Seninr 31-Iiatnrg We, the class of '15, clothed with all the dignity of Seniors, glance with feelings of mingled amusement and regret back over our High School days. On September 4, 1911, we entered the Tomah High School. Many of us did not know which door to enter or where to go after we had succeeded in entering. We were shown a large assembly room by our upper classmen where after much trouble, we were all fortunate enough to secure seats. Next we listened to a host of rules and regulations by Mr. Bray. In attempting to find our classes we were lost several times before we found the right rooms, much to the amusement of the other classes. A class meeting was soon held at which Puck was chosen president, Maxwell vice-president, and Fitz secretary and treasurer. Of these officers only one-Fitzpatrick-has lived to tell the tale. The upper classmen gave us much advice and warning, but we had little time to listen to them for Algebra, English, Latin were getting difficult. Everyone said that we were as green as grass but nevertheless, we won the class championship in basketball, had two men on the football, basketball and baseball teams. During the year We also gave two dances which were a grand success. The following fall we returned to the old High School somewhat decreased in numbers, but very much greater in importance. The class of '16 looked and acted very green to us. In the first class meeting Puck was again chosen President, Strachan Vice-President, and Fitz Secretary and Treasurer. Seven made the football team, four the basketball team, one the debating team, and one alternate. The Girls' declamatory Contest was Won by our class. The next year, 1913, we came back still more decreased in numbers 20 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL but more than balanced in importance. Fitz was chosen President, Strachan ViceePresident and Morgan Secretary and Treasurer. We copped the basketball championship again after an unusual number of elimination games, had eight on the football team, four on the basketball team, one on debating and one alternate. In May We gave the annual prom which was a grand affair. This fall we entered high school for the last time. Many F reshies as green as the Emerald Isle were wandering around. We gave them much hard learned advice. Morgan was chosen President, Meinecke, ViceAPresident, and Gleason Secretary and Treasurer. In October a HalloWe'en Party was given. We were represented by eight men on the football team, four on the basketball and four on the debating teams, with one alternate. We on second place in class basket-ball, though We were not well rep- resented. Our last days in high school were saddened by losing the much prized RoWland's Cup to the greatly inferior Juniors. As freshmen, we numbered eighty-six: we graduate with fifty-one, the largest class in the history of the Tomah High School. -GEO. GLEASON. Ik Dk Pk Ellie Qunnr ZRnll Qillimerirksl A maiden named DOROTHY KYLE, Did study an awful pile, Her name will long be In Memoriamf For of this class she's the valedictorian. ! A young lady blonde from Sparta came, To our beloved Tornahg MILDRED REINHARD is her name, She sure earned her diploma. WILLIAM MORGAN We should honor, As a hero in the class. There's no boy in the Honor Roll, Who his standing could surpass. Listen children, and you shall hear, Sweet strains of a piano, as you draw near, It isn't Paderewski or a European born 'Tis only a fair maiden who we know as MAIRGARET WARREN A maiden who's forever talking, We have her in this listg 4 Can't you guess it? IRENE ELDRIDGE, By her hair she can't be missed. RUTH BORCHERT is right there With bells, THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL When in the distance she spies one WELLS With him to everything she goes, As nearly everybody knows. LAURA ACHTENBERG sure must study, For she always knows it all, Her hand in the class is always waving, Whether it's winter, spring or fall. Always in a hurry scurry, Is our friend Miss AGNES MURRAY, She hurries here, and hurries there, Never satisfied with fair. A maid named EUNICE UEBRLR, In our girls Glee Club did sing, You'd think 'twas Madam Patti, To hear her sweet voice ring. IZORA RATCLIFFE, another Senior, Went through High School in three years, How she did it is a problem, I, in four, have had my fears. QFoamJ When our notorious class departs, This school will feel a loss, If you should wonder what it is Just think of MABEL MAUSE. JOSEPH DREPS, his first two years, Did average ninety-five, But when he took the teachers' course, His standings took a dive. Though FRANK MEINECKE studies hard, And sometimes curls his hair, The debates in which that boy took part, Show, that he is right there. The star of our Senior basketball team, Is a guy named CARLIE FICK, When he cuts loose with his Fogarty steam The other teams look sick. A shark in short-hand, sure is she, Who? LOTTIE ROOT of course, Every day she has her transcript, And so leads Peterman's force. If anyone who reads this junk, Gets peeved and calls it very punk, Just pick on HORATIO MURRAY, He's the Chief of Staff of this great bunch So the rest of us should worry. 7 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL A lad named LEON MCMULLEN, When with Elizabeth, never is sullen: He an ambassador is sure to be, As we in later years shall see. NoRvA RICHARDS a studious maiden, Also finished this year, She is surely knowledge laden, And of her flunking we have no fear. RUTH EBERDT twin to Rexford Is a very quiet lass. Nevertheless this Warrens maiden Always does respond in class. MINNIE YEAGEP. a maiden small, Has great love for a freshman, tall, She is a Senior who's not dignified, As her love for this freshman has signified GEORGE GLEASON a debater, Surely is no woman-hater, He went to Marshfield to debate, And there that boy did meet his fate. EDWIN FITZPATRICK, another debater, Certainly is no second rater, He led the High School cheering gang, And in our Senior quartet sang. We're proud she's in this Senior class, RUTH PETERSON a stately lass, In Physics she is hard to beat, To star in that is sure a feat. To report f'or a Tomah paper, Is certainly going some, With his Buick he does caper, BON GRISWOLD known as Krum. A maid named ROSALINE KUPPER Entered school four years ago, She graduates with us this year, So she can't be very slow. RUTH DIEMER a pretty maiden, She smiles at very few, For the love with which she's laden Is for a Freshman at the HU. A queen named LETAH SCHLEISNER Graduates with this class, She's never flunked in anything So she could'nt help but pass. THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL BERNICE MARVIN came from Mather To go to our High School, Now she's going back to Mather And teach the Mather School. A girl named GERTRUDE LINEHAN Will next year in school be missed For the very simple reason That she's in the famous list. ARTHUR YEAGER, alias Dutch, For this school did very muchg He's played football every year No more will other teams him fear RALPH NEAL, from near-by Oakdale Joined our great bunch this year He's popular with the female ALTA DEWEY nicknamed Jap, Went through school but 'twas no snap She'll go back to Mather now, Grow cranberries and be a Frau RAY FORREST our Yankee, Has the whitest of white hair. His eyes and whole complexion Are like the Norseman fair. ELMER DAMEROW, six feet four, Hardly can pass through the door He's come directly from the farm And never has done any harm. GRAY STRACHAN never's wrong Always right there with a song. He will fight till you take flight To protect Wright with his might GLADYS LAMB a country maiden Will be missed from school awhile She too, long will be remembered For her bright and pretty smile WILL EARLE plays in the German Band He sure hits minor chordsg He does not own an auto But he rambles in the Fords. With roguish blarney in her eyes NELLIE LINEHAN, in class, does rise She has Killarney on her face She must belong to the famous race And is there at hunting the dear THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL LYLA BATES should live in Sparta, For she has an interest there, She's the belle of Brindleville, And she likes midnight air. His feet are big and he is tall, Nothing about him that is small, REXFORD EBERDT is his name, At football he has won great fame. When LESTER LARSEN mounts his steed And shouts to it Gid dap, As a horseback rider Paul Revere, Is backed way off the map. If looking for a German shark You in this large class should hunt You'll find one who has made his mark, His name is WILL TRABANT. DAN RAGAN now of Tunnel City, On the teachers takes no pity g He argues with them all the day, Until they know not what to say. A little boy named MARLYN JENKINS, Can't behave a single day, He has to poke the girl behind him Or the guy across the way. NONA CHAPMAN is one who wears our pin She's worked four years that pin to wing She leaves the High School now forever, But her friendship for it she'll never sever ROY BENJAMIN is our football star He sure can gain the ground, But in that dope, stenography, He is not to be found. MABEI, ANDERSON was in no hurry, To complete her high school course, She said, Oh, I should worry, I'll enlarge the '15 force. MARIE GRAHAM we shall not forget, Graduates with this class, you bet, She's as quiet a lass as ever you've met, Not very tall, but heavy-set. FRANK STELLINGS of the '14 class, Liked not that bunch so he did not pass, He waited for our illustrious crew, Like Mabel, graduates with us too. ELIZABTEH HALE not a maiden small, Weighs two-seventy-two or nothing at all. She's a mighty lass in a mighty class, And we are glad to have her pass. CLASS OF 1915--SIXTH GRADE Little Acoms Grown all Oaks From UT SS IUNIOR CLA jjuninr Qllasz Qistnrg While duly recorded as a Freshman class of T. H. S., entering Sept. 7, '12, we never really entered H. S. We were deprived of that moist and delicate initiation into the Csupposedly heavenly Dsphere of High School life, a ducking in the time honored ducking hole. We, as a Fresh- man, had every right to expect that baptism, and looked forward with fearful expectation to the day when we should be subjected to that painful pleasure and finally be welcomed half-drowned and wholly unlovely, into the midst of our immediate predecessors. Gadzooks and egad! Who suspected that they were such a lot of hypocrites, accepting us-though as it was, Without a duckingewith words of hon- eyed sweetness, that, once within their toils, we should furnish, through our own errors, sorrows, and misfortunes, refreshing entertainment to them. Though denied our rightful heritage the Hduckingn- presumably considered the froshs first draught at the fountain of learning-we soon realized that we were Freshmen according to all the rules and regulations, for the Sophs, in keen remembrance of the indignities thrust upon them, tried to wash away all remembrance of those under-dog days in our innocent blood. With faces sober and voices earnest they directed us to English, 2-3-4, to Physics, Geom., and Political Economy, and with apparently all good intentions, assisted us to rise when Mr. Bray asked, How many are going to take solid Geometry, or advanced Algebra? Being of more than average intellect however, it is certain that no Freshman was the goat more than once, despite other classes assertions to the contrary. By reason of this superior intellect we became accustomed to the daily routine in a space of time for shortness unparalled. A desire then filled us for new things, and the third week we held a class meeting-- conspicuous for the order maintained and the parliamentary manner of procedure-and selected class officers. Naturally sober-minded, it was not until October 27 that we held a meeting to discuss the giving of a dancing party. The class was practically unanimous in favor of giving such a party. Delayed by Mr. Bray until after exams, the dance was finally held on the 15th of December. As a failure it wasa glorious success. About a dozen Freshmen were on hand, and perhaps six or eight guests? tWe begged fellows, with tears in our eyes, to do their duty toward keeping us out of debt.j The class went in debt about four dollars, which debt was paid March 28, 1913. What would you say, Some Class Spirit! ? Our social activities for the year were ended. For the remainder of the year we did naught but study? study? study.? Thus passed the Freshman class of 1912-13, a class of seventy-five, adored by teachers and cherished in the memories of the other classes, a class of unlimited possibilities, which, alas! were to remain undeveloped. When we entered High School as Sophomores, somewhat lessened in numbers, we determined to make it a lively year. The trimming which 28 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL the Sophomore football team gave the all stars , was an excellent start. Thru very bad luck, we lost our lead in the class race for the basketball championship, and were relegated to second place. Not a mention of a party was made until sometime late in April, or May. Then plans were made for a picnic. Everything went lovely until the day before the spree, when by ones, twos and threes, girls and fellows, Cmostly girlsj withdrew their support, until the picnic, for want of grub and silver contributions, languished and passed away. 'Twas doubtless discovered that the picnic would interfere with the perfect preparation of studies for the following Monday. In a few days summer vacation began, for which we were all duly thankful, being on the verge of nervous prostration, as a result of our year of almost unceasing dissipation. Entering as Juniors in the fall of 1914, no plans were made to set the world on fire. Every one was preoccupied with thoughts of arran- ging the program satisfactorily, of taking as many subjects as possible, and of the possibilities of getting thru German, Geometry and Cicero. It seems certain that the only party which will be given this year is the Prom. Despite the economy which we are informed we must practice, the Prom is bound to be a great success. Elaborate and uni- que plans have been formed for the decorating of the hall. Although our economy basis forces us to give up the larger hall which has generally heretofore been used for the Prom, we believe that this years Prom will come up to, if not surpass, the standard set by previous Junior Promenadesf' For the first time it is believed, in the history of the Prom in the Tomah High School, a vote has been taken on whether or not to abolish dancing from the program. The anti-dancing movement was defeated 36 to 12. ' Surviving this danger it is certain that when this Annual comes out, the Prom will have been the success it always is. No struggle was made this fall for the class football championship, which, of course the Juniors would have won, hands down. But they did walk off with the class championship basketball honors. Doubtless the baseball championship is likewise ours. This year will witness a new economy plan carried forth in con- nection with the Prom. Definite limits have been set for us as to the expense to be incurred. Until we complete our history in a Who's Who of our own, our history remains partially yours f the class of '16. HGINH ..

