And we have found, in our explorations, that real true American history is personified in the building of our own Ripon. The stories are both historical and interesting. In our WE? v . fr , i A ia. search, we have stopped to reminisce and wonder, and we cannot help but contrast --the old days of hoop skirts, muddy, bumpy Watson street, no street lights- again, a beautiful new Post Ofice, Rolls Royce cars whirring along the well-paved streets, and a happy community. Ripon hails as her fatherfmother, David Mapes, a man of rare virtuesf He was born in New York state in 1798, and proved himself an influential citizen in his own state, but he found a lure, an attracf tion, in the developing West, that was not to be overlooked. Being a man of inxdom- itable energy and perseverance, and of a nature to fraternize easily with his fellow' men, he made, as a valuable outlet to his ambitions, plans for the founding of a city. He came with his small band of followers in or about the year 1843, coming through Racine and Milwaukee, searching for the ideal spot their imagination had created. After trials and disappointments they arrived at the spot now called Ceresco and, Nine to quote David Mapes himself, shouted with one accord. This is the spot! But they were to be disappointed onceagain. AThey found upon attempting to enter a tract of land with the registrar at the Land Office at Green Bay that a wide'awake crowd, calling themselves the Wisconsin Phalanx, under the Presidency of Warren Chase, had entered for themselves the pre- ceding year, about a thousand acres of the land they so coveted. The newcomers therefore set to work to farming the excellent fertile soil to the east, and iitting themselves for the coming win' ter, while they observed with interest the doings of their neighbors the Fourierites, or Wisconsin Phalanxers. Mapes found they were members of a sort of joint stock com' pany, practicing the boctrines of Charles Fourier, a Frenchman, who was a Com- munist, hence they were called the Four' ierites. The Company comprised about two hundred in all, and Mapes found many of their activities came as strong competif tion to his plans. They lived in two long houses, one of which still stands, known to us as the Long House. Each provided his share either in capital or labor, and drew from the general fund in proportion to his share. Each man was charged a very small fee for board, amounting to about 63 cents a week. In 1846, the Phalanx was at its height, all was running harmoniously and smoothly, far surpassing any other experiments in that H -'J u, ,Q i The Tiger, 1926 , Home of Spiritualistic Colony in Ceresco Organized in 1850 line tried in this country. But later the high moral and religious tension, which had produced the beautifully harmonious state of a few years before, had begun to relax and slowly but surely the colony began to drop apart. Outside influences were felt and some of the members who took up the new ideas were deposed. In 1847, exploiters of the Spiritualistic movement, which was to be felt through' out the country, persuaded Warreii B. Chase to their beliefs, and on his becoming a convert he was deposed from the presi- dency of the Fourierite Colony. He was succeeded by Benjamin Wright, but al- though Chase still wrote stirring articles in favor of the Colony, they soon became a very weak and irresolute lot, when in 1849 Colonel Mapes, the proprietor of the new settlement on the hill east of the colony, swooped down with a Postmaster's commisf sion from President Taylor in his pocket and bore away the mail bags and other insignia of office, heretofore belonging to the Phal-' anx, there was very little protest made. Mr. Mapes found that with the new land came new conditions and provisions. The Ten provisions were-that within a year's time, he should have built and in running order a public house and grist mill, and that the hotels should be kept open by Mr. Mapes personally. As an induction to settlers, Mr. Mapes gave away lots, upon the condition that recipients should make certain im' provements or erect specified buildings bef fore a given time. The very first building put up in Ripon was the Pedrick home, erected about where the Northwestern depot now stands. In comparison with thc present Pedrick home on Watsrmii street, the space was quite limf ited, it being a 12 by 24 foot frame build- ing. Ripon's very first store, owned by E, L. Northrup, was opened on the east side of a square of land situated slightly to the north' east of the hill. Mr. Pedrick, grandfather of Sam Pedrick, followed closely with a two' story building and blacksmith shop. Sever' al dry goods stores were built in the follow' ing year by Jed Bowen and Samuel Sum' ner. Shepard's Hotel was an added feature and a Mr. Taggert opened a hardware shop. vmziii The Tiger, 1926 1861-An old drawing taken from the east side of the Square To Alvin Bovay goes the honor of being the first lawyer in Ripon, his practice start' in 1850. Perhaps if Sam Pedrick or Roy Reed were to go through his library they would meet with surprising facts. ' David Greenway began a grocery husif ness, along with a drug store, which later came into the hands of Mr. Wilsoxi. After 1850, Ripon possessing stores, population and good advantages, grew rapidly. The stores found themselves advantageously sit- uated, with more being added as time went on. In relation to the presentfday arrange' ment of stores, Jeebediah Bowen's Merchan' dise Store was located on the northwest corner of the Public Square, about where Mrs. Kingsbury's music store now is. Pet' tibone's, a general store, was the predeces- sor of the Matticeffioster Company. Most of the lumber used in the construction of these offices and stores was sawed at Strong's Mill in Ceresco. Of course, during all of this time, the town Ceresco was entirely separate from Ripon. The two towns were located, one on either side of the hill. Ceresco had flourished for several years before the con- struction of Ripon began. Ceresco had been so named in honor of Ceres, the God' des of Agriculture, who smiled so benign' ly on the countryside surrounding Ripon. There was plenty of good, rich loam and water was plentiful, as Silver Creek, then almost a river, wound its way through the country. In the early '5Ols, we lind an increasingly interested attitude toward Spiritualism. As was mentioned before, Warren Chase was Eleven The Tiger, 1926 -ffl t?5'6Ql' .

All of the buildings at the right were burned in the fire of 1882. the ringleader in interest. The Dodges, Hastings, Hills and several other families held their private seances to communicate with their departed friends. Interest ran so high that on one occasion a man building a new residence on the hill on East Fond du Lac Street, directly across from the present high school, was informed at one of the neighborhood gatherings, by solicitous def parted dear ones that there was a considf erable sum of money hidden on the premf ises. Very specific directions were given, and the following day a search was made -several holes were dug in search of the hidden mint, but ultimate disappointment was his. The money was never found. Although the people of Ceresco and Ri' pon did not mingle a great deal, the Spiritualistic interest brought a good many together. As people moved away and no marvelous iresults were gained, interest gradually slackened. VV'arren Chase later moved to St. Louis where he continued his research work, running a book store in conf nection with it. In the meantime, in 1854 there was high indignation over the passing of the Kansas' Nebraska bill. Andrew Bovay, the lawyer, with Jebdiah Bowen as a close ally, was chief among those to read the bill as a men' ace to antifslavery forces. The two started propaganda and headed a new movement which soon resulted in dehnite action. Meet- ings were held in the small church on the hill. This tiny building has since developed into the Congregational church of today, which in November of last year celebrated its Diamond jubilee. The meetings were attended by both Whigs and Democrats, and it appears, was both lively and interest' ing-too interesting, in fact, for it was def clared no such meeting could again be held within the church. In these exciting meetings, the kernel of a new political movement was started. The Whig and Tory elements merged in their ideas. Andrew Bovay suggested that a new party be formed, and that its name be Re- publicanf' He made a trip to New York, interviewing Horace Greeley, the famous Twelve Q . . xff? ,ya 'Six , .

The historic building, the school housc, which fostered within its walls the birth of the Republican party, has been moved from its original site and stands unpretentiously in one corner of the lower college campus as a milestone in the history of politics- and Ripon. A number of years previous, in 1851, cit- izens made a movement to found an educaf tional institution of high order. Money for the purpose was liberally furnished by citif zens of Ripon and surrounding vicinity, considering their limited resources. Those who had no money gave willingly in matc- rial and labor. When the building was still unfinished, their scanty means were exhausted and the aid of a religious denomination in the enter' prise was solicited. A convention was held, and its support was promised as soon as suf- ficient money could be raised for the pur- pose. Rev. Walcott of Menasha personal' ly aided the convention in its undertaking. It was decided that the person who sub' scribed the most should have the honor of having the college named after him. It was called Brockway College, for Mr. Brock' way. There were but two buildings, Smith College and East College. In 1861, college was forcibly closed by the enlistment of a great many of the stu' dents in the army. The college grounds were leased to the government for a camp and were occupied by the First Regiment of Wiscoiisiii Cavalry. The attendance rallied in 1862, and so a permanent faculty was engaged. 1863 saw it formally recognized as a college-hereto' fore it had been really only a high school, or academy. In its first collegiate year its debts were wholly paid. Later some amend' ments to the charter were made, granting additional privileges and changing its name to L'Ripon College. In 1866, it had outgrown its accommodations, and West College was added-a larger, better build' ing than the others. The hand of David Mapes has been evidenced through its start and development. After the college, came the railroad, giv' Thirteen The Tiger, 1926 ,eggs :ii AWP-'A 1870-The east side of the square. The first building at the right was torn down to make room for the First National Bank. ing Ripon communication by rail with Mil- waukee-only two years later than Fond du Lac. Berlin, Ripon and Waiipun worked together in the establishment of railroad connections, Ripon's share costing about S130,000 in cash, mortgages and town bonds. The last bills were fully paid in 1880. Ripon's first depot was an old box car. During all this time there were two dis- tinct villages, Ripon and Ceresco. With the decline of the Spiriutlaistic and Fourier' ite colonies, Ceresco was not able to continf ue in good strength. Consequently, with the approval of both, Ripon and Ceresco were consolidated in 1853 and the resultant Ripon was incorporated- in 1858. The Booth war is an interesting light on the political situation directly preceding the war. Sherman M. Booth, editor of the Free Democrat in Milwaukee, freed a ne' fro from jail and helped him to escape. Booth was imprisoned for one year and lined severely. The United Etates had no prison in the state, but the Custom House at Milf waukee detained him there until he could pay his fine. Loyal sympathizers from Ripon conceived a plan to free him. A conspiracy was formed and by forged pa' pers to the warden, admission to the prison was obtained and Booth was liberated. He was finally conveyed to Ripon, where he gave two speeches, one in the old City Hall and the other in a grove now known as Bowen's Woods, at the west end of Thorn street. A United States marshal came to capture and arrest him--he was staying at the Mapes House and sauntered forth from there to the grove to make his arrest. The entire audience arose as a mob to protect Booth and threatened to kill Mar' shal McCarthy. He was seized and thrown down, followed by the crowd, and returned to the Mapes house in considerably more of a hurry than he had started. Booth went to Berlin, protected, and gave a stirring address, and unfortunately for him, his only escorts from the meeting there were a trio of ladies who did not prove sufficient. He was successfully ap' prehended by the marshal and returned to the Milwaukee jail. Fourteen e 5 yo -.Wlrix g ,' s I X Tm: The Tiger, 1926 . .21 .... , Q., .

