Loyalty Representative Class Advisor ......... Lawrence Hickey Robert Banks ...Fabyan Wright .....Helen Tracy ...... Miss Hart Class Motto: Let them have their past: we have our future Class Colors: Blue and Gold Class Flower: Yellow Rose Four years ago on September Second. 1930, under the leadership of our advisor, Miss Bliss, we. as Freshmen, were launched upon our career as students of the Reedsburg High School. The first development of our social complex began on September nineteenth at the all school mixer where we were crowned with the mighty caps of green. Along with the social life we endured nine long months of English. Algebra, Biology, and Latin, so that finally we gained the name of Sophomores. Encouraged by this title we worked and strived in order that we might live up to the name. We did very well under the guidance of Miss Bechtolt, for when the Loyalty Trophy was awarded we found that we had lost by only one-fourth of a point, thereby earning second place. After three months of vacation we came back to start a memorable year for us. As you might already have guessed it was our Junior year. Fortune seemed to be working with us for everything that we attempted to do was successful. We succeeded in securing our class rings in the class colors, blue and gold. The Prom was one of those projects that we undertook with the help of Miss Wendtland that year. For our principal colors we used blue and primrose yellow and used as our theme of decoration the Dutch garden. Fortune again lent a hand to us and made it possible for us to secure an orchestra of eleven pieces, that of Tom Temple’s. To end this successful year we succeeded in capturing the Loyalty Trophy; it was the first year that we were able to do this. Time kept up her steady pace and we soon found ourselves beginning our last year as students of the Reedsburg High School. It was under the able leadership of Miss Hickey that our class play was a success. And we are indeed grateful to Miss Hart for all the help that she has given us as our advisor. We. now as graduating Seniors, begin to realize what all the four years of studying was meant for. As a group, we Seniors, wish to thank all those who helped to make our High School career an eventful and successful one.

Peterson Although the present Junior Class is small in number they have been able to make a name for themselves in the history of Reedsburg High School. It was through their efforts that we were able to have another successful Junior Prom. By getting their class rings in their Junior year they have carried out another tradition of this High School. Sophomore Class President ............. Vice President ........ Secretary-Treasurer ....

[23] cm E “C. ID. A O you “C. W. A. How you haunt us night and day! In our dreams at night You fill us with such fright. Where we should see flowers bloom, We see nothing but your brush and broom: And instead of perfume fair Rise peculiar odors, O, so rare! As we ramble down the hall Your crazy wires sure enthrall; And your ladders here and there Are the cause of many a night-marc; When we approach a stairs We find a sign that stares: It would be hard to find the way Even in the natural light of day; Your many scaffolds so broad and high Seem almost to reach the sky; And the cherubs climbing up and down Seem, in our dreams, like circus clowns. But after the horrors of the night We greet and hail you with delight: For when you come to school each day You’re worth much more than we could pay; You bring just lots of extra joys To all us doleful girls and boys; Without you there would be no passes Nor any need for tardy classes; There would be no frequent lack of bells That hourly sound like funeral knells; There would never be a change of classroom Giving a moment’s release from our doom; There would be no constant noise and din That make the teacher s voice grow dim; There would no closed stairways be That make it easy and plain to see The long way is the only way Tho sometimes it does not pay! The strange attractions in the hall Make even the best of teachers stall You give us all kinds of excuses And save us from getting the duces”. Yes, life would indeed be dull and gray If there were no C. W- A.” And so, to you, the ”C. W. A. Blessings on thee, again we say! [24] ACTIU1T1ES Orchestra Top Row: Robert Weining. Helen Woodson.

