In this number of the Cardinal, we have tried to provide just such a nook. As this is “the Tenth Anniversary Number of our annual, we have, in a reminiscent mood, given over a portion of this book to things of the past. We trust that the stray facts, which we have gathered from annals of the past, may he of interest to those who are concerned in the history of this high school and this annual. We hope that, within the sheltering angle of these open pages, some weary alumnus may gradually drift hack into those dear old days, when he or she used to hear “Webby give one of those line, stirring talks of his,—or, perhaps, some ambitious undergraduate may be roused to do all within his power to keep up the illustrious name of East High School. If this hook partially accomplishes either of these things, we of the staff shall feel well repaid for our efforts. W. H. K. THE RENAISSANCE OF EAST HIGH I ’HE past year at East High has been one of the most successful years the school has ever had. It might be justly termed “the period of renaissance at East High School. To begin with, we won the long coveted football championship. It seemed too good to be true. Old “grads , and even we who are now in the school, could hardly realize it. East win the championship? Why, it was something to he dreamed of, hut never to be realized. The one “Open Sesame which accomplished this unusual feat, was the monosyllable “Batch , but we were not satisfied with a mere football championship. Under the guidance of a cer- f 101 tain wiry and accomplished youth called “Fudge”, we waltzed, or should I say one-stepped, away with the hockey championship. Even this accomplishment did not satisfy the crowd at East. The lion was awakening. We next produced a “live-wire” tonic and invigorator termed “The Orient”. Suffice it to say that its popularity steadily increases with each weekly edition. By way of side-performance, three valiant, young gentlemen journeyed northward, and removed the scalps from a trio of Duluth debaters, who “were prepared”, but not enough, for such an expedition. Listen carefully; the plot thickens. Next, East mounted the stage and presented two class(y) plays, a vaudeville, and an opera, which no school in this, or any other city could surpass. Then we stepped in and took the leading prizes in a city-wide literary contest. Ere this comes out in print, East will have won glory in track and on the baseball diamond. Also, we shall have celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Cardinal. Tolerable year, I say. How 'bout it? y. H. K. EAST AGAIN ON THE SPORTING MAP EAST HIGH is again back on the Sporting Map. Three cheers for Coach Batchelder and the team. 1 lere’s to the student body which so ably supported them! It has been a long tedious climb, but at last we are there! We must not, however, let this fact lull us into a false sense of security. We can not live upon past records or past achievements. It is up to those who are now in the school, to maintain the supremacy which East has attained. Have you done your share of work in athletics? If not, start now. File best of them had to begin at the bottom. The average athlete needs a year or so of training before he is good enough for the first team. If you fail to make the team the first year you try for it, do not become discouraged. Go out again the following year. Your past year of experience will give you a decided advantage over those who are just starting in. Every fellow in the school should lend a hand and keep up the good records we have started. This means you! On with the good work! yt H. K. TO THE GIRLS TP HE past year has seen a great awakening at East. There has been a revival of school spirit. As a result, two athletic championships have come to us; The Orient has materialized; and various new activities, such as the Camera Club and the Swimming Club, have begun. Surely, credit for this is not entirely due to the boys. The girls deserve their share. They are beginning to realize the boundless possibilities which lie before them. The girls need more athletics. They have, already, made a beginning. (ii 1 Since the beginnings have been made, it is the girls’ own fault if these organizations die. But the girls need a gymnasium, a common place for sport and recreation. Is not the entire body of girls at East High a powerful and influential enough factor to secure this? The united efforts of over six hundred enthusiastic young people can do wonders in such a direction. Since the girls are in majority in the school, they should take an active part in school politics. Girls, support each other in class and council elections! The hoys are not the only ones who have power and executive ability. Perhaps the most crying need at East is a girls’ club, a big democratic organization, with room and interest for everyone. This club could contain many or few departments, as the conditions demand. It could become a medium for clique and class differences. It would do more than any other one thing to raise the standard of ideals and good-fellowship at East; it would go side by side with the “Y” Club. In fact, the movement begun by the “Courtesy Circle” has almost boundless possibilities. Girls, wake up! Join the new awakening! Lay the foundation for your future successes in your school activities and endeavors. R. W. AGAIN? YET? OR STILL? Y70W! We almost forgot it. This book would have been a complete Y failure without it. We just glanced at one of the five terminal members of our left hand, and noticed, entwined thereon, a piece of string. What did it mean? Why this, of course: We had intended to write a “highbrow” article, bewailing the fact that East has no “gym”—no!—nor even the plans for one! Better hurry up, Mr. Alumnus, or you will lose the chance to build one and have your esteemed appellation inscribed over its lofty entrance. V. H. K. I I 12] ANNIVERSARY GREETINGS FROM FORMER EDITORS Earle Baillie (1907 and 1908) “ am delighted that the publication of the Cardinal continues. I congratulate you on your opportunity to be mixed up in such a piece of work. I think the doing of it well is a real service to the school ” Lawrence D. Barnard (1908) “Cardinal days are the happiest in a fellow's life, and will be the source of friendship and help in the days of work and business to come.” William W. Hopson (1909) “May extend my heartiest greetings and best wishes for the success of the tenth anniversary edition of the Cardinal.” Samuel Sewali. (1912) “May the Cardinal find its own place jn the hearts of its readers, where are recorded the memories of friends and good times passed.” Lawrence H. Cady (1910) “King Cardinal on his tenth anniversary has so much red blood flowing in his arteries that it is no wonder the ghosts of preceding volumes look anaemic. I am sure that I speak for many members of the class of lQto in greeting the Cardinal of it) lb, its editors, and its sponsors.” Elaine Cleveland (1914) “My heart is still with East High. Every time East wins, I feel like shouting: Hooray for us! The brains win.9 ” I 13 j [ 14 J A SHORT HISTORY OF THE CARDINAL TI IK first Cardinal to be published at East High was published in 1907 by the junior class of 1908; it was called “The 1908 Cardinal from the name of the class. As the juniors wished their publication to become a permanent institution, they tried to choose a name for their book which would have a lasting fitness and appeal. Many disapproved of the name, “Cardinal”, thinking that it referred to an officer of the church instead of to our school color. For this reason, the covers of the first two cardinals were red, and many of the succeeding ones have followed this precedent, in part, at least. The 1912 annual hail cardinal birds on the cover; the 1909 class used the bird for their frontispiece, and the 1908 class had the churchman in a cardinal robe for a title-page. The prices of these annuals have varied. The first three annuals were sold for fifty cents each; the 1909 Cardinal was a dollar, because of the extra cost of the linen cover. The 1915 Cardinal Board raised the price, which for the three preceding years had been fifty cents, to seventy-five cents. This advance was due partly to the raise in the cost of publication, and partly to the fact that the preceding Cardinals had gone into debt. The 1915 annual was the first for several years to cover expenses. For a similar reason the 1916 Cardinal Board has decided to charge the same price. We hope to make up for the advance in cost by the excellence of our publication. The 1907 class deserves much credit for instituting the custom of a High School Annual at East. So far as we know, East was the first local high school to have a publication of this kind, altho we do not state this claim positively. Earle Baillie was the editor of this first annual, and Edwin Brown, the business manager. There were but five associate editors, and no assistant editor or business manager. The annual was small, containing only ninety-three pages. It had no advertisements. Its pages boasted less than twenty engravings, and only one drawing; the editorial board was represented by baby pictures. The champion foot ball team of 1906, and the school organizations and athletics were the only pictures, save three in an illustrated article and two of Mr. Webster. The literary material was composed of class and organization write-ups, personals, and the cream of the literary efforts of the upper class men. The second “1908 Cardinal” was put out by the June class of 1908. Earle Baillie was again editor. Both of these Cardinals were dedicated to Mr. Webster. The second annual was almost half again as large as the first. It contained more engravings and drawings. There were small pictures of the whole senior class engraved on the inside of the cover, without names or personals. The Old-English titles and small inserts of the same type, such as “ Blessed are those who work—their teachers, at the bottom of the page, made this volume very attractive. ( 15] The 1909 Cardinal was still larger than the 1908. It was the first to contain large class pictures and personals. Altho the severe type in this volume is rather monotonous and the material very frivolous, it has many excellent cuts and engravings, and makes a good memento of the senior class of 1909. Mr. Cady, now one of our instructors, was editor of the 1910 Cardinal. Cream tinted paper and brown ink were used in this book; this rendered it very artistic in combination with the dark brown linen cover, but the quality of the engravings suffered thereby. The 1910 class was the first to use paid advertisements as a means of covering part of its expenses. The 1911 and 1912 Cardinals were both very good, altho somewhat smaller in size than their predecessors. These both had board covers the same as those of the former annuals, with the exception of the 1910 Cardinal. The 1913 annual is interesting because of its joint dedication to Miss Shillock anti Miss Jeter. Its makeup was excellent, having a uniform border for all of the pages. The 1913 Cardinal board changed the policy of the Cardinal; it was no longer an all-senior book, but everybody’s Cardinal. The 1914 Cardinal was very small, and most readers thought it very poor, altho it hail some excellent features. We all remember the 1915 Cardinal because of its radical change in form. The other Cardinals were all of the regular folio shape, but the 1915 board adopted the oblong form, opening from the shorter side. The cover was dark brown with gold design. The paper was cream with brown ink; consequently the engravings were of a poorer quality. There is no doubt of the excellence of the 1915 Cardinal; it was well-proportioned and interesting to all. You now have before you the 1916 Cardinal. We have studied the labors of the former classes in an effort to profit by their experiences and mistakes. We have endeavored to give to the school the best Cardinal yet. We ask you to consider our work in the compiling of this volume, and to have sympathy with our difficulties, and be not too harsh in judging the Cardinal of 1916. Ruth Wagoner. I 10) I 17 1 111.

