R. SCHWEKE A M. HULBERT MRS. S. B. MAXHAM D. A. WOODSON A MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS No matter what heights of success in life you attain, friend Senior, your progress is a succession of periods of creative thinking, active idealizing, and enthusiastic leadership interrupted by moments of sincere appreciation, passive reflection and self-controlled following. Modern industrialism and commercialism are constantly reducing the time and work required to provide the material things of life, and simultaneously increasing the opportunities for living a fuller life as we better our preparation by the utilization of our added leisure time. Your education thus far must manifest its worth in aiding you to continue to exercise control, develop FLOYD SMITH, Superintendent direction, and create an ambition to live the richer life of seeing, knowing and appreciating the vorks of Nature and Man. Must shrewd and thrifty will be the person who best controls the power of selfishness and greed, who registers conscientious efforts to render service toothers, who realizes the potential value of the youth of the land as the future leaders, and who arranges time to keep recreated the mind, body and soul, by indulgence in socially and physically rich diversions of the out-of-doors. May your leadership be most wholesome, your following genuinely intelligent, your economic endeavors reasonably sufficient, and your recreational activities thoroughly enriching these comprise my sincere wish for each of you.

COLORS: Orchid and Sand FLOWER: Orchid Chrysanthemum HISTORY OF CLASS OF ’33 If you can for the space of a few minutes look back once more to the year of 1921 —we'll endeavor to picture for you our struggles, pleasures, and sorrows, those twelve years following that great occasion, the first day of school. In 1921, a class of thirty-eight pupils entered the old red South School to begin their long struggle for an education. It seems that our class must have grown considerably from that first year in both number and intelligence, until at length we had completed our elementary education, and entered upon four years of High School. We know all of you Seniors will agree with us, that our Freshman year in High School was the happiest, most exciting time that we ever hope to again experience. We entered High School with the largest class on record; we were one hundred twelve in number. A great deal of credit, goes to our Freshman Class Adviser—Miss Helen Bechtolt. She helped our class through their first green year, and saw us acquire enough wisdom to be classified as Sophomores, ready for what ever might be our fortunes. Our second year seemed to be at hand before we realized it. Miss Wendt-land was our Adviser. What would we have done without her? She always seemed to keep a fresh supply of clever ideas on hand for our pep meetings. Yes, we know that we didn’t carry off the Loyalty Banner that year—but we did have the honor of winning first place on our table decorations—in both our first and second years. During all of the rush that always seems to follow exams, and preparation for Loyalty Feast, a very great shock was in store for us, that was indeed to bring grief to the hearts of many of our fellow class mates, Wilbert Wolters met with sudden death, icontinued on 26] [15] Top Row: Middle Row: Lower Row: E DWARD BRU N H OE FE R— Ed Intrnmural Glantbpll 2, 3; Vol-leyb II 1, 2. 3. 4;; Basketball 3. 4; Kittenhail 3, 4; Football Squad 3 4 ; Baseball 3. 4.

HISTORY OF CLASS OF ’33 (Continued from page 151 And, now for that busy year as upper class men. Why, it seemed we never could have been as tiny or as green as some of these little “frosh” were. I wonder? Much to our happiness and poor Miss Wendtland's sorrow, she was again called upon to be our Class Adviser. How could we express our thanks and praises to her for all her work and worry of that year with our Prom! And what a grand prom it was; an Oriental Garden, full of beautiful maidens, as well as flowers, and of course we can’t forget the handsome men. Already, we are Seniors, our last year! Through, with four years of happiness that none of us will ever be able to forget. Above all, let us one and all raise our thanks and apprecitation to Miss Grace Hart, our Senior Class Adviser. We hope the future Seniors have an Adviser like her, because, she’s the best there is. Sorrow came once more to all of us—when we heard of the untimely death of Robert Schluter, one of the finest, most loyal, and conscientious members of our class. Through the able coaching of Miss Lorraine Hickey, our Class Play was a huge success, although, it too, now rests in our minds as just another happy memory. And now with the Senior Class play still fresh in our memories, our minds turn to graduation and commencement day, just a short time off. Now we think back through our four years of High School and to the justice in which Mr. Smith, our . rincipal, has dealt with each and every member of ninety-eight graduating S1|assmates. It makes us sad, to think that at last we too have reached the point in life, when we must leave our High School, and go out into the world ready; after our fine education, for what ever may be in store for us. the 1955 Gleaner Top Row: Bernard Fisher, Arnold Lueders, Merlin Courtier.

Skipper of the fleet—the grand Juniors choose Larry as their president for the 3rd year. Sept. 24. The Wis.

