THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Senior Class History On September 7, 1910, the class of 1914 entered the T. H. S. sixty-three strong. The first year of our life may be likened to the histories of Nations. It is crude and fabulous, some parts even myth- ical. We struggled for existence, some of our members had a fatal attack of Algebra and failed to live to see the rising sun of a Sophomore life. For a few days, we wandered aimlessly about, rivalling the grass in our greenness. Two got into the 8th grade, one stayed in his seat in the main room for a week and at Christmas, some of the boys got mixed with the girls, but in a short time we were able to find the right class at the right time without the help of the upper classmen and moved about without fear of the Seniors. After about ninety nine meetings in which Mr. Bray threatened to send for Co. K., we elected Chas. Wright president and decided to have a candy-pull. Donald Compton and Gertie Kress still have some of the candy in their hair. In the winter we gave a dance and a roller skating party. Charles Wright won a place on the foot-ball team, Will Nuzum on the base-ball, and Donald Compton second place in the boys declamatory contest. One event to be remembered was the fight with the Sophs for the pail. They got the water, but not the pail; Charles Wright was the hero. As Sophs, we were fifty-four strict and law-abiding citizens, who never loitered in the halls, laughed or grouped on the stairs, always studied during school hours and never whispered in a class room. In that year the Domestic Science and Manual Training Departments were installed under the supervision of Miss Soukup and Mr. Evers- meyer. Of course we all took one or the other of these practical subjects. Alvin Bongers even tried his hand at sewing. We worked hard, and in spite of Commercial Geog. led the school in standings the last nine weeks. We also afforded amusement to the other classes, not ourselves, by rhetorical programs. In this line Alva Doten and Luella Reynolds proved themselves to be regular J ack Barrymorets and Anna Held,s. We also edited a paper called the ttSoph, from Which the class of 1912 got much material and assistance for their Annual. , In 1912, we came back full of hope and courage. Eight of the T men were of our class. We won the class Championships in basket-ball and base-ball. Compton and Reinhard helped defeat La Crosse in debate. We have the distinction of being the Iirst Junior Class to win the Rowland,s Cup, and we have high hopes of winning it again. The greatest social event was the Junior Prom which was well attended. Toward the end of the year, we took a farewell trip to Spring Bank. There was more enjoyment at the . 16
