LOYAL LEADERS GUIDE GROWTH OF TRADITION Mr. McKean earned his BA. at Milton Col- lege, his M..-X. at the University of VVisconsin and . later attended Chicago and Minnesota Uni- versities. He began his career as principal the year preceding his college graduation and was principal at l,aValle and Loyal, Wlisconsin before the VVorld VVar when he relinquished his job to serve a year in the navy. From Neillsville he came to Tomah where he has served for 20 years. During that time the school building has been im- proved twice, in 1933 and in 1939. To the students, whose number has increased from 355 to 575 since 1922, there are certain traditions linked with HE. Jfsn name. No one can be sure whether he rattles keys or whether there could possibly be two pennies in his pocket. His habit ofrubbing his cheek is comparable to the scratching of the head of other thinkers. Mr. Nlcliean is a prominent member of state, county, and community education and welfare activities. He was president of the YYisconsin Education Association and the State Forensic Board. rv, hIC.'kDAMS F. MCKEAN bliss Mary lNIc.-Xdams, social problems teacher and senior class adviser, became principal of the high school in 1931. She came from the University of Wlisconsin to Tomah in 1923 and has taught in the social science department ever since with the exception of one year when she took a leave of absence. She received her MA. degree from Marquette University in 1941. Of her traits, tact, decisiveness, and common-sense surpass all others. Her students would be surprised to see her in the summer, daubed with printer's ink, substituting as editor of her home town paper, The Muk- wanago Chief. The Board of Education consists of five very able and con- scientious members. liach has children either in grade or high school. President of the board is Frank Drew who is assisted by Dr. T. Sheehy, Archie Chapman, Dr. Howard Syverson, and C. E. Hemsey. Elaine Bollrud is clerk by appointment. Luft la Right: Nlr. Drew, Dr. Sheehy, Dr. Syverson, Nlr. Hemsey, hflr.

In an effort to reveal their personalities, extensive research work has been completed and we are passing it on to you.

Mrs. Haug, the first of the teachers ostensibly wearing engagement rings to say I dol , thinks it is a waste of time to eat breakfast. fPoor Odvarlj Miss Wenzel, on the other hand, likes to sl p. Her recipe for a pleasing personality is: ' ' to bed early and get up late. Miss XY ers is an inexhaustible person who dislikes .. ads which contain vitamins essential to all phy. edf' teachers. Changes in personality of several of the faculty's fairer sex around lfebruary 26 is accounted for by the ten-day diet which bliss Sell supervised in addition to teaching the arts of home-making. The diet was advocated by Miss Manske whose secret ambition is to be a phy. ed. teacher and she looks oh-so-nice in sport clothes. H. BIZER L. .lotlxsox HERBERT BIZER, B..-X.

The renowned cook of the fems is Miss McGlachlin who says that when Sir Francis Bacon said reading maketh a full man , he must have known she does her own cooking. Miss Reiser does a variety of things well: cook- ing, sewing, reading among them. Miss Crain likes to travel if it is by car to Mexico or on her bike to Tunnel City. Miss Schuelke, the astronomy addict, spends her leisure time serving the community on the library board and in church activities while the invincible cribbage player is Miss Johnson be- Mr. Nelson, who broke a tradition by discon- tinuing Michigan Quizzes, has a good tenor voice even in explaining physics problems. VVhen Mr. Neilsen exercises his vocal chords it is usually about the clever goings-on of son johnny. Mr. Stockton, an expert marksman and careful craftsman, spends his leisure time listening to major league games, while Miss VVendt's diver- sions of swimming and sail-boating are self- explanatory when one learns she lives near Lake Geneva. Like students, teachers do not always bow to the traditional trend of their profession. Students may be surprised to learn that teachers, like themselves, are human.

After the ballots had been counted it was found that once again Leone Wakeheld had been chosen class secretary-treasurer, a position she has held every year since she began her studies as a freshman in 1938. Fleven days later the Senior Class assembled in the auditorium but this time it was Kathleen Dohlin who called the meeting to order and had charge of the activities. Carlton Schmidt and Carrol Grapel showed talent as they sent forth sweet music from their violin and clarinet, respectively. Miss Mc.-Xdams and Leone Wakefield gave short talks on how to tit oneself for future work. At another meeting two members of Tomah High School alumni told the students about their experiences as freshmen in college. my F. ALBRECHT R. ALDERMAN S. ALLEN J. ALLER E. ANDRES B.

The elective sub- jects are bookkeeping, commerce, home economics, manual arts, geography, chemistry, agriculture, and I,atin. Besides the regular curricular activities, the seniors, like all I other classes, have other interestsg one of the most popular is dancing. It was lor this reason that on Qctoher 1' the Senior Class sponsored a lfoothall Hop in honor of the 'I'omah vs. Reeds- lnurg game. Dancing hegan immediately after the game was Finished and lasted until live-thirty. Music was furnished hy Guy Lomlmardo, Kay Kayser, Russ Morgan and other hands that every- one enjoys hearing.

The day on which the Senior Class reaches its ulti- mate goal in 'llomah High School, the day on which a good many of its high ideals are realizedg Graduation. After four years of work and study the memlmers of the Senior Class are brought to a realization that the way to their future success in life has been paved. It is with a mixed feeling, very different from any other ever experienced, that the graduate accepts his diploma. He is now ready to go out alone and lead his own way to his own success -or failure, it is now all up to the individual himself. Sunday night, May IO, is Baccalaureate, the night on which the seniors have their Apep talk' to lead them on. It is with the words of this night in mind that the Senior Class of 1942 departs, diploma in hand, from the Tomah High School forever to lnegin as an adult. hu.. t ..-.1 .3 1 ...E -N P. KENNY E C.

N AGGQRESSION SHOWN IN OUTSTANDING WAYS With the usual smiles and grumbles and timid Ifreshmen Iask- ing, Would you please help me open my lock- er? , the school year of 1941-42 got under way. There were a number of changes around school and even some of the juniors were confused Cmo- mentarily, of coursej by the reversed traffic system. There were new teachers, too, and the juniors were quite for- tunate in this respect. Miss Manske, the new class a d vis o r also teaches a required sub- ject, history. QAnd incidentally, M i s s Manske's tests can fa- vorably compare with the hardest of those Michigan quizzes we've heard so much about.J English III, the other required subject, is taught by Miss Wenzel, also a newcomer and by Miss McGlachlin. Of the elective subjects a l g e b r a , geometry, chemistry, and short- hand seemed the most popular. Typing, home economics, m a n u a l a r t s , agriculture, or Latin could also be chosen.

Harmel, G. Fuchs. Next, because the treasury was -in need of funds for the coming Junior Prom, the class decided to have an open party after the Tomah-Sparta football game. All the students who came to dance, drink pop, and have fun got their dime's worth. Even the score didn't matter. 24 Deck the halls with boughs of holly. That's what the juniors did at Christmas-time, only they included the study hall and the auditorium. The idea was to put everyone in the good old Christmas spirit and it was the general opinion that the idea was a success. IS PRACTICE FOR THEIR SENIOR DAYS TOP PIC'I'URl'l-Back Row: VY. Hutson, Y.

This period was de- voted to the cleaning of lockers, textbooks, classrooms and gym clothes with some at- tention given to brush- ing up on manners. Things are supposed to happen on Friday the 13th and they really did happen at Tomah High School, for Feb- ruary the 13th was the date of the social event of the year, Junior Prom. The theme this year was Romance with a Valentine setting and the program was es- pecially good. Along in the middle of October after quite a bit of last minute scrambling, the first copy of a school news- paper, The Argus , was published. Philip Mork was the editor of this issue and Jessie Palmer handled the next junior issue which came out just before Christmas. Row: M. Steinmetz, Ii. Zingler, A. Zellmer, M. YVappler, D. Ziegler, A.