We must rise and follow her. When from every gill of flame She calls and calls each vagabond by name.” And first Report Cards call each failure. In the first conference game of the season Marcus Lange scored the first touch down soon after the game started, when he caught a pass on Viroquas 20 yard line and ran the remaining 20 yards to the goal line. That’s the kind of “MEN” we have in our class. Oct. 8. Sweeney played a bang up game from his full back position-scored two touch downs one on a plunge and the other on a 60 yard run after intercepting a Baraboo pass. Do our Irish Juniors play good football? Oct. 14. Did we give the swell party!

Fabin Wright and a “Stone” liked to skate way up to Hay Creek What do You think! Nov. 30. Well, here it is almost the happy month of December and Dur-wood McQueen can't even sleep wondering what Santa C. is going to leave him. “Only the sea intoning. Only the wainscot mouse. Only the wild wind moaning Over the lonely house.” And the vacant school house Christmas is here. Dec. 2. The Sophies are learning fast; sponsored a keen mixer. Dec. 9. Did Tommy S. ever shine in that Mauston B. B. game tonight. Dec. 1 I. Today is another day of anxiety—report cards. Dec. 19. Lang shone and how! in the second teams game., and Harold —ever sink the pretty baskets! You tell em—Why shouldn’t he, when our office girl was rooting for him— Oh yes, and then too we must’nt forget the Portage prom that 2 of our female Jr. class mates attended. Heard they had a swell time, but they sure missed a swell game. Dec. 2 1. Boy what a game every one played great basket ball, Tom and Lutkins were outstanding from our class tho’!

Feb. I. Portage debate, dual one at that. Feb. 3. Tomah here, first team and North Freedom second team. Feb. 10. Talk about your excited Juniors! They certainly had plenty of reason to be, —Oh yes, it was the fight of nights for our Otto, be prepaired for a shock girls, the “have you heard informs us that Otto has his date for the Junior prom with a Baraboo girl. BooHoo girls. I know it is hard to take, “But can we take it.” Feb. 14. Dorothy Foerster! My, and was she thrilled, darn near to tears, I’ll have you know she got a valentine “To My Sweet Heart” signed “Casper” and all were very interested in Dr. Canfield’s short talk. Feb. 1 7. Logan here. Feb. 24. A big turn out of Juniors to night, of course there would be, with the Freshmen class giving it— and we won the Richland Center game too. I’ll have you know, and our Juniour star Luetkins made 10 points. Feb. 28. They tell us there’s another month about to be no more,— and that means the prom is coming closer—meaning work and lots of it. “Ah, march! we know thou art Kind-hearted, spite of ugly looks and threats. And so are the faculty. Mar. 4. Tommy Temple Hired, a $75.00 dollar orchestra—are we going to show that last year class what good dance music is. Mar. 14.

Last of the month and only 2 I days left until the prom! “The April winds are magical And thrill our tuneful frames— The garden walks are passional To bachelors and dames.” Not only garden walks, but school walks. Apr. 1. All fool’s day. Be not first to tumble! Apr. 2. The Prom! With Larry and Dorthy D leading the grand march how could it help but be a grand success. Now what will the other classes think of our class!! Apr. 29. Planned a Jr. Walk Out— but after thinking it over decided against it. “Sweet May hath come to love us Flowers, trees, their blossoms don. May 20. School is almost over, gee it’s been a busy year! May 26. The L. Feast —Pretty close, but not quite good enough’! “It is the month of June, The month of leaves and roses.

