WOOD’S BRICK BLOCK GRAND RAPIDS, WISCONSIN NORMINGTON BROS. THE EAUNDERERS LAUNDRIES AT GRAND RAPIDS. MARSHFIELD AND STEVENS POINT $1800 A MONTH FOR TEN MONTHS We might figure it this way. If a man without education or training earns $1.50 a day for 300 days in a year he does pretty well for an average. If he keeps it up for 40 years he w ill earn $18,000. Now suppose he had taken a ten months course in the (irand Rapids Business College and was able to earn $75 a month—a low average in the same 40 years he would have earned $36,000. The difference then. $18,000 is the actual money value of the 10 months spent in the Business College or $1800 a month.

The cast chosen is an excellent one, each and every member answering perfectly all requirements of the part assigned. Moreover, there has been a faithfulness and interest in rehearsals which always assures the success of any production. A brief synopsis of the story is as follows: The wealth and property of the (Tackenthorpes, an old and aris- tocratic family of England, had been left to the elder son, Lord Anthony, who, among his other oddities, has taken as his hobby the study of spiders. Lady Crackenthorpe and other members of the family regard him as rather a good th'ng and object strenuously to his marriage with Peggy, the pretty, impulsive daughter of the late Professor O’Mara, R. I. S., an eminent authority on trap door spiders. Peggy’s mother, Mrs. O'Mara, conceives the idea of marrying her daughter to Lord Anthony and uses all her knowledge on spiders to this end, thinking that such a marriage would be an excellent thing for both mother and daughter. The Crackenthorpes, however, are determined that no such plans will mature, so they persuade Jimmy, the second son of the family, a handsome, im- petuous young man, to “dazzle” Peggy, thus distracting her atten- tion from Anthony. As soon as Peggy and Jimmy meet they decide to marry Mrs. O’Mara to Anthony, in which scheme they succeed with apparent satisfaction to everybody but Lady Crackenthorpe. Because of the suddenness of Peggy, many humorous and com- plicated situations ar se, but Jimmy is always there to untangle the most intricate knots. He even sticks a torn marriage license to- gether which Peggy all of a sudden tears to pieces and as suddenly changes her mind and decides that she and Jimmy may need it at some future time.

One hundred and eighteen of us entered this high school as Freshmen. We were as green as the flag of old Erin. Most of us came here to gather knowledge from this institution of learning, some to pass the time away, while others came to teach Prof. Kell how to take care of the high school. A few determined to take physics and solid geometry but were kindly persuaded not to by Mr. Schwede, who gently told them such studies were not for little Freshmen. We received many lectures from Prof. Kell, who carefully explained to us that the hall was not a race track and that the clock was not a target for paper wads but an instrument by which the t me of the day could sometimes be told. These were dreary days for us and we waited impatiently for the time to pass. The football season finally opened and some of the less timid Freshmen attempted to make the team. We were veiy agreeably surprised when we learned that Louis Barret had made the team. We shall always remember him as a warrior, not as a football warrior, but one who uses his fists, for he was ever engaged in a physical combat with a Junior. At last the first semester came to a close and we had to wr te our first big examination. We were so frightened that we changed fiom our natural greenish color to a pale white. Most of us pa ;sed the examinations successfully, though some who had squandered too much time away started the Freshmen studies anew. The second semester passed even more slowly than the first and a3 the time dragged slowly along some of the Fres! men could en- duie the strain no longer and they left us more fortunate ones to ursue our studies. We then dete? mined to finish the school year, most of us because we were forced to. Slowly the end drew nea and as we once more took our pen in hand to write the final exam at onB, we wished that all of the evils that can befall any human being would fall on the person that had invented high school. But ns most of the unbearable times usually come to an end. so our first year at high school passed, and as a traveler in the desert feels when he sights some water, so we felt when we saw our vacation days looming before us. And .the only thing we could think of a3 a reward for our long year of hardships was that we were no longer Freshmen. The next year we entered the high school as Sophomores. Fifty of our number had left us but we were still considered a large class. We tried to make the best of things and we settled down for an- other nine months of confinement. This year we were busier than the year before. Besides our studies we had to teach the Freshie; manners and to respect their elders, especially the Sophomores. We thought that we were now firmly established in the high school, but we trembled when we heard the words geometry and botany. The first game of the football season opened with two Sophomores on the team. To most of us this year passed on as slowly as the previous one. The manual training boys thought themselves expert specialists who could be consulted on large engineering projects such as the Panama ('anal. Pate Twenty Seven The season for basket ball opened and two Sophomores made the team. In the tournament we came out third. Harold Babcock, one of our distinguished members, won