District Band 4 SCHOOL ACTIVITIES FORENSICS The importance cf definite training: in speaking; is recognized by only a few people. Still, there is really no cne who gains success in speaking clearly and convincingly without a great deal of training and practice. There are many points that mut be considered in the making of a successful speaker or 'nteresting reader. Tr.e voice must be pleasing a id well controlled. Enunciation, pronunciation and expression, both facial and otherwise. must be emphasized very intelligently. There are most as-u redly many la-ting benefits that may be obtained by such practice, if the participant has taken a great deal of in'erest in his work. Such interest as is necessary in declamation, oratory, ext m-noianeou- reading, and speaking is an intellectual stimulus of far reaching importance. The forens:c th’s year were in charge of several of the teachers who assisted the co ntestants in giv'ng the public a very successful and interesting program. The orator- and extemporaneous -peakeis were coached by Mr. Peter-en; Miss Richardson coached the extemporaneous reader : and Miss Lound and Miss Gay coached the declaimers. The speakers who appeared oi the evening of April 14th in the Real ccnt°-t at the h:gh school were a- frllows: Oratory: Elmer May —The Weighted Sca’es Stanley Oaks—The Age of Confusion Declamation-: Florence Clements—At the Declam Contest. Alice Olson—Sun-Dried Louise Wakefield—Brotherly Love Viola Schonrberg-The Homely Heroine Marie Bahnub—The Sign of the Cross Elsie Shane—Mary Elizabeth Extemporaneous Speaking: Elmer Mau—The Wickersham Report Vera Erickson—Captain CampbeH’s Speed Record Dorcthv He;der—President Hoover-Caribbean Trip. Extemporaneous Reading: Dorothy Selbrede Lois Schwartz Three teachers from the Sparta High School acted as judges for this contest. Beth speakers and coaches were very grateful for the large and interested audience which attended. The winning speakers and places awarded to them are a- follows: Oratory: Elmer Mau—1st place Stanley Oaks—2nd place Declamatory: Louise Wakefield—1st place Florence Clements—2nd place Extemporaneous Speaking: Elmer Mau—1st place Vera Erickson—2nd place Extemporaneous Reading: ed in “landing” his father. Bob found Lois Schwartz—1st place Dorothy Selorede—2nd place E'.mer Mau won first place in the extemporaneous speaking contest and will represent the school at the district contest to be held in La Crosse Saturday May 2nd. Louise Wakefield won third place in the declamatory contest. DRAMATICS Two of the outstanding events of the year are the plays given by the upperclas-men. The juniors presented “Mail Order Brides”. The cast is a follows: “Pinky” Butler, ranch hand—Lawrence Halvorson “Skeet” Snyder, ranch hand —Stanley Oaks Nance Henshaw—Louise Wakefield N ck Henshaw, owner of Ruby Hart ranch'—Roy Havens Bob Henshaw, his son—Donald Griswold Princess ,the Indian servant—Adlyn Hulberg Rose Crandall, the maid—Florence Clements Jane Hamilton, visitor from Chicago —Mary Casterline Deering Hamilton, visitor from Chicago—Elmer Mau Queer.:e Dugan, also from Chicago— Eunice Paisley Arabella Jennings, cf Chicago—Viola Schomberg Gayne'.l Jones, of Chicago—Margaret McEldowney Wm. Hamilton, of the firm of Hamilton Blake—Lester Rhodes Managed by Frederick Wege. Directed by Miss Ethel Gay This play wa- well presented by the Junior Class. Pinky and Skeet, the two cC'VObcys, f und great .-port in “r'nglng” their hats when entering from out of doors, and it was largely through this practice that they became such expert ranchmen. Princess, the Indian servant, was a role that was very well played by Adlyn Hulberg. Her identity was nearly mistaken for that of “Laughing Waters” or a near relative. Nick Henshaw, the father of Bob and Nance, had many trying moments because of his children. By the use of his g.od judgment, common sense, and infinite patience, he tried very hard to make a success of his family, who, a- he .-aid, must be mentally deranged by trying to become such foolish things a.