The l'listory oi the Class oT T934 HE CLASS OF T934 had iTs humble beginnings way back in I92l when six wide-eyed, open-mouThed children were broughT up The sTeps oT The Milwaukee UniversiTy School on Broadway inTo The big kindergarTen. There, under The kind supervision oT TanTe Anna, Billie l'lallsTrom, Eleanor Lindemann, DoroThy Zinn, Tom Duncan, Fred Wagner, and l-leinz WerwaTh learned how To build block houses and make baskeTs ouT oT TooThpicks and dried peas. In grade school oThers swelled The ranks oT The old guard, and blocks and baskeT making were discarded Tor aThleTics. To Think ThaT only a Tew years ago The debuTanTes oT The presenT class were whalloping The boys in pom-pom-pull- away! ln The Tall oT 1927 we abandoned The old school on Broadway, and moved To our presenT locaTion. One year laTer we sTormed inTo The Junior l-ligh School. lmmediaTely The Class oT '34 Took parT in every acTiviTy. Even in The sevenTh grade we had members on The aThleTic squads. ln eighTh grade, wiTh an original drammer enTiTled Crime Never Pays, we Tingled The spines oT an appreciaTive audience and won The school inTerclass play conTesT. AbouT This Time The class became social lions and embarked inTo The inTricacies oT Terpsichore. This year, Too, The Bell broThers composed The school Pep Song. AT The advenT oT The Treshman year our number was pracTically doubled, principally by many oT our Tormer rivals oT Normal School. The Erosh TooTball Team oT ThaT year had a successTul season, and The Freshman baskeTball Team esTablished iTselT as one oT The besT Teams in The school hisTory by winning The championship oT The Junior Suburban ConTerence. NOT To be ouTdone, The girls' baskeTball Team came wiThin Two poinTs oT winning The inTerclass baskeTball Tourna- menT. This year again The class produced an original dramaTic masTerpiece, The Romance oT a Busy Broker. We also won The T-lerzTeldT scholarship Trophy Tor The highesT record oT scholarship in The High School. The sophomore year Tound many oT The boys on The wonderTully successTul TooTball Team oT '32, The Team which seT a school record in games won and losT, The enTire junior Team oT I93O played varsiTy baskeTball, and several oT The soph- omores won leTTers on The swimming Team. Tennis and Track also drew valuable sophomore maTerial, and many oT The boys won Their leTTers. l-le ls The People's Choice, and oTher like expressions will long be remembered as a parT oT The unusual sophomore program oT This year, The DemocraTic NaTional ConvenTion. In i932 The TooTball squad was composed mainly oT juniors, and The TighTing spiriT which The class showed in The Tace oT exTremely adverse condiTions demon- sTraTed Their True meTTle. OTTseTTing a somewhaT unsuccessTul TooTball season, The baskeTball Team, consisTing oT The original Junior ConTerence champs oT '3I, and The swimming Team, wiTh many juniors on iT, had wonderTully successTul seasons. Many juniors were also on The equally successTul Track and Tennis Teams, The annual Junior Prom, This year a veriTable ice-palace, was a huge success, and The very TinesT Prom in school hisTory ldespiTe The TacT ThaT The same Thing is said elsewhere in This book abouT The Prom oT The presenT Junior classl. The class was well represenTed in dramaTics, especially by girls, and juniors Took an acTive parT in The Girls' Club. In This, our lasT year, we have seT up an enviable record. ThirTeen seniors were on The TooTball squad, and were mainly responsible Tor The successTul sea- son. OTT To a slow sTarT, The baskeTball Team, again composed almosT wholly oT seniors, Tinished brillianTly againsT a diTTiculT schedule, while seniors won The majoriTy oT poinTs on The swimming Team. The girls aT This Time were quiTe suc- cessTul in Their inTra-mural games. WiTh Ered Wagner as presidenT, The STudenT Council has Taken a leading parT in school liTej and under The admirable guidance oT PaTsy BornsTein, The Girls' Club has reached The mosT acTive poinT oT iTs exisTence. This year more seniors were elecTed To The NaTional T-lonor SocieTy and The MaTh l-lonor SocieTy, and many seniors received awards aT The aThleTic banqueT. This brings To a close The hisTory oT The class oT I934 ThroughouT our years in school we have gained more Trom iT Than we will ever be able To repay, and iT is wiTh a Teeling oT deepesT regreT and TondesT remembrance ThaT we leave M. U. S. To Tind new worlds To conquer. I5

As we walk along The bank oT The scenic PoTomac, a channel swimmer comes inTo sighT whom we Tind is Frank Frey on his annual pilgrimage Trom BalTimore To WashingTon, D.

We decide To sTay in BosTon, and in The aTTernoon we go ouT To see The Red Sox play The ST. Louis Browns aT Thompson's SporTing Arena.