The R. H. S. football season of 1933 was ushered in in a big way. Practice began on September fifth, the opening day of school: and continued until November fourth, when the season closed. Twenty-seven men remained out for practice during the entire season. Senior lettermen this year were: Montgomery (Capt.), Sweeney, Luetkens, Lange. Banks. Hickey, Zeitlow, Hainstock, Stone. Byrne. Ninneman. SCHEDULE — 1933 Sept. 23 Reedsburg 12 Wisconsin Dells 0 Sept. 29 Reedsburg 12 Spring Green 13 Oct. 6 Reedsburg 7 Portage 13 Oct. 13 Reedsburg 14 Baraboo 7 Oct. 28 Reedsburg 0 Richland Center 19 Nov. 4 Reedsburg 13 Tomah 14 Instead of the usual individual pictures of the football men, we are submitting write-ups of each person that was out for football this past year of 1933. CAPTAIN “GIL” The captain of this year’s eleven was Gill Montgomery, a very well liked fellow and a very fine football player. It was through Gil's good work at the center position that Reedsburg was branded as having a pretty tough team. Gil did some very fine work for R. H. S. in his football career: and I am sure that everyone appreciates what he has done for the school. He always enjoyed the game, and always showed the utmost sportsmanship. “TOM” We can't go any further without writing about one of the best football players that the R. H. S. has ever possessed. It was Tom’s marvelous work as fullback, this past year that earned him the title, that of being called one of the best players in the conference. Tom not only excelled in football—but also in every other athletic contest that has ever taken place in high school. Tom will always be able to remember that it was he that made the 60 yard run for touchdown in the Reedsburg-Bara-boo battle, to win the game 14-7. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Tom was the best player on the squad. HOD” Harlan Palmer has played end on the squad for three years and has played his position so well that there was never any fear that he would be benched. Hod is known for his beautiful punts—and his keen eye for catching passes. [35] BOB” Bob Banks is the one who deserves the credit for quartering the team so well this past season, and he can be remembered for his coolness when in a pinch. Even though Bob was small he could plunge, tackle, and block—and how. Of course we can’t forget that he has a certain alumnus cheering him on the sidelines. JOE Joe Byrnes is another of the Irish from Ironton. Altho’ this was the first time he played football he sure came in handy to the team. He was a good fast guard and certainly could take it. Too bad this was his last year in high school. HAL Hal Luetkens was one of the stars, he did most of the passing and all the drop kicking this year and he was good at it. He grew a little this summer and stepped right into the tail back position. Besides drop kicking and pass heaving, he could zip around end or over tackle like nobody's business. JIM” Jim” Gibblin was a good fast guard this year and had plenty of nerve but he was a little light but wait till next year. BILL Bill Sporleder played center for a while and then changed to guard. He is another good guard. His only trouble is that he stutters so much he can't out talk his opponents. Altho’ he is only a Sophomore he is another one to watch next year. BART” Bart Quimby had an arm broken in the Wisconsin Dells game, the first of the season, but he was back for more as soon as it was healed. He was one of the best defensive men on the team and boy! could he tackle! “HERB This was Herb Ninneman’s first year at football but he made ’em sit up and take notice. He was a good pass receiver and always followed punts down the field like a good end should. He kept them plenty worried with his defensive playing. It sure is too bad it is his last year as well as the first. CHICK This year was Chick Claridge’s first year out for football and believe me he made good. He played tackle on the first team and did very good work. Charlie has one more year to play. He holds the honor of being the only one who could outtalk a referee. “SWAG Marcy Lange was another of the senior lettermen. He played right half on the squad, and did his job well, only he was very unfortunate in always getting hurt. BOB Bob Mullock will be the 1934 football team’s fullback and he will have to fill Sweeney's position, which will be very hard to do. However, Bob will play it very well, and what a big boy he is. “DICK” Dick Stone was sort of a ”jack-of-all-trades ”, being able to fit in any position on the squad. Dick has spent four years in football and was a letterman this year. He just received his full growth in his senior year which was just a little too late. BYRNEE” Everett migrated from Ironton and in his first year out for football played the guard position. His only trouble was that he couldn’t get angry enough. Boy. he sure got across some good ones! He and Earl Reines will go down in R. H. S. history as champion passers. RAY” Ray Wahler played left half on the squad and owing to his lack of beef, didn’t get quite as much chance to play as the heavier backs. However, when he played the opposing team had to run like fire in order to catch him. HERMAN It was Herman's first year out for football and he also made good: made the first squad and received his letter. His only difficulty was his nose which made it necessary for his wearing a huge mask-helmet. Herman will be back next year to show more of his grit. BOB” Including all the linemen and backs on the team. Bob Zeitlow was the fastest of them all. He played right guard and how he smashed, tackled and blocked and believe me when you played opposite him it was plenty tough. He was also among the senior lettermen. DICK Dick Shultis, a junior in 1933 will be back to play guard in 1934 and show Baraboo and Portage a few things about it Dick is getting his growth fast and will show up plenty good this year. BILL” Bill Behn only weighed 2 2 5 pounds, stood 6 feet tall. This was his first year in the game and if he plays in 1934 he will shove plenty people around. BOB WALKER Because of his dancing hips or whatever you may choose to call them—Bob will develop into a very neat halfback and a good ball carrier. He is just a sophomore so keep your eye on him. OIL REINES One of the biggest assets to the team this year was the little freshie quarterback. Oil Reines. Earl has lots of gall—so he's another one you might keep your eye on. Inci-dently it might be O. K. to mention that Oil” supplied most of the fun in practise. FLOYD. JR. Floyd Smith's first year out for football gave him plenty of practise to show his wares next year. Floyd is growing and developing fast and just watch him next year or the year after. CHAS. Charlie Coens also spent his first year on the gridiron and he too got plenty of practise in order to spur him on to great heights in his next years in high school. Charlie played at the tackle position and was mighty good. LOUIS Just watch Louis Maske next year for he certainly should do things the way he has shown up in his last two years at football. Louis was a let-terman this year; he played right half and was a very neat little ball carrier. LARRY Larry Hickey is another Irish lad and a hard man to take out. I've been told. He played tackle where men are men or at least they should be. It takes a good man to stick and Larry stuck. He is a senior and has been out for four years.

