The writer questioned this statement, pointing out that life is arranged like a pyramid or cone; that the higher one rises, the less room there is and that those at the top depend upon many more at the base giving the whole a firm foundation. I agree with the view expressed above. Out of millions, there are very few who reach the pinnacle, and there can be but few who reach it. There is but one Lincoln, one Edison, one Lindbergh, one Shirley Temple. This does not mean that it is useless for an ordinary mortal to strive to reach the heights. Each should make the most of the talents he possesses. Unhappiness may come from too high hopes of worldly success and fame when few can ever attain these. It is my hope that you who go out from this school may make the most of your talents and that you find contentment and happiness in work done to the best of your ability. This is real success. E. 0. Evans, Superintendent University of Wisconsin, M. A. Carroll College, B. A. You of the graduating class are going out into a world of confusion and uncertainty. It will be easy to find things wrong with the world about you. The possibility’’ of war is real and menacing. There is not enough work to go around. As a young citizen you should seek with all the intelligence you have to understand this strange new world into which you have come. You should learn to use your own eyes, to observe what goes on, to read newspapers and books with discrimination, to go to the roots of things in the light of your own common sense. Train your-seif to observe, to think, to speak, to write, and to be natural and agreeable in conversation. Think more of your own growth and happiness than the money you can make. And finally, remember that the outcome depends on yourself. Whether we shall go forward into a new order must in the end depend on yourself. The kind of a country we shall have in the future depends on the kind of men and wc.-an the youth of today are determined to be. T. R.

Darlington saw the locals in action the first game, which saw the Darlington boys trample the locals by a score of 24-0. Following this game the locals again traveled out of town this time journeying to Evansville. In that game,leading 6-0 in the third quarter, the Monroe team was beaten when Evansville managed to push over a touchdown in the last quarter and climaxed this move with a beautiful kick after touchdown leaving the locals on the short end of a 7-6 score. In the first home game of the year, at Recreation Park, the Cheesemakers showed the most fight of the season in bowing to a very strong Stoughton eleven, 13-0. Again at home the following Friday, Monroe was to play football against Fort Atkinson, but Coach Mathusen's boys made a field day out of the affair and Monroe rose from the dust on the very short end of a 40-6 score At the Watertown game, there,the locals proved their intention of clinging to the cellar position by dropping that game _____-_____. Now nearing the end of the season, Coach Brown's boys seemed resigned to their fate and in a listless game lost to the Badger Preps at Madison, 24-0. Edgerton, considered to be the team Monroe could beat to break into the win column, played championship ball and thoroughly mangled the Red {Black Blue)White by a large score of 32-0, clinching the cellar for the Monroe team. The crowd turned its back and tried to forget the 32-0 Edgerton defeat and succeeded somewhat when the Crimson team downed a fighting Mineral Point squad 6-0. Many juniors who have received valuable experience during the season past, will return to the eleven next year and Monroe hopes for a great team.

Pres. - Glen Chesebro Treas. - George Williams Entering Miss Jones's room unobserved on a Tuesday afternoon at 4:10, we discover Monroe High's capable Student Council representatives ready to meet with their faculty members to discuss important affairs around school -------so to speak.' The student faction is composed of two persons from each class, and those belonging who are not officers are Grace Lichtenwalner, Paul Ritschards, and Leo Lisser. With the best interest of our fair high school at heart, the entire group convene every two weeke to make their decisions. First of all, we find that it is one of the especial duties of this organization to choose the chair committees, there being a different one every six-weeks. Next in line is the question of entertainment for mixers, various ways being discussed on the idea of pepping up these school parties. It is here, too, that the form of msuic Is decided upon— isu-ally the main issue is between an orchestra or a nickleoaeon. It Is quite necessary to choose various school organizations to sponsor pep meetings and this task also falls to the Student Council. Then, when Christmas time rolls around, the members attend to the decoration of the tree for the Main Room. The custom of the Christmas Collection Boxes was Introduced by the Student Council. Many students are probably ignorant of the fact that our Student Council also assumes responsibility for the decoration of the Armory during the Basketball Tournament. It's really beginning to look as if this group is responsible for a good many important events, and It is quite probable that Miss Peterson, Miss Anderson, Miss Jones, and Mr. Holyoke, as faculty advisers, had something to do with it. Here they come now --the meeting's about to begin! Student Manager, Jack Sery 16 OFFICERS: Editor - Eetty Lanz Ass't. Editor - Jack Sery Sponsor - Muriel Peterson M BOOK Bus. Mgr. - George Williams Ass't. Bus. Mgr. - Ruby Zwygart Sponsor - Viola Norton Every Monday during club hour and after school the M Book staff is found industriously engaged in putting out the '38 year book. For a while it seemed as though there would be no M Book, likewise no staff. However, several ambitious students began to work,collected the necessary 300 subscriptions and the publication was started. Presiding over affairs is Betty Lanz, editor, who scans the outfit with an experienced eye that tries to discover room for improvement. The make-up of the M Book is her most important job. First a dummy must be made which shows the amount of space to be filled. Each page is devoted to a different project. Assignments are now given out to the staff reporters, who go hunting for information. Next we see them busily composing stories to fill these pages. Another duty of several reporters consisted of checking the senior biographies for possible errors and cutting all unnecessary details. Trial stories are given back to the various writers who check, write additions, or assimilate two or three writings into one masterpiece. This year an important section of the M Book has been the work done by the Kodak staff. Under the capable leadership of Fred Steffen, there has been a general search for all usable pictures. Two Camera Clubs were organized this year mainly for the purpose of studying and learning how to take good pictures. With this knowledge they try to get interesting, alive pictures for our snapshot section. Those artistically inclined sketch and draw vivid pictures to give the pages an artistic aspect. Under Jack Sery's leadership many cl'ever designs are made, from which the ones to be used are selected. Meanwhile in a secluded corner we discover George Williams seriously checking over his account book. With the aid of Ruby Zwygart, he manages all the business affairs. Collecting overdue payments from students, club picture dues, and paying bills is this department's outstanding job. 1 7 KODAK CLUB OFFICERS: OFFICERS: Pres. - Evelyn Voss Pres. - Leo Lisser V. Pres. - Patricia Jaegers V. Pres. - Willis Etter Sec.