History of the Senior Class By Bertha Weisberg '18 and Evelyn Chapman '18 N the fall of 1914. over one hundred of us entered High School as Freshmen, not as greenhorns, however, because we had profited by our experience in the eighth grade. The first thing of great importance was the chosing of class officers. Paul Arpin received the majority of votes for president Roy Normington for vice-president. Stuart Karseboom for secretary, and Frank Reiland for treasurer. These officers, like all of our officers since then, proved themselves worthy of their offices. One day we had a class meeting and were made happy by the announcement of a Freshman class party to which we were to invite our parents. I he party was given February 6th. after a basketball game between the Freshmen B. A The party was a great success in spiteof the ample chaperon age and it s a question as to whether we Freshies or the chaperons enjoyed themselves most. i i r f| »d a R°°d representation in the athletic field: in fact. Coach Brown made us feel quite proud by telling us that we had a very promising bunch of athletes. Crauncy Millenbah and Aynard Soley both did commendable work on the football team. The only time our silver cloud turned inside put was at the death of our star athlete and dear classmate. Chauncey Millenbah The Wisconsin river claimed Chauncev's life, but his memory will alwavs live with the class of 18. Our boys won second place in the class tournament, only losing first place by letting the Seniors beat them in the final game Who says now that rreshmen don t respect the Seniors The second semester we bought a picture for Miss GaskeU'a room, now Miss Rost’s as a little memento from the hreshics. After a very pleasant vacation we came back to take possession of the Sophomore seats. We were immediately nick named conceited Sophs Our Sophomore party was even a greater success than our Freshman party had been. It was also given after a basket ball game. Shortly after, the Domestic Science girls entertained the facultv at a sleighing party and Myrtle Graham with her usual generosity took them to her home on the farm and satuhed their appetites. This year our boys again won second place in the class tournament, stepping down only in favor of the Seniors. February 2 th wai a red letter day for the whole school. All day the different classes were busy putting up booths, one class trying to outdo the other In the evening we became competitors of the Lowney Candy Company in the sale of home made candy. Our booth was decorated in orange and black, our class colors, and everybody raid our booth was the prettiest. We sold every piece of candy we possessed, even the crumbs, before the game began. After an interesting game doubly so. because we had won. we adjourned to the music room where we celebrated in a party and dance i a W i °P on,orc R,rj who had formed a Hiking Club.were overcome by Spring fever one beautiful afternoon.and hiked to Nekoosa on French ftv.e , ; hey were tried by a Court Marshal the next day. and sentenced to the detention room prison) every day after school until thev had made up double the time they had lost, and the Hiking Club came to a grand firale. Our Sophomore year was perhaps the happiest year of all. but we looked forward anxiously to our Junior year. It came by leaps and bounds and before we realized it. we were Juniors. We could feel the difference in the attitude of the Seniors almost from the • . , y, , nd ,we cVn? ,0 7 5 conclusion that they were beginning to respect their successors. But perhaps it was only due to the fact that most of the girls had lengthened their skirts and discarded their hair ribbons, and the boys had donned long trousers. This year some of our boys made the regular basket ball and football teams. The basket ball team only won third place in the tournament at Ap- pleton. but this by no means made us lose our faith in the boys. The Junior Class play. The Bloasoming of Mary Ann. was a raving success. The initiation of the Junior girls into the Owl Literary Society was indeed humiliating. We caused a sensation and created immense amusement one afternoon by coming to school with our hair in pigtails a braid for each year our shoes on the wrong foot Ouch' and our persons bedecked with the Senior class colors. After a still harder and more humiliating initiation in the music room, we became full fledged Owls. We resolved however that such initiations were going to end with the class of 1917. and if you think we haven't kept our word, ask the Juniors. The masquerade given by the Owls, partly made up for our initiation, and we had a very good time in spite of the fact that some Fresh boys ran on with most of our ice cream. I forgot to mention that Lawrence Jones and Edward Ehlert represented us on the debating team. All play and no work make» Jack a dull boy. and the Juniors stood by this maxim by working ambitiously. , . Y' -r’ou» hf rt5- yet ? r- «.P ! into row We were Seniors, so of course we had to'set an example for the younger students and 1 think we bore this in mind throughout the year. 1281
