Ryan, secretary, and Mr. Carl Drexler. Mfc4z'z'on.4f fjafucazfion In the west wing of our building, teaching has reached a high point in vocational school training. This part of the school has become an adult center and is growing in popularity. The enrollment reached the 1,100 mark during 1940. Because of the large group of adults and regular day-school members who have taken advantage of the courses offered, many improvements are being made. The Board of Vocational and Adult Education has made possible all the addition- al changes which were not included in the building plans. Before the old school building burned, the Board planned to add a dust collecting system in the wood- working department. Now their plans are fulfilled and the equipment has been installed. The printing shop now has added machinery due to the efforts of the Board in getting a job press for this department. Lastly, the sheet metal equipment for the machine shop was ordered and installed. Certainly the Board deserves a great deal of credit for its work in helping to add materials and equipment for our buildings. The second year of the University Freshman Extension course has been a successful one for many students who have taken advantage of a first year college training. There are five or more subjects that the student can choose from, including: English, Spanish, geography, science, and mathematics, taught by university instruct- ors. Upon receiving their credits, these freshmen may transfer to any college they choose. The Board has shown us through their hard work the goal they are striving forfimprovements for the students of Menasha. mi K ,O s V 1 fl Ji 1 u jf J . 5' JADMINISTRATION I a ' A ,N i N' 1 5 Nl X ' -ji . c5,,'j'1v1R.

The party turned out to be a great success partly due to the cooperation of the class and partly to the faithful commit- tees.

The entertainment was provided by Barbara Clinton, chairman, and Ruth Backes, Jeanette Jensen, Elaine johnson, Tom Handler, and Don Garrigan helped. The clean-up committee was headed by Bill Thompson, with Bud Gieble, Bob Drephal, and Stetfens assisting. N51 0 fir THE NICOLET OF 1940 44 PRINTING CLASS The printing class may be said to be the tie between school and industry. The boys work under the atmosphere and routine of school and yet they receive training under actual working conditions. Under the direction of Mr. I-I. O. Griffith, the boys receive tech- nical instruction on running machines and setting up type, and actual training in printing the yearbook, Nicolet News, programs, tickets, and posters for the school. EXCUSES Why can't we be original? Why use the same old alibis day in and day out? Trains, oversleeping, clock stopped, slight accidents, and doing work at home before coming to school, rank highest among the many excuses for tardiness that pupils give every morning and noon. Miss Walker and Mr. Armstrong must pass judgment on these every day, and they seldom confuse the right excuse with the exaggeration. OFFICE TRAINING Shorthand, typing, and spelling are only a few of the business world subjects taught under the expert guidance of Miss Daisy Acker. The students learned how to operate efficiently the dictaphone, comptometer, and mimeograph. A part of the year's program was typing addresses and sending out tuber- culosis stamps to the citizens of Menasha. Equipment from the main offlce was examined and the students had practice in working the different machines. I S5JJ::LtX?i?x5K2 lwkni AY?M,qJAQ9 Ji Qaedbv A,ai3uo BROADCASTING Amezzlimz Plame: This radio system is not only used for broadcasting announcements pertaining to the school, but covers a wide held of endeavor. Any important radio pro- gram, such as the presidents speech is always turned on. After dinner the students get a little swing to enlighten their outlook. Publicity campaigns for dances, parties, and games can be put over much more easily with the use of our broadcasting system. Tim! ir all. MUSIC There's never a dull moment with the band students. Tournaments, summer and winter concerts, ensembles, private lessons, solos, band practices, and the drum and bugle corps, have occupied many of their idle hours. Thrills travel up and down our spines when we reminisce of all the glorious times we have had on trips to Chicago, Madison, and other tournaments, and playing at pep meetings, football, and basketball games. CIVICS Current events is a part of the interesting work carried on by this class. They have organized a club with a constitution and elect otticers quarterly to give more students an opportunity to hold a position of responsibility. The club held a candy sale last fall to help raise money to buy current event papers which they use for reading and class discussion. They also study civic, social, economic, and govern- ment problems of the community. E451 l 's y ' 1. N I lg lg., 7 A ' . I i is ' I5 'ilk' A-.Q' ' 1 , 4 ,f I , .. , f fr rf . - I 1. I 1 ,VE ' 1.

