My body is the sacred temple of my spirit. Qu the solid foundation of a goodly inheritance, I will build this temple in purity and cleanness, temperance and self-control. Not with con- senting will shall I ever mar or deface this holy dwelling: rather shall I strive to make it strong and beautiful-a tabernacle tit to shelter. for life's short day, an immortal soul on its journey through eternity. And the spirit which dwells in secret shall be liberated from ignorance and all unrighteousness. By reading, by contemplation. and by intercourse with my fellows, I will open the windows of my soul to the sweet influences of eternal truth. It shall range through the long ages of the past. it shall hold communion with the kings and queens of thought: it shall enter the fairy land of the atom and the cell: it shall pass beyond the flight of the farthest star. God's truth shall set it free. Nor can I forget that what I am is of more consequence than what I know. Therefore I will love truth, cherish honor, practice kindness. and walk humbly before my God. With all my heart, soul, and strength I will labor till the day is done, that I may know the richness of a life complete. the joys of life eternal. vii A rrrafinn nf gfrlemnrrary, the puhlir: srhunl num sfemhs as its mightiest :hampinn amh its rlyinf rxpuneni. viii ..,,. ff is Lf f Z 'V TL? g al l ,a f ,S M- fw4:.Uu, Q,1.- X Q 2 i sa. 1 , A Q ix, If? 53 if - : vm, Zi af. .

Xvhat wretched imbecile. banished from class by an irate teacher, has not sought refuge and companionship at this benevolent container of liquid refreshment? Then again. when wandering aimlessly through the halls. upon being spied hy those who should be busily at work developing bumps of knowledge. how quickly you are overcome by a burning thirst! That lumbering. loaling slouch is quickly thrown aside. Xvith an attitude characteristic of one who has a definite and justifiable purpose in view, you partake of the sparkling beverage. How often, when the lines of Virgil which you have not translated are reached. do you quickly arise, with a look of untold agony. and go out to the water tank to chuckle with your friend! How at recess the crowd of youthful humanity loving' ly embrace this familiar object. for lack of other means of support! lint remarks someone. Hthose cups are just full of germs. and l'm afraid of the water. ,Xhl We understand you now. You are a Freshman. Xkihat, wretchl Do you not know that this moisture dispensary emanates from the school board? liverything which now comes from the school board must he pure and undefiled. The investigation has given us this benefit. Moreover. the great mass of red tape. through which everything coming from the school board must pass. serves as a filtration plant of wonderful efficiency. ,Xh, no. my dear. the water tank is scientifically and educationally unadulterated. Then, verily, we assert that the water tank. the greatest institution of Democracy. for all people look alike to the water tank. is the fountain of youth. of hope, of inspiration. 'Tis the friend of a youth in need. Auditorium Hlf bell rings. There is a mad rush for the auditorium. The innocent observer. caught in the onrushing torrent of students seeking front seats is madly pushed, pulled. or jerked into the assembly hall. ln spite of the incon- venient circumstances. our friend has taken due notice of all the interesting things about him. lie sees a group of girls just ahead of him. lie hears the following in rapid suc- cession 2 l think auditorium is lots of fun. -'llow many periods will be skipped? - l've got to study Virgil. - Who's going to talk? XYhat will it be about? I hope he takes a long time. Still, long talks are a bore. but then it takes time. lYe don't have to listen. -i'-Xren't those puffs awful? Look at that dress! etc.. etc.. without rhyme or reason. The observer watches this group. They take seats near the back. Their chatter con- tinues in subdued stage whispers. Mr. Webster scans the horizon. .Xfter a pause he be- gins. The sky darkens. Mr. XYebstcr frowns. The storm breaks. Mr. XYebster has stopped, and in terms of utmost severity asks those girls right down there in the middle of the room to stop whispering. The girls are thoroughly ashamed and repentant. The rest of the students are sur- prised and thankful that they were not the guilty ones. This time the observer muses. Yes. of course the girls did not intend any harm. That excuse is shopworn. To be sure. they were thoughtless, but young people must be taught that courtesy is the tirst es- sential of good breeding. The auditorium period is arranged for the benefit of the students of the East High School. XYhen they attend that assembly. they do so to receive information and knowl- edge. ln return. their undivided attention is demanded by the speaker. whoever he may be. lt would seem that respect for Mr. XYehster alone would be sutticient. In any public meeting, auditorium. debating contests, class plays. or any branch of school activity. the students attend to be instructed or entertained. The smallest offering in return is absolute attention. lf you come to laugh and talk. while others are making an earnest effort. our advice is stay zitvuy. 7G 3 Caps and Gowns .XPS and gowns or not caps and gowns, is a question over which liiryan himself would surely wax oratorical. It is a burning question beside which woman suffrage seems minor, indeed. It is pressing an early solution, or this great Democracy will fall to rack and ruin. The great leaders of the opposition declare that the gowns will make the girls look too old, just like the university graduates. Oh horrors! Such a thought must be a haunting nightmare. Never. never, shall our sweet. conhding. youthful. blushing. bashful children assume the appearance of aged and decrepit university students. A second argument is that the gown could be worn upon one occasion only. Oh, no: such a delusion is misleading. for there is our university graduation at which all must wear cap and gown. Even if the cap and gown are not worn. what girl would so forget herself as to overlook the transcendent importance of a graduation dress? XVho would be so cal- fm.-. loused, so utterly out of harmony with the spirit of graduation, as to assume that a grad- uating robe could be worn on any other occasion? But how unimportant this seemingly important question is! Does it interfere with, or benefit, the male members of the class? Answer us that, and we shall be interested at once. But patriotism makes this suggestion: lVhy should not the costumes be in the school colors? lYhat could be more beautiful than to see our lovely maidens adorned in snow-white gowns with fiaming red caps coyly resting on their heads and a scarlet tassel over one ear? And the valiant youths with white duck suits and crimson hosiery? This would be a glori- ous spectacle! Once seen. never forgotten! Five hundred performers and trained ani- mals! Performances afternoon and evening! Parade every morning! Tickets fifty cents! C C5i9 Crying Needs HAT is this awful clamor? asked a stranger as he entered East High School one day. Oh, answered the Senior, Hthat shriek issues forth from the Statue of Minerva. She is demanding that she be cleansed of the filth which now begrimes her plaster robes. The moaning and wailing you hear comes from the auditorium. It is the call of those big white blotches on the side wall. for paint to cover their pallid nakedness. The awful rumbling comes from the annex. That culmination of 2oth century mastery in architecture. the annex! Une rumble is for those beautiful soft wood, grey-painted front doors, the other for that death-dealing cliff-stairway with those limb-wrecking swinff doors. . D N This. in part. explains the awful clamor that you hear. G 5JCfi'D HE class of Nineteen Hundred Nine does not presume to call itself the best that ever graduated from East High School. Besides. we would be too modest to assert the claim, upon every occasion, with that arrogance so characteristic of graduating classes. The class of Nineteen Hundred Nine, however, has stood for certain definite ideals in high school life. These ideals have not been smothered in meaningless class mottoes: progressive action has followed their conception. The things we have attempted to do have been bigger, better. more lasting than those undertaken by preceding classes. XYe have done this, not to crown our efforts with extraor- dinary pomp and external brilliancy. but to set a higher standard of real actual worth. Wie have sought to accomplish those things which have a definite significance. and a permanent value. School spirit and earnest. enthusiastic endeavor in all branches of school activity have characterized the members of the Senior class. Everything which tends to make our school life broader. more comprehensive, has been encouraged and urffed 'ilo U. fm S 1 nas Perhaps the best evidence of the standards we have tried to establish may be found in the selection of the Senior class play. lYeary of the interesting, but valueless. high school vaudeville. we sought for something classic. It was found in Tom Pinch, the dramatized version of Dickens' novel 'flffartin Chuzzlewitf' Though, of course, the pro- duction was essentially the work of amateurs, it showed earnestness and sincerity. The stage setting was more elaborate and pretentious than is usually to be found in high school plays. No higher tribute could be desired for our play than Mr. XVebster's comment: It was a really good play. the best that has ever been put on in this auditorium. Though the estimate of the HCardinal will be largely a matter of individual opinion, nevertheless the editors have had high ideals and aspirations. They have tried to make the book representative of the whole school-to make it live. interesting, worth while. The best literary values have not been, intentionally at least. sacrificed to wit and humor. The editors have striven to make the humorous material good natured and inoffensive to the most sensitive. yet bright. crisp and to the point. Whatever may be the shortcomings. or perhaps the failures. of the class of Nineteen Hundred Nine. we have aimed high. 9 HERE is to be one departure from the East High School. at this Commencement time, which should not pass unnoticed. .Xfter many years of service on behalf of the boys and girls of Minneapolis, Miss Roe is to retire from teaching. Her departure will touch deeply the hearts of many boys and girls. and young men and young women who in the past years have been moulded and uplifted by her gentle influence. They have gone forth from this school at their various Commencement seasons. as we shall go forth at ours, with clearer heads. kinder hearts and a larger vision because of her part in making them what they are. The passing of such a teacher cannot be marked with words of faint praise. Her rare sweetness. her gentleness and kindly tact. have endeared her to us, and to her pupils one and all. She has been ever ready to give without stint her time and effort to our service. She has required of us, in turn, so much of enthusiasm, of honesty, of directness of purpose. that to be enlisted with her was at once an inspiration and a source of despair. She would see nothing but good in anyone. She expected us always to be at our best. She found excuse. whenever possible. for our mistakes and our failures. and we had to be worthy of her trust. XYe have marveled ever at the loftiness of her spirit. Though her grip on the details of the classroom never loosened. her thoughts were on the highest things only. lt was hard to reach the standard that she set. and expected of us, but we all are better for having tried to attain it. lVe honor her also because of her attitude toward her work, She taught us Latin, but she was interested not mainly in Latin. but in boys and girls, in us. To her. Latin was a tool, a means by which the development of her pupils might be wrought. But Latin was not to her an inert. inanimate thing. a dead language. a thing merely of conjugations and rules and case-endings. lt was alive. lt was a point-of-view. It was the magic key which opened to us the door to a wonderful past, the life and thought of a people different from us. in an age different from ours. NVith her. we saw through Roman eyes and lived in Roman days. And we surely are better fitted to cope with the issues of life here and now because we have had. under her guidance. the wide experience of facing life from the standpoint of the great Roman world. l -13- ff 5 1 Q .L it The Cardinal Board Editor-in-Chief William Iimlsmi Business Manager lfldwarfl .Xmlersmi Assistant Editors LITERARY . lilauclxo Lyuiaii Artliui' fiirven Margrarvt Nilt,'llll'lQ'l1 Iiflwiii Imlilberg: ORGANIZATIONS lllltli Martin Guilford Horse SOCIETY Illiillilll llill I-'linwire linlfiiismi ATHLETICS .luliu Niinmu .Iolm llustad ART Margare-t Daley Mullin- Quayln- ,.15.... illang er genius has been slum nf growth -161 ICR 7 P I , ?

Last September this same troop. now a band of noble Seniors, entered A room. the dwelling place of the high and mighty. Safely within its sheltering walls these newly-proinoted Seniors were anything but dignified. VVhat are you going to take ? everyone asked everyone else. The impulsive answers indicated that Virgil, English, History. German. French. Chemistry, and Algebra held the lead. But soon such expressions as 'Algebra is the worst everf, Chemistry is nause- ating. French is terriblef' German is not to be laughed at. History is too hard on the memory. English is all right on lecture days. Thirty-five lines of Virgil per day is outrageous, were heard. and then everyone settled down to work. At the first class meeting we performed our semi-annual stunt of electing VVill Hodson president. After the other oiiicers were elected. we eagerly adjourned, for on all sides was heard. lf that president doesn't hurry up. l'll starve to death. 'Tm so hungry, aren't you? . XYouldn't some lunch taste good? . etc. At the next meeting the Cardinal Board was elected. As each one was nominated. he or she was compelled to rise so that the gaze of Mr. Burgstahler, our most recent arrival. might rest upon him or her. A month or so after school had begun. a visitor passing the English Lit. recitation room might have heard a subdued sound. rising and falling like a wailing wind. On look- ing into the room the visitor would have seen the whole class swaying to and fro to the tune of VVhan that Aprille with hise shoures soote .... By the time we learned that Dido had suffered misfortunes and so could sympathize with Aeneas. we felt that we could now sympathize with Aeneas even better than Dido: for had we not passed through similar but more trying situations in the class room? But now. at last. the mid-year exams are safely passed and we find ourselves only semi-conscious of the fact that we have begun our last semester at High School. For three years we have worked and played. rejoiced and sorrowed together and our Senior year has proved a fitting climax to all the others. XYe have attained a high place in athletics and scholaishipg moreover. we have been benefited and broadened by all the best phases of scliool-life. XYe have reached the top of this ladder. XVe stand silent upon the threshold of a new world. Some of us are to take up the business of strenuous life and others are to be privileged to go still further into the realms of science and of other learning. XYhatever we shall do and wherever we may go we shall always be better and nobler by virtue of the years spent within the walls of East High under the kind and watchful eyes of our dear teachers and beloved principal.

