Patterson Civics and Asst, in Commercial Branches A Brief History In the spring of 1845, two men bade farewell to their loved ones in the little city of Xenia, Ohio, and started with a four horse team on a journey thru the wilderness and over the plains towards the west, in quest of better land. Winding their way over the little used trails, the men came thru the Narrows of the Baraboo, and after another day's journey they emerged from the hills out upon a Hat prairie, dotted here and there by the wigwams of the Winnebago Indians, groves of massive pines, and whose fertile sand was lapped by the clear water of the Baraboo. The wanderers discovered that the river had a rock bottom, and at the place where the railroad bridge now stands, they crossed the narrow ford and proceeded. Standing on the knoll where the present grandstand is both men were spell bound by the beauty of the land, and there it was that James W. Babb, the first white settler in Keedsburg, with a cry of joy stuck his pole into the ground and said, “Kirkpatrick, here is the place where I stick my stake.” The men now proceeded to stake out their claim and build their home. In the fall after its completion, and leaving all his belongings with the Indians, Mr. Babb went back to Xenia for his wife. In 1Mb, he returned with his two sons and Stern Baker and wife. The journey was of Reedsburg made in one six horse team and one two horse team which was driven from Ohio to Wisconsin by a woman. The country was wild and dreary. Bears and deer were plentiful. The nearest railroad station was 120 miles away. The nearest white neighbor to the Bab s was Don Carlos Berry, who in 1 44 had discovered copper in the land surrounding Copper Creek, and had there put up his Coppermine. The copper ore from this mine was hauled by teams of oxen to Mineral Point, Wisconsin. Prom this time until the town of Reedsburg was established in 1 50, the population increased to 114 persons. During this period, David ( Reed settled on this side of the Baraboo, and it was for him our city was named Reedsburg. He built a dam and a saw mill where our woolen mill now is. In 1 4 . the famous Shanty Row” was built. At this time the land about t ’e river was so marshy that one could actually catch sunfish where W A Stolte’s office in the Big Store now is. So Shanty Row ' faced a mire in which many a person was often to have been caught and been compelled to measure his length in a pleasant plaster of mud. In 1849 the first resident min istcr, James Saxby, a Congregationalism came to Reedsburg and largely due to his efforts the first tabernacle was buil. in 1 55. His daughter Amanda opened t .e first school that same year, and though private in nature her pupils numbered 31. In 1856, a school house was built about on the spot where our present High School now stands, anti after its destruction by tire in l tW a larger and better one was built which was displaced by our pres ent building in 1603. Research work disclosed the fact that the first teacher in Babb s Prairie, a certain Jerusha D� wy. received $1.75 p-r week for her services, and b cirded “round with her pupils. In the year 1850, the township of Reedsburg was established. In 1851 occurred a rather famous war with Baraboo known as the “Log War. The trouble centered about the floating of logs down the river. It might actually have ended with blows had not the I’. S. Marshall arrived and ordered the dam cut and the logs released. The cut ting of the dam was a vital blow to the then foremost industry in Reedsburg. and seemed a forecast of the harder times which came the following summer and winter. The following facts illustrate the way one family was compel led to grate its corn for its bread thru that gloomy period. An oi l wash butler was taken and holes punched in it with a pieJe of iron and across the ragged edges thus poked the corn was scraped. Think of what a crude way’ During the autumn of 1855 R. edsburg was the center of a big gold rush. L. Gay Sp rry ownel the village block wh re St. Peter’s church now stands, which he was very auxi � us to sill. He devised the following plan. A letter was prepared purporting to have been written from hng-la id to a friend in Cincinnati, telling of a band of robbers who had ascended the Mississippi, had landed on the eastern bank and had proceeded to a certain point on the Bar-a boo where they had hidden under a stick of charred wood, a huge pot filled with gold. Then followed minute directions as to the place where the treasure lay concealed. This paper was sealed and dropped in some underbrush near the residence of Mr. W. in Beaver Dam. Soon after it was discovered by him. He went to the hotel and there finding the name to whom the letter was addressed on the register, determined to start at once for Reedsburg. On the way he met Judge M. to whom he communicated his business and who determined to go with Mr. W. and come in for his share of the gold. Onided by the directions on the paper they decided the hidden treasure was on Mr. Sperry's lot and so started negotiations at once for the property. Hut Mr Sperry said lie had been offered $2300 for it and so Mr. W. was forced to pay $2400. What was that, when that very ni«ht they would find a heap of gold? Late that evening several men with gunny sacks and lanterns met on the S. W. corner of Mr. Sparry’s lot and digging was begun. Mr. W. struck the charred wood and cried. “Hand down the bags Sam, I've struck gold. Let it suffice to say that they left sadder if not wiser men when they realized that they had been in the midst of a swindling case, which is declared to have no equal in this part of the country. In 1 00, the population of Reedsourg was 500. The next few years hop raising became a paying occupation, for hops rose steadily in value up to One but in 1 0 the crash came and they were sold for lie p r pound. When the Civil War broke out Reedsburg furnished her proportion among whom was a little drummer boy, Frank Pettyes, who was but 11 years old, and whose privilege it was to Ik known as the youngest