This year we are giving you an annual based on an entirely different sort of theme. Have you ever stopped to think of how differently you think of school at various times. Perhaps this thought has never occurred to you, but going to school can be heavenly. lsn't there a point in about late August when the lakes are too dirty to swim and you are about bored to the breaking point, when you seem quite anxious to get back to the excitement of foot- ball, dances, club meetings and all those heavenly things about school. But then of course, there are all too numerously all those other times when you think school is just plain H---. Thus, we have made a vain attempt to put forth the Wups and downsn of wisconsin High using Heaven and Where belown for our theme. Draw your own conclusions as to what belongs in which 'resting placen and we sincerely hope that this will raise your nspirits.U DEDICATION To Miss Jean Hoard, whom we will remember for her valuable guidance in shaping our future.

Perhaps someone may have already informed you, but then again if they haven't, let us be the first to let you in on the We have performed a stupendous task! We've stuck out battling years at Wisconsin High and for the most part know. four it's been a great life. Take our Freshman year for instance. We started out with a bang as feuding freshmen. IH those days as lowly Frosh, we looked up high to the ly petitioned for an all school mighty seniors and generous- HFrolicH in order to share our fun with them: not realizing that seniors might do other things besides go to Freshman dances. But NFrolicW was a big success without the aid of upper classmen and the unusu- al Chinese lanterns we dug up from Hpropsu held together all evening and decorated the upper gym admirably, We finally got a chance to show the whole school our abilities at giving a dance, but once again ran into difficul ties. It seems as though we got into a heated argument over whether to wear Ujeansn or formals: and whether formal was the appropriate dress for juke box music. And say, were you one of the fellows on Miss Hoard's Hblack listu, for failing to ask a girl to NShuffleN? Well. anyway, as we all know, formal it was and Peggy King'S Orchestra plus red checked tablecloths dressed the dance up royally. The real prize of the evening was a professionally painted sign over the band' stand advertising Peggy Kingi Sophomore Shuffle went over bigl And on how we used to look forward to the noon hour and our delicious f???l hot lunches' One can't be sure if it was that the food just waSn't appetizing or if it was the table talk. which took in everybody s opinion of what went into the Hgoulashu, that sent the bowls back half full. V One of the most exciting nights of the year was the night of the Reedsburg Basket ball game when Dick Johnson broke the conference scoring record, were we wondering at the time, if we had the makings of a record breaker in our class? Well, the Junior year would telli breakers, but a stately pillars with couple, made it Our class wasn't able to produce any sensational record well to be remembered prom was given, The against a midnight blue background sprinkled stars, along with Ace and Barbara as a royal Nthe danceu of our high school history. But shimmering did you get in on that Ubehind the scenesn secret? The kids who had worked so laboriously for so long on the prom deco- rations almost saw them go up in smoke from the testing match of an investigating fire inspector the day before Prom. 1-inn:-1 The biggest problem of our Senior year was fbut defi nitelyl getting out an annual, and if you asked Dick he'd tell you how many problems really made up the ink on these pages, - vSay, it's kind of discouraging isn't it, to think of how many years we've spent in such a dingy, dirty, yet wonderful school, only to have it painted every color of the rainbow the year we are graduating. We gave the school its last chance to admire our abilities as dance hosts at HSwingH. A hard-working decoration committee produced a lowedown shanty town with a classy kind of atmosphere, which along with great musical works by Palmer, Gettle and Peckham all added up to a swell evening, The last four years have been eventful for us in school, but also eventful in that they were historic years. We can still remember the shadow of war which was in the background of our first years. Now we are entering a period in which uncertainty again reigns. Soon we are to assume a position of responsibility in the future, well prepared because we have graduated from Wisconsin High School, In the short time left in our all important high school career, there's not much time for looking back, for what's been done in the past is only a beginning for our future SENIOR STATISTICS By Vote of the Senior Class it i',aty o succeed ' i If, , ., BO QQ 'fff QmlGt9Qf Loudest Biggest Wolf Sweetest Most Sarcastic Least Ambitious Most Ambitious Craziest Most Modest Nicest Most Conceited Least Conceited Best Personality Best Build or Figure Best Dressed Jim Guy Mott Dick Sexton Bill Nunkwitz Joe Dean Pete Oetking Jim Joe Jim Tom Joe Jim Tom Mott Dean Fish Peterson Dwyer Mott Peterson Pete Oetking Dave Miller Dick Sexton Bob Tom Hamilton Hefty Gal Edith Donovan Rosemary Schneiders Kate Tegge Janice Bondi Janice Bondi Sue Thronson Caryl Frederickson Nancy Hyslop Nancy Hoffland Janice Bondi Betty Butler Sue Thronson Joyce Harley Betty Thronson Sue Thronson Rae Hockey Rosemary Schneiders , Q NX lx ' I f c J f .,X,5 wh M PRES MA W4 W ' X 5 ' K 5m., Q s SO OMO 43 ' + Q- XX A W3 X f?TSH X X X N TUNIOR Q X ix H SENWR First Row - B.

