  The standard $SU(2) \times U(1)$ fields are considered in 4D plus one extra
compact dimension. As a result two basic effects are obtained. First, four
Goldstone-like scalars are produced, three of them are used to create
longitudinal modes of the $W,Z$ fields, while the fourth becomes the Higgs-like
scalar. Second, $W$ and $Z$ get their masses from the extra compact dimension
with the standard pattern of symmetry violation. The resulting theory has the
same fields as in the standard model, but without the Higgs vacuum average. The
properties of the new Higgs scalar and its interaction with fermions are
briefly discussed.
