February Class Combining originality with good judgment, the February Class of 1935 will stand out as a class that was willing to experiment. Half of the seniors were planning what they would wear to the senior reception, the other half were feeling mournful because they could not go. Then the social committees of the February class stepped in and announced that instead of a reception for a minority there would be an informal party that all could attend. 'AA party instead of a reception! Why it's never been done before! said the minority. But what do we careiw retorted the other February seniors, so they went ahead and had their party and, inci- dentally, the best time of their lives. Yes, the February class would experiment. This class elected Arthur lVTelchiori, president, Edith Speerbrecker, vice-president, Doris Drum- mel, secretary, Harold Hibscher, treasurer, and Bill.Hancock, sergeant-at-arms. Quiet and un- pretentious, their oiiicers Worked for hours on the most minute detail. That is why their classmates elected them. They wished their offi- cers to be like that. Alice Hanson won first honors with her high scholastic average, and with her kindness, co- operation, and sense of humor, she won the friendship of her classmates. The same can be said of Edith Speerbrecker, who won second honors, and whose versatility is attested by her activity in lVIerrill club as well as in the senior orchestra. Doris Rummel is well known for the brilliant work which won her third place in scholarship. Calmness, capability, in- dustry, these are the outstanding characteristics of honor students. A When the students returned after Christmas vacation, a new tension was apparent. Seniors were rushing about snatching hurried confer- ences with Dr. Fox, talking to Miss Davis about colleges, trying to find a little time for their studies, thinking of what would happen if they didn't pass that exam, and every once in a while glancing mournfully at the trophy case and thinking that in a few short weeks their sojourn at West would be over. Re hearsals took timeg the graduation program had to be flawless. Mr. Shutes needed help in training those new ushers, too. Amazingly graduation day Was here. And then, all the examinations over, seniors were saying good bye to their undergraduate friends. Parents and other guests watched as the sen iors marched into the auditorium, while the chorus sang under the direction of Mr. Gola W. Coffelt. The Reverend Irvin Maurer and Arthur Melchiori, class president, spoke on the difficulties and opportunities of the new life which the seniors were soon to encounter. After the class honors had been read, and the roll called, each senior received his high school diploma. l6l tary, Michael Bauman, treasurer, and Arthur THOMAS WILDRICK . . . president of June graduating class . . . president of his junior Class . . . prom king . , . twice member of student council . . . track and football player . . . keen executive. . . good organizer . . . appointed ex- cellent class committees . . . showed freedom from partisanship in class affairs . . . willing to try new ideas such as wearing caps and gowns for graduation . . . delivered excellent address to senior class . . . conducted his class in quiet and orderly fashion . . . keen student . . . friend of all students . . . These are the reasons that Tom VVildrick has been one of the most popular and capable class presidents who has attended West Side. L une Class ln February, the graduating class of 1935 elected Thomas Wildrick,i president, Kenneth Stoper, vice-president, Nancy Anacker, secre- The June class triumphantly presented Tommy, this year's senior play, it was highly successful and very well liked by the student body. The class will be remembered for its high VVebber, sergeant-at-arms. This class will be remembered for two things: good politics, effi- ciently handled by some of our better known experts on political chicanery, and caps and gowns. The battle over caps and gowns was a vigoro'us one, to say the least. Since the students were not allowed to discuss the sub- ject in the class meeting, personal lobbying, with charges and counter-charges, libels and angry assertions, held the stage. When all the shooting was over, however, it was discovered that caps and gowns had won by a large majority. The class committees, appointed by the presi- dent, were able and quietly efficient. They did their work quickly, putting forth their best efforts. Under their direction, the gradu- ation was successfully planned and managed. The officers worked wisely and well, thus confirming the intelligence of the class that elected them. The social committee, headed by Dorothy Dona' vin, managed the social affairs exceedingly well. Under this group's direction, the class cele- brated its graduation with all due gusto. scholarship. This year, Aaron Sweed won high honors. Aaron should be congratulated par- ticularly for this accomplishment, because he was not only excellent scholastically, but also active in many of West's organizations. The same can be said of the others who won honors this year. This was the first class in which the Na- tional Honor society members were selected by a definite system instead of by a vote of the faculty. The class seemed very well pleased both with the new methods and with the results obtained. About June first, the seniors began to think seriously of graduation. Reviews began with little studying being done by the graduates. Clothes were purchased, caps and gowns fitted, Annuals distributed, programs and tickets sent out, then exams . . . On June twenty-first, be- fore beaming parents and proud relatives, the long line of graduates filed in. After the pro- cession, the honors were read, and, as each student filed across the stage, he received the diploma which signified a suc:essful comple- tion of his high school career. VIOLET ANDERSON-Quiet but C brilliantl shy but friendly, Violet did all she attempted well. There wasn't an alge- bra problem that could stump her.

This year the club's calendar has seen few, but by far more significant activities. The first event was tryout day, involving monologues and character portrayals which resulted in the admission of many new members. Initiation followed with the usual ceremony, songs, side-shows, and comedy. The Christmas play began with the customary tryouts. Painstaking practice resulted in an amusing and highly satisfy- ing play given for three performances. The club's climaxing production was the stellar play, Seven Keys to Baldpate, This play involved more than the usual plans, worry, and work. There was cast-picking, part-memorizing, practising, re-casting, re- molding, scene-setting and many hours' work after school. The presentation was decidedly encour- aging. There was an expectant audience waiting as the orchestra played. The music stopped, lights were dimmed . . . quiet. Curtain! And another Sock and Buskin hit makes history.

Lecture: The Classical World The highlight of the first of four Latin Club programs was a skit entitled The Follies of Latin Grammar. It dealt with the trials and tribulations of all Latin students attempting to master grammar. The club elected officers in traditional style by voting from the sheepfold in class groups after taking the auspieies. The Saturnalia, a Roman holiday char- acteristic of both Thanksgiving and Christ- mas, followed. The merriment of the slaves was depicted in street scenes. The presentation of awards for the best sight translation in Vergil, Cicero, and Caesar, with a special award for an Ode of Horace's, concluded the Club's activities for the year. A travel talk on the classical world added interest. l41l Consul Virginia Hasselquist LATIN CLUB Rofw 2-V. Anderson, B. Bulger, C. Owen. Rofw I-N. Herro, V.

