Q- ll all SENIOR OFFICERS Preszdent, Thomas Curry Secretary Treasurer, Gertrude Thom Vrce Prendent, Rzcbard Dams Sergeant al Arms, Donald Hess .S we To make the 47 class the best one that would ever graduate from Tomah High School was the ambition of some young deter mined self reliant and persevering freshmen as they stood together m the assembly one day in 1943 and organized themselves into a class Although we confess that we were a but green we claim that in this we were not exceptional We did not have the wonderful school building or equipment that we now have We got plenty of exercise by running from one building to another to get to classes on time It was nice in the warm weather but in the wmter-b-rrr. At a now his- toric meeting we elected our freshmen class officers: Lee Goff, president, Robert Aller, vice president, Shirley Benjamin, secretary and treasurer, james johnson, sergeant-at-arms. That freshmen year was memorable to every one of us. When- ever we think back over that year, we remember the failures and dis- appointments, the hope and victories which made up those busy days. The freshman party was one of the successful affairs of the year. We had a number of students with musical talent. Our class was well represented in sports and debate. ln September, 1944, the 121 members of the sophomore class trotted to their second year of laborious studying. The first week was spent in trying to find rooms, remembering schedules, and getting to classes on time. lt wasn't long until everything was running smoothly. The turmoil began all over again, though, when we moved to our new school building, In 1944 our officers were: President, Lee Goff, 1 if to VU .lv K ii ,rv- 4 it is 7 'N i ' ni Vice President, Thomas Curry, and Secretary and Treasurer, Shirley Benjamin. We at once made our debut in school activities. R. Davis, D. Hess, W. Rose, F. Erpenbach, T. Curry, R. Spangenburg, R. Pingle, D. Eckelberg, R. Gilbert, R. Aller, M. White, were out for tootball. D. Davis, T. Curry, R. Gilbert, W. Lind, R. Aller, were out for basket- ball. j. Meyers, D. Eckelberg, E. Gerke, R. Soderstrom, and j. Ris- chette in debate. The musical organizations were also well repre- sented by the sophomores. We enjoyed studying ancient history under Miss Schuelke and English II from Miss Reiser. These classes were really interesting! Meanwhile, we were looking forward to our junior year and planned on making a good showing. As juniors the class continued to hold up its good record. In football R. Spangenburg and T. Curry were on the first team. R. Davis and T. Curry were on the first five in basketball. R. Aller and T. Curry won Golden Gloves in boxing. The musicians of the junior class spent an enjoyable day in La Crosse at the Music Tournament. Many juniors went out for declamatory, reading, and speech contests. Awards were given to a number of these students. Under the leadership of the officers: Robert Gilbert, Thomas Curry, joan Barnharst, and Robert Aller, our class held the annual junior Prom on April 26, 1945, with the theme I'm Always Chasing Rainbows. The Prom King, Robert Gilbert, chose Mary Ellen Reisen- auer to reign as Queen. We have tried to be good citizens and show our loyalty to our dear school by supporting things for wlfich she stands. Striving to do its best for the school, the class of '47 is looking forward to its last year in Tomah High School as a culmination of all its hope and ideals. We are the class of '47, We have chosen our officers: Thomas Curry, President, Richard Davis, Vice President, Gertrude Thom, Secretary and Treasurer, Donald Hess, Sergeant-at-Arms and con- ducted all our enterprises in a manner worthy of note. Through a committee of five, with the help of the faculty, we chose our Hamot Staff. The time we have passed in Tomah High School has been short, but we have learned many of its traditions and teachings. We have learned the need of sportsmanship in our everyday work, and we have learned to cultivate and apply these qualities in all our school activities. Again, as in other years, we have an excellent representation in school activities. Richard Davis and Thomas Curry are on the first five in basketball. In football, R. Davis, R. Pingle, W. Hoag, R. Aller, T. Curry, D. Hess, R. Spangenburg, played on the first team. In music organizations the Seniors again are outstanding. In the different speak- ing organizations we also did well. joan Barnharst was chosen to represent Tomah High School in the Daughters of the American Revolution, Good Citizenship Contest this year. What A Life, the senior class play, was presented on May 15, 1947. We didn't know our class had so many actresses and actors until we saw them in action. High scholastic honors were earned this year by Donald Eckel- berg and Olive Willgrubs, with averages of 97, and Ruth Uischner, with an average of 95.7855 Berniece Miller ranked third with an average of 93.785. We came to school the last day as Seniors on May 29, 1947, Commencement Day, and then it was all overg but even though we did weep a little, we smiled a great deal more at the thought of the wonderful years which had passed while we were in school, the silly things we had done, the big things we had accomplished. 5 S l t I i - Q Q fa kg L :LZ I e 9 ..