Mr. Ackerson, in a tit of anger. had carelessly allowed a spark of fire to drop from his Haming eyes into the wastebasket, and in an instant, cries of Hl'7irel rang through the halls. The occupants of each room, however, with rare presence of mind. first crowded around their respective doorways. to read the direc- tions as to what course to take in a calamity of this kind. Xkhat was the consternation of the natives of A room to iind the notice gonel It was now a case of each one for himself. and they all passed into the hall to seek various means of escape. Keeping in mind previous instructions, however, no one hurried except Clifford Tves, who had to rush a report of the catastrophe to the East Side Star. Preferring to avoid the crowd. one Senior turned down towards the auditorium, in- tending to gain safety by escaping through the annex. lfinding the door of the great assembly-room locked. he went down through the basement, with the intention of making his way to the door on the other side. Tn the dim light, the Senior could see but poorly, and when he had gone about half way, he stumbled over something on the floor. Groping his way back, he went over the object, and found it to be a junior, who with his pipe in hand, lay at full length, overcome by smoke! Being but in a stupor, not much more serious than his normal condition, the unfor- tunate one was revived with slight difticulty. Aiding the still weak member of the 1910 class as much as possible, the Senior now led the way towards the other auditorium door. XYhat a relief it was to get into the fresh air once more, for as yet the smoke had not penetrated thus far. So with renewed courage, the two proceeded to pass through the auditorium. Startled by a tremendous din which had suddenly broken out, they looked up towards the stage, and there, partially concealed by the piano, was the band, just beginning to play Hot Time at top speed. By the concentrated effort of the two fugitives, they managed to raise a shout sufficiently loud to attract the attention of the nearest musician, and in a few moments the rest of the players were quieted as well. The Senior briefly explained the situation to them, and immediately they all started for the annex door. Headed by the 'oo representative. they climbed up the steep stairs, which have proved the downfall of many an eager Freshman. and were soon at the top, ready for the linal dash toward liberty. They were barely started, however, when Miss Strohmeier, aghast at the excitement. appeared before them. Kinder, was ist los? was the familiar question. The junior, proud of his ability to understand the German language, told her of the circumstances, and now the fire suffer- ers added one more to the little band. Passing on. they were just about to descend the stairs. when they were mystified by a weird, monotonous sound coming from the physics room. The bass-drummer went to investigate. and peering into the room, was seen to beckon to the others. They hurried to him. and looking in, saw Mr. Towne, an old almanac in his hand. evidently memorizing jokes to be sprung upon the unhappy physicists the following day. The junior, having in mind some samples of Mr. Towne's wit already given frequent utterance. protested vigor- ously against warning the teacher of his danger. The counsel of Miss Strohmeier pre- vailing, however, it was decided to tell Mr. Towne of his peril. Acting upon this decision, the cornetist went into the room, and roused the man from his absorbing task. They all now went down the stairs, and were soon safely out of the building, the junior perceiving with anguish that the almanac, too. had been rescued. But what 'was the astonislunent of them all. to see no sign of life about the school--no throbbing engines, no crowd of spectators standing about. Alas! Could all those pupils. alive and active hut a little while ago. have perished like rats in a trap. without a soul outside knowing of the seething furnace within? The survivors feared the worst. The Senior leading the way they trenihlingly ascended the steps of the l'niversity avenue entrance. and opening the door. looked in. lnstead of the roaring fire. the clouds of smoke expected. all was quiet and peaceful as lmefore. The old halls looked just the same. not a sign was there to show of any unusual occurrence. Vtionderingly. they entered the huilding. hut were puzzled as to what course to take. when the Senior espied Len Rollins and O'Cordon gossiping over hy the water tank. llere they could solve the puzzle. Going over to the idlers. the Senior hurriedly asked for an explanation of affairs. 'l7ire? drawled Rollins in his leisurely way. Oh that was nothing. lfor a little while there was some excitement. hut on the way out of .X Room. Kenneth Salisbury and Dianah Hill began sparking. and started a hack-Ere.

The trusting flowers held their faces upturned to these suns. gathering beauty and nourishment from their strengthening rays. But on the first floor of East High, the flowers were large and of dull. unattractive colors-this january of IQO5. Those on the second floor were nearing their prime and were giving promise of great magnihcence which, alas! never developed. But on the third floor there was a room in which the tender shoots of newly-painted gardens gave promise of glorious beauty in the near future. ' The Sun that moved in a daily course about this room, smiled as a sun had never smiled before: and the young plants spread out their tiny leaves and gathered strength from this Sun as no other leaves had done previously. And every year this flower bed was transplanted to a different room. and every year the oldest bed in the school was uprooted and thrown out into the world where each plant fsevered from scholarly tiesj might struggle for itself. either to flourish and blossom again or to shrivel and die without the aid of a protecting Sun. Steadily. this garden, planted in January. log. flourished and grew more beautiful. each year becoming a joy to the Sun under whose care it was. In its turn, it was placed in the room of honor on the flrst floor. where ever watchful Phoebus of that room might shine as best it could, but all to no purpose. for no Phoebus. however radiant. could add to the beauty or glory of such a collection of flowers. Some were of a dark hue. rich in color and beauty. Others were of a golden tint, equalling in color almost the bronzed rays of the Sun itself. Still others were of paler tints. slightly variegated with color. and evennthe most casual spectator could see that the entire bed of flowers was of unusual beauty and delicacy. -Xnd then arrived an eventful year. January. IQOO. this wonderful species was up- rooted in its turn to give room for younger and less beautiful beds of flowers. But this garden. more virtuous than others. did not perish when thrown upon its own resources. but flourished grandly. each flower in its own sphere. and will soon be renowned through- out the world for its greatness and superiority. 659659 The chemistry laboratory is now open.

Of course, as all Freshmen are green. these were. but of perhaps a less pronounced shade than usual. Their first sad experience was in finding class rooms. XYhat could be more humiliating than to End themselves in a room supposedly their own, only to be laughed at by a strange teacher and jeering Seniors? After about three weeks, however, they found that they could recognize most of their rooms. and so turned their bewildered minds to more important matters.-studies. marks, teachers, and so forth. Rumors about marks were floating around, and they began to get warning notices concerning these much dreaded reports. Unce they were broken into the regular routine of their duties. they gave more atten- tion to lessons, with the thought of recess and lunch ahead of them: for by this time they had become well acquainted with the lunch counter. One of the most common experiences of the lfreshman was. when amply supplied with algebra, history. and grammar books, to be met at the door of the English library by Mr. Pendleton's English only is studied heref, As time went on the feeling of strangeness wore away. and they began to be well ac- quainted. Some of them became fresh enough to skip classes, misbehave in auditorium, and throw notes during recitations, but they were soon aware of watchful eyes on every side of them. and came to remember that they were no longer in the grades. This freshness continued until they began to realize that the term was nearly over. They wondered, should th-ey work hard enough the last two weeks, would they not make a favorable impression which wo-uld go a long way towards averages? This was out of the question though: good skating was such a temptation that they let studying Hy with the winds. Alas! XYhen the term commenced. how insulting it was to be still consid- ered a Freshman when the newcomers were so much more insigniticantl Their lessons were becoming difficult and they had to study much harder. They found that their troubles are continuous. and that they yet lack experience. Though the third floor was still their head- quarters. they liked to be seen talking to groups of Sophomores on the second door. They hoped that perhaps someone might think them second year pupils. They were all looking forward eagerly to that day in June when they should lose the hated name Freshman and receive the much coveted title of Sophomores. ..53- A Freshman Fantasy HE Freshman tossed restlessly upon his downy couch. QA week ago he would have called it a bed, but higher education was beginning to make itself felt.j He had just worked fifty-nine algebra problems, memorized Various statements concerning the stem plus the tense-sign, plus the personal endings and written a story in whose plot he had tried to combine a streetcar, a pot of jam. a brutal-looking man, a sunset and a letter, preserving throughout. unity, mass, and coherencef' This intellectual rarebit had produced the tossing aforementionedg and dreamily the Freshman murmured, Gallia, est omnis divisa in tray parties-I wonder what a tray party is -and then, he saw the doors of the auditorium opening and found himself pushing in with ' a big crowd. At the door was a long table, and behind it, a group of men were hop- ping about handing out trays of various shapes and sizes. A T want a tray, please, said the Freshman timidly. The man behind the table made a funny bow. 'cW1'ite it out, pleasef' he said, handing the Freshman a ham sandwich and a pen. It wasn't easy to write with such a crowd, shoving and pushing, but at last the Fresh- man received his tray and was allowed to pass inside. XVithin he found many friends known to him heretofore, only by name. He recognized Orgetorix at once because he wore a costume of heavy chains which he was rattling hard to keep the audience from hear- ing a boy on the platform.

He ceased, and the audience applauded with a loud shout. but the Freshman was startled by a smothered sigh close behind him. He turned quickly, and then said impulsively. stretching out his hand, VVhy. you must be the :Gentle Boy., I should have known you anywheretf, The person addressed was a short. fat boy with bright blue hair and large pale yellow eyes. He looked at the Freshman with a fixed stare. and then sighed again while two large green tears trickled slowly down his cheeks. 'fNVhy, what's the matter ? asked the Freshman.

Power Varl Rollins FTER successfully passing through The trials of a Freshman and living the Just Sports of a Sophomore, the marvelous class of IQIO returned to East High School in September as Reverend Juniors. Following an early organization there was a class scrap. This should be underlined in the annals of East High. The tottering Freshmen, the half-grown Sophomores and even the dignifiedQ?j Seniors were aroused by this thrilling event. Credits, or rather the lack of them, was the cause of all the trouble. Naturally inclining towards the higher ideals, we adopted fourteen credits as a standard for member- ship. Unfortunately by this decision some would-he Juniors were barred from the class. These, with much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, begged to be allowed to wear the Junior insignia of honor-the class pin. Their kind-hearted friends arose in their be- half. The standard was made thirteen credits and the former ineligible ones became Hpart and parcelw of the Junior class. Then came the eruption. A young reformer arose in our midst, with a laudable desire to raise the class of IQIO from the depths into which it had fallen. At the third meeting of the Juniors, he declared that there had been a miscount, that thirteen credits had been wrongfully made the standard, and he demanded that there should be another vote taken. The Juniors rubbed Parliament: all was in vain. Still thirteen credits ruled. Suddenly, with noisy clamor, nearly twenty young Juniors, not able to remain where the standard was so exceedingly degrading, left the class. Alas, these poor mis- guided youths must needs then sacrifice the honor of belonging to the Junior organization. Here endeth the scrap, but not the annals of the Junior class. Between the hard labor on our .Physics and Botany lessons and the digging on our Cicero and German or French the social committee had several meetings in order to decide upon our first Junior Informal. The seventh of December saw artistic and wonderful post- ers gracing the walls of each assembly room, announcing, that upon the eighteenth day of December, Nineteen Hundred Eight, there would be, at Noble's Old Hall, the Great Junior Informal. That was a grand triumph. Although the affair was not graced by the presence of the Seniors. we proved ourselves to be a much greater success socially and finan- cially than they ever thought of being. After the Holidays each Junior could be seen poring over his dog-earedi' books in order that he might proceed onward in the fiowery path of knowledge. At about this time the Junior headquarters were established at 1322 Fourth Street S. E., where each day the President and Treasurer and others held down seats entertained by local music. On February fourth. Nineteen Hundred Nine, the class had a meeting to elect their officers for the spring term. The former incumbents retained their offices after much dis- cussion, with frequent references to the constitution. and not a little campaigning on the part of one of the members. Many comments were made, but silence now reigns. This history of the Junior class approaches its end: but the Mighty juniors after having suc- cessfully demonstrated their social abilities in that crowning climax of the year-the Iu- nior-Senior. and after having secured a world-renowned corner on double pluses, continue in their most honorable, useful. and meteoric career as they have begun, gaining prizes worthy the contention of gods.