The College gave its support, as did the townspeople. Much was done dur- ing the war, although the aid could not, of course, compare to that in the World war. A scene that shows the terrible anx- iety took place in the post office when that building was kept open on winter nights often until three in the morning, during those heart-rending years from 1861 to '65, The post office lobby was crowded with people day and night, people who weer awaiting Hrst news of friends and relatives fighting at Vicksburg and Gettysburg. Of the hundreds from Ripon who volunteered in the service of the North, only a few re- main to remember those stirring times of long ago. After the war, the progress of Ripon was slow but sure. Slowly the village ex-, panded in size. Woodeii sidewalks and hitching posts adorned the main street and the square. Here and there, murky oil lamps cast feeble rays of light on the mud- dy streets. Gradually, however, succeeding modern improvements transformed the streets and the entire community. In 1875 a chemical fire engine was bought for the sum of 52500. Compared to our engine of today, with its shining trappings, it would be a modest affair, but then it repre- sented a truly stupendous expenditure. Hazen R. Hill was Ripon's first fire chief. For gallant service at the great iire in Osh- kosh in 1876, the company received two sil- ver trumpets. The gas works have never been moved. lt was erected in 1872 on the same spot it now occupies. The rates for the city were S30 per annum for each lamp post. There were hotels from the beginning. David Mapes, you will remember, ran the first.. Later his hotel was rebuilt, on the site of the present Hotel Leroy. At the north end of the square was constructed NVood's Hotel,'i a very pretentious struc- ture, dominating the street. With the ex- ception of a new porch, it has been changed very little during the passing years. Now, of course, its name is Grand View. Religion has always played a very impor- tant role in the history of Ripon. In 1851 - Fifteen The Tiger, 1926 X E- s .--5 1875--Looking across the Northwestern R. R. tracks on Oshkosh Street. the Congregational church was the only one, the Methodist following closely in 1852. Later came the two Lutheran, an Episcopal, a Catholic and a Baptist church. All sites were the same as the present day, with the exception of the St. Patrick's Catholic church, which has been moved from Osh- kosh to Blossom streets very recently. There were a number of exchanges in the relocating of buildings, especially of the banks. The First National Bank was sit' uated originally on tho west side of the square, at about the present location of the American National Bank. It moved to its present place on the Square in 1909. A few years after the First National Bank had been built on the west side of the Square, the German National, which is now the American National Bank, was built next door. A There were a great many secret organi' zations, perhaps more than there are today. The building which housed one of these, the Masonic Temple, located at that time 1380-Showing stage coach on the Square Sixteen 575' .iixliik W , 1-.

Not only was the Temple burned, but an entireubusi- ness block was wiped out by flames. This, perhaps, was Ripon's greatest, most disas' trous fire. In one of the pictures may be seen the ruins et the Temple, which was a substantial threefstory building, a real cred' it to the town. The Roller Mills, operated at present by H. O. Nash, was a growing concern :in '69. The Scott street dam was improved and better water power facilities obtained, giving his work a larger held. It is rather notable that products of Roller Mills were shipped continuously to England and Scot' land. There were other planing and grist mills of lesser importance. The planing mill on E. Fond du Lac St. stood -:lirectly op' posite our school building. It was operated by A. Laning Es? Song it has been torn down and replaced by residences, as the residen' tial section has grown.

There perhaps has been no serious lirc, with the exception of Kohl's Hardware store, since the east side of Main street from the Square to Blossom street were burned. The loss then was about 530,000 Compare it with what the loss would be now in the same territory. In 1888 Ripon had as fine a high school building as many towns its size now' have.

Six years ago, this coming fall term, the senior of today, some gladly, some perhaps a little less gladly began their second' dary education. Many. no doubt, considf ered the climb upward rather wearisome, others, fewer maybe viewed the new vistas of learning with pleasure. V , f- s New fields were opened to their minds, new fields to be explored, fascinating sub' jects to enveigle the mind to work, books, more books, new responsibiilties. Coming from the four smaller schools to this cenf tral house of learning, a new social life begins. Well begun is a wise adage. Uur first class party was a splendid beginning for that team work which invariably forms the background for all activities, class room, parties, and the field. The class of 1926 is above the usual run of classes having dug just a little deeper into the wells of learning, having formed the foundation on which the Student Counf the Senior Class S cil is founded, contributed generously to the athletics of the school and added to the aspect of the Alma Mater in the various visible ways. All in all, they have shown splendid team work which has been largely responsible for the market success attained by them. To crown the year's athletic successes, we placed six seniors on the football team who held up their end remarkably. Their absence will be keenly felt by the next year's team. Two seniors played on the championship team and two subs also conf tributed to uphold the high school standard on the basketball floor. Vvfith so conspicuous a beginning and ending, the class may well proceed, some to try their prowess in the business world, some to join the increasing university and college crowds. In whatever field of endeavor, their future energies lic, their success or failure might be measured by the amount of knowledge assimilated, by the extent of good principles inculcated during thcs: sec' ondary years. f up F ' 5 'GHi9fi:i - E tafeesf gsfj l l Fort y-three 'The Tiger, 1926 NL 'a :f.,,. I. l 1 Safety URING the last few weeks of and ref school, the warning minder, Safety First,' was em- blazoned on telephone poles f and billboards, printed in star' calling the public to witness Q ' ,,. 4 W1 ' In -eg, ing letters, jack Montgomerys tangled domestic aff fairs. Safety First is the future motto of young jack Montgomery and Jerry .Arnold -a creed culled from hard, bitter experi- ence. jack and jerry are caught by the police in the office of Zuleika, a Turkish fortune teller, whom they are endeavoring to dissuade from marrying Elmer Flannel, jacks cousin. They resist arrest, escape and hide :in a box car all night. The following day they return to the Mfontgomery home, where they are appref hended by the police and arrested. They are to spend a month in jail. In an effort to explain their absence of the night before and of the coming month, to Mabel, Jack's wife and to jerry's iiancee, Virginia, they become deeply entangled in lies. Finally it is accepted that they had been initiated into First a secret order and were to go on a eonvenf tion to Florida. During the following month Mabel receives word that they have been drowned. They go in mourning. In the midst of it, Jack and jerry return. Their explaantions are ludicrous. The detectives affection for Mary Ann, the maid, and .Abou Ben Mocha, who is continually hunt' ing for Zuleika, filled with ferocity and seeking revenge on her abductors, is very cleverly worked in the plot. Mrs. Barringf tonfBridger furnishes good opposition, but finally all is explained and everything turns out happily. The cast is as follows: jack Montgomery ....................

Due to candy sales, two dances, and l a very successful Junior class play, they have had plenty of money to do a lot toward the best Prom ever given by a junior class. ' XO' Qisqjl E W Besides the threefact play, The Impor- tance of Being Earnest, the Juniors enter' tained a Friday assembly with Enter the Hero, and Shanxi They also put on an- other assembly program which everyone seemed to enjoy. I As a part of the committee which sponf sored the carnival, the Juniors put on several unusual stunts. In fact, one of the most exclusive members of the class took a very important part in the freak show - proving that all talent did best in the Jun- ior class of Z7. The junior Prom was held this year at Sherwood Forest Hotel, where other wor- thy Seniors of past years have been so graf ciously entertained. About one hundred and thirty gaily dressed maidens and exquif sitely tailored young men tripped the light fantastic toe' to the alluring jaz of the Um' breit Collegians. They ate a dainty five- course dinner in a Japanese tea'room. Then, after the inevitable afterfdinner speeches, Eddie Warzinski entertained us with a charming exhibition of the Charleston.

