TRUE BLUE 12 Chas. E. Seiler of Racine told us of the “Rubber Industry of Mexico and Central America.” Miss Amy Chapman, who resigned her position in the Hudson schools at Christmas time, was married on Feb. 22, to Mr. Ben. R. Spalding of Rush River. Mr. Hennessey called a meeting of the Junior class recently and handed them many beautiful compliments (?) A visitor to the High School building, between the hours of four and six P. M., is apt to be alarmed by loud voices, yells and shrieks coming from various rooms. There is no need for alarm. It is only the orators and debaters getting ready for the coming contests. A little puppy visited the Physical Geography class and caused a great sensation among the Sophomores. Studious Harry Dailey, anxious not to lose a moment from his dearly loved books, climbed the Are escape one noon and was admitted to the assembly room by a kind, but reckless Freshman. Spectators, a few momemts later, saw Harry slowly and cautiously feeling his way down the same icey fire-escape. Too bad the teachers don’t ap- preciate your industry, Harry. Unfortunately the tube with which Mr. Evans was about to ex- periment had no bottom, and Edwin received the contents instead. The eighth grade pupils have organized a Literary Society. Margaret Crary, ’08 has been on the sick list for several weeks. We understand that Leslie bought a beautiful penny valentine for his girl, but, by mistake, sent it to Mr. Hennessey. Did you get the envelopes mixed, Leslie? CALENDAR FOR JANUARY. Jan. 9 Rob discovers that some of the wicked can’t stand in slippery places. Jan. 10. Basket Ball girls plan a dance. Jan. 11.

TRUE BLUE 11 The Juniors had their annual sleigh ride to Stillwater, Saturday, Jan. 21, and report the time of their life. The-anticipated refresh- ments consisted of sliced wind, fried air and raw atmosphere. Mr. Evans is inventing an electric hair-cutter for the benefit of Carl Johnson and Clifford Dailey. Ida complains that her face is always burning and blames it to the nearness of her hair. Advice: “Take Pale Pills for Pink People.” Did you notice how Cassius scratched his head in the quarrel scene? Miss W. “On which side of the paper does Miss Fulton require you to write your names?” Elmer O: “Outside” Mr. Evans (in Com. Geog.) “For example, in Iowa we raise hogs and make butter.’, And the class laughed. (We wonder why.) Among Selmas’ New Year’s resolutions: “Resolved, that here- after I will not stick out my tongue at anyone.” L. G., the heavy-weight champion of the Freshmen class, took a seat on the floor on her first visit to the laboratory. The “Sophomore Social Six” has been holding numerous class meetings after school recently. ‘‘Moonlight rides in the High School” will soon be in order, we suppose. The Theory and Art class spent an enjoyable morning on Feb. 17, visiting the four primary departments of the city schools. Most of the boys decided that they should like to become primary teachers. Nature intended George Kircher for that work. One of the Senior boys says that of all seasons he prefers the Fall. Miss Victress Bowers has resigned her position in the eighth grade, to engage in lower grade work. Miss Kenyon, formeriy prin- cipal of the Minnehaha school at Minneapolis, takes her place. Will Bradley put his geometry examination paper in the True Blue box. We are sorry that lack of space prevents our publishing it, Will. Do not be disappointed. The High School has had the pleasure of listening to two excel- lent talks during the past month. Prof. J. F. Sims, of River Falls, favored us with a timely address on “Student’s Habits,” and Mr.

A few slight charges are made in the names on the “Program.” Jan. 31. Which are the cause of another discourse. Subject: “Protoplasm. The majority of our exchanges are exceedingly interesting and a taste of one creatas a desire for more, so please come punctually. “The Cambridge Review,” Cambridge, Mass., is one of the best papers that we have received. “The Orange and Black,” Spokane, Washington, is full of inter- esting stories. The cover on the January number of the “Comus,” Zanesville, is very artistic. The exchange column of the “Dragon,” Greenfield, Ohio, is a credit to the paper.
