Viewing the faculty from various angles, we concluded that they need a ring all to themselves. Next we come to the poor, overburdened workmen of the circus, the students, who, by means of their new union have obtained a half hour lunch period, and a whole ring to themselves. In the third ring we come to the true enter- tainment-sports, clubs and dances. Although we have finished the three rings, no circus would be complete without side shows. Here are found the various literary efforts and the parts for which we will most likely be sued. YJ X Q00 BQCIQ + Q1 swf 2 QBQX-1.

Entering Madame Lu-Lu's tent, we found the noted graphologist hard at work, analysing the signatures of the Wisconsin High faculty. To one side of her work were the comments the teachers had made when asked for their signatures. The editors, upon viewing her work, have only this to say- TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION! ,h'r1enc11y, versatile and self-confident Has a frank and sincere nature. X That's very clever. That ought to be fun. Do you want mine on top? Cultured, quick minded and friendly. Has a warm nature, is sen- f sitive and susceptible to Battery. I won't give you my signature until you tell me who is going to do the analysing. Oh, so you are.' I thought so. Here you are! I'm very generous -I'm very open. There's nothing cramped about my style. That will be fine. I'll see if Mrs. Zaeske has 7 a pen. Oh, can I use a pencil? Well, that's : awful, but that's it! 244 - Extremely quick minded, curious.

All right--I change mine so often q'.'j Let me know how . you analyse it, will you? ML N Extremely careful of details, highly cultured, idealistic and self conscious. Has good taste and a great deal of self re- spect. Do you know what a man at the World's Fair in Chicago said about my writing? He said that I must be a business woman or a teacher and I must be a teacher of languages. Isn't that marve- lous? Very quick thinker, easily adaptable to circum- stances. Extremely generous, and has fixed opin- ' ions. gba, D You've probably got the analysis made out already. ' up It's a frame-up. Why should I be first?

You know, I've always thought analysis very inter- esting. I believe in it somewhat, too. You're welcome. This IS a pretty poor place to write, isn't it? My signature is bad enough even under the best of circumstances. I guess I'll have to clean this pen sometime. Who is going to do the analysing? Maybe I'm miss- X ing something I ought to try!

J L f fl I -I rl T HONOR PIN The Wisconsin High School Honor Pin is the highest award that can be given to a student. The winning of this pin indicates outstanding scholastic ability and extra-curricular participation. 44 scholastic and four activity points and a 2.5 grade point average in the Junior and Senior years are the basic requirements for an Honor Pin. In 1944, William Brodhead was the only person to win an Honor Pin.

You've probably been rushing about madly for days, rehearsing speeches, the graduation march, greeting relatives, collecting library books, and clearing up Fines, saying good-bye to teachers-well, you know what we mean. But despite this terrific last minute rush, haven't you time to, look back just a little way? Remember your freshman year when you were just beginning to feel a part of that impressive group known as the Senior High ? Girls, you were waging the battle of lipstick with your parents, and coming out as unglamorous as before, until that glorious day when they relented and you felt at least eighteen in your Tangee natural ! And you boys-wasn't it about then that you began taking an interest in dancing-well, all right, not a very big interest-but you'll have to admit at least toying with the idea of asking a girl to dance at one of the Cotillions. And remember Biology? The frogs and the cow's heart, and -O. K. We'll stop. Then we were Sophomores. Shuffle was the big We can remember when Miss Hoard, reading the Merchant of Venice to her attentive Sophomore gesture, Oh hell! What have we here? at the appeared in the doorway. Ah yes-and then came the Junior year. Prom! the significant glance Toby had given her in the ha occasion of the year, of course. Prince of Morocco's part in the class exclaimed, with a sweeping precise moment that Mr. Davis Each of the girls was sure that ll meant that she would be Prom Queen! And how no one knew until the last-not even Parnee! What's more, the gym didn't look like a gym for once in the history of W. H. S. The year was climaxed by the success of Janie , and also by graduation night-when the juniors had a better time than did the Seniors. But what can compare with this, our final year? Remember Barbie Grant's hay- ride? That was fun! And following the football team, even when we did have to make up time. Will you ever forget the Philo dance and the Glamorous Sextette singing Her Tears Flowed Like Wine ? Clncidentally, the girls saved thbse pen- nieslj Remember how chagrined the girls were when a good quarter of the Senior boys graduated at mid-year? But we've had more serious reminders of total war than man shortages. For in- stance, our alumni and even class service lists. We all realize our responsibilities keenly, despite the general impression we may give to the contrary, and we're serious in our desire to make good. This then is the point at which we offer our thanks to the faculty-and we are',sincere. We've had fun-too often at others ex- pense perhaps, but it has been fu,n+and we will never forget it. That's about all- except to wish the coming Seniors the best of luck and good times-and then- I guess we're through. There's nothing more to talk about so, O. K., Senior- on your way. , gp., - A' 1 4 1 - wi 4 'M , 'v , ,QU 1 .gy b 3 1. -. 5 . 1 A D ,.. -N ,n v i- ' fg'15.iT.jF 1 ' 11A x u i-g w ',H V' f X 1 f 'Q+A ' ' , , V , :N . , , , ,w.uh., -' ,1 Ifgkf . vf vgjyif Qi ..