Jack Howland Bartlett Quimby Gwen Cobleigh Miss Webb SOPHOMORE MOCK TRIAL A aV It ‘Please The Court: This is a suit in the Reedsburg High School Auditorium in which the Plaintiff, Clara Smith, seeks to compel the Defendant, Bartlett Quimby, to pay the said Plaintiff obeisance because of his neglect to comply with his promised prom date. The plaintiff maintains that: 1. He failed to appear the evening of April 21. XHe said that he hadn’t even asked her. The Judge, Jack Howland, calls the court to order. The Jury, consisting of twelve members, lift up their ears when they see the witness come to the stand. [30] EXAMINATION OF THE PLAINTIFFS WITNESS. HELEN WOODSON: The first witness of the Plaintiff, Helen Woodson, takes the stand, she is sworn in by the clerk, Evan Powell. The plaintiff’s lawyer, Neil Dyke, questions her thus: 1. Your name. Helen Woodson. 2. Are you acquainted with Plaintiff? Why, certainly. 3. Where were you the night of April 2 I ? At the prom in the Reedsburg High School Gym. 4. With whom? Oh, must I tell? 5. Most assuredly. Who cares anyhow—Bob Winters. 6. What do you know about this case? A lot! The plaintiff bought her entire ensemble, had her hair finger waved, got a facial, and what not, and then of course awaited the arrival of her escort. 7. Do you know whether he really asked her? Yes. On March I 7 we went on a double date and on this night he asked her. I heard him! 8. Have you gone out together since? No. “I am through with the first witness.” But before we continue with the next witness let us stop and take a peek at the jury. Yes, that was very interesting, but look! Gwen Cobleigh, Dorothy Osenroth, Don Cooke, and Archie O’Keefe are playing Bridge, not only that, but they seem to be quarreling. Oh yes, Dorothy, Gwen had four honors, or didn’t she? Any how we hope the best side wins. Shhh-don’t make any noise. Bob Ost and Daniel Donahue are sleeping. Sweet Dreams! The rest of the jury is listening quite attentively except for Helen Su-szyeki. She’s working a “Jig Saw Puzzle” and Mildred Luetkins is helping her once in a while. Horrors! Who can bring this jury back to order? (Don’t all speak at once.) Now there are just two attentive members left. Rodney Haines and Irma Meyr are reading the funny papers. Dear me! I hope Mary Doyle and Harold Pohlmann will continue to give their devoted attention or else what will this case turn out to be? Going back again we see: THE SECOND WITNESS FOR THE PLAINTIFF, MARY HAGENAH: 1. Tell us what you know about this case. The night before the prom I walked home with Clare, from school. She told me about her dress. That night she went to get her wave. 2. Do you know whether or not he had asked her. No, but she told all about it quite a long while ago and I shouldn’t think she would get her drees ’n’ everything if she didn’t think she were going. 3. Is there any more you can tell us? No, except that I think it was a gyp. “Then that’s all. The witness may leave the stand.” EXAMINATION OF THE DEFENDANTS WITNESS. CHARLES CLARIDGE: The first witness as the Defendant takes the stand. He is questioned by the Defendant’s lawyer, Ignatius Hurly: 1. Areyou afriend of the defense? Ya, I’m his pal. 2. What is your opinion of this case? My opinion is that these dames don't know what they are talking about. They blab and never say thing of importance, gossip here at there and when they hear g tijmg they— [31] “I object: The court is no place for the members