Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1936 volume:

1936 Every night at close of day Many Indians have to pay For their sins in tepee ten, Object of fear for all tribesmen. De Long, keeper of wigwam jail, Won't let Indian out on bail. Still Indians love and respect De Long And he the subject of this song, So we this gleaner dedicate To h:m, our Sachem, brave and great. ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS SCHOOL LIFE President—P. R. Schweke Secretary—A. M. Hulburt Committee on Finance, Building, and Grounds Chairman—William Reines A. M. Hulburt, Mrs. Henry Thiemann Committee on Teachers, Instructional Supplies, and Equipment Chairman—William V. Arvold Louis Fuchs, Dr. F. A. Fike Those that give us of their wampum, of their wisdom, of their greatness, are the school board of the village, of the fair and noble village. Chief among them. P. R. Schwelce. Small, but wise he is in all things. He presides at all the councils—argues well among the white men. Skilled he is in trade or barter. Wiseman, too, is A. M. Hulbert, keeper of the books for school board—plans he has for better wigwam—for newer things among the Indians. To help the council in its work, two committees lend their talents. As the Indian braves of old always giving of their spare time, of their efforts, of their genius, all the long days through the winter, they toil for us, the younger Indians. Highest praise to them we owe. for their valor and their service, for their wisdom and their bravery. During the past year, the school board has worked diligently on several outstanding projects. One of their greatest undertakings was the development of plans for a new elementary school building and gymnasium. They hove provided for a building of ample capacity and of the best conditions. Although not yet completed, plans have been made for remodeling the high school building. In accordance with these plans, only high school work will be carried on in the high school building. Various changes in the locotion of certain departments will accompany the remodeling. Due to the fact that the enrollment has increased and that changes go hand in hand with progress, these plans of the school board will be greatly beneficial to the educational system of this city. Another step the school board has taken toward improvement is to provide for more bulletin-board space. In each classroom, some of the blackboard is to be removed and replaced by cork bulletin boards. In the past, teachers and students have been handicapped to some extent by a shortage of bulletin-board space in the classroom. But with the installment of the new bulletin boards, this handicap will be entirely overcome. Much time and effort have been spent on plans not only for improving the educational buildings, but also for improving the educational programs. The school board has seriously considered the possibilities and advantages of a visual education program. They have put forth an organized effort-in the consideration of such a program. A delineascope has been purchased and arrangements have been made to darken several classrooms and the auditorium. The entire school, too, will be fortunate to have the use of a sixteen millimeter projector next year. In the course of the last year, our enterprising board has manifested an enthusiastic interest in further developing the art, music, and physical education programs in the school system. They hope to so arrange the curriculum that the greatest number of people will be able to derive the greatest benefits from these departments. Such sincerity, cooperation, and effort as our school board has displayed will not go unrewarded. Educational progress and the deepest appreciation for their services will be theirs to enjoy.

Iowa State The Indian's meager education, restricted to a study of the sciences of fighting, hunting, and tilling the soil, was sufficient for his requirements. Today with more complex methods of living, we must have a diversified curriculum to prepare us for the numerous problems which confront us. As substitutes for the ancient courses, we study modern sciences. Physics and Chemistry are taught by Mr. Loofboro; General Science with either Mr. Plenke or Mr. Jerdeman as instructors; Biology under Miss McAfee; Geography taught by Mr. Smith; History under Miss Hart and Mr. Jerdeman, and Geometry and Advanced Mathematics with Mr. DeLong instructing. Our educational program also includes vocational instruction. In the Home Economics Department, Miss Anderson has succeeded Miss Hensel as instructor. Mr. Piper expounds the mysteries of growing things in the Agriculture class. For the boys interested in construction. Mr. Plenke conducts a class in Manual Arts. Business classes including Shorthand, Typing, and Bookkeeping are instructed by Miss Ruggles and Miss LeFevre. 10 FACULTY English is not neglected, there being five instructors. Miss Bechtolt, Miss Boclcman. Miss Hickey, Miss Wendtlond. and Miss Williams, all of whom are endeavoring to teach us English as it should be spoken and written and to give us the key to the great world of literature. Lest we should forget the (past, Caeser and his campaigns, Cicero’s orations or Virgil's great epic, Miss Wendtland has a special domain, Room 203. where we may learn about these august figures of the past. Moreover, we must all learn to conjugate Amor. Among the more cultural subjects, we have an Art class with Miss Williams as instructor. In the realm of Music Mr. Ritzenthaler is Chief Instructor of the Band, while Miss Bockman conducts the three Glee Clubs. Quick as lightning we modern savages who are trying to acquire even higher civilization by tasting of the fine arts can be transported in this building from the realms of the past to the modern era. Mr. Joslin. Mr. Jerdeman, and Miss Wiley, instructors in Civics, explain to us the problems of community life.

