H. S., with walls gray and worn. Though we oftimes have thought we’re forsaken by all, And our life seemed so blue from sweet morn till night fall, We all knew we must conquer; with pride we can say We've white-capped every wave that’s blockaded our way. In the still belt of calms our good ship sailed along, And our class has been guarded; by rules, kept from wrong. Now has anchored our ship in the harbor of life, And alone we must battle the huge waves of strife. And the paths that we follow will lead us apart, But the memories of High School will stay in our heart, And the friends in the four years that we have all found, By the same reminiscence will strongly be bound. THE FLAMBEAU History of the Class of 1918 LEILA MEISNEST Four years of our lives have passed since we first entered High School, shy and timid, filled with curiosity of High School life. The first day! Will it ever be forgotten? A feeling that somewhat resembled fear came over us, and we longed to be once more in the familiar Eighth Grade. In our excitement, the announcements of the Principal con- fused us, and we, like other classes, made the usual mistakes of Freshmen. We went tothe wrong recitation rooms, took the wrong seats, and made many other blunders. After a few weeks, however, we grew wiser. Our feeling changed. We overcame our timidity and shyness, lost our verdure, and entered in earnest upon the tasks which lay before us. We steered clear of all reefs and held our course through safer and deeper waters of learning. As Freshmen, we learned to work with a stout heart and resolute will, as is shown by the large representation of our class on the Honor Roll. Our Sophomore year saw us really launched into our High School life with definite aims in mind. We set out to live up to the full meaning of the word “Sophomore” and we did. Even in our second year, we outnumbered the other classes on the Rol] of Honor. It was as Sophomores that we first organized our class and entered into the activities of the school, taking second prize in the Field Day Parade. During this year, as well as in those succeed- ing, great enthusiasm was shown by the members of our class in the cam- paign for anew High School. In athletics, a somewhat neglected branch, we made other classes look elsewhere for laurels. We entered our Junior year fewer in number, but not in importance. As the days and months passed on, we began to feel that the Seniors were not the only class to be looked up to. It was during our Sophomore and Junior years that, as aclass, we thoroughly enjoyed High School life, both for the work and pleasure that was in it. As Seniors, we were very busy. Still we“‘lay not down wearied ’neath Woe’s Weeping Willows,”’ but resolutely performed our Senior tasks. Many of our class, especially the commercial students, spent part of the time in the halls of learning and part in applying their knowledge in practical work. Although there was always sufficient work for us Seniors, still it did not al- ways keep us out of mischief. Members of our class proved to be as good loiterers in the halls and mischief-brewers as those of other classes. When our class entered High School, it had but one hundred and - seventy-five members. We were the smallest class of Freshmen since the establishment of the Central High School. Still we held together remark- ably well, and are honored in being the largest class ever graduating from M. H.S. As aclass, we displayed our loyalty and true patriotism in the readi- ness with which we complied with the great Red Cross and Thrift Stamp THE FLAMBEAU Campaigns. Certainly, our class has done its bit! Above all, during this great crisis, a most remarkable spirit of patriotism and unselfishness has been shown by the girls of ’18 in their vote for uniforms for graduation. We have learned during our High School life, that ‘‘man is lifted from things earthly by two wings, one of which is s¢mplictty.” Bearing this in mind, with hearts filled with love for our country, we found it fitting and proper in this time of war to set this precedent for the classes that are to follow vs. ’ With this last thought of graduation, the History of the Class of ’18 closes. As we launch our ship on life’s great sea, we look back upon our High School years with great interest and shall ever recall them with pleas- ure. As the years roll by, we will think with ever-increasing gratitude of the teachers, principal, and superintendent, who have so faithfully given us train- ing for life’s battles. And as to M. H.S. “‘Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, Our faith triumphant o’er our fears, Are all with thee, are all with thee.” Be An Optimist EMMA WILHELMY ‘‘When you look at a doughnut, don’t look at the hole, For that’s what the pessimists do;” The young man that has passed this witty remark, Said a thing that is surely quite true. When you get sixty-nine for a bookkeeping grade, Don’t grumble and make others blue; But be glad that you got the grade that you did,—for It might have been worse,—sad but true. When in history you suddenly forget (?) your clause, And get a zero for a prize; Just think of the ten that you got the other day, For keeping open your ‘‘weather eyes.” When to tardy room you are assigned to stay, Just think of all you can do; With your lessons all done, oh, won’t it be fun Not to take any books home with you? And above all things,—keep a smile on your face, Aud with you the world will smile; When you look at a doughnut, don’t look at the hole, But look at THE Doughnut a while, THE FLUAMBEAU The Glory of a Uniform FLORENCE GEHBE ‘Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.’’ From the moment a girl enters high school, to her Senior year, her thoughts dwell constantly on the day on whichshe will graduate. Fixed with this thought, is the desire for a beautiful graduation dress, for the two seem inseparable. She has worked for four long years,—she deserves to wear a becoming gown,—she can graduate but once,—a pretty dress shows her indi- viduality,—these are the arguments brought forth by the Class of ’17, which defeated the cause of the uniform. But aside from all these arguments, the true cause of the defeat of the uniform was the inherent love of finery and display possessed by every girl and woman. The girls of the class of 1918 are no different in their love of finery than the classes that have preceded them; but realizing the conditions of today, both at home and abroad,—when sacrifice seems to be the word of the hour,—they ha ve risen superior to all thoughts of self, have stifled every de- sire for display, and have decided to walk out upon the platform on gradua- tion eve, arrayed in simple white uniforms, which each and every one, rich or poor, can afford. The class, in voting for the uniform, voted also for its classmates’ feelings, and for the home purse, and at the same time showed the high ideals which have characterized this class of young girls throughout its career in the high school. In every progressive movement, there must be reformers to see the thing through. The girls of 1918 have established a precedent for those that will follow. Among the girls of 1918 are, perhaps, the youngest that have ever grad- uated from the old M, H. S. They have shown the strength of their charac- ters; they have shown that, although young in years, they are old in wisdom; that they are progressive; and, above all, possess initiative. Initiative! This is the first time in the history of the Manitowoc Cen- tral High that a student body of girls, almost unanimously, has sacrificed out- ward indication of individuality for its reality in their characters. Their. names will go down in the history of Manitowoc County as the first class to break away from established custom and adopt a uniform. Three cheers for the girls of the class of 1918! Faithful Service at School VERA DUENO What is faithful service? Faithful service is the doing of each task with untiring efforts and to the best of one’s ability. Faithful service is just as essential in school work, as it is in the busi- ness world. It is even more essential; because we are building our habits during the time we attend school. If we do our school work faithfully, we will be so in the habit of doing faithful work, that we cannot help but do the same when we leave school. Faithful work in school means the preparing of each daily assignment with utmost care and study. Ifthis is done, the result is inevitably a good mark at the end of the quarter. What does a good mark mean to you? Does it merely mean that you have passed and not “‘flunked’? It should mean more than this. A good mark proves that you can do what you set out to do, and also that you are nota failure. But it is not the lazy, indifferent students who get the good marks; it is the studious, wide-a-wake ones, or those who do faithful service. To which class do you belong?

