Everybody was there promptly at four o'clock. Mr. Lewis was acting chairman, but he had very little to say. It seemed that everybody wanted to speak at one time. Miss Leavitt was the first one to make herself heard, which was easily accomplished. She arose in front of the gathering, completely ignoring Robert's Rules of Order and began her plea. For at least an hour she handed them a line, which could only be equaled by Daniel Webster or Billy Sunday. In words that penetrated to the utmost depths of one’s feeling and cut like a butcher knife, she commenced her speech. For two long years I have labored in that stifling hole, where the windows are like rat holes, and the sun is unable to enter. It is so far away from the furnace that if I were to wait until heat reached it, I would starve to death. Then when the other rooms in the new addition were available I was given a cool reception in the form of that barn I have flow. It is so large that the Republican Convention could easily have been held there. The lights are so dim that if I light a candle it seems like the the White Way in New York. I want a new room that a person can sit in without being forced to wear wool socks, mittens, and sheepskins. When she had finished every one present and those in the radius of a mile heard a long and satisfied sigh. The next to address the meeting was Miss Swancutt. “I haven't much to say, but what I have got to say is this. I would like to have all boys, who cannot behave while in the library, put on the poor citizen list. First Everette Murphy will come in whistling and then slam his books down as though he were the prohibition director himself. After the racket has subsided a little, Lee O’Brien will step in. From then on it is impossible for a person to study. I would like to see some effective punishment meted out to such boys.” After Miss Swancutt had concluded her little declamation it was nearly six o'clock so the meeting was adjourned. Many were disappointed for it would be a whole week before they would have an opportunity to air their troubles. Taken from Larry Reuland's imagination.

Funny” Page Twenty-five History of the Senior Class LORIOUS Seniors; let us all join hands in one happy throng and give thanks to those who made it possible tor us to venture forth from this great institution of learning, with a higher and broader education. The course of our four years of high school has been a period of hard work, but not without its success. The history of our class begins on the beautiful autumn morning of September 6, 1918. The very atmosphere of that wonderful morning seemed to herald the approach of a new and inspiring element in the Reedsburg High School. Few realized that among the students gathered that morning, there were boys and girls who were destined to form one of the greatest classes in the history of our high school. It has generally been conceded that freshman are inferior to the upper classmen. There may be a good basis to these claims, but surely, the Freshman Class of 1918 showed it's readiness to adopt the rules, regulations, and even the spirit of the institution of which they were now a part. Never did a beginning class show such enthusiasm and devotion in boosting their school. They were not backward in taking part in school activities. The members of the class seemed to assume the stately bearing of upper classmen, and, as a result, one found it very difficult to ditinguish between students as members of the various classes. With the close of the school year the greater part of the class succeeded in getting good grades, and, as a result, we find the class ready to enter upon its second year of high school life. The next great step, in the history of our class, was the sophomore year. This year, showed more than ever, the determined spirit of enthusiasm and patriotism to their school. The spirit seemed to manifest itself in all parts of their activities. Many members were already carrying the class banner in athletics, declamatory and oratorical work, musical organizations, and all other school activities. All this showed the determination to make this class successful. The fact, that Commencement, for us, was only three years away served as an incentive to work harder and give our utmost in aiding and boosting our school. Nowhere was the spirit lacking. When called upon to aid in any school affairs, the class was there as one, to devote its entire and never-tiring energy to make the projects successful. Success seems to have been constantly the guiding spirit of our class. The year of nineteen-twenty saw us as a great Junior Class. The members of our class showed the wonderful effects of two successful years of high school. At the annual loyalty banquet; they gave the Senior Class a very hard run for first place and the honors which go with that position. At the Junior Prom, which was an all around success, expense was cast aside, and the best of everything was had at this event. The whole prom was a result of the hard work and enthusiasm of the Juniors. It showed their desire to give the best possible time to their fellow seniors, and all others who were present. With Commencement next June, the Junior Class ascended the throne of Senior superiority and honor. The last, most vital, and perhaps the most successful year of our school life had now come. Gone but not forgotten, were those long years of struggle leading up to this successful climax. The fact that this was our last year of high school life seemed to send a thrill of joy, mingled with sorrow, through our veins. Our class was no more second, third, or fourth, but was now foremost in the school and all activities. The value of our support materially to all organizations of the school could not be estimated. Whenever a new project sprang up the Senior Class was the first to pledge its support. Nothing seemed to be able to stop the onward march to success. The “Big Five Conference Meet resulted in the seniors winning most of the laurels and accordingly receiving the banner of honor. At the annual Loyalty Banquet the Seniors easily romped off with the splendid new Loyalty Banner. Here, again, our class demonstrated its patriotism and school spirit, which was, undoubtedly, never equalled before in the history of our school. The class was the very heart of our great school, making a success of all its activities and organizations. The whole class attended the Prom, a splendid social event put on with great success by the Junior Class. The end of the school year and high school life has come, and with it, Commencement. The class of twenty two is no longer a part of the school but its members are now going out into the world, to represent with a determined and unblemished spirit of school patriotism, and to uphold the teachings, honor, and traditions of the great Reedsburg High School. Raymond Struebing Weekly Weather Report From R. H. S. Clear, with temperature every morning. Not much change — in pockets. Miss Leavitt: This is the worst recitation I ever heard. I had to do most of it myself. Mr. Boebel (In Gen. Science) Why do leaves turn red in the fall? Bright Frosh: They blush to think how green they've been all summer. Advice to the joke editor — Please write your jokes on tissue paper so that we can see through them. Mr. Lewis: Young man, you’ll have to leave this school. Bud Staedlemen: I hadn’t planned to take it with me. Jerry B. (In Physics) Say, where do we get the stuff to do experiment no. 20 with? Harold: There isn’t any, so we don’t have to do it. Jerry: Oh, heck, and I wrote it all up already. Gleaned from a Frosh theme After all the trunks had been carried to their respectable rooms----- Miss Rhodes, during opening exercises: “Turn to page 35, “Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes,” and let us sing this as though we meant it. Alice Hickey, one of our bright young Freshmen, while watching some mules go by, exclaimed, Oh, Kids! look at those funny horses! The Geography class was discussing weather maps. Bob Liessman asked: Why do some of those arrows have rings on them ? Another student answered: Those arrows belong to Cupid and he's carrying the ring right along with him. Paul Prange (In Sociology class) : Why do they sentence some people to one year and one day? Fred Vorlop: That one day they use to recapitulate. Page Twenty-seven Page Twenty-eight History of the Junior Class NE BRIGHT day early in September in 1919, seventy-seven Freshmen wended their way up the hill to the Reedsburg High School. These people were to become members of the famous class of 1923. After we became acquainted with high school work we found that we didn’t know as much as we thought we did. By the time that we became sophomores we had less difficulty in getting our lessons. We had also overcome our timidity and took our part in tormenting the freshies. Our athletes also began to win distinction in both football and basket ball. In September, 1921, our class numbered sixty-five. Five of our number played on the football team. The next years captain was chosen from this class. Our girls basket-ball team was a great success. We gave a demonstration of our spirit and loyalty at the annual Loyalty Feast. Our yells, stunts, and songs were great. The Prom which we gave this year was a great success. It was one of the best that was ever given in this school. We made it the Prom of Proms. The year was closed successfully. The teachers wondered at the standings they had to give us, for we worked hard for them. We are now looking ahead to next year when we will be seniors; but we will never forget our third year in the R. H. S. as the jolliest time we ever had.

