To make sure ot a coop- erative spirit between the seven hornerooms otticers were elected, each room having a rep- resentative on the governing board. The officers were Harold Berg, president: Loretta Rohan, vice-president, Betsy Rohr, secretary, George l-lolzbauer, Leonard Durch, Gilbert Stoltman, and Mildred La Croix, counsellors. Their first public appearance came in the form of a Columbus Day Program. Early in the term the class began to think of the biggest social event of the year, the lunior-Senior Reception. ln preparation tor it, and to become better acquainted they met in the gym at regular intervals tor dancing. To make it easier for the bashtul boy to ask the one and only a skit How Roger Did lt was presented to an assembly ot juniors and seniors. Helen Kling was the author. The players Were: Maureen Drury, Virginia Gough, Catherine Weslowski, lohn Weiss, Iohn Schreibeis, and Ed Mueller. At the mid-term incoming juniors Were properly initiated. That there is plenty of talent in this group was proved when they presented their ama- teur program, part ot a competitive contest conducted under the direction ot the Student Council.

SOPHOMORES Remembering that in unity there is strength the 2lB sophomores banded together under Robert Ielinski, president. Other officers Were: Bernice Rothweiler, vice-president, Victoria Grummel, secretaryp Iack Schmitt, treasurer: and Iosephine D'Amato, Maurice Schueller, and Henry Wideman, counsellors. Early in the year the family spirit was fostered when the class Went for an outing at Estabrook Park. Bringing forth their dramatic talent the sophomores staged a Thanksgiv- ing Program, in Which the punishments of the Pilgrims were compared with the present Messmer detention system. With another display of talent they entertained the assembly with the sophomore amateur program. On Ascension Thursday the group held a second outing-this time on the banks of the Menominee River. The class led in ads and patrons for The Rivals program with Patricia Otto as high scorer, and Vea Mae Zens, runner-up. f355l Room 3l7-elop Row: R. Keppler, E. Ertl, A. Kudeck, NV. Schmitz, D.

FRESHMEN The 328 DGDDY freshmen were distributed in nine homerooms. During the year, the organization of clubs, both for educational cnd entertainment purposes, constituted a large portion ot their extra curricular activities. One ot these was the Cheer 'Em Up Club Whose function it was to visit students in hospitals and cheer 'em up. Two other lively groups Were the Model Airplane Club, initiated by boys interested in model airplane building, and the Culture Club. Not to be outdone in any field, the treshman homerooms worked especially hard to help the missions. During the Christmas season they sent boxes of supplies to the Indian orphanages in Harbor Springs, Michigan, and New Mexico. Their year tor contact with celebrities was satisfied as a result ot an English project in which they wrote to tarnous authors. t40l Room 7fTop Row: A. Bauer, I. Firkirrs, E. Chmielewska, M.

GOLF Although enjoying only a fair season, the golfers managed to have a good time through- out the spring schedule. Matches were played with West Bend, St. lohn's M. A., Whitefish Bay, Pio Nono, and West Allis. Only two veterans, limmy Lawrie and Harold Eckl, formed the backbone of the team. Neal Schlosser improved rapidly as the season started under way and joined the first team with Eckl, Lawrie, and Ed Posluszny. Ferd Meyer and Bay Schneck acted as alternates. BOXING Bringing to a close the l938 boxing season, l4 champions were crowned in the open and novice classes of the fourth annual boxing show. Three boys retained their crowns which they won last year. These boys were lerry Lenartz, Ray Orlikowski, and lerry Toschik. Orlikowski scored a first round knockout over lack Kortsch to win his third straight crown in as many years. He was easily the outstanding boxer in the entire tourna- ment. ln the heavyweight class, Bob Masters was dethroned by lohn Weiss in a slugfest. Masters had to give away too much weight to Weiss and tired in the third round. The bout in which the most science was displayed was in the l26 pound open class between Bob Shanahan and Ierry Toschik. Toschik emerged the winner by a close margin. Art Kaszuloowski outpunched Don Ptaschinski in the 97 pound novice class as did lohn Wetter over Dick Wronski in the novice ll8 pound class. After scoring technical knockouts in every one of his previous bouts, Erv Sutschek completed his string by stopping Bay Newell in the novice l35 pound class finals. ln a fast bout Sylvester Miller outpointed Fred Synold in the l05 pound novice division. Roderick Stemo disposed of Bay Sommers to win the title in the 112 pound novice class. Among the bigger boys, Hank Blasczyk outpunched Ioe Lococo for the 160 pound novice title. Val Ielacic was too clever for Matt Gross in the l75 pound novice class and won easily. Charles Ielacic upset Charles Struck in the l60 pound open class finals to dethrone last year's champion. Probably the two fastest boys of all the contestants in the tourney met in the open class ll2 pound division. They were lerry Lenartz, who took the decision, and Dick Schwoegler, runnerup. This year a record for attendance was set with the total number of fans well over 3600 for the shows. Messmer is fast acquiring a name as a center of amateur boxing. The at- tractive shows that are always sponsored are due to the unusual talent. l54l CHAMPIONSHIP VOLLEYBALL TEAM Top Row: D. Spoerl, M. Kudek, E. Breitenbach, E. Manz, M. Poyer, F. Potts, D.

FATHER STEHLING'S FIRST 3Vz YEAR GRADUATES GRADERS These graduates had the unusual experi- ence ot being accompanied through twelve years ot school lite by the same priest. They entered iirst grade at Holy Angels when Father Stehling became an assistant there. When they were ready tor high school Father Stehling became financial ad- ministrator at Messmer. l70l These hard-Working students completed the regular tour-year course in three and one-halt years. To do this it was necessary for each student to either carry tive subjects a year or attend summer school sessions. Despite this added Work, each found time to participate in extra-curricular activities. 713 LESTER AND LARRY What DiMaggio is to the New York Yankees, what lonson was to Boswell, what a mother is to a home, that is what Lester Simons and Larry Sossonq are to Messmer. In 1928, one year after the school was founded, Larry and Les were added to the personnel. Any- one likes a clean, comfortable place in which to live. That's how these two men have kept the school. What would The Capitol staff have done without them when the Morrison Studio men came to take the pictures? How'd we ever have movies if Les dicln't operate the machine for us? What would the football men do without the truck-and Les? What would happen to the school if Larry and Les didn't report on time every day? 3 Le GIRLS OF ROOM 302 IN CROWNING OF THE MAY QUEEN It to Right: 'W Wolterlin, B Bykowski, L. Barnes, C.