After paying out S10 to get some people to take the jobs, work still didn't get under way. The problem of absorbing the deficit was solved by Barbara Grant and a paper drive. So many Shorewood people responded that the Shorewood City Council held an emergency meeting and sent their trucks to collect the paper the people had set out for the annual collection. By the time the paper drive was over, the staff was getting ready to figure on a three page annual rather than have another collection. Luckily, Hi-Y filled the breach with an annual dance at which Dave Beckwith auctioned off lost and found articles. Dick johnson and Tom Langlois bid spiritedly for the latter's Epsilon Eta pin, with Langlois winning. How- ever, he didn't have to pay as much for it the second time he bought it. At last the dread day-the deadline-was upon us and still no annual. What was worse--there, was no photographic paper to print the pictures on. However, our attempt was Finally turned in, and all that we can do now is pray for a good printer. In conclusion, we want to thank the teachers and the student body for their co-operation.

WD., mawle Why' S' o fs The Debate and Forensic Club got off to a flying start with the Univer- sity Club dinner given for us by Miss Borchers. Activities slowed down with the illness of our president, Dave Beckwith, but picked up again at the semester, Under the able direction of our new adviser, Mr. Gauger, the debate squad spent quite a successful season. In our invitational meet, we won three o,ut of six debates, while in the district contest, we won four out of six. Ordinarily, this number of wins would entitle us to enter the state contest, but this year a new wartime ruling required five wins out of six to be eligible, so we were not permitted to go. The members of the debate team were: First Affirmative: Tom Peterson First Negative: Eleanore Donovan Second Affirmative: Gordon Giles Second Negative: Buzz Baldwin This year also proved to be a very successful one for forensics. The elimination contest was held in school on March 22 in which Dave Beck- with won in Serious Declamation, Edith Donovan in Humorous Declama- tion, Buzz Baldwin in Extemporaneous Reading, jean Solveson in Extem- poraneous Speaking, and Elizabeth Becker in Oratory. These winners went on to the District contest at Oregon on March 23, and all received A ratings. As the Annual goes to press, all are anxiously awaiting the League contest, and Fmally the state tournament. my W I' -if -4 VG, 5 -4 'A , 4 ' . 4 Hi f',' 13 ' ,QV ,542 Q Cf , ,g , 591 , 4 A Q f E V' ggififiv Hifi ' 42,51 ,igif3Kfi f '7'g X Q, I - l , i , XWN-, 1, -QA ' ,ig 5 5 3 M' if . f H ,I-,hm 'Q , , ,fl if .

We've found more new talents this way!-This year at our annual Christmas party, the members exchanged gifts and Mr. Ahrens received a statue of Orpheus, or a reasonable facsimile thereof. Our Circus music has been greatly improved this year, thanks to Mr. Ahrens, who has taken an active interest in the club. Several musical pro- ductions have been considered by the members, but just the right one hasn't as yet presented itself. However, we are hoping that we can pro- duce some sort of entertainment for the student body. The talent is there, all we need is an opportunity-or is that too well-worn a phrase?

Loud crashes are heard as Bob Burkhalter makes a strike and jack Reynoldson's ball flies into the gutter. The Bowling Club started with a flash this year, but when Mr. Gold- gruber took on other duties it lost some of its spark. Mr. johnson came in later to act as our advisor and the club has functioned well ever since. ' sywhi 1. -Q xr. z vu 14 5' . ' ' 4 J. y . 9 ,I Q 4 1 S , ,Q ill K? Ei? iw' arf, -ii , 3?

We gained more first downs, but most of them came in the drive in the final quarter where we marched for our touchdown, Payton scoring from the one foot line.

UBryH Captain-Bill Bush Edgerton-0 Wisconsin High-7 We were definitely the underdogs going into this game but led by Dick Johnson, the whole team came through fighting to score our first win of the season. Our attack clicked consistently and a hard charging line held Edger- ton's powerful offense in check most of the game. Payton worked hard to gain most of our rushing yardage and score the lone tally of the game. Passes from johnson to Wood- burn or to Gettle, Cwho turned in a fine gameb gained half of our total yardage. Alert play by the whole team was the winning factor as Edgerton staged many drives deep in our. territory only to have the threat stopped by intercepted passes or recovered fumbles. ,J',..

We marched for our first touchdown imme- diately after a blocked kick by Woodburn and a recovery by Beckwith. Payton scored from the four yd. line. The sec- ond touchdown came in the third quarter when. Bob Wood- burn broke through to intercept a lateral, and run 30 yards for a touchdown.