SOPHOMORE CLASS Svnphumnre Gilman Biztnrg We, the illustrious class of '17, entered school September 5, 1913, and have the name of being the only Freshman class in history that made no mistakes. After a few days of school, a meeting was held in Room I for the purpose of electing class officers. After much disagreement, Royal Kilmer was elected President, Lillian Eldridge ViceePresident, and Helen Madden Secretary and Treasurer. Contrary to the general rule, we usually stood at the head of classes instead of the foot. Quite a number of the Freshmen could not stand the strenuous life of studying and so quietly dropped out. The next year we came back as Sophomores, fully prepared to help the Freshmen in their first few days of school. A Senior had remarked that the green was wearing off which made us feel so much more efficient. On the morning of the first day the usual skirmish to draw seats occurred, some getting up at three o'clock in order to be here in time to draw before the rush. tThe Freshmen were found so green that they were put in a room by themselvesl Soon study courses were straigh- tened out and we settled down to work. One of the first things we did was to call a class meeting for the election of ofiicers. Of course everybody responded, not because of class patriotism but because of curiosity. Out of the sixty odd people nominated, Robert Bentzen was finally elected President, Reginald McNutt, Vice President, and Lucile Kyle, Secretary and Treasurer. Of course, some of the most frivolous wanted parties, but most of the Sophs were so serious minded that they did not dare risk their dignity by parties, and so, as the majority ruled, we have had no parties. At the beginning of the second semester many of the Sophomores left us, and went down to the SubeAssembly-not because they had to but because they wanted to. By means of rhetoricals we furnished fun all the year for the Seniors, Juniors and Freshmen. The Seniors can doubtless remember when THEIR throats were so dry they could hardly talk, and THEIR knees shook so that they could scarcely stand. The Freshmen, too, may think it very amusing nowe-but their turn will come. Everybody predicts a brilliant future for the Sophomores. Just read of our deeds in next year's Annual.-A. H. G. FRESHMAN CLASS ilireahxxmn GHEI55 lliiatnrg As becomes the modest Freshman, our history will be short. Sep- tember '7 th was probably the bluest' dayiin theihistory of the Freshman Class of 1914--15. With trembling kneeswe entered the building and endured with patience the taunts and jibes of the higher classmen. ln addition to theSophomores false advice, these noble men reminded us that we should be seen and not heard and' that we were as green as they make 'emi' and a few other kind things. We drew our seats and were put in the sub-assembly room, much to' our chagrin. On enter- ing the high school, we had an enrollment of sixty-nine, every one having the emerald tint. We made a few minor mistakes, such 'as going into wrong classes or skipping them altogether, but as a Whole, we were a very bright set of Freshmen. l . Our first class meeting was a noted success, as Mr. Collinge notified us that if another one like the Hrst was held they would be ruled out of our class altogetherl At this meeting we elected- SHERMAN CRo'rY ..... ,r..,. s.,,, s.,... 1 ....,.,,,..... .,.., r,,s.,i,. .....,,..,r ....,.,ss........

Zilhe Shakespeare Pageant The Shakespearean festival for which the Tomah public schools had been prepar- ing throughout the school year, was given Wednesday afternoon. May 20, 1914, on the spacious campus of the High School, before an audience which it is estimated numbered two thousand five hundred. About five hundred pupils of the public schools took part in the program, presenting in costumes appropriate to Shakespeare's time, scenes from some of his great plays, also Shakespearean songs and choruses interspersed with games, drills and dances of that period. The exercises occupied a little over two hours. It was from the beginning to the end, a spectacle of rare beauty and every part of thc varied program gave delight to the great audience which witnessed it. The festival opened with a grand pageant of all the participants, starting at the rear of the high school building, marching across the athletic field to the sidewalk and thence to the lower part of the campus. Here the stage was set, where the slope of thc ground forms a natural amphitheatre and the spectacle could be viewed by all. Around the stage were grouped the various players, dancers et cetera, in costumes appropriate to their parts. The stage presented the courts of Queen Elizabeth and King James with his uuccn and their respective courts, who represented the period of the poet's life, during which he lived and wrote, and before whom the program was given. The scenes from Sha- kespeare were introduced to the court by William Shakespeare and the players of the old Globe Theatre, London. At the end of the Green Sleeve Dance, the dancers separated into two lines, be- tween which Queen Elizabeth led the reverse march, to the music of God Save the 36 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Queen. She was followed by the other groups in order, with the English flag at the head. Just as the procession reached the hill, the music changed to the Star Spangled Banner and the American flag was slowly raised on the Hag staff on the high school and the Old English Festival was at an end. This pageant was the first of the kind ever given in this part of the state. The plans adopted by the teachers were taken up along with the years work in English, music, etcetera. The pupils were taught the folk dances, games and drills during the school year, by the teachers who had had their instruction from Miss Ruth Hardy of the Hinman School Of Dancing, Chicago. The teachers and all concerned in this undertaking feel that the benefit and pleasure that the pupils received from actual knowledge gained will be a lasting inspiration to them in their school work and a foundation for interest in the world's best literature and dramatics. iirngx-am Elizabeth of England, 15584603 ............... .....

V f Binrensirs This year Tomah High School has proudly maintained its splendid record in debating. We are again Winners in the Western Wisconsin High School Forensic League and the debaters deserve an unusual amount of credit for the fine Work they have done. Both of our league debates were won by unanimous decisions, We being the first High School to win that distinction since the league was formed. During the first part of the debating season the teams were coached by Mr. Collinge, who gave them material aid in outlining the question, before leaving our High School to accept a position in the La Crosse High School. Miss Grace Rogue, of Portage, ably succeeded Mr. Col- linge as coach and to her is due a great deal of credit for continuing the work so successfully. The question submitted for the quadrangular debate: Re- solved, that the regular army of the United States should be increased to 500,000 men, was a decidedly live question of the day. In view of the present war in Europe, there was much agitation as to the advis- ability of increasing our army. There certainly was no lack of fine material for the debates, and on account of the ever-changing conditions in Europe, every one had a keen interest in the question. The Try-Out was held early in the fall and the following chosen for the two teams: Frank Meinecke, John Warren, Joseph McManamy, THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 41 Edwin Fitzpatrick, Ralph Neal and George Gleason. The first named three formed the team which debated at Sparta, the last three debated here with Viroqua. Feb. 19, 1915, the big debate came off and we were all much excited. The whole school went down to the station to give the team which went to Sparta a rousing, send off. Many loyal Tomahites accompanied the boys on their trip, and were there to do the cheering for Tomah High after the debate. The decision 340 for us was too good to be true, but it surely did our hearts good to see Sparta so completely crushed after the surprising decision against us last year. In commenting upon the debate at Sparta the editor of The Spartan wished to make it very clear that Sparta had no complaint to make, yet he failed to notice that he had just stated at least two causes for complaint. We have all heard from those who Were there what a brave fight the team put up under the generalship of Butch Meinecke with the able assistance of John Warren and Joseph McManamy. The debate here with Viroqua was a thrilling one and we had cause to be mighty proud of Fitz , Ralph Neal and George Gleason. The decision was easily unanimous for our team. Having Won two debates by unanimous decision Tomah High School was without question the champion in the league and was not to stop at that. In the semi-finals the teams debated with Menomonie and Marshfield. The affirmative team went to Marshfield and unfor- tunately was defeated by a unanimous decision for Marshfield. On the other hand, the negative team which debated Menomonie here won by a unanimous decision. All through the debates in the league and state the negative side of the question seemed to be the strong side, as well as the popular one with the public. Though we did not win in the semi- finals, yet we are very much satisfied to have won our place in the league. From the following may be seen the rating of the four members of the league for the past four years. Tomah La Crosse Viroqua Sparta 1912 5 1 3 3 1913 3 3 4 2 1914 4 4 0 4 1915 6 4 1 1 18 12 18 10 2-K Jliew Banquets fur the Behatrrs Meinecke-Enthusiasm and stick-to-it-iveness personified. Taking part in three debates in which Tomah High School received unanimous decisions gives him a record which no other man here has ever had. Warren-Capable of getting more facts and words into a ten minute speech than any man on the team. 42 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL McManamy-His pleasing voice and earnestness, rank him high as a debater. Fitzpatrick-When an Irishman is an orator, he is a great orator- that is the way we all feel about our Fitz whose pleasing personality and clever rebuttal have won such favor with judges and audiences. Neal-A quick thinker, and a fiery speaker, always willing to do his share of the work and always agreeable. Gleason-A steady worker, willing to take suggestions and quick to profit by them. junior-Senior Brhatvs fur the Bntulanifs Glup The Juniors have won the Rowland's Cup! While we Seniors are somewhat disappointed, yet we see no reason why the Junior Class should not have won it, considering the number of coaches each debating team had and their wealth of excellent debaters. The questions for debate this year were practical live questions of the day, and the debates, on the Whole, were most interesting and in many cases hard to decide. Owing to the feeling in the school caused by the decisions of judges there was much difficulty in getting outsiders to judge, a condition much to be deplored. Up to the last debate the points were very close, 16-24 in favor of the Juniors, so they did not have a dead walk away. The following are the questions and decisions for each debate: RESOLVED THAT: 1. A system of compulsory arbitration of industrial disputes should be established in the United States.