SENIOR CLASS When, in 1932, this group entered the tribe as mere papooses, they already showed signs of being above the average; tor, under the wise guidance ot Miss Bliss, they took third place in loyalty, which is quite a distinction tor a treshman class. The two succeeding years, with Miss Bechtolt and Miss Wendtland as advisers, they climbed to second, and then to tirst place. Such constant advancement has characterized all their activities, curricular and scholastic, and we find them now as stalwart a group of warriors and as comely a group of maidens as ever entered this high school. Such is the history of the senior class. Can we, then, wish them anything but success in all they undertake until their final graduation, to the Happy Hunting Ground?

They soon made their mark as an above-average class by giving the Sophomores and Seniors a close race for the Loyalty Cup. Barely out of the papoose age and under the robes of Miss Randall, the present Junior Class as Sophomores continued their winnings about the tepee and campfire. During the many moons they showed their originality and ability in pow wows (parties), sports, dramatics and various other camp activities. Then, with Miss Bockman as their scout and guide, the Juniors entered the present year as upper-classmen. The crowning event of the Junior Class history proved to be their mid-winter war dance (prom), and now they continue straiqht forward into a bright future.

Most of them live in houses, or on farms. They dress like white boys and girls, speak English and go to school. They have even organized their number into a tribe, selected a chief—Eagle Heart (Bill) Arvold. The next highest civil officer is the Sachem (Vice-President), who is High Hawk (Wally) Luebke. Their tribe thought it wise to appoint someone to safeguard their valuables, so they chose the maiden Laughing Water (Arneita) Gehrig for the Secretary and Treasurer. The tribe needed one other member, one to check up on the bad points of the various members. Those who received too many bad points ere looked down upon by the other Braves and Maidens. They gave this task of Loyalty Representative to Morning Star (Enid) Tyler. It is a hard wild life, the Indians live. The Indians are far from unhappy. They have a great deal of fun. They delight in games. In them the players display great skill and laugh just as heartily when beaten as when victorious. Both boys and girls make merry with ball games and other amusements that vary with their tribe and locality. They delight in dances. Among the various dances was the Leap Year Dance which was held February 28th. Leap Year ideas were carried out in black and white. They consisted of Leap Year silhouettes on white backgrounds. The novelty number, a balloon dance, was greatly enjoyed by everyone. So goes the Year. TOP ROW—Roy Strieker. Earl Schiuter. Fred Howland. Norman Winecke, Gilbert Westerman. Ellie Anderson.