A punt by Wallmo went out of bounds on the Fort three yard line, late in the first quarter. Fort punted to the 32 where we marched to the 25 yard line. A perfect pass from John- son to Gettle scored the touchdown. Johnson split the up- rights for the extra point. Fort scored on an 84 yard run in the third quarter but Bush charged through to block the all important point after touchdown. Coach-eye view-Football letter winners Dave Beckwith is a smart player. Neither his size nor his speed was great but his courage and determination made him a most valuable guard. George Brader is a sticky fingered, pass catching, end. Defensively he usually played a backfield position because of his ability at pass defense. Bill Bush, center, improved a good deal as the season progressed. He blocked quite well and, late in the season, turned in several mighty good performances on defense from his end position to which he switched for defense. Ken Bryant, a fast starting halfback is a good ball carrier on quick open- ing plays. He hits hard and fast. Ken likes football and the players like him. Dave Davies is a plucky, though small, guard. He is aggressive and takes a back seat for no one. George Eby, big George, the biggest fellow on the squad, is a fellow who can go once he gets up a head of steam . Hard to move, George has good speed although at times he liked to play in the backfield instead of playing his position. Dick Gettle, the first player we have come to in this alphabetical list who is not a Senior, is a fast, though small, halfback. He is a fine pass receiver and runs well with the ball. We haven't fully made up our mind about Dick's ability yetg he hasn't always been at the top of his game. Dick Johnson is an experienced and able quarterback. He feeds mighty well from the T formation quarterback position. He is a splendid actor as is evidenced by his ability to disguise the play. Voted the team's most valuable player by the team members themselves, Dick was an important cog in our team. Tom Langlois was about the best guard in the conference during the 1943 season. A foot injury hampered his 1944 play. Don Newell, offensive end, though defensive back, is an aggressive and strong player. Credit is due him for performing as well as he did in spite of very limited football experience. He came out for our squad for his first time as a senior. jim Payton, our red-headed high scorer is big and he can run. He likes to lug the ball and is a good straight-away runner. Dan Peterson, reserve back, filled in acceptably. He is smart and most likable. joly Stein turned out to be a line guard. The most improved player on the squad, it was a real pleasure to watch Joly's development. Toby Sherry, veteran tackle, was hampered by injuries. Although thus bothered he was an effective tackle both offensively and defensively. Bill Wallmo, a 1943 Sophomore guard turned 1944 junior full-back, is good at backing up the line. Toward the end of the season Bill was round- ing into a first class full-back. Will someone tell him how to avoid colds? Bob Woodburn, a dandy end, can block and catch passes. johnson to Woodburn proved to be a good pass combination. Woody was a spearhead on defense for the team. He was elected Captain by his teammates. Gordon Findorff was team manager. The Zor Shrine committee named him All-City manager. Some of the boys twitted Gordy a bit about that.

The most accurate shot on the team, George averaged ten points a game. He is good at stealing the ball, and he rebounds very well. George's fine hands would be an asset to any basketball player. He is a team player and one of the best on the team. Bill Bush, a senior who did not choose basketball during his junior year, is big and strong. Though not as agile as players with more experi- ence, Bill proved his worth, particularly in the game at Monroe on jan. 12. Gordon Findorff, the tallest, though not the heaviest player on the squad by any means, played all positions. He is a fighter and he had key parts in several games, making clutch' rebound baskets against Monroe and Fort Atkinson in nip and tuck games. Wade Jensen, a good player, would have been better if he had shown more confidence in his own ability. A very unselfish player, Wade always liked to let the other fellow shoot. Sometimes he passed up good shoot- ing chances. Dick johnson, often referred to as the spark-plug of the team was just that. An aggressive and fast player, Dick was in the right places at the right times. This season, his fourth on Wisconsin High teams, was his best. Abundant energy, love of the game, ability to judge distances concerning moving players and balls, and a good deal of playing experience all served him well. His high scoring honors are well deserved. Along with Hovde of Portage he holds the individual scoring record for a seasons' play in the conference. Also he holds the individual scoring record for a single game. Bob Nordness served well as a reserve guard. He handles the ball well and proved to be a valuable member of our squad although troubled with back misery during a good share of the season. Dan Peterson, a reserve guard, sometimes plays Santa Claus and gives the ball to a fellow with the wrong colored shirt. Called upon to play an important role in the Stoughton game on Dec. 15, and in the Monroe game on Feb. 1, he was most helpful to his team. Ken Schmitt, a senior forward who entered Wisconsin High last fall, is a steady and dependable player. Althoegh he didn't play much in games, Ken was an important member of our squad. Frequently he was called upon to impersonate players on opposing teams. Fritz Steinhauer, our left-handed guard, proved to be a very important cog in the team machine. He has accurate and fast hands and he rebounds very well. A regular from the start, Fritz was asked to play a diliicult swing position and he did it well. Bob Woodburn, veteran and splendid forward, is a competitor from the word go . A balance wheel of the team, Bob is one of the best players on the team. He is especially good at intercepting passes and in rebound- ing. Bob's worth to the team has at times been underestimated. It is likely that without Bob, the team would have been an ordinary one, instead of a championship winner.

Our race horse tactics enabled us to get in near the basket time and again only to miss the shot. johnson, who held the high scoring Hovde to a mere 2 pts., scored 11 to tie with Brader for our high scorer. Baraboo-36 Captain Dick johnson Wisconsin High-23 Our first loss of the season. The whole team except for johnson played a poor game, being back on their heels and not very sharp. Baraboo had a strong team. Johnson led both teams with 14 pts. Prairie du Sac-36 Captain Bob Woodburn Wisconsin High-58 The sensational scoring of Dick Johnson enabled us to tie the city scor- ing record in this game. johnson's 29 pts. also tied the individual scoring record. Brader followed with 13 pts. Stoughton-22 Captain Dick Johnson Wisconsin High-31 Our race horse attack clicked very well in this game. Brilliant passing featured the attack but again poor shooting held our score down. Brader in addition to scoring 16 pts. played a fine defensive game and snared count- less rebounds to aid our cause greatly. Edgerton-43 Captain Dick Johnson Wisconsin High-59 We broke the single game scoring record in this game and Johnson came close to the individual record as he scored 28 pts. Brader helped us out with 19 pts. It was a fast and rough game with 43 fouls being called. Fort Atkinson-34 Captain Dick johnson Wisconsin High-37 We started off the new year with a heart-stopping overtime victory over Fort Atkinson. It was Dick Johnson's hard driving in the fourth quarter and the overtime that brought us the win. We got off to an early lead but the tall Fort team drew close and threw the game into an overtime. johnson had 20 pts. Captain Dick Johnson This was our big game of the season. Besides the fact that a win would bring us a tie for first place we had other incentives for victory. One was the costly defeat handed us last year, and a second reason was the ten year jinx of Monroe teams over visiting Wis. High teams. We were too tight in the first half and were missing our shots. They held a seven point lead at the half but we started closing . in in the third quarter and over- ' took them in the fourth quarter to outspeed, outlast and outscore our I ' I1 l 1's7,. l .

