Text from Pages 1 - 118 of the 1942 volume:

MEBICH is ever facing a future of greater accomplish- ments and higher ideals. Today a policy which has been steadily gaining in popularity in the past few years is now a most important factor in our lives. The Good Neighbor Policy is hailed as an integrating force, a demo- cratic triumph, and a step in the right direction in Western Hern- ispheric solidarity. We are realizing more than ever before the Wisdom of such a policy and We are leaving no stone unturned in energetic efforts to administer such a program. Friendship is based on understanding: there is no more fitting place to create this understanding than in the schools of Hmerica. We, the students of the Hrnericas, accept the challenge and dedicate our- selves to that purpose! Let the young Hmericans of the North and the young Hmericans of the South unite in a mutual understanding, and together they will build a New World so strong and beautiful that it will save the Old World from itself! DR. SHMUEL GUY INMHN THE I942 QRBIT X Xrxf ZX- N I ,1 B 1,1 f , Lui Wg 5 f J ,5. 1 -f lib' I 'bf J 1 AQ XXX I l Farewell, Mr Buell R. BUELL was born on a farm near Lake Gen- eva. He obtained his early education there and in Janesville. He was graduated from Beloit College in 1901. Botany was his major subject. He played tackle on a football team which competed with Notre Dame, the University of Chicago, and the University of Wisconsin. He recalls playing against Wisconsin's immortal Pat O'Dea. He was a member of the Man- dolin Club in which he played violin and a member of the Glee Club in which he sang tenor. Hfter college he engaged in the teaching pro- fession for several years. Then he returned to Lake Geneva to help manage his father's farm. He once said that he thought Hamlin Garland in his writing had exaggerated the hardships of the farmer of the Middlewest. When he returned to teaching, it was to Water- town that he came first as a teacher and the following year as principal. His students have affirmed him a very fine teacher. During these years the present high school was built. In 1920 he went to Milton as principal for four years and then returned to Water- town as Superintendent of Schools. In this capacity he has served for eighteen years. Within these years the junior high school was built. Mr. Buell speaks with pride of the fact that he has seen all five of his children graduate from the Watertown High School. Mr. Buell has well merited his reputation of a scholarly and dignified school man. In an era of ex- perimentalism and faddishness, he has continued to uphold the sound academic standards of the pub- lic school. Ht the same time, his school has many progressive features. Hmong these are a speech correction instructor, a dental hygienist, an oppor- tunity room, and a cafeteria. Hmong Mr. Buell's personal tastes and hobbies, music has been his first love. Ht one time there was a Buell family orchestra. The innovation of the music festival in the school was a carry-over of this interest. He has always been a great and varied reader. His interest in traveling has taken him to all parts of the United States. To see him in a more homely guise would require merely to look in his garden where he spends much time. 647 r . -.L TO THE PIRIT F Ll ITY dilfl C00 67Z6lii0lfL ilfl, iA6 we.4fe'm emfa eze In creating a good will policy we look to our leaders, at home and abroad. There have been great men who fostered Pan-Hmerican friendship long before it was considered a vital part of our foreign policy. Such men were, and are, Iames G. Blaine, Grover Cleve- land, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Cordell Hull, and Sumner Welles from the United States: Simon Bolivar, San Martin, and Iuarez from South Hmerica. The Good Neighbor Policy is a deliberate, system- atic, and integrated attempt to improve North Hmer- ican relations with Latin Hmericaf' IOHN GUNTHER ,.1---1 -1.- ff '- '1- ' .- ,,....-1 ,.f- ,1 ,,. ... ..-..- ,.. .J-u'-v--'i ... ,1 .....,--L ... , .2 .. ff... .. ... -- g ' - - ..- Alll' ,,- W f f ll ,, 1,4 l A,,,..- ..- ,- ,,,n'--- ,-4' ww ,,.... .L ..-i,,..,, ,......- ...- 155 THE CLASSES 1--Q.-1 -1.1 .- ,...f-,- fi -T-1 -,...-1 .Q -. .-Q. .1 ,-., ...41'-, ..- ,T -1 .1 ,.-. ,..

Does it sound like it? Mr. Runkel sang with a double quartet in college. Way back when, Mr. Bordsen used to play several musical instruments over the radio. While We're on the subject of years gone by, Mr. Ioseph was Big Chief of the Kick-a-poo clan in col- lege. Talk about your thrills, the little burro Miss Schoenicke was riding down one of the mountains in Zion National Park, decided to turn around in the middle of the path and go in the opposite direction. The path, by the way, was just wide enough for the burro's feet: with a rock wall on one side and on the other a drop of several thousand feet. Miss Maclnnis took an early interest in annuals: in fact at the age of six weeks her picture appeared in the Lawrence annual, where her father was a junior. Miss Griffith's most thrilling experience was slightly on the breathless side. Her first ride on a mule was down the steep perilous ledges of Grand Canyon. On a trip to Pikes Peak, Miss Roberts and a former faculty member, wandered away from the crowd to try to get back to the cars. They started to take a short cut and got lost. Miss Gruner has spent a summer session in the Oxford Uni- versity in London. Hround the same time Miss Ott took a 250- mile bicycle trip through England and Scotland. Here's an inspiration for you. Mr. Roeck payed his school fees at college, and his board and room, all on a S15 a month job. Miss Kreuziger and Miss Sauer were both former students of the Watertown High School. Oh, for the life of a seaman! Our own Mr. Iohnsen used to be a sailor on the Great Lakes, while Mr. Keller spent part of his earlier days as a lumberjack. 'Way back in 1938 H. D. the Herreids made a trip 'through the Southern states. One of the high spots was Mammoth Cave. Mr. Wills caught the largest trout in Wisconsin a few years ago. The fish weighed five and a quarter pounds. By the way, he won first prize of a fifty-five dollar fly rod on it. Both Miss Vestling and Miss Flaherty were on the high seas at the time the recent war broke out. Miss Vestling was coming from Norway and Miss Flaherty was on her way home from South Hmerica. She was on a German liner and was forced to stay in the custody of the German navy for several weeks. Miss Plowright's first job was that of swimming teacher at 75 cents per half hour. C145 Know About Our Faculty Miss Iohnson recently took flying lessons at the University of Iowa. Before taking up the teaching profession, Mr. Krause worked for a time with the Wisconsin State Highway Department. In the good old days, Mr. Starkey drove a horse and buggy to high school. See what you boys are missing? Following the old Oregon trail the Galaskes took a tour through the West, and while on the coast, saw the Pacific fleet in action. Miss Hartwick attended a summer school in California and from there made a trip to Mexico. Miss O'Neil took a trip to New York recently, and was much impressed by Radio City. Miss Parks spent her last summer as an instructor in a carrlp for underprivileged children, while Miss Ramthum worked for a commercial art concem. Several years ago when there were still Blue Birds Over the White Cliffs of Dover, Mr. Hnderson took a trip abroad. He spent five weeks in Sweden and then went on down into Central Europe. It seems as if Coach Landsverk and Mr. Sandin have tastes about the same when it comes to trips. Mr. Sandin went on a camping trip near the Canadian border. Mr. Landsverk made a ten day fishing trip which took him into Canada. Hround the time that Hitler was rising to power, Mr. Kessler made a trip into Central Europe. He could have attended a meet- ing at which Hitler was speaking, but he was advised not to, be- cause at times riots broke out and often many people were hurt. Um-m there's something about a uniform! Miss Quilling at- tended the graduation exercises at Hnnapolis. Miss Hill took a trip through some of the Eastern states. Hmong the many places she visited, some of the outstanding places were Boston, West Salem, and Mount Vernon. Miss Skinner taught Math in Turkey for some time. Miss Boelte took an Hlaskan cruise several summers ago. When she was a child in grade school, Miss Kellerman went riding with Madame Schumann-Heink. Mrs. Reinhard made a trip to Quebec and among the many places visited, the Citadel was most outstanding. While the rest of us were probably very uncomfortable in the summer heat of Iuly 4, 1986, Miss Greenhalgh was bundled up for winter weather at a ski toumament in the Colorado moun- tains. -e- ui... ,1--,-I g ,... 1 ,.g-1 ft 1-14' -. -, ,.-- ,.. .1 - .,.- L.. 5 -- ,- -L ,. -1 ...- I :.- 'Ill .f llll' ., ,. . ,tm -- ..- .1 ...