I hear you shout; I love your mirth; I feel the urge of your warm life. The great world calls. You would burst your bonds and be free. Yet, my dear young friends, you are not living just to be amused; indeed, it is a fatal disadvantage in life always to eat sweets. There is so much for you to do,- earnest, serious work. You must join hands in the great circle of those who toil, winning for yourselves comfort and security, and honor for those whose weary eyes have watched your steady advance; never forget ting their love which will not fail while life endures. Society's claim on you will not be satisfied until you have lightened every man’s burden, lifted some tired woman from her knees, let sun and sweet air paint health and beauty on some pale cheek, given life and freedom to some little child. And to our dear country, strong protector of us all. you will of fer everything: if the quick word which un sheathes a nation’s sword shall be spoken, then you will yield to her. still bravely beauti ful. the supreme treasure of your sweet life. Be strong for your own sake; be kind for the sake of others; be true. To you departing from the old school I call: Farewell and Godspeed. W. F. WEBSTER. iJl E t 19 J WEBBY S SMILE A SONNET TO W. F. NV.’s SMILE W ho does not love the friendly, smiling sun? I ts genial warmth is ever kind and bright. L caving the line of dawn, it sheds its light, L ike rays of gold, on high and lowly one. 1 f, in the early morn, work to be done A ppears too great, and seems not fair or right, M ounting its path, the sun aids us to light W ith courage high ami yielding tasks to none. E ach morn as school we enter for the day, B earning, a smile of cheer and sympathy S ends a message of strength in work and play, 1' o tell us that a friend he'll always be. F. ffacing baser thoughts, this smile does stay, R aising our hopes. That’s what it means to me. Blanche Martin. I 20] MR. WEBSTER TO LEAVE EAST HIGH WEBSTER is going to leave East I Iigh School!” These were the words which startled over fifteen hundred students, hundreds of the alumni, and a great number of people within the city and thruout the state. We were, of course, delighted to hear that Mr. Webster was to be promoted to an office of greater importance, but the very idea of his leaving East High, after his long term of faithful service, filled us with consternation. What was to become of the school? How could East run without “Webby” there to pilot the school thru any difficulty which might cross its path? It is true that the faculty will nearly all be back, that the building will remain just where it is, anil that Mr. (iibson will be here “on the job”; but there will be something missing, and a big “something” at that. The setting will be there, but the gem will be missing. Within the last twenty years the nouns “East High” and “Webster” have become practically synonymous. He has been the beacon-light in the path of learning and the guiding genius in all of our school affairs. Mr. Webster will surely be missed. But, wherever he may be, and whatever his task may he, the very best wishes of all who have ever been so fortunate.as to know him will he with him constantly. To Mr. McWhorter, who is to take Mr. Webster’s place, we, who are about to leave, extend our warmest greeting and best wishes for success. While he will have a hard task in filling the position which Mr. Webster has so long held, it will in a large measure be made easier by the fine spirit of friendship which abounds here in East between both faculty and student-body. I Ie may be assured that the best efforts of all, students and teachers, will he put forward in his behalf. Mr. McWhorter, you have a splendid school to assume the leadership of. We are sure that you will find both success and happiness awaiting you here at East I Iigh School. i 21J iMiss Hazel iCntsc f 221 MISS HAZEL LOTZE WE feel that we cannot have Miss Lotze leave Fast without expressing sincere appreciation of the friendly spirit and willing hand she has given us during her years at East. She can little realize what a help she has been to all of us. Each class has approached its senior year with a feeling that, no matter how things have gone before, the class play would be a success because of Miss Lotze, who has piloted so many classes to the successful presentation of a play. Untiringly she has labored, sparing neither herself nor her time. She has worked with such willingness, good nature, and real ability, that she has accomplished wonders. We are not only grateful for her work in dramatics, but also for the interest and the joy which she inspires in her pupils. Some one has said of her, “She is the embodiment of joy.” She is our comrade and one of us—as “game a sport” for a good time as any one of the pupils. She is broad-minded and sympathetic, democratic and simple in her manners. But though Miss Lotze is leaving us, the spirit of joy, helpfulness, and love, which she has left, will remain behind; we shall still feel that she is ours. Miss Lotze, we wish you great happiness and abounding success. E LIZ A B ET11 A N DE RSOW I I 23] [24] Ye East High Hotel Term‘: a depend‘ Head Bell Boy. Charles Gibson CENTRAL A VENUE Head Chef.

WEBSTER Bv JOHN O. CHRISTIANSON Worked over by Miss Jrter J jAT( RF knows a gentle art zeliich stirs ■ ’ A man's ideals and hopes to greater things: But when this hope on duty bent Calls one away from out our midst, If'e fain would stay the beckoning call And give unwillingly our best unto its keep. Thus, Change, revoTving in his restless course. Does lead from us in honor's train Fair Minnesota’s worthy son. Our eyes rest wistfully upon his visage kind. Vet our glad cheers rise up to speed him on; And though his days at Fast are o'er, his toils ne’er cease To better human lot. He unremittingly searches out The constant truths that speak for heeding man. lie plies his powers and does the manly part; He shirks no austere task, no issue hard. Faithful striving is the zeay that leads his steps to fame. A leader among men he lives, humble, sincere, full of sympathy. His sturdy manhood gentleness and loVc compel. While memory lives, he will live, and serve to guide us, An ez’cr-grouping family, large and free, To better, nobler deeds and higher aims. Il'e still shall see him on the onward szeeep. His face turned lozeard the crest, where He secure shall ride—the symbol of manhood true. May honor note exalt his name, and ceaseless Time proclaim— This is a man. I 26 J MISS PEDERSON YJf HENEYKR we enter that awe-inspiring sanctuary known as Mr. W Webster’s office, whether in time of prosperity or in time of trouble, we are always greeted by the cheering smile of Miss Nora Pederson. No matter how late the hour or how busy she is, she is always willing to help us and answer our trifling questions. Where would we he if it were not for her aid? “I’ve lost my purse; I’ll ask Miss Pederson.” “Pardon me, may I use the telephone?” “May I see my dismissal card? I want to count my credits.” These are only a few of the questions which interrupt her in the course of her daily work. As Mr. Webster’s secretary she has been his able assistant tor the past five years. When Miss Pederson is absent, the school machinery stops. Her value to the school is beyond estimation. She is a favorite with faculty and student body alike. [ 271 MISS JULIA B. CLIFFORD THE year of nineteen-sixtecn is one of many changes and farewells in East 1 iigh School. Not least among those leaving is Miss Julia B. Clifford, instructor in botany and domestic science. She has been with us for many years, and her departure will leave a place hard to fill. Miss Clifford during her long stay at East High has always held the interest of the school at heart; she has been a friend especially to the girls, and has done all within her power to help and protect their interest in the school. Until this last year. Miss Clifford has had entire supervision of the botany work here. Due to her persistent effort and excellent work with this study, East was one of the first high schools in the state to be put on the list of schools with accredited botany work at the University. M iss Clifford has clone much to increase the interest in the study of botany, not only at East, hut in all of the local high schools. She was one of the first people in Minneapolis to advocate conservatories for the city schools. Therefore, thru her long standing and intimate friendships with the people who are interested in this line of educational work, Miss Clifford will be missed by a larger circle of friends than just those at East 1 Iigh. But even here her circle of friends among both students and teachers is large. East High wishes you success, wherever you may be. Miss Clifford. We shall miss you, but yet we would not wish to keep you from greater happiness in some other place, and we hope that you may succeed as well hereafter as you have at East High School. R. E. W.