first place in the oratorical contest, which was quite an honor to the Sophomores. This year closed without other important events. Of the original one hundred and eighteen pupils of our class forty-eight came back to start the third year of their high school career, while ten came to us from the class of 1913. This year we first began to realize the value of a high school education. We then began to spend our time in studying instead of gazing at the clock. This year also brought us new interests. The boys were ad- mitted to the Debating Society, while the girls entered the Literary Society. We also elected (lass officers. Myron Hill was elected President of our class. New studies were introduced in the school. The Junior boys have the distinction of having organized the first Trigonometry class of this school. Penmanship was introduced, much to the discom- fiture of the Junior class. Instead of the customary Junior Prom a class play was given, which was very successful. Our third year at high school thus passed swiftly away. Almost before we knew it we were Seniors. We were the leaders, the ones that set the pace for the whole school. We be- longed to the class that is respected and looked up to by the under classmen. Leon Foley was chosen as our President. Committees were chosen. Our ring and pins were ordered in due time. Senior class meetings were held very often, although not much was done. The girls discussed their next year’s dress with chiffon trimmings, while the boys talked over “Happy” Felsh’s home run swats. The days of the Senior year passed away much too fast for us and the few remaining days are flying faster than ever. We now frown at the clock as the hands swiftly go round and round. When these days are at an end, no longer will we welcome the ring of the bell at four o’clock; no longer will we watch the movement of the clock that watched over us when we were high school students. We have accomplished what we set out to do. Today we are to- gether, tomorrow we will be forever parted from the life that seemed to us so monotonous and so dreary. But we will never forget the many days that we spent in trying to better ourselves in the dear old Lincoln high, hope that they too reached ours. Others will hereafter take our places and will reach their destination as happily as F. A. BRANDECKER, ’14. we we Page Twenty Fight TO OUR TEACHERS 7fcrc'x lorc to you. teachers of Lincoln.

Perhaps we imagined it. but it seemed that every time we moved we blundered, but, of course, we were only Freshmen. “Green, Little Freshmen,“ as the upper classmen termed us. However, we soon made them conscious of our presence, for we were one hun- dred and two in number and consequently occupied considerable space in the main room. We worked unwearingly through the nine months of school; with much joy carried our promotion cards home for approval, and we felt that the only unusual th ng we had done was that we had taken penmanship. Again, in 1912, the spacious halls resounded with echoes of hurrying footsteps, for the term of study had begun. Oh! what a relief it was to see younger pupils occupying Freshmen seats, while sixty of us sat proudly in the Sophomore rows, one step nearer the top of the ladder. He who said “Conceited Sophomores ’ was surely a Junior; yet, we wanted our rights. It is true that the boys rebelled when ordered to buy music books, but finally submitted, for they knew they would not be considered good citizens if they disobeyed the rules of the school. As a result of their decision, each boy became an owner of a Halycon music book. The class appreciated the honor of electing class officers, for was that not a Junior and Senior privilege? Delma Padgham was elected President; Stanton Brazeau, Vice President; Verna Welch, Secretary, and Dolores Ward, Treasurer. We were allowed to have meetings and elect officers so that we might collect class material for the Ahdahwagam, a high school paper brought into existence by the Senior class. Although there was no member of the class play- ing on the basket ball or football teams, the games were always attended by the majority of the class. The year passed rather un- eventfully for us. The fall of 1913 saw forty-seven Juniors enrolled. Excitement prevailed for the first few weeks, then we settled down to the hard tasks of the third year. We realized the importance of our new positions when we became members of the Literary and Debating Societies. Next, class meet ng was held and we elected the follow- ing officers to represent our class- Dean Babcock, President; George Gibson, Vice President; Stanton Brazeau. Secretary; and Verna Welch, Treasurer. The days passed by quickly, for busy days are always short ones. Aside from the studies there were a few rec- reations and amusements such as basket ball and football games, debates, contests, glee clubs, the minstrel show and the class play, in each of which the Junior class has been represented. Second place in the district contest was awarded to a Junior, Marguerite Kagan; while the victories of the football games were partially due to four members of our class—Chester Ridgman, Howard Mullen. Dean Babcock and Wesley Natwick. Besides these valuable contri- butions, the business manager of almost all the high school activities of the year was a Junior, Raymond Mullen, who showed h s ability in financing the debate. Junior class play, minstrel show and the Annual. With the co-operation of the class we hope that next year we can produce an Annual that will long be cherished by its readers. So here’s to the class of ’15. DOLORES WARD.