This sub- ject is made much more interesting through experimentation, demonstration, and visual aid. We find many of the freshmen asking in exciting tones, Have you seen the new science movie? or Have you done this experiment yet? This study also acquaints the students with many of the sciences such as chemistry, biology, botany, zoology, and botinology. LATIN According to Miss Williams, a knowledge of Latin makes an important contribution to one's cultural background and knowledge of English. Latin ranks as a major subject with three classes, increasing in size each year. Vocabulary, poems, translation, mythology, and word study all make up the daily routine. This year the students are under the direction of Miss Helen Williams, who came from Stoughton to take the place left by W. J. Chapitis. LIFE-SAVING Life-saving methods and the knowledge of water safety such as knowing when, where, and how to bathe are essential facts that everyone should know. In our life-saving class, we learn how to break holds, approach and carry a drowning person, help a tired swim- mer, and most important of all, how to revive a person by means of artificial respiration. Our instrucor, Miss Marijane jex, is a Red Cross lifesaving examiner. I WOODWORKING Though woodworking is an elective subject, it may taken all four years in preparation for a real trade. The student in the woodworking class learns the fundamentals of craftsmanship by use of machines and tools, A project is taken and huilt step by step by a student who takes pride in his work, The shop is equipped with all machines and tools necessary to pro- duce good work, and recently a dust collecting system was installed. LIBRARY This is the heart of the school. Students can be found during the day studying at the many tables, and when the 3:10 bell rings, they read the periodicals, magazines, and newspapers. Miss Fox is always busy getting new and more interesting books ready for teachers and students, Not only are there novels and adventure stories, but also ency- clopedias and chemistry books. During one month, 352 fiction books and 228 non-fiction were checked out. FRESHMAN ENGLISH English is one of the most interesting sub- jects offered in the freshman year. Beside grammar drills, they study units on essays, short stories, ballads, poems, plays, and some classes read Ivanhoe When the plays were studied the students were required to write plays themselves, which proved both fascin- ating and interesting. Many are now writing autobiographies which shows their interest and enjoyment in the class work. CLASSES wi THE NICOLET OF 1940 48 SPEECH The seven students that made up the Speech class proved their interest and good work by sponsoring Drama Night, giving a radio play, The Silver Cord, and appearing in assembly skits. The school was kept well posted on the doings of this group by the members them- selves. They held I-Iarpo Marx as their copy for pantomime but made the Academy Award winners their goal. One of the highlights of the year's program came when all the students went to Appleton and recorded their voices. With this start, speech interest is beginning a steady climb to popularity. ASSEMBLIES U-Rah-Rah-Me-na-shalI has been about the only type of echoes to come from the auditorium in former years. But now one hears such things as- Good afternoon stu- dentsnfor Today I have the pleasure of introducing Mr. Haboush, a Mohammedan shepherd from the Holy Land, as well as pep talks and yells. University Extension programs also form an interesting part of our entertain- ment. These six programs, given for Five cents each, include speeches, dramatics, demonstra- tions, and experiments. ART CLASS The Art class meets for an hour twice a week after school, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Membership is open to anyone in junior or senior high school who is interested in learning how to darw. The class consists of nine mem- bers. Most materials are furnished by the school, but students pay a small fee to defray part of the costs. Pupils use pencils and pens almost exclusively, though a few, who are interested, have done work with pastels and tempera colors. Some interesting work has been done to advertise certain school projects. l Wx gwf M ,Q ' I .n ,7 ,M P I ,gr 1 xx, ' VW ad ., A rf .1 xy. ,J L.: K. if A Uv' lik w' Q ' 71' X gf' iii il A , LJ g f' A ., Z,-J Y X N 05 arf' , N ,sk xx N' 'W Fl T I-I L ?

