Since the last Ahdawagam went to press, many things have hap- pened. Then we were at peace here in our little colony of Lincoln High. Now many of those boys who should be members of this elass have taken their stand and are soldiers for the Big Cause. Needless to say. we miss them. We have done our best under adverse conditions. We have striven diligently to make Lincoln High School stand for power, and we feel that we have not labored in vain. To our readers, we wish to say that our cover is to represent our class with its seventy- five stars. It is not easy to bscome a Star . You who have been here before us under- stand the problems we have had to meet; you know the rehearsals we had to attend; you also know the feeling, the proud worthy feeling you had when you took your place among the stars'. We realize that our work is not finished; the life of a star is a busy one. we have much twinkling to do. and with the great good we have received here we will do our best to make our class flag a shining one.

SCHWEDE A we labor in getting out our army directory, the overwhelming thought comes to us that we are to lose our commandcr-in-chief. Mr. Schwedc. Before he leaves us, we wish to let him know what he has meant to us. Never has he been too busy to listen to our troubles; never has he failed to give us the counsel and ad- vice necessary for the making of good soldiers. His patience has been a constant remin- der to us when we wanted to rush blindly into the fray; his interest in us as individuals has made us willing to dare anything for his sake. We realize our loss. Our parting wish to you our commander-in-chief is this: May you know that the love, respect and admiration of the class of nineteen hundred and eighteen and all our fellow classes is yours; may you have success and prosperity in all your undertakings; and may you know that the patience and spirit you have given to us here in Lincoln High School is making us bigger and better soldiers for all of life's battles. I D i n 0)ur (ftrncral MR. KELL Every army ia not ao unfortunate aa we are. Uaually. when the commander-in-chief leavea. the general � • there to take his place. This year we are unfortunate in losing not only our chief but our general as well. And such a general! We have been directly under his supervision in our main camp; we have followed willingly his gentle commands. He mustered us in as raw recruits and we are leaving as experienced soldiers. True, we have many tactics still to learn. Aa our bugle sounds retreat, we wish to speak to our beloved general. For you Gen- eral Kell we are wishing much joy in your further manoeuvres. We know that wherever you may be that you will inspire your fellow soldiers as you have us. We want you al- ways to feel that you have a place here in the ranks of the Lincoln High School. A {Tribute Whenever we meet as a body for work or for pleasure, our thoughts wander to those of our number who have joined that vast army of America’s chosen. We are not able to express in words the real feeling we have for these boys. There are times when the Eng- lish language seems inadequate to meet the need for expression. This is one of those times. Wherever they are. our love is with them; they are a part of our living spirit, and to us they symbolize all that is noble. We do not wish them back, for they would not bear us out in so wishing, but we do wish all the best that God has in store for those who are fight- ing to make this world one of peace and brotherly love. And so. we propose as our toast. 'May you always feel our earnest wishes for your happiness; may you always know that our love is near you; may you ever realize that the spirit of Lincoln High School is following you dear classmates of ours and may you all return to receive the glory which is yours and which you have brought to us—the class of nineteen hundred and eighteen.

History of the Senior Class By Bertha Weisberg '18 and Evelyn Chapman '18 N the fall of 1914. over one hundred of us entered High School as Freshmen, not as greenhorns, however, because we had profited by our experience in the eighth grade. The first thing of great importance was the chosing of class officers. Paul Arpin received the majority of votes for president Roy Normington for vice-president. Stuart Karseboom for secretary, and Frank Reiland for treasurer. These officers, like all of our officers since then, proved themselves worthy of their offices. One day we had a class meeting and were made happy by the announcement of a Freshman class party to which we were to invite our parents. I he party was given February 6th. after a basketball game between the Freshmen B. A The party was a great success in spiteof the ample chaperon age and it s a question as to whether we Freshies or the chaperons enjoyed themselves most. i i r f| � d a R°°d representation in the athletic field: in fact. Coach Brown made us feel quite proud by telling us that we had a very promising bunch of athletes. Crauncy Millenbah and Aynard Soley both did commendable work on the football team. The only time our silver cloud turned inside put was at the death of our star athlete and dear classmate. Chauncey Millenbah The Wisconsin river claimed Chauncev's life, but his memory will alwavs live with the class of 18. Our boys won second place in the class tournament, only losing first place by letting the Seniors beat them in the final game Who says now that rreshmen don t respect the Seniors The second semester we bought a picture for Miss GaskeU'a room, now Miss Rost’s as a little memento from the hreshics. After a very pleasant vacation we came back to take possession of the Sophomore seats. We were immediately nick named conceited Sophs Our Sophomore party was even a greater success than our Freshman party had been. It was also given after a basket ball game. Shortly after, the Domestic Science girls entertained the facultv at a sleighing party and Myrtle Graham with her usual generosity took them to her home on the farm and satuhed their appetites. This year our boys again won second place in the class tournament, stepping down only in favor of the Seniors. February 2 th wai a red letter day for the whole school. All day the different classes were busy putting up booths, one class trying to outdo the other In the evening we became competitors of the Lowney Candy Company in the sale of home made candy. Our booth was decorated in orange and black, our class colors, and everybody raid our booth was the prettiest. We sold every piece of candy we possessed, even the crumbs, before the game began. After an interesting game doubly so. because we had won. we adjourned to the music room where we celebrated in a party and dance i a W i °P on,orc R,rj who had formed a Hiking Club.were overcome by Spring fever one beautiful afternoon.and hiked to Nekoosa on French ftv.e , ; hey were tried by a Court Marshal the next day. and sentenced to the detention room prison) every day after school until thev had made up double the time they had lost, and the Hiking Club came to a grand firale. Our Sophomore year was perhaps the happiest year of all. but we looked forward anxiously to our Junior year. It came by leaps and bounds and before we realized it. we were Juniors. We could feel the difference in the attitude of the Seniors almost from the • . , y, , nd ,we cVn? ,0 7 5 conclusion that they were beginning to respect their successors. But perhaps it was only due to the fact that most of the girls had lengthened their skirts and discarded their hair ribbons, and the boys had donned long trousers. This year some of our boys made the regular basket ball and football teams. The basket ball team only won third place in the tournament at Ap- pleton. but this by no means made us lose our faith in the boys. The Junior Class play. The Bloasoming of Mary Ann. was a raving success. The initiation of the Junior girls into the Owl Literary Society was indeed humiliating. We caused a sensation and created immense amusement one afternoon by coming to school with our hair in pigtails a braid for each year our shoes on the wrong foot Ouch' and our persons bedecked with the Senior class colors. After a still harder and more humiliating initiation in the music room, we became full fledged Owls. We resolved however that such initiations were going to end with the class of 1917. and if you think we haven't kept our word, ask the Juniors. The masquerade given by the Owls, partly made up for our initiation, and we had a very good time in spite of the fact that some Fresh boys ran on with most of our ice cream. I forgot to mention that Lawrence Jones and Edward Ehlert represented us on the debating team. All play and no work make� Jack a dull boy. and the Juniors stood by this maxim by working ambitiously. , . Y' -r’ou� hf rt5- yet ? r- «.P ! into row We were Seniors, so of course we had to'set an example for the younger students and 1 think we bore this in mind throughout the year. 1281 The officer we elected to represent our d«u were: Ceorge Yeske. prendent; Olga Bissig. vice-president; Norfcert Daly, treasurer. Neva Leach, secretary. we took part in all the school activities, but as we were always noted for our athletes, of course that is where we shone. In football we were well represented, and our boys played some good games. In basket ball, however, we were more successful. All the member of the regular team were Seniors with the exception of one. and our boys bringing home the State Championship Trophy from Appleton, proved Coach Brown's prophecy. and made us all proud to belong to the class of '18. The Junion liked to remind us that they are almost as big as we are. but we showed them we were still their Seniors, when we won in the ticket selling contest, which took place the first part of the year. The losers of the contest were to give a party to the winner , and the poor Juniors were quite downhearted. Other interesting events of the year were the chosing of the Senior class play cast, the name of which is Nathan Hale. and the awarding of honors which were given to Hazel Batty. Elmer Boles. Marina Eichstead. and Ella (Vouchee. The Debaters this year were nearly all Seniors, and their work deserve credit. As we say goodbye to dear old Lincoln High, we hesitate a moment to thank the teachers and friends who have prepared us for service.” now and in the future. 1291 Class Prophecy By Olga A. Bissig '18 SLUMBER, please.” Palm Groves. 1027. Hello.'' Hello. Mildred?” Yes. I was waiting for your call and thought you had for- Im gotten about it. said Mildred. I am a trifle late. but. you see. while I was shopping. I met someone whose appearance greatly sur- prised me. Who was it ” asked Mildred, very much interested. Someone from the class of 1918. Please tell me who it was. begged Mildred. Not now. Milly. Wait until 1 see you. I think I can be ready at 2:30. AH right. Don't be late. I won’t. Goodbye. Goodbye. Mildred hung up the receiver and sank into the nearest chair. She was puzzled, beyond doubt, and tried to think up the names of all her old classmates in Lincoln High School. She sat pondering until the clock struck two. Then, with a start, she roused herself and proceeded to make preparations for an afternoon stroll with her old-time chum. Evelyn Chapman. R-r-r-r-ring. Is Mildred at home? Yes'm. answered the maid. Shes in the drawing room.” After the usual greeting the two girls started down Palm Avenue. San Francisco. Naturally, the subject in the minds of both girls was the meeting of their old classmates. Yes. continued Evelyn. I was iust noticing the bill-board when, on turning around. I met her face to face. How strange!” broke in Mildred. I cannot tell you how surprised and how perfectly overjoyed we were to see each other. I was quite successful in finding out from her where the majority of our classmates are. ” It seems so strange that Fate has brought Florence here to our own city and in such a strange manner. How I wish we could meet her here. Where is she staying? At the San Francisco House. answered Evelyn. “Wh� t did you learn of our fellow graduates? asked Mildred. Florence learned where most of them were by her constant traveling. replied Evelyn. Let me see: where on earth should I begin? There were seventy-five graduates, weren't there?” Something like that. I'll try to think of them as you go along. Then it won't be quite so difficult for you. All right. I'll start with Florence. As you know, she has made a name for herself as the world's daintiest fairy dancer, and has traveled through all of the European republics. She dances at the Pacific Theater next week. Of course you will go. Milly.” Most certainly.” Then—oh. let's see I can't think of them all. Oh. yes! She spoke of Neva Leach as being a reader in a Chautauqua. Neva always was a good reader, wasn't she?” Yes. Remember 'The Perplexing Situation’ and the class play? But where «• Jane Taylor?” asked Mildred. Jane is with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. She attended several music colleges after graduating from L. H. S. Whew! Well, we might have guessed it! exclaimed Mildred. And say. Milly. before I forget, can you imagine what our friend Mr. Hougen is doing?” I couldn't imagine Is he a Jack of all trades?” Rupert found the girl of his dreams and was married in 1923 But that isn’t as surprising as his occupation. For heaven's sake. Ev.” interrupted Mildred. You have the awfullest habit of keeping one guessing. What is he doing?” Rupert K. Hougen. Esq. That’s the name he usually went by in school, and he's living up to it now. Down in southern Wisconsin is a quiet little village, most of which is owned by Rupert. He's the squire there and is extremely well liked. He made millions of dollars by inventing an Automatic Thinker. College students all use them. They are very expensive, as you can imagine. Gee. I'll bet Rupert wished he had one while he was in high school. said Mildred enthusiastically. I shouldn't wonder. an- swered Evelyn. I shall continue. Esther Anderson owns a large candy factory in Stevens Point, where only home-made candy is made I bet she's making use of what she learned in Domestic Science at the Lincoln. I reckon so. Say. did you read last night's paper announcing that Elmer Roles I didn't notice that. said Mildred. I suppose he'll give allhis law suit cases to Lawyer Carriveau. has been elected president of the Railway Union?” Most likely. Where is Edward Enlert? A professor ot the tjrcek language in V_olumbi been appointed Dean of a girls' 'finishing' school in Boston. I imagine she'll be a good Dean awyer University. And Florence Edwards?” Has just But what on earth became of Aileen Noel? I haven't heard a word about her since we graduated. said Mildred. Florence was so astonished when I asked her about Aileen. She thought I had surely heard about her. Is she so famous? asked Mildred. Aileen Noel plus Minard Gaulke are the greatest comedians in the United States. They are leading in the famous comedv entitled 'The Long and the Short of It.' It was written especially for them by the noted playwright. Marina Eichsteadt. For land's sake! I've heard of the play, but I never hear their names mentioned in connection with it.' My dear girl! said Evelyn. Actors never keep their own names. Ailcen’s stage name is Betsy Scroggins, and Minard's is Abraham Washington. Of course' I might have known that. Keep on. This is extremely interesting.” Yes. it almost seems as though we were back in Wisconsin. I often think of it all. What is Norbert Daly doing? Owner of the Buick Motor Car Company. And Paul Arpin? Oh. yes! He is the governor of New Jersey. And Frank Reiland is a Wall Street financier. ” Yes. said Evelyn. I'll bet when Mr. Kell sent them to the office for being mischievous in school, he little thought that some day they would surpass him in authority. Well, who could have guessed it? We little thought that in seven years we'd be living in California. But. seems to me. Paul is pretty young to be governor of a state. He is. He attended two universities after graduating (301 from the Lincoln. uLingup lew practice and somehow or other became a governor ' I see Helen Billmeyer is the head nurse in the Grand Rapids hospital. i n t she? Ves. answered Evelyn. At this point the girls came to a large mansion surrounded by flowers and palm trees. Let’s stop in to call on Violette Bogoger. suggested Mildred, and arrange for a theater party for next week. All right The sun is rather hot. and I'm a trifle tired. 1 d enjoy a rest, said Evelyn. They strolled down the long shady walk and found Violette in the garden sitting near a table, very much occupied in reading a book on Women Suffrage. lolctte was an earnest booster in this line. An afternoon tea was enjoyed and a theater party arranged for. after which Mildred and Evelyn took their leave. What did Violette say about Ernest and George? a iked Evelyn. The newspapers have just announced that the government has chosen the Yeskeand Gahl Construction Company' to reconstruct the battlefields of France. Good! They have a wonderful opportunity before them ” Well. I guess they have Who else did Florence speak about? asked Mildred. She mentioned a few more Emmet Carey i.i operating some oil wells in Texas Califern Chamberlain is giving a series of famous lectures which were written by Martha Wittenberg I might add that Martha writes lectures during her snare time. Otherwise, she is occupied in her beautiful green house in Marshfield. 'I have heard of the wonderful lectures and am anxious to hear Califern when she comes here, said Mildred. So am I Oh. hello. Kee Where are you going? Over to see Florence. explained Kathlyn. I'm all worked up over hearing that she is here. Won’t vou girls go with me? Sorry.