-Treas. - Sylvia Schild Sec.-Treas. - Mary Meythaler Sponsor - Leona Priem Sponsor - J. C. Calder As a result of a suggestion last year for a kodak club, it was put into effect this year for the first time with eighty-four students wanting to become members. With too many students turning out for the club, it was impossible for the formation of just one club. Even when two clubs were organized they were over-crowded; so an elimination contest was planned, in which each member was to take two pictures showing his photographic ability and bring them back to the club. Many students did not enter this contest. Therefore it was possible to include all the people who did show an active interest. Two clubs of twenty-five members each were formed, one under the direction of Mr. J. C. Calder and the other having Miss Leona Priem as sponsor. The purpose of this club is to encourage and improve each member's general photographic abilities and study in detail the defects, causes, and improvements in snapshots. First having a general discussion on how to take good pictures,the members were sent out to take and bring them back, criticizing both the good and bad points. For the greater part of the year the students were sent out to take shots of football and basketball games, students' life in school, and of the teachers. Since these clubs have just been newly organized this year, it is expected that the M Book will contain many more photos than previous years because of the increasing interest and the adaptability of the students to their cameras. Receiving slides from kodak companies showing the difference between good and bad pictures, some of the students wished further information on this subject, so they also received pamphlets and gave reports to the rest of the club. A talk was also given by W. E. Trukenbrod on kodaks and pictures. One of the members brought his enlarging equipment and gave the clubs demonstrations on how to enlarge and develop pictures, a subject taken up by the clubs the latter part of the year. The credit for this demonstration and also for the developing he has done for other students of the school should be given to Leo Lisser. 18 OFFICERS: Co-Editors - Margaret Kuster Marian Trukenbrod BULLETIN Business Manager - John Marty Sponsor - Helen Zimmerman Coming into Miss Zimmerman's room after school any night, shortly before the next issue of the Bulletin, one will find a group of students scurrying in, oxit, and around digging up news. Confusion reigns.' There is much shouting to each other to find out different facts, groans from those having a difficult time, and gleeful noises from the lucky ones whose efforts have been successful. Here in one corner is Betty Benkert racking her memory for a few more bits of gossip for Breezes . A group of cubs are gathered along the back blackboard trying to aid each other in their headlines and doing a little bit of everything and nothing much of anything. In another part of the room Mary Karlen and Margaret Schindler are busy reading proof. The co-editors, Margaret Kuster and Marian Trukenbrod, are also hard at work. Kusie is working on the make-up and Trukie is writing the editorials. Oh, Miss Zimmerman, what'll I do? I can't find Miss Nommenson for my story and it's due today. ----- --- What is another word for nervous disappoint? Everyone is wreck? --- Are there two ---- Where can I find Mr. s' s in Evans?'1 One wonders how anyone talking simultaneously, can do his work here. A somewhat similar scene takes place in the print shop the two nights preceding the date of the issue of the paper. Added to the bedlam that occurs in Miss Zimmerman's room is the click, click, click of the linotype machine. Everybody is putting last minute touches on his labors. But in spite of all the noise, the staff really does accomplish its purpose of producing a fine high school paper. Compared with others of its size, the Bulletin ranks among the highest. It has received an All-American rating from the National Scholastic Press Association six times since 1930. Of course there is not only work connected with the Bulletin. Several fortunate staff members were able to attend the state and national conventions. They are still talking about their grand times. As for the cubs, they will in due time receive higher positions. 19 STAMP CLUB OFFICERS: Fres. - Philip Blair Sponsor - Patricia Damon Sec Treas ) Elizabeth Ladner Kow much am I bid? --- 5 cents. --- Who'll raise it to 4? ----Such is the chant coming from Stamp Club members, under the direction of Kiss Patricia Damon, in their weekly stamp auction. Various groups of stamps are discussed and reported upon and the desired ones ordered. A list of the stamps for sale is made. At the auction the catalogue value is the minimum price. Bids made over the catalogue value raise the amount which goes into the club treasury. Another feature of this club tor enthusiastic philatelists is a quizz, concerning the history and design of stamps,--planned every week by a different member to give to the rest of the group. A sense of competition is brought into the club's activities by the division of the members into two groups or teams. The results of these quizzes are averaged to find which team ranks highest. Occasionally Superintendent E. 0. Evans, who is very interested in stamp collecting speaks to the group. Fart of the activity hour is devoted to work on projects for the annual Hobby Show in the spring. If time permits, the stamp albums are brought out and worked upon individually. It is interesting to note that today more than two million people in the United States are working on stamp albums. This hobby is encouraged in school not only for its value in stimulating interest in various fields of knowledge,but for the training it gives in classifying materials, and arranging them in an orderly fashion. Because there are so many kin.ds of postage stamps, there are nearly 90,000 government issues. It is estimated that collectors have been forced to specialize. A collector may concentrate on rare stamps,historical pageants, on commemorative stamps, a geographical study from stamps bearing maps, or any one of a hundred subjects. Emerson,in his Essay on Civilization writes about the stamp: The power of a wafer........ to guard a letter as it flies over sea, over land, and comes to its address as if a battalion of artilleries brought it, I look upon as a fine meter of civilization. Harold Vogel and his Stamp Album 20 CONSERVATION CLUB OFFICERS: Pres.-F.Ryser V.Pres.