of the weaker sex fo be raked over the coals. (Lawyer Dyke) “Objection sustained!” (Judge Howland) Lawyer Hurley resumes the examination: 3. Now tell me the facts not the personal opinion of women. Well, in the first place 1 don't think he intended to go because he didn't have the cash and in the second place the money he had saved up for the prom he bought the book “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” I’m reading it now. 4. Do you know whether he invited her or not? No, but you can’t go by what women say. “If you can give no further witness you may leave the stand.” Judge Howland “Since some people have been so kind as to work up a little entertainment for the audience the court may be adjourned for a fifteen minute program. And what a grand entertainment it is. A male chorus, composed of Charles Bass, Alton Bethke, Joe Grogan, Bernard Cruise, Erich Flohr, Robert Foss, Herman Gall, Rheinhold Menschoff, Cooper Lange, and Erhart Lueders, sings Sweet Adeline.” Very good boys! How nice, here comes Al. Steinweg and Emma Boyd. They are selling candy and pop corn. How could they tell we were hungry? Since sax-aphone solos are liked by all, Portia Stone is giving us a treat by playing “Goofus.” Now Edith Seymor, June Shook, and Vera Seamandel, the Harmony Trio, sing “When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain.” They almost surpass the “Boswell Sisters.” Is this ever grand, Joyce Kirkpatrick, Vanita Niebuhr, Valera Oehlers, Mary Schulze, Madelene er, Edith Bindley, Alma Blohr, ; Gardner, Evangelinie Grau-Teresa Volk, Mildred Wendt, firth, LaVern Ziech, Vivian Leota Austin, the girls from Bessie Bates dancing class, are dancing the Black Bottom for us. They are accompanied by Blakesly Wheeler on his violin and Magdalene Fies on the piano. The costumes were designed by Noreane Kutz. Now three exponents of modern oratory, Lyman Mundith, Dean Thurstan, and Alex Yorman are each giving us a talk. They are allowed three minutes each. (Are we glad or aren’t we?) Judge Howland: “No more time can possiblv be taken up by this swell entertainment. It’s nearly dinner time and we’ll have to hurry. I’m hungry! We shall now resume the case.” But first let us look to see who is in the audience. There’s Lucille Baldner and Eleanor Donahue discussingsomething, maybe its about Technocracy. Way back in the last seat are Marjory Dryer, Leona Elf-ers, Merwin Fleming, Lucille Gavin and Nellie Hicks. Alice Lehmann and Delores Shulze are laughing continually. Among the large audience we see also, Huetta Markley, Eleanor Massman. Doris McKewin, Lome Outcalt, Evan Powell, Arleen Skinner, Robert Tibbitts, and Evelyn Vogel. Way in front is Harold Schleden. Neil Dyke cross examines the Defendant’s witness and likewise Ignatius Hurley cross examines the Plaintiff’s witness. Boy, oh boy! Look as those reporters! I bet they took more than two years of short hand to write that fast. Harlan Palmer is the “Times” reporter and Gordon Peck-ham the “Free Press” reporter while Richard Schultis is the Court reporter. Can’t tell which is the worst, excuse me I meant the best. All the witnesses having given testimony the jury departed into a small room at arrive to some decision. I wish they’d hurry! Finally! They give the slip of paper with the verdict to Judge Howland. He reads: “The jury could come to no definite conclusion and wishes the case to be postponed indefinitely.” the 1955 Gleaner Top Rou): Gilbert Schrank.

