The boom, boom, boom of the guns. The yell of Extra by the newsboy and cry of War, War. It is with an accompani- ment such as this that we graduate. Let us not allow Remember Pearl Harbor to blot out the happy memories of our last school year. Let history record the former, while we record the pleasant events of our high school life. It is to insure a permanent remembrance of these days that we pre- sent to you this book — Your Tattler. The Senior Class of 1942 Fall. The smoky smell of bonfires fills the air and the crisp, tangy air pro- vides a delightful change from the heat of summer. Leaves rustle beneath your feet as you walk along. Sept. 9 — Today the freshmen met for the first time as a class. At an as- sembly held in the morning, they were assured that there were no ele- vators in the school; likewise no fourth floor.

May 28 — With mixed looks of hap- piness and sorrow, the seniors marched up to receive their diplo- mas. Farewell! 14 % m @ - c X t ' u ticaiion The nation ' s defense and war efforts have re- emphasized to the Board of Education the impor- tance of our high schools. Today, good classroom work pays immediate dividends. The War is requir- ing young people to do big things with a minimum of time for preparation. Efficiency and thoroughness cannot be gained in a short time unless you have acquired good study habits and are in good physi- cal condition. A nation at war cannot wait for its high school graduates to travel the long road of hard knocks. It must rely on those who can take immediate advantage of the experience and train- ing of others, which must be secured from books and manuals and from instructors. In the military forces, in defense industry factories, and in govern- ment service the basic high school courses in Eng- lish, science, mathematics, industrial arts, commer- cial subjects and many others will enable our stu- dents to do a better job for Uncle Sam. l Ictiipczsluv First Ward N.

You have participated in the making of History. Some are already in uniform or in other branches of government service. All have witnessed the great cloud of war blacken the western sky and each one is ready and willing to do his or her share to maintain, for those, in the classes to follow, the privileges of freedom and democracy that are our most precious possessions. We trust that the school has, in some measure, helped each one build a foun- dation and background that will prove a sus- taining force in meeting the problems and dif- ficulties that lie ahead. P.

It was much like any other Friday —the last day of the school week and we looked forward to the rest afforded by that week-end. How different Monday, December 8. The United States hctd declared war. Sud- denly all of you grasped the significance of the war — for now WE were at war. We realize the immensity of the war by recollecting that in May, 1940 there were 230,- 000 men in the United States Army. 1941 the figure was near 1,700,000 and, Secretary of War Stimson, announced that 1,900,000 men would be called during 1942. Before the year 1942 is over all men between the ages of 18 and 64 will be registered. Yes, graduates, it is a serious business. To preserve peace one must pay a heavy price. From all indications, the United States, today, as in the past, is ready and willing to pay that price. We are imbued with the thought that, If our United States is not worth fighting for, then it is not worth living for . Let ' s continue our loyalty, our cooperation, our sincerity of purpose, and we will emerge victorious from this great World War II. JOSEPH F. KRAUS First public appearance, Ap- pleton, Wis. . .

Since the officers were elec ted last May, they were able to take charge immediately and the Student Council lost no time in beginning the work which lay before it. The officers were: President Jay Normington Vice President Ursula Hein Secretary Fred Harriman Treasurer Pat Courtney One of the first duties of the new presi- dent was to appoint the members of the stand- ing committees. The Executive Committee was composed of the four officers and Willard Sivley, Marjorie Stimm, and Bob Cashin. Its duty is to plan the meetings of the Council so that the Council can accomplish more in a shorter time. The most important accomplish- ment of the Social Committee was the arrange- ment of the days for the meetings of the various clubs. In the past, some clubs were faced with the problem of having their meeting days on the same dates as those of other clubs. This conflict is now prevented. Under the chairman- s hip of Erwin Kitzrow, the Assembly Board ar- ranged to have an assembly nearly every Friday. Thanks to this fine committee we have had more and better assemblies this year than ever before. When the election of class officers was held in October, an idea new to this school was inaugurated. Each class held a meeting during which each candidate was expected to give a short speech. This enabled the students to get acquainted with their candidates and to better their judgment in selection of officers. It proved especially helpful to the freshmen. The vice-president of the Student Council was chairman of these meetings and the elections were under the supervision of the Council. In October, members selected by the Council again attended the State Student Coun- cil Convention accompanied by the advisor, Miss Ullman. Those who represented Stevens Point were: Jay Normington, Fred Harriman, Marjorie Stimm, Willard Sivley, and Shirley OFFICERS Fred Harriman, Ursula Hein, Jay Normington, Pat Courtney O ' Connor. They returned with many new ideas and a better understanding of the duties and functions of a student council such as ours. A three-day class in parliamentary pro- cedure was conducted by Mr. Kraus for the benefit of Council members, club and class presidents, and home room presidents. They received long needed instruction in the cor- rect manner to conduct meetings and all the why ' s and wherefore ' s of proper procedure. The result was more orderly meetings for all organizations. During the regional debate tournament held here, members of the Student Council acted as guides and conducted a check room for the convenience of the visitors. The guides answered questions, directed the debators and coaches, delivered and collected the ballots, posted the results, and served as hosts and hostesses. A dance was sponsored by the Social Committee during the noon hour. At present, the Council is working on a handbook which will contain information use- ful to the freshmen and new students. It will tell them about clubs, courses open to them, how to dress suitably, and most important of all, how to handle those things known as up- perclassmen. Special credit must be given Miss Ullman who so competently served as advisor of this group. 20 zz s liiXciil C ciincil L siiuiullcc.i Executive Committee Jay Normington Ursula Hein Fred Harriman Pat Courtney Marjorie Stimm Willard Sivley Bob Cashin Social Committee Ursula Hein Henrietta Prehn Dick Becker Donald Clark Bonny Gableson Assembly Board Erwin Kitzrow Harold Weiss Yvonne Moreau Jack Malick Ann Zimmer FIRST SEMESTER TOP ROW— Fritschler.

The cadets are divided in- to two patrols, each consisting of a captain, two lieutenants, and thirteen other boys. The patrols are on duty on alternate weeks. With the help and guidance of Mr. Ban- nach, a six-man commission governs the ca- dets. The following officers were elected at the first meeting of the year: President, Joe Fry- mark; vice-president, Allen Barrows; secretary- treasurer, Norman Dineen. The other members of the commission are Tom Felker, Neil Wor- den, and Dick Becker. Rain, snow, wind, or sunshine, these faithful cadets can be seen standing at their posts. They are prepared for all kinds of weather. In rainy weather the cadet is protect- ed by a yellow raincoat and hat which can be seen and recognized from a distance by the drivers of cars. When it snows the cadet wears dark heavy clothes with their familiar white Sam Brown belts over them which makes them unusually visible. When the temperature is 22 TOP ROW — Felker, Reed, Hawley, Kadzielawski, Nyberg, Timmer, Gregor BOTTOM ROW— La Barge, Warbelton, Komasa, Burrnet, Graff. Bentley out freezing the cadets are still on duty. They al- ternate from the school and are on duty for a few minutes at a time. These student police cadets also have a post to serve at football and basketball games. They assist at parades and other events when ever called upon. The maintenance of a student police court is an important part of the cadet system. Students committing an infraction of any of the Cadet Laws are brought before the court. Penalties are hours in detention, the number varying with the nature of the offense. November 14 was the date of the fourth annual Police Cadet dance. As no subject was chosen as a theme, as is the custom for our other dances, the idea of law and order was carried out in the decorations. The last event of the year and the one most enjoyed by the cadets is the annual pic- nic. All the cadets in the city, three hundred strong, are invited. These cadets are rewarded for their faith- ful service at an honor night held at the close of the school year. Outstanding cadets are awarded badges and plaques. 23 tots U liib TOP ROW— Caler, Pavlik THIRD ROW — Grencer. Goder, Zeaman. Gruber, DuCharme. Waller, Martens, Hope, Phelan, Blackman.