THE FLAMBEAU Catching A Train BRUNO JACOB It is not uncommon to hear of a person who “‘just caught the train’’. To one not accustomed to this idiom, it, indeed, sounds remarkable. The person, however, means neither that he captured the train—locomotive, tender, baggage-cars, coaches and all; nor that he pursued the moving ob- ject through city and country until human energy out-distanted iron and steel, and the Marathon runner fell upon the quary of his pursuit. No, not at all! All he meansis that he arrived at the station before the train did, or rather before the train left. Formerly I held the same view, but a short time ago a little incident caused me to revise my meaning of this familiar ex pression. One Thursday afternoon a friend and Iwere walking down town, talking about the progress of the work on our Flambeau, when inthe covrse of conversation, it was remarked that onthe following Saturday I was to go to Oshkosh to arrange for the engraving work. My friend, who had an acute knowledge of train schedules, quickly pointed out that, unless I leit Friday afternoon, it would not be possible for me to return on Satur- day. That was a new situation for me. Having a particular desire to be in Manitowoc Saturday evening, I at once determined to leave the following afternoon. But then it would be necessary for me to go to my home in the country, to secure among other things some pieces of that green paper curiously engraved, which I would need for my trip. Theonly time to do this would be at six o'clock, and then return the next morning. This would conflict with my interests for the evening, but, after some reflection, I decided to go. There were a few imperative matters that required attention, and, despite my efforts to expand time, it was a quarter to six before my work was completed. : I hurried tomy room. ‘‘Norris,” Isaid, hastily throwing afew things into my suit case, “I’m going home tonight.” ‘‘What’s the—” ‘Yes! I must goto Oshkosh tomorrow afternoon. Can’t get back Saturday unless I do.” “Well. you’d better do some tall hustling. You've just four minutes to make it.” Still buttoning my coat. I left the house at a fast pace. Instead of the usual route to the depot, I took the most seclusive one convenient, for this would enable me to exert a little more speed. I started to run, but burden- ed with an overcoat and a suit case, it was a laborious task, and at the end of one block, it had quite exhausted me. I walked again, but with paces that must have reminded the other pedestrians that were out-distanced ofa contestant in a walking race. THE FLAMBEAU Suddenly a whistle blew. Six o'clock! Iwas still four blocks from my destination. Often I had waited an hour, two hours, three, and even four hours for that train! HowTI wished that now it would wait only five minutes for me! ' At the next corner a taxi swung into the street, and—to my infinite joy—stopped. I quickened my pace and when yet several feet distant hail ed the driver with a ‘‘Sir’’. He stopped and I continued, ‘Can youtake me to the ‘oo Line depot?”’ ‘Certainly.’ he replied, as he proceeded to crank the car. Thurriedly got in and when the chauffeur took his position, Iasked, ‘Can you get me there in time to catch that six o’clock train?’ “Well I'll try’’, and we were under way. It was only four blocks, but in my estimation, the chauffeur was driving much too slow; although, in the eyes of the law he was, in all pro- bability, driving too fast. At any rate, we made good time; and in less than a minute, we were on the bridge—less than a block from the depot! ‘“There she goes!” the chauffeur called out, slacking up in disgust. I glanced out of the window. By the Eternal! The train was leaving —already a hundred feet from the depot! ‘‘Go ahead!” LI yelled, ‘We’ll make it! We’ve go¢ to!” The chauffeur did not stop to argue, but jerked open the throttle, so that the car fairly bounded forward. Dropping a coin through the window on the driver’s seat, I shouted, “Here’s your money. Now é¢rivealong the trackas faras you can, and give us speed!” By this time the train had gained another hundred feet, and although the driver did as directed, the side of a railroad track is not a speedway, and a high velocity, could not be attained. Knowing that it would be impos- sible for the taxi to gain all of the intervening distance, I opened the door and with one foot on the running board placed myself in readiness to jump and continue the race afoot, the instant any obstruction should interrupt the course of the car. The driver played his part well, and ina short time we were withina hundred feet of the rear car again. Here a switch post made itself ob- structive, and the further course of the taxi was cut short. Before the car stopped, however, I had bounded from it and was off like a runner ina re- lay race where college honors are at stake. I never professed to be arunner or an athlete of any description, tut Iam almost inclined to think that I made as good time as that taxi. I cer- tainly did run. Before I realized it, I had gained eighty feet on the object of my pursuit. But those last twenty feet! I’llnever forget them—they seemed like a mile! For while the trainhada steady acceleration, my THE FLUAMBEAU power was being exhausted; and it seemed as though I was_ running on an endless belt. Yet I kept on. OnceI was strongly tempted todrop out, but my contempt fora quitter and my tenacity held me to it, andI plunged forward again with new effort. Under ordinary conditions I would have declared myself com- pletely exhausted, and no one would have doubted my word. Yet now I somehow commandeered reserve power, and, in spite of the steadily in- creasing rate, dwindled the remaining distance until only a yard separated me from the rear railing of the coach. One leap and my hand clutched the iron rod, and somehow my foot got ona step. It was an insecure position, and an instant later I swung out again. Could I stick? I could feel my grip loosening and my foot slipping and I thought all was lost, but I swayed back again, and was finally able to climb to the rear platform. The train was then crossing