They have tied with LaCrosse Logan, Portage, and Richland Center, each team having won three conference games and losing but one. The season opened with a non-conference defeat by Wisconsin Dells, on September 24, by a score of 7-0, the game being played at Wisconsin Dells. This defeat was a surprise to the team and the entire community. It was followed by two swamping victories, the first one, a 13-0 victory over Viroqua and the second, the most outstanding game of the season, a victory over BARABOO, our “big city rivals,” by the score of 20-0.

This game was an exceptional one, and needs a paragraph by itself. Touchdowns were made in the first, third and fourth periods of the game. The first was made by Marcus Lange on a lateral pass, the other two were made by Tom Sweeyey, bv means of a line plunge and in the last minute of play, by an intercepted pass.

Mauston played a very fast passing game which gave them the victory. The local team did not play up to par in this game, they looked “rusty” in their playing. Perhaps the reason of this was, the lack of experience playing with each other, as a team. DEC 16— RKEDSBURG 22 PORTAGE 11—HERE Our “rusty looking team” looked one hundred per cent better in the next game with Portage. A scoring rally in the first quarter gave Reedsburg a lead of fourteen points. The half ended with a score of 16-6. Although Portage is in our conference, this game was not scheduled as a conference game. Our “B” team defeated the Portage “B’s” by a score of 17-10. |AN. 13—TOMAH 19 REEDSBURG 27—THERE In the first conference game of the season, Reedsburg was victorious at Tomah defeating them, 27-19. This game broke the Reeds- BASKETBALL IX1) IV11 )UALS Top Row. Cobleigli, Quimby, Luetkins, Sweeney Second Row.

The score at the end of the first half was 12-11, with Reedsburg leading. In the third quarter the local quintet obtained a safe lead which was left unhampered in the remaining part of the game. JAN. 20—BARABOO 25— REEDSBURG 18— HERE Our second conference game ended in a 25-18 defeat to Baraboo. During the greater share of the first half, Reedsburg’s chances seemed fairly good, for they were in the lead almost the entire first half. Near the end of the second quarter, Baraboo crept up and made the score a 10-10 tie at the end of the half. Our opponents constantly heaped up a bigger lead, and when the final whistle was sounded the score stood 25-18, with Baraboo in the lead. Again our second team won in their game, defeating the Baraboo “B’s” 21-7. JAN. 27—REEDSBURG 30—PLATTEVILLE “B” TEAM 22—HERE In a non-conference game, the local high school team defeated the I’latte-ville State Teacher’s Second Team by a score of 30-22. In the first half the Reedsburg five seemed to have another one of their “poor playing” streaks. This was, however, overcome in the second half for besides overcoming a seven point lead, they took a lead of eight points, when the game ended. FEB. 3—TOMAH IS—REEDSBURG 9—HERE The game that least should be said about is the Tomah game that was played here. The poorest playing of this year's team was surely shown in this game. Our team’s shooting and defense was very poor. Tomah scored all her points with short shots. Reedsburg was leading by four points at theC end of the first half. If we would have won this game we would have ljadja very good chance for the first place of the conference. the 1935 Gleaner FEB. 10— REEDSBURG 30— BARABOO 25—THERE The local team seemed to take the Tomah game to heart, for they surely made up for it in the game against Baraboo, by defeating them, 30-25. Both teams seemed to be on equal terms during the first half, for they were in a 10-10 tie at the end of the half. But in the third and fourth periods of the game it was much different, because the local live made 20 points to their opponents’ three points. Not more than six shots were missed by the team coached by DeLong, in the second half. This victory was also important from the standpoint that it took Baraboo out of first place in the conference standings. Reedsburg was also victorious in the preliminary game when the second team defeated the Baraboo second team by a score of 14-8. FEB. 17—LA CROSSE LOGAN 30— REEDSBURG 25—HERE The most exciting game of the season was that against the LaCrosse Logan team, who held undisputed first place in the South Central Conference. Although the locals were defeated, the}- surely played a thrilling game. The game ended in a 25-25 tie and went into a five minute overtime period, during which Logan made five points. FEB. 24—REEDSBURG 15—RICHLAND CENTER 11—THERE Again the Reedsburg team came home with a victory in their pockets. This time from Richland Center on Feb. 24. They defeated them by a score of 15-11. This game completed the series in which the Reedsburg team defeated every team that were above them in the conference standings, except the Logan team. MAR. 3—LA CROSSE LOGAN 34—REEDSBURG 7—THERE The biggest upset of the season occurred on March 3 when Reedsburg played Logan. They were defeated by the swamping score of 34-7. This was the last conference game for both teams and it gave Logan undisputed first place and Reedsburg fourth place in the conference standings. MARCH R -17-18 MADISON DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Although not establishing as good a record as the team did last year at the tournament, this year’s team established one that is to be proud of. In the first round of play Sun I’rairie was defeated by the Reedsburg five by a score of 27-10. In the semi-finals, Madison West defeated them bv a score of 28-15. Much credit was given the local team at the tournament in holding the crack Madison West team as well as they did.