Theta Phi and Kappa Beta Sigma. Molly acted as maid in the home of the newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Dick Preston, as Mrs. Preston was an active member of the Theta Phi. Stanley Palmer was taken as butler into the same household, and the parts they assumed led them nto interesting and humorous situations. The second plot dealt with the hiding and finding of a will. Robert Preston, the lawyer, was entrusted with a will left by an eccentric old man, Mr. Brown, who had been duped into marriage with a dashing widow, for the purpose of obtaining his wealth. The supposed will was stolen from Preston’s safe by the widow’s beau- tiful daughter, Louise Ross, who at a masked ball was disguised as Marion Dayton, Preston’s ward. The Imp. a sly Freshman, came to the rescue, and the real will was then restored to Douglas Brown, the only son of Mr. Brown. Marion sacrificed her ideals to save Jack, who was Preston’s secretary, from disgrace, but during the finding of the will, Preston found that he loved Marion, and finally the sun shone, the clouds disappeared, for Robert and Marion found their heart’s desire—at the End of the Rainbow. As a high school production the play was unusually successful. The assembly room was crowded with people who declared them- selves delighted with the play and with the ability of the young actors. After all expenses were paid, the proceeds of one hundred and fourteen dollars was given to the Athletic Association. Pag Thirty One SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Vacation days were over and we entered high school as Sopho- mores. We were no longer disorderly, green Freshmen, but sedate and orderly Sophomores. In long strides we were rapidly climbing our ladder with its many loop holes, but we mastered each hard step and were ever ready for other problems to solve. The football season came with the October sun. From our class Rrnim Smith and Malcolm Johnson were chosen for representatives in that game and because two Sophomores were on the team but one game was lost. The Christmas holiday finals came again, but this time they did not frighten us, and we bravely wrote our exams. We then took our places in the Sophomore “A” rows, with a proud feeling in our hearts that one more step had been gained. At the end of the basket ball season the Seniors, Juniors, Sopho- mores and Freshmen organized a team for each class and prepared for a tournament. On March fourth, fifth, sixth the tournament was given between the rival classes and each team played three games. This proved very exciting and the final honors were given to our Sophomore team. At the beginning of our Freshman year one hundred boys and girls filled the ranks of our class, but now while we are Sophomores that number is diminished by nearly one score. In our first year we made many mistakes for we were doing these things for the first time. Everything was different from that which we were used to. Sometimes we were disappointed because we found things more difficult than we had expected, but we kept steadily on. Our Sophomore year, now nearly ended, has seemed all too short. As we look back we forget the hard, disagreeable things. We remember only the two first years of joys and pleasures, which only a high school education can bring. In June we will have crossed the threshold of our two years in this high school, and we leave behind the pleasures, joys and disappointments that have been ours. The dark and gloomy days are also forgotten. We often ask the questions: What shall we do when we are Juniors and Seniors? What will each new year bring? We cannot tell, and feel as Shakes- peare says, “Only the event will teach us in its hour.” ELEANOR STAFFELD. Pate Thirty Two FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY In the fall of the year 1913 we entered the high school as Freshmen. In the eyes of the upper classmen we may have looked quite green, but they were all there once. When we have taken the places of the older students, we will look down upon the Fresh- men of each year and see the same green qualities in them that are seen in us now. Shortly after becoming Freshmen we were all called to the music room to plan for a party. With several teachers for ad- visers, plans were drawn up in preparation for the party. A small fee was collected to pay for the refreshments. The night of the party a large crowd gathered and a very pleasant evening