Lincoln High School - Ahdawagam Yearbook (Wisconsin Rapids, WI)

Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1920 volume:

FOREWORD We set down naught in malice or ill-will, In hate or rancor; but we ve hoped to fill Our book with that which makes a school worth while In work or play, and quips to make you smile. We’ve tried to hold a mirror up to Lincoln high To see ourselves as you who pass us by. Buy when the years have all too swiftly flown And others do this work, and us unknown, This book will be to us most hallowed ground Whereon our own lost youth again is found.

Wo soon shall bo Freshmen again in Life, the University of Experience. In looking forward we also look backward to our “green and salad ’' days as Freshmen in Lincoln High. We came in 1916, and the fourth year was then too far off for us to give ourselves the dignified title of “Class of 1920.” How we smile now when we think of that first day of school! But to us it was a red letter day of our existence. How we crowded into the wrong classrooms like sheep into the wrong pens that first day! We heard ourselves alluded to as “green” by the upper classmen. The jest may have hurt then but we know now that all “green things grow.” Surely “green things do grow,” for the first year was a year of development. WTe gleaned knowledge from books, we learned from our elders in the school of democracy, ami at the end of the first nine months of work and play in Lincoln High we wanted to measure our mental stature, for we knew we were taller. We held our heads a bit higher when, the following September, we returned. As Freshmen we had to “look up and not down”—now we could look down as well as up, and 1 ’in afraid we were quite human in our wee bit of condescension to the yearlings, for were we not much older! In their turn, the Juniors thought us conceited. But to us the Senior year loomed so much closer than before that we felt our pride was justifiable. This is the time we began to feel the real school spirit. We organized as a class ami elected officers. Two of our members, John Sclilatterer and Fred Reichel, distin guished themselves by taking part in the Triangular debate. As a class we were interested in everything. We worked hard; this year when we glanced at the faithful old school clock it was not because we waited patiently for dismissal, for we forgot time. Time sped only too quickly. Two years passed. One morning in September we were Juniors, with “bright and shining faces,” once more we tripped gaily to school. How busy we were this year! At the beginning of the term we elected officers. John 8. was president, Ruth Kellner vice- president, Lester Gouchee secretary, and Carol Boorman treasurer. A large number of our girls took part in the Glee Club operetta, “Prince Charming.” Janet Riley was a cov Cupid, and Carol Boorman as Jack, in the Jack and Jill sketch, did her share toward winning the audience. Ruth Kellner was a dignified Queen of Hearts, and Alice Damon as Nannette was delightful. The High School Orchestra, in which our class was well rep- resented, furnished the music. And we were very enthusiastic basket ball fans! Wh it Juniors wouldn’t be, as two of our own men, Emmett Gaulke and Roy Meunier made the first team. The last year we came back with a new feeling of responsibility, for we, as Seniors, were to establish the right example for the other classes to follow. This year was the busiest of all. We elected our officers very early in the term. They are; Grant Gee, president; Lucile Bell, vice-president; Fred Reichel, secretary, and Alice Damon, treasurer. We look back in pride at our enthusiasm in the various school activities. The school, at the opening of its football season, staged a ticket selling contest, each class rivalling the other in a hard fought race to sell the most tickets. We won. We are now looking forward to the party the vanquished promised the victors. The Juniors say it will be given at the close of the Lenten season. Among the other activities was the Senior stunt, “The Melting Pot,’ given on a Friday afternoon. With this stunt the Seniors “broke the social ice” by giving the first of a series of class stunts or entertainments. Two other notable events in the first semester were the arrival of the Senior rings and the mid year exams. The Seniors began to feel that they had already graduated when they received their rings. The exams made them feel differently. A great deal depended upon these exams and every Senior began to put on studious ‘ airs. The time after the exams sped quickly. A meeting was held in March to select the class colors ami the class motto. We decided to keep the colors, green and white, and flower, lily of the valley, for they meant a great deal to us, as we had chosen them in our 1351 Sophomore year. Our motto is, “ Launched, but not anchored.” How true it is. We are about to launch out in life but none of us have our definite place, or are not anchored. The few rema ning weeks will pass only too quickly for the Seniors. When the time comes to depart from this school, many of us will feel a pang of regret. We shall never be together again as a class, but none of us will forget our classmates of dear old Lincoln High. EVA HATH.

HEPZIBAH ILD E RIM WITCH, BARIUM SULPHATE, SILVER IODIDE. FERROUS FERRICYAXIDE. Our Fifteenth Anniversary T was a beautiful day on May 3, 1935 when I boarded the train in San Francisco for Ahdawagam, formerly Grand Rapids, Wisconsin, to attend the reunion of the great and glorious class of 1920. After bidding goodbye to my sister, who had accompanied me to the station, I seated myself com- fortably in the Pullman and began to muse over the coming reunion. You all know the class of 1920, the best class that ever was graduated from Lincoln High. What a worthy name its members have made for themselves in the world! Consequently I felt rather proud of belonging to this class. Suddenly I heard loud voices, strangely familiar, coming from the platform and looking out beheld whom do you suppose? Stanley Holberg and Vendome Ticknor, who had left their gold mine in Alaska, to attend the reunion. Each was wearing a big slouch hat, huge boots, and the rest of the outfit of a son of the North. Their wicked looking revolvers [361 «•aimed much consternation among the bystanders. Well, well, thought I as the train started and Stanley and Vcndome swung to the steps of the smoker, 4 remember how Stanley and Vendomc used to experiment with everything they could find in Chemistry Lab. They probably are doing a great deal more experimenting now to get the gold out of their mines.'' As we pulled out of Truekee, I was surprised to hear some women behind mo dis- cussirg Lincoln High School days. I knew they must be friends and turning, beheld Klara Dahlke, Irene Rowson, Susan Eaton, and Lucile Miller. You can imagine we wore over- joyed to meet after such a long separation, and attempted to talk over all that happened since our graduation. Klara, I learned, is Dean of Women at a college in Pasadena, and a very dignified lady she is, too. Susan is married to a very rich but very gouty old gentleman, who spends all his money and time in California. Lucile and Irene, the insep- arables, are both French teachers in Lower California, and they surely can “parley vous. While we were talking, the time sped rapidly and soon the porter announced that “dinnah’' was ready. We followed him to the dining car where Stanley and Vcndome w � rc devouring hamburger steak and onions, with great rapidity in company with three other men who proved to be Lester Gouchee, Walter Kauth, and Erick Nehls. After general greetings wfe discovered that Lester, Walter and Erick are all happily married and possessors of vast ranches in Idaho. We all spent the evening merrily discussing old times and retired at a late hour. The next morning I was up bright and early ready to greet any who might have added themselves to our party during the night. As we were eating breakfast, who should stroll in casually but (lien Daly! Years hadn’t changed him a bit. He informed us that he had been living