Our civics club which we organized the early part of the year has greatly helped us to learn parliamentary procedure. Officers held their office for one semester. The first semester Barbara Dabareiner was speaker and Bill MarkgrafT clerk. The second semester Lois Henry was elected speaker and Oscar Beale clerk. Meetings were held each Friday afternoon. The annual declamatory and oratorical contest occurred March 15. An unusually large number participated this year, a total of twenty-one. The year, as you see. has been a happy intermingling of work and recreation. Officers of Eighth Grade: President. Lois Henry; Secretary. Bob Serns. Officers of Seventh Grade: President. Leslie Stengel; Secretary, Mary Neis. Barbara Dabareiner. JUNIORS We are the Juniors of Jefferson High School, As Freshmen and Sophomores we were no fools. As Juniors we are the cream of the crop, Starling at the bottom and working to the top. A very smart class, without a doubt; Whose brains and genius, teachers can’t do without. Our goal we set exceptionally high. We are bound to make it—will never say die! Before I go further. I think you should know, The talents of those, who want to make dough. In our hall of fame, we have Eddie Jung; If he keeps on acting, he’ll surely be hung. In business, we have Tiny, the Sausage King:” Who talks a lot of baloney, not found in a ring! A very smart girl this little Tony” Made her grades in Latin without a Pony.” Now who do you think it is, who leaves the boys in a lurch? No I won’t say who I’m going to Church. Sleeping all day is a difficult art. But to Leroy Zimmermann it is only a start. Dolores smiles, and her dimples Get the boys down—the rest is simple. When it comes to fancy drawing, there’s Chip Who draws anything from a pin to a ship. Marion is noted for making curls; She is constantly called upon, by the girls. If I pass. I’ll see you next year To tell you more of a class, whose future is clear. CLASS OF THIRTY-SEVEN Hail to the June grades of ’37 Our hats are off to you. You’ve had a difficult task And successfully carried it through. Twelve years ago you started a ship That would be great and strong, A ship to sail on any sea And go both far and long. The keel was laid the first four years, Strong, straight, and true. One that would be able to take all knocks And safely carry you through. For the next four years you fit the ribs And laid the perfect decks. And nothing but the best was used So there would be no wrecks. MEMORIES A reminiscent smile, A far away look. We dream awhile Over the latest book. We remember days of youth, We remember the gay rush. We remember Chip and Ruth, And then we begin to blush. All our friends we see, Friends of the past, These last years the finishing touches The straight masts and cabins trim, The sides all bright and shining Seaworthy in every seam. You’ve crammed her hold with treasure From all ports of the nation: Pearls of wisdom, gems of facts. And called her Education. So launch her now with happy hearts And point to her with pride; Your primary task is finished And you can sail outside. To meet the storms and the future sends The squalls, the calms, bad weather Your treasures if rightly used Will help you on forever. Richard Greig. We remember Bob and Dee Memories come fast. We remember school days. We remember gay parties. We remember debates and plays And all our datees. Remember our Junior Class! How we worked for our prom How we managed to pass. Memories! What Fun. —Genevieve Church. PAGE I WEVn I Ol II

iisir Among the extra-curricular activities the Jefferson High School Band is the most prominent. It was started in 1923 under the direction of Mr. Kluck. At this time it consisted of thirty-nine members, who were very eager to build the organization up. Mr. Kluck taught the band for one year when Mr. Rodat, in 1924. took charge. He was the first who had the band enter a state band tournament at Lake Geneva in 1924. On February 1, 1926, Mr. Anhalt became the teacher, and we were extremely fortunate in retaining as able and persistent a leader. One and one-half days were set aside for Mr. Anhalt to come to Jefferson. Eight years later instead of the regular one and one-half days a week, two days were set aside. In 1937 it was arranged for Mr. Anhalt to come for two and one-half days a week. Mr. Lee, who in 1935 became the Business Manager, has endeavored to create some really splendid work. We owe the wonderful band rank formation to him. He has practiced with the group three times a week making definite progress, as you all must have observed if you attended any football games. Mr. Lee has also cultivated some wonderful techniques in the drumming section and many boys are proud to have them. Every year the band has attended some tournament and at this present date is planning to attend either the Lake Geneva or Madison tournaments in the middle of May. November 19th, the band played over W.I.B.U. and on Dec. 14th, held its usual semi-annual concert. Year after year this organization has grown, until at present sixty-two participate. We are always glad to have ncw-comers join, for they, and only they, will make up our future band. The orchestra originated in 1914. under the direction of Killiam Worrell, the manual arts instructor. Mr. Werrell was a lover of music and was very instrumental in organizing the orchestra which played mostly for pleasure as well as for special school programs. In 1920, Miss Richardson, who was interested, became their instructor. It has gradually increased in size and now has twentv-seven members. It furnishes the music for the class play and every fall and spring contributes its bit to the concerts. We hope they shall continue their good work. As early as 1926 the Junior Band developed. It has greatly increased in size. also, as you have probably noted. This is the body of young boys and girls that wc should be interested in. for they are our future musicians. Give all you have to music, little members, and you will never regret it. Orchestra SEPTEMBER 9. 1936 The first day of orchestra was given over to the electing of officers. Betty Jungkuntz was chosen president and Rosella Ganser. secretary-treasurer. Due to the carelessness of the members in forgetting their instruments, we were entertained the rest of the period by solos played by Mr. Anhalt. NOVEMBER 20. 1936 This evening the members of the junior class called upon the orchestra to furnish the music. They played from 8:00 to 8:15 then between each act and concluded with two very good numbers. People always enjoy the music furnished by the orchestra on such occasions. DECEMBER 4, 1936 One of the organizations which helped to make the fall concert a success was the orchestra. It opened the program with “The Patriot March.” Several other pieces were played, followed by a violin solo by Barbara Brayton and a trombone solo by Maynard Sell. An overture concluded the program. The audience showed their appreciation by the large encore given the orchestra, which truly they deserved. MARCH 8, 1937 Once again the Boy Scout Committee asked the orchestra to play several pieces for an introduction of their program, and in the middle to play a soft melody. The orchestra certainly comes in handy. I Adi; TWENTY-SIX
