NELLIE V. PITTS Board of Education. Mr. C. F. Henry Meyer was born in Germany and received the greater part of his education in that country. Ever since Mr. Meyer came to Sauk City he has been a public spirited man and lias always been ready to help the community in every way. He has been a member of the Board of Education for four years, hold- ing the office of clerk. No one could be more interested in the welfare of the school and perform the duties of his office more cheerfully and conscientiously. Mrs. L. W. Karberg, has been a member of the Board of Education for two years. During the two years of her directorship she has helped the school in many ways. Her far-sightedness and efficiency has helped to make our school system one of the best in the state. Mr. E. Lachmund, a graduate of the Sauk City High School, was elected treasurer of the Board of Education two years ago. Mr. Lachmund has always been a willing worker for the good of the school. He has not only been treasurer as the name of his office implies but his business training and his appreciation of values has made him a truly valuable member of the board.

It is our opinion that any institution founded and run upon correct basic and fundamental principles is sure to be a special success. It would seem that this simple formula would insure the success of most institutions, for persons in charge would surely understand and agree to it. Yet some institutions fail and some are only partial successes. Notwithstanding this fact, we believe that the formula for institutional success mentioned in our open- ing sentence is true;and that the reason for the failure on the part of some is that those in charge are either unable to realize, or some- how have not succeeded in determining, just what constitutes the basic principles of the institution. Our faith in the above formula is such that we have attempted to follow it in the Sauk City Schools. If success so much depends upon fundamentals of an institu- tion, we must first determine just what constitutes the foundation of a successful school. We believe that the following make up the most essential requirements for such a school system: 1. Healthy, sturdy, alert pupils representing the en- tire community. 2. Strong, capable, conscientious, and adequately pre- pared teachers. 3. Proper equipment, including building, play grounds, books, desks, etc. 4. Best course of study to be had for that particular school. 5. Proper methods and proper administration in the following of the course. Grades While this article concerns the high school primarily, we will discuss briefly the work of our grades. Since a considerable portion of our students must come from the grades, and since grade edu- wmv r A ] A (TO ifml i b VAJ LA cation is fundamental and sometimes final, no public school system can flourish whose grades are not satisfactory. We believe that Sauk City’s grades have live, alert pupils. We are convinced that the force of grade teachers is of the very best. Our eqipment is quite adequate, and it will be reasonably complete within an- other year. The grade course of study in our school is the state graded course of Wisconsin, selected because it is made up by the best educators in the state — men and women who made a life study of the problems of education and because we think it fits our needs. We offer German as an elective in the fifth, sixth and seventh grades, because this is a German speaking community, and because the period of childhood is the natural time to acquire a language. As for methods, we have said enough when we have mentioned the quality of our grade teachers. Departmental work, in so far as our force is adequate, is being carried out; and what- ever method will be of benefit to our grade pupils, we are glad to employ, whether the method be old or new. In brief, we believe that we have secured the five essentials for success in our grades and that the work our grades are doing, justifies our faith in those fundamentals. High School It shall be our purpose to tell how Sauk City has secured a successful high school. It is obvious that our high school, to hold its own, must be a success; for in a neighboring town, one mile distant, is another high school, which for years had a large enroll- ment. One can see that a policy which brings us success must be both sane and sure. We have all the afore mentioned essentials for a successful high school. First, we have, on the whole, as clean, as bright, and as moral student body as can be found in any high school big or little. The second important element, the teachers, likewise compare favorably with the best. “ A tree is known by its fruits ”, is the principle which guided in the selection of our teachers, and so satis- factory is the result, that every one of the six high school teachers is retained upon the faculty at salaries few' towns of this size pay. The third element, that of equipment, can not be overestimated in its relation to the success of our high school. We have one of the most modern and most adequate buildings of any town of this size ml KALE VA LA pra JEjncvu in Wisconsin. There can be no question as to the furniture, appar- atus, etc., which is the best available. Thanks to someone, whose name at this writing has not been revealed, we shall have, by the beginning of next year, a school ground, equipped completely with play-ground apparatus, running track, and athletic field, and beaut- fied with shrubbery etc. as planned by A. C. Clas, who has few peers in landscape architecture. Our course of Study, worked out in conjunction with the State Department of Education, includes regular English and German Courses and special courses in Manual Training, Domestic Science, Commerce, and Agriculture. Since our faculty was selected and retained on the basis of what they can do, it is hardly necessary to comment upon methods and administra- tion. In the beginning of this article, we stated w'hat we believe to be fundamental for a successful school. With the cooperation of the school board and citizens of this community, we have secured all those essentials. Our faith in those essentials may be justified by reading the following outline of the achievments of this school within the last year: 1. The construction of a new high school building, the equipment of the same, and the landscaping and equip- ping of grounds, at a cost of $35,000. 2. An increase of 54't in the high school enrollment. 3. The adoption of a Course of Study comparable to the best in the state. 4. An increase of 50% in the faculty. 5. Addition of three special courses and the special instruction of adults. 6. Recognition of exceptional work by the University of Wisconsin.