So long. and Kathlyn hurried down the street .1 nevcr dreamed while I was in the Lincoln that Kee's name would some day be included in the hat of high-salaried movie stars. said Evelyn Nor I.” answered Mildred. Time certainly makes big changes. Well. I guess ao. Oh! Ha! ha! ha! laughed Evelyn. What’s so funny? ” I nearly forgot. Hal ha! ha! Evelyn could scarcely talk she was ao overtaken with a fit of laughter. ”1 wish you'd tell me so that I could laugh too” said Mildred. I would. Milly, but I can t talk. Ha! ha! ha! Write it. then on the sidewalk or anywhere. I’m dying to have a good, hearty laugh again. Evelyn finally found herself able to speak. Do you remember the Ostrich farm that we visited yesterday?” Yes. And do you remember speaking to the owner of the farm? Yea. Well, that was Carl Lofgren Mildred was nearly surprised out of her wits. But why didn’t we recog- nize him? That's another way in which Old Father Time makes changes. replied Evelvn. Quite true. Let's continue our class review. All right. I lere goes. Myrtle Cizon is very well situated in life. At present she is a Mrs. living in Milwaukee- Bertha Wcisberg is still working as a Civil Service stenographer. And liarvie Boorman? How forgetful you are. He is the Speaker in the Houae of Representatives.” Of course. He also is very young for such a position. Continue, please. Walter Dickson is a dentist in W'autau. Florence says he is very skillful, as it was necesrary for her to have her teeth fixed while she was there. I never dreamed that he would choose that as his profession, did you?” Never. Is Parley Eaton still Mr. Mead s secretary? The last I heard of him was that he had resigned and was going to be a reporter for the Chicago Tribunt. Antoinette Zimmerman succeeded him. Mr. Mead is very well satisfied with her work. That's good. What seems to be occupying Viola Hclke's time? Everything. Milly. She is very comfortable in her new home in Indiana. Viola Helkc married! said Mildred in surprise. She was always such a quiet, unassuming girl. This surprises me. But why should it? W'hy. even you are engaged Yes, even me. said Mildred, quietly. Cheer up. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Cecil will be a very kind husband. I know. ’’Let's change the subject, ‘ suggested Mildred. I just read in last Sunday's paper that Walter Fritz saved the Wisconsin fcotball team from the game with Minnesota Really? That reminds me of Shaw Hill. He s now the manager of Johnson 6c Hill’s store. And Arthur Plahmer is the pitcher for the White Sox Baseball team. The girls now arrived at the gate of Mildred’s home and each went her way. They were both invited to a dinner party at Wilcox’s to hear Ruth read her latest poem. Memories of a School Room. The party was most successful. Florence was there, and Mildred and Evelyn were anxious to find out more about their classmates. This is my last appearance. raid Florence. I saw Paul while I was in New Jersey and he asked me to give up danc- ing. and Florence gave a sly little wink. It did not take a dictionary or an encyclopedia to explain to them what she meant They were further con- vinced of their suspicions when Florence biushingly held out a icwelcd little hand. Do tell us more. Florence. begged Mildred. Here is Ruth's Ahda- wagam let’s glance through it to see whom we have omitted. it Here's George Fahmer. I had forgotten all about him. said Evelyn. He is an engineer on the Green Bay Railroad. said Ruth. And Leslie Hill?” asked Mildred. I was not able to locate Leslie. said Florence. “If I remember rightly. Leslie is in Cuba where he owns a sugar plantation. answered Ruth. A sugar plantation! exclaimed Florence. Well. I wonder if it has made him any fatter. Hew about Raymond Johnston?

But Olga 132) Senior Farewell E have come at laat to the bend in the path of life where we muit take the road to seriousness; where school life and play muat be parted with. Four years ago we entered this school, now so dear to us because of all that has taken place here, where our characters and habits have been formed, and where some of our dearest friends have been found. We now sadlv realize that we must part with this forever and attend Life's ccSool. where sorrow, care, joy, and responsibility are combined in a more serious nature than we found them in school. But we are ready to take Life's duties. With the untiring and sincere guidance of the teachers under whose loving care we. the class of 1918. have been for four years, we have been carefully prepared for the path that we now must follow. All the disagreeable happenings in school we are now willing to forget, only the pleasant things remembered. We are sorry that we did not enter upon our studies a? seriously as we may have: we are sorry if we have been a care to our teachers and to Mr. Kell: we are sorry if any of us have in any way set a bad example for our fellow-students and under-classmen. We leave records of scholarship which we are proud of; we leave records of athletics which are yet to be surpassed: we leave behind us four years of the happiest and most care-free days of our lives. It is with sorrow and heavy hearts that we now say farewell to the Lincoln. When the book's last pages are turned And the teachers no longer are seen. When the clock, resounds in an empty room. And the hallt are peaceful and still. When the seats are deserted no footsteps are heard— So loud tramping noises up aisle or hall. So loud uhispering thought to class-mate nearby. Sor coice of authority echoed; When all these things hate tome to pass Then uith board head and tear-stained eye. Sadly recalled art they one and all To one aho lingers no longer there. Olga Bissig.

Our voices rang loud and clear at the games as well as at meetings, and we were always “Johnny-on-the-spot when it came to giving cur quarters and fifteen cents to any school entertainments, although it sometimes cut us out of a movie or some candy with which to earn a compound in school.

Lady of the Lake, that we gave before Thanksgiving was sure worth more than the price of admission, which was. as Fritzie would say anyway, free for nodings.