Juniors receiving this distinc- tion during the first semester were Gordon Brown, Harriet Holm, Robert Ninneman, Jessie Palmer, and Avis Steele. And we're proud to report that the juniors led all the other classes in the number of All A students. 25 The juniors also sponsored the Washington program. The chairman was Kathryn Guhl and speeches were given by William Hubert, Robert Ninneman, and John Fick. Music was furnished by the band, the boys' chorus, and Martha Ann Thouvenell. Also the fifth and sixth graders of the Miller School danced a minuet. WITH UPPER CLASSMEN WE CAN COMPETE- On September sec- ond, nineteen hundred and forty-one, through the portals of old To- mah High School, docked a group of lads and lassies called the sophomores. The year before they were very green freshmen but now they boldly s t e p p e d forward as Sunny for maybe even Sophisticatedj Sopho- mores. Indecidingwhat sul'- jects to take, they had a wide selection from which to choose. Alge- bra, typing, Latin, ag- riculture, home eco- nomics, and manual arts plus the required English II taught by Miss Reiser and world history, taught by the class sponser, Miss Schuelke. E a r l y in October c l a s s elections were held. After the ballots had been counted and recounted the returns were: president, Wil- liam Benjamin, vice- president, Ellen Bur- singer: secretary-treas- urer, Martha Ann Thouvenellg and ser- geant-at-arms, Gordon Snider.

First on the Social Calendar came Sophomore Day which fell on October 31. In the afternoon all the parents were invited to visit school and were entertained by a program. This pro- gram consisted of speeches by the students and teachers after which a delightful coffee was served. As school rolled along the Yuletide season soon approached. The annual Christmas program was presented by the sophomores. Speeches and read- ings were given and also a playlet Hankies and Hose, in which Lawrence Hubert and Laura Scott took part. Music selections were supplied by the orchestra and the A Cappella Choir. 26 This year sophomore girls served for Junior Prom. They were Jeanette Tralmer, Mary Lou Rose, Anna Rae Harris, Helen Dreier, Laura Scott, Virginia Selow, Charlotte Bur- roughs and Grace Brown. In accord- ance with the theme of the party some of the girls wore red and some white heart-shaped aprons. IN SCHOLARS, MUSICIANS, AND ATHLETES TOP PlC'l'L'RE-Back Row: ml. Kern, R. Miller, H.

Because of Miss Reis- er's active interest the sophomores have shared in the activities of the Red Cross. They are pasting jokes and crossword puzzles in Scrapbooks and making books of other puzzles. Students have made knapsacks to be filled with paper, pencil, post cards, and sewing kits. Ice bag covers and handkerchiefs are also being made. Sophomore boys share in athletic honors with the older students. Foot- ball letters were awarded to Eugene Ronning, Gordon Snider, William Protz, Elmer Grassman, and Kenneth Decorah, a third of season's num- ber of lettermen. William Protz, Kenneth Dams, and Eugene Ronning were also on the first squad of the basketball team. Among those who gulp breakfasts and dash to band practice before eight are: J. Rattunde, F.

INSISTENT WIT SHINES ALL AROUND On September 2 we turned out one hun- dred and sixty - five strong to face the stren- uous task of competing w i t h the Freshman Classes of other years. We weren't as green as we might have been because before school opened Mr. McKean told us the NDo's and HDon'ts at Tomah High School. We had three requir- ed subjects: general science, citizenship, and English I. For a fourth subject we could choose junior business practice, Latin, home economics, manual arts, or agriculture. Our teachers were Messrs. Gunning, Bizer, Weis- happle, Stockton, W e i n e r, and Misses Crain, Wenzel and Sell. We freshmen held a great campaign before our election of class officers and chose our nominees wi t h t h e greatest care. When the election votes were counted we had chosen Alden Mork for class president, Patricia Os- termick for vice-presi- dentg Therese Donovan for secretary-treasurer, and Wade Gilbert for sergeant-at-arms.

The first proved to be so successful that two more were sponsored. At these classes everyone learned how to dance and also had a lot of fun. We all appreciate Miss Water's hard efforts. Our first class meeting was held on October 8. The main business was the decision in favor of sponsoring an all- school party after the Tomah-Maus- ton basketball game. We danced from 9:30 to 11:30 to Onan Vaudell's music. As part of our evening's en- tertainment we led folk dances. 28 The Freshman Class this year had a number of musicians. Thirteen freshmen were members of the band and four were members of the or- chestra. Four well known freshmen had the honor of belonging to the A Cappella Choir. They are Patricia Ostermick, Fredric Greendeer, Daryl Arity and Alden Mork. BUT, NE'ERTHELESS, THEY'RE UPWARD BOUND TOP PlC'l'l'RE-Bark Raw: Al. Lyclen, R. Lemon, C. Puent, P. Olson, B.

Musical num- bers were also given by Mary Lou Thouvenell and Mary Brennan. The Conservation Club interested quite a few of our boys. This is a Junior Conservation Club and a branch of the Conservation Club in Tomah. In this club the boys learn about feeding birds, making pro- tective coverings for them, and con- servation problems. Mr. Gunning advised the boys who worked with the adult group under William Boehm, Sr. VVinchel.

Besides our regular classes we have gym every day and music on Tues- days and Thursdays. Six members of our class are in Junior Band and Jean Buxton is a member of the High School Orchestra. Speaking of music, there have been lots of reports on how well we entertain the Senior High with our vocal ability. 30 The most popular activity among our boys is basketball. Richard Davis, Kenneth Pringle, Robert Gilbert, Dean Habel, Arthur Marquart, Rich- ard Clay, Billy Jeffers, Warren Rose, and Keith Rose take part in it. Mr. Bjorge coaches Junior High basketball and we have played games with several of the smaller schools nearby. FALL ilk? V - -ff' fm fam.

The Tomah Indians began the season with al- most all green material, but Coach Bizer pro- duced a team with plenty of fight even though it didnlt win all its games. In the preliminary game of the season, Tomah played host to a strong New Lisbon team, and beat it in a hard-fought game, I3-I2. The following week the Indians bowed down in defeat 27-o, to the last year's conference winner, Baraboo. Always a strong team, Baraboo was especially good this year with many lettermen on the field. In a strenuous game on the Portage field, the goldmen were defeated by a decisive score of 33-o, by one of the strongest teams in the conference this year. However, the Tomah team was gaining strength and confidence and the Indians staged a come- back on October IO by defeating a strong Viroqua team. The score, 27-12, left a rather comfortable margin to the winners. Still on the upward climb, Tomah played host to Reedsburg and beat them 26-o. Two inopportune fumbles by Tomah, placed VVisconsin Dells in scoring position twice, and they were good enough to take advantage of them. On October 24, they dominated the In- dians, 27-O. Traveling to Richland Center, our Indians played in mud and rain one of the strong- est teams in the conference this year, losing I7-O. Indian braves were practicing furiously for the final game with Sparta. Teachers were in Milwaukee at convention and students were dismissed. Not so the football team, they still held training. On Saturday afternoon they assembled for the last time, and during that practice, in the old tradition, each brave kicked his field goal. Then came the real tradi- tion-the battle between Tomah and Sparta. Nine hundred football-crazy fans, swarmed the campus on that perfect football day, to gaze upon the annual Armistice Day football game between the ancient rivals, Tomah and Sparta. The Indians kicked off and Sparta's Kiko Hahn ran the ball back for a touchdown, but failed to make the attempted field goal. ,Un- daunted, our goldmen marched to the opposite goal and scored seven points, a lead which both the team and the Tomah fans enjoyed for about live minutes, when Sparta intercepted a forward pass for another tally, the goldmen also sup- pressing this extra point. They scored once more before the half, leaving the score 18-7. At the beginning of the third period, the In- dians came out on the field, also confident in the thought that the crimson team could be beaten, and Sparta's victory was challenged, but they intercepted another pass for the final tally of six points. The final score was 24-7, and Sparta took home the 75 mm. shell, the traveling trophy between Tomah and Sparta. The braves say they're ready to go again next year, so here's to the 1942 team. BIG CHIEFS BUILD COUNCIL FIRES This year, Iioothall season started with a hang, with Head Coaches H, Bizer and R. Stockton giving orders and shouting instructions at a promising team. Iriach afternoon after four, Nlr. Nielsen and hflr. Wleishapple, who were in charge of the I3 Squad, could he found on the north held, teaching the hasic principles to the younger hrayes. 4'Coach Bizer started the season with a rather inexperienced team. Hard knocks were plentiful, hut rays of hope appeared as games were played and experience was gained. Foresight and management was used on decisive plays and in all games there was decided skill shown in the handling of the hall for which the credit goes to the coaching statli. The work of Mr. Nielsen and Mr. Weisliapple, hoth teachers in the commercial department, showed results of equal value. Their squads were also put through vigorous practice routine, and, with their handaged arms and humped heads, looked as experienced as the first team. Ilndouhtedly most of the traditions which our coaches adhere to are overlooked hy the students. The coaches do a little over- looking, too, at least Nlr. Bizer does in ruining his hat. Mr. Stock- ton may be making a tradition of riding the hucking machine. It is customary that Mr. Nielsen should he interested in his son, and Mr. Weishapplels attention rallies from the foothall team to his haskethall trainees. six.

