JrN presenting this book, the Senior class has at- tempted to record through picture and paragraph the activities and events which occurred during the school year of nineteen thirty-nine and forty. We hope that you will treasure and cherish your Tattler as we treasure the experiences which have made possible its publication. The boy or girl who has attended P. J. Jacobs High school, who has known its work and its play, who has found companionship and friend- ship within its doors, will wish forever to remember high school days. May the Tattler now and in future years help bring back happy memories. rtyu . ' , . Our School ♦ CALENDAR ♦ ORGANIZATIONS - , fc ' Our People ♦ ADMINISTRATION , ♦ CLASSES .

The worst mis- giving I feel is the fact that I shall have to leave the dear old Alma Mater in the spring! When a Freshie starts school he can only ' hink oi — Oh golly, four years of it! It is al- ways that way, not only with school, but with everything you come in contact with. Until you become thoroughly acquainted with the set up, it puts you at a disadvantage. School can ' t be classed with anything, however, be- cause there are teachers who go out of the way to make you feel at home. (Think of as- signments as being a little housework to do — for instance, washing dishes). Make home and school synonomous. The building this year is only two years old and it is already mellow with wonderful and glorious happenings. It is enhanced by the gay and youthful occupants — Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and even the Seniors — who forget themselves in the madcap plunge into the life of education and social whirls. School offers the student a wide and diver- sified field in sports, academics, music, and forensics. The wise student is one who parti- cipates in a variety of extra-curricular activi- ties. Remember — a narrow path in youth leads one in narrowness all his life. A well rounded program affords the student personal contacts, some of which he wll cherish all his life. Our school upholds the reputation of hav- ing one of the best sportsmanlike football teams, basketball teams, hockey teams, and baseball teams in the Valley Conference. For those who excell in athletics the sports field is varied. Now I know that there are many bashful hopefuls who, although not outstand- ing in athletics, like a game of basketball or boxing now and then. For these people there is a well developed intramural system and it is put into practice each year. The music department is widely acclaimed as being outstanding in the versatility of the respective musicians. The band, orchestra, glee club, and a cappella choir are the con- stituents of the music department, which make it as complete as any other department in the school. Every student is encouraged to partake in forensics. In fact those outstanding in public speaking are urged to enter debate, oratory, or extemporaneous speaking and reading. These are activities which everyone should lake advantage of to round out the worthwhile plan of high school. Let us alight briefly on the clubs which offer the average student a varied contact with many different types of people. Through the clubs the student reach- es a better understanding with the teachers who act as advisers. We Seniors are not enthusiastic about re- linquishing our hold on high school — but we leave it up to you under-classmen to fill these portals of wisdom with wholesome laughter and gladness. Dear Reader — This calendar is only a small part of school activities. We leave it to you to make the most of your future years. PAGE 3 SEPTEMBER September 7 — Dear Diary — Theoretically this is the first day of school — taking it literally it is, but I can stiil picture myself (and many others, more optimistic and persevering than I), standing in line a couple of days before school officially opened buying books, the tools of education. September 15 — A very warm day for September! In spite of the heat, our high school band appeared at a pep assembly this morning in their red and black regalia, all ready to toot their ov?n horns. The cause for the assembly v as a football game with Merrill at Goerke Park. In spite of bubbling enthusiasm, we lost 12 to 0. September 22 — Clubs are busy meeting and the issue that is at stake is the problem of choosing prospective members — my, such conflicts! The nev est addition to the list of clubs is the Monitors ' Club. Although it is an infant among the clubs it is wholly composed of the super-intelligentsia — Seniors. The pep assembly this morning was a timely preliminary for the Marshfield game in which our ball-carrying heroes held their own, with the finishing score, to 0. September 28 — I never saw such dramatic talent until the Dramatic club tryouts were held. September 30 — The football teem played at Vv ausau tonight. Wausau v as the victor by a tremendous margin, 42 to 6. We consoled ourselves with the fact that Wausau has massacred every team so far. OCTOBER October 3 — Dear Diary — In spite of the attempt to cut down the cost of running the high school, there will be an increase in the light bill. Each monitor, studious or otherwise, was presented a lamp v rith the compliments of Mr. Kraus and the school board. (Talk about luxury, the lamps are so constructed that the light is concentrated on the subject and not on the stu- dent. Next they ' ll be sitting in Morris chairs — Oh be a monitor). Gosh — today I got a glimpse of a handsome boy. After a ievr subtle in- quiries, I gathered the following information; Senior, smart, not going steady — in fact he just broke up a month ago. Maybe I have a chance. — Anyway life has taken on a purpose. Heretofore it had been rather dull. October 5 — I have made a few guarded attempts to pave the v ray for the basis of a v ronderful friendship. In view of the outcome, they must have been loo well guarded. I received nothing but a few smiles for my hard work (not a bad reward — he has such nice teeth!). There was a dance in the gym tonight — Frances Mae and her Coeds played. It should have been peppy, but it wasn ' t. None of the football players were there — and he is on the football team. October 6 — Our ball-carrying heroes v ent to Nekoosa tonight. Oh, hap- piness — we won 6 to 0. No school today because of the teachers ' conven- tion at Wausau. October 12 — For the past few days it has been raining and bitter cold. This morning it turned even colder. In spile of the arctic weather the band marched valiantly to the banks of the Wisconsin River and there played several stirring marches. The cause for the ceremonial rites was the Stevens Point Centennial. October 13 — There has been an unusual amount of subdued excitement and activity for the past week, which culminated today in a homecoming celebration. It can ' t be said that the P. J. Jacobs High school students don ' t do things up to a t . First of all there was a peppy assembly. The enthusiasm was dampened a little by the rain and snow, but it eventually cleared off and the sun shone and with it the winds came. In the after- noon each club and home room outdid one another in a parade — every kind of a float was in evidence. Financially it was a success — the ribbon sale went over with a bang! We played Rhinelander with a vengeance and beat them 7 to 0. To let off the excess steam and energy of the foot- ball fans, there was a dance after the game. October 17 — T. B. tests were given today. Even after three years of arm-punching it hurt. For shame — and a Senior too. October 20 — A pep assembly was held this morning by the Red and Black club. I guess it wasn ' t the right send-off, because the team lost to Antigo 13 to 0. October 23 — Report cards today, and for most everyone there was a good crop of C ' s — the explanation being — you ' ll have better grades v hen -we get to know you better — oh yeah! Ocober 27 — The team and band went to Wisconsin Rapids tonight. The team lost 6 to 0. The band did itself proud. October 31 — There was an assembly this morning as a preliminary to the Fair. To be different from other years the Fair consisted of an Amateur hour. To polish things off, Irv Lutz played for the dance. In the course of the evening there was a jitterbug contest. ■H S!! ■ ■ 111 iUi ■■■ NOVEMBER November 1, 2, 3 — Dear Diary — No school for three days — a momentous incident — the teachers ' convention at Milwaukee. November 10, 11 — The Student Council has been working diligently and effectively. The Council sent four delegates to the State Convention of Stu- dent Council Representatives at Madison. They came back with many new and different ideas. November 15 — Tonight Ted Shawn and his famed men dancers performed at the high school before a large and attentive audience. Whew — they ' re limber! November 16, 17 — The band sponsored the annual Turkey Trot both of these nights. The concerts were good and so were the prizes — hope you got one. ' November 21 — At a non-conference basketball game tonight v re beat Kaukauna 28 to 26. There was a lot of enthusiasm — we couldn ' t help but win. November 23 — Today is Thanksgiving day. more universally known as Franksgiving day. President Roosevelt set Thanksgiving one week ahead — as a result we got that day off! November 28 — There was a band concert tonight. It was very good. The band is busy working on their tournament numbers now. So far, so good! November 29 — The Pep club dance gathered a big crowd — everyone was at ease and had lots of fun in spite of six weeks ' tests the same day. As for myself, the movies v ere more interesting. He is as nice on a date as he is in school. Hope I see more of him! November 30 — As this was the real Thanksgiving day, we had a vaca- tion. I think most everyone had turkey today. Hov about it? I, per usual, ate too much — but temptation is the cause for deviation from any rule. DECEMBER December 1 — Dear Diary — Thanksgiving vacation is carried over into December. It wasn ' t a nice day either — rainy and dark and damp — it would be that way for vacation. December 7 — 1 got my quota of plays today, enough for two months. After school, I think you know when — 3:45 — I attended Dramatic club meet- ing. Those new members positively scintillate. Tonight my new boy friend took me to the Junior class play which was excellently portrayed. It was a delightful comedy by the name of Growing Pains — well adapted to high school students, don ' t you think? December 8 — We do have some of the most famous personages visit our school! The Girls ' Athletic Association sponsored the assembly this morn- ing and as the main speaker they had Chuck Fenske, the famous mile- runner. Not only did he speak at the assembly but he addressed various history classes. Moving pictures were taken of the assembly, faculty, students, and the band, today — funny, even the most composed people v ere self-conscious! We played Rhinelander tonight in basketball and came out on top, victor of our first conference game 35 to 28. It is such a good feeling to win a game — football season kind of let us down. December 11 — We had an inspiring assembly this afternoon — no morning sleep in our eyes. United States Senator Wiley of Chippewa Falls, Wis- consin was the speaker and he carried on an informal assembly. When the text of his talk was given, questions were asked him by politically minded students and the Senator most graciously answered them — even though the answers i vere rather guarded. December 12 — Merrill ' s basketball team came down tonight, ready for victory. Gosh, we hated to disappoint them, but the score was 31 to 20. In our favor of course! December 15 — The assembly this morning was put on by the German Club — it was interesting! The team, undefeated as yet, went to Antigo tonight and came back vic- torious— 24 to 22. December 16 — Members of the Pep Club came to school on Saturday for the sixth day — they decorated the school with mistletoe and laden Xmas trees. The finished products made a pretty picture — it all aids in the pre- vailing spirit of oncoming Christmas. December 18 — Gee, talk about confusion. Last night someone broke into the high school. They damaged property and left the gas jets open. An explosion was avoided by quick thinking on the part of Mr. Semrow, the engineer. Whoops, I bumped into a Journal reporter and are those police- men ever busy! December 22 — This morning we had an inspiring Christmas assembly. From 3:45 p. m. on is Christmas vacation. Boy — what a relief! Hope Santa is more than good to all of you. I only hope we get some snow. There ' s nothing nicer than a white Christmas — see you next year! PAGE II JANUARY January 8 — Dear Diary — We all came back 1o school this morning. I saw him today. In fact he came to my locker before home room — but this isn ' t the first I ' ve seen of him since the last day of school. Heavens, no! I had several dates with him during the vacation, including New Years Eve. By the way, how did you do New Years Eve? All right, I won ' t embarrass you. I had a nice wholesome time — Hope you can say the same for yourself!? We had an assembly sponsored by the D. O. P. E. club sixth period. I ' m certain that the pep which issued forth was the factor which brought about our victory. We played Wisconsin Rapids tonight and we trimmed them 34 to 20 — v hat a satisfaction it is to gloat over our long-standing rival ' s defeat. January 12 — Deflated is the ego of our heretofore unconquered basketball team. Marshfield defeated them tonight, 20 to 17 — Oh what a crushing blow. All unconscious of the fact that we lost were the Sophomores, an un- usually peppy bunch this year, who were merrily tripping the light fan- tastic at the Sophomore party. He and I went out to the gym and look- ed in on these lighthearted boys and girls — It was a joyful sight to see them having fun with such abandonment. January 15 — Sixth period today we attended a very interesting assembly. A missionary from Persia was the speaker, and the clothing he wore was indicative of what the native wears in Persia. He also displayed fas- cinating articles, such as bells which the shepherds use and rugs that are woven in that country. One of the most arresting things he told us was the way in which the Persian worships, it was very complete with ges- tures, utterances, and further demonstrations. January 18 — Nekoosa ' s basketball team played here tonight and were sadly defeated. The score was 33 to 22 in our favor. January 19 — The Commercial club put on an assembly this morning. Tony Klein and his artists v ere the performers. January 24 — The gym exhibit, an annual event, drew a large crowd to- night. The girls were in perfect form — . January 26 — The D. O. P. E. club held its annual dance tonight. It was a special event. I ' ve had a date for it weeks in advance. That ' s right you ' ve guessed it — I went with him . I ' m still swept off my feet a little. Tonight was the first lime he kissed me — and I ' ll admit, it was very nice. January 27 — The basketball team went to Wausau tonight, and Wausau beat Ihem 40 to 34. The second de feat of the season — everyone is bev ail- ing that fact. We started out with such a good record. Oh well you can ' t alv ays be the winner. January 29 — Report card day today. I ' m satisfied with my grades. My hard work wasn ' t in vain. Was yours? Oh I see, you don ' t work hard! January 30 — Today is the beginning of the second semester. Here is a chance to make a fresh start — course the teachers are wise to our past history. FEBRUARY February 2 — Dear Diary — The debate tournaments were held here today. After a meeting of the debating teams and judges in the music room they dispersed and went to meet their adversaries. The Point didn ' t do so badly. To finish off a busy day, Marshfield played here tonight and we l eat them 24 to 21 — A pretty close call! February 3 — He and I went to the Red and Black club dance. It was beautifully decorated, carrying out the valentine motif. It v as a well con- ducted dance, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. February 9 — The Monitor ' s club put on the assembly today, and it was an excellent one. Almost every monitor participated in the program, and it filled the student body with pep and enthusiasm. The talk which was given carried us back to the days of 1920 and the game at the Rapids. The team bowed to the Rapids in an overtime score of 24 to 22. It was extremely exciting. Fe ' oruary 16 — The band put on a fine musical assembly this morning. Wish I had been in the audience so I could hear it too — I had to play though. Nekoosa played basketball here tonight. Joy o! joys — we beat them 28 to 12 February 22 — The team went to Wausau tonight. We lost 28 to 26. Can ' t we ever be consistent? February 26 — The Dramatic club had its usual rowdy-dow at its an- nual sleigh-ride party tonight. February 27 — Eau Claire beat us tonight 27 to 26 in a non-conference game. February 29 — Today is Leap Year ' s day — Did you make the most of it, qirls PAGE 12 MARCH March 7 — Dear Diary — We had an assembly this morning which we hoped would be the right send-off for the basketball team. Today is the beginning of the championship tournament at Wisconsin Rapids. From all appearances we must have given the team the right sendoff, because we beat Wisconsin Rapids, 49 to 31. Did -we ever feel good! It does some- thing to us to beat our rivals, of a long way back! March 8 — There is the best feeling of good will and enthusiasm today — I still marvel at the way the boys on the team stand up under such hearty back slapping and jovial handshaking. There was an assembly this morning at which the five boys who went to Badger Boys ' State at Delafield_last summer told of their experiences. The five boys are Roman Cooper, Melvin Schuweiler, Bob Menzel, Bill Smith, and Frank Steckel. From what was said, they must have had a good time. As the second night of the tournament progressed, v e played Taylor, a good fighting team in spite of the small size of the town. We were lucky ■o pull out by a small margin, nevertheless, beating them 22 to 17 Our standing in the tournament? So far — so good! March 9 — Tonight the Girls ' Pep club had its annual banquet. It was a gala affair — there were songs and entertainment, and Mrs. Pfiffner gave an interesting talk on the past history of the club. The team went to the Rapids with light hearts, and almost confident of victory. We played Marshfield. and much to our sorrow, we were defeat- ed 24 to 23. We only hope that they will come out on top at Madison at the state tournament. Anyway the team had good backing at the Rapids. A large group of Point fans raged and cheered at the correct times. This always adds a lot and bolsters up the team ' s morale. Especially yells like these — Boo, take him out , Kill the referee and many others similar to these! March 13 — At an assembly today there were two speakers from the American Legion in Mil vaukee. The two men were Mr. Greenya and Mr. Stordock, who both were advisors at the Badger Boys ' State last summer. Mr. Greenya was a very interesting speaker. The names of the boys who go to Badger Boys ' State this summer were disclosed at this assembly. They are Jim O ' Brien, George Frost, James Kurtzweil, Donald Walker, Richard Oik, and Robert Atkins. I never saw six such happy boys at one time. March 29 — The nicest time I ' ve ever had in my four years of high school I had tonight. The happy occasion was the Junior Prom, and of course you ' ve guessed it, I went with him. I got a new dress and new shoes and all else that goes with it. This all went into making a v onderful evening. He had a new topcoat and looked absolutely handsome. I hate to think that it is my last prom — you lucky underclassmen! APRIL April 1 — Dear Diary — Well, little fools, did any foolish fools fool you on April Fools day? What fools these mortals be. April 3 — Forensic contests were held in school to eliminate some people and keep others. There was a lot of good natured rivalry all day. April 5 — There was a dance at the High school tonight, dancing to famous orchestras reproduced on those black waxed discs more commonly known as records. He and 1 v.rent out and danced quite a few dances and left for further enjoyments. April 10 — Those declaimers and orators vrho v ere not eliminated here went to Wisconsin Rapids today to participate in the contest there. April 12 — The police cadets sponsored a very nice dance tonight — the second annual Policeman ' s Ball. Music was furnished by Benny Graham and his orchestra. Leering blue-uniformed police caricatures pointed ac- cusing fingers and billy clubs at innocent dancers who flaunted by. This was a standing date with him per usual. Oh, gosh, I always have such an enjoyable time when I ' m with him. You haven ' t heard much about him lately have you? We ' ve both been quite busy, but not too busy to see enough of each other. We always walk to class together and frequently he escorts me home after school, especially during these pleas- ant, balmy spring days. April 17 — The district Forensic contest was held at the college today. There were two entries from our high school, Esther Moreau and Melvin Schu ' weiler, who both ■won first places in serious declamation and oratory, respectively. April 19 — One of the most colorful events of the year in Stevens Point is the annual band festival. Many bands, some 30 or 40 participated today, both in concert playing and in the parade. Our senior band won a trophy for marching. April 25 — Today we inaugurated our first All Guidance Day. Most of the credit is due to Mrs. Pfiffner for her diligent work to make this day a success. Juniors and Seniors attended the lectures and apparently gained much knowledge concerning future vocations. PAGE 13 MAY May 3 — Dear Diary — Today was the first day of the band tournament at Wisconsin Rapids. Everyone came back with addresses — that is everyone except those going steady. Then their eyes don ' t even wander. To get back to the business at hand, today was the day that all soloists were entered. I played a solo myself and know only too well what agonies and torture of mind the soloist goes through. It is especially horrible when you are scheduled to play at one o ' clock and don ' t play until two o ' clock. By that time the nerves of the soloist are pretty well frayed. The accompanist deserves a lot of credit, too. There is usually alvi ays the obstacle of having to play for two soloists at the same time — which you must admit is on the slightly impossible side — especially when you are supposed to be in two places at the same time. That is just one of the accompanist ' s headaches. May 4 — Today was the second day of the band tournament and what confusion — but it is pleasant confusion, what with brightly colored suits and flashing of gold and silver instruments in the warm sun. Candid camera fiends hid behind every tree and I am sure they got some in- teresting pictures. Can ' t you just see the different types of band students? There are those bookish people armed with black-rimmed glasses, adams apple and a violin flung through their arms — and can ' t you hear them say, Er, ah, pahdon me, but I see you come from Marshfield. I hear you are attempting to play ' Marche Slave ' . Now don ' t you think that at nine and ten the composer should have made the key in A minor and those quarter notes eighth notes? and so on. These are just a fev r of the things that the observant onlooker sees. Subtle ways and means of meeting people. Personally I ' m happy in my apparent oblivion. May 8 — In recognition of the fine work done by the band at the tourna- ment and the many honors they came back with, an assembly was held this morning in their honor. Each soloist who won first place was in- troduced and three quartets played their numbers. I think the band de- serves a lot of credit — don ' t you? May 9 — Tonight a large crowd attended the previewr and only showing of the Senior class play. It was a huge success and I know the actors en- joyed presenting it. In fact we were sorry when it was all over. The name of the play was New Fires and I think the play warmed many parents ' hearts. May 10 — Tonight he and I went out to the high school to dance to Laurie Brill and his scintillating music. There was a sizable crowd and you know what — ? I ' ve gotten so that I can follow him to perfection. In fact, I find it harder and less desirable to dance with other boys. My, 1 guess I ' m in a rut, but it is such a nice rut! 16 — This morning there was an assembly for the Seniors only. Later in the morning the College Men ' s Glee Club came over and sang for us. It was a pleasant hour, and the students received the Glee club with hearty applause. It is an annual event to which every student looks for- ward with much anticipation. May 16, 17, 18 — Early the morning of the sixteenth, class A soloists, who placed first at the district tournament left Stevens Point in the gray dawn for bigger places — bigger places ' tis true, but not any better. They left, with sleep in their eyes and hope in their hearts, for the national sectional music tournament which is being held in St. Paul for three days. The soloists are Harold Meacham, Dick Holcombe, Betty June Frost, Robert ' Woychowski, Robert Olson, Frederick Harriman, Joseph Heitzinger, William Steckel, James Whelihan, and Shirlee Ann Emmons. Ensembles also going are the drum ensemble, clarinet quartet, cornet quartet, and horn quartet. We wish them the best of luck — and more honors for the P. J. Jacobs High school. May 17 — Tonight he and I attended the Senior Ball. Ray Jacobs and his mellow artists played for the gala event. We were saddened by the thought that this would be our last high school dance, but it only served to let us make the most of it, so we could always carry a happy memory of our last Senior ball. May 26. Tonight the Seniors listened to the baccalaureate sermon — the preliminary to commencement exercises. JUNE June 5 — Dear Diary — Tonight has oeen the saddest yet happiest night of my life. I sincerely hate to leave high school. I feel as though I were part and parcel of it and yet I feel a glovr to know that I have passed twelve years of school and really gotten something out of them. These commencement exercises are inspiring and make you want to take the world by storm. But, underclassmen, I leave this thought with you: un- less you make yourselves enjoy school and really get something out of it, you will be unhappy persons when you grow older. Camera shy THE KING AND QUEEN Starlit Hour was the theme of this year ' s Junior Prom and four starht hours were enjoy- ed by 225 couples at the big dance which was held in the gymnasium of the P. J. Jacobs High school on Friday evening, March 29. The decorations in the gym carried out the chosen theme, and as dancers entered they saw on the stage a tall clock tower whose hands pointed to eleven o ' clock. A starlit sky was the background for a penthouse and the New York skyline. Divans, easy chairs, and floor lamps were placed around the edge of the floor. Ted Gay ' s eleven piece orchestra was seat- ed on the stage and formed the proper musi- cal foundation for the affair. This Oshkosh or- chestra selected numbers that helped carry out the Starlit Hour theme. Stationed at the door in order to hand out programs to the prom-goers were little Pauline Vincent, daughter of Superintendent and Mrs. Paul M. Vincent, and Jimmy Ringdahl, son of Coach and Mrs. Harry J. Ringdahl, who pre- sented circular programs of blue and silver. On these was pictured a couple sitting on a new moon up in a starlit sky. At 9:30, two hundred couples gathered for the grand march, the longest in the history of the gym. Auburn-haired, popular Pat Elliott, the Junior class president, led the grand march with pretty Elaine Karner, prominent alumna of Point High. Second in line were Roman Cooper, Senior class president, with Marian Glodoske. Following these were Don Somers, with Olive Hale, and Bill Smith, with Beverly Hoppensted, the boys being Junior and Sen- ior vice-presidents, respectively. PAGE 16 ' Ju u nio P Jvo-m A cuie During an intermission, those in attendance were entertained by Bill S teckel and Jos- ephina Whelihan in special dance numbers. Don Walker, master of ceremonies, then again presented Bill, who completed the program with vocal solos. Mr. and Mrs. Ray C. Elliott, Mr. and Mrs. Anton F. Karner, Mr. and Mrs. Norman W. Hahn, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph F. Kraus, and Mr. and Mrs. Paul M. Vincent were the chaperones and special guests for the annual promenade. Class advisors are Miss Anne DeBase, Miss Lucille Janz, Miss Ethelwyn Baerwaldt, and Fred Hebal. The prom, which is the affair that juniors and seniors anticipate the most during the en- tire year, was a complete success. Committees were as follows: PROGRAM: Art Swenson, chairman, Jo- seph Kraus, Toni Martini, Jean Doolittle, Dick Oik, and Ruth Crowley.