Kaszubski, Lewis, Wisniewski, Kubisiak, Ross, Olski Under the guidance of Miss Maude Marsh the Monitors ' Club has completed another suc- cessful year. Members of this club were chosen from the junior and senior classes by the facul- ty- This club was organized soon after school opened and began to function at once. Officers elected were: president, Ruth Phelan; vice- president, Albert Grencer; secretary-treasurer, Margaret Lewis. There are twenty-four regular monitors in all. Four are stationed throughout the halls in various parts of the building each period. Their chief duty is to maintain order in the corridors. Each student who walks through the halls dur- ing class time is required to present a hall pass which was obtained from his teacher. If a stu- dent does not possess a pass he is reported to the office. Other duties of the monitors are to act as receptionists to visitors, assist teachers and the office by performing errands. Besides the monitors serving in the halls, a system of stationing girl monitors in the ma- tron ' s room, for the purpose of administrating first-aid each period was successfully estab- lished this year. The Monitors ' Club presented a novel Valentine assembly to arouse pep for the Point vs. Nekoosa basketball game. Four kindergarten Cupids aided the monitors in presenting this assembly. As there were no regularly scheduled meeting dates, meetings were held subject to call of the president or advisor. This club dis- played a fine spirit of cooperation and initia- tive and proved a credit to the school. 24 v o . Tn the V. J. Jacobs High School three years of English are compulsory, while the fourth year is elective. The course in English includes literature, composition, and grammar, each one of which might be considered a separate sub- ject. The aim of the teachers is to give the work which will be of practical help in daily life; to speak and write effectively in a clear and socially useful fashion; to read with various purposes, for information and entertainment. Through instruction and practice in the funda- mental processes the pupil gains certain habits and skills. He learns to reason, to talk correct- ly, to write intelligently, and to search for and organize material that he may need. An extensive reading program outside of the regular class room is carried on. Pupils are urged to read both fiction and non-fiction books that are interesting to them and that are at their age level. This year the department of English sponsored a book-of-the-month club. In the first semester seven hundred and twenty new books were purchased by six hundred and twelve pupils at an average cost of twenty-three cents per pupil. The books were taken from the list recommended by the National Council of Teachers of English. At the time of the Red Cross drive each student in every English class wrote an essay on the subject What the Red Cross Means to You as a class room assignment. The first prize, a ten dollar defense saving ' s stamp was won by Katherine Hope, a junior. Five dollars in defense saving ' s stamps as a second prize Elhel Baerwalt, Ethel MacDonald, Zilphia Krembs, Marguerite Smith, Florence Kostecki, Margaret Ryan, Marion Wilson was awarded to Dorothy Wisniewski, a senior. Other winners were Jack Jayne, a senior, three dollars; Delores Preston, a senior, two dollars; Joyce Diver, a senior, June Olson, a sopho- more, Jeanne Schlies and Arlene Koshollek, freshmen, and Tom Raabe, a junior, one dollar each. These prizes were donated by the Lulla- bye Furniture Company to arouse interest in the local Red Cross Drive. To encourage creative writing, the depart- ment of English publishes a book called The Firefly. Each teacher contributes the best crea- tive writing which her students have done as a regular class assignment during the year. The students are very proud to have their stories, essays, book reviews, and poems in this book. This year, with the cooperation of the Art Department, the book has a very attractive cover which was made by a student in an art class. As in former years, the typing was done in the Office Practice Class, and the printing by the students in the print shop. I- 25 Upon opening this book you noticed a clock, a clock which ticked away the minutes thai make up this year. The purpose of this Tattler is to keep those minutes safely tucked away out of the reach of forgetfulness. Since high school life naturally falls into the two di- visions, Work and Play, we have divided our book in that way. The calendar in which we have incorporated copy and illustrative photos will combine the two sections. In the two division pages you will find Associate Editor BETTY CHARLESWORTH Editor HENRIETTA PREHN something new as far as Tattlers are con- cerned, photomantage. Then, a little farther on as another new feature, we have given you an insight into the deep dark pasts of our head men. We have tried to make our copy the kind you like to read. There are more informal pictures of both students and teachers. We have devoted every available space to the most entertaining feature of any annual, the cartoon. For the first time in many y ears the covers of this book are in our school cclors, red and black. In the Work section are included the var- ious departments with the clubs and organiza- tions connected with them. Individual pictures of the seniors and juniors, and group photos of the sophomores and freshmen follow. Above the senior panels, you find pictures and write- ups about members of the class of 1942 who are outstanding in some field ranging from music to athletics. The two pages showing the accomplishments of the graduating class through picture and paragraph are another added feature. Continuing our amble through the pages of this book we come upon the Play section. This division will bring back the most pleas- ant memories of all. We have given things a different twist by grouping individual pictures of our football heros about an action shot. The basketball section is handled in the same way. So that each game stands out more clearly and distinctly, we have included a thumb-nail de- scription of each basketball and football game. We regret that several activities such as baseball, track, and the senior ball could not be included in this year ' s Tattler. Due to the early dismissal of school it was necessary to have the copy at the printer ' s before the open- ing of the season of these activities. Due to the mid-year graduation of many of its members the staff was decreased in num- ber. Much credit must be given to the remain- ing members for their willing cooperation in taking on added duties because of this.

Positions on the Mirror staff are open to any student, regardless of class. The only qualifications necessary are ability to write and willingness to work. This newspa- per work offers valuable experience to the stu- dents. The Mirror staff this year set a record by publishing a paper every two weeks. When the call was made for students interested in helping to make their school paper a success, the results were most gratifying. After a few copies had been edited, the number was re- duced to the size of a workable staff. The co- operation and interest of the staff was some- thing to be marveled at. The members of the staff learned the dif- ferent types of stories, how to recognize news, how to write up a story in an interesting style, how to sell advertising, and how to approach people for interviews. Much of the success of the Mirror is due to the business men of Stevens Point who again came through with their support, making it possible to distribute the paper free of charge to the students. The Mirror has no other source of revenue except that received from advertis- ing. Mr. Speerstra was the editorial and me- Editor CARMEN BROOKS Associate Editor DOHOTHY ROSS chanical advisor of the Mirror this year. Under his supervision, members of the advanced printing class put in many hours after school and on Saturdays in order to insure publica- tion every two weeks. Although the print shop was rushed at times with more work than they could possibly do, nevertheless, they put other things aside when an issue of the Mirror was due. Through the mid-year graduation of Car- men Brooks, the editor, and Dorothy Ross, the assistant editor and advertising manager, the Mirror was at quite a disadvantage the second semester, but it was published regardless of these handicaps. ■ -.-- 28 ittct hi A 9 Zi ai HP H 1 IWI I P ■- m Mm. ; ' ■ TOP ROW — Swenson.

A. Speerstra 29 Cu For those students who have dramatic ability, or are interested in some other phase of play production, the P. J. Jacobs High School has organized a dramatic club, known by that name. The purpose of the club is to aid those students so inclined m developing to the full- est possible extent their present ability. New members are received into the club twice a year, at the begin- ning of each semester. Before being accepted as members of the Drama- tic Club, the applicants are required to pass preliminary tryouts. At this time each one is judged separately on the basis of enunciation, voice, resonance, acting ability, interpre- tation, and facial expression. All students who fulfill all the require- ments are invited to join and be- come regular members. Under the constant supervision of its most capable advisor, Miss Dorothea Wolfe, the Dramatic Club has become a very popular club with all the students. This year the Dramatic Club again entered into the state one-act play contest. The name of the play which they presented was Prize Money. At the district contest held at the Cen- tral State Teachers College, Stevens Point was given an A rating which enabled them to par- ticipate in the state contest at Madison where they received a C rating. As another project for the year, the club is now preparing to present a three act play on March 5, entitled The Late Christopher Bean. The club presents a play each year, and by the splendid way • C in which the play has been progress- ing, we contemplate that it will be a great success. Miss Wolfe is also director of the junior and the senior class plays. Meetings of the Dramatic Club are held every first and third Mon- day of each month. At the club meetings students often present one- act plays and at other times some members will do some research on a very famous play or playwright, and present it as a topic to the rest of the club. In this way the members become better ac- quainted with the dramatic world.

Diver, Moreau 30 mA - d U iuidCJ yy y EVELYN SCHULTZ Two years of French are offered in the P. J. Jacobs High School and are open to sopho- mores, juniors and seniors. Since students in this country have little opportunity to speak French, emphasis i s on their learning to read French. Work the first year is on pronuncia- tion, grammar, simple conversation, and easy reading. Along with the short stories there are stories in French about French history and ci- vilization. The second year is given over al- most entirely to reading — reading of short stories by well known French authors, a short play and a full length long play, a novel, and articles on French history. There are people who wonder, now that France has lost the importance she once had in the world, why we should continue the study of French in the schools. Most educators agree that it would be a pity to throw out French be- cause for over three hundred years France has had a tremendous influence on the world in arts, sciences, and fashions. For good or for bad, our own culture and civilization has bor- rowed extensively from the French, so a study of our own civilization necessitates a study of France. The best way to study a country and its people is through its language. If a student can study only one modern foreign language, most people would suggest French, for French still has the status of an international language so that it is the one that students would find the most useful and practical. VERA SCHEFFNER Our high school offers many majors among which can be found only one in a foreign language and that is Latin. There are two first year and two second year classes and one advanced class. During the first year the student studies the grammatical forms and principles of the language and masters its pronunciation. In addition to this the student meets the Roman as he lived in his own civili- zation and through this contact greatly en- enhances his own cultural background. The main feature of the second year of Latin is the reading of the Commentaries by Caesar which constitute the second semester ' s work — the first semester was spent on review of gram- mar and the reading of short stories which fur- ther acquaints the student with the life of these early Romans. The advanced class studied the essays, letters, and speeches of Cicero, through which a clearer understanding of our own civilization today is secured. As an added feature this year the works of other ancient poets and philosophers were read. The third and fourth year Latin classes are combined, hence, Cicero is read one year while the next year the students read the works of Virgil from whom all our literature today has radiated. Thus a student completing the four year Latin course becomes acquainted with the writings of three of Rome ' s greatest men; namely Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil, and leaves high school with a broad vision and a highly developed power of intellect. 31 ' ten cli K liw TOP ROW — Kujawa, Trickey, Bulmer, Sivley, Johnson, Burch, Hawley, Menzel, Cassidy.

Membership in this language organi- zation is restricted to those students who have completed the French course or who are studying French at present. Miss Schultz is the adviser. The French Club gives students an opportunity to supplement the regular classroom work in an interesting manner. French customs, habits, amusements, his- tory, and culture are among the subjects discussed. There are four offices in this organi- zation: president, vice-president, secre- tary, and treasurer. Formerly the office of secretary-treasurer was combined, but this year the separate office of treasurer was established. Also, in other years, of- fe fices were limited to advanced students only; now the treasurer is elected from the first year French class. In this way begin- ning students are given an opportunity to hold an office and gain experience for the following year. A program schedule for the year with various committees in charge at each meeting is made out in advance by the vice-president. This enables students to plan their programs ahead and more in- teresting and informative meetings result. Among the outstanding meetings was the Christmas party. French games were played, French songs were sung, and re- freshments were served. Another meeting which the members especially enjoyed had as its main feature slides depicting French scenes. An informal note pervades all gatherings of Le Cercle Francois. The second Tuesday of every month is the scheduled date for the French Club to convene.