- playwrights and poets. Skeet a d Pinky filled out an order blank for two wives and Nick, finding this, filled in another requisition for a wile fvr his son, who he thought might change if he settled down. Two week-later three women from Chicago responded to the letter and the fun began. One of them landed a cowboy and only the quick work of Nance saved the other from the clutches of a “mail order bride”. The third matrimonial aspirant cculd make n- impression on Bob but finally succeed- his happiness in re-discovering and winning his lost wife, who, as Rose Crandail, had appeared opportunely at the ranch. It is probab.y a safe bet that Deering Hamilton will never forget his exper ence with Old Baldy. We are -ure that Jane, Deering’s charming sister gained much «ati -faction in having everything turn out as she wished. The Senior- presented “The Bashful Mr. Bcbbs”. The cast follow-: Katherine Henderson, a young wife— Elvira Garbers Frederick Henderson, her hu-band— Allan Anderson Mrs. Wiggins, the landlady—Elsie Peterson Obadiah Stum-p, a fresh, country product—Rudolph Lee Franci- Whittaker, an athletic girl— Dorothy Selbrede. R salie Otis, a society bud—Emelia Nesseth Mr. Robert V. Bcbbs, the bashful man Win ton McEldowney. Jean Graham, a Delaware peach— Esther Klos. Marston Bobb.s anyth'ng but bashful —Eldor Miller Celestial Vanderpool, of the “Mov es” —El.-ie Shane Jule, her French maid from Paris, Ky. —Helen Kruger Directed bv M ss Lound. “The Bashful Mr. Bobo ” is a fa:ce comedy in three acts. The humor is introduced through the mistaken identity of two characters who are both named Bcbbs. We are sure that Rudolph Lee, who take- the part of Obadiah Stump, the best known “e.-c rter” in the town of Splinter-ville, will be offered a part on the screen after beir.g seen May 7th and 8th; that is if Julie can be persuaded to act as his .-parring partner! We know Mrs. Wiggins isn’t afraid of “any burglar living” and that she can brandish a wicked sword, but we think she did not frighten anyone away from the theatre. There are very few people who have such re-markab’e cases cf illness that their pain shift from a leg to a -wollen r ght jaw and suddenly move over to the left jaw and disappear “just like a slight of hand trick, as it were”, but this is what hajjpens to Marston B bbs. And as for Mr. Robert Bo'cbs, we will admit that he is a very ba h-ful man. “that he don’t know where he i- at all when there is womenfolk around.” Fortunately Jean find- a wav � c� overcome Robert’s bashfulness a d he accompanies her to the country home of Mr. and Mrs. FrederVc Henderson, a young marr ed couple who get alee- in the “usual” wav. M’ss Celesta Varderpool. a modern movie queen, brings much complication into the p’ay bv her untime'v arrival at Splinterville. Last but not least are our friends Miss Frances Whittaker and Miss Rosalie Otis, who belong to the exclusive sccietv of Splinterville. Cl- SCHOOL CALENDAR Sept. 1—School opened.

Each is sponsored by one of the clashes. The first mixer was given by the seniors, on September 30th, a they had had the most experience in such affairs. At eight o'clock a gay group of boys and girls gathered in the gymnasium for an exceptionally fine program. The program opened with a ‘ Teacher- Prophecy”, a play portraying the future of our dear teachers. A group of boys called the “Salem Warblers” sang a few selections. The boys and the.r assumed names were as follows: Maurice Chevalier, Fill- in. re Storandt; Chicken Smitty, Arnold Schmidt; Prince of Wales, Earl Quackenbush; Charlie Chaplin, Lawrence Halvorson; Barre Mills Shiek, Paul Lin-e. There was also a girls’ chorus which sang several songs. Louise Wakefieid, called Gypsy Rose, and W lma Goedecke as the masked marauder, tap-danced. After this the floor was occupied with dancing until about 10 o’clock. On December sixth the sophomores entertained the high sch ol at the -econd mixer. A play “Wild Nell of the Plains” started the program at eight o’clock. It was continued by a duet by L is Schwartz and Alta Hei-der. An accord on solo was played by-Theodore Xiedfelt and a “t.ght-rope act” was performed by Bernie Kruger. The rest of the evening was spent playing games and dancing. Ice cream and cookies were served before the party br ke up. The junior class entertained at a mixer on December 10th. The entertainment consi-ted of a Felix Comedy, a Mack Sennet Comedy and a two reel Collegian comedy. The biggest attract.on of the evening was Santa Claus and his pack. After the refreshments of peanuts, pop corn and apples, an hour was given over to dancing. The students went home from ne of the jolliest mixers of the year wishing each other “Merry Christina-.” The la.