'QL A, 1 better one in pep and also We have already made a niche in the great ladder of fame as being a peppy class. We rank in scholastic standing and are showing a great number of good athletes. The Sophomores are represented in Foot' ball, Basketball and Track. ln football three Sophomores showed their ability. They were Henry Sterlin' ske, Carl Jess and john Fischer. Then came basketball. One Sophomore became one of the live champions of the I f - Lois Anxms GORDON DEMOND GLADYCE WAGNER Little Ten Conference. That was Henry Sterlinske. We were also represented in- girls' bas' ketball. Members of our grade receiving letters were ,lane Beach, Doris Riggs and Lois Adkins. The Freshmen were surprised to receive an invitation to a party October 2, 1925. This was an iintiation party, the first of its kind. It was a huge success. Our class party was held April 16, 1926, in the high school gym. The gym was prettily decorated in blue and white. Now at the close of a hard but enjoyable school year, I can simply say we are doing our best in making R.H.S. a better school. -The Sophomore President.

I vc The Sophomore class has the honor of winning the forensic cup, presented for the first time this year. The contest which ref sulted in the capturing of the trophy by the Sophomores, has been instituted as an an' nual inter-ciass event between Sophomores and juniors. Its purpose is the training of every stu- dent in platform speaking. Three phases of the work, debate, oratory and declaniaf tion, were accewible to the Juniors and Sophomores. Under the direction of Mr. Lucck and after his departure, of Mr. Giessel, the conf tests were held twice a week. At each prof gram the Sophomores were matched against the Juniors, places being given to the three best. First honors merited five points, sec- ond, three, and third, one. The Sophomores swamped the juniors, winning a total of 127 points as compared to the 17 of their opponents.

Many of the members of this class took f VlRGlNl,N ZIMMERMAN f IVIARJORIE MILLER NYLE FORTNUM part in the social organizations of the school. The Glee Club was fortunate in having many of the Freshman girls in their group. Many of the ninth grade pupils enjoy studying about Audubon, and have helped to make that club one of the livest in Ripon High School.

Vv'e also secured a heautif ful large and tapering Christmas tree, which was placed in the center of the room. The baskets were decorated whiteg from one of them hung a spray of mistletoe which was secretly changed during the dancing. We spent a very delightful eveing doing stunts, playing a sort of game which ex- tended throughout the evening. Refresh- ments came at an interval during the danc- ing and then we danced again. Last, but not least, I must say something about the championship the eighth grade boys won in basketball over the seventh and ninth grades. Our boys were divided into groups of lightweights and heavyweights, and :it was the heavyweights who won.

It was in the form of a costume party and each one had a good time. Mr. Hoff- man announced it as a very good one and he has seen many. During the class basketball tournament the Seventh grade Calthough we did not get a high placej showed up as well as could be expected. The division of teams by weight made some difference also. But f f IRA HUTCHISON VILO FORTNUM BETTY BEACH MURIEL GATZKE the heavy team did give the Eighth Grad' ers a beating. We take a part in a majority of the asf sembly programs which are held every Fri' day. The girls have an Athletic club in which they play baseball, basketball and have hikes. There are members of the Au- dubon society from this grade and two offi- cers. The treasury was a little slim, but a can' dy sale held in the hall brought it up to normal. The members of the Student Coun- cil from the Seventh Grade have all done their part to get student control in their grade. -The President.

It is not difficult to see that the student council is one of our numerous accomplish' ments to point out as a step of our school to the front to take our just place with othf er schools in matters not only of discipline, but in social events and a more cooperative spirit. A few years ago when the student council was voted on, it was rejected by a large majority, but Mr. Rock's foresight saw that it was the best thing to do so he installed it. Even this year, it started out with a great many opponents, but we have gone on with the hope of gaining more converts by some of the good things we epected to do and all of us surely hope that we have.

For example, the social com' mittee has made possible the social hours every Friday and Margaret Steele with the help of the council has been almost wholly' responsible for the programs each Friday which all of you have enjoyed, But not all of the work on the council is play because there are always some who have to abuse the privileges which have been granted them and consequently we have to deal with them, too. That is where we manufacture a great many ene mies for the council because they are not far sighted enough to see that it is for their own good. It is not a pleasure to take these things into our hands, but it will be necessary to as long as there is a student council and as long as there are those who will take advantage of the extended privf ileges which the council grants to them. Whatever your opinion is of the student council, with a momentfs reflection you will have to agree that it is not a detriment but rather a help because you can not argue against statistics.

I have observed that a reader seldom pcruscs at book with pleasure till he knows whether the writer of it he a black or fair man, of a mild or choleric disposition, mar' ried or a bachelor, with other particulars of the like nature, that conduces very much to the right understanding of an author. -Addison from The Spectators Club in London in the Sir Roger de Coverley pa- pers. The life history of the present Spectator is as interesting as the history of the Specta- tor edited by Steele and Addison. It is in- teresting to know that Ye Spectator of Ripon High School first saw the light of day in 1916 and was immediately christened The Spectator by its fond founders in honor of its ancient predecessor, The Spec' tator of Queen Anne's age. Cur present paper flourished and grew -proving that hereditary influences extend down through many generations. At Hrst it was edited in the form of a booklet, takf ing the place of an annual and the next year the Tiger was ushered into this world. After this wonderful event, the Spectator was changed to a mimeograph paper. In 1922 the paper blossomed forth as it full flown newspaper and since then has been printed in a set form.

They even carried their support and pep to the Berlin game. The band made its first formal debut this year. It was highly successful in its amaf teur program. It rendered snappy marches 1 iii? and classical selections in an admirable way. The programs which were given this year are deserving of the praise they received for many hours of practice were required. The band was handicapped the latter part of this year by losing its leader. Mr. Lueck's services were indispensable to the band. Without his leadership the band could not appear. Mr. Lueck deserves much of the credit for the band.

The objects of its members shall be to learn all they can about the wild birds and to try to save them from being wan' tonly killed. The oflicers consist of a president, secretary, treasurer, and Student Council Representative. The annual fees are ten cents for each member, and the money is sent to the National Association of Audubon Societies in exchange for edu- cational leaflets and Audubon buttons. It - 1 MARGARET DYSART f MARY ,Com Lewis HUNOLD f Miss KOMMERS is the club's aim to have a meeting each month. At these meetings readings are giv' en on birds, by the numerous members. Much interest is displayed when each mem- ber tries to be the first one to report a cer- tain bird when it appears here in the early spring. On Friday, May 14, 1927, the Audubon Club gave its annual program in the high school auditorium under the able supervif sion of Miss Kommers, the adviser of the club. Many interesting facts in connection with the Audubon association were told and also many readings and recitations about birds were given. --The President of Audubon.

The cjaculations and excitement were worth whileg each Friday an ecellent program was given. The Student Council was responsible for the sponsoring of the hour programs. Under the direction of Chairman Marguerite Steele the committee did its efficient work in fur' nishing entertainment for the student hody. Each class and organization in the school fostered a program. Sometimes, these ref sulted in the unearthing of hidden talent or the discovery of a new humorist or song' ster. Often clever, original skits were pre- sented. Several groups, under the direction of faculty advisers, presented plays of unusf ual merit. The outstanding program of the year was the two hour program given at Christ' mas, which represented a weaith of costume :ing and preparation. The Seniors, follow' ing the Ripon High School tradition, gate this program. Besides the many interesting student pro' grams given by the classes and cluhs, out' side talent was engaged for several occaf sions. Especially interesting among these were the magicianis stunts and the illustrat- ed chalk talk hy Rev. Cloud. Talent from Ripon College was utilized on several oc' casions. Townspeople helped to furnish iii' teresting entertainment, and occasionally an outfofftown visitor contributed to the pleas' ant Friday afternoon hour.

The Tiger, 1926 LuNnE Ox.soN Lunde, Football Coach e :jQi OACH Lunde took charge of the football aspirants in Sep' fn fr ft' L Q54 tember and developed a fight- ik fi' ing team that did credit to the Crange and black. About twentyffour fellows answered the call for iootball pracf tice and finally Coach Lunde cut the squad down to twelve or thirteen gridders, who were to wear the colors of Ripon High School throughout the season. Coach Lunde can well be proud of the fact that he produced an eleven from a group of mediocre players that defeated Waylaxid Academy. This is a feat that was never before accomplished by a Ripon High School team. Through his untiring cforts and valuable experience, which he gained at Ripon College, the Orange and Black was capably represented on the football gridiron. Ripon High School may consider herself very lucky indeed to have such a capable coach and one who is not afraid to give all of the aspiring football candidates his val' uablc experience. 'Ripon High School can look for a greater season next year, with Coach Lunde back at the helm.

