The Band is an organization of 27 boys of Junior and Senior High Schools. For the size of Monroe High School, the Band is one of the best in the State. Albert Neuschwander is director and deserves praise for the results he has showed from the material which has been available. The Band was organized in 1923 and every year since that time they have played better and have maintained the membership of over 30. Each member whose attendance and work is satisfactory receives one-half credit for the year toward the sixteen credits necessary for graduation. The band has played at football games, basketball games, mass meetings, and pep meetings. It’s most important appearance was with the aid of part of the town band at the Armory during the Basketball tournament. The band earns money for music and other expenditures by having the refreshment concession during the tournament as well as the printing and selling of score book programs for the event. By this means money enough is raised to support the band for tin next school year. The officers for 1925-26 who guided the band in its work and who edited the score books are: President, Harold Schneider; Secretary ami Treasurer, Edward Ritz. Officers for next year are: Louis Zimmerman, President; and Russel Meyers, Secretary and Treasurer.

STONEMAN came to ♦ Monroe this year after having been two years at Marshfield, Wisconsin. He came to us with an excellent record t'or work and for his attitude toward High School athletics. He graduated from both Platte-ville and La Crosse Normal Schoo's and has had work at the University of Illinois during the Summer Session. His aim is and has been to put athletics in Monroe High School on the firmest foundation there is. The first year of his work here has proved that he will do his best to accomplish this aim. With the support of the school he will reach the goal. Coach Stoneman returns to Monroe for the 1926-27 season with a year’s work in this school. Undoubtedly he will accomplish a great deal for the school in victories next year because this year he has found lrs place in the school. lie has instituted Spring football practice and in his Physical Education classei he has introduced some new sports. The work taken up in his classes during the year includes setting up exercises, apparatus work, soccer football, indoor baseball, basketball, and volley hall, and interclass tournaments. Next year we are looking for great things in athletics. The Track Season TRACK does not seem to be a very popular sport in Monroe, for in looking over past years, it has been seldom that we have had a good track team, with the exception of last year. It is a very unstable sport in M. II. S. because every year a vote is taken, whether to have baseball or track, so far track has always won out. Our present coach, X. .J. Stoneman, is more interested in baseball than track, and if more schools around here take up baseball, Monroe may follow suit. The second Southwestern League Meet, held at Mineral Point, was the only meet that we participated in this year, partly because of lack of interest shown in this sport and also because of lack of good material. McGuire, a valuable point getter, was barred this season by his physician because of illness. Coach X. J. Stoneman journeyed to Mineral Point with all the men that reported regularly and garnered 9 points, Zilmer, also of last year’s team, scored 6 points, taking first in the 220 low hurdles in 29 fiat, breaking Hadden’s league record of last year, and third in the 120 high hurdles. Henry Detweiler placed third in the mile, Feldt, third in the javelin, and Monroe took third in the relay. Other men entered in the meet for Monroe were Dillon, Spaeni, Share, R. Stauffacher, Paid Wenger, Roy Zinser, P. Rubin, Arthur Bruni, and George Wenger. Platteville won first in the meet and Monticello second. Last year the Monroe track team, under the direction of Coach .Jacobson, won two firsts, one second, and one third, a very good record. Much of this success is due to the fact that we participated in more meets than ever before. Of this team, Alfred Stauffer, half-miler, and Holcomb and McGuire, 440 men, and Dettweiler, hurdles, were dependable point getters. 1 Page Twenty-four ]