-H.Heinzelman Sponsor-N. Preston Sec. -Treas. -’.V. Nafzger The Conservation Club was organized to study the preservation of wild life. Mr. Elmer, owner of a fox farm, gave a talk on traps at one meeting; at another, the Game Warden spoke. Ten pheasant shelters were erected in the fall by members of this club. During National Wildlife Restoration Week, March 20-27, a stamp sale was conducted in the form of a contest with Leon Rabe and Cecil Zentner as captains. The stamps were in the form of colored pictures of birds and animals, painted by Ding Darling, famous cartoonist. More than twenty dollars woj th were sold. Winners of the contest were given a picnic by Mr. George Luchsinger, head of the contest. SAFETY CLUB OFFICERS: Pres. -C. Mitchell Sec. -Treas. -C-.Boss Sponsor-E.O.Evans V.Pres.-C.Yon Kaenel Under the guidance of Mr.Evans this club was formed to study Safety. Not only do they study actual accidents tut also methods of prevention. Each member received a pamphlet which was prepared by the Safety Department of the State Highway Commission. In this “booklet is a course of automobile driving for motorists and pedestrians. Scrapbooks are made which contain clippings and pictures from newspapers of accidents that occur in Monroe and its vicinity and throughout the state. From time to time guest speakers are introduced. ivlay also our motto as well as the club's be, Drive Safely—Walk Safely— Be Safe.' a 6 21 HISTORICAL SOCIETY OFFICERS: Pres. - Fred Ryser Bec.-Treas. - Norma Swiggum V. Pres. - Harriet Brown Sponsor - La Von Jones The Historical Club was organized for the purpose of finding out what a high school group could do with local history in particular. Well, what have they done? They have promoted interest in relics and in local history not only for themselves, but also for those whom they are acquainted with. You remember some of those strange noises that seemed to come from overhead? Those, if you please, were made by the members, who, after digging around in the attic of the school, recovered some very interesting and worthwhile relics. These were dusted off, cleaned, and put on display in the history room. The pep meeting, presented by the club, was one of the most outstanding meetings given during the year, and included a brief skit very cleverly fashioned to show old guns, spinning wheels, axes, and other implements, all threatening the opponent. The president of the club read an original account, accompanied by the remaining members who presented each implement in his respective turn. However, the club does more than merely collect relics. It inquires into the local history of the first families, especially from the older people who remember intimate details in the settlement of Monroe. This, naturally, is almost wholly concerned with Swiss and German people,the cheese industry, and farming. A questionnaire is used in order to collect more information about old and valuable musical instruments and music. The club has devised a unique way to take care of their programs , which besides being educational are both entertaining and interesting. Several committees, namely, household implements, farm implements, records, guns, and other miscellaneous committees, were selected. At each meeting members of a certain committee prepared a program on their particular subject. It works pretty well, according to the members. When programs were not scheduled, talks were given to the club by outside speakers. Mrs. Kohli, librarian of the Monroe Public Library, gave an interesting talk on her family, who were among the first settlers. A representative of the State Historical Society showed the club how to preserve their relics and information. She suggested having their collection, which she thought was very good, on display in the Public Library. The picture on this page will give you a good idea of how such an exhibit looks. This is an actual picture of some articles found in our own school attic and on display in the history room. 22 BASKETBALL TEAM Edmund S.

Starting early in the season,Monroe looked a little clumsy, but nevertheless, the boys v ent out on the floor and licked New Glarus in the first game of the season, 37 to 13. The following week at Evansville they lost, but looked a lot better than they had in the first game. Then came one of the most exciting games of the season in which Monroe lost to Edgewood here, 21 to 24. These three games having been played had not yet started the Southern Six season, so the hopes for a real team were gaining with each week as the team showed much improvement over each previous game. At last the season arrived and Monroe emerged the victor against Watertown by a score of 33 to 28. This win made the fans take notice and the old basketball spirit once again seized the spectators. Then, in the next three weeks, Monroe defeated Stoughton, 29 to 23, Fort Atkinson, 34 to 22, and Edgerton, 36 to 19. By this time Monroe had yet gone undefeated in the league wins, four straight wins and no losses, which, of course, led to the belief that Monroe would have a very good chance of copping the Southern Six title. But as luck would have it, Wisconsin High, the cellar team, was the host the first half. In the second half the team made a fighting comeback but couldn't quite made the grade and lost a heartbreaking game, 19 to 14. After this Monroe lost three more games: one to Stoughton, 34 to 20, to Water-town, 34 to 29, and to Fort Atkinson, 20 to 13. Things were really beginning to look gloomy by this time and everyone wondered if there was any hope of beating one of the weaker teams in the Southern Six, Edgerton. A turn for the better took place and the boys swamped Edgerton, 36 to 20. Following this, they came back and trimmed Wisconsin High, 34 to 23. THE DISTRICT TOURNAMENT In the first night's games at the Class C Tournament held at Stoughton in which four teams, Monroe, Evansville,Stoughton, and Wisconsin High competed, Evansville defeated Wisconsin High. In the second game the Cheesemakers lost their most exciting and best game of the season. Excitement ran high when, with only thirty seconds to play and Monroe in the lead by one point,Stoughton pushed a bucket through the hoop. Monroe seized the ball and in went another,only this time placing Monroe in the lead again. Then, with hardly five seconds to play, Stoughton shot for the basket---in went the Pill and off went the gun. The score: 26 to 25. Evansville defeated Stoughton the second night, thus winning the district championship. Clair Mitchell,Captain 25 TRAVEL CLUB OFFICERS: President - Leon Rabe V. Pres. - Bernard Lee Treas! Florence Maddrell Sponsor - Viola Norton When we went to California last year, we took a southern route and visited some places in Mexico. It was very Interesting. Well, I guess I'm not a3 lucky as you. I've never been East or West, but I have always had the desire to travel and to know what places are worthwhile seeing. Bits of conversation, such as this, may be heard each Tuesday as the members of the Travel Club, sponsored by Miss Viola Norton, meet to discuss the beautiful and historic places of interest in the United States. Various members of the club, as well as outside