Ever progressive, Menasha founded one of the first schools in the state. Its faculty of two and a handful of students grew with such rapidity that a larger building was necessary. So, 64 years ago, M.H.S. was established, with its dirty kerosene lamps and enormous wood stove. Then came 1896 and Menasha's pride and joy, the great brick structure which was to honor thirty- nine graduating classes before being reduced to ashes by the fire of March 21, 1936. For almost two years, classes were held cafeteria style. In january 1938, a thankful student body moved into this beautiful, modern building. Pioneering is noble-and very productive. up Q... fi. it ,rf 1 uarfwrt . 'gf n seei- li THE NICOLET OF 1939 Mr. F. B. Younger, J'6t'?'6ld7'j'.' Mr. E. F. Dornbrook. Mr. R. M.

This past year, the board has been especially concerned with those arising about the new school. There are remedies needed, new equipment to be installed, the making and accepting of plans for the landscaping and the development of the field back of the school, which will be used in giving Menasha High one of the most complete athletic pro- grams in the state. We students feel that our board has attacked these problems with remarkable courage and deliberation which is necessary when so much is at stake.

It's the new University Freshman Extension course introduced and sponsored by the board of vo- cational and adult education. This recent achievement is another verification of the board's keen interest in further- ing vocational education. an interest, which has made it one of the most cooperative and progressive organizations in the city. Through its ehforts, students may take English, German, geography, science, and math under university instructors, and receive freshman credits, transferable to most any institution of higher learning.

Would a biology student? No! But, who cares, you will never see one unless you have a microscope. But ask him, What makes the human body tick? A detailed explanation of observations through powerful microscopes, school movies, and the results of experiments made perfect by the use of delicate scientific instruments and the excel- lent guidance of Mr. Wienbergen, would show you that biology is rapidly becoming an ap' plied science. ADVANCED MATH Our advanced math class is very small this year, as in other years, because so few students realize that without advanced math all fields of endeavor, except journalism, dramatics, ministry, teaching, and arts, are closed to them. In this class we work along as best We can by ourselves, although, Miss Wtilker, instruc- tor in mathematics, takes time out from an- other class to help us when we strike a snag. Composed of advanced math and trigonome- try, this course acts as partial preparation for those wishing to become engineers, research workers, or accountants. GIRLS GYM, Unlike other years, girls gym is a required subject for freshmen and sophomores. Our classes are so arranged that each one of us is given five days a week of instruction. Mondays and Tuesdays we develope our skills, those that we have, in various sports in the gym. Wednesday, called Health Day, is spent in classroom with informal discussion pertaining to health problems and bodily corrections. We certainly do enjoy the remaining days of the week, for we go swimming in the pool and have certain amount of instruction and practice given to each ability group. I 21 OUR CLASSES I THE NICOLET OF 1939 1 ' 1, .Kefween fe!!! GEOMETRY Theorems, axioms, rules, protractors, compas- ses, circles, triangles, parallelograms, squares, angles, arcs, and transversals, all vie with one another for supremacy in the minds of the students taking geometry. Miss Carol Walker, the very capable mathematics instructor, is a constant source of wonder to her pupils, for many have tried in vain to imitate her rapid calculations and quick solutions of those story problems. Students are permitted to choose among A, B, or C assignments according to their own initiative, On balmy spring days you might have seen groups of geometry students strolling on the campus. They're not leaving school but merely doing out of door geometry assignments, look- ing through a transit and measuring of space. CHORUS Mi-ya sa-ma, mi-ya, sa-me, Oh n'm-ma no ma-yi ni pi-ra pi-ra su-ru no wa nan-gu no. Oh, how well we all remember those lines from that most successful production of The Mikado. The comic opera was only one of the many performances the A Cappella Choir appeared in this year. With the acquisition of the combination radio and phonograph, by means of which re- cordings of music to be performed are care- fully studied, and the capable direction of Mr. LeFevre, the chorus proved to be an asset to our school curriculum. BOYS GYM Approximately one hundered eighty-six boys took advantage of the new recreational pro- gram, when fulltime gym classes were in- augurated under the direction of Coach An- sorge. Because gym classes for junior and senior boys were elective, they met on Mondays and Wednesdays, while freshmen and sophomores met every day. Swimming took place Mondays for all classes, while freshman and sophomores had swimming on Tuesdays, too. Recreational games and gym took place on Wednesdays and Thursdays. These included games of basket- ball, checkers, chess, and recreational exercises. as 11221 f ,sf KZZLWZZIZ fefff PHYSICS How is electricity made? Why does an air- plane fly? Why does a gasoline engine run? Those of us who are interested in these ques- tions or hundreds of others have taken physics as a medium for the explanation. This course, as taught by Mr. M. J. Gegan, consists of these Eve main divisions: heat, light, sound, mechanics, and electricity. Some of the most interesting experiments we have performed this year are those on static electricity, the making of a thermometer, and the refraction of light rays. HOME ARTS Resourcefulness, consideration, honesty, gen- erosity, poise, and adaptability are traits of character which students become more con- scious of in courses in family relationships, and personal improvement. All these and more are further emphasized and practiced in a natural setting in foods, clothing, home management, consumer buying, and child development projects. When class work is over, this course, called home arts, should send young people out into the community with marked ability in the appreciation of health and art in everyday living, and in judging the value of homemak- ing. FRENCH La Cigale ayant chante, tout l'ete is 'the way we, together with the first year students, usually start our recitations on Mondays and Fridays. Our most interesting oral selections are Ln Cigale el La Fnmmi, Ln IIEINZI3 Her- itiere Def Tmglodgief. Le Corbetzu et Le Renard. and E11 A1'dlIl.' The sounds which some of us make in trying to speak French are really astounding. We translate and learn grammar during the rest of the week. A study of French aims to acquaint students, and other people, with the significance of the language, and to help them to realize the contribution made to humanity by France.

