Bills were passed during the session, for automatic mouse traps to abolish the mice; for granting a pension of $0.05 per month to Miss Hayes for her fruitless at- tempts to convince the Se- niors that George Washing- ton is dead; and one for pro- viding a way to keep Chafin’s dog off the school grounds. The class play will be staged Tuesday evennig; June 3. We have won this season’s baseball games with East Troy. Nine “Rails” for the bovs! These victories were due, no doubt, in a large part to the number of Seniors on the team. 1919 THE ARROW 1919 S Vwn L Thel. an 'V‘='e A SENIOR As sKe appears +o literary e i tb rs a te.r reading Ke. senior uj y i te-u-ps Page Ten 1919 THE ARROW 1919 JUNIORS Page Eleven 1919________THE ARROW________1919 Jlmtiiu ilmtrnal THE JUNIOR CLASS. Just to let von get a little idea of what the Junior� are. 1 am going to introduce them to you. and tell you as nearly a 1 can how they seem to ire. First, the’e is Dor- othy Ahrens, she is our honorable President, and surely no class ever had one as faithful, for she seems to carry most of the responsi- bilities of the others, and she helps the Ju- niors through all their troubles. Winifred Brady is next in line and although she is not President like Miss Ahrens, she is a mighty good classmate. Rex Patrick Brophy is our dangeerous one for he sometimes goes as far as to take his revolver to Geometry class. He's a regular “Villa.” so to say. Now here is Elsie Gannnon. who is always ready to giggle with anyone and Louise Geritv who is foreveer collecting money for something. I don’t see how she doc this job. for as long as I have k � o vn her 8l e seemed very incap- able of handling “dough.” Gerald Goodman is a real nice litlc fePow and is very obePent, (especially under Miss Murphy).’ Onil Hil lier has been wearing a very sad frown lately and I guess sh« is mourning for Jim Lnvin. who has not been at school for some time, for she used to b«vp such a time dis- cussing affairs with him across the nis!«. Forrest Jackson comes next in Imp. He is pure Junior with a great deal of interest in a Senior class member. Viola Kingston is known as our chamnion note writer (just a k Mr. KivlinL IWel Lartz i« the tease of the Junio� class for she is always both- ering someone. I think she is different from Irina Merry because Irma is a real quiet Junior. Leo. M.tten was nearly robbed of all his money the other day when Rex attacked him revcl-oliver in hand. Frank Sheriden hrs a great deal of interest in the Domestic Science rom and Harold Stoecker is the class dude, while his brother Walter is a real nice little fellow and I believe he likes a certain girl from the room downstairs. Ruth Sug- d« n. I would call another giggler like Elsie although she is very serious whn it comes to lessons. Brian Tuohy is pure Irish, and next comes Kut h Warn hold who is liked by all for s’e plus the march for Us to pass out of ihe school room. Laura Wiedeman, being t’e smallest, is the baby of the class, and M’ldr cl West is •« real classmate to every- one Erwin Van Valin is known as the boy w:F the wonderful eyes, while Julius (nuf sed).

The Sophomore class began the year 1918-1919 with their usual large enroll- ment. Of course, a few of the “old pals” had dropped from the happy throng —but most of the live ones were back in full force, eager for the second year of their high school career. The second year has been even better than the first as far as the activity of our individual members was concerned. During a good part of the year the class, in accordance with the proper war spirit, refrained from class gatherings of the usual elaborate type. But this spring we blossomed forth in a jolly picnic in honor of the timid Frosh. Phan- tom was the scene and really we had a good time. Our boys have been represented actively in the athletic field both in baseball and in track. Four boys, Bud Goetz, Gilbert Mundschau, Earl Brady and Paul Perry, all made the baseball team. In dramatics Charles Goetz, Gilbert Mundschau and Alice Wylie played prominent parts. Patje Fourteen 1919 THE ARROW 1919 Page Fifteen iFrpshmau (Hass History One evening after supper I decided to go down town. I was walking slowly and enjoying the evening air when an old man. whom 1 knew very well, stopped me and began talking about school. “Is this your first year at school?’ he asked. “Yes, I am a freshman.” “Have you a largo class?” “It is very small comparing it to the one of last year. At first, there were twelve of us: After a few months, John Schuster went away to attend a mil- itary school, but about this time two boys entered, raising the number to thir- teen. ’ ’ “1 believe I have heard a great deal about that class, but have you chosen your class officers?” he asked, looking quite interested. “Yes, we have. At the beginning of the year we elected Gertrude Sell, pres- ident, Anna Bullion, vice president, I .«on a Anderson Secrtary, and Hazel Muehl, treasurer. Our class colors are ‘Purple and White,’ and our motto is, ‘Love of Country.’ ” “Have you been entertained by your upper classmen?” “The Girls’ Chib entertained the freshmen girls at a banquet in December, and the Sophomores gave a party for the class this spring. We enjoyed our- selves very much both times.” “Your class has begun its career well, and I hope it will be some credit to the High School in years to come.” “I am sure it will.” He said “Goodbye,” and went on his way. I walked on, thinking how in- terested he was in our High School. I’at e Sixteen 1919 THE ARROW 1919 THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS. HILE WE, as Americans, ought to be giving the plan of the League of Nations our individual support great masses of us, in our impa- tience to see it worked out, have voiced various complaints and seem to have lost faith in the whole scheme. Some have even gone so far as to say that the league is little more than a second Congress of Vienna with no more of the true spirit of democracy in it. Of course, this is gross injustice to the men who have been framing it and who we ought to know are noble statesmen guided always by sound democratic princ- iples. This dissatisfaction may be just an issue of the great American unrest. But may it not enhanced by our old evil—German propaganda? Very prob- ably it is. Therefore, we ought to be patient until the minor details are worked out; for our only substantial hope of a peace that will last lies in the success of the League of Nations. WHEN FARMERS SET THE CLOCK AHEAD. The farmer loses rather than gains when he turns the clock ahead. Farm work, especially in the spring, is controlled by the sun and not by the hands of the clock. With the new schedule of time, on frosty mornings the farmer must wait an hour or more after rising before he can work on the land. Then in hay making time he must wait for the dew to dry. These hours are lost. What is the farmer to do? He can not keep old time, for he is compelled to move with the rest of the world. It is necessary to be on time for morning milk trains; and if he expects to use hired help, he must start and stop work by clock time. Hired men would be discontented if they thought they were working an hour later than city laborers. To the farmer who works, not until the whistle blows, but until the work is done, the change of time only makes the long day longer. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? We are coming to a period of our lives which will prove to be one like we have never before known. Just as our brave soldiers stood on the deck of the sinking “Tuscania,” and sang the song, “Where Do We Go From Here,” before taking a leap into the cold; wide sea, we are standing on the deck of “Child- hood Days,” waiting to take our leap into the cold, wide world where we must shift for ourselves. Good fortune may be awaiting some of us, bad fortune, we Page Seventeen 1919 THE ARROW 1919 hope, none of ns. A few may have the good luck to keep on with their studies into higher grades, others must pursue their duties into the business world, while others may enter hospitals, be teachers, or stay on the farm. Again, I think of the words, “Where Do We Go From Here?’’ How un- interesting life would be, however, if some supernatural being should predict to us the answer to that cjuestion. It will be far more fascinating to choose and make our own place in the world, guided only by a supernatural love. But whatever may happen, let us not be idlers in this world crisis where there is a place for everyone in the great reconstruction work. In considering human activity, one finds that the spirit which is back of it is principally responsible for its success or failure. If the right spirit is present, persistence along any line of work usually brings favorable results. History is merely a chronicle of what has happened when men were moved by great spirits. The spirit of Christ has made it possible for civilization to ad- vance to its present stage through the agency of Christianity. The “Spirit of ’76” made the colonies invisible and gave us independence. The spirit of de- mocracy inspired the whole Christian world to turn and destroy the perverted spirit of false Kultur. The spirit of childhood has been commemoration in the poetry of James Whitcomb Riley. In, fact, all the fine arts are the results of the inspiration of spirit. Likewise, in our everyday lives the spirit’s the thing. School spirit leads students to make a reputation for their school through personal effort. The spirit of industry brings prosperity to the individual and to the community; while the spirit of romance keeps life from becoming commonplace and gives us ideals. Truly, in the course of human events, it is the spirit in which things are done that counts. The right spirit leads to success and happiness, the evil spirit to disaster and disappointment. Whatever be the outward results of human en- deavor, the all reponsible element is the spirit in which it is done. THE SPIRIT’S THE THING. Page Eighteen A COWARD. T WAS a beautiful day in August The sun was very hot, but the breezes was very inviting. Large crowds had gathered for an after- noon enjoyment. Steve, an invalid, was a favorite among the people, hut especially with Martin Hill, a soldier, who had been at the summer resort for a week. Steve and Martin had taken their afternoon stroll and seated themselves at the river bank to rest. All at the beach were much wrought over the accident of the previous day. A young man while (mating had been nearly drowned. Steve’s idea of a sol- dier was very vague. He, himself, had never been able to do anything in an athletic or adventurous way, but imagining that it was for others. Consequent- ly his conversation led up to the catastrophe of the day before. “Martin, you say you were a soldier, and you did not make an effort to rescue the man who was drowning.” “1 cannot swim,” said Martin. “But you could have tried to do something. I would have made an effort.” “Steve, you are unreasonable, I could not have done any good in the water. It was a very humiliating experience for me.” “Oh, Martin, you said you were a soldier, but you are nothing but a coward.” These words were very painful to Martin, and not wishing to have