In spring, when swollen rivers rushed and roared, ' The logs began their precipitous flight To waiting saw mills on the river bank. But in their haste, the logs would jam- Clos 'Twas then, the driver, steady and so sure Would nimbly jump from log to log To find the key log of the jam. Un loosening this crucial log A turbulent mass of foam, logs, and men A moment in wild confusion wrought. Then forward calmly the river swept Bearing its ponderous burden on. And still from log to log he jumps, Certain of every step he takes, So strong and lithe, this lumberjack The hewer of the great Northwest. S65 TlZ!E.QIiCELE L . E LNINETEENIITURTY-FOUR.

On various oc- casions both the Glee Club and the Mixed Chorus have appeared before the publicg however, preparing for the annual Music Tournament at Eau Claire on May ith, 1934, in which both organizations participated has occupied most of the time allotted to this activity. The results of this tournament are as follows: Glee Club First lace' Mixed Chorus third place. All solos placed at the tournament. a P a a MIRLS' f2l.lCl'I i'l.I'IK ROW' 1 -li. llmiurois, Il.

I helieve in my own alwility to work erliciently and think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I can secure, and in the ahility of organized farmers to serve our own and the puhlic interest in marketing the product of our toil. I lwelieve we can safeguard those rights against practices and policies that are unfairf, That is part of the creed of the Future Farmer of America and the goal which every Ia'.F.A. lwov endeavors to reach and maintain. Last fall the chapter made out a list of seven ohjectives for the coming year. They were as follows: Have a summer camp, li. F.

Roels, an almost entirely new team was formed into a skillful quint. After weathering a tough schedule Chippewa finally entered the district tournament competing with seven other crack teams. Having defeated the first two teams, they entered the finals with colors flying, but were defeated in an overtime period to the tune of 30 to 28. To have been defeated twice in their schedule by Eau Claire and then to lead them in the tournament only to be beaten was certainly a decided cliscouragement, but to a team of Chippewa's perseverance it was but a case of grin and bear it and go out to win again next year. Because of this kind of spirit Chippewa has always produced teams of su- perior ability.

School Life THE MONOCLE NINETEEN TI-IIRTY-FOUR Stunt Night The eager anticipation before Monocle Stunt Night which has always been prevalent in former years was only more so this year. As ever, the milling crowd was estimated to be greater this year than in preceding years, in spite of the depression. All came to a climax at twelve o'cloclc Friday evening, when the crowd went home tired but happy and declaring the depression is lifting. Awarding of the coveted cup to the best performance was relieved from the judges this year as this custom has been abolished, although this has not annihilated the competition be- tween the classes, in fact, it is even lceener. Sophomores cast custom to the four winds and presented a really par performance in The Duke Came Back. Juniors revealed their ability and talent in Hiawatha's Wedding, a very interesting act. The Seniors, as usual, supported their reputation in the portrayal of the bold buccaneers and their captives in The Pirates Prizes. Oh for the life of a pirate! The District Music Tournament On May fifth, the band and vocal organizations of our Senior High School participated in the Western Wisconsin District Music Tournament held at Eau Claire. Students repre- senting twenty-two high schools from neighboring towns gathered there to compose the second annual tourney of its kind to be held in that city. This was sponsored by the Live Y'er Club and was held in the Senior High School and Elks' Club buildings. The program of solos and ensembles began at eight o'cloclc in the morning and continued throughout the day. At five-thirty a colorful parade was staged, thus giving the judges their opportunity to judge the marching, manouvering and playing of the competing bands as well as to give the spectators a chance to see the bands in action. The evening program, held at the I-Iigh School Auditorium consisted of numbers given by a mass band directed by james Gillette of Carlton College. Following this came the an- nouncement of the list of places. Those that received first place in our high school are: Girls' Glee Club Band-Playing and Marching Tenor-Charles Bennett Saxaphone-Marlow Magnus Violin-Stella Favell Saxaphone-Bob Jenness Trombone-Eunice Bollom Basson-Georgia Abrams Saxaphone quartet-M. Magnus, L. Lange, G. Bender, B. Jenness. In addition to these eighteen second and four third places were awarded. For the band's splendid results in marching, a silver trophy, donated by the Eau Claire Chamber of Com- merce was given