Through these organizations we assimilate our own culture as well as gather choice ideas from our neighbors.

Not only were the pro- jects of last year developed more fully but many new projects were also car- ried out. Hmong these were: the provision of a Pep Band for games, a Court- esy and Clean Up Campaign, a citizenship program, the lost and found depart- ment, and the social committee which functions on behalf of the student body in urging more dances. They also managed the homecoming festivities under the leadership of its secretary. The outstanding feature of the year was the promotion of the sale of Defense Savings Bonds and Stamps. We hope they will keep up the good work and achieve more success in the future.

The students were eager to promote Forensics for the purpose of raising the standard of performance, encouraging better speech habits, and attempting to abolish stage fright.

Watertown made an excellent record in the league contest, which was held at Watertown. Four winners in the five divisions went on to the sub-district contest at Portage. Two of these won out and represented Watertown in the district contest at Deerfield. t4Bl DEBHTE The debate season was an interesting and successful one from the stand- point of a pertinent question as well as the quality of performance. The ques- tion was: RESOLVED: That all able-bodied male citizens, before attaining the present draft age, shall have one year of full time compulsory military training. Of the twelve who comprised the entire squad, six finally represented the school in the various clinics and practice tournaments. In addition to tak- ing part in clinics at the University of Wisconsin and Marquette University, they competed in practice tournaments at Oconomowoc, Madison, Sheboygan, and University Extension, Milwaukee, to win 20 of 26 decision debates. They won third in University Forensic Board Tournament, competing against 71 teams. and then placed first in the District Tournament at Portage, winning all six de- cisions. In the sectional tournament at Madison they won three and lost three. This season was a good one for the squad, considering the loss of five regulars from the past year's team. The Freshman-Sophomore debate team was made up of Herbert Dakin, Ruth Bregenzer, affirmative: and lean Zimmerman, Robert Hrchie, negative. They took part in the Mayville and Watertown practice tournaments. HFFIRMHTIVE-Ralph Gaebler, Fred Huebner, Catherine Wallman. NEGHTIVE-Fred Huber, Richard Lemmerhirt, Ieanette Reichardt.

C585 WHTERTOWN vs. RIPON fl3-Ol The mighty Blue and White opened their football season with a spirited brand of ball. The game, although not the best of the season, was an interest- ing struggle. Our' recruits showed an unusual ability, intercepting passes and holding Ripon back to their own half of the field. Our boys scored in the sec- ond and fourth quarters and showed that they would be a good match for the stiffer competition to come. Howie Wilkes, amid the score of veterans, as well as Weaver and Dobbratz, played a good game. The final score was in favor of the home town boys 13-0. WHTERTOWN vs. PORTHGE l25-Sl Hlthough the score indicates an easy win, Portage ball-carriers gave our boys a tough battle. Thunder Erdmann, playing his first game at fullback. showed the caliber of an H11-Hmerican. He could not be stopped. The line, made up of Braunschweig, Wallman, Draeger, and Usher, held the Portage backs from making heavy gains. The team played as a whole and showed considerable improvement in manpower since the Ripon game. Eearning their first two victories, Watertown now steps into a season with high hopes of keep- ing their standard of good football. WHTERTOWN vs. BEHVER DHM l26-Ol The Blue and White set back the Beavers in the early stages of the game and took charge from then on. Hrmed with new plays, fthe credit goes to Coach Landsverk and Coach Kessler? they gained good yardage, play after play. The spirit on the team reached a high peak and this can also be credited for such a fine game. The line performed in top shape and gave our backs a chance to show their true colors. Erdmann again was unstoppable and along with Weaver, Dobbratz, Draeger and the others it was an impressive battle. With Homecoming approaching, the good old gang showed that real spirit. WHTERTOWN vs. EDGEWOOD ll3-Ol In a wild, fumbling game Watertown again took over and plunged the ball goalward twice. Playing before Watertown's largest football crowd in years, the Blue and White showed the ability to capitalize on breaks. It was a nip and tuck battle until the gun roared in the final seconds. Three times we were stopped on Edgewood's 10 yard line. Floyd Usher and Charles Zoelle at ends proved their defensive power. The line held again and again in 'those decisive minutes. With Draeger, Braunschweig, and Wallman the Edgewood halfbacks found the going tough. f59l WHTERTOWN vs. IHNESVILLE K7-12l Playing in a field of mud, and with rain pouring down, the Blue and White gridders lost a heart breaking game to the elusive lanesville players. Taylor, a beautiful running back made two touchdowns in the final minutes. Watertown led 7-O all of the way until the final quarter. In the closing minutes Watertown went to their l3 yard line, but could not push it over. The Water- town spectators had never seen such an exciting game. It was truly one that is written in dime store novels the nation wide. Fleuter and Usher played a good game despite the muddy conditions. lt was the first defeat since midway in the '39 season. Let's hope the boys are prepared for next week's battle. WHTERTOWN vs. EHU CLAIRE f13-16l Hnother hard defeat, but a game of which every boy who played should be proud. Watertown suffered its heart-breaking defeat at the hands of a fine ball club. Watertown's line staged a comeback and stood as a solid wall. Wall- man, Braunschweig, Kunz, and Draeger played their hearts out as did Iohn Kaercher, who played an outstanding game at center. The spirited Blue and White were at their peak, but played against odds, for Eau Claire had a brilliant passing attack set up by Dick Lewis. Hll in all, it was a game that will never be forgotten and will go down in Watertown High School football history as one of the top games ever to be played on the Washington Park field. WHTERTOWN vs. CHMPION C0-13l Travelling to Prairie du Chien to play another fine club, Watertown suf- fered a defeat in the final game of the season. It was a determined team that beat Watertown and one that took advantage of every break. Watertown was within the opponent's 10 yard line three times, but time and time again lost the ball. The final score was 13-O in favor of Campion, but nevertheless, that score was not the final story of the game. Our team outplayed Campion in almost every respect of football but it ended there in a sad story. Watertown's season in all was a real success. We met teams who played a much better brand of ball than those teams we had played before. We won 4 games and lost 3, which were all hard defeats to take, but one thing was attained on that football field and that was a good team spirit which reached a new high. l f60l HHH SQUHD Coach Roeck, Weaver, Zoelle, Barry, Tester, Knick, fMgr.D Erdmarm, Usher, Mullen, Nevermann, Kaercher BHSKETBHLL SEHSON RECORD Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown 23 ,,,,, ,,,,r,rr B urlington 15 23 ,.,,,,, Y,,,7,,,,,,,r,,, S linger 12 21 ,,Y,Y, ,,,,,, B eaver Dam 33 22 ,,,,,,, rrrarrr B urlington 14 23 ,,,,,, rrrrr,r E dgewood 24 28 ,,.,v, r,..aarr H lumni 36 25 ,,,,,, ,,.r,,,r.,arrrrYra H oricon 26 33 ,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,.,r,r,,.