FRESHMAN CLASS Back in 1927, this group of warriors and maidens assembled in kindergarten, and, as they came up through the grades, new members were added to the tribe. In second grade, Nat Smith joined. In sixth grade, Bob Karsten, Rita Jerue, and Royce Harms were initiated into the tribe. The latter, Royce Harms, has now become president of his class. In seventh grade, Bob Meyer joined the group. The class has shown wonderful achievement in athletics. In eighth grade their basketball team proved itself superior to those of other nearby tribes. They have also showed real accomplishments in football and basketball. This year, their first in the main wigwam of the High School, they put on their first public showing in a Pep Meeting organized by Miss Le Fevre. A great deal can be expected from this tribe in the future. ROYCE HARMS......................... President WARREN NIEBUHR...................Vice-President BUD WHITE...................Secretary-Treasurer HELEN ZIECH ............Loyalty Representative Freshman Class Officers THE SPOTLIGHT Just as the Indians set down happenings on birch bark, so we braves of today have a group picked from the Gleaner staff, whose duty it is to keep a record of all important occasions in our school life. These records are sorted and organized, to be published about once every two months on our modern birch bark, the pages of The Spotlight. The motto, puts you on the spot,” was very aptly carried out by the society editors, who, it seems, caused the transformation of many of our pupils' complexions to the ruddy hue of that race whom we of the Gleaner staff are taking as a model—the bright red of the Indians. However, few took offense, and, in all other branches, the paper staff succeeded very well in capturing the setting down in an interesting manner, all the happenings of importance during the past school year. They have given us accurate accounts of parties, athletic events, debate, glee clubs, and, in fact, all activities. The fact that our paper had no facilities for photography hindered the staff not at all, for very apt portrayals of news in pictorial form proceeded from the pens of Bob Hahn and Norman Harms. Arline Devereaux, Mildred Wiseman, Audrey Daniels, and Donna Fae Banks succeeded in digging up all the dirt any four people are capable of getting. Ida Margaret Sweeney reported on tribal activities and Lucille McCarthy kept the Indians in good humor. Montross Pelton and Eileen Whitty took care of braves' and maidens' sports, respectively. All the material was organized and assembled by the editor, Evan Schuette, to be censored and passed by Miss Hart, of the Council of Elders. And so, after the work of ail these people had been put into it, The Spotlight was passed on to the Indians for their enlightenment. TOP ROW—Norman Harms, Evan bchuette, Robert Hahn, Montross Pelton.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY There was considerable competition for parts in the senior class play this year, and when ten fortunate seniors were assigned the roles in Sidney Howard's famous comedy, The Late Christopher Bean, it was noticeable that their actions about school from that time on became a little dramatic. In the hall one would often hear snatches of speeches from the play as one member of the cast encountered another. Rehearsals were fun, and everyone enjoyed Milda Mueller's sharp speeches as Mrs. Haggett. Evan Schuette as Dr. Haggett was droll both when in and out of character. Lester Hahn seemed to acquire a new air of distinction from enacting the role of Tallant, the forger, who was a connoisseur of art and one of the first of a group of admirers of the late Christopher Bean to reach the New England home of Dr. Haggett, where Chris had stayed and painted his pictures. Lester, however, for all his poise, couldn't learn to pronounce the word connoisseur. Both Audrey Daniels and Helen Her-wig, who took the part of Ada Haggett, on the first and second evenings respectively, were glad for the respite each got when the other was being Ada on the stage. Audrey found it hard to leave Warren Creamer (Bob Walker), who was trying to concentrate on a physics problem and Audrey at the same time, while Helen, who found Norman much less dignified on the stage than off, helped him keep the general atmosphere from becoming too gloomy. The play must go on is the unwritten law of the theatre, and so it was that in spite of the greatest difficulties in the form of bad roads on which Eileen's car was often stuck, and club meetings which were a great temptation to cut rehearsal to Ida Margaret, and finally the mumps which Eldor contracted a week before the play, the production was given on the date scheduled. 30 THE DRAMATICS CLUB Some seven years ago it was decided that our young Indian braves should know how to invoke The Great Spirit with properly modulated voices and appealing gestures as well as how to take part in the Council where they might hope by persuasive argument and great acting to make the greatest chief and orator, the stand-patter and rather obdurate foe of the movement for more privileges, Chief Pretty-boy Floyd, capitulate. In view of the new progressivism invading the camp from neighboring tribes it was likewise decided that the young maidens, who, it is generally conceded, must have the last word, should be so trained that this last word is always effective. Moreover, should they learn how to act on the stage as well as off, should they capture some of the mysterious secrets of applying war paints, they might be able to compete with the maidens of the neighboring Hollywood and Broadway tribes. So every two weeks, on Wednesday evening, after the great sun has sunk in the west, young Indian braves and lovely Minnehahas come in their Fords and Buicks and Chevrolets, or walk together in the dusk to the great tepee where the magic rites are held. Laughing boy (Bob Hahn, Secretary and Treasurer) reads in happy tones the roll, after which Big Thunder (Evan Schuette, President) consults with Glory of the Morning (Phyllis Wheeler, Vice-President) and then announces the program of the evening. Always there is a play, a comedy or tragedy, enacted with much spirit and received wifh subdued war whoops. Demonstrations of how to apply the war paint, so as to deceive the world in regard to age and character, are given occasionally. And at every gathering there is some mention made of the festival which takes place in the spring after all members have contributed their share of wampum. This grand occasion is usually a dance, at which all appear bedecked in their finest feathers. TOP ROW—Left to Right—Ida M. Sweeney, Rosemary Stone. Walter Schultz. Norman Harms, Vernon Zimmerman.