And in fighting our battles we fought side by side. “ Fought ” is the name as the meetings imply, But on Irene’s controll we all could rely; For due to her effort we were led safely through, Being told by her the proper things to do. Among us was Amelia with her tresses of gold, Who is seeking for wisdom the same as of old. In plays German and English, to see her’s a treat, One of the best of our class and she can’t be beat. There were Edna and Lillian the inseparable chums, Who were ever seen pondering over their sums; As Edna was always so very sedate, Lill sure was quite tasty in choosing her mate. There was Christie our baby” and yet not the least, For she always had standings which could scarce be increased. She was never seen idle or gazing about, So t’was easy to judge her without any doubt. We must not forget Richard our Senior Athlete, Without him no doubt our team would get beat. He was ever so ready to join in a tease, He went with the Freshmen as nice as you please. But here goes for Lilah, or “ Betsy ” for short, She was ever so ready to lead in all sport. If it weren’t for Oswald how would Betsy live ? Yet he does so much teasing she’ll always forgive. Let’s cheer for Valeska who’s example is best, As her behavior is ranked above all the rest. But let’s not slight Lorena who is pretty good too Yet she’s almost too quiet if we’re to be true. Those who are keeping us most in suspence Are Ruth and Leone before all great events; As they’re waiting for train time from morning till night. Suppose they should miss it “ It would be a fright.” Let’s look at Li 11 Hahn our Senior brunette, Who is ever determined and has her mind set To be up to some mischief when the teachers are gone, But it’s only too bad for they never stay long. Without Roland our annual would not be completed, Tho’ the boys are outnumbered, they’re left undefeated; Through Roland’s great effort they stand at the head. But we can’t be ungrateful, for we Seniors are led. A Senior, true Senior if dignity’s judge, Was Herbert whom all powers of school could not budge; In Mathematics, Physics, and Athletics too Herb was right there with the goods ever true. And last but not least as the saying goes Was Helen who’s qualities all the class knows; In what was she leader? A foolish question to ask - In all, it made little difference how great was the task. Good-by Freshmen, Sophmores, and Juniors and all, We hope that you often our names will recall, We are eagerly leaving and yet with regret. But just wait each and all of you, you’ll get there yet. —R. B. and H. B. Senior Class History When the rainbow tinted leaves of golden September fluttered in the breeze of the momentous year of 1913, the famed and am- bitious class of 1917, as Freshmen entered the ranks of the grand S. C. H. S. We were given seats over near the black board, which we occupied with mingled pride and timidity. Then we drew' our books. They were not all new' and from their appearances we began to form opinions of the upper classmen. We were caled “ infants ”, and “ greenies ”, told that our class colors would not be difficult to choose. We were looked down upon I rom heights to w'hich we longed to climb, and were made sport of, by the upper classmen, all of which undaunted, we graciously bore. Soon, however, our timidity began to fade away and the school began to realize that the little f reshies knew' how to do things after all. first of all reports began to astonish those who scorn- fully looked down from above. They were doomed to worse than astonishment, for the excellent merits of the class of 1917 through- out its great career have won the praise and admiration of all. Very early in our career we attracted attention to our social ability for all the upper classmen pronounced us more than royal entertainers, after having spent St. Patricks’ evening w'ith us. Two parties, the praises of which never ceased, differentiated us lrom the other classes in our Sophomore year. We reached the climax of our social efficiency in our Junior year by establishing an annual banquet and Prom. The declamatory contest of our Freshmen year was the first of many noted entertainments w'hich won fame for us. During our Sophomore year we ventured to come before the public in our first dramatic program and since then our efforts along that line have become of the highest quality. We have taken prominent parts in class plays, German and English, and in school plays. Our history in athletics is short but good. One individual of our ranks has almost darkened the lustre of the athletics of all other classes combined. Year after year the worth and merit of our glorious class has been more keenly appreciated. Time and experience has enriched the golden profits of our labor, and though disappointments, troubles, and reverses have entered into the brilliant career of this class, still the victories, worthy achievements and successes, in so great a measure overbalance these that when we look back through the past the blue field of our career meets our gaze, brilliant with many radiant stars, the glories of our achievments. With a touch of sadness, mingled with just pride, we, the class of 1917 depart from the school in whose history we have played our little part. —E. M. Prophecy of the Class of '17 It was in the summer of 1925 while enjoying a three months’ vacation at my home in Sauk City, that I found time to indulge in memories of my school days which were awakened by the sight of a beautiful picture, a scene in Nature hanging in my room, a work of Miss Habermann, that conscientious little blond of our class, who now enjoyed the distinction of being the best nature painter and cartoonist in the state. We were driving along the shady roads west of Sauk City, intent on reaching the city before the storm which the dark clouds predicted. But the storm broke upon us suddenly and we feared we would have to weather it, when we espied a refuge, a tiny white school-house, nestled in the grove. We quickly made our way to it and were cordially admitted by a tiny school-ma’am