In the second half Portage scored twice, once on a 27 yard pass and on a 5 yard buck Both extra point kicks were blocked. The Badger Preps' fourth quarter threat of a 50 yard march ended on the Portage 28 with two successive 15 yard penalties being called on them. Acting captain John Wear stood out on defense while Right Half Dick Peckham was the power house on offense Hamilton Monroe Monroe was the Southern Ten Co-champion in 1945 and again won that honor this year. They decisively showed that they were the better team in this game. They scored once in each of the first three quarters and twice in the fourth period. Wisconsin High got it's lone score also in the fourth quarter with Pete Conlin going over to score. Jim Fish made the extra point. Backs John Rockey and Ed Tallard were lost for this game because of a charley-horse and broken arm, respectively, suffered in the Portage encounter. This fact cut much of the backfield power 7 7 Sexton Edgerton This was another close, evenly matched battle. Edgerton had counted on running our ends but the much improved play of Sexton and Pigorsch soon stopped that. Im ediately after a 15-yard penalty against the Preps in the final minutes of the first half, Edgerton made an ll yard run for a touchdown after most of the players had thought the ball was declared dead. It was an inspired team that came on the field after the half and a 66 yard march to a touchdown was the result with Jim Fish making the all important extra point for the Wisconsin High Grldders. Pete Conlin was the standout performer in the backfield 8 7 - 35 1 20 - O Oetking It was Bill Palmer in his first appearance sparked the W.H.S. team to victory as he scored on runs of 14, 7, and 20 yards.

Anderson -Gordon played reserve tackle for us and saw con siderable action up there in the line in a battle of give and take. We are hoping that this year s experience plus his add ed size and weight, will make him a valuable regular next year 2. Conlin - Pete proved to be a very valuable spot' player for us. When we were in need of a few yards, he generally filled the bill. Unorthodox in his style--Pete carried the ball like a loaf of bread--he nevertheless got results, and that is the pay-off 5. Dean - Joe is a ball players player--one who earns the respect of opponents and team mates alike. He was the teams rallying point, and rightfully earned the highest honor his buddies could bestow, that of Captain of the team. His stal wart line play made him a stand-out guard, one of the best in the conference. We hope he is able to lmbue brother Mickey with that same fiery spirit' 4. Dean - Mickey came to us as a new student last year, and filled in at guard when brother Joe or Wear needed a breath ing spell. Always full of fight, he figures prominently in our plans for next year, and we hope he will further enhance the name of Dean in W.H,S. football. 5. Dwyer - uLittle Joen was a bruiser--all l5O pounds of hlml He played offensive center for us, and did a remarkable good job. Joe refused to wear a belt to hold up his football pants and came to be called, NDroopy Drawersnl Also, he was bubbling over with Irish nhorse-playa, and wore a special path around the practice fields taking laps. 6. Fauerbach -Karl played tackle for us and did a capable job when he put his mind to it. When aroused he was really good, but we had to light a fire under him to do itl uAcen reached the peak of his performance in that memorable 7-6 battle with Stoughton. 7. Fish - Jim started the season as regular right half, and came through with a really fine performance against Central in the opening game. He could have been one of the finest backs in the conference with a little more determination, but seemed content to do a good job of punting and kicking of extra points. 8, Gettle -Dick was a standout performer for us, as evidenced by his being chosen nmost valuable playern by his team-mates, He directed the team from the quarter-back position--an entire- ly new position to him before this year--and improved with every game. Although he was the shortest boy on the team, his speed and power earned him the respect of all opponents.

