H. S. and one worthy of honor and remembrance. In the Freshman year Erwin Keller won the gold medal and Stella McAdams won third place in the declamatory contest. The Fresh- man boys also won recognition in athletics. There were a few class parties during the year. Before the end of the term some of the members dropped out. In the Sophomore year there were thirty-six students. Three new students entered the class. The Sophomores gave the Freshmen a reception which was a great success. In re- turn the Freshmen gave the Sophomores a sleighride party and a supper. The Sopho- more boys played football against the other classes and tied. In the declamatory contest of 1914 Erwin Keller won the gold medal and Emmett Sheridan won third place. At the beginning of the school year, 1915- 1916, thirty-five out of the original forty-three were still with the class. During this year several of the boys became prominent in the football and baseball teams and helped make both teams a success. The most important social event of the Junior year was a banquet given for the Seniors in the school laboratory, which was prettily decorated with class colors and flowers. During the banquet toasts were given by members of both classes. When the class reached its Senior year three more members had dropped out. The Seniors were particularly successful in the de- clamatory contest, winning three out of the first four places. The first place, or gold medal, was won by Stella McAdams, and the third and fourth places by Emmett Sheridan and Mabel Hoeft, respectively. The Seniors were guests of honor at a prom and banquet given by the Juniors on February 9th and May 18. Athletics were greatly benefited by the good material in the Senior class and mem- bers of the class have at all times taken part in the High School plays given during their four years in the M. H. S. The class flower is a white rose; class col- ors, maroon and white; and the motto, “Im- possible is Un-American.” The members of the class are very grateful to the kind teachers who have helped them during their four years of High School life. —EMILY KIPPERS, T7. m--------► CLASS OFFICERS Emmett Sheridan .................President Emily Kippers ..............Vice President Bennie Peacock ..................Treasurer � -------- Colors: Maroon and White.

To Our Many Friends: As Juniors we will try to give you an idea of our work as Mukwonago High School stu- dents. There were thirty five of us as Freshmen and soon after the excitement of “beginning school'’ wore oT, we called ourselves together and elected our officers which are as follows: President. Fred A. Goetz; vice president, Frazier M. Lobdeil; secretary, Myrtle Ham- mond. and treasurer, Sylvester Mitten. As we could not agree upon any definite colors for our class colors we left that until a later date. In early October the Sophomores welcomed us by giving us a banquet. In January we gave the Sophomores a sleigh- ride party to a neighboring town, East Troy, after which we served an elaborate lunch. During our Sophomore year we gave most of our time to hard earnest studying. In the early part of our Junior year we be- gan our plans for our Junior prom which was held in the Woodman hall on Feb. 9 last. At a meeting of the class we chose “old rose and steel gray” as our class colors and “Just a Commencement” as our class motto Invitations to the prom were issued to the members of the Senior class, to the unmarried alumni and their guests. The hall was decorated in our class colors. The grand march was led by our class presi- dent, Fred A. Goetz, and his guest, .Miss Clara Smith of East Troy. The guests of honor were the Misses Esther Shapiro, Agnes Hayes, Katherine Buchan, Ed- na Hansen and Eda Kahler and the Messrs. Harold J. Shapiro and Arthur N. Johnson. On April 20 last we neld a meeting of our class to decide whether or not we should give the Seniors a farewell banquet and it was unanimously voted in favor of giving them one. We decided upon May 18 as the night for the banquet. We also took the opportunity to elect a vice president, as F. M. Lobdeil had withdrawn from the class. Miss Alta E. Guthrie was honored by being elected his suc- cessor. Arthur McAdams, one of our classmates, captained the baseball team for two successive years, '16 and ’17, the team winning the cham- pionship of southern Wisconsin high schools. Fred Goetz, another of our classmates and also our class president, has been elected cap- tain of the football team for the school term opening next September. Fred has also been the assistant manager for the baseball team of ’16 and is the manager of the present baseball team. Miss Celeste Mundschau, another of our worthy classmates, is president of the L. T. L. Girls’ club. Miss Clara Wollenzien, another of our class- mates, is secretary of the L. T. L. Girls’ club. We wish the greatest success to our depart- ing Seniors, who have worked with us and helped us during our three years in the M. H. S. Sincerely yours. THE JUNIOR CLASS OF ’17.