wearing glasses. One good glance told me it was none other than Christy Menzel of our High School days. What a delightful talk we had. From it I gleaned that she had been teaching successfully for five years, and from her I learned that Leone had married and was living comfortably on a farm near Black Hawk. During my visit at Sauk City, we hired Brilliott’s new “ Get there ” car and went fishing out by the “ Old Mill Stream ”. How amazed I was to see a monstrous new mill built there, with the laborers hastening to and fro. I was very fortunate indeed to have a fifteen minute talk with the busy and able manager, Herbert Koenig. He was the same Herbert, energetic, practical, and with achievement written on his face. While attending a convention in Madison I had occasion to visit a cousin at the hospital. The attending nurse, seated in the darkened room informed me that the patient was sleeping, but that if I liked I could have a peep at her. The soft touch of the nurse’s hand on my arm, the low voice and gentle ways seemed strangly familiar to me and when the light flared up I was not at all sur- prized to look into the eyes of my old class-mate, Edna Marquardt. KALEVALA ... JL3rZ4JJ Who could better have chosen this work than the gentle Edna. We chatted of old times and she told me that she corresponded regu- larly with her former chum, Lillian Kleiner, now Mrs. So and So. Edna affirmed that Lillian was a plump rosy little “ Hausfrau ”, as happy as could be, living in Janesville. Through-out the seven years, since we had graduated I had corresponded with Irene Knipschield, my old chum, and had man- aged to visit her occasionally at her beautiful home in Beloit. Con- trary to all her avowals that she would never marry, her heart had been won by a promising young doctor and theirs was a happy home. I arranged to spend a week or two with her before I return- ed to the east where my work as Inspector of Schools kept me. One afternoon Irene had an appointment at the dentist and I uent with her. From the waiting room we saw the dentist in the office, bending over the table. Before I had time to look about Irene called gaily, “ Richard, come here and see whom I have with me.” The curly crop bobbed up and Richard Walser came to meet us with his old time haste. Irene had done this on purpose to sur- prise me, but it wasn’t such a great surprize after all when one considered how often he had avowed dentistry as his profession. That night we drifted into conversation about olden times in school and we reviewed our class. I asked what had become of Lilah Meyer. I had somehow never heard definitely what work she had taken up. Irene told me that Lilah had taken a course in music and held a position in the Milwaukee Conservatory of Music. Then too Ruth came to our minds. Ruth, the happy-go-lucky. She had gone to California shortly after graduation and had found the climate so congenial that she had made her home there in a neat cottage, situated in her husband’s fruit orchards. Lillian Hahn still seemed to be her dear mischievous self, as shown from the ga letter she wrote to Irene while I was there, accompanied by a dainty box of sweets, a sample from her large candy factory in Madison. Irene had also unearthed Roland, in fact he had played a minoi pait in the romance of her life. She had once stepped into a jewelry shop with Dr. Roberts, in Milwaukee, shortly before their marriage and was delightfully surprized and pleased to patronize the jeweler who was none other than the refractory Roily of our High School days. Roland, perfectly elated over the sale of a dia- mond, was as genial as could be. Seated on Irene’s rose-vined veranda one afternoon we looked through the old Annual we had published in our Senior year. How we did laugh and joke over all the quaint ideas and odd things we wrote on its pages. “ What has become of Helen Boehmer ? I haven’t seen her for five years”, I said to Irene. “ Why,” she ans- wered, “ haven’t you heard ? She took a two years course in Sten- ography and now holds a splendid civil service position in Madison.” On my way back to N. Y. I stopped a few days in Chicago. I was determined to look into the new Charity Organization of which I had read so much. The institution was on the outskirts of the city. After being admitted we passed the head superintendent’s office. With one glance I recognized Lorena Wilkerson. Still slight and unobtrusive, it was she who had thought out this ideal system and it was through her efforts and self sacrifices that the plan had materialized. There, I have predicted a future for each member of the class of 1917, and as I look up from my work with renewed vigor and interest, I am aroused by the consciousness that each and every one of our class must make good. When we graduate and commencement day is over, our paths divide and each goes forth to meet the destiny, the work which awaits him. The paths will not all be pleasant, for, as Longfellow says: “ Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary.” but, with a little perseverance, a little will power, a little sacrifice, futures far more glorious than this prophecy predicts, can be realized. A. E. and I. K. VALA vn Last Will and Testament — Class of 1917 We, the Senior Class of 1917, of the Sauk City High School, being of healthy mind, body, and soul and being aware of the un- certainty of life and the certainty of death, hereby do publish and declare this our last solemn will and testament.

To Mr. Harry Maitland we do bequeath our bountiful know- ledge of Physics, also our Physics note-books in order that he may remember the great pleasure we took in writing up those mysteri- ous and unexplanatory experiments. To the Junior Class we will our excellent class spirit which prevailed not only in our class meetings but also in the Assembly room. To the Sophomores we bequeath our dignity. May they take it to heart and become as serious and studious as we have become. To the Freshmen do we Seniors of 1917 bequeath the ability of knowing what to do, how to do it, and when to do it.

