That is why certain drugstores attract and retain an unusual share of regular family trade. The public comes to realize that these stores can l e depended upon to protect the interests of their customers in every way. We can justly say that our store is so favored and we feel that it will pay you to make this your regular family drug store. Mueller’s Drug Store The Old Ramsey Pharmacy Reedsburg, Wis.

Schoephoester Bernard Hughes Hugo Siefert BOOK 3 Foot Ball The Foot Ball season of J904 opened with the appearance of twenty-five candidates ranging from heavyweights to lightweights and clad in uniforms varying from moleskin to overalls. Never before was a squad of this size seen upon a Reedsburg campus. This great number of candidates and the interest shown was due to the superior coaching system together with the anticipation of the new gymnasium and lockerrooms. Light practice was indulged in for a period of one week to give the men a tryout and enable the coach to size up the material. At the end of this time a team was selected and a few signals given in view of the fact that a practice game had been scheduled with the Elks of Madison on the local field. The game proved to be a good tryout for the High School boys and was won by a score of 12 to 0. After this initial contest it was found advisable to make many changes in the line up so that the team that formed against Richland Center the following Saturday presented an entirely different appearance. The long forty-mile drive to Richland Center evidently had no enervating elects for the light Reedsburg team was able to pile up a score of 44 to 0 on their heavy opponents. Notwithstanding the fact that no game was scheduled for the following Saturday the men worked harder than ever for they were determined to give Sparta a rub in a game to be piayed the middle of October. Sparta proved to be an able contestant and were able to hold the score down to a tie. No sooner was the contest over with than immense preparations were made for a game with ourcld time rival, Baraboo. For two solid weeks the boys indulged in the fiercest practice ever seen on a Reedsburg gridiron. The day of the contest finally arrived and with a squad of fifteen men we invaded the enemy’s territory paying no heed to their admonition to keep out. Although Baraboo had succeeded in ruling out our star full back we nevertheless stepped onto their field and from the first note of the referee’s whistle until the call of time fought most valiantly. For a time it seemed as if Reedsburg would be the victor but we being compelled to put in four substitutes in the second half it enabled Baraboo to get the upper hand. The game ended with a score of 16 to 6. After this severe contest the team had an easy time of it until preparations were begun a week in advance for the Thanksgiving game with the University of Wisconsin Engineers. Two weeks of light practice seemed to have a good effect upon the boys for they played like young tigers. By most excellent team work we were able to defeat the ditch diggers from the University by a score of 11 to 5. After posing for their picture the team chose F. H. Camp as captain for the coming season and closed this year with best wishes for coach E. J, Haumerson. —GLEN V. RORK Foot Ball Team First Row- E. J. Haumerson, Coach Arthur Van Akin, Sub.

Should you ask us, why this picture? Who these girls with smiling faces, Who these damsels fair and winsome. With the look of might and bravery. With the air of whim and valor? With the poise of health and vigor? We should answer, we should tell you. “From among the city students, From away out on the Ridge, From the brick house on the State Road, From the quarries of the Narrows” These gay girls have come together Here to roam in paths of knowledge. Here to learn the art of throwing In a basket made of fish line. 11. On the west side of the campus. In the mild days of September, After school they used to gather. Here the coach, with voice decisive. With the sand up to her shoetops Stood erect and called the lassies, Called this tribe of girls together. Here they took their first instructions, Learned the rules and regulations Of the game so widely practised 'Mong the girls of other cities. 111. When the days grew short and dreary And the “gym” was all completed, Then they moved their ball and trappings To more civilized apartments. Now with courage, nothing daunted. Like brave knights they traveled westward, But ere many hours had vanished, Through the far resounding building. Through the crowd of anxious gapers Rang a cry of exultation, Reedsburg girls had been defeated. IV. Day by day they worked and practised. Day by day their skill grew greater, Grew more swell their guards and center, And the forwards learned more surely How to dodge opponent players. Now they play with greater bravery Any team who sends a challenge. Give a cheer for nimble Hazel, Yell once more for Bel! and Maggie, Shout again for Jess and Jocie, Give three cheers and then a tiger For coach Kellogg and her players. —JESSAMINE SAINSBU.VT.