He took quite a pounding in scrimmages and always came up with a smile. We liked his spirit and admire his ambi- tion, and next year should be a big one for him. 18. Rockey W John was handicapped through most of the season with a recurrent ucharley-horsen, and we missed his services greatly. He played half-back, and did get in enough time to earn a major nwn. Pound for pound, old nRockn is probably the most viscious tackler we had. We're glad he's on our side. l9. Rossi -Ennio was the nwild mann of the teaml Always jump- ing around and chattering, his enthusiasm knew no bounds, We know he'd like to be around next year, but 'Popn says to gradu- ate ln three years, so Ennio loses his last year of Football. 20. Sexton - Dick was undoubtedly the most versatile of all the fellows, having played end, half-back and quarter-back. This all-around ability proved of real value to the team as 'Sexn was able to fill in where needed and do a creditable Job. His keen mind usually 'out-foxed' the opponents, except in the Central game when he invented a new play in the huddle that scored a sensational touchdown--for Central. 21. Tallard -Ed started as regular full-back, but got his arm in the way at Portage and had it broken. After recovering, he finished the season at right-half, and packed a .real wallop with his Charles Atlas Physique. Ed is a fine team player, and figures heavily in our plans for next season. 22. Trump -Paul started slowly, but moved up from the reserve near mid-season to become our second string full-back and one of our regular line backers. That was a man sized Job for a sophmore, but Paul met the challenge with his usual stoic calmness. He proved especially adept at sensing the opponent's plays, and was usually in the right place to stop them. 23. Wear - John was probably the most consistent performer on the team, and is a pleasure to work with. His steadiness ano- hored the line and made it difficult for opponents to gain much 'through the m1ddle.' He'll be missed next season, and leaves a big pair of shoes to fill--size 1311 Q 24. Coach - Harold nHalN Metzen succeeded Mr. Knapp last spring as general boys sports director at Wisconsin High. Al- though Coach would be the last to alibi, it certainly seemed that luck was not with his teams.

WHS 19 Monroe 23 A high scoring Monroe aggregation was held down by brilliant defensive play. Its publicized deadly fast break was virtually useless Monroe won when the first team which was losing was extracted and an inspired second team played the hero'S role.

The scoring honors were divided between Dick Gettle with lO and Pete Oetking with 9. The team rebounded better than usual, but again the zone defense held down their offense. WHS 39 Edgerton 41 Lady Luck was not aiding the Badger Preps in the least when they stubbornly dropped four games by an average margin of slightly more than two points. Edgerton won its first game with an amazingly Nhotn shooting accuracy. Dick Gettle pushed in ll points on some nifty long shots while Pete Oetking operated handily under the basket, hooking in l5 markers. The game saw the team reversing its field by showing a relatively sharp offense and an extremely weak and loose defense. WHS 23 Fort Atkinson 36 The most encouraging factors in this dismal exhibition were Pete Oetking'S lO points and the fighting spirit of the boys even though they fought a losing battle. WHS 34 Richland Center 33 Fate nodded in the right direction for once. A determined team fought a savage uphill battle in order to gain the sought after vic- tory. The fine team play displayed was heartening to Prep followers. Dick Sexton cashed in on some timely last quarter gift tosses to tie up the game and then put the team ahead.

