UHHiiHiuiiHHiiHiHmiHiiiiiHiiiHtiiiHfHiiHHiiHiiHHiiHiHiiHiiimiiiHiiHiiHiH ihihihiih....mu................. 1...hihiiihiiihihiiiiiiiihiihiihihih Tales of the Year SEPTEMBER With musical sounds from the Booming: band, published dope on the new unfortunate instructors, and other foolish things, the 1925-25 school year opened for M. 11. S. During the first month the Dramatic Club began speedy work, in perfect contrast to their ending. A group of boys banded together to reflect knowledge of things “up in the air”. They were known as the Science Club. The city physicians raked over the students’ bodies to find defects but the findings were never published. The “Pig Skin Chasers” in the first game, got in trim and were trimmed by Mt. lloreb. OCTOBER The night of October 2 saw the Indians of this high school perform a Snake Dance and (i'l the town with Indian yells. But the next day Baraboo defeated M. II. S. Governor Bast’s fly swatter was stolen and the school suffered a fly attack. The Seniors vividly illustrated Brainliness in an American History Test. The football team motored to Orangeville and “beat that team up a batch” as a feature of a Two Minus One Homecoming Celebration. NOVEMBER Three timid Staff members and the sponsor ventured to Madison to attend the C. 1. P. A. Convention. The faculty began taking daily dozens in the gym. The G. A. A. girls brought market baskets to school but did little marketing. Monticello slipped on the grid and kicked the ball over the goal. Since Monroe didn’t slip, why, we got beat up there November 11. The student body voted to adopt a II. S. seal, but the Students’ Council must have forgotten about it. A terrible scandal concerning the morals of our football team occurred. It was on the tongues of all gossipers. But Satan does succeed once in a while. DECEMBER A new member, Mr. Mauer, entered our school. What a humorous man he was. The Juniors began raking in money for the Prom by sponsoring a movie. The cold, bleak weather ruined the alarm clocks and tardiness increased by leaps and bounds. JANUARY All the students returned to school and played with the toys they received for Christmas. Shorty Monteith went to the New Year’s Party and showed the flexibility of his legs and thus won the Charleston prize. All of the girls got scared of future doctor bills so they began taking brown pills. But the woman doesn’t always pay. Our office girl, Irene Roderick, fell head over heels in love and resigned to get married. FEBRUARY Uncle Abner appears in the Bulletin and hands out many wise cracks. Steve Donner got his glasses on wrong and netted an exceptionally long shot in the Senior-Monticello Seconds game. This won the game for the Seniors and hearts beat as never before—since a Monticello team was defeated. The Seniors decided they wanted to look funny when they graduated and so voted to wear caps and gowns for graduation exercises. The Philadelphia Sv-phony Orchestra had it “put all over them” when our school orchestra gave a program in the main room. Even the kettledrums kettled. MARCH The Seniors got smart and headed the Honor Roll for the first time during the year. Our basketball quintet battled the snow drifts to Monticello on February 26, and defeated Monticello right there on their own floor. A plague of Defeatism inflicted the Monticello people while Monroe rooters could be heard yelling many miles away. Someone got an old idea and wanted to wear those old fashioned derbies. So the boys scratched up the money and the business men scratched up the derbies. As a result of all this, Monroe didn’t get a very good place in the tournament. (Continued on paste 3.1)

The Students’ Council T1IE Senior High School Student Council has come to the close of a successful year in which it lias done many things for the betterment of the school. Its purpose is to discuss problems that come before the school and solve them if possible. It takes care of student activities and arranges for programs, mixers, and talks. It is pure’v an advisory body that brings students’ needs up to be discussed. Students and teachers are linked more closely together by this group of students and teachers. The whole school is repre ented on the Student Council. Three members from each class are elected by the students at the beginning of the year. Five teachers are appointed by the Superintendent. Til’s body then meets and elects its own officers. The Student Council began work this year by putting on the first mixer. It then planned for other mixers to come later. A committee from the council worked with Mr. Holyoke and helped him prepare for the basketball tournament. The proposition of adopting a school seal was d scussed and it was decided to put it up to the school with a referendum. Almost everyone was in favor of having a seal; so a committee was appointed to adopt one. The seal on the Junior Class ring was selected and ordered. It will appear on diplomas, announcements, and other official school papers. The Council also sees to it that Scholarship. Citizenship, and Bulletin Awards are given each year. Scholarship Awards are given to students having superior mark; on their cards. Students who do some outstanding good for the school that brings honor or improve; conditions are awarded with a Citizenship Award. Bulletin Awards are given to those holding responsible positions on the Staff. Officers of the Student Council this year were: ITeddent.