Athleiirz In looking over our records for the past year one cannot help but conclude that our athletics have been a decided success. We have met some of the largest schools of the state and defeated them. Altho we have won no championship, we have won a far greater prize and that is the good will and words of praise from all schools with whom we have con- tested. It is worth a great deal to say that we are interested in a school that stands for clean athletics and that can at the same time put forth a very creditable showing on the gridiron and on the basketball floor. We, friends and students of the Tomah High School, appreciate the loyalty and the spirit with which our teams have worked, the sacrifices they have made and the good sportsmanship they have displayed throughout the year. We are proud of all they have accomplished and can well be proud of the fact that we are their friends and schoolmates. COACH WITTHUHN QWHITD A man from Appleton Who knew his business, And kept the athletes going some. Mr. Witthuhn took up the task of directing our High School Ath- letics this year. He started in with vigor at the football squad last fall and built up a team second only to the La Crosse team tchampions of Wisconsin 1914.5 In the winter he took the basketball candidates, and gave them the third degree. He put out a winning team, and only for their hard luck they would have been represented at the Appleton tournament. Whit deserves a great deal of credit for his work, and we hope to see him back next fall.fR. H. B.'15 WILLIAM MORGAN CPERRYD An Englishman Whose knee Would from its socket flee. I Perry came out in the season of '14 for his first experience with the pig skin, and tackling dummy. At first he was placed at center, but being rather light, and quite fast, was removed from center and placed at left half, alternating with La Motte. Perry put up a great exhibition for a greenhorn at the game, and won admiration from all the fans as well as his team mates. He was forced to retire, however, before the closing of the season, by an injury to his knee received in the Winona game. ARTHUR YEAGER CDUTCHD A youthful might Always believing Might makes right. Dutch has played the grand old gridiron game for four years. FOOTBALL SQUAD THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 47 In his Freshman year he won admiration in securing a forward pass that greatly aided in defeating the strong Sparta eleven of 1912. Be- tween 1912 and '14, Dutch had hard luck, sometimes being on the in- eligible list. In '14 he came back stronger than ever and put upa great game at full back throughout the year. Dutch missed but one game during 1914 and that was on account of ineligibility. In Basket Ball Dutch could not be beaten as a forward. He always worked hard and did not need a shot gun with which to shoot baskets. Dutch is a burly Senior this year, and will leave his shoes behind him for someone else to fill. REXFORD EBERDT Qanxj He would always persist At the referee To shake his brawny fist. Rex finishes high school with two years of pig skin experience. He won his fame the first year he played by outplaying Gunderson, the La Crosse center. Rex could not come back the following fall on account of a pig skin business at home. He, however, came back in the fall of 1914 and resumed his old position at center. His one year at home gave him more beef with which to hit the pig chasers, and he certainly used it. His favorite pastime during a game was to run and hit his op- ponent in much the same manner as our modern freight engines back into a loaded freight car. He sometimes delighted in picking up the man with the ball, carrying him until he dropped it and then he would pick up the ball and go for a touchdown. FRANK MEINECKE KBUTCHD Our Fighting Dutchman Fiercer than any now, fighting Frenchman. Butch has been plugging with us hard for three years, and the last two years has made good. The strong point with Butch was that when his opponent slammed him alittle hard, he would put on his Kaiser Wilhelm face and scare the poor fellow to death. If this tack did not work Butch would shoot into his opponent so hard that he would think that he had been struck by a cannon ball. If Butch goes away to school he sure will make good. The only thing that can keep him from being a varsity guard is the hole in his right side. GEORGE GLEASON His stub and his rub Made his opponent Look like a dub. George came out to win honors on the gridiron in his sophomore year and did fine work in spite of his late beginning. He came back 48 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL the following fall, and plugged hard, and won the coveted HT. George, however, really won his honor and praise during his senior year. He played guard throughout the season, and never was in danger of losing his position. In the La Crosse and Winona games George's opponent looked as though he had been the target for a mad and infuriated bull. George is a man that the team will greatly miss, and their only wish is, that they could have him in the 1915 line-up. GRAY STRACHAN CSTRACHIEQ A short little fellow, But never showing, One strip of yellow. Strachie came out for football honors in his Freshman year and he was just as big then as he is now. He played at half-back during his first season and alternated that position and end, for the remaining three years. Strachie had plenty of life and did not have to eat sand and pepper in order to obtain grit and pep. The only trouble with his appetite was, that when he got real hungry Cfor trouble? in a football game, he would not chew the rag, but would live up to his nickname CStrachiej which means strike, and then things would move. Strachie Hnished his football career at Madison last fall, playing a brilliant game at end. BON GRISWOLD QKRUM, SCOOPD Bon, Bon, Butch Griswold, Was always ready For the referee's whistle. Scoop came out for football at the start of the 1913 season. His career of the season was soon ended by his parents. Bon, however, came back in the fall of 1914 and played a brilliant game at tackle. He could always be depended upon to open a hole in the enemy's line when his signal was called, and not only that, but he could block his man, and not many tackles got through him. In basketball, Scoop made good at guard, and he played that position throughout the year. He only missed one game and that was on account of sickness. If he goes away to school next year he is sure to make the varsity eleven for his great physique will make him an ideal tackle. ED MORAN CTEDD Weighing but one hundred four pounds, The smallest man On all football grounds. Ted has put in three years of football, coming out in his Freshman THE TOMAI-I HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 49 year. He, however, won his spurs in the Milwaukee game during the 1913 season. He played at quarter back and really was the lightest man on the gridiron throughout the season, but his speed and generalship kept him in his position. Ted has another year and he certainly will come back in this last year and burn up things with his three years' experience. Here's good luck Ted. ROY BENJAMIN QBENQ Out in the world may our friend Ben Then as now, be a leader of men. During the past year Benjamin was captain of the football and bas- ketball teams. Roy lived up to all expectations and made an ideal leader for the teams. In football he could always be depended on to advance the ball the required distance. In basketball he was equally as good and was one of the great factors of the strength of our team. Because of his great ability he was a target for rough tactics but he always came out of the rnixup with a good word and a smile. Roy could always be depended upon to stand by the team and work for the best interests of our school.-I. W. EARL MADDEN CDOSHJ A great big fellow With never a streak of yellow. Dosh , a plucky Junior, has had three years of pigskin experience. He came out in 1912 but was only a Freshie and did not understand the game fully enough to make the team. He, however, came back in 1913 and held down the center position. He distinguished himself that year in the Milwaukee game, as a man who could do things. In 1914 Dosh appeared on the first night of practice and was tried out at tackle. Here he stayed for the remainder of the year. His most spectacular play of the season , was his blocking of a punt in the Reedsburg game. He recovered the oval himself and dashed for a touchdown, and really there were more sand burrs than Reeds- burg men clinging to him. Dosh is still left for the 1915 squad and surely ought to improve, as he has the stuff. FRANCIS LAMOTTE CFRANCEJ A friend indeed When Tomah was in need. France came to our aid when we were sorely in need of men. After the first five weeks' tests, some of the football suits were left in the Gym, without claimants-you know the rest. Then, of course, a call for volunteers was issued, and it was ans- wered meekly. France was playing on the Indian team, but gladly gave up his position and responded to the call. He was placed at full- 50 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL back two days before the Portage game, and had to learn the signals in two nights. France, however, showed himself capable the day of the game, and plowed through the Portage line for long gains. He played his best at Madison, the wind-up game of the season. STANLEY BUTTS CSTAND Short and low He tackled them at the knee And down they'd go. Stan came onto the gridiron with a year's experience, and soon landed a position at one stem end of the team's constitution of eleven articles. Stan was fast and was good at catching forward passes. The main thing against him was, that he was built too close to Mother Earth. ERNEST ZELLMER tNUDED He handled his antagonist In a manner somewhat rude. Nude came out with a year or two of experience, and made a good man. PAUL ROSE CVPAULYJ Short and sweet Loves his oatmeal, potatoes, and wheat. Pauly appeared on the field late in the season, donned his warrior's armor and started plugging for a T. He was placed at center, and with his heavy weight, gave Rex a hard fight for the position. HARLOW HOAG mood A trap drum, and music's charm Does the Athlete no serious harm. Hog came out for practice late in the season, and thus did not secure a regular position on the team. He was fast but light, and was placed at fullback alternating with Yeager. JOHN WARREN QGIND A 1914 recruit He'll do much better In his 1915 suit. Gin came out for the team at the beginning of the season, and plugged good and hard to win a T. He expects to come back next year and make the team, as he will be more fit for the game, after the 1914 season's training. THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 51 ALVIN HOPP fCANNERSl Mauston biscuits may be fine But give me Stoddard spoons that shine. Canners was a loyal fellow, and answered to the call for volun- teers. He alternated at end with Strachan. Although Canners did not win a HT this season, his ability in tackling and his speed will surely win one for him in the 1915 season. LA CROSSE 9 TOMAH 0 First Quarter Tomah won the toss and chose the west goal, also receiving thc kick. Moran caught the ball and advanced it to the forty yard line. Tomah was held for downs and forced to kick. La Crosse returned the ball to the middle of the field and was held for downs. La Crosse then kicked, the ball going directly into the arms of Benjamin, on Tomah's ten yard line. He fumbled the ball, and La Crosse by an end run, then rushed the ball over Tomah's goal line. Tomah again received the ball ,but was held for downs. LaCrosse taking the ball into the middle of the field on Tomah's thirty yard linc, scored three more points on a perfect drop kick. Second Quarter Tomah again received the ball and advanced with it to the middle of the field, here they lost it, and the teams see-sawed back and forth until the whistle sounded. Third Quarter Tomah kicked off to La Crosse. La Crosse returned the ball to the middle of the field, and then to Tomah's twenty yard line. Here time was taken out for a discussion as to the justice of the head linesman, who was accused of stealing three yards of Tomah's hard earned twenty. Play was again resumed and Tomah turned the tables on La Crosse, pushing them back to their forty yard line, where Tomah was held for downs, and the whistle sounded for the quarter. Fourth Quarter Tomah punted the ball over La Crosse's goal line, La Crosse fell on the ball making it a touch back, and not counting two points. La Crosse took the ball in scrimmage on their twenty yard line and forced it back a few yards, but soon lost the pigskin to Tomah, who held possession of it until the end. THE WINONA GAME The Scoreless Tie Friday afternoon began with a rousing mass meeting, the players attending in their suits. After the mass meeting the two teams trotted onto the gridiron headed by the German band. Winona won the toss and chose to defend the east goal and receive BASKETBALL TEAM THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 53 the kick. Tomah kicked to Winona, who returned the ball to the fifty yard line and was forced to kick. Tomah fumbled and Winona recovered. Tomah again forced Winona to kick, and they CWinonaJ failed to kick a goal from the field. Tomah then took the ball, and the teams see-sawed back and forth throughout the game. Fear came to the Tomah people once, when the Winona fullback crashing into the Tomah interference grabbed the ball from the Tomah halfback and raced for what seemed a Winona touchdown, but the referee saw it, the ball was called back, and Tomah took possession of it. This was the nearest either team came to scoring. THE MADISON GAME LA Day at Camp Randallj Madison won the toss and chose to defend the west goal. Tomah kicked to them, and on their second down, Fuller of Madison, succeeded in getting through Tomah's line for a touchdown. Tomah then received the kick from Madison and marched straight up the field for a touchdown on straight football, not stopping for downs. The score was then a tie, and but one-fourth minute of play left. Madison got a lucky drop kick from the twenty yard line that hit the goal post, but bounded over the bar. The whistle sounded for the second half, and Tomah received the kick and started straight for the Madison goal, but a fumble enabled Madison to recover the ball and slip around the Tomah end for a touch- down. Tomah then received the ball and plunged straight through the Madison tissue paper for their second touchdown, the score now being 17 to 14 in Madison's favor. Madison succeeded in getting a forward pass successfully over the Tomah goal line, making the count 21 to 14 in favor of Madison, and the game was over. Only hard luck defeated the Tomah team that day. The University critics picked Tomah as the better team. A TRIP TO BARABOO PART I-BY WILL EARLE On the morning of February 26th, the Tomah basketball team, Mr. Witthuhn and Frank Drew, our chaperone, met at the Milwaukee depot at nine o'clock. We were going to Baraboo to play basketball, and had to go by the way of Sparta. The trip to Sparta proved uneventful. When we arrived there, we took our grips up to the hotel and most of us decided to go to visit the high school, particularly Whit, who had a very nice friend teaching there. We went to a couple of classes and then back to the hotel. Ben and Cy turned up missing, and we found they had gone to Ben's aunt's for dinner, because they knew they wouldn't get any dessert if they were near Whit, Immediately after dinner we went to the North Western depot 54 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL and took the one-fifty train. Nothing of special interest happened on the way down. We arrived in Baraboo safely, and found most of the fellows on the team down to meet us. They were kind enough to carry our grips, and we Walked up to the school Where we were to play. We found the hall quite small. The Baraboo fellows took us to the hotel, which we found quite up to date. From then until supper time, we played smear, or read While Whit and Hippy amused themselves by talking to the Baraboo Coach. At six o'clock we all went to supper, and had our usual menu. At about seven-thirty we started for the hall. When we got there, we found a nice clean room waiting for us, and after dressing and getting our final instructions, Went out on the Hoor and practiced shooting baskets. The game itself was one of the minor events of the trip. We were ahead of Baraboo the first half, and up to the last minute of play, but Ben and I made too many of their so called fouls, and they beat us by two points. We were not very disheartened at the result, because everybody in Bara- boo admitted that it was our game. We all came out of the game O. K. except Krum who burned his arm on a steam pipe. The rest of the story will be told by my bed partner, Krum, who, I am sure, will give you a very satisfactory description. PART ZFBY BON GRISWOLD. After an overwhelming defeat of 22 to 24, the fellows scattered in various directions. Art Yeager and Turk Madden Went over to the auditorium to learn a few new dances that were being taught by a noted expert from Chicago. More prominent members of the party, namely Mr. Witthuhn, Frank Drew, and Ed. Denomie invaded China town, to get one of those old fashioned dishes of Chop Sueyf' This, or so Mr. Witthuhn would have it, was not quite so good as they could have got in Appleton, altho' they were more than satisfied, because the famous Baraboo coach, Mr. Graff, happened in. He being in a good humor, slipped up to the counter and paid for the Chop Suey, The rest of the noted boys held council and agreed to go to the hotel, and spend the rest of the evening sleeping, or at least a part of it, before the night Watchman, Turk Madden appeared to give his usual minute lectures. We went to our assigned rooms, which were situated on the second floor of the building. There happened to be, owing to a great mistake of the contractors, a roof projecting from the rooms assigned. When we were almost in the land of slumber, in cameYeager, Denomie, and Madden. After going into their rooms, and bearing in mind that they were in the same town that Ringling's circus was in, they decided to show their ability as acrobats. Seeing their future already paved, they went out of the window onto the roof. Altho it was a little frosty they soon warmed up, Madden hugging the chimney, while the others were doing some fine tumbling on the Wires that held the chimney up. To make this THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 55 more interesting some one who wished them to camp there for the rest of the night locked their windows on the inside. But as fate would have it the manager of the hotel came up, opened the window, let them in, and in plain English, as nearly as Bill could understand, gave them one chance and only one to save themselves from a nice pleasant ride in a new 1915 model police patrol. Fortunately the fellows translated his message in the right way, and peace was re- stored at once. In the morning everyone was feeling fine. After breakfast we went down to the depot, and were off for the noted town of Hillsboro. When we arrived Yeager had to show us the town, so we jumped in a bob sled, and away we went up and down the streets and avenues. We then went to dinner and were soon after on our way to the depot. When going home we took the Pioneer Limited on the Cash Trunk line and after a few minutes ride arrived at Union Center. We then waited here a few minutes and then took the train for Camp Douglas. Arriving there we gave two High Schools yells, jumped on one of the finest trains in the middle west, and before we could catch our breath, we were home. New Lisbon 0 .....,..,.