speakers, present talks on places of interest which they have visited, and slides are shown. The national parks of the United States that have been discussed and slides shown, are Glacier, Yellowstone, Messa Verdi, Grand Canyon, Bad Lands and Elack Hills of South Dakota, Carlsbad Cavern of New Mexico, Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, and Yosemite in California. Information concerning the rock formations of the parks and why the parks are famous is also presented. Talks have been given on New Orleans, and points of interest in the Eastern United States, among them sections of Maine, New York City, Washington, D. C. and also Quebec, Canada. Besides these, talks on the above mentioned national parks,places in the West and Alaska have also been given. One, two and three day trips by auto to scenic places of interest in Wisconsin and surrounding states are planned, as well as one to two week trips. Each member of the club has a map on which he routes out the entire trip, marking places of historic and scenic interest that may be visited on the way. The first objective of the Travel Club is to acquaint the members with the places of beauty and historic value in their own state and the United States where they may travel. The second one is to teach them how to recognize the beauty of the country through which they travel. 26 HANDIWORK OFFICERS: Sec.-Rose Wehinger Pres.-Jean Keel Treas;-Helen Lewis V.Pres.-Helen Klassy Spon.-E.Mueller One of the popular girls' clubs is the Handiwork Club where they can do all manner of interesting things by hand such as, embroidery, needle-point, and bracelets. Miss Mueller, the club sponsor, has started these people in doing these tasks as an interesting pastime for educational, as well as recreational, purposes . Some of the novel things accomplished are: brass tapping, baskets, leather picture frames and billfolds. As a result of this activity many girls have discovered new hobbies and an interesting, useful way to spend their leisure time.The knowledge of these arts has also aided the girls in making useful and attractive gifts. ART CLUB Sponsor-Jeanette Anderson Turn your head a little more to the right. Now hold it. These are only a few of the likely phrases which can be heard in Art Club. It's existence is due mainly to Ruby Zwygart and William Maurer, who with combined efforts, promoted its organization. Now, that the Club has more experience and material with which to work, they expect to accomplish more the coming year. The most outstanding work has been done by William Maurer, who takes great interest in figure drawing. Other fields of work which have been pursued are sketching, cartooning, carving, water coloring, lettering, and oil painting. When the weather permits, the members are frequently seen outside making sketches. 27 DRAMATIC CLUB OFFICERS: Tuesday Club Pres. - May Hofer Sec.-Treas. - Betty Lanz V. Pres. - Dorothe Mae Larson Sponsor - Margaret Haugen Within the walls of our high school we have what promises to be some of the future stars of Broadway and Hollywood. What am I talking about? I am talking about our Dramatic Clubs. Because of the great interest in dramatic work, the clubs are held on two days, Miss Margaret Haugen's club meets each Tuesday. At Christmas time several members of the club presented The Ring and the Look a one-act comedy centering around a ring which belongs to the leading man, Archie Myers,and is coveted by several girl friends, as well as his best girl, portrayed by Norma Archibald. To complicate affairs his sister, Dorothe Mae Larson, also desires the ring. At the end, however, everything turns out all right. Besides this work, several one-act plays and short stories have been read by various members of the club. Pantomines have been given and plans for a demonstration of makeup were made. Two one-act plays, Swamp Spirit and Up Stage were prepared and presented before the members of Miss Patricia Damon's Monday Club. Members of the cast in the Swamp Spirit . DRAMATIC CLUB OFFICERS: Monday Club Pres. - Betty Zimmerman Sec.-Treas. - Marian McCauley V. Pres. - Bernice Bloom Sponsor - Patricia Damon Miss Damon's Club has been active in several phases of stage work. Special committees are picked at each meeting to have something prepared for the next. Stage management, makeup and acting itself have been discussed. Pantomines have also been given by individuals or groups during the year. At some meetings, one-act plays have been read aloud before the club by members or acted out with various members taking part. Tone drills, dictated by Miss Damon, have been practiced and quotations from Shakespeare and the classics are read by each member to see who can get the best expression or show the greatest emotion as the case requires. The merits and faults of motion pictures, among them Lost Horizon and Camille , have been discussed, as well as plays. Several members of the groups presented a one-act comedy, Wienies on Wednesday for the student body at Christmas. The masculine parts were well taken by several girls, because of the lack of boys in the club. Another one-act play, The Neighbors , was prepared and presented before members of the Tuesday Club later in the year. At the right is a picture of Ruth Elmer and Martha Fritz taken from a scene in the play Wienies on Wednesday , which was presented by Miss Damon's club before the Senior High in the Lincoln Gymnasium. 29: BOYS' COOKING CLUB OFFICERS: Sec. - Louis Janke Pres. - Homer Martin Treas. - Robert Goetz V. Pres. - Clarence Elmer Sponsor - Pauline Bonesho Ah, what a sweet aroma of cooking we do smell. Is it a convention of great chefs being held at the school? No, in reality it is the group of boys interested in learning the culinary arts to show the girls a thing or two. It is rather disappointing though, when an ambitious lad tries and tries but .iust doesn't succeed in getting Dutch Cleanser to form suds in dishwashing. Outdoor cooking is a point of great interest which is a part of the club's activities in the spring. There is where the boys learn cooking from the ground up. John Pfaeffli portrays the part of a real Swiss chef observing his work. Any of the persons who attended Scout camp as well as Boys' Cooking Club will testify that John does good work. Here's a group of Boys' Cooking Club members who really seem to be getting ready to show off some of their culinary arts. If our eyes don't deceive us we see on the table there the makings of a lunch. What is it going to actually turn out to be, boys? If their mothers could see them now probably those members would be hurrying home to prepare meals daily. 