In September 1928, the thirty-five beginners were introduced into the mysteries of High School, which culminated in the initiation. After this terrible ordeal we were full-fledged Freshmen and proceeded to show our various abilities. As sophomores we outshone the rest of the High School by our many achievements in forensics, our championship of the basketball tournament and our editing of the famed, if short-lived, “Sophomore Broadcaster”. Two of the members of our class had the honor of winning first place in a clarinet duet at the La Crosse Music festival. We shall always be proud to tell you of the carnival, as a member of our class was voted the most popular lady and subsequently mounted the throne on this happy occasion. The cutest thing we’ve ever seen, Was Florence as the carnival queen. Our class has always had outstanding band members and basketball players who have made themselves known all through our high school career. The junior play, “Mail Order Brides” after the usual number of exhausting rehearsals was successful- ly given, and in the following Spring we turned our attentions to the famed junior prom. This enjoyable event took place in the gym, which was transformed into a veritable fairyland by the decorations of rainbow colors together with the music furnished by the Largul Orchestra. The mixers given by our class have always been social successes and for entertainment have contained many novel and interesting features. As we look back upon our four years of high school we wish that we could endow the seniors to come with as successful and as satisfactory a survey as ours. fT] ■ ■ ■ ■ m mummum mumii i iintinmiimnmim« i mu i mi i mmniliimiii i n n m min l muni i mi mu immii nm imumniiimii iiiminmmim ii iuumiimhiiiiihiiii SENIOR ACTIVITIES WHAT WE'RE PROUD OF: 1930—We published the “Sophomore Broadcaster”, the only class paper in school. 1930—Our side show, “The Seven Wonders of the World”, put on at the carnival, was voted the best. The carnival queen, Florence Clements, was chosen from our class. 1930—Our basketball boys won the emblem in the class tournament. 1930— A member of our class, Stanley Oaks, won first place in the local oratorical contest. 1931— We entertained the seniors at a orom which was an outstanding social success. 1931—Our junior plav, “Mail Order Brides,” was all we bad fondly hoped for and more. 1931—Two members of our class, Louise Wakefield and Elmer Mau, won first places in the local forensic contest and represented the school in the League contest at Tlindcm. Here Elmer, representing us in oratory and extemooraneo s speaking, won first place in the latter and brought home the cup. Louise was awarded third place in the declamatory contest. 1931— The seniors we e challenged to a debate by us. and we won Our debate team consisted of Donald Griswold. Louise Wakefield and Elmer Mau. 1932— Our valedictorian Elmer Mau. has the highest average of the valedictorians for a number of vears past. Several members of our class bave taken active part in band and glee dub work, and have represented us at music festivals. Thirteen members of our class have won letters through basketball. athletics, girls’ athletics, baml work, and judging teams. HUMOR Wilbert Labus: Had a terrible time with my flivver. Fritz W: Yeah? Wilbert: Yep. Bought a carburetor that saved 50 per cent of gas a timer that saved 30 per cent, and a spark plug that saved 20 per cent, and after 1 went ten miles my gas tank overflowed. THE SENIOR MIXER The seniors “broke the social ice” this year by having the first mixer. The participants in the Buskin Club contest gave their play, “Not Quite Such a Goose”. Those who took part were Roy Havens, Ray Hemker, Florence Clements. Lois Schwartz and Louise Wakefield. Miss Lound, Miss Gay, Mr. Rowe and Mr. Petersen sang some songs which were much enjoyed and heavily encored. Miss Johnson accompanied them. Raw Roy, Louise, Lois and Florence p� t on a clever little act called “The Front Line Trench.” The floor was then cleared for dancing, the syncopation be in furnished by the N;edfeldts. The good start given bv the seniors to the year’s mixers is nrobablv o e reason whv thev have all been so lively and entertaining. SCHOOL Tell me not in mournful numbers School is but a long routine— Endless studies, crankv teachers. And things are not what they may seem. School is joy! School is earnest! Graduation’s not it’s goal! Education — inspiration Which enlightens every soul. Let us then be up and doing, To the studies which await Striving, work and achieving— “For Honor Waits at Labor’s Gate.” IN ASSEMBLY ROOM In dreary assembly we seniors sit Just wasting time, bit by bit, Which makes school fun, and on the wall The flies still bravely buzzing, crawl Scarce heard amid the snores below.

SENIOR ATHLETICS The class of 1932 has in the past four years produced some excellent athletes. When we were freshmen we defeated the seniors in the Inter-class Tournament and got third place, but in our sophomore year we won the championship. The next year we lost some players for the tournament by their winning letters for first team work; nevertheless we managed to obtain second place. In our senior year we held second place again. Our class has produced only four letter men in basketball, but what was lacking in quantity was made up in quality. The four are: Earl Havens, Roy Havens, Lester Rhodes and Robert Peterson. Earl, though not graduating with us, we feel belongs to our class because he has been with us all four years. This year we had three men on the first ten who made a total of over half the points of the whole squad for the entire season of basketball. We always have our share of track athletes out in the spring. Last vear we had four letter men in track. This year we have thre« men out for track who we expect will do much to helD our score in the various meets to be held. Once upon a morning dreary, As mv thoughts were vague and weary, Pondering phvsics, English, history, And the lines of men before me, Suddenlv there came a tapping— On the desk, a teacher rapping, Calling sharoly, No more napping, We will have a quiz this morn.” This I heard and nothing more. I would flunk as times before Evermore. TO THE FRESHMEN Dear little blushing, bashful freshmen Do you envy upperclassmen ? Do you ever wish you knew All we seniors think we do? We must leave school pals behind, Tasks in a greater world to find, Freshies, if you only knew How we sometimes envy you! Viola S. —o— Billy J: Mr. Tweed, did you ever hear a rabbit bark? Mr. Tweed: Rabbits do not bark. Billy: But my biology book says that rabbits eat cabbage and bark. Our idea of a man truly going down in defeat is one with fallen arches.

