MCCORM1CKl . r The school year 1913-14 has been a remarkably satisfactory one for the La Crosse High School. Perhaps the most gratifying feature has been the large increase in enrollment over that of the previous year. This amounted to an even hundred, making a total for this semester of eight-hundred-seventy-five students, almost twice as many as were enrolled during the corresponding semester of four years ago. Then, too, the shrinkage has been very small, no more students having withdrawn for sickness, work, on account of leaving the city, and other reasons, than at any time during the past decade. All of this, of course, signifies greater and broader interest and increasing confidence in high school and the work that is being done here. Perhaps no less gratifying than this is the greater number of graduates this year, the class numbering one-hundred-twenty-five, as compared to one- hundred-four a year ago, eighty-four two years ago, and forty-four five years ago. To the analytical mind this has great significance. It shows a wonderful awakening to the advantage of a high school diploma, it means that the com- munity no longer looks upon graduation as an empty honor, of benefit only to those who attend collegesg it means the merchant, the business man, and the tradesman have come to realize that it signifies a certain intellectual attainment on the part of graduates, which gives them the advantage in fac- tory, in shop, in stores, and in office over their less fortunate competitors, and finally it seems that the high school is taking its proper place in the com- munity as a great factor, a great shop to prepare boys and girls for life and good citizenship. ' It seems to me that high schools in general, and especially our own, have made rapid strides during the past few years toward the greater development in students of those things that make for good citizenship and character. I refer to the new method of government and to the new courses designated especially to be of use to those boys and girls who step from high school into the world, confronted by the necessity of making a living. For some few years our high school has enjoyed the freedom of co-operation or self government. From the very beginning it has been a success, and yet the past year has brought about the greatest perfection so far accomplished. That is, a larger per cent of students than ever before have exercised that self control and exhibited that strength of personality so necessary for the success of this method of discipline. It has been especially gratifying to note the increasing readiness on the part of students to accept responsibility and to witness the better judgment exercised by students no older, in fact younger, than those having a corresponding classification some few years ago. Among the new courses that have been especially popular are those in Manual Training, Millinery, and Physical Education for boys. The opening Page Nu mber Seven teen li llll llf ll Ill fff7lliililiifiiililllfffl lilfff i1Qliiiiiiiiflllllfllf' II of the first semester saw our new Hixon Annex in working order. Every department was working almost up to its capacity. Courses in bench work, cabinet making, pattern making, turning, moulding, and forging were opened to students. The classes in each department have zen as large as could be accomodated and the results of the first year's att pt hzhfe been extremely gratifying. It has been the aim to plan projects of a substantial nature and to give instruction in detail as related to these larger projects. The success of this method of presenting the subjects is beyond question, as the efficiency of the workmanship on the finished product will amply testify. The wood working classes have made and installed numerous cabinets, desks, wardrobes, drafting benches, etc., in the various departments of the high school. In addition to this, each student has been given time in which to work out something for himself. Almost every individual has taken ad- vantage of this opportunity, and many beautiful and useful articles have been placed in the homes of students as a result. In most cases extra time after school and on Saturdays has been required, but this has been given willingly. In the foundry many repairs were made for the boilers in the city schools. In addition, shelf brackets were made for use about the buildingg the standards for something like fifty drafting benches for the high school and industrial schools were moulded, and other repairs made. ' In the forge room the big problem has been that of building a fire escape for one of the ward school buildings. In this connection the machine shop has been used to advantage. Next semester we expect to have classes doing regular work in the latter department. The new building with its equipment has opened up a new field for high school Work and the future possibilities of this department are great. The new gymnasium has been a delight to the boys. The pool has been especially popular. Every boy in the school is expected to take the regular class work unless excused because of participation in some form of high school or class athletics, with the result that, with a few exceptions where class schedules prevented, all boys have had some form of physical training so essential that the body may keep pace with the mind. And while all these new courses have been added for the boys, the girls have not been neglected. The courses in Sewing and Cooking have always been popular, but this year the need of instruction in Millinery was evident, so classes were organized with the beginning of school last fall. More than thirty girls reported at first, but owing to the lack of equipment to handle this number, the class was cut to twenty-five, the Seniors and Juniors being given preference. The work accomplished has fulfilled the prediction of the most optimistic supporter of the plan, and the course has become a permanent fixture. ' While all this has been going on, other departments have not suiered. There has been a remarkable interest in History and the department has grown rapidly. It was announced at the beginning of the semester that Medieval Page Number Eighteen V 1 -----------'------- mum .1-----------l ,IW ..-----------.. ul, ,---- '---------------Y-,--- Q ----------'-'----------'--- ------' I -.ul u m r 1 I. Illll,. ....... .... ...,F!efa..lull .,., ll llllll . -iia::::::,lt I. .I History would be given in addition to Greek, Roman, English, and American. So many students reported that it was necessary to organize two sections. All classes are larger a there are more than twice as many of these as there were four years ago. The Commercial de artment has enjoyed its share of growth. The sec- tions have multiplied, new methods have been instituted, a new course in Advanced Bookkeeping has been installed, and a new teacher has been added to take care of the increase in enrollment. The Science department has been called upon to increase its facilities in order to handle a larger number of students, new teachers have been added to the departments of Mathematics to handle a greater number of classesg while the English, German, Latin, and French departments have likewise grown. A total of forty-one teachers are now required to administer to the needs of the school compared to twenty-six four years ago, an increase of ifteen or something over thirty-six per cent. And with the great increase in the number of students and teachers has come an air of dignity and self dependence, and most pleasing of all, a spirit of co-operation and loyalty on the part of both, truly gratifying. ISU LQJ L91 um THE ATHLETIC YEAR lBY COACH OWEN E. HORNEI With the opening of school in September, a larger number of candidates reported 'for football than ever before in the history of the high school-about fifty men altogether. However, the great majority of this number were in- experienced, only four men who remained had played the year before. For this reason much difliculty was experienced in picking men to represent the school. The season opened with Tomah High at La Crosse on September 27. The ga.me was very unsatisfactory from the standpoint of both teams, but served to show the weak places. La Crosse finished with the long end of the score in their favor-13 to 7. On October 11, Winona was defeated at La Crosse by a score of 2 to 0. The La Crosse team played a strong defensive game but were unable to ad- vance the ball in Winona's territory. The first unfortunate accident of the season happened in this game when Bruha, left end for La Crosse, fractured his collar bone. Two weeks later La Crosse held Eau Claire to a scoreless tie in a hard fought battle. In this game, as with the others, La Crosse did not seem to have the ability to advance the ball, and fumbling was very frequent. The hrst game away from home was at Grand Rapids. Here La Crosse received the Hrst defeat of the season by a score of 9 to 0. Altho the team was defeated in this game, the playing of some of the green material was very Page Number Nineteen V X 'Ill lun- - un nl llq lm I nannnmnnummmuuuu umum ummu I. llllllllff ll ffl ffflidfziziiillllll . . l H lllll .. iillififflllllllf' -Il encouraging. On