Rulf The Latin Club, or Latinum Circu- luh , of the P. J. Jacobs High School is or- ganized for the express purpose of arous- ing an interest in Latin and of teaching the Latin students the importance of the Latin language by illustrating its wide uses and practicality in modern everyday living. The club carries on during the school year under the guidance of its very able advisor, Miss Vera Scheffner. It is one of the most active and most popular clubs in the high school. The membership is limited to fifty, and it is conducted on a scholastic basis. All students must main- tain an 85 per cent average to qualify for membership. Students achieving an A average for their first year of Latin be- come honorary members in May of their freshman year. At this time a banquet is held. At the banquet, the seniors who have been active members in the Latin club for one year are presented pins. Officers Imperator Terrill Menzel Senior Consul .... Eunice Ann Kraus Junior Consul Jack Malik Praetor Ellen Zieper Scribe Frederick Harriman Aediles Katherine Hope Joan Kurtzweil In the fall of the year the honorary members automatically become regular members, and again new members are taken in who meet with all the qualifica- tions heretofore mentioned. All candidates are required to go through a formal and informal initiation. However, at this time no banquet is held. As a probable project for this year, the Latin club is now considering the possibility of producing a play to be pre- sented shortly after Easter. The Merca- tor has thus far been suggested. Students, upon dropping Latin, are immediately dropped from the club. Each September officers of the Latin club are elected by secret ballot. 33 ouiuietcta I Frances Arnold, Allen Bostad. Elhel Sutor, Hazel Calkins. Lucille Janz Today more than ever before, the Com- mercial Department and its work is playing an important role in preparing young people for the business world and careers. Of the seven courses offered to students in this department, typing is the most popular. Typing skill can be used personally, as well as commercially. The shorthand, bookkeeping, and business training classes, however, play their parts in preparation for business prob- lems. A fairly new course in the department is office practice; it is limited to advanced typing students who meet set requirements. In this class clerical work is done and the girls be- come acquainted with actual business prob- lems and work. Incentives to do better work in the typing and shorthand classes are the awards given for outstanding work in speed and accuracy tests. Typing awards are usually pins, obtained in speed tests, with a limited number of errors. The Gregg certifi- cates in shorthand are much sought by the future steno- graphers; the certificates are earned by speed tests, meet- ing certain requirements. Each year advanced stu- dents carrying commercial subjects are in- terested in a tour through the Hardware Mu- tual Insurance Company. This firm employs many graduates of our school. The tour gives the classes an opportunity to see the modern business world at work. COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club is organized as a social society. Its membership is limited to juniors and seniors who carry at least two commercial subjects with an average of 85 or above. Outstanding activities of the year were a get together party at Iverson Lodge and a tour through the Lullabye Furniture Company. Officers were: President, Ramona Skal- ski; Vice-president, Nadine Zeaman; Secretary- treasurer, Lillian Patoka; Advisor, Miss Arnold.

Subjects taught in this department pertain to both former and contemporary problems of the United States and the rest of the world. They are so arranged that the student develops a broader understanding of social, economic, religious, and geographic situations of the world. These courses are especially interesting because they delve into the past and present, the origin, and the development of world prob- lems. The subjects offered in this department are: world history, American history, econo- mics, social problems, and geography. One year of American history is a required credit for graduation. For the student, American history is a review of the history taught in the elementary schools. Miss Dorothea Wolfe and Miss Mary Ullman are the teachers of Ameri- can history. World history, under Miss Rice has proved to be a very interesting subject. Included in the course of study is the complete history of the world from the beginning up to the present day — the people, their laws, types of government and wars of the various nations. The study of geography is another branch of this department. The geography offered deals with the territories and possessions of the United States and the world in general. Since the United States entered the second world war the geography classes have undertaken spe- cial projects pertaining to the conflict so that the students will better understand the situa- tion. Miss Madeline Rice is also in charge of the geography classes. There is an advanced social science course which is open to seniors. This course in- cludes one semester of economics and one semester of social problems. Economics is the study of man ' s wants and how he has secured them since the beginning of time. The study of social problems deals with the study of the social difficulties against which man has had to strive and ultimately overcome for the welfare and preservation of his race. Mr. Henry Bannach is the instructor of these advanced classes. Visual education plays an important part in the study of social science. On the average, one movie a week is presented to the classes. The subjects of these movies pertain either to the material being taught or deal with contem- porary problems in relation to the nation ' s war effort. The radio, a special addition to the de- partment, also has contributed much toward making these courses interesting by keeping the classes informed of the latest current events. It is through studying the problems of yesterday that the world obstacles of tomorrow may be overcome. This fact is well recognized by the administration of the school. Therefore it has been decided that next year a course in economics and social problems will be com- pulsory. 35 LCllCC In step with industry of today the schools of America must be able to prepare youth for the tremendous task with which it is faced. Scientific skill is demanded to produce vital defense materials. Defense factories, munitions plants, as- sembly plants are all maintained and improv- ed for their important work by men trained and proficient in science and mathematics. Every year the field of industry expands and those who are well-trained have unending op- portunities for advancement. Many of the professions require a back- ground of science information that may well be obtained in high school science courses such as we have access to here. Along with mathematics, science is highly desirable in most of the industrial occupations that now go into our defense effort. We live under conditions that have been created by the efforts of scientific workers. Our domforts and conveniences are grgatly im- proved through their efforts. The course of study in science provides for every student in his four years of high school to come in contact with one general science and one specialized science with others elective according to need and interest. Visual education plays an important part in the science department of the P. J. Jacobs High School. During the year several movies are shown every month. These movies deal with various scientific topics or pertain to the units which are being studied. The science courses open to students in our high school begin with general science. This is a required subject for freshmen and in- cludes the fundamentals of science. It is taught by Mr. Hebal, Mr. McDonald, Mr. Hager, and Miss Owen. Biology, under Miss Park, is an elective sophomore subject. They learn about plant and animal life and the growth of each. Each class has a Biology Club within it. These clubs spend extra time solving the mysteries of what makes a frog jump and what makes a worm squirm. In either their junior or senior year stu- dents must take one of three sciences: chem- istry, physics, or senior science. They may choose either or both of the remaining two as an elective subject if they so wish. These are taught by Mr. Hebal, Mr. Kuhl, and Mr. Stenzel. Special interest clubs include photography under Mr. Kuhl, and radio under Mr. Hebal. Next year both of these will become semester courses with full credit.

CU This year, the club was actively progres- sive in the study and practice of the Morse Code. Liberties — receiving and transmitting to cities outside Stevens Point — granted in the earlier part of this school year, were later dis- continued because of governmental restrictions concerning the operation of amateur radio sets. With these privileges taken away, the boys then continued their efforts with the Morse Code and the art of handling the mike. The club can also be thanked for their creditable work in handling the technical part of the assemblies. The officers are: president, Bob Broten; vice president, Bob Kampschoer; and secretary-treasurer, Bob Detert. 37 Maude Marsh, Hassell Vaughn. Ray- mond Hager, Sam Moreau, Winifred Coyle Freshman Mathematics General Mathematics is required of all freshmen — this is the one credit in mathema- tics required for high school graduation. General Mathematics is an exploratory course — that is, the young student is introduced to many new concepts and becomes better acquainted with many old ones. The freshman year in math is also a natural guidance period. If the beginning student is successful in this introductory course, he can be assured that he will meet with equal success in the more advanced mathematics or allied subjects, i.e., physics. If, however, the student finds general mathematics difficult, and his attendance has been regular and efforts reasonable, then he is advised not to attempt to study further into math or the allied fields. This course has been taught by Miss Marsh, Miss Coyle, Miss Owen, Mr. Moreau, Mr. Hager, and Mr. Vaughn. Sophomore Mathematics Algebra is an elective course in mathema- tics, open to those freshman who have com- pleted general mathematics successfully. Algebra is the first of the formal courses in mathematics taught in P. J. Jacobs High School. Any student deciding to study algebra should have in mind the study of geometry. All students planning on college entrance (col- leges and universities require these two cre- dits for unrestricted entrance) should begin al- gebra in the sophomore year. This course is taught by Miss Marsh, Miss Coyle, and Mr. Vaughn. Junior Mathematics Geometry is an elec tive course in mathe- matics, open to those students who have com- pleted algebra successfully. All students planning on college entrance, and especially girls planning on entering nurs- ing schools, are warned to get their geometry credit here. Geometry is taught by Miss Marsh and Mr. Moreau. Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry Advanced algebra and trigonometry are senior subjects. This is a one year course open to students who have completed algebra and geometry. All students who plan to enter advanced study in any science, mechanics, or engineering are urged to select this course while you are among friends . This course is taught by Mr. Moreau. Throughout the year, both in and out of class, the mathematics teachers try to make their courses alive and interesting by mak- ing the work as near to life as possible. The student must remember, however, that high school mathematics is limited to simple basic material — much like the young musician learn- ing to play the scales. The Slide Rule and Surveyors ' Club are two organizations the young mathematician may join for profit and fun. 38 The purpose of teaching art is to help people to derive pleasure from the act of see- ing, to know the exhilaration that comes from the act of creating something, and to enjoy the independence that comes with the ability to make one ' s own decisions in all matters in which art qualities are concerned. In the art class we help people to see, to create, and to appreciate. The art classes are open to all who are interested regardless of previous training, since the classes are arranged at various levels of ability. Interest is the most important pre- requisite. The Student Workshop in our school is available to all students as well as art stu- dents. Here the necessary equipment, signs, decorations are created for all student activities and all departments in our school freely come for help with advanced art students supervising the job. In the art field, the offerings of the workshop are varied in keeping with a wide range of individual students interests. The art department deserves much praise and thanks for its able work for the Junior Prom and the Senior Ball. EMMA SMITH V 39 ELIZABETH MOE Jjkaxi 1 This year our spacious, well-equipped library, which is conveniently located between two study halls, was used extensively by the students for reference work and free reading. Two red leather chairs added to the attrac- tiveness of the room and to the comfort of the students. Approximately 88 students were assigned to the library each period, and in addition to these, students were allowed to come from their study halls for the pur- pose of obtaining reference material. The library was also open after school. In 1939, a plan which provided for rural students to take advantage of the facilities of the library during the noon hour was devised. This plan has been successfully carried on since that time. At that time, too, another system which was used this year was originated. One faculty member was placed in charge of the library each period to assist the head librarian, Mrs. Elizabeth Moe, so that she could de- vote more of her time to the reference work of the stu- dents. The shelves of the large L shaped room are well- stocked with books of fiction, reference material, encyclo- pediae, et cetera. Each year a number of new books is added to the assemblage. This year, in keeping with con- temporary events, a large part of the 327 new books added to the library during the first semester dealt with life in the various branches of the service. Students in- terested in entering the army or navy found the books very helpful. These interesting bocks contained illustra- tive material on the lives of recruits and presented many useful suggestions. This year the library also subscribed to 88 instructive and worth-while periodicals as well as five newspapers. 40 1 i h°l The high school orchestra has been doing some fine work this year. It has played for numerous public audiences and the music was enjoyed immensely. Among the many activities in which the orchestra participated are the following: fall concert, the junior class play, senior class play, the Christmas concerts at the P. J. Jacobs ' audi- torium and at the Emerson auditorium, the an- nual district music tournament, and the com- mencement exercises. Besides the above, the orchestra also participated in the school as- semblies, which were appreciated by the stu- dents. Another active body joined with the school orchestra is the String Ensemble. The members are: Adolph Kielpinski, Lynn Langton, Dean Meacham, Dorothy Roshak, Lenora Zam- zow, Orelia Lester and Claire Roshak. The music played by the orchestra is of a light, semi-classical mood. It specializes in the string section which is well adapted to just such a colorful mood of music. Mr. Albrecht is the director and instructor.