We elected our class officers one of the first weeks of school. Norman Butterfuss was elected presidentg Eugene Burn- stad, vice presidentg Marion Dohlin, secretary- treasurerg and Bill Sowle, Sergeant-at-Arms. We find ourselves well-represented in school activi- ties. We can boast of seven football lettermen in our class. Also we find juniors in music organiza- tions, debate, and dramatics. Mr. Nelson says he has some very smart juniors in Chemistry class this year. just an example - Mt. Nelson was in- structing, There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram, 1,000 meters in a kilometer, 1,000 watts in a kilo- watt and . . . Red Frings promptly added, And one thousand roys in a Kilroy. What ever would happen to our class if we didn't have such stu- dents as this, or if we lost John Schedlet, our hen- cackler, or our comedian, Bill Sowle? We spon- sored a very successful prom this year. Our theme was The Old Lamp Lighter and we decorated accordingly. All in all, this has been a successful year and we're looking forward to a better one when we'll be the Sophisticated Seniors. SOPHOMORE OFFICERS President, joseph Thom - Vire-President, Gerald Clay Secretary-Treasurer, Barbara Heyer - Sergeant-at-Arms, Billy Witz 5 GQ6 glam At the beginning of September the newly en- rolled sophomore class of Tomah High School strolled up the hill to resume their school activi- ties. To make a good start we elected joseph Thom, president, Gerald Clay, vice-president, Barbara Heyer, secretary-treasurer, and Billy Witz, sergeant at-arms. Our Sophomore Day which was held on December 5, was a huge success. As a token of our appreciation to Miss Reiser, for her wonderful help, we presented her with a poinsetta. We had a very good program. Joanne Fiedler and Marise Grovesteen, our prima donnas, sang Away in the Manger. The boys and girls each had a group that sang Christmas carols. There was a panel discussion on sophomore activities. Besides these there were other interesting numbers. After the program a delicious lunch was served which ended a very enjoyable afternoon. Our Christmas party, on December 19, had a good turnout. We decorated with Christmas trees and Santa Clauses to fit the season. The program was made up of a Christmas play, the singing of Christmas songs, and a number of pieces taken from Sophomore Day. We also had a party after the Tomah-Sparta basketball game to which we had a large attendance. Thelsophomores are well represented in music, sports, and forensics. We still haven't decided which title we like bestg Green Freshman or Silly Sophomores. Any- way, we are looking forward to next Year when we will be Jolly Juniors and upper classmen as well.

At the beginning of the year we had a class meeting at which we chose Robert Shutter as President, james Cunningham as Vice President, Eva Shutter as Secretary and Treasurer, and Donald Tralmer as Sergeant-ab Arms. Our officers have served us loyally and we can well be proud of them. On Freshman Day we had a marvelous crowd of parents and guests. We Put on a program consisting of music and talks. The band, under the direction of Mr. Mewaldt, took part in the program and afterwards they, in addition to parents and students, were our guests at the lunch served by freshman girls who study Home Economics. Many of our boys have gone out for sports such as basketball, football, boxing, track, baseball, etc. Not to be outdone are the girls who have joined them in the music fields and the Girls Athletic Association. We are all grateful to Miss Moe, our class adviser, for being very help- ful and efficient, as well as all our other teachers. K ki 'G if-A , 1' :viii-5' f3'f?3 : Ci fa'?'4 ' I ,i 'fs fp!

