Mr. Marshall was brought up in the city of Redgranite, Wisconsin and was educated at both Stevens Point Teachers College and the University of Wisconsin. For the past five years he has assisted our coach in helping the team attain its success, and has also aided the Hodag staff in its under- taking. To show our appreciation of his efforts, we leave to him our 1940 HODAG. 4 E have chosen to use a Circus as the theme for our annual this year. We have compared our high school life with that of a circus, for who is not familiar with the ever-popular parade, side-show, and three-ring perform- ance? We introduce the students and our' teachers as the performers and trainers, under guidance we students have worked and played each day in such rings as classes, extra-curricular activities, and social gatherings. Now as we Seniors leave these scenes of activities, which have been endeared to us by pleasant associations, it is our hope that each one will reveal himself as credit- ably in the wider fields of life as he has in our high school.

The one-room school of 1882 has been increased to seven buildings in 1940 and the one graduate of 1890 to one hundred sixty in 1940. Under the guidance of the boards of education, faculty members, and interested citizens of the community, the edu- cational factor has received recognition and prospered equally with other community interests. The educational, social, and economic life of the community during this period greatly benefited by those persons who were a positive influence, and much pride may be found in the hearts of those who played their part. We earnestly hope that the next fifty years will be even richer in its contribution to the welfare of all in this community. MR, H. C. WEINLICK, M.A. Pfinripal MR. W. F. KRUSCHKE, M.A. Superintendent '. l !! ' The Class of 1940, about ready to pass on its achievements to the Juniors, is to be commended on its excellent ability to convert the breaks of life into advantages. I have enjoyed helping this fine group o'f boys and girls through three years of high school work. There have been ups and downs, but if it were not for these unpredictable things, it would be hard for you to fit into the plan of life when you graduate. I hope your years of high school preparation have made you more conscious and more alert to what will be expected from you when you leave school. May good fortune and pros- perity always accompany you. Page 10 Mrs. Oscar Moen, Mrs. Mabel Carr, T. J. Patrinson, -I. M. Caldwell, R. J. Mueller, W. F.

Out of those 37, 19 were chosen for the preliminary squad to debate on this year's question which was: Resolved: That the Federal Government should own and operate the railroads. From October 15 to December 10, a series of round-robin debates were held. On December 12 the inter-school squads were selected. The Affirmative were: Joseph Owens, Duane Lader, Helen Hartlett, Marguerite Olson, Wally Elkon, and Betty Roeder. The Negative were: Gilbert Anderson, James Meyer, Betty Schuelke, Sidney Mogan, Robert Friz, Kenyon Moyer, Betty Oestriech, and Raeburn Reardon. There were five other squads in the conference. Our squad met Tomahawk twice, Clinton- ville once, Medford twice, Merrill twice, and Phillips once. On January 27 the final tournament team was selected: Affirmative Negative Joseph Owens Robert Friz Duane Lader Gilbert Anderson Helen Harrlett Raeburn Reardon At the Stevens Point meet on February 2, Rhinelander won all of its debates, defeating Mosinee, Adams-Friendship, Birnamwood, Medford, Redgranite, and Port Edwards. On February 16 this same tournament team took part in the Sectional Tournament at Stevens Point. Rhinelander High School owes a great deal to Mr. Froling for his fine work with the debaters and to the debaters for working so hard. Most of the debaters will be back next year to continue their work. Row 2: D. Beveridge, K. Guenther, R. Bastian, R. Mitchell, F. Meinecke, C. Zander, M. Hansen. Raw 1: A. Olson, K. Koppa, M.

It was directed by Miss Young. The plot in brief was as follows: At the Pine Tree Tavern in Boston, Samuel Adams met Paul Revere and other patriots to discuss the means of communicating with the Committees of Correspondence and furthering the cause of the Colonies in their struggle against encroachments by England. Martha Davy, comely, quick-witted, acted as secretary to Adams and secreted the correspondence from the Committees from 1773 to 1775. Richard Shirley, a British spy, and Captain Knox of the British army came to the inn to secure evidence against Adams and his confederates. Into the plot, too, came Dame Astra, and her daughter Constance, who sought a favorable marriage for the latter. Complications set in for Shirley when he fell in love with Martha and when upon being discovered by Constance taking,letters from Martha's cache, Constance demanded a price for keeping quiet: marriage with Shirley. When the time came for Captain Knox to expose Adams's intrigues against the crown, Shirley, who had grown lukewarm in England's cause, turned patriot and turned his information to use by the colonists. Martha and Shirley were reconciled. This play aimed at telling the events that lead to the Boston Tea Party and Paul Revere's Ride. The play, at the time of writing, was cast tentatively as follows: Theophilus Davy, the innkeeper. . . ............. .... R ussell Bastian Livy, his wife ................... ....

