Through experimentation in a variety of media, including papier-mache, clay, and copper enameling, young artists learn to express themselves more freely. Citizenship Current events provide an ever-changing background on the civics scene. Freshmen gain at least a speaking acquaintance with world affairs and national government. The annual green year tour of major industries in our area leads to a series of dis- cussions packed with questions. Perhaps the personality tests, which reveal surprising facts to those tested, cause the greatest comment and delight among the frosh. Home Economics A scene of industry prevails in the pleasant home economics class. High in interest for the girls this year was the sewing of clothes for the younger mem- bers of their families. Busy fin- gers turned colorful materials into gay shirts, frilly blouses. and full skirts. Here Nancy Hoerning guides a steady line of rickrack on a tiny tot's dress. 'rw . I -fe- ' 1 :lb W-.

Contestants in the first row of physics class are check- ing their results in the ex- periment involving the heat of vaporization. Experiments reached unusual interest heights this year as rows competed to see which group could have the least per cent of error. In this experiment the honors for ac- curacy went to the last row, giving a Hrst win to the group. if Expansion Problems 1 Under the direction of the Board of lldu- cation. Santa visited three rooms in the high school over the holidays. leaving a trail of fluorescent lights for Miss Pfund. Miss Kelly. and the study hall. XVhat's moret the pink-cheeked fellow left the promise of fu- ture visits. Lights will be installed in other rooms as soon as the budget permits.

We Take Qur Leave 1 XVith us we take cherished memories of these happy, carefree years-years of change-years of growing pains, of heartbreaks, of rejoicings! During these years we have often slipped the surly bonds of earth and, together with the young poet john Magee, have danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings. We remember that lab hour when I-1-O and H250-3 just didnt mix, and we re- member the thrilling moment of a pep pa- rade.

Wlitm among us will forget the torrid summer of A1955 and the devastating effect of that dreaded crippler polio as it invaded our area! Those weeks of forced inactivity the delay in the opening of school, the fear of the disease-all combined to create frustration relieved only when school bells rang on September 19. How eagerly we met that summons with plans for a happy year.

'l'he blue foots make this dress look terrible? and l just have to have the black clerby to act the part! are ejacula- tions that exemplify the problems of all high school clrgnniis. lic-fore anyone steps foot on the stage the costumes, make-up, and set problems must be solved. Wfho solves these problems? 'l'he many students who are interested in play pro- duction and who are known as the crew. It is possible to say simply that actors act, but to describe the crew's work in one word is an impossibility. Carpenters, electricians, sound effects experts, costume designers, make-up artists, and seamstresses are people represented in this word crew. The busy si- lence of the set on a crew night is often bro- ken by a cry of dismay from a frustrated worker who finds himself unable to finish a job with available supplies. Guided and assisted by Mr. MacGillis, Miss Bubolz, and Miss Loebe, the many pro- duction students bravely faced and success- fully conquered the problems arising in their fields as they prepared the way for the jay Players productions. The NICCDLET ln Drczmatics for Jay Players 1 In the spring the jay Players took to the stage and produced Time Om' For Giu- ger, starring Nona Roesler as Ronald Alex- ander's rugged individualist who literally lives her desire to play football. As the tur- moil heats to the boiling point, however, Ginger suddenly decides to be a lady rather than a halfback. While the M.H.S. stalwarts were tackling dummies in the autumn sunshine, the jay Players tackled Mark Twain's comical satire A Double-Barrelfed Detective Story. The British dialect of the touring Sher- lock Holmes in Americas Wild West provid- ed a challenge for Dick Robinson. The super sleuth found himself embarrassed as he at- tempted to match wits with the local blood- hound Archy Stillman fDarold Eggertj. As the victim made himself unpleasant, the mur- derer, Fetlock jones fDennis Carewj, en- deared himself to both cast and audience by his dramatic sincerity. With words such as these, He'd hunt me down and fetch me back just out O' cussed meaness I he captured the limelight.