Portage 20 The 1933-34 basketball team went through one of the most successful seasons ever in the history of the Reedsburg High School. It was they who captured the first place in the Class A tournament at Sparta on March eighth, ninth, and tenth. Reedsburg's conference season was also very successul. The games that were lost were lost by small margins, and were really tough breaks. This was the first time that a R. H. S. team has been able to compete in the State Tournament which was held at Madison on March 27, 28, and 29. Our team made a brilliant showing at this tournament and everyone is indeed proud of them. In the first game with a tough Eau Claire team, Reedsburg played marvelously and nearly defeated them,—the score being 26-23 in favor of Eau Claire. Our team certainly had them going and it was a hard game to lose. The second night we were matched with New London whom we easily defeated by a score of 27-15. Luetkens distinguished himself in this game by scoring eighteen points. In the Consolation final we were defeated by the strong Madison West quintette to the tune of 35-18. We are very proud of the fine showing our fellows made in this tournament. They received some very nice bouquts from prominent sports writers. Hal” Luetkens was honored by being placed on the all state tournament team. We are indeed proud of him and every other member of the squad. In the Sparta Class A Tournament Reedsburg easily defeated a weak Richland Center team by a score of 27-18. On Friday night we played that tough team that looked like tournament champions—the team that we had defeated twice in the conference games—Sparta. We defeated them 27-26. It was very close but a marvelous game. It was in this game that Luetkens was supposed to have a sprained ankle—but none of the crowd could notice it from his playing. Then came the big game of the tourney—that for championship—with the undefeated conference champions. Tomah—which resulted in a great victory for Reedsburg-—27-13. The boys were on. and how they did play! We are also proud—we of the Reedsburg High School—and the Senior Class, to have two fellows—Hal. Luetkens and Tom Sweeney receive all tournament honors as outstanding players. [39] CLASS B TOURRAmEnr On March fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth the Class B Basketball Tournament was held in our High School gymnasium. This was the first year for us to have a Class B tournament—prior to this time having had only Class C Contests. This year’s tournament was excellent, and drew crowds from far and near. The following teams competed: Black River Falls Hillsboro West Salem Cashton Holemen Wonewoc Galesville New Lisbon New Lisbon won first place while Black River Falls received second, and consolation went to the West Salem quintet. All these teams made fine showings. LIST OF ALL MEN OUT FOR BASKETBALL BASKETBALL—TEERS! TOM” Tom Sweeney as Captain of this fine aggregation of fellows, brought them through a very successful season. Tom was one of the coolest basketball players in this conference, and he at all times set a fine example for his team-mates—always excelling in sportsmanship. For his last three years in high school he has played on the first squad, generally playing the whole game. All we can say is that there never was a better fellow or an athlete made. HAL Harold Luetkens was by far the most outstanding player on the team, and he has the distinction of being one of the highest scorers in Class A. tournaments in the state. Hal was such a good player that he was hailed by the press as the “Blond Flash —or as the Flash . He should be given credit—so much that can not be expressed in words—for his dandy attitude and for not getting the least bit big-headed over his laurels. We all stand back of Hal, and hope that some day when he is an all-star player at some big University that we may say that WE went to school with him. BILL This is also Bill Van Loenen's last year in school. He too has played basketball on the squad for the past three years—always showing himself to be a classy player. Bill was a bit shorter than Sweeney. Quimby, and Luetkens: but nevertheless, he could keep up to them in speed if not in height. BART Bart Quimby, Reedsburg’s foremost center, is one grand player. He’s one of these guys who fight till the last minute and fights hard. He is a good shot, can pass like no-bodys business, and is a good defensive player, so grab your ringside seats for next year. HOD” Another Junior, that Hod Palmer, is a “regular . He has played guard all season and he plays it. He is a good defensive man and knows how to bring the ball up the floor to where it is needed and boy. can he pass! I’m asking you, what more do you want? DON Don O Keefe is quite handy with a basketball, in any language this spells bad medicine” to