Mrs. Emma Osgood-Moorc and Miss Marie Maxson. There have been but few changes in this past year. We regretted to lose Miss Julia Hammel. formerly of the Commercial Depart- ment, who is, at present, teaching at River- side High School. Mr. Otto Birr of the History and Civics Departments and Mr. Clyde Sims of the Latin Department have taken over the positions of vice-principals of ' graded schools. Miss Edna Gregg and Miss Helen Ostrom. both of the Mathematics De- partment, arc now teaching at North Divi- sion High School and Steuben Junior High School respectively. Mrs. Margaret Flegal. former shorthand and t y p e w r iting teacher, has also left. There have been. however, several ad- ditions made to the faculty in the vari- o u s departments. Miss Ida Kuchnast has entered Washing ton from Peckham Junior High School and is teaching German. Miss Alice Gutsch is in the Art Department, and Miss Verna Schultz. who entered Washing- ton from Whitewater Normal, teaches short- hand and typewriting in the Commercial De- partment. Miss Evangeline Fisher has been added to the History Staff. The teachers of Washington High School enjoyed their annual outing last fall at the farm of Mr. Robert Ewers near Menomonee Falls. A Christmas party was also held in the cafeteria last December, and even Santa Claus was present to distribute gifts and give added gayety to the party. It is this spirit of play while you play as well as work while you work which fosters be- tween teachers and individual pupils a mutual feeling of friendliness and help- fulness without which the true aim of education cannot be obtained, and that .lim is ever uppermost in the minds of Washington High School ' s faculty.

THE TEACHER ' S CREED I BELIEVE in BOYS and GIRLS, the men and women of a great tomorrow; that whatsoever the boy soweth, the man shall reap. I BELIEVE in the curse of ignorance: in the efficacy of schools; in the dignity of teaching; and in the joy of serving others. I BELIEVE in wisdom as revealed in human lives as well as in the pages of printed books; in lessons taught not so much by precept as by example; in ability to work with the hands as well as to think with the head; in everything that makes life large and lovely. I BELIEVE in beauty in the school room, in the home, in daily life and out of doors. I BELIEVE in laughter; in love; in faith; in all ideals and distant hopes that lure us on. I BELIEVE that every hour of every day we receive a Just reward for all we are and all we do. I BELIEVE in the present and its opportunities; in the future and its promises; and in the divine joy of living. Edwin Osgood Grover. Page Twenty-five Louis X ' I roon Agitativc recitation A 7 ale of Two Cities ENGLISH AND SPEECH L ANGWIDGE was what it was called ' when our grandfathers attended the little red schoolhouse in the days of birch switches and half holidays. Today we politely term it English, because the schoolhouse is no longer red, and switches and half holidays have passed with the horses and buggies. In one of the most important phases of English — composition work — efforts have been employed to develop creative writing, devel- oping within the student the ability to write from personal experience and emotion as well as with an individual style. Consequently, some very fine work in all English classes in the shape of essays, short stories, and poetry has helped to make The Scroll ' s literary page the epitome of ths school ' s finest c re- ative work. Subsequent to th: study of Addison and Steele, individual Spectator satires were written by students in English 8 classes. A standard vocabu- lary test, also in English 8, proved an incentive for cxtend- Suppressed Desires ing vocabularies. Through the use of a model stage and settings made by Herbert Peters, Macbeth was very effectively presented. In Miss Orma Keuper ' s English 5 group a com- pilation of letters from successful men and women was made as a general project. Gram- mar essentials were given due emphasis in rela- tion to the creative writing. Hand in hand with English walks Speech. While someone has said that speech was given to man to disguise his thought, pub- lic speaking has a less enigmatic aim — to give poise, skill in conversation, training in reference work, as well as ability to de- bate well. Very fi ne work was done in after dinner speaking, dramatics, and debating. Through their very purpose the speech classes offer valuable training to the school leaders. Both departments ; ' - ; iiB BM M improve the medium of self-expression : one through speech alone, the other through ipcech and writing. America has turnished — Patie Tu ' cnty-s x Cotyledons ' ir Grasshopper is up for inspection Chemist — in the making SCIENCE WHEN pungent odors of gases and chemicals taint the pure atmosphere of A or B. and when students and teach- ers ahke reach with dignity for handker- chiefs to be appHed to nostrils, we ' re posi- tive that world-startling experiments are in the making somewhere on fourth floor south. The broad value of the sciences to the stu- dent is obligingly summed up bv Mr. Harvey Drake thus: Science opens the door to a world of three great spheres. Biology treats with fundamental processes of living things; chemistry gives us a more detailed knowledge of these processes, together with the basic principles upon which all industries operate: physics acquaints us with the different mechanical devices and laws that enable man to be such tre- mendous power in the world today. Television or mo- tion pictures by means of radio, vari- ous clever electrical devices, such as a leyden jar. electro- Our hothouse phorous. and an electroscope were made by members of Mr. Drake ' s physics classes. In Mr. Joseph Boriff ' s Chemistry group one enthusiast undertook the growing of crystal, while a very difficult project involving various silicates was made by Guy Wiley in Mr. Hasso Pestalozzi ' s class. In biology and general science work, films have added increasing interest and variety. Charts of heredity laws, diet studies, and book- lets containing special nature observations have been compiled by members of this year ' s biology group. In the general science special experiments were performed by the classes in connection with class work. The use of films in both groups proved a great aid to the instruction. Of special interest are live animals and plants in the labora- tory, the garden studies, the planting by individual stu- dents of seeds, of cgetables, and flow- ers in seed flats in the conservatory lor outdoor trans- planting. Scientific research Page Twentu -seven Spanish play Latin German Six MODERN LANGUAGES AND LATIN IF you do not know a foreign language, you do not know your own. Thus the great poet Goethe expressed one of the chief educa- tional benefits of foreign language study. Through the study of French. German, or Spanish, the student acquires the ability to express himself orally and in writing about the common things in everyday life: to read easy books with pleasure: to pay attention to detail, to be accurate, and to be tolerant, thus strength- ening his own character. In one of the German classes scenes from William Tell were memorized for class present- ation. All classes in the modern language group compiled original detailed booklets con- taining information and pictures concerning the people studied, their countries, and their modes of living. Thus, the study of modern languages combines a very prac- tical knowledge with a cultural objective. To know anoth- er language is to live another life, says Victor Hugo. the great French novelist. Gcrm.in The immediate objective of the study of Latin is the acquisition of the ability to read and translate the language. Through effective translation, the pupil will learn to express him- self in clear and concise English. It is in this manner that Mr. Gudwin .John- son states the immediate purpose of the depart- ment. Because more than half of the English words are of Latin derivation, a thorough knowledge of the language will increase a pupil ' s English vocabulary. There is also a secondary aim — culture. Latin gives one an insight into the customs, manners, and character of the ancient Romans, who had a great influence upon our present civilization. For example, their ideas on law and government have been handed down to us. The new textbook which was introduced in- to the Caesar classes emphasizes cultural aims. Reports were iven in some classes on topics of Roman life. Slides were also shown. French Page Twenly-etght ■S — 1 II i ju j,, Trig The square root is More trig MATHEMATICS AND HISTORY DURING the past year the Mathematics Department has striven to create in the stucients real interest in the stuciy of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, as the case might be. Indeed, to judge by Mr. Henry Eric- son ' s trigonometry classes, there is no greater sport than sliding slide rules, unless it be surveying the auditorium, as the classes have done this year. Mathematically trained minds that reason logically and analytically are in great de- mand in a scientific age such as the present. An appreciation of the value to be gained in these courses is evident in the steady up- ward trend of enrollment. The Mathematics Department follows closely behind the Com- mercial and English Departments in the number of students enrolled. Due to the absence of freshmen at Washington this year the number of algebra classes has decreased, but there has been an increase in the geometry classes. Exploring a manor To foster an understanding of and respect tor the supreme law of the land through a study of the political development of the United States, to keep abreast of the times by becoming familiar with current political prob- lems, to interpret present and the future by the past — that is the aim of Historv. During the year students have presented character studies of famous historical figures; constructive map work has been emphasized, and in American History and Civics, the Con- stitution was given special study. Variety was introduced by the drawing of composite maps and plats of public buildings, business sections, and political divisions of the city and county. In keeping with this project a study of duties of public officials was made. Students per- sonally investigated and reported on the matter studied. In the history I classes a new project of five maps per se- mester, to be con- structed in class by students from mem- ory, was introduced. Is located Page Twenty-nine Our future accountant Listening in COMMERCIAL THE aim of the Commercial Department. states iMr. Lillard Culver, group chair- man, is to prepare young people who ex- pect, after leaving school, to devote their lives to business or to vocations in which a knowledge of business is essentia!, to take their places in this great commercial nation of ours. The salesmanship and advertising classes under Mr. Ralph Blair have emphasized the value of salesmanship in every day life. The pupils were required to give three-minute talks along sales lines, as well as their regular sales demonstrations. A scrap book, illustrating the various advertisements, was also made. The main objective of the shorthand and typing department is to supply the busi- ness world with competent stenogra- phers and business assistants in various lines of work. The shorthand IV and typing I ' classes have again studied legal forms. thus acquainting t h e m- selves with particu- lar kinds of stenographic and secretarial work. Mr. Clifford Seifert. who taught ofRce prac- tice at Washington several years ago. has again returned to take charge of the office practice classes. He produces for the business man competent calculator operators, as well as teaches the students the operation of the various machines found in a modern office, such as the dictaphone and cdiphone. the ad- ding machines, and the bookkeeping machines. The different systems of filing are also studied at some length. Business Organization aims to give an un- derstanding of business as a whole. The ability to perform just a single task is no longer all that is required of an ofiice worker: he must also understand the work he does and its importance and rela- tionship to the rest of the organization of which he is a part. The commercial law classes have been studying cases to give them a better under- standing of the sub- jects covered in their regular class wcirk. Inducing decision Page Thirty ie- -t ' - ' Pnnting Potential artist Painting FINE ARTS THE purpose of the Music Department is to encourage finer feelings and more in- terest in music. I upils have been showing remarkable interest in music, as shown bv the large enrollment in the chorus anci harp classes, band, orchestra and glee clubs. In addition to having a cultural value, music is practical. It teaches us a way of spending our leisure time, and is therefore considered a live problem by thoughtful people. A nation cannot be strong if it is not cultured, and music develops both the mind and the soul of the student. The high school age is one of ideals: yet in feeding the materia! side of life, we often neglect the spiritual. Music is a social art and can bring happiness to many. Under the able leadership of Mr. Fred G. Smith, the various sections of this department have appeared before the school in programs, which have shown the growing appre- ciation of the Wash- ingtonians for music. Sweet and Low ' How that Art Department child does grow! Three teachers in place of two and a half marks another step forward. This department has increased in enrollment to such an extent that it threatens to overflow 409 and 410. In fact, some students with unusually large posters, batiks, etc.. were forced to borrow space from 402 during its vacant hours. The first four semesters in the Art Course are devoted to acquiring the principles of design, color, composition, and lettering, with prac- tical application in the form of various crafts: and to developing an intelligent appreciation of form, color, and design in everyday surround- ings. It is to be hoped that in the near future a separate fifth semes- ter class may be formed as an intro- duction to the more complicated problems of the later semesters. Good taste is only the apprecia- tion of good form, color, and arrange- ment — which the Art Department calls composition. High Jinks Paae Thirtu-one Capability plus The Open House display Tune in on ability MANUAL AND HOUSEHOLD ARTS BECAUSE so many boys are interested in mechanical and engineering pursuits, the Manual Arts Department again had full classes in all of its divisions. In the classes in ele- mentary shop work under the direction of Mr. Lauren Sprague, emphasis was placed on hand work, and many interesting and useful projects were made without the use of any machine. Mr. Bristol Wing, who has charge of classes in advanced wood work, stressed the importance of good design and careful finish. The students acquired an appreciation of the artistic as well as skill in execution. The metal-working classes under the direc- tion of Mr. Donald Mcreen gained experience in the many methods of cutting and shaping metals, including drilling, filing, turn- ing, forging, and soldering. A study of the characteristics of different metals was made while working out a num- ber of useful pro- jects. Drawings for sheet metal patterns, ga- rage buildings, cams, Needles and pins gears, bearings, and devices for transmitting and controlling motion were made in the me- chanical drawing classes. In the advanced classes under the direction of Mr. Edward Berg, complete detail and assembly drawings for a small machine were made. The aim of the Household Arts Depart- ment, states Miss Henrietta Fairall. is to teach the girls to select their clothes and household furnishings intelligently and tastefully. The sewing classes have worked on many interesting projects during the course of the past year. They have made hats, dresses, and coats, as well as studied the textile fibers and the various weaves in making cloth. The girls also worked up a budget showing how much of the family income should eco- nomically be ex- pended for their clothes. Sewing teaches one not onlv the mak- ing of clothes, but also the art of learn- ing just what styles are most suitable and becoming to one ' s own particular type. Even all around Page Thirty-lwo A perfect pass Keeping; ht Batter up PHYSICAL EDUCATION THE physical well-being of the Washington- ians has been cared for by the Misses Nellie Havens and Adele Falk, instructors of the girls, and by Coaches Arthur Meyer and Lisle Black- bourn, instructors of the boys. The boys were taught fundamentals of all athletics during their respective seasons. With the intention of encouraging greater participa- tion in athletics and more entries in the various events. Coach Arthur Meyer instituted a point system which enables a boy to earn a gold, silver, or bronze button awarded for three thousand, two thousand, and one thousand points respectively, for competing and placing in an event, as well as being a mere participator in Coach Blackbourn has taught some of his classes boxing. Practice work in the apparatus offered di- version as well as a means of physical benefit. In the spring, members of the gymnasium classes competed in running, polevault- ing. and track events. any form, of athletics. One- two- three- four The girls of each gym class again divided themselves into two teams — the Red and the Blue. In each class, tournaments were held in volley ball, bat ball, basketball, captain ball, and in some track events. A girls ' bat ball team represented the girls ' gym in the Exhibition at the Auditorium on April 4. When the weather permitted, the girls enjoyed out-of-door running and games of baseball and bat ball. In some of the classes, socker football and medicine ball were played. An advanced class of about fifteen students, under the instruction of Miss Nellie Havens, was formed for those girls who wished to continue physical education. As to the aim of this department. Miss Adele Falk states: Our aim is to de- velop an interest in that type of physical activity which is best adapted to the future physical well-being of the girls. Altogether the in- terest shown in both girls ' and boys ' gym work is highly grati- fying.