If you enjoy debating, if you enjoy public speaking, if you enjoy intelligent discussions on current events . . . in fact, if you enjoy anything intellectual, you'll enjoy Athena. Debates . . . Athena holds one at every meeting. Speeches . . . Athena has a speaker at almost every meeting who talks on school affairs or current problems. Dis- cussions . . . Athena holds an open forum after each debate. Those who listen may then ask questions or express their views on the subject. Other activities which help make school life more enjoyable for many Athenians are plays and stunts at meetings, joint plays with Hesperia, teas, and other social events. Athena hold its meetings on alternate Fridays. All meetings are open to the student body. . Qliicers, who are elected every semester, form an executive council and Work with the sponsors, Miss Helen Owen and Nliss Margaret Nelson. l42l Hesperia suggests rivalry-and rivalry suggests Athena! Age-old competitors, these two debating societies hold the interest of the school as they keep neck-to-neck in their race. Though it was once rumored that the two would combine into one organiza- tion, they have each attained such a height of popularity that to combine the two would rouse strenuous objections. Glancing at the calendar of Hesperia, one can readily see Why this club will survive . . . Our Lady? Lace, a play given by the new members, was presented in October. The same month, Mr. Willard Worbe, authority on old age pensions, gave an interesting talk on the subject. Debates held the center of other programs, with speech contests and pantomimes for variety. To top it all, Hesperia and Athena joined hands for the Lincoln program which was given in the main assembly. Splendid performances were given by jack Martin, who portrayed Lincoln, Solomon Wexler, a young Northerner, and Eugene Lew, the dying Confederate soldier. Hesperia and Athena-alone each has made an admirable name-together they can do wonders. Rofw 3-C. Seraphim, J. Ettli. Ro-w 2-A. Sweed, A. Rubin, R. Radue. Rufw I-L. Radtke, J. Knoblauch, M.

The annual Merrill Mixer causes much excitement, since boys are invited. Since each girl may invite as many as she wishes, some boys had their names handed in by twenty different girls. Then, what event caused sleepless nights . . . nights spent in trying to create an original costume? The masquerade, of course! Every one had to wear a mask to be admitted, and every one had loads of fun. Impromptu acts were presented, and new talent Was found hidden in shy little freshmen. lllarge Roge presided during 1935. Originality was the outstanding characteris- tic of her administration. For the studious, Merrill Club gives scholarships in English and algebra to members who pass the club competitive examinations. Nlerrill is the oldest club in school, for it was your sisters' and your mother's as well as yours. Rofw 3--E. Birkenheier, L. Kraft, K. Bowers. Rofw 2-E. Engersbach, M. Roge, N. Anacker. Rofw I-P.

Welles meetings are scenes of lively dis- cussions, impromptu speeches and, last but not least, refreshing refreshments. The club is divided into groups, or squads. Each squad has a leader and under her guidance is absorbed in its own small problems, which grow from the larger pro- blems faced by the club. These have a threefold aspect: first, programs to meet the present needs of present-day girls, second, social services, third, social affairs. The latter have their climax in the Welles- Norris Dance, held in the ballroom of the Y. W. C. A. lnter-society events help to bring Welles girls into contact with Girl Reserves from all parts of the city. The annual roller- slcating party, suppers, breakfasts, and swimming meets are all part of the mem- bers, social life. Gracious in manner, impartial in judg- ment, ready for service: herein is embodied the Welles girl's code which stands before her as a constant reminder and inspiration. NORRIS PROSPECTS Rofw 2-F. Rahr, J. Marx, A. Hayek. Rofw I-G. Dunlap, F. Schoonenberg, Carl Strelitzer. An unusual group of boys, which in- cludes many of the presidents of other school clubs, comprise the personnel of Norris club. Why do these leaders join this organiza- tion? Because in Norris discussions school problems are thrashed out and the leaders can carry the suggested ideas to their clubs and the school. Norris membership was restricted to twenty-five boys this year in order to give members an equal chance to participate in the activities. The yearly routine includes a Welles- Norris dance, charity work at Thanksgiving and Christmas, participation in Hi-Y activi- ties, and weekly meetings. The fall semester's topic was crime, and the members reveled in heated discussions on the subject. The principal project of the second semester was the introduction of motion pictures during lunch periods. Since spring weather dampened this under- taking, the work will be carried on next winter. Mr. Howard Aker, club adviser worked with president Carl Strelitzer the first semester. Frank Schoonenberg, the past semester's leader, deserves credit for in- troducing the cinema project. I44 Freshman and sophomore boys, pros- pective school leaders and Norris members compose the membership of this club. Current problems of civic and national interest are discussed by this group at bi- weekly meetings held at the homes of mem- bers. Frequent speakers acquaint the boys with diversified educational and entertain- ing topics, the discussion of which result in lively and orderly impromptu debates in which all members present take part. Since the Norris Prospects are associated with the Hi-Y, the members promote pro- jects originated at the local Y.M.C.A. The club's semi-annual meeting at the Y.M.C.A. determines the group's semester ping-pong champion. Under the leadership of Mr. Maurice W. Moe, instructor of English, who has sponsored the club since its founding four- teen years ago, the club functions in good order and does a great deal toward produc- ing leaders and scholars in the school. The presidents during the past two semester were James Templeton and Harry Levin, respectively. Ro-w 3-D. Gilbert, J. Benson. Rofw 2-H. Eberle, J. Kellogg. Rofw 1-J. Templeton, H. Levin. 1 l I-I. E.

Home Economics Club is the only organization in school which em- phasizes the arts of the household. Boys as well as girls can be seen proudly displaying their first biscuits. Until last year, only girls were eligible for member- ship, but now all who aspire to be bachelors can realize their fondest ambitions and be- come skillful in the fine arts of domesticity. The cooking room is always a scene of white caps, crisp white aprons, and ex- pectant faces fthey donlt know what to expect after mixing recipesj. With apo- logies to Miss Isabel Baldwin, let us hasten to say everything is run smoothly and efficiently. The members are getting ex- pert training in household cleanliness, for there is never an untidy spot or a dust- covered table. Cheerfulness p resid es. Orderliness rules. Cleanliness predomin- ates.

This is due to the fact that each member is a member not only in name but also in deed. The emblem system is an important fea- order to earn perform some ln this way, ture of Science Club. ln an emblem, members must beneficial duty for the club. not only one but several emblems can be earned. Miss Harmon, faculty member, is the sponsor of Science Club. Under her guid- ance, the club had a successful year with Marshall Arrieh and Aaron Sweed, presi- dents of the first and second semester, respectively. lVfany interesting events occurred during the past year in Science Club. Bob Barton spoke on Scientific Uddities, and Mr. Ehl- man spoke on Music and Sound. Then to give themselves a rare treat, the members visited the workshop of the Public Museum. Chiefly interested in the promotion of scientific knowledge and training, the club proficiently accomplishes its purpose. ART Rofw 3-S. Shaffer, M. Schollmeyer, L. Kuem- merlein. Rofw 2-M.