Sixteen bands irom Wisconsin competed in the maneuvering at the Stock Pa- vilion in the morning and were guests at the Wisconsin-Syracuse football game in the after- noon. The band did its part by playing the foot- ball and basketball teams on to victory at every home game. During the football season, they packed up their instruments and were off to the most exciting game of the year. It was at the Rapids. The two bands did joint maneu- vers between the halves of the game and show- ed the spectators a very colorful performance in their red and black uniforms. The annual band assembly was held in January. The concert included numbers that were played at the festival and tournament. On March 26, another concert was held in the gymnasium to finance a trip to Milwau- kee that was taken by eight of the band stu- dents. Five hundred people attended this con- cert which was given by four bands, Begin- ners ' band, Grade School band, Junior band, and the Senior band. A beautiful American flag was presented to them by the Women ' s Auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. As a result of the concert, these eight stu- dents had the opportunity to play in the All- State Band from March 29 to April 2. Three and one half days were spent in rehearsing and then the band, consisting of two hundred young musicians, from forty eight Wisconsin cities, played before twelve thousand people. Two weeks previous to their trip to Mil- waukee, these same band students went to Oshkosh to play in a mass band under the direction of Mr. Frank Simon. The District Tournament was held here in the P. J. Jacobs High School on two different dates, April 1 1 and May 2. The solo and en- semble contest was April 1 1 , and the concert, marching, and sight reading contests were May 2. Twenty two bands took part in both events. The theme of the evening program on May 2 was, Unity in the Americas through Music . The bands that participated in this pro- gram played either North, South or Central American selections. The annual Spring Festival given by the Central State Teachers College was held on April 18. Over twenty bands made a very colorful parade. The addition of the Grade School band has made more work for Mr. Rehfeldt, but he believes that it will improve the Senior band. His work this year has been greatly appre- ciated. 42 lllt i tie (j ani J tiiiX rct.unncl CLARINETS Francis Perron Erwin Kitzrow Bonnie Bell Evelyn Syczesny Robert Larson Winifred Berndt Nyle Gaertel Carol Trickey Chet Derezinski Dorothy Soule Katherine Lewis Robert Pavlik Fritz Vincent FLUTES Betty Taylor Harriet Berens Marie Kryshak Marjorie Kohler OBOES Janice Halverson Loretta Clark BASSOON Vila Hunter BASS CLARINETS Albert Grencer Mary Phelan ALTO CLARINET Marjorie Stimm ALTO SAX Norman Prell Lois Risch BARITONE SAX Ronald Christianson CORNETS Robert Lee Raymond Lee Tom Raabe Lucille Cater Donald Kluck Dale Nelson James Watts Alice Hetzer TROMBONES Joe Heitzinger Dale Teck Lorraine Wood Robert Getman Roger Warbelton DIRECTOR BARITONES Terry Menzel Ray Becker Margaret Hull BASSES Ed Blackman Richard Walczak Orville Rogers STRING BASS Bill Golomski HORNS John Mase Virginia Cram Julie Lippner Pat Emmons TYMPANI Judy Graham XYLOPHONE Jack Jayne DRUMS Fred Harriman Robert Evans Jerry Boycks Bill Hanson Betty Kinney Evora Miller s E N I O R J U N I O R i £ 44 B A N D B A N D 45 Ilk ALu The elite of our school vocal groups is the A Capella Choir. They blended their voices in song in many public appearances, and that the effect was pleasing was very apparent in the response of the audience. The beautiful tone and harmony produced by the combina- tion of the four sections is agreeable to the most exacting of musical ears. In other words, if you ' ll pardon our borrowing a slogan, they satisfy . The choir ' s singing is especially esteemed at Christmas time when it goes about the halls caroling. It also was the main feature at a Christmas assembly and presented a Christ- mas concert. Soloists were George Timmer, Melba Peterson, and Louise Literski. We need look no further for a better example of what the choir can do. It is at its best singing carols. However, the Christmas season is not the only time when the choir gives forth with its pleasing music. It took part in the concert given jointly by the musical groups in the high school. Instead of electing one president the A Capella Choir selects a representative from each section. This group of four does the plan- ning and makes any decisions necessary and performs all the duties of a president. Those who were chosen for this year are: Soprano Betty Steckel Alto Marian Lawrence Tenor Tom Felker Bass Bernard Geise It was not a case of all work and no play with the choir. Waupaca Lakes was the scene of a number of tobaggoning parties. Two Madrigal groups were organized this year as a branch of choir work. They are com- posed of choir members. The members of the senior group are: Betty Steckel, Betty Fry- mark, Dorothy Ross, Mary Levi, Betty Walker, Louise Literski, Bernard Geise, Ed Blackman, Rex Ameigh, Stanley Taylor, George Timmer, Tom Felker, and John Mase. Those belonging to the junior group are: George Timmer, Rex Ameigh, Bonny Baldwin, Jean Stange, Betty Martin, and Clarice Bergen. Madrigal singers DOROTHY VETTER are grouped about a table and sing with neither accompani- ment nor directing. These groups sang at a large num- ber of club meetings and banquets this year. They have spent much of their leisure time in prac- ticing and the results have been very gra- tifying. Another newly organized group in the music department is the Boys ' Glee Club. A large number of boys turned out when the call was made. All those interested were given tryouts. The club meets every week and has accomplished a great deal for only one year. The Girls ' Glee Club also has a large membership. The girls put much time and ef- fort into practice and their singing proves that it was not ill-spent. They provided entertain- ment for many organizations in the city. There is also a special class for all those interested in solo work. Miss Vetter is the very able director and instructor of all these musical groups, as well as others in the city. |¥£ . 46 laXtiudl u Timmer, Ameiqh. Baldwin, Stanqe, Martin.