THOMPSON Um With the opening of this school term last September, the Tomah Junior High School began its operation as a newly organized unit in the Tomah Public School system. It is the aim of the junior high school to adequately prepare and train its students to take their places in Tomah's High School. The junior high school is organized to operate on the same schedule as the senior high school, and its instruction is departmentalized. It has been our privilege to attend high school mass meetings and special programs. During this year teaching assignments and re- sponsibilities have been shared in the academic fields by Mr. Thompson, principal of the junior high school unit and teacher of mathematics, Mrs. Hansen, instructor in English and seventh grade home-room advisor, Mrs. Schroder, instructor in science, social science, and eighth grade home- room advisor. Work in the special fields has been directed by the following instructors: physical education, Mr. Quandt, Miss Wabers, and Miss Gill, vocal music, Miss Rockweiler, instrumental music, Mr. Mewaldtg basketball, Mr. Gatzkeg foot- ball fundamentals, Mr. Thompson, boxing, Mr. Dickinson, and health, Mrs. Henry, school nurse. Each of the grade groups has its own home- room plan of organization. The seventh grade has been divided into groups of six, each group being responsible for bulletin boards, reading tables. The program and informal party for each month. The eighth grade class has elected the following offi- cers to conduct its affairs: Morton Erickson, presi- dentg Bruce Potter, vice president, Arlene Chap- man, secretaryg Cleone jessen, treasurer, and Arthur Sowle, sergeant at arms. There has been great interest in the library books. Reading circle work is one of the required activities of English sections. There has been par- ticularly keen interest in the reading of books con- taining stories of other countries. There is a need at the present time for more books, as well as for adequate space for a more usable library for junior high school students. , We have shared in many activities during the year. One of the very popular and valuable activi- ties has been the speech class conducted by Mrs. Schroeder. Thirty-four people have enrolled in the regular speech activity work. Humorous and seri- ous declamation, original and non-original ora- tions are the main branches in which we are in- terested this year. Mrs. Hansen organized a knitting class in which thirty eight students have learned the fundamen- tals of knitting. Some have progressed so far as to be knitting scarfs, head bands, and anklets. Mrs. Hansen has also conducted the work in extem- poraneous reading. All students in English classes read in the first contest and about half of the people remained in the competition for the second round of contest reading. Persons especially interested in art have done much to assist with Junior Red Cross work at vari- ous times during the year. We have also entered the Edna Fransworth Mears Art Contest for eighth grade pupils. Several outstanding pictures have been sent in. The art project was sponsored by Mrs. Schroeder. Under the guidance and coaching of Mr. Gatz- ke, the junior high school basketball team, which is composed of boys from all of the schools of the city, won the trophy awarded by Ranney's Dairy to the winners of the grade basketball tournament held at Tomah on February 15. The Junior High School program has been care- fully planned and school administrators feel that the organization of the unit has been a valuable revision in the school program of Tomah. ..,f illit- if OH, V jf, ' 'SMF if M ar I, It T ef 9 '? QJ-, 9 F few? We -Qcm SEPTEMBER Is every-body happy? - Heck yes??? Is everybody here? - Well, anyhow 618 students have come back to readin', writin' and 'rithmetic, but something's miss- ing - oh, yes, last year's seniors. Something new has been added, lots of little freshmen and about a foot more of Eugene Gerke. We can't forget all those new teachers - especially that blond English teacher. Our big handsome stupor men are really on the beam this year - in football. Anyhow, we're pretty proud of them. Room 204 isn't a torture chamber - those moans and groans coming forth are just the makings of this year's choir and glee club. Wonder who Une will take to prom this year. Didn't we tell you? - He's junior class president. Homework is starting to pile up already. Don't those teachers realize we're just human beans. OCTOBER Is Jean Meyers practicing for the 50 yard dash or something? Certainly not - didn't you see Mike Eckelberg just go around the corner? He isn't running very fast, though. Twirp season is descending upon T. H. S. much to the advantage of all the lucky??? boys. Mr. Nelson has reached the point where he has de- cided to end it all. Tough life, huh, Mr. Nelson? Any- how, he did his best to blow up the junior chemistry class the other day. I'll bet that Block A physics class helped to bring it on. The first all school party is sponsored by the seniors. Say, that new lighting system is really slick. Looks like a dim-out to the elders but we sure think it's nice. Gee, are those class rings ever purty. That's another ad- vantage of being a senior. Tomah Indians are having a big council of war the night before the Sparta game and then - guess what?? they turned back into devils, cause it is also Halloween.