Our numbers were one-half score and five and we were called “ Freshmen And verily I say unto you the first few days we were sore afraid. But the shyness did not continue, for soon our rebellious natures came forth into action and we heard quoted of, “ Freshies indeed!” But those that bore rule over us suffered us not to wan- der into the laboratory, where we oft wished to enjoy the hours of labor. For they did admonish, “ If you rebel against our law, we will promote thee to no greater honor.” And before we did realize it the first six weeks had passed and we were put to tests, to discover whether we were worthy of those high positions, which had been granted to us. Soon we re- joiced for we received a new companion. It was a female, and she was named Ethel of Balfanz. And she spake unto us, “ I have joined your tribe, because I hold it as an ideal above all other tribes of your rank. For I have looked upon even the written traditions and have found said that ye were a tribe filled with wisdom and understanding; and that ye could well boast of keen insight. It recorded that Marcus of Back was a good illustration of the great quantity of humor ye all possessed. As I wish to be great some day I have come to ask to be enrolled as a memeber.” And we, being hospitable, received the wandering traveler, and gave her a place in our midst. Finally the days of February drew nigh and we did engage in a great undertaking. We did plan to entertain our fellow school- mates by giving them a “ Valentine Party ”. And the outcome did prove a great success for cupids were busy, flying from one to the other, performing their deeds of love. Then we did help the Juniors to prepare a grand banquet, at rr NUdl n jT A 1 r [ A T A A 1 [ A - V A A l L— V r UA J which we did eat famously. But the feasting could not continue, for there was much labor to be done. At last the days were accomplished, and we were set free iiom our bondage, for a season. Too soon we did behold with tears that our vacation was ended, for in the laws of the land it was announced, “ Thy days of pleasure are done, now therefore arise, and return to thy work, and it shall be well with thee; for unto thee shall be given a new name, even Sophomores, which we promised unto thee. Let the books of study depart not out of thy hand; but meditate there in, by day and night. So we arose early in the morning of the seventh day of the ninth month in the year 1916, and went unto our labors. And be- hold, after a few days we were content; for “ happy is he that findeth wisdom and getteth understanding.” And lo, our ways were established. Now our numbers were parted for some did choose the subject Arithmetic, while the more diligent ones did indulge deep into Geometry. In the course of the second month of our Sophomore life we did plan to entertain. Ghosts and goblins there were many at this Hallowe’en gathering. The Freshmen were also initiated and hard they did take it. All reported that they did enjoy themselves to their utmost. As time advanced we became great masters in our studies; and the neighboring tribes spoke saying, “What manner of men are these that they work so diligently? They seemed to scorn us; but we said unto the tribe of Seniors, “ Boast not thyself of to- morrow: for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” And we spake unto the Juniors saying, “Pride goeth before a fall.” And we encouraged the Freshmen, saying, “ By humility and fear of the teachers shalt thou gain honor.” Soon thereafter, many troubles gathered to fight against us, for final examinations did camp as a host about us. But with nightly sessions did we conquer them. Then we did join in a joyful song, wherefore we rejoiced, sing- ing praises. And even so shall we journey until we reach the land which fioweth with milk and honey, yea, verily after two remaining years, even as the Israelites, shall we enter into the promised land Theresa Berberich FRESHMEN Freshmen First Row: R.

A LE VA L Freshmen Class Officers Freshmen Class History We the class of '20, the first Freshmen Class in the new High School, claim distinction in three things: scholarship, athletics and size. The records show that our standings are more than up to the average of those of our predecessors. We have the smallest per- centage of failures of any freshmen class ever enrolled in this school. We are the first class in the history of the school to have any sort of Athletic teams. In every contest in which we have been engaged we have been victorions. In number there is strength. We started with an enrollment of twenty-five, and up to the present time only one of our number has dropped out. So with these three assets we expect, in the remaining three years, to do much for the school and for ourselves. Clarence Reuter Bo KALEVAl.Ai n First Year School Activities St. Patrick’s Party. Why don’t the Freshies give a party ? This statement could he heard in almost every corner of the room and especially when we passed the Senior ranks. And when St. Patrick’s Day drew near we had a class meeting in which we decided to have a record- breaking party. But what should we do? How should we go at it ? The decorations? the games? the refreshments? Oh these were certainly very difficult problems to solve. One thing