CLASS EDITOR—Dorothy Heider CLASS HISTORY ‘‘Ship ahoy! The class of 1932 is here!” Twas a bright sunny morning in September 1929 that thirty-five green products enrolled. Can you guess who they were? Why none other than the brand-new frosh. There we were. Mo one knew just what to do or how to act. And how those “rude upperclassmen” did laugh at us! We all got off in the afternoon because Prof, must have known that green things wilt when taken out of their native soil. The majority of us felt much like wilting when we trudged barefooted and in overalls through the halls and gym. One of the first things we did was to elect our class officers. As the majority were bashful, we weren’t overloaded with nominations. The officers elected were as follows: Pres. James Wakefield; vice pres., Carroll Lowell; secretary, Lucille Stelloh; and treasurer, Elaine Jeffers. Poor Elaine was nearly a wreck at the end of the year! The subjects as a whole weren’t so bad, and the majority managed to survive. The carnival was quite important, and our contestant was Alberta Meyer, who received second place. Our mixer wasn’t a startling success, but then it wasn’t a “flop” either. The freshmen and sophomores had a picnic at Pettibone and, of course, forgot one of the most necessary things, the can in which to make the lemonade. Then hurrah! a three month’s vacation had started. In September again we were back at the “little red schoo’house”. First of all we concerned ourselves with giving the very worst kind of an initiation, and I believe it would have been if—. Well, we scared ’em anyhow. They all say they had the best time at our mixer, and what could be sweeter? In basket ball oh yes, we aie surely represented because didn’t we win the Inter-Class Championship? Well, I guess we did! W’o paid the juniors back for their initiation by giving a sophomore-junior party. Just ask them if they had a good time! The class enjoyed several trips to La Crosse, which were both interesting and educational. Snapshots, gum wrappers, etc. are the reminders of the hilarious day we spent at Spring Banks. Thus ended another year. Mow we’re juniors and we are really a little more sophisticated. We all managed to sit by our best friends but didn’t stay there very long, as the teachers preferred our smiling faces near the front. So up in the front we moved. Election of class officers was a great problem, and we finally wound up with a girl president, Dorothy Heider. Then there was the selecting of class rings. The mixer gave us plenty of work but we feit well repaid. We all enjoyed the oper etta, especia’ly the rehearsals. Last but not least the prom. This great event of the year took place April 15th at Roseland. Such a praiseworthy event isn’t very apt to be forgotten. In June we closed our books, as another pa e went down in history.

I Mill CLASS PROPHECY Tis the year of 1942 And we get full of funny feelings When we think how back in '32 We were worrying about our junior dealings. We have traveled far and wide, And to you we’ll now relate Not altogether the sober side Of the people we've seen of late. We boarded the Union Pacific, When behold! whom did we see? A smiling and gracious conductor! And to a Pullman Ed. Hesse conducted me. ’Twas a very pleasant chat we had, And Eddie told us that He was tired of bumming rides, so He’d decided to make the Co. pay for his hats—(and spats, etc.) The greatest surprise of all that day was When through the aisles came Kieth Advertising his peanuts and fruit With mouth opened so wide we saw all of his teeth. By this time we were in Minneapolis; To the “dime stores” of course, we went. And with those “million dollar babies” Most of our time we spent (Lucille, Alberta) At the billboards we gazed long, Because there we saw our “Betty Lou” She was preparing to give a concert that night, But we had a short chat with her too. To Iowa then we traveled; There settled midst the tall, tall corn Was Leonard and his family, He still rises with the early morn. He said he’d just gotten a letter From his good old pal Ray, Who is a mounted police in Canada! And is planning a visit next May. Then we were off to Florida, And there on those sunny beaches Were Jimmy and Poly wandering about, Looking around for “peaches”. At Salem, we paused- at the school house And gazed around the rooms. In the first was Jr. McEldowney Learning to draw and color half moons. In the second was an old friend Gret Teaching the children to read and write, She has a “steady” we hear, And is doing her best to make him “bite”. Dorothy she said was in Georgia Helping her hubby pick cotton. Marie H. runs a restaurant, And her favorite special is “corn au gratin.” Wilfred and Milo have just come back from a trip; They believe in seeing America first. They enjoy telling of their trip on the desert Where they almost died of thirst. (Turn to last page) ATHLETICS As a class we juniors boast of our athletic ability as being about the best in the school. After this modest statement we will go back to the days when we were freshmen and point out a few facts along the way. During our freshman year a number of us tried out for the basketball team. Although we placed only one man on the first ten. the rest of us did not think our work in vain because it only prepared us for better years to come. In the class tournaments we were not as good as we have proved ourselves since. The best we could do was to get last place. When we entered into our sophomore year, it was decided to add baseball to our sports. Since a few of our number had considerable ability in that line, we had two or three men on the baseball team. When basketball started in the fall, about the same fellows were out again, but this time we had two men on the first ten as well as several others who showed improvement over the previous year In the class tournaments we proved that our team was as good as any of the others and captured first place. In the spring we had some of our boys out for track, and we succeeded in turning out two or three track men who showed their worth and promised to be good material for future years. Upon entering our junior year we again had a baseball team. This year we had three men.on the team, while several others came out, and did creditable work. When basketball was started, many of us were glad to hear that a second team was to be started. This gave more fellow’s a chance to plav and afforded the best kind of training for the boys who are aspiring to place on the first team later. We had three men on the first ten and five on the second team. In the class tournaments we again captured first place. The juniors, feeling they had a pretty good team, challenged the rest of the school and were beaten bv only two points. Encouraged by this near victory, they tried it again and were beaten by but one point. We felt almost as elated over these two