Puppets, oils, and pastels, daubed with humor and gossip, paint a picture of each meeting. Under the supervision of Miss Amy Beyer, art teacher, the club is brought to order by Pauline Oliphant, president, and Lucille Kuemmerlein, vice-president-re- corded by Maxine Oliphant, secretary- constantly dogged for dues by Marion Schollmeyer, treasurer-and kept in order by Morris Fagin, sergeant-at-arms. West Division is kept informed of the club's doing by Shirlie Schaefer, club announcer. The Cliphant twins, M axine and Pauline, are largely responsible for the be- ginning of the club and the place it now holds among Westls organizations. When summer comes 'round, Art Club members gayly pick up paper and charcoal and trip out to nature's woodlands for a bit of sketching. The success of the picnic held last summer is only one evidence of their good times. I4 CAM ERA Once at every dance the line of Wall- Howers is reduced to a minimumg once at every dance the floor is crowded with couples, once at every dance the sponsors smile benignly, believing the affair to be a success . . . Answer: The Camera Club re- presentative is getting ready to take a pic- ture. This is but one of the many services that the club performs for the school. Taking pictures for both the Comet Newspaper and Annual is another of the cameramen's activities. The club has a special portion of the bulletin board in front of the Main where they post pictures of interest to the student body. The members of Camera Club not only take their own pictures but develop them as well. This is excellent training for those who expect to continue their career as photographers. The Camera Club has been working under the leadership of Mr. Joseph Riha, chemistry instructor. W. Trost, A. Kumm, R. Harder f ,.x ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Life! Actionl the Athletic As- sociationl This association has the largest mem- bership of any school organization. At the beginning of each year, the as- sociation begins by offering two election tickets. This is an exciting occurrence, since representative students are listed on each, and many a West sider is puzzled as to whom he should choose. Campaign managers add to the excitement by putting up their best sales talks, and it is a daily occurrence to see someone exhausted after being the victim of one of these talks. A11 in all the elections are clean and sportsmanlike, characteristic of the associa- tion. This year, the results were as follows: president, Harry Horwitz, football star, vice-president, Ben Ollman, sports editor of the Annual, secretary, Marge Steuber, president of the Girls Athletic Associationg treasurer, Bill Reega, popular choiceg serge- ant- -arms, Emil Damjanovic, squad star.

Its sponsor, Miss Elsie Peters, deserves endless praise for her fine work in making the G. A. A. the large and popular organization it now is. The duties of the Athletic Association are numerous, but they are always per- formed in such a way that they are deserv- ing only of good criticism. lllany faculty members are responsible for the success of the association. Coach Smith deserves an abundance of credit for West Side's football teams. Coaches Sig- gelkow and Gerber are responsible for the dynamic basketball teams. Coach Kurath's Cross Country squad has had a successful season. Coach Gerber's fencing team has progressed rapidly, likewise Coach Han- senys gym and swimming eams. One can readily see that the work of the Athletic Association is not of small measure. vu'-oM'x.rv-- ' 'qv- ' fc in-,Ju 9-K..5S,w-A., qw qs-:ga QQ-'LD FOOTBALL HOP Right foot-left foot-side-back-one, two, three, dip. No, not our daily dozen, but snatches of instructions given by Miss Theo Donnelly, social adviser, in her dancing lessons to the football heroes. V This year it was really the Football Hop, for in the past, the squad members who were unable to dance did not attend. It was only natural, however, that after Miss Donnellyls lessons this year, it was hard to keep the boys away. The dance programs caused a consider- able buzz of conversation. Designed by Jimmy Van Horn, football captain, they harmonized perfectly with the occasion. The cover design was that of a player in action. The Hop is always the climax of the fall season. It gives February class members a chance to enjoy a final social fling before they are graduated. On the other hand, it is the first chance for freshmen to attend a school affair. ln this manner, the Hop served a double purpose. The committee responsible for the success of the Hop this year, included Joe Lom- bardo, A1 Novara, Howie Rathbun, Mollie Raskin, Jimmie Van Horn, and Art Weber. SENIOR The February senior reception this year was an unusuals and charming farewell party for the graduates. The decorations were very attractive. The tables were exquisitely laid with White covers and were lighted by the soft glow of white candles, between which there were lovely bouquets of white flowers. Every- one enjoyed the refreshments, served under the supervision of Miss Isabel Baldwin, head of the Household Arts department. There were quaint folk dances in which the seniors participated with great zest. After the folk dances, however, they re- verted to the modern methods of dancing. l49l PARTY When asked, they could not decide as to whether folk dancing was more enjoyable than modern dancing. Then came the treasure hunt, the prize feature of the evening. After seniors found their clues, hidden in obscure corners of the girls' gym by llliss Theo Donnelly, chair- man of social affairs, they ran rampant throughout the staid old school, searching for the bags of chocolate candy wrapped in gold tissue. Besides the hectic treasure hunt, there were games, directed by Mr. Edwin O. Hoppe, head of the Physical Education de- partment of the lVIilwaukee public schools. JUNIOR PROM if Murals of woodland and garden corners covered the walls. The Howers looked so real, one could almost sense their delicate aroma . . . and the green foliage swaying overhead made it seem more like a garden party than a modern dance in our own girl's gymnasium. The decorations for the prom were more beautiful than ever before. Everyone murmured admiringly: f'What could be more appropriate than to deck the gym in the garb of spring! Couples wandered in a softly lighted rustic garden, under the shadows of blos- soming trees. The soft, melodious strains of Ted Riedeberg's orchestra added to the atmosphere of the evening. Cool and poised, the prom queen, lVIiss Jane Davies, graciously led the receiving i50l line, aided by her proud and handsome king, Paul Hassett. According to one of West's most de- lightful traditions, there was a grand march, headed by the king and queen. All who desired participated in this climaxing and colorful event of the evening. Nliss Theo Donnelly, director of social affairs, presided. Everyone looked forward eagerly to the refreshments, served by an able committee, indeed, the punch bowl corner was the most popular throughout the evening. As in previous years the Junior Prom was the crowning event of the social year. All who attended will remember with pangs of regret that it cannot be experienced over again. l WELLES-NORRIS DANCE Soft lights, softer music, several hours of tripping fantastically, but none too lightly, with the one-and-only . . . these were but a few of the many thrills enjoyed by the host of West Siders attending the Welles- Norris dance. A social highlight of the year, the Wel- les-Norris Dance is made possible by the joint efforts of Welles and Norris, two as- sociations connected respectively with the Girl Reserves and the Hi-Y. Held November twenty-fourth at the Y.VV.C.A. ballroom, this year's dance, gracefully ushered in the social season. The first dance of the year, it occupied a high place on the school's social calendar . . . and gives everyone an opportunity to find out exactly who is paired with whom. Afer a comparatively quiet three months, the dancers found the music of Howie 'Weiss' orchestra enchanting, and the punch a Ia Crmrighl refreshing. ' The joint committee responsible for the success of the affair was composed of the following members: Eva Carlson, Mary Evans, Nadine Flader, Jerome Aronson, George Dunlap, and Eugene Lew. MIXERS The mixers were one of the most delight- ful features of a very successful social year at West. Their gay informality attracted larger crowds than ever. ' As one entered the girls' gym one im- mediately caught the joyous, infectious spirit that pervaded the whole room and shed one's studious exterior acquired during the week. The music starts, someone dashes quick- ly across the Floor to sweep a certain some- one away and into the rhythm of the music. We were very fortunate in having Miss Iulia Kuhlig at one of the mixers in the fall. She came to teach us the Continental, and the venture was quite successful, 'zon- sidering the time of instructions. Before the Christmas mixer was held, it was decided that the benefits were to go l52l to charity. Those who desired danced the Virginia Reel and the Square Dances in the boyls gym. Mr. Hiram Perkins CM1'. Raymond lVIcCroryl, officiated at these dances. There were some ,particularly charming participants dancing the old- fashioned way. One young ladyl' was particularly fetching in knee-length dress, heavy oxfords, topped by a coiffure of short red hair. Another young farmer wore high heels, blue overalls and had long curly hair. Rather incongruous attire but it was the fashion in the country at that time. In the spring Nliss Theo Donnelly taught us the Americano, a simpler dance than the Continental, and very enjoyable. Though our mixers were few and far between, we enjoyed what we had, and realize that they were an improvement on mixers of other days. SENIOR PLAY Senior girls picture themselves heroines, senior boys sigh when they think of playing opposite that one-and-only, and Mr. Wil- liam Warner, senior play sponsor, tears his hair when he remembers that the play must be completely produced in less than a month. Tryouts! Excitement ran high as many seniors responded. A great array of talent made the final cast the result of careful and considerate choice. Rehearsals! Gerald Tonkonongy taking lessons in the fine art of love . . . Ken Stoper and Bessie Dalecky discussing lines . , . Joyce Zentmeyer helping Bob Knuth with crossword puzzles . . . Dorothy Dona- vin threatening to go temperamental . . . Mr. Warner on the verge of a nervous collapse! !53l Production! Last minute corrections made everywhere!