in and around Salt Lake City for a time, the atmosphere being peculiarly suited to his delicate crnstitution. (We always thought Glen would like to be a Mormon.) He was now, of course, en route for the great reunion. He brought dim Sayles regrets. Jim couldn’t leave a big irrigation project he was engineering in Idaho. After breakfast we went to the rear of the car for a breath of fresh air when we heard wonderful strains of music from the next car. Surprised, we asked the porter who occupied it. “Why, Miss, don’t you know dat am Massah Fred Reich el, the great American pianistf Dat am his private car. He am very rich.' Without waiting to hear more, we rushed into the next ear. Sure enough it was Fred, dressed in the latest mode, his pompadour doubly wonderful. He rose to greet us with a gracious bow and, as he recognized us, was very delighted. We learned that he had already made a tour of all civilized countries in the world, and was not preparing to spend a season in New York. At Denver, Corinne and Agnes Hjerstedt and Gladys Munroe joined our company. They are all three nurses at the large fresh air hospitals in Denver. The rest of the trip was uneventful until we reached Chicago. Here quite a number of our dear classmates entered. We were surprised to see Arthur Piltz who was now the Rev. A. M. Piltz, of St. Louis. We always knew Arthur could TALK, but never expected him to become a minister. Agatha Arnold, L(‘la Peltier, Elsie Sanger, ami Lila Swaricek, each with a demure little husband in attendance, were deeply absorbed in conversation. Ravmond Roy, attorney general of the State of New York, and Paul De Vries, member •of the House of Representatives, are certainly dignified gentlemen. Just as the train was puffin? out of the Union station a pretty woman, holding twins in her arms and pushing a small bov ahead of her, rushed up. Yes, it was Arline Rosseau. After many conquests of young gentlemen in Grand Rapids, Arline married a widower with eight children and, as he was not able to take care of all, she toted three with her. “Wiggins surely has enough to keep her busy the rest of her life. When wo arrived at the outskirts of the city of Ahdawagam, we saw what a change had taken place. Huge skyscrapers, factories, and paper mills stretched out on every Hide. At the Union Depot Mr. Baldauf was attempting to shout a welcome but his words were lost in the blare of the city band. Many of the earlier arrivals were there, besides the class members who were residents of the city. It was now eleven o’clock, so the whole party was to be taken to the New Universal Hotel for dinner. This huge hotel, the largest in the middle west, was owned, I learned, by Francis Pomainville and John Schlatterer. Nearly all of us went to the hotel by auto- mobile except several of the more adventurous, who went with Royal Baker and Leslie Plenke in their aeroplanes. Royal and Leslie were real aviators having crossed the Pacific once and the Atlantic a great number of times. I was fortunate enough to be 1371 taken over in Ruth Kellner’s ear together with Ruth Erdmann, Carl Karberg, and Henry Kwasigroch. Ruth Kellner is happily married to a rieli stockbroker. Ruth Erdmann to an eminent oculist, Carl is the owner of a large automobile plant in Michigan, and Henry is the manager of tin ictoria flour mill. I asked where Carol Boorman was ami Ruth replied that she was in Europe on a vacation trip after a strenuous winter of balls and parties as a Wisconsin senator’s wife. I also learned that Ruth Boles and Mae Whitmore were m Paris studying art. Emmett Gaulke and Grant Gee could not be present as they had attained high positions in the Navy and were at the time cruising off the coast of China. At the hotel we partook of a delectable dinner and met classmate after classmate. Everything was hubbub and uproar at the long tables. Everybody was anxious to know where everybody else was living and what he was doing. Ruth Alpine and her husband, an Albany jeweler, were seated at my right ami they informed me that “Butch” Meunier and Art Lemensc are editors of several prominent N. V. papers, although “Butch” still is fine at football and basketball. Also it was said that Eva Noel and Loretta Kluge are very prominent society leaders in Albany. I was surprised to learn that Prudence Martin has moved to Canada, instead of to Panama, and Bertha Miller and Irma Pagels are married and living in Quebec and Winnipeg, respectively. I did not at first recognize Cornelia Paulus, and the tall and stately gentleman with her was a stranger to me. I later discovered that he was her husband and an English lord of great wealth. (“Cornelia always was lucky,” 1 thought to myself.) Russell Matthews, who was seated beside Cornelia, on being questioned, stated that he was a major in the National Guard. Zuleika Morrill and Fern Peters are teachers in Minneapolis, while Henrietta Nash, Mabel Timm and Irene Wipperman are expert stenographers. Harold Heiser is teaching philosophv at a Kansas College, and Margaret Odelle is teaching Domestic Science in Austin Texas. Ervin Staffeld is the owner of several huge stores in New Orleans and Bert Margeson pos- sesses an immense cotton plantation in the South. Janet Riley is married to an Ameri- can consul stationed at Hawaii, and Ruth Witte, to the Manager of a Florida fruit com- panv. Floyd Preston has invented a substitute for sugar and is reported to have made millions from the invention. Ruth Parks and Elizabeth White are head librarians in Washington, while Martha Wheeler and Agnes Hasseler are engaged in social reform work. Eva Rath has become a lawyer, Elizabeth Bruderli a doctor, and Hazel Mosher a school superintendent. Talk about the progression of women! After our meal we spent an enjoyable afternoon traveling about the citv and viewing the different points of interest. We even visited Lincoln High which bv this time was nearly three times as large as when we had attended it. In the evening we all met at the Municipal Opera House, a vast building, for an eve- ning of entertainment and pleasure. First we were addressed by Mr. Doudna, who had left his school in Chicago, to spend the day with us. His speech was fullv as witty as those he used to give at Lincoln in 1911)1920 and we surely enjoved it. Then Mr. Babiauf now head of a flourishing Building and Loan Association, spoke and we could almost imagine ourselves back in the main room at Lincoln. Next Carol Hatch, played several selections on the piano, for she is widely famous for her pianistic ability. In addition she read one of the journalistic articles for which she is noted. Later we were enter- tained by a moving picture in which Clara Gisler starred. Clara, unable to be present, had sent one of her best pictures. The next numbers were songs by Alice Damon and Frances Leach, now renowned prima donnas. Alice married a noted teiior and Frances, an equally famous baritone; evidently they believe that people of musical tastes should marrv people of like tastes. The last number on the program was a plavlet “ The Forgotten Years ” produced by Edwin and Albert Gahl with their famous Gahl Stock Company The play which had been written by the boys to remind ns of our High School da vs, was a great success. The rest of the evening was spent in conversation and old games and the time for breaking up came all too soon. The majority of us left for our homes at noon the next dav and, as the train began to pull out, someone suggested a cheer for the Class of 1920. Standing on the platform or thrusting our heads from the car windows, we shouted “You rah rah ’20, You rah rah ’20, You rah rah ’20.” And the last sound that came back to me from the citv was that long drawn cheer. “It surely was a glorious reunion, anyway,” I concluded, as I settled myself for the long journey home. LUCILE BELL, '20. 1381 L' ENVOI The time i3 drawing nigh, When we’ll leave you, Lincoln High; But we’ll ne’er forget. Nor will we fret And cry. Your halls will be filled With students severely drilled; Their minds full of knowledge, And thinking of college, Interest not killed.

