Of poetry pure and simple, imaginative and sublime, there is no master who has left us more; of humor there is no master who has left us as much of so high a quality and so deep an insight; of women as of men there is no poet who has created so many so surely endowed with everlasting life. All that can be known of manhood, of womanhood, and of childhood, he knew better than any other man ever born. It is not only the crowning glory of England, it is the crowning glory of mankind, that such a man should ever have been born as William Shakespeare. Algernon Charles Swinburne. � Fr«m Art oil p� urt. ShaKesp€are Birthplace Volney G. Barnes Principal of the Madison High School R. B.

Frances I’nrjp Sixty-Thrre Page Sixty-Four ally ujeiatt freeman Sally Susan Wallace entered the house with a bright light dancing in her gray eyer. Alexander Ogelthorp Abbott, the most popular youth in the senior class, had escorted her home, and Sally Susan was only a freshman. Mother”, she called, as she rushed through the hall. “Mother, please may I lengthen my new Peter 1 horn, and do up my hair? Then, as her mother, somewhat bewildered, inquired the cause for such a transformation, she continued. Please, Polly said it was a most unusual thing for Alec to pay attention to a freshman, and I d better act as dignified and grown up as I can.” Sally Susan! ejaculated her mother. What are you thinking of?” And then, as she saw the brightness fade from her daughter's countenance, she went on. Why, Sally Susan. I want one little girl, with Lucy and Nellie grown up!” With a bound Sally Susan was at her mother's side. “Why, Mothery Wallace, of course I’ll be a little girl, but you can’t expect a fourteen year old freshman to act like a two year old.” Of course not. dear. We’ll see what can be done. Now run along. There’s a letter for you. and, from certain rumors, I believe it is an invitation.” Sally turned to the hall table and picked up a long narrow missive. Oh! she exclaimed, “It’s an invitation to a masquerade at Smith’s next Saturday. Reddy Perkins is to be my partner. Won’t that be fun? Saturday's the big party at school, though, and I expect Alexander will ask me to go. Hm. “Reddy will be disappointed if you don't go, was her mother’s reply. ” The last time he was here he said he wished you would find more time to be with your old friends. Bother Reddy! Why. he’s only a sophomore.” Just then the telephone rang and when Mrs. Wallace joined her daughter after answer- Paye Sixty-Six ing it, she said, The Grays are dining with Lucy, and she wants father and me to come, too. Why not have one of the girls here with you? Sister Nellie will be busy with her lessons. Oh my, no!! cried Sally Susan. “Why, Alexander is going to call on me for the first time tonight, and I wouldn’t want any of the girls here then.” Hardly.” said her mother with an odd smile playing around the corners of her mouth. By the way, Reddy told me to tell you there is fine coasting on Parker’s Hill, and he is going to try his new bob tonight.” I’ll phone him right away, mother, responded Sally Susan, stepping to the telephone. To her surprise, when she told her old comrade that a senior was going to call on her that evening he merely gave a low chuckle and said. Some other time then. Somehow she was sorry Reddy cared so little to have her try his new bob. Oh, well, she was grown up now and couldn’t play with such a youngster. It was much more exciting to have a senior caller. Directly after dinner Sally Susan hurried to her room. When old Martha, the maid, passed down the hall a little later. Sally Susan called to her. Land sakes alive. Miss Sally! Why for you puttin’ up your hair? demanded the woman. Sally Susan had indeed changed. Her heavy braid no longer hung down her back; it was wound around her head, and the big hair-ribbon had disappeared. Don’t you like it, Martha? Be sure and be very polite when you bring in the gentleman who is going to call tonight, Sally Susan nervously concluded. Soon after, the door bell rang and old Martha ushered Sally Susan’s first gentleman caller into the living room. A moment later Sally Susan descended the stairs. She felt queer and uncomfortable, and did not know exactly what to say. If Alexander perceived the change in the little freshman, he said nothing, but entered upon an interesting talc. At first it was great fun listening to him; then Sally decided she must say something. It would never do to let him do all the talking,—but what did one say? I hen suddenly, out in the yard, some one started singing. Call me up some rainy afternoon , an old song, and presently several other voices joined in. The color mounted to Sally Susan’s forehead. She recognized Reddy’s voice out there. Mean old things. she thought; think they’re smart. Wait till I give Reddy Perkins a piece of my mind.” And then, because she could think of nothing to say, she chose the loudest band piece she could find and played it on the Victrola. She could hear Nellie rustling her papers in the next room. If only she would come in, or if only something would happen. The singing out of doors had ceased, but Alexander did not go on with his interrupted story. In fact, he seemed positively bored. Sally Susan fidgeted. In the hall the grandfather’s clock struck the half hour. If only mother’d come, or Nellie'd call me, she thought. Oh how uncomfortable it is to have all these hair pins sticking into my head. I’ve got to say something. What will Alec think? I’m a regular baby. And Polly said Alexander didn’t run home at nine, and it’s only half past eight! After a pause which seemed to cover hours. Sally Susan heard her mother’s voice. Page Sixty-Seven Oh. how glad she was for an interruption! In a moment Mr. and Mrs. Wallace entered the living room and Sally Susan, painfully aware of the mischievous twinkle in her father's eyes, introduced Mr. Abbott to her parents. Alexander stammered something about learning a chemistry lesson and hurriedly left the house. When Sally Susan reentered the room, after escorting him to the door, she half expected a teasing remark from her father, but he only smiled. The next morning when Sally Susan arrived at school she sought out her friend Polly Jefferson, a senior, and told her about Alexander’s visit, omitting the tale of the serenade. Polly was telling some girls about her new dress for the party. At noon, as the two girls went to the cafeteria. Alexander overtook them. Now,” thought Sally Susan, what will I do if he asks me to go to the party? Sally was the first to find a place at a small table for two. Just then Alexander came up. and while the freshman was hoping that he wouldn’t sit opposite her, Polly slipped into the empty chair. With the events of last evening fresh in her mind. Sally walked back to school with Polly, for fear she might encounter Alexander. The fear increased as she heard the senior girl say that Alec had asked no one to go with him, and she wondered who would be his partner. That evening as she entered the homeward-bound car, Sally Susan hastily looked around to see if Alexander was there. To her great relief he wasn’t. All the way home she wondered who would be Reddy's partner at the masquerade and fervently hoped it would be she. When she reached home, she listened carefully for the telephone. She remembered that Alexander was on the decorating committee which had had a meeting, so he wouldn’t get home till about dinner time. While the Wallace family were at dinner, Sally Susan was called to the telephone. Father and mother exchanged amused glances, and Nellie inquired if it were the wonderful Mr. Alexander Orgelthorp Abbott. With her heart somewhere up in her throat Sally Susan said. Hello , and then, far more cheerfully. Oh, it’s you. Polly. How wonderful! I know you’ll have a fine time. Goodbye. It was Polly, and she’s going to the party at school with Alexander, she told her family as she took her place. She managed to gulp down part of her desert, but she soon excused herself and fled to her room. For a long time she lay there in the dark thinking how foolish she had been. What will the others think of me?” she sobbed. I wouldn’t go coasting with them, and 1 made a fool of myself and—and—O dear”, and she buried her hot flushed face deeper in her pillow. I never want to sec another senior, and I’ll never, never, never, have any more fun! Just as she thought she could no longer bear it. her mother came in and stroked the moist hair from her forehead as she listened to Sally’s talc. Things didn’t seem so black when Mrs. Wallace sympathetically listened to them, and after they had had a long talk. Sally Susan went to bed greatly comforted, and a little wiser. Page Sixty-Eight The next evening as she left the intcrurban and walked homeward she heard a familiar whistle. In a moment Reddy was beside her. “Say. Sally.” he said, “will you go coasting tonight? I want to try the new bob. Say. what’ll we wear to the masquerade?’’ Oh!” exclaimed Sally Susan, didn’t you go out last night? Naw; who’d there be to go? Take your books in and we’ll go skating till dinner time. was the reply. And Sally Susan, freshman, felt that she was just gay old Sally again, ready for any prank in which an underclassman might take part. Oh! what a relief it was! Anna Laura Gebhardt. Another 17trto ’’I is evening, and the round red sun sinks slowly in the west; 1 he flowers fold their petals up. the birds fly to the nest. The crickets chirrup in the grass, the bats flit to and fro. And tinkle-tankle up the lane the lowing cattle go. The rich man from his carriage looks out on them as they come— On them and on the barefoot boy that drives the cattle home. The rich man murmurs to himself: “Would I give all my wealth. To change my lot with yonder boy? Not if I know myself. Over the grass that’s full of ants and chill with dew to go With a stone bruise upon either heel and a splinter in my toe! Oh, I’d rather sail my yacht a year across the ocean’s foam Than be one day the barefoot boy that drives the cattle home. Phyllis Haines. Page Sixty-Sine i5o Sign of tt)c four It has always been my aspiration to become, some day, a great detective like the fabled Sherlock Holmes. As is customary among youngsters, I spend a good deal of my time building castles in air, and in these I have figured out my future activities and even some of my possible conquests. I have heard that advertising pays, so in hopes of influencing you to patronize me in my future profession, I write the following episode as an example of my ability. It was a dark and stormy night. The clock had just struck twelve. I was comfortably seated in my roomy foreign office at the South Pole. Like my predecessor. Holmes, I was fond of a certain musical instrument which I could play with as great skill as he could play his violin. My musical hobby was the phonograph which occupied me on this particular evening, as I sat thoughtfully sucking the long stem of—an “all day sucker.” Over in one corner of the room was my aid-de camp. Dr. Wilson, seated on a ferocious looking seal skin. He was engaged in polishing our detective apparatus, two double-barreled shotguns, and the two tin stars we had received as a special inducement to undertake our first lessons in the study of criminology. Suddenly our wireless telephone rang. Reluctantly I sauntered over to it and took down the receiver. Not waiting for any salutation, a harsh, excited masculine voice cried out. No sign of my four! Help! 23 Gunpowder Street. Pekin;” and up went his receiver. News indeed! A thrill of excitement ran up and down my back as I thought that perhaps, by some fortunate chance. I had got into a real blood and thunder case. Good! A whole quartet had disappeared, and our informer had the harsh masculine voice of a tall, thickset Jesse James wearing a black mustache! Here was a chance to distinguish myself. Besides, business is money, so I called to Dr. Wilson to prepare our apparatus for a little journey up the Pacific. So well trained was he, that in less than a minute he had everything in perfect readiness. We then strapped on our hord seven-league boots and were off. Vagr Kri-rnty Twenty-three Gunpowder Street was an old, gloomy looking Chinese structure standing near a grove of bamboo trees. Fearing I might have to describe the scenery in my diary account of this exploit, I wasted no time gazing at the landscape, but, grasping one of Wilson’s shotguns, I cautiously approached the entrance of this mysterious abode. Dr. Wilson followed carrying the rest of our apparatus and the locomotive footwear, which we had removed upon our arrival. Just as we were about to mount the steps leading to the door, a harsh voice, the one I had heard in the phone, bade us stand. So startled was Wilson by this unexpected challenge that he discharged both barrels of his shotgun in the direction of the voice. With a cry of pain and rage, a small wiry man leaped upon my companion and threw him to the ground. In spite of the heroic blood of my ancestors, I could not resist trying to run away, but I was fortunately overtaken by my companion’s assailant who pulled me back. Seizing my friend and me by the collars, he dragged us both into the house. Once within the light of the drawing-room, the attitude of our captor changed. He regarded my features with a look of surprise, and. after making sure of my identity by comparing me with a photograph in a Chinese newspaper, he humbly begged my pardon for his rough treatment, although he still seemed to bear ill will toward the brave Dr. Wilson. He then proceeded to lay before me the cause for my summoning, which was something like this: He had missed his train for Chop-Chop, a neighboring town which he had planned to visit that night on business. He therefore returned to his home where, only a few hours before, he had left his wife and their three children. Ringing the doorbell had brought no response, so he had tried the door. This, queerly enough, was unlocked, but somebody seemed to be holding it. Putting all his strength into a powerful shove, he overpowered his seeming antagonist and the door flew open. A terrible crash, like the firing of a blunderbuss, followed; but receiving no hurt, he had picked his way through the upset furniture strewn about the rooms by his crafty enemy, and made a dash up the stairs to rescue his wife and children. Arriving in the bedrooms of the several members of the family, he had found the beds empty with no sign of their former occupants. After a hurried and fruitless search through the whole house, he had decided to summon me to his aid. having heard of my great reputation as a detective. The first problem that confronted me. was to find some signs of the missing four. Only two possibilities presented themselves: either they were in this house, or they were not in the house. With the former possibility in mind, I asked permission to look through the house, which request, of course, was granted. Arming myself with one of our trusty shotguns, I proceeded to investigate. I first looked through the bedrooms of the children, but—no child was there! Next. I proceeded to the chamber of the mistress. Here, as in the other rooms, I looked into the closet, under the carpet, into the drawers of the bureau, out of the window, and into all the other nooks and corners where concealment seemed probable or even possible. Finally. I came to the most dangerous part of my investigation of the room—to look under the bed! Being a careful man. averse to personal risks, I put my finger on both the triggers of my “duck destroyer” and made ferocious pokes with it under the bed. Page Seventy-One Great Scott, what a frightfully loud chorus of cries greeted my onslaught! The cries so startled me that, without knowing it, I pulled both the triggers of my shotgun! But the gods be thanked, I had the gun which my gracious aid-de-camp. Dr. Wilson, had already on a similar inspiration so unconsciously discharged. As I sank terrorstricken to the floor, the missing four, the housewife and her three little ones, emerged quickly from under the bed and made a rush for the door, only to run into the arms of their husband and father, who had rushed up to the room at the cries of his loved ones. I will not dwell on the happy scene which followed because similar ones are too often pictured in the “movies to be interesting. I will, however, aid the curious to solve their own questions by giving them the light the housewife threw on the mystery. When the husband left, she was naturally very anxious to lock up the house. Unfortunately, she could not find the key to the front door, so she barricaded the door with furniture and retired. She and her children had suddenly been awakened in the middle of the night by the crash of falling furniture. The children had run to their mother for protection, and she, with her keen woman’s instinct, had concealed both her children and herself under the bed. The sound of approaching footsteps had made the whole four swoon with fear from which they were only revived by my fortunate inspiration of the shotgun method. Thus was the mystery of “No Sign of the Four cleared up by genius. Let me add as a special solicitation for your patronage, that equal attention will be given you when mystery surrounds you, if you will but resort to S. Q. and his resourceful aid-de camp. Dr. Wilson, of the Gumshu Detective Agency. Sverre Quisling ’16. I’aye Seventy-Two |)igl) gtljool feptrtt Hark to me. you students. Pupils of Madison High. I am the High School spirit.