Seminars 'Twas on a Monday after school, It was an ideal day, When the Faculty decided Our Senior team to play. The Faculty was confident, They thought they'd skin us sure, They looked down on us Seniors They thought we were so poor. They put their big man in the box, And their star player on first baseg With Naylor umpire for them, It was a desperate case. Witthuhn, he was the first man up, When Ben did toe the slab, He smashed one past the tower, It was a lucky jab. We caught him out at second But the ump had turned his backg Before the inning ended, He had traveled 'round the sacks. Our pitcher he did settle down, He struck out their pinch hitterg As it before had ne'er occurred The Faculty felt bitter. Their pitcher had an awful wing, We soon did wear him out, We tied the score that inning, It looked not like a rout. The Faculty made one more run They thought they had us cinchedg But the noble Senior baseball team Not for an instant Hinched. We tied the score the second frame, And raised the Faculty three, The hearts of the Senior rooters Were filled with highest glee. The third frame we did shut them out Witthuhn and Bray, fanned airy Old Ben and Dutch, our battery, Believe me, they were right there In the third we Seniors hit our pace, We slammed in 'nother score, The Seniors they were joyous, You should have heard them roar. The Faculty changed pitchers, Charles could not stem the tide: He could not Find the platter, He always threw them wide. The Faculty grew desperate, Mr. Bray did plead and shout, He stepped up to the platter, Old Ben did strike him out. We knocked a fly to Peterman, THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL It dropped from out his mitts, OF COURSE, the sun did bother him, But the Faculty had fits. When at last the fourth had ended, The score stood nine to two. Witthuhn picked up a rock, And started it to chew. They skipped their batting order, It was their only chance, Witthuhn strikes at three good ones, And very nicely fans. Our pitcher could not be denied He made monkeys of them all. We all will long remember, This famous game of ball. -FOAM. 1 2 3 4 5 Seniors ,,... 1 4 1 3 4' ffl Faculty ..,. 1 1 0 0 0 -2 -If Y fl- A Pleasant U1-ip tn Remember The basket-ball season was nearing its close, Tomah High School had defeated nearly all of its foes Our team was a wonder and hard to beat, To watch them play was a first class treat. They had won from New Lisbon, Mauston, Racine, And in every game each man showed his steamy Portage and Sparta were wiped off the map Although neither team was termed as a snap. Toward the end of the season news came from afar To go to the tournament you Columbus mrst bar, The game must be played on a neutral floor, A man from each town taking tickets at the door. At last 'twas decided at Portage to play, A town up the line not a very great way. Every High School rooter loyal to the core, Hazarded a guess at the final score. A referee was engaged named I. R. Witthuhn, We knew not then who he was, Swede, or a Coon, He was then a Senior in a well-known school, A basket-ball star who knew all the rules. The Columbus team felt of their victory sure, We all, of course, called their judgment poor. Nevertheless, a few of us had a doubt in our hearts, But heartily resolved to do our parts. There went to this school then a man named Fat Wright And it happened that this fellow was wonderfully bright He suggested that to Portage they take a band, 'Twas a capital idea, I gave him my hand. The idea was then handed to Mr. Bray 58 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Without thinking it over he was heard to say. The idea is great, and if loyalty is fare, The school should be willing to do their share. Our High School was loyal and furnished the dough, To pay for the band which should worry the foe. The band had a session the night before, 'Twas agreed to play till we could play no more. The great day at last dawned bright and clear, We departed for Portage, in our hearts there was fear. With us rode Collinge and Callan and Fruth, While on the blind baggage rode many a youth. We arrived in Portage about four o'clock Rode in a street car for a couple of blocks, We went to the swellest hotel in the place, And waited while Fatty did wash his face. We played in the hotel a piece we called 'Zo,' The piece was a hummer and we played it not slow. We marched to the hall in military style, And then marched round the hall with our gang in single file, The game was the greatest, in history, we've seen, Both teams played with their steamiest steam: The excitement every minute grew more intense, But our fellows proved themselves immense. The first half was over and the score a tie, We knew not who'd win when the next had gone by, The last few minutes our team with a great spurt, Tossed the baskets which our opponents did hurt. The game was well celebrated by the team, teachers and band, We came home so tired we could hardly stand. Although we were tired and had roughly fared, We won the game and that's all we cared.-L.

THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 59 Zilhr ,iluuiur Frnxltrnahr The Junior Promenade, the annual social event of the Tomah High School, Was, in the estimation of the class of nineteen hundred and fifteen, the most successful and elaborate ever given in the history of our school. The day chosen for the Prom was May first, nineteen hundred and fourteen. This gave the Junior class the opportunity to give a May day party as well. The decorations were carried out accordingly. The armory was tastefully decorated in the Junior colors 'green and white. From the center of the armory crepe paper was festooned to the sides. forminga May pole effect. Alargebasketfilled with fernsand flow- ers hung from thecenterofthe hall. In one corner of the hall stood the punch stand, which was trimmed with smilax and flowers. In another corner, which was separated from the main hall by palms and a net Work of crepe paper, was the orchestra. Comfortable chairs were arranged in the other corner and along the sides. A temporary stairway led from the floor to the stage, which was beautifully decorated. Card tables and cozy corners were arranged there affording amusement for those who did not care to dance. The party began with a grand march,ending in dancing, which, with other amusements, continued until about midnight when all adjourned to Earle's Hall. Here refreshments were served and toasts were given. The hall was decorated in gold and white. 60 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL After spending a very pleasureable hour here, the party returned to the Armory where dancing was indulged in until the Wee small hours of the morning. Svninr Jliallnwfen iiartg One of the social events of the year, given by the illustrious Senior Class of 1915, was the HalloWe'en Party. Everybody was invited and nearly everyone came out, both the young people of High School and Alumni being in full force. The hall was artistically trimmed with the usual Hallowe'en decor- ations, mainly jack-o-lanterns and corn stalks. Crepe paper was draped from the center of the hall to each light. In one corner of the room punch was served. The best music was obtained for the occasion and all enjoyed the dancing. Members of the faculty and school board were present, and helped to make the party a success. Home Sweet Home was played at about midnight and the good time was over. The party was a pronounced success in every way except financially, the class going in the hole about five dollars.

