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.

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. Thorson, M. Shie. The highest scholastic honor a student can obtain is to receive All A's . 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.