THE STARLIT HOUR towLiiri 99 aifiS JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Growing Pains, the Junior class play, is a comedy of adolescence. The play, given on December 7, 1939, and directed by Miss Abel, was presented on the stage of the Emer- son school auditorium before a capacity crowd. The play centers around the young son and daughter of Professor and Mrs. Mclntyre, namely George and Terry Mclntyre. George and Terry are just at the age where they are thinking about growing up. Terry stops play- ing ball with the boys and starts to wear high heeled shoes and act more grown up. George and his friends begin to think more about girls. When Prudence, a very fashionable good looking girl who acts much older, comes to town, George and his friend, Brian, have a race to see which one can win Prudence ' s attention. Brian seems to be winning until Prudence tells him she thinks he is young . Then both boys forget her and Brian ' s atten- tion goes back to Terry, who all this time has been making herself miserable over the other girl ' s intrusion.

The plot tells of Stephen Santry who in- herits a small farm from an eccentric old uncle. Since Stephen is at his wit ' s end to know what to do with his family, he decides to have them visit his farm. Some time after the arrival, after Stephen has become exas- perated with their reactions to his hospitality, he issues the ultimatum that he who wants food and clothing must work for it. Olive feigns sickness in an effort to con- vince her father that she must go home. Lynn Gray, the country doctor, is called in, and he falls in love with Olive. The gradual change in the attitudes of the family toward farm life occupies the rest of the plot. At the conclusion of the play, the entire family is inspired with a love for the environment of the simple life. A large audience attended the play which was held in the Emerson school auditorium on the evening of May 9. SENIOR CLASS PLAY CAST TOP ROW: Moreau, Smith, Emomns. Steller.

Outstanding scholarship, leadership, char- acter, and service are required for member- ship in the National Honor Society of Second- ary schools. Membership in this society re- presents the highest honor the school can be- stow upon a pupil. To be eligible, a pupil must rank in the first third of his class scholastically. For member- ship in the Junior year an average of 90 is re- quired, and for the Senior year it is 88. It is therefore evident that it is a particular honor for members to be admitted in their Junior year. A pupil must also rank in extra-curricular activities. These activities may include any of those offered in P. J. Jacobs High school. Through participation in these extra activities, 20 points must be acquired. Besides leader- ship in studies and extra-curricular activities, a pupil must also be a leader in school pep and enthusiasm for his school. Character is stressed for eligibility, as po- tential National Honor society members are not only expected to become good students but good citizens. The high standards set by the National Honor society guide the members in perfecting their characters. Service is required of the honor students, as they perform their duties efficiently and help promote student enthusiasm and interest in the ideals of the society. Membership in this society is shown by the national insignia, a pin or charm in the shape of a keystone. On it are a flaming torch and the letters S, L, C, and S, which stand for scholarship, leadership, ch aracter, and ser- vice. Under the supervision of Miss Ethelywyn Baerwaldt, National Honor society adviser this year, various ice cream bar sales were sponsored throughout the year. Proceeds were used for worthy school causes. Members of the group edited attractive calendars of school activities which -were printed in the school print shop and distributed with the compli- ments of the National Honor Society. President ....