H X .W JANUARY Ah, yes! A new year and back to school we go. Sleepy Martin resolves not to be late for physics class. Donna jo Stoll resolves not to skip school quite so much. Certain girls decided to keep earlier hours, but have you noticed the rings under Millie Spinti's eyes??? Congrats to Mr. Rayment's debaters. They won second place in the West Central Conference at South St. Paul. The long weeks of work are well repaid. At last!!!! A solution to Miss Gronning's major problem,!!! John Rose now sits in the corner by the door and Don Trowbridge sits up in front by the win- dows. Wonderful strategy, Miss Gronning!! Miss Gill replaces Mrs. Carey in the physical educa- tion department this month. She's really swell but we think we ought to warn her. Remember what happened to the last two gym teachers??? No school the last two days in January. That won- derful, wonderful blizzard shore helped us school chillun out. FEBRUARY February opened with a bang with Frankie Me- waldt giving out with the vocals on that old favorite- My Sugar is so Refined. The same day Red Quick played the heroine and Dick Davis took the part of the villain in that stark drama Little Red Riding Hood. If you're hungry just ask Mr. Butterfield to dream up something extra special for you. One night in Club 44 he amazed us all by actually drinking a soda he con- cocted by shaving up two ice cream bars and pouring a coke over them. Is it possible that he was ever a soda -jerk??? The Battling Bombshells emerge victorious in the girls' championship basketball game at the G. A. A. mass meeting. The pyramid builders do their stuff at the half, and it is rumored that everyone enjoyed it. Once again Tomah took the top honors at the regional basketball tournament. We're hopin' and prayin' that we can do as well in the sectional meet. The debaters copped second place honors at the state debate tourna- ment, crowning a year of hard work. 15 .z '55 p Z c !

It is only right that I should express my obligation to those persons who have aided in the annual's publication. May I therefore thank the following: M. R. Fey, Fey Publishing Co. fPublisherj Mr. Luckenbill and Mr. Mueller fPicturesj Mr. McKean and Mr. Crane fAdvicej The Advertisers All Teachers who have helped so willingly. I wish to extend my very special thanks to the staff as a whole, to Associate Editors Madeline Fick and Marion Dohlin, to Business Manager james Rischette, and to any others who have of- fered their services, without whose sincere efforts, hard work, and cooperation there could have been no 1947 Hamot. As the years pass, new friends and acquaintances are made, and the bosom friends and good times of high school days fade from memory. It is my hope that in the future this Hamot will serve to refresh its owner's mem- ory, and to recall with pleasure the days when he and his friends composed the student body of Tomah High.

O R N D T an Qlee can The Girls Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Rockweiler, has been popular in the school for the past two years. As a result of the splendid work of last year's glee club, approximately 175 high school girls tried out for'this year's organiza- tion. Early in the year, the following officers were chosen by the club members: President, Madeline Fickg Secretary, Marion Dohling Inez Luckenbill was chosen joint treasurer for the entire vocal groups. A good accompanist is essential for any chorol group to be a success. Inez Luckenbill has put forth much effort and time to meet that re- quirement. Rehearsal periods number three each week. Considerable improvement in this club of 65 members is shown by the difficult selections in their repertoire of this year. Some of the songs used this school year were: Reverence and Praise - Beethoven, Reverie - Debussy, A Snow Legend - Clokey, Sing, Robin, Sing - Strick- land, When Day Is Done - Katcher. Their first appearance this year was made at the afternoon Musicale in December. This year again they will go to La Crosse to participate in the Music Contest in Class B , and it is a belief they will do as well as last year's group. The girls will also sing suit- able selections for Commencement in the Spring. Next year arrangement will be made to obtain white surplices for the organization. This group has given to the student body, the faculty and the public some very fine entertainment and you can be sure they will continue to do so.

