JyJ -f. ! 1 ' ■V v ' A I ' iiMBiiMaBOHBuaa— MaaBBOB In publishing our year book, we, the Senior Class, have attempted to present to the reader, in an informal manner, the everyday routine of scholastic life in the P. J. Jacobs High School. We have tried to picture our studies and our extra-curricular activities, and to portray the beauty and modernity of this building. It is our sincere hope that our readers will enjoy the 1939 Tattler as much as we have liked publishing it. c TATTLER Sn - -- ' CONTENTS Calendar Personnel Administration _9_cademics _9_thletics Advertising PAGE 9 QcdeH ia i PAGE 10 RjiJtirfr • ; ■ SEPTEMBER Once again the well-worn path to the school door is swarmed by knowledge-seeking (?) youths, hurrying to the first session in our new school. Amid the strange surroundings it seems mighty good to sight a few familiar faces. The traditional welcome assembly is held in the morning, and it seems that this year no jokes are in order about the green freshies . For the first time in history, we upper classmen haven ' t anything on the young stuff , seeing as how they know about as much concerning the layout of the school as we do. Anyway we certainly aren ' t quite as dumb as the freshies — for instance, the day after Mr. Kraus commanded us to put our noses to the grindstone 30 odd Freshmen came to school with discreetly bandaged smellers. (It ' s a fact) One of the year ' s first assemblies was held commemorating the memory of our deceased teacher, Miss Alice Leahy. Ah. our football team makes its debut invading Merrill only to be driven back 8-0. (Oh v ell — it v rasn ' t a conference game). Everybody ' s got the boo-hoos to- day. Reason — our ball-carrying he-roes lost to Marshfield Oh my! sadness again! It was Wausau this time (20-0). Tears and more tears All ' round school, clubs are getting back in swing Among the infants this year are the Bat Roost club (Boys ' Pep club), the F. F. A. and the Student Council. OCTOBER A big pep assembly was held in the gym for the Nekoosa game with several peppy cheer leaders directing the yells But honestly — we just can ' t be jolly for we lost to Nekoosa by one point The jitterbugs held a jam ses- sion in the gym with the circle two-step and Lambeth walk claiming the highlights of the evening Our football men trekked to Rhinelander only to be defeated 34-0. (Say, can ' t somebody break this jinx?) Our eleven battled An- tigo ' s squad. Score 41-0. ' Nuff said!!! Our annual magazine selling campaign was launched by the Crowell Publish- ing company How many thousand subscriptions did you sell?? The student councilors are busy preparing for the annual homecoming festival sponsored under their leadership. We had a lively pep meeting in the gym, and a huge bonfire and snake dance were held the night before the game. The morning of the game a big ribbon sale was held and in the afternoon there was the biggest (and best) Homecoming parade in years. The variety of floats distin- guished the parade as one to be long remembered. In the evening the team tied Rapids (6-5) and after the game a big dance was held in the gym More fun!! Senior class elections were conducted this month. The under classmen need more time to vote for their class leaders — so their elections were conveniently postponed. PAGE 11 NOVEMBER Our school rooms were transformed into plains from the wild and woolly West the first night of this month. Yes — you ' ve guessed it — our 26th annual Fair. It was a costume affair this year, and after visiting the mess-halls, ranches, and barrooms , a big round-up dance with grand march was held in the gym. Hi-ho-Silver! Oh heck!! the teachers will be gone three days for their annual state convention. (Gosh! how we ' ll miss the dear things!) And now another free day for Armistice The Girls ' Pep club held a fitting assembly the day before Armistice at which they presented the school with a beautiful American flag as a gift from the club. Mr. Bannerman, principal of Wausau Senior High school, also gave us a very interesting talk on our country All of us kiddies got a big thrill for the one and only Dizzy Dean made a personal appearance in the high school gym after school. Even though this is November, ' tis said that many baseball fans went home after the meeting and dug out the of bat and ball. Turkey Trot sponsored by band members was held in the gym. Games of skill, shooting galleries and a hamburger stand were some of the most patronized attractions. By the way — did you win a door prize, or better yet, a turkey? The morning before Thanksgiving the high school and grade students marched in a body to the home of Jules Iverson, who had done much for the good of Stevens Point youth. There we presented him with an appreciation paper, signed by nearly 3000 students School out in the afternoon to start off the Thanksgiving holidays Thanksgiving! — ah, this is the day we break our week ' s diet! Have we ever got an appetite for that crisp, brown turkey and pumpkin pie — fall to, every- body!! The day after — ooh! our poor tummies — now we know why we have to have a free day after Thanksgiving. DECEMBER The High School band opened December ' s social program with a concert held the first night of this month Our basketball season was also inaugurated this month with a game against Tomahawk .(And we won too, — by heck!) Oh yes, we got our long awaited report cards today. Well, anyway, this second six-weeks the teachers couldn ' t hand us a C with that line of Well, I ' ll have to get to know you better before I can give you any better grades , etc. Beginner ' s Luck certainly brought the Junior class much favorable comment and generous financial reward. Every- one pronounced the class play one of the best they ' ve seen Basketball game at Rhinelander. Oooh, how we blush to think of that score — (59-24) — Now that the Juniors have elected their class officers everyone is beginning to wonder who Dobber will pick as his queen Another game with Merrill here, and did we beat them??? You bet we did! And yet another at Antigo, and as luck would have it, we lost by a single point The Commercial students took their annual tour through the Hardware Mutual Insurance offices All of our future business executives returned with fixed ideas on speed, efficiency, and the like The hockey squad donned their red flannels and reported for their first practice Looks like some good material for the team The D. O. P. E. club held their informal dancing party in the gym The crowd was rather small What ' s the matter with you bashful boys? Hurray, our Christmas holidays are nearly here — just a few more shopping days till| Santy Claus comes! A holiday assembly was held the day before vacation under the direction of the Student Council. Professor Steiner of CSTC was the guest speaker. Merry Christmas, everybody! The Alumni defeated our tsam in a game held during the holidays — a dance was held after the game. (Oh, these jitterbugs!!) The last day of the old year — and then — New Year ' s Eve! (Wasn ' t THAT a Sweet Little Headache ?). PAGE 12 ■ Kwi nfT fi tifin i ii i ■ ■■SHKIHBBH JANUARY The first day of the New Year And piles and piles of good resolutions Judging from today these coming 365 days are certainly just a sweet little headache School starts again and we ' re all back on the job. (Per usual). Basketball game at Rapids. We started the New Year wrong and lost 44-43. (Tut! tut!) Friday, the 13th — but who cares! We ' re not superstitious (much! ). Anyway, we won the Marshfield game played in our gym with a score of 23-19. (With an overtime at that!) Musical assembly with the High School orchestra and Boys ' Glee club perform- ing — tra la la! Game at Nekoosa Woe for us! Semester exams are upon us. The all-school motto for the week is Grind, groan and gone. Game with Wausau here Gorsh! all the purty girls!!! Anyway, girls or no girls we lost by a few points Another game with Antigo Jeepers Creepers!! we lost again The debating squad has started arguing under the direction of Mr. Moreau. Seems to us there are more and more people out for this each year Intramural basketball is in full swing with more boys out for it than ever. And leave it up to the fellows to choose the snoozy names! Some of the flashiest team titles are Jitterbugs , Angels and T verps The twelfth annual gym exhibit is being held in the gym This year in addition to the boys ' and girls ' gym classes, and Girls ' Tumbling club, the seventh and eighth grade Emerson boys performed Whe v! are they limber The Sophomore class held their annual party in the Emerson gym on Saturday night. Dancing, games, and stunts were enjoyed, and at the close of the evening, hamburgers and punch were served to the weary dancers Many of the students are enjoying the thrill of the toboggan slide these nights, judging from the aching bones the morning after Oh, the thrill of it all! ! ! FEBRUARY The basketball squad battled Antigo and we came out victorious! (Hip, hip, — hooray!!) The Freshies enjoyed themselves at their first class party Saturday night. The small fry danced, played games and generally had a wonderful time until 11 o ' clock. (My, my, what ' s this world coming to?) A district debate tournament was held in our school all day Saturday. About 26 schools participated. Several of our high school students acted as hosts to the various delegates We played Rapids here and beat them too! If you don ' t believe that revenge is sweet, just ask some of the Point players how they felt after the final quarter ' Victory dance held after the game in the Emerson gym. (Wow! these Rapids fans certainly can trip the light fantastic ) The Student Police held their first annual Policeman ' s Ball in the Emerson gym on Saturday night. Oh, there ' s something about a uniform!! (Sigh!!! — Sigh!!! — ) Attorney James Van Wagenen was the guest speaker at a defense assembly this morning Yippee!! another basketball game tonight.

Vincent was the guest speaker Free after the assembly (Woo! Woo!) We played at Wausau — and by golly, we won both preliminary games and the final one. (Rah, rah, rah!!) Bad snow storm to-day, so we had vacation this afternoon Oh — if it snows, who cares? (We don ' t) The flu epidemic seems to be making its way around town with many students out each day It ' s even striking the teachers. (Gosh, maybe they are human after all!) PAGE 13 MARCH By popular request, the W. P. A. band of Wausau entertained us at a musical assembly They played even better than last year! The Commercial club members presented a lively pep assembly preceding the Rhinelander game Sob!!! Sob!!! Our team was badly beaten by Kotz (and company) at this game. The score: 58-32 CNuff said!)

An interesting travel talk was given by Leonard Shanklin at an assembly during home room period Mr. Shanklin is an alumnus of C. S. T. C A bit of the Irish blarney was brought into a St. Patricks ' day program given this morning Various Irish students planned this assembly Ernest T. Smith, president of C. S. T.

Our boys left for Madison prepared for a bat- tle In their first game at the capital city, the team trimmed Antigo 39-25. (Not a bad start, eh?)

Aunt Jeminah, radio personality, entertained at a musical assembly The wirmers in the local forensic contests left for the tournament at Waupaca Now that the time is drawing near for the Prom, our future Fred Astaires and Ginger Rogers are beginning to flock to the corridor dances held after school Band assembly this Friday A touch of humor was provided upon the entrance of the famed Ferdinand the Bull into a China Shop. (What will they think of next???) APRIL April Fool ' s Day!! and no school. (No fooling, April 1 was on Saturday) Mrs. Hoffman of the State Employment Bureau gave a vocational guidance lecture to all of the senior students interested in obtaining a position after gradua- tion Ah! school is out for Easter vacation, but the weather is so chilly that the better sex are given no oppor- tunities to show off their Easter bonnets.

Our school ' s Junior Policemen did much in the way of making this meeting a big success The biggest social event of the school year is finally here. Yes, you ' ve guessed it The Junior Prom!! The theme of the promenade this year was The Gar- den of the Moon . (A lovely time was enjoyed by all, thank you!) Boxing matches are in full swing, with the team chalking up quite a few victories. (Of course there are a few shiners now, not gotten from bumping into doors.) Professor Mayer of Marquette university gave the Seniors an informative lecture on the subject What Kind of a Person Are You? The district forensic contest is being held in our high school this month The old home tovra is brimming over with musicians from various nearby schools participating in the District Music festival at the State Teachers col- lege.

Central State Teachers college, was host to a colorful vocal festival. Many of our high school ' s music loving stu- dents attended this affair The State Forensic contest is being held at our capital city, Madison, for the state ' s high school speech stars An instructive lecture on insurance was given by Mr. Hull of the Hardware Mutual Insurance company to the members of the graduating class who are interested in commercial work.

It seems that half the students are out at the lakes, and the other half are out of the city on some sort of pleasure trip. Only one little reporter is home, writing this doggone school calendar. JUNE Oh, what is so rare as a day in June? Ths bit of poetry fits in perfectly with the student ' s mood these warm, sunshiny days The seniors are nearing the last milestone of their high school career, and preparations are now being made for the closing school exercises The only cloud on the horizon is the fact that those dreaded final exams are being held in all classes. (Everyone is grinding away in an unnatural manner!) Baccalaureate exercises held tonight. (Oh! the end is drawing near!) Our ever popular yearbook, The Tattler , is being distributed to the students, with the result that everyone has become an autograph hound. (Makes one feel just like a celebrity) Commencement!!! As we seniors file slowly past our parents, teachers, and friends, an electric tension fills the air. Each one of us is conscious of a pang of sincere regret as we realize the fact that we will never come back to our alma mater as students, but rather as alumni. All of the enjoyable events of our school days — scholastic, social, and athletic — are recalled to us as v e solemnly take our places. Now the diplomas are being given out! Our certificates of achievements!!! A few speeches and presentations, religious benediction, and musical numbers herald the close of that period in our lives which we spent as high school students. Left to us are many happy memories and bright promises for the future. ' Bye now!