Time: Seventh Period. The students (?) wander in. “Fudge” Reeves, E. Shober, and “Chet” Rownd come in just as the tardy-bell rings. Miss Jeter (who has been sitting patiently thru all this) : “ I here are a few of you who have not yet handed in all your work for this month. 1 wish you would hand it in as soon as possible, so I can make up your averages. You see, I can't make up your averages until your work is all in; so if you will, please, hand it in just as soon as you can; it will help me. Jeanette, you told me this morning that you would not be prepared today. What was your excuse? Jeanette A : “I had a headache last night.” (Groans and laughter from the class.) Miss J“Margery Carter, your poem, which you handed in the other day, was extremely good.” ( Margery smiles, looks at the floor, the ceiling, and out of the window, trying not to blush.) Miss Jeter: “Edmund Shober, what is the meaning of ‘woodcock’?” E. Shober: “Isn’t it some kind of a faucet?” Miss Jeter: “You're a poor guesser. It’s a bird. Florence 1 len- dricks, what is the meaning of ‘snick-up’?” (Silence for thirty seconds.) Florence .: “Oh! shut up!” (hive minutes wasted in laughter by the class.) Miss . .. “Good! I’ll give you ninety on that. Now, 1 larold Reeves, will you please answer the first question in today’s lesson. ” H. Reeves slowly unfolds and gets out into the aisle, grabbing a book from “Chet” Kownd's desk the while. “Chet” and he have a two-minute consultation over the question. There are giggles heard from H. Spencer, (i. McCraig, E. Shober, I). Boyer, and the rest. Finally, “Fudge” R. blushes and says: “I don't exactly understand what that is right there.” I Ie stands first on one foot and then on the other, eyeing the book desperately. At last the bell rings. Every one gets ready to jump; Miss Jeter says: “You’re excused” (very slowly). There is a wild rush for the door. © (i. M. and G.

The quantity of work these “soldiers of the common good do, is not generally known or appreciated by the school as a whole. These classes are the fourth term stenography class under Mr. Pennell, the third term stenography class under Miss Dana, and the advanced freehand drawing class under Miss Whitten. I. The Stenography Squads. The third and fourth term stenography classes, or squads as we shall style them, do a great amount of good work for all of us here in school. They get out typewritten notices, letters, outlines, and other matter for the faculty; they cut stencils for the school, the Board of Education, and various school committees and organizations; they copy all the Orient material each week; and last, hut not least, they do the copying for the Cardinal. In these classes, there are about thirty-five students. The third term class meets the sixth and seventh periods every day; and if you want to see a mighty busy crowd, just peek into the typewriting-room (which is on the third floor of the main building) any day at these periods. The fourth term class, besides some school work, is sent out to various grade schools to take dictation and to aid in running the principals' offices. They gain some practical experience in filing, answering telephones, and clerical work of various kinds. They leave school after the second period to do this work, and are usually kept busy the rest of the day. II. Miss Whitten’s Art Brigade. The advanced class in freehand drawing, which meets on the third floor of the annex every day the sixth and seventh period, is a big aid in all kinds of school activities. It is especially useful in getting out posters to advertise various school affairs; as track meets, baseball games, class plays, operettas, the Cardinal and the Orient. All drawings or designs for the Orient are done under the supervision of Miss Whitten. The Cardinal could hardly exist without the aid which this class lends it. The cover design, all the section headings, and almost all of the drawings in the Cardinal are drawn by members of this class. The class does work in charcoal sketching from life; pen drawing; water-color work; poster design; other design work: pencil sketching; illustrating; freehand lettering; cartooning; designing for commercial purposes, as for advertisements; and all sorts of other art work, in addition to the Cardinal and Orient work. 174 1 I 75 | = SOPHOMOREBURG NEWS = Edited by Margaret Jackson.

I 2 1 I M I 1 FILIPEK 11 INCH WYATT SCHOBER ANDERSON REEVES ROW ND MERRIMAN THE HOCKEY SEASON OF 1915 AND T6 IIOCKEY is a winter sport which is very popular at East. Each year hockey teams have represented the school, with various degrees of success. Last fall, after the success of the football team, very little was expected of the hockey team, for two championships in a row was not to be dreamed of. Harold Reeves, however, thot differently, and with Manager Chester Rownd he set out to do his best. From the very beginning of practice great interest was shown by a group of boys who came out to give the team a little opposition. I his group called itself “the scrubs. and, under the direction of 1 Iugh Moshier, developed into a scrappy bunch. The first game of the season was played against West. I he Green and White were considered as having the best chance for the championship of any school in the city. Captain Reeves chose the following lineup: Merriman, goal; Schobcr, cover-point; Anderson, point; Rownd, center; Wyatt, left wing; Eilipek, right wing; Reeves, rover. This lineup was used until a change was made hv the graduation of Wyatt. I'he first game i w i M I 85 | with West was won, after a close contest, by an 8-7 score. The next day we played Central and lost a very close game. North came next. This game we won, but, on account of the poor ice, the score was very low. The second game with West was a “hummer. 'This game was played on the Van Clcve rink, and, as West had Capt. Bartel I back at goal, they expected to win. The game was very fast, full of life, and interesting; but the clever work of Reeves, Rownd, and Wyatt proved too much. West lost by a 7-3 score. South proved rather easy. As the season was almost over, sport writers began considering who would be champion. So far. Fast had lost only to Central; therefore the Central game was considered rather important. This game was won by East after a very rough game by a 4-1 score. This was the first game played without the services of Wyatt. 1 Iendricks was moved into left wing for that game; otherwise the lineup was the same as in the previous games. The last two games, with South and North, were won with ease. Sophus I 1 inch of the last year's hockey team returned to school and played the left wing position for these two games. I laving won the Minneapolis high school championship. Fast was also given the title of the Twin Cities. West beat St. Paul Central, the “champs of St. Paul, and as Fast defeated the Green and White twice, no room for argument was left in this case. Captain “Fudge Reeves played head and shoulders above any other high school player thruout the whole season. After the schools season was over, “Fudge played on the Minneapolis Athletic Club team against St. Paul. Those who won their “F’s in hockey are as follows: Reeves, Rownd, Wyatt, Filipek, Anderson, Hinch, Merriman, and Schober. ( . 11. TRACK TRACK activities may be divided into two classes, the outdoor work and the indoor work. Little interest was shown in either class of track work last year. The less said about it the better. The track team for this season was taken in hand by Mr. Batchelder, who inaugurated indoor track so as to be better prepared for the outdoor work. The St. Anthony Commercial Club's gymnasium was secured for practice, so that a track team was turned out to compete with the other schools. Dual indoor meets were held with Central and North. Fast also participated in the city indoor meet at the Armory, and also in the twin city meet at St. Thomas College. The team that represented Fast was as follows: Sprints—Pithlado, Tourangeau, Magiera I lurdles—Mattice, Rownd Weights—Tourangeau, Masica Half-mile—Post, Barnes I I 86 I Mile—I lirt, Hendricks, Peak Relay—Mattice, Pitblado, Tourangeau, Magiera On account of this being Last’s first attempt, besides not having any gymnasium of its own, no great results could be expected; nevertheless, Hast showed up beyond any expectations and upset the “dope bucket” by winning third place in the twin city meet. Much more success is expected as soon as the team can have outdoor work. G. H. TENNIS THE tennis tournaments for the year 1915 were of the same quality as most East High tennis tournaments. In the spring a live interest was manifested in the boys' tournament, and some “hot” matches were played. Besides the usual elimination contest, the “percentage system” was tried out and would have worked splendidly it the time had been longer for the men to play in. According to this system each player in the tournament must play every other man in the tournament, anil the winner is the man who has won a larger percentage of games than any other fellow. It seemed that, just as the tennis season opened, every contestant in the tournament forgot studies and hastened to pay “court” to the tennis balls. When the all-city meet was opened, only four of the fellows in the final rounds were eligible to play, because of the numerous red marks which the others had acquired on their report cards. These four men were Harold Reeves, John McLean, Walter Bruce, and Robert Weeks, the manager. This all-city meet was played on the Minneapolis Tennis Club’s courts, Kenwood Parkway. This was just at the time that all the big “sports” from the other high schools were leaving, and they certainly were fine players. In spite of the fact that East I iigh, unlike the other high schools, had no gymnasium and no good courts to practise on, these men from East I ligh did well. The most interesting match was the Bruce-1 lobbs match, in which the score was 15-13. Hobbs, a South I ligh man, was a tine player, and he led Bruce a merry chase for the right to play in the next match. East 1 ligh lacked a few points of coming in under the second place banner. The girls of East High tried to carry through a tournament, but some one lacked initiative, and their tournament was never completed. In the fall of 1915 the weather conditions played havoc with the tennis courts and. in addition to this, a lack of interest was shown in tennis, so not very much was accomplished by the boys. The girls, however, did much better in the fall than in the soring. They started a regular tournament, and if the weather had “held out” they would have finished it. The rain, however, prevented rhe«r doinv so. R. W. W.' I I X7 I NELSON MORK REEVES RYAN REDMOND HURD BATU (ELDER ZIEMER LUND WYATT DOUGLAS THE BASEBALL SEASON OF 1915 WHEN the season of 1915 began, almost all the members of the Fast High student body expected East to land in second, or even first place. This feeling of confidence did not create itself, hut came as a result of several advantages, which, we were sure, we possessed. However, things do not always work out as we expect them to. In all games, there is a factor which sometimes enters, called “luck.” Ihe first game was lost to South hv a 3—2 score. The next game we won from North by a 6—1 score, only to lose the next day to West. I he other games were all lost by close scores, except the second North game. What was the reason, you may ask? Coach Batchelder worked, worried, and toiled, but could not get anything hut sleepy replies from the team. I he team fought hard, off and on, hut many on the team had their hearts and their minds occupied with other things, which they evidently considered more important. The student-body acted as most student bodies do at similar times. They were lacking spirit themselves, and therefore could not give the team any. They were what we call “fair-weather friends.” In order to have successful teams, each and every student must burden himself with a fractional part of the responsibility.