Perry Grace Cady BOOK 5 Class History In September of the year 1901 about fifty members entered the Freshman ranks of the Reedsburg High School. Ours was an exceptional class in every way. It was the largest class ever enrolled in the Reedsburg High School; and more than that, no class at the time of its entrance, or since, could compare with it either in intellect or mischief. It was that kind of a class which seems scarcely to need organization. Gifted with good judgment and a united purpose, it did not feel the need of any bond till the latter part of the Junior year, when the first meeting of the class of ’05 was held, its officers elected, and a class pin chosen. This tardy organization does not indicate any lack of class patriotism. Every member of '05 remembers with pride the strifes of ’02, when its loyal members painted '02 and ’04 red, and raised on high '03 and '05—how all the members of the class wore skull and cross bones for days to show their loyalty. In September 1901 our class numbered fifty. To-day it numbers twenty-three. As it stands, the class is a beautiful illustration of the proof of that theory of evolution which is expressed by the phrase, “The Survival of the Fittest. These members have braved the stormsof the past four years with indomitable courage; have faced the plentiful supply of lectures, temporary suspensions, apologies, etc. with cheerful, innocent, and ofttimes smiling faces, and step into the world to-day unscathed, in spite of being “born short as the former excellent principal was accustomed to tell ’05. Probably the most important event in the lives of the members during the four years was a June day spent in the Armory, where the entire class met and devoted the day to debating whether it is really more blessed to give than to receive. The matter was finally compromised by donating the sum of seven cents apiece to the class of ’04 for decorating purposes. The wisdom of the action cannot be fully determined until the class of '06 holds its Junior Armory meeting. No matter what they are engaged in, the members of ’05 have an end in view. They work for results. This admirable trait has been brought out nowhere so clearly as in their laboratory, and in no experiment so clearly as in that of the geyser. The geyser would not work. The boys worked industriously. They tried to increase the heat so that the water would boil faster, but to no avail. Finally one of the grave and reverend seniors rose and declared that results must be obtained somehow, and at once, and that he would take charge of the matter himself. He did, and results were obtained. Should anyone wish to know how ’twas done—do not look in the laboratory note books, it isn’t there—but ask some member of the ’05 Physics class. That the class of '05 possesses exceptional talents is indisputable, and to prove it one needs but to mention the names of the political speaker, and of the great orator, who during the dreamy moments which he spends in the main room gazing at the ceiling murmurs Rome! Rome! Rome! or with clenched fist mutters J upiter! Juno! etc. Equally famous are the comedian, the illustrator, and the Sweet soprano who often leads the singing in the morning. These are but a few of the many. Not a member of that class but what possesses some talent peculiarly his own, if it be nothing more than the grace with which he wears his gymnasium suit or his goggles. During the past four years it has been the class of ’05 which has been the “backbone” of Castalia, Laurea, Webster, Athenaeum, and the Athletic Association; which has been the leader in foot—base—and basket ball, field, track, oratorical, and theatrical work. It is the class of ’05 which is called into requisition whenever characters for a play are to be chosen, whenever a joint debate has been called, or an oratorical contest to take place. As no rose is without its thorn, no life without its burden, so, too, the past four years have not been without their sorrow. In May 1901, several of the boys of the class went down to the river, to watch the high water and have a swim. One of them never came back, and four days later, surrounded by his schoolmates, Claude Busch was laid at rest. He had been a brave, happy soldier and he fell, leaving in the ranks, a gap never to be filled. It is often said, “Times of peace do not make history.” No such calamity has befallen the class of '05. There has been no peace for principal, teachers, lower classes, or even for the class of '05 itself for the last four years. There has been a continual cry of Peace! Peace! but there has been no peace. AM in all it has been an excellent preparation for the battle of life. —GRACE RAYMOND CADY The High School Building To the people of Reedsburg a written description of our beautiful new High School is unnecessary, but to those who have not had the pleasure of looking upon it, a short description may be interesting. It is erected where the old building stood, which site is in the extreme northern part of the city. Situated as it is upon a high hill, it stands, as a great citadel overlooking Reedsburg and its beautiful homes, which line the streets leading from its main street to the building. It is plain but massively constructed of pressed Milwaukee brick with trimmings of red sand stone. Upon entering the building one is first impressed by the beautiful corridors with their huge oak columns, the various grade rooms on either side, and the gymnasium, complete with its shower baths, lockers, and running track. On the third floor are the newly furnished offices, the library, recitation rooms, the well lighted assembly room, where there are seen statues and other works of art