Lewis 19 28 Page twelve °)ho G IL E AM E IBL 19 IS CA Message Education is the goal of intelligent people. By education we mean the cultivation and development of one's personal traits and abilities. We have no reference to one's progress through any institution of learning but rather one's progress and development through life. The place of the school in life is. therefore, a training ground where habits may be formed, where trial and error may be experienced, and where children are taught to rely upon their own brains for solutions to their own problems. Thus we have sought in our small way to build this school upon the principle that contact with fine men and women is the first requisite for building citizenship and character. Great universities are great because great men come in contact with the youth. Following the same philosophy, our youth in the high schools and elementary schools of the land ought to be brought into contact with the highest type of men and women obtainable. We feel that our attempt has not been in vain. We are sure that our teachers are. generally speaking, of the class who have striven to stimulate a process which might grow into wisdom. They have consistently sought to urge understanding, to encourage a healthy curiosity for, and sympathy with, things of the mind and things of the imagination. If. in the years to come, we see the present youth of Reedsburg doing constructive thinking in the world about us. we shall feel thankful that we played some small part in planning and caring for their development and progress during our short contact with them. Thus, we shall feel that we have helped in their real education. R. F. Lewis Page thirteen The girl in our office is the sweetest girl Of all the girls we know, Each day some deed of kindness lends Which makes her the best of friends; The blue of her eyes and the gold of her hair Add a charm to her mirth and joy; The R. H. S. sure would hate to part From the sweetheart of Sticky Gleue. (To the tune of The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi.) Page fourteen %e G LEANER 19 28 Bechtolt. Helen T. English B. A.. Ottcrbein College.

We crossed the threshold of this higher institution of learning with sixty-eight members early in September, the year of our Lord 1924. Our first year was not marked by any outstanding signs of future greatness, although we did have a fair degree of egotism and self respect. Of course all the upper classmen and the Sophomores in particular looked down upon us. but we held our peace. We had chosen Miss Bcchtolt as our advisor and we were positive of success and prestige in the future. Our second year was one of more remarkable deeds. With Mr. Ruehl as our advisor, we continued the second lap of our march toward Graduation. We remembered the advances the Sophomores had made upon us the year before so we used our superior power to make things particularly disagreeable for the Freshmen. In our third year the Class of 1928 came to the front of the stage. We disregarded the long established precedent that the Loyalty Banner should be held exclusively by the Seniors. With Miss Gerling leading us we won the Loyalty Banner from the class of '27 and thus secured their everlasting enmity. This year was equally distinguished by our Junior Prom which was equal in beauty and prominence to any which had come before. As Seniors we publish this 1928 Gleaner. It is pleasant for us to think of the fact that we have always supplied a majority of the students participating in the many outside activities of the school. Throughout our four years the class of 1928 has aided, boosted and boasted every activity. As time speeds on we will soon find ourselves enrolled in the busy world, ever knowing that we cannot ride upon the shoulders of ease but must toil our upward way to gain the summit of our higher ideals.

