M. MERRITT Trustee Trustee C. H. YOUNG Secretary Pasre Seven SUPERINTENDENTS ADDRESS HE chances or opportunities that exist for young people are many. In pioneer days few vocations were necessary, but as the country was cleared and railroads and other industries developed, more and more lines of endeavor appeared until now one needs only to prepare for his choice of work and if he is made of the right kind of material there is surely a place for him. Opportunity demands fitness and the time to fit yourself for life work is in youth. You are young only once. You perhaps do not realize it now but as time goes on. you will comprehend it more and more. Youth is the natural time to prepare to assume responsibilities, which if you amount to anything, you will have to shoulder in later life. Those that are farseeing enough and follow the advice of older people who have made good will not be disappointed later. Youth is the habit forming period of life. Your later life will be fashioned to a large extent by the habits you form now. Habits are but ways of thinking and acting, which by repetition become more or less automatic. We are creatures of habit. A single experiment will illustrate this fact. Notice which arm is thrust firstly into the sleeve of a coal when you put it on. Now try putting the other arm in first. It will seem very awkward. You have formed a habit. Youth is the time when your whole physical being is plastic and easily shaped. As you grow older the bones become harder and more brittle, and therefore harder to change. Consequently, youth is the lime to mould your life into proper channels. I he house you live in which is not built w ith hammer and saw may be undesirable. As some one puts it, “Principles are the foundation stones. Habits are pillars. Every thought drives a nail. Every act girds or weakens a beam. Every high resolve lends beauty and every ignoble deed defaces or mars it. The whole structure stands forth at last built of passions as worthless as wood, hay or stubble, or a building of thoughts and purposes more precious than gold or flashing gems.” Good health habits should be learned early. Cleanliness, good diet, regular exercise and sleep are essential to the welfare of you if you are to obtain the greatest good out of life. A house will not stand on a quicksand foundation and ill health is analygous to the poor foundation. Coaches of football, basket ball and baseball of our colleges and universities insist upon strict training rules so that the men on the teams may have clear minds and be in the best physical condition possible to meet their adversaries. If a man is found dissipating or violating the training rules laid down, thereby impairing the possibilities of doing his best for the team he is im- mediately barred from playing. In other words it has been found out that the person whose physical endurance has been impaired is terribly handicapped and his body cannot respond to the activities of the mind. If it is good for an athletic team to have regular and clean habits, it is surely good for those who are not as strong or athletic by nature as those able to represent their schools. It is a time of choice of classmates and associates. Both are important. A pal may make or break you. A good pal is an asset, a poor one cannot but influence you and may become a very dear liability to you. Many are the heartaches of mothers because their boys and girls are associating with bad chums. You cannot keep Patfe Eitfht apples sound in contact with rotten ones. Neither can you associate with people of bad habits and remain uninfluenced. You must choose whether or not you will go on to school. You should go because this is the natural stage to acquire facts which will be of use to you in later life. Few ever go on to school who do not go while young. The demands of civilization are constantly increasing, having increased tenfold in the past half century. The field of knowledge has broadened enormously and the training required to fit one for a worthy place in whatever work he undertakes has increased correspondingly. Also, the opportunities to acquire the preparation have kept pace. A college or university education is within the reach of every capable student regardless of the financial condition of his parents. It is also an opportunity to prepare for service. We were not put on the earth for ourselves alone, but to help others, and thus leave the world better than when we found it. There is much need for all the talent available, to solve the problems con- fronting us. During the war the flu germ killed ten times as many people as perished on the battlefields of Furope. If medical science could behead this little microbe it would save more lives than a peace pact. At the present time prohibition is in jeopardy. Men and women of big minds are needed to save the eighteenth amend- ment. The World War is over but such a plight as the world is in. All Furope is in chaos and confasion, fresh wars threatening on every hand and many countries facing bankruptcy because of financial burdens due to militarism. What a chance for Amer- ican leadership to create a new morality and do away with militarism and its evils. “Master of human destinies am I; Fame, love, and fortune on my footsteps wait, Cities and fields 1 walk; I penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and, passing by Hovel, and mart, and palace, soon or late I knock unbidden once at every gate! If sleeping, wake—if feasting, rise before I turn away. It is the hour of fate. And they who follow me reach every state Mortals desire, “and conquer every foe Save death; but those who doubt or hesitate. Condemned to failure, penury, and woe. Seek me in vain and uselessly implore; - I answer not, and I return no more.” P. J. DUNN. Patre Nine Pnrrc Ten Pa re Eleven THE FACULTY ISABELLE CHAPMAN Commercial MILDRED SQUIRE Fifth urn!