was spent in games of all sorts. The room was decorated to suit the season of the year. One night Mr. Schwede gave the class an excellent talk in which he mentioned the size of the class and expressed the wish that we all graduate together and thus be the largest graduating class the school has ever had. We number about one hundred and twenty, although there has been a number of additions and subtractions. Among us we have a personage, Glenn Shellhammer, who played on the football team which was victorious in so many games. We have others who are business men, wonderful fishermen (George Corriveau), pianists, singers, and so on. To get some extra money for athletic purposes a gymnastic ex- hibition was given, which was largely attended. Many acrobatic stunts and folk dances were given as amusement for the crowd. Many Freshmen turned out for basketball practice and became quite adept in the game. After long and hard practice a team was chosen. This team took part in the tournament for young players and did excellent work. For a remembrance the Freshmen are collecting money to buy a picture for Miss Gaskell’s room. Collectors were appointed in the different classes and some money has been brought in. The picture has not yet been decided upon but will be in the near future. Although we have not gone very far in school or made as large or great a history as the other classes, it is well to watch and see us grow. It takes quality besides quantity to make a reputation, and we have both. CLASS OF 1913 THEO. BRADFORD, Class President, motor tender at Consolidated Miil.

ALUMNI NOXES In September. 1913, a romance of high school days was brought to a fitting climax when Floy Quinn and George Peltier, both of the class of 1905, were united in marriage. Mr. Peltier is now Pro- fessor of Agriculture in the University of Illinois at Urbana. Inez Reichel, ‘09. and Helen Taylor, ’12, are contemplating a trip to Europe this summer under the chaperonage of Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Jackson. Robert Nash. 01, was appointed postmaster of this city by Presi- dent Wilson. Dean Brundage, ’09, has again been awarded honors at the University of Wisconsin. A few week ago. due to excellent work, hp was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity. Albert Natwick. of the class of ’09, surprised not only his class- mates but everybody who knows him, when he and Miss Cecil Eggert suddenly departed for Chicago and were married on March 30th. Clarence Jackson, also of ’09, was best man. Anthony Looze, ’08. has recently received the degree of M. D. at the St. Louis University. During this year Anthony has taught a class in Physics at the University. The members of the class of 1912 were shocked and grieved to hear of the death of James Gaynor on April 30th. Prior to his death, James had been with a stock company in Milwaukee doing Pat Thirty Five under-study work and taking minor parts. This spring he was similarly employed in laying the foundation for his career as a playwright in Pittsburgh, Pa. While there he contracted a severe case of scarlet fever, which caused his death. His remains were brought to this city for interment and six of his former schoolmates were pallbearers. His classmates, and all those who knew him, sin- cerely mourn his loss. Wednesday evening, October 29, 1913, Marjorie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Kellogg, and a member of the Senior Class of 1914, passed away at her home. Her death was very sudden and a great shock to all her rel- atives and friends. Asa Freshman, Marjorie attended Lincoln High School, but spent her Sophomore and Junior years at Grafton Hall, Fond du Lac, isconsin, re- turning to graduate with the present Senior Class. Although her association with high school life was very brief, she was dearly loved by all her classmates, and her absence is the only source of sadness of the entire year. GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club, consisting of its old members and several new members, was reorganized the first part of the sc’ ool year. Under the unceasing efforts of Miss Reeves it has been a great success. Unlike the Boys’ Glee Club, it was not necessary for one to un- dergo any vocal examination before becoming a member. The first sopranos selected were Ruby Huntington. Berna Schlatterer, Mar- guerite Ragan, Ruth Fontaine, Dolores Ward, Bernice Gill. Isabel Werle, Aline Smith