O 6 1 .OOO FOOTBALL REVIEW Rhinelander started the 1939 season with only one regular, Fritz Wells, back from last year's champion- ship team. Mr. Leksell and Mr. Marshall again formed the coaching staff. Dick Marks, a senior, was elected captain of the team and Richard Mueller and Robert Pospychala served as managers. A heavier, more experienced Wisconsin Rapids team defeated Rhinelander 13-0. The Hodags played exceptional ball the first half of the game. The light but fast Rhinelander line kept Rapids back in check for three quarters of the game. Rapids scored their first touchdown when Knutson went over from the 1-yard line. The try for the extra point was good and Rapids led 6-O. A few plays later Steinfeldt scored 48 Rapids' second touchdown on a 13-yard run around his own left end. Bad breaks spoiled several scoring chances for the Hodags. A fumble on a low pass from center ruined their first chance after they had worked the ball down to the 5-yard line. A bad pass that went way over the intended receiver's head, when he was wide open in the end zone, spoiled another chance for a score. An improved Rhinelander team won an exciting game from Merrill by the score of 14-13. Rhinelander went into the lead early in the first quarter when Poski took a lateral from Terzynski and raced 65 yards for a touchdown. Terzynski threw a short pass to Petta for the extra point. Merrill scored late in the second quarter after a 40-yard march. Silver scored from YY, the 1-yard line. He then place-kicked the extra point to tie up the game at the half. Behrens scored Merrill's second touchdown on a short pass from English. The try for a point was no good. Moeller, a. Rhinelander back, scored what proved to be the winning touchdown late in the fourth period. A pass from Terzynski to Poski for the extra point was good and gave the Hodags the game 14-13. A Rhinelander team that played good ball de- feated a vastly underrated Nekoosa team 6-O. The Hodags took the lead early in the second quarter when Terzynski went over from the 5-yard line. An attempted pass for the extra point was smeared when the whole right side of the Nekoosa line broke through. Danfield, who put on a one-man show all during the game, did some fancy punting to keep Nekoosa deep in its own territory most of the game. One punt was downed on the Nekoosa 1-yard line and another went out of bounds on the Nekoosa 4-yard line. With only two minutes left in the game Nekoosa gained control of the ball on the Rhinelander 25-yard line. They tried to score by using a passing attack. Three passes were knocked down and the game ended before Nekoosa could try another play. A Wausau team that did everything perfectly defeated Rhinelander 44-7. A few minutes after the opening kickoff, the outcome was apparent. Hirsch led the Wausau team in a series of line plays to give the Redbirds their first touchdown. Liljequist's place- kick for the extra point was good. Wausau kicked off but Rhinelander lost the ball on downs. Wausau scored again when Hirsch went around his own right end for 40 yards and a touchdown. Midway in the second period Wausau recovered a fumbled punt on the Hodags' 22. A short pass, Braatz to Hildensperger, was good for a touchdown. The try for the extra point went wide. Hirsch opened the second half for Wausau when he went around end for 27 yards and the touch- down. Wausau scored its sixth touchdown when Braatz went over from the 3-yard line. Krueger passed to Weinhauf for the last Wausau touchdown and he then passed to Liljequist for the extra point. Rhine- lander scored when Terzynski passed to Petta for the touchdown. Terzynski then passed to Jaroski for the extra point. A Rhinelander team that lacked the necessary scoring punch lost to Stevens Point by the score of 7-0. Three plays after the kickoff, the Hodags advanced the ball to the Point's 35 but they lost the ball when they fumbled. A few plays later Rhinelander brought the ball to the Point 10-yard line before they lost the ball on downs. Late in the second quarter the Hodags began another march going to Point's 12 before losing the ball on downs. Early in the third quarter Stevens Point marched to the Hodag 8-yard line and then a short pass was good for the touchdown, and what proved to be the winning score. Rhinelander defeated Marshfield 13-6 to make the homecoming game a success. Marshfield went into the lead late in the second quarter when a blocked punt rolled into the end zone where it was recovered by Gandt, a Marshfield end. The try for the extra point went wide. Midway in the third period a Marshfield fumble was recovered by Gandt, a Marshfield end. Midway in the third period a Marshfield fumble was recovered by Petta. A pass was ruled complete on the Marshfield 49-yard line because of interference. Dan- field went through tackle for 19 yards and a first down. Ioe Champeau, a freshman back, then went around right end for 30 yards and a touchdown. A pass play failed on the try for the extra point. Late in thefourth period Marshfield, apparently anxious to settle for a tie, attempted to stall. This strategy failed because they were forced to kick on fourth down with only 11 seconds left to play. The punt was downed on the Marshfield 35-yard line. Marks passed to Guenther for a 12-yard gain. The Hodags tried the same play again and it was good for 23 yards and a touchdown. Boyer's attempt from placement went wide. A fighting Rhinelander team lost to Antigo by the score of 19-0. Outweighed ten pounds to a man, the Hodags never had a chance to get started. Franz, Antigo fullback, scored their first touchdown on a line plunge. Fisher kicked the extra point to give Antigo a 7-0 lead. Later in the quarter a poor Rhinelander kick was downed on its own 10-yard line. A short shovel pass, Franz to Brandt, was good for Antigo's second touchdown. Fisner's kick'went wide. A lateral pass, Franz to Fisher, was good for 41 yards and a touchdown. Pepper, Hodag center, bIocked'the try for the extra point. The game ended a few plays later with Antigo in possession of the ball.