Kenneth Finch-Gramp's faithfulness won the respect of his teammates. His small size held him at the sub-guard position, but Ken was a mainstay at his position and was always on the job. Gene Grode-The quietness Gene exhibits at times really hides his spirit and pep. As captain and guard, he urged the team forward and a wrenched shoulder did not prevent him from giving his best all year. Norman Michie-This year was Mick's first year at end but his defensive play showed him to be a veteran. Many enemy plays ended up in his territory. The squad will miss him next year. Richard Sheleski- Shela, as the only senior halfback, did his job well. His fleetness won quite a few yards for the Blue Jays in many encounters.

Even his bad ankle did not take away his pep. He took his work seriously and the team liked him for it. Kenneth Wolff-As captain and center, Ken's humor and cheerfulness kept pep and cheer in the team and the Blue Jays were back of him when he called the defensive plays. His tenacity gave many opponent quarterbacks a headache. William Woodhead-At tackle Woody was hard hitting, determined, and he opened many holes for the Blue jay backs, besides taking fearlessly any opponent that came his way. lf51l Q THE NICOLET OF l94O + ........ .

Led by Luker, the Oshkosh men won 14 to 0. The first conference game was played the next week at Kaukauna, with Carl Giordanna spurring last year's leaders to a 21 to 6 victory, the Blue jay Robinson starring for Menasha. Billy Reed's Heetness in the open gave the Shawano Indians a victory of 25 to 14 the next week. Intercepted passes were the downfall of the Blue Jays but the line showed up very good. Then came hard practice, for the new Clintonville team was a dark horse. How- ever, the Blue Jays were not worried and easily won 19 to 0. During the game, the reserves almost scored another touchdown. The combination of Baldauf to Weber worked very well. West DePere was trounced by 20 to 6 on our home field, but an over-confident team took a hard beating at New London the next week on a bitter cold night. The score was 7 to O, but it was a defeat that even a week of rest did not wipe out. During this vacation the Clintonville Truckers had taken their first game in years. They had beaten a discouraged Neenah team who were to be our next victims. ' Menasha made their seven points by driving, but the Neenah team, aided by Burt's passes and Menasha's backfield fumbles, managed to score on a long pass. Bunker kicked the point, and the final game of the year ended in a tie as the Menasha team failed to pick the breaks left for them.

