Text from Pages 1 - 76 of the 1923 volume:

And now we must bid you farewell, “Old High” Life is calling: “Move On”; “Play Your Part” But we leave with a sigh in our fond goodbye, And the old bell’s song in our heart. 'I £% Dedication To our Parents, who have made our years of school life commemora- ble, and who have been so staunch in their sup- port of all our projects, We, the class of nineteen hundred and twenty three gratefully and respectfully dedicate this, the seventh num- ber of— The ARROW. foreword Speed, little “Arrow”, and tell the world How the class of twenty-three Has labored to fashion you, true and straight, As a well-made arrow should be. Say that within your veins there glows The fire of youth’s magic art; That the hope and joy of life’s springtime Throbs in your eager heart. That you carry a sway banner, Emblem of Truth’s white way. That you stand at the front in the conflict, For justice and fair play. And may we, in the I’ace before us, Aim high, t’ward heights afar. True and straight, like the arrow, With truth for our guiding star. 192? t zz -TJ70 Arrow An open door, guiding the steps of youth Into the light of knowledge, power and truth.

CLASS COLORS: Green and White FLOWER: American Rose Ode to the Seniors Nigh unto the midnight dreary, as I pondered weak and weary O’er school annuals of forgotten lore Two whole hours I was sitting, when over my brain came flitting What succeeded in beguiling, my sad fancy into smiling, Smiling o’er the class of “twenty three”: When first we came to school ’Twas on a bright fall day, “Freshies green as grass,” The Sophs contemptuously did say. When next year we took our place Scorned no longer were we, We gave these Juniors a party And took our place with glee. As Juniors we grew haughty, And o’er all reigned supreme; Ask anyone and they will tell you Our Prom and Banquet were realized dreams. Thus four years have passed Green no more are we; Now far and wide you hear Of the class of ’23. The Senior Class of 1-9-2-3 We have finished our work and now are free. That sense of pleasure nothing can destroy— May all leave school with such a joy. M. C. M. PAGE SEVENTEEN 19 5 £3--Tl e Arrow- m Senior Class History About seventeen or eighteen years ago twenty nine lusty yells rent the air, and the world knew that the class of 1923 were making their first clamor for recognition as leaders. And needless to say, they are still yelling. Far down in 1919 these youngsters entered the portals of M. H. S. and claimed the title of Freshmen. The year was almost uneventful aside from the usual social activities. After a vacation of twelve weeks these kiddies again entered the door but with much lighter hearts, for were they not the tormentors in- stead of the tormented? The class contributed to Athletics by giving some of their members. The one event much enjoyed by everyone who attended was the Junior Prom. The next year, the so-called Junior year, was very quiet for these worthy youngsters (now quite grown up) had found that it was time to settle down and study. The last of the four years has come and we can truthfully say we are sorry to leave; however after this year we will no longer have a place in the high school, while in the world we will. So endeth the happy High School History of the Class of 1923. C. E.

I- 213-Tl)e Ar'r’ow—1 2 Junior Class Events The Junior Prom and Farewell Ball, given in honor of the Seniors, was held on Friday evening, April sixth, at the U. U. Hall. It was socially a success. About seventy couples attended, and all reported a good time. The hall was beautifully decorated with boughs and clusters of various colored flowers. The orchestra was enclosed within a bower of white lattice-work which was decorated with vines and flowers. The room was lighted with many old-rose floor lamps which corresponded with the decorations. In one corner stood the punch bowl and around the room were davenports and wicker and overstuffed chairs and rockers. The Broadway Entertainers furnished the music. The college play, “Home Came Ted” was given in the middle of the year, and was a financial and social success. The parts were well enacted and showed that the class was not lacking in dramatical instincts. The character parts were especially well played. The profits were used for class benefits and in paying for the Junior share of the Arrow fund. OFFICERS .... Alex. Hunter ..John Chapman Howard Sheridan ... Franklin Buell President................