The medal is the oldest award of its kind in Milxvaukee, and so much a part of West Side that even the attempt to abandon it would cause much comment. lVlr. Charles Paeschke, senior, is the founder of this medal, and his son, Charles Paeschke, junior, one of its recipients. Soon after the medal was awarded him, he died. The senior Nlr. Paeschlce continued the practice of awarding the medal as a memorial to his son. The entire student body grieved over the death of Mr. Paeschlce, senior, on April 30, 1935. However, his name will not be forgotten, for the Paeschke llledal will be awarded to our valedictorian each year. Aaron Sweed leads the procession of honor students. Character, leadership, ser- vice . . . he is truly worthy of the medal. His 'remarkable attainments in high school will be remembered by all who know him. Aaron has been monitor of room 116 and of row 2. He has served as president of Science Club, Hesperia Debating society, and as vicefpresident of the student council. As a freshman, Aaron was elected home- room representative. He has also been a Comet reporter, and a member of both the orchestra and Stamp club. With all of these activities to his credit, Aaron was able to maintain an average of 96.37 for four years.

A few Weeks before graduation, a faculty meeting is held, at which a committee, previously chosen, submits the names of seniors Whom they recommend for the National Honor society. Thirty of the highest are chosen to be represented on the society. The students are chosen for qualifications of service, scholarship, and c h a 1' a c t e r. Qnly a few tenths of a point separated the first three. honor pupils of the February graduating class. They were all girls, and all members of the science course. First honors Went to Alice Hanson, with an average of 94.9. i Edith Speerbrecher Won second place with an average of 94.5. Third in the class, Doris Rummell, had an average of 94.3. Aaron Sweed led the procession of honor students in the June class. His was an average of 96.37, which entitled him to the highest possible scholastic award, the Paeschke Medal.

Students appointed to the society are eligible to try for scholarships. In this Way, many have an opportunity to attend higher schools of learning. This year, eighteen juniors were selected, thirteen sophomores and five freshmen. Leading the juniors are Sylvia Klink and Richard Jacques. Solomon Wexler and Harry Levin Won first and second honors in the sophomore class. Betty Cardin led the five freshmen. Diligent study is necessary, for excellent averages must be had in order to be eligible for membership in this organization. The Local Honor society is composed of students who have proved their ability as scholars. An added incentive for them to do better each year is the National Honor society. At the close of the school year, a very impressive ceremony was held for both Local and National Honor societies. It was during this ceremony that the honor students were acknowledged by their class- mates. .I 1 FRANKLIN SMITH . . . editor of the Comet, president of the student council, president of Science Club, member of the band, active in al- most every major activity in the school. He was willing to experi- ment. COMET Comets today! . . . What excitement this simple statement causes! The Comet Newspaper is the student organ. ln this paper the students are given an opportunity to express their opinions, a fact which accounts for its great popularity. When the school elected Franklin Smith editor-in-chief of the Comet Newspaper last year, they entrusted him with one of the most important most difficult student assignments. From inexperienced 'mate- rial, Franklin had to build a staff that could edit a newspaper. In three weeks, this staff was whipped into shape, and the first issue of the Comet of 1934-35 main- tained its tradition as one of the Hnest of school papers. The staff . . .

When the Comet Senior Annual was planned, it was suggested that the theme be the nationalizing influence of West Division. This theme has been emphasized by the division pages between each section, symbolizing the major nations as represented at West side. These sepa- rate pages make the book a Whole in thought just as the immigrants coming to the United States constitute the citi enry of our country. The book introduces several new and interesting features. Colorful division pages, seniors, biographical sketches., and a literary section, resulting from the efforts of lVIiss Bertha Goes, literary advisor for the Annual. Mrs. Florence Pulver deserves the thanks of the whole staff for her aid as general adviser, as do Miss Marion Witmer, editorial adviser, Miss Madge Anderson, art adviser, and Mr. Howard Jordan, business adviser, for their invaluable as- sistance.

For the First time in the history of West Division High School, the senior class officially voiced its opinion con- cerning the election of the Annual editor and business manager of the book. The committee chosen for the purpose elected Lucille Pegis, editor, and lldargaret Seifert, business manager. It was agreed upon between Lucille Pegis and John Marx that, should one be chosen editor, the other would become as- sociate. John Marx, the associate, is res- ponsible for many of the new develop- ments in the Annual. Jane Allard was chosen literaiy editor, with Eugene Lew as her assistant. Benn Ollman was again made sport editor. Be- cause of her athletic abilities, Katherine Bea was an obvious choice as editor of girls' sports. This is the editorial board of the Annual.

It is here that many a topic has been planned, assembled and completed. Here many a fatal exam has been marked by a teacher taking advantage of the quiet sanctuary. Here many a person has spent hours poring over last-minute references before an exam, or hastily thumbing a thick encyclopedia in post-haste search for ma- terial. The library can truly be called the most enjoyable room in our school. With sur- roundings made all the more agreeable and conducive to study by the presence of potted green flowers and cactig With walls de- corated by interesting placquesg with busts of world-famous generals, orators and literary men gazing down at youthful scholars, students and faculty are endowed with a library, as ellicient and complete, comparatively, as lVlilWaukee's larger public libraries. With these assets, and including the able supervision of Miss lVlary Tesvnik, libra- rian, it is of little wonder that our library has assumed such an important and signi- ficant place in student affairs. 21 LIBRARY raft?