The council was made up of members who had been elected the second semester of last year and one student elected from each Freshman home room. At the close of last year ' s term, Bob Olson was elected president; Phyllis Eckels, vice- president; Melvin Schuweiler, secretary; and Don Walker, treasurer. At the beginning of the year, three standing committees were appointed by the president, the most important being the executive com- mittee. This committee acted as an advisory group to the council. The other committees were the social committee, which had juris- diction over all social affairs of the school, and the assembly board, which was in charge of the student assemblies. One of the school events which was taken care of almost entirely by the student council was the successful homecoming parade in the fall. The council was represented at the state Student Council Convention at Madison by Mrs. Pfiffner and Miss Elias, as faculty advi- sors, and Bette June Frost, Phyllis Eckels, Don Walker, Bill Smith, Dick Oik, and Bill Ritchay, student representatives. Some very good ideas were brought back by these students and some of them were put into effect. One idea obtained at the state council, which was carried out, was the Leap Year dance. It was managed by the social committee and was a very successful dance. Bill Smith, as chairman of the assembly board, first semester, and Don Walker, second semester, announced almost all school assem- blies. The council was also active in inter-school affairs held here. Several members helped during the sectional debate tournament and also at the All-Guidance Day for Juniors and Seniors held on April 25. On this day there were four conferences held througout the day at which there were speakers who represented the various vocations and colleges. Mem- bers from the council greeted the counsellors and advisors of other schools and made them feel at home. Recognition must be given to Mrs. Pfiffner, Miss Elias, and Miss Rice, who really made the council a success. PAGE 23 FIRST SEMESTER MONITORS TOP ROW: Moreau, 1.

The members were seniors who were chosen by the faculty for their reliability and trustworthiness. These students were appointed a few weeks after school began. They were called together and at this time Mr. Kraus explained their duties. Officers were also elected as follows: Frank Steckel, president, Yvonne Cassidy, vice pre- sident, and Betty June Frost, secretary. There were six monitors for each period, plus a few assistants who took charge during the ab- sence of the regular members. Each monitor was stationed in the hall during one of his free periods. The Monitors club wasn ' t very active as a club, but each individual had his own job to attend to and it was plenty of work. They had to check each student as he walked along the halls during class time, to see if he had a hall permit or not. Those who had no slips were reported to the office. In this way, much of the former disturbance in the halls was corrected. To show strangers around the school was also a duty of the monitors. Although they had no regular club meet- ings they got together and gave the student body one of the peppiest assemblies of the year. Each one took part in it and showed how the school went to ' Rapids in the old days — in a sleigh! Miss Marsh was the able advisor of this club.

Btujd nt Poiioe The Student Police really got off to a good start this year and everyone has realized that they are very efficient at directing pedestrian traffic around school. They have prevented many accidents and have given their services to the students and teachers in all kinds of weather. The Student Police organization was found- ed in this school last year by Mrs. Pfiffner, Mr. Kraus, Officer Browan and the Student council. It was directed successfully by these and a few of the students, including Don Lar- son, who was president of the Police commis- sion. At one of the first meetings this year, the following officers of the commission were elected; Bill Ritchay, president; Archie La- zewski, vice-president; Jim O ' Brien, secretary; and Don Walker, treasurer. Other members of the commission were Bob Olson, Roman Cooper, and Al Olingy. This group, with Mr. Bannach, who succeeded Mrs. Pfiffner as ad- visor this year, held many meetings and worked out the many problems that came up. As officers of the patrol, Chet Kubisiak and Anton Domaszek were made captains, and Jim Dehlinger and Bob Jenkins, lieutenants. The boys were always at their posts if it was utterly possible. They always arrived a few minutes earlier than the students both in the morning and at noon. There were two groups on the patrol and these groups would alternate, one coming one week, and the other, the next week. Besides their splendid work while on duty, the cadets were hosts at one of the best social events of the year, the Police Cadets ' ball. This was given during the early spring sea- son, on April 12. It turned out just fine and it showed what these boys could really do from the social standpoint. No one is asked to join the patrol who isn ' t really interested and feels serious about his duties. As a result, this group has always been a help when needed and has won the respect and admiration of all the students. POLICE COMMISSION Coopor, Laszewski, O ' Brien, Ritchay, Olson, Walker, Olingy.

All year the student body awaits the distribution of the yearbook and when the books come out, if the annual is not up to their expectations, they are much disappointed. The staff this year has tried to make a book which would meet the approval of everyone. The Tattler has been completely revised from that of last year, as the staff felt it could best take advantage of the available space by complete revision. The two sections of the book are: Our School, containing the cal- endar of the school year, student govern- ment, organizations and clubs, music, and physical education; and Our People , con- taining the administration, the faculty, and the classes. It was the aim of the staff to have the pic- ture of every student in the year book so that when one picks the book up five years hence he can see how he looked in 1940. This year the size of pictures and the character and cleaness of the pictures were emphasized. The faculty pictures were action shots, thus pro- ducing informal and natural effects. To encourage more students to read the copy, it was put into two columns on a page. The amount of copy was reduced from last year and larger type used. Another addition this year is the Senior activities pages found iust beyond the Senior pictures. One of the most attractive features of this year ' s book is the portrayal of the ideal high school boy and girl carried out in the cartoons and division pages. The couple is seen taking part in every activity in school. The school calendar was written to represent the diary of this ideal high school girl.

A. Speerstra PRECOURT EECKE CASSIDY FIRKU3 Jte MmiAo This year when the call went forth for stu- dents interested in work on the school paper, a record number applied. The staff was not selected until after the first two issues, by which time the number of student applicants had decreased somewhat. By using this me- thod it was thought only those who had a genuine interest in the paper and a willing- ness to work would be on the staff. With com- petition running high among those who wished a place on the staff the first two issues were brought out with very few complica- tions. However, a group of boys felt that they would like to issue one Mirror and the oppor- tunity was given them by the superintendent. Because of the utmost consideration shown to this new staff by everyone to whom they went, the regular members of the Mirror staff, who had not met with the same co-operation, were somewhat discouraged. Nevertheless, after several pep talks by Miss Schaffner and Mr. Speerstra, the regular staff rallied again and from that time on produced an issue of the Mirror approximately every two weeks. It was the ambition of the Mirror staff to have a larger paper, but this was impossible, since the work of printing had to be done in the high school print shop where equipment is limited. However, the staff is anxiously awaiting the time when a new and larger press, capable of printing a five-column pa- per, will be added to the print shop equip- ment. The staff met with only partial success when it tried to create a better paper by asking for contributions from the student body. The Mirror staff reminded the students that the Mirror cannot be an outstanding success until all realize that news is created by the co- operation of everyone. ' SCHUWEILER KURTZWEIL LASZEWSKI WALKER ewite eatft This season saw the interest in debate at a new high. From the 21 students who were enrolled in the special debate class, which was offered this year for the first time, were chosen those who would represent the school. In this special course the students learned the fundamentals of debate, such as research work, preparation of the brief and rebuttal, as well as actual debating. Debates were held before this class and also in several other classrooms. Mr. Moreau, debate coach, who also had charge of this class, says that the class was well worth while for those who were interested in debate. It is hoped that next year the class will be open to Sopho- mores as well as to Juniors. A great deal of research, time, and effort was necessary to debate the question: Re- solved, that the federal government should own and operate the railroads. The debate squad, composed of four mem- bers and two alternates, was selected after elimination debates among the 19 students who actually debated. The squad participat- ed in several non-decision debates at Wiscon- sin Rapids and Waupaca. The highlight of the season was the district tournament be- tween 26 schools, which was held here at Stevens Point. Although our squad did not win the right to represent the district, they left behind them a record of three victories out of six debates. This year the squad will lose two members by graduation, Jim Jacobs and Melvin Schu- weiler. The following represented P. J. Jacobs High school this year in debate: AFFIRMATIVE Melvin Schuweiler Joe Kraus Jim Kurtzweil NEGATIVE Don Walker Archie Laszewski Jim Jacobs SEASON ' S RECORD DISTRICT TOURNAMENT AT STEVENS POINT AFFIRMATIVE WINNER LOSER Marshfield Stevens Point Merrill Stevens Point Stevens Point Wisconsin Rapids NEGATIVE Greenwood Stevens Point Stevens Point Birnamwood Stevens Point Adams-Friendship DEHLINGER MOREAU FIRKUS WALKER SCHUWEILER o ie Uioi This year P. J. Jacobs High school was very well represented in the local, league, district, and state contests. Many teachers gave gen- erously of their time and help in coaching stu- dents for the respective contests. In the preliminary contests held to deter- mine which students would represent Stevens Point in the inter-school contest, James Deh- linger was chosen in extemporaneous speak- ing and Don Walker in extemporaneous read- ing. On April 2, the final eliminations in ora- tory and declamation were held. Those tak- ing part in the final contest were: Helen Fir- kus and Yvonne Moreau in humorous decla- mation, which was won by Helen Firkus; Bill Fryer, Kent Cutnaw, Archie Laszewski, and Melvin Schuweiler in oratory, which was won by Melvin Schuweiler; Pauline Noble, Esther Moreau, and Esther Ludwig in non-humorous declamation, which was won by Esther Mo- leau. The five winners represented Stevens Point at the league contest which was held at Wis- consin Rapids on April 10. Esther Moreau placed first in serious declamation, Melvin Schuweiler was first in oratory, and Don Walker placed third in extemporaneous speaking. At the district contest, which was held at Central State Teachers ' college April 17, Es- ther Moreau won A rating in non-humorous declamation and Melvin Schuweiler, A rating in oratory. This placing in the A class won for Esther and Melvin the right to compete in the state contest at Madison, April 29. For the contest, Melvin Schuweiler wrote his own oration, Youth ' s Entreaty , with which he also entered the American Legion District Oratorical contest at Wausau, where he tied for first place. The number of people interested in forensics has unfortunately decreased rather than in- creased during the last two years. It is sin- cerely hoped, however, that more students will enter the forensic contests next year, since the value from them is so great. TOP ROW: Peterson, Moreau.

STATE TOURNAMENT Bringing new honors to our school in forensics, Esther Moreau and Mel- vin Schuweiler competed in the state forensic tournament, which was held at Madison on April 29.

CLUB The D.O.P.E. club, besides being one of the most active organizations in school, is one of the most democratic. No officers are elected, except for a secretary. Instead, a different boy is chosen to act as chairman for each meet- ing, and he is entitled to appoint necessary committees to work with him. This is all proof of the club ' s democracy. Evidence of the club ' s activity is shown in the number of enterprises made successful by the members ' cooperation. This year ' s Home- coming, the most successful in the school ' s history, was supervised by the D.O.P.E. club, which also exhibited one of the outstanding floats. The D.O.P.E. club assembly, on which the members worked during Christmas vaca- tion, was considered by many to be one of the best of the year. The club also gave a dance which drew a good crowd. Up to the time of the dance, Mr. McGuire had been the faculty adviser, but upon his accepting a position in another town, the club chose Mr. Vaughn as adviser and he carried on with all the competence of Mr. McGuire.

C J ' Pep GiiJpi The Girls ' Pep clubs eagerly resumed their activities early in the fall. Following the elec- tion of officers, new members were selected from the three upper classes. Qualifications for the new members were pep, loyalty, and cooperation. The purpose of the Pep clubs is to instill pep and enthusiasm into the student body and to support all school affairs, whether athletic, or otherwise. Both organizations, the Red and Black club and the Girls ' Pep club, were represented in acts at the annual Fair. A group of Pep club girls presented an original song and dance to the tune of The Turkey in the Straw. They were dressed in red and white checked far- merette outfits. The Red and Black club girls, dressed as cowgirls, gave an original dance to the music of Ragtime Cowboy Joe. Each week of the second semester, the Red and Black club sponsored a dance, and the Pep club sponsored ice cream bar sales, the proceeds of which were turned over to the school to help pay for the new stage scenery. The outstanding social events of the year were the formal dances sponsored by the clubs. Both were huge successes. The Pep club dance was held during the Thanksgiving holidays and the gymnasium was appropri- ately decorated with Pilgrims and turkeys. The Red and Black club dance was held just before St. Valentine ' s Day, so the gymnasium was decorated with red tissue paper valen- tines and red balloons. The programs were made of red suede cloth in the shape of a valentine. At Thanksgiving and Christmas time the girls gave donations for baskets of food and clothing which were given to needy families.

As Ger- man is offered as a two-year course at the P. J. Jacobs High school, it was felt that a club would provide opportunity for students of the German classes to become acquainted with each other and have good chances to use the language they were studying. The German club was of distinct education- al value, as German culture, German drama, and German folk songs were studied. In this way educational knowledge was presented in a very entertaining manner. The members of the German club also spent many social hours together. The club was active, too, in school activities, and, un- der the supervision of its adviser, Miss Dorothea Wolfe, teacher of German, it gave a very interesting pep assembly. The officers of the club for 1939-40 were: President . Vice-presidriit Secrefdrtj-Tri (isiir( r Ursula Hein Florence Flugaur Louise Literski yie tck CltJt. This year a new French club was formed under the direction of Miss Schultz. The club was open to all those who were taking French and to those who had had two years of this language. The meetings, which were held eve ry other Tuesday, provided a variety of programs, both educational and entertaining. Talks about French customs and history were given by the students. Frequently, members played French games and sang French songs. In addition to the after-school meetings, a Christmas party was held in the French room this year. Games and dancing were enjoyed by the members and refreshments were serv- ed later. The officers for this year were as follows: TOP ROW: Abraham, Gilman, Literski, Walter, Flugaur, Kraus.