Aff' JI yt' Jf 'V Out of a group of approximately one hundred aspiring students, forty-nine boys and girls were chosen by Miss Rockweiler, to comprise this year's school choir. As a result of the outstanding work shown at the Music tournament of last year, our school board graciously provided funds for the purchase of new choir robes. These robes, light blue in color, have added greatly to the dignity and uniformity of the group. The first occasion for which they were worn was the Music Festival held on December 8 in the high school auditorium. Numbers for the program were: Roll on River by Lily Sdrickdand. Who's That A-Calling by Mable Cain. Ave Maria by Arcadelt, Embraceable You by Gershwin. And featured solists, Wilbur Brown, tenor and Eunice Udulutch, soprano. Also a sprinz concert was held in Tomah by the vocal department. The choir sang the following numbers: Lord God We Worship Thee by Frank and Mueller. Into The Way of Peace and Love by Milton Dieterich. For variation a Rus- sian church response known as Hospodi Pomiliu and also Gopak a Russian dance by Maussorg- sky and the ever popular Begin the Begine by Cole Porter were sung. The group entered the music tournament as an A-Capella group in B class at La Crosse and sang Lord God We Wor- ship Thee and Into Thy Way of Peace and Love. Appropriate numbers were selected for use at the Baccalaureate exercises held May 25th in the high school. Marion Dohlin and Jacqueline Thouvenell were chosen as the accompanists. Dur- ing the second semester Jacqueline accompanied all of the choir members. They must be commended upon their excellent ability as accompanists. f , Q27'.

The theme I'm Always Chasing Rainbows gave the dance a springlike atmosphere. A background of soft rainbow hues formed a perfect setting for a dreamy evening of dancing and music. The music of Larry Ziemann and his orchestra from La Crosse helped to make the prom a big success. Throughout the evening, refreshments were served in Club '44, A great deal of credit is due Mr. Rayment, our class advisor, and his prom committee.

We the Future Homemakers of America are composed of a body of eighty-two members. We are interested in the building of more successful homes and the learning of the arts of making a home the foundation of better living. 1st YEAR-We have learned in our first year of home economics class how to can, the value and art of good grooming, the preparation of nutritious breakfasts and sewing. In sewing we have worked on cotton material and also made pajamas. ZND YEAR-In our second year we received courses in preserving, knitting, sewing and the making of dinners. Being a little more advanced in sewing, we worked with wool or part wool material, some making dresses, skirts, and suits. In knitting, some made scarfs, mittens and socks. On March 11, we served a Father and Son banquet for the Future Farmers of America. We have enjoyegd this year of home economics under the direction of Miss Gochnauer and believe homemaking to be the art of making the home the background of good citizens. 6-7. Q 74. Officers instrumental in making the FFA a success during the year 194647 have been Roy johnson, President, Wesley Lind, Vice-President, Howard Pingel, Secretary, Bernard Dechant, Treasurer, Doyle Mosely, Reporterg and Verne Quick, Sentinel. Highlights of the chapters program of work have been the Father and Son banquet, the initiation of Greenhands, and the raising of Greenhands to the degree of Future Farmers. Roy johnson deserves honorable mention since he has been raised to the degree of State Farmer. Other highlights include basketball, and softball teams which played school intramural teams and other schools. Plans have been formulated for an FFA Picnic and an educational tour at the close of school.