They showed plenty of spirit and their impressive smaller players showed that height is not everything on a basketball team. We will see more of them on the varsity squad in years to come. 1633 November 25 Watertown High opened its basketball season with a 23-15 victory over Burlington. The boys in blue and white started slow with Burlington holding them to a 12-10 lead going into the final quarter, but the gun went off and the final score was in favor of the Goslings. Usual first game raggedness Was evi- dent, but Coach Wally Roeck has high hopes land so have wel of a very suc- cessful season. November 29 The W. H. S. cagers, playing their second game away from home, came back on the long end of things again. Tonite the boys took Slinger to the cleaners to the count of 23 to 12. Ben Mullen and Charley Zoelle led the scor- ing with six points each. December 2 Beaver Dam came to town and set the boys in blue and white back on their heels in the first home game of the season 33-21. Pete Zernov, Beaver Dam's Mad Russian was the chief trouble maker and led all scoring with 18 points. Paul Neverman and Vernie Erdmann shared scoring honors with six and five points respectively. December 12 Playing an improved brand of basketball the Goslings scored their first win on the home floor defeating Burlington 22-14. Out-maneuvering their op- ponents at every possible opportunity, they now have three victories to one de- feat. lim Weaver led the scoring with six points. December 19 The boys in blue lost a hard fought, close and exciting game to a fast Edgewood High Team. The final score left us on the short end of a one-point loss. Zoelle, Neverman, and Big Vernie Erdmann were outstanding. Excite- ment ran high and the crowd was very tense as a Watertown player made one last attempt for victory as the gun went off. I-'inal score: We, 23: They, 24. Ianuary 2 H strong alumni team led by Harry Grabow defeated Watertown High 36-28 in an action filled plus game. The Hlumni led all the Way and only once did we threaten them by narrowing the lead to one point. The former State Champs were paced by Grabow, Ebert, and Kuenzi while the high school cagers were paced by Weaver and Mullen. I anuary 6 H technical foul cost Watertown a decision at Horicon by a 26-25 score. Nip and tuck all the way the regulation game ended at 23 all. Each team sank a basket in the over time period and the remark What about a foul by a Water- town player cost a foul and the game. Ianuary 13 Hfter losing four in a row the Blue and White cagers got on the beam and defeated Lake Mills 33-18. The Goslings played effective ball throughout and after building an 18-7 half-time lead, coasted to victory. Mullen and Zoelle led the scoring and Erdmann's ball handling and floor game was commendable. Ianuary 16 Playing a spirited brand of basketball, the Blue and White cagers won a well earned victory over Nathan Hale 29-25. Zoelle led the scoring with eight points and Weaver and Erdmann stood out the floor game. 1647 Ianuary 23 H long shot with 15 seconds to play gave Port Washington a one point victory over Watertown at Port, 29-28. The game was played on even terms with Port overcoming our five point lead to win. Neverman paced the scoring with ll points. Ianuary 30 H hard-fighting Watertown High team lost its fourth one-point decision to Delavan 37-36. The Blue and White played the best game of the year and sent the spectators away well satisfied, but limp and gasping for air. Never- man and Zoelle sparked the Blue and White offensive with 14 and 12 points respectively. Delavan, led by Red York, overcame a 7 point lead and put on a brilliant scoring spree that carried them to a hard fought victory. February 3 Hfter displaying erratic form for two quarters, Watertown High settled down and defeated Slinger 25-21. Watertown's shooting was off considerably and it was only the rebound work that gave us victory. Weaver and Zoelle each had six points to lead the scoring. February 10 Illness and a very low free throw percentage cost Watertown another ball game at Portage 21-19. Watertown was held to three points the first half, and second half rally was short by two points. Mullen paced the Blue and White with seven points. February 20 Watertown routed Port Washington to give the home fans a little proof of what they are capable of doing when they are on. Sinking shots almost anywhere the Blue and White won almost at will. Chuck Zoelle was the big gun with 18 points. H fast break and alert playing enabled the Watertown team to even the score for that one point defeat at Port earlier in the season, by the score of 34-23. February 25 Watertown lost its sixth one point decision to Lake Geneva by a 26-25 score. Watertown led at half time 17-10, but Geneva tied the score early in the third period and the game was close from then on. H basket by Morgan, his eighth of the game, with less than a minute to go, enabled them to win. February 27 Nathan Hale won the final home game of the year 25-22. Showing con- siderable improvement in floor play Nathan Hale evened the series. Neither side showed accuracy on field goals and had Hale made more than one of twelve free throws the score may have been different. Erv Tester led the Gos- lings with aggressive floor play and ball handling. Toumament Coach Walter Roeck started five underclassmen as the Watertown team made its bid for consolation honors against Ripon High of the Little Ten Con- ference in a game played at Beaver Dam. Next year's hopefuls ran wild and defeated Ripon 33-21. Consolation Finals Watertown ended the season with a final victory over Port Washington to win the consolation finals 23-20. Huge Vernie Erdmann, sophomore star, was outstanding. He led all scoring with ll points and his floor play was com- mendable. 1 THE 42 ORB IT 1651 INTRAMURALS VOLLEY BHLL Senior Class Finals Holy Cross Cl0:l5 Gym Class 5 Stanford 4 Michigan State 3 Columbia 2 Duke 1 Drake 0 Iunior High Finals Won Santa Clara t9:30 Gym Class 5 Tulane 4 Baylor 2 Texas 2 Washington 1 'fi Won Lost Pct. 0 1000 1 800 3 600 3 400 4 200 5 000 Lost Pct. 0 1000 1 800 3 400 3 400 4 200 4 200 St. Mary 1 FINHL BHSKETBHLL STHNDINGS Seniors, Freshmen, Iuniors, Sophomores Personnel of Senior R -B.