Although La- tin is considered a dead language, today in our modern times, with higher education becoming increasingly more important, it is again finding its place. A Latin major is of- fered, as it is a four year course. There are five Latin classes — two first year classes, two second year classes, and one advanced class. Under the leadership of Miss Vera Schef- fner, teacher of Latin, the Latin club was again one of the most active in the school. A very interesting pep assembly was given by the club under the supervision of the club ' s adviser. The Latin club has always maintained its standing as an honorary organization be- cause scholarship is the first essential for eligibility. To be able to join the club, a stu- dent must be a member of a Latin class and have an average of 85 per cent in this study. Each year the Seniors who have been active members one year are presented pins. This year was no exception. There was the usual promising annual group of new members, who give every indication of carrying on the glorious tradition that is part of the Latin club. The aims of the club are to instill the ideals and ways of the Romans into the minds of Latin students, to stimulate interest in the La- tin language and the Roman people, and to show the practical value in taking Latin by emphasizing its everyday use. After informal initiation of new members they are formally received into the club with typical Roman ceremonies.

Members of the Senior bookkeeping class handled the banking, and during the second semester they began to train the Junior book- keepers. In this way the first-year bookkeep- ers learned the principles of the banking routines, so that in their Senior year they will be able to conduct all banking as efficiently as it was done by the class of 1940. In carry- ing out this plan, towards the end of the school year two Juniors worked with one Senior, thus replacing the previous two Sen- iors who had before taken care of all the banking. CASHIERS TOP ROW: Pasternacki, Bourn, Barlkowiak. BOTTOM ROW: Nye, Kostka, Kunde, Weltman, Gilson. Each day the banking window opened at 8 o ' clock in the morning and at 12:45 in the afternoon. Bulletins were put in the announce- ments once each week and these helped to remind the students of the valuable thrift lessons derived from saving money. Today the need for saving and correct budgeting cannot be over-emphasized. The cashiers urged the students to bank by declaring that Bank Day Is Every Day. To further promote thrift and banking, a beautiful purple and gold banner was given to the home room in which the most members availed themselves of banking facilities for the previous week. This was always an in- centive for the different home rooms, as pos- session of his banner was considered a dis- tinct honor. In addition to performing a very valuable service by maintaining the banking system, the cashiers also received a very thorough training in the various phases of work neces- sary in banking procedure. All of them rea- lized the absolute need for accuracy and ef- ficiency in the everyday banking routine of F. J. ' x.zJzz Hich school.

Under the leadership of a new commercial teacher, Miss Lucille Janz, the Commercial club enjoyed one of its most successful years. Not only was the club active in offering many interesting business sessions and in sponsor- ing social gatherings for the members, but it was also very prominent in all school activi- ties. In this club, students who ore enrolled in commercial courses ore able to learn about the different fields of work which they may choose to enter. To accomplish this end, various well-known Stevens Point business men spoke at different meetings and told about the opportunities offered in their in- dividual kinds of business. Because of the wide variety of topics chosen by the speakers, commercial students were able to learn about most of the types of work in business today. Thus the members gained knowledge about many new aspects of the occupations in the commercial world. Besides talks by local business representa- tives, the members of the club also took tours through some of the business firms and offices in the city. There they saw the funda- mentals of commercial work applied to ac- tual business situations. Everyone found these interesting, for many of the members themselves will probably be employed in these various business organizations after graduation. These tours are also excellent in- centives for the members, as trips of this kind always create much enthusiasm and interest in the commercial work at the high school. In addition to the very interesting business meetings, the club also held many entertain- ing social gatherings. Throughout the year various parties were given. Whether the set- ting for the party was out-of-doors at Iverson park or in school, all the participants always spent many pleasant hours together. All members were thus able to become very well acquainted with each other. The club was very popular with the students because of the social life and profitable business sessions offered to its members. The Commercial club took part in all major events during the school year and proved it was one of the most active clubs in P. J. Ja- cobs High school. A very interesting pep as- sembly was given by the group under the direction of Miss Janz, and the club entered a beautifully decorated float in the Homecom- ing parade. The happy mixture of business and social activities made the Commercial club a con- stant source of pleasure and educational guidance to its members interested in the commercial field. It truly gives the pupils a bird ' s eye view of what modem business is and demands. The officers were: President Vice-pr(si(lriit S cr( t(irii-Trt(isurcr .

This organiza- tion affords opportunity to the many who want to understand the ways of radio, to those who seek to become qualified for radio production, and to those who wish to increase their ap- preciation for listening to radio. In the whole sweep of public relations, ra- dio is the greatest single development of the times. P. J. Jacobs High school students have a great advantage over thousands of other high school students for they can participate in a regular half-hour program of their own each week over station WLBL. The members of the Radio guild voted to have no officers, oe the programs and practices take the place of meetings.

PAGE 38 Radio guild has taken part in several pro- grams. These weekly programs, which went on the air every Tuesday at 3:30, were carried on, with the exception of the help given by the band and the A Cappella choir, by Radio guild members alone. Each pro- gram had a variety of entertainment. During the year, dramatizations, educational and entertaining, quiz programs, and music were presented for the enjoyment of the Radio audience. The aims of this organization are: to pro- duce better appreciation of radio; to improve speech and diction; to give experience along dramatic as well as educational and mecha- nical lines. The Radio guild requires consistent and steady work, for as soon as one program, had been presented, plans were made and prac- tices were held for the next one. Thus the members are continually participating in the activities of their club. At the try-outs in the fall, 85 people com- peted for membership. The apprentices, who ore the promising material chosen from the Freshman and Sophomore classes, become regular members when they have reached a satisfactory level of achievement. Members are judged by voice, dramatic ability, and interest in the work. Miss Margaret Ryan is adviser for the Radio guild and much credit for its good work is due her. unati iC TOP ROV ; Razner, Orthman, Clark, B.

IbA i4naiic CJ44A The Dramatic club is one of the most bene- ficial clubs of the high school. It was or- ganized to meet the needs of those students of P. J. Jacobs High school who are interested in acting in and producing plays. Try-outs and initiations were held in the fall and at the beginning of the second se- mester. In the fall the new members w ere in- itiated at a wiener roast and picnic at Iverson park. Student judges presided over the try- outs in February, the results of which were celebrated with a sleigh-ride party. Member- ship is open to those who present the follow- ing qualifications: pleasing, resonant, carry- ing voice, dramatic ability, good stage pre- sence, correct posture, interest in dramatic work good facial expression, and ability to get on well with others. The purpose of the meetings, which are held twice a month, is to acquaint the students with plays and to add to their dra- matic ability. At each meeting a one-act play is presented by some of the members. The annual picnic was held at Iverson park in the spring, and the usual good time was enjoyed by all those present. This year the Dramatic club was asked to present a one-act play, Just a Trip, at the All-School Program which was held April 2 and 3. Under the direction of their adviser, Miss Abel, the play was a great success. The club also took care of the ushering and the ticket sales. Upon Bill Ritchay and Bill Diver depended the lighting and mechanical side of each stage production.

Social science teachers and students had long realized the need for a special club for extra study and discussion of world events, and it was with this aim that the new Social Science club, under the supervision of Mr. Petersen, was established. The club has certainly proved to all its real value as a supplement of the actual study in social science classes. At club meetings, as current events were the main interest, open forum discussions were held, led by the president, Melvin Schuweiler. In this way, all members were able to express themselves candidly and fully, and each topic was thus viewed in all its phases. In these discussions, problems of our own community, problems of national in- terest, and those of international concern were studied. In addition to these round-table talks, de- bates were also held. The subjects of the de- bates were of timely interest to all and were always very instructive and educational. The members also increased their ability in debate itself. Because of the quality of the various de- bates they attracted wide attention, too, from outsiders and non-members of the club. Another activity of the Social Science club which, incidentally, also captured the interest PAGE 40 of students not belonging to the club, was the appearance of guest speakers who came to various club meetings and gave very educa- tional worthwhile talks. As a result of the wide interest of the students in these guest speakers, members of the student body were invited to attend, as it was thought best to ex- tend the privilege of being able to hear the speakers to all students. Eligibility for membership in the Social Science club was not based on any particular scholastic standing, and anyone especially interested in studying current events was in- vited to join the club. However, the club rated high scholastically, as it was a direct benefit for all students of social science classes. Be- cause of the widespread interest in the Social Science club, an ever increasing number of students became desirous of becoming mem- bers. Under the able direction of Mr. Petersen, the club ' s initial year in P. J. Jacobs High school was a great success. The record of this year proves that in the future the Social Science club will become one of the important clubs in our school.

For two years now agriculture courses hove been offered to the high school students who wish to make farming their occupation. This year there were three classes, these classes making up a two-year-course. Next year it is expected that a four-year-course will be es- tablished. The F.F.A. is a club for young boys who are studying and are interested in agriculture. This is a national organization of farm boys, which has its own national constitution, em- blem, colors, and creed. There are several degrees which are conferred upon the boys as they advance, namely the Green Hand, the Future Farmer, the State Farmer, and the American Farmer. Under the direction of Mr. Hendrickson, the adviser, the F.F.A. has been very active this year. Among the interest- ing projects carried out were the treating of seed grain for the farm- ers of this locality, for which a charge was made by the boys, the treating of seed potatoes for the farmers, and the selling of seeds. Meetings of the club were held twice a month during home room periods. At the Wisconsin State Judging contest for agriculture students last summer, Stevens Point was well re- presented by 10 boys. These boys returned with some very fine awards. A parents ' and sons ' banquet was given in the spring of this year. Speakers were the national president of the F.F.A. and a repre- sentative from the University of Wisconsin. Last summer the boys took a trip, financed by the money made by treating the seed grain last year. In August the boys went by bus on a trip which included a tour through the State Game Farm at Poynette, through the capitol at Madison, through a packing plant down there, and then finally to the State Fair at Milwaukee. They plan to take another trip this summer or to camp at the F.F.A. ca- bin up north. A joint initiation of those boys from Athens, Stratford, and Stevens Point who were eligible for the Future Farmer degree was held at Stratford in the spring.

To meet the interests of such students a club was organized in order that these students might be taught more about radio. This club, under the direction of Mr. Hebal, has as its purpose the promotion of interest in the practical side of radio. The Radio club had many interesting business and social meetings this year, meeting twice a month. The members worked on theories and carried on many experiments in con- nection with radio. In addition, they repaired and built equipment with which to carry on their experimenting. Many discussions were held on the important phases of technical forms con- cerning proper operation of radio. Movies were shown and field trips were taken which prov- ed of great value to the members of the club. Radio problems were discussed and talks were given on radio theory and practice, the functions of the various parts of the radio receiver, amplifier, and transmitter. The officers of the radio club for the year 1939-40 were as follows; I ' rtxidciit ........ Henry Penar Vire-prfsidrnt ....... Jim Kampschoer GAuM. TOP ROW: Kolmski, Hedquis: .- ki, Mase, Gyrion, Blnskiewicz, LaBaige . The Surveyor ' s club was again organized this year under the direction of Mr. Vaughn and was open to anybody interested in its pursuits. The club ' s membership is composed chiefly of students especially interested in mathematics and civil engineering. This group of advanced mathematics students were able to put the general knowledge of their mathematical studies to use in the various projects they undertook. That the members of the Surveyor ' s club received much practical value from the organiza- tion cannot be doubted, as the students conducted many and varied expeditions throughout the city and the surrounding vicinity, putting to use the information they had secured at club meet- ings. The members laid out city lots and studied city platting. Besides these city projects, the students of higher mathematics also made contour maps of hills, completed surveying projects, and used their levels, transits, and other equipment. Iverson park was the site of these adven- tures in the members ' training. The officers were as follows: President ........ Ray LaBarge Vice-president ....... Ray Blaskey Secretnry-Treiisnrer ......

The Stamp club is organized for those stu- dents in the P. J. Jacobs High school who are interested in collecting stamps and learning about them. Mr. Kraus is the adviser of the club, which meets twice a month. To join this club, a student applies to the secretary and expresses his interest in stamps and his desire to become a member of the club. Then he pays the dues of 15c a semes- ter and receives a membership card. This year most of the students were new members and they were interested principally in mint stamps and first-day covers. Father Polaczyk, of Plover, a well-known stamp collector, is an honorary advisor of the club and helps the members. This year. Father Polaczyk continued his spirit of friendly inter- est in the club and made many stamps avai able to club members at face value.