AL But this had no effect on the - excellent showing he made with the 1926 Orange and Black quintetg in fact, it serves as a boost for him, when he guided the team through the season to the Little Ten conference basketball chamf pionship. It only proves further that Coach Olson's ability and experience are far above the ordinary, and Ripon High School is very grateful to have the opportunity to em- ploy a coach of his calibre. Not content with winning the highest laurels possible in basketball, Coach Olson took charge of track and by his careful guidance and 'under his capable coaching, he brought the lLittle Ten conference Cham' pionship in track to Ripon High School. It is needless to say that two championships in oneqyear under the guidance of the same coach is a record that is unequalled by any High School coach of the ordinary caliber. Mr. Clson is certainly deserving of all the credit and honors that can be bestowed upon him, in behalf of his untiring efforts in the interests of the Orange andIBlaek.

Q .: ff, , scientious and intensive prac- I tice our brave Orange and FQ Q-70 1' black football warriors jour- , g Pd: i . . fl- -f neycd to the Fountain City to do battle with our rivals, Fondy. It was ideal football weather with a stiff breeze in with it. The game started with Fondy kicking off to us and after several unsuccess- ful attempts to pierce their line Klemp boot- ed a high punt to Fondy's twenty yard line. Fond du Lac gained about twelve yards around our left end and easily made their downs. However, our gridders made a des- perate stand on the fortyffive yard line and took the ball from them. We gained con' siderable yardage and penetrated to Fondy's 25 yard line. The Fountain City warriors took the ball and steadily marched down LAC GAME the field to our own '2'5fyard line. Our line braced here and held for two downs, but on the next play Fondy took the ball over on a long sweeping end run. The second quarter found both teams playing a very cautious game with the ball seesawing back and forth in mid-field. The half ended with the score 6 to O in favor of Fond du Lac. The third quarter opened with Ripon kicking off to the Red and White and Man- is returned it for '25 yards. On the next three downs Fondy made only seven yards and were forced to punt. .less returned it for fifteen yards and by long end runs and offftackle plays we carried the ball to their ten yard line. This was our golden chance and the only time we ever threatened their goal during the entire game. But the hand Sixty- two 1 ', is ' 'SM The Tiger, 1926 of fate ruled that we should go no far' ther as on the next play Wagner fumbled the ball and Fondy recovered, The Red and White then worked the ball down the field with Hutchins and Hanson bearing the brunt of the attack. Although our iight- ing warriors made a desperate attempt they could not stop them and they put over an- other touchdown, the second and last one of the game. Hutchins was successful in kicking for goal and the quarter ended with the score 13 to 0 in Fondy's favor. The fourth quarter was an exchange of punts between Klemp and 'Hanson with Klemp having the decidedgedge. The game ended with Ripon having ball on the 40 yard lin-: and Fond du Lac the winner. NEENAH GAME ' Undaunted by the defeat at the hands of Fondy, our Orange and Black gridders went to Neenah with renewed vigor and determination to defeat Neenah. The grid iron was extremely wet and muddy making good football impossible. Klemp kicked off and Schneller of Neenah returned it for ten yards. Neenah could not penetrate our line and Ripon took the ball on downs on the S0 yard line. We made our downs and worked the ball down to Neenah's 15 yard line by end runs and line smashes. Neenah braced here and took the ball on downs. With Stilp and Schneller doing the most of the attack they steadily marched down the field to a touchdown. Stilp kicked goal and thc score stood 7 to 0 in favor of Neenah. Shortly after the quarter was over and the second quarter opened with Neenah kicking off to Ripon. Chuck Jess ref turned it 12 yards with the help of perfect interference by Si Evans. Our Orange and Black gridders gained '20 yards and then Neenah took the ball on their own 40 yard line. Stilp was the big ground gainer as he received passes from Schneller for several good gains. The half ended with Neenah having the ball on the 60' yard line. Ripon kicked off to Neenah with Neuf bauer receiving and he returned it eight yards. Several end runs and forward passes gained only a few yards and Ripon took the ball on downs. Hank Gehrke gained several yards on an end run and Cutta' Klemp gained considerable ground on line smashes, But here our attack stopped as Pat XVagner fumbled on the play. Neenah recovered and by long passes and trick shoestring plays they put across the second touchdown with Stilp kicking goal. The score now stood 14 to 0 in favor of Neenah. Schneller, the Red and White's star tacf kle, kicked off to Ripon and Billie' Fischf er returned it 13 yards. Pat Waglier and Shuck Jess' passing combination worked exceedingly well as the quarter end' ed. The fourth quarter opened with Cub ta throwing passes to Heinie Sterlinske for substantial gains, but Stilp intercepted one and ran SS yards to another touchdown. Schneller kicked goal bringing the score to 21 to 0 in Neenah's favor. Shortly before the end, on a trick shoestring play the Red and Vvfhite shoved over the final touchdown but failed to kick goal and the game ended ?7 to 0 in their favor. Are we disheartf ened? Absolutely not! WAYLAND GAME With two defeats already chalked up against them and playing against a superior team in regard to weight, our Orange and Black football warriors went to Beaver Dam to do battle with our timefhonored rivals, Wayland. 'The weather was perfect for good football and the game started with Billie Fischer kicking off to Wayland. The Academy gridders returned it fifteen yards. The next few plays gained very Sixty-three The Tiger, 1926 ,Fe 2-. .a f4!':Es f . little and Ripon took the ball on downs. Chuck Jess was in the quarterback's po- sition and handled it admirably. Billie Fischer played a whale of a game at center and the work of Eddie Schneider at left tackle was superb. After completing several successful passes and end runs Ripon lost the ball on downs on the 40 yard line. Wayland Academy gained several yards on end runs, but fumbled. Shortly after Chuck jess recovered it and on the next play Ripon gained ten yards by a line smash by L'Hank' Gehrke. The next play put the ball on Wayland's 35 yard line and Outta kicked a pretty field goal. The score at the present time was 3 to 0 :in Ri- pon's favor. Wayland kicked olf to Ripon and we returned it ten yards. A series of line smashes and end runs agan placed the ball on Wayland's 30 yard line and Cutta Klemp booted another field goal. The score was 6 to 0 in favor of the Orange and Black. The first quarter ended shortly after with Wayland having the ball on the 60 yard line. - The second quarter opened with the Academy kicking oif to Ripon and Hank Gehrke returned it for ten yards. As Cut- ta was passing to Heinie Wayland in- tercepted it and scampered across the goa line for a touchdown. The Academy kicked goal and this put the score '7 to 6 in their favor. The half ended with Way- land possessing the ball on the 30 yard line. The third quarter saw the Orange and Black gridders determined to reverse the score to their advantage. Ripon kicked off to Wayland and they returned it 15 yards. Then came the mighty moment when Chuck jess scooped up a Wayland fum- ble on Ripon's goal line and raced the whole length of the field for a touchdown. Eddie Schneider and 'Sin Evans gave him perfect interference. Klemp booted a nice field goal and the score was 13 to 7 in Ripon's favor. The third quarter ended right after this thrilling event and the last quarter op- cncd with Wayland kicking off to Ripon. A pass was intercepted by NVayland and they brought the ball to Ripon's 25 yard line. They fought like tigers to overcome the six point lead Ripon had on them but their ef- forts were of no avail. The hectic game ended with Wayland having the ball on Ripon's 18 yard line. Ripon had defeated Vkfayland on their own field and by a deci- sive margin. This was a feat that never before had been accomplished by an Orange and Black football team. 1 . VVAUPUN GAME The game, though it had been scheduled for Saturday, was shifted to Friday because of the fact that Coach Shields of Waupun wanted to attend the La Crosse Normal homecoming. The game started, with Klemp kicking off to Mielke of Waupun, who threw a lateral pass to Ratzke. Wau- pun tried several end runs and line smashes, but gained only a few yards. Ri- pon took the ball and ripped off several sub- stantial gains with Hank Gehrke and Chuck Jess starring. A few minutes lat- er, however, Hank dislocated his shoul- der and Ray Eckert went in his place. Waupun braced here and held the Orange and Black for downs. Mielke, Waupun's flashy halfback, tore off big gains on end runs and finally crossed Ripon's goal line and was not successful on the kick for extra point. The score now was Waupun 6, Ripon 0. Shortly after the quarter was over, and the second quarter opened with Ripon re- ceiving the kick-off. Evans returned the punt 14 yards and on the next play Wagner made ll -yards around right end. The ex- cellent defensive work of Billie Fischer all through the game was very commenda- ble. Our Orange and Black gridders were successful in making four first downs and had the ball on Waupun's 20 yard line when the whistle ended the half. The third quarter opened with Waupun kicking to Ripon. Jess returned the punt Sixty-four . -ll Q 3 ' The Tiger, 1926 six yards. After two consecutive first downs the ball was on WHUPIIIIQS eight- yard line and on ihe following play Keinp went over for a touchdown. ine try for extra point failed as it was blocked. The score was 'then 6'to 6. The quarter ended as Klemp kicked off and Mielke returned it seven yards. The fourth quarter was all passing on thc part of both teams. After many incomplete passes by the Orange and Black Waupun finally intercepted one and placed the ball on Ripon's 15 yard line. On the third down Mielke threw a pass to Ratzke which was completed behind our goal line. The try for point after touch- down failed just as the game ended. Wari- put had defeated us 12 to 6. BEAVER DAM GAME A light snow storm during the week had given Ingalls field a very poor outlook for good fast football. But nevertheless the game was played on scheduled time and Klcmp kicked off to Beaver Dam. They returned it seven yards and completed two first downs. Shortly after Eckert intercept- ed a pass and sprinted to the 36 yard line before he was tackled. A few passes and end runs brought the ball to Beaver Darn's 15 yard line. A long pass from Klemp to Chuck ,less was completed and Chuck scampered over the goal line. Klemp kicked for the extraepoint and the score was 7 to ,O in Ripon's favor. The quarter end- ed here and the second quarter opened with Beaver Dam receiving the ball on a kick-off which they returned eight