The music clan assembles in the first hour after the rising of the sun. These wild strains mingled with the odor of the squaw's breakfast preparations are almost more than the tribesmen and their elders can bear. It's evident that the fine arts are beginning to redeem the Indians from savagery as many have left the warpath to join the Band, under the capable leadership of the music-loving chief Limping White Serge Ritzenthaler. No longer are they limited to primitive tom toms, for a generous Council (School Board) has granted the wampum wherewith many new music making instruments have been purchased, among them being a set of tympani, some imported cymbals, a new concert snare drum, and an alto clarinet. That interest is being manifested among the younger tribesmen is shown by the fact that Chief L.W.S. Ritzenthaler has organized a Junior Band of thirty-five members and a Freshman Band of thirty-five members. Auxiliary organizations such as the Pep Band and the German Band (and it is most amusing to see the redskins tamed into phlegmatic Germans) ploy at the games and ploy to the four winds over WIBU. Many a tribesman had an opportunity to display his talent to all the Indian Nations at the District Band Tournament at Portage and the State Tournament at Madison. ORCHESTRA Our orchestra is a comparatively new organization, but it has made remarkable progress. Last year they won first place in Class D at the District Music Tournament. The orchestra members assembled once a week for string instrument practice under the supervision of Miss Bockman. In this class the braves and maidens learned that music is a language that can be spoken to any tribe. Like the musical sighs in the pine trees along the Sitchee Gurnee the beautiful tones of the stringed instruments could be heard about the building during these weekly practices. The string section worked diligently on their parts and did exceptionally well under the experienced guidance of Miss Bockman. The full orchestra also met once a week under our music chief, Mr. Ritzenthaler. Public appearances of the orchestra were made on various occasions. Their first presentations were given at the Christmas Song Festival where the full orchestra and string ensemble played several numbers. They also played at the Christmas High School program and accompanied the assembly singing of Christmas Carols. Their contest pieces as well as other selections were presented at the Big Spring Music Concert in the Main Wigwam of R.H.S. This concert was greatly appreciated and enjoyed by a large, attentive audience. During the second semester two string quartettes were developed. Both quartettes practiced together once a week and each quartette practiced separately once a week. The members of the quartettes did much outside work and formed an excellent musical organization. In addition to these numerous appearances the orchestra entered the District Music Tournament at Portage, numbers being by the full orchestra and string ensemble.

GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Forty-five maidens composed this group which assembled about the music-making tom-tom in tepee number 123 twice a week, to be directed by Miss Bockman. the Great Counselor of Music. They sang songs of joy. sorrow, romance and of the Great Spirit, expressing their moods according to song as do the Indians. Much enjoyment as well as much benefit was realized from these extensive chants. These maidens were given an opportunity to thrill an audience when they sang for the Injuns” of the LaValle C.C.C. Camp. For their entertainment they presented several numbers, some of which were the Glee Club contest selections. Perhaps not so much enjoyed by the girls, but no less appreciated by the audience, was the singers’ part in the Christmas Assembly program. Their efforts were well rewarded when they made a creditable appearance at the Heap Big Music Tournament. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB As there were many silver tongues among the Indian boys of old, so are there now among the boys of R.H.S. Twenty of these boys have been organized into a Boys' Glee Club under the direction of Miss Bockman. There are four first tenors, four second tenors, six baritones, and six basses. All of the boys are in the Mixed Chorus. In both these organizations the boys receive valuable individual training as well as group instruction. They meet every Tuesday and Friday, the third period in which they practice vocal exercises and various songs. They have furnished music for the Main Room a few times and for the C.C.C. Camp. They attended the Annual Music Tournament at Portage this spring at which they competed with Boys' Glee Clubs from other high schools in this district. BACK ROW— Elite Anderson. Floyd Smith.