and Dell Padgham. The second sopranos were Mannon Matthews, Gertrude Philleo, Amy Carrington and Marie Hoeneveld. The altos were Zelda Eggert, Verna Welch, Gladys Natwick and Marion Philleo. Regina Muller was their able accompanist. The music, which consisted of classical pieces only, was carefully se- lected by Miss Reeves. The first song displaying the ability of the Glee Club was “Estu- diantina,” sung at the George Washington program which took place in the high school auditorium. Much time had been spent on this piece and it was highly appreciated by the audience. The girls were also requested to sing at several parental meet- ings and lectures, and they also helped furnish music while the audience waited for the judges' decision of the oratorical and de- clamatory contest. At a parental meeting given at the Port Edwards high school they were again requested to sing. This event was greatly enjoyed and the loyal manner in which they were entertained was greatly appreciated. Due to the fact that the Club had but three Seniors in the chorus we sincerely hope that ne t year the remaining members can take up the work and have it as successful as this year’s has been. MARION PHILLEO. Page Thirty Six BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Every good high school has a Glee Club, but every high school has not a good Glee Club. Grand Rapids has had the distinction during the past year of being one the best equipped high schools and of having one of the finest Glee Clubs in this section of the country. The organization for the past year was composed of eighteen members, which, with the Girls’ Glee Club, represented the musical ability of the school. The club was under the able direction of Mr. Wells, who through continued effort and untiring patience made every appearance one to be remembered. In order to become a member of the club the student had to pass a satisfactory test in vocal music. Xo officers were elected this year, but Harold Babcock was appointed manager and chair- man of the music committee, which consisted of Mr. Wells, C. Stamm and K. Zimmerman. The club appeared before the public several times, the first ap- pearance being at the Ideal theater, the proceeds of which concert went toward the athletic fund. The “Minstrel,” given “en costume,” by the club, was one of the delightful remembrances of the year. The services of Mr. Akey, a talented musician, were secured to help stage this event. An ex- cellent program which consisted of jokes, solos and choruses by the members of the club, assisted by the Saecker Orchestra, won spirited applause and repeated encores, assuring the appreciation of the audience for the selections rendered. The musical training obtained through continued practice will be of lasting benefit to the members of the club, and the pleasant memories which the members take with them when they bid fare- well to their Alma Mater will be of the happy hours spent in the music room. DEBATE “The victory is not always with the strong” was surely proved when Marshfield met our affirmative team. It was not from any lack of preparation that the decision was given in favor of the negative. It was merely one of those times when fortune turns her wheel, then closes her eyes, letting it stay where it may. This time it stopped at Marshfield. The question, which was, “Resolved, that the policy of fixing a minimum wage by state boards is desirable.” was one which lends itself more easily to the affirmative, as the former won in all three debates, the decision in each case being two to one. Notwithstand- ing this fact, the boys put up a figlit that deserves great praise and commendation. The members of the negative team mot Wausau at that city on the same night that Marshfield debated here. Nothing needs to be said concerning the ability of this team, just look at the opposite page and you have proof of their powers. The best part of this whole question in debate is that those very boys who were active in forensics are for the most part those who have had most prominent parts in athletics, showing that their Pate Thirty Seven brains are trained as well as their bodies. This is what every w'ell organized high school should stand for, and we are proud of the boys who represented us in debate. Then— Here's to the boys of debate, Who spent their time early and late, To work out the proof Which held Wausau aloof. Marshfield almost met the same fate.

