COPYRIGHT Editor-in-Chief ROSAMOND HARMS Business Manager ROSEMARY STONE the GLEANER 1938 Published by THE SENIOR CLASS of REEDSBURG HIGH SCHOOL Reedsburg, Wisconsin CONTENTS • FACULTY • CLASSES • ACTIVITIES • LIFE FOREWORD As the newsreel cameraman creates through his film a vivid picture of events of interest all over the world, we have tried to concentrate in this book a picture of our school year of 1937-38 that will leave with the reader an interesting impression as well as a lasting record. When years have dulled the edge of memory may this book help you to relive many pleasant days and to renew the associations with numerous friends and classmates. DEDICATION We dedicate this, the 1938 Gleaner, to the four hundred and thirty-five members of the student body whose life in Reedsburg High we have tried to portray and preserve for the future. OUR SUPERINTENDENT Page eight OUR PRINCIPAL A day with Mr. DeLong begins at six o'clock. After an enjoyable breakfast with his wife and son, Ronald, he leaves for school at six forty-five. He arrives at school at seven and starts his daily preparation. Perhaps it’s a test for his Advanced Math on logarithms, or maybe it’s an explanation of the Pythagorean Theorem for his Geometry Class. Mr. DeLong has duties in the office from eight to nine, when he writes passes for tardy students, examines their excuses and checks on any delinquencies. Many students have paid dearly for attempting to “pull the wool over his eyes.” From nine until noon he’s a teacher by nature and rarely does a student fail to grasp any phase of mathematics after his clear explanation of it. His classes are informal; but there is no “horseplay,” and a feeling of unity and cooperation prevails; perhaps this explains Mr. DeLong’s popularity. School is dismissed at twelve, and, after his dinner, lie’s back at twelve forty-five for another hour and a half of administrative work, at which time he also gives help to questioning students. The sixth hour is occupied by another section of Geometry. Then follows his Assembly period, where his disposition is really tried. He’s surrounded by dozens of students, everyone with a question. He disposes of these systematically, and in a few minutes the room is in perfect order. Homer E. DeLong, B.A., B.A., Milton College, University of Wisconsin. Although the school day for the students ends at four, Mr. DeLong remains until five-thirty checking up attendance, detentions and daily troubles. One would think the above schedule would constitute a day’s work but Mr. DeLong rarely has an evening at home. After his supper he is usually busy with some school activity. He is active in scoutwork and faithfully performs his duties as an executive. At ten or so he calls it a day. —Ed Stone A D M I N I S T R A T I 0 N Page nine BOARD OF EDUCATION A D M I N I S T R A T I 0 N LEFT TO RIGHT: Arthur Hulburt, William Arvold, I)r. F. A. Kike, Philip Schwcke, Mrs. Agnes Thiemann. William Reines, Louis Fuchs. During the past year the school hoard has given much attention to the alteration and improvement of the High School building by painting and redecorating throughout. The Home Economics Department, entirely modernized, has been moved to the second floor, thus making the third floor solely a music room. The Board has also supervised the completion of all necessary work in the new elementary school. The board, in showing its interest in furthering the development of the arts in the school and community, has approved several new methods of education, such as the course of study best known as the “activity program;” the Federal Vocational and Homemaking courses; and several night adult classes, conducted by various teachers. For the benefit of the teachers, the board has instituted the new twenty day cumulative sick-leave policy. The Seniors of 1938 thank the board for the fine opportunities it has opened to them and deeply appreciate the effort and services rendered by it. ESTHER M EDEN WALD SECRETARY Typing, writing passes or make-up cards for the students, taking dictation, checking records, busy all the time, efficiency personified—that’s our office-girl. She is known and liked by the students and faculty alike for her smiling personality and willingness to cooperate with them. -RUTH SCHUMACHER. Page ten HELEN BECHTOLT.

As Sophomores, they gave a unique Valentine j arty. An overabundance of pep, took their rating down to fourth place in I oyalty, although their competition in all fields was good. To climax their social activities, they gave a Christmas party and sponsored the annual Junior Prom. Tom Temple’s orchestra plus careful planning made the prom a decided success. Social life is not their only interest, for you find, them taking an active part in the Hand, Orchestra, and Glee Clubs, as well as in Dramatics and Forensics.