-t mixer was sponsored by the freshmen on February 27th. Unusual ability was revealed. The program started with tap-dancing by-Louise Wakefield and W,lma Goedecke. The new Faculty Quartet consisting of Gerald Quackenbush, Earl Linse, Rudolph Xiedfelt and John Sid Steensen, entertained with several popular number- including, “Sweet Jenny Lee”, “Here Comes the Sun” and “Betty Co-ed”. Jokes were told and a stunt known as “The Gathering of the Xuts” was played cn sophomore boys. A play called “Radio Recipe-” was dramatized by members of the freshman class. The party ended to the usual close of “eat-” and “dancing”. And so ended the round c mixers with an equally successful party given by each class. DEBATE Thi- year the juniors challenged the seniors tc a debate. The seniors were given the privilege of choosing the question for debate, though the juniors were to have the chcice cf side. Tne question chosen for the debate was: “Res.lved that the Hawley-Srnoot tariff is detrimental to the best interests of the American puolic.” The affirmative team, denying the beneficial nature of the act, was drawn from the junior class and included Elmer Mau, Donald Griswold, Louise Wakefield and Frederick Wege as alternate. The negative team, which upheld the act, included Allen Anderson, Es-tella Krohn, Elsie Peterson and Ester Klos as alternate. Elmer Mau opened the debate for the affirmative and wa- followed by Allen Anderson for the negative. In the opinion of the judges, Mrs. A. O. Jostad, Rev. J. B. Fitz and Mr. Gar-lock, the affirmative s.de gave the strongest arguments, and they accordingly were adjudged the victors by a unanimous decision. This is the first time a debate as a regular school event, ha- been held in recent yeais. G. A. A. CLUB The Girls Athletic Association was started in the fall of 1929 by Miss Pecs. It was intended to be only a hiking club, but, due to the unfavorable weather condition-, in our northern climate, we were unable t hike much dur.nv the winter. Therefore it was cc ciuded to include both winter and summer sports. This year the club was again organ.zed under the direction of Miss Peck. Tne officers elected were as follows: Elsie Shane, pres.; Esther Klos, secretary and trea.-urer. The purpose of the organization is to further the interest in girls athletics and also to make it possible for girls to earn the school’s letter. In order to win a letter a girl must earn feur hundred points, the points being received for the following sports: hiking, tennis, kittenball, golfing, volley ball ,basketball, shoveling snow, roller skating, skiing and tobogganing. Lois Schwaitz, Elaine Nutteiman, Elsie Shane, Elsie Peterson, Clara Meyer and Ethel Vogel, represented our school at Play Day at the La Crosse Teachers College cn March 7. They participated in various athlete feat during a period of six hours. Therefore the girls were each awaid-ed twenty-five points toward their letters. We also have a social side to. our club. It w-as agreed in the fall that we were to have a party on the first Monday of every month. Our first party October 6th was fer the purpose of inlt.ating the freshmen girls into the club. We held a miniature track meet in the gymnasium. Later in the evening hot dogs were served for lunch. A good time wa- had by all. The next was a hare and hound chase which ended in a wiener roast cn Table Rock. On January 20th we all assembled at Fischers and waited for Spencer Thomas to come jingl ng along in his sleigh. We went to Bangor where we stopped to patronize their restaurant (what a shame!) because of our hunger and cold. Since then we have failed to have our parties because of the great number of activities which have interfered. We are all keeping up our athletic sDirit just the same and are try ing to w� n oui letters. Everyone has enjoyed the association very much from the very beginning and we are hoping it will be kept up fer other students to enjoy and appreciate. 4-H CLUB I pledge my head to clearer thinking, My heart to greater loyalty, My hands to larger service, And my health for better living, For my club, my community, and Mr Country. Under this pledge a club f fifteen wa- organized June 4, 1930. Mrs. Gul-lickson, county clrb leader, called a meeting cf all those girls who wished to join in this community. Fourteen members took up the sewing project, four the food work, two baking, and one r:om ’‘mprevement. Some members took up two projects. The officers elected for the year were: Luel’a Diekroeger, president; Dorothy Sel-bredo, vice president; Elizabeth Schwartz, secretary and treasurer; Vera Erickson, c’ub reporter. M’s- Mary Oldenburg was a-ked to be a local leader, and a .