The 1934 football team seems to have settled the issue, at least locally. Into the face of innumerable odds, it bravely marched, defeating squads superior in size and brawn, but not brains. Designated by football critics as the dark-horsel' of the conference, it out- smarted them all to Win the championship. Moreover, it is the first unbeaten team ever to appear on this high school gridiron. Never before in the annals of Kaukauna High School has such an enviable record been established. VVe believe we may be justly proud. of the 1934 football team. Its morale, its record, and its co-operation left nothing to be desiredg on the contrary, it represents the acme of gridiron achievement. What it lacked in size it amply made up in aggressiveness. From the shriek of the starting Whistle to the crack of the final gun, the team played a smart, :superior brand of ball, so characteristic of Kaukauna outfits. Throughout the season, the squad was handicapped by numerous injuries. These injuries, instead of impeding the team's progress, only acted as an incentive to victory. Then too, the morale of the machine cannot be over- emphasized. At no time could one find them lacking in respect. Their fixed purpose was to make each game a stepping stone to glory, and this, coupled with a do-or-die spirit, was invincible. A spectator could not help but feel impressed by the team's spirit. Courage and determination were clearly written on each and every grim face. Suffice it to say that 4'pep and indomitable valor were always part of its make-up. Rarely was a player not able to say truthfully, 'AI have fought the good fight---f'

v Mr. Nelson Mrs. McCarty Mr. Haupt School Board The students wish to take this opportunity to express their appreciation to the members of the Board of Education for their unceasing and sincere efforts toward promoting the welfare of the student body. A full realization of the responsibility for an educational institution is too often minimized. The past year has presented them with many more responsibilities, calling for constant consideration and application of time. On many occasions, the members had to relinquish their business hours and leisure time to discuss the innumerable problems which arose in connection with the construction of the new high school gymnasium and auditorium. At the very outset of the school year, the board was faced with the problem of whether or not to initiate the proposal for new additions to the high school. The particular suitabilities of the individual board members ideally qualified them to make this important decision. Mrs. Joe McCarty, a former home economics teacher, through her prior contact with students, was able to understand the student viewpoint and the necessity for the new additions. .li Mr. N. Haupt, board president, Mr. William Hass, Mr. Marshall Bayorgeon and Mr. Edward Rennicke, all prominent business men had the benefit of their contact with th e public and with other business men. Mr. Van Dyke, whose work often takes him outside of the city, was able to obtain the viewpoint of non- residents of Kaukauna. Mr. L. Nelson, well known industrialist, was able to use his experience in financial matters to good ad- vantage. The members of the school board will always be remembered in the minds of the students as the ones who brought about the culmination of a decade of stu- dent dreams and hopes. The thanks of the student body fades into insignificance when there is considered the lasting tribute which the completed structures will present far into the future.