William Smith, a member of our class, played on that very best of basket ball team We were not given a chance to elect officers, so our sophomore year. I do believe, was the deadest year of our high school career Then came that JUNIOR year We were cne of the very best Junior classes that ever attended Lircoln High, at least in our eyes The first real excitement that we had was a challenge lor a ticket selling contest for the Wausau game, the losers to give a party. The seniors cl allenged us and the challenge was read before the mam room. Lvery Junior at tlat time sure showed that he was albe That was a tender spot that Senior President hit when he called us names Wait. Who was he Oh yes. now I remember. It wa George Yeske. We met tl at noon and elected Hallie Rice and Vernon Natwick to write the acceptance. They sure did write it too. The Seniors had to be ash anted. I think, when it was read. I think the .Seniors found that we were there, although we were only Juniors. The following noon the tickets were out and every Junior worthy of that name got tickets to sell and sold them too yut of honor to our upper classmen, we. of course, submitted to them and let them win over us. At that they did not win over us by a very large margin. W hen we found we were defeated, we showed we still had spirit. We were being laughed at by the Seniors and numbers of the Alumni because we had not yet elected an ofFcer. so we up and asked Mr. Schwede .? ve u meeting because we were sure in need of officers if we were to give a party. After considerable delay, he finally gave us a meeting We elected William Smith president. Hallie Rice vice-president. Sumner MacSwain secretary and Dorothy Kormington treasurer. They were gcod officers, too. faith- fully fulfilling every requirement. The party was given November tenth, nineteen hundred seventeen, and I guess every one had a good time. I know I did I felt it though the next day. being sleepy. Oh my! Oh my! I pretty nearly went to sleep in church. Several of our classmates were on the first team football squad. They were Neal Conway. William Smith, and Sumner Macswain. A number of others fought equally weM on the second team. They were not afraid of their opponents nor of their own faces They went into the fight where it was the worst. In the Inter-Class Basket Ball Iournament the Juniors again submitted to the Seniors, who thereby gained first place and we went hack to second. William Smith, a member of the Junior Class, plavcd on the regular Lincoln High Basket Ball team of 1918. I must tell you about our initiation into the Girls’ Literary Society. We Junior girls were not treated as mean as the junior girls usually were, and I suppose we had to give the thanks to the Senior girls of 1918. All we had to do was to wear our hair up in a high knot on the top of our head, and wear large aprons I do believe the teachers and some of the pupils would have thought we had forgotten to do our hair and take off our aprons, if they had not known that we were to be initiated. After school we went over to the music room in the witter Building where instead of playing all sorts of tricks on us. we were given a program and then sent home. Our Junior Class Play was the greatest event of that year and was said to be the best ever given in the Lincoln High School Auditorium. We chal- 138) lenged the Seniora to • ticket selling contest but they refused on the plea that they were too busy. Those poor Seniors! The play was entitled. 'The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary. Lydia Peters as Aunt Mary was great. It was not only the way she took her part that brought credit but the way she learned it in the short time given for her to learn it in Hallie Rice was to have taken the part—but Fate was not with us and she became ill Lydia was choaen to fill the part. Ayhvard .Schnabel as Jack. Aunt Mary's nephew, was all a college bred nephew could be. Always getting into scrapes and looking to Aunt Mary to help him Whoever could not laugh at Ruth Shultz must have had lockjaw because she as Lucinda and John John- son as Joshua. Aunt Mary's hired man. seemed to be real country characters. Cabrielle Smith as the Girl from Kalamazoo was a regular actress. John Hasaeler. Sumner MacSwain. Clement Meilicke. Hallie Chaffee. Oliver Koch. Manon Mathews. Beatrice Richards, and Stella Rickman all lived in their parts. Much credit is due to Dorothy Normington and Roy Meunier as business and advertising managers. We had a full house the first night and so gave the play for two nights. Ten per cent of the proceeds went to the Red Cross. „ . ,, 0 B The Junior Girls’ Basket Ball team was Florence Bronkalla. Catherine Gee. Esther F.rdman. Maria Hanmfi. Lydia Peters, and Helen Bouington. The one sad event that took place in our class was during the vacation between our sophomore and junior year, when one Sunday afternoon the report was spread around town. Morris Kleberg is drowned He was one of our most popular classmates and his death was mourned by the whole class as the loss of a friend and by those who did not know him for a friend mourned him as a classmate gone from our midst At this point Grandma’s caller thought she must go. but when she went out of the door she made Grandma promise to tell of her Senior year the next time she came, and Grandma said she would. 1391 Junior Class Play The Junior Class. under the personal direction of Mias Kitto. successfully staged a clever comedy entitled. “The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary. The part of Aunt Mary, a wealthy spinster who adores her mischievous nephew. Jack, was remarkably well rendered by Miss Lydia Peters. Her voice, her expression, and her gestures were particularly well suited for the part. Lydia deserves a great deal of credit for her work, especially so. since she worked up her part in three weeks, the former Aunt Mary. Hallie Rice, having been taken suddenly ill ii P rt WI taken by Alyward Schnabel, who evinced considerable talent along dramatic lines. Since he was supposed to represent a college youth who is always getting into scrapes, all he had to do was to act perfectly natural. Those who knew Aylward. understood! Manon Mathews as Betty Burnett, sister to one of Jack’s best friends, quite captivated not only Jack and Aunt Marv. but her audience as well. She was natural, graceful, and perfectly at ease. The part of Daisy Mullens, a hard working woman who supported a husband and thirteen children, was sympathetically interpreted by Miss Stella Rickman. Beatrice Richards, a proper little French maid. Oliver Koch. Burnett's butler, and John Johnson. Aunt Mary’s hired man. helped to make the play the success that it was. Miss Cabrielle Smith, the girl from Kalamazoo, was a regular Theda Bara at first, but under the loving influence of Aunt Mary, she calmed down to a Mary Pickford or a Marguerite Clark. Hallie Chaffee was a real lawyer, he did some splendid acting. The nasal twang and the slow, easy-going manner of Ruth Schultz, as Lucinda. Aunt Mary’s property, provoked a good laugh from the audience every time she put in an appearance. The part could not have been better rendered. John Hasseler. Clement Meilicke. and Sumner McSwain were typical college men. who lent life, pep and the spirit of youthfulness to the play. A great deal of credit is due Miss Kitto. She is an adept at selecting her characters, and has won for herself the reputation of always staging a play extremely well. Her performances are finished products. There is nothing amateurish about them. Much credit is due Roy Meunier and Dorothy Normington. who acted as advertising manager and business manager respectively. Very pleasant music was furnished by the high school orchestra under the supervison of Miss Purle Lantz. Miss Alice Damon, who has a very sweet voice sang. Let s All Be Americana Now.

Richard Sophomore Class History By Carol Boorman '20 HEIN we. the present Sophomore Class, entered the High Schoo1 as little eighth graders, we experienced the same trials and tribulations as those who had preceded us. The first few days afforded us much confusion, as we were either going to the wrong class at the time, or the right class at the wrong time. We soon became acquainted with the rules and regulations of the school, when we were afflicted with compounds and long poems For a time we were forced to neglect our studies to appease the wrath of our many teachers. The ' r passed uneventfully, and most of us survived and entered school next fall as Ereshies, green but growing. The duties of an eighth grader proved too strenuous for some of our classmates, and they were eft behind to lend a helping hand to the new eighth graders. We were made to feel our insignificance and inferiority, but we braved the battles and a few of our class won honors as no other Freshmen has achieved. It goes without saying, that we were a model class never whispering, never talking in the halls, or being disorderly in any way. As a class we have never been very active because we have been too occupied climbing the ladder to learning. The Freshman boys won fourth place in the Inter-class Basket Ball Tournament without much effort, although they surprised their opponents at timer with their skillful playing. The year was happily closed by picnics which were given by the Freshmen English classes. I his studious ( ) Ereshman class was well prepared to complete with the difficulties which confronted it in the Sophomore year. We were well fitted to take our place as orderly and dignified Sophomores, in fact, some of us were so well informed that we felt it our duty to assist Mr. Kell with the discipline of the school. A meeting of the Sophomore girl was called for the purpose of organizing a Knitting Club A large number of girls responded, but nothing was accomplished, although many of us learned to knit. .... , , . The Sophomore boys won third place in the Inter-class Basket Ball Tournament by defeating the Erea'imen. Although our class has not teen repre- sented in football and basket ball, we have always taken an active interest as athletic fans. , Two members of our class. Fred Reichel and lohn Schlatterer. distinguished themselves by taking the affirmative in the I riangular debate. Alice Damon, our little nightingale, greatly charmed the audiences at the Junior Class play with her singing. . . . A class meeting was called for tne purpose of electing officers. As this was our first experience, many of our members thought it was their privilege to cast as many vote as they wiiSed, and as a result there were over one hundred votes cast, while only fiftv were present. After enlightening the orencers. the election wa� continued and the following officers were elected: President. Edwin Cahl: Vice President. Eva Rath; Secretary. Janet Rilev; I reasurer. Emmet Caulke ... 11 L A committee wa� appointed for the purpose of selecting a cla� s color and flower. After a lengthy di cujsion the Lily-of-the-Valiev was chosen as the class flower, and green and white as the class colors, the latter because green wai so appropriate to the class. ... i c On March sixteenth, the members of the Sophomore class joyouslv trooped into the music room, light on feet, head and heart, for our first sopho- more class party. Confusion reigned supreme, but nevertheless everyone had a good time. , , , We have not distinguished ourse ves as a class, but we are looking forward to the coming years, which will be the crowning glory of our high schoo education, when we will occupv the coveted Senior row , and have attained the record of being the most brilliant class that ha ever graduated from the Lincoln High School. 1431 Freshman Class History By Thomas Nash '21 fONDAY morning.

There are nine little Bingoes with Big Bingo. Wherever do you suppose «he picked up so many ■queried seven-year-oki Vivian. Big Brother Jack rushed around the corner of the house and shot through the bam door with one mighty leap. There was hi small sister jumping up and down, squealing, and clasping her hands in a frenzy of delight. There, also, was Bingo, the homely Ayredale. stand- ing meekly by. but with a meekness that bespoke more pride than if she had been leaping about and barking with joy. Such a broad doggie-grin can hardly be imagined. Her body was quivering all over with excitement and happiness. She led the way to the box stall where her darlings squirmed on a bed of straw, and stood over them with such a sheepish look of love and pride, trying so hard not to betray her true feelings, yet seeming to be a trifle bewildered at such a super-abundance of wealth, that Jack thought he must shout with laughter. He bravely held himself in check, though, for fear he would hurt the proud mama’s feelings. if For the love of mud! he chuckled, his lips twitching suspiciously. You'll have to introduce me to the crowd, or haven t you named cm yet5 Bingo looked up at Jack and Vivian and seemed to say. I know there seems to be quite a few. but aren t they beautiful, and so bright! I m so proud of them, even though I do say it as I shouldn’t.” Then she grinned ingratiatingly and began to lick their homely faces with a pride beyond human expression. Those puppies grew and grew and grew especially their feet. Vivian was so busy helping Bingo bring them up properly, that she scarcely had time to eat or sleep. She was especially interested in one puppy, the homeliest in the litter. Perhaps that is why she became hi companion and protector, because she wai a kind-hearted little person, and felt sorry for him. He certainly needed all the sympathy he could get. All Ayredale� . though the moat intelligent of all breeds, have such comically foolish expressions on their be-whiakcred. inquiring faces, and yet they look so wise, that one always wishes to laugh heartily upon seeing them. It always seems as though they were terribly abused, because they are so ragged, unkempt, and un-cared-for looking This homely puppy was a typical Ayredale. He was a tan color, having a few blackish spots on his back. His short, bristly, wiry hair was sixteen different lengths, his head a little flat on top and his ears crooked. One always stood defiantly upright, the other flopped dejectedly. His tail was all right «xcept l the very end. where it took a sudden upward turn, something like the end of a snub nose. Besides having all these afflictions he was bow-legged in front and knock kneed behind. There was never such a funny-faced, scrubby, scraggly little rag-a-mufhn. but. strangest of all. perhaps, he was the brightest puppy of all the nine. t As soon as they were old enough, seven of them were sold. The Grahams kept the homliest one for V ivian. and one other, which they called Bingo Jr. Vivian did not know just what to Call the homely one. Jack suggested Beautiful Joe” and the other membersof the family thought of all the dog names imaginable, but none suited Vivian. Finally she gave up in despair, and the poor puppy was generally called the homeliest one The homeliest one was very brave. He wasn't afraid of gophers or snakes, or anything not even all the other dogs, large and small on the street. One day. after he had whipped the largest one. he received his reward. Vivian proudly stroked his head and exclaimed. Why you are fearless, and after that, he was always “Fearless ” By the time Fcarle s was a year old. ho was so overgrown and awkward that people laughed at him more than ever, and the more they laughed the more love Vivian laviihcd on him. He became her devoted shadow and the child could be trusted entirely to his care. It was just about this time that war between Germany and the United States seemed possible, because of the attitude taken by Germany toward neutral . Of course. Jack was very much interested in the proceedings; in fact everyone talked war. Red Cross work for the Allies became very prominent and all the women who could and would, got out their knitting needles and set to work. Vivian wanted to help too. but even the smallest knitting needles were clumsy for her small hands, and after trying to knit a scarf and getting all tangled up in yam. her mother suggested that she find some other way of helping the poor french and Belgians. The very next day. a group of ladies decided to adopt a Belgian family and urged the children of the town to help support the movement by putting their pennies in the slot box for Belgian relief outside of the post-office Vivian saved nearly all of her pennies and nearly every day she dropped some in the box. Bui she was not satisfied, and wanted to do something to help fight the Kaiser, more directly. She hated this man they called the Kaiser with all her little might, because he allowed his soldiers to kill and mistreat little children. One evening. Jack looked up from the evening paper and remarked. I see they’re going to start a few war dog training stations in this country. They’re going to begin the training of the dogs here and then ship them across for final field training, before they put them at the front. Where are they going to get the dog� ! ” asked Mrs. Graham. 14SJ d td to hunf forTravel .