The Senior Scouts is an organization for girls over fourteen years of age who wish to learn various social techniques which they do not already know. Troop 13, under the supervision of Miss Cunningham, is made up almost entirely of Sophomores. The activities of this group were threefold: one group specialized in photo- graphy, another in sewing, and a third in writing plays and making puppets. A bicycle hike, a sleigh ride, and a bird hike were among the year ' s outstanding events. The members of Troop 3, in charge of Miss Janz, are all Freshmen girls. The girls carried on community service work during the year. At Christmas they gave a basket to a poor family and at Easter made novelties for the trays at the hospital. The girls went on hikes, took up nature study, sewing, handicraft, and also had lessons in bridge, horseback riding, bowling, tennis, and first aid. A4 ua i 9 4uJz liJaitoii. jHetUfue. One of the most promising of the new clubs organized this year was the Junior Izaak Wal- ton league, directed by Harry Merrill and sponsored by the Portage county chapter of the Izaak Walton league of America. The object of the club is to create a greater interest in the conservation of natural re- sources. All members pledge t hemselves to be defenders of the woods, water, and wild life, and to protect and restore these gifts of nature. The club held semi-monthly meetings dur- ing the home room period and conducted out- side meetings in which the boys were shown various interesting movies. Trips to the state farm at Poynette and to the nursery at Nep- co Lake were taken by the club. One member, Donald Jacobson, was a delegate to the Na- tional Convention of the Izaak Walton league in Chicago where he reported on the work of the local club. The officers were: ' rrsklrnt . . .

Any room? | tlMc llitL MUSIC is well said to be the speech of angels, said Carlyle, and music is ex- pressed in many forms in P. J. Jacobs High school. Never before was the beauty of music so greatly appreciated by the student body as it was this year. Two organizations that added to the flash and color of the band were the Flag Swinging Squad and the Baton Twirling squad. The Flag Swinging squad was generously ap- plauded at the exhibitions at football games, and the movement of the colorful flags with the let- ters S.P. , W.R. , M. , R. , etc., represent- ing the various Wisconsin Valley schools in their appropriate colors, was impressive. Of no less importance was the Twirling squad, that attractive group of girls that caught the eye of many a spectator at football and basketball games. Their attractive uniforms contributed much to their appearance. The short, flared black skirts and the fitted red bellhop jackets with gold buttons portrayed the school colors splendidly. Leading the Homecoming parade in October, the girls added to the colorful picture presented by the various floats. The band ' s attempt to bring music to as large a number as possible in the school and com- munity was aided through soloists and ensemble groups performing at clubs, assemblies, and over the radio. The maintaining of the junior orchestra im- proved the ability of the senior players, since the new members obtained experience in orchestral work before entering the senior orchestra. On April 1 and 2, several interested men of Stevens Point presented a program Everybody ' s Here, in the Emerson school auditorium. The pro- ceeds went toward the fund for purchasing new uniforms for the senior band members. The Music Parents association sponsored candy sales dur- ing the year to add to this fund and to finance transportation to the tournament. This same or- ganization backed the annual Turkey Trot. This year it lasted two evenings, one night consisting of a concert and games of skill and the next night closing with a dance. In vocal music, this year has seen more de- velopment in solo and ensemble work than ever before. This is the first year a student has given an entire song recital alone. Shirlee Ann Emmons accomplished that feat. In the music room on March 12, she presented a vocal concert and marked a successful beginning of more of these concerts in the future. PAGE 46 J- A - ' ILMC Music is defined in this manner: The science and art of the rhythmic combination of tones, vocal or instrumental, embracing melody and harmony. And in mastering this science and art, the students of this school owe much of their success in the music world to Mr. Rehfeldt, Mr. Albrecht, and Miss Vet- ter. It is because of the guidance of these three instructors that P. J. Jacobs High school can be proud of its student musicians. Miss Dorothy Vetter, voice teacher, began her musical training in Northwestern Univer- sity, where she obtained a Bachelor of Music degree after her four years of study. A trip to Europe followed, where she studied, traveled, and attended concerts. At Vienna, she studied voice under Frau Professor Aszkanasi. Re- turning to the United States, she attended summer sessions at Northwestern and Colum- bia Universities, after which Frank La Forge in New York City was her voice instructor. During her study at Northwestern, she song in the A Cappella choir, directed by the late Peter Christian Lutkin. She was also a mem- ber of the A Cappella choir at Columbia uni- versity. Mr. Rehfeldt, band director, started the study of music of West High, Green Bay, as baritone soloist, first trombonist in the orches- tra, and as singer in the Men ' s Glee club, mixed chorus, and male octet. At Lawrence conservatory, he directed the pep band and was a member of the concert band, sym- phony orchestra, men ' s glee club, Schola Cantorum, and A Cappella choir. At Markesan, where he taught four years, he gained recognition for placements in na- tional band competition, and in two years at VETTER Voice ALBRECHT Orchestra REHFELDT Band Berlin, built a band from 12 to 120. In addi- tion to his successful band work at Stevens Point, he has inaugurated flagswinging and twirling ensembles and student pep songs. Mr. Albrecht, orchestra director, began his musical study at Lawrence College Conserva- tory of Music, where he majored in violin and orchestra, and received a Bachelor of Music degree. He spent one season in Chautauqua work as a violin soloist, traveling in the Mid- dle West. His studying continued with the eminent master, Sametrini, and Victor Kudzo, former assistant to Leopold Auer, teacher of Heifitz. Mr. Albrecht ' s ability, aided by his perse- verance, obtained for him a mastery of the violin and made him a fine orchestra leader. PAGE 47 oice Qyi iU. ' QJ,ee Cyli4A). a d J Cap [xella QJiaiA, Another musical organization that frequent- ly takes the spotlight in the P. J. Jacobs High school is the Girls ' Glee club. Trimly attired in black gowns with white collars, the 45 members appeared before an eager audience at the sixth annual Christmas concert. At many P. T. A. ' s, the club present- ed well received programs, and once during the year gave an assembly at the Emerson school. One of the most outstanding qualities of the members of the Girls ' Glee club, besides their singing ability, is their enthusiasm for their work. Many small groups of singers did ensemble work and some of these groups competed in the district music tournament in May. One group was the sextette consisting of Betty Steckel, Barbara Brewster, Jean Nye, Dorothy Ross, Ursula Hein, Louise Literski, and Marian Lawrence. Another group, part of which emerged from the Glee club, was that composed of the following Freshmen: Donna Rae Pett, Loretta Clark, Aideen Bowman, Shirley O ' Connor, Frederick Harriman, Howard Hetzer, George Koshollek, and Lynn Langton. These boys and girls showed much promise in their short musical careers. One that contributed much time and ability to the music department was Marian Law- rence. She is a fine pianist, and when no piano accompaniment was required, she sang with the rest of the girls. Many times this year, the A Cappella choir pleased large audiences with their golden- voiced sopranos, mellow tenors, and sonorous basses. Under the expert guidance of Miss Dorothy Vetter, this group, composed of 50 boys and girls, appeared at numerous school functions. At assemblies, with Shirlee Ann Emmons and Bill Steckel as soloists, the varied programs were well received. The choir appeared often on the radio, and each time were commended on their performances. Longfellow says that Music is the universal language of mankind, and the A Cappella choir handled this language very well. Certainly nothing could have been more impressive than the colorful Christmas con- cert, presented by the choir in the Emerson school auditorium. An echo effect in the Christmas carols was produced by having part of the choir in the balcony at the rear of the auditorium. At the end of the program, a living Christmas tree was formed on the stage. At Yuletide, the group walked through the halls of P. J. Jacobs high, caroling as they went. The Christmas spirit was enlivened in the classrooms by the faint strains of a carol, gradually increasing in volume as the carol- ers drew nearer each room. Either the triumphant joy of Hark! the Herald Angels Sing was rung out, or the soft melody of Silent Night greeted the ears of the students. After participating in the Lion ' s club con- cert at the college, the singers enjoyed a to- boggan party at Iverson park, with money earned by singing. Closing their activities of the year with a party at Waupaca, the A Cappella choir bade farewell to graduating members, while the under-classmen looked forward with eager anticipation to next year. At the beginning of the year, the A Cappella choir elected the following members to form an executive committee: Rosalie Klopotek, Don Becker, Dorothy Davidson, and Bob Jenkins. jitijtll ' iiixi TOP ROW: Ross, Lorbeck, Kraus, Ksionsk, Emery, Soule, Ruif, Steckel, Thayer, O ' Connor, Benn, Laszewski. 2ND ROW: L.

PAGE 49 Our band department enjoyed a record enrollment of 228 students this fall, over one half of whom are high school students. Fre- quent appearance of the senior band at as- semblies, parades, concerts, and at athletic events kept the members busy the entire year. Leading the annual Homecoming parade in the fall, the band began their appearances before the public. Because of the lack of suf- ficient transportation facilities, members were unable to go to Madison to attend the Wis- consin-Texas football game at which they were to be guests. Their services much in demand, this organ- ization of high school students took part in the local Centennial celebration and also traveled to Wisconsin Rapids where they put on a spectacular display at the Point-Rapids foot- ball game. A stunning effect was produced by the Twirling squad with colored balloons, the band members ' flashlights serving as the only lighting between the halves. The band then appeared at the Turkey Trot, a two-day affair sponsored by the Music Parents ' association. The first concert was held on November 21. One of the most anti- cipated assemblies held during the year was the one presented by the band. At this, Mr. Rehfeldt and the band pleased the audience with the variety of the program. PAGE 50 As soon as warmer weather arrived, the band began its intensive drilling for spring activities. First of these was the annual music festival held at Central State Teachers college on April 19, at which the band added to the beauty of the parade. At this festival, con- structive criticisms were given to the various musical organizations that participated. This helped them make improvements for the dis- trict tournament that followed shortly. On April 20, the band was host to a judges ' clinic, one of the two instrumental clinics held in the state. The climax came with the District Tourna- ment on May 3 and 4 at Wisconsin Rapids, where the band entered three contests, march- ing, playing, and sight-reading. An organization that prepares musicians for senior band work is the junior band. It is with eagerness that this group goes through its duties, their goal being to attain coveted po- sitions in the senior band. Developing their skill in every way possible they look forward to the day when musicians in the senior band will graduate, thus leaving an opening for a junior band member. This band appeared at concerts with the senior band and took part in the festival and tournament in the spring. Thus we close another successful year in band work, and the underclassmen can look forward to repeated success next year. r 1 f «.

This was followed by various appearances at assem- blies, radio programs, and at the band and orchestra concert held in March. On April 25, Guidance Day, the orchestra opened the assembly program with their tournament numbers. At the noon luncheon held for the speakers, a group of seven girls entertained the counselors by playing string music. This same group appeared at many different luncheons, P. T. A. ' s, and radio pro- grams during the year and was composed of Judy Graham, Yvonne Moreau, Marilyn Myers, Claire Roshak, Marie Saris, Jacqueline Stauber, and Margaret Winarski. Playing classical music, old favorites, and novelty numbers, the orchestra was much in demand and its popularity grew. Increased interest in orchestral work made the number of members grow to 45. Players that grad- uated last year were replaced by new mem- bers. Some of these had obtained experience in the junior orchestra and were ready to add to the ability of the veteran players. Participating in the annual spring festival at C. S. T. C. and at the music tournament at Wisconsin Rapids in May, the orchestra clos- ed a successful year of work.

These activities include a variety of exercise which help to develop coordina- tion and interpretation, as well as good stan- dards of living, such as right conduct, good health habits, and desirable character traits. In developing the physical education pro- gram, Sophomore girls took gym the first se- mester. During the nice weather in the fall they learned to play various soccer games and then advanced to speedball, a combina- tion of basketball and soccer. Throughout the semester, ballroom, folk, tap, and modern dance work was given on their rhythm day each Wednesday. On game day, relay races and organized games were played with much enthusiasm. One day a week was devoted to health. Posture tests w ere given in September and individual conferences were held. Corrective exercises along with Danish gymnastics were a part of the active health work. The Freshman girls enrolled in gym the second semester. They learned fundamental and advanced basketball techniques and had an interclass tournament. Tumbling achievement charts showed individual as well as class progress. Each squad created its own tumbling demonstration and presented it in a class program. In the spring, baseball and various track events were enjoyed out- doors. The Sophomore boys took gym every day in the new school. Every boy was required to take gym unless excused by Mr. Kraus. The boys played football and basketball. In basketball the classes were divided into teams and they played a Round robin schedule. The teams were given numbers and, to make it easy to distinguish between teams, one group wore colored shirts. The boys did some tumbling and marching, and they had relay races and games. They also played some kickball. When the weather permitted, the boys played soft ball outdoors. In the spring they had track, which included broad jump, high jump, and various races. All Freshman boys took gym in the Emer- son school. Their program was much like that of the Sophomores and included basket- ball, volleyball, Softball, relay races and games, marching, tumbling, pyramids, and boxing. The success of the physical education pro- gram was due to the unceasing efforts of Miss Simonsen, Mr. Ringdahl, and Mr. Krembs. PAGE 53 i;i y- ( - The thirteenth annual Gym Exhibit was pre- sented in the P. J. Jacobs gymnasium on January 24 and 25. A matinee was given on January 24 for all high school students, while on Thursday evening, January 25, the exhibit was given to a large group of parents and friends. The theme of the exhibition was Nations at Play. The program opened with an American tap dance given by the girls ' first hour class. They formed the letters S. P. The boys ' classes presented Danish gymnas- tics and marching. The third hour girls ' class played an American basketball game. Al- though girls ' basketball is not as fast a game as boys ' , it is very popular among girls and is thoroughly enjoyed by all who participate. The girls ' second period class took part in an interesting Hungarian rhythmic rope jumping drill. Rhythmic rope jumping is very difficult and requires steady practice and good coor- dination. They were followed by the boys of the Emerson school, who presented an appa- ratus demonstration as it would be done in an Germany. The little clown who performed with them showed unusual talent for this type of work. Color was added to the program by a pic- turesque Cuban dance, La Conga, danced by six couples in formal attire. A demonstra- tion of the popular English game, badminton, was given by four girls of the G.A.A. They were followed by two of the school ' s best known and most enjoyed entertainers, name- ly, Joe Whelihan and Bill Steckel. With Joe dressed in a formal gown, the boys presented a ballroom dance. The program was brought to a fitting close by the International Tumblers. They wore white suits with different colored sashes. From Japan came their stunts with balls and hoops; from Holland, revolving activities; from Germany, group precision work; from Spain, skilled individual stunts; and from the United States, speed events and pyramids. The exhibit was presented under the direction of Miss Simonsen, Mr. Ringdahl and Mr. Krembs. ti A d PAGE 54 A FOOTBALL TEAM TOP ROW: Schuweiler, Bartkowiak, Medlyn, Menzel, Derezinski.