yards. On the next three plays Beaver Dam made 12 yards and a first down. Our line held on the 40 yard line and Ripon was given the ball on downs. The offensive was functioning per- fectly especially Hank' Gehrke. A series of end runs and line smashes placed the ball on the 30 yard line in position for a field goal. Klemp kicked a neat goal and that brought the score 10 to 0 in favor of the Orange and Black. Beaver Dam kicked off BERLIN Our time honored rivals from Berlin came with revenge in their hearts for last year's defeat. The game started under ideal football conditions with Ripon kick- ing off to Berlin and Hess returned for 12 yards. Berlin could not penetrate our stonewall line and Alberts was forced to to Ripon and we returned it 15 yards. By excellent offensive work Ripon worked the ball down to the 25 yard line. Here Klemp kicked another field goal and this left the score 13 to O. The half ended at this point and the third quarter started with Beaver Dam kicking off to Ripon and Gehrke returning it ten yards. The Orange and Black com- pleted two passes and on the following play as Eckert was plunging through the line he fumbled and Beaver Dam .recovered on the 25 yard line. After two big gains on end runs they pushed the oval across Ripon's goal line. They failed to kick goal. The score now was 13 to 6 in Ripon's favor. The four and last quarter was spent in pass- ing by both teams with Ripon completing the greater number of them. Beaver Dam had the ball on Ripon's 33 yard line and were in the act of throwing a pass when Outta intercepted it and ran the 'remain- ing 65 yards to Beaver Dam's goal line for a touchdown. The kick for extra point was successful and the game ended shortly after. The final score was 20 to 6 in favor of the Orange and Black. GAME punt. Jess received it and returned ten yards. On the next play Klemp made eight yards around left end. The next two plays brought 11 yards and first down. The Berlin line stiffened here and held for downs. A forward pass to Sanders from Davlin was good for 18 yards and the quar- Sixty-five The Tiger, 1926 NL':fl -arirg , . 1 ter ended as Berlin had the ball on our 47 yard line. The second quarter opened with Berlin punting to Ripon and Gehrke ref turned 10 yards. A pass from Klemp to Sterlinske was good for nine yards and an' other pass from Jess to Klemp was success' ful for ten yards. The Orange and Black had the ball on the Red and Greenls 26 yard line and Klemp dropped back and booted a neat field goal making the score, Ripon 3, Berlin 0. Ripon kicked off to Berlin and ,Alberts returned git for 10 yards just as the half ended. The third quarter ended with Hess of Berlin making ten yards around right end. The next play was a pass from Davlin to Sanders that was good for eight yards and the Red and Green had the ball on their 42 yard line. Davlin was thrown for a six yard loss on an end run and Ripon 'took the ball on downs. An end run by Pat Wagner netted six yards and a completed pass to Jess from Klemp brought the hall to the 201 yard line. But here the Berlin line braced and took the ball from Ripon on downs just as the quarter ended. The fourth quarter was fought entirely in the air by both teams. Berlin especially tri' pass after pass to no avail as they were either grounded or blocked hy the Orange and Black. A few minutes before the end of the game Berlin threatened our goal by passes but fortunately none were completed and the game ended with the score 3 to 0 :in favor of the Orange and Black. MAYVILLE GAME A Our Orange and Black gridders went to Mayville with but one objective and that to 0 defeat of the was to wipe out the 6 year before. The game started with Ripon kicking off -to Mayville and they returned it nine yards. Our line held for the next three downs and Ripon took the ball on downs. A pretty end run by Klemp placed the ball on Mayville's 30 yard line. Two downs only gained six yards and an attempt' ed place kick by Klemp failed by two feet. Mayville took the ball on the 20 yard line and gained first down by end runs. May' ville continued their march down the field for two more Hrst downs, but here our line held and took the ball on downs, A for' ward pass from Klemp to jess netted li yards and a second pass from jess to Sterlinf ske gained another ten yards placing the ball on Mayville's 27 yard line. The quarf ter ended here and the second quarter op' ened with Mayville fighting desperately de' fending its goal line from the Orange and Black. However, our victorious march was stopped on Mayville's 20 yard line when Gehrke fumbled and Mayville recovered. Mayville immediately punted out of dan' ger and Jess returned the kick eight yards. A variety of line smashes and end runs brought the ball to lvIayvillc's 28 yard line where another place kick by Klemp fell short by inches. The half ended with May' ville having the ball on the 20 yard line. The second half started with the Red and White desperately throwing passes with only two being completed. Gehrke inter- cepted a pass and brought the ball to the 30 yard line. The Mayville line held for downs and took the ball on the 25 yard line. Then they started a frantic drive down the field and completed four out of live passes for a total gain of 50 yards placing the ball on Ripon's 25 yard line. An attempted place kick failed by a hair's breadth and Ripon took the ball on the 20 yard line and Klemp booted a long punt to the 70 yard line. The third quarter ended here. The fourth quarter was a contest of kicking punts. Klemp had the decided advantage on exchange of kicks by at least 15 yards. Both teams resorted to passes, but very few if any were completed and the game ended with the Orange and Black in possession of the ball on the 65' yard line, and the score a. tie with Nlayville. Our record for the season was an even break, we won three and lost three, and were tied once. Sixty-six f rf' . The Tiger, 1926 WILLIAM FISCHER Billie CENTER Three 'LR's Capt. Billie Fischer was a tower of strength on the line, and he was the main cog of the whole defense, as well as the off fense. His powerful physique did not slow him up in the least, as he was very fast and shifty on his feet. His passing was faultless and furthermore he would often charge through the opposing line and rob the run' ner for huge losses. 'lBillie graduates and he will be greatly missed next year. CARL KLEMP Cana FULLBACK Three R's Cutta has been our star fullback for the past three years and still has one more year in which to represent the Orange and Black on the gridiron. His stellar punting and superb line plunging were a feature of every game that he played in. Because of his fine playing he has been awarded the captaincy of next year's eleven and Ripon High School can rest assured that the team will be well in the lead. ,HARGLD GEHRKE 'KHank RIGHT HALFBACK Two R's Hank played a whale of a game at right halfback all season. His ability to hit the line hard for big gains and to run around the ends was unusual for high school calibre. He also was superb on receiving passes. Hank suffered a dislocated shoulder in the Waupun game, but played again before the season was over. L'Hank graduates this year and his position will be hard to hll on next year's eleven. Sixty - seven The Tiger, 1926 fS5i.:?',,,.N,z ,xl JOHN FISCHER 1ohnie RIGHT GUARD , 1 'One nsRs1 This was Johniesfirst year as a regular and he played very creditably in view of this fact. In regard to size and weight, he is a chip off the old block, and is fully as big as his brother, Billie Johnie also seems to have inherited some of Billie's football prowess, and bids fairto eclipse the wonderful record that P Billie made. ujohnien has two more years in which to represent Ripon High School on the grid- iron. SILAS EVANS Si RIGHT TACKLE , 1 One R Si'.' was a true, fighting tackle, if there ever was one that represented Ripon High School. His neverfsayfdie spirit aroused the other fellows tovgive the best that was in them for the glory of Ripon High Schoolg In every game that Si played, he secured the majority of tackles that were made, and time after time on defensive play he would tear through and throw the opposing back' field for losses. Si' graduates in June and it will be exceedingly hard to fill his posif tion next year. HENRY STERLINSKE Heinie - RIGHT END ' , 0ne R Here was another regular for the first time and Heinie filled the position of right end to perfection. His speed and alertness were a great asset to him on run' ning down punts. On numerous occasions hc would sprint down the field and tackle the receiver in his tracks. Heinie has two more years to wear his football uni- form for Ripon High School. - Sixty-eight , . .-Q-'l'5 ig'44 The Tiger, 1926 ROY WAGNER Path LEFT FIALFBACK Two R's Pat J was one of the most consistent players on the team. His speed and head' work enabled him to gain on nearly every play in which he carried the ball. Pat was especially good on receiving punts and getting quickly started down the Held be- fore the opposing ends could reach him. Pat has one more year to play football for Ripon High. EDWARD SCHNEIDER '4Eadfa' GUARD-TACKLE E Two R's' Eddie's good defensive work in all the games he participated in was very noticeaf ble. His never'sayfdie spirit was an ex' ample to the other fellows. Time after time Eddie would tackle the opposing backfield men for large losses. His opponf ents soon realized the fact that they could not penetrate the line where he was situat- ed. Eddie graduates in June and his po- sition will be hard to fill next year. CARL JESS Cl':uck,' - QUARTERBACK Two PCS Chuck filled the position of quarter' back admirably well and used excellent gen' eralship and coolness in selecting plays. His speed and shiftiness made him a menace to opposing ends on end plays. The Klempf jess passing combination with Chuck on the receiving end was very effective against all opponents. It was Chuck who made that thrilling 100 yard run for a touchdown against Wayland. Chuck will be back for two more years to play for Ripon High School. Sixty-nine The Tiger, 1926 My f .A , .fit lrsiarsl' .a.f'l, A CLARENCE MEAD 'tMeaa LEFT GUARD One NR' This was also Mead's Hrst year in foot' ball, and he played like a true veteran. His excellent blocking and defensive work was unbeatable and furthermore he was a play' er of the lighter typefl He never gave up playing his best even in the face of heavy odds. He still has one more year to plav football for the Orange and Black. CARL L. WELK Lynn LEFT END 1925 Season This was Carl's first year at end and he played a fairly good game, but hard luck seemed to camp on his trail and he was laid up with a sprained ligament for the ma' jor part of the season. However, he will be back next year, and we all anticipate big things from him. RAYMOND ECKERT Ray RIGHT HALF One R Although this was Ray's first year at football he showed up very creditably. His speed and shiftiness was always a danger to his opponents. We all expect great things from Ray next year as he will have a year of experience. Although light and small in physical structure, he more than made up for in in speed. Ray will be back next year.