W E 19 in Sophomores Psychoanalyzed To comply with the recent regulation that all people, when they reach Sophomore age, should be thoroughly examined in the latest scientific, psychological manner, the members of the Sophomore class were subjected to an examination by a board of therapeutists. psychiatrists, psychologists, physiologists, and sociologists. The startling results were set forth in a letter to Mr. Lewis. As the great mistake was made of allowing Susy Claridge to read it, rumors were soon being circulated throughout the class, and we all gathered after school to discuss them. We learned that Evelyn Ninnemann had a suppressed desire to be very, very wild. She wanted to run twice around the Main Room very fast, waving; her arms and yelling Woopie.’' Evelyn looked profoundly shocked at this information, but we all gazed upon her with suspicion. Somebody whispered into my ear that the thing which Verna Faivre has been brooding over is the fact that gentlemen prefer blondes. The same person also whispered that Anne Kalman entertained ambition of being a champion basketball player but that the psychists had said such was impossible until every bit of curl was gone from her hair. Then Mata came up and said she had heard that the psychologist said Russel Schacke had the mind and temperament of a poet. He was very lyrical and would make an ideal lover. At this Marty Foster sighed so rapturously that we all became very disgusted. The physiolgist told Joyce that Flo Zeigfield was looking for curves and that she might in time become the leading chorus lady in America. Esther Dargel's chief ambition was to be a dairy maid and as there was nothing very threatening in this, they had spent very little time on her. Over Mary Sweeney, however, (even though she rushed breathlessly in just as they were finishing) they debated long and earnestly, for they found that at her tender age she was already spreading Irish propaganda. Beau Fenster. our young Adonis, was found to have the mind and methods of a bootlegger, while Herb Wolters had the qualities necessary to an ideal distributor. Page forty-two %e GLEANER, 19 28 A grcvious mistake had been made. Rcsella, Mercie. and Nettie, who had insisted upon being examined together, had been turned out of the building by the psychist who wouldn't believe they weren't Freshmen. Billy Tait was so quiet and unobtrusive, he was entirely overlooked in the rush. Herbert Schulte was found to be absolutely perfect and normal except in the left lobe of the medulla oblongata where one tiny atom of an atom is missing. Mildred Ray's brain is normal but a bit cramped by the hinges of her tongue which reach far back, causing the tongue to wag constantly. James Gregory has a bad case of exaggerated ego, DuWayne melancholia, and Willie Westerfeldt was all wrapped up in an idea for synthetic hog food. Laurene Baer was too bashful to answer questions, so did not have much of an analysis, while Irma Grantin giggled so uncontrollably at the queer looking instruments that the doctors became disgusted and dismissed her. When Margaret Manion was an infant in the cradle, someone had continually sung Hush My Little Owlet.” It had left such an impression that she never raised her voice. Helen Hickey has a very impressionable mind, and, we learned, often communes with the spirits who tell her queer things. It is from them she learned her insane fear of fire. Lawrence Benseman had not yet been disillusioned and still believed in fairies: about Santa Claus, however, he was entertaining doubts. Maxine Miehe was in love and her mind was so saturated with it that nothing else whatever could be found in it. William Schroeder