-uch she succeeded admirably. Meetings were held weekly at the members homes. Xew things were taught at each meeting, such as vase pav'nting and stenciling. Two of our members enjoyed the three-day 4-H camp and came back with interesting material. Fair time came ar und shortly and art:cle-were prepared to be shown while honors were brought home for our c'ub. A demonstration team was not sent this year. The last a :d most interesting episode in our club year came Xcveml er 5th, “Achievement Day”. Eleven cf our club members reached the goal and received the pin for achievement h:nor. 1930 has been a more -uccess-ful year than past years and we look forward to greater succes- in the coming year. We feel sure we can achieve this success if we keep in mind cur motto, “Make the Best Better.” Top Row—Goodwin Hass, David Lewis, Kenneth Hanson, Anker Michelson, Wilfred Oldertberg, Milo Over.-on, Melvin Clson, Robert McDonald.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY A remarkable day, Sept. 5, 1927, when thirty-nine girls and boys began their high school life. Every member .survived the terrers of initiation and harbored rising hopes for the future, when we might wreak our vengeance on the following freshman class. Our wonderful basketball team won first place in the inter-class tournament but in the succeeding years the team was not so successful. The mixers given by this class have been famous- for their entertaining programs and delicious refreshments. During the summer vacation our joys were overshadowed by the loss of our esteemed classmate, Til man Knutson. Til man showed great ability along the lines of scholarship, music and athletics. The beginning of a series of Bunco parties -was begun in our sophomore year. Practically each member of the class has entertained at one cf these parties, and this form of recreation has been continued the rest of our high school years. The Junior class play was put c-n Dec. 4th and 5th, 1929, tne title being “Cyclone Sally”. It was a huge success due to the persistent efforts of the cast and coach,, and the splendid support of the scho:l and public. During our junior year we received tw'o new' members, although we had lost a few' the previous year. The juniors took an active part in the carnival. Our beauty conte-tant w'as Marie Paustian. The Junior prom wras a crowning success. It w'as held in the gymnasium and was well attended. The music w'as furnished by the Lar-gul band. The gym W'as decorated in blue and silver, the colors cf the class of 1930. May 31, 1930, a wonderful day for the junior-senior picnic. It was held at Winona, though we finished the day by having supper at Hokah. We became seniors Sept. 1, 1930. We lost a valuable member to New' Ulm this year. The senior class has contributed largely to the basketball squad the last two seasons. We gave the squad its captain for tw'o successive years. The seniors on the regular team have showm marked ability, and have been justly praised. We mrdest-ly allowed the underclassmen to run off with the inter-class shield this year. We the seniors now' bid you a fond farewell, and hope that you will carry on our cherished traditions. To you remains the task. To the West Salem High School: Vi vat! Crescat! Floreat! (Mas it live!

BASKETBALL SEASON SUMMARY The boys have finished a successful season of basketball. We had practically the same team this year as last year with the exception of one member. Our last years rating was quite low but by hard work we raised our rating to third in the Coulee Confer-en?e. We tied with Onalaska and battled the score off at Sparta, but Salem could not put the damper on sky-scraper R ck. The high school team had the distinction of winning every game the Conference played on the home floor. We did not allow any team to beat us twice. We hope to have a fairly fast team cn the floor next year. Scores West Salem 15; Vocational 9. West Salem 15; We-tby 11. West Salem l(i; Galesville 17. West Salem 23; Galesville 14.

