Instruction ends in the school room, but education ends only with life. MAVIS DAHLGREN Dahlgren Mavis certainly en- joys sports and lead- ing cheers for the team. Good natured, unpre- tentious, she is a friend to all. INA GIBSON Inie I have never seen anything worth while getting angry about. Be silent and safe- silence never betrays you. HELEN GOLZ Goldie Helen is as fond of dates as an Arab. Full of pep from tip to toe, she's got the pep to make things go. GEORGE it To blush is beaut but sometimes incon- venient. Here's to a girl, the pride of her school. Honor, worth, courage, she has in her rule. GILMORE Gus Drexel's chief delight is Phy. Ed. Nothing great was ever achieved with- out enthusiasm. KEITH HAMILTON Hamilton He was often late to class-better late than never. There are some things men confess with ease, and others with dif- ficulty. ROBERT HENKE Bob Robert is a great F.F.A. man—some- day a farmer he'll be. I'm so busy, doing nothing-that I haven't time for anything else. ADELINE KEMNITZ Kern She thinks twice before she speaks —then speaks to herself. If she has any faults, She has left us in doubt. LAWRENCE JOHNSON Ollie Wit and wisdom are born with me. People often grudge others what they can not enjoy themselves. JULIUS KING Julie He can argue a point until it is worn out. Tell me the way to gain knowledge, with- out study. 6 BILL LONG Bill Bill's only fault is that he has no fault A very diligent student and a friend worth knowing.” GORDON MAECHTLE ”Maechtle” Neither will I make myself anybody's laughing stock. ”When I work, I work, When I play, I fiddle.” LOIS MILLER Peter” Life is short I'm here to enjoy it. Sing away sorrow, dance away care; I'm off for a good time, come along if you aare. ARNOLD SCHWERSINSKE Arnie” Women to me are eternal questions. Greater men than I may have lived but I doubt it. IS SONNENBERG onny � � ways are ways of ts and all ire peace. I To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved. FRANCIS LONG Francie My memory is so bad that many times I forget my own name. Where there is music and dancing let me be too. ROSE McCHESNEY Rosie You can't beat the Irish. ’Where joy and duty clash, let duty go to smash. LARRY SCHULTZ Schultz Thou shalt find him the best of good fellows. Smile for exercise, it will strengthen the muscles of good humor. JOHN SMITH Johnny John knows that foot- ball isn't the only place a good line is needed. I'm not afraid of work, I could lie down and sleep be- side it anytime. DONALD ZIMBECK Zimmy Don's athletic abil- ity ranks among the highest. Women admire the twinkling of athletic stars such as he. 7 JUNIOR CLASS 1st. Row—N. Zuelke, L. Harvey, A. Schoenfeld, R.

The official school paper was published this year by the Junior class as an English project. The Flambeau, meaning flame or light, was selected as the name of the paper. The cover has been patriotic throughout the year, the purpose being to inspire readers to buy War Stamps and Bonds. Ten issues have been published, the tenth and last dedicated to the 23 Seniors 'JiX ,1A BAND 1st. Row—D. Campbell, A. Kemnitz� E. Labrenz, L. Meyer, J. Schauer, I. Lieske, F. Squires, M.

Keefe, decided to start sectional rehearsals to put the band in full harmony so all parts could be heard. The band took part in various programs, played at football games to augment the cheering section, played at the Senior Class Play, and went to the village square under the leadership of John Smith, our present drum major, to play for boys leaving for the service. 24 F.