It is essential to every one of us — man, woman, or child, that ws know the best possi- ble manner to get the most and the best for our food and clothing dollars. The depart- ment is doing its part in pro- perly educating all of us in America. At noon when you smell those goodies, you know that the advanced food classes are at work. They prepare noon lunches for those who stay at school. This is but one of their many duties. They also assist in making each of the an- nual banquets a great success. The banquets and meetings which are held at school are those of the Kiwanis club, the Rotary club, the Board of Education, the City Council, and the Lions club. The freshman classes are very well at- tended. The students are taught the basic principles and the first steps in sewing and cooking. coiiomicA Marie Zimmerli. Alice Mae Dorsha, Elva Daughhete When the students are sophomores they learn more detailed principles of food prepara- tion and the important phases of sewing. The advanced sewing classes deal with more complicated problems. Each student un- dertakes a moderately difficult problem and sees it through to a successful finish. A comparatively new course offered in the department is the cooking class for the senior boys who wish to obtain a knowledge of how to manage when the little woman is out. The boys really displayed plenty of talent, too. Indeed, the work of the department, under its excellent teachers, is nothing but the best. 48 a j i ■ i . tij Verne Hendrickson, Walter Speerstra, Frank Steckel. Ray Gerke The Industrial Arts department is one of the most useful and valuable departments found in the P. J. Jacobs High School. The sub- jects included in this department are wood- work, mechanical drawing, sheet metal work, and printing. Woodwork is under the direction of Mr. Steckel. Three years of instruction are given. The freshmen have nine weeks of preliminary work in wood, learning the proper handling of tools and different kinds of wood used in sim- ple furniture pattern construction. The second and third year students are given special in- struction in the operation of power machines and the development of more complex pro- blems in furniture making. The mechanical drawing section is taken care of by Mr. Gerke. It is a four year subject and its purpose is to acquaint students with the principles of drawing. The freshman course consists of nine weeks of instruction in the use of common drawing tools, and the develop- ment of the ability to solve simple problems. The advanced classes are given courses in architecture, consisting of the details of house- planning, and the use of the blue printing ma- chine. There is also a course in elementary machine design and planning. Next year a course for machinists and the metal trades in blueprint reading will be given for seniors. The sheet metal course is offered to fresh- men for nine weeks. The five classes learn the principles of metal work, including the use of tools and machines, soldering, and the makeup of small articles. Three weeks are spent on electricity, to teach the student simple wiring. The fourth subject in this department, printing, is taught by Mr. Speerstra. The fresh- men learn how to set type, the layout of the case, and proof reading. The sophomores learn how to lay out type for tickets and post- ers, the types of presses, how to run off and feed a press, besides studying paper and ink. The junior and senior classes do all the print- ing for the school with the exception of that done by the sophomores. They print the pro- grams, and do the mechanical work on the Mirror. The senior class studies the use of the linotype, learning the proper fingering of it and how to operate it. In addition, they make minor repairs on the machines. 49 J J J- Agriculture is one of the newest and most important courses offered in the P. J. Jacobs High School. It not only benefits the students, but it aids the community farmers. In connection with the Ag course, Stev- ens Point has established a chapter of the F.F.A. This is a national organization for stu- dents interested in farming. It has a national constitution, emblem, creed, and colors. To be- come eligible for membership, a boy must be enrolled in agriculture. He is required to have a project of his own, and be elected by a ma- jority vote of the members already in the club. There are four degrees of membership, each with special requirements. In order they are: Green Hand, Future Farmer, State Far- mer, and American Farmer. Each F.F.A. oganization is privileged to select one outstanding farmer of the communi- ty to receive honorary recognition at the State Fair. Louis Nelson of Junction City, County Agriculture Committee Chairman, was chosen. A Golden Potato Contest was originated and carried out this year through the co-operation of the local Lions Club. Eleven boys entered. The Superior certificates and $5 prizes went to Jerry Marciniak and Marvin Schneider; Good certificates and $3 awards to Charles Piatt and Al Soik; Creditable certificates and $2 to Marvin Mayer and Gregory Kirshling. This year the boys began with the idea of making a trip next summer to the Black Hills or to Yellowstone Nation- al Park, but due to the National Emer- gency the plans may be dropped. The trip would be financed V erne hendrickson by co-operative pro- jects, such as selling garden seeds. A new project being carried out is that of landscaping the home grounds. Mr. J. S. Elfner, landscape specialist of the University of Wis- consin, is co-operating with eight boys of the agriculture department in planning and im- proving the appearance of the home grounds. This promises to be a very interesting and worthwhile undertaking. The F.F.A. officers are: President Robert Simkowski Vice-president Jerry Marciniak Secretary Marvin Mayer Treasurer Donald Jacobson Reporters Al Soik Charles Piatt All F.F.A. work is under the supervision of Mr. Hendrickson, agriculture instructor.

Mrs. Henning, secretary to Mr. Kraus, and Mrs. Speerstra, secretary to Mr. Vincent, are the ones to whom much of the credit belongs. The task of attending to these offices is by no means an easy one. Giving students all possible help in mak- ing out their program schedule, preparing the daily announcements, recording and filing re- port cards, keeping numerous references about each student, and keeping a calendar of all school activities, are only a few of the count- less tasks and duties of Mr. Kraus ' s office. Formerly all admits for absence and tardi- ness were issued in the principal ' s office, but now the separate attendance office has been established. It is under the direction of Mr. Bostad, whose duty it becomes to issue white or excused admits, blue, unexcused ones, and pink slips for truancy. In connection with keep- ing all attendance records, Mr. Bostad also supervises the seventh period, or detention. This has aided in lightening the duties of Mr. Kraus ' s office. In addition to the numerous things accom- plished by the office of the Superintendent of Schools, Mrs. Speerstra has charge of the book store and the sale of school supplies. This of- fice also keeps a calendar of school activities, identical with that in the principal ' s office. These calendars make it possible for activities to be arranged so that no two conflict. Miss Sadie Riley assists in this office when she is not busy with her duties as city visiting teach- er. All school activities are supervised by one or the other, or both, of these offices. Their fore- sight, and planning make for a more satisfac- torily directed program throughout the school year, from September to June. The efficient functioning of both offices contributes greatly to the smoothness of the school ' s operation. PRINCIPAL ' S SECRETARY MRS. HENNING SUPERINTENDENT ' S SECRETARY MRS. SPEERSTRA Re.1K.vX 51 }b LLss oj 1942 OFFICERS Dennis Worzalla, Harold Weiss, Tom Felker. Carl Kirshling The year 1942 marked the graduation of one of the school ' s finest senior classes. Among its 310 members were members of every orga- nization in the school, and participants in every activity. To think that the ever necessary gray matter was missing in this illustrious class would be an unforgivable mistake. Brain trusts grew in profusion. This is proven by the high averages of the majority of the seniors and the abundance of A s on their report cards. Throughout their high school careers the boys showed their ability in sports. Some ex- celled in several, others took part in only one. Senior members were featured players on the football squad. Many of the boys who did not play on the varsity basketball team participat- ed in intra-mural competition. The class was also well represented in hockey and boxing as well as track. However, it was not only the boys who were athletic. The girls were very active in G.A.A. work and proved their skill in sports, t :■. The play this class presented as juniors was a huge success. It was entitled One Mad Night and lived up to its title to the amuse- ment of the audience. The senior class play, June Mad, also set a record for excellence and enjoyment. When King Boots Derezinski led the grand march at the prom, he was followed by a long line of students. The theme of Fiesta Time in Old Mexico was well carried out in the colorful decorations. The class also had its literary geniuses, as proof, the Tattler and their work on the Mirror. Add to these the musical minded members and the artists and orators. The result is by no means unsatisfactory. Its excellent choice of officers has been a trademark for this class. When they were freshmen, they set the precedent by electing Ed Soik, president; Pat Weller, vice-president; Marylin Davis, secretary; Rob Lee, treasurer. Rob Lee was again elected as a class officer the following year, this time serving as presi- dent. He was assisted by Henrietta Prehn, vice-president; John Mase, secretary; Ray Becker, treasurer. For that all important posi- tion of junior class president, the class select- ed Chester Derezinski. The other officers were: vice-president, Rob Lee; secretary, Ruth Phe- lan; treasurer, Ray Glodowski. The final year Tom Felk er was chosen as the man to speak for his classmates at graduation. Harold Weiss was elected vice-president; Dennis Worzalla, secretary; Carl Kirshling, treasurer. 52 (I eiiicmvctl 1 Scenes taken = rem a entot s I lenient —i-lbnm In the groove Ugh!

The development of health knowledge and habits, physical welfare, and wholesome recreational pursuits, has been the aim of the physical edu- cation classes this year. All freshmen and sophomore boys and girls have participated in this program, for it is important that everyone be trained along these lines. The opening of school found the girls out- doors playing fieldball, a game closely related to soccer. This fall program was varied with games, such as dodgeball, liberty bob-ball, and relays of numerous types. When the weather no longer allowed out- door activity, the gym became the setting for vigorous volleyball games. This was the first time that the school has been equipped for this sport and the girls enjoyed it thoroughly. Vol- leyball was dropped when the basketball sea- son opened, as this favorite sport took up most of the time. A few weeks were spent in lead-up games and soon the girls were able to play the game itself. Spring brought baseball with it, and the classes again left the gym and could be seen out on the field. During the spring, too, they took hikes out to the park. All through the year were sprinkled days of tactics and calisthenics. Folk dancing of vari- ous types also helped round out the program. The gym exhibit on May 7 was the grand finale for the gym classes, when the girls de- monstrated their activities for the public of Stevens Point. The physical education program for the freshmen and sophomore boys was also a busy one this year, under Mr. Rebholz ' s guidance. The beginning of the year saw the boys learning important tactics of the course and the very basic running pointers. These phases were practiced outdoors, along with condition- ing exercises which kept the fellows physically fit. When the classes were forced indoors, their time was spent in playing indoor base- ball, dodgeball, and in relay work. Instruction was given in the fundamentals and rules of football, and the classes played touch foot- ball. Basketball provided much interest, also. A tournament was held in the evenings, among the five classes to determine the best players and teams. As a check on how much was learned, a test was given on the fundamental rules of the game. Volleyball was a major game and was played during the shut-in months. Competi- tion was keen in this sport and some fine play- ing was displayed. The spring program brought softball and track with it and each game was found in- teresting. Instruction on rules was given, too. The boys who were interested in tumbling, wrestling, and boxing, spent some time in spe- cial work on each particular project. 93  ?