Captain Dick Johnson Richland Center-42 Wisconsin High-61 Playing our last regular game of the season we made it a good one. johnson had to make 34 pts. to tie several rec- ords so he set out to do it and 34 pts. he made.

We had some fine teams and while it was the teamwork that won the games, it was the individual play that made our teams what they were. The heroic and gallant actions of these boys will long be remem- bered in the history of Wisconsin High. Ah yes, we will always remember how Dick johnson used to dribble down the floor at a teriffic rate of speed, do a double somersault and bat the basketball through the hoop with his feet, and how Payton used to charge through the line, a vicious stiff arm here, a heavy foot there, with the opposing players hollering, Kill that red-head ! Then Eby would hear the signal for a play through his position, wake up and open a hole big enough to drive a truck through. And Beck- with would fly through the air while making a tackle only to have the run- ner side step and Dave Fly past and land with his face stuck in the lime. Of course, when Steinhauer used to wind that long left arm around his neck and hook the ball through the hoop, nobody thought it out of place. And then Danny Peterson would knock out a low 68 at Black Hawk while Marlowe and McGrath were potting around in the traps. When Sherry would charge through the line, bowl over six or seven blockers, grab the ball carrier by the hair on his legs, and pull him down, he would sit there and talk with him 'til the rest of our team got there. Woodburn had to get conked on the bean and beat Bryant's and Stein's records for longest time knocked out. Poor Chesty would shoot a basket and then the teachers would nab him off the floor and tell him he was ineligible. Brader inter- cepted a pass, side-stepped one Monroe player, stiff armed the next, cut back, and with a beautiful change of pace, eluded a few more tacklers, broke into the open and bumped into George Eby and fell down. Chief came out on the Held and gave us a pep talk and we immediately scored pa touchdown. Bush would sink a long shot in the game and play dirty in practice. But look! There's Johnson getting ready to pass. He cocks his arm, and lets it go. It's a beautiful spiral down the Held, perfectly timed-it's good-it's good-right into the arms of the manager who takes the ball off the field and the game starts. Langlois rounds the last quarter, comes into the stretch, overtakes the runners, runs under the tape, stops-goes back, reaches up and breaks it, and then staggers off, winning the State 440 yard dash. But Payton-where was he? He ran the hundred but got a cinder in his mouth and only ran it in 10.1 seconds. Newell Sprints down the Held for a pass, trips over his size twelves, falls down,-the ball hits him in the stomach and he doubles up while the ball sticks for a completed pass. At the start of each game Davies, Beckwith, Stein and Langlois had to fight it out to see who would start. A good way to get warmed up but guess who usually lost the argument? Miragie went up in the air after a rebound knocked Vike on the chin on the way up, came down on his toes and dashed off down the floor with the brilliant play that exemplified our indi- vidual ability in the school year of 1944 and 1945. ar- -- TRACK Our prospects for the 1945 track team look brighter this year, due to the fact that we have Five lettermen back. They are Wade Jensen in the 200 and relay, Ken Bryant in the hurdles and relay, Tom Langlois who runs the 440 and relay, jim Payton in the 100, 200, and relay and Gordon Fin- dorff who runs the mile. We also have a promising group of Freshmen and Sophomores comingiup. With both the contestants and our coach looking forward to a very suc- cessful season, an enlarged schedule of eight meets has been arranged. TENNIS SEASON OF 1945 Our tennis season will start off with a school tournament. The winners of this tournament will play on the team. The tournament is open to all who wish to enter. The prospects for this years team are not too dark. Dick johnson, who played First singles will be back to fill that vital spot, and Bob Woodburn and Dave Davies who played second and fourth singles respectively, will be back also. The rest of the positions will be filled by newcomers. Our schedule is composed of two dual meets with each of the city schools, an all conference meet, a city tournament, and a sectional meet. GOLF TEAM 1945 Golf is set up on the same system as tennis. There is a school tourna- ment from which the team is picked. All the boys in school are invited to try out for the team. The team, led by Danny Peterson, who placed high in the city tourna- ment, will play dual meets with the city schools, a conference invitational and an all city meet. Dave McGrath and Marlowe Loftsgordon are the other two of the remaining veterans who will all do their best to give our school a good golfing team. t G. A. A. As the sport seasons change, new opportunities and exciting games are offered to the fun-loving girls of Wisconsin High. The Girls Athletic Association, under the supervision of Miss Purves, makes it possible for all girls in every grade to join in the gay tournaments and to mix with the girls from other classes in the various competitive sports offered after school. In the fall there was Touch Football. Later, in the colder weather came Volley Ballg then Basketballg and in the spring, Softball. Clad in those smooth gym suits and very enthusiastic about the compe- tition, the girls plunge into these after-school sports. At the end of the year the points earned by attendance through the year are totaled toward the G. A. A. awards, given out at the Honors Assembly. tl 'SS' QXQRX --Zjr'.,fi1ig,x 57 l' 0' s gf? jl .5 . , N I I ,K ,1 '-635542328-1 . 1 ., rr' - fe ,- . ft - 06' df V 'fi .

