A Zieuiew nf,1H15-15115 We are again at the close of a school year. A year so eventful that in the brief space allotted to this review, it will be possible merely to mention the more im portant events. 'The semester just closing marks the largest enrollment in the history of our school. In spite of this fact, things have moved along so smoothly about the build- ing that we have not been conscious of the increased number in attendance. Credit for this state of affairs belongs primarily to the student body which has assumed the extra responsibility in a manner befitting much older people. If there is any one thing we can pride our- selves on more than anything else, it is this particular phase of our school life. Were it not for the fact that visitors and inspectors have noticed and have seen fit to make favorable verbal and written reports on the self reliance and self con- trol of our students from freshmen to seniors, it would not bear mention here. While much of the credit for this state of affairs must go to a responsive, fair, and industrious student body, no small share belongs to our sympathetic, efficient, and earnest faculty, which, I believe it can be conservatively said, is the best all around corps our high school has ever had. During the year we have scored triumph on the gridiron, success on the basket ball floor, the forensic and debate plat- form, and the stage. Yet the thing that appeals to me most is the improved schol- arship of the whole student body. There has been an atmosphere of work through- out the year that has resulted in a smaller number of failures and a larger number of promotions. This spirit was empha- sized when something over three hundred students sacrificed the fun and frolic of vacation to do strenuous school Work during the summer months. 'Strenuous because the time in which to complete a unit's work was short and the minutes of preparation for the ordinary daily recitation were multiplied into hours during this shorter period. The spirit was there and our first attempt at sum- mer school ended August first in a blaze of glory. As a direct result six students were given certificates of graduation, and some twenty others will be able to com- plete their courses this June. Besides this about one hundred students were pro- moted which means that they, too, will be able to shorten the school term. That it was not the novelty of a new thing that caused these students to do summer work is witnessed by a demand from the same three hundred for a like chance the coming summer. Among this number are 'six or eight who will have acquired the re- quired number of credits to graduate August 1, 1916. All departments in the high school have shown growth this year. There has been no general rush into any kind of workin spite of our liberal elective system. It has rather given the opportunity for the individual to find himself, and that most students are profiting by it cannot be denied. The languages, mathematics, history, science, and commercial work have been popular while the manual arts depart- ments have held their own. Or it might be stated in the reverse order, for our school is Well balanced from the standpoint of departmental enrollment. Page 17 A 11 J M -Il ll ll lf-:Wi Nil There has been more activity than usual this year in the outside Work of each department. In most cases this activity has been carried on in the form of clubs. Notable among the new ones this year are the German, Latin, Commercial, Science, and Civics Clubs. Each has been active. The German Club has produced two plays, the one for students of the department and the other for students and their friends. Both Were very suc- cessful. The Commercial Club has been very active. Among other things the members have fitted out a model office in Room 303 Where a student stenographer may be found at any time of the day by those Wishing Work done. The club has been addressed by prominent business men during the year. Other organizations have been active. The literary societies have had a good year, the Glee Clubs starred in the pro- duction of the Chimes of Normandy, the Masquers put on a very successful play, The Orchestra has been better than ever, and the Kamera Kraft society has had very interesting meetings. Among those to address the latter organization Were Mayor Bentley, who is an expert with the camera, and Mr. Gussie Roys who has won international fame as an artist. Our general assemblies have been un- usually interesting this year. Among those to address these meetings was our distinguished citizen and former Presi- dent of the United States, Hon. W. H. Taft. We owe our thanks to the members of the Committee of the Manufacturers and Jobbers Association for this treat. Others to address the assembly during the year Were Mr. D. W. MacWillie, President of the Pearl Button Works, Mayor Bent- ley, Rev. Mr. Milne, who was a mis- sionary in China for several years, and Mr. John Hicks of Madison, who gave an excellent reading of the Wonderful play Experience All in all, the year has been a pleasant and profitable one from all standpoints.

II I saw them there, I saw them there, I saw them all around. There Were as many people there As ants upon a mound. III The Women pushed, the men did shove, 'While children 'round did dance. There Were so many people there TWO hundred saw I at a glance. IV 'Twas How much is that ribbon there'?' And Where are those joss-sticks? What, no more soap? Well, goodness me, I'm surely in a fix? Page 46 X H Q vm, V I wandered on, but not alone, My hat was crushed, my feet were sore, At last to my intense relief, I stood beside the door. VI I made a rush and soon was out, And swore that I no more Would shop upon a Saturday In a five and ten cent store. Three men got into a heated argument as to Who could tell the biggest lie. Each claimed that he could. At last they got a fourth man to be the judge. The first man began- Well, I've got a brother- in-law that has the longest arm of any- body I ever saw. It doesn't seem to be longer than anybody else's arm, but just the same he can reach the Whole length of mu' table with it, and our table is over six feet long. 0h! Pshaw, said the second man, my uncle has such big feet that it takes -l lll!Jlll l ! a Whole hide to make one shoe to fit him. Well, said the third man, those fellows you spoke of lily be wonderful. But my dad had 'em all beat.. Why his nose was so long, that the folks at home used to tell when to go to meals by it. When they saw the end of pa's nose come in the door they started to get dinner, and by the time pa himself got home, the 'taters and meat were all cooked and pa sat down to dinner. He won. Soon- Enough, said Nellie Jones to Ida, we will be Old enough to Rank ourselves . Systematically as- CPuzzlefCan you finish Nellie's sen- tence? Look and cogitate deeply over the above lines. It may help you to know that Nellie and Ida were Adv. Juniors. The Hdetektuf was hot upon the trail. He had been following it for many weeks. His nostrils were distended Kas he crept alongb like those of a fierce and crafty blood-hound. Alia, he cried, so they think they can escape from Gum-Shoe Pete do they? Well, we'll see. He crept along. Suddenly the trail left the beaten path and led toward a deserted hut. 'HA likely place for the perpetration of their direful plots, thot he. At last he stood on the threshhold, his trusty gun in one hand, his handcuffs in the other. Oh, no they would not catch Pete, the Terror of Kalamazoo asleep. He placed his mighty shoulder against the door and was about to burst it open, when he was halted by the sound of a voice. Sweet and clear it rang out through the autumn air, in strange contrast to the bloody deeds which Pete had been expecting: You can kill us if you will, You can have all our dough If you'll only tell us this, 'What did Selrnar Birkelo? Pete turned white, and fell to the floor. In a minute he breathed his last, and the world's population was decreased by one. What is electricity? Electricity, sir, is a colorless, weight- less, tasteless fluid that flows along wires, runs dynamos, and curling irons. When you take hold of it you know you'Ve got it, and sometimes, you are so strongly attracted by it that you can't let go. You can buy it in little red boxes called batteries, but you can also make it by rubbing a cat's back. Electricity is present in Very large quantities in the clouds, but it is very hard to get out. It takes a very violent clap of thunder to shake it from its place, but when it does come, it does quite a bit a damage such as breaking mirrors, splitting fence poles, and causing people to hide their heads under the bed clothes. It's fun to edit the Bellow, Altho it's an awful mess, It's fun to get out a paper, But the work's too hard for us. -The Bellow Staff. Page 47 -if I A' I X .

I'm going to be the hero in all the pitchers, and rescue the beautiful maidens from dire perils. I-Iuh! grunted Chut, scornfully. Goin' to be a regular ladies' man, aren't you? Well, I tell you, I'm not going to be a movin' pitcher actor, I'm going to be a perfessional amatoor! Brick started at his companion in awe and admiration. What's a perfessional amatoor'? he gasped. Well, replied Chut, scratching his head meditatively, I'm not sure 'zactly what it is, but I think it's a kind of an explorer. I'll ego to Africa and hunt lions and tigers and things. Then I'll begin exploring. If the natives get fresh with me, I'll blow 'em all to pieces with some dynamite. I guess I'l1 discover a river, and name it after myself.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1919 fSophomoresj The Sophomores entered the La Crosse High School in 1915 and is one of the best classes that ever entered. When we entered High, we admit we were just as green as the ordinary Freshie, but it did not take us long to get wise to the rules of school life. As a whole, our class promises to be well up in the athletic line, particularly so since the Husky Paul Nyhus is one of us, and we soon hope to have an athletic team that will be rivaled only by that of the Senior Class. We also have considerable musical talent with Martha Forbes, Dora Hirsh- heimer, and Maud Robbins combined. These people are practically the most im- portant members of the Glee Club. Considering everything and Harry Nut- ting the Soph class is what might be called The Shining Light. However our ability to shine is not entirely due to the amount of red hair we possess, although We admit that red hair does make our class more conspicuous. We feel that with all our bright students the class of 1919 will be the best class that ever graduated from the La Crosse High School. Merritt Gibson- What's the matter with my map?

