It was a frame building of one room requiring only one teacher. Onto this building an addition was later built making two rooms and requiring two teachers. In 1860-61 a new brick build- ing was also erected on Canada Street. This new building had two stories, one room in each story and required two teachers. A few years later an addition was made to be used as a primary room. This building was later sold to John Weldon who tore it down. In 1904, about twenty-four years ago, a high school was built in the south- eastern part of the village. It was a frame Structure of two stories, and its cost is estimated at twenty thousand dollars. All the rooms were not needed at that time so it was not completely finished until a year later. There were eight teachers at this time in both grades and high school, and as the school grew and new courses were entered the attic and basement room were used as class rooms. In 1922 a barracks was built. This barracks was used two and a half years as a school room, to make room in the original building for the increasing high school. i 9 } The Win S PL R '2 8 In 1923 a new brick building of two stories was erected. This is the best building Pardeeville has ever bad. Its cost is estimated at sixty thousand dollars. 1 he first principal of the schools in Pardeeville was Mr. Doudna, who re- mained here two years. He was succeeded by Mr. Ray who remained only one year. Mr. Ray was followed by Mr. Emmett who remained four years. During this time students ranged in number from ten to fifteen in the high school. Our school had not been accredited up to this time and was not fully accredited until the time of Mr. Henkel who succeeded Mr. Emmett. I he enrollment increased to seventy under Mr. Henkel who was our principal for seven years. He was succeeded by Mr. Cook. There was a decrease in attendance under Mr. Cook who remained three years. Mr. Cook was succeed- ed for one year by Mr. Rosenthal who was in turn succeeded by Mr. Nelson. Mr. Nelson was principal for three years and the school prospered well under both of them. For the past five years Mr. Zimmerman has been our principal and the enrollment has increased to about one hundred and forty students. This is the sixth edition of “The Whisper.’’ The fifth edition published by the Class of '27 was entered in the All American Annual Contest and won third place.

And now, each one mu£t take his place On Life’s great rftage; Each girl, each youth mu$t somehow face Life’s turning page. Page after page, day after day ' Tis all the same; Striving, toiling to reach the way To wealth and fame. But though we’re scattered here and there. Within each heart Will linger thoughts of High School where We got our art. So farewell dear old Pardee High And schoolmates too; We all are loath to say goodbye And $tart anew. 4 4 4' 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 [ � 2 I The WHISPER 9 2 8 VERNA BEAHM, “Beahm” A still small voice.

That reaches the top in one more step. Who are spending their time from day day In working for progress in their own sure way? Which is the class that has labored and striven. To present the best carnival that has ever been given. And whose Prom, I am sure, was as great a success? Who? The Juniors? Yes. yes! Which is the class that’s doing their bit To further our Pardeeville High, Who boast and uphold their colors true, Those colors of brilliant gold and blue? Which is the class that hope to gain The highest goals that you can attain. And sweep through next year with wreathes of glory Who? The Juniors by gory! We think the most eventful and most enjoyable year of our “Hi School life has been this one when we were Juniors. On October 27th we had our “Halloween Frolic” which was a great success, even greater than we had hoped for. The night following the annual Basket Ball Tournament began with a victory for our boys over the honorable “Sophs.” The following Monday the Junior girls played a winning game against the “Sophs.” On Tuesday night the finals were held with the Junior boys playing a fast game against our upper classmen. The Seniors. We are sorry to say that our boys lost out in the final score but they played a wonderful game and that is what counts. The girls also played a good game against their worthy apponents. The Seniors and won at a score of 2-0, thus winning the championship for the girls. After this we had quite a few parties etc. but the most worthy of mention is the spectacular event of the year, “ The Junior Promenade.” The gym was beautifully decorated in blue and gold. (The class colors of the class of 29.) On the deck of a ship under blue heavens and a starlit sky, the dancers swayed to the rythmic music of the ship orchestra. It was a gala Vene- tian night long to be remembered. We can truthfully say that this has been the most beautiful Prom ever held in P. H. S. and we are glad that we the class of 29 have had this honor of making it such a great success. [ 18] The WHISPER ’28 (Junior Glass MISS DASENBROCK LORRAINE PERKINS ELSIE O BLENESS .