Audrey johnson has already earned the nick- name of Feet by her refusal to stand on both said limbs while on the stage. Typical Rehearsal Mr. Gauger sadly watches a scene done en monotone and steels himself once more saying, But I can't tell them how to read their lines because they won't get anything out of this other than learning how to imitate me. Then he sinks back into his chair, dreaming of the days when he was an actor and not a producer. Pat Porter and Feet johnson promptly pop be- hind the blackboard and discuss their latest frustrations. Dave Beckwith grabs his trumpet and mournfully plays Besame Mucho , thinking of all the good lines and language that had been cut out of his part. Buzz Bald- win asks one of the prompters how to do a Trig problem. Mr. Gauger rings the stage doorbell and everyone scurries back as the rehearsal continues.

Charlotte Cannizzo ANOTHER MORN Never before had I seen the dawn, iNever before had I seen the sun As it First came up At the start of the day. I woke up that morning, so early, so early, The night sky was just turning grey. The whole world was dark, and quiet, and stillg Except for that streak above the East That announced the coming of day. I looked out the window, beside my bed- I looked at the world outsideg I looked at the river, the sky, and the stars- All dark, and clothed in the night. The boats on the river Were just dark shadows- Ghosts of their actual selves- So weird, so unreal-I could scarcely tell Where the sea-craft ended And the water began. Already the sky was lightening up- Already the stars were fading- Already the East was bright and clear Against the masts and poles and rigging Of the still black boats on the river. If I strained my ears I could hear quite clear The soft lap-lap of the water on the beach- If I strained my eyes I could see the little ripples- Little pink ripples on the pink glass lake. For now the East was pink and pretty, Chasing the grey clouds away: Pink and orange, blue and mauve, Little wisps, far in the distance- The only signs left of the huge black clouds Of the night, now faded away. Now the earth was lighted up: The last star had vanished away: Here one moment-gone the next- As I watched with half-closed eyes To see when it Hnally vanished away Into the brilliant orange sky- Gone till the sun went down once more. Listen! Listen! There was the tweet Of the first bird up that day: The first bird to welcome the coming day- Another new day in the life of the earth- Another new day of sorrow and strife: Of worry and work, of blood, sweat and tears: Of the humdrum existence of everyday life- Of grime and filth, and love and hate- Till once more the sun sets and leaves life At peace And silence. And another morn. jennifer A. Selfridge OH, FRANKIE, YOU'RE KILLING ME! The voice was that of a young teen-age girl, and it echoed and re-echoed through the otherwise silent theatre. Her escort, a handsome boy of eight- een, sat beside her, looking rather humiliated and very subdued. The object under fire, from his point of view, was a thin, undernourished lad who stood up on the stage, tightly gripping a microphone for support. What girls could see in a fellow like that was more than he could under- stand! To his way of thinking a few more vitamin pills, and a little less shoulder padding would have helped immensely! Oh yes, his voice was good-even he had to admit that-a little on the gushing side perhaps, but strictly in the groove . However, if the girls were looking for someone with a mellow voice, why didn't they pick on Crosby? At least he had some control over his knees, and could stand on his own two feet. But no, they had to have Sinatra! Sinatra, the swooner-crooner of the century! All he did was wail the mournful lyrics of otherwise halfway-gay songs. Why did anyone want to be put in such a mood? Wasn't it enough that his girl should be taken away from him by this man? After all, what did Frankie have that he didn't have?? Knowing that he would never fully comprehend the actions of women, and heaving a mighty sigh, he slumped farther down in his seat! The girl, on the other hand, regarded Frankie with almost reverential awe. To her it seemed as if every word he sang came right from his heart and went straight to hers. How could she deny it? She loved him!! 4But her love was the kind she couldn't explain. It was a kind of yearning burn- ing inside of her , and not the type of emotion one usually associates with love. To her Frankie didn't represent a scrawny 'boy with padded shoul- dersg rather he was a sort of idol. He had the power'to put into song the feelings and sentiments she felt at a time when words failed her. To her steady perhaps, he was just a fellow standing in front of people, but to her he was a boy, talking and singing to her alone! Yes, she knew that all the other girls felt that way too, but she didn't mind. He was the most handsome man in the world, and her love for him was the kind that could be shared by all the world! With stars filling her eyes, and heaving a mighty sigh, she leaned forward to gaze admiringly at her heart-throb, Frankie. Then came the silence! The song had ended, and the hearts of all were filled with warmth! Suddenly there was a roar, a tremendous applause, punctuated with occasional wracked sobsg and above everything else a plaintive voice could be heard crying, OH, FRANKIE, YOU'RE KIL- LING ME! SUSPENSE Why am I doing this? Why did I ever start? Boy, I've really cooked my goose this time! No turning back now. Still, I'd feel much better some- where else-anywhere else. It was my sweet sister's idea to begin with. Yes, she fixed it all right. I know, I should have a mind of my own-but where is it? Hey, what's the matter with meg I'm no baby. But-but how shall I go about it? What shall I say? Oh, the time is drawing nearer- nearer-nearer. It won't be long now. Think of something quick, johnny, think of something quick! Well, it's too late to turn back. Here it comes - Mary, will you go to the dance with me Saturday night? Marcia Fassett TYPICAL TEEN Penny, will you please tell the class the nature of the Townshend Acts ? To this cheery request this is a long period of utter and absolute silence as all eyes turn in the direction of Penny White. The girl in question lowers her head and gazes wistfully at a rather large volume which one might gather to be a history book, although the title has been rubbed out and replaced by such snappy slogans as, In case of flood, stand on this -it's dry! or In case of fire, throw this in! The teacher clears her throat, a little gesture simply oozing with meaning, and calls on someone else. Penny, her face a faint shade of rose, gazes at her moccasins, which to all outside appearances are vastly in need of rehabilitation, and bends down to make a fold in the large cuff of a wool sock. There is really nothing awfully strange about Penny's not knowing the answer-with things happening the way they had the night before and all. Besides, it wasn't the Hrst time she hadn't known, and, being a typical teen, it undoubt- edly wouldn't be the last. You can probably guess the nature of Penny's external appearances- wavy brown hair fcompliments of twenty hectic minutes with bobby pins and waterj, blue eyes, and plenty of lipstick, which, though it reads Exotic Green Orchid on the tube, is just a plain, ordinary red. Of course there is the usual long, sloppy sweater to which is attached a ghastly, cannibal- head lapel pin, and naturally a skirt of questionable length. After school, this ensemble is changed to a pair of blue jeans rolled just below the knees with a long, plaid shirt hanging loosely just above them, and Penny disap- pears till dinner time. During this 'disappearance you might be safe in guessing that Penny will be playing a poor, but certainly exciting, game of football with the gang g or just lounging at the corner drugstore, a trained eye on the door, noting the coming and going of certain parties, mostly of the opposite sex. The company of said opposite sex is also care- fully noted, to be related at any advantageous time in the future to a friend who is unfortunately incapacitated by the duty of raking leaves and clean- ing up a messy room. To the older generation Penny's character has been aptly expressed in moments of irritation as superficial, shallow and just generally degraded. However, after .a night of terrific crarnming when she pulls down an A-minus on an exam, it suddenly rises in esteem, and the relatives get into great arguments as to who she most resembles in character. It is generally agreed that in judgment Penny is certainly not a model of perfection. What intelligent person would stay up until midnight studying, and then be harped at all the next day for slumping and sleeping through classes-or stay out until two o'clock on Saturday night when it wasperfectly clear she was to be in by one? It also seems strange to Penny's mother how some blonde character by the name of jack will be the next thing to a saint on Monday morning and a low-grade moron by Monday night-or how some utterly too stuckup snip , in Penny's own words, can become a bosom friend simply by putting in a plug at the right moment to the right person. It is a paradox of nature, too, how she can be the height of sophistication with someone she wishes to impress, and squeal like a child half an hour later over some impossible, blood-curdling melo drama on the radio. But I've come a little off the subject. As I was saying, Penny was still basking in humiliation of her own ignorance, when suddenly a little drop of information gleaned from a novel of questionable literary value tread especially since her mother had asked her not toj flashed like a bulb in Penny's mind. Waving her hand frantically about in the air, she presented her information with due deeorum, and sat steeped in the praises of accom- plishment till the end of the day. P. J. P.