The key to a people's minds is its literature: the link of friend- ship between two peoples is a common understanding and enjoy- ment of their respective authors. Literature has played an im- portant part in the selling of the Good Neighbor Policy to both North and South Hmerica. Some of the best known North Hmerican magazines are now published in Spanish and one of them has a circulation of between a quarter and half million copies south of the border. Some of the Latin Hmerica's own magazines are published in North Elmer- ica. In our Literature Section there may be a future author who will perpetuate these ideals in his written words. If XXX 1 H 1 ff J 513,11 Lf-1 I FRIENDSHIP THROUGH UNDERSTHNDING With the World at war, and with our government stressing more than ever the idea of Pan-Hmericanism, it is our duty as students and as citizens of the United States to try to better understand our Central and South .Flrnerican neighbors. It is with this in mind that several of our fellow students have, for the past few months, corresponded with students in the Central and South Hrnerican schools. The following quotations are taken from letters received by members of the Orbit staff. They cannot represent the ideas of the countries as whole, but they do give a hint as to the sentiments of the people. Most of these were written before we entered the war but they plainly show that their sympathies have been with us for a long time. These quotations express their ideas on education and on the World situation. Maria Luisa Hldunate of Santiago, Chile, in presenting a plan for unity between the Hmericas, says: Hn interesting aspect for the greater unity of all the nations of our continent could be brought about by a stronger appreciation of the intellectual and artistic activities, which, up to now, have only received a small share of notice and enthusiasm. I believe that more frequent visits and interchange of our lettered men, university teachers, and scientists, as well as a deeper knowledge of the paintings, music, and other arts of all the Hmerican countries, would create a greater comprehension of our people, and would stimulate these intellectual and spiritual activities in common profit for all people of the continent .... I instinctively have an inclination for all the democratic doctrines that mean liberty, equality, and respect for ideas that are included in the circle of Christian morals in which I have lived. 1- 1- 1- 1- 1- Rafael Fernandez of Havana, Cuba, praises the theme of this year's Or- bit in this manner: It is now the moment to build the bridge for better under- standing of the Hmericas and I believe that by this kind of work you are doing we will eventually succeed. 1- ik 1- 1- -A- In discussing students of her country, Hdela Hlvarado Zerpa of Ven- zuela, Writes: H characteristic tenacity proves to be the best quality of all those students trying to get specialized in either one of their subjects. Others attain to get the best knowledge out of all their subjects, no matter they do not get specialized in any one of them, but both cases, they are inspired in an earnest desire of serving humanity in the future. t 1 1- 1 -A- I will tell you that in Nicaragua We are tired of war and are longing for the time when men will learn to act like real human beings .... this is a work to which we need to dedicate our whole life .... The United States was hated by us some time ago because the government and Wall Street wanted us to belong to them .... but now we have forgotten all about that with Mr. Roosevelt's policy. So writes Pedro Rafael Nunez O. of Nicaragua. 1 1- 1- 1- 1- From Paraguay, Carlos Ynsfran Writes: Hbout my own attitude toward the Good Neighbor Policy, I think it is a very nice thing the United States is doing to help us. I hope that everybody agrees with me in this even though the most part of the people are pro-German. 1- 1- 1 t mr , THE H42 ORB IT 1707 Salvador Brizuela Ferman who lives in El Salvador, pays a wonderful tribute to our country: l think that the meaning of the U. S. H. is Liberty and Democracy. f Q A- Q- -A- The final quotation is written in praise of our president and his policies. lt is from Marcella Saavedra of Panama, R. P., I have a deep respect for the President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and I believe that his Good Neighbor Policy toward the Latin Hmerican countries will help us in understanding each other a little better. There have been many misunder- standings between North and Latin Hmerica, but I think that, if President Roose- velt's policy subsists, those misunderstandings will be cleared up and the future will bring a new dawn of mutual cooperation, friendship, and happiness. The following pages contain letters written by authorities on the Pan- Hmerican question. These were written in reply to letters written them by members of the Orbit staff. Of the several letters one of great interest to us, is the one sent us by Ioe Davies, Watertown's favorite son. He is a graduate of our high school, Class of 1894. Statement by Ioseph E. Davies, tClass of 18943, for the Hnnual Year Book of the Watertown High school. It is distinctly creditable to the Watertown High School that it should have the enterprise to issue a Year Book. The Senior Class of 1942 have chosen an excellent subject in the Pan-Hmerican Good Neighbor Policy as its theme. Pan-Hmerican friendship has been of the greatest importance for many years. It is now peculiarly so. President Roosevelt has contributed enormous- ly to Western Continental Solidarity through his Good Neighbor Policy. It is, of course, vital to our defense, as well as to the defense of this Westem Bmerican Continent, that there should not only be friendship, but unity through this terrible war. The countries of the Hmerican Continents all desire nothing more than to be permitted to live in a world where the nations of the earth can live to- gether as good neighbors, under a policy of live, and let live, and where all differences between nations shall be settled, not by the application of force, or of arms, but by the processes of peaceful negotiation, and the application of rules of fairness and equity, which is incident to, and a part of, the Christian way of life. That world system has been attacked, and is in great jeopardy. Pan-Hmerican solidarity is one of the things which is of the utmost im- portance. It is the bastion of our Liberties, and our Way of Life. IOSEPH E. DHVIES. Former Hmbassador of the United States to Russia and Belgium, and Special Hd- visor to the Secretary of the United States on War Emergency Problems and Policies. i713 H Pondfield Court Bronxville, N. Y. Sept. 30, 1941 I am glad to know of your plans to correspond with students in Latin Hmerican countries, and also to discuss the Good Neighbor Policy in your magazine, Orbit. I trust that this will bring you into contact with Latin Hm- erican people and their way of viewing life. Our attitude toward many things is quite different. It is necessary to study the Latin I-lmerican people and their problems. Enthusiasm alone is not sufficient for the development of our inter- Hmerican relations. We also need to lower our trade barriers and do other practical things like translating their literature as well as providing translating some of our good books for our Southern friends. I wish you all success. Yours cordially, SHMUEL GUY INMHN Professor of International Relations, University of Pennsylvania. This is from Wisconsin's native author, Hugust Derleth. November 13, 1941 My views on the Pan-Hmerican Good Neighbor Policy would fill a good- sized book, and unfortunately I have too many other books to write at this moment to undertake another. Suffice it to say that the Policy is one which has been consistently advocated by far-sighted and unselfish Hmericans, and con- sistently sabotaged by ignorant, selfish legislators and ministers. That it should have taken a world crisis of the magnitude of the present one to awaken most Hrnericans to this fact is evidence only of the stupidity of the average Hmeri- can, and the cupidity of the average legislator. Sincerely, HUGUST DERLETH November 19, 1941 I was very happy to receive your letter of October 30 and to learn that the seniors of your 1942 class have chosen the Pan-Hrnerican Good Neighbor Policy as the theme to which they would like to devote their annual yearbook. The adoption of this theme by the graduating class is another example of our determination to work for the inter-Hmerican objective: national defense through hemisphere solidarity. It is another indication of our desire to come to know the national heroes, the traditions, and the cultural background of each of the other Hmerican Republics. In many ways it symbolizes our aim of a union of our intellectual forces in order to achieve the ideal of the Hmerican renaissance of unlimited possibilities. Sincerely, NELSON H. BOCKEFELLER Coodinator of Inter-Hrnerican Hffairs. THE 42 ORB IT 1723 Dr. Stuntz addressed the student body on Inter-Hmerican Hffairs and afterward gave the following statement: OUR SOUTH HMERICHN NEIGHBORS One hundred and twenty million people live south of-the Rio Grande. Their language is different from ours, their customs, their traditions, their an- cestry and their way of looking at things are all different from ours. Yet we are neighbors and will go on being neighbors for hundreds of years to come. No one can have good neighbors unless he is willing to be a good neigh- bor himself. That means he must get acquainted, learn to understand his neigh- bor, find some common ground of interest and treat the man next door as a human being. Unfortunately we have ignored our Latin Hmerican neighbors. We fail to study their language or their history, we know little about their music, literature, art or social life and that makes us feel that we are superior. One always feels superior to other people until he comes to know them and ap- preciate their good qualities. So our first step in building a good neighborhood is to learn all we can about them, study their language so that we may find out what they think and not just what some reporter tells us about them. We must recognize also that the people of the twenty Republics of Latin Hmerica are as different from each other as they differ from us in race, customs. polititcs and social life. The Inca and Hztec Indians are a civilized, docile. hard-working people as different from the wild Iungle Indians of the Hmazon region as we are different from the Hpaches. The immigrants who are building Hrgentina, Uruguay, Southem Brazil and Chile are as different from the landed aristocrats of those countries as Lord Haw Haw is different from a Wisconsin farmer. The Black people of northern Brazil have not had the advantages even of our negroes and are closer to the Hfrican jungle than to the democratic life of Hmerica. Hnd so it goes, difference everywhere. Contrasts of all kinds. Mt. Hconcagua in Chile is more than 220,000 feet high. Lake Titicaca between Peru and Bolivia is the highest navigable lake in the world. It takes a steamer all night to cross that lake at 12,500 feet elevation. Hnd we also have in South Hmerica the greatest river basin, the greatest waterfalls, the least explored ter- ritories, and the greatest untouched resources in the world.

But meanwhile Bolivar had led H massive army that had sped Down from Colombia to free Peru for Opportunity. San Martin to his rival bowed: lust for cause's good, he vowed. Peru was freed by Bolivar. The independent states now are Peru: but one free state was famed From Bolivar CBolivia namedl.