Scholarship — all Juniors must have an average of 90; all Seniors must have an average of 88. Leadership — National Honor students must lead, lead in high marks in their studies; they must lead their classmates in extra-curricular activities, and in arousing aggressive enthusiasm for their school. Character — to be a member of the National Honor society is one of the greatest honors a student can receive. Members of the club must live up to the high standards set for them. They must try to perfect themselves in order to become better students and, eventually, better citizens. Service — Honor students must serve by performing allotted tasks willingly and cheerfully and by awakening their classmates ' interest in the traits the National Honor society upholds. All members of the National Honor society wear a pin with a torch and the letters S.L.C.S. inscribed upon it — it is an honor pin to show that each member has all the requisites of a good citizen, that he possesses scholarship, leadership, character, and service.

The Junior Prom, a gay panorama of sparkling lights and bright colors, was held in the P. J. Jacobs High School gymnasium on Friday, April 14. Over 200 students were present at this annual party which is one of the outstanding social events of the year. Soft lights, giving the impression of moonlight, carried out the decoration theme of The Garden of the Moon . On the stage, colored lights shone upon grotesque mountain peaks, while twinkling stars, Saturn and a golden moon all combined to give the effect of a dream-world. The simplicity of the decorations made them all the more attractive and the soft lighting brought out the beauty and daintiness of the girls ' lovely gowns. Melvin Schuweiler, the Junior class president, led the grand march with his queen, Alice Worzalla, while Arch Adrian ' s band played on the stage. During intermission two numbers were given. Bill Steckel sang a solo and Jeanne Sorey gave a tap dance, while Bob Dietrich accompanied them at the piano. These numbers were well given and the audience received them enthusiastically. Melvin Schuweiler was the general chairman of the various committees organized to give the prom. On the deco- ration committee were: Jane Orthi lan, Virginia Lou Clark , Marion Glodoski, Willis Foster, Albert Olingy, Bemice Glisczinski, Phyllis Eckels, Francis Weller, Hazel Tibbetts, June Todd, Helen Firkus, Bill Fryer, and Roman Cooper; on the furniture committee: Bob Jenkins, Patricia Precourt, Shirlee Emmons, Exner Menzel, Jeanette Levi: lighting committee: Jim Kampschoer, Paul Pasternacki, Dick Holcombe: orchestra committee; Esther Moreau, Bette June Frost, Marguerite Crummey, Joe Whelihan, Ruth Michelsen, David Pfiffner; program committee: Pauline Noble, Thelma Peterson, David Warbleton, Tom Medlyn, Kurt Hofmeister; invitations committee: Bill Smith, Ethel Lawrence, Virignia Ann Clark, Tom Walsh.

It was held in the Emerson Gym on Saturday evening, January 28, and was at- tended by an unusually large number of Sophomores. The Sophomores had been planning this party for a long time and it went off, as predicted, with a bang . The class president, Don Walker, led the grand march with Lorraine Razner. The Sophomores immensely enjoyed this march — the big event of the evening — and all took part. Novelty broom dances, which added to the fun, were a special part of the evening ' s program. The High School orchestra outdid itself in its rendering of popular dance tunes, and many of the Sophomores, unable to resist, spent the entire evening on the dance floor. A very appreciative audience applauded the floor show which was given during intermission and was com- posed of several musical numbers and dances. Dorothy Davidson and Rosalie Klopatek played three piano duets in swing time, and Pat La Brot danced two tap dances. The hungry Sophomores were then treated to refreshments con- sisting of hamburgers and punch. The class advisors, Miss Carswell, to its success. Mr. Vaughn, and Miss Wolfe, were in charge of the party and contributed Three committees also took part in planning for this event: entertainment committee, Jeanette Lutz, chairman, James Kurtzweil, Bob Schnittger, and Lorraine Frymark; music committee, Pat La Brot, chairman, Dick Oik, Joe Hein, and Rosalie Klopatek; refreshment committee, Ruth Johnson, chairman, Archie Laszewski, Dona Lee Anderson, and Jim O ' Brien. fiobj-cH.

They had been eagerly looking forward to this event and all contributed to its marked success. During the first part of the evening, the Freshmen had a lot of fun by playing games. All took part in a game called Ruth and Jacob under the direction of Marilyn Davis. The Freshmen enjoyed themselves very much and eagerly took part in the fun. After the game, the Freshmen — boys and girls — enjoyed dancing to popular dance tunes played by the High School orchestra. The yearlings were very appreciative of this music and and all took part in the dancing. During the intermission, the dancers feasted on ice cream bars and were entertained by a floor show which con- sisted of a dance number, a song, and a tumbling act. Marjorie Stimm and Judy Graham tap danced, dressed as hay seeds. The dance v as called Long John and was enthusiastically applauded by the Freshmen. Sophie KoAvalski contributed to the entertainment by putting on a tumbling act, and Bernadine Hansmann sang. After the intermission, the class president, Joe Heitzinger, led the grand march with his partner, Marilyn Davis. All the Freshmen who could find partners participated in the march. After the march, the kids continued dancing for the remainder of the evening. Green ribbons, which were worn by all the Freshmen, contributed to the general hilarity. The Freshmen class advisors did much to add to the success of the party. They are Mr. Kuhl, Mrs. Week, and Miss Anderson. A number of committees also took part in planning this party, and class officers helped each committee. The committees were; entertainment committee, Marilyn Davis and Jay Normington; floor committee, Marjorie Stimm, Mary Kay Adrian, Judy Graham, Jeanne Hardy, and Doris Swenson; ribbon committee, Betty Steckel, Marjorie Stimm, Doris Clark, and Judy Graham; poster committee, Patricia Courtney, Jeanne Hardy, and Joyce Hennick; refreshment com- mittee, Robert Lee and Mr. Kuhl.

Ufafjp Every student who knows of the patient work and unselfish charity of Miss Ahce Leahy pays tribute to her memory. Her devotion to the school, her concern for each pupil ' s welfare, and her genuine interest in each one ' s pro- gress and activities will be long remembered. Her school was all important, and her life was dedicated to its service. It is to be regretted that she was forced to leave the duties which she took such interest. But, though the school has lost personal contact with her, the ideals of courtesy and sincerity for which she stood will be eternal in the lives of her pupils and her friends. c . u - PAGE 57 HfHiiMIIUMUilUlllMHI The greatest single addition to the public schools in Stevens Point has been the P. J. Jacobs High School. Its use, 1he first year, has demonstrated to the student body, teachers, and to the public that the unceasing efforts of the Board of Education to provide the best possible educational facilities merit commendation and gratitude. Because of moving into the new building and the resulting changes in the other schools, the Board of Education ■was faced with the problem of reorganizing the whole school system. Increased enrollment required additions to the faculty: new equipment was essential, a new time schedule and program were put into operation, and adjustments were required to correlate the work carried on in the different buildings. It was necessary to establish policies re- lating to the use of the building, to render decisions with regard to the type of organization, and the housing of the various departments. Realizing that a period of adjustment would be necessary, the Board of Education studied the various problems as they arose and effected in each case a solution that has made the work of the school more ef- ficient and pleasant. The members of the Class of 1939 express their appreciation to the Board of Education because of the privilege of spending their last year in high school in this most beautiful and modern building.

In a measure, the Class of ' 39 has set a stan- dard, and during the past year the mem- bers of this class have been an example for the under-classmen. We, who have the responsibility for the administration of the school, appreciate the fine attitude, the genuine cooperation, and the effective leadership that this class has displayed. The problems of adjustment and reor- ganization made necessary by a new en- vironment were in a large extent happily solved by the splendid working together of students and teachers. Our congratula- tions and best wishes to each member of the class of 1939. P. M. VINCENT, Supt. JOSEPH F. KRAUS V.. « o «BIB| nH H - H H PAUL M. VfNCENT Congratulations Seniors! Yours is the first class to officially gra- duate from the beautiful P. J. Jacobs High School. Your cooperation, together with that of the Board of Education, the Super- intendent, and the Faculty has establish- ed the entire student body as a fine work- ing unit. You may be especially proud of having contributed to the organization and participation in an active student council, student police plan, a strong home room, and organized club plan. Scholarship and attendance, too, I am sure are on a higher plane because of your splendid effort. All this is splendid but it is what you, yourselves, have ac- quired individually in the way of good habits and personality development which will make you the success you de- sire. I hope and trust that you may be socially useful citizens in any community to which you may go. JOSEPH F.

Jacobs High school, the council form of student government was initiated. This was the first attempt in many years at student participation in the management of school problems. For the most part, the council received friendly cooperation from both the pupils and faculty, and the plan is expected to continue next year. When the home rooms elected their officers at the be at the council. It was an earnest and enthusiastic group t as acting chairman and advisor. Donald Larson, a senior Weller, vice-president: Isla Wood, secretary; and James pointed: the executive committee, an advisory group in ch having jurisdiction over all school clubs and social affairs. The council met regularly t ' wice a month, but special mee mittee when some new question arose. Meetings were hel and opinions of the students were invited. ginning of the year, each chose a member to represent it hat met on October 11, 1938, with Mrs. Pfiffner of the faculty was elected president. The other officers were: Francis Kurtzweil, treasurer. Three standing committees were ap- arge of all council meetings; an entertainment committee, and an assembly board in charge of student assemblies, tings were called by the president or the executive com- d in an approved business-like manner and discussion by First Semester: TOP ROW: Bentle, F.

There were complaints of crowding and confusion on the stairways and in the halls, and difficulty in parking cars and bicycles. Temporary monitors were stationed to direct the students on the stairways, and later signs were placed de- signating Up and Down to remind students. Traffic was kept to the right in the halls. Cars were backed into place to avoid accidents in traffic jams ,and bicycles were placed in a rack near the building. Another standing committee, the Police Commission, was set up to supervise traffic problems. Through the efforts of this committee and Joe Brov an, city traffic officer, a Junior Police Force was organized to handle the parking and the crossings near school. The question of students passing through the halls during school hours without permission was settled by appoint- ment of monitors by the council. These were stationed to watch the entrances and stairways. The teachers were re- quested to sign passes, and to check the time the students took on their errands. Any not showing such a pass were investigated. At the beginning of the second semester a monitor commission was picked from the council to investigate infractions of the rules and to devise methods of correction and punishment. According to a poll of the faculty and student body, taken by the council, a majority of the teachers and the monitors themselves favored the system, while the rest of the students disagreed. The system was improved and continued for the rest of the year. The big homecoming football celebration in the fall was under direct supervision of the council. A pep assembly, a bon-fire, and a parade were among the plans. Each home room and social organization of the school v ras represent- ed by a float in the parade. Ribbons in the school colors were sold to finance the floats. Another student parade sponsored by the council was the marching of the students down town to pay Thanksgiving greetings to their good friend, the late Jules Iverson. President Don Larson of the council read a messag9 conveying the good wishes of all the schools in Stevens Point. When various restaurants and merchants reported heavy losses due to petty thievery after the games, the council brought the matter before the student body. It requested and received student cooperation with the businessmen of the city. Executive Committee ISLA WOOD EUGENE DOMACK ROBERT LEYER MARGARET ROSE DONALD LARSON MRS. PFIFFNER PAGE 61 V,- Mrs. Pfiffner and the council delegates, Don Larson and Margaret Rose, drove to Madison to attend a convention of the student councils in the state. There the many problems and accomplishments of student government were dis- cussed, experiences related, and suggestions given. The Council received helpful hints, and discovered that every council seems to face problems similar to those it has encountered. An assembly board, consisting of members from the council, v ras in general charge of all assemblies in the school. They supervised the student assemblies and secured outside speakers and other talent. The guestion of a Senior Ball, an unprecedented affair, v as raised and referred to a special committee appointed by the council president. This committee then reported before a meeting of the seniors and aided them in planning for this event. The council was directly connected with the student police. When the Junior Policemen ' s ball was held in order to secure funds for eguipment, the council backed it and helped to make it a social success. Through the council, the various forms of traffic problems were presented, solved, and student cooperation given. The Police commission, which acts as a student safety commission, assisted the police in taking charge of traffic problems and carrying out safety laws. The safety patrols of this school were visited by the Wisconsin Safety Commission in the spring, and their work very favorably commented upon. When the slate Safety Council met in Stevens Point on April 13, the Student Police Commission was asked to hold an open meeting before the group to show how it operated in handling school traffic problems. It complied by holding a typical commission meeting at which it discussed plans for continuing the work of the patrols and com- mission for another year. Its work received much commendation.

Because so many rural students stayed at noon to eat lunch, problems of extra janitor work and of lack of con- structive recreation were recognized by the council. Principal Kraus then put into effect a system of noon classes and study periods, allowing the rural boys and girls to leave school an hour earlier. This proved to be a great advantage for those who drove from a distance. Disorderliness, discourtesy, and destruction of property have al ' ways been school problems. Because of the fine new high school building this year, it seemed especially poor taste to mar the walls and furniture and to leave trash and aste paper lying about. The council made an especial effort to secure student cooperation in the proper upkeep of the new building. A plan for the election of council members was submitted to the student body. The plan suggested that the mem- bers elected during the second semester of this year would hold over the first semester of next year. The freshmen would choose delegates both semesters of their first year. This plan was accepted and in this way, part of the council will always be experienced, and there will be no halt at mid-year. This will also allow more students to participate in the council. Altogether, the council has been a success in its initial year. Most of the problems which it met were settled to the satisfaction of both the students and the faculty. The council has truly been a student affair and has endeavored in every i vay to secure the opinions of the student body and honestly represent it. It has tried to carry out their sug- gestions. The school looks forward to just as efficient and responsible a group in the council next year. Recognition must be made to the various members of the faculty who have helped to make this first year a suc- cess. Especially is Mis. Pfiffner to be congratulated on her excellent work as friend and advisor of the student council.