This is only one phase of the complete course offered to our commercial students. Two years of shorthand, bookkeeping, and office training are also in- cluded. The office training students are fortu- nate in having the experience of working on the comptometer, and making use of the dicta- phones in addition to classroom study. The students of the commercial department of our school are trained under the expert guidance of Miss Daisy Acker and Mr. Harold Roessler. MACHINE SHOP For those students who are mechanically minded, machine shop is a very helpful subject. Under the direction of Mr. R. G. DuCharme they learn to use their hands as well as their minds. They are taught how to use the engine lathes, drill press, speed drills, and other machines that help make the machine shop a place to receive valuable training and me- chanical experience. The tool room management is probably the best example of the students efficiency and carefulness. Through constant training the students almost automatically put the tools in their right places, and keep them in first class condition. MUSIC ENSEMBLE ln the spring a young! musician's heart lightly turns to thoughts of the ensemble tour- nament. Each year enthusiastic would-be par- ticipants in duets, quartets, trios, solos, quintets, and sextets, merrily thumb and hum their way through Mr. Krafts ensemble repertoire. All selections were made and earnest work begun by the first of February. If you've never enjoyed the experience of having your fingers grow numb, your lips stiff, your feet cold, just at the sound of an innocent man's voice saying-f Menasha, are you ready? You're on next, youave never been a member of a band ensemble. l .Kefufeen .gefff MECHANICAL DRAWING Adjustable steel stools and correct angle, adjustable table tops have at last taken the strain off the backs of the tall and have enabled the short to draw without chinning themselves on the edge of their desks. Draw- ing, one of M.H.S.'s oldest related shop subjects, has become one of the most popular and modern courses in school. The mechanics of drafting are made much more interesting since Mr. Sherman introduced the principles of perspective into this course. Drawing students are in constant demand to provide posters for every occasion. LUNCH ROOM Mrs. Anna Engleman, with her cheerful smile and ever-ready word of welcome, gra- ciously serves all of us who eat lunch at school. Our menus are planned to further the school health program and contain all the good things to eat that so appeal to hungry students. The variety of odors that issue forth from the kitchen around noon make anticipation keener. The air of friendliness seems to pervade the whole room. Some students study, others cheerfully visit, and, just as in any group, there are those who play cards. The public address system also affords a source of entertainment. Instrumental music can be heard and some- times excerpts of speeches and short plays, PARTY PREPARATIONS Everyone likes to decorate and get ready for a party, but it's amazing the way your trusted volunteers will disappear when the orchestra begins to pack-up. It is usually the janitor, the party chairman and a couple of loyal com- mitteemen who must stick it out to the bitter end. We can justly praise our janitors, who, however busy with their regular duties, some- how fmd time to aid and advise us on lighting and decorating. Whether in preparation or cleaning up, everyone this year has shown genuine cooper- ation necessary for successful parties. ' L OURQCLASSES i 25 'W-at., NW .

