You have in every single case of perplexity helped us out, both in the case of the individual and in the case of the class. When we were down-hearted and about to give up it was your words that made us brace up and resume the struggle. At last we have the sheep-skin of vic- tory within our grasp, and as we stand on the thres- hold of a new life we realize what you have clone for us. You have drilled us in economy, you have aided and helped us invaluably in every party, your work was foremost in the success of the auction, the success of the senior play, and at last the suc- cess of this publication, our Zenith. For these many services and for your true character as a friend, we wish to express a most ardent appreciation and hope that these few lines will convey what you, Miss Taylor, have been to the Class of l9l5. 5 F.

Orgaraizaterxq The Girls' Self-l-lelp Organization, established in 191 l under the auspices of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, has become one of the flourishing institutions of the Central High School. ln four years the active membership has increased from twenty to seventy girls. Many girls who need to earn money or their board and room in order to finish their high school course have availed themselves of the opportunities offered by this organization. Because of our large and varied membership we have been able to supply about three-fourths of the calls for girls. The occupations have been varied--helping with housework, caring for children, serving at par- ties, art work, sewing, and clerking in stores. The total earnings of the girls in the club this year amount to about three hundred and eighty dollars fS380J, made up of sums varying from sixty cents to sixty dollars. These figures we feel prove that the organization is supplying a real need in bringing to- gether the housekeeper or the business man who needs help and the girl who wants work. 22 .Dul1m?h SJchoQlrr1a.sfttc'z's7 Cluio. The Duluth Schoolmasters' Club has held its usual meetings throughout the year and a greater spirit of fellowship and cooperation has been manifest. While many of the monthly dinners have been oc- casions of social intercourse, nevertheless the club has usually given consideration to phases of the educational fielcl. On several oc- casions prominent gentlemen have addressed the club and on other occasions club members have had charge of the programs. Several athletic evenings were enjoyed at the Washington gymnasium The committees have been active during the year ancl some constructive policies have been inaugurated. Several well known Duluthians have addressed the boys upon vocational themes. The Boys' Employment Committee has also been instrumental in assisting a number of boys. The annual meeting was held in May, at which time the officers for the ensuing year were elected and plans for a more active year were discussed. Officers for the present year: President-W. H. Schilling. Secretary-E. F. Geiger. Vice President-S. A. Foster. Treasurer-S. A. Foster. Executive Committee. Leonard Young. W. H. Benson. W. A. Nonnamalcer. Auxiliary Committees: Vocational Guidance.

He is always genial, positive- ly square, and a genuine good fellow, just the kind of a president for I9I5. 4' ESTHER HOAR Vice-President Esther's a worker who makes the things hum, When she's around one just can't be glum. She kept the Zenith Board from going quite dead, And everyone likes her, es- pecially Ted. 4' MARY MCGONAGLE Secretary: Asst. Editor She's a worker, a speaker, and has much knowledge stored Up in her brain for this old Zenith Board, For aforesaid board she work- ed all the time, And we.can't give her due in this poor little rhyme. -I' RALPH MCCARTHY Treasurer Bill Dugan, or Mac, is the name of this hecker, He watches the gold of the Senior Exchequer, He started at football, but had some hard luck: He has a li'l Ford. so he won't run amuck. 26 HAROLD COE Editor The talents of our editor- in-chief Are really beyond beliefg As an author and poet he holds our esteem. And he's a loyal member of I9'I5. -1- FLOYD LAWSON Business Manager Lawson's been leader of most business deals, He managed this book and took time out for meals: I can't do him justice in this little space. But Floyd is a hustler. just look at his face. 'I' MAY WIELDE Secretary of Board May moved to Woodland, and by the way, Gord Kalmbach spends ten cents a day. She likes to come to town and skate: Here's to a three-cent jitney rate. 'P MILDRED TURNER A bit of sunshine hits ye, A bit of laughter gits ye. As she cleverly outwits ye. 27 IVIURIEL SMITH Historian As a poet she's better than Vergil or Poe, The way she makes rhymes is not a bit slow. She's cheerful and pretty, what more can you ask, In the sweet light of culture she's longing to bask. 'I' BERTI-IA BLAIR Study and work that's in- tense, She's conscientious and sin- cere, C-ladness and joy that's im- mense. 'I5 hasn't a friend more dear. 'I' GORDON I-IEGARDT I-Iegardt's an athlete, built strong and stocky: You ought to see him break sticks, when at hockey. He doesn't make a noise, but he's there just the same: And with the new dances, he makes us look lame. 'I' VINA WALZ Vina is one of our greatest i0yS GD- You ought to have heard her toast the boys: She can roast them as well, it must be believed, If you've noticed her eyes when once she's been peeved. 28 TOWNSEND HOOPES Assistant Business Manager Cannon's a D man, a tool of John Bunnyg This Rust can make mar- riage or funeral seem funny. He managed our play, and the most of our dances, A real hustler, and girls?- they all say he en- trannies. -I- l..OIS WEBSTER Lois is pretty, ambitious, and witty, She lives very near the east end of the city: We all like her looks and her sweet disposition, In the eyes of the class she holds high position. 'I' PERCY KEOWN l-le's a practical joker, is Percy, And in getting his lessons, oh mercy! He can get a long lesson as quick as a wink, And recite it all perfect be- fore you can think. -I' GERALDINE. ANGLIM Has she not always treas- urea. Who has friends? ' 29 ELMER PETERSON Lab may come and Lab may gov But Elmer recites forever: He does it with ease as nice as you please. Without the least endeavor. 4' OLGA SATHER Olga is a winsome lass, She's friendly to us ally She .likes to whisper all the tlme. But Zounds! Miss Taylor's call. 'P CARLYLE BURGESS Carly Burgess once was fat, But now he's very thing Agriculture accounts for that, For he makes the old churn spin. 'P l..YDlA WIK A wee candle, but it shineth afar. 30 WILLIAM MCMURTRIE Such a friend as we like to have. Happy, good-naturecl, and never dull: ln English he really is quite a shark, If you don't believe it, just ask Mr. Null. 'I' AURA MERRITT Good temper is like a sun- ny day. It sheds brightness on every- thing. 'I' ELDEN FRANK Much wisdom often goes with fewest words. 4- RUTH PERSGARD Tho her ways are quiet, yet steady and sure Are the thots of this maiden demure. 3l ALBERT ARMSTRONG l-le's handsome and broad, over six feet long, We call him Al and Bones, also Armstrongg At speeches and peaches he's won some fame, Cyclone Yell Master is his other name. 'I' BEATRI CE MILLER Miss Beatrice Miller with her bright sunny smile, Will remain in our memory a goodly long while, For B isn't Beats unless she can find Something to smile about, and she isn't blind. 'I' GILBERT PATTERSON Now Pat here doth often exclaim, I clon't give a rip for one dame, But even at that we take off our hat To this fellow, of mechanical fame. 'I' AGNES GALLAGHER Quiet, reserved, and studious. She knows her own mind, And a truer friend than Agnes Nowhere can you find. 32 GORDON KALMBACH Cordy shines in Chemistry. There's more in him than you can see: He likes a nice, cold winter day. But nothing can compare with May. -I' ERNESTINE BENNETT She was so quiet and so happy withal: a well of good humor and con- tentment which over- Howecl at her eyes. -P MIKE DANEIKO Count four ears lost if ou y v y don't know The boy they call Mike Daneiko. ln school he plugs and al- ways passes, Though he cares not for many lasses. 'I' ETHEL GIBSON Ethel is a Gibson girl, What more need l relate?'-- just this: she's all that can be sought, ln this broad reach of fate. 33 RAYMOND STEVENS Though maidens and love Find no place in his heart, His hobby we all know Is manual art. -I' HELEN STRACI-IAN A lass so fair with smile so rare We seldom chance to meet: A manner nice, by this de- vice: Her charms, so gently sweet. 'P BEN WOOD When Armstrong said that no one could Be a stage manager like Ben Would, It sure was true, for on that April night They applauded his scenes with all their might. 'I' lDA BROMAN Doing nothing to repent, Always just the same: She came to school to study, And thus has won a name. 34 AMES BERQUIST There is something in a man who can hold a maximum popularity on a minimum of useless talk. '1- ALMA CHRISTOPHER She has a pleasant smile, A gentle way. 'I' EMIL ANDERSON lt's easy enough to be pleasant, When things flow along like a song, But the man worth while ls the man who can smile When everything goes dead wrong. -1- LOUISE LEWIS In future life she has no fears, For she took Latin thru four years. lf that much grit makes not success ln after life, we miss our guess. 35 ,, , HORACE CRAIG I-lere's to Horace whose nick- name is Spike: I-le's a fellow the people all like. I-le's six feet three from his shoes to his hat, And it's all true blue, I as- sure you of that. 4' ESTI-IER Voss In the past four years, we recollect That in German she is quite clever: That being happy has been her object, And will be, we think, for- ever. 'I' HENRY OLIN Hank is an expert at wire- less and such, In the mechanics department he's valued at much: He does much less talking than most people do, But he works like a drill press, and always gets thru. -1' ELIDA JENSEN In every rank, both great and small, 'Tis industry supports us all. 36 TED FLEURY Ted is a trackman of ten seconds time, At football and hockey, he's in the front line. Each Friday evening he waxes quite neivous, For he caused the West Third Street ten-minute service. 'I' EDNA FREIMUTH Edna is dignified, quiet, serene, Tranquil of temper and state- ly of mien. Edna believes in that motto of old, Speech may be silver, but silence is gold. 4' CARL JACKSON I like the man who faces what he must, With step triumphant and a heart of cheer. -I' CHARLOTTE DUNNING Charlotte Dunning's cute and cunning: Charlotte, I'm afraid you're sly. Yes, 'tis sure you look de- mure, But oh, the twinkle in your eye! 37 REUBEN NELSON You soon forget what ails you, When you happen 'round this many He can cure a case of blues Quicker than the doctor can. 4' AGNES MACDONALD A more quiet little maiden Would be surely hard to find. But how we all do envy Her brilliant Vergil mind. 'I' HAROLD BAKER The rule of my life is to make business a pleasure and pleasure my business. 'I' AILENE GREENE A dainty, quiet lass is Aileneg In German, they tell us, she's very keen. She's won many friends by her jolly smile, Although she's been with us a very short while. 38 WILLIAM JOHNSON Bill is a boy of much silence, Given to thoughts, not to violence. He sure is the salt of the earth, And figures can't measure his worth. 4' MAMIE NELSON Ever quiet, kind, and glaclg Not over serious. studious, or sad. 'I' MANDEL LEVY This young man you see before you, Always ready with jokes to bore you, Full of ginger and life and vim, Do you wonder we all like him? 'I' EDNA GORMAN I love tranquil solitude, And such society As is quiet, wise, and good. 39 GUY TAYLOR I-leskyf' the man who never looks sad: Try everything, but you can't make him mad. I-le's Mechanic and Aggie and real star at Math, We'll always remember both him and his laugh. 4' MARGARET FINDLAY Here's to Margaret Findlay! May we some day read her name Writ in golden letters On life's book of fame! 4' GEORGE ALLISON There was never a more quiet one than he, But he's happy, as anyone can see, For a glance alt his face dis- closes a smile Bright and shining, and as wide a mile. 'I' EMMA LIFSKE A heart to resolve, a head to contrive, and a hand to execute. 40 SIDNEY JENSEN Sy is always on the hop, And runs a great big butcher shop: He likes the girls, but cloesn't show it, And it's a crime to let you know it. 'I' MARCIA HEIMBACH This is Marcia. So much like Bercia, Miss Taylor can't tell them apart. 'Tis said, these two lasses Sometimes exchange classes, Which accounts for them being so smart. 'I' LYMAN BARROWS His name is Froggy, and a score Of best girls has he-maybe moreg And by the nickname l see there, At hops, I guess he is a bear. -I' BERCIA HEIMBACH When Bercia gets up and spiels history, We all sit back and admire: Maybe this sounds like a mystery, And maybe it is.-ask Glyer. l l 4 I ARTHUR BESCHENBOSSEL Art is an oarsman and ag- g1e shark, too. He sports a bright smile that is sure to get you: He never was known to be in a hustle, I'Ie's always the same, good old Art Beschenbossel. -I' LOUISE BRENNAN She has two eyes, so soft and brown,- Take care! She gives a side glance, looks clown,- Beware! 'I' RALPH B ROWN Though well versed in class- lcs, In languages bright, In dispensing his knowledge. I-Ie's not a bit tight. 'P JULIA LENNING There's joy of life within her eyes, And sweetly does she sing. 42 EDWIN JENTOFT When he was a Freshman he was chuck full of fun, When he was a Sophomore he was always on the run, He got to be a Junior and at his lessons started he. Now he is a Senior, wise and quiet as can be. -I' LOUISE SOUTHWICK At Latin this girl is a regular Caesar, She's so good 95 will scarce ever please her, Besides she's a worker and needs lots of praise, For she helped make the auction a success in all ways. 'I' CHARLES KRAEM ER Charlie likes pearls, but despises oysters: Hates farming, but is an en- thusiastic subscriber to the HG. Kimball's. ' 'There's a reason. ' ' 'I' MARIE KALLIO Now Marie here is a nice girl too. Of faithful friends she has not a few: lt makes us all quite sad and blue. To have to say goodbye to you. 43 ARTHUR LEVY Ah! Arthur, if only thou knewest how many of the Butts of your jokes were threatening dire ven- geance, thou wouldst not look so happy. 4- HELEN OSBORNE Now l-lelen's a girl we all know, And everyone loves her so, That we feel sick at heart, When with her we must part, And out of our lives she will go. 4' EDWARD BEVIS A new member of the class, but a. sincere and in- dustrious worker,-the kind you will hear from later. 'I' MARGARET WAHLGREN Margaret Wahlgren is Peg o' the Class, At whispering she can all surpass. Peggy can play all the latest ragtime. For on the piano she's simply sublime. 44 GEORGE JACKSON George is a fellow who's known by his deeds, In speed or in talking he never exceedsg He always is whistling some cute little tune, His smile is the kind that lasts all afternoon. 'I' LILLIAN BROWN Lillian Brown with thoseinice blue eyes Looks out upon you so world- ly and wise. But Lillian's O. K. from her head to her toes. And she's happy at all times, as every one knows. -1- JOHN I-IUBER The motto of chivalry is also the motto of wisdom. To serve all, but love only one. 4- LUCILE. ELDER Tho modest and gentle, she rules her own mindg Ambitious, but still not a bit of a grind. 45 IRVING GROVER Here's the best hustler the class has had yet, He ran our big auction, and runs the Gazette. As the new Chicken Stalk- er he was there with both feet, And the toast To the girls he sure did up neat. 'I' BEATRICE WANNEBO Now this young lady is named Wannebo, She always is happy and never is slow: She spends much of her time out at Pike Lake, On the auction committee she sure took the cake. 4' EVANGELI NE TROLANDER This girl, who Central's halls doth adorn, Lives in a town they call Alborn. Her shining, dark eyes are always gay, And she was Maid in the Senior Play. 'I- MARGARET E. SMITH Here is a lass who never shirksg For l9l5 she works. A nicer girl you will not see Than our bonnie Margaret E.. 46 CHAUNCEY PETERSON Peterson's hobby is lifting huge weights, As Hercules Junior he's looking for dates, ln classes, he always has something to say, And l'm sure all the faculty wish he could stay. -I' ELSIE HOLLEN This is Elsie, with locks so fair, And see her good color, it's always there, She is one good worker, and never a poke, And the thing she likes best is a practical joke. -I- WALTER DAHLSTEN There's a boy here in Central named Walter, Who in English always did falter: But he once made a guess, And the Prof. answered uyesx, Which near caused the death of poor Walter. 'l' FLORENCE LYNCH Her laugh so hearty, free, and clear, Has brought to Central loads o' cheer. 47 WALTER MAUSEAU Walter here has many friends: Though dignified, he oft un- bends, And oft on way to farm is seen, To spend a day with the butter machine. 4' HAZEL WENDT A merrier one, Within the limit of becoming mirth, I never spent an hour's talk withal. 'I' LEO MOERKE Good student and an orator, And quite a joker, too: Surely for such a person A brilliant future's due. 'l' GRETA FERGUSON Greta's as Scotch as the great Harry Lauder, There's only one diflprence, his accent is broader: She's happy - go - lucky, an all-'round good sport, We wish that the world had more of her sort. 48 FRED BATES Fred is a boy scientifically bent, He'll be an inventor, l'll bet you a cent. Each month on the A list his name cloth appear, For success in the future. he has nothing to fear. 'I' EUGENIE LERICHEUX Altho she's French, she's not in on this war, A more peaceful girl we have ne'er seen before. She can do Latin like Vergil of old, She's quite some Brownie, we've lately been told. -I' HYMAN SILK Hy has a head that's al- ways in demand, His ideas are often worth trying to land: I-le's active in clubs, and in classes he's wise, In the business world Hyman is certain to rise. 4' RUTH WEBB A bright day it was, when Ruth came to High, And the day is always bright if you look into her eye: She is kind, she is gay, a cheerful little elf, At her sight, gloom dissem- bles in spite of itself. 49 MARC TROYER Spider's an oarsman, and Aggie Club pres. He never says much, but he means what he says: He's honored by fellows, has girls not a few, In mechanical arts he will soon bcss a crew. 'I' MARION MURRAY Marion seems quiet, till you know her well, But of her good nature, her friends can tell. That she is attractive we all would say, And she has a happy, win- ning way. 'I' GEORGE RATHBUN l-le's a shark in Chemistry, and what do you think, He managed the Orpheum till it went on the blinkg I-le's always as busy as he can be, But he has always a welcome for you and for me. -I' PATIENCE QUIGLEY Earnest, thoughtful, and sin- cere, But always with a cheery smile: We' somehow feel when she is near, That all is really quite worth while. 50 GEORGE ALTMAN George is one who does not shirk From the hardest kinds of work, Who toils along with might and main: Surely such labor will not be in vain. 'I' MARY ALTMAN Her many virtues cannot be told, She has not one. but mani- fold. 'I' FRANCES SWANSON Golden hair and eyes of blue, Smiling face. and heart that's true: Ready, kindnesses to dog Frances Swanson, this is you. 4' ALICE HICKEN A rare compound of frolic and fun, Who relishes a joke and de- lights in a pun. 5l FRED HASE Fred doesn't say much, but's always surmising, For the Industrial club he does advertising. I-Ie'll lend to a fellow, don't care when he pays: If you want a good friend, just get next to Hase. 4' BERNICE KRIZ Here's to Bernice, A small, vivacious piece, Who proves the old maxim, That wonders never cease. 4' CHARLES ROMIEUX Chuck every day grows wlser and WISCF, He'll know very soon how to say I-loch der Kaiser. As a speaker in public he's won him some fame, Each month on the honor roll we hear Charlie's name. 'I' ESTHER APPEL She isn't what her name sug- gests, For she's a peach, that's why: But we can say in all good truth. She's the Appel of our eye. 52 LLOYD WEVERKA Quite different from some of us, is Lloyd, Ne'er 'ltries a recitation to avoid: Earnest, ambitious, and in- clined to be lean, Lloyd's one of the pillars of l9l5. 'I' LYLIAN SHAPI RO A great many friends has Lylian won, For she's always right there when it comes to fun. She's ready for hard work just the same, To be always happy must be her aim. -I' HAZEL MEHLIN For we will be jolly and drown melancholy, With a health to each jovial and true-hearted soul. 'I' MIRIAM BONDY I-lere's to Miriam and her winning ways, We cannot give her too much praise: She's always happy, never sad, To be her friends we all are glad. 53 WILBERT ANDERSON Wilbert is a lanky youth: l-le's bashful, but to tell the truth, There's something right down in his heart, And to hide it shows he's pretty smart. 'I' DOROTHY MILLER Devoted, ambitious, gener- ous. free from gulle, And with her whole heart's welcome in her smile.

The Zenith Board is a unit in purpose. The best efforts of its members are combined to produce the best book within their power, a book that is not only a record of the activities of the class and the school in general, but a representative of the real ability and accomplishments of the students. The I9I5 Zenith Board was chosen with a view to representing every group and section in our class by at least one good worker. These people have given their time, thought, and actual work in the form of writings and obtaining of writings, to the compiling and pub- lishing of a true representative of the quality of our class. Each mem- ber felt a responsibility in his part in the making up of this book, and each member did his part with the enthuslasm and spirit for which the class of I9l5 has become known. E.