AVS . 1-,fs -. lfrii-firm i ' Review of the l925f6 Basketball Season ALUMNI GAME The prospects for a victory over the alum- ni were very slim at the beginning of the season as Coach Olson had only two veterf ans from last year's squad. However, he started the alumni game with Captain Gehrf ke and Nason at the forward positions, Klemp at center, and jess and Fischer at the guard positions. The alumni lineup would have done credit to any professional team as it boasted of Ladwig ati center, Little and Gray as forwards and Jaspers and L. jess at guards. The game started with Ladwig-getting the tipfoff and the alumni took the offensive. They worked the ball in for a short shot by Little. The entire first quarter was taken in the offen- sive by the alumni and the high school took the defensive. Nason, playing left forward for the Orange and Black, made the only points for the highs in the first half by a field goal and a free throw. The half ended 11 to 3 in favor of the alumni. The second half brought only one more basket for the high school and that was made by Nason, who scored the entire ive points for the Orange and Black during the game. In the last quarter Coach Olson put Schattschneider in Nason's place because Nason had sprained his ankle. The game ended 21 to 5 in favor of the alumni. BERLIN GAME QAt Ripon, Our Orange and Black cagers started out with a bang and sank two field goals be- fore our rivals knew what it was all about. Davlin, the Red and Green captain, sank a pretty field goal from a difficult angle, making the score 4 to 2 in favor of Ripon at the end of the first quarter. The second quarter was very hard fought by both teams but Hank succeeded in scoring a pretty basket at close range and the half ended 6 to 2 in Ripon's favor. The second half opened with Berlin scoring three points in rapid succession, making the score 6 to S. Then Chuck Jess sank a long one from the middle of the floor, but Alberts of Ber- lin retaliated with a short one. The score at this time was 8 to 7 in Ripon's advanf tage. However, this completed Berlin's scoring for the evening and two field goals by Klemp and a free throw by Fischer brought victory to Ripon. The Hnal score was 13 to 7. NEENAH GAME fAt Neenahj Our cagers journeyed to Neenah to do battle with Coach Christoph's Red and White basketeers. As Neenah is a nonfconf ference member this game had no effect on Ripon's Little Ten standing. The game started off like a flash with Schneller getting the tipfoff. Neenah worked the ball thru our five-man defense with apparent ease and scored ten points before Ripon got started. The score at the half was 13 to 2 in Nec' nah's favor. Klemp having scored the on- ly marker for Ripon during this period. The second half started out with jess scor- ing a long one and immediately after this Klemp scored an easy short one. The score at this time was 13 to 6 in Neenah's favor. However, Schneller and Stilp scored three baskets apiece to one basket made by Capt. Gehrke and the game ended 24 to 8 in favor of the Red and White. Seyenly-two luyfu The Tiger, 1926 ' BEAVER DAM GAME fAt Riponj Unalarmed at the defeat suffered at the hands of Neenah our cagers were deter' mined to defeat Beaver Dam and thus keep a clean slate in the Little Ten conference. The game started with Klemp easily getting the jump on his opponent, Starkweather. The first quarter was rather closely fought but Ripon was ahead, 6 to 2, and the sec- ond quarter separated the margin still far' ther as jess and Gehrke scored a field goal apiece while Beaver Dam scored only a free throw. The half ended 10 to 3 in favor of the Orange and Black. The second half was more closely fought as Beaver Dam made two baskets and a free throw to one free throw scored by Sterlinske in the third quarter. The fourth quarter started out with Starkweather of Beaver Dam scoring a field goal from a difficult angle, making the score ll to 10 in Ripon's favor. However, with six more minutes left to play Ripon started a drive that netted ten points. Klemp made two field goals, Gehrke one field goal, Sterlinske one field goal, and Fischer one field marker. The game ended '21 to 10 in Ripon's favor and a clean slate in the Little Ten. WAUPLIN GAME fAt Waupuiij Encouraged by our decisive victory over Beaver Dam our Orange and Black cagers went to XVaupun with very high hopes of another victory. The game started with Klemp getting the tipfoff with ease. Ripon forced Waupuii to assume the defensive immediately and in a few minutes Klemp and Gehrke had each scored a field goal, while Sterlinske dropped in a free throw. The score at this time was 5 to 0 in Ripon's favor. Then Waupiiii Hnally woke up and Mielke scored a basket and a free throw. T he half ended 7 to 3 for jess had scored a short easy one in the second quarter. The third -quarter ended the scoring for Wauf pun as they dropped :in a free throw. Klemp broke away for a sure easy one and Sterlinf ske scored a free throw as the game ended 10 to 4 in favor of the Orange and Black. MAYVILLE GAME fAt Ripauy With three conference victories tucked away under our belts our cagers clashed with Mayville on Feb. 5. The game start' ed out rather slow and unexciting, but it soon livened up a bit. Capt. Gehrke and Klemp were the main point getters for the Orange and Black. 'Cuttai' shot a neat field goal about three minutes before the closing whistle, followed by a free throw by Chuck Jess. Aronin scored a field goal for Iviayville soon after this. Capt. Gehr- ke, not to be outdone by his teammates, shot a pretty field goal only to be followed by an' other field goal by Klemp. This was Klemp's second basket in the game. The first quarter ended ll to 2 in Ripon's favor. Fischer and Gehrke broke through May' ville's defense with ease in the second quar- ter and each scored a field goal. Fischer's ability to nab the ball off the bounding board was very noticeable throughout the game as well as in previaus games. The half ended 15 to 'Z in favor of the Orange and Black, . The third quarter saw May' ville desperately trying to overcome the big lead Ripon had on them. However, the only impression they made was a field goal by their center which brought the score to li to 4. In the final quarter Mztyville out' scored Ripon 7 to 6, but the Orange and Black were still on top when the final whis' tle blew, and Ripon had four conference victories and a 1.000 per cent average. Seventy-three The Tiger, 1926 N ' WATERTOWN GAME tat Ripsnp Coach Olson had drilled his cagers to the highest point in preparation for the Water' town game, undoubetdly the hardest game on the entire schedule. The game started like a whirlwind with both teams keyed up to the highest pitch to win at any cost. Watertown scored first on a field goal by their center. Then Klemp scored a free- throw and Watertown retaliated with a field goal. The first quarter ended 6 to 3 in Watertown's favor. The second quarf ter found Watertown still getting the jump on Ripon and they were fighting for the ball more than Ripon was. The Water' town center had the jump on Klemp for the majority of times. The half ended 12 to 8 in favor of Watertown. In the third quarter Watertown increased their lead to six points and Ripon was disheartened. However, in the last quarter it was all thrills and Ripon staged one of their famous comebacks and scored seven points to 'two for Watertown. The cruel hand of destif ny, however, stepped in and stated that Ri- pon should lose. Sterlinske had a free' throw in the last 30 seconds, which if suc- cessful would have tied the score, but it failed, and Ripon lost its first conference game '21 to 20. BERLIN GAME fAt Berlinj Our defeat at the hands of Watertown failed to discourage the team in the least and they went over to Berlin with a grim determination to win. This was something that hadn't been accomplished by an Orange and Black 'team for a long period of