person who took part in the War of the Rebellion. In 1 6 , Reedsburg was incorporated as a village and the first election took place in April of that year. Let us briefly review the history of industrial Reeds burg. When Win. Dierks built the stone house now known at the A. L. Harris home in 1870, people called him a fool for building a home so far out in the wilderness. On New Year's day 1872, the first locomotive passed thru Reeds-burg. It is rather interesting to note that this train waited at the village of Lodi while one man got off and fought with another. The first newspaper, “The Herald,” was published in 1856. The first post office was established in a dry goods store in 1840. The first hotel known as the ('lark House was built in 1 50 where the present Reineke House stands. The Central House ouilt by Alba Smith in 1 50, reminds us of a peculiar fact, namely though it stood one foot lower than the present Hotel Stolte, four steps led up to the front door. In 1 6 . a permanent bank was founded. In 1 71 the saw mill was transformed into a stave mill, but in I 2 this was torn down and our present woolen mill erected. In 1 7H a tire company was organized. In 1 72 A. P. Filin wood fenced in some land on the West Side with the purpose of holding a fair there. When til. first fail was held in 1 74. 5000 people attended and ! :.) entries were made. In 1849 tile first bridge ?s uilt across the Bara boo, but not until 1 77 was our presen • ne erected. The first frame house was built in 1 19. two years later the first brick building where our Reed-burg Bunk now stands. The first store was built in 1h50. We must not ignore John Kellogg's grocery store which stood where Darrenougue’s Jewelry Store now stands, and which in 1860 was heavily loaded with an invoiced stock of $68.-10. In 1 7 fire destroyed all the stores from Thiemann’s corner to the Auction House. It is said that the heat from this fire was so great as to bake the apples in the store windows across the street. Today Reedsburg is a bustling city of 8tXX): When the first settlers came they found a marsh and a clear swift river. Today we boast of our wide fine streets, our beautiful homes, but not of our river. The little lake which was once where the present training school is. has gone. Today we have a splendid educational system, fine churches, a pretty public library, and stores such as are seldom found in a city of our size. Easy communication and transportation are ours; we light our houses with electricity and warm them by furnaces. The early settlers often bent over their children all night long to protect them from the cold, ami as for lighting, a candle was almost considered an extravagance. We love our little city, we are proud of it, we boast of it. and may we all do something for it. R. L. S. 14. Cakcilia M.

Flower Colors Yellow Hose Purple and Hold Yell We‘re the last. We'ie the lK st, Seniors Seniors. Yes! Yes! Yes! On September 7, 1909, fifty-five timid shrinking: Freshmen, with diplomas clasped tightly in hand, knocked at the door of the Reeds burg High School and asked to be admitted with the elect. Who will ever forget that memorable tirst day, how we got into the Junior and Senior class rooms and how tin) and insignificant we did seem! Our class, as Freshmen, was noted for two things, namely, its size, being the largest class ever entered here, and its class party, something never heard of before, which was given in the Gym, to the envy of all the other classes. The Sophomores, instead of hazing us, took us under their protecting wing and proceeded to initiate us into all the fun and follies of the underclassmen, and many were the seats changed and the promises made before the influence of those Sophs wore off! When we returned again to school in 1910, how much older and wiser we felt and how we did lord it over those green freshies! The class, however, soon entered into tin-oblivion common to all Sophomore classes. When we reached our Junior year, the class roll had shrunk to thirty two,—thirty-two hard-working, earnest and withal happy hearted girls and boys. During our Junior year oratorical honors were won by one of our n embers—Henry Powell—who was the school representa tive at the league Contest. Nearly every year our class ias ranked the highest in quarterly average. 1912 finds us Seniors at last, and with the very name we feel an added responsibility. We have successfully weathered the rocks of Geometry, and, given proper con-litions, we expect to be able to prove two triangles equal •ven when we are old and grey and other generations are puzzling over these problems. We are now struggling in he rapids of Physics and although few of us can construct in electric bell or run a steam engine, we all have come to .ealize the sad truth of tin law “that for every action there is a reaction, equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.” We are supposed, by this time, to have lost all signs of timidity and ignorance and to have acquired a dignity of bearing and wisdom of manner more befitting our maturer years and calmer judgment, yet we are still as tun-loving as ever and ready for a lark any time. Two short months and we will say good-bye to our dear old school and go out into the world to gain further knowledge or to earn our own living. We will never for. get the four happiest years of our life years of work, of play, of enjoyment, years which have broadened our life in every sense and which have taught us that great end of all education righ living. Happy as we will in to have completed the High School coarse, everyone of us will leave school next May with a feeling of sadness and re gret, sadness that those care-free happy days of our youth can never be again, and regr rt'that we must L ave so many dear friends and classmates. Many and helpful are the lessons we have learned during these four short years and we owe much to our able instructors whose influence and good example have guided our actions and helped shape our characters, and no matter what we do in the future, or where we shall