After everything had been sold and the pro- ceeds counted, it was found that S318 had been realized for charity, an amount which far surpassed our wildest imaginings, considering the hard times and natural effects of the war in Europe. Early Thanksgiving morning, the auction committee, headed by lrving Grover and Dorothy Segog, left the Marine Supply Co. with wagons, trucks, and automobiles, loaded down with groceries and blankets for Duluth's poor families. Fifty-two such unfortunate homes were visited, and the manifestations of joy and gratefulness in every one of them amply repaid the committee for their faithful efforts to make the affair a success. As in former years, ten dollars was given to each of the four institutions: St. l..uke's l-lospital, St. lVlary's Hospital, St. James' Orphanage, and the Children's l-lome. These donations were not put into any general fund, but were used to help a particular un- fortunate inmate of each institution. The Senior class wishes to thank Mr. Goodman of the Duluth Universal Milling Company for his splendid gift of flour, without which the number of families which we visited would have been much smaller. The class is also much indebted to Mr. Goldberg of the Stewart Transfer Company, who assisted in the deliveries. Much credit is due Mr. Custance, who again performed his par- ticular function of auctioneer. Time and precedent have made Mr. Custance a characteristic and necessary part of Senior auctions, and we wish him long life if for no other reason than that the Senior auction may continue. No one deserves more praise for the auction's success than Miss Taylor, whose enthusiasm and willingness to shoulder the burdens of a class advisor have made a name for the class of 1915 as one that made a terrific go of everything it undertook to do. lrving Grover and Dorothy Segog, with their very able com- mittee, may well take great pride in the success of the auction, for theirs was the actual work of carrying out the auction plans, and theirs is the credit for doing it well. Finally, the student body must receive their share of the credit. Of course, without buyers we could have no auction, and the student body are the buyers. The bidding was spirited throughout the en- tire sale, and the orderly, loyal manner in which every one con- ducted himself was a credit to the auction, and to D. C. l-l.

While the child whom ye call dead, ln unspoken bliss, instead, Lives and loves you: lost, 'tis true: By such light as shines for you: But, in the light ye cannot see,- Of fulfilled felicity, ln enlarging paradise, Lives a life that never dies. ' --Edwin Arnold. Because of ill health, Rae left us in her Junior year, and tho she was never again able to take up her school work she retained the same sincere and unfailing interest in her class. She seemed always To be glad of life because it gave her the chance to love and to work and to look up at the stars. Her death removed from us one of our dearest classmates. She stood high in scholarship but she found time to do other Work. The Zenith was one of Rae's greatest interests. Each year as a member of the Board she was zealous and untiring in her endeavor to advance its interests, and we feel that the Zenith of I9 l 5 would not he complete unless this loving tribute be paid her. 87 A SGENIENET T0 f5EP0WER.9' Beneath the silent heavens of the night I stand and gaze in admiration free, While at my feet the nations with their might Are warring 'gainst each other, 'neath the Tree Of Fate, each trying to gain the branch of Pow'r, To grasp and wield it with a hand of hate, Not knowing Pow'r to be of that sweet bow'r Wherein man looks to God and not to Fate, To be his ever-present help in life. And then I know that all the sins of man Are not God's will, but just man's love of strife To gain-not heaven's riches which he can.

Heard Miss Taylor exclaim, They're on for some fame! And straightway were slain The hopes of the others. Lawson was given the executive chair. Then Smith and Wall Came next to where Rice was collecting the money for fair. On account of the weather No teams met together And football was left for the following year. The hop came next With dancing and cheer, To end with a flourish The Freshman year. i l9I2-1913 Freshmen then, sophomores became With prudence and wisdom worthy of name. The cabinet members appeared 'at the door And bright were their faces, As down in their places 249 They sat and took up where they'd left off before 'Twas all in the game To go on the same, With hops and successes, Few failures or guesses, For high their mighty scores were piled, Up and onward in games so wild, About them there was nothing mild. The Sophomores were victors. I9l3-1914 Another year past, all Juniors are they And as it is rightly my duty, I say, Well l remember the eventful day. President Zuger sat in his chair, Hoar was to rule when he Wasn't there, And close at his elbow Burnside, the scribe, Scattered the ink. Miss Taylor to think, With many a wink, Sketched out a scheme, For Bill with the purse The class to immerse ln money. Success began And on it ran, For not a man had failed to do his duty. Then came a time when War was broached, A time when football teams approached. Founded on rightness, Phrased in politeness, A challenge bold went forth: Defeat 'em or die--Juniors all Was their captain's mighty call, As in a mumbling Fumbling Rough and tumbling Sort of way, They beat the Seniors on that day. ln basketball they fell a bit. ln debating and hockey were hard hit, But when it came to entertaining, Hurrahl cried a few, For the gold and the blue. Others gasped merely, Phewl 'Some class! 90 1914-1915. With prideful look, I put in the book The great events and their big score Of the last of four years, Or perhaps more. So the cabinet met. Same as before. There were Zuger, lVlcGonagle, Taylor, and Hoar, Also Bill, who as Lord of the Treasury, Never diminished the wonderful pleasure he Took in the class's financial futurity, Taking their nickels and dimes as security. ln hockey, track, and basketball Others didn't show at all. The Seniors distressed 'em, When they caressed 'em, ln a banging, biffing, boisterous way. Quoth they in dismay, '15 is O. K. With gavel and table, And auctioneer able, An entrusted committee Helped poor in the city. The class party with dancing and eats , Funny stories and oratorical feats, Miss Taylor made charming, By efforts untiring. Then '16 gave '15 the glad-hand all right, At that Junior-Senior on Thursday night. Not ready to quit, They did a good bit, By wisdom and wit. When, graduation over, With dignity most sober, ln smiles they indulged, For from hip pockets bulged Scrolls that divulged Education, So this is the end, But they turn back at the steps and smile as they sigh, Dear old Central, Goodbye Goodbye.

On August 16th the hearts of scores of boys and girls of the High School as well as of other friends, turned in loving sympathy to the parents and families of Art and Jay. News of their tragic death by drowning came as a shock to everybody and everywhere there was deep sorrow. We can agree with Charles Lamb in saying that lf words came as ready as ideas and ideas as feelings we could say ten hundred kindly things. Altho the boys were not alike and in many respects quite different, many things said of one can be proved true of the other. Without doubt they were both of sterling character and through their genial and kindly dispositions en- deared themselves to all those who knew them. Their boy friends say-and this is rather an unusual tribute-that both boys were pure in heart as well as in speech in the true sense of the word. By their death the Senior and Junior classes lost two of their most splendid members. Art as a Senior and Jay as a Junior, the latter of whom was by the way one of the finest hockey players in school, would both without doubt have proved valuable not only to the football team of I9 l 4, as well as to other athletic organ- izations, but also to the literary and social activities of both the Junior and Senior classes. Having possessed the gift of making friends, which is one of God's best gifts, these two loved ones will always be remembered with deep respect and affection by all their classmates, schoolmates, and teachers. 93 YP.

I 4 Social. ln this short account of our social activities, l won't say how we trembling Freshmen made our first hop a success, or how we brazen Sophomores triumphed over all the other classes in dances during the year of l9l 3, but my time will be devoted to telling you in a few short sentences about the brilliance of the social life of the Class of I9 l 5 in her Junior and Senior years. Last year our mid-year party was unquestionably the best that was given. ln order to make the party more home-like, it was held in the High School halls. This permitted us to use the upper hall as a banquet room and the lower halls to dance in. It also gave us the opportunity to make use of the Library as a rest room, where games and phonographic music were the main features. The excellent attend- ance, the excellent quality of the toasts, and the excellent music com- bined to make ours the mark of supreme excellence in parties. Hardly had the scene of our mid-year been cleaned up when we were up to our necks in plans for our Junior-Senior. Our planning bore fruits, too, for when our guests the Seniors entered the Masonic Hall they were ushered into a veritable flower garden. So exquisite and so tasty were the decorations that one could hardly imagine him- self in a dance hall. The punch was delicious and lasted to the end, which latter is a very remarkable thing. Our music was up to date, our programs were novel, and when twelve o'clock rolled around everyone unanimously upheld our belief that l9l5 surely knew how to give a dance. This year our Senior party resembled the one of our junior year., the only difference being that it established even more firmly our reputation as a social leader. No one has ever gone to a l9l5 party and left without the feeling that he had enjoyed himself to the utmost. ln closing, l do not wish you readers to think l am eulogizing our class, but am merely stating the confirmed opinion that the Class of l9l5, while Miss Taylor is behind it, cannot be beat in a social affair. -I. R. ZUC-ER. 95 of flissay awarded first prize in the annual contest conducted by the Association of Collegiate Alumnae., The Twentieth Century expects so much of a woman in business, social, and public life that she needs a broader, more efficient train- ing in order to meet these demands. The college supplies these needs and gives her the ability to fill a responsible position in the world of today. ' When a girl goes to college she leaves the restraint and protec- tion of her home, where all her problems have been solved for her. As she must make her own decisions and bear her own burdens, she soon develops responsibility. The regular hours for work and recrea- tion teach her to use her energy wisely, to save time, and to cultivate good habits. ln the classroom and in the study she develops ac- curacy, persistence, ingenuity, concentration, and systematic thought and work. She is trained to work with others, to strive for the ulti- mate good, rather than to follow her own impulses. The association with large numbers of girls from all parts of the country tends to broaden her character, since she must recognize the rightsof others and must learn to judge people and -circumstances. Among these students are those who will be the leaders in the near future, and among the faculty are some of the best men and women of the modern times. Their influence gives a girl high ideals which last through life. She graduates from college with a well-rounded char- acter and a confidence in her own powers. The college graduate is financially independent if she wishes to earn her own living. She may prepare to enter one of the many pro- fessions which are now open to women, or she may enter the business world which is ready to receive her because she is able to give the impression that she is worth employing, that she can face difficulties and can make wise decisions. The regular hours and physical cul- ture in college have given her good health which helps her to endure the strain of business life and continually to increase her efficiency. The community is benefited by her influence. She is interested in public life and understands it. Through clubs, sometimes through the ballot, or through some public office, she helps to make better 96 laws and to improve living conditions. She benefits her own asso- ciates by making the most of her own life. lnstead of being dis- couraged by misfortune, she profits by the experience and encourages all who work with her. If the college woman marries, her education is not wasted, but it makes her better able to fulfill her duties. She is a more efficient housekeeper and intelligent spender, because she has been trained to make her brain save physical effort and has learned the value of money. She is a better homemaker, because she is broad-minded, has high ideals and works to make all the details into an effective whole. Because of her interest in public affairs and her knowledge of the business world, she is a congenial companion for her husband. She often furthers her knowledge of public life by club work, and thus does not become narrow-minded or lose her position and in- fluence in the world. She has studied hygiene and therefore knows how to preserve the health of the family. Her knowledge of human nature helps her to understand her children and to bring out the best in them. She can help them with their studies and thus gain their respect and admiration. She is a mother in the highest sense of the word. A college woman leaves the world better than she found it. She develops her powers to the utmost and makes her own life worth while because she is physically and mentally prepared for life. No one is hindered, since she can be absolutely independent, if she so wishes. Every one with whom she comes in contact is benefited by the influence of her strong character, capability, and far-seeing judg- ment. She establishes a happy home and trains useful citizens for her country so that they may carry on the work she has started. EDNA JENKS.

M quam 'fs HE Freshman Hop, the great social event of our first year at High School, was looked forward to with much anticipa- tion. However, when the eventful evening arrived, our class- mates became so timid that only about sixty of them attended. The dance was held in the main hall of the High School and was chaperoned by Miss White and Miss Wright. Although a com- plete financial failure, it was the beginning of a successful social career for the class of Nineteen Sixteen. ln Nineteen Fourteen the annual hop was supplanted by the closed party, which proved to be very successful. Fearing that there would be a small attendance because of the shyness shown at the Freshman Hop, Miss Taylor and Miss White decided that the girls should come unattended, with the hope that the bashfulness of the boys would disappear during the evening, and that they would prove valuable escorts home. The hope was fully realized. Students in large numbers came to the Washington Building, where a delicious banquet was served and many witty and interesting toasts given, after which all went to the gymnasium and did justice to the new as well as the old dances. A very enjoyable evening was spent. These class parties are very successful and well liked, because of the class spirit and loyalty fostered by them. This year, Nineteen Fifteen, the social program was carried 106 out in very much the same manner as last year. A spread was again enjoyed and there was great rivalry in the speech making, followed by greater rivalry in the execution of the new dance steps. Being upper classmen and profiting by the experience of last year's party, in every detail this dance was the greatest success so far. With such a reputation all are now assured that any social activity given by the class of Nineteen Sixteen is sure to be an enjoyable one. ln Nineteen Fourteen the Junior-Senior was carried off with less formality than in former years, this resulting in an increased at- tendance and success. With this thought in mind the Juniors showed their unexcelled hospitality by inviting the Seniors to the annual affair. The hospitality was no doubt brought out by the fact that the event is a fixed oneg but in spite of various basketball, hockey and swim- ming engagements of a more or less unfriendly nature the unexcelled hospitality was there. The dance was held in the usual place and the splendor of the occasion showed itself in the regular unsur- passed manner. The open dances were also well attended and their success was due greatly to the participation of the juniors. INEZ HAUGSRUD. ANCIENT, BUT GOOD. Oh l do wonder where Professor Custance' hair Has settled to the ground: Carried in the air, Scattered here and there, Oh where may it be found? 107 Thee of the lMfembe'r'. I had just completed my college medical course and had taken over my uncle's practice. I was then occupying his old apartments and using his former office which was in the same building. I-Ie had died suddenly of heart trouble while reading in his study late one night, and so of course had made no final statement as to the settle- ment of his estate. It was supposed, however, that he had been the possessor of a large sum of money, and having had a peculiar fear of banks and banking methods, had hidden it somewhere, but as no trace of the money had been found, it was decided that he had had no such sum, and that the supposition was but a neighborhood myth, coming from certain busybodies. I was sitting by the fire late one autumn evening, while the rain outside beat a dismal, hollow rapping on the window-pane, and the wind moaned and wailed around the house corner, like that lost soul you always read about in a ghost story. Same old ghost, I guess, the wind was wailing like on this night, for I distinctly remem- ber that on several occasions I had involuntarily shuddered, as its solemn voice had forced itself upon me and caused me to remem- ber with something of a fright a story that I had heard several times concerning my uncIe's house, the very one which I now occupied. My uncle had amputated the leg of a queer old fellow who had gained the reputation of being a little crazy, and after the amputa- tion had been successfully completed, the old fellow wanted the severed member. My uncle, however, who wished to keep the limb for study purposes as he was carrying on a series of a researches, had it put in a large jar of alcohol. The old fellow made several attempts to get the leg, but as he did not know where it was or what had become of it, he could not get it, and always afterwards expressed disgust at my uncIe's act. He said he wanted that leg, and by Jinks, he'd get ity he didn't know when, but he'd get it. Well, he didn't get it, for I still had it out in the old laboratory, which became mine at my uncIe's death. Finally the old fellow died, and while dying he vowed he would have the leg sometime. And now, so it was said about the town by a certain few, the old felIow's ghost used to come back and haunt the house, still looking for his leg. Oh, he had been seen at a win- dow or distinctly heard several times by those few who had chanced to be out late at night, always on a stormy evening when the wind wailed Ionesomely. As I said before, the night of which I speak was a wild and stormy one. The rain came in intermittent, battling gusts, for after a fierce onslaught it would lull for a moment, while the wind raised its voice in mournful sobs and heaped its reproaches on me, and 108 then down would come the rain again drowning out the melancholy wind in a wrathful fit of passion. The maples out in the yard, bare and desolate, flung their naked arms into the wind and striking them together, suggested to me the ominous clatter of a dead man's bones rattling together. l guess l must have been getting just a little frightened--not very much though, for the fire in the hearth was warm and cheerful, the monotonous dripping of the rain was soothing, and altogether there was something so cozy and cheerful at the thought of being in the warmth and soft flickering light from the hearth while out- side the storm raged and shrieked about the house, that l soon found myself growing drowsy under the magic influence. l was in that delightful state of being, half asleep and half awake, partly conscious of my soothing surroundings, yet knowing that l was nearly asleep, and had drowsed along thus for an indefinite length of time, when l was suddenly awakened by something or somebody-I knew not what, a noise, a touch, an influence, or something, something which l fully felt yet could not recognize. l was badly startled at first, yet as l saw no one about me, l concluded that l had been dreaming, so I turned myself in my chair, preparing for another nap, when from this new position l saw upon the clean White cloth of the table- a dark red splotch of blood. l was now thoroughly alarmed. l jumped to my feet. As l stood examining the spot, the table seemed whirling and fading into darkness. It was fresh blood, there was no doubt of it, and so awful it looked, contrasted darkly on the white cloth, that it seemed to bewilder me as by some strange hypnotic influence. Nlechanicallv. for l seemed to have lost control of myself, l looked at the ceiling. There was a large patch of the blood, great- ly magnified by my frightened gaze, in which another drop was just forming. l was horror struck. Good gracious, where was the blood coming from? My knees quivered beneath me, great drops of sweat stood upon my forehead. l swayed to and fro as if drunk and l was-drunk with fear. l trembled and shook in the grip of this awful fear as a withered leaf in a winter gale. An indistinct phantas- magoria played before my eyes in which the familiar objects of the room seemed distorted into grotesque and hideous shapes that whirled about and seemed centered around that awful patch of blood. The big splotches of red and black seemed a great misshapen conglomera- tion that leered at me, and dazed, and stupefied me. Yet even as l stood there in this state of bewilderment, there came to me from some hidden source, a strength that sobered me and wakened me as the sap awakes the tree and causes it to start anew with life, my courage came to me and l was able to think. That blood must have some source. Where or what could it be? l opened the door, 109 went out into the hall, and started upstairs. My heart beat wildly as l ascended step by step, for somehow l felt an inexplainable some- thing close about me and grip me. It seemed to permeate my whole being, a dread that stifled my breath and tightened about my heart. l was now at the top of the stairs, but as l threw open the door, l was struck by a wave of air so intensely cold that l stopped and gasped for breath. It was not a natural cold, but a wet, clammy something which clung to me and made my temples ache. My hands were blue and numb. T l was terrified at the thought of the being, natural or super- natural, which occupied the place, but on l went, determined now to find it out. Nothing in the front room, nor in the two sick rooms. Nothing in the two alcoves. The little back room remained, and in it l had yet to look. l 'hesitated a moment before the uoor, and then stepped in. I am sure now that my heart stopped for some time, for there in the darkest corner of the room was a gray mist, which would hardly have been distinguishable for shape, had it not been for a queer unearthly, yellowish-red light which just surrounded it. The form had but one leg, only a short stump remaining of the other but-horrors-that was all covered with blood and from it a continuous drip fell upon the floor, there to form a pool and seep through to the ceiling below. The wind moaned outside and the rain stormed the house, and yet l stood transfixed to the spot. As l now remember, this phantasm was about the height of an average person, although the shape was very indistinct, and seemed suspended in mid-air touching neither floor nor ceiling, and was faintly transparent. To be short, the thing was much like a thick fog with that faint yellowish glow throughout, 'and that stump of a leg, always bleeding, bleeding. It was, of course, the old fellow's ghost come back to its form- er habitation, still looking for its lost leg. l thought quickly. Prob- ably the best plan for me would be. to act as if not frightened at all, possibly as if angry-and so l spoke. Look here, l said, after looking him over slowly, what do you mean by coming here and dripping blood all through this house? l was down there reading and you nearly covered me with blood off that leg of yours. , The thing shivered once, twice, its leg stopped bleeding and it seemed to droop and wilt. What are you doing around here anyway? l asked again, in a rough and surly tone calculated to frighten him. lt's answer seem- ed a combination of the soughing wind and a soft rustle of garments. lookin' for my leg, came to me in mournful accents, al- 110 though l could detect no voicing of the words on its part. l've been lookin' for it seventeen years and haven't found it yet. It was true then, the tale of his visits to his old haunts in search of his leg. Seventeen years he had been looking for his leg, an awful long time l thought and l felt sorry for him and as l knew the leg in the laboratory to be the one in question, it was only right for me to let him know about it. Would you know your leg if you saw it again? l asked. Sure l would, he seemed to say, Hits got a wart on one of the toes and a half inch scar on the calf. l remember l did that with the axe one day when I was alive. HAnd say, he said and he gave me a poke with his misty elbow, but l didn't feel it, and say, l'll make it worth anybody's while, that will give me a help in finding that leg. He stepped back and there was a gleam of deep satisfaction in his last words. l was intensely interested, after his description of the leg, for l had often noticed the wart on the big toe, and won- dered at its singular position. It was, to be sure, the lost leg. l believe I know where that leg is, l said, l think it's out there in the laboratory in a jar. Come on down and l'll get it for you. As l spoke l turned, opened the door and started down- stairs, but noticing that he did not follow, l turned to look, and found that he had vanished. Nothing could l find of him, though l looked well, and soon tiring of my search l went to bed, but slept little. Next morning, as l arose and reviewed the preceding night's ad- ventures, l could not but feel that they were a dream and yet it hard- ly seemed so either. l ate my breakfast and then went out to the old laboratory, where l had been studying the day before. As l stepped briskly in, and was reminded of my recent experience, l naturally took a curious look at the old leg around which my adven- tures of the preceding night had principally centered, when l found to my astonishment that it-was gone. l looked again, believing that my eyes deceived me, but no-surely it was gone and l knew that it had been there the day before. The liquid too, was gone, and in the bottom was a small leathern packet. This was indeed strange. Had l dreamed after all? or could it have been some ghost- ly presence, in its nightly wanderings? At any rate l hurriedly took the packet from the jar and with trembling fingers opened it. It contained but a single sheet of paper, which crackled sharply in my hands, and much resembled the paper used in ancient manuscripts. However this had all the appearance of being new. lts contents l give you as follows: Third rafter behind chimney. 111 No signature at all, nothing but the bare noteg a single line and it very brief. l followed the directions given as best l could, for l thought that here might be a solution to my mysterious visitor's ap- pearance of the night before, and climbed up into the attic. Broken bits of discarded furniture and an old trunk were all that l then saw and these had a thick coat of dust on them which had not been dis- turbed for many years. However l proceeded to the third rafter behind the chimney as the note directed me, and there plain as day was an iron box all swathed in dust and cobwebs and tucked into the corner where the roof and rafter met. l lifted it out carefully and slowly for it was very heavy, and in the close seclusion of my room opened it. There lay all of my uncle's money, several deeds to some property, and several mortgages. It took me all morning to count the money fwhich was in gold, but l finally found it to be about forty-seven thousand dollars, while the deeds and mortgages represented about ten thousand dollars. About sixty thousand dollars in all and nearly all in available cash. So ends my story. It was a horrid experience, but l must say one for which l was amply repaid. IRVING AULD. ' A X X? 4-5 4 fox Q M 't': --f' i 112 TJUOR the past two years the athletic activity of the class of :tl I9l6 has been marked with unusual success. This year also has been one upon which we can look back with sincere pleas- ure and satisfaction. As yet we have been unable to claim the school championship in any line of athletics but we were always the next strongest competitor. The success of our class is clue to the remarkable celerity and ability of our athletes thoroughly re- ciprocated by the support of a crowd of our enthusiastic rooters. There certainly is no class spirit lacking in the class of l9l6. We have taken part in all lines of athletics and have always made a good showing. The interclass basketball series was one of interest and excite- ment from start to finish, and at the beginning it was impossible to say which team would be victorious. We were able to conquer the Freshmen and Sophomores after some fast and interesting basket- ball, but we must admit that the Sophomores gave us a hard battle. It was necessary to play three games with the Seniors, of which we won the first, before the final verdict could be given, pronouncing the Seniors victorious. Our team put up a great fight and we have nothing to complain about as we were able to contribute several men to the school team. Let us now turn our eyes toward the duck pond. We certainlv have some fellows in our class with ability in the water that would be of no discredit even to Father Neptune, but we must here and now pay a tribute to the Sophomores, who succeeded in getting a little the better of our men. The score, however, was a close one, and the contest was as interesting as it was close. We were cham- pions last year and it seems hardly natural that it should be otherwise this year, but judging from the final score, which was 40 to 37, we put up a good fight. We were able to overcome the Seniors by a score of 50 to 36, which proves that our team was a good one. Swimming is a comparatively new sport at the high school, but judg- ing from the interest taken in it by all the classes it promises to become one of the major sports and one for which we anticipate a glorious future. V 113 ri On account of weather conditions and the lack of a convenient place to hold a meet, the hockey schedule has, at the time of writing, been incompleted. Up to this date only three games have been played by the Juniors. We won the two games played with the Sophomores and Freshmen by the scores of 7 to 3 and 3 to l, respectively, but lost to the Seniors by the score of 5 to 3. At the end of the first half the score was 3 to l in favor of the Juniors, but the Seniors came back in the second half and were able to raise their side of the score to five. The schedule is not played out, however, and as we were champions last year we hope and expect to return vic- torious this year also. Track and baseball are still on the schedule and the Juniors are hopeful of victory, as we have had some strong teams in both these lines for the past two years. The class of I9I6 has from its birth been an ardent booster and supporter of all kinds of athletic games because we fully realize the value of Ha strong arm, a clear head, and a brave heart , which are so effectively developed by most kinds of clean athletic games. If atheltics and its essential merits have been slighted at the high school the cause cannot certainly be traced to any insincere or unsportsman- like endeavor on the part of the Juniors. We have always been a strong advocate of clean, healthful exercise and shall do our part to boost athletics from this time to the day we say, Farewell , BEN RASMUSSEN. - ,,g Q, , 'if' . l I 9?