DEATH IN THE CLASSROOM Gigantic 3-inch headlines blared forth the story of sudden deathi W. H. S. HISTORY TEACHER MURDER VICTIM! The body was dis- covered by Pete Oetking, a quiet and studious boy, who, upon request, had arrived early at the school for supplementary instruction. His only com- ment was, I hope it wasn't Dwyer-he's already got time to make up! Reluctantly he turned in the alarm, and the police were summoned. Imme- diately things were in an uproar. Desks were ransacked, and lockers over- turned, resulting only in the discovery of several mangled cigarette butts and an odd assortment of gas-siphoning equipment. Dave McGrath arrived on the scene with his camera, assisted by photographers from the local newspapers. Shortly afterwards, John Steuart Curry, in search of material for his series on the history of the University, appeared, and set up his easels at various points throughout the building, then proceeded to rush madly from one to another in an attempt to catch up with his train of thought. The police were at a loss for the motive, and none could be thought of by the faculty-helpful suggestions from the students were completely ignored. Mr. Phillips traced back through the history of the school, but could unearth no clues as to who would want to commit such a crime. Various theories were advanced, but when Mr. Goldgruber re- marked that perhaps the History pupils were at fault, both he and his idea were quickly squelched! Unable to reach a decision, the officer in charge sent out an emergency cal-1 for Hammerselyg but on the way to the school, joe-joe was waylaid at the drugstore by several Wisconsin High senior girls whom he recognized, and consequently arrived too late to be of use. In the meantime W. H. S. was continuing in an uproar. To add to the confusion, the notable Mr. Alvin Ahrens. was on the point of passing from this world, due to the fact that his trained ear had detected a slight varia- tion in the vibration rate of the police whistle. However, Mr. Davis soon came to the rescue, accompanied by Mr. Porter. After due deliberation, it was decided that the sound waves .within the building had been so deflected as to raise the pitch of the whistle one-half a tone. When Miss Springhorn, having been exhausted by the extensive cross-examinations of Mr. Eye, retired to her ofiice, the sound waves again returned tonormal. Mr. Ahrens soon revived, resumed his usual expression, and was duly elated to learn he could once more enjoy the sound of the whistle. About this time refreshments were being 'served by Miss Henderson, who, having come to the conclusion that the victim had died of under- nourishment, and wishing to guard against any such catastrophes in the future, quickly whipped up a vitamin salad. A few moments later a loud rattle of venetian blinds was heard, and Tetzlaff was discovered, flattened against the window. Arriving late for school, as was his custom, he had come to the History room, seen a multitude of blue uniforms, and dived for the nearest place of concealment. Mrs. Doane, noting Warren's predica- ment, stated that she had always thought the room needed curtains, and promptly proceeded to run up ua pair on the machineg while her husband stood nearby, mentally figuring up the cost of said draperies. A red-faced figure, vainly trying to 'shove through the crowd of bystanders, soon proved to be Mrs. Zaeske, who hurried up with her latest contribution-a book titled Benefits To Be Derived From Successful Crimes fwhich, inciden- tally, proved to be of little value since the last person to draw it out of the library was a graduate of the class of '22!j Ah yes, Miss Weber, Miss Hoard, and Miss Allcott were all in complete agreement, the only thing lacking was the thing agreed upon-a minor detail in itself, but entirely significant to Mr. Trump and Mr. Ainsworth who were on the other side of the well-known fence. After bitter debating on the part of both parties, the support of Mr. Gauger, Mr. johnson, and Mr. Kivlin was secured for the Tenacious Trio , while the Misses Falk, Howdle, and Weightman joined the Terrific Two . Mr. Pooley and Mr. Williams remained neutral in their views, and Miss Laura B. johnson preferred to side with the Free French-! Yes, it was quite a battle, indeed, before it had finished the officer in charge sank to his knees in desperation, refusing to be consoled by Miss Purves and her Now, now. Let's be a good sport about it! With a heart- breaking sob of mental anguish, which deeply stirred his fellow companions in the art of detection, as well as the innocent masses surrounding him, he broke down and admitted his failure in life. Suddenly Coach Knapp rushed in, wildly waving a piece of blue cloth in his right hand-Exhibit A! The piece of cloth greatly resembled the type found in the ordinary run of letter sweatersg but upon examination of said sweaters, it was discovered that not one, not two, but all of them pos- sessed a hole precisely the size and shape of Exhibit A. Another theory shot-Coach Knapp took his place with the officer on the Hoor, and together they calmly proceeded to beat their heads to a pulp, much to the dismay of several feeble-minded onlookers, who regretted not- having thought of such an action earlier in the day! just at this moment a slight stir became audible. Seemingly it came from the direction of the victim. All eyes focused on the body, and while the crowd watched, Miss Ruth johnson arose, accompanied by various unrecognizable groans and. a loud creaking of Hoorboards. Her first words were, E-er-ne! What's all the excitement? Upon being told, she imme- diately went off into gales of laughter, but finally recovered sufficiently to loudly inform the public that it had all been a great mistake. While reaching for the set of history maps in preparation for Pete's additional instruction lesson, she had fallen off the chair, hit her head on the corner of the wastebasket fwhich Pete had neglected to put back in place after his Spitball Hook Shot practice of the day beforej, and been knocked unconscious. With the announcement of this news, the entire police force collapsed! Pete again reluctantly turned in an alarm, and a new police force was summoned. Wisconsin High School was once more in an uproar!! Cadapted from a story by C. H.-with apologies to said gentlemanj AND WE QUOTE Good boys love their sisters, And so good have I grown- That I love other fellow's sister's, Even better than my own! u MY WORD! B.