Coach ANDERSON HOW WE WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP HE football preparations for the year 1915 began with the first day of school, according to some people’s statements, hut others said that preparations for the season had begun two, or even three, years before. The prospects for a strong team were very bright. Many of the East 1 ligh supporters spoke of a championship, an undefeated team, and so forth. East had not had a championship since 1906: however, there had been years when they were conceded to be the strongest in the race. After the season of 1914, new plans were laid for the next year: therefore when the call for practice was sounded a veteran team was at hand, excepting for one or two places. All went well until two weeks before the first scheduled game. There were several things which entered and, combined with “Dame Fortune”, made the outlook grow dark. In the first place, Walter Pith la do and Rudolph 1 loganson were declared ineligible. The team had hardly recovered from this shock when the Ryan brothers anil Robert Dudley were barred. The last step in our misfortune came one week before the Central game, when Capt. Corriveau fractured a rib. All these changes caused several shifts in the lineup, so that the team which started the season was a rather untried affair. October 8th was the date of the Central game. I litherto East’s power had been unknown, while Central’s power had been seen in the North game. Altho Central’s team was not looked upon as being of a championship caliber, still they were considered as a “never can tell” problem. The East supporters looked towards this game as a means of seeing what Mr. Batchelder and his eleven had as far as a championship was concerned. The game in itself was well played and full of life. Central showed lots of fight, but was not able to pierce the East line or hold against the plunging East backs. I he East eleven showed a great deal of power, but were rather slow in executing their plays. As one football star said: “They were excellent on the defense, but rather slow on the offense.” and for this simple reason the score remained rather low, ending 14—0 in our favor. The next scheduled game came October 29th. I p to this date West had defeated South 54—0 and North .Id—0. They had played one practice game with Dunwoody, winning this by a large score also. East was more or less in the dark. They had only played the Central game, and as Central had lost to North by a 26—0 score, this was not much to bank upon. 1 lowever, there was a feeling thruout the city that when East anil West met there would be a “battle royal.” The game was called at 2: .10. Capt. Corriveau lost the toss and West chose to receive the kick-off on the north goal. West started by sending Rubens at the line, but he was thrown for a loss. Two more attempts proved equally fruitless, and West was forced to punt. East took the ball and by the I V! I CHAMPIONSHIP fEAMOP I'Ko terrific smashes of Reeves, “Torry”, and Redmond, coupled with Wyatt's squirming dodges, the ball was carried over for several first downs, only to be lost. 1'he first half ended with the hall in West's territory but no scores for either side. The next half began hotter than ever. Fast got possession of the ball and then began a slow but steady march toward West's goal-line. The Fast backs gained more and more momentum until there was no stopping them. On the ten yard line, Redmond fumbled, but Corriveau was on the job, anil before anyone was aware of it, he snatched the ball and planted it down behind the goal-line. After this score, West turned white hot, but attempted nothing except forward passes. It is needless to say how successful they were, but it may be stated that with the ball on the two yard line they attempted a line buck, which ended disastrously. Before they could try any more, the game ended 7—0 in Fast’s favor. November 5th was the date of the North—Fast game. This game is usually remembered on account of the poor playing of the Cardinal eleven, but at the same time few stop to remember that this was North's best showing. The reasons for the slump may be summed up as follows: first, the team had not been able to scrimmage and get into first class condition on account of the injuries received by the players in previous games. Second, Fast was prone to be a little over-confident. Third, several times during the game luck stepped in. For instance, when Fast had the ball on North's four yard line with three downs remaining in which to gain the distance, the half ended. Also, Reeves was called back I I 9 � | when he had run 58 yards for a touchdown because a lineman had been offside. Having won from North by a close score, East set about to trim South in a decisive manner, so as not to allow any question as to who were the real champions. South had begun the season in a disastrous way, hut later they had been able to defeat both Central and North. It was also rumored that South’s strength had greatly increased by daily scrimmages with West, and that they would exert every nerve and muscle in order to tie up the championship. The game was called at 2: 30, Friday, November 12th. The lirst half ended 13—7 in East’s favor. East secured their two scores in quick succession by line plunges. I oward the close of the half, Peterson, of South, blocked a punt and was downed on the one foot line. South then managed to gain eighteen inches in three downs. The next half, East began by scoring immediately. South came back and “fooled one over” along the forward pass route. By this time, however. East’s plunges were working in fine shape, while the line broke up everything from line bucks to “aerial” passes. I he game ended 40—13 in East’s favor, and the trophy now reposes serenely in the case in the lower hall. Here’s hoping it’ll stay there for good! George Hendricks. I I 93 I I W I THE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM I HAD been a follower of East High’s football fortunes for several years before I entered that school. I often wondered why East High School could not win a Championship as well as any other high school. After playing two years with fairly successful teams, and, after being a member of the championship team, I feel that I am in a position to explain why this is the first championship won in nine years. In previous years, East had developed foot-ball players who were better than those on many of the other high school teams; and still East had lost its games. There were several reasons for this. East had produced teams with three or four players of exceptional ability on them. The remainder had been inferior players. At other times, the teams hail had poor coaching. And again, they had been up against a better team. When the season of nineteen-fifteen was over, East had won the championship! Why? Because we had the best coach in the city: because we were not up against a better team; and because this team was not made up of a few “star players. The team, as a whole, was well balanced. We had a fast, powerful, offensive back-field, that could not be surpassed by any high school. We had a line which had the ability to solve the opposing team’s plays, and to break them up before they were well started. The team played clean, hard, consistent football every minute of the game; and deserved to win. I am proud to have been the captain of such well coached, clean-cut sportsmen as made up the championship team. James Corrivkal . TORRY I 05 ) REVIEW OF 1915 FOOTBALL SEASON WHEN the 1914 football season, which was rather unsuccessful, closed, there was a general feeling that another season would find East at the top. In the game with North, East seemed to have found a new spirit, and Mr. Webster the following Monday predicted, in “auditorium , that East would be on the roof in another season, since she had found the stairs which led out of the cellar. With twelve “E-men in school, from which to build a team, the prospects seemed very good for fulfilling that prediction. Of the twelve “E-men, Hoganson, Andersch, Pitblado, Ryan, McLaughlin, and Lambert were lost, for various reasons, before the season opened. Dudley. S. Ryan, and a few others, were also barred; but none of that new East fighting spirit was lost. It became more noticeable with each additional bit of bad luck. In spite of these numerous losses, it was possible to build a well-balanced team, which, led by captain Corriveau, won the first football championship East had had since 1906; the team, also, had a clean record of four victories. Six of that championship team will be in school next fall, and that silver trophy is in the case! Believe me, the team that takes that silver football away from us, will know they have met a worthy foe! H. E. Batchki.dek. THE REJUVENATION DAY BALL GAME (As it would have been written in the ‘‘Literary D-g-t. ”) (Apologies, in order, to C7. N. ) The Bingtown Bugle comments edi-torialiy this week on the victory of the Student baseball team over the Faculty aggregation. It says, in part: “The most important contributing factor in this triumph was the failure of the Faculty’s star slugger, Casey Batchelder, to hit the ball at the psychological moment. However, the Mudville “.Morning's Milk contradicts this view and lays the blame on the velocity and direction of the wind that day, which contention is upheld and ably defended by the Squashtown “Evening Meal, the Hogjaw Bend “Bazoo. and the Stonefort “Clarion ; but an entirely different view is held by the Johnson County Bleat and the Hominy Hollow “Palladium.” a view not looked upon dis- favorably by the Apalachicola “Argu and “The Alfalfa Growers’ Gazette. the official organ of the Society for the Suppression of Heaves and Glanders; while, on the other hand, the Bcantown “Cry believes the victory was a fake, as does “T he Weekly Wuff-Wuff, the official organ of the Amalgamated Breeders of Siberian Cheese Hound Pups, the Mount Moriah Morning Whatsit,” and the Joncsville “Morning Dew ; but “The Afternoon Squawk. of South St. Paul, can not agree with this view, nor can the Anoka “Galump. while the Hopkins “News-Times thinks the entire affair has been given too much publicity and doesn’t believe the game was ever played, anyway.