Joe was one of our regular performers, and strictly a team player. Possessing a body built more conducive to football than bas- ketball, he nevertheless proved a spark-plug of the team. Future Badger Prep athletes will do well to keep in mind his fighting spirit. Dick Gettle. Dick was again the smallest boy on the squad, but pos- sessed the greatest amount of natural ability. He wound up the season as our second high scorer. Dick's ball handling was a thing of beauty, and itls going to be difficult to replace him. Bob Hamilton. Although Bob didn't play regularly, his contribution to the team was great. we admired his perseverance and wished that his basketball could measure up to his football ability. Walt Meanwell. Walt was one of two Sophomores to make the squad and even became one of our regulars before the season was well along. He was a reliable and cool player and deserves a pat on the back for his general attitude and part in team play. Pete Oetking. This was Pete's first year of varsity ball, and he did a great job for us, even copping high scoring honors for the season. . Pete might have been more effective if he had spent less time trying to make the opponents foul him. Bill Palmer. Big Bill worked hard to improve himself, and certainly got results. He improved steadily, and shortly after mid-season, was able to take his place in the lineup and play s me very good ball. Dick Peckham. Dick was the biggest boy on the squad, and his chief asset lay in his ability to rebound and wrest control of the ball from bigger opponents. WPeck' should have scored more but just couldnlt seem to wait for the old percentage shots. Joe Prohaska. Joe was our leading reserve forward this year and started several games as a regular. He is a good Ufast breakerf, but needs to be more vicious on defense. ,We're looking forward to a lot of good basketball from Joe on next year's squad too. John Rockey. John was always Wrough and readyn, and played aggres- sively. He worked hard and had plenty of spirit. Someone hung the name of nButcherN on him and it stuck all season. Watch him go next year. Dick Sexton. Dick was another of our boys who always gave everything he had. He was the defensive ace of the team, a reliable free-thrower and probably the most improved player on the team over the season. Paul Trump. Paul is a real driver and always plays aggressively. At times he moves so fast that he even forgets to take the ball along. Paul picked up a lot of valuable seasoning and experience this year and still has two big years ahead. Jim Whiffen. Jim was a quiet, conscientious worker who plays best in a fast break type of game. Prospects for next year point to a faster team and we are expecting great things from young 'Whiff'. 4, 4 -A 1 wi 'W':!3T'Z'T T ' f E7 'W '?'7U'7'7 !T ?T 1- 3-,-M e -4 - I . . 4, . 1 , '- vu GOLF ' The 1946 Golf team had set an excellent example for this year's team to follow.