The first action taken in the organization of any class is to elect tin this instancej a president. Xominations are now in order for that office. No one seemed very anxious to have a president. for everybody was relying on some- one else to get up and place a candidates name before the house. .Xt last one very brave boy in the back of the room arose and managed to keep his nerve long enough to say. Ml nominate Mr. Bush for president. This nomination was immediately seconded. The temporary chairman called for further nominations and hearing none, moved that the polls be closed. This motion was seconded and our temporary chairman announced that M r. Bush was UNANIMOUSLY elected. Qur future president took his chair but not tem- porary this time. The order of election was proceeded with. .Xt this point Mr. Carlson reeled off into the profound solemnity of his latest masterpiece for the debating society, en- titled The whyness of the wherenessf' A deafening noise arose from the back of the room and Mr. Bush demanded, f'Orderl That one command awed everyone into silence and pretty soon we could hear Hal squeaking for help. -Xfter having been pulled out of the hub-bub he wanted a motion passed that the sergeant-at-arms be made to keep quiet tlNlr.

CM12 Carlson still talkingj Here Laura, Helen and Mark came in, and in an eloquent speech Mark put before us the excellent qualities of samples of ribbon which they had brought back with them.

Yes, l am glad. toog for they will go with my new suit just too fine for anythingf, This and numerous other masculine exclamations were heard after Sadie had been so overjoyed. tMr. Carlson has almost reached the climaxj After a great deal of uncertainty these three motions were carried through: I.

On the beautiful Rue Royale, before the Cafe de Luxe, stands a former East High student, gazing with fascinated eyes and admiration within. At last his curiosity and admiration get the better of him and he enters and takes a seat at one of the small marble-topped tables. As he sits there waiting for his order to be taken, there slowly steals oyer him a delicious sense of delight and rapture. Entrancing music fioats to him from behind screening palms: the heavy fragrance of exotic flowers palpitates in the air all about, the shaded lights, the flashing jewels on beautiful women, the subdued rustle of silks and laces at once soothe and intoxicate him. He feels himself drifting away on a wonderful sea of melody, of color and fragrance. Then, sud- denly, he comes to his senses with a start. He sees, coming toward him from the dis- tance. clad in the conventional garb of a waiter. a figure that stirs into life some sleeping memory. Surely that auburn head is familiar: surely he knows the graceful swaying walk. partaking of the lithesome lightness of the leopardls tread. Nearer and nearer co-mes the figure: it has stopped at his table: there rings in his ears the query of the Parisian waiter, Etes-vous servi, Monsieur?' in tones once. long ago. familiar. And then, slowly. there dawns upon him in a blinding Hash of comprehension, the fact that the waiter before him is his old French teacher of East High School. T IS morning, all fresh and dewy, in old Berling in the linden trees before the market- place the birds twitter and carol joyfully in a riotous abandon. Down the market street, drinking in the early sunshine that glistens on the ripening cherries, hanging over the stone wall beside him, strolls a former East High student. He is nearing the market hall. All around, the peasant women in their white caps and brightly-colored kirtles arrange their wares for the day and chatter gaily to each other in their German dialect. Suddenly, however. the student stops short in his walk and sta.nds, riveted to the spot, for in that bust- ling crowd of market-women he has seen a familiar face. It is of a woman. dressed in the typical peasant costume of short skirt. blue bodice and white cap. calm of face and dignified of manner. her head crowned with a mass of luxuriant red-gold tresses. The student stands bewildered and amazed. for he recognizes there his former German teacher in old East High. Then he gasps, all at once: for there, on the front of her basket, in which she issorting some things. stares at him in big letters of black and white, the words: Auction of Double Pluses. Best Marks to Highest Bidders. HE afternoon sun falls in soft, warm splendor on the ruins of ancient Rome. It touches the broken frescoes with a mellow glow and strikes golden Hre from crumbling pillars of marble, yellow with age. Before the Roman Forum, gazing with interested eyes at the mob of excited Roman citizens in front of him, and especially at another figure. is an old pupil of East High. The form he is watching is one of stately bearing, in a. white toga, ascending the steps of the Forum. Now it turns and the student sees a distinguished, scholarly face flushed now with anger, eyes large and flashing, and gray hair bristling. His heart beats faster, and he leans forward, scarcely able to believe his eyes, for it is swiftly borne in upon him in an overwhelming rush of recollection that this citizen, standing before him is none other than his former Latin teacher at East High. Then he starts, for in a voice that he used to hear day after day in his Latin classes, the illustrious citizen cries out in stentorian tones, f'Friends, Romans, countrymen, in about a minute Illl get right up on my earf' A Bluff UR literature lesson was about the Renaissance, an interesting subject but also one about which I knew very little. XYe were to have filled an outline on that subject but I had not studied my lesson. I remembered, however, that the outline was headed, The Influence of Italy, and decided that the question had something to do with that, but whether the Renaissance influenced Italy or whether Italy iniiuenced the Renaissance I hadn't the faintest idea. At any rate, it was connected with Italy, so I started out. It started in Italy about the year -a. long pause-then I remembered that we had been studying about the latter part of the 15th century- well about the beginning of the 16th centuryf, The frown on teacher's face began to fade-another long pause-teacher decided to help out a little. XVell. what was the Renaissance? XYhat does the word mean?' I felt the Hoor coming back to where it belonged at that. Ibegan to think that I had a chance after all. Let's see now re-re that means again, oh, if I can only get the meaning of that word I'll know' where I'm at anyhow, was what started thru my head.-Naissance. new birth, sure now we're coming.-K'Reborn, I answered with a good deal of assurance. not a little proud of my achievement. But my relief was short-lived. Yes, rebornfl he replied, without the slightest surprise. but what was reborn? XVoul That was a poser and away went the floor again, but, hold on. an inspiration arrived just in time. XYe were studying literature. so why w+asn't that what was reborn? I decided I would try it anyway. It wasn't just what he wanted but he managed to get the word he wanted Qlearningj from the rest of the class. Then he came back to me. NVell, what started it: what took place at the beginning of the 16th century to influence learning? Things were getting a little too definite to suit me and I was just about to give up in despair when from somewhere way back among the memories of boyhood days that good old date 1492 came bobbing up. 1492-1492-1492, what happened in I4Q2? Oh! Hurrayl I almost jumped up and down. I was in such a hurry to say it. Columbus discovered America, and right on top of that I remembered that somebody or other had found a new route to India. I didn't know who it was and didn't care. So I sputtered out all I knew about it and was overjoyed to see the teacher's face clear up and to hear him start to tell us about what the people of that time thought of the world and how this great discovery changed their ideas, broadened their minds. and made them eager to learn more: for I knew that all I would have to do for the rest of the period was to sit down and listen.

Nov. 28, 1908.-It is rumored here on good authority that Clifford Ives, the greatest football player ever known. has had his hair cut. It is probably false, however. for itnwould not be possible for any living man to perform this feat in 48 hours.

Kuehn in Chemistry-'LXYell, l mean steam at zero degrees, centigradef' Algebra HE development of Algebra dates back to the earliest civilization. The Egyptians and Babylonians were skilled in numbers and understood the solution of equations of the first degree long before Algebra as a science had its beginnings. ln the British Museum is an old Egyptian papyrus which has lately been translated. lt was written by Ahrues about 2000 B. C., but it is probable that it is a copy of a much earlier manuscript and gives us an idea of the knowledge of mathematics near the time when Abra- ham visited Egypt. lt is entitled Directions for obtaining knowledge of all dark things. One of the problems reads: f'Heap, its 2f3, its M, its If7. its whole. it makes 37.ii The unknown quantity among the Egyptians is called Hf1'Z1l'lU or heap, so the problem as inter- preted in our symbols reads 2X3 X plus Xf2 plus XX7 plus X equals 37. lt is to be noted that juxtaposition indicates addition. not multiplication as with us. There is another interesting example in this papyrus. Ahrues speaks of a ladder of numbers 7, 49, 343, 2401, 16807, and besides these powers of 17 are written the words, picture, cat, mouse, barley, measure. He adds no explanation but Cantor suggests a pos- sible parallel in the old problem: 7 old women went to Rome, each old woman had 7 under etc., which we know better perhaps in the old riddle, As l was going to St. Ives l met a man with seven wives. According to their interpretation, then may it not mean: Seven persons have seven cats, each cat has seven mice, each mouse has seven ears of barley-corn. from each ear of barley seven measures of corn may grow. lf the seven persons had owned no cats, and the cats had caught no mice how much less barley would Pharaoh have added to his granary? Ahrues gives the answer 19607. ln Mathematics as well as in other lines of investigation the Greeks take precedence. They make use of the knowledge of the Egyptians and Babylonians to take large strides in the development of geometry especially. The study of geometry went hand in hand with the development of Algebra: for the early mathematicians referred most of their algebraic solutions to geometric constructions just as we may prove that Ca bl a 2ab b by constructing a square upon the sum of two lines. By such methods they made their solutions even for quadratic and cubic equations. Among the Greeks the name of Diaphantus stands first in the history of Algebra. He introduced algebraic symbols, although he often ignores them in his solutions. lt is especially to be noted that his algebraic work does not depend upon geometric solutions. The Romans added little to the studies of the Greeks and even misinterpreted much of their work, so that our knowledge of mathematics came rather from Hindu and Arabian sources. The Hindus especially distinguished themselves in numerical calculations. They gathered all they could from the Greeks and Rabylonians and then worked out results of their own. ln 1881 there was discovered in Xorthern lndia an arithmetic dating from the third or fourth Century R. C. XVe are told that the Hindus wrote with a cane pen upon a. small blackboard with a white, thinly fluid paint which made marks easily erased. or on a white tablet less than a foot square. strewn with red flour on which they wrote with a stick so that the figures appeared white on red surface. By the time of Bhaskara in the T2ll1 Century the Hindus had advanced far beyond the Greeks. Bhaskara is the first to say, 6'The square of a positive quantity. as well as a negative quantity. is positive. The square root of a positive quantity is twofold. positive and negative. There is no square root of a negative quantity because it is not a square. The Hindus used little of the brevity of modern algebra or even of Ahrues or Dia- phantus. The following is a Hindu problem: The square root of L2 the number of bees in a swarm has flown out upon a jessamine bush, 8X9 of the whole swarm remained behind: one 1111011 111 lhc' 111gh1 hy 11s s X11w11c1', 72...

The apothecary occupies no mean place in our literature. Much of the early writing was morbid and gruesome, and filled with the superstitious of the period. These tales frequently were woven around an old man, who with bent back and bright perceiving eye, lived among stuffed birds, glass retorts and mysterious drugs. He was as potent with his healing medicines as he was ever ready to dispense his poisons: and a much feared and respected person, he generally turned out to be. He was consulted on all kinds of subjects. He could foretell storms, devise charms, mix love potions. This early apothecary gradually became the Alchemist. This was the period of adventure when far and wide men were searching for new worlds and strange people. The sp-irit of the time had a universal influence, and it was strong among the Alchemists. They worked in secret, often at night and alone, delving into the mysterious, and searching for new worlds in the bottom of their crucibles. A father would impart his knowledge only to his son: and so, through this dark period. the spark of knowledge was kept alive, and little by little encouraged to burn clearer and brighter. So the Alchemists of that age have become the chemists of today. The chemists long ago ceased stuffing birds and drying herbs. They no longer linger over their poisons, healing medicines and love potions. Others have taken these duties. No lo-nger do they pursue the vain search for methods of changing lead to gold. The Philosopher's stone and rainbow's end have no interest for them now. But the world can not forget the romance so closely surrounding this perio-d of chemistry, and even today looks upon the chemist as something of a wizard. Today, however, chemistry is really extremely matter-of-fact. Every industry has its chemists. whose business it is to insure a uniform product, devise economical methods, and above all. to use all the scraps by working them up into useful and valuable products. The Hour mill, the sugar mill, the packing plant, every enterprise connected with the raising, preparing or manufacturing of our industrial products, has its chemist. He mixes the concrete for our walks and houses, tests our gas, and dyes and prepares the fabrics for our clothes, rugs, carpets and draperies. He makes and mixes the paint for our homes, the stain for our furniture, the glass for our windows, the leather for our shoes. Perfume, soap, extracts, drugs. metals,-everything we treasure as making life worth while, has undergone the searching examination of the chemist, or has been made under his watchful care. Carelessness, neglect, or ignorance on his part, means more to us than the failure of any other link in the chain, yet his work is so quietly done that we seldom think of him as being of any real importance. Our interest in Chemistry is first aroused through the mystery and romance in the early history of the subject. It should be maintained by the importance of the chemist's position in our modern complex life. Chemistry. as taught in the High School, attempts to present facts regarding the prin- ciples underlying the science. to clear away the superstition and ignorance still largely sur- rounding common chemical phenomena, such as tire. processes of life, growth, death and decay, to familiarize the student with the methods of manufacture. the uses and the proper- ties of the acids, bases and compounds constantly used in daily life. Such a course is not planned simply to prepare fo-r further work in the University, nor will it enable one to run a drug store, or analyze a patent medicine. It is a complete introduction to the principles involved. It gives a look into the treasure house, and shows the arrangement and relative importance of the treasures stored within. It then arouses interest, and starts the student aright on his journey after truth and knowl- edge. -78- The Substitute One day Miss Roe of Latin lore Excused her classes Sophomore. As she was ill: but she did write All Virgil classes must recite. And then. alas. we all did ask To have XVill Hoidson teach the class. He quickly called us all to order. Rapping the desk a little louder And vainly trying to hide his fright, He said. Miss Ackley, please recite. She did not know, as soon was seen, XYhat all the Latin words did mean, And struggling vainly in her mind Said, T can't do line thirty-nine. The boy behind the oaken desk, 'Twas plain to see, was quite hard pressed 'lXYell. skip it and go on, he said, XVith forty-onef' and bowed his head. But still the teasing girl declared, That sne had not her lines prepared, And calmly asked XVill to relate The parts. which she could not translate. Stung, stung, fell from his ashen lips: Twice you see' how Miss Ackley trips And cannot give her words aright. Ts there no one. who will recite P Another tried, another failed. And more and more the teacher paled To see such ignorance displayed By more than one unhappy maid. And so it was the class around: Not one- well versed could there be found Lvntil at last in sore dismay XYe left it for another day. We joked poor Wvilliam straight and fast. And ere one half the hour was past. The noise was like a swarm of bees: XYe thought no more of stormy Seas. The bell had scarcely freed the class. Vt'lien XYilliam made a hurried pass.