Every effort Was made to encourage as many students as possible to enter the contests, Whether or not they had ever before done dramatic Work or showed decided abilityg for our aim was not so much to secure merely a Winning team as to induce a large number to avail themselves of the advantages of system- atic training. As a consequence so many students en- rolled that five preliminary, elimination contests were found necessary. The pro- gressive system Was used, about one half of the number of the contestants being eliminated at each try-out. The final elimination was held the evening of April when 6, the following program was given: DECLAMATORY VVhat William Henry Did ....... .

A Plea for Cuba . .GEORGE MCLACHLIN The Cross of Gold . .CHARLES WEIS LaWson's Reply to Judge Hillyer . . . tl ...................HAROLD RISBERG The Balance of PoWer ...,....... . . ....................JOSEPH MANNIX The judges awarded places to Ruth Esch and Inga Nordrum who represented La Crosse in the league declamatory contest which was held here, the evening of May 5 5 and to Charles Weis and George McLachlan who represented us in the oratorical league contest which was held at Viroqua at the same time. Whether or not We Win high honors in this Work, our efforts are our own com- pensation. Each student Who entered the contests has gained not only a deeper appreciation of the thoughts and feelings of others but a more intimate acquain- tance of himself-his strong and Weak points. Each student who received train- ing this year should be encouraged to enter the contests next year, resolved to profit by his former mistakes and short comings. The forensic work another year will be made much easier, not only because of the previously mentioned hopeful signs but also because the La Crosse High School now has at hand a good-sized, and Well-selected library of orations, declam- ations, and short plays. Each selection is in compact, paper-bound form easily accessible to all students interested in such Work. l lll lfll lil-ii If this wave of appreciation among the pupils for oratoricaliand declamatory work can be increased and if even larger audiences of interested friends can be in- duced to attend such programs, the future success in forensics of the La Crosse High School is assured. DRAMATICS Dramatics as well as declamatory and oratorical work has profited this year by the unusual interest manifested by the students. The Masquers, the girls' dramatic so- ciety, began its work of the year by presenting for general assembly the pleas- ing little farce, The Misdemeanors of Nancy. Its annual play, A Night Off, a comedy made famous by John Drew and Otis Skinner, was given in the high school auditorium the evening of Jan. 20. A large and appreciative audience pro- nounced this performance one of the best ever given by our students. The selection of the following cast was an especially happy one: Justinian Babbitt ...... HUGH MARSIIALL Harry Damask ........ HAROLD RISBERG Jack Mulberry ........ JAMES CALDWELL Lord Mulberry ...... EARL HIRSHHEIMER Marcus Brutus Sap. . .PAUL GATTERDAM Prowl .......,... WESIJEY BRANDENBURG Mrs. Zantippa Babbit. . GEORGIA PEASE Nisbe ........,............ RUTH Escn Angelica Damask ,... MABEL HEDDERICH Susan ............ GERTRUDE HARRISON Maria .............. DORA HIRSHHEIMER Hugh Marshall as the professor and Paul Gatterdam as the stage manager did some especially fine character work. However, the grade of work done by the entire cast is worthy of commendation. The Senior Class is to present Green Stockings at the La Crosse Theatre, June 2. The play is a clever, modern, three-act comedy abounding in bright, terse speeches and amusing situations. The following cast will undoubtedly make this performance one of the events of the school year: Admiral Grice ........ WALLACE SCHALL William Farady WESLEY. .BRANDENBURG Colonel Smith ......... HAROLD RISBERG Richard Tarver ....... PAUL GATTERDAM Henry Steele ........ .LESTER REICHELT James Raleigh .... ...... J OSEPH BOYLE Martin ...,........... THOMAS D1oKENs Celia Farady ........... MILDRED SCOTT Madge Rockingham ..., VIOLA POEHLING Evelyn Trenchard .... ELIZABETH WOLFE Phyllis Farady ............. RUTH ESCH Mrs. Chrisalm Farady. .FRANCES PALMER The unusually large number of students who appeared for each try-out is proof of the increased interest in dramatics and of the need for larger opportunities of training. Only a small per cent of the students who show willingness and ability for dramatics are given a chance to de- velop their powers. This need could be met by the system- atic efforts Of the boys' and girls' dramatic societies. These clubs at regular bi- monthly meetings by the study of history and technique of the drama, and by the presentation of scenes and short plays would not only be enhancing their own knowledge of a delightful art and adding greatly to their personal power and pleasure but would also be performing an inestimable service to the school as a whole. DEBATE Three main debates characterized the work of the past year. The Wendell Page 61 L-Il fl lll lf-Si Phillips and Lincoln Douglas societies fought over the same question that was later submitted by Lawrence College for the state inter-high school debate. The question, Resolved: That the policy if Philippine independence as set forth in the democratic platform of 1912 should be carried into effect, was an interesting live, up-to-the-minute issue and 'much interest was aroused as to the outcome of the Philippine bills then pending in Con- gress. After a very close contest the jud- ges awarded a two to one decision in favor of the Wendell Phillips. The high school debating league of which our school is a part, consists of Tomah, Viroqua, Sparta and La Crosse Schools. On Felluary 12th, George Mc- Lachlan, William Sanders and George Bunge went to Sparta to uphold the nega- tive side of the question against Sparta's aflirmative, while Chas. Weis, Joe Mannix and Thomas Dickens remained in La Crosse to debate a negative team from Tomah. The outcome of the league debate were: CITY Won Lost Per cent Sparta ,..... . , 2 0 1000 La Crosse ...... 1 1 500 Viroqua ..... . . 1 1 500 Tomah, . . . . 0 2 000 Ellie Qlllpimea nf Biurnmnhg On Friday evening, April 23, the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs put on the famous opera, Chimes of Normandy, at the La Crosse Theatre to a packed house. This was the third opera put on by these organizations and, it is conservative to say the best. There were one hundred twenty-five people in the cast, twelve of whom did the solo work while the balance composed the choruses. From start to finish the audience was entertained in true professional style for not only were the soloists exceptionally well trained but the choruses worked with precision and life becoming professionals. Everything went off in one, two, three order. There was not a hitch nor a breakg everyone remembered his lines, and everyone was right where he should be every time he was called on to perform. The costumes were beautiful and the grouping of the choruses on the stage was exceptionally well arranged. The musical part of the performance was coached by Miss MacLean while Miss Dunn looked after the dramatic part. While every individual who took part deserves great praise, the major part of the credit go to these two teachers who put in hours studying and planning and coaching. The Solo Cast was as follows: Serpolette, The Good-for-Nothing ..... Germaine, The lost Marchioness .... Gertrude, Village Maiden ......... Jeanne, Village Maiden .,....

Owing to a demand for admission which it was impossible to supply Friday even- ing, the performance was repeated Saturday afternoon to a second large house. Every- thing moved off as well as on the previous night and when the last curtain fell it was evident from the remarks of those present that L. C. H. S. had scored another triumph.