Pal was rather conceited because he had a good record. He was treated with much respect by the other dogs in the squad, because he could whip them all. One day. when Pal was sitting near t e doorway of a dugout. Fearless came by. at the heels of Mr. Brown. Fearless was decked out in is new Red Cross bank across is back, and perlaps he was stepping rather highly, because it had a big U. S. A. under the bright red cross as if to celebrate the United States' entrance into the war Anyway Pal must have said something very insulting, for Fearless turned about without a word and went at him. In just about three minutes (Mr. Brown could not get within separating distance) Fearless had every speck of conceit knocked out of Pal. including most of his wind. In a few minutes. Pal got up. and I'll bet anything he said. By George! Young fellow, you take the cake. Shake! Fearless and Pal were the best of friends after the scrap.and became almost inseparable. Do you know those two dogs do excellent team work. remarked Mr. Brown to Pal’s trainer. Suppose you transfer him to my squad and I’ll give you a good one in returr So the change was mad.: and the dogs were together more than ever before. During a hard attack, a call was sent in from headquarters, for several good squads of dogs. The squad that Fearless and Pal were in. and two others were sent immediately. Now indeed, their training began to bear fruit. The firstdav the dogs worked under heavy shell fire, and though they were somewhat bewildered, none of them flinched, even when shells fell quite near them. Fearless and Pal made record trips into the field, the very first dav. It was not long before Fearless and Pal were known all along the sector as dogs whose bravery could not be equalled. Fearless generally had a better record than Pal. because he would tackle any task that came to him. He was often sent out on the field after an attack to search for wounded, who had dragged themselves to shelter, and therefore lessened their hope of discovery The danger of German snipers, who shot every Red Cross dog they saw. was very great. Searching for wounded under fire was comparative safety because a dog wuid squeeze through many a tight place, but there was seldom any hope for one of the poor fellows if a German sniper spotted one of them The dogs could do much more under fire than men searchers because they could easily go where it would mean sure death for any man to go. Fear- less surely lived up to his name for he saved the lives of many men each day. and everyone praised and petted the brave little Ayredale. His name was a byword all along the line. Pal was with him constantly, and when a man was found who needed help badly, one dog staid with him; the other went for help. Their record climbed higher and higher. The men said those two dogs were worth forty privates and more too. One day. when the she'ls were falling almost too thickly even for the dogs to be on the open field, an over the top” raid, caused all the dogs to be called into service. Fearless and Pal found the first lieutenant of the command they were attached to. seriously wounded and delirious, dangerou.dv near the German lines in No Man's Land. Fearless went back for help and Pal staid with the officer but he had a hard time of it. because the man tried desper- ately to get away from the dog. Perhaps he thought Pal was a wild beast, in his delirium Pal took the officer’s clothes between his teeth and held on tightly. He pullerl one way and the officer pulled the other, and tba v ai the way they were found an hour later. How Pal escaped death, being so near the German line , was a miracle, but the front line trench was taken and perhaps tLe German uniper3 were disheartened. The officer was loud in hi praire for the heroic rervice of the two dogs. He had been wounded in the leg and would have to lo-e it. unless the surgeons could find some way to heal the sbat'ered and torn mu cle . As he was a very valuable man. a specialist was sent for from a neighboring sector, and the officer was moved to a base ho - pi'al behind the lines. At the tame time. Pal’s and Fearless’s sqcad was removed from the sec or to the base for a week's rc t. Several men at the base needed to be operated upon, but before anything could be done, experiments were to be performed on animals, that no mi take might be made Some of the dogs that were not doing good work were taken for the experiments. The specialist for the first lieutenant took two of the dogs to the hospital laboratory. He put one on the table and after strapping it securely he began his horrible work. He cut one of the dog's legs that he might learn exactly what must be done to save the officer’s leg No anesthetic, nothing, to lessen the horrible agonv of the poor little dog. Poor little fellow! He died before the surgeon could complete his ghastlv experiment. Then the other dog was strapped to the table, but he died of fright almoit before the knife touched him. The surgeon disgustedly threw the dog upon the floor and went out in search of another. Oh why. why did he see Pal stretched out there sleeping in the sun? But Pal was just like any other dog to him. so he led the trusting little dog into the laboratory, and before Pal could struggle or defend himself he wa strapped to the table, waiting to be killed in cold blood! Was there no one to «ave hirn? Wouldn't some one come in time to prevent his horrible death) But no. that surgeon, that man whom people called civilized, took his knife and drove it into the quivering living flesh of poor little Pal. Not a whimper came from the dog. but his beseeching, pleading, almost human eye looked up into his tormentors, and begged him to stop the horrible agony. Just then the door opened and the first lieutenant swung in on his crutches. Hello. Doc. You weren't at the hospital so I meandered over here. What are you doing anyhow? he called out cheerily. Then he swung acro-s the room to the table and raw what did he see! Pal! There on the table, strapped to it was the heroic dog who had saved his life, who had perseveringly held to his clothes that he would not fall into a fate worse than death by delirouosly wandering into the German lines. Pal. a living conscious Pal. suffering that awful agony that someone might live perhaps. With one spring the officer snatched a knife from the table and ended the life of Pal.

That's a girl's job. . . . , , Nevertheless, young man. you’re going to wash those dishes and hurry up about it. And then you can go into the parlor and dust. I’d like to know how you think I’m going to let a naughty boy like you go fishing. B 1 ■ Jimmy slowly picked up the dish towel and walked over to the table where the dishes were stacked up in two pans. A Mother 1 mi had company to dijUMV the night before and had gotten so tired before the left that she had decided to leave UMB until morning She hadn't expected the responsih ility of getting the dinner, but the maid was called home to attend a funeral when it was too late to tell the company not to come, so she had gone thru with it herself. jimmy had heard of hia friends having had to wash dishes, but had never had the dreadful experience himself, and this was so sudden! It nearly took his breath away. _ ... ...... _ , , . Why. it wa« positively horrid! Here he had planned to go fishing with the kids on this beautiful, bright. Saturday morning, and just as he was arising from the breakfast table, father had said. See here, young man. don’t you ever help your mother on Saturday mornings'' What about these dishes out there' waving his hand toward the kitchen door. Didn’t you see all of those dishes? If not. look at them now. I hope you weren t intending to leave them for your mother to wash and wipe alone and with the maid gone too. were you? Well. I- I promised Sam I’d---- .. ... , , , , ,.

Mr. Smith had picked up his hat and started for his office, after turning at the door to remind his wife that Jimmy was to stay at Jimmy went thru all the agony possible in the queer process of washing dishes. Why was mother so particular about it' It took him two hours and. though he thought that his mother would have mercy on him at the end of that time and would let him go. 1 am sorry to say that she did not. Well. she said. It took you pretty long to get those dishes washed, didn't it? Jimmv hung his head and waited, he knew not what for. but he hoped she would let him go oh! if she only would. Well here i� a duster. Let's see if you can get that done in at least one hour. He was surprised then. His eyes grew large and serious as he gared at her. He wouldn t have believed it of her! He took the duster and started blindly for the other room. When he reached the door, he turned and determined to plead with her. if by any chance it were possible. Please, ma Mayn’t I go?” „ What! You may go up stairs for the rest of the day. that's where you may go It was getting worse every minute and every minute, he was getting farther away from going fishing. I le walked into his old play room, sat down on his box that took the place of a chair, and looked around. She hadn't said t! at he had to stay in his own room, had she? Well, if she had. why he didn't remember of it anyhow and away he went up the stairs to the garret, three steps at one jump There were enough things there to amuse him for a week, although it wasn't nearly as much fun as going fishing It was hot. too. but hestarted to go thru a box full of books. Everyone proved to be above his knowledge. Down wnt the Lady of the Lake with a bang. Next came Ivanhoe and following these came Silas Marner.

Si THIRD PRIZE STORY—By Raymond Roy 20 A SOLDIER OF FRANCE i HE town of Villers Cotterets. which plays an important part in one of Dumas's works, lies twelve miles northeast of Paris. It is a beautiful little hamlet surrounded by the remains of a once extensive forest. Looking from the north, one seer rows of picturesque houses bor- aenng on a dusty They are all more or less shattered but most of them are tenanted The townnall stands in the center of the village It is a large, white stone building, looking very imposing in the midst of the low pea.ants cottages. Its windows are shattered, and the stone window ledges are chipped bv bullets, the building having been used as a fort by the retiring Germans after the Battle of the Marne tJ. £ ' building ha been changed into a hospital. Along each wall, inside is a row of beds, where lie shattered wrecks of what were once the finest soldiers of France. It wa� at this hospital that I was stationed after my arrival from America with an American Red Cross unit Having had considerable experience in surgery- the work was not at all difficult for me. At la it. it became almost monotonous. Hospitals nearer the front have the variety of an occasional aerial bombing attack the Red Cross insignia being highly esteemed by the Germans (as a target), but there was no such diversion for the base hospital rea hospital d° r°Und ° du,,e' 1° ' on- • ■ • � wounded arc being brought in to have their wounds dressed, and to be passed on to the One day a marine arrived in the village. It was his birthplace, and as he was convalescing from a serious wound in the left arm. he had returned to it. to wait till his wound healed when he would return to the front. Jacques Cuellet. for such was his name, was captain in the famous regiment of Brittany marine , les demoiselles de pompom rouge, so called because of the red tassel on their sailor caps. (501 I le wm enthusiastically received by his fellow villagers, especially by the children with whom he was a great favorite. He was soon on good terms with all the doctors. One day. when I was strolling through the village, a period of quiet prevailing along the'battlcfront. and casualties being few. I came upon Jacques, sitting on a bench in one of the groves. He was looking over the scene spread out before him with loving interest. He turned as I came up. startled by my footsteps, and. recognizing me. said. Ah. Monsieur, it is you. Is not this worth dying for? and he indicated the hillslopcs covered with the green leaves of grapevines, which stretched awav to the horizon, there mingling with the darker green of the forest. Gazing over this scene, above which hung the azure blue of the heavens, it seemed impossible that forty miles away, the greatest struggle in history was going on. After some moments of contemplation. I said. Jacques, you have promised to tell me of the defence of Nieuport. Will you do it now?” After some urging, he consented. In 1914. I was a marine on the 'La Patrie.' ” he began. Monsieur that was a fine vessel When the war began we hoped to fight the Boches on the sea. but the English bottled them up before we had a chance This made us almost jealous of the Engli� !. Then the German army invaded Belgium. Day after day. we marines wished that we were land soldiers to get a shot at les Allemands. our old enemies. At last our chance came and we were ordered to Nieuport. Alost had been captured by the Boches. who were now unpleasantly close to Calais, and we were expected to check the enemv at Nieuport. We were conveyed to the town by sea. much envied by our less fortunate comrades. It was well known bv our regiment that we were supposed to hold the town three days, so that reenforcements could reach Calais. We were put to work making defencei. a work which we detected as all sailors do. Two days later we could plainly hear the guns at Ostend. Then we learned that the city had sur- rendered. It would be our turn next. That same day. our outposts were attacked by the Allemand skirmishes and forced across the Yser. Several of them were hit by bullets, none of them seriously. The Boches kept well under cover. They knew that we had had time to make good trenches. The next day. they commenced shelling the town. None of us had ever been under fire before. Our idea of a shell was some sort of an iron pot which was shot from a cannon and fell on the ground, sputtering, until some brave hero picked it up. and blew out the fuse, or until it went off. But these shells were different. We would hear a whirr in the air and suddenly it would rise to a shriek and there would be a big bang. The houses were soon falling in all directions, and we had to take shelter in the trenches. Even there it was uncomfortable. The German machine guns were wasting ammunition scandalously and the air seemed to be full of bullets. While we were busy dodging them, the report came that the Germans were crossing the river. We had to stand up to fire at them and the Ger- mans commenced using shrapnel. This made an awful noiie as it shrieked through the air. but it was not so deadly as it reemed to be. I have seen a shrapnel shell explode directly over a group of men. and not one of them was hurt. Being raw soldiers, it made us nervous at first, but we soon became, accjstomed to it and laughed and joked as the balls struck around us. But we soon stopped laughing One of the German guns had our exact range, and opened up with high explosive shells. There was a sudden shriek in the air which in the space of three seconds rapidly grew higher and more menacing. Suddenly there wai a shock, and an earsplitting report forty feet away. For several minutes the air was filled with smoke and stifling gases which grad- ually cleared away. In a heap, half covered by dirt lay three men. one of them a marine, the other two were regulars. Poor Jean, he left a wife and two small children in Bretagne, which he had not seen for two years. After this, officers passed rapidly among the men ordering them to lie down, as this first shell might be followed by others. But it proved to be merely a chance shot and we recommenced our rifle fire. This episode stirred us all deeply, as none knew whether or not he might be the next to die. The Germans on the other side of the stream, were trying in vain to build pontoon bridges, but our accurate fire finally compelled them to seek cover several times until at last they stopped entirely That night our snipers made progress for them impos- sible. and the next day several regiments arrived, reenforcing us so that even if Germans had passed the Yser. they would have been given a warm reception. Constant shelling by tke Bochc artillery almost completely razed Nieuport. Several weeks later, the Battle of the Marne saved Paris, and also assured the safety of Calais and Dunquerque. by exposing the German left flank and compelling their retreat. The regiment which was to hold Nieuport three days held it three years and Nieuport is still Belgian. Well. Monsieur, it is growing late. Let us go. Side by side we walked down to the village. Jacques was soon almost mobbed by the children, who dragged him off to carve toys for them. At this he wat quite proficient. Poor Jacques! I later learned that, returning to the battle line, he was killed before Douaumont. where so rnsuiy other gallant heroes have given their last full measure of devotion that La Patrie” might live. 1511 A QUEST FOR CAESAR By Doris Raymond '20 Ro?er? “ «unced « be Caesar clan that all thoae who wished to visit Caesar in the realm� of Pluto, should raise their hand� . All the girls, who had been prepared for this, raised their hands, hut there was only one boy liar..1.1 l.wede. ell. Miss Roger� said. I was thinking of planning a trip to Caesar's dwelling place, but union the whole clan goes I do not think I can leave. The reason why I broached this subject was this: I wished to ask Caesar myself if some of those ablatives in chapter twenty-five were ablative absolutes or descriptive ablatives.' The room was silent for about five minutes except that one of two of the more emotional girls were sobbing and Stanley Holberg and l iRhton Moffat were receiving scoldings from Cornelia Paulus, on account of their holding back But still no one offered to go I he silence was at last broken by Miss Rogers who. after delivering a long and weighty discourse to the boys and calling them slackers, cowards' etc., called the class to order and we had about five minutes of recitation that period. Of course, the girls were all very angry and they decided to go anyhow. At noon they mobbed Miss Rogers and demanded that they go just the same. ' Miss Rogers said. Well, it will be very hard to arrange if all the class do not care to go I will see what I can do though. I hat was all she would say. so you can imagine their surprise when Mr. Kell announced that the following were to report to Miss Rogers immediately at thecloseof school Cornelia Paulus. Irene Rowson. I.ucile Miller. Dons Raymond. Janet Rilev. Susan Eaton. Aileen Ecklund. Klara Dahlke and Harold c«chwede I hey reported immediately all except Cornelia Paulus who was going to report but skipped some aisles, only to be called back again Rut she ?Ir,vfV. lhere al ‘bey were delighted beyond measure when Miss Rogers said that she had decided to go. They all asked at the same time When? How? She replied: I am able to answer the first question, but not the second. We are going to start Monday morning (it was then Friday). You will all come to this room. I must confess though I don t know how we are going. Where there s a will there’s a way. quoted Susan quite bravely and loudly for her Yes. said Dons, let's ask the old gods that Caesar wor- shipped to have a sacrifice and offerings or something like that whatever they had then. I ll give up my Caesar text gladly and my notebook too. I can get along without them all right. All right. Where'll we have it?' asked someone. Oh. 1 think we can have it in the furnace room somewhere. was the hopeful reply from Miss Rogers. This was agreed upon and each promised to bring the books that were used in Caesar with them to the furnace room Mondav morning.