XVhat's the matter with those kids over there FU I passed this conversation with a friend of mine as I met him one day on my way home from work. The boys of whom I had spoken, were stamping on the steps of a grocery store that had recently started, and were yelling as though for a prize. We walked over to the store, and I repeated my question to the boys. XVhat are you kids making so much racket about? Somebody dead in there ? No, but the old guy's sleeping in there. f'Sleeping!'y I answered: g'doesn't he want any trade? He surely wonlt get it that wayf' NV ell, you see, continued George, the poor fellow didn't know the people around here, when he started, and he got all the dead beats in this part of town on his books, and I guess he's lost a good deal, and is going to quit. Letys go in and have some fun with him, I said, as I tried the door. XVhy, it's lockedg and there's the lazy old lubber lying on a box back there, I continued, after looking through the door. W' e rattled, pounded and kicked the stout panel, but with no response. Say, there's something wrong. Either he's drunk or has fainted. for he certainly would awaken, after all the noise we've made. if he was asleep. Let's try the back door. XVe lnirried back to the rear. The screen door was hooked, but we easily tore the screen and unlocked it. To our surprise, the other door was unlocked. and we immediately opened it, intending to enter. The moment we opened the door. a strong odor of gas made us hesitate. XYe did not hesitate long. for not Eye feet from the doorway lay the man we had seen from the front door. He had a large fur coat on, with the collar turned up. He lay on a large box, with a gas tube tightly gripped between his teeth. XYe ran in and turned off the gas, and. as we got a good view, recognized the man to be the storekeeper. But it was too late. there were no signs of life. i'George, I almost whispered. speaking for the hrst time since we entered, wif you'll go and get a policeman. I'll wait for you here. I don't think his family is around, if he has any, and I suppose the police ought to know about it. I had to wait only five or six minutes for George and the policeman. Ile looked at the scene without speaking for a couple of minutes. Then he said, XYell. boys. I guess thats all we'll need of you now. but I want your names and addresses. for you're the only witf nesses we have. XVe gave them to him, and gladly left the store. I suppose he lost so much and was so discouraged with himself and the world that he thought he'd end it all by killing himself, George said, in an entirely different tone and spirit from when we stood on the front steps not half an hour before. Yes, tired of life. I responded, as we parted where we had met. -gi.. The Parental Point of View QCD morning. Mrs. Brown. How d'e do, Mrs. Jones? Come in and set awhile.

J 486.- No more we'll break our rest XVaking, to fear a test Turn we with joyous jest Pleasures are glowing A Botany Excursion BOTANY excursion is the most amusing event of the junior year, if only we were wise enough to see it so. Picture a class of from fifteen to twenty girls Qnever a boy, oh, mercy, nolj, armed with notebooks. knives, needles, microscopes, umbrellas, and rubbers. Giggling and talking they crowd into a car, and ride to the end of the line. Then the teacher takes the lead, steering for the dampest, muddiest swamp and the largest patch of sandburrs. She speaks, Now, young ladies, we will go in groups, collect our specimens, and return here to examine them. Here starts the fun. Dignified maidens encounter a barbed wire fence. Over or under, that is the question. Under, it isp and dignity is swal- lowed in the mud. Someone surely catches in the fence. and while some of the group laugh. others pull her out. Then the gossip commences. Stumps serve for sofas, and for half an hour, every group except one, the one with the teacher, enjoys the excursion very much Then conscience troublesg and the group starts off again. Horrors! a cow! and the maidens scurry, scattering needles, knives, and personal belongings, right and left. Presently, after recovering from this fright, they meet some boys! But they are braver now, and do not run, and scatterto the right and left-only smiles. At last the whistle blows: the girls come together and compare specimens and notes The diligence they display in drawing and in writing out notes, proves not only interest. very deep, in Botany, but a deeper, more longing, desire for home and dinner.

The preparatory gun has been fired, the boats are nearing the buoys, ready to be off. Ah! There it goes. XYe see a puff of smoke bursting forth from the Club house, and then we hear the report. The boats are off. and the most trying moment of the race is now over. XYe see them, closely packed, rushing between the two starting buoys, each one striving to get the lead. To the left, we see a boat with the sailors sitting on the bottom. the result of trying to start in a heavy wind with no headway. But the other boats are now stringing out, and the real race is on. See how they tear thru the water. splashing it and sending spray over the sailors, drenching them to the skin. The lealing boat has now rounded the first buoy, and is beating windward to the next. The sailors are clinging to the larboard, and hanging as far out as possible so as not to lose any wind in the sails. The other boats are beginning to round the buoy. and each one, in its turn. pulls in sail and heads off to windward. Now we see the leaders after they have rounded the second buoy and are tacking to make the home stretch. Now boats are pointed in all the different directions. The whole lake is covered with their white. bird-like sails. Seldom is a prettier sight to be seen. But now they are nearing the club house. the winner far in the lead. A white sail flies by the home buoys. and--boom!-we hear the finishing gun. The race is over. Kiwi? A Want P AXTED-By the Senior class of '09 a greater respect from the under-graduate classes. To promote this feeling of respect. let the teachers address the Seniors. as Miss and Mr, but the Freshmen as child or my dear. The Freshmen could not but notice this. and be influenced by the dignity which is implied. Also. give the Seniors many more privileges than the under-graduates. who would be benefited because- they would think of the joys of Senior life. and be urged on to greater effort in their studies. that they might become privileged characters the sooner. Let the Seniors have the lower halls as their reception rooms during their vacant periods and before school: moreover, let them have no lessons assigned which theykvill not be able to get in school. so their afternoons will be their own. To promote further respect due to our illustrious class. let H.-X Room be decorated with class and school banners. posters. footballs. and other outward signs of school and class spirit. Let there be easy chairs around the room. mission desks and seats for those who prefer them. rugs on the floor. and no teacher in the room. Surely. if all the other methods failed to arouse a feeling of awe and admiration in the hearts of our under-classmen. a sight of the great privileges which we possessed and enjoyed. a sight of us peacefully studying or conversing. with no room principal to disturb us. a sight of us with all the freedom which rightfully belongs to Seniors. surely would cause the under- classmen to prostrate themselves before us. humbly looking forward to and striving towards the blessings which they in turn, as Seniors, should enjoy.

Afraid of the Dark ELL jack. don't you think it's about time you was goin' after the cattle? It's seven o'clock, said Farmer Everson. when he found his boy playing with the dog. long after the time when he should have been on his way to the pasture. Seven o'clock! repeated the boy in surprise, Gee, I didn't slpose it was gettin' that late. Come on, Frank, he said, patting his dog on the head. It's time to go get the cows. Reckon you'll have to go some too, 'said his father, as he went to the barn. Jack did hurry much faster that night than usual. The sun was low in the west, and it would be dark before he could possibly get home. He didn't stop to throw stones at the trees, or to toss sticks down the path for Frank to go after, or for any of the other boyish capers with which he usually amused himself on the way to the pasture. Yet he did not desist from talking to Frank, the only amusement that seemed left to him. Frank had always been his play-fellow, and the dog was just as much a companion as any person would have been. They had run races, waded and swum the creek together, played hide-and-seek amo-ng the trees, and hunted the pasture from end to end for the cattle. Frank knew as much as 'lack about driving cattle, although 'lack understood it as well as any boy of his age. The lad had only one failing. but that made it difficult for him at times to bring in the cattle. He was afraid of the dark, and the very thought of ghosts terrified him. The possibility of darkness falling upon on at top speed. They came to the edge of the wood just They had covered a little more than half the follow a cow-path through the silent forest. sional twittering of some bird that had not yet and the footsteps of .lack and his comrade. Here Jack broke the silence. HI guess the XVe'd better hurry. or they may get tired of waiting at the gate. and lie down. And besides, if we don't hurry it'll be mitch dark afore him before he reached home now urged him as the sun was setting behind the horizon. distance. The rest of the way, Jack must heard. except the occa- rustling of the leaves, Not a sound could be gone to its nest, the cows'll be waitin' for us tonight. eh. Frank? b . go off somewhere and we get home. So speaking he broke into a run, followed by Frank. They forded the creek before dark and hastened on to the pasture gate. They reached the gate at dusk, but saw no cattle. jack's heart sank within him. lt would be dark before he could get home. and possibly before he could lind the cattle. He trembled at the thought of it. Then he heard a rustling in the leaves. Frank started on a run, and circled around the thicket. Presently the herd came stumbling through the shrubbery toward the gate. with Frank pressing on their heels. jack opened the gate with an exclamation of joy and a word of praise for Frank. He counted the cows, as usual. as they went out. One was missing. He counted them again. but to no better end. He scoured the shrubbery and thickets around, but all in vain. He must send Frank home with the herd. and hunt the lost cow alone. Trembling and downcast, he turned back to the dark. shadowy pasture. to look for the missing cow. There was an old farm house just a few rods from the further side of the pasture, that held the terror of the country around. No one would approach it at night. Sometime be- fore, the owner had been murdered in the house. Since then it had been looked upon with awe and terror by the whole community. One person had said that he saw lights there at night, another that he had seen. several times, a shrouded form. in the barnyard. carrying a lantern. Another, a. lad of fifteen, had rushed into his home. one evening about nine 0'clock, white as a sheet and nearly exhausted, stammering that the ghost at VVittet's old -90- place had dropped his lantern and run after him and almost caught him. Such were the stories told of this place. No one had lived there since the murder, and its reputation held everyone aloof from it. This corner of the pasture did little -lack avoid as long as possible. He searched from one end to the other, with the exception of this one place, but to no avail. As a last resort, he determined to go to that part of the pasture. As he approached it, the faint ringing of the cowbell became audible. On he went, his fears increasing with every step. He came out into the open, and saw the cow in XYittet's yard, a dark shadow in the dim moonlight. NYhat should he do F-go after the cow and run the risk of being caught by the ghost? But he must get the cow, he couldn't go home without her. He saw no light in or near the house. The ghost hadn't come yet. Possibly it wouldnlt come until he had gone with the cow. At any rate. he would risk it. He must get the cow. He found the break in the old fence, through which the cow had entered. He went on quickly over the rough field, prick- ing his feet upon the dry stubble. .Xt last. with sore feet and terrified spirits, he reached t-he cow. and turned to drive her back. -lust then he saw a faint light flashing among the trees across the field. in the direc- tion in which he must go. What could it be? Xlias it the ghost. returning for the night? lt now disappeared, and again he started for home. Then the light appeared, brighter, and nearer than before. lt must be the ghost: the light of no human agency would flash in that manner. A chill of terror went through his bones. llis limbs grew stiff. He was bare- footed, and could not run fast across the stubble field. Flight was impossible. lt was coming nearer. llis only hope was to hide behind the cow. Possibly he might not be seen there. He stopped the cow with a handful of tall grass, and held her by the bell strap, placing her between him and the approaching danger. Again the light disappeared, but soon came into view again. lt was in the pasture. It was coming across the held. lt was coming straight toward him. lt was within a few yards now, as he watched beyond the shoulder of the cow. He gave up all hope: the ghost had seen him, and was after him. He shut his eyes to meet his fate. Now hc heard footsteps. livery step sent a chill of terror through him. It was within a few feet. lt spoke.-and hc recognized his father's voice. His father. missing him and the cow. on the arrival of the herd. had come out to help him. ...o1... The Castle HE castle was a large, light brick building with four entrances. Originally it con- sisted of one large building with three stories, three entrances, and a basement, but in later years an annex had been built on. ln the basement of the old part the steward held reign, for here is where the royal lunch was served. On the first floor were four large rooms and many smaller ones, each containing a Lord or Lady of the King. Each of these Lords and Ladies had a number of followers whom they looked after. All three floors were divided and arranged in the same manner. T Between the first and second floors, and over the main entrance was the chamber ofthe King himself. Here could be seen the Lords and Ladies and their followers consulting with the Kingg and a great good King he was. The annex contained a large room and many small ones, each having its Lord or Lady presiding over its people. The jester of the castle had his apartments here, and a jolly place it was. Between the two parts of the castle, was the assembly room, where the King was wont to call together his nobles and followers. and consult with them.