We were rather green and lacked practice, but managed to win one out cf two Bangor games, and two Cashton games. FIELD AND TRACK As we go to press, the boys are practicing up for the Coulee Conference Field and Track Meet, which will be he’d at Galesville May 2nd. We had planned on having a fairly strong team, and though we are handicapped by the loss of Fillmore Storandt, we still intend to give our very best at the meet. SOPHOMORES CHAMPS The Sophomores have the honor of being the Inter-class Champs. The teams consist of boys who have not won a letter on the big team. In the final score the Soph mores took first, the Juniors and Freshies second, and the seniors third. � P“A5 af � ??PMg ■ y- o tw. : t N ■‘W y yj? ? • 7 v 7 S v bj. l: “lir 0' SlOHSdVNS SNAPSHOTS iiiiMnimiiiinniJln4mi..JLMillflilllllllHninnniimiii iiiiiini niiii uimnmiiuiiiuuiniminiiiiinimui fk OtterJetderf Sojihtmtre Clxtf Officers kfJ[ ffr Bobb.

Though Mr. Nichols started with inexperienced musicians, he has made a name for himself in the hearts of the students by producing an organization which is looked upon with great pride. At a meeting of the organization, the following officers were elected: president, Fillmore Storandt; secretary and treasurer, Elmer Mau. Not everyone realizes the hardships and self sacrifice that a band memiber must undergo. There are long hours of practice, attendance at rehearsal, and time spent playing at many special occasions. Those who sacrifice time and energy for the band must find some compensation for it and they do. No one can enjoy music quite as much as those who produce it. Music is usually considered to be a cultural study, its most important function that of providing entertainment. However, music has a practical value. Band members learn to cooperate and they learn to appreciate good music. High salaries are offered for professionals and there is a large field. Since the band was organized in November 1928, it ha progressed rapidly, and has played at a great many occasions such as assemblies, 4-H meetings, forensic contests, and many others. During the summer months the band made two trip- by motor, the first being to the fourth of July celebration at Black River Falls where it played for a two day celebration and the other being to the Inter-state Fair at La Crosse. These trips provided enjoyment, experience, and brought a sum of money to the treasury. Two years ago- on the 11th of May the band won first place in Class B at the State Teachers College in La Crosse and brought home a banner. The same year they journeyed to Stevens Point to enter the state tournament. Here the band met with sig- nal success since it won first place in Class D. Each hand member received a gold pin and the school a brcnze plaque. The following year the tournament was held in Milwaukee, May 8th, 9th and 10th. The parents and bu i-ness men enabled the band tc make this trip by motor also and here again the bard was successful in winning first place in Class C with Berlin, Muscoda, Mukwonago, and Princeton. The band was placed in a first cla-s hotel and “a good time was had bv all.” The band is working with much enthusiasm again this year in the hope of making a creditable showing wherever they go for tournament competition. The band will, cn April 18th, participate in the Western Wis-cons:n District Contest which will be held at Richland Center. On the 25th of April the band will journey to La Crosse to enter the We tern Wisconsin Music Festival, in which most of the nearby towns will enter. It will probably be impossible to enter the state tournament this year. Through the courtesy :f the “Band Mothers”, each graduating member of the band will receive a letter for their service. This year the band will lose several valued players through graduation. Donald Miller, Paul Linse, plaving clarinets; Winton McEldowney, Rudolph Lee, playing trombones; George Walters playing the baritone saxophone; Fillmore Stcra.ndt, Allen Anderson, playing basses; Eldor Miller playing saxophone; and Estella Krohn plaving the flute, will graduate.

The purpose, as in previous years, is to review the events of the year, giving an authentic picture of high school life. We decided that pictures would recall certain occasions more vividly than would write-up- sc there are two pages of snap shots instead of the customary single page. Esther Klos had charge cf them. We are indebted to Helen Kruger for the captions and the humorous seniorscope. Winton McEldowney edited athletics and humor, while the large field tf school activities was supervised by Elvira Garbers. Rudolph Lee did all the art work for the class publication. The untiring efforts of our editor-in-chief, Estella Krohn, have brought success to the enterprise.

