Class Officer 7C1 1311:1111 The Sophomore Class A demure, little maid is Geneva Aamodt; She never was involved in a scheme or a plot. She studies her lessons all the day, And sometimes far into the night, they say. Whatis happened to Lydia. Andrae? Sheis no longer bright and gay; She has been so very strange, Since that last Informal day. Mildred Beck so happy and gay, Had a bid to a iiPromi, one day; But exams came in the way And that was the end of the iiPromi, they say. I wonder what Elsie Buckstaff Will do, When she leaves her college dear? What Will ever become of her, When she hasnit her bunch near? Aileen Carney, tall and dark, Someone said she was a shark. Have you heard of the iimusieal maid ?ii Ora Christianson is her name; She is known so well, that lill Not trouble to speak of her fame. Miriam Chute was an H. E. fair, tho used to 000k and sew; But now that sl1e,s a Sophomore, She takes iiMathii and such, you know. Agnes 001111 to colleue leamo, Upon a dragon riding: The girls were all so shocked and scared, That now she keeps him hiding. Adelaide i 11111111i11s was a 11iu1 little girl, So plump and jolly and round; With hair always in a talwled curl, Lamrhter prevails When she is around. Margaret l 11111111i11s was a wise little maid, She changed her murse from an H. E. staid To keep her sister 0011111a1113li111 afraid Helene is fair and fair to see, A most happy little maid is she; But grief came to Helene one day When she in a car, hoard a woman say ThaVs peroxide hair! Beware! Beware; 36 rCiH Am-W.MA v? E 1917 CUMTUKA M'MW' A Helen Eggers is everyonek pet, ,Twas she who was chosen for Minuet ; She dances and sings the whole day long, And minds not at all a bell or a gong. Myrtle Eichelberg, the shark of the class, Is quite superior to the common mass ; She knows her English like a book, They say, too, she also can cook. Ruth Falkenau has a great aspiration, So she is given to fits of contemplation ; Whether or not a horse shelll ride, In Shakespearets pageant, her only pride. Dorothy Finney, so they say, Appears quite oft in manls array; A basket or baseball quite well can she hurl For mind you, shets our athletic girl! Marian Fox tries hard to please, And so she is never quite at her ease; But withal she is such a kindly maid, That 110 one is, of her, afraid. Hulda Friedrich is so very Clever, That to ape her, all do endeavor - To study so much each day, That the Faculty all will say, Send these students our way. Bernice Fulton, a tall maid, s0 straight, ls never to an appointment late; She works with a will And never is still And tries, her friends to educate. Vivian Hodgson, our captain, courageous, Studies so much, it would almost amaze us. There once was a student named Shirley, Who learned how to write very early; So good was her sight That now she can write The Lordls Prayer within a dime circle. Letha Hoskins continues to worry, Always is she in a flurry; She will burn midnight oil Oler her Shakespeare to toil, And one would think that her motto is itHurryP 37 Dorothy Hurlbutts a bright girl, they say, Her marks always soar around itAP She once wrote a song, For the Sophomore strong, She studies and works all the day. NormaKarnopp is young and sweet, She studies despite cold or heat ; In dramatics, she excells She is one of the class belles. J osephine Kapp is ambitious, they say, To tread the path of fame alway; So in solitude she paves the path Which is to illustrate her genius in tiMath? Marie Lewis does dance most divine, In dramatics also sheis fine ; We are glad she,s a Soph, And hope shetII not run off, And in the future with ttMovyh Stars dine. Bernice Lyonts very neat, She spends her spare time sweeping; She routs her roommate from her seat And sends her out, a-weeping. J ean McAlpine, to secure some knowledge Does study so each day ; We hope, that when she leaves our college, Sheql have a little play. Katherine Mcaurdy is short and dark- A lovely Hermia shetd make, I wot. Playing her part With grace and ease, By saying haughtily, ttI love you not W Marion Miller fair and petit, Among the Freshmen her friends did seek; She lives each day of work and play, And never a worry comes her way. Our little Marie Morrison, . A virtuous maid and s0 kind-hearted; We wonder what would iihapii to both If Edna O. and she were parted. A girl named Catherine Munson Does superbly dance and sing; She must be musically inclined When to school a tiVict, sheid bring. 38 fCTs H??QWUE? 029$ M'MW' Gladys Neff is the dearest young child, With heart so tender, and eyes so mild. A girl named Esther Neprud To college once did go ; Her name indeed, we,ll not forget She always hurried so. Edna Olander so tall and slow; Is calm and peaceful where she doth go; A great help to her roommate at night, For with much ease can she turn off the light. Hoch der Kaiser! We love to help rejoice. Provided Clara Ruder, Is the first to lend it voice. Where scholarship, Character and friendliness combine Gladys Ruggles, our president, is sure to shine. A co-patriot of true Teutonic blood, is Florence Schweke, Pro-Englishmen appear annoyed When round her flaxen locks, she wears ttNord-deutscher German Lloyd? Elva Shields in stature and face, Pretty enough a peacock pin to grace. Though Ruth Tufts is so little, That one can scarcely see her ; 1t,s she Who puts the basket through And makes the audience see her. Barbara Watkins, dusky maid of Arizona, Worthy daughter of Latona; As Dido governed Carthage, You rule College Basketball. To keep cool on a summer day, SO you can look your best ; Just follow in the wake and shadow, Of good old Marion West. 39 VCAM-W M y KA W'WW' A:l ' Conscientious Bessie Wolfner, Toiling, working, evermore ; First ifs French and then ifs Latin, Compositions by the score. Gay Annice Woodard, so they say, Went out for a frolic one fine day; To the movies she went N0 harm she meant Shall 1 say what happened ? 011 Nay! Irma Wumlerlichk grown serious and sedate, Since 81102.9 had to spend her time Quieting her roommate. When you speak of Vera Wunderlich, We think of the qMWner Hat? For this young woman, after seeking hard, Is the 0110, Who found that. Amanda Zeisler, so Wis said, With nature sweet and wisdom head ; Refuses all offices great and small, And turns her energies to basketball A perfect tribute to the white and red. 40 . ?EHEWIEWUWDE W'MW' QPHOMORE SEN EET WISCONSIN, MILWAUKEE-DOWNER COLLEGE, M JUDGE RENDERS DECISION Judge Hurlbut of Sophomore Court of Manners Hands Down Decision, Making it a Criminal Offent-e for Freshmen t0 Precede Upper Class- men Through Doorways.