The game was close all the way and had to go into an extra period before it was decided in favor of the Hodags, 36 to 35. The Ironwood Red Devils came to Rhinelander to try to win their first game from the Hodags since the present series started between the two schools two years ago. They were unsuccessful, however, and the Hodags showed potential power in trouncing them 36 t0 21. You can't win every game you play, as the Hodags found out from Stevens Point in their second con- ference game. Rhinelander had a bad night of it and the snappy Pointers played smart ball all the way to win by a score of 35 to 28. This was the Hodags' first loss in 24 games, extending over a period of two years. Rhinelander played host to Nekoosa's scrappy little team and snowed them under 55 to 16. The game was never in doubt and after solving Nekoosa's puz- zling rotary offense, the Hodags scored almost at will. The Wausau Cardinals, supposedly the Big Boogy Man of the conference, found out that though the Hodags lost one, they were by no means a soft touch. The Wausau game was considered a crucial one, in that it would give an indication of how strong the Hodags were. It did and they did. The Hodags proved that they were still very much in the con- erence race by trampling Wausau's hopes 37 to 24. The game was the Hodags' last before the Christmas vacation. Playing their first game after the mid-term vaca- tion, the Hodags romped over Merrill to win by the decisive score of 40 to 18. Even though the Jays were playing on their home floor, they did not even come close and scored only 7 field goals during the whole game. The Hodags made a successful week out of it by trimming the Tomahawk Hatchets, at Tomahawk, by a score of 35 to 23. Due to the small size of the Toma- hawk gym the game was quite rough and it was only a 2nd period spurt which netted the Hodags 14 points while the Hatchets got only 3 which decided the game in their favor. Marshfield traveled to Rhinelander, intent upon continuing in its giant-killing role, having knocked off Stevens Point to give the Hodags a share of the lead the week before. The Hodags showed them who was boss and sent them home on the short end of a 35 to 27 score. The Hodags played host to Merrill after having trounced the Jays on their home floor on a previous occasion. After a landslide of points in the 2nd quarter, the game was never in doubt, ending 36 to 16 in favor of the Hodags. The Wausau Cardinals entertained the Hodags, and handed them sole possession of first place by virtue of the 38 to 32 defeat tagged on them by the Hodags. The game wasn't really as close as the score might indicate as the Cardinals made about 10 of their points in the last quarter against Hodag reserves. It seems that every time Rhinelander plays Antigo, a championship hangs in the balance. Such was the case when the two teams met for the first time of the season. Antigo was faced with the task of defeating the Hodags or allowing them to clinch their Fifth straight conference' championship. They did not pos- sess enough power, however, and yielded to their traditional rivals by a score of 46 to 25. For the second time in as many weeks the Rhine- lander Hodags clashed with the Antigo Ants, this time at Antigo. The outcome of this game was of no less importance than that of the game of the revious Week, in that a win would give the Hodags ungisputed possession of the championship. The Hodags won after a hard, close battle by a score of 27 to 17 and so re- mained the King-pin of the conference. The Rhinelander Hodags, champions of the Wis- consin Valley Conference, traveled all the way to Ironwood, Michigan, to show Ironwood, champions of the Northern Wisconsin-Michigan Conference, who was the toughest. The Hodags were, and not only won the game by a score of 47 to 32 but the approval of the crowd as well. To show their appreciation of the Hodags, a dance was tossed in their honor by Ironwood school officials. For the second time in a week the Hodags took on outside conference champions and put them in their places. This time it was Eagle River, winner of the Northern Lakes Conference Cham ionship. The ame was played at Rhinelander and endied 54 to 29 in favor of the host team. The Hodags played their last ame before the home crowd on March 1, and handec? the Tomahawk Hatchets a sound 50 to 22 trouncing. It was their final conference game and gave them a season's record of 11 wins and 1 loss in conference competition and 3 wins and no losses in non-conference competition. The Rhinelander Hodags played their first game in the Regional tournament at Antigo and defeated Withee by a 40 to 4 score. Playing in the second round of the Regional tournament, the Hodags handed Merrill a decisive 48 to 13 defeat and by so doing advanced to the finals. Antigo vs. Rhinelander always seems to decide a championship and it did so again in the final game of the Regional tournament. The game was too close all the way and an extra period had to be played before the Hodags won out 36 to 31. The Hodags opened their defense of the State High School Basketball Championship with a smashing 46 to 29 win over Delavan. The Hodags built up a big lead in the first half and then coasted in. Platteville eliminated the Hodags from the state tournament by a 31 to 29 score. The game was slow most of the way and Platteville won by the use of a stall. The Hodags have a Hve-year record of 84 wins and l . 9 osses Pa SC 55 THREE IRUNG GUREELS T I 'po :MIG MJQTKHEE f?iL.9?zI?'TIiSS' QQ t ',gf'b 5 - F Q' A SECOND RING: PLA YTIME 1. Come and Get It! 4.