This same band becomes a smooth and well-balanced artistic group on the concert stage, featuring high school vocal artists in Cesar Franck's sacred song, The Naiiozfs Prayer, or tonefully presenting Glenn Osser's Begzziize for Band. We might say that our band is a knap- sack of unforgettable keepsakes for those members who spend as much as four to six years grooming themselves for lead chairs. Indelible is their memory of spring music festivals where they demonstrated their promise as concert and marching units and waited hopefully for favorable com- ments from the judges.

Throughout the year busy editors met every three weeks to plan pages, discuss ideas and views, and assign the various articles. Gathering bits of information and news was a daily project for all editors and reporters who became bloodhounds on the scent of a story. The flying fingers of the typists and the sharp eyes of the proofreaders played an important part in the production of this triweekly. Credit for the fine pictures which appeared in the paper goes to our roving staff photographer jim McLaurin who covered events with the eye of a vet- eran camera man. Although Blue jay staffers did not solve a murder, capture a criminal, or force a confession from a crooked politician, these ambitious amateur journalists gained in- valuable experience and self-satisfaction. of 1956 DlSTRlBU'TING THE CORRECT NUMBER of papers to each classroom provides a triweekly job for Dave Maciejew- ski, Joan Bass, Beverly Stumpf, Bonnie Wenzel, and jim Tietz.

The postponement of the Kaukauna game left a relatively green Blue jay team faced with the Neenah Roc- kets as their initial opponent-pretty strong competition in anyones hook. The annual classic, which was the first game for either team, was fought with its usual color and zest. After erasing an early jay lead, the nip-and-tuck battle finally ended with the rivals from across the river taking a 14-7 decision. ' In the following three weeks the Blue 'lays evened the score as they copped im- pressive wins over New London and Sha- wano.

In their next outing the Jays sloushed up and down a rain-soaked field and eked out a 7-6 Homecoming victory over Two Rivers, the winning margin coming on Vic Stenson's successful conversion. Although rain fell during the entire ball game, play- ers and fans alike battled the elements in a highly entertaining contest. Following the narrow victory over the Raiders, the Blue Jays trekked to Clinton- ville for their last game on opponent soil. Here the Jays were simply out-manned, dropping a tough 1810 decision to the league-leading Truckers. Menasha concluded the 1955 grid cam- paign with the Kaukauna Ghosts.

Most of the jay games followed a par- ticular pattern-a pattern dominated by the pressing defense, fast break, and team play. Time after time scrappy guards like Erickson, Nelson, and Pratt passed to the Big Three -Konetzke, Hass, and Sten- son-who put the ball through the hoop. The Jays started out in fine style by de- feating West DePere 51-41. In the first league game they absorbed a defeat at the hands of Shawano, 77-71. A winning skein followed that lasted until they ran head- long into Kimberly. Leading the entire game, the Jays finally fell to the superior fourth quarter shooting of the Paper- makers and took a 63-62 defeat.

In this game the ,lays witnessed their poorest shooting night of the year, going down 65-55. The first game of the regional tourna- ment saw Menasha downing Fond du Lac 76-58. This win set the stage for, perhaps, the best played high school game of the year. Oshkosh, rated No. 1 in the state most of the year, provided the opposition. The teams battled on even terms through- out the entire gameg and when the final horn blew, the Jays had avenged a pre- vious defeat with a 62-61 victory. ln this game Harold Hass established a new nat- ional record for high school, college, and pro basketball by making nineteen consec- utive free throws.

The following year experienced underclass- men like Bob Osiewalski, Bill Hutchins, Don Ifmerich, Tom Hyde, Dick Hinz, and Gerhald Hansel put Menasha on the map as a track power.

Extending their winning streak, the Menasha squad really stepped out in the conference meet and brought home the bacon. In the process Bill Hutchins and Bob Osiewalski broke previous conference marks in the 440 and high and low hurdles, respectively. The next week in the district meet at Ripon the Blue Jays again took first place, qualifying five boys in eight events for the state finals.

Current officers were respon- sible for a well planned pep assembly and a novel float which won honorable mention in the pep parade. Sports chair- men scheduled games and made com- plete arrangements for time, scorers, referees, and equipment.