November 8, Madison was played in La Crosse before the largest crowd of the season up to that date. Madison clearly outplayed the red and black at all stages of the game. They play clean, hard, fast foot- ball, which is the best that can be said of any tean' I With a very poor record to their credit thus far in the season, the La Crosse team began preparations to meet Sparta on Thanksgiving day. The men worked with a new spirit and eagerness that had not been displayed heretofore. With several changes in the line-up, the La Crosse team went to Sparta with the grim determination to put up the game of their lives. The team was ac- companied by about 250 rooters. The Sparta team felt sure that they would win this game by a large score, and the odds in the sporty circles were on the size of the score. Altho La Crosse came out three points shy in the final count, the effect on the Spartateam was that of defeat. The La Crosse team played with the ginger and pep of a veteran team and had the loudly tooted state champs on the go every minute of play. A great sigh of relief came from the Spartan stands when the final whistle blew, and all the Rah-Rahs came from the La Crosse stands. The best results from the season can be said to exist in the amount of material left for next year. The graduation of Captain Gunderson will leave a place that will be hard to fill, but with such men as Captain-elect Fay, Bruha, Reget, Blatter, Endre, Kulcynski, Kromrey, Zeisler, and Becker as a nucleus, there should -be less difficulty in making a winning aggregation. There are several men who took more than ordinary interest in the work of the team, and to whom much credit is due for the development ol' the new men. Manager Marshall was on the field every night in football togs ready to help at any task. Other men were Spence, Puckett, and Hassett. Upon the first call for candidates for basketball, about fifty men reported, after about two weeks preliminary Work, the squad was cut to twenty-eight men. Thru the assistance of Mr. Puckett, third and fourth teams were kept working thruout the year, making a total of twenty-eight men on the Var- sity squad. Ten men from each class reported for class basketball and were held thru the year for a championship series. The total number of men taking part in the organized blfk tbzll for the year was one hundred eight. The class. championship proved an interesting race, the Sophomores winning over the Advanced Freshmen in the final fray. They were rewarded with a suitable trophy which will be placed on the walls of the gymnasium. The first team played thirteen games, losing two, one to Madison and one to Sparta. There was some question about the Sparta game, but a second game with the same team proved that La Crosse had the edge on the Spar- tans. Lar Crosse broke even in a series of two games with Madison, winning at Madison and losing here. The rivalry between these two schools, while very keen, is of the ideal type. Inlall their contests, the gentlemanly and true sportsman spirit prevails. , It was very evident this year that the annual 'tournament at Lawrence Page Nu mber Twenty II llllllif lli lfllf fliiiiiii iiiiiiliffi iiiffff fliiiiiiiiffiffillllllf' Il College was in no way a representative contest for the state championship in basketball, due to the way in which the state was divided into sections, and also the request fi in the official at Lawrence that certain elimination games be playcd Which 'id no bearing on the championship. A number of the leading high schools in the state withdrew from this contest this year, Madison High being among this numbe1'. After a thoro discussion, the mem- bers of the La Crosse team also decided to withdraw. For their good work this year the members of the team were given sweaters in addition to the ofiicial emblems. ' Altho three members of the team graduate this year, there should be an excellent team in 1915. The men who will be graduated this year are Weisse, Garder and Verket. Captain Zeisler, who was re-elected to lead the team another year, will have Meinert, Fay and Bruha from the first squad, and a number oi' good men from the second: viz., Worth, R. Zeisler, Blatter, and King, besides a larger number of men from the third and fourth squads. The individual men on the team deserve much credit for the faithful way in which they have worked. For four months every man on the team reported three times a week, with the exception of one man who missed one practice. Manager Evjen deserves much credit for the way in which he looked after the wants of the team. He was on the job all the time. At the time of this writing it is too early to predict anything for baseball or track. Everything is in .favor of a good baseball team. About forty men reported and the weather has been the best for practice. We have started with a victory, and doubtless many more will be annexed. The members of the team from last year are: Weisse, Garder, King, Meinert, and Becker. To Mr. Hassett and Mr. Fuller the B. A. A. is greatly indebted. These men voluntarily offered their services to the baseball team. They are 'both ex- perienced in college baseball and should no doubt make a good showing for the team. T The indoor track meet was won bythe Advamced Sophs with a score of 293 the other scores were as follows: Juniors, 17ig Adv. Seniors, lliig Sophs, 55 Adv. Juniors, Zig Adv. Freshmen, lip This meet brought out some good men who have been doing good work since the team has been called outside. The men who are expected to make points this year are: Captain Taylor, Adair, Reget, Zein, Stupka, Kromrey, Vifalters, Miller, and Harris, altho there are a number of others who may spring a surprise. Under the eiiicient and careful management of Mr. Gouldin, the season has been a success Iinancially. Besides outfitting the teams with first class suits, he has brought the A. A. out of debt, which is something that has not been done for a number of years. The financial side of athletics is without a doubt the most disagreeable of any. The B. A. A. is indebted to Mr. Gould- in for his sacrifice in making this phase of athletics a success. , Page Number Twenty-one 1 rrirr rr rrrtf tfllllllffff' Il , I ------- mllll ln-..........ul Illlll n...........ln Q .......... .... ....................... ..... ...nl 5 THE FORENSIC YEAR I Declarnaitoifi' ah'i:i Orgtory IBY COACH MAY V. DUNN1 I During the past year the interest in establishing the Work in oratory and declamatory upon a sound financial and professional basis has been deeper thruout the student body than in the previous years. Thru the combined endeavors of the members of the Department of English and members of the student body interested in this work, three entertainments were given, from which about sixty-seven dollars were realized. While incidental debts and expenses, incurred thru debating Work and the League Oratorical Contest held here, have depleted the treasury, there is much hope left that another year will see the Work ended with a financial gain. In the declamatory work, two elimination contests Were held at which the four highest were chosen to participate in the school contest, which was were held in general assembly, April first. At this contest, Ethel Mabie and Minnie Olson were chosen to represent the school at the League contest which was held at Sparta on April 24th. Thru Ethel Mabie, La Crosse Won second place. On the evening of April 20th, the lgoys' Oratorical Contest was held in the auditorium, at which William Walker and Orlando Hansen were chosen as representatives to the League Contest which Was held in the auditorium on April 24th. La Crosse took fourth place. While We have been unfortunate this year in competing successfully With our neighbors for honors in the field of oratory and declamatory, We do not condemn the spirit nor effort of those who have entered the Work. The lamentable part of the situation is that in a school as large as isf the High School of La Crosse, there should be such a dearth of vital interest in the most vital branch of education that man may enter-the subtle training of fthe body thru voice and posture to express, to give out the emotion of the soul. Believing that the chief reason for the lack of intense interest in this work on the part of the student body is due to the failure to comprehend the ben- efits to be derived, apart from the Winning of honors for the school, We trust that, with a clearer conception of good, gained, an increase of interest Will follow. We would suggest, not that enthusiasm be deducted from the field of athletics, but that other branches of school activity, and especially that of oratory and declamatory, be brought up to the same standard. ' DEBATE IBY COACH R. B. CARMICHAELI Resolved, that the policy of fixing a minimum Wage by state boards is desirable was the question for the inter-scholastic debate this year. Four- teen candidates tried out for the teamsf The affirmative team, which de- bated Viroqua, Was composed of Leland Mahoney, Knut Houck, William Wal- Page iNumber Twenty-two r ' I llll ' ' I ' 'll' ' fllllifgfff ' 1 ' f l IIIIII A' ' it llIll.., ....... .... ...liFeminism! . ll llllll . ..liilliliflllliaz.