Harold Gill, 16. 91 Brsirablc Companion Jack slumped dejectedly into the Andrews home, flung his coat and cap absent-mindedly on the hall-tree, and coming into the living room after a curt “Hello, Mother”, sank heavily into the nearest chair. Why, what has happened. Jack? inquired Mrs. Andrews, for never before had he acted in this way. On the contrary, she was often at her wit’s end trying to curb his high spirits. No response from Jack. Tell me what the matter is. insisted his mother. Page Seventy-Three “Well, mother, I guess if you had worked as hard to win that contest as I, and then not got any place, you’d be blue too. I don't care; there is no use in my trying anything anyway. I’ll never be anything, he grumbled, dolefully looking into the fire. There now. Jack, never mind, said Mrs. Andrews. I am sure you tried hard enough; and I shall be just as proud of you. she consoled, smoothing his hair. As if this attempt to comfort only irritated, he stood up with a jerk, saying, Now, mother, you know you don’t mean that. I tell you I’m nothing to be proud of, and never will be. With that he left, to brood oxer his misfortune in his own room. On the stairs he met Aunt Helen. They exchanged greetings, a very hearty one on her part because Jack had always been her favorite nephew. But Jack, although he adored this pretty girlish aunt, just now could not be pleasant, even to her. He would have passed on. but she placed a detaining hand on his arm and said. V ou look troubled. Jackey. Is it the reading contest?” Yes, Aunt Helen, the seniors got it, he vouchsafed. I’m sorry , she said with genuine sympathy; but I guess you didn’t try hard enough. Better work a little harder next time , and at that she passed on doxvn the steps. In his own room. Jack sat down to nurse his hurt pride,—Sorry! guess he didn’t need her pity, or want it. either! But did she think he hadn't tried hard enough? She. who had encouraged and helped his practicing and knew how hard he had worked? At this thought, since Aunt Helen and he had always been chums,—she, well she was better than any boy he had ever known—he sighed disconsolately, muttering, I may as xvell quit. No use any way! I dare say those seniors think they are quite it now— and, oh gee! that was a bully bunch of sophs that put me on. and they were so sure I’d win! Oh— But I shan’t disappoint them again , he decided. This is my last try . I couldn’t do it—and I know' I never can now.” He threw himself across the bed in order to think things out better. I know pretty much in history and English so I’m going to let up on the hard work. he concluded. What’s the use of working oneself into old age any way, just for good marks? After this I’ll have some fun and do as the rest of the fellows do—be content w'ith passing grades. Mother’ll be just as pleased and Aunt Helen doesn't care a hang any way, I suppose, but Dad—I expect Dad will be disappointed ; but then—Oh. I can fix it with him all right! Jack was as good as his word. The rest of that year he went in for real sport ; most of the time he thought he was having a good lot of fun, but there were days when he felt bored, somehow. There seemed to be something lacking. He could not understand just what; but the fact that he was naturally ambitious, made him miss the praise earned by hard work. It is true, he was in high favor with the real bunch . His jolly companionship and sunny nature made him a favorite among all his friends. He was mighty busy too. Funny. all the things a fellow has to go to when he once starts. Now there was bowling two nights each week; then he had to go to all the parties with the bunch”. Besides, there were shows, coasting and skating, and many other diversions to keep him busy. He Page Seventy-Four often wondered how he had ever been able to stand the drudgery of just school and study before this. He tho’t, “ onc such for me any more. Yet his conscience did bother at times. He felt badly when he received his first con in geography, because he had always been strong in natural sciences, and—well—Miss Smith was all right! She had always been pretty decent to him. he reflected. But, he should worry! Life was too short. Thus time sped on. Jack was enjoying himself immensely, feeling no compunctions whatever. All went smoothly, too. except for occasional “calling downs from some of his teachers, and the scenes when he had to bring his report cards home to be signed. It made him uncomfortable, to say the least, to see the look of sorrowful disappointment on his father’s face, and he usually hurried off to his room, angrily dashing away a tear or two, on the way. Nothing was escaping Aunt Helen though she. too, was bitterly disappointed. She tactfully questioned him from time to time and. putting two and two together, believed she fully understood the situation. Pondering over this awhile, she at last hit upon a plan by which she hoped to arouse him to a realization of his own idleness. Since Aunt Helen, rather Miss Andrews, had graduated from college, she had taught biology for two years in an eastern high school, but because of a period of illness had been obliged to discontinue in order to regain her usual strength. Since then she had lived with the Andrews. While teaching, it had been her hobby to take long cross-country walks every summer in order to study nature, and thus become familiar with her favorite subjects. This summer she had made elaborate plans for another such excursion, and, after much coaxing on Jack’s part, had consented to his accompanying her, provided he would study up on the subject so that he would be an intelligent companion for her. But Jack, needless to say, did not keep his promise. It was almost at the end of his junior year and he had already been told by his respective teachers that he would not pass in biology nor English. So one day, shortly before school closed, after he had displayed a “peach of a butterfly net , as he termed it, she approached the subject. Jack, I have decided not to take you after all , she began. Oh. Aunt Helen, you promised , he moaned. Yes, but so did you promise to study botany and zoology, but you didn’t, she reminded. “I am sure you wouldn’t know enough to make you a desirable companion; so if i take you. I shall spoil my trip , she added. Whew, that was a blow—! Do you honestly mean that. Aunt Helen? he asked slowly. Yes. I do. Jack, she answered, trying hard not to show how keenly she, too, felt his disappointment. Without a word he sought his own room. “ This is the worst yet! he thought. Oh hang! and here I told the fellows I wouldn’t go camping so they have made all their plans without me. Some vacation I’ll have! That shark, Ray, is making High in three years by going to summer school—probably I could get out of this mess somewhat if I went too— but oh! the staleness of it! Still there won't be anything else to do either in this old place! Page Seventy-Five I never should have thought that of Aunt Helen though I must be pretty much of a cad!” Yes, I'm going it pretty fast—looks now as if I shan’t graduate next year. I've simply got to, though. I could never face Aunt Helen if I didn’t. He pondered long and earnestly. I'm going to start over, I am. and work real hard. Besides, I’ll go with Aunt Helen yet. Why didn't I think of this before? I can easily work her for another chance by promising to work like sixty next year! Having thus joyfully settled his difficulties he confidently set out to find Aunt Helen. Oh, I say—won’t you let me come with you if I work very, very hard on these things now before school closes and then promise upon my honor to study all I ever can next year? Just one more chance! Do say ‘¥65’! he begged. But Miss Andrews was not so easily won. She had expected just this, and. consequently, was on her guard. The fact that he thought she could so easily be made to change her plans angered her a little so. No, I can’t have my trip spoiled by taking a person who doesn’t know a moth from a butterfly , was her cutting reply. That ended it, or rather started it; because, furiously angry. Jack strode from the room, resolving inwardly that never again should she have occasion to humiliate him so. He would learn to distinguish moths from butterflies and everything else they could teach him up at school. He would show her yet! He grimly resolved to go to summer school and make up. Then next year he would go in again for real work. Toiling manfully in the sweltering heat, he finally worked off the cons” and brushed up in the numerous other studies in which he was behind. Naturally he grew despondent at times and wanted to leave everything for a good time, but always the thought of what Aunt Helen had said, made him resolve more than ever to make good. When school opened the following September he admitted that he hadn't had a nickel’s worth of fun that whole summer. But yet he was eager to enter school. It was rather hard pulling he found. The fellows simply would not see his point of view, and there were always temptations to draw him into the old ways. Still he managed to keep his vow by sheer force of will, always fighting hard as soon as he felt himself yielding. And the realization of all he had missed came to him, strengthening his ambition to utilize every moment. Aha! the joyous moment had come at last. He had made the debating team, and wonder of wonders, he had been chosen again for the oratorical contest. The folks didn't know, but he decided not to mention it yet. It will probably surprise them a little”, he thought. He went at the work with a determination to win. Patiently he practiced his selection, each time with more confidence. The day came finally. Jack never knew' how it was done. In fact he scarcely realized he was facing a big audience. He knew his selection so thoroughly and read it with such eloquence—that there was no doubt that his was the best. So when the decision was Page Seventy-Six given, every one expected it; but, oh, he was glad, glad—how proud Aunt Helen would be! More astounding than this though, he was elected president of his class! This spurred him on more than ever. No one but himself knew the long hours of earnest labor he put into that year. On commencement day, how proud Mr. Andrews was of the manly youth so earnestly delivering the Salutatory Address. Mrs. Andrews wept. Aunt Helen smiled up at her handsome young nephew, and rejoiced at the manly determination in his face. And Jack felt that his hour of real triumph had come when she grasped his hand and said, “Jack, I am so proud of you. At last you have made good. Now you are a companion to be desired! Christine Skolas. £ n Sctng Slate I rush up from the car-line. The clock says half past eight; I did try hard this morning. But.—well. I’m always late.