I wanted to do the proper thing, so I took her there for luncheon. Yes. I agree with you: the rooms are beautiful, and the dark woodwork and daintily set tables certainly look artistic. It was refreshing to step into those rooms after the difficult walking. It was a place where the ancient gods might have feasted. lVe chose a table in a charming corner and looked over the pretty menu card. Lamb chops and peas, fruit salad and strawberry shortcake sounded right to both of us. lYe gave our order to a trim little waitress, and sat back in our chairs and looked around. Tables, here and there, were taken by the elite of the city. XYe felt as tho we quite belonged to the real 'four hundred., After feasting our eyes on well known society leaders, we began to feast our palates on the two thin slices of bread on the table. lYl1at there was of the bread and butter gradually disappeared. After a while our waitress came, only to inform us regretfully that the lamb chops and peas were all gone. Oh, we said, looking over the menu. uomelette and potatoes for two. She vanished. but shortly reapipeared to say that there was no more fruit salad and that they were all out of shortcake. By this time. our patience was about gone. It had taken her half an hour to find out this. No other dessert appealed to us. but peach salad sounded novel. so we ordered that, and more bread and butter also. In about five minutes. we each had set before us a beautiful dish, with a lettuce leaf and four slices of a peach artistically arranged upon it. but with no dressing. However, we took the peaches for dessert, and the lettuce leaf for salad. Finally the omelette came, and what there was of that could easily have been put on a calling card. The meal was soon over. and we gladly left the place. Alice looked very hungry and my formerly heavy purse was light. suspiciously light. You two poor things, we murmured. sympathetically nodding, as she paused in her story. Oh, she continued. that isn't the worst of it. I have never told the sequel before. but I feel I must now. Once outside. Alice told me how she had enjoyed being in such a pleasant place. But she said never a word about the luncheon. A little farther on. we became mixed uo with the theater crowd and I separated from Alice. lVhen I could. I stepped aside and looked for my guest.

XYho wooed and won a lady fair, As you will soon be told. This Yeoman loved a lady, A lady of high degree: But he knew not how to win her, For a poor Yeoman was he. Then up arose this Yeoman bold, Tho born of low degree. For he knew full well, as you've been told, Faint heart ne'er won fair lady. So up he picked his good long-bow. And his arrows sharp and bright. Then blithely forth. to his lady's house He went that selfsame night. He stood below her window wide, And sang his song of love. The lady fair liked well his song And answered from above. Quoth she, f'Fair Yeoman strong and bold. Ye sing so sweetly to me From this time forth, so help me God. My heart beats only for thee. Then that bold Yeoman danced for joy. And shouted loud his glee. He swore by all his patron saints That a husband true heid be. Her father heard the Yeoman's shout.

The Hash Brigade 'Twas one o'clock in East High School, And thru the silent halls A deep, expectant hush prevailed, Still free from telephone calls. 'Twas just before dismissal time, ,Xnd from behind closed doors Came the listless drone of the students' chime Ranging from squeaks to roars. Then all at once thru the corridors, An odor, strange, did steal. An odor savory. warm and sweet. To all it did appeal. It made the pupils' courage rise, Inspired them with might, And to the weary teachers eyes. It brought a strange new light. Then suddenly thruout the halls The passing-gong did sound: The bugle call! the hght was ong To lunch we all did bound. YYhat was this fragrance strange and rare, That caused our onslaught rash? 'Tis always on the bill-of-fare. 'Twas East High corn-beef hash! TOSL An Excursion OME shop girls out on a strike, remarked a miller, as a crowd of East High girls passed through the milling district, the other day, on a Chemistry excursion. Perhaps some other persons, standing on the corner of lYashington and Nicollet, had that same thought, when, with a wild dash, the crowd flew across the car tracks, and scrambled, pellf mell, into a car going south, which fortunately was empty. The conductor also must have had his thoughts on the subject when the girls, seated on the two long seats, facing each other, were given the signal by Mr. Cook, and the Grand Sneeze burst forth from twenty- three throats. The procession was very much gazed and wondered at, as it wended its way through the Chamber of Commerce, into the laboratory, where the secrets of wheat, flour, and the making of bread were revealed. Still an object for inspection, the crowd continued to the tlour mills, where, escorted by a gentleman clothed in white from head to foot, the girls learned the method of making Hour. lVhen they finally emerged, their appearance was ghostly. Even the tlour was attracted to them. After being carefully brushed, the would-be breadmakers wended their weary home- ward way, passing a group of laborers, one of whom was heard to remark to another, 'KA mighty pretty bunch of school teachers. ain't they, Jim ? And their hearts were glad. Csi9G'i'-D After Classes -What ? URR-Buzz-silence for three minutes, then another buzzing, and then the noise of the opening of many doors and the hum of many voices and the tramp of many feet re- sounding through the halls! By these unmistakable sounds one may know that a period is finished and we are all thanking our lucky stars that we have escaped from that class. Perhaps the bell has just saved us. On to another class, or mayhap to your doom! Vtiho knows? lf you are due in the new part of the building, my. what a scramble! Perhaps you were delayed by one of your dear teachers for some little side chat. Then a hasty exit. and a wild rush down the stairs! You think that you can run a good share of the length of the auditorium, and make up for lost time, when lo! Alas! Something is standing, stern and forbidding, and frowning on the hurrying crowd, Mr. XYebsterl XVho dares run by sucha barrier? Ah, no! XValk sedately down the aisle and up the stairs: don't murmur if someone comes bumping into you as you are endeavoring to push those lively swinging doors. Then, once out of sighti you rush madly to the top floor, where, out of breath, you are met by an official notice which your teacher quotes from Mr. XVebster, that all pupils will please be in their seats when the bell rings, and not delay on the stairs.

'lt woulfl talce a more matter of faet nature than Sunny's to resist the charms of a Clay like this, so presently Sunny founcl himself launehecl full into the heautiful lancl of clay dreams.

This was Sunny. as he hacl so often pieturerl himself, in the wilcl ancl free west. whither every hoy's clreams at some periotl wanfler. LX calico pony of 1973 wiry build supported an immense Mexican saddle. The high horn was abundantly sil- vered and the heavy stirrup guards trailed the ground. A rawhide rope looped itself in long graceful curves over the horn. The hgure which slouched in the saddle appeared to be lithe and active beneath his careless posture. A gray shirt open wide at the throat was set off by a gaudy silk bandana and the bronzed features of the cowboy were shaded by an immense sombrero. three-peaked and high. A huge revolver hung low from a cartridge belt and a XVinchester stock appeared behind one great leg strap. Tmmense, white fur shaps enveloped the nether limbs of our hero and silvered spurs jangled at his heels. As the brave and intrepid figure gazes steadily over the plains, sweeping the horizon with an eagle eye, he suddenly starts. XVhat can that red Hash mean at the brow of yon far butte. Again the sun catches the brilliant spot and this time there can be no donbt. In- dians! Our hero crouches in his saddle. His trusty mustang gathers himself under him at the pressure of a knee. In an instant they are off across the prairie, swift as the wind and tireless as the eagle. A glance over the shoulder reveals the whole war party full tilt along the crest of the butte or streaming down its sides. Their bronze skins glitter in the sun and their bright blankets stream behind them in the wind. NVith hideous war cries they are gaining on our heavily caparisoned hero foot by foot. If he can only reach the next knoll by a fair margin he can trust his good riHe to stand off the savages as long as there is a breath left in his body. Now the crack of the XYinchesters is heard and the bullets pick up little spurts of dust all about him. Lower and yet lower he bends until he is fairly lying along the neck of his foam-Hecked steed. He murmurs encouragement into the ear of the good pinto and slowly draws ahead. Up the knoll they tear and over the crest. Not a second to be lost. Sunny whips out his knife and slashes the cinches on his exhausted pony. Commanding the pinto to drop, Sunny starts to the head of the knoll and pokes his rifle before him. There they come-sixty at least! An instant's aim and the leader bites the dust. Again the good rifle speaks and another pony is riderless. A new shell jumps into place and a mustang rolls upon the ground. Damn,,' says Sunny, 'tpoor shot. Ah. that's better, as another Indian screams and falls. But still the reckless savages speed on. Now they are at the very base of the hill. Sunny's shell ejector clicks steadily and he is working the lever like a pump. His XYinchester is smoking hot. Cautiously he raises himself, the better to see as the yelling horde sweeps to the base of the knoll-and then he continues to rise. Slowly he is being hoisted up by an inexorable grip upon his right ear. Very slowly and very upright he Finally gets upon his feet and is led to the front of the room by the grim master amid the titters of the whole school. His cheeks are Haming cruelly and his eyes are swimming. '4Sumner,,' said the master, won't you stand in this corner for a short time. the sight of that open window seems to have a strange effect upon you. Your cheeks are very Hushed and your eyes very bright. while your geography, which was your only legitimate source of entertainment, lay open at the Map of Asia. Uh. if he could only sink through the tloor! If he could only die. or faint. or do some- thing to relieve the horror of the situation! Sunny's eyes blurred as they looked into the blackboard and he could feel his ears grow hotter and hotter every moment. But gradually his senses came into a sort of merciful numbness. and he stood like a clay figure, refusing to think and scarcely breathing. At last, however, the end came: as an all-wise Providence has decreed that it must: and the school was dismissed for the day. as it was Saturday and consequently a half holiday. Sunny, at the word of release, slunk into the cloak room, secured his hat. and with downcast and swollen lids hurried out of the school yard. Down the dusty road he panted until he arrived opposite a small woods directly back of his home. Into their grateful shade Sunny crept and there on the grass at the foot of a great. widespreading maple. he hid his head in his arms and wept. The shame had been so bitter. so sudden. and his sensitive, poetic nature had suffered intensely. lfor a long time after the first storm had passed, he lay with his face buried in the cool grass. going over and over the events. lfach time that he reviewed his shame he writhed, nor could he keep his mind from running back over the calamity. Suddenly something cold and wet was thrust into his ear. lle started up in alarm. and for a moment the sudden light blinded his eyes. XYhen he did get them open he saw before him, Pups, his best friend. the companion of his wanderings and sympathizer in his moods. Almost with a sob he tln'ew his arms about the doffs neck. who stood wrilffflinff all 5 Nb D over with joy at having made such an unexpected discovery. O Pupsf, he cried. youre the only friend l've got. and he lmgged him close as he lav b'tcl' against' the root of the great tree.