The team, which started the gridiron battles included seven re- turning lettermen — Steve Stanchik, Glen Schlice, Chet Derezinski, and Joe Heitzinger in the backfield, and Don Bulmer, Carl Lake, and Eddie Blackman, the returning linemen. After the poor showing of the veterans in the Marsh- field and Wausau games, a lot of the younger players began to see experience, and much of the old fighting spirit and enthusiasm was re- vived. Although the team seemed to have that necessary something, it took five games be- fore they really clicked, as was proved by the last two games. When the season ended, the Point Panthers carried away the two highest team awards, one to Coach Russ Rebholz, as the coach of the year, and the other to the team, as the most improved team of the year. Individual player awards went to Carl Lake, outstanding senior tackle and captain, Chet Derezinski, Steve Stanchik, and Glen Schlice. Derezinski was placed on the second all-con- ference team and the others received honorable mention. RUSSELL REBHOLZ forrest Mcdonald DAVE KREMBS 94 Point 7. Marshlield 13 Captain— Lake The first game of our football season brought Marshfield here as our foes. In the first half it was pretty much all Point. With good ball handling, trick running and passing, Point led the attack without very much opposition. Two minutes before the half, Men- zel intercepted a pass and ran 32 yards for a touchdown. However, there was a change in luck in the second half. Marshfield made a touchdown and in the fourth quarter again got possession of the ball because of a bad pass by Point, and made another which spelled victory. Point 0, Wausau 37 Captain — Derezinski Wausau was the scene of our second grid- iron battle of the season. The game started with a bang and Point put up a good fight but to no avail. Those Lumberjacks just couldn ' t be stopped. Their scoring began in the first quarter and despite the Panthers ' heroic ef- forts continued throughout the game. Late in the fourth period, Pickles Krueger intercepted a pass and ran 30 yards but he did not score. Chet Derezinski played one of his finest games and George Schmitz ' s tackling was really sumpin. LAKE SCHULTZ KARDACH SMITH GOETZ STANCHIK DEREZINSKI SCHMITZ 95 Point 7, Antigo 13 Captain — Menzel The homecoming game against Antigo brought Point another battle. The kickoff went to Antigo and after rolling up a few first downs they lost the ball on downs. Point started off well and kept going. The Pointers with a new fooler play and some expert running, passing, and blocking put the old pigskin over the goal line on a pass from Schlice to Goetz. Midway in the third period Antigo got its first marker and not long after, its second and winning touchdown. Fine performances were turned in by Kardach and Phillips. Point 6, Rhinelander 12 Captain — Lake With their fighting spirit and enthusiasm revived Point encountered Rhinelander as its fourth foe. The Hodags took the kick off and went straight down the field for a touchdown. Point led the attack in the second period with a variety of passing plays and scored. Poi nt 0, Nekoosa 6 Captain — Stanchik This game was one of the major upsets of the year. The first quarter produced no brilliant plays but the second quarter showed that Ne- koosa had a bit more fight than Point and they put over the only touchdown of the game. BLACKMAN OLSKI MENZEL PHILLIPS HEITZINGER SCHLICE FLANNER BULMER 96 Point 6, Merrill Captain — Blackman Point ' s last home game with Merrill show- ed what the Point Panthers can really do. The first play marked victory for Point. They took the ball from their own 40 yard line and march- ed all the way to Merrill ' s 21 yard line. Then a tricky play executed perfectly brought the ball over the goal line. Merrill ' s only threat was in the last quarter when they threw a pass from the 14 yard line. Pickles Krueger inter- cepted the pass behind the goal and saved the game. The boys showed such spirit throughout the game that Merrill didn ' t have a chance. Point 20, Rapids 19 Captains — Smith and Goetz This was one of the most spectacular games Point has ever played. Rapids made three touchdowns in the first quarter making the score 19-0. Then came the explosion. With some hard play Point finally plunged over the last white stripe for a touchdown. Again Point took the ball and after one play Schlice ran 62 yards for the second score. The boys were really on their toes when they recovered a Ra- pids ' fumble and again scored. The score at the half: Point 20; Rapids 19. Stanchik, Schultz, and Kujawa were outstanding. KUJAWA PFLUGARDT MILLER KLASINSKI KRUEGER CLARK (Manager) 97 Ac i i men The freshman football squad made an ex- cellent showing again this year.

The Freshies won one of the games which they played, and this one was from Marshfield. The entire team did a fine job, and the two players who distinguished themselves nobly were Hurrish and Derezinski. Much credit is due the boys of this squad, and to their coach, Mr. Mac- Donald, who worked hard with them. The scores of the games: Point 6 Rapids 21 Point 7 Marshfield Point Marshfield 7 Point 6 Rapids 20 The freshman basketball team was successful, too, this year. Many of the boys showed that old fighting spirit, and their efforts net- ted some fine results, too. The cagers this year played eight games, and won six of these games. They won two from Rapids and Marshfield and one from Wausau and Rudolph. The games they lost were those to Amherst and to Wausau. The outstanding players were Phillips, Bom- bera, Derezinski, and Hur- rish. Mr. Sparhawk coached the first three games and Mr. Rebholz coached the rest of the season.

KaAetLll Derezinski, Krueger, Goetz, Kardach, Schultz, Kujawa, Bulmer, Raabe, Sivley The ' 42 basketball season will always be a memorable one for all of us — for more rea- sons than one. Under the new coach, Russ Rebholz, the team really went to town and showed their colors. A clean, fighting spirit characterized all of the playing by the Point Panthers. As is usual, the team had its share of ups and downs, but it came out on top. In the line-up for the season were many of the vets from previous years, who dribbled the ball and made the baskets that won the games. Heading the list of vets was Chester Boots Derezinski. Boots had the honor of being placed on the all-conference team as a guard. He played excel- lent defensive ball, being assigned to top scorers of opponent teams and also made his share of buckets, be- ing second on Point ' s scoring record. Ed Kardach was Point ' s top scorer, as well as being an outstanding floor player and ball handler. He was given honorable mention as a forward on the conference team. Pacing the vets we next found Bar- naby Butch Schultz, a guard, an all-around good player and ball handler. For our ace long shot artist, Len Goetz surely did his bit, as well as being in there playing all the time. He placed third on Point ' s scoring list. We also saw Jerry Smith towering above all the others, the last member to return from Point ' s team last year. Jerry was unfortunat e in that he received an injury early in the season, and his absence was felt. From all indications next year and the years following will be very successful, too. Many players from this year will be back. Vernon Pickles Krueger, who will be a junior next year showed excellent work and obtained the title of Kotz No. 2 . Much good ball hand- ling, floor work, and defensive and offensive playing were displayed by the following, who will all return next year: Don Bulmer, a snap- py little player; Will Sivley; Kootchie Ku- 99 jawa; Tom Raabe; and George Flugar, who will also be a junior. One of the reasons for remembering this season was the Regional Tournament at Ra- pids. It was, literally, a hard-fought one. Point met Nekoosa for the first game. The final half and its scoring streak made the final score 43 and 22, as we won and moved on to our next game of the meet. The second game was with New Lisbon. It was a scrappy game and Point had to keep on its toes all the way to win by a score of 31 to 25. The game that really counted was the one with Rapids, which determined who should go to the state tournament. This game was mark- ed by riot and roughness, although it began as a typical Point-Rapids battle. However, it de- veloped into more than a game of basketball. Incidentally, Rapids won by a score of 30 to 17 and they went to the state meet. So much for the tournament, and on to the games — The opening game of the season was played with Tomahawk. It was a very good game and ended with a final score of 27 to 25, with Point out in front. Schlice and Derezinski had high scores. Following this was the important game with Rhinelander, a strong team, from whom we won by a score of 34 to 32, thanks to CHET DEREZINSKI ED KARDACH BARNABY SCHULTZ DON BULMER LEONARD GOETZ 100 Smith ' s last minute ringer. Kardach led the scoring list. A heart-breaking game for Point was the next one with Antigo, which ended with a score of 35 to 33, with Antigo winning. Continuing on, Point dropped another game, this time to Wausau. The score: 33 to 28. However, it was a well-played and good game. Marshfield suffered in the following game, as the Panthers who were out for revenge, played circles around the Marshfielders. The score was 27 to 21. Krueger set the pace for Point. Next in line was Rapids, who stooped to Point in a super game of ball. The Rapids play- ers were baffled by Point ' s aggressive and de- fensive play, which made the score 30 to 22. The Nekoosa Papermakers fell next in line as they were mowed down by a score of 49 to 25. Honors went to Krueger, Kardach, and Derezinski. The game with Wausau was a hard one for Pointers to lose, as it meant a great deal in the final ratings, but it was hard fought and clean. The score was 29 to 20 and Wausau and Point both played ball with an A-l label on it. The last game with Merrill was a cinch for Point, as evidenced by the 38 to 20 score.