They are the Sophomore� of to-day. The smallest class in High School But not the learft in any way. We think we are the very beft, And what we think we are. With our wonderful class advisor, Mr. Olson is our flar. None of us are braggers. For the truth we are all game. And if the question were left to the High School I know you would think the same. We don’t have to sing our own praises. Oh! that would never do. We are too modest and bashful. Boasting to us would be new. Our lessons are always prepared. We never break a rule. Never absent, always on time. We’re the Model Class” in school. Oh! the Class of 1930. Whose colors are purple and gold. You will find our names in the halls of fame. Stories of our life will be told. As we love this Pardeeville High School. Class! bear this in mind. The Sophomores will leave their examples, and A blazing trail behind. It would be wise to follow our path. Just try with all your might. You will go through life a-sailing. Higher than Lindberg’s flight. 1 Freshman Glass Qoem We have entered Pardee High School As the Class of 31. Though our work is hard and endless Our task has just begun. When many a lesson's studied. With careful close attention The wisdom gained from it Isn't enough to mention. It really isn't our fault ’Cause things seem kind o’ deep Or that occasionally we’re tardy. Because we over-sleep. Though we are only Freshmen, We have a record unsurpassed. We will overcome our hardships And reach the top at last. [ 22 ] The WHISPER ’2 8 tS lumni 1907 Isabell Young, Fogo; Evansville, Wis.

FIRST GAME WESTFIELD 26. PARDEEV1LLE 27 Pardeeville was chosen to play Westfield, the picked winners of the tourn- ey, the first night. Westfield started with a rush and played Pardeeville off their feet the first quarter. The score being 12-4. In the second quarter the situation was reversed. With Gordon Eggleston leading, the team came back and at the end of the second quarter the score was 18-16 in our favor. Gordon was re- sponsible for six field goals the first half. The second half started with a rush, and both teams played carefully. First one team would score and soon the other would follow, until with three minutes to go, Pardeeville was leading 27-26. No scores were made after this. This proved to be the best game of the tournament. SECOND GAME —WINNECONNE 16, PARDEEVILLE 20 The nervous effects of the tourney showed plainly the second night when Pardeeville barely won by a four point margin. Eggleston sustained a sprained ankle in the second quarter but was able to finish the tournament. We suffered heavily, when in the third quarter Charles Scharf, our stellar guard, twisted his knee which kept him from playing the next night. By winning the game Pard- eeville had second place cinched and needed to annex one more victory for the championship. THIRD GAME RED GRANITE 31. PARDEEVILLE 22 Red Granite proved too strong for Pardeeville in her weakened condition as was evidenced by very poor guarding and inaccurate shooting under the basket. Red Granite had a fine group of passers and basket tossers that was a threat in all her games. Pardeeville missed her chance but brought home a silver placque for the team displaying the best condu 5t, sportsmanship, and appearance, of which we are very proud. As second place winners each boy received a silver medal as an award. Of the first eight men the following boys graduated: Gordon Eggleston, Lyman Topham, Charles Scharf, Harold Baillies. Glen Clarke. John Thomas and Paul Eagan. This left Harold Mahar and Vincent Lynch as a nucleus for next year's team. Mr. Heaps who is our local jeweler, presented the first eight men with min- iature silver basket balls. The boys wish to thank Mr. Heaps for his interest in the team.

It stands for all that is good, by teaching the importance of keeping physically fit and mentally fit. Besides these it teaches such social ideals as sportsmanship, leadership and comradeship. This year the girls are working for letters and they plan to conduct a May-fete in the spring.