The basketball program perhaps took the greatest interest of them all, with 89 participants. A total of eleven teams took part, three teams representing each class but the Freshmen, which had only two teams. The four outstanding teams were the All Stars, the Ripsnorters, Casey’s and APs Hot-Shots, the first three being Senior teams and the last one a Junior team. Each of the eleven teams played eleven games each in the round robin schedule, and these games, together with a total of eighteen games played in the tournament, made a grand total of 128 games of intramural basketball played. The All Stars, a Senior team, won the championship, and the Rip-snorters, also a Senior team, won second. The great interest in volleyball is also shown by the fact that 76 boys participated in it. The American Aces, a Senior team, was by far the outstanding team in the league, proving its superiority by winning both the round robin and the tournament schedules. The Dizzy Dozen, also a Senior team, won second place. Fight teams participated in the event, two teams from each class. In intramural giant ball, four teams, one from each class, filled the schedule, with a total of over 100 boys. The Seniors and Juniors were tied for the championship after the regular schedule, and in the play off the Juniors defeated the Seniors for the championship. The first annual intramural track and field meet was held last spring with 52 participants. The Juniors won first with a total of 59 3-4 points and the Sophomores won second with 49 1-4 points. It is planned to hold the second annual intramural track meet this spring along with the intramural kit-enball schedule, which will include eight teams, two from each class, with 'SjTout 100 boys participating. Two post-season games are also planned.

All in all, the intramural program was a great success, and we all want to thank Mr. Kraeft, who has spent so much time and effort to carry out such a complete and sucessful intramural program. We are sure that we all are looking forward to another equally successful schedule next year.

Although the points were made by these three men, credit must be given the entire team, for their good work on both defense and offense. The only conference defeat of the season followed, an 18-7 defeat by La Crosse Logan on the local field. The local team was outplayed by a team of very large men. The team and coaches then journeyed to Sparta and delivered another crushing defeat to their opponents, the score being 9-0. The season ended with a non-conference defeat by the La C rosse Acquinas team at La Crosse, by a score of 27-0.

Several public performances were given to help the Hand in attempting to clear up all debts for uniforms, etc. In this phase of activity, much credit belongs to the Band Mothers Organization which sponsored Bake Sales. Suppers, and various affairs to aid the Hand in tournament expenses and others. A competitive program was introduced by Mr. Jeredman whereby the members were judged from time to time and advanced to first chair perhaps, or put back to third. In this way, no one was certain of being considered the best player of his particular instrument unless he really kept up with his teood work, for as soon as someone did better than he, back he went to a iHw r place.

To be eligible for membeship a boy must be enrolled in the agricultural course or have finished a course during the past three years. In this way a boy may keep his membership for three years after he finishes school. In Wisconsin there are now exactly one hundred of the high schools which have the vocational agricultural course in their curricula. Practically all of these departments maintain a chapter of the F. F. A. Some states have more chapters than Wisconsin, others have less. These chapters enter into many activities jointly. For instance there is a public speaking contest held each year for F. F. A. members on a national basis. Our chapter held the local district contest here last spring. This was open to the chapters of Prairie du Sac, Raraboo, Richland Center, Ithaca and Reedsburg. The representative from Ithaca chapter won here and later placed fourth in the state contest. The members of our chapter are studying the approved principles of farming and along with it arrange for some recreation and amusement. Each winter we have a basketball team to play other neighboring chapter teams as well as other club and organization teams. Last spring we also played some baseball. The members have each year planned a camping trip which many are ble to enjoy. Last spring our trip took us to the large dairy farms of rnkesha county, where we spent three worth-while days learning farm-Sjn ethods on these farms and the joys (?) of cooking and camping out. the 1935 Gleaner GIRLS’ SEXTETTE Hollow Row: Regina Zapp, Marian Claridgc, Lydia Luelke, Roberta Miehe, Frances Yorman, Anita Mueller, Jeanette Wheeler Second Row: Jean Rebetz, Mildred Luetkins, Helen Susyski, Arline Brimmer, Melva Me Clure, Mary Hagenah, Joyce Kirkpatrick, Eleanor Massman To } Rote: Evelyn DeVault, Jane Bartlett, Vivian Mansfield, Leona Elfcrs, Bernice Moys, Mildred Wiseman, Isabel Buckley 8iris’ Sextet At the beginning of the school year, the Junior and Senior Sextettes were organized under the able direction of Miss Stolte.