Page Seventy-Seven £t)e ‘Jnsutrccto It was the middle of the afternoon of one of those hot still days in the tropics. The Plaza and the shops on it were deserted. Rogers and I were in an upper room of the convent, which we used as headquarters, the blinds drawn to keep out the dust and heat. I was stationed at La Cruz under Captain Rogers, who was in command there. It was during the Philippine Insurrection. We were carrying on a sort of guerilla warfare with bands of Insurrectos. At the time, we were particularly anxious to capture a certain Colonel Blanco, a mysterious leader, whose name was on every tongue, but of whose identity no one seemed to know. Time and again Rogers had led us on a hike to some place, hoping to catch him and his band; but always we were too late. Pedro, presidentc of La Cruz, was our chief informant. His information was a little too exact, however. We always found the fresh trails and the ashes of the camp fire just as he described them, but never the insurrectos. Though business prevented his accompanying us. Pedro was always there with the sympathy when we returned. Rogers was pretty much out of sorts, because his expeditions always ended in failure, and because of the arrival of the daily telegram from district headquarters gently suggesting that it was about time he was getting some “decisive results with such an able and I'ltpc Seventy-Eight energetic informant as the president. He didn’t have any use for the presidente and was saying something to that effect when the orderly came with word that Pedro was outside. He entered the next moment dressed in his everlasting immaculate white cotton, on his brown features his usual fixed inscrutable smile. In spite of this, however, it was evident that he was much disturbed. Rogers and I exchanged glances. Yes. he had news, fine news, splendid news for his dear friend, the captain”. They could capture those Insurrectos this time, and so many rifles! They .were in the hills back of Santiago. Yes, it was a good distance, but they would not leave for a day at least; for there was much rice at Santiago, and they must first have orders from Colonel Blanco. He, Pedro, would furnish us a guide, a most trustworthy one. who hated the Insurrectos. Had they not taken his carabao and his lands? He would like to see the Americanos kill them. Pedro was grieved that he himself could not accompany his dear friends; but pressing business called him to San Juan. Then with a promise that the guide should be sent immediately, he left. Rogers spoke after a moment’s thought. We shall try it , he said; I am sure, from Pedro’s manner, there is something doing. Of course we do not know his hand; we’ll risk it. however. I must be accomplishing something, or some fine day I’ll find myself replaced by a more efficient officer. We shall leave when the guide arrives. Order the men to make ready ; and he too left. At sundown. I saw the presidente again. He was booted and spurred and mounted on a small pony. He first took the east road, the road to San Juan, where business called. But I could have sworn he later turned south. I o the south lay Santiago. Fifteen minutes later the guide arrived, our men filed out of barracks, formed columns, and set off. We progressed rapidly at first along a broad easy road. This presently narrowed, however, into barely a trail and now led toward the mountains. Darkness fell, the path grew steeper and more and more difficult. Boulders and fallen trees blocked the way at intervals. Rogers had constantly to urge on the guide. Shortly after midnight we entered a narrow gorge. We now found it necessary to march single file along a narrow ledge of rock and soon the distant roar of a waterfall burst upon our ears. As we advanced, it grew louder, finally drowning out all other sounds. Always the guide lagged and had to be forced to go on. At length the gorge widened into a pocket which we could dimly sec was surrounded by tall perpendicular cliffs. Nowhere, apparently, was there any opening, except the one through which we had come. But where were our Insurrectos? Were we again too late? The guide stopped short, seized Rogers by the sleeve and pointed to the rocks above. They are up there, Senor, he said. You will be able to see them when it becomes lighter. Perhaps we should. But they would be able to see us as well. Rogers cursed and turned to me. Nice trap. he muttered. The danger was perfectly evident. It wasn’t a fight they had planned, but an execution. They were the masters of the situation and would be able to pick us off like so many rats. Page Seventy-Sine frpwriitii®! It was still dark. They could see nothing till daybreak anyway. We had arrived just a little too soon. If we did something and did it quickly, we might yet escape. “Put your forty-five to that guide’s head and tell him you'll blow his brains out if he opens his mouth,” ordered Rogers. Then in a low voice, he told the columns to right about and get out as quickly as they knew how. And we scrambled desperately, madly. If we reached that opening before dawn, it meant life; if not, we were so many dead men. It was like an eternity; everything rose up to block the way. It grew lighter. I glanced back involuntarily. I stumbled, righted myself, and plunged on. I prayed that the shadows would protect us. The sun rose above the eastern horizon as we emerged. At that instant a shot rang out. We should now have to meet them from the rear. We climbed on. We paused, for unmistakably there could be heard distant firing. Again it ceased; again we strove on excitedly. picking our way through a dense tropical growth. Without warning we burst upon a clearing to be confronted by Walker, Walker from Santa Anna. “We got ’em! he shouted. They were watching that gorge as a cat does a mouse. No outposts in the rear. We slipped on them so easily ’twas a pity. We got that Blanco too. He showed fight, but he’s done for now all right. To one side, stretched on a rough litter, lay a figure clothed in a once immaculate white cotton uniform, now spattered with mud and stained with blood. The presidente would give in no more information. Marie Richardson. Little flowers open gay. Peeping forth at break of day.

