A. had won, He too had learned to wield a gun, Down at Marquette 8. A. T. C. He did his bit for victory. AYLWARD SCHNABEL Min Here’s a long and lanky lad, Lots of good mixed with the bad, He was undecided whether to wait, Or write his name on the Senior slate. tRinutmsriwrs EEMINGLY only two passengers on the last coach of the Canadian Pacific were enjoying themselves as they rode swiftly onward leaving behind them vast acres of prairie land. '1 hese were two energetic young business men evidently discussing therr school days to rest their fagged brains. Several of the passengers were tired of their newspapers, books and timetables and, finding the conversation of these men interesting, drew near and heard the following story: “Let 8 see Jack, in September, 1915, about one hundred and twenty-five of us Freshmen trooped into the main room of Lincoln High to take up our studies for better—for worse. ‘‘I’ll bet, Vic, the senior rows seemed far far away. “Yes, you’re right, Jack, 1 ut this adv nturous class was glad of it f r we’d not only entered school to expose ourselves to learning but to have a peach of a time and the longer these good times lasted the better. Some of us fellows found ourselves immunt from the con- tagion one might judge from the long faces we pulled at mid-semester t ine. The one bright spot in that year was the “Lady of the Lake given by our English Classes. Aylward Schnabel, a lank kid, was Douglas and Helen Weeks, a girl with hair a somewhat darker shade than mine, was Ellen. Oh! You remember that engineer, Douglas Hess, I introduced to you yesterday in St. Paulf “Oh, yes. that white-headed guy. “Ja, well, he was a bard. I wish you could have seen him. He reminded me of that lazy monk in the Prologue to the Canterbury Tab's. He had on a kiltie outfit. Oh, he was some joke! The speaker paused partly for lack of breath and partly because he was laughing too heartily to continue. “By Jove! Sandy, that must have been some stunt. Mr. Sandman now recovered himself, crossed his legs, brushed back his pompadour and launched out into comment on the Sophomore year. “Well, after a long vacation in which we rested our weary brains, we became Sophomores but far be it from us to live up to the foolish ’ meaning of that word. “Umm! 1 suppese, sneered his companion pleasantly. “We sure had some time that year. Lot of the kids had a slight attack of geometry. Funniest part of it was the girls could beat the fellows at that just as easy as nothing. 1 can’t remember much about it except that we had a grand introduction to Shakespeare in English. Had to learn about half of ‘King Henry the Fifth , “That must have be?n about all you tcok that year if that’s so, Sandy. “It would have been about all the average class could have handled but haven’t I told you we were exceptionally— “Oh yes, exeeptional’y dull. Go on. What did you do the next yearf “Everything. About that time our boys were being moved South; the first draft took place: and we people in Wisconsin began to realize we were really in the ‘big game’. We started using substitute war flours anti the domestic science girls were trying experiments on war breads. Some horrible examples found their way to the main room ami we fellows, mis- taking them for either marbles or bowling balls according to their size, rolled them up anti down the aisles. “I can imagine what they were like. They told us the bread we got in the army was better than civilians had and it was punk. “Hill Smith played on the regular basket ball team that won the state championship at Appleton. He war also class president anti made us Juniors proud of him on class night; Hallie Rice, a regular genius that took first prize in all literary contests, was vice-president; Dorothy Xormington a dandy pianist, was treasurer; anti Sumner MacSwain, a football shark, wasi secretary. ’ ’ “Rather talented set of officers, I’d say, said the listener, stroking his mustache carefully. “That’s what we all thought. Knitting was the fad ami knitting bags, gay, gaudy, and fantastic, hung frem many a girl’s arm. I’m not saying they ail knitted though. You temember they were awfully bigf “Rather convement place to carry burdensome articles, 1 should judge. “The Junior girls became so enthusiastic that, with the aid of Miss Hayward, a knitting club was formed called the “Liberty I ass Knitting Flub or some such fool name. Anyhow it didn’t last very long as the yarn at the local Red Cross Chapter was knitted up faster than it could be supplied. You needn’t smile, that’s straight goods, Jack. “Oh, I Imlieve you all right, Vic, only it’s very extraordinary that a kid’s knitting club should cause a shortage in the Red Cross yarn supply. “Ja, well—say you missed something by being in France when we gave our class play, 1301 ‘The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary.’ It sure took the rake. I’ll never forget it for who could forget Aunt Mary in her pseudo-Ford. And Granite! the many hued chameleon, :«s the maid, the heiress, and the coquette! My, but the girls fell for Aylward in his evening suit! They thought that all the boys looked like Stylephis fashion plates, I bet.” “I'll wager that was some show. I saw Mae Koltcson in that in Chicago one time and it was great. ’ “Yes, but it couldn’t have been one bit letter than ours.” “It would take a better judge than you or me, Sandy, to decide that. I believe you said the boys in your class were interested in athletics?” “Yes, we all were more or less but if you called the Ikjvs interested, I wonder what you’d call the girls. They obtained iM rmission to use the gym one night a week and if ever a pow wow took place it was when we fellows played on the girls’ night. They had a team which won every game they played with other class teams. Those on the team were: Maria llanifin, Lydia Peters, Florence Bronkalla, Father Erdman, Catherine Gee, ami Helen Boyington.” “Pretty live Junior Class. Did you keep up your pep in the Senior year?” “You bet we did. Many of the boys joined the colors doing their bit by entering student army corps at Marquette and other colleges. War excitement was high and boys from all classes joined military companies, organized in school. At first j eoplc seemed to think it the funniest thing on the face of the earth, judging from the way we were stared at when we drilled, but they soon became accustomed to seeing awkward squads of ‘raw reeruities’ drill- ing on the campus.” “Tuesday morning after the first week’s exairs were safely (?) over with, we, prosj� ective Seniors, noticed the squirms of the Freshmen and Kighth Graders.” “Why, what was the reason?” “William Doudna had spread broadcast the news that school was going to close. That morning the long ‘ fiu ’ vacation was to begin. “That epidemic played havoc everywhere.” “ By the way, did you ever see ‘ It Pays to Advertise.’ ” “Sure, I saw it in Minneapolis.” “Well, that was our class play and it was one hum-dinger. Manon Matthews was Mary Gravson, Dorothy Normington was a French Countess. Herbert Bunde, William Smith and Clement Meilicke took leads. By the way we had a swell bunch of officers John Daly, Evelyn Gamma, Vernon Nat wick and Margaret Dunigan—Oh! there’s that porter starting off with my luggage.” With characteristic haste Victor slip|� ed into his coat and swung off the train. The limited made a brief stop so there was only time to wave a parting to Jack and the others on the observation platform, as the train slipped away into the West. RCTH SHULTZ, ’19. (Glmtpsrs Unto tltr Jfutitrr June S. Dear Maxine: Troubles never come singly. Have you heard the awful calamity that is going to befall our town? A seminary for girls! Guess who the teachers are going to 1h Mamie Fritz is going to 1)0 principal, only I would have you know she is called Miss Fritz now. You must not look surprised. She is a changed person. To begia with she wears nos“ pinching eye- glasses that give her face a dignified expression. An interview with Miss Fritz will not be looked u|Kin as an all day picnic. She has a way of smelling out midnight fudge parties that will be very disagreeable to the participants in those stunts. Dorothy Normington will be the head of the Domestic Science department and she is to have two assistants, Irene Sullivan ami Helen Mickelsou. Can’t you just hear one of them saying, “Mary, you are putting that fork on the wrong side of the plate. Change it immediately.” Imogene Rousseau has charge of the foreign language department and has for an ass'stant Elizabeth Philleo. Margaret Pomainville will have all the English work with two senior girls for assistants as theme readers. Gladys Fiegel is to have charge of the music department. By the way some maidens sing, 1 imagine she will have a tuneful time. Manon Matthews, of course, has signed up for position of art teacher ami will offer various courses from dress designating to leather work. Florence Bronkalla has taken upon herself the task of straightening the lily white shoulders of any “clinging vines” that may come to a perfectly good seminary for girls. To use common language she is going to be gymnasium instructor, and has no use for “delicate health” certificates. As |� eople, in these strenuous times, try to teach even “silk stockings” 1311 to l)o useful, they have decided to include a business course in their regular curriculum. At the head of this business course (especially adapted so the damsels will not discover that the candy which they are being fed is really sugar coated pills) is Lydia Peters. She is to have as an assistant, Catherine Krieger who will teach typewriting and do any secretarial work which may bo needed. '1 hat so far as I know, is to be the faculty for the girls this year. It is to open this year for the buildings are now almost completed. June 9. More news. Eleanor Chamberlain and Cicely Damon who, as you know, were assisting in reconstruction work abroad are here, for a vacation. Some of the stay-at-homes of our class gave a little party for them, and alter they had modestly answered questions of their recent exploits, such a talking over of old times as followed. You know wlmt good friends Emma lleiser and Esther Knuth were? Luck was with them. They have permanent clerical positions in the Department of Agriculture at Washington, I). C. (Wonder if that dreadful botany course has been of use to them.) The two Johnsons, Delia and John, by some misfortune, secured positions in the same insurance firms. John, someone told me, is to In advanced from private secretary to junior member of the firm, and then, I suspect, that Delia refusing to take dictation from a mere brother, will seek “pastures new.” Stella Rickman and Marie Splies are in Billings, Montana. Stella is the office manager for an advertising agency and Marie is manager of a tearoom with a woman’s exchange of home made articles as a side issue. Marie’s business became too big for her to handle alone and she sent east for Catherine Gee to come out ami help. Irene Laramie has deserted the rank of spinsters for a—I won’t tell you what, but I think you can guess. And, to cap the climax, they tell me Helen Weeks is thinking of doing the same thing. 1 almost forgot to mention Evelyn Gamma, who did such excellent work in the advanced course she took at Whitewater that she is now teaching commercial work in Wausau High School. Juno 10. This letter turns out to Ik quite a class directory. Well, the boys all seem to have engineer- ing fever in one form or another. William Smith, Herbert Bunde, and Douglas have all taken engineering work. Of course, they took different sorts but L (being a mere girl) cannot make distinctions. You know Lloyd Taylor has settled in Stevens Point and spends all his time either earning money or paying bills. Ertnon Bennett is helping his father on the cranberry marsh and ( arl Billmeycr has taken the adjoining marsh. They have become great pals. Three of our class have a liking for army life. Neal Conway is an aviator and probably has as many narrow escapes as anyone in his flying section, Bob DeGuere, a Eirst Lieut., in the regular army, and Jim Gibson, an ensign in the navy. Of course, whenever they come home this little city becomes quite a military post. I think 1 didn’t tell you that John Daly and Donovan Ellis have united forces and are running the most modern and up-to-date garage in town. I)ono an does the office work and does all the buying for their establishment while John takes care of the shop. Our only M. D., Clement Meilicke, has already worked up a good practise in a little western town. Vernon Nat wick went east and is now a cartoonist of growing reputation. Sumner MacSwain is now master mechanic at the mill; Charles Riley, if rumor speaks truly, has followed Gertrude Preissler’s example ami is on his way to becoming a popular movie stay. Carl Kluge is at present overseer of one of the important rooms at the mill. Curtis Knudtson has charge of that big round-house of the Soo line at Stevens Point. He often visits Lloyd and they have excellent times together. I was interrupted just now. Catherine Krieger came in with some news. You remember Lorna Renne took the English course at Lawrence, being resolved to follow in her beloved Miss Rost’s footsteps and then, after she finished taught at Superior. Catherine told me Oiow does Catherine always manage to hear things first,) that Lorna is going to teach Junior and Senior English here in Grand Rapids this year. As Margatet Dunigan is teaching Domestic Science here, there will be quite a representation from the 1919 class on the faculty. Esther Erdman has been chief librarian ever since Miss Schrage left. The children’s library has grown to such an extent that they are going to have a children’s librarian and who but Gabrielle Smith is to have that position. Ruth Shultz has already accepted charge of the reference room. When the new girls school is opened, she’ll Ik more than pestered. I almost forgot to tell you what she said about Victor Sandman. You are aware that after he finished a course in pharmacy, he accepted a position at Otto’s. He has been offered and has accepted a position in a big drug concern in Rio Janeiro. Good bye U. S. A. June 11. I have just received a huge letter from Magda Johnson. She corresponds with most of 1321 those who took work at the Wood County Training School. She, herself, is doing well and has a fine school out near Rudolph. Baffin Richards is teaching graded school at Oshkosh while Delia Joosten and Elvira Jensen teach country schools which are near enough together to allow frequent visits between the two girls. Maria H inifin and Ilia See both are teaching grade school in the great and beautiful city called Cnity, which is so large that a teacher never stays more than one year for fear she might forget the way out. Eva Patefield is an Meal mother. Her country home is wonderfully cozy. Oliver Koch attended summer schools at Stevens Point and has now Income principal of Granton High School. Always accompanying him is Hallie Chaftie who has also studied in higher institutions and now teaches history, oratory and anything else for which there is no teacher in the same school. Helen Boyington has just graduated from the Milwaukee school for nurses. Just guess what her first position is. She is going west with a little girl who has tubercular trouble and her mother who has nervous prostration. I think she will earn her salary. I hear the Postman’s whistle. I want you to receive this before Sunday so I must cut short this rambling. Mother is enclosing an account of our family welfare. Your loving sister, Maurine. Editor’s note: Maurine made no mention of herself or Maxine. Maxine is happily married and one of the social leaders of Madison while Maurine, who had l� een lecturing on a Chautauqua Course, is now at home recovering from a break-down due to overwork. Private James Sayles, a member of our class, in the spring of 1917 forsook learning and joined what was then known as Troop G, to fight for the honor of Uncle Sam 1331 Morris Kleberg, a member of the 1919 class, was a general favorite. He was ever ready to give and take a joke. Al- though he was always first in the knowl- edge of boyish pranks, they were all played in such a respectful and gentle- manly spirit that any faults were over- looked. On June 9, 1917, the Wiscon- sin river won another victory over man- kind when it robbed us of Morris, one of our dearest classmates. Veronica Dunigan entered Lincoln High School as a Freshman with us in the fall of 1915. Her cheerful smile; her kind, well chosen words, never injuring the feelings of others; her quiet manner and grace made her beloved by all classmates. She was with us until September 3, 1918, the first day of our Senior year, when death overtook her. fi In memory of one whose presence among us was short but was always graced with an unassuming and respectful dignity and whose association was always kindly. Her sweet disposition, gentleness, and modesty endeared her to all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. Freda Lillian Becker was born in the town of Wolf River, Winnebago County, Wisconsin, August 3, 1903. She at- tended school at Zittau till she passed the eighth grade, then attended school at Fremont for two years. In the fall of 1918 she came to Grand Rapids to take up the Junior year work in the Lincoln High School which she attended until the time of her death.