time. The team was supported by a large number of rooters and also the high school band went over to help defeat Berlin. The game started very flashy and both teams were pretty evenly matched. Berlin broke into the scoring column first with a basket by Alberts, their star center. Ripon came back a few minutes later with a' free throw by Klemp and Sanders of Berlin increased their one-point lead with a neat field goal from the side. Klemp broke through Berlin's defense and dropped in a short one, making the score 6 to 3 in favor of the Red and Green. The half ended with the score still the same. Ripon came back strong in the third quarter and tied the score at S all. This was accomplished by a field goal by Klemp, a free throw by Sterlinske, another frec- throw by Gehrke. The final quarter was a humdinger as Ripon scored two field goals while Berlin was held scoreless. The game ended 12 to 8 in favor of Riponf XVAUPUN GAME rm Ripfmy Although Waupun' had failed to win a single conference game previous to their game with Ripon, Coach Olson warned his protegees not to become over-confident in the least. Waupun started with an amaz' ing burst of speed and amassed six points before Ripon knew what it was all about. However, the Orange and Black came to before the first quarter ended and scored four points. In the second quarter Ripon's offense and defense started to function properly and Waupun could not penetrate it. Klemp and Gehrke each scored a field goal and Jess and Sterlinske each scored a free throw making the score 10 to 6 at the end of the first half. In the third quarter Ripon still continued their scoring rampage and Waupun only found the rim twice to bring their score up to 10. The final score was 17 to 10 in Ripon's favor. Seventy-four . X.:- , ,u sf The Tiger, 1926 HORIOON GAME fAt Horiconj Our basketeers journeyed to Horicon with a grim determination to annex a win as it would mean the Little Ten championship for Ripon. The game began with Horicon ond quarter Ripon's offense became used to the small floor and the score at the half was 12 to 11 in Horicon's favor. The third quarter was a period of very fast playing and Horicon scored two field goals, while Ripon added five more points to their 'total by two baskets and a free throw. The fourth quarter was very hotly contested, but THE OSHKOSH Our 'team was entered in the district meet at Oshkosh on March ll, 12 and 13. We had hard luck in drawing for the first dayls games and Fond du Lac was picked as our first opponent. Although Ripon put up a valiant ight against heavy odds, Fond du Lac swamped us by a score of 42 to 13. Our time honored rivals, Berlin, had def feared Vkfinneconne so we had to play the villagers and we won with apparent ease. The score being 19 to 10. Klemp and Gehrf ke were the stars in this game. On the getting the jump in scoring. However, Klemp got his eagle eyeu to working and the score at the end of the iirst quarter was 5 to 4 in Horicon's advantage. In the sec- Ripon steadily increased their lead and the game ended 26 to 18 in favor of the Orange and Black, and Ripon had won the Little Ten championship in basketball. Coach Olson is to be very ,highly commended on his achievement, considering that 'there were only two veterans from last year's squad to work with. TOURNAMENT following morning, which was Saturday, Ripon played Horicon and crushed them by an overwhelming score of 18 to 4. On Saturday evening Ripon played for third place, and our opponent was none other than our friendly enemy,V Berlin. Our basketeers were all afflicted with colds and were completely worn out from the strenf uous pace they had been taking and Berlin won the game and third place, by a score of l4 to 4. 7 ., '-P C ' 3- W- -ffl 11. 1 Seventy-Five The Tiger, 1926 CHAROLD GEHRKE Hamlin RIGHT FORWARD Two R's Capt. Hank Gehrke was the main cog in the offensive playing of the Orange and Black all season. I-lanki' was very elusive and gave all his opponents a hard job trying to guard him efficiently. Hank had a little difficulty in getting his eagle eye to function, but when it did start to function, it was a menace to all opponents. Capt. Gehrke graduates in june and his position will be difficult to fill next year. CARL KLEMP Cutta ' CENTER Two NPGS Klemp's excellent playing as center was very commendable. His remarkable eagle eye was always functioning in every game and opposing guards had more than their hands full to keep him properly covered. In recognition of his stellar playing for the last two years he has been given the cap- taincy of next year's quintet. Cutta also was elected captain of football, 'and two captaincies in one year is a record that very few athletes enjoy. WILLIAM FISCHER Billie,' LEFT' GUARD One R Billie's huge physical structure was of great advantage in securing rebounds off of the banking board in nearly every game. His dexterity in handling the ball was ref markable. This was 'LBillie'si' first year as a basketball regular, but his playing was equal to that of a veteran. Billie graduf ates in june and will be greatly missed on next year's basketball team. Seventy -six The Tiger, 1926 f. aff? ., all-55 W HENRY STERLINSKE Hei-nie LEFT FORNVARD One R Heinie was one of the most consistent scorers during the entire basketball season. He had an unusually good eye for the basket. Heinie has won two letters this year, which is a wonderful record for a sophomore. The 1.000 per cent in the Lit- tle Ten conference rested on Heinie's shoulders on one occasion in the Watertowii game. Regardless of this, Ripon won it anyway. Heinie will be back for the next two years to represent Ripon High. LEROY SCHATTSCHNEIDER Shorty LEFT FORWARD One . If there ever was an athlete that learned practice makes perfect it was Shotty. He practiced consistently for four years on the gridiron and on the basketball floor, and at last in his Senior year he received his coveted Shotty was exceedingly fast and very shifty on his feet. He gradu' ates in june and will be sorely missed on next yearis quintet. CARL JESS Chuck RIGHT GUARD One R Chuck played the guard position very well, considering it was his first year as a regular. Chuck was the only one on the varsity that Lady Luck smiled on. Not a single .game went by that 'LChuck didn't score at least one lucky field goal. His defensive playing was beyond criticism and his ability to sink field goals was uncanny. Chuck has two more years to play for Ripon High School and incidentally esta- blish an enviable record. Seventy- seven The Tiger, 1926 N, ff :il , VERL KIRBY Kirby RIGHT FORWARD One NR' Although not a regular at the beginning of the season, Kirby did not give up pracf ticing, and finally won recognition in the final games of the season. His heighth and speed made him a dangerous forward to all opponents and coupled with this he pos' sessed an unusually good eye for the bas- ket. Kirby will be back next year and will bolster up the Orange and Black quintet considerably. MARLAND BURT, Baboon RIGHT GUARD One Burt was a player that fought his way up to a position on the varsity squad, and his fighting spirit carried himf forward in face of heavy odds. Burt displayed his basketball prowess for thc first time in the Neenah game and from that game until the end of the season, he was a regular varsity member. Burt has one more year in which to represent the Orange and Black on the basketball floor. ' GEORGE STEELE Lightning , CENTER AND GUARD LSR!! Lightning practiced consistently all through the basketball season and finally his chance came in the Oshkosh tournament. He Hlled the position of center and guard admirably well, considering that he had not participated in any varsity game previous to the tournament. His heighth was of good advantage to him in the center position. Lightning also graduates in June and it is needless to say that he will be greatly missed next year. Seventy- eight - yi: . .