His purpose was too sacred and he moved back through the woods in the direction which he judged to be west. His mother came into his mind for an instant. as he descended a ravine and he became thoughtful. But only for an instant. ln a moment more he was thinking of his triumphant return, and the glow of pride and satisfaction. which he pictured upon her face. annulled any regret he might have had. So Pups and he took up their journey to the west until they came to the edge of the woods. Sunny's innards began to demand attention about this time, so he halted and took counsel with himself. He knew of a strawberry patch which lay a short distance to the right and out of sight of any house. but he hated to have to deviate from his set purpose even to obey the demands of Nature. He turned this over in his mind for some time and then recollecting that all great men have at some time or other suffered reverses of fortune and delays, he turned to the right and soon was crouching among the trailing plants. Pups ran up with ears inquisitively cocked and shoved his nose into the boy's searching hand. then finding nothing of interest he suddenly thrust his cold muzzle up into Sunny's face. as much as to say, 'ZX good joke: l knew you were just playing. and wagged his tail and rubbed his head against Sunny's blue shirt. At last a few half-ripe berries and several entirely green ones satisfied the boy that he had had at least all the berries he wanted, if not all the food, so they again started. -Xcross meadows they made their way. under the hot afternoon sun. through knee-high corn fields and along willow ,bordered brooks. As Pups was coursing ahead. nose down and tail un. a rabbit leaped from the grass and tore along the cowpath which Sunny was just then following. Pups. of course. took up the chase with avidity and they went bound- ing over a new cut meadow. straight for a barbed-wire fence. Sunny and the rabbit saw the fence at the same time. Sunny shouted and the rabbit raised his speed a notch. Pups. 1991 too engrossed to hear or see, tore along after, and as the rabbit sailed thru the second and third wires, Pups crashed into them full speed and then lay still. Sunny dashed up and threw himself beside the torn body of his friend. A frantic examination showed that Pups was stunned, not dead. It also revealed several long cuts about his face and breast. Murmuring tender nothings, Sunny carefully wiped the wounds with his pocket handkerchief. and then he hurried away to look for a stream or spring in which to bathe Pups' hurts. A few moments' search revealed a little brook sliding down between the boundaries of the fields on its course towards a marsh. Trotting back to the whimpering form of his ward, Sunny carefully lifted him in his arms and staggered towards the brook. Once there. he deposited his precious burden on the soft turf. and gently washed the injuries. Then for a long time he sat still, his head sunk on his breast. his eyes on the shaggy form of his pet. He was thinking and thinking hard. At last he raised his face. and straightened his shoulders. with the light of a great resolve dawn- ing in his eyes. He had decided. He would not go XYest: he would give up his bright hope of being a cowboy. It was a great sacrifice. he knew. but Cand he glanced again at the pathetic little figure on the grassj Pups was worth it. XVho would take care of his pet, now that he was injured and helpless. if he CSunnyl did not? He had never realized how much a part of his life Pups was. until that terrible moment at the fence, when he had thought that his pet had been snatched from him forever. Yes. he would stay here with Pups: what did the school and the teacher matter, anyway? He would rise above such petty things. Swiftly, with a warm, glad flood welling up in his heart. he stooped. and picking Pups up in his arms. stood facing the west. The sun was just setting: and as it flickered in a farewell glory over hill and meadow, it touched into a shining aureole the fair curls of the small urchin who stood on the edge of the little brook. a dog's shaggy form clasped sturdily to his breast. while on his face shone the light of the heroes of old.

Sopho- mores. and XYilliam Hodson. Senior. Haynes and Yund were entirely new to de- bate: Hodson was serving his third year on the team. and is unquestionably one of the best debaters liast ever had. The Minneapolis high schools debated only among themselves this season. although they used the question handled in the State High School Debating League: Resolved. that the United States should annex Cuba. Each team debated four times. twice on the affirmative and twice on the negative of the question. Standings for the season were determined by the number of votes of the judges secured. not by the number of debates won. Several causes combined to make our own season a somewhat difficult one: but the boys trying for the team were enthusiastic and of good ability. all profited from the expe- rience. and the outcome of our series of debates was fairly satisfactory. The team repre- senting Central High gained the votes of nine judges. and the city championship. Our own chief distinction was that in every debate we convinced at least one judge. XYe secured. in the four debates. the votes of live judges. The outlook for next season is rather encouraging. if the candidates can get to work. under proper coaching. at the very beginning of the year. Haynes and Yund will prob- ably form the nucleus of the team. although. at the close of this season. both are far from being finished. dependable debaters. XYe shall have difficulty to find for next fall a debater to take Hodson's place on the team. lt would not be htting to close even a brief account of the season without mentioning the substitutes. to whom fell a large share in the hard work. but not in the glory. They were: Herbert Piurgstahler and Sherwood Holmes. Seniors. and Morris Kantar. a Sophomore. During' the lirst month or two of the season manv other boys worked hard to help make the e . . team. - 103 - Debate HE ability to think clearly and speak intelligently before an audience is not a mere accomplishment but often times an absolute necessity. If one is capable of speaking without preparation and with natural grace. he is fortified for almost every occasion which may arise. At public gatherings, of all descriptions, in the halls of the legislature and in our national congress. men who can think and speak upon the spur of the moment are always in demand. They are the men who do things. In a nian's everyday life, in the banquet room, at the lodge. in fact. wherever men are gathered together, formal or informal speaking is sure to follow. Today, comparatively speaking, there are few men who are able to meet every situation of this kind without considerable embarrassment. There are many men in public life who regret exceedingly that the opportunity to develop the power of speech was not afforded them in their earlier education. There is an organization in East High school which offers vast possibilities to those who enter upon its work zealously. This organization has been much neglected and poorly supported by those whom it aims to reach and beneht, the East High school students. The Alpha Omega literary society accomplishes a definite purpose. It teaches one to think logically and speak systematically, to arrange facts in an interesting and convincing manner, to- overcome selfconsciousness, to speak easily without preparation. Debate is, of course, the principal feature of the program. VVhen the regular debate is over the question under discussion is thrown open to the members of the society. This is perhaps the most interesting part of the meeting and generally results in a broader and deeper insight into the subject of the debate. Thus, whether you are on the program or not. you have an opportunity to express your views before the society. Then there are live, interesting talks on current topics. which keep one informed on current events. The program closes with an extemporaneous speech by some member of the society. An extemporaneous speech is always interesting because no one knows who is to be called on, nor what subject he will be asked to discuss. Another valuable asset to the debating society is the fact that some of the instructors ir. the school lend their time and active assistance to the work. They attend the meetings. speak occasionally. and, by their example show what constitutes effective speaking and debating. The Alpha. Omega has a definite aim toward which it strives. namely. to develop in its members the power to think correctly and express those thoughts intelligently and with power. The success of its former members at the University at the present time is convincing proof as to the success of its efforts. Q The organization is not run by a few people for their own benefit. It is run. by the students for the mutual beneht of the students. All who wish to take part are sought for and welcomed. If you are timid and backward and self-conscious. you are just the person whom the society is trying to reach. lt expects your first attempt to appear before it will be a failure, your second may not be much better. but keep at it and you will reap the reward. Take advantage of every opportunity to develop yourself. Be broad, not narrow: be far-seeing, not short-sighted. Debate can help you, you can help the Alpha Omega Debating Societv. -104- The President - Vice-President Secretary - Treasurer Edward Anderson Debating Society Officers Theron Metliven Lawrence Cady Sherwood Holmes Morris Kantar Student Members Herbert Burgstahler Thorgny Carlson Walter Cooper john Corcoran Harold Cram Verne Crowl Edwin Dahlberg Allison Gable Paul Hacking Howard Hall Bernard Hanson Stanley Haynes William Hodson John Hustad Norman Johnson Leland Morgan Henry Paulson A.

ET Y G N rl li B A D 'Illi The Alpha Omega Debating Society Y XO means the least among the things which have made East Hig'h famous is the fact that it has produced so many efficient debaters. lt has always had a foremost place in debate and has twice won the District Championship. The school has furnished the University with more than its share of this kind of material. The principal causes for this condition are the spirit of the school. a few capable and willing teachers, and the enthusiasm of both teachers and students for an o1'ganization for the purpose of developing its members along debating and literary lines. Thus it came about that in 1904, with a few of the faculty and upper classmen as the moving spirits, the Alpha Omega Debating Society was organized. Harold Deering was its first p1'esident. lfollowing him came Ray Chamberlin. Earl Grinols. Haddon Ostlund and lfrank Goodman, under each of whom the society grew and fiourished. lts 1nembe1'ship had to be extended. and it has now filled again to the constitutional limit of thirty-five. The of- ficers for this year are: Theron Methven. president: Laurence Cady, vice-president: Sher- wood Holmes. secretary: and Morris Kantar. treasurer. This year. although the society started a little late. owing' to the interest taken in the school debating' team. it has made up for it by the spirit shown after it was well under way. The line of work of the society is this: Every Friday afternoon the society meets in the English library at two o'clock. First, the debate of the day, which is on some live up-to-date topic. such as the merits of the commission form of city govermnent. the direct primary for state officials. the Prohibition question, certain aspects of the tariff question, etc.. is given. There a1'e two men on a side and each speaker is given five minutes for his direct argument and three for his rebuttal. lfollowing the debate is an informal discussion of the question. du1'ing which some spi1'it is usually developed. Then comes a speech, usually on some scientific or political subject. Next. the extempo1'aneous speech is given. The program is concluded by the report of the critic, who gives valuable suggestions, pointing out to the participants along with their good points. some places wherein they may be improved. The whole program usually takes up about an hour and a half. A custom has grown up 1'ecently that adds an appropriate finish to the work of the society. lfor the last two years a banquet has been held toward the end of the season at the East Side Commercial Club rooms as a sort of 1'Cl1lllOll, many former members being present. Excellent speeches. toasts and sto1'ies help settle the dinner. The good fellowship of the members is thus promoted. Last year the society at its banquet bade farewell to Mr. XY. T. Couper. whose departure has been a distinct loss to the school and the society. lf every boy has not been personally asked to join. it is not because he is not wanted. Everyone who has the ambition to make himself a good speaker, with all the accompanying qualities that the words imply. will do well to present his name to the secretary or any member of the society for admission to membership next year. The meetings of the society do more good to the listeners and especially to those who take part than they at Hrst realize. Many a man out of school has had occasion to regret the fact that he has not received this training and experience earlier in life. To be able to think clearly and speak without em- barrassment before a crowd is truly an accomplishment worthy of the expenditure of the time necessary for its attainment: and the time when it is easiest to acqui1'e this ability is during the school period of life. The way to gain ease in speaking is by practice: and no better opportunity to secure practice and instruction is given than by joining some such society as this. Xo more profitable way to put in a little time can be found than to work a few hou1's on an argument or speech to be given befo1'e a meeting of this kind. Anyone, then, who so desires, may help the school and the society, but most of all help himself by joining and aiding this most practically beneficial of all East High organiza- tions.