Page Thirty-fun n What We Have Been Doing Although we were seventy-six in number, I do not think we presented a very “green” looking class when we entered high school. We escaped the process of initiation and took up our work with a will that means success. As freshmen we contributed liberally to all athletic and social events. We had several men out for foot-ball and basket ball and hosts of girls in the glee club. Our girls also took part in declamatory work, and we are proud to think that we were mentioned by the judges at the inter-class contest. We appeared in large numbers at the Loyalty Feast, and although we did not carry away the banner, we did take first on our table decorations. It was, of course, decorated in our class colors, green and gold. Our class officers last year were wisely chosen. They were: Percy Nulph president; Harold Murphy, treasurer; and Misj Little acted as class advisor. Beginning our sophomore year we find that we are somewhat decreased in number, having only fifty-one left. This does not worry us. however, as we have all developed in size during the summer. We have boys out for foot-ball and they are responding well to the call for basket ball men. The girls have also been playing basket-ball. We have boys in the band and many have joined the recently organized Boys’ Glee Club. We still have girls in the Glee Club and hope that we may carry off great honors in declamatory work. We have a new set of officers this year who have proved very efficient. Maurice Moon, president; Ada Hoefs, vice president; Erna Dierkan, treasurer; and Miss Leavitt, class advisor. We have also selected a motto which we hope to be typical of our class, “Always room at the top.” Here’s to the Sophs Amy Borning Habit “Ye cats!” Vera Borland Habit Lavita Bergiman Habit Helen Bennet Habit It seems.” Josephine Butterfield . . .

Page Thirty-eight Page Thirty-nine Page Forty Freshman History Promptly at nine o’clock, September the sixth, nineteen hundred and twenty one, eighty-two very nervous, bashful freshmen reported to the assembly room for registration. Some of them knew where to go but most of them did not. They would not ask anyone because they did not relish the thought of being laughed at for their ignorance. A week later not one of them could be led by mischief makers to the wrong classrooms. They soon learned the way of the school and became loyal students of the R. H. S. and as wordly wise as the seniors, in appearance at least. At the first meeting the class officers were elected. They are: Max Rind-fleish, president: Lawrence Schultz, vice-president; Annette Huntley, secretary and treasurer, and Miss Swancutt, advisor. At the Loyalty Feast the class showed itself in its true colors. Full of pep and vigor, not to be out rivalled by any of the other classes, we carried off second place. The number of freshmen at the banquet was the largest it has ever been. In Athletics they are rapidly winning honors. The boys basket-ball team is beginning to think that it amounts to something, having defeated the swift Sophs” and the Juniors. We do not allow ourselves to imagine defeating Walter Camp's All American Stars”, the faculty. The Freshmen spirit of loyalty and class pep proves to be one that will last not only for one week, but through the four years of High School. By These Ye Shall Know the Frosh LaVerne Babb ..

Page Forty-four Junior High School “School days, school days, dear old village school days With Reading, and Writing and Arithmetic Taught to the tune of the hickory stick, You were my girl in calico, I was your bashful, barefoot beau; And you wrote on your slate, ‘I love you Joe' When we were a couple of kids. But that happened many, many years ago when our grandparents were kids and the city of Reedsburg was only a village. I know it happened many years ago because school children are so good now, a hickory stick isn’t necessary. And Joe doesn't receive love messages any more, because the slate has gone out of date. However, ‘reading, and writing and arithmetic' do exist in the grades along with many other necessary subjects. For a long time educators placed the best instructors in the high schools and colleges, but experience has taught them that the most important years of a child's education are from the first to the eighth grade; and so the tables are gradually turning and the children of the lower grades of today are beginning to receive as good training as those in the upper grades. One of the modern reforms in education which helped to bring this about was departmental instruction in the sixth, seventh, tnd eighth grades such as we have in Reedsburg. It stands to reason that a person who specializes to teach a few subjects can teach those subjects better than one who is trying to handle all subjects. The old saying, “Jack of all trades but master of none applies to teaching as well as to anything else. If one receives an injury to his eye. he goes to the very best specialist for treatment. Who deserves a specialist in education more than the child in the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades whose mind is most plastic, whose hand most willing, and whose heart most receptive? We have three grade schools within the city. One on the West side, in connection with the Sauk County Normal, one on the South side, and one in the High School building on the North side. After the new building was completed, the sixth, seventh and eighth grades moved into the old high school building, which is their present quarters. All in all, our educational system is on par or above that of most cities of the size of Reedsburg. Page Forty-five THE SOUTH SIDE SCHOOL Page Forty-seven Manual Training LEARNING BY DOING The term, manual training , as applied to a distinct course of study in the public schools, is general in its meaning. If one should visit us in our shop, he would see boys working with their hand and keenly directing the operations with an active brain. This active co-operation of the mind and body is manual training. The entire history of the human race, from the time the first tool was made until the present moment, is only a long record of accomplishments in manual labor. Evolutionists claim that the most striking characteristic of the human race is the dexterity of the hand and the almost unerring direction of those hands thru the nervous system and the brain. Educators oft times call our attention to the wonderful skill and manual dexterity of the pianist, the artist, violinist, the typist, or other superskilled” human beings. We, who believe in the laborer skilled in handwork and trained to think clearly, call attention to these propositions. Of what avail to the world wold be the pianist, without that wonderful instrument, the Grand piano? Of what avail, the artist with his keen perception of color, light, shade, and tint, were it not for his sure touch with the brush or the unerring direction of his palette in mixing colors? Of what avail the nimble fingers of the typist without the typewriter — a wonderful machine of precision and alignment. Daily to us in the shop, there comes thru the noise and hum of industry, the song of labor, telling us that labor is noble. It is a mark of service. The privilege of honest labor coupled with the joy of creating, lifts us onto the plane of the artist, musician, or author. Truly, was not the man who made the wonderful violin an artist as well as he who plays on it? Our tasks are humble, yet they are as honorable as others. Daily we serve and daily we express our love for man in that service. If ye would lose yourself in the joy of creating and taste of the pleasure of doing humble tasks well, join us in the shop. If ye would learn by doing something creative; by working out a constructive idea until the finished product stands before you, join us in the shop. If you would start your journey to success properly, learn some trade. Did not our greatest Americans express themselves, “Early in learning do some form of skilled labor well?” Who can look upon the character of Benjamin Franklin, the humble printer, or Abraham Lincoln, the obscure pioneer, or of Thomas Edison, the poor boy with a love for experimenting, without reaching this conclusion? A boy in learning a trade takes his first step toward a successful carreer, in the knowledge that he is doing something well. If ye would learn, step by step, to walk in the ways of the Master Carpenter of Nazareth, join a class in manual labor. If ye would taste of the joy of doing with the hands and at the same moment creating because of the active and keen mental process that is directing the doing, join us in the shop. A Shop Man Page Forty-eight Household Arts Dear Gleaner Readers: “Ain't we got fun?” Who could withhold a giggle, when, while studying eggs, Evangeline informs us that eggs are unhatched chicks? But who is it that laughs when an army of hungry boys, possibly you, march into our spotless kitchen and demand our cakes, cookies, or pies which we have made? Certainly not the cooks who wash