The Lincoln-Douglas Debating Society has just completed a very successful season's work. Meetings have been held regularly and have not been abandoned or adjourned once during the entire year. Every meeting has been en- tirely successful. Such an enviable record would have been impossible Without the interest and co-operation of every member. In addition to debates, the society has supported other forensic work. Training in Parliamentary Practice has taught the members how to conduct business quietly and orderly. Interesting current literature, humorous readings, and recitations always have a place on the L. D. programs. A very successful Mock Trial was re- cently held in Room 212 based upon the supposition that a well known member of the L. D. was accused of forgery. Good programs have kept the members interested in the society. Our annual L. D. picnic, our various banquets, and entertainments, all help to develop the spirit of good fellowship and loyalty necessary to success in any society. Every member of the L. D. realizes that literary work is of first importance and this society has directed its work with this end in view at all times. We have adhered strictly to this policy throughout the year. The L. D. must give much of its credit to coach H. W. Leach for the sOciety's successful season. His interesting critic's reports and valuable suggestions have helped to raise the standard of our literary activities. We have forty members in the society and as our membership is limited to that nrniber, we naturally feel rather optimistic about the future. Although the society will lose many members in the class of 1916, the younger members will assuredly uphold the standard of this society in the future.--JOSEPH L. MANNIX, '16. Page 65 Ariiuitiea ' L. D. QUARTETTE L. D. BELLOW STAFF MANNIX WEIS DUPEE DEBATE TEAM ' -l il it LCH5 O L. D. ACTIVITIES During the past year the L. D. has been represented in more High School ac- tivities than ever before. In every division of athletics, forensics, and dramatics, L. D. members have been instrumental in bringing credit to La Crosse High, and we are justly proud of our representatives. ' Besides helping along the school activities, the L. D. has developed many side lines during the year. No member has any excuse for having been non-active in ath- letics, forensics, music, and literary work, or for not having had a good time during the last semester. Our various teams in basket ball, track, and base ball, our tennis tournament, our Bellow, our quartette, our Double Triangle affairs, our increasing number of picnics, feeds, sleigh rides, marshmallow toasts, and our good meetings, made up and attended, as they are, by fellows working for the L. D., ought to keep any one in active, happy, blissful state. The fellowship among the L. D. members started by these affairs, we believe, will be a potent factor in the destiny of the society. Our record in athletics has been ably upheld by our basket ball, base ball, and track teams. The record of our basket ball team, whose line-up appears on the op- posit page, is one of the best. Although not always victorious, we were feared by all opponents. At the present writing, the line-up for the base ball and track teams has not yet been determined, but indications point to a successful season. A tennis tournament among L. D. members has been started, which ought to yield much whole- some sport. A football team also was started, but, for some reason our sister society would not agree to a game. . The Bellow, the official organ of the L. D. speaks for itself, and the picture of the staff on the opposite page clearly indicates the quality of the publication. In music, also, the L. D. stands supreme. The quartette of the society practices weekly and has already given several entertaining concerts. On the opposite page is a picture of a typical quartette practice. r Remember the Double Triangle-Nuff Sed. Freshmen have been barred from the L. D., but nevertheless it is apparent that the standard of the society is not being lowered. Although our inter-society debate team was defeated four out of its six International debators were L. D. men and three L. D. men out of four remained in the finals of the oratorical contest, which was won by an L. D. man. The development of material for next year is one of the most en- couraging features of the year's activities. I i As to social activities, there has been more of them than ever before in the history of the society. The purpose, the creating of good fellowship among the members, has been most successfully fulfilled. A new era for the L. D. is beginning in the crea- tion of the new fellowship among members by these feeds, picnics, etc., and the society is but beginning to come into its own.-GEORGE BUNGE, '1'7.

PAUL LYDEN The question for the Inter-Society debate of the year was, Resolved: That the policy of Philippine independence as set forth in the Democratic platform of 1912 should be carried into effect. For the second successive year the contest was won by the Wendell Phillips Debating Society. This furnishes the keynote to an appreciation of an especially successful year. At the beginning there was a rather small membership, but this condition was soon remedied. Active, consistent interest was manifested at all times. This, with Well- arranged programs, Which combined just the right amounts of fun and work, produced snappy, interesting meetings. The annual banquet was held in March. Practically every member of the so- ciety Was present to enjoy the program which provided absorbing entertainment for the evening. The society was very fortunate in the new members it secured this year. Their ability developed so greatly that, with the older members as a nucelus, the prospects for next year are bright indeed. This is especially true since the banner offered as as a prize for the inter-society debate will become the permanent property of the Wendell Phillips if Won next year. Page 68 ' We Ty' f ix v W i file DEBATE'S REWARD We'll wander down life's highway as the rest do, No doubt we'll meet some hardships on the way, We're bound to have to work and strive and labor, When we take our place Within the worldly fray. Oh! yes, we'll have to work like all the others, No matter how the mode or what the walk, But tho we'll have to work and strive and labor, We'll ne'er regret that we learned how to talk. We've never won an L. C for an emblem, Not a single pieture's found in the Hall of Fame, The one reward we get thru our debating Is a trump card in a worldly poker game. For tho the Hall of Fame did never see us, Altho we didn't win applause's race, We can always hold our own with those about us, We can talk as man to man and face to face. A Altho for years we've heard the laugh' of knockers, We've borne it all and never tried to shirk, And now that we have finished all the studying, We'll reap the one great harvest of the work. For altho we've gained no L. C's for our labors, We've learned where news a plenty may be found And the knowledge won thru four long years' debating, Shall help us to a place on higher ground.-G. M.

In response to this demand, early this semester eight boys under the leadership of Earl Hirshheimer organized what is known as the Boys' Dramatic Society of La Crosse High School. The purpose of this society, as you have probably gleaned from the above, is to pro- mote dramatics among the boys of the High School. Under the able leadership and coaching of Miss Green, We expect to put fortha creditable play in the near future. As our society has enrolled in it's membership some of the most promising dramatic talent in school, we are already confident of the success of the play. The society is bound to be very popular in school. A unique method of admis- sion of members has been adopted. In order to get only the cream of the school, new members will be admitted only after a competitive try-out. This try-out will be held at stated intervals, and anyone desiring to join the society will have a chance to show his ability. Meetings are held every Tuesday night. Everything points to a revival of boys' dramatics in 1916, and a most successful year for the Boys' Dramatic Society. OFFICERS President ...... .... E ARL S.

R ALPH SPENCE A The Commercial Club of the La Crosse High School was organized in March, 1916. It is composed of students of the Shorthand IV classes. There are now thirty- four members in the club. The club was organized for the purpose of supplementing the Work done in the regular commercial classes. The Work planned included the study of oflice equipment, talks by business men, and dictation Work. The addresses made by leading business men at the meetings have given the members not only an insight into their future Work, but have been an incentive to perfect their Work while in school. One of the many accomplishments of which the members of the Club are proud, is the establishment of the Model Ofiice in Room 303. Here two stenographers are kept busy every period of the day, attending to the Wants of our busy faculty. It is hoped that from this present organization a permanent Commercial Club will develop which Will be of lasting benefit to the school. OFFICERS President ....... ............ ..,. J o HN W.

Er zaehlt e9wa 25 Mitglieder. Der Zweck ist das Interesse fuer die deutsche Sprache und duetsches Wesen zu foerdern. Die Sitzungen finden jeden Vierten Montag statt, und dann werden interessante Programme ausgefuehrt. Es wird gesungen, kleine Lustspiele werden aufgefuehrt, Lichtbilder ueber Deutschlnd werden gezeigt. Am erfolgreichsten aber war unser Deutscher Abend am 12ten April. Der Besuch war ausserordentlich gross. Alle zollten dem Programm grossen Beifall und gingen recht zufrieden nach Hause. Der Verein hofft, noch groessere Dinge zu leisten. -M. E. K. '16, President.

DAS LUSTSPIEL EIGENSINN Am Abend des 12ten Aprils versammelten sich viele Studenten und Schulfreunde in dem Hoersaal der Hochschule, um das deutsche Lustspiel, Eignesinn, mitanzuh- oeren. Dieses Lustspiel wurde von Mitgliedern des deutschen Vereins, unter der lobenswerten Leitung Frl. Greenes, Gehilfslehrerin im Deutsehen, eingeuebt und aufgefuehrt. Die Studenten, Alf Gunderson, Ruth Krez, Viola Poehling, Ray Had- graft, Charles Weis and Marie Volz, Spielten die Rolleng sie spielten sie mit sicht- barer Liebe. Den Geist des Stueckes hatten sie gepackt und gaben ihn auch Wieder ihren Zuhoerern. Alle Anwesenden zollten der Auffuehrung lebhaften Beifall.- Da uns die Auffuehrung dieses kleinen Lustspiels so vollkommen gelungen ist, sind wir ermutigt in dieser Arbeit weiter zu fahreng und wir hoffen, unsere Schilfreunde werden es auch der Muehe Wert achten, wieder zu kommen.

