'Twenty is leaving you now, Tomah High Her voices will sound through thy class rooms no moreg But you will inspire in others, as in us That spirit that's won you your laurels of yore. Yes, Tomah High, 'Twenty's now now leaving you But be sure that oft as we pause in life's whirl Our minds will hurl back to our dear school days And to you, second mother, our jewel and pearl. Other classes have left you as we leave you now But none loved you more than do we who write thisg We'll be with you in spirit, on campus and floor And thy glory will surely be also our bliss. .lust one more short word ere we leave you our High Concerning a keepsake we're leaving for you , . . . . Tis this little book, not perfection, we know, But by lt please often recall us anew. -THEODORE KAMPMAN, '20

HAMOT '20 24 TOMAH HIGH Class History of l92O I. CHRONICLE N THE SIXTH DAY, in the ninth month, in the year of our Lord, nineteen sixteen, there entered into this land of learning six-and-seventy seekers of knowledge. Some came from the eighth grade, where they had for many months been busily engaged in storing their minds with the honey of wisdomg while others were green and fresh from a far country. And it came to pass, as they did enter this land that they were received with great rejoicing and with malicious glee by a certain band of wild beings called sophomores, who, because of their fierce taste for freshman blood, did pour upon them daily and nightly and did cause them to suffer great things. Y And as they dwelt long in the land, they fell in with the customs of the inhabitants, their strangeness wore od, and they became as one among the rest. Nevertheless, the tribe agreed that a King was needed, and Kenneth .lohnson was chosen to rule their realm. The band of freshman with their mighty physical and intel- lectual power, did think it necessary to start practice in basket-ball, for competing with other teams in future years, and they proved very successful. And it came to pass, that after some months many left this land of learning, and began to make excuse. One saith, I am poor in health, therefore I cannot remainf, Another saith, I must needs toil at home, therefore I must leave and thus did this class decrease in numbers, until the whole number at the end of the Hrst year was sixty-four. 2. CHRONICLE Now it came to pass at the beginning of the second year, that a new band of youths did come up from the adjoining territory, and the Class of 'zo in the dignity of their pro- motion, remembered the days of their own greeness, and as the sophomores of their day had done unto them, even so did they do unto these new freshmen and did show no mercy unto their sufferings. A new King, Howard O'Leary, was chosen, and Viona Beane and Karyl Aller were his aids. The football team would have been led in the paths of affliction had it not been for Nipe and Bucco. Then as the class had gone on its several ways for many moons its eyes were turned toward vacation. Five fair damsels and virtuous youths left the fold that year, and they did forthwith stray to distant lands. Thus ended the Sophomore year, and its numbers were lessened to sixty-three. 3. CHRONICLE Now in the year eight and ten, on the third day of the ninth month, the juniors be- thought themselves of the work which was before them. They all rushed to school and when they saw the sophomores and the freshmen running wildly about the halls, they began to do likewise so that their mighty chieftain warned them and he spake, saying, Thou shalt not follow after them, turn away from their childish pranks for thou art juniors and worthy to be called 'Upper Classmenf 'l And they did as their chieftain commanded them and straightway they became more eager to begin their work. Then all the members of the tribe gathered themselves together that they might choose a King to rule over them, and they elected William Moran to the place of honor, and he did rule over the juniors and did execute justice to all.