AS REDMEN PAINT FOR COMING BATTLE SENIOR LE'Il'I'ER MEN LHTTH R MEN Howard Wilson, honorary captain, served as center for three years and was a good defensive man. Maurice Olson, who played one year as half- back and two years as quarterback, was one of the best scorers. 'lBennie Mee's Flrst year on the first team showed he could give and take alike in the posi- tion of guard. Kenneth Jensen played guard and sometimes eenter in his first year on the team. Robert Sowle made many long gains by doing some fine snaring of' passes in his first year. l'Bert Barry, playing well at both quarter- back and end, was responsible for many yards gained.

T FOOTBALL BANQUET The frosty evening of December I5 found the 1941 football team at the annual banquet pre- pared by Miss Sell and her home economics students. T. P. Donovan, Tomah attorney and former Tomah athlete, gave the main address. lVlr. McKean also spoke and Mr. Bizer awarded 'f'l',s to fourteen football players. Maurice Olson and Howard YTilson each received three stripes, signifying three years' service. Bernard Barry and Reuben Gollnick each received two stripes. Howard NVilson was elected honorary captain by the lettermen. This honor is given to the member of the team whom the players feel to be the best example of sportsmanship and service to the Vllhite and Gold. Howard is a senior with three years of football experience. During the 1941 season a certain senior foot- ball player kept coming down to the dressing room for presumably much needed attention. Finally Coach Bizer warned him about running up bills for medical attention, pointing out the necessity of economy.

XVeiner, are carrying on Farm projects, conducting business, and holding con- ventions to create a greater interest in the prob- lems of agriculture. The club officers are: president, Reuben Gerkeg vice-president, Dale Moseleyg secretary, Bruce Zieglergtreasurcr, Howard Zastoupilg sergeant- at-arms, Neil Morse, and reporter, James Fell. Members are of two classes: the Green Hand and the Future Farmers. On December 9 the boys of the club held a Future Farmers' Parents and Sons Banquet. The Rotary Club, the faculty and the l.ions Club were guests. The total number present was 230. The main speaker was Mr. C. H. Bonsack, Executive Secretary of the Wlisconsin Associa- tion of Future Farmers of America. The business meeting with the club's oHicial ceremony was conducted by Reuben Gerke. Capons raised and killed by members of the club were served bv the home economics department. 'The Kickapoo Valley Chapter, a group of Future Farmers from the nearby counties, met at Tomah High School on January 23 for an all day's session. The main feature oflthe conven- tion was moving pictures ol farm life and farm- ing methods. Future Farmers Batik Roux' G. Snider, B. Hubert, A. Hamilton, H. Heser, K. Jensen, A. Roches- ter, R.

The Agricultural Department provides an opportunity for young men interested in farm- ing to become better acquainted with the prac- tical application of theory taught in the class- room. The theory is put into practice by each boy's carrying a farming program throughout the year. The farm program may consist of all enterprises on the farm or may be one or more which have been approved by the instructor. lt develops the mind and attitude ofthe young man and encourages the use of more progressive livestock and marketing practices. F.very opportunity for learning is provided. Visual aids in the classroom, tield trips in the country and experiments help to develop a better understanding of farm problems. Ex- periments and classroom study deal with all phases of farming from the tilling of the soil until the product reaches the consumer. A com- bination of study and practice in the essential problems of farming is the theory upon which the department operates. The agricultural shop, a large well-lighted, and well-equipped ground Hoor room, is hlled with evidences of the boys' practical activities. All the problems of the farmer, from mending a fence to planning his crops, are considered and experimented with. I. Guests ol' the l .l ..-X. alt their czipon dinner . . 2.

The girls elected as olhcers were: president, Geraldine Robertson, vice-president, Lorraine Regaliag secretary, VVilda Betthauser, and treas- urer, Darlene Kuehl. At the beginning of the school year Lyla Zellmer, Vivian Boettcher, Lois Starkey, jane Rattunde, and VVilda Betthauser were chosen to go to the F.l-LA. rally at Fall Hall Glen, near Black River Falls. Every year before this, a certain number of girls were chosen-to go to the Stout Institute to represent Tomah High School. This year the whole club was given the opportunity to go. In the F.H.A. club the girls learned many useful handicrafts such as crocheting and knitting. The club teaches them to become self-conhdent members of the community socially by showing them how to be practical and attractive in their ways of dress. It teaches them to be useful mem- bers of the community group by emphasizing FUTURE HOMEMAKERS Bark Row: E. Darnutzer, C. Rugge, L, Starkey, V. Boett- cher, B. Schmieder, B. Cook, VV. Betthauser, B.

Alvin Nienast and Alden Mork were speakers. In the home economics classes, perhaps the most important project was proper meal planning for health. In this activity the girls learned budgeting time and food planning, which are considered essential to good housekeeping. They learned how to serve properly and became familiar with arranging tables neatly and at- tractively. The girls planned and served breakfasts, luncheons and dinners. Several teachers and outsiders were the guests on different occasions. Students also learned how to carry on proper conversations at the table. The clothing project was the next important unit. Clothing was selected which fitted the girls' personalities. This was decided by the color, material, the print, and the pattern used. The girls chose materials and patterns which were approved by Miss Sell. 42 I. FFA and guests get cake and ice cream from the home economics girls . . . 2.

WHERE SKILLED HANDS M OLD BLENDED DESIGNS It is not uncommon to see boys walking down the halls with sawdust on their trousers and glue on their hngers. 'lihose boys are from the In- dustrial Arts Department. lt is there that boys learn the fundamentals of drawing, blueprinting, woodworking, finishing, and metal working. The student starts out with the drawing board, architectural scale, triangles, compass, and 4,H pencils. Gradually he learns and gains skill on the drawing board. After he has mastered this skill, he must learn to ink drawings and later to make blueprints. With the ending of the first semester the student receives the opportunity he has been waiting for, the chance to apply his skill at the jig saw, the lathe, and thc power and hand tools. During the three years of this study, a student has gained knowledge of drawing and wood- working. The last semester of the third year is devoted to sheet metal work and construction of large buildings is also taken up. lt is the tradition of the lndustrial Arts De- partment to keep the school in general repair, and to make useful articles for the school. October 23. The seniors took up the challenge of publishing a better paper. A gold sheet was added to cause disturbance. Remember how john Garman ran around while acting as editor? Result: new heel plates. Everyone was wonder- ing why Jim Downs came back to school in the Fall but before long it was plain that something new had been addedfujean Steele .

SCHOOL SPIRIT MOVES AS AMUSEMENT REIGNS The Carnival, as much a tradition as Christmas and Chemistry Smells, was given by the school for the beneht of HThe Hamotn on November 27. All the faculty members and two-thirds of the students aided The Hamotf' Curtain going up on the Nineteen Forty-two Hamot Hourfn That was the cry of frolicking barkers advertising the Main Show being given in the auditorium, with Mrs. Haug as faculty chairman. Yes, the curtain went up on a stirring radio relief program featuring the Tomah High School Band playing the overture to The Student Prince and The Child Prodigyn, starring Gerard Darrow Cjohn Drewj. The Tunnel City Troupers presented a revised version of Romeo and .luliet . Cockles and Muscles and an unique Cowboy Dance were the contri- bution of the Dance Club. Also as a Main Show feature the orchestra members played a group of folk melodies en- titled, The Peddlern, 4'Sally, My Dear , and Pirie Canal. The colorful finale, a group of Victor Herbert melodies, was given by the :X Cappella Choir. And The l.amp Went Out , 'LThe County Fair , Spook,s Paradise , 'Slides and Moving Pictures , Tomah Celebritiesv, and the Hall of Freaks were other features of the Tomah High School Carnival.