the bridge leading to the ship-yard. Had I been a few seconds later, I would have been compelled to turn around and sluwly make my way back to whence I came. Perhaps this sounds much like a yarn to you? Ithink it must. But if you will only ask the unfortunate taxi driver, whom I happened to stop, or the cop I passed at post-haste speed, they will verify the foregoing state- ments and uphold my veracity. Or you may ask any one of the score of working-men I passed, and they will tell you thaton acertain evening, a young man ran up the track like one possessed; or even the brakeman on the train will recount my landing and my exhausted condition as I stumbled into the coach. If ¢hzs be not evidence enough, you must go on for the rest of your days disbelieving my little tale, for I’ll not do it again to show you. How Graduation Effects Some Seniors MANILA LARSON Forever-more, when will I ever be able to get ready? That pesky telephone has rung twenty times inside of an hour, if it has rung once; and I do believe everybody in the neighborhood has called on me this afternoon. Ido just love to have company, but when I’m all anxiety to get into my graduation gown, youmay be sure I am in no mood for entertainment. Well, now the door has closed and it’s time for me to get ready. Hark! There’s mother calling again,---‘‘Jane, the telephone.”—Glory be! Hello— yes, its Lucy,—Sure at 8.15. Meet you? Can’t bedid! You call here fer me at fifteen to eight.—All right—Good-by. Whew! climbing those stairs so often makes me tired! Think I’ll lie downand rest in Dad’s big chair for just five minutes. I’m all ‘“‘insky,’’ and have lost all ambition. Good-bye, five minutes, you surely madea French call. Oh, there’s Lucy. Hello, dears I’m so glad you came early! - Yes, I know I’ma slow s THE FUAMBEAU poke about getting ready, but now yon are here, you can help me. What? Oh, my shoes are in that corner. Aren’t they pretty? My dress is—let me think—Oh, yes, mother hung it ona chair inthe parlor. Get it, there's a dear child, will you? Thanks muchly. Ready at last! Good-bye, everyone, will see you later. : Yes, it’s a grand night and I’m so excited! I think we’ll have to hurry. What an awful wind, and,—oh, my stars! Look, Lucy. I forgot to pin up my hair, and its blowing in every direction with this wind. What can I do? Thank goodness, here’s the 5 and10, andit’s open, too. Here, hold my stuff while I get some pins; then Ican anchor my hair when I get there. Until then—here goes my hair up in my hat. City clock striking eight? Well, we'll get to the hall in time, that is some consolation, after all this worry. Why,—hello, Marion,—wait a min- ute. I’m glad Lucy and I are not the only ones who are slow. We've been waiking so fast and I’m so hot, but thanks be! We’re here at last. The first thing on the program is the dressing of Jane’s hair by Lucy. Of course, lalways £new you'd doit. You’re such a dear! Here goes my coat behind the table,—well, I’ll know where it is now when I come for it anyway. Oh? I hear the music! We must go! Iwon’t even dare to look at myself in the mirror for fear I’ll find something else that needs rearrangement. My, what a sea of faces! How queer my shoes feel. I surely thought they had high heels, and they feel so flat. I’lltake one look—Oh horrors! My white crocheted bedroom slippers! How could it ever have happened? What possessed Lucy to put them on me instead of my other ones? Oh, I never changed them! It’s a blessing they are white; perhaps people won’t notice my feet. What perfect misery I’m in. For the Land of Love, I thought I had a pocket in my dress with my handkerchief in it, and now they have both disappeared! Oh, thatthis march up the aisle wouldend. It seems unbearably long. I must find my handkerchief! I’m as hot as a day in July. Great Caesar's ghost! what is this? No handkerchief—but that old lace doily from my table! It’s worse then ever now. Ican’t possibly sit on the stage with these slippers on and no handkerchief and in the first row, too. How the people stare at me! Yes, I know I look a fright, sir, but you don’t have to shake me like that. I feel like an earthquake. I’m perfectly sane even if my slippers do indicate otherwise.” ‘Well, Jane, what’s all this talking about? Do you realize that it is 7:30 and that you have been sleeping for an hour or more?” “‘Oh, mother, how glad I am that you woke me, before something else horrible happened! Such a dream—Ugh! whata blessing it was only a dream!” THE FUAMBEAU EDNA UEK In a desolate waste ofa city in North France was an American hospi- tal. A young American officer paced to and fro in the halls. Suddenly he stopped and listened as a light quiet step sounded on the stairs. Finally, a Red Cross nurse appeared. ““Captain Ritchie, you're wanted in the office,’’ she said The officer turned and entered the office. To his great surprise and joy, he found Major Gunderson waiting for him. He asked Captain Ritchie to spend the evening with him, in order that they might talk over old times. Major Gunderson had just returned from an extended trip to America, where he had gone to Washington on business. ‘Say, Gunder, how about the Class of ‘18? I haven’t heard about it for a long time,” said Captain Ritchie, as he poked the fire in the huge fire- place, causing the blaze to light up the room. “Oh, I can tell you allabout it. I made that one object of my visit to find out about our schoolmates. ’ “Harry Cherma‘ has become a world-famous cartoonist.’’ “Harold Groth is the most prominent banker in New York.” ‘Edward Schmidt is Professor of Botany at the University of Wis- consin.” “Oh, say, Bud, here’s a joke. Lester Schuetze recently attendeda banquet at the University and when called upon to give a toast, he toasted Kaiser and hoped he would be successful. He was immediately arrested, and it requireda pardon from the Governor to free him.”’ THE FLAMBEAU ‘‘Well, I don’t see the joke.’’ “You don't? The joke is that the students thought he meant Wilhelm II, when he really meant Edward Schmidt.” “That’s good. But, Les, how about the girls?”’ “Oh, I see you’re still interested in girls, eh?