They proved the same aggressive team that has met the high school in former years, and it was not until the last quarter that the school team was able to score. STEVENS POINT NORMAL, O; I i. K. H. S., 25 Outweighed twenty pounds to the man, the high school team completely swamped the husky teachers from our neighboring city. The team work exhibited by the home team was the feature of the game: the new men in the line-up worked smoothly with the vet- erans. Only once in the game was the high s goal line threatened, but the strong line held its heavier opponents from scoring. WAU8AI' H. S.. «; i. R. H. S., 2 Wausau, our old rival, was scheduled for the follow ng week. The Wausau team outweighed the locals about ten pounds on the average, but were unable to make first down more than twice in the game. The punting of Bond, the Wausau fullback, kept their goal out of danger. The home team made consistent gains, but the fumbling of the back field men prevented the score from entering the double columns. The two points were made at the end of the first half, Trudell and Hill throwing the Wausau safety over his own line after re- ceiving a punt from Nash. The Wausau seconds were completely outclassed by the Rapids second team, captained by Howard Mullen. They outplayed their heavier opponents and got a score of 13-0. The Wausau game was the last for Harold Babcock, due to his sickness shortly after. Foley was shifted from end to halfback and Doc Ridgman was given the end position. MARSHFIELD, O; G. R. H. S., 52 The strong Marshfield team met defeat at the hands of the home team a week later. Their open work and defensive play could not be stopped by the Marshfield boys. The new jerseys made their initial appearance, and the team showed a decided improvement in looks as well as in playing. MAXAWA, O; G. R. H. S., 75 The dark horse team from Manawa proved easy for the locals. The score shows the relative strength of the two teams. The visitors were entirely baffled at the style of playing they ran up against. The second team played at Nekoosa the morning of the same day, and suffered defeat by Coach Steinfeldt’s athletes. The score was 6-0 in favor of Nekoosa. LA CROSSE, O; Ci. R. H. S., 1) Stevens Point H. S. having cancelled their game with Grand Rapids for that date, La Crosse was given the open date. Coach Carter’s team came upon the field confident of winning, and started out to do so in the first quarter. The home team was kept on the Pag Forty FOOTBALL TEAM defensive for a short time, but they more than held their own and soon had their opponents on the defensive. La Crosse tried two attempts at goal during the first half, but failed to score. I hey were forced to play a punting game, and Myron Hill, catching one of the high ones, ran 40 yards for a touchdown over the east goal. The goal was missed and the half ended with the score of 0-0 in favor of Grand Rapids. Both teams were pretty well used up, but both came back strong in the second half. La Crosse was forced to punt, but the home team soon placed the ball on their twenty-eight yard line from which Neil Nash added three more po nts to the score by a perfect kick from the field. From then on Grand Rapids resorted to defensive game. The visitors were unable to get closer than thirty yards to the goal line. There they tried to score twice by kicking but failed. The game ended with the ball in the middle of the field, and the score 9-0 in favor of Grand Rapids. It was without doubt the greatest game ever played here, and it put the home team in the rank of the state championship teams. NKKOOSA, O; (i. R. H. S., :U During the following week a game was played with the Nekoosa team. With the substitutes filling six positions on the team, 3G points were made in as many minutes. MKKKILL, O; (� . K. H. S., O With three backfield men and two linemen out of the game, and due to the unfavorable weather, the home team battled to a tie with MerrTl. The playing was in the Merrill territory three-quarters of the time and three attempts at goal were made, two of which missed by inches. Both teams were inside the five yard line once but neither was able to score. SPARTA, (SO; ( . K. H. S., 2 After a rest of one week, the final game with Sparta was booked for the 22nd of November. Sparta was the only contestant left for championship honors, and the game would decide the supremacy in the state. Several rooters accompanied the team and subs to Sparta to root for the home team. The day was ideal but a slight rain be- fore had left the field in a slippery condition, to which the home team were unaccustomed. Sparta surprised everyone by making their first score after two minutes of play. The first quarter was a walk away but the home team held their own the second quarter. The well trained machine of Grand Rapids, never having fully re- covered from the injuries received in the La Crosse game, had gone to pieces. The half ended with the score 32-0 against them, with Trudell and Babcock injured badly and out of the game. They wrere replaced by subs the second half, and the team wfent back with the stubborn spirit to do their best. Sparta was forced to punt from time to time but kept increasing their score by open field work. The two points were made in the last five minutes, when Moulton blocked a punt and the ball was downed by Sparta back of their own line. This was the first score ever made against that strong team. Although the final count was large, it does not show the true strength of the two teams. Sparta won from Page Forty Two La Crosse by three points, a team which G. R. beat by nine points. The boys were well treated at Sparta and accepted their defeat at the hands of a better, well trained team n a manner surprising to the Sparta people. The greatest team Grand Rapids has ever had. had met their match, their Waterloo—and the season was ended.