the dishes. However, cooking is not the only art we have been studying. We spent at least a week just learning to figure out energy requirements according to a person’s activities. For proof ask Mr. Lewis whom we followed all over building to find out how many hours he spent in sleep and later to explain why he should add one or two more calories to his daily requirements. The time will come when Congress will pass a law, forbidding any one to eat meals that are not balanced. You will have to consult Gertrude Thiemann, who is world famous for accurate planning and balancing of meals. She will probably be worked to death. Of course one can not live by eating alone, so we have been studying the general arrangement and management of the homes. We'll come to the aprons later. The plans we have drawn to represent a “model house,” would probably look like Chinese puzzles to an architect but they really have some good points when they are explained. For example of this work borrow one of my classmate’s notebook. The aprons? Oh yes. We have learned to make them as well as the dresses they cover. Some of us have had pretty good luck too. In a few years you will probably see a sign, “Blanche Oliver, Dressmaker,” and I assure you that she will do good work. Don't, however, try to rip out the seams she puts in. For styles I will refer you to Lila, but there, I have forgotten that some of you are boys and are not interested in clothes. I won’t write much more but I want to say that this class will be long remembered by its members. We, as regular pals, have been working together for two years and we won't soon forget the many things which have happened —namely—when Windy's temper was at its worst; when Miriam let the cakes turn upside down in the oven; when Eylene found a mouse and we all squealed (just like girls); when Blanche forgot to give her knives an extra shine; when Fisher's soft custard turned out to be scrambled eggs; when Gertrude forgot her lesson; when we were surprised with a test and the pitiful marks which followed; and when we finished with such a bang by preparing and serving the best Loyalty Feast ever. Hoping I have told everything straight, One of the Cooks” Public Speaking; Our public speaking class is the best class in high school, not only because of the many good times we have, but also for the many important things that we have learned. We will admit that what we learn in public speaking is different from what we learn in any other class, but we will retain this knowledge longer and also make more use of it than some of the things we have learned in our other subjects. Page Forty-nine We started out by learning to breathe properly while lying on our backs and ended up by breathing properly while standing on our feet. When we had learned to get a kick in our diaphragmatic breathing to please Miss Leavitt, we began poising on the edge of chairs and on the stage. We are thirteen, and I think that Friday is our lucky day; for on Friday we have co-operate body movement in rhythm and retain poise. Miss Leavitt has labored to instill into our minds the necessity of keeping perfect poise and also the necessity of freeing ourselves from the recently popular debutante slump, the camel walk, and various other improper ways of conveying ourselves from place to place. After we had accomplished poise and found our breathing center, we were put upon the stage to show our accomplishments in oratory. But we squeeked in the wrong direction, some went up and some went down, so we were drilled in tone and pitch for a month or more. At last we got the Ohs ! and Ahs ! and Hah-Hahs ! in perfect tone and pitch to suit our tired minds. But Miss Leavitt insisted that we recite “Those Evening Bells” until we felt them singing in our heads. Miss Leavitt wanted to end with a bang, so she drilled us on the court scene from The Merchant of Venice and the farce, “Miss Oliver’s Dollars”, and we appeared before the high school showing off our talent of breathing, poising, and pitching which is, as everyone knows, very great. In conclusion let us say, if any of you ever have a chance to belong to a public speaking class, do so, by all means, but then, we know it would never be the same as though you had you had been a member of ours. A member of the class. Commercial Department If you are honest in all your work, And none of your shorthand and typing shirk; You'll surely succeed in your business life. And need not worry about future strife. The Commercial course, which includes Shorthand, Tywriting, and Bookkeeping is one of the most practical courses offered in the Reedsburg High School. There are many reasons for this. Perhaps the most important is that when students graduate from this department they are prepared to take a position in the business world. Gregg Shorthand is not a new subject, as many are inclined to believe. Probably the first man to ring for his stenographer was Cicero, in 63 B. C. Shorthand offers the opportunity for a liberal education, besides its recognized value as a bread-winning accomplishment. In the study of shorthand one learns the meaning of words and their correct pronounciation, the construction of the English language, and from dictation, an immense amount of information is absorbed. It disciplines the mind, increases power to analyze things, develops constructive ability, and is almost unequaled as a means of culture. Someone has said that expertness in shorthand is equivalent to forty per cent increase in mental efficiency. A knowledge of Bookkeeping is almost indispensible for both business and social needs. It is a subject of practical value to any high school student. Through it the student learns the value of accuracy, initiative, and thrift, which are requisites in any line of work. Page Fifty The Striaght Hoad (First prize short story.) The Landly, the most beautiful and best hotel in that region, was situated on the Wabash. This hotel was the center of the famous resort— Bareolle. Here the most wealthy people of the state spent the summer months. It was the last of August. The day was a particularly busy one. Hundreds of people were either on the beach, bathing, canoeing, or strolling about. Through the open windows the subdued hum of voices was wafted in on the sultry air. On a high stool behind the desk sat a small boy. deeply interested in the hotel register. His father stood at his elbow, conversing with a gentleman. J. Reginald Kent........Boston A. R. Richmond.......St. Louis The boy’s finger pointed each name as he went down the ledger leaf. Lee Conway..............Duluth Booth Butler............Atlanta “Gee, that's a funny looking one, ain't it pop? exclaimed the boy. Yes, rather, answered his father, glancing at the name. The day wore on and night came, bringing with it a light fall of rain, forcing the people to seek shelter within the hotel. Among the many guests at the hotel for the week-end was the famous and wealthy paper king, Mr. Clarence Trescott. Trescott had been talking with a man, who now came to the desk, asked for number thirteen key, and went up stairs. Mr. Landly looked down at the register. No. 13—Booth Butler........Atlanta He noticed that it was the same name which his son had pointed out to him before. He realized now why it had caught the boy's attention. Six fifteen and the dinning room was already filled with people. The corridors were silent save for the soft tread of the man as he stole from room to room. At last the one room which he had been looking forward to in the highest of hopes, Number 13 ! Stopping before the door he cautiously peered behind him for signs of an approach. Quickly applying the key to the lock, the door yielded to his practised fingers and he entered. The luxuriant room was in a state of confusion as if the owner had been in great haste before departing. A suitcase stood open, revealing a number of unimportant things. The search must be quick—but he was a professional and not slow. His search revealed nothing. Sorely disappointed, he stopped upon the threshold to look about the room. He noted its high, wide, open windows with their curtains of fleecy white. The high bed had a white coverlet—and there protruding from the end, as though hurriedly placed by the departing guest, was a portfolio. Dashing to the bed, he dragged it forth, opened it, and brought to the light the treasure he had coveted. Quickly slipping the bills in the pocket of his coat, he thrust the portfolio back to its former position. As he silently locked the door he heard footsteps on the carpet behind him. Instantly he was seized with fear—an acute fear which he had never before felt. Then straightening himself he turned about. A very small boy, slate and pencil in hand, was gazing at him intently. Something in this man appealed to the boy and he instantly became his friend. “That your room?” asked the youngster. My pop said it was the best in the house. Say, this afternoon I was in there looking aroun’ and 1 saw ten cents layin' on the dresser. I wanted it but my mother told me