So here’s to a reunion of the biggest and best class that ever graduated from the dear old Manitowoc High School. Three cheers for the Class of ’18.” THE FLAMBEAU Class Song MANILA LARSON It’s the class of 1918 That graduates today; And we’re once again united To sing farewell to thee, Our own dear halls of learning, Our favorite M. H. S.— Whose name will be remembered By this graduating class. But ’ere we part, we’ll journey To memory’s fair land, Where the four long years of High School Have been as one hour spent; The joys of every class room Will e’er remain with us, When we've said farewell to High School, And our friends and classmates there, We'll set forth to taste the pleasures In this large world of ours; For joys now shine as sunbeams On dew at early morn; But like dew they soon will vanish, And all that will remain Are the pleasant thoughts of High School, Which w?2 all will cherish then. FLAMBEAU____ In our halls of education Are found many organizations, Some are big and some are small Of great importance are they all. The Board of Directors has meetings galore; Debating clubs meet ev'ry two weeks in four. The German club gives all its plays by night, Although we all hear, ‘‘save electric light.”’ The History club learns of men so great— Their interesting meetings last really quite late. The Commercial society does various things; The Glee club does no other thing except sing. We hold weekly meetings of our Knitting club And knit for our boys, since we can’t give them grub. The Radio-Electric club studies electricity And find many things which arouse curiosity. The Manztou Staff presents a paper for all And has zealously worked since early last fall. And last, but not least, comes the Flambeau Staff, Look through all these pages and you’ll find their photograph. Manilla Larson. AOYANWOO AO UAAWVHO MOINNL SUOLOAYIG AO Guvod THE FLAMBEAU The Junior Chamber of Commerce BRUNO JACOB This organization, the most vital of all in the High School, has closed the first chapter of its career with distinct success. Its organization is simple. By virtue of enrolJment every student is a member, sharing the burden of support as well as enjoying the benefits it provides. The legislative department, the Board of Directors, consists of six students elected bv ballot from each of the four classes. These Directors elect their own officers and proceed as an organization. Except in the case of amendments to the Constitution ora referendum, which are submitted to the students, that body exercises exclusive power. The ad- ministrative work is carried on through committees supervised by the President. This was the first year of actual work, and some time was required for perfecting the organization. ‘fo finance the work, the Board of Direct- ors early imposed a five-cent assessment upon all members. To the great credit of the students, it can be proudly said that zot one failed to con- tribute, Some of the many things which the Junior Chamber of Commerce has done during its first year’s work, may be briefly enumerated: Under its direction a handsome service flag for the High School was made by the Domestic Science department. Over seventy stars are on the field, each representing a member of the Alumni who is now with the American forces in camp or “Over There,” A gold star represents the first offering Manitowoc County made for the cause of democracy in the present struggle when it gave one of her sons, a graduate of our High School—J. Guy Drews. Pencil sharpeners were provided for the convenience of the students, The extensive use to which they are subjected, indicates the service they are rendering. To assist in a small way the cause of the nation, the Junior Chamber of Commerce took up the work of selling Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps. No effort was made to canvass the students; they bought freely of their own volition, purchasing in three months over five hundred dollars worth of stamps. Through utter lack of an opportunity to practice, the High School had no basket-ball team in the field this year, but to keep the athletic spirit alive, this organization promoted inter-class games which were attended and enjoyed quite as largely as a rea game. For the accomodation of the boys, and our ‘‘militia’’ especially, shoe brushes were provided. All that remains to be furnished now is polish and a bootblack. The purchase of the former was suggested, but the latter is left untouched for our successors to provide. ; When ninety of our boys signed the “Earn and Give” pledges for the Y. M. CA., the Junior Chamber of Commerce established an employment bureau to furnish work for the unemployed boys to enable them to earn the pledged amount. Although the members of the Bureau made an earn- est endeavor tc fulfill their mission, they were able to secure employment for only a few boys. Perhaps the greatest service which this organization has performed for the students is the estabiishment of the Postal System in the High School. Mail boxes were placed on each floor for receivin g communica- tions. At 8:45, 11:45, 1:20 and 3:40 the collection takes place, and the mail is distributed in the various assembly rooms immediately thereafter. En- velopes of convenient size are secured by the Chamber and resuld to the students at cost. Only these are accepted for delivery. Asa means of identification, each envelope is stamped with a number, which number to- gether with the name of the purchaser, isrecorded. At first the privelege of using this system of communication was limited to the faculty and offic- ers of our organizations. On St. Valentines day all students were allowed to send those little messages of fricndship through the mail—and the post- al clerks will tell you that they did. The manner in which this privelege was used convinced the head of the Postal Department and the Board of Directors that the students had a sense of fairness;so shortly thereafter, all students were permitted tosend mail. Most of the mail sent is ofa business nature; correspondence between officers of an organization and its members and committees. The faculty has found it a convenient method of transmiting messages to their students whenever necessary. The great factor this system has become in our school is hardly recognized. To those who have had the greatest occasion to use the mail it seems inconceivable that it was not inaugurated longago. To conceive the extent of its use, it wili only be necessary to say that in seven months, seven thousand letters were delivered. This isa system of which we can be justly proud. Not only is it successful, but to the knowledge of an eminent state school official, who visited here some time ago, it is the first of its kind in the state. The Junior Chamber of Commerce has not done all that might have been done—it has left something for those who take up the work next year. In the above named case, however, this Board of Directors has madea movement that is pioneer in the state, and perhaps, but let us whisper it until we are sure, its equal does not exist. Above all, it has been demonstrated that a representative organization of the students can take the initiative and accomplish great good for their school, The High School Bazaar FLORENCE GEHBE Not being content with the sum of money