we decided was that no matter what the expense or the amount of labor, we would give a party that would surpass the Senior’s Hallowe’en party. The Domestic Science teacher noticed by the troubled expres- sions on our faces that something must be the matter. After her inquiries we innocently confessed, and she kindly offered her assist- ance. Imagine our happiness. Committees were elected and each committee had a certain thing to do. After school and after supper no class was busier than the Freshmen. Shamrocks were cut out of light and dark green cardboard. Games were planned; invitations were made; and many other things done that we had never thot of as connected with a party. When finally the day came we decorated the room with green cheese cloth and crepe paper. The shamrocks were strung on strings and stretched across the room. The cloth which was draped on the walls was fastened with shamrocks and green ribbon bows. A Victrola was put in the front of the room and to one side we had a table on which were arranged cool, sweet drinks. Our games were well planned and everybody enjoyed them, no one suspecting our fast beating hearts. Late in the evening refreshments were served and everybody returned home with the thought, “ It takes the 1914 Freshies to give a party.” Freshmen Declamatory Contest. Girls Contest.

An old custom of the Sauk City schools which no citizen or pupil would like to see discontinued is the annual school picnic given at the close of the school year. One of the prominent features of the picnic of 1914 was the Rainbow Parade. The entire week before the picnic had been rainy and a rain- bow of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet was a pleasing sight. The people were entertained by declamations spoken by the KA LEVA LA U; school-children and by selections by the band. The younger people took part in races, contests and games. At four o’clock the annual supper was served. As grade pupils we had always taken an active interest in this part of the picnic but now, the girls had reached the dignity of helping serve while the boys made themselves useful at the lemon- ade stand. Tired but happy we saw the day come to a close. Second Year Activities The l'ageant. During this school year perhaps the most important event was the Pageant. This was not an activity of the class of T7 who at this time were Sophomores, or of the school alone, but of the entire community through the efforts of the school. Briefly, it was a story woven about the interesting history of our beloved village Sauk City. As a part of this little drama the ballot box was carried from its old abiding place to its new home in the school house where it holds sway every election day. The great multitude which gathered came from the towns and country round about. They witnessed scenes which they perhaps will never forget. Miss Zona Gale, a prominent and a well known Badger State authoress alone was worth the effort of the entire pageant. This event seemed to instill in the minds of the people the history of our village and to increase their interest in its progress. A Hallowe’en Party. “ A Hallowe’en party, a Hallowe’en party, to be given by the Sophomores ’’ was heard in the halls, in class and on the street. The invitations stated that we should come in custumes and so everyone was searching high and law for ideas. Because our Fresh- men Party had been such a success, we adapted the same plan of dividing the work among committees. The decorations were very appropriate for the occasion for in a dimly lighted room cornstalks, jack o’ lanterns, black cats, witches and a fire-place gave the supernatural touch. Some of the costumes worn, were very artistic, some laughable, some hideous, but all in keeping with the occasion. Many games had been prepared, and judging from the cries of surprise issuing from the building they were true Hallowe’en games. All ghosts and goblins proved mortal when refreshments appeared. Superfluous head dress was laid aside and we again knew our fellow school-mates. A Hard Time Party. The Freshies were asked to give a party but because of their timidity they hailed with a sigh of relief every excuse that pre- sented itself. The Sophomores, now confident, decided to show them how easy it really was. A Hard Time Party was planned. Yes; it was plan- ned and given the same day. It was not as elaborate as the Hallowe’en Party for no decorat- ing was done and the entertainment consisted of games suggested at the party. It was a Hard Time Party, but a Hard Time Party in name only for no one had a hard time enjoying themselves. School Picnic. The last but not the least activity of our Sophomore year was the bird parade and School Picnic. Not only the Sophomores but anyone in the school was at liberty to enter it. The costumes were made in the Domestic Science Department, by painting the picture of a bird head on stiff paper and then sewing the two sides to- gether. This we wore over our heads, and what a stunning picture we did make, as we paraded up and down the streets. Some were disguised as canaries, others as robins, blue birds, etc. The little folks gave a bird play on the picnic grounds. Birds, beetles, rab- bits, and frogs all helped to make it a grand success. —A. M. and R.