Richard Kasten 43 THE 42 ORB IT i747 THE HFFHIRS OF HENRY XIII Once upon a time not so very long ago, there lived a young prince by the name of Prince Henry XIII in the land of Noplace. Now Henry was not only a very rich young prince, but he was also the handsomest youth in all the land of Noplace. Why, if a girl would get just the tiniest glimpse of him, she would swoon away. Hs Henry was getting on toward twenty-two, his dear old mother thought it was about time that he got hitched. You see, his dear old mother was very old: and as soon as she would die, he would become king IF he were happily married to a true princess. Dear old Mother was extremely sick with neuralgia, and the head physician said there was no hope for her. So the Queen Mother summoned her son to her bedside and told him he should start right away to find a bride. But, Mother, young Henry XIII wailed, I don't like girls. They're so silly. Every time I see one she just stares at me dumfounded! Didn't you like Princess Sylvia from Snowhite Land? inquired his dear old mother. Oh, she was like all the others only a little prettier. But what would I do with a pretty dumb wife? sniftled. Henry. Son, you must find one! That's all there is to it, and you'll have to figure out how by yourself. Now go away and let me rest. Remember-she must be a TRUE princess. Henry thought the matter over for two whole days, and his advisors also thought with him. Finally one of them suggested that he go to see Old Man Moe, the Wizard, who lived on Blueberry Hill. So Henry galloped 'to Blue- berry Hill on his favorite motorcycle with double tail lights. The Wizard received him very kindly and said he would try to help. The old man wobbled into his concentration camp while Henry waited im- patiently. Presently Old Man Moe wobbled out and shrieked, I've got it! The plan was to put one tiny grain of magic sand into the prospect's soup: and if she were a true princess, she would complain of the bad taste. The young prince was so grateful that he gave the old man ten thousand dollars and one of his beloved tail lights. Let me see, thought Henry, I think I shall invite Princess Katherine known as the Blonde Thriller from Dinkieland. Ht least she calls herself a princess. Katy arrived in all her splendor for she was very anxious to become Queen of Noplace. She was beautiful beyond all words, and she wore a gorg- eous blue sarong. Henry actually thought he liked her, but the real test was yet to come. On the last day of her visit when Katy was getting nervous won- dering whether she suited the prince, she was presented with a spicy bowl of soup for lunch. Hs she had been riding the Surfboard all morning, she was simply ravenous. She wondered why she was getting only soup but asking no questions, she eagerly swooped it up: and she said it was the best she had ever eaten. Henry was disappointed at this. Sensing that she didn't please him any longer, Katy left in all her splendor, although she wasn't as particular as she was in the beginning. She had forgotten to curl her eyelashes! This time our hero invited a princess Ieannie with pitch black hair. She was known as Ieannie the Glamour Wower from Whatyoumaycallit Land. She arrived in a beautiful chariot driven by six white horses equipped with a radio, which was playing the lovely song, She'll Be Coming around the Mountain. She wore a dazzling long white dress trimmed with gold, and Henry thought her legs were beautiful. Her favorite occupation during her visit was cutting paper dolls, which the prince admired very much. Hs he had done with Katy, he presented her with a savory bowl of soup on the last day of her charming visit. Ieannie thought the soup was even more delicious than her own moth- l75J er's homemade spinach soup. Hgain Henry was disappointed, even more than before, as he liked her better than Katy. Now there was only one princess left that Henry knew of, and she was Princess I-Inne, better known as the Oomph Girl. Much to our hero's amaze- ment she piloted her own airplane to his palace. Henry thought she looked very chic in her pilot's outfit: and when she took off her helmet, he was over- awed by her rose red hair. Hnne was much more beautiful than either Katy or Ieannie and in a different way too-not the delicate type-in fact she was quite a tomboy. Henry grew fonder and fonder of her every minute, and the young pair got along beautifully. It turned out that Hnne was quite acrobatic. Why, she could do triple somersaults over her playmate's head. Ht last the crisis came-the last day of her delightful visit. She noticed that Henry was very nervous when he shakily set a bowl of soup before her that noon. Hfter taking one sip she exclaimed, Fooey, what awful stuff! Henry joyfully jumped ten feet into the air, knocking over the table and spilling all the soup on her pretty play suit. You're it! he screeched. You mean we're going to play tag? she inquired wonderingly. No, no, I've found you at last! yelled the breathless Henry. l didn't know we were playing hide-and-seek, said Hnne. Eventually Henry calmed down and slowly explained the situation: and after making a jerky proposal of marriage, all was quiet on the front again. They were very happily wedded the next day. Shortly after, Henry's dear old mother passed gently away, and Hnne and Henry became King and Queen of Noplace. Hnd as far as I know they're still at it! THE END fthe occasional mixup of words is entirely intentional.l Nancy Lewis 43 VICTORY I have heard many people say that we should have peace at any cost. It isn't in my mind to argue with them, or try to change their minds: but I would like to show them where they are wrong. Hfter I have given my facts they will see why I say, Victory at any cost. We have seen what happened to France when she thought that she should have peace at any price. She has sold her freedom to a treacherous enemy, just so she may have a few years of peace. If you will look at what she gained when she signed the armistice, you will notice how shallow her peace is. Her people are starving, they are poorly clothed: many of them are dead because of this. France's people won't stand for this kind of treatment. The people who fought for this kind of treatment, the people who fought for liberty in 1789, can't be kept under the yoke of tyranny. Many of the countries that have sold their souls to Hitler are all suffering the same fate. Thev have poor food: they haven't many clothes to protect them from the weather. These are some of the injustices they have gained by peace. Yet, you can't blame the people. They are just the pawns in the hands of a few men. It is these men who should be punished, not the people. Oh! how can people say that we, the mighty United States, should have this kind of false peace? It is far above my humble head to understand this. Should we, who have fought for our independence in 1776, be subjected to the same fate as poor, misguided France? No, a thousand times no. We have the power to fight, so let's make the best of it. I for one would much rather die fighting for our freedom, than slowly rotting away under the stagnant rule of a dictator. We have a flag, a country to fight for. Let's see that we keep the flag waving over the heads of free people, and keep the country intact. Bob Beisner 42 THE 42 ORB IT cvs: THE DICTHTOR In I-lustria, before its fall, There stood a man who was papering a wall. He dreamed of power, wealth and might Hnd soldiers with whom he could fight. He strove to make this dream come true: Though few thought he could ever do this wondrous thing, but he kept on until his goal he came upon. He mocked religion, race, and creed Hnd God, he said, he would not need His armies almost always won- His idol was Napoleon. But now this demigod from Hell will learn that it is just as well To act as meek as a little lamb for he'll be licked by Uncle Sam. David Bowen 42 LOOK FORWHRD CHILLUN! It's success that counts in this world today Success it is and it's on display. Where to find it, well, you may find It in most any place, in time. But now's the time to set a goal Hnd work toward it with heart and soul The day is young and the world is wide So make your aims and by them abide. It may not be so easy at first But it's worth trying even at its worst For tomorrow will come as today fades away Hnd by that time you'd better have your say.