Rofw I-John Knaack, Vern Tenney. l63l An important unit in the school mecha- nism is the book store. Miss Ada Parsons, faculty adviser, is responsible for the success of the store. Cf course, the attendants are indispensable, and they work for our convenience alone. Each morning, every evening after school, and during the latter half of their lunch hours, these boys keep shop. Upperclassmen leave the book store exu- berantly, a couple of extra coins jingling in their pockets, while freshmen enter to dis- cover that they can save money by buying second-hand books. The book store is a place of memories. When one is standing in line, one merely needs to glance around the wall to get the Hlow-down!! on any student, for there is a biography of practically everyone scratched hastily on the Walls by some unknown admirer. Students who desire to Work in the book store are asked to fill out applications. They are then chosen for certain qualifica- tions, such as good scholastic average, honesty, dependability, and efficiency. CADETS QFFICE PCDRCE In efficiency and merit, the cadets of VVest Division have repeatedly proven their value. A body primarily devoted to main- taining order in the halls, its services have extended into channels other than that of hall duty. llr. Aker, cadet sponsor, has conscien- tiously endeavored to create a cadet body above reproach and worthy of highest praise. The organization is directed by eight individual captains, one for each period. The captains for the respective periods were Carl Strelitzer, George Dun- lap, Joseph Gaspar, Martin Heck, Carl VVentland, Jane Allard, Virginia French and Frederick Rahr. Through their cheerful donation of time and energy, the cadets have succeeded in making West Division an excellent example of an efficient student democracy. . Ro-w 3-M. Heck, C. Strelitzer, J.

Gnly a few of their numerous duties are answering phone calls, directing visitors, and checking absences. VVork in the office is excellent training for girls who intend to have a business career, for it teaches them oliice methods, promptness, and the value of courtesy. Ofiice monitors must always be ready to aid anyone, and must be willing to forfeit free periods. Surely they deserve recog- nition from both faculty and students, to whose interests they unselfishly devote a great deal of their time. CAFETERIA Rofw 4-L. Seramur, M. Herro, M. Pearlman, G.

STAGE CREW Stage Crew is an example of two words more significant than they appear to be. With responsibility for regulating lighting effects, building up sets, manag- ing curtains, keeping the entire stage sys- tem a well organized and efficient unit, the stage crew is as important as it is necessary. lVIr. Martin, faculty sponsor, spends time and patience and energy in shaping every possible stage facility for use. Stu- dent aids are Jimmy Church, Bob Klu- bertanz, John Gaylord, Dewey Sharpe, Bob Fisher, Alfred Toy, and Don McLean. Lights go out, curtains up, the play begins!

MUSIC With a flare of drums, a blast of bugles, and a curt nod from the drum major, the West Division marching band appears. In contrast, the orchestra produces a finished rendition of a Beethoven Sym- phony, and the a cappella choir in black robes chants sacred songs. Opportunity knocks more than once at Westis doors, for the study of music is not limited to the above organizations. The music department also offers har- mony, music appreciation, two choruses, a junior and a senior orchestra, and two bands. I6 It has been said that music self- played is happiness self-made. Students partaking in the various classes not only derive pleasure for themselves, but, in turn, transmit it to others. This is proven by the spontaneous approval of the audience at the Annual Band and Orchestra Concert which is under the capable supervision of Mr. Earl D. Rainier and lVIr. Gola VV. Coffelt. An outstanding feature of this year's concert was the presentation of the West Division High School Nlarch composed and directed by Arthur Hayek, a member of both band and orchestra. Rofw 3-D.

FOOTBALL REVIEW Although severely handicapped by the loss of many graduates, among whom were Kallas, Steuber, and Barksdale, Coach Smith produced an aggregation second to none, insofar as fight, pep, and Willingness to play the game fairly was concerned. Led by captain elect Van Horn, the veterans returning to the roster were Dave Zorn, Ted Tanin, jimmy Bruins, Johnny Davies, Al Navara, Marvin Holz, and Howie Rathbun. The Redmen showed exceptional ability and surpassed all ex- pectations by placing fourth in the cir- cuit, losing only two games. Captain Jimmy Van Horn The line problem, which caused much consternation, due to light and inexpe- rienced material, was solved' by shifting Art Schneider, backfield man, to center, Gene Neunes, freshman end, to guard, and lVIeyer Goldberg, another hefty sopho- more, to the other guard position. The tackle posts were capably handled by Emil Damjanovic, sophomore, Ed Walters and Harry Hurwitz, senior reserves. Johnny Davies at running half, Al Navara at blocking half, Jimmy Bruins calling signals, with Jimmy Van Horn and Johnny Thanos alternating at the fullback station, rounded out a Well- balanced, successful eleven. !72l of y ,, y tr B Rofw 2-Manager Mikkelsen, Post, jutila, Lombardo, VVildrick, Giese, Hafenbrack, Volbrecht, Dicks, DeBarge, Winch, Anacker, Kramer, Manager Hanke.

I7 FOOTBALL PREVIEW While giving Nick Lamek and George Carley, last year's reserve centers, the call at the pivot position, Coach Smith is not overlooking the possibilities of groom- ing such boys as Butenhoff, Dick, De- Barge, Rensnik, Anacker, and several others, due to their splendid work on the freshman-sophomore teams. All in all, we predict a closely cog tested 1936 football season, with VVest taking a leading hand in affairs. WEST-LINCOLN Spasmodic cheers . . . tense moments . . . the opening game.

BASKETBALL REVIEW Dogged by injuries sustained during practise sessions by his first string guards, and handicapped through ineligibilities and lack of height, Coach Gerber frankly did not expect much of his 1934-'35 squad. In working with his available material, however, he turned out a quintet that West had every reason to be proud of. Though Lamek and Reavely were slated to replace Peters and Wastak at the guard strongholds, their unexpected injuries made necessary the shifting of mf W We 4 I7 Co-captains Minkley and Dalecky. Hassett and Palmer into their posts. This move was a successful one. The combi- nation of Dalecky and Minkley as co- captain forwards was broken up when Dalecky stepped out of the ranks in his last semester, leaving quite a hole to be filled alternately by Reavely, Burkhardt, Holschuh, and Schneider throughout the rest of the season. The pivot position was admirably handled by Guendert, who ranked among the crack men in the conference. Ro-w 3-Edwards, Garrity, Dzurek, Leeman, Tannin, Kellner, Seraphim, Strom, Schneider.