N the latter part of the year of I9 IZ, a group of badly frightened little Freshies assembled in this great High School and became known as the class of l9l6. They were teased and tormented by the other classes in a manner that can only be used by those awful creatures known to the poor little Freshies as The Upper Classmenf' They racked their brains for an oppor- tunity to get even with these formidable creatures and finally hit upon a plan. A football game! lt seemed to be the very thing by which they could show them that the Freshmen had to be reckoned with. But, alas for their hopes! They were defeatedg but the girls of the class rallied their forces and put up a good fight, finally prov- ing themselves the champions of the school in basketball. Later on, this class gave its first hop, and so made its entrance into the social life of the school. The next year, this class came back to school finding itself one step higher and going by the name of Sophomores. They started in early to make the year a success, and chose their officers, showing a great deal of good sense in their selection. With little trouble this class defeated the Freshmen in football and threw the lower class far into the depths of despair. They were successful also in beating the Freshmen at basketballg and advanced beyond this to the exceedingly difficult task of winning the school champion- ship in debating, hockey and swimming. That year marked the be- ginning of the closed parties, where each class gave a party of its own and no other classmen were allowed to be present. Every Sophomore showed that he was proud of his class by appearing at the banquet and dance which were given, and they had never had a better time. ,5 ' ' ' '35g 'llIEllI 52 ' i lil'llll M9i nlIllill 117 QCQ-.lCQlCQDUIlCQ.' pun- ',.-iiiji, niunu' 'nu--l . .....--15 'Il'4wH'il'iui1 lllllm gmmkkw But this. their Junior year, has been the most successful of all the three. Early in the term they elected their officers, choosing Willard Thorp as president and Miss White as advisor, for the third consecutive year. All the officers worked hard during the year for the honor of the maroon and gold and to rnake their term of office the happiest and brightest of all the years. This class has taken part in all athletics and everything else which forms a part of high school life, showing the other classes that, whether for fun or hard work, the class of 1916 was always at hand. The closed party was even more of a success than that of the preceding year, being sur- passed by none except the Junior-Senior hop given in honor of the departing class, which added the finishing touch to a most success- ful year.

When the class of l9l7 had attained the honor of becoming Sophomores they taunted and teased the Freshmen until the latter were glad to appeal to their worthy sister-class, the Juniors. ln the early fall the usophsn held their first meeting, at which the officers which should serve their class for the year were elected: George Lawson, honorable president, Mary Mendenhall, vice presi- dentg Marion Gorton, secretaryg John Miller, treasurer. These of- ficers have proved a credit to the class in their ability and loyalty. Very little was heard of the class as a body, until early in the Winter, when the Sophomores won the debating championship of the school! Then the class realized that there were members in it, among them The Heavenly Twins , who would make their class famous during their remaining years at High School. ln athletics the class was also successful, but did not win for itself the honors it hopes to gain in the future. Basketball, football, hockey, and swimming--all had a prominent place in the activities of our class, whose enthusiastic members possessed a great deal of class spirit. ln the social side of High School life the Sophomores have held a place of prominence. They have had the satisfaction of giving a most successful class party, which was well attended. The gym- nasium was beautifully decorated in gold and black, the class colors, numerous streamers and pennants hanging from the balcony. Altogether the Sophomores feel that ,under the able manage- ment of their class adviser, Mr. Ging, they have made a record of which they may be proud. C. S. M. 122 A il3'l.igi11ii: Thzrpiqgh 'fha ..l la1rr11es. HEAR that forest fires are reported down the road, Jim, said Jack Wharton to his fireman, as he an climbed into the cab of his old standby, engine 496. Then, after looking at the water-gauge and also seeing how much steam he had, he' opened the throttle, and slowly the long train of thirty-six cars, with three empties ahead, began its ascent of the divide. As the snorting and puffing of the engine increased and the sparks came out of the stack more rapid- ly, Jack knew that they were on the steep grade and that he must save as much steam as possible or they would be late at Gold Creek, a small telegraph station on the top of the hill. As he hooked the reverse lever a little closer to the corner and the fireman opened the fire-box door, the red glare from the fire, as it cast its shadows about the cab, caught Jack's eye, again he thought of the forest fires. After a hard climb they reached Gold Creek on time, and while waiting for their orders Jack noticed a red glare afar in the sky and again he was led to think of the fires. But, as his orders did not mention them, he concluded that the fire could not be as serious nor as near Howell as he had at first supposed. Dismissing the idea, he began to think of things at home and told his fireman how his little daughter had said uDaddy that day for the first time, iand his eyes shone with pride. After pulling out of a little station not far from Howell, the place where the fires were supposed to be, he noticed that the air had grown hot and smoky, and when he reached the top of the last hill he saw a sight such as he had never seen before. A huge ring of flame sur- rounded the small town. The burning pines, with their crackling bright flames, the falling trees, the hot stifling air, the terrific heat and the dense smoke all combined to make the scene a lurid hell. Realizing that the only way by which the people could possibly escape death was by the train, Jack ordered the brakeman to cut off the three head cars and opened the throttle wide. As soon as the train gained a little speed he hooked the reverse lever near the center and the train of three cars began its head-long flight. The fireman worked like a demon, shoveling coal until his gloves were smoking hot. At last they reached the town, and the people crowded around the engine. The high pitched shrieks of the women and children, the men staring and dumb, awed by the terrible scene, it was horrible yet fantastic, the crash of the falling roofs, the burning homes, and the walls of flames on all sides encircling the little town. It was a fierce fire, a fire that shifted and wavered in its hues with every moment, now fiercely luminous, now of a dull and dying red, and again blazed terrifically forth with intolerable glare the glow of the 123 fire, with its heat, its roaring, and its fury, casting a sombre and wierd look over all. Soon all were in the box cars and the train with its precious human freight started on its mad run through the flames. As there were no forest restrictions in those days, the track was merely a narrow path through the woods, the tall trees no more than six feet from the ends of the ties. As the fury of the fire increased, the walls of flames crowded closer and closer to the track. Then with a loud roaring noise the tamaracks bordering the right of way blazed up. The heat was intense. Now and then little spurts of Hame rose up from the cars: although the doors were closed the flames soon ate through the sides of the cars and exposed the people to the terrific and almost intolerable heat, which heretofore no one except the enginemen had felt. The cab was the place where iron nerve and steel will were needed. The fire had burned the grease off the crank pins and they were almost red hotg the cab and pilot were both ablaze and the coal-tender was covered with burning debris. The Water glass had broken, and it was all that the fireman could do to keep enough water in the boiler and enough coal in the fire-box. Jack Wharton sat there grim and dominant, his eyes never wavering, though his eye-brows and hair, which his little girl liked to pull, were scorched and his arm scalded from the broken water glassg his mind was on his duty, the saving of the people. He tugged at the throttle, trying to open it wider, but long ago he had given the engine all it could do. He now observed that the ties were burning and that some trees had fallen across the track, but this did not make him think of slacken- ing his speed. Suddenly he realized that if he did not reach the lake which was his goal before the ties burned all would be lost. To perish in that dreadful heat would be the worst death imaginable, but Jack's suffering was so intense that he did not care whether he lived or died. His features were stern and composed, he remained erect and motionless at his post amid the crashing, roaring elements. Jack was thinking of the people whose lives he held in his hand, the people who had trusted him. Suddenly he noticed that the train was dragging, as the fire had burnt the air-hose and caused the brakes to setg he moved the reverse lever nearer the corner and again the train resumed its former speed. Soon the clearing and lake came into view. jack threw the lever into reverse, and after sliding some distance along the rails the cars stopped near the lake. Almost immediately the people rushed toward the lake, their last place of refuge. Not so Jack Wharton-he had made his last trip. No more would his baby girl call him Daddy g no more would she pull his hair or wait for him at the gate: neither would he mount again the faithful 496. He had done his duty, and had died with his hand on the throttle. 124 CHESTER A. MARSHALL.

EVELYN AHLEN if -4 -- h r - -f,,.T Ag fl 'Sir if A5 +25 l ' -ee 4 gf' Lili 1' l 125 6621 .99 IMPY BRUIN was not an ordinary bear-indeed not. Either his remarkable intelligence or his greatly varied experience put him in a class above other members of the Bruin family. Therefore it may be of interest to study the life of Limpy. Born in the Rockies, near the Winton settle- ment in Colorado, his earliest recollection of exist- ence was of the first time he, with his mother and brother, searched the woods for food. On this memorable day of l..irnpy's life hunters from a neighboring ranch were out for game. And so it happened that he heard two sharp rifle reports- which reports were the last that his fond mother and playful brother were ever to hear. Frightened and bewildered, he fell an easy victim to the lassos of the proud hunters from Rogers' ranch. But the life of a captive is not the natural one for a bear to lead. The treatment which he received, though kind, did not-could not- pacify the ever intense, always increasing desire for freedom. And so a certain bear broke his bounds after a few months' captivity and left the home where food was plenty. But alas, Limpy was not destined to go far before keen regret for having left found its way into his heart. Cub that he was, how could he be expected to take care of himself, fight for his rights, and find his food? Many times he almost made up his mind to return to his warm, cozy home, but the invincible argument that he had once deserted and had no more claim upon that home intuitively came to him and made him, as best it could, satisfied with his choice. And so the days grew into weeks and these likewise into months and Limpy tried to forget what he had left behind. Then one day, while romping harmlessly through the mountains, he was shot in the left forepaw by one of those ever-watching hunters. The bone was shattered and the pain was so intense as almost to drive the poor bear mad. Stumbling and groaning he hopped away as best he could. It took a long while before the injured paw was healed and during this time his thoughts ever went back to his old home. A bold idea took possession of him. Why could he not at least see the place again? Nature having accomplished its work of healing his paw as well as it ever was to be, Limpy started off to see his old home. He fairly raced until he was within a short distance of the place, then he walked, and, becoming still more cautious, he crept. Finally he got up to the window of the cabin and was peeping in at the family around the table when crash! went the glass- Limpy had in his ex- citement leaned against the panes of the window, and in they went. Instantly big Bill Rogers was on his feet, gun in hand, and in less time than it takes to tell it, he was out in the darkness to find out 126 who the intruder was, but Limpy had disappeared. Here it was that he got his name, for the uneven tracks, caused by his crippled paw, told a story to big Bill and the men that followed him. When next we see our bear he is not the cub of days gone by, for he has grown to be a huge, powerful grizzly, a real monarch of the mountains. And time has also brought about another change, for Limpy no longer runs alone. l-lard and lonely had been his battle for supremacy and how natural that he should be passionately attached to his newly found mate. What fun it was for him, ruler that he was, to roam the hills with her, or better still, to stand by her side on the shore of a foaming stream and strike, with unerring blow, at unsuspecting salmon that happened along. But more fun than any other was when Limpy and his mate could fool the eager hunters. When the bears could stand aside and let these men, with their guns, unknowingly pass within a few feet of them, then Limpy enjoyed life. But so confident became the big grizzly that he overdid his dangerous sport and one day openly faced the hunters who, though surprised, opened fire, and Limpy's mate was shot. This brought about a great change in the life of the monarch of the mountains. He had loved Rogers, but infinitely more had he loved his mate, and now that she was so cruelly taken from him, his affection for Rogers turned to hate, and from now on he hated all mankind. l-le understood it all now. lt was they who had killed his mother and his little brother. That in itself was unforgivableg but it was as nothing to the killing of his mate. There is no need of reviewing minutely the life of poor Limpy during the following years. No, we do not want to think of the bitterness and anguish that found its way into the heart of our weary, lonely, broken-hearted, yet fierce and revengeful, bear. It is suffi- cient to say that the settlement for miles around was in constant fear of a visit from the l..imping Devil , as he now had come to be called. And they might well fear, for Limpy was living for revenge, and as he had loved intensely, so also did he hate. His mind was made up that man should pay dearly for what had been done, and man did. You ask why he was not hunted down. Limpy was too cunning to be caught, and it was part of his revenge to get away so he could strike terror at other places and in other ways. Finally, after one of these visits that had such terrible conse- quences, every man for miles around was out after Limpy. One of the many groups at last discovered a trail that was evidently fresh, as it was plain in spite of a snow fall that had lasted for an hour or two. Following this into the mountains, the hunters sighted Limpy in a cave which apparently he used for shelter. Each man raised his rifle, and-but just then Limpy lay down, stretched himself, and went to sleep forever. He had fulfilled his resolution, and now, old and tired, he went to join his mate. 127 JOHN AHLEN. 5oPH5 W CHAMP if fo 41 f Y! V TH5 .