30 G. M. T. Sponsor - J. C. Calder Hammers pounding, files scratching, saw buzzing,and above all the other noise, girls laughing, are sounds which can be heard from the Girls' Manual Training Club. Many laugh when they hear of girls working with hammers, paintbrushes, and the like, but many fine pieces of furniture are displayed to show the workmanship which is required to make them. The girls of the organization learn to appreciate the value of household articles when they discover the amount of work, materials and efficiency needed to construct those pieces by actual experience. They also get an understanding in a mechanical nature which is necessary to women in domestic life. Mr. Calder, their ever patient sponsor, told them also about different furnishing products that can be bought and reasons why some are cheaper than others; how to recognize the quality of them and that which constitutes a good quality. The picture at the right shows two of the girls working on their articles. Among the main articles made are breadboards, painted or stained magazine racks, sewing cabinets, corner whatnots and a cedar chest which can be used either as a stationery or handkerchief box. (Some articles can be seen in the picture.) 31 CAREER CLUB OFFICERS: Pres. - E. Johnson Sec. - M. Trukenbrod V.Pres.-D. Larson Sponsor-M. Haugen KI-Y CLUB OFFICERS: Pres.-Willis Etter V.Pres.-C. Mitchell Sec.-Treas.-W. Redman Spon.-C. Saubert In the Career Ciub ambitious senior girls discuss entrance requirements, costs, locations, and general desirabilities of various advanced schools. Members have written to different colleges for information which may give them a thorough knowledge of the schools they might attend. Topics have been given by the members on fashions,buying, interior decorating, teaching, social work, beauty culture, music, stenography and secretarial work. A representative of Rockford College visited the club. Pictures were shown and the members were told about the scholarships, social activities, the courses,and other genial attractions of the college. Another important factor in any girl's college life is the budgeting of money and of her time. These were discussed and studied in order to aid the girls who need financial aid while attending school. Another interesting study was made of some of the newer books dealing with business etiquette and personal habits. Under the direction of Rev. Charles Lowe the Hi-Y was completely reorganized for the school year. A program for the year was sought, one which would be satisfactory to the members and yet educational and interesting. Although many members suggested sports as a topic to follow, the study of vocations and also of the Bible was finally chosen. At various meetings men have come to speak on vocational subjects to the club. After a period of a few weeks Rev. Lowe resigned and Carl Saubert, county YKCA leader , took hi's place as director of the club. It was then decided by the club to include the subject of sports in their program and at various meetings have members give talks on the different sports. Again this year the Hi-Y sponsored a Father and Son banquet which was held March 23 at the M. E. Church. A club that accomplishes as many interesting and educational things as the Hi-Y should be looked upon by other students as an organization from which they would gain many benefits. 32 B. A. C. OFFICERS: Pres. - Clair Mitchell Sec. - Warren Redman Sponsor - E. S. Brown Developing a sudden interest in sports, we wend our way to the gym and discover ourselves to be in the midst of an animated discussion. This entirely masculine group we immediately surmise to be the Boys' Athletic Club in action. Almost seventy-five athletically-minded members compose this very popular high school activity. This club, the largest of all the activities, holds its weekly meetings every Monday. The officers of the club, Clair Mitchell, president, and Warren Redman, who executes secretarial duties, were elected at the beginning of the year. Here under the capable leadership of Coach Brown, the members of the club have a definite aim; to study thoroughly the rules and fundamentals of the most popular games of America and other countries. At each weekly meeting, various members are assigned topics on subjects of interest concerning certain sports to be presented to the club at its next meeting. These topics are assigned by the president,Clair Mitchell. After each topic has been given, an informal discussion is held, in which questions are asked and answered, and additional information on the subject is offered by the individual members. In this way much information about our games is to be had than is known by an average sports fan. Many sports have been discussed in this thorough manner, including badminton, football, basketball, and tennis. Other helpful knowledge was imparted to the members of the club in the form of valuable instruction concerning artificial respiration and first aid. 34 G. A. C. OFFICERS: Pres. - Mildred Morgenthaler Sponsor - Lorraine Schumacher The G. A. C. was organized under the direction of Miss Myrtle Stokke. This club consists only of senior girls and has a membership of twenty-eight. The president of the club, assisted by Miss Stokke, selected girls to be the heads of different sports for the remaining part of the year and to take charge of forming the regular club meetings. The various spcrts and their heads were: soccer baseball, Eleanor Pyle; volley ball, Ruth Benkert; basketball, Mae Swartz and Dorothy Kuebli; deck tennis, Virginia Keel; individual activities, Betty Van Matre; kitten-ball, Leona Lehnherr; track and field, Marian Schwartzlow; and tennis, Agnes Becker. When selecting the teams each group chose a name by which their team would be recognized, such as Fly Catchers, Rat Killers, Ant Eaters and Romping Rascals. Three stunting members of the club. After the club had been organized for the first semester, Miss Lorraine Schumacher became director fulfilling the vacancy of Miss Myrtle Stokke. During the warm weather the club took hikes and went on picnics. On April 2, ten members from the club were invited to attend a Tom Tom play day at Madison, starting in the morning and continuing throughout the entire day. 35 Sport leaders in G. A. C. FORENSICS OFFICERS: President Vice President Secretary) Treasurer Sponsor READING CLUB Kathryn Bleiler Evelyn Voss Evelyn Hartwig Valborg Fletty OFFICERS: President Vice President Secretary Librarian Sponsor DEBATE CLUB Archie Myers Joyce Williams Margaret Schindler Betty Lanz LaVon Jones The Forensics department is one of our most active clubs of the school. It includes debating, reading, declamations, oratory, and extemporaneous speeches. The best participants take part in contests within the school and with other schools. The Debate Club in recent years has been very small but it seemed to interest many more people this year. In fact they progressed so, well that an affirmative and a negative team were picked to debate with other schools for the first time in several years. If you are really interested, the pictures will reveal the secret of who won and lost the debating contests. The state question for discussion was Resolved that the several states should have a unicameral system of legislature. After a preliminary debate to show correct methods of debating, the members spent their entire time working on unicameralism. Contests between the members were conducted and from these were picked the team members. After the debating season extemporaneous speeches were studied, many of which were given on current events to the club. Contests between members were also held. And so it is that students learn primarily, ways to talk clearly and to present arguments logically. Oh yes, they learn something of judging, too----and after all that is important. But enough of debating; so let us travel across the hall to visit the Reading Club. The Reading Club also comes under the heading of Forensics. Their time is spent in learning to choose good selections, to interpret literature, to read their selection clearly and expressively, and to understand what they are reading. Choosing suitable readings for various types of audiences prove to be very beneficial in their training. Selections mostly descriptive, of Washington Irving's, and those from other famous authors have been studied. To aid their ability in expressive reading, they study monologues, poetry, and conversations. 