THE COMIC STRIP JAMBOREE John Senior has secured a position us a reader of comics over station J. H. S. It is the end of his first working day, and he is so tired. Ah! for a bed and a good rest. Having gained the privacy and peacefulness of his bed, he immediately falls asleep. Even in his slumber, however, his new position haunts him. The comic strip characters are having a jamboree, and the Class of 1939 is attending in all its finery. Everyone is entering in the fun. As he sleeps, John sees the following little scenes: As is the custom at many of today’s parties, the Big Apple is being danced by many of the gay young couples.

This is also true at the comic strip jamboree, for we find a cheery group preparing sandwiches, salads, and other refreshments for the guests. Among these helpers are not only the more experienced cooks, but some comic characters who are “cutting up” to quite an extent. The cooks and their not too able assistants are: Mammy Yokum and Uncle Toby............................M.

Friedel Seven thirty and time for John Senior to rise, for his comic strip program is on the air at eleven, and he has yet to read the comics from every daily paper in the city. What a night! No sleep and no rest because of those funny characters w hom he so wished to leave behind in the studio. No, wherever he goes the comics follow' him. but as they so closely resemble John’s friends from the Class of ’39, he feels that the comics aren’t such a terrible groun to have in a nightmare. Perhaps, as he has recalled his many friends, the night has not been so very bad after all. PACK SIXTEEN

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Our graduating class of ’38 has the unusual distinction of being the fiftieth class to have been graduated from the four year high school course offered at Jefferson High School. We have done many things well and have assumed leadership willingly and cheerfully, and as we leave the doors of J. H. S. on the last day, we hope that our senior year will remain in the minds of those students who will be taking our place in years to come. In the election of officers we chose the following students whom we considered both representative and efficient: Robert Tensfeldt- President. Robert Miller—Vice President, Ruth Beck Secretary, June Blomberg Treasurer, Fannie Ives, Marion Clark, Dolores Seifert, Merlin Tews, John Statz and Vernon Voss Student Council. That with boys like Les” Pruefer, Bob” Tensfeldt, Bob” Diedrich. Ed.” Jung, Jack Statz. ‘ Bob” Miller. Chip Seeber, Tom Burnett, John Shakshesky, Merlin Tews. Jerry Lynch, and John Griffin, all earning J’s , we have every reason to be proud of what we have done on the football field. Although we were not as well represented in basketball. Bob Miller, Jack” Statz. “Tom Burnett, Ed. Jung, and Jerry Lynch, our J” winners in this sport, will be five boys which time will have a problem to replace on the basketball floor. In intramural and class basketball we felt proud of Donald Monogue. John Griffin, Lcs” Pruefer, Bob Diedrich, Harold Wright, Leroy Zimmerman. Herbert Edwards, Chip” Seeber. Merlin Tews, and Elmer Lukas, who exhibited their ability and sportmanship in exemplary fashion. The girls, likewise, assumed leadership in sports, and our G. A. A. Board was composed of Antoinette Cornish President, Wilma Niebler Vice President. Dolores Seifert Secretary and Treasurer, Ruth Beck Point Secretary. Lorraine Haas Hockey, Ruth Griese Basketball. Marion Clark Volleyball, Eunice Dobratz— Baseball, and Genevieve Church—Tumbling. Antoinette Cornish and David Halfen represented us in debate while Francis Streim and David Halfen were the senior participants in the oratory contest. We felt proud of Genevieve Church who won the All School Humorous Declamatory Contest. We have reason to consider ourselves musically inclined when we look at the large number of seniors who have been members of the Glee Clubs for four year. In that number we note Robert Tensfeldt. Edward Jung. Marion Clark, Jenny Higbie, Lorraine Haas. Helen Endl, Ruth Beck. Antoinette Cornish. Fannie Ives. Dolores Seifert, Eunice Dobratz, Wilma Niebler. Lorraine Ambrose. Ruth Marek. Jean Brueckner. and Elaine Horn, who have been in this organization for that period of time. The most accomplished of our band members were Robert Miller, Lorraine Ambrose, FYancis Streim, Antoinette Cornish. Robert Stroebel, William Meinel, John Statz, and Edward Jung, who have four years of active membership credited to themselves. The Senior Class Play. The Arrival of Kitty , a comedy which everyone enjoyed, proved the acting ability of David Halfen. Ruth Beck, Edward Jung, Francis Streim, Richard Seeber, Thomas Burnett, Genevieve Church, Antoinette Cornish and June Blomberg. Scholastically considered, we have every reason to consider ourselves the leaders of the school, for there were eight of us who had an average of 90 per cent or above during our high school career. The eight are Dorothy Hendricksen, Antoinette Cornish, Lorraine Ambrose. Marion Schiesl, Gladys Streich, Ruth Beck, David Halfen and Fannie Ives. As graduation night approaches, we anxiously await the message which our speaker, Mr. Frank Holt, Head of the Extension Department of the University of Wisconsin, will leave us. On that evening two girls who have achieved the highest scholastic honors in the senior class will give their valedictory and salutatory addresses. Those two scholastic leaders are Dorothy Hendricksen and Antoinette Cornish respectively. The music for the occasion will be furnished by the senior girls, members of the Girls’ Glee Club, who will sing the songs. Maytime , and Gute Nacht. In appreciation to the many parties who have been instrumental in making our graduation possible, we wish to express our sincerest gratitude to our parents who willingly and unselfishly made our high school days a reality, to the Board of Education which provided for us the excellent facilities for our education, to Mr. R. S. Smith, our Superintendent, who has so willingly and cheerfully advised us in our many problems and to our instructors who did their best to make our school days purposeful and enjoyable.