any argu- ment with his newly made companion, he remained silent for awhile, and then walked to a nearby bench. After he had been gone for some time, Steve dis- covered a peculiar object in the sand. lie reached over and picked it up, and after closely examining it he discovered that it was the Croix de Guerre, on it was inscribed. “Martin Hill.” Steve regretted his treatment to Martin, and brought him the badge and said: “You surely must have been brave to receive this award. Were you hurt?” “Yes, there is a bullet in my side. I was honorably discharged.” Steve said, “You will pardon me please, for calling you a coward. You are the bravest coward I know.” —IRMA MERRY. Johnny was a little boy, And he was sent to school; But he chewed gum all day long Which was against the rule. The teacher said, “Oh, Johnny, dear, What makes you break the rule? Gum is one thing little boys Must never chew in school.” You will never learn,” said she, But always lie a fool.” Johnny took the gum And stuck it on his stool. And afterwards he took it home And chewed it after school. —JAMES GERITY. Page Nineteen 1919 THE ARROW 1919 A Midaummer Simijlit’s Drram N A STUFFY, dismal little room in a rickety tenement, hours little Jimmy lay with his back in a cast and his arms in slings. That day the doctor had! told him that he would never be able to walk again. At the head of his troops in a fierce battle with the imaginary Huns, Jimmy had run in front of a speeding automobile. That was eight weeks ago. Since then he had not been very cheerful. When the doctor said he would never be able to walk again he no longer tried to restrain himself for the sake of his poor mother but began to sob and wish the ear had killed him. Finally, his sobbing ceased and his eyes closed. His fairy godmother came to him and handed him a magic rug, saving, “If you will lie on this I will take you where you will see things which I hope will make you more content. First we shall visit France and take a peep into one of the hospitals.” Jimmy saw a doctor go .up to a man, who lay covered with a blanket, and ask what the trou- ble was. “Just a scratch,” said the soldier with a smile, “Take the others first.” With his new power Jimmy could see that under the blankets both coat sleeves lay empty and blood stained at his side. They next entered a room where a group of Irish lads lay singing. They were remnants of the Royal Irish who had fought so bravely at the beginning of the war. Some were minus legs, others arms, some had part of their faces shot away and others were blind. A new nurse entered and could not restrain her look of mingled surprise and horror. Horror at their terrible condition and surprise at their liappy faces. “Well, mam, if you think we are a mess you should have seen the ' Fritzies’ we left behind. In comparison we are a com- pany of strong and perfectly healthy men.” Then they passed over Belgium where thousands of women and children were dying of starvation and wounds given to them by the merciless Huns. Yet those who remained took up their burdens in as cheerful a manner as was pos- sible. “I guess I’d better go home,” Jimmy said, “and I can act like a soldier, too.” He woke up at this moment but the dream seemed real and from that day until three years later when a doctor operated upon him and cured him no soldier, not even the Irish lads, could have been more cheerful —MILDRED WEST. Page Twenty 1919 THE ARROW 1919 A it mi’s Dmtm It. was a beautiful night. There were many stars in the sky and the moon shone very brightly. Here and there were darkened spots which were shaded by the leaves of the trees. A lone soldier o nhorseback sat dreaming. The magnificance and the splen- dor of nature about him seemed to enchant him. It. seemed to bring back dreams of what might have been. They were really bitter—sweet dreams, bitter because lie might never be able to return to them. In this woods many of his pals had lost their lives and many had been taken prisoners. Out of his detachment he had been the only one to escape the hor- rors of that battle. And then, again came the dream of home and of all that might have been. Suddenly there came that, sharp pain in his side, caused by a piece of shrapnel, which put a sudden end to his dream, lie was many miles from the first aid station, and help he must have soon—yes, very soon, for every minute he was growing weaker even though the dreadful pain ceased for a time. The moon now went under a cloud; everything became dark. And the knight of the present war fell from his faithful steed, to the earth, to sacrifice for his country his dreams of what might have been. It was only a French helmet sent to the U. S. A., by an American soldier in France, probably to his sister or brother or perhaps to his sweetheart, awaiting his return to America. As it lies there how gloomy it looks, made out of cold iron and how heavy it. must have been on that French soldier’s head, weighed down by the sorrows of war. I wonder whether that head can be seen in Europe today or whether that soldier, old or young as he may be, has found his way to “Blithy”? Many a timet maybe this very helmet has protected its wearer from a shot or shell. Oh, if only this helmet could tell its story of this great war. The many days it spent in the trenches, the aeroplanes flying over head, dropping bombs where- ever they might land, and also of the many wounded soldiers lying near. Some praying on their knees for their families, but still glad that they fought for their country. Oh, if only this helmet could speak what a wonderful story it could tell us. —OPAL HILLIER.