However, recently there has been a revival of the sport in interscholastic athletic contests. This year's team had a great deal of interest, fight and will to win, but lacked the necessary experience. As the season progressed, the boys improved noticeably. They won the Southern half of the Southern Ten Conference Meet and won representation in the state meet by winning the sectional meet at Madison West. With victory barely within their grasp, in a play- off for the Southern Ten Championship with Baraboo, they saw their chances fade partially due to some questionable officiating. Curtis Gwynne, a very enthusiastic coach, deserves much credit for the team's late season showing. The boys who were awarded minor letters included Pete Oetking, John Wear, Jim Fish, Dick Peckham, Rob Wegenberg, Fob Holland, Dom Damon, Dick Ryan and Jack Dedie. TRACK Although the track team could have made a better showing, it was composed of a group of hard-working fellows who kept trying. The team was entered in several dual meets, the West Relays, the Southern Ten Conference Meet, the State sectional, and the city meet. Again this year most of Wisconsin High's point makers were in the field events. Dick Peckham, a prep stalwart, distinguished himself in shot-putting and in throwing the discus. He set a new shot-put record of he feet, 6 inches in the West Relays. Jim Fish also aided the cause with some excellent pole vaulting and broad jumping, while Dick Figorscn, a Soph ore sensation, did admirably well in high jumping. Other note- worthy performers included: Bill Nelson Qmilel, Rd Tallard QMMOJ, Peter Conlin QSSOD, Bill Palmer Qdashesj, Tom Burkhalter Qhurdlesj, Caneron Adams Cdashesj, Ted Martin Qmilel, Dick Meier Qdashesj, Dick Kiesling Qdashesj, Bob Beck Cmilep, Earl Anderson Qhalf-milej, Dave Frederickson Cdashesl, Ken Little Chalf-milej, Hill Sarles Cshot and discusj, and Dick Bryant Qdashesj. G. A. A. G.A.A., or the Girls Athletic Association, is cme of the more active organizations in school as its name might suggest. The girls competed in many diversified sports after school under Miss Purves' direction. This competition entitled them to a certain number of points which varied according to the sport and the individual's par- ticipation in it. Girls who obtained enough of those points were entitled to G.A.A. athletic awards which they received at the honors assembly. The sports in which the girls engaged were: football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, lacrosme, riding and baseball. Specla rules apply in some of these so that there is, in many cases, quite a differentiation between these activities and similar sports engaged in by the boys. L Nitin ww YM.

ANNUAL STAFF It is nothing new for a yearbook staff to be confronted with problems. Our staff was no exception. As a matter-of-fact, this year's staff faced an extremely difficult task under two existing conditions. A major difficulty which presented itself was the obvious lack of sufficient funds through allocation. Our budget had remained the same while costs had greatly increased. Almost prohibitive engraving and printing costs forced us into a situa- tion where we would have either an unprecedentedly small Annual or else have to find a means of reproduction other than printing. However new,the Multilith method of publication was chosen. By using the school machine and Milwaukee made plates we were able to produce an Annual. Not only were we to assemble the copy but also our job included actual publishing. It gave us good ex- perience, but we would rather have done without that particular experience. In presenting a student publication we have tried to accom- plish several general objectives. We attempted to break away from the established conventional style found in yearbooks, how- ever, we found this difficult, again partially due to production troubles. We also wanted to give a good typical cross section of the school, its pupils, its faculty, and its activities. We tried to bring forth ideas which would be suggestive to future reminiscing readers of this book. Perhaps Qand we sincerely hope sob in ten years certain phrases or pictures will bring to mind some of the incidents which made up student life at Wisconsin High. We have appreciated the fine cooperative attitude of stu- dents and faculty alike. It was encouraging to find many taking our interests to heart, whether by going to the Annual Dances, offering assistance or even verbal expression of a sympathy with our Ncause.W - We also wish to express our gratitude to Mr. Porter, Mr Mev- erden, and Mr. Stahl for making this Annual possible.

Hoping to accomplish that, Council undertook chartering buses for out-of-town games, selling school pennants, obtaining records for the library, and obtaining repairs for the piano. Very important was their sponsorship of the Annual. An individual tax of ten cents per person per semester was recently introduced. This will be used to support council act- ivities. Stoughton High School invited the Council officers to reorganize their Council. The four officers also attended the State Student Council Convention in Oshkosh. They brought back many new ideas. Janet Huiskamp was elected secretary for the State Council. Miss Falk, faculty advisor, might well be proud of her advisees who had a constructive and productive year.

The social season was opened with a dance after the Wisconsin High-Central basketball game. A semi-formal, Hsweetheartfs Balln was held on St.Valen- tine's Day. Monthly meetings consisted of pot-luck dinners at member's homes which were supervised by Miss Weightman. The Food Committee had their hands full trying to plan mouthfuls for the girls. There were candy and hot dog sales to raise mon- ey for the Annual. Silver trays were purchased for the Home Economics Department, and used for the Parent-Faculty tea.