Suddenly the door burst open, and an old white- haired man came running in. In his hands he held a small box about three by six inches. From the top of this, two brass or copper rods extended, and be- tween these a single wire was extended. “At last. he shouted, “I have it. This machine will catch any burglar going. Dick arose. “Will you get out of here and quit pestering me, he yelled. Just then the radio phone rang. He snatched up the receiver. Hello? Hello! Chief Detective Bunson speaking! Radio Gus has struck again! “What? Where? When? And what for? “David Pebble, the Chicago millionaire, killed at about eleven o'clock by a radio bullet. His safe was opened by eletricity, and money, jewels, and papers, all taken. No clues, as usual. The receiver slammed down. “Well, what do you know about that? Say, you, come back here with your machine, Dick yelled, struck by a sudden idea. “Are you crazy? “Well 1 guess I am not, said the old fellow. “I'll find out by this intellegence test. Say, why did'nt they play cards on the ark? “Why, because Noah was sitting on the deck. replied the old man. “Hm, not so crazy, mused Dick. “Come on with me. [ 35 ] T W ’28 he clo)ireless Q)etettive-(3ontinued They rushed out, climbed into a taxi, and were rushed to David Pebble's mansion. “Now hook up your machine,’ said Dick. 1 he old fellow tremblingly hooked it up by running a wire from a copper ring in the box, to the aerial socket, on the powerful fifteen-tube radio. They turned the dials; suddenly a powerful trembling affedted the box. A roll in it turned. They plugged out and took off this roll. Printed on it were the words, “Private station. Two thousand kilometers North by North-east. Occupied at present— They immediately plugged into the indicator and photograph machine and the radio. Ten minutes passed. They plugged out and looked at the photo- graph. It was the face of a villainous Chinaman. This was the visage of the person owning the hand that had last tuned his microphone with the radio of David Pebble. The old fellow was hopping madly about. “1 told you so,” he shouted. I told you my machine could pick out the person last at the radio.” Old man, you’re right said Dick. “It’s a success. We'll give you lots of money for it. Two hours of hard work, and Dick and Phil Lambert were following the directions worked out. in a small, speedy, silent, airplane. Soon they were creep- ing silently upon a Chinese dive in Choctaw, Illinois. They located their door by the clicking of a machine which sounded like an eledtric generator, and the words, “Pebble’s jewels and “No can telle when detedtives gette wise. They burgt it open. Sharp, quick work lights out—red flashes split the darkness. Phil guarded the door while Dick plunged into the room. Three sharp cracks split the air, and then quiet! Dick snapped on the lights. Sudden- ly he paled, and turned to Phil. “Snap the cuffs on these fellows. Look! he said hoarsely, and pointed at the machine set and plugged in. On the indicator were signs of a radio shock- bullet directed to the set of Richard Wallingsworth, the old inventor. f J6] The W . R ’2 8 he clo)ireless Q)etcttive-Gontinucd “Bring 'em along by the cross-country dirigible. I'm off, shouted Dick. The bullet was set to arrive at ten o’clock at the set of Wallingsworth. “I’ve got ju3t fourteen minutes and two seconds by the clock on the dash- board, he muttered, as he swiftly rose into the air and sped away. Setting the machine, he climbed out to the tail of it, and fastened three copper wires to the tail piece and flung the coils of wire out into the ozone. These trailed along through the air behind. Ahead of him he saw the lights of Chicago. “Ah, 1 am almost directly in the current the bullet passes. he said. He set the machine again, and fastening a parachute to himself, he jumped. As his plane went through the current, the wires gathered the electricity and conducted it to the machine. Floating gently down through the air. Dick saw his plane bur t into flames and plunge into Lake Michigan. One hour later, having taken an electric train into head-quarters, and having changed his clothes, he appeared before his chief with another two-for-fifteen cent weed clamped between his teeth. Radio Gus gang is taken, chief,' he said, “You're another, said the chief. That s Chang Chew Long, an inter- national crook and murderer, and the reward for him is exactly four-hundred- fifty thousand dollars, and it belongs to you and Phil Lambert. Phil is in the next room waiting for you. As for Wallingsworth, he is all settled with, and will continue to make his machines. WII 1 PER ’2 8 Th SMy ‘hlirst appearance on the Stage My first appearance on the stage was to be the time of my life. I'd never been on the stage acting alone before. I had always been in conversa- tion or just there to fill up space for someone, so I had never before experienced that dread disease, stage fright. However, I felt no qualms at having to do the unthinkable, until the night of the long-looked-for event, the Christmas Cantata, in which I was to “do my 3tuff as an old woman of antique times. Everything progressed wonderfully, until finally it was my turn to stammer over the too brilliant footlights. I had already voiced my opinion to my many maids. I was not afraid to go before a hooting audience with my none-the- worse-for-wear costume handed down from the days of Evangeline. There! T he stage was cleared! Now was my chance to show the city of Pardeeville all, and more, than could be expcted from a professional comed- ian. 1 wabbled out to the front in the halting steps of an old woman [the steps I’m afraid were too natural for my knees were beginning to show terrific signs of revolt.] My feet also were bent in their intentions to go through the nearest exit to freedom. I stuck, regardless of the many oppositions offered by my lower append- ages, and went through my song in a somewhat high pitched voice. Would my old man never come? At la3t he came striding down the stage, and my anxiety was decreased tenfold. 1 could now get in touch with his foolish antics and neither of us would have to say much. While he sang his song 1 again fooled around until 1 had completely gained my composure, but even then the bones in my knees rattled and hit together, making an almost resounding clang through the none too quiet audience. All things must sometime come to an end as did this. 1 was once more back of the stage rejoicing at the end. Since that time I have been in many things, but I’ve never forgotten that fir t exhibition of my map on the stage.