already acquired by the donations of the M. H.S. pupils to help Uncle Sam, the girls of the High School decided to hold a bazaar, the proceeds of which were to go to the Red Cross. With Mrs. Martin and Orlean Georgenson as general manag- ers, success was already assured. M. H. S. students rallied loyally; the girls donating sewed articles of every description; the boys, food stuffs. The K. C. rooms were rented for two days, and were appropriately decorated. The decoration of each booth showed the remarkable individu- ality and artistic tendencies of the Bazaar Committee. The tea garden with its pretty Japenese maidens was, perhaps, most popular among the high school boys. Special features of particular interest were: the side show, (an in- vention of our ingenious Mr. Bleyer), the fortune teller, and the dancing booth, not omitting the booth where ‘‘waffles” were served. The advertising scheme was especially unique. Members of the Bazaar Committee enjoyed “‘joy rides” through tbe city, while yelling, “Come to the Bazaar, K. C. Rooms.” Margaret Alter acted as official yeller. The proceeds of the Bazaar were extremely gratifying. The sum of $284.57 was turned over to the Red Cross. ALAIOOS DNILVEAd 'TIOOHOS HDIH DOMOLINVA The Manitowoc High School Debating Society The Manitowoc High School Debating Society is an organization com- posed of about thirty-five boys, who meet once every two weeks for the purpose of debating. All of the important questiots relating to present titnes are debated. This is not only helpful to the debater in tne practise of debating, but it points out to him the good and bad points of present questions. Many fine debates have been held this Jast year, and next year, we hope to keep up the same record. It isouraim to form a triangular debating league next year for the purpose of holding intercollegiate debatcs. Here’s hoping that we succeed. The officers for 1917—1918 were: First SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER President - bruno Jacob Bruno Jacob Vice-President - Harry Chermak Norris Johnston Secretary - Arthur Reinken Arthur Reinken Treasurer - - Reuben Spoentgen Roland Suckow Censor - - Alfred Just Fintan Clark BRUNO JACOB ARTHUR REINKEN DARWIN PITZ Leader First Speaker Second Speaker Manitowoc—Two Rivers Debate HAROLD GROTH On February twenty-first, the Manitowoc High School Debating Soci- ety challenged the Two Rivers High School toa debate. Two Rivers ac- cepted the challenge. Manitowoc submitted the question, ‘‘Resolved, That the Federal government should own and operate the railroads. It is to be understood _ that present war conditions shall not be considered.” Two Rivers chose the affirmative side, and asked to debate at Manitowoc. A try-out for this debate was held at the next meeting of the Debating Society, and Bruno Jacob, Darwin Pitz, Arthur Reinken, with Harold Groth as alternate, were chosen to represent the society. The debate was held in the High School on the evening of April fifth. The Two Rivers team was accompanied bya lively crowd of rooters, which, added to the local audience, filled the assembly to capacity. Great enthusi- asm was shown as each speaker took the floor, and it was merited, for all the debaters had their subject well prepared, and all the speeches were delivered with pep. Two Rivers had three good men on the floor, each exhibiting powerful delivery, backed by confidence and enthusiasm. Our boys were also ready for the occasion. Arthur Reinken opened for the negative, and in his calm, deliberate way made an acute analysis of the question. His admissions excluded the irrelevent matter and arguments of minor importance. In the four questions which he challenged the affirmative to answer, he brought out the vital issues THE FLAMBEAU so clearly that he truly opened the way for a Manitowoc victory. Darwin Pitz, with his snappy, rapid fire action established his argu- ments on such rock foundation that they were never shaken. The Sopho- more class can certainly be proud of their debater. Bruno Jacob, the leader of the negative, closed the debate for that side, and in his convincing way established the failure of the proposition in foreign countries. Victory for our team was assured when he placed the essentials of the question in clear relief, and contrasted them with the con- tentions of the affirmative. Then with clear convincing logic he exposed the failure of the affirmative team to uphold any of the contested points. , In delivery the Two Rivers boys scored a victory over Manitowoc, but in analysis of the question and in the rebuttal, which was purely extempor- aneous, they fell short. Mr. P. G. W. Keller of Appleton, Mr. J. E. Heffernan of Brillion, and Mr. W. T. Ream of Green Bay acted as judges. Their decision was announc- ed by Mr. E. R. Ellian, Principal of the Junior High School, who acted as chairman for the debate. It was in favor of the negative. A great cheer arose from the audience and both teams were cheered by their apponents. Victory for our team was due not to superior ability, but rather to per- sistant efforts and hard work. The debaters made a thorough, systematic study of the question, and analysized it so acutely, that throughout the en- tire debate they never argued or refuted any point unless it was directly asso- ciated with the vital issues. | This was undoubtedly the greatest factor in determining the result. They worked in close cooperation, and asa result, their arguments were timely interrelated, but yet clearly set forth and all converging on the central issues. Although the leader of the team, will not be with us next year, the school is fortunate in retaining two of its champions to meet Two Rivers again, for it is expected that they will challenge us fcr another debate. Webster Debating Society EDNA RISCH Although the above named organization retained its old name, this year it has not adhered strictly to debating. At the beginning of the school year, the members, of whom there are about twenty-five, decided not only to de- bate at the programs, but also to gain information regarding some of our great American men. This aim they have carried out successfully. The officers for the year were: First SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER President - Mildred Lenz Edna Risch Vice-President - Manilla Larson Marie Madson Sec. Treas. - Bernadyne Frosch ‘Hildegarde Nelson Censor - - Edna Risch ; Lorina Lorfeld The German Club ESTHER SCHREIHART One of the societies that has been organized within the last few years isthe German Club. It started last year with only a small membership, which has more than doubled this year. It consists of members of the sec- ond, third, and fourth year German classes, and is supervised by Miss Rud- dock. She has done much to make it interesting and helpful to the members. The meetings are held every two weeks on Thursday evenings. A regular program is carried out, business matters are discussed, and games are played. No English is spoken at our programs. On December twentieth, the regular meeting was held in the Main Assembly, and people outside of the club were invited. A very interesting play, tableau, and other selections were given. A puppet play, and several other plays were given during the year. On February eighth, the Club enjoyed a sleigh ride