M'WW' KT: EiWVEUBi-t 795 A Fairy Story FROM VOL. I 0F ttMIGHT COME TRUEs? In a far distant region called ttCollege Town? is the palaee-home of a kind old queen and her four lovely daughters ; the oldest daughter is very graveegarbed in black, flowing robes; and most important, the three others are care-free and rollickingeand ready to do or dare. One day, when the queen was very happy she summoned her ladies-in-waiting and spake in this wise: ttNow, my daughters, the princesses have been dutiful and good for many moonsemethinks the time is ripe to give them pleasure lest care turn their tresses ashy and the glow desert their damask cheeksft So, by the light of the royal candelabra, they planned a magnificent fete-Week, called ttpromttewith tinkling music lastingr far into the night, inspiring dainty feet until the signals of the dawn should dispel the paling stars; and the four lovely daughters rejoiced, Whilst gladsome tears gushed from their exquisite orbs. Then all was haste and preparation, and happiness reigned supreme. But the next morn was grey and dismal, for the queen and her attend- ants had pondered far into the night, and had cruelly decided that the youngest daughter should be barred from entering the enchanting garden of the midnight dance. Now, this was indeed very wicked, for the youngest daughter was bub- bling with youthful exurberance and felt crushed by her sad fate. And then came the party! The queen, with her three daughters, swept to the awaiting coach-and-four-and, alone in her dark and empty room, stood the youngest princess, her innocent blue eyes Wide with wonder at the rank injustice, and her red lips quivering with indignation. Sighing in despair, she picked up a book, but, alack, the story was of Cinderella, and moaning dismally the forlorn child uttered: ttOh! How like am I unto this unhappy maidenW and, throwing the volume from her, she wept copiously, and when exhausted by her sobbing, she raised her headelol her tears had formed a tiny lake about her, and swim- ming from out the salty depths was a ligureesmall, dainty, and very grotesque. tiOh! Who are you ?tt she gasped in Prunnellawy tones, and the hgure answered, ttI am the Elf of Freshdom. I guard all things fresh: the dewdrop, the water- cress, and that variety of the rose, called tgirl? ti Then, raising his wand, he transplanted her to a land of beauty, a land where happiness was enthroned, and misery was fast in a dungeon. Here, indeed, was forgetfulness; but the Elf 0f Freshdom forgets nothing, and leaving his protegee amid her happy surroundings, he swam down the ocean of Bliss, out into the world below. Hasteningr t0 the gay and festive scene, where the happy princesses were sipping nectar from goblets 0f shining plantinum, he stilled the orchestra and thundered: ttThe die is cast! For your unfeeling brutality, life shall depart from you P, and as he spoke they 50 m: H Euamama 795 m'mW' Extracts from the F reshman Magazine THE SUNSET Golden sunset fading away into the dusky twilight, Colors harmonious of every hue; Linger longer and let the water, Play with your irridescent blue. Gaze at your beautiful picture In the glassy mirror of gray, That the rolling white clouds May clothe the path of departing day. Sunlight fading so swiftly Over the distant curve of gray; Brighten anotherk darkness; And return to your western way To awaken dawning day! Goodnight, sun, god of the sleeping earth, T0 far lands take your way; Then race silently back again, T0 the world of another day. And When your light Lies bright upon the earth in golden rays, Bring to us all the thought of God, And the wish for a better day. MARJORIE GRAY. FRESHMAN FASHIONS What do Freshmen care for fashions, For new boots and shoes and things, Or for waists and dresses many, Or for chains and pretty rings. r They are not the vainest creatures That this college 0,9T has soon; They care not for pretty colors, Only for the white and green. But therck sonmthiug which they covet, And thoytll have it, I know that, For theytro very fond of millhfry, And thoytre bound to find that hat. GRACE YOLLMAR.

KEEEEZQEQE ?CTH HEZQEQEEJZX " The Junior H. E. Flyer-LimitetP9 t"Why should anyone want to go to college for Domestic Science when they can learn to cook and sew at home ?t, is Mr. Skeptiets usual question. So to obliterate this idea from his mind forever we will bring,r him Vis-a-vis with the innumerable things we do in one day,s journey on the Jr. H. E. Flyer. Escorted by Engineer Crooks he entered Kimberly diner. Yes, just as he expected, there were girls with aprons 011 who would probably fuss an hour or so just to make something no one could eat. But what was that they were talking about, and why didn,t they cook? ttShft said the engineer, ttthey are having a conference with their Chef, Miss McNair; listenW Such phrases as ttsugar industryf, tteomposition of milk? ttprineiples of cooking? ttbalancetration of meals? floated to his ears. Well, he never thought this was what they did, and it would be interesting to know about these things, but why didn,t they apply them? That was the trouble with col- legesetoo theoretical, nothing practical. Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by a general stir in the room. The girls were doing things now; one walked toward him with something. He looked at the plate she offered him. 011 it was a piece of tempting lemon pie-his favorite! When no one was looking he would try it. Htmethat did taste goodeeven better than his mother used to make. He would eat all of it. He turned to Chef MeNair. ttBy what artifice was this produced ?,, he demanded. 4"Phat? she sniilingly replied? is one of the secrets of the H. E. education? ttBut, how-y "Come, come? said Engineer Crooks, ttwe must go further? They entered Fashionville. ttAnywayf Mr. Skeptic consoled himself, ttthey wontt do anything but seW'here and anyone could pick that up if she tried? But what were they cutting out of that paper, and what was Mademoiselle Goldsworthy talking about? It sounded like geometry. He watched one of the girls. Oh! he had it! They were making patterns just like those one saw in the magazines. How very unusual all this was "How is it accomplished?,t he asked. ttThatf, said Mademoiselle Goldsworthy, :tis one of the secrets of the H. E. education. ttWe must hurry, interrupted Engineer Crooks, ttfor there are many more wonders to be seen? They entered the Chemistry Department. Why, he hadn,t known that this was included in Home Economics and anyway, What was the exigency of it? ttWatehf advised Engineer Crooks. Everybody was working energetically on some experiment, and as soon as one was hnished it was recorded in long com- plex formulas and equations. How did one learn to reason out such things? ttThatX, said Miss Johnstin, ttis a secret of the H. E. course? ttWell, it might develop onets reasoning power some? conceded Mr. Skeptic, as they passed on to the Home Management Department. Here to his amazement he found the girls discussing how houses were built, what to consider in the building of them. and other such things that he thought only men were concerned with. One girl went to the board and drew, without hesitation, the plan for a whole house. What a queer thing,r to be included in an H. E. education! ttWhyett he began. Another secret? answered Engineer Crooks. And without a murmur he fol- lowed his escort to the next stop. 65 ?.CTZH HEZQJXQEQE? They entered a physiological laboratory. Could he believe his own eyes? Girls were calmly and deliberately cutting up guinea pigs under the direction of Surgeon Noyes! And they were talking about respiratory, digestive, circula- tory systems as if they were studying to be doctors instead of cooks. If they kept on like this, soon doctors would be out of work. itNoft said Surgeon Noyes, we are just learning about the commonest things of life, and this is one of the secrets ofJ ttOf course, of course, was his only reply. ttNow we will spend a few minutes in Artville, b said Engineer Crooks. He found himself in a room full of sunlight, and happy girls were doing all kinds of designing. ttWhy, I thought it required an especially talented 0'irl to do these things, said Mr. Skeptic to the artist, Miss Partridge. ttOh, no? she replied, ttit is just a matter of education? ttOr, in other words? he retorted, ttanother secret? ttYes, you have the right idea now? said Miss Crooks, ttbut come, we still have another department to v1s1t i, They entered the Vocal Reaction room. Here girls seemed to be learning to talk all over agai11,under the direction of Miss Wilder, who used all sorts of astounding methods to illustrate her statements. It was better than a theater-4 he would like to stay awhile! Just then, it seemed necessary to dodge an ink- bottle, and both he and Engineer Crooks,feari11g for their safety, made a hur- ried exit. thhat was a most remarkable secret in its gymnastic features? laughed Mr. Skeptic. ttYes, and now we will see some real gymnastics, replied Engineer Crooks. They entered a large room Where girls were climbing ladders, vaulting horses, and jumping ropes "Can this also be included in this remarkable course 9v he asked. ttYes, indeed, it Engineer Crooks answered, ttand it is the last secret we have to see . But, tell me, do you still think that an H. E. course can be learned in the kitchen at home. W ,7 BREAD THAT WAS NOT BRED Tell me, where is fancy bread, Or in the hand, or in the head?