There are numerous opinions concerning the meaning and value of a high school honor roll. The fact that we devote this page to honoring our scholastic leaders is evidence of our regard for honor roll. To us, it represents a standard in scholastic achievement, a goal which creates an incentive for the average to be above the average and it serves as a sort of dividing line between the conscientious student and the mediocre. Since conscientiousness is one of the greatest assetsa person can have, it is only logical that the honor students be selected to represent our school whenever possible. For proof of this, one neeeds but scan the 'lactivitiesn section in this Nicolet. We are justly proud to think of them as future citizens-for, as the twig is bent, so the tree will grow.

In addition to having the honor of being chosen vice president of the senior class he has been elected pres- ident of his home room and president of the Intra-mural Association. Due to his industrious attitude, everyone in school expects Cal to be a success. He plans to study medicine for four years at college and then enroll in john Hop- kins' School of Medicine. 271 M ' in ' ' THE NICOLET OF 1939 Donald Baenke-Holding the undisputed title of all school soda jerker, Don has shown how one might apply school training. Being immaculate in appearance and a good fellow have won Don this position. Russel Beck-Russel came to us from St. Mary's School in his junior year, continuing his active work in band. According to our guess, Russel will some day manage Beck Bros. Meat Market. Verna Becker-Verna's quietly gay per- sonality makes her ideal for the commercial world, 'for which she has studied during her entire four years in high school. Her gracious manner will add to her qualifications. Earl Block-As an energetic senior Knob- by certainly gets around. He has played football and basketball for four years, and has served as chairman for some of the school's functions. Florence Bojarske- Budgy,' is what they call this small dark-haired senior with such a pleasing personality. She played in the band for three years and was in the chorus of H. M. S.

Besides furthering his chances with four years of commercial work, Earl has spent hours pouring over vol- umes on the practical use of psychology.

Qafuafea Q22 jjtouaf- - We, this year's graduating class, look back over an unparalleled era in school history. As sophomores, facing probably the most difficult of all tasks, we went through the trying times of not having a school. But, alas! in january 1958 we en- tered a new school, one of the finest in the state, that provided for so many oppor- tunities that we previously missed. We certainly made up for lost time. Immediately our class launched a policy none of our predecessors had. Our class officers, after being elected, pledged them- selves to a platform of morality doing all in their power to better their constituents so that they would be in comprehension with problems facing them, and so the senior discussion system was launched.

It was in this procedure that our senior discussion period won state recognition. Later we estab- lished a tradition by donating a gift to the school. Our initiative was further por- trayed when we sponsored one of the greatest high school assembly programs in the Fox River Valley when Mr. Walter E. Meyer, nationally known editor, publisher, organizer, and educator addressed students from six schools. All in all, we believe that the class of 1939 is one of the finest ever to uphold the traditions of the Blue and White. May we all dedicate ourselves to her principles. li59l F A IM, img, - 1 ,jf 44:5 VS' - . , ,rqfaigqwfat t 1 qui, wr sf , If nz, .waliuqw I I XJ Q M r. I 1 .' l fi l ' If W!

His height and weight helped him in breaking up opponents plays before they got started. Don Drucks- jake was the power-house of the Menasha backfield. His hard driving and deadly tackling made him a star in the conference. His spirit and aggressiveness brought him the captaincy of the team. Ray Henk-Due to his natural ability and his willingness to play, Butch develop- ed, this year, into one of the best guards Menasha has had in many years. Kenneth DuCharme- Duke was the slippery halfback on the team. His keen sense of humor and coolness on the field made him a good player. Ed Hill-Ed weighed 135 lbs. in a football suit, but he was a fine end on offense and defense. He had a lot of pep and was fighting all the time. John Levandowski-This was Iohn's first year of playing varsity football. With 6 ft. 2 in. of rugged body, he played a good game of football at tackle. Bill ThomasMThis was Bill's Hrst year out for football but he made a name for himself. By his determination, he was the first reserve end, and he played in every game. Dan StommelKDan broke his wrist in the Shawano game and didn't return till the Neenah game. He played a good game at quarterback and called plays brilliantly. Earl Block-In the first game of the season, Knobby broke his shoulder playing at halfback. In the Neenah game, he started and played a short time at center. Norbert Dallman-Norbert reported to every practice for three years although he had to travel to Sherwood before he could get his supper. He played substitute guard on the team.