Me can never come to she- Her can never go to .I- It must was! AIR RAID The people were huddled closely together in the dimly-lighted tunnel of the underground air-raid shelter. Planes were loudly droning overhead, giving to the atmosphere a touch that was anything but pleasant. Now and then a plane would zoom down to spit its fiery death upon the unsuspecting people, who vainly tried to run away from the bullets, only to perish in the attempt. In some of the far sectors of the city, bombs were still being dropped, leaving in their wake the ruins of many a building and the thou- sands of people who had been too surprised to move or take shelter. Suddenly the planes drew closer to the tunnel! A crash sounded nearby! The brave people who had ventured forth, thinking the raid to be over in this section of the city, were now screamihg in terror and agony as flying bomb fragments knocked them to the pavement. No one in the tunnel moved after the first deafening crashg no one spoke aloud his thoughts. It was not necessary, for it was clear that all had the same questions fore- most in their minds. When would the tunnel be hit? Would it be next? They all sat very tense, waiting, watching, and listening, for the least indi- cation or sound that might give them their answer. In the far end of the tunnel a few of the more courageous people were singing. Their feeble voices were drifting through the stillness, becoming more and more weak, finally cracking, then silent. All this had been a rather vain attempt to relieve the tenseness that hung like a dark cloud in the atmosphere. Again and again the planes dived toward the ground. Again and again the people in the tunnel crouched and covered their heads, fearful for their lives. Again and again they stiffened with terror at the screaming voices of their fellow citizens whom they would never see again. Again and again the bombs fell without hitting the tunnel. Yet, when the planes had gone, the people did not relax, they kept up their vigil, always alert, silent, and watchful! At that moment there was an ear-splitting crash! The far end of the tunnel had been hit. All the people, who had a few minutes ago been sing- ing in an attempt to cheer up the rest, now lay wounded. The morale of the others seemed to break a little, for they now knew that the tunnel could be penetrated. They no longer felt safe and secure. And yet they re- mained as statues, knowing that the capable nescue crew was at work, and that they themselves could do nothing to help their fellow comrades-or themselves. The stillness was interrupted by the shrill all-clear signal. It was as if the spell were broken! Instantly the tension was relieved, the muscles relaxedg and the people went on their way, almost gaily, glad just to be alive. Only the ruins of buildings and the disappearing ambulances were left to remind them of the horrible moments they had just spent. Their hearts were not without a certain heaviness, but as the sun came out, they went about their work-singing! B. G. Scene: Breeze Stevens Field. Time: Friday afternoon in autumn. The halfback has just started around the left end, and only one man is between him and the winning touchdown. One man is running interference ahead of him. Crowd: 'Take that man! Take that man! QApparently no one takes him, for the shouting continues.J Take that man! Pat Porter: Well if no one else wants him, I'll take him!! Girls were created before mirrors and they've been there ever since!! THE SCUM It was staggering down the hall one day, This pile of coats with feet, So I neatly stepped back out of it's way, My amazement was complete! Thank you , it said with unusual grace, Then everything started to fall- And was I surprised to see the face Of a girl in the midst of it all! I lead the life of a dog, said she, And her face was tired and glum, No peace, no rest, just an aching head, For you see,-I am a scum! 'You can't wear this and you can't wear that And please part your hair in the middle, My goodness scum but you're getting fat, You oughta reduce a little! ' 'Give me your comb and lipstick, please, Now just step back out of my way! Run up to my locker and get my keys. Why scum, what did you say?' So you see, it's awful , she walled through tears I wish it 'ud let up some! But I 'spose it'll last for years and years- This horrible life of a scum!