The manner of U. S. en- trance into the present war is both startling and noble. Never before in all the annals of history has a power taken up arms in defense of helpless humanity, and in the interests of humanity alone. With nothing to gain, but everything to lose, it is a noble act which plunges a nation such as our glorious U. S. into the horrors of war, and leads the way to victory. Nor can these horrors be overestimated. Not only are millions and billions of dollars spent daily, and not only are millions and billions of lives sacrificed every day on the altar of greed and ambition, but think of the tears of the widows and orphans which nothing can quench, and the sorrow' of fathers and mothers which nothing can alleviate. Every day death stalks abroad on the battle field, taking away the son or the father from the fighting line, or the sweet daughter from her errand of mercy among the Red Cross workers; while far away, in the homes of the rich and poor alike, are the tears shed, and the sorrow for the victim of that day’s battle. And far away, in some dank, unhealthy prison, languishes the soldier, vainly hoping for his exchange, but often wait- ing in vain, while he often nears his “journey’s end” as a prisoner of war. Thus while we wait • at home in a fever of anxiety and uncertainty, the war goes on. each day adding some dear one to the list of dead, wounded and missing. But great as are these horrors, and great as is the suffering both at home and abroad, there is one thing that is greater. Yes, a thousand times greater and a thousand times more shameful and disgraceful! That is to stand back and let Germany ruthlessly carry on her submarine warfare, which sends to the bottom of the ocean the lives of our people for no cause whatsoever. It was a shameful act w'hich sent the Lusitania, with her cargo of human lives, to the bottom of the “deep blue sea.” It was a ruthless act which sunk the Asiatic and a score of others with their passengers and sailors. These are the victims of Germany’s inhuman warfare. And wliy? What is the motive back of these? What is the excuse for these cruel acts? There is but one answ'er to all these questions. Germany wants to build up a world-wide empire and intends to break up England’s sea power through U. S. And must our lives and the lives of our peo- ple of U. S. be taken for no reason at all ex- cept Germany’s ambition? No! Never! No, al- ways, and forever, no! Let us rise as one man to the call “to arms” as our congress and our government prepare to avenge these shameful acts. We are not content to be branded as “cowards” by the whole world! We are not content to have the finger of scorn and derision pointed at us because we are afraid to do our part across the seas! No! We, the people of U. S. and descendants of our brave forefathers, will follow the example of our illustrious Washington, and march on to victory. U. S. must do her part in this war. No turning back now. She must raise a grand army and send across the ocean and with the help of our allies repeat the glorious victories of England and France. We must avenge the insult offered our nation and the innocent lives so ruthlessly destroyed. Then, and only then, will wre consent to sign the treaty of peace. We must raise money to carry on our part in the war. The call has been issued for seven billion dollars. But more will be needed and yet more to enable us to carry on our warfare. We must have food, not only at home, but for our soldiers and for our allies. England needs food and wre must supply it in order to secure the victory w’e so earnestly desire. France is weakening and may be so crippled that she can only play a small part in the field. Russia may retire. Italy may not be able to do very much. But no matter. U. S. must do her part, and with Great Britain push on. Eng- land hopes to crush Germany and looks to U. S. for help. And U. S. must feed her allies, fight her battles and successfully float her war bonds. She must “tole” her share no matter how heavy it may be. If we are to uphold our honor and preserve the nation for which our forefathers fought and died and for which “Old Abe” sacrificed his life that she might stand united, we must fight Germany. And now, are we going to stand by while barbarians from the south and invaders from the west destroy their work? T H E A R R () w—pa ;e seventeen M- Where is our patriotism? Haven’t we any? Are we so callous that the sight of Old Glory, as it ripples in the breeze, does not send a thrill through our hearts and make us long to defend it, as we think of all it stands for? If we are, then we are not worthy to be called citizens of U. S. and are worse than “the man without a country” whom we exiled because of a few hasty words spoken in a mo- ment of passion, but regretted all his life. If not, then let us respond to the call to arms and march on to victory. Let us uphold our honor and prove to the world that our glorious U. S. is one of the greatest nations in the world. —ELIZABETH BULLION, ’18. ---------------- - PESTS