On Tuesday, Miss Stolte helps all those girls who tire interested in this work. Persons who are desirous of becoming members are required to sing a few exercises to determine whether they shall be classed as soprano, second or alto. Miss Stolte seldom refuses anyone admittance to the organization, even if the voice will not help the group as a whole. She feels that the Glee Club should be an organization formed and maintained to help the girls themselves and to afford them a means of pleasure. For this fact we think that Miss Stolte deserves a lot of credit, because many of the girls really do not possess what can be termed “good voices”, yet they love singing for its own sake. This should be the spirit of all Glee Clubs, and we consider ourselves quite fortunate to have such a broad minded person to direct our efforts. At the lirst of the year the Glee Clubs were divided into the Freshman-Sophomore and the Junior-Senior section, with Joyce Kirkpatrick and Frances Yorman presidents of each group respectively.

Sept. 16. All newcomers, Freshies or otherwise, were presented with cute little green bonnets which they were obliged to wear for the entire evening. Each Senior girl literally pounced upon one of those ignorant “Frosh” and made him try to dance. Of course they were terribly embarrassed at having so many people watch their pitiful lirst attempts, but soon there was no stopping them. No matter which way you turned, you were confronted by a Freshie who would always say, “May I have the next dance?” However, there is no time like the present to learn, so keep it up anti in four years, we hope, you will be laughing at the expense of another new class. 1 here was enough of the sandwiches and pop, served later in the evening, to satisfy the hunger of even the most ravenous “Freshie”. Shortly after eleven, reluctant students left the building after an evening of pleasure. Cheer up! Judging from past experiences we can promise you that the party to be given by the Juniors in about four weeks will afford just as much fun. Don’t forget, in one month—? An “Autumn Party” was given by the Junior Class on October 14 in the high school gym which was decorated appropriately with cornstalks, pumpkins, and multi-colored leaves. At the door we were greeted by—the conventional collection box. The refreshments were delicious, and everyone who came to the party (and there were many) had just a grand time. We’re all waiting anxiously for the next party. The Band provided another evening of delightful entertainment by way of an all-school party held Friday evening November 18, 1932. The music was furnished by the high school orchestra and proved to be even better than our highest expectations. In spite of the fact that a regular admission fee of ten cents was established, rather than the customary free-will offering, there was a good crowd. Refreshments of candy and ice cream were served to those who found they had a stray nickel or two. When eleven o’clock came everyone agreed that the evening had been well spent and went home to dream of the next party. I he Sophomores took their turn at providing entertainment for the study-worn students by holding a party Friday evening December 18. True to the spirit of the oncoming occasion, a brilliantly decorated Christmas tree added to the festiv ity of the occasion. “Sox” Aton’s orchestra furnished splendid music for us to dance to. (Wonder if the Soph’s advisor chose the orchestra?) Hot dogs were served later in the evening, or if one did not come for sandwiches with a delicious filling could be had. “Hot” dogs are good. [54] the 1955 Gleaner ||i but five cannot seem to get along so well—anyway, we had a good time and left soon after 11 to go home and dream of Santa’s coming. Congratulations Freshies! You certainly had a “swell” party, even if you did have to wait and wait for it. We think it was an affair well worth the w’aiting for, don’t you? The gym was decorated in honor of Washington’s birthday and that scheme was further enhanced by the cherries which topped the French pastry that played the role of refreshments very sucessfully. Parkey’s Wis. Aces led our feet in rythmic motion throughout the evening except when the result of the Richland Center game was announced (in our favor.) Then, after a few minutes of yells etc. the dancing was resumed. If the Freshmen can keep up their good reputations as hosts throughout the years they spend in school, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a lot of Post Graduates in school just so they can attend the parties. Here’s to you—Class of ’36. SVom At last—THE event of the event of the year—the Junior Prom. The gym made one think of tulip time in Holland, for there were tulips everywhere. The Dutch scheme for decoration was cleverly carried out even in the tea room. Tom Temple and his 11 piece orchestra from Appleton, furnished the music for the evening. The Juniors certainly have good judgement when it comes to dance orchestras. Besides furnishing excellent music, the orchestra had a clever scheme whereby everyone could keep his dances straight, thus the customary arguments as to which dances were whose were avoided. The tea room and punch stand came in for their share of attention throughout the evening—perhaps the waitresses had something to do w’ith that. At 9:15 P. M. Prom King Larry Hickey and his Queen Dorothy Donahue led the Grand March. Then followed an evening of wonderful dances. When our entreaties would avail us no longer, we left for home (?), w'ith many happy memories. Perhaps we, the Seniors, felt a trifle sad to think that it was our last Prom, but a spirit of revelry prevailed throughout most of the evening. Certainly everyone agrees that this Prom was one to be long remembered. We move that Miss Wendtland be appointed a committee of one to superintend the future Proms, for if past two years of prom success indicates anything she certainly “knows her stuff.” ( the 1955 Gleaner Royalty feaft Another important event occurred on May 13. Of course you know that I am speaking of the Loyalty Feast. How many of us wished that we had refrained from talking in the Main Room, for that certainly pulled the classes down in their citizenship. Well, all that competition is past for this year, hut I can just imagine how all the classes next year will be so good (?) that they will all he tied for the trophy. After the delicious banquet served in Room (1. at which everyone ate so much that it was almost impossible to move in comfort, the whole group went down to the Gym to spend the rest of the evening in dancing. And of course you cannot forget who won the trophy. The three unlucky classes went around with long faces for weeks afterwards, but I guess the best “man” wins (sometimes). Senior Glass Qlay The Senior Class presented the 3 act play, “Tommy”, May 4 and 5 at the Badger Theater. The characters were: Mr. Thurber—Martin Pratt; Mrs. Thurber—Ruth Robinson; Marie Thurber—Rosemary Cunningham; Tommy Mills—John Thorne; Bernard—Keith Walsh; Mrs. Wilson—La Veda Roehrs; Judge Wilson—Marvin Riggert; and David Tuttle—Edward West-phal. The play was a delightful comedy in which affairs became quite complicated. Marie was sort of perplexed in her love affairs, for her parents favored the rather quiet, stay-at-home, Tommy. But when her parents seemed to turn to Bernard,—well, then things seemed to take a different aspect. All in all, the play was a wonderful success, and the Seniors feel quite proud of their dramatic accomplishments. the 1955 Gleaner fHumor n SOME WIXCHELITE SI MI LIES As swift as Dick Reines.