Dear Peggy: I have a free period this afternoon because one of the teachers has gone to visit the Wausau High School and actually forgot to assign us some work so here’s a chance for a letter. 1 don't dare read some of the magazines I have here for fear they might become a part of Mr. Baldauf’s library, but T can write a great deal without being suspected. I will tell you about our class, as that seems to be a rather important thing during these tiavs when thel919 annual is being prepared. How is ycur year b k this year? Because of the “flu vacation and the fact that most of the people waited until after the vacation to Ik� sick, the work has l een interrupted. Ours will be different and more interesting to all this vear because we are having a snapshot instead of a literary contest for it, and members of all classes are on the staff. It is too bad that your father was called to Green Bay just after we finished the seventh grade, for then you would be a .1 unior with us now. It doesn't seem possible that three and one-half years have elapsed since we entered the High School as frightened Eigth-graders. I don’t believe that any of us “wore a chip on our shoulders’ as Miss Doherty used to say when we were in the seventh grade. It surely would have been knocked off if. we had. Then we were either hunting in the Witter building fer classes which were being conducted in the Lincoln or vice versa. It didn’t take us long to become accustomed to the new routine and then we tried everything from pulling Miss 1.161 M a comber around the music room by a string tied to her chair to making our share of trouble in the assembly room. Like most underclassmen during our first two years we were so enthusiastic for knowledge that wo did not do much in any other line. Isn't it too bad that that enthusiasm doesn’t last a few years longer! But when we were Freshmen our boys did at least win fourth place in the Inter-class Basket Ball Tournament, which was very good considering that there are five classes in High School, and this year the poor Freshmen haven’t even had much of a chance to play basket ball— Oh! What is that! My! Ooh! that noise frightened me! 1 had forgotten where 1 am but it is only a few boys dropping into the noiseless (!) front seats from which they will try to roll marbles up the aisles instead of down. I must go on with my letter for the period is half over. When we became Sophomores we began to develop an interest in other school activities. Two of the boys, John Schlattercr and Fred Reichel, took part in the Triangular debate. We won third place in the Inter-class Basket Ball Tournament which shows «hat we were progress- ing as rapidly as could be expected. You most likely remember the people whom we elected officers for our Sophomore year. They were: President, Edwin Gahl; Vice-President, Eva Rath; Secretary, Janet Riley; and Treasurer, Emmett Gaulke. During our Sophomore year we had a class party. Most of the evening was spent in play- ing games, one of which was Shove. Then they “shovel’’ in accordance with the teacher s wishes and not contrary to them as they usually did on the stairs. After the game, light refreshments were served. We have moved steadily to the right side of the room and at last we are Juniors. Of course, our numbers are somewhat diminished for a few have dropped out of school and others like school so well that they have planned (!) to prolong their pleasure another year. Either by accident or by design the |� erson who arranged the seating in the assembly room did so rather appropriately, for those who enter High School and are surrounded by the gloom of ignorance sit on the left side where there are only small windows up near the ceiling while those who have advanced into the brightness of knowledge sit on the right side where there are large windows. This year, you know, John Schlatterer is President; Ruth Kellner, Vice-President; Lester Gouchee, Secretary; and Carol Boorman, Treasurer. We did not change our colors or flower this year. Green and white are still appropiate for although we are “ wise Juniors”, we have retained some of our Freshman color. The Lilv-of-the-Valley, which means “ unconscious sweetness’’ is also appropriate although perhaps the sweetness is mostly of the kind that is transferable from pockets to mouths. Quite a number of Junior girls took part in “Prince (harming”, the operetta which was given by the Girl’s Glee Club on February 14th and 15th. Some of them, aside from these in the choruses, were Janet Riley as (’upid, Parol Boorman as Jack, Ru‘h Kellner as The Queen of Hearts, and Alice Damon as Nannette. On February 7th, the class gave a party for the play cast in the music room. It was given ufter the basket ball game with Wausau.’ Miss Karow, our class advisor, and several other members of the faculty were chaperons and the people that had come with the visiting team were also guests of the class. The High School Orchestra furnished the music. This year Emmett Gaulke and Roy Meunier made the first team. They went to the Stevens Point Tournament and, although not very successful as winners, were good losers and show- promise of helping to make a winning team next year. There were also several Junior Boys on the famous Butternut Team that went to the Tournament. , Last night our class play, the college farce, “A Strenuous Life,’’ was given a� Daly s Theatre under the direction of Miss Ragan. It was very amusing and held the interest of the large audience during the entire evening. Albert Gahl was business manager; Edwin Gahl, advertising manager; and Fred Reichel, property manager. Music for both the operetta and the class play was furnished by the High School Orchestra in which there are several Jilniore. The onlv event which saddened our Junior year was the death of Freda Becker on January 27th. I think you must remember her for you mentioned having met her one summer in Fremont. She was a member of our class and one who will not be forgotten by those who know' her. The period is over now and I must get ready for class. Iyivinglv, Ima.june Yore.