F. Miller. At her desk, busy with records and files, may be seen Miss Sylvia Brooks. Senior Clerk. Miss Viola Molkentin. Junior Clerk, shakes a reprov- ing head over absence records. Student assistants perform minor duties and errands. In the adjoining private office of Principal Balzer, the same atmosphere of work and ef- ficiency predominates. The wide, spacious study will always have a place in the school memories of every student, for there is no one. teacher or student of Washington, who has not at some time sat before the big desk s e e i n g the Principal . With kindly advice and suggestions and with careful attention to each individual, he holds consultation with every prospec- tive senior in the making of his pro- gram. Our librarian According to the general opinion of the stu- dents the most popular study room in Wash- ington is the school library. Here, if one is deeply intent in studying history and requires a reference on the Napoleonic Wars, he can stretch out an arm and pluck the book from the shelves almost without interrupting his study. The li- brary is always the last resort of anxious stu- dents seeking lost teachers, for they are often to be found browsing among the books touching their special studies, whether it be mathematics, science. English, or history. The very atmos- phere of the library, one of quiet, order, and study, is conducive to conc entration in reading. In order to facilitate the students ' use of the library, lectures on the arrangement of the books and the use of the card catalogue are given each semester to the English 3 classes by the librarian. Miss Norma Zartner. Eight girls act as assistants to Miss Zartner in car- rying out the work and policies of the library. Literature leanings Paae Thirtu-iour amis SEPTEMBER ' 29 CLASS THE increasing number of students com- pleting their higli-school courses in sum- mer schools, finishing either in less or more than the normal four-year period, resulted in their missing some of the pleasures and ad- vantages of class organization and activity. This situation motivated the formation of Washington Hi gh School ' s first September Class — that of 1929. Norman Stoll. President: Adelaide Minke- bige. Vice-President: Jane Eastman. Secretary; Harvey Walker. Treasurer: and Pierson Cock- ing. Sergeant-at-Arms, served this class of thirty members as officers. Dan Hoffman (chairman ) . Oscar Klockler. and Pierson Cock- ing constituted the gift committee. The motto, flower, and color committee was composed of Allyn Charles, (chairman). William .Jelen- chick, and Dorothy Trosch. Promising elements of leadership and intel- lect were found in this class of September 1929. Norman Stoll. President, also presided over his class as a junior. His journalistic efforts on The Scroll were given nation-wide recognition in Creative Writing . Dan Hoffman ' s activities in for- ensics will be remembered also. By the consent o f the members of both classes, the September group combined Norman Stoll Valedictorian its gift fund with that of the June 1929 class f or the purchase of chandeliers for the assemblies of the building. Maroon and silver were selected as class colors, and the aster as the class flower, both of these choices being prompted by their relationship to the late summer and autumn season. Late organization deferred the plan- ning and execution of class activities in- to the summer months, which condition precluded many class functions held in pros- pect by the members of the class. Future summer school graduating classes will be- gin organization and plans earlier in the season. Using the foundation set by the first September Class, following summer-school graduates will no doubt have almost as complete class functions as the regular Feb- ruary and June graduates of Washington High School. The first summer school graduating class was obliged to carry out its organization and plans without the assistance or di- rection of a sponsor. How- c V e r. the September 1930 ;4roup will have as their sponsor Mr. Ralph Blair. To all future September sum- mer school graduates are ex- tended the good wishes of the pioneer class of September 1 929.

ADVISEMENT A SYSTEM of group advisement for . semesters 3, 4, 5, and students is being evolved by Principal George Balzer. Mr. Francis C. Rosecrance, City Director of Ad- visement, and the Advisement Committee of which Miss Helen Green is chairman. Prin- cipal Balzer assists seventh and eighth semester students to plan their final pro- grams. Although the school had a system of advisement previously, the system being experimented provides for 29 special groups of about 25 each under individual faculty direction. Definitely organized topical programs have been carried in each section. In semester 3 groups orientation and adjustment to school regula- tions were effected, in addition to mak- ing and using a study plan approved by adviser, parent, and student himself. The use and misus: of grades, extra-cur- r i c u 1 a r activities, and the planning of programs were dis- cussed. Page Ninely-tivo Semester 4 groups stressed adjustment to the needs of the new semester and the making of an appropriate study plan. Learn- ing, Being. Serving, and Earning as advan- tages of going through high school were discussed. In a talk to the groups Prin- cipal Balzer closed this series of topics, empha- sizing the value of making a creditable record. Familiarity with the course and the meaning of reviews were given special attention. Proper methods of study, the immediate and ultimate value of the student ' s own pro- gram, and the merits of subjects offered in the seventh and eighth semesters were stressed in fifth semester groups. Opportunity for interviews with business and professional men and representatives of ac- credited colleges and universities was of- fered to students. Eflort has been made to give students information and ad- vice to help them toward success and happiness in high school and later life.

This summer school graduation was inaugurated in nineteen hundred and twenty-nine. The present class numbers thirty- two members of whom twenty-five are bovs and seven are girls. Though this group is a separate entity, it is an integral part of the Senior Class so far as participation in the various so- cial functions is concerned. It contributed its share toward the success of the Senior- Junior Prom, the Class Play, the Senior- Freshie Day program, and other social ac- tivities. The class docs, however, have its own class organization. Robert Lind was elected to the Presidency: Irving Kowalsky was chosen as the Vice-President: and Alice Hein was the victorious candidate for the position of Secre- tary-Treasurer: the Sergeant-at-Arms was Harold Woerishofer. Interest in sports was among the group. Th? Golf Club claimed Gertrude Voigt. Carl Dittmann. and Howard Bringe. the latter o! whom also held for a time the position of head usher Elihu Horwitz was a member of the cross-country squad; Harold Strasse ' s in- Robert Lind not lacking terest lay in track and he was the champion of the light weight boxers. Irving Ko- walsky s interest lay in both track and foot- ball. In the Newsboys ' Club we find the names of Howard Bringe. Orris Gruenberg, Orlin Haack, Elihu Horwitz, Irving Kowalsky, Frank McCarthy, Raymond Socol, and Harold Stresse. Rose Singer was a library assistant and represented the library on the Student Council. The president appointed James O ' Rourke Chairman of the Class Color Committee: the position of Chairman of the Motto Com- mittee w a s given to Louis Habel; and Carl Dittmann was Chairman of the Program Committee. Mr. Ralph J. Blair was the sponsor of the class. It is the aim of the members of the class to keep the class together throughout the whole summer during which time they will attend North Division High School to com- plete their high-school careers. The diplo- mas will be awarded to these graduates of Washington High School in September. The September Class co- operates with the June Class in the award of a gift to the school. And so another class finishes its career. Alice Hein Page Nmety-thret ' ■ ■lll JiiBlli 4? Sherman B.ikc FEBRUARY ' 31 CLASS THE February ' 31 Class has a good begin- ning to make the last days of its life at Washington a pleasure and a joy under the de- lightful and capable leadership of Donald Herbst. Donald has been prominent in outside activities, having been the vice-president of the Junior Class and a faithful worker in Philo- mathea. Besides this, he has done student serv- ice work for several semesters making him able to lead a class of this size so well. The officers who arc interested in literary work are Sherman Baker. Vice-President, who has worked on The Scroll and held offices in Philomathea: the Secretary, Edna Mixdorf. who has been Secretary to Philomathea and a member of its Intersociety debate team: and Robert Bey- er, the Treasurer, who does Scroll work in ad- dition to his endeavor to keep the class finan- cially respectable. An able man is the Sergeant-at-Arms. Ed- ward Trappe, who also has done considerable work in the Newsboys ' Club. In outside activities this class is especially proud of Walter Ott. who was a member of the State Debate team. Philomathea ' s Interso- ciety orator, and publicity edi- tor of the Bi-Wcckly. and of Marjorie Anspach who won fame as a harpist and as a con- sistent member of the Honor Roll. She also distinguished CLissm Page Ninely-Fnur herself by being elected to the National Honor Society in her junior year. Football claims Ted Kramer. Frank Schacht, and Harry Pivar. while Gilbert Laur is a bas- ketball man of some renown. Keith Appelby, Victor Bringe, Theodore Twelmeyer, and Grace Hollenbeck all have con- tributed to our reading pleasures through the medium of The Scroll. There are two outstanding splashmen, Wil- liam Nicman. who was a high point scorer in swimming meets, and Gordon Armbruster. Those who appealed to our musical natures were Norbert Krueger, Norman Lewis, and Walter Ott. Honorable mention is given to Elmer Schienbein who works in the bookstore and to William Retcrt who operates the slide machine and is a member of the stage crew. Ray Wilcox. Ruby Nenn. and Mildred Scbmitt have done remarkable art work and Edith Wallschlaeger has shown her ability by heading the student monitors. Walter Ott. who competed with Helen Duras and Charles Merten for the edi- tor-in-chiefship of The 1930 Scroll, will pilot the Bi-Weekly on its course next semester. The start, it is agreed, has been very promising. All Wash- ington is focusing its attention with a certain pride, on the February 103 1 Class.

Page Ninety-Seven Tom Leech Charles Jacobson Jane Bassctt Harris Stockl.ind Gilbert Deakin JUNE ' 31 CLASS IN the spring term of 1929 the Junior Class was organized, selecting Tom Leech, President; Charles Jacobson. Vice-Presi- dent: Jane Bassett, Secretary: Harris Stock- land, Treasurer: and Lester Kurzon, Sergeant- at-Arms. The honor of the class has been upheld in various fields of activity. On the football team were two emblem men. Edward Hartl and Mil- ton Trost. the latter an all-city man. Other juniors who contributed to the success of the squad were Roger Ellingson, Kenneth Erdman, Charles Jacobson, Tom Korb, Tom Leech. Harvey Leiser, and Erank Spearing. The most consistent point winner of the juniors on the track team was Milton Trost. In the wrestling tournament, out of a large number of partici- pants two of the sixth semester boys defeated all comers in their respective classes. They were James Bookhamer, 115-pound class, and Peter Knispck. a 135-pounder. Jack Gregg and Tom Leech were co-champions, while Tom Korb emerged successful in the 155-pound class. The boys who did some good swim- ming for the school were Hu- bert Will, Ernest Nygren. and Jack Schmitt. The class was also well repre- sented in fields other than ath- letics. Leonard Schweitzer and Hubert Will were State Debate alternates: Helen Duras and Charles Merten both aspired to the editor-in- chiefship of The Scroll Bi-Weekly. Three juniors have been literary society presidents — Leonard Schweitzer of Alphanea; Richard Car- rigan of Lincoln: and Charles Merten of Philo- mathea. Richard Carrigan was also the Honor Roll Star , often topping the list. Together with the seniors, the juniors put over a real Prom. The committee, headed by Charles Jacobson, worked hard on a new plan, the For-gct-me-not Prom , by which flower- decked trellises and a canopy over the orchestra were employed. The dance was decidedly a credit to both classes. If past performances are indications of the future. Washington may expect big things from the June 1931 Class. The February 1932 Class was organized un- der Howard Kron, President: James O ' Reagan. Vice-President: Bernice Schroeder, Secretary: Kenneth Beckman, Treasurer: and Louis Bal- kansky. Scrgeant-at-Arms. The outstanding members in track are Milton Schmidt. Walter Cruice. and Adelbert Rietz; in band. Nathan Demerath: in journalism, Donald Raymore, Shirley Strauss, and Howard Kron: and in dramatics. Louis Balkansky, Hazel H o 1 1 e, and Bernice Schroeder. Page Ninety -eiyhl Miss Bleyer.

J= ;:,, Steuben Juninr Hish School Peckhjin Junior High School SOPHOMORE CLASS ALAS! Washington has seen the last of its freshmen. Pupils entering from Pcckham and Steuben Junior High Schools as sophomores are its youngest. The June 1932 Class and the February ' 3) Class have eagerly entered into all the organiza- tions of the school open for them. The ' 29 football team claimed the following sophomores: Jack Barlo . Norman Franken- stein, Alex Le Grand, and Harold Hallstrand. Some of the boys have shown much interest in track work and they promise good material for our track team. Boys who have done excep- tionally well in this field of athletics are Milton Schmidt. Ned Sengpiel. Jack Barlow. Alex Le Grand, and Edgar Braun. The high scholarship of this class is upheld by Irene Pappenheim. Julia Tanner. Myron Cohen. Naomi Bernstein, and Blanche Buding- er, constant members of the Honor Roll. Thirty-five members of the class went out for forensics. five placing in the finals. They are: Beatrice Groelle and Robert Kroncke in the ora- tions: Kathryn Winkelman. who did exceptionally well in the declamations: and Ruth Burgess and Dorothea Marbes in the extemporaneous readings. The three literary societies have proved themselves to be very popular this year for the incoming sophomores. Miss Honor Roll students Evelyn Purdy of Lincoln states that members who are doing outstanding work in this society are Robert Veenendahl and Beatrice Groelle, who entered orations in the Forensic Contest, Jack Levy, and Eugene Wendelburg. Miss Madge Houghton and Miss Orma Keup- er, critics of Alphanea. recommend the f ollowing students: Leonard Jostaad. Paul Klabunde. Ed- ward Pister. Irene Pappenheim. and Irene Dreckmann. Philomathea held an inter-class contest this spring, in which each class was represented by preliminary try-outs. The following soph- omores came out victorious: Edward Feldman in the extemporaneous speaking; Ivan Trosch in the orations: Kathryn Winkelman in the read- ings. The debates were not competitive, and the debaters who were chosen conducted them- selves remarkably well. They are Marion Cas- par!, William Van Roo. John Boyle, and Ellen Sullivan. As a final result, the sophomores were but one point behind the juniors and two points behind the seniors. Mention should be made of Naomi Tiefenthaler who has worked hard and long on the membership committee, and of Norman Scholber, who J gained recognition because of his untiring work as a member of the social committee, r ' -m The Junior Dramatic and the Tennis Clubs attracted many.

The question for debate was Resolved: That, the expansion of the chain store system is detrimental to the best interests of the American people. Three contests took place. One was held in the auditorium, one in assembly A. and one in assembly B. In the auditorium the debaters for Al- phanea were Monica Kellaway, Raymond Rice, Howard Schneider, captain, and Harris Stock- land, alternate. They upheld the affirmative side of the question. The debaters for Philo- mathea in this room were Charles Merten, Donald Taft, Charles Bridges, captain, and Edna Mixdorf, al- ternate. Harvard Kaufman orated for Alphanea and Robert Lcvine for Philo- mathea. The readers were Rosemarie Henoch. Alphanea, and Vivian Fridell, Philo- mathea. In assembly A the orators were Walter Ott, Philomathea, and Merten Gill, Lincoln, and the readers were Pearl Rogatz. Philomathea, and Hazel Holle, Lincoln.

