HE LARGEST class to graduate from the Menomonee Falls High School gf entered in the year 1920, with an enrollment of thirty ambitious and talented members. im T On the morning of September 8, 1920, when the clang of the nine o'clock bell was heard, an awe-stricken group of poor little freshmen were seen standing at the door of the Colonial Hall, wondering what the future four years held in store for them. This frightened group was patiently waiting for some member to pick up sufficient courage to lead the crowd into the building: but sad to say, no one came, and the poor Freshmen were beginning to despair, when up piped a supposed-to-be modest little, Veronica Held, of course, Aw, come on, maybe it ain't so bad after all. The most that they can do is to kill us. With her skillful leadership the Freshmen shyly entered the unknown with twenty-six strong, or, more truth'fully, twenty-six weak, judging by their manner, they crept up the stairs, making hardly a sound. They entered the Assembly. The hum and confusion suddenly ceased, and all the upper classmen gazed down on them: It was then that the heart of every Freshman dropped down, down, down, until it must have settled somewhere between the sole of his shoe and the floor. When the second bell rang there was a general scramble for seats. Spying a few vacant ones in the corner, the Freshmen dashed for them, running into the upper classmen, but finally succeeding in their great effort. After finding seats and recovering from the initiations we began to look for a motto to look up to, which was, Fit-Via-Vi fEnergy Wins the Wayl. Athletics seemed to be our taste for all through the battles we held up our end. A few members of the Freshmen class dropped out, either to enter the business world or to remain at home. Those to leave us were Marie Schuster, Harvey Schultz, Arnold Droese, Wilson Baer and Erna Kuphall. The Sophomore year proved to be more successful for now'all were acquainted with high school methods of instruction, and, more important, there was no longer the fear of upper classmen. During this year fame came to those who entered contest work. Some took part in athletics and club work. This year our class was in- creased with five new members, Saraphina Scopp, Ruby Muzzy, Esther and Stella Worth, and Vera Holmes. We also lost Hve members: Norma Haaschke, LeRoy Obermann, Lavera Leicht and Marion Uebele. When that memorable year came to a close, each Sophomore felt that he had earned a vacation and the right to be called a Junior. At the beginning of the Junior year, the trial of becoming accustomed to new teachers was not presented to us for they all had returned.: Three were welcomed to this lively group, namely, Franz Schneider, John Harmon, and Edward Unger. We also lost a member during this session, who was Edna Jensen. The Juniors felt that they were real society men and women at one of the well-remembered events, the Junior-Senior banquet. They began to assume more dignity at the close of this year, for were they not soon to be Seniors. On the morning of the opening day of school, September ll, 1923, a very happy group of Seniors were assembled in the corridors relating to their friends their pleasures. When the last bell had rung the Seniors proudly occupied the seats of the former Senior classes and they sincerely tried to act the part of dignified Seniors. Of course, it is left to the rest of the school as to whetherlor not they were success- ful in this attempt. Although we lost five members: Ruby Muzzy. Lorraine Zessin, Daela Buczkowski. Esther and Stella Worth, we also welcomed one new member, Irene Klug. Page Tlwrnly 3 , V? .. ,.. With the remaining group of this ambitious class we are preparing for the close of our High School career. We have worked with earnestness to get where we are and will close with the following activities: Baccalaureate Sermon, Class Day Ex- ercises and Commencement Exercises, which will be the final occasion in which the class will work as a whole. Since the members of this class have co-operated very well and have been suc- cessful until the end, encountering many joys and pleasures which the past four years have brought to us, we hope and wish to meet and to be of assistance to those close and friendly class members who have been so successful and earnest to graduate, Franz Schneider, '24. - Class Prophecy It is a very still evening tonight-splendid for radio broadcasting. All radios are tuned in to listen to Zion City, the Utopia of this universe. The prophet Jupiter is about to broadcast the future of the graduating class of 1924. Stand by and listen to the prophet. In our paths of life we are bound, where eler we are, or what e'er we do, to look into the future. Therefore, to the best of my knowldge and ability, I shall prephesy the future of my class mates. lihe first member is Russell Perrin,who has been class president for the past two years. The future has many things in store for him. He shall be the pilot of one of the largest air hubmobile of this earth, which will be greater than the Shenendoah. One trip that will be most sucessful is the flight to the Greenwich Follies, at the Davidson Theatre. Far out in the Golden West near a secluded town in Idaho, Edwin Last wlll be one of the foremost ranchmen on a one-half acre tract of land. Later he will build an animal gym for the training of wild goats, monkeys and Kangaroos. After many years of toil and labor in VVisconsin, Edward Unger will go in partnership with Mr. Last. Mr. Unger and Last will then promote the wonderful Last and Unger Circus Company, which will visit annually the cities of Sussex, Whiskey Corners, Friestadt, and Couberg. On Lake Street in New City is situated one of the largest hospitals of the United States. In this institution our classmate and friend, Irine Klug will be employed. She will tnake an ideal nurse because of her quiet disposition, jovial face and kind ways. Following several years' of employment in caring for the sick, she will marry a prominent doctor of Chicago. Several blocks distant from this hospital in New York City is a millinery shop. On the outside is a sign which reads as follows: Spanish Millinery Shop--Madam Lurena Leicht. Miss Heicht is famous,for the art of making fancy hats for thc Spaiiish dancers in Spain.. She will receive the pricely sum of five hunderd dollars per at. The next eminent person in order is john Harmon. John will labor on the fann until 'the age of twenty-one. Then he shall migrate to the Hawaiin Islands, where he shall be the proprietor of the largest tobacco package of that country. In that precinct Harman will be known as John the Giant Tobacco Chewer. He will be awarded different gold metals at smoking and chewing contests. Gertrude Loos is the next prominent member. At the conservatory at Paris, France, Miss Loos will be seen striking the famous elephant tusks of the twenty million dollar organ for the benefit of the Royal Family of France. She will receive fame and praise from all parts of the world. At the age of thirty she will be married to a handsome violin master of Venice. After their honeymoon they will reside at the Hague until the uproar of the dykes. 5 'QW F Page T-'wenty-om' . 1' 'ai ul 'VI Wall Street in Chicago is at present a good monument in history .... Kenneth Lckhardt will be one of the greatest financiers of the twentieth century. Kenneth Eckhardt was always fond of the opposite sex and he will be wedlocked to john D. Rockefellers' granddaughter of Merton at the age of fifty blooming years. At San Francisco, California, lllyrtle Schultz and Mabel Tietz the Tanglefoot Flypaper Twins will be engaged in learning the professions of actresses, under the coach Charlie Chaplin. One of their favorite acts will be The Dance of the Irishmen by the drama writer, jackie Coogan. Following several years of acting Bobbie Myrtle will marry her employer Charlie Chaplin. They will live in a bird cage on High Cactus Street, Love Me Still, California. Cupid will also dance across Mabels path. She will be married to Rufus Red, the king of the Danes, who is ten years her junior. Their permanent settlement will be in a wooden shoe, standing on the back porch of a Dutch batchelors' home in Argintina, South America. ln the presidential campaign of 1936, Annette Zink will be one of the six candidates running for that office. She will be the first woman who will be set up on the banana split party. The Gods will all turn to her, and the office of the first lady of the land will be bestowed upon her at zero degrees Centigrade. One of the most im- portant measures that will be hair amendment which will be ln this world of ours, we country. John Fredericks, Esq passed during her administration will be the bobbed passed in 1947. shall need men who will enforce the laws of this will, in the near future, attain the high rank of judge of the Supreme Court of China. At the zenith of his popularity, he shall be exiled from the country because he has practiced the laws of China by a dictionary instead of the law book. Although john will be popular with the maidens of China, he will not fall directly in love with them. He shall remain a batchelor. Ten years from now, Roy Schuler, the genius of his class, will be the pastor of a large congregation in El Paso, Texas. One of the most important sacred events that Rev. Schuler will perform will be the marriage of llfliss Vera Holm, the Toe-dancer, to Lee Counsell, a sailor on the Spanish Main, on February 29,l956. Rev. Schuler fears no man for he shall always walk in the path of righteousness, and practice what he preaches to best of his belief. Hildegarde