36 MIXED CHORUS OFFICERS: Pres. - Marian Trukenbrod V. Pres. - Edward Emmenegger Sec.-Treas. - Dean Yost Lib. - Robert Erickson Sponsor - Dorothy Nommensen You don't seem to be in any rush.' No, I've got five whole minutes to get to Mixed Chorus, so I might as well take my timeJ Some Monday mornings it seems apparent that M. H. students who are members of the Mixed Chorus have all taken this view-point, but finally the wanderers stroll in, dash to their seats with forty seconds to spare, and are ready for their weekly hour of vocalization . Since there are fifty-seven members, a large increase over last year's Chorus, the group makes a good showing. For their public appearances the girls of the organization wear white smocks with red ties, which contrast with the dark suits of the masculine section. Early in the year the Mixed Chorus sang at a meeting of the Woman's Club, which was held in the Green Room of the Library. Later on, they also appeared before the P. T. A. Of course, the most important annual event in which the Mixed Chorus participates is the District Music Festival, held in May at Mineral Point. Entering the Class B A Cappella group this year, differing from last year's entry in the Class B accompanied chorus, the organization sang All in the April Evening by Roberton and The Long Day Closes by Sullivan. Another representation from the double sextet; this group sang Three Blind Mice by Aschenbrenner and Ten Miles From Home by Harper. An operetta, The Chimes of Normandy , was unable to be presented, but it is hoped that it can be given next year. Thus, from the above, we surmise, and quite correctly, that our high sClfool is very musically inclined, and most especially that section represented by the Mixed ChorusJ Monroe Mixed Chorus at the Festival was a At the right are the members of the double sextet. 37 BOYS' GLEE CLUB OFFICERS: Pres. - William Shriner V. Pres. - Dean Yost Sec.-Treas. - John Gibbons Lib. - Robert Erickson Sponsor - Dorothy Noramensen As in previous years, the Boys' Glee Club, directed by Miss Dorothy Nommensen, spent its time in working up to a certain degree of proficiency in singing in order that it might enter the Musical Festival in the spring. Last year at Mineral Point the boys won First Division rating. The numbers presented this year were: Pickin' Cotton by Wellesly, Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes , and Hunting by Bliss. From this group of boys Miss Nommensen selected a quartet to appear at Mineral Point. The number they presented was The Drum by Gibson. BOYS' QUARTET Robert Van Wagnen, first tenor John Marty, second tenor William Shriner, baritone Warren Redman, bass F. J. Roub, accompanist 38 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB OFFICERS: Thursday group Pres. - Marian Trukenbrod Librarian - Betty Lanz OFFICERS: Wednesday group Pres. - Helen Barnes Librarian - Ruby Zwygart Sponsor - Dorothy Nommensen Because of the large number of girls who wished to belong to the Girls' Glee Club, it was divided into two groups at the beginning of the year. One group met on Thursday and the other on Wednesday nights after school. After the second semester was under way. the two groups were joined. This club appeared on programs before the Woman's Club and several other civic organizations. Later in the year a certain number were picked for a group to sing at the Mineral Point Music Festival, May 21, 1938. Cradle Song by Theopil Wendt and The Dream Seller by E. Markham Lee were the two songs thf girls worked on for the music tournament. A rl® ££ ®f Wencpr first soDrano Mary Karlen, second soprano, and Evalyn Stauffacher, alto, Sf ci b.

Pres. - Gerald Fritz Treasurer - John Marty Secretary - Glen Chesebro Director - Allan F. Barnard Hats off to the bands.' Here are other school organizations that really do things in a big way. The players especially of the Senior Band are among the busiest students in school. And, of course, their able director, Mr. Allan Barnard mustn't be (overlooked. He is continually rushing from one practice to another. For the last two years, the junior and senior bands have been run on a twelve month basis, giving their members no rest from their labors during school vacation time Last summer the band had various jobs playing for community affairs, such as, the ureen County Fair and the Turnfest. There were rehearsals of the regular, junior, and beginners' bands, ensemble work,and student conductor classes. Anyone could attend the conductor classes to learn the fundamentals of conducting. Those who attended then assisted Mr. Barnard at practices and also directed at various band appearances. In addition to these activities, many band members attended the music clinic at Madison where they played in the concert band. During this last school year, the Senior Eand averaged one appearance a week. This included playing at basketball and football games, P. T. A. meetings, and in the Christmas parade. They also had the honor of being the first musical organization to play in the new Turner Hall. Representing the Monroe Legion Post, they went to the State Legion Convention at Milwaukee where they won first place in marching. At Mt. Horeb the band played for the Autumn Festival and helped dedicate the new band-shell . Tournament attenders in Monroe were well pleased with the singing, musical stunts, and novelties rendered by the band. At its two public ;oncerts this year, this group presented a very ambitious program. There were solos, John Marty, the drum major, in his new uniform. 40 JUNIOR BAND OFFICERS: Pres. - Hoilis Schilt Sec.