Page Eighty Z )t 3ugurj “Thai bull was slain; his recking hide They stretched the cataract beside. ¥ Mid groan of rock and roar of stream The Wizard waits prophetic dream”— These words and the explanation of the ancient Scottish augury given by Mrs. Bowers before little Bennie was tucked into bed, tumbled and rushed through his head. The whole idea appealed to his love of the weird and mystical, and he had insisted on having the lines read over and over again. The next day Bennie and his friend Cobbie from across the way stood dejectedly before the soul-thrilling circus bill. “Yep I an look at th elephunts. Even the big show didn’t have two young uns.” Nor a Til geraff either—Say, Ben, we just gotta go. Can’t we find a way somehow? Ben dug his toes into the soft earth, scratched his head, threw a stone or two across the road, but all to no avail. No inspiration came by which to gain admission to the canvas-topped land of wonders. The disappointments of the morning rankled within them both. No, Son. Mr. Bowers had said with his hand on Bennie’s shoulder, I can’t sanction your attending all of these cheap shows. You’ve already seen one this summer and. even if you earn your ticket. I do not think it best that you go to this one. This seemed to frustrate all hope for Bennie, and Cobbie had been met with a response just as disappointing. “Go to the show next Saturday? Well, I guess you can’t. Every cent you get this month is pledged to your missionary box; and you needn’t expect me to fill it in the end, cither! Were there any possible means of obtaining permission after these rebuffs? Both boys sat down on the edge of the sidewalk and contemplated the trained pigs in silence. Suddenly, Ben stood up—he began to recite— “The bull was slain; his reeking hide— Well, whatcha givin’ us—goin’ to speak a piece? Nope, but say. Cob, and then Bennie proceeded to explain the old Scotch superstition. Cob, however, was not as enthusiastic as he should have been. Well, that’s all right in them days but where’d yu get yer hide now? You can bet Aunt’d take the hide ofTn me if I tried to skin the cow! But once Ben had an idea he did not mean to abandon it without careful consideration. Wish we hadda buff’lo robe—Wish we — Page Eighty-One Just then Cob rushed across the road, past the house and into the barn. A little later, he returned dragging an old cutter-robe behind. Ben jumped. Gee, just the thing! Cob. you’re a Golliwhop! The rest was easy. They really didn’t have to have a cataract.—the mud puddle down by the pump would do. and although there was some discussion concerning the definition of reeking, it was at last decided that muddy was a good synonym, and the robe was treated accordingly. By the elimination process of eeni-meeni, Ben was selected to be the wizard. The test was to take place that very night. ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ It was a long afternoon: but. somehow, the hours passed and Bennie was in his little bed listening to the evening continuation of The Lady of the Lake.” Mrs. Bowers was puzzled. At other times she had been begged to read more and more; but tonight Bennie’s eyes were closed and he was fast asleep before she had covered half a canto. So she kissed him good night and turned out the light. Just as soon as the door was closed and his mother’s foot touched the bottom, step. Bennie bounded out of bed. crept to the window and whistled softly. His call being answered. he dressed, slid down the porch pillar, and jumped to the lawn where he was joined by Cob. The two ran, shivering, across lots to the old pump. Cautiously, they brought out the robe which had lain, throughout the afternoon, under a barrel, and laid it in the deepest pari of the pool. Bennie then lay down in it. Cobbic with a few extemporaneous incantations wrapped him up, tied the robe on securely by means of I rixie's stake rope, picked up as the boys crossed the lot, and sat down close beside the young soothsayer to await that delirium which should cause the prophecy which should foretell whether there was any possible chance of getting to the circus. But Cobbic shivered harder than ever, and. finally, with an earnest injunction not to predict anything until his return, he rushed away to get his coat and a blanket. Bennie, too. was far from comfortable. In his haste, he had donned only part of his clothes, and the night air proved unexpectedly sharp. Then the water had begun to creep in around the sides of the robe. It was trickling now under his arms and neck. He could feel his body was sinking farther and farther into the slime. He decided that the hides used by the Scotch were probably much warmer than the cowhide cutter robes of today, and he began to wish he had never heard of the Scotch augury. How creepy everything was! Of course, he knew that was the shadow of the old pump, but sometimes it did look as though it moved. Why didn’t Cob come back! He watched the stars; he saw one fall in the west, then another. My. wasn’t it still! Why didn’t Cob come! Ben tried again to squirm free, but the rope was tied much too well and he sank farther than ever into the mud. Finally the struggles of the little wizard lessened, and slowly he closed his eyes. I he pump creaked; Jenkin’s cow mooed and then— He was in the circus tent. His father and Cobbie seemed to be there too—only wasn’t every one acting queerly? Cob was shinning up the center pole and his own digni- Page Blghty-Two -wiiDfriiiffi GWc f ficd father was driving a chariot. Benny himself was lying in the sawdust. For some reason he could not rise. Some unseemly force held him fast. But he was laughing; every one else was too. I hen the animals were rushing rampant round and round. 1 he elephants tossed their trunks and lumbered towards him: the tigers sprang through the bars of their cages to the ground. Confusion, mad and glorious, was everywhere. Horse after horse had galloped past him: one mammoth lion was then snuffing at his feet and the biggest elephant was just about to plant a heavy foot on his chest when he heard voices very close to his ear— Ben half opened his eyes. Great Jupiter! What a smell of turpentine! And of all the flannel! What was that they were saying? Why. it sounded like old Dr. Spiggs! “Yes. he’s had a close call, but he’ll be all right when he wakes up. It’s a mighty lucky thing Miss Scaggs over here collared that young nephew of hers though, or I wouldn’t vouch for the consequences. But the fever’s gone now. Just keep him warm. He’ll be out by Saturday.” Bennie’s eyes opened wide. Saturday? What was Saturday anyway? He couldn’t quite remember. Mother was standing over the bed pouring out something thick and white into a big silver spoon. Just then she glanced down. Oh. Benny-boy. how much better you are! Take this, dear; we’ll have you sitting up to-morrow.’’ But Bennie made a wry face. Castor oil was the thing he most detested. How could he swallow such vile stuff? Just then the old doctor spoke up. Come on. Bennie, take it. You want to get well, you know. There’s going to be a mighty fine circus here Saturday. I saw the bills as I came up. By the way. Bowers, why don’t you take the kid and go yourself? A day from the office would do you good. Mr. Bowers smiled. His mind went back to Bennie's delirium. The boy did set great store on the event. Well, I believe I will. Bennie has followed directions, so I guess his father will have to, too. What do you think about it, Son? Would you and Cob like to go to the circus with me Saturday? Well, hurry up and get well and we’ll go; but by all that’s good and great, don’t pull off any more such stunts as you did last night. And so it happened that Bennie and Cobbie went to the circus after all. Ben’s father says it was Dr. Sprigg’s orders; his mother, that it was a reward for taking his medicine; but Bennie knows that it was the augury that brought it all about. Hazel Hatfield.