But the difference in number really isn’t the important thing. Don’t you notice something else? -a touch of sophistication, perhaps? A worldly-wise expression taking the place of last year’s wide-eyed wonder ? Now—a minute to point out the outstanding people in an outstanding class. Ed Sweeney is our prexy; Dave Arvold, our vice-president; Phil Stern, secretary and treasurer; and Laura Mae Meyer, our loyalty representative. D’you see the seventh girl in the fourth row? Well, Dorothy’s tops scholastically; Jean and Fern (third row) represent the class in forensics. But the opposite sex has its celebrities too. There’s Carl Stubenvoll. representative of the school in both debate and vocal work. There are Maske, Brice, and Sedgwick, regulars on the football squad, and Burmester, Stubenvoll, and Held as good prospects. Brice, our first string man in basketball; Maske, Sedgwick, Schroeder, Cottington, and Schulz, all “B” team men; Sedgwick, who plays a mean game of golf and swings a wicked raquet too; and Bernien, another of the school’s “best putters!” And—not only are we well represented on the teams themselves, but through the past year the managers of both major sports have been sophomore class members, Phil Stern (football) and Ed Sweeney (basketball). Quite a beginning, isn’t it? Watch us! The class of 40 is going places.

On September 7, 1937, 101 bewildered freshmen swarmed through the halls of Reedsburg High School. Some were tall, some were short, but all were confused. These ambitious green freshmen launched on their career through high school under the guidance of their faculty advisor, Miss I eFevre and their class officers who were elected at the first class meeting. Soon activities for the freshmen began and they proved their school spirit at the pep-pro-gram for the Homecoming game by putting on a radio broadcast. The freshmen have been well represented in all school activities. They rank high in loyalty points and gave the other classes plenty of competition. To prove they aren’t far behind their upper classmen, many freshies were seen at the annual Junior Prom; and besides attending the parties of the other classes the freshmen sponsored an all-school party in May. With all of these activities, a successful year has been completed, and they are looking forward to three more such enjoyable years. CLASS OFFICERS President—Raymond Bohen Vice President—Leonard Fields Secretary Treasurer—Lawrence Black Loyalty Representative—LaVern Meyer Page twenty-six 0 u R A C T I V I T Y S C H 0 0 L Reedsburg High School is the scene of a new type of school curriculum this year. The need for an activity period in which pupils have time and opportunity to find themselves, and to Income proficient in activities which will help them after graduation has long l een felt. The solution which combines an ordinary program with a time for avocations has been found. The school day begins at eight o’clock in the morning and continues until four in the afternoon. During each day there are seven one-hour | eriods. All academic and required courses of study are scheduled between the hours of nine and three. Regular classes meet four days a week, the classes being staggered so that a different period is free each day. Each pupil is required to enter at least two activities for the year, as well as carry his regular subjects. To meet the needs and varied interests of the students, a wide and interesting activity program was arranged. Students could make their choice from a list of thirty different clubs. The activity program has as one of its added features the incorporation into school activities of many rural students who ordinarily found it necessary to leave school early and miss extracurricular work. The periods between eight and nine in the morning and three and four in the afternoon are devoted to activity every day in the week. The large activity groups have the first opportunity. The eight to nine period is given over to the instrumental groups, band and orchestra, while the three to four period is devoted to vocal work, debate, forensics and athletic training. By giving over the last period in the day to the above mentioned activities, the rural student enrollment in these activities has been greatly increased. By starting at three o’clock the rural group may be dismissed not later than four-thirty, which gives all ample time to get home.

THE SQUAD The 1937 football season was full of excitement for the Keedsburg fans in spite of a few losses. After the victories over Wisconsin Dells and New Lisbon, Keedsburg lost their first conference game in a gruelling, heartbreaking battle wi.li Tomah. Then, under the newly installed lights, Baraboo defeated Keedsburg in a hard-fought game. These two conference defeats did not dismay the boys, for they came back strong, defeating a hard-hitting Viroqua team and tieing a tough Rich'and Center team. The boys really hit their full stride when they beat Sparta in a spectacular game packed with thrills. Then, in the last game, unable to overcome the Portage jinx, Keedsburg was defeated. —Royce Harms SCORES Scores Date Opponent R.H.S. Opp. Date Opponent R.H.S.

A T H L E T THE SQUAD The 1937-38 basketball season was in every way successful for K. H. S. Coach Plenke and his squad, after both winning and losing games during the season, came through at the District Tournament, when they won the Championship with a decisive victory over Reedsburg’s greatest rival, Baraboo. This spectacular game repeated last year’s upset, and gave Baraboo their only defeat of the season. Reedsburg was third in conference standing with six victories over four defeats, scoring 240 points against their opponents’ 210. High score men on the Reedsburg team were Bob Meyer, who was fourth in scoring in the South Central Conference with 71 points to his credit, and Captain “Red” Rice, veteran of four seasons, who was second with 55 points.