be, in the storms of the years to come we will ever be mindful of our High School struggles and victories and how we have won and always expect to win Success Through Difficulties. It • • limi ] V i • i The Class of Returning after an absence of fifteen years to the city of Reedsburg I found everything much changed- On the night after my arrival I chanced to pass by the old High School building, and as I drew near the old, familiar place I noticed, to my intense surprise, that a group of some twenty or thirty people were assembled on the lawn. They were seated in a se ni circL around a blazing ca np fire and I w ndered what this gathering meant. Hut, as the tlicce ii' rays of firelight shed its ruddy glow on each fa I lomprehended it all in a second. It was a reunion of tn. Classof 1913. Ithen happily joined the gathering and in due time found out where each individual had been and what cacti had accomplished during this long period of separation. Malvin Davis, it seemed, had made himself famous in the wrorld of Exploration and Discovery. In the year 1h20 lie discovered a new continent the like of which no one had ever even dreamed. He explained further that he was contemplating an expedition to the East Pole. Phillip Schweke, it was said, had, soon after completing lign School, contracted the terrifying disease called “verbomania” and physicians had pronounced his a hopeless case. I recall that even in his early school days Phillip showed a remarkable tendency toward this disease. 1913 in 1928 Florence Thompson for a time seemed to have completely disappeared. It was revealed later that she had become a most noted critic. Chief among her interests was the criticizing and revising of Dante’s and Shakespeare’s works. Later, I was informed that the original works were abolished entirely and Florence's versions placed into the hands of the whimsical public. Forest Vayette had. as a writer of poetry, fulfilled the great expectations of his friends and teachers. His poems, so I was told, were of the most simple and alluring type, and his efforts had brightened many a desolate home. Among his most noted ones were, “If I Were a Hird, “Dotty Dimple,” “Hoses Red,” “The Private Cutter.” and a series of Lullaoys, all of which were dedicated to his wife. Fate, it seemed dealt harshly with Walter Brown. He accidently stepped too near a tire while kindling it, and “Sparks” became attached to him. In spite of his frantic efforts to free himself, he was a doomed man. He died shortly alter. Soon after leaving High School Walter Donahue and John Flynn were seized with a “Wanderlust.” They set out on foot, intending to take a trip around the world, but after a few days absence they returned to their native city with tears of joy in their eyes. They decided to remain in old Reedsburg for the rest of their days and were glad to join in the 1928 reunion of their class. Dorothy Hawkins had become noted for her literary works. Chief among her valuable collection she said was “The Vast Iron Mines of Ironton. A copy of it has been' placed in all the up-to-date High Schools. Clarissa Henry, one person related, devoted the first ten years of her life after leaving High School to writing a sketch of her life. In spite of its many thrilling passages, it failed to please the critical public. Recently she was seen in La Valle starring in “The Pink Lady and “Francis II.” Ruth Sparkes fearing to venture out in the cold, wide world had decided to remain in Reedsburg for a time. She pursued the occupation of a saleswoman and had accumulated a vast fortune by selling Hix ley’s English Mustard. She said that she expected to follow this profession as her life's work. Disgusted with life and the ways of the world, Gretchen Aton and Elva Schuette had started out one bright, sunny day for the Island of Majorca in the Mediterranean Sea. Whether they ever reached their destination remains an unknown fact, for not one of the company present could inform me as to their fate. Henry Powell, after coming to grief in trying to invent a new sort of .frying machine had turned to the occupation of salesman. He made a specialty of selling Wriglcy’s Spearmint Gum. He had attained his highest ambition, so he told us that night and was content and at peace with the world. Rose Sparks, after her ;• (Unity's untimely disaster, seemed dazed for several years. She later rented a pleasant little cat Cage near the suburbs of Ableman and now lives in seclusion away from the noise and din of .he city, supremly happy in the company of her cat and dog. So deeply does she feel her great sorrow that she does not even attend her class reunions. I learned that Caecelia Thiemann was known the wide world over as the second Sarah Rernhardt. After several successful years in amateur theatrical work in High School she blossomed forth as an actress of no mean ability and does her best work in “An Old Sweetheart of Mine,” though her talent and power of interpretation is perhaps best displayed in that splendid comedy, “The Cut-up of Physics Lab.” Wesley Snydert while touring through foreign lands, was suddenly seized with a desperate resolution. On the memorable night ot .Tun � 3rd, 1920. he plunged into the seething waters of the Cispian Sea. The cause of his great sorrow remains unknown. Minnie Holtz and Nina Pelton had probably contributed more to the welfare of mankind than any other two people. They had succ ed- d in convincing the world that the present m des ot demonstrating problems in I f Geometry are entirely wrong. To prove their ability in this line of work they demonstrated several figures which was indeed enlightening, and it may be truly said that were Pythagoras living he would hang his head in humilia tion at his clumsy attempts. Mabel Wiseman in 192fi completed her education as a great prima donna ; f music in Madrid. She far surpasses either Schuman-IIeink or Tetraainni and is famed alike in all countries. She was singing, at the time of the reunion, in the Orpheum at Reedsburg. Esther Brown in 1922 entirely lo t the power of speech. This