The following week, the team flashed with bits of real form to beat Clintonville by a score of 13-0 after two touchdowns were called back because of penalties. After a week's rest, the team positively outplayed and over-powered the Black Phantoms from West DePere, on the latter's field, 20-7. This was the best game a Menasha team has played in years. The cheers of the Blue jay supporters drowned out all attempts of the DePere student body. The following week, in a heavy down- pour of rain, the team defeated the New London Bulldogs 15-0. Although the Bull- dogs failed to score they kept the Blue jay's forward line constantly on its toes. An open date was the schedule for next week, and the following week they played Kaukauna, the conference champions, and lost by a score of 7-0. In this game, Kaukauna showed why they won the conference title by scoring on a thrilling play play with sixteen seconds left in the first half. In the final game of the season on Armistice night, the Menasha Blue Jays defeated the Neenah Rockets in a thrilling contest, 6-0, at the Butte des Morts field. The season ended with Menasha in third place in the Western Division of the Northeastern conference, with four wins and two losses. The Blue Jays will be lead next season by the newly elected co-captains Gene Grode and Kenneth Wolff. H91 THE NICOLET OF 1939 Top Row: Franz, R. Michalkiewicz, Hahnen, Weber, J. Chadek.

Much credit is due Coach Calder for developing a group of recruits into a well-balanced synchronizing unit. In looking over the wins and losses, the Blue Jays have won four and lost eight. This, however, is over-shadowed by the develop- ment of spirit, determination and cooperation. In a non-conference game, the hrst of the year for the Jays, they were defeated by Oshkosh, Fox River Valley Champs, 34-16. Starting the conference season, the Blue-men defeated Clintonville 27-12. After successive defeats by Kaukauna, New London, West De Pere, Neenah, and Shawano twice, the Blue Jays came back with wins over Clintonville 39-27, West De Pere 31-20, and Kaukauna 23-22. In the last home encounter for seven seniors the New London Bull-dogs turned back Menasha in a last quarter rally, 30-20. Before a crowd of 1500 spectators the home lads were defeated, 20-16, by their ancient rival, Neenah, in the. final conference game. Afer the conference season was over, the District Tournament was held in Menasha's new gymnasium.

Boy, how exciting! You know, we always wanted one- and say, we have plenty of rugged track material. Take Cal for instance, just the man for shot-putting. Don Baenke has been keeping in form by tossing snowballs at the girls, he's good for one hundred fifty feet with the javelin. The high jump and -hurdles should be a cinch with appendages like those belonging to Legs, Zelinski and Taylor,' Thomas competing for positions. Dave Buksyk's great muscular control should enable us to take every entry in the discus events. Porky has the stamina to carry us in the mile and half-mile gallops, while Duke will be garnering points for us in the sprints. And, of course, l'm always good forff, Say! XX!hich one of us is being interviewed, anyway? Cool off, and let me give my brief analysis of what will probably take place in track this spring. Now since track is new in M.H.S., I will issue a call for all interested in any phase of the sport, give tryouts, divide the candidates into their proper ability groups, equip them, coach them at regular practices, and select a first string track team. If the cinder track back of the school is finished early enough, we should uncover some nice sprinters among the bunch. If we develop this rugged material you referred to, I am sure we will show well enough in our first year to enter the conference track meet at Neenahf' Yes, and with your enthusiasm to choke out spring fever, and the prospects of doing battle with Neenah, l'm sure that our trackmen will start off with a 'bangf 'l CNO pun intendedj T561 .

