The Torch Annual 1 9 2 9 North Freedom High School North Freedom, W is. 5Jzaf?uP'f Ji mi f ,,,oJY?f Vol. II Dedication To those who have made this school year an outstanding success from every angleg those who have given freely of their talents, time, and energyg those who have unflinchingly borne the cost of our instruction, and those who were always on hand to encourage and help us in our student undertakings, we, the Class of 1930, respectfully and thankfully dedicate this book. .SQ Forword This is our second attempt in the publication of school annuals. Thanks to experience gained by the work of last year, we found this year's task an easier and more pleasant one. Last year's undertaking was an adventureg this year's was a more pleasant continuation along a beaten path. With the presentation of this issue we feel that the Annual has be- come an established institution in our school. The students know that it can be done. It should be expected of students as one of the major activities in their school life. Let us look for an Annual each year, The undertaking must never be discontinued. Our best wishes for success go to the publishers of the 1930 Annual. Page Two in memoriam .92 The year 1928-29 witnessed the passing of two figures prominently associated with our school life. We dedicate this pa e to their memory. .SQ Henry M. Eschenbach, President of our Board of Education for three terms, died as the result of an appendicitis operation. He lived to be 51 years of age. .92 Claire Joe Hayes, member of our Sophomore Class and snare drummer in our band, died as the result of a ruptured blood vessel due to violent coughing. He was 19 years of age. Page Three Le Roy Goodrich Albert R. Schumann Lucille Lamb High School Faculty ALFRED R. SCHUMANN Mr. Schumann, principal of our school, is a graduate of the State Teachers' College at La Crosse, Wisconsin, and of Ripon College of Ripon, Wisconsin. He holds a Ph. B. degree. Besides teaching History and English, Mr. Schumann has charge of the school band. The past year was Mr. Schumann's second year here. LE ROY A.. GOODRICH Mr. Goodrich, our assistant principal, holds a B. A. degree from the University of Minnesota. He teach-es Science and M athematics, and coaches athletics. This was his first year in our school. LUCILLE LAMB Miss Lamb, who is a graduate of the State Teachers' College at Stevens Point, is our Home Economics teacher. In addition to that she has charge of the Glee Club and girls' activities in general. This was also her first year with us. Page Fo11r -.4-ew Our School For over a generation the main part of the building shown above, has thrown open its doors to the Children of North Freedom. Six years ago, in a public gathering called for the purpose, some of the sons and daughters of this building, together with other public-spirited people of the village, decided to build a high school addition. To them this build- ing pictured here, is a monument. May we as students justify the faith they have put in us by doing our best at all times. By so doing, and only so, can we decisively answer the question, Does education pay ? Page Five 1 1 w Page Six AUGUSTA C.

The class was well represented in forensics, athletics, music and all other phases of school life where general good spiri.t was needed, Outstanding achieve- ments of the class this year were the originating of the standard school design for class rings, publication of this book, and publication of one monthly issue of the Torch paper.

Bonita Myers Judging by the elaborate and painstaking initiation given the Fresh- men by the Sopohomores at the beginning of the year, we expected the Class of 1931 to be a live wire throughout the school year. Judgment erred. however, and the class lapsed into a state of blissful quietude. We again heard of them when they made 1-1 very fine showing in declam- :ztory and oratory.

Bernadine Wilzewske The Freshman Class is one of our very best from every standpoint. Its members co-operate perfectly with one another, and every inter-class contest iinds them formidable contestants. Due to their youth and in- experience in high school affairs, we do not iind them as winners of the Spirit Banner, but in all years to follow the present one, the Class of 1932 will be the pace-setter. Page Eleven Athletics In many respects, and from all standpoints, our athletic season was one of outstanding success. Our school has always been somewhat active in Basketball, but this year our energies were more materially rewarded than they had been in the past. The treasury in connection with this sport was also in a very healthy condition. The team did so well that it was found logical to equip the team with brland new four-piece uniforms of a beautiful orange and black color scheme for next year. Track was more fully developed this year than previously. More boys took part and gained benefit from the sport. Although no foreign Eaurels were won, the boys showed excellent physical development and a very fine spirit. A great revival took place when baseball was introduced as a major activity. At the time of thi.s publication we are unable to record a single victory, but where a sport develops clean playing, good team work and conscientious attention to weaknesses, victories can be sacrificed. We look for a winning team next year. Basketball Basketball was the outstanding activity of the year. This was due to the fact that efforts in that line were more materially crowned with success than were others. A league was formed this year, of which La Valle, Cazenovia, Lime Ridge and North Freedom were members. At the close of the regular season, La Valle and North Freedom found themselves tied for first place. A game played at Reedsburg to decide this tie was won by North Freedom. The victory gave the winners a beautiful trophy which now stands in our main room. On March 21 the team went to the Reedsburg tournament where they did the most brilliant piece of work of the season. The first en- counter was with Kendall, whose six-foot team looked like winners, but soon after the whistle blew it was evident that size was no match for the North Freedom half-pint forwards. Kendall was held throughout the first half, to only one basket. Our boys succeeded in piling up twelve points. At the close of the game, the score stood in our favor, 28 to 8. On the second day of the tournament we met the exceptionally tall Norwalk team against whom all teams lost. With a center so tall that once the ball was in his possession, no one could reach it, Norwalk walked away with the tournament. We are proud to say that our team gave the Norwalk her biggest scare. They won all their games by big margins, but we came within one point of defeating them. The score stood 11-12. The personnel of the team was, forwards: E. Schara, P. Lange, A. Johnson, C. Ristaug guards, R. Griep, W. Schmidt, Center and captain, W. Schara, Coach, Mr. Goodrich. Page Twelve N6RTm5LDOm ..,.,f ' SQPQG Gu PruL.L.ANc,s CARL RQSTAU - fwo. . 1 fwo.

