STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS: Pres. - Jack Sery Sec. - Carla Shriner V. 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

FOOTBALL HIGHLIGHTS With one of the lightest teams in the Southern Six Conference, Monroe was hopelessly outclassed in all of its encounters with league rivals and otherwise except for the Mineral Point game which they won 6-0 after a hard battle. 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.

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