General Description of Central , Central as a whole is divided into four parts, of which the Seniors compose one, the juniors another, the Sophomores a third, and those who in their own language are called High School Stu- dents , in ours mere Freshiesn, the fourth. All these differ from one another in customs, learning, and ability. The river Class Rivalry separates the Seniors from the juniors and the Sophs from the Freshies. Of all these, the greenest and most troublesome are the Freshies, because they are far away from the civilization and refine- ment of our habitation, and the only merchants who have access to them are the juniors, who import those characteristics of their tribe by means of commodities which tend to effeminate the mind. 2. The Freshies Conspire Against the Sophomores. G. L. Caesar, upon setting out for Debating Championship in the beginning of the winter, was suddenly detained, having been in- formed by scouts that an uprising among the Freshies had broken out. The causes were as follows: Having despaired of their in- significant position, for all men hate a condition of subservience to their neighbors, moreover, since the Freshies are from a natural in- stability and fickleness of disposition eager to be troublesome, they had exchanged hostages and had formed an alliance called the Teeter-Totter Organization . Each member had pledged himself to collect all the jam and milk available ffor on this they subsist chieflyl. For keeping up their spirits they supplied mother-goose rhymes, which form their chief amusement, owing to their disposition. They were said to have about 500 foot soldiers, small of stature ftheir entire strength lay in infantryl, but well equipped, having long con- templated an uprising. 3. G. L. Caesar Promptly Moves Against Them-Their Defeat. G. l... Caesar, alarmed by these tidings, levied a new legion and sent his lieutenants, Pearsons, Goldberg and Cook, to conduct them into the territory of the Freshies. This having been accomplished, the Freshies, hastening with all their forces, met our men at a place slightly above the junction of the Office and the Corridor and proceeded to draw up a line of battle. They brandished small white objects, called in their language, rattles , and uttered queer ejacula- tions of scorn, by means of such worcls as da-da, goo-goo . Per- ceiving our perplexity and astonishment, they dashed forward in a solid mass, but upon coming to a distance of about ten feet, they suddenly stopped and scattered in confusion. The circumstance con- 129 nected with this is the following: namely that one of our men, hav- ing suddenly rushed forward and seized their standard--a small milk bottle with a peculiarly shaped piece of rubber at the end-and hav- ing dashed to the west side of the field of battle, the enemy, dread- ing such a calamity as the loss of their chief incentive, no longer paid attention to the battle, but hurried in no particular order to obtain the sacred standard. Our men, noting their confusion, had little trouble in overtaking the fleeing and reducing them almost to a con- dition of annihilation. 4. The Faculty?' Become Threatening-They Are Repuised. Meantime G. l... Caesar received news from the home state that the allies of the Sophomores, the Seniors, were being hard pressed by a ferocious tribe called the Facultyn. They had gained control of affairs and had demanded that a great quantity of themes be surrendered to them within a short time, otherwise they would bring great punishment to the Seniors, by means of infiicting a torture called Flunking . Caesar, immediately calling a council of his officers, was offered assistance by a centurion, I-lankins, who offered a ma- chine designed to overcome the difficulties. The nature of the ma- chine is as follows: A square, hollow arrangement of certain wood is constructed with a small slot in the upper corner. Then small discs or miniature records, designed by the centurion whom we men- tioned above, which produce jokes, spelling, grammar, unity, coherence, and emphasis, plots, exposition, and so forth, are dropped into the slot in such an order and in proportion to such a combina- tion of records, that they produce the theme on any desired subject. Thereupon, pressing a button, a typewritten copy of an original theme is issued. A number of these machines were quickly dispatched by G. L. Caesar and presently the fervor of the Faculty was subdued and their attack repulsed. 5. New 'Uprisings of the Freshies-A Thanksgiving Declared. just as G. l... Caesar was about to go into winter quarters, when he had every reason to believe that Central was reduced to a state of tranquillity-the Freshies having been subdued and the Faculty having been appeased-news was suddenly brought of a rebellion among the Freshies, who, having recovered from the effects of their recent defeat, were starting in two divisions, one towards Hockey and the other towards Swimming , Two legions under McCormack and Paine having been sent to follow up the Freshies, they soon met and inHicted upon them an overwhelming defeat at both places. And thus, these things having been accomplished, the superiority of the Sophomore state having been impressed upon the Freshies, as soon as news of the accomplishments reached th.e Office a Thanks- giving of two months was declared and the soldiers were relieved of their strenuous duties. 130 ,ff 1 , 'gat T l ' 4 X W' -fre: - i ' f 3?

However, we would have won four championships were it not for the peculiar temperament of the Sophies. The members of this class are exceedingly practical, therefore they could not put forth their best efforts to defeat the Freshmen in football as they did not deem this sport of any future use. Nevertheless, when they entered the field of scrimmage their blood was aroused. It was then too late. The husky Freshies, who had been training for three weeks for this particular game in all kinds of weather, often in the mud up to their necks, greatly outweighed the boys of 'l7 and consequently were victors by the small margin of I2 to 0. The following were our inimitable heroes: Fee, KF. BJ Lynch, CR. H., Butchart, CL. HJ Cavanaugh, KR. E., Shaw, Cl... EJ Ryan, QR. T., Cluett, fl... TJ l-loyt, QR. G., Moisan, fl... G., Rumsey, Mann. ln basketball our class showed the same spirit, although their old patriotism and spirit haunted them when the referee blew his whistle to start the game. We are not offering excuses, yet we are firmly convinced that if such an animal as hard luck exists he was our friend, as the scores below indicate: Sophomores, 14, Seniors, 25, Sophomores, 27, Juniors, 294 Sophomores, 22, Freshmen, 24. Mr. Ging's class was represented by Gronseth, Peter- son, Fee, Shaw, Moisan, Lawson fCapt,J. ln hockey, which the second year men believe a practical, inas- much as it is a healthy exercise, the Gold and Black boys ucame back and astonished the entire school with their brilliancy. The first game was donated to the Seniors through kind-heartedness, the result being Il to 2. ln so doing our bright and shining class set a pre- cedent which the first and third year teams obediently followed. The game with the juniors, which we lost 3 to l, was a battle royal throughout, and it was either team's game until the final whistle blew. 131 Captain McCormack's team, toyed with and defeated the Kindergar- teners to the humiliating tune of 8 to 0. The following members of the class did the noble deed. McCormack fCapt.J, Paine, QR. Gross, CL. WJ Lynch, Wachtel, CC. P., Blair, Grannis. A ln swimming our class was of the ultra-superdreadnaught style, overwhelming the fresh boys, 56 to 12, and the overgrown boys, 40 to 37, incidentally winning the championship and a large em- blem symbolic of it. Captain Paine, Maggard, Parsons, Peterson, and Walker constituted the team. Maggard, a Sophomore, won the iron cross for securing the most points. In the big indoor field meet the Sophies were second to none but the Juniors. Bob Paine, who is neither a senior, a junior, nor a freshman, made the only new record. Summing up the Sophomore accomplishments, it would seem as if the second year students should be justly proud of their class, especially in football, the most important athletic activity, as five of the best players in school fI..awsong O'Brieng Manny Warner, captain- elect, Lewisl, because they were D men, could not play on the class team. 5 MAX E.. COLDBERG, 'l7. W ANNOUNCEMENT! A new swimming class has been organized at the Y. M. C. .A. under the instruction of Oliver, Maggard, Central's swimming star. The classis composed mainly of Freshmen,,but any Junior ,or Senior who desires to join will be cordially wel- comed..

MYRNA EBERT '-'f-2 55' 139 l WQYXYKDPFQ 7 OP was a puppy, a mischievous puppy, not a bad one, but ' ' ' 1 s B d P I just an awkward, ungainy t. ernar pup. earson f 1 brought him home one night and his two boys were de- lighted. But the Pearsons had embarked on a hazardous enterprise, for as soon as Wop was old enough to take notice of things, trouble began. One evening Mr. and Mrs. Pearson went to the theater, leav- ing strict orders to place Wop for the night in the basement. Freddie and Billy were as mischievous as Wop and in spite of the fact that there was a severe punishment awaiting them, they let Wop come into the dining room where Dickey's cage hung. Dickey had flut- tered his tail in Wop's face, and ever since Wop had always regarded him with the greatest contempt. Just as Dickey lighted on a chair, the door bell rang and both boys rushed to the door to inform their friends that they must remain at home that night. With no hesita- tion whatever, Wop, who was anxiously awaiting his chance, wrung Dickey's neck. The industry of the scene the next morning was unusual, to say the least. Freddie and Billy both wore old aprons and were wash- ing a blood-splashed floor. They were too busy to give Dickey a very ceremonial burial, but the funeral he had well befitted the occasion. Before a week was over another calamity befell the Pearson household. The boys had brought a toy mouse with which to frighten Mrs. Pearson. It was left on the buffet. Wop has seen it run before and knew it was alive. No sooner had his eye rested upon it, than he immediately gave chase. l-le made one dash, but unfortunately the creature stood perfectly still, and instead of making the mouse run, Wop threw over a glass candlestick which had been in the family for fifty years, and which Mrs. Pearson had prized very much. V, After this, Wop was not allowed to go beyond the basement door, but every day when Mrs. Pearson heard his howling, she imagined he was repenting his misdeeds, and about a week after he was considered one of the family again. One evening Mr. Pearson Went down to the cellar to stoke the furnace. l-le was not a little angered and greatly surprised to find his new gray hat at the foot of the stairs clawed and chewed until it was completely spoiled. Guessing the culprit, he hastened up- stairs to find Wop. He found him, calmly dozing on the clean white shirt which he had laid out for the theater. He administered a much deserved beating and sent Wop out into the back yard to repent. 140 When he came home from business the next evening, Mr. Pear- son's wife met him at the door. He sighted trouble by. the fire in her eye. Nevertheless he greeted her pleasantly. Well, my dear? Ignoring his salutation, she plunged into the midst of her grievances. i'You've got to get rid of that pup, she began. Why, whatis the matter? Everything's the matter, she snapped. Every since you brought home that overgrown pup, with a pedigree as long as your arm fsarcasticallyj, this neighborhood has been a scene of excite- ment. l can stand for his killing the canary, for Dickey always made a horrible racket mornings, and then breaking that beautiful glass candlestick, but when he come to dissecting my new spring hat-that's too much. But what shall l do with him? asked Pearson crest-fallen and bewildered. Why give him away, of course, a dog with a pedigree- But Pearson had fled. Accordingly the next morning, Pearson started out to give Wop away. That wise pup must have scented something unusual in the wind. Why else did he foil Pearson's first attempt by deliberately wiping his muddy hide on Miss Babbitt's clean white dress just as the delighted spinster was accepting that pedigreed animal as a com- panion and co-worker in the noble task of keeping house for a fussy brother? Pearson, muttering unmentionable facts about pups in general and St. Bernard pups with pedigrees in particular, withdrew. How- ever he took fresh courage as the spare figure of Andy Robinson appeared in the distance with a market basket on his arm. Ujust the man l wanted to see, he said cordially as Robinson approached. 'lm going away for a little while and l hate to give away a thoroughbred dog like this one, gazing down in affected ad- miration at Wop, who sat licking his chops as he eyed longingly a package of meat which projected from Robinson's basket. But Pearson, queried Andy, is he rough or anything like that? You know my wife- ' Rough, well l guess not, said Pearson. Hjust look at him, Andy, and tell me honestly where did you ever meet?- This last was a signal for Wop. He made one dash between Andy's legs and seized the basket. Andy threw his feet forcibly into Pearson's stomach and sat down in the basket. With a yowl and a squirm Wop started for home, accompanied by Robinson's roast of beef but not by his hearty good-will. Pearson followed slowly, thoughtfully and painfully. Wop absolutely refused to be given away. ' 141 The next morning, a council of war was held in the Pearson household. Pearson, mindful of the previous day's adventures, held out strongly for poisoning or drowning, but his more tender-hearted spouse suggested that the boys try to sell him. So Billy and Freddie with Wop in tow, directed their steps to a bird and dog store, kept by an irascible Irishman. The boys were enchanted with the store. Monkeys chattered, Canaries fluttered gaily in brass cages, parrots proudly nreened their feathers in the sun, in fact it was a veritable fairy-land. K As the boys entered a harsh voice greeted them. What are you doing here, you little tramps? shrieked the parrot. Please mind your own business, retorted Billy. Sassy boy, sassy boy, shrieked the parrot again, but never- theless he followed Billy's advice. Mr. Flanagan advanced from a room in the back part of the store and looked at Billy and Freddie for a minute without speaking. He was a short man, with a button-like snub nose and pugnacious blue eyes. Freddie's heart sank when he saw Mr. Flanagan's red hair for Wop's was red too. He had had experience. Finally Billy found his tongue. What'll you gimme for this dog? he asked. P'what's the matter wid him? asked Mr. Flanagan sus- piciously. Nothing's the matter with him. He's got a pedigree, replied Billy proudly and a little indignantly. The dealer reached for Wop, who cleverly eluded his grasp. Squawkl Squawl-Ll shrieked the harsh voice, again. Funny thing-that, thought Wop, gazing up at the bird. Squawk! shrieked the parrot again, fluttering his tail insolently in the dog's face. This was too much. Wop leaped and made a snap for the tail feathers, and much to his surprise, got them. Down came Mr. Polly, cage, and all, knocking over in its course an aquarium of gold fish. Wop, closely followed by the boys, made for the door on the double-quick. You young chates, roared the proprietor of the store. I'll make yez pay for this, begorralu Following a circuitous course, the boys at last reached home and there found Wop in the back yard devouring a fine fat gold fish the spoils of his adventure in the store. There is nothing left, said Mrs. Pearson, but that you, Mr Pearson, drown him tomorrow when the boys are in Sunday school.' So the next morning Pearson and Wop started for the pond As Mrs. Pearson watched them go, a queer lump rose in her throat. 142 v She remembered how soft Wop had been when Pearson had proudly brought him home one night, how he had followed her around the house playing with her skirt as it swayed from side to side, how-. But the deed was done or would be done in a few minutes and there was no use crying over a dead dog. Pearson walked slowly and thoughtfully. Every time he gazed at Wop the poor animal looked up at him innocently. He searched his brain for a plan by which to rid himself of that hateful task. Nleanwhile he had reached the pond. He decided to lie down for a few minutes, and give Wop a little longer to enjoy life. It was a beautiful June day: the branches of a large tree were reflected in the pond, everywhere was a balmy stillness. It is not surprising therefore that in a short time both man and dog were asleep. By and by Pearson was awakened by the sound of loud bark- ing. He released his hold on the chain which he held. l-le was horror-struck and unable to move. There were his religious sons, Billy and Freddie, removing their clothes, and when Pearson saw them attired in their bathing suits he almost shrieked with horror. just then the boys advanced toward the water. Billyl Freddie! gasped their astonished father. With a frightened yell Billy darted for cover, but Freddie, al- most stiff with fear, toppled over into the water and disappeared. Wop ran as fast as he could and was with him in the twinkling of an eye. In a second, boy and dog arose to the surface and struck out for shore. Pearson pitied Wop after his noble deed, so instead of drown- ing him, he tied him to a tree, thinking that some kind passerby would befriend him. Mr. Pearson and the boys went home that noon together. Billy was cheerful, but Pearson and Freddie were rather down- hearted. There was peace at last in the Pearson household fbut only for two daysl. The next day, as they were eating their dinner, there was a loud scratch at the door. Mrs. Pearson went to the door to ascertain the cause of the disturbance. Meanwhile Pearson's hair stood straight up on his head. There was a sight to seel A mud-splashed, forlorn Wop stood at the door with a tin can tied to his tail, which read as follows: PLEASE KEEP YOUR HOUND AT HOME. That afternoon, when Pearson related the story fwith slight alterationsl, Mrs.'Pearson wiped a tear from her eye as she gazed lovingly down at Wop, who lay dozing on the new leather sofa and wondered what would have happened to Freddie that eventful morning, if that noble animal, Wop, hadn't been there.