Although tennis has been a major competitive sport in our school for just a few years it is rapidly gaining the popularity that it enjoys in such tennis minded towns as Neenah. The 1938 tennis schedule, arranged by Mr. O. F. Johanson, tennis coach, consist- ed of matches with Neenah, Fond Du Lac, Manitowoc, Shawano, Oshkosh, East Green Bay, and Ripon. In addition, the squad entered the Conference Meet held at Neenah on May 3, 1938 and won second place. Later in the season they entered one doubles and two singles teams in the State Tournament. Members of the squad were: Yaley, Floyd, Staniak, Ponto and Landskron on the first team and Bendt, Schmitzer, and Machie as reserves. Candidates for the 1939 tennis squad include quite a number of players who have seen action in the past few years. The squad started indoor practice in the gym on March 16 and will start outdoor practice as soon as weather permits. Taking into consideration their early start, the members of the squad should be able to give any team a run for its money. The tentative schedule includes matches with Oshkosh, Manitowoc, East Green Bay, Neenah, Shawano, and we hope to play Fond Du Lac, and Ripon, before the season is over. i58fl WW J MXNXW KES K5 ,ff M 2 1:1529 E ACTIVITIES Shzudifzgz Wfilliam Heckrodt, George Verhoven, Ruth Walter, jack Crockett.

In either case, the subject material behind the exterior must be carefully examined be- fore a just criticism can be made. Therefore, in selecting students to be honored by membership in a society which represents the very highest rank obtainable in a high school career. the selecting faculty group meets behind closed doors and spends hours evaluating the merits of the candidates, XVith this very careful analysis. those pupils who hate shown an aptitude for high scholarship. functional characters. leadership, and serxice throughout their four-year term, in the various departments of school, and have willingly rendered their services without thought of remuneration, are recommended to membership in the National Honor society. Occasionally students feel that the faculty committee does not use good judg- ment in some of their selections. This is due to critics' incomplete knowledge of the full requirements of the society. Sometimes a student who has coasted for three years. shows an exceptional change in attitude and ability in his senior year. His friends are easily misled by his recent accomplishments and often express their poor judgment by criticizing the faculty selectors. Their reasoning is faulty. for after all, the major purpose of this society is to select those whose continued presence in class will elevate the standards of their fellow students. XY'e hope that official recognition given to these few will lead our underclassmen to realize the value of being some- body and will create an incentive for them to be among the ranks of National Honor. i591 .

The question for this year's debate proved most intriguing because of its current interest and debatability. The question for debate was: Resolved that the United States form an alliance with Great Britain. Taking time off from classwork, Miss Sigrid Paulson, history teacher, coached this year's debate squads, and gave them the beneht of her wide knowledge and experience. The old saying that you learn through doing has caused the debate teams to enter into rnore non-decision debates, and in this way, gain much needed experience. They have also done research work, trying to find every possible argument, pro and con, on the question that will soon confront the general public. They have participated in the debate tournaments held at Neenah, and Appleton, and they attended the speech clinic at Madison. While in Madison, Joyce Scanlon and William Spengler participated in a mixed debate, competing with students from the various Wisconsin towns represented. The A squad was not very successful this year, but the BH squad won a well deserved chance to enter in the tournament at Milwaukee, and it looks as though the Menasha high school has the makings of a state championship team. The members of the A squad were Katherine Dexter, Joyce Scanlon, William Spengler, and Richard Steitens. Katherine and Richard will be lost by graduation. The members of the B squad were Roy DesJarlais, Joyce Drephal, Jack Gummerus, Edward Latondress, Edith Reidhauser, and Ruth Scanlon. On to 1940!

The 1939 Nicolet staff has shown special interest in originality and has spent countless hours racking its collective brains for ideas. The faculty advisers, Miss Biddle and Mr. Griffith, contributed their bit of originality when they chose jack Crockett editor-in-chief. This was a signal honor, in that, as far back as we could trace, there have always have been co-editors. For three years we were unable to print the book in our print shop. This year, as an incentive to do our best, we realized that ours was the first Nicolet to be done in toto in our new school. The staff was chosen from interested students who feel that they are able to carry the added burden, who have such fine traits as cooperation and leadership, and who show they have the knack of solving the many problems with which they are con- fronted. Nicolet work was divided into five parts. The business staff made up the near! budget and sold advertising. Editors planned the pages of the book, the writing and editing to page. The photographic and feature group planned both serious and comic pictures. Printers whipped the copy into shape, and the circulation manager and his helpers planned the distribution of the finished book. In following its theme, be original. the Nicolet staff was the first organization in school to use the broadcast system. Witlm a sparkling program, in January, the staff launched its subscription drive and put the 1939 Nicolet on the road to Success, f61J THE NICOLET OF 1939 Standing: Steffens, Mr. Chapitis, adviserg Weber, Foth, Latondress, W.