never to steal so I ran out and left it. The man trembled slightly and turned a shade lighter. This small boy had told him the story, suspecting nothing of the great crime, he had, not ten minutes ago, committed. This child had resisted the temptation while he, a grown man, had taken thousands of dollars. These thoughts flashed through his mind as thoughts flash through the mind of a drowning man. His conscience bothered him and so, wishing to change the subject, he said, “What have you written on your slate, my boy?” Oh, I can write my name. See? He held the sjate up before him. On it was written the name, Charles Landly. “Now you write yours. Thinking only of pleasing the boy and not of what it might bring upon him, he wrote his own name on the slate. I like you, ventured the boy. Butler could say nothing for a moment. Then bidding the boy good-bye, he left him. On going to his room he carefully locked the door. He pondered over the matter and struggled with his conscience. Knowing he could get away with it as he always had before, he fought the instinct to take it back. The words of the boy came back to him. My mother told me never to steal.” He saw his own mother's face and remembered the words she had taught him, Thou shalt not steal. Finally in the end his conscience won. The innocence of the child had had such effect upon him that his desire for stealing had left him. Meanwhile Charles had gone to the office and carelessly laid the slate on a chair where it had been seen by his father. Mr. Landly recognized the name as being the same as that on the register but there was a difference in the handwriting. That on the register was written as if in haste—small and not very legible. The name on the slate was written in a free and rounded style. The hotel manager was instantly suspicious but he said nothing. Butler returned to the room from which he had taken the bills. Again taking the portfolio from its place he replaced the bills exactly where he had found them. As he turned to the door he came face to face with Trescott himself. “What are you doing here? he demanded in a quiet voice. Butler explained as best he could what had happened earlier in the day. This is a very grave thing. I do admire you for the great change in your life but it cannot be passed by; I must call the detectives. Butler said nothing while the detectives were summoned and he was taken away. His past record was shown to him and he recalled each incident with a shudder. The thought that he was actually in prison smote deeply. He recalled how he always dreaded it. Oh, if they would only let him out he would lead a straight life. The next morning the bars of his window were found broken. Butler had escaped but he was now headed for the straight road.” Annette Huntley. Page Fifty-three The Feud (Second Prize Short Story) Tom Tilden was a large, attractive fellow who had many friends. He was the star athlete of the Reedsburg High School and was also very good in his studies. He was class president and could be rightfully classed as the mot popular boy in school; at least with the boys. Now most people would think a fellow like this to be perfect, but Tom had one great fault and that was that he was always shy and bashful where girls were concerned. In a football game he fought with the nerve and pluck of a lion, but when around girls he lost every bit of it. Tom did not know how to act around girls. If he followed the rules of politeness that he had read in books, the girls thought that he held himself above them. If he didn’t, they thought he was rude and so Tom was out of luck. Now, Tom liked a certain girl named Maimi, and although he wasn’t sure, he thought she liked him a little. And he didn't know how to find out. This kept on for a month or so and it wouldn’t have been so bad if it hadn't been for the arrival of Roger Banks, a rich banker’s son. He combed his hair all the time and it was always matted with vaseline. He was never known to have dirty hands and the crease in his pants looked as though it would cut. His shoes were always shined enough to be used as a looking glass. The girls all fell in love with him as is shown by the meeting of Hazel Brooks and Agnes Tomson. “Hello, Agnes, hailed Hazel as they met on the street. Say, Agnes, have you seen that new boy, Roger Banks? The girls are all crazy about him and I hear he's a swell dancer too.” “Oh yes, I think he's the nicest boy, answered Agnes. Now this was the girls’ point of view, but the boys had an altogether different opinion. They held him in contempt, for he wasn’t an athlete and never came to any of the sports. One day Bill Atkins said to Tom, Gee! that new guy is sure stuck up; someone ought to take him down a peg. Tom replied; “If he gets funny he'll get what's coming to him.” Tom had more reason than any of the other fellows to be jealous of Roger, for Roger was paying too much attention to Maimi and Tom was being lgft out in the cold. Now Tom wanted to stop this state of affairs, so when he heard of the Junior Prom, he resolved to ask Maimi if he might accompany her. That night he waited for her and when she came out of the school she was with Roger Banks. Tom couldn't ask her then, so he put it off until the day before the party. Then he met her on the street, and walked up to her and said hurriedly: Hello, Maimi, may I speak with you a moment? She answered gayly: Certainly, Tom, I have ten minutes before Roger will come. Tom winced at that, but asked: Will you go to the Prom with me, Maimi? Why, Tom, why didn't you ask me sooner? Roger asked me four days ago. Page Fifty-four Well, I was busy, I'm sorry.” said Maimi. So’m I, agreed Tom. If Tom Tilden had met Roger Banks just then, Roger Banks wouldn’t have gone to the Prom. The next night Tom went to the Prom and asked Maimi for a dance. Maimi said: “I have promised all my dances to Roger, and besides I wouldn't be seen with you. Tom was taken aback, but asked: Why not?” Oh, don't look so innocent, Roger told me all about you, how you talked about me, she replied haughtily. So Roger has been telling lies about me, thought Tom darkly. He spent a miserable evening for he only watched two persons, Roger and Maimi. How Tom longed for a crack at Roger's beautiful nose. The next day Tom met Roger and Maimi walking along and he was just going to say hello when Maimi turned her back on him and took hold of Roger's arm. This was more than Tom could bear. Stop,” he called out, and Maimi and Roger jumped back in surprise. You liar,” roared Tom, “I'll lick you until you tell Maimi you lied about me.” Roger was turning white, but answered scornfully, “Oh, mind your own business.” Tom struck out and hit Roger on the chin. Roger fell over and didn't get up right away. Tom picked him up. “Tell Maimi you lied.” I won’t. Oh yes you will,” and Tom hit him again. Don’t,” cried Maimi. But Tom told her to get out of the way. Roger still lay where he had fallen. Get up , ordered Tom. “Now tell the truth.” “I lied to you, Maimi, quailed Roger. Then he turned and ran for all he was worth. Then Tom coolly snubbed Maimi and went home. He was so happy that he whisteled all evening. Now there had been another character at the fight and that was Ed Tyler, the school reporter. He had been going by when he saw the fight. As all the boys hated Roger. Ed thought he saw a chance to lower him a few pegs. So he wrote up the fight, all about the lying and everything. When the paper came out, Roger was in disgrace and all the boys and girls snubbed him and Tom was the hero. When the next party came, Tom took Bessie Brooks and had a very good time, and after the party he met Maimi. Where's Roger?” he asked coldly. Oh, Tom, I'm so sorry for what I've done. Won't you forgive me?” He did, just like a boy. Philip Hass. Page Fifty-five Our City Reedsburg, Sauk County. Wisconsin, has a population of three thousand inhabitants and is located on the main line of the Chicago and North Western Railway between Chicago and Minneapolis, fifteen miles north of Baraboo, the county seat, and fifty-three miles from Madison, the state capitol. The earliest known inhabitant of the region about Reedsburg was the Indian, and when the first white settlers came they found his tribe in larger numbers than was at all comfortable and convenient. The fall of 1844 saw the first white man in these parts. David C. Reed, the man after whom Reedsburg was named, heard of the superior advantages for a mill site about Reedsburg, and, in the spring of 1847, he, in company with a Mr. Powell, came to the land upon which the principal part of Reedsburg now stands. In June the first improvements were commenced—the construction of a dam and the building of a shanty for the accommodation of the men engaged in the work. Iq,June, 1848, the frame of a saw-mill was put up. It was in the fall of this year that the famous Shanty Row was built. It consisted of five log houses. The inhabitants of Shanty Row at this time were Messrs. William McClung, J. L. Green, and Keyes Bishop. The first house in the city of