Q33 A M'WW' Department of Art The history of the art department dates from 1901, when the Fine Arts de- partment was started, which then consisted of sketching and drawing from figures and casts. Several years later, about 1910, the Applied Arts department was starteds Both departments have grown rapidly; the Fine Arts department has now increased its number of students to 140, and the Applied Arts to about 30. Be- sides the regular students in the College and the Seminary ,there are many city people who study art in the studios. The object of the art courses is not only to instruct the students how to draw and design, but also to increase and further their appreciation of art. The courses are so planned that they can be pursued along with the regular academic work, and also so that some students can take it as a special course. Many new courses have been offered in Fine Arts within the last few years: design, pictorial composition and illustration, costume design, and in- terior decoration. The distinguishing features of the Fine Arts department are the design which develops the creative faculties, the composition, and the class lec- tures, a method which is unique in art education. In the Applied Arts department jewelry tincluding casting and enamelingy, silver-smithing, and leather work are now done. Many interesting articles are made from copper, silver, gold, and leather, ranging from pins and rings to lamps, desk-sets and teapots. Within the last few years many articles have been exhibited in the Chicago Art Instittue, an .. honor which was granted to only one other school. This year also, the College has Offered an A. B. degree with either Fine or Applied Arts as a major. 98 KEEZQJEQEQE F ield Armies Athletic Association OFFICERS GLADYS MACDONALD, 17 .........................................

KEEZQZZQEEE 110 K FHEWFQWUWDm A M'WW' Mobilization of Securities THE ENDOWMENT FUND On Connneneenient Day of 1915, President Sabin announced that $76,000 had been pledged to the College Endowment Fund on condition that $300,000 be raised. Last June at their annual meeting the trustees had decided to add at least $300,000 to the endowment fund which then amounted to $215,000. During the summer and early fall months $20,000 more were pledged. Thus at the be- ginning of the present school year nearly one-third of the desired amount had been subscribed. These generous gifts were very encouraging, and the trustees, faculty, alumnae, and students determined to make every effort to raise the remain- ing two-thirds by June, 1916. Last October, Mr. Pritehett 0f the Carnegie Foundation visited the college and gave a brief address in assembly. He Visited several classes and seemed very favorably impressed with the kind of work which the College is doing. How favorably impressed he was we later learned by the announcement that the General Education Board, which he had represented, had voted to subscribe $100,000 to the EndowmentFund. Before this time the trustees, encouraged by many generous gifts, had raised the amount from $300,000 to $500,000. The conditions of the contribution of the General Education Board required that the entire Fund be pledged in from one and a half to two years and be paid in from four and a half to five years. This large donation filled the already enthusiastic workers with new confidence and enthusiasm. The trustees became more active; interested friends and alumnae made generous pledges; and the students presented several stunts and other forms of' amusement during the year. On January eighteenth the students voted to change the Building Fund which had been started in 1911-15 to the Endowment Fund. This fund amounted to $1,045.75 and the students determined to raise at least $500 more before June, 1916. Basketball games, a penny fair, a procession of the days and other stunts brought in varying amounts. With unprecedented loyalty the girls imperiled the workings of their digestive system and fearlessly faced the certainty of a blotched complexion by consuming penny and nickel bars of Endowment Fund candy. 2The Other Side of the Subject? a musical comedy which was given by the Building Fund Committee was perhaps the most original and most successful stunt which the college has ever presented; the returns from'it amounted to over $100. All pledges have not been paid, but by May 1 the following amounts had been raised by the students of the College: MeLaren-Holton Basketball game ................... $ 17.03 City students ..................................... 4.70 Junior Horne Economics Stunt ..................... 18.00 Chocolate and candy ........... . ..................... 40.39 Freshman Stunt .................................. 13.25 Johnston-McLaren Basketball game ........

On one side of a bush, plotted Boeaehio and Don Juan; from behind the hedge, came the garrulous tones of Dogberry instructing the watch; while under the big oak, the two chief actors played a little scene in real life. Beatrice, from her stump, was looking ominously across at Benedick with that same vixenish flash of the eye usually reserv ed for the fourth act, second scene. ttNo, ,t he went on, leisurely strewing his white tennis shoes with green grass- blades, quite blind to the flying sparks, I neVer saw a girl yet, that could put a bluff through successfully. ltts purely a masculine accomplishment. It takes steady nerve, andewell, it takes a man to do it, every time. Bea, by the way, have you made any arrangements yet for the mid-summer regatta? Pd like to take you if-tl Most opportunely just then, in the interests of peace, the coach came around the bole of the big tree. ttHeighehoP, in amazement, ttmy dear Lady Disdain? Why such a tFehru- ary face, so full of frost and storm and cloudiness ?,--and this a balmy J une day? Benedick looked up, for the first time in five minutes, and began to laugh tor- mentingly. ttOh, thatls her tKill Claudiot look: I know it of old. tShe will die rather than she will bate one breath of her accustomed erossnessft melodramatieally. tt tDisdain and scorn ride sparkling in her eyef ,t ttOh, t1 wonder you will still be talking, Signor Benedick. Nobody marks ou,J lt tartly. tt tAnd I would my horse had the speed of your tongue, and as good a con- tinuer. But keep your way; I have done? ,t And the impromptu, vituperative rehearsal ended in a sunnner-gale of laughter. Ever since the kindergarten circle days, when Benedick had sung tgGood- morning, dear playmate, good- -n101'11i110 to you, it and chosen Beatrice for his skip- ping partner, he had liked her better than any other girl. Most of all, he liked her teaseableness; utoo wise to woo peaceably? things could never become settled or stupid between them. In one of the interims of rehearsal, he held out half an almond to Beatrice. ttBea, will you eat a filipine with meeaml settle the dispute? If a girl suc- ceeds in bluffing 1110 before the Fourth of July, you win; and if 1 bluff you, I wi11- see ?ethe winner to choose his own forfeit? And Beatrice, being fond of almonds, took up the gage, and ate her half, darkly planning the while. Presently she helped herself to another one, ehummily asl'- lng- ttGoing out in the country with the gang tonight to see ttLads of the Lazy S W Benedick looked rather queer. ttWell nowo. V111 sorry. Cousin Mary, some elderly relative of Motherts from out West-Montana or New Mexico or sonlewllereeis coming, and Mother wants me home to help entertain herf, Bea stared suspiciously and unbelievingly. Any excuse from Benedick, s0 glib and oily as that one, had something wrong with it. She would need to hurry, or he would be crying ttflhecktt before she had even started. 