MIXED CHORUS During its first year this organization has done remarkably well. All the braves and maidens chosen for the chorus worked with much enthusiasm once a week in the wigwam of music—Miss Bockman's room. Their first effort, and one on which the chorus spent a great deal of work, was the presentation of Handel's Messiah.1 These inspiring songs of the Great Spirit were well received by a large, appreciative audience at the Methodist Church. Especially well rendered were the solo numbers by the students and by Miss Bockman. who favored us with that lovely solo. Rejoice Greatly. O Daughter of Zion. The group made a splendid appearance in their new. starched white cottas: the braves of the chorus looked strangely pious in flowing white capes. The second semester the group concentrated on a capella singing and entered in that division at the Music Tourna ment. The chorus did very well in the contests, singing Today there is Ringing. by Christiansen and O Peaceful Night, by German. DEBATE Though we find little in the old Indian legends relating to debate or any public speaking, still we feel tkat this s debate team deserves special attention, because, through the ceaseless effort of Mr. Joslin, of the Council of Elders. ey succeeded in making themselves Conference Champions. The debate tournament this year was held here in Reedsburg. and the local team came out best. The question under consideration this year had to do with free medicine to all, supported by taxes.

FUTURE FARMERS Today it is educated young men who are taking their places in farming instead of the squaw with her crude way of tilling the soil. A white boy begins his learning of agriculture early in his life. In our school “to better farming a Future Farmers Association has been formed. This group meets on Thursdays, twice monthly. The officers elected this year were Robert Whitty. president; James Shultis, vice-president; Gilbert Shrank, secretary-treasurer; and Harold Gluth, watch dog. The Reedsburg Future Farmers Association won first in corn, and second in all crops in the State Judging contest at Madison. They also plan to make a four hundred mile trip this summer to some of the prominent farms and industrial plants. THE LEGEND OF THE OUTDOOR CLUB White Cloud went sadly about her domestic duties around the tepee. She longed to be free in the great out-of-doors. to run like the wind, to swim and to shoot the bow and arrow, but her parents objected, saying that it didn't become an Indian maiden, that the Great Spirit was angry with her because of her foolish ideas. Seeking advice, White Cloud went to her friend. Nakomis. the Great Medicine Woman. After White Cloud had told her tale. Nakomis arose, looked into the great steaming cauldron and said, The Great Spirit is not angry, but rejoices with your new freedom. He promises that during the month of the Beaver Moon, fourteen other maidens from your tribe, who also love the out-of-doors, will come to your tepee and proclaim you as their leader, and you all shall have your freedom. When the Night Sun changed into a shape like a canoe, the fourteen Indian maids came to White Cloud’s tepee, and it was as the Great Medicine Woman had promised. Today one can see Pale-face maidens enjoying this freedom of the out-of-doors as did White Cloud and her band of Indian maidens many years ago. PROM The annual war-dance took place this year in mid-winter. Most of the war-paint, however, was worn by the maidens, rather than the braves. Dick Meyer led the Grand March with Mildred Wiseman as his queen. Despite the cold weather outside, a warmth of good feeling prevailed on the inside. A June in January theme was carried out in the decoration of the gym, and, with a few hot numbers from the orchestra, everyone forgot the wintry blasts outside. The war-dance was a big success, even though the Tea Room did run out of ice cream when business was most rushing, and our Big Chief, Mr. Smith, failed to get his usual quota of it. Excellent order prevailed at all times. There were no reports whatsoever of scalping or throwing of tomahawks. We must give credit to the Juniors for an excellent bit of work and a very enjoyable prom. And, as long as we're handing out orchids, we musn't forget Ray Keyes and his orchestra, who handled the tom-toms in a very commendable fashion. 37 We cannot but state that they have established an excellent example for next year's Junior class, and all succeeding Junior classes to live up to and follow. BAND AND ATHLETIC CARNIVAL Aside from the prom, the Carnival was the big event of the year. A new idea was introduced this year in the main room show. An amateur hour was put on, and all the freaks were introduced there. There was no freak show in the gym. It was reported that Miss Bock-man felt none too good as she watched most of the crysthan.