.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.,

THE NlCOLET OF l939 24 .getween .Kem COMMERCIAL The rhythmical click of the typewriter keys can be heard by those entering the commercial department of our high school. 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

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. T261