Secretary Ireasurer A Chatty Chronicle BY EUNICE FULLER AND MARGARET McGLYNN “Well, our Junior year is nearly over and we have just one short year left,” sighed Hortense as she sat visiting with Gwendolyn. “Yes, but I am not so very sorry, are you? It certainly does seem as though we are going through at a pretty fast rate,” said Gwendolyn. “I remember when we were eighth graders and how wonderful we thought the high school was; then when we were Fresh- men and thought we were so wise. We had quite a few of our members in the Glee Club and Orchestra even then.” “Oh, but when we were Sophomores; don’t you remember that party we gave and how much fun everyone had?” asked Hortense, laughing at the memory of the good time. “Sure I do,” answered Gwendolyn. “We elected class officers that year, too. Let see, Carl Arpin was our president, Russell LeRoux was vice-president, Helen Peters wa3 treasurer, and our secretary was Alvin Reiland. We surely did have fun that year.” “Yes, we did,” agreed Hortense; “but we really didn’t shine until this year. Don’t you remember that crazy stunt we gave?” Gwendolyn laughed and answered, “Why, of course T do. Jii9t as if anyone could ever forget those boys, dressed up in girls clothes and singing that sentimental song; or Margaret Johnson as an old maid. Wasn’t she perfectly killing?” “She sure was, and she was fine in the Junior Class Play, too,” replied Hortense. “Yes, the whole play was great and the Junior Class certainly showed that it has capable actors and actresses among its members. “We had quite a little glory in athletics, too ‘Babe’ made the first team in both football and basket ball. Besides, many of the boys in our class showed that they would be able to do fine work next year. “That reminds me of the ticket selling contest that we lost and the party that we 1401 owe the Seniors as the result. Don’t you hoj e we’ll give it soon?’' questioned Gwendolyn. “I should say I do,” Hortense answered and then added, “Yes, our class was quite a success this year. Nearly the whole cast of the operetta was chosen from it, too.” “Yes,” answered Gwendolyn, “the Juniors took part in all the school activities, and J hope we will do much more as Seniors.” The Junior Library It is a most unique collection of hooks. It contains volumes of many kinds: History, Biography, Adventure, and much Fiction. Almost all of the books are interesting, a few clever, and one or two good looking, but none are dust covered. You will find them always on display somewhere about Lincoln High School between 9:00 and 4:00 o’clock, which are the regular hours of the library. No card catalogue is needed for reference.

Pavloaki Mildred is short. In fact, when her two friends are beside her, she is extremely short. She was one of the 11 Huckleberry Finn” girls in our Class Stunt and at the (’lass Play. Mildred, familiarly known as “Milly,” lives near the Billmeyers and the McGlynns in a house which is entirely unlike herself. The second “Triplet,” as has been said, is Lila Billmeyer. She was Julia Carroll in “The Colonel’s Maid” and played opposite Marion Konash. It has been darkly hinted that Marion would like to carry out their parts in the Class Play all during life, but Marion has been paying very, very marked attention to “Ruthie” Kellner, while Bvron Bomber “sat out” many dances with Lila after basket ball games. Lila’s favorite nickname is clothed in an unfathomable mystery. Finally, we come to Margaret MoGlvnn. In this year’s operetta she is “Zam,” a % member of Cuba’s police force, along with Carol Boorman, who is one of those “Sniffling Seniors.” “Midge,” as she is called by the other Siamesians—no, not Simians—is a brunette, in contrast to her friend Lila. V have heard her name connected with those of two Juniors of the masculine gender. We aren’t mentioning names, though. EUNICE FULLER Eunice is a pianist. She played for the Junior Stunt. In addition to this, she used to play for marching at noon and night, but for some as yet undiscovered reason, Eunice has quit the latter “position,’’ and we have been forced to do our marching without musical accompaniment—so called by the pianist. Eunice and George Gahl were formerly seen together frequently, but Ted Hoekstra seems to have taken George’s job of walking home with her. HERBERT GAULKE Herbert lives on Wisconsin Street, near the Superintendent’s house, where he has been known to present himself for study (!) (Sure, we know that exclamation points are a time-worn device.) “Herb” calls himself a Junior, but he says that he has enough credits to be a Senior. He claims he’s keeping the time when he will be a “Sniffer” as far off as possible. “Herb’s” big brother, “Stub,” will have to look out for his laurels in the world when Herbert gets going. 1421 Z]0 PEARL HALL Shi� is one of the Junior artists. Last year the Class History was written bv her. This year she has a seat in front of Gwendolyn Glise—or is it Glyeef—so, ’nuf said. DORIS KLEBERG Doris admits that she is an actress. How she was forced to admit that much-concealed fact has never yet been divulged. Last year Doris and John Bchlatterer were seen together often, but now it’s Jim Kellogg—he calls at her home every Sunday. His car, left standing before her house, is an easy prey for “auto thieves.” Doris is a member of the S. S. S. (Mub, which was formerly the S. O. G. T. She was the leading lady of the Class Play and is “Kitty” in the Operetta this year. “THE TWO COLONELS” Though possessing the same “back name,” the Hannemans aren’t brothers, and in the Class Play they were bitter enemies. Ervin was Doris Kleberg’s “Dad” anil Mar- garet Johnson’s future “hubby,” while Carl was to Leon Laramie as Ervin was to Doris, and he was also Margaret Johnson’s brother-inlaw, Jim Kellogg’s employer, Tom Nash’s client, and Lila Billmeyer’s uncle, or something like that—relationships are so perplexing! Carl is an artist, while Ervin hasn’t settled upon anything yet, unless it’s mathematics—he is an advanced algebra shark, you know!