-Treas. - Robert Keepin V. Pres. - Verle Pyle Director - Viola Norton ensembles, and novelties. Among the more difficult selections put forth by them were Tschaikowsky's March Slav , In a Persian Market by Ketelbey, Ballet Egyptian by Lugini, Christianson's Second Norwegian Rhapsody and the Rosamunde Overature by Schubert. The last two named they also played at the Mineral Point tournament. Regularly each Wednesday the full band practiced last year. The various sections also met once a week separately. On April 1 they began marching practices each Friday after school. This year the drum major had a brand new uniform designed especially for the Monroe band. And was it grandJ Although catalogued as a Class D band according to the amount of time applied, and the experience of the individuals, the members voted to enter Class B at the District Music Festival at Mineral Point in order to look for stronger competition. The number of solos and ensembles entered from the band this year was larger than ever before. The junior band was directed by Miss Viola Norton this year. To get the fundamental training for the senior band is its primary purpose. The members study types of rhythms and forms of music. They learn the essentials of playing with others and become accustomed to playing both melody and counter parts. This organization planned a concert to be given in May. It's lots of work, but it's lots of fun, too. Again we say, Hats off to the bands] Mr. Barnard directing the band at the Christmas parade-, 41 ORCHESTRA OFFICERS: Pres. - Harold Trumpy V. Pres.'- Gerald Fritz Sec.-Treas. - Leo Lisser Director - Helen Spencer Strains of concert music greet us as we wander through the lower hall of our beloved Senior High building, and, as we place our eye to the key-hole of Room 2 we see the members of the Monroe High School Orchestra in earnest action under the capable direction of Miss Helen Spencer. Every Tuesday the forty-five musically-inclined members gather for the short session of practice that must serve as preparation for the many public appearances that this organization makes. During the past school year the Orchestra has appeared on numerous occasions. After a month of practice they made their first appearance of the year at the November meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association. They next played for the Greer. County School Board Convention at the Goetz Theatre. After playing for the December P. T. A. the String Orchestra provided accompaniment for the singing of Christmas carols by the high school assembly in the gymnasium. An ensemble of eight members played for the Holstein-Fresian Banquet at the Methodist Church in December. The same ensemble appeared before the January P.T.A. meeting. A different ensemble made up of 12 members offered several selections at the Chamber of Commerce banquet in February. Two concerts were presented by the Orchestra; one on April 5, and the other, which was a Festival preview, on May 10. Since the last school year tv o instruments, a viola and a cello, have been purchased by the school for the Orchestra. Outstanding winner in the 1936-37 State Festival was Gerald Fritz, who won the only first place in the state in Class A, playing the viola. Competing with six other schools a string quartet composed of Alfred Leiser, Dorothy Woodle, Gerald Fritz, and Ruth Lanz received first honors in Class B. Other State Festival winners were Leo Lisser and Alfred Leiser who played violin solos in Class B. Eight members of the Orchestra spent two enjoyable weeks at the Music Clinic at the University at Madison.last summer. at the left are the members of the 1937-38 string quartet. 42 PROM Queen Ruth Benkert and her escort. Jack Sery, ruled over a Hawaiian Prom which was the climax of months of preparation last year. A South Sea atmosphere created by palm trees, colorful hibiscus, and leis transformed the gym into a veritable wonderland. Girls dressed in bright frocks with leis around their necks served punch from a huge pineapple. To decorate the platform occupied by Ted Arthur's orchestra, a bamboo hut with a grass floor was constructed. Gay lounges and deck chairs circled the room to complete the picture. Glen Hoff, Junior Class President and Prom King with his chosen queen, June Reese, presided over a Dutch Promenade this year on May 6. The created atmosphere was decidedly Dutch with decorations generally in blue and white, and colored tulips in great numbers. Large windmills were placed in the corners of the gym covering the entrances. Girls wearing wooden shoes and dressed in Dutch costumes served punch from one of the windmills. Hyle Manson's orchestra played from a cleverly decorated platform. Left picture: Ruth and Jack Right picture: June and Glen Left picture: Taxi driver delivers the hahdbag to Mrs. Simmons' surprise.

I dreamt of a fair, the queerest sort of fair, held in our own beautiful city twenty-five years hence. I was transported to the top floor of the new Monroe High School where Station X1938 broadcasted a description of the carnival, as it was called. And this is what I heard.---------- Ladies and gentlemen, the sound of the bell will indicate that the time is 3 o'clock. This is Station X1938, the Voice of the Public, broadcasting on a frequency of 106 2 3 kilocycles, from the Blue Room of the Monroe High School. The next program will be Drought to you through the courtesy of the Rabe Sons Advertising Agency, phone 002 for complete and satisfactory sign service. Remember, Rabe made signs before he could speak. We now take you to the Swiss Cheese Carnival. Hello, folks. Tills is your wandering reporter, Edward Julius Emmenegger, speaking to you from the Green County Fair Grounds ir. Monroe, the Swiss Cheese Capital of the U.S.A., where the annual Swiss Cheese Carnival is now being held. The fairgrounds have been greatly extended in order to accommodate the large crowds and the numerous displays. And sneaking of displays, at the southwest corner of the fairgrounds, in the newly erected Hal] of Exhibits, is located the largest collection of autographed stamps known in the world today. The owner, Philip Flair, head of the historical department at Harvard, is said to have started his collection as a senior in high school. 'Passing on,we are attracted by the dazzling hues of Mr. W.Frederick Maurer, Green County Normal horticulturist's purple prize-winning pansies. Mr. Maurer has devoted the major portion of his life to the breeding of rare forms of plant life. One of his new hybrids has been named after him. It is the exquisite Billie Fansie. What's the cause of that shouting? It's John Dare-Devil Gibbons, performing his death defying act of driving his small roadster through a flaming wall of fire. Riding with him is his nerve tonic. Virginia Emmaline Keel. Coming back into the building, our attention is drawn to a poster which bears the inscription Accomplishments of the Women of Today . Below the poster, attractively arranged, are examples of the modem farm women's handiwork in needlecraft and in baked goods. The articles in this display were prepared by Harriet Brown, Dorothy Haman, Thelma Fritsch, Florence Burkhalter. and Bernice Bloom, all former 4H girls. The hum of machinery, which you doubtless have been hearing, is coming from the shoe-repairing exhibit of Harry Blacy, Jr., who, with his assistants, Edwin Booth and Willis Nafzger, is demonstrating to a large interested audience how shoes may be repaired in sixty seconds. It may be of interest to know that all of the signs used for this Swiss Cheese Carnival were prepared by Leon Rabe Sons, local advertising firm. The brilliant colors of these signs made a pleasing background for the entire activity. And we now switch you to A1 Miller, located upon the midway. Take