Reeds- burg's opponents next year. He saw a lot of action this year although he is light. Boy! what a prospect, what a prospect! “TOMMY This was Tommy Harper’s first year on the first nine of the basketball squad. He developed very much this past year and you can look for big things from Tom in his Junior and Senior years. You'd better keep an eye on him. BOB” Bob Walker’s another Soph and from South Dakota, but he can play basketball in spite of this handicap. He plays forward and is he sloppy” in his shots. He made the first team this year and he will be among them next also. HAROLD” Last, but not least, on the first squad, is Harold Wishoff. He didn't have such a big chance this year, but all signs indicate he will step into guard next year. Lots of luck to you. “BOB BANKS This was Bob Bank's last year in the realms of a basketball player, too. Bob has played each of his four years in high school—and he has always played fine basketball. His greatest thrill (lest he forget) was while playing in a big game— that he shot a basket for the opposing team. Bob has during this past year been cheered from the sidelines quite a bit. LOUIE MASKE Louie is one of those Soph’s who made the second team. He is a stocky, short guy and he seems to like basketball. He plays guard and shows lots of promise. He’s a good passer and defensive player also. Oh boy! BOB DEVEREAUX Bob has played on the squad for the past two years, and this was his last year too. He too, has always played very clean and classy basketball. He was handicapped by being just a little shorter than the rest of the team—but nevertheless he was always in there when he was needed. JOE” GREENWOOD I guess that Joe is the smallest boy on the B. team,—but that doesn’t seem to matter when he is guarding his opponent’s basket for dear life. Joe has three more years to play, and he should be plenty good in his Junior and Senior years if he keeps up his good work. JACK HOWLAND Jack is a Junior this year, who, though ineligible the first semester was out on the floor right after exams. He played center on the second team and was good at it. He is slightly handicapped by his poor sight, but he doesn't let that trouble him. Another man to watch next year. ARLIN CRANE If practise makes a real player— instead of being born one as they say—Arlin should be a real good player about next year — because every spare moment that he has he is over playing basketball in the old gym. JUNIOR SMITH Another Frosh who made the second squad. Well he has lots of future and promises lots of height so I imagine that he will come in handy in the next three years. BILL SPORLEDER This was also Bill’s first year out for basketball, and believe me he certainly has made the most of it. He was just a sophomore and he [41] played in all the second team games, and played very well too. Cheering from a certain girl in the balcony seemed to help him play better, too. DOUG” TIBBETTS Along with his acting, etc.. Doug plays basketball. He was a freshman this year and has plenty of time before him. He made the second team this year so watch him. BOB” VAN LOENEN Bob was another one who seemed to be spurred on by female cheering in the balcony. He is just a Sophomore this year and he too has plenty of time to get his full growth and follow in the foot-steps of his broth- cr- MANAGERS Fred Niebuhr acted as head manager of the basketball squad this year and he was assisted by Jim Greenwood, Alex Yorman, and Gil- bert Springbraum. They all helped to keep the team going, by supplying them with their needs. So hats off to the managers of the 1933-1934 BASKETBALL SQUAD COACHES We could really fill this book with praises for Mr. DeLonge and Mr. Kraeft—if they would allow us to do so. I don't believe that there is anyone in the city who doesn't give these two swell guys plenty of praise for the fine work they have done. Mr. DeLonge has worked with this present year’s quintet for three and four years and has developed them into what they are. DeLonge and Kraeft not only coached basketball and football, but also set fine examples for the fellows. Here’s hoping that they will have just as good luck next year. FOOTBALL.