Our new balcony has helped a great deal in making them more successful. In former years when a general auditorium gathering was held, a group of more than two hundred boys stood in the back of the room listening to what they couldn’t hear. On account of this programs had to be given before groups and individual classes. Now practically all these forenoon programs are enjoyed in comfort by the entire school. The program is usually a musical or a lecture by some noted visitor. At times, the pupils give the entertainments. Again, Mr. Barnes may give us some much needed advice or stern warning. Whatever there is. it is always received with the utmost enthusiasm by the students. for it affords a pleasant break in the day’s routine. 1‘npe One Hundred and Nineteen Pn9 °nr HlHdrrri The Annual Club Banquet fool Riff Beyond a doubt, social events this year have been more complete and satisfying than ever before. The truly informal matinee dances and mixer dances have been so successful that everyone has almost forgotten the ‘’Proms’’ and Informals” of other years. In a large measure, this success of social affairs is due to improved management which was brought about by the creation of a social committee. This committee, composed of members of the faculty and members of the various classes, arranged a social program for the entire year. The members of this committee acted as chairmen of the subcommittees for each party. Everything was handled carefully and intelligently thus assuring the greatest success. To Miss Moseley, as the head of the committee, is due a great part of the success of the plan, which, next year, will no doubt be as satisfactorily continued. The first and one of the most unusual events of the year came October 30th in the form of a unique Halloween party for the Juniors and Seniors. This was. indeed, very interesting and enjoyable. Spectral ghosts flitted through the murky half-darkness, and there were fortune-tellers, mummies, dancing skeletons, and other hair-raising and thrilling apparitions. During the latter part of the evening, games and refreshments were enjoyed. The all-school party the night before Christmas vacation was a jolly Yuletidey affair. The big brightly trimmed tree in the center of the gymnasium radiated Christmas cheer and good feeling to the farthest corners of the room, and made the dancing more zestful, the short program more interesting, and the eats even more enjoyable than usual. The twenty-dollar profit that was made at this party was turned over to a group of Senior girls who were trying to bring Christmas happiness to two poor families. The Christmas party was surely a success in more than one way. The Annual Club Banquet. February twenty-second, was a greater event than in any previous year. To the toasts given by a few of our intellectual marvels, and the dainty- light”-suppcr. there were added an auditorium program and an hour and a half of dancing. Each of the several hundred club members received full value for his sixty cents. Still another enjoyable occasion came May thirteenth in the form of a May Party given by the Juniors for the Seniors. I he interesting program as w-ell as the dancing will cause it to be long remembered by many members of both classes. The matinee dances have been continued this year with ever increasing success. On these occasions, the floor of the gymnasium has always been crowded, notwithstanding the “excrutiatingly bad music for which ten cents is charged. At the Freshman-Sophomore dances, there has been a noticeable lack of boys—probably on account of the war. If this be the cause, all hope the war may end very soon. Although the memory of past pleasures is enjoyable, still more enjoyable is the anticipation of those to come; so all feel sure that the Senior Banquet and Commencement party will form the culmination of one of the most successful social seasons of the school annals.

Early in the year two teams were picked for the Beloit league, and in March six more debaters were chosen for two debates with Baraboo. I hanks to the coaching of Mr. Slocum, we have made a very creditable record in debating, considering that few of our speakers have had much real experience. In the Beloit league the ship subsidy question was threshed out. On March seventeenth the entire school was assembled in the auditorium for two periods to hear our affirmative team, composed of Ben Gurney, Harry Miller, and Kenneth Harley, defeat Janesville by a unanimous decision. The Janesvillites were overawed by having over a thousand spectators, arrayed in green and orange to celebrate St. Patrick’s day. One week later at Janesville's home debate, our negative team. Raymond Hansen. Hasbrouck Van Vleck and Isadore Perstcin, were victorious by a two to one decision. This second defeat of Janesville cinched the championship of our section of the league. Efforts to secure debates with the successful teams of the Illinois division proved useless, owing to the lateness of the season. The problem of Philippine independence was debated with Baraboo. The affirmative team, composed of John Thompson. Alois Hess, and Samuel Marshall, debated at Madison, with the melodious strains of the orchestra to relieve some of the tension. The members of the negative team, which traveled to the circus city, were Donald Marvin, Martin Hein. ?nd Frank Hamilton. After splendid fights and much quibbling over the meaning of the question, Madison unfortunately lost both debates unanimously. These defeats do not seem nearly so bad when one considers that the Baraboo representatives were the pick of the whole school, while our debaters were all inexperienced Juniors and Sophomores. This year we had two debaters who had been in previous interscholastic contests; next year we shall have at least six, and so ought to make a fine showing.

H. S. had not had a baseball team for several years. Abouf thirty candidates reported at the gym that afternoon. A week of inside work followed and then the squad went out of doors. Competition was pretty close for some of the positions. By the time the first game was called, however, a team which had been practicing together was ready to take the field. Deerfield was the first poor unfortunate to line up against our M. H. S. all stars. The game was a farce. At the end of the fifth inning the Deerfield team decided to quit. They had used four pitchers and they held the score down to 35-0 in favor of M. H. S. I his was the only home game. As many as ten people besides the team were there. Madison won only one other game, defeating Verona 8-5. Four other games were played, each of which was lost. I he season on the whole was considered a failure both financially and from the point of victories. It seems, for the present at least, as though M. H. S. must devote its entire baseball attention to the class teams, and say farewell to a regular M. H. S. team; but we all hope that in some future day the baseball spirit may be roused to such an extent that it can never die. E. F. Wif.DENBECK. M. H. S. 35 Deerfield 0 M. H. S. 2 Oregon . 3 M. H.