I had always considered a dog the greatest pest in the world, but if possible I hated them more after we moved ne'xt door to “that dog.” It began to let us know it existed about ten minutes after the first load of furniture had arrived, by going to the porch where the men had carefully deposited a pile of curtains and after carefully selecting one of the best in the pile and. taking it to its own porch, solemn- ly began to tear it to pieces. Not wishing to come in close contact with the dog or have a quarrel the first day in our new neighborhood, we let the event pass peacefully by. Nothing of great importance happened for the next couple of days although our two cats, a couple of chickens, the door mat and several other small articles disappeared. On the third day, after carefully cleaning a pair of white shoes, I set them in the sun to dry. After forgetting them for half a day I sent my sister out to get them, but they were gone. It was that dog again. I would have given anything to have been able to throw a stone at least ten feet and throw it straight. The owner of this dog was a genuine type of “maiden lady” and would not hear of having the dog killed. What were we to do? After living there about two weeks we had just about decided that life near that dog would be unbearable, when I, who happened to be home alone at the time, looked up to see a man who was evidently a tramp as evidenced by his long, long, ragged beard and torn and dirty clothes, standing in the doorway. Fright- ened, I stood up and started for the door but was unable to reach it before the man had entered. What was I to do? Crash! What would that dog do next? He had attempted to jump through the kitchen window and in doing so had knocked a number of milk bottles on the floor. The tramp did not stop to find the cause of the crash but ran out of the door and down the street as fast as he could go. The dog was soon at his heels. In a few minutes the dog returned with the tramp’s hat in his mouth. The dog was of some use after all and from that time on I decided there were greater pests than dogs. —MILDRED WEST. m------------------ - MIKAVONAGO One warm afternoon during the past sum- mer I was riding along a dusty road with a friend of mine. He was driving the car and it just chanced that as we came to the summit of a large hill, I should look around and then ask him to stop. With my arm extended I showed him the stream below us, the rolling hills, the zig-zlag of many fences and the streets of a little village lying peacefully and mistily under the beams of golden sunshine. We had a field glass which was very power- ful and it was not long before everything was distinct and familiar to our eyes. As I took the glass and looked through it a feeling came to me as though, for the first time, I was view- ing a quaint old French village and then that picture faded from my mind, leaving an after- glow' which filled me with content and calm. At the lower end of the town I can perceive a mill around which is a stream of water that gets its source from the lakes that appear sunk- en in the distance. The water goes on and on, past a gaunt black railroad bridge and then in a winding, careless fashion through the level country belowr me. It seems that one side of the village is bounded by the railroad, one by the sparkling waters of the lake and the rest by woods and open country. It is stretched out in the shape of a huge club, much longer than it is wide and with two streets that carry the main traffic. The streets are shaded by many trees, which are a dark green compared to the lighter hue of the grass about the houses. In the center of the village is a bandstand and a grass plot; and in an irregular manner about them I can see the business houses of the place. They look old and time worn from up here. T II E ARRO W—PAGE EIGHTEEN Mukwonago is a village of homes. I see more of them than anything else. No filthy smoke pollutes the air and the streets are not thickly crowded. At the upper end I see a depot and a small colony of buildings. A mas- sive, grayish-white High School looms up as a banner of a regiment might. I take the glass, and I am pleased with what I have seen. It is comfortable and beautiful even in its narrow life. —EMMET SHERIDAN. ------------------► THE MAN ON THE STAIRS It was a cold, dull night in April when the sharp, sighing wind and the throbbing, patter- ing rain muffled the roar of the long, swift trains as they rushed into the gloom of the Union depot, carrying their cosmopolitan bur- dens which were nearing a common destina- tion. The coaches halted, and a weary, protesting multitude poured forth, thronging up to the steps of the station with impatient haste. The lights of the depot streamed warmly out upon the jostling travelers, shining radiantly upon one of them, one who held himself a lit- tle aloof, outwardly oblivious of the rain. It was this one who passed hurriedly out of the brilliant band of light which had indicated him as plainly as the footlights outline the star