I hey had nine Caesar texts and eighteen note books, all together, when hey assembled Mondav morning Thev wanted Miss'Rogers to put her Caesar text on the pile, but she said that she might need it again next year. They volunteered to take up a collection next vear for a new book for her. but she said it would be imposing on them too much and she preferred to keep her lame text Then they erected their pile this death bed of their Caesar texts. After they had the pile U ready thev had a terrible time trying to decide who was to light it. At last it was decided that Miss Rogers would have th® honor. They agreed that they had better call on all the gods (as some of them might feel slighted if they didn't), but particularly on Mercury as he was the one who conducted spirits to Hades 9 7 After Miss Rogers lighted the fire, they at once fell upon their knees and repeated a Latin prayer which Mias Rogers had composed for the occasion. Immediately after repeating this, and the fire had burned out. they were very anxious to know if their prayers had been heard. They went up to the Latin room and had just seated themselves when Mr. Kell came into the room and said I have ,ust found out that the janitor has a key to the small door in the back of the furnace which is raid by some scientists to open into a passage which, if you are able to get into it. will take you to the river S yX ° P aC ? wherc Charon row the •P,r,u ««o � H you will go down there and get the kev from the janitor you may start anytime vou want to “ .

Oh you kids are such everlasting little piggies. Miss Rogers, make 'em give me some too. Miss Rogers returned to the doorway. Several of the girls had already grown small enough to enter. They all crowded in at once and shoved Misa Roger.� back against the wall. Girls wait! You must wait until all are ready. said Miss Rogers, who is always very calm and collected. At last everyone had eaten some of the cake and all were small enough to enter. Then they fell in line. Miss Rogers went in first, of course, and Harold Schwede brought up the rear. After they had locked the door from the inside and had given the key to Miss Rogers, she tied it up in her handkerchief and then fastened it inside her pocket with a safety pin. Then they really started. As they walked down the passageway. Harold took a comb and some tissue paper from his pocket and favored them with On Wi;consin.” with variations. After thev had become used to the sound it wain't bad at all. When they had marched for a short time they came to a turn. There war something very queer about the passageway after that. When they turned they turned completely around and started to go the other way. Hie floor wa so very slippery and so very well polished that they did not need any light at all. All of a sudden. Miss Rogers, who wa ahead fell down and all of the rest did the same thing. Then they all started to slide down, for the passageway had tipped and was at an angle of about ninety degreej. They slid for about fifteen minute and then all of a sudden they stopped. They were landed on the ground and the tunnel disappeared' They looked all over but it wasn’t to be found! Anyhow they couldn't see very well because it was quite dark and such a queer depressing darkness that it gave them all the bluej. A river flowed right at their feet and they could make out a boat with an old grey-haired man. carrying a long pole, standing there. Wh what is that? Where am I?” How did I get here? ...

She talked in English and in Latin, but he would shake his head and mutter something no one could understand. She gave up the attempt and Cornelia said. Let me try. Miss Rogers. I’ll use French and ‘paries vous Francais at him. Mim Rogers gave her permission and she approached Charon. She spoke French to him so slowly that he ought to have understood her. but ha didn’t. After a few more attempts she also gave it up. Then Doris said: Let me talk my Carman to him. No one olae can understand me. If Charon doein't understand I'll drop German as soon as I get back to school if I ever do _ Well. Miss Rogers said, you might as well try. It won’t do any harm. All right, what shall I say? ’ Ask him to carry us across. Here goes.” and then with that she went over and muttered something to him. The re� t waited in suspense. Then Charon muttered something as though lie was groaning. Doris came back and said that he understood German —that was what nearly all who came down there spoke. He said that he would take them across but that only one could bo at a time. Everyone wanted to go first and when it wa� decided that Misa Rogers should go first, some of the girls said thev wouldn t let Miss Rogers go alone. At last Miss Rogers got into the boat and Charon pushed off. As the river was not wide they soon crossed and Miss Rogers was left on the opposite bank until Charon came back again. In about half an hour all were across and after thanking Charon, for he had let them go without paying, they journeyed on. They did not go very far. because they came to the cave entrance where the three-headed dog.

A great light outside and a crackling noise above attracted attention. And— 1 was awakened suddenly and sat up in bed. Get up! The house is on fire!' I heard someone say loudly, but not excitedly, and then saw my father standing near my bed. For a moment. I thought 1 was dreaming, but soon realized vaguely that it was all real. My sisters and brothers and I hurried down- stairs to dress as my father told us. but not before we had caught a glimpse of the attic all ablaze. Once downstairs we hurried to put our shoes and stockings on and slip a coat over our night clothes. A great crash from the falling roof served as a whip lash to hurry us on still more rapidly. As we were leaving the house, more timbers kept falling, making a great racket. My sister, brother and I each carried a baby to the bam. The icy wind whipped us mercilessly. The baby which I was carrying was so heavy and the distance seemed too great: my head was bare and I was getting so tired from running that, nearly there. 1 stumbled and fell on top of the baby. My father came behind us with auilts. These we arranged in the dark as best we could and laid the little ones down. One of my brothers was sent immdiately to the neighbors for help. My father and mother busied themselves in trying to save things from the house. In the bam we huddled together in the dark trying to keep warm. From time to time I opened the door to look at the burning building. The red and yellow flames and sparks shot up vividly against the dark background of the woods; the dull roar, as the wind fanned the flames, sounded dreadful. Once I became very restless and ran out to the house. It was very dangerous to approach it from the east for the spark� flew thicklv in that direc- tion. and any one of them lighting on me might have caused my clothing to catch on fire. However, luckily none did. and I went around the west side where my father and mother were still busy trying to get things out. My mother told me to go right back again to see that the others were all right. I hated to go back without having done anything at all. so when I noticed a quilt which had been thrown out. lying on the ground. I picked it up. On the north side. I saw another quilt lying on the ground and picked it up too. and ran to the bam with them. They added a great deal to our warmth and comfort. Very soon, or so it seemed to us. help came. Two of our neighbors with another man and his son. came together, but the flames had too great a headway to be put out. The only thing possible was to keep the bams and the lumber pile from catching. My mother did not want my father to go in. but her wishes made no difference. The last thing he got out was a string of seed com. My brother and I watched the fire through the cowbarn window. The noise was incessant and it was difficult for us to hear each other speak. It was not pleasant all alone in the dark and when my father came with a lantern our relief was great. Soon after this my mother came too and stayed with us while my father returned to the burning house. The fire was going down some, and towards morning we heard a great crashing noise. Afterwards we learned it was the chimney falling. I shall never forget that morning. When my mother, brother and one of my sisters left to go to the fire which was still burning. I was left alone with the babies and my other sister. We lay together to keep warm and dozed somewhat. Every once in a while I would start up suddenly only to see the cows calmly chewing their cuds. It sounds rather humorous when told now. but it was only too solemn a matter then. At first we were going to fit up the cowbarn to live in. But different persons had their objections; so my father, even when the health officer de- clared it to be sanitary and fit for occupance. refused to go into it. For a few days the members of the family stayed at different places until my father built a small house of one room. It was rather cold at first because of the frost in the ground underneath the floor, but soon it became snug and warm. The Christmas following was one of the happiest we had ever known. Not because of having plenty, but because we had so much to be thankful for. We might have lost the bams as well as the house, but we didn’t; and we might have been called too late to escape. Several of the children attending the Howe School united and arranged to give their tree and its trimmings to us; also, they divided their presents. We hope to have a new house built by next winter. Perhaps it was for the best that the old one burned—the ways of fate are strange and inex- plicable.