W ', WI-IOMAS WARREN, an overworked, but very successful law- yer, closed a great book of law wearily, shoved it into its place on his shelf in his private office, and sank into his swivel chair by the window. He leaned his aching head in his hand and watched the continual processions of people in the busy streets below. All the year he had worked steadily, losing a few cases, but winning many. He had a large circle of friends and re- ceived many invitations into society, yet he longed to be far away from the noisy city. The beautiful summer had passed, and he had been so busy that he had not taken his much needed vacation. Now it was late in the fall, in fact it was deer-hunting season, and the weather unusually cold, but he decided to visit his father and sister for three or four weeks, and incidentally spend a little time deer- hunting. His father had been appointed Agent on the lndian Reserva- tion, and his sister taught school there. l-low dreary it must be for them alone in the wilderness, their home only a three-room log structure, barren of everything but the absolute necessitiesl After a careful consideration of the matter, he made up his mind to start within three days. It was a long journey and required at least that amount of time for preparation. As he turned from the window, the office boy entered and presented the card of an old friend of his. Mr. Martin. Will you see Mr. Martin? asked the boy. 'Certanly, bring him in, was the immediate reply. The two friends were glad to see each other again, but it was evident that the visitor had important business on his mind, and after a few minutes of visiting he made it known by saying, l've come to you for help, Torn, and I'll tell you what it is. l'm in sympathy with a poor fellow, an lndian, who got into trouble with a game war- den. The warden arrested him, and they probably had a fight up there in the woods, for in some way or other, the warden was hurt and accuses the lndian of trying to kill him. I heard once when l was out on the surveying crew, that the Warden had always had a grudge against the lndian, and was looking for a chance to make trouble for him. Do you know, Tom, l think that warden's a rascal, and l'm inclined to believe that the lndian's not so much to blame, but he can't hire alawyer of his own to defend his case, for lack of money. Now as a favor to me, I wish you would take this case and try to help him out. l would be glad to pay you for it. OhI fiddle sticks, Al, you'll do nothing of the sort. If I wanted to take the case, l would do it on my own responsibility, 152 and I would be willing enough to do it too, if I hadn't just planned to take a trip up in the north woods, more for a rest than anything else. I'm simply worn out, Al, and lately I don't take the interest that I should in any case. I have come pretty near to a state of nervous breakdown. Now wait a minute, let's see- Oh, when do you think the trial will be held? I heard it was about two weeks from today, replied Mr. Martin, somewhat downcast over his failure in persuading the law- yer. l'm sorry you don't feel like attempting it, but I know you need a rest, Tom, you certainly look tired. Well, resumed the lawyer, you say the trial comes in two weeks and I didn't intend to be back as soon as that. I planned this same visit last spring, and on account of my work, I have re- peatedly postponed it all summer long, until now. - But couldn't you put it off just a little longer? asked Mr. Martin. The trip is only a recreation for you, and this poor fel- low's liberty means so much to him. Yes, I know, but that's what everybody says, Al, and after all, you know that I and all the rest of the lawyers are expected to be nothing more than tools of the law, replied Mr. Warren, stand- ing his ground as firmly as he would in an argument for the guilt or innocence of a prisoner in the court room. When I take my vacation, some other lawyer can easily be found to fill my place. Oh, yes, in a way, but I wanted you to take this particular case, because I knew if you did you would be sure to win it, pur- sued Mr. Martin with equal determination. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Al, but I have not seen my folks in a year, and I can't postpone it any longer, because the weather is getting too cold, and I couldn't get in to where they are, through the snow. You see I really don't want to change my plans now. Say-by the way, will you go to the hotel with me tonight for dinner? said the lawyer, trying to dismiss the subject of their discussion. lt is a long time since you have been in town, and we might as well enjoy ourselves while you are here. Yes, thanks, Tom, I should be glad to go: l'll arrange to meet you about six-thirty down there, replied Mr. Martin as he drew on his gloves and rose to go. All right, I shall be there at that time, said the lawyer as he walked to the door with his friend. When Mr. Martin had gone, the lawyer thought over the mat- ter discussed during their visit, and made up his mind that he would not give up his trip for any case, no matter what it was. He would go out the next morning to buy his provisions for the journey. ' ' At the hotel that night, Mr. Martin renewed his efforts to per- suade his friend to take the case, to try to free the Indian from 153 the grasp of the law, and to foil the plans of the shrewd, scheming game warden: but the solid walls of Mr. Warren's determination were too firm to be shaken by artful argument, persuasion, or bribery. Three days later the lawyer was ready to leave, with his small, though adequate supply of camp necessities, and dressed in the heavy warm clothing of the woodsman. After reaching a cer- tain destination by train, the course of his journey would be through a vast wilderness of swamp and timber land, inhabited only by wild game, wandering Indians, and here and there an occasional homesteader. Crack! Splash! There. that was the third time he had missed his footing and fallen forward into the icy water of the swamp. A dead branch of the log on which he was balancing had broken under his heavy step, and thrown him quickly off his feet. The heavy packsack on his shoulders, and the rifle in his hand, had pre- vented him from regaining his balance, so there he sprawled in the tangled mass of broken underbrush and slimy logs. On the stagnant water of the rnuskeg swamp, a thin crust of ice was al- ready beginning to form, and the air was still and frosty. After considerable struggling and many awkward attempts to rise, realiz- in!! the inadequacy of the English language to express his true opinions, he managed to slip the strap of the packsack off his shoulder, thus freeing himself from the burden which held him help- less on the ground. He rose slowly, gathered up his belongings. and tried once more to cross the swamp on the long partly decayed pine log, to higher ground, where he might rest after his strenuous day's tramping. After some exploring he finally saw a place where he decided to camp for the night. l-lis knees ached as he trudged up the gradual rise of land. but it was almost dark. and he would have to locate his camp before it was too late. There was even danger of wolves at night. at this time of year. He chose the highest point, a flat, open space, and there. with much relief, flung down his heavy load. He stood gazing about, and became more firmly convinced each moment that he had strayed from the trail and was lost in a vast expanse of swamp land. He could not remember a place like this the last time he had made the same journey, and he began to worry more and more about his perilous position. As the night grew darker and steadilv colder. he felt stiff and numb from the cold, and chilled thoroughly by his damp clothes, and as he walked about briskly to warm himself, he noticed that great heavy clouds hung low over the pine wilderness and foretold a heavy fall of snow. Immediately he set to work gathering a substantial pile of logs and smaller fire wood. His small tent was soon pitched and a blazing fire built in front of it. Mr. Warren rolled himself in thick blankets, seated himself on a stump by the- fire and took his meager supper from the packsack. 1 154 Then softly and silently the snow began to fall, ever thicker and faster. A white covering it spread over the forest everywhere, except in the one spot where the dancing flams melted the flakes and left a large dark circle of bare earth around the fire. The night had become pitch black and the leaping flames cast strange shadows behind the trees on the white mounds of snow. The solitude of the winter wilderness was most oppressive to the lawyer, for he knew he had lost his way, and might be far from the trail. Even if he were near it, he would not be able to find it and much less to follow it. on account of the deepening drifts that completely and artfully obliterated it. - Each hour that passed, each wind that whirled through the tops of the tall pines lost in darkness, each glance at a diminishing sup- ply of wood, served to make his loneliness more intense. Then far away across the swamp lands, he could hear the occasional howl of wolves, and he dared not let his fire go out. Even closer they crept, and he could hear their cries, first on one side then on another. The long hours .of the night slowly dragged on, and he Won- dered how long he would be wandering in the wilderness: how long he would be lost in its solitude, and how long he would be able to endure its cold. He had already traveled about fourteen miles, in the two days since he had left the train, but there yet remained four or five miles and most of it was swamp land. This would be impossible to cross, now that it was covered with snow, unless it was frozen solid. But the worst of it was, he had lost the trail and had no idea which way to go. - As he was pondering over his unenviable situation he was suddenly startled by the sound of something approaching, and was instantly alert, rifle in hand, peering into the darkness. The sound was indistinct, but it was the sound of snow being pushed from side to side, and an occasional breaking of dried underbrush. Had the wolves grown so bold as to make an attack? involuntarily he reached for a blazing stick, but in astonishment, let it fall! For there, proceeding, laboriously through the drifts, was a small. dark figure of a little girl! ,Out in that storml- - Who was she? Where was she going? Mr. Warren ran down to where she was stumbling uncertainly through the snow, and helped her up theslope to the fire. She was clothed in ragged shawls of bright plaids, beaded moccasins on her feet, and red strings wound around her two black braids. Her skin was of copper color, and as the firelight showed on her face, her snapping black eyes gazed wonderingly at him. She was almost frozen from wading through the deep snow and from insufficient clothing. The lawyer heaped more wood on the fire, wrapped her in a warm blanket, and seated her on a stump by the fire. Her attitude was one of gratefulness, though she uttered not a 155 word. He had the desire to ask her many questions, but he did not know how to begin, for he did not think she would be able to un- derstand him. Finally he decided to make the attempt, and said, Where are you going? She did understand him, and replied in broken English, that she was going to Uwhite agent for food, and, later- white woman good. This puzzled the lawyer, but the re- mark suggested the idea that perhaps she was hungry, so he took some bread from his sack of provisions and gave it to her. She took it shyly, but ate every bit of it ravenously. On the coals of the fire he then set the coffee pot to re-heat, and presently poured out the steaming hot coffee into a tin cup. Whrrn a little condensed milk and loaf sugar had been added, he took the cup to her and said, Drink this, it will make you warm. She hesitated ai first, but as she was shivering with cold, the thought of warmth prompted her to drink it. It was evident she did not like it, judging by the odd expressions that crossed her dark little face. After some time, when she had become accustomed to her companion, she was willing to be more sociable. Presently she held out her hands to the warmth of the flames, and absent-mindedly looked searchingly all around her into the dark forest. By the use of much tact and simplicity in his questions, the lawyer discovered, little at a time, the cause of her 'strange journey. She pointed toward the direction from which she had come, and told him that she lived far across the muskeg swamp: that her mother was sickg and that she and her little brother had no food. Then she told him again that she was going to the agent for bread for her mother, and that the white lady was 'iheap good. So often did she glance into the darkness that Mr. Warren asked her why she did so. For some time she looked thoughtful, and then she told him that her father had gone away and left her mother all alone: that she could hear his foot steps near her, yet he never cameg that she could see his troubled face in the shadows. and yet he was never there. She declared the spirit had taken him away because he had been gone so long. The lawyer asked where her father had gone, and she replied that nobody knew, that he had gone out hunting one day to pro- cure meat for the family and that no one of her people had seen him since. She was a pitiful little creature, huddled down in the blankets to protect herself from the bitter cold of the winter night, and swaying back and forth as she bemoaned her great sorrow. A queer camp it was, indeed. All night the two members sat by the fire or walked around it. Mr. Warren's efforts in searching for wood were frequent enough to keep him fairly warm, but the 156 little lndian girl was too tired to exercise, so she depended only on the dancing flames. When interminable hours had passed and a faint light showed in the eastern sky, the lawyer told her that he wanted to go to the white agent too, but he didn't know the way. She pointed out the direction and they were soon in readiness to depart. It was exceedingly difficult to make any progress in the snow, but they soon found the trail, and she led his steps unerringly through the labyrinth of ghostly tree trunks. Certainly no one but an Indian could have done this, for ap- parently there was no sign at all to tell her where to direct her course. On and on they plowed through the vast expanse of silent whiteness, sometimes under a roof of snow-laden pine and spruce, sometimes through drifts so deep that Mr. Xvarren would pick up the little girl and carry her some distance. But she was the guide, and most of the time stepped lightly along ahead of him. I-le was deeply engrossed in meditation, and silently followed the tracks of the tiny moccasins. Once she stopped and looked around, uncertain just where to proceed, but soon decided which way to go. Once the lawyer shot a rabbit for their dinner, for the food supply was very low. But the journey was monotonous and wearying and they dared not stop long at a time, for the daylight would soon be gone. All the day they continued their travel, and were exceedingly thankful when they neared a clearing in the forest and viewed the great log house standing in the middle of it. The two Wanderers soon reached the door and knocked loudly for admittance. The lawver's father opened wide the door and was astonished to sec his son, for he had not received the letter that announced his coming. The lawyer received a hearty welcome, but no more hearty than that of the little guide who had brought him. His sister, Mary, in a white apron, her hands covered white with flour, stood by the kitchen table, busy with her Saturday baking. It was evident that she was glad to see her brother, for after he had greeted her, two white hands were printed in flour on the back of his coat. ln the course of time, the events of the journey were related and the lawyer asked his father many questions concerning the little girl's family. Later in the day, when the old man and his son were sitting by the kitchen stove, and the little black-eyed girl was enjoying a feast of ginger cookies, the elder Mr. Warren told the lawyer the story of the lnclian's disappearance. l'll tell you, Tom, it's like this, he began. One day l was down there on the trail, about two or three miles from here, when l heard voices across the swamp, and l just crouched down behind 157 a stump to listen. I knew. by the tone of voice they were using, that it wasn't any picnic I had found. It wasn't long before I heard Jim Barker, the game warden, say 'Give me your gun. You are Linder arrestf Well, I looked to see who he was talking to, and there was that big Indian, looking daggers and just trying to make up his mind whether or not to kill Jim. Of course the warden took that opportunity to accuse the Indian of resisting the law, and drawing his own revolver, took aim. Well, I knew Jim meant bus- iness, and I knew, too, that the Indian was not guilty, so when Jim was about to shoot, I fetched up my rifle and fired. I shot Jim in the hand. sending his shot wild. so luckily he didn't touch the Indian. ,lim was nearly scared to death, for he is nothing but a coward, Tom, when it comes to real fighting, so he made tracks for the railroad station as fast as possible. I-le accused the Indian of trying to kill him. and two officers came to get the Indian the next day, but the rest of the tribe never knew where he went. I wrote an official letter to the County Court, explaining the innocence of the Indian and my part in the game, and sent it off this morning by a messenger. The warden says the Indian was hunting game to sell, and if it's true he will be tried for it, but I am pretty sure he Wasn't, for his family are positively starving. Are all the Indians as bad off as that, Father? asked the lawyer. Oh, yes, replied the old man, uthe weather has been unusually cold this year, Tom, and Mary and I have helped them as much as we could. She bakes bread and buns for them, and gives them old clothes to wear. Well, l hope the Indian comes out of the scrape all right, the old man concluded thoughtfully. So do I, replied the lawyer enthusiastically. And I am go- ing to help him, too. That's so. perhaps you could do something for him, Tom, if you would try, suggested his father. I'll tell you father, I shall stay here until about the middle of the Week, then l will start back for town in time for the trial. It is to be held one week from today. That is a good idea, said the old man generously, 'iyou can come to visit us again in the spring. It is hard to let you go, Tom, but it is the best thing to do, after all. Five days later the lawyer turned from the great log house, and faced the solitude of the lonely trail again. I-le carried with him provisions for the little girl's sick mother and the children. But best of all, he was going back to the city to fight for the freedom of the child's father. He thought musingly of the fact that all of Albert lVIartin's artful persuasion had not affected his plans, but the deep sympathy he felt for his little black-eyed companion of the snowstorm had wrought a decided change in his policy. She had 158 been taken back to her mother, and the night when Mr. Warren reached the lndian settlement, she ran joyously out to greet him. Taking him by the hand, she led him into the dark, smoky interior of a wigwam, and pointed to a thin Indian woman, wrapped in blankets, lying on the ground. A medicine man sat in the dark, moaning and groaning, and making the most hideous noises imagin- able. It was a repulsive place to him but he began to realize the desperate conditions of these people. He did not blame the child's father for resisting what the cowardly warden called obeying the law. All that these poor people had to live on was the game they shot, for they had to sell some of that to buy flour and other necessities. Mr. Warren set the sack of food in the Wigwam, and went outside with the child. After sometime, he departed from his little friend and started out on the beaten trail once more, through the wild timber land. ln another day he reached the railroad, and soon afterward, his home in the city. as ik ar aa as The clay after the trial was held, 'the lawyer's office phone rang vigorously. Putting the receiver to his ear, he called l'lello!' ls this Mr. Thomas Warren? Yes. Well, Tom, l was surprised to see your name in the big head lines in the paper last night- Ohl ls that you, Al? Why, are you still in town? Well, remember you haven't been gone as long as you expected. What happened up there in the woods? Why did you come back and take the case? And how did you win it? ul-lold on, one question at a time, please. Well, l was just determined to win it, and when l make up my mind to do a thing, l usually do it. Oh. so l have noticed before. Well come up tonight, Al, and l'll tell you all about it. All right, Tom, good-bye. JEANETTE. ABELL. 159 If you can get a pull with Margaret Taylor, Your schooling will be one long term of joy.

BI-WEEKLY NOTES. Published by Duluth Central High School Agricultural Club. ZENITH EDITION ZENITH EDITION T0 REPRESENT AGRICULTURAL CLUB. Realizing the demand for a school paper, the Agricultural club, hl early this year, decided to enlarge the field covered by their mont y bulletin. The Gazette was adopted as a name, and the publication made every two weeks. Although the particular function of the . . . x 1 Gazette is the advertisement of the Agricultural club and the genera promotion of things agricultural, news of interest to students in every department of high school activity has been embraced. The Gazette would have been practically impossible had it not been for the invaluable aid of the high school printing department. Mr. Ranlcin's boys were entrusted entirely with the mechanical work, which was always so well done that no one would ever suspect that it was not professional. After the second issue, a subscription price of two cents a copy was charged, which a little better than covered the expense connected with the printing and circulation. As the Agricultural club has no other space in this book, this inserted number of the Gazette will be devoted entirely to agriculture, and the interests of the Agricultural club. Most of the articles in this issue are clippings from preceding current numbers. We thought this was the best way to tell correctly the doings of the Agricult .lral club, and the progress which this new line of study has-made in the high school. 1 i .

Over 530.00 has been added to the funds of the agricultural club from the sale of fifty bushels of potatoes raised at the club's potato patch at Woodland. All the work of planting, cultivating and digging the potatoes was done by the aggies, and scores of blistered hands testify to the earnestness of their labor. Delivery was made in the school board auto truck, but owing to the comparatively small yield this season. due to late planting and bad weather, not all orders received could be filled.

From the Commercial News, which made its initial appearance last Friday, we take the following just as we found it: We must recognize the superiority of the Afarmersf They have spent all their time on the farm 'raising' muscle and training for the big game with the Commercials. We Commercials being men of brains rather than brawn, and not having sufBcient time for prac- tice were obliged to decline their challenge much to our regret, but possible to save their mortifiicationf' You will notice that commercials is spelled with a large C, while farmers, must suffer the indignity of beginning with a small letter. We farmers do not know whether this distinction is an esti- mation of a commercials regard for a farmer, or whether it indicates a commercials knowledge of journalism. However it is not our intention to criticise The News, but to correct an impression it desires to circulate. We farmers have not spent all of our time on the farm raising muscles, and to assure the commercials of this highly important fact, we are willing and eager to match both our wits and our knowledge with those men of brains. Therefore a challenge from the farmers is open to the commercials for a spelling match to be held at any time and place designated by the latter. If the men of brains do not look with favor upon this proposition, a challenge with the same conditions is open for a debate. Just to convince the commercials that the latter proposal is to be a regular debate, we farmers suggest the question, Resolved, That Pushing the Pen ls Better Exercise Than l-loeing Potatoes, the farmers taking the affirmative. Don't you think these are fair propositions? A. FARMER. 164 THE GAZETTE. PRACTICAL WORK COUNTS 20 PER CENT IN AGRICULTURE. Gazette, Jan. I5. Practical work in the greenhouse and creamery is the stimulus for interest in the Central high school agricultural activity these days. Every Maggie is required to do ten hours of practical work each month as a part of his monthly routine. This ten hours' work counts 20 per cent on the student's monthly agriculture mark, so that one who accomplishes only five hours a month cannot possibly get a mark of over 90 per cent. ONE DAY SHORT COURSES AT STATE FARM. Gazette, Nov. l3. An original and valuable feature of the work in the agricul- tural department this year is the series of one-day short courses at Northeast Minnesota Demonstration Farm, being conducted under the supervision of M. Thompson, superintendent of the state farm. Actual farm work is done by the students, a systematic program of such practice running from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. or an equivalent num- ber of hours. Transportation to and from the farm has been fur- nished by the Duluth Commercial Club and Mr. Thompson. Our readers may be interested in the following outline of the Saturday short courses to date: SEPT. 26-LAND CLEARING DAY. Cutting and proper piling of brushg felling, trimming and top- ping of trees: sawing of logs. Removal of stumps by dynamite and by stump pullerg using dynamite of different strengths. Observing comparative efficiency of various land clearing methods. 166 THE GAZETTE. OCT. 3-FARM DEVELOPING DAY. Use of dynamite in disposal of stone, underblasting, muclcap- ping and drilling methods. New land implements: Bush and bog plow, spring tooth har- row, breaking plow, harrow. Seeders: Wheelbarrow seeder, broadcast seeder, disc drill, corn planter. Harnessing horses, hitching and driving them before various farm implements. OCT. 24-FARM PRACTICE DAY. Grading and cleaning seed grain. The gasoline engine. Grinding feed. Fence building. The Babcock test for butterfat. , A model poultry plant. Review of demonstration farm activities. TO LEARN BUTTER-MAKING. Gazette, Oct. 30. Practical dairying is to be taken up extensively by Central high school agricultural students. The creamery outfit, which includes a receiving vat, scale, cream separator, Babcock tester, cream cooler, ice box, churn, butterwworker, butter printer, and minor utensils, has arrived, and actual work in the creamery will commence immediately. The work to be undertaken is such as to be recommended to a progressive farmer who has from five to ten cows. ln the operation. a small group of agricultural students will buy the milk, which will be weighed and tested, run through the cream separator, and cooled at once. The cream and skimmed milk will then be tested, after which the skimmed milk will be sold and the cream stored in the ice box. Milk will be bought and the cream stored in the same way the next day. When the two days' cream will have been uripenedu over night, it will be churned, and the butter Worked and packed in one- pound prints. The boys who have bought the milk and done the work may then sell the butter and keep the proceeds. There will be at least two churnings a week and as many more as are required to give prac- tice to those specializing in dairying or general farming. SCANT QUARTERS.

Duluth Central has now, perhaps, the most substantial high school greenhouse in Minnesota. The foundation walls are of con- crete and the frame work of semi-iron construction, thus making the structure a permanent one. The house proper is Zl feet wide, of even-span type, and 50 feet long. It is divided into two equal compartments-a hothouse for the growing of tomatoes, cucumbers, and beans, and a cool house for lettuce, cauliflower, and radishes. Floriculture will for the present be given secondary attention only. The purposes of the house are rather Cl, to give the agri- cultural students experience in growing vegetables out of season un- der glass, C21 to give practice in vegetable growing that can be ap- plied afterward in the garden, C31 to start plants early in the spring for later transplanting into cold frame and then to gardens, and 14, to supply proper conditions for agricultural and biological experi- ments with plants. A work room, I8 feet long, joins the greenhouse to the boiler room of the main high school building, from which steam heat is sup- plied through a system of piping that should guard against all emer- gencies of cold winters. The work room provides a place for potting plants and setting up experiments and it holds also the home creamery outfit of the agricultural department. 167 THE GAZETTE PHILOSOPHY. Archie grew to manhood on his farm among the hills. He never had to worry over gas or grocery bills. His life was bright and happy for he never knew a care, until he one day went to town to see the county fair. The sights seemed great and grand to Archie's simple farmer mind: he thought how splendid it would be to leave the rural grind. Arch hurried home and packed his trunk with all the clothes he had, and left the farm with fifty beans he borrowed from his clad. He sought the mighty city with its glare of brilliant lights, and spent his fifty shiners taking in the pretty sights. One morning after parting with his Ingersoll and fob, he faced the proposition of starvation or a job. He started in a swell cafe, washing silver spoonsg and then he tried a grocery store-his luck at selling prunes. The city lost its glamor and the air seemed not so pure: the street lights dimmed and faded and the movies dropped their lure. He longed to hear the cowbells in the pasture near the wood, and live among the farmers, strong and simple, kind and goodg to know again the fragrance of the meadow and the corn, to see the sun-kissed tops of waving grain at early morng to be where hope and strength spring forth from every sprig and clod, where simple truths of nature teach to men the might of God.

This is the eighth year of the activities of the High School Ger- man Society, which was founded by Fraulein Von Scholten. A very interesting year has just closed. There were the usual programs, acquainting the students with German life, songs and literature. The fourth year German students draznatizecl the Apple Scene of Wilhelm Tell. lrzstead of having a Christmas banquet, an entertainment of a different kind was given. The music room was decorated with Christmas colors. A large, beautiful Christmas tree and Santa Claus with his pack afforded great pleasure. The German Christmas songs were sung and Christmas poems were recited. The Schiller Bund presented the school this year with a picture of the great German poet, Goetheg the year before last a picture of the Cologne Cathedral was given the school. With the help of Fraulein Ziegler the Schiller Bund has been a great success. The members of the society wish to thank her for her assistance in making the society what it is.

M LA H.,,AMZ?33'f5 President ---- Harry Haines Vice-President - - - Jacob Caron Secretary-Treasurer - - Donald Alexander Advertising Manager - - lrving Grover Those who study classic and popular drama and interest them- selves in the lives and activities of famous actresses will know why we chose the name Lamb's for our dramatic club. We are in- debted to Mr. Custance for the suggestion of this name, which alone has given us enviable prestige, not only in our school, but in the dramatic circles of the city as well. Our purpose is two-fold: First, to study the drama and dramatic history: secondly, to attain proficiency in dramatic expression. The valuable help of our advisor, Mr. Rasey, has aided us greatly in both of our aims. We are much indebted to the popular Baldwin Stock Com- pany for the interest they have shown in our work. Several mem- bers of the company have given interesting and instructive talks before us, among them Mr. Joseph DeStephani, Mr. Homer Barton, Mr. Louis Hall, and Miss Dorothy Shoemaker, all playing leading roles. Mr. Baldwin and Manager, Morrissey of the Lyceum very kindly agreed to grant us, as a benefit night, the evening performance of February IS. The l..amb's Club played a short sketch before the regular performance, the yell leader did his duty, and in every way the entertainment was a wonderful success. Our share of the pro- ceeds was divided equally between l..amb's Club and the Zenith. The Zenith goes to press too early to record the practical re- sults of our work, but our purpose this year is moreithe organization and placing of the club upon a solid foundation, than the production of plays. Next year, those who follow us andithose of us who still remain will be able to start immediately on dramatic sketches and other productions. 171 'O 'CI 'S 'H 'sims ,SAOH HD. C.. M., QI ,Ull3. As has been the custom in former yearsfthe High School Bible Class was organized again this year. Meetings were held on Tuesday nights throughout the winter months in the club rooms of the Boys' Y. M. C. A. Dinner was served at a quarter-past six, after which the lessons were taken up under the instruction of five experts in boys' work. A variety of subjects were offered, so that the boys would be sure to get a course of study in which they would be interested. There were one hundred enrolled in the class and there was an average at- tendance of about sixty-five. The object of this club is to heighten the standard of honesty in every department of high school activity-studies, athletics, and general school life, and to promote the triangle of clean sports, clean speech, and clean habits, by means of an efficient study of the Bible. The boys entertained the girls of the Junior-Senior Girls' Club at a banquet held in the Boys' Department. Several members of the faculty, as well as officers of both clubs, gave short talks. The boys in turn were entertained royally at the Y. M. C. A. at a Valen- tine party. The officers of the club were: President, Edward Scriveng Secretary, Gordon Hegardt. Leaders of classes: Mr. B. C. Wade, Mr. Harvard Rockwell, Mr. Hillman, Mr. Batchelor, Mr. McLeod. The success of this year's Bible Class was due to the untiring efforts of Mr. McLeod and Mr. Batchelor. They were instrumental in getting so large a membership and in keeping up the interest after the club was started. Too much credit cannot be given them for their work for the High School Boys' Club. 173 JUNIOR-SENIOR GIRL'S CLUB OFFICERS .fl lINfIQRw3'5Zli',,N3QR Qillkil. ,A.. QR.