No sport ever became popular so instantaneously, nor did any remain popular so long as this one., It was thought that tennis would be a pleasant pastime for the students during the winter months, but up to the last week of school we found students playing this game in the gymnasium. Several tournaments were staged in which Carl Ristau and Philipp Lange emerged as tennis champions for the boys, and Rita Griep stood supreme among the girls. - Now that the game is thoroughly understood, and as it is so popular, some preparations ought to be made for the construction of outdoor tennis courts. Track Earnest effort marked the track work this year. Almost every day one could see Mr. Goodrich and his boys practicing the several feats called for in this work. At the track meet in Baraboo, Walter Schara was successful in getting a first in the half mile. In view of the fact that this was the only iirst that Prairie du Sac failed to get at the meet in which four schools par- ticipated, Walter's .accomplishment is outstanding. The boys are now more familiar with the several phases of track work, and much improvement is looked for next year. An inter-class track meet was staged at the time of the carnival, but as this book was in the hands of the printer before that time, we cannot state results here. Baseball All glory that was to be won in baseball this year had to be done by a very inexperienced team. As no baseball team had been sponsored by the school for a number of years, the boys were not so familiar on the diamond as they were on the basketball Hoor. Consequently all games this year went against us. But the future looks much brighter. Several promising players have been unearthed, and coming seasons should bring more victories.

Golden Spaulding , Ruth Ziemke . Miss Lamb Treasurer Adviser .... The Camp Fire Girls organization is one of the most uplifting activi- ties in our school. This group was organized a year ago by Miss Doering. Although the group was not so active in school affairs this year as it might have been, its members were closely bound to each other and ex- perienced several very good times. The group took several hikes, a trip to Baraboo, and enjoyed several parties. We look for increased activity from this group as it grows older and feels its importance.

Not many schools of our size can boast an organization that has lasted as long as ours. True, many small schools have had bands, but the great majority of them, do not enjoy them longer than a few years. Our band seems to be a permanently established institution here. The above picture is a year old. Members now in the band who had not yet entered at the time the picture was taken, are named below the picture. The band was organized by Mr. Nealy in 1924. Mr. Schumann has had charge of it the past two years. Page Sixteen Girls' Glee Club Tupf--fll1i'icli, Putz, Giese, li.

