The third night the Senior girls played the Freshman girls for first place, neither of them having lost a game. The Seniors won by a score of 6-2 in a slow but well played game. The Senior boys played the Junior boys for first place, and although the Senior team was slow in getting started, they were able to turn defeat on the Juniors by a victory of 26-20. The Seniors put on a big chicken feed for the winners of the tourna ment and as the champs were the Seniors, both girls’ and boys’ teams, they had the feed all to themselves. It was a regular feast, but the Seniors didn’t let any of it go to waste.

Sophomore Class N the fall of the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty three; there did enroll in the Pardeeville High School thirty Freshmen, strong in courage and intent, ready to start that long trail to Wisdom. The year passed, and had they not worked and improved. And the members of the class of twenty-seven, having resolved to even greater learning, did again enter the Portals of the P. H. S. And their number was like unto the sands of the sea, even unto the sum of twenty-seven. Nothing is complete without them. To athletics they fur- nish their quota, their notes sound among the general discord known as the orchestra. In their literary efforts are found hidden gems, their social prowess is recognized even by their elder brothers, the class of '25. Yea, of a truth, and who can cage 'em from the middle of the floor like Steve, who can grab em from beh nd the willow like Harold, who can get Ancient History like Izzy, who can make life miserable for us like Windy, who can make a trombone shriek like with Ed, who can wear the lordly air like Duke Moran, who can compete with Maggie in Prose and Poetry, who can work brain wracking problems like Ruby, who can chew Wrigley's like Chas. ? And having accomplished all these things can they not aspire to still greater? In their school years to come which will bring them ever nearer to the goal of graduation, can they not in the misty valley of Education work wonders and do impossible things which shall for all time be an incentive to green Freshmen? We hope so! 30