Ireasurer Faculty Advisory Committee Miss Hoskins, Chairman Miss McGarty Miss Eichinger Mr. Crouse The Mirror of Events MIRROR of events! Portray for me and for those whom it may i rite rest the Sophomore Class of ’22. Let us first of all dwell upon the entrance of our class into the famous educational institution, Lincoln High. A group of laughing, boisterous youngsters pascs down the long corridor, through the portals of the Main Room. They look bewildered and not a little frightened. They are seating themselves and the usual hubbub begins. They wear questioning expressions upon their counte- nances at sight of an intricate-appearing puzzle upon a blackboard. The gong must have rung, since several are startled. Everything appears quiet now. Who is that upon the rostrum, indicating upon the blackboard? Of course, 'tis Mr. Baldauf, reading the schedule for the semester. The teachers are distributing blanks. The uninitiated glance confusedly at these, consult each other, and when the faculty commences col- lecting them, scribble a few illegible words upon them. Now they are rising, blundering into the wrong class-rooms, bringing upon themselves the rebukes and criticisms of the upper classmen and the censure of their instructors. Ah! Mirror! You need not portray further this scene. I know by the progressive appearance of these Freshmen that they succeed in becoming well acquainted with the routine. Is this the same class you are portraying! It must be several months later. What self important youngsters they have become! Miss O’Brien, the class adviser, is pre- siding. Several youngsters distribute ballots. It must be election of class officers. Who have been elected? Ah! Wise class, quite undecided as to whether officers should be chosen for their brilliance of intellect or for their jollity, you have combined both in the several chosen. A happy-go-lucky lad, Tom Dutcher, can be no other than Presi- 1441 «lent. A quiet, studious lass, Ruth Hayward, is the occupant of the Vice-President’s «•hair. To complete the group, Robert Collier, full-0’-pep, takes charge of the records, and gentle Louise Thurow is chosen to safe guard the funds. Something has been pro- posed. The actions of the class can denote nothing less than a picnic or a party. Thus it is that I see a committee and Miss O’Brien making preparations for a picnic. (), obdurate Weather Man! The class gazes listlessly out of the window’ at the downpour. Yes, it is disappointing to have planned a picnic and then it must rain. What gaiety is this? It is the music room where the teachers are playing games with the youngsters. The belated picnic is being held indoors. Yum! Such eats that arc being served! Rolls, hot dogs,” and marshmallows are disappearing like light- ning. Now they are tripping the light fantastic. O, Mirror, why change this to a scene of turmoil? Hoys and girls are hurrying to and fro with huge piles of books in their arms. They are changing seats. Many of the Freshmen grumble at the inconvenient locations they receive. One girl is heart-broken because she is placed among the foreign element, the Eighth Grade. How sophisticated those Freshmen are becoming, but for all that they are full of mischievous pranks. The whole room is listening attentively. Mr. Baldauf is speaking. Oh! Boy! Flu vacation! Again I see the familiar faces. A Freshman has appeared upon the rostrum writh a baby chick in her hand. Behold Georgia Favne, the representative of the Freshmen Class! Who are these three distinguished-looking persons in this tuneful Orchestra? They are Freshmen, lending their talent for the enjoyment of the Lincolnite. O, Eventful Mirror, ’tis sufficient to show the virtues of the Freshies. Portray now the Sophomores. The same familiar faces appear, however, more intelligent. The Sophs gaze at the familiar clock, listen respectfully to Mr. Baldauf, and settle into the old routine, a trifle bored by the interrogatory Freshmen. Geometry appears to require their attention since they all are burrowing into books on that subject. What a queer delightful, performance is this? Oh yes, the Sophomore stunt! Ye Old Fashioned Skewl I see printed upon the Mirror. A wise Pedagogue, Kelso Veli- quette, is endeavoring to restrain mischievous pupils on visiting day. When the declamatory exercises are presented, the audience applauds loudly. Again the Sophomores appear. On the selling of Red Cross Christmas seals, they distinguish themselves. Among those requested to make speeches at grade schools in the interest of the Anti-Tuberculosis Campaign, are Kelso Veliquette and Lola Payne. The Mirror fairly radiates with light. Everything is obscured. It refuses to dis- close the future of our class, try hard as I can to pierce the veil. But stop! look! listen! Is not the brilliance of the Mirror a good omen? Are we not promising Sophomores? Ixmk out for the Class of 1922! LOLA PAYNE, ’22. SELDOM SEEN Mr. Bauldauf with a pompadour. Hurry Stark in a hurry. Lola Payne without her dinner pail.

We had all been warned beforehand just where we should put our coats, the time to come, where to sit, and such minor details. We were all scared stiff when we arrived, but we went boldly up the steps and into the main room. There we saw our friends and nothing seemed to be happening to them, so we went on and tried to find seats somewhere near. Then the first bell rang and we all gave a jump, thinking it was tlfe fire-bell or something of that kind. After the second bell had rung Mr. Baldauf gave a speech and explained about the schedule. Then he said that all Eighth Graders should go up to the music room, so up we went. There we arranged our schedule and Miss Doherty explained things to us and we proceeded down to the main room. When we got down there Mr. Baldauf explained that we were to go to our classes, so he rang a bell and all the other people got up and started to pass, but w’e sat there like mummies. He came over to us and very graciously asked us what class we were supposed to go to. We answered and he told us where our room wras, so we started out. We struck the wrong room and had to try another, but finally we found the right one. Stanley did not have a harder time finding the trail in darkest Africa than the Eighth Graders had in finding their rooms. School went on and pretty soon came the six weeks’ tests. A few’ of us flunked, but most of us showed great brilliancy and passed on. To one coming from the lower grades, High School is like a three-ringed circus or vaudeville. Sometimes the vaudeville is not ahvavs interesting, but as we all know, there are times w’hen there are extremely inter- esting experiences to be enjoyed. A short time after the six weeks’ tests we were moved into the old Domestic Science room, which none of us liked very well. We had no teacher in the Eighth Grade room and some days we would be having a fine time and Mr. Baldauf would come and tell us to take our books and go to the main room to study. We usually w’ent over to the far side of the room and made believe that we wrere dignified(f) Juniors. The Eighth Graders attended a lot of the basket ball and football games and were just as enthusiastic as any of the upper classmen. When the Junior Glee Club was formed many of the Eighth Graders joined it. The class is very well represented in the Fine Arts, Music being our specialty. We have several pianists, a ” pickelist, ” a blow’er (otherwise cornetist), and a few prima donnas. Altogether, we are a pretty good class and our teachers say every day that there 11 never was a class like us.”. JEAN NASH. TONGUE TWISTERS Bill had a board bill. Bill had a billboard.