performer, and on into the building. There he ascended a second flight of steps until he stood beside the gigantic clock which, day after day, informed the passers-by of the flying time. Below him lay the interior of the Union depot, each crevice of whose walls was plain- ly visible in the glow of the lamps. Below him were people, many, many people—hurrying, al- ways hurrying. Below him lay the tragedy of life—tragedy so mixed with happiness that it was not always recognized. But it was there. Sadly the silent observer admitted that it was there. Tragedy in the face of the little bent Italian woman who stood cringing beneath the quick, stern directions of one of the guards. Something in that furrowed, grief-stricken face, something in the dark, sorrowful, beautiful eyes made the man by the clock understand. “There has been a death,” he said, “a death, and she is going back.” He turned again to the clock, wondering, conjecturing about the scenes it must have witnessed. And then the man beside the clock, because he was a poet and an author, began to imagine, weaving the fragments of lives which he saw below him into short yet fanciful biographies of the people there. Had the clock ever done it, he wondered. Directly beneath him stood a group of men in comfortable overcoats and silk hats; dia- monds glittered on their fingers, and most of them carried canes. They were financiers, judged the man on the stairs. He could hear them talking about investments. One of them mentioned “watered stock ’ and the others laughed. “We won’t be caught,” said one dis- tinctly. “Besides, when we’ve got what we want and it begins to look dangerous we can get out.” The rest of the words the author above them did not hear, until one of the group said. “I’m old-fashioned, I suppose, but this isn’t straight and I don’t want to be in it.” With new interest the unseen observer looked at the face of the man who had just spoken. It was a rugged face, with clear cut features, and the eyes were blue, honest blue. The poet looked again and saw the face of a boy. A boy whom everyone trusted, a boy who was depend- able, a boy who would not hesitate to say, “but this isn’t straight and I don’t want to be in it.” The financiers moved away and the author saw that two ragged little children were stand- ing near the stairs. He could not hear what they were saying, but he imagined that they had come there to wait for a father and a mother who had been away on a brief, hard- earned vacation. Expectancy was written in each homely little face. An elderly gentleman and a young woman were approaching the ticket office. As they came nearer, the man on the stairs heard the girl say impatiently, “Oh yes. father, I do know how you feel. We’ve talked it over so many, many times. I have talent; isn’t it only right that I go away to develop it? I do not want to live here with the money you are giving me. I want my own. The money 1 have earned in my profession.” A look of torture crossed the countenance of the man beside her. “It’s all right,” he said huskily, “but oh, I shall miss you, Elizabeth!” A middle-aged man and his wife crossed over to the stairs and stopped there for a moment. “This is the first real vacation we’ve had to- gether for three years,” they said happily, “isn’t it fine?” They laughed joyously as they passed out through the swinging doors. -T H E A R R () W—i a sk nineteen The bent, sorrowing little woman from Italy was returning. Timidly she approached a guard. “I have lost my way,” she said tremul- ously, “where do I go?” The officer, touched perhaps by the appeal in the voice, told her slowly, carefully. And when he had finished the Italian turned her soft dark eyes upon him. “God bless you,” she said reverently, and the words were as a bene- diction. Below the man by the clock, as before, lay the Union depot, but within its vast walls he saw only the little foreigner pouring forth her gratitude. And feeling that he had witnessed something holy, the man on the stairs arose and passed out into the night. m------------------- THE AEROPLANE IN THE WAR It seems almost impossible to realize the benefits of the aeroplane in modern warfare. In the earlier history a cannon was the most effective machine of defense on the ships, and the old musket on land. Now an innumerable list of devices are in use. There are several important ones and those are namely, machine guns, bombs, and in reality the most important of them all is the aeroplane. Now the term aeroplane includes all air ma- chines which are supported by planes. That is, there are different types of aeroplanes, as the biplane, monoplane, triplane and several modified ones similar to these. Then again there is a division of machines used for differ- ent purposes for land and water fighting. The aeroplane’s usefulness has never been realized until this great war began, or definite- ly speaking it has never before had a chance to prove its usefulness and efficiency. Now' the most modern and effective model of war- fare is in hydroplanes, and biplanes. It wras