The year 1951 is xl: third in the history of the Sparta-To1nah-Viro- qua-La Crosse ebati League. An invitation extended by Tau Kappa Alpha, a literary society at Lawrence College, was accepted by the league to enter into a state contest. It was on the plan similar to the basketball tournament which is held under the auspices of the same college. The Results Were: Decisions Votes of Judges Sparta .............. 2 ............ 4 La Crosse .,......... 1 ........... 4 Tornah ............,. 1 ............ 4 Viroqua ............. 0 ............ 0 La Crosse Won a three to nothing decision at home, and lost two to one to Sparta who Won the State Championship from the thirty-five high schools that entered the contest. ga fin M vlliifi A913228 ZZ will . , ADNISSJQN X5 'PHI mammisg l UfS25.3sas 5l.fJ!'il.'lV WHGM ' A' BUSY YEAR , Page Number Twenty-three ' CURSES!

The pearly gates of Heaven opened wide, and St. Peter himself appeared with folded wings, fully prepared to conduct one of his numerous examinations. So this is the Senior Class of the La Crosse High School, which, because of hard- ships brought on by the merciless treatment of the faculty, seeks admission into this eternal metropolis. Your record has been most white. Front! Toward the rear of the stately throng trudged a lanky youth with a defiant look on his face. Gee, he said to his companion, them feathers-- Orlando Hansen and Albert Seielstad, I believe, interrupted the Saint. Yea bo, even so! My sons, you have outwitted the men of the earth and the warders at the outer gates, but here is the end of your glory! Thus saying, he pressed a button and a trap door opened thru the golden pavement. CDistant curses heard from below and Hansen and Seielstad fade quickly into the steam.J Meanwhile, the gates closed behind the remaining stragglers, and, strange to say, the world moved on its axis for some years hence. SO ' Here's to the best class of all the earth: The class of merriment and mirthg Here's to the class of one year hence, May they lose no more of their precious sense! DRINK HEARTY!

Not satisfied with the last word, she also Wants the first. She is the corset needed to reduce the government waist. She is a woman who needs the poll for her vaulting ambitions. A suffragette is a sting of beauty and a joy forever. A woman who would rather break windows than clean them. A A Woman whose troubles certainly are not little ones. One who spends more time airing her' views than viewing her heirs. A woman who will spare no panes to get her rights. A woman who would rather rock the country than the cradle. A female creature, queer and quaint, Who longs to be just what she ain't. The hen that would cackle and never set Is the woman known as a suifragette. We can't efface, we can't forget her, We love her still-the stiller the better.

ROYAL HOTEL, New York City, June 5, 1924. DEAR QLD PAL: ' Here I am again, back in New York after six months of trotting around this old globe of ours. I was Very glad to find your letter yesterday morn- ing, telling me of the Alumni banquet at the La Crosse High School next week. You can bank on me to be there! I wouldn't miss this chance of seeing some of the class of '16 for the world. It was news to me that Howard Buchanan is working in the Women's Exchange. I haven't heard of him for a long time. Concerning the members of the class about whom you asked, all I can say is that in knocking about, I ran across several here and there. Gerald West- by is in the wilds of 'Africa lecturing to the negroes on The Evils of Tan- goingf' On the same trip I saw our old friend, Henry White, who is in business for himself now, selling White's Premium Hair Tonic. This, you know, is guaranteed to grow straight hair over night. Coming north by Way of Naples, I was entertained 'at the villa of the Countess Macaroni Punp- anisse Spagetti, formerly Miss H. Thompson, you probably remember her marriage in 1920 to that little dried up Italian count that all the girls in Amer- ica were chasing after. She had as her guest, at the same time, Professor William Sanders, A, B., L. L. D., C. I. D., S. O. S., X. Y. Z., of the depart- ment of Bugology at Harvard, he was there collecting specimens to take Page Nu mber Fifty-four li !l!!!!Q !f.'.' Ill fl!!Eiiiiiiiifjjililllilifl! ll! ff liiEEi!!!!!!!!!f' Il back with him. I was in London last month at the same time that the suffragettes held their annual convention, and while waiting at the corner for one of their num 'ous parades to pass by, whom should I see leading the American dmiegati but our former classmate, P. J. Yerley. I under- stand that he is now a eneral in the suffragette army, and two of his most efficient helpers are Captain Mabel Hedrick and Lieutenant Florence Kamp- schroer. I had a very pleasant trip coming across the Atlantic and met a lot of nice people. By the way, I ran across a man who tried to tell me that O. Percival Werner is traveling in China as a representative of some N. Y. perfume house! Perfume! Ye Gods! Percy must be some dude these days. We had on board quite a distinguished and interesting passenger from the ladies point of view, the famous Madam'selle He'le'le Burke of Paris, Who, I was given to understand, is quite an authority for the women on all points of hair dressing, kinks and curls being her specialty. She delights her customers, I am told, by singing grand opera at the same time she is friz- zling their hair. During the last night out, the usual ship's concert was given by some of the people. Miss Alma Bradfield, the famous aesthetic dancer, and Miss Emile Goetzman, the renouned actress, took part in it. We should have some good speeches at the banquet considering the positions of some of the class. I suppose you will get Miss Elizabeth Wolfe to be the principal speaker since she is so much in the lime light ,just now with the campaign for the senatorship of the state of Wisconsin. It would be quite a distinc- tion for the class of '16 to claim a senatoress as one of its members, eh? Well, old man, guess I've told you all the news I know concerning members of the famous class of '16, so I will close with best wishes for the success of the banquet. YOUR OLD CLASSMATE.

The front of his head is lit for kissing, But on the top there's something missing, To make you certain I'll tell you that The missing substance is not his hat.

Always wear narrow sleeves so you can slip stray drawing pencils and erasers up them. 3. Always wear something black in the rear so the person behind you will know where to wipe his pen. 4. Always wear a broad smile, or a grin will do, when you meet your dear Q?z!j teachers so they will think that you think they're charming. Flat- tery will work. Even teachers are human. 5. Wear big shoes. They come in handy. 6. Always give the impression that you're singing in chorus. This can be accomplished by a good control of the facial muscles and by sticking a book up in front of you. 7. Always stir up an argument in your classes when you don't know your lessons, and notice how the time will Hy. 8. Of course, carry a lot of books home to create an atmosphere of studiousness about you. , 9. Boys! Il you want the girls to come to you, carry a knife. 10. Always go to R. C. P. if in need of information on school spirit. , Ka' is 1120 MORE ADVICE TO FRESHMEN fOn how to raise your marksl 1. If you don't know the answer to a question that is asked, naturally bluil. If you can't bluff, join the debating societies and learn how. Don't take a chance of getting a zero without uttering a sound., You know the teach- ers like to decorate their books with zeros here and there., Furthermore, the red ink is artistic. 2. If the teacher tells a joke, laugh heartily and be sure he hears you. 3. Look intelligent during an explanation by the teacher. 4. Slip him a box of candy just before the exam. 5. Don't chew gum in class, stick it under the seat. 6. Get a seat near a person who knows something. A seat behind a person with large, broad shoulders is also very convenient. 7.