136 KTH 1917 CUMTij AM'WW' A She wondered again that night after dinner, when she noticed Benedichs red pony, Snip, tied at his side gate, a long grey cloak dangling from the saddle horn. ml'hat doesntt look much like entertaining an elderly cousin? she mused. Moreover, she had just received a distressed telephone message from Benedick's mother, asking that their car should go to meet the expected guestts train; Bene-' dick, it seemed, had not returned yet. iiNot returned yetefrom Where ?t, she pondered. The red pony pawed restlessly until he dug a hole in the turf. The empty saddle had a most enticing look. She wished--what fun to block Benediekts plans -whatever they were. PerhapSebut it was time for the train now. tiThe Lads of the Lazy Sh proved about as bad as a play could be, drearily commonplace and full of horse-play; quite devoid of women, the cast consisting chiefly of cowboys who cavorted awkwardly over the stage, entangled in their own lariats. The sophisticated Stratford Playerseattending from professional courtesy in a bodyeyawned, and thought of the time to go home. Meanwhile, out in the black, rose-scented J une night, a mysterious lady in a long gray cloak might have been seen, riding a red pony. Her hands burrowed down under the saddle-blanket, tight against the ponyis shoulderseand at every cross-road she laughed and let him choose his own road. Sometimes she galloped long miles; and always, then, she sang the same song of gypsy wandering. An old farmer, milking late, lifted his head and listened. iiSome joy-rider, likely? A literary tramp, under a hay-cock half asleep, listened and quoted sleepily t0 himselfe And by the moon, the reaper weary, Listening, whispers lTis some fairy V ' Lady of Shalott-only as it happens, there iSIft any moon tonight? The solitary joy-rider came finally out of the dark ways to a noisy, lighted hall, and read the big white sign nailed up by the doorze Lads 0f the Lazy S Given by the Boy Scouts of J aekson County Benefit Performance. Proceeds to be used for The War Victims. The red pony turned in of his own accord; and smiling, the mysterious lady fished in her grey coat pocket for silver dross; but finding only coin of the fields, the daisies at her belt to offer the doorkeeper, she turned back to the rose-haunted roads again. Inside, the play was already half over; and the audienceechieiiy hilarious col- lege boysehad at last found a means of relief from its intense stupidity. Behav- ing after the manner of Elizabethan audiences, they were showerintr the players With a running fire of e,on1nient jeers and mt- ialls Indignant, scandalized little Bea was raging. iiOh, 1 could kill them! Suppose they act that way for us next Friday night. Do they take this for a field-meet, I wonder ?,i The ttOld Ti111eriL-leading man, stage manager, and coach, all in one- was evidently some old broken- down actor He had a certain pathos about him, and a look 1n his face of hopefulness long since worn thi11,of slow disappointment 137 WCAMiw;MAj ethe look of a weary clown with only a very tiny jest in his heart. He brought out his stale jokes, watching hungrily for a laugh. Once Bea started the applause herself. The rest of the Stratford Players joined in; and the Old Timer, with surprised responsiveness, brightened and sprang to his work like an old tireehorse at the Whistle. t"Phatts right, old duck? yelled an approving voiee. ttStay with the game! Hey, fellows, hets struck a new gait now. Look at the old bird! Ain,t he the daisy ?e-a regular sunflower patch W Whereupon, the comments of the fickle audience became highly approving, and the applause s0 continuous, that most of the time nobody could hear the ac- tors. The Old Timer was loudly commended as an ttAl eorkerft lauded for the ttsoug and dance he was giving them? and assured that he could make Otis Skin- ner of Charlie Chaplin take a back seat any time; and finally, at the end of the third act, given an uproarious eurtain-e-all. At last, the old man came out, and stood quietly waiting, with some new, in- definable dignity upon him, which won silence. It was a queer sort of curtain speecheinore of a human document than most. He told them about his past life; how he had lived with stage-folk alwayseborn in a green-rooni; how he had started out with the highest kinds of hope, playing minor parts, but confident always that better ones were coming, that he would make a Henry Irving some day; but some- how, the recognition hoped for had never eameeinstead, only slow grey disillusion- inent. ttSo you see, fellows? he finished with a sad little crooked smile. ttYou dorft need to rub it in. l know better than any of you, how many kinds of a failure I am. I can even see the joke of it, too; il' l were out there where you are, ltd be howlingr my head othhut this side of the footlightseitelooks different. Anyhow, as the preaehers say, tlet us have a good collection, for the war Vic- tims, and three cheers for the Boy Scouts, whose show this isP And the college men gave them with a sudden friendly thunder. That last act was curious to watch. Somehow, from beingr a dead thing, the story came to life under their eyes. The men watched the Old Timer with that same, keen, tense enthusiasm which they give to all game fighters. Bea sat out on the edge of her seat in a perfeet shiver of excitement. At the end, She jumped up, crying, ttCome, letts go behind the scenes, and Find him? Back in the gallery, the erstwhile seorners were chantingquhatts the mat- ter with the Old Timer? IIO,S all rightW A great mob of them went, Bea pulling off her flowers, as she ran. At the door of his dressiug-rooni, she was just in time to hear a jubilant, familiar voieee ttWell, fellows-da pretty good stunt, thatP, as the Old Timer whirled around, snatching off his wig,r and niake-up, and disclosing to her amazed unbelieving eyes, the mocking, triumphant face of Benediek. ttFlowersefor me, Beatrice?

H1' feel just like a slice of hot excitement, held under a cold faucet? ettAnd I think well make it the inid-sunilner regatta yes Bea ?,t She pinned the Howers hack on again with a Vicious stab 0f the pin, and made a sudden retreat into her Lady Disdain manner. tt t1 yield upon great persuasion; t she quoted, halt erossly, half laughing. 138 ,, K ttBy this light? he laughed back, tt 1 take thee for pity.,,t On the road home, Benediek told Beatrice all about his theatrical venture. ttThere was only one thing that spoiled it? he ended. ttYou know 1 had planned to bring Snip, and ride him right onto the stage in that last scene. It would have made an awful hit. I had him all ready, and sent a boy after him; but in the meantime, somebody got in a little funny work and swiped himeone of those fool engineers, I suppose? J ust then, from across the black field, there came a sound of singing, so clear that they could even hear the words, ttMorning waits at the end of the world Gypsy come away-J, ttWhois that, I wonder somebody on the 01d short-cut? Sounds pretty at night? At the door, as she said good-night, Beatrice asked impishly, ttOh, by the way, Cousin Benediek, what became of your elderly relative? I hadnlt noticed your tentertainingt her--,l ttHark, Bea W Benediek interrupted i11 swift excitement, ttListen W The night was very still, and from behind the tall hedge came the slow, crunch- ing sound of a horsetsfeet 011 the gravel. ttHe,s bringing Snip back! Just wait till I get hold of-et, and he ran stealthily across the lawn, Bea gleefully tagging behind. Through-the break in the hedge ,they could just see a black ligure dismounting, and then a pause long enough to tie. Benediek had crept up behind Snip, just ready to spring, when softly, almost hummingly, the thief began to sing the very same song which had come to them from the black fields- ' stEver the wild world over, lass Lights of my tent be fleetg' Over the world, and under the world And back at the lastetl His pocket flash revealed a girl uneoneernetlly tying his own grey cloak t0 the back of his saddle, on his pony. ttOh!