The sun seemed to be smiling good morning to everyone as he rose over the eastern cloud bank, the birds were singing, the roosters crowing, and the milkmen were delivering their milk (fourteen cents a quart and diluted at that), at the doors of various customers. But even the rattle of the milk carts on the paved streets (for Cen- terville was up to date) and the noise of whistles blowing, seven o'clock, failed to awake Jimmy Binks, eighth grader, and Boy Scout, at the present dreaming of himself as a pirate of the South Seas making his terror stricken victims walk the plank. Alas! Such dreams were not for long, for Jim’s big brother, Benjamin, a Senior at Centerville High School, entered with a wet washcloth in one hand and a towel in the other, evidently making his morning toilette, lie shouted lustily that breakfast was ready, but Jimmy still clinging to the sweet dream refused to be awakened. Brother benjamin thereupon ruthlessly applied the cold, wet wash cloth to the back of Jimmy’s neck working rapidly and evoking a wild howl and the following angry exclamations Hav, you big stiff, what’s the idea I Can’t a fellow even sleep on a Saturday morning? You needn’t think it takes me half an hour to get ready, a’washin’ my pretty com- plexion and a’combin’ my elegant pompadour so os to look nice for the girls. You needn’t think Vm a sissy. Get out and let me alone.” Benjamin retreated highly insulted, muttering that never again wrould he wake that “ungrateful kid” and departed downstairs to the region of buckwheat batter cakes. Jimmy on the contrary, immediately fell asleep and began to shoot bears, until a heavy step on the stair awoke him with a start. He sprang up and clambered into his clothes just as the door opened, and his father’s voice spoke sternly, “James, I dis- tinctly heard Benjamin say that he waked you at seven o’clock and it is now nearly eight. What have you been doing all this time! Do you expect your mother to keep breakfast waiting all morning?” Jimmy mumbled something about hunting for a new shoe string and reciting some grammar rules for next Monday at school, so that the time fled before he knew it. “Such a sudden interest in education on Saturday morning seems strange to me,” remarked Judge Binks. “But never mind, hurry up, for I have some work for you and Benjamin to do.” Jim's heart sank, for he suspected that the work was two loads of wood which the Judge had ordered from Farmer Bond had arrived. As he went downstairs he began meditating on the farmer whom he thoroughly disliked. Farmer Bond wras in the habit of patting Jimmy on the shoulder and asking how the “leetle feller” was today, at which Jimmy, who already considered himself a noble specimen of manhood, was highly indignant ami wondered “what the old rube meant.” And, moreover, he was always telling Jimmy “to be a good bov and mind his lcamin’ while he had a chance. And now to cap it all, he had brought the Judge’s wood on a Saturday of all days. Why not on a week dav when Jimmy could have been very conveniently busy at school, and the Judge most likely would have either hired a man to pile the wood or would have done so himself? Jimmy became angry and more angry at the farmer as he devoured buck- wheat cakes and maple svrup. With breakfast finished he leisurely sauntered out on the veranda, being in no hurrv to begin his task. Yes, there the wood lay, two big loads of it, looking to Jimmy like a verv mountain. Benjamin, having donned overalls was now busily engaged in putting on a pair of leather gloves to protect his dainty hands and manicured finger nails from pitch and was jubilantly whistling “I am always building castles in the air. “Better not build so many castles in the air and build a little on the woodpile,’ said Jimmy as he came slowly down the walk, looking scornfully at his fastidious brother. Jimmy had not yet forgotten the method by wmch Ben awakened him, and was already plotting revenge of some kind. Benjamin did not deign to answer him. but began serenely to attack the wood. Bot brothers worked on in silence for some time making tepid progress. The Judge ai house stood on a corner and consequently, the wood pile was quite near the street through [53] which the usual crowd of Saturday morning shoppers was passing. Occasionally Ben, after viewing the long street anxiously, would scuttle into the woodshed like a fright- ened rabbit until a group of girls (it always was girls) had passed by. The third time this happened, Jimmy who had never been blest with much patience lost what little he had of it. “Say, little Lord Fauntleroy, what's the idea! he shouted wrathfullv. “You need not think you can sneak into that ol' wood shed and take a rest every little while. I'm onto you and I'm gonna tell pa how you act leaving all the wood to me while 3'ou sneak oil’ and rest yourself. Mercy, Jim, it isn’t that at all, said Ben sheepishly, as he came out from behind the w od shed door, “do you suppose I want Ihe yirlit to see me like this? and he surveyed himself. “Especially Geraldine James. he mused, “say, isn't she a peach! “All look alike to me, retorted Jim gloomily, “I don't see any use in girls with their curls, and their notes and those funny looking socks they're wearing lately. You’ll like them better when you grow up, prophesied Ben wisely. Now listen, Jim, I want to know if you '11 do me a favor tins afternoon! Depends on what it is, replied Jimmy tartly. Your favors are usually too favor- able to yourself. Now see here,’’ protested Ben, all I want you to do is this. I'in going to take Geraldine James to the Benton’s Jazz Orchestra Dance tonight, and I want to send her some flowers to wear. American Beauty roses, I guess. Have to charge ’em to dad till I get my next allowance. I’ll get the roses at two o'clock this afternoon and about four o’clock you take 'em over to the Jnmes' for me. 1 can’t afford a messenger boy, so the idea is to have you be one. Will you do itt Sure, replied Jimmy emphatically, for his revengeful plot was beginning to take form. Ben wondered somewhat at such amazing cordiality on Jimmy’s part, for that young gentleman had even forgotten to ask what he would receive as reward for doing the errand. Just then the dinner whistles blew, and the boys went into the house as hungry as bears. After dinner the Judge, much pleased with progress at the wood, declared that the boys might have the rest of the day to themselves. At once Ben set off to the florist’s, and Jimmy with Spud Smith to the matinee movies from which lie returned at exactly a quarter to four. Such punctuality on Jimmy's part had never before been known. He went straight up to Ben’s room and evidently was in search of something for he rum- maged tin dresser drawers, and then came down to submit to a vigorous brushing from his brother. As lie (Jimmy) set off, bearing a big box wrapped in tissue paper and silken ribbon, lie chuckled softly to himself. The James house lay on the other side of town and to arrive there, Jimmy passed through a huge public park. But what was the matter! Instead of keeping to the main path, Jim turned off into a little path leading toward the river. There he seated himself on a bench and began deliberately to unwrap the big box. Inside lay the red roses in all their dewy fragrance and beauty, together with a card saying Wear these for me. B. B. Jimmy removed the roses and pulled from his pocket a pair of purple silk socks with yellow' stripes, which were the newly acquired property of Brother Ben, who, to say the least, was not blest with remarkably small feet. These socks Jimmy placed in the box, tucked tissue paper around them, and laid on the top the card, Wear these for me. B. B. I guess that’ll fix him and her, too. he added as an afterthought, as he hid the roses carefully under a bush, with the intention of getting them the next morning after his father’s and brother’s anger had abated. Jimmy was pretty sure that his father would not punish him vrey severely, for Judge Binks not only loved a good joke, but also had often asserted that Ben was spending altogether too much of his time and money with the ladies and ought to be taken down a peg once in a while. Bo Jim almost considered the Judge on his side. Having delivered the flowers, as he approached his own home, Jim saw Farmer Bond's old Ford at the door, and hurried to see what the occasion of the visit was. Farmer Bond sometimes brought delicious products from his farm such as freshly smoked sausage, hence Jimmy's hurry. Farmer Bond was seated in the parlor conversing with the Judge, but as Jimmy entered he broke off in the midst of a discussion of horses to say, Well, well, here's the 154] I.