One of our most vital school activities is the band organization. Dressed in purple and white uniforms, the band meml ers were both seen and heard at every football and basketball game, promoting pep and school spirit. Music may be heard, issuing from Room G three mornings a week, at which time the kind holds its practice. Sectional and solo practices which are conducive to good band music, are held once a week. The loss of last year’s Seniors was checked by taking in new members from the junior band. Two Sunday-afternoon concerts were given to the enjoyment of the public. Director: Mr. Ritzentha’er This year Reedsburg acted as host to bands competing in the District Tournament, April 30. Under the competent direction of A. K. Ritzenhaler, the band had progressed to such an extent that he entered it in Class B for the first time. The band members are very grateful to the Band Mother’s organization which has made their participation in tournaments possible. —Rosemary Stone Page thirty-four CD ZQ 73HC )ni0Z)0 TOP ROW: June harrow, Fay Fullmer, Arneita Gehrig Beverly Bellman, Warren Niebuhr.

They played for various functions, among which were the Silver Tea, the Senior Class Play, the Junior High Operetta, “The Lady Says Yes, and for Commencement. At the annual district tournament, they won second place in C lass C last year, but plan on bettering their record this year, at the tournament held in Reedsburg. The contest numbers are, “March Classic” by von Weber, “Intermezzo” by George Bizet, and “Sonatina” by Clementi. The orchestra has grown since last year, and now consists of 13 brass and woodwinds, and 25 strings. The strings have been organized under a student conductor, and vie with each other in challenging sessions for the honored positions. They have been learning the technical side of music from our able director Miss Bush, who replaced Miss Bockman.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Senior Class Play, “Let’s He Somebody, under the direction of Miss Bergman, was presented at the New School Auditorium December 9. The play was a three act comedy. Gale Krug and Ruth Schumacher played Mr. and Mrs. Delaney, who had just moved from a small town home to a city apartment. Rosemary Stone starred as Doris, their daughter, who. trying to teach old dogs new tricks, had a hard time “modernizing” her thrifty old-fashioned parents to match city fashions. Ruth Miles was the flippant younger daughter, lean, enjoying a high school romance with Earl Finck, played by “Tunney Schulze. Mrs. Finck, whose wedding was a part of the play, was impersonated by Rosamond Harms and the part of Belle Hyde, a friend of Doris, by Phyllis Yanke. Ed Stone starred as Jerome Bill, the hero of the play, who succeeded in winning Doris for himself. Harold Gluth appeared in the play as a happy-go-lucky electrician.

The debate season this year was an interesting and informative one with the question, Resolved: “That the several states should adopt a unicameral system of legislation.” The debate team met four times a week under the supervision of Mr. Donald Horkan, and met several of the surrounding schools in debates. Each year the school debate team takes part in a South Central Conference debate tournament. This year, as in the past, the team made an excellent showing. The members of the two teams were: affirmative—Norma Meyer, Robert Yeck, and Harold Gluth; negative—Leonard Haines, Carl Stubenvoll, and Helen Zeich. With early spring, work started on the forensics such as, extemporaneous speaking and reading, oratory, and declamatory. The forensic program was under the direction of Mr. Horkan and Miss Bergman with the assistance of the high school English teachers. After several preliminary eliminations the local contest was held March 11. In the local eliminations Harold Gluth placed first in oratory, Elmore Outcalt second. In humorous declama-torv Jean Campbell placed first and Helen Roloff second; while in dramatic declamatory Ruth Hamburg won first and Diana Hochmuth second. —Harold Gluth Extemporaneous Readers and Speakers: TOP ROW: Fay Marie Fullmer.