The beautiful lov- ing cupf the prize for first honors, is the 'p'i'oud ipossession of our-high school. -Two Little Ten championships in one year is a record that is not to be scoffed at and Ripon High School is certainly proud of it. Our Little Ten champion tracksters went to the Wayland meet on May 22 and after running neck and neck with Watertown during the whole meet, we were nosed out in the final two or three events. We were forced to take second place with 27 points while Watertown took first with 31 points. ,The fellows that won places in this meet were Labisky and Klemp in the 120 yard high hurdlesg Schaefer, two third places in the 100 and1220 yard dashes, Klemp, Gehrf ke and Schneider scored a slam in the shot put, Schneider also took second-in the dis' cusg Klemp copped second in the javelin, and Labisky a fourth in the pole vault.

SENIORS In the good old days when the roads in France were made of Gaul Stones, there lived the good King Tonsilitis. It was a sad fact but true that Tonsilitis and his sis' ter, Lisperine, did not really feel happy. He had everything to make him laugh but to no avail. His Siberian court jesters were so funny that they had all the living statues giggling. They had formerly held jobs on a transatlantic airship line from San Fran' cisco to New York, where they had to take the rugs out each day and pound them. They had rugs that could not be beat, too. And while we are speaking of the Boy Scout movement in Bulgaria, they were highly recommended for selling chewing gum and horse radish at the Ripon street fair. But now they were with the good king enjoying an early old age. They had tried their hardest to make the good king laugh, but they did not meet with much success. It was harder to make him laugh than putting roller skates on bumble bees. It seems that ever since old Tony had graduated he had felt that longing to be back again and to be a Senior once more. And do you blame him? Way down in Egypt, the land of ice and snow, King Plushbottom was spending the days playing leaffhouse with the girl next door. He was one of these desert sheiks. Full of grit. He would ride o'er the desert and splash in all the mud puddles and then back to the pyramid where he could peer' amid to see if the little girl next door was waiting for him. He lost on an average, every day, at least two pairs of overalls and a straw hat playing poker with Cleopatra. But still he was not happy. Why? just because he had graduatediso many years ago and he had liked his life as a senior too well. The only thing that he liked real well about his graduation was the fact that his sheepskinimade such a fine pair of gloves. Before China went broke, there lived among the Chinamen a certain Chinaman, Shy One Lung. He owned a meat market and that was sure a tough joint. He only sold 39 yards of sausage a week and didn't like to send his washing to a Chinese launf dry. But that was not the only reason that he was downcast. He had forgotten how old he was but his wife said he was 21, be' cause he had the seven year itch three times. But still he was as sad as a rich widow's fu' neral. He didn't have any fun making cutting remarks with his cleaver just be' cause he had graduated so long ago. I imagine that it will be the same with the seniors this year. I thirst for knowlf edge. My brains are nibbling at the roots of my hair. Of course. we want to get out and show up Tommy Edison, Rockerfeller and some of those and you know what calf ibre they are. But after we have showed them up, we would be glad to return to the seat of our early fun. Of course, we know that the school will miss us but let them remember that it is for their own good, not ours. Then to think that we have spent so many years here and this is only the com- mencement. We are heading out to sea with only a leaky oar. It is hard to say what most of us will be doing. Some, of course, will be married and others will be spending their own money and living happily. You will notice that the ones who take unto them' selves a wife are the ones who never did pass the first time in school anyway. And so this class of 52 happy souls, the largest graduating from the Senior High School, this year bids you an affectionate and funny farewell. ' Eighty-three The Tiger, 1926 f . , THE JUNIOR CLASS The Junior class is sure a pepy outfit an.i they ought to be because they have had enough Root Beer. Now if the monkey does not sit on the elephants trunk so he can not get his stiff shirt out, I will give you a little inside information on the said class. According to statistics, 9 people in the class have had their tonsils taken out, 3 have had their goitre displayed and 6 have contracted appendicitis. How is that for inf side dope? It is one of the tasks of a Junior to help make money for the Prom and each has to do his duty. This year the Juniors have the honor of giving us a Prom and a peach it ought to be. But I do hope that they have more prunes in the apple sauce this year because if they don't, the celery will taste terrible. And that Blackstone salad is just the thing for a good set of ivories. One thing that I always like at the Prom is the fact that they have the chicken hidden in the cutest places. Sort of a game. Although they give you no directions as to where to find it, it's great fun to plow through your potato and other things and try to locate it. Kind of a treasure hunt. Yes, to the victor belongs the spoiled. They have a menu that looks like the family tree of one of these Chinese chows. I never did know what I had eaten until I got in college and took some for- eign languages. But the juniors are learning that when' ever they wash their eyes out they never should forget to put them back again. - Next year they will be Seniors and then they can do what they want to annd then, too, they won't have to worry about any Prom, only whether they graduate or not. THE SOPHOMORE CLASS The nonpareil Seniors will have to look out for their laurels with these Sophomores around here. Sopr stands for sophisticated, you know, and they surely are that. Alf ready they are after the endurance run for clapping at the tourney and 'I think they have it. And then to think that we beat them. But they are a bunch of bad eggs, hard to beat. One of their number has two inches of callous on his hands and another has moss on the roof of his mouth, but it is from the roots of his hair. In this class, we have found a lot of cases, not prefwar stuff, but just starting since the war. Bill says that he gets a big kick out of Mildred, but maybe he means Mr.'Gatzke. But then he sings, Oh how you miss me tonight, and does the hun' dred in ten flat. But now this class has nothing to look forward to but the end of school and the Prom next year. And after the Seniors get out of the school, they ought to be able to run things to suit themselves and so we, the seniors, are clearing out to make room for the coming generation and we bid them :t fond goodby. THE SPECTATOR The following is how our traveling sales' men sell the world famed paper, the Spec' tator. The young man, especially if he is walking, approaches on horseback. With his hat in one hand and his other adjusting the baseball mask, he ascends the steps. Of course, he never hopes to ring more than once because they are all anxious to see what he has to sell. So with one hand he drops his hat in the nearest chair and with the same hand he proceeds to take a copy of the Spectator out of his pocket, still keep' ing the other hand protecting the face. Do not sit down right away. Be ready to run. And then he goes on in like man' ner. Why, how do you do? I was so glad to hear you were looking so well. I have here the greatest paper in forty- elevf Eightyvfour T X-5 ,,,,tyJ-gwff' .kv - X .Xl The Tiger, l926 en schools, only tried out in one, and I would like to show it to you. First of all, we have them in assorted colors for color blind people of your build. Now outside of telling all of the school news and town news ,it tells all of the people who attend' ed the show Saturday and Sunday. You can also find out why warts do not grow in Honolulu, and we have a new serial start- ing, The Swiss Yodelers and Their Ton' siiltisf' Madam, this paper that I have here is the Brougham model, but we also have the large and small sizes. It all depends on the size fire you build as to which model you prefer. Yes, it is made so the print burns, too, and leaves no nasty residue in your furnace. The prices are ten cents for one and 15 for one year. We would like to sigi you up for a two years' contract which would be twice as much as for one year. Yes, terible weather we are having. So wet under foot that I have to wear rub' hers. I carry this umbrella to keep my brother's hat from getting wet. So you don't think that you would care to take ad- vantage of our offer? And he backed away from the mirror, entirely satisfied that he could sell Eskimo pies to a cigar store Inf dian. THE AUDUBON CLUB ' This club is a Junior High School organ' ization which was organized to collect the birds' bills. It was founded by john Au- domobile in way hack when those old girls used to hoop it up. This club became well known about when King Tut got flat feet. They have found out all there is to be known about stool pigeons and those birds that lay the Easter eggs. Those birds have had a layfoff ever since the club was found' ed. It is claimed that eggs are shorter this year. Yes, about 3'16 of an inch. It is known that there are 2.96 miles of birds' eggs laid each year. They have estimated that if one end were put at New York the other end would be 296 miles away from New York. You have heard how Ray E. is getting their eggs havent you? Well, he draws a hen and it is so natural that he leaves it on the desk and it lays there. He says that a great number of the chickens just lay around. Statistics from the club show that birds are flying higher this year. They let one go and it never did come back, but they know that it went at least above the world's record. But, nevertheless, the statistics show what an active organization we have with us, and we hope that they continue their flively and active work. A cat has nine lives but a frog croaks every day. THE STUDENT COUNCIL The all august body which meets in room 3 every Wednesday for the main purf pose of getting out of the 1:15 class is called the Student Council. It is a noble body of future ministers who try to run the school through a megaphone. Let us see what some of the require- ments are to become a member of the coun' cil. First, they must be able to chew the wrinkles out of gum and deposit the satuf rated residue on the first piece of edifice that comes within reach. Second, they must be able to cut up real well in study hall, whisper and ma.ke faces if necessary to attract their fair sweetie's attention. Then this body meets to discuss, Why and they then proceed to tell us what the matter is. Now, my fellow students, I want to pref sent some of their harharous forms of pun' ishments and many of them are really inf Eighty-five The Tiger, 1926 git- h - . humane. One poor wafer who happened before the council says that he had his ear' drums pounded on with two toothpicks. They gave another victim a bag of meas- les to take home to his mother, but he said they got away from her and she never did catch them. They made one other manicure his nails with a monkey wrench and they have performed things of like horrible na- ture. And so, fellow students and undeuqlogs, I urge you not to bear the burden of op- pression any longer but break all ties with the said organization and if we must go to the Happy Hunting Gruonds for it, do not let them wrest our hunting licenses from us. W. Alfred Fischer, C.O.D., P.H.D. I.N.C. SPORTS IN RIPON HIGH SCHOOL Sports are what you do to get a pull with the teachers. That is why most football men make good dentists, because of the pull they have. Of course, all our modern boys and girls go in for indoor sports fthat is, if they don't go too soonj. It is needless to say that we had to cut our squad down to a meager eleven or fifteen men. From the 150 who reported, Lunde picked the cream of the cocoanuts and filled the rest of the nuts back to the gym. We practiced until Gehrke's mind got so keen that he cut his helmet and then we were ready for our first encounter. ,But he had a very successful season if you count the games he won. We had several fellows hurt, not while on the eleven, but while the eleven was on them. One fellow got a hang nail and thought he was an aerial tra- peze performer and couldn't get down to the ground with the rest of us. Others thought that stacomb was part of the reg' ular equipment and he wouldn't get out be' cause we did not furnish it. In some way or other, they all evaded the draft law on one excuse or another but a ssoon as their girl whistled, all the crutches were laid aside and once on the main street, out of sight of the school house, they were once more happy. The spectators at our last few games have brought the matter of a stadium to a crisis. We have scarcely had room for all of them. Eleven men on a football team brings too many relatives into town to see their forty' second cousins play and you can easily see that we must either have a new stadium or kill off a few relatives. While it would he easier to kill off the relatives, I think that we should do what we can to secure a new stadium efore we attempt any drastic measf ures. Now, in basketball, Klemp was the ring leader. He put more through the bottom of the ring than Fischer put through the top. The only reason anyone ever beat us was because they got a bigger score than we did. Both old and new rivals fell victims to Olson's Tigers. Olson, our coach, is a ten letter man from La Crosse. Yes, his girl writes him every day whether he needs C1 bawling out or not. Sterlinske, our right forward is such a fast man on the pivot that he usually has to go back and get the ball. Hank, be' sides playing with the team is the talker up. He sure can talk it up, too! He has leather tonsils and a cedar chest. Charley is the trainer. He smokes ham. Fischer, the other guard, wears a paddle wheel bow tie because he has water on the brain. Now that spring is here, we can look for' ward to our track team. Joe L. can run around the track so fast he looks like a roulette wheel. The reports are that the the boys are running the shot nicely and cv' erything points to a hot race in the running broad smile. Considering everything our sports would be a howling success if there was a little more yelling. We have fine teams, don't it?