M IRIAM ZUST One of the clubs which was organized in the High School Within the last half year, was the Art Club, formed by the pupils Who were interested in the advancement of art as a subject and who desired to be benefited by the study which is carried on at the meetings. A fund has been started for the purchase of a picture for the High School. The members have earned money for this fund by filling orders for place and tally cards. ' At the meetings which are held every other Thursday, History of Painting, is studied. q The majority of the art work for the Booster Annual Was done by the members of the club, and We feel sure, that in the future the Booster will profit even more by the artistic talent which will be developed in the persons who sho N that they are interested in the welfare of the Art Club . One of the best results which will come from this club will be the furthering of the use of our local talent in art in the Booster, and a stronger impetus to deeper Work, which will come from the mingling of students united in a common interest. Page 79 22555 I 51155 TI-IE SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club was formed for the promotion of a greater interest in things of a scientific nature. It was the object of the founders to obtain this interest by a thorough investigation of each of the factories and mills found in this city. At each meeting some industry Will be studied and the process of manufacture of the product noted. The club consists of fifteen charter members, chosen by the science faculty from all of the classes in science, and of five other members elected by the charter members. The faculty found some difficulty in selecting the members. Sixty students showed their desire to join the club, but as only twenty members were to be chosen, the re- mainder of the applicants had to be eliminated and are now on the Waiting list. At the first meeting, Professor Harris of the Agricultural School gave a very interesting talk on insects. He illustrated his talk by using his rare collection of moths and other insects. The talk was greatly enjoyed by all present. The subject of the next meeting was Rubber A demonstration of the method employed in the manufacture of tennis-shoes was given by one of the members of the club, and several interesting talks on the subject of Rubber were given by other members. A trip through the Rubber Mills was indulged in by the members of the club, and they had the opportunity of following the manufacture of all kinds of rubber footwear from the raw material to the finished product.

Elie Athletic ljezxr Two days after school began in the fall Coach Horne issued the first call for foot- ball candidates, and over half ahundred men reported and went at the work of clearing the field with a vim which was not lost during the entire year. Every man did his best week after week, and there were very few that quit. Three full teams kept going all the season, and at times a fourth team was formed of the scrubs. If the first team was successful and made a wonderful record, still more credit must be given the scrubs who were out every night for an uphill battle against older and more experienced men. The seconds put up some real battles at times without which the firsts would have been helpless in their big games. The seconds played several outside games and won them all. The schedule for the year was well arranged and in place of some of the weaker teams played the year before were substituted teams which certainly looked like hard nuts to crack, but the red and black succeeded in cracking all but one, and that one was severely bruised by the hammers of I-Iorne's back- field. The record made this year is beyond a doubt, the best ever made by a La Crosse team of pigskin enthusiasts. The offen- sive record, while not totaling the heights reached in some other years, is wonderful in View of the kind of teams met. The defense was perfect if one considers touchdowns. Only twice during the entire season did a team possess the ball inside our ten yard line, and one of these times was because of a fumble. A lone dropkick made by Shealy of Chippewa Falls from the forty yard line stands for points in the oppositions scoring on the La Crosse record which follows: Tomah ........ 0 La Crosse ....... 41 Winona ........ O La Crosse ....... 43 Eau Claire ..... O La Crosse ....... 36 Chippewa Falls . 3 La Crosse .,..... 19 Page 86 Sparta ......... 0 La Crosse . . .62 St. Paul ....... .0 La Crosse ....... O Madison ....... 0 La Crosse ....... 34 Total ....., 3 235 The above record in the opinion of the La Crosse papegs and a goodly number of out of town papers gives to La Crosse the right to the State title. But one team in the state, Milwaukee East, has a like record, and by a fairly direct comparative score method our team has an advantage of twenty-three points. But aside from the record of brawn, there are several other satisfactory things connected with the team this year. As always La Crosse played a clean game and acted in other towns in a way that im- proved our reputation. Goodfellowship was always in evidence and the harmony called for by Yuk was always there both on and off the field. The school spirit was fine which is essential to the success of any team. Also the business men were most loyal and must be thanked for their hearty support of athletics. Men lost by graduation are Hackner, Laumann., Endres, Kulcynski, Bott, Roe- llig, and Captain Reget, every one of them stars and every one of them leaving big gaps in the line-up for next year. However, Captain Spettle will have such men as Gerrard, Blatter, Bunge, Feinberg, Layman., Swennes, H. Reget, and Nelson back again, and with the wealth of second team material another best team that ever represented the school should be developed. The main credit for the wonderful team must be given Coach Horne and at this time when it is reported that he will not be with us next year we will say that La Crosse High School will never have a better or more popular coach than he has been. Mr. Spence and Mr. Puckett must also be thanked for their faithful work in developing the group of stars -l ll ll lf-.swi which again made the name of La Crosse look big on the athletic map of the state. Soon after the football season ,half the boys in school turned ouifor one form or another of basketball. This number was reduced to about one hundred. The class teams were selected, and Horne's squad was chosen but beyond a doubt, the tos- sing game is the most popular game in school in point of numbers participating at least. The class league was organized this year under a new system and was by far the most interesting ever attemp- ted. The teams were quite evenly bal- anced and the large crowds that viewed the games were not disappointed when they expected speed. After over a month of elimination contests the Sophomores won over the Juniors for the title in two closely contested games. The games throughout the year were clean, fast and interesting in the extreme. First team basketball started off with a rush which forboded ill to our enemies, the first two games being Won easily, although consternation was caused at the resignation of Kulcynski just before the Tomah game. The third game was with Baraboo who are now the state champions, and after a hard battle we had to give in to a margin of two points. From then on, games were won and lost quite evenly, the record for the season being five games Won and four lost. Every game was a battle and the fre- quent shifts which were made in the line- up were all for the best, but better teams were played and we hope Captain Lay- man will have better luck next year. Men lost by graduation are Roellig, W. Reget, Bott, and Captain Kelly, every one of whom played hard, consistent games the Whole season. The record: Alumni ........ 26 LaCrosse ....... 41 Tomah ........ 14 La Crosse ....... 24 Baraboo ......, 25 La Crosse ....... 23 Madison ....

However a good team is a certainty from the number of experienced men. Without doubt some dark horses will appear. Captain Kulcynski is working hard, and with such men as Lilly, Reget, Liskovec, King, Weeks, Evans and Schall to back him up, La Crosse should win in this section of the state. As in the preceding year there will be no first team in baseball, but a manager, Bob Roeder, has been appointed for inter- class baseball which league promises to be a big success. As yet only little in- terest has' been shown because of bad weather, but undoubtedly the national game will also go through with the rush that has characterized every other sport during the year. The finances of the year have not bal- anced quite as well asrthe year before. Several timber binds, however, have been sold which has put things on a sound basis. However, all the teams were fur- nished with the best equipments, and with all bills paid, there is still a considerable sum to start the 1916-17 year. Much credit must be given Faculty Manager Gouldin for the way in which he has handled not only the business end of affairs but also the schedule. The game arranged with St. Paul Central was a big success and the football team next year will undoubtedly appreciate the trip north. All in all it was certainly been 'a big year in athletics at the La Crosse High School. Page S7 SWENNES, ZEISLER, NELSON, MGR.