That word can be used to describe the procedures of th: Science Club as, with Mr. Nelson's help, they carried on experiments concerning cosmetics and materials. Many of their findings are important to the consumer. They found, for instance, that face creams soften the skin, but do not nourish it. After experiments with cloth, club members advise that, in launder- ing a wool sweater. a mild soap and lukewarm water be used. Al. ways mend woolen lathing suits with cotton rather than rayon thread for cotton is the stronger fiber. These and other findings are of genf eral interest. The scientilic procedure involved in soap making was the subject of a meeting in March. Actual experimentation made the process an interesting one to members. That tell-tale spot can be taken out and Science Club members know just what to use. 'When water won't do it some other cleaning agent must be substituted. After trying various cleaning fluids club members were well aware of their different properties. Such studies as these made the club of real importance to the students who par' ticipated. The easily applied knowledge gained demonstrated the value of science in everyday life. The twenty-live members of the club elected as their oflicers: Gean Schroeder, president, Billy Benjamin, vice-president, Patricia Morrin, secretary-treas.zrerg and Robert Gabower, sergeant-at-arms. Nliss Wlenzel and her thirty-six Dramatics Club members have been active this year in putting on plays, studying dramatic technique, and sponsoring a dance for the benefit of the other high school students. lalach of the students is required to earn ten points for active membership. These points are earned by taking part in or writing plays, by being on com- mittees for dances and plays, and by direeting skits and stunts. The election shows that women rule. Audrey Oden is president, Shirley Franz was elected as vice-president: Ellen Bursingcr acts as secretary- treasurerg and -lcssie Palmer holds the position of sergeant-atfarms. Programs dealt with problems of particular interest to ambitious young actors. The pleasure the amateur derives from dramatic activity is realized by these students. They will be an influence in community theater projects. WINTER N, g That joyful sound, the dismissal bell, rmgs and the doors burst open as students rush home.

Boxing, intramural basketball, and volley-ball are still minor athletics, but are gaining more prominence in the sports field. Guest speakers and University Extension programs lend to the school entertainment, in addition to Junior Prom and holiday programs. S 'Qi-52 Q , W 'Ig Q .

XVith only three seniors back this year, Coach VVeishapple's basketball team showed an in- experienced lineup. This handicap was apparent in the early games, but as the season wore on, the skillful coaching and faithful practice effected smoother teamwork. The first game at YYest Salem came along be- fore the coach had had hardly enough time to pick a starting lineup. The game ended in VVest Salem's favor, I7-IS. In the next game with Yiroqua, there, the team found itself by defeating the southern foes, 20-18. In the First home game of the season, a strong and veteran New Lisbon team won a heart- breaking victory from the Tomah YYarriors in the last minutes of play, 23-21. The next week a tall, lanky quintet with Mauston written on their jerseys scored 21 points while holding the Indians to 7 in the second home game of the year. On December 16, appearing on the Tomah floor for the first time in many years, l.a Crosse Aquinas showed plenty of class by defeating the home quintet, 34-12. Traveling northward the Indians were de- feated by Durand to the tune of 21-16. The second non-conference contest at New Lisbon ended in disaster for Tomah when the Home Guard scored 38 points to Tomah's 16. Playing host to XVestby, the Tomah Indians did an about face by handing them a defeat, 28-IS, thus proving to the loyal fans, who fol- lowed a losing season with eager interest, that they could win. I-Iey, they can't do that to usl :X very strong I,a Crosse I.ogan team played host to Tomah and showed them how it was done, 42-13. An avenging spirit from Viroqua came to town and eked out a win by a free throw in the closing seconds of the ball game, I7-I6. In the annual non-conference game at Tomah, the Eau Claire Vikings scalped the Indians 34-21. 4 At Mauston, in return for the compliment of an earlier defeat the Tomah Wlarriors mowed 'em down , 39-29. Here it is, folks. The Great Rivals of Moxiroe County played their first game of the season at Tomah on February 6. A powerful rally in the fourth quarter by Tomah wasn't quite enough. Sparta beat, 24-21. 'Wye did it before and we can do it again, sang the Indians as they journeyed to VVestby and came back with a scalp, 28-II. I'Iere's that team again! A somewhat revised Tomah team couldn't solve I.ogan's offense. Logan led at the bell, 4I-IS. The return game at Sparta, one of the best games yet played between the schools looked like a complete rout when Tomah led at the first quarter 12-2. A powerful team cannot be denied however, and Sparta nosed into the lead at the end, Zl-ZO. WW LED BY FAMED CHIEFTAIN So a coach's life is all autographs and victory speeches? XYho ever said so? Not our Mr. XVeishapple and Mr. Nielsen. A coaclfs life to them means hours in the gym telling awkward lmoys how to do what they could so much better do themselves. It means hours in the stuffy dressing room winding tape, checking equipment, and exhorting and persuading a drooping team. It means days when food d0esn't taste like food, even when served by a pretty, concerned wife. Coaches find rewards in the affection and respect the boys feel for them and in the satisfaction of seeing boys work for the team's interest, not their own. YV. VV. Wleishapple knows athletics from high school, college at River Falls, and coaching experience at Durand and Tomah, Permitted three wishes, he'd ask to referee occasionally from the sidelines, change the date of Prom, and find a real basket-shooter. Mr. Nielsen, assistant coach, trained the BU squad which played a good season this year. RW Coach YV. YV. Weishapple is out- standing in leadership and good humor.

The lndians played Galesville in a fast and close game with Galesville winning, 21416. When an inspired Mindoro team beat Sparta 25-21, the schedule called for an afternoon game between Tomah and Sparta. ln a game between two rivals there is apt to be a lot of fouling and low scores. This game was no exception as it ended with the score for Sparta I5 and for Tomah T2 after some breathless moments for fans of both teams. Galesville went on to trim the Arcadia team and to win the Tournament Championship. Sparta won the consolation honors. 1 941-42 1,1','1 1'i1 R MEN Maurice Olson .... . .Guard Robert Schueler. . . . .Guard YYilliam Protz .... . .Guard Ernest YVallace. . . .Center Eugene Ronning. . . .Center Alfred Strozewski. . .

In the winter, he sits behind the mike and announces fouls and substitu- tions to the basketball fans. In between times he comes to speak at mass meetings or to show his complicated gadgets for eating soup with honor or warding off the spatter of a grapefruit. For twenty years he has been a faithful, unofficial aide to Tomah High's athletic department. As a true alumnus he returns to show his comrades he's loyal as of old.

There were five people chosen by a faculty committee to lead the students' cheers. During the football and the basketball seasons, Gerry Pringle, Shirley Franz, John Drew, Irene john- son, and Beverly l.arrabee lent stirring contri- butions to the victory of the YVhite and Gold and the spirit of the students. Their smiling faces and ardent cheers added to the pugnacious spirit of the braves.

Mrs. Haug and Kathleen Dohlin did their musical bit by leading pep songs. James Fell, as head manager, with Scott Roeder and Lowell Cox as assistants, made up the basketball managers' corps for the past year. All three were praised by Coach VVeishapple as efficient, hard working managers who did a fine job of taking care of the equipment, dressing rooms, and the athletes. Jimi and Conde usually held forth in the equipment and dressing rooms keeping track of playing equipment and uni- forms. Scott was chief in the training room where he helped the coaches tape knees and ankles and rub out charlie horses. jim Fell will receive a letter at the annual basketball banquet as a reward for two years of service. 1.

Intramural recreation, a pleasant feature of winter athletics for both boys and girls, includes noon-hour recreation and F.lf.A. basketball. Students have an opportunity to engage in com- petitive sports on their own level of ability and to enjoy pleasant contacts with fellow students. Noon-hour recreation is under the able leader- ship of bliss Waters, physical education director, and is held each day between 12:15 and 12:45 in the old gymnasium. Games such as volley- ball, deck tennis, shufiieboard, pingpong, side- walk tennis, and several marble and board games are available for boys and girls. Noon-hour recreation provides wholesome en- tertainment for rural students who must remain in school during the noon-hour. During the winter days, when it is undesirable for many of the rural boys and girls to leave the school, this recreation hour furnishes the necessary break between morning and afternoon classes. Meni- bers of the GA..-X. help bliss Waters with this supervised play period. l5.l'i.A. Basketball, coached by Mr. Weiner, of the agriculture department, is also a noon-hour sport. However, it is open only to members of the lfuture Farmers' Organization who have desirable records. This season fifteen boys came down to practice several noons each week to keep up the fine spirit and work of this organiza- tion. By vote of the club, it was decided that all outstanding basketball players would receive letters from the organization. This year the team played six games with Sparta, NYestby, the UB team, and the faculty. The highlight of the season's schedule came on blarch 4 when the boys challenged the men's faculty team. The boys fought a hard game but were defeated, 30-IQ, by an overpowering, over- spirited, and out-winded group of teachers. Nevertheless, the boys wait for a chance to play the faculty again next year. The main objective of this type of sport, is to provide recreation for boys and girls, who do not participate in interscholastic sports or other activities. In this way, students learn the value of cooperative play along with their school work. 1. jump ball! So the game begins . . .,Z. VVhat's the matter -shoe trouble? . . . 3. They'reatit again . . . 4.