In basket ball we have our man The girls in Glee Club shine And when the orchestra you hear Three Freshman help it, fine. And now you’ve read our modest tale Of deeds that we can do. You’ll doubtless hear of many more E’er we’re with high school through. (421 in wan Imprrsatmts of tlj£ Eighth (Braitrr EPTEMBER 7, 1918, was some «lay for the present Eighth A'8 of Lincoln High School. On that day about fifty of us, with promotion cards and books found ourselves in the lower hall eyeing everything in sight and feeling a bit frightened. We climbed the stairs and found Mr. Baldauf’s office. We presented our cards and gazed with awe on the array of trophies won by basket ball champions and wondered if ever we would bring back something of the sort to amuse eighth graders. Though Mr. Baldauf assigned us seats rows twenty, twentvone, or twenty-two, a few of us sat in the Junior scats, but before school ....s called to order we found the right places. Of course , we picked out the most comfortable ones in the neighborhood of our friends, and were finally located. Now we began to size up the assembly room. It looked pretty big and we began to figure out how many seats there were. Then we wondered about what the stage was used for, and whether we would ever have to get up there. That morning a blackboard which was stretched across it, we were told was the schedule but it seemed just like a big puzzle to us. The library with all its books and magazines looked good to most of us and especially good to some of the fellows who like to look at pictures and kill time. t 8:46 school was called to order and we started to fill out our sc hedules, after Mr. Baldauf explained a few things to us. He told us where the classes were to be, but it happened quite often that when we started for Arithmetic we landed in Grammar, or just the opposite. We had ten minute periods and were given the afternoon off which we enjoyed very much. The following days grew into weeks, and things liegan to run smoothly. In the second week of October there were rumors that school was going to close, and October 15th, we went to our first period classes, but were called back in ten minutes and school was dismissed until further notice. We had a vacation of over a month and most of us consumed the time by getting or dodging the flu. We the out before gum ••• • you get started,” but we got out safely and wer not even scorched. When tests came we were surprised that we had only forty five minutes for writing them, but after our three weeks tests we knew what to expect. Then can e our six weeks tests and ,ards We were startled at the marks. After Christmas vacation we had cur final exams which lasted an hour each. We sat in the Sophomore seats and tried to make believe we were laughing at those green eighth graders. Most of us were promoted in everything and are now •w the Eighth A, and are enjoying school very much. We all expec t to be full fledged Freshmen next fall and we hope to Ik the best class that ever graduated from Lincoln High. Watch out for the graduating class of 1923. EMERSON PERRODIN, ’23. SCHOOL! SCHOOL! SCHOOL! I got up in the morning feeling out of sorts, I was blue and depressed ami had many troubles, I was short of brains and long on nonsensation, The lessons for the day seemed too much for me, I reached the main room in an ill humor. But when Mr. Baldauf, said, “There’ll he no school for they’ve all got the flu.” My troubles ended. HELEN PETERS ’21. French Student: Second Stydent: French Student: Second Student: French Student: Second Student: “Au Revoir.” “What does that mean?” That is good-bye in French.” “Carbolic acid.” “What’s that?” “Oh, that’s good-bye in any language. (431 HIS FIRST GIRL AY Bill, you washed your ears once,” said young Jane Cheater as ahe stood in the doorway of the kitchen, munching a large red apple and gazing meanwhile at fourteen year old Bill who was busily engaged in scrubbing those portions of hia anatomy. 41 Is it any of your business if I wash them ten times? retorted her Freshman brother angrily. “(let out and let a fellow alone.’ Jane retreated a few steps but soon returned and aa Bill seized the towel ahe said calmly, “I know' why you’re fixing up so much. You’re going to take that red-headed Brown girl to the basket ball game, aren't yoiif ' Bill hastily buried his face in the towel, lest his blushing countenance betray him, and in muffled tones ordered her to beat it or she’d be sorry. Just at this moment Mrs. Chester appeared in the door-way. “William, did you get in your wood?” she asked sternly. “Oh gee, ma, I don’t feel very good,’’ whined Bill. “My arm is stiff from gym practice this morning.’’ “It wasn’t very stiff when you carried home that redheaded girl’s books, was it?’’ came from Jane, who had appeared from behind her met her. Whereupon Bill snatched hia cap and fled to the woodshed with Spot, his old dog, in close pursuit. Once there, he sat down on a block of wood to grumble over his all-treatment, but soon his grumblings changed to delightful musings on the coming evening. For Bill had asked Irmagardo Brown to go to the basket ball game with him! He couldn’t realize how he had mustered up enough courage to do so, but he had. And now the eventful night had arrived! And oh joy of joys, Bill was to wear his new green suit which had long tnusors and a tight fitting coat. Almost too tight, Mrs. Chester thought, but Bill firmly insisted that it was what all the fellows wore. Bill seemed to see himself, attired in all its glory, strutting along with Irmagarde. At this point his imagination began to grow so strong that he arose from the block of wood, and began to stride up and down talking to himself, greatly to the amusement of Spud Smith and Piker Jones, who had intended to surprise him when he emerged from the shed but now they fled laughing up the street. An hour later Bill, attired in his best, paced back and forth before the mirror, viewing his new suit from every angle. He did look exceedingly nifty he told himself—tall, straight, and handsone, with wavy brown hair and merry brown eyes. His mother, however, surveye I him anxiously, “Oh, William, be careful and don’t stretch your arms too much,’’ she said. “Your coat is entirely too tight. I’m so afraid it will split.” But William was undismayed by such apprehensions, and having put on his overcoat, for the evening was chilly, he gaily set off. Soon he arrived at Irmagarde’s home, where she greeted him, looking very pretty in light blue silk with a large blue bow in her auburn hair. She proceeded to put on her coat and hat and they started. But as they reached the gate Bill was startled by the sight of a familiar figure There, patiently waiting, lay Spot, who as they came up the walk arose, and trotted confidently to meet them. “Is that your «log?’’ asked Irmagarde sweetly. “Yes, that’s our old dog,’’ replied Bill, trying to appear pleasant, but aiming a kick backward at Spot as he trotted behind. At the next corner Spot disappeared, evidently not being fond of the athletics in which Bill indulged. Irmagarde and Bill soon arrived at the school. Having presented the tickets, they entered the gym and found seats near the door. But Alas! then Bill’s trouble did begin. Unfortunately they had seats near Spud and Piker, who kept | oking him in the ribs, and asking him to make a speech. Bill glowered at them and turned to talk quickly and earnestly to Irmagarde. Suddenly a group of Seniors and Juniors s; ied him and immed ately began to chant. “Oh, Billie-e-e, you ought to be home in bed—Oh, Bi!l:e-e-e, your mama wants you.” Bill looked at Irmagarde, who didn’t seem to mind the teasing, then at the floor, and then at the ceiling, where his gaze remained fixed to long that Spud said wickedly, “(iettin’ ready to make your speech, William?” At last the game began, to the great relief of Bill. The first half was so interesting that everyone discussed the game during the intermission, and forgot to tease him. As the second half was almost over everyone again forgot Bi’l in the interest of the game, but not so one, who, having buried a bone, obtained at the butcher’s, decided to find his long- lost master. So into the gymnasium he trotted and perceiving Bill, let out a joyful howl, which caused several of the ladies to shriek wildly. Bill grabbed frantically at the faithful Spot, who fled, Bill forgetting in the excitement of the moment not to stretch his arms, until a loud and ominous rip caused him to straighten up hastily. Just then time was called and people began to throng out, shouting for the home team. (45) Bill quickly put on his overcoat and seized Irmagarde, who showed a desire to talk with one of her friends and her escort. As they set out on their homeward walk, Irmagarde said wistfully, 1 ‘Oh, George and Dora are going to the Cozy Cafe. I suppose they’ll have such a good time,” But even to this plainly spoken hint. Bill made no reply but hurried along faster. As they reached her home Irmagarde proudly marched up the steps and turned, “Good night, Mr. Chester,” she said ami flounced into the he use. “Good night is right,” muttered Bill to himself, and afterwards as he was regarding his ruined coat, he added, “Never again for me. I’m through with girls.” LUOILE BELL, '20. PERPLEXING FRENCH The study of French in our school, Is a subject wholly new, And I am greatly occupied Teaming to “ Parley-voo. ” ’Tis true it sounds a little strange To call a word a “moe,” Ami when a tree grows very high To say that it is “oe. ” There surely is no reason why A heart should be a “cur,” And it is quite confusing When I call my sister “sur.” When I refer to brother Frank I speak of him as “frare,” And Dad and Mother answer When I call them “pear” and “niare.” I’m trying to remember That running is called “coor,” Instead of j ockct to say “posh” That fun is always “poor.” That false is “foe” and you is “voo,” And who, is always “kee.” That man is “om” and woman “fum,” And bed’s translated “lee.” When we see something beautiful To say that it is “bow.” That sad is “triste” and fear is “pur,” And water, simply “O”. I 've learned that when I hear the erv Of “vive la republic.” Of ‘ ‘ Vive 1 ’Amerique. ' To shout the answer more concrete MARGARET POMAINVILLE, ’19. (461 FOR THE HONOR OF UNCLP: SAM “Oh! but we simply jollied the life out of him!” The speaker, a boy of about fifteen was standing in the center of a group of boys, near the columns of the American Hotel in Panama City. The hotel was situated on the top of a small hill, and was reached by a winding road from the main part of the city. From the porch one could see far over the harbor. On the bay, several launches and sailing boats could be seen, and once in a while a fishing smack with all sails set would run across the bay. The wharves were easily discerned but at this hour there were few boats of any kind. The group of boys was standing around the hotel discussing the various events of the last few weeks. The one fact uppermost in their minds was, that the canal was to be opened in three days and a celebration held. “I suppose you mean that Mendoza Trail Kid, don’t you?’’ a boy, whose name was Robert Reynolds, asked the speaker, a ! oy called Roy Compton. “Yes, I mean that Mendoza Trail Kid all right,” he replied. “What did you say to bimf” “What didn’t we say to him could be answered easier. Well, we told him that whenever Undo Ham opened a canal he always gave out souvenirs to everybody. We said he’d get a box with a bright devil in it and—” “Yes and we said he’d get plates that danced and sang and a box that—99 one inter- rupted. “That made music and oh! about everything there could be or rather that couldn’t be I’d say,” chimed in another. “I don’t think that you fellows are very good scouts, if you promise things that can’t possibly, except by a miracle, come true.” “Oh! don’t get preachy, Bob, we didn’t mean anything and anyhow he’ll probably forget all about it by next Thursday.” “Oh yes! that’s all right to say but perhaps he won’t forget, then Uncle Ham will be made a bluff and a liar.” “Well that’s true but let’s let it go and talk about something cheerful.” And so the matter passed out of everybody's mind except Bob’s. “I say, Bob, what’s that thing on your coat, a medal?” one of the fellows asked. “No, it's an alarm clock, only don’t tell anybody, please.” “ Huh, 1 ’ll bet I can buy one with a quarter.” “Sure, you get them with a card of trading stamps.” The questioner turned away chagrined. Bob wasn’t half bad as a jollier. In truth they had jollied the life out of the Mendoza Trail Kid. He lived on an old trail that had never l eeu used by the United States authorities, and which, consequently, was much overgrown with brush and creepers. rlhe straw hut in which he lived was in a clearing some twenty miles from the place where the trail began. It was an out-of-the-way place and j� er- haps that was the reason the Hanitary Inspector came upon it, for Hanitary Inspectors are likely to come upon the most out-of-the-way places imaginable. When he first came to the hut there was a cheerful family of seven: three boys and two girls and the parents. Then a plague of chagres fever was reported to have spread over all the inland places, unprotected by the United States Medical Corps. Ho three months after the first visit, the Sanitary Inspector went there again and found a family of three, only the youngest of the boys had survived, ami the parents had just gotten over a sick spell. He was visiting with the parents when he saw the boy’s pet monkey running around. Asking where the boy was, he was directed to a pile of pineapples a short distance away. (To see a pet monkey running around loose is a serious sign.) The boy was lying down looking as if he were feeling very ill. After feeling of the lad’s pulse and looking at his tongue, the official decided that the boy had the chagres fe er. He told the boy that to get well he must come to the white man’s city. The boy objected and would not consent to come until the doctor told him that Kernergorg (Colonel Gorgas) would cure him. Kcrnergorg was a magic word among the natives. The Sanitary Inspector accomplished his purpose by the mention of the magic word. So the Inspector took him in his arms and rode the twenty miles on a burro. The boy was mystified when he saw electric railways, dredges and other modern inventions which Uncle Ham was using to dig the “Big Ditch”. He was taken to a hospital at Panama and tenderly watched by everyone, for all liked his cheery manner. He was a model patient. Every pill, and there were a great many, was taken without complaint, as were the spoon doses of bitter medicine. One day while in bed, he was feeling around and found a wire. He pulled it and an electric light went on at the head of his bed. He was much amused at it and pulled it on and off numberless times, until the nurse made him stop. That l� egan many interesting dis- 1471 coveriea. At last ho was well ami could get out of l� e«l and bo active instead of lying helpless It was during his convalescence that the group of boys of whom Roy Compton was leader got hold of him. They were all first class scouts and would not do him any harm hut they joll ed him bv saving, that whenever Uncle 8am o|«ned a canal he gave out wierd souvenirs. When he went home he was cured of the fever, hut all the ideas the boys had given him ran not in his head. It so happened that Bob’s mother and father were to lie away the day the canal opened. As Mrs. Reynolds did not want Boh to ! e alone she had Warren Holden, a cousin of Bob s come over from Colon to stay a week with him. Together they had about forty dollars to «‘blow in” on the celebration. That night Bob told Warren about the Mendoza Trail Kid and then proposed that they buy all the things Uncle 8am was going to bring to him when he opened the canal. To this Warren replied: “Are you absolutely foolish, Bobj .hist think of all the good times you’re going to miss. Jiminy Christmas! Don't do it. “ j know, Warren, but Uncle Sam’s being branded a bluff and a liar and can you stand for that!” Gradually Bob won his cousin over to his way cf thinking an.l at last he consented to do such a “foolish thing.” Then came the awful time of trying to invent anything that was anywhere near the description the boys had promised. “Say Bob, what’s a box with a little bright devil in it.” “Huh, that’s easy. A flash light would fit that description. I’m wondering what a danc- ing plate would lie.” “That’s easv, too. You know one of these rubber things, I mean rubber tube, with n bulb on one end'and something or other on the other, that you stick under a book or plate ami then press the bulb! Well that’ll make a plate dance won’t it? It’ll have to do even if it isn’t just exactly a «lancing plate.” “The very tiling, but what’s a singing plate?” “You’ve got me stuck there.” a Di _ That night about midnight Warren woke up with a fluffy something on his face. 1 icK g it off, he received another pillow in his face from Bob who was «lacing a waltz on the floor. As he pulled the other pillow off, Bob ma«le the laconic remark, “A Scout is thoughtful. “Well, who said he wasn’tt” Warren replied. “Nobody,” came the answer, “but lo you know what a singing plate is? Why, it s :� phonograph record, you chump.” , - Warren immediately sat up and took notice. “Can you buy a machine am! records ror fifteen dollars?” he asked. This was the amount left after figuring the cost of everything else. . i “Ha! Ha! A scout is observant. I saw a second-hand one at Hubbard's for eight dollars. We can sj end the rest for recor«!s or singing plates.” The next «lay was spent pur- chasing the souvenirs they were going to take to the Mendoza Trail Kid. The «lay ! efore the «‘anal oj ening, they starte ! and as they entered the forest they bade farewell to the station and, what was more to them, to a good time. As it was early in the morning the «lew was heavy and the boys were soon soaked through. The trail was very faint ami once or twice they tried to follow1 it by locking cross eyed, for Warren had rea«l some- where that you could see a faint trail easier looking cross-eyed. However that only made it worst so they stopped it. About six o’clock they reached the hut and set up their tent in the The next «lay, the boys presented their souvenirs from Uncle 8am to th« Mendoza Trail Kid. Naturally’the boy was delighted, ami at once said, in a tone of awe. “Uncle Sam he much goo«l man.” The flash-light battery was soon run down, but Bob had forseen such a difficulty and hu«l purchased five extra. The talking plates interested the boy's monkey as well as the boy, ami the ape broke two records over h;s knee. At night Bob and Warren s« t off a bunch of Roman candles and other fireworks, which made a fine show against the dark- ness of the jungle. The monkey trie«l to imitate the boys ami scratched the wrong end of a match ami tried to light the candle. Then Warren lit the fuse for him but the sizzling scared the monkey so he dropped it, tried to put it out, ami burned his paw in the process. The morning of the third «lay Bob ami Warren starte«l reluctantly for home, and, about half way, they were met bv six scouts on burros. Roy Uompton had locke«l up Bob’s where- abouts, ’ ami put the scouts on the trail. They listened eagerly to Bob’s story and only regretted they had not shared in the stunt. At the next scout meeting Roy made a motion that the patrol adopt the Mendoza Trail Kid and give him a treat every month. The motion was corric«l unanimously. When Bob was aske«l why he had gone to all this trouble and expense, he sai«l, “It was only a good turn for the Hon°r °f Unf,e Sam ” THOMAS NASH, '21. 1481 HEADS 14The human head 9 says 8mith’� Primary Physiology, “is the uppermost part of the human body, which contains the brain, the five senses, and various parts of the nervous system. In this essay, I am going to try to portray my opinion of the head. To t egin with, I will say that the human head is the end of the body opposite the feet. It is usually uppermost, except when clowns and other circus performers are concerned. The head can be told from the feet by shaking. If the object you are shaking is empty and rattles, it is the head. If it doesn’t rattle, it is the feet. The front of the head is a face, and the back is a body of nothing entirely covered with hair,—sometimes. When a person is bald, it is hard to tell which is the front and which is the back, but an intelligent person can always tell in this manner. The front is full of holes, one of which is usually very large, and from which vast amounts of hot air issue forth, while tho back is not. As a rule men’s heads are held on their shoulders by Adam’s Apples, while women’s are united to their bodies by long, slender necks. Heads are useful in many ways. They can be used as Mocks for setting under hats and mirrors for reflecting emotions. They are also instrumental in securing good incomes for barbers. As a usual thing, heads are thought of as being round in shape; but there is a legendary tale which says that many, many hundred years ago, there lived in a far ofT Asiatic country, a strange clan of people, whose appearance was v rv off. They were as a whole rather inclined to be dwarfish, and when comparatively young, they began to be very much wrinkled and shriveled. These , however, were not their chief charac- teristic a. Their most peculiar feature was a head, which, instead of being round, came grad- ually to a peak on top. No reason can be found for this strangely shaped head, but it is evident that they were not born that wav. It is supposed that they used some method of securing this odd shape, because of some superstitous dread. At any rate it can be seen that heads are of different kinds. Among the most important of these are hogshead, bald head, core-head, swelled head, bone-head, sleepy head, and head of the class. Unfortunately, of the last, I know very little.