Its colors are unsoiled, pure and free. At Kau Claire High School where we dwell, Maroon and White is known full well. It brings back the memory of years ago, When we were considered green and low. What pictures, oh, classmates, come to your mind When you retire from your daily grind. Of initiations, parties and sprees galore, When we entered, as Freshmen, the High School door Almost four years we abided here. The end we do not see; yet it is near. Picking up knowledge here and there, A thing to us so precious, yet so rare; Altho’ the path was rugged and long. Strewn with thorns and deprived of song. We trudged it bravely with ambitions high. And achievements encouraged for another try. We are now about to leave this school To conquer the world and try to rule. To show what we have learned here, Under the supervision of our teachers, dear. Mr. Balfour, we chose for our class chaperon, He supplied us with work including fun. Sure enough, here is Emma, busy as a bee, She will undoubtedly get the Master’s Degree. No better name could be given to Delight. Who is so full of pep and prepared to fight. Oh! you know Hilda, she’s so graceful and tall. She’ll show you how to handle a basket ball. As you read about the “Halls of Political Fame,” There you will certainly see Clark’s name. If the books of science, perhaps you scan. You’ll find Moody, our “Electrician Man.” Florence is so very modest and shy, Gladys is always good for another try. They will endeavor to show what they can do, To uphold the standards of colors so true. So wave on banner forever and aye, That we may all stand up and say, “We stand beneath thy folds, brave and right, Loyal defenders of Maroon and White.” F.

Pai e Seventeen CLASS POEM Between the fall and the spring time, From nineteen-eighteen to nineteen-twenty-three, A host of events in school life Came drifting back to me. How treasured the days when as Freshmen, With fear we trembled each day, Thinking that every tomorrow Brought initiation our way. But Hilda so staunch and trustworthy Took charge of our class meetings all. This gave us new strength and courage To return with the very next fall. When in trouble we each went to Emma For we knew that she surely was right. And after a few hints on the way she would do We would start again with all our might. Next Donald, our “Wee One,” took Hilda’s place. And at every meeting he would stand in front of the desk and give us his views Like a ruler of some foreign land. Now Delight tells us just when the meeting is called With the business we have to transact. She stands some apart from the rest of our group When it comes to stating pure facts. Of Holland, well there is lots to be said. In science and art he excels. A cartoon to him is an hour of play, But of science, we’ll leave him to tell. Next Florence comes forth to demand her share Of this poem describing our class. She is always on hand any time of the day. Especially when a good joke will pass. Now out of the seven I’m left all alone, But I suppose I must take my part. 1 shall see that this part is not very great And count myself a «mall mark. Well, now' you have our Senior class, The talents of every one. It is my duty to describe them all And be careful no one shun. Of our chaperon, Mr. Balfour, I’ll tell A talent belonging to him. The most outstanding one, seems to me Are the stories he tells with such vim. But please don’t forget that we’re serious, too, Even though sometimes we like fun. If I’m not mistaken you’ll all hear again Of some wonder which our class has done. G.

Still some folks think I'm wasting ink. But you know that's a lie. So if you smile, its worth my while To write of Eau Claire High. Well, you all know, two years ago We were as green as grass; But none today a word can say Against that Freshman class. For we got through like Freshies do When it came time to pass. Another year of work and cheer. But not so large a band; We shed no tears, we had no fears, We asked no helping hand; With brightest looks and stacks of books We stood as Sophomores grand. I’ll say no more of years before; We'll have to let them pass. I guess like me you will agree This is a jumbled mass. So now I’ll try to tell you why I love our Junior class. I always fall for basket ball; Our Juniors can’t be beat; You know our team is all the cream. They won’t take a back seat; So let us drink a bottle of ink, And give them all a treat. A word I’ll say about our play, The best was ever seen; We’ll knock them dead with Home Came Ted,” Altho’ at plays we’re green; They’ll want to pay thousands a day To put us on the screen. Our Mr. Dunn is full of fun. You see it in his eyes; But if you're bad, he'll make you sad. So don’t you get too wise; Our Juniors know they found it so. He gave them a surprise. And Balfour, too. with stories new. He always makes you smile; In basket ball, he is our all And makes the game worth while; He gives us pep, to make a ''rep.” And beat them all a mile. Our dear Miss Voigt, she’s busy right, And works hard all the day; She’s very firm and makes us learn When we would rather play; Dear Miss Hewitt goes right to it When history has its sway. There’s one more Miss I cannot miss. That’s our dear chaperon; Dear Miss Chapman, she’s a bad one. Don’t let her catch you spoon; For if you do, that day you’ll rue. And very, very soon. Well, now I’m done, I hear some one Begin to yawn and sigh; But I’m a fool about our school, I really don’t know why; I’ll say good-night, turn out the light, And dream of Eau Claire High. S.