Ludwig, another prominent member of this class, will be a famous singer, having the equal voice power of Galli-Curci. In the events of her profession she will tour in many countries but mainly in Greece, Germany ,Russia, and Scotland. At the singing contest in Scotland, she will be awarded first place in singing My Hearts in the Highlands. Loraine Paul was always very popular with the opposite sex, and she will remain popular until some future day when she will elope with a wealthy crockery broker. The class of '24 will turn out into the world one of the greatest girl athletes-known to us as Sis . Sis will enter many golf and tennis combats. She will be the Champion tennis player of Wisconsin, and in the near future will be sent to the tournament at Dover, England, for the VVorld Championship. Franz Schneider, who was always a very ambitious lad, will reach the height of success in later years. By profession he shall be an agent for the Du Pont Powder Company. He shall canvass all the drug stores and beauty parlors selling this wonderful product. Good luck to you, Franz, and may you meet a flapper to help advertise your product. Edna Zahnow is another prominent members' of the Class of 1924. Edna always wished to be a Latin teacher. Her wish will be granted and at the school of achieve- ment, she shall learn the meanings of Platus, Horace's Odes, Cicero's Letters, Ovid, - ' H - Page Twenty-tfwo and Livy. Her mind will be so greatly developed, that she will impart some of her Latin phonics to the Latin Kindergarten Students. Buster Buczkowski, the young gentleman who has a wonderful sense of taste for good things to eat, shall be a chef in a hotel in the jungles of Africa. Some of Buster's favorite dishes for the tables will be, Chop Suey, Saurkraut, Spaghetti, and Bird-nest soup. In this hotel he will not be employed very long, for he has vast longings for being a comedian at Chatauquas. Edward Bartelt, known by his ficticious name of Hicky , will be a great boxer in the state of Mississippi. Some of the boxing matches that will be staged will be the Bartelt-Dempsey fight, in which the victor will be Hicky. All the country will rejoice over the marvels of this young combater, and a tin trophy will be awarded to him by the President of the United States. Last but not least, is an auburn haired maiden, who answers to the name of Anita. Anita will have so many wonderful opportunities confronting her that it is hard for .ie to say what she will be. But to my estimation she will remain a good young lady, who acts as the world wants her to act, and become one of the leading Society wom-en of Chicago. Seeing that the time has passed so quickly, and the bells are about to ring for the close of my broadcasting program, I shall say adieu to my classmates, and as I depart into the heavens, I wish them the best of success in all their future undertakings. May this wish follow the motto, FIT 'VIA Vl , to the end. i i Class Will c is AST W'ill and Testament of the Senior Class of 1924, of the Menomonee gg Falls High School, of the Village of Menomonee Falls, in the County of Waukesha, and the State of Wisconsin, made and published this twenty- X it eighth day of hlay, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty-four. VVe, the graduating class off 1924, being mentally and physically capable, having endured the four years required to become of age, and considering the uncertainty of this new, perilous life, do therefore make, ordain, publish and declare the follow- ing to be our Last VVill and Testament. Being of generous and noble nature, we have collected under perilous efforts, a great mass of valuables, which now, in these last moments of our four-year life, we bequeath to those who are near and dear to us. Our parting wish is that the funeral services be conducted with proper pomp and and ceremony and that the underclassmen dress in black to signify their deep sorrow over the loss of such a noble and respected class. The enormous estate, which has taken us four long years to amass, we now be- queath as follows: First-To Principal A. VV. Peck, we leave a new pair of rubber heels to be placed on his shoes so that he will be able to enter the Assembly Room or the Library without attracting the attention of the student body. Second-To our beloved teachers we leave our famous test papers, to be speci- mens of superhuman knowledge. Third-To Miss Fehlhaber, the Latin Class leave all their ponys-may she cnjov them as much as they did. Fourth-To Miss Mac Queen, the English class leave an extra-sized compass in order that she may make more perfect zeroes. Fifth-To Mr. Bartholemew, we leave our lively, talkative ways, may he use them when meeting the ladies. Page Twenty-lhrrr Sixth-To hfliss Pardee, we bequeath our great patience with the teachers- may she use it to great effect with the students. Seventh-To Mr. Hawtry, we bequeath a nerve restorer, to be used as soon as he receives the bottle. He surely needs it after four months with the Physiology Class. Eighth-To our successors, the present Juniors, we leave the best that is in us--our perseverance and great ability to study. You will surely need it. N inth-To the Sophs: We bequeath to you our extensive knowledge df Modern History. Yo-hoo,Napo1con. Tenth--To the Frosh: We suggest that one cup of strong coffee, without sugar, be drunk before entering the Geometry Class, as a nerve restorer. Eleventh-The following are a few personal bequests of the late class of '2-1: 1. Arthur Konrad is allotted the voluminous vocabulary of John Harmon. Great things can be expected from Arthur. 2. Edwin Last leaves his musical ability to anyone who will accept it. 3. Lurena Leicht gladly leaves her height to Norma Nemitz. 4. To Adela Huberty, Vera Holm leaves her sunny disposition and Loraine Koehler her bashfulness. 5. Buster Buczkowski leaves his private collection of zeroes to Evalyn Hillman. Marks aren't worth much nowa-days. 6. Annette Zink leaves her lively, ambitious ways to Carl Mueller. May he profit by them. 7. Edward Bartelt leaves his drag with the faculty to Albert Brandenburg. . Lee Counsell leaves his smooth, suave manner to Adolph Becker. . Dorothy Ilenricks is allotted Kenneth Eckhardt's beautiful curves. . John Fredericks leaves his gift of gab to Fern Miller. . Roy Schuler leaves his ability to get into scrapes to Margaret Bezold. . Veronica Held leaves her lovefor the opposite sex to Hilda Herman. Irene Klug gladly leaves her sedateness to Eva Brown. Edna Zahnow leaves her love for Latin to Kathleen Hancock. . Edward Unger leaves his quiet ways to Calvin Fredricks. . Hildegard Ludwig leaves her immense lung power to Gilbert Arnold. . Lorraine Paul relinquishes her ability to evade work to Kathryn Schlafer. Russell Perrin appoints Leonard Joecks as his successor to see that the school is properly managed. 19. lkfyrtle Schultz hands down her popularity to Hattie Tietz. 20. Franz Schneider leaves the appreciation of a well-known brand of cheap, nickel cigars to Willie Kuphall. 21. Mabel Tietz bequeaths her complexion to Dorothy Back. 22. Anita Leicht transfers her shyness to Kathryn Leister. 8 9 10 11 12 13. 14. 15 16 17 18 In witness whereof, we hereunto set our hand and seal this twenty-eighth day of May, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty-four. CSignedJ CLASS OF 1924. On this twenty-eigth day of May, A. D., 1924, the said departed Class of 1921, to us known and known by us, to be their free act and deed, and as witness thereof we have, at their request, in their presence, and in the presence of each other, JOSEPH BRAZY. LOTTIE CONNELL. subscribed our names. Gertrude Lo0S, '24-. Page Twenty-four Class Poem Dear School, farewell! Tomorrow's noon again Shall hide us, drifting along the various paths of fame, But now each one has gained his western road, And Graduation's hour invites our steps abroad. While, near the open door, each graduate stands :And views the past with many a sad and longing glanceg His heart is filled with thoughts of other days When first he viewed these spacious halls with wondering gaze, Thus, while the sun sinks down to rest, Whate'er we dream, with doubt and endless cares possessed Shall prove the future, although far away Is opening for us a wide, extended bay. How pleasant, as the sun declines, to view The broad and widening landscape change in form and hue! Our class, just as a dusty, misty cloud Mounts from the road and spreads its shadowy, moving shroud, Shall turn their eyes to yonder glorious rays And know the promised joys of life's unmeasured waysg Truth and mercy yet shall find a home, As through bewildered paths we all are wont to roam. ,Ahl we must pass these joys for a nobler life Where we must find the many agonies, the strife Of human heartsg for lol we see afar Our long-sought goal, which beckons like a glimmering star. Vera Holm and Edna Zahnow, '24-. Class Song QTuneJ WHISPERING HOPE. List to the memory of school days, Breathing of lessons we've learned: Oft with a gentle persuasion, Oft with a comforting word. Now when the school days are over, Now when the lessons are done, Hope for the sunshine tomorrow, After the classmates are gone. Refrain: Menomonee High, Oh, how I love thy voice, Making my heart in its memories rejoice. If in the days that are coming, Though we roam ever so ifar, Will not the memories of school days Shine like a glimmering star? Then with this vision before us, Why should the heart sink away? With its soft glow all around us Watch for the breaking of day. Menomonee High, Oh, how I love thy voice, Making my heart in its memories rejoice. John P. Harmon and John H.