to them. We may well be proud of the line showing our organizations have made, and we owe our gratitude to Mr. Knox and Miss Averill, who deserve much credit for the time and labor they have spent in helping us to attain our fine record. sixty-five THE MONOCLE NINETEEN TI-IIRTY-FOUR Then The Waters Rose- About eleven o'clock on Tuesday, April third, classes were reciting as usual, when a breathless messenger rushed into each of the classrooms with the astounding statement: All students living on the east side, leave for home immediately as Duncan Creek is rapidly rising. Pandemonium broke loosel The students living on the east side rushed out of their respective classrooms with pictures of rising waters sweeping their homes to destruction, whirl- ing in their brain. In the class rooms they had so hurriedly left, the teachers were valiantly calling for the conjugation of French verbs, or the date of the Civil War-but in vain. Then a bell sounded, out rushed the students, and after them came the teachers. Due to the previous rains of the night and the melting snow, Duncan Creek went on a rampage, sweeping bridges and buildings before it. The crest of the flood reached Chippewa about noon, however, when school called at one o'clock, the assembly was filled with about thirty noble souls who were immediately dismissed so that they might join their comrades. All the inhabitants of Chippewa Falls and vicinity liocked to the various centers of de- struction. Junior High was dismissed, stores were closed. Everyone was at the Hood. To give any conception of the destruction wrought in such a short time, is almost impos- sible, however, in tracing the course of Duncan Creek through the town, a general picture of the damage may be formed. Irvine Park was completely Hooded, every bridge over the creek being swept away. The rustic bridge from the northern end of Bridge Street to the Marshall playgrounds was demolished. When the turbulent, muddy water reached the Woolen Mill, it divided-part taking its natural course, and the rest flooding Jefferson Avenue. In trying to save some of the lighter machinery and woolen material, a group of girl workers were ma- rooned in the mill for about nine hours. On swept the seething water, flooding its banks and carrying huge cakes of ice in its wake, until it reached the three story building formerly occupied by the Hand Made Shoe Company. The side wall of this building crumpled into the raging waters. Ar twelve o'clock the large bridge across Duncan Creek at East Central street was washed away and swept down the creek as hundreds of people gasped in awe, expecting that it would strike the Spring Street bridge and sweep that away also, however, the current swept the heavy structure along in such a manner that the Spring street structure was not touched. Imagine the feelings of the Monocle Staff when they viewed the Chippewa Printery. What had become of the annual? That was of small concern when the damage done to the Printery was seen. The basement wall of the Printery was washed away and part of this structure, together with its expensive printing equipment toppled into the raging waters. The entire Vaudreuil lumber yard was under water, and much valuable lumber as well as part of the ware houses were washed away, however, part of the lumber was salvaged on the banks of the Chippewa River after the water had receded. The picture at the end of the page shows the River street bridge just as it was being swept. away. seventy THE MONOCLE NINETEEN THIRTY-FOUR ONE PHASE OF SCHOOL LIFE One class follows another in a seemingly unending monotony. Subjects begin to lose their interestg nerves are strained to the breaking point, tempers of both teachers and pupils are short and snappy. The explanation of some intricate problem or otherg the discussion of this or that English authorg the whisper of pencils rapidly drawn across the paper, the sibilant words of one pupil spoken furtively to another are all viewed 'as through a heavy dark curtain. Five minutes before the end of a period a bell is rung, immediately books are gathered. conversations begun, and the teacher lets her voice rise to a crescendo and starts a tirade against the offenders. Having got a semblance of order, the teacher again resumes the tomor- row's assignment. The pupils, at the thought of another day of hard-backed chairs, tedious assignments and non-lenient teachers, sigh heavily. But in the afternoon- The first period in the afternoon is invariably the worst of the day. Dinner or lunch has just been eateng the afternoon sun is shining bright, both conditions unite to produce a de- lightful condition of laziness. Near the close of the period the pupils are just about in a state of comag one whole hour and a half before school lets out and youth is once again free! The first bell rings! It is only two o'clock! What is going to happen? Then the