High, is named after a char- acter in mythology whose powers of playing music were so great that he charmed the rocks. Orpheus members do not perform such feats, but are only asked to take an interest in music or an act- ive part in one of the school's musical organizations. The club was supposed to meet every second Thursday at the home of one of its thirty-five members. Following the business meeting, the program chairman introduces the groups who are to perform. Sometimes the whole club sings, but more often a smaller group performs with piano accompaniment. Occasionally some member brings his instrument and entertains the group.After refreshments the members adjourn--each with a lighter heart,a new interest and a better understanding of the club to which he belongs.

HI-Y A new tradition was established in November when the Hi-Y club sponsored the first annual homecoming dance which was pre- sided over by the Homecoming Queen, Rae Rockey. The club was en- gaged in many other diversified activities. At the suggestion of Student Council, Hi-Y undertook supervising the lunchrooms.Another progect was an intramural basketball league for the benefit of the boys not participating in varsity athletics. They donated money to the Annual which 'was raised by scrap paper collections. Initiations were part of the fun along with varied business meetings. Hi-Y's claim to fame might be that it was among the most improved clubs in the city, then again it might be the favorable faculty reaction for the first time in years truly an advantage to any Wisconsin High club. Mr. Petzold aided and advised the boys, and managed to keep the club flourishing.

MADISON YOUTH COUNCIL The Council is a city-wide group of representatives from various organizations Cincluding high schoolsl. It was one of the pioneers in the nation and probably the most well developed council of its kind. Among its accomplishments was the securing of a Youth recreation center, The Loft. Wisconsin High is dis- tinguished in that Tom Peterson was this year's Council Pres- ident. Dave Miller and Dick Sexton were members of the executive board which controls the youth aspects of the Loft. JUNIOR RED CROSS COUNCIL. Under the capable sponsorship of Miss Ruth Johnson Wis. High again organized the Red Cross Council. Regular monthly business meetings were held with occasional programs presented before its members. Projects of the council included the annual enrollment drive of the American Junior Red Cross, mailing Christmas boxes overseas, and the making of any articles such as tray covers, napkins, decorations, etc. for use in service hospitals Members active in our school group are also active in the county organization. We are proud of Dave Miller, Wisconsin High's delegate, who was elected President of the County Council The council of Wisconsin High stands ready to answer the call, WWE saRvE.H PRESIDFNT ---------------- Betty Thronson VICF-PRVSIDENT ------------ Dave Phillips SECRETARY-TREASURER -------- Barbara Doi?