Albert Brandenburg, '25.' An Auto Incident XVith the last drops of gasoline gone Herbert Henrich found his machine stalled by the roadside, fully six miles from the village, at three o'cloek in the morning. He was overjoyed when he saw, approaching through the darkness, the glimmer of a lighted lantern. A low rumble soon gave evidence that the light was attached to a wagon drawn by two stout horses. 'I here's a five-spot in it if you tow me into town, hailed Herbert. The man who drove the horses finally consented. They drove for an hour or so and as they approached the village, Herbert called to the man on the wagon seat, Pretty early to be on the road, isn't it ? Yes, the driver returned, but I have to be out early to get all over my route. As Herbert handed out the five dcllar bill, he inquired, What is your business? The driver looked up at Herbert and said, I peddle gasoline in the village. Page Tfwfnty-nine Payf' Thirty L N 1 V Q SOPHOMORE CLASS 'lop Ron-l.. XVhitehe:1dg ll. Starkg D. llulwrtyg I,. Rucktashcl.

L ucille Koch Page Thirly-our English Language We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes. Then one foul is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meese. You may find a lone mouse, or a whole lot of mice, But the plural of house is houses, not hice. If the plural of man is always called men, Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen. The cow in the plural may be cows or kine, But a bow, if repeated, is never called bineg And the plural of vow is vows, not vine. And if I speak of a foot and you show me your feet, And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth, and a whole set is teeth, Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth. If the singular is this and the plural is these, Should the plural of kiss be nicknamed keese? Then one may be that, and three would be those. Yet hat in the plural would never be hose. And the plural of cat is cats, not cose. We speak of a brother and also of brethren, But though we say mother, we never say methren. Then masculine pronouns as he, his and him, But imagine the feminine, she, shis, and shim. So the English I think, you all will agree, Is the most wonderful language you ever did see.

Oh, I didn't mean to have talked aloud, said Melinda. My folks have gone without me and I don't know what to do. Why not let me take you home, said Henry, the gal- lant youth. I'd just love to take you. My car is outside. Oh, I'll go with the greatest of pleasure, said she, with a winning smile. At her door he left her off. But belfore going Henry asked for a l.

An Ode to Algebra It splits my head in schooltime, It makes me rave at night, It's Algebra, dawgonit, That puts me in a plight. The man who invented Algebra, Is one I'd like to see, I'd take him by the collar, And kick him o'er the lea. lt's olften been my desire, To see this man in chains, So I could go and sock him Upon his foolish brains. Some day when I get money, I shall seek the world about: Until I find the certain man And have a mighty bout. My oaths are very thick, And also is my fist: And some day I will use them To knock him full of kinks. My sleep's infested with murders, Of some which I nay can tell: And day I'11 perform them, When time affords me well. Oh, give me the good old spellers, Readin', writin' and others, And if they don't I trow, They'll ne'er again see their mothers. Oh, let me take some whisky, Some good old beer and wine, It'll help me drown my sorrow, Which I cast upon Algebra mine. 'i'5'F?

Librarians A good library and an efficient librarian are assets which any school can be proud of and which prove of great value to the students of the lllenomonee Falls High School and the surrounding community. VVe know that every one has a vital interest in a good library because money is being raised for that splendid purpose. Yes, it sounds good to others if they do not have to do the library work, and why? YVhy just because it means workg but there is an alternative in the fact that the librarians and the students form a liner union of workers. It is just this' that the school is striving for, the library with its very capable head is just one of the units which is trying to do its best. You ask what is the library but a row of books and a table and chairs. No, you are mistaken and badly. It is one of the greatest sources of education known. You know a teacher cannot teach everything, therefore, we know the use of the library. It helps expand our knowledge, and keeps our minds active through its current magazines which are the histories of to-morrow. Page Forty-four OFFICERS Treas. Mrs. VVm. Kochg Pres. Mrs. Ed.