horrifying catastrophe was due to the fact that she talked too excessively. She was present, but being unable to speak. I was told by others that she had been in tin-habit of giving lectures seven nights out of a week on the subject, “How to Live to Be a Million. Glenn Miller had. soon after completing High School, become absorl� ed in her work as a mathematics teacher in Oazenovia, and was still expecting to continue her work in this place for some time. Alter securing Equal Suffrage in all the states. Ruth Shultis and Agnes Hurd, satisfied that th y had completed their mission in this world, retired immediately to the new continent. Their classmates remarked that little had been heard of them since. Ima Hastings, when asked in what way she had been successful, replied that she had been able to retain her position in the Heeds bury: Five and Ten Cent Store during all these years. She added further that she expected to continue her work until her knight appeared. Two years ago when Harnum Bailey's circus passed through Reedsburg the friends and relatives ol John Flynn were delighted to learn that he had become one of the best performers. He told the class that for ten years he had been the champion sword-swallower of th circus and far surpassed any one yet who had ever attempted to perform in this line. A wonderful instrument had been perfected by James Fadden and Floyd Hirst called the “Klectro Frog Pre server,1' by means of which a frog is restored to life after being frozen. They also informed us that experienced men lutd long been trying to find out this method, but had l ecn unsuccessful in their attempt. It seemed that the energetic souis of James and Floyd possessed an unusual capacity for this special kind of work. Ralph Kordenat. unable to be present, had, since the year 11117. begun to fail rapidly in his business career. Disappointment, however, had not rutiled the sweetness of his nature and he was still struggling on as bravely and cheerfully as ever, so his classmates said and they think that the world will yet hear of him. Wlien it came Hester Knowles’ turn to tell what she had been d ing all these years,she informed us that she had all that her heart could wish for. She had, she said, married a successful farmer who possessed a little farm near Elroy. Every year she and her husband came to Reeds-burg1 to see the circus and that really was the only time she ever got to see her old friends. And last of all I learned about Minnie Foss. I was not in the least surprised when I learned that she indeed had had a brilliant career since leaving High School. She had graduated from the University of Wisconsin. While there sli • received the highest honors of her class. She is employed at present teaching Science in one of the most noted colleges in Boston. Occasionally one sees reports in the newspapers of her wonderful intellectual ability and progress in her work The dead embers of the dying camp fire flickered dimly in th waning light, then finally died away, and as I gazed around, each face before me became indistinct and the picture gradually faded away into the darkness of the night.

What in the world is the matter with us? Nothing at all; nothing at all: Juniors, Juniors beats them all! In the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and ten. There ascended the stairs some unusually bright, Brilliant students, as Freshmen, with paper and pen. Who were soon to display the real meaning of “might. That these Freshmen were green, as all Freshmen so seem, We, with truth, would not dare contradict; But their minds seemed receptive, alert and so keen That all felt that they dealt with a very smart “click. As we now do look back, memory once more calls out The great honor which fell to our A moth. When with books in his arms, and his face in a pout. To Room C he was sent, to remaineth. Then as Sophies, we took up our work with great ease, And in all school affairs were the leaders, indeed! For our motto was forward and upward, you see. And it's quality always, not quantity leads. In that year, glory shone all around and about So that many thought genius held sway in our class; And our schoolmates and teachers were led from all doubt. When from Seniors, we many and fair honors grasped. If in the past years we have sent forth much light, It is this year we’ve set such a terrible pace That all classes will have to get up, and run tight. If they wish for some glory to get in this race. If we're numbered, you'll learn that we’re forty and more, And of male and of female quite equally mixed: It’s our hope that diplomas will reach more than two score. And from all present prospects, this seems almost fixed. Our foundation is sound, and seems quite firmly laid. For a member of '14 quite recently said. That when classification of angles is made, That among them, the classes of triangles led. And our own little “Babe” one day fell on the floor, And what laughter and giggles accompanied the sight! For to have one like Gracia fall down, caused a roar As has never been heard at a pugilist fight. It is our privilege and duty, this year. To produce the small booK which you have in your hand; And it surely has cost us some labor and fear. But we’ve done it, believe me, the best that we can. That the year is most gone makes us feel very sad; For we’ve had such i jolly old time with our work, And we’ve formed many friendships, of which we’re so glad That we hate now, around us that summer will lurk. And in days, when we all become burdened with age, And our heads shall be gray, and our faces so pale. We shall turn over life's roughly stained written page. And to 'l l we’ll tribute our deeds which ne'er failed. So my class, may you ever be loyal, anti proud Of our colors, our blue and our gold, brilliant hues; And may ever the praises for Juniors lx loud. So that others may feel that to '14 we're true. So, Hail to the class that in triumph advances! Hail to her colors, oh high may they soar! Hail to the class that with victory prances! Hail to our motto, Kxcelsior. K. L. S. 14.