stated by one of England’s greatest generals that one well manned aeroplane was worth one hundred fighting men in the field. Roughly speaking an aeroplane concentrates the efficiency of one hundred men into one, ■ thereby greatly strengthening the effective- ness of an army or navy, whichever it may be. The mode of fighting from an aeroplane is very interesting, especially the action of the machine gun and bomb dropping devices. The machine gun is mounted upon the hood of the machine and shoots through the fast revolving propeller. The way this is accomplished is that the ma- chine gun works with the engine and the gun is timed to shoot just as the blades of the propeller are passed. There are thousands of aeroplanes perform- ing the separate functions required of them in the war in Europe and in a matter of fact will in our war with the German allies. The greatest battles of the w’ar have been fought by the fleets of air vessels. The large German dirigible, which caused so much fear in Lon- don during the early months of the war. has gone out of existence and small light crafts are taking its place. The dirigible was a large mark, a magnificent mark for the guns on land and also a clumsy framew'ork of steel. The aeroplanes of today are exceedingly light, simple and durable. The most important factor about an aeroplane is its durability. It was customary some time ago to speak of the aero- plane as our frail aeroplanes, but now it is dif- ferent. A load of thousands of pounds may rest on any part of a machine. A man has no more effect walking on the planes of a machine than on the ground itself. The motors are ex- ceedingly light and powerful, for example a one hundred horse power engine only weighs from 150 to 200 pounds and range from three to twelve cylinders. The motor, as it naturally would seem, is the heart of an aeroplane and if once the motor stops, the other mechanism is practically useless, even in the hands of a good pilot. Flying an aeroplane seems a foolhardy idea, but if one would ask a person from France which would be the safest place to be, he would say in the air. The aeroplane industry of the world has increased since its infancy, twro-fold that of automobiles and it has certain- ly accomplished wonders for the world during this period. m-------- T II E A R R () W—I AGB TWENTY GIRLS’ CLUB ( L.

At the first business meeting held in Octo- ber, the following officers were elected: Presi- dent, Celeste Mundschau; vice president, Eliza- beth Youmans; secretary, Clara Wollenzien; treasurer, Mildred West; club advisor. Miss E. Shapiro. Committees were appointed to select a name for the club, to draw up a constitution, to plan parties or social events, and to arrange pro- grams, with Alta Guthrie, Hattye Kalk. Mary McAdams, and Jean Betts as their respective chairmen. It was agreed that each member should be assessed dues of twenty-five cents per semes- ter in return for which they received member- ship cards to the club; and further that busi- ness meetings were to be held every other Tuesday and social meetings once a month. At a business meeting held in November the name committee submitted several names to be voted on by the club. “Live to Love” (L. T. L.), or “Lambda Tau Lambda” ( T ) was the name chosen. Plans were also made for getting club pins. A constitution was drawn up by the constitution committee and submitted later in the year. The first social meeting, a “Thanksgiving Party” was held in November. An appropriate program was given after which a light lunch was served. In December a “Christmas Party” was given. The “Holy Roller Sunday School” rendered an unusually interesting program, after which “Santa Claus” distributed “presents” and stock- ings filled with “goodies,” from the Xmas tree. The remainder of the evening was spent in playing games. In November the L. T. L. club gave a “Penny Social” at the High School building. A penny was charged for admission and also for each of the special features which afforded much amusement. The social was a great success in every way and a good time was reported by all. The sum of $45.00 was taken in and divid- ed between the Athletic association and the L. T. L. club. The girls put their money into the treasury toward their fund for wiring the class rooms and the girls’ cloak room for elec- tric lights. In January a “Riley Program” was given, consisting of the “Life of Riley” and a number of his poems. This program was not only in- structive but also very interesting. In February an “International Social” was given. There were thirteen different booths, representing as many different nations, in which lunches and drinks were served. An in- teresting program was also given and $65.00 taken in. Half of it was given to the boys and the other half kept by the girls. A “Farewell,” a “Marshmallow and Wiener Roast.” for the Senior girls has been planned and will be given in the near future. The L. T. L. club has been a great success this year and we hope that it will thrive as successfully next year. —GLADYS M.