N . Q - G .U g us to or er. is means that everyone should be in his respective seat in the Assembly Room, and the monitors ready to report for roll call. Qf course, it is the most difficult thing in the world for the Seniors to be quiet, as they always seem to have very im- portant business to be taken care of at that particular time. However, as soon as we spy Miss Mac Queen advancing toward us with her proper equipment for taking roll, the business transactions cease immediately, and are postponed indefinitely. Roll is taken in the first two or three rows when we hear a low mumbling in an undertone near the front of the room. bliss Mac Queen immediately glances toward the direction and says, Buster, please turn around and keep quiet until I finish taking the roll. VVhy, I was just asking Lee what our Physics lesson is, and he was looking it up for me. That will do, Buster, I don't want to speak to you again about talking. Roll is now taken, it being Friday, our cheer-leader, Edward Bartelt, rises and faces the Seniors. Qf course, we all understand what he means: promptly we begin- Lious, lions- Hear us roar! Seniors, Seniors- Twentydfour. After this there is a grand hub-bub: everyone talking, and making more noise than the next one. We listen to a few other yells from the various lower classmen: finally deciding that we are capable of making more noise than any other class, which I think no one will deny. VVe now find that it is 9:00 o'clock so we must ransack our desks to find all the books, papers, assignment books U7 pens, pencils, erasers, and all other necewary equipment which is to be taken along to class. Miss Nlac Queen passes us to classes and finds it absolutely necessary to stand exactly beside the door so as to keep us in line, and prevent us from running ahead of each other down the hall. I don't under- stand why they should be so particular about our taking our time, as we are all so anxious to get to class and begin our hard day's work! VVe arrive at the History Room, finding Miss Fehlhaher standing just outside the door slowing down our speed sufficiently enough to allow us to turn in the entrance, stopping us from rushing past. The three rows of chairs are in straight lines across the fioor, and they are just as straight after we are all seated. fYou may use your own imagination about this.D Our History teacher advances to the front of the room without our hearing her, on account of the talking and quarreling about our seating arrangement. Roy Schuler is determined to sit between Myrtle and Mabel, and at the same time the two girls want to sit next to each other. The argument is soon settled when Miss Fehlhaber seats them according to her own desire and wish. She calls 'for order and in about ten minutes we are all fairly quiet. We are told to put aside our Literary Digest and prepare for recitation on the articles assigned us on the day before. Then the fun begins. Naturally, everyone wants to recite at once: and, therefore, before long disorder reigns in the History room. Miss Fehl- haber again calls for order: and finally calls on Vera for information on the subject. As we all know Vera always reads her Literary Digest thoroughly, and is usually ready with a good recitation. Before she has finished we hear a low grumbling and a general dispute. Vera's recitation is concluded, and it is discovered that both Russell and Kenneth disagree greatly with several of her remarks. Our heroine immediately sits up and takes notice, ready to defend her statements in every respect. A Page F orty-seven The topic which is being discussed happens to be concerning the votes for and against the Mellon Tax Reduction Plan. Vera upholds her side in saying that the percentage of votes cast for the plan greatly outnumbered those against it. Russell disagrees with her and remarks brightly, Well, I don't believe thatg I read in last night's paper that the Mellon Plan isn't any where nearly so prominent as it was some time agog the people now are changing their minds considerably and would rather have the Bonus. I got those facts from the Chicago Tribune, and several other good newspapers. VVell, drawls Vera, l'm just telling you what the Digest says about it. Oh, that Digest, it's all bunk. The stuff in there is all way behind the times. I don't believe in it whatsoever. It's nothing but a scrapbook made up of ideas of all the good-for-nothing newspapers in New York, and some more of those places. They expect us to believe all that is published in that little, dinky magazine. It is now that Miss Fehlhaber rises up to put a stop to the argumentg and tries to tell liussell of the value of the Digest, but to no avail. He practically closes his ears to it and maintains his own rude opinion of it. Annette is next called on for contributions and additions to what has already been given. lt is now that Russell turns side-wise in his chair, leans his head on his hand and gazes out of the window. He prepares for a few minutes rest while Annette recites a few hundred words in a continual How. By the time a few more people such as Irene, Hfldegard, Gertrude and john H., have had a chance to express their opinions the first bell rings, and we gather up our belongings in order to be ready to pass to our next class, Physics, as soon as the next bell rings. A shrill sound tells the History class that it is time to vacate and move on to the next class. Instead of going down both flights of steps as every one else does, Buster swings himself over the railing and lands down at the second Hight. This shows how ambitious he is and how anxious to get to Physics class. When we arrfve at our next station an altogether different procedure takes place. Mr. Peck casts a side-wise glance at his class which means, Be quiet. 'I he demon- strations combined with recitations deal with the subject of electricity. Our famous demonstrators and experimenters perform several interesting demonstrations including the receiving of electrical shocks by touching heavily charged objects. When Mr. Peck asks for suggestions as to :1 way of insulating the wires in an electric flat- iron, John Fredricks is ready with a fine suggestion of using sealing wax. He won- ders why the class roars until Russell remarks, Why don't you use butter or some- thing like that ? After Physics class is over we have two free periods which are spent to very good advantage. Everyone has plenty of work to be done, and the time between l0:30 and 12:00 o'clock seems very short. We all come to the conclusion that we have earnestly earned a good dinner when Miss Pardee dismisses us at noon. The afternoon session is begun with a study period. If we Seniors have nothing else to do we sit watching the Freshmen go through some of their foolish, every-day procedures. Of course, our Latin must be prepared as well as the English lesson. There are usually a few minutes left to go to the library. Soon the 2:00 o'clock bell rings and we gather up our Three Centuries of American Poetry and Prose 1 our Latin books, note books, and all the other necessary apparatus. We hardly get the class room door closed behind us when the tardy bell rings. As there are only ten members in the Latin II class no special nor permanent seating is required, although there are but few who have anything but a temporary seat. Buster is not allowed to sit in the back row: Vera must not sit within three chairs of Russellg and Edward ard Lee must be separated by a few chairs. Lorraine Paul and Lorraine Koehler have always been fortunate enough to maintain their original places. Although there are only ten Latin II students, this doesn't, however, Page Forty-eight , ag, indicate that we are an exceptionally quiet class, as Miss Fehlhaber always insists that we make more noise than the other classes. The first person to talk is Buster Buczkowskig he usually has several interesting incidents to relate to the class before the recitations begin. Now, Buster, didn't you hear the tardy bell ring? You know very well that that means you are all to settle down and get ready for work, snaps Miss Fehlhaber. I hardly said a wordg you never scold anybody elseg it's only me always. I get all the blame, returns our hero. No wonder, nobody else ever gets a chance to talk when you're around, remarks Veronica. Now, let's stop fooling and get to work, again commands our instructress. We will have a little vocabulary drill first of all today. Russell, what is the meaning of the Latin word, Perrumpere ? Oh, that must mean a pair of rompersf' No, no, no, you're 'way off. It's a verb which means, to break through. After a few minutes of vocabulary drill we begin to translate a chapter of ' Caesars Commentaries. Miss Fehlhaber then asks, Roy, is the verb, Facia, in the present tense ? Sure. Don't say 'sure' to me, young mang that only shows your home training. Buster is ready with, Schupp, you talk like as if you ain't got no brought up. Soon we notice both Russell's cheeks sticking out as if he has the worst tooth- ache imaginable. Miss Fehlhaber suspects and pops the question, Russell, are you eating candy P Russell Chardly able to open his mouthj says, No, ma'am. Now, don't tell me anything like that! Get rid of that candy immediately: and remem-ber every time I catch anyone chewing gum or candy in my class, it means a zero for the day for that person. Soon the bell rings and we prepare to continue our journey to the English class. Usually Miss Fehlhaber is obliged to call our attention to leaving, in order to remind some of the interesting members of our class to St01P' acting foolish and be on their way to English. All the way to class we finish eating the candy which has been passed around at the end of the last period. It must be understood that it must be gotten rid of by the time we step inside the English room. The room is perfectly quiet within two minutes after we enter. Miss Mac Queen is seated at her desk