I he schedule, however, was played under some adverse conditions; the weather was extremely uncertain, and the spectators were conspicuous only by their absence. I his last named difficulty did not, however, dampen the ardor of the aspirants to baseball fame aa much as the trials that beset them upon their initial appearance at Britting-ham Park. On this first day the caretaker at the Park met the candidates, and as a pleasant little surprise armed each one with shovel and set him to leveling off the field, which had been badly torn up by our rbbusl football team. The boys spent three or four days plying tools vigorously, and at the completion of the task gladly threw aside their disguise as excavators to bloom forth as real ball-players. Owing to the late hour of school dismissal, the games were limited to five innings; but this was ample time for each team to display its best style of baseball. The nearness of the grounds do the lake frequently obliged the outfielders to swim after the “home runs. Many boys, who later in the summer carried off prizes in the swimming races, have testified that their first and most valuable aquatic training was received while “shagging the powerful drives of husky batsmen into the frigid waters of Monona. The Freshmen team, a glittering galaxy of stars, many of whom later made good on the “regular squad, won the championship, suffering but a single defeat the entire season. The other teams, because of uncertain and shifting lineups, did not present so imposing a front as the first year men. Coach “Al” Tormey officiated at all the games, while George , the caretaker, stood by with a shovel to enforce “AIY decisions. Arthur McCaffery ‘16.

A squad of about ten men answered the call for candidates, and practice was held in the gym until the weather warmed enough to permit outdoor work.

I’agc One Hundred and Twenty-Nine 1 he first meet in which Madison was entered was the Beloit College Meet. As all the large schools of Illinois had teams entered, this meet proved faster than the Inlcrscholastic. and the team failed to place. Next came the Kipon meet in which a large team was entered ; but, because of financial troubles, no men were sent. I he State Interscholastic Meet on May 2S) saw but three of our men entered. We were able to capture but one place. F robably the track-meet which aroused the most interest in our school was the Interclass meet held on June 5th and 6th.

Page Oilr Hundred and Thirty-Ont Onr Hundrtd a nd Thirty-Two History repeats itself! David, boasting of nearly 133 pounds, made history when he slew Goliath, king of the “heavies”. And now. centuries after, along comes the 1913 Madison eleven and re-stages the David-Goliath act. The Orange and Black squad of this year was the smallest, and probably the lightest, aggregation that ever fought for our school on the gridiron; but the wonderfully plucky fights they put up in the face of adverse conditions last fall will be long remembered in our football history. Our 1913 eleven, playing the hardest schedule in years. lost but two games in a total of ten played, thus winning the championship of southern Wisconsin and gaining a position among the strongest teams in the state. Before the beginning of practice last fall it was all “doped out that we were to have a successful season, since seven “M men were back in school. A surprisingly small number of candidates, however, reported for the squad. For the first time in Madison history. there were less than two elevens out for practice! Class teams were able to afford the regulars” some scrimmage, but for the greater part of the year Mr. Crispin had to get along with a squad of only eighteen men. And this was but one of the many obstacles, seemingly insurmountable, that confronted our coach. Throughout the season he was continually compelled to shift the line-up because of the ineligibility of some of the best players. Injuries and suspensions weakened the team in nearly every game; but the greatest mishap came after the Oshkosh contest, when, because of illness. Bill Meltzer was lost to the team for the rest of the season. His loss was noticeable in all the remaining games, especially so in the kicking department, where his educated toe had proved invaluable to the eleven. Despite these numerous handicaps. Mr. Crispin worked unceasingly to turn out a winning team, and his efforts were rewarded by the manner in which the eleven performed. Page One Hundred and Thirty-Three Thanks to an early start, the team learned a great deal ol football n tbe V� tee weeks of practice that preceded the opening game with Lake Mills, with the result that we won. 4 I to 6. The next Saturday the team journeyed to Edgcrton; and. alter a hard-fought game, returned with a victory. 7 to 0. On the following Saturday, October 9, the eleven met the hardest luck of the season at Monroe; for Monroe won out on a lucky touch-down, score 7 to 6. This defeat, instead of unnerving the fellows, had the opposite effect, and next Saturday, when they marched onto the Baraboo held, they were determined to run up a score that no hard luck could overcome. The team worked perfectly and one more scalp was added to the growing collection; score 2b to b. The game at I omah on October 23 was another hard-fought battle, but we managed to win by one touch-down. 7 to 0. The next Saturday we met our old rival, Oshkosh, in the second home game of the season. A few days previous to the contest, the Loyal Boosters were organized, and in a short time they stirred up a wonderful amount of football spirit. A gigantic massmeeting was held in the auditorium and nearly everyone present went to the game next day and helped our smooth-working machine defeat the heavy Oshkosh eleven by the narrow margin of a goal-kick, score 7 to 6. I he following Saturday the team journeyed to Janesville, and, during bO minutes of light work, rolled up a 33 to 0 score against the Bower city boys. I he next Saturday Milwaukee West Division invaded our camp, regarding us with mingled pity and scorn. They scored 10 points early in the game, but two long runs by Ernie” Wiedenbeck put us in tbe lead, and tbe magnificent defense that the fellows staged in the closing moments gave us the victory, 14 to 0. On the following Friday, our gridiron warriors went to Beloit, to play for the cbampionshxp of southern Wisconsin. Although out-weighed and greatly handicapped hy a muddy field, our “speed boys” outplayed ihe husky “down-staters” throughout the game. Neither team proved able to score, but Madison had the hall in Beloit's territory three-fourths of the time. T he biggest game o( the season was played at La Crosse on I banksgiving, and there our eleven bowed to superior strength for the first time. Playing against one of the strongest high school teams in the country, wc put up a sturdy defense and held the Red and Black scoreless until injuries weakened our line-up. The final score was 4 to 0, W the grand entertainment that our friendliest rivals offered us took all the sting of defeat away. Thus ended one of the most successful seasons in Madison football history. Harold Gill, Tb. Fo La Crosse Once more you were victors, La Crosse, With a team that was expert and good. We haven't a kick on the finish; We fought you the best that we could. You defeated us fairly, la Crosse; You fought us like soldiers and men. But well fight you once more to the finish When we meet you. La Crosse, again. Andwla Kiland.

I'ui i Onr Hundred and Thirl ji-Six Claes jfootball in 1915 Since the introduction of Class Football in the M. H. S.. that class of athletics has enjoyed no greater prosperity than fell to its share during the season of 1915. When the first call for practice was issued early in the fall, a very large number of candidates responded to the contest for positions on the various teams. During the first few weeks of the season, competition for places was very keen, and, at the end of that time, the permanent lineups were complete. Under the tutelage of Al” Kesscn-ich of Varsity fame the boys developed rapidly and gained immensely in knowledge of the fine points of the game. Interest in the outcome of the contests was very high, as was evidenced by the unusually large number of enthusiastic spectators present at every game. The splendid type of football displayed during these games was a credit to the spirit of the players. The only unpleasant feature of the entire season was the lack of an adequate playing field. The grounds at Brittingham Park were small and encumbered most of the time with iron piping used in city construction work. Although play conducted among these formidable ramparts was dangerous in the extreme, the season passed without the occurrence of any accident. The Seniors with a veteran team won the championship without suffering a single defeat. The Sophomores, however, presented an imposing lineup at all times, and deserve honorable mention. I he Freshmen and Juniors did not develop as well as the others, but nevertheless played good football. Arthur McCaffery, 16.

It was marked by only three defeats, for two of which we took full revenge, as we should have done by the third had we been given a chance. Altogether there were twelve games played. Madison scored 391 points against 208 by their opponents. The first two games, which were played on our own floor, proved very easy for us. The first was a massacre bestowed on the little cheese-making village. Monticello. The next one proved nearly as easy when we buried Deerfield 51-1 I. 1 hen we started travelling. First our team and about fifteen rooters journeyed to Janesville. This team had had hard luck previous to our game, having been defeated two or three times by one point. Nevertheless, any one of our fifteen rooters will tell you that Janesville had a game bunch. We just edged out by a 16-10 win. We might have had a larger score, but unfortunately, the great iron beams across the ceiling could not be removed just for our benefit. 1 hen for La Crosse. Mr. Crispin was determined to start something, and he did. We landed upon our northern enemy with a new style of play fresh in our minds and brought back the bacon 21-20. This happiness, sad to say. was soon turned to gloom, for. though seventy-five rooters supported us. we were defeated at Edgerton 37-27. Any one of these seventy-five rooters can give you our alibi. Richland Center, the town which tried to sweep Madison from the map last year, was our next victim. We toyed with the team the entire forty minutes and sent it home on the short end of a 31-11 score. Next, we were defeated by Beloit. This was our first real defeat of the season. We had an “off day,” and simply could not get to- Pnyc One Hundred and Forty-Three gether. When we trotted out upon the floor that night, we could find but one basket; however, we soon found out there was another—somewhere. Score, 32-16. Our remaining games were to be played at home and every member of the team was determined to win them all. The first two games were played the next week. With blood in our eyes, we jumped into the fray and avenged ourselves on both Beloit and Edgerton. Right then we were playing a brand of basketball that would be hard for any team to beat. LaCrosse was taken into camp the next Saturday for the second time. This game was witnessed by about 550 people, all that the gym would hold; and too much credit cannot be given to these loyal supporters for our victory. This was the first time in years that Madison has beaten La Crosse twice in one season. After this, the Janesville team had the nerve to come to Madison with a basketball in their hands. We wasted no time with them, and sent them home defeated for the second time in the season. We were then drilled during two long weeks of practice to prepare us for the State Tournament at Appleton. Our scheduled season had been a success and we were doped as one of the strongest teams of the State. Accordingly, our team was one of the eight invited to Appleton. We certainly had a fine chance to mix things up at Appleton. but we did not play our own game; so we lost our first contest by one point. We returned with the name Wittcmberg as well as Ncenah and Menasha in our vocabularies. his was a sad ending for the basketball season of 1915“ 16, and no one felt it more than the five members of the team who had played their last game for dear old Madison High.