The fieldhouse is packed with all of 45 madly cheering fans. The band attempts to be heard above the din. The teams rush out onto the floor. Mr. Knapp rushes out to talk to the team. Mr. Knapp rushes off the floor. The referees rush onto the court. One of them tosses the ball. The crowd gets up to get popcorn. The crowd is back. Someone has made a basket.

The opponents make six baskets. Brader gets the rebound. Brader passes to Johnson. Johnson makes a long pass all the way down the court. It goes through the hoop! johnson turns to smile at the crowd. He falls Hat on his face. The opponents are given a free throw. The free throw is good. Bush takes the ball out. The ball goes to Wood- burn. Woodburn drops the ball. He is doubled up, sinking to the floor. Is he injured? The crowd heaves a sigh of relief. After Woodburn Finishes tying his shoe, the game is resumed. Time is growing short. The crowd is going wild CThere is no more popcorn at the standj. The horn is blowing. The players don't. hear the horn. Mr. Knapp rushes out. on the floor. The crowd rushes out on the floor. The floor is still almost empty! And so another typical game has drawn to a close. The weary students wend their way homeward to catch the 10 o'clock news in an effort to dis- cover just how the game came out. Eleanore Donovan HISTORY AS IT MAY BE BY THE TIME YOU GET THIS ANNUAL Accustomed as we are to hearing varied groans at Wisconsin High, the man-in-the-hall might merely have dismissed Tuesday's outburst as a re- sult of Mr. William's English assignments or Mr. Porter's puns. However, it actually was the Annual Staff, sighing over all the tradition-defying things that could happen after the annual went to press. Suppose the Juniors elect a Prom queen this year. Maybe Martha jane will be queen and then ask Woody. Or perhaps even Suz Adams might be queen and ask Johnson to make sure that he goes with her instead of janet Winn. Maybe by spring john Jensen will be living in Shorewood at the Groves' house or somewhere. Pat Porter might be a platinum blonde by spring. By graduation time even the students might run out of cigarettes. And then once more the groan rang through the hall, and the annual staff went back to the dull task of writing up coming events in such a vague and general way that they couldn't help but come true. Tom Langlois: There must be some mistake! I don't think I deserve an absolute zero! Miss R. johnson: Neither do I, but that's the lowest mark I'm allowed to give. ON KUBLA KHAN Qdedicated to W. H. S.

And suddenly we hear the noise, That makes the day seem full of joys. The old bell ringsg another day Of work and woe has passed away. And now we're free to hurry out, Or stay at school and roam about. Today is Tuesday and, oh gee, Tonight we listen to Mc Gee. Hope comes on with his fast line, just as the old clock gives out nine. But as our happiness subsides, We think of something that collides With our plans for listening to The radio. It's nothing new. just homework, which by all is hated, Always keeping us elated About how much we always get For the standards never met. It's a iight 'tween work and play, The radio or homework's day? Which one will win? It's up to you. Yes, quite a Hght, and not so new. It's Abbott and Costello or Doing homework on the f-loor. Perhaps you'd rather hear Bing croon, Or Frank Sinatra sing a tune. Some like a sad and touching story, Or a tale that's plenty gory. Others prefer listening to Sherlock Holmes and the missing clue. But by the time that I select The path of knowledge or neglect, My eyelids droop, heavy as lead, So I give up and go to bed. Tom Peterson 1-'- f .