Ae H502 6141611 After a non-conference defeat from West Green Bay, an impressive 1939-40 basketball squad came back with new spirit and smooth action to turn back the mighty Shawano team by a score of 28 to 24, surprising everyone. After this victory the Blue Jays looked forward to a high conference average. On December 22, high hopes soared as Menasha toppled Clintonville by a rollicking score of 41 to 15. Then with a mixed feeling of confidence and foreboding, the Jays got set to invade Neenah led by its high scoring center, I-lesselman. The game was wild and wooly, and only after a terrific struggle, did Menasha bow in defeat to a score of 24 to 20. Slightly upset, but still determined, the team traveled to meet a Kaukauna team that was really on, as shown by the score, Kaukauna-35, Menasha-18. New London, on january 9, handed the Blue Jays their third straight loss. In a game featured by thirty-eight fouls, the Bulldogs defeated Menasha by a close score of 25 to 21. On january 12, the team ended its three-game losing streak by nosing out West DePere by a score of 31 to 28, both teams showing a lull in defense. Menasha, on january 19, was defeated here by Neenah by a score of 35 to 25. Unable to stop Reed, star forward, the Jays succumbed to Shawano, on january 26, by a score of 36 to 17. The Blue Jays again overwhelmed Clintonville on February 9, the score was 49 to 26. The boys had an off night against the New London Bulldogs February 16 and were defeated 25 to 16. The Ansorgemen closed a not unsuccessful basketball season by defeating West DePere by a convincing score of 30 to 16. 1591 THE NICOLET OF 1940 A packed house in Menasha's gym watched a peppy Neenah quint nose out the Blue jay five in the fastest game of the year. jayinf I4 - - Douglas Anderson-Sometime late in the season Doug started on the team and, in the short time left, he won quite a few points for the team at center. Harold Blockf Gus usually started the games, playing a fiery, peppy game all year. At the guard position he led offensive advances. Fred Landskron- Blondie worked hard all year in the forward position, He was able to work up a few points and his teadiness stabilized the team many times. Richard Landskron-That lazy, easy-going manner of Acids, fooled many opponents. A scrappy spirit and a determination to make points kept him at the forward position. Wilbur Merkeley- Pudge's,' nice handling of the ball and teamwork from the guard position rang up many a basket for the Blue Jays. Roland O'Brien- Rolly played a sub position and worked hard when he got in the game. His pep stopped many an enemy threat. r 603 ATHLETICS lieth-fqti lm This game was a wild and Wooly attair and Neenah's superiority form the free-throw line earned them a victory of 24 to 20. 722 Mop! few Henry Osiewalski- This year was a good one for Ozzie , When he was on the floor he played with all he had and his teammates liked him for it. John Skalmoski- Musick in the sub position played good, hard basketball and sub- stituted many times during the season. Henry Spice- Hank was another quiet, member on the team who liked to fool opponents. He took the ball for many a ride into scoring territory. Gaylord Thompson--His height earned Gayl a berth on the regular team and also made many points for the Blue Jays. He played sub- center and worked hard. Ray Wippich-Two years of basketball have made Ray a player to be feared. The enemy guarded him very closely for his scoring had built up the Blue lays points very nicely. Dean Youngerf 'Shorty,' made a name for him- self at sub-center position and also some points for the Blue lays. wi M 5515 Ji? . Is!

The selection is made by the faculty committee, and the students are chosen for their outstanding scholarship, ability to be leaders, their fine character, and the service they have rendered to their school arid community. The students must have maintained the same high standard throughout four years in high school and are not chosen for the outstanding work of one year only. The honor of being chosen for membership in this society is the highest possible achievement a student can attain and is an honor to be proud of and lived up to for the rest of his life. In selecting students for membership in the National Honor Society, the faculty is not merely rewarding these students who show the most prom- ise of becoming good citizens and valuable members of society. In the spring an impressive Candle Lighting ceremony is held. With the Goddess of Light-to represent learning and understanding-bearing a flaming torch, the new honor students are presented and received by the alumni of the society. They are presented with a pin which has a flaming torch on it and the insignia, S.L.C.S.- scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Miss Helen Williams will be chairman of the faculty committee this year, .filling the vacancy left by Mr. W. J. Chapitis.

Whenever there was anything to be accomplished, everyone lent his assistance. The co-editors planned the primary moves and decided all vital points. The circulation manager not only directed the sales, but helped the business manager procure ads. The literary and page editors have put forth every effort not only to add originality and sparkle to the write-ups, but have tramped the streets of the business districts in hopes of catching prospective advertisers in a responsive mood. The Nicolet staff confronts many more problems than the average student realizes, and so of necessity, almost every sixth hour is used for Nicolet work, The clever sales campaign, which made the students of M.H.S. Nicolet conscious, should be mostly credited to this group of literary editors. When the 1940 Nicolet came off the press, every staff member was only too eager to deliver it to awaiting students. Any senior who has the scholastic ability, is dependable, and who feels he can spare the extra time without risking a decline in his grades, is eligible to be a staff member of the Nicolet. Miss Isabel Biddle and Mr. H. O. Griffith are the Nicolet advisers, without whose experience, invaluable advice, and countless hours of labor this 1940 Nicolet, superior to all others, would never have been realized. tm ACTIVITIES NICOLET I ' I STAFF ' ul., L E--Q-1-, , if W la Co-Ec2'ifor.v: Roscmary Grirlitll and Harold Witt.