it away, Al. Thank you, Ed. Above the din of the milling crowd can be heard the stentorian voice of Dick Bahr, referred to in his high school days by Principal T. R. Holyoke, As 'Leather Lungs', 'barking' for Elsie Schild's world famous trained animal act. In the shadow and next to the tent housing the trained animal act, is a small inconspicuous booth in which the famous tattooer, Glen Hagar, with his models, Paul Kubly, Dick Gibbons, and Francis Saunders, is busily tattooing the likeness of a certain Orangeville lassie on the huge frame of Robert 'Moose' Reynolds. Oh.' Look.' There is Bob Heinzelman standing upon the highest curve of the roller coaster, shooting out his paper airplanes with one hand while flying a kite with his other hand. Poor 'Andy', his untiring experimenting in aeronautics has twisted his mind. And there are Miss Marian Zweifel and Mr. Harold Trumpy just entering the Tunnel of Love, which is under the management of Monroe's tall, dark and handsome, silent man of '38', Glen 'Romeo' Figi. One of the most popular concessions on the Midway is the Snake Charmer's tent. Leona Lehnherr, twice daily, charms the snakes to the accompaniment of Dardanella Schulthess, playing weird Oriental music on her flute. Formerly a charmer of men, Leona has transferred her affections to a more cold blooded companion. That roar of applause you hear heralds the appearance of Miss Eleanor Johnson, toe dancer deluxe. As you all know, Miss Johnson first appeared last year, In the George White Scandals. Her stellar performance in that production made her a star over night. Eleanor's ecstatic interpretation of life's moods has won her a great following, intensely devoted to her. The strains of a Hawaiian melody 52 comes to our ears. It is the saxophone trio composed of John Marty, Gerald Fritz, and George Abplanalp swinging it, out in front of the Little Hula Heaven while the grass skirted ladies, Florence '.Velton, Opal Raster, Virginia Haines, Alice Conners, and Dorothy Beckman are giving their interpretation of a Hawaiian Hula-Hula Dance. The music stops, the girls disappear into the interior of the tent, and we'll move along the Midway. Our next piece of interest is the Model School, sponsored by the ,P. T. A. and conducted by those model students of '38', Connie Elmer, Dan Stauffacher,Henry Heinzelman, and Charles Ruch. Here visiting pupils are instructed in the correct ciass room manner. In direct contrast with this is the free lance school run by those irrepressible scalawags, Dean Margaret Kus-ter,and her associated professors, Cecil Zentner and Howard Higgins. I see that Ed is ready with his portable unit in the Hall of Science. So I Yd.ll return the 'mike' to him. Well, here we are, folks. We are going to start right in and tell you about this archeological exhibit. The exhibit contains articles ranging from a two ton meteorite found in the wastes of Siberia, to a one ounce scarab ring found in the tombs of Tuk Aknen Ach. It also contains many fossils, the like of which have never been known before to men. 'We regret that the owner of this collection, Fred Ryser, Jr., cannot be here to tell you some of his experiences in assembling this group, but he is at present on an expedition in the Gobi Desert in search of the Valley of Shangra-La accompanied by Nathan Brown, Field Museum curator, and Wilbert Bloom, representative of the Smithsonian Institute. He expects to return to this country sometime in the fall with some evidence of the Shangra-La Valley. Here is something that ought to be of interest to you. Fred's former history teacher. Miss LaVon Jones, who fostered Fred's interest while he was a member of tne Green County Historical Society, is explaining the background of the exhibit to a group of her pupils. Another interesting display in the Hall of Science is that of Gerald Von Klein, Nover Price Winner of 1960, who working in collaboration with the equally famous physical engineer, Dean Yost, have invented a perpetual motion, frictionless machine. They are now laboring on an anti-gravitatlonal mechanism. The machine will revolutionize the world's system -of transportation if it is successful in practical operation, according to Dr. Von Klein. A unique and timely exhibition is that of the medical pioneers, Archie Myers and Robert Erickson, whose work in new brain surgery has been lauded by the International Medical Association. They have built a glass model of a human head wnich can be opened for inspection. The model is lighted with neon tubes representing veins and arteries. Their accompanying lectures are very popular with the youth at the carnival. The last part of this program will be taken over by A1 Miller in the amphitheatre, where featured acts and races are now being presented. Take it over, Al. I've got it, Ed. Ladies and gentlemen, Mae Swartz's Tramping Troop of Tumbling Trixters are now on the platform, building pyramids under the skillful direction of Mae herself. Among the troupe are many familiar faces, Betty Zimmerman, June Ward, Noma Wyss, Rachel Trumpy, Regina Sommers, Julia Leiser, Agnes Becker, Martha Fritz, Elizabeth Ladner, and Marian Schwartzlow. The crowd's attention is focused upon the late arrivals, the former Carla Shrlner, Dorothe Mae Larson,Noma Archibald, and Iva Adelman,who have succeeded in 'landing' men who have placed them at the top of the Social Register. But now Betty Lanz, Mistress of Ceremonies, is announcing the next number, adagio dancers, Clair Mitchell and Glen Schwartz with their assistant,Betty Van Katre. The final event of the day is a free-for-all hundred yard dash in which Julius Hartwig, Madge Hyland, Dorothy Ingold, Kathryn Johnson, Wilbert Legler, Genevieve Metcalf, 'Streamline Streak' Regez, Nathan Sweet, Delbert Weeks, and Victor Wells run. They're off.' Tt looked close for a moment but Marian Regez opened up and spurted across twenty yards ahead of Vic Wells. here we are out in the midway again. Oh, yes, Marian Trukenbrod, owner of a national chain of restaurants is here today,back in her own home town, Monroe's shining example of a woman's success in big business. Her fame is based upon her own secret recipe of the ever-popular Made Half Right sandwich. Years ago, as a student in high school, she became interested in the culinary arts. In case you feel the urge to drop in and have a bite, the stand is located in the northwest section of the grounds. Over Marian's stand is a big sign. It reads: 'Come on,come on. Class of '38'. Free eats.' Excuse me a moment, ladies and gentlemen, but I'd like to buy a few melons from these Personality Gals of Browntown, Bonnie Bechtolt, and Georgie Vincent. Directly across the street from the carnival exit is Lula Snyder's Gospel Tent for those who have been led astray by the more material things in life. Lula has turned thousands of those unfortunates to the light. Her untiring efforts as a Salvation Amy worker have brought her fame, but this fame has not turned her head. She is the same adorable and modest maiden who graced Monroe High School's hall as a youth. Br-r-r-r-r-r. And so the dream was ended. 53 Abplanalp, George YV.