After a few months had passed the problem of raising our share of the money for the Arrow was confronting us so we helped serve supper at the Fireman’s dance and held a cake sale and candy sale. By these means, we secured enough money for the Arrow and a picture “The Spirit of ‘76” which we presented to the school. After the withdrawal of two of our members and the addition of one, our enrollment became 21. We are represented by Lloyd Meyer and Amos Christenson in Football and Gustav Scheffel and Lester Goetsch in Baseball. R. L. PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN Freshmen PAGE THIRTY £3-Tt)« Arrow 192 192 History Thirty-one freshmen went to school on September the eighteenth, 1923. Soon after school started we called a class meeting and elected the following officers: Paul McDade, president, Aileene Klemme, vice president; Dorothy West, secretary; Robert Henderson, treasurer. A few weeks later the president called a meeting for the purpose of reading us an invitation to a Gypsy party, given by the Sophomores. Wc readily accepted it. Here we were readily initiated. After much embar- rassment for the poor “frosh”, we played games and had refreshments. Thanks to the Sophomores we had a good time. On April twentieth we entertained the Sophomores at a party. A candy sale was held on March fifteenth in the Domestic Science room, for the purpose of raising our fund for the Arrow. At the Fire- man’s dance both classes, Freshmen and Sophomores, served lunch, in order to increase our quota for the Arrow. We lost two members during the year, but we are hoping to reach port safely in 1926, with one of the largest classes in the history of our school.

They were a scream-----with their green caps, long dresses turned inside out, hair parted in the middle and hanging perfectly straight, unmated shoes and stockings, and green rib- bons around their ear rings. They excelled in being good entertainers. They did everything from assisting their upper classmen in removing their coats and rubbers to staying respectfully in the assembly until everyone had passed out, then the “watchful eye” permitted them to leave. Oh and you should have seen them jig and whisper—when Mr. Boortz wasn’t looking they even slid down the banister—amidst mingled shouts of glee and protest. They also rapped for admittance to assemb’y and classes- At evening initiation much more consideration for the individual was shown. They were an awfully hungry bunch though. You should have seen them eating doughnuts on a string, drinking milk from a bottle, and water from a spoon and eating crackers and whistling. We treated them to an aeroplane ride and had them chase chalk across the room with their noses. Taken as a whole everyone enjoyed themselves. Our Christmas party was a Mother Goose party. Miss Pardee, our faculty adviser was Mother Goose. Everyone there from Pierot to Bo Peep. The Sheper- dess, Jack Spratt and wife, and the Queen of Hearts. Eats, candy and appropriate gifts with a verse explaining each were given. Cootie cages, diamond rings, furniture of all kinds, means of conveyance such as trains, steamboats, etc. Our officers for this year are: President ...........................................

Due to a late start and our inability to secure games with schools of our calibre we were forced to play schools larger than us or not play at all. The first game we played was with East Troy on our own campus. The game proved to be a walk-away for us although East Troy may be excused as it was the first year they have had a football team. However it showed how we played against schools of our own size. v V PAGE FORTY-TWO ZZ3-Tlje Arrow- 1 2 Football Review-Continued The second game also took place on our own Campus. In this game we played St. John’s Cathedral High School of Milwaukee. The game proved to be more difficult for the home team than the first, but we beat them by a safe margin. The third game in line was played with the West Division High School of Milwaukee. This game, like the two former games, was played on our own gridiron. In this game we played our best brand of football, holding our strong opponents scoreless for three quarters of the game. In the fourth quarter finding they could gain nothing in straight football they opened up an aerial attack by which means they succeeded in getting the long end of the score. Our first game away from home was played at West Allis. In this game we were beaten but it was not such a disgrace as West Allis was the chief contender for the state championship in football. The fifth game of the season was played with the Whitewater Normal High School at Whitewater. Although they are a larger school we suc- ceeded in gaining a victory. The sixth game took place on our own Campus. In this we met the Pio Nona College (preparatory school) of Saint Francis. The game did not appear to display our best skill of football. Although Pio Nona beat us by a small score we could not help but feel that the outcome should have been the reverse. On Thanksgiving day we played at home the Korbel Motor Company’s team of Milwaukee. The game was a Korbel victory and was the last game of the season of 1922. The prospects of 1923 are bright as there is an abundance of good, if not heavy, material. 4 PAGE FORTY-THREE 192} i ZZ3--Ttje Ar'r'ow 192} Forrest Lobdell Captain THE LINEUP Chester Perkins .....................