History of the Class of 1915 Almost two years have elapsed since the Class of 1915, thirty-two in number, wended their way to the “Hill top’ to cope with the unknown problems of High School. During the two years of our High School life our number has increased to forty six, and we think few classes can boast of such an increase. Entering upon the duties of our first year we had a tendency to avoid study, but we were very soon cured of this disease by three or four after school s -ssions. At the beginning of our second year of High School we lost all our timidity and greenness and settled down to work in earnest. We have been prominent in oratorical work, one of our classmen being able to enter the Inter High School debate. Some of us have also entered into declamatory work. We have also been exceptionally well represented in athletics. Even when we were “Preshies we closely con tended for the championship of the classes in Basket Hall. Two of Us made the Football team this season and many of us anticipate greater possibilities in this line next year. Although we think that the past two years of our High School career have been successful in every sense of the word, as we look back over these two years we can only think how the time has flown, how much can be accomplished in a short time, and of the unlimited benefits to be derived from High School life. 1 .

Tlic Freshman Year of the Class of 1916 is now ended and we invite the attention of “The Purple and White” readers to a perusal of a history telling of our real life and actions during this year. We have made an effort to improve upon the former Freshmen, and though our effort may have been feeble, we feel it has not been in vain: for without question, in our minds at least, we have a record which is remarkable, and recommend that it be used as a guide for all future “Freshies.” Unlike some classes we did not enter this institution full of self-conceit and with a satisfied idea of our intellectual ability. Our Eighth Grade work had robbed us of the first mentioned quality, and proved to us that we possessed little of the second; so the first day of school found a group of forty-seven timid girls and boys at a loss to know just what to do, and fearful lest they should make a wrong move and thus bring upon themselves thecondem nation of the dignified upper classmen. We took our assigned places in the assembly room—our girls to the left and our boys to the right This division of our class we hated to see, for we had never in years previous, been s-parated in such a manner. Could our forces have been ’ ft united during the year we feel that we would h;. ve c nmmded more attention from every one (especially from the teach rs.) After b- ing assigned our work, we soon settled down to the busim ss of juggling x, y;m ; to the laborious composing of original themes; to the giving of antiquated Latin translations and to the stumbling through Physiography as we had never before been known to do. While perhaps no one of us “starred” in all our studies, most of us were able to do passing work in most of them, and we challenge any of our elder classmen to a contest with a few of our number on the tournament Held of a recitation. A good class spirit has shown itself throughout all our class activities. We held none very interesting and exciting meetings, and no greater evidence of the carefulness with which we did things is needed than to know with what great precaution each one of our class officers was selected. Neither were we hasty of speech in these meetings; for we meditated long and carefully on what and how we should speak. Deep thinking and excellent taste were exercised in the choice of our colors, “Purple and Gold, and in the wisdon of our motto, “Fie Can Who Thinks He Can.” We did our work in the literary societies in a very excellent manner some of us with such a degree of success that were asked to repeat the performance. In the Declamatory Contest we have won our share of the honors, for second place in the inter-class contest “looked good to us.” Poor Seniors and Sophomores, we didn't want to beat you so badly, but we could not help it. As for our part in athletics, I will say that there is a great chance for development. Though we lost most of our games of basket ball, we bore our defeat graciously, and we know of some other classes who have not done so. We were materially benefited by the exercise and practice and these we think the most important features of the game. The aim of our class has been to brighten and to invigorate the life of the school. We may have appeared a bit green to you at first, but were not we refreshing? Have we not more than once made the day seem a bit brighter to you by a hearty laugh evoked by our greenness? Has not our buoyancy of spirit and stupidity in the class room called forth the deepest resources of both teachers and older pupils, that you might better show us what to do, then how, and why? We stand now at the close of this first year, shorn of all those trying Freshman character istics which have been hiding our true selves and are hoping great things for the coming year. We believe that we have in our ranks brains of unusual caliber and minds of undevel ped resources which have thus far showed but a hint of hidden knowledge, and this fact is insignificant compared to the wonderful unfolding and development which will gradually, but surely, take place in the next three years, thus making our class a power which, when enforcing our motto, “He Can Who Thinks He Can, will do much for this school. We want to thank the official board for inviting us to contribute to its worthy annual, for it has been a rare, but worth while departure from the old maxim often quoted concerning Freshmen, “Seen, but not heard.