Clarinda Cowen 44 C773 THHT'S WHBT HHPPENED TO ME Hs I was walking up to my classroom, I could still hear the girl's voices ringing in my ears. Sarcastic voices poking fun at me. They were conversing about this year's prom, such as Who was going with whom, Bill had asked Mary Io: So and So had a fight and he was taking someone else. Suddenly all the questions were directed at me. Who's going to take you? they asked. Is He going to take you or didn't he ask you yet? Q I could feel the blood rushing to my face. I replied curtly, No, He has- n't asked me yet. Having said this, I turned on my heels and made my way quickly from their midst. I heard their laughter ringing through the corridor and someone's voice saying, No one would ever ask her, no one would ever ask her. I couldn't concentrate on my studies that morning. Those thoughts kept running through my mind. No one would ever ask her. With these thoughts repeating and repeating, I exclaimed, I'll show them! lust wait, I'll show them! With determination, I stumped out of my classroom not looking where I was going. Before I knew it, I bumped right smack into someone. Ht first I saw stars. Then-heaven forbid-it was Him. The girls who had made the remarks about me were standing around snickering. One girl piped up and said, Gosh, is she clumsy! Then He asked me at the most opportune moment, right in front of the girls who had thought he Wouldn't. My moment of triumph had come. I was tingling from top to toe with joy. With a smug look, I turned to the snobbish girls. Their jaws seemed to be a foot longer. Then I turned to Him and said sweetly, Of course, I'd love to go with you. Isn't life carefree when you don't have a worry on your mind? Hll after- noon I felt as if I was walking on clouds. To my teacher's amazement I knew my lessons perfectly. I suppose they were Wondering what had happened. I rushed out of the building at night like a house on fire and ran all the way home. Panting, I burst into the house and told mother' that He had asked me to go to the Prom. Now the next problem was the matter of clothing. Maybe if I would save my allowances: but there were activity stamps and defense stamps to buy. This I explained to Mother. She said maybe she could solve the problem. The next day she went downtown and bought yards and yards of sky blue chiffon. Immediately I began to sew on my formal. Finally the day of the prom approached. The day seemed to drag on and on. Ht last it was over. During supper, I couldn't eat. Then came the time to dress. I iust couldn't wait to put on my formal. Hfter doing the other preparations, tingling with excitement I slipped my dress over mv shoulders. Then I looked in the mirror. The color of my formal brought out my best features. My hair formed a halo around my face. The time arrived when He was to call for me. Presently the doorbell rang. Dad answered it and He walked in. He looked very handsome. Shortly after He came we left. He said, Gee, you look swell tonight. These words were music to my ears. We arrived at the gym where the Prom was held. We danced and danced. Those few hours seemed to pass very fast. Then came the Grand March. Then came another surprise, we led the Grand March. I had showed those girls. I had gone to the Prom with Him, led the Grand March. Oh, I had better hurry. It was one minute before the bell would ring. That's what happened to me. If I could only be a Cinderella and all this would come true. Maybelle Eicksteadt 44 TI-IE 42 ORBIT 1787 BRE WE GOOD NEIGHBORS? Original Oration Hre we good neighbors? That is a grave question. Some of you might say, Why, yes, I'm a good neighbor. My neighbor and I get along very nicely. That's what some of us might say, but are we really good neighbors? Recently a group of people were waiting to get on a street car. In this group was a man, a negro woman and a few white women. The car arrived and the white women got on and sat down. Hfter they had been seated, there was one seat left. The man rushed to the seat and sat down. The negro woman was still standing. She eyed the man that had taken the last vacant seat. The man looked away from her. H few blocks later the man got off the car. The negro woman then sat down and relaxed. This man wouldn't get up to let this woman sit down. He was riding only a few blocks and she was probably riding for miles. Isn't this typical of the kind of prejudice we hold toward people of another race? We think that we are so much better than anyone else. This fact also holds true in our pre- judice towards the people of Latin Hmerica. We treat them as if they were actually lower than we. We people in the United States have a great lesson to leam. In many Ways the Latin Hmericans are ahead of us. We pride ourselves here in the United States on our early founding of universities. Harvard was founded in 1636. Mexico had a university in l55l. There were six universities in Latin Hmerica when Harvard was founded. The first printing press in the Hmericas was in Mexico about 1539. This was about one hundred years earlier than the first printing press in the English colonies. There are great racial differences in Latin Hmerica. In Hrgentina the population is eighty percent white. In Haiti, the population is mostly all black. Guatemala's is sixty percent Indian. These three races are mixed all over Latin Hmerica. The people of Brazil are not prejudiced, but are trying to form a cosmic or universal race. Here is the greatest uncrowded expanse of fertile land on the globe. Here is room for the swarming populations of Europe and Hsia. Hrgentina alone has room for millions of settlers. It could double its population before it would be as thickly settled as Texas. Here is a wealth of resources that no one can estimate. Brazilian coffee and rubber, Hrgentine wheat and beef, Chil- ean nitrate, Bolivian tin, Peruvian copper, Venezuelan petroleum, Cuban sugar, Costa Rican bananas, Mexican silver-these are just a few items of this wealth. Here are markets for the manufactured goods of other lands. Here are astound- ing cities. Rio de Ianeiro, many believe, is the most beautiful capital in the world. Here are splendid circles of intellectual leaders, equal in brilliancy, if not in numbers, to similar groups in Europe and the United States. Latin Hmerica's potential power is attracting the attention of the world. Trade missions from foreign industrial countries are found in every city of im- portance. Political, racial, cultural and religious groups are sending repre- sentatives to spread their ideas. The latest literature from France, Germany. Russia and other countries is seen in the libraries and bookstores. Little of this same material comes from the United States. German Naziism, Italian Fascism, and Russian Communism have each developed highly effective prop- aganda. Great Britain is seeking to extend its commercial influence, and France its cultural influence. Iapan is sending religious leaders, merchants, farmers and laborers to promote its interests. With their profound interest in the poetic and philosophic aspects of life. many Latin Hmericans care little for business. For this reason the North Hm- erican businessman is likely to look on the Latin I-lmerican as impractical and even backward. The Latin Hmerican, on the other hand, is likely to call his 1799 northern neighbor a money-Chaser. Each of these two great groups of people can profit by having neighbors so unlike themselves. The northerner can tone down his brusqueness, his hurry and preoccupation with practical affairs, by absorbing some of the Latin leisurely and meditative spirit. The southerner can supplement his charm and poetry with some of northern emphasis on ef- ficiency, order, and respect for property. Ever since 1933, the United States has been trying to strengthen our good neighbor policy with Latin Hmericas. Now that We are at war, we are trying to strengthen this policy even more. Before the war, our southern neighbors traded much with Europe. Now that war has started, they don't have many countries to trade with. This is where the United States enters into the picture. We are now trying to buy more of their raw materials, and export more of our manufactured goods to them. Not long ago, the United States signed a form of treaty with Hrgentina. We agreed to lower our tariff on imported goods from them, and they reciprocated. Hnother thing that will stimulate good fellowship in Pan Hmerica, is the new 10,000 mile highway that goes through North and South Hmerica. We are also building a new highway through Panama. Being good neighbors with Latin Hmerica is two sided. It requires the friendship of both of us. This could be helped by us if we knew a little more about them. When in Brazil, some Hmerican travelers have been known to say to the Brazilians, Oh, I'm so sorry that I didn't brush up on my Spanish before I came here. The stupid thing about this is that the Brazilians don't speak Spanish either. Our Southern neighbors are often neglected in our school systems. We should learn the Spanish language, which is the foremost language of the Latin Hmericas. We should study their history, and We should read and study their literature, which at one time was more advanced than that of the United States. The nations south of the Rio Grande are on our side. Hll have indicated that they will take whatever steps are needed to defend themselves, and to see that their territory is not used as a base for attacks upon the United States. The Latin Hmericans are with us, why shouldn't we be with them? Hfter this, when you hear the word Flmerica, think not of the United States alone. but think of the Latin Hmericas too, because they are just as much a part of the Hmericas as we are. King Harte 44 THE 42 ORBIT cam THHT'S WHHT HHPPENED TO ME This is a story in which a high-school girl who has never been able to catch a boy friend for herself tells of her wonderful experience las she calls itl. I feel miserable. Here it is, right after school, and on this very night the annual semester dance is to be held in the high school gym. H11 the girls are talking about this dance and the wonderful boys who are going to take them to it. Every girl I know has a date for this dance-but I haven't. I don't care to join in their silly conversation. Probably all they'd do if I would join in, is ask me a lot of embarrassing questions and rub it in because I have no date for the dance. Listen to them snickering, and right this moment I can see them looking at me out of the corners of their eyes. But let them have their fun! I suppose they think that I never have had a date! That's where they're wrong. Why only two weeks ago, Dick Thompson, the heart-throb of many a girl that I know, asked me, not any of these girls, to come to a party with him. !Dick was a graduate of this school last year.J I immediately accepted the invitation. On the night of the party, I put on my adorable, new, blue dress. I had new, classy, black pumps, and the sweetest blue ribbon in my hair. Dick called for me right on time, and he told me how sweet I looked! Hfter he helped me on with my coat, we started out for his friend's house-the place where the party was to be held. I had a marvelous time at the party! Our host had a victrola, and after the luncheon had been served, he played many of the most popular records. :We all danced. Hnd it was then that the fun really began! Hll the fellows there just couldn't wait to get a dance with me. I knew all the newest steps, and all the fellows said that I danced divinely. Hll the other girls looked at me with envy. How they wished that they would be as popular as I was! Hs it happened, none of these snooty girls were there. I surely wished that just one of them would have been there so she could see how popular I was. Plfter the dance, three of the handsomest boys insisted upon walking along with Dick as he walked home with me. !They wanted to go along because of me, of coursell Now, I wouldn't even consider telling these conceited girls all about my delightful experience. They wouldn't believe me anyway. Look at them standing in that circle talking about their won-da-ful boy friends. They're just trying to make me jealous! Humph! I'm way ahead of them anyway. Why should I care! I once had a date with Dick Thompson! losephine Schleicher 44 !8ll . w BEING H NEPHEW Being a nephew is not the worst thing in the world, especially when you have five uncles like some people have. But the uncle of whom I'm going to write, just to let everybody know what I think of him, is about the Worst thing that could happen to a nephew. Of course I wouldn't want him to see or hear what I've been saying about him. I really needn't worry though, he's so dumb he can't even read or write. Well, to make a long story short, he is of course my grandmother's son and my mother's brother, and he lives next door with my grandmother. It wouldn't be so bad if he lived in the next state, but right next door, I see plenty of him. In fact I have to take care of the poor fellow for hours each day, and I naturally get pretty tired of his presence. But considering the fact that he never pays for anything I ever do for him. but lets my grandmother pay me, and considering that every time I come near the place, he looks at my face and starts crying, fthe big sissyl and considering that when I play with him, he bites me, kicks me, pinches me, and gouges my eyes out, Cagain I say the big sissy D he isn't a bad sort of fellow, and I really get a big kick out of him at times, in more than one way. I really think I'd better stop kidding you people who are wasting your time reading this and start telling the truth. It really is the truth though, be- cause he's my little two-year old uncle. I don't think I fooled many of you anyway. Isn't that wonderful luck? Me, thirteen years older than him, and I have to show the respect due an uncle to that little goo-goo and da-da shrimp! Every- time I get a little rough with him, Mother interrupts with that stuff about show- ing him respect. Bah! I-Iumbugl I suppose I shouldn't be saying all these things, but it is awtully hard to go around calling the little brat Uncle ! Now that I've been saying some pretty awful things about my Uncle , I think I had ought to finish with a few of his better points, if possible. When I bring him candy or other delicacies, he might be nice to me all day. I get paid for taking care of him an hour or so during the day, which is a very good point. Hnd then sometimes he isn't as bad as I said he is, and can even be agreeable. So all in all, he's a pretty fair uncle. Hnyway, he can't punish his nephew like other uncles can. I really think if I read what I've writ- ten in this last paragraph often enough, I'll begin to like the little darling. Iohn Darcey 44 THE -42 ORB IT C823 DO YOU REMEMBER?