We know it would not have been the great success that it was had it not been for Mr. Newlun’s untiring efforts in advising us. planning for us, practising with us and helping us in every way possible. In appreciation of Mr. Newlun’s help we donated part of the proceeds to help pay for the office furniture in the new building. The Junior—Senior Reception. The Junior—Senior Reception was given the 20th of May 1916. We were the first Junior class of our school to give a banquet in honor of the Seniors. With the help of Miss Cooper, the Domestic Science Teacher, the Junior girls planned and prepared a four course banquet. At 7 o’clock the Faculty, the Seniors and the Juniors, with the aid of hand painted place cards, found places around a beautifully decorated T shaped table, in the Domestic Science room. The Freshmen girls did the serving and did it nicely too. Toasts, prepared and extemporaneous were given and all would have been loath to leave had they not known that there were other pleasures awaiting them. Although we as Juniors had laughed at the Freshmen’s blunders and Sophomore’s self-confidence still we could not leave them out of our good time entirely. After the ban- quet the entire High School assembled in the H. S. assembly room for a party. DqOI KALEVA LA Fourth Year Activities. The sixth day of September 1916 arrived and not much to our sorrow as it was the day for which we had waited so patiently. At last we could enter the High School as Seniors. From the very first day we could see that this school year was to be different from all others. For three years we had been re- quired to take the same subjects, now there was a choice, and we began to take different paths. Just one half the school year had fled before we could enter the new building, an event to which we had long been looking forward. The moving took us only one day. This enforced again upon our minds that there was a man of system at the head. But we did not forget the old building for the evening of mov- ing day we had a Farewell there for the sake of past memories. The first great event which took place in our new building was the Carnival. The idea was novel and pleasing. With the joint efforts of the pupils and teachers, this event was a success, socially and financially. Soon after this the Junior Banquet and From took place in the Curtis Hotel and High School Gymnasium respectively. The Jun- iors are to be complimented on the way they carried out the event as it was enjoyed very much by everyone, especially the Seniors in whose honor it was given. On the 14th of February under the instructions of Miss Kohler and Miss Cooper, we gave a German Program. The most important activities of our Senior year, yes, of our entire school career, are yet to come. With such a brilliant past who could predict anything but great events connected with our Graduation. —H. B., C. M. and L. H. 85) VALA l_DC School Alphabet A is for Algebra, the Freshie’s delight.

The Literary Societies During the school year 1915-—16 two Literary Societies were organized, which proved of value both educationally and as a re- creation. The student body was divided into two parts and membership was compulsory. Alma Steidtmann and Laura Hambrecht were the respective presidents of the two societies. Two committees were appointed to plan programs. Musical selections, debates, readings and recitations made up the programs. Girls’ Glee Club In the fall of 1916 a Girls’ Glee Club was organized with Miss Cooper as director. The purpose of the club is to make music a more important factor in school life. The Club elects as its members girls who are interested and who can pass the vocal examination given by the director. The Glee Club made its first public appearance at the Christ- mas program given in the High School. They are now preparing nn operetta to be given sometime in May. =@ m ATHLETICS m m WKAIEVALA History of Sauk City High School Athletics From a Girl’s View Point During our first year in High School the girls seemed more athletic than during the past three years. When the weather was good some went out to play basket hall. Miss Norris proved a very able coach as results showed. During the fall and spring several games with out of town teams were played. In our Sophomore year we were without a coach so soon lost interest in our team and contented ourselves in watching the boys play base ball. But everything has its limited time of existance it seems and soon tennis was “ the game Everyone wanted to play, and all at the same time. The court was in use all spare time from morning until night. By the third year even tennis had lost its charm. But with an athletic man at the lead the boys took hold of what they call “ real sports In the fall of 1915 every boy in High School took part in the Field Meet. Here the boys proved that they were not only in- terested in Athletics but that they had real athletic ability. High- est honors in the Field Meet were awarded to Sauk City and three of the boys received Medals for individual work. The past year has been the banner year for Athletics. The boys did well in foot ball but better in basket ball. With the new Gymnasium athletics became a real pleasure. The girls became interested and basket ball teams were organized. Was it pressing duties or conciousness of the Senior dignity that kept all but two of the twelve Senior girls away from practise ? But no one showed lack of interest when a game was played. After reviewing the past we look into the future with the assurance that it will be bright and successful. —L. M. % Athletic Association The Athletic Association of the Sauk City High School is com- paratively a new organization. Although its history covers an in- terval of only one year it has been a great factor in the life of the school. The regulations which govern participants in any athletic event are very rigid. The aim is to establish in the student a proper relationship between athletics and school enterprise in general. No one is permitted to play on a team who is not up in his regular school work or who does not show the prope • spirit toward his fellow athletes and to the school. This year athletics have won a prominent place in school life. To faithful, consistent individual effort and to co-operation, this progress is due. The excellent school spirit, our new gymnasium, the support given by interested citizens and the untiring efforts of Mr. Maitland and the manliness, vigor, spirit and true sportsman- like conduct shown by our representatives, are all factors that have contributed greatly to the success of the year’s athletics. Clean playing, fair and square fighting, playing with a deter- mination to win until the very last second of the game, and taking defeat or victory nobly, mark a player as a gentleman and a person of good character. These have been the attributes of our High School players. Athletics from this standpoint alone would be worth while and add much to the development of a better school. Perhaps one of the greatest causes of our success in athletics is the true High School spirit. This spirit was much in evidence during the year, and served to give stimuli to the different lines of athletic work. Here is the place where every student, both large and small, can help make things a success. Those who are •'hie. can help by touch-downs, scores or baskets; many, however, cannot help in this way, but everyone can show true Hi Hi School spirit and encourage the players and give them the needed sup- port. We have done much in this line by good rousing cheers and song. But there can be more done, and if accomplished, will give new impetus and greater life to our athletics. Athletics during the first year in our new building, have cer- tainly been a grand success. A high standard has been raised for those in the future classes to excel. But from the knowledge and experience gained by the players this year and from the promising material in the lower classes, we may safely conclude that the ideal will be nearly reached and that athletics in the Sauk City High School will be a far greater success than ever before.

KAI b VA] LA, -i nrm, YM The New High School Building It was a happy day when we heard the glad news that we were to have a new High School building. How thankful we are to the public spirited people of Sauk City who have made this possible. With interest and eagerness we watched the commencement, progress and completion of this new building which so changed our school-environment. Had the building sprung up during the three months of vacation we could not have appreciated it as we do. For three months we were daily witnesses of the great amount of work connected with a structure of this kind. But not until we had moved into it did we fully recognize the many advantages and conveniences that had been planned for us. Moving day was a day indeed. Excitement, expectation and eagerness reigned in the old assembly room until school called. A few directions from Mr. Newlun; an insight into his systematized plan and we were suddenly transfered with our books in the new assembly room. The remainder of the day was spent in a few practical lessons in the care of the building. If any one did not know how to polish, or sweep, they learned it before night. And the following day ! Perhaps it can best be described by imagining a Westerner who has lived on the vast plains all his life, suddenly transfered to New York City. Curious were the incidents which took place — such as a Freshman going to recitation and modestly walking in upon the Senior class; the members of the faculty having to give directions as to the location of certain rooms. Nor was the confusion limited to students alone. One mem- ber of the faculty in his search for the Physics laboratory entered the History and German room. Not wanting to be laughed at many went upon a tour of in- vestigation, some coming to school early, and some staying late for the purpose. One Sophomore had a neat plan in the back of an assignment book, showing the definite location of each room and the time she was due at the different places. Thus by various means it became fixed in students’ minds that the Mathematics, History, English, Commercial and Physics rooms were all on the second floor. On the first floor were the assembly room, library and office. Domestic Science room and teachers rest room, and directly below the assembly room was the Gym, while another part of this floor was the Manual Training room. Everyone has found in this new place a home second only to their individual home. They enjoyed being in it, especially the Freshmen, who were and still are rather loathe to leave it. But they are not the only ones who appreciate it. The Seniors look forward with regret to the day when they must leave and almost envy the lower classmen who have the privilege of its use for a longer period. To the people of Sauk City who gave us this beautiful home vn ns students owe our heart-felt thanks. Because of its merits the place in so short a time has become very dear to us. —L. M.