However, to judge the team only by scores and standings of the Wisconsin Va lley Conference, would be wrong. The standings, which show a seasonal record of two victories, four defeats, and one tie, do not tell the whole story. In spite of the fact that he started the sea- son with an inexperienced line composed of boys who were mostly underclassmen. Head Coach Ringdahl, ably assisted by Coaches Bostad, Krembs, and McGuire, turned out a group of boys that gave a creditable show- ing in every game. They formed a team that fought all the way to the finish. Though not a title contender, the 1939 P. J. Jacobs High school football team was a credit to the school and the town. The defeats that were inflicted on Nekoosa and Rhinelander broke a losing streak that extended for 10 games back through the ' 38 season. The losses to Merrill, Wausau, Antigo and Rapids and the tie with Marshfield will be fuel for future re- venge. The material for 1940 appears promis- ing and, with many good men coming back, it looks as if Stevens Point football is headed for better days again. PAGE SS Pfiffner Ritchay Hansmann Stanchik Sliva Cammack Point Merrill 12 We opened the 1939 football season at Georke Park on the night of September 15. Our opponent was Merrill, which had a football club quick to take advantage of lucky-breaks. We kicked off and the season was under way. The game see- sawed back and forth in the field, with neither team being able to make much headway. Early in the second quarter a Point back fumbled and Merrill recovered. However the Point de- fense stiffened and they were unable to gain. When we got possession of the ball on downs we tried to punt out but it was blocked by English and Silver, their captain and their full- back, who fell on the ball across the goal. The extra point was missed and Merrill led 6-0. In the third quarter we had two punts in a row blocked and they scored on a fake place-kick by a pass, English to Belmens. Final score 12-0. For the home team Menzel, H. Moss, D. Moss, and Elliott were standouts. For Merrill, Silver and English were the mainstays. Point Marshfield Marshfield came to Point the following week determined to win. But they were no more determined than we. Although we had seven first downs to their six, they had more total yardage than we, having 134 to our 115 yards from scrimmage. Penal- ties cost us 55 yards and 30 yards for them. The game was close all the way, although neither team was able to penetrate the other ' s 20 yard line until the last part of the game. Once we worked a pass, Pfiffner to Don Moss, good for 30 yards but it was called back because of an offside. The game ended with Point battering at Marshfield ' s 10 yard line. Two passes and two attempts to run failed and the game ended in a scoreless tie. Point 6 Wausau 42 We went to Wausau to meet the future Wisconsin Valley champions. Everything that was said of their speed and tricki- ness was true. In the first half they scored 28 points with ease. The second half was much better than the first and we scored in the fourth quarter. The play that led to the touchdown was a 54 yard pass from Pfiffner to Don Moss. From there Pfiffner went over in two plunges from the 1 1 yard line for the first touchdown we scored during the season. The attempt for extra point was blocked. Wausau scored on the opening kickoff by running the ball back 82 yards on receiving the ball. All in all, five Wausau players scored points: Breitenfeldt, Hirsch, Russ Weinkauf, Liliquist and Don Weinkauff. Hirsch himself scored four touch- downs. Point 7 Nekoosa We scored our initial win of the season and our first win in two years at Nekoosa. In spite of the fact that the squad was weakened by the loss of Pfiffner, regular fullback, because of a shoulder injury. Point completely outplayed and over- whelmed Nekoosa. Scoring in the second quarter, the team was never able to push the ball across again. The drive started from midfield after an exchange of punts. Menzel passed to D. Moss for seven yards. From there a pass from Menzel to Hansman was ruled good because of interference. It was for 10 yards and another first down. Another pass, Menzel to Olingy, was com- pleted on the 1 7 yard line. Hansman picked up 1 1 yards by PAGE 56 Heln Lake smashing his way through the middle of the hne. Then on fourth down Hansman leaped over the line for the touchdown. Moss kicked the point and it was in the bag. Point 7 Rhinelander We continued our winning ways by a glorious 7-0 victory over the Hodags on our Homecoming. Bolstered by the return of Pfiffner to the squad and the backfield intact once more the attack functioned with precision and power. Only once did the Hodag ' Minnesota shift ' attack get inside our 20 yard line. Starting on our own 41 yard line, in rapid succession we reel- ed off yardage. Moss picked up seven and four, Hansman seven, Moss eight and seven, and McCann four and eight be- fore we were halted momentarily by a time out. At this point, Pfiffner, who had been taken out, came back in. On the first play he shot a short pass over the line to Steve Stanchik who bulled his way the remaining four yards for a touchdown. H. Moss kicked the point after, and we had won two in a row. The only Hodag threat came when they worked a lateral for a gain of 36 yards to our 19 yard line. However the Red and Black held and the threat was over. Outstanding for the Hodags was the backfield, consisting of O ' Malley, Marks and Dan- field. For Point, the players who stood out just ahead of the brilliant ploy of the whole team were Olingy, Hansman, Pfif- fner, Moss, and Bartkowiak. Jenkins Ivledlyn H. Moss Badten Point Antigo Menzel McCann Rejuvenated by two successive victories, the Red and Blaci; battled the Red Robins of Antigo for the greater part of the game. Antigo scored twice but it was a moral victory for Point. Two lapses let Antigo score. The first came when Franz, Antigo fullback, travelled to midfield. Then on the second play Eiter took the ball and lateralled to Turney, who ran 45 yards for the touchdown. Fisher kicked the extra point. In the second quarter came Point ' s best scoring threat. On a pass from Pfiffner to Hansman we went from our own 38 to Antigo ' s 32 yard line. On the next play Pfiffner fumbled, recovered, seem- ed to be trapped at midfield, and then threw a long pass to Helminski, who made a marvellous catch, on the 16 yard line. On a series of passes and plunges the Red and Black went to the six yard line, but there were stopped. In the fourth quarter Antigo scored on a lateral from Feomanich to Avery. The final score was 14-0 for Antigo but the Red and Black played one Theodoropoulos Hein j Season. Point Rapids 6 Kryshak D. Moss Point went to Rapids to carry on the feud. Although Rapids had a good team and Point had only an average team, the game promised to be one of the best. The game was even all the way, though, with first downs the same, four apiece. Point out-played Rapids the first half, having the ball in their terri- tory most of the time. In the second half, however. Point did not seem to have the pep it had shown at first. The break of the game came when Hansman fumbled on his own goal line, and a Rapids end, Amudson, recovered for the only score. Only once in the second half Point looked smart. When Ra- pids was pressing at our goal Derzinski intercepted a pass and Pfiffner quick-kicked 65 yards from Point ' s own 15 to Rapid ' s 25 yard line. Shortly after, Helminski was hurt and suffered a slight brain concussion. For Rapids the outstanding man was Knutson, All-Conference fullback.

Composed of veterans, it rated a good chance for the title. Point opened the season against Kaukauna, a team coached by Guy Krumm, a former C.S.T.C. athlete. The game started slow and Point led 9 to 5 at the end of the first quarter. Led by Menzel, Point stepped out to a 19 to 11 advantage at the half. The third quar- ter was a repetition of the first, Point having a small advantage over the Kaws. The fourth quarter Kaukauna staged a great rally good for 1 1 points while we were getting four. However the Red and Black staved off the rally and won 28 to 26. Menzel led the Point ' coring with 1 1 points. Point 35 Rhinelander 28 The mighty Hodags from the north came to Point to again attempt to crush us. But the Red and Black had a surprise for them. The Ho- dags brought a successor to Kotz in the per- son of Ray Warren, who scored 22 points against Rapids the week before. Led by Marks and Danfield, the visitors jumped away to a 6 to lead in the first few minutes. Point countered and the first quarter stood at 8 to 6 in favor of the Hodags. In the second quarter Point put on the pressure and scored 10 points to the Rhinos four to put us ahead at the half 16 to 14. The third quarter was close, but the fourth period Point couldn ' t be stopped and poured 13 points into the net. Menzel led the attack with 16 points. Hansman was next with nine. Point 3 1 Tomahawk 22 Point opened its conference season at Tomahawk with a win over the Hatch- ets. Led by Pfiffner in the first half and Menzel in the sec- ond. Point outplayed and outshot Toma- hawk consistently. h. i. ringdahl The third quarter al- most proved our undoing, for Tomahawk scored 1 1 points while holding us to six. Men- zel again showed that he was to be one of the best shots in the conference by piling up five baskets and a free throw for 1 1 points. Pfiffner followed with seven points on two baskets and three gift tosses. Point 31 Merrill 20 Point seeking its third win of the conference was host to Merrill. Point started off fast but slumped in the second and third quarters. Merrill rallied but the Red and Black spurted for 10 points in the final quarter to put the game on ice. Menzel again led the scoring with nine points, followed by Helminski and Pfiffner with six apiece. PAGE 59 r ' IT Jte. SeoAxuiX deca ' iJl Point 24 Antigo 22 Point travelled to Antigo to chalk up its fourth straight conference win. In the first half the Red and Black had no trouble at all. The Point team romped all over the Ants and led at the half 16 to 5. In the third quarter the Red Ro- bins held Point even but in the last quarter scored 12 points to our five. They came close to winning the ball game but the Red and Black came through. Point 20 Eau Claire 22 The Red and Black travelled to Eau Claire to meet the Old Abes in a non- conference battle. This game was the first lost by Point in six games. We led at the half 12 to 10 but Eau Claire rallied in the last half to eke out a victory. Menzel again led the Point scoring with eight points. Point 38 Alumni 35 During Christmas vacation the old grads came back to try to take the mea- sure of the ' 39- ' 40 squad. The grads were led by Rinka, Stien and Steckel. The Red and Black was led by Hansman and Menzel with 13 and nine points re- spectively. At the end of the regular playing time the score stood at 34 all. In the overtime the Alumni made a free throw and the Red and Black two baskets to make the final score 38 to 35. Point 34 Wisconsin Rapids 20 Point reopened its fight for honors by defeating its arch-rival, Rapids, on Monday, January 8. Starting off like a championship team we scored 1 1 points before they scored any. At the half the Red and Black led by the amaz- ing total of 21 to 8. The second half was more even, Point outscoring the visitors 13 to 12. Menzel, Hanna, Moss and Elliott led the scoring. Point 17 Marshiield 20 Point journeyed to Marshfield to attempt to gain its sixth straight win bui was met with disappointing defeat. We started off strong as usual but faded in the last half to go down to defeat by three points. Menzel led Point with nine points for over half our total. Point 33 Nekoosa 22 Nekoosa, in the cellar of the conference, came to Point with the intention of beating the Red and Black. For the first quarter they did. But for the next two quarters the Point team poured the leather through the basket for 22 points while holding them to eight. The final score was 33 to 22 in favor of Point. Menzel continued to lead the scoring with 12 points Point 34 Wausau 40 Point went north to Wausau to battle the Lumberjacks. This game eventually decided the second place position in the conference for us. The game was nip and tuck all the way through with never more than two points separating the two teams. Pevonka, Wausau ' s little guard, was the big gun for them, scoring 20 points. Pfiffner, playing the best game of his career, scored 14 points to lead the Red and Black. At the end of the third quarter Wausau led 37 to 32 by virtue of a last minute spurt. The fourth quarter was even. Point 24 Marshiield 2 1 Point avenged their first defeat by beating Marshfield 24 to 21. The score was tied at the half II to II. In the third quarter we gained a margin of five points and managed to hold it until nearly the end of the game when it was cut to three. The game was close and hard fought throughout. Hansman led the Point scoring with nine points. Point 22 Wisconsin Rapids 24 Point went to Rapids to encounter a vastly improved team. The Red and Black handled the ball well and were given many easy shots by a lax de- fense but could not put them in. Rapids, on the other hand, was hot and in spite of the fight came through. The score was 22 to 18 in the fourth quarter with two minutes to go. Rapids made a basket and two free tosses to tie the score. Then Ravis, Rapids ' guard, who hadn ' t made a point all evening sank a shot from the middle of the floor and that was the ball game. Helminski led Point scoring with eight points. t r JJte Se iAxi tX (lecoAxH Point 28 Nekoosa 12 Point went to Nekoosa to play the lowly Mingst men. Alternating the first and second strings by quarters Coach Ringdahl experimented with different combinations. The game was never in doubt and Nekoosa was held to three field goals and six free throws for a total of 12 points. Pfiffner had seven points for scoring honors. Point 26 Wausau 28 Wausau, Point ' s jinx team came down from the North to play for undisputed second place in the conference. Once again they proved to be bad luck, for the Red and Black couldn ' t penetrate in close to the basket. The score at the half was 16 to 16. The game was one of the closest and most exciting held here in a long time. Menzel and Hansman led Point scoring with 10 and nine points respectively. Point 26 Eau Claire 27 Playing their final home game of the year, the Red and Black played one of their worst games of the year. Weakened by the loss of Menzel in the first quarter, via the personal foul route, Point fought, but that was all. The preci- sion was lacking. Hansman led the scoring for Point with seven points. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT This year, in order to go to the State Tournament at Madison, Point had to win a regional tournament at the Rapids. Point 49 Wisconsin Rapids 31 Point played its best game of the season against its first opponent of the Rapids regional, Wisconsin Rapids. The team play was perfect, the precision and timing was to the split second. In some cases the Point players did things that even they themselves did not think they could do. After leading at the end of the first quarter 13 to 6 Point opened up in the second quarter and scored 15 points while holding Rapids to two free throws. We led at the half 28 to 8. From there on in it was a rout. It seemed as if the Red and Black couldn ' t miss. The Point defense lagged a little the second half and Rapids scored 23 points but the margin of victory was 18 points. Menzel, with 14 and Hansman, with 13, led the Point scoring. Point 27 Taylor 18 Point played Taylor, victor over Owen, in the second round of the regional. The Point players were tired and listless but they built up a nine point lead at the half, 14 to 5. In the third quarter Taylor rallied scoring eight points to our three to make the score 17 to 13. In the final quarter, however. Point woke up from its lethargy and scored 10 points to Taylor ' s five and won the game. Menzel and Pfiffner led the Point team in scoring with 11 points and 10 points, respectively. Point 23 Marshfield 24 Point played Marshfield for the championship of the Rapids regional. The score was 7 to 6 at the end of the first quarter and 13 to 12 in Marshfield ' s favor at the half. The second half was just as nip and tuck as the first, ending with a heart-breaking defeat for us. The Point squad was led by Pfiffner, who had seven points, and Menzel who had six. These were five seniors who finished their high school career. They were Pfiffner, Menzel, Badten, Hansman, and Moss. Of these, Pfiffner and Menzel were named on the all-tournament teams by two sports writers. The Point team received silver medals for second place.