It has two wheels, and the one wheel is in the rear of the other. The whole is kept upright by the wheels. They revolve and their gyroscopic power keeps the machine in a perpendicular position. The locomotion, as I before mentioned, is generated by one’s self. In the frame, which has a triangular piece in it, there is set in the vertex of the triangle a sprocket which is attache� ! to the rear wheel by a chain which is expressly manufactured for that purpose. There are two arms to this sprocket. They extend in opposite directions. Attached to their extremities is a small platform set on an axis, which is called a pedal. One puts the lower extremity of his leg on this pedal, ami pushes forward and downward. This motion propels the bicycle forward. For steering there is a fork set to swing which clasps the axle of the front wheel. This front extends above the frame of the wheel, and attached to this, projecting past, there is a bar which one takes a hold of and steers the vehicle in whichever direction the person desires to proceed. There is a seat for the rider to sit on when he is riding.

That’s what I was going to tell you about,” answered the first sjveaker. “Tell me about it, will youf” asked Al. “Sure. But come on. We might as well go to school now. I’ll tell you about it on the wav. They started off in the direction of Marsdell High, and Ellwood told his companion of the excitement of Monday. Must ns we were getting our assignment in Botany—third period, you know—the fire gong rang. It was just time for the second Ih� 11 to sound. Of course, some of us knew what to do, but the majority didn’t. Finally we got out of the building, after a little excitement, every- one of us expecting to see the building ablaze. It wasn’t though, and Mr. Jesrow says that it wasn’t a fire drill.” “Whom do you suspect!” queried Alexander. “1 don’t like to tell you, but we kind of think it was Cornelius Jenkins. We saw him coining from the direction of the alarm, smiling.’ “What! Not Cornelius Jenkins! Why, I wouldn’t believe that of him!” exclaimed A Then they entered the schoolhouse, and further conversation was prevented bv the constant vigilance of the teachers. The next morning Al Muzzey walked to school with Cornelius. They were at the door of the building before AI had the courage to say anything about what he had heard. “Are you going to confess to ringin’ the bell!” he choked out at last. “Of cours not!” cried Cornelius, which puzzled Alexander Muzzev. The fourth period was free for Al, so he went to the principal’s office. “I can tell you something about that bell-ringing,” he said. “I did it.” “Well, I’m busy now', but come down—sav the seventh period,” answered Mr. Jesrow. “'Yes, sir,” replied Al as he made an exit. At noon he told Cornelius of what he had done. Cornelius didn’t say much, which puzzled Alexander still more. The seventh peri cal saw Alexander Mussey, Junior, and Cornelius Jenkins, Sophomore, in the office of Mr. Jesrow. “Now, about that gong matter,” said the principal, turning around in his swivel chair to face the boys. He was surprised to see both arise. “What about you, Cornelius?” he asked, with a queer look on his face. “Why, er, I came up to say that I rung—rang—that bell.” “But Alexander, here, told me that he rang it!” said Mr. Jesrow. “Sav, Mr. Jesrow!” said the janitor, as he walked into the office, “I think I know some- thin’ about that bell ringin'.” “WHAT!” roared the surprised school-teacher. “Yes, sir. Y’set� , the gong an' the clock’s l th run by ’lectricity. an’ lsith fixed by a wire An’ I think that w’en ou fixed the clock up Monday morn fer the program, w’v you fixed this gong on ’stead of the third period hell. That’s an awful funny clock!” And the janitor left. “Well, hoys, vou’ve stuck up for each other pretty well. Now, if anyone asks you who rang that goiig, you say—‘the Principal’.” said Mr. Jesrow, as he turned around to work. WILLIAM DOITDNA, ’21.

But the worst thing about it was that he knew it. There was something girlish in his make-up. Through no fault of his own he bore the reputation of being a coward and so, though at first lw ys had bullied him, they ceased to have even that much to do with him and he was let severely alone. In this way he drifted through his first year of High School and was entering his second year when a new influence came into his life. Up to this time he had had little to do with the girls, but Clarence was just entering his “calf-love” stage through which few boys pass without casualties. Her name was Marie and it was a bad case of affection. As yet lie had not made her acquaintance but every night he carefully endited an epistle describing his burning passion and posted it in a large hollow oak in the park, pretending that she received it. For days Clarence struggled with himself to muster up enough courage to speak to her. He intended to begin the conversation in an elaborately careless way, gradually working up to the point where he might reveal the passion that was consuming him, beg her for her picture that he might wear it next his heart, etc., etc. At last an opportunity presented itself. All through that school day, love and fear struggled in his heart, but Fate deieded the contest. On the way home after’school, the object of his passion tripped gaily before him. On beholding her charms, love conquered and Clarence called with a timid voice, “Oh, say, Marie.” She turned and gazed upon him sweetly. Clarence’s mind was in a whirl. The carefully thought-out speeches vanished from his mind and all he could gasp was, “Do you like gumf” Though slightly startled by this sudden question, she answered sweetly “Indeed, I do.” “I’ll let you have half mine.” But alas for Clarence’s diplomatic offer! A look of horror crossed Marie’s face. “You look in your physiology, mister and you’ll see that I might get the flu and no end of awful things. The very idea! To want to give me gum thaf you’ve already chewed!” And she walked away in disdain. Clarence went home slowly that night. The mistress of his heart had disdained his addresses. Happening to look down at the books he carried, his eye was caught by the title, “Brooks’ Physiology”. In a twinkling, seeing red, he seized the book and hurled it into a sewer. From that night Clarence was a changed boy. Outwardly his appearance was the same but his mind was filled with ferocious thoughts. His day-dreams all centered about a method of sufficiently punishing Professor Brooks for writing that ultra hygienic physiology. Clarence dreamed of himself as chief of a band of fierce Indians dancing about Professor Brooks being burned at the stake. Again and again he commanded a firing-squad which marched the luck- less Professor to a blank wall, blindfolded him and shot him at sunrise, or, as a wild buccaneer, 1541 forced him to walk the plank. In this way disappointed love changed Clarence into a regular roughneck. A few weeks after the 1 second-hand99 gum episode, Clarence, hurrying home from school, came upon Marie and another one of her admirers talking and laughing. Clarence’s ire was roused and ho fancied that his rival east a look of triumph at him. Dropping his honks, Clarence strode up to him. “ What are you looking at me like that for?’ he demanded, his fists clenching. The other l oy was thunderstruck and angry at being thus insulted before his “lady friend. “None of your business!99 he shouted back. Then Clarence broke loose. The battle was short and bloody. Clarence was the victor and the other boy made a strategic retreAt, abandoning the fair cause of the fracas. Clarence turned awkwardly to her. Knowing nothing else to do, he produced a couple of sticks of gum from his pocket and offered one of them to her, remarking at tin same time, “I haven’t been chewing these. After a moment of hesitation, Marie accepted the j� eace offering with a murmured thanks. “May I carry your books? asked Clarence, ami on her consent the two proceeded up the street. This shows that you can never tell from the disposition of a fellow what might happen if he fell in love. RAYMOND HOY, 20.

This year our boys might well be called “Champs ' for their saeeeas in winning every game played, which was one w.th the Alumni. . The second team ns well as the first was out every night for six weeks, putting in two hours of good, hard practice every night. After these we ks of training the team played the Alumni. The High School, for the first time in years heat the Alun.ni by a decisive score of 9 to 0. It certainly was a hard blow to the Alumni, as they had a.-, fine a line-up as any Alumni team which has played on the Grand Rapids field, and they were c nfident of an easy victory. The steady training of the High School Team showed all through the game, for they never tired, but played away until the final whistle llew, giving them the honors of the day. The coach, Albert Nat wick, commonly known as “Buff , devoted the few hours of his spare time to coach the team, as at this time there seemed to Is little chance of getting a physical director who could jut in his entire time to Athletics. ••Buff” is a Grand Rapids High School Alumnus and h .s had cona'derable experience in athletics.