It had been sultry and threatening all day, but at six o’clock the weather changed and gave promises of a wonderful May evening. Larry was to escort Peggy Williams, the belle of Kingsboro, “and if I don’t make a hit,” he thought, it won’t be my fault ’cause I’m going to “sneak Dad’s dress suit with the help of Sis.” By the by,—Kenneth Hudson was also very anxious to take Peggy but Larry was first. At last it was time to dress. Larry had barely finished his shower before he heard frantic knocking at his door. “What do you want now?” Was his gruff response. “Oh Larry, what on earth are we going to do?” Wailed Sis. “Mother sent the suit to the tailor and it won’t be back until morning.” “Well all I can do is wear my tweeds. Hand ’em out! Oh I forgot! Last time I wore them I sat down in your old paint box. My flannels are dirty. What am I going to do? Why can’t mother leave things alone? Well say something, don’t sit there like King Tut in his tomb.” “Well maybe you could wear you’re black suit, it’s in a trunk at the south side of the attic,” came meekly from Sis. From Larry, “It’s darn hot and that suit has been in a trunk under six bed spreads for three months but I guess it’s the best I can do.” Then came the sound of hammering and muffled talking for Larry couldn’t find the key to the trunk. Finally off came the cover with such a jerk that he landed face downward in a pile of mattresses. At last he had the suit and was again in his own room but this time his collar was wilted and his hands were much smudged with dust. He repeated his plunge in the wash bowl, changed his collar, and got into the black suit. Hardly had he walked out of his room than a peculiar odor arose. Feeling in his pockets he drew forth ten white very round balls. Mother Marsh was guarding against moths. In disgust Larry threw the balls from the window but it was of no use. The farther down the hall he walked, the worse became the odor. It was too much! He returned to his room and flung himself angrily on the bed. In a few minutes he heard light steps on the stairs and then a timid knock on the door. “Who is it?” Roughly frcm the bed. “Sis, and Larry—the suit came early and I guess mother knew you wanted to wear it because she told me to bring it right up. Here it is.” Larry clamored into the dress suit as quickly as possible and rushed frcm the house just in time to see Kenneth Hudson and Peggy, the girl of his heart, going by, in Ken’s red racer to the Prom. “Well I’ll go anyway and perhaps I can get a few dances,” thought Larry. He sped on and in a short time arrived at the hall. The first person he saw was Peggy, who rushed to meet him. “Oh I’m glad you’re here! Kenneth said you were detained and that you would meet me here. I’ve saved six dances for you.” And so she rambled on. “Well I’ll be blamed, Er, ah! Oh Yes! Kenneth was very good I’m sure,” as soon as Larry could comprehend what she had said. Although it is still a mystery as to how Kenneth found out that Larry was really detained. Lawrence K. Marsh had “the time of his life.” V. E. Porter ’25. PAGE FORTY-EIGHT 1925 i 213---Tl)e Arrow- Literary 1925 An Old Maid’s Heart (with apology to Addison for using his style) This being my last article on the dis section of hearts I will try to give a thorough account of my examinations. W e will take the heart of an old maid as the subject of our operation- The pericardium proves to be very tough—so tough, indeed, that the operator has a hard time opening it. The outside of the heart proves to be very calloused and hard. A close examina tion of it with a microscope fails to reveal anything so we will now proceed to dissect the heart proper. The operator finds the heart very tough and impervious to all his surgical instruments so he tries cupid’s lance, a very sharp instrument of case hardened steel. After a bit of hard, diligent work the operator managed to chip off a tiny portion of the very outside part of the heart. A close examination of it with a glass reveals a faint impression of a man about twenty one years old. All of our combined efforts to open up the heart fail so that it is a’l of the information I can give in regard to information regarding this heart. Alex. Hunter ’24. Umbrellas and Their Habits I had often wondered why Uncle Da was never known to have carried one, and would always insist that his rain coat was result of some foolish superstition he had plain it.