seemed so immensely pleased with himself that the psychologists had not the heart to disillusion him. We were all horrified at the rumor concerning Sonny Haas. The doctors had found that the pigment of his hair was so strongly dyed with red that it was beginning to permeate his mind and by the time he was fully grown he would be a raving anarchist. The same condition was true of Red Wheeler but owing to a milder pigment his fancy was dwelling on pink teas and red lips. At this information there was such a rush by the feminine element, who had always thought him bashful, that it was necessary for Miss Nashold to maintain order. Our president, Alderine Wischhoff, was found to have the mind of a great executive. So many conflicting emotions were found in the mind of Catherine Quimby that nothing whatever could be derived out of the chaos. The physiologist gave Wilbur Powell a freckle cream and after that nothing could be found in his mind but contentment. In the case of Gertrude Wolter, the faculty was advised to be very careful about the impressions given her for once her mind was set nothing could change it. When John Brice’s turn came, it took so long for his brain cells to start working that the psychist discharged him without decision. Page forty-three %e G1LEAMEH 191 Rosina Baldner, they argued, had a mathematical mind and would shine in the commercial world, while Hazel Gardner would take her place in domestic life. The theraupists agreed that Dorothea Mueller had the most admirable disposition in the class. She was most tolerant, patient, and kind. We learned that Henry Grote was the original “I'm from Missouri type, that Dorothy Roper, because of her blonde hair and pink cheeks had an overwhelming attraction for males of the opposite complexion, and that Ethel Parkhurst's mind was all jumbled from turning sommersaults. Henry Weier's basic ambition has been to visit New York's night clubs ever since Mr. Cornell’s thrilling description of them. We were sure either the psychists or Susy must have made a mistake when we heard that Marty Foster had an obvious streak of deviltry and was apt to be quite unconventional at times. Lucille Riggert had an elongated brain cell, Myra Sands a stubby one. Shocking to find, Thelma Outcalt had a secret passion for Mr, Neis, and was slowly pining away for love of him. Henry Schroeder had such a highly developed sense of rhythm his ear drums beat continually. Mata Schuette's being was filled with California sunshine and visions of herself as a Mack Sennet bathing beauty. The study of Geology would always have a great fascination for Agnes Grandy, on account of her love for big and little stones. Marion Black was a promising athlete, Anola Schwantz had a secret desire to run away and join the circus. Pink lemonade had always fascinated her. Reinhold Tietje was declared to be a typical ladies’ man and the coming Henry Ford. Esther Krueger firmly believed herself to be an angel and the ideal had such a powerful effect she was sprouting wings. Robert Frambs had a keen analytic mind and would someday be a master in theology.—if he could resist politics that long. All parts of Elmer's mind were functioning, sports, music, dramatics, and all studies alike. Marvin Thorne's mischief plasm had taken up so much place that there wasn't any room for his growing plasm. Portia Kelley was a vamp. We had despaired of any more news after this when Harold Fenster came running up (a flock of girls at his heels) to say that Evelyn Mack had It . EDITOR'S Noth:—We attribute Audrey Huntley's extreme reticence regarding herself to a complex of fear motivated by the pathological effect of Susy’s amorous attentions.