and continually glances at the other occupants of the room to make sure that they are not doing anything they ought not to. We begin the recitation on the life and works off some very noted American writer. Our instructor calls upon our friend, Hildegard, to read and explain a certain stanza of a poem. It is such a shock to our heroine that she accidentally drops her powder and rouge compact, which ac- companies her to English class every day. , Several other people are called upon to give recitations and receive their good mark for the day. At the end of the period Miss Mac Queen realizes how bright her English IV students are and lets us know by saying, Most of the people did very good work today. Edward Bartelt, John Harmon, Edwin Last, Franz Schneider, and several other exceptionally bright students immediately sit up and take notice, feel- ing as proud as peacocks. Soon the waming bell rings and Miss Mac Queen proceeds to assign the next day's lesson. Of course, everyone gets out his assignment book UD and takes down the next day's lesson and all the necessary information. By this time the passing bell rings and we proceed to the Assembly Room. It is now 3:30 and time to indulge in outside activities until 4:00 or 4:15. I'm sure that everyone will agree with the Seniors that they have more work than any other class in the Menomonee Falls High School. Edna Zahnow, '24. Page Forty-nine Getting Even With Hadley gnu' I MEAN just what I said. I refuse to ride today. Trixie stamped her ET 'M foot angrily and turned a pair of wrathful eyes toward the man before her. Now, see here, Trix. You've got to ride. What kind of show will ' A this be if all the stars get block-headed ? I'm not going to ride. That settles it. I'm tired of risking my neck for your benefit. NVe actors haven't had a salary for the last twelve weeks and the food is unfit to eat. The whole crowd is on the war path. You know it. But you're scared to face the music now, she added with a sneer. Listen to reason, can't you ? the manager exclaimed impatiently, his face purpling with rage. You'll get your wages-every cent. Goodness knows, I've written to Blaine often enough. You must have a little patience with a fellow who is down on his luck. Patience for another three months? Not much, she broke in sarcastically. The short, well-built man moved a trifle closer. Blaine promised to square up as soon as possible, and- You give me a pain, Hadley, Trix snapped. Talk about something sensible. I'm sick of those sugared promises. I absolutely refuse to perform until I'm paid. So saying she snatched her hat that lay at her feet, and turned to go. Wait a minute, Hadley called after her. If Blaine doesn't show up pretty soon, I'1l sell the whole works. Give it another chance, Trix--just one. No, thanks. Bum excuses hold no chains for me, she replied. NVhy didn't Blaine stay here and take care of his old show? Of course, he had to go to Cali- fornia for his health and take all the cash with him. Oh, well, we're having a good time risking our necks to keep things going. With a shrug of her shoulders she added, It wasn't our fault that Bert got hurt and had a big hospital billg and rainy weather spoiled the parade andlv Haven't you any sense ? Hadley cried. f'You're bound to ruin me now. You're going riding tonight, do you hear? I'll use force if necessary, understand ? He caught her by the arm and shook her roughly. Really? You don't say, spitefully. VVell, it won't do you much good to act that way. I'll get even with you for this. I'll bust up the show if necessary. I'm sick of this outfit, and I'1l make you wish you were rid of it, too, before long. Hadley shrank from the glare of her bold eyes. Then, with a saucy smile, she disappeared among the wagons and tents. In her rage she took no notice of her surroundings. Moodily she leaned against one of the wagons. A tall, handsome fellow, about twenty-five years of age, aff.- proached. His boyish smile had already won him many friends. Hello, Trix, he called cheerfully, What has gone wrong? Trix looked up suddenly. She knew she was not in the mood to speak to anyone, but Roy was always sympathetic. Everything I'm leaving, she answered shortly. Roy rumpled his tumlbled mass of curls as he always did when he was deeply puzzled. Too bad, honey, leaving. Forget it. It's not worth worrying over. I quit and I'm leaving. I had a fight with Hadley again. I'm tii'ed of wait- ' 1, ing-- So you are really in earnest? I'm through with this outfit. I hope the whole show goes to the blazes. XVhy do you stay, Roy ? VVell, I'vc been thinking of quitting this life, the young man spoke in hushed Page Fifty -.ww-lypvv . - --V. tones, while stroking the girl's red hair. But you see, Trix, I was planning on taking you with me. I can't do that until I get my wages. I know, Roy, the girl answered, twisting the ring on her finger. Trix, give Hadley another chance. It's tough on a fellow who is down on his luck. H'e means to do right by us. I know he will make good. He's had bad lucky that wasn't his fault either, so-- You can all side in with him. if you like. I hope I never see this blame show again. Here, take your ring. Hereafter, I'll buy my own rings. Like a flash she was gone. Trix rushed into the women's dressing room tent. She all but collided with her fellow companions, but she turned a deaf ear to their astounded questions. In awe they viewed the Hushed girl before them. Soon the contents of Trix' worn trunk were scattered about her. Hatefully, she Hung the tiny, red, berufiled, and beribboned performing gown against the chair. A hasty toilet followed. She was arrayed in her shabby street clothes and worn hat in a short time. Gathering her few possessions, she walked to the door. Thus far she had totally ignored everyone else. What's up, one of the girls queried. I'm leaving, came the abrupt answer. Leaving? Oh, Trix, why? the women cried in unison. Why, the girls laughed bitterly, Haven't I worked long enough without a thank you? It's foolish for you to stay. Blaine must be having a good timeg he doesn't seem to be in a great hurry to get back. does he ? But, Trix, he's sure to come soon, and besides you don't know much about any- thing else than a circus and you'll find it-in Oh, you ring off. I'm no child. You'll never get any wages if you act that way. Without another word she was gone. Rather rapidly she wended her way toward the public highway. As she neared the boundaries of the circus lots, a uniformed boy accosted her. He asked for Hadley saying he had a telegram for him. With a little persuasion Trixie convinced him that she would deliver it properly. An idea had flashed into her mind. Why not steal the telegram? Possibly this was the message Hadley had expected from Blaine. For a moment she stood undecidedg then, she opened the wrist bag and stuffed the letter into it. l'll get even with Hadley yet by keeping this message. Thereupon she promptly forgot about it. The road was very dusty and Trix was indeed grateful when she reached the trolley. The distance to the city seemed remarkably short. Noon saw her strolling aimlessly about in a strange city. Rather discouraged, 'but still resolute, she purchased a newspaper. Selecting names from the Help VVanted column, she began making inquiries. Everywhere the positions seemed to be already filled. Finally at two o'clock Trix appeared in the waiting room of a large telephone Company. She was not one who had come to answer the advertisement. The oflice boy smiled wisely as he led her to the chief's office. Trix felt rather than beheld, sharp eyes examining her as she entered. The manager motioned her a chair and turned toward her. Have you ever worked at a switchboard? I mean worked in a telephone office ? was the first question. Yes, I have, Trix responded. I worked at a switchboard about five months, but that was three years ago. I understand. Hlave you any recommendations from your last employer ? UNO Y, Where did you work or didn't you work before this ? I've been traveling with circuses and shows of that nature as long as I can re- member. Three years ago one of the outfits went bankrupt, so I worked in a telephone Page Fifty-one ottice. Ilwas there until I joined the Blaine Wonder World. Trix was beginning to like him immensely. His smile helped to drive away the uneasiness. I think we can use you. The job is only temporary, so you can try to find another place in the meantime. One of the girls was suddenly taken sick, and we need someone to take her place for a few weeks. I'll try. I'd like to have you begin immediately. Rose will help you until you become better acquainted with the work. jimmy, talze this young lady to Rose. Rose was a splendid, pleasant, kind-hearted girl. Trix liked her almost at once. Come here, Miss Carson, she called. I'll get you started, you've had experience, haven't you? I told Mr. Hugos not to engage a beginner because it takes so long to teach them. In a short tinte, Trix was interested in her new work, and the two girls were chattering like two old friends. Trix learned that Rose had been employed by Mr. Hugos the past thk years and was the best paid operator in the concern. At five thirty, the girls left the office together. Trix was to stay with Rose for the present. Rose's mother treated her kindly. Trix became a great favorite with the junior members of the household, because she could do so many stunts and turr somersalts. She's the firstest girl what could turn somersets and play decent with a fellow, Harry announced to his mother. Never-the-less a homesick feeling was tearing at the hearstrings of the little circus rider. She missed the usual noise and tumult of her childhood occupation more than she wished herself to believe. With an inward sigh she remembered the kind deeds of her friends, most of all Roy's ardent protection, but bitterness over-ruled her when she thought of Blaine and his blame show. The morning was well urder way when jimmy hurried into the room. He came directly to Rose and handed her the paper he carried. Trix, noticing the interruption, turned abruptly. Large black letters in heavy type stared at her. 