Mmm 64044 Tomah High School has a right to be proud of its junior Red Cross Chapter and of its sponsor, Miss Elizabeth Reiser. During this past school year, 1946-47, a total of 20,000 articles consisting of decorated napkins, ice cream stick-ups, tray and table favors, Christmas carol books, holiday pos- ters, window decorations, cross-word puzzles, nut cups, tray favors, decorated tray covers, tray mark- ers, greeting cards, score pads and tallies, station- ery, portfolios, wrapped candy bars, gum, cigarette and match tray favors, puzzles were sent out from the Tomah chapter. Much of this and the financing of the project was because of the fine work of the High School Chapter. These were sent to Veterans Hospitals at Wood, Tomah, Waukesha, Camp Mc- Coy, Wisconsing Douncey, Illinois, El Paso, Tex., Fort Riley, Kansas, Fort Meade, South Dakota, The Trophy case turns into a Red Cross Exhibit. Selfridge Field, Michigan, Denver, Coloradog Randolph Field, Texas. They were also sent to polio wards in Wisconsin and the Sparta State school for dependent children. just as every other successful organization must have its officers so must the junior Red Cross Chapter here in Tomah high school. This year's management was headed by Royal Sutton, Chairman and Beverly Schweppe, treasurer. Each class had a chairman on the Junior Red Cross Council. Red Cross finances its own projects and for this purpose a party was sched- uled and a noon sale of ice cream bars and candy was conducted during the spring months. A cloth- ing drive, a Bundle Day, correspondence pro- jects, and two educational gift box projects were a part of the planned program, as well as exhibits of international friendships. You want to be careful when you enter room 314 for there is also Red Cross work to be done. These girls offer a good example. . S Q- nf so-' 'L Burk lell lf' Hgh!

Their most important task, however, is answering questions and directing stu- dents where to find the material they need. The librarians think that the library is one of the most attractive and interesting places in which to work. They get to know a great many students and they become acquainted with a wide variety of books. Their pet peeve is the student who continually puts books on the shelves in the wrong place. They agree that it would be a big help if everyone would learn how books are arranged on the shelves. af 3 7Wmq al 7cwmk Bark-john Schedler, Dick Davis.

That is the formation of the cheer leader group at Tomah high school and those five girls and a boy have been pepping up games all season with their efficient performance. They have plenty of what it takes to get the cheers starred and kept going and their enthusiasm and high spirits have helped make games enjoyable. Our twirlers also help make things peppy at the games at which they perform.

Lines form in the hall, pass into the cafeteria where tickets are punched, each stu- dent picks up his own tray, silverware and bottle of milk, then passes by the serving window where his food, piping hot is given him. Arm chairs are provided in the room at which he may leisurely enjoy his meal. The daily serving totals more than 350, yet no youngster makes an effort to create noise or other disturbance. It is evident that the students have the highest appreciation for what is being provided them. We think more Tomah citi- zens should drop in at the .school any day from 11:40 a. m. to 12:30 p. m. ifand watch the cafe- teria in operation. xi ' N Q' . .X V Xt ut X . w . 5 A. , g wk' PKK .

He can also gain valuable experience by helping with the production of the play as prompter, mem- ber of the stage crew, sound effects man or in make up, etc. A second purpose is to provide en- tertainment during the noon hour. Numerous one act plays were presented at that time during the course of the school year.

Coach Quandt has returned the fourth year to head the team. The first team lineup was: Don Hess, FBg Tom Curry, LHg Dick Spangenberg, RHQ and Dwight Dickinson, QB. The left end was Dick Davis, LT Warren Rose, LG Al Barra, C john Rose, RG Bob Pingle, RT Bill Hoag, and Bob Aller, backed up by a strong line of reserves. SEPTEMBER 13 - NEW LISBON We played New Lisbon for our first game of the season on our home gridiron and smashed them under a powerful attack. In the opening period Dwight shot a short pass to Bob Aller who lateralled to Tom, who made the first score and also the extra point. Tom made two more touch- downs and extra points soon after. Spang scooted around end for twelve yards and scored. In the last half Davis scored on a pass and Hess on a line plunge. The score was Tomah 38 and New Lisbon 0. SEPTEMBER 20 -- REEDSBURG Our second game of the season was also played here. The game got off to an exciting start when Tomah fumbled. Reedsburg threatened as they gained control of the ball on the twenty three yard line but were held there. Almost immediately af- ter regaining the ball, Don made a touchdown. After the first, the others came more easily. Too late to count Reedsburg scored twice. The score was Tomah 39 and Reedsburg 12.