Now it has a membership of nearly one hundred of the Junior and Senior girls. The meetings of the club are held every Thursday afternoon at the Y. W. C. A., and after the general meeting the girls separate into three groups: the swimming and gymnasium class, the jewelry class, and the dramatic club. The dramatic club gave three very successful plays last fall and are planning to give two more this spring. With the money from the plays they hope to send two or three of the girls to a summer conference at Lake Geneva next summer. Last year Mil- dred Turner renresented the club at Lake Geneva, and they expect to have several more girls there this coming summer. Last july sixteen of the girls went to a summer camp at Camp Miller for a week. The camp was such a success and the girls had such a splendid time that they are planning to have the camp again this summer. The girls have had parties and good times of all descriptions, such as a Halloween Party, a banquet for their mothers, and a Valen- tine party for the boys of the High School Club of the Y. M. C. A. The club owes a great deal to Miss Thatcher, their leader, for her deep interest and enthusiasm in planning their good times and helping them to make the work a success. The aim of the club has been to promote a feeling of good fellowship and genuine friendliness among the girls of the High School and they are sure that the Juniors and Seniors of next year will carry it on with just as much interest and enthusiasm. ' 175 Among other things for which the class of l9l5 will be remem- bered is the founding of the Mechanics' Club, the name subsequently being changed to Industrial Club. True to the energetic spirit of the class of I9I5, the Senior Manual Training students got together and formed this club, the members of which comprise only Junior and Senior students. The purpose of establishing this organization was to gain, by observation on excursions through the city's large industrial plants, a broader and more practical view of the life and work of the in- dustrial world. The members of the club very wisely chose Mr. Gregory and Mr. Lawson for their advisers, as the respect which they command and the interest which they take in the club especially fit them for the positions. Several trips were made, and a number of interesting lectures were part of the club's activities that were enjoyed, although the club was not formed until the second semester. The other officers who have given their valuable time and energy to the club's welfare are: President, Townsend Hoopesg Vice-President, Clarence Thomasg Secretary, Ralph Osmang Treasurer, Charles Gustafson.

At the first meeting, the following officers were elected for the first school term: Sarah Weinberg, presidentg Theresa Miller, vice president, Martha Wallace, treasurer, Marian Dunning, secretary. It was decided to limit the membership to Sophomore girls only, and the club has now twenty interested workers. The plan of work was outlined by Miss Castle, with the assistance of Miss l-lann. Their kind and willing help has been the means of producing many interesting programs, two of which have been de- voted to nature, the general subject of one being Harvest Time , and that of the other, Birds . Two others have been devoted to the works of two well-known authors, Mark Twain and Charles Dickens. At Christmas time we departed from our usual nature of pro- grams, and gave a very interesting program on Christmas Soon after that, the vital question of Woman Suffrage was settled. The following officers were elected to hold office for the second semester: Fredericka Tuteor, president, Dorothy Bates, vice presi- dent, Theresa Miller, secretary, Gladys Anderson, treasurer. The prospects for future work are very promising, as we in- tend to introduce some dramatic work into the club, the girls have already taken a great interest in the subject. MARIAN DUNNINC.

The purpose of the club is to arouse a feeling of interest in French literature and to study the lives of French authors. The meetings are held the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. The programs consist of original compositions in French, music, essays on different phazes of French history, and papers on the lives and works of various French authors. The members of the club wish to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Romieux, whose untiring efforts and support have made this club a success. FOREST HARDY. 177 'llillmfe Aiglhexriaoaam. HOUGH strong and well organized a year ago, the Athenaeum is a different organization at the present time from what it was then. With an increased membership fand all of its members boostersl, it has become one of the most popular clubs in the school. Throughout the year, interesting as well as instructive programs have been given every alternate Tuesday. These programs have consisted of readings, compositions, speeches, and debates, all of which were highly interesting. The fact that all three members of the team that won the debating championship of the school were Athenaeum members, speaks well for the club. Mr. Null and lVlr. Rasey were among the outsiders who addressed the club. Miss Effie White also offered suggestions for a joint Delphian and Athenaeum entertainment. Plans for this affair are being laid at the time of writing. Among the social functions of the Athenaeum was a sleigh- ride which was given to the Delphian members on the night of the nineteenth of February. Election of officers was held on the sixth of February. John Ahlen, Gordon lVlcl..ean, Monick Altman, and Gustave Moisan suc- ceeded Galen Pearsons, Emanuel Cook, Max Goldberg, and Carl Gebauer, in the respective positions of president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. Because of the fact that the Athenaeum is being run on a bus- iness basis, it is earning the respect and good wishes of all. The members of the society are glad to have this opportunity to express their appreciation to Miss Castle for the indispensable service she has given the club. JOHN AHLEN. 178 Three years ago, the Stump Debating Society was organized by Kenneth G. Olsen, instructor of public speaking. Mr. Olsen left us the next year, but the solid foundation on which the society rested insured its permanence. Since that time it has grown splendidly, not in numbers, for a large membership is not the purpose, but in the quality of the work of its members, and its influence on school affairs. The Stump has made debating successful in the Central high school, both financially and from the viewpoint of general interest. It is a strong booster for athletics, music, and other school activities, this broadness of spirit being largely responsible for its success in giving debating its foremost position in student affairs. For the two school years prior to l9l4-l5, the Stump had charge of the financial side of school debating. It had nothing to start with, but financed five expensive inter-high school debates, pur- chased ten D's for awards in public speaking at a cost of five dollars each, and, at the organization of the Debating Association, pre- sented it with almost ninety dollars. The Stump thus has a reputa- tion for business as well as public speaking. The members pay no dues, and at no debate is student admission more than ten cents. Since the organization of the Athenaeum, the Stump has en- deavored at all times to co-operate with it in the general advance- ment of public speaking. A schedule of debates between repre- sentative teams of both societies was arranged and duly carried out. The spirit in these debates was not one of rivalry, but one of good- will and interest in a common aim. The Stump has an active membership of about 25, represent- ing all the four classes. The success of this year's work is due to the very valuable advice and assistance received from Mr. Null, our debating coach, and director of public speaking. Stump officers for the past year were: President, lrving Grover: Vice-President, Galen Pearsonsg Sec- retary-Treasurer, Julien Hagberg: Secretary of Programs, Willard Thorp. 179 oxrngirrzcii. ln the second semester the Freshmen determined to organize a Debating Society to further the interests of debating in our High School. About twenty active members organized and several meet- ings have been held. At all meetings good, instructive programs have been given. A challenge was sent to the Girls' Debating Club and preparations for a debate are under way at present. Both teams are confident of winning and the decision will be close. Much of our success is due to the efforts of Miss Hann, the faculty adviser, who has taken a great interest in the society. Whether the Forum is a success depends entirely on the spirit and interest of the class of 1918. - Girls? afmucll 4Cllifllo.. The class of l9lS announces the formation of a healthy young society this year, called the Girls' Literary and Debating Club. ln these days of woman suffrage the Freshman girls have decided that it is time to let everyone know that this is a girls' as well as a boys' school, and if they continue in the way they have begun, everyone will soon be aware of the fact. The purpose of this society, outside of the one mentioned above, is to let everyone know that girls, as well as boys, can debate. The boys of the Forum seem to doubt this, for they have challenged the girls, but their doubt will soon be dispensed with, by the score the girls are confident of obtaining. The officers of the society are: Agnes Ewell, president, Alice Hillis, vice-presidentg Anne McEwen, secretaryg Myrna Ebert, treas- urerg Miss Hann is an honorary member. ' Several programs have been given in Room 4, for the members of the club, and if the girls ever felt, despite their joining the society, that, girls could not debate, they have since changed their opinion. 180 3 'Girls' filers Club.

Grace Lutz The organization of a Girls' Glee Club was made early in the year, and many signified their desire for the work. One of the first things done was the selection of a definite number to secure the proper balance of voices. Then the actual work of developing a successful club was started. The club has assisted at several Y. W. C. A. entertainments, at the teachers' convention, and at other meetings of various kinds. The object of the club is to work for a high standard in music, an ideal standard which shall at the same time be a stimulation to growth in thought, and an inspiration to a spirit of appreciation of real music. With the growth of the club in numbers and in power, this same standard will be extended outside, and every appearance of the club will be with the thought and hope that the expression of their ideals may reach the listeners and extend the same inspiration and pleasure to all who hear them. Boys? Glen Club. The Glee Club was organized in September, l9l4, under the supervision of Mrs. Dixon, and twenty-four members were enrolled. The officers elected were the following: President, Harold Coeg Vice-President, Albert Armstrong, Sec- retary, Charles LeRicheuxg Treasurer, Lorimer Linder. Decisions rendered were, that a small amount was to be col- 181 D.C.H.S. BOYS GLEE CLUB. lected as dues with which to defray expenses, and that the club was to meet each Monday after school. Under the able leadership of Mrs. Dixon, the club soon had several choice selections at their command and made their first ap- pearances before the Teachers' Convention, and later before the student body in chapel, being at both occasions well received. A second appearance later on was highly successful. ln the beginning of the second semester a re-election of officers was held and the following officers were elected: President, Lorimer Linderg Vice-President, Harold Hein: Secre- tary, Julian l-lagbergg Treasurer, Roy Stromgren. We sang recently at the lrving Junior High School and after- ward were treated at Victor l-luot's by Mrs. Dixon. The future looks bright, as we have many Udatesn. The appearance between the acts in the senior play was a proud day for the songsters. The members of the club take this opportunity to express their thanks to Mrs. Dixon, whose able and untiring efforts against ob- stacles has made the Glee Club one of the most successful organ- izations in the high school. With Mrs. Dixon at the wheel the club is bound to succeed. 182 LORIMER LINDER. HKGH SQHMZUOEL, A most practical way to stimulate interest in instrumental music is to organize and maintain a school orchestra. For this purpose, also for the social side and for the pleasure of the school, an attempt was made at the close of the first semester to organize a Central High Orchestra. The lack of many of the instruments needed, and of players for some instruments which were to be had, has retarded our progress in a very marked degree. Limited time for rehearsals and lack of spirit among some of the advanced players has also handicapped our work. The co-operation of all who play instruments of whatever kind is urged, both for the sake of the school's social side and for the prac- tical value to each and every individual player. The support of musicians in the school and the ownership of school instruments will assure the school a permanent, growing or- ganization, which will be a credit to our school for its own and out- side entertainments. A library of orchestral music has been started, and it is with great hopes that we take up the work for the remainder of this year as a good preparation at least for the continuance and growth of this part of the music work for next year, in order to stimulate and cheer us in assemblies, class entertainments, and wherever music is heard. Whatever success has fallen to the musical organizations of the school this year is due entirely to the hard work put into their inter- ests by Mrs. Dixon, who, working against the difficulty of installing a new system of musical training, without interest and co-operation in the school, certainly deserves praise for what she has been able to accomplish. 183 E5 The Commercial Club of the Duluth Central l-ligh School is an organization composed of members of the class of I9 l 5. The object of the club is to arouse an interest in the commercial work and cultivate a spirit of friendship among the students. The first meeting was held in September, and the club decided to retain the constitution of the previous class, instead of forming a new one. The following are the officers of the club for the year l9l4-l5: President, Forest Hardy, Vice-President, Valborg Rudd: Secre- tary, Sylvia Schiesserg Treasurer, Everett Gatesg Adviser, Mr. F. B. Carey. Later in the year the club decided to amend the constitution and extend membership in the club to the Juniors, thus enlarging the club and giving it a wider scope in the commercial department of the school. Several social affairs were held during the year, the most im- portant of which was the Christmas party. This was held in the bookkeeping room. Games were played and refreshments were served. The social was greatly enjoyed by all who attended it. The club has a large and enthusiastic membership, and under these conditions, it has become one of the important factors in the high school.

Hf3eba2tirmg iiliearn The most successful year in the history of Cental High debating has just come to a close. Although surpassing our opponents in de- livery and manner of presentation, we lost our first debate to North High School of Minneapolis, because of lack of statistical information. The decision was two-to-one in favor of our Visitors, who supported the affirmative of the proposition: Resolved, That the Federal Gov- ernment Should Own and Operate the Telephone and Telegraph. The lesson learned in our first debate was not lost. When, two weeks later, we met the John A. Johnson High School of St. Paul on the same side of the same question, we came away with a well earned decision, two-to-one in our favor. After much deliberation a debate was arranged with Grand Rapids High School. Our opponents came confidently expecting to return victorious, as the year before they were in the finals for the state championship. They presented a splendid argument, but our boys had the better of it from start to finish. The question was: Resolved, That State Judges Be Made Subject to Popular Recall. Our team, upholding the negative side, was victorious, two-to-one. Three weeks later our final debate was held at the R. E. Denfeld High School, West Duluth. Central supported the negative of the question: Resolved, That the United States Defensive Armament ls lnadequate and Should Be Increased. Both teams were trained to the minute, but there was never any question as to the superiority of our boys. The decision of the judges was unanimous in our favor. We feel that we have the best high school team in Minnesota, and prospects for next year are still brighter. The only member lost by graduation is Irving Grover, a veteran of three years' service. Jacob Caron and lrving Grover were our regulars this year, with George Macfarlane, Emanuel Cook, and Max Goldberg as alternates. Caron and Grover were used in all the debates, Macfarlane in the first, Cook in the second and third, and Goldberg in the last. Much credit for the success of our team belongs to A. E. Null, our able coach. We expect Mr. Null to return next year, and with a nucleus of four D men, a great year is expected. 187 Sliflflwlllfblllffk. 3?HE9ilfEf,lI , A, .

LETTER, sir! Jack Storms nervously took the sealed envelope from the ii extended plate and seated himself beside the glowing grate fire, which somehow failed to dispell the gloom pervading the apartment. For a few minutes he stared vacantly into the fire, and then, suddenly mindful of. the letter, he tore open the envelope, exposing a few typewritten lines on the stationery of his attorney. It read: , Dear Sin- l regret that all further efforts to stay off your cred- itors have been fruitless. Unless you can obtain funds for settlement before tomorrow noon your business must go to a receiver. Yours truly, SAMUEL BROWN. The letter caused him no surpriseg he had been expecting it. It only served to aggravate the bitterness of his feelings. It brought back to him more forcibly, the events of the past three years, which were now ending in his ruin. Three years before, his father, William Storms. had died, leaving to him the entire ownership and management of the Storms Lense Company. The young man had proved to be a miserable failure in the business world. He knew positively nothing of salesmanship or accounts, but spent his time experimenting with chemicals. He was possessed with the idea that natural color photography was possible with the use of chemically prepared lenses, and his busi- ness had suffered while he experimented with his idea. Long before this he had confidently expected to solve the problem, but now he seemed as far from success as in the beginning. , His fingers gripped the arms of his chair until the blood left them, and every muscle of his body grew rigid under the strain of nervous tension. For a half hour he sat motionless, conscious of no sound except the violent drum-like beating of his heart. The clock in the court house tower tolled the hour of nine, but he did not hear it. The tension became unbearable. Rising from his chair, Storms paced the room for several minutes. He had never given way to his pas- sions before, but now, seating himself again beside the fire with his elbows on his knees and his face in his hands, he choked out a long bitter sob from the very depths of his soul. lf only l could discover the formula, he moaned, I could have them extend my time and l'd still pull through, but- His teeth closed with a snap. Taking two strides that brought him to a table in the middle of the room, he grasped a small revolver 189 which lay in the open drawer. Methodically, he walked back, and seating himself before the fire, deliberately examined the priming of the Distol. and slowly brought it to his head. He wondered why he did not pull the trigger. His finger seemed momentarily paralyzed, while his eyes rested on an ancient painting above the mantlepiece. Unconsciously, he lowered the pistol, the while scrutinizing the portrait, wondering why it should attract his attention, and wondering why the pistol did not explode and end it all. Again he came to a sudden realization and raised the pistol, but his finger would not obey, he could not shoot himself. For the second time he lowered the weapon, put his head back, and stared full into the portrait. It was the picture of a study Puritan pioneer, a little brass plate on the bottom of the frame bearing the name Jeremiah Storms. It was the character that attracted one's attentiong not the picture. The deep set. steel-blue eyes beneath black, heavy brows bespoke the courage born of faith and teaching: a square, slightly protruding chin. combined with a stern, manlv frankness of facial expression marked a man who had the confidence and audacity to look the world in the face and say, l ask nothing from anybody. For hours the young man continued to stare, fascinated by the power of that strong Puritan character. Gradually, however, the features faded from the frame, and several other objects appeared in their stead. A thin ribbon of smoke curled skyward from a square stone chimney that extended from the ground up one side of a tiny log cabin. At one side of the picture, there was a small barn, and a huge pile of hickory logs occupied the area opposite. A few mov- ing forms behind the wood pile defined themselves into a group of naked, brown human beings. One of them lifted a rifle to his shoulder, and a puff of smoke followed by a sharp report told of the beginning of an Indian attack. An answering puff of smoke and report came from a chink in the wall of the cabin. Then another shot from behind the wood pile was answered by one from the barn on the right. The reports grew quicker, and the atmosphere became hazy with the smoke of battle. Suddenly firing from the barn ceased, and a lad of perhaps fourteen darted from the door in the side toward the cabin. l-le was half way to the open door of the cabin when a stalwart bronze figure ran from behind the wood pile, and seizing the boy, began dragging him toward the forest. Evidently for fear of killing the boy, no at- tempt was made by those in the cabin to shoot his abductor, but before the forest was gained, a man had dashed out the door, across the clearing. and grasped the Indian behind the arms. The boy freed himself and gained the cabin, and the red man's dusky comrades ceased firing to watch with sportsmanlike interest the struggle be- tween their companion and his adversary, Jeremiah Storms. 190 For several minutes they wrestled to and fro, neither seeming to gain an advantage. Both fought silently, the only sound being their quick, short gasps for breath. Now and then the hard, tense muscles of that naked shining body cracked sharply with the strain of superhuman effort. The lndian fought desperately, stimulated by the bitter hate of one race for another. Jeremiah Storms fought with the courage and strength of something infinitely stronger than hate. A dexterous movement by the lndian, in an instant of ad- vantage, revealed a long, powerful brown arm, high in the air over the white man's head. It was not the arm that prompted Storm's actiong it was the short gleaming knife blade which told him that the struggle was to the death. Nimbly side-stepping, he caught the de- scending arm in his own ponderous hand, and putting his knee be- hind the Indian, began bending the brown body backward. Slowly the feathered head bent toward the ground, the black eyes rolled in their sockets, but no sound of pain came from the cruel, sneering lips. Backward, backward, Storms bent the body, backward, back- ward, now more slowly-a dull crack was heard, or rather felt, and the brown corpse lay limp across Storms' knee. The dusky spectators beat a hasty retreat. Was it a god they had been fighting? Never had they witnessed such a deed, and their childish minds were filled with superstitious fear. For a while the picture remained blank. Then the sound of distant rumbling was heard, and clouds of smoke flooded the back- ground. The scene came closer and revealed a circular breastwork, behind which a line of grim faced men in blue coats were firing. A slow moving mass of gray forms were steadily gaining the breast- work. Evidently the situation was a desperate one for the de- fenders. The commanding officer scratched a line on a scrap of paper and gave it to his orderly, who carefully placed it in the rim of his cap. The picture followed the orderly. Mounting a power- ful black horse, he galloped through the wall of gray, escaping death by some miraculous means. On and on he sped, gaining the dis- tant wood in an incredibly short time. Now he went more cautiously, picking his way in an endeavor to avoid the Rebel pickets. It seemed as though he would escape until, rounding a sharp knoll, he came face to face with a southern sergeant of cavalry. It was too late for flight, too late for pistols even. With drawn sabers they rushed at each other. Each caught the other's blow on his own weapon. Thus for several minutes they fought, when suddenly the union soldier, seeing his advantage, caught his adversary's saber at the hilt and threw it high in the air. Wheeling, he dashed off, just as a party of gray horsemen broke through the trees. The picture shifted to the union lines. A group of officers were examining a large map on a camp table. The black horse galloped 191 up, and Sergeant William Storms fell from the saddle into the arms of an officer, wounded, but contented. Jack Storms awoke with a start. Good boy, dad, great run, he was saying, 'ithat was splendid. He rubbed his eyes with his left hand, and then noticed the little pistol on the floor which had dropped from his hand during his sleep. A broad smile crossed his features. You're a dangerous little piece of hardware, he mused fondly, picking up the pistol and putting it back into the drawer, and l was going to Hinch! John Storms, you're not worthy of your name! At twelve o'clock l shall be a bankrupt, then l can devote my time to my invention. After all I don't know but what it- His glance was arrested by a green shadow on a mirror which hung on a wall opposite a sun Hooded window. Out of sheer curiosity, he went over and examined the shadow, searching the room in the direction of the window in an endeavor to discover its cause. Besides his experiments in color photography, he had made quite a hobby of preserving the bodies of marine animals in their natural state. ln a green glass bowl he had mixed proportions of certain chemicals for this purpose, and unthinkingly had placed it upon a stand between the window and the mirror. Struck by a sudden thought, he moved the bowl out of line of the sun's rays, and again looked toward the mirror. The green spot was still there-IT WAS NOT A SHADOW! joyously nervous, Storms flew up the stairs to the laboratory, poured the preparation into another vessel, this time a brown one, and held it in the sun- light so that the intercepted beams fell upon a piece of plate glass behind. Removing the bowl. he examined the glass, and true to his exultant expectancy, a faint brown spot remained where the brown shadow had fallen. Now to find out what it's made of, he cried enthusiastically. l-lc always kept a record of his preparations, and soon he was copy- ing the wonderful formula from a pocket note book. Copper sulphate, two grains, oxide of iron- Your attorney is waiting below, sirg he says he must see you immediately. Show him up here, cried Storms, and tell him to wash his face, as l am going to take his picture in natural colors.

