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.