Ptific One Hundred and Forty-Four Class basketball The keen interest manifested by all boys participating in class basketball resulted in clean, fast ball throughout the season. The games drew larger crowds than did any other inter-class sport. In many of the games, particularly those betw ecn the Sophomores and the Seniors, school spirit was much more in evidence than it was at some of the regular games. h rom the very outset it was evident that the championship lay between the Sophs and the Seniors, though the other teams played remarkably well. On one occasion the fighting Frosh kicked the dope bucket and administered to the highly touted Seniors an unexpected drubbing. In the opening game the Juniors walked away from the Freshmen. Playing true to form the Sophomores defeated the Seniors in the second game, taking the long end of a I 4 to 5 score. Randall, represented last year by a team of championship calibre, won only one game and finished the season with a firm hold on the cellar berth. I he Sophs met the Seniors in the final game of the season. A win for the Sophomore meant the championship, while a win for the Seniors would enable them to finish on even terms with the Sophs. I he Seniors were greatly aided by the addition of a lanky center from the regular squad, and as a result they tore down the floor with an attack full of pep. precision, and power, and returned easy winners. The loss by graduation of practically the entire 1916 regular squad will not be such a hard blow when one considers the star performances of some of our underclassmen on this year’s class basketball teams. IsADORE PERSTEIN. Freshman Boys’ Basketball Page One Hundred and Forty-Five Pape One Hundred and Fort n-Six Junior Basketball Team When the basket-ball season opened on October fifteenth, about one hundred fifty girls, mostly Freshmen, made their appearance on the gym floor. After several months of practice. the teams were chosen. I he Juniors and Sophomores showed up very well; the Seniors were poorly represented; the Freshmen appeared as weaklings. On F ebruary eighth, the games began. From the beginning of the season, the Juniors were picked for the champions. The plucky little Sophomore team, however, caused them much worry. Although the Seniors and the F reshmen were not very successful, they suffered all their defeats in a true sportsman-like manner. The season dosed on April seventh, leaving the championship in the hands of the Juniors. Fay L. MORGAN, ’16. 0trlQ’ Basketball Is it not strange that one hardly at all Hears a single thing said about girls’ basketball? The boys’ teams are sure to get all the glory; But I think the girls’ teams are deserving a story. Like the boys, each girls’ class has its own five-man team. And its colors and subs and its captain supreme; And they play their fast games with four different classes. With their ball teams made up of our bonny fine lasses; And in all the games since away in the fall. The Junior Class girls have won them all. Next below them is the Sophomores’ place; The Seniors come next—Freshmen last in the race. At the games of the girls there's no leader to cheer; But the fighting is hard without favor or fear. Much injury often to beauty is wrought In the terrible conflicts so valiantly fought. The games are all played in the gym after four. With a few select spectators, hardly a score. That no boys arc allowed is a terrible blow. And even Mr. Barnes scarce finds time to go. I say that the girls shouldn’t be overlooked. But in this Tychoberahn here should be F ooked; For if the girls should in a game the boys meet. I honestly think that the girls’ team might beat. ELEANOR RlLEY.

Acutely felt each bump: We softly swore as ’gainst the side We heard our suitcase thump. Our livery bills were fearful sums.— We paid them with a groan. We now reflect on them with sighs And many a hcartful moan. And when it rained! My heart alive! Some scramble took place there— One cabby with ten struggling men All shouting. I'm your fare.” But now—Oh days of joy and bliss— Oh rapture—ease divine! We travel in a jitney bus, All up and down the line. For one small nickel we can go Wherever man has been— For why? Because wc ride, forsooth. In Fords--1 knew you’d grin. Henry Griswold. A Kewpic guard is our Charlie. Who won't let windows opened be.

DETECTIVES UNCOVER PLOT PUBLIC OPINION VILLAIN ESCAPES It Is our good fortune to be able to publish in advance a few of the many comment and criticism that the moil noted periodical will make about the 1916 Tychoberahn. The Wopvllle Budget, coming out rather frankly, says: “The 1916 Tychoberahn of the Madison High School. I a disgrace to modern civilisation. It belongs back In the prehistoric age when our ancestors walked on all fours. Each member of the board deserves to be given a public hanging, and the hangman should receive a high bounty. “The Weakly Wonder writes: We wish to express our opinion concerning this wonderful book which is exciting so much admiration among the lover of good literature . It Is one of the finest pieces of work ever produced. The writing of Shakespeare and Horatio Alger fade Into Insignlflcance since the book has been published. The Typical Boy” publishes this : In all our researches of literature we have found nothing o hopeless as this piece of trash. It will Inevitably wreck and ruin the minds of all who read It.” “The Atlantic Monthly:”— We believe this is to be the eighth won- der of the world. Mr. D. W. Grlf- ! fin who produced The Birth of Nation” will be forced to call his masterpiece the ninth wonder of j the world since the Tychoberahn | ha appeared. The talent displayed is remarkable. The art equals or surpasses that of Raphael and the poems can be compared with those of I’oe. Certainly, some divine power must have presided over the making of so great a book. “The Dane Kounty ifontamlna-tor:”— With extreme pleasure, we wish to point out how excruciatingly bad la this book which Is causing so much national agitation. It j is. without doubt, the worst that anyone has ever tried to slip over I on the people. IT SHAKES EVEN THE SALT! The influence of this pest will be handed down In our memory and will ruin the minds of the coming generations.” Ye Year y Yawn:”— We desire to extend our slncerest sympathy to the 1916 Tychoberahn board. We have been through the same crisis, so wo are In a position to show our deepest sympathies. We hope they will pull through, as we did, with only a small loss of life. TERRIBLE MASSACRE ON TBIRD FLOOR WISE TO BE PREPARED Fifty frogs were killed and sev- j eral seriously wounded this morning in a biology class In the j Madison High School. The mur-1 derers first killed them, then bisected the mangled bodies. To( think that such a terrible thing could happen right here In our midst! It is even worse than the Mexican massacre In which only twelve Americans were killed. PRISONER ESCAPES A report was received this afternoon stating that one of the wound-(Continued on page 2, col. 2) A bold and bloody plot was unearthed today by the Gum-Shu detective agency and the German janitor. A heartless murderer. Rodney Welsh, brought his ferocious dog to school. He locked the beast in A waste-paper can near room 23. It was his Intention to turn the animal loose on the helpless students of 23. Fate, however. Intervened. The beast began to bark and snarl In Its prison. This was detected by one of our gallant Janitors. He Immediately Informed the Gum-Shu detective agency, composed of Holcombe. Tuttle. Harley. Nash and a few others. The quick-sighted and clever brain work of this department deserves much credit. Harley Immediately left for home to get his renowned gun. Holcombe ordered his glasses to be brought from the Jewelry shop where they were being repaired. In the short space of an hour the agency was ready for work. In the meantime, however, the pupils In 23 had heard of their precarious situation. There was a frightful panic. Students fell to the floor in dead faints. Suicides were planned on every side. Vernon Steinle pitiably cried. O MY MARION! This heart rending cry caused Laurence Hall to display wonderful courage at the extreme risk of his own life. He stood In the front of the room. His socks and tie made so much noise that the growling of the beast could scarcely be heard. Nevertheless, there was still a great disturbance. The Gum-Shu then arrived.