-chrys-them,-crythsam,-most of the flowers disappear. (So there!) Eventually, though, the show ended, and everybody went to the gym, where Mr. Jarvis succeeded in taking the cake. Incidentally, that cake never saw daylight. And Mr. Jarvis didn't eat it alone either. In the gym, there were the usual attractions of Bingo, dart-throwing, boxing, horn-blowing, and cane winning, not forgetting the African dodgers, who were, it seems, the only ones who failed to report a good time. The one-act play, Good Medicine, which was held in Room 16, had a large attendance. And let's not forget the Baby Band, pictured above. We didn’t realize until we viewed this exhibition, what talent the younger generation really possesses. The 4-H idea (Hart, Hensel, hamburger, hot dog) at the eat” stand seemed pretty good until someone asked for a Hensel, with onions. (No, it wasn’t Mr. Kraeft.) CLASS PARTIES SENIOR POW WOW Among the four Indian tribes in this high school, there was great jubilation on the days preceding Friday, the thirteenth of September. All superstition regarding the day having been chased from this great wigwam by our astute and scholarly medicine men (teachers), we looked forward with no misgivings to the dance to be given in honor of the many papooses, newly adopted by the tribes. Tom-toms and drums, played by Art Verthien's orchestra in perfect rhythm soon had all the little papooses, their green caps perched precariously on their heads, dancing with the rest, though their steps were a little uncertain and such intricate steps as the older braves, Harper, Miles, and others, were attempting were yet too difficult for infantile limbs. Now and then on the floor one would see one of the senior tribe nobly attempting to teach some little bashful and giggling papoose some steps of the dance, and strange though it may appear, one especially precocious papoose (Reta Geroux) was giving instructions to her senior partner who didn't appear to have enough rhythm in his bones. Green caps were also seen on the heads of new medicine ladies, newly made members of the Council of Elders. Their poise and grace, their apparent intelligence, even their popularity, belied their green caps and spoke rather of much acquaintance with the works of wisdom and knowledge of dancing and the fine arts, as well as of men and affairs. When it was time for their evening feeding the hungry papooses, as well as the others, were served with green ice cream and cookies to their implicit delight. Now they had become old enough to partake of sweets and delicacies as well as cod-liver oil and milk. Since the most important questions in life are when do we eat and what do we eat, it became evident that this party was the turning point in their lives. JUNIOR DANCING FESTIVAL On the first of November, the second dancing festival was given by the Junior tribe. Art Wright's band furnished the music. From the ceiling of the tepee, various colored pennants were hung and added, with the bright colored raiment of the maidens, to the splendor of the occasion. Several members of the tribe, with Chief Douglas Tibbitts acting as master of ceremonies and supplying his usual dry wit, presented a pageant. In this, two young maidens (Margaret Kleeber and Rosalie Wheeler) danced gracefully and beautifully, and the iittle papoose, Helen Roloff, demonstrated that although she was so very young, she was most nimble and would probably become one of the best dancers of the tribe. SQUAW DANCE On February twenty-eighth, a squaw dance was given by the Sophomore tribe. This was a most unusual and clever party. The walls of the wigwam were covered with picture writing and hieroglyphics. Among the Indians as among the white men it is customary and necessary to have a so-called leap year when the maidens may propose marriage to the braves. Accordingly, this being a leap year party the hieroglyphics on the walls represented Indian maids, young or fairly young, and if not beautiful, endowed at least with personality, who were making the most of the opportunity to annex a brave for better or for worse. On close examination of the silhouettes depicted, a resemblance to certain squaws on the Council of Elders was noticeable. The most dramatic poses in fact were the ones showing the above mentioned squaws. Such captions (translated into the white man's tongue) as Get your man, Come on baby take a chance, and Don't hesitate, could be read under the pictures. The sympathy of many went out to Chief Gee Stanislaus Tree Golfball, who, it became evident, had been secretly admired for a long time by many maidens. Fot scarcely had the dance started before the rivalry among the squaws and maidens for his affections became a public fact. No sooner had he taken one or two beautiful, gliding steps with one fair maiden than another, with the fierce light of jealousy glowing in her eyes, would roughly step in and grab the poor bewildered Chief Stan and waltz away with him. 39 The Indian was a great athlete. In running he was very fleet. Following a trail along the ground, He could outrun the best bloodhound. The Indian did never suffer loss At his favorite game—La Crosse Chiefs and maidens he did thrill By his display of perfect skill. We do our best but then we meet Now and then with defeat. 7 £ ff. ft ' Aig|i 5 f 75 79 81 7f 74 7D 7R 80 72 ijpfr fl� 9 h fi n «n:n i r _ TOP ROW—Left to Right—Marvin Fisher, Manager; Burl Rickman, Richard Meyer, Fred Howland.