« tle feller now. I was just asking the Jedge if you couldn’t come out and spend Sun l:iv with us, and he says, ‘Sure, if Jim’s willing.9 Now you jest go and get your old i lollies ready and we’ll start right away.” Jimmy rushed upstairs to get ready forget ting all his former enmity toward Farmer Bond. A few minutes later they started in the little old Ford just as a messenger came up the road bearing a box which Jimmy recognized, and a very icy note commanding that “Mr. Benjamin Binks never again speak to Miss Geraldine James.” It was a lucky escape from the fraternal wrath thought Jimmy, as he lay in bed that night listening to the frogs’ croak. Monday, any anger on his father's part would have vanished and, early the morning of the same day, Beil would set off to a basketball tournament from which he would not return until Thursday. By that time he, too, would hi less angry with Jimmy. “I’m glad Ben’s such a popular fellow with the girls,” thought Jim. “He’s likely to meet some new ones at the tournament and maybe he’ll forget all about Geraldine. But just the same,” he added, “I’m glad it’s a long time before Thursday.” LUCILE BELL, ’20. A Wish I Oh, I wish I were a poet, Then I a poem would write Describing all the myst ’ries And the beauties of the night. II I’d tell about the little stars, Their twinkling bright and gay, And the Aurora Borealis Or else the “Milky Way.” III Then I’d tell about the rustling Of the wind among the trees, And the scent of fairy blossoms Wafted to me by the breeze. IV Then I’d describe the lovely moon, That pretty shepherdess, And the little stars and starlets, Which are sheep and lambs, I guess. V But, as I’m not a poet My wish I fear’s in vain, For I’m just a little girl And my name is Georgia Payne. VI “All things come to those who wait,” Is a proverb we should learn, And poor attempts (like this) of others I pray you do not spurn. 155] A Talk on France WO negro women were talking over the hack yar l fence separating their respective homes in the negro quarters in a city down South. “Ma Mose, he write me a letta and say dat he soon come from France, and he sez dat it shur beats dis ole place all holler. So spoke Mrs. John- son. Her husband had enlisted in the Third Negro Division and had not yet returned from France. “ Did he sey anytings 'bout dem French gals? asked Mrs. White, the other negress. “Did he? Why dat was 'bout all he wrote! He sez dore heels on dere shoes are 'bout a foot high and dere dresses am 'bout two foot from de groun. He sez dey like de 'Merican soldiers very much, but he sez, 1 None of dem girls for Muse, Mandy for me.' answered Mrs. Johnson. “Laws sakes Mandy, you betta watch out, he might change his min' anytime. “Don't you worry, cause I don't. I know very well dat Mose wouldn't hitch up with one of dem French gala, cause he knows very well dat da couldn’t support him. He knows dat Mandy has supported him more den five years and can do it more yet. You know Mose jined de army so dat he could be more iducated. said Mrs. Johnson. “Did he say he see de Kaiser yet? asked Mrs. White. “No, but he seen dat General Pershing already, and he sez dat he'll soon see de Kaiser. I pities dat feller when ma Mose sees him. Mose sez he's gonna take the will right out of dat William fella and I know Mose can do it too, cause he takt de will out of me many a time. asserted Mrs. Johnson. “Did you sent back a letta to your Mose yet? asked Mrs. White. “Not yet admitted Mrs. Johnson, “Cause I ain't got no gossip to send him. “You ain't! Why didn't you hear 'bout Sarie Green and Tom Black? Why, da 'loped last week and got married and hain't been heard of since. And didn't you hear 'bout Susie Gray getting a divorce frum her ole man? She sez he alwaz took the money she make from washings and drank it up. And didn't you hear 'bout Abe Lincoln gitting put in jail for only stealing tw'o chickens? Well! Well! And den you say you hain't got no gossip for Mose! Why, if I was writin' dat letta, I could make a book, exclaimed Mrs. White. “Mose sez dat he hain't got no time to read books, said Mrs. Johnson. “Well, den make it inta a letta, said Mrs. White. “Dat I will do, laughed Mrs. Johnson. “Well, I must be goin' and finishin' dat wash in ’ for Mis' Smith, but for Ian’s sakes, tell Mose not to go wid one of dem French gals, said Mrs. White. “All rite, I will, replied Mrs. Johnson as the two women parted. HERBERT GAULKE, '21. Impressions While American playwrights were searching everywhere for suitable material for a drama, Mr. Drink water, an English dramatist, took the life of one of the greatest figures in American history for the theme of a play which has set London on fire. True, he disregards history in his great picture of “Abraham Lincoln, but he is not giving us history he is telling us about a great man. He shows us all his truthfulness, all his struggle for high ideals, all his kindness, his simplicity, his courage, and his supreme power. To all of you who will read this book I will promise that Abraham Lincoln will not longer seem [56] a mere automaton in the development of America, but a striking power dominating all by his kindness, his simplicity, and his faith. For those of you who imagine that the art of writing short stories is dead, I rec- ommend “ Atlantic Narratives” as a disillusioned This book contains the best of the cream of modern short stories published in the Atlantic Monthly. They are all stories with fire, snap and “go.” They are modern—they do not revert to the times of .Juliu Caesar for their themes. They arc so real you will find many of your friends shown therein and maybe yourself. No matter what your tastes in literature may be, you will find them amply provided for in this book, containing the best of the “Atlantic Narratives. ” FRED REICH EL. In “The Valley of Democracy,” Meredith Nicholson writes of the great Middle West. He sketches for us the “folks'’ of the region—the pioneers who with infinite toil turned the prairie into a garden, the old Civil War veterans who fought to save that fair region from the stain of slavery, the younger generation of college-bred men and women who will in their turn settle the destinies of the valley. Mr. Nicholson proves that the Mid-West is not frivolous or flighty in politics, that it is not unappreciative of the higher things than material gain, and that what may seem eccentric to our Eastern cousins is caused only by the different problems that the West has had to face and conquer. He sketches for us the great movement which is bringing the farmer into closer contact with his city neighbor, taking away the former hopeless drugery of farm work. The part played by the Middle West in the struggle for good government and in the recent crusade for democracy is described in a manner flattering to every Mid Westerner. Our own Hadger State is often mentioned. Such a careful analysis of the valley characteristics and tendencies is surely of the highest interest to future citizens of Wisconsin. “The Years Between” contains some of Kipling’s more recent poems. Kipling’s poems are different. They are not of the “highbrow” sort, describing the pangs of disappointed love or raptures over a lock clipped from golden tresses or similar inane themes. The story of the Great War can almost be read from this series of poems, written during the dark fall days of 1914. In vivid, rhythmic verse the author drives home to us the first angry astonishment of the English people, then the enthusiasm with which they threw themselves into the conflict, and the final settling into a determination to finish the job regardless of cost. There is a swing to Kipling’s verse that reminds one of marching columns. If you think essays are “dry,” read “Shandygaff,” by Christopher Morley, and you will change your mind. Through every one of these essays runs a vein of chuckling humor. You learn more about a person by reading one of the short biographies than by poring over a dozen encyclopedias. Instead