UR Football Team! A clean bunch of sportsmen, not the champions 'to be sure. but every man a loyal supporter of the Cardinal! The first consideration at the opening of the football season was of securing a coach. It seemed for a while as if this momentous question would disrupt the football team. the faculty and perhaps the whole school. After much discussion. the athletic board decided to appoint Dr. Bandelin as coach of the team. A word of appreciation may well be spoken for Dr. Bandelin's work. A clean man himself, he taught the fellows a clean game. He was on the field early and lateg he put forth his best efforts toward developing a good team. The support that the team received from the student body is evidence that his work was a success. After the preliminary practice had been finished, the squad was taken out to St. Thomas Academy several times, for practice games. On the third of October the alumni of East High School decided to show the regulars how football was played in the olden days. It was old football against new. Though the school team did not play a brilliant game they managed to win by a score of eight to six. Tollefson and Morse distinguished themselves, Tollefson, by kicking two field goals, Morse, by kicking the ligament of his leg out of place. This injury kept him out of the game for the rest of the season. It was now one week before the game with lVest High School. Now, as was the case before every interscholastic game, there was weeping and gnashing of teeth. 'Tm below, wailed each member of the team. XVe're all below, they wailed in discordant unison. Solon was in the throes of 'fAddison. as taught by the English department. lt was re- ported that our mighty captain stayed up all night to study geometry. It must have been an awful shock. The idea of a football captain joining with the common rabble in study! Yund. because of his size. seemed to have the greatest difficulty getting thru with his alge- bra, and so the infection spread. 'Tis not to reason how or why the fellows managed to get three plus minuses and a double minus: some did. however. and this entitled them to play. The ninth of October was set for the slaughter of lYest. The inexperience of the players was very much in evidence. By the use of the forward pass and trick plays. East High outwitted her opponents. Tn the first half. Hllus' Tollefson scored a goal from the field. A little later Hansen blocked a kick behind lVest's goal line and recovered the ball himself, thus scoring five more points for East. Near the end of the first half, Babe Thompson received a punt on the 55 yard line and by clever dodging ran thru the entire XVest team for a touchdown. The XYest High took the ball and gradually rushed it down to East's yard line. By virtue of sheer grit and determination. XYest was prevented from scoring a touchdown. In the second half, the loss of Hustad was keenly felt. He received an injury which kept him out of the game for the rest of the season. Each team scored twice in this half. East on a forward pass to Bush and a play off tackle by Dillman. The hnal score was 26 to II in favor of East. Then came our arch enemy.-North. HXYe must beat North Highf, was the cry and beat North High we did. If ever a high school football team won a game thru courage. indomitable spirit. and thru the ability to take advantage of every situation. the East High School team did on the morning of the sixteenth of October. lt was a snappy day.-such a day as makes one's blood tingle with spirit and enthusiasm. The attendance from East was perhaps the largest in the history of the school. W'ith the band playing Hot Time and Cheer, Cheer, the team pranced on the field. As one man, the Cardinal rooters arose, and gave a tremendous cheer. This cheer was indic- -1124 ative of the support that the team was to receive thruout the game. The fellows re- sponded by playing a magnificent game of football. The game opened. Thruout the stands there was a deep tenseness of excitement. The ball zig-zagged up and down the field. Then. with the teams playing at about the center of the field. and East on the offensive, Nimmo quietly sneaked out far to the right. Quick as a flash Tollie sailed a beautiful forward pass directly into the hands of the waiting player. Down the held he madly gal- loped and across the goal line. Then what a scene! All the pent up enthusiasm from the stands seemed to break forth in one mighty effort. Hats. handkerchiefs. pennants waved furiously. Everyone was in the ecstacy of supreme happiness. XVith a grim determination. North wedged the ball over the goal line and at the end of the half. the score stood six for East and six for North. The rest is history. how Sidwell, an ex-northsider. recovered the ball on a fumble and scored the second touchdown. How North failed to kick goal following their second score, and East stood victor to the tune of eleven to twelve. 7 Strateffv had won the d'1v. To Babe Thom vson all credit is due. His Ueneralship C -5. If T 6 was perfect at all times. He never played a better game in his life. The joy of the rooters was unbounded. XVith the band leading. a crowd of a hun- dred or more marched down town proclaiming the score to every passerby. lt was a glorious victory: it was gloriously celebrated. The twenty-fourth of October was the dampest day in nineteen hundred and eight football. Duluth challenged East to a. match in aquatic sports. Swimming was the principal diversion. East had trained in the water and the crimson clay mud was too great a handicap to overcome. Duluth managed to win in the high diving and mud polo. Under antiquarian methods of scoring, East lost by a score of 2850. This does not indi- cate the closeness of the struggle. however. The suction of the mud brought the players in close contact at all times. However. Duluth must be given credit for playing a brilliant game. They had excellent team work, their tackling was good and they were, on the whole, good sportsmen. i One week later, on the goth of October, South encountered East. The fellows were not in good condition and did not get going!', Tollefson showed wonderful nerve. Though 'being injured several times he pluckily stayed in the game and scored East's only touchdown. The result was five to tive. The following Friday. Central High disposed of one more obstacle in her rush for the championship. East was defeated by a score of I7-6. Tollefson saving the honor of East Side by scoring a touchdown. The Mechanic .Xrts game on the 21st of November is what might be termed. The Shame of the East High Football Team. It was awful. The team seemed to go to pices. Spirit and team work were lacking. Mechanics had a gritty little team full of spirit and team play. They had no right to win, however. under ordinary conditions. but the result was eleven to nothing in their favor. The team has done well. The school has supported them nobly. May East High win many victories! Klay the same school spirit always characterize the student body! Not in the spirit of knockers. but as persons having the best interest of the school at heart. we make these suggestions: T I. Let every man with any athletic ability whatsoever. get out and help the squad. We must have a full second team. 2. Let every man do his best to keen above board in his studies. Not just above. for he may sink any minute. but far enough un that he may be on the safe side. 3. Let every man train and train all the time. --113- Mass Meeting, Today ELLO, old Scout, why are you studying? Don't you know there is to be a mass meeting. today, and one or two periods skipped? 'fXYl1at's that, mass meeting and two periods skipped? Say, who's going to speak ? I donlt know. XYill Hodson conducts. as usual. I heard every fellow on the team was to speak. As we enter the auditorium, fifteen lonely chairs on the platform meet our view. XVith a hearty cheer we almost raise the stage but Chester fFatj Yund saves the day by mounting the stage and holding it down for the small boys, who are to follow. In groups of twos or threes, the bashful and grinning boys walk across the stage and take their seats. Then there is a hush, a terrible silence. but it is soon broken by the patriotic strain from the band, directed by Iidward .+Xnderson: the music stops. XYilliam Hodsou. the chairman of the meeting. the blushing Coach Bandelin, the first team and the hand are the chief attractions. The chairman introduces the members of the team individually. Each one. except Babe Thompson and Mike Jalma. makes a short speech, telling how badly their team will whip the opposing team, that afternoon. Babe is introduced, he rises, but instead of coming to the front of the platform. disappears into one of the dressing rooms. Despite the arguments of two of our eminent debaters, Stanley Haynes and XYilliam I-Iodson, he refuses to speak or even be seen again. Mike Jalma is the other exception. instead of giving the customary short speech, he launches off into a long history of his football career, etc., given at about 2 :lo clip. The band a.gain plays several well known selections. The students sing 'fPoor Old Central and Hot Time, accompanied by the band. Rah East, Rah East, Rah Rah Fast. The meeting has ended. -114- Catvlwr l'it1-llvr . Fi rst Base SUl'llIld Base Tliiiwl Base Sliurt Stop Center Field liigllt Fielil l.i-ft Field Baseball The Team Uluirles H.

Only two or three games a season were played and the interest shown was only a lagging one. Last spring. however, a committee made up of Eugene Mitchell and Charles Doty of East, Steinfeld and Mclsarty of South, Kent and Ross of Central, Krough and Johnson of'North, with the help of Mr. Burrier organized a league. They arranged a schedule and presented it for approval to the school board. The schedule arranged for nine games for each school, but the board opposed this as the shortness of the season would require the playing of mid-week games. For this reason each team was allowed to play six league games and one out of town game. At East a large number of candidates tried out. There was a wealth of material to pick from and East had altogether the best team in its history. The team had little coach- ing except for the time Mr. Karge kindly spent with it. Although the team did not win all the games it should it kept Central from winning a game. South also received a beating and North should have. The team played one out of town game with Shattuck. Shattuck treated the fellows with the Hnest of courtesy and East, altho without a chaperon was on its best behavior. Don Brown. 1909 manager, banqueted the team after the season at his home. The fellows had a delightful time and elected Fred XVines captain for IQOQ. Two Fine fellows like Brown and XVines should get lots of support next season. XVith some help from the school they can land the championship for Fast. -ina Track HE track season of Nineteen Hundred Eight was not very successful. On account of the lateness of the spring, the outside work on the track was seriously hampered. Then, too, lack of enthusiasm and material discouraged those in charge. The Inter-Class meet was held at Northrop Field on the twenty-sixth of May. The juniors were the winners: second place was awarded to the Sophoniores and the Seniors finished third. The Twin City lnterscholastic Contest took place May twenty-ninth. at Northrop Field. Alcock upheld the glory of East High School by winning First place in the broad jump. One week later on the same held the Northwestern lnterscholastic track meet occurred. Dillman and Nimmo won second and third respectively in the high and low hurdles. Bright was third in the high jump and Nimmo took the third place in the broad jump. Track athletics is perhaps one of the hcst forms of high school sport. It means won- derful derelopment for the persons who train consistently. XYhj' are there so few who com- pete? VVhy is such a small amount of interest shown? -IIS- Tennis liSl'l'l'E the fact that the liast High tennis team did not carry off many honors in the Northwestern lnterscholastic Tennis Tournament at lleephaven last spring. there was much interest among the tennis enthusiasts who returned to school this year to have a fall tournament. 'liwenty fellows entered their names for hoth singles and douhles. ln the singles many hard matches were played. and most of the would-he conqucrors took defeat at the hands of Stellwagen and Chatlield, who hy their playing found themselves opposing each other in the finals. By a hard won victory, which was not so decisive as the score might indicate. Stellwagen gained the championship laurels, the score. 6-3. 6-o. 6-3. ln the doubles everything was clear sailing for Stellwagen and Chattield. who took victory as a matter of course and like all great heroes who have conquered everything in their own domain, sighed for greater worlds to conquer. Central and XYest High Schools also hail had fall tournaments and their winners were as anxious to gain new victories as were ours. lt was arranged that East and Central should each enter a team of three men for a dual tournament in singles. Stellwagen. Chatlielfl and Patterson were entered for East, against Klarienkoff. Dyste and Moorehead of Central. ,Xfter the preliminaries had heen played, Chatlield, Stellwagen and Xloorehead played each other in turn. East was vic- torious. winning four out of the six matches played. XYest High was also willing to compete and try to Drove themselves the champions. so Chatfield, Hopkins and Stellwagen for East. were eatered against Cox. Reedy and XYllllE11llS of XYest. These matches resulted in a tie. each school winning three matches. A match in doubles was played in order to decide the winner. Stellwagen and Chatlield defeated Cox and XYilliams: 6-2. 6-8, 7-5. 4-6. 6-I. XYith f'Seif Stellwagen. who has proven himself to he one of the fastest players in the city. we have a great center around which to form a winning team this spring. Dave Chattield. who played on the team last year should have no trouhle in ascending to a similar position this year. Great things are expected to happen at East this spring along the line of tennis. Many new Hstarsu are heing looked for and let us hope they will appear at exactly the time predicted and that they may shine as bright as those that already blind our eyes with their dazzling play. - no - IJ.Ch:1ttielci Thmnpmn NV. Chaiticld D Young Tillotson Jurdzm Thmupsun Chatielfi Gillinau Tollefslm f-1211-f Hockey ITH the suppression of basketball in the city high schools, another branch of athlet- ics was brought in. Hockey. though not entirely new to the school, was brought back after a couple of years absence, and got a footing that will last in the sport that is coming to the front in this climate. This year a league was formed among the high schools of the twin cities, and the scheclule was run off smoothly: but unfortunately, the lNilinneapolis teams went clown before the more experienced players of the St. Paul sevens. Hockey is a sport well suited to our long winters. lt is clean and fast. and affords the onlooker much excitement because of the possibility of a score at any minute. It requires harcl training, ancl gives all the benefits of other outcloor sports. It is to be hoped that East High will become more interestecl in this game, and that next season the echoes of our cheer will urge on a winning team. GiiDCfE9 The Team Goal . Tollefson Point .

The power of discernment is developed to a high degree. To he a good player one must he physically tit. Strong hands and sound hody are an absolute necessity. These physical attainments may he acquired after a few months of constant playing. This game teaches one to stand punishment such as father used to give with his slipper: if one is to succeed in this world he must he ahle to stand the hard knocks. This little game develops this power of endurance and pertinacity. lt also teaches one to he skilful in the art of selfcontrol, not to allow his actions to be easily detected lmy his facial expressions of glee at having outwittetl his opponent. As in all sports, the little game may he ahused. llooks and other hard materials are often used, though under the rules they are strictly lmarred. Other rules are contemplated barring tight Htting clothes and making the game open hy excluding mass play. This sport may lic indulged in hy all persons. fat people heing particularly adapted. lt is hoped in the near future to get not only faculty sanction hut actual faculty participation in the little game. --t24- A if dig V xl!! I ll 5! MEDLEY of strange and incoherent sounds arose as my companion and myself approached Nicollet Park on the afternoon of the great North vs. East game. Some newlywed in the neighborhood is being charivariedf' he exclaimed. As the ball game was more interesting to us then than a charivari we hurried in the gate. VVhat was our surprise on entering when we saw that the charivari was none other than the new East High hand of which we had heard so much in the auditorium that morning. They had been playing, so the leader proudly informed us. College Life, but as they struck up Cheer, Cheerf, Hot Timefy and Yale Boolaf' we took courage and soon found our- selves singing Poor Old North Side, and other songs with the accompaniment of the band. It was noticed, however, that every time the rooter captain called for a good, loud ho-bble, gohblef' the band would be right in the middle of a stirring march and could only be silenced after many wild gesticulations on the part of everyone nearby, Success? Of course it was a success. for it fired the loyal rooters with enthusiasm and they cheered for their team as they had never cheered before.

It consisted of four first and second violins, a Hrst and second cornet. a flute, a trombone, and a bass viol. Since that time it has added several violins, a clarionet, a snare drum and a bass drum, a French horn, and a cello. During its entire history it has been fortunate in securing excellent directors. For the first two years it was under the leadership of Mr. Rl. Guise: the next two years our own principal, Mr. lYebster, directed the orchestrag then the leadership passed to joe Grif- fith, of the class of 1907: and this year lX'Ih'. XVebster has again consented to be our director. From the beginning, there has been an unusually fine spirit in this orchestra. As a rule, high school organizations lose their enthusiasm after the first year or so, but the rule has not proved true in this case. The students have enjoyed it more and more, and their enthusiasm has increased every year. The growing desire to belong to the orchestra is shown by the fact that many students begin, in their Freshman year, to take lessons on the violin. flute, or cornet, in the hope that they may play in the orchestra before they grad- uate. This is proof indeed of popularity! Those who cannot belong to the orchestra give their support by showing a lively ap- preciation of its efforts, on all occasions. This enthusiasm would have died down long ago, had it not been for the steady encour- agement of Mr. XVebster, who has, from the beginning, been either a member of the orchestra, or its leader. It is very unusual for the principal of a school to be willing to throw himself into the student activities with such zest and pleasure: and the orchestra appreciates his inspiring leadership. In order that this organization may continue to prosper, the orchestra suggests that every Freshman or Sophomore, who can beat time and keep on the key. should immedi- ately take up some instrument, and join the ranks of this illustrious body, for the honor of the school, and the increasing glory of the East High Orchestra. -IBO- The Glee Clubs 2 1 1 9 1. ...