ON WRITING ESSAYS By Tom Peterson Writing essays is easyg at least that is our own un re- judiced opiniono No one told us to say that. Our head Eor is it headsj have not been turned by great success in the writing of essayso In fact, we have written only one in our whole life. Therefore because of our free and unbiased out- look on this field of literature, we would like to pass on to you our experiences and well seasoned opinions on writing essaysi The memories come fondly back to us as we remember when we were a mere child, blissful in the ignorance of childhoodg a small frightened thing still sheltered from the cruel out- side world a senior in high schooln It was then that we wrote our first essayi How our parents rejoiced to find that we had taken another step toward manhood, But there were tears too, because this was sure sign that we soon would leave them to go and seek our fortune. So this is how I came to write that essayo Let us go back to the fatal day. It is a bright Spring morning and we are found sitting in our English class, clear-eyed, wide awake, and bristling with attention. Qwe might say at this point that we have distorted one or two facts in order to maintain the mood of this narrative.j The teacher is expounding on the essay and how it has evolved from the old style to its modern form. Our notes show C,Oh, of course we are taking noteslj that Montaigne was the father of the modern essay. Hwhat a manlu we think as we notice the Nlndex to 5000 Modern Essaysn on the teacher's deskn Since the next ten minutes are spent in attempting to spell the gentleman's name Cthe closest we come is Champaignei our notes show little else about him. By now we have missed most of the notes on Emerson's HSelf Relianceu. NOh well,H we think, Uwe can copy them from someone else. Mr. Emerson will never know the difference.N Doodling takes over where Montaigne and Emerson left off. Soon our paper looks like an impressionistic painting of the horrors of gas warfaren Suddenly a murmer sweeps over the class. It seems that the assignment has been given, and with such subtlety and cleverness that we have missed it. We lean over and being careful not to startle our neighbor too suddenly from his sound sleep Cthat is very bad on the heartb, we ask him what the assignment is. 1 Hwrite an essay,H he grumbles and taking out his pen knife he begins to carve his initials in our hand. Quickly -. ? f' V - ' W ' '1, ,qt-mf , , we jot the assignment down on our cuff. Cwe don'f dare use the painting. It may be worth millionsli At present our mind is bubbling and seething with ideas on what to write. You recall from the lecture that an essay can be on any sub- ject and that originality and the personal touch are vital to a good essay. Ah, we think, this will be a cinchi Many suggestive titles begin parading past our mind's eye: HThe Importance of the Deisel Engine in New Englandua How to Make a Successful Career of Whittling: The Effects of the Bolshe vik Revolution in Java: basketweaving. Suddenly a thought enters our mind, but seeing the black emptiness it quickly retreats- Sometimes it is a good idea to read a few essays before trying to write one. Paging through a book we come upon a number of well known essays. HA Disertation on the Pork Chopu by Charles Lamb: HOxford as Stephen leacock sees itn by no other than Stephen Leacockg HThe Treasurer's Heportn, by Henry Morganthau, Junior. Glancing through these gives us some idea of a subject and the best method of presenting it. For instance, in a' humorous essay it is best to include some humorous remarks. We will find this is not absolutely necessary, however, be- cause if our essay has no humor in it. two other classes ex ist in which it may be placed: flj Serious, C25 Paper in which the garbage is to be wrapped. Now we choose a subject. Of course we remember that freshness and originality are the most important points of an essay, If an inspiration doesn't strike immediately, don't worry' there'S always a chance that the coal miners will. We decide to wait for an inspiration- forcing would only result in a strained type of essay which certainly is the last thing we, as an author, want as the fruits of our genius. Yes, we must wait patiently. Three weeks pass and still no inspiration. By now our teacher seems very anxious to get our essay. We wonder could it be that she wants to have it published? Or is it because it was due two weeks ago? This question,perplexes us for the remainder of the month. Still an inspiration has failed to strike. If our essay is to be one of the great essays of modern times, it is es- sential that it come naturally. We dare not hurry it. We must let nature take her course even though she seems to be travelling by ox cart. Another week passes. We begin to feel that perhaps our teacher would be satisfied with merely the greatest essay of the decade. For some unknown reason our grade in English is seen to be dropping lower each day. As John Masefield so aptly put it, we have Hgone down to the 'C' again.N If we listen carefully we are just able to detect a slight note of annoyance in the teacher's voice as she threatens to have us expelled from school. And then at last it comes! Our inspiration comes just as we knew it would! Feverishly