With only a small crop of returning lettermen, Coach Gerber is pinning his 1935-'36 basketball hopes on the possi- bilities of graduates from the reserves and intra-mural teams. The loss of Dalecky, Minkley, Luck, Guendert, Burkhardt, and several others, through graduation, leaves the aggregation with only a few expe- rienced players. The outlook, however, is not all dark and pessimistic. Led by captain-elect Jim Reavely, the squad possesses potentialities that fairly sizzle, besides Reavely, Hassett, i i- BASKETBALL PREVIEW Schneider, Davies, Taritas, and Lamek, returning to the roster, Coach Gerber will receive the services of such new- comers as Wutti, Billings, Ketchum, Ed- wards, Deuter, Barnes, Casey, and Harr. Wutti, lanky newcomer, will in all probability take over the duties of Guen- dert at center, adding the height which was so noticeably missing in previous seasons. Another worry besetting the coaching staff is the lack of good ma- terial at the forward positions, and the oversupply of guards. l79l itil ,srl Rofw 4-Osborne, Linde, Scheiro, Holmes, Smith, Entinger, Armstrong, Reigler, Watson, Schwartz- burg, Steib, Grow, Milazzo, Kapinkin.

'vii.R11.':'1f1wff ' ' , . s ' Captain Pete Barksdale Division are becoming less and less in- terested in the sport in recent years, due to the stepping out of such stars as Kell- ner, Barlcsdale, Horn and several others of similar prowess. Beginning his 1935 season with a small, select group of consistent perform- ers, Coach Smith anticipated better than average work from Davies, Bruins, Sokoly, Schultz, Wildrick, Ziemer, Harr, Schnei- der, and Tanin in the dashes and hurdles. the natural forte of a few of the recruits from the cross-country ranks, such as Baumann, Millazzo, C o h e n , Hassett, Strom, and Heffner. - Competing at the high jump for dear old West Side, Davies, Bruins, Billings, Schneider, Ziemer, and Schultz soared over the bar with the greatest of ease. The fate of the team depended a great deal upon the performances of Damjano- Vic, Zorn, Gissler, and Nowak. Rofw I Rensink, Koenig, Captain-elect Johnny Davies. Faced by the loss of almost all his lettermen, Coach Smith is convinced that, in constructing his 1936 track squad, he must begin at rock bottom, and concen- trate on developing a few of the out- standing performers still at school. Where- as in former years good track material was more available, the team is now passing through the proverbial, biblical, Hlean yearsn. With Hassett, Milazzo, Sokoly, Buten- hoff, and Cohen participating in running events, the squad will not be without merit in that division, while Damjanovic Ro-w 3-Henk, Jelfords, Pacur, Termey, Monroe, Grow, Meinerz, Chenovv.

I8 TRACK PREVIEW and Gissler will be the two returning strong men in the weights that Mr. Smith is depending on to garner a few points. As far as the rest of the events are concerned, the track mentor is silent. His silence can purport one of two mean- ings: either the boys available aren't of championship caliber, or else he has some good performers under his wings, and wants to keep them under cover, to spring them upon a surprised sports world. We hope the latter assumption is true. Milazzo, Hassett, Smith, Koenig, O'Brien, Cohen, Bauman. CROSS COUNTRY Captain Paul Hassett led Coach Ku- rath's Heet-footed harriers to a successful, well-rounded season by Winning a first in both the city and state meets. Hard- pressed for material with ability and gumption enough to stick out the hard grind that cross-country runners must possess, the squad Was of necessity quite small. At the close of the season letters were awarded to Hassett, Smith, and Bau- mann, each of Whom has an enviable rec- ord to look back upon. Prospects for the next season are slim, the most promising being O'Brien and Minertz, who are rapidly being developed into outstanding performers. Captain Paul Hassett. Coach Ernst Kurath 4l , u .

GOLF Entering their second year of compe- tition under the tutelage of Coach Aker, the Bobby -loneses and Walter Hagens of West Division showed a slight im- provement in their performances. Led by Bob Davidson, who Won individual hon- ors, Bob Coleman, Henry Peterson, and Tom Coleman, the combined strokes of Coaches Aker and Muenzner the mashie-handlers were close enough to par to give the team a third place rank- ing in the annual city golf meet. Among the golf team's fledglings who showed a great deal of promise are Meyers, O'Connor, and Steinman. As- sisting Mr. Aker in his coaching duties Were Buencar and Muenzner. Ro-w 2-W.

Competition in swimming is always keen, because West Division has no tank in which to train its men. With a smaller-than- average turnout of prospective natators, the progress of the team was sharply impeded. The most exceptional work of the season was accomplished by Steinman, a prom- ising sophomore, closely followed by Needham, Nlerbach, Ramaker, Carley, Little, Reega, Trubshaw, Wenzler, Kuchler and . Reega, Whose combined efforts Won for West third place in the city meet. ' The first quadrangular meet ever held in the city between Washington, Lincoln, North, and West was Won by our Redmen, who also won iive dual meets, and lost four to teams who have the tank facilities in their own buildings. Next season Coach Hansen will be handicapped for material, as Steinman is the only returning letterman. Captain Robert Merbach. lS6l Rofw 5-Kinney, Reich, Pedersen, Fischer, Turk, Pacey.

GYM TEAM Annexing titles and monopolizing individual honors is getting to be quite a habit with the West Division gym teams. Defending the champioship Won in last year's city gym meet, the Redmen again received the stiffest competition from their old but respected rivals from North Division, who tried hard, but were unable to stem the rising tide of Coach Hansenls perfectly conditioned athletes. Albert Kling, of the senior division ran off with high individual scoring honors, when he amassed a total of 97.5 points out of a possible 100, setting l a new city meet record. His teammates, not to be outdone, set another mark for other schools to try at by placing eleven men with 90 points or over in comparison with three in last year's meet. The individual high scoring honors of the squad were carried off by Kling, LeMay, Wenzler, Kenny, M. Wenzler, Hoffmann, Dusenberry, Becher, Driscoll, Kuchler, and Borchardt, each scor- ing 90 points or over.

Through the indefatigable efforts of the board, and the splendid coaching of Miss Elsie V. Peters, gym instructor, an interesting season resulted. Happily, laurels were evenly distributed among the competitors, and fair play was shown by all. This year, to manage the club's growing program, the many active members elected an outstanding group of girls to the various olhces of the board. The season's events cul- minated in the exciting games of baseball, basketball, and volleyball, a tennis tournament, a ping-pong tournament, a swimming meet, and-as a fitting close-a banquet, held to reward the outstanding girls athletes with medals or emblems. Officiating as president was Margaret Steuber, a girl who is to be envied for her agility and versatility in the sports field. Vice-president Ruth Vollmer helped to make the yearly program a success. Kath- erine Bea, sports editor for the Annual, was the able secretary and treasurer of the G.A.A. The class representatives were: Marion Hall, senior director, Violet Gold- enstedt, junior director, Doris Anderson, sophomore director, Vivian Johnson, fresh- man director.

The award was given for the second time in the association's existence: an at- tractive ring, with the G. A. A. insignia imbedded in its crest. Second emblems were won by girls who received 1200 points during the past three years. The points were earned by those having the necessary qualifications of sportsmanship, co-operation and general athletic ability. The following girls re- ceived the second award: Nedra Brice, Virginia French, Juliet Haislmaier, janet Knoblauch, Blanche Kollmorgan, Odessa Morrill, Yetta Sorkin, Mabel Tesch, Phyllis Vanderbunt, and Ruth Wilson. For two years, fifty-one girls have been working for their first emblem.