The student members of the council are elected directly by the student body for a term of one year. The faculty members are elected for the same term by the other members of the council, except the president, who is appointed annually by Mr. Webster. Mr. Cook, our president, has held this office continuously since the council started. This year the council has been unusually lively. During the winter, it was given control of the Faculty Play funds. This money has been expended upon athletics, the orchestra, and small improvements about the school, and it has done much to foster school spirit. Many excellent moving pictures have been procured for Auditorium out of this fund. The council also staged a very successful vaudeville show, the proceeds of which went to start a fund for “E” blankets for the football team, and to furnish a girls' rest room. In short, the Students' Council has been livelier this year than ever before, and has benefited East financially, and otherwise, more than any other organization.

This was done at the request of the Students' Council so that athletics would be under a more responsible management. It consists of three faculty-members, a manager, the two coaches, and six student members, the captains and student manager of each of the three major sports, football, baseball, and track. The faculty representatives are appointed by Mr. Webster, the three captains are elected by their respective teams, and the three student managers are elected by the board. This board exists for the more efficient management and control of athletics, and is the chief boosting organization in the school. Also a great deal has been accomplished in standardizing and co-ordinating the different branches of athletics, and in co-operating with the other city schools.

A Dunwoody Club was organized early in the season increasing the number of individual clubs included, at the traditional weekly “Bean Feeds”, to six. For the first time in the history of the clubs, a definite program regarding topics was followed. This was a series of ‘‘life problems” including problems of social and family relationships, of physical temptation, and of seeking a livelihood. In order to take the work and responsibility off the hands of the officers and faculty advisors, an alumnus of each club was pressed into service. East had the good fortune to secure the assistance of Irving Roth, who with his characteristic “pep filled the part to perfection. Another experiment was the holding of monthly school meetings. Once a month the “Feed” was given in the lunch room at East, where the service and accommodations challenged the superiority of efficiency in a certain army. With the use of the library and the able assistance of the Victrola, these meetings were extremely successful and will undoubtedly be continued next season. I I 1021 JOHNSON ESPENETT ROREM BOR ST McGILVRA CZOCK NELSON RINGER GROTHEM EAST HIGH TECHNICAL SOCIETY THE East High Technical Society consists of a number of charged wires, commonly known as “cranks,” who assemble on the second and fourth Fridays of each month to discuss recent inventions, new designs of machinery, or other items of scientific interest. Many interesting lectures have been given by the members on such subjects as “The Tesla Steam Turbine,” “Transformer Design,” “Wireless Telephony,” “Dynamos and Motors.” This year the society gave what is known as a scientific show, at which hair-raising acts were performed; such as, lighting electric bulbs with the human body as a conductor of the electricity, and sending a current of five hundred thousand volts thru a man without electrocuting him. With the proceeds of this entertainment, the society is now constructing a wireless telegraph and telephone station, which will he able to communicate with the government stations bordering the great lakes. Professor Towne of Physics and Professor Cook of Chemistry comprise an advisory board, and are chiefly responsible for making the Technical Society one of our strongest organizations. r 1031 GLEE CLUB THE work of the East High Glee Club for this year has consisted of the one production, “The Chimes of Normandy.” This is the biggest thing of its kind that has ever been attempted at Fast, or at any other high school in the city. We wish to call especial attention to the faithful work of the chorus, a group who, as individuals, seldom receive the credit which they deserve.

East was not slow Co follow their lead. The Orient, as the new paper is called, more than tills the place of its predecessor. It is an all-East publication; the staff, altho composed mainly of juniors and seniors, has representatives from every class. The aim of the paper is to serve the best interests of the school. It is a true expression of the spirit of East High School. It contains not only the school news, but also some of the best of the literary work of the school. In this, it is a stimulus for good work on the part of the student body. Indeed, the Orient, in its brief history of one semester, has proved itself a lasting institution anti a decided success.

This is a new society at F'ast, one which will thrive and give much enjoyment, as well as instruction, to all interested enough in such work to join the club. The club consists at present mainly of upper classmen, but it is hoped that before the term is over, some of the lower classmen will join them so that the club will not die with the ending of the year.

The membership has been steadily increasing and great enthusiasm and interest has been shown in the work. The society adopted a new constitution, and a great share of the year's activity has been devoted to an attempt at mastering parliamentary law. One team, composed of Robert Dudley, Raeburn Powell, and Kenneth Green, was elected to talk on Woman Suffrage. This team spoke in the auditorium and appeared before the Woman's Club of Minneapolis. Another team, Victor Horn, Howard Hall, and Leslie Zeleny, took up the negative side of the suffrage question and contested with a team from Central which proved its excellence by defeating the East team. A team composed of Leonard Keyes, Howard Hall, and Victor Horn debated with North, on the army and navy question, but lost. The society sent this team to Duluth where they won in a debate on the same subject.

Two new violas have been purchased. The other instruments have remained about the same in numbers. The absence of a cello has been felt, but the part was filled in ably by the horn and trombone. Standard waltzes, marches, and an occasional overture have made up the repertoire.

The purpose of the club is to teach those who have not learned this art, and to make the others more proficient in it. Among the members are: Marion Andrews, Clara Berg, Thelma Beal, Blanche Budd, Janice Beyland, Hazel Blossingham, Dorothy Cuken, Carol Eustis, Katharine Gable, Ruth Gillette, Margaret Helan-der, Wyllian Knapp, Josephine Lord, Gladys McHugh, Blanche Martin, Helen Olmstead, Laura Peck, Catharine Riggs, Marguerite Sparrow, Mabel Thorbus, Kathryn Thorbus, Helen Todd, Honora Spencer, Lucile Twist, and Magda Xavier. Contests are held at the Y. W. C. A. between the different classes, and also between the girls of East and Central. These contests consist of relays, diving, and all forms of water sports. We hope that as the girls become interested, they will receive more enjoyment and benefit from this club. It is theirs; it is for them to enjoy.

And I just happened to come in November, the last party of the ’15J4 class. A few games, a little dancing, and a “lot” to eat made up my constitution. “Piles” of good cheer centered round me while Mr. Cook and Miss Lotzc made things merry. Thanks to them. HOW THE '15 Vz CLASS BANQUET WAS MADE First, they took about one hundred newly-made graduates flavored with the spirit of commencement, put them in the St. Anthony Commercial Club, added a taste of roast leg o’ lamb, mashed potatoes, pickles, apple salad, ice cream and cake, stirred them up with a few spicy toasts, such as: Class History, Leslie Zelcny; Reading, Evelyn Goebel; Remarks, Albert Smith; Class Prophecy, Dclphinc Keeler; Remarks, Mr. Webster,—and it was done to a turn. POME Listen, O students, and you shall hear Of one of the biggest events of the year. On the 28th of October, in 1915, A nut party was given by the class of 16. It had been announced that each student might take His “veribest” girl with a few more in their wake. In the auditorium, promptly at eight, Seventy-five assembled, not one of them late. The opening number was hailed with applause, The reading by Kendrick Brooks was the cause. Now as Miss Hayes “reeled” off the story, A “dumb show of Hamlet was given with glory. For though the lights flickered and the sea was not wet, The play went well—there was not a regret. When in the annex they had arrived. They partook of cats, from nuts contrived. Played and danced till eleven struck loud. You know the rest—from the rales of the crowd: How each one reached his home that night, What time each one put out his light. So this is the tale of that party so queer: Twas one of the biggest events of the year.

The gurrls came drist like the colcens of the auld counthry, and they were the prettiest lot I've been seein' since 1 left the auld sod. The byes were all befixed and beruffled, too. And, bejabbers, if Ray Barnes wasn’t there in a green driss suit, and Ferrin Ellsworth wearin’ a green shirt. Progressive dancin’, which was rally talkin’, was enjoyed by all, especially the gurrls, who were so bold as to be allowed to ask the byes for a “dance.’’ Stunts were pulled off sich as 1 niver was seein’ before nor since. Mr. Ulrey, Mr. Spohn, and Albert Ziemer got the prizes. Thin shadow pictures were given, an’ shure poor Mister Ulrey was beoprated in a stoile fit to kill any ordinary mortal. Thin the lads bought the lassies’ shadows at exorbitant prices, rangin’ from wan to fifteen cents for three (since byes were scarce). The lunch was too good to be true, consistin' of salad, sandwiches, ice cream and cake, and pink liminadc. Then Jake Czock took some pictures and the party broke up at a quarter past 'liven. Yis, Mr. Webster was there, so none of thim blamed rules was broken. —Orient. ’16y2 PARTIES Dear Helen, Last night we had our first class party of this year.

All reason for such opposition was dispelled by this surprising performance. There was just as much fun and interest in it as will he found in any modern play which could he performed here; and, added to it, the poetry and beauty of Shakespeare made it surpass anything that has been presented at East in the past. The acting was nol amateurish. Every one in the cast was imbued with the true spirit of the comedy and showed no sign of the traditional “stage fright.” The 1916 class has set a record in dramatics which should be followed by other classes, and looked up to as an activity worthy of the approval of an educational institution such as we represent. “TWELFTH NIGHT” Duke of Illyria.......