THE JUNIOR BOOKSHELF When it concerns sixty-eight entertaining characters, one would expect the story to be a particularly interesting narration. The story of the Junior Class is just that! Owing to the numerous incidents, equally varied and exciting, it has been necessary to write them in separate volumes and arrange them in an orderly row on our bookshelf. The first volume entitled, “True Life Stories of Famous People”, relates the sensational happenings in the life of our President. R. Krusing, the heart-throbbing, heart-breaking romances of K. Sems, Vice President. J. Rentmeester, Secretary J. Feind, Treasurer, B. Bullwinkel and P. Seifert, student counselors, in which the newly purchased class rings seem to get deeply involved in a universal “exchange.” The next volume labeled Extra” devotes itself to extra curricular activities. It begins with a review of the Junior Class Play. Seventeen”, in which chief credit was given to the excellent “Baby-talk-lady”, E. Offner. and to R. Miller for his great characterization of “ickle boy Baxter”. Reading the book will acquaint you with the rest of the cast including: M. Houghton. M. Schultz. J. Feind, T. Griffin. E. Luedtke, R. Foskett. R. Krusing. J. Hebbe, R. Shakshesky, E. Waterbury. J. Rentmeester, and M. Doebereiner. The second half is given over to debate in which B. Jungkuntz, B. Bullwinkel, E. OfTner. J. Feind, M. Schultz, and J. Rentmeester were the chief “wordbattlers”. A good description of the heroic efforts of the Declamatory and Oratory participants, R. Miller, D. Moen, J. Feind. J. Northey, and P. Schlagenhauf, is also given. The third volume is titled “Discords on the Harpsichord.” It tells of the juniors' dealing with music. Many members of the class lend their cultured, uncultured, and ever-changing voices to vocalizing in the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs while others are active participants in the Orchestra and Band. The Junior Band is indeed fortunate in having the famous Maestro, Wiennie” Sell as assistant conductor. The volume named Wim. Wigor, and Witality” deals with athletics in which the Juniors dispel, the three W’s” in generous portions. In basketball and football. R. Wagner. R. Foskett, R. Krusing. and L. Vogel seemed to be our best bets. In class basketball, the team composed of E. Schmidt, R. Foskett. R. Krumsee, W. Popp, E. Waterbury, L. Roessler, and T. Griffin made a fine showing. The girls also engaged in competitive sports of vigorus and semi-vigorous nature. In hockey, the junior girls were well on the way to a championship when the final game was called off an account of snow The last and most colorful, most sparklingly worded books tells of the Junior Prom, made a success because of the able supervision of Miss Rankin. It describes the artisic decorations, enchanting music, and the stately Grand March led by their Majesties”. P. Seifert and M. Hernday. If these volumes have left you with the feeling that you want to hear more about these same characters, the next installment will be found next year on our Senior Bookshelf.