A PASTIME SPORT WITHIN THE SCHOOL BOYS PUT FORTH A DEFENSIVE GLOVE With only a few seniors graduated in 1941 and the qualification of some fast freshmen, the Tomah High School boxing team showed some real ability this year in a successful season. Coach Herb Bizer taught his men the art ofoffensive and defensive tactics. The championship bouts to determine who would mal-ze up the team were held on lN1arch 9. The results are as follows: Herbert Mee and William Pierce fought a fast exhibition boutg Harry Runnels defeated Randall Litzenbergg Lester Willman defeated Howard Bernhardtg Robert Sorenson drew with Kenneth Zellmerg Harley Erbs defeated Charles Rabeg Allan Neas defeated jay Frost, Niel Morse defeated Harold Vllestphalg Donald Darnutzer defeated Richard Rabeg VVilliam Bradshaw and Robert Jensen fought to a draw, LeRoy Frost defeated Willis Hansen, Gordon McGinnis and Robert Soren- son fought an exhibition, Robert Sowle defeated john Graf, Robert Cole won by a T. K. O. over Roy Deere. The following Monday the fighters furthered Tomah's interest in boxing by defeating VVOne- woc's fast and hard-hitting club, 8-3. Three T. K. O.'s and one K. O. helped to clinch the final score. The boys who won their fights were: I.esl' Hillman, Bob Cole, Stan Erikson, Bob Sowle, Bob Sorenson, Ken Zellmer, Don Darnutzer, and Gene Ronning. There was considerable personal rivalry be- tween the two teams when on Nlarch 23, Tomah defeated Hillsboro 65-gh. There were three T. K. Ofs for Tomah and one for Hillsboro. The following won their fights: 'AHerbie blee, Ken Zellmer, Bohn Cole, Stan Erikson, Bob Sowle, Morrie Olson, Elmer Grassman, and Gene Ronning. VVhen three hundred pounds of hghting fury hit the ropes, something has to give. In the final bout of the evening be- tween Elmer Grassman of Tomah and Miller of Hillsboro, the ring post supports gave way, so, for the duration, the ropes had to be held up by several bystanders. VVith only two graduating seniors, next year's prospects look very encouraging for Coach Bizer and the team. Boxing is a comparatively new sport in Tomah High but one which is steadily gaining a wide following among students and townspeople. Following popular basketball in the interest of sports fans it gives way to baseball. 1. Round one, ten seconds to go . . . 2. Morris Olson poses for the birdie . . . 3.

Miss NYaters, the supervisor of the decorating committee, and Kathryn ,lean Guhl, the chairman, worked long hours on the details. The refreshments, under Miss Sell's and Geraldine Rohertson's supervision, also care ried out the Valentine theme with red punch and Valentine cookies. Miss McGlachlin, bliss Manske, and .lohn Drew were heads of the committee which planned the program built around the idea, Romance, Then and Now . The singing of selections from Victor Herbert hy a special choral group introduced the pro- gram. A trio composed of Ann Drew, Lorraine Gibbs, and Patty Kenny sang This ls No Laughing Matter . lfor conf trast a quartette composed of .lohn Drew, john Pick, Scott Roeder, and Robert Ninneman showed how singing was done in grandpa's days by singing K'Southern Memoriesn. lfive couples demonstrated the stately waltz and l.a Conga as two different modes of expression. These couples were: john Garman and .lessie Palmer, Richard Heilman and ,leanette Meyer, Donald Langston and Harriet Holm, and Philip Mork and Shirley Franz. Following the dance a skit was given showing Romance, Then and Nown, the characters were: Richard Heilman, Trene johnson, Scott Roedcr, and Geraldine Pringle. The prov gram closed with the choir singing Sweet- heartsn. The music for this gala event was fur- nished by Bob Clark and his orchestra. Mr. Nyc and ,lack Gilbert headed the com- mittee. Other committees which contributed to this year's Prom were the publicity com- mittee headed by Mr. Neilsen and Patricia Betthauser and the ticket committee headed by Mr. Nelson and John Graf. The Grand March was led by King Philip I and his queen, Shirley. They were attended hy the other junior officers and the senior ofhcers and their partners. About fifty couples attended this annual party given by the ,lunior Class for the Seniors.

Juniors Promenade at Valentine Ball Entertainers Come to Grace Our Hall Programs can be divided into four general classes: holiday observances, mass meetings, party entertainment,and Extension Division performances. Occasionally there are addi- tional lecture numbers added to the schedule. The seniors give the Armistice and Thanksgiving programsg the juniors, the NYashington's Birthday program, the sopho- mores, the students, Christmas program, and the freshmen, the I,incoln's Birthday program. In addition a special Christmas program is planned for the community. As the lights dimmed and the last strains of 'AChristmas Fantasy were heard, from the upper balcony came the voices of the glee clubs singing Christmas Carols. Thus began the 194.1 Christmas program given hy the Choir, which sang 'KThe Glory of the Lord , Hallelujah Chorusn, Today There is Ringing , and l.ullahyl'5 the Miller School pupils who presented The Christmas Storyng and the orchestra and the glee clubs. The Contemporary Dance Club presented three dances, The Clock Store , 'The Christmas Blocks , and Prayer . Patty Kenny gave a reading en- titled A'Adeste lfidelisn and Martha Ann Thouvenell sang Cantique d' Noel. ufcome on Tomah, SHOW' SOME PliPlll This is one phrase that is one ine dication that there is a mass meeting in the auditorium. lalach mass meeting is spon- sored by a different club or organization. Music, maestro, please! is the request as the girls and boys get together for a dancing party. The music may he furnished by a nickelodeon, a local band, or the Hep Cats. The parties are usually put on hy the clubs, who furnish refreshments and inter- mission entertainment. The Rotary Club of Tomah sponsored four noted speakers who spoke on llnder- standing lnternational Relationships. The student body had the privilege of hearing these men during school hours. Kelly Gibson, Margotls Dancing Balle- rinas, the Radio Sound Man, and the Deep River Singers were the programs put on by the Cniversity lixtension Course.

CURTAIN CALLS AND FOOTLIGHTS Again the curtain was being rung up in the little theater just off Miss McAdam's oflice. lt was the night of February 26. The study hall was packed and the actors were fidgeting behind the curtains. In Tea at Four , a murder mystery by Richard Hill VVilkinson, Alden Mork played the part of Sir Robert Neville found dead as the story opened. Jarvis, his butler played by John Drew, found the body and immediately telephoned the police. Arriving at the house, the inspector, played by Jack Gilbert, and Clancey, a policeman, played by Gordon Brown, rounded up everyone in the house: Barbara Neville, played by Ellen Bursinger, and her fiance, Allen Blaine, played by Robert Ninneman, the Irish cook, Nora, played by lylary Scheurichg Marie, the French maid, played by Helen Johnson, and Ordway, the chauffeur, played by Bernard Barry. The inspector named Jarvis the murderer. VVhile the stage was being set for the second play, the verse choir presented The Congo accompanied by Charles Schroeder and Don Langston as jungle drummers. The Three G's and a BU, Garman, Grapel, Gilbert, and Barry, entertained the audience with jokes and antics. The second play was called The Bond Between . The characters were: Mrs. Haledon, the governor's wife, played by Audrey Odeng her daughter Joan, played by Shirley Franz, Miss Brigg, the efficient secretary, played by Martha Ann Thouvenellg and Mrs. Carson, the mother of a convicted murderer, Kathryn Guhl.

It won first rating in competition with W'estby and Nor' walk. lt received second rating at Onalaska in a contest in which VVestby, Galesville, Onalaska, Tomah, and Cashton participated. Miss VVenzel directed high school dramatics. Although a newcomer to the faculty ranks, Miss Johnson has been suc- cessful in her attempts to interest her ten club members, all girls, in mathe- matics or in the fun that a Math Club can be. The ofhcers are: president, Helen Olmsteadg vice president, june Thor- song secretary-treasurer, Ruth Alder- man, sergeant-at-arms, hlarguerite Bolton. The club meetings usually opened first with the business at hand. Then problems in arithmetic might be discussed, followed by a social program presented by the program chairman and her committee mem- bers. A cordial and intimate group, the club enjoyed its associations and recreation. Through club activities, the members realized thc value of mathematics to modern life as well as received practice in group rela- tionships. Handicraft Club Bark Row: D. Quist, G. Sowle, F.