Due to a late start, the team did not reach its peak until the end of the season. However, the team felt sure that with a two weeks ' earli- er start they would have gone through their schedule with several more wins. Through graduation last June, the team lost several valuable men. These included two first line members, three of the defense men, a goalie, and several of the second line. The only members of last year ' s squad reporting were Houck, Kabot, Medlyn, Olingy, and Schleis, all of whom, with the exception of Kabot, will gradua te. However, many members of last year ' s B squad and other new players made a good showing this year, and, with the excep- tion of Cammack, will return next year. These are Heitzinger, Lind, Menzel, Peltier, Phillips, Schoettel, Todd, and Zei. There was a Freshman hockey team this January 16 January 20 January 25 January 27 February 1 February 7 February 10 February 12 62 year which should supply the A squad with some valuable material for the next three years. More experienced players will also be forthcoming from the B squad, which was composed largely of underclass- men. In the game on February 7, the Wausau team, which won 58 consecutive games, was held scoreless for two and a half of the three periods by Stevens Point. Wausau finally managed to break through for three goals at the very end, to win 3 to 0. Nevertheless, the Wausau papers praised Point ' s playing, say- ing that it was the stiffest competition Wau- sau had come against this season. Ervin Houck, Point center, was given recog- nition throughout the valley when he made a goal in three seconds, the fastest time this year. He was also high scorer for Point this year, with Olingy, second. Coach Earl Hochtritt deserves much credit for his fine work with the team, and the boys are to be congratulated for doing their part so w ell. 1 1 2 1 2 1 2 HOCKEY SCORES Home Wausau 6 Point There Wisconsin Rapids 2 Point Home Wisconsin Rapids 3 Point Home Marshfield 4 Point There Waupaca 1 Point There Wausau 3 Point Home Waupaca Point There Marshfield Point TOP ROW: Cater, Mer- cian, Klasinski, Plas- key, Kruzinski, Hick- ey, Matkey, Wisniew- ski.

Jacobs High school, just as it has in other nearby schools, and all the credit is due Coach Krembs. Four years ago he inaugu- rated boxing in the local school, and since then, due to his efforts, it has become one of the most popular sports. This year, over 50 candidates turned out, hoping to win a place on the squad. How- ever, only about 15 survived the inter-squad fights, and those 15 were the ones who made the trips to other schools and fought at home. Due to a curtailed schedule this year, the team disbanded before the Tattler went to the printers, and we are able to give a resume of the entire season. Although the team lost three and tied one of their encounters, they improved with each fight, and many under-classmen gained valu- able experience. The local battlers got off to a bad start at Portage by losing 9V2 to IV2. Steen Olson, the only winner for Point, will be back for two more years of fighting for dear old P. J. Jacobs high. The team then lost a close one at Marion by a score of 51 2 to V , and tied Mer- rill the following week, 5 to 5. The final fight of the year at Wittenburg was lost 5 to 2. Such stars as Klasinski, Slaski, Ksionsk, For- mella, Merdan, Hickey, Cater, and Plaskey will graduate this year, but Olson, Matkey, Simonis, Washatka, Fritchler, and Wisniewski are some of the more promising under-class- men. Although they lost a majority of their fights, the boys enjoyed them and so did the large audiences that attended. WINNERS OF BOXING MATCHES PORTAGE: Sleen Olson.

Blessed with a wealth of material and letter men Coach Bostad looked for a good season. However, on May 6, a catastrophe struck the squad. Thirteen of the players, including such stalwarts as Kulas, Helminski, Derzinski, and McCann were declared ineligible for further competition this year. This came as a result of their being participants in amateur leagues of the county the day before. The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association forbids any participation in any outside team. In spite of this we know that Coach Bostad will replace them and will produce a team that will be a credit to the school. The first game, with the original squad was played at Wausau. Ray Kulas pitched fine 3 hit ball but was given inadequate support by his teammates and we lost 3 to 2. Bad wea- ther rained out two games and the next game was against Mosinee at Stevens Point. Play- ing with an entirely new team which had had no time to practice together Point tied Mosinee 7 to 7 in eight innings. Outstanding perfor- mance for Point was given by Ed Kardack, Point ' s pitcher who hurled a six-hitter and slammed out two doubles and a triple. The triple came with the bags loaded. At this writing it looks as if the weather will permit the finishing of the schedule. A list of the players left includes: Bennett, Ray Lee, Goetz, Kardack, Kubisiak, Waldherr, Nye, Zynda, Elliott, Lukasavage, Bandow, Schultz, Bob Lee, LaBarge, Paysa, Dineen, A. Hansman and Mayer. i iLtai4tiita I ih A4 CVi AAe lfJicdif ' ' KREMBS For five years intramural basketball has been one of the leading sports in the Stevens Point Institute of Higher Learning; and for five years Mr. Krembs has been the man to make it a success. Although it hasn ' t been the chief sport in attendance or in popular in- terest, it has been in participation; for it is in- tramural basketball that gives almost 50 boys, those who are interested in basketball but are on neither the Freshman team nor on the A or B squad, a chance to engage in a competitive sport outside of school hours. But intramural basketball benefited more than the players; many exciting games gave entertainment to large crowds of spectators. This year, to make room for an ever increas- ing number of participants. Coach Krembs in- augurated the flyweight league to supple- ment the heavyweight and lightweight divi- sions. The heavyweight section is for boys over 130 pounds, while the new flyweight league is for fellows under 108 pounds. The lightweights must obviously be between 108 and 130 pounds. The intramural season got under way when the candidates met to form teams. Fox Kulas, Jenkins, Fleet, Domaszek, and Bennett, heavyweights; Cychosz, Dehlinger, Larson, Zei, Kulick, and Nye, lightweights; and Fry- mark, Kalina, Brown, and Zylka, flyweights, were chosen captains in their respective leagues, and in turn chose their teams, com- posed of seven other players. Then two rounds of games were played by each league, every team playing every other team. The heavyweights ployed on Monday evenings, the lightweights on Wednesday, and the fly- weights on Wednesday afternoons. The heavyweight division was largely dominated by the Bears, who won all of their games. However, they came within just a few points of losing several times, and not many of the games were one-sided. The Ramblers and The Smokey Five tied for second place in the first round; but in the second round, the All Stars, who took third place in the first round, copped second, and the Ramblers got third. Competition was keener in the lightweight division, with a different team taking first place in each ro md. In the first half. The Furious Five won all their games to cinch first place, with the Red Devils and the Blaz- ing Quints tied for second, and the Zephyrs in third. However, in the second half, the Blazing Quints hit their stride to make every game a win, forcing the Furious Five to second, with the Phantoms in third. This made a playoff necessary, and this was won by the Blazing Quints with the score 23 to 15. In the flyweight section there were only four teams, so three rounds of three games each were played. The Scatterbrains captur- ed first place in the first round, with the Blackhawks in second and the Flying Eagles in third. In the second round the Blackhawks took first position, the Flying Eagles second, and the Scatterbrains third. The third round saw the Flying Eagles in first place, the Scat- terbrains in second, and the Blackhawks third. The Powerhouse Gang managed to hold fourth place in all rounds. The three-way tie for first place made a playoff necessary. In the playoff, the Flying Eagles drew a bye, and the Scatterbrains, defeating the Black- hawks, went on to beat the Flying Eagles for the championship. During the playoffs, the Powerhouse Gang, the only team not compet- ing, had a chance to reconnoiter. With the exception of the graduating seniors, all the boys who played this year are looking forward to another big year. f £ Ati ' ui4fU4AxU ialketLali Lightweight League FIRST ROUND Furious Five Red Devils .

The Girls ' Athletic association feels that this has been a very successful year. Girls from all classes were eligible for membership and there were 110 active members. The Tumbling club began its activities in September. A large group of girls turned out and many difficult acrobatic stunts were mas- tered. The climax of the year was the girls ' performance at the annual Gym Exhibit. In the fall, fieldball was held for all Sopho- more and Junior girls. This game was intro- duced into our school three years ago and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who like a vigorous outdoor game. It is a combination of soccer and basketball. G. A. A. OFFICERS 1939-40 I ' rcsideiit . . . Jeanette Levi Vice-prrsidi III . Jane Orthman See. and Trias. . . Marguerite Crummey In the spring and fall all the girls who wish- ed to develop their skill in archery turned out for this sport. There were many fine shoot- ers and several girls hit the bull ' s eye . The most popular activity of the G. A. A. was the creative dance class. During the win- ter the girls met once a week and learned the fundamental forms of locomotion, such as skips, leaps, gallops, walks, and runs done in various combinations. Then the girls were taught several tango steps which they put into combinations created by their group. Follow- ing the basketball season, the class met twice a week until the end of the school year.

The G.A.A. girls were also very active socially. In October the school sponsored an evening per- formance of the famous Ted Shawn dancers and the G.A.A. girls took charge of the publicity and acted as ushers at the dance program. On December 8, they sponsored an assembly with Chuck Fenske, world famous runner, as guest speaker. The president, Jeanette Levi, introduced Chuck , a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, who gave an interesting talk on his ex- periences in Europe as a member of the American Amateur Athletic Track team. At the close of the assembly the student body filed out of the gym exit and movies were taken for the showing of Life in Stevens Point at a local theater. In the afternoon Mr. Fenske spoke to several of the history classes. At Christmas time the girls held a Kid ' s party. Everyone came dressed as a little boy or girl. As each girl entered she received a line of a nursey rhyme and when the rhymes were put together each team was complete. Games were played and the winners were presented prizes by Santa Claus. Re- freshments were served and then dancing was enjoy- ed by all. Sixteen of the most active Junior and Senior members of the G. A. A. represented Stevens Point High school at the Annual Play Day given by C. S. T. C. on May 11. They participated in the various team games with members of 10 other neighboring high school teams. In this way they had the op- portunity of making friends and playing games with other G. A. A. members. To bring the year to a joyous ending a Scavenger Hunt was held. The girls were divided into teams and various objects were sought by each group. Prizes and refreshments were the climax of the hunt which ended at Iverson park. Other winter activities included volleyball and badminton. The girls interested in volleyball met each Thursday and played games in the Emerson school gymnasium. A demonstration of badminton was presented at the gym exhibit, but because of lack of funds to purchase equipment, it could not be offered to all. The baseball tournament was held during May with twelve teams taking part. Many close and ex- citing games were played on the school baseball diamond. As in the basketball tournament, first and second place winners were honored. Many enthusiastic girls participated in the tennis tournament which was held in the late spring. A round robin schedule was followed and the win- ner was presented a G.A.A. award. RAYETTES TOP ROW: Entzminger, Courtney, Stimm. BOTTOM ROW: Schnecfc. Rilchay, Anderson, Brooks.

It is only possible to earn a maximum of 75 points per year in unorganized activities such as hiking, skating, skiing, etc. For all activities spon- sored by the G. A. A., five points per hour are given. The high-light of the girls ' athletic season was the annual basketball tournament which took place in the latter part of March and early April. Any ■girls who wished to participate in the tournament chose teams consisting of eight girls; then each team elected a captain and chose a name. These nine teams participated: TEAMS 4D ' s, 4B ' s . Bee Bets Snowbirds . Green Peppers . Hoosier Hot Shots Jumping Jives Basket Babes Rayettes Anythings . CAPTAINS Velma Jacobson Judy Graham Hilda Simonis Yvonne Moreau Lorraine Razner Evelyn Theodoropolous Ethel Anne Lawrence Bette Rae Ritchoy Jean Fisher A series of practice games was played to give the ■girls a chance to develop their team work. The games were held in both the old Emerson High school and the P. J. Jacobs High school gyms. No more than three girls who had played together last year could be on the same team this year. This made the teams more evenly divided. Then the schedule was made and the tournament was begun. All the teams that won their first games played for first and second places, while those who lost played in the consolation tournament. All the girls played their best and the games were very exciting. The elimination contests continued until Hilda Simonis ' Snowbirds proved themselves to be the champions. This team, which was made up of Freshmen and Sophomores, was awarded gold med- als. A close second place was won by Ethel Anne Lawrence ' s Basket Babes, who were presented silver medals.