The comedy itself is so full of real music and good lines that it is worth any amount of time spent in preparation, and when to this is added such support as was given Friday night by principals, chorus, and orchestra, a successful production must certainly be assured. The entire cast gave good interpretations of the various parts, entering into the spirit of the music. Gaspard, the miser, was given such a convincing interpretation b Herbert Elwcll that only through his voice was he recognized. The scene in which he excelled was, of course, that laid in the haunted castle. Helen Todd as Serpolette showed an absolute lack of self-consciousness that made her village mischief-maker very realistic. The first scene set a high standard for the acts to follow. The audience was glad to hear the manly tones of Perr Richardson, who certainly has demonstrated to our satisfaction that he is fitted to be cither a hero or a heroine. He, as Henri, and Marion Wertz as Germaine, in their songs both alone and together did splendid work; Barnes scored another notable success as comedian, especially in the later scenes of the play. Three village maidens also interpreted their parts well, while Clifford Bender made a great hit as the notary. But perhaps one of the greatest surprises of the evening was the chorus. There was none of the stiffness usually characteristic of a chorus in an amateur performance. Full of grace and spirit, the “lads and lassies” entered each scene with just the right amount of enthusiasm displayed in gesture, song, and dance. To the orchestra also belongs a large part of the credit for the success of the evening. The slightest signal of the baton found the members responsive so that it was difficult to realize that there was no professional orchestra with the training of years behind them. Every part of the production showed the result of hard work and splendid training. —1 he Orient.

East 1 ligh School was established by Charles M. Jordan in the Spring of 1884, with himself as principal. I he third Hoor of the Winthrop building, which was utilized, was inadequately lighted with high dormer windows, almost impossible to reach. Since only the first year of high school work was taught there, the classes graduated from the old Central. In 1885, under Mr. Sheppard as the principal, the course was expanded to two years. At this time many pupils entered the University without receiving their diplomas, as the college work was more elementary. East then had a corps of three teachers: Miss Roe, who had charge of the room which seated both the eighth grade and high school students; Miss Mary Kerr, now at South High; and Miss Uberhorst, a Yassar graduate. Every morning, a few minutes were devoted to religious exercises and to singing, customs which were dispensed with, as the number of pupils grew larger. In 1885, George B. Aiton, an able and experienced instructor, became the principal. Under his direction, East developed rapidly in the new quarters of, what is now, the I Iolmes school. The science department was especially benefited by the change, gaining a laboratory, and more suitable apparatus. In spite of these advantages, and the added light anil room, one need was felt: there was no convenient place for a large assembly as the upper hall, sometimes used for this purpose, would not seat the entire school. At the close of the school year of 1893 Mr. Aiton left, having been appointed State Inspector of I ligh Schools, which position he held until recently. In September, 1893, William F. Webster, at the urgent request of Superintendent Jordan, gave up his position in the Moorhead Normal and came to East. lie has been with us ever since, save in 1900, when a leave of absence gave opportunity for a trip to Europe. During his absence, C. F'.. Cloyd was principal. That year, too, the class of 1900 graduated, with a very high average, giving I ast High’s first class play, “She Stoops to Conquer.” This comedy, coached by Mrs. Frances Squires Potter, then a teacher at East, was presented at Century Hall. Miss Bessie Scripture, our librarian, and a member of that class, was cast in the leading role of “Kate I lardcastle. These graduates left as their memorial the statue of Minerva. Upon Mr. Webster's return the following autumn, the school moved to its present quarters, which replaced the old graystone structure, known as the Winthrop School. The new building, seating about nine hundred pupils, was two stories high, and boasted a small auditorium. From time to time, the school has been enlarged to accommodate the increased enroll- i 124 I mcnt. Many advantages have been added as the registration has become greater. An interesting change has taken place in the popularity of the various courses. Where formerly the Latin and Literary courses were most in demand, now, the Commercial, Home Economics, and Manual Training courses claim the greatest share of the pupils. One is inclined to believe, because of the present agitation over vocational education, that the Manual Training course is a comparatively new departure. However, in the early years of the institution, manual training was included in the curriculum. The Home Economics department was installed in the fall of 1912, and the great demand for this training testifies to its practicability. Bookkeeping, formerly compulsory, has been dropped from nearly all the courses. Some few changes have been made in the actual routine of school life. The giving of averages each month was altered to the present marking system by Mr. Webster, who announced its success in his annual report for 1899. In 1912, the school day was lengthened to seven periods, which necessitated the addition of a lunch room. When only fifteen minutes were allowed for recess, the sandwich men, who carried their wares to the school-house on trays, were nearly mobbed. There may have been more spending money then, as the Board of Education furnished the text books. Until 1901, when the first January class of East graduated, all credits had to be gained in three and one-half or four and -one-half years. The character of high school society has also altered greatly. As there were no accommodations for parties in the first two buildings, all dances were given either in the old 1 lolmes Hotel, near the present site of the Lyric, or in Wilson's Hall. Altho girls wore their hair hanging, and dressed simply, carriages were the proper thing for all entertainments. At that time social events were allowed on school nights, but Mr. Webster, with great wisdom, soon limited them to Friday and Saturday evenings. East has been fortunate in having faithful teachers who have aided its growth. Mr. Cook, ’97, Miss Cockburn, '03, Miss Scripture, '00, Mr. Cady, '10, and Miss Donaldson, '95, tell great tales of the days when they went to school to Miss Shillock, Miss Jeter, and Miss Strohmeier. We have heard rumors of a class that distributed asafetida thru the plumbing system; of certain staid seniors who “cut” vacant periods by way of the window; and of a Cardinal Board that disturbed the school with a “rough-house.” We reveal only glimpses of past scandals, hoping that the Alumni will welcome us to their ranks, feeling that the best traditions of Alma Mater have been preserved during our sojourn at East.

I 125 ] THE LITERARY CONTEST IT is the hope of the 1916 Cardinal Board that this literary contesl I may become an annual affair; the final decision, of course, rests with the whole school. In planning for this contest, it at once became evident that, were the freshmen or sophomores to be forced to compete with the seniors or juniors, the contest would be neither fair nor just. The contest was, accordingly, broken up into four separate contests. The contestants were given complete liberty, in that they were neither forced to confine themselves to one form of writing nor to one subject. The Board wishes to thank the teachers for the splendid manner in which they co-operated with us in making this contest a success. RESULTS OF THE CONTEST SENIORS Essays 1st. A Football Hero’s Head.

[ 127 ] DISSECTION OF A FOOTBALL HERO’S HEAD SENIOR ESSAY LJAVING always had a mind to see the inside workings of a football hero's head, anil being invited by my friend, “Doc Batch ”, the chemist, to witness the dissection of one, I naturally took advantage of the invitation. Our dissector, before he engaged in this visionary dissection, told us that there was nothing in his art more difficult than to lay open the head of the football man, by reason of the great swellings as well as hard knocks which are to be found, and which appear to the best advantage in this particular species of savage. Our operator informed us that on a previous occasion, he had made this same dissection, which he found should always be done just before a big game, for this was the time at which its development was most remarkable. He also communicated to us that on that same previous occasion, his original purpose had been to dissect the hero’s heart. But upon opening up his vital parts, he had found that where there should have been a heart, there was no heart at all. However, upon further examination of the hero, he found his heart to be located in the innermost recesses of his mouth. Now this very same thing was that which we noticed on this occasion. Having observed the heart minutely, we determined it to be made of a very airy substance, capable of affecting a person with an absolutely “gone” feeling. One thing we thought noticeable; namely, that upon examining numerous small fibres, we discovered that they led to the knees and were tied up in kinds of knots, showing that they must have operated at rather irregular intervals with a sort of jerking motion. We were now shown the remainder of the head. In it, we discerned a sort of cubbyhole, in which were found all kinds of members which seemed to be rather mixed. Here, we were informed by our chemist, that, upon removing these and putting them in a case upon a field in a football game, amidst the veiling and cheering, these very same signals had straightened up and out and had assumed a very lively attitude. 1 laving heard this explanation, we came now to other receptacles and furnishings of the head. We found that, when we talked aloud, the head seemed to brighten; it we shouted, it grew still brighter; but upon our lowering our voices to a whisper, it immediately grew dark. T his we accounted for as being the result of school yells and school spirit. There is one thing we almost overlooked, so small and so secluded it seemed. This we found to be books of Latin, History, Mathematics, and Classics. They were under cover as if they had been rather distaste- [ 128 i ful to the other compartments in the head, hut yet, were a hardship that had to be borne. We now resolved to make an experiment with the heart, desiring to know just what this peculiar piece of anatomy, in this peculiar savage, could stand. Accordingly, we laid it on the ground, stepped on it, sat on it, hammered it, till we observed in it a certain indestructible and invincible quality. As we were admiring this strange phenomenon, “Doc Batch” spoke in a rather loud, commanding tone, whereupon it shriveled up and bent over. So profound had been our interest that, upon the expiration of our study, I simply woke up. Wyllian Knapp. AN ALLEGORY OF SCHOOL LIFE SENIOR STORY NOT many months ago a certain professor of my acquaintance died, and it was my duty as his friend, and I may say his confidant, to sort his papers. This was no slight task, as I believe he considered it a sin to destroy a single scrap. There were many different books and pamphlets as well as memoranda and writings of all sorts. Carefully preserved at the bottom of a large chest, I found a manuscript so yellow and faded, I could scarcely read it. I looked it over carefully, and thinking it might be of interest to the public, determined to publish it. It was the alleged record of an experience of one, Eli Samson. Here it is in substance: “On the fifth day of the moon, after I had spent some time in scientific study, according to the custom of my fathers, I was walking thoughtfully along the Mississippi, behind the Minnesota University, deep in the contemplation of the vastness of knowledge and the small amount that I had acquired. My thoughts must have been so absorbing that I did not hear my name until it was repeated once or twice. I looked up and saw approaching not more than a few paces away, a little old man whose name was Wisdom. From his dress, which was like that of the ancient Greeks, I judged him to be several hundred years old. He directed my attention westward, where, instead of the broad river, I seemed to see a valley covered with luxuriant vegetation. “And what do you see in the valley?” he inquired. “A great number of boys and girls making a toilsome way along a difficult road.” “Look closer,” he then commanded me, “and notice their manner of progress.” I obeyed, and saw them making their way forward. Some were looking at the stars, and consequently tripping on the rocks at their feet. Others were plodding steadily forward and these, I noticed, were apt to reach their journey’s end before their comrades. Some were riding ponies, and so not gaining any strength from their journey. There were I 129 I those who ran forward easily and quickly, and those who exerted every energy but progressed slowly. Every once in a while, one or two would lose footing, stumble, and plunge headlong down the cliff to the sand below. In fact, there were as many different ways of going forward in that valley as there are people in the world. “And what does it all mean? I finally asked. My companion answered slowly and thoughtfully. “They are hoys and girls making their way through school. ou see the one who has only a pretended knowledge of the classics, the industrious worker, the brilliant student. Those who fall down the cliff have failed, and must sec their companions pass them by. “And what does it all mean? I asked. “Will you not explain the mystery? “It is school life, he answered. “Can you not see the significance? Than I raised my eyes and looked farther. I saw a gate through which many happy boys and girls were passing, having braved the black anil sullen Hood of examinations. The path beyond led through many a fertile field as far as the eye could see. “But what, I asked, “is the destiny of those who are swallowed up in the flood? I can not see whither it carries them. His only answer was a melancholy sigh. W hen I looked toward the spot where my old companion had stood, I found it was vacant. I tried again to pierce the darkness, but the vision faded and I was left alone. Grach Van Chunk.