The affirmative team de- feated Waukesha and Kenosha, but was de- feated by Columbus. The negative team de- feated Waukesha, Kenosha, and Monroe, only to fall before Washington ' s traditional rivals. Fort Atkinson. This was a most splendid record for both teams. The affirmative team was composed of Bernard Hankin, Marjorie Fraser. Walter Ott, captain, and Hubert Will, alternate. Those who upheld the negative were James Pasch. Grace Schaefer, Robert Thurwachter, captain, and Leonard Schweitzer, alternate. The question for debate this year was. Resolved, That installment buying of personal property as is now practiced in the United States is both socially and economically de- sirable. Much of the success of the teams was due to the able coaching of Mr. Howard Maule and Mr. Kenneth Dewey. The team met in 402 daily. Washington ' s Spring Forensic Contest brought forth an unprecedented number of en- thusiastic students. Those who took part in the final contest April 25 were Robert Kroncke, Beatrice Groelle, and Merten Gill, in the ora- tions: Mary Clauder, Kathryn Winkelman, and Hazel Holle in the reading contest: James Pasch, Walter Ott, and Hubert Will in the ex- temporaneous speaking, and Dorothea Marbes, Helen Burgess, Richard Carrigan in the ex- temporaneous reading. Mr. Gill, Miss Claud- er. Mr. Pasch, and Miss Burgess were success- ful in this local contest. The coaches for these last four speakers were Mr. Maule, Miss Thompson, and Mr. Dewey, In the contest with North, Tech, and Ke- nosha, Washington took first place in the extemporaneous speaking and reading contests. At the State Teachers ' College in the next contest, Washington took first in the extemporaneous reading, and Miss Burgess, the i winner, went to Madison to rep- resent us in the final contest.

BAND HOW many of you have been thrilled by the purple and gold W that is formed on the football field by the Washington High School Band between the halves at all of the games? Washington has every reason to be proud of its band, for the band is one of the largest and best in the state. Under the able and untiring direction of Mr. Harry O ' Neil and the efficient management of Mr. Hasso Pestalozzi, the band has surpassed all expectations and has concluded a most suc- cessful year. The object of the band is to stimulate an interest in music among the students and to serve the school most satisfactorily. The duties of the band are many. They must be at all the football games. Often the weather is inclement. It may be raining or snowing, but the band is always there with a smile. The band also gave a concert at Open House. The climax of the year for the band came with the An- Robert SuLiff nual Band Concert on April 11. The pro- grarri , included popular, classical, and humorous numbers. It was one of the most successful concerts we have ever had. In the latter part of the term the band represented the school in the Annual State Tournament. All entrants were required to play the difficult pieces — Egmont Overture and Slavonic Rhapsody. The band officers for the two semesters were Robert SielafF, President: James Kurth, Vice-President: and Wilbur Webb. Secretary- Treasurer. The band rewards those who have served faithfully by giving them a small charm shaped like a drum. Those who have been in the band for three years re- ceive gold charms. Those who have served two years obtain a silver one, and those who have served one year get a bronze one.

Smith ' s guida rice the Senior Orchestra has accomplished a great deal in the past year. The students themselves learned much about the art of music appreciation, for only the very best of classical pieces are selected. The Orchestra opened the school year by playing at Open House. The pieces played were High Jinks by Friml: selections from Der Freischutz by Weber: The Erl King by Schubert: and Intermezzo by Bizet. Per- haps the greatest work of the Orchestra last semester was accompanying the glee clubs in presenting O ' Hara ' s operetta. Peggy and the Pirate. on December 9. On January 1 7 the Orchestra played for the February class plays, and on May 2 3 and 24 for the June class play. For the June play Mr. Smith selected eighteenth century music to correlate with the play which was of that period. The numbers played were the Overture from Cep- hale et Procris by Gretry: the Walter Ott Air of Louis XIIF ' by Ghys: the minuet from Bernice by Handel: and the Dance from Orpheus by Gluck. This year the orchestra has rendered several programs during the morning convocation period: and on March 7. at the request of the Extension Department of the School Board, it played for a public concert at the Thirty- seventh Street Social Center. The officers of the Senior Orchestra are elected every September. The officers are Walter Ott, President: Hubert Will, Vice- President: and N o r b e r t Krueger, Secre- tary-Treasurer. Mr. Hagberg is faculty adviser. The Junior Orchestra, which prepares students for the Senior Orches- tra, is also under the direction of Mr. Smith. The students meet sixth hour on alternate days. They have progressed very rapidly and on Open House night united with the Senior Orchestra in playing Bizet ' s In termezzo . Norbcrt Krueger Page One Hundred Tiven q-n:. I ' .-i.

Singing, as we view it today, is not only a delightful recreation, but also a valuable training, both from a mental and social point of view. A student learns to co-operate, since, in a chorus, he has to work with other people. Members of the club must be mentally alert and develop a keen appreciation of good music. As a general rule, the Glee Club makes approximately three or four appearances be- fore the student body during a semester. This year, it also gave an annual concert in unison with the other music organizations of the school, as well as partaking in a May Festival held at the Auditori- um and given by all the city high schools. The Music Con- vention at Chicago is an affair in which cities, not schools, are represented. Pupils of the mmmm:- y. Florence Pautsch various high schools who wish to take part in the city chorus must first pass a test at their respective schools: then, selections are made from these students to represent the city at the Convention. Washington placed in this chorus. Peggy and the Pirate. the operetta pre- sented December 1 3 by the entire Glee Club, was a wondrful success. Tryouts were held even for the chorus. The members of the club worked long and untiringly, as was shown by the complete attendance at rehearsals. which were held every evening. The club showed wonderful co-operation in its ability to put over the performance. The officers during the first semester were: Florence Pautsch. President: Fae Polzin. Vice-President: Margaret Kettinger. Secretary- Treasurer. During the second semester, the following were elected: Fae Polzin. President: Harriet Strauss. Vice-Presi- dent: Margaret Kettinger.

Under his guid- ance the boys have progressed rapidly and have appeared frequently before the school during the morning convocation period, usually in conjunc- tion with the Girls ' Glee Club. The Boys ' Glee Club has also appeared before the public in O ' Hara ' s operetta. Peggy and the Pirate. and at the spring band concert. The numbers sung are not all heavy and dry, but their programs are interspersed with lighter selections by con- temporary composers. The club first appeared before the school on October 9. At this time they sang with the Girls ' Glee Club, Schubert ' s The Erl King. They were accompanied by the orchestra, also presented a selection from Friml ' s opera, High Jinks. The most noteworthy piece of work that the Boys ' Glee Club did last semester was to help stage Peggy and the Pirate. It was only through long, hard work on the part of the boys and girls, and the EdgAr Doiige The untiring help of the critics. Miss Evangeline Fisher. Mrs. Alma Boundey, Mr. Harry Brown, and Mr. Fred Smith, that the operetta was a success. The boys played the part of make-believe pirates, and a jolly good crew were they with their patches, their cutlasses, and their colorful costumes. Their rendi- tion of the Pirates ' Song was beauti- ful. In February the Boys ' Glee Club again sang before the school, the numbers this time being Sympathy by Friml; On the Road to Mandalay by Speaks; and Finden ' s Kashmiri Song. Again on May 9 the boys sang Listen to the Lambs bv Dett. The officers for the Glee Club last semester were Allen wp k Timm.

During the first semester the quartet consisted of George Nauert. first tenor: Edgar Dodge, second tenor; Gordon Howell, first bass: and Allison McCain, second bass. Due to the grad- uation of Mr. McCain. Gordon Kipp was sec- ond bass for the second semester. The director was Mr. Harry Brown. The quartet practiced every other day in the auditorium, alternating with the Boys ' Glee Club. The semesters of ' 29 and ' 30 were very successful for the quartet. The boys added spice to the meetings of the Lincoln Literary Society. They rendered a few selections for a Hi-Y meeting at the Sherman Boulevard Congregational Church. They added to the good time at the Football Banquet, and they sang at auditorium meetings. All these activities took place during the first semester. The second semester of the quartet was just as busy. The boys sang at the Bethel Evan- gelical Church, the Milwaukee Journal Radio Station, and for the Young Peoples ' Society of the Sherman Boulevard Congregational Church, and at several other gatheri ngs. Their songs upon these occasions were chosen from the following list: The Untruthful Daisy , Far at Sea . Dc Back-slidin ' Brud- der . Silent Night . Sitting ' Round the Old Camp Fire . The ' Vacant Stare . Steal Away , Po Little Lamb . Swing Low Sweet Chariot . Jesus Savior Pilot Me , Dixie Kid , and the The Tack . The quartet also took prominent parts in the operetta given by the glee clubs. Gordon Howell was the dashing young hero. Edgar Dodge played the second lead and was a very serious rival to Gordon, both for the lady ' s hand and for the honors. Allison McCain took the part of the darky servant who wanted only a million dollars.

It marled the initiation of over $6000 worth of new electrical and stage equipment. This new material placed Washington ' s stage among the very best stages of the city. 11=7— During the first semester the Stage Crew was composed of Herbert Peters, Stage Manager: Waldemar Wuestneck, Chief Flyman; Elmer Van Lare, Assistant Flyman: Robert Dur- brow, Chief Propman: Karl Boedecker. Assis tant Propman: William Near. Chief Electri- cian: and William Retert. Assistant Electrician. These boys carried on the work most effi- ciently. During the first semester the boys worked on the settings for the Operetta, the three one act plays that the ;, February Seniors gave. th. Christmas Play, and the van ous auditorium meetings anJ Player meetings. Because of the , very short lapse of time be- tween the Operetta and the Christmas Play, the 18 scenes Herbert Peters of the Christmas Play were made in three days. The members of the crew joined the Scenites, a national organization. Scenites are a group dedicated to the advancement of amateur stag- ing and scenery design. As active members of this group the Stage Crew held meetings every two weeks during the past two semesters. They listened to lectures by professional designers or discussed the settings of the various road shows playing in the city. Work on the crew involves the construction and design of all settings for performances. During the second semester the crew con- sisted of Herbert Peters, Stage Manager: Waldemar Wuestneck, Chief Flyman: Elmer Wedell, Assistant Flyman: Earl Laatsch, Chief Propman: Hilda Wilbert, the m Assistant Propman: William |lu k ' Near, Chief Electrician: and jp William Retert, Assistant Elec- trician.

I have something in my eye. These are just a few of the requests which the girls in the Infirm ary receive. Service with a smile is the motto enshrined in the hearts of the white-uniformed infirmary attendants of Washington High. That is why your requests are always answered with unfail- ing courtesy. Giving service is their duty: and giving it with a smile is their pleasure Seem- ingly, infirmary activity extends very little fur- ther than the giving of first aid. Actually, this service reaches out to all the needs of the girls, and with simple remedies and firm but kind- ly understanding tries to cure or calm them so that they can go back to their school work, the better able to do it well. The infirmary attendants do indulge in one social affair. They hold a tea for their own little group. This tea is held in honor of the graduating members. The girls meet often to discuss various problems which arise to tax their knowledge, judgment, and self-possession. At these meet- ings too the faculty critic. Miss Helen Green of the English Department, instructs the girls in First Aid. The student supervisor for both of the semesters was Evelyn Drolshagen. The at- tendants for the first semester were Evelyn Drolshagen. Alice Klein. Clio Schneider. Margaret Kettinger. Jeannette Schieff ' er. Jane Korn. Elfrieda Hildebrand. and Virginia Cole. The attendants for the second semester were Evelyn Drolshagen. Louise Grapenthein, Ursula Nuediing. Margaret Kettinger, Jeanette Schiefl ' er. Dorothy Mendelson. Winifred Behl- ing. and Jane Korn. A Service Key may be earned by a girl who has served for two or more years in the In- firmary. A Service Certificate may be awarded a girl who has served one year. The Infirmary is located on the third floor. Room 306. Page One Hundred Thirlu-sevi « D lop row u. Po ncr, H- Stockl-md. M. Rasatr kv. I- Tro ' .t. J. Lutbcr. M, Anderson. C. Burbach. H. Bfinge. H.

Yes. sir. the third and fourth seats are yours. If you have attended any of the performances given by Washington High School from the Commencement Exercises to the Annual Inter- society Contest, you have noticed the ushers who were always ready to greet you with their pleasant smile and in a courteous manner direct you to your seats. The head usher was Howard Bringe. Un- der Howard ' s supervision were John Loeber, Donald Renner, Charles Burback. Kenneth Beckman, Harold Woerishofer. Eugene Aren- son, Frederick Hiemke, Frederick Gerretson. David Lewensohn. Robert Weckmueller. Harris Stockland, Eugene Posner, Elias Garfinkel. William Sullivan. Kenneth Braun, Carl Losse, Milton An- derson, Alvin Palow, Milton Rasansky, Ivan Trosch, and Herbert Fink. Mr. Guy Cooke advised and superintended the boys. On the afternoon before every per- formance the boys met in Room 210 for final instructions about the seating and distributing of programs. Many and varied were the times when the ushers served the school. They were on hand at the Annual Intersociety Contest, the three one-act plays given by the February Seniors, the State Debates, the Spring Forensic Con- tests, the February and June Graduations, and the Senior Play. Sixteen of the ushers took care of the main floor seating. Charles Burback was in charge of the balcony. Boys were chosen for their high scholar- ship, initiative, personality, and their ability to usher. There was a very strict rule that every member of the group must attend all the meetings held for that body. If a boy failed to attend, he forfeited his membership. There were always boys on the waiting list, for the work appeals to boys and their efficiency gives a professional air to Washington ' s public performances. ---- Howard Bringe Charles Burbach Page One Hundred Thirty-eight Top :-A.

