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.

There's no boy in the Honor Roll, Who his standing could surpass.

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

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