Reedsburg was built by Austin Seeley. The first bridge built a-cross the Baraboo river at Reedsburg was by D. C. Reed and others. Also the first store in Reedsburg was operated by O. H. Perry. In 1854 the township, with its present boundaries, was established. In 1887 Reedsburg became a city. The first school in Reedsburg, a private one, was organized between 1840 and 1850. It consisted of seven pupils and was held in a shanty twelve feet square with one window. In the fall of 1848 a school district was formed, and the first public school in town was organized. During the summer of 1856 the district purchased of J. and S. Mackey an acre of land on the northwest corners of Sixth and Pine Streets for three hundred dollars and erected a school house thirty feet in size and intended for three teachers. In the summer of 1866 a new school house was built upon the same site, forty feet by forty feet in size, arranged for three departments and four teachers. In 1879 a new department of the village schools was created, known as the Second Primary, and in September of that year the High School department was organized. The 1880 class is the one generally recognized as the real commencement of the high school at Reedsburg. Let us now review the industrial history of Reedsburg. On New Year's Day of 1872, the first locomotive passed thru Reedsburg. The first newspaper, The Herald, was published in 1856. The first postoffice was established in a drygoods store in 1849. The first hotel known as the Clark House, was built in 1850 where the present Reineke House now stands. In 1868 a permanent bank was founded. In 1874 the sawmill was transformed into a stave mill, but in 1882 this was torn down and our present woolen mill erected. In 1873 a fire company was organized. In 1872 A. P. Ellinwood fenced in some land on the west side with the purpose of holding a fair there. When the first fair was held in 1874, five thousand people attended and five hundred fifty entries were made. In 1849 the first bridge was built across the Baraboo River, but not until 1877 was our present one erected The first store was built in 1850. Page Fifty-six The growth of Reedsburg for the past fifty years has been of the most substantia character. It is now the second village in size and population in Sauk County. When the first settlers came they found a marsh and a clear swift river. Today we boast of our beautiful homes, our fine paved streets, but not of our river. Today Reedsburg has the best of sewerage systems, excellent water, a municipal light and power plant, a splendid educational system, fine churches, a pretty public library, and many up-to-date retail stores I am sure we all love and are proud of our little city. Good Speech Week November 6 to 12 was observed as Good Speech Week in our high school, as in all other high schools of the United States. In observance of this week all the students of the English classes were obliged to make posters, slogans, and to write themes. The person who made the best poster and slogan, and the person who wrote the best theme was to receive a prize. Leslie Schierholtz, a member of the Junior Class, received the prize of a dictionary for making the best poster and slogan; and Wenona Hainstock, a Senior, received a book of poems for writing the best theme. In further observance of this week, each of the four classes was given a day of the week on which to present a Good Speech program. The Freshman Class gave a playlet in which different people representing gramatical errors, and one person representing Good English, applied for a position in an office. Good English received the position. The Sophomore Class gave a playlet entitled, “Uncle Sam and Good English.” The Junior Class presented “The Melting Pot, in which France, Scandinavia, Germany, Italy, and Ireland were each represented by a girl who came to plead with the American people to use better English, so that they would be able to understand us. The Senior program consisted of three parts. The first part was entitled “Bad English On Trial.” This was a regular court scene. The second part was entitled “Good English and Bad English Apply for the Same Position.” The third was the burial of poor English. About ten people laid to rest their favorite slang expressions. This was a very impressive ceremony, for these expressions were sincerely mourned. The Seniors, because of their originality, received the first place for having the best program. Thus ended the funeral week for aint,” “anda, “hot dog,” and almost everything else in this line. Page Fifty-seven Page Fifty-eight The Athenian On February 2, 1922. twenty-six students of the Reedsburg High School met in Room G to organize a debating society. The name and officers of the society were elected at this meeting. Mr. Tedford is coaching the debate work and Miss Nesbitt and Miss Norris act as advisors. At the next meetings preliminary tryouts were held to select members for the team which is to represent the school. The following members were chosen: Naomi Krohn, Ruth Grote, Agnes Gregory, Bertha Philips, Tom Darrenougue, Andrew Croal, Ralph Shemanski, and Howard MacCarthy. The object of The Athenian is to train its members in Parliamentary law and public speaking. Debate work is comparatively new in the Reedsburg High School but we hope that it will receive the support to which its importance entitles it.

Some of the Freshmen felt a weakness in the knees; their hands grew cold and had a tendency to shake. Why all this nervousness? Because someone had started a story that each person wishing to sing in the glee club would be required to stand before the whole group and sing a song. Therefore they were very much afraid. Some of them even went so far as to say that they had never sung in public. Great was their humiliation when they found that they had let some insignificant Soph deceive them in this matter. Miss Rhodes’ ears must have burned very severely that night for compliments were paid her from every side. The club was soon able to make as much music or noise, whichever you wish to term it, as the Junior-Senior glee club. It made its first public appearance at the Sauk County Teachers' Round-up and has since appeared before the assembly several times. To make a long story short they have progressed steadily and some of them may become widely famed for their singing. Who can tell? For you know all great things have small beginnings. The members of the club are: Judith Ninman Marga Werner Josephine Howland Rhea Walters Amy Borning Alice Hickey Valera Riggert Marie Schulte Mary Zapp Margaret Moorehead Vera Borland Erna Dierken Elizabeth Krause Marion Miller Az Robinson Wanda Menchoff Helen Miller Lavita Bergaman Ethel Huntley Elizabeth Schroeder Elva Harder Eveleen Worden Zita Daly Ada Hoefs Irene Fenster Emma Young Beulah Warren Catherine Ost Annette Huntley Ada Sonnenberg Ruth Corwith Frona Weise Janet Winchester Alberta Schultz Ruth Zimmerman Dorothy Meyer Pauline Bergaman Anita Meidenwald Eunice Vander Ohl Hester Schebel Ernesta Gahagan Ruth Clement I'agt Sixty Junior - Senior Girls Glee Club Beatrice Ost Lila Meyer Lavern Davis Dorothy Stolte Eugenia Hastings Ina Whitely Miriam Hahn Winnifred Davenport Eleanor Sparks Hazel Suszciky Ethel Schroeder Dorothy Hastings Gertrude Thiemann Page Sixty-one Boys Glee Clul) Good music is a vital element in the education of the people. —P. P. Claxton. The Boys’ Glee Club, organized this year as an experiment, has proved to be a reality, and a very live reality. The boys have the enthusiasm and the desire plus very good voices which go to make a strong organization. They have had a great deal of pleasure out of discovering that they really could sing and making use of that ability in causing the halls to resound with their jubilant voices—nor is this sound limited to practice hours. The 12 :20 noon hour singing has become a habit which is not always confined to regular glee club days. Organized for the purpose of developing musical ability and understanding among the boys, and of bringing to light a wholesome social phase of recreation which has been so sadly neglected in this age of illiterate” jazz, the glee club has been a success. It has also furnished pleasure to those who have heard it in various programs and the operetta, for boys' voices are universally popular. As a part of the glee club, the boys' octet was formed, and it also has regular rehearsals. The following boys are members: Merl Warren Paul Prange Louis Stern Hubert Jax Fred Vorlop Percy Nulph Fred Meyer Evan Ost Emery Davis Albert Hinz Donald Ost Wilbur Davis William Pape Robert Liessman Archie Christie Harry Verthein Dean Babb Rodney Reuland Walter Steinway Jerry Barnhart Marden Philips Robert Reuland Andrew Croal Lewis Hager Gerhardt Meyer Kenneth Carrol Rueben Holtz Harold Schroeder Lewis Seymour Ralph Shemanski Leal Harrison Hubert Struebing Herald Meyer Everette Murphy Paul Schultz Walter Hickey Ansel Ritzenthaler Howard MacCarthy Leonard Shemanski Arnit Hennings Forrest O’Connor Maurice Moon Lawrence Reuland Lorenz Hennings Raymond Struebing Edmund Spraetz Robert Corcoran Joseph Meyer Joseph Yorman Leander Prange Marvin Schroeder Herbert Westphal Tom Darrenougue Lawrence Schultz I! Paqe Sixty-t’v.o The R. H. S. Cadet Band The Reedsburg High School Band was founded in the autumn of 1918 by Mr. Arvold, the history instructor. Although at the first few practices there were less than a dozen present, soon the interest became greater and the band increased in size proportionately. The first winter was spent in learning the rudiments of band work and in extensive rather than intensive training. The neighbors in all parts of town were as persevering as the band members themselves, that is, in holding their ears and tempers. In the summer of 1919 free band concerts were held in the City Park to increase the confidence of the individuals and to secure practice in out-of-doors playing. In the spring of 1920 the band began to show the real signs of an organized group of musicians. At this time we gave our first annual concert which everyone seemed to enjoy. The school decided to send the band to Whitewater with our two forensic representatives. Elizabeth Stolte and R. T. Johnstone. It seemed as though the band had the pep, for we won second place in the declamatory contest and first place in the oratorical contest. On July 4. 