When the guests arrived at Swing Hotel, the theme for the Prom, they were greeted by a uniformed doorman. Two hundred couples recorded their names in the Hotel register and were introduced over a loud speaker. They passed into the hall, and presto! decorations of soft colors blending from yellow to deep orange, silhouettes of musical instruments, and dancers took them into another world. The lights, turned down, shone like dim candles. The bright colored formats mingled with dark velvets and taffetas to contrast with the young men’s more somber attire, as they danced to the music of Tom Temple’s well known fourteen piece orchestra. Tall and stately Mr. Hud White reigned over the affair with his beautiful queen. Miss Hetty Lou Mepham. Her majesty was dressed in a gown of light rose chiffon over satin, in graceful and becoming redingote style. A white net veil caught with tiny flowers floated over her dark hair. A shoulder bouquet of gardenias, silver accessories, and a wrap of deep rose completed her costume. Glamour and grace were combined in the grand march led by the king and queen at ten o’clock. The happy hours went fleeting by; all too soon the strains of the music faded away and the curtain was drawn on the Junior Prom of ’38. —Mary Kick General Chairman: Margaret Klceber Decorations: Kenneth Mickelson Mary Rice Betty Lou Mepham Susan Stone Frances Wes ted t Helen Zeich Bud White Rose!le Schuette Betty Hummel Bob Meyer Orchestra: Jim Duddleston Robert Sporleder Refreshments: Helen Roioff Gertrude Selle Florence Kohlmcyer Helen Koenecke La Verne Kropp The King and Queen Programs: Helen Farbrr Ros 'e; Wheeler Tickets and Invitations: Betty Jane Lund Jean Wickersham Furniture: John Harrington Harry Wagrnrr Gerald Whitty Jim Stahnke James Hayes Checking: Evelyn Stem Shirley Sharp Milton Dryer Roe Shultis Page forty-four Y The Loyalty Board is a newcomer to the pages of the Gleaner but not to the school. It was organized in nineteen-hundred-seventeen, during the World War, for the purpose of fostering the loyalty of the students toward their school. Just as there have been changes in the curriculum so there have been changes in the I-oyalty program, hut fundamentally it remains the same as when it was begun. The Loyalty Board, which consists of three faculty members and a representative from each class, strives to promote school spirit by urging each class to a friendly rivalry with the other classes in scholarship, school attendance, citizenship, and participation in athletics and other activities. Reitorts are given to the student body each six weeks to let the classes know how they compare with each other in representing and supporting their school. Late in May a banquet and dance are held, at which the final reports are made. The banquet affords the students another opportunity to win credits for their class; for points ;u-e given for the best class song, the best stunt, the best table decorations, and the largest percentage of attendance. At the close of this banquet, a trophy, bearing the numerals of all the classes that have ever won it, is awarded to the class with the highest ranking. This class, too, has the privilege of having its numerals painted on the dome of the High School for the coming vear. Page forty-five A L L S C H 0 0 L P A R T I E S SENIOR MIXER It is the Senior’s privilege to have the first school party. This year they had the opportunity to welcome the Frosh and celebrate a football victory at the same time. The decorations carried out the football idea, for the gym was turned into a mock gridiron. At one end was a scoreboard with the Reedsburg score, and at the other, between two goal posts was a dummy making a touchdown. Along the edges were the familiar yardline numbers. Tiny paper pennants were pinned on the guests, designating to which class each belonged. A balloon dance served as an excellent mixer, since no one could stand on his dignity very long with a balloon tied to his ankle. After dancing all evening to Art Verthien's orchestra, and eating the ice cream which the Seniors served, the Freshmen felt that they really were a part of the general student body. THANKSGIVING TRUCKIN’ On November nineteenth the Loyalty Board gave a Thanksgiving party in the new gym. at which Art Wright’s orchestra furnished the music. The idea of Thanksgiving was carried out by using corn shocks for decorations, by giving the girls Puritan caps and the boys Indian head-bands, and by having apples for refreshments. Perhaps the highlight of the evening was the introduction of “The Big Apple,’’ which has been popular at high school parties ever since. XMAS SWING On December third the Juniors entertained the rest of the school at a Christmas party. Suggestive of the cheery Yuletide were the candy canes, which on close inspection turned out to be the posts around the gym. In the corners were evergreen trees, loaded with tinsel and packages; and on the walls sparkling letters wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. “The Big Apple was very popular but the feature of the evening was a doll dance. Toward the end of the evening Santa Claus dropped in to see how the students had been behaving. The Freshmen were quite disillusioned to find that jolly, old St. Nick was only “Kenny” Mickel-son. After he had distributed his presents and vanished to the tune of “Jingle Bells,” red ice cream with green Christmas trees in the center was served. AFTER-GAME DANCES The I oyalty Board sponsored dances after the Baraboo, Sparta, and Richland Center games. These dances differed from the usual school parties, to which only students may go, because all who attended the games were invited. SPRING DANCES During the Spring two more parties are given, one by the Sophomores and the other by the Freshmen. Although the Gleaner must go to press l efore they are held, we are sure that they will be very successful. —Enid Tyi.er Page forty-six TOP ROW: Martin Berning, Harvey Stern, Donald Mover, Mil'y Thompson, Kenneth Krueger, Mr. Hanson, Jack McCormick, Harold Gavin, Aurrin Greenwood, Reginald Hall, Roflin Spractz, Officer Camp.

The Safety Patrol is a student organization which was started for the purpose of protecting pedestrians from death and injuries by automobiles. The American Legion assumed the responsibility of starting the Safety Patrol in Reeds-burg, and supplied each member with a l elt, cap. badge, raincoat, and rainhat. The Legion was assisted by the city and county police, who instructed the student members and agreed to help enforce certain rules and laws when necessary. The Safety Patrol was officially inaugurated in a ceremony at the South School Auditorium the first of December, when the belts and badges were distributed to the members. As a reward for their services, the boys receive one pass a month to the Badger Theatre and a banquet, given by the Legion, at the end of the school year. Mr. Hanson, the Physical Education instructor, is in charge of the Reedsburg Safety Patrol. Mr. Normington and Jerome Andersen, the captain, organized the Patrol, appointing each boy to his position. Jerry, and his lieutenant. Royce Harms, deserve credit for devoting so much of their time to the supervising of the Patrol. —Robert G.