Our name when compared with other class names shows that we are the only men in school. Webster tells us that the name Sophomore has generally been considered as American barbarismn in its fundamental sense. All of which shows that in name we are above the lowly Sophomores. Webster also tells us that Juniors were formerly called Junior Sophister, they, too, having something of the Amer- ican barbarismn descent. Of course we can't say much against the Seniors, because we're afraid of them, but most of them will be college fresh- men next year, so we believe that they believe that w as freshmen, are all right. 9, . 01 tu QQ: OUR YELL!

POKE CAMA Page Number Sixty-eight 1 1 li lllllt llf ll illiiiEiiiiifiiiillliiilifli iiiliff lfiiiiiiiiiiflllllf if' II ' POKE GAMA The Poke Galna Literary Society was organized October 17, 1913 for the purpose of encouraging interest in forensics among the girls of the La Crosse High School. There were already two girls' societies in the school, but they could not accomodate the large number of girls who were inter- ested in literary work, therefore-the Poke Gama was organized to be a dem- ocratic society and to take up varied lines of work. Meetings, at which programs are given, are held every two weeks. Every member is expected to take part in the program at least once during the year. The entertainments have included musical selections, both vocal and in- strumental, readings, declamations, travel talks, and debates. Thus the girls have gained not only an interest in the work, but also .the benefits which' come from appearing before an audience. Some time ago the Poke Gama challenged the Athena Society of Sparta to a debate, and the challenge was at first accepted, but the acceptance was Withdrawn at a later date. The Poke Gama is unusually fortunate in having as members some of the girls who are most prominent in the forensics of the school. The two girls, Minnie Olson and Ethel Mabie, who have been chosen to represent La Crosse in the League Declamatory Contest for the past two years, are members, and so also are Marion Neprud and Beth Keizer, two other de- claimers. g Ethel Mabie as the iirst president of the Poke Gama did much for its advancement. The membership of the society now numbers sixty and is steadily increasing. Page Number Sixty-nine DAWSON, W. FORBES, CLARKE, M. ESCH, SHIRLEY, R. WALLACE, HARRISON, NEPRUD, KINDLEY, SCOFIELD, G.

The 'fund was started after Dust in the Eyes , April fifth. The society, which is composed of three teachers and twenty-seven girls, enjoys many social functions as Well as the dramatic Work, such functions including progressive dinners and theatre parties in which every one takes an active part. The Masquers were very proud to have as one of their members, Ethel Mabie, who received an honorary. place in the League Declamatory Contest. The girls intend to keep up their dramatic Work during the coming year. They contemplate continuing the practice of staging smaller plays before the assembly. In these boys will probably take part.

He had done con- siderable running a r o u n d that day and was glad of the chance to, sit on a wooden box and have afew words with the operator. While he sat there watch- ing the agent telegraph As the lone engine train blew the only six that the little town .- Q. . - a x ix: 5 I r ff? W f ,, ri, f KN H mr- After a little, the operator annuonced that it was time for him to leave, or his boarding house keeper would have no supper left for him, and he forthwith proceeded to lock up for the night. No one remain- ed at the station during the night, as the railroad officials did not deem it necessary in such a small place as Coalridge. Jack watched the man climb up the steep embankment over- looking the track and then sat down on his coat to finish his daily report. Jack Redmond was 'a 'E 5 I: ' , ,if , -i xii fn! ! l x ' fixulii-l xi' -,,.l!l,.!!: iliiii' f, N 'Q'5 : '!'

Ordinarily he was a good-natured sort or a person, but this evening he seemed rather morose. If those parts for that engine don't come tomorrow, I'll quit my job. The way those Valves leaked today was something Iierce, growled the engineer as he ambled towards the operator. However, the agent showed Bill no sympathy, which made him all the worse, and he soon walked out without saying another word. BILL HAVK KINS Junior in high school, and his father, who was connected with the railroad, had se- cured him a position as timekeeper on a section crew to occupy his time during the summer vacation. At the time, he thot that it would be great fun to go out into the western moun- tains even tho he did have to work with a gang of rufiiians. That will be better than camping,' he said to his father when he was told of the opportunity. But he was dis- appointed in his high expectations. Coalridge was nothing but a little borough of about fifty inhabitants sit- uated high in the Rocky Mountains.

The region was very dry and barr so wat Jack was not at all pleasedalwith .iis new en- vironment. After working in the blis- tering sun for about two weeks, he wished himself back in the city where he could sit under an electric fan and eat his mother's own cooking instead of the half baked beans that were served to him at every meal. He had often thot of packing up and starting for ho1ne, but the indomi- table will which had helped him win many basketball games when the odds were against him, now caused him to resolve to stick it out if he died in the attempt. One thing that made him homesick more than any- thing else was the awful loneliness of the place. As he sat there watching the fiery red sun sink behind the snowy tops of the mountains, the stillness of the vast solitude depressed him. He felt as if he was the only person on earth with nothing but a dinky steam engine and a train of flat cars for his companions. He longed for the busy city where there was the constant noise of street cars, automobile horns, and people hurrying to and fro. And above all he wanted something exciting, little reckoning that before dawn he would have all he had ever wished for, and more too. Well, this day dreaming isn't get- ting my report done, said he to himself as he settled down to work. When he had finished, he sat up and looked around. The sun had nearly sunk behind the horizon, and the locomotive which Bill Hawkins Page N umber Eighty-three had left standing on a siding, seemed to have moved a littleffrom its for- mer position. Jack, however, thot that it was nothing more than an optical illusion and let it pass un- noticed. He picked up his papers, slipped on his coat, and started for the boarding house, when suddenly he heard a slight creaking. Turning around, he saw that the engine had left the siding and was gaining head- way down the long hill on the main track! Gee, somethings wrong, thot he as he skipped over the ties toward the runaway as fast as the rocky con- ditions would allow. Jack saw that it would not be easy to reach the engine before it had gained a speed beyond pursuit and he redoubled his efforts. His long distance training in high school stood him in good stead, and, altho his wind came in short puffs and his lungs ached, his splendid body was able to withstand the ter- rific strain. As the engine gradually drew nearer, he clenched his fists, for he was flinging away his last ounce of power. Could he make it? Everything grew dark. He ran like a mechanical man. Just as he was at the point of giving up, his hands touched the coupling rod on the rear of the engine which he grasped tightly. When he came to himself again, he managed to pull his .body up on the tender where he lay a moment to recover his breath. He swayed diz- zily when he tried to get up, but he hung on and then crawled on his hands and knees over the coal into the cab. Whew, that was a hard run, he exclaimed as he looked around to ascertain the cause of the trouble. li llllllf 1' 'III W'lillffffllliilffff fQQi'fiiififfllfllff' Il Q ll ll all ll ml' P I ..... nl L Jack had always had a hankering for machinery and had spent many happy days in the railroad yards at home. Here he had come on in- timate terms with many of the engi- neers who had taught him different parts of an engine so that he was well acquainted with the workings of one.