games as if we had won them, for it shov ed our team was one to be proud of. With spring weather coming, we have hopes of putting out a good track team, and we also hope to show some real stuff in athletics next year. Willis Sherman OPERETTA “Look! Listen! Did you hear? An operetta, yes, an operetta!” Several weeks before Christmas Miss Ethel Gay suggested an operetta to our class. Of course, there were lots of pros and cons, but the majority voted for an operetta. After a short time the books arrived, and Miss Gay started selecting her cast and chorus. This was a hard job, as she had to have people that could sing (or at least thought they could.) Then began the strenuous weeks of practice. Colds seemed to be the go at this time, and we had a hard time getting the best of them. At first we had practices at school, and finally at the theater. It’s a wonder that the coaches have any nerves left because we nearly wore them out. The dances were quite a specialty, and the chorus girls deserve credit for such hard work—and such a supply of breath! All in all we had a willing cast even though they did gaze at the ceiling and chew gum. etc. At last the great nights arrived, the 25th and 26th. I’m sure we won’t forget the “behind the scenes” business and especially the “making up” part of the performance. We had good crowds, and we really felt satisfied to think that we had succeeded. Hurrah! for the juniors. Dorothy Heider THE JUNIOR MIXER On December 18th the junior class gave a Christmas mixer. A splendid program was presented which ran as follows: Piano Duet—Elaine Erickson and Dorothy Heider One Act Play—Marie Uahnub. Viola Bahnub, Ceona Ehlo, Lucille Stelloh and Dorothy Heider. Two Banjo Selections—David Lewis, accompanied by Charles Teringer at the piano. Jokes—Marie Bahnub Two short playlets—Marie Heider, Audrey Vogel, Kenneth Hanson. Edward Hesse, Bernie Kruger and Melvin Olson. Immediately after the program Santa arrived with bells on. After the gifts had been distributed the floor was cleared, and dancing began in full swing. The Xiedfeldt trio played. Later in the evening, light refreshments were served, consisting of popcorn balls, candy apples and peanuts, and soon all left wishing each other a “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.” Dorothy Heider CAN YOU IMAGINE David in a bathing suit?

We had something planned for them (thev will tell you whether thev enioyed it or not) on each floor of the-' t building and even outside.

A short program was opened by a boxing match between “Amos” and “Andy” with “Jack Dempsey” as referee. The next number was a play called “The Raft” by John Sid Steen-sen and Vera Mae Naset. Betty Norris and Lois Schwartz then entertained us with two songs. Rudolph Niedfeldt gave a humorous selection about “Christopher Columbo, who lived in Italia.” A group of girls sang a number of songs. They also played a few selections on some combs as an encore. The program was closed by a paper bag relay in which all were invited to take part. The rest of the even'ng was spent in dancing. The music was furnished by an orchestra composed of Mrs. McEldowney, Win-and Robert McEldowney, John id Steensen and Robert Mau. A delicious lunch of ice cream and cookies ended the evening.

Next morning in our class, we find hat we are sadly left behind, the class of thirty-four enobled the name of Sophomore! John S. Steensen If AW That w 9 If u WE SOPHOMORES We sophomores are a merry group, For marks, we never give a whoop. But just the same, we’re not so bad, So please don’t say so and make us sad. Wayne Friell X, Sid S: It won’t be long before 1”11 2 , be in the flower of manhood. ? Gerald idiot. Q: Shut up, you blooming Three sophomores were among the first ten men on the basketball team this year. They were Elmer Klos, Francis Capper, and Rudolph Niedfeldt. Each of these is entitled to a letter. Gerald Quackenbush, Billy Johnson and Freddie Weingarten played on the second team. Those who played in the class tournament were Freddie Weingarten, Gerald Quackenbush. John Sid Steensen, Clifford Hannum, Earl Linse and Billy Johnson. Francis Capper acted as coach. In the game which we played with the juniors we were defeated 29-0. The one-sidedness of the game seemed to be due to the fact that only three sophomores had had much training in basketball while several of the juniors were almost letter men. In the game with the freshmen we were also outplayed -5. The freshmen challenged the sophomores to another game a few weeks later. This time we outplayed them 12-8. 'I he three men on the second team are promising men for next year’s first squad. A few sophomores played on the high school baseball team which was organized in the fall of 1981. Some sophomores are expecting to take part in track work this spring. How We Answer Our Teachers: Freshmen—Huh ? Sophomore—What ? Juniors—I beg your pardon. Seniors—I did not comprehend the nature of your inquiry. —o— Boxing instructor (after first lesson): Now have you any questions to ask ? Roland Labus (dazed): Yes, how much is your correspondence course ? Prof: June, why haven’t you your history lesson today? June: Yesterday you said history repeats itself, and I thought the same lesson would do again. —o— Earl Linse: Why are girls like the letter L? Gerald Q: We can’t make love wjjh-out them. —o— Betty N: My mother has a new picture all hand painted. Harold J: That’s nothing. Our whole new fence is hand painted. On Friday evening, September 25, 1931, we, the sophomore class, escorted the timid freshmen into the gymnasium for their first real treat. Shivering and shaking, they were led across kernals of corn, w'ire door mats, etc. After having walked on cinders with their bare feet, they were then guided through the garage door, which leads to the manual training room. In the manual training room they were led under wet gunny sacks and across ladders. By that time they were willing to sit on a “hot chair.” After they had been shown to a more comfortable chair at last, and were still blindfolded, we told them that it had teen our luck to have an airplane crash near the sehoolhouse. Some of the sophomores had appeared on the scene of the accident, and had picked up some of the remains of the pilot, which included the brains (cooked oatmeal), the bones (wet sticks), one hand (a wet glove stuffed with cotton), and the eyes (grapes). These were passed to each freshman in turn to be examined as far as the sense of touch and imagination permitted. After this de-dightful inventory of the aforesaid pilot, dancing was announced and continued until the refreshment committee was ready to serve the lunch. It is a matter of record that no freshman had lost his appetite. What the faculty thinks: Freshman’s faults are many, Sophomores have only tw o: Everything they say, And everything they do. —o— Miss Richardson: How are you coming