How we’ve longed and waited for it. This, the very best of days; Just to have our fair dreams shattered By the parting of the ways. We have been so long together; Four long years, and yet so soon Has the time come for our parting On this first of merry June. Not a one has been disloyal. We have loved our class right well; Now the time has come to leave it, No words can our sorrow tell. Beyond a curtained hallway. Beyond a fast closed door. Lies the future of the Seniors, There success awaits in store. For within our ranks are statesmen— There are soldiers—artists too; There are nurses, doctors, actors, And of authors not a few. We shall help to make a nation, And our country’s history --- Will be infinitely strengthened By our love of unity. In far years, when on life’s journey. We shall look through memory’s eye At the past and at our school days— O’er our lips will pass a sigh. And a mist of tears will gather In our eyes and blind our sight, As memory backward leads us To the sadness of tonight. Tonight dear friends, we leave our dear old High School, The cross roads have been reached and we must part; Clasp hands once more, once more re- peat good wishes, And pledge a lingering mem’ry in each heart. And now, goodbye, and may the dear God bless you And keep from you the pain and sting of years. May Fortune’s steps for aye and aye attend you. Goodbye—God banish all your fears. —DOROTHY SMITH, T7. ------ ATHLETICS T II E A B R () W-I A iK TWENTY-FOLK BASEBALL TEAM STANDING: FOLEY. ( AUKOLL. KtEIIL. KELLER, Al'STIN, McADVMS (O,plain) KNEEL1 N i : POWERS, MITTEN, Hi ELL, SHERIDAN T II E A R R () W--PAGE TWENTY-FIVE BASEBALL During the past years our school has ex- celled chiefly in one athletic sport, baseball. The admirable record made by former teams was repeated and strengthened in 1916. Our squad of inexperienced players developed into an invincible organization. At first, things did not appear promising, but as the season wore on we played twelve games and won all but three of these. Our schedule covered the best teams in southern Wisconsin. The team work and school spirit of our squad was always highly appreciated by those who saw us play. Besides striving for state honors in baseball we played a series of games with East Troy. We won the majority of these, one of which was fourteen innings and the other eleven in- nings. In the course of our 1916 season we had the best high school outfield in the state, the surest third baseman and an exceptionally competent battery. Two of our games were no-hit affairs while the others never exceeded the six hit mark. Our team was not acknowledged champions of southern Wisconsin because w e were unable to play New Richmond for all-state honors. The line-up: Mitten, second base; Austin, center field; Horn, third base; McAdams, catcher; Carroll, right field; Kuehl, first base; Goetz, left field; Brach, short stop; Sheridan, pitcher. The 1917 baseball season dawned cold and wet as far as weather was concerned. The baseball material in school seemed almost un- limited. Except for the loss of Horn and Brach our team w’as identically the same as in 1916. By the first of April we had our schedule arranged. It was comprised of such teams as Northwestern Military Academy, Keewatin Academy, Marquette Academy, Walworth, Edgerton, East Troy, and many other teams. In all we had fifteen games scheduled. As soon as the team was organized we start- ed to play the first schools of our season’s work. It was in the most difficult part of the season, but even so we won four of the six games played. It was shortly after our sixth game when the first call for universal military training came. The boys would be of service to the nation to work at home In spare hours. When the condition of national affairs became more and more serious we cancelled our season’s schedule. A few incidental games wTere played on Wednesdays. The boys took military train- ing and as Americans we consider our action to be the best thing possible. Lineup: Mitten, third base; Austin, short stop; McAdams, catcher; Carroll, right field; Berby, Goetz and Buell, second base; Tans, first base; Powers, left field; Foley, center field; Sheridan, pitcher. —EMMETT SHERIDAN, ’17. —T H E A R R () W—pa ik twenty-six FOOTBALL The enthusiasm for football at Mukwonago High School in 1916 was great. Never before was such a spirit shown toward the game. We met with real success considering jhat mater- ial we had to pick from in our High School. Many of the players had never played football before, but after a few weeks of good coaching and strenuous work, we developed a good team. Elkhorn at Mukwonago The game was played upon our high school campus. We outclassed