The upper classmen were proud to welcome them into such a fine building, and now, at ths close of their first year here, we can justly say that the Freshmen were a credit to tha school. Some, perhaps, were confused by 1he crowds and strange environment, but they caught on quickly. They assumed their share of responsibility in making proper use of the school. When they met, they chose as their president, Ed. Soik, and as their vice-president, Pat Weller. Marilyn Davis, secretary, and Robert Lee, treasurer, completed the list of officials. The class party was very successful and greatly enjoyed by the Freshmen. It helped to put the more timid at their ease and further established the position of those who had already made names for themselves in school affairs. The faculty advisors who helped so much to found this new class were: Fred Kuhl, Miss Sylvia Anderson, and Mrs. Josephine Week. Qi L LiO ' ' Juniors have been an especially active group and have played an im- O portant part in the school life of this year. The officers were led by Melvin Schuweiler, an all-around athlete. Roman Cooper, vice- president; Jane Orthman, secretary; and Virginia Lou Clark, treasurer, were his able assistants. While Sophomores, the Juniors voted Frank Steckel, as president; Zita Klein, vice-presi- dent; Bob Jenkins, secretary; and Patricia Precourt, treasurer. They celebrated with a big class party where games and popular dances were enjoyed. Frank Steckel was also chosen president in the Freshman year. Virginia Ann Clark, vice- president; Pat Bennett, secretary; and Ben Doughty, treasurer, also represented the class. The Junior class play, Beginners ' Luck, a com.plicated comedy with a large and talented cast, was a huge success. The actors were coached by Miss Abel. The Junior Prom was, as alwcn s, the outstanding social event of the year, and did justice to the class which sponsored it. JUNIOR OFFICERS: Jane Orthman, Melvin Schuweiler, This class realized that they will be Roman Cooper, Virginia Lou Clark. looked up to as the leaders of next year, and have begun to prepare for respon- sibility, as shown by the fine scholastic and extra-curricular records made this year. When th eir president accepts the traditional spade from Senior President, Lawrence Jonas, the class also makes the pledge to carry on. The faculty advisors who helped to make the many Junior activities a success were: Miss Maude Marsh, Miss Ethelwyn %, tJ j Baerwaldt, Miss Madeline Rice, and Fred A. Hebal. PAGE 64 So4 ho4no e6 SOPHOMORE OFFICERS: George Frost, Don Walker, Antoinette Martini, Don Somers A lively and enthusiastic group of Sophomores have materially contributed to the suc- cess of the school. Their participation in school affairs has been whole-hearted and shows great promise of future activity. This year the Sophomore officers were: Donald Walker, president; Donald Somers, vice- president; Antoinette Martini, secretary; and George Frost, treasurer. The Sophomores seem to have set the pace in fashions, especially in hats. Quite a bit of musical talent and comic impersonations have been discovered in this class and have add- ed to the enjoyment of student assemblies. The new boys ' pep club, the Bat Roost club , was originated by a number of Sophomore fellows who were itching for action. The class party was well-attended and much approval was expressed by the students. Games, dancing, and refreshments were enjoyed. Sophomores have taken part in many school activities, and have been represented in many scholastic and social organizations. Dramatics, sports, society — there just isn ' t anything that these versatile and active Sophomores haven ' t had a few fingers in. They are really be- ginning to assert themselves and to demand recognition as an up-and coming class. The advisors from the faculty were: Hassel S. Vaughn, Miss Lorna Carswell, and Miss Dorothea Wolfe. The Seniors chose as their officers for this year a decidedly athletic Sc tlO ' lA group. President Lawrence Jonas is a star basketball player, as is Williard Schlice, the vice-president. Both Howard Stimm, secretary, and Eugene Sturm, treasurer, were on the football squad. In their Junior year. Seniors elected James Sullivan, also a basketball player, and Janie Rogers, Pat Cashin, and Peggy Breitenstein, as officers. As Sophomores, the men-about-town, Robert Shorey and Ray Benke, were elected presi- dent and vice-president respectively. Peggy Breitenstein, secretary, and Donald Warner, the camera man , treasurer, complete the list. When very fresh Freshmen, Paul Swenson, Donald Larson, Tom Pfiffner, and Patricia Car- ver were the presiding officers. The side-splitting Senior Class play, The Nut Farm , scored as big a hit as did the Junior play of the year before, the hair-raising Tiger House . Both were under the capable direction of Miss Abel. This Senior class was unfortunate enough to miss having class parties during their Freshmen and Sophomore years. However, they made up for this by making the Junior Prom a brilliant social affair. Then, too, an en- tirely new social event was originated, the Senior Ball, an all-school dance sponsored by the Seniors. The faculty advisors were: Erwin J. Sten- zel. Miss Bertha Glennon, and Miss Hazel Cal- SENIOR OFFICERS: Howard Stimm, Eugsne Sturm, Willard Schlice, Lawrence Jonas .- - x ' n £ ' d | K - pj H wL r i m r y yi i t ' -- ;- v ' n- ' The high school office, under the capable direction of Miss Margaret Mason, principal ' s secretary, successfully carried out a very difficult schedule of work this year. Here the busi- ness of issuing admits and excuses, checking attendance, and filing report cards, program cards, and other records demanded the constant attention of Principal Kraus, Miss Mason, and the office assistants. Correspondence pertaining to the high school, the calling of assemblies, and announcements of school activities were handled in this department. The office maintained a spirit of friendly cooperation with teachers and students. The school owes much to the good work of the office force. In Superintendent P. M. Vincent ' s office, his secretary, Miss Irene Zamzow, directed the work. She was in charge of the book store and school supplies counter, as well as handling the correspondence and records for all the public grade schools of the city. The N. Y. A. work also came under the control of this department, and students interested reported to this office for assignment. Mail for the entire high school was received here and re-distributed. Miss Sa- die Riley, visiting teacher of Stevens Point, assisted in the office in addition to her other duties. The organization of the work was effective and contributed materially to the success of the school.

MAIN ENTRANCE 1111 V ' ,rl f OUR SCHOOL ' UR school has always been out- - standing for its many and varied extra-curricular activities. Annuals of other years have recognized this and have very adequately given recognition to this program of activities. This year, however, it has been the aim of the Tat- tler to give credit not only to the organi- zations but to the academic subjects also. For that reason, this section, the Acade- mics Section, has been added to the book. In this section, more than in any other, the theme of the book, group par- ticipation rather than individual achieve- ment , is illustrated. The cooperation of everyone, teachers, students, and other interested groups, was necessary to in- sure the success of the school ' s depart- ments and of the many extra-curricular organizations. PAGE 71 S HJolUJi. The course in English includes three phases oi work, each one of which might be considered a separate subject, namely: literature, composition, and grammar. These three subjects pre- pare students for life, for they teach them to speak and write effectively, and to read with various purposes. Three years of English is compulsory while the fourth year is elective. TOP ROW: Margaret Ryan, Ethelwyn Baerwaldt, Florence Kostecki, Anne De Base BOTTOM ROW: Marguerite Smith, Bertha Glen- non, Elizabeth Abel. From a high school English course a student learns things that will be of value lo him in his daily life. He learns more than the mere facts and principles of English — he develops attitudes, ideals and skills. The English course, throughout each year, includes work in literature, composition, and grammar. When a student has completed his course in these three things he can assure himself that his training in the English language has been a thorough one. Three years of high school English are compulsory while the fourth year is an elective course combining the practical and cultural. One objective of the English course is the appreciation of good literature. Instead of picking out some of the cheap novels, now so numerous on the market, a student learns to appreciate a worth-while book and really enjoy it. The reading of good literature also helps him to talk on a variety of subjects and prepares him for the necessary social contacts outside of school. By reading worthwhile stories and poems the pupil absorbs ideals of chivalry, honesty, de- pendability, unselfishness, and sincerity. Instruction and practice in the fundamentals of speech and writing enable the student to talk correctly, to write intelligently, to reason, and to search for and organize material that will be use- ful to him all through life. Many interesting variations were carried out in the English department this year, breaking the monotony of study- ing. In the Senior and Junior classes the Scholastic magazine, a national weekly, was read and enjoyed by all the students. The Woman ' s Club of Stevens Point, eager to find new material for patriotic radio plays, offered a prize contest which v as open to all students. As a result of this contest many fine radio plays were written. First prize was won by Shirlee Emmons, second by Marjorie Rockefeller, and third by Iris Precourt. In the Sophomore and Freshman classes the students were interested in writing to boys and girls in foreign lands. It was of value to find out how the youth of other countries lived. These and other projects, such as class programs, dramatizations, and class newspapers, made the subject alive and interesting. PAGE 72 TTT-3trr«I MiiAV ' f ' -. Precourt, Swenson, Miss Scheflner, Dehlinger The Mirror staff this year found itself in a difficult position. The work of the print shop was so heavy that only a few copies of the MIR- ROR were published. In addition to this there was, every Tuesday, a column in the Journal which more or less covered the school news. But in spite of these obstacles, through their di- ligent efforts, the staff succeeded in bringing the MIRROR to the students as often as possible. These hindrances did not succeed in taking away the one ambition of the staff — that was to pro- duce a newspaper that would please all. In publishing a paper of this sort the staff put time and effort into producing material that interested the student body. This is not an easy job, as those who have worked on the MIRROR can tell us, but the staff this year has accomplished the end for which they have been working. During the first semester the staff, with Paul Swenson as editor and Miss Scheffner as advisor, succeeded in having four issues publish- ed. The second semester found the staff con- fronted by the same obstacles, but by this time they had become more or less adept at coping with them. Pat Precourt acted as editor during the second semester. New members added to the staff were: Donald Walker, Belte Jensen, Ethel Lawrence and Virginia Schrank. The MIRROR is a true school paper. Not only is it prepared by high school students, un- der the able direction of Miss Scheffner, but also it is printed in the high school print shop by the advanced printing class under the direction and supervision of Mr. Speerstra. 1 MiAAJO The MIRROR has always been a favorite with the student body because ol its around-school news. This year has been no exception. Many of the write ups have been unusually good, showing that the staff has really worked hard to put out a paper to please everyone, in spile of many diiliculties. To the print shop toes a share ol the honors for the fine work they did on all the MIRRORS .

Many of the ideas incorporated in the Tattler this year have never before been used in a high school yearbook in Stevens Point. The aim of the Editor has constantly been to stress group participation rather than individual accomplishment. For this reason, an entirely new secti on has been added to the Tattler. Because it is intended as an accurate representa- tion of the curricula behind the various extra-curricular activities, as well as the activities themselves, the academics section has been added. In this section, as well as in the athletics section, the aim of stressing the need of group co- operation in order to secure success has been followed. Among the other outstanding changes added this year were the changes in the position of the calendar section, the incorporation of the features section in the advertising section, and the changes in the make-up of the administra- tion section. The division pages, which are actual photographs of the building ' s stained-glass windows, are another novel new feature. All these changes make for a more compact book and for a finer record of a rich, full year in P. J. Jacobs High school. Ten years from now will you remember the hub-bub of the first day of school — will the faces of your classmates be vividly imprinted on your mind — will you be able to keep alive all those activities in which you took part? By the time 1949 rolls around these memories will be quite dim. At some time or another you may want to live over these happy, care-free days, the happiest ones of your life. In reality you can ' t live the past over again, but there is one sure way that will enable you to recall these memories. All you ' ll have to do is to pull your old dust-covered 1939 TATTLER out of the bookcase, sit down in a nice easy chair and prepare yourself for a glimpse into the past. The first thing you notice as you open your TATTLER will be the school calendar. Every month of the year is depicted in it. Pictures of assemblies, school dances, and other school functions can be found in the calendar. Every- thing from the first football game to the last assembly has been included in the write-ups for each month. The school calendar will catch your eye 10 years from now just as it did the first day you received your TATTLER . Having finished with the school calendar you turn the page and there you find the class pictures. Pictures of your friends loom up in front of you and you recall pleasant memories that you associate with these countenances. You ' ll get a kick out of the way the students looked ten years ago and you ' ll wonder how you could have had thai secret crush on So-and-So when she or he looked like that.

