Gtteeting
The "Spy" has been successfully started on its career, and we are now about to present to you the first
Commencement number.

There are some who will be

dissatisfied with our production;

to them we make no

apology; we have done our best.

To others, who

have helped us cheerfully, we extend our hearty thanks.

If our annual is somewhat late in appearing Lefore the
public, it is only because of the lack of interest on the
part of the school as a whole, and the consequent difficulty in gathering sufficient material.
However, after many trials and tribulations, we
have our Annual, "As You Like It."

If in later years

the perusal of this book will gladden the heart of some
member of the Class of ' I 2, and recall thoughts of our
old K. H. S., we shall feel repaid for whatever work
we have done, and know that the Annual has fullfilled
its mission well.

Seniott Class Histotty

\Ve, tbe Senior Class, entered the K. H.

1n 1908, and in this short time have

advanced through the various stages of greeness, enlargment, ripening and mellowness, which mark the four years of high school life, and are now leaving it a sadder
but wiser class.
Sadder, because we have only the memories of the happy hours
spent beneath the old chool bell; and wiser, because· of the untiring efforts of our
teachers to impart to us ome of their unlimited store of knowledge.
On that memorable September morning, 130 fresh young faces first beheld the
form or Mr. Hocking as he walked acros the rostrum clapping his hands for order.
Since then, many of our numbers have left us, for reasons varied and diversified, until
now we number thirty·one. A few were attracted by the "Wild and Wooly West,"
ome by hopes of spet!dier gain and others by the lure of the green fields.
Our ranks
would have been thin, indeed, if it were not for tho e who did not enter with the original company, but came from some other chool.
And so we have pa ~ed through the cycle of four school years.
These were
marked by other chan<res. At the end of the econd year, our e teemed Mr. Hocking left
us, and hi successor, Oliver S. Thompson, stayed with us only a year.
\Ve are leaving ~Ir. Tremper in po e sion, and think that he will stay, after he has successfully
o-raduated our cla-;s.
We belie\·t! that we are leaving the rule' of the school in good repair, not having
broken many of them.
"Hookey" t:ases are seldom heard of, but little picnics are
sometimes held in vacant class-room' in the spring of tlle year, there be1n<r no rule
against them. The general a pect of school life has been exceedingly peaceful; we
have upheld the ocial tandard well, and our Junior ''H'Jp" wa proclaimed th~ best
ever given iu the auditorium, while our enior Banquet wa ·a ''winner."

CLASS OF 1912
All people cannot crack a joke,
There're very few who're witty;
But bear with me, my cla mate ,
When you read this little ditty.
Four years ago, this coming fall,
You to this school did come;
You had no fear of les ons,
Just thought you'd make things hum
And so a Freshie you became,
And then a Sophomore,
Among the . tanding- you obtained
\Vere 1)5' · galore.
But when a Junior you became.
And then a enior too,
Your le ons and the other tuff
\Vere more than you could do.
And so your marks beg-an to fall,
\Vhen your homework you did slight,
The mark that ome poor seniors got
Were certainly a fright.
And then to add to their alarm
Exemption marks were raised;
They now mu t get a 90,
When with 5 they'd grazed.
But fear ye not, my classmate dear,
And all will yet be well;
For 'round a Senior, I am told,
I ca t a magic spell.
o now, before we leave the e haunt ,
Three rousing cheers give we,
For the teachers of Kenosha Hig-h,
'Yho've taught both you and me.
For they have done a noble work,
And wisely, too, and well;
Though the good which we've derived
[from it
Would be quite hard to tell.
And now one parting thought we gi,·e,
As we leave this school o fair;
Remember the class of 1912,
And above all thing , B2.

But I shall not compel you
To believe they all are o.

Our lighte t boy i Skinny. kidd,
Light headed and light in weight,
The remedies to help him
Are to tudy, and eat, and - wait.

Our wittie t boy is Becker,
You hould hear the jokes he cracks.
The one he knows are corker ,
And outcla those of Doc Yak' .

The only thing he ever lack

No better the class can boast;
He' in a clas all by himself,
Independent of the host.

Our brightest is our old friend Pink;
He is so very bright,
That when you meet him in the dark,
You don't need any light.

Our talker, he i Curtis,
He can talk and talk and talk;
And when he gets through talking
He can give another talk.

Our bluffer, he i Mathews,
And he doe really bluff,
But the good advice that Boney needs,
Is: '·Too much is enough."

Be t liked is he who is right there,
With hi smile and '•Hello".