Some get there by turning somersault� , some by slipping on the ice or a banana peel, in fact there are a thousand different ways to get there if you really want to go. It depends, however, on the person wishing to go. Spoons, cups, and tastes vary as all of you know who have drunk Instant Postum I got to the land of humor by slipping on the ice one glorious July morning. I thought I landed on my head, but I didn't.—I landed right in the Land of Humor. It's the queerest town I ever saw. nothing like Nekoosa. Port Edwards or Rudolph (with apologies to the residents). I always thought Port Edwards was a queer town, but then.—ask Aileen. She'll tell you. Now to come back to the Land of Humor. I was met at the gates, at least the doorkeeper said they were gates, although to this day I could swear there weren't any. by none other than Jerry Cruncher. He inserted a key in an imaginary lock, flung open some imaginary gates and bade me enter. I started to thank him and tell him how glad I was to tee him. but in the middle of my speech I found myself addressing the breeze The streets were a maize of circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles Mr. Crosland would have gloried in a town like this. He’d think he was liv ing inside of a geometry book. The houses stood with their back doors opening upon the main street, ana their front porches facing the back yards. I could hear laughter, laughter everywhere, but I didn't meet a single person. After I d walked in and out and around and across and zig zag. and didn t know whether I was s anding on my head or my feet. I found myself in front of a huge castle. I went up to the back dcor and rang the bell. The door was opened by the King of Humor, a really roly-poly, jolly fellow, with merry, twinkling eyes peeping out from a network of laugh wrinkle servants I found out later were in this land. He greeted me humorouslv and asked me in a joking manner to step right in and get a dose of fuh. The first thing that met my gaze was a smile. It came closer and closer, and grew larger and larger, and finally I recognized the owner of the smile to be Fritz Reichel. I was delighted to see someone from home, and I was just about to shake Fritz's hand when he disappeared and the smile grew fainter and smaller and disap- peared in the distance. The King of Humor said he'd show me through the castle and introduce me to the inmates. First he led me into a spacious hall. The walls of the hall were covered with posters of Mutt Sc Jeff. Charley Chaplin. Bill� - West. The Katzenjammer Kids. Fatty Arbuckle. Buster Brown. The Boy Next Door. Abe Kabibble. and various other comic characters. But were they poster ? I rhould ray not. for as icon as they rpied me they glided forth to meet me. King Humor introduced me to each one. but just as soon as I reached out to shake hands with them they disappeared ar.d steed grinning down on me from their posters. King Humor explained to me that all pictures were alive, only mortals didn t realize it We walked on a little farther and I almost collided with Punk McGlynn. I asked him how he got there and he said: I was hit by a Hun's canrcn and it struck me so funny that I landed in the Castle of Humor. Punk, like the rest of them, was in a great hurry. We now entered another large room similar to the previous one. but instead of posters, the walls were covered with riddles and joke . Mr. Riddle came to greet me. Mr. Joke was dressed like a jester with cap and bells. Mr Riddle was a tall, intelligent looking man. with a worried expression as if he had to solve all of the riddles in the world. Perhaps he did: in that case I do not blame him for the worried expression King Humor informed me that in order to get out of that room I would have to solve at least one riddle. The first one Mr. Riddle asked me was. Which i� first, tke chicken or the egg? Of course. I couldn't answer this one and I told him it was absurd. He gave me one riddle after another and I could see he was getting dis- gusted. King Humor was doubling up with laughter at my efforts and Mr. Joke kept turning somersaults all around the room. Finally. I answered the simple one of. What goes up when the rain comes down? Mr. Joke then came up to me with a plate full of well, he said they were puns, but I said they were buns. But I’d no .looner helped myself to them when they turned into a pun. Now isn't tnat a joke? Here are lome of them. What kind of a cake is a hammer? A pound cake What kind of cake is a farmer?” A hoe cake. What kind of a cake is a dy peptic man' Why. stomach ache. What kind of a cake is a pretty milkmaid?” She's a cream cake. What kind of a cake is a red headed girl? She's a ginger cake. I was just won- dering whether I'd ever get to the end when I was startled by a very unusual noise King Humor hurried me off. informing me that it was time for dinner Everyone was hurrying and tumbling over one another in the mad rush to the dining room door. The door, by the wav. was one of those revolving affairs and the more they hurried, the faster the door would spin around, and the harder I laughed. Finallv. we all succeeded in squeezing through. In the cen- ter of the room was an enormous round table There were no chairs, but we all stood around the table until the King of Humor said. Be seated. Have and behold' We were sitting on chairs Oh. I forgot to tell you that before we were seated King Humor introduced me to Queen Humor. She also was a short fat woman Just as jolly and mischievous looking as she could be The table was a revolving one. and everyone made a grab for anything and everything he could get a hold of. I'm sure I couldn't have existed on this catch or don't eat” method verv long. No one knew what he was eating as each one got only a little This, of course, had its good points, as no one could complain of anything or ask for a second helping. Finally, the table stood still and hot air was served for de sert. Everyone but myself seemed to enjoy it immensely. Just as we got through eating, the doorbell rang. King Humor went to the door but returned immediately, telling us that a few couples, namely: Beatrice and John. Florence and Paul, and Norma and Harry had asked admittance, but he had sent them away because they were too serious. 157 J 5°° my old humorous friends Sometimes I would be talking to tfom b ” d rt } •round «mt.l I found myself in a maize of looking glasses I door I bumped into a mirror.

Maxine de Philleo was talking with a few boys as usual. Then came the Seniors! If thev don't call a halt on pjffinz up. there won't be any class of ‘18. Minard de Lengthy of the house of Gaulke was absent as was Sir Arthur de Stubby of the house of Kluge. Where had they gone? Who were they talking together off thereJ We should have known it. It was Sunshine of Jones and Lady Violet Rose Boggoger. They were discussing a joke which was played on them by Billiam de Crosland. The appointed time arrived and the lists auicted and Squire Gladstone Farris paced out on horseback and announced that the tournament would begin. Owing to new rules made by King Charles I only one fingt can be allowed the first day. added Squire van Brand. The two blew a trumpet and Sir Knight Minard de Lengthy of Gaulke and Sir Knight Authur de Stubby of Kluge came from the extremities of the Hits and rode furiously toward each other, their lances at rest. How brave Minard looked! He had on jointed waterpipes for legs and as enough iron could not be brought together to make a regular suit of armor for his size, his body was covered with a large section of iron sewer pipes and his helmet was a sprinkling can with the bottom out of it to allow the entrance of the head. Small holes were cut for eyes and Sir Minard could only look straight ahead and not up or down as the holes were not large enough. His creit wai made of dove feathers (the owners of which Sir Minard caught in the Market Square) stuck in the holes in the spout. His horse had stilts on his feet so that Minard's toes would not dig the ground, but still the horse looked small beside Sir Minard. Sir Arthur de Stubby was all fixed up in an armor which he must have found in an underground cave. They met with a shock. Both lances were burst to shivers. Each made a demivolt. charged back to a keeper and came on again. Sir Arthur de Stubby hit Sir Minard in the breast with so great a force that his armor clanked like a Ford car on a rough road (which was a rattling good bargain for a tournament as the spectators observed). Sir Minard's noble horse, with great exertion, managed to withstand the shock and gave its master a chance to strike. He launched a blow at Sir Stubby which surely no one could have withstood, but Sir Arthur made one demivolt and then another and fairly landed on Sir Minard. Clank! Rattle! Bang! Swhish! Plunk! and Sir Minard was unhorsed. The earth fairly rocked when he hit the ground. Sir Minard’s horse took a sudden liking to the ground and toppled over, almost on his master and was not able to rise on account of the stilts. Sir Knight Arthur de Stubby attacked poor Sir Minard. but the Marshals. Sir Herman of Kell and Biff de Longissime of the House of Middlccamp. stopped them as the laws of the tournament prohibited it. Then Sir Kluge started puffing up marvelously. Bang! the breast plate was broken and went flying thru the air. Puff! That was the helmet. A clamour went up from the galleries: Now what d'ya think o‘ that! Gracious, will he burst? My word! how shocking! The last was from amid the assembly of teachers. Israc of Forrand nearly fainted. Yus link! Yus link! All de monies. said he. The noble horse and armour. Oh! Oh! Oh! Yus link vat a va Jte! Squire Gladstone came prancing out on a horse and announced that the victorious knight would choose the Queen of Love and Beauty. Sir Charles I of Schwede summoned Sir Kluge to him and told him to raise his lance. After nearly poking the king. Sir Kluge got it up there and a crown made of guilded paper was put upon the end of it. He paced around the lists with the lance upraised scanning the pretty girls. After a breathless pause, he p!aced it at the feet of Dorothy Normington. l.ady Dorothy seemed quite discomposed. A half a dozen knight errants jumped to put it on. but Sir Stanley de Stark pushed away all competitors and adopted that honor. Squire Adolf van Brant rode out and announced that there would be a banquet in an old castle and invitations were presented to Sir Arthur de Kluge and I.ady Dorothy and all the nobles. At the banquet there was a merry time, but as I am not a noble. I cannot describe it. 159) TO HER Out of the depth of the mid-summer skies. God choae the wonderful blue of your eyes; He wandered among His flowers fair. To find the gleam for your beautiful hair. He passed over valley and moor and dell. Until His eye one morning fell On a daisv heavy with sweet pearled dew. So He chose its gold for the hair of you. His search was then for the perfect rose. For it speaks of Love as its fragrance blows In a poor child's garden, honest and true. He found the rose for the heart of you. But the Maker's search it did not end. For the fairest flower of all did He send; They brought Him a lily of Heaven’s own hue. And this flower pure is the soul of you. MY FRIEND When God’s work on earth had most ended. And beauty was nearly complete. And Nature's rare colors were blended. And rest from His labor was sweet. The Master Workman. His work well done.

How clear it shines, how bold it gleams From out its field of white. Just one star? Yet with it I'd not part For with it went my heart Into the field of night. Just one star! It stands alone. No star more brightly ever shone From out the skv above. Just one star! Shine on, oh wondrous star? I'll leave you where you are. For with you is my love' HER PRAYER Dear God. keep him ever in Thv power. Safe from reckless bullets' shower. Keep him pure in heart and soul. Lead him past the shrapnel hail. Make him feel Thy presence near. Cease his dread, and calm hit fear. Keep him brave and worthy too Of our own Red. White and Blue. WITHOUT THE BOYS Oh. wouldn't life be a wonderful song Without the boys. These awful boys? And wouldn't things just glide along Without the e dreadful boys? And wouldn't we have an easy time Without the boys. These noisy boys? And wouldn't this world be just sublime Without these teasing boys? And wouldn't our hearts have a real rest Without the boys. These fickle boys? And wouldn't each girl enjoy life at its best Without these clumsy boys? But wouldn't we all get lonely and blue Without the boys. These noisy boys? And wouldn't we weary for something to do Without these teasing boys? And wouldn't we all become homely and cross Without the boys. The v dreadful boys? And wouldn't we count our labor as lo,«s Without these awful boys? And wouldn't our hearts forget how to love Without the boys. These fickle boys? ouldn t there be much we would soon tire of Without these clumsy boys? WHEN OUR SAMMIES COME MARCHING HOME We toon shall hear some jolly cheers When our Sammies come marching home. And see some poor old mother’s tears When our Sammies come marching home. And the Sammies will get many a kiss From many a patriotic miss When our Sammies ccme marching home. We will cry for joy when our Sammies come. When our Sammies come marching home: And we’ll hear the same old drum When our Sammies come marching home. But when the boys go marching by The vacant ranks will make us cry And bless the boys who fought and died When our Sammies come marching home. You just bet we'll welcome them When our Sammies come marching home. Nothing will be too good for them When our Sammies come marching home. Just come and hear the people shout. And hear the lazy slackers spout When our Sammies come marching home. Bertha Weisberg. ‘18. THE REASON Do you ask me why I’m merry. Why my heart is glad and free. Why my moods do seldom vary, Why I'm happy as can be? Do I have to tell you really I should think that vou could see. Yet I’ll tell you—tell you freely. I am glad, 'cause you love me. 1611 DO I LOVE HER? Do I love her?