Dramatics The announcement th- •• � tr of t Junior Class pi v aroused the interest of the student body in High School dramatics. It also roused the opposition of the Senior Class to such an extent that the original intentions were abandoned and a High School play under the auspices of the .Inn or Class was given in its place. The play decided up.. : was the two-act farce “Mr. Bob,” and characters were chosen from the Sophomore, Junior and Senior clas es. They put in only three weens of hard drill with the assistance of Miss Habermann and at the end of that time gave a play which was a financial success and a credit to the High School. At the time of this writing the Senior Class play has not been given. The play which has been selected is “Diamonds and Hearts.” We know from the state of affairs at the present time that Miss Metcalfe and the cast of characters will put out a play of great interest to the public.

The declamatory contests held during the year were of a high standard and evoked much enthusiasm The first of the series of class contests was held Nov. 22nd. Seven young ladies from the Senior Class entered this contest. Miss llabermann of the Latin and German department acted as trainer. Miss Glenn Miller was awarded first place and Miss Esther Brown second. The Junior contest was held on Dec. 0th. Six girls who had been trained by Miss Metcalfe were on the program. First honors were given Miss Ruth Stolte and second to Miss Gracia Kerrigan. The third class contest was held by the Sophomore class. Miss Bomier of the History department assisted the five girls who appeared on this program. First and second places were won by Madeline Struebing and Edna Schulze respectively. Lastly, five Freshman girls, coached by Miss Batter son appeared in a contest held Feb. 28th. The Baldwin Silver Cup was awarded the winner. Miss Amy Cosette Ciottry. Catherine Hickey was given second honors. The climax of the season of declamatory work came on Friday evening, March 14th. At this time occurred the inter class contest in which the two winners from each of the four class contests spoke. Class enthusiasm ran high. A spirited, yet wholesome rivalry was ma le manifest. The high school assembly was profusely decorated in class colors and yells.and songs were quantitive and Qualitative. The gold medal offered by th • Oratorical Association to the winner was granted to Miss Ruth Stolte of the Junior class. Second honors were conferred upon Miss Amy Cosette Gottry of the Freshman class. These young ladies will represent the Reedsburg High School at the league declamatory contest. As this contest does not occur until after the year book is sent to press we must remain reticent as to its outcome. RUTH STOLTE Winner of Inter-Class Contest High School representative at League Contest The Oratorical Association RUTH STOLTE Vice President HENRY POWELL President JOSEPH CARROLL Secretary—Treasurer The Oratorical Association has as its aim the promotion of public speaking at the Reedsburg High School. During the yeai four class declamatory contests, one interclass contest and one oratorical contest have been held under the auspices of the Association. Large audiences were in attendance Much enthusiasm in the work has been shown. A careful comparison leads us to the conclusion that the Oratorical Association is the most successful and prosperous organizations at the Reedsburg High School. Oratory The boys of the Iteidsburg High School are not only participants in forsenic work out active in the promotion of public speech as typified in oratory. In the Forum Literary Society orations are delivered in most of the sessions. In addition to the regular work done in the literary society an annual oratorical contest is held under the auspices of the Oratorical Association. In this contest which occurred on Friday, April 4th, seven young men participated. Henry Powell, the winner, was presented a gold me lai by the Association, and will represent the local high school in the league oratorical contest in which Haraboo, Waunakee, Lodi and Keedsburg will contest for oratorical honors.