He was down with the hoys every ni ht and worked hard to develop a team. His task was not an enviable one, for they were nearly all new men. He not only could tell them how to do the work, hut he could demons- trate how, for as an athlete he ranked high. He had an enviable record at Lawrence, where he attended school. Besides his unquestioned ability to train the fellows, his gentlemanly habits and strong personality inlluenced the boys to stick to the right conduct for sports- men at home and abroad. As a result, never has a more amicable spirit existed between us and our neighl� oring rivals. Mr. Haldauf, we gratefully acknowledge the credit which is your due. SMITH Bill Smith, '19, captain, was a member of 191S Championship team, and for two years was selected as All-State guard. Owing to a severe attack of the “flu”, Bill did not start until late this year. He played center for us this year in the last seven games. We regret to lose him but we congratulate any team with whom he may play in the future. Bill is a fellow with exemplary habits and one who in- spire confidence in his teammates. He never plays to the gallery but in always one of the team. 158 J OAITLKE Stub. ’20, appeared on the floor for the first time, but he sure did come across with the goods. He put it over on many a forward. With set jaw lie held his opponents down to lower than their muni score. Next year, we expect a duplicate of this year’s work, Stub. DeOURHE Hob PeGuere, ’19, as a forward, sure answered his call in good shape. Bob is very clever at handling the ball and extremely quick on his feet. As he is not very big, he had to play against heavy odds. He fooled many a guard, who thought he could hold him. Bob always ap|K ared cool, regardless of the speed of the game or the state of the score. His calm determined playing may not have at- tracted applause, but his wore record for the season is a mute tribute. He will be sorely missed. SCHNABEL Min Schnabel, ’19, ran a g d second to Smith as center and was ready to go in on a minute’s notice. Schnabel played the first six games and played them well. From the fine way he showed up this year, it is to be regret- ted that he did not try out for Imsket ball earlier in his high school course. 159] wr mtwACMm A va av % MEUNIER Butch, ’20, li l not start until late hut the games he played were all in first clara. Meunier was the other forward, and played the position well. He was very fast, ami, in spite of his endurance being undermined by the “flu”, he stuck until the final whistle blew. We expect great work from him next year. MATTHEWS Here is Ixiren, ’22, small but Oh! My! T iren made his initial appearance and he sure showed some very clever work. He stuck to his man tighter than a bur, and yet he followed the ball from one end of the floor to the other. As he is a freshman at this writing, we may expect great things of him by the time he becomes a senior. MILLENBAH Bala Miilenbah, ’21, has a good record as a football player and will have in basket bail before he leaves school. Babe played three games and his work was first class. We exj eet Babe to be a strong factor in athletics in 1919-1920. 1601 mmmmmmmmMmmmwkWMtmm THE SEASON’S WORK In spite of a great ileal of sickness which put a crimp in all athletics, the season on the whole was very successful. As the team, with the exception of Captain Hill Smith, was con: poseil of new men, it was not an easy ta k to develop a line up which would plav together well. So there were many changes made until somewhat late in the season. The men practiced hard and every one stuck until the last, which showed great determination to make a good team. There was shown in many splendid and exciting games played this season, some of the most clever team work and plays ever seen on our local floor. Judging from some of the scores, it was a draw as to which was the better team. The team was small in size but this was counterbalanced by their speed. As most all the men arc new, and experience and practice makes perfect, we can look forward to a splendid team next year. Even though the team is not a championship team, the boys deserve great credit for their splendid conduct and good sportsmanship, which war highly complimented bv other teams and coaches. ANTIGO vs. GRAND RAPIDS. December 13. After only a few nights id’ practice, a team was picked from the squad and taken to Antigo. They were defeated -14-4 by the Antigo team, made up of big six-footers, who had played together for three years. This experience developed grit in the fellows to develop a victorious team. X K KOOK A vs. GRAND RAPIDS. January 10. Our neighboring town, Nekoosa, who aho had a small but fast team, challenged us for a game on their floor. Our team being new men and on a strange court miss -d many ensv shots. In spite of encouragement from fully a hundred rooters the boys lost to Nekoosa, 12-3.’ WAUTOMA vs. GRAND RAPIDS. January IV. Along came Wautoma with a big team and all old players, but they were given a pleasant surprise. Our team had new recruits ami was in good condition. This time the game ended 1H-10 with Grand Rapids in the lend. Avlward Schnabel played the stellar role serine 12 points. ' WAUTOMA vs. GRAND RAPIDS. January 24. The next week the team journeyed down to Wautoma for a return game but this time the wore was reversed, 20-11 in Wautoma’s favor. The second team and several other rooters went down with the bovs. They report l oth teams in better form than in their tint game. Our team played well, but they were forced to play the reteree as well as the team so to win was out of the question. WAUSAU vs. GRAND RAPIDS. February 7. All week long the boys worked diligently to be in trim for Wausau, who, it was said, had one of the strongest teams in this section. The game was exciting and close all the wav through and it was a question up to the last minute as to who would be the winner Both teams fought hard and worked for every point they made, which is proven by the score: Wausau lx, (Irand Rapids lb. MARSHFIELD vs. GRAND RAPIDS. February 14. All aboard for Marshfield! The team journeyed to Marshfield with a email group of spec- tators. Marshfield had new life for the game in the person of Lvle Swartling. just returned 161J with an honorable discharge tro,M Great Lakes, who played center and who, with Bulmer as guard, made the Marshfield offensive a success. All who saw the game claimed it to be a thriller, altho Marshfiehl won by a score of 1711. STEVENS POINT HUSH vs. GRAND RAPIDS. February 21. Stevens Point with a good team, composed of all older players, ame down with a group of peppy rooters and were looking toward an easy victory. Our team had practiced religiously that week and were in excellent condition. Smith, the only man of last year’s championship team, had been caught by the “flu” and was unable to play untij this game when he played at center. The game was well attended and all who witnessed it were thoroughly pleased. The whistle blew, and, zip-zip, Grand Rapids caged a basket. A little later Stevens Point caged one, then a few more for the Rapids, which gave them the lead. At the end of the first half, the � core was 9-4 in Grand Rapids’ favor which looked fine. The last half was also well played but here the Stevens Point team came back strong and showed up the fact that a seasoned team has a wealth of endurance to fall back on, which a newer team like ours has not. When the whistle blew, the score was lfi-14 in favor of Stevens Point. Ill RON MILL vs. GRAND RAPIDS. February 28. This game was played at the Armory as a preliminary for the Madison vs. Co. K game. This game was very good, and abo the score, and work of the players were encouraging for the tournament which was to be held the following week. The score was 32-18 in favor of Grand Rapids. It was played between Biron Mill team and Grand Rapids. Member played a wonderful game scoring six baskets. NEKOOSA vs. GRAND RAPIDS. March 28. Nekoosa came down for a return game. They did not bring their high school team but their last year’s team which won the Sectional Tournament at Stevens Point, 19IS._ The game was very fast and close all the way through ami at the close the score was 17-17. It is thought if the tie could have been played off Grand Rapids could have won easily. It was late and Nekoosa wanted to make the last car, so the score was left a tie. ST KVENS POINT TOG RN A M ENT March tf-7-S. At the Sectional Tournament which was held at Stevens Point, the team surpassed all expectations, and for a while it looked as though they were going to take first place, but as this tournament always was a jinx for us, it did not fail to be this time. We had tin hardest schedule of all teams entered. We won our first two games but lost the next two, giving us fourth place. Our first game, Thursday evening, was again?t Granton of whom we knew nothing. This game was said to be the most sensational game of the tourney. The score was a tie at the close. An extra five minutes were played. They made a basket and then Member «aged one, which tied the score again. Another five minutes were played, and a third, both sides having 19 pointr, until about thirty seconds to play. Smith caged a basket, making the (core 21-19 in our favor. The next afternoon we met Neillsville ami it was easily won to the tune of 32-11. DeGuere played a wonderful game, scoring six baskets ami several free throws. Also our guards, Stub Gaulke and Loren Matthews played rings around their men. The evening of the same day came the Antigo game, which was witnessed bv a number of our students and faculty. The game was fast tin first half ami ended 11-9 in Antigo’s favor. Fnfortunatelv for us, our boys had played in the afternoon, ami were feeling somewhat fatigued whiie Antigo had not had a game for twenty-four hours. Due to these conditions the game ended in Antigo’s favor 31-13. Saturday our last game was played against Wau au. This contest was nip and tuck, and each team fought fast and furious1} to win. Wausau was lucky enough to secure a basket just before the whistle blew which decided the struggle their victory, 23-21.

School spirit, in its fullest sense, means the vim, the support and the interest we give to any school activity. We know what it is. Let’s live up to it. Take a basket ball game for instance. This is the attitude taken. “Well, T went to the last basketball game, so I guess I won’t go to this one.” To sit back and push our responsibilities on to the next person is not school spirit by a by means. School spirit ought to In shown, not only in immediate school activities such as basketball, football, and debating, but also in our pride for the school and grounds. Let s eliminate the undesirable and non-essential foot paths and the “ waste-papery “ corners of the school yard. Avoid a spirit of carping criticism. If we compare L. II. S. with any other school, let it be with an effort to improve not to knock our school. It’s the attitude of the individual students more than anything else which establishes the reputation of the school. Notice something else about school spirit, or the lack of it. It is more and more noticeable at every mass meeting. Only the Freshman and Eighth Graders are slammed as lacking in school spirit. Does not this phrase sound familiar to you—“How do you expect the boys to Tin this game if you do not back them? School spirit is found to In especially lacking in the Eighth Grade and Freshman classes. Why, I’m not afraid to bet on it that there weren’t over twenty Freshmen and Eighth Graders at that last game. Sophomores! Juniors! Seniors! Hear Ye! Hear ye this clarion call for school spirit! The lack of it applies to you and me ns well as the under classmen. (651 There ha� been a change in the persnncl of the Ahdawagam Staff. The Staff in previous years has been made up entirely of Seniors but this year each elans department is represented by a member of that class. Also the assistants in the different departments are represented by Juniors. This has tended to make all clause more interested and a school annual rather than a Senior book. This year we have introduced a new idea into our annual. Instead of tin usual short story contest, a snap shot contest has been opened. It has met with wonderful success. People of all classes have contributed pictures of themselves and friends. We believe that in years to come, when looking through the 1919 annual, these pictures will bring back clearly old time friends, teachers and exciting happenings of school life. By shortening the literary space wo aro bringing in more of other activities in which our people are so interested. A Student’s Almanac, or Guide to Brainculture, is another new feature of our annual. Different people have been characterized in form of flowers, bringing about a veritable garden of flowery people. We thank those who have so kindly contributed time and talent in writing the clever stories we offer. Our readers will recognize we aimed for quality not quantity in this section. We sincerely appreciate the splendid co-operation of the Art Department, for without it our Ahdawagam could not be the grand success it is. The work which the advanced art class put out is of the finest quality and is worthy of any college or university art student. The pupils of Lincoln High School surely cannot bo accused of disloyalty to their country. We have worthy records to back us. Last spring during the drive, there was scarcely a student who had not purchased thrift and even war saving stamps. Our quarters helped! In the fall the great Victory Boy and Girl Campaign started, a great many subscribed and no one backed out when the time came to pay the subscription. We all knew that unless i4our” men were kept clothed, fed and comfortable, we could not hope for an Allied victory. Instead—we hesitate to imagine what it would have meant had Germany won and had we gone under the rule of William Hohenzollern. If any one had visited school the day the Armenian Relief Drive took place, he would have been convinced that the students of Lincoln High have sympathy for the sufferers on the other side of the Atlantic. Souvenir, pins were received in exchange for many a nickel and dime dropped into the taggers’ Iwixes. Let no one now accost our whorl with the charge of l� eing unpatriotic. But this is no time for us to give up and think there is no more for us to do. The War Savings Stamps are not all sold. The cry of “Save! ” should still be obeyed. There are more drives coming. Our country cannot afford to have us turn spendthrift just because peace is near. Let us continue to save that we may help during the trying period of reconstruction. The majority of the business men of Grand Rapids, the Heart of Wisconsin, have con- tributed to our advertising department. Seme of the ads should be especially interesting to the students and when in need of anything in the line of clothing, shoes, school supplies, millinery, flowers, candies, ete., they would do well to look over the stocks of these firms. Young gentlemen! when in need of a hair cut notice Forstner’s ad. The various cafes are always ready to give prompt and efficient service. Readers, notice our ads on household sup- plies’ groceries, baked goods, hardware, laundering and dyeing. If you are contemplating building consult Bill Marling and Kellogg Bros, in regard to prices. If you want to drive away the blues attend the Palace ami Ideal Theatres. If you are thinking of buying a car 1661 look at the different makes sold by our advertisers Ragan and Sohill. Remember, also, that the banks are always ready to serve you. YVe, the Editorial Staff, earnestly hope that the students of Lincoln High School and our other readers will, whenever possible, patronize the business men who have helped make it possible for us to publish the Ahdawagam of 1919.