We hardly know whether to be glad or sorry, for although it cuts the recitation short we do hate a mass meeting. As soon as we have taken our places, the boys usually on one side of the room and the girls on the other, Roy Benjamin suggests that we begin by giving the locomotive At this Edwin Fitzpatrick and Gray Strachan dash madly up the aisle and tell us to get up and show our school spirit. We do. After the yell has been given, it is a part of the program for Edwin to say, Aw, come on, girls, you can make more noise than that. Why don't you yell a little? Then everybody laughs and we sit down to wait for the next number. About this time something usually reminds Mr. Witthuhn of a story so he tells one and sometimes even another. His story usually has something in it about Mr. Collinge or Mr. Bray. Of course the victim has to get up and answer it at Mr. Witthuhn's expense. Next, the members of the team give speeches, all of which run some- 62 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL thing like this: I haven't much to say but ...... . I'm not much of an orator but ....., , or, I haven't anything to say except ....,. , The speeches are interspersed with a yell or two and perhaps the High School song, while we all sit feeling sorry for the poor boys who are likely to be called on. ' Just as we are beginning to think the bell will never ring, it does the unexpected, and with a unanimous sigh of relief the meeting is over. M. N. '16, Cline illittle Qlninrihvnre Well, old kid, how are you betting on the fight? This was the exclamation I heard as I was sauntering from the park in front of the Mirimir Hotel, in Havana, Cuba, day before yesterday. I turned around to see who was addressing me. Whom did I behold? Well it was no other than Scoop Griswold, the cub reporter for the Saturday Blade. I was very much surprised to see him, not knowing that he had come down to cover the fight. Well, I'1l be jiggered! When'd you ramble in? Came down on the last mail steamer, just over to see Willard. Say, ain't he the bear? His size is sure gona get Johnson's goataBetcha if he lands on that Smoke's beazer he will kill 'im. I answered. I hope so, but that word Hifi' has to come in. Have you seen Jack box yet? Well let's catch a car and go out to his camp. They say he is the same old wizard as of old, and right there with the goods all the time.' At this Scoop and I hailed a car to start for J ohnson's training camp which was a few miles out of the city. I might add that it was a Ford, which we rode in. You see the little old Ford rambles in Cuba also. When we got out there the big black had just finished his road work of six miles, and was tossing the medicine ball, with one of his sparring partners. I said to Scoop, Age and the high life have certainly told on him, all right. You see he is about thirty pounds heavier than he was five years ago at Reno. Yes, Scoop answered, and he is sweating like a moose 3 betcha two bits his wind is punk. Scoop and I both came to the conclusion, especially after we had had a good talk with Jack Welch, who was the man that was going to referee the fight, that the Kansas Cowboy had the edge over Jack, therefore We both placed a little spare kale on his chances. I found out that Scoop was going to stay at the same hotel that I was staying at, so we started back for the city to get a good square meal. In the afternoon we watched Willard do a little sparring and jumping the rope. I want to add right here that the reports that Jess is a big awkward, slow moving bulk, is all bosh, for that boy moved as if he were a lightweight. That evening I went out on the plaza to hear the band play, while THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 63 Scoop went to his room to write up some advance dope. There were large crowds everywhere. Some betting was going on, and it seemed that Johnson was slightly the favorite. I retired early to get a good nights sleep before the fight which was to start at 12.30 o'clock the next day. Well that fight finally came around, and, to use Scoop's words, She sure was some fight. Willard, who was much younger and larger than Jack, had the best of the fight after the first sixteen rounds. You all know by this time that Jess put over the haymaker in the twenty-sixth, fiooring the negro for the count, thus bringing the heavy weight crown back to the white race again, which for five years had been with the black. I won't tell you any more about that fight, because I dont'want to run opposition to Scoop's story, but I advise you to be sure to read his story on the fight. H. M. '15 Stuhging Engvther Good evening, girls. What are you all doing? Studying your geometry lesson? Well then I came just in time, for I can't get mine for tomorrow. Really, I d0n't see the least bit of sense in it! Why, actually, in the last test we had I only got a standing of forty-five. Oh, well, we should worry about our standing. Are you all tired after the party? I had a grand time. Didn't you? Did I see that new girl, Julia Middleton? Well, say, didn't she act just terrible? Why, honestly, I can just see how she looked! White hair, green eyes, pug nose, yellow velvet dress trimmed with bright green, and then those pink baby doll slippers! I can't see why anyone should make herself so conspicuous. I know perfectly well that the boys hang around her just because she's an heiress and not because she's any better looking than we are. Well, let's see. What's our lesson about? A triangle? To con- struct a triangle when three sides are given. Oh, say! Did you know that Frank Cameron escorted Mabel Mortimer home from the party? I think he's awfully nice, but somehow I just can't like her. Oh, my! Is it that late? I'll have to hurry to get to club in time. Well, so long. Uhr Glramp He was about six feet tall, very slender, and appeared to be about thirty years of age. His head was covered with long frowzy red hair, which persisted in finding every possible exit from the old battered stiff cady which adorned his head. He had a fervent countenance from which projected a large Horescent nose, and a look of sangfroid to the world in general was apparent in his tonsorially neglected face. To any observer he looked like a fiasco in life. He had a bandanna handkerchief around 64 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL his giraffe-like neck. His coat well ventilated at both elbows, was sorely in need of lengthening to fit his lanky frame. Under this coat he had a once white vest, the only garment which fitted his person, and this he had probably received as a gratuity from some sympathetic house-wife. His trousers altho tailor-made were not of the latest cut and had not been made to fit a six-footer. Tan socks hung loosely over an old pair of gaiters which had also seen better days. At this time he was reclining on the turf near the station, his legs crossed and one of these imposing gaiters pointing upward toward the firmament. As he lay there on the greensward showing his frugality by gormandizing a sandwich which he had received at some backdoor, a fiduciary look of gratification and fruition lit up his countenance. Al- though he appeared a depository for intoxicants and his habiliments made him look like The Last Rose of Summer, he had not a care in the world and showed his felicity by whistling Happy Jack, as he arose and journeyed up the track. 615112 Bien-g nf a Small Eng Jan. 1.

'17 Gbur Grip One day in the month of May CMaeD some of the High School pupils, went to the woods for a picnic. As there was not room enough for all in our Maxwell CMaxwellJ, which we received last September, we had to put some in Rex's Ford QRexfordJ and our little Grey CGrayb car. We were warned CWarrenJ previously by one who knew some 1NuzumJ of the roads not to go by the Glen CGlenJ but rather to go by Rat's Cliff CRatcliffj. When we came to this hill CHillj, it was very high and steep and on the crest was a church with a high tower CTowerj from which one could see more CQSeymourJ than from any other point. The sexton CSextonj showed us all of the scenery. Here Rex's Ford stuck in a mire, and would have stayed there all day but for a strong CStrachanj boy and hale QHaleD girl who kneeled CNealD down and tried to dig the mud from around the wheels. This attempt failing we called on the miller CMillerJ who was passing with his team and he drew CDrewJ us out. Then we passed a meadow where there were a number of lambs CLambJ under the care of a shepherd CShepherdj. On the other side of the road was a forest CForestJ. Just as were we passing we saw a fox QFoxD no doubt waiting for a chance to steel QSteeleD some of the lambs CLambb. Then we came to a place where there were many violets CVioletD growing and also many sand CSands7 burs. Here the Maxwell CMaxwellJ broke down but was soon repaired by some rivets CRivetJ, by putting a bolt on CBoltonl some part of the machinery and by pumping more air QAyer7 into the tires. The last CLastj stop before we arrived at our destination was caused by a young man losing a bunch of keys QKeyesb. While we were driving along a rabbit hopped CHoppJ from some hazel CHazelJ brush and frightened the girls. Soon we arrived at our destination which was Black's woods CBlackwoodJ. Some went to the rose CRoseD bower while others took a boat to gather some cressCKressJ. Others, interested in botany wished to obtain some specimens of roots CRootJ and moss CMause7 but the grass was too QDeweyj. There were many kinds of birds here, but the martins CMartinD were most plentiful. Some of the boys spent their time digging bait CBatesJ. At six o'clock we ate our lunch which consisted of vvieners fWeinerD and graham CGrahamJ sandwiches which we procured from the baker Qldakerj and as a treat 66 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL CTreatJ bon bons CBonJ were passed. The tables were decorated with lillies QLilyD and marguerites CMargueriteD. A merry CMurrayj time was reported by all and everyone put their whole heart CHartl and soul fSowlej in the pleasure. Uhr Qlnmnwrrial Clfnurzr For many years the progressive citizens of Tomah have realized that a Commercial Course in connection with the High School would be a desirable addition. It was not, however, until September 1913, that the plan was carried out and a practical Course installed. Previous to this a few commercial subjects had been taught but the classes were greatly handicapped by lack of equipment and skilled instructors. On account of the crowded condition in the High School, it was difficult to find a suitable room for this work. Finally, a room on the first floor of the High School Building, formerly occupied by the seventh grade, was appropriated. The course is carried through the entire four years of school. In the first year business English and spelling are required. In the second year bookkeeping, commercial arithmetic and geography are taken up. Eighty minutes a day is given to bookkeeping during the entire year. Stenography and typewriting are studied in the third year and continued through the fourth year. Eighty minutes a day is devoted to these subjects, forty minutes in class work and forty in the typewriting depart- ment. In the first two years, one day each week is given to penmanship instead of to the Work of the regular classes. The equipment of this department consists of four Underwood typewriters and three Remingtons. In this way those taking the course become accustomed to the use of different machines. The graduates of the course are therefore competent stenographers, and should be able to fill any commercial position. The Gregg system of shorthand is taught. Mr. C. A. Callan was engaged as instructor in this department for the year 191341914 This year Mr. R. B. Peterman succeeded Mr. Callan as instructor and is carrying on the work very successfully. He has introduced a thorough system of office training for the fourth year pupils and has been very successful in spite of the fact that lack of room makes the teaching a difficult problem. In the fall of 1914, some of our business men and the members of the school board became interested in a night school. They gained the aid of Mr. W. P. Roseman of La Crosse, a representative of the Uni- versity Extension Department. In the latter part of December a meeting was held at which was found that many of the young people of the city were interested in a night school. Regular classes which meet every Tuesday night were soon begun. At present about thirty are enrolled. The subjects taught at present are bookkeeping, shorthand, typewriting THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 67 and penmanship. Mr. Peterman has charge of the shorthand and typewriting and Mr. Roseman of the bookkeeping. The school is open to any one who is not at present attending the city schools. Any subject will be taken up if enough interest is develop- ed to make the classes of the required number. Both the commerical department and the night school are things which have long been needed in Tomah and should receive the support and cooperation of all. Tillie Glzarhers' Qlnursv About two years ago a law was passed to appropriate a fund for the education and training of country school teachers 5 the course to be es- tablished in high schools which have four or more regular teachers, in- cluding the principal, and in counties which have no county training school or Normal. In the year 1915, another law was passed which said that any per- son teaching school must be a graduate of a Normal, a county training school or of the teachers' course. These laws were passed because of the poor condition in our country schools. Often a student who had finished the country school would return, without further training, to teach the same school. Not all the students graduating from the high school can afford to go to a Normal or a training school. The teachers' course enables them to teach without extra expense. In this course all the different subjects which are taught in the grades are reviewed, and the students are taught how to teach these subjects. Each day the senior students of the course go to the grades to observe or teach. The subjects taught in this course are: English, including spelling, reading, or orthoepy fromaprofessional standpoint, citizenship, composition and grammar, pedagogy, reviews including methods of teaching, school management, practice teaching and the study of the Manual. This course is of benefit to the community, as well as to the pupils. The teachers of the country schools are taught how to establish literary societies, how to arrange programs, and how to get the people of the community interested in the school. A teachers' course was established in our high school in the fall of 1913 and thus far it has proved very successful. Last year four students graduated from this course, and are now teaching. This year about fourteen are expected to graduate, while the present Junior class numbers many more. fl k l- If Lucile went fishing, would she catch a pike QPikeJ?