Secretary... ...Eda Wiley. Treasurer., ,..Eleanora Poppe. MONG the interesting societies organized in school is the German Literary society. lts purpose is to arouse greater interest in the everyday use of the language. This is one of the most important uses of the society. Xlany of the students of German have no opportunity to hear or speak it outside of the class. This opportunity is given them by being members of the society. XYhile they do not hear the German speak. yet they do hear others who are making a study of the language. and this helps to give them knowledge of the practical use of German. and at the same time greatly enlarges their vocabularies. Anyone is qualified for membership who is studying German and is interested enough to wish to join. Dues are collected each semester, but the amount is small. The only officers are president. secretary. and treasurer. any member being eligible to hold office. The pres- ident calls the meetings to order. conducts the business. and presides during the program. The other two officers perform the respective duties of all such officers. After the business of the meeting is finished a short program is rendered by the pupils, everything being in German. German songs are sung with much enthusiasm. beautiful Ger- man poems are recited. and German jokes and stories, humorous and otherwise. are told. Occasionally the point of a story is not immediately recognized under its coat of German. but we trust that most of them eventually find a resting place in the minds of their hearers. Other entertainment is also given. short dialogues. an interesting scene from a play which is being read by some class, or a debate between pupils. Meanwhile. the members not assisting in the program sit with bated breath. wonder- ing what is being said, and what bearing the last part of a story could have had on the first half. Perhaps this is lost in not knowing the meaning of one word that plays an im- portant part in the relation. XYhe'n the meeting is over the members look up that word in the dictionary. or it is hoped that they do. and tell the story to their friends. lt has been suggested that the society have its meetings after the fashion of true Germans. and serve the well-known German refreshment, but the members do not feel as if they were quite true enough Germans to indulge in that, so it is omitted. Xliith this exception, the society pat- terns after the Germans as nearly as possible. and much interest and enthusiasm is shown. NYe feel certain that this society will be kept up by the German students of years to come, and will eventually become the leading organization in the school. -137 - , -Nif' 'vp f- X ., 7? fy .ff W , fig.. 4 f if - 1 Cx 1' ,JQ - 'f-,-sms? 5 , L ' 5 ZW.

Ex X .I L ' Y lllllllii I 4 fl ffl OVII in a Toy Shop and The On-Side-Kick, with their rollicking joviality, gave way to the heavy drama of Dickens as a substance for the Senior class play of Nineteen Hundred Nine. Bright sayings, up-to-date costumes and stage setting. and modern comic opera charac- ters were supplanted by the deep. significant. subtle lines of Dickens. with quaint dress, an- cient scenic equipment and the extremely eccentric characters for which the great English novelist is famed, After much discussion and considerable dissension, Tom Pinch was chosen as the class play. It took just three weeks of the hardest. most strenuous work imaginable, to get the play in shape to produce on the twelfth of lllarch. Lines had to be memorized, team work had to be developed. costumes and stage setting had to be produced. In the midst of this hurry and rush. Miss Gerrish could always be found, urging on. suggesting and directing. Her earnest and zealous effort helped greatly in the success of the production, and the Senior class is surely indebted much to her enthusiastic directing. After manv trials and misgivings. the eventful night arrived. The play proceeded with- out serious mishap, save that NYill Kuelm on one occasion did not get out of the way of the curtain and received a hard jolt from the massive curtain-pole. VVithout a doubt the hardest role in the play was that of Pecksniff, which Arthur Gir- ven filled admirably. Tom Pinch, as played by Herbert Burgstahler was a masterpiece of acting. for one totally inexperienced. The plav was a success in every way and it might be well to add that if the spectators enjoyed the performance one hundredth part as much as the performers. the play was a success in the extreme. -139- .ar 1' yr -QW.: M 1 Y LA In A SS I1 C I I IU N 5 gl. .

Friday evening, November sixth. The bare walls of the hall were greatly transformed by the number of brightly colored pennants. which represented the different schools with which the boys had played. The young ladies were greatly outnumbered by the munber of bashful. but brave foot- ball boys. who preferred their own company to that of the charming- young ladies present. The only star football dancers of the evening were .lack Yinimo. lloward l'atterson. lirling llansen and Dr. llandelin. This gay young party was chaperoned by Xlr. and Klrs. llendleton and Xlr. liarffe himself. N Cs:EiDCfiSD Junior Parties of the '09 Class lilili you all at the hlunior parties that were given last year by the nineteen hundred and nine class? lliell, if you weren't you have really missed all the fun of liast High School life. The first party was given November twenty-seventh in Xobles old hall. The hall was very prettily decorated in the class colors. gold and white. After the Social Committee had used all the gold they could lind. they had to resort to yellow crepe paper. but it served the purpose very well. The walls were hung with the class pennants. which were very care- fully made by the girls on the Social Committee. while the boys walked around whistling and trying to loolq busy. at the same time. The chaperons were Mr. Cook and Miss Harris. The next party was a Voinsetta party. which was given lfebruary twenty-eighth. in the same hall. A great many wall-pockets filled with large bunches of Poinsettas were hung around in every little corner. the lights were trimmed to represent ljoinsettas. The programs -142- 1 were white. with a large Poinsetta painted on the cover. This. also. was done by the girls on the Social Committee. There was a girl's Poinsetta favor dance, which caused all the boys to look their prettiest. In fact. everything was carried out in Poinsetta fashion. even to the girls wearing Poinsettas on their slippers. The chaperons were. Mrs. Carpenter, Miss Thomas and Mr. lfyans. These parties were a great success. as is everything that the nineteen hundred nine class undertakes. Cii:9DC' 5'D The Junior - Senior I-lli 'lunior Class of '09 gave the Reception according to custom, in honor of the Seniors May 21. 1908. at the Masonic Temple. The large ballroom was decorated with the 'lunior colors. gold and white, and the stage was hung with school banners. The steps leading up to the stage, where the musicians sat, were covered with palms. In the recep- tion room. red prevailed. A receiving line consisting of the girls of the social committee greeted the guests. The program of eighteen numbers was commenced by the Grand March. led by Genevieve Griffith and Day Prindle. The patronesses were: Mrs. llcbster. Mrs. Carpenter. Mrs. Couper, Mrs. Pendleton. Mrs. Nachtrieb. Mrs, Hill. Mrs. Trask, Mrs. Clritlith. C? 5DGE5D Hli first class party of the Senior class was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Martin on Friday evening, -Xpril 16. The arrival of the participants began at the hour of eight and the steady stream continued until a vast throng in round numbers, sixty-live, had arrived. Chaperones present were, Mr. and Mrs. Pendleton. Mr. Cook and Miss Dana. -Xu- other faculty friend was the recipient of an invitation but his legislative yearnings had conquered his social instincts. hence his absence. The first number on the progratn was the distribution of voluminous autograph al- bums. in the class colors. in which books. each member registered his cognomen peculiarly and personally significant of his individual life. Next in order came the matching of part- ners. which proved to be but a preliminary to the millinery business. One of the most amus- ing features of this procedure was the scene of the many mated and mismated couples, who had for their haven. the conveniently secluded stairway. XYhen the C1'CZ1tlU1lS produced by the various artists had been duly presented and the prize had been awarded to Miss Luella Hussey and Mr. Arthur Girven. it was noticed that preparations were quietly being made for the climax of the evening-namely the refresh- ments. This trying ordeal having been undergone, the Highland tling was gracefully exe- cuted by a few of the young ladies present. assisted and led by our spirited informant of English essentials. Miss Margaret Nachtrieb had kindly consented to conduct a singing class and magnihcently were her efforts rewarded. lYith sad countenances and voices expressive of their heartrending grief at departure, the assemblage at last broke up and returned to their respective homes loudly bewailing the necessity of separation. but secure in the conviction. that another social gathering would unite them closer, in the bond of nineteen hundred nine. -143- ww.

XYhen we think of men who have achieved success and fame, whether as financiers, as soldiers, or as statesmen. how small the number of those who have not been optimistsl The banner under which the world has advanced. the banner that is leading the world to its greatest achievements, is blazoned with this one word, optimism. Firm trust in right and the God of righteousness em- boldened three million of scattered colonists to dare the power of proud and oppressive Eng- land. Could the men at Valley Forge ever have endured the suffering, the ptrivation of that terrible siege. had not hope for ultimate victory steeled their nerves and strengthened their hearts? Lincoln-could he have piloted the nation through those perilous times had he yielded to bitter discouragement whenever reverses came to him? XYithout hope for a better day. success would never have come, the glorious success that crowned him the mightiest hero of the age. Enthusiasm, life. energy-what obstacles can they not overcome? There is a story of an English crusader. Gilbert Beckett by name. who was once captured and kept in coniinement by a Saracen prince. The love of his master's daughter was won by the captive: when Beck- ett escaped and returned to his native land. the girl determined to follow him. She knew but two Ifnglish words. the one 'fl.ondon. the other Ciilbert. Did she despond? Not for an instant. By speaking the one word London she made her way to the great city where Beckett lived. Now, however, her difficulties were barely begun. From street to street she wandered. calling 'iGilbert. Gilbert wherever she went. She came at last to the street where her lover had his mansion. and again she spoke the word on which her hope depended. .X crowd was attracted and Beckett, looking out of his window. recognized the girl. lt was but a moment till the Saracen princess and her lfnglish lover were united once more. A vic- tory. indeed-a triumph of courageous. unconquerable hope, The optimist it is who accomplishes things,-not a builder of air castles. not a chaser of rainbows. but a person who is active. who beats down every obstacle. who goes in to suc- ceed. The world today has no reserved seat for the man who. with his hands folded, waits for the easy money, who is continually hoping for something to turn up. Better for him, far better, to get right down to work and raise turnips rather than to wait for turnsups. The optimist with the grit and the nerve. who has energy and the wget-there in him-he is the wiimer, one of the great class that contributes the driving power to this American nation. Have we this type of the optimist today? is asked. Are not such persons the kind that we know only in history, men to speak of with awe. to be thought of as only characteristic --146- of the struggles of past ages? Look about you for a moment. Think of the fight against corruption-of the work of such men as Folk of Missouri, or Gov. Hughes of New York. Think of the Arctic explorers, men who dare to go where no man ever was before. Think of the missionaries, old style heroes, ready to exile themselves for the good of humanity, ready even to die that man may be saved. Think of men such as these and then say if you dare that heroism is extinct. Heroes? There are sitting beside you, those living and breath- ing at this very moment. the great host of unnamed heroes, whose lives are ever on the altar of sacrifice. whose deeds will be recorded, not in history, but on an unfading page that tells the story of divinest heroism. Never in the history of the American people have we had better reasons to hope for a glowing future. In spite of political scandals prevalent in our country today. clean politics is gaining a firm hold, and victories for pure government are showing on every side. No longer does the grafter dare to boast of his methods. and the time is coming, though the struggle may be hard, when the forces of corruption shall suffer a lasting defeat, and the cause of clean government shall stand upon a firm foundation. Another reason for a bright view of the future is the improvement in the industrial sit- uation. No longer is a child seen doing a man's work, wasting life away, when that life is just begun. Now one finds him in the school. on the playground, in the country, enjoying every advantage a child should have to prepare himself for a sturdy citizenship. No longer do we find the workingman slaving from dawn till late at night. forced to accept conditions as he finds them. The laborer today is independent, a man who can stand up for his rights. He is not a beast of burden to be driven here and there at the word of his master. He's a man. as good a man as ever walked the earth, a man whose power is felt throughout the land. The golden age a thing of the past! Maybe so: but there are many things more valuable than gold. XYhether the golden age is past or not. there is a time approaching that will sur- pass any age the world has seen. Men are beginning to realize the equality of all. to know that one man is as good as another. No more are the laboring classes fanatics, with a blind hatred for wealth and power. Seldom do the leaders of industry look at the workingmen as something entirely out of their lives. A time is near when men shall live together in peace and happiness. without violence. without war. without bloodshed. The vast armies of the nations shall be defeated. not by strength of arms. but shall retreat before the advance of peace. and each man shall become a soldier in the ranks of industry. The mighty arma- ments of death shall scatter from the seas as the clouds flee before the west wind. and gray old ocean shall be decked by the full white sails of an international commerce. Not war, not enmity. but arbitration and justice shall be the watchword of the new era. The get-to- gether idea-you hear it every day-typilies the noble spirit of the times. a spirit which ap-- proaches that of the Golden Rule. Then let us pray that come it may. As come it will for a' that. That sense and worth. o'er a' the earth. May bear the gree. and a' that. For a' that. and a' that. Tt's coming yet. for a' that. That man to man. the warld o'er. Shall brothers be for a' that. -147-Y Graduation Exercises jjunr IBi1ri5iun Qllass nf IEIUH East High School Minneapolis June eleventh, nineteen hundred and nine Eight fifteen o'clock p. m.