The facul ty pictures are included in the academic section listed under their respective departments. The clubs in which you took such an active part are also included in this section and are to be found under the departments with which they are associated. The clubs to which you belonged will not soon slip from your mind because it was in these organizations that you became acquainted with students from all four classes — thus bringing about a closer connection between groups. As you slowly finger your way through the academic section you can ' t help but pause at the music section. The band and orchestra and choruses were something to be proud of , you ' ll think as memories of concerts and pa- rades pop into your mind. The music organizations also took an active part in the assemblies given through out the year, you ' ll recall. The athletic section will catch your eye whether you ' re athletic-minded or not. Sports seem to appeal to every- one, so you will spend quite some time revie ' wing the outcomes of the various games whether they be basketball, football, hockey or what-have-you. When you recall these games, those peppy pep assemblies can ' t help but be remem- bered. Those assemblies were really clever, you ' ll say to yourself as you recall them. The TATTLER is not the work of one individual — it is the work of a well-organized staff. Each member of the staff has his own special assignments and it is his duty to get these completed. Without the full co-operation of each staff member the TATTLER could not have been produced. Much time and effort was spent in bringing about the 1938-39 year book. Special acknowledgment must be given to the Worzalla Printing Company, to the Brock Engraving Company and to Howard Clark of the Stevens Point Journal. TOP PICTURES; Sports . . . . .

This year 20 students made up the squad and four of these people represented our school in the debate contests. Ths activity is one in which a student can prepare himself for his life ' s work. It aids him in speaking, it helps him to think quickly and accurately, and it makes for a clearer, more developed min d. A change took place this year in the make- up of the debate team. Instead of having three on the team this change called for only two on each team. A great deal of lime and research was ne- cessary to debate the question; Resolved, that the United States should enter into an alliance with Great Britain. Much credit goes to Mr. Moreau, the debate coach, and to all the par- ticipants who made this year a successful one in debate. As a school activity, debating this year proved of interest to a larger number of students than in previous years. The debate queston was a well-chosen one which appealed not only to the upper classes but to Freshmen and Sophomores as well. The question: Resolved, that the United States should enter into an alliance with Great Britain , was timely and of intense interest to all the public. Each of the four classes was represented on the debate squad. An important change introduced in debate this year was to have t ' wo students on a team instead of three, as has been the practice in the past. The change has been enthusiastically received by all schools concerned and the change is here to stay. A total of 20 students made up the debate squad this year — a number larger than it has had in previous years. Out of these 20 participants the four people who represented our school in inter-school contests were Karl Stange, Melvin Schuweiler, Don Walker, and Archie Laszewski. These four participated in debates with teams from Wisconsin Rapids, Mosinee, Waupaca ,and St. Joseph ' s Aca- demy. The season came to a close with our debaters entered in a tournament with some 26 other teams from high schools in Central Wisconsin. The squad loses only one member, Karl Stange, by graduation, so next year should be a promising one in debate. It is earnestly hoped that even more students will enter debate next year, for this is an activity which will pay each participating student real dividends. SQUAD Walker, Schuweiler, Dineen, K.

Karl Stange One of the greatest assets that a person can have is the ability to speak well. Not only does speaking help one to win honors in debate or forensics but it gives him courage and self- confidence when he steps into the business world. There are ways in which a person can learn to speak well, and one of these is to enter into forensics. The P. I. Jacobs High school was well-represented this year in the local forensic contests. Although our contestants failed to place in the leacjue con- test at Waupaca, all did creditably and gained much from par ticipation. For the first time, on April 21, the district forensic contest was held in our high school. The contests proved an inspiration lor all future speakers of our school. As in former years, many students participated in forensic work. Speaking in public is an accomplishment well •worth the time the student devotes to it. Many teachers give generously of their time in helping and coaching students in their respective efforts. Preliminary contests were held to determine the students who would represent our school in the inter-school con- tests. Karl Stange was chosen in extemporaneous speaking and Shirlee Emmons in extemporaneous reading. On the evening of March 28, the final elimination contest was held in oratory and declamatory. The following students par- ticipated in oratory: Don Walker, William Fryer, and Archie Laszewski, with Don Walker being awa.-ded first place. In serious declamatory: Esther Moreau, Iris Precourt, and Esther Ludwig, with Esther Moreau placing first. In humorous declamatory those taking part were Isla Wood, Mae Grossman, and Helen Firkus, with Isla Wood placing first. The five -winners represented Stevens Point in the league contest at Waupaca in competition with speakers from Waupaca, Marion, Nekoosa, Marshfield, and Wisconsin Rapids. It is earnestly hoped that next year and in years to come interest in forensic activity will continue to grow and (hat more and more students will take part.

FRENCH Evelyn Schultz Dorolhea Wolfe There is one beginning French class and one ad- vanced French class taught by Miss Schultz. In these classes the students get a reading knowledge of French and are also taught to speak the language. Although there is no French club, the members of the French classes are very active in work other than their class work. They have many programs in their classes, both entertaining and educational. In addition to this, they take a French macjazine which they read as outside work. Several of the students in the French classes correspond with students in France as a part of their class work, and in this way learn more about the country and the people. GERMAN German is one of the two foreign language s which are offered to the students of the P. J. Jacobs High school and is, like French, a popular subject. The German classes are taught by Miss Wolfe. There are two Freshman classes of German and one Sophomore class. In these classes the students are taught the basic parts of the language and also much about the life of the people of Germany. There is no German club, but the students of these classes have meetings once a month in which they dis- cuss the state of affairs in Germany, read a German newspaper, and sing German folk songs.

Recently the classes sent for some slides depicting life in Germany and these werrshown n he classes.

Students take French to get a reading knowledge of it and at the end of the second year have read many short stories by older and by modern authors, a long novel, and a play. They have also learned somelhmg of Frerich history, geography, and customs. Although the main object in studying French is to be able to read It, students learn to speak and understand it.

I. Jacobs High school, as is shown by the fact that more students take Latin than any other foreign language which is oiiered in the school. There are live Latin classes — two first year classes, two second year classes, and one advanced class. The Latin club is also a very popular club and has 40 members. Each year many new members are taken into the club. The club is under the direction of Miss Vera Schelfner, Latin teacher. Its aim is to slimu late interest in Latin and to teach the students who are taking Latin to put it to a more practical use in their everyday lives. The club, which meets twice a month, has many interesting business meetings and many social hours. Bofc S ' Latin is one of the most popular of all the foreign languages which are offered in the P. J. Jacobs High school. Latin, although it is considered a dead language, is still a very useful language about which to know, for over two-thirds of the words of our own English language come from Latin. A student is able to obtain a major in Latin, as it is a lour year course. There are two Freshman and two Soph- omore classes and one advanced Latin class. The Freshman Latin classes study many of the old fables and myths and learn the basic part of the language, while the Sophomore classes study the works of Caesar. The advanced La_ tin class studies the orations of Cicero one year, and through this study a better knowledge of our own political and economic set-up today is secured. The next year, Latin students study the works of Vergil, who has been called the poet of the ages and from whom all our literature today has radiated. In this way a student who takes four years of Latin becomes acquainted with the writings of three of Rome ' s greatest men; namely, Caesar, Cicero and Vergil and leaves high school with a broad vision and highly developed power of intellect. The Latin club with Miss Vera Scheffner, teacher of Latin, as its advisor, was again organized this year and many new members were taken in. The club is an active one, and takes part in almost all of the school activities. For its part in the new plan of having each club put on an assembly, the Latin club gave an interesting pep assembly under the direction of its advisor. , . , . , , , The requirements for membership in the Latin club are that a student must be taking Latin and must have an average of 85% in Latin. The aim of the club is to unite its members in the study of Roman ways and language and their influence on life today. The officers of the Latin club for the year 1938-39 were: Imperator Robert Allen Scribe Phyllis Eckels Jr Counsel Hazel Grace Tibbetts Sr. Counsel Iris Precourt Praetor Mariorie Mae Nelson TOP ROW: Menzel, Eckendorf, Nelson, Dehlinger, Ritchay, Smith, Oik, Fryer, Kurtzweil, Phaneuf, Allen, Salvin, Frost SECOND ROW: Wood, Worzalla, Mettner, Jensen, Grossman, Richards, Tibbetts, Emmons, Van Dyke, Precourt, Eckels, Lee BOTTOM ROW: Lange, Kluck, Cigel, Bartman, Zamzow, Moreau, Martini, Johnson, Slange, Firkus, Wallace, Conjurske, R.

Jacobs High school is one of the most interesting departments in the school. Most of the students wish to learn things about their country and how to be better citizens of their country and it is in this department that they learn these things. There are live subjects offered in this department: American History, World History, Citizenship, Economics, and Social Problems. All of these subjects teach the stu- dents something about the lows and customs of America and its past history, as well as the history of the world. The Stamp club, the only club in this department, is under the direction of Mr. Kraus, principal of the high school. The aim of the club is to collect stamps of the United Stales and other countries and to learn something about stamps. The club is a very active one and has some special project to work on each year. This year the club spent a great deal of time learning the story oi many of their stamps. Rev. W. B. Polaczyk, for whom the club is named, and who is an honorary advisor to the club, has done much to help the new members get their collections started. The Social Science department of the P. ]. Jacobs High school is one which is of interest to all students. In this department the students learn a great deal about the history of their country and learn how to become better citizens of the United States. World History and American History, Economics, Social Problems, and Citizenship are the five subjects offered in this course. One year of American history and one year of Citizenship are required, but although World History, Economics, and Social Problems are not required, they are very popular subjects, and classes in these subjects are al- ways full. In American history a student reviews the history which he has had before and also studies the problems of cur- rent history. World history teaches the student the history of Europe from the beginning of the world, the different rules, the types of government, and the wars which were fought. By studying this a student learns of the mistakes in early history and can benefit from these mistakes w hen he is called upon to hold some public office. Citizenship, which is required in the Freshman year, gives a student a summary of some of the laws and customs of our country and attempts to help him decide what his future occupation will be. In Economics a student learns many of the laws and theories of our country and how man has developed these from the earliest history. Social Problems is a study of many of the problems of society today. This study helps students to make important decisions later on in their lives. There are many students in the P. J. Jacobs High school who are interested in the collection of stamps and in learning all that they possibly can about them. The Polaczyk Stamp club is very popular with these students. This club, which is under the direction of Mr. Kraus, principal of the high school, meets twice a month and has many in- teresting business meetings. A student may become a member of this club by expressing an interest and making ap- plication to the secretary. Upon payment of dues of 15 cents per semester a membership card is issued to the appU- cant. This year the club, has been very active and has developed its own stock sheets and album paper. Rev. W. B. Polaczyk of Plover, a foremost authority on United States stamps, is honorary advisor to the club. The club also was named in honor of him. Father Polaczyk has given many members an opportunity to collect at a mini- mum outlay of expense. STAMP CLUB TOP ROW: Shafton, Brunner, Kostka, Pasternacki, Dehlinger, Zynda, Larson BOTTOM ROW: G.