Jack now remembered the words of Bill Hawkins, who had had much trouble for the past Week with the air be- cause of the leaky valves. The cause of the accident was clear to Jack. The engine had been left standing on the hill and as the brakes were re- leased by the leakage of air, the lo- comotive ha?started of its own ac- cord down the Ring hill between Coalridge and Vulcan. As the thot of his danger, Jack lost his former com- posure and became frightened, but he thot -quickly. He threw over the re- verse lever and opened the throttle, but the low steam pressure left in the boiler was ol' no use. To make matters all the Worse, he suddenly realized that the fast mail was due about this time. Jack quivered from head to foot. What could he do with the iron monster that was carry- ing him to certain death? To jump meant nothing more than deliberately committing suicide. He felt as if he must lie down and await the end. While he was thinking what to do next, a happy thot struck him. Was there no way to make use of his knowledge of telegraphy and the Morse Code? Electricity was impossi- ble. But why could he not spell out the dots and dashes on the whistle? There must still be steam enough left in the boiler to blow a short blast. The operator at Vuican could hear and open the derail as Jack would command. There was noth- ing to be lost by trying, so he reached forward and grasped the whistle cord. Dot, space, dot C055 dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, Cpjg dot Cejg dash, dot Cnbg open. Jack was afraid that the steam would give out, but he sounded the words: open derailg quickg runaway. When he finished, he looked out the window, and ahead he could see the headlight of the oncoming mail. Num- erous questions came to Jack s mind.

Would he be i time to pre- vent the collision, Upo him rested the fate not only of Jack, but also of those on the other train. As the bright light drew nearer at an .alarm- ing rate, Jack's life passed before his eyes like motion pictures. He saw his childhood days on the farm, he viewed himself winning athletic honors for his school, and saw the days passed in the railroad yards. The glaring light seemed only a few feet away. Jack closed his eyes. When he awoke, he was bewildered. Instead of being in a cab, he found himself on a small cot in the station at Vulcan. Many eager faces were peering at him, and his head and arm caused him much pain. At first he did not comprehend the meaning of all thisg but as his mind cleared, the past events dawned upon him. He listened eagerly as the tale was un- folded to him. When the sounds had first reached the operator, he had made no mean- ing out of them, but his trained ear ,lf soon recognized them as the dots and dashes of the Morse Code. As soon as he understood, he ran for the derail switch and he was not a minute too soon, for the runaway was not more than one hundred feet dis- tant at the time. The engineer on the mail had not been able to see it until his engine had rounded ya point just the other side of Vulcan, and he made the as- sertion that had it not been for the quick wit of Jack, the papers would have had another grewsome wreck to tell about. Jack, however, wished to give the operator all the credit, but every- body present insisted that he must take the honor. Before the depar- ture ofthe train, Jack shook hands not only with the crew of the mail, but also with all the passengers. As a reward, Jack was offered a iine posi- tion in the company's head office for the next summer, but he always main- tained that he would rather have the ten years of his life that were scared out of him that night than all the rewards in the world. .ici ' .Gig 1, 'gf-.S-N -, 'I'-I-R... 4 .5 Q -125- . vita, Q, , -in Y ' I f fi- 3 ft WBQ .czyrg , I l t J, My ., , 41 , ffl ,S-I H+ f ,711 9' ffl' Page Number Eighty-five i .