Anyone who ventures to say they are glad to be hack in school is termed a sissy.” Our new activity program was explained by Mr. Normington. We Seniors will have to keep our eyes open for wandering Frosh the next week. September 10 End of the first week and everyone is exhausted trying to remember what activity to go to and what class not to. September 17 Attended the mixer given by the Seniors to-night. The new students and teachers could he recognized by the green hair ribbons and ties they were given to wear. The Frosh are now quite broken in to their new social life. September 18 Noticed that Miss Bergman and Mr. Ritzenthaler were more than usually lenient and good natured today. Looking into the matter I found that the reason must he they are receiving visitors from Sparta and Lake Forest respectively this week end. September 23 Could tell something special was to take place as everyone came to school this morning in their best bib and tucker. Turned out the class pictures were taken for the Gleaner. September 24 Rain doesn’t stop our fellows in playing football. Beat New Lisbon on their field, 19 to 12. A good one act play was given by the Junior Dramatics Club for the pep meeting. Another rainy football day. The fellows did not fare as well at Toniah as they did last Friday. October 5 Bought a purple and white arm band to wear to the Baraboo game. Everyone was running around loaded down with crepe paper and what-not getting the floats ready for the Homecoming game, Friday. October 7 Went to the pep meeting held in the Main Room tonight. All four classes gave skits and the Junior class won first prize for the best entertainment. Their class thus received extra Loyalty points. Guess we Seniors are running out of ideas for pep meetings. Then the snake dance started at the High School ending up at the ball park, the football fellows riding in a hay wagon. Speeches were given by the coach and several leading citizens of Recdsburg. The climax of the evening was burning the effigy of Baraboo. October 8 Didn’t recognize lots of my pals today. It was hobo day in school. Seemed queer to see bewhis-kered fellows smoking corncob pipes sitting in the Main Room. Got out of school early to start the parade. First came the floats, then all the R.H.S. bums. The Gleaner staff won first prize for their float. Even though we did lose our homecoming game to Baraboo, we surely had fun. It was our first football game in Rceds-burg to be played at night. The new flood lights were dedicated after the game. September 28 First fire drill today. Welcomed the chance of getting fresh air in the middle of a class discussion. Bought a pencil with the football and basketball schedule printed on it. September 30 Wasn’t late to school this morning as I had to go earlier for Band Marching practice. Nonmath Science class went on a picnic this afternoon. Saw Miss Smith about 6:00 looking a bit bedraggled. October 9 Sorry to see two of our active students, Wally and Gertrude Luebke move to Janesville today. October 12 The first edition of the W.P.A. came out today. Was embarrassed to find the paper meant what it said, We Print Anything.” October 18 Was surprised to see so many Seniors going dramatic. The Class Play tryouts were held today. Page fifty-four October 19 November 22 Heard about the faculty party tonight at Bara-boo. I guess a lot of unsuspected talent was discovered in the new teachers during the initiation. One turned out to he quite a blues singer. October 20 Made up my mind to study the next six weeks. Got report cards today. Marks for me have hit a new low. Was enlightened when I found I had many partners in misery. October 29 Bottles of pep were sold to the students by the members of the Gleaner staff who put on a clever pep meeting today. The squad must have indulged in the beverage as we came out on top at S;� arta. October 30 Couldn’t think why I got up so early on a Saturday morning. Then remembered Demonstration Day. Teachers from other towns had a chance to visit our class rooms and to see how we ran our activity program. November 4 Whoopee! Vacation for two days! The teachers have gone to the convention in Milwaukee. Schol was dismissed the third period this morning to go to the New School to a program. The Safety Patrol boys were given their equipment and badges. An excellent talk on safety was given by a State Trooper. November 24 We were paid for the Saturday morning that we came to school. Only one half day of school today. November 25 Thanksgiving Vacation. November 30 Noticed that many girls look glum today. All the CCC boys 1 ave quit school. December 3 Went to a Christmas party given by the Juniors. Many of the girls missed the basketball fellows who were playing a practice game at Madison tonight. December 9 Went to see the Senior Class Play, “Let’s Be Somebody.” The play was a success and I think Miss Bergman