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