BURNING MIDNIGHT OIL JUNIOR ESSAY DO you know what the term “Burning Midnight Oil” refers to? Maybe, and maybe not. You may read the following, and then take your choice as to the connotation. Please sit up and look natural, and I'll turn my “wolf loose on you. Now possibly “Burning Midnight Oil refers to the oil, or gas, for that matter, that is cremated by some ambitious student while he struggles to concentrate his errabund intellect upon infrangible Euclid, in an effort to attain a state of erudition. I say, possibly. Another student, his wick turned high, might he perusing the pages of Robert W. Chamber's latest novel, during the witching hours. This suggestion sounds reasonable. Or this “Burning Midnight Oil stunt has been known to be executed by means of a “Hiver , traveling over the country road at the modest rate of—say seventy-live per, the gasoline tank becoming more vacuous each moment. Perchance another student—1 admit of partiality—while oiling that gigantic piece of mechanism known as the brain, might accidentally set something afire by a spark of wit. It is not past belief that a certain scholar, after having written a lengthy masterpiece upon the interesting subject of “The Erythrophloe-um , would notice a pain in the abused muscles of his “write” arm. When he applies Omega Oil to relieve the pain, is it probable that the oil would be lighted by the contact with the “enHamed parts? If that is over your head, try this one. They have parties at one hour past 1 1 P. M., don't they? Yes, and they generally have something to eat, don’t they? And they often have salad, don't they? Yes, and salad often has olive oil for dressing, doesn’t it? Well, now, a, this olive oil could be ignited by the lightning from somebody's eyes, you know. Excuse me. I think I had better desist. Malkkk St’MKRTON. AMICI JUNIOR STORY TO a mere traveller, unversed in all the ins and outs of a military campaign, the methodical and rhythmic preparations for war that were being made that hot August day in Brussels were of little interest. I had just one plan, one desire, and that was to put as many miles of the Atlantic between Belgium and me as possible, and get back to sane New York. But to General Enders and young Edwin Ware, his companion and subordinate, every passing truck of death-bearing ammuni- r i3i i tion, every squadron of well trained soldiers, every riHe, every group of self-possessed cavalry, had a great deal of interest. They were not leaving—they would stay and engineer the struggle that King Albert would carry on with the oncoming Germans. General Enders was of the Engineering Corps, and young Ware was his friend and crony. David and Jonathan were typified by these two—the one old enough to he the other’s father, who had learned all he knew from the hard school of experience: the other was just out of college—an expert, theoretically—and as self-assured and self-confident as any young man. In the chess club, where we had met to settle a match between the two chums, and to shake off, if possible, this suspense, we were waiting for something—what, we all knew, and dared not say. Enders, or the “General,” as we called him in deference to his title and age, was heating young Ware, as usual. Ware was getting rash and excited, and had lost his king’s bishop and a knight, when a messenger came in, paging the General. We could see that the message was official, and so we were prepared for the worst, but not for what the missive said. The bridges across the Meuse—those bridges that had cost the government such a vast amount of money—must be destroyed, for in a few hours the Germans would be using them to march victorious into staunch little Belgium. The General read on a little further, threw down the paper and called to Ware and raced out. They were going to obey orders, and destroy the bridges across the Meuse. I was alone again, and the heavy cloak of suspense became unbearable. Then my eyes lit upon the letter that had caused me to be deserted. Somehow, 1 felt a vague resentment against the order. And then I thought clearly—the General had left the letter unfinished—there might be some important instructions, some vital detail on that last page. I must overtake the General and Ware and give them this letter. I raced to the nearest garage and ordered a fast car. Jumping in, I urged the driver to his utmost speed. “Where to?” he asked. “The lower road eastward toward the Meuse,” I panted. I knew they would take the lower road for it was much shorter. The car was a good one, and the driver was good, too, I believe; yet it seemed that I hail never crawled so slowly. The message, tightly clasped in my hand, was becoming crumpled and a little torn. I smoothed it out nervously, and tore a piece off the envelope. I put it back idly, and started. Under that bit of paper was a single word. Ware. Ware? What did he have to do with the blowing up of the bridges? The instructions would have only two names mentioned in them—the one who was to engineer the destruction, and the one who would touch off the fuse. I le would he blown to atoms by the explosion. I sat up suddenly. Ware! Could it be? The joyful, hopeful, self-confident boy, just out of college, I I 1321 with all his dreams of success? The very personification of life and progress, to be destroyed? Horrible! But after all, was it my business? The Government had ordered it, and I must deliver the message. Then, what of orders? The General loved Edwin Ware as a son. He was an old bachelor, and had lived his life. Why couldn’t it have been he? On the other hand, he was an expert, an engineer of great ability and brains. There was a speck of dust in the distance. A moment later, it had grown into an automobile broken down in the road. In it sat Enders, heated and excited, and young Ware. They hailed me joyfully, and requisitioned the car. “General Enders,” I said, “You left your orders at the club and forgot to finish them. Here they are.” The General looked blank for a moment, and then, to my surprise, turned an angry red. He took the orders, tore them to shreds, and said, “1 finished them, sir. If you Yankees would tend to your own business as well as you do someone else’s, you would he a lot better off.” This so astonished me that I was unable to answer, and by the time 1 could, the General and Ware had climbed into my machine, hitched the broken car with its load of explosives on behind, and had ordered the chauffeur to hurry on toward the Meuse. I was still so angry when we reached the next town that I left the automobile and took the next train back to Brussels. About half-way there, I suddenly thought of the message I had brought him. If he had read that message, if he had seen that order concerning Edwin Ware, his best friend, he would naturally shrink from any reference to what he must do. Of course, I shrank from it myself. I he next day there was a half-page, ten point type, scare head article about the destruction of the bridges. I had read it casually, and gaped and gasped and re-read the last paragraph. It ran something like this: “Lieutenant Ware was instructed, in the orders from headquarters, to explode the charge, but thru some misunderstanding, General Enders exploded the charge that destroyed the bridges and was killed. The funeral will take place today.” Winchell Stacy.