Capably guided by Mr. W. Chapitis, the staH has had one of its most successful years. It was also through the perseverance of the two co-editors, Katherine Dexter and Richard Steffens, that the paper kept its popularity. William Spengler, managing editor, did a good piece of work in making the lay- outs and writing headlines. Much credit should be given to George Goeser, for he was the best sports-editor that the staff has had in the last six years. Human interest was created through juliane and Carol Mae Peterson's column, Sharps and F1ats,', which kept us informed about the activities of the bandg Margaret Klimls feature articles, which told us all about the latest fads and fashionsg the many editorials, and Through the Reporter's Periscopej' which made known to all the secrets of various individuals. The newspaper is again printed tri-weekly by the students in the high school printing department. It takes sixteen thousand written words contributed to make up one issue of the Nicolet News, of ten thousand printed wordsg so all good reporters are kept busy. The aim of the staff this year was to try to gather all the events that took place around school and combine and preserve for everyone to read, in this way, promoting student friendship and binding their wide and many interests. tm I f I f f'TJ ll ,fi xx-.ff 1 'I 'V Huh!! f 4 nf 'ff ACTIVITIES Top Rout Wisnefski, Skalmoske, Levandowski, Zelinski, Thompson, Hill, Snyder.

Griffith, instructor, has just completed its eighth year. The club, composed of junior and senior printing students, enabled the boys to come in contact with men in the print- ing business and visit various printing establishments in our city. Meetings were held every other Monday in the printing classroom. The officers. elected at the hrst meeting, were: Gerald Jensen, presidentg William Resch, vice president, Edward Hill, secretary-treasurer. Only seniors are eligible to be officers. This year, money was raised by selling ice cream bars at the basketball games and was partially used to secure pictures for the printing room. Special committees arranged visiting trips and secured prominent men, who are connected with graphic arts, to give talks on their particular field of work. The social program, this year, was arranged by the various committees under the supervision of Mr. Griffith. Last fall the boys went on an all-day outing at Camp Chicagamme and cooked their meals over open fires. In December, a Christmas party at the Y.W.C.A. was enjoyed by the members and their friends. This spring the Sixth Annual Printers club banquet was held in the activities room for the present and alumni members of the club. This year, the boys taking printing, were able to enjoy a complete shop and a complete program of shop work. Such a program will give the students a chance to prepare for their vocation.

Intrepidly presenting His Majesty's Ship Pinaforen in their first year, the choir this year followed it with The Mikado,'l an operetta above the caliber of high school students, showing the exceptional musical ability of M.H.S. students. In the past year the choir has appeared before assemblies and in other school programs attired in their attractive blue and silver robes. Among the choir's other outstanding productions, this year, was the cantata, The Crucitixionf' sung at the spring concert. The choir meets daily in the activities room. They elected the following officers: Lamar Foth, president, John Kuester, vice presidentg Betty DuCharme, secretary- treasurerg Peggy Gear, robe mistress, Marion Pomerening, business manager, Norman Michie, publicity managerg Ruth Fitzgibbon and Helen Brand, librarians. Some of the songs learned this year were Summer Time by George Gershwin, Listen To The Lambs by R. Nathaniel Dett, All In The April Evening by Hugh S. Robertson, and Full Fathom Five by Charles Wood. We are sure that Menasha's vocal department under the direction of Mr. Le Fevre, will go far with this excellent start. i643 ACTIVITIES Principals in the opcrctra, Thu Mikmiuf' LL!! to right: Dunald Meyer, Poo ISA!-IQ Ruth Fitzgihbon, PREP Bog june Moran, I,l'I I'I Smog Harold Olson, Tmf Mrxmmog Peggy Gear, KfmsHAg Norman Michic fkncc-Iingj, NANKI-P003 Lamar Futh, K0-Kog Ruth Ducmkc, YUM-Y1vMg Bruce Long, P1sH-Tusl-1.