Without vigor, without vim;

Why, that's all Greek to him.

The rival of "Bill Taft".

The tallest boy, Walt Hagmann,
And the most important, too.
He is taller than the tallest girl,
Excepting Ingeborg Rudd.
There are many more beside the e,

But they can wait t!ll next time,
We will mention just these few.

TEACHERS OF TEACHERS.
There are now working together in the schools of Kenosha several teachers, who
graded according to age, can say of the one next up the scale, "She was my teacher."
This group-picture represents such a combination.
When Mary Davison (Mrs. Bradford) was five years of age, she was taught to
read in a district school in Paris, Kenosha County. by Miss Helen M. Perkins. Miss
Perkins was recently visiting in Kenosha and was persueded to become a fifth member
of the group.
Hattie Lim pert (Mrs. McKenzie) during her first year in the Kenosha High chool
in '77 and '78 had Mary Davison for a teacher. Miss Limpert after graduation in '81
taught in the country a year and then became a teacher in the Durkee School. There,
in the second grade, in the year '82 '83, Iaude Yule was one of her pupils.
Maude Yule in due time graduated from the Kenosha High School, graduated
from the Milwaukee Normal School and returned to Kenosha to teach. In the seventh
grade, Central building. in the year '99 - '00, Perdita Dewey went to school to her.
Miss Dewey is now a teacher of English and Public Speaking in the Kenosha
High School. Miss Yule is teacher of History in the same school. Mrs. Harriet Limpert McKenzie is supervising principal of the Weiskoff and Gillett cbools. Mary
Davison Bradford, who left Kenosha and went into Normal 'Vork in '94, became uperintendent of schools in 1910. Miss Perkins, after long service a a teacher, ele\·en years
of which were given to Normal chool work in the South, is now living in Delaware,

THE UNWRITTEN LAW (WHISPERING) AT K. H. S.

To whisper or not to whisper, - that i the question; \Vhether 'tis nobler in the mind, to suffer
The coventry of thi outrageou law,
Or to revolt again t a stubborn faculty And by opposing, quelch them? - To be canned
No more! - and by canned we mean bounced
From the society of three hundred students,
Our girl and boy friends - 'tis a point
Worthy to be hoped for; - be canned!
Be canned! Perchance be bounced; - ay, there's the rub,
For if we're bounced for good What chance have we for further education
To train our mind . There's the point
That breed calamity for our whole life.
But who can clo e his "trap" from morn till night,
E'en tho it be to teacher's satisfaction, to give
To him the punishment of detention, the law's consequence.
That insolent hour that always the patience
From the athlete, when he him elf might on
The gridiron be with a bare pigskin Who would such bear,
\Vho working and studying with a weary countenance,
Would ditch but with the dread of something after.
This "unwritten law", which makes each student
Glance o'er his shoulder, ere he speaks a word,
Scared, lest he catch a teacher's eagle eye.
This con cience doe make coward of us all,
And thu the native hue of resolution
r~ covered o'er with the pale case of thought;
And enterprises of great pith and moment,
\Vith this regard, their currents turned away,
And lose the name of action. But cheer up,
Our view till take precedence
O'er the ''unwritten law."

[ 50]

SOPHOMORE FEAST.

The annual feast given by the Sophomores wa a success this year, as usual, and
a tandard was e ' tablished whkh future ophomore cla ses will find it difficult to
surpa s. The Fea twas held on Friday, December th, in the high chool auditorium,
with Mr. and :Ir . Threinen and Mr . l\Iary D. Bradford as guest of honor. The
ophomores prodded something new this year in the way of entertainment, when they
gave a ~harming one act farce entitled " ix Cups of Chocolate".

THE DEUTSCHER VEREIN XMAS T REE.

On December 20th, the Deut cher Verein held its first Xmas celebration, in
which they tried to copy closely the celebrations held in Germany. A large Christmas
tree laden with colored lights and brig-ht ornaments occupied the center of the stage,
and a short Christmas program was rendered by members of the club.
Kris Krinkle then made his appearance with appropriate gifts for everyone,
cau ing much amusement. After refreshments, which were strictly German, were
served, the evening was given to dancing. This was the first affair given by the
German club, and we hope that this organization will become a permanent one in school.

SENIOR BANQUET.