—[Continued from page 37] BILL Bill Hainstock. a senior, had a tough break this year, mainly an appendectomy. The day of the Portage game Bill was taken to the hospital for an operation. Prior to this he was regular guard on the team. His sickness did not prohibit his receiving his award. ARCHIE” (last on the list) I think it is most fitting that we place Archie O Keefe at the bottom of the list so that you can remember his name the longest because he is the Captain-elect of 1934. Archie has been out for football three years and has played quarterback. This next year he will show the crowds what a good field general he is. ”MEL” This was Mel’s last year as manager for the squad and he has served the crew well so let's not forget him. Mel had to take plenty kidding, but he did, so what’s the diff. KRAEFT Kraeft was our coach this year and was pretty good at it too. His pet delight was to make one of the players run around the track three or four times if he caught them smoking. SKIP” DELONG Mr. De Long has been the assistant football coach for the past five years. It was he that gave the line all their good practise, and developed Reedsburg’s line into something powerful. Skip”, as he is known by everyone, has one big delight—that in getting in scrimmage and knocking about half of the team cock-eyed. He has a grand disposition and is liked by every boy (girls too) in school. Society THE MIXER The Seniors opened the social season with the annual Mixer, on Friday Evening, September 15. The Freshmen were met at the door and bestowed with green bibs, while the new students received little green bows. As soon as we students entered the gym. we felt at home , with that big green Welcome at the north end of the gym. The evening was spent dancing to the music of the famous Parky's Orchestra . In order to get the Freshmen and everyone else acquainted, a grand march was held, in which the Senior girls took Freshie boys, as far as they would go around, for partners and let's not forget the refreshments— Newlyweds , (Leave it to the Seniors to be “different ). Shortly after eleven the students were literally forced to leave the party all looking forward to the next one and having another grand time. JUNIOR PARTY A Halloween Party! and was it a party, with witches, pumpkins and everything! And everyone had a perfectly grand time dancing and eating Chilly Charlies. Reluctant students finally left the building at eleven. We re all waiting anxiously for the next party. SOPHOMORE PARTY The Sophomores entertained us at a Christmas party on Friday Eve.. December 15. Clever decorations of evergreen boughs tied with red Christmas ribbons gave the gym a holiday atmosphere. Parky's Wisconsin Aces and French pastries made the evening complete. FRESHMEN PARTY The Frosh showed us their skill at presenting us with a gala time on Friday Evening. March 2. We were all accommodated by being able to attend both the game at Portage and the Party. Jerry Barnhardt and his orchestra furnished the music. To make the party complete our victory over Portage was announced and a snappy yell followed. We must admit the frozen malted milks were grand. Prom Of all the social activities of the school year, the night of April 13th was the most outstanding, for at that time the Junior class of '35 acted as hosts for the annual Junior Prom. Slowly at the hour of nine-thirty the grand march began. The many couples led by Jack Howland, president of the class, and Marion Kelley, his chosen queen, wended their way around the room. The many couples danced under a ceiling of alternating red. black, silver, and white streamers which led to a huge rectangular figure of silver and white. One end of the gym was adorned with a modernistic black and silver building with a background of black and white streamers. Silver and red diagonals extending from each corner represented beacon lights. The big posts were decorated in miniature sky scrapers and carried out the same idea. From a modernistic platform Tom Temple and his orchestra sent forth their merry notes. We are indeed grateful to the committees for their splendid work and also for the delightful cooperation rendered by Miss Alice Peterson, the junior class advisor, whose untiring efforts to make it a success made everyone feel responsible for his share in the work. Cfhe band Cdrniual On November 17 and 18 the Band supplied us with some hilarious entertainment in the form of a Carnival. And need I say—it was a big success. To pep us up for the fun that was to come we were first entertained by a comic operetta. The Dizzy Baton, presented by part of the Glee Clubs. Several other peppy numbers including a tap dance and song by several high school girls and some acrobatic stunts by the grade girls were presented. The first thing that attracted attention were the freaks. And were they freaks! There’s no question but that we will all agree that they were as funny as any we had ever seen. Just to refresh your memory there was Jim Dwyer, the fat lady: Charles Claridge. the largest baby in the world; Clark Paylow, the fan-dancer (incidently. is Clark related to Sally Rand or merely her under-study?); Bart Quimby, the Wild Man; Clinton Huebing. the Mermaid; the Greenwoods, the Siamese twins; Evelyn Van Allen and Alex Yor-man, dancers from some South-sea island; Norman Harms, the giraffe-necked woman, and yourself and a looking-glass, the human monkey (no offense). As far as spooky places