And so Benetliek found himself in the absurd position of confederate to a robber-lady, covering up her tracks. Behind him, he could hear the soft crackle of the hedge, as Bea leaned over. ttNice pony? he remarked. iiIS he yours fw ItNo, he belongs to my cousin Benediek. Thanks for your help? And then, as she turned, for the first time Benetlick saw her face; and thunderstruck, like a flash, dropped the hulPs eye at a safe distance from his own. From the hole in the hedge came a mocking, jeering voiee- ttWell, Cousin Benedieketlf a girl succeeds in blufling me before the Fourth of Julyheyou remember? 1,11 take my filipine back again if you pleasee-thanks L0 Cousin Marys eonnivanee? - And the new elderly-young relative laughed. ammmmm A mem' ADA PORTER, 1917. 139 AMAWAMA TTHE 1917 CUMT .W.M.W9:7$ 140 'KZEZQKQEEEE t ....,s-. n a v-Ih W ...J9n mu. 4 it :- bNESs rpm- D'llj Proo'rl'rm r" x NW: T'NLP 0v" hunt with Commencamenf corvesPchr-iiwq r9 nur'hsfuv Fn-MIISI The Heavens 0f Milwaukee-Downer College BY PROF. MINOR ASTRONIMICUS, PH.D. The heavens of Milwulikee-Downer College are very brilliant, and at almost any time of the yiar senle Constellations are particularly beautiful. Cenimeneement tThe North Start marks the center around which 0111' in- terests swing, for it nmrks either the commencement of another school yeafs work if we are under-elassmen, or our work in the worhl if we are Seniors. The great constellation, Preparedness tGreat Dippew always swings around Commencement With its two pointers, Scholarship and Breadth 0f Visen ever pointing toward it. A few degrees from this constellation in the Eastern sky, the Pageant Onlge Dracoi winds. Still further to the left the Crown of the May Queen tNorth- ern Crowni van he seen in its mellow radiance, and in the same degree of lati- tude the head of examinations tSerpenti shines brightly. A little to the North of East, is a large constellation of particular interest to the Freshman, for it is Hunting the Hat tHunter 0r Bootesi, and in it 25 degrees from the handle of 141 .::::::.:wa Preparedness shines the seeond 0f the twenty brightest first-magnitude stars, the Hat tAreturnQ. - Turning to the Western sky, we pause directly overhead at the Zenith of our heavens, the Daily Program, and then, dazzled by the brilliance of two stars very close to the Zenith, we discover Work and Play, the Twins tCastor and Pollux in Gemini; 3 A little to the North of W est on a direet line with the largest constellation in the East, is found another equally lartre 011e, Sports tAurigat, the brightest of its stars being Regatta tCapellat. ttAu fond de P horizonf and 011 a line with the Serpent in the East, shines the lone bright star, Mid-Years tAldebaran or BulPs eye in Taurust fast dropping out of sight as we near commencement. Directly in the West is the most brilliant and most beautiful of Iiiid-winter eonstellations, Christmas tOriom. In it we recognize the Pageant and Lantern Night tBetelgense and Belletrixt, the most mysterious and beautiful of Nebulae, Christmas Day as the middle star in the belt of the giant, and the Fair tRigeU as that deep red star just 011 a line with the eye. Turning to the South we suddenly stop in awe at the splendor of the first of the twenty-first magnitude stars, which, with our eyes upon commencement, we are wont to forget. it is Opening Day of School tSiriust in the constellation of Opportunity tCanis Majori. With just a glance at the long ehain of events tHydrzU that follow the Opening Day, we turn for a last glance at the Northern sky. Sinee we last looked, two other beautiful stars have swung into View at the very edge of the Northern horizon. One is hiring Career tAlgoU, the most puzzling and inter- esting of stars, in the constellation of Futurus tPerseust; the other, Marriage tVegat, around which astronomers say the Heavenly bodies will swing eventually With it as their center of the Universe instead of Commencement tNorth Start. T HE PLANETS Two of the planets, Worth tMercuryt and Love tVenusL are nearer Light tSum than we are, and can be seen only in the path ot'.Lig11t. Worth toften called True Wortm, visible at certain seasons, hovers around Light, and is at present a morning star, easily visible at dawn. Love Ovenust is now in its most favorable position with respect to 11s, and can be seen in the early evening about 25 degrees from Light. it is exceedingly conspicuousethe most brilliant object in the heavens except Light. Persistence tMarst is in Personal Intiuenees tCancert at present, and is past opposition. It is visible each day until about 4 A. M., when it wanes for a few hours. When this planet is on the same plane with Light as we are, it is very radiant, but when directly in opposition, we receive very little light from it. Happiness tJupiterL brightest of the planets next to Love, is at times 142 KT ZHEZQiEQE via?! VA visible in the morning and at other times in the evening, but is nearly always to be found.

A space would make a horrid spot Upon this nice neat page, So Pm supposed to make a blot, And oh, it makes me rage.