Being relieved from our duties for a few days we decided to vacation in Boston. On the train we were very much astonished to find that the conductor was Clifford Camp. At noon as we sat in the dining car we noticed the beaming countenance of Ferdinand Schmidt, who later informed us that he was salesman for the great literary hit, Why Girls Fall For Basket-ball Players. by I la Gates. At the next station, who should get on the train but Hazel Craker and Melvin Krey. manufacturers of Craker Krey Crackers. During our afternoon that Miss Craker informed us that Charles Gill was running for the presidency of Czechoslavakia against his opponent. Katherine Phillips. On arriving in Boston, we went to Hotel Laschinski. At dinner we were greeted by Herman Dorow, now the president of Hillpoint. and Viola Niemann who has built up a successful skyscraping business in Detroit. Viola told us that her former fiance. Bill Austin, was posing as a model in a Paris shop. With this group of dear old friends we decided to attend the theatre. When we arrived there we were most pleased to find that the ushers were none other than Elwood Wischhoff and Darrell Shultis. After settling ourselves comfortably in our seats we were aroused by a piercing sound from the front seat. I went up to investigate and found Mr. Allan Palmer with his wife, formerly Margaret Donahue, and their five children. Mrs. Palmer informed us that she had named her children after some of her old classmates. Roscoe was named after Rose Morley. now a famous orator. Roberta was named after Robert Keith, who was eaten by cannibals in Samoa. Ernestine was named after Ernest Stanhope, a famous baritone soloist. Mil-ton was named after Mildred Quimby. a Paris dressmaker. Norman was named after Norma Von der Ohe. wife of a village minister. Pai?e forty-eight Just then the lights went out and the News Reel started. The first picture, to our astonishment, was that of Mary Alice Sands, escaped criminal, wandering at large in the Florida everglades. She is wanted by the great detective Kenneth Kelly and the famous sleuth Ivan Schroeder. for robbing the society debutante. Elvira Koenecke. of her jewels. We were very much frightened when the next picture showed a huge lion jumping at our old friend Dorothy Dorow. now a lion tamer in a circus. We next saw a pictuie of the ballroom of Winifred Ray's Old Maid's Refuge in which Cedric Brimmer was teaching the youngest of them the Black Bottom. Just then, hearing a loud laugh in back of us. I turned to see who it was. Imagine my surprise when I saw Margaret Hasz, famous for her numerous marriages. I then turned around again in time to see a picture of Aurelia Droes flashed on the screen. She was cheer-leader for some co-eds of the University of Hamburg. Germany. I was hoping to see more pictures of my classmates, but the News Reel stopped and the movie “Flaming Youth” began. The star was Dawnine Haines. By the time we had recovered from the shock, the movie was over and the vaudeville was starting. The vaudeville was the Alexander Frolics, managed by Ralph Alexander. The Giggling Girls Chorus came on first led by the star. Lucille Monn. The Gigglers were Alma Harmes, Lucille Schleden, Dorothy Meyer. Eunice Stolte. Mildred Zimmerman. Elva Wolters, Ruth Wolley, Gertrude Gee. Grace Heitman. Alice Burmeister, Eileen Wheeler. Margaret Zimmerman, and Catherine Hansen.. These were followed by the Gentlemen's Glee Chorus, in which were our friends. Robert Riggert. Otto Schrank, Ray' Wallace. Frederick Lang. Roger Montgomery. Gilbert Leutkins. Ernest Mueller. Gilbert Retslaff. and Harold Zech. At the end the frivolous butterfly, Ruth Steinweg. executed some fancy steps. We had returned to the hotel and were conversing in the lobby when our attention was drawn to a loud radio stationed in the lobby. The announcement was just being made that Marguerite Ost had won the women's bowling championship of the world. He also informed us that Catherine Sweeney had just finished the first non-stop flight from pole to pole. He then announced that the next number would be Valera Devereux, reciting her latest poem. “The Old Home Town.” Next we heard an orchestra led by Carol Schroeder. While we were listening, who should stroll past, but Phillip Montgomery and his young wifeJ_£ae Heitcamp. They had just come from New York, where they met John Bates, who was working in a barber shop there. While we were talking, a familiar figure in a frock-coat, boots, and with a corn-cob pipe in his hand, clumped heavily into the room. When he spoke we recognized the merry voice of Andrew Dwyer, who had become a country deacon. He told us of Edna Niebuhr, who is a missionary in the Gobi Desert. The next morning we started for Bughouse Bones Museum, which was managed by Rex Buelow. On the way we met Evelyn White, who was going from house to rage forty-nine %e GLEANER 9 8 house selling her butter and eggs. We were guided through the museum by Ruth Hughes. Ruth told us that she had just heard that Evelyn Reines had swum the Pacific Ocean. Ruth also showed us some bones that Charles Phillips, a professor of zoology, had just sent from the Sahara Desert. As we were leaving the museum we ran into Anna Yor-man, who was vacationing from her duties as Latin teacher in Reedsburg. After spending a few more delightful days with our former classmates we returned to our homes. Page fifty O E E A.