party to the home of one of the members, who lives near Silver I]-ake. The meetings are well attended and are enjoyed by all. The officers for the year are as follows: First SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER President - Florence Gehbe Esther Schreihart Vice-President - Esther Schreihart Luella Nienaber Secretary - Mildred Wimmler Bruno Jacob HISTORY CLUB THE FUAMBEAU Ilistory Club The History club has thirty members this year. Last year the enroll ment was fifteen. The work accomplished was very good. The members drew up aconstitution of the club which wasadopted. The officers elected for the first semester were: President - - - - Bruno Jacob Vice-President - - - Mildred Lenz Secretary Treasurer - - Manila Larson A program committee was appointed by the president to select the programs for the meetings which were held every two weeks. The following were on the committee: Vera Dueno Orlean Georgenson Marjorie Stephenson On Washington's Birthday, the club gave a play entitled. ‘‘Boston Tea Party’’, at the High School. A large number of the students attended the play. ‘The following officers were elected for the new semester: President - - - Claribel Aslaskson Vice-President - - - Edna Risch Secretary Treasurer - Orlean Georgenson Only two members were put on the program committee: Leona Brennan Elila Rose The club owes its success to Miss Harrington, the honory member of the club. She was ready to advise the members whenever any difficulty arose, and they are extremely grateful to her, The club hopes that the Seniors next year will get as much pleasure and benefit from the ‘‘History Club,”’ as the Seniors of this year. COMMERCIAL CLUB THE FLUAMBEAU The Commercial Club EMMA WILHELMY The Senior and Junior Commercial Clubs were combined at the begin- ning of the year, and it was also decided to admit Sophomores. Therefore, the club, now called The Commercial Club, has the large membership of seventy students. The officers elected for the first semester were: President - - - Vera Dueno Vice-President - - - Joseph Niedercorn Secretary Treasurer - Richard Klingholz Sergeant-at-Arms - - - Arthur Ritchie Meetings were held every three weeks, the programs consisting of musical selections, talks by prominent business men, debates, current topics, and other subjects of interest. The officers elected for the second semester were: President - - - Emma Wilhelmy Vice-President - - - Mary Meyer Secretary Treasurer - Edna Uek Sergeant-at-Arms - - - Lewis Phillips On April nineteenth, the Commercial Club gave a social at Wood’s Hall. All boys belonging to the Military Organization were invited, and also the faculty. Games were played, music provided for dancing, and refresh- ments were served. A good time was reported by all present. Much credit is due Mr. Curtis, Miss Wallschlaeger, and Miss Wochos, for their kindly advice. We hope that the club next year will be as success- ful and beneficial as it has been this year. aNTo adID STYID FLAMBEAU Hae. The Girls’ Glee Club The Girls’ Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Johnson, is composed of fifty members. The Club has been very active during the past year. Besides the regular work, the girls have devoted much time to learning patriotic songs, and have appeared in several patriotic programs. The Glee Club sang at several school programs, and at Parent-Teach- ers’ Meetings also. No entertaining, however, was done by the Club as in previous years. The officers are: President - = - - Grace Pflueger Secretary Treasurer - - Loretta Dusold Junior High School Girls’ Glee Club TERESA TADYCH, ’21 A Girls’ Glee Club was organized at the Junior High School at the beginning of the school year, under the direction of Miss Johnson. There are about thirty members. The girls are divided into groups, that is, ac- cording to what they sing. Some girls sing soprano, or second soprano, and others sing alto. Only two officers were elected, as Miss Johnson thought this would be all that were necessary. They are: President - - - Caroline Platt Secretary Treasurer - - Teresa Tadych The Glee Club consists of Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Grade girls. The girls have worked very hard during the year, and have shown their good work by their appearance at various programs They sang at several patriotic meetings and smal] programs that were given at the J. H.S. They also sang at the Washington High school at acontest. Thisis only a begin- ning in singing for the girls, but they hope it will be carried on throughout the High School life. The Trailers GRACE STUEBER, ’21 The Trailers club of the J. H. S. is under the direction of Miss Hofsoos, and consists of about thirty members. This club was reorganized last Octo- ber with the object of increasing interest in outdoor life. Since that time, several parties have been given by the members which were much enjoyed by all. April first, a hike to Two Rivers was taken by members unaccustomed to doing such things. Not much outdoor exercise or sports were carried on by the club this winter, because of the unsuitable weather. One peculiarity of this club is that officers are elected every ten weeks. This enables each member to gain experience in office holding, which will come useful in their later life. P This club will be carried on throughout the High School life by the members. WEDNESDAY SECTION THE FLAMBEAU ‘The Gils’ Kuttting Club CLARIBEL ASLAKSON In the early part of the second semester, Miss Brittell and Miss Lieb- mann organized a Girls’ Knitting Club, the aim of which was to knit for the Red Cross., The club has an enrollment of about one huudred and twenty-five girls Owing to the fact that the number was so large, the club was diviued into two sections, the meetings being held on Monday and Wednesday nights. Much work has been turned in, and the girls are still knitting. The officers elected are as follows: President - Claribel Astakson Vice-President - Dolores Joyce Monday § Secretary - - Emma Wilhelmy Section | lreasurer - - Lucille Kathsack Wednesday J Secretary - - Hildegard Johnson Section | lreasurer - - Lorraine Wattawa Faculty Miss Brittell Advisors ( Miss Liebmann The Radio-Electro Club The Radio-Electro Club began its work at the beginninglof the first semester.

There are fifty-four mem- bers in the company at present. The purpose of this organization is to give the high school students a start in training, which may later be necessary. Besides this, the drill makes one straighten up, and trains one’s mind. The company has done good work, and has learned, almost perfectly, the marchings and the manual of arms. The company when organized met at the school at 8:00 o'clock and drilled until about 8:40 o’clock. On rainy days the company met inside and the instructor explained marchings by dia- grams. ‘Then, quite late in the Fall, the company made rifles. They were finished, and then the company took them to the armory and learned the manual of arms. They drilled in the armory all winter. The company has taken part in several parades this year; namely, the time the drafted men left, April sixth, and others, and, by so doing, has made a good impression. Promotions were made from time totime. The officers of the com- pany now are: Jos. Nemitz - - Instructor Captain Leslie Gunderson - 1st.