THE MESSAGE Out of the Autumn Sky Came a sound like that of an Angel's cry. Came a voice a voice that was calm and slow. I heard and I listened with head bent low. Two words I heard, though I listened lone; Two words that thrilled with angelic song: And the Message that came from the sky of blue. As I listened and heard were these: Be True. My heart bears the Message the sky sent down. And it sings with joy and I dare not frown; So with peace and gladness. I give it to you.

The cry is not a new one. Stobaeus. the Creek, found the same thing in the time of Euclid to the disgust of the latter. A modern writer voices the same plea as follows: When the time comes that knowledge will not be sought for its own sake, and men will not press forward simply in a desire of achievement, without hope of gain, to extend the limits of human knowledge, then, indeed, will the race enter upon its decadence. ’ Slowly, however, that view is losing its ground Material value is demanded more and more at the present time: the curriculum must justify its utility - its vocational value. Under this view the dehate, the declamatory and the oration are slowly losing their influence on the ambitions of the high school student. Why should this be? The ultimate end of our English course under the new order must hie utility the ability rather to express the resultsof our thoughts more than the weaving of dreams. No course can develop this faculty so naturally or more fully than the debate. By no means can the value of our English course be more fully eitimated. The search for original matter is not only encouraged, it is essential, and the forming of original thoughts and ideas, com- bined with and toned by those of others, cannot be developed in the same manner by any other study. So far this could be accomplished perhaps by a written thesis, but the debate demands the presence of the author himself and the intonation of his voice is alone capable of driving home those views with their proper influence. It develops a witlingneis to spread his influence over those with whom he comes in contact, and the reasoning ability acquired, develop'd under the criticism of the opposing side destroys the tendency to anchor to false reasoning. The knowledge that all arguments must be offered for rebuttal and criticism is a big feature in the educational development of debating ability. Nothing can be treated lightly. The subject mat’er must not only be sound, but the style convincing. These features alone would necessitate its being retained in our activities and when we add to this the pleasures of the systematic research, the rivalry and the anticipation of victory in a battle of wits it seems strange indeed that the interest should at any time flag. THF. DEBATING SOCIETY The Lincoln Debating Society was re-organized shortly after the fall term began. The officers elected were: Frank Levin, president; George Robinson, vice-president; Ruth Wilcox, secretary, and Norbert Daly, treasurer: Miss Evelyn Hall, critic. The meetings were held on Thursday evenings at seven- thirty o'clock. Various subjects were debated upon, the mam one being the topic for the Inter-scholastic debate. Just before Christmas the society gave a short comic play at the Palace Theater, entitled “The Perplexing Situation, for the purpose of raising money which went to pay the expenses of ths debators that went to Antigo. TRIANGULAR DEBATE Seldom has anything been more handicapped than debating was this year. There was practically no experienced material from last year, to serve a) a nucleus, around which a strong team could be built This would not have hindered us much. but. to make matters worse, we lost our ccach. Mr. Wells. For a time it was very undecided whether or not the activity would be dropped. So a meeting was held of all interested students, and a very reasonable number were present. Mr. Crosland consented to assist us. and. at the last moment, due to the enthusiasm of those present, we resolved to push the affair to a successful finish. A couple of weeks before the time set. we had out teams arranged and developed, but never, until the last moment, was anyone sure of his position, so faithfully did everyone work. The fatal day approached, and Friday morning. February eighth, saw our negative team on its way to Antigo. because Wausau had retired from the triangle. From all reports, our boys did nobly at Antigo. Ostermeyer especially, receiving applause after applause, and they were defeated by only a small margin Considering the fact that our team was on strange ground and that Antigo had the Ia3t rebuttal, it is not strange that we should lose. Our boys should receive much praise for their unceasing efforts. They returned thoroughly enthused over Antigo's school spirit and hospitality. Our affirmative team remained at home to battle with Marshfield, who always was a dark horse to Grand Rapids. The affirmative was further handicapped by losing Harvie Boorman through illness, and a substitute. John Schlatterer. was prepared within twenty-four hours. However, we are sure that our main purposes were not defeated. Progress is never made by inaction. If we had dropped debate this year, and had not persevered, we would have done something that could never have been replaced. We know that we have left remarkable debating material in Fred Reichel and John Schlatterer which under favorable conditions will prove to be a great asset to next year's team. 163J Debating Teams AFFIRMATIVE TEAM DEBATED MARSHFIELD AT GRAND RAPIDS Boorman Rricbrl Schlatterrr l-rvio Question: Resolved, that the Railroads should be owned and controlled by the Federal Government.

Medford, a. they called therrr ■elves. pulled togedSr again and held the Rapids down the rest of the first half. The second half was opened by a pa«. but it went the wrong way.

Then after the first ten minutes of play the field quieted down • t was tenre and quiet; each and every one watched the players. Both teams seemed to be watched. No one could guess the outcome of this great de ci mg game. It was a see-saw game, and every turn brought yells from the spectators. Marvelous, defensive work was shown by both teams. At the end of the first half the Rapids were ahead. , , la j w j ,u® ° !nr f°r both teams; every player was determined to win or die in the attempt. Wausau tried to plav the guards and ends back, and they made many gains by this effective playing. Grand Rnpids could not. it «corned, stop this attack at the line. The Rapids made an other touchdown in the fourth quarter, and time was called. The famous rivalry was in favor of the Rapids this year. October 26. Rapids 0; Stevens Point 0 The game started by a kick-off to the Rapids. The ball did not go far for the speedy Stevens Point end nearly beat the ball down. The ball was forever changing hands, as neither side could force the other for a ten-yard gain. After what seemed more than a tug of war” the Rapids by a trick play put the ball over. The referee called it off. because a fellow was offside. At the end of the first half. 0 to 0. both teams were cheered to put their utmost strength and judgment into the game. The Stevens Point High never got near enough to the goal to see what it Icoked like, but neither side could score, so we called it a tie in our favor. November 3. Rapids 12; Merrill 0 , The fe,,ow of le m wcr received well, and told that Merrill was sorry that she was going to win the game. The Merrill gridiron was crowded and the yell-master tore loose an eruption of voices that would scare a deaf mute The game was called and the play was on by a fortv-vard run The jj Vftd j,ly , before Merrill got her senses together Grand Rapids had a touchtown. The goal was kicked: but was missed. Merrill tcok a sudden shift, and carried the tall up to the ten-yard line. The Rapids boys held their own and Merrill never raw the one-vard line. The half clo ed 6 to 0. in favor of the Heart of Wisconsin I ft half was a close game of wits. Both teams made attempts to out-do the other. The goed well-organized team work that the Coach had drilled info the Rapids team stayed by them, and another touchdown was made. Penalties were few. and the referee, for once, seemed to be some- what less partial than in years heretofore. We won the game by a close score. November 10. Rapids 6; Marshfield 37 1 he final game between two undefeated teams was played off on the Grand Rapids Gridiron Poth teams were in the pink of condition and ready JP J l jn The game was called and Marshfield started on the way to a touchdown; but she was caught in the arms of a Rapids player. Marsh- field had it all her own wav. it seemed Her men would line up one behind the other and in an overwhelming movement make n rush for several yards Before the end of the first half, several men were taken out. Marshfield played a game of fight to win. It seemed from the Rapids' side that Marshfield wanted to see how many men could be laid out by her charges. The side lines were disappointed when at the end of the first half the score was 25 to 0. in favor of Marshfield. Everyone looked for the old Rapids' Comeback in the la:t half. Shaw Hill had the great misfortune of being smashed in the jaw. The game was now defensive Plahmer exhibited his enormous strength by the way he dropped man after man as he intended to make a gain. The several double line drive of Marshfield won the game for them Look out. boys! Like a flash a touchdown through the crowd was made for the Rapids. Toward the end of the game. Marshfield gave out and it is said if the Rapids were given one more half hour to play. Marshfield would have been beaten by the Heart of Wisconsin. The second team game between the two citie wai one-sided. The Rapids' boys had no job at all to force the ball over the line. The score easily showed the second team s superior playing, for the game ended 30 to 0. in favor of Lincoln High School. (6fi) KOOTB.M.I. TEAM Fin I How— Smilh. Xoiminglon.

The Rapids were in position as soon as the whistle blew. The Alumni looked like a team of Champs, but they were soon found out. for a basket was made by the Rapids The ball passed back and forth The Rapids and the Alumni both made a basket. The first fifteen minutes was a close contest, but after that the game was a walk-away for Grand Rapids High. The Alumni tost courage and the final whistle blew, the end had come, and it was 37 to 14 in the favor of the Grand Rapids High team. After the game a dance was enjoyed by all the spectators. Stevens Point Normal vs. Grand Rapids The Grand Rapids team went to Stevens Point and enjoyed the trip immensely. As it was the eleventh of January- they went up in their heaviest clothes, because they might need them on the road. The game was called and was closely contested all the way through. The first half ended in the Rapids' favor. In the last half the Rapids came out with a rush and good teamwork. They played a quick and speedy game and lightly passed off the floor with a score. 36 to 32. not in the favor of the Normal Stars. Wautoma vs. Grand Rapids Wautoma. on the fa’eful eve of January 18th. met the Lincoln High team. They were supposed to be a fast team and intended to run away with Grand Rapids. However. Grand Rapids had no job at all to send the ball from the center of the floor into the basket. The expert shooting of Plahmer and Stark was more than surprising. The hall was passed back and forth among the Rapids and never gave the Wautoma fellows a chance to make a shot. The game ended in Grand Rapids favor with a rolling up of 64 points to the 12 of Wautoma' Wau'oma vs. Grand Rapids Wautoma invi'ed the Rapids up for a game January 25th. The boys readily re: ponded and began to play at eight o'clock sharp Wautoma showed surprising strength and nearly put it over the Rapids. The never sav beaten team turned the tables by fast playing. Johnston, a practically new man. showed up well and worked hard. Stark was covered well by the Wautoma guards, but he played a game against two The gong sounded and by the score you sec it must have been a good game with Wautoma. for that city was credited with 16 points and Grand Rapids with 18. Marshfield vs. Grand Rapids On the firs day of the shortest month of the year our old rival. Marshfield, came to welcome our school. A mass meeting was held in the afternoon and a great gathering of people came to the gymnasium The game was called early and it was a disappointment to all the spectators Grand Rapids intended to have a serious struggle, but was surprised at the weakness of Marshfield. The close guarding by Smith saved many baskets for the Rapids We carried off honors, six to one. with a rcore of 32 to 5 in favor of the home team. The Ellis Orchestra furnished music for a party in the Witter building after the game. Nekooaa vs. Grand Rapids The team was followed bv a procession of rooters to Nekoosa It was predicted by Mr. Baldauf we would have our hands full playing the village High School team of Nekoosa. The prophecy was true. At the end of the first half the score was in favor of Nekoosa The Rapids would not let this happen in the last half, for they were bound to win Excellent teamwork and several long shots put the Rapids in the lead Now that we were in the lead. Normington. running guard, saw to it with the aid of his partner to keep the Nekcosa team from shooting When the game was called the Rapids were victors with 29 points to the 26 of Nekooaa. 1701 . , Steven Point High v .