Wilzcwske The success of the organization is largely determined by its public activities. With that statement for our authority. we can say that the Glee Club this year was one of our most successful groups. The operetta, My Spanish Sweetheart, which was presented in spring, was an out- standing performancc. The plot was fairly complicated, and the vocal parts somewhat difficult, but the presentation was excellent. We hope that the girls who did their initial work in the society this year will profit by their experiences and develop into soloists so that they will be able to take the places of the soloists now leaving school. In addition to the operetta, the Glee Club was on hand several times when music was needed at public functions. Miss Lamb, sponsor for this organization, is entitled to much of the credit for the season's success. Page Seventeen gv lfligllim Student Council An organization new in our school life this year was the Student Council. This organization was composed of two members elected by each class, and a president elected by the entire student body, Members for the past year were, for the Freshmen, Thelma Putz and Dean Hackettg for the Sophomores, Hazel Hintz and Claire Hayes who was succeeded by Erwin Scharag for the Juniors, Wilbur Schmidt and Helen Dickie, for the Seniors, Carl Ristau and Rita Griep. The president ot the organiz- ation was Philipp Lange. The purpose of this organization was to familiarize the students with the problems of self-government. By being attentive to their own con- duct as a group, a better type of citizenship was developed. Several laws were discussed and passed by this group which did much toward creat- ing a better public spirited atmosphere throughout the school. It is hoped that this organization may continue throughout future years. Boys' Athletic Association For the purpose of interesting every boy in school in some form of athletics, a Boys' Athletic Association was organized. This group, which included all the boys in school, arranged a well rounded program of athletic events which would appeal to every boy. It was decided that boys who did creditable work in five phases of athletics should be awarded a school HN. In addition to this, the boys who represented the school on the basketball team, were awarded a service bar on their letters. We can truthfully say that this organization accomplished more than its purpose. Every boy took part in some form of athletics. In most schools where only major sports are stressed, the majority of the boys must sit on the sidelin-es. Here we had all boys taking part and being benefitted. Girls' Athletic Association Similar to the boys' organization of this name, the girls also wanted to bring each girl out into the open for her share of athletics, Hiking clubs, volley ball, basketball, tennis, track and indoor baseball were found on their program for the year. It was not merely a suggested program. Every one of the above events was well patronized, and some skillful girl athletics were developed. The girls also had an award which was given to those who distinguished themselves. At the time of this printing we are unable to list the names of those receiving the award. Page Nineteen School Paper Quality was the watchword in the publication of our school paper this year. Rather than publish many issues of an ordinary type, it was decided to publish an issue each month. The monthly issue then war- ranted more time in preparation of both content and advertising material. The advertising program was well received by local merchants, and to them the students are very grateful, for we know that without the advertising, the paper would have been impossible. 'With each issue, a very pleasing and appropriate cover design was selected, This added much to the beauty and attractiveness of the paper. Elveryone receiving a copy of the paper was greatly pleased, and very much surprised at the outstanding quality of it. A great number of compliments came to us from many sources. So that a larger number of students could benefit from the undertak- ing, it was decid-ed to have a change of staff with each issue. Philipp Lange and Carl Ristau had charge of the business side of the venture throughout the entire year. The editors of the several issues were, Augusta Bauer, Josephine Draper, Rita Griep, Ruth Dickie, and Helen Dickie. The School Annual The problem of the school Annual, although a heavy one for a school of our size, was attacked with vigor. The Class of 1930 decided early in the year that they would continue the project originated a year ago. A staff was appointed at once and work was begun in earnest. The class decided to follow the first Annual as much as possible although the color and several arrangements were to be changed. A great increase in advertising is noticed this year, which is due to the hustling tactics of the business managers. From every standpoint, the Annual this year was a success. Those largely responsible for its publication are named below: Editors-in-Chief--Ruth and Helen Dickie. Business Managers-Philipp Lange and Wilbur Schmidt. Department Editors-Andrew Johnson, Golden Spaulding, Burnita Giese, Helen Fredrick, Lillian Chute, Ruth Ziemke, Lucile Lange and Anna Brooks. Page Twenty Forensics Forensics again occupied the stage as one of our chief school activities. This year, however, we went into the work in all of its phases, and had contests in oratory, declamatory, extemporaneous reading and extemperaneous speaking. All participants did exceptionally well, and although they may not realize it, the benefit they derived from their par- ticipation is immeasurable. In the preliminary contest to determine who was to represent the school, we had five contenstants in declamautory. They were Florence Ulrich, winner of first placeg Ruth Dickie, winner of second place, Bonita Myers, Helen Fredrick, and Helen Dickie, In oratory we had Wilbur Schmidt, who was decided the winner, and Theodore Evarts. Philipp Lange was the only participant in Extemporaneous Reading, while Jose- phine Draper and Ruth Dickie took part in Extemporaneous Speaking. In the last named contest, Josephine Draper was declared the winner. Our school again competed with the schools of Cazenovia and Kil- bourn in the league contest. From the standpoint of winning first place, we were highly unsuccessful. Of the four events, Cazenovia won first place in all except declamatory. Kilbourn won first place in that contest. How- ever, each of the contests was closely contested, and we were second in each of them. Slight pressure one way or the other would have given us a first. Although we regret not winning first place in these events, we are somewhat consoled by having been defeated by such fine young men and women as both Cazenovia and Kilbourn sent here for the contest. We like to compete with these schools because they are so sportsmanlike and would take defeat with a smile just as they are now overjoyed with their victory. Our best wishes go with them to the district contest at White- water. . A Page Twenty-Clie Pu ge Twenty-Two The Alumni We are able at this time to give a brief record of our Alumni.