Our class colors, which were blue ami gold, were chosen in the fall. Our officers were entertainers of the best. Algebra, English and other studies gave us no rest. Some took four subjects; carried one and dragged three. Few dropped out and the rest fought on for victory. Our Sophomore year we started with the same colors on high, Tho’ only twenty-six of us to our books did pry. For our vice-president we chose Russell Thumm. president Viva Shell. Because they are no slackers but do their duties well. For secretary. Natalie Preston, and treasurer. Kenneth Gray, Because they from meetings did never stray. Now we are going smoothly along that bright rocky road. Our Geometry is by no means a light load. We are doing fairly well with our other studies. Tho the Ancient History names make our tongues muddy. With English and Bookkeeping we are getting along fine. Though we are stuck in the mire some of the time. Now with our duties we are getting along fine, Altho two more of our classmates have left our line. Our parties were not neglected at all. But we were denied SUCH parties again that fall. We are waiting impatiently for the dawn of day When instead of Sophomores, we shall be Juniors gay. —C. CM ’25. Paice Twenty-two last will and testament of the CLASS OF ’23 E, the class of ’23 feeling that our stay in this Eau Claire High School is drawing to an end and wishing to dispose of all our possessions in a manner, doing justice to our heirs, hereby draw up this legal document as our last will and testament. knowing that where there is a will, there will always he contestants. Irving by all means to prove the irresponsibility of the departed, we, as a measure of protection for our loving heirs have each under gone the test under an expert who will swear in any language as to our perfect sanity. However, in every division there is sure to be dissatisfaction, we beg those fortunate individuals whom we deem worthy of becoming our heirs, to accept their legacies in good spirits, knowing that we leave to them that which we considered they justly- deserved or needed. First, unto the school we leave our vacant seats in the rear of the assembly hall, with a suggestion, that they he used by some one equally deserving. Secondly, unto our highly esteemed faculty we leave all playthings collected during study hours or during class time.

To Mr. Dunn we leave the right to proceed in the “Canning,” business. Delight Morrow leaves all her studious and brilliant habits to her immediate pre- decessor, Louis Brule. To our “Louie the Lawyer” (Louis Coats) we bequeath all our knowledge to he used in behalf of his first client. To “Porky” Birkholm we leave a “Shell” but “Porky” must refrain from becoming loo “Hard.” We bestow upon Roland Laberdy and Burton Richards the opportunity ot becom- ing famous stars on next years basket ball team.

Pasre Twenty-three EAU CLAIRE HIGH SCHOOL PARODY Still sits the High School by the road, A magnificent building erected; Behind it still the peach trees grow Of the choicest varieties selected. Within, the teac hers’ desks are seen Distinctly of modern construction, The newly floor, the adjustable seats. The library of splendid collection. The pictures hanging on the walls, Portrays an intelligent chooser. I he assembly with it’s ambitious crew, Has never been the loser. The classrooms are equipped well, The gym is very spacious. Within it s walls, victories were won, Never ferocious, but very gracious. Four years ago a winter sun, Shone on a raging fire. It completely ruined the old school house, To be replaced by our heart’s desire. It touched the hearts of many a child And eyes were full of grieving, W hen they saw the destruction of the fire. And knew the school was leaving. Still memory to a Senior Class, That old school house is showing. Thi s new school which is on her grave Has for the three years been growing. We saw the High School furnished well, I hanks to the noble taxpayers. They’ll soon have a marvelous story to tell. For they were the foundation lavers. We lived to learn in Eau Claire High How few schools passed above her, Rejoicing in her triumphs and her gains, Because you see we love her. So long may she stand in her glory. That occasionally during the future. We can stand up as her loyal defenders And say, “She was once our tutor.” F. ’23 Twenty-four Top Row:—Victor Kerstetter, Francis Shell.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 26 N THE morning of September 5, 1922, twenty-five bashful Freshmen entered the Eau Claire High School. Oh! Did we slink through the doors in fear of the boisterous Soph? No! We started right in like old hands at the game. Of course the matter of organizing was quite new to us, but we were informed that we should do so to elect our class officers. So we chose Mary Abbs as president, Russell Tidey as vice president, Gail Bowers as secretary and Eldon Bowman as treasurer. For our colors we chose lavender and gold. The pansy was chosen as the class flower and Miss Hewitt as class chaperon. We furnished much amusement for the other classes when we forgot to go to class, and some of us even went to the wrong classroom and did many other things that all “Freshies” will do. Five of our Freshman boys entered the basket ball world, but since they are Fresh- men. they have not gained prominence, but prospects for their future are good. Miss Voigt has been frequently annoyed by the outbursts of our class comedian. ‘Pete” Birkholm, and at the same time trying to teach us “Freshies” how to twist our tongues with the terms used in Latin. Then, too, our principal, Mr. Balfour, and our superintendent, Mr. Dunn, were at times discouraged trying to pound Algebraic terms into our heads. Last but not least, jolly Miss Chapman makes special efforts to convey to us the art of solving problems by a much more advanced method than had been our custom in the grades. We are looking forward to high hopes and great accomplishments