An unusually large group turned out this year to make West Division the scene of one of the most successful tennis tourna- ments ever staged by the Girls' Athletic as- sociation. Through a double elimination, every girl had more than one chance to show her skill with the racket. Up to the last minute of play, it was hard to determine who was to capture the championship. Marge Steuber and Hazel Ebert played for first honors. The size of the eager and impatient gallery made one think one was Watching the Whitman Cup series. l Finally Marge Steuber came out on top, and second place went to Hazel Ebert after a hard battle with Elsie Engersbachg Elsie took third by defeating Florence Smith. Hereis luck to our own future Helen Ja Cobs 1 wk RF TABLE TENNIS Table tennis, previously unknown to girls' sports at West, was introduced this year by Miss Elsie V. Peters, sponsor of the Girls' Athletic Association. The season was a tremendous success, and every participant had a sporting chance to make good. Through class elimination, three girls were chosen in each group to display her skill in the final matches. The results of the meet were encourag- ing. The following received first honors: Blanche Kollmorgan, Ruth Vollmer, and Margaret Steuber, seniors, Florence Smith, Marion Schoolmeyer, and Janet Knoblauch, juniors, Hazel Ebert, Myrtle Ruenzel, and Marjorie Mofiitt, sophomoresg Jane Griliith, Mabel Brill, and Mary Ellen Grass, freshmen. In the finals the seniors completely domi- nated the situation, for Blanche Kollmorgan Won the championship, Margaret Steuber, second place, and Ruth Vollmer, third place. Hazel Ebert and Myrtle Ruenzel took third and fourth places respectively. All in all, a successful season. V Rofw 2+--R. Vollmer, M. Steuber. Row 1-l-H. Ebert, B. Kollmorgan, M.

Peters, gym instructor. The past season has seen more basket- ball players competing than in any previous year. The championship team had Captain Ruth Vollmer, Margaret Kraft, Anna Musil, Geraldine Racine, Lillian Sontag, Margaret Steuber, Annemarie Verheyen, and Anna Wallendal to help bring home the honor of a girls, champion basketball team. Inter-class teams were chosen for the purpose of awakening the interest of more girls in the gameg of these teams, the seniors were victorious. To climax the excitement of the basket- ball season, all-stars were voted upon to represent their classes. The forwards were Margaret Steuber, Doris Anderson, and Violet Goldenstedtg the guards, Blanche Kollmorgan, Ruth Vollmer, and Gertrude Hille. Rofw 3-A. Wallendal, A. Musil, M. Graft. Rofw 2-A.

Usually G.A.A. inter-class volleyball games are thought of as none too excit- ing, but were you fortunate enough to watch one of this season's games, your idea would certainly change. All the games were thrillers, and frequently the winner could not he determined till the last minute of play. Many times it looked hopeless for the other side, but by the extraordinary play- ing of a suddenly inspired girl, a point was made, either to help the team to victory or to doom it to defeat. Led by Blanche Kollmorgan, the follow- ing girls will receive gold volleyballs at the G.A.A. banquet: Marjorie Ford, Juliet Haislmaier, Glenn Johnson, Anna Musil, Betty Papez, Florence Smith, lrene Tischer, and Marion F. Zimmermann. Throughout the year, every girl showed sportsmanship, cooperation, and an agility which went a long way to make the volley- ball tournament both entertaining and suc- cessful.

Having both indoor and outdoor track made is possible for every girl to partici- pate. This track meet showed that the contestants didnlt have any sympathy for old records, for almost all of them were smashed. To top off everything, the annual Girls' Athletic association banquet proved espe- cially joyful for those track stars who placed in the meet. Each winner received an attractive gold or silver medal.

BASEBALL A fly muffed, a home run, a run-in on somebodyls error-action made G.A.A. baseball this past season seem like the World Series enacted in our own girls' gym- nasium. Thrills and spills were witnessed and sensed by the spectators who saw these games of baseball. Never before had the baseball talent been so evenly distributed among the various teams. Seniors and freshman alike were successful, although some freshman had the marks of inexperience. In spite of everything, a fine future is predicted for these coming seniors. The battle for championship has never been so closely fought. About six teams were qualified for that coveted honor, but Old Man Time showed us that Marge Steuber's team was to have the honor. After many battles and mixups, Florence Kraft's P. Vanderbunt, M. Steuber, R. Vollmer. I9 team took second place. The teams of Nlargaret Head, Violet Goldenstedt, Dorothea Deuter, and Esther Toy all merit honorable mention for good play- 'ing and sportsmanship. Many members of the latter teams will have a chance to show their ability next season.

JUNIOR RED CROSS Swimming, the ever-popular sport at West, had its day for the G.A.A. members, during this past season. Passing the Junior Red Cross tests was no easy matter, for the following directions had to be followed closely, in order to receive an emblem: swim well, swim a long distance, dive, recover articles under water, disrobe in the water, and in the short time allotted, accomplish all the minute tasks necessary to save a person from drowning. Through the assistance of Miss Elsie V. Peters and her assistants, the following girls received their emblems: Doris Anderson, Bernice Balcemeyer, Hildegarde Bernardi, Sally Curtain, Jane Dengel, Hazel Ebert, Violet Goldenstedt, Victoria Golisch, lhlargaret Head, Gertrude Hille, Lor- raine Houston, Anne Kohlpainter, Mar- garet Kraft, Alice Lathrop, Marcella lhlarsh, Winifred Mellon, Myrtle Ruen- zel, and Rose Westenberger.

Sea gulls wheel by bellying clouds, Held fast on sleek smooth decks That slice the salt spray. Spirited blue bloods round the last curve Hurl their sleek bodies down the home stretch. And with clattering hoofs beat the earth drum. Droning humble bees drop from a cloudless sky. To circle round a flower-pylonu, And slip by to their hives. Colored bugs in a bowl, Racing round and round, Chasing Death. Four black funnels make stairs to heaven From a winding golden road Between two mounds of greeng And stern Wheelers keep achunkin' Down that winding golden roadg When Betsy Ann races the Tom Greene. Inzlianafioiis Alum Raves Crankshafts madly whirling round, Locum otiwfs Pistons bobbing up and down, Racing clock hands round the face Leading pilots set the pace. Man made monsters with steel throats Roar and ease forward from the pack, Belch forth black smoke, stir the dust, At the signal go, down the track. Song of Speed Gay wires sing the melody ENFANTS PERDUS The wind cried last night, For it was lost, And trapped between two houses. The tears fell last night, In misery deep They trickled down the window. The wind searched last night For lVIother hfloon Behind black clouds sheld hidden. The wind sighed last night, A forlorn hope Escaped its labored breathing. lVIotors purr the harmony Directed by the Grim Reaper Singing the song of speed. TRANSIENT The fog VVas lost and so it slept On the doorstep of a city - Last Night. ' The wind Played guardian of the Law And he wakened and removed it At Dawn. 51161 AND I SHALL KNONV I shall not linger at the gate To reminisce on long past days. I shall not even hesitate To give my house a long, last gaze. I shall be glad to know the streets And talk with people of the lights. And hear the trafficys rhythmic beats And see the city's dazzling sights. I shall be drawn into the maze Cf city sights and talk and noise. And I shall know the city's ways, And I shall know the city's joys.