But some day by and by They will know the reason why They did not pass, and they will come Back, one by one, to that History class. —Marion Sell. The poet, the artist, the sculptor, The same simple story tell: That they who would rank with the greatest, Must do each little thing well. All our heaviest blows inflicted By our M. H.

A big bla k dog came upstairs one day, When Miss Chapman was feeling blue, He walked right in her class room, bold. She tliot, “What shall J do?” She ordered James to put him out But James was very slow He said, “I guess I’ll let him hang around, Until lie wants to go.” S! e then told Frank to put him out But Frank had on a brand new suit He said, “You’d better kick him out With the tip of your number ten boot.” She said, “ Iguess that is all I can do.” So site drew her foot back slow But before her foot could swing around. The dog took' a notion to go. —Arnold Stoecker. What can be said in schoolday rhymes That’s not been said a thousand times? The new days come, the old days go, We know we dream, we dream we know.

Over many quaint and curious English lines of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a talking As of someone almost hollering, hollering in my ear. “ ’Tis the teacher.” I muttered, “yelling in my ear. Only this and nothing more.” —Charles Goetz. Page Twenty-two 1919 THE ARROW 1919 OH, YOU JUNIORS. YVe of the Junior class all know That what I am about to say is so. We’ve attended school for nigh three years We’ve shown our smiles and shed our tears. The Freshmen when they come each fall Are large, or fat, or short, or small. They gaze about with bewildered look And attend wrong classes with wrong book.

YVe’ll just skip over our class you see And mention the Seniors, How will that be? They stalk about the room so proud Scowl when anyone speaks aloud. Take their hooks home every night Claim our work is all too light, Make believe they’re worked to death Hut teacher’s ear seems always deaf. won’t we show What a class we’ll really be, Lower classes, friend or foe. When we graduate in the year “20”? —Harold Stoeclcer. NEXT FALL. We wonder, will they miss us When they come back next fall? Oh. no. they’ll be too busy With their English, History and all. But w’e are going to miss them Because we won’t be coming here. Though we quarrel with the Juniors, In our hearts, to us they’re dear, And the Sophomores, and the Freshmen Let's not forget a single one. And the Faculty. We know' that next fall We will miss a lot of fun. —Pearl Mair. OUR VILLAGE. Mukwonago is a pleasant town, By lake and meadow's bordered ’round, Perhaps it can’t be called a city, But certainly iTs pretty. Seven hundred’s the population, A very small part of the nation, But a movie house and a bank have we, And our grocery stores are in number three. Our High School is the best around And few better drug stores can be found And if things happen as they say This'll be the largest junction in the U. S. A. —Mildred West. THE “FLU.” Johnny stayed in bed all day, he said lie had the “Flu.” His mother called the doctor quick to see wTiat he could do. The doctor came within an hour to tend to Johnny’s case. But Johnny ran down cellar to find a hid- ing place. The doctor said in angry rage, “Be this an April fool?” His mother said, “Quite so .dear sir. I’ll send him back to school.” So off to school did Johnny go. with apple in his hand. To give to Miss Chapman next day so he would not get tanned. —Arnold Stoecker.

The follow- ing officers were elected: President ......... Gerald Goodman Vice-President.....................Leo Mitten Secretary ......... Forest Jackson Treasurer ........ Frank Sheridan ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE. Harold Stoecker ...... Chairman Orville Guthrie Charles Goetz Faculty Adviser ........ Vincent Kivlin FOOTBALL If one were to judge from the indications of school spirit and early enthusi- asm evidenced in the fall one would say that the season 1918 promised to be the best ever. But friend or rather enemy “FLU” came along just in time to spoil all the fun. The prospective squad met and elected Gerald Goodman, captain and Mr. Nelson, coach and manager. The boys were ordered out for practice immediately and showed that they were made of the right stuff by their ready response. Very little was accomplished in actual playing of contest games because of the epidemic. Many of the boys on the squad were ill most of five season and finally the school was forced to close the early part of October and remained closed for a period of four weeks. This made all prophecies for the gala season fail. A last attempt was made after the reopening of school, the first of November, and games were scheduled with the following schools: Elkhorn, Oconomowoc, and East Troy. The team was composed of the following men: Right End ....... Right Tackle ...... Right Guard ...... Center ....... Left Guard ...... Left Tackle ...... Left End ....... Full Back ...... Left Half Back ...... Right Half Back .......... Quarter Back ...... Substitutes ...... BASEBALL Early in March the boys began agitation for baseball. They organized a peppy little team with Gerald Goodman as captain and Mr. Kivlin as coach. The team consists of: • • • • • ■ • . .