The Seniors of this year followed the custom established by previous classes, and
gave a banquet to the faculty on the occa ion of the awarding of the h0nors. The
banquet was held in the high school auditorium, which was tastefully decorated for
the occasion in the class colors - green and white. The dinner was followed by a
talk by Mr~. Bradford, who acted as toastmistres , and the announcement of the
honored students by ~Ir. Tremper.
everal musical numbers, a readino- by ~Iis
Dewey, and the toa t to the teachers by Paul Windesheim, completed the program,
while the remainder of the evening was given to dancing.
[ 52 J

ATHLETIC DANCE.

On February <Jth the Athletic Association gave its annual dance in the high
chool auditorium, following a basket ball game with Racine, and the event was a great
success in every way. The auditorium was beautifully decorated, the stage forming
a pleasant "cozy corner" with its shaded hanging lights, chair , rugs and 1912 banners
in green and white.
The hall proper was hung w!th banners, banners, banners, the
Purple and ·white of Racine mingling with the Red and Black of Kenosha.
Although
the Racine team s1'lffered defeat in the game, we did not allow that to spoil the evening
for them. Everybody had a good time
Delicious home made candy was old and
frappe was ·en·ed between the dance .

JUNIOR PROMENADE.

On April 19th the Annual Junior Pr0menade was gi,•en br the Junior Class. The
hall was decorated in long- festoons of pink roses radiating- from immense central domes
which were lighted by electric light" At the west end of the hall a g-reen fence wa
placed from window to window and this cozy-corner, which was furnished with porch
furniture proved to be a very comfortable place in which to rest between the dances.
In the center of the dance floor was the orchestra pavilion decorated with palms. Stem's
Orchestra (with Johnny Hand's pianist from Chicago) furnished the mu~ic. Punch was
sen·ed between the dances. The Prom wa pronounced by all a the be t ever
e,·en
better than last year's.

FACULTY RECEPTION.

The member::. of the facult_r certainly showed that they can enjoy a good time,
and that they expect the same virtue even in dignified seniors, when they planned the
tunt Party, which was held on April 25th in the Auditorium. The ''dig-nilled eniors''
appeared dres,.ed in infantile garb, the boy. in knee trouser·, blouse. and pretty, bigties, and the girls in short dresses and their hair in curls. Several memlrers of the fac_
ulty showed themseh·es to be real sports, appearing in ludicrous costume . Thc> ntertertainment was in the form of an indoor field meet, and the refre::.hment were ,·ery appropriate to the occasion, consisting of cocoa, sandwiches, pickles, popcorn balls. ice
cream cones, stick candy and antmal crackers.
We are sure that a more enjoyable time has ne,·er been spent in K. II. .. and
doubt if the: future classes will enjoy a better.

OUR TWI S.

DOG GO E!

John and George, our Senior Twins
Are as much alike as two pins.
Not in look , but what they do,
\Vhen you ee George, you ee John too.
They go to classes side by side,
And ther~ together they abide.
If Georcre keeps books, then John like[wise;
If John's called on, then George will rise.
Sometimes George alone is seen,
Especially when he's in Racine.
It's there, far up on \Vashington treet
Our Georgie goes, a girl to meet.

Nina had a little dorr,
He was a Bo ton Bull;
he always fed him Bo. ton Bean
Until he was quite full.
Ile followed her to school one da,
Though~ Tina said "~Tay, nay."

-'

He said he'd like to learn Latin
And thought he'd like to stay.
What make that dog love Latin o?
The students all did cry;
Because he loves his teacher so,
G. Tremper did reply.

The girl she looks at him and smiles,
Our Georgie blu he - nearly die ! ·
But still has courage ju t the same,
He takes her to a ba eball rrame.

\Vhen ummer came they left old "Chi"
And ettled on a farm,
And who would think that way out there
That dog would come to harm?

\Vhile Georgie thus away has run,
Our John at home is going some.
He phones a girl to come and meet
Him at Charles and Kentucky t.
The girl is there and o is John,
But he gets scared and wants to run.
\Vith htm she doesn't make a hit;
He runs. but vells: ''Let George do it!''

He bow-wowed at a tramp one day,
Which made aid tramp quite mad.
The tramp, he fed him poisoned meat,
The dog died. - Ain't it ad?

PUZZLE - WHO IS SHE?
he came to us in the winter,
\Vhen the davs were dark and drear,
And she blo omed out in the school room,
o it seemed like Spring was here.
No long-er were thing tupid,
To longer were we bored,
We were o much astonished
At the gowns he could afford.
J.

Each day or two, a new one,
·would she never reach the end?
We held our breath in wonder,
For in most, she could not bend!
And then the pretty flowers
That never eem to wither!
And at parties - Oh, those curls!
A-bobbincr hith- and thither.