Jacobs High school. There are three subjects oifered in this course — algebra, geometry and advanced mathe- matics. Algebra, which is taught by Miss Marsh, and Mr. Vaughn, is required in the Sophomore year in school and is very popular with the students. Geome.ry is required in the Junior year, unless the students who do not wish to take it receive a special permit from their parents. Most of the students take it and, although it is more difficult than algebra, it is a popular subject. There is one class of advanced mathematics for the students who are most interested in it and who plan to make mathematics their future work. The members of this class, which is taught by Mr. Moreau, learn the more advanced theories and Tules of geometry and algebra and also learn how to work many of the more difficult problems. The Surveyors ' club is a club for the students in the advanced mathematics class. This club helps the students to make practical use of their mathematics. The Surveyors ' club, which is under the direction of Mr. Vaughn, has been a ■very active one this year. The course in mathematics in the P. J. Jacobs High school is a very interesting one. Although there are only three subjects offered in this course, namely — algebra, geometry, and advanced mathematics, the classes in these subjects ore always full. Algebra, which is required in the Sophomore year and is taught by Miss Marsh and Mr. Vaughn, is the most popular of these subjects. The students who take it learn many of the basic rules of algebra and how to do some of the more simple problems. Geometry is required in the Junior year. This subject, taught by Miss Marsh and Mr. Moreau. is more difficult than algebra but is well-liked by the students. The members of these classes, like those in algebra, learn the basic rules and theories and how to do some of the simplest problems. Geometry is considered a valuable subject because it makes students reason things out for themselves. The advanced class in algebra and geometry is also taught by Mr. Moreau. The students who are especially in- terested in mathematics and who wish to study it more thoroughly find this course very interesting. They go farther into the theories and work on the more advanced problems in mathematics. Because of the demand for qn organization for the students in the advanced mathematics class, the Surveyors ' club was organized by Mr. Vaughn. The members of this club learn to put their knowledge of mathematics to a practi- cal use. This year the members have set grade levels in the basement of the school ' as a part of their work. As all of the members of last year ' s club were seniors, this year the members are all underclassmen. Carl Hoth, a member of Ihe club last year, has been helping Mr. Vaughn with this work. The officers of the club for 1938-39 were: President Merton Schneider Vice-President Jack Plank Secretary-Treasurer Leonard Kabachinski Surveyors ' Club PAGE 81 SdeHxx SCIENCE CLUB TOP ROW: Gonsiorowski, Bentle, Phaneuf, Kryshak, Weinholt, Malchow, Megal, Omernik, Somers, Stange, Nikolai, Brunner BOTTOM ROW: Becker, Domack, Allen, Diver, John- son, Woychowski, Paysa, Gladoske, Lange, Klopotek, Schneider, Larsen, Tibbetts TOP ROW: Fred Kuhl, Erwin Stenzel, Fred Hebal BOTTOM ROW: Dora Cunningham, Lorna Carswell, Elizabeth Elias There are many students in the P. I. Jacobs High school who are interested in some science and who iind the science department of the school one in vhich they can learn much. General science, chemistry, physics, and biology are subjects offered in this department. Biology is on elective subject in the Sophomore year. Physics or chemistry is re- quired but either may be elected in the Junior or Senior year. General science is required of all Freshmen. There are four clubs, the Photography club, the Science club, the Aeronautical club, and the Radio club in the science department. THE SCIENCE CLUB, under the direction of Mr. Stenzel, is one which is very interesting to the students who have scientific minds. The aim of the club is to create an interest in the scientific explanation and causes of things in everyday life. There are 35 members in the club, which meets twice a month, and all are very active members. This year the club has had many talks dealing with the major fields of science, such as electricity, television, Diesel engines, photo-engraving and chemistry. Demonstrations in these fields were also given and many movies were shown to help explain them. The club is a very active one and takes part in many of the school and outside activities. As part of their work this year the members of the club planted about five acres of pine seedlings near Plover, Wisconsin. Officers for the year 1938-39 were: President Duane Phaneuf Vice President Eugene Domack Secretary Robert Allen Treasurer Robert Klopatek © f ( ft PAGE 82 ■ MMMMMU W STANDING: Penar, Worzalla, Friday, Warbleton SITTING: Kampschoer, Paine, Wrzinski, Pasternacki, Brooks, Phillips RADIO CLUB As there are many students in the P. J. Jacobs High school who are interested in radio, a club to teach these students more about radio was organized. This club, un- der the supervision ol Mr. Hebal, aims to promote interest in the practical and theoretical side of radio. This year the Radio club, which meets twice a month, had many interesting business and social meetings. The members worked on theories and carried on many experiments connected with radio. They also repaired and built equip- ment with which to carry on their work and had many discussions on the important phases of technical forms concerning proper operation of radio. Movies were shown and field trips taken and both proved to be a valuable aid to the members of the club. The officers for the year 1938-39 were: President Leland Malchow Vice President Henry Penar Secretary and Treasurer Paul Pasternacki AERONAUTICAL CLUB The Aeronautical club had its beginning this year under the supervision of its advisor, Mr. Stenzel. The club was formed to promote a greater enthusiasm among the students towards aviation. The organization is really a very ed- ucational one, as aviation is one of the future industries. Throughout the year the boys held meetings for discussions, and plans for field trips were made. Although the club has not been very active this year, the members hope to make it a bigger and belter club next year.

Now it is possible for a student to do special work suited to his individual talent. The art courses are open to all students in- terested in Art regardless of previous training. The program is designed to develop in all pupils an appreciation for beauty, a knowledge of Art principles and the skills possible to the grade level of the student, and to develop creative thinkincj in terms of Art element. Through an activity program moti vated primarily by the need for Art in everyday life, each individual finds something of value and interest which makes Twork a pleasure and the Art period much too short. All work begins in the class room where the student is engaged in finding out the truth about the various problems he is interested in. During this acquain- tanceship period, he learns the Art principles v hich guide him to the comple- tion of a problem in the most satisfying manner. After working out the design in the class room, the student goes to the work shop where he gives expres- sion to his ideas in his own way. EMMA E. SMITH WORK SHOP The work shop is the most in- teresting place in the Art department. Not only art students work here, but also students interested in extra-cur- ricular activities. Here the decorations for school parties are made, such as the nine-foot policemen which were designed for the Junior Policemen ' s Ball, and the fantastic scenery made for the Junior Promenade. The posters and signs advertising school events as the Home-coming parade. Fair, band concerts, assemblies, and plays are produced in numberless quantities. With a work room open to all stu- dents, the art department has oppor- tunities to render service to the school along many lines where art is needed. For the art student the work shop is a place where he can give expres- sion to his ideas in a material form, as clay modeling, wood-carving, soap carving, block-printing and stenciling, or he may choose to make articles out of hammered copper, tooled leather, batik, spatter designing and book binding. This room fills a long felt need in our school since more and more school projects are taking on a real life situa- tion and adequate space large enough to do a real life job is necessary.

Our beautiful library is planned for the students as a place for reference work or for free reading. The room is equipped v ith attractive library furni- ture, and two leather chairs are situat- ed near the large windows for the students to read and relax in. A new system is being used this year in the supervision of the library. One teacher has charge of the library during each period, thus leaving the librarian free to do her work. She is assisted in this w ork by N. Y. A. workers and a few students who work for the experience. The library is open to students during their free periods and before and after school. For the first time this year it was also open during the noon hour to rural students. This year 495 books were purchased by the Board of Education for the library. The library also subscribes to, or receives as gifts, 88 well-known and worthwhile periodicals and five newspapers. The library is one of the most beautiful rooms in the new P. J. lacobs High school. It is located on the second floor of the building and on either side of it are the study halls. This makes it con- veniently situated ior the students who wish to use it during their free periods. A record is kept by the librarians and the study hall teachers of the students who use the library each period. Approxi- mately 98 students each period make use of the modern studying conditions which the library offers. The many large windows keep the library well-lighled and make it easy to work in. The room is equipped with modern library furniture, made for the students ' use. Two red leather arm chairs add a touch of color to the room and are eacerly made use of by the students vrho vrish to relax. Mrs. Elizabeth Moe, the head librarian, and her assistants are in the library each period to help the students in their reference work. For the bene- fit of those who wish to use the library for study, a faculty member super- vises it each period. In addition, the librarian is assisted by students seeking experience in the field of library work. PAGE 85 Mi4 4C m Wenzel Albrecht, Dorothy Vetter, H. L. Rehfeldt ORCHESTRA The large Orchesira room in the P. J. Jacobs High school is such an improvement over the previous quarters that it has been considered a privilege to play an instrument in the orchestra. As a result the number of students in the string orchestra has increased to 30. The high school orchestra is intended to give musically in- clined students an opportunity to play as a group and to give them training in unlimited patience, tolerance, resourcefulness, and excellent cooperation. Our orchestra, under the able direc- tion of Mr. Albrecht, is accomplishing these aims as a musical organization. The impressions, both visual and auditory, which the orchestra has made upon the public serve as an in- dication as to the splendid progress which is constantly being made. Each member of the orchestra realizes the oppor- tunity that is being offered to him as an individual musician. The result is that each person strives for the playing ability and conduct that is demanded by the high standards of the P. J. Jacobs High school. The first public appearance this year of the Concert orchesira was at the annual Christmas concert held at the Emerson High school. The orchestra ' s interpretations of their numbers, especially the Christmas carols, were enjoyed by the entire audience. For the concluding number, the orchestra accompanied the a capella choir in the singing of familiar carols. The orchestra made many appearances during the year both for public and for school assemblies. They were cordially welcomed by the student body and appeared by request a number of times. The program usually consisted of familar semi-classical numbers. But frequently Mr. Albrecht would introduce a catchy, novelty number into the program to the surprise and pleasure of the audience. Much time was spent in strenuous practice of their tournament pieces, as the orchestra was entered in two dif- ferent contests.

AtWonk THE Music Department is, perhaps, more of- ten before the pubhc than any other de- partment. Through its many and talented organizations, it is constantly proving its usefulness. In order to become outstanding among so many new and talented organizations, a group ' s ability must be exceptional. The A Cappella Choir, newly organized this year, has accom- plished this feat. Through much hard work, and by reason of the splendid results shown, it has become one of the favorite musical groups, in the eyes of the student body. The Choir was called upon to repeat per- formances before many Stevens Point groups. The high-point of its appearances was its par- ticipation in the Annual Spring concert of the Central State Teacher ' s College Men ' s Glee club. Appearing as guest artists, the choir created a very pleasing effect both by their singing and by their appearance. No small amount of credit must go to Alex Peterson of the faculty who acted as accom- panist to both the choir and to many soloists. H ighly skilled as an artist of the piano, his per- formances added much to programs during the year. A group of piano solos, played by Mr. Peterson at the Christmas Concert was enthu- siastically received by everyone. Yes, music is at work creating a better understanding of music and a greater respect for its many uses. The Solo and Ensemble club furnishes soloists and ensembles of true musical worth to many organizations. By this means, the aim of the club, whch is to instill a better knowledge of music and a deeper appreciation of it in its members, is being realized, not only among its members, but also among the many townspeople who have evidenced a genuine interest in music. The Flag-Swingers, a newly organized group, shows great promise of becoming an outstanding group in every v ay. Stevens Point is fortunate to be able to have a group of ex- ponents of the ancient Swi ss art of flag-swing- ing. First introduced in this country by Franz Hug, the Olympic flag-thrower, who spent a summer at the University of Wisconsin, it has rapidly become popular. Especially is it popular at P. J. lacobs high, where a large and enthu- siastic group practiced almost nightly. From this group was chosen the Swinging Squad, which represented the school and the band, both at the C. S. T. C. Spring Festival, and at the Dis- trict Band Tournament at Wausau. Another interesting and useful organization is the Twirling Squad. This group of girls has worked together for a year and has now be- come highly skilled. Performing at football and basketball games, in addition to leading the band at the College Festival and at the tourna- ment, they contributed much to the fine appear- ance presented by the band. :t_t?f. n-i B fc - PAGE 87 !! P u 04ce CobicH, The beautiful music room in tlie P. J. Jacobs high school has proved to be a strong impetus toward high achieve- ment in choral music. Scientifically constructed, the room is ideal for singing, and it is equipped v ith a large concert grand piano and a radio victrola. The A Cappella choir, a choral group organized this year, vvfith a membership of 40 boys and girls, has developed in a year ' s time into a fine group of singers, who have received much praise for their singing. The choir sang at the annual Christmas concert, and for the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs at Christmas time, as well as for a student assembly. They also sang carols in the halls at Christmas time. In March the A Cappella choir sang as guest performers at the an- nual formal spring concert of the Mens Glee club at the State Teachers college in the college auditorium. On April 11, the choir sponsored a concert given by the Lawrence College A Cappella choir. The fine singing of this group pleased a large audience, and was especially inspirational to the high school choir members. Early in May the choir reached the high point of the year in performance, in their own spring concert, which they gave jointly with the Girls Glee club. Both choir and Girls Glee club made a very pleasing appearance, the girls dressed in light summery formal dresses and the boys in dark suits. At this concert the choir impressed those who lis- tened with its beautiful tone quality and its accomplished performance of several difficult unaccompanied choruses. The choir was active in singing until the very end of the year since it appeared at the commencement activities. TOP ROW: 2ND ROW 3RD ROW GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB Zakzewski, Kuplic, Sether, Yach, Wiese, M.

The Girls Glee club, besides singing at the Christmas and Spring concert, also sang at the tournament. During the year they sang over the radio, as well as for several organizations outside of school. The executive officers of the Girls Glee club, who directed its social activities, were Madeline Perzinski, Marion Piatt, and Mary Louise Butter. Besides the singing by the choir and Glee club, there have been many appearances during the year of small singing groups, quartets, trios, and solos. These groups have sung over the radio, at the Women ' s club and at various P. T. A. and church programs. Miss Dorothy Vetter, school music supervisor, has directed all of these groups and is to be congratulated on the fine work done by these young singers. MUSIC APPRECIATION CLASS PAGE 89 Ba td Band is one of the important organizations of the school. Who doesn ' t love a parade led by a well uniformed school band with its high stepping drum majors and strutting color guards and drummers? Our band played and marched at the football games. When the floodlights were dimmed, flash lights used by band members plainly outlined the various formations made betv een halves at the games. The band has grown in personnel and quality of musicianship over last year, besides branching out in tv o other directions, flag-swinging and twirling. The home coming parade and the Rapids game were enlivened by the blaze of color and flash of spinning batons displayed by the twirling squad. Concerts and basketball games drew ohs and ahs of admiration for the flag swingers who have steadily improved in precision and grace. Three band concerts revealed versatility in showmanship, musicianship and variety to draw the largest concert cro wds in years. Note- worthy advance in stage decorum, cooperative spirit and solo-ensemble activity lA as noticeable in all three bands. The loss of many senior band members will be greatly noticed and regretted by all except the anxious junior band members who cast covetous eyes on empty senior band chairs. A change in letter requirements suggested by our director permits a student to receive a letter as an underclass- man and receive service bars for additional years beyond that recognition. A duplicate of last year ' s long list of dis- trict and state first places is expected this year and we can count on a fine accomplishment by the band for Stevens Point. Numerous assemblies are pepped up by the band which averages a public appearance per week. An all band assembly planned by the Solo Ensemble club president was deemed one of the finest all year. The Solo Ensemble club was inaugurated following a request by Mr. Rehfeldt for the band group interested in solo or chamber music to sponser and promote better individual and group work. Students must have played a solo or have been in an ensemble for a public audience before they are eligible for the club. Members perform before the club once a year, thus assisting in the furtherance of chamber music. Repeatedly, calls from civic organizations, service clubs and school organizations ask for musical entertainment on very short notice, and our Solo Ensemble club members have not only fulfilled the requests but have informed local clubs of what talent was available for further use. Under the able leadership of the president, Karl Stange, an excellent band assembly was given. Many local guest artists have appeared on the club programs and have given impetus and stimulus to our work. This being one of the first of its kind in the slate, we anxiously await its future development. Boi. H, PAGE 90 ■ . u c. ' Ti ' ' ,y ' Twirling has become popular with our band and this year a class of 12 girls in natty costumes pleased many with their work. Led by Florence Schneck they went through their paces very well. Not only did they appear at lootball games but at all basketball games in our gym. Competing against outstanding solos and ensembles from five states, P. J. Jacobs High School ' s entrants in the National Regional Music Contest at Minneapolis, May 17-20, drew high honors. A Drum Ensemble placed first; six second division winners, four third div ision winners and one fourth division winner were other rankings. This is a really remarkable record for their first year of national competition. Bob CH.