FOOTBALL The football warriors experienced a very disastrous season last fall, failing to scalp a single opponent. Although the material was light and inexperienced, Chiefs Plenke and Jarvis turned out a band of players that functioned well but lacked the punch that it takes to massacre an opposing tribe. The outstanding warrior of the tribe was captain Wendell Darrow, star half back, passer and punter of the local camp. Besides scoring all of his team's points, he turned in great defensive games. The local boys fell victims to the following tribes—Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin Dells, Tomah, Baraboo, Richland Center, Sparta, and Portage. Chief Plenke awarded letters to the following fellows for competing in the tribal wars: Arvold, Captain Darrow, Gibbons, Joe Greenwood, Finnegan, Hahn, Harper, Harvey, Held, McGarrity, Meyer, Pelton, Stone, Sporleder, Smith, Van Loenen, Walker, Walling, Wood and Managers Jim Greenwood and Fisher. Eleven of the awarded winners will be lost through graduation. JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL Reedsburg's future football warriors, coached by Chief Jerdeman, practiced diligently every night after school in order that Reedsburg's football history of the next decade may be brighter. The squad contained much of the needed talent that will be our key to success in the next few seasons. Captain Bob Meyer led the local tribe on the battlefield in their home and home series with the Baraboo team, these being the only games played. Our fellows showed the fight and zip that is needed on a winning team, but lost both battles by a lone point, missing point after touchdown in both cases.

The following week the alumni were massacred. Following the two victories, Chief Jarvis' tribesmen met a shower of poisoned arrows from the Richland Center camp and retreated after a hard battle. The Tomah Redskins played host to our boys the next week and sent them home amidst defeat. Chiefs Jarvis and Plenke had their teams joined for the annual bombardment from the Baraboo sharpshooters. As a result, the local athletes sent their old rivals back with a defeat. Tomah succeeded in raiding our camp, but not until after a hard battle that took two overtimes to determine the better marksmen. The warriors from La Crosse Logan showed too much class for the local preps in their game at our camp, but fell before an attack on their own grounds. The team closed the season by handing Richland Center a defeat. Walker, forward, was high scorer for the season with 69 points. Crane, playing forward and center, was runner-up with 62. Letters were merited by the following players: Crane, Finnegan, Greenwood, Harvey, McGarrity, Meyer, Rice. Stone, Van Loenen, Walker, Wischhoff. Four of the lettermen will be back to form the nucleus of next year's team. Junior Cagers Win In Tournament Here The high school junior basketball team under the coaching of C. M. Jerdeman, won the championship among four teams here Saturday afternoon by defeating Ablmean 22 to 6. Wonewoc defeated La Valle, 18 to 6 for the consolation score. The scores of the first rounds were: Ableman 9, La Valle 7; Reedsburg 22, Wonewoc, 5. Trophies were awarded the local team and Wonewoc, the consolation winner, by Supt. Floyd Smith. JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL Reedsburg's future basketball prospects look great from the results of games of the Junior High team. They have the remarkable record of winning 25 consecutive battles in the last two seasons. Victories were taken from the following teams in their home and home series: North Freedom, Ableman, Baraboo, Wonewoc, and LaValle. To further stimulate interest in Junior High basketball, Reedsburg sponsored a tournament with four teams competing. Again the local players took the glory by defeating Ableman for the championship. Wonewoc defeated LaValle for consolation. Bud White captained the team through the campaign. An inter-tribal program is also run off in this department. Four teams under the chieftainship of Phil Sedgwick, David Arvold, Edward Sweeney, and Alton Schroeder, played out a round-robin schedule and had intended to finish the season with a tournament. However, only the first round of games was played, leaving the Panthers and Badgers in the upper bracket, and the Hawkeyes and Tigers trailing. TOP ROW—Loft to Right—Royco Harms. Bud Buckley.