LIBRARY— LOST AND FOUND WHERE can I find ■ ' The Cotter ' s Wed- nesday Evening ' Can you give me some information on the wheat industry? May I draw this book for two weeks or only over night? These and many more questions are courteously answered every day by Miss Norma Zartner and her able assistants. The chief aim of our schoo l library is to ex- tend service to the student body and to make their research work as easy and pleasant as pos- sible. This purpose has been accomplished during the past year by Miss Zartner and her assistants — Jane Jacobson. Mary Marcan Pearl Zimmermann. Monica Kellaway, and Merel Wise who graduated in February. The girls who have rendered service during the entire year are Rose Singer. Marguerite Beck. Doris Peter- man. Ruth Fisher. Irmgard Lauchstacdt. Harriet B e e c k. Gertrude Gabriault and Grace Schaefer. The school library has been in existence for sixteen years and has now 15.000 books. The Lost and Found Department — home of lost articles such as slickers, umbrellas, galoshes, track suits, gym outfits, hats. caps, books, pens, pencils, jewelry, vanity cases, combs, and gloves — is in a sense a modern Curi- osity Shop where all sorts of queer things may be found. Each lost article is filed, and if the owner does n o t call for it within six weeks, the article is given to the finder. Another purpose of the Lost and Found is distributing locker keys. Cabinets in Room 213 contain keys and duplicates for every locker in the entire school building. Miss Hilda Bear of the Commercial De- partment is in charge of the work, and her assistants during the past year were Ida Beaumont. Flor- ence Martin, and Ramona Lud- wig. For the two years service she has rendered, each girl upon graduation receives a service key as an appreciation of her ' fH excellent work.

This year Mr. Karl Miller and Miss Helen Green had. to assist them in the student service work. Edith Wallschlaeger, head of the assembly monitors: Elizabeth Schloegel. head of the hall monitors: and Lester Lehnherr. head of the cafeteria monitors. Miss Wallschlaeger re- placed Jane Last who resigned to become An- nual Editor. Assembly monitors were placed at the desks of Study halls 210, 220. 112. and 113 during all periods of the day. During the lunch hours monitors assumed charge in many of the smaller assemblies. Students were also placed in the office to guard the gate and Principal Balzer ' s private office and in assemblies A and B to act as assistants to the teachers in charge. The duties of the eighty -one hall monitors, stationed at the head of each stairway, were manifold. During the passing of classes they directed traffic 6trfuc ' V lib Snides and Stopped talking on the second floor. While a es were in session, they saw that there was no loitering in the halls, no opening of lockers and no abusing the privileges granted students by the kind of permits they carried. They also directed visitors i m m e d i a t c 1 y to the office. To keep order in the line passing to lunch and in the cafeteria, about twenty-four students were appointed each semester. These students also enforced the rule that no one is to leave the cafeteria for fifteen minutes after enter- ing it. selecting students to fill these posi- the qualifications of each student were carefully considered. A student ' s conduct, scholarship, honor, and sense of responsi- bility were taken into con- sideration.

The National Honor Society is a national organization created by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Its purpose is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in students. Membership in this or- ganization gives national recognition to worthy students, and is one of the highest honors possible of award in a secondary school. The members are selected by a group of the faculty. This year the committee con- sisted of Principal George Bal- zer, chairman; Mr. Lillard Cul- ver, Mr. Allison McCain, secre- tary, Mr. Edward Berg, Mr Karl Miller. Mr. Harvey Drake Miss Caroline Murphy, and Such elements as consideration, co-operation, leadership, courtesy, industry, self-control, de- pendability, and honesty are important in the building of a good character. Scholarship, lead- ership, and service are next considered. The Washington High School chapter of the National Honor Society holds its meet- ings on the last Mondays of September, November, January, March, and May, At the May meeting of the society the new members of the June graduating class are initiated.

Thus the keystone symbolizes the high ideals of the society. The flaming torch is the em- blem of the purpose. Any student aspiring to membership is advised to establish correct habits of study and play as soon as he enters high school, to become interested in doing some- thing of value and honor to his school, to co-operate with his schoolmates in the purposes of their organizations, and to endeavor con- sciously to develop the impor- tant elements of character.

Humor! Origi- nality! These were the keynotes of Philomathca ' s work during the past year of September 1929 to June 1930. During the first semester Robert Levine was President. The attractive posters were made by Raymond Wilcox. Second Vice- President, and his efficient committee. The programs were arranged by Charles Bridges. Vice-President. Financial matters were very capably managed by Hedwig Meixner. Treas- urer. The minutes were kept by Vivian Fridell. The delightful mixers the Philos enjoyed were arranged by Mcrel Wise. Am- bassador, and her peppy committee. New members were solicited by Walter Ott. the Third Vice-President, and his committee. The little fellow who always greeted members so cheerfully when they came to meetings was Charles Mer- ten. Sergeant - at - Arms. The destinies of Philomathea were guided during the first semester by these people. First came the work — and the results pro- duced showed that there was plenty of it. The Intersociety Affirmative Team was com- posed of Evelyn Wasserman. captain: Arthur Magidson. Joseph Zack. and Mildred Hender- son, alternates: the Negative were Charles Bridges, captain: Charles Merten, Donald Taft. and Edna Mixdorf. alternates. The readers were Vivian Fridell and Pearl Rogatz. and the orators were Robert Levine and Walter Ott. Then came victory, and a very satisfactory Intersociety victory it was at that. During the first semester humorous debates played a part in almost every meeting. Around Intersociety time Robert Thurwachter and James Schaefer, cheerleaders, made the win- dows rattle at pep meetings. Originality came into its own at the mixers. Games of all sorts and dancing formed the amusement. The members will never forget the cocoa, doughnuts, taffy apples, and punch for refreshments.

Jane Jacobson, Pearl Zimmer- man, Donna Greenblatt, Arthur Magidson. Joseph Zack. Gertrude Flach, Hedwig Meixner. Pearl Rogatz, Marie Petrie. Vivian Fridell. Ruth Smith, Frederick Kroncke, Eugene Grether and Miriam Kaiser were graduated Philos. The second semester ' s cabinet consisted of Charles Merten, President: Meredythe Miller, First Vice-President: Ruby Nenn. Second Vice-President: Charles Jacobson, Third Vice-President: Edna Mixdorf. Secre- tary: Elmer Meyer, Treasurer: Grace Schae- fer. Ambassador: and Louis Balkansky, Ser- geant-at-Arms. These students carried on the work of the society very well. The graduates of the second semester were Ida Beaumont, Carol Boehmer. Leah Brazy, Edna Guyot, John Eriksen, Lillie Forman. Norma Goelz, Dorothy Jansen, Harold Kief. Jane Last, George Kohler. Charles Merten Florence Martin. Elmer Meyer, Marie Nessman. Emily Packard. Dorothy Reuter, Jcanette Schieffer. Donald Taft, John Schlumberger, Mona Stein. David Velie. Evelyn Wasserman. John Wild, Alece Young, Robert Thur- wachter, and Grace Schaefer. Several new ideas were instituted in the second semester. A contest in debating, read- ing, orating, and extemporaneous speaking was held among the three classes. Some expert judges rendered decisions in these contests: however, in the debate contest the decision was given by the student mem- bers. Two classes competed in debate at one time and had an open forum rebuttal at the end of the debate. Five members of each class of the competing classes were allowed to speak in this refutation. Then one member from each side summarized the debate. The third class judged the debate. The critics of Philomathea were Miss Handt. Miss Scan- Ian, and Mr. Candy.

This was the excited comment of one Sophomore who had been admitted to Alphanea. Many more such comments can be heard around school any day. Alphanea is not old-fashioned. To prove this it elected a girl President over two boys. During the first semester Monica Kellaway piloted the organization. Interesting debate subjects were chosen and the debaters selected by Leonard Schweitzer, First Vice-President. Gilbert Quast kept the Alphanean bulletin board up to the minute. Lester Kurzon. Third Vice-President, helped to choose the new mem- bers of the club. The minutes were read by Lucile Benz. The pennies were received and doled out by Harris Stockland. The mixers were planned by Eugene Pappenheim. The Sergeant - at-Arms was Harold Klockow. At the programs the Alphs debated everything from long Mtinica Kellaway skirts vs. short skirts to the question of the city-manager plan being adopted by Mil- waukee. Orations and readings also formed a part of the programs. This year Alphanea took second place in the Intersociety Contest. On the Affirmative Team, debating in the auditorium, were Monica Kellaway, Ray Rice, Howard Schneider, cap- tain, and Harris Stockland. alternate. Uphold- ing the Negative in Assembly B were Lucile Benz, captain, Arline Rittcr. Robert La Crosse, and Ralph Fcingold. alternate. The readers were Marjorie Anspach and Rosemarie Henoch. The orators were Harvard Kaufman and Paul Siebert. The Alphanean orchestra played at many of the meetings. Majorie Ans- pach was the director. During the second semester Leonard Schweitzer wielded the gavel for Alphanea. and his ri g h t - h a n d man was Frederick Leech, First Vice- President. The Press Com- __ mittee was under the control of Lucile Benz Page One Hundred Forty-eight Top row. Second rov First row: M. SwL ' cnfV, H. Scr us!,. R. xMacArtbur, H. StockLind. J. Monroe.

Maxinc Plate had charge of getting new mem- bers as her job of Third Vice-President. Edith Urich was Secretary, and Alice Oehlert was Treasurer. Robert Neilson was Sergeant-at- Arms, and the Ambassador was Marjorie Anspach. Oftimes when Alphanea was meeting, shouts of laughter issued from Room 113. The cause of all this merriment was Richard Drakos giving some of his clever impersonations. At different meetings Richard impersonated Amos and Andy, Mike and Herman, and the Wiener Mastodon Show. Mr. Drakos is a very skill- ful and ingenious actor. The mixers spelled fun to any Alph amusement came in the form of games of all sorts, dancing to the melodious strains of the Alphanean Orchestra. and stunts by various members of the society. Delicious refresh- ments were always an impor- tant part of every mixer. How good those Eskimo pies and Leonard Schweitze The those little green cakes tasted around Saint Patrick ' s Day! From a social standpoint the year was a success for Alphanea. The society gives a little pin for excep- tional service rendered to the club. Those who were awarded pins in the February Class were Monica Kellaway, Lucile Benz, Gerry De Gelleke. Raymond Rice, and Ger- hardt Strauss. The critics for Alphanea were Miss Houghton, Miss Keuper. and Mr. Gettle. Mr, Birr was a critic for Alphanea until he left early in the first semester. Miss Houghton and Mr. Gettle had the debating in charge. Miss Keuper had charge of the readin g and orations. The purpose of the organiza- tion is to promote interest in debating, reading, and orating, and to make better public speak- ers of the boys and girls today. This ideal was carried out at every meeting. In this manner Alphanea passed a happy and proiitablt year. Edith Urich Page One Hundred Forty-nme Ii r-t: jr Top rou Holnu-s H Duras K Milbr.iih.

LINCOLN UNDER the able guidance of Richard Car- rigan during the first semester and Burt Zien the second, the Lincoln Literary Society made notable progress during the past year. Programs involved such debate questions as Federal Department of Aviation, the All-Year School Plan, and the World Court. Humorous debates and talks on current events were fea- tured. Music was offered at many of the meet- ings in the form of piano, vocal, violin, and banjo solos: variety was provided by the Boys ' Quartet and the Brass Quartet of our school band. The officers of Lincoln during semester one were Richard Carrigan. President: Burt Zien, First Vice-President: lona Zosel. Second Vice-President; LaVerne Snell- er. Secretary: Lauretta Porth. Treasurer: Hubert Will. Am- bassador: and Adolph Heffner. Sergeant-at-Arms. A new policy was introduced during this semester with grati- fying results. Helpful criti- cisms and an analysis by the judges of each speaker ' s weaknesses and good points followed every debate. These criticisms helped make better debates and better debaters. Lincoln ' s part in the Intersociety contest was an important one this year. This was the fourth triangular clash in which Lincoln had participated. Her readers and orators were victorious in three out of four cases — a very fine record. Lincoln ' s debaters won one judge ' s decision in both cases. The af- firmative team consisted of Richard Carri- gan. captain: Virginia Schauble. Norman Azpell. and Joseph Tussman. alternate. The negative was upheld by Eugene Posner. cap- tain: Burt Zien, Sara Stein, and Bernice Schroeder. alternate. The readers were Ha- zel Holle and Marguerite Wil- kowske. Tlie orators were Mer- ron Gill and James Pasch. The cheerleaders wore Jack Levy and lona Zosel. In January Lincoln lost through graduation the follow- ing members: Sara Stein.

The second semester found Lincoln just as busy as ever. This semester ' s active cabinet wa s composed of Burt Zien. President: Vir- ginia Schauble. First Vice-President: Hazel Holle. Second Vice-President: Richard Carri- gan. Secretary: Jessie Love, Treasurer: Eugene Posner, Ambassador: Jack Levy, Sergeant-at- Arms: and Hubert Will, Student Council Rep- resentative. Lincoln has every reason to be proud of its artists — Hazel Holle, Jack Levy, and Donald GuUickson. They have kept the bulletin board up to date with attractive posters for every oc- casion. Helen Duras has been Scroll reporter for the past two semesters. June graduation brought the loss of Norman Azpell, Lucille Bonness. Merton Gill. Bernard Hankin. Lucille Johnston, Gus- tave Mader. Marion Langen- kamp, Robert Milbrath. Lillie Burt Zion iMueller, James Pasch, Marguerite Wilkowske. Sylvia Reschenberg, Francis Schopen, Virginia Schauble. Jeanette Stromberg. Charlotte Zie- mer, and Burt Zien. Much as these capable seniors will be missed, the sophomores and juniors feel able to carry on the w ork of the society in the years to come and to maintain the ideals these graduating members have established. Each June. Lincoln awards honor pins to those senior members of most outstanding merit. The pins are in the form of gold numerals which are to be attached to the regular Lincoln pins. Thev are awarded on the basis of a point system which takes in- to account appearance on programs, service on committees or in office, par- ticipation in Intersociety con- tests, and loyalty to the club. The following gradu- ates of 19 30 were given the award: LaVerne Sneller. James Pasch. Lauretta Porth. Vir- ginia Schauble. Burt Zien. and Merton Gill.