which will be proven to have been possible, when the class of 1926 graciously accepts their well deserved “Sheepskins of Certification.” M. A’26. Pajre Twenty-seven SUCCESS THROUGH VISION „ASSMATES and Friends: Have you ever been to a place in life where you were forced to admit the inadequacy of mere words to express the deepest sentiments of your soul? Was it not then that your hearts filled with emotion, your tongues faltered, and you for the first time, perhaps, realized the true meaning of Tennyson s words, when he said, ‘7 would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me. It is with such a feeling of awe, that I now, in behalf of the class of 192.1, attempt to extend to you the words of welcome. We, as a class, take this opportunity to tell you that we are glad that you came to see us take our first step from the threshold of school life into life’s school. Now we are to begin a new life far different in content and environment than the one we have just left behind. For the first time, we, the class of ’2d, will separate to tread alone on our own individual pathways. Our fathers, mothers and teachers will no longer in the same way kindly advise and have an influencial check upon our attempts. We will have to make our decisions alone. We are ready to bud forth into a manhood or womanhood that we can make better or worse. But, since we are taking our first step into this new life, let us pause to think beyond the path of present day things. For today really makes the man of tomorrow. It is now time for us to form a vision of the man or woman that we wish to become in the future. For if we have a vision of something that i worth while, we will strive toward an end that will bring us a reward. This may be the iast time that we will meet as a class. All of us have our dreams of the future. All our years slant upward. Before us life stretches out as a vast untried adventure. Success is yet to come. Dreams of the future will encourage us to take up our journey hopefully. But, the most desired object of our future life is success. In order to obtain success, each one of us must become a man or woman that will fit his work without saying those things that make enemies instead of bringing friends. It is now for the first time, that we want to know and acquire the ideal characteristics that make a man. To be a man we must be able to think and act quic kly, while those around us are losing their self-control and blaming us for it. In short, we should learn to think twice before we speak. Also, we must trust ourselves. How far would we get in this world if we should lose confidence in our very selves? We must put trust in ourselves, so that others may be confident to put their faith in us. Along with trust, we must have honesty. Oh, that we may never do those small dishonest things that always later lead to the doing of large things in a dishonored way! Each one of us have our dreams, as I have said before. We have these dreams, so that we can endure the discouraging present day things. But, it is also our duty to make these dreams worth while. Do not dream of something that is of immaterial worth. We have no reason to believe that in our mind there can never grow some image, that may result in a beautiful tower, a useful book, a great newspaper, or some service to man. We should not deny ourselves this chance to grow and create. The most fertile orchard will grow nothing but weeds, unless the seeds of fruitful things are planted and cultivated there. This is the planting time in our life. This is the Vane Twenty-oitfht lime when we should create and develop visions, that will be of service to the world at large. Columbus had his dream of a new world. Consequently his success will live tor ever, because it was not desired for his own gratification. His dream was worth while. Hut on the other hand, Napoleon who dreamed of a world empire and obtained it, had to meet his Waterloo, because he did not work for the service of humanity, but only for the gratification of his own selfish ambition. Moreover, we must be able to meet our failures without giving up. We should strive to make our failures the stepping stones to success, for it is necessary that we experience both. If all life were success and no failure, we could not. and would not, appreciate the feeling of knowing, that we had done something really worth while. If we fail once, twice, or even three times, let us not think that we are hopeless, but on the contrary, let us try again, and remember that it can he done. Always after failure comes success. However, when we meet with success, we should he able to take it without boasting or developing egotism, for all pride some- times, is sure to have a fall. Another requisite for success is to be able to mingle with the rich and poor alike. In the organization of society every one finds some above him in station, and some below. The elect soul knows how to conduct himself toward his superiors, so as to preserve his own self-respect; and toward his inferiors, so as not to break down their’s. Lastly, besides having enough pride and not too much, we must work. For success depends on the kind of work we do. Each day we should begin to enter upon our duties with a new vigor; and with the knowledge that there is a lot to be done, but we do not have to do it all today. The higher the task, and the more dufficult. delicate, and important the matter, the more necessarry it is to attack it in the spirit of a day’s work at a time. Above all this, let us keep our friends. It is a great deal easier to make friends than to keep them. If we have acquired a friend, it is important not to lose him. One sure method of losing friends is to strive to improve them. Do all your uplifting with your enemies, and take for friends those who suit you just as they are. But now, within less than two hours we reach the place, where we have to go forth as individuals. It is the end of our high