Juniors A survey of prominent juniors and activities! Where would I get my material? A huge book on the shelf caught my eye. Who's Who, of course! I strug- gled and pulled at the monstrous Volume to get it in as convenient a position as possible. Why do we have to have assign- ments like this? I mumbled as I listlessly turned the first few intro- ductory pages. In a half-hearted manner I opened the book to the first page of activities. You can im- agine my surprise and delight in finding the juniors mentioned in al- most every activityl Enthusiastically I checked each one as I spied it. The result looked something like this: Band-The band contained many faithful junior members. Richard I-Ieidner was one of the officers of the Junior Musicians' Club. Basketball - Harold Warnkey, Mathew Gonring, and Wilford Pot- ter did their part in securing second place for West Bend in the Little Ten. Debates--The junior representa- tives on the team were Ruth Regner and Stephen O'lVleara. Olga Plisch- ounig and Richard I-leidner were al- ternates.

sophomores The time was 2069, and I was wandering through the ruins of the old West Bend High School. As I progressed through the decayed old building, l finally stumbled over a mass of sere yellowish papers. Upon looking through them, I came to one entitled The Activities of the Soph- omore Class of I933-34. The arti- cle attracted my attention, and I at once decided to read it. The first paragraph included the sophomore members on the football squad. I noticed that Otto Laufer, Erwin Werner, Richard Lonergan, I-Ierbert Fuge, and Paul Otto were among the boys. I started, Say! I bet that Charley Otto who lives down on Seventh Avenue is probably a great, great, great, great grandchild of this fellow about whom I am read- ing. With a chuckle I continued reading. In the B Basketball team, Herbert Hackbarth, George Wein- ert, Otto Laufer, and Paul Otto were the sophomore representatives in I934. I also noted a sentence re- ferring to the girls, which stated that they won second place in the basket- ball and baseball tournaments. I paused a moment to glance at the ruins about me and to think of all the boys and girls, who over ra hun- dred years ago, worked and played in this building.