To him belongs the credit of being one of the most elusive players the Rapids has ever known. Without a man of his caliber the team could not have made ?rr°n°e”U “lowing 'j ™ w.“ great floor man. a good shot, and had a faculty of making baskets which was nothing short of weird. A total ° points are credited to ntm. which shows he was the main factor on the scoring end. Because of his good generalship and ability he deserves to be named captain of the team which represents Wisconsin as State Champions. JOHNSTON Although a new man this year. Johnston proved to be a good running mate for Captain Stark. His contribution to the scoring was not so large, but his aggressiveness and untiring efforts time and time again placed the ball where it was possible for one of his team-mates to score the count. When his mind was made up to do a thing he could generally be relied upon to carry out his intentions, and often against a much larger opponent. His work this year would be a credit to any high school. PLAHMER Without agood center a team can hardly expect to remain in the running. Plahmer has first choice on the position He had the qualities necessary |?en?jr good head and a fine eye for the basket. Outplaying each of the centers pitted against him. he was a most valuable cog in the Kaptds machine. His record shows he scored 57 baskets in fourteen games. Instead of plaving high school basket ball, he showed ability which would place him on a college team. He ranked far above any other center in the state, and his ability gave him a position on the All-State team In losing Plahmer. the Rapids loses a consistent player, a good fellow, and a remarkable athlete. NORMINGTON AsWt f.uar L Connie gave a good account of himself. He had speed, a good eye. and the necessary drive that goes to make up a winning player. He teamed well with the other four men. followed the ball well, and was a tireless worker He seldom fumbled, was always cool, and his opponents seemed to fear his rushes. He ranked high in the number of points made from guard, and his shooting ability would make him a good forward. His passing was excellent, and when one of his drives went down the floor you could rest assured it was going to eventually find the basket In Normington the Rapids loses another good athlete and a star in his position. SMITH At the guard position Smith more than held his own. His style of game was defensive, and a mighty strong defense he made. too. He used excel- lent judgment in covering up. and he was greatly responsible for many a Rapids victory. It took a pretty speedy forward to get around Bill Although constantly playing back, almostcvcry game he would cage one of those long goals which would make you gasp A basket of this nature gave renewed courage to the team. Two years' playing has made him an experienced man for next year, and we expect a duplicate of this year's good work. Smith is another who has the honor of being a representative of the All-Stare team. Every good team must have good reserves. The problem of substitutes was a hard one. but Fritz and Kluge proved to be the best bets. Fritz at forward gave a good exhibition of floor work. He seemed to be everywhere. Had he been a little larger he would have given the first string men a run for their positions Kluge at guard, although seriously handicapped, could be depended upon to stay back when so instructed Not playing in many games, however, he earned his position through his consistency and uncomplaining efforts. STEVENS POINT BASKET BALL TOURNAMENT Again Grand Rapids entered the Sectional Basket Ball Tournament held at Stevens Point Normal. March 7th. 8th and 9th The drawings resulted in the Rapids being pitted against their old-time rivals. Marshfield, for the initial game. The game was played Thursday afternoon. In the first ten min- utes of play Plahmer had the misfortune to sprain his ankle, which put him on his back during the remainder of the tournament, consequently, the players had to be shifted from their regular position. Normington going in center. Stark guard, and Fritz at forward The Rapids had no trouble, however, in beat ing Marshfield by a score of 25 to 12. Nekoosa. a team the Rapids had already beaten twice, was the next on the list. The loss of Plahmer in the previous game proved to be disastrous, although the first half ended with a score of I 3 to 7 in our favor. The plucky boys from Nekoosa came back strong in the second half, making the score (721 20 to 20 when the final whistle blew. In the five-minute play-off. the Rapids had to be content with but one point, while their opponents scored four. I he count was then 24 to 21 Our only chance now was for third place and the bronze medals Waupaca won two ea� v games, which put them in the running for first place against Nekoosa. Stevens Point did away with Marshfield, which victory put them against the Rapids for third place. After the Nekoora game. the Rapids had two easy victories, winning from Wild Rose and Park Falls by scores of 41 to 7 and 23 to 8. respectively he gamei on the final night were not especially interesting' Nekoosa outclassed Waupaca, and the Rapids won from Stevens Point 16 to 9. First place was given to Nekoosa: second to Waupaca, and third to Grand Rapids. STATE BASKET BALL TOURNAMENT. LAWRENCE COLLEGE, APPLETON. WISCONSIN J}e 'me j? the history of the institution Grand Rapids High School won the honor of State Champions of Wisconsin when the basket ,e m t00 hrst place at the fourteenth annual tournament held under the auspices of l-awrence College at Appleton. Wisconsin. March 20th. 21st and 22nd. The team left for Appleton 1 ueidnv afternoon. March 19th. ao as to get a good rest before the contests. The teams were pitted against each other according to their comparative records, the Rapids drawing Columbus. The first game of the tournament was played Wednesday afternoon between Wausau and Monroe, the former winning by a score of 32 to 27. When the Rapids lined up against Columbus in the second game of the afternoon, the outcome seemed inevitable Although securing a comfortable lead the first half, our boys were given a scare when Columbus came back and almost tied the score. A little spurt at the last, however, put the game on ice. the final count being to I he opening game on Wednesday evening between Marinette and N'eilUville was a close, hard fought contest. Marinette getting the better ol the argument by a 30 to 24 score Appleton then won from Bloomer 25 to 7. The first day's games were over, and four teams eliminated. I huraday ®ve,n,nR Rame� proved to be the most exciting of the tournament Appleton was doped to beat Wausau, but failed to do so. the score d° -j m ,he ,atlerLs ’fvor Marinette's exhibition of the day previous warned the Rapids that here was a team of no mean ability. The Marinette- Grand Rapids game was the big surprise of the evening. After Marinette had gained a lead of eleven points in the initial period. Grand Rapids came back I ST j e°i , 2ne!,.e P°'nU This was Marinette's thirteenth game and first defeat of the season As in the day previous. Medlev of Marinette and Stark of Grand Rapids were the stars for their teams. Stark secured five baskets and four free throws. The score was 34 to 25. By winning this game the home team was put in the running for first place honors. I i C Kan?C5.on final night were witnessed by a capacity house Marinette beat Appleton 25 to 14 for third place Wausau had been beaten by the locals once before earlier in the season, and they were determined to do it again. Wausau put up a game fight, but was unable to break up the superior team work of Grand Rapids. Our team started out by passing the ball back and forth down the floor in a series of brilliant plays. Stark topped off with two pretty throws from the field Leak made one Cook fouled and Stark made the basket Another basket and then a foul on the part of Stark placed two more points on the Grand Rapids score card and one on the Wausau board. Plahmcr managed to place two baskets from the field and Smith and Johnston each made a baiket Meanwhile personal fouls on the part of Stark. Smith and Normington. enabled Hess to drop three free throws through the baiket. I he first half ended 17 to 7. Leak of Wausau started the second half of the championship game by making one of ti e finest shots of the tournament, from the middle of the floor. The playing of Wausau showed deermination to hold down the Rapids end of the score. Hess put up a stellar game although outplayed by Plahmer. The game ended 27 to 15 with Grand Rapids in the lead and Champions of Wisconsin The hoodoo of the bronze medals had been broken! Immcdia ely after the last game the trophies were presented. The Championship trophy which we received was a beautiful silver basket ball (regu- la ion size), appropriately engraved, and mounted on a six-inch pedestal When this was presented Captain Stark responded with a lengthy ( )speech. followed bv a few words from the Coach A large banner also went to the winner, and each member of the team received a gold watch fob. Wausau, for second place, received a banner and silver watch fobs, and Marinette took the bronze. Columbus was awarded the banner for appearance and conduct. • rsr a or address preparatory to the giving out of the prizes. Dean F. V. Evans, chairman of the athletic council of the college, said Of the fourteen tournaments which have been played here in Appleton. I consider this to have been by far the most successful. I think that all of the teams may be complimented on their splendid fighting spirit and their good sportsmanship in evidence during the entire tournament.

AN ESSAY ON FEET There are different kinds of feet. Most people have two feet. Some feet are twelve inches long while others are of assorted sizes and shapes. Some people complain of their feet being rore. while still others say they have cold feet. Athletes, like our basket ball boys, perform wonderful feats and become champions. This feat, bv the way. is another kind of feat. Most animals have four feet and some use their fore feet to great advantage. The squirrel, for instance, uses his fore feet to hold nuts in while he cracks them. We also have feet in poetry. All poets are acquainted with the=e kinds of feet and find it hard to get along without them. Our basket ball bovs know a great deal about feet this year, but they don't know defeat. We are all glad that we have feet, because if we didn't have feet we would not know how to walk. 1 wouldn't want to be an angel. For angels have to sing: 1 would rather be a Senior. And never do a thing. —Harold Hill.

With a silly grin from ear to mouth Which makes him look like going south. He is six foot two in his stockirg feet. With skin resembling an old bed sheet: His hair is black, and his eyes are blue. Which makes him look like a genuine Jew. His ears! oh. jiminvf what a sight! They are long and lean and just skin tight. They look as if they were bound for flight To Europe, to stay till after the fight His poor skinny chin and his nose both meet. Which reminds me of his number 10 feet. Please do not think he is to blame. We all must take him the way he came. John Hasselcr.

I sure made a hit w'-en I struck this town You ought to see the way the girls all looked at me Kirk is I ere too. The game last night was pretty good.

We made them believe we were college fellows and we took them up in the boys' dormitory to sort o show em around the place, and dog on it! we got lost and had to ring to bave 'em take us out of the rr.are. Pelicve me! that’s some dormitory. I'll tell you a joke on Kirk: don't let on who told you. though. Some of the fellows introduced him to a classy little Jane on the campus and Kirk fell right away He thought she belonged to some aorority. Rata bita pic or something like that, and Kirk thought he was in fine and took her out to dinner and then to the basket ball game and when it was all over he began to walk toward the campus, but she said, Oh.

I'll write you all about the game tonight. These girls here sure are classy ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN All letter� must be addressed to Mias U. R Crazy, with a tramped envelope enclosed. My Dear Misa Crazy: I am a young boy in Lincoln High School and am in love with a young lady who goes to school in the same building. Wc think an awful lot of each other and are together constantly What I want to know is this Should I walk as far as the porch with her when I take her home, or stop at the gate? My Dear J. H.; Y°U - J H Your letter received. Allow me to congratulate you on your perfect hnvlish. I see the results of excellent training. Now as to your question I appreciate the situation per- fectly and think I may be able to offer some valuable advice. If the voung lady 's father has invested in a good watch dog I would advise that you stop at the gate, otherwise it would be perfectly proper to accompany her to the bottom step of the porch Hoping I may be of help to you again. I am. Very truly yours. a rv m Miss U. R. Crazy. My Dear Miss Crazy I am a young girl very much in love. 1 am considered beautiful, especially by one boy two hours my senior I have seen him talking to another girl twice this week and I want to ask you whether this is a sign that he is in love with her. He has made me think that he cares deeply for me; he sharpened my pencil once and picked up a book which 1 dropped and tipped his fat to me when 1 met him down town on the bridge last 1 ueaday at five and a half minutes to six All these are expres sions of his real love for me. I think, don't you Yet what docs he mean by talking to any rival Bright Eyes. Enght Eyes: Yes. I am sure from what you have said that he is in love with you. ou see men are peculiar animals and iust when we women think that they are most indifferent is when they are most deeply in love Don't worry your pretty head (you said you are beautiful) about him because I know there is no doubt as to his real feeling for you. No man ever tips his hat to a woman unless he is in love with her. But if you are not satis- fied with what I have said. I would offer you this advice It has never failed to produce the desired effect. If you are not sure concerning his love, then try this. It never fails. Ask him. I am always glad to aid in these vital problems of the heart, so do not fail to call on me again. Very truly yours. U. R. Crazy. OUR FUTURE WHO’S WHOSE Florence Weeks Pail Arpin.