After a long and tedious discussion they decided that some- 1 thing ought to be done. When they ( had consulted a book on How to Become a Detective, they hit upon a scheme. The monster should be fed poison; out where was the poison? They debated upon this for some time. Finally a brilliant Idea entered Harley’s head. It was agreed upon by all. THE BISCUIT FROM THE DOMESTIC SCIENCE DEPARTMENT PROVED FATAL. When the students in twenty-three heard of their freedom, they burst into Joyous songs. Much praise was bestowed upon the brave 1 detective agency. They received 1 it very calmly as they were used to performing great deeds. When Welsh heard that his plot' had been foiled, he immediately i skipped the country. It is rumored that the Gum-Shu will start a I search in a few months.

NOTICE Wonderful historical discovery unearthed ! Great Britain is the original Pantorlum ! “H. Frame, in history class: England pressed the U. 8. seamen. BERNARD HUEBNER VS. INDUSTRIAL SLAVERY IN 102 Fellow Slaves: We arc met this evening to discuss the rooting out and destruction of the present industrial slavery condition existing in and about room 102. By the great charter all the English speaking people of the world were given civil Independence. The Civil war handed down that inheritance to us. In 1864 Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves of the South, yet we of the twentieth century, we who are to be the leaders of the world, we the best of all the youths of Madison, are forced to work under conditions which would make the worst of sweat-shops seem paradise. We are forced to leave our pursuit of the elusive butterfly of knowledge which flits from blossom to blossom along the flowery paths of learning and ply the trade of scrub-women and scrub-men. We who should be the beacons for the struggling freshman and the guides for the awaking sophomores are made to serve In tho most degrading and backbreaking of professions. We are not slaves! ARISE! Throw off the tyranny of cruel teachers! A moment. friends. Pause In your weeping. Let us see the results of their tyranny before we revolt Here Is a poor creature who nervously fidgets in his seat See him start at the slight noise; note his shrunken face, his hollow eyes. Scarce two and one-half years ago. he parted from his parents. Little they know the perils of room 102. He ontered a rosy cheeked boy. Now he Is a nervous wreck. THIS Is the Industrial slavery of 102! This is why we should revolt! To arms ! Let us fight until the thing is uprooted. Down with the present system and let the Janitors clean the desks! HANSEN GETS $5.00 AND COSTS Ray Hansen was arraigned in court this morning for the wanton destruction of public property. In a recent basket ball game, his head collided with a radiator. The damages done to the radiator will amount to ten dollars. THE STRATFORD GAZETTE, JUNE 1, 1916 3 PEACE DISTURBED IN ROOM 216 CULPRIT COES UNPUNISHED A great disturbance occurred in Room 216 the eighth period today. While all the pupils were quietly pretending to study, spoken words were suddenly heard, which, however, were indistinguishable. Miss Moseley's sharp taps for order were disregarded by the unknown culprit. and the words grew louder. A deep, hollow voice was heard to exclaim, Ow. ouch ! and after a pause. Here's another one of those darn things. Everyone in the room. Including Miss Moseley, who was thunderstruck at the audacity of the act. held his breath; but nothing worse was heard. A search for the criminal was immediately begun but resulted fruitlessly. Detectives Anally reached the conclusion that the sounds must have Issued from the cold air ventilator in the wall and this solution to the mystery Is generally accepted by alL Although the identity of the malefactor is as yet unknown, witnesses state that the voice resembled that of Lawrence Hall who was lurking somewhere In the basement, latest reports from headquarters state that Miss Moseley is not to lose her position, although her enviable reputation for preserving order Is shattered. CONTEST IN AUDITORIUM A contest Is to be held In the ' Auditorium in the near future, tho object being to discover who can chew gum the loudest. It is expected that Miss Edwina Dexter, though only a sophomore, will take first prize, as she can make herself heard by the seniors In the last row of the balcony. However, we do not wish to discourage competitors ; the contest is open to everybody. HORRIBLE ROBBERY Virginia Conklin was recently apprehended for stealing one heart and a solid glass Beta pin from an unsuspecting South Dakota boy. PREPAREDNESS Oh, every one Is talking about preparedness today. We hope our readers understand what It means when people say. We must arise and be prepared; beware the German peril. We hope you understand by that, they all refer to Carol. For Miss Young can bo quite perilous if you do not prepare. Miss Kleinpell. too, and yes. Miss Glenz, you’d better all take care; When you haven't done your sentences, it's time then to get scared. And you'll be wishing soon that you had your lossons well prepared. Some people fear the English, and yes. ah! well they may. Have you ever seen Miss Regan when your minds from lessons stray? The French too may be dangerous ; Indeed, so I have heard. Miss Johnson will declare a war If we do not know our verb. Don't think we blame our teachers ; Indeed, we shouldn't dare. It's all our fault because, you see. we don't arise. PREPARE’- BRAVELY RESTRAINS ATTACK A great and heroic deed was performed on tho part of a virtuous young high school student. Paul Kayser. The courageous youth while counting the bats In the attic of the iJelta Upsllon house was suddenly attacked by the grippe. The bloody monster siezed our hero around the neck and was about to choke him. Just then Paul espied a window at the foot of a fire escape. He did not hesitate one minute. Loosening himself from the clutches of the beast, he dove for the window. Grippe followed him. The fire-escape was Icy, but this did not daunt our hero. He descended on the rail The monster did not dare to follow. It stood by the window and shook Its bony fist at the lad who by this time had reached the ground. The gallant youth, undisturbed by the terrible threats, merely smllod Ironically at the beast and walked away. Mr. Kayser deserves much credit for the wonderful coolness he displayed while in such a perilous position. He will, without doubt, re- THE SOCIETY COLUMN The flunkers' aid society will meet on Friday evening, June 12. at the home of Miss Irene Dengcl.

AN APPEAL TO REASON The time Is fitting for me to voice my opinion on a subject which has caused me many a heartache and many a sleepless night. It has gnawed at my very soul, and has caused me countless numbers of distresses. The great demand of the world at present Is for the sawdust and dill pickle industry. It is estimated that over sixty million dill pickles are consumed In our own high school in one year. Sawdust Is needed everywhere. Last year many students of this community had their heads refilled with sawdust O fellow newspaper readers, why not abolish those silly studies which prepare us for no place but Men-dota, and learn the art of making dill pickles and sawdust? O that each and every Individual would put his entire life and soul Into a work which might better our surroundings. Our atmosphere is becoming too sweet. We need something sour. We want our youths and. maidens to grow up with a trade which will make them useful In their future career. We want them to saw dust and dill pickles. If I could bring about the establishment of such a reform. I should feet that I had done double the work for which I was Intended. NEW BOOKS ADDED Mlaa Rice has recently added a collection of new books to the library among which are the following: Grafting As An Art —Miss L. Steensland. An excellent treatise by a person skilled through long experience, on how to obtain a graft. Are You Well Red? or Arc You Well Read? by tho most Illustrious Arthur McCaffery of the Shuckless Peanut Co. A very good summary showing how far fine sentences and hair of reddish complexion will get a person Into the female world’s favor. Hot Air as a Medium of Exchange”—Ray Holcombe. The writer of this book has many qualifications for writing on such a subject ; you will find this book one A FEW LINES OF RHYMES Break, Break. Break, On my cold blank stare, O, “C. But I wish that my pen could scribble. Thoughts that won't rise In me. O well for the grinder's Ex. Which he works for the live long day, O well for the Bluffer's Good, That I shall see sometime, nay. nay. And the stately grads go on To the U. W. upon the hill: But O for the sight of vanished fair. And the sound of a poor that Is still. Break. Break, Break. At the top of my page. O. C. But the tender grace of a graft that Is gone. Will never come back to me. There was a young man named Dlnny. Tall, lanky, long-legged and skinny. He could play basket ball. Can baskets and all. Was there ever a man like Dlnny? There was a History teacher. And her name was Martha Sell; She kept her room and all the seats As bright as any belt I sat one day thru all the class. As happy as the day; I wax a most attentive boy Not once my mind did stray. Without a thought I grasped my pen And made some pictures gay. But down the aisle came M. E. Sell. And I scrubbed them all away. which you will waste no time In reading. Twelve Centuries of Frozen Poultry. This book Is to take the place of “Twelve Centuries of Prose and Poetry.” which has been removed because the students found It boring. It Is hoped that the new books, being of a lighter and more popular nature, will please better.