PAGE 91 uunatioi All the students of P. J. Jacobs High school who are interested in dramatics are given an opportunity to use their talent in a number ol ways. There are several orqanizatons in school that can meet these needs. The Radio Guild is an active organization which presents a program over station W. L. B. L. each Tuesday at 3:30. At this time short skits and talks are given by members of the Radio Guild or by their quests. The Dramatic club can also fill the needs of such students. Twice a year, at the begin- ning of school and at the end of the first semester, try outs are held for those students who ■wish to become members of the club. This year the Dramatic club was asked to present a Christmas play for the Catholic Women ' s club of Stevens Point. The one-act play, Christmas Trimmings , was chosen and it was presented on December 12 in the library club rooms. The Junior and Senior class plays present a splendid opportunity for those students who wish to display their tal- ents in this way. A lot of time and effort are put into these plays but they are something the actors can look back on in future years. This year both of the class plays were comedies which were much enjoyed by the large crowds attending the plays. The Dramatic club is one of the largest and most enthusiastic organizations in school. It holds meetings semi- monthly, at which time short skits or plays are given by a committee of students for the other members of the club. In this way each member has a chance to demonstrate his dramatic ability. An interesting project carried on this year was the reporting of a one-act play by one of the members in order to keep the club well informed as to popular one-act plays. Early in the fall a hike was held by the Dramatic club. At this time the old members initiated the new mem- bers into the club. A lunch was served in the Community House at Iverson Park and songs were sung. On St. Valen- tine ' s day a sleigh ride was enjoyed. After the ride the group went to the College Eat Shop for refreshments. The club was instrumental this year in the purchasing of new scenery, and the installing of new lighting effects and a switchboard for the Emerson stage. These new additions to the stage made a great deal of difference in the pre- sentation of the various plays. The stage crew, of which Bob Leyer and Toby Tyler are the heads, deserve much credit for the work they have carried on this year. It was these two boys who were largely responsible for the lighting and the mechanical side of each play presented. The other members of the stage crew also deserve credit for their fine work in connection with the plays. DRAMATIC CLUB TOP ROW: Weller, Ritchay, Wanta, Olson, Steckel, K.

PAGE 93 liealn ieA JUmxJi rr JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Beginner ' s Luck , a farce in three acts, was pre- sented by the Junior class on December 7, 1938, in the Emerson auditorium. The action of this always popu- lar farce is centered around four young girls who have come to New York City to seek their fortunes. Not achieving success the girls become alarmed over a letter sent to them by the society editor of their home town newspaper who is coming to the city to get a story about the supposed triumphant girls. To impress this home town gossiper, the girls procure the help of several friends who provide much of the humor. The four am- bitious young ladies ' dreams of success are realized as the play ends. Between acts, the large audience was entertained by the High School orchestra under the direction of Wenzel Albrecht. Miss Elizabeth Abel, the director, who was largely responsible for the success of the play, was presented a bouquet of flowers. The class play this year, as in other years, was given to raise funds which in turn were used to finance the annual Junior Prom. The Prom was given in the new P. J. Jacobs High school gym.

The scene of the class play is laid in California. The action is centered around the Barton family who have recently moved to the state of warmth and sunshine. Helen Bent, the daughter of Mrs. Barton, has been filled with the idea that she is another Sarah Bernhardt and is eager to have her husband, Robert, invest his savings in a picture in which she will star. Bob. who is eager to buy a nut farm with the money, is finally convinced that the picture should be made. Willie, Helen ' s brother, knowing that Mr. Holland, the movie magnate, is a crook tries to persuade Helen to give up the idea. However, the picture is made and it turns out to be ve ry unsuccessfuL Willie, who is a, director, then cuts the picture and makes it into a short farce and by doing so makes a great deal of money. Bob is now able to buy his nut farm and Willie and Agatha are married. A large audience attended the play which was held in the Emerson school auditorium on the evening of April 27. The proceeds of the Nut Farm were used to help finance the 1939 Tattler . CAST IN TOP MIDDLE PICTURE TOP ROW: Stange. Phaneuf. Davis, Stimm. Swenson. Domack BOTTOM ROW: Rogers.

Here many boys and girls learn to become future useful members of the v orld of business. There are five courses offered to the commercial stu- dents. Typewriting is one of the most popular subjects and is offered for two years. Many students take only one year of typewriting for their own future use. while others, who wish to make it their vocation, are able to take t ' wo years of it. The two year courses in bookeeping and shorthand also attract many students. Business training classes, which are offered for one year only, present the problems of the business world to the students.

This club aims to stimulate and promote interest in the commercial field, to become conversant with modern progressive business methods, and to afford recreational and social opportunities for the members. Any junior or senior who is or has been carrying two or more commercial subjects and has received an average of 85 is eli- gible to become a member of the club. This year the club had a membership of 53 students. All teachers in the com- mercial department are honorary members of the club. The Commercial club is one of the most active in the school and has taken part in all the events of the school year. This year the club decided that it should have some kind of an insignia to show membership and bought gold and black pins with Commercial Club inscribed on them. The club is also very active in its social life and has many interesting social functions. The officers for 1938-39 are: President Elizabeth Olsen Secretary Rita Flugaur Vice President Eileen McKelvie Treasurer Doloris Quinn The Commercial department, through the work of Mr. Bostad, year and did much to make thrift an important part of school life. directed the home rooms in student banking this PAGE 97 Marie Zimmerli, Alice Dorsha, Sylvia Anderson The Home Economics department in the P. J. Jacobs High school is a very important department. Especially important are the advanced foods classes, for they, as a part of their advanced Home Economics course, provide meals for the students and teachers who are unable to go home for their noon meals. There are two advanced Home Economics classes. These classes alternate in the preparation of cafeteria meals and thus learn how to prepare large quantities of food. In addition to preparing the cafeteria meals, the advanced foods class prepares many banquets which are held in the school. There is a very interesting story about how these banquets have come to be held in the High school. Some years ago, when Mr. Vincent was president of the Kiwanis club, he invited the club to a luncheon at the High school during National Education Week. The event was such a success that the banquet has been held an- nually. Other clubs, such as the -Lions club and the Rotary club, also hold annual meetings at the school and are served dinners by the advanced Home Economics classes. The Board of Education and the City Council and all of the City officers are also entertained once a year at the school. These banquets are very popular with the students who serve them, as well as with the club members. The advanced sewing class studies consumer education, home-making, nutrition, and advanced sewing problems. For their sewing problem the advanced classes make something more complicated than they did in their Freshman year. They have their choice of making suits, dresses, formals, a complete sports outfit, or of renovating something which they already have. The students in these classes are helped v rith renovation problems, outside of their regular class-work, after school and during their free periods. There are seven Freshman Home Economics classes with an enrollment of 170 students. The first semester of school the Freshmen are taught something about personal development, and care and repair of clothing, as well as the first lessons in sewing by Miss Dorsha and Miss Anderson. The second semester these classes are transferred to Miss Zim- merli or Miss Anderson, who teach the Freshmen the basic lessons of planning, preparing, and serving of meals. At the beginning of the Sophomore year these students are enrolled in the foods classes where they learn more about the planning of balanced meals and the art of cooking, and the second semester they are again transferred to the sewing classes where they learn the buying, selection, and construction of clothing. PAGE 98 !rfj e «-«- -i -i Ray Gerke, F. J. Steckel, W. A. Speerstra The Industrial Arts department is one of the most useful of all the depart- ments in the P. I. Jacobs High school. Woodwork, printing, sheet metal work and mechanical drawing are subjects offered in this department. WoodiATork is taught by Mr. Steckel and (here are six woodwork classes with 24 members in each class. The Freshmen learn how to solve the basic problems of voodwork and also learn how to make their ov n furniture. Each student is free to choose which problem he wishes to make as a part of his course. The Board of Education buys the materials for these classes and then the boys pay the school the cost of the materials whch they have used. The Freshmen make simple pieces of furniture such as book and magazine racks, pedestals, hall trees and severing cabinets, while the Sophomores and Juniors work on the more advanced problems, such as modernistic tables, book cases, buffets, chests of drawers, cedar chests and v riting desks. The Mechanical Drawing course aims to develop skill in the use of common drawing tools, to further intelligent choices of life occupations, and to provide a means of specific occupational training. The Freshmen classes try to fa- miliarize the students in reading and writing the language of industry, to develop a sense of proportion and a desire to plan work, to develop ability to solve problems indepen dently and to broaden vocational choice. The students v ork out problems from prepared lesson sheets in v hich a certain amount of information is given and requires some in- dependent thinking to arrive at the final solution. The Advanced Mechanical Drawing course is for the students who have shown proficiency in the first year of the course. This course tries to further the aims which have been established during the first year and to teach the stu- dents the more advanced problems in mechanical drawing. This subject is taught by Mr. Gerke. The Sheet Metal course is offered to Freshmen for nine weeks. In this course an attempt is made to give the stu- dents an idea as to the possibilities of sheet metal as a trade, an understanding of pattern drafting, and to develop skill in the use of machines and tools. In the Printing classes, which are taught by Mr. Speerstra, the Freshmen learn the position of the characters in the case, why they are so placed, proof marks, printers ' system of measure, technical terms and definitions of various operations and the names and uses of various tools and materials. In addition, they learn to set up simple paragraphs and to remove type from the stick. The Advanced Printing class is a class which is of great value to the school. This class, which is made up of students who have received favorable grades in their first year of printing, does all of the printing for the school. As a review project, each of the students is required to set simple jobs similar to the ones which they set in their Freshman year. This printing class prints all of the tickets, programs, and papers which are published by the school during the year. 1 1 i. • ;;. y. iKV.Vt PAGE 99 THE NAIIO ' ' ' ' ' CULTURG V. C. HENDRICKSON The Agriculture department is the newest department in the P. J. Jacobs High school. It was organized this year for students who wish to make farm- ing their occupation and who wish to know as much as possible about it. The students learn many things which will make their farms modern places of business. Among the more interesting and practical projects studied and carried out is the testing of milk and keeping records on the student ' s home dairy herd, the sampling and testing of soil, the pruning of the home orchard, and the judging of grains and farm livestock. All students taking agriculture are required to have some kind of a farm pro- ject so they really will be ' learning by doing ' as well as by study. The Future Farmers of America is a club for young boys studying agriculture and those who are interested in agriculture. It was organized for the first time this year in the P. J. Jacobs High school as a part of the new Agriculture department. The F. F. A. is a national organization of farm boys stu dying vocational agriculture in public high schools through- out the United States. It has over 82,000 members in 3,500 local chapters. There are 160 chapters in the state of Wis- consin alone. The organization is designed to teach the principles of group leadership, to strengthen confidence of the farm boy in himself and his work, to create more interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupations, to create and nurture a love of country life, to improve the rural home and its surrounding, and to promote thrift among agri- culture students. The club has a national emblem and national colors, gold and blue. The emblem is made up of five symbols: the plow, representing tillage of the soil; the ov rl, representing v isdom; the rising sun, representing progress; a cross section of an ear of com, representing the native crop; and an American eagle which signifies that it is a national project. It also carries the letters F. F. A. The F. F. A. can be compared to the national organization of Boy Scouts in that it has different ranks. First a boy becomes a Greenhand , then a Future Farmer , then a State Farmer , and finally a National Farmer . The chapter of the club in the P. J. Jacobs High school, which is under the supervision of Mr. Hendrickson, agri- culture teacher, has been very active in its first year. It meets once a week and has 24 charter members who are in- terested in their work and have received their membership cards from the state F. F. A. office. The club has receiv- ed its national charter as well as a large copy of the F. F. A. creed and of the F. F. A. purposes which are now framed and hung in the Ag. room. One of the most interesting projects of the club has been the trips which were taken. These included a trip to Ma- dison, (■where, out of 1,200 contestants in the state judging contest, five awards were ■won by boys from Stevens Point), a field day at Marshfield, and dairymen ' s meetings at Amherst, Sheboygan, and Kohler. Another interesting project, but one that is not directly concerned with agriculture, has been the basketball team which was organized by members of the club. It played games with Auburndale and Stratford. This spri ng the club put on a seed treating drive. The boys traveled to different homes and treated the ■which has to be planted, extra money to be used community.

