Council were Ann Stangl, Eugene Westenberger, and Paul Otto. Myrtle Smith and Leander Willkomm help- ed plan the social events for the year. The sophomores had a fine repre- sentation in the glee clubs, band, orchestras, and the dramatic club. ln the final declamatory contest we find that two sophomore girls were contestantsg namely, Myrtle Smith and Joyce Woog. Harlan Da- luge participated in the final oratori- cal contest, and Alice Bast was on the debate team. Paul Freehauf, Herbert l-lackbarth, George Kircher, and Suzanne Pick were among the sophs on the Dust Pan staff. l paused again, trying to imagine what all these boys and girls looked like and how they acted when they 1936 were sophomores. My imagination failed me, and l continued to read: The baseball and track teams have not been picked. l was sorry not to find this information. Behold! l had reached the end of the article. After folding and putting the paper back into the pack, l got up and wandered on, still thinking about those sophomores of long ago and the numerous activities in which they took part.

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.

FI'CSl'ImCh lt is I934 at the World's Fair, and President Roosevelt has just arrived. As he walks down the Avenue of Flags, he meets a freshman from the West Bend High School. How do you do, Mr. President. l am a representative from West Bend High School and would like to show you the many activities and accomplishments of the freshmen. I should be very pleased to go with you. It seems l know several people from there and would like to see their work. Soon both are standing before a large building with Athletic Activi- ties written in huge letters over the doorway. Who are the boys that are stand- ing near that football field? the President asks. Oh, those are the boys that have gone out for intramural football. Let me see. That first boy is Bob Berger, and next to him are Walter Dick- mann, Jerome Winn, Sylvester Schlosser, and Elmer Puestow. Be- yond are some of the basketball players. The small fellow is Marvin Zarling, and on down the line are Robert Berger, Elmer Puestow, Jer- ome Winn, I-larry Marshall, and Oliver Endlich. l..et's go on a little farther, and l will show you one per- son of whom we have a right to be proud. See the girl over there? That is Betty Krieger, the girl ping-pong champion. Freshman Girls Top Row: H. Erler, J. Enright, L. Berres, B. Haug. M. Schmidt, A. Endlich, M. Freehauf, O. Frank, P.