our opponents. Bar- liofen, our fullback, starred. Mukwonago 36. Elkhorn 0. Burlington at Mukwonago Burlington came here with a heavy team and things looked dull to us, but when the game commenced we outclassed them in all ways. They were fooled many times by end runs, with Barhofen carrying the ball. Burlington 6, Mukwonago 30. Mukwonago at Delafield We journeyed to Delafield and met the strong St. John’s Military Academy team. They outweighed and outclassed us, but we put up a game fight for the name Mukwonago. Mukwonago 0, Delafield 20. West Bend at Mukwonago West Bend came here with a fast team, but their line was weak against our back field. Our two touchdowns were made by line plunges in the first half. The second half was open playing on both sides; neither side managed to score. Mukwonago 12, West Bend 0. Walworth at Mukwonago This was the hardest contest fought upon the home campus and the game was played with snap and brilliant plays. Carroll starred for Mukwonago, making a touchdown after running around left end for sixty-five yards, winning the game. Mukwonago 13, Walworth 6. Mukwonago at Milwaukee Our last game of the season was played with Bay View High School. We had to play on a frozen, rough field, and it was very cold. Bay View kicked to Mukwonago. Goetz carried the ball to the middle of the field. A long forward pass, Goetz to Barhofen, resulted in a touchdown in the first minute of play. Bay View got their touchdown in the second quar- ter, by line plunges. The second half was scoreless, but well played. Bay View’s back field was plunging like tigers so fast that the referee could not keep up. Mukwonago 6, Bay View 7.

He got to the place and found his play- mates waiting for him. They played games, ate ice cream and did many other things. But before they knew' it, night came on, and the little boy had to w'alk home through the woods again. When he got to the middle of the forest he stopped; he thought he heard some- thing make a noise, he looked around, and he saw a white figure coming toward him. (Continued on page 200.)

To bother others working near And rob their time w'hich is so dear.

It is surrounded by rich and product- ive farms. Its railroads and interurban lines are all that could be desired, having lines radi- ating in four directions. The educational system is an exceptionally good one. The school building is situated on a very attractive and commanding site. The campus is several acres in extent. The build- ing itself is commodious, well heated and light- ed. It contains a well equipped laboratory for scientific experiment, and has an excellent library. The attitude of the school patrons is commendable. The Board of Education has always stood ready and willing to provide gen- erously the very best in the way of equipment and teachers. THE HIGH SCHOOL The High School occupies a position of greater prominence in our American system of education today than it ever held before. It is no longer the school for the few and those few having as their ultimate aim preparation for college or professional training, but it is the school for the many. Statistics presented in the last report of the United States Commis- sioner of Education show that the rate of in- crease in the number of high school students has far surpassed the increase in population. Thoughtful parents are realizing more and more the need of a school training for their children beyond that offered by the common school. The completion of the common school work is no longer considered a sufficient mini- mum requirement for the preparation of our youth for intelligent membership in present day democratic society. Our school aims to prepare its pupils for their life’s work—not merely for college. To this end stress is laid upon the study of those branches and the doing of those things which find direct application in the student’s daily life. We believe in educating the hand as well as the head. Every year the scope of the courses offered to the boys and girls is broadened so as to meet the needs of the entire community. The Domestic Science work has been given the last two years and the work done has been up to the highest standard of excellence. The equipment for both Domestic Science and Agriculture is very complete and with some addition contemplated for the coming year will be on a par with any school in this section of the state. Following the custom of some of the larger schools of the state the agriculture teacher has been hired for an additional two months during the summer in order that he may give any assistance or offer suggestions to the pu- pils with regard to their home work or to serve the agricultural community in any way