H HUMOROUS TBHGEDY For a week I had been all excited about the party because It hadn't ever been to very many parties, and this one was special. It was a Hallowe'en Party: and there were going to be boys there, too! Boys were strange creatures who made one giggle and feel rather shy. So this was going to be a get- acquainted party and-who knows?-it might be the beginning of big things! ' Of course, my hair just had to be curled! That was an attempt which I had never before made, and it must have taken me hours. Perhaps it would have been just as Well had I kept it straight. Finally the fatal day dawned. I have since come to the conclusion that Saturday night is a bad time for a party because one is held in such a state of excitement all during the uneventful day. On a school day there would at least be something to keep the mind occupied. In order to be ready at seven, I started primping at four o'clock! Ht last I was ready-spick and span from top to bottom and inside out! My admission price to this party was a box of cookies: and with that tucked under my arm, I started off. Hbout a block from my girl friend's house I stopped and put on a crazy little paper hat with an enormous feather flopping from the band. I thought that then surely I would be greeted by gales of laugh- ter instead of awkward courtesy. Hs I stepped up onto the porch, I didn't see any girls or boys in the living room: but nevertheless I rang the doorbell with great gusto. My gird friend's mother answered the bell and she stood there with such a peculiar look on her face that I thought, Oh, oh, there's funny-work a-foot! Trying to laugh and sound as if I knew that some trick was up, I said, Elm I early? Or are they all hiding in the other room, waiting to scare me to death? Suddenly she started to laugh and finally she managed to say, Why, you're late. The party was last night! I'm sure I don't know how I looked then: but I must have been a silly sight, standing there with that ridiculous hat perched over one eye and the box of Cookies under my arm. I laughed, too. I had to, even if I was thinking about the good fun I had missed. I shall never forget the razzing I received at school. Hll the boys asked me if I went to the party and wasn't it the best fun you ever had? That was the funniest thing that I remember ever happened to me, although at the time it didn't seem so funny, and I felt like crying instead of laughing.

If V 'T div 1 X I dfjffd mu Z 7 mfr? DUCK! ll DUCKS For several months I have been debating the release of this incident, but now the fact that I am impairing my health due to lack of sleep, I am forced to emit it. I hope the above will serve as an alibi if, on some dark and stormy night, I am accosted by either of the two gentlemen involved. It seems that there were two very enthusiastic duck hunters walking slowly through a marsh. The water having completely saturated the inside of their waterproof boots only added to the beauty of the day. Upon confronting a small lake, they decided the best way to trap any unsuspecting ducks would be to separate, circle the lake, and meet at the other side. The first hunter whistled merrily on his way while the second placed his decoys. Being ex- cellent woodsmen, they walked in perfect circles. Hfter several hours of check- ing his gun, walking, checking his gun, pouring water out of his boots, and checking his gun, the first hunter came upon a small flock of ducks. These ducks were so tame that they permitted him to come very close to them. I-le didn't want to take an unfair advantage of them, always the perfect sportsrnan, so he stopped at the incredible distance of sixteen feet three and threequarters inches, took careful aim, and fired. When the smoke cleared, it was Monday morning in the office of the principal of Watertown High. It was a dull Mon- day, as Mr. Landsverk sat, jack-knife in hand, slowly picking pellets out of a once fine set of decoys. The other gentleman present was blushing-beauti- fully. The moral of this story being: Don't count your ducks before they are shot-they might splinter.

Hs I ran in, my breathing in pants, H sea of faces met my glance, There were girls of all assorted sizes, Bowling for defense stamp prizes. Hs a girl walked by, I heard her mutter, That's the ninth straight ball I threw in the gutter, Such bowling form! In all my days I've never seen so many ways! Now try for a strike, now try for a spare. The little girl's language would make blue the air, The pinboys practically died in their pits, From laughing at so many 7-10 splits! Their attack on the pretzels was decidedly vicious, To them they tasted so very delicious. Hnd now they know just where they are at, Where there used to be air, there is fat! Hfter they're through with their gestures and poses, The owner now sighs as the door slowly closes. lust peace and quiet is all that I seek, Thank God, they're not bowling again 'till next week!

I hadn't a girl, hadn't a pal, Not even a tin-type car. I smothered my blues in a ten-cent coke, Drank a soda to wash it down. Hnd shuffled home thru the cold wet mist, Went to sleep with a lingering frown. I woke up early the following morn, The day seemed so lovely and bright. It made me forget the evening before, When I had Them Blues in the Night. Oops!

Cal Wear track shoes if possible. If the people in front of you are slow, you won't have any trouble getting over them. 2. Take advantage of opportunities afforded you when air raid sirens sound the Warning attack. Cal If in a bakery, grab some pie or cake. fbi If in a grocery store, grab a watermelon or something. Cc? If in a movie, grab a blonde. 3. If you find an unexploded bomb, always pick it up and shake it. maybe the firing pin is stuck. If that doesn't work, throw it in the fumace. The fire department will take care of the rest. 4. If an incendiary bomb is found burning in the building you are in. throw gasoline on it. You can't put it out anyhow, so you might just as well have a little fun. lf no gasoline is available, throw a bucket of water on it and lie down, you are dead. 5. Eat onions, limburger cheese, etc. before entering a crowded air raid shelter. It will prevent the discomfort of people crowding too closely. 6. Hlways get excited and holler bloody murder. It will add to the fun and confusion and it will scare the-CENSORED-out of the kids. 7. If you should be the victim of a direct bomb hit, don't go to pieces. Lie still and you won't be noticed. 8. Knock air raid wardens down if they start to tell you something. They always save the best seats for their friends anyway. 1973 1. Verbal victory 2. Eeeekll 3. Our contribution 4.