We'd work together, wouldn't we. The last speaker's name was Lawrence but only older persons ever called him that. Among all the boys he was known by the brief but ap- propriate title of Runt. As he lay in the sand With his chum, Sam Rawlins, Runt dreamed of the great detectives such as he had read of in the serial story then running in the Cornville Star, Wouldn't it be fine to hunt out all the crooks and travel all over the world,? Sam said. And just think of all the adventures we'd have, added the other. For a moment there was a silence as the two thot of the thrills of a detective's life. But suddenly their peace was inter- rupted. There was a taunting cry of Chaw beef and a sudden crashing in the bushes on the other side of the swim- ming pool. ' Then they realized what had happened. They had lain in the warm sand too long and now the last of those to leave the water had probably tied some fancy knots in the unprotected clothing. With all haste Sam and the Runt swam across. As it was too late to seeithe jokers and Page 96 impossible to pursue them, the two started to untie the hard knots. Seems awful cold now, doesn't it, said Sam as he worked shiveringly at a knotted shirt-sleeve. Uh hum, grunted Runt as he used his teeth in a desparate effort to loosen up a particularly bad knot. Say he added as he let go to get his breath, here's a chance to be adetective. Find out who tied these. I don't believe there was more than one, said Sam. These knots aren't quite so hard as usual Remember that time we Hchawed beef on Sliver Thompson? When we had a bunch,of fellows to pull the knots good and tight and then dip 'them in water so they'd shrink still tighter It's awful hard to untie them. You know Sliver had to tear off the sleeves of his shirt. Tom Sands was the last oneIsaw, said Runt. He left just as we were swimming over here. Said he had some Work to do before supper. But he wasn't the one who did this, said Sam with the secretive air of a great detective. I've got some clues already and I bet I can find who did it. -l ll ll lf-Si- What did you find? I didn't see anything. With a knowing look Sam shook his head silently. What are you goinpto do if you do find him, Sam? We can fix that all right. A little ducking and then I know where there's some fine smart-Weed. The two shivered as they hastily dressed. However, they walked back to the little town very quickly for it was almost supper time and there was much wood yet to be split. When Runt saw Sam the next morn- ing, he asked if the one who tied the knots had been discovered. You bet, Sam answered, I found him and we can get him this afternoon when we go swimming. V Their conversation turned to the last installment of the detective story. My a detective must know a lot, said Runt. Look how Winton Hall found out what killed that man. Say, what is the Marsh test for arsenic? I'd show you but I don't have any arsenic, was Sam's bluff. Just as he didn't want to admit that his clue of the afternoon before was simply a knife dropped by the criminal, he didn't want to say that he really hadn't the slightest idea of even the appearance of arsenic, to say nothing of this test. As they talked the two walked slowly toward the barn in the rear. Practically every one in the little farming town kept a cow and Sam's parents were no excep- tion. Where's the calf? asked Runt. I don't know. Probably behind the barn. That young cousin Wilbut of mine has been chasing it pretty hard. He catches holdof it's tail and then it runs around and pulls him all around the field. A moment later Sam was startled by the sight of the calf lying in a stiff un- natural position near the water-trough. Quickly they ran over to it. Has it got a fit? asked Runt. With a truly professional manner Sam made a brief examination. He put his hand over the animal's heart. Not a flutter. Stone dead. Whats the matter? Has it been poisoned? At this query Sam looked up quickly. He had once read of a poisoning ring which had killed many cattle. Perhaps this was the work of the Black Hand but was sure that his father had received no warning letters. The thot of a band of organized poisoners caught his imag- ination. Sam looked about hastily: Hurry up, We've got to get this calf out of sight right away. We'll conceal it and keep it secret that it died. That may be a better chance of finding who did it. After a good deal of heavy work they managed to get the body of the dead animal into the barn. There it was put into an unused stall, and covered with an old horse blanket. They left it there after both had looked it carefully over. It was Runt who had noticed somethin g white on the tongue of the calf. U Maybe its poison, arsenic, he whis- pered. He, too, had visions of a poisonerT' We'll soon find out about that was Sam's answer. He clipped off a little bit of the animal's tongue and scraped up on his piece some of the mysterious white. Now you'll see what the Marsh test is, he said. His ideas were of the most vague and shadowy sort but Sam didn't want to back down and admit that he wasn't as good as the great Winton Hall of story fame. I'll tell you how it is, Runt. The way you do it is to put this piece of tongue in some marsh water. That's why they call it the Marsh test, you know. -After it has soaked for six hours we hold an acetylene fiame over the Water. If there is arsenic it makes a gas and the- flame Page 97 lli i lll rl-.si ! turns blue. After picking up an small pail, the two started quickly for the marsh below the swimming hole. When they reached it, Runt immediately started to dip up some of the water. That's no good, said Sam. You'll have to wade out and get some from the middle. Runt protested, but after a heated discussion as to the necessity of getting water from the center of the marsh and of the danger of quick-sand, he waded out. However, he didn't go very far. He wasn't convinced that it was necessary, and, too, the bottom seemed pretty muddy and soft and the water was surprisingly cold. When they had carefully put the bit of tongue to soak, the question of an ace- tylene lamp arose. We can get one from Jim Merton, said Sam. His older brother has one he uses when he goes camping. Jim Won't get it for you, was Runt's' opinion. Sure he will. Sam did not deign to explain that it was Jim's knife which he had found beside his knotted clothes the afternoon before. Jim didnit loan them the lamp very willingly. Well you can have it till to- morrow. Be sure and bring it back though or my brother will find you took it and then you'll get all that's coming to you. Immediately after supper Sam hurried out to discuss the case with Runt. Didn't your folks ask anything about the calf? the latter inquired. Yes, but I scraped out of that some- how. Did you hear about anyone who might have done it? Yes. Pa said there was a couple of tramps around town last night. I.et's try it now. All right, was the answer. Page 98 Stealthily they slipped to the back of the barn. The apparatus for the test was arranged. There was a little difficulty with the carbide lamp, however. How do you work it?. asked Runt. There's some carbide in it so all you have to do is to put some Water in that other place and turn it on. . How do you mean? I'll do it. Sam filled it all right. His experience with such a light did not hinder that. The trouble started when he turned the water on. He allowed too much to fall upon the carbide. The lamp made a queer bubbling sound and there Was a dull popping. The iireworks started when Sam lit his match. First there was a loud bang which so startled the luckless experimenter that he dropped the lamp to the ground. Gas was being generated too fast for all to be 'forced through the burner and the excess burst into a sheet of flame which made it impossible to pick up the lamp. Sam's father who had come out to the barn was attracted by the noise and the strange actions of the boys. Then there was no chance to scrape out of an ex- planation. His father Was greatly sur- prised to hear that the calf had died but he was able to tell then what the poison was without bothering about such a scientific test as Sam had begun. Probably it got at some of that rat poison I put out yesterday. Thus were Sam's hopes blasted. His bubble collapsed. There wasn't any poison ring after all. The next issue of the Cornville Star would not have a long article telling of the brilliant work of the young detectives who had dis- covered a great conspiracy. When Sam' crawled into bed, a little earlier and a little more quietly than usual that evening, there was another thing which disturbed him. My, what will Jim's brother do when he sees that lamp!