Both Joe and Jack wandered about among the other drivers and joked with them. Nong knex whether he was coming out of the race alive or not, and when they all shook hands before starting, there was a thotful and sober look in each face that grew into determination as the cars were cranked. They kept fairly even at the beginning, but after the first time around, they began to draw away from each other. Jack was content to stay near the rear until his engine became warmed up, but he gradually increased his speed, and at 'fifty miles he had drawn up from eleventh to sixth position. He was letting his car out easy now, and by the time he had gone one hundred miles he had attained fourth position. He was content to remain here, as he knew that some of the leaders were bound to drop out at the pace they were set- ting. True enough, before another hundred miles, one of the leaders had re- tired, leaving Jack in third position with the race half over. The Big Six was now in the lead, but Jack knew the tires would not stand the strain, so he devoted his attention to the little foreign car. Bum right rear tire, yelled Joe, better stop next time around! Let her go till she blows off! yelled Jack. Time's precious now. It'll stand a little longer. They were averaging better than eighty miles an hour now, and as the track was getting warm, the tires did not stand up as long as was expected. Before he had gone twenty miles further, the tire blewoff and Jack lost over a minute in putting a new one on. He was just starting out from the pits when the Big Six thundered past hitting on five cyiinders. She's about done for, yelled Jack as he got his car under way. We'll hit it up a bit now, there isn't much time left. They were about five minutes behind the little foreign car now, and as they flashed past the pits a little later, they got the signal that the Big Six was out for good. The little foreign car had not stopped once, but its tires appeared worn and as tho they might blow out any minute. Catch Number Seven, came from the pits, and with only twenty miles to go, Jack opened her up. His engine was working fine now, and as he flashed past the monstrous grandstand with her Wide open, the cheers of the people could be heard for a mile around. As he passed the pits with only five laps to go, he got the signal to open it to the limit. Number Seven was changing a tire and it was Jack's only chance to pass it. On the next lap they saw Number Seven just starting from the pits. Jack had about four laps in which to gain about a mile and pass it. There was achance to get even with the foreign product. They had only about three laps to go now, and Jack was gaining, but not very noticeably. The foreign driver kept dog- gedly ahead. 4 Easy on the tires, Jack, yelled Joe, as he leaned over to look. You ripped that rear tire on the last curve, but maybe she'll hold. Page Number Eighty-seven II lllllllilf lifl III fffflliiiitfiiiiiiilii..fl iii... fi.liiiiiiiif3fllllflf' il We'll trust to luck, yelled back Jack. With only one lap to go, he had drawn up and was but three hundred feet from Number Seven. Jack was driving for all he was worth now, and with only one end in view, to pass Seven. He took the turns faster than anybody had !er dame before, and at the last turn with the finish less than a mile away, e shot inside of Number Seven and was ahead. But the strain on his tire was too much and it bounded off the rim and rolled to the side of the track. His car zig-zagged down the course. It took all his strength to hold it. He gave one look back and saw Number Seven speeding toward him. Not thinking of chances, he opened her up and flashed past the line a winner! Number Seven came tearing along just behind him. It was only a matter of seconds but .lack was satisfied. Everybody wondered why he had driven so recklessly to win, but if they had seen him slip a ring on the finger of a willing girl after the race, they doubtless would have understood. ypx f HRH 1,26 ! i I ' 2- ' f uxfrfaaiisi ff .2 -,f W e's512fs2'i'f far' mf, f . axQf,5f' 'J ff! 66 1 f I i,,,qH ,fig-' ff? ff if K f x .f lf!!! , 5 .4 tw, 74.1 if riff f j X .:.i:.uffg.f J fy ll , i ff, ,f 7. 14 , V I , Q' l 1. 1, 'ijffff f 1615, Wm :C ' K ' J 1 'ff lv Il J X gil ff ,f . I VIII' A QBY GILBERT JACOBS, 'l5D Jack Joycelle was up against it: the hardest problem of his young life. Hitherto his life and thots had been centered upon school' and the various activities that it olfered. He had been an especially enthusiastic participant in forensics, he had also assumed his share in athletic work, and at the same time, he had maintained a scholarship above the average. His graduation from high school two nights before, however, had brought him face to face with a new situation--a crisis. Jack had three alternatives----three different roads from which to choose. Stay at home my son,'7 his father said, and take the position Karsch Brothers offered you. Go to the 'U'! said the principal, but Joycelle, senior, refused to foot the bills. D Page Nu mber Eighty-eight '17 li lllllllQQQ ll.l Ii flliiiiSiiiiffiiiiiilillifil iiiif liiiiiififlllll l' II I'm going to New York, said Jack's chum, why don't you join me? But Jack was still in doubt. Advice was given him from every side. All his kind relatives offered their opinions buf no Qnancial assistance. The numerous wise acres of the town each offered his solution of Jack's problem, but Jack himself was still undecided. Thus in great perplexity the days passed. One afternoon as he was re- turning from the wood, whither he had gone to be alone, he came upon a clearing at the turn pike of three roads. Ten miles to Wakevillef' read one sign. Wakeville was Jack's home town. Sixty miles to Harvard, read another. Three hundred miles to New-York, said the third. My three roads, said Jack, which shall I take? He thrust his hand aimlessly into his pocket and pulled out a small die. Gee, why not let the die decide for me? Iill let one and two stand for home and my job at Karsch's, three or four will signify Harvard, and five or six will mean gay New York! He tossed the die into the air and closed his eyes. Slowly he opened them and gazed at the tiny cube lying at his feet that read his fate. - LW Lid Lie! GJ A Acting upon the supposition that it turned a six, we will follow Jack along the road to gay New York. After necessary preparations, we find Jack in a crowded coach that is swiftly conveying, him to the busy, wealthy, brilliant metropolis. Two weeks later we see him pacing the congested thoro- fares of the large city. The activity and competition in business is apparent wherever he goes, yet, in this colossal machine of industry, Jack had spent two solid weeks in search of a place where he was needed-fourteen days of vain pursuit for employment. in desperation he answers an add for an ex- perienced waiter. Experienced waiter, says Jack to himself, I never carried a tray in my life. However, the restaurant needs help immediately so he dons a white apron and plays the game with a will. He is docked heavily the first few weeks for mistakes and broken dishes, but time and prac- tice soon correct his awkwardness, and slowly he works himself into the dull monotony of an experienced waiter. One day, however, an opportunity presents itself. A stage manager notices his rich, mellow voice as he sings out his orders to the cook, Ham and- or Stack o' wheats with--- , and Jack is tried out for a place in a chorus in a local theatre. Jack makes good on the stage and is rapidly advanced to play minor parts. Gradually he becomes more popular as the years roll by, until in middle life we find him a favorite of the vaudeville stage, a well known singer, and, alas, a dissipated wreck. He conquered the city inasmuch as he found a place in the world where he seemed to fit, but the city, with its lures and temptations, calloused his conscience and ruined his manhood. ni uit' uid Q1 Suppose Jack had seen a four on the little die that crucial day. What Page Number Eighty-nine l III! ' -- ' ' lf IlllQQQQff l..T III ffliiiiiiillQiilllfl li if fQ1lii i Q l lfl!f' f II would the Harvard road have in store for him? Jack starts his first semester with but thirty dollars to his name. He applies all over town for work, but it seems as if all part-time positions are filled. He spends his last ten spot on an electric iron and decides to start in business fr' himlelf. He has cards printed and distributes them among his aristocratic friends at the 'U'. J. Joycelle, clothes-pressing neatly done. Gradually his business increases, and far into the night can be heard the thumping of his iron as he plies his honest trade. Jack makes good in his studies as all do who work their way. Constant exercise of his will helps him to develop a decision which he had always lacked. He becomes a popular debater, and his rich, mellow voice coupled with a natural dramatic ability wins for him many honors. He is specializing in law. Ten years later we find him a prominent lawyer in New York City and in middle life, the Governor of New York State. I owe my success tothe turn of a die, 'he says, but his friends object and say that his success was born of persistent and persevering effort. fb lfil G9 KSU In the case of a deuce up ' on the die, Jack had decided on home and Karsch Brothers. Supposing such had been the case, let us visit that town thirty years later. We find him still a clerk in the local dry goods store. A customer enters and greets Jack cordially. Special service at the church on Easter, you know. We need you in the choir, Jack. By the Way, Jack, how's your wife and that young son of yours? All fine, thank you, Jack replies. When he goes home that evening to his pretty cottage and his loving wife, he says to himself, After all, what more could I have wished for? I have a happy family, a comfortable home, and plenty of friends. Are these not the essentials of life? My great- est regret is not having gone to college, but perhaps that ambition will be realized in my son. ' IQ1 Q1 LGU LGU But which road did Jack take? I do not know, I left him before he read. But which road will you take when the die is cast that is to decide your fate? l I 'I I C- 1 C- l Page Number Ninety ar nib i' r gf X 7 I I . -wt- rr During the past school year, our alumni at the U have been more prom- inent than ever in athletics, forensics, journalism, school politics, and mis- sionary work. Ra.ymond Keeler has been the main figure in athletics, school politics, and missionary work. Other alumni figuring in athletics are Ben Brindley, Arthur Hayes, Boots Weimar, Ed Stavrum, and Angus Casberg. In forensic work Howard Jones has been doing excellent, things. Raymond Keeler has made several speeches in behalf of the Go to Church movement. In connection with Journalism, Howard Jones and William Freehof should be mentioned. Freehof was editor of both the DAILY NEWS and CAR- DINAL. Howard Jones has had several of his poems' and stories in the UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE, and Ben Brindley in on the SPHINX board. In school politics, the alumni are widely represented. As oiiicers of the var- ious classes and those serving on committees, there are Ben Brindley, Maud Neprud, Harold Davis, Don Dickinson, Ray Keeler, Marjory Taylor, and Ralph Bradish. The past year has been a prosperous one for the alumni at the University, and the prospects for the coming year are just as bright. The Alumni Association, since its banquet and dance last June, has been struggling for members. Up to date there are only about one hundred seventy-five alumni who belong. The executive committee of the association is now endeavoring to get an Alumni Register in order to know the where- abouts of the alumni. However, this cannot be done without the co-oper- ation of the members and those who are soon to graduate. The committee will therefore gladly accept any help in making this register. The oflicers are now planning a big banquet for the class of 1914 which is to be followed by a dance. All alumni are invited, and it is hoped that there will be even a greater attendance than there was at last year's banquet. Let us all lend a willing hand and help to make our Alumni Association one Worthy of our school.