go. the Hall of Terror served the purpose very well. And so I hear several people almost had bones broken while falling over and crawling under things. Douglas Tibbetts proved his excellent dramatic ability in portraying, the doctor in the side show, The Magic Pill.” I wonder how many magic pills he took to be able to crack so many side-splitting jokes. When tired of seeing funny acts, freaks, etc., most everyone tried their luck at Bingo and lots of us won some of those grand prizes which were donated by the local stores. Were you one of those who received a telegram from a friend or enemy? Evidently, the C. O. D. messages weren't so welcome in most cases. And that reminds us that the nice part about the telegraph stand was that no money was needed to send a telegram—the paying was left to the other party. The boys got a big kick out of trying their skill at boxing. Some were really good, we must admit. Now confess, did you get fooled at the Wrild V est Show or the Shocking Scene? At least at the Wild West Show we were entertained by the music and songs of Bliss Devereaux. The beauty parlor girls were very successful in fixing-up-or-should I say good-looking faces? Now really several specimans were scarcely recognizable when they emerged from the place. Last but far from least, everyone enjoyed immensely the hot-dogs, chilly Charlies and all the other good things to eat. furnished by the Band Mothers. The One Act Plays, under the direction of Miss Hickey, were successfully presented by the Masque and Dagger Club on March 23. at the Badger Theatre.

A RECIPE FOR KISSES—IT NEVER FAILS To one piece of dark piazza, add a little moonlight, taken for granted two people, press in two strong ones a small soft hand; sift lightly two ounces of It”, one ounce of romance. add a large measure of folly, stir in a floating ruffle, an ounce or two of whispers, dissolve half a dozen in a well of silence, dust in a small quantity of hesitation, one ounce of resistance, two ounces of yielding; place the kisses on a flushed cheek or two lips, flavor with a slight scream, and set aside to cool. (This will succeed in any climate if directions are carefully followed). —Experience Miss Hickey: Milton didn’t look upon nature as Shakespeare did.” Alton Bethke: Well, how could he? He was blind.” CONSOLATION Don't worry if your grades are small And your A s and B's are few: Just remember that the mighty oak Was once a nut like you. Mr. DeLong: “What is the main product of Greenland?” Harold WischofF: “Eskimo Pies.” A PROVERB Play and the world will play with you, but study and you study alone. THE JOYS OF AN EDITOR Getting out this book is no picnic. If we print jokes, people say we are silly: if we don’t people say we are too serious: if we clip things from other papers we are too lazy to write them ourselves: if we don’t we are stuck on our stuff. If we stick to our job all day, people say we ought to be out hunting up the news, if we go out and try to hustle, we ought to be on the job in the office. If we don't, then the paper is filled with junk. If we make a change in the other fellow’s write-up. we are critical, and if we don’t then we are asleep. Now like as not some guy will say I swiped these jokes from some paper or magazine. I DID! Miss Hart: “Harold, they are talking of abolishing capitol punishment: what do you think about it?” Harold Luetkens: ”1 don’t think it should be abolished, it was good enough for our ancestors, so it is good enough for me.” The Juniors didn't realize how little they knew until the Frenchmen began to ask them questions.

Mr. Loofboro: Describe water.

I'm going to milk the cat. Miss Peterson, in Economics Class: There are two sides to everything—you would do well to hear the other.” Tom Sweeney: “Oh, I don't know, when 1 hear one side of a bass drum.

The Scholar’s Aid Society. Richard Stone was duly elected president. For many years the lack of energy and pep among the students both before and after school had been a source of apprehension and worry among the athletically inclined members of the student body. Hence it was decided to organize a society which would tend to inculcate energy among the fagged brains. Every morning before school sessions of all tired looking students will be held in Room G where Mr. Stone will give them all an inspiring talk on study. This will be followed by a song by the society with Paul Weining as leader. Mr. Walter Riddington will give several snappy, vivacious exhortations and exhibitions on being awake. A light lunch of radishes and ginger ale will close the program. THRILLING RESCUE IN BARABOO RIVER Risking his life to save that of another, Bart Quimby, finally carried Miss Clara Smith to safety, after swimming three-quarters of a mile under the ice and finding her about to float over the mill dam.