1920, the band officiated at the celebration held in Elroy. The summer of 1920 witnessed the organization of the first State Boys’ Band Association. Again it was Mr. Arvold who conceived and promoted the idea, with the help of the band and the co-operation of the boys' bands from Mauston, Kilbourn, and New Lisbon. The first band tournament was held in Reedsburg under the auspices of the Wisconsin Boys’ Band Association. Page Sixty-three Prizes were awarded to the best bands and best soloists. In the contests for the former the R. H. S. Cadet Band did not compete, it being the host. After the success of the first tournament the membership of the Association increased, by the following summer, to thirteen bands. They met in the second tournament held in Elkhorn on June 21 and 22, 1921. With the help of the Frank Holton Instrument Company, it was made a huge success. A large loving cup donated by the Holton Company was to be the prize awarded to the best band. The winner was to have its name engraved upon it and was to keep it for one year. Instruments were given by different instrument companies to the best soloists. Mauston again won the cup, a first choice cornet, and a two hundred dollar baritone. Our band placed about fifth. A Cundy Bettoney Clarinet was awarded to Tom Darrenougue as best soloist on that instrument. At the present time the Association has the prospects of including over twenty bands by the summer of 1922. The tournament this year is to be held at Kilbourn on June 2 and 3. In January, 1922. the band gave a short concert in conjunction with the Knights of Pythias Minstrel Show. We also made a trip to La Crosse to play for the Winter Sports Carnival on January 26. The departure of Mr. Arvold necessitated a re-organization of the band. At present there are some twenty old members, with Mr. Tedford as business manager and Mr. Ninman as director. The present membership of the band is as follows : Cornets Hubert Struebing Godfrey Struebing Raymond Struebing Percy Nulph Hubert Jax Ansel Ritzenthaler Elwood Young Altos Leslie Schierholtz Leal Harrison William Pape Trombones Evan Ost Marden Philips Archie Christie Francis Bechtolt Drums Neal Aton Lee O'Brien Ralph Shemanski Reed Instruments Henry Hahn Rodney Reuland Tom Darrenougue Carl Struebing Bass Horn Kenneth Carroll Baritone Robert Liessman Page Sixty-four The High School Orchestra Our own tuneful orchestra, though still a youthful organization, has made a splendid success. Surely it is worthy of the name of the great institution of which it is a part. It was organized and is being directed by Miss Rhodes, since the departure of Mr. Arvold. The new orchestra is composed of what was formerly the old High School Orchestra and also a new selection of musical artists. The instrumentation consists of piano, violin, saxaphone, clarinet, trombone, cornet, and drums. The orchestra, like our band, has already worked itself to such a point that it commands an important part in the work of the school. It furnished the music for the operetta, “The Maid and the Middy. It also rendered its support to the Senior Class Play and several other events of the school year.

About thirty girls responded. After several weeks of practice four girls from each class were selected to continue the work. On April first an elimination contest was held to select four girls to represent the school in the local declamatory contest. The following girls were selected. Ruth Clement, Annette Huntley, Bertha Philips, and Margaret Moorhead. The boys had a rather late start on their oratorical work and although seven of them signified their desire to enter the contest, this number dwindled down to three, Tom Darrenougue, Ralph Shemanski, and Paul Schultz. On the evening of April fourth, the local oratorical and declamatory contests were held. The judges for these contests were members of the public speaking department of the University of Wisconsin. “The Man in the Shadow, poken by Ruth Clement, was awarded second place. Bertha Philips was awarded first place, her declamation being “The Shepherd’s Trophy. In the oratorical contest Tom Darrenougue was awarded second place on the oration entitled The National Apostasy and Ralph Shemanski, whose oration was The Triumph of Peace, was awarded first place. This year, for the first time, the league contest is to be held at Reeds-buryg, on April twenty-first. Lodi. Wauakee, North Freedom, Poynette, and Reedsburg High Schools are members of the league. The winners of this contest will go to the district contest to be held at Whitewater on May fifth. Since Reedsburg has won the league contest for the last eight years, the other members of the league are determined to beat us this year. Here’s hoping that history repeats itself. Page-S ix y - e ig fit The Football Season The first call for football candidates was answered by the veterans, Capt. Seymour, Moon. Warren, Reuland. and a group of twenty-two new men. Among this group was Prange, O’Connor, Bob Reuland, Lee O'Brien, and Harry Meyer, who had had some experience playing on teams the previous year, Jax, Cyril O’Brien, Stern, Philips, Nulph, Murphy, Meyer, Christie, Heinz, Hickey, and Gallagher were the unexperienced ones. Surely not a very pleasant outlook for the staunch rooters of the R. H. S., was it? However, little lamenting was done, but all energies were bent toward the goal of a successful football season. The men reported with faithfulness and worked with a spirit and vim that was truly wonderful. They made up in spirit and work their shortcomings in experience. No attempt to pick a team was made the first week, time being entirely devoted to teaching of fundamentals. The first semblance of a team was made up with Seymour and Stern, ends; Moon and O'Connor, tackles; Cyril O'Brien and Jax, guards; Philips, center; L. Reuland, quarter; Meyer, Prange, and Murphy, halves; Warren and Bob Reuland, fullbacks. This team was greatly weakened the week of our first game against New Lisbon by the loss of Harry Meyer and Warren. Still the team showed to good advantage by defeating New Lisbon 42-0. using nothing but straight football. The week following this game L. Reuland was quite severely injured in practice, necessitating the changing of Seymour from end to quarter and placing Philips at end. Rodney Reuland had joined the squad, taking the center’s job. Thus the team lined up against Mt. Horeb in a game that was slow but hard fought. With the score 7-7, L. Reuland was sent in for seven minutes of the last quarter and in one of the finest exhibitions of open field running scored a touchdown in four plays from the thirty yard line. He also booted a drop kick from the forty yard line. Another touchdown was added by O'Connor who caught the punt which he blocked and ran twenty-five yards for a touchdown. Richland Center was defeated 21-19 at Richland Center in one of the hardest fought games ever seen on that field. The first half ended 13-7 in their favor. They secured another touchdown in the third quarter, making the score 19-7. In the last quarter the team finally found itself. In six minutes we scored fourteen points by a wonderful display of fight and determination. The big game of the season, with Baraboo, our greatest rival, played before the largest crowd that ever witnessed a game in Reedsburg, was another splendid game. Redsburg started as though she planned on swamping Baraboo by tearing Baraboo's line to pieces and running wild around her ends. With the ball on 'Boo’s eight yard line. Quarterback Reuland carried it over the goal line—and fumbled. Baraboo recovered for a safety but the fumble proved our downfall. Baraboo scored in the third quarter with a series of off tackle