They have played for football games, basketball games, local tournament games, Farmer's Institute, and the Art Exhibit, besides appearing in the Junior and Senior High Main rooms. The band is preparing to attend the Band Tournament to be held at Waupun on the 1 8th and 1 9th of May. The piece they have selected to play is Harmony Queen. They are working very hard and we know they will come back with honors for our R. H. S. They will give a concert in the assembly some evening in preparation for the tournament. This year a new snare drum and a baritone saxaphone were purchased for use in our band. Every effort is exerted for the promotion of musical enrichment among the students. Besides the band work, Mr. Stireman organized a so-called Saxtctte which consisted of twelve members: Vida Niebuhr. Dan Doyle. Lester Schulter, Arthur Krueger, Elizabeth Sorge, Byron McKewin. Lloyd Churchill, Roland Brown, Fred Freide, Raymond Reuland, Phyllis Ehlert, and Leo Parkhurst. This was a new undertaking on the part of the band members and Mr. Stireman. The Saxtette appeared on several programs: Main Room programs. Junior High programs, Farmer's Institute, and at the Old Settler's program, and were welcomed with enthusiasm. Mr. Stireman is deserving of much praise and consideration for his earnest efforts in producing a band we can be proud to call our own. Page fifty-six %e GLEANER. 19 2 8 The Orchestra, under the able leadership of Miss Nienaber resumed its activities at the beginning of the school year. Every Wednesday night the respective members strolled up to the R. H. S. and toiled incessantly on their various instruments. But it pays!!! Again and again they responded with eager enthusiasm to their requests. Their first public appearance was at the Agricultural Fair. Other services performed with willingness were for the Christmas Program, assembly period. Art Institute Program. Farmers Institute Program. H. S. Plays, and last bur not least the Loyalty Feast. On account of scanty material in the string section, a violin class was started among the children in the grades to prepare them for the future orchestra of the R. FI. S. So every Saturday. Jack Kalman came and helped fifteen members learn properly the manipulation of the bow and string.” We hope that this faithful work will bring glowing results. Page fifty-seven Euthenics Club The Euthenics Club is made up of girls who are now taking Home Economics, and whose scholastic averages are between eighty and eighty-five. On Tuesday night, every three weeks, the members meet in Room G, the purpose of these meetings being to bring the girls together in a social way, and to help them become more interested in the problems of home life. By giving programs and] serving refreshments, at these meetings, they learn to entertain more hospitably. The advanced students of the Club edited a booklet entitled “Hints on Dressmaking.” A dinner was served to the mothers of the members, the outcome of which showed much originality in thought and method of procedure. Many pretty garments were exhibited in the Co-operative store at the clothing exhibit held there in March. We hope the bright history of this world famous club will help to raise the standard of the school to which it belongs. Page fifty-eight Girls Glee Club The Freshman-Sophomore and Junior-Senior Glee Clubs have been combined. Both Glee Clubs sang in the Main Room for a short delightful program. They sang at the meeting of the Old Settlers this year. They sang several old fashioned songs, and appeared in quaint old fashioned costume. Miss Nienaber has worked successfully with the girls and we appreciate her efforts. Girls Athletic Association The aim of the Girls’ Athletic Association is to create better sportsmanship among the girls. All girls may win their ’’R's by the point system. Points may be won by hiking, skating, canoeing, rowing, skiing, and horseback riding. Points may also be won for membership on first and second teams of basketball, baseball, and volleyball. Page ilfty-nine Reedsburg Basket Ball Tournament The third annual supplementary tournament was held in the R. H. S. Gym on March 22. 23, and 24. The teams participating were: Fall River. New Lisbon. Prairie du Sac. Wonewoc. Muscoda. Lime Ridge. Norwalk, and Camp Douglas. Fall River, a new entry this year, carried away the silver basket ball. Each of the players was awarded a gold medal. New Lisbon took second place. Besides receiving silver medals, they won the silver loving cup. awarded by the R. H. S. faculty, for the conduct and appearance. Prairie du Sac carried away the bronze medals. Prairie had a good record, winning three out of four games. The crowds each afternoon and evening witnessed good, clean, fast games. There was a large crowd the last night, but it was not as large as the one last year. A banquet was served for the benefit of the teams. The domestic science girls were in charge of the dinner. The teams were then left in charge of the lettermen, each team having two managers. We are sure that the boys helped as best they could and that the coaches were very grateful. The officials of this year's tournament were Jack Murphy of Baraboo and Delbert Stacy of Reedsburg. The officiating was very well conducted by these two competent young men. The championship game was a fast and exciting one. Fall River started out with several baskets as a lead. They managed to keep several points ahead. New Lisbon threatened the lead several times, but could not obtain it. The score at the final whistle was 21-14. After the game, the trophies were awarded. An all-tournament team was then chosen by the officials. Those selected were: The finance committee, headed by Mr. Neis. report a fine total of receipts although they were not as good as last year. The mothers in the city responded very well in offering their homes to the many boys of the tournament. Reedsburg is proud to have been host to so many fine, gentlemanly, young men and we will await with pleasure the tournament of next year. Forward and Captain Forward L. Kauhnan. Prairie du Sac N.