that have been contributed by interested patrons of the school, and last, but by no means least, the well equipped laboratories, which are said to be furnished among the best in the state. With all of these things goes every modern convenience such as drinking fountains in various places, electricity for all lighting purposes, and a perfect system of ventilation. The surroundings are all that could be desired. Located in one of the quietest portions of the city, there is little to distract the attention of the pupils. The grounds are extensive. On the North side is a good Athletic field, while on the South side there is a beautiful lawn with shade trees. The view from the auditorium is almost unequaled, for one can look down upon the city and its surrounding country as from some lofty fortress. Surely this magnificent structure should be an incentive for good work, not only to the present generation, but likewise to all who shall come after. —FRED C. GRABNER. Class Song Air: “My Lodging is in the Cold Ground. ' Music composed by Johann Thieman Words by Miss Mellen As the voyager turns with a love longing gaze To the hills that are fading behind, How swift come the thoughts of his earlier days, To people the chambers of mind. Fond memory gilds every summit of blue. With a flush of a sunset of gold, And the vision still lingers when lost to the view. Old ocean holds all in his fold. And thus as our bark we’re unmooring to-day And Hope breathes a flattering wind, No joys in the future regret can allay, For those we are leaving behind. All brightly they glitter in memory’s sheen, As cliffs in the tints of the morn. No pleasures before us more dimlessand keen. Than those that shall never return. But Duty calls onward: A sigh for the past, And a cheer for the great gone before Still upward and onward we’ll climb till at last The laurels are ours which they wore. Here’s a hand classmates all! with the heart as we go And a friendship we never must stain, And these halls that are dear we may ne’er again know, Yet we shall live in them—as then. Athenaeum That all the young ladies of the High School might receive benefit along the rhetorical line, it was thought best to organize a second girls society as the membership limit of Laurea had already been reached. Accordingly on the seventh of November, five students met and drew up a constitution for the new society. The drafting members were Merry Hanko, (chairman), Lillias Brooks, Ruby Cone, Eva Powell and Grace Bates. Since that time the membership has increased until at present there are forty-three members. The first officers were, Pres. Merry Hanko, Vice Pres. Belle Smith, Sec’y Ruby Cone, Censor Eva Powell, Treas. Hazel Phillips, Board of Councilors Nellie Horkan, Lillias Brooks and Grace Bates. After a successful term of office the members of Athenaeum held a second election, the results of which were. Pres. Eva Powell, Vice Pres. Alice Black, Sec’y Catharine Me Donnell, Censor Merry Hanko, Treas. Nellie Root, Board , of Councilors Stella Langland, Ethel Vayette and Hazel Phillips. The third election of the year resulted in the Freshmen securing the greater number of offices and will doubtless have much influence on the work next year, as there will be many members of experience. The officers at present are: Pres. Belle Smith, Vice Pres. Hazel Phillips, Sec. Grace Bates, Treas. Catherine McDonnell, Censor Margaret Hughes, Board of Councilors Merry Hanko, Ruby Cone and Minnie Stoll. While the history of the Athenaeum is short and rather monotonous, the meetings have been exactly opposite. The size of the organization will probably bring about great results in the future and in a short time Athenaeum will doubtless be “the society of the Reedsburg High School. —MERRY HANKO Webster In the year J902 several boys of the high school and W. P. Roseman met in Room 2' of the building to begin discussions regarding the advisability of organizing a new debating society in place of the disbanded 'Senate'. The first meeting accomplished little toward the organizing of the society, but enough interest was aroused in the hearts of all present to assure the success of the undertaking. At length work on the new standing rules was begun, and after days of hard work a thorough well organized constitution under the name of the Webster Debating Society was framed. This ccnstitution placed the limit at thirty members and provided that a meeting be held on Wednesday of each week. On the evening of December 5th, 1902, in the parlors of the Hotel Stolte the first meeting of the Charter members took place. Those present were W. P. Roseman, Fred Swetland, William Liessmann, Christian Schneider, Irvin Townsend, Glen Rork, Riley Stone, Albert Fuchs, John Conley, Arnold Hagenah, and August Langenhan. By motion of Wm. Liessmann, Fred Swetland was nominated and elected temporary chairman. The meeting was opened with the reading of the constitution by W. P. Roseman. After the proper motion was made the constitution was unanimously approved and adopted, and the society at once proceeded to elect officers. The boys chosen were Pres. Wm. Liessmann, Vice Pres. Fred Swetland, Sec'y Riley Stone, Treas. Christian Schneider. Alter briefly going through the order of business the society adjourned its first meeting. The second meeting of the young organization was again held in the hotel parlors, and five new members were elected which made the total enrollment fifteen strong. Before adjourning a committee was appointed to look up a suitable meeting place with instructions to se-cure some hall in the down town district. The following Wednesday the president and secretary posted a notice which stated that