Qrcshmnu Glass When I entered the doors of Tama High School as a freshman, last fall, I went through those por- tals with an air of curiosity and expectancy. I was curious about what I was going to do, and I was expecting something if I didn't do it right. Those first few weeks were hectic. I had to run for classes, and excuses, to me, were a puzzle. Gradually, these puzzling things became clearer, and I settled down to my first lap on the track to higher learning. In algebra and science I became acquainted with equa- tions and formulas. Budgets became a word that meant something after a few months in business train- ing. Also I still worked on those same darn verbs, nouns, etc., in English, High school became fasci- nating, more or less. At least it drew me to it every morning at eighty-thirty. I was attracted by the outside activities in high school. land some of my fellow freshmen entered in athletics and music and some of us got to play in a few football games and sit in with the band. Those high school parties were swell, and I honestly believe that there was less hazing or initiating this year than ever before in Tama. In fact, I think I'm going to enjoy my next three years in high school. The class officers are: President, Bill Robeson: Vice-President, Iohn Nelson: Secretary, Marjorie Earnest: Treasurer, Robert Sadler.

Paul Richert wash Last year when I heard that our Coach wasn't going to be back, I wondered if we were going to be able to get a new coach. Some time before school started I heard that a coach had been hired and immediately I began to wonder what he would be like. As you all know his name is Paul Rickert. His home is in Napierville, Illinois. He attended Dubuque University, from which he graduated in 1943 with a B. A. degree. He was captain and star of Dubuque's undefeated football team in 1942. We knew this was his first year as a coach, but after the first few weeks of the season we discovered that he showed the ability and understanding of a much more experienced coach. With a few boys of experience he molded a very good football team and had a much better team than was expected in basketball. We also found that he's a first rate teacher as well as an excellent coach.