The shabby, brown skirt hung unevenly, one side dragging in the dust of the street. An old gray scarf was snugly wrapped about her head, and she wore a tight jacket, that threatened to burst every time she moved. Pushing an old, dilapidated baby-carriage with an empty clothes basket perched on the scat, she hurried along beside the curbing. Her uncovered hands were blue with the cold. Suddenly, she stopped, and stooping, quickly picked up a block that had fallen from a wood-cart. Then I noticed her basket was half full of wood, which she had gathered on her homeward journey. As I neared her, she gave me a pleasant look from her bright, blue eyes, making me almost forget she was an aged woman of seventy. But then she had a great deal to be thankful for. Was she not going home with enough wood to last until the next day, and a shiny half-dollar tied tightly in one corner of her handkerchief? Besides, was she not self-supporting and independent? Hazf.l Rarick. THE LAST DAY IN A COUNTRY SCHOOL SOPHOMORE STORY TV HEN I was twelve, my parents took a homestead; consequently ™ the last two years in the grades, I went to school in an unplastered, one-room building that was set on a hill in the midst of a sage brush prairie. It was a frame structure finished on the inside with Hr ceiling that shrunk, and warped, ami exuded resin in large amber beads. The room was heated by a stove that had lost two legs and was unable to cope with the cold wind that came up thru the floor and crept in around every window. But, in spite of the elements, we pupils always had a good time during recess, playing games that varied from “Old Cat to baseball without basemen. The most vivid picture I have, is of the last day I spent there. Studies were almost entirely put aside, and the time was spent in preparing a program for the last day, which is generally made a holiday in country communities. The morning of the last day, the pupils came dressed in their best clothes. The older boys wore celluloid collars and ties of varied hues; the smaller ones, sailor collars and white waists. Each boy had on a pair of new, stiff shoes that were intended for the field. There was not one that did not have his ears and neck well protected from the sun by an abundance of hair. The girls wore stiffly starched, white dresses with l 135 i ♦ wide ribbon sashes. They had their hair drawn back from their faces and twisted into tight coils, or hanging in braids. About noon the parents began to arrive, a family at a time, like sandhill cranes coming to a gathering in the fall. I heir conveyances were varied. There were wagons that heralded their coming by creaking and banging as they were drawn along by wiry, evil-eyed bronchos. I hen there were neat spring wagons, and one prosperous family came in a top buggy. Everyone had a basket of provisions, and soon a table, made of boards, laid across the backs of seats, was loaded with a meal equal to the one that Ichabod ate at Herr Van Tassel’s. There was a deal of merriment, mostly led by a large, florid Englishman. At his side was his newly acquired correspondence-bureau wife. She was slight and fair. Her eyes were decidedly crossed, but that made no difference as she did not mix the suger and salt. Across the table sat a silent little Frenchman and his wife. They were typical French peasants and might have served as models for “The Angelus.” Near the foot of the table sat a large German steadily consuming a liberal portion of everything that was passed to him. 11 is cattle had grazed the flat unhampered by fences, three years before. The settlers now held the choicest of it. And he wasn’t always very pleasant, but, of course, he had been invited as his children were to take part in the program. His wife was making herself prominent as a waitress, doing her best to see that everyone got indigestion. Then there was Jack Spratt, a redheaded Irishman, who kept the conversation and pie moving. Mrs. Spratt was easily Jack's double in size, weighing a little over three hundred pounds. When Jack didn't have something to say, she did. and often they were both talking at once. Besides these there were a family of Danes, a New England family, and two Russian families. The first thing on the program after dinner was a song by the school. All the pupils were lined up in a double row across the front of the room. They were arranged according to size with the larger ones in the center. In the center of the back row were two large boys, both over six feet tall. They were strong rivals in everything, but to-day they could not be heard at all. After each pupil had given his recitation and the final song had been sung, the gathering broke up and each family departed for its respective home. As I left the schoolhouse, I had an indescribable feeling of loneliness as I thought of leaving my friends and familiar surroundings to make new acquaintances and meet new experiences in the world. Fred Kelly. I I 136 J FRESHMAN CONTEST DOWN BY THE STREAM FRESHMAN POEM DOU'S by the stream that silently Flows past the guarding trees I stroll, and create in fancy Scenes by the roaring seas. I hear the wind’s soft murmur In secret to sun flecked leaves, Or waves uploss the boats As a farmer harvests sheaves. The stillness oppresses my soul— So rush, nor stress, nor strife— That I long for the strenuous world, With its labor, its progress, its life. Lillian Shf.rwood. THE EVOLUTION OF THE DRAMA FRESHMAN ESSAY BOOK reviews used to be an awful bore! But, thank goodness, the method in which we give them has been changed, so that now I look forward with eagerness to the day we will give our reviews. We have discovered, invented or contrived, a very interesting way to give them. We used to have to ponder long and hard, trying to condense plots. Now we choose the most interesting passages and dramatize them. Fun! Well I should say so. Two whole days spent in selecting scenes and assigning parts, and no work to do. There is the joy of being given the leading part, but when one is the leader or director, one must give the main parts to other children, much to one’s disappointment. When the eventful day comes, there is the excitement of seeing whether everybody knows his part. There has to he a great deal of explaining on the part of the leader, which usually goes in one ear and out the other of the one to whom it is directed. A scene is taken from each book respectively. There is the awful tenseness of waiting till our turn comes. Every scene that is given seems better than those we have chosen. In my first dramatization of this kind, I had a dreadful feeling. When my turn finally came, I went up on the platform trembling and so excited that my knees knocked together and my I I 1 heart was pounding away just as hard as it could. All the preparation of two days was used up in two minutes' time. When I reached my seat, I felt as little as a peanut. Even tho I have this feeling, I recover and discover what the dramatizing has done for me. I have become much better acquainted with the characters, and I have become able to visualize the different scenes. We are, of course, required to give our parts in the best language possible and with a great deal of expression anil to act them so to keep the attention of the audience all the time. All this improves my elocution and public speaking. It is hard to speak loud enough to be heard all over the auditorium at first. If five books are dramatized every term, one ought to be able to speak very well at the close of one's senior year. C.V1HERINK COFFMAN.

I I.W I “ WEBBY” AMONG my most cherished memories of the many happy hours spent at Fast High, there always appears one figure. It is that of a man, short in stature, and square of jaw. Beneath a noble brow twinkle two piercing, animated eyes, over which dark eyebrows arch quizzically. The mouth is strong and firm-set, though not severe. The countenance is alert and dignified, yet a gentle Bicker of humor plays about the corners of the keen eyes and the determined mouth. The figure, as you have probably already guessed, is that of Mr. Webster, or rather “Webby,” as we love to call him. Now he speaks, and the voice is deep, clear, and resonant—that of a man of character and convictions. The words flow on and 1 listen, forgetful of time and place, but delighted with the beauty of the tones and the noble ideas which they convey. He is a man of learning, a thinker, and somewhat of a philosopher, having viewed the world and seen life in its many aspects. He has forged his way through the world, but does not flaunt his deeds or accomplishments. Liberal, broad-minded, and open to all righteous appeals, he is warmly sympathetic and always willing to aid. As he is a steady and efficient worker, he has no patience with the lazy or shiftless. Hard, honest labor, clean living, and faith in fellow-man are his watchwords. These things he believes in, and these things he carries out in his own life. How fortunate we have been in having such a man as leader. What a fine school he has made Fast, in his many years of faithful service. What a splendid feeling of co-operation and friendship is that which he has built up between faculty and student-body at Fast High School. This world would be a better place to live in, were there more men like you, “Webby.” We would have a better body of citizens and higher, better ideals of living. Long life to you, “Webby,” and may your influence and success grow with each new year! Wm. Kirchxer. f NO] I HI 1 A LETTER TO FRIEND HARVEY East High, U. S. A. June ?. 1916.

MODERN METHODS If you have never heard this tale, I’ll tell it now to you. ’Tis how a man like Wallingford Went out the world to do. He hunted high, he hunted low, More money tried to get, Until he found it was no use, No matter how he bet. Then he decided, finally, He’d live upon his wit. So one bright morning to the woods He went to think a bit. Beside him stood a mighty oak, Full sturdy in its pride, He thought and thought and thought again, Then sat down by its side. It seems a crime to me,” he said, Such woodlands to let rot, When for a person such as I. They’d earn an awful lot.” Then up he jumped, his breath came short, “I’ve found it now,” he cried; “I sec a million in my grasp Before I’ve even tried. I He hurried home, obtained an axe, And soon had felled the tree. He started then to advertise, A full-fledged crook was he. A simple sheet he soon prepared And sent it through the mail. And everywhere it reached the goal ’Twas greeted with a hail. “'Fen thousand bugs killed with one dose, That’s how the paper read, Be sure and send ten cents to me Before you go to bed.” The cash arrived, a mighty hoard. And he sent in return Two small wood blocks, all smooth and clean, It’s all ten cents could earn. Instructions were also inclosed. Quite simple, plain, and true: Just place the bug upon one block, ’Tis all you have to do. Then quickly press the other block Down firmly with a will, For when the bug is in between. It’s guaranteed to kill. Lester Knapp. I N5 ) MY CAESAR (iVith Apologies to R. L. S.) 1 have a little Caesar that goes in and out with me, And what can he the use of him is more than 1 can see.