Hab.ch PLAYERS THE Washington Players opened the year with a waiting Hst of such unprecedented length that tryouts for the second semester were unnecessary. This fact aroused enthusiasm and helped to make the year a highly suc- cessful one. Highlights of The Player year were the Christmas Play, the three one-act plays in January, and the Senior Class Play in May. In all this activity the helping hand of Mrs. Boundcy. a critic of the newly organized Junior Dramatic Society, was missed. The Christmas Play chosen this year was The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The cast for this play was very large, and everyone played his or her part beautifully. Richard Drakos gave a stellar performance as Scrooge and was very ably supported by Robert Thurwachtcr. Gerry Dc Gel- lecke, Pearl Zimmermann, and Harvard Kaufman. The February Seniors pre- sented three one-act plays as the Senior offering this year for the mid-vear term. H.irv.ird Kaufmnn The plays were The Travelers. Bargains In Cathay, and The Valiant. The first two were comedies and the last was a serious drama. In The Travelers the out- standing work was done by Lucile Benz, Willa Melius, and Robert Levine. In Bar- gains In Cathay the laurels went to Harriet Hirshorn, Harvard Kaufman, and Arthur Magidson. Vivian Fridell, Frederick Hug, and Kenneth Miller, were outstanding in The Valiant. The idea of three one-acts was new and was a huge success. The Washington Players was organized for the purpose of creating an opportunity for dramatic expression. During the past two semesters the Players have accomplished this purpose. The cabinet for the first se- mester consisted of Harvard Kaufman, President; Jane Last. Vice-President: Vivian Fridell. Secretary: Harriet Hirshorn. Treasurer: and Frank Habich. Sergeant-at-Arms. The cabinet for the second term was much Diirothyann Siny.ird Piige Onf Hundred Fifty-two A Thursday meeting Ac work on a Player announcement PLAYERS the same. Harriet Hirshorn and Vivian Fridell graduated, and Dorothy Jansen and Dorothy Ann Sinyard took their places. Supplementary to these public performances were regular Player meetings which were held once every two weeks on the auditorium stage. Some of the outstanding workshop plays were The Noble Lord, The Lost Silk Hat, Will O ' The Wisp, and The Brink of Silence. The goal of the workshop plays was intelligent criticism by Players on the various phases of acting as v. ' ell as good acting on the part of the characters in the plays. Proper carriage and character inter- pretation were some of the fundamentals emphasized. Several memorable meetings were devoted to impromptu plays in which the lines ._ were made up as the play advanced. These plays de- manded ingenuity and native wit. They also called forth gales of laughter from the spectators. Of course, the supreme of- fering of the Player year was the Senior Play. 7 he Rivals by Richard Sheridan, which was given on May 23 and 24. The play was chosen because of its num.erous charac- ters and the wonderful opportunity it offered for character interpretation. The parts which required the most difficult character interpretation were Sir Anthony Absolute, played by Richard Drakos. young Jack Abso- lute, played by Harvard Kaufman, and Mrs. Malaprop, played by Marjorie Fraser. Dor- othy Sinyard played the part of Lydia Lan- guish in the feminine lead. Lucy was played by La Vergne Cooke, Julia by Edith Urich, Faulkland by Burt Zien, Bob Acres by John Schlumberger, Sir Lucius O ' Trigger by Don- ald Taft. David by Robert -Vlilbrath. Fag by Howard Schneider. Thomas by Bernard Hankin. and Boy by Frank Habich. The play was a suc- cess from every standpoint. The Players were coached in ail their productions by Miss Inez Strohm.

JUNIOR DRAMATIC CLUB THE Junior Dramatic Club was organized to give the younger members of the school an opportunity to carry over from their junior high school work the interest already developed in dramatics and to supply early opportunity for them to take part in plays. The meetings were held on the stage on Thursdays, alternating with the Players. An effort was made to vary the programs and at the same time give every member a chance to appear in at least one program. At one of the meetings, the club was introduced to Mr. Mereen and the Stage Crew. Two meetings of the first semester were devoted to discussion of fundamentals by Mrs. Boundev and ex- tempore work in pantomime by the members. The plays produced during the first semester were The Re- hearsal. Appearances, The Pie and the Tart. Joint Owners in Spain, Where But in America, Overtones. and a play to which the English classes were invited — Spread- ing the News. Robert Kroncke The second semester began with a peppy mixer to get new members acquainted. Games were played and refreshments served, and every- one had a jolly good time. During the second semester the club was planning to do the following things: the trial scene from the Merchant of Venice was to be given: a puppet show by Miss Fisher was to be held: a skit to advertise the Washington High Handbook was planned: and a play — Gettys- burg — was to be given, The trial scene was given at an Auditorium meeting for the entire school with much success. The officers of the club for this year were Robert Kronke, President: Dorothy Miller, Vice-President: Marshall Munz. Secretary: Armin Kaiser. Treasurer: and Arthur Schaefer, Sergeant-at- Arms. Thus far the club has been running according to a few regulations: but at the end of the year a committee drew up a constitution. And so this club became a part of us, Marshall Munz Page One Hundred Fifty-seven :::T . ' !i ai HBiiiltl iilil- ' jlilliil R La Cossc. H. Blumenficld. VV. Kuglcr, J- McNally, M.

LATIN CLUB THREE years ago a society was organized in Washington among the Latin students to further the interest of such students in the subject by presenting at the club meetings in- teresting material that could not be presented in class due to lack of time and inadequacy of textbook material. It offers an intensive study of the language and of its living ef- fects, and it shows th e practical benefits de- rived from this study. The club has presented many interesting programs composed of Latin plays and short subjects. Roman atmosphere has been ac- cented by the singing of Latin songs as well as responding to the roll call in Latin. Famous Roman personages have not escaped the scrutiny of the aspiring students of the club for their lives have been ruthlessly dis- cussed at the meetings. Slides form an interesting part of at least one program each semes- ter. The members participated in mock trials and banquets after the manner of the Eusenc Posncr Romans. The December program of the club featured the Saturnalia, a festival of the Romans corresponding to our Christ- mas. Gifts were exchanged at this meeting. At one meeting by a rapid play of the imagination a student conducted the club through the Roman Forum. The programs are planned and executed by the students themselves under the direction of Mr. Gudwin Johnston, the faculty critic. The Latin Club meets every three weeks on Tuesday. The club was presided over last se- mester by Eugene Posner, Consul (President) Lester Kurzon, Aedile (First Vice-President) Jessie Loye, Censor (Second Vice-President) Earl Hoven, Quaestor (Treasurer); Merton Gill, Praetor (Secretary); and Harry Blumenfeld. Lictor (Ser- geant-at-Arms). The officers for this semester are Lester Kurzon, Consul; Helen Lieb- man, Aedile; Earl Hoven, Cen- sor; Jessie Loye, Quaestor; Mcredythe Miller, Praetor: and Jack Levy, Lictor.

' These and many other interesting questions were answered at the meetings of the Chemistry Club during the past year. These questions were answered by lectures, demonstrations, and movies at these fascinating meetings. Those who furnished us those interesting programs for the first semester were James Bartlett, President: Robert Sielaff, Vice-Presi- dent: and Mary Simandl. Secretary-Treasurer. The first meeting of the club in the first semester was devoted to the election of offi- cers. At the second meeting a demonstration on glass blowing was given by Mr. Beyer of the Milwaukee Glass Company. Later on in the semester Mr. Pestalozzi gave a demonstration on dyeing. Mr. Pestalozzi also gave a talk on radium during this semester. The cabinet of the second semester, which consisted of Lawrence Layman, President, John Alexander, Vice-Presi- dent: Kenneth Kurtz, Secretary- Janus iiartlcu Treasurer, continued these interesting programs. Professor Town of the University of Wis- consin Extension Division gave a talk on Crystals and Crystallization . A very inter- esting film was shown on the mining of salt. An illustr ated lecture was given by Keith Ap- pleby on illuminating gases. The critics of the club were Mr. Hasso Pes- talozzi and Mr. Joseph Boriff. The purpose of the club is to stimulate an interest in chemistry, and this purpose was shown at every meeting. The following is a typical program designed to increase inter- est in chemistry. Mr. Raymond Nichols of the Milwaukee Welding Works gave a descrip- tive talk and demonstration of the oxy- acetylene process and of the electric method of welding at the meeting on March 26. Mr. Nichols brought with him a one thousand dollar electric welding machine for his demon- stration and lecture. Programs rlM J ' ' ' l ' attended « r by the students.

President: Alger Burdick, Vice-President: and Robert En- gelhardt, Secretary-Treasurer guided the Physics Club through its first semester of success during this year of 1929 to 19 0. The purpose of the Physics Club is to promote an interest in physics and to make the students realize its importance in our daily lives. The club in- vited many prominent speakers to talk to them, and they also had many of their own members give talks on various phases of this fascinating subject. During the first semester the following talks were given. Reynolds l jensvold spoke on Radium. Mr. Kaiser of radio station WTMJ spoke to the club on Radio Broad- casting. The History of Physics was the topic of Mr. Losse ' s speech. Mr. Britt of the Milwaukee Gas Light Company talked about Coke and Gas. Tours through the Hamilton Metalplane Company, the West- inghouse Lamp Company, and the Milwaukee Coke and Gas Company were sponsored by the club during the first semester. Those who continued the work the second semester were Robert Engelhardt. President; Harold Tarkow. Vice-President: and Harold Goldberg. Secretary-Treasurer. During the first part of this semester Mr. Wheaton of the Vilter Manufacturing Company gave a talk on Refrigeration, and Mr. Drake demonstrated carbon-dioxide. The proposed tours were through the Vilter Man- ufacturing Company, the Wisconsin Theater sound apparatus, the Nordberg Company, the Falk Company, and the Journal. Proposed discussions were to be on coal-mines, movietone, adding-machincs, Diesel engines, and news- papers. A circulating library consist- ing of both fiction and non-fic- tion books was started. The librarian was George Kohlcr. Mr. Harvey Drake, a member of the Science Department, was critic of the club and led many interesting discussions.

' ' NATURE STUDY CLUB ONE of the most outstanding accomplish- ments of the Nature Study Club was the raising and banding of sixty-one ducks at its Juneau Park Bird Refuge. Clusters of bushes in which the birds built nests were placed at intervals along the edge of the lagoon. The ducks were wintered in the Washington Park pond, but with the coming of spring they were again transferred to the Juneau Park Bird Refuge. The b i - w c c k 1 y hikes, as well as the Christmas hikes, were largely attended and enjoyable. On the Christmas hike the club hired a truck and rode to Colgate, Wiscon- sin, where, after lunching at the farm of Gilbert S w a n t e s, the club hiked over the hills to Lake Amybelle. The members took recognition tests of birds and trees on these hikes. Much interest was manifested this spring in the early morning bird hikes in Washington Park. Mr. K. F. Miller, critic of the club, explained the habits and haunts of the wild birds found in the park. Lester Lehnherr, Vice-President, arranged some of the most interesting programs ever had. Student lectures, as well as a lecture on Wisconsin Indians by Mr. McKern of the Milwaukee Public Museum were of especial interest. A merit system was established during Everett Glenn ' s administration. This pro- vided for an acknowledgement of the services rendered by graduating members during their term of membership. Last semester the society was led by By- ron Haese. President: Everett Glenn. Vice- President: Alece Young, Secretary; and Wil- liam Miller, Sergeant-at-Arms. This semester the officers arc Everett Glenn, President: Lester Lehnherr, Vice-President: Nancy Brown, Secretary: John Eriksen, Treas- urer: George Wamboldt, Ser- geant-at-Arms. Through its interesting hikes the club has become one of the most popular in school.

Under the auspices of this club many parties and out- ings were arranged during the past year. The Senior Division gave a tea in honor of their mothers. The girls had a program in the auditorium and refreshments in the cafe- teria. They worked with the Salvation Army on Christmas charity work. They sponsored a series of lectures on vocational guidance by prominent women. The Junior Division had a Thanksgiving party and at Christmas did charity work by paying the milk bills of four poor families. In January the girls had a sleigh ride party and in the spring a picnic in Grant Park. The Sophomore Division produced a play. Six Cups of Chocolate . The girls had a dinner in the cafeteria at Thankgiving. They took care of four poor families at Christ- mas. In the second semester they held another play and in- After the play, tea was Anothc vited their mothers, served. The Hallowe ' en party in October drew a large attendance of girls, dressed as farmers and farmerettes. The Thanksgiving candy sale, the returns of which went to charity, was a huge success. In February, ' Washington ' s birthday was celebrated by a dance in the gym. The Springtime dance was the big social event of the Girls ' Club year. At this dance the girls were permitted to ask their boy friends. Every- one who attended had a delightful time. An- other big event of the year was the Honor Tea, to which all girls who had been on the Honor Roll at least three times were asked. The girls who were on three times in one semester were given a patch, and to those who had been on four times in a semester, a numeral was given. The tea was held in recognition of good scholarship. Thus the Girls ' Club of Washington High School con- cluded another year of fun and work, pleasure and profit. r parry Paye One Hundred Sixly-U GIRL 5 ' CLUE) «.-N ,5 = f THEY FURTilSWED HUaiC F-OD OUR.

During the September semester the club met several times as an entire group, but the most important social function during this semester was the Football Banquet. Many prominent men spoke at the affair, among whom were Mr. George Little, Athletic Director at the University of Wisconsin: Stony McGlynn, and our coaches. Several members of the team also spoke. Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of the club was the bringing of Bennie Oosterbaan to speak before the school during the morning convocation period. He gave a very interest- ing talk on How to Play the Game. During the second semester the club began and executed many projects, the most im- portant of which was the Vo- cational Guidance Banquet held on May 7th in the school cafeteria. Talks were given to Comrade-love is as a welding blast of candid flame and ardent temperature all the members of the club by men who were experts in their lines of work. After these talks, the entire group broke up into smaller sections to discuss the vocation in which they were most interested. The club held meetings of the different class groups after school. After these separate gatherings, the entire club met in the gyms for a social time. Refreshments were served at these meetings. The Senior officers for the first semester were Edward Errath. President; Paul Bringe, Vice- President: Charles Pctrie. Secretary: Robert Milbrath. Treasurer: and Robert Nielson. Ser- geant-at-Arms.

CAMERA CLUB THE Camera Club was organized last fall under the supervision of Mr. Donald K. Mereen by a number of pupils interested in photography. The main purposes of the club are to create an interest in photography and to give technical training in the operation of the camera and the finishing of pictures. The club will furnish an Annual Photo- graphic Stafl of six to eight members. This year the following were chosen: Karl Boe- decker, Hilda Wilbert. Burdette Brandt. Louise Grapenthin, Robert Heidel. Robert Mueller, and Merlin Griffith. Regular weekly meetings are held at which. during the past year. Mr. Donald K. Mereen, Mr, Hasso Pestalozzi. and some of the club members have given talks on topics bearing on the different types of photography, devel- oping and printing of pictures, the use and possibilities of the camera. In view of the ap- proaching school year the club plans to hear talks by some professional photographers. Karl Bocdccker According to a rule in the constitution of this organization, at least one hike a month must be given. These snapshot taking expeditions have been conducted to such places as Lake Park, Grant Park, and Doc- tor ' s Park, and they have given each student the opportunity to make and improve his own pictures. Any student in the school is eligible for membership in the society, if he has a camera or a kodak. The students, as well as the faculty critics, have shown a great deal of co-operation in its organization and in the carrying out of its policies. The camera hikes constitute a source of great popularity among the student members. The officers who have guided the organization in its initial year are Karl Boedecker, Pres- ident: Hilda Wilbert.

