E 1 G H T H G R A D E EIGHTH GRADE CLASS HISTORY The crew of the good ship Study” gathered at noon on September seventh, at the home port ready for another year’s voyage into the Sea of Knowledge. Miss Olson was again our crew adviser. We selected Oscar Beale as our Captain; Joanne Moen. Second Mate, and Gloria Harder, our Recorder. We were glad to welcome four new’ members, Phyllis Hake, Junior Stock, Donald Plymesser, and Dorothy Freepartner to the crew. In a few w’eeks we had set sail and docked in Brazil and in no time found ourselves trekking through Amazonia capturing vicious adjectives and adverbs in the dense tropical jungles. We were unexpectedly called out of the jungles to participate in the magazine campaign and tried valiantly to surpass the seventh grade crew, but it captured the honors. Then came the magazine costume party w'hich was a tremendous success. Amos and Andy”, who were impersonated by Wilbur Kortman and Calvin Krause, wfere prize winners. After visiting Mexico, we sailed back to the home port to participate in the Christmas Operetta, The Legend of the Snowman.” Shortly afterwards, we spent a two week furlough with our parents—a vacation which seemed all too short. In January, the crew embarked for Africa, and upon arrival there, tramped through South Africa and the Belgian Congo jungles fighting ferocious hypotenuses, square roots, and subordinate clauses. Then we encountered the Bog of Despair , but Calvin w'orked hard to extricate us with his antics and funny stories. About this time our spirits rose at the thought of a Valentine’s party with the seventh grade crew as guests. The party was a success and the refreshments disappeared with incredible rapidity. Among other outsanding events of the year were the gym demonstrations, the art exhibit, and the forensic contests. Of course, one of the principle chores on the good ship Study” was that of preparing the meals. The mess.” uhually prepared by the Junior Home Economics class, turned out fairly successfully for the beginners. Toward the end of the year, we published an annual depicting the highlights of the year’s cruise. June seventh finally came and we sailed into home port for three months of glorious vacation time. —June Durkee. An Eighth Grader. PAGE TWENTY TWO

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Flirty-eight of us terrified, wobbly-legged, saucer-eyed Freshmen on September 7, 1937 cautiously entered the portals of the institution which was to guide us on the right track for the next four years. Miss Hein acted as our adviser. After a month, when we were all better acquainted, we had a class election. Those elected to office were: President, W. Markgraff; Vice President, B. Dabareiner; Treas- urer, M. Hennen; Secretary, M. Lembrich; Student Council. B. Hemday and R. Probst. Although there weren’t many boys in our class, nevertheless, most of them might be classed as of the athletic type. Seven went out for football and one went out for basketball. C. Smillie wras fortunate enough to make the basketball team. Our class basketball team, on various occasions, played the seventh and eighth grade as well as the upper classmen. Members of this team were: M. Lembrich, W. Markgraff. R. Griffin, R. Serns, C. Strese, R. Biederman, Richard Biederman, E. Bartel, R. Heger, J. McGurk and J. Barrett. The girls were much too active to be excluded from athletic activities. Twenty freshmen girls became members of the G.A.A. There are other activities which, we. the grads of 1941, entered. Seven freshmen were in the Band, forty-two in the Glee Club, and one in the Orchestra. In the forensic contests this year. M. Hennen, M. Sayre and L. Henry representing the Freshmen, participated in the declamatory contest as did E. Rueth and R. Heger in the oratorical contest. One of the big social events of the year wras the Freshmen ‘Get Acquainted” Mixer, which was held at the beginning of the year. The Civics classes celebrated the Christmas season on the day before Christmas vacation, with a party held in each of the Civics classes, when songs, plays, refreshments and the exchanging of gifts and greetings featured the afternoon activities. We must add to our list of achievements the results of a very successful magazine campaign when we earned more than our quota. $130.50. In the years to come we hope to surpass our records so that a most successful Junior Prom and one of the best annuals any senior class ever hoped for will be published. There were ten freshmen on the semester honor roll. The highest scholastic average was 95.25 which was obtained by B. Dabareiner. She ranked second highest for the whole school. Other members on the honor roll were: M. Braun, M. Hennen, R. Ehlenfeldt, B. Hernday, M. Lembrich and H. Statz. We complete our first year of high school with the desire to produce as much development in each individual as we can. With the united enthusiasm of a group which is intent upon the continuance of splendid w'ork begun during a happy but purposeful freshmen year, we hope to become future leaders of the J.H.S. —Ruth Ehlenfeldt, Freshmen Student.

SEVENTH GRADE Class History On September 7, 1937, twenty-three seventh graders, later joined by four more pupils, anxiously took up our duties as students of Junior High. One-fourth of us come from rural districts. In the election of class officers, John Mueller was selected President; Barbara Hetland, Vice-President; Wanda Houghton, Secretary; and James Reul, Treasurer. During the year we have had many interesting projects. From our language books we conceived the idea of editing a class newspaper which we called the “Tattler” and published every three weeks. We chose Barbara Hetland as our editor-in chief. In reading, the boys studied inventions and the girls, prospective careers. Since the beginning of the year, we have listened to the Ranger Mac Radio Programs on Conservation which are broadcast from Madison every Monday morning. We made a scrapbook project on conservation based on every tale Ranger Mac presented. Another activity in which the entire Junior, as well as the Senior High School, participated was the magazine campaign. Members of the team selling its quota of magazines were given lollipops which they were allowed to eat during school. The seventh grade was the winning team, and therefore it had the privilege of enjoying these suckers. The old tradition of giving a Christmas operetta was again followed this year. All the children from the public grade school took part in the operetto, “The Legend of the Snowman,” on December 17. The leading role was played by a seventh grade boy, Quentin Copeland. The elaborate costumes and appropriate songs, well sung, make this an outstanding event. During the year we also had parties which we have enjoyed very much. One was given at Thanksgiving and one at Christmas. We hope the years to come will be as happy and full of tun and joy as this year has been. —-Betty Dabareiner, Seventh Grade. s E V E N T H G R A E 1 PAGE TWENTY-THREE