we begin to write. Our mind is alive with ideas and thoughts. We burn the midnight maz da, writing and revising our masterpiece. At last it is fin- ished! Wearily we climb into bed, exhausted but content in the knowledge of a good job well done. Yes, we feel sure that our essay on writing essays will be a best seller withe ing a few days! DEPARTURE Harsh winds blow the ocean spray against my faceg Foaming waves churn against the boat carrying me away. Some day I shall return to the cool blue shadows Cast by the stately trees of my landg Back to the purple solitude of the forests where only the winds stir. Jean Carlson THE RIME OF THE RAZORBACK HOG or , SOW WHAT? These letters were exchanged between C- F. Akers, a hill billy farmer living in the backwoods near Memphis, Tennessee, and S. C. James, a Railroad claim agent of Saint Louis, Missouri. Dear Mr. James: My razorback strolled down your track a week ago today, Your H29N came down the line and snuffed his life away. You can't blame meg the hog, you see, slipped through a cattle gate. So kindly pen a check for ten, the debt to liquidate. C. F. Akers, February lst. Dear Mr, Akersf Old HZQH came down the line and killed your hog, we know: But razorbacks on railroad tracks quite often meet with woe. Therefore, my friend, we cannot send the check for which you pine, Just plant the dead Place o'er his head, HHere lies a foolish Swine.H S, Cf James, February oth, Dear Mr, Jamesf My claim returned by you, declined, Shows little justice, to my mind, 'Twas not for meat T kept this pig, But used him in my sawmill rig, His spine was sharp: so under logs I ran him fast with other hogs: And thus cut up each tie and beam That otherwise would call for steam. But now I have to spend much cash To buy machinery and trash For cutting logs, which, heretofore, Was all done by my trusty boar. Please reconsider what you've said And send me twenty, now, instead, C. F, Akers, February lOth, Dear Farmer Akersf It's good old bucks, the clean cold cash, You're after now to purchase hash, As the meat you planned to put in store Completely vanished when your old boar Met HZQH, the grand old train, p That softly sings a glad refrain when worthless hogs, like razorbacks Attempt to use her well laid tracks. This sawmill gag is only trash, Designed by you for ready cash. Your'scheme is good, your judgment'S bad, We're onto your curves, my Memphis lad, For you stood pat on Queen and Jack, And lost your dough and the razorback. Youlve had your say: you've done your stuntg, You'd better sue for your darned old runt. S. C. James, February 15th. Dear Mr. Claim Agents My lawyer wise will analyze This case for me, I'm sure: And ere he's through, I say to you, UYour old pike will be poor.H You are so warped and judgment shy That when a straight claim passes by You cannot tell the bad from good, And would not do it if you could. The trial will come off at my home And we will bump your ivory dome. So when the case has gone to suit, You'1l lose and pay all costs to boot. There's still a chance to stop this claim, Send check for forty in my name. C. F. Akers, February 20th Farmer Akers: A I have your reply, and wonder why You can so foolish be. On evidence and common sense Your case will soon be tried, And when the facts pile up in stacks We'1l prove that you have lied. So to protect your self respect And keep you out of jail, I hereby state without debate Facts that will make you quail. Mr. R. R. Pt, of Tennessee, Was told to scan the track To search the ground and look around, But evidence bring back. A leg he found with rope around, Tied just below the bend. He ten traced back and by the track, He found the other end. The engineer Cand none his peerj was seen that very night. He said he'd swear by his last hair The pig was tied down tight. Pm confident you will relent when you have read this o'er, As freedom's sweet, more so than meat Canned from the youngest boar. By return post withdraw your boast And claim which is no good. Then take up law, or wood go saw, But live as good men should. S. C. James, February 27th. My Dear Mr. Claim Agent James: Good Heavens! Help! Enough, say I. Oh, listen to my plaintive cry! Won't you let me pay you ten And never mention this again? I'm deacon in our church, you see. My reputation's dear to me, And I am surely much to blame, Please spare to me my own fair name. Oh'L Please don't throw me into jail, You mighty magnate of the rail! And if on juries I am drawn I'll stick by you until the dawn, And never more will I essay To get more than my lawful pay For any razorback too gay That roams upon your right-of way. C. F. Akers, March lst. Bob Junge There are meters of accent, There are meters of tone, But the best of the meters, Is to meet her alone.

This year, we of the class of l9h7, are finding it except- ionally difficult to find a means of expressing our gratitude to a most able and tolerant faculty. We have had jokes and fun together, and at times we have been exasperated and angry, but this has resulted in a feeling of friendship and intimacy which we cherish. For all the freedom we have had, mixed with learning and companionship, an humble and well worn Hthank youu seems scarcely enough to express all that we feel in our hearts.