The play, which takes place in Kentucky, revolves around a beautiful Mignonette Deardon, who has been dead since 1861. Rose Mills. a modern young girl, wants to marry justin Halliday, of whom her grandfather, jonathan Mills doesn't approve. Old Mr. Mills thinks that 'lustirfs grandfather once prevented him from marrying Mignonette. The second act goes back to 1861 and Mignonettels side of the story is told. However, the third act brings a happy ending for Rose and justin when Mignonette's diary is found. The cast of characters were: Mignonette Deardon, Adeline Seidel, Rose Mills, Mildred Pankratz, jonathan Mills, Donald Blaneyg justin Halliday, Leslie Westberg, Mammy Lou, Doris Nemitzg Annabelle Higgins, Marilyn Fahrbach, Stella Boggs, Pearl Laske, Hannah Splivens, Ruth Walter, Esmerelda Brown, Betty Harold, Anna Bryant, Eileen Keapockg Alice Fox, Dorothea Drajeskeg Gladys Dyke, Dorothy Wildag Elizabeth Maxwell, Frances Dumbeckg David Frames, Vernon Pontog Deacon Parker, William Erdmang Simon Clay, James Omachinski, Henry Spenser, Herbert Hartungg Thomas Mills, doubled by Parker, Paul Deardon, doubled by Justin.

Delicious. steaming coffee, tasty tempting hot dogs and sandwiches mark the band mothers' ever-popular between-the-halves refreshment stand, at those chilly football games. This year the band mothers purchased a beautiful set of orchestra bells, a set of Chinese tempo blocks, and an attractive banner for the chimes. The chimes were their gift to the band in 1938. Before the end of the school year, they expect to present the band with a com- plete set of music encyclopedias for their music library. These will be of infinite value to the students in their music appreciation course. Besides doing all these things for our student musicans, the band mothers aid financially in sending them to tournaments, sponsoring extra trips, and then they entertain the whole band at a banquet after the tournament strain is over. Surely this loyal organization of mothers is worthy of much praise and laurels. The band members are especially proud of them and deeply appreciate their efforts. The officers for 1938-39 were: Mrs. F. M. Corry, presidentg Mrs. C. B. Anderson, vice presidentg Mrs. Chadek, secretaryg Mrs. K. Carrick, treasurer.

The performance, at the half of the football game, under the leadership of the three capable drum majors, Helen Hendy, Lois Leopold, and Gerald Jensen, is definitely awaited. Between the U Rah Rah's at nearly every pep assembly the band is ready to supply us with a few snappy tunes. Last year, in the district tournament, at New London, the band won first place in class B playing and sightreading, first place in class A marching, while many solos and ensembles won first place in different classes. These solos and ensembles entered the state tournament at Madison, where some won first places again. In time for the Christmas concert, Mr. Kraft, with the assistance of Mr. Wien- bergen and the fathers of a few band members, made an elevated platform, finished in the colors of blue and silver which improves the appearance of the band one hundred per cent. Officers were elected for the hrst time this year. Marion Homan was chosen as presidentg Dorthy Plowright, vice presidentg Marjorie Domnie, secretary, Patty Corry, treasurerg Carol Mae Peterson, reporter, John Chadek, Edward Corry, Wil- liam Hahnen, and Gordon Wasinger, business managers.

Highlights of the year's activities include Play Day, a Life Saving club, and the water pageant. On Play Day, representatives from nearby G.A.A. organizations were invited to spend the day with Menasha girls as their hosts. The purpose of such an activity was to develop a friendly spirit between schools and to better acquaint Menasha girls with those of nearby cities. The program of the day consisted of a complete schedule of indoor sports including swimming. The aim of the Life Saving club was to teach the fundamentals of life saving. The life saving tests were given in February. This year, the G.A.A. swimming class presented its water pageant, the first of its kind, including the various styles of swimming, diving, and acquatic stunts. l70fl .15IM'y,,,c1'f W 5 MW WWW mi W6 FEATURES M Cf E N Mi A Es 2 , CD JD i H A?