'Ihe news quite overcame her. She did not know if it would be proper to weep or beam with new found happiness. Jimmy saved the situation by pointing a finger at the headlines and exclaiming earnestly, What do you know about that. Ever hear of a circus going on the strike? I sure do hope so, he added. I I didn't know you were such a bird when it came to a circus, jimmy, Rose re- plied. Maybe things will be all right. I'm sure I didn't know circus people had brains enough to know about strikes. During the course of the day, Trix thought about the move her circus friends had taken. She reasoned porperly that they had done right. Never-the-less, Roy's last words seemed to ring in her ears, Maybe you have the wrong impression of Hadley. During the eventful afternoon, Rose again spoke of the circus strike. I know we kids run for miles every time a circus came to town, so- Hello, Yes. Long distance ?-Rush it ?-of course, I always do- Hardley-Oh, please spell it. Yes- H-A-D-L-E-Y-. Yes, l'll try. Rose turned her attention to the notes before her on the bank. A Say Miss Carson, what do you think has happened? The circus hands are striking. The manager a Mr. Hadley, something or other, wants the police right away. He's frantic about it because there is a big show scheduled for tonight and the foreign laborers are wrecking the whole thing. The guy sure is in some mess out there. Hello-Police Department. Trix heard no more. She had not fully realized what a strike among the Greek and Italian laborers might mean. As if by shere fate, she thought of the unread telegram in her purse. aw? Page Fifty-t-wo Quickly she slipped from her stool and sped to the dressing room. She never knew how her bag and the envelop were openedg but she never could forget the few for- bidding words on the bit of yellow paper. J, Hadley. Keep down the riots if possible. Coming with cash. Will square up debts. Arriving Tuesday. R. U. Blaine. Trix sank to the floor in bewilderment. What had ever prompted her to steal, yes, steal-that telegram? It was strange that she had entirely forgotten to open it before. Resolutely she scribbled a note to Rose, telling her friend of her relations to the strikers and the laborers and her reason for her departure from the office. With great haste she put on her hat and coat, gave the note to little Jimmy, and rushed from the building. Time passed rapidly and it took so long to reach the circus grounds. Trix knew- truly realized for the first time in her life that the entire responsibility rested on her shoulders. lt would be an impossibility 'for any police force to break the strike, but the sight of Blaine and his telegram might help. If only Blaine was there. With thanks Trix realized that it was the promised day-Tuesday. No sooner had the car rounded the corner and the circus grounds came in sight than Trix sprang from it. She could not recall how she reached the scene of the strike. One thing was simple. When the foreigners beheld Trix, fantically strug- gling with a mixture of languages and waving a bit of paper, they stopped right where they were. Trix was a great favorite among the laborers. In fact, she was regarded as a great and good spirit. Breathlessly, she called the leaders by name and explained the situation. Ferdinando. Look at this. Blaine sent it. Listen, friends. Forget your evil thoughts. Blaine's coming. Yes, he's coming and he'll pay everyone of you. He no coming. He no can pay. We strike, a few of the men answered. No, no. He's coming to-day. To-day, friends. He'll pay you all, yes everyone of you. Wait only a short time. Now, get to work. We'll have the show anyway tonight. Trix would have shouted a few words more but her voice and lung power gave out. It had completely exhausted her. The foreigners cheered and blessed the little rider before them, surely this favorite spoke the truth. Hadley, Roy, and a few other of the girl's dearest friends rushed to the scene. They all halted when they saw Trix among the unreasonable strikers. When they recovered the women surrounded her, covering her with kisses, while they exclaimd their joy over her return. Hadley came forward ordering them to prepare for the evening's performance. Trix promised to come to the tents, so in a very short time she found herself alone on the spot where the strikers had been a short time ago. With a new light in her eyes she went to the tent. A hand touched her arm. As she turned, an arm passed around her waist and a kiss fell on her cheek. I suppose you're satisfied now, aren't you? I guess you're even with Hadley now, only not in the way you expected to get even with him. Oh, Roy, d0n't, I'm too excited to think, the girl panted. I'll think for you, Trix. You missed the circus and me while you were gone, didn't you? Yes, a little, Trix admitted, I'm glad to get back, Roy. I didn't think and still don't think that I'm made for the outside world. My place is right here. No, I guess we'd better stay here until we are able to go together just you and I. Is this a bargain ? . She answered with a winning smile. 'HP' Page Fifty-thru Never Again It was the night before Hallowe'en, when Edward Unger decided to play some boyish pranks in his neighborhood. He decided to scare everybody in Lannon and so got a sheet and dressed as a ghost. He intended to go over to the home of Franz' Schneider first. When he was about a half block from the house, he saw Franz go into the barn. Creeping slowly on his stomach he went under the kitchen window to see if there was anyone at home. He had just barely got there when Mrs. Schneider appeared. Seeing Edward, she grabbed a pail of dish water and threw it all over Unger. Edward, being com- pletely drenched, decided to go into the barn and dry, entirely forgetting that Franz was still within. Franz seeing him come, thought him to be one of his father's white cows. So he took a fork and stuck him, saying, Get in there, you bum. This was too much for poor Unger, so he ran home howling like a dog all the way. When Franz found out that it was not a cow, he went into the house and told his mother what had occurred. She then told him how she met the stranger and both had a hearty laugh. Neither Franz nor his mother knew what the strange ghost was until the following morning when Edward drove past Schneider's place standing up in the car and groan- ing something. Little Edward was through with Hallowe'en tricks for life, for he had ruined his best pair of pants and had to stand up while sleeping for the next two weeks following. Albert Brandenburg, '25. A Budding Romance fTime 1926J ,,:i I- WO former students of the M. F. H. S., namely, Dorothy Back and Herbert Eg' 3 Henrich, were very cute, though each had an awful blemish, being exception- ally shy and bashful. No one could seemingly understand why, but Dorothy - 'M loved him dearly. Often you could see them in a peculiar mood, pondering over the question, How can we overcome our bashfulness ? One dark night when Herbert was coming down Third Street with his old Dodge, he saw his opportunity. He put on the brakes and made the car come to a complete stop, for right there on the same street was Dorothy! Will you ride with me, Dorothy? he asked shyly. QYou see it was dark and neither one saw the other one blush., After ten or fifteen minutes Herbert opened the conversation by asking, Isn't this an ideal night for a spin ? Dorothy could be heard saying, Y-yesf' After this eventful night they became better acquainted and were often seen in each other's company. Herbert thought Dorothy was a charming young lady, and asked for a date to the Wisconsin Theater. ' She said, I will if mother consents. They went out together so much after that that the springs in the car were soon worn out. But true love never runs smoothly-for one night at the show he flirted with another beautiful lady. This developed into a real scrap. Later Herbert vowed that he would never do it again, and Dorothy was quite willing to forget the past. After several bashlful attempts, he finally managed to pop the question C you see she was so shocked, she consentedl and they were married in June, and lived happily ever after, HVXZEL JOECKS, '26, 'QP' Page Fifty-four Some Combination One day in june Calvin went to the printing office to have a bit of news put into the paper. You can, of course, guess that it was about his wedding feast. But it happened that the editor had had something better to drink than water, and as he had an auction to advertise at that time also, he got the two mixed and this is what became of the two :- A happy auction took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Becker as they had their daughter tied to Calvin Fredricks with a sixty foot rope. Rev. Gilbert Arnold had the wedding ceremony and was at the same time auctioneer. After the ceremony the happy couple went to the barn, where fresh cows were served with hay. For dessert they had ice-cream which was sprinkled with clover seeds. After having enjoyed the evening in the pigs pen, they got ready for their honey moon. Calvin said he'd cut the buttons off his coat and put them into the pocket. It won't be so heavy then, he said to his wife. fOf course Calvin always had such bright ideasj. The great morning of their honey moon arrived. They started on their trip in a baby crriage. But on the way this broke down, so they had to continue the journey in a wheel barrow. They passed many brick yards and Calvin thought sure he was seeing some of the Great Yellow Stone Park. This trip was remembered by both Marie and Calvin. We are all sure they will have a happy future. MATHILD.A Dmrkrcu, '27 A Senior Mr. Schuler is a Senior boyg Who goes by the well known name of Roy.