Clark, Nelson, Carpenter, Sether, Kubisiak, Love, Slaske This year under the able supervision of Forrest Scotty McDonald the Point B squad completed the season undefeated. The team, composed entirely of sophomores, shows great possibilities of becoming one of the best varsi- ty squads Point has ever had. Last year as freshmen they had a perfect record also, so this year ' s success is merely old stuff to them. Highlights of the season were the fine playing of guard George Flugaur and the scoring abili- ty displayed by Roy Buster Groeschel and the rest of the team. The first game was played against the Tomahawk squad. Led by George Flugaur who tallied seven points, the Point reserves de- feated the Tomahawk reserves by a score of 29-12. Even in this first game the team showed a well-balanced attack. The next game was with Antigo. Guard Flugaur again led the team to a 23-18 victory over the Antigo reserves in a thrilling game. Forwards Jack Love and Dale Nelson followed Flugaur with seven and four points respective- ly. In the preliminary game with Nekoosa the team won easy 34-13 victory. Roy Groeschel paced the attack with nine points. Marshfield was the B squad ' s next vic- tim. The score, 27-15. George Meyers, forward, and Groeschel, guard, led the reserves with six points each. The reserves trounced the Wausau quintet by a 28-20 victory. Groeschel again sparked Point ' s attack with eight points. Wausau out- scored Point on the floor but Point won the game with seventeen free throws to the loser ' s two. With Nelson making seven of the twenty- nine points netted by Point, the team defeated their old rival, Rapids, with a seventeen point margin. Coming to life in the second half after a slow start, the reserves ran away with Marsh- field. Flugaur poured in eleven points to pace the attack. Carpenter with seven points and Groeschel with six points shared scoring hon- ors. Merrill was their final victim. Winning by a 40-25 score the team chalked up its eighth victory of the year. Groeschel tallied thirteen points and was followed by Clark with eight. Every fellow on the team was given a chance to play in each game. This accounted for the fine sportsmanship displayed by the reserve team throughout the year. Mr. McDonald ' s ex- cellent coaching was an important factor in making the season the success it was for the B squad. 102 Zei, Menzel, Heitzinqer, Phillips LL T. V ., . f O i tf 1 £r rack a ' J This year the Point Hockey Team played four games, two with Waupaca, one with Rapids, and one with Wausau. Because of exceptionally bad weather, the Point Pucksters could not complete their games as scheduled. The first game was played at Rapids. Heitzinger was acting captain of the game. It was played in 20 degree below weather, and therefore the periods were cut short. Zei turned in the best performance. The second game was at home, with Waupaca. Peter Tex Zei was acting captain of the game and also scored the only two points of the game. The next game at Wausau was the most thrill- ing of all. Wausau scored in the last few seconds of the game, to defeat Point. Pete Zei was elected captain of the team. i In i in c 1 The Girls Tumbling Club, under the supervision of Miss Nevins, took an active part in the athletic activities in school. The group, made up of thirty girls, was divided into two sections, Beginners and Advanced. A test was given at the beginning of the season to classify the girls into the proper groups. Every Thursday after school, stiff joints were loosened up in preparation for the fine performance that was given between the halves of the Merrill basketball game and at the assembly the same morning. The tumblers participated in the annual gym exhibit which was given outside in the stadium on May 7. The pyramids were the outstanding features of the tumbling act. There were also individual stunts and some with two and three girls. Tumbling as a sport develops poise, muscular control, courage, and the ability to work with others. It is a fine activity for development which should be of interest to many more high school girls. Tumbling is fun for everyone from beginners to experienced participants. More girls have shown interest this year than ever before, thanks to the appreciated encouragement of Miss Nevins. 103 INTRA-MURAL AVARICES TOP ROW— Phillips. Porter. Zei. Yach.

This proved to be one of the most exciting activities in the P. J. Jacobs High School in recent years. There were three divisions in the league; these divisions were determined by the weight of the players and were as follows: the heavy weights were the boys who weighed more than 130 pounds; the lightweight division consisted of boys who weighed from 108 pounds to 130 pounds; the flyweight division made up of boys who weighed less than 108 pounds. Because of popular demand the flyweight division was organized two years ago. The heavy weights consisted of four teams. The team names were The Avarices, The Blackouts, The Blitzfires, and The Eagles. Three rounds were played, and The Avarices won two of the three, thus obtaining the cham- pionship in its division. Jack Berdan was cap- tain of this team. There were six teams in the lightweight division. They were The Dreadnoughts, The Redskins, The Bears, The Trojans, The Cubs, and The Red Arrows. These teams played only one round, which accounted for the very hard and fast playing which made the games in- teresting. The Redskins were the well deserved champions and had as their captain Tom Alfuth. The Flyweight teams were The Cardinals, The Red Devils, The Furious Five, and The Bombers. These teams played three rounds. The Cardinals proved themselves the best of the four teams by winning two of the three rounds. Their captain was Lewis Jacobowski. Intra-mural basketball was organized for fellows who didn ' t participate in varsity basket- ball, and it really gave all an opportunity to prove their abilities in this particular field. 104 SPORTS Lf.-L Basketball was as usual the most popular sport in G. A. A. work. The girls turned out en- masse this year and when the tournament got underway there were eleven teams participat- ing. Because of the large number, Katherine Spencer, head of basketball, organized a lad- der tournament. Each captain drew a number and so placed her team on a rung of the lad- der. The object of such a tournament is to gain possession of the top rung and hold it against all other teams. The Fighting Irish with Peggy Elliott as captain started out in the envied position. The Retrievers under Katie Spencer started from the bottom and climbed up the ladder rung by rung defeating every team along the way. They dethroned the Irish who had held up against all other challengers. When those two teams clashed a fine game resulted. There were two other teams which kept the top men worried. One was captained by Delores Kubi- siak, who very fittingly christened them Torchie ' s Team. Pat Payne ' s Zombies were the other powerful contenders. Two teams were made up entirely of freshmen: Delores Phillips ' Frosh Sparks and Ethel May Olson ' s Frosh Flashes . The seniors had a team, too. It was Nadine Zea- man ' s Hot Shots . Margie Chiechowski ' s De- fenders, Leone Kubishiak ' s Athletes Feet, Alice Hetzer ' s Hay Shakers, and Jean Neal ' s Sure Shots were the other teams on the ladder. The girls from all teams were eligible for the class teams chosen by Katherine Spencer and Miss Nevins at the close of the tourna- ment. Girls were chosen for ability, sportsman- ship, and attendance. The juniors won and were awarded numerals. Miss Nevins was assisted by Ruth Phelan who refereed.  ft RETRIEVERS TOP ROW— Hopp. Laszinski. Glodoske BOTTOM ROW— Terzynski. Spencer. Treder TORCHIE ' S TEAM TOP ROW— Ballard, Beedle, Mansavage.

Twenty-five athletic points and a payment of dues are the only requirements for member- slur. As additional points are acquired merit awards are given. These points are earned by participation in hours of all sports, except hik- ing, in which mileage is counted. This year five extra points were given to participators in organized activities. One of the higher awards is the letter S , which is given for five hundred of these sports ' points. This year for the first time in the history of the G. A. A. this award was won by junior girls. The record breakers were: Peggy Elliot, Irma Treder, Virginia Glodowski, and Katherine Spencer. In addition to breaking this record Peggy Elliot and Kath- erine Spencer are the first juniors to be award- ed the seven hundred point chevron. Dorothy Roshak, Rita Kryshak, and Judy Graham are seniors who have made all-time letters award records. Betty Steckel has accomplished more than any girl since the beginning of the G. A. A. in this high school. She has received her second chevron which means that she has earned nine hundred points. This record will be hard to equal. The novel feature of the year was the night hikes, in which most of the girls took part. The first hike took them all over the city; ihe second, to the country, and the third, to Bukolt Park where they tried to cook a Booja . Every girl was to bring a can of vegetables to cook in the common kettle. Variety was hardly lacking when one of them brought a can of fruit-cocktail. Volleyball was the new sport. This was the first time it had been played in the new gym, and according to the enthusiastic players it will not be the last. A tournament was held. The teams captained by Irma Treder placed first, and Katherine Firkus ' s team won second place. Two early autumn sports besides hiking were archery and fieldball. The girls were re- markably skilled in both activities, considering the short season in which they were carried on. Archery is a well supported sport and was also carried on in the spring. Many feminine William Tells were discovered who could hit the apple in the center of the target. Field- ball was a sport which was a good source of exercise for many of the gals. These games helped them all to develop sportmanship and fairness as the season progressed. The sport which the girls probably enjoy the most is basketball. A ladder tournament was held and there was a record turnout. Its popularity is clearly shown by the large num- ber of participants. With the first signs of spring tennis rackets and baseball bats appeared. A baseball tour- nament was held per usual, and all the Alice Marbles strutted their stuff on the tennis courts. Much credit for the accomplishments of the G.A.A. is due to Miss Nevins, the advisor. Her new ideas and her constant help have kept the girls enthusiastic to the very end of the school year.

The title of the play which was presented was The Late Christo- pher Bean . This play was more serious than any other play given this year. It was a very dif- ferent and difficult play to produce, but the cast turned out an excellent production. Miss Dorothea Wolfe, Dramatic Club advisor, de- serves the credit for directing the play and making it a success. The play centered around Abby, the Hag- gett family ' s maid, who is the owner of a large number of paintings which Chris Bean had painted when he was living. Several New York men attempt to buy the paintings at a ridiculously low price and to cheat the unsuspecting Abby out of a great fortune. The Haggetts, too, try their best to get their hands on the paintings, except Susan, who is on Abby ' s side and doesn ' t want her to fall into their clutches. In the end Abby reveals that she is Mrs. Chris Bean and that the paintings rightfully be- long to her. The Dramatic Club play does honor to the Dramatic Club.

It was a humorous sketch centering about Howard Brant, a young college student, who, because of some difficulties with his zoology teacher, Professor Virgil Bean, finds himself about to be refused a diploma at graduation. But, fortunately, his aunt, Maude Corey, who has been financing his college education, and who unexpectedly arrived the day before grad- uation, very tactfully persuades the professor to let Howard graduate. The chemist, Ed Burns, and Vic Lewis, the artist, get into a terrible predicament when they mistake the wealthy Henry Purcell for a Bolshevik model and nearly lose the $25,000 science building which Mr. Purcell had pro- mised to the college. Miss Dorothea Wolfe, advisor of the Dra- matic club, was responsible for the very fine direction and production of the play. Due to the excellent cooperation between the cast and the director and among those in the cast them- selves, the play turned out to be a great suc- cess. It is truly an accomplishment for the junior class to be proud of.

The title of the play was June Mad, one very appropriate for the sea- son and the class. The play was a comedy and, too, was the last high school production of the year. Cooperation characterized the work done by the cast, under the direction of Miss Dorothea Wolfe, who devoted much precious time to directing the sketch. A small Mid-Western town, named Lynchwood, was the setting for the play. The time was the present. The sketch was centered about Penny Wood, a fifteen year old girl who had more than her share of the traditional trials and tri- bulations of teen-age youth. Chuck Harris was Penny ' s feller and received her deepest af- fection until suave Roger Van Vleck, made his entrance. Roger was a friend of Uncle Mer- vyn ' s and possessed a very fine line with which he experimented much too often. An- other character who was a victim of circum- stance was Julie, Uncle Mervyn ' s girl friend. Milly Lou was the little pest of the plot. The remaining characters wove an interesting pat- tern through the sketch. A happy ending with Penny and Chuck, and Julie and Mervyn re- united, completed the plot. This play will ever be one of the immortalities of the Class of ' 42.