Hmateur Hour Gloating with pride in having accomplished their purpose, the high school students settled back into their auditorium seats. They were unusually gay and excited and a trifle dismayed at their unusual good fortune. The teachers rather reluctantly had consented to participate as contestants in an amateur hour. Yes, all that hidden talent, suppressed and undeveloped, was at last to be displayed for the benefit of the students. Little wonder then that an excited tremor overcast the auditorium that day. But wait, there it is! The show is on! The curtain spreads slowly dis- playing one by one the line of teachers fidgeting rather nervously as if con- victs headed for the death chamber. The wild shouts of students tended only to excite crimson faces and nervous chuckles, unsteady hands shakily attempted once more to adjust per- fectly centered ties, and straightened well groomed hair. The announcer, a rather scholarly looking young man, conducted his class with an authoritative air dealing assignments unscrupulously and un- mercifully. With but brief comment as to his record the pupil Conce a Speech teach- erl at the head of the line Cnot necessarily an H student? was introduced and after preliminary procedure, usually encountered at such contests, he was given his assignmnt. His duty was simply to recite Mary Had a Little Lamb. While clearing his throat and adjusting the mike he was in the process of gaining that formidable weapon audience contact and stalling for that tenseness of the audience which is so thrilling a part of one's speech. He be- gan in deep, rich, full tone, Mary had a little lamb. Bong-g-g. The gong! There must be an O. I. C.'er in the house. With that grace only characteristic of great speakers pupil number one retreated to his seat, a bit flushed but smil- ing graciously. The next contestant, a tall, well built, handsome man was engaged at the moment in smoothing his few treasured side locks so as to make himself presentable. When introduced, he lightly thumped up to the microphone smil- ing his best for his admiring public. With the aid of a water pistol his task was to hit three duck decoys at twenty paces or pay the consequences. Taking deliberate aim he made three direct hits. CDecoys must be his specialtyl. Scotland's favorite daughter who now teaches history Cthey wouldn't let her teach economicsl cleverly interpreted the highland fling while her little Vlfelsch friend Ca math teacherl beat the rhythm and whistled Loch Lommondf' The gayety of the two incensed the hilarity of the audience to unprecedented heights. Next came a youngish looking gent Cjust verging into the equatorial ex- pansion eral. H music teacher who was asked to imitate a small child. Purs- ing his lips he gently cooed and blushingly whispered pa-pa. Hll 'timidness left him when he followed up with a brief discussion on child psychology. The beaming physics teacher came through gloriously singing his own romantic and stimulating version of Home on the Range Cpossibly the electric rangel. On his own initiative he slipped in a little chat on Deficiency of ef- ficiency in high school children. The social problems glamour puss, not to be outdone, played her own tempting arrangement of the Russian Dance on the musical saw. The foot- ball candidates strangely grunted and groaned through the whole procedure. QThe coach's cynical smile was not to go unnoticed by those around him.J The announcer took his hand off what he thought was the microphone and after rendering apologies introduced the long, lanky biology teacher. Ht- ter imitating Iimmie Cagney and Greta Garbo, he slipped in an appropriate little pun. From force of habit the biology class roared and applauded. Moans were predominant among the remaining students. This ending the program, the curtain was lowered, and a hearty round of applause was given the teachers for their sportsmanship and cooperation. Thus ended the dream and I rolled out of bed prepared for another long tedious school day. loe Darcey 42 i993 Who's What Stars ot girl's basketball team-Otto H. Milton F.

He replied, Oh, I'm starving to death that's all. His friend said, Get up: I'll give you some beans. The peasant raised his head With a faint sign of interest. But you'll have to cook them yourself. Whereupon the peasant sank back into his grave. 41003 C-C-Corn While standing near the train entrance in a railroad station in Chicago not so long ago, a rather interesting incident disrupted my ever normal and somewhat boring life. I was acting rather nonchalant, evidently trying to give the impression that the rather gorgeous surroundings were not affecting my equilibrium. The setup was entirely new because after all I was just a small town boy removed for the first time from local environs. But to get on with the story: a rather elderly and confused looking gentle- man, well dressed except that some of his noon day meal was spattered over his vest, approached a shy looking, immaculate young lad in his late teens saying, Young man, can you t t t tell me wh wh when th th the ne next t t t train g-g-g-goes? The boy made no reply, looking no more abashed than previously, and apparently wanting to get away from the scene. Several times the old gentleman repeated the question, stuttering more furiously every time he repeated. Finally his countenance became stern and angrily he said, Go t-t-t-to th-th-the dickens, and walked off. Then I approached the fellow and said Why didn't you answer his question? That was rather rude of you. The boy stared at me momentarily and said, Do you th-th-think I wanted to to to g g g get a p p punch in th th the n n n nose? Beat me, Daddy! H farmer in Brazil owns some rich land. But he has no crops. Visitor: Don't you grow anything here? Farmer Cstolidlyl: Nothing, Visitor: Do you mean to say that if you planted coffee here, it wouldn't grow? Farmer: Oh, if you bothered to plant it, of course it Would. Beautiful. but Dumb In Washington, D. C., a beautiful but somewhat ignorant lady once ap- proached Dr. Piranha, Brazil's Foreign Minister, and asked, Mr. Hmbassador, what does your country produce? He bowed gently and replied, Diamonds and orchids, madame, for creatures as lovely as yourself. Classroom lokes On a quiz program in English, the announcer asked What is Water- town noted for? Marilyn Otto answered: Good basketball and football play- ers. When asked who Dido was, George Thompson replied: Wasn't she a dog? Mr. Kessler was telling some girls about the Conservation Club movie and urging them to come. It's going to be a hot movie-on forest fires. Hfter several unsuccessful attempts to draw a diagram on the board Ioe Donahue looked desperate. Miss Griffith: Would you like a straight edge, Ice? Ioe: No, but I could use a ruler. Doug: Why do you imagine Hitler always talks from a beer hall? Bob B.: Because he wants the people to think he's got something on tap. Mr. Starkey: Why is it a good policy for single men to go to war first? Little Voice: If they return matrimony won't seem so tough. 11013 ALUMNI n--L-- li ,,-1-1 ,..-- ,.- 'L--1 ...ff -,- .. ..... --v ' .-.,.. ..- T.f-1 ..- .1 ,L 11 ,... ...Q ,, - ....- -I l L-1 I b no 1 1-sv HID' .,.

Watertown AUTOGRAPHS AUTGGRAPHS AUTOGRAPHS SENIOR'S VHLEDICTORY I imagine you've been Wondering If we have some love for you Well, I can surely tell you this On the whole we really do. Not because you give detentions When we really weren't so bad, We know you didn't want to do it Hnd you're really very sad. Not because when arguing with you We can never win But to have our own ideas Is that such a sin? Not because you're so specific Do we all complain But to agree with you on everything Is really quite a strain. Not because you'd flop a senior In the busy month of May, To do the work of each assignment Would take a twenty-six hour day. Not because the work you give us Should be all in ink. But when we hand it in in pencil Must you raise that awful .. .. .. .. ..? Not because you give assignments That are twice their usual length To do them we'll just skip our meal, I-lnd every nite we'll pray for strength. But because you give us grades That have passed us yearly Dear Teachers I can truly say Yes, we love you dearly. NSK IH PRINTIN C OMPHN 0 Watertow Wisconsi