with your addition, Billy? Billy J: I can add the zeros all right but it’s the numbers that bother. —o— Quacky: Does this car always rattle like this? Rudy N: No, only when its running. Mr. Tweed (unwrapping a package before his biology class): 1 have here an excellent specimen of a member of the frog family. (He draws forth two hamburger sandwiches.) Dear me! I could have sworn I’d eaten my lunch. Miss Lound: What kind of a sentence that? Elmer Klos: A long one. HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1935 Although our class history isn't especially long, it is important enough to be included with our annual news. The assembly room was felt to be quite an uncomfortable place the first day, but happily, things grew from bad to better. After a few falls on Tom’s oiled floor and after Norma Asmus had walked into the assembly with her hat on, we felt that we had quite adequately deserved our modest places in the assembly room. The initiation was really a terrible thing to encounter. Every sophomore had as last, as they thought, arranged the best treatment for us. Each and every freshman walked boldy to the altar to meet his doom. But, if CLASS EDITOR—Albert Larsen the sophomores had expected gruesome results, they were sadly disappointed, for we all went home in excellent condition with the exception of the hot green pop’s after effects. The class officers, who were elected on the following Fridav. were: Albert Larsen, president; Bob Mau, vice president; Lillian Jones, secretary; and Beatrice Hanson, treasurer. After the first six weeks we seemed to work a little harder, probably because of the news which the report cards brought. The first mixer was quite an unusual event for us. Not manv tried their luck at dancing, but we cheerfully hoped to do better in the future, and all returned for the next gathering. Christmas vacation seemed weeks too short, for much of its atmosphere still remained after school had once more commenced. After the first semester things seemed a bit more difficult, but I cannot say, frankly, just how much harder we worked. When spring vacation had come and gone, the juniors began their plans for the Prom, and w e were much disappointed to hear we were not to be included among the guests, although some girls received jobs as punch servers. Nov- that the year is almost over, we find high school to be quite an enjoyable affair after all, desoite the hardships it presents to newcomers. With an ever growing lovalty to Salem High, we leave the freshman rows to take one more step towrard that day of sorrow and joy—Graduation Day. 8 - bp Row—Roscoe Young, Fay Cullmann, La Verne Losching, Rex Dunlap, Vernon Dyer, Harold Jandt, Robert Mau.

Mr. Rowe: What’s worrying you? Joe Green: I was just wondering how many legs you gotta pull out of a centipede to make him limp. It may not be proper etiquette to use opera glasses in a musical comedy, but it shows good form. AGRICULTURE Freshman agriculture is the study of different crops and soils and their care and needs. It is a course in horticulture (the raising of fruits) as well as agriculture. In the fall we studied inter-tilled crops, the first two of which were corn and potatoes. We also studied grains and clover seeds which we had a chance to judge at Madison. But in this contest our skill was not quite sufficient to bring home a cup. Next we studied the processes required for growing tobacco. We studied wheat in the spring and made a trip to Kruger’s mill to learn the many processes that wheal must go through to become flour. On every crop that we took up we found which types and varieties were best for this community. We next took up the raising of fruits, which included pruning, grafting, and planting as wTell as controlling diseases. The freshman Agric. boys believe that this course of the first year is helpful in learning the correct and modern methods of agriculture and horticulture which is entitled to successful farming of the present time. We therefore give Mr. Row'e grateful credit for the work and teaching he has done for us. Carlet Miller WILBUR HAUSER Wilbur is a funny lad; If you tease him, he gets mad. He does own a water gun With which he has a lot of fun. He certainly is a naughty boy Whether or not he’s full of joy. Each student at noon-hour he does shoot And thinks himself especially cute. Marlon Schwier INITIATION They stood in the Ag. room and waited, This green little freshman class. Each trying to picture the future, Each little laddie and lass. “Now what are you waiting so patiently for?” You would ask a freshman bright. “Why don’t you know'”, this person would say, This is initiation night. Albert I.arsen FRESHMAN ATHLETICS The freshmen contributed largely to athletics this year. During basketball season there were eight men out, and one received a letter. In the Inter-Class Tournament the frosh w'ere tied w’ith the seniors for second place. In the first game they were beaten by the seniors by a narrow' margin, but they came back strong and beat the sophomores. There are a large number of freshmen out for track, and we feel sure they will do big things this year. Fay Cullmann The freshman class of ’35 Sometimes acts more dead than alive. But this, I think, is partly due To those sophomores they sit next to. The sophomores act so very sedate, But just the same they come in late; They love to whisper and love to hiss, And next we see them in Prof’s office. The juniors, givers of the Prom, Would not let the “freshies” come; Therefore we “freshies” rise up in arms And wush them all the worst of harms. The seniors next to the windows sit, They 11 soon be gone, and we’re glad of it. They hog the whole floor at a dance And make us sit as in a trance. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB A bit of tuning, a fair enough start, Skillfully they skip each flat and sharp, While agonized we listening sit, Painfully bearing the sound of it. Jennie G. “He’s perfectly quiet”, said the livery stable man to Jennie Grisw'old and Joyce Atwater, who were hiring a horse, “only you must take care to keep the rein off his tail.” When they returned he asked how they got along. “Splendidly”, they exclaimed. “We had one shower, but w'e took turns holding the umbrella over the horse’s tail.” Miss Gay: George Washington was born on February 22, A.

The team won nine out of seventeen games during the season. The team tied with Galesville for fourth place in the Coulee Conference. It won third place in the tournament at Vir-oqua by winning the consolation series. For this they received a fine silver trophy. Every man on the, ten played his required four games, so each wins a letter. The second team also has shown very good work, having won seven out of twelve games and therefore having won third place in the Coulee Conference second teams. Onalaska’s second team won first and Bangor’s second.

