October Next! Underclassmen hurried to mirrors armed with combs, getting ready for their mug shots. At the same time seniors filled appointments with the local photographers for their gradua- tion pictures. A new note was added as students prepared to vote in the class elections. A mod- ern, electric voting machine was near the library door surrounded by campaign posters. Students waited anxiously, both to cast their important votes and to see how the Ucurtained box oper- ated. The queen, her court, gayly decorated floats and cars, and a general feeling of tenseness brought about our Homecoming. The loss to South Milwaukee was upheld by good sportsman- ship. Homecoming was carried over into a sec- ond night by the Homecoming Dance. The night of the Jr. Symphony brought bad news. Miss Monlux was attacked as she neared the school and spent the following five months in the hospital. T.B. Patch tests, now old stuff, were bravely faced by the freshmen and seniors. The 27th was a double-day for the seniors. Hoping for senior privileges they received the first report card of the year and attended Career Night in- vestigating the future.

'K gThm -L-,.- I September Polio - the worst attack felt by the United States also hit our community As a precaution. summer vacation was extended a week. Then, on September 12, many students entered the famil- iar stone buildings. Also in the cascade of stu- dents were wide-eyed freshmen who were new to the process of opening Waukesha High School for a new term. Finding homerooms. waiting in line to check out books and duplicating program cards constituted only a few of the many hectic moments. A top enrollment of 2430 students expressed the need of the proposed new Senior High School. To meet the increased population, more classrooms were opened in the Union and eight new teachers added to the faculty. School func- tions began with a victory. We won our first football game against Nathan Hale. Soon after- ward students rushed to the library for copies of the first play planned by Mr. Smith. Tryouts were begun on the 28th with hopes of sounding like Granny or 'tGramps. 'W ,. sign ,i if 'rr .1--' 1 1 - 3 I S 'f : I ? : 2 W u 1 l ' I Z , N e . 2 ' I i - z - - 8- l P I E .1 .