The freshmen forgot they are in High School. We can stay out of school whenever we care to. We always get an excuse for being tardy. We all take part in singing in general exercise. We never talk in the halls. We all do love our teachers and the cards they shuffle out. We have dances every Friday evening. Valeska Habermann is going to teach. Raymond Brilliott can’t lead a yell. Mr. Newlun still supports his hairlip. Raymond Lueth wears size two shoe. Miss Pitts loves to dance. All High School girls must be in by ten o’clock. 0. Dresen still monopolizes the porch-swing on J. Meiers porch. Ernest H.—“ I’ve had a promotion; I’m draft clerk for Mr. Newlun. Another Soph.—“ How’s that? ” Ernest H.—“ Why, I open and shut the windows in the mathe- matics room.” First Soph. Girl—“ Do you ever use slang? ” Second Soph. Girl—“Nit. My maw would bifr me one on the beak if I ever made a stab at any dope like that, kid.” Teacher—“ What is a triangle? ” Hubert G. “ A square with a side knocked out. Snap Shots Advertisements Wanted—something for my big head. H. Leinenkugel. Wanted—a graft with the teachers. H. Bowman. Wanted—a cure for giggles. Florence Dresen. Wanted—From some merchant in town, a pair of shoes that will never squeak. Mr. Newlun. Wanted—a ticket to the Leap Year Dance. Leo Weiss. Wanted-—something to keep people from hearing everything I have to say. Bernice Karberg. W'anted—a new comb. Edwin Schoephoerster. Wanted—more nerve. Lucille Mettel Wanted—some new styles. Irene Brilliott. Wanted—a good deportment. Emma Strobel. Wanted—a new machine to work Physics problems. Mr. Mait- land. For sale—a vacuum. Some of the Freshmen. For sale-—Notebook. Seniors. Soph.—“ I'm studying my best to get a head.” Sen or “Heaven knows you need one.” Miss Cooper—“ What is the purpose of the gills of an oyster7 ” Kuby—“So it can swim.” 1st Junior—“How many olives did Maitland eat at the Prom?” 2nd Junior “ I counted 50 and then lost track.” Wouldn’t You Like to Know? Why Lilah goes to Madison every Saturday? Why Leone and Ruth went to the depot Feb. 19, 1917? Why we can’t use the new school-house for a play house? Why Christina does not come to school Monday mornings? Why Lillian H. moved so near New Chicago? Why Edna is so shy? Why Marcus has no control over his feet? Why Emil M. went to Springfield Feb. 9th? If anyone will be angry at the jokes in “ Kalevala ”? How long it takes Amelia to do her hair? Who put the dummy on the flag staff? Who broke the mirror in the laboratory? (Watch out who has bad luck.) Who tampered with the electric wires? If the readers will be as thankful when they reach this point as the editors are? Why Sauk lost the basket ball game at Arena? Why is the mouse that be? Freshman—“ Have you seen Meta A.? ” Other Freshman— No, she isn’t at school yet. Bernice is alone in the hall. Miss Cooper “ What stitch is used for fish? ” Seraphine S. “ I suppose the herring hone stitch.” Ella—“ Walter, is this box of candy for me? ” Walter—Oh no, that is for your uncle.” When the Frost is on the Pumpkin (With apologies to the author.) When the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder’s in the mow And the hungry hog is calling to his tootsy-wootsy Frau. And the hens are in the hennery, laying eggs to beat the band, Wall it’s then I am the gladdest, merriest Reuben in the land. For the sun is shinin’ brightly in the ol’ sassy way, And the cellar’s full o’ taters and the barn is full o’ hay And I’m full o’ cider, hard as granite, I’ll allow. When the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder’s in the mow. Thar’s somethin’ kinder double like about the things I see, I see a dozen buildings whar thar’s only two or three. By gosh! I ain’t no quitter—fill the tumbler to the brim— I'll gulp it down, by ginger, though my sight’s a gettin’ dim. I’m done with my fall plowin’, an’ the threshin’s over, too, And so I might as well tank up a little — wouldn’t you? So give us—hie—anuzzer shwig—lesh drive dull care away, When f-fro-frosh is on—hie—punkin’ and cidersh in ja-jay. Why High School Students go Crazy A typewriter is one who typewrites on the typewriter, and the typewriter is a machine on which the typewriter who typewrites on the typewriter typewrites. Now, the typewriter who type- writes on the typewriter typewrites on the typewriter until there is no more typewriting to be typewritten by the typewriter on the typewriter on which the typewriter typewrites.

Thou shalt not wait for someone else’s note book to be finished but thou shalt pull off thy coat and go to work and make thine own note book. 2. Thou shalt not go about thy business with too much friv- olity. Thou shouldst keep in mind the solemnity of High School life and shun such things. 3. '1 hou shalt not try to make excuses when thou art called into the office or shalt say, “ I did not think ”. Thou shouldest have thought even though that thought had killed thee. 4. Thou shalt not wait to be told what to do when thou art at the board in Arithmetic. But thou shalt go right ahead and do it that thy days may be short therein. 5. Thou shalt not fail to look out for No. 1; but thou shalt not be boggish in thy looking. 6. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors fountain pen, pencil, theme paper, red ink, metal edged ruler nor shalt thou fail to come to class with out some of thine own. 7. Thou shalt not plan too abundantly for thy class parties nor shalt thou contract any debts until thou hast the cash to pay for it. 8. Thou shalt not be afraid to recite thy oral theme before the class for whosoever faileth in this will find himself lacking. 9. I hou shalt not hesitate to say no when thy business de- mands that thou sayest no; but beware, do not get thy business and thy personal likes mixed. 