Every year music is becoming a more vital part of school life. Music can be the very life of a school. With the present methods of teaching music in the public schools the pupils learn to know and appreciate the best of music. Perhaps we do not appreciate the efforts that are being made to develop a taste for good music. Were we deprived of our or- chestra, glee club or, best of all, the three short periods for singing each week, then would we realize how much music in the school means to us. The Freshmen are obliged to take an eighteen weeks course in the theory of music and meet each Monday at 3:30 for their class. The course though short, has proved most beneficial to all those who have taken it and the unison singing has much improved as a result of it. By the course the pupils are enabled to read music much more readily and to sing with better understanding. We have always had splendid musical organizations in our high school and many of them, and we need to keep up the reputation which we have gained for ourselves. The orchestra has done remarkably well considering the great amount of new material this year. The Girl's Glee Club with thirty-six members is the largest it has been for several years and has done fine work under the direction of Miss Broadwell. The Girls' Double Quartette, just recently formed, and the glee club are both practicing earnestly for the special commencement music and we may expect to be proud of them.

Eilitnrial Spirit aah ilinyaltg We, the class of 1915, have found in our school experiences that good loyal spirit must prevail behind every move to bring about its success. Every enterprise should have the constant support of every member whom it may in the least concern. We would have spirit and loyalty stand even to the very end. In almost all school activities, it is impossible to have every mem- ber in the lime light, but it is always possible for the others to come forward with their support and boost to help give the particular incident the success which it should merit. When We go out into the world we are sure to realize what the mem- ory of our school life means to us, and to learn its effects on life. If the right spirit has not been shown in that career, how dull is the re- membrance, that should have been the happiest of our life. Why not be a mixer and an active participant in all school affairs? Why not put the spirit into our moves? How pleasant in after years to recall the incidents of school life. How happy is the person who can point back and show that he was a booster, who can show he helped to place the school on a high athletic plane or to obtain high oratorical honors 5 who can tell what position he played on the football and base- ball teams, and how he gave his school his best, or how he was at the games to cheer the team on to victory. The conclusion, then is reached, that every student should be an active participant in all school and class activities. It often happens that at the time, we do not fully appreciate how much such a thing means to us. School is the starting point in life. Everyone should obtain the right spirit young, and learn the value of loyalty. Look about, profit by the experience of others. Be loyal, seize upon that right spirit and keep your valuable friend- ships. Let your school spirit start you. Let it branch out so that you may be classed as the loyal spirited citizen. Nobody courts failure, everybody wants to succeed, and why not lay the sound foundation early. Pk 214 11 Eg Zifheir Sagings Eau Shall iKnnu1 Zilhem 'AI would like to see the following at the office.

THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 71 liz Glnmah the Birthmark nn the Zliarr nf illlisfnriune The famous, world-renowned Jeffersonian Debating Club, of Sparta, QWisconsin, not Greecel, lately held their biennial meeting. It was a grand affair, even extemporaneous speeches were given. Carl Berry, a member of the Sparta High School Debating Team, was called upon fora little oration. Very much tlustered and abashed, he madea heroic effort to say something humorous. The title of his oration was, Tomah, the birth-mark on the face of Misfortune. QWhat an attempt.J Now, Is Tomah really the birth-mark on the face of Misfortune? We solemnly affirm that it is impossible for Tomah to be the birth- mark on the face of Misfortune, as MISFORTUNE WAS BORN AND REARED AT SPARTA. Statistics can not be denied. They are as follows: In 1911 we won from Sparta, one football game, and in the following year two games of baseball, and a debate. In 1913 we defeated them in two basketball games. In 1914, we lost a football game andadebate to them, and defeated them twice at basketball. In 1915 we won from them in debate by unanimous decision. Summing up the events of the last four years: Lost to Sparta, one football game and one debate. Won from Sparta, one football game, four basket-ball games, two base- ball games and two debates. Therefore, we fail to see in what respect Tomah has been unfortun- ate. Misfortune has failed to visit this place. She seems to be very well satisfied with her present location. This was proven in the showing of this year's Debating Teams of Sparta High. They lost both debates unanimously, although Berry was a member of one team. You may call us cruel and hard-hearted, but it is impossible for us to have a heart as we have never been in such an unfortunate state. This makes it hard for us to pity any one who has had dealings with Mis- fortune. In other words, Misfortune does NOT dwell here. We further wish to state, that their ATTEMPTED humor is more fitting to the time of Oliver Goldsmith, than to this present day and age. In conclusion, we maintain that TOMAH is NOT the birthmark on the face of Misfortune, because we would NOT have OUR birthmark on anything that resided in Sparta, unless the mark was black and blue. Therefore, Tomah is not the birthmark on the face of Misfortune, but rather on the face of DAME FORTUNE. :if PF Dk There are several ways to write, rite, right, Discuss that with Strachan, and you'll stir up a fight, You can argue and reason with all of your might, But he will convince you that he writes, right WRIGHT.