SCISSORS AND EQUATIONS Aid for the Junior Red Cross motivated the activities of the Handicraft Club this year as personal activities were put aside for patriotic service. Sewing housewives' kits for the soldiers and sailors and making convalescent slippers for men in the armed forces are two of many projects completed by Miss Reiser and her Handicraft Club for the Junior Red Cross. Another project included making utility bags completely equipped with a diary, jackknife, comb, notebook, envelopes, shaving cream, playing cards, and postcards. The housewives' kits consisted of needles, pins, thread, and buttons. All of the girls crocheted colored squares for afghans. The girls also made covers for ice bags, using the material furnished by the Junior Red Cross. Learning to knit was an experience for some of the club members but they practiced casting one and upurling twol' until they could make the regulation scarves and sweaters. An elaborate Christmas supper was enjoyed by the club and its sponsor shortly before Christmas vacation. Christmas games re- placed handicraft for that meeting. Election of officers took place at the second meeting. Returns showed these results: president, Neta Vllendlandg vice-president, Eldora Hoefsg secretary-treasurer, Garcie Wlilliamsg and sergeant- at-arms, Inez Keene. A Matinee Dance was given on October 29 and the proceeds went to the Red Cross Fund. GLIB TONGUES ARGUE NATION'S NEED Our government is not the only institution which receives whole-hearted support when danger threatens. T.H.S. faced invasion in the form of two debate tournaments, the Gateway Area, replacing the South Central, and the tra- ditional League. Breaking all previous records, 32 students rallied around the new coach, Mr. Gunning. Forming its defenses around the question, Re.v0!z'frz': That every able-bodied man in the United States should have one year of full time military training before reaching the present draft age, the squad entered the first practice tournament at Wisconsin Rapids. Net result: three wins, three losses. Reinforcing the case with new arguments and material the teams found their defenses tight against Baraboo, Portage, and Wisconsin Dells. They were then ready for the major offensive. At the League Contest at La Crosse, the deg baters sailed into battle, emerging with four wins, two losses, and 25 points. The contest was lost by one point to Viroqua, twice defeated by Tomah. In an all out preparation for the Gateway Area tournament at Sparta, Tomah held an intra- school debate tournament with eight teams participating. XVhen the noise and smoke of the Battle of Sparta eventually dissolved, opposition had been repelled for the first four rounds, but the last two were lost on a fractional point. January 5.

SPRING PLAY CENTERS AROUND TENNIS COURTS Tennis is a popular spring and summer sport among Tomah young people. The two courts at the high school are usually filled with players while others watch an exciting game or await their chance to play. Both boys and girls can take part in this active outdoor sport and the courts are a summer meeting place. As a school sport, tennis retains an active interest. Coached by Mr. xyeishappie, the fol- lowing boys made up the tennis team last year: Maurice Olson, Henry Rattunde, Philip Mork, Eugene Schaller, Richard Heilman and .Iames Ramsey. Richard Corbet, VVayne Gabower Ernest Wlallace, ,lack Gilbert, Lowell Cox also turned out for the training period. School letters are awarded to players who win half their matches or go to the semi-finals in the district tournament. Olson and Rattunde made up the doubles team against Sparta. lylork, Schaller, Heilman and Ramsey played in singles. At Sparta, the doubles team lost, while lVIork, Heilman, and Ramsey won their matches. ln a return match on the home courts, the doubles team again lost, while Mork, Schaller, and Ramsey won their matches. The conference meet for the northern division of the South-Central Conference was held at Tomah on Saturday, May IO. Five teams took part in the meet: namely, l.a Crosse Logan, Richland Center, Sparta, Viroqua, and Tomah. La Crosse Logan and Richland Center tied for first place, while Sparta, Yiroqua and Tomah finished in that order. The conference meet was held on the school courts, the Indian School court, and the court at Neuman's. High school girls learn to play tennis as a part of their physical education activity and the GAA. usually sponsors a tournament among the girls in the spring. lN1ixed doubles are popular when tennis time comes around.

The girls in the Dance Club spent the greater part of their time in developing moods in music, such as joy, sor- row, events in history, and the months of the year. Miss VVatets directed the group. In the Carnival, Constance l-lopinkah, Yiona Marten, Joyce Kuehl, Myrtle Hopinkah, and Viola Pettibone put on a very unique dance in which costumes created the illusion that they were dancing on their hands. In the Christmas program a group of fifteen girls performed a Clock Store Dance and a Prayer Dance. The club did not have a Christmas party, but to make up for it, a party was held a week after Christmas vacation. They played Bunco and were served cookies and cocoa. The officers for this year were lylarian Tremain, president, Jean Kern, vice-president, and Char- lotte Eberdt, secretary-treasurer. To become a member of the Dance Club, a girl must be in- terested in dance as a form of art expression. Dance Club Bark Raw: yl. 'l'T2llI11CI', gl. Kern, A. Schroeder, Nl.

Our Fifth and last Saturday of school. Oh, happy day! A shortened school year sends this article on baseball to press before the season is well planned and lessens the usual number of baseball games. Coach Bizer, a reputed hitter himself, started the 1942 season with three regulars, and several promising new-comers. A similar situation met the Indians during 1941 and the season ended with Tomah ranking second in the South Central Conference, having only one loss and being surpassed by La Crosse Logan. Corlys Brookman, Harlan Felker, and Perry Goldbeck played the season as veterans from 1940, but several new students filled the gaps to make up an exceptional athletic organization for the Alma Mater. Starting the season against New Lisbon, the Indians pounded out a I4-7 victory on the home field, with Harlan Felker executing several magazine cover hurls. With the previous victory in mind, the team traveled to Viroqua where the gang won an 8-O verdict over the Vikings, as Felker hurled a no-hit, no-run masterpiece, fanning thirteen batters. This was one of Sleep's most reputable games on the varsity squad. The next week, the tables were turned on the Indians as La Crosse Logan, winner of the South Central Conference, drubbed our boys, 8-o, in a no-hit, no-run game on the LaCrosse diamond. The Redmen's team was composed of several veterans and outstanding players. Sparta was the next foe to fall before the Gold and VVhite, to the tune of 2-1, on the home field. The student body does not show the usual spirit of rivalry for the baseball conflict by the f'nine proves their loyalty, nevertheless, as they go into battle challenging and come out victorious over the neighboring foes. Several games were postponed or called off during the 1941 season because of bad weather but at the end of the season the team proved very successful and an asset to the schoolls athletic reputation. Letters were awarded to the following team members: Robert Friedel, Harlan Felker, Corlys Brookman, Alfred Stro- wezski, Perry Goldbeck, John Graf, George Jorgenson, and VVilliam Felker. 1.

The crowd roars as the fifty yard race begins. Arms Hash through churning water in the dash for the goal. During the YVater Carnival, contestants come from Sparta, Viroqua, and La Crosse also to show their skills in swimming and diving. Diving, always popular with the spectators is divided into men's, boys', women's and girls' divisions. A clown diving event is a traditional event with the usual umbrella act as a part of the stunt. A relay race with teams of four mem- bers compete. Free style swimming and breast stroke swimming races are opportunities for demonstrations of ability. First prize in each event is a gold medal, second prize is a silver medal, and third prize is a bronze medal. Tomah has many contestants and winners in this field, too, as well as in other sports. Although swimming is not a school activity, the swimming pool is one of the recreation centers for high school students. The health of the people who swim in the pool is safeguarded by the city Park Board. At regular intervals the pool is drained, cleaned, and refilled with water that has been treated with a dis- infectant. This operation takes about two days. The well-equipped bath-houses are cleaned and inspected regularly. Every effort is made to pro- tect swimmers from common infection diseases. XVhen it is very hot and the pool is drained, swimmers go to Lake Tomah which also has swimming facilities. With its fireplaces and tables, it is an ideal place for a picnic lunch. Many families come here to swim during the day and in the evening. Here, here, sonny, you had better stay behind these ropes if you don't know how to swimf' It is one of the duties of the lifeguards to keep the children out of water that is too deep for them. .-Xnother duty is teaching the art of life saving. After a person has passed the tests on life saving, he is awarded either ajunior or a senior life saving emblem. Swimming classes were held for be- ginning and advanced swimmers throughout the summer. Harrison Henry and Perry Goldbeck acted as lifeguards and instructors last summer. 1.