Slowly through her mind, visions of the many departments of the year’s annual, The Ahdawagam, pass. What strenuous work it has been and yet—yes! there has been some fun also. It war a busy year for the Seniors. There were many activities, much pleasure, but all the while their position of diginitv, of learning, and of responsibility had to be held. Therefore, it is fitting that the Senior Department in the Year Book be represented by an owl and � w ok. (Enter Senior). Less dignified, characteristically peppy, the gay and care free Junior ( lass whiles away bury hours. Why was the peacock chosen to represent them? Tas it because of the attractive faces of the girls, or because the class is justly vain of itselff (Enter Junior). The Editor’s thoughts pass slowly on to the younger classes and she thinks of the perky little rooster symbolising the Sophomores. (Enter Sophomore). Peep! Peep! Along come the Freshmen. Their bright and shining faces will smile at ns from the pages of the Annual. (Enter Freshman). The Editor’s attitude changes as through her mind comes a vision of the Eighth Graders, for who has ro much restless energy as theyf (Enter Eighth Grader). The Literary Department is only one of the most interesting sections of the book. In it are the stories, poems, and the Almanac, all of which are written to please the different tastes. The Almanac is one of the new features of this year’s book, and perhaps it will be one of the most often consulted departments . (Enter Literary Dep’t.) As “ Music hath charms to soothe the weary soul” so with the Music Department of the Ahdawagam. Here, the expression of the Editor brightens and we know she is thinking 1671 of the many treats afforded her by the appearance of the Glee Clubs and Orchestra. (Enter Music Dep’t.) Also, she thinks of Nugata with his one and only—therefore favorite expression—Vis! (Enter Nugata). No year book is complete without an athletic department and the one, this year, gives a detailed account of all the work done. In spite of all the obstacles the boys did fine work, winning every game of foot ball and scoring almost as many successes in basket ball. (Enter Foot Ball Boy). See you yon learned person in spectacle '. We could not omit our most worthy faculty from the page of our Ahdawagam. Lest we forget—their pictures are there. (Enter member of Faculty). The Alumni section which of course is always of more interest to the students who have left Lincoln High, will, this year, be of interest to everyone. Through letters, glimpses of army life, training, and experiences “over there” will be given the read r. (Enter Soldier). A smile flits over Ve Editor’s face as she thinks of one of the m st important departments of any annual—Jokes. Do you like a good joke? You will get the very latest from the Ahdawagam. (Enter Fool).

The girls joined not only for the musical but for the social side. Each month one function was given in the form of a hike, picnic, or dance. Nearly eighty enthusiastic girls responded, and the number was so large, that eighty was made the limit for enrollment. The following officers were chosen President, Dorothy Normington; Vice-President. Irene Laramie; Secretary and Treasurer, Lydia Peters. Among the rules made at the first meeting was this one to encourage regular attendance: 41 If a girl is absent three times she forfeits membership, and n girl on the waiting list fills her place.9’ One crisp autumn day last October, to round off a hike up river some of the faculty and girls indulged in “weenies”, Parker-house rolls anil pickles. We will never forget the clever circus stunts performed on bicycles by Elizabeth Philleo, Janet Riley, Gabrielle Smith and several others on the way out there. Keep it up girls! Barnum Bailey started that way. After the eats, some of the lively 44 survivors” took bicycles and pump«d te Biron, while others climbed into boats to glide on the water to the rhythm of the music of the rest, who sat around the camp-fire singing to the fascinating accompaniment of Miss Kagan's 4‘tike.’’ In November an afternoon dance was given by the club in the music room. GIRLS ONLY! After the grand march the High School orchestra played until it could play no more, and Miss Bradford accompanied by the drum alone. surv:v d. At five o’clock, refreshments and Mr. Crosland arrived. After these we felt much better and continued dancing until six-thirty. The most important affair of the year was the operetta, “Prince Charming” or “The Capture of the Queen of Hearts” which was given on Saint Valentine's day at Daly’s Theatre. The operetta was a financial as well as musical success. The funds raised were used to pur- chase a Victrola with horn attachment and some instructive records. The success of our Glee Club this year is due to our director, Miss Bradford, «'hose cheerful smile and patient ways have made it a privilege to work with her. “Prince Charming” or “The Capture of the Oueen of Hearts' Comic Operetta bv Joseph Rundo Cast of Characters: Prince Charming_____________Dorothy Normington Molly ..........................

Here lie fells in love with n i eaiitiful girl whom he sees coming down the Milky Way in an auto. Unfor- tunately, Jack and dill stumble in the path of the car ami his dream girl is upset. Prince Charming leads .lack and dill to St. Valentine’s garden where he learns that his dream girl is none other than Molly, one of the various earth maidens, for whom he has a fondness. St. Valentine and Cupid suggest a plan for winning Molly through the aid of Valentines. Prince Charming accepts the plan and rides away to earth with Cupid in his moon bout. When the Prince awakens, he determines to carry out the idea of his dream, and give Molly a novel surprise through which he hop 8 to win her. He engages the services of Molly’s young brother .lack, and the latter’s sweetheart, dill. They plan a Valentine Party, but as she is obdurate, the Valentines are called in to wind her up with ribbons. Finding herself thus cap- tured, she surrenders and coni esses that it has always been her intention to marry the Prince. This was strictly a Valentine event. The subject of the operetta ami the day were one. The charming costumes, the stage settings, the choruses, the dancing and clever acting were a surprise to all. The entire j lay was under the direction of Miss Bradford, except the Egyptian dance which was staged by Miss Hattie Weltman who has made fancy dancing a study. Prince Charming, played by Dorothy Normington, was enacted in true masculine style. All the girls were wild about “him”. Manon Matthews, as Molly, the Prince’s fiancee, was, as usual, a very clever little actress and songtross. Helen Mickelson as St. Valentine and Mother played both parts very well. One would have thought that Janet Riley, as cupid, was a professional, so well did she play her part; and the ( ueen of Tarts, played by Ruth Kellner was equally good. The following article taken from the daily paper will prove the hit scored by Jack and Jill: “We have heard of the cutest things that ever hap|� ened but never really realized what they were until we saw Carol and Margaret. They were simply great and their funny stunts were the delight of the audience from their first to their last appearance. Their acc alone was worth the price of admission.” Irene Sullivan as “Pa”, the henpecked-husband, was a scream. When she appeared 1721 ImtweeH acta in her masculine garb fixing announcements for the company, one would believe Irene a professional press agent. Alice Damon as Nanette, the French Maid, wan very good in her part, but as a soloist in Ilie Egyptian Interlude, she lend the entire company in the range and quality of her voice. Her act was distinguished by the ap| earance of the only real boy in the cast. John Schist terer has a fine baritone voice ami sang a duet with Alice that called forth the heartiest applause. Elizabeth Philleo as Sally and (iertrude ITeissler as Jane were also very good in their parts, and Lila Billmeyer ms Coquette, a fairy, was most daintily artistic in her solo dance.

The first formal appearance of the orchestra was at the Eighth Grade Christmas party. Its success resulted in invitations to perform at the Glee Club Dance, the Operetta, and Junior Class Play. Several brief programs given in the Main Room were cordially received. But the orchestra does not believe in “all work and no play”, so a sleigh-ride party was planned, but when the day arrived for the affair, there was no snow to be seen. However, this did not stop the musicians. They hired the Philleo truck and drove to Ferguson’s farm nbovo Biron, and from reports of Bill Doudna, no one ever had a ! etter time. 1731 A STRENUOUS LIFE March 20th, was produced one of the finest Junior Class Plays ever given. The play itself hail attracted a great deal of attention, for it was written bv Richard Walton Tully, author of “The Bird of Paradise.' It was a laugh from start to finish and held the attention of a large audience every minute. “A Strenuous Life,” a farce which depicted the entanglements of a football captain at Berkeley, was ablv presented. A victim of circumstances he became an artistic liar. Jim Kellogg, as Tom Harrington, enacted this role with carefree abandon. His clever personality won the support of everyone with whom he came in contact. His roommate, Reginald Black, an earnest student, stood by Tom in every emergency.

(Janet Riley,) a quiet charming girl, turned against him. Janet was delightfully serious thruout the play. Tom’s father (Emmett Gaulke), a self-made man, and his daughter (Cornelia Paulus), an attractive high school girl, came to visit Tom at a critical time. In his latest escapade, he had masqueraded as Lieutenant Thomas, and became engaged to Mari'ii Pavenant (Alice Damon), who with her indulgent though crude father (Stanley Holberg) had come to Berkeley for her to enter college. Emmett made a fine proud father with an all tno ready comment on his son’s learning. Cornelia was loveliness itself ns an adoring younger sister. Stanley • acted for sure as though he had just “blown in from the Sierras “flush” and eager to 1761 TOM ' JAMES WOBBERTS REGGIE pay for the beet. AUec showed the poise of a professional. The auditors only regretted her song was so brief. By a trick of fate the Pavenants rented rooms at Tom’s boarding house, n select estab- lishment, run by a widow, Mrs. Wiggenton Wiggens (Arline Rousseau). Her antique dress, ridiculous coiffure and sharp whining voice made Arline a tyj ical abused landlady. Her right hand servant of all work.

The audience fairly roared every time his carrot head appeared and he exclaimed, in a piping voice, “Hut what would Mama say?” (lien entered into the spirit of the part and surely scored a hit. The real professor (Stuart Moffntt) arrived on the scene ahead of schedule and to save the situation was forced to impersonate a ‘ ‘ Frosh.’’ His protests were to no avail. He was put thru a freshman rush in which Richard Arpin, Loren Matthews and Carl Arpin (dressed in khaki) assisted. Stuart was faultless in his portrayal of a difficult part. Others on Tom’s train to add to his worries were Prof. Magee, director of gymnasium (Russell Matthews), Pawley, a collector (Edwin Oahl) and Widow Mnqnire (Martha Wheeler) who sold tobacco on the side, all of whom developed their parts well. The marked financial success of the play was largely due to the skillful management of Fred Reich el, property manager; Edwin (laid, advertising manager and Albert Oahl, business manager. The High School Orchestra directed by Miss Elizabeth Bradford, gave an excep- tionally good program of interludes. The success of the play was due to the untiring efforts of our new dramatic director. Miss Marguerite Ragan. But as Miss Ragan is a graduate of Lincoln High—we might have known she would be good.