Spring has come! gaily called. each pert songster in the wood. The Robins were gayest of all. It seemed as though their small throats might burst with song, each tried to out-do the other. Spring had come! Birds who spend the cold months in the south, rejoiced to be back to the budding oaks, maples, and elms. There were sleek black crows, whose song ,of joy does not exactly please us, greyish brown bits of swallows, bright blue birds, neat, gray cat-birds, tiny, black and yellow gold- finches, and many other of the bird folk. A large family of Redbreasts dwelt in the inviting branches of an old oak tree. Near were the homes of many other birds. At the edge of this wood-lot lay a pleasant meadow, which was very use- ful to the inhabitants. The many and various weeds growing there furnished them with food, though they gave the farmer trouble. After a shower, fat worms could be heard beneath the green turf. QA robin looks so intelligent when he stands, his head cocked on one side, listening for his prey.j Also in this happy place ran a joyous sparkling stream. At such a time-vspring,fan.d in such a place-meadow, wood, and stream, the Redbreast family decided to give a party in honor of spring. The decision was made after a lengthy chirping on a dead branch. The invitation to all the birds and their families, was sent around by several young Robins. Robins knew Where choice worms could be found, a held of tender grass and clover, 'and a fine patch of weeds. For tea the guests might drink the clear water of the brook. Now, when We mortals give a party, a great deal of trouble is taken to bring food to our guests, but birds take their guests to the food. In the Wood the spring blossoms heard the plans and open- ed their tender petals to decorate the wood by their presence. To aid as it could, the stream played ite inerriest tune to the dance of the tasseling blossoms on the trees. So altogether the field and wood was a place of beauty. All was ready when the sun hung high in blue space. For many miles around iiocks of birds Were seen flying to the meadow, that after- noon. The guests had spent much time preparing themselves for the party. In far away trees they pruned. their feathers until they looked very respectable, many fine and handsome. To small birdies the party was a wonderful event, though the journey to it was tiring. Chip, Claw, Tweddle-dee,f' and A Page 99 ll il ll lf-Sill other familiar sounds rose from the assem- bly. 'Under the Robin's leadership, the party started for the feast. The birds flew, making many curious forms in the air. Some formed a V in their flight. They Huttered down to a newly plowed field to hunt for worms and grubs. VVhen some young birds, experimenting in this, by accident discovered a large, fierce looking grub, they were greatly frigh- tened. Ond bad bird stole a struggling morsel from a neighbor and flew away with it. On the whole, however, this treat was enjoyed by everyone. Many did not want to leave when a shrill signal was given for them to rise. On to the weedy patch a cloud of flying forms proceeded. Several mother canaries while pecking seeds from a thistle, were engaged in relating family affairs, or gossip, as we say. Some greedy birds ate so much that it was difficult for them to follow to the pasture. A lazy cow lay like the sphinx, overlooking th scene of merrymaking. The birds likedi the fresh tender grass. Many exciting games were played after the flock returned to the R0bin's home. They hopped about in the tree tops, a performance like a lively dance. A very delightful concert was given by the dainty, gold finches, whose sweet voices blended with the music of the stream, an old raven tried to sing the base. All at once the death note of a robin broke the melody. Each little feathered body rose to the tree tops in its fright. A sly cat had come quickly and quietly upon them, now under her savage claw lay the dead body of a Red Breast. Again, when the sun had dropped from sight, the sweet bird voices were heard. The Robin family was alone. Now and then, sadder than in the morning, was heard a soft Spring has come! The Mystery of the Cave JOHN DENIGAN. In a small clearing among the trees stood a good sized tent capable of holding three or four persons. Three boys were sitting around a fire, evidently eating their supper, for it was now dark, the sun having gone down nearly two hours ago. They had decided to spend their summer vacation in the Rockies and this was their first day. Say, said Tom Langdon, we'll have to do a little exploring tomorrow. W ell, I know a good place to explore, replied a voice from the darkness, and a tall, well-built man of about middle age stepped into the light cast by the fire. Page 100 My, name is Burke, and I was on my way to Rockford when I saw your fire and thought I'd find out who my neigh- bors are. You see, I live about a half mile west of here. Did you hear the story of that cave one mile north of this place? No, said Joe Kennedy. Well, for the past ten years no one has been able to get inside, nor has any one seen the inhabitant. After talking a few minutes longer he lumped up, and bidding them good-bye, disappeared into the forest. After he had gone, Frank Roberts induced the others to agree to join in an attack upon the cave. -l ll ll lfswi l Early the next morning, they set out. Arriving at the cave, ahey advanced to- wards the mouth only to be checked by a volley of stones. Whoever's in there has good aim, growled Joe, who was rubbing his leg where a stone had hit him. The boys then moved off and climbed up the mountain a little ways to a spot directly over the mouth of the cave, jump- ed off, and rushed in. They were met near the entrance by a man in tattered clothes with a tangled mass of thick long hair. In his right hand he held a large club, evidently made of a branch of a tree. With this he struck at Tom. Tom ducked and tackled the man's legs, who, taken back by this unexpected move, fell backwards, hitting his head against the wall of the cave. Tom jumped to his feet, and all three stood on guard over the prostrated man. As the man did not move they concluded that he was unconscious and carried him hack to their camp. When they had laid the man in the tent, Frank said, How are we going to find out who he is, because he isacer- tainly insane, and therefore we can't learn anything from him. The man lay unconscious till noon next day when Frank, who was watching him, saw him open his eyes and say, Steel has dropped to fifty. I am going to un- load my stock on the market. He named several people, whom Frank decided were his wife and children. After that he slept until night, and then he awoke, and, look- ing around, saw the boys near his cot. After telling the man who they Were, and answering several strange questions, Tom asked him what year it was. The man gave a date which was ten years behind the present time. Burke said that was the number of years the cave had been inhabited, exclaimed Joe. Frank mentioned the names he had heard the man give. The man said they were the names of his wife and children. The boys saw that he had recovered his reason. The fall in the cave had brought it back. The man told them that he was wealthy and had made his fortune in Wall Street, New York. While camping in that region, he had wandered into the forest and was caught there during an electric storm and struck down by a falling tree. They became great friends. After a few days he left them to look for his family in New York. . ...., Page 101 -ll il ll ll-S!! ! A College Prank H Did you hear about the freshman in the tank the other night? began one big, stalwart sophomore to five of his comrades. No. tell us, said John a red-headed fellow who sat in the back of the room. Jim who was the first to speak leaned back in his chair and began: Well, it was night before last. We decided to duck a freshman by the name of Sam who swears he will not wear a green cap. Two of the boys got him and we threw him head-first into the water. We supposed he could swim. but the moment he hit the water he sank. Thinking he had been taken with cramps or couldn't swim, about one half of the boys made one grand' dive into the Water with all their clothes on. As soon as we hit the water the freshman came up at the other end of the tank and walked off givingus the Ha! Ha! We were so fooled we could do nothing but stare. The joke Was on us and now we'll have to get even. What are you going to do? exclaimed one boy. Well I was thinking. Ah! I have an idea. You know he wants to join the Jesters Club so, as a part of his in- itiation let us make him go to the country and swipe two chickens from some farmer's chicken house. Let one of us dress as a farmer and catch him, and give him a good scare. Bet he Won't be quite so gay then l The fellows voted this a capital idea and Jim was elected to play the part of the farmer. The next week was initiation week for the new members of the J esters Club. Sam was told he must go to a farmer's and steal two chickens as part of his initiation which he agreed to do. The Page 102 following night Das set for the time to get the chickens. This night proved to be clear and cool, but it was the time of the month when the moon sets early in the eveningg thus the greater portion of the night was quite dark. About-eleven Jim set out with five of his comrades for the farm which was three miles beyond the city limits. They had gone about a mile when the boys separated. Jim was going on and the other boys hiding in some bushes by the road with the intention of waiting for and following Sam to see the fun. When Jim came to the farm he stationed himself outside the chicken house and waited for Sam. He began to get stiff from the cold and stooping, when suddenly he heard a low noise. There, I bet Sam's in the coop now, thought Jim and he crept on his hands and feet to the door of the house. Just inside the low door stood a box over which he stum- bled when coming through the door. The hens and geese set up a cackling and quacking. He looked around and much to his astonishment saw no Sam. At the same time the opposite door open- ed and a farmer put his gray head in the door and said: Here, boys! I've cornered the thief. Quick! Come and get him. At once two men stepped up and mar- ched Jim to the woodshed for that night. The boys whom Jim stationed by the road waited for about an hour, and not seeing Sam pass, and Jim not returning, started back in search of Jim. They looked till about four in the morning and still unable to find him, started for the club house. Here they found that Sam -l ll ll ll-.331 Q LCHS had brought two chickens in about twelve o'clock. I The next morning Jirg was taken to the sheriff's ofhce. It was a low, one- roomed log house surrounded by oak trees. In one corner of the room stood a desk, behind which sat a tall man chewing a straw. I-Iis hat was pushed back on his head, and his feet were perched on the top of his desk. Ji1n was led before this Judge. After hearing the complaint of the farmer, he asked for Jl111,S story, and Jim started to explain. The sheriff at last said: is stopping him said, Did you get the chickens? Oh, you bet I did, answered Sam, and some nice, fine ones they are. And say, by the way, I didn't go in any chicken coop, but got them from a barn which wasn't even locked. Say, Sam, you went to a different farm from the one we sent you to. But it's all right, and he walked away tired, dirty and broken in spirit. After he had gone Sam said, I told him the truth although I wasn't even in the country. He didn't know that I Well, if you can get any one here to tell us who you are and why you were caught in a chicken coop at about one in the night, all right, and he went on chewing his straw. Jim's father was summoned by phone and Jim was put in the jail till his father should arrive. I-Ie did not get here till the evening, and then Jim was dismissed but not until his father had explained and had given the sheriff five dollars for Jim's lodging and the trouble he had caused the sheriff. I Coming back to town Jim met Sam and overheard them talking in the club room about my initiation. And the next day bought two live chickens from the but- cher. Yes! and I told the farmer and he made plans to capture Jim and turn the scare on him, and he went off chuckling to himself and muttering, 'Guess I put it over on those big-headed sophomores again. The next day at the dinner table all the juniors and Seniors had the laugh on the Sophomores and especially on Jim, who was forced to admit Sam wasn't so green a freshman after all. Page 103 -l ill lll lfeii Good For the Mayor! MILDRED E. SCOTT '16 ' It was the regulation 'little town depot g the same baggage-room, waiting-room, and ticket-office that can be duplicated from Oshkosh to Tallahasee, and from Maine to Washington. The same long wooden platform with the loose board, and the same cinder path beyond. The same wind swirled little eddies of dust and cinders from the roof to the platform and back to the roof again. The usual village loafers supported the sides of the depot while they carried on their weighty 'business of chewing tobacco. Perhaps the only distinctive thing in the whole setting the scrawny figure of a little girl stood at one end of the platform. was who Her torn and much patched clothes,her pale face and big appealing eyes with their half-starved look, contrasted strong- ly with the polished red apples and glowing oranges she carried in a basket. A train whistled and all turned to look down the track. The little girl watched eagerly, while she drew her thin coat closerabout her throat. The train roared up, stoppedgpanting, and the usual business of swinging mail bags and banging express packages began. A fewtraveling men got off and some curious heads were thrust out of the car windows. Hopefully the little girl ap- proached the traveling men and timidly offered her wares only to be thrust im- patiently aside with scarcely a glance. A little downcast, she went up to the windows and held up her basket with its tempting fruit. All along the length of the train she went, and although some spoke kindly, some looked, and others Page 104 smiled pityingly, no one bought anything from her. Tears of disappointment were gathering in her eyes and the train was about to start when a tall, dignified man in black, stepped to the platform and beckoned to her. The tears changed to a smile and she ran eagerly up to him. He asked for three apples and she gave them to him. Just as he put his hand in his pocket, the train began to move.. Fumbling in his pocket, the man ran along the plat- form, followed anxiously by the little girl who looked up at him expectantly. Arriving at the car steps, the man jumped up them hastily, and with not so much as a glance behind, laughed and bit deep into an apple. Just here a stranger descending the steps precipately carried the hrst man back with him to the platform. This stranger was a younger man and his eyes shone with determination as he grasped the other firmly by the arm. I think, he said slowly, I think that you have forgotten something, Burke, Your desire to catch your train again made this little lady slip from your mind. And he pointed to the little girl who stood torn between relief and fear. I'll thank you to mind your own business, Allen! snapped the man ad- dressed as Burke. It is very much my business! re- torted Allen. Aside from the fact that you played a mean scounderily trick on a poor girl, it will prove very good news- paper reading against you in your cam- paign to oust me from the mayor-ship -l ll ll l-Si ! of Indianapolis. Can't you see the head- lines-'Boss' Burke Steaf Pennies from Child? It will sound Well, Won't it, op- posite a column of your free election drinks? Perhaps if you paid her the money I might, I say I might forgets- M. At this moment Allen's air of deter- mination wilted, he dropped Burke's arm, winked rapidly several times, and then grabbed his handkerchief and vainly tried to dislodge a measly little-cinder from his eye. Well for the love ol' Mike! Say this is a moving picture concern you're Working for Allen, not a green house! You spoiled one hundred feet of film right there. Why couldn't you wait five minutes to take that cinder out! What did you think it was, a submarine? Now go to the be- ginning and put some pep into it! Mary, for goodness sake, stop thinking about scalloped oysters you had for dinner and remember you're starving! And Burke, if you get that undertaker's smile on you're face again today, I'll fire you! Now get ready! - -1 Just Because of a Thought IRENE EDWARDS Aunt Sarah, look at that lady running. She's trying to catch the train. I wonder if she'll catch it? Oh, yes, Aunt Sarah replied, the conductor is waiting for her. If she didn't have that heavy grip she could run alittle faster. Just look at the size of it. It's a small trunk. It's something like the one Rob has. Yes, it is exactly like it. The initials on the are let's see--yes, they are R. L., Rob's initials. I wonder where she got his grip? Don't you, Aunt Sarah? No, I don't. There is more than one person in the world with R. L, for his or her initials, and Luella, I do wish you would be quiet for a few minutes. I'd like to take a nap. The speaker was an elderly lady of about forty years. I-Ier hair was gray and was coiled, very attractively, on thetop of her head. She looked very tired, as if she needed the rest. Her companion was a young lady about eighteen years old. She had a great mass of thick black hair which hung about her forehead in little ringlets. They were both on their way to Cam- bridge to attend the commencement ex- ercises. Their home was in the southern part of Maine. Although Luella seemed a rather snobbish sort of a person, her aunt was just the opposite. Her face invited confidence and she was the mother of the small town where they lived. Rob and Luella had been born there and after the death of their father and mother, they lived there with their aunt and uncle. Now, Rob was to graduate so Luella had persuaded her aunt to go with her to attend the exercises. Rob had told her many incidents of his school life and she was anxious to see the place where these things had happened. I do wish we would get there. This train is terribly slow. Luella thought. I wonder what became of that lady who got on the train. I would just like to know where she got Rob's grip. I sup- pose she met him at some party or maybe Page 105 lll ll Il l LCHS? I she clerks in a store and he met her there. That must be the way of it. But how strange that he should lend her his grip. They must be awfully good friends. Now, when I come to think of it, I be- lieve he wrote sort of funny lately. Why, maybe he's engaged. I suppose that is why he's so anxious that we should come. I don't think that's fair. He should have told me first. He always told me all about his friends before. How strange it is. Luella, what are you thinking about? I have had a lovely nap while you were so preoccupied. Look out of the window. Those must be the University buildings. Yes, I believe they are, Luella re- plied in a tired voice. Let's get our things together. A while before Luella had been very anxious to see her brother but now, thinking he was deceiving her she wished she was home. They slowly reached the station and Luella saw her brother on the platform. He was looking anxiously about. Then she saw the lady get off. Bob looked at her and then ran toward her. He shook hands very heartily and Luella thought he looked as if he would rather do some- thing else. Luella was feeling very angry by this time and when she stepped on the plat- .AQ form and saw her brother coming toward her she lookedgxs if she had never seen him before. Hello, Luella, Rob exclaimed, What is the matter? You look like a storm cloud. I feel the same way, too, Luella replied. Why? - The very idea of your asking. Who is that person? Luella said very angrily. I Oh, him? He is my room mate, Tom Hastings. He has hiscostume on which he wears in the ,class play. Didn't you see through his disguise? Why are you crying? Well, Luella replied, with a sob I thought that you were a very good friend of hers,-I mean his and so I was angry because you hadn't told me about him. I thought he was a woman all the time. At this moment Tom came up and was introduced to Luella. Later, Luella found out that he had kept on his costume which he had gone to fit, because he would have been late for the train had he not done so. The next summer Tom Hastings camped with Luella and Rob. A few summers later a very interesting event took place in a small church in Boston. What it was can easily be imagined. .-'- M--.