10. Thou shalt not doubt the wisdom of the faculty. This is the last and great commandment and there is no other like onto it. KALEVA Under Classmen’s Letters to Santa What is all the stir and bustle about these days, especially among the Freshmen? One could make a shrewd guess; they are writing their letters to Christ Kringle. It is really astonishing, the number of orders they expect Santa to fill. We know because the Seniors have been asked to help this year by taking charge of all the letters from Under Classmen to Santa. I am going to give you a few to give you an idea of the desires, ideals and characteristics of some of our school mates. Dear Mr. Santa Claus:— Sauk City, Wis., Dec. 1st, 1916 I am a little boy who must play the piano for marching at school. Please bring me an automatic piano player. Also bring me tw'enty pairs of skates, so many girls want to go skating with me. Nestor Dresen High School, Sauk City, Wis. Just after History Three recitation period. Dear kind Santa:— Dear Santa we will truly never doubt that you really exist if you will only bring us a book telling us how to think historically. We can’t find it any place in the dictionary or encyclopedia al- though Miss Pitts said you could find almost anything in one of these two. If you will please just favor us this once, Santa, we will be good ever after and try ever so hard to have good lessons in history so that Miss Kohler won’t look so sad. Signed Junior History Class Dear Santa: Please bring us an arithmetic answer book and the book “Quick Methods of Learning Short Hand.” Bring them before Christmas if you can. In haste, Walter and Emil Emil writes again that he wants a graphaphone so that his recitations can be heard. Walter says he can use one too. It would save much work if some one else would talk for the record. The Seniors suggest that perhaps both of these boys could use a new alarm clock to advantage. We get another peculiar letter from a Junior. Sauk City, Wis., U. S. A. (Don’t know the date.) Dear Old Santa:— Have you such a book that tells how to get over bashfulness? I’m not particularly troubled that way yet, but sometimes I kind of feel the symptoms and I thought I could prevent an attack. I don t know what I would do if I’d get bashful once. Your friend, Harold Bowman Sauk City. Wis., Dec. 3rd Dear Santa:— Please bring me 50 Wild West story books, a “merry-go-round” a real air-ship, and a musical motor cycle. The girls here think I’m quiet but I’m not. Sincerely yours, Gladys S. Lucile Mettel has asked for a jack-in-the-box to do the jump- ing for her. The High School would also appreciate this, for that at least we could set out in the hall when it gets too noisy. Listen to this extraordinary list of things Santa is to bring to a little maid who professes to be not at all greedy. Dear Santa:— Please bring me 1 dolly with real hair, a pink dress, a pair of rapni Ul M KALEVALA H shoes with a good squeak, a little tea set, a cradle, a buggy with a water-proof top, a play carpet-sweeper, and lots of candy, nuts and oranges and other good things to eat. Elizabeth wants the same. Hoping you have all these things, I will close. Helen Strobel Hut then Helen being the baby of the family is entitled to all of these things. Mabel asked for a doll too. Freshmen, yes, but they are still little girls. Here is another letter which shows what queer things some people will ask for. Dear Christ Kringle:— What I want most this year, is the green monkey that climbs a string, in at Billy’s place, on the second shelf to the left. Florence Dresen Some remarked that Florence had made a very good choice, of gifts, and some say, “Why does Florence want a monkey, isn’t she monkey enough? ” Tony’s heart desires nothing more than a fine fish-pole. This is only natural considering where he lives. As for Arthur Hutter, we couldn’t tell which he wants most, a Remington typewriter or a new incubator. Here is a Sophomore’s letter which Santa will surely answer in person. My dear Santa Claus:— Seeing that all our trials and troubles are the fault of the war and the Democrats, please bring me the “ Book of Jokes ” by C. H. You will find it on page 1495 in Sears Roebuck catalogue. Very truly yours, Marcus Back Dear me, is Mark afraid he will run out of jokes? We don't think there is much danger. The members of the Stenography class have asked old Santa to bring Miss Costello a new mouse trap, for she announced the other day, that there was a mouse in the other one. The same class and the teacher want Frank Curtis to have a 50 lb. box of sharp pointed Shorthand pencils this Christmas at all events. The Short- hand class suggests that Raymond B. get a new thinking cap to wear in class. Several members of the class could use a set of bridle blinds to wear while writing at the black-board, so that they may better live up to the motto: “ Look straight ahead”. It comes to my mind just now what several others especially wanted. Robert wants one of the new Ford autos for children. It costs only $4.50 and will just hold Robert. Of course it only runs downhill and that only in fair weather, but it will help some any- way. George wants a barrel of chocolate drops and a years subscrip- tion to the Wis. Agriculture Magazine. Good stories there, not so George? A great many books of various queer names are in demand this Christmas. For instance, Emma Strobel wants the latest edition of “ How to Visit in School Time Without Whispering”; Minna, Correct Etiquette Hedwig, “ True Interpretation of Dreams Night and Day Dreams”; and Bernice, “ Quiet Hours . Some of the pupils have suggested to Santa that they are not asking for presents for their parents, because the parents, on account of hard times this year, will be satisfied with gifts from the Domestic Science and Manual Training Departments. We wonder if the pre- ference has not another source. Some wrote to Santa that if the preference has not another source. Some wrote to Santa that if the new high school building cannot be finished soon he might bring a recitation room that could be hooked onto the old building somewhere so that classes would not need to recite in the assembly room. As for the Seniors, they one and all want the book, How to learn Physics without applying your brains, and a model set of locomotives, steam engines, electrical supplies, pulleys, formulas, and everything else that makes the subject easy. This gives you a slight idea of our task of sorting, classifying and sending letters. We only hope that we have not neglected sending any letters, the granting of which would help make Ibis a better school.

An institution can be no larger than the man behind it. A home run can’t be made on a one base hit, nor fair-play called on a foul. The Wonderful Success of This Store is based on over a quarter century of business integ- rity and honor of the highest character.

Made at the SACK CITY ROLLER MILLS Sauk City - Wisconsin The Success of the “K ALEV ALA” is in no small measure due to the Quality of Stafford Engravings and the character of Stafford Co-operation In making this statement, we have no desire to take any credit from the editorial staff in fact we feel that it is all the more to their credit that they realized the superior quality of Stafford engravings and that they so thoroughly appreciated the value of Stafford co-operation. Years of specialization have made the Stafford organization unusually expert in engraving and designing for college and school publica- tions. The most modern shop equipment gives us every facility for prompt production of qual- ity etchings, halftones and color plates. Stafford halftones are made by the famous Levy acid-blast process, which gives a cleaner, deeper and sharper etch than the tub method generally used.