deserves much credit for her coaching. The cast presented her with a fruit bowl in hopes that she will make good use of it next year. November 8 Miss Bergman is flashing a ring on the third finger of her left hand. She told our Eng-lish class confidentially that it all happened on the twentieth floor of the Schroeder Hotel. Mr. Hanson returned with the beginnings of a mustache. These conventions— Evans Brown’s program today. He’s also a musician, skilled in the playing of the harp and piano. Thrilled us all by playing familiar popular tunes on the harp. He also showed on the piano how tunes of today have originated in some of the old masterpieces. November 19 Went to the first high school party, held in the New School. Given by the Loyalty board, the party was a success. The decorations were in keeping with Thanksgiving season. I had a swell time. December 10 Two si: ters, Josephine and Lola Wagner started school today. Went to first home basketball game t might. We beat Logan! December 13 Another new entree to school was Vercen Pippin, from sunny California. December 14 Am glad to bear that the noon period is to be lengthened ten minutes. After thinking it over I realized it might give me more time to wipe dishes and no excuse for being late to school. Such is life! December 17 The Santa Claus in the Sopho-' z more’s pep meeting gave out fit-' ting presents to the students and teachers. Two of the funniest were a tin ring to Mr. Plenke and hair grower to Mr. Hanson to help along gjlhis mustache. Our team came out on top in basketball at Sparta. Page fifty-five 73 — O F1D D E A R D I A R Y December 23 Christmas vacation started today. I will proceed to forget everything I ever learned. Our men teachers are taking long distance trips this vacation. Horkan to Washington, D. C., Hanson to Florida, and Ritzenthalcr to Minnesota. January 4 Witnessed a very exciting game tonight. Reeds-burg played Wisconsin Rapids in basketball and won by the narrow margin of 22 to 20, in an overtime game. Visited with Mr. Smith, our former Superintendent and was glad to rub in the fact that wc won. January 6 Was late to school this morning as I’m not used to the early hours. Got all the dope on the presents received for Christmas, how New Year’s Eve was spent and heard all the New Year’s Resolutions. January 7 Lots of kids went to the Portage game, but the gym is so small many had to stand all evening. We were glad to beat Portage even though Kraeft is their coach. January 18 Exams—no more need be said. Will be in condition to continue writing in this diary Friday— I hope! January 19 Must take time to write this—It struck me funny today. A speaker from the board of health stressed the fact that sleep was essential in everyone’s healthy living. Nice time, during exams to try to bring out that point. January 21 Survived through the week. The teachers gave a pep meeting today. Mr. Loofboro made an excellent cheerleader and I was surprised at the ability of the other teachers at speaking pieces. Lost our game to Baraboo. It’s the end of the semester today—only four and a half months left. February 2 Juniors started decorating for prom today. They are trying to keep their idea a secret but wc Seniors are trying hard to find out. February 3 Read an interesting prom issue of the W.P.A. Surprised to find so many Frosh taking the big step. Went to bed early tonight to rest up. January 13 Football letters were given out this noon. I learned a lot of new nicknames of the fellows on W the squad, also which fellows blushed when Coach Plenke kid- ,UV 8.. ir (je(| theini January 14 A heated debate on the question of the competence of the bicameral system of government was held in the Main Room today. Many sarcastic remarks were made. The unicameral side won. January 17 Enjoyed the concert given by the W.P.A. Orchestra at the New school this morning. Mr. Normington read the prom rules this noon. Also noticed a sign on the bulletin to bashful boys, “Get your prom date or she will go with somebody else.” Started cramming for exams tonight, breaking my New Year’s resolution that I would start studying for exams two weeks ahead of time. February 4 There were only four of us girls in History class this after-' 1 noon. The beauty parlors must have been overflowing. Even ftY though it was pouring, I had a lucV marvelous time at the “Swing Hotel.’’ Tom Temple was grand! I am so sleepy I can hardly write this. February 11 The basketball squad went to Sparta on the train, giving musicals on the way. Several of the boys made feminine acquaintances in Sparta and almost missed the train home. February 14 Most of the teachers received anonymous sarcastic valentines today. It’s a lucky thing we have a good humored faculty. Page fifty-six February 15 March 31 Was entertained by Jessie Ray Taylor this afternoon. She did some excellent impersonations of Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, an old negro, a blacksmith, and many others. February 26 Miss Hart announced that History theses must be handed in next week. Guess I'll have to start writing mine. March 3 The faculty beat the “All Stars” in '■y a thrilling basketball game this after-' noon. Our men teachers appeared on ' , the floor in culottes and bloomers. The women teachers cheered the faculty to victory. Stayed up late to finish my thesis which is to be handed in tomorrow. An announcement party has been given of Miss Anderson’s and Mr. Plenke’s approaching marriage. The bulletin board read today, “Myrt Jack X April 16.” March 10 Went to tournament games tonight in New School. Reedsburg beat Portage, and Baraboo beat Richland Center, both very close games. March 11 Reedsburg won the tournament! I’m so hoarse, I can’t make a sound. No studying this week end. Mr. Loofboro agreed not to give our Chemistry class a test if Reedsburg won the tournament. March 17 St. Patrick’s Day. Green dresses and sweaters were prevalent today. St. Patrick's W.P.A. was issued today. March 18 Went to Sparta to the tournament. No go to the State tournament. Rained pitchforks all the way home. March 21 First day of spring. Annual parade was led down Main Street by the Pep Band and then to school. March 22 Almost had a hair pulling contest in the Senior Class meeting for the girl’s today to decide what to wear for graduation. Each girl had her own idea. It was finally decided that white suits are to be worn. All of us girls who have been having spring fever and wearing anklets were shivering in a wintry wind today. As March came in like a lamb, I should have remembered it would go out like a lion. April 1 Our Friday program was given by the Loyalty board today. Found out there were several students who were trying to keep their birthday today a secret. I don’t blame them, being born on Fool’s Day. April 16 Wedding bells will be ringing for the two faculty members. Miss Anderson and Mr. Plenke. A combination of Home Ec. -f- Manual Training ought to =: Wedded Happiness! April 20 I’ll have a chance to wear my prom formal to the Spring Hop. Everyone was so pleased with Tom Temple’s music for the prom that he is playing for this event. April 30 All the work that we’ve done in Band will seem well worth while when we’ll be competing against other Bands in the District Tournament, which is held in our own fair city this year. May 14 Will be going to the annual Loyalty Feast at this date. I hope that we Seniors will come out on top. June 3 It hardly seems possible that I will be through with High School. This year has been so filled up with things to do that I can't realize it will soon be completed. It’s funny to see the different reactions of the Seniors. Some are sad to think that soon they will be alumnae, and others can’t wait. The kids are beginning to talk about their future —some are going away to school, and some will work. Even though it’s been hard work I know that I’ll remember all the good times I have had in R.H.S. —Rosemary Stone D E A R D I A R Y Page fifty-seven cdzo-h—ojs ;oo-zno) So that when I page through this book many years from now I may know whether the ambition I hereby state for myself has become a reality: Abbs, Beatrice: “A job as waitress appeals to me, Whether I’ll like it, I’ll have to see.” All, Bernard: “I would like to go to the University or White-water Normal and major in History.” Anderson, Ellie: “1 would like to study as an apprentice to become a machinist.” Andersen, Jerome: “C ommercial photography is my ambition, My work will be known in many a nation; Pll work from the bottom to the top ’Til into Don Wallace’s boots I’ll drop.” Arvold, Bill: “My ambition is to become a successful chemical engineer.” Bass, Blanche: My ambition is to become a successful teacher.” Black, Jeanne: “I would like to take up Beauty C ulture.” Black, Jeanette: I would like to take up Beauty Culture.” Broas, Eda Virginia: Tliough I’d like to be a teacher Of typing and shorthand I’d also like to be the leader Of an all girl swing band.” Byrnes, Berniece: “My ambition is to go to school and become a kindergarten or first grade teacher.” Cady, Roger: I would like to save up enough money in the next few years to go on to school.

Your friend, John Harrington By the way, here is a choice bit on Jim Peterson and a certain young lady who lives down near South Park, that he took to a movie. On the way out Jim went by the theater to check on the price. When he saw that it was bargain night, he quickly dashed down the street. In about 30 minutes he returned with his girl; walking up to the ticket office, Jim crouched down very low, and pulling his little partner down a little lower, he said in a very childish voice, that only the ticket-girl could hear: “Two children’s please.” And can you imagine it ?—he got away with it!