Spang had a field day and hung up four touchdowns. Tom also starred by running sixty-one yards to score on the third play of the game. This game marked Number 25 on Tomah's list of undefeated games. The game ended with the score Viroqua 6 and Tomah 38. OCTOBER 4 - MAUSTON Mauston promised to be a tough teamg they are always scrappers and were sure to be more so this year. They got the first break when Tom's kick went out of bounds and gave them the ball on the forty yard line. They had a sleeper play and gained thirty yards on it, but they failed to finish what they had so strongly started. Then we buckled down, scored a touchdown and an extra point. We tried again for a score, but we lost feiiefmaea possession on Mauston's 8 yard line. Again they failed to click, and early in the second quarter Spang scored. Two more tries, which came close to their goals, failed. The half ended with the ball on their two yard line. Mauston went over in the third quarter on a spread play, but there was no score because of holding by their team. Two quick scores, one by Spang and one by Davis, were made in the last quarter. The final score was 27-0. OCTOBER 11 - NEKOOSA This was the final home game of the 1946 season at home and it was played with Nekoosa. The scoring started in the 2nd quarter. On the first play of this quarter Spang tore to a touch- down from the 20. Tom returned a punt 55 yards to Nekoosa's 30 and soon Spang scored again from the 5 yard line. Two passes from Dwight, one to Davis and one to Tom, made the final points of the first half. In the third quarter Bob Aller scored on a pass which was thrown by Dwight. During the last quarter Tom returned a punt to Nekoosa's 36, swung around end to the 6, and then scored. Klein of Nekoosa scored in the last two minutes of the game. The game ended Tomah 30, Nekoosa 6. OCTOBER 18 - WESTBY This was our first game away from home. Al- though our first team was in for a very short time, they scored 40 points. This was our easiest game of the year and we were seldom threatened by Westby. The score ended with Tomah having 46 points and Westby 7. OCTOBER 15 - CHIPPEWA FALLS Chippewa had pointed toward 'this game all year and they were set to defeat us. On the third play after receiving the ball, Spang went for a 6 pointer and Tom converted. The high point of the game was when Tom returned a punt 75 yards to a touchdown, accomplished by the accurate blocking of the whole team. The try for an extra point failed and the game ended 33-7 in our favor. NOVEMBER 2 - SPARTA The last game of the season, at Sparta, nearly ended the long line of undefeated games of the last four years. The field was very muddy because of a heavy rain. Dwight scored the only touch- down of the game in the second period by inter- cepting a pass and running 55 yards to a touch- down. Tom made the place kick and the score throughout the game was 7-0. This game repre- sented 31 undefeated games for Tomah in four years. The greater share of Tomah's honors go to the coach, H. E. Quandt, for guiding us through these four years. We also have credit for having the greatest number of undefeated games in the state. Points Scored by WE ALSO PRACTICE Individual.

As the season progressed, Gene Burn- stad, john Rose and Verne Quick proved to be capable replacements for the open first string posi- tions. john Schedler picked up from where he had left off last season when he lost his first string berth because of illness. With Tom Curry and John Schedler leading the way, the forward wall had plenty of scoring punch. The season had many exciting moments and plenty of good games won. Heading some of the highlights were wins over Eau Claire, Reedsburg, Portage, La Crosse Logan, La Crosse Central, and Prairie du Chien. The only losses to mar a good record were against La Crosse Aquinas, Janesville, and a heartbreaker against Madison Edgewood. One of the goals of this year's team was to again compete for the state tourna- ment at Madison. This goal was completed by winning the regional tournament at Tomah and the sectional tournament at Sparta. The only dis- appointment was attained at Madison, when To- mah was again defeated in its attempt to capture a state basketball crown. When Tomah competed for the state championship, it marked the fourth time in a row that they have been there. The two seniors, Tom Curry and Dick Davis happen to have the distinction of going all four times and being the only two boys in basketball history to have competed all four years. With the close of the season we can look tentatively ahead for the season of 1947-48. With only two boys graduating, there is a definite bright outlook. Burnstad, Mey- ers, Rose, Quick, Schedler, and Dickenson have had plenty of experience and have already proven themselves under competition. Wilson, Thom, Boehm, Friberg, Clay, Witz, and Shutter are good prospects who have received valuable experience by playing on the B-squad.