Crack foot-ball, basket-ball, and base-ball teams were turned out, while the track teams always made a good showing in Inter- School Tourneys. School teams have been suffering a slow. but sure, death. “Two years ago, we had basket-ball and foot-ball teams. This year we have none. Let the pupils wake up and once more put the Manitowoc High School on the athletic map of the state where it belongs: -in First Place. Football Nov. 3°, 1916. This date marks the end of a Manituwoc High School football team. Last November, when the call was sent out for players, only a hand- ful, ten or eleven enthusiastic boys, responded. Many of the boys, who would have made good on the team, were working, and, seeing the impossi- bility of putting out a team, attention was turned to basket-ball. Basketball Basket-ball was handicapped this year, as it was in the past; and, perhaps, it wes even more so. ‘This year, we could not, in the early part of the season, outain axy hall in thecity for practice. Basket-ball seemed as if it were doome d to suffer the same fate that had befallen football; but finally, after about two month’s delay, it was de- cided to stagea series of Inter-Class games. The Orpheum was procured at last, and the tirst games played January eigtheenth, WVa4L TIVE LANSVa THE FLAMBEAU Freshman-Sophomore Game The Freshmen and Sophomores had the honor of playing the first game, which was, by the way, a preliminary for the real game of the eyen- ing—the Junior-Senior Game. Possibly the Freshies were a little stage struck; but, after a forty minute struggle, the Freshies gave in, beaten 17—3. Junior-Senior Game Those members of the Junior class whoattended the game, sat proud and confident thatan easy victory was theirs. Perhaps they had reisons for so thinking. |The Juniors had the advantages of height and weight; so a snzppy game was expected. However, the Juniors learned the lesson not to seek the “scalp” of their superiors, Senior sagacity and team-work outweighed the advantages of height and weight, and the Juniors were overwhelmed by a score of S10, A dance followed the game, and all present enjoyed a good time, Two weeks later on February first, a second series of games was Staged at the Orpheum. The Juniors and Freshmen were pitted against each other, while the Sophomores cast their lot with the Seniors. Freshman-Junior Game The Juniors disdained playing the Freshies by using only four men, but in so doing, they almost lost the game. When time was up, the score was 10—10. The Juniors won 12—10, in playing overtime. Sophmore-Senior Game The Sophomore-Senior game proved to be very one-sided. Senior skill in shooting and team-work proved too much for the haughty Soph, and the Seniors won 44—14. As usual, a dance foilowed the game. The Series being over, the teams show the following percentages: Standings of the Class Teams Games Played Won Lost Percentage Seniors 2 2 0 1.000 Juniors 2 1 1 -500 Sophomores 2 1 1 .500 Freshmen 2 0 2 .000 The Senior team, victor of the tourney, is composed of Trochlell, Nielsen, Scheurell, Clark, and Kulnick, with Suckow and Peterson as subs. THE FLUAMBEAU Valders 30 Seniors 12 On Friday, Feb. 15, the Senior team journeyed to Valders, to play the Northsmen. The Valders team proved to be too much for the Seniors, and the latter were defeated 30—12, The game was clean and snappy, although the score indicates otherwise. Weight, practice, and familiarity with the hall accounted for the Valders’ victory. _Suckow took the place of Scheurell, a regular forward, who was unable to play. The J. H. S. Basket-Ball Team The boys of the Junior High School became interested in athletics, and, as a result, the Junior High School Basket-ball team was organized. William Johnson was elected captain and Elmer Cegielski, manager. The line up is as follows: William Johnson - - - Center Elmer Cegielski - - - Right Forward Harry Houghton - - - Left Forward Harvey Stangel - - - Right Guard Robert Nyhagen - - - Left Guard Our first game was played with the Sophomores, but, due to the lack of practice, we were defeated, 18 to3. Our next game was played with the Juniors, and here we showed some improvement, but still we were defeated, 14to13. Our defeats were due to the new players. We had astrong line up and won five out of seven games. Green Bay and De Pere challengedustoa game. We accepted the challenge under certain conditions, but we never got an answer to our letter; so they must have been afraid to accept. Madison High Baseball Line-up as.Seen by a Sub-Fielder: C. G. MeGLYN, ’21 1. Apretty good team! 2. The catchers, um—er, I forgot,— Oh yes, the catchers, Harvey Stangel and Roy Pilger, are pretty good at missing. 3. The pitcher, a human clockspring,—Charles McGlynn, hits the bat for the batter every time he doesn’t miss it. 4, First baseman, Billy, can hit the wind harder than the ball. 5. Second baseman, Elmer Cegeilski, can catch girls better than base- balls. 6. Third baseman, Harry Houghton, is right there with the goods, only the bat seems to be too thin, THE FLAMBEAU 7. Short stop, Robert Nyhagen,—a most remarkable short stop if the ball falls in his mit. 8. Left fielder, Otto Reif, is surely an (otto) (auto) when it comes to catching flys. , 9. Right fielder, Arthur Ahlswede, a pretty good batter, but there seems to bea hole in the bat. 10. Center fielder, Meyer Schwartz, is some batter, all-right! ! The line-up of the J. H. S. base-ball team is as follows: Roy Pilger ‘ Fries Sie 7 7 Catenens Charles McGlynn - - - Pitcher William Johnson - - - - 1st Base Elmer Cegeilski - - - 2nd Base Harry Houghton - - - - 8rd Base Robert Nyhagen - - - Short stop Otto Reif - - - - Left field William Kubista - - - Right field Meyer Schwartz - - - - Center field” The J. H. S. Baseball team played one inter-class game with the Sen- iors, and,—owing to the lack of support, lost by a score of 18 to 5. The players were then told to get into the game and show what they could do, but they didn’t do very much on account of the short time left. This did not take the spirit out of our team, and the players are still in the battle to fight till the end, The Students’ Court HARVEY STANGEL, ’21 The Students’ Court is a law-making organization and has representa tives from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. They are: Faculty Member - - - Mr. Ellian Chief Justice - - - Harvey Stangel | Nil Muth Ninth Grade - - = Mildred Schuette Isabel Morris Eighth Grade - - Margaret Sommers Ruth Hougen { Paul Schuette 1 Virginia Rogers | William Kuebke Seventh Grade - - - The object and duty of this organization is to make laws which will better the school, and to hold court sessions to punish or dismiss students do who not conduct themselves properly. This court has complete control over the school, in making laws and inflicting punishments upon pupils who, as said before, do not conduct them- selves properly. It has also control of the Fire Brigade. In all respects the court has done, and will continue to do, its duty. This court conducts itself as any other Municipal Court would. The members benefit by the Parliamentary practise they get during court sessions or meetings. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL FIRE BRIGADE Junior High School Military Company WALTER PETERS, ’21 Company Two of the Junior High School consists of twenty-seven boys from the ninth grade, nine from the eighth, and two from the seventh. The Company was organized about the first of March. Drill hours are from eight to eight-thirty on Monday and Tuesday of each week. The guns are being made in the Manual Training shop under the direc- tion of Mr. Rumsey. We “‘fallin” at the school and march to a vacant lot on North Seventh Street, where Mr. Nemitz puts us through the different movements. Company Two hopes to do as well at the Field Meet, as Company One did on April sixth. After the squad and platoon movements have been learned, officers will be appointed. THE FLAMBEAU We Win War Saving Socieiy The preliminary organization of the We Win War Saving Society was held on the twenty-second day of March, 1918, at the Madison School. The following officers were elected: President - - - Paul Schuette Secretary - - - - Reginald Worel The amount of money collected was thirty-six dollars and fifty cents. There are twenty-eight members in this society. Articles Made for Red Cross and Soldiers by Junior High School LILLIAN DEDRICKS, ’21, GRACE STUEBER, ’21 The Junior High School has not only taken an active part in buying Bonds, War Savings Stamps, and Thrift Stamps, but it has also made many articles for the Red Cross Society. The total number, which is three hundred fifty seven articles, includes sweaters, socks, wristlets, helmets, scarfs, band- ages, pillow-slips, service bags, bed sheets, bonnets, and blouses. Incidently we would like to mention that the Junior High School has bought Stamps and Bonds to the amount of six thousand and ninety-three dollars. The Ninth Grade Junior High School W. S. Society MARK H. MUTH, ’21 The Ninth Grade Junior High School War Saving Society was organ- ized April first, 1918. Officers: President - - - - Mark Muth Secretary - - - - Anna Kellner’ This society, which has succeeded in proving itself one hundred per- cent loyal to the War Saving pledge, consists of one hundred and four ninth grade students. Application has already been made for membership in the National Organization. During the short time this society has been in existence, it has served its mission in teaching the students thrift.

F. in England March 17, 1918, England; Dear Father: Well, we have arrived safeand sound. We are somewhere in Eng- land now; I don’t know where it is myself. The country is very pretty, but the people don’t agree with me. They seem tothink that we are wild men, just out of the woods. They are about 40 years behind times. Every- thing isso old-fashioned. The Englishmen call us ‘‘bloody bloomin’ Yanks.’ If one American had a fight with a dozen Englishmen, I would bet on the American. On the trip over here, a sulmarine tried to get us, but we saw her first, and three shots from our ship finished her, I didn’t see the fun, but some of the sailors and our officers told usabout it, so I suppose its true. I heard several shots but didn’t kaow what they were for. I felt fine all the time, How is everybody at home? Is it getting warm now? Here the grass is green. We don’t do anything but eat and sleep here, but I think we will stay here only a few days. I haven’t anymore to say. What might be worth saying, Iam not al- lowed to tell. Be sure to write soon.

A voice was heard in the cloakroom, Reciting in eloquent style, A passage I could not distinguish, But it seemed to be very worth while. Then all of a sudden, a silence, And after a very short pause, She rushed from out the cloakroom And joyously ran down the hall, With a voice of sheer happiness told me “‘T have learned my ast history clause.” ‘‘Want to buy a button?” ‘I’m selling myself!’’ ‘How much do you want for yourself?” The rose is red, The violet is blue, I never come late, Do you? IT FLOATS. ‘Twas off the coast of Switzerland, On the good ship Canteloupe; We struck a reef, and sprung a leak, With a load of Ivory soap. We must have been 10 miles from shore, Some say it was 14o0r more, But gaining hope, we grabbed the soap, And washed ourselves ashore.—Ex.

APPLIED MATHEMATICS I sometimes wonder what’s the use Of squaring the hypotenuse, Or why, unless it be to tease, Things must be called isosceles? Of course I know that mathematics Are mental stunts and acrobatics To give the brain a drill gymnastic, And make grey matter more elastic, Is that why Euclid has employed Trapezium and trapezoid I wonder?—Yet it seems to me That all the plane geometry One needs, is just the simple feat— What’er your line, make both ends meets. Ex. DOMESTIC PROBLEMS Should you always come to breakfast, When you hear the napkin ring? If you let the pepper box, then should You let the sugar-bowl? Why do you always let the teapot stand And strainer eyes to see the finger-rol!? Fresh (to Red) ‘Your head’s on fire.” B. D.: ‘‘Never mind; you ’re so green you wouldn’t catch anyway.” “POME”’ BY L. M. Aw, what’s the use a’ livin’ When you gotta stay home from school Account of some old measles That come to pick on you? Aw, what’s the use a’ livin’ When your ma sends you off to bed. And won’t let you eat candy ‘Cause that’d make you dead? Aw, what’s that use a’ livin’ When your're far from your dear old friends, But there’s some use a livin’ When—?—a letter sends. Teacher: ‘Your answer is as clear as mud.” Pupil: ‘‘Well, that covers the ground, doesn’t it?” The beginning of a Freshman theme: ‘‘Mrs. Brown decided to con- verse on sugar.’’ There is a maiden named Florence, Who lives with little hope, .

THE TREE TOADS A tree toad loved a she toad That lived up in a tree; She was a 8-toed tree toad, But a 2-toed toad was he. The 2-toed tree toad tried to win The she toad’s friendly nod; For the 2-toed tree toad loved the ground That the 3-toed tree toad trod. But vainly the 2-toed tree toad tried, He couldn’t please her whim; In her tree toad bower, With her V-toe power, The she toad vetoed him. Ex. Mrs. M.: ‘‘Beatriceand Margaret, would you move that table for me?” Girls proceeding— Mrs. M.: ‘‘No. Look out, girls, you’re liable to lose a leg.” Fresh. ‘‘I hear they’re going to have a municipal piggery.” Soph: ‘‘Are you going to join?” HEARD IN PHYSICS Mr. M.: ‘‘What isasimple cell?” Bright Senior: ‘‘The brain cell.” The rose is red, The violet blue, I row a boat Can- —- —ovu?

WE offer high school graduates the op- portunity to enter a large, progress- ive, growing business--where the future of the individual depends entirely upon his power to make good.