school life. An epoch in our lives closes. As we reach it, let us, with a prayer for this vision on our lips, see that it is the first end, rather than the last- -the Commencement of our real life. Therefore let us throw away sorrow and be glad and grateful for the larger opportunities of activity, which now open their doors to us for the first time. Again I—and yet, not I, but the class of 1923 speaking through me— repeat the words of welcome to you; and we, too, likewise ask that you be willing to welcome us into your life, a life which we now enter for the first time, and that you help us gain that vision, which in the end, will lead us towrard the desired object of our lives, success. I). W., ’23 Page Twenty-nine Pa ?e Thirty AU REVOIR IORE than one hundred sons and daughters, endowed by bountiful provi- dence and trained by a thoughtful foster mother, have gone forth from this high school into the world to labor for their own and humanity‘s well being. Likewise we, the class of ’23, too, have completed our voyage through high school life and launch forth on the sea of real life to join the masses and to serve humanity. This voyage of real life may be through many deep and unknown channels with many windings and turnings. As we meditate upon this fact, it seems a long course to follow, for as we row through the rough and calm waters, we may often be tempted to let our canoes drift whithersoever they may. What a comparison!—A high school graduate entering upon the sea of real life to the launching of a ship upon the ocean. The ship in order to cope with the mighty waves of the roaring ocean is always and must be, built of the best and strongest material. Similarly, we graduates, ought to have molded our characters so strongly and firmly that we, too, may be able to cast aside all temptations to founder and brave an unknown sea of a future life. “For humanity with all it’s fears of future years is hanging breathlessly on our fate.” But, in order to gain this pure, noble, and spotless character which the world of today so much needs, we must choose a noble ideal, which we must strive to attain. No doubt these years which we have spent within these walls have fostered and placed higher ideals before our minds. The ideal, which is ours to strive for, is above our reach, but the efforts which we put forth in striving to attain this model of perfection shall not only make us a better person, but also promote the joy and welfare of our fellow men. As we look ove r the varieties of character, we discover that some are the result of physical conditions. The man who is morbid and melancholy, always looks at the gloomy side of life, and thus fails to have the right spirit with which to attain his ideal. On the other hand, the man who looks at the bright side, brightens even the dark side, and casts a beam of sunshine over other’s paths. Even if a disaster occurs, he is glad that it is no worse. For is it not true that the more hammering a piece of iron receives the more useful it becomes? Likewise the more difficulties that we encounter as we go forth into the world’s broad field of battle, shall make us the more nobler men and women. Therefore. Classmates, let us not pause but climb ever onward and upward though the rocks be rugged at our feet; and when we have reached the summit, we shall be able to look down and see how the very jaggedness of the rocks have been of assistance to us. We shall only by such means grow slowly into the rose of perfect character. I.iet us seek to have our minds filled with kindness, which shall be flowing while life is ebbing, instead of constantly advising and scolding our friends. This leads me to the only true ideal found in literature. The knights, the flowers of men, took an oath in which they swore to reverence Christ, redress human wrongs, speak nor listen to no slander, honor their word, live a pure life and love one lady. May I ask you to pause for a moment and gaze upon this ideal, in the form of Sir Galihad which hangs there upon the wall? What a beautiful character Tennyson portrayed for us, when he said, “My strength is as the strength of ten. because my lieart is pure.” Is there any reason why any individual, not only of this class but of all the classes past and those to come, cannot have such a monument, expressed about his or her character? This could be accomplished, if we would only strive for a higher plane in life. So, let us choose for our ideal, the man or woman we wish to become, and try to express such a character as this in our every day life. Without sUch an ideal we can never be the noble citizen which our country demands. Perhaps I can make you Pajre Thirty-one feel the extreme urgency of this demand best by quoting this prayer of James G. Holland. “God give us men, a time like this demands Great hearts, strong minds, true faith and ready hands: Men whom the lust of office cannot kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and will; Men who love honor; men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue. And brave his treacherous flatteries without winking; Tall men, sunburnt, who live above the fog. In public duty, and in private thinking; For while the rabble, with its thumb worn creeds. Its large professions, and its little deeds. Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps. Wrong rules the land and waiting Justice sleeps.” The masters of every art of the world and in every moment of time, have been mastered by a noble ideal. They stemmed the current, tunnelled the mountains, and spoke around the earth, while others were mere driftwood moving wi� h the current. Do not these words prove that the wrorld is coming to believe in the ideal of service? It is worth while to give our time, our money, our efforts, and ourselves to the service of humanity. Thus, will our lives become purposeful moving in their orbits under the guidance of the stars. Classmates, let 11s strive to mold our characters so firmly, that we may be able to cope with all the difficulties which await us. Let us not take a human person for an ideal, but one of those painted in literature. My purpose is to influence you to always stand up so strongly for the standards of knighthood, namely, reverence for God, courtesy, kindness, purity, sympathy and service that you may radiate the same influence in the circles in which you move as does the little pebble which is thoughtlessly thrown into the water. Before taking our departure we, the class of ’23, wish to express our thanks to the Financiers and the Founders of this institution for the many advantages which we have enjoyed here. We sincerely hope and trust that the standards of our school will never be lowered, but that the past and future graduates of Eau Claire High School may always have occasion to proudly say, “We graduated from Eau Claire.” To our instructors of the present and the past we also extend our sincere thanks for the interest which they have taken in our welfare. Often, our thoughts shall travel back to them and we shall realize how many times they have helped guide us aright. Schoolmates and friends, we, too, must say farewell. It is not with joy alone that we bid adieu to our High School life, but with sorrow intermingled, since we shall never pass this way again. The time has come when we and all our dear friends must part. As a parting message. Classmates, I leave with you these words: Let us strive only to attain such noble heights, as will bring pride to our school, our parents and the people of this community, so that they may see that their money and efforts were not spent in vain. For now our boats glide out between The rocks that guard the shore. Bearing the Class of ’23 To be a class no more. But looking forward with a smile Of courage, strong and high. To meet in that glad Afterwhile, No more to say “Good-bye.” -E. L., '23. Pajre Thirty-two CLASS PROPHECY Los Angeles, Lalif., June 1. 1940. EAR FRIENDS: At last I have safely reached my destination and my journey has been most scenical and eventful. I am going to relate to you all the incidents as they have occurred, as briefly as I possibly can as you all know I am a very poor correspondent, yet. I will do my utmost to make this epistle interesting. The day of my departure was calm, mild, and spring-like. The sky was of an azure hue, while the earth was clothed in garments of green. The birds were twitter- ing their farewell to me. In short it was an ideal day for traveling, and I was not the only one who thought so. For to my great disappointment I found that the train was going to be crowded. While I was meditating what resources would he to my advantage, I was accosted by an acquaintance of mine. She informed me that she was going to Alton City, which was about one-half of the distance to Los Angeles. You know I am always fond of companions, so I decided to accompany her. Conse- quently the time passed quickly and pleasantly, and before we realized it, it was time for us to part. After her departure I had nothing with which to occupy my time, so I settled down as leisurely and comfortably as I could, and devoted my time to watching the exceed- ingly beautiful scenery. This lovely landscape, with its thick carpet of velvety green gras , was broken here and there by gigantic trees. The orchards and shrubberies were all worth while observing. The creeks and rivers with their silver sparkling waves were nothing compared to the maddening cascades or cataracts with their sweeping white foam and their thunderous almost deafening roar. Those were scenes not easily to be forgotten. I felt a sickening sensation when I saw what appeared to be a cloud just above the horizon, for I dreaded a storm at such a time and place. I soon noticed that all the eyes were riveted on the windows, and I heard exclamations of admiration on both sides. Yes, the Rocky Mountains were visible and could be plainly seen. The rugged, majestic snow covered peaks, sparkled and glistened like diamonds, whenever the sun’s rays came in contact with their frosted layers. You cannot imagine how picturesque the scene appeared. All the passengers were unconsciously craning their necks for a better view. I soon became so interested in their natural beauty that I became oblivious to everything else about me, until a quick jerk caused me to reel around suddenly to find a youngster, not more than three and a half years of age. hanging for his dear life onto my coat, to keep himself from falling. “Hello, sonny, w'hat is the matter?” I asked. “I has nearly failed,” replied the youngster. “What is your name?” was my next question. “Milken Thoily,” he answered. Then with a bashful look he ran away. Observing that a little boy about five years old stood watching me, and since he had such an intelligent look upon his face I beckoned him to come to me. He ad- vanced rather reluctantly and with a doubtful look. I asked him who the little boy was to whom I had been speaking and he replied. “It’s my brother, Milton, and I am Jack Doily.” He told me all this with his eyes on my pocket. This was very peculiar, and it looked suspicious. I also directed my glance in that direction. The candy was the cause of it all. I offered him some. While Jack was munching the candy, his younger brother came shyly toward us. with his head turned down, his eyes cast up, his right thumb in his mouth and his left hand extended for some candy. But his brother had none to give him for he hastily devoured his share. I offered Milton the remainder, if he would speak to me. He complied readily with my wishes. Patfe Thirty-three While I was thus entertaining myself, 1 was unaware of the approach of a lady, until she with a very kind voice asked if her children were a nuisance. Her voice sounded so familiar that I glanced up suddenly and noticed that her face was radiant with smiles, for it was no other than Gladys Momany, my old classmate. The