I will have writ twelves lines And only needed ten! J . L. ' v Am-W-MA ZHEMLQJZVQBDQEZDXI Milwaukee-Downer Anthology tWITH APOLOGIES 1'0 EDWARD LEE MASTERS MYRTLE EICHLEBERG 0h, Life was so wonderful to me, And everyone in it was so good! They told me that the strong hated as well as loved, So I stayed awake nights Trying to think of faults in my friends. 1 always spoke out just what I thought Only because I eouldnjt help it ; People would laugh at me often, But then that was all the more fume Life held so 11111011 fun always! KATHERINE MCCURDY They got me into the biology class 111 Milwaukee-Downer, and tried to make me believe In Evolution. I guess I knew. They tried to tell 1110, too, that I was wrong Vt he11 I said the 11 orld was getting worse exery day , But I vanquished all with my argumentse There was 110 one could argue with me. MISS JOHNSTIN 1 did not try to make chemists out of my students. Chemistry was not put in the Freshman course for that. But to make the girls thi11k,.a11d to train their minds. I often told them this, but they seemed to think That they were smarter than 1 was when I was in college And could get their lessons by reading them through? CURINNE LANDGRAF I was the musical genius of the college; It was a lot more interesting composing music Than studyi11gr.E11glish Literature. I wrote the music for the Founders Day Hymn, And wrote and directed a musical operae Worked till I was nearly deade But everyone said it was a great success; My mother came from home to see it. Oh! I had a good time out of life. My life was full of music and dance. I wish I were backeitts too quiet here. EDN 1 01 1NDER I never said much, but I saw a lot of things, Maybe life was worth living, and maybe not- It all depends upon your point of view. People said I was quieteWell, I preferred to be; Anyone can talk. 144 KT H EZSEZEEEZDX A SENIOR Oh Juniors! Ye debaters of the subjects 0f your Sociology, I, who lie here, was a Senior, Talkative, contentious, versed in the arguments Of the wisest men; But in discussions With you Upon divorce on grounds of ttincombatibility of temperamentt, Or the relative importance 0f marriage and a career I came to long for peace and quiet, And to know that, in your vicinity Only those who strive mightily, shall possess it. A FRESHMAN I wanted to go away to college To have some fun before I faced the cruel, hard world, So I consulted fifty catalogues or more, And finally chose Milwaukee-Downer as my goal. The tales of beach parties on Lake Miehigants broad shore, 0f boat races on the river, hat traditions, lantern night, And all the sport throughout the year, Appealed to me. I went, in September, A11 prepared to have the time of my young life, I joined all the clubs I could, Dramatic, Glee, etc. Went out for hockey, track, and rowing With a little basketball and tennis on the side. Then everything began to come at once, and no let-up; I knew I had bitten off more than I could chew. But still kept on, fool that I was. Then came Semesters, and I landed here beneath the turf; A joke on you, Milwaukee-Downer? ANOTHER FRESIIMAN The Sophomores played all sorts of jokes on me; They took my clothes off the hooks, And tied them into knots, while I was away Studying my Latin; and made me believe I had to take my umbrella to fire drills. And when the first Hat banquet came along They got a goat and made me ride it Up and down the hall, and other stunts as bad. That,s why my cornerstone is laid And my memorial tablets are erected. MISS BROWN I used to be a teacher of English at the collegee Though there wasn,t anything 145 QEZQZZQEEE That we didn,t discuss in my Classses; If the girls wanted to know about marriage, Or divorce, or religion, or politics, They took an English course with me. Sometimes I would feel so enthusiastic and joyful I could hardly keep it all within me,a Other times the unresponsiveness of my pupils Was very depressing. But life to me was always gloriously interesting, So vital, and rich, and full. MIss REYNOLDS I loved my work as a librarian, but for certain things, And they were almost too heavy for human to bear. But 1 took my lot with apparent complacency Until someone purloined ttMoral Ethicsh from the library And never returned it. . What was there to do but give up the ghost? BETTY FAVILLE Oh! Life was a lot of fun! I played tennis, roller-skated, hunted the hat and everything; : U was one of the Hat girls in 1916aI have on my Hat pin nowl There was always something to do. John 01137 brotherl used to come down for informals. I loved to go to informals. I had a baby niece named after me, too. MARGUERITE STOCKWELL I was president of the Student Government Association; It kept me busy, but I liked it Because I got to know all the girls. I loved Milwaukee-Downer, and did all I could for it Such as working for the Endowment Fund, and in the Y. W. C. A. I would like to be back there working now. RosALIE OPPENHEIMER Alice Gronauer, Hermoise Levy, and I came way from Tennessee To go to school at Milwaukec-Downer College. We liked it, too. It was hard work at first, but after you got on to it It wasntt so bad? , There were a lot lot things to do besides regular work, And we went in for everything. Alice made both Class and college teams in several sports, And then we took parts in plays and things. Oh; we had a good time, all right! 146 ?EHEZQXQEEE Mrss FORD thtudentsf 1 would say, ttAre your notebooks ready? But they never were. The Golden Age never came, Although my students were under my tutelage, Some of them, four years. They learned about Charlemagne, Caesar, Washington, Bruce, And learned how to write eascellent ten-minute papers. They handed in very good, yea! very line, reading slips: My ttNay, nay, Paulinelsl, grew fewer, And ttExcellanza, Mademoisellell more frequent, But the notebooks were never ready when the Last bell rang. AXEL I felt most comfortable when' I was sitting in my basement Smoking my pipe, with my feet up on the table, But just as I was settled Mrs. Stahl would call ttAxel! AxelW And there Pd have to fix a window, or a bell, Or an electric light, Or put up scenery for a show the girls were giving, Or more the pianos for one of those recitals; The water coolers always needed to be filled, too. Milwaukee-Downer was all right in its way, But Pm glad Pm no longer there. J OHN ALLEN I knew the Milwaukee-Downer girls well, I was in a position to-being motornlan on a Hartford car. They were nice girls. One thing always made me mad though- When we were in a hurry and a big crowd was waiting To take the car, thefd all stand back and waste time Letting certain girls get on first. I never could see any difference between The ones who got on first and the ones who waited. They always gave up their seats to women who were standing. It looked so nice and polite That I told my own daughter to do it, too. 147 "tamawaea 0:195 A M'MW' The Harp A long mirror 011 the opposite side of the wall reflected her form as she sat playing on the harp-reilected her slender unringed lingers, the pink sprigged muslin dress, with a tiny rosebud 011 the left shoulder and the eleally cut profile, eameo-like 1n outline, with a single curl nestling on the nape of her neck. ttYou re very like the picture, said a serious looking man who sat in a chair close by, watching her intently. ttMost girls of today try to diverge as far as possible from the lovely, old-fashioned ideal. That picture appealed to me as few pictures ever have, but the realitye-W. And his voice trailed off into silence as he only looked at her. ttOh, 1 love old-fashioned things? she said. ttThatts why father got me the harp when I was still quite a little girl. 1 dorft believe in suffrage at all, and I can,t stand girls who are always trying to imitate men? ttIt was strange? he mused, tthow long it took for me to find the original of those pictures. It was in New York, in a little out-of-the-way picture shop that I first saw a specimen of your father,s workeit was the ttSpinning Wheeltt, I believe -and although I admired the execution and delicacy of tone tremendously, it was even more the sweet little subject in the Puritan gown who appealed to me most of all. And then, afterwards, I saw others of his pictures, of even more perfect workmanship, and there was the same sweet girl looking out at me from the frame. I searched and searched until I met your father, and he said I might have a Chance to meet the original, and now that Pve met her, Itve decided that the original transcends all studies of herself? The girl lowered her eyelashes, glanced demurely down, and looked as if she would have liked to blush, but scarcely seemed able to. tTm not used to having things like that said to me? she replied. ttYou know, I ve hardly met any men at all. Father and I have been all in all to each other, and he has talked so much of my mother that I seem almost to know her, although she died when I was very small. h It1 wonder if your father would paint me a picture of you just as you are now erunning your fingers over the strings and looking wistfully off into the distance. Besides there are several other pictures of you Which I was unable to secure at the dealers. Do you think your father could get them for me 1W ttWellf, she replied hestitatingly, Itfather is very busy now and his only unsold pictures are those which he meant to keep for himself. But stillemaybeft ttWill you do your best for me then? You know how anxious I am to have them. I really must go now, but I will telephone you tomorrow to find out about the pictures? He arose slowly and as he stepped out of the shadowed corner where the harp stood, he was revealed as a tall man, with eyes like a boy and a mouth Which seemed peculiarly sensitive. The girl arose also and bade him goodnight. No sooner had he gone than a man of thirty- e-ight or forty, slightly inclined toward being fat, and wearing a smoking jacket, entered the room. tZIaquita, vous etes une artiste, une artiste, ma Cherie. That harpts a fine accessory. You must give me credit for that at least. He,s good for at least two hundred on