Hail to our oldest living alumnus, Mr. Stephen Martindale of La Crosse! Mr. Martindale was one of the four members of the first class to Hnish the La -Crosse High School. He graduated in '76, and, continuing his education, graduated from Beloit College in 1880. Wliile at Beloit, Mr. Martindale had the honor of representing Wisconsin in an Inter-State Oratorical Contest at Oberlin, Ohio. Later he studied law With Wing and Prentiss in La Crosse and was admitted to the bar in 1884. Two years later he was graduated from the University Law School and in the same year took his master's degree from Beloit College. 1 At the present time Mr. Martindale is president of the L. C. H. S. Alumni Association. He resides at number 237 South Tenth Street and is one of the prominent business men of La Crosse. Page Number Ninety-three ef' M U! 0 CAL . .Z'g EASTER DANCE A small crowd gathered in the gym for the annual mid-semester hop- now grown to the Tango party-given by the B. A. A. Everything was just about right for the dances:-a good floor, with not too many on it, excellent music, and something with which to wash it all down. However, the authorities were not much pleased wlth the turnout. So few took advan- tage of this post-Lenten function that the A. A. ran about four semoleons in the O. m ui mv THE JUNE. CLASS The June Class of 1914 had a meeting in the middle part of April, at which they chose a motto, that fitting quotation of Mr. lVIcCormick's:- Measure Up , its class flower is a daisy, for a factg its colors are green and white. Here's hoping the class will live up to its motto. rr rm rm ORATORY AND DECLAMATORY On Tuesday evening, April 21, the school oratorical contest was held in the auditorium before an audience of perhaps fifteen people. Out of the nine speakers, the three highest were:-Walker, first, with the Toll of In- dustry, Hanson, second, With The Race Problem of the South, and Wheaton, third, With The South and Her Problems. The first two represented the school in the league contest held here on April 24. Notwithstanding the fact that the price of admission was small, ten cents, there was a comparatively small crowd. Viroqua took both first and secondhonors. Joe Roman, with Emmet's Last Speech, Was first, and Arnold Fawcet, With The Philosophy of the Race Problem came out second. Sparta took third and last places, with Walker and Hanson fourth and fifth respectively, but we don't know how it happened. The same night at Sparta, Minnie Olson and Ethel Mabie represented L. C. H. S. in the League Declamatory Contest. Viroqua ran away with first and third, while La Crosse took second place. Ethel Mabie did the deed With The Boy Orator of Zepeta City. rm to new ni TEACHERS LEAVE Those of us who return next semester will surely regret the absence of the following teachers, and perhaps a few more or less:-Miss Collins, Miss Griffin, Mr. Carmichael, Mr. Curtis, and Mr. Fuller.

Q COMMENCEMENT WEEK The JUNIOR PROM this year will start the commencement festivities on Friday, June fifth, in the Hixon Annex. This dance will undoubtedly be the big event ofthe year, offered at the democratic price of 75 cents. CLASS NIGHT will come on the Tuesday following. This will satisfy many who want a good, hearty laugh. Slams, jokes, and clever impersonations will be presented, funny enough to tickle the crazy bone of even the victims of the witty C?D graduates. On the following day the graduates will, in all probability, have a picnic or a launch ride all by themselves, with, of course, the customary chaperones. ON COMMENCEMENT NIGHT, Thursday the eleventh, the great class of 1914 consisting of one hundred and twenty-five High School students will be graduated at the La Crosse Theatre, as heretofore. The speakers on the program are: Elinore Schweizer and Raymond Grams, selected by the February class, Ethel Mabie and Knut Houck chosen by the June class, and Marie Wester and Lloyd Bovee elected by the faculty. The program has not as yet been arranged at the time of this writing, but will most likely in- clude Glen Halik, Harry Marshall, Winnifred Forbes, and a few others, with a couple ol' songs by the class as a whole. At the close of the exercises, the diplomas will be given out by our friend and well wisher, Mr. Lueningg AS THE CLOSING FEATURE OF COMMENCEMENT, the big Al- umni banquet and dance, in which the recently graduated class of '14 is in- volved, will be held at the high school on Friday the twelfth. Now, if any facts of the above are distorted or out of place, or if some have been left out, please remember that this is purely a matter of chance, and the writer does not pose as an Ezekiel or a spiritualist. -May you all enjoy a happy vacation and a Glorious Fourth, and profit in the pecuniar line of pursuit of happiness, as the case may be.-Gluck auf! nga rm vin mn CLASS PLAY The Class Play selected by the class of 1914 is Mice and Men , by Madeleine Lucette Ryley.

No matter to what heights he may attain in later life, never will he be ashamed to say, I am a graduate of the L. C. H. S. And it is no vain boast, for there are but few schools in the whole state of Wisconsin which outrank ours in point of faculty, building, equipment, or student body,-the four main points of comparison.

The assembly rooms are filled, the auditorium will not quite seat all of the students 'at general assem- blies, and all the classes are as large as the University Will permit. Surely something must be done to make room,-but what? Shall it be a high school on the North Side? Or another addition to the present building? And if so, Where can it be built?

Now let uf see.what the various branches of the High School are and what they are doing. First comes English. This course outranks all others in the number of students enrolled, for every student must take English during the entire four years' course. Consequently, there are more teachers in this department than in any otherg at the present time there are seven who devote their entire time to this one subject and two others who teach it in conjunction with other subjects. During the four years of English, the student learns, and speed- ily forgets, everything from how to write an intelligible letter to the fact that Compensation, as Emerson says, is the eternal balance of all things, and speedy retribution fol- lows any infringement thereof. A study of ancient classics, English and American Literature, Grammar, ar- gumentation, narration, exposition,- all this and much more is included in the study of English. It is one of the most interesting and valuable studies in the curriculum. The Language Department includes the three languages: German, French, and Latin. Until recently Greek was also offered, but last year no student elected it so it was temporarily dis- continued. This goes to prove that nowadays education must be practical and must make its appeal to the student. The ordinary course of study is employed and the usual classics read. In the study of either of the three languages, perhaps one of the most important facts which the stu- Page Number Ninety-eight V Q - .-... ml mln mul Il ll- -null Inu qpunnmm-nm mm nuuumnun -mnumnl nl f Q It lllllll lll .L ...liiiiiiiiifiiiznmln!!! . ,. ll lliniif, r..liiiilttifllllif' dent must learn is Ne equo creditef' CDon't trust, a pony.b Mathematics is also a favorite UD among the studeigs, 0. rather some of the math teachers are favorites because of leniency, generosity with high marks, and other similar vir- tues. The elementary portion of Al- gebra and Geometry is required of all, but the more advanced work in each and also Trigonometry are elective. Mathematics also requires the services of a large number of teachers, six devoting a part or all of their time to this subject. You may choose any type, kind, or variety of History that you desire, one or all. If you want something a little deeper, take Civics. It shows the modern method of making History, Ancient or Medieval, English or American, all there, and in strong doses,-if you get the right teacher.

The Science Department as a whole, like Gaul,is divided into three parts, one of which is called Botany, an- other, Physics, and a third that which in the language of the learned is called Chemistry, and in ours,--. All of these differ in difliculty, sub- stance, and teachers. Of all these, Chemistry is the worst by far, be- cause it is farthest removed from the realm of common sense, and is most often visited by those awful odors which tend to weaken the. human con- stitution.

