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.

Notice on blackboard, Tuesday evening, Jan. 26: “True Blue will be out tonight.” True Blue ought to know better than to be out nights during the week. It should attend opening services occasion- ally and learn what it is expected to do. The Sophomore Social Six seeking to see the sights in the suburbs by the soft shine of the silvery moon, gave a swell sleigh ride over the smooth slippery snow, which was somewhat scanty in spots. Say, do you suppose the tailor (Taylor) made those pants alone? Conundrum: If there are 56,000 square miles in the state of Wis- consin, how many yards of cloth in Deane’s bloomers? The class in Fourth year Literature has finished the study of English literature, and is now7 wrestling with “Burke’s Conciliation.” “A man may smile and smile And be a villain still.”—Shakespeare. No doubt, the famous dramatist had Bill Bradley in mind w’hen he wrote the above. Mr. II. (in Theory and Art) ant country of all.” “Ireland!” shouted the class. “You’ve left out the most import-