During the year we gave a Barn Dance. Not so much was done by us, for we were just getting a start in our high school career. The following year we entered as Sophomores in the Senior High School. Bill Stubbs was our leader. Our big event of the year was the Sopho- more party. The party was carried out with the circus theme, the walls being decorated with various animals in cages and funny little clowns. The popular fad at that time, the Dutch Treat Style, was carried out. This was the first time this idea had been used at school parties and it really proved quite entertaining. Vacation came and rolled by and before we knew it, it was time for us to go back to school and enroll in our Junior year of work. That year Madeleine Hansen was our president. Two im- portant events took place in our junior year. The first was out class play, a delightful comedy, Life Begins at Sixteen. The play was very well at- tended and is to be long remembered. Although our play was truly swell, the crowning event of the year was really our Junior Prom. The theme of the Prom was Anchors Aweigh - and the gym was cleverly decorated with whales swimming in the sea, boats, and sailors. A large boat was pro- vided for the orchestra. Our pretty Prom Queen was Esther Schmelling and our handsome Prom King, Ray Terzynski. Our Prom was termed one of the best ever to be given. Another vacation rolled by and again we entered high school, but this time as brave Seniors. Our able leader for this year was Anne Olson. We gave the first party of the year, The Senior High Get-Together. A second party, a Snow Frolic, was given after Christmas. Another interesting event was the basketball tournament at Antigo. The regulars on the team were all seniors and displayed some fine ball play- ing. Our team won the regional tournament and thereby obtained another trophy for the expected trophy case for the Rhinelander High School. During the year we presented a class play called A Voice in the Dark. This year was a busy one for us. We had to arrange for commencement and class day exercises. Now that we are graduating and preparing to go out on a new sea of life, we leave all our happy days at Senior High School behind us, but there will remain with us always those fond memories of high school days.

' CLASS of '40 WITNESSES: Anne Olson Betty Rolain Dorothy Lawrence Page 66 CLASS PROPHECY In the year of 1950, as we entered one of the greatest attractions of all circuses, the fortune- telling booth, we noticed a turbaned Hindu who was seated at a small, curtained table. Each arrival experienced a new kind of feeling-one of vague uneasiness-for our surroundings were very strange to us. The room was illuminated by a light which we could not seeg dark, heavy draperies hung on the silent walls and we saw a mysterious, round crystal ball in front of the Hindu. You are very brave, my friends, the Hindu murmured. That is why the crystal is so clear tonight. As we moved forward and peered into the ball, we saw everything we had wanted to know when we first came in. Here is what the magic ball predicted: Beulah Arnott, Fanchon Hayes and Adeline Janke are owners and operators of The Bang 'Em and Bob 'Em Beauty Salon. Dorothy Beveridge is head cashier in the First National Bank at Harshaw. Bev always did know how to handle money-remember Business Manager of the '40 Hodag? Mildred Belanger is assistant teacher of book- keeping at the Toonerville Business College. Patrick Davis-Pat's now teaching United States History in the local high school. Chuck Fell now owns and operates The Fell and Rose Again Bowling Alleys. Walt Soren- son, James Stokes, and George Poskie are pin- setters. Esther Gnat and Phil Vielmetti's The Bigger They Come, The Harder They Fall Roller Rink is running close competition with Ma and Pa's Coliseum. John Lawson- Johnnie trouped for several years with Barnum and Bailey but he is now calling for Philip Morris. Mary Redfield-Wells, wells, Mary is the scooper-upper for The Tatler at Pelican Lake. Contrary to popular opinion Dick Mueller has become a great mathematician and is now working on the weighty problem of how many times a day one would have to eat in order not to be hungry. Betty Olson and Lucille Pecore are proprietors of a candy Shoppe specializing in Finklestein's peanut brittle. Don Michie- Don has taken over Don Ameche's contract with RKO. Don always wanted to be an actor. Ray Chariton is a salesman for the Camels Company. Joe Sum is now Father Sum and is in charge of a congregation at Summit Lake.