Before the opening” of school, rumors had prevailed that our school woulfl again be represented by a team and these rumors became a fact when it was announced that we would Ik permitted «o have inter-school contests. Our school has not had a representative team for two years and this fact made itself known very prominently when the call for candidates came. Of the sixteen boys who composed the squad many had never seen a football game and knew practically nothing about the rules. Many handicaps and disadvantages also arose which seemefl for a time very threatening. In spite of many difficulties the boys labored faithfully and made rapid progress. The first game was try out for tlie team and aws a played with the Alumni. The latter were defeated, 35 to 0. After a period of hard practice, in which corrections were made and defects remedied, the first real contest was played, the opposing team being the veteran Richland Center aggregation. The visitors looke l or an easy victory but the set determination of our boys could not be overcome and the result was 14 to 0 victory. The next contest was also held at Reedsburg, the visitors this time.being the fast Elroy team. The score was Is to 0 in favor of Reedsburg. 'Flit result of the game was never in doubt although our boys were at a disadvantage in having three regular men out of the lineup. The f Mowing Saturday the heavy New Lisbon team was played. The first period of the game was very close, ‘neither side being able to score. In the second half the visitors weakened and enabled Reedsburg to score two touchdowns, for fourteen points. The schedule next called for a game with the Tomah team. After a week of hard practice our boys journeyed to Tomah. This game was the most stubbornly contested of any played during the year. Reedsburg led through almost the entire game but were finally beaten by a fluke play in the last few minutes of play. The score was 13 to 7. Sparta came next. In this we were matched against a superior team, and our boys seemed stunned and unable to stop the onslaughts of the Spartans, who rolled up a score'of 27 to 0. In the second period however the boys made a creditable showing holding the visitors scoreless The seventh game brought the Lodi team and the game proved a walk-awav for Reedsburg as the visitors never proved threatening. The victory was a costly one however, as our quarterback was disabled and could not play the rest of the season. The score was 25 to 0. The next contest was a return grir.e with Richland Center team. Our boys journeyed to the site of the battle in freezing weather minus the services of three regular men and we were beaten by a single touchdown. The final and crowning game of the season was held at Reedsburg, Thanksgiving Day, the opponents being the strong Tomah Indian team. A record-breaking crowd saw this contest and it was a fitting close for the season. Our boys, although outweighed, were determined to win and completely overshadowed the Indians. The final score was IP to 51. Thus the season of 1012 with all its glories and reverses came to a close. For organizing and developing a team such as has represented our school in the past season too much praise cannot be given to our patient coach, Mr. Siewert. Truly it was no small task to form a team out of the inexperienced material, and the success of the season was due in a large measure to the untiring and earnest efforts of the coach. The results and record of the season show that Reedsburg has again taken hei former prominent place on the athletic field and here’s hoping that the future may bring to us many more creditable teams. High School Athletics here at Reedsburg lias been a much mooted question. This fact alone has been instrumental in estab lishing in our bay sports a clever and more wholesome sportsmanship. A careful consideration by those vitally interested, has not only placed in bold relief many of the disagreeable features connected with spjrts especially when inter-scholastic; but has attached a stronger emphasis to the things desirable. Wherever boys are assembled there must be some provision for consuming the excess physical energy which always aboanis. The great problin, nowcver, is to direct this energy'into the right channels so that the reaction may be healthful and wholesome instead of dissipating. It is true that High School athletic sports are still justly open to criticism an 1 modification. In the first place the exercise is unfairly and unwisely distributed among the students. Besides, it is the big healthy robust fellow who gets the time and exercise which really ought to be devoted to those more frail. In conpetitive events the slogan only too often is “victory” which is obtained only through specialization, thus making the conservation and development of good physique at least a secondary if not Athletics altogether a retiring feature. Some events are even too strenuous for the ordinary boys of High School age whose rapid growth at this period makes them susceptible to temporary and possible permanent injury from overexertion. But last and most imminent of the attending evils is the moral degeneracy likely to occur if the events are conducted by incompetent or unscrupulous managers. On the other hand, it would be an unfair treatment of the situation if only the evils were enumerated. Using this year's experience as data we have many reasons to believe that this matter also presents a highly commendable aspect. It remains an .undisputed fact that the boys who took part in the games against other schools were without exception taught many of the governing and moral rules of good sportsmanship. This in itself is an art undervalued by many an 1 understood by a few. The individual who observes a high standard in his sports cannot fail to do at least as much in all his other dealings. Besides, practically all of the parasitic habits practiced by many students, have to be entirely eliminated before eligibility is possible. Proper hours for retiring must also be observed which keeps the participant from the street or from places where his moral health is more endangered than even the physical. The philosophy of the above statement is found in the fact that a tired mind is usually insufficient to send the ordinary youth to bed, but couple with it a tired body and retirement becomes the alternate for all other desires. The argument is often advanced that the athletic boy is seeking physical proficiency and skill, and correspondingly neglecting his academic work. This danger is offset by a rigid adherence to a mininum standard upheld by the school. In our own midst it was proved that the class room requirements were met more promptly and with better results during a strenuous season of physical exercise than at any other time of the year. It is beyond all cavil that mind and body react upon each other. The mind is slovenly, slow, and inaccurate merely because the body is in a state of lethargy due to a lack of proper exercise and the consequent retarded circulation. The foregoing is not simply an argument to maintain certain athletic sports in the school just for the sake of the sports. Hut it is the best that can now be offered especially when indoor games are not in season. If some thing else could be substituted eliminating the danger tirst mentioned and supplying equal advantages it were well that such a change l e made. Hut until something better can be found the old conditions must be treated with moderation. From developments of this year we are justified in saying that the athletic situation of the school is upon a reasonably sound and wholesome basis; and it is hoped that all who are vitally concerned may cherish as their chief aim “the greatest good for the greatest number.” If the wholematter Ik- kept under strict supervision, whether the events be local or interscholastic, every boy will Ik-benefited. In addition to the benefits already mentioned the boy will have a better sense of sportsmanship which alone is a valuable asset. May the future situation Ik even more promising than the present prospects. W R. S. Girls’ Basket Ball Team Back K� w Miss Guilford, Marie Fuchs, Florence Thompson, Glenn Miller, Gretchen Aton.