Insurance companies are oflfer-ing lower rates to people who use this and do not run the risk of shaving with the razor. As a reward. Durwood has received the Block Peace Prize. R. H. S. CHATTER TRACY-SCHULTZ The home of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Tracy was the scene of a very pretty and impressive ceremony Thursday afternoon, when their daughter, Miss Margaret, was united in marriage to Mr. Walter Schultz, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Schultz. The home was beautifully decorated in purple, orange and green with beautiful red roses scattered here and there. The bride wore a beautiful white gown and carried a bridal bouquet of hollyhocks, sunflowers. and ferns. Miss Helen Tracy, maid-of-honor. wore a very pale pink gown. The happy couple left immediately for the Sandwich Islands, where they will spend their honeymoon. VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Dearest Editor: I put into my hand my pen and ink because I want to write you a letter. I want to tell you about putting cushions on the pupils’ chairs in which they sit while attending the local high school. These chairs are too hard: they hurt the pupil and he cannot study hard being hurt. The pupil when he sits down on these hard things twist around a lot to make himself feel good and then he can’t listen to the lesson. If they put something soft on the chair he would sit still and listen and learn more. Also these hard chairs wear out the pupils' clothes more, and if they have cushions this would not happen and then their parents could save more money to send their children to more schools where they have hard chairs with something soft on them. I think it is very smart if they get cushions. Very truly yours, A Sufferer. NEWS NOTES Miss Melva McClure has been selected as the model for the new dress shop for small ladies, opened this week by Gertrude Darrow.

MY FIRST HIGH SCHOOL PARTY |Thi« theme waa written by a Freshman for a theme assignment in English] I have always had a little bashfulness and fear of girls in me, but I have since learned that they are harmless. All the beautiful girls were there and some of the common looking ones too. and there was quite a handful of teachers also. I didn't dance until after refreshments and then I must have gotten some courage in me, for I danced three dances before the party was over. The first girl I danced with was about two inches taller than I. Her initials are— and she lives quite near town. She said afterwards that I wasn’t a bad dancer, but I had danced before so her toes were not crushed to pulp, but only bruised a little. I’ll bet I smashed seven dollars worth of shoe leather and doctor bills that night! I noticed a couple girls that limped the next day. After the party I picked out a sweet little girl that I know almost too well and asked to take her home. We walked down past the park, the Presbyterian church and Mr. Foster’s house, besides of a little extra walking to her house. That was my first high school party and 1 had a wonderful time. I hope I will have as good a time at all the others. THE MAIN ROOM I have been sitting in this Main Room for something over forty minutes and I haven’t thought of anything to describe yet. I could describe how I feel and that would be enough. It might be interesting because I do feel like being critical. Just across the aisle sits a freckled faced girl. She must have seen what I just wrote because she's giggling. She is still giggling. I asked the gir? behind me how to spell ’aisle, and now the one across has written it on her note-book and she points to it with her pen. Over a row and down about six seats there is a fellow, looks like a Sophomore, cleaning or filing his nails. I guess he's trying to be another Lon Chaney, judging by the way he screws his mouth up. first on one side and then on the other. Then he moistens his lips, winks one eye a couple times, and then twitches his nose. Theie’s a girl who sits over there about four rows over and six seats back who doesn't seem to be doing much except looking around as I am. She has her hair cut in a long bob , curled at the ends like all the rest. She has a gold ring on her left hand, but it is on her little finger. She is wearing also small red earrings and some red beads, not bad. These two girls in back of me are having more fun. They just handed me a pocket dictionary. They are still laughing, so I’ll look up ' aisle'' and see what it says. I must have used that word wrong for in this dictionary it says. “Passage in a church. I have just sat down. I raised my hand to speak so I might borrow some more paper and the teacher in the back of the room raised two fingers. I guess that's the number of sheets of paper 1 can borrow. I just turned around and she looks angry. A great Main Room. —Tom Sweeney 1 watched them tearing a building down. A gang of men in a busv town. With a ho-heave-ho and a lusty yell They swung a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, Are these men skilled? And the men you d hire if you had to build? He gave a laugh and said. No indeed! Just common labor is all I need. I can easily wreck in a day or two. What builders have taken a year to do. And I thought to myself as I went my way. Which of these roles have I tried to play? Am I a builder who works with care. Measuring life by the rule and square? Am I shaping my deeds to a well made plan, Patiently doing the best I can? Or am I a wrecker, who walks the town. Content with the labor of tearing town? —Anonymous. .