Nearly all the girls are members of this organization, by paying a small fee which is used to help pay expenses. The awociation has not been so active this year as in the past years, as most of the girls were new players. Nevertheless, by the end of the season the Girls' Team was doing splendid work. Although we did not emerge as victors, we were consoled by the fact that we played clean, square games. As most of the girls will still be here next year year, we can look forward to a team, that will run off victoriously. Letters were presented to the girls having played the required number of games, as a reward for their work and efforts.

Pagf Sixty-our Basket Ball Games O THTIQ call for basket ball material about twenty-five men reported, among keen competition for this place, and after a few games Whitehead was select- ed to fill it. From the first day on the floor work began in earnest. Shortly afterwards the squad was cut to fifteen. Coach Bartholomew then started to teach the fellows the essential poin-ts of 'basket ball and above all the necessity of good co- operation and team work. At a meeting held prior to the first game Russell Perrin was elected captain. The Hrst game was played at West Bend on Nov. log the boys not being used to a small floor, could not get sta-rted, consequently the game ended I0 to 2 in VVest Bend's favor. Nov. 23 found our boys at Pewaukee, and in a very loose and ragged game suc- ceeded in taking the game by a score of 13 to 8. The first two games showed very little team work which was caused by a great deal of jealousy. A meeting was held by the boys in which they agreed that the captain should have all authority on the floor. A feeling of good fellowship con- sequently developed and from then on our team was a whirlwind, losing only one game the rest of the season. The next game was held here against the strong Milwaukee University team on Nov. 30. The purple and white warriors playing a very good offensive game, rolled up a total of 38 points to their opponents' 21. Things were now going fine and the next game was held at Hartland on Dee. 7. In no sense of the word was the game slow and when the final whistle blew the score stood 13 to 12 in Menomonee's favor. The next game was played against Hartford on our own floor. Our team was determined to revenge the terrible beating which they had received from Hartford last season. The game started like a whirlwind and at the end olf the half Menomonee was leading by two points. The game finished with Menomonee leading by a score of 20 to 15. December 21 the team journeyed over to Oconomowoc. B. Buczkowski being in- eligible. due to low standings. somewhat disheveled the team work and Oconomowoc walked away with a 21 to 10 victory. Losing the Oconomowoc game brought our boys back to earth again and in the Home-coming game with Wauwatosa De Molay our fellows showed them some real basket ball and trounced them by a score of 16 to ll in an overtime game. Pewaukee again stacked up against Menomonee on Jan. ll. Each team was in mid-season form and the Menomonee boys were determined to put up a good fight on their own floor. In a very fast game our boys were leading in the first half, 6 to 8, and stayed in the lead until the final count ended l-l- to 10 in our favor. Jan. I9 West Bend journeyed down, determined to make it two straight over Menomonee Falls. At the end of the first half when they woke up they found that they were on the short end of the score. Trying hard to overcome the lead they made a good comeback, but the final score ended 9 to 21 in our 'favor. The next game was with the Milwaukee U School on Feb. l. The game was without excitement and the U boys were never in danger. Winning on our own floor by a score of 38 to 21, and losing to them on their own floor by a score of 30 to 19 is not so bad considering the reputation of Coach Leker's team. Feb. 8 found our boys all set for Cooney and to show them what they could do with their regular lineup. The game was fast and clean and at the end of the first half the score was 18 to 8. ln the second half both teams tightened and only one basket was made. The final score was 18 to 10. Port Washington came down on Feb. 11 and in a very slow game lost to our boys. 18 to 8. Page Sixty-two Y: oi these were four letter men, this leaving one position to be filled.

In a very close game Hartford was nosed out by one point, the final score being 22 to 23. The team played a return game against Port Washington, rolling up a score of 31 to 6 in our favor. The Hartland game, Feb. 29, closed the season. This game was thought by all the fans the game that would put us in the conference. Menomonee won by a score of 14 to 7. Conference Games A if! INNING the final game of the season gave Menomonee Falls ren victories kk 4, out of tu elve games played. This was considered a very good record by the f . d h. When the i htt ms wer i ked fo th distri t onfere ce 4-,Mi ansan coac ' eg ea epc r e c c n ' Kenosha was given preference over Menomonee. Kenosha's record was loo'red up and it was found that they had won only one game out of their entire season. This uas not considered a square deal by the people of the town and the school. The matter was taken up with Mr. Chamberlain and other members of the W. I. A. A. board. lt was then decided that Kenosha and Menomonee Falls should play off an elimination game at the Marquette gym on Saturday, March 8, 1924. The day arrived with a good crowd of boosters at the gym hoping for the best. The game started off like a shot and at the end of the half the score was 8 to 6 in favor of Kenosha. The last half was as fast as the first and ended a tie. 16 to 16. A five-minute overtime period was decided upon. Kenosha made the first basket, making the score 16 to 18, with only a 'few minutes to play. Everyone was becom- ing disheartened when two points were chalked up for Menomonee, tying the score. A few seconds later the final whistle blew, leaving the score an 18 to 18 tie. With two minutes rest both teams went into action determined to break the tie. Both teams were playing ra defensive game when the whistle blew and the referee called a foul on one of. our players. The Kenosha player took his time on the shot and dropped it through the loop, making the score 19 to 18. With 48 seconds to play Menomonee made a basket, increasing the score to 20. A few seconds later the final whistle blew and Menomonee took the game by a score of 19 to 20. Kenosha had a good, clean bunch and it is the opinion of many that they should have had a place ahead of some of the other teams. The first for the District Conference Championship was played against Randolph, March 13. A very large crowd from Menomonee attended the game. It was not very exciting and Menomonee won her first conference game with a score of 16 to 8. Menomonee was then stacked up against South Milwaukee and a much larger crowd turned out to boost the team on to victory. The boys were now fighting for a clash with Wauwatosa. They showed the Marquette men some fine basket ball and defeated South lylilwaukee by a score of 13 to 19. Wauwatosa, having won all her games, was scheduled to play against Menomonee. The winner of this game was to represent this district at the State High School Con- ference at Madison. Practically all Menomonee turned out to see this game and also provided a band. Worried and excited from the strain of the other games Nlenomonee did and could not put up the fight expected from them, and Wauwatosa won by a score df 25 to 10. Wauwatosa was then given the silver loving cup and gold medals. Our boys were given second place and received silver medals. Racine took third place and re- ceived bronze medals. On the all-conference team Perrin won a place. Huberty and Buczkowski won places on the second team. Winning second place is considered a very great honor for a small school over schools like Racine, Randolph, South Milwaukee and Wau- watosa. 'QP' Page Sixty-four e m 9, o o 401 QA r v ..