Froemming is to issue street trade licenses to boys who make formal application and who can comply with all requirements according to the Wisconsin Street Trades Law. It is further the purpose of the Street Trades Department to enforce the Street Trades Law. The newsboys came under the jurisdiction of the Street Trades Department. To make for greater efficiency the newsboys in schools are divided into groups under the supervision of principal and an appointed teacher. These groups are aided in their observance of the law through educational projects and the all -city Newsboys ' Re- public activity. Another phase of the supervisory work is in the visits w h i c h are made to the various corners, sta- tions, and other places where boys are employed to do street trades work. The re- sults of the inspections of each boy is recorded and is available at all t i m e s. Carbon copies are sent to the Milwaukee Police Department, which has co-operated most heartily with the Street Trades Depart- ment in carrying out the fulfilment of thj law for the welfare of the boys. The police officers especially help in keeping boys un- der seventeen from doing street trades work before 5:00 a. m.. and after 7:00 p. m.. and in keeping boys under twelve from do- ing any kind of street trades work at any time. When the Wisconsin State Legis- lature passed the Street Trades Law. the chief purpose was to protect chil- dren from labor conditions that would have a tendency to contribute to their physical, mental, and moral detriment and help create a social conscience which may be useful in their adult life and lays a foundation for a fine, clean and unselfish manlwod.

The Washing- ton High School News Boys ' Club is a club organized principally for newsboys: however, all the boys who are engaged in anv form of street trade or who have a legal street trade badge and permit may be members. In this last year the rule that all boys who have such permits must attend the meetings was rigidly enforced by Principal George Balzer. The meetings were held monthly in the audi- torium during the morning convocation period. Such meetings did much to promote better feel- ing and co-operation. A new policy of making subscription to the News Boys ' World compulsory was insti- tuted under the president cabi- net which consists of Edward Trappe. President: Henry Dc Boer. Vice-P resident: and Frederick Fehl, Secretary ■ Treasurer. The News Boys ' World was edited by Donald Raymore. The Republic Participation Award Contest totals ranked the Pur-Golders fifth during the first semester. However, the final totals were expected to rank the Pur- ple better because in the second semester the Hobby Show, the Personal Analysis Contest, and the Track and Stunt Meet which Wash- ington has won since 1927 took place. This year Washington did not. as usual, win the Winter Sports Frolic, but took second in the meet. Washington has won this meet for the past five years. Emphasis during the meetings was placed on the filling out of character analysis guide charts which were sent out by the Street Trades Department and reports of these questionnaires which were given. The club numbers one hun- dred thirty-nine. Mr. Charles White was the critic of the club from September to February, at hich time he was replaced by Miss Ida Kuchnast. Thus the News Boys ' Club passed a very successful, profit- able, and pleasant year. Page One Hundred Si. lu-ieven - J !

The theme and dedication, first of all. were puzzled over and tested for their merits by the faculty critics, by Jane Last, Editor- in-Chief, by Roger Schulz, Art Editor, and by Harold Kief, Associate Editor. The happy decision was reached: the theme, America the Beautiful. and the dedication to the fath- ers and mothers met with approval of staff and critics. Throughout the book uniformity in page make-up, both as to headings and the length of articles has been the primary aim. Color in The Annual became the by-word of the art department: and Roger Schulz. with the help of Alece Young and William Ewig, as- sistants, and the guidance of Miss Lorraine Pollworth, facul- ty critic, have filled the book with appealing, colorful art. Variety of departmental write-ups in feature style was Jane L.isc the keynote of the literary staff of which Eve- lyn Wasserman was Editor and Lucille John- ston, assistant. School extra-curricular ac- tivities were handled by Grace Schaefcr. Or- ganization Editor. Miss Leila Rosenfeld was faculty critic. Marie Petrie and Marcella Wilkomm were responsible for write-ups of the February ' 30 and June ' 30 classes, respectively. Panel work for these classes was done by Jeanette Schieffer. Editor, and Doris Gronert, Assistant, The important task of tickling the funny bone of the student body was undertaken very ably by Lillie Eorman, to whom Alice Oehlert and Robert Wiklc lent their humorous ca- pacities. Andrew Hensel, Cartoon Editor, and Gordon Rietveld. who assisted him. became insepar- able over the absorbing labor of illustrating the year book. A big undertaking — that of reproducing both boys ' and girls ' athletic activities — was discharged by James Schwa! - bach.

This de- partment was under the supervision of Mr. Eldon Schneller. Photographs necessarily go hand in hand with illustrated sports, and Mr. Donald Mereen ' s photograph staff, headed by Hilda Wilbert. and re-inforced by the members of the Camera Club, have left an indelible distribution of appropriate snapshots throughout the various sections of The Annual. Very efficient work in copy, rapidly and ac- curately set up. was done by Jeanette Haber- man and Lorraine Hoppe. The enormous task of proof-reading was done by Florence Pautsch, Proof Editor, and Lvdia and Gertrude Harder, assistants. Thus the literary depart- ment of The Annual performed its functions, but at no time was it alone in its efforts. Pre- ceding the subscription drive an extensive advertising cam- paign was put into effect by Wallace M o r i t z. Publicity Manager; and through the bus- Gustavc jMenzcl Barkow mess department, under Mr. Lillard Culver and Mr. Guy Bannister, the practical end of The Annual, was achieved. Gustav Menzel was business manager. Now that the end has been reached, and the book — a reality — is actually in the hands of the students, for whom it was created, the en- tire Scroll 1930 Annual Staff, with one voice, wishes to express its gratitude to the student body of Washington for its co-operation and faith in the making of the book. To the facul- ty committee. Mr. Lillard Culver, chairman, whose strong capable hand guided us over the troublesome places: to Miss Leila Rosenfeld. for her kindly understanding and invaluable co- operation: to Mr. Schneller. Miss Lorraine Poll- worth. Mr. Guy Bannister, and Mr. Donald Mereen, for their inestimable service in each of their departments, the staff can think of no adequate verbal ex- pression of that distinctive com- radeship that the making of The Scroll 1930 Annual, a common bond, has created.

SCROLL BI-WEEKLY BACK in 1920. the first Scroll Bi-Weckly emerged in newspaper form with Helen Baldauf as its first editor-in-chief, and Miss Van Vliet and Vliss Healy as critics. Ten years have passed and today The Scroll still holds high the banner of accurate, clean journalism. Under the guidance of Ralph Kuhli, the first semester, and David Velie, the second semester, the paper won a first-class honor rating in the 1929-30 National Scholastic Press Association. Ralph Kuhli had as his board these editors: News. Ray Rice: Sport. Milton Begel: Humor, Helen Duras: Headline, David Velie: Feature. Alice Haeger: Organization, Elizabeth Schloe- gel: Beat, Donna Greenblatt: Publicity. Elmer Meyer: Literary, Donald Taft: Proof, Ruth Laubenheimer: Typing. Lor- raine Mueller. The second se- mester David Velie appointed to vacancies Sherman Baker in the beat department. Walter Ott in publicity. Janeholly Peters as literary editor, and Merton Gill as headline editor. Donald Taft was shifted to the feature Ralph Kuhli editorship and Elmer Meyer to the news, while Jeannette Stromberg became proof editor. Charles Merten was put in charge of a new de- partment for cuts. Preparing copy for the printer was efficiently handled by a typing staff, headed by Marion Langenkamp. This year ' s stafl has missed Miss Hazel Healy. who is on a year ' s leave of absence, teaching in Mont Claire. New Jersey. Miss Florence Van Vliet and Miss Gerda Wittman divided her work. Miss Wittman has had charge of the sport, organization, and beat de- partments: Miss Rose Helen Hauer of the fea- ture and literary page: Miss lima Zinns of the proof-reading department: and Miss Van Vl iet of news, humor, the newswriting class, board and staff meetings, headline, and page make-up.

SCROLL BI-WEEKLY feature by Marion Hoffman, and a headline by Helen Duras won first places in the North Central District. Next semester the standard of The Scroll will be carried forward by W ' alter Ott. who defeated Helen Duras and Charles Merten in the annual student election for editor-in-chief. April 28. Co-operation between the business and the literary departments has been stressed with visible improvement. Mr. Guy Bannister has been business critic, while Mr. Charles Holbrook supervised the advertising activi- ties. Harriet Strauss. Advertising Manager. was capably assisted by Lorraine Mueller. whose work in that capacity was excep- tional. Ruth Templeman, in the position of Head Book- keeper, and Lucille Johnston. Treasurer, discharged their many duties with commend- able efficiency. Work of circulation was given to Donald Kozoll. when Gustav Menzel. former manager, took David Velie over the circulation department of The Annual. An innovation on The Scroll business staff this year was the creation of the office of statement clerk, held by Marguerite Miller. The position requires sending statements to Scroll advertisers after every four issues, instead of after every issue, the former policy. Definite progressive strides have been taken by the Bi-W eekly during the current year. The plan of future books which will give each editor ' s successor advice concerning the work and the benefit of the present incumbent ' s experiences, has been carried out more ef- fectively each semester. Increased efficiency in the organization of the cut department and Hon- or Roll collection has been an- other concern. A visible effort has been made to give each board member the opportunity to develop sane judgment and real leadership b y an increased power to check or inspire the group of younger reporters im- mediately responsible to him.

What is that ' question is on the Hps of many stu i ' when the candidates for membership are nounced. Quill and Scroll is the Int ' tional Honor Society for journalists, society, which was organized at Iowa April 10, 1926, recently became internationa when chapters were formed at McKinley High School in Liverpool and Sidney, Aus- tralia. There is also a chapter in Honolulu. At present the society numbers 8000 of the United States ' s best young journalists. To win election is a distinguished honor because the society is composed of excellent journalists from all over the world. Requirements for membership are extremely difficult. These at- tributes include high scholar- ship, leadership, and outstand- ing ability. A member must excel in writing, editing, or managing the paper of his school. Several new members were elected last January. They in- cluded Evelyn Wasserman. Velie. Elizabeth Schloegel, Ruth Tem- eman, Jeanette Stromberg, Donna Greenblatt, ilton Begel, and Merton Gill. Miss Wasser- n. Miss Schloegel, Miss Greenblatt. Mr. el, and Mr. Velie, were on the Literary Staff. Miss Templemen and Miss Stromberg were the Business Staff. Old members of Quill and Scroll were Alice Haeger and Hedwig Meix- ner. The new members were initiated at a ban- quet given in the school cafeteria on January 9. The officers of the Washington High Chap- ter for the past two semesters were Jeanette Stromberg, President, and Evelyn Wasserman, Secretary. The members elected in June were Sher- man Baker. William Ewig. Lucille Johnston, Harold Kief, Georgia Knight, Katherinc Koch, Jane Last. Lor- raine Mueller. Walter Ott, Jane- holly Peters, Grace Schaefer, Jeanette Schieffer, and Donald Taft. This makes a total of 2 1 members elected this year, and Washington should feel proud of this achievement. Jeant ' tte Stromberg Evelyn Wasserman Page One Hundred Seventu-four a iTimici !

Pufc One Hundred Seventy-iix rxTSiii COACH BLACKBOURN CAPTAIN SCHILLER A FRIEND to every boy in school — that ' s Coach Blackbourn. Disciplining rigid- ly, advising kindly, instructing patiently he has developed in the boys coming under his train- ing a sense of fair play and sound judgment that have shown themselves beyond the limits of the gridiron. Coach ' s record during his five years at Wash- ington has been a creditable and consistent one. Losing valuable material each year through graduation, he always built up a team that fig- ured as a staunch contender for the city cham- pionship. Coach has provided training for a still larger group of boys by conducting wrestling and box- ing during winter months. His wrestlers have made good showing in national competi- tion. ' Liz ' Blackbourn is a person who works and plays with all his heart and soul, and I am glad to have come into con- tact with that sort of man for coach and friend, states Bobbv Schiller. Playing because he liked the game. Bobby Schiller made a real record in high-school foot- ball. For four years he was a member of the first team and won all-city recognition for three successive years. Bob was. first of all. a team man. Although he has many spectacular plays to his credit, he will always be remembered for his consistent ground gaining by punts, line plunges, and ofT- tackle smashes. He scored not only on the football field but also in the classroom. His scholarship and leadership brought him election to the National Honor Society and the ' W Club Award for 1929. Bob ' s modesty in the face of praise, his clean living, and his loyalty have been a n inspiration t o all who have been associated with him on t h e gridiron, Coach Blackbourn states. His influ- ence will continue to be felt for years: and I. personally, am proud to have been his coach.

In the Bay View and Lincoln games the team was at its best, displaying strong defense and brilliant offense. The Tech game was probably the greatest offensive game of the sea- son. In the North game the team displayed good form in spite of the wet condition of the field. Against South and West our boys were decidedly off color. All in all the season was a successful one. filled with unusually keen com- petition. The main cogs in the machine were Bob Schiller, veteran quarterback, whose experience helped to build a strong team; Johnny Resch- lein. expert at the art of catching long passes; Bob Neu- bauer. good at cut- ting down his op- ponents and kicking long punts; Milton Trost. our all-city tackle with a brigh: future; Milton Begel. the hard plunging fullback who gained yards on all occa- Sept. 15 Alumni 6 Washington Sept. 22 Washington 6 St. Catherine . 6 Sept. 29 Washington n North 2 Oct. 5 Washington 15 Country Day Oct. 12 Washington Lincoln , Oct. 19 South 19 Washington Nov. 2 Washington 22 Bay View Nov. 16 Washington 12 West .

Besides these play- ers, others who were on the first squad included Harold Hallstrand, Wenzel Kehoss, Tom Leech, Tom Korb, Roger Ellingson, Harvey Leiser, Frank Schacht, and Wally Cruice.