We owe the advantages that we have had to the conscientious efforts of the Board of Education. For the past several years, edu- cation in Stevens Point has progressed rapid- ly. The Board has kept in stride with new educational policies and has provided the most modern facilities for the carrying out of these policies. It has always encouraged a democratic and liberal form of education by promoting self- ( aiLCution government and initiative in students. All of this has been manifested by our Student Council, our home room system, student directed dances, and by many other activities. The Class of 1940 wishes to express its appreciation to the Board of Education for providing such excellent opportunities for us. We are proud to graduate from an education- al system such as we have in Stevens Point, and we know that having had the training that has been ours through this system, we shall be successful in whatever fields of en- deavor we may choose to enter.

The members of the Class of 1940 have grown into early maturity at a time that is most critical in the life of most of the peoples of the world. We trust that each one will go on to school or into some occupation deeply mindful of the obligation to parents and to the citizens of this state and community who have made this background of training and prepa- ration possible. You have our best wishes and hopes for your success and prosperity in whatever the future may bring to you. P. M. VINCENT, Superintendent. Congratulations, seniors. As you read this you will hove joined the large fraternity of high school alumni that has graduated from the Stevens Point High school. Many of you will go on with your education by attending colleges and universities; others will attend special schools, and still another group, the largest, will go into domestic service, the trades, and industries. Regardless of the aim, be ready and willing to respond with the optimism you had while here. Remember that you are prepared to become socially useful in the community. You can do this only by accepting graciously and willingly the tasks set before you. Be ever mindful of the fact that the world continues in a state of unrest and that you ore singularly fortunate in being an American, where the constitutional rights were formulated by We the People and not they, the dictators .

Home Economics QA4.ida It is to Mrs. Pfiffner that we owe the success of many interesting and educational activities that take place in our school. She is always ready to cooperate with anyone who is promoting an act for the interest of the student body or for the betterment of any student organization. The students know Mrs. Pfiffner not just as Dean of Girls and an Ameri- can History teacher but as a personal friend. Her sympa- thetic understanding of young people makes her popular. Through her work as Dean of Girls she has established helpful matron service for all high school girls. For this we thank her whole heartedly. For many girls Mrs. Pfiffner finds part time work so that they may continue their educa- tion even though their means are limited. Through the school ' s active Vocational Guidance pro- gram, which she directs, she guides us in choosing a suita- ble vocation. This year, as part of the guidance work, she engaged speakers who gave interested students an insight into the requirements and specifica- tions of their chosen fields. From January to April, Stevens Point business and professional men and women spoke to students about various vocations in which they were engaged. As a cli- max to this program, Counseling Day was held on April 25. On this day over 35 speakers re- presenting as many different vocations and schools in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota took part in a program which gave the Juniors and Seniors the best possible chance to choose the vo- cation or school which they expect to enter after high school. This Counseling Day was the first attempt of this kind in our school, and it was most successful. Mrs. Pfiffner also guides the program of our Home Room system. The activities in the Junior and Sen ior home rooms closely follow the vocational guidance outline. The Freshman and Sophomore home rooms are concerned with questions of orientation, safety, etiquette, and the study of state and city government. As an adviser to the Student Council, Mrs. Pfiffner has helped to create a closer relation- ship between the administration and the students. IVIRS. PFIFFNER Oj lce The offices play a very important part in the every day life of both the students and the faculty of the P. J. Jacobs High school. In the principal ' s office, program cards and report cards are made out and filed, and records are kept of the grades of all the stu- dents. In past years, the attendance was taken care of in this office, but this year a special department was provided under the direction of Mr. Somers. However, Mr. Kraus, Miss Margaret Mason, his secretary, and the office assistants are kept busy plan- ning activities for the welfare of the students. If it were not for the friendly spirit of service and cooperation of the office force, our school would not be so well managed. We should be very grateful that the office force is so efficient and willing to help us. In the superintendent ' s office, the same spirit of cooperation is maintained. Miss Irene Zam- zow, the secretary to Superintendent P. M. Vincent, is in charge of selling books to high school, as well as to grade school, students and selling school supplies. With the help of Miss Sadie Riley, the visiting teacher of Stevens Point, the correspondence and records are taken care of. In addition to this, all the work of the N.Y.A. students is handled in this office. This N.Y.A. work is a very important part of school life and many students take advantage of this opportunity to earn money for their education. It is indeed to our advantage that our offices are so well regu- lated. MISS MASON MISS ZAMZOW PAGE 82 CLa OJj 19- 0 COOPER ■.MITH lENKINS 4 : ::X ECKELS ROMAN COOPER President BILL SMITH Vice-President BOB IENKINS Secretary PHYLLIS ECKELS Treasurer Roman Cooper, Bill Smith, Bob Jenkins, and Phyllis Eckels were chosen to lead the Senior class of 1940. Roman Cooper, elected president, was an officer in his Junior year also; Bill Smith, vice-president, proved him- self to be a leader in many of the clubs; the class chose Bob Jenkins as secretary in both his Sophomore and Senior year. Phyllis Eckels was elected treasurer. Melvin Schuweiler, who was active in many sports and in debate and dramatics, led the class in a very successful Junior year in 1939. Those who assisted him were Roman Cooper, vice-president, Jane Orthman, secre- tary, and Virginia Lou Clark, treasurer. As underclassmen the class chose Frank Steckel as president during both Sophomore and Freshman years. Other officers presiding during the Sophomore year were Zita Klein, vice-president. Bob Jenkins, secretary, and Patricia Precourt, treasurer. Virginia Ann Clark, Pat Bennett, and Ben Doughty were chosen as vice-president, secretary, and trea- surer, respectively, as pre- siding officers of their Fresh- man year. By their Sophomore year, members of this class had shown their abilities by par- ticipation in most of the events around school. The Junior year was very eventful. To begin with, there were many on the football squad who were always out fighting and who were in- strumental in leading the team on. Also, this class was instrumental in starting the Student Council, Police commission, and Monitors club. Much of the success of these organizations can be credited to this class. The Junior class play was a huge success. The cast of the play, Beginner ' s Luck , was made up of a large and talented group. It was under the very fine direction of Miss Abel. Probably the most outstanding event of that year, as usual, was the Junior Prom. It was led by Melvin Schuweiler, president of the class, and his queen, Alice Worzalla. They were followed by the rest of the Junior class officers, the Senior officers and members of the Prom committees. Everyone had a grand time and all agreed that it was one of the best Proms ever. This class came back stronger than ever in their senior year. Many of the boys again showed their abilities in sports when they spent quite a successful season in football and basketball. Although hockey, boxing and the intra-mural sports weren ' t quite so well known, there was some fine talent shown there. The scholastic ability of the Seniors is also outstand- ing, as is shown by their membership in the largest National Honor society ever elected in this school. When the members of this class graduate and go out to at- tain goals which they have set for themselves, it is felt that they will easily reach that goal, for they have proved themselves worthy during the past four years.

PAGE 102 )u LLu Ol 19- 1 ELLIOTT SOMERS SARB The Junior class chose Pat Elliott, Don Somers, Elmer Sarb, and Jean Doolittle to lead their class this year. Pat Elliott, a star basket-ball player and also one of the leading football players, made a very impressive president and Prom King. Don Somers served again as vice-president, as he did in his Sophomore year. Elmer Sarb was chosen as secretary, and Jean Doolittle, who has shown herself worthy by her work in clubs, was chosen as treasurer. As Sophomores, this class had chosen Don Walker, president, Don Somers, vice-presi- dent, Antoinette Martini, secretary, and George Frost, treasurer. The leaders of this class during the Fresh- man year were Joseph Kraus, president, Edith Domack, vice-president, Betty Ascher, secretary ,and Joseph Hein, treasurer. In their Sophomore year they showed much spirit in both scholastic and extra-curricular activities. They again met at a class party which all enjoyed. Many of the members of the football and basketball squads were re- presentatives of this class. There were a few boys, who, although they weren ' t all active in sports, were full of pep and organized the Bat Roost club which presented several peppy assemblies throughout the year. During the past year the height of all the talents of this class was reached in all ac- tivities. Several Juniors were active on the football squad as well as the basketball squad and as a result are looking forward to a successful season in both sports next year. PAT ELLIOTT President ; ON SOMERS Vice-President ELMER SARB Secretary lEAN DOOLITTLE Treasurer DOOLITTLE The house was filled for this year ' s Junior class play, Growing Pains . This comedy brought many laughs and brought forth much hidden talent. It is expected that a play which will be quite as successful will be pre- sented by this class in their senior year. The Junior Prom, which was held March 29, earlier than usual, was the outstanding event of the present year. The decorations, although they were limited because of the immensity of the gymnasim, were beautiful. They repre- sented the theme of the prom, which was The Starlit Hour. The prom committees spent much time on this dance and it is ex- pected that it will not soon be forgotten. Several of the members from this class were active on the debate squad both this and last year. They were only runners-up at the tournament this year, but with more practice they are expected to be winners next year. The forensic meet found repre- sentatives from this class, also. The class advis- ers were Miss Ethelwyn B a e r- waldt. Miss Ann DeBase, Miss Lu- cille Janz, and Fred Hebal. The forensic meet found repre- sentatives from this class, also.

ZL la j 1942 ROBERT LEE President HENRIETTA PREHN Vice-President lOHN MASE Secretary RAY BECKER Treasurer LEE MASE BECKER Rob Lee, Henrietta Prehn, John Mase, and Ray Becker were chosen as officers of the 1940 Sophomore class. They were chosen as president, vice-president, secretary, and trea- surer, respectively. Rob Lee, one of those handsome twins, proved that he had the approval of the rest of the class, for he was elected as treasurer in his Freshman year. Henrietta Prehn did her share to make this present year a successful one for the Sophomores. John Mase and Ray Becker are two promising young men and much is expected of them as upperclassmen. Those who made names for themselves by representing the class during their Freshman year in 1939 were Ed Soik, president, Pat Weller, vice-president, Marilyn Davis, secre- tary, and Robert Lee, treasurer. This class is distinctive in the fact that it was the first Freshman class to enter the new P. J. Jacobs High school. During the past year they really began showing their stuff . There have been some discoveries from this class within the last two years in many fields. Al- though some of the football members from the Sopho- more class were small in size they were long on abili- ty. There are a number of fine players who will make the varsity team within the next year. A few exception- al fellows have already made the A ' ' squad. When Freshmen, their basketball squad was a runner-up in the conference. Og All of the boys showed fine spirit and a very sportsmanlike attitude throughout this and last year ' s season. Many of the same boys made up the B squad this year and some of these fellows will be out helping the var- sity win games next year. There were many discoveries in the drama- tic field also. Much interest was shown by the large turnout at tryouts for dramatic club. All Sophomore candidates were good and some were exceptional. Although very few of the boys have shown their dramatic ability, it is felt that this talent will be brought out as up- per-classmen. Some of our future newspaper men are beginning their work on the schoolpaper, The Mirror . When they take up positions on the Tattler staff, we are sure they will publish a book worthy of the school. These folks are also born leaders. The student council representatives of this class do justice to their class and are already help- ing with some of the major issues of the school. Don ' t get the idea that this class is affected only with the society bug — every mem- ber of it does justice to his report card. A large group will surely be joining the National Honor society and Commercial club next year. Many already belong to the Latin club. Science club. Photography club. Radio club, and the Social Science club. PAGE 109 o TOP PICTURE TOP ROW: Miss Anderson (Adviser), L. Literski. B. Nelson, J. Luiz, D. Orlikowski, M. Nugent, E. Miskoski, C. Trickey. L. Vlodik.

Confucius say that this class surely does look promising. These Freshmen must be smart (especially the girls) when they pick out handsome men like Jack Adrian as president. Bill Feigleson, vice-president, and Bernie LaBarge, treasurer, to led them. The boys did all right too when they picked out a girl like Aideen Bowman as secretary. For the first few weeks, these Freshies were in the dark, but by the end of the year they seemed to get around just as well as the sophisticated Seniors. They were rather mys- tified by the new and strange building and some were sent to the wrong places several times by upperclassmen. The Seniors will really be missing some- thing when they graduate and leave the Freshmen. Several of the young folks of this class have been seen at both the social and scholastic events of the school. A grand time was had by all at the Freshman party given during the early spring season. One might have thought that he had seen the original Rogers and Astaire to watch some of the dancers. Not much of their dramatic talent has been shown yet, but it ' s sure to show up by next year. However, some of their musical talent, both vocal and instrumental, has been brought forth. This class has really proved itself to be one of outstanding ability. Many of the leaders of the Freshman class were leaders in their grade schools. The Sophomores and Juniors had better watch themselves and their power for the next two years or this class will be taking it all away, for it certainly has already shown its ability to do so. Some of the best assemblies of the year were put on by the Freshmen. They were even minus the stage fright which is so prevalent among groups of upper-classmen. Many of the Radio Guild programs were given by the apprentices who were largely from the Freshman class. Some of these same folks entered the forensic contest. As usual there were many out for Fresh- man football and basketball. Congratulations are due both squads for the fine work they did during a the past year. More power to them when they represent  -v ii y the school on the A squad j { within a few years. The faculty advisers who helped this class to get on its feet were Miss Cunning- ham, Mrs. Week, and Mr. Brady. !3i. 0=A r r TOP PICTURE TOP ROW: M. Sherman, B. Staeger. B. Taylor, A. Treder, R.
