() TKUK BLUE The ball hovered around the home goal, when Edith and Nita got it and by magnificant team work carried it near the Scarlet goal. Edith had the ball. “Shoot it, shoot it,” yelled the rooters, but poor Edith’s tired nerves had given out. “O, I can't! I can’t!” she sobbed, and mechanically passed the ball to Nita. Nita, fully aroused, by a mighty effort sent the ball toward the bas- ket. It hovered on the rim an instant and dropped in. The time keeper’s whistle sounded and the game was ended. The score was six to five in favor of the Scarlet, and Nita, the Sub, had proven herself worthy of the team. The two teams left the hall, to the chant of the Scarlet rooters— “O, Here’s to Scarlet’s victory Drink her down! O, Here’s to Scarlet’s victory Drink her down, down, down!” OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES. One of the teachers of second grade in the Hudson schools recent- ly wrote on the blackboard the question: “How can we have a happy school?” The pupils were to write answers. The following are exact copies of some of the answers received from the eight year olds: 1. We can make a happy school by having the desks clean and the floors clean and have our hair combed. We can make a school happy by being still and be clean ourself. We can make a school happy by not being late or sick.—Gertie Yackel. 2. By making a happy school. The way to make one is to kepe clean and never hit anybody hard. Kepe the floor clean.—Helen Lumley. 3. How can we make a happy school ? By do not wisper. Do not play with your rolers. Do as your teacher ses. Work hard.—Olive Omdahl. 4. We can make a happy school by not whispering and keeping desks clean, do your work nice and neat. Keep the floor clean, have our hair combed, our face washed and study hard—have our school room nice and keep our feet on the floor.—Laura Haugen.

8 TRUE BLUE presented this year. Each member acquitted himself very creditably and the morning was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The entire eighth grade was present, also Rev. Snodgrass, Rev. Ferguson and several other visitors. The “Male Double Quintette” made a decided hit with their “Where Is My Little Dog Gone.” Miss White, Miss Bower and Mr. Ferguson acted as judges on the debate, which was decided in favor of the affirmative. The negative made a better presentation of their side, while the affirmative presented the better points. Dudley told very realistically of his experiences on “The Pike,” Frank con- vinced his hearers that athletics are of value, Fred’s review of Julius Caesar was clear and comprehensive, and John, in his school paper, made “slams” on all sides with impartiality. “Cassius” and ’Brutus” quarreled as if they really meant it. At the conclusion of the pro- gram Rev. Ferguson sang a solo, “Heidelberg,” which was greatly appreciated by all. The program was as follows: Piano Solo—John Lake. Experiences at the World’s Fair—Dudley Stockwell. Athletics—Frank Lake. Debate: “Resolved, that the United States was not justified in not helping France in her war with England just after ihe Revolu- tion.” Affirmative, John Skogmo, Carl Peterson. Negative, Will Hayes and Robert Roe. School Paper—John O’Keefe. Review of “Julius Caesar”—Fred Ferlein. Quarrel Scene from “Julius Caesar.” Cassius—John Lake. Brutus—George Kircher. Extract from Sophomore English paper: “It is during the Nov- ember that heavy fogs arc found on the ground-” Good boy! Keep it up. You’ll get your walking papers sometime,—but not in 1907. Found in True Rlue box, type writen notice: “Dear Sir: You are hereby notified to get your hair cut within three days after receiving this notice.” As the editress cannot be addressed as “Dear Sir.” she is at a loss to know for whom this is intended. Prof. A. W. Tressler of the University of Wisconsin, inspected the High School, Jan. 26.