AN INNOVATION For the first time in its history the commercial department of Lincoln High, under the able direction of Miss Whitty, sent representatives to the district contest. Of the eighteen eligible high schools in this district, five entered the contest held at Stevens Point High School, May third. Our entrants made a fine record. Student Fred Reichel Lydia Peters Stella Rickman Lydia Peters Manon Matthews Cecily Damon Contest Senior Typewriting Senior Typewriting •Shorthand Shorthand Penmanship Penmanship Place Won First Second Fourth Fifth First Second •There were only three points difference between first and fifth place in this event. On May seventeenth, those who won first three places in the fifteen districts com- peted at Whitewater Normal. There were fully one hundred fifty entrants. Miss Whitty accompanied our two “firsts.” To date the official report on the state contest has not been announced. We all know Manon and Fred did themselves proud. The contest is so new to most of us a few words of explanation seem in order. In typewriting, the students copy new connected material for fifteen minutes. Ten words are deducted for each error. At Steveens Point, Fred made seventy-one words (net) per minute and Lydia fifty-five. In shorthand dictation is given from new connected material at the rate of eighty words per minute for five minutes, and then forty min- utes is allowed for transcribing. The penmanship contest lasts nearly two hours. The greater part of the time is given over to making plates from printed matter. The last five minutes is devoted to a speed test. 1991 WRITTEN IN NOVEMBER Extracts from a letter from Henry Smith of Battery I)., 120th F. A., A. E. F. Saumur, France. When we left Camp Merritt we went to Hoboken, New Jersey by train. Then we marched down to the harbor. We were met by some Red Cross Ladle? and they gave us some good biscuits and coffee and then we marched into a large ship which we didn’t know at the time was the old ‘ ‘ Vaterland’’, the Kaiser’s joy riding boat. This happened on Sunday, March 3, 1918. At six o’clock we had our first meal on board ship. Tt took one hour and a half to feed all the men, there being 12,000 men on board besides the crew of 1800 sailors. The gun crews stayed at their guns from the time we entered the danger zone until we arrived at Liverpool. Well, that night we slept on board in the Harbor and the morning of the fourth we left about 11 o’clock. We were all ordered below decks and didn’t get a chance to see the Statue of Liberty. We had life boat drill every day and didn’t have to do anything else besides a few fatigue duties on board. We had moving pictures, boxing matches and band concerts and other amusements all the way across. One night as we were on our way, a submarine was sighted on our course. They imme- diately swerved to the right with the l oat, which caused the heat to give a lurch, which upset a bunch of tables and at the same time a steam pipe burst. Everybody had a scare ns we thought a torpedo struck us and, believe me, we were glad to hear it wasn’t so. We were on the trip seven days. We landed in Liverpool the morning of March 11th. We then got on a train at Liverpool and went to a reft camp at Winchester, England. Our first impression of England was not very good on account of the eats we got and the place we stayed at. Three days later we went to South Hampton, we stayed here a day. The next day we crossed the ’channel and landed in France at l a Havre. We then went to a place called Guerre or an Artillery Camp, called Camp Coquidon. We were detrained at Coquidon and were marched to the Town Square where we received apples and coffee from the Y. M. C. A. In this camp, we became acquainted with the Frenchmen’s famous 75 millimeter gun. We were instructed in the use of this gun for two weeks then we fired about every day for about two months and a half. June second, we were told to get ready to leave for the front, but were later assigned to go to a school at Saumur. We arrived here in Saumur June 5th and started in right away working for the school. At first we had to drive the teams for the cannons, l esides, we did all the details for the Commission. Battery F from Lake Geneva and Merrill came out to the range at Chanteloup and they stayed a half month, then Battery E from Stevens Point and Kenosha came out and stayed about a month, then our Battery I) came out and ftayed until three weeks ago and left me some more men out here to fire the cannons. Dollar Bay, Michigan. May 5, 1919. Dear “ Ahdawagamers: ” How strange it seems to l e really writing an Ahdawagam letter, when 1 fed that I ought to be with you reading proof, running down to the printing office, collecting stories and award- ing prizes. ‘‘Times do change.” 1 was so glad to hear that Miss Hayward is looking after things, because I know just exactly what a splendid book the one of 1919 will be. Do you truly want to know about me? Well, the “me” writing this and the ‘‘me you knew in Grand Rapids are two different people. Most of you know that I am just recovering from a fiege of influenza ami those of yon who have caught that germ understand exactly how “| eple88” I feel. Right now I’m improving rapidly and with the aid of Scott’s Emulsion (did I hear groans) and Mother’s excellent “appetizers” 1 expect to be myself in a week or so. What have I been doing all year? Teaching freshmen! Yes, all of my classes have been beginners. I became so fond of my one class of “beginners” last year that 1 asked for all of that work here and my request was granted. Not once have I regretted my choice, altho non I do miss the weighty senior difeussions such as Harold Hill anti Roy Normington u� ed to pour forth. Houghton has a high school about the sine of Lincoln High with an enrollment of three hundred anti sixtv pupils. One strange thing tho we have no assembly room penotls conse- quently we do not hear the old familiar, “Claude turn around”, “Florence stop talking to Paul”, etc. 1 really do miss the opportunity the assembling room offered for getting acquainted with pupils. I come to work every morning on a train that leaves Hollar Bay at half past so on and leave Houghton at four. I haven’t done much traveling back and forth this year, however, because we’ve been out so much on account of the “flu” and then when we «lid start, I pro- ceeded to take a little vacation of my own. Often very often, have mv thoughts wandered back to dear old Lincoln High and just as ofteu have I wished myself back there. I’m afraid that I’ll convey the idea that I don t like it here, on the contrary, I do like it very, very much but it seems as if, 1 “jes sorter belong in Grand Rapids. And the very ls st part is, that your letters have helped so much to make me feel that way. The “American Book Company” man, 1 forget his name, came to Houghton last week, ami oh, the splendid things he sai«l about Lincoln High School. He knew that I would In gla«l to hear them and 1 surely was. His views as an outsider, were exceedingly complimentary. You all ought to work extra hard and keep up this excellent reputation. 1 wish to extend congratulations to the Seniors. 1 surely wish that I might be in Grand Rapids for commencement, but xxe have ten months fchool here, so that will Ik impossible, but I’ll say all that 1 can’t write when 1 see you this summer. With best wishes for the success of the 1919 Ahdawngam. Very sincerely, Washington, 1). C., May H, 1919. The Superintendent of Public Schools, Grand Rapids, Wisconsin. Mv dear Sir: ‘ Inclosed find a check for $1.25. Kimllv send me the “1919 Ahdawagam” when it is pub lished. if it costs more let me know ami I will send the rest. . 1 am at present working in the Quartermaster General’s office in this city. I like to think of Lincoln High school and the ( lass of 1913 and all the rest. Your sincere friend, JAMES S. CAMP. 912 19th St. W. MY SOUVENIR The souvenir I’m taking home, Is not a German goat, It’s not a German trench knife. Nor yet a German “hut.” It’s not a brazen buckle, Emblazoned “Gott Mit Us, ’ It’s not a bunch of ringlets, Off dirigible balloons. It’s not a German Button, Gas masks or pieces of dress, With souvenirs of that sort, I juft bled the S. O. S. Bueh souvenirs are only trash. And of them I ’ll have none, The souvenir I’m taking home, Is my mother’s only son. Exchange. 11021 By ALEX .IONES, ’09 It was only a few months ago Brest was railed the “City of Sighs. And truly too for with more thousands of American troops landing daily than could be possibly cared for as well in some camps, the great Pontanazene barracks filled to overflowing ami hundreds sleeping on the damp ground in this mud paradise, the influenza exacting a terrible toll and the hospitals jammed, Brest will not be the pleasantest memory of France that many a Yank «ill carry back. But not today. It is the “City of Smiles. Everybody, from the able bodied doughboy who went through everything with a whole skin, to the mo t pitiful battle casualty in the big hospitals overlooking the bay, is one smi'e from car to ear. They are going home! And right here a full stop is going to be made to listen to Jimmy O’Hallorhan on just what that means. Most any Yank in the A. T. F. could tell you the same, but Jimmy’s ver- sion got such emphatic applause in a ward in the Camp Kerahuon, Brest, hospital the other «lay, that it fhould be set «lown. “I remember once I went to my gramlmother’s in the country when I was a little bit of a kid, sai«l Jimmy. “I romped around for a couple of «lays and then I laid in the «-enter of gramlnm’s best rag carpet ami kioke«l it most to pi« «-es, howling at the top of my voice. 1 thought I was homesick. “And I rememl� er when I first went away to school. I was old enough to have fuzz on my chin but I use l to blubber into the bed covers be ause 1 missed my mother coming in and tucking in a cover an«l kind of fmsing around. “I can recall lots of afterno«� ns looking out the office window- an«l thinking how nice and clear the air was in my home town and getting a funny lump. “But I tell you 1 didn’t know the A-B-C’s of homefickness until I hit France. That is it. Any Yank will tell you. For the fancy details ask a two-striper some time: a la«i who spent the longest year in the world’s history, arranging the details that eventually ma«le tin Kaiser hit the hack alleys, Holland-bound. Trifling details like beating .i mml-turtle at his own gain� in some Argonne fox hole, plunging through one of Jerry’s iron hail storms, sleeping in a fragrant stable with a bunch of g«� ats and two briga«les of ratr- for Budtlics— little things like that. An«l always that «lull ache, leep down, because ba« k there somewhere across the water was the nicest bed, the nicest Mother. It is no use trying to «lescrilx it. Like the itch, it ha«l to be experienced to be appreciate«l. An«l there is another thing the folks back home will never know. That ir the exquisite thrill that runs up the ba«-k of even- Yank as he steps up the gang-plank of the giant lin« r that is to take him back. Somehow it is almost worth it. The journey up that plank is almost like drowning—you think of everything that ever happened in a secoml. The «lavs in the camp in the states, the first voyage across, the month - until the Germans quit, the longer months waiting for orders home and—well here you really are. It «loesn’t seem p«� ssible. You somehow figure the bugler will get you in a minute. Or some German frau knock on the billet door. But it is true for shortly there is a hoarse honk, the big ship sli«les away. You are h«� a«led for tin V. S. A. Talk alxmt your grand ami glorious feelings! It is the daddy of them all. The l est part of it is that thousamls of Yanks are experiencing that thrill every day now. The boats aren’t coming fast enough, of course. But then no l� o..ts could f«� r the freight they are to carry, that vast tonnage of homesickness. As fast as the liners take them awuv long trains bring in a«l«litional thousands from all parts of Fran« e and Germany. The otf� « r day I watche«l a long “60 Homines Vmerican freight train pull into the Brest vanls. Hardly had the brakes ground l« wn than from every boxcar came a floo«l of arms, legs, packs, barracks-bags, everything but the heavy artillery. Those frisky lads were a detachment of the veteran Twenty-sixth Division, veterans of every scrap from Chateau Thierry to Sedan. Huskies e iring thrie service stripes an«l often as many wound stripes, played tag like school boys, an«l threw kisses to the white haired women working on the harbor junk heaps with elalx rate ceremony. Some of them coming into Brest in other trains, too—long trains with big R« «l Cross signs on them. They are taken to ambulances on litters, or hobble to “sitter's trucks and go to the base port hospitals for reclassification before taking ship. A hospital never is a pleasant place, but if you can forgot some things, an evacuation ward on going out day is about the cheeriest, noisiest, most care free place imaginable. Here is Slim of the Rainbow Division, who lost a leg climbing up after ’em on one of those last days when Jerry was headed for the Rhine. Slim can’t l e worried. He is talking to Jimmy Ilealv of the Wild-Cat outfit. Jimmy l«� st both eyes an«l both arms at Montfaucon. “Now take me, Jimmy, I was always running around nights with that leg, getting in more 11031 trouble than all my relatives eouhl get me out of,’ he was saying when I horned in. “I quit figuring on that leg.’’ “Well you’ve got it on me, Slim,” said square-jawed Ilealv. “I’m out of luck any way you figure. Hut I tell you one thing. I haven’t done any hollering yet and I don’t figure on doing much more. What 1 want to do in to go out on my grandpa’s farm. He’s got 400 acres of the l� est land in Illinois ami lie’s so old, all he’ll have to do is to feed me eggs and truck. And, believe me, the old gent is going to be busy at that.” Jimmy Mealy laughed out loud at his fancy of “grandpap” feeding him. Me was still chuckling when I left. Mow is anyone going to shed tears over that kind of a man? Then, in the hospitals at Kerahuon and Pont a naze ne, overlooking Brest harbor, you find thourands of Yanks who never saw a battle field. This one got appendicitis at Nevres, and that one rheumatism here in Hreft, ami the next one tonsilitis that has become chronic, working in the wet at Is-Sur-Tille. Sam Kubenstein, the Poland-Jcw American from Brooklyn tells you his nose trouble started when he was a political prisoner in Silieria and crime back on him in the cold days last winter at Coblenz. Hilly Schmidt broke his leg when his motor- cycle overturned while he was riding dir(atch between Nancy and Metz. And they are all going home. Nothing else matters. Everybody is happy from Jimmy Mealy to the lad whose arches broke down. Across the bay their luckier Buddies are billeted while they say good-bye to their old pals the cooties by means of the delousing bath, receive new equipment, and are given sailing cards. Then comes the day when the ambulances honk down to the pier, the troops do the snappiest march they have put on exhibition on this side the decks fill up, the big cranes sink warehouses of baggage in the big liner’s hold. Everything is bustdng, everyliody happy. Today as such a boat pulled away and the din on board was at its height, I heard one towering doughboy lean over the rail and shout above the clamor this goodbye: “Au revoir Mademoiselles. An revoir France. If I never sec you again that is soon enough for me.” March IS, 1919. Extracts from a letter from Edward A. Meczkowski, ’14. Much has l een written about having friends, and believe me, when one is in a foreign country, alone as it were, a letter from true hearts is a blessing. I have l een visiting a number of little villages around here, and taking in the sights of the country here. There are many hills around here, but no mountains, and now everywhere signs of spring are coming. I spent one Sunday in Chaumont. This is quite a city, and now as during the war G. II. is situated there. For curiosity, I visited the buildings where General Pershing’s headquar- ters are, and then wondered when the order from there would come sending me home. I ast month the Prince of Wales visited our headquarters in this village and one night Hie President’s daughter, Miss Margaret Wilson sang in the Y. M. (’. A. This week the King and C ueen of Belgium are expected in this vicinity, so you can s e there is always something taking up the interest of the Iwys. ITnde Ham does his best to make our stay comfortable, but nothing short of a trip back home will lat'sfy us, and when we get there we want to stay there. My trip to Paris was an event in itself. I left tie station at Veuxhaulies at 7:15 ami reached (’haumnnt at 9:30. From there I took the Paris exfress at 2:43 which brot me into Paris, at the Gare de I’est, Friday evening at about 7:00 o’clock. Registered at the American Provost Marshal’s office, ami then obtained a room at tie Hotel Victoria-La Fayette. Then I saw Paris by night anil by day. The first evening in Paris, I virited the Place de la Opera, the Rue des Italiens, and the Grand Boulevard of Paris. The tables along the sidewalks and the cafes and especially the American bars were novel and interesting. The police blow a whistle at 9:30 and all places of business are closed immediately. Not a drop can be bought after 9:30 p. m. However, the streets are not dead, and as often remarked, there are many people going to and fro all hours of the night. Saturday, March ftth, at 12:30 I set out from the Motel Pavilion, on a trip to the Palace and Gardens of Versailles. The palace was built and added to by French kings and Royalty lived and played there until the time of the French Revolution. Napoli n built parts of it, but Louis XIV built most of it, and left his imprint “The sunburst ’ which decorates many spots in the rooms. The enormium laush expenditures necessary to build a palace such as this (1041 one with so much marble, such carvings, paintings, and wall decorations, • asilv explain why France was ruined, and why a revolution broke out. I saw the stair case over which CJueen Marie Antoinette fled from the mob, and where the Revolutionists overpowered the Guard. Here is also the ground where the Armies of France were reviewed and big ceremonies took place. Napoleon alro paraded his armies here. Here also were the Germans in 1H70, and 1 was in the room where William 1st of Prussia was proclaimed Emperor of Germany. The Germans did not attempt to demolish this palace because they figured on using it as their headquarters. However, now they will Ik invited there to sign peace. I laid my hand on the table on which most probably peace will be signed. The evening I spent at the Casino de Paris. My first view of Bohemian life. Sunday morning I went to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and heard High Mass. The church is on an island in the River Seine, and on this island the city of Paris was founded. The building is gigantic, with sculpture ami carvings which are masterpieces. Sunday afternoon I went on a V. M. C. A. sight seeing trip alsuit Paris, which took in: The pantheon de la Guerre, or famous War Painting of the present war; the Invalides, museum, Chapel ami tomb of Napoleon. The sarcophagus in which Napoleon’s body is laid impressed me with its richness, finish and grandeur. Napoleon’s Arch of Triumph. The Arch of St. Dennis to commemorate the victory of the French in driving the Germans across the Rhine river, the Kiffel Tower, 1,000 feet high, I iC ha pelle built by King Louis XIV. The church and square tower where the bell was rung on St. Bartholemew’s night, as the signal for the massacre of the Hugenots in France. Also the Place de la Concord, and the spot where the guillotine was in operation. The church of St. Gervais, and the ho e mad� by the shell from the German big bertha gun on Good Friday, the church of the Madeleine and many others. Then too the public buildings like the Palace of Justice, or Supreme court, the Senate, one of the city halls, the Navy Department building, the building where the peace conference are held. I rode down the Champ Klysees, Avenue de President Wilson, the Rivoli, Avenue De Wagram, Rue Capucines, etc. Sunday night I went to the Follies Bergiere, and had quite a time. Monday morning I had a trip to the Latin quarter, to the old Roman Landmarks, and the University System of Paris. The Boole Militaire, Bourbon Cniverrity, and was in the Paris Academy if Science. President Wilson was given a degree of Doctor, here. I also visited the Museum of Luxemburg and the gardens of Luxemburg which cover .‘17 acres. Here also were some works of genius in the marble carvings and sculptures. The afternoon of March 10th, I spent in visiting the Louvre ami the Tuillories. 'Hie palace of the Louvre covers 40 acres, and is of gr at interest liecause of the collection of Kgyptian relics. Asiatic relics, Holy Statue and galleries of art, paintings, sculpture. I know well enough I didn’t appreciate’all I saw, but I know 1 will remember things 1 saw here tor many years. Here too, for the first time I met real Polish soldier from the front. They had on the sky blue uni forms, the three cornered caj s and the white eagle on their caps. The Polish divisions, from what I read in the papers and from what they told me, are going to Poland some time towards the last of March. God grant that the Poles have sens: now, and may the Lord lie merciful to Poland. . I left Paris Monday at 8:30 p. m. and will rememlier that city for some time. 1 rode their taxis and one horse “fiakrs” and tr llcys and omnibuses. There is one thing that is the sub- way, that is underground street car lilies, or ‘ ‘Metro” as they call it. I wish they had a ‘‘ Metro” in Milwaukee, because it beats street cars all to hollow. Kxtracts from a letter from Sergt. Erwin B. Hager, Battery D, 120th F. A.. A. h. I . March 18, 1019. You will notice that we are at Gonducourt now, which is north-east of Pans. Ne are only about thirty kilometers from the Toul sector. We left Saunmr, February 2oth. and arrived here February 27th, just a two day trip. We ar eback with the 32nd Division and expect to sail for home about May 1st, so sometime in June ought to find us at go «d old Grand Rapids. It may be of some interest to you to know that our battery came out first, against three regi- ments in a competitive firing test, which was held yesterday. We are first in the brigade. Some record, I guess. T am sleeping in a hay loft with four other sergeants and it suits us O. K. We got a shot in the arm this afternoon and all the feMows are going around with stiff arms. That makes eight shots that I have had since I entered the army. We received our second service stripe on the third of March so we will have two to go home with anyway.