The following eight teams were selected to play: Cashton, Kendall, Lone Rock. Ithaca. W’est Lima, Soldiers Grove, V:ola and West Sa’e . We played our first game with Viola Thursday evening at 9:C0 o’clock. The first half was poorly played, and our team was behind by a score of 12-3. In the second half Salem outplayed the Viola team, but, with a lead too great for us to overcome. they beat us by a score of 17-11. In the other games which were played on Thursday Kendall defea'ed Cashton 14-12 in an overtime game, Ithaca won from Lone Rock 20-M, and Soldiers Grove lost to W’est Lima by a score of 16-12. On Friday, the second day of the tournament, we played Soldiers Grove at 4:CC o'clock in the afternoon. The two teams played on even terms during the first half and left the floor with the score tied 8-8. In the second half, however, our team “got going’’ and completely swamped them. The final score was 21-12. In the other Friday games the Ca hton-Lone Rock ga!me was very one-sided with’.Cash-ton winning 22-6; Kendall won from Ithaca in a thrilling double overtime game; and W’est Lima, after leading for over three fourths of the game, lost a hard fought battle to Viola. On Saturday evening we played Cashton for the consolation title. The game was very close and hard fought. Cashton was leading at the half 11-8. In the second half our team came from behind to win a hard-earned victory bv a score of 23-20. This was one of the fastest and best played games of the tournament. The crowd was brought to its feet several times by the brilliant shooting of both teams. 0. Homestad of Cashton and E. Havens of Mfest Salem, two of the outstanding players in the tournament, led the scoring with 13 and 16 points, respectively. A trophy was awarded to our team, and each player received a silver medal. In the championship game Kendall lost to Viola after plaving overtime. Kendall led most of the time, bu a late rally by the Viola team won the championship trophy, and each player a gold medal. The Kendall plavers received silver medals.—Roy Havens 0' w ..............0 BAND BAND W. S. HIGH SCHOOL BAND This year our band under the direction of Mr. Nichols, prospered in its music to an unusual decree in view of the fact that so many new players had to be recruited at the beginning of the term. The high school has been entertained with concert music on several occasions, notably the Armistice Day, Washington’s Birthday, and Music Week programs. Twice the band was invited to play in La Crosse, once at the La Crosse Teachers College and later at Central High School. Some of the band members attended the annual Music Festival and participated in the various events of the day; some played solos, some played in “Susie’s” band, and most of them played in the Western District Band, which is a mass organization consisting of music students in the various high schools in this part of the state. On April 19 a band concert was given at the pavilion, but this, unfortunately, was not very well attended. Those who did come, however, were very pleased with the music. The most interesting experience for the band members this year was the participation in the district band tournament at Viroqua on April 23. Our band contested in Class “A” at the Temple Theater at 11:35 in the morning. The soloists were Billy Johnson and Kenneth Storandt, with Elmer Mau as their accompanist. In the afternoon at 3:00 o’clock the big parade of the bands was held. The next day we learned that the West Salem band had been awarded third place in Class “A”. We feel that the year has been a very profitable one for us in every way, and we are more than glad that the band work is one of the major activities in our school. The instrumentation of the band is as follows: Clarinets: Elmer Mau Stanley Oaks Dougald Blackburn Ralph Cullmann Alice Griswold Bernie Kruger Anker Michelson Norman Nelson Gerald Quackenbush Kenneth Storandt Frederick Wege Cornets: Billy Johnson Robert McEldowney Edward Hesse Alta Heider Lois Ann Johnson Betty Norris Trombones: Rudolph Niedfeldt Raymond Diekroeger Roland Labus Richmond Griswold Altos: Fay Cullmann Arline Cassel Saxophones: Raymond Hemker Evelyn Kokkeby Ardith McEldowney Wilma Goedecke Billy Sylvester Baritone: Wilfred Oldenburg Flute: James Wakefield Piccolo: Albert Blackburn James Wakefield )!)(� .•: Albert Larsen Sousaphones: Francis Capper Maynard Diekroeger Robert Mau Drums: Kenneth Hanson John Sid Steensen James Angus Johnson Bobby Lee Larson QiIIHIIIMIHHMIMI.I.....IIIIIIIHIM,tllllllll,I,H,M,,,|||HM|MmmI,,,„,,,,„|„, ..............................,,,.[71 ACTIVITIES ............................................................................................................ 0- ACTIVITIES •0 GIRLS GLEE CLUB In 1930 the Girls’ Glee Club came under the direction of Miss Gay, I.o s Schwartz assisting at the piano. During the first part of the year the girls received their pins. Miss Gay taught us several new songs. Our aim was to develop musical culture among ourselves and try to furnish music occasionally for assembly periods. In 1932 so many girls wished to join that Miss Gay had to divide the club into two sections. The freshmen formed the Junior Glee Club, and the sophomores, juniors and seniors formed the Senior Glee Club. Th� s plan worked out very well. For the last two years several of the girls have won places in the Music Festival contests. Last fall Lois Schwartz and Alta Heider. as representatives from the West Salem High School, sang in a mixed chorus at the Teachers Convention in La Crosse. This year our attention has been directed to the operetta. “Betty Lou’’, which was sponsored by the junior class in place of the customarv class plav. Some of the girls took the leads, while a large number ass:sted in the choruses. A number of boys from the Boys’ Glee Club also took part. As we haven’t had previous experience in a musieal comedy, those taking part especially enjoyed “Betty Lou”. Although none of the students partaking had trained voices, each one did his best, and we got along quite well. I am sure all the girls enjoy belonging to the Glee Clrb with such a jolly director as Miss Gay in charge. Elaine Jeffers TRACK MEETS On April 22 our track team went to Holmen to participate in a dual meet. We won the meet by a score of 58-50. Salem took first in eight of the twelve events. Raymond Hemker took first in the ICO yd., 220 yd. and broad jump. Earl Havens took first in the half mile, pole vault, second in the discus and third in the shot put. Roy Havens took first in the low hurdles, tied for first in the high jump, second in the pole vault and third in the high hurdles. Robert Peterson took first in the 440 and tied for first in the high jump, also third in the discus. Melvin Olson got second in the mile and Rudolph Niedfeldt third Rudolph also tied for first in the high jump. Robert McDonald placed third in the 440. Bangor came here on April 28th to engage with us in