The Senior Class of 1910 Every year a Senior Class leaves the Weyauwega High School of which is justly proud. The class of 1910 leaves behind it its failures as well as its successes. But may our failures be pardoned and let us speak only of our achievements. First, as Freshmen, we entered the High School in the year of 1906, a class of 26, more or less verdant, but much of such material as could be moulded by the teachers into models of scholarship and deportment. During this year our ranks were lessened by the loss of four students. At the beginning of the Sophomore year there were only sixteen to fight the battles against failure and during the year one more member of the class fell by the wayside. 1907 was the first year that the High School entered the annual tournament at Appleton and we, as Sophomores, had the honor of having two members on the team. In the Junior year the class sent three of its members to the basket ball tournament, and in the spring won the pennant of the school in the track meet. The class not only made good along athletic lines but also in Geometry we showed our mettle by mastering this dragon with scarcely a failure in plane and none in solid. This was exceptional, for in other classes there have been many failures. Then passing along to the class of Seniors. Here there are sixteen students, all working for the coveted goal of graduation. The winter came and the basket ball team was organized and won great honors, of which you can read in another page. then the class play was arranged for, and took place on March the 8th, and although not a great financial success, showed the ability of the class, and as to our annual, judge for yourself. OUR SCHOOL... .The Senior Class is justly proud of the Weyauwega High School. The building is constructed of pressed brick, is electric lighted, and is ventilated by a fan which furnishes a plentiful supply of fresh air at all times. Sanitary drinking fountains have been installed during the past year which does away with the old drinking cup. A fire drill is practiced frequently and the building has repeatedly been cleared of all pupils in 65 seconds. During the past three years all textbooks, pencils, test paper, etc. have been furnished by the school. This enables each pupil to be supplied with all necessary materials promptly and at no expense to himself. The saving to each pupil is from $5 to $10 per year. The laboratory is well equipped and furnishes all necessary apparatus for the classes in botany, agriculture, physiology and physics. The library is pleasantly located opening off the assembly room. It is supplied with the best reference books as well as many sets of standard fiction. All pupils interested in an up-to-date high school will do well to look up the advantages of the one at Weyauwega. REVIEW OF THE SEASON OF 1909-10 When the basket ball season opened last fall and our coach, Mr. Miles, began trying out different men for their positions, it seemed as though we would not get enough material from the reserves to fill the vacant places left by two of the best forwards that ever played for the High School. After many tryouts we lined up against Manawa and won by a decisive score, but this was early in the season and neither team played finished ball. At Neenah we met our Waterloo. This was due to the team being overconfident and at times Neenah got in some fast work. But in the return game we played ball and won easily. Our next big game was with Appleton, who won the championship of the middle west. Before the game the hopes of winning were small, but the boys went in to win and played ball to the last and won by a score of 26-22, a victory which no other team can boast of this season. The game was the fastest ever played here by a High School team. And never was there so much interest shown in a game. Then came Waupaca, who had been undefeated this season, with about two hundred rooters who came only to see their team go down to defeat. In this game we played under a great handicap, as both of our forwards had been sick and one could not play. In the return game the boys had rounded up into fine condition again, and we won by a large margin. This victory was enjoyed by all as Waupaca considered us "easy" and when they found they were not in the same class, they got busy on "explanations" and have been telling "how it happened" ever since. We do not blame them as it must have been an awful "jar" to have been snowed under by "Old Wega." We had two games scheduled with Stevens Point, but they failed to put in an appearance and the games were canceled. The team disbanded, for the next game schedule was a month off so we missed the chance of playing Appleton to test the strength of two of the best teams in the state. Thus by hard work coach Miles saw another great season in basket ball. PROGRAM.... Invocation - - - Rev.