those pictures, dontt you think so? A new gown for you, and a stock of champagne for mef, 148 ?CTH HEZQZZQEQ: 795 qull, at present ltd like a cigarettef said the girl. tSimmering away demurely all evening like thateitis wearing on the nerves, 1 tell you? ttI should rather think it would be for you, J aquitaf he replied with a kind of quiet sarcasm. The girl drew back offended. ttlel hate you when you talk like that, Fran? ttOh, simpering all evening has made you unduly nervous, Jaquita. Here, have one? He took a cigarette from out his battered silver case, and put it between her soarlet lips. tiHere, I will light it? He leaned over her and skillfully lit the cigarette. She sank easily down in the chair beside him and the two as they smoked together laughed long and merrily over the simplicity of the man with the bofs eyes and sensitive mouth. MARY MORSELL, 1917. Florinda the Freshman Or The Adventures of a Modern Maid Being an exact representation of a View of the higher education of our sex altogether obsolete today. Moral: There lSII,t any. It was the dawn of the great feminist movement; in fact it was nearly morning as you Will presently see. For the narrative about to be related con- cerns the adventures of a guileless maid who fared forth from the shelter of her parental home and her mothers tender care in to one of those sanctums in Vthll the lamp of learning bums most britrhtly. And why this rude severing of the bond? Why in her tender years was Florinda thus hung upon a cold and heartless college world? Gentle reader, I will tell you. Florinda wished to he emancipated! Her progenitors had, for countless generations, cooked and sewed and married, and then, need I add, cooked and sewed some more. Such was not for our heroine. The great time movement had grasped her, it had quite encompassed her and she decided to live! With this end in view she bought twelve large banners, a chafing dish, a Harrison Fisher picture, a bright red sweater and an application to Knowall College. What more could he needed? Florilula fared forth! Her parents and brothers could not leave the farm work to take her to the station, so the hired man drove her there. The spirit of freedom was beginning to touch the soul of Florinda. The dreams of her poetic nature would at last he realized. Ah! as soon as the train whistled itself into the station, she jumped onto it and sat down on a nearby seat. How her little heart fluttered? Two huge tears stood out in her big brown eyes as she thought of her mother and father and brothers who would 110w be left at home to do all of the w ork. A pitiful but willinu saCIitiee 011 the altar of the liberation of women! Liberation from the grinding degrada- tion that the tradition of the ages had imposed upon her sex! So inextricably hounded was she by her uplifting thoughts that she failed to observe the entrance 149 WCAMAW.MA3. of new passengers until she found herself the center of a group of laughing girls, all of them hugging each other. They at once started to embrace Florinda, so she felt thoroughly at home. Reader, can you guess the joyful surprise that was in store for our little friend? Yes, that is right. They were all going to Knowall College. e The journey was an eventful one. Several dashing youths from a nearby university made engagements with the girls to call the following night and to attend the next dance. Florinda felt that her first taste of college was all that could be desired. It was only three hours later that she found herself at the door of her future room. She had convinced the faculty of her proficiency in Latin and English by reciting the famous lines, ttld est tempns fugit evant erieft and, ttln the spring a young inants fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love? In mathematics she had obtained the Brilliant prize because of her solution of. the well-known prob: lem, ttlf no cat has eight tails and one cat has one more tail than no eat, 110w many tails has one cat 12:, Her heart was beating as she entered the room, for she felt that here indeed she was on the threshold of her college career. But her home-siek little soul took on new courage with the sight that met her eyes. There were at least a dozen girls in the delightfully ehaotie room and every one of them eating,r chocolate creams and fudge. They cast affectionate arms around her, greeted her cordially, and in short made her one of them. Florinda took her sweater out of her box, tied a wide red ribbon around her head, pinned 11p a banner and thus became completely adapted to her environment. Suddenly there was a rap on the door. Some one slid the candy under the bed, dumped an adjacent pack of cards into the waste basket, pushed the tennis shoes and racket under the desk and assumed an air of innocent respect. Then every one called, gCome in P, A gaunt bespec- tacled apparition of scholarly mien entered, embraced their linger tips and executed an affectionate adieu. Everyone breathed freely again. Each girl ate three pieces of fudge and five chocolate creams and became once more the ideal college girl. Florindefs wildest dreams were realized. This was real life! FRANCES TERRY, 1917.

Now, llLearningli is a gerund, that is, a verb used as a noun. As a verb it asserts actioneit hustles to learn things. That is why it gazes so earnestly across Hartford Avenue. It is in the act of Learn- ing. As a noun it names something. It names what the Seminary is full of. It is full of Learning. Of course, during vacations it is only full of furniture, pictures, and canned fruit, all of which goes to show that Learning enters with the Faculty in September; and the asserted action of Learning, with us angel Children. Alfred Tennyson, James Lowell, and most of us, started our education with Latin. Thats the only way to start. If you want to study cookery or anything else, you will encounter such things as nutriment, fructose, and radishes. There is your Latin. And then, at the end of the course tin Latini Nliss Ferris lets you serve the upper Classmen With a Roman dinner. Now all studying in the Seminary is done in Eng- t lish,eexcept what is done in French and German. In ' this, we are strictly neutral. English runs through the entire course of four years. It slows up, however, on punctuation and capitalization. tSee Woolley,s Mo- chzmics of lVrz-tingj l Nlathematics is given in two courses,ellThe l Theory of Mathematics," and iiAppliCd NIathematicsf, l The first is given by l lSS Tainsh in Room 3 from i 1:45 A. M. until 5:30 P. M.sone-half hour off at noon. The second is a competitive course given by the wealth of our desires competing With the poverty of our exchequers. Exercises are given in class Hnance With banquet accounts, fourth year party accounts, and the class gift. The science work is done in labora- tories, and consists of experiment with things known, and research for things unknown. Practical use is made of this course in reading weather bulletins; freezing ice-cream, boiling water, classi- fying plants and animals by their symp- toms, explaining allusions in literature, and proving on all occasions that the l 167 TCT: HEIQZTQEEQ student and faculty re- citals; by the tri- weekly choral practice of two hundred voices in one chapel; or by symphony orchestra concerts down in the big city. Our histrionic abili- ty finds expression in a series of theatrical per- formances. The stars of the troupe are the Charming Anita Lasche; the noble hero, Agnes Pfeffer; and the Villain, Marion Bulla- course of everything is determined by its phy- siographic conditions. The Seminary pro- vides an excellent course in music appre- ciation in the form of exquisite strains of ensemble practice from some twenty or thirty pianOS in Albert Hall, with an occasional vio- lin or a sweet out- burst of eukalelis. When this ceases, there is an awful stillness, broken by intermittent more. The ideals of the stage are rising. We are gradually edu- cating the public; after seeing our company, they demand high Class work from the down- town theatres. The Art apprecia- tion course is given to such virtuosos as Hope Hawley, and metal- smiths like Erna Tros- tel, while the rest of us look at their master- pieces with profound 168 'r v Am;WAMAj awe and admiration; and we follow these Pied Pipers to their shrines in the art galleries of the big city. Here endeth the resume of work. Now let us bring forth our playe which, by elimination includes every- thing that is not work. We sleep at night, except when we have a previous engagement, or an examination the next day. We also sleep at such odd mo- ments as when certain people are recit- ing, after the rising-bell in the morn- ing, and over Certain books. Our meals are served in a diningAroom, or in our own rooms 05c extral. Sometimes they are served in banquets accompanied by toasted infant oratory. Some times meals are served on the shores of Lake NIichigan around the camp-fire. Our social life consists of formal receptions given by President Sabin and Dean Rodman; informal teas, and evenings llAt Homeh given by the Social Service Club; birthday and psuedo-birthday parties on Friday nights; dances and cotillions, formal and informal, in masque and fancy dress or in shirt-waist dresses. Our more rugged social life takes the form of long hikes over the hills and vales of the surrounding country, tennis, hockey, baseball, basketball, and bowl- ing jousts, Skating, and coasting; all of which give us beautiful and natural pink cheeks. And ah me! the seraphic serenity is broken for a space bye-a tooth-acht. mumps singly or in pairs, lost voice, or sham head-ache-each of which is cursed in the folds of the Infirmary, and work and play move on. The Seminary is not a finishing school, for no one of us is allowed to take a nap on the idea that she is Hfinished.H If she dare attempt such a thing, she is brusquely jogged on her way by the cry for "more, more, more work, more study, more exer- cise, more spirit, more courtesy, more generosity," and always by the cry, "Sit Lux." 169 'V "FHEWW: AcUEVfDEm mwmm' Fourth Year Class Marie.