It is the busiest as well as the most important day of the week. If you wake up in the night, you can hear wagons squeaking, sheep baaing, dogs barking, pigs squealing, and moujiks lustily swearing. Over night the population of the town is tripled. They are all coming to market-some to buy, some to sell, and some just because it is time to take a holiday. Most of the visitors go straight to the market place in order to get the best spot for their wares. Because it is yet early, many of the newcomers prepare beds of sweet smelling hay and sleep on them through the early hours of the morning. ' By daylight what scene greets your eye! Colors Hash everywhere. The golden cupolas of the churches reliect the morning glory of the sun on the variegated costumes of the men and on the bright kerchiefs on the heads of the women. The reds, yellows, greens, and violets stand out on a background of green grass, brown earth, and dark paint-worn stalls. All classes are represented here. The soldier, the gypsy, the moujik, the well-to-do business man, peasants from the Ukraine, housewives buying their weekls supply, children gazing in wonder at the gayety-all are here for business or pleasure and more frequently for both. Yonder is a wagon load of young squealing piglets , which are being examined by a prospective buyer who pulls them out, one by one, examines each one carefully, and if satisfactory puts it into a crate of his own. Some men are bartering over a horse. A bargain in struck. They shake hands and march off to seal the bargain with a drink of vodka. Here is a camp of gypsies encamped in a circle. Tents are pitchedg a Hre is burningg they are cook- ing their noonday meal. One old gypsy woman is trying to persuade passers-by to step in and have their fortunes told. Her hair is yet raven black, her eyes sharp and burning, but her face is old and wrinkled. She contrives to persuade superstitious peasants to come in. Many are the fearful tales or joyous prophecies that fall on the credulous ears of her listeners. A group is gathered around a gypsy girl dancing to the metallic tones of a guitar-like balalika and the gay tunes of a concertina. The girl, full of zest, dances gayly to the accompanying music. Close by is a Punch and Judy show, playing an old favorite that the people never tire of seeing over and over. The crowd laughs at and applauds the quaint antics of the puppets. Finally long shadows begin to appear in the market square, and it is time to get started home. Long caravans of wagons are pulling out. A frantic mother runs about looking for her lost child. She finds him and starts kissing and scolding him at the same time. Here and there bare spots are beginning to appear in the market. Hark! The church bells are ringing. The evening service is about to begin. All is silence as the remaining peasants devoutedly cross themselves. Darkness! Quiet! The busiest day of the week is over. ,qw-on S.-weed Sleep is Good I am one of the happy persons who appreciate to the fullest measure the luxurious delights of sleep. Not that I ever allow myself to over-indulge in the worthy pastimeg indeed, I find that the practice of self- denial now and then serves to add to my pleasure rather than to detract from it. My ego craves sleep, for it is in those profoundly mysterious realms of that great monarch Hypnos, that I realize my fondest dreams, my worthiest ambitions. During the hours of the day that I am fully awake, I may strive patiently to discover the one word needed to complete a thought of mine, however petty the thought may be, and almost always my search is in vain. I' must needs be content with a lesser word, for racking my brain further is of no avail. But with sleep comes self-expression. My starved imagination feeds with an Epicurean delight upon the word-food it has so long been denied. Words, beautiful words, pour from my lips with the greatest ease. I may, if I will, dash off a graceful sonnet or two with such agility that one might imagine sonnets were accustomed to clinging to my finger-tips, awaiting the word from me that would mean blessed freedom. Sometimes I am a lone figure, mercifully lost in a whirling sphere of words whose beauty leaves me gasp- ing, when pouf! and they have gone, all of them, and I am alone and desolate. It is then that I realize that, unfortunately, I am not one of those, who, feeling upon their noses the sun's first beam, sit up in their beds, yawn, stretch, gibber, and without much ado, reach for the nearest sock. There is something about that First beam that makes me long for an unending night. So say what you will of the virtues of those gifted with wide-awake dispositions, repeat with accent stern the old adage: 'tThe early bird catches the wormll, quote my good and dear mother in saying: f'Sleep will get you nowherel'-and I, from among my pillows and blankets, I, from the portals of my beautiful sleep shall answer: O Health, you are too dearly bought! O Wealth, o evil, evil wealth, Ifll sue for you another day! O Wisdom, Iill find you in my dreamsfl Lucille Pggis 11181 -r --------- -- ----------- ----- 4- SEHICDRS Cap and Gown Photographs One Large 8 X tO in Folder S .OO Four Proofs 6 for 54.50 12 for 956.50 Colored Photo with the Dozen Preserve the Memorq of llour Graduation with a Photograph in Cap and Gown Cap and Gown Available at Studio lllorrison Studio lDisconsin Theatre Building mArquette 3793 Ojficial Comet Photographer 1932635 33-34g 34f35 mst 120 si MA 7114, Q-W gives 1111111111--11111nn-1111--111111111111111111111111-1111--1111-11111--1111111 Q Miss Brown's School in in my 408 E.

What with spring fever and longing for Easter vacation, people don't make interesting material for the calendar at present. Easter bunny comes to all good little freshmen. School again. Oh, well . . . 1 All Annual material must be in. Mebbe so, mebbe so! What! Paul Hassett didn't walk home with Jane today! Marks today, and nobody went below-below 50, we mean. MAY Students begin marking calendars for June 21. Whole school in an uproar over caps and gowns question. Junior Prom. Everybody had a good time, and wished the evening could last forever. At least, they tried to make it last long. Somebody says, When do Annuals come out ? Sonny, didn't you know that none can ask or answer that question?!! Students still marking their calendars diligently. Cap and gown battle wages successfully. Those who Went to Washington came back. They keep insisting that they had a good time. John Marx reports that nothing happened today. State track meet. Come on, Paul! Decoration Day. No school is a good school. City track meet. Davies regains his admirers. JUNE Student council decrees that there will be mirrors in the lavatories by June S, 1939. Annual guarantees delivery in two days. Same business. Same business. Exams. Interlude for miscellaneous groans. Annuals distributed. Graduation, grand and glorious. In caps and gowns. Johnnie, the calendar editor suffers a nervous collapse. We don't care-the calendarls finished! ff' a , f f 7 , 'iVff:1fY46f.4 fUfcA-ff-5 -' Q! .J -W - 3 '- - - QM bu J . Q55 ..