A larger number of girls turned out for basket ball than in fonner years. The Sophomore girls started the ball rolling by calling a meeting of the Freshman and Sohomore girls to organize teams for practice. They arranged their teams and chose Miss Habermann as coach. This was taken in the nature of a challenge by the Senior and Junior girls and they at once organized, selecting Miss Guilford as coach. The enthusiasm of the girls was manifested by the fact that during the earlier part of the year, they had regular practice four nights each week. A number of good players leave our ranks with the departure of the class of HUH; yet it is to be hoped that just as many may enter with the advent of a new class. May the zeal of the players be strengthened next year by the hearty co operation of the rest of the school, in their search for healthy bodies and healthy minds. G. K. M. A Few Don’ts.

Reedsburg High School We need not advertise the high quality of the Reeds burg High School, for that has long been established, but we wish to dedicate this space to an invitation to the young people of Reedsburg who have finished the eighth grade and to the boys and girls in the country surrounding Reedsburg who have finished the rural school to come and take advantage of the excellent educational advantage that the high school offers. A sufficient sacrifice now of a little effort and money will mean a many times return of that expense in the future. The high school building is one of the best in the section. The labaratories are all well provided with apparatus and additional e iaip n ?nt Is a Ide I ;ach year to increase the excellence of the science work. The literary-historical and science work is strengthened very materially by the free use of the many reference books in the city library as well as those in the school. The literary societies afford excellent training in public discussion. Declamatory and Oratorical contests are held during the year. Winners of the contests go to district and state contests. Joint debates with other high schools will be secured. Next year there will be nine well qualified assistants in the high school who will give their entire time to the high school branches. The standard of the school is high and graduates are admitted to the best schools in the West without examination. The following courses are offered at the high school: English Commercial Course German Manual Training I.,atin Domestic Science The law provides that the tuition of the pupils who have secured common school diplomas shall be paid by the town from which they come provided there is no high school in the district in which they live. Text books arc furnished to pupils free of charge. A guarantee fee of one dollar is required of each student in high school which will be refunded when all text l ok� are properly returned. If pupils desire to purchase new books of the school they may do so at wholesale prices. The Reedsburg High School extends a most cordial welcome to every one who is eligible to enter high school.

Theorem: When two pet sons have the same interests in common, the result is a school room flirtation. Given: Marjoiie Willey and Henry Schneider, two Juniors of excellent standing. Required: To construct a case showing all possible construction lines. Step I—Place Henry in the seat directly opposite Marjorie’s. Step II —From Marjorie’s seat to Henry's extend a straight line of conversation (concerning Napoleon’s Wars) during the 2:15 study period. Step III—At the desk on the rostrum, have plenty of work for the teacher in charge, so that his eyes will not be directed in suspicious glances over the assembly. Step IV—Make it necessary, Marjoire and Henry con suit the same Latin Grammar, and then consult each other concerning the different forms of “and.” Proof—Two persons are said to have a case when at least one blushes, and notes fly at all times. Therefore, when two persons have the same interests in common, the result a school room flirtation. Q. E. 1).

It has been introduced by this college strictly upon its merits. It has been indorsed by the prinel| als and teachers of over one Inuitlred and lift « f the leadin ' business colleges of the country Ihhuiiinc it supplits the three print attributes of successful stenographic elTietency—sjieetl, accuracy a d legibility. It has Ireen satisfactorily demonstrated to large corjiorations in all lines of industry.

Whatever course of business training you wlsli to pursue. the most remunerative and eas est to master la Stenotypy. it require practice of course, and in this r«s|ivct is very similar to the ty|iewriter. This wonderful rapid writing machine is a very quiet running device. It weighs only eight poumis, is very serviceable in construction as well as durable. The mechanical features, uniform key depression, pleasing touch, automatic l aper feed, and adjustable rewinder, have been iierfected through the inventive genuine and mechanical skill of men of wait experience in the shorthand and ty|M?wrltcr Held. It is o|M rate l by the Stcnotypist who sits by the dictator and reports bis speech rapidly and accurately. There are only twenty-one letters of the ordinary alpbubet on the keyboard and they are uiulct the immediate control of the ten fingers. Several letters are struck and printed at the same time at an average of a word a stroke. Instead of w riting shorthand characters it prints each word out in full plain type letters, thus making it very simple and easy to read. All words, figures, fractions, decimals, punctuation marks. pro| er names, foreign words, in fact anything that can s oNien can • ? easily written at marvelous speed. The great advantage of the STKNOTN l l in addition to its speed in writing is the fact that the notes are absolutely accurate and are easily rend by any person familiar with the svstem.