possible. Not only has the scope of our high school work been broadened and enriched, but the high school has been constructed to meet the needs of those living beyond the immediate community in which the building stands. It is not to be regarded exclusively as part of the school system of the district in which it is located. To the boy or girl on the farm or in the small town or village not yet having the advantage of a school training beyond the eighth grade, the high school extends a wel- come hand. Both the state and university in- spectors speak in very commendable terms of the work and the wholesome spirit of the ------T II E A K R () W-----I AGE THIItTV ONE----- school, so that parents can make no mistake in sending their children here. ACCREDITED TO THE UNIVERSITY Graduates of the Mukwonago High School are admitted to the University of Wisconsin and to all colleges and normal schools of the North Central States without examination. Graduates can complete a normal school course in two years and thus be legally quali- fied to teach in any school in the state. They can complete a county training school course in one year. EXAMINATIONS AND PROMOTIONS Regular examinations are given in every subject at the middle and end of each semes- ter. The passing standing is 75 per cent. Re- port cards are given out every every five weeks. Parents should examine these cards carefully and sign them as evidence of such examination. Where the record merits it com- mendation should be given to the child. Where the standings are low inquiry should be made as to the cause and the pupil encouraged to make a better record. Each student is expected to carry four sub- jects. If a student fails in a subject, that sub- ject must be taken again at the first opportun- ity, and only such advanced work as can be carried with an assurance of success. m----------------►- COURSE OF STUDY FIRST YEAR First Semester: Required—Algebra I, Eng- lish I, Elementary Science.

Those desiring to go to college should take Latin or German and ad- vanced Algebra. A unit is a study with five recitations for one year. Sixteen units of work are required for grad- uation. Rhetoricals are part of the required work. Extra credit given for home work in Agricul- ture. SUGGESTIONS Parents are advised strongly to help plan courses of study for their children. The work will then be more purposeful. Remember the schools should be run for your boy or girl, and if subjects are not afforded that should be, re- member that a general demand will surely be heeded by those in authority. In arranging a course, the required units should always be taken as they occur. A considerable liberty will be allowed in choosing elective subjects, but it will be seen that they are arranged in groups. Students preparing for some particu- lar college or university should look up its en- trance requirements and plan to meet them fully. Students should consult the principal in choosing studies and obtain his approval be- fore classes are entered. Study hours should be as strictly observed by students attending a home high school as would be expected and demanded at a board- ing school. The high school work is planned on the basis that 1% hours home study can be given and parents should see that this home study work is systematically done. Teachers will be very glad to co-operate with parents in trying to secure faithful work on the part of the students.

T H E A R R O W----PAGE THIRTY-THREE DRAMATICS AND RHETORICALS Several things were undertaken in regard to dramatics and rhetoricals during the school year 1916-1917 and all of the undertakings were a success; both from the dramatic and the financial standpoint. Rhetorical programs were given once a month, some as evening and some as afternoon programs. Every pupil in school was required to take part in at least one program. The programs consisted of musical selections, de- clamations. orations and debates- An excellent declamatory contest was given on Thursday evening, March 8th.

The hanks are always asking you to open an account.” “Son, that is the easiest question to answer that you have asked in a long time. By opening an account they mean leaving some money with them. You just walk up to the window and tell the man you want to leave so much money. There is little said about the “opening.” He takes your money and gives you a receipt, and a check hook and asks no questions. You have then opened a bank account. Now to open an account at the store—well, that’s dif- ferent—they always ask some questions.” Citizens Bank of Mukwonago MUKWONAGO, WISCONSIN ,—..—..—..—..——� ——•——..—..——..— —..— .j Park Hotel and ;• • McGRAWS Opera House HOTEL JOHN NOWATSKE SONS, Props.