In the opening game the Wildcats, a neigh- borhood team, won by a score of 13-6. In a return game, the Sophs were defeated 12-0. The n ext game was lost by a score of 19-0 to the Blackhawks. Marquette High team de- feated the Sophs 12-0. In a closely contested battle, the St. Thomas alumni won 7-0. The Cream City Caskets, in the last game of the season, defeated the Sophomores by a score of 6-0. The team developed good defensive play as was shown by the comparatively low scores against them. The lembers of the team were P. Masek. P. Knispek, W. Weber, J. Lewis. J. Sher. M. Strom- berg. F. Bard. G. Kohler. K. Prather. H. Major. W. Bell. L. Christian- sen. A. Vogt, M. Schwartz, and N, Krueger. The Second Team, coached by Mr. Ewers, again kept its record clear. They played six games and offered competition to the first team throughout the season. A scoreless tie with North Division reserves was the result of the first game. The Shore- wood team was defeated 7-0, and the Wauwa- tosa reserves by a score of 14-0. At Port Washington, the Port Washington first team was beaten 12-0. The West Allis team, although defeated 12-6, were first to score against the seconds in two years. At Delafield the St. John ' s Military Academy lightweight team was crushed 12-0. The team consisted of J. Schmidt. Captain. M. Reif. D. Wandry. R. Renzel. K, Moberg. P. Durbrow. A. Le Grand, R.

Under ideal weath- er conditions, an enthusiastic and eager crowd gathered at the Auer Avenue field where they saw a Washington team that lacked punch humbled by an extremely alert Cardinal ma- chine, 19-0. South had a well-balanced team, for it was a combination of weight and speed. Because of Washington ' s startling performance against Lincoln the week before, everyone had looked forward to a close game. Our team was far below par, and the backs were especially weak in blocking and tackling. The entire team seemed to lack the necesarry pep and fight. Only once did Washington wake up, when they started on their own 30 yard line and pushed the ball to South ' s 20 yard line, where they lost the ball. South did not use its most dangerous weapon, the pass at- tack, while Washing- ton ' s aerial attempts proved fatal, P r i e g e 1, South, thrilled the crowds with sensational punts averaging 40 yards, while one of them soared 70. Rubow, South, took the ball after the kickofT on the first play of the second half and ran 80 yards for the third touchdown. Here again the secondary defense seemed to have been sleeping. The first score came in the first quarter when Sanger intercepted a Pur-Gold pass and ran to the 20 yard line. Four line plunges put the ball over for South Their second touchdown re- sulted from a 27 yard run by Rubow. Both teams used simple power plays. They forced the ball ahead by mere push. It was what you might call mass attack. Milton Trost and Art Mueller did the outstanding work for the Pur-Golders. Coach Blackbourn summed up the game when he said, The team was licked by itself because they did not show the proper amount of spirit. They seemed unable to get going. The backs as a whole were slow in getting oft their marks. Puiif One Hundred EighluliOo i Neubaucr A perfect place-kick Kramer BAY VIEW A BRIGHT sun shining, warm, clear air, and a cloudless sky — such was the Bay View game. This game might be called the sea- son ' s most successful as far as weather and score were concerned. The game was played at the city stadium, and Washington defeated the Viewites, 22-0. The Pur-Golders were in top- notch condition, and the entire line showed excellent form. The game put Washington in third place in the race for the city championship. Because of Washington ' s almost perfect offense and defense. its goal was in no danger at any time throughout the game. It was the season ' s best defensive tilt. The first touchdown resulted from a short punt by Dobner of Bay View. Washington got the ball on Bay View ' s 30 yard line, after which Wagen and Schiller carried it to the 10 yard strip, and a touchdown followed. Rcschlein ' s kick for the extra point was successful. Then came the spec- tacular plays of the day. Immediately after the kickoff . Schiller took the ball on his own 45 yard line and ran 55 yards for the second score. In the third quarter. Bob Neubauer kicked a beautiful punt that soared 70 yards to Bay View ' s one yard line. After holding Bay View for four downs. Washington received the ball. Then Reschlein booted a nice place-kick for a field goal. This is a play seldom used among high- school teams, and much credit goes to Johnny. A fumble by the Viewites, recovered by Roth- stein, started the Pur-Golders on another march down the field to their third touchdown. Although the tremendous drive and leader- ship of Captain Schiller and aggressiveness of Wagen, his running mate, contributed largely to Washington ' s decisive victory, the entire team played excellent foot- ball. Other players who had a lot to do with the outcome of the game were John- ny Reschlein, Bob Neubauer, and Earl Rothstein. It was a wonder- ful day, a wonderful game, a wonderful score, and a wonder- ful crowd.

Ma ' s and Pa ' s, chrysanthemums, alumni, and general whoopee making — that was the West game, our Homecoming. The game was played at the Auer Avenue field, and Washington brought home another victory. 12-0. The weather was just ordinary — not bad and not good. On the Friday morning before the game the usual pep meeting was staged. The features of the program were talks by several old grads and a Ma and a Pa. The Washington Players pre- sented a novel skit representing the students traveling to the game on the Toonervillc Trolley. They gave a demonstration of some real yelling that shamed the rest of the school. But as to the game itself. The Pur- Golders opened the game with a rush and made their first score in the first ten min- ,,r-_ _ _ _„ utes. Begel started j. - ' w ' -i ™ :- ' the ball rolling when he returned the kick- off 45 yards. Then a series of off-tackle plays brought the ball to the 14 vard line where Bobby Schiller took it and went over for the score. The try for the extra point failed. Between the halves, a comic band and a clown football team performed, much to the amusement of the spectators. The Washington band paraded about the field and then formed a W . The cheerleaders of past years came down from the stands and led the merry makers in a couple of yells. In the second half. Anderson ran twenty yards with the ball. Then Schiller passed to Reschlein, who was downed on the three yard lino. From there Schiller took the ball over. Reschlein ' s kick for the extra point was good, but it was not counted because of holding. Although the team did not measure up to standard, many of the fellows played outstanding football. Lloyd Anderson was probably re- sponsible for most of the gains. Resch- lein. T r o s t, and Frankenstein also did outstanding work. Page One Hundred Eiqhtu-lour Wagen A mass attack Rcschloin TECH IT was a cold, windy day when Tech and Washington met at the Marquette Univer- sity stadium to play before the largest crowd m the history of high-school football in Milwau- kee. The large stadium was almost entirely filled with cheering spectators who came to see four high-powered teams determine their places in the city championship race. Our game, which preceded the great Lincoln- South championship tilt, resulted in a 19-1.2 victory for Tech, won by their highly success- ful air attack. Throughout the entire game Washington was the stronger team, but Tech ' s curious air in- vasion stopped them. It was Washington ' s best offensive game of the season. Several times Washington w a s marching down the field headed for a touchdown when somebody fumbled. and Tech recovered. Then a fast calling of signals and the ball shot into the air to rest in the hands of some kneeling Tech gridder for a nice gain. Washington caught Tech napping and shot two touchdowns over the line before the Boiler- makers knew what it was all about. Both came after Schiller, Anderson, and Begel had put the ball close to the line. Showing perfect co-opera- tion, the line split Tech apart and Schiller went over with ease. The score stood 12-0. and Washingtonians thought the game was theirs. Then came the surprise. Tech woke up and shot ball after ball into the air. It was not long before they had scored three touchdowns and one extra point making the final score 19-12. Several Pur-Golders played exceptionally well. Among them were Woodrow Nold. Milton Begel. Bob Schiller. John Eriksen. and Bob Neubauer. Coach Blackbourn commented that al- though he would have liked to see the boys win, he thought they played their best. And so closed the 1929 football season, and it might be con- sidered one of the best we ever had. Page One Hundred Eighty-five ILI - , ' ,i„: ' l Tiefenthaler Are you with us!

An oration, we have learned, must have a noble theme and be given on a great occasion. Then surely we are justi- fied in calling our cheerleaders orators because the oration they delivered had that noble theme, The School Spirit of Washington High, and was delivered on those great occa- sions when our team was out on the field fight- ing for us. The initiative of Jim Schaefer, Bernadine Tiefenthaler, Russell Zalusky. and Maud Anderson was shown in the revision of the old cheers and the introduction of new ones.

In the tense moments they were there to put the feelings of hope, anxiety, and confi- dence into some lusty cheers that often pushed our team to victory. We must not forget, however, that the en- tire student body did their share in expressing the spirit of Washington High by putting all the cheers across and giving the support neces- sary in effective cheering. As our thoughts turn back in reminiscence to the games of 1929, we see Jimmy Schaefer waving his arms, and we hear the strains of Washington, down the field, never yield, raise high our shield: fight on to victory for Wash- ington.

Page One Hundred Eiqhly -eight EDWARD ERRATH COACH MEYER IN his cheerful, yet serious manner. Eddie Errath. Washington ' s speedy sprinter, led the 19 30 Track Squad through another highly successful season. Eddie, an extraordinary leader of athletes, was an inspiration and ideal to every boy out for track. A few words from him would make a contestant do better than his best, in order to place and his few wise words of advice after a race helped many an athlete. Eddie was out for track for four years, and for three years was a member of the cross- country squad. He was at all times a hard worker. Often one would see him running tire- some miles, two miles, and even cross-country in order to develop endurance for his sprints. His mar ' eIous sprint ing abilities were a great asset to the team. He was a sure point winner in both the 100 and 220- yard dashes, and be- came state champion in both. He was instrumental in the placing of several re- lay teams. AN athlete among athletes — that ' s Coach . Meyer. He seems to understan d and know every boy on the team, and is a friend to all. He has a pleasing and quiet way of making every trackman do his best to come through. Coach seems to have the power of know- ing just what each boy is capable of doing. He places them in the right events with un- canny skill. Every year he has entered squads that have been serious threats to all opponents. Several of his boys have established records that still stand. But graduating athletes will remember not only his skill in manipulating a track squad. Underneath his quiet ways is a heart that is open to the cares and troubles of every boy in school — a heart that knows, under- stands boys, and sym- pathizes with them. Coach Meyer, friend and adviser to all. will be the fond memory that many athletes will carry away with them to other fields.

Meets were also held with South and Bay View. Ross Page One Hundred Ninety sgt . i i ' ' ' ■■ ' Jii Schmidt 880-v ird relay Wendt SQUAD WASHINGTON tracksters started the 1930 season with a dismal outlook, but soon the dark clouds cleared, and the bright side of the situation showed itself. The only star performer left from the 1929 team was Eddie Errath. He came back holding the state championship in both the 100 and 220-yard dashes. The other emblem men remaining were Jerry Wendt, Milton Trost, and Irv Kowalsky. Around these four men Coach built up a strong 1930 machine. In the mile Art Saf- fert, state champion of 1929, was successfully replaced by James Schwalbach. In the 880 Don Ross. George Nauert, Gilbert Deakin. and Al Caldwell were the fastest men. Most of the long distance men were members of the Polar Bear Club , famous for running throughout the winter in all kinds of weathci. The hurdles suf- fered a severe blow when Armin Braun and Chet Trost grad- uated in 1929: nev- ertheless, Tom Leech, Marshall Benedum, Herman Henkel, and Harvey Goegeline Sengpiel helped support the Pur-Golders in that event. Ned Sengpiel. Wally Cruice. Herman Henkel, and John Loeber came through in the dashes. Sengpiel. only a sopihomore. has a very bright future ahead of him. In the field events Milt Trost was the out- standing performer in the shotput. He also helped in the discus and broad jump. Others who were fairly successful were Koenig and Schmidt, high jump: Begel and Ashmore. pole vault: Caldwell and Eriksen. broad jump: Bar- low and Eriksen. shotput: Leech, javelin: and Eriksen and Begel. discus.

Loeber Page One Hundred Ntnety-one jji Caldwell Distance medley relay Cruice MIDWEST RELAYS BREAKING one record and placing in two more relays, the 1930 Track Team started off the season at the Midwest Relays at Madi- son on April 26. The team went to the meet in a bus and were accompanied by Mr. Ericson. Coach Meyer, and Gene Arcnson, Manager. Art Mueller in the quarter. Gilbert Dcakin running the half mile, Don Ross the three quarters, and Jim Schwalbach, the mile were the members of a distance medley team which broke the existing record by six seconds. The record was 1 1 minutes and 19.5 seconds: Wash- ington covered the distance in 1 1 minutes and 13 seconds. Yet they placed only third, for the race was won in the very fast time of 1 1 minutes and 2.2 seconds. Eddie Errath, Irv Kowalsky, Walter Cruice, and Jerry Wendt placed second in the mile relay and fourth in the half mile. In the mile re- lay they won their heat with ease, but on a time comparison they lost first place by the slim margin of three seconds. Mueller In the two mile relay Donald Raymorc. George Nauert, Hubert Leland. and Sid Sinar made up the team. All of them ran good half miles but the competition was too stiff. Er- rath. Wendt. Kowalsky. and N. Sengpiel were the members of a quarter mile relay team that was edged out of fourth place by the mere margin of one tenth of a second. Ned Seng- piel. the speedy sophomore sprinter, started off this race and gave the boys a good lead. In the sprint medley. Locber and Henkel ran 220 yards apiece. Wally Jensen a 440. and Al Caldwell the half mile. Al ran an exceptionally good race. When he received the baton, he was some distance behind: nevertheless, when he finished he had gained so much on his man that he al- most won that heat. Milton Schmidt was entered in the high jump, and Milton Trost in the shotput. but neither of them placed. The weather was ideal — the sun shin- ing, and no wind. Stockland Page One Hundred Nincly-two Errach 100-yard dash MARQUETTE RELAYS EDDIE ERRATH and the distance medley team were the only ones to place at the Marquette Relays held at the Marquette Stadi- um on May 3. It was an ideal day — sun shin- ing, hardly any wind — and it v asn ' t too hot: consequently, fourteen records were broken by the 1000 athletes representing 70 schools. One of the novel features of the meet was the in- stallation of several huge amplifiers in different parts of the stadium. Eddie Errath was the only individual Coach Meyer entered in any of the special events. He placed second in the 100-yard dash. The distance medley team, composed of Caldwell. Deakin. Ross, and Schwalbach. placed second in their event. They covered the distance in the winners making it in I 1 min. and 20.1 sec Both broke the old record of 1 1 min. and 39 sec. In the half-mile relay a team com- posed of Loeber, Sengpiel. C r u i c e. and Errath won their heat in 1 min. and 34.6 sec. 1 1 min. and 24 sec. Hor.kcl but the winners ' time was 1 min. and 31.9 sec, breaking the old record of 1 min., 33.4 sec. Sengpiel. Wendt, Loeber. and Henkel were the members of a 440-yard relay that also ran against record breaking time. Their time was 46 sec. while the winners ran it in 44 sec. breaking the old record of 45.4 sec. with ease. In the mile relay, each man running 440 yards. Washington again failed to place.