BRASS AND DRUMS IN BLENDED BEATS Five minutes to eight in the morningfthe snare drums roll, the big bass drum beats out the time, and the clarinets and cornets tune up. YVhen rehearsal finally gets under way many things may happen. Besides preparing for a game, a mass meeting, or a concert, students are reminded to deposit gum outside the stage door. President Garman may have a message or the cornet section might be asked to explain to an astonished director how If Hat can sound like so many other notes. Despite the strain of substituting cooperation for rugged individualism, the band played a successful season. Early in the year a joint conf cert was exchanged with New Lisbon and in january, concerts were exchanged with Black River lfalls. 'lihe band is a valued pepper-upperl' for mass meetings and games. lts stirring per- formance of patriotic tunes has been a part of community programs and parades this year as in other years. Band members will long remember the corn- husking contest at -Ioe Christmaifs farm last fall, the annual Memorial Day program, with the Last Rest Funeral hflarchn slowing down the pace considerably, and the return from the parade downtown with the drums beating out La Conga rhythm. John Garman served as president of the band, lirnest VVallace as vice-presidentq and Geraldine Pringle as secretary-treasurer. Patty Kenny, Niel Morse, and Robert Ninnenian acted with the officers on the Band Board. -....,.,.......-,.,, wmsnulxg Wlkihllilll Qilllllllll 4 ,, L ww' A M 'W' r'---- !!S!!2!!!!! . ,,,, , i lfllllll illllllll if L ....,......m,, W '?

The squeaks are taken out by the man who comes around once a year to repair all squeaks. Putting all else aside, the orchestra is a serious institution requiring hard-working and interested students with the musical ability. Throughout the year, the orchestra has its traditional performances. The Saturday before Christmas the String Quartette plays and sings Christmas hymns from the balcony of a down- town store. Assembly programs of dignilied and commemorative character require the orchestra's help. ,-Xt graduation, the orchestra is a regular part of the ceremony. To the students who are graduated, the orchestra's playing for the com- mencement services seems a fitting way to close a year of participation, learning, and future en- ioyment. Last year the school was without a uswingl' or- chestra. This year john Drew, Carrol Grapel, .lack Gilbert, Verne Nelson, -lane Rattunde, and vocalist Patty Kenny organized and called them- selves the Hepcats.l' They specialized in ultra- modern rhythms. Mr. Nye is Hnishing his tenth year as instru- mental music director in the Tomah Public Schools. l 1Rs'r VIoI,1Ns: Kathleen Dohlin, Carlton Schmidt, Scott Roeder, Cleo Dams, Patricia Betthauser, Beverly Griggs, Verdene Steeleg SECOND AND THIRD VIo1.INs: ,loyce Bur- roughs, Lois Schaller, Betty Goff, Glen Vandcrvort, Darlene Janssen, Dale Wlildes, Robert Korthbein, Lawrence Hubertg V1o1.A: Eugene Schaller, ,lane Rattunde, Jack Gilbert, CELLO: Genevieve Stevensg STRING Bfissg Verne Nelson, , .W FI.lVl'E2 Ann Drew, Wilda Betthauserg Orson: Mary Lou Rose, CI,AiuNE'rs: Lorraine Gibbs, Anna Rae Harris, SAXO- PHoNns: Patty Kenny, Robert Ninnemang BAssooNs: Car- rol Grapel, Jeanette Pethg FRENCH HORNS: John Garman, Ernest lYallaceg CORNETS: john lfick, Jeanette Meyerg TROMBONE: Vincent Blaschkeg DRUMS: Charles Betthauser, Francis Blaschke, Don Langstong PIANO: john Drew. MIXED VOICES RISE IN HARMONIES Organized three years ago by Nlrs. Haug, the Madrigal Club has fitted in as a regular part of Tomah High Schoolls musical activities. The club is composed of sixteen members who are chosen for their singing ability and qualities of good fellowship. The ofiicers are: president, La Vern Carrimon, vice-president, Patricia Ken- nyg secretary, Ann Drew, treasurer, Kathleen Dohling librarian, john Garman. The main activities of the year include sing- ing at programs, the spring tournament at La Crosse, an exchange concert with the Black River Falls Madrigal Club, and, to finish the year, the annual spring moonlight hike. This event is probably enjoyed most of all by the sponser and the members of the club. All the former members are invited to spend the evening with the members of the club. The sections of the A Cappella Choir are greatly in demand, singing at the Junior Prom, Christmas program, spring concert and various other school and community programs. Perhaps the two most important activities of the year are the choir's contribution to the Carnival Main Show and its participation in the annual spring tournament at l.a Crosse. lt ends up the year in the commence- ment program at which the graduates sing with it for the last time. The choir is not sure that its rendition of The Hallelujah Chorus , from ulllie lNIessiah,', would bring King George the Second to his feet, but itls fun to sing it anyway. Another familiar selection from the Messiah is The Glory of the Lord The officers are: l.orraine Gibbs, Cleo Dams, and Marion Tremain. .. K . Y D X K Q 7 X -wr - .:1 ', A, W' r ..

After a few exercises and scales, they marched back up to the study hall, very much relieved that they had, as they would say, got it over with. XVhen the lists of the members of the three vocal groups were posted, they showed that the greater propor- tion of the students who had tried out were placed in the Freshman-Sophm more Girls' Glee Club. Early in February, the group elected the fol- lowing as ofricersz president, jean- nette Tralmerg secretary-treasurer, Janis Kei-ng librarian, Verdene Steele. The bell brought the group to the stage of the auditorium everv Wed- l I nest 1 y at 3:30. The half hour was spent in singing various old favorites, new favorites, and the unforgettable Oranges, and Lemons, and in learning to function as 11 group. SINGERS JOIN IN MELODIES Lfpperclassmen interested in vocal music but with a lack of ex- perience in group singing are placed in the junior-Senior Glee Club, as a training period for the A Cappella Choir. This year, the group was composed of both boys and girls, while in other years these groups were separated. I-Iere future Kate Smiths and Lawrence Tibbets gain experience in tone quality, blending voices, and public appearances. Though this group does not sing in public as often as the Choir, it does gain experience in that line by singing at a few school programs and later at the Music Tournament at La Crosse. This group meets on Tuesday and Thursday mornings in the audi- torium, spending the half hour from 9:15 to 9:45 working on music to be sung at some program scheduled in the near future. Like all other vocal groups, this glee club is sponsored and directed by Mrs. I-Iaug. She received her training at the University of VVis- consin and has directed vocal music in Tomah Schools for the past tive years. She has been active in community musical activities as well as school music. This year she directed the community chorus' performance of The Messiah on Palm Sunday. This glee club has elected as president, Leone YVakeheldg as secre- tary-treasurer, Shirley Franz, and as librarian, Inez Keene. 73 ' i 4 I I I.