K., � S The home team played its first real game with Wautoma in the Lincoln gym. They proved to be a fairly heavy team and played a fast game, but the high school team outplayed them and won easily. Garthwaite, an old Stevens Point Normal player, starred at center for the visiting team. S. I ., 1 I; G. K. H. S., 4 The first out of town game was played at Stevens Point with the fast teachers’ team. The game started with a dash and t was seventeen minutes before the first field goal was made. The half ended with the score 4-2 against Grand Rapids. The Point team started out to win the second half, and due to their weight and familiarity with the gym, soon ran the score up to 14 points. Bab- cock made the only field goal for the home team, but several long r. ots were narrowly missed. MAKHHPIKI.il, IH; (i. K. H. S., 15 The big game of the season was played with Marshfield the fol- lowing week. They had already defeated Wausau and the game decided the representative at the state tournament from this dis- trict. The visitors played a strong offensive game with four men in a position to score continually. The game was one of the fastest ever seen here and the score was close through the forty minute of playing. Our second team had no difficulty in defeating the second team from Marshfield in a fast preliminary. The score was 13-10. WKYAPWKGA. HO; G. U. H. S., 26 The strong team from Weyauwega played at the local gym the next Friday. They were a formidable team and played a fast game. The home team gained the lead early in the game and the visitors were unable to even up the score before the final whistle. MKIIPOKII H. S., 12; G. K. H. S., 52 The home team met the Medford team in the Lincoln gym the following week. Medford had a star team and were confident of winning as they had the year before. Their star player, Eagen. commenced the scoring by a basket from the center of the floor, and everyone expected a hard fought game. But the high school team soon struck their pace and proceeded to run away with the Medford aggregation. The score tells the rest of the story. ALI MM. 12; G. K. H. S., 4H The Wednesday following the Medford game a game was played with the Alumni team. The game was more for a practice game for the team before playing at Wausau, but it was fast and well played. The high school team had no trouble in winning as the score in- dicates. WAl SAP, 40; G. It. H. S., 2 The last game of the season was played at Wausau with our old rivals from the northern city. The Wausau team displayed an enormous amount of training and consistent practice. Their team Page Forty Five work and shooting was excellent and they well deserved to repre- sent our d strict at the state tournament in place of Marshfield. In spite of the score the game was fast and exciting, but the home team were unable to locate the basket. They report a delightful trip, and were all loud in their praise for the courteous and friendly treatment of the Wausau people. KIMiAli, 14. 15; G. H. H. S. 2NDS, 82, Hi The second team still had two games to play with the Edgar team. This team was heavy and fast, but lacked in training and in shooting baskets. The game at home was an easy victory. At Edgar, the Edgar boys were more of a match for the home team, but they lost in a very fast, exciting game. C LASS TOt RNAMKNT The Sophomores won the class tournament held in school by winning from the other three class teams. The tournament was exciting throughout and the last game deciding second place was bitterly fought to a tie between the Junior and Seniors. The Fresh- men landed fourth place without great effort, but surprised their opponents by their playing spurts at times. The Sophomore team was made up mostly of the second team, and as the first team was barred from the tournament, they had an easy time winning first place. A game was played with the first team the following week, in which the first team won from the class team by a score of S-3C. This game ended the season at Grand Rapids.

It not only provides capital for business enterprises but the lesson applies in many other directions. Once you begin to study the value of every dollar you save, you soon learn to distinguish between Value and Lack of Value in everything else. This bank has always encouraged and solicited the accounts of young people, knowing well that the best time to learn the Saving Lesson is during youth, and furthermore experience has taught us that these accounts started by our young friends continue with us and grow more valuable as years pass.