drives over our battered line. Several times Reedsburg threatened to score, once getting as far as Baraboo’s four yard line only to lose the ball on Page Sixty-nine downs. This was an exceptionally clean game. Not a dispute of any kind occurred during the game. The following week the team traveled to Portage. In the first few minutes of the game Portage scored a touchdown. Thereafter the game was only a dull punting affair, neither side being able to gain. The game ended 7-0 but there was a good, wholesome feeling between the schools which speaks well for their future athletic relationships. Then came the big surprise of the season for everyone except the team. Having been defeated by Baraboo on our own field, handicapped by a snow-covered field, the team's strongest boosters doubted its ability to hold, let alone win, at Baraboo. This was made more apparent during the first half when Baraboo scored a safety and threatened to score twice. But when L. Reuland received the kick-off opening the second half, with the help of splendid interference coupled with his usual dodging, twisting, and side-stepping, he ran 85 yards for a touchdown. Baraboo had again tasted the bitter cup of defeat. Twice Reedsburg held for downs inside the ten yard line, exhibiting the strongest line of the year. When the game ended, Baraboo had been forced back on her own five yard line. Reedsburg had won 6-2. The game on Thanksgiving Day with Richland Center exceeded all others in thrills. Richland Center displayed a splendid forward pass attack which resulted in a touchdown during the first half. In the last half Richland Center was stopped and Reedsburg finally pushed over for a touchdown. This 7-7 tie ended the 1921 season for Reedsburg High School. The season can be characterized as one of the most successful in the athletic history of our school. No one player can be given special mention. The eleven men played as a team in a way pleasing to watch. The spirit of good fellowship and the unity of effort characterized each game. Only football can furnish such splendid lessons for later life and no one on the 1921 squad can help but feel that he has profited greatly by this season's experience. The loss by graduation of Captain Seymour, Paul Prange, Cyril O’Brien, the three Reulands, Bob, Larry, and Rodney, Lee O'Brien, Forrest O'Connor, and Hubert Jax will be keenly felt next season. However, Captain Warren, Moon, Murphy, Stern, Philips, Nulph. Holtz, Christie, Heinz, and Meyer furnish a strong nucleus which indicates that Reedsburg will again put forth her usual good brand of football in 1922. Sept. 24—R. H. S. . .

In the first scrimmage he showed us that they raise football players even in the villages and he’s been showing us the same fact in all the games of the season. The line will miss him next year in that right tackle position. Maurice Moon was a veteran from last year’s squad. He held down the position of left tackle this year. When “Moon” came to the R. H. S., he had never seen or participated in anything like a football game. After his first game he walked up to Mr. Boebel and asked. “Who won?” “Moon’s” weight and speed make him a man to be feared on the offense and defense. His presence in the line-up next season will aid greatly in developing it into a winning team. Everett Murphy, left halfback, joined the squad this year as a green man. but before the season was far advanced he proved himself worthy of the team. “Spuds” was a good open runner but excelled especially in his plunges. Whenever a yard or two were badly needed, he could be relied upon to get them. His Irish grit was greatly in evidence in every game. “Spuds” will be back next year as a mainstay of the team. Percy Nulph, left guard, was by far the largest man on the team. “Fat” was able to stop anything coming over his side of the line by the simple process of prostrating himself in front of the victim. “Doc” was on one occasion placed in the opposing line, against his team mates. He worked so well that Mr. Boebel was forced to take him out and had to put in his place a player of smaller dimensions. “Doc” will be a great aid to the squad next season. Page Seventy-one L. O’Brien C. O’Brien O'Connor Philips Pokey” O’Brien did not get into many of the games this year, but those in which he did play show that he's got the stuff that makes a football player. His ability to hook down passes from that left end position will be a great loss to next year's team. Cyril O'Brien came to the team this year with a little experience gleaned at Campion College. As he was a willing candidate he was soon enrolled on the first squad in the position of left guard. Throughout the season he filled this position in an admirable way. Cyril leaves the squad this year and with it a hole that will be hard to fill. “Forry” O'Connor, a veteran on the team, played a great game this season at right guard. Although Forry is a lightweight for the line he usually showed his opponent that quality and not quantity counts. No matter how high the players were piled on top of him, he always came out with a smile. He is another man who will be greatly missed next near. Marden Philips, the lightest man on the team, held down the left end position most of the season, and he did it well too. “Bones’ consistency and willingness made him a hard man to deal with. He will be back on next year's squad with some more meat and ought to be a great help in making the season a success. Page Seventy-two Prange Gus Reuland L. Reuland Bob Reuland Chris” Prange is another stranger on the team, for although he was out last year, he did not participate in any games. He played the right halfback position all season. His minute stature was a handicap to him at times but he was a bear for bitting the line and skirting the ends. A great deal of nerve and plenty of ambition made him a man to be watched at all times. He leaves a place that will be hard to fill. Gloomy” Reuland was another green man on the squad. His size made him a valuable man for the pivot position. He was able to stop anything coming his way and never failed to make a hole when his turn came. “Gloomy was also a heady center, making very few mistakes on the plays. He will graduate this year and it will be a hard task to fill the center position as he did this year. This year was “Larry Reuland's fourth year on the team. Some record, eh? Larry was the one who furnished us with the thrills. Very few were the games in which he did not manage to cross the opposing goal line. His open field running and his brainy playing at the quarterback position made him the star of the team. Bob” Reuland is another new man on the team. Due to injuries of the regular fullback, Bob” took his place and retained it throughout the year. He met them all half-way and the bigger they were the harder they fell. His punting and passing ability will be missed by next year’s squad. Page Seventy-three Seymour Stern Warren Captain Seymour proved himself a capable leader. His consistent scrap in every battle was a good example for his team mates. Although a little inefficient in hooking a pass he made up for this fault by his deadly tackling. The right end man next year will have to go some if he fills the bill as Seymour did this year. “Loui was the all around man on the squad this year, filling any position and doing each equally well. His lack of experience held him back somewhat. His splendid showing this year ought to assure him a regular berth on next year's squad. Merle is the captain of next year's squad, and we know he will fill the position to the best of his abilities. His speed and weight will make him a bear in any line. Due to severe injuries obtained last year, he was out of the lineup the greater portion of the year, but while he was there, he transformed the line into a stone wall. Good luck to next year's captain. Page Seventy-four SECOND SQUAD The Basket Ball Season The basketball season was not as successful as the football season. This was due partly to our late start, for the new gym was not completed until late in the season. The Redsburg-Lodi game played in the gym of the new building on January 17 proved a victory for the home team, the score being 18-6. This was the first game of the season and it showed that the boys had the ability to put over a win. On the following Friday our team went to Hillsboro where they were defeated by a score of 29-4. Due to some difficulties the game started at 10:30 although scheduled to begin at 9:00. This was nearly bedtime for our fellows, especially Freak Bechtolt. No doubt this was one of the factors which prevented Reedsburg from winning. We were defeated at Baraboo on February third in one of the fastest games of the season by the score of 21-10. The game was anyone's until the last five minutes when several of Baraboo's lucky shots put them in the lead. Page Sevenly-fivi In i preliminary in the first torn game Reedstosirg's seeotsd team was defeated 6-4 by Bamboo's seco-tsd team. This was a fast fisc also, bat Hock was again with Baraboo.