ETIQUETTE FOR STUDENTS BY MISS CONDUCT 1. Posture—To a student posture is a necessary evil. Never sit erect in your chair; it gives the wrong impression. Slouch down until your spine makes an acute angle with the end of your chair as much as desired. Now and then fall over; this gives a dashing appearance. 2. Speaking—The ideal way of speaking is mumbling. It excites curiosity in the teacher and in this way you command attention. If you are unable to effect a good mumble, try putting your hand over your mouth. This also stimulates conflicting emotions in the instructor. 3. Promptness—There is something a student should know about promptness, and that is never be prompt. It is very commonplace, and if you are prompt you become commonplace. For a student I should suggest dropping into your assembly seat a few minutes late. 4. Preparations for classes—The wise and efficient student will never prepare his lessons. “Observe and know the rule” is a pet remark of the teachers. The most correct rule to follow is “Ignorance is bliss”, for after all, why allow studying to interfere with your education? Follow this and you will glide peacefully along during your school year. 5. Aiding others—You can win admiration and respect from your fellow students by being the cause of waste of time. To explain tardiness, your unpreparedness, all takes up the fleeting moments. Especially on a Monday an act of this sort is appreciated, since you are not the only one unprepared. 6. The waste basket—I have only a few words to say about the waste basket and that is—never walk up to it. An exertion of any kind for a student is incorrect. Throw the paper or gum that is to be deposited. This is an easy, clever fea which, if practiced well, will alw' ' come in handy. Some Common Quests The Great American Pest is one of our country’s good old realities, one of the few that remain with us in spite of our changing civilization, lie came over on the Mayflower; he was represented among Washington’s soldiers at Valley Forge; in the crowd that heard Lincoln at Gettysburg one could no doubt be found; his understudies mingle with all gatherings today, and supposedly they always shall. They average high school of the present era has its pest or pests, generally in various more or less obnoxious forms. In the following paragraphs I shall try to explain the characteristice and habits of some common high school pests. First I shall discuss that pest of pests, the school fly. This insect begins its attack by first asking permission to speak; when this request is granted it singles out a victim, rushes to it. and bombards it with questions, etc. Its song runs thus; “(jot your history? Let me use your ruler a few minutes. What were the test questions? Do this problem for me. Are you going to the game?” It buzzes on like this until reminded by Teacher that the time is up, whereupon it departs in search of other prey. This keeps up as long as it is granted speaking privileges. Such an insect causes great annoyance, but it is beneficial because it keeps one from getting too far ahead from his classmates in preparation. I’est number two is the snail. It loiters along on its way to and from classes, taking no offense when one pushes it or treads on its heels. It is in no hurry, so why should anyone else be? Classes, roll call, everything must wait for this creature. It is a big asset to the school, however, because without it people might arrive at places on time. The third pest I call the mosquito, because it usually makes itself evident in a most startling and unpleasant manner. You receive a stinging slap on the back, or your tie is jerked out, and you are jabbed with a compass point. Aha, you are a victim! Mow one loves to have such jolly pranks played upon him! Pity the poor mosquito, for his sense of humor is so warped that to him this is rare sport. Keep on the lookout for him, for he will come around again. A joker like this is indispensiblc to the school, for he keeps everyone wide awake and in good spirits. Pest four is the pig (not always a farm animal, though). This creature holds forth in the classrooms mainly. One may identify him as the person who rushes to grab the best books, the best labratory equipment, etc. He passes everyone in importance, so he is entitled to the best of everything, in class discussion he takes and holds the floor against all contestants. [64] THE 1953 arLEANER If anyone ventures to advance a theory which he docs not agree with, he tears it to bits and tramples on it just to show how brilliant he is. No answer given is quite right until he has added a remark. He is valuable to any class, because he keeps everyone striving to outdo him. My fifth and last pest is that super-pest, the elephant. This animal needs a ten-acre lot to move around in; he does not fit at all into a school aisle. To invite his attack, all you have to do is to draw a map in the main room; along it will come, knock against your arm, and the map will be “all shot”. This beast is also very fond of roughing up your hair annd knocking the books from your desk. If you meet one in the hall, it bumps against you, for it is in a hurry, and everyone must get out of the way. Teachers all like this animal, for it sees that students keep the tops of their desks clear. Beside the pests which I have discussed there are many more minor varieties, both in school and in other walks of life, but the person who is deliberately a pest is rarely found. Quoting Burns, we are obnoxious to others merely because we do not “see oursels as ithers see us”. My dear friend :— Since I have not answered your question as to why I do not seem to have time to write, I must reply by saying that I have so much time that I cannot write. I suppose that I must urge myself to the distasteful task of telling you what occupies my days (and nights). I have become so accustomed to doing nothing, for I have nothing to do, that even writing a letter is a task. lust how we are preparing for a home-talent play which only asks of us about seven nights a week for practice. On the other nights, if we have nothing else to do, we have, oh perhaps, Band, (ileaner Staff Meeting, Dramatics Club or a party. Then we are able to fill up an additional hour each week by belonging to four or five different church organizations. Of course during some of our many, many spare hours we follow the delightful path of study. But even that does not seem to take much time. Perhaps, if you could see o our cards, some of those distinctly attractive scarlet letters which we a —Scotty [66] the 1955 Gleaner spend in studying, you would realize how time must hang heavily upon us. For these letters are so numerous that they show that vve must spend a lot of time in deep thought to achieve such ideals. Just to prove to you that we are “rusting out, not wearing out,” for that is what it will amount to unless we can find something to do once in a while, 1 shall mention briefly some of the things we had to resort to,even though we disliked them, to occupy a few minutes yesterday. Of course we had school all day, and then came such a long interval before Glee Club, that everyone was yawning for lack of something better to do. When the clock had finally dragged its way through the five, or was it seven minutes of recess, we sauntered down to sing for an hour or so. Then at five o’clock it was stroll home to sit and wait for seven o’clock when we were due at Band or Play practice. After much careful thought, we decided to go to Band practice from seven until eight and, since we had seen the show and there was nothing else to do, we went down and practiced for the play until eleven o’clock. How we hated to go home after such a restfui evening. But it was so misty and rainy out that we finally parted and went home to search for amusement. Then from twelve until three we enjoyed ourselves studying after which, finding nothing better to do, we went to bed. I almost forgot to say that one way, which was a favorite of ours, for “killing” time was to spend an hour or so in bed each night. That always helps to (ill up the time. Perhaps you have noticed that it has been “we” who'did this and “we” who did that, rather than I”. For I was not the only one who had nothing to do to while away the time. There were about sixty others in the same predicament. All in all, we have decided that the best thing we can do is to send a petition to Congress asking that something be invented to occupy the time of the unemployed school children, for we are really in need of some sort of fill-in for our spare time. the 1955 Gleaner FINI S