The Senior and Junior teams tied for the giantball championship. The Cards, captained by Bob Englebretson, took the volleyball Round Robin and tournament. In basketball Morris Wood's team grabbed the championship, but lost to the Faculty by a score of 22-43. CLASS C TOURNAMENT The eight class C tribes that merited recognition in the local tournament were— Bangor, Camp Douglas, Holmen, Lime Ridge, Norwalk, Soldiers Grove, Spring Green, and West Salem. Bangor and Norwalk ruled as pre-tourney favorites and they both came through to the finals with Bangor taking the decision after a thrilling overtime battle. Soldiers Grove nosed out Lime Ridge for consolation honors in another overtime game. CLASS A TOURNAMENT Reedsburg's basketball warriors competed in the class A tournament at Sparta. Although they lost both their games—by close scores—they displayed a good brand of basketball. The first battle was lost to our old rival, Baraboo, by a lone point—20-19. This put us in the consolation bracket, where we promptly lost the following night to Portage by a 23-21 score. Ripon won the championship, Baraboo placed second, Portage third, and Viroeua fourth. -16 TOP ROW—Eileen Whitty, Helen Herwig, Betty Lou Mephan, Margaret Kleeber.

GIRLS’ RECREATION ASSOCIATION The Girls’ Recreation Association was composed of about sixty sports-loving girls this year, from various tribes—Seniors. Juniors. Sophomores, and Freshmen. To develop strong bodies, to preserve health through activities and to get close to Nature through outdoor sports, were three of the main goals of this organization. Like the Indian maids of by-gone years, these modern misses enjoyed learning to play new games, and playing these games with a whole-hearted enthusiasm. Various activities were planned by the sport chiefs this year and were eagerly carried out by the tribe members. An archery group was formed, and during the Indian summer our girls had the privilege of learning that old Indian art of properly using a bow and arrow. Some of the girls became warriors by piercing the bull’s-eye. The girls enjoyed it immensely, although few were able to bring down the big red deer, the roebuck. After archery season was over, attention was turned to volleyball. In this, one tribe played another. Being spurred on by the thought of defending their own titles, they all played excellent games. Four mighty Senior chiefs defeated eleven sophomore squaws in the championship game. When winter settled down around us. we moved into winter quarters. Basketball teams were organized and a Round Robin tournament was arranged. Two games were played each week. This year Massman’s tribe won the Heap Big title, when they defeated the Smith clan, 18 to 16. While our more romantic Indian maids were rejoicing over the coming of spring, our ambitious members were forming baseball teams. The girls made good use of the playground and every Fleet Foot and Running Deer was given a wonderful opportunity to make home-runs. ?hyliis' Wheeler, it+enban5 President; Betty O’Keefe.

The Indian father led his son To the lofty mountain top, And pointed out where rivers run And buffalo trails stop. All nature's secrets he must know; The forest holds no secret dark, No birds that fly—no trees that grow But he must learn to mark. Nature’s not our only school. We learn from teachers—sometimes cruel. We learn from work, we learn from play; 50 _ aftef the prom the srupfNji THE MCULTy, } aND MR.