They were decidedly mistaken in their beliefs, however. for we won by the score of 16-11, Mr. Boebel said that be had wasted all season for the team to play as if played against Colnmbus, Reedsburg was defeated on her home floor by Baraboo. February 24 by the score of 25-14. Our shots simply wouldn t go into the basket that night and the result was the score mentioned above. The most heart-breaking thing of the evening however, was the defeat of our second team by Bara-boo's second team by the score of 13-11, On March 3. as a result of some good team work we were able to defeat Mt, Horefo by fhe score of 30-15, One week later we went to Mt, Horeb. expecting to repeat the previous week's performance. Mt. Horeb showed a determination, however, that cost us the game, 17-12. With four of the first squad men coming back and with prospects for an early season start, we are looking forward to a much more successful season next year.

His miniature stature and greasy-like movements were a great inconvenience to opposing teams. Freak” will be back on the job next year. Even though the basketball season was not as successful as it might be. Coach Boebel has a lot of credit due him. He built a team with only two experienced men. Besides, he has inculcated into his players a spirit of fair play that has made them real men and real sports. Hats off to Boebel! Hank” Hahn, although he had little chance to how his wares in an actual game, had the stuff and was ready to use it whenever necessary. He was a clever floor man, a game player, and a good shot. His help will be missed by the team next year. Page Seventy-seven O'Brien Murphy Harry Meyer held down the pivot position and although he was a small man for the job. he held his own with the biggest of them. Harry was also a good shot, and could be relied upon for a couple of baskets. He ought to be a whirlwind on next year’s team. Everette Murphy, left forward, was the hardest player on the squad, and wherever the battle was the roughest, “Spuds was sure to be there in the center of it. He had the ability to cover a lot of ground effectively. His work next year ought to be a great help to the team. Lee O'Brien held down the position of right forward. His consistent guarding and keen shooting eye made him a player to be watched and feared at all times. Pokey” will be a big loss to next year's team, and possibly a greater benefit to some other team. We hope so. Page Seventy-eight —---------------------------- “Bones” Philips was the stone wall of the team. His consistent work under all conditions made him a central figure in the game. His arms and legs seemed to be everywhere at once and they ought to be a big feature in next year’s games. Larry, our football star, was also a shining light on the basketball team. A fight under the basket without Larry” was impossible. His stellar guarding and clever dribbling was always in evidence. His ability and fighting spirit will be missed next year. Schroeder was another valuable man to have on the squad. His ability to reach over a man made him a dangerous opponent. A player like Schroeder would make a big impression on the squad next year.

The program of the evening started with a concert by the band, during which all the people present took part in a windjamming contest for the purpose of becoming acquainted with each other. After this the Big Five Conference met, the big five being represented by the four classes and the faculty. The meet consisted of a series of contests in which the seniors proved their superiority, and as a result, won the conference banner. Refreshments, consisting of ice cream and cake, were furnished by the band boys. This is the first of a series of parties, the object of which is to give everyone a good time and to teach democracy to the students. As a starter the party was successful in both the objects for which it was given. The second event of the social session was a high school party given by the Senior class. The interesting program included a farce, “Miss Oliver's Dollars,” a number of clever stunts given by some of the seniors, and dancing. This party was decidedly democratic, the result of an attempt to make all of our social affairs regular mixers. The fifth annual loyalty banquet was held on Saturday, January 21, in Room G of the Reedsburg High School. Everyone met in the corridors of the high school at six-thirty. At seven o’clock the participants of the feast marched into Room G to find their places. The decorations of this room were very artistic. The general plan was that of a winter scene. Thousands of snow flakes were suspended from the ceiling, and the walls were banked with evergreen covered with snow, giving the wintry effect. The lights were covered with blue shades, which threw the rays downward. The stage had the appearance of the outskirts of an evergreen forest. In the background were trees and in the foreground was a tract of a lately cleared field. Patches of snow completed this artistic scene. The menu of the banquet was as follows: SENIOR PARTY THE LOYALTY BANQUET Fruit Cocktail Escalloped Potatoes Beef Loaf Olives Buttered Peas in Timbales Parker House Rolls Porcupine Salad Pistachio Ice Cream Chocolate Cookies Wafers Coffee Page Eighty-four Between the courses of the dinner the various classes entertained the students and guests by presenting a stunt. Songs and yells were given throughout the banquet by each of the classes. Great spirit and enthusiasm was shown all evening. No effort was spared in showing loyalty to the R. H. S. and we hope this loyalty will last forever. The toastmaster, George Strampe, then took charge of the banquet. Mr. Perry, representing the bankers, and Mr. Kjorstad, representing the lawyers, were called upon for a toast. The School Board was also called upon. Mr. Boebel then presented R’s to the football boys. The Senior class an,d the Cadet Band presented Mr. Arvold with a gift. He responded with a little speech, saying that he would surely never forget the students of the Reedsburg High School for he was taking with him a product of this school. Mr. Arvold’s resignation is regretted by both students and teachers. Then came the big event of the evening, the presenting of the loyalty banner to the Senior class. The class percentage was ninety-five. The Freshmen received second place with a percentage of sixty-five. The Juniors received third place with a percentage of sixty. The Sophomores received fourth place with a percentage of thirty. The loyalty banner now hangs in the Main Room with a '22 on it. Much credit is due to Miss Carmody, the Domestic Science girls, Miss Norris, Mr. Arvold, and everyone who had anything to do with the banquet, for it was a huge success. JUNIOR PROM The Junior Prom, next to the Loyalty Banquet, the biggest social event of the season, is to be held in the new gymnasium on April twenty-eighth. The Junior class is busily at work, preparing to make the prom this year the best ever given in the R. H. S. Marden Philips has been elected prom chairman. The class is going to try to give everyone a good time and is trying to avoid making this social event a formal dress affair. Netzo’s orchestra is to furnish the music. All students of the high school and members of the faculty are to be invited, with the Seniors as guests of honor. Each member of the Junior and Senior classes is to be allowed to submit the names of four gentlemen friends whom he would like to see invited to the prom. These names are looked over by the invitation committee and those who can pass roll are given invitations. Knowing the spirit and pep of the Junior class and the way in which the members are already working, we do not think we make a mistake when we predict a great success for the prom.