With the natural high percentage of rural students in the Reedsburg High School. th;s department is rapidly finding its place in serving their needs. Besides these students, there are many mote in the territory not in school, who should see the advantages of a high school training when they find that it gives them something practical in their own line of work. Three courses have been offered throughout the year. Farm Crops was offered in the Freshman year. It took up the study of plant growth, varieties of crops, plant diseases, soils, and fertility problems. In the Sophomore year, the study of Farm Animals acquainted the boys with the different breeds and breed types, proper feeding, and the study of milk production. Farm management with its problems of rent, taxes, credit, marketing, and rural organization was offered to the combined group of Juniors and Seniors. Next year should find the department ready to give a course in Farm Mechanics to this combined group. Thus, in the four years of high school, the rural boys can get a well rounded training in the science of agriculture at the Reedsburg High School. An evening class was also conducted during the winter months for boys not taking regular school work. This class, with slightly over twenty enrolled, met weekly to discuss the problems of feeding and caring for their dairy herds. From the interest shown by this group, this phase of the work of the department can be considerably increased next year. The rural school children, too. found that there was an interesting part for them in this work. Last year there were two 4-H Calf Clubs organized with twenty-one members. This year the number has been increased three or four times. These boys and girls took a great deal of interest in. and derived much benefit from, their competition at the Community Fair, the County Fair, and the possibility of a trip for a few. to the State Fair. The annual State Livestock Judging Contest at Madison. October 21 and 22. 1927. found tftfo teams entered from our department. There was considerable competition among the members of the Farm Animals Class early in the fall to see who would have the honor of representing Reedsburg High School at this contest. The final selection of teams was: livestock team—Victor Repka. William Westerfeldt and Carl Behnke, meat judging team—James Gregory, Eugene Gallagher, and Floyd Powell, with Herbert Phillips as alternate. While neither of these teams received a winning place, both did very creditable work, the boys gained much experience and are looking forward to putting Reedsburg among the winners at the contest this fall. Page sixty-onc The Community Fair One of the liveliest occasions of our school year was our first Community Fair, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, and held in the high school gymnasium and auditorium, under the guidance of the agricultural department, on October 7 and 8. 1927. Because of the splendid cooperation of everyone having any part in it, it was very successful, showing what a community can do when it gets together on it. The agricultural products departments of Grains and Forage Crops. Fruits and Vegetables, and Flowers and Plants were fine displays of the result of the year's labor on the surrounding farms. The home economics exhibit of Baking. Canning and Sewing, showed an equally fine array of things of the farm households. Probably the finest feature of the Fair was the display of the different rural school booths. Eighteen schools took part in this competition, while several others were kept out only on account of the poor roads or lack of facilities to gather their material together. Each booth was filled with the products of its own school district, put in place and decorated by the teacher, pupils, and patrons of the school. Assistant Dean J. A. James of the College of Agriculture said that it was the best exhibit of school booths he had ever judged. Too much credit cannot be given the teachers for their efforts in preparing the exhibits and the evening program made up on one number from each school. Here the auditorium proved inadequate to hold the crowd and the program was repeated in the Junior High which was too small for the over flow crowd. The competition of the booth exhibits was very close and the final placing was: Four Oaks, 1st: East Reedsburg. 2nd: Twin Pine. 3rd: Montgomery. 4th: and Hay Creek. 5th. The big. silver Sweepstakes Cup. however, which was to go to the school district making the best showing in all departments of the Fair was won by Excelsior with a total of 929 points. Hay Creek was 2nd with 760 points, and Hickory Grove was 3rd with 660 points. This cup must be won three times by a school to become its permanent possession and competition is going to be keen next fall to determine its winner.

The original purpose of the Loyalty Banquet was to honor the Football fellows. At this time, the boys were awarded their letters—the well-known R . The rivalry for the Loyalty banner causes much excitement. The class having the highest average in participation and support of athletics, in scholarship, and attendance at school, has the honor of having their numerals put on the Loyalty Banner and on the High School Dome. PROM A very beautiful and entertaining prom was given by the Juniors of the R. H. S. in honor of the departing Seniors, on April 20. The gym was decorated in black and white. Large black umbrellas hung from the ceiling. Sihouettes decorated the balcony sides. Punch was served in the gym during the evening. A lunch room, of colonial style, was occupied by many who found lunch inviting. “Doc Wilson's orchestra from Fond du Lac furnished the peppy and sometimes dreamy music. fuse sixty-four %e GILEAIER 7 9 28 Reminiscence SEPTEMBER September 6— When we were young and innocent One day to school we went: And in the next few pages You will hear of our rampages.