You seem to think there's no- body home where my brain is concerned, you ask such simple questions. Why don't you ask if I remember the first time I ever proposed? I rather guess I do re- member them! It was that summer after my freshman year at college when I was trying to induce the world in general to buy Henry Mobiles to pay for my boarding-house diet the next year. You can believe me, and I think you do, I was afflicted with all the nerve commonly generated around a sophomore big-head. I made great splurges with my shiny tin, crank-'em-up- and-maybe-they'll-go carts. The horses in the neighborhood were just beginning to get a working knowledge of autos and seldom did anything lively enough happen to incur a five dollar bridge fine, so I thought it was safe to get the ladies interested. I picked out the biggest woman in the Ladie's Aid, and the one social organization, and took her out joy riding at fifty per. She got so excited with the idea that it was possible for her to hold the wheel without the thing running away with her, that she switched the entire interest of the Ladies' Aid over from the heathen in India to autos in America and henpecked her poor husband until he finally came over in despair and told me to send over one of my three hundred sixty-five go-carts. The next week you couldn't have held me under your thumb for ten minutes I was so busy avoiding prospective law suits. Evidently trees and telephone poles and fences looked just the same as roads to her. The only trouble was that the country held poor me responsible for the results. ' The noise apparatus on the car had about as much energy as a prize-package whistle, but she kept it tooting all the time up and down the country until the echoes had nervous prostration. It must have been that squawk that got her the community audience. The rest of the village were still using rustic horns closely' imitating a sick calf. The community, ,did I say? Well if it could have been called such before Hezy Har- kins had voted in favor of the project in hand. No, not I-Iepzibah! It might have stood for her real name, Hestor, but it didn't. About the first two hours I spent in that town, the postmistress pointed her out to me along with a lot of semtimental nonsense she ought to have forgotten with her youth. The next day she took up an hour and twenty- three minutes of my good time in dis- coursing at large on the how and when and whereafter of Hester I-Iarkins' being left a widow at the early age of-well, she said twenty-five, but you know the joke-with S1323 in the U. S. paper in the care of the Farmers' Bank. Among the rest imparted to me was the derivation of I-Iezy from Hesita- tion. That appellation described almost every action of her life and had been made just to fit her. Why, if the angel Gabriel had flown the last call for judgment Day with his trumpet, she would have waited until Page 107 -ll ii lil lf-Si I! she had found out Whether every one of her neighbors Were going or not and had seen them all start out before she made up her mind to join the procession. But then she would have hit up on high and beaten them all to the pearly gates. That's just the kind Hester Harkins Was. It took a small earthquake to start her going, but once on the Way she didn't stop. The necessary quake had come when the rotund ruler of the Ladies' Aid bought a car and dared to manage it herself. It was too much, in fact. For the next fortnight, Hesitation, no longer hes- itating, haunted the freight-oflice at every train time in anticipation of the arrival of the most scarlet car on the market for the amount of her bank account. That car was the joy of the town when it tooted its first toot to society. The village band started up Hail to the Conquering Heroine but failed to make progress against I-Iesitation's horn, a reg- ular siren, you know the kind, that could have put the Lorelie out of business any day. It Was the sensation of the weekly issue of the Poor Village Gazette. In the next three days, Hesitation was the recipient-and rejector-of twice as many proposals in all degrees of dramatic ardor. I did not Wait to count the' rest but departed from the battle front with speed. Managing the sale of those two autos caused all the insomnia I've ever been troubled with, but I congratulate myself Whenever I think of the clever strategy I devised to do it. Did I propose again? To Hesitation? No, my good friend, I did notg and she could not because all this happened just five months before the beginning of Leap Year!