a similar meet. This we won by the overwhelming score of 83 to 25. The high hurdles were won by Stanley Oaks with Roy Havens third. Roy also tied for first in the low hurdles and took second in the pole vault and high jump. The 100 yd. and 220 yd. dashes were won by Raymond Hemker with Roscoe Young second in both. Later Raymond also won the broad jump. Robert Peterson won both the 440 and high jump. He placed second in the shot put and third in the discus. Robert McDonald placed second in the discus and 440. Earl Havens took four firsts in this meet in the half mile, pole vault, shot put, and discus. Fay Cullmann took third in the half mile. Melvin Olson second in the mile and Raymond Diekroeger third. Elmer Klos took third in the pole vault. On May 5th we went to La Crosse to take part in the Coulee Conference track meet to be held at the fair grounds. In this we lost first place to Galesville by the small margin of three points. The final scores were Galesville 39V2; West Salem 36 2; Onalaska 22; Holmen 17; Bangor 16. In this track meet Earl Havens again starred winning firsts in the half mile, pole vault, discus, and placed third in the shot put. Robert Peterson took first in the high jump and fourth in the 440. Raymond Hemker took second in the 100 yd. dash, third in the 220, and third in the broad jump. Roy Havens tied for second in the high jump. Stanley Oaks placed third in the low hurdles. Roscoe Young placed fourth in the 220. Robert McDonald placed fourth in the discus. JUNIOR OPERETTA Instead of a class play this year the junior class sponsored a three-act comic operetta, “Betty Lou, the Dream Girl”, given on February 25 and 26. Members from all classes took part. At the beginning of the story the Pendletons are in financial difficulties, and Mrs. Pendleton wants to marrv off her daughter, Betty Lou, to a rich man. As Betty Lou naturally does not care to do this, she seeks escape by dressing as a small child. The disguise ' is a complete success. Not only does she deceive the prospective suitor, Mr. Brooks, who is soon found to be a crook, but she charmingly beguiles Robert Sherwood, her brother’s guest. A very bashful young man with grown-up girls, he finds no difficulty in being a companion to Betty Lou as “little Miss Peter Pan” and tells her that he is in love with the photograph of Betty Lou, whom he supposes to l� e the child’s older sister. When he learns that Betty Lou herself is the girl of his photograph, he finds he need no longer be bashful, and with a little encouragement, at the point of a nistol, from her, he succeeds admirably in the inevitable love scene. Complications center around a cabinet with a secret drawer supposedly containing valuable jewels. The crooks, however, are outwitted, and Brooks, briefly and miraculously reformed, sets out for Jersey with Annie, the maid, who promises to supply radishes from their garden. The orchestra, directed by Mr. Bernie Mau, was composed of violins, flute, cornet, and clarinet. About seventeen musical numbers were included in the entire operetta counting the solos, chorus numbers, and orchestral numbers. Miss Johnston generously helped as pianist for rehearsals and production. The dancers were coached by Mr. Rowe and Miss Lound while Miss Gay and Mr. Petersen directed the singing and speaking parts. THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB A group of boys who were interested in singing were organized this year into the Boys’ Glee Club. This club was under the direction of Mr. Petersen, and Elmer Mau was the accompanist at the piano. After a few rehearsals the boys sang at the P. T. A., and, as most of them had not sung for an audience previous to this, they took refuge behind darky make-up and sang negro songs. Apparently this contribution was enjoyed because the boys were requested to sing before the same group again later. For a few weeks previous to the Music Festival which was held at La Crosse, the club sang with the Girls Glee Club, the entire group being under the direction of Rev. Ottersen. At the Festival the boys and girls sang in a chorus with students from other schools. AG. NEWS On March 4th the Future Farmers gave a mixer at the school. The first number on the program was a group of brass ensemble selections by “Ham’s Hot Hoboes”. This was followed by a mock wedding with Milton Schwier as the lucky man and K;eth Murrav the blushing bride. The Bovs’ Glee Club then sang two numbers which we all enjoyed. The performance of the “Toonerville Follies” was one of the highlights of the evening and came in for its full share of applause. Fay Cullmann’s monologue was well given and was enjoyed by all. Rudolph Niedfeldt and Dorothy Heider added a vocal duet to the program, which was concluded with a solo by Rudolph. The rest of the evening was spent in dancin« Robert McEldowney QiimimimmilMmimiiMiiiiiiiiiiliimiiM...iiiimiimiihm............ mi.... ACTIVITIES •9iti9MiiiiMiiiMtiiMiaia9 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalaaaaaaaaaiaaaaaaaiaaaaiaaaaiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiaail MMMIIIMMMMMM AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES The West Salem Apr. boys showed stock at the Wisconsin State Fair and won 120 ribbons with a total premium value of $979. Robert McDonald received $138 in premium money and also won the coveted first place of the 4-H division litter class in which twenty-five litters were shown. Gerald Quackenbush, Leonard Atwater, Anker Michelson, and Goodwin Hass each won $50 or more. At the IjH Crosse Inter-State Fair the Ag. boys won one grand champion ribbon, two champion ribbons, first place in the Livestock contest and first place in the Showman’s contest. Showing at the Vernon County Fair brought the boys $700 in premium money including eight grand champion ribbons. Six teams represented the West Salem Ag. Department at the Wisconsin State Judging Contests at Madison October 16 and 17. The meat team consisting of Frederick Wege, Wilbert Labus and Charles Teringer won first place in meat judging and brought back the cup offered by the Oscar Mayer Packing Company of Madison, Wisconsin. This cup, now won twice by West Salem, must be won three times to be kept permanently. Charles Teringer was the champion judge of the contest, and Wilbert I abus placed fourth. In the dairy products judging contest, the team consisting of Archie Peterson, Kenneth Hanson and Bemie Kruger won first place in butter judging and first place in cheese judging. Kenneth Hanson was second high judge of the cheese judging contest. The training of the boys for these contests not only benefits the boys of each team, but it reaches every boy in the agricultural department of the school, for all boys are trained alike in each contest, and the highest individuals represent their school. A contest in which 128 rural students took part in judging and identifying grain and cattle was held in the high school April 