With a nucleus of five debaters from the previous year, a new debate coach, and four new members, debate in Menasha high school started a new chapter in its history. To Mr. Henkel, our coach, goes the credit for giving debate a new impetus. Five debaters from last year made up the A team. They were Roy Desjarlais, jack Gummerus, Edward Latondress, joyce Scanlon, and Ruth Scanlon. The four new members, Billy Hafemeister, Helen johnson, Lois Sabrowslci, and Barbara Sensen- brenner made up the B team. The debate question for the year was Resolved: That the Federal Government should own and operate the railroads. Though this question has been debated often in the past, it is one of the most challenging and important, and at the same time interesting, questions that faces America today. The question, because of its nature, required exhaustive study of statistics and economic reports. This however, was valuable training for the debaters which will be of use to them later. The high point of the debate season came when the debate tournament was held here in Menasha high school. Debate teams of schools in the Oshkosh Forensic District, sixteen in all, participated in the contest. Two Rivers and Neenah, each with six wins and no losses, were tied for first place in the tournament. made a good showing and from all angles the tournament was considered a success. The debate season ended with the A team's participation in the annual two day National Forensic League tournament held at the Marquette University campus. tw ACTIVITIES Tae jjfayif 7-Ae On the evening of March 25, the senior class of 1939 presented for their annual dramatic contribution, Tiger House, a three-act mystery comedy written by Robert St. Clair, under the direction of Mr. l,e lfevre. All of the tricks that make mystery plays thrilling were used, from the sound of falling rain to the mysterious flickerings of lights. Because of the splendid work of the entire class, the evenings performance reached a new high in our school's entertainment. When the play opened, Myra Lowrie, played by juliane Peterson, had gone to claim an estate, called Mystery Manor, which she had recently inherited from her Aunt Sylvia, deceased spirit medium. According to the terms of the will she had to live in the house two years in order to gain full possession. She was attended by Aunt Sophia, a maiden aunt, and Yami, a Hindu house boy. A group of friends came to visit Myra during a violent thunder storm. Then things started to happen. Appar- ently someone was looking for a collar of jewels which the deceased Aunt Sylvia had previously stolen from a Tiger Cult while visiting Africa. The guilty person was discovered in good time, but not before many harrowing experiences were perpetrated on certain members of the cast. The '59 graduates gave as a gift to the school a group of stage properties built by the manual arts department. Seniors who helped to make the play a success by their backstage work included Marion Pomerening, assistant director, Katherine Dexter, publicity, and Bruce Long, stage manager.

Bob Skalmoski is sports editor and page layout man. It is Bob's duty to decide which articles should be in the most important places. He must also go to all the games and write them in an exciting manner for the paper. Rosemary Austin is copy editor and rewrites any article when necessary. Leola Backes is editorial manager, writing most of the editorials that appear in the paper. She also selects the best editorials from those written by other staff members and occasionally uses one from contributors. Daisy Phillips is news editor and makes all assignments. She must pick up news leads and send reporters hurrying for stories. The paper is published every three weeks, and only the people on the staff can know the hustle and bustle required to get all material to the printers on time. An assignment sheet is posted after each issue, designating the story and the date it is due. A number of features appear in each issue. Rosemary Griffith writes a regular fashion article. Bob Skalmoski writes Between Baskets during basketball season, and Between Goalpostsn during the football season. This column discloses quite a lot of choice gossip about the team. The Inquiring Reporter, a new feature, brings out the opinions of practically all the students in school. Mr. H. O. Griffith and Miss Helen May Williams are the advisers, and only with their help could the Nicolet News be published.