the next meeting of the Webster society would be held in the Kindergarten rooms at the rear of the T. R. Young building. These proved to be commodious quarters, but as the rooms were not at the service of the club each Wednesday evening it was decided to use them temporarily until another place could be obtained. After a thorough investigation the committee reported to the club that the best available place was the Saengerbund hall located in the H. F. Schewe building. This place was not all that could be wished, but as it was the best available the meetings were held here the remainder of the year. On the second Thursday of September the club held its first meeting of the school year of lc 03-04 in the old high school building. Of the thirty members nineteen were still in school and thus a good nucleus was at hand for the society. As there was great Webster timber in school this year the enrollment was soon completed. This year the Websterites worked as never before; thorough preparations were required in all debates, parliamentary practice was almost perfect, orations were delivered in true oratorical style and everything was carried out in a true business-like manner. In June the organization completed a most successful term and adjourned until September 1 04. With the return of the teachers and pupils in the fall the spirit of the Websters began to show itself and society work was taken up at once. Besides this, the thought of having commodious quarters prompted the members to action, now under the most favorable circumstances, with a complete library, with good material and with an excellent meeting place there was breathed anew into the society the spirit of life. Not for one minute has this spirit waned, for at the present day we have a most excellent representative literary society. —EWALD H. MEYER. Laurea The Laurean Society of the Reedsburg High School was organized October 1J, 1904, with a charter membership of twenty-five. Officers were elected, a set of temporary rules adopted, and the first regular meeting was held October 20th, J904- A committee was appointed to draw up the Constitution, which was read and approved Dec. 3rd, 1901. The membership which is restricted to forty, has, at present, reached thirty-six. A literary program is rendered once a week on Thursday evenings at which debating is the order of the day. On February 23, '05, Laurea met and defeated Webster in a debate in acceptance of the latter’s challenge. This is another feather in Laurea s cap; for last year Laurea, under the name of Castalia, won the same honor. A primary oratorical contest was held in the society March 2, 1 05, when three members of Laurea were chosen to represent the society in the Inter-Society Contest which took place March 21, 1905, and in which Laurea took second. —GRACE CADY. Alumni With the approach of Commencement, the thoughts of every Alumnus, turn to their Alma Mater; and so with our interest in that direction, we recall to our memories the best and happiest times of our lives— the days spent “on the hill.” Would that they were back again! But they are past forever, and over every Alumnus of our Alma Mater there comes a tinge of regret as our thoughtsgobacktotho.se days when the Future held out her beckoning hand to Ambition. Time can never blot from our memories, those strivings to reach the coveted goal. Discouragement many a time seemed Port Arthurs, but with the pluck, the courage, and stick-to-it-ive-ness of a Jap, our “Onward and Upward made it a final Victory. It is indeed interesting to many to know something concerning the Alumni of the Reedsburg High School and so 1 secured as best I could the vocations and number engaged respectively. The graduates of our high school commencing with the class of '75 up to and inclusive of the class of 1904 number J8fc . These are engaged in their various callings as follows: Foreign Missionaries 2; preachers 2; physicians dentists 5; professors in the U. of W. 2; lawyers 6; engineers 4; bookkeepers and stenographers 12; teachers 38; business men 4; farmeis 3; housewives 41; attending college 16; engaged in miscellaneous occupations47; deceased 4- The First class—Class of ’75; the Largest class—Class of 1901, 17; the Smallest classes—Classes of ’88 ’93, 2 each; the Best Looking class—Class of 1899; the Motherly class—Class '94; the Smartest class ? As has been stated the class of ’75 was the first to step from the portals of our educaticnal institution forth into Life’s broad field, saying “We are Seven”. And well may our Alma Mater be proud of her first products, for all haveachieved success, prominently among these, Dr. J. L. Thomas until recently, Missionary to Siam, and J. A. Stone, attorney at law, of this city. The year following the exit of the illustrious class of '75, our Alma Mater failed to give to the world her quota. Inquiring as to the reasons of this, I was informed by a member of the aforesaid class that it took them two years to recuperate after the graduation of their class, and we trust now that this explanation has cleared up the “mystery” and may the class of '77 glory in the fact that she was second to NONE. Year after year has passed but our high school has never since failed to graduate her share, who have plainly demonstrated that it is not what an education can do for a man, but what a man can do with an education, that counts. It is not until the ship is launched that a test of its ability is made. So even with every graduate of the Reedsburg high school. To those who are fitting themselves for this test, the advantages of our High School Education cannot be too forcibly impressed upon their minds. The opportunities for a