M auston-4 Tomah-4 ,,,.,,.,........,.,......................... Mauston-3 Each season more interest is being shown at Tomah High School in our national sport, base- ball. As soon as the state basketball tournament was over, baseball was in the air and our able coach, Mr. Crane, began to organize and train a team to compete with neighboring schools. To save transportation it was planned to have the team play all double headers, the first game to con- sist of seven innings and the second of five in- nings. The season opened auspiciously with a win over Sparta. But in the second game Tomah lost to Sparta. With Viroqua and La Crosse Logan, Tomah won one game and lost one. But from there on Tomah began to show better team work and won both games with Westby and also with Maus- ton. With a number of veterans left on the team from last year we are looking forward to the 1947 season when we hope to win more victories for the White and Gold.

Previously develop- ing the necessary skill in each participant had been uphill work. By the beginning of 1946 Tomah had come a long way in building fighting spirit in the heart of every member of the team. After many weeks of hard practice, the Silver and Gold- en Glove tournaments were held. These tourna- ments gave every boy involved a fair chance to win his glove and to become a member of the regular team representing the school. Tomah's first interscholastic bout was with Mauston, and although we lost itg the squad showed definite signs of improvement. As the season progressed, signs of Tomah high producing winning boxing teams in the future were evident. To our coach, Mr. Dickinson we take off our hats for his hard work in producing a group of willing boys. To his son, Duane, we give hearty thanks for his helpful pointers. May the years ahead bring victory. LETTER WINNERS rasxman, Robert lmrmn, Dwight Dirkinron L. Goetzke .................................................... 100 W. Sowle .... ........ 1 08 T.

A promising group of boys answered Coach H. F. Quandt's call for trackmen at the completion of the basketball season and resumption of spring sports. The schedule for the season was as fol- lows: April 12, Invitational Meet at Wisconsin Rapids. April 26, Sparta Relay Meet with Sparta, tational Meet including New Lisbon, Reedsburg, Black River Falls, Westby, Sparta and Tomah. The outstanding men on our track team were William Nigbor, Richard Spangenberg, Robert Al- ler and Thomas Curry. The last three qualified for the state meet, but William Nigbor whose rec- ord was unsurpassed was unable to compete in the district meet due to illness. In the school class meet the juniors proved to be superior. All letter- men except William Nigbor, who graduated, will be returning this spring and we are looking for- ward to a very successful track season.

We held our first meeting at the beginning of the second semes- ter, and everyone was pleased with the good turn-out. We elected officers who are: Marion Dohlin, president, Kathleen Mon- ahan, vice president, Shirley Schroeder, secretary---treasurer. Most of the girls are working for 'I s that are earned with a thou- sand points which we get by par- ticipating in all types of sports. All of you saw us play the cham- pionship girl's basketball game and I'll bet you were surprised. G.A.A. is always interested in new members and anyone who wants to run off those extra pounds, or just plain have a good time should join next year. BW' We BW' Www! ' All boys of Tomah High School are required to take gym unless they are excused or take part in other sports. Coach Quandt is our gym instruc- tor, and the classes are scheduled according to study periods which the boys have during the day. The boys have gym two times a week which gives them plenty of exercise. The years work consists of touch football, basketball, boxing, volleyball, softball, track, calisthenics and a few minor sports. Each class has a team in every sport which competes with other teams from other classes for championship. A medal is given to the best boy in all events throughout the year. The boys enjoy their gym classes. It makes them more alert. BW' GW Sf Q - Batter u pl I was single, my ef .wx Pi 4- sapi QW ,J if 6-MQW N Nha MV, 'fi' wif Q 4?