At the same time they performed a valuable service to the farmers in the PAGE 100 JieauU Long outst anding, this year Stevens Point High again lead s the way in measures for Health. The hygiene situation is taken care of very ably in the P. J. Jacobs High school. The head matron, Mrs. Clara Malik, and her two assistants, assigned to the school by the W. P. A., do much to maintain cleanliness and sanitation among the students. This is the first year that the school has had a matron, and school authorities are grateful to the W. P. A. for providing this fine personal service. The matron and her two assistants have many duties and render many services to the students and teachers. Several of their tasks are locker and shower room super vsion, first aid services for minor injuries, and care of the lavatories. The matron also has authority to excuse girls from school if they are taken ill during the school day. The first semester of this year she excused 85 girls and administered to 98 others. In general supervision of the health activities of all the city ' s schools are Dr. Ferdinand Krembs, city health of- ficer, and Miss Margaret Butler, city school nurse, who are always ready and eager to do all in their power to keep students in good health. Through the efforts of all these people, the general health situaiion in the P. J. Jacobs High school has been excellent. As further help in the health services oi the school, Miss Dumbleton, girls ' physical education instructor, and Mr. Ringdahl, athletic coach, give first aid when it is necessary. In conjunction with the health program, during the first months of the school year. Miss Amy Zillmer, a member of the state board of health, gave a series of interesting talks to the girls on personal hygiene. Miss Zillmer stressed personal cleanliness as being a valuable asset to all girls. The boys too had an interesting speaker in Dwight Warner, also from the state board of health, who spoke to them on personal hygiene. These lectures were greeted enthusiastically by both the girls and the boys, and many of the students who heard the talks expressed the desire to contact similar speakers in the future. For many years the Stevens Point High school has been outstanding for its compulsory T. B. shots. This year, in the new P. J. Jacobs building, has been no ex- ception. Tests were taken by the entire student body, un- der the auspices of the ' Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis as- sociation and with the help of the local health authorities. These tests revealed that of more than 1100 tested, 2 were recommended for confinement as active cases. The picture to the right shows the portable x-ray unit in action as the tests are made. These x-ray pictures are taken when the results of the shots indicate possible in- fection. ' We are indebted to the Publications Department of the W. A. T. A. for the use of their cut.

Merrill dominated most of the play and only in a very few instances did the Point team penetrate their territory to the extent of being considered a dangerous threat. Playing their first conference game at a decided disadvantage due to the absence of their coach, Harry Ringdahl, who was ill, the Pointers were forced to yield to a strong Marshfield aggregation. Despite the 13-0 defeat, the Point team showed a marked improvement over its previous game at Merrill. The following week the Wausau Lumberjacks invaded Goerke Park to battle a rejuve- nated Point aggregation. Throughout most of the game it appeared as though the Pointers might be the victors, but again those old breaks showed up and Wausau scored two touch- downs in the closing minutes to go on to win 20-0. Still seeking their first victory of the season, the Pointers played host to Nekoosa at Goerke Park. The closing gun of a very nip and tuck battle found the Pointers behind — 7-6.

The Point team displayed an unusual brand of fight and determina- tion in the first half, but in the second half Rhinelander ' s superior weight and stamina began to show. Soon the Pointers were forced to succumb to the attack of the team that went on to win the Wisconsin Valley Championship. The battle ended in a 34-0 score for Rhinelander. The following week the Pointers again invaded enemy territory toward the north when they tackled the Ants of Antigo. The game, which turned out to be a rather muddy affair, left the Point gridders on the tail end of a (one sided) 42-0 score. The Wisconsin Rapids grid team invaded Goerke Park for their annual game with the Red and Black. The Pointers drew first blood early in the first quarter as they scored after a Rapids punt was blocked on the Red Raiders ' 20 yard line. The game sea-sawed up and down the field until the third quarter when the Rapids carried the ball to the Pointers ' two yard line, where it was taken over by the Point gridders. On the next play the Rapids blocked a Point punt and fell on it behind the goal line to tie the score 6-6. The game continued on an even basis through the fourth quarter with neither team being able to score again.

The members of the Freshman football squad, through the able guidance of their coach, Tiny Bannach, showed great promise of stalwart varsity teams for several years to come. Although lacking in weight and size, the team overcame this handicap by their remark- able fighting spirit. An overwhelming willingness to win, and to learn while winning or los- ing, made it a fine team even if one discounts their record of a majority of wins. The ploy of a few of these worthy underclassmen, bodes well for the future of Coach Ring- dahl ' s A Squad teams. Stanchik, Lake, and, in fact, all of the players showed evidence of fine sportsmanship and of becoming stellar players in the near future. Their record of five victories and but one defeat, during a season in which they steadily progressed in ability and in the number of games won, deserves the acknowledgement of the upperclassmen. Congratulations, Freshmen, and more power to you as the future varsity of P. J. Jacobs High. TOP ROVi?: Olski, chik.

RINGDAHL Basketball, a game of strong-hearted and able-bodied athletes — a winning team and a successful season — a team worthy of the admiration it received — a team to be proud of — a successful team, still a team that faced defeat as well as victory — a team that avenged defeats — a team acknowledged by its competitors — a team that gave its school and its students honor — the basketball season of 1938-39 at P J. Jacobs High school. Now came the chance for the Pointers to avenge a previous defeat by the Ants . The Ringdahlmen outplayed and outclassed the Antigo quintet at every phase of the game. Thus they earned sweet revenge. The McKinleymen avenged an earlier defeat as the Pointers journeyed to Marsh- field. During the second half, the Marshfield quintet seemed to turn on their reserve power as they outscored the local cagers 13 to 10 and increased their lead to four points as it remained at the close of the game. The Red Raiders of Wisconsin Rapids came to town to renew their annual rivalry with the Pointers. The Ringdahlmen took an early lead which was never overshadowed by the Red Raiders, even though they came within one point of this goal several times. The Nekoosa quintet tried hard to get revenge for an earlier defeat given them by the Pointers, but the Ringdahl- men were just too much for them. Both teams handled the ball smoothly and their floor play was exceptionally fine, but before the close of the game the Ringdahlmen took charge of a three point lead and held it, giving them a victory. A Point team sparkled with the desire for revenge trekked to Wausau for their next game. The Ringdahlmen forged into the lead time and again only to be overtaken by the Lumberjacks . In the closing minutes the Pointers forged into the lead and held on as the Wausau quintet peppered long shots at their basket. The Red and Black played host to the mighty Hodags of Rhinelander. The Pointers still had hope of putting the famed basketeers of the north down in defeat, but the Rinos had different ideas about this. In the game with the Pointers, Johnny Kotz surpassed his last year ' s scoring mark as he scored 35 points. The Pointers again soundly trounced the Eau Claire quintet in a game played at Eau Claire. The Pointers had gained a 21 to 7 lead at the half time. Substitutions were frequent and at no time was the Red and Black lead in any immediate danger. For their first game in the state tourney the Pointers met the runners-up in the Wisconsin Valley conference. The local preps really turned on the heat in this game as they fought their way into the semi-final playoffs. In the semi-finals the Ringdahlmen met last year ' s champs, the Lumberjacks from Wausau. The Wausau attack functioned smoothly and the Lumberjacks overpowered the Point preps easily. This game marked the close of the Stevens Point basketball season. For some, it marked the end of basketball. With seasoned material the Point basket- ball team of 1939-40 should be well up in the conference standings.

Although their record in the win and loss column was somewhat under 500 per cent mark, their season was successful. The team progressed rapidly and closed their season gloriously by winning two out of their last three games and losing the other by only one point. The value of the B team to the A squad must not be overlooked. Its players are ready at every call to step into any position on the A squad. They play with a secret ambition in their minds that they may some day gain acknowledgement and a position on the A squad. The B squad affords the A squad a chance to scrimmage against competition much like that which they will receive in a game. This also gives the coach an opportunity to keep his eye on the players of both teams and to make changes as he sees fit. The 1938-39 B squad performed all of these various services to their school well and in addition they won three out of the seven games they played. They split a two game series with the Red Raiders of Rapids B team, losing the first 23 to 15 and winning the second 18 to 17. They also split two games with the Wausau B squad. The Lumb erjacks won the first 29-17 and the locals were victorious in the second 31 to 28. The Marshfield B team took two games from the locals 21 to 10, and 25 to 17. The Antigo B team bowed to the Red and Black 32 to 29. Many of the boys of this year ' s B team will undoubtedly see action on next year ' s A squad. TOP ROW: Helminski, Hansmann.

From these 20 boys a team was picked to represent Stevens Point High school ' s Freshman class in inter-school competition. These players compiled a record that any team would be glad and proud lo possess, as they won three out of their six games. The boys on the team showed a fine spirit and a very fine sportsmanlike attitude throughout the entire season. This combined with their ability to work with one another undoubtedly was the dominating factor in many of the games they won. Many prospective players were developed on this team and in the three years ahead of them at some time or another they probably will represent our school as A squad players. The team and their coach are to be congratulated on their splendid showing.

The team, however, was handicapped greatly by the fact that last year ' s whole first line had graduated last June. H was found out later in the season how valuable had been Loomis, Lutz, Wroblewski, Dunn, Schulfer and Kickland of the 1938 team. Due to too many handicaps and a lack of practice Point lost its first game to Nekoosa by a score of 3 to 2 with Point leading up to the last period of play. The Point next bowed to Rapids and Wausau in turn but finally came out of its slump to defeat Nekoosa and Marshfield. It seemed however that these wins helped little because Point then lost in succession to Rapids, Marshfield and Wausau. The boys, however, had a lot of fun, and good clean games were played by the Pointers both in and out of town. The B squad system was put into practice this year again to provide future stars who will sorely be needed, for most of Point ' s starters of this year ' s squad are graduating. The following played their last hockey for dear old S. P. H. : Doughty, Walkush, Konapacky, Sturm, Eickman, Slagowski, Neitzel, Moss, and Stimm. These included two first line members, three of the defense men, a goalie and several of the second line. The season however uncovered such future stars as Houck, Kabot, Medlyn and Olingey.

The team enjoyed fair success and the old quotation fight for dear old Point was literally taken to heart. Boxing has this year reached its height in the Wisconsin Valley and we hope that we may see many more sucii years. Powerful teams were in the field from towns such as Marshfield. Wausau, Portage, and Marion. The underclassmen were well represented this year in the lighter divisions and caused many a headache for their antagonists. Among these we have Jimmy Formella, Ernie Ksionsk, James Schoettel, Glenn Soik, Doug Simonis, Ber- nard Suplicki, Eugene Slaske, Leonard Matkey, and Erwin Houck, all first class battlers. Many of this year ' s team saw their last action for dear old S. P. H. . Among these are such prominent stars as Eugene Sturm, Howard Stimm, Leroy Plaskey, Joe Sobczak, and Wayne Hager. This year was boxing ' s fourth for Stevens Point and the school has enjoyed fair success in its bouts, a fact duo mostly to the able coaching of Mr. Krembs. The sport was quite in favor with the students who showed school spirit by their good turn-out at the matches. Though only a minor sport, boxing in Stevens Point has grown in the last three years so that it is beginning to rank in popularity with football and basketball. It is one of the sports in which the individual can show his ability to good advantage and to this quality we at- tribute a good share of its success.

BOSTAD America ' s national pastime was again played at Stevens Point this year with success. Under the able coach- ing of Mr. Bostad a squad of rookies and veterans was built up into a big league outfit. The student body was well in favor of the sport as was shown by the number who went out for baseball and the attendance at games. The Pointers excelled in every department of the game and gave a good showing of future promise in big league ball. The pitching was excellent and the hitting and fielding very good. The team ' s sportsmanship is well known throughout the valley. The team enjoyed success all season and then played in the tournament which was held here in Stevens Point in May winning consolation honors. Baseball is one of Coach Bostad ' s prides. In fact he ' d rather coach baseball than eat. His interest and his abil- ity as a coach always make for good teams. We hope that the seniors of this year ' s team will remember and cherish the memories of ths grand old game and that the underclassmen will try to make as good a showing as the 1939 team did.

Jacobs High school. r  wr i Dr ' ««D(!- The success of the intramural program has been attained mainly through the efforts of one man. Mr. Krembs has worked diligently at the task of giving our boys something worthwhile to do in their spare time. Through his efforts the boys who are interested in athletics but who aren ' t on A or B squads are given a chance to engage in a competitive sport after school hours. Two classifications were made as to the competition the boys were to have. For fellows under 130 pounds a lightweight league was formed. For boys over this weight a heavyweight league was formed. The teams began their schedule about the middle of January and continued their play until each team had played 10 games. Large goups of spectators again this year witnessed these games. 1.