They arrived at VVestby after a terrific struggle with the elements, bad roads, and no windshield wipers. Although they felt like the living dead, they went into the battle undaunted. Hours later they emerged victorious with four Firsts and six seconds, leading the Held by eight points. This year the number of students going out for extemporaneous speaking reached a new high with freshmen especially predominant. Hilbert Teske, Eugene hlarten, Clayton Hemsey, John lfick, Philip Mork, and John Garman survived the semi-finals. Philip Mork and John Garman represented Tomah at W'estby. Philip received an A rating on the subject, From the Burma to the Assam Roadf' john discussed the problem of taxation and received a B rating. In extemporaneous reading, Tomah was represented at the League Contest at lvestby by Kathleen Dohlin and Geraldine Pringle. Both received a B rating. The following competed in extemporaneous reading: Marie Schroeder, Marcella Wappler, Eleanor McKean, Alice Schiefelbein, Kathleen Dohlin, Geraldine Pringle, Patricia Olson, Jean Steele, and Jeanette Peth. The type of material read this year was scientific prose. Material is drawn and prepared in a limited time by contestants. M. .-.MT Going to the state is the goal of all speech enthusiasts. This year Philip Mork represented Tomah in extemporaneous speaking at the State Forensic Contest on April II. ln 1941 Tomah had three contestants there: Ann Drew, Marjorie Chase, and lWarian Evans. Ann won an A rating for her declamation Taking the hlarines Out of Nicaragua. Contestants who win Av ratings in the second elimination contest at La Crosse go to the state contest. The three Tomah representatives, Ann Drew, Patricia Kenny, and Philip Mork, survived the hrst elimination. Philip earned an A rating in the second. A junior, Philip has formerly been a contestant in oratory. Ann and Patricia are both seniors. Both have previously represented the school in forensic contests. WORD AND HAND ENCHANT AND PLEAD Miss McGlachlin and her declaimers set out on the road to the State Forensic Contest with their usual good showing. The First stop was made at Westby Where Ann Drew and Patricia Kenny received A ratings in dramatic declamation. The titles were Abraham Lincolnn and VVuther- ing Heightsf' Patricia Ostermick and jeanette Tralmer represented T. H. S. in humorous declamation. Both received B ratings with the selections entitled Immune to lflatteryu and The Pest. Dther students who competed in declamation work were: Humorous: Harry Quackenbush, VVilliam Hubert, Virginia Seflow, and Rose Anna Silver. Dramatic: Patricia Miller, Therese Donovan, Charlotte Fberdt, Kathryl Guhl, and Helen johnson. A number of Miss McGlachlin's students have represented Tomah at the State Forensic Con- test in previous years. Among them are Ann Drew, Marjorie Chase, Marion Evans, lfugene Comiskey, lflorence lfranz, and lrene Comiskey. All students interested in oratorv si n u in as ' g p Room 301. This was the call that was issued February 15. Mr. Gunning, fresh from four months of debate work, began to mold his material for the First forensic tournament held at NVestby.

MINDS AND HANDS TRAIN FOR JOBS Tomah High School was proud to have out- standing typists to compete in the typing con- test in Milwaukee on April 19, 1941. The first year typists were Robert Ninneman, Lucie Nicol, and Arlys YVoodliff. Rosella Shie was a contestant in the second year typing group. Robert typed at the rate of 65.7 for fifteen minutes, and won first prize, which was an Un- derwood portable typewriter. Arlys also gained high honors by typing at the rate of 60.2 words a minute and placing second, with a wrist watch as the reward. The School Bank handles the money for all school organizations, draws checks and keeps books on all school financial activities. The management of the Bank requires students who are honest and responsible. This year Alice Schiefelbein held the position of senior banker and Arlys Woodlitf was the junior banker. VVorkers for the main office were Alice Schiefel- bein, Harriet Holm, and Richard Heilman, who took Beverly Knickls place. Joyce Griswold was attendance secretary for the school, assisting Miss McAdams with make-up records. Take a letter, please. This is one of the many things the future oHice worker will be hearing soon. The Commercial Club is doing its best to prepare its students for just such work, under the supervision of bliss Xvendt. Alice Schiefelbein was unanimously chosen as president, Lucie Nicol, vice-president, Isabelle Haight secretary-treasuren and Orville Raabe A, 3 . 3 D sergeant-at-arms. Outside speakers were invited to address the club. Mr. Weishapple brought it up-to-date on its Pls and Q's in basketball. Mrs. Gunning also gave a talk on how to prepare for a successful business career. Apples and sandwiches were served for refreshments. After the business meetings, the club sometimes went into Miss YYendt,s room to type, for the purpose of improv- ing the typing ability of the members. At the Christmas party, the club played Honk-Honk, Truth or Consequences, and Fruit Basket Up-Set. Candy bars and ice cream were served. The Commercial Club sponsored the mass meeting for the New Lisbon basketball game. Alice Schiefelbein was the announcer. Bark Row: bl. Downs, A. Yvoodliff, E. Rosenow, R. Betthauser, C. Rosa, A.

Joined in the Recreation Club, they gather for whatever social activities are appropriate to the current season. This new club had applications for membership from 66 students. Only 30 met the requirements ofthe club, so they made up the mem- bership for the rest of the year. Of the 30 members, the following students were chosen to lead the group: president, Bernard Barry, vice-president, Ernest VVallaceg secretary-treasurer, Jeanette Meyer, and sergeant-at-arms, YYayne Gabower. A club Christmas party was held December I6 for the members. Games were played and gifts were distributed among the people present with the usual high spirits. The club had charge of the mass meeting for the Viroqua game on January 23. A truth and conse- quence stunt was a part of this program. A costume party at which each member represented a book was an early meeting. Some clever costumes were worn by Don Langston, who came as Berlin Diary , Bernard Barry as Sherlock Holmes , and Jeanette Meyer as Heidi , Bernard won a prize for his char- acterization. Later a dancing party was held with folk dancing as a part of the entertainment. Believing that the ability to enjoy group activity is important and can be learned, the club members worked at having a good time. Does star-gazing interest you? Scientitically, we mean. Then you should be a member ofthe Astronomy Club for that organization studies the heavenly bodies. Miss Schuelke has sponsored this group for the third successive year. She formed the club after she be- came particularly interested in the study of the stars and their move- ments. This hobby has interested many others. Venus, Mars and Saturn put on an especially fine display this year. Of course, if you aren't a club member you wouldn't know that. The school's oflicial star-gazers discovered other interesting facts about the heavens and had a good time doing it. Club ofiicers are: Patricia Henry, president, Maxine Graham, secre- tary-treasurer, and Raymond Bet- cher, sergeant-at-arms. All members served their turns on the programs. PENCILS AND CAMERA MAKE A BOOK Because this is your book, the l-lamot Staff thinks you should know what went into the making of this Hamot . First the Hamot Staff is selected and approved. Then Mr. Olson of the engraving company makes a visit and the layout, which includes the theme, number of pages, plan for the pages and the design and color of the cover, is made. After this there is a general grand rustle with Nlr. Luckenbill taking pictures while Scootie', maintains a dignified pose with the flash bulb. When the pictures have been scaled and identified, they are sent to the engravers where Mr. Olson is in charge of 'il-lamot work. Next, copy is written for each of the 112 pages by the staff members who inveigle choice bits of information from the amiable faculty. When the copy is written, it is proof read for errors and reconstruc- tion after which it is typed on the Final copy sheets which are sent to the printers where Mr. Staedtler pays personal attention to ul-lamot material. During all this time the ad salesmen sold ads and collected copy from those who bought them and then the pages are planned and this material pu-t into an ad dummy. Xilhen the printed copy is received from the printers, it is placed in the dummy which is a plan of the book with all its designated pages for pictures, copy, and what have you. I.

The Hamot got under way this year with several new members be- hind the paste jar. Besides teaching the staff how to assemble, an annual it also taught our sponsor another profession. No one would doubt that Miss Crain is eligible for track if he saw her one Saturday night tearing to reach the post office with the copy. Scootie Schaller was technical one day and decided to find out how the paper cutter worked. He ex- perimented but the results were vague. He discovered that by putting one's finger beneath the blade and pushing the handle one gets something that requires a bandage. I I Cleo Dams, proficient Editor-im Chief, was an information bureau. If in doubt about anything from math to mounting pictures or marking order blanks trim right flush, a staff member went to Cleo. YOUNG WORKERS FILL PATRIOTIC DUTY Following general public in Red Cross activities, the junior Red Cross was organized in November under the leadership of Miss Reiser. Its First project was to enroll all the students of Tomah schools in the organization. This it did by taking a collection for the purpose and giving a public card party. The card party netted the group about fifty dollars. Managed by students under Miss Reiser's supervision, table for bridge, pinochle, live hundred, and zioncheck were filled with townspeople. It was the first card party to be held in the auditorium. Part of the money earned by the card party and two matinee dances was used by the junior Red Cross to buy materials for making articles requested by Red Cross Headquarters. Though many ofthe girls had never held a knitting needle before they struggled valiantly with Miss Sell's help on the hard parts. Scarves and finally sweaters were their goals. Crocheting was also a project. Colored squares were quickly made for afghans. l Scrapbooks of stories, jokes, and puzzles were made for army hospitals and childrenls homes. Handkerchiefs, checker boards, and table favors were part of the handiwork of these workers. liiarly in the fall a box was packed to send to the soldiers in Iceland. :X letter received from the Red Cross director there extended the staf's gratitude and pointed out the value of such organizations in building morale. Ann Drew acted as junior Red Cross president, Patty Kenny as assistantg Kathleen Dohlin as secretary, and Mary I.ou Rose as treasurer. l I. VVho's winning this game in the cloakroom? Pillen? , . F 2.