WHO’S WHO among former members of Grand Rapids High School Faculty Mr. Kel1 is a mathematics instructor in Madison High School and a graduate student at the Univerrity. In spite of these res|M nsibilities, he looks especially well. An acute illness has forced Mr. Schwede to drop his work at Chicago University. Every- one hopes and prays he may soon be himself again. East Troy, Wisconsin, has the good fortune to have Miss Gaskell at home. Just as when she was of us, her personality is wielding a marked influence in the development of all the uplifting agencies in the community. Miss Snow is to remain in the Milwaukee schools, where she has a congenial position. Sioux Falls will have Miss Post on the faculty again next year. Dr. Fremont Chandler was graduated from Harvard and is an interne in New York City. The Misses Alice Reynolds and Lillie Johnson have held government positions in Wash- ington, I). (’., for nearly a year. In fact, the Capitol has been considerable of a rendezvous for our former faculty. Miss Johnson has been granted three months leave by the government and has just returned to Douglas, Wyoming to teach the rest of the year. Washington, D. C., has been the residence of Enid Saecker White for some time. Although her young non, Gary, monojadizes most of her time, she is never too busy to receive her Grand Rapids friends. Mrs. Harry Ewens (Miss M. L. Holmes) has l � en a wanderer, and has visited from Mil v.aukee to Washington and in between. Those who have seen her say she never looked better. Miss Lower is of the Home Economics department of Kent Normal, Ohio. She had a severe attack of Flu but is herself again. Miss I angenberg changed from Des Moines, to Minneapolis this year. From all accounts she has thoroughly enjoyed the new location. Miss Kitto, who has taught in Houghton this year, has accepted a very flattering offer as head of English Department of Stevens Point High School. The next best thing to having her here is to have her so near. [107] Mr� . Noel Monroe (Miss Grane) expect� to visit Grand Rapid� this spring, and when she come� you all can visit with her ami hear what she’s been doing since she left us. Miss Rost, now Mrs. George N. Arpin, is filling a big place in the community life of Albert l ea, Minnesota, where her husband is an instructor in the Normal School and is connected with a dredging proposition. Mr. Raymond Kittell still makes Grand Rapids his home, and is connected with the L. A. DeGuere Engineering firm. Buffalo, N. Y., is the residence of two of our one time faculty. Mrs. Clark Heritage (Miss Mac Beth) does not neglect her music though she is a busy homekeeper. She and Mrs. ,|os. W. Swearing (Miss Catlett) have met and are becoming warm friends. Mrs. Swearing is eager for anyone visiting Buffalo to come to see her. Lieut. Harry Merritt is still in service according to last reports, as are also Wm. Knoelk anil L. L. Maurer. Mr. Harry Brown has been helping with recreation work in one of the Camps near Boston. At last accounts, Corp. Eugene Stinebaugh was training some negro t roopers. Mrs. Chas. Fenton (Miss Fern Prayer) has been in Denver for recuperation following a serious motor accident. Mr. C. H. McCroc.ken is writing insurance these day?. At last accounts. Miss Rhoda Diek was of the Home Economics Department of Ohio University. Mesdames Parrish, 1). Waters, Ruckle, and H. Demitz, formerly the Misses Haley, Asher, Bern if, and Brahany, lend their enthusiastic support to Lincoln High as in the days when they were part of it. Mr. Ernest Geltch, though still at Wales Sanatorium, is improving. The Hall sisters, Mrs. Roy Arnett and Mrs. Sidney Pell, are together almost every week end. The Arnetts are living in Appleton, while the Pells both teach in Oshkosh High School. The director of Manual Training Department of Stevens Point Normal is our highly respected, Victor E. Thompson. He’d appreciate a call from Grand Rapids friends. Mr. and Mrs. Steinfeldt, the latter a sister of Miss Louise Kies, and their twin children live in Green Bay. Miss Martha Murray teaches commercial work at River Palls, Wisconsin. We wonder if she ever sees the busy county superintendent of Jackson County, Miss Mae Bardie. Miss Emma Rogers had a long “flu” vacation at Ashland and will teach over time to make it up. Mr. Cyril Gardner has been an army motorcyclist. On the faculty of Northwestern Business College of Chicago is Miss Huston. Mira Alice Adams lives at home and is a chemist for The Lindsey Light Company. Appleton got Mr. Bert Wells away from 11s and is still holding him fast. Miss Florence Hagan is just recovering from a long and tedious illness. We trust by September, she Ml | � able to return to her position in Duluth. Mr. Guy Ehart is Principal of Stevens Point Continuation School. Since his marriage, he’s seldom seen in Grand Rapids. Miss Purle Lantz hasn’t forgotten us even though she is far away. She has a lucrative but comparatively easy porition in a town just out of Columbus, and spends most of her spare time enjoying the advantages of the metropolis. Ensign Abrahanuon made a brief visit here during April. Except for the uniform he looked as always. Miss Rachel Maoomber is enjoying her work at Wauwatosa and will return there next year. 110HI PRIDE This store takes great pride in the fact that its patrons are given the personal service which insures correctness of dress.
