HAMOT 'E8 24 TOMAH HIGH Senior Class History HTLN on September f, IQI4, we modestly rapped on the portals of Tomah High, a rather impudent Sophomore stopped us witl1 this question, Do you people realize that brains are needed in this illustrious establishment ? But even i11 those days we were gifted with a silver tongue and so we quickly reioined, Certainly we do. That's iust why we are looking for a iob here. We ca11 safely say that we have up- held this reputation to the present day. VVe do not inte11d to bore our readers with a lengthy account of our wonderful career during the last four years as has been the custom of other classes in the past. We are much too modest and unassuming to adopt any such course. Tl1e old maxim that actions speak louder than vvordsuhas applied to our caseso well,that it has been used by us in tl1e past and will in the future. Hence, Illlllly words will not be needed to set forth our greatness. VVe clain1, and in this hir. Bray agrees with us without a doubt, tl1at the record which a class makes in scholarship is tl1e best example of true greatness. So let us review our past in these lines. VVe'll concede, though we stood hrst in our Freshman year, that was only natural as first year men always win the blue ribbon. In our Sophomore yearhowever, we won the high honors by real work, and we can say this unblushingly despite the jealous scoffs and ieers of our malignant foes. During our third year we stayed up among the leaders, although everyone admits the .lunior year is the hardest one in school. Now we come to our fourth year. Thus far, we have accomplished wonders in Physics a11d Ameri- can History, and we simply have gotten all classes that have gone before us backed off the map. As to our athletic and debating prowess, we need say little l1ere, but refer you again to our maxim quoted above. VVe have also made a record in social affairs. No other class has ever had the number of parties which we have had. Another thing in which we showed our superior brain power was in the election of our class officers. Tl1e following: ALVIN HOPP .....................,...........,....,,........ President laugna Fox ...... ........,. V ice President VERNA PHILLIPS ...... ,.........,,.............. S ecretary and Treasurer Are absolutely tl1e pick of our class 2lIlCl handle affairs in a style whiel1 would do credit to tl1e legislative department of any corporation. l11 closing we ask you all to attend with diligence our IOI8 Hamot, which our hard- working staff, witl1 your assistance, hopes to make the best Annual ever put out by any class. When we've departed from old Tomah, And of us you hear no more, Remember, we tl1ink of you ever, And those golden days of yore. CORNELU. Luack.

But, as time goes swiftly by VVe can hear the chorus old Singing as in days of yore, 'Neath the dear old White and Gold. IVI. A. C. '18. Ode to School Clock At 8:45 I jump out of bed And into the clothes by my side. At 8:47 I dash down below And chuck a few mouthfuls inside. At 8:51 I run for my coat And breathless I dash through the doorg And madly resolve that for this time at least, That this I will do never more. At nine by the clock on the steeple so tall, I find myself nearing the school. I start out so briskly to run up the stairs Which you all know is breaking the ruleg Jump ever so quickly across the last steps, And into the fateful Main Room, I see, with disgust, as I look at the clock, That the blame thing is pointing at noon.