Place. Date. Marquette St. John’s Whitewater Whitewater Oconomowoc Oeonomowoc The annual series of games with the East Troy High School has been planned. The first of the series was played at East Troy April 2. The teams were pretty evenly matched and after a close game of twelve innings the score resulted in 15 to 14 in favor of East Troy. Mukwonago made most of her runs in the first half of the game, while East Troy started to gain in the second half of playing. During the eighth and ninth innings the score remained a tie, 11 to 11. In the tenth and eleventh Mukwonago showed their ability and raised the score to 14; but in the twelfth inning she gained nothing while East Troy succeeded in raising the score to 15 and won the game. Some excellent playing was done by Goetz as pitcher and Harwig as catcher. Perry did fine on first, and scarcely missed a ball Other stars were Van Valin, Mitten, and Paul Perry. The second game of the series was played at Mukwonago on April 12, with victory for the home team. The score was 6 to 5. 'Pile final game wns played at East Troy on Wednesday, May 28th. Again our boys were victorious in a hard fought game with the score 6 to 5. It was not. hard to decide which was the better, more manly team. The girls actively entered the athletic field this year for the first time. Bowl- ing was their choice. After a few nights of hard practice teams were chosen from the successful contestants as follows: Hazel Lartz, Lucile Kingston, Mar- garet Guthrie, Mildred West, Olive Maney and Alice Wylie made up one team. Anna Bullion, Lelah Rogers, Marion Sell, Hazel Muehl, Merle Boelter and Leona Anderson made up the other. Marjory Guthrie and Viola Kingston acted as substitutes. A series of five games is being played and a dinner will be given by the losing team to the winners. Page Twenty-seven 1919 THE ARROW 1919 ICmniUt amt ICamita The Lainda Tau Lamdas opened their third year of active work by a brief but peppy business meeting the third Tuesday of the school year. Gertrude Wylie was elected to the presidency. Mildred West was elected vice-president, Marjorie Gutherie was elected secretary and Alice Wylie was intrusted with the munificent fund of the club, 12 cents. Enthusiasm ranked high and everything pointed to a happy, successful year. Lam da Tau Lainda (L. T. L.) stands for the motto of the club, “Live to Love.’’ With the gloom of the war atmosphere which unavoidably permeated all phases of activity at the beginning of the ye ir the motto held a new and more significant meaning to each and every member of the club, and they con- scientiously started to make its influence felt not only within the club but out- side as well. Plans for the early initiation of Freshmen were interfered with by the “Flu” vacation. Finally the “Bashful Freshies” were received into the club in such a way that it will always be a pleasant memory. Oh no; they didn’t have to eat worms or anything like that. A mock initiation trained them in the way they should go as full-fledged Lamdas. Working on the principle that a girl hates to have her vanity hurt, more than her digestion, they were made to wear pigtails for a day to do homage to their elders and many other tantalizing little duties. Formal initiation and banquet closed the eventful day and the “Frosh” became really truly members not to mention Miss Murphy and Miss Chapman. As a means of making money the girls staged two Benefit Movies. The club plans to follow their usual custom and make a present to the school at the end of the year. Last year the girls donated a victrola which has surely been a great source of pleasure all year. Social gatherings were held at the school house about every two weeks. Among the types of parties held were Valentine Party, Hard Times Party and a Good Times Party. Bowling was an activity indulged in by the club with con- siderable interest and success. All the girls belong to the Junior Red Cross and are knitting scarfs for the poor suffering boys and girls in Europe. The Lamdas have enjoyed a very happy and profitable year due in no small part to the efficient leadership of their officers.

The banks 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 re- ceipt and a check book and asks no questions. You have then opened a bank account. Now to open an account at the store- well, that’s different---they always ask some questions. Citizens Bank of Mukwonago MUKWONAGO — WISCONSIN HEDDLES LUMBER CO. G. O.