second bell-each student holds his breath and begins to count-one--two-three! Assem- bly! Each face brightens and lethargy is swept away. Every pupil has a treat to look for- ward to immediately-twenty-five minutes of delightful relaxation in the assembly, either lis- tening to a program or singing popular songs. This is one phase of school life that does not become wearisome. Ask any pupil! WARD WALKER A CRITICISM ON DRESS It would be unfair to speak of one's personal appearance, his peculiar ideals, or his man- ners, but I think one should consider his health as of paramount importance first. During the dead of winter in the midst of a blinding blizzard and quite intense cold, I was dumbfounded at seeing a young man almost old enough to vote, fighting his way through that snowstorm without a hat or any head protection of any kind. I know it is none of my business to tell him what to wear under such conditions but to me such unnatural dress symbolizes the typical candy-kid, -but to himself, he is, I suppose, dashing I think blaspheming falthough it is a fearful taskj the women should come next. If it were in the warmer season, namely summer, I wouldn't criticize or denounce, but on cold wint- er momings, it is shocking to behold young women wearing anklets, half-socks, and in general light summer attire when they probably could be just as attractive by dressing sensibly. After all I may be quite mistaken in my criticisms for I'm no authority, but, you see, I have been a fool myself! DUANE ROYCRAFT seventy -three Q-IE MONOCLE1.. cd--. - NINETEEN TH1RTY.FoUR What Does The Monocle Mean To You? Many students take the annual as a matter of course as some book wherein it is their duty to have written the names and good wishes of all their comrades. But it is much more than this, the Monocle represents the time and labor of fourteen people under the supervision of Miss Whelan. As soon as school begins a staff is chosen. The first task is to collect all the senior class pictures and mount them. Previous to last year, all the mounting was done by the engraving company, but because of the need to economize, the staff has done the mounting. By mount- ing is meant the collecting of all the senior pictures, placing them in alphabetical groups of twelve, cutting them down to a uniform size and pasting them on individual sheets of heavy cardboard. This year because of the demand for personals, it was necessary to find some verse suitable for every senior and typewrite it beside the name. Then the class history of every senior had to be checked and put in its proper place. Those snapshot pages or pages of pictures of plays or Monocle Stunt Night require a good deal of time and patience. The pictures are usually taken by Mr. Meyers, then they are pasted on cardboard, extreme care being taken to fill every space, and last, the names are printed beneath the pictures. These are sent to St. Paul where a cut is made, that is a block of wood covered by copper which prints the picture. The cut is then sent to the Chippewa Printery and a picture of the page is sent to the staff. The pictures are kept and pasted in a dummy-the book that is sent to the Printery from which they print the Monocles. Those insert pages-those that divide the book into its various parts-were watercolored by hand as most of you probably know. It was necessary to color eight sheets for each of five hundred books or a total of four thousand sheets. On each picture not less than four colors were used. The poetry beneath had to be especially composed to explain the theme of our book and the manner in which it was carried out by the pictures. When the staff has finally completed the dummy and it it taken to the P'rintery, where they print a rough copy. It is necessary to read and reread the whole book for typographical errors. Another point which should be mentioned here is the answer to the cry for a hard cov- er. Each individual hard cover costs about twenty-five cents. When it is necessary to re- tain the same standard of material within the book, it is impossible to retain the same cover, selling the book for the same price. Do not think that the only people that work on the book are those that aggregate the staff. Miss Whelan not only supervises the staff, but works with them as another member. Mr. Lyons, who has charge of the financial matters, spends a great deal of time in attending to this and furnishing valuable information which he keeps on record. Mr. Meyer gives in- valuable assistance in photography. To mention all the various phases of the work would take a large book, so a very few points have been explained to give the student some idea of the amount of work issuing an annual involves. Take your Monocle, page through it, notice all the written material and in- formation that had to be solicited and compiled. Just stop and think what a Monocle means. seventy-eight