unex- pected surprise drove me speechless and in that moment Gladys persuaded me to visit at her home. In the meantime 1 told her how 1 had raised a herd of pure bred Guernseys and how' successful 1 had been at managing my farm. At the depot her husband met us with their Cadillac. I know you will he glad to hear that they have the best farm in Sherillv county. Their house and barns are of modern construction, and their equipments of the latest inventions. Mr. Doily is an intelligent young farmer. He is a graduate of M. A. C. 1 bet you are craving for an introduction, but wait patiently, an opportunity may soon present itself. While I was admiring some of their modern equipment Gladys asked me if 1 knew where the remainder of our class had dispersed. After assuring her that 1 knew practically nothing about the whereabouts of our class, she remarked, I know of one.” My curiosity was greater than words. 1 immediately asked, who? She replied. ■‘Emma Laberdy is now a professor at the Chicago University, and they are going to promote her to a still higher and more meritorious position. This was certainly very good news, and 1 became determined to search for the remainder of our class, beyond all hazards. Evidently we were so occupied that we did not notice the entrance of a Pierce Arrow, nor did we see the man until he stood before us. elegantly dressed, and a smile on his good natured face. Whom do you suppose it was? Rolland Moody. Of all the created human beings, he was the last 1 expected to see. He informed us that he had recently moved into York City, which was in that vicinity. He had established a large electrical plant of great value, and it was proving to be very successful. Through him we found out that Hilda DeWitt is a stenographer at Washington, I). C. Oh! can you imagine it? It’s beyond realization. Since it was getting late, I left them with many promises to write. Taking the evening train, I arrived at Los Angeles in the morning. My appetite got the best of me. I became determined to stop at the first restaur- ant that came into sight, which happened to be a very popular and also an excellent one. After satisfying my hunger, I thought I would go directly to my friends. Rut destiny had a greater surprise in store for me than I anticipated. For just at that moment a stylish young lady appeared, out of an inner room. As she turned to leave the restaurant 1 caught a glimpse of her facial features, and what was my astonish- ment when I found it was Delight Morrow, or I had better say Mrs. Delight Stradford. I might as well tell you that she is the owner of the restaurant and also a leading society woman of Los «Angeles. She took me to her home, which was very luxuriously furnished. In the mean- time I related to her the whole adventure of the previous day. Her face was lighted up with extraordinary rapture, as she listened without interrupting me. “1 can supply the missing one,” she ejaculated. I sat speechless, as she gracefully went to another room and immediately returned carrying a picture of Donald Clark. “Where do you suppose he is?” she inquired. Before I could frame an answer, her next question was: “What do you suppose his profession is?” As I shook my head negatively to both questions, she remarked: Don is now Governor of Wyoming.” That certainly accounts for his being so intelligent in Civic’s class. After speaking of other things too numerous to mention, we parted. One day about two weeks after my arrival. Delight came down to see me. It was then that she related the interesting news concerning all of our Senior teachers. Pajre Thirty-four This was brought about in the following way: A week previous. Delight had to hurry to the bedside of a dear dying friend of hers, who lived in Illinois. She reached Chicago on Sunday. She was in a great hurry to arrive at her friend's home, so she hailed a taxi. The chauffeur was no other than Mr. P. J. Dunn, who was driving an auto just for pastime. Yes, he intended to teach school again in the fall. Do you know that he is still saying, “The first one hundred years are the worst.” Delight arrived too late at her friend’s home. (living all the consolation to the bereaved that she could, she started for Eau Claire. The South Ashland car that she had taken was crowded. When the car started she was thrown outrageously into the arms of a man, who accepted his burden with an emphatic exclamation of surprise. When Delight recovered her composure, she found it was no other than Mr. A. H. Balfour, who had already vacated his chair for her to it down. He soon became acquainted with the events already mentioned. Oh. yes, I have nearly forgotten to mention that Mr. Balfour is still single. I suppose its because he does not want to disappoint many hv merely pleasing one No he is not teaching school any more. 1 believe its because there is not any othei class like ours. He is at present looking for a housekeeper. I can assure you that your assistance in this quest will be greatly appreciated. How Delight knew of Miss Voigt’s whereabouts I do not know. But what I do know is this: Miss Voigt married one of Nature’s Noblemen. She always admired and liked that kind. While Delight was regarding with admiration the development of Eau Claire, she accidently ran across Miss Hewitt, or Mrs.—Oh, I have forgotten her name now— wheeling a baby carriage, which was by no means empty. Miss Chapman bad gone to the Eastern part of U. S. Some think that she had «one in the wrong direction. But we had better leave it to her. She knows what’s right. Mv stationery supply, including my events, is now exhausted, so I will close. But before I do so I want to say that, although some of our class preferred the prefix of Mrs. instead of the Miss we are all immensely happy, especially, when we know where our whole group is stationed. I hope I have included all the information you wanted, and I also hope we may •mm meet. Yours in fun. FLORENCE ROSENBERG.