of being dry lists of dates, these biographies are crammed with juicy anecdotes which make you know the person concerned almost as well as he knows himself. But the biographical essays are not the only ones. In the humorous essays there is joy peeping from every paragraph. There are other essays on every subject from excursions in New York and Edinburgh to the joys of a commuter. If you start on the first essay you will have a hard time putting the book down until you reach the “Finis.” RAYMOND ROY. HOPES OF THE EIGHT GRADERS There’ll be lots of shouting, And you’ll hear it more and more, If we all pass And be with the class Of nineteen twenty-four. [57] The Office Arm Chair Talks ET me introduce myself: I am the only armchair in Mr. Baldauf’s office, I am known simply as Baldauf’s chair. If any one impudent or more daring than the rest of the crowd of absentees or tardvcomers (1 am refer- ring to the time before Mr. Baldauf introduced fifty year compounds) dares to occupy my comfortable spaciousness for even the shortest possible moment, he is immediately ami violently yelled at in expressive whispers: Butch Link, get out of there! The Head ain’t smiling this morning. Oh, I have an honorable, advantageous position in this Lincoln High School. I listen to interesting telephone conversations. Sometimes an apologetic mamma or irate papa talks to Mr. Baldauf. In the football seasons I hear him using the phone in scheduling games with outsiders and also in planning train schedules for our school combatants. Then, too, I can look through the office windows and reflectively eye school pro- ceedings. I haven’t as clear a view as I used to have, due to the curtains. It is an interesting and mildly thrilling spectacle to behold Leonard LeRoux stumble blushingly down the aisles to the front seats or possibly to see me in the office. Other old offenders are Janet Riley, Cornelia Paulus, Muggs Bossert, Afarv O’Dav and Ruth Matthews among the ladies, while Jim Kellogg and Vendome Tieknor represent the gentlemen. Am 1 satiric? Alas! even arm-chairs may get satiric at times. Do you see I have three sources of knowledge and information on current school events, the impersonal telephone, the office itself, and the interesting panorama of the main room seen from my vantage point. I do get glimpses of the outside of the door on such occasions as Glee Club concerts and lectures; I si rh at the infrequency of those occasions for they are as refreshing as tin swimming pool is to a small boy on a warm July day. I reflect on the appearance of the children in the main room. The unceas- ing, regular rhymthic movement of the jaws here and there points out the habitual gum- ehowers. In one of the front seats sits an extremely popular boy; he has dazzling white teeth, curly hair, a winsome smile, dark complexion and school-wide reputation in athletics and dancing. Here is a neat little girl over near the rostrum. Xo, it is not Esther Henrickson this time. It’s Hedwig. She is one of my special friends, visits me real often, and makes me the recipient of interesting confidences. She confided to me that Mr. (’rouse is her favorite teacher. By the way, did you ever read the interesting theme she wrote about this favorite instructor of hers? Then there’s Cliing-ah-ling, who got his name from the Junior Class Plav. He’s the most popular boy in school—to mv knowledge. Even if you had never seen Jimmy before you’d know' him because he’s versatile, Irish, and the popular star of school dramatics. Near him sits Edvthe Hennell, the holy terror of the Junior Class. There are few students in our midst who can lay claim to intellect and studiousness as great as that of a bespectacled little girl Lola Pavne unless we except Lucile Bell. Raymond Roy, I predict from my close observation and study of him, will be head of a department in our State University some day. On the basis of comparison with other schools of the same size as Lincoln High, this school can boast of the brightest students, the prettiest girls, and the most Freshmen. When it comes to pretty girls, why, who can outshine Alice Damon, Doris Kleberg, Margaret Johnson, Eunice Fuller, Margaret Bossert, and Esther Henricksen. My old masculine armchair fairly warms to them. Can anyone dispute my taste? Among them, a little girl named Gwendolyn Glyce is a close friend of mine; she visits the office quite often and when she and I happen to be the sole occupants of this point of vantage we have a cozy pleasurable chat. I remember one of her visits in particular, on a windy, violent March morning. The second minute before school opened found Gwendolyn tugging at the door which stuck, a terrifically stubborn March breeze putting itself against her. The last bell sounded; later— Good morning,’’ said my Chief, with a pleasing smile, Well, you and I are in for a compound or two, aren’t wTe, Gwendolyn? I I am social by nature and should like to chat with you about all my friends, espec- 1581 tally (Men Daly, Stanley Hoi berg, and Margaret Dingeldein, but I think I hear the Chief coining. The other day my friend, the Office Desk, told me that I was no longer in the first blush of youth. But why heed a pessimist? Except during hay fever time when my hinges squeak lamentably, T am young enough to enjoy my office companions and my main room neighbors. The Office Desk upholds his contention saying that my sighs are longer drawn-out and my aspect more doleful each year at Commencement; he says that on coming old age manifests itself when partings with friends become difficult. I do miss, it is true, every departing Senior friend, because each visits me but rarely in the ensuing vears; but I renew my youth each September when old friends come back and the year- lings, such fresh, growing and interesting little people, come in to make friends with me. Then it is that I take a new lease on life and prepare myself for another year of happy chats, pleasant reflections and new impressions and acquaintances. PEARL HALL, '21. A Trip Through the Panama Canal LL ABOARD!99 sang the old dock manager after the whistle had blown. Everybody was on deck to watch the gigantic steamer pull out from Balboa Docks. Silence reigned for about two minutes for we all realized that this was an opportunity that only a fewr could have. The ship steamed up Miraflores Lake and in less than an hour the first set of locks came in view. In appearance they reminded one of the adobe homes of Mexico but as we came nearer they looked like mammoth rectangular blocks con- nected by gates. The electric towing locomotives, which were to pull us through the locks, were in position and, as wre came in reach, long ropes were thrown over to us and attached to the bow and stern of our ship. Now came an exciting moment, for in this set of locks we were to be raised thirty and one-third feet. Imagine yourselves going up instead of forward. As wo rose slowly we held our breaths in excitement till we attained the momentous height. After the second gate closed behind us w’e rode out majestically into Pedro Miguel Lake. This artificial lake is about the size of the Consolidated mill pond only instead of being surrounded by big piles of pulp wood there are green fields and hills. As we looked towards the northeast we could see the American town of Pedro Miguel which is settled only bv those employed to work on this set of locks. Electric motors of the same family as the first met us again and we wTere again raised. We were now fifty-four and two-thirds feet above sea level! The locks were crowded with people waiting patiently to watch us go through. It was still a curiosity for everyone, as, up to this time only a few ships had gone through. The next body of water w e entered was the world known Culebra Cut which causes our government so much trouble. It was cut through twro monstrous hills, the Contractois and Gold hills. This was one of the most difficult tasks that the United States Engineers ran up against when they w'ere planning the canal and even today the banks continually cave in, thus delaying navigation. For nine long miles w e saw nothing but red and gray clay banks with green hills rising in the distance. It was dinner time now and we all ate our lunches. Suddenly, to our surprise, the channel widened out into another beautiful artificial lake called