29. Thirty-one prizes of money and merchandise were given, besides a free educational movie for all those taking part in judging. It was the most successful contest ever held here. G. A. A. The G. A. A., an organization for girls interested in athletics, was reorganized shortly after school began last fall. Lois Schwartz was elected president and Florence Clements was selected for the dual office of secretary and treasurer. The girls then began to work hard to obtain the 400 points required to win a letter. It is always a problem to sell enough season basketball tickets, so Mr. Tweed evolved a plan whereby each girl received five points for each ticket sold. Ten girls profited by this plan. In the early part of November the girls decided to have a hare and hound chase, and so divided the girls into two groups. Every odd numbered girl on the roll was a hare, while the even numbered girls were hounds. They started at the high school, after securing the needed wieners, buns, marshmallows, etc. After following a much detoured route, they ended the chase near the asylum and roasted the wieners, by now much the worse for wear. On another occasion, when the weather permitted, the members rented a sleigh and team and went to Bangor and back. At the time of going to press the girls are planning a spring out-door affair. Ruth Schwartz BUSKIN ( LI B CONTEST A dramatic contest was held at the La Crosse Teachers College, October 31, 1931, in which the West Salem High School was invited to participate. This contest was sponsored by the Buskin Club, the dramatic club of the college. Under the direction of Miss Alice Lound and Miss Faye Aldrich a one act play, “Not Quite Such a Goose” was given. After the tryouts the following students were chosen: Lois Schwartz, Florence Clements, Louise Wakefield, Roy Havens and Raymond Hemker. The play was given at a high school mixer, a P. T. A. meeting, and at the La Crosse contest. We were not awarded a winning place in the contest, but we gained valuable experience and had a good time. BASEBALL Last fall we continued the baseball which was started a year ago. Due to lack of time and the scarcity of high school baseball teams, we played only Cashton. We played two games with Cashton and won them both. The players were: Catchers, Willis Sherman and Roy Havens; pitchers, Earl Havens and Robert McDonald; short stop, Elmer Klos; first base, Robert Peterson; second base, Robert McEl-downey; third base, Lawrence Halverson; fielders, Raymond Hemker. Roy Havens, Earl Havens and Robert McDonald.

Richard Morgan, the minister, attempts to be charitable to (he poor, but the honorable vestrv object. The vestry, composed of Lee, Smiley, Stafford, and Dr. Gerald are very fond of being consulted—that is. all but Dr. Gerald —and heartily disapprove of the “goings-on” of the young “Whipper-snanpers” of the church, who have decided to stage a carnival. Old Mr. Smiley uses an ear trumpet, and much comedv is developed through his use o it in attempting not to miss anything. Sarah Truman, a member of the church, dies, and this brings her nephew. Jerry Truman, and his friend Dudley Grant, into the nlay. Both are sons of milli9naires and soon capture the hearts of two pretty young girls, Barbara Lee and Elizabeth Morgan. The nonchalant Dudley Grant is forced to admit, during his courtship of Elizabeth Morgan, that he doesn’t understand girls very well. Finally, having proved his worth, he is encouraged by Mrs. Morgan. Elizabeth’s mother, and all is well. Josephine Stafford, a pretty, rich girl, defies her father’s wishes, and marries the minister. Wade Truman, Jerry’s father comes to visit his son and finds him deenlv involved in farming and a love affair with Barbara Lee. This young couple gain the consent of their elders to marry, and all ends happily. FORENSICS The annual forensic contest of the West Salem High School was held at the high school auditorium April 22. In oratory there were five entries: Elmer Mau. Melvin Olson, John Sid Steenson, Fay Cullmann and Richmond Griswold.

Mary C. A boy came strutting down the aisle, His hopes for marks were soaring, When accidentally a well placed foot Set the assembly roaring. Albert L. Off to Ag. class we do go To learn of things we do not know, And into our chairs we do relax To watch Mr. Rowe play with grafting wax. Lyle Vogel 1 found a fat box elder bug, Crawling along the floor. I decided to take it with me, Until I collected some more. Dorothy II. Geometry with circles and angles, To me will always be Getting itself into tangles And leaving the solution to me. Alberta M. Three senior girls on pleasure bent Vamped a trio and were content To linger just two blocks away And let the teachers fret that day. The seventh of September, first day of school. Rid Salem homes of many a fool. With heads a-droop like rained-on fowl, We all did enter, each with a scowl. In serving hot lunches, the freshies are keen, The dishes and sinks are always left clean. “Who ate those crackers , inquired Miss Peck. No one answers; who cares to get heck? Ruth Olson When teachers say with scornful looks, “We must go faster to finish our books”, Then I wish that summer would come With glorious vacation and lots of fun. Willis Sherman The names jotted down by Prof, and Rowe Are not as numerous as some may know, But Tweed, with his glasses, fools many a kid And very effectively puts on the lid. ENGLISH III When I think of English Class, I greatly fear that I won’t pass. When the teacher askes me a question 1 get an attack of indigestion. Does she assign long lessons? Plenty! From sixty-six to one hundred twenty On top of that, Miss Alice Lound Makes us learn passages of “Snowbound.” Life is Real! Life is Earnest! But the guy that gets ahead Is the one that studies English When he ought to be in bed. Bernie Kruger There are many students of Salem high Who study enough to just get by, But there are others who work quite hard And think of nothing but a good report card. Dougald Blackburn PROM NIGHT LAMENT I bought a swell suit; I bought a keen lid; I dated a girl, But got no bid! I took back the suit; Got cash for the lid; Give girlie the air, For I got no bid. Richmond G. Junior Answer To Frcshie Lament Maybe we should have changed our plans Before the night did come, And allowed the Freshies at our Prom So they could chew their gum. Robert McDonald WHEN C LASSES COME Listen my children and you shall hear The buzzer ring when the time is near; For classes to pass, for students to go From classrooms to an assembly row. And then the shuttle of moving feet, Comes to your ears, Ah! how sweet, Then all arc quiet and watchful once more, Waiting for the buzzer to ring as before. Ken H. “ROWE” Of all the men 1 ever met, This one is in a hurry, You see him evervwhere you go He’s always got to scurrv. No matter what he has to do He’s always up and coming, Rowe’s got pep and sr.up enough, To keep the whole world humming. Leonard A. WANTED 1.