WHEN the call for the football squad was made at the opening of school in Septem- ber, there were many of the worthy war- riors of the year before whose faces were sorely missed, and it proved to be a serious problem to the coaches, as to what would be the best courses to pursue, with so many positions to fill with new mate- ral. l-loles left through graduation and other Ways by men like Brown, Culkin, Denfelcl, DuMoe, Dunn, Flinn, l-loopes, Lawrenz, Mann, Stevens, and Whiteside were going to be hard to fill. The last year's D men, however, were not all gone, as one might imagine by going over the above list, because there were Cap- tain Kerr, 'iYid O'Brien, and Bob Walsh to build the back field around. Phil Warner returned to his line position and proved to be a real nucleus to build up the line. Gloom was apparent in the squad when it was learned that his team-mate l-loopes would not be able to play, be- cause of an injury to the knee. 194 The season was not the most successful that Duluth Central High School has ever had. There were two high school defeats scored up against the team, but these were redeemd to some extent by defeating her old-time rivals in the last game of the season. The team shifted in its line-up from time to time during the season, in order to strengthen some of the weaker points. When the season closed and the curtain fell for the football season, fifteen men had played in the required number of games to win the official emblem which was part of their reward. Here is the roll of honor, in the order we find their names in the roster: BARTLETT Quiet, unassuming, and well liked by all the team, Lee showed the good qualities he possessed in the Superior game. JENTOFT Clarence is the little lint that always loomed up most con- spicuous in the tackling game. I-le sure held his position at end down fine. KERR Q Captain P Quality and quantity is what applies to Bob, for much of the credit for our team's showing this year is due to his hard efforts. LAWSON Though George was only a sub this year, he showed up well whenever given a chance. We expect him to do things next year. LEWIS XVell liked by everybody with whom he comes in contact, George is only a Sophomore, and judging by his work this season, Central is assured of a steady, consistent player for the next two years. MANN Dutch Mann began to get so clever with the forward passes that Phillips asked Glyer if he didn't want the field lengthened before the Superior game. The manfnl that stole the dummy's heart away. NEFF Fat played a consistent game at guard and could generally be relied upon to deliver the goods when the ball was passed him. O'BRIEN Yid O'Brien's pushing pulled us out of many a hole. Yid ended up with hard luck toward the close of the season, but he showed some fast work in all the games, and as he has two years left much is expected of him. 195 RASMUSSEN Ben played a hard, consistent game all season, and he will un- doubtedly be one of the mainstays of the line in his following years. RICHARDS Johnny's fast on his feet and showed up to good advantage in receiving forward passes. He is also a good tackler. SOLI-IEIM Sofie Solheim was a big factor in developing a strong line. He was always on the job and kept his man guessing all the time. SULLIVAN I Sullivan isn't a big man, but he took up a Whole lot of room in the line. His opponents usually found him a pretty hard proposif tion, too. TAYLOR A player who will throw his head-gear to the sidelines when his opponents score, and continue to play without it, is some many Locky did this in the Superior game. We are afraid that some day Locky will bite his tongue off, but we know he will never lose his usmilef' 'WALSH Bob's forward passing was a feature of the games this season. Whenever Central needed her yards badly, the ball was given to Bob, with the result that the yards were made. WARNER fCapt.-Electj Phil Warner, our next year's captain, the man with the famous toe that won a few of our games, and one of the scrappiest men on the team, is expected to develop next year one of the best teams in the history of the school. Much mention ought to be made and much credit given to the alumni for their part in the development of the team, both for the assistance in coaching and the experience in the annual game offered at the opening season, nor must the second team be forgotten for the work that they did in the development of the team. Some will re- ceive their rewards by promotion to the first team and some in the experience they have gained in the season's practice. The basketball season proved to be more promising than the football season. With the defeat of Superior March l3th, the Du- luth Central High School finished its basketball season with seven victories to its credit and only one defeat. This put the Central team in a position for an equal claim with Virginia for a representa- 196 tion at the Carleton College tournament. The roll of honor for the basketball team is as follows: Farah, Karon, Moore, Scriven, Shaw, Solheim, and Taylor. Hockey has had a real try-out this year, not so much as an inter-scholastic sport, because of the difficulties first, of getting games, and second, of getting a rink to play the games on. The experience of this year has given hockey the momentum that will make it one of the leading winter sports of the Central High School. Track athletics look bright from all indications and records made so far in the inter-class meet and the dual meet with the Y. M. C. A. team held in February. Skuli Hrutfiord was easily the star of both meets, and the records made in some of the events will stand for some time. At the present writing it is difficult to predict what will happen in outdoor baseball, although a successful series of class games is looked for. The Seniors have already challenged the Faculty to a game of indoor baseball, and all the lovers of the sport are interested to see just what kind of revenge will be dealt out to the faculty for the four years of punishment the Seniors have been forced to go through. Q 0 0 ln all lines of athletics the work of Mr. Glyer, faculty manager and coach, has counted for a great deal. A new man in the school, unacquainted at first with the fellows, he has worked hard for the success of the athletics of the school, and the results-well, read on. -.5 , ,M 3 ff' .1 'I if X xr! I 197 Y ,l OQ'gl BrlXQl , .. The prospects for a winning team to represent Central in l9l4 were very low at the time when the football squad was called out for practice last fall. The school had lost Mr. Schilling as coach, Scotty Brown as captain, and all but five of the previous year's D men. But with Coach Glyer in lVlr. Schilling's place, and with Cap- tain Kerr, Warner, Walsh, O'Brien, and l'loopes as a nucleus of the extra large squad which turned out for practice, the future brightened considerably, and when the time has come for summing up the merits of the team we find that it had an enviable record. 1 To Coach Glyer and Mack Cook, who was assistant coach, great praise is due for the manner in which they rounded a team out of a squad which was for the most part composed of green material. Also Bob Kerr deserves much credit for his excellent management of the team, and the team itself deserves to be commended for the fight and spirit which it showed even when a game seemed lost. The season as a whole was very successful, despite the fact that a few games were lost. The result from a financial standpoint was satisfactory. The games played against other high school teams resulted in three victories, with but two losses. And as a climax for the season our team defeated Superior Central by the score of I8 to 7. The prospect for a very strong team next season is excellent, since only five D men will be lost by graduation. They are Robert Kerr, Locky Taylor, Frank Neff, Lee Bartlett, and Stanley Solheim, while Captain-Elect Warner, Walsh, O'Brien, Lawson, Lewis, Mann, Jentoft, Richards, Sullivan, and Rasmussen will probably in 1915 make up one of the best teams that ever represented D. C. H. S. The Schedule. Duluth 0-I2 Almuni. Duluth 0-l2 Two Harbors Duluth 9 Galahad. Duluth 0-- 3 Virginia. Duluth I2- 0 lronwood. Duluth 7-27 St. Paul.

Solheim and Scriven, two former D men, were the foundation of the new team. Moore was chosen for center and the other two positions were filled by Taylor and Karon. By constant training, this team developed speed, team work, and accurate basket shooting. From the standpoint of games won and lost, Central came out far ahead of her opponents, and her total score was 240, while that of the opposing teams was only I43. Although Central made an excellent showing on her own floor and on the floors of her opponents, there was one thing lacking, and that was the financial support of the student body. This neglect on the part of the students not only put the team in debt, but tended to cause a lack of encouragement for the players at times when some good rooting was needed 'ito get them going . Nevertheless, great praise is due to the coach and team for the excellent showing they made during the season. The line-up was as follows: Guards, Captain Solheim, Taylor, Farahg center, Mooreg forwards, Scriven, Karon, Shaw. Although all but one of the first team men will graduate this June, there is a wealth of good material among the lower classes, out of which a very formidable team will probably be developed next year. The season's record is: Central I4-I0 Cloquet. Central I3-20 Cathedral Central 68 7 Denfeld. Central l6-- 7 Hibbing. .Central 32- 7 Superior. Central 9-38 Virginia. Central 20-I9 Hibbing. Central 40-- 7 Denfeld. Central 5-I4 Cathedral Central 23-I4 Superior. 2 40 X. HO LII Y., Last year, l9l4, the Athletic Association decided that hockey should be a major sport in the high school and that D's should be awarded to those students who made positions on the first team. lmmediately after the inter-class series had been finished, Captain Parsons and his band of recruits settled down for a hard practice in order that they might make a good showing in the Duluth Amateur Hockey League. The team worked hard to win, and in every game they fought hard to the end, but it seemed that Fate had decreed that Central should not win. but in spite of all that the boys slipped one over on Fate and didn't lose every game. Although Central didn't end the season at the top of the league, a foundation has been laid on which hockey in years to come ought to rise high in the halls of fame. The line-up this year was: Rover, Captain Parsons, center, I-legardtg right wing, Gunderson: left wing, Kerry cover-point, Mc- Cormackg point, Warnerg goal, Paineg spare, Collins. Of these, five will be lost by graduation, but with Warner, McCormack and Paine as a nucleus for next year's team, and with all the good hockey mate- rial which was seen in the inter-class series this year, there should be an excellent chance to win a reputation for D. C. H. S. in the season of l9l5-l6. This year's standing of teams was: Won. Lost. Pct.

Practice began in earnest after Christmas vacation, and the girls turned out in good numbers. They were very enthusiastic and put in much effort and time, so it was not long before the first and second teams were picked. The line-up is as follows: First-Harriet Kugler Qcaptj, forward, Marion Lutes, center: Ruth Fisher, guard, Edna Morterud, forward, lla Whiteside, guard: Beatrice Henly, guard. Second-Nina Morey, center, Roberta Richie, forward, Bessie Simon, guardg Anna Bencla, forward, Della Keene, guardg Evangeline Trolander, guard. Then regular practice days for the week were selected and the team settled down to serious practice. As we had no coach, Miss Armstrong of the faculty kindly volunteered her services, and too much praise cannot be given her for the time and effort she has spent helping us. Under her coaching the teamwork was perfected. Good, clean passing was a feature of every game played, and in addition, the team had the fighting spirit that couldn't be beat. Therefore we held the large end of every score. One of the greatest difficulties in girls' basketball is securing games, but this season we have had more than formerly, several being scheduled with out-of-town teams. Games on our gym floor and return games were played with Proctor high school, Y. W. C. A., Denfeld high school, Two Harbors high school and the Normal school. ln all the games played, both at home and out-of-town, the spirit before and after the game was admirable. There was friend- liness and good feeling and sense of fair play, in spite of occasional dissatisfaction with rulings, and friction among players, which is hard- ly avoidable, and is forgotten immediately. ln closing it must be said that the team was admirable in spirit, and represented D. C. H. S. ably and honorably. RUTH FISHER, '15, 205 1 CI ASS 3W'l'lVli1VHNCii3, fl',RA,CK JXND .IiA5'i ,53,N .I Swimming is a new line of athletics inaugurated last year. ln its iirst season it gained a great deal of popularity, largely because of the wholesome, clean exercise it provides. The Boys' Dept. of the Y. M. C. A. presented a banner to the class of l9l6, who won the championship the first season. This year afforded even a more successful season, great interest being shown in the new sport. The Sophornores won the championship, defeating last year's prize ducks, 40 to 37. The Zenith goes to press before the track or baseball seasons have had time to materialize into anything which would indicate the outcome of the inter-class contests in these lines of activity. But according to the present outlook there is going to be a pretty close inter-class track meet this spring, in which it seems the Juniors will probably make the best showing. As to baseball, nothing has been done toward a series, but if anything should be done in that branch of athletics, the Seniors ought to have no trouble in maintaining their usual high standing. ZZUT When the class of 1915 entered high school the boys on the Freshman basketball team showed how timid they were by losing every game they played. However in its Sophomore year ' I 5 began to aspire to higher fame, so they beat the Freshmen of 'l6, but they were elated to such a degree by this victory that, by the time they came back to earth, it was too late to do anything in the line of winning the school championship. But they had learned their lessong and, as Juniors upholding the honor of the Blue and Gold, scared the mighty Seniors of 'I4 by making them play three games to decide the series. The year l9l5, the Seniors chose Lachlan Taylor to captain their basketball team. Lockey was on the job early, and even in the basketball tournament, which was played previous to the inter-class series, he was on the lookout for good men to make up the Senior team. After the tournament had been finished, Captain Taylor called out the squad, from which he chose a team composed of Cap- tain Taylor, Bob Kerr, Franklin Neff, Reginald Reed, Douglas Moore and Lawrence Nelson- This bunch of stars practiced for a couple of weeks, during which time some excellent teamwork was developed. In the inter-class series the Seniors defeated the Freshmen and Sophomores without experiencing any difficulties: and without a doubt they could have shortened the championship series to two games, but it wouldn't have been interesting if the championship of the school had been won so easilyg so what did the kind Seniors do but give the Juniors a game? The day after this great Victory on the part of the boys of 'l6, there were quite a few large heads in the ranks of the Juniors. The men of 'I5 decided that conditions were bad, so they just simply took the championship right out of the hands of the less experienced juniors by winning two games straight, which made a superb ending for the great struggle which l9l5 had made for supremacy in basketball during its four years of school activities. 209 SENIOR HOCKEY TEAM Class llulloelfxcy. inter-class hockey became in l9l5 of greater importance than it had been in former years, for the school team depended entirely upon the class teams to develop material which was to represent D. C. H. S. in the Duluth Amateur Hockey League. This was due to the fact that no school team has been formed in the past five years, so there were no D men to form a foundation for the team this year. But as to the series itself, the Seniors had put the Freshmen and Sophomores to rest when they came upon a crowd of Juniors who had the nerve to think that they could defeat the Seniors in some hockey games. Well, the Seniors took them on for a round or two, with the result of two games won, third game unnecessary, scores 5 to 3 and 7 to 2, and school championship awarded to the men of the class of l9l5. The team which was able to make such a good showing and to raise the fame of l9l5 athletics to a greater height than it had ever reached before was composed of Captain Parsons, l-legardt, Gun- derson, Kerr, Collins, Bartlett, and Gates. Out of this team five men were used on the school team, which goes to show the high standard which was reached in inter-class athletics by the class of l9l5, also the service which the boys of l9l5 were rendering to their school teams before they were separated from the school by graduation. 211 i 5 ihefwf f N V x ., 433. 5, , , :. K li X35 fi s ,gf an M xx 9 V W 5 in my 'N Q- SeiruioraZ1'iafc'azli:Qy On Wednesday, April Zl, a great catastrophe occurred at the Central Y. M. C. A. It appeared in the form of an indoor baseball game between the Senior boys and our beloved Faculty. Much to the dee-light of the Juniors, the Faculty won by the score of 25 to l4. A great crowd was gathered to see the contest, and much joy was thereby obtained. Many were the howls of delight when some of our dignified faculty slid second and caused employment to many local tailors. Speaking of tailors, Mr. Taylor was there with both feet and his limp. Mr. Young played third base and we will have to hide him or Connie Mack will steal our principal to take the place of Baker. The two uringersu, Joyce 61 Shilling, played fine baseball. Christy Mathewson will have to look out if Joyce ever gets the Big League Bug . Now about the Seniors. They always did love their teachers and besides many were back in their work, so they allowed the i'Profs the better of the argument. Kerr, Peterson, and Hoopes, being all low in their work, did the honors in the box. They pleased the Faculty so well that they all graduated. The rest of our brother Seniors took great clee-light in jumping on Mr. Young and Mr. Glyer as they slid for second base. Some one heard Mr. Benson was going to give a test the next day so Mr. B. received a blow on the nasal promontory. The game, though it rather slaughtered our national pastime, was a quite jolly contest, don't ye know to some of the spectators. D. Segog wanted to know which was the bat, when Parsons came to the plateg H. Burnside was stuck on the member of the faculty who wore white trousers. Everybody delighted to see Mr. Taylor tangle up his legs when he ran. And we'd all go again to see Art Levy knock clown and sit on Mr. Young. Not that we bear any ill will but, Variety is the spice of life. It sure was a howling success, so to speak. And we earnestly hope the Faculty trims the Seniors next year. 213 W Q- I -vm xxx xv umm. iXXQ HIl1lllllll AK. f----'-:WQII lllllllll Illllll 'Ill' lm- - i 2EE M iff..iI'l 'l5sEl-.l1i25ffl' ll 'izgflllll' ml ,, , Qs .:::: I-rv!