Miss Smith (slamming the door in Helen’s astonished face): You can’t fool me—It’s April 1st. And incidentally, Miss Smith kept her father waiting on the long distance telephone! Who was April-fooled ? —Elaine Prange Page sixty-two We, the Seniors of '38, entered R.H.S. as Frosh in September, 1934—a daring, enthusiastic group. Since that first morning, when our minds were whirling in bewilderment, we have become calm and sophisticated and attached ourselves so strongly to our Alma Mater that she shall never lack our love and support. With Miss Williams as advisor, we organized our class of one hundred ten members by electing Rosemary Stone, president, Eugene Wheeler, vice president, Bill Arvold, secretary and treasurer, and Harold Gluth, loyalty representative. After we had become situated in our new environment, the Seniors requested our presence as guests at the customary Senior Mixer, when we were officially initiated into the social realm of R.H.S. When the '34 football season opened, seven of our boys dared to enlist as gridiron warriors and to render their services through the coming four years. Likewise, three of our boys became permanent members of the basketball team. Towards spring we were called upon to use our social talent as hosts at a Valentine party. In May our class was well-represented at the Loyalty Feast and succeeded in winning third place in Loyalty. In 1935 we enrolled as Sophomores, a class of one hundred twelve. Miss McAfee became our new class advisor, and has remained with our class through these last three years. Our Sophomore officers were: Bill Arvold, president, Wally Luebke, vice president, Arneita Gehrig, secretary and treasurer, and Enid Tyler, loyalty representative. The highlight of our Sophomore year was a unique Leap Year Party. We worked out our decorations in a stunning contrast of black and white, with black silhouettes and clever ditties, characterizing the event, scattered about the walls. We won fourth place in Loyalty at the end of the school year. To begin our Junior year we welcomed several new members who entered our class from two-year high schools in the vicinity. We elected Ted Finnegan president, “Tunney” Schulze, vice president. Gale Krug, secretary and treasurer and Enid Tyler, loyalty representative. This year had several important highlights. First of all we were proud of our outstanding participation in athletics, music and other activities. As Juniors, we were hosts at two major social events of the year; first, we gave a balloon party, in which the decorations consisted of balloons, as well as a novelty dance in which everyone tied a hallo n to his ankle and tried to keep his own balloon unbroken the longest. Second, and greatest, was the Junior prom, on April 9. Ted Finnegan led the grand march with his queen, Delores Timbers. Our theme was a Venetian vineyard, with white latticework, entwined with large silver leaves and tendrils and huge clusters of purple balloons. We had the pleasure of being the first c'ass to entertain in the New School Auditorium, which had just been completed. Although we wanted to get our '38 on the dome, we only took third place in Loyalty. Of all four years in high school, our Senior year has gone the fastest. We had “Gene” Wheeler as our president, Ed Stone as vice president, Rill Arvold as secretary and treasurer, and Jim Peterson as loyalty representative. In the early fall we were hosts to the Frosh at the annual Senior Mixer. We had two fine athletic seasons, for the success of which our Senior Champs deserve much credit. Finally, as guests, we wish to thank the Junior Class for the fine Prom they gave for us. Since the Gleaner must go to press before the Loyalty Banquet, we can only hope that we Seniors will get the cup and have our ’38 painted on the dome of R.H.S. for the next year. All in all, we one-hundred and twelve Seniors are very proud of our class, and since we have so many geniuses in the class, we think it fitting to will some of our talents, as we leave this high school, to some of the lower classmen, whose career in R.H.S. is not yet completed. Ed Stone, “Brutus” Held, Bill Arvold, Stan O’Keefe, “Red” Rice, Ted Finnegan and “Gene” Wheeler are chipping together and willing their surplus strength, weight and football knowledge, which they acquired during their four seasons of fighting, to a worthy Junior, Royce Harms. “Red” Rice, Ed Stone, “Gene” Wheeler and Jim Peterson are leaving their basketball talent, plus a big l oost, to Bob Meyer, so that next year he can lead the South Central Conference with his season’s points. Leonard Ruehlow, Theo Dwyer, Bill Arvold, Arneita Gehrig. Ruth Miles, Roy Strieker, Norman Thies and Rosemary Stone, who have all been members of the hand for the last four years, bequeath their long-windedness to he equally divided among next year’s freshman band members. Harold Gluth. although he wants to keep a little on hand in case he should become a preacher, gives some of his oratorical abilities to his Sophomore rival. Elmore Outcalt. We are proud of the three soloists of the Senior Class, Eleanor Schmeltzer. Gale Krug and Phyllis Yanke. Gale’s testament shows a bequest to Bobbie Holtz, and Phillis and Eleanor are giving some of their soprano qualities to Edna Held. Gertrude Luehrsen wills her grace at the piano to Donald Greer, while Rosamond Harms leaves some of her artistic ingenuity to her Sophomore cousin, Fern. Jim Peterson wills his “woman appeal” to a Freshman, Warren Huebner. Good for you, Warren! Ted Finnegan bequeaths his good looks to Herbie Hamburg. Herbie’s pretty good looking as he is! He’ll be a real dude after becoming Ted’s heir. Last of all, the entire Senior class bequeaths to the Junior class the feeling of sophistication which we as the highest classmen enjoyed this year. We bid adieu to R.H.S. with our thanks to Miss McAfee for her patience with us as our advisor for the last three years; to Miss Hart for her advice in our Publications, the Gleaner and W.P.A.; and to Mr. Normington and all the rest of the faculty for their part in bringing us where we are.