Description of a Rainy Night I sat by the window, gazing out upo n a scene that made me lonesome. The rain was coming down in sheets, wrapping the landscape in a misty garment. A street car went past carrying a few passen gers to their destination. A few hurrying pedestrians, with rain coats and umbrellas, went down the sidewalk, probably looking forward to home with a warm supper and cheerful fire. A few birds huddled in the trees with their heads tucked under their wings to protect them from the driving rain. A lone policeman, on his evening beat, walked back and forth for the length of the block, swinging his club in his hand. His collar was turned up and his head was 1 lowered against the wind. V | 3. PAGE FORTY-NINE 1923 £3----Tl)e Arrow Literary Continued As I sat there gazing into vacancy and thinking of nothing in particular, the street lights were turned on. Immediately the scene before me changed. The land- scape looked like a ghost dressed in white, with its ghastly and horrible aspect. Just then another street car passed, carrying a few passengers, probably labor- ers going to their homes. I became tired o f gazing out into the desolate looking and now entirely empty street, so I turned my back on the scene and went to find a book to read, thinking as I went that if ever a “ feller needed a friend” it was on a rainy night. C. Andereck ’23 A Night In June It was a night in June. Overhead the moon shown brightly on a gaily lighted garden. Daintily dressed maidens and their escorts moved from place to place. On the whole it was a scene of peace, joy, and happiness. Across a clear crystal- like lake just below the garden, the moon reflected it’s rays upon many canoes glid- ing over its waters. The clear male voices wh ich floated across the lake as accompanied by the strains of a ukelele were pleasant to the ears of those in the garden. To all except two- They were oblivious of everyone save themselves. The man’s voice low and persuasive was answered by the equall y low determined voice of the maiden. They were wandering toward the lake and a canoe chained to the pier. The man’s voice became more insistent, the maiden’s more determined. They got into the canoe and the man dexteriously paddled it away from shore. From a pocket in her wrap the maiden cautiously removed a bottle. “Mary I forbid you! If you won’t listen to reason,”—the man spoke angrily. “Oh you make me weary. I’ll do it but you needn’t have talked so much about that blonde when you knew I couldn’t help the color of my hair,” replied the maiden. Into the lake theyy threw a bottle of peroxide. M. C. Mich ’23. The Dissection of a Teacher’s Heart (With Apology to Addison) I shall now enter upon the dissection of a teacher’s heart and communicate to the public what we observed in it. Cur operator told us that there was nothing in his art more difficult than to lay open the heart of a teacher- First we observed the pericardium, and by the aid of our magnifying glass saw many little spuares which seemed to be books of all kinds. We found a thin reddish liqu.d in th s pericardium, which upon examining, we found to have the qualities of that ambition wh.ch is used in a thermometer to show change of weather. Now I thought I would experiment with this so 1 took it home and put it into a glass tube. I found that if a smart person entered the room the liquid would rise and it the person was dull or dumb it would not. I noticed also that if one put a book at the bottom of it, it wou.d rise and when taken away would drop. After studying about the pericardium we came to the heart itself. The outward surface was cold, dull, and hard as a stone. It was observed that it was connected so as to communicate with the brains and tongue. Upon weighing it we found it to be very heavy and upon looking into the in side of it we saw millions of cells. Upon using our magnifying glasses we saw that these cells were filled with examination papers, questions, report cards, etc. There were no faces to be found but one which was at the center or core of the heart- We all recognized this as the most bri.liant pupil in our school. We resolved to make an experiment of this heart, so we put it in a nan of coals. It was not affected for a long time but all of a sudden it popped open and disappeared. This produced such a violent shake in my brain that it left me wide awake and then I realized that it was all a dream- V. V. Grutzmacher ’24 PAGE FIFTY 1923 i 33--Tl)e Arrow- Humor 192?