It can be taken forqhe eltire four years or in conjunction with German for two years. It includes Penmanship, Book- keeping, Typewriting, and Shorthand. Actual business methods are taught, and the student is amply prepared at graduation to accept a profitable position. For those who do not con- template continuing in school, Com- mercial is a very wise subject to take, for it enables one to earn his living from the very start. And being able to learn one's living still remains quite an important factor in life. Even those who complain that edu- cation nowadays is too classical and theoretical will have to admit that cooking, at least, is practical, and that a girl is not wasting her time very seriously when she takes it. And Oh! those nectar and ambrosial odors! How they cheer our fainting hearts and clamoring stomachs as We pass by the door at about eleven o'clock!! Everything in the culinary line is taught-everything from how to make digestive bread and potatoes to fudge and Heavenly Bliss. Sewing is a companion subject with cooking. It is just as thoro in its line as cooking and just as valuable. Among the things that the girls learn, is how to stitch. They learn to do this in a variety of ways, such as the hem stitch, and the feather stitch, and the over stitch, and the stitching stitches, and stitches and stitches and stitches ad infinitum. In other words, they learn to stitch. Owing to the lack of suitable facilities, physical culture was .for- Page Number One Hundred 7 1 ' Ill llllll' I-llllllllw --:null In -qv -n:--::--:nu-u-----nv-:-n----- I uwnlnlnnllln mmmuum I. lllIl!l... .l.l. ...I .lilS33EEfii1:zululll , .. ll llllll . .,.liii::i111lllll?!!f' 'I merly taken only by the girls, but now it is compulsory for both boys and girls. The boys take gym in the new gymnasium engzlusiylly, but there are also several girls' classes in the large gym because the old one will not accomodate all. The ordinary work in physical training is given. Of the Mamual Training Depart- ment we need say but little. The numerous remarkable benefits de- rived from this work are too obvious and well known to need enumerating here. With such costly and magni- ficent equipment, great work is being done. It is the culmination of the present trend of education toward practical studies, and the recognition and encouragement of different gifts and talents in different students. If a student lacks in one way, it is sure to be compensated by some other gift in another direction. And this is just what the High School is striving to do: to enable every student to learn in what di- rection his talents lie. If one has musical abilities, there is chorus and the orchestra and the glee clubsg if it is artistic ability, let him take drawing, if one would be an actor, let him strive to win a position in some of the numerous plays, if one has talent for argumentation, bid him join one of the debating societies or try out for the Inter-Scholastic teams 5 if this is not quite his field, let him take to oratory. If in these fields one does not excell, let him try Manual Training by taking wood Working, forging, or milling. This, then, is the spirit of our school-the spirit of true democracy.

Hugo and Walter Endre have placed our distinguished insti- tution on a higher level than ever. Defying all astronomers, astrologers, and members of every other faction of modern scientific investigation and research, they have opened up a new branch of learning, in fact, a new era. In short, they have set upon a novel means for determining the ensuing year. For instance, quoth Hugo to a reporter, this is 1914. One begins at the left digit and adds: one-ten-eleven-fifteen. Subsequently, substituting this result for the four- teen of the present year, one is enabled to determine the number of the year of the birthdays of all infants born next year. This will also prove very useful in enabling printers to print calendars in advance. ISU 620 ISU LSU EXTRA!!! Telegrams bring us the astounding news that Congress voted our heros a magnificent appropriation. The ex- act amount is not definitely known, but Walter says-it will keep him in stamps for the rest of his days. Hugo, being a reformer as well as an inventor and mathematician, tells us of some of the changes he will effect in our school. Herewith a few of them are enumerated: 1. Foundry periods will be reduced from one and one-half hours to forty- five minutes, with fifteen minutes for getting on the working togs, fifteen for cleaning up, and ten for rest. 2. Free admission to all girls' gym classes. 3. No morfchalli in the macaroni. CBravo!j 4. All windows in the Chemistry lab will be opened as soon as any annoying odors begin to arise. 5. Girls must organize a basket- ball team, positively. CWalter also insists on this.J 6. All debates will be held behind barred doors. 7. Students will be ALLOWED to write for the Boos'rER. CGood boylj 8. Ancient History will be wiped completely off the High School cur- riculum. 9. Either Strauss and Hansen must abstain from wearing loud socks and ties, or a free eye specialist must be permanently retained at this school. 10. Every teacher who has ever flunked me or my beloved brother will be discharged at once. CSuch is the power ofthe capitalistlj LSU ISU U21 mv GETTS GETS GOATS The papers tell us that Harold Getts of La Crosse has purchased a beautiful site near this city, ideal for goat raising. Our reporters, ever alert, followed up this clue to find that there is an organized conspiracy on foot in this school. Mr. Getts is the leader and most active member, having won his position thru his skill in obtaining goats. Numerous fakers and semi-lunatics under the super- vision of friend Harold daily infest our halls and nobly do they succeed in their mission, viz., to get goats. One no sooner hears the gentle closing of the door behind him when he Page Number One Hundred Ten f X 'llllullllll lI -'ll llllnlll l --- 'll lull ,I l-'---' ag: 'l'l -I'I'- - 'I'lI I-I-'- S lIIl I Il Y V Q I. llllll,, .F.... .. .,,llrsflssiizzpninaimu ..., l ull . . laaizzllllt. I. l enters this school, than he hears an exclamation: You get my goat! Look around at the goat getter and he will undoubtedly bi found to be a member of the dangerous Getts gang. There is hardly a student in our school who has not fallen a victim to Goat-Getter Getts or his followers. Daily does he lurk around the fus- sers' bench torturing victims until he gets their goats or nannies, when he rapidly retreats. Only a few have escaped. Being informed of this con- spiracy, these few students strongly chained their goats to their persons, thus making it almost impossible for Sir Billy to escape. When Getts approached these anticipated victims, the goats began to pull ferociously at the lines, almost pulling their masters off their feet, but this is the only method of eluding these crooks. Mr. Getts prides himself especially on one large angora Billy which for- merly was the pet goat and compan- ion of our friend and benefactor, Miss Heideman, but Getts got it. The BOOSTER admits that its re- porters ran off with their share of goats during the past year, but all these can now be found on Getts' farm. The only question in our minds is: How shall we get more goats? Of course this book will undoubtedly bring many around, but here's hoping a goat gets Getts. um D71 Ks Kia REAL DEFINITIONS Freshman-A symptom of civiliza- tion not yet civilized.

Oh Horrors, she muttered, as she rummaged thru her desk for her Physics notebook, this Latin is ter- rible. I wish Vigil lid kept his old poetry to himself. Anyway, I'm not going to spend another minute on it. Where do you suppose I put that notebook? I simply must have it for the exam. Satisfying herself that it was not in the desk, she walked over to her dresser and, pulling out one of the drawers, deposited its contents on the floor. 'P Now if it's in there, I'll get it or know the reason why. Just then there was the old familiar tap at the door. Come in, she called. The other members of the jolly six trouped in.

The rain was coming down in torrents, and great Zig-zag flashes of lightning raced across the sky While the wind howled dismally thru the pines. Suddenly an idea came to me that left me panic stricken. Oh, Beth, I whispered hoarsely, this must be the very house said to be deserted be- cause the spirit of the miller returns at night to search for his murdered Wife and children and to wreak vengeance on any who disturb his nocturnal watches. I had scarcely uttered the last word when we heard the sounds of scurry- ing footsteps in the apartment above us. Heavy pieces of furniture were being dragged across the room as if someone was pursuing a diligent search. This was followed by loud shrieks of anger, apparently at the failure of the search. In another minute there was a terrible crash as something fell down the stairs. We huddled into the corner, desperately clinging to each other, when a Weird bluish light slowly filled the room, and we heard the awful---M Oh! Ruth said as she suddenly stopped reading.