The present cfficers are: President, Dorothy Selfcrede; Secretary and Treasurer, E ther IClos. The body of the club is emposed of twenty-four high school girls in the sophomore, Junior and senior years. The freshmen girls organized separately this year, as there were twenty wishing to join. Alta Heider acts as their accompanist. The girls have appeared in a few ensemble numbers, at commencement, at ?. T. A. meetings, and at auditorium programs. This year several of the girls plan to enter the Music Festival Contest at La Crosse on April 25th. Lois Schwartz will enter he vocal solo contest; Alta Heider, the piano solo divi-ion; Alta and Loi-, the vocal duet contest; Dorothy Selbrede, Kmelia Nesseth and Alta, the voca« trio contest. Last year in this co.te t Ruth Cranum won second place with her solo; Eloise Xaset and Jiucnle Bishop, first with a duet, and these two girls with Irene Niedfeldt, third place with a trio. Music is the purest of arts. Someone lias said Music is the fourth need of man—food, clothing, shelter, and then music.” FUTURE FARMERS BANQUET The Future Farmers Club of the West Salem High School Agricultural department gave a Fathers' and Sons’ banquet on March 18th at 7:00 o’clock in the high school.

The results were as follows: 100 yard dash—Galesville list, 2nd, 3rd; Bangor 4th. 220 yd. dash—Galesville 1st; West Salem (Raymond Hemker) 2nd; Bangor 3rd, 4th. 440 yd. dash—Galesville 1st, 2nd, 3rd; West Salem 4th.

He made alone 14 points. What our school needs in order to make a real showing at a competitive meet like this, ist to have a lot of boys out. There is good material in school, if the boys would only care to forego a few pleasures in order to be on such a beam. It is very nice for the school to receive the henor, but it is really the boy who engages in such a contest who receives the most benefit. CLASS DAY PROGRAM Last year, the class of 11)30, put aside a day known as cla?s day. On this day they handed down their tradition' and ideals to the junior class. The president of the senior clas-, Shirley Heider, presented the Pei, the class trophy, to the junior class president, Eldor Miller. The Per.- wa? handed down with the sincerest hope that the juniors would cherish and carry on the brilliant work of the class of 1930. The Pen is symbolic of Hamlin Garland, the famous writer who was born near West Salem. The features on this class day program were: The reading of the cla K Will by Annette McDonald. Articles such as Grace Hannum’s report card, Mildred Shane's weight chart and numerous broken hearts were bequeathed-. The class prophecy was read by Grace Hannum. The Class of 1931 has selected May 27th, as their class day. The senior president, Willard Drecktrah, will present the Pen to Frederick Wege, who will accept it for the junior cla?i . We hope that this ceremony will be continued by the classes who are following us. 1930 Valedictorian and Salutatorian The Class of 1930 had two girls for their representative speaker- on Commencement evening. Muriel Fuller had the honor cf being valedictorian, and Charlotte Meyer was salutatorian. The exercises were held in the Pavilion at 8:00. Don Le cohier gave the address. The girls glee club and the orchestra presented several selections. Mr. Robert G. Petersen- presented the diplomas. RHYTHM BAND A rather novel musical feature has been introduced into the grades- this year by Miss Ivey. This is in the form of a rhythm band. Phyllis Nelson is the director. The band has played at many social occasions and has been much enjoyed. FRENCH CLUB Miss Alice Lound has organized a French Club. This class meets after school and is very interesting and educational. In addition to studlng grammar, many humorous ar.d proverbial stories are read. GIRL SCOUTS The Girl Scouts of West Salem were organized in 1924 under the temporary leader, Rev. Kroonemeyer. Mis Winr.na Smith then became leader and remained in that capacity for several years. For the next three year Miss Pearl Richardson was captain. The present captain is Mrs. Elert Erickson. During the school year meetings are held regularly every Monday-evening. Many of the meetings are in the form of hikes and wiener roasts. The main feature of the year's program is camping for a week or two in the summer. To earn money for this purpzse, the troop has held doughnut sales, candy sales, and has sold a hand-made quilt. Achievements, merit badges, and honorary badges have been bestowed on tho.e who have worked to leceive them. It is deemed a high honor to receive a badge and know that it has been faithfully earned. G. A. A. BANQUET On March 21st, the Girls Athletic Association entertained at a banquet in honor of the basciba I boys. A delicious- three course dinner was served at 7:00.