Twenty-Four A 1929 Class History In the fall of 1925, fourteen Freshmen entered the North Freedom High School, there to remain for four years. ln that short time they were to absorb all the knowledge that their instructors could give them, and, incidentally, broaden their perspective in many ways. From the day of their entrance to the day of graduation, there was more intel- lectuality in the atmosphere than was ever known before, or probably ever will be known again. Upon entrance into High School the class roll read as follows: Augusta Bauer, Josephine Draper. Rita Griep, Lucian Drescher, Josephine Gurgel, Viola Hayes, Mona Hewitt, Andrew Johnson, Edith Holtz, Carl Ristau, Walter Schara, Floyd Wiese, Florence Ulrich,. With Carl Ristau as presi- dent, this remarkable class had little difficulty in adjusting itself to the 'new methods. Beginning as Freshmen, these students were nearly one hundred per cent active for four years in forensic work, basketball, glee club and band. The class found two members missing when roll was taken the fol- lowing fall fLucian Drescher and Floyd Wiesel The outstanding achieve- ments of the class this year were the Freshman-Sophomore banquet, di- rected by Miss Thomas, and a Sophomore Hop. During the Junior year the class experienced an entire change of teachers, which meant new management and methods. Even though the Class of '30 was awarded the Spirit Banner, the Class of '29 believes it deserves some credit for the successful issuing of a School Annual for the first time in its history, and for the work done on the first school paper. The class entertained the Seniors in a very creditable manner at the annual Junior-Senior banquet. Almost before the class was aware of it, it had become the Senior Class, filling a place which had seemed so far away. No year seemed to pass so quickly as this. This year has been to the Seniors very important and interesting. The choice of the class motto, ring, flower, colors, announcement of awards, and the various class and school plays have all been items of interest. We are at the close of four of the happiest years of our lives, In all the hurry and bustle of the last functions in our honor, we want to stop for a moment to bid good-bye to the N. F. H. S. and to thank the dear old school for the work it has done in aiding us in our desire to be- come plain-living, high-thinking men and women. Page Twenty-Five SIR ROGER DE COVERLY Just as I finished the last page of my book-Sir Roger de Coverly Papers-the telephone rang. My immediate reaction can be expressed in three words: Let it ring. For one thing, I was comfortable, and another, it is my habit, as soon as I finish a book, to think about how I would change the hero to suit me. The amazing thing about this situation was that Sir Roger completely suited me. 1 put the book on the end table and relighted my pipe, quite confident that I could find some flaw in his character. For some few moments I sat, gazin into the fire. Suddenly I had at strong desire to feel the night air. Gathering together necessary apparel I made a dash for the street. After I had gone a few blocks, I felt a light tap on my shoulder. Turning about, I found myself face to face with Sir Roger himself. Imagine my feelings when he said, Say, brother, isn't there anything going on in London anymore ? Trying to conceal my amazement, I murmured something about an eating place. Dazed as I was, and being somewhat hungry, I led him to a cafe. As soon as he had partaken of some food, he began to talk. Did you ever read the de Coverly Papers? he asked. Without allowing me to answer, he continued, I nearly laughed myself sick over some of that tosh my friend Addison concocted--especially about the widow, She was a beautiful woman as far as I know, but that tommy-rot about brains! Her mind reminds 1ne of a vacuum falling into a void-beautiful but dumb, don't you know. I'd have married my dairy maid sooner. And my servants-diddling old chumps--they were exactly the opposite- -J. D. A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT Nestled close to the base of a great green hill, is a beautiful little home. The cottage itself is made of dull red stone. Gayly ruffled curtains are hung at all the windows and a thin column of smoke rises straight to the clear blue sky overhead. The home is surrounded by a lovely garden for which several low, spreading trees furnish the shade. Narrow, pebbled paths lead in and out from among the well-tended flower beds, and quite near a pansy bed, a small fountain plays. Beside the house, a little child in pink rompers playing in a heap of yellow sand which is piled against a low stone wall over which wild honeysuckle vines are creeping. It is hard to imagine anything but peace and harmony among these picturesque surroundings. Page Twenty-Six CAFLISCH MCKINLEY OPSAHL LAWRENZ Our Grade Faculty Although not directly connected with high school affairs, we feel that a picture of our grade teachers is highly appropriate in our Annual. Our grades are in the same building and we have daily contact with the teach- ers. Also we know these teachers as the instructors of our younger bro- thers and sisters, and consequently, those who may read this book because of interest in us, may have the same amount of interest in the younger children and their teachers. MISS MARGERY CAFLISCH Miss Cafiisch is completing her sixth year as a teacher in our schools. She has always had charge of the two upper grades. The present grad- uating class was at one time one of her classes. Her home is in Baraboo, and she is a graduate of that high school. She has been attending summer sessions at the university regularly. MISS EDAN MCKINLEY Miss McKinley is completing her first year as a teacher here. She came to us from Platteville State Teachers' College, and she has charge of our fifth grades. Her home is in Lancaster. I MISS EL FRIEDA OPSAHL Miss Opsahl also is just completing her first year here. She came from the State Teachers' College at La Crosse and teaches our Third and Fourth grades.