J. Jacobs High School, on April 10, the couples entered into a dream world of stars, clouds, and castles. Because the decorations were carried out so effectively, they could easily imagine that they were The Couple in the Castle . During the course of the evening, one hun- dred and sixty-four couples danced to the dreamy music of Johnny Nugent and his ten piece orchestra from Oshkosh. Willard Sivley, president of the junior class, led the grand march with Lois Gullick- son, who was the ideal queen in a lovely white taffeta dress, sprinkled with clusters of blue and pink flowers. The program during intermission also ap- propriately carried out the theme. Bonnie Bald- win sang The Couple in the Castle and a toe dance to the tune of the same song was pre- sented by Donna De Guire and Nancy Quinn. The girls wore pink and blue dresses. Erwin Kitzrow was master of ceremonies. Ike k fxaiiX _• I Idtcli 112 to in The light blue programs were decorated with prints of dark blue castles and various colored pencils were attached to them.

Eligibility in regard to scholarship requires that juniors have a scholastic average of 90, and seniors of 88, and only a certain percent- age is admitted. In addition to the scholastic requirements, twenty points obtained by participation in ex- tra-curricular activities under school supervi- sion are essential. These points, together with the pupil ' s enthusiasm in regard to school ac- tivities prove his leadership. As membership in the National Honor Society is one of the highest honors that can be conferred upon a high school student, good character is also a necessary requirement. It is felt that by stressing character, the student will strive to become not merely a better stu- dent, but, in time, a better citizen as well. Service shows the willingness of the mem- bers to carry out and efficiently complete all tasks assigned to them. This year a new re- sponsibility was accepted by the National Honor Society, and that was the task of report- ing to the Daily Journal accounts of all school asemblies and other school news of interest to the general public. The excellent manner in which the members discharged their duties proves that they were indeed of service, not only to the school, but to the public as well, by keeping them informed. Miss Ethelwyn Baerwaldt is the faculty advisor of the group. TOP ROW — Weiss, Lawrence. Lippner, Kryshak. Martens, Bowman, Menzel MIDDLE ROW — Ross, Ruii, Barrows, Roshak, L. Clark, D. Clark. Pett.

Troop No. 3, a Senior Girl Scout organiza- tion, is composed of girls between the ages of fourteen and eighteen who wish to continue their scout activities. This troop has spent much of its time tak- ing part in National Defense activities. They have been engaged in sewing, knitting, learn- ing first aid and other Red Cross duties. Other numerous activities included com- munity work, sports, and overnight hikes to the new Leah Welsby Girl Scout Lodge at Iverson Park. Nature Study was the main feature of many daytime hikes. At Christmas time the girls took part in an extensive handicraft pro- gram. The scouts pay dues during the year to finance a week-end trip to the Wisconsin Dells, which is the highlight occasion of the year. t. — iuik I I liltciU Defenders of Woods and Wilds is the pledge and motto of the Junior Izaak Waltons. The purpose of this club is the promotion of conservation and stimulating an interest in it. The necessity of preserving our national forests, water, and wild life is impressed upon the boys by means of frequent movies and speak- ers. This awareness of nature encourages bet- ter citizenship. This year, as in previous years, the boys planted evergreen trees in the Boston school forest located near Plover. This group is sponsored by the Portage County chapter of the Izaak Walton League.

Jacobs High School. Every year Stevens Point contestants have made a fine showing and have carried back honors for themselves and for their school. The faculty and the students of the P. J. Jacobs High School were especially proud this year because of the very fine and very large group of students who participated. The competition was perhaps the keenest this year that it has ever been, and it was extremely difficult for the judges to elimi- nate. Any student who desires to participate in forensics has the privilege of selecting one or more of the following fields in which to com- pete: extemporaneous reading, extemporane- ous speaking, oratory, humorous declamation, or serious declamation. All together there are five contests in which a student may compete if he is successful. There is a local contest, a league, a district, and a state contest. This year the P. J. Jacobs High School was very fortunate in having two repre- sentatives in the state forensic contest, which was held at Madison, Wisconsin, on April 11. The local contest was held here in Stevens Point, on March 10 and 11. Those students who survived the preliminary and final eliminations of the local contest under very keen competi- tion were as follows: Joan Kurtzweil, extem- poraneous reading; Erwin Kitzrow, extempo- raneous speaking; Frederick Harriman, oratory; Yvonne Moreau, humorous declamation; and Andy Komasa, serious declamation. Due to the fact that these five participants were successful in the local contest, they were given the privilege to take part in the league contest, which was held at Nekoosa. Each Stevens Point contestant received a place. Joan Kurtzweil received third in extemporaneous reading, Erwin Kitzrow received second in ex- temporaneous speaking, Frederick Harriman placed first in oratory, Yvonne Moreau placed first in humorous declamation, and Andy Ko- masa placed first in serious declamation. Unfortunately, due to circumstances be- yond his control, Frederick Harriman was un- able to participate in the district contest held at Wisconsin Rapids. Nevertheless, Yvonne Moreau and Andy Komasa came back with victories in humorous and serious declama- tions. On April 1 1 these two declamers took part in the state contest at Madison. Yvonne was awarded a B rating, and Andy was awarded a C rating. Both did remarkably well. The teachers who headed the forensics this year were as follows: Miss Kostecki, Miss Mc- Donald, Miss Rice, and Miss Schultz. 116 ■ % BECKER HARRIMAN NYE = J-)evatt Debate is one of the most worthwhile of school activities. It aids the student in speak- ing; it helps him to think clearly and accurate- ly, and it makes for a clearer, more fully de- veloped mind. A great deal of time and research was necessary in preparing the debate topic this year, for the wording of the question was changed several times, as changing conditions in the world demanded. The subject for debate was, Resolved, that, as a general policy, every able-bodied male citizen in the United States should be required to serve one year of full time military training before attaining the present draft age. The question was a particu- larly well-chosen one, being timely and of in- tense interest to everyone. As a result of the special debate class, which was offered to sophomores last year, the squad was composed chiefly of juniors. In this debate course the students learned the fundamentals of debate, such as research work and preparation of the brief and rebuttal, as well as actual debating. The affirmative team was composed of Jeanne Nye, first speaker, Fred Harriman, second, and Yvonne Moreau, alternate. The negative side of the question was upheld by Erwin Kitzrow, first speaker, Dick Becker, second, and Eunice Kraus, alternate. Two of the members of the squad had actual experience last year in de- bating, while the other two served as alter- nates. The district tournament was held here at Stevens Point on January 28, with 20 teams from high schools in Central Wisconsin com- peting. The debates were held in the vario us classrooms in the school, giving students the opportunity to hear the debaters. Although our squad did not win the right to represent the dis- trict, it made a very fine record of four vic- tories, each team winning two and losing one debate. They are to be congratulated on their fine showing, as they met some very stiff com- petition. Both Mr. Moreau, who coached the squad from the beginning of the year until he was taken ill, and Miss McDonald, who took over and did an exceptionally good job in carrying on, deserve much credit, as do those who gave so generously of their time and labor in mak- ing this year a successful one. With this background and experience, we can expect a most promising year in debate in ' 43. The question for debate next year has already been chosen and has to do with post- war world organization. It is hoped that many more students will turn out for debate in the future, for it is only with a good representation that a strong squad can be built up for future years. Also this is an actvity which will pay real dividends to each student who participates. 117 TOP ROW — Daniels, A. Bowman, Berndt, M. Kryshak, N. Zeaman, Badten, Anderson, Gruber, M.

Its pur- pose is to educate our youth in the duties, privileges, rights, and responsibilities of our American citizenship. Badger Boys State is annually held at Ri- pon College during the last week in June. Over 500 boys from every part of Wisconsin were present at the 1941 camp. The Stevens Point American Legion Post, along with co-sponsor- ing local civic organizations, sent six boys chosen from the junior class of the P. J. Jacobs High School. Badger Boys State is a model state, run by the boys who are sent to the camp. All offices in the state, which parallels the state of Wis- consin in its operation, are open to the boys. The elections, from governor to alderman, are the high spots of the week and are held after much vigorous campaigning. In addition, three schools are operated, one of which every camper must attend: a) law school; b) civil service school, and c) peace officers ' school. These schools are conducted by the recognized leaders of these fields in Wisconsin. After an intensified, if brief, course, examinations are given, and only those who pass are allowed to practice as lawyers or help as civil service employees, and be the peace officers of the camp. There is plenty of time for recreation at camp too; there are all sports, as well as a band and an orchestra, a Camera Club, a daily newspaper, and oratorical contests. There is an activity to keep every boy busy. The boys who were sent from Stevens Point were all active in camp activities. Ed Blackman and Joe Heitzinger were state senators, William Golomski was an assembly- man, John Mase was active in his political party, and Ray Lee and Jay Normington were the co-campaign managers of Dick Lewis of Eau Claire, the successful candidate for gover- nor. The annual Badger Boys State is an excel- lent opportunity for every boy. The boys are selected from the junior class for their ability in school and extra-curricular activities. Each boy, on his return from Badger Boys State, is required to give an oral report to his local spon- soring club. Golomski, Normington, Mr. Kraus, Mase. Lee.