high school education have never been greater. With such an excellent curriculum as our Alma Mater affords; with the best teachers to train and instruct; it is simply mental suicide to those who do not accept them. How many we meet today who are trying Maud’s tactics on themselves for not having become Alumni of the high school. What an interesting book it would make to have the history of each class. Space, however does not permit to go in detail with the several classes. It is sufficient to say that every class has upheld the standard of our Alma Miter which has given her the prominent place, which she now occupies among her sister schools. In 1886 was organized the Alumni Association of the Reedsburg High School which has for its object the following taken from its Constitution: “The objects of this association shall be to keep alive and perpetuate that cordial and kindly feeling which shall bind us together, by reason of our common Alma Miter; to encourage the interchange of friendly and professional opinion; to promote the intellectual, moral and social progress of its members; to elevate the standard of education in our Alma Mater, and to watch closely her interests; and also to secure to the institution a record of the professional history of its Alumni. Nearly twenty years has this organization fostered the graduates of our high school. The geniality of its annual banquet has always been an event looked forward to with the pleasantest anticipation, and has secured for itself a prominent place in commencement week “doings . To the class of 1905, we of the Alumni, extend a most hearty welcome to enter into the fellowship of our association, and to help keep alive and perpetuate that cordial and kindly feeling which shall bind us together by reason of our common Alma Mater. —EDMUND HUEB1NG, Class 1901. “On the Side” Student:- The stability of the Egyptian pyramids is due to their great bases.

Athletic Association At the advent of Mr. Roseman as Superintendent of our schools in '98, Athletics were first introduced and assumed the distinctive features for which they have since become prominent. The Athletic Association, comprising all the members of the High School was soon organized. Its officers duly elected, and the student body evinced an eager desire to enter the new field. Track teams were first established and although no great progress was made during the first season, the team of '00 succeeded in carrying away the honors of the meets with Baraboo and Prairie du Sac. In the following year the team won second place in the triangular meet at Baraboo, in which the team mates of the renowned Hahn scarcely succeeded in wresting the first place for the club at Portage. In this same year Reedsburg was well represented at the Interscholastic at Madison, asshe has been since. Each year the contestants have returned with points. The team was most successful in J904, when, among the representatives of over a hundred High Schools by the work of five of our members we captured fifth place. In the fall of '00 the citizens of Reedsburg witnessed a foot ball game for the first time. The team won but little prominence until taken in charge by Mr. Hannon of Notre Dame, and it won a most enviable reputation in 1902. It has since proven a great success as shown by the number of victories gained. In the fall of 1903 the squad was placed under the suerpvision of Mr. Haumerson and the science of foot ball was developed. The excellent training of the coach was plainly noticeable from the number of victories gained under his supervision. The squad received the benefits of the experience of their coach on the Western Champion Eleven of ’01. Baseball has been introduced and although no great victories have been gained, great benefits have been derived therefrom. At the completion of the gymnasium in the new building. Athletics received a fresh impetus and basket ball was entered into with a vim and spirit that none but Athletics can instill. —WERNER RAETZMANN THE 1904 TRACK TEAM The first meet of the J904 Track Season was held on April 30th with Lodi High School. This meet was too much of a walk-away to be interesting and when the results were added up it was found that the score stood Lodi 18, Reedsburg 78. The Board of Directors next decided to let a team go to Whitewater if the boys would pay their own expenses and take the risk of getting their money back. Accordingly four of the boys made the trip and, although they were oblidged to ride about ninety miles and had only a lunch for dinner, succeeded in winning third place defeating teams from Janesville, Madison and other large cities. On May 28th Madison came up to show Reedsburg that the Whitewater meet was all an accident, but the home team must have had a rest and a substantial dinner as they made 62 points while Madison scored 47. The team was in the best condition of the season at this time as was shown by the records made. The best performances of the day were,-100 yd. dash-10 sec.-220 yd. dash-22 4-5 sec. High Jump-5 ft 4 1-2 in. and Shot Put 44 ft. 6 in. A strong wind blowing up the track aided the sprinters but nevertheless the Madison Athletes ran in the same direction. On the following Saturday the Interscholastic was held at Madison where the Reedsburgers again made a good showing, taking sixth place with 9 points. While not a financial success the J904 Track Season demonstrated that the Reedsburg High School could put out a Track Team able to make a creditable showing anywhere in the State. What the Team lacked in numbers wasamply made up for in spirit which seemed to be the greatest cause of their success. —JOSEPH SWETLAND, Class 04 Ye Laye of Ye Lande.