SCENES FROM THE PAGEANT Alumni Ellie Zilnmah 'High Srhnnl Zilwentg Bears Agn After a lapse of twenty years, there are so many things of interest to write about that one must select somewhat carefully lest the account become burdensome and unnecessarily long, hence I shall attempt to set down only such observations as may be of general interest. The high school of twenty years ago differed somewhat from that of today. In its curriculum, the building and its equipment, the personnel of its faculty, the number of studentsgin all save the element of human nature, material changes have taken place since then. In this latter element I doubt if any great change has taken place, for without knowing the present student body individually, it is a safe guess that among the number will be found the reliable and the pestiferous, the bright and the numbskull, each in about the same proportion as was present twenty years ago. The hopeful thing about it all is that the numbskull in books may be successful in life--this depending largely on Whether or not he has acquired habits of industry and thrift. It is also safe to presume that the perennial straggler still ambles complacently in after the day's work has begun, and lingers,-by request, after the day's work is over. He was present twenty years ago, and one would undertake no great risk in assuming that the species still flourishes vigorously and unabashed. The curriculum may change, the faculty may change, the student body may change, the bricks in the building may change, but human nature remains pretty nearly a constant. At least twenty years sees little change in the fundamental characteristics. The high school course of study of twenty years ago differed in several respects from that of today. In some ways it was more simple, while in others it was more formal. It contained such elementary subjects as simple word analysis and the elements of English grammar, but it also contained such mental polishers as the science of arithmetic and White's psychology, the latter coming in the last terms of the senior year and being about as welcome as the typhoid fever. The courses in science were more bookish and less experimental than those of today. The laboratory facilities were also more meager. Many of us saw what the book said we ought to see but somehow or other we got along, and many of the things then seen but darkly and imperfectly have since cleared themselves up. Mathematics, then as now, was one of the cornerstones of the course. Sometimes we stuck on radicals and quadratic equations, but life and experience have completed many a quadratic square then imperfectly understood. In the matter of English and history the courses today are richer and more comprehensive than those of twenty years ago. Foreign languages have lost prestige since then. In those days no mention was made of domestic science, art, or manual training. These subjects were not considered as proper functions for the school. They were taught at home, if taught at all,-the mediums 74 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL of instruction being the red-handled mop, the kitchen sink, the wash- tub, and the buck saw. Physical culture consisted chiefly in the old fashioned game of football, when the side lines shouted kill 'em and cheered vociferously when an opponent was laid out. Sometimes this culture was supplemented by an occasional bout at boxing, sur- reptitously staged in the boiler room of the basement. Neither did the course of study contain such subjects as, teachers' course and business or commercial courses. These were of a much later origin. In other respects the course of study was much as it is today, save that the choice of subjects was somewhat more limited and the work less consecutively and systematically arranged. It was such a course as the public demanded and the student who completed it with credit was probably quite as well equipped to make a living as is the student of today. Not that the schools haven't improved since then. They have. But the demands of the time were fewer and less exacting than those of today, hence the handicap was more fancied than real. The social life of the school was less extensive then than it is today, yet it was ample and added much to the zest of school life. It consisted chiefly of sleighing parties, social gatherings at the homes of different faculty and class members, picnics, public debates and entertainments, and dancing parties. Yet, withal, the school was much less a social center than it is today. At that time it didn't seem to occur to people that the school was the most fitting place about which to center the social life of the community. In the manner of school discipline things were possibly a little more rigid and strenuous than they are now. Yet even the rules and regu- lations were exceedingly pleasant and humane, and if the big stick had to be applied occasionally it was because of the exigency of the situation, and because we were a little nearer to the age of cowhide boots and chilblains than we are today. The enrollment, as I recall it, was about one hundred thirty, one fifth of this number, perhaps, being from the country. The students from the country were somewhat older than they are today. This was due to the fact that the rural school was then ungraded and unsystematized and the gap between it and the high school considerably wider than at present, hence there were but few students who did not spend more than eight years in preparation for the high school work. The path from the rural school to the high school was not so well beaten nor so generally traveled as it is today. Also the travelers were much more verdant and socially awkward than they are now. Yet the spirit of the school to- ward them was most kindly and the town boys and girls did their utmost to make the rustics feel at home. Good roads, rural mail delivery, the telephone and the automobile have closed up the gap between city and country and have welded them into a social unit. The country boy or girl of today can have little conception how formidable the high school building looked to the country student of twenty years ago, or THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 75 with what fear and trembling he entered its portals for the first time. An invitation to dine with the President of the United States might have had more social terrors but I doubt it. The class of 1894 numbered twenty-four-the largest in the history of the school. The graduating exercises were held both afternoon and evening, one half of the class appearing on each program. Judge Graham delivered the commencement address, and as was characteristic of all of his addresses, it was most eloquent, instructive and interesting. The boys in the class, with one or two exceptions, appeared in long-tailed coats, commonly called the cutaway. These coats have since raised many a fine brood of moths and in this they have fulfilled their mission. The girls were becomingly attired in gowns probably quite as elaborate as those of today. Mr. George W. Reigle was principal. The other members of the faculty were Miss Keifer, Miss Wood, and Miss Knapp. Gus. Erdmann was janitor. He swept with a coarse broom and the halo of dust which encircled his head spoke volumes as to the thoroughness with which he did the job. He went to his task manfully with nothing between him and germicidal death but a small sponge tucked carefully under his nose, lest some vicious bacillus, ruthlessly disturbed, might attempt to smite him fatally. It was the day before patent germ slayers and vacuum cleaners. Of the faculty of that time, only one, Miss Keifer, is at present con- nected with the high school. The Tomah school owes much to her for she has built into it a section of her life. Then, as now, she was held in the highest esteem by the students and the people of the commun- ity. Her influence can never be adequately measured, save in the kindly remembrance of a grateful people. Mr. Reigle was a man of sterling character and splendid ability. He did much to build up and maintain the high standard of excellence which the Tomah schools have always enjoyed. He Wore himself out in service to the community. He was a natural teacher of great power and ability and many a young fellow owes his start in life to the help and encouragement received at his hands. So with the other members of the faculty. They were women of worth and influence, unselfish and untiring in their efforts to make the school fulfill the purpose for which it was organized. Then, as now, the faculty and not the building was the great factor in determining the character of the school. The Tomah High School of twenty years ago was a splendid insti- tution. It reached out in to the highways and byways and attracted to itself entire families who have since played a prominent part in life. It took the product of the community, educated it, and sent it on out into successful life or turned it back to the people from whence it came, there to help them better to do the world's work. It was one of the great common portals through which many a youth passed to a larger and more 76 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL useful life. It put ambition and hope into many a young fellow and sent him forth to better things. It took the individual, oftentimes raw, awkward, and untrained, put hope into his heart and lime into his back- bone, and then pointed him the way to his opportunity and his work. It was one of the great leavening forces of the community, impelling and compelling people to better effort and more useful endeavor. Such was the Tomah High School twenty years ago, and such is it today. It has a splendid record. Its influence and power have in- creased since then, and will continue to increase in the years which are to come. Comparatively speaking the school of today is a better insti- tution than that of twenty years ago, for progress has changed the ways of yesterday, yet judged from the standpoint of what it did for the boys and girls of that time, and this, after all, is the true test, its record is a most enviable and honorable one. Time is the test of service, and twenty years, I am sure, has served only to increase the respect and esteem in which the Class of '94 hold the Tomah High School.AJoHN V. BRFNNAN '94. A mountain ilnurnvg in the Philippines In the fall of 1909 a Constabulary officer, whom I shall call Captain Hammond, invited me to accompany him on an expedition he was ex- pecting to make to Camp Larena, a Constabulary station on one of the mountains of the interior of the Island of Panay, Philippine Islands. As I was then interested in the construction of the roads and trails of Iloilo Province which occupies a large part of Panay Island, and the Philippine Government was contemplating the construction of a horse trail to Camp Larena, this invitation gave me an opportunity to combine business and pleasure which I was glad to accept. The Philippine Constabulary is a military organization which polices the wild and thinly settled parts of the Islands. All soldiers and non-commissioned officers and part of the commissioned ofiicers are Filipinos, and at that time most of the commissioned officers were Amer- icans. They maintain stations at most of the outlying towns in the islands, where civilization meets the wilderness, and have gradually pushed their way into the wilderness until now life and property are secure in large sections of the islands where a few years ago head-hunting was the occupation and tribal wars the diversion. Camp Larena was a comparatively new station that had been es- tablished in the very heart of the rendezvous of the wild men of Panay Island. The mountain people there were simple and kindly, but were easily led to commit acts of savagery by the ruthless criminals of the low- lands who fled to the mountains when they found themselves too closely pressed by the law. The Constabulary at Camp Larena and other stations was rapidly bringing security to the inland towns of the Island by capturing and driving out the leaders, and inducing the simple mountain folk to settle down to a peaceful, though primitive, agricultural life. THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 77 As we were to take provisions for the camp with us, Captain Ham- mond sent the necessary supplies to the town of Lambunao, which was as far as they could be carried by bull cart, with instructions to the Con- stabulary lieutenant in command there to have a detachment of soldiers and the necessary bearers of cargadores, ready for us. Captain Hammond and I set out from lloilo horseback one morning and after a pleasant forenoon's ride we stopped for dinner with Lieutenant Howard at Janiuay. In the afternoon we continued our journey to Lambunao, where we arrived about four o'clock, a little tired from our thirty mile ride, but in excellent condition otherwise. Lieutenant Brown, who was in charge at Lambunao, wasa young man just out of a military school, and with only a few weeks experience in the Philippines. He was enthusiastic about his work, eager for action, and was keenly disappointed that he could not accompany us. Some time later he and a small detachment of his soldiers surprised an outlaw with a few followers in a barricaded house, and the leader of the band attacked the lieutenant with a bolo, and inflicted a dangerous wound before Brown shot him. We staid over night at Lambunao. Captain Hammond and Lieu- tenant Brown busied themselves in the evening superintending the pre- paration of the sacks of rice and dried fish and the packages of canned goods for the journey to Camp Larena. The cargadores, thirty of them, came in that night, and slept at the station so there would be as little delay as possible in starting. They were lean, brown little men, almost naked, most of them about four feet six inches tall, but with splendid muscles in their arms, backs and legs. After an early breakfast the next morning, we started. The moun- tainous country through which the trail led was impassable for horses, so we left ours behind. Our party consisted of the thirty cargadores, a dozen Constabulary soldiers, a sergeant, Captain Hammond and my- self. The air-line distance from Lambunao to Camp Larena was about sixteen miles, but after the first three or four miles the trail was so crooked and in many places so precipitous that at the end of the hardest day's tramping that I had ever done, we still were about six miles from the camp. The path followed up a river bed, and part of the time we could walk in the sand or gravel along the bank, then we could step from boulder to boulder in the stream, then we would have to wade until we came to a place where the gorge was so narrow and the current so swift and deep that it was necessary to make a detour by climbing hundreds of feet up the steep mountain side. To add to the difficulties of the trip it began to rain in the afternoon, making the trail slippery and dangerous, and drenching what few remaining dry clothes we had. The river be- came somewhat swollen, causing us to make long difficult detours in order to pass a narrow gorge or a waterfall with more and more frequency. We stopped for the night at a place where the gorge had widened 78 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL out to make a little valley, and had our supper. The captain and I had coffee and some canned goods, and the Filipinos ate boiled rice and fish. The only shelter we had was half of alittle tent just big enough for two of us, which Captain Hammond fixed up as a kind of an awning to protect us from the rain. The Filipinos all slept, if they could sleep, out in the open. As we had already climbed to an elevation of perhaps two thousand five hundred feet, the night air was much colder than in the lowland and since we were in our wet clothes we did not sleep very comfortably to say the least. We both shivered with cold most of the night, and I wondered how our cargadores , who were nearly naked, could endure it, but they were all mountain people, and seemed to be no worse off than the rest of us. When morning came, I, for one, was glad to see it. As soon as it was daylight we ate our breakfast and continued our journey. Our way now led us, when it was necessary to leave the stream, through dense forests of immense trees, that were hung with mosses, orchids, rattan vines, and covered with a great variety of fungi and other parasites. Many of the giant trees had literally been strangled to death by the en- twining vines that they supported, and stood waiting for the rapid decay that comes from a warm climate and a moist soil to reduce them to -the dust from which they sprang. Our last hard climb was one of perhaps three hundred feet up an immense pile of loose rocks, down which the stream flowed in a beautiful cascade of spray. At the top of the pile we came out upon a plateau, with Camp Larena, at an elevation of about four thousand feet, but a short distance away, and on a peak which commanded a view not only of many of the mountain valleys but also of a large part of Iloilo Pro- vince and the mountains of the Island of Negros. It was in the middle of the afternoon when we arrived at the camp, and we were cordially received by Lieutenants Anderson and Lucas. As Lieutenant Lucas was a Filipino, Lieutenant Anderson was the only white man in the camp, and he had not seen any other white man for more than six weeks. The next day after our arrival we Went to visit one of the families of mountain people that had settled a short distance from the camp. Here, indeed, was the simple life. The family, which included a man and woman and their six little children, were living in a little hut of one room, about ten feet square, and so low that even they could not stand erect in it. The frame of the house was made of poles and the walls and roof was of thatched grass, fastened to the framework by rattan thongs. The floor was of slats of wood made by splitting off the sides of small poles, and tying them to the floor joists with rattan thongs. Clothing, furniture and utensils were so scarce that I think the head of the house could easily have carried everything they possessed away on his back if they had had occasion to move. They all slept on the floor, and did their cooking out doors, where there was a rude earthen pot THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 79 standing on three stones, with a fire smouldering under it. The morning of the second day after our arrival Captain Hammond and I started on our return to Iloilo, with a sergeant, five soldiers, and two Ucargadoresf' The rest of the cargadores had been paid off upon our arrival at the camp. Lieutenant Lucas gave me two little gold nuggets about the size of kernels of wheat, as souvenirs of my visit to Camp Larena. He had found them in one of the mountain streams in the vicinity. Our return trip to Lambunao was made in one day, for we could make much better time going down the trail than was possible coming up. My shoes, which were nearly new when I started on the trip, were completely worn through by the time we arrived at Lambunao, and I was thankful that the trail was no longer, or I would have had to walk the rest of the way bare-footed. I arrived at Iloilo the sixth day after leaving there, with increased pride in our flag and our nation, after having seen what wonderful steps were being taken under American direction, for the protection of the lives and property of the weak, the punishment of the incorrigible leaders in crime, and the winning over to the ways of peace of their followers, in the wild mountain regions of central Panay.-FREDERICK M. J OHNSON, '02 Nniuersitg illife University life is a jolly time. Such is the common impression of people outside the University. There is no doubt but that this idea is correct. Almost every student will agree with this. But to say that it is a jolly life, does not mean that it is not a life of work also. All life is or should be jolly. Even our busiest business men have time for enjoy- ment. So it is at the University. From the time that the student enters as a Freshman, green as the grass on the Hill in June, till he receives his sheepskin on Commence- ment day, his life is a life of work and of play-plenty of work yet time enough for other things to keep him alive. If the Freshman does not work and keep his work up to standard, he will at Thanksgiving time or at the end of the semester receive notice that he would probably be better off at home or out working-at any rate the University would have no further use for him. It behooves the student to keep his work up during his entire course for it is never too late to be conned out. The average student has sixteen hours a week of classes, each of which requires two hours preparation. This makes forty-eight hours of work, or eight hours a day, which is a fair day's work. The most disagreeable feature is that the work is not evenly balanced throughout the week. Some days one has to spend ten, twelve, or even more, hours, and other days only five or six. It is this condition that calls for the pro- verbial midnight oil, but luckily the average student does not have many such days. Some students by hard work or brilliancy, can shorten the hours of work, but on the other hand few students do not have other duties. 80 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Some do outside work to help pay their expenses, others play on athletic teams, others debate and belong to literary societies, and still others have seminary or other outside academic work. It is however, a fact, that some students spend all their spare time, and some that is not spare, loafing or in society It is this latter class, who, on the whole, are responsible for the idea that college life is all play. Even tho the average student has a quite full schedule, most of them find time to mix, to get the college spirit, and to gain that education that does not come from the class room. They have time to go to ath- letic games, to parties and dances occasionally, to the theatre to see a good musical comedy or a great actor, to hear renowned singers and cel- ebrated speakers, and to go to the vaudeville houses or movies for amuse- ment. They find time for walking, riding, canoeing, and especially for fussing. Yes, it is a jolly life, but it wouldn't be if we did not have to work. It is the combination of hard, tho enjoyable study, and the great joys of student association that make the years spent at the University the happiest years of a man's life.fBERNARD DROWATZKY '14. Qlnllrge iliifv us. ltligh Srhnnl Zliife I scarcely feel that I have been out of high school long enough to give advice to the Tomah students, and so I will confine my remarks in this column to a brief summary of the most important observations I have made while here at the University of Illinois, and let the readers of this pick out the moral for themselves. The institution here at Champaign is a large affair, with more than 6,000 students. and almost 1,000 faculty members. lt is to be expected then, that an individual must be fairly prominent before he is noticed. The laurels that have been won in High School no longer countg the col- lege freshman must prove his unquestionable worth as a college man, and his past record is neither known nor sought after. One of the most amusing sights to be seen on the campus in the fall is the spectacle presented by the hundred or more presidents of senior classes in high schools about the state. Enveloped in their iron clad cloak of superiority, they step off the train as if about to enter upon a triumphal march through the city. Memories of their past conquests in the high school back home surge through their manly bosoms, and their cheeks glow with anticipation as they dream of the swath they are about to cut in college. Three weeks later we find a group of sadder but wiser men, with their dreams of instantaneous success more or less chastened and sub- dued. Lost in the throng, they are surprised by the knowledge that other and older men in the university possess the popularity to which they have been accustomed. As a result they repress their boastfulness and youthful egotism, and strive to begin with a humble opening and THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 81 strive for recognition through true worth, and not through inflated tales of past accomplishments. Another thing, the university has no place for the loafer. The man who dawdles over his work wins speedily the contempt of instructors and classmates alike. The close of each each semester finds seventy-five or one hundred students leaving for home with sore eyes or to help father in the bank. They failed to acquire a sense of values in their college life. They did not have the ability to apportion their time correctly between study and recreation when the movies or vaudeville beckoned they were tempted, and fell. In closing, I would emphasize the importance of the university students participating in some outside activity, for the one who devotes all his time to books is worse than a flunker. Instead of developing, he fossilizes. A well balanced education should be every college man's aim, and the responsibility rests entirely on him. If he fails, he has only himself to blame.-DONALD COMPTON. A math Illrnm Au GMD Eng So many years have passed and so many things have happened since my days in the high school that I have not the temerity, save only in a small way, to attempt the role of an historian. Times have so changed and things with them that when I read or hear about the work and the life of the student of today, I must pinch myself to realize that once I was one of the self-same happy boys who year after year climb the same old hill to the High School. The memory of my High School days is like an impressionistic painting. The detail is not clear. The event and the day do not stand out vividly. But the whole picture with its joyous freshness of youth and its feeling almost idyllic stands and will stand always. I wish simply to say a word about the one person who connects the memory of my school days with today and makes it very vivid and very real. As the years go by, I find myself forgetting more and more the books we studied, the games we played and the material surroundings in and out of the old school house. Year after year more vividly, however, do I remember the work of the teachers who struggled with us and gave us so much that is enduringg so much that does not depend on school houses or laboratories or books. Happy and fortunate indeed is the school which can connect its years with a teacher of high ideals, fine ability, infinite patience and great personal charm. In this respect the Tomah High School truly is fortunate. Miss Keifer taught the boys of my day to be manly, to do honest and thorough work, to be con- siderate and courteous. Through the years following almost contin- uously she has given her best to the young people of Tomah. She has done more for the High School than its new buildings and new equipment. She has inspired loyalty in the graduates, and by reason of her long service 82 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL has made them feel that the High School is indeed their school. I pay my tribute to one of Tomah's first citizens-Adeline Keifer. E. H. CAssELs. :lf wk wk THE COLLEGE MAN lt was my general impression when in high school, that to be a college man and to possess the college spirit one would have to have leather lungs, wear a small cap on the back of his head, or I imagined a college man was like the picture of young men often displayed by clothing es- tablishments in showing the public the latest styles. It is true there are men of that type in every educational institution, but the average col- lege man is far from comparison with the above mentioned type. The college man of today is the one who is getting the most out of everything in his college career, and he gets it by application. The field of study is not confined to the classroom but to things outside that may be of interest to anyone. Some of the most prominent men of the day, in political, business and religious work often lecture to college students and thus the education is by far broader than one would naturally think. In college one is confronted everywhere with the statement It's up to you to make good. This instills confidence in one's self and makes one feel just what a responsibility is like. I have often heard the state- ment that a person is judged in college by the record made during his first year. This has also been stated by upper classmen of universities that it is up to every person who intends to enter college to make good his first year, get a good record and then live up to it. And to those who are in high school nowg profit by those ten minute talks given in the assembly room every morning.eR. O.