MISS SCHIRMER and MISS STARK 'CT 6 EWFQEAEUW? um Mvmmv Kiawawatm g9; M'Wm' Our Battlements The purpose of the high battlemented towers in the northeastern part of Mil- waukee is often a subject of speculation among strangers. One opinion is that they are merely for decoration; another that they are fortifications to defend the eity against pirate ships on Lake Miehigan. Their real purpose as we all know is for the protection of the young girls in our school. But why is our school fortified? Have you ever asked this question of yourself 0r of one of the faculty, and have you ever realized that the founders of our school were believers in the doctrine of ttpreparednes? long before Mr. Wilson? Our defense is .very important and 0111' enemies our often harder to cope with than those of the nation beeanse their methods of attack are so peculiar. Our special fee is lgnoranee. No deseription of any mythological monster. however horrible, eould compare with this terrible creature. He slips in slowly and 1111abtr11sively and though from our look-out towers we are ever on the watch, he sometimes penetrates into the innermost parts of our institution. Oeeasionallv he stays in hiding for quite a while, but like murder, Ignorance will out. How indeed could his presence be long a secret with shells such as tTolumbus diseovered Ameriea in 1650tt or ttAn adverb is something that comes after a veer and many others exploding daily before our very eyes. For a long time we seemed unable to keep out Idleness either by force or strategy. We finally diseovered it to be in the air like ttspring fevertt and eoneeived the brilliant idea of using; the very popular European gas bombs to defend ourselves. Thus it is proved that while our fortifications look medieval, our methods are modern. Disorder, another foe, eomes upon 11s suddenly, or probably we only fail to realize its presence until some very opportune moment sneh as an unexpected visit from a member of the faculty. Then 11111011 to our embarrassment we realize that our forces are seatteretl and no warring ot' swords can rally them. Our feet heinqr entangled in hidden snares, and in whichever direction we turn we find a debachment ot' Diserderts treons waiting to throw us into confusion. There has also been much trouble to overcome the enemy Disease, or Epi- demic. Kins: Contagion aml Conunander Carelessness have been quite successful m holding Fort Grippe. By a very clever strategic movement they have been able to poison the water which is sent to us through underground passages. Our soldiers, thinkingr themselves safe from things of this sort, behind their firm battlements have partaken freely ot the water much to their discomfort. How- ever, as the soldiers in Europe use, a kind of helmet to protect themselves against ens bombs, we have been resened from these poisoned waters by the use of spring water. In spite of this aeeount of the ernelties 0f the enemy, Sickness, we are obliged to admit that their hosts are very religious for they never fail to be drawn 11D in battle array every Sunday morning at ehnreh time. We have other toes assailing o11r fortress, some more formidable than any we have mentioned. Some are as old as life itself; some spring: so suddenly into existence that we are taken unawares and well-nigh vanquished. But on our towers pace the vartlers looking far and near for toes, while down below in the keep. the eo11rts, and the halls, goes 011 the preparation of weapons of defense: knowledge, e11lt11re. industry, and self control. Thus, you see that the battle- ments over which there have been so many speculations are of Vital importance in the lives of our five hundred cadets. A. P. 173 ,, Temptations - I, J ane Green, 011 J anuary the twenty-fifth of the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and sixteen, verily do say that being a boarder at Milwaukee'-Dowuer Seminary is very fine, but the temptations you have to suffer are not few and far between. They are many and close together. . When awakened by the rising hell, you say to yourself, ttOh, couldift I stay in bed just a little longer 2w . Then perhaps you think, ttMayhe if 1 donit wash my neck and ears this morning, 1 could lie here just a few minutes more? But you remember some algebrathat has to be made up, and jump out of bed. ' On finishing your breakfast and going'out into the hall, you come upon a small group of your friends who call you over and then ask you to join their spread which is to take place at ten-thirty that eveninu. They alsovask you to bring:r potato salad, but you are trying to live up to some standard your forefathers made, and you answer, iiSince my allowauve has run out for this month I shall have to say no, as much as 1 would like to go? . Then, after studying hard all day, you drag your weary self out for a walk. Downer Avenue has the most wonderful tempting array of stores that you have ever seenanot that you are a widely traveled personeperhaps you have been only in Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan, but any hungry school girl would say that Downer Avenue is a street of temptation. 011 going by a drug store you imagine yourself inside seated at a small round table, consuming a double hot fudge marshmallow nut sundae. Some one comes along and dares you to go in with her, but you suddenly remember a very important engagement and rush down the street at a mad pace. On the southeast corner of Downer Avenue and Belleview Place stands the greatest temptation of alleThe Downerea timovie? You stop a minute to scan 'the bill-boards labeled tiTo-Daytt in Haring red letters, You lose all consciousness of your surroundings laud imagine yourself gazing at ten reels of fascinating iilm. Perhaps you think you see Charlie Chaplin cutting comic capers, or else some dark fearsome Villain stalking about. Or perhaps it is Mary Pickford in itFauehon the Cricketh whom you see. Then you come to life with a start, realizing that it is not quite the proper thing for girls to stand in front of itmoviesti You saunter back to school, half wishing:r some one had dared you to go in With her. 011 returning, you find your roomemato dancing 3 wild tango up and down the hall and calling for you to be her partner, but you answer with a KtNo, thank you? which would make William J eunings Bryan jealous. Then you saunter off to your room and study until ttSecond Winksf and then roll into bed only to dream of the fun you would be having if you were at home. J.