The winners represented West Salem in the Coulee Conference Contest which was held at Bangor on April 26th. Bangor, with eleven points to her credit, won the championship cup. While West Salem was the nearest rival with nine points. Alice Griswold was the only one to win a banner for West Salem with her declamation “Keeping a Seat at the Benefit.” Richmond Griswold, who spoke “Theodore Roosevelt” was awarded 2nd place in oratory. Florence Clements, reading “Lincoln, the Man of the People” won 4th place in that event. As winners of first and second places in the oratorical and declamatory events at the Coulee Conference were given the privilege to speak at the district contest held at La Crosse, West Salem was represented bv Richmond Griswold and Alice Griswold. The La Crosse District includes some forty odd high schools, and, as each of the various leagues sent two contestants. it was necessary to have elimination congests during the day to determine which speakers should aonear on the evening program. Richmond, being awarded first place in the preliminary contest of his grouo, spoke in the final contest. Although our contestants did not win any of the high r'aces in the district. contest, we feel that onr school made an excellent showing in forensics this year. We have high hopes that another year mav bring the conference cup to West Salem. JUNIOR CLASS PROPHECY (Continued from page 11) Of course we went to the circus; The side shows were a sight! But David attracted the most attention As the fat man in a fight! At West Point we also stopped To watch the cadets at their drill, (Maybe we weren’t surprised to see Malvin!) He was dressed up “fit to kill”. Elaine N . joined up with the follies, And she surely has made a hit While she’s worked her way to the top Charmingly, and bit by bit. We didn’t see Charles, but we’ve heard of him For he’s the “Paderewski” of the day. He’s giving concerts all over the country, And oh, how he can play! We saw Helen in Chicago And where do you suppose she was? In her own beauty shoppe A curling and combing fuzz. Away off in Los Angeles In a well-known library Was a girl of familiar countenance, We all remember her as “JefTy”. In Pasedena, Audrey and June we met As we were walking down the street, They said they were not married yet And didn’t intend to be! Audrey was teaching music school, And June was helping her. W’e knew they’d make a success in life As brilliant they always were. To Chicago we came and again did stop Where Purnie and Ann we met. Thev told us of their lingerie shop On Fourth and Nicollete. From there we visited a hospital Of great farre and renown. And here we met a surgeon Robed in a sterile gown. This surgeon was Willis S. Assisting him we were surprised to see, A familiar person clad in white Who should it be but our Marie B! We entered the Wrigley Building Which was gumming up so fast. W’e interviewed the manager— None other than Goodwin Hass. His secretary 1 soon met With whom I went to tea. Her classmates she remembered yet, Our dear friend Vera E. Next we went abroad the steamer, The waves Were dashing high But our fears were soon squelched When we heard that Cap’n. Joseph was nigh. One night in New York we went to the movies. Where a fat boy ushered us up in the balcony! We hardly recognized Anker For he had grown as fat as a bolony! Upon the stage stood “Chattarand” The world wide famous magician Garbed in black and waving his arms ft was Ken! He really had quite a position. Thus the story endeth, And we hope you’ve not been bored While reading this tale of adventure; Rather we hope that with you we have scored. Vera Erickson Elaine Jeffers Jim: Who’s Andy Gump? Poly: Don’t you ever read “Who’s Who in America?” —o— Bob: Lois, dear, anything you say goes. Lois: Bob. —o— Mr. Rowe (to country boy): How can you afford to sell your melons at ten cents apiece? Are they windfalls? DISTRICT TRACK MEET On Saturday May 14, our track team went to La Crosse to participate in the District track meet. We were in Class C along with Galesville, Blair, La Farge, Viola, Ontario, Ca.f h-ton, Holmen, Onalaska and Bangor. Galesville won with 25 points. Viola was second with 19 U, Blair had 17, La Farge 16, West Salem 12%, Bangor 5, Onalaska 3Vi, Holmen 3, Cash-ton Vi, and Ontario 0. Earl Havens won the pole vault at 10 ft. 3 in. He also took second in the half mile and third in the discus. Robert Peterson tied with Viola and La Farge for first place in the high jump at 5 ft. 8 in. Roy Havens was in a four way tie for third in the pole vault. Grocer: Well, here’s the molasses. Where’s your money? Fay Cullmann: In the bottom of the jug. Mr. Rowe: Name one of the principal uses of cowhide. Willard S: It holds the cow together. Mr. Tweed: Did you get all the questions in the test? Earl L: Oh, yes! But it was the answers that bothered. —o— Miss Gay: George Washington couldn’t tell a lie. Windy F: I can the minute I hear one. —o— Mr. Tweed: We’ll have a quiz today. Class: W’e haven’t any paper. Mr. Tweed: I’ll get some, but, in the meantime, copy these questions. —o— Arline C: Little things are the things that tell—especially little sisters and brothers. —o— Mr. Tweed: What this track team needs is life. Francis C. (thinking it meant imprisonment): Oh, my! Don’t you think thirty days would be plenty? —o— Mr. Tweed: Did you get hit in the fracas ? John S: No, I was hit on the head. —o— Florence C: Handsome men are al-way conceited. Charles T: Not always. I’m not. —o— Miss Lound: What are you doing Elaine ? Elaine N: Nothing.