The first team won fourteen of the seventeen games played, winning all games on the home floor. The second team was suc- cessful in winning eleven of the fourteen games played. Our victories were due to constant practicing and to team work which was displayed throughout the season. Drennen Tatman was high scorer for the first team having fifty-three foul goals and sixty-seven field goals, making a total of one hundred and eighty-seven points to his credit. Harland Hoadley came second with forty-two field goals and Vernor Dudley third with thirty-nine field goals. Charles Burns was high scorer for the second team, safely locating the hoop for twenty-six field goals and eighteen foul goals, making a total of seventy points to his credit. The team spirit was splendid and the individual effort could be counted on to the limit of endurance. INDIVIDUAL RECORDS I’lavers Position Games Tech. Fouls Pers.

OUR BOOKS L sine magno vita labore dedit mortalibus. I his the librarians of 22 and 23 decided before they had held the honored position of a Librarian in Eau Claire High School very long. Every one expected a snap job; namely, taking out, or replacing books. But in a short time Miss Voigt, the supervisor of this division, informed them that they must learn the Library Code. This was finally accomplished with some difficulty, and then began the never ending task of keeping the magazines in neat order. This seemed hardest of all, since the students were always back there arranging them to suit their own individual fancy. Some were very artistic in this respect. Next came Miss Voigt’s task of keeping sufficient Librarians to run things. At the beginning of the year Kuth Clark. Donald Clark, Mildred Shindeldecker, Lucy Kirk, Helen Hand, Forrest Merritt. Holland Moody and Donald McCoy reported for duty. Donald McCoy soon tired of it, and Mary Abbs took his place. Then Mildred Shindeldecker left us, and Natalie Preston was chosen for that place. That con- stitutes most of Miss Voigt’s troubles along that line. But she had “some’ time trying to keep track of the noted “Library Primer’ which always disappeared about the time for Library meeting. I his involved a doubly hard lesson for the next meeting. But, nevertheless, we continued our work until the end of the year, when some of us resigned to begin a new life, and others only for a vacation: each and every one of us having learned that. “Life gives nothing to mortals without great labor not even a Library Credit.

There are evi- dences that the objects sought are being attained, due to the fact that more attention is being paid to the appearance of students before audiences. This is being accom- plished in most schools by means of literary societies, debates, orations, declamations, dialogues, and various other methods. The curricula of schools are continually offer- ing courses in oratory, declamations, and other forms of public speaking. The membership of the association has steadily grown until it now includes more than 57 per cent of the high schools of the state, and these among the best. All pupils below the eleventh grade are eligible to participate in the Declamatory Contest while students in all grades of the high school may take part in the Oratorical Contest. Any student in order to be eligible must be doing satisfactory work in his high school subjects. However, all orations must be original that is, the pupil's own work. In order to carry out these contests the state is divided into five districts and each of these in turn into three or four sub-districts. Each of these districts is composed of nearly an equal number of schools. By a contest held not later than the first Friday in March each school selects its contestants to meet the contestants from other schools of the sub-district in a contest which is held not later than the first week in April. Each sub-district selects its representatives in oratory and declamation to compete for the district honors in a contest held not later than the last Friday in April. The winners in the district con- gests compete in a final state contest. Anv high school of Michigan or any secondary school may become a member of this association. At the Declamatory Contest which was held February 25 at the high school audi- torium the following students participated: Alvin La Plant, Mary Abbs and Natalie Preston. This was merely friendly rivalry and much praise is due each student. Alvin La Plant, whose subject was “The Prince of Peace,’’ was chosen to represent our school at the Sub-district Contest. Mary Abbs and Natalie Preston delivered their subjects which were as follows: “A Plea for Cuba and “The Minute Man, very effectively. The above contest showed that the participants had spent much time and effort in preparing for the above event. Our representative to the Oratorical Contest which will he held in the near future is Emily Shemiot, a member of the Junior Class. The title of her oration is “Our Dreams of Tomorrow.” The above students have done well «here and we are confident that they will do justice to our school in a satisfactory and honorable manner at the Sub-district Contest.

There was no Merritt in Hasting as Mich-ael always tells you as he drives his Hudson car. I started down the Forest path which leads to the Kirk. where the Fern and Hollie grow.

I reached my Hand into the water to get Jess- wcin. and a clam pinched my Thumm as he Seel ed his Shell. 1 passed on a little farther and on the top- most branch of a, tree sat a Mary Brown thrush. He was a dear Tidey little thing amid the sweetest of Bowers. As 1 paused to look at it Ben-son canto upon me. He told me that he had seen a Bowman down the road who hail a Peachey Wolf which he had killed. We decided to go on and seek more adventures. We next came to a house. We went to the door ami Prest-on the button. Is Mrs. Birk-ltolm? we inquired.