The rest of the league teams ended up close in both rounds with many thrilling games coming before the eyes of those who saw them. Because the Eagles, captained by Emert Lange, were the only team to go through both rounds undefeated, there was no need for a championship play off. In the heavyweight league of the Intramural basketball tourney the race was very close. In the first round the S. P. A. ' s, captained by Lenerd Glodowski. had a relatively easy time as they won all five of their games. In the second round, however, the going was a little tougher and the Mystifiers and the S. P. A. ' s ended in a tie, both hav- ing won four and lost one game. This made it necessary for a championship playoff. For this game the gym of the P. J. Jacobs High school was used. In the championship the S. P. A. ' s took a thriller from the Mystifiers 18-15.

It develops keen interest in sports and furthers the ideals of comradeship and friendliness. H. I. Ringdahl, Evelyn Dumbleton, Dave Krembs The physical education program aims to develop the body along with the mind, to provide the students with recreation, to develop poise and good posture. Pupils are taught that sports- manship pays and each should strive to become a good sport . The Sophomore girls, under the direction of Miss Dumbleton, took gym the first semester. They were given exercises to help them acquire beauty, health, and grace. Along with folk dances taught them, the girls learned to play field hockey. Later on they played volleyball and basketball and held a regular basketball tournament amongst themselves. The wonderful work of the co-eds was personified by the twelfth annual gym exhibit, the first to be held in the new P. J. Jacobs High school. The girls executed dfficult exercises and drills, which demon- strated the work they had done during the semester. The next term the Freshman girls started their gym course. They learned marching, a little archery, basketball, baseball, and tennis. They were given a special course in health which enabled them to keep physically as well as mentally fit. The girls were placed in different groups with girls they didn ' t know, in order to make new acquain- tances and to learn how to get along with strangers. The boys, under the able direction of Mr. Ringdahl and Mr. Krembs, have put in a very active and enjoyable year. The wonderful work of the boys was demonstrated by their work during the twelfth annual gym exhibit. They executed a difficult series of drill exercises, various relay races, and a basketball drill. They also performed difficult stunts on the horse . They played basketball, baseball, and did a little boxing. The students, both boys and girls, got a chance to participate in every sport and to acquire skill in those they liked best. The gym work served as an outlet for surplus energy, developed willing cooperation and honesty among the students. Mr. Ringdahl ' s and Mr. Krembs ' and Miss Dumbleton ' s keen interest in sports and skill in all sports in- spired the students to excell. The girls ' sports program successfully strives to stimulate an interest in sports. It is planned to present to all girls a well-rounded program of sports with a view toward good sportsmanship and fun as well as physical developments. All forms of sports are offered, changing with the various seasons. In the fall, archery and field ball are offered. Later on, basketball is the main sport. A regular basketball tournament is held in which all girls who wish to can form a team and enter into it. Later on another tournament is played — the tennis tournament. This is also an elimination tournament. Any girl who wishes to may enter and try her hand at it. It is a chance for beginners to learn as well as for winners to excell. The sport ' s program is planned so that every girl will feel free to participate in any sport she may so vish.

Jacobs High school, on January 25 and 26. On January 25, a matinee was held for the High school and grade school students, and, on the evening of January 26, a performance was held for the parents and friends of the students. The program opened with a snappy march by 120 girls of the high school. The march was followed by relay races, including a basketball relay given by the boys of Emerson school. Faith Ainsworth and Mildred Hintz, dressed in clown suits, presented a clown dance which was a clever piece of pantomime. Mass excercises by Emerson boys were well done, and tumbling by the Girls Tumbling club was interesting. The girls were dressed in white cos- tumes with short full skirts lined in blue. Me and My Shadow by Patricia LaBrot and Joanne Jakusz was a very rhythmic dance. A tricky red and white costume and an all black costume for the shadow was worn by the girls. They were followed by the cheerleaders ' drill, and then a number called Time Dances On in which groups of girls danced the polka, the schottische, waltz, and the Lambeth Walk. The girls were dressed in costumes dating from the time of the polka to that of the present day. Boys of the Emerson school were well received and did well with their work on the horse. A group of girls of the seventh and eighth grades at the Emerson school did unusual tumbling. The program was concluded by a march of all the girls of the high school gym classes, dressed in appropriate costumes and carrying equipment for every sport imaginable. The girls formed S. P. H., and sang the school song. In charge of the exhibit were Mr. Ringdahl and Mr. Krembs, directors of the boys work, Miss Dumbleton, director of the girls work, and Otto Viertel, director of the seventh and eighth grade tumbling. Musical accompaniments were played by the High school band, directed by Mr. Rehfeldt, and on the piano by Beth Johnson, Jeanette Lutz, and Roslie Klopatek.  ' .i l.aUMt i iv a PAGE 121 Qidi ' RED AND BLACK CLUB With Miss Baerwaldt as its able advisor, the Red and Black club added another eventful year to its history.

Besides sho ving pep at assemblies and games, the girls attended all dances, school parties, and plays, doing their best to make each one a success, and helping all that they could.

The purpose of the Red and Black club is to build up school spirit among the students, to support all school activities, to instill a spirit of cooperation, and to give the members an opportunity for self-expression. Some of the activities in which the club participated were football games, basketball games, and the homecoming parade, as well as pep demonstrations for assemblies and between halves at basketball games. At Christmas time the members showed the true spirit of the Yuletide by presenting baskets to needy families in Stevens Point. A number of successful candy sales were held this year to raise money for use by the club in its varied activities throughout the year. With all this behind them, club members feel that they have passed another happy milestone on the road of high school life. President . Elaine Karner Vice-President .

In the early part of the season, new officers were elected, and 12 new members were received into the organiza- tion. This year the girls presented a beautiful flag to the school at an assembly befitting the occasion. A talk on the his- tory of the flag and its meaning to the American people was given, and an appropriate poem was read. On February 18 .the girls held their annual semi-formal dance, which was a great success. Coca-Cola was served as an added attraction, adding to the enjoyment of the dance. The girls have participated in every school function, basketball and football games, dances, homecoming parade, and pep assemblies. At Christmas time the girls gave baskets of fruit, toys ,and clothing to the needy families. All in all the girls have completed a very eventful year.

These boys were present at every school function, endeavoring to help in every way possible. The boys attended all the games that they could, cheering the team onward. They put on excellent assemblies and have done much to make this school year an enjoyable one for all. D. O. P. E. CLUB The D, O. P. E, club is a pep organization whose menibers attend all school athletic events and social events and strive to promote pep on all occasions. Instead of electing officers, one boy is appointed chairman for each event, and he in turn appoints a committee to work with him. In the fall of the year the boys had a great deal to do with the success of the homecoming parade. They were in charge of the bonfire and they also had a float representing the club. During December the club sponsored an all school dance under the direction of the adviser, Mr. Somers. After the Christmas vacation, the D. O. P. E. club was asked to plan and give a pep assembly. The assembly was a huge success. About this time the members of the club were seen sporting white jackets with the club insignia on the pocket. The boys wear the jackets to all the games and other events. Here ' s wishing the D. O. P. E. club as much success in the future years. TOP ROW: Hanson, Fred Weller, Schoettel, Whelihan, B.

Filled with a desire to instill pep, they showed the team that they were behind them by starting out the year with an excellent pep assembly. From the 30 members the following officers were elected: The lively assembly that the club gave before one of the basketball games was filled with snappy sayings and clever acting. They were afterwards called upon to present the act to many outside organizations, receiving always deserved acclaim. The Bat Roost club sponsored a movie benefit from March 13 to 19. Out of the proceeds the boys bought sweaters. At a later date they will pay back the money and buy something useful for the whole school. We all feel sure that the Bat Roost club will carry on their good work and become a bigger and better organiza- tion each year.

A. and participate in any one or all of the sports offered. Designed to present a variety in sports, the program of this year ' s activities included social events to promote good fellowship as well as participa- tion in athletics. The sports calendar, which changes with the seasons, presents as its major interests, fieldball. vol- leyball, basketball, archery, baseball, and tennis. Any girl can become a member if she pays 25c for dues and earns 25 points. The girls get points for participating in various sports, such as tennis, hiking, and horseback riding. They get points for each hour spent engaged in some sport or a point for each mile walked. When a girl earns 5 00 points she gets a letter in red and black. For 700 and 900 points she is av arded a chevron in black. She also gets points for playing basketball, baseball, tennis, archery, tumbling, fieldball, and volleyball. At the head of each of these sports is placed a girl leader who is called a sports head. These girls show all the others who are interested in their sport the rules of the game and how to play it. It teaches both the sports heads and the others sportsmanship and fair play. The G. A. A. gives every girl a chance to participate in some sport and excell in it. In the fall the Sophomores and Juniors play fieldball. Later on, volleyball is played by all who wish to play. In March the basketball tournament is started and all who wish to enter, organize a team of eight members, and choose a captain. Each team has to have a name and color, and the color is then carried out in the basketball suits. The teams may have a coach but it isn ' t compulsory. Preliminary games are run off to give the girls a chance to practice and then the regular tournament is held. The teams that win their first games play for first and second place while the losers play for consolation games. The winners of the first place are awarded gold medals, the winners of second place receive silver medals and third place winners, bronze medals. The girls have an archery club with Lorraine Hardy as Sports head. Archery develops poise, steadiness, judg- ment, and skill. It is a thrilling sport and enjoyed by all who partake in it. In the spring the girls select baseball teams and choose captains. The teams are then named and a color is chosen. A baseball tournament is then played and the winners are awarded baseball medals.

The girls con find on outlet for excess energy and develop good sportsmanship, willing cooperation, and honesty among themselves. The G. A. A. strives to stimulate keen interest in sports. A££! When spring is really here they hold a tennis tournament which any girl is allowed to enter. The girls enjoy tennis very much, for they get a chance to demonstrate their own ability and show their good sportsmanship. The winner of the contest is awarded a medal and the congralulaticns of all the contestants. Another very active club is the Tumbling club. Any Sophomore, Junior, or Senior girl may become a member pro- viding she can pass the preliminary tryouts given to all new entries who wish to join the club. The girls go to a re- gular tumbling class for a certain period of time and then a test is given, and the best tumblers are taken into the club. This club is very active and performs for all athletic events, in the intermission of basketball games, and at other events. At the end of every club function this year, a party was given or some other kind of entertainment, such as a treasure hunt or a dance. The G. A. A. was very active this year in the social life as well as in the athletic life of the school. The girls put on excellent assemblies. They sponsored candy sales to finance different club functions and to help school activities. Miss Dumbleton, the advisor of the club, takes keen interest in sports, arouses the interest of the girls, and inspires in them a desire to excell. The G. A. A. is a large organization, but it gives special attention to every girl and all get a chance to partake in its functions.

Although girls ' basketball is not as fast a game as boys ' basketball, it is a very invigorating game, enjoyed by all who participate. A series of practice games were run off to give the girls a chance to perfect themselves. The games were held in both the old Emerson High school and our new P. J. Jacobs gyms. Then the schedule was made and actual tournament playing was begun. All the teams that won their first games played for first, second, and third places. Those who lost played a consolation tournament. The teams were as evenly matched as they could be and the elimination contest began. All the girls played hard and the games were very exciting. The elimination contests went on until Maxine Swift ' s Feather Merchants finally proved to be the best team. They were a warded gold medals significant of the victory that they had achieved. A close second place was won by Vir- ginia Strope ' s Yellow Hornets , who were presented with silver medals. Third place was won by Elizabeth Prond- zinski ' s Benny ' s Smugglers , who also v ere awarded medals.

Some B ' s and C ' s — and many D ' s, And once an F (how sad!) How av ful that was. Oh few are the times that I studied. But more of the times busy-buddied, With pals in the room where I studied No lessons done — but oh such fun! Thanks for the memory Of clubs and council meets. Of athletic feats. Of skies of blue or rainbow hue. But noiAT my years are through. So thank you — adieu.

' Lorraine Klucks Irene Zurawskis Irene Zindas Bob Hansons Ray Bartkowiaks DOUBLES Virginia Clarks Gertrude Boushleys Ray Wishneskis Many of us go all through life trying to find our doubles , but few of us are as fortunate as these students who have their doubles (if in name only), right in the student body of which they are a part. However, having a double is not as much fun as it seems, according to the opinion of some of the above pictured. Not a few embarrassing moments are caused by having another person in the school bearing the same name as they do. Then too, the school tongue- waggers (gossips to you), don ' t always bother to absolutely identify their victim by designating the unfortunate ' s middle name or initial. It also gives the innocent double a very queer feeling to be summoned to the office, and per- haps be assigned to a week in detention for some crime he didn ' t commit, only to have the office find out, after half the term is served, that the other half was the guilty party. (They call it the irony of fate and grin!!) But having a do uble has some good points, too! For instance, if it so happens that your double has accomplished some noble deed or hard task, it gives the name twin a very complacent feeling to be heartily congratulated for something he didn ' t do. (And if he protests, the people say he is too modest!!) Perhaps some day you and I too will experience a new feeling when a friend raves over some wonderful (or terrible) deed our namesake did, and stops to recall our ex- perience to us. But don ' t bother to deny it! (They ' ll only think you ' re wacky!) PAGE 146 i -Moe ' em aovm • | Inseparables ,13 Whaf s so funny? J. A.