Pk Pk Pk English literature Shakespeare was the greatest poet, That England ever had, Still there was John Milton, And he was not so bad. They both could write of nature, From the forest to the oniong This makes us think of a couple more, And one is, Old John Bunyan. Another one was that Goldsmith, A spendthrift he was right. And every new place he'd move in With the landlady he would fight. THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Wordsworth's poem on Immortality Is certainly going some, It makes us English students wish, That Wordsworth had died young. Among the poems of all the poets, There is not a bit of rot, Just to keep this junk in rhyme We'll stick in Walter Scott. England's great poets are numberless, As all the English sharks, know, Another we should not forget, Is that popular Daniel De Foe. De Foe did write that bully yarn That people admire so, The story of that ship-wrecked man, Namely of Robinson Crusoe. Southey, Coleridge, and Robert Burns, Were as great as they could be, But Robert loved the lassies, As by his poems we see. Next to the lassies he did love, The land wherein he dwelt, And when we sing his beautiful songs, His love for nature is felt. The Lay of the Ancient Mariner ls an interesting verse, The wedding guest thought, the Mariner Had just stepped from a hearse. Even a poetess in this age lived, By the brilliant name, Jane Austin, A more proficient we'll never find, From Frisco' through to Boston. Byron, Shelley, Swift and Keats, All were not very slow, To understand all that they wrote Sure makes us fellows go. Charles Lamb we sure should not forget, Who wrote of China Town, And how the Chinks did get roast pig, That story don't go down. Through the poems of all these poets, We daily have to work, And little does the teacher know Of the thoughts that in us lurk. We say that these poets are great, And of their works we are fond, But we wish that these wonderful poems had stayed On the English side of the pond. 4 irertnrg The following names and addresses of graduates of the Tomah High School have been compiled from what records we could SQCUFG I Class of '80 Ida Miller, Tomah, Wis.

There were many kinds of missiles, Everything that we could find, Was set sailing o'er the schooldesks, And we never thought they'd mind. Suddenly a door was opened, No one ever heard it, tho: And Miss Rice, our History teacher, Saw all that great big show. Nuff said, let's change the subject But I hope you'll understand, That this very simple playtime Did require a reprimand. Our Professor knew no other That would humiliate the boys So he sent them with the Freshmen And excluded many joys. One by one they're re-appearing, But one lesson they have learned To behave themselves correctly Tho' the teacher's back is turned. fAGNES MURRAY The mumps It darted here, it darted there! What?

Not by the Prof. to be outdone Hoag with the Mumps went home on the run. Those Mumps. Ruth Diemer was not to be missed She also joined the increasing list The Mumps. Lyla, the belle of Brindleville Was right there to F111 the bill She hurried home in jerky jumps And gave herself up to The Murnps. So bumps and jumps and lumps and humps Sure had a jolly time: They joined and formed into the Mumps, And marched through the High School line. fL. L. ?Rippetarg ee1lTnur marks Before Brahuatinu We came up to the high school just about four years ago, The way that those four years have passed sure is not very slow, We've passed from Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, We're Seniors now today, And anywhere upon the street you'll always hear us say: Chorus' fltls not a long way to graduation, Just a few weeks for us, We are looking with expectation, For that Diploma Omnibus, So cheer up guys and be merry, Let this be our cry, We'll remember good old Tomah High School When years have gone by. The way was hard, the grade was steep, we daily had to work, You never saw this Senior class ever try to shirk, When we're gone from High School and our names have ceased to ring, .lust try and do remember us as we stand here and sing:-CHORUS.

Save it. Not a large amount, you say? No, you're right, yet it represents ten per cent. interest on one dollar for a year. lt's the little things that count in this life. History tells us that the Duke of Wellington attributes the victory of the Allies at Waterloo to the closing of the Hugomont Castle gates by James McDonnell and John Graham. It was a small thing. But the results have been marvelous as we look back over the intervening years. Philip D. Armour knew the value of little things. They say he packed every- thing but the last breath of a hogfutilizing the waste in the manufacture of by-products made him wealthy. The small boy by sticking his finger in the leak in the dam saved Holland from devastation. A few drops of water on a stone make no impression athe constant drip wears away the stone. The little point on the auger prepares the way for the large bored hole. A single grain of corn produces from one to two perfect ears. And so the little DIME is a part of a dollar. Dollars at interest pro- duce dollars just as surely as the seed sown on rich ground brings forth an abundant harvest. Then save the DIME. Watch it grow.

What about the next ten yearsfthen he will be a man. You will expect him to earn his own way when he is twenty. Are you preparing him for the time he must go out into the world? Has he any knowledge of business, the uses of money, its value and im- portance? Does he spend all that comes to him by favor? Have you taught him to save? Every father realizes the importance of good habit training and it is true that a bank account teaches the child the things he should know about the value of money and the benefits of saving better than any book knowledge he can ever absorb. 51.00 will open an account with this bank Farmers' : and : Merchants' : Bank T.