So great an impression was made upon the audience-among whom were some real critics-that all united in saying that it was the nearest approach to a professional play ever given in a high or prep. school. The play was produced and staged by Mr. Lee C. Rasey, of the High School faculty. With the intelligence of an expert he picked his cast and drilled them until the expression and ustage movements were practically natural. Goldsmith's meaning was brought out and presented only through the splendid interpretation, the credit for which is due entirely to the producer. Mr. Rasey's reputation is established as one who can interpret and reproduce an author's mean- ing in a way that brings credit to the community as Well as to his school and himself. The cast are to be complimented on the way in which each individual responded to every suggestion. It required many weeks of work, and enough credit cannot be given to the actual tools that wrought the finished piece of art, as it were. Muriel Smith, as Miss I-lardcastlen, showed real ability in expression that won spirited approval from the audience both evenings. Robert Zuger, as Young Marlowe , worked out a difficult part in a way that showed talent well trained. Reginald Reed, as 'ilVlr. Hardcastlen, combined natural ability with rigid training, with remarkable results. If the audience expressed its approval of any one character more than the others, it was of lrving Grover. He entered into the character of Tony Lumpkin with a hilarious spirit and a hasty temper that made a hit . Vina Walz, as his extravagant and indulgent mother, was equally good and constantly won applause for both. Harold 215 Baker and Margaret Johnson, playing together as Hastings and Miss Neville, gave splendid interpretations of those characters. Beside success as a play itself, it was a success indeed, financially speaking. The 35710 in receipts represent more, by one-third, than any sum ever realized from a similar production. This is due almost entirely to the splendid advertising, which was in charge of Townsend Hoopes. With Miss Taylor as his helper, many novel ideas were introduced, which all contributed to the great results. Townie cer- tainly handled the business end of the play well, and his is the credit. For the staging of the play, Ben Wood and his helpers must be given the highest praise. Without the scenic effects secured only through Wood's personal acquaintance, the show would never have brought forth the applause it did. Here, too, Manager Coburn of the Lyceum is due a great deal of thanks. Beside the new draping curtain, the splendid orchestra, and the glee club, many surprises were furnished. Beyond a doubt no one can be found who does not rate this as the best of class produc- tions, and the nearest approach to a finished show ever attained in the line of school dramatics.

L 228 McQueen Uifflois i1Deaffflf9 On March 26, at 9:20 a. m., the students of the High School were amused by the most comical farce of the death of Queen Dido ever produced. Mr. Custance, producer and author of the skit, de- serves all the credit possible, his rendering of the Hsnaky music be- ing most fitting. Ruth Saxine and Ralph McCarthy, in the leading roles of Dido and Aeneas , were assisted by a picked cast that has never been equalled. So great was the demand for talent that William Craig, who became famous as Aeneas last year, was recruited. The chorus was as beautifying as the best. Vina Walz and Louise Southwick introduced the new popular hit, lt's a Long Way from Dear Old Carthage , assisted by the entire company. Among the male characters were those famous comedians, Spike Craig and Solemn Homer Collins. The tragedy actors, Jeremy Bill Harrison and Fidus Hegarclt, aided the former two in producing comedy and emotional acting. Bertha Blair, as Dame Rumor, introduced the play, giving a perfectly serious prologue: Mildred Turner officiated as the Under- takerg and Robert Zuger, the Homer Barton of High School theatricals, handled the part of Mars. The chorus was made up of Emma Lieske, Agnes Macdonald, Theresa ldzorek, Vivian Anderson, Engenie l..eRicheux, Edna Freimuth, Dorothy McKay, Charlotte Dun- ning, and Mary McGonagle. ln short, the story of the play was the planning of Aeneas to escape from Carthage, the kingdom of Dido. l-lis escape was frustrated, and instead of going to Europe to fight, as he had planned, he was sent to Duluth, Minnesota, where he was to study Latin for four years in the Central High School, under the instruction of a professor without any hair to spare. The play was well staged, but the all-star cast could play only one night, as Manager Townsend l-loopes has booked every city from here to New York. Mr. Custance will appear with an entirely new cast next March. The usual prices will prevail. 229 Mg ,wiv 'rl N11 A .-4 mv irimrciass Track Meet.

Some excellent material was shown in this meet, and with two D men, Seymour and Hrutfiord, as a basis, Coach Glyer should turn out a winning school track team this spring. The school is boosting to send a team to the state track tourna- ment, to be held May 29. Hrutfiord at least will be sent, and prob- ably a few others. The interscholastic meet open to the four high schools of Duluth and Superior will be held june 5. The Zenith goes to press too early to record the results of either of these meets, but we expect some good work to be shown, and we expect also also the best of this work to be shown by D. C. H. S. 231 SENIQR GIRLS' CLUB. JUNIOR- GaAs You Emilie ltfi fApologies to Shakespeare., ln the little town of Newton are two schools, Katherine Hall for girls, and Fairfane House for boys. The two schools are situated side by side for convenience' sake, with a solid stone wall between. The purpose of the wall is evident, but on Saturday evenings the wall is broken, as the boys say, for they are given the pleasure of the girls' company. It was Sunday afternoon. The rain was coming down in torrents and dashing against the windows of the old hall. The hard gray walls of the building looked black in the gloom and only a few lights shone out from the windows. lnside, the girls had retired to their rooms for the night and were talking about the entertainment of the previous evening. The boys had surprised the girls with an informal dance given at the House and the girls had not stopped talking about it yet. g Mary Winthrop and Helen Bandridge sat together in their cozy room, saying very little, but both thinking a great deal. A big drop of rain splashed noisily against the pane and startled Mary as she sat staring out into the night. ul wonder why Sadie acted so last night, and flirted so outrage- ously with Grant, said Mary, and then relapsed once more into silence. Sadie Goodrich was the flirt and Fashion Plate of the school. She was never so happy as when she had made some girl jealous of her. Her room was situated in the west wing fthe most comfortable part of the building, and was one of the two single rooms in school. She was selfish and very rich. Recently her eyes had been opened to the fact that Grant Wood, a member of the ul-louse was upaying court to Helen Bandridge, and she thought her proper step would be to break down the affection. Her plan was no sooner decided upon than fate gave her an ideal chance to carry it out. At the dance she had employed Grant's attention so skillfully that she had even suc- ceeded in bringing him home with her. , This last is what Mary had meant. Oh, why shouldn't she? sighed Helen, who was thinking of Grant, and who wouldn't have accused a living being of ill-treating her. Mary coughed and arose from her place by the window. The room was almost dark, but she stumbled over to her desk and lit the reading lamp. She was soon writing hard, and Helen forgot her and was once more living over the evening of the dance. A little later the door of the room was opened and Helen looked up to see her room-mate clad in raincoat and rubbers, dripping wet. Mary, where have you been? inquired Helen in a somewhat startled voice. V Didn't you hear me go out? l've been trying to ford the road to the mail-box, that is all, replied Mary laughingly. 233 Next day was as bright and cheerful as a January day in the South can be, and the little room-mates had forgotten the dreary day before. Sadie was as gay as the day, and just as she stepped from her room next morning a letter was handed her by the matron with a cheery Good morning. ' Sadie tore the seal and began to read: Dear Sadie, it ready nl want to tell you what a dandy time l had Saturday with you. l've something more in store for us fa secretl. Wednesday night at 9:30 there is to be a dance at the City Hall. Can you go? At the north end of the wall is a hole big enough for your answer at 5 today. You'll hear from me in the same way at 8 in the morning. G, W. She giggled as she read because she was proud of her success. To think of breaking rules with the handsomest boy in the 'il-louse! Of course she would do it, of that she was certain. But how? Well, she would know at five o'clock. At four-thirty Sadie slipped away from the girls with her plan all solved. She wrote it carefully out on her scented note paper, and a few minutes later she tip-toed out to the yard. The hole was there, and after looking carefully about her she placed her little reply in it. Very cautiously she returned to the building, and when she started her studying she was in no little flutter. Next morning she avoided the girls and missed her breakfast on pretense of a headache. She went back to her uchinku and to her greatest delight there was a sheet of paper thrust through for her. It read: Your plan about the fire escape is fine. Will meet you on the north campus. That was all, but to Sadie it meant a great deal. All Wednesday afternoon the rain threatened to fall through the clouds, but by night it was only dark and dreary,--no rain yet. When Sadie crept out of her window and onto the fire escape she could see very little and the iron steps seemed part of the blackness around her. But she felt a great protection in it all, and advanced without fear. She had counted the steps during the day and she knew she was near the bottom. So far she had aroused no notice and was perfectly safe. She had one more step to take, and she groped nervously for the railing. l-ler hand stuck, and in her effort to release it she lost her balance and toppled forward. Her foot caught in a wire stretched across the lower step and her scream was stifled in the long grass. A bark sounded from the Watchman's quarters and soon Sadie saw a light gleam. from that direction. Too frightened and sore to move, she crouched closer to the damp ground and watched the ap- proaching light. When the man came up to her he laughed, and soon a matron's head bobbed out of a window. ln a moment the matron was upon her, and taking her by the arm she dragged her into the building. The noise awoke some of 234 the light sleepers, and soon heads of sleepy-eyed girls appeared in all doors to find out what was the matter. Sadie, muddy, torn, and bruised, stood defiantly before her teach- er. The matron presently demanded what it all meant, but Sadie, seeing the faces of her fellow students, said nothing, and she was ex- cused until morning. Soon a buzzing of voices was heard and every- one was wondering what had happened. When Helen returned to bed, she told Mary, who had been too sleepy to move, about all the excitement and tried to arouse her friend's interest. But Mary did not become so interested and Helen waitd in vain for some word. She had almost gone off to sleep again when she heard something that sounded very much like a giggle from across the bed, but she was too drowsy to be sure. Chapel next morning was filled with excited girls, all waiting for Sadie to .appear. At last she did come and walked stiffly up to the platform. . Well, said the matron, what have you to say for yourself, Nliss Goodrich? But the questioned did not open her lips, and the questioner spoke again: Ai'Where were you intending to go last night? This was a very direct question and Sadie had no alternative but to answer, To a dance, madamf' X' The 'ohs and ahs at this loosened her nerves but she still re- tained an icy countenance. Alone? asked the matron, with emphasis. Sadie hesitiated. What a victory even in disgrace this would be, if she told the truth! But no-what if Grant did care, she would not expose him, No ma'am, l had intended having an escort. The matron saw this was final, but nevertheless she asked, Who? Whenshe received no answer she was not surprised, and so she excused the' girl. Miss Goodrich, your punishment will be severe. You shall be barred from social entertainments and from recitations until further notice-excused! The news spread quickly across the wall, and the boys were interested. They had noticed Sadie's attitude on Saturday night and they wondered what Grant thought of it. But all he said when ques- tioned Was, What fools some girls are! Late that afternoon Mary brought Helen her mail and there was a card from Grant. What do you think of Sadie? it read, some goose, l say, but she'll be out of the way hereafter. Will see you Saturday. And say, tell Mary for me, she's some peach and some escortef' - When Mary came back after supper Helen said nothing, but visions of a dripping raincoat, a trip to the back yard, a hurried break- fast and another trip to the back yard, a long piece of picture wire and a bottle of glue hid in the desk-these all flitted through her brain. GRACE RUSSEL, 'I6. 235 OR STOLEN BY HAROLD BAKERJ A Medley of Popular Hits. Dearest Molly :- l am going to tell you about my trip Cn the Mississippi. Mary Pickfordu accompanied me. She certainly is The Darling of Them All. We Went On the Alabamf' The first evening my dinner was spoiled by putting uToo Much Mustard on my 'Spring Chicken. At the first stop we met Tommy Atkins, who rode a short dis- tance with us, after which we went to see The Trail of the Lonesome Pine. It certainly was magnificent, as it was in Nighttime Down in Burgundy. We surely were a Long, Long Way From Tipperary, for it took two days to get there. While there we met Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm and were enjoying a splendid time until Along Came Ruth. Then we went down By the Beautiful Sea and later to The Devil's Ball. Two Weeks after this we were On Our Way to Mandalay. But before l left uBilly O'Connor sent me the most Beautiful Roses from the Kingdom of Love, while one of the other young men was going to take me in his Little Blue Motor Car to see Mpeg O' My Heart, but to do this he had to Get Out and Get Under so many times that we were late. During our stay at Mandalay, The Old Folks at Home gave a party for us and we didn't get home until three o'clock Mln the Morning Bright and Early. I told them that lf That Was Their idea of a Wonderful Time to Please Take Me Horne. You have heard, no doubt, that old Rip has left his wife without a cent and all the papers are headed with, Who Paid the Rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winklef-V' When the Angelus Was Ringing in The Old Town Hall one night ul just Stopped in to Say Hello to a friend and found her so interesting 'il Just l-lated to Say Goodbye. ul Wanted to Linger a Little Longer, but Mary started Out to Dixie without me and at one time l was afraid She Wouldn't Come Back to Her Lovin' Lou. About a week later when we Crossed the Mason-Dixon Line we went Way Down by Tampa Bay, and when I arrived there l 236 found My Lovin' Mary Was Gone. Where Could She I-Iave Been but Down in Waterloo. After that excitement of Lost My Precious Mary the days were just like An Indian Summer and a week later we went to the Mississippi Cabaret. The people called it The Ball That's All for the orchestra played all the new Fits of the Season like GIendozo Mazurka. The next few days I Was Rather Lonesome until one evening Tommy came along and asked me to go to see his friend Poor Pauline, who had been in an accident. While in Washington we went to see the President and while standing On the Steps of the Great White Capitol we saw the Happiest Little Country Girl with a Great Big Beautiful Doll in her arms. We asked her where she got it and what her name was and she informed us From the Shores of Italy from a man whose name is Fiske O'l'Iara. When we got home and I went up to my room, the lights were out and as' I wanted to finish the book I was reading, namely Ballin' The Jack I had to read by Candle Light. When Mary came home she was all in, for someone had told her that he had only One Idea About the Girls and That's to Love 'Emf' I played Arabian Nights Ragtime to her and she fell asleep dreaming The Dream of Dreams.

A charming young woman walked into the First National Bank a few days ago, and stepping up to the window, she said: l should like to open an account at this bank, if you please. The teller gazed at her adiniringly and replied: We shall be very glad'to accommodate you. What amount do you wish to deposit? Oh, she said, smiling, I mean a regular charge account. You know the kind l mean-such as l have at the department stores. Mr. Ferguson fjust before leaving town on a business trip,-Noo, Mither, dinna aye forget to mak' little Greta tak' off her glasses gin she's na lookin' at onythin'. A MIXTURE OF SENIOR NUTS.

On Friday evening, May 14, 1915, lrving Grover and Roberta Ritchie won for Central her third claim on the Wallace Cup. The subject of Mr. Grover's oration was An immortal Race, and that of Miss Ritchie's declamation, The Battle of Bunker Hill. Excel- lent ability was shown by both of the winners. Other contestants were Claude Cooper, who spoke on The March of the Flag, and Mildred Smith, whose subject was The End of the Task, both of Superior Central, Anne Exstrom, speaking a selection from The Piper, and Walter Yeager, speaking on Peace and Disarmament, of the Denfeld High, and Anna Turnburg, speak- ing The Lie, and Oscar Caleson, delivering ulnglorious Peace, of Nelson-Dewey High of Superior. This is the sixth annual contest for the possession of the Wallace Cup, presented in I9 1 0 by Dr. C. Wallace. The cup has been won by Duluth Central three times, and the decision given to Superior Central three times, tying these two schools for its honors. The school winning the cup the most of the ten contests will become its perma- nent possessor. Milne Song of a Hiwirfzl The song of a bird is a wondrous thing, Thrilling our hearts as we hear him sing. Where is the scholar who'll truly hear? Q Where find the one with quickened ear To guess the secret for you and me, Tell us what message there may be Coming, perhaps, from Eternity ln the song of a bird? Sweet the clear notes ring, Baffling moral questioning. Are the joys of life, And the joys to be, Hidden in unknown mystery ln the song of a bird? 247 4 w w ? U Farewell to Seniors. Seniors farewell! a fond farewell! May peace and happiness with you dwellg ln whatever clime your footsteps roam, May you ne'er forget your Zenith home. There are many places of interest here, But we know the spot to you most dear, The hallowed shrine for which you'!! sigh ls our own grand school, the Central High. Oft in your dreams the chimes you'!! hearg How sweet their melody, loud and clear! They seem to murmur: Do your very best Finish your task ere you seek a rest. Your work you have nobly completed, For many a trophy competedg The victories gained, the laurels won, Remembered will be till life is done. Blended with those memories old, Will float the colors blue and gold, And when you think of the Football Night, You will seem enveloped in red and white. And when we reach that highest goal, And our names appear on the seniors' rollg May our records be as good and clean As left by the graduate class of ' ! 5. All honor to Central High School! Al! praise to the faculty who rule! The class that wears the white and blue, Now bids the Seniors a fond Adieu! NEIL HUMPHREY I8 l 249 L : -.I E 7 E E Eli lg! 7 E, 1g ?1 ' --M 'ii :::::.

But as one of the aims of every Zenith Board is to work out original ideas, the novelty of these features is not so important as their value to the book. Two things deserve particular attention: the elimination of the advertising section, and the printing of the book in the school Printing Department. In order to comply with the restriction placed by the Board of Education on the expense of this publication, it was necessary to reduce this expense to nearly S300 less than that of last year. The cost of printing the advertising section was approximately 5250. Ob- viously, by omitting this section our reduction would be practically accomplished. The Zenith Board considered it better to omit this section than to reduce on any other part of the book, for not only is the section of little value to the book, but the advertising is consid- ered of little value to the merchants themselves. After considering deeply every point of view, the Board decided to eliminate the acl- vertising. This necessitated a raise in the prices of the book, to help replace the net gain obtained formerly thru the maintenance. of the advertising section. The kindly support of the Retail Merchants' As- sociation, the generous gift of the l..amb's Club, and the wonderful success of the Senior Play provided the rest of the deficit, and our Zenith was the best financed in years. The fact was pointed out to us by Mr. Rankin, head of the Manual Training Printing Department, that we could make a consid- erable saving, without impairing the quality of the work, by printing 250 the book ourselves. This, together with the tremendous success of the Senior Play, enabled us to Fill with school material the section for- merly used for advertising, and thus to give the students really a bet- ter book. Acting upon this advice, we proceeded with the printing, and we feel that the project has been a great success. The credit for this success is due entirely to Mr. Rankin, whosupervisecl the work from beginning to end. The boys in the department received their reward in experience, but they deserve thanks for the enthus- iastic way in which they did their part. Pages 25 to 80 were printed by the Jensen Printing Company of Minneapolis, in order to have them roughed, which was done by the same company. The rest of the work was done in the Printing Department, and just as samples of the work, we request the reader to examine the cut of the football team on page l98, and that of the debating team on page l86. Hav- ing finished this piece of work, the Printing Department has made its name, and our least return is to give them credit and praise in this column. - Another field for originality is the section of Senior personal write-ups. This year we hit upon the plan of writing them, as far as possible, in verse. This is a job where every member of the Board does a part, and our Board certainly worked hard on the personal write-ups. To judge the fruits of their labors, gentle reader, is up to you. The roughing of the pages of Seniors is quite a novel departure from the unchanging order of this section. We haven't seen the re- sults yet ourselves, but our hopes are high, and we believe that the reader will be pleased. That's why we did it. The engraving for this book was done by the Duluth Photo- Engraving Company, and the binding by the Duluth Ruling and Binding Company. Our dealings with these people have been very satisfactory, and the results you see speak our recommendation. The type was set by the Bennett Bros. Typesetting Co., and their work was also very satisfactory. The photographic work for the Zenith, and the individual por- trait work for the Seniors was done by the Dworshak Studio. Mr. Dworshak deserves our highest recommendation. Through an oversight, the prize poem was not designated. It 251 is Universal Friendship, written by George Altman, our first Honor Pupil, and will be found on page 102. The l9l5 artist is Ellard Sibbitt, who did all the decorating except that in the class sections. The Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman sections are the products of the work of Mr. Jacob Caron, Mr. Emanuel Cook, and Miss Elsa Zachow, respectively, who edited their class sections. To Mr. Young and the faculty Censorship Committee we owe a great deal of thanks for advice and actual help in correcting copy. Mr. J. F. Taylor, the Faculty Treasurer of the Zenith Board, has given val- uable time ancl suggestions, as well as the use of his room for meetings, to the Zenith Board. To Miss Bain and her pupils of the Commercial Department, we wish to extend our hearty thanks. Their help in getting the copy type- Written in good shape for the compositor has been inestimable. Then we must earnestly thank the school in general for the spirit they have shown, both in their contributions and in their loyal support. There are no slams in this book. If you find a joke that hits you in a touchy spot, remember it's a joke, and as there is no ill feeling behind it, we want none created in its wake. Last-by no means leasthwe extend our sincere appreciation to Miss Taylor. Few realize how many hours Miss Taylor has worked to make this book a success. Our thanks are painfully inadequate. So here is our Zenith. lmperfect? Certainly. Was ever an earthly thing perfect? But our Zenith speaks for our class after we are gone: so pick up this book again, read our record, and be reminded that there graduated in 1915 a class that was a class. 252 Have Done Ecliiooi..