Basket Ball in High School is played for the love of the game and the good one will get out of it. Basket Ball is not a one man's game. It brings harmony and good will amongthe players and also the fans of the games. From the day of the origin of this game it became stronger and stronger both in amateur and professional line. The prediction made last year that Basket Ball at M. F. H. S. is a Comer has come true. From the first day on the Hoot we knew right away that Coach Bart was a regular fellow and everyone loved to work with him. The fellows did everything which he told them and therefore turned out a winning team, and a team which fought its way into the conference and came out in second place. At a banquet given by the cooking girls Delmore Huberty was elected Captain for the coming year. Much credit is due to Coach R. A. Bartholomew and Prin- cipal A. VV. Peckg also the hlenomonee Falls Advancement Association. Page Sixty-ffm' 1 GIRLS BASKET BALL SQUAD. Top Row-K. llancockq M. Bezoldg S. VValterling N. 'l'hurowg K. Sehlaferg Coach A. XV. Peck.

After school had been in session for a few weeks and the Bmket Ball season was drawing near, a meeting was called of all girls who might be interested in Basket Ball. 'lihe Sophmore Class always prominent in all activities made up about half of the B. B. Representatives. Coach Bartholomew had charge of the team the first of the season after which they were taken over by hlr. Peck under whose careful supervision they made rapid pro- gress although they were unfortunate enough to lose most of their battles, they deserve much honor and credit for the clean and sportsman-like games they played. Out of the ten games they played, our girls won two hard fought battles. The lfirst defeats' were due probably to the lack of eo-operation, but after a few such games the girls worked together very well. Among the teams played were, Hartland, Hartford, Cudahy, Oconomowoc, VVest Bend and Port NVashington. 'llhe game with Port VVashingt0n played on our Hoor was a complete victory, the final score being 7 to -l. Yvhen VVest Bend came to meet our girls on the home floor we were fully de- termined to win. After hard play in the first half of the game the score stood l to l, The score being so close our girls became more courageous, and it was not until the last few minutes of play that the hlenomonee girls were able to make a basket, thus receiving a victory 3 to l. Page Sixty-,fix Q,,- -, N Alumni Section SCHOOIJS success is measured not alone by the number of students graduat- lgfs' lg ed from it: but by the individual success of those students who have gained their start through it. Nlenomonee Falls High School comes up to the top when measured according to those standards. The world holds many successful men who gained their start through the knowledge acquired while they attended it. Among our alumni are to be found Chemists, Lawyers, Doctors, Professors, Min- isters, Business Men, and persons of many other successful callings. Nlenomonee Falls High School is justly proud of the many people who have gone forth from its doors into the world and made successes of themselves. It is the purpose of this section to try to stimulate an interest among you Alumini which will help to promote a stronger unity among the Alumni of our school. LETTERS RECEIVED FROM ALUMNI. Alumni Editor. Dear Sir: Sometime ago I received a letter asking for information for the Periscope. There isn't much that I can say but if in saying it I can help your class and above all NI. F. H.

Thus far l have surely found it interesting. It is growing more so day by day. Through it all I think I can see some of the needs of the rural communities at the present time. There are a great many needs indeed. I think your idea for the Alumni section is splendid. I hope I will be able to meet my classmates in thought when I receive the new Periscope. Enclosed find a check of One Dollar and Fifty Cents for my subscription to the Perisco e. . . P Sincerely Yours, Elsa Schneider. Alumni Editor, Dear Sir: Your letter received and will try to answer it immediately. After finishing college at Naperville I started to work at the Standard Trust and Savings Bank, one of the loop banks of Chicago. I started as a clerk and in about six months was made manager df the transit department. After working there about two and one-half years I was offered a position of assistant cashier of the West Irving State Bank, a new bank, opening up on Irving Park Boulevard, Chicago, and here I am at the present time. Oh, yes, I forget, I was married, Sept. 18, 1923, to Miss Floy C. Ahrens, a Cedar Falls, Iowa girl, and have bought a bungalow a few blocks from the bank, and am enjoying my home, friends and work. Here's hoping that the Periscope may be bigger and better this year-and put me down for a subscription. . Sincerely, Melvin D. Schmidt.

And then bad luck o'ertook me, and hit me in the back, It made me feel SO funny, just like a limpy sackg I couldn't sit, I couldn't lay, I couldn't stand or walk, Indeed, it hurt so terrible, I couldn't even talk. I couldn't ask a blessin' on the meals I didn't git, QAII those good things I was missin', I declare, it hurts me yitjg Of course, we called the Doctor with his little black valise, But it didn't matter what he did, that pain just would not cease. They took away my beefsteak, they took away my pie, The took away so many things I thought I sure would die, I'd hobble to the kitchen, then I'd hobble back to bed, My back was all an agony, my heart it felt like lead. I jist got so discouraged-but it hurt to even sigh- And I always was so hungry, 'twould have been relief to die 3 And then a freindly neighbor, thet was said to have no tact, Declared if he was fixed like me, he'd try a Chiroprac. Well, I got so sort o' desprit thet I said I'd take a chance, If thet new fandangled Doctor would give my case a glance, I felt it wou1dn't hurt me, for my nerve had gone to rack, ,Though Sallie she insisted thet I had to wash my back.j So he camel, he grinned, he conquered, he preachetl a sermon, too, On what Qif treated properlyj PLAIN NATURE soon would dog He made me turn right over-grinnin' all the time- While he played Old Tipperary upon my tauchy spine. You've not got much the matter-the didn't mind a fibl- But you need some few adjustments and you've got a crooked rib, You're pinching down on tender nerves thet must have quick relief, For it's just a crooked vertabra thats causin' all this grief. And so he pushed real quick and firm upon a tender place, And he pushed along his finger as the trouble he would ,traceg Now, of course, he said quite firmly, you have let this go so long, It will take a lot of adjustments to get you well and strong. You have to give this INNATE thing a fair and proper chance, But you'll find it does the business without a knife or lance 5 And, say, you know he told the truth, thet feller did, by gum, Though the RETRACE of them adjustments is anything but fun. Why, thet feller fixed up somethin' so it didn't hurt to sneeze, And he got me pretty supple, even had me on my kneesg He even let me have my meat, since I'm a workin' man, And said jist throw away those pills into the garbage can. So if YOU'RE hurt in head or foot, in stomach or in back, just grit and grin and call on him-that local Chriroprac. Of course if your'e laid up in bed and can't come to the Falls, Call No. 10 'cause you must know he also makes house calls. YC Page Eighty fi-ve H. G.

Payr Ninfty-Iwo Making Better American Homes OME is a practical thing and home-making is a practical job, all sentiment aside. Health is made or destroyed in the home. In the home the basis of character is laid. Habits of thought as well as of action are formed thdre. Views of human relationships are determined by the home environment. Good men and women come from good homes and good men and women make good homes. An endless chain of healthy influences starts in the good home. It is thel buttress and support of the school, the community, the State and the Nation. The home is no longer a factory, it is the family refuge, a place of rev creation and refreshment. In it the needs of the' soul as well as the' body must be satisfied in a large part. Love of home is a composite of respect for parents and brothers and sisters and of satisfaction and contentment due to a wholesome and restful environment. Much that is disturbing in the present situation is directly traceable to the lack of home influences. The home must be made more potent in character building if America is to remain American. The home must be more than four walls and a bed, It must afford more of the satisfaction that now is sought in vain elsewhere. A program designed to make better American homes ought to have and it will have the active support of every good citizen. It is a practical means of establishing American standards in the home.