The season was highly successful, and the team could rightfully have called themselves the champions of the city, if not the state. The team defeated Bay View, 7-22: West, 46-97: North, 25-62: South, 26-29: and lost to Manitowoc. 32-23. In the State Meet. Washington copped second with 5 1 points, los- ing to Manitowoc by eight points. James Schwalbach, who led the race for the first 1 ' 4 miles, came in fifth. Hiemke and Anderson also placed in the first ten. The time for the State Meet was 1 1 minutes and 30 seconds which broke the old record held by Art Saffert. by over 46 seconds. In the Turkey Day Race, Schwalbach came in first and won the turkey. The oth- ers who finished were Hiemke. Anderson, Nauert. Leland, Ray more, Senner. Krueg- er, Sinar. Grethcr, Arenson, Euch, and Thicrfelder. Thicr- felder, who copped last place, was presented with a juicy lemon. The prizes were donated by merchants in the vicinity of the school. This year, the turnout was the smallest that Washington has had for a long time. There were only 1 5 out for the s quad. James Schwal- bach. Captain, was the outstanding runner of the team: nevertheless, there were times when he failed to run up to his usual form. Fritz Hiem- ke was the most dependable runner of the entire team, running consistently good races through- out the entire season. The other members of the team were Milt Anderson, George Nauert. and Donald Ross. Maurice Van Engel was manager. Cross-country, coming in the fall, is a sport open to every boy at Washington. It offers something for boys who cannot go out for football. It is a well-known fact that any boy can become a long distance runner. Cross - country run- ners are made, not born. Coach Meyer states that cross-country is the best body builder he knows of. Page One Hundred Nmely-six .iaillllllllllllillltl! ! ' !! M11IIJII liMv. iv: [..-.■khamer. Knispck, Harrington.

The wrestling tournament managed by Coach Blackbourn was a decided success. It covered a period of over two months, with over one hundred boys par- ticipating. The boys who took part in the tourney, even though they were not all crowned champions, gained some real knowledge in the art of wrestling before they were eliminated. The practice preparatory to the elimination matches was of benefit to all the boys. The matches lasted only about two and one-half weeks after they got under way. but much time was spent in training. The rule followed was that any boy defeated twice was elimi- nated. T h e champions and their respective divisions are as fol- lows: Victor Lud- wig, 108 pound class; James Book- hamer. 115 pound class: William Horder. 125 pound class; Peter Knis- pek, 13 5 pound class: Lloyd Ander- son, 145 pound class: Milton Begel, 155 pound class: John Eriksen, 175 pound class: Wood- row Nold, heavyweight division. After the champions were decided, a wrestling team was developed which entered the National Indoor Meet at Evanston, and a dual meet with West Milwaukee, as well as displaying some holds at the Physical Education Exposition. At the Northwestern Meet, all of our wrest- lers were eliminated in the first round. The boys, however, fought hard before they were defeated, and not one of them was defeated easily. The members who went to North- western were Victor Ludwig, Peter Knispek, Lloyd Anderson, and Milton Begel. In the dual meet with West Milwaukee the team had quite an easy time of it be- cause of their ex- perience. In every class our grapplers won their matches by falls. West Mil- waukee had no en- trants in the 155. 165, or 175 pound classes. Page One Hundred Nmely-seven Van Engcl. Gorcnstein. Ncubauer. Virgin. Crawford, Wcgncr, Lciscr. Ulevich. Laur. BASKETBALL THE basketball tourney created a wide in- terest among the boys, especially those who did not participate in football and track. There were over one hundred and fifty boys compet- ing, the largest number that has ever turned out for basketball or any other sport in which a team representative of the school is chosen. Coach Meyer conducted the tourney. There was such a large number of boys com- peting that it was necessary to form two leagues, the Roman and the Arabic. There were ten teams in each league with seven players on each team. The tourney was run on an elimination basis: any team losing two games was elim- inated. The competition covered a period of two weeks and some hotly contested games were played. The championship in the Roman league was won by Bob Neubauer ' s team, which defeated Schmidt ' s team in the finals. 19-6. Neubauer ' s team had the advantage in shooting, but the floor work was re- markably even. The members of the winning team were Bob Neubauer. captain, Gilbert Laur, Walter Cruice, Les Gorenstein, Maurice Van Engel. and Russell Wegner. The defeated team was composed of Earl Schmidt, captain. Leslie An- derson. Preston Durbrow, Milton Schmidt, Kenneth Sharp, and Alfred Thurner. The Arabic league championship was won by Harvey Leiser ' s team by defeating Ray Gog- gins ' team in a close game. The winners were Harvey Leiser. captain. Bob Crawford. Milton Ulevich. Earl Eggert. Henry Virgin, and Earl Bailie. The losin g team consisted of Ray Gog- gins, captain, Alois Stein, Harold Giesecke, Her- bert Fink, Henry Moior. and Ray Lewis. The games, which were played in the girls ' gymnasium with the exception of the final games played in the boys ' , gym and for which there was a ten cents ad- mission charge, were rcfereed by Ray Taibl, Maurice Van Engel, John Reschlein, Harvey Leiser, and Tom Leech.

SKATING AND BOXING OUR skating team took a large number of victories this year. In all of the meets the team made a good showing. They did especially well in the City and State Meets. The members of the team were Harvey Goegeline. Irv Kowalsky, Fred Portlancc, Bob Dunlop. John Spiegelhoff, and Roland Moedc. Harvey Goegeline was the outstanding skater on the team. He had consistent vic- tories in the 220. 440, and mile events. Al- though Harvey was the most consistent win- ner on the team, he was ably backed by Irv Kowalsky. Bob Dunlop. and John Spiegelhoff. These boys placed in various meets, and along with Goegeline brought many victories to our school. Washington ' s team copped third in the State High- School Meet, with most of the scoring being done by Goegeline. The team, placed well in the Oconomowoc, Shore- wood, and City Meet. Three boys of this year ' s team will re- turn, assuring a strong team for next year. The boxing tournament, which is a new sort of program sponsored by Coach Blackbourn. was a great success. There was much interest created over the matches. All of the bouts were well attended. There were more than sixty boys that participated. Two weeks of training pre- ceded the actual matches, which also lasted two weeks. The matches resulted in the following boys being chosen as champions: John Schleif. 9 5 pound class; Ralph Schmitz. 105 pound class; Conrad Schneider and Charles Welitzkin, co- holders in the 1 15 pound class; Harold Strasse. 125 pound class: Tom Leech and Jack Gregg, co-holders in the 13 5 pound class: Elroy Bunt- rock. 145 pound class; Tom Korb, 155 pound class: Bob Neubauer. 165 pound class: and D e 1 b e r t Wandry. 1 75 pound class. All of the bouts were refereed by Ben Mosel with the ex- ception of the finals, which Coach Black- bourn refereed. Paae One Hundred Ninety-nine II Jul i Nieman Cutler. Kehr. Armbruster, Huppcrt.

They defeated Tech, 33-22: Marquette. 11-44: West. 25-30: Marquette. 19-36: South. 45-10; West, 19-27: and Cudahy. 15-40. They were defeated by North. 27-28: Tech. 35-20; and West Allis. 21-31. A team was entered also in the National Contest at Evanston but nobody placed, llie team entered the City Meet for May 15. the State Meet for May 23. and planned to meet Sheboygan at Sheboygan. This year ' s swimming season was one of the most active and successful in the history of Washington. Swimming, a comparatively new sport at Washington, aroused surprising en- thusiasm. Gordon Arm- bruster, Roland Bier- sach, Hugh Cutler. Bill Nieman, Bill Miller, Don Taft, and John Clauder were the members of the 1930 squad who were left from the 1929 season. Around these men Coach Derrwaldt built up a team that put swimming into the limelight. In the 100-yard back stroke Gordon Armbruster. Hugh Cutler. Milton Griesberg. Bruce Brewer, and Charles Hyink were prominent figures. while the 50 and 100-yard free style were the favorite events of Dan Hewitt. Everett Huppert. Wallace Kehr. Bill Nieman. Ernest Nygren. Jack Schmidt. Ralph Wevers. Curt Hocrig. Erwin Luedtke, Charles Radtke. Harry Kohler. Bill Miller, Don Taft, and John Clauder. In the breast stroke Roland Biersach, Wilson Schier, and Hubert Will were the star performers. Frank Lau. a sophomore, was the biggest point gainer in the fancy diving. This large group of boys interested in swim- ming was one of the largest swimming teams we have ever had. The team did most of its practicing at the North Avenue Nata- r o r i u m; however, during t h e latter part of the season practices were held in the school tank. Almost all the mem- bers of the squad re- turn for the coming season. Page Tico Hunilrcil ' ' vsA H.nGTOnS TEMHIS.

N, Nessman, TENNIS CLUB PERHAPS we should have called this article The Tennis Racket because we had every reason to make a racket about the successful sea- son that was in store for the Tennis Club. A group of responsive enthusiasts of the game, piloted by an able critic and able officers, a prominent tennis player as a guest speaker, a new net, and prospects of sending a team to Madison for the State Meet were some of the reasons for the club ' s being sure of a successful season. Mr. Froehlich, club critic, and Ray Suchy, President, with the help of Antoinette Thielen, Vice-President, and Esther Weller. Secretary, planned a schedule that had everyone on his toes anxious to put the plans across. Mr. Louis Rechcygl, Presi- dent of the Wisconsin Tennis Association, in a short talk to the Washington Tennis Club, gave the fans a fcvv pointers on the game which proved valuable assets to the tennis players. Although heavy snow storms R.iymond Suchy heralded the coming of spring, the tennis enthu- siasts hauled out their rackets just the same; but instead of hiking to the park they hiked down to the gym; and there, with the aid of the net purchased by the club, they enjoyed a real game of tennis. And then for the matches and the tourna- ment themselves. On April 26 Washington sent a team consisting of Ray Suchy, Lawrence Feary. Nathan Gorenstein and Earl Geisinger to meet the Country Day School. Washing- ton defeated Country Day 6-0 in the four singles and two doubles matches that were played. for matches with West Allis May 3, St. John ' s Military Academy at D e 1 a f i e 1 d on May 17. and most important of all the State Tennis iMeet at Madison on May 24 kept all the members actively interested and cnthusi- •istic.

Gus was aided in his long drives by two able caddies in the persons of Ray Schmitz, Vice-President, and Ann Harley. Secretary -Treasurer. Fore I Forward! was the motto of the club during the past two semesters, and the club surely lived up to its motto, for it went forward in every way. Mr. A. F. Miller, critic, with the co-operation of the officers conducted a very successful membership cam- paign. The club also Vv ' cnt forward in maintaining and creating new interest in the game of golf. At the meetings slides of in- ternationally known golfers were shown. President Mader gave individual attention to those who desired it and also demonstrated at many meetings proper use of clubs and many of the different shots. The members of the golf team who represented Washington in the state tournament were John Clauder. Karl Boedecker, Everett Huppert, William Enters, Louis Habel, and Ralph Wevers. These members also en- gaged in dual meets with other high schools. Mention should be made of the girls who, under the direction of Miss Adele Falk, have also taken great strides toward measuring up to the standard of good golfers. A separate tournament for girls was held, and although no great golfers were discovered, the pleasure derived from the tournament made it a very successful venture. The purpose of the club is to promote inter- est in golf. This purpose was carried out at all meetings as is shown by a typical program given on March 1 7. Uses of the vari- ous clubs were demonstrated by Mr. Mader. Slides of the swings of such golfers as Bobby Jones. Jess Sweetser, and Horton Smith were shown. May the club continue the spirit of ' 29 and ' 30 — Fore! Forward ! Gustave Mader Robert Thurwachter Page Tivo Hundred Three ■j.— LIL The Homecoming Dance Strike up the Band THE BOYS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION AVERY successful program was carried o ' in th Boys ' Athletic Association with the assistance of a very capable group of of- ficers and the whole-hearted support of Mr. Ericson, faculty critic. The work of the association consists of support, both financial and moral, of vari- ous athletic activities in the school. To this end the association did its work extremely well. Moral support was offered along many lines. During the football and track seasons activities were sponsored that promoted spirit in our school and on our teams. Moreover, the large membership provided funds for buying various football equipment including jerseys, shoes, and helmets. During the track season funds were contributed to pro- V i d e transportation to the various meets in which our team participated. Throughout the year fine. staunch support was given to every movement undertaken by the association, and when- 1 Donald Wjgcn er volunteers were wanted for various projects, there was a sufficient number of boys at hand. This spirit and feeling of co-operation was due largely to the energetic officers of the club — Donald Wagen. President: James Schacfer, Vi ce-President: Charles Jacobson, Secretary: Robert Neilson, Treasurer: and Robert Neu- bauer, Sergeant-at-Arms. The officers arranged the program of the year so that all the boys would have some in- terest in the work done by the club. Besides the monetary aid that was given to our teams, the club backed other important movements. The Homecoming, during the football season, was the largest in the history of our school. Mothers, Dads, alumni, teachers, and pupils at- tended the game. Much of a the fine feeling at the games was due to the large parade, as well as many other similar parades, supported and spon- - sored by the association.

WAHIAT ANOTHER successful year for Wahiat; The organization was well represented in volleyball, for one huncireci anci seventy- eight answereci Miss Haven ' s call for players. Grace Wollenzien ' s persistent Whoopie team triumphed after a breath-taking season and played with zip and pep . The Champs had strong competition in the semi- finals. Sylvia Reschenberg ' s darting Sky Rockets lost a hard-fought battle to the Whoopies . Eleanor Zielke ' s Whippets and Elizabeth Schrams Shooting Stars played in the semi-finals, and the eleven remaining teams were merits to the association. After the echoes of the enthusiastic volley- ball players had vanished, the active members began basketball. Again the teams were playing for all there was in it. but Jane Korn ' s peppy team won the championship. Hazel Hug ' s team made the Champs work for the title in the finals, and Marguerite Mil- ler ' s and Grace ' Wollenzien ' s ft ' 1 «: Jeanccte Habcrm.in teams reached the semi-finals. The ' SX ' ahiats are looking forward to a good season of base- ball, and they are sure to have it. The entire year was a huge success, for the girls turned out big to see and play the games. This year. ' Vv ' ahiat has tried something en- tirely different in its organization — that of giving a banquet in the cafeteria in spring. Dancing preceded the banquet. Miss Elsie Peters of ' West Division High School was the guest of honor. The captains of the runner- up teams gave short speeches. Cheering and singing completed the program. The officers chosen for the first semester were President. Lorraine Hoppe: Vice-Presi- dent. Ann Harley: Secretary. Grace Wollenzien: Treasurer. Jcanette Haberman. During the second semester, the follow- ing were elected: President. An- toinette Thielen: Vice-Presi- dent. Evelyn Drolshagen: Sec- retary. Lucille Noll: Treasurer. Jeanette Haberman.