It is composed of juniors and seniors taking printing and meetings are held every other Monday in the class room. The ofhcers for this year are: Harold Witt, president, jack Engfer, vice presidentg Kenneth Wolff, secretary-treasurer. During the past years the club sold ice cream bars at all home basketball games. This year a set of six hand colored pictures on The Evolution of the Book have been purchased with the proceeds from the bar sales. The club again took trips to the various industrial plants in the city that are connected with printing. These trips not only gave the boys a better picture of the printing industry but they helped to bring them in closer contact with industry and showed the difjferent phases that one may prepare for. In connection with the various trips, arrangements were made to have business men from industrial plants of the twin cities come and give talks on applying for jobs, merits of good workmanship, and explanations of the different phases of printing. The social program consisted of the annual Christmas Party at the Y and the annual Alumni Banquet held in April. The banquet not only provides a fine social entertaiment but it reunites all the past members of the Printers Club. U11 THE NICOLET OF 1940 Mrs. F. M. Corry, president, Mrs. C.

Mozfetj The Band Mothers were first organized in 1931 to further the progress of our Menasha high school band. This willing group of mothers has grown in membership and through its cooperation has achieved many of its aims. At football games this group may be found serving hot dogs, coffee, and candy bars. After the game, tired, hungry players welcome their hot lunch. The Band Mothers serve tasty banquets for the Printers club. the Band, and Athletic club to earn money for trips, new instruments, and incidental equipment. Students look forward to their attractive refreshment table at social functions. This year their organization worked especially hard to raise sufficient funds to send the Band to the national tournament. They presented to the Band a stroboscope last spring. This tuning instrument has become a valuable aid to the hand members and has helped to improve the intonation of the band. Besides giving card parties, food sales, and using many other methods to help them through their pecuniary troubles, the Band Mothers themselves have social activities to promote a feeling of friendliness among its members. A spirited Christ- mas party and a pot-luck supper with their husbands are two gala events of the year. The officers for the 1939-40 were: Mrs. F. M. Corry, president, Mrs. C. B. Anderson, vice president, Mrs. Chadek, secretary, Mrs. K. Carrick, treasurer. The band members are really proud of the work their mothers do for them and show their appreciation through their efforts to turn out a first-class band. U21 M .

A veteran group of high school singers re-enrolled in the choral club at the beginning of the school year in addition to the well-seasoned singers from the junior high school and many fine voices from the Menasha parochial schools. A well- balaneecl group of sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses presented a group of songs at the Christmas band concert. A feature of the concert was the presentation of the The American Ode by the full choir and the band. The choir presented The Bohemian Girl, an opera in four acts. The soloists, Delores Sylwanowicz, Norman Michie, Donald Meyer, Donald Jensen, Arlene Par- ker, Ruth Duemke, and Richard Anderson gave a top-notch performance, with the chorus adding zip and variety. Mr. William Novotny, director of an Oshkosh orchestra, furnished the musical accompaniment. One hundred twenty-five voices participated in an Easter oratorio, The Seven Last Words of Christf' Representative numbers sung by the choir this year were: Go to Dark Gethsemane, Angnus Dei, The Monastary Garden, When Day is Done, and The Holly and the Ivyfl - - -3 and it shall be the duty of the music supervisor to foster and develop among his students an appreciation and understanding of all that is fine in music that their cultural training may not lack this fundamental quality. High standards and a credit to Menasha High have been the twin goals of the music department, which seemed to strike a responsive chord in the minds of many high school students.

This active organ- ization presents interesting tournaments in basketball, volleyball, swimming, ping pong, baseball, horseshoe, and archery for all girls interested and has also organized a Life Saving club. Last year the group presented a swimming pageant, Deep in a Dream, which was enthusiastically received by the people of Menasha. The main event of this year was a playday, Sailor's Holiday, which was given on December 9. The Menasha girls were hostesses to sixty girls from nine different schools. The event was planned with a nautical theme and invitations were printed on painted sailboats and anchors. The gym was decorated with colorful flags and each girl had an identification tag in the shape of a life saver. The girls played basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, ping pong, deck tennis, and participated in the favorite sport of the day, swimming. A hand carved ship's log containing a resume of the day's events was awarded to the Sheboygan G.A,A. for earning the most points. PLAY DAY.