With a year s experience he developed into the big end’’ of our line. His fighting spirit helped win many a battle. Don Townsend Don was a Jack of all trades. He could play any position that was offered him. Most of his playing was done at center and guard. He showed himself as an able football player. We'll miss him next year. Eggs Fuhrmann ''Eggs” was our tackle and he sure knew how to stop ’em cold. We hope he will show as much and more spirit next season as he did this year. Adolf Friede Coffee was on the team again this year with all his fight. When anyone came near him. Bang! It's too bad he can't come back next year and help the team out. PAUL WF.STEDT Mike filled up a big hole in the line at guard. He came to be our star punter. At the beginning of the season he started at full-back, but due to an injury he was forced into the line. He’s another that will be back next year. Ray Reuland Ray developed into a husky center this year. He was always in the center of the fight, urging his team on to victory. It will be a hard job to find someone to take Ray's place next year and have it filled as he filled it. Elmer Niebuhr Elmer was the small end of the family. What he lacked in size he made up in fight and ability. With a year's experience and two more to go he ought to be a knockout. All he needs is a little more beef on his bones. Page seventy-two %e G ]L IE AN E 1FL X9%8 Letter Men Max Shultis Max was our other tackle. Besides being large and brawny, he could run. He was always the first one there on a punt or kickoff. Besides being strong and brave he was very superstitious. He never shaved before a game and when anyone rubbed against his whiskers they thought they were being sandpapered. At Fuhrmann Our next years captain will always be remembered by local football fans. His fighting blood was always aroused when some one hit him on the nose. Next year A1 will turn loose and then there'll be trouble brewing. Good luck. Al! Junior Hummel Junior was also one of our ' four horseman. He was a good runner and tackier. He also played end, in fact, he was good most any place. We don't know whether he’s Irish or not. but he sure has the fighting blood in him. Nick’' Davis Wilson guided the team at quarter back. He was a fleet runner and a good bail carrier. His ability will be missed greatly next year. ‘‘Gene Seymour Gene played in the backfield. Although he did not have as good a chance as some of the others, he showed his stuff when called upon to do so. He was a good runner and was very good at smearing and intercepting opponent’s passes. He also has another year left and, to be sure, he will make good. Ed Davis Ed., the brother of the galloping quarterback also carried the ball at half. When it came to passes he was always there, and he could knock ’em down, too. When we needed a few yards. Ed was always ready to carry on. ragre seventy-three The Season Coach Sauger called for football candidates the day school started. About thirty men turned out. of which nine were lettermen, including Captain Lloyd Churchill. SPRING GREEN VS. REEDSBURG The opening game was scheduled for September 24. Although it was the first game, the team looked very promising. The score was a tie. 12-12. KILBOURN VS. REEDSBURG On October 1, the boys were raring to go. They met Kilbourn for their first victory. During the first half, the score remained 0-0. The boys pepped up the second half and made two touchdowns, netting us twelve points. RICHLAND CENTER VS. REEDSBURG On the eighth, our hopes were lowered by a defeat by our old rival Richland Center. The day was fine and the field was better, but still our boys did not prove themselves heroes. The final score was 14-0. BARABOO VS. REEDSBURG The team took a decided change from the preceding week and played good football. Baraboo expected to beat us up in good shape, but the boys were set on winning. Although we were not victorious, the game was very exciting. A scoreless tie ended the game. TOMAH VS. REEDSBURG The northern invaders advanced upon us on the 22nd. They also expected to mark up another victory on their side, but were unsuccessful. This game was of high standing and was witnessed by a large crowd. The game ended 12-12. BARABOO VS. REEDSBURG Our boys went to Baraboo to break the old jinx held by Baraboo for a number of years. As it was Baraboo’s homecoming game, their spirit was high. Determined as our gang was, they were defeated 32-0. SPARTA VS. REEDSBURG On Armistice Day. our boys declared war on Sparta. This was our homecoming and was celebrated by a mass meeting the night before. The Sparta team was a strong team, being undefeated by a conference team the last two years. But there is always the first time and this was it. Our team took Sparta right off their feet at the start. A1 Fuhrmann made all the points, two touchdowns and a goal. The second touchdown was gained by an intercepted pass and a run of about 60 yards. The score was 13-0. This great victory brought our rather successful football season to a close. We were not defeated on our own