THE GYM EXHIBITIONS For the first time the boys and girls of the High School gave a joint gym exhibi- tion under the direction of Mr. Horne and Miss Wylie. To accomodate the crowds the exhibition was given twice, March 30th and 31st, and each time the Hixon gym- nasium was packed with people, fully two thousand having viewed both performances. There were 'four numbers by the girls and four numbers by the boys. The former put on a game, two exercises, dumb bells and clubs and a march, while the boys did some excellent work in tumbling, on the high bars, the parallel bars, the bucks and the horses. The students who took part as well as Miss Wylie and Mr. Horne, deserve great praise for the excellence of the performance. COMMENCEMENT From the June Class, Edna Anderson and William Sanders took first and second places respectively for class honors. Eunice McGlachlan and Joeina Ewe took first and second from the February Class. Edna Anderson, William Sanders and Alf Gunderson will be the.commencement speakers for the June Class. Alf Gunderson was chosen by the Faculty. - Page 111 -Il il lll l-.gki l ll LCHS THE JUNIOR PROM On May 12 the Juniors held their Annual Prom. Thctcommittee of Kenneth Kinnear, Mary Farnam, Leona Yearly, and Jack Brindley, not to be outdone by previous Proms, spared no Work in making this a most attractive and happy event, and consequently transformed the gym into a place of great beauty. It was held in the Hixon Gym which was decorated to the extent that one of our star track men looked around, blinked his eyes and asked where he Was. Why you are in the gym, of course. Wha-a-t, Ithoughtlhad died and gone to heaven. Just then the harps struck up a Waltz and it was heaven, indeed. ORATORICAL CONTEST On May 5 the annual all State Oratorical Contest Was held at Viroqua. Sparta took first in this event but our speakers Won both second and third places. On the same night in the High School Auditorium the Girls' Declamatory Contest was held. In this La Crosse took second and Sparta first. The spirit shown this year has far surpassed that of other years. Friday night the Auditorium was nearly filled. Just twice as many came to the Inter-Scholastic Debate, certainly a great improvement. If this spirit prevails, the school can not help but clean up the State next year. Let's keep it up and next year We will not be the Weak sister in oratory, but the big brother who will show Sparta how. SCHOOL CALENDAR FOR 1915--16 Sept. 1. School opened. ' Oct. 7. Eng.

OUCI-Il! BULLETIN NEW STUDENT ANSWERS BACK WHEN QUESTIONED BY MAC. The principal of La Crosse high school was enrolling a new pupil, who was togged out in a suit of clothes so new it hurt him. Just before the boy came in the principal heard the sound of the fire engines in the street. - What is your name? the principal asked the lad. Selmer Buylow, was the reply. Where was the fire, Selmer? asked the principal as he wrote down the name. There was no replyg only a scowl. I say, where was the fire? repeated the principal. W Don't get gay with me, was the somewhat astonishing answer. Dere wasn't no fire, see.

Its appealance was followed by the general storm of knocks from the general bunch of knockers. But, af ter being pulled apart and scrutinized minutely from every point, it was still acknowledged by the majority to be a pretty good thing. Furthermore, we are convinced of the fact that the student body has come to realize that there are certain questions which, when put to a member of thestaff are sure to cause a sensation. For example:-Freshie sticks head in Booster ofiice and asks, Say, when's the Booster coming out ? Editor- What do you think I am? A prophet? CWhizz! Bang! Crash! Webster crashes against door.j Another Example: Knocker- Say, can't you guys do better'n this? This paper is fierce! Hirshie- Well, who on earth do you think you are? If you Want the job just come here and take it. QStrange to say, no one takes up the ofl'er.j Behind the Scenes at the 'Chimes of Normandym. Time-7:45 P. M. Friday April 28, 1916. Great Volume of Sound from Room 2.f- That's where my Money Goes, etc. Room 1.- Please put some more red on my lips. Oh, aren't you a sight! Did you blacken your eyebrows? Doesn't Gaspard look fierce? Oh dear! My goodness, etc. Room 3- Ha, ha, she cried in fiendish glee. Br-r-r-I'll have you yet my pretty maid. Isn't this some costume? Great agony and emotion expressed by Germaine--Is My Bond Woman. i Room 8-'fS0me pie! What? Where did you get this pop? Ran a bill over at the City Grocery. Rummy-I win! Rooms 10-11-12. Powder me up, Mary! Say do I look all right? Aren't you nervous? How's my make-up? Oh, does'nt Frank look just too handsome in that pink suit? Mr. Gouldin Cin voice of authorityj- I say, you, let that alone. Get out o' those wings. Didn't I tell ya not to touch that?

TO THE PUBLIC: The management has taken no pains, neither has it gone to any expense to make the audience feel at ease during this program, however objectionable the acts may be. If the ladies wish to pin their hats to the seat in front of them, we beg them to be careful and pin them on the seat, not on the person in front of them. Rubbers, Fords, Mackinaws, babies, Beta Sigmas and other nuisances should be left in the lobby or taken into the alley. No smoking, clapping, kissing, loud talk- ing or chewing of gum shall be tolerated by order of the Board of Health or other disturbances. We request you to lend us your co-operation in making a million dollars for the management. We have no competition so you can't go elsewhere. If you hear your name called from the stage, do not go to the office to answer the call, as We call names to advertise, kill time, and call your attention to the beautiful tenor voice of our stage manager. , Page 129 TRY THE AIR AT THE STAR QAir Changed Weeklyj .

I JINXVILLE HERALD The joy expressed by the ladies over the boquets which they Wore at the dance, Was Wonderful. The only trouble was that the boquets were too large. SCOOPTOWN GAZETTE U It was the first time that White carnations were seen in a corsage boquet. The boquets looked more like funeral pieces. Il ll ll l !s EV1uin Stews With Apologies to Just Sixty Years Ago? , The times they have sadly changed-Raymond Since We climbed the grassy hills, And tobacco has lost it's flavor-Raymond, Since We rolled dry leaves for pills. And girls are not what they were-Raymond When you and your pal roamed the lanes, For bachelors and death have been busy-Raymond, And cleaned out the old time Janes. My old fluttering heart feels sore-Raymond When I think of our school-mates of old, For their days on this earth are ended-Raymond And they've long since been stark and cold. I went to the lot on the hill-Raymond, And counted the names on each stone, There's only two that are missing-Raymond, And those are your's and my own. V Oh yes, we've outlived them all-Raymond, Although in years gone by-' They Winked at the life we led-Raymond And placed us the first to die. But though We fooled them all-Raymond It's time these old brigs had sunk, So let's gather in some kale-Raymond And go out-and get-dead-drunk. -By GEO.