field. Immediately after the last game A1 was unanimously elected captain for next year. The Seniors wish Al and his warriors the best of luck next year. Page seventy-four g)hi GLEAIER, 192 Coach Stacy l nK‘“ seventy-five %e GLEANER, 19 18 PAUL Krueger: Our captain led his team through a very successful season. He was a very good defensive player and also good on the offense, scoring the highest number of points on the team. He held down the center position and it will be a hard job to get a player to fill his place. Paul was Vice-President of the so-called Bachelors' Club.” ARTHUR Krueger: Art was often called the other end of the Krueger family. He was a whirlwind at a forward position. He also added a number of points to his team’s scores. BYRON McKEWIN: Duge” was our other forward. He was rather short but made up for his size in speed and points. Next year he will have his position cinched on the team. PAUL WESTEDT: Bod was one of our guards. He was a good player when it came to guarding the basket. He will be the main figure in our defense next year. ADOLF FRIEDE: Dolf was also situated at a guard position. He should be remem- bered for his ability to take the ball up the floor and get the ball off the bounding-board. The team will miss him next year. Page seventy-six Albert FUHRMANN: “Al” was our flashing forward. He was a good dribbler and when a player heard his booming voice he jumped out of the way. A1 will be a great asset to our team next season. WILLIAM STRAMPE: “Bill” was a good all round consistent player. Although he did not have as good a chance to play as some of the rest, he will be raring to go next year. Bill played center and forward. DONALD IQWNSEND: “Don” held the position of running guard this year and it will be hard to find someone to take his place. He played clean and fast games throughout. 1 i� Ke seventy-seven %e GLEAMER, 1928 fa The Season VIROQUA VS. REEDSBURG The boys gave coach Stacy a Christmas present on the 22nd by defeating Viroqua in our first conference game. Last year Viroqua defeated Reedsburg, so the team was anxious for revenge. Reedsburg jumped into the lead early in the game and held it to the end. The score this time was 19-12. VIROQUA VS. REEDSBURG Our return game came on Friday. January 13. Even though it was Friday, the 13th, we beat Viroqua 18-15. The game was a fight from beginning to end. SPARTA VS. REEDSBURG On the next night, January 14. the team went to Sparta. The game here was rather slow and ended in our first defeat. Sparta won 24-8. TOMAH VS. REEDSBURG On January 27, Tomah came down with their giants to beat us. Tomah has one of the largest teams in the state. The game was a fast one. ending a tie 19-19. During the overtime period. Dug'' made one of his dilly shots, winning the game for the R. H. S. with a score of 21-19. BARABOO VS. REEDSBURG On the 2nd of February, the gym was packed. Baraboo came up a thousand strong to beat R. H. S.. their old rival. It was a close game all the way through and a minute before the end, we were one point ahead. On the next play Baraboo made an almost impossible shot which put the score in their favor. The Baraboo time-keeper blew his whistle, which unofficially ended the game. As time was not up. the crowd waited, but Baraboo would not come and finish the game. The way the score now stands is B. H. S. 17 and R. H. S. 16 TOMAH VS. REEDSBURG On the 17th of February. Reedsburg journeyed to Tomah. The locals led at the half, 5-4. During the 3rd quarter, Tomah sank several long shots. Reedsburg could not get the lead back. Tomah won 16-9. SPARTA VS. REEDSBURG On February 24. we entertained Sparta. The first part of the game looked like a victory for Sparta. The first quarter ended 11-0 in favor of Sparta. The next quarter was different and the half ended 13-10 in favor of Sparta. The second half Reedsburg held Sparta to only free throws while they piled up 12 points for themselves. Our last game was a victory 23-16. Two games, one with Baraboo, there, and one with La Crosse, here, were postponed on account of the epidemic of Scarlet Fever. All public places were closed and therefore the games were cancelled. In spite of this fact, our team’s record was such as to warrant the committee asking our boys to take part in the District Tournament at Sparta. This was the first time in several years that we have been represented in the District meet. In spite of the fact that the boys had been kept from practice for two weeks, and consequently were not in the proper trim for tournament play, the record made at Sparta was decidedly gratifying. The first game was with Tomah, one of the strongest teams represented and it resulted in a decisive victory for the purple and white, 22-10. The second night the boys showed their lack of training while losing to Sparta 21-10. In the third game they strove valiantly, but Prairie du Chien defeated them in the last minute by a score of 1 8 to 17. We feel that the team and Mr. Stacy are deserving of our sincere congratulations for their splendid perseverance against odds.