Gatun Lake. This was formed by blocking up the outlet of the Chagres River with an enormous dam called the Spilway. We could see the natives with canoes full of oranges and bunches of bananas. Now we were passing a beautiful island. Then as we looked towards the eastern side of the lake, we could see a passenger train wending in and out among the hills. After a very short, three hours1 ride w e came to Gatun Locks wrhich are the largest of the three sets. We were again raised thus making a total rise of eightv-five feet since we left Balboa. Many of you may wonder why we have been raised to this height. The Atlantic ocean is eighty-five feet higher than the Pacific. Had it not 159] boon for this fact the looks would novor have boon built but in their stead wo would have had a sea level canal as is the Suez Canal. Wo know our journey was near an end and wore curious to know at what time we would land. Instead of asking the captain, people started to make wagers. One of the officers who wagered that we would land at four-thirty lost his bet because w’e landed at four-forty-five. ., We had started at seven o’clock from Balboa Docks. After passing through Mira- flores Lake we entered Miraflores Locks, where w?e rose thirty and one-third feet; sailed into Pedro Miguel Lake and then entered Pedro Miguel Locks where we were raised to fifty-four and three-fourths feet above sea level; entered Culebra Cut about eleven o’clock and then passed through Gatun Lake and then into Gatun Locks where we were again raised. We were now eighty-five feet above sea level; landed at Chris- tobal Dock at four-forty-five, and had covered a distance of fifty miles. We saw many novel and delightful scenes; we experienced the feeling of being historical pall finders, as ours was the third ship to go through the Canal. Alto- gether it was a memorable dav. PRUDENCE MARTIN, '20. Two Girls — ( )ne Note KFORE this little piece of fiction really begins, it must be explained that it deals with only three people out of three hundred in Badger River High School—and one alumnus. The characters are: Clara Linton, Clara Larsen, Arthur Meyer, and Willard Dixon. Now let's get started. It was two days before the Hilldale basketball game, the big battle of the season for Badger River, and a dance was to be held after the game. Arthur Meyer, Junior, was “interested in Clara Linton, who sat only four seats in front of him. ciara Larsen held the seat immediately in front of the Linton girl. So on this day, Arthur wrote a note to Clara Linton, reading something like this: “Clara: Will call for you at house to go to game and dance. Arthur M.'' Arthur addressed his note to “Clara L. After it was written, he shot it down the aisle, but it went past Clara Linton's desk to Clara Larsen. The latter girl picked it up, read it, and immediately wrote a reply, accepting Arthur’s somewhat abrupt invitation. Then, carelessly, Clara let the note fall to the floor, only to have it picked up by her friend of the same name, the Clara for whom the invitation was intended. The latter girl read it, and also accepted the “invite. Poor Arthur! He was now in a predicament, certainly. He could not tell either girl that the note was not intended for her, for he was a tender hearted individual, especially toward girls. That night he did not go to sleep until two o'clock, after tossing on his bed for four hours. And then his dreams were troubled: Two Claras with eyes like demons, point- ing at him, until a friend, now at college, came and chased them away. The next morning—a day before the game, he decided to follow out the dream, so he wrote to Willard Dixon, at Hilldale College to come over with that city’s High School team. Then he explained his position in regard to the two girls. The following day, Willard arrived in Badger River, and as soon as he saw’ Clara Larsen—which, believe me, was quite soon—he invited her to go to the game with him, explaining that he would “make it right with Art. Quite naturally Clara Larsen accepted, as she much preferred Willard to his local friend. And so it wras fixed. It might be added that possibly aided by Willard's and Arthur's cheering—Art was supremely happy—Badger Rapids w’on over Hilldale by one point. WILLIAM DOUDNA, '21. 0 1601 It The Schools in Sweden HE public school system in Sweden is in charge of the church authorities, each school being managed by the district Board of Education with a minister as chairman. Sweden has no state school inspectors, because each local school is very strictly ruled by the appointed chairman. There are somewhere around fourteen thousand schools in Sweden, with a teaching force of about eighteen thousand teachers. There are eight grades; we characterize them thus: Two lower, four middle, and two higher grades. When the student has satisfactorily passed from the sixth grade, he is promoted to the last 4‘two years1 section in the public schools from which he may enter the high school. The six years course in the “Laronerk” high school there is equivalent to both high school and college in this country. The tuition in high school is rather high, being the sum of $60.00 a year in U. H. money, thus it bars a good many poor fellows from getting an education. Before a person becomes a teacher in Sweden, he or she must be a graduate of one of the Universities or Normal Schools. When the candidate from there has passed the examination for teachers he is taken on trial in the lower grades, and after a while, if he is qualified, he is promoted to the higher grades. From there the candidates can advance to high school teaching, by taking up special studies in the University in the subjects he desires to teach. The teaching profession in Sweden, in public schools as well as high schools, is like the professions of ministry, law or medicine, and a teacher hardly ever goes into any other line of work. A teacher receives a good salary with house and sometimes a plot of land, where he can raise his garden products. As a rule the men teachers have some other line of work besides teaching, like temporary clerkship in the treasury department when taxes are due, or in some other municipal activity for which they receive extra pay. In old ago each receives a pension, and in case of death the widow is sometimes granted a life pension by the district in which her husband had been teaching. This is only granted when the family is in poor circumstances. Sweden has several Universities as well as Colleges and Technical Schools. Persons, who would like to learn some mechanical trade, may enter these schools after they are graduated from the eighth grades of the public schools. In the city of Gothenburg is famous “Chalmerska Institutet.” This has furnished some of the best engineers in the world. Persons wishing to enter a University are compelled to take the entrance examination, which can be taken at some preparatory schools before an authorized board, the members usually being graduates from the University, which the student wishes to enter. After the student has completed the entrance examination he is entitled to wear the “Student Pap,” a white cap with black band and a visor of leather, and a rosette of yellow and blue, the national colors of Sweden. The greatest University of Sweden is “Upsala,M in the town of the same name. Upsala is the Royal University. The residence of the State Archbishop is in this city which is also the ancient capital of the kingdom. Upsala is the head of the educational system of Sweden. It was founded in 1477 by Sten Sture. Gustavus Adolphus, during the time he was on the throne, endowed it with funds from estates that were confiscated by the Government. The second, and most important University town of Sweden is Lund, a very old town founded a thousand years ago. This city was, at one time, the most important town in Sweden. Here the Archbishop of Sweden was located, and here many prominent scholars and poets w’ere educated. During the time w’hen Longfellow was studying at Lund I ni- versity he was a student under Tegnis, the greatest poet Sweden has ever had. Long- fellow and Tegnis translated many poems from Swedish to English and vice versa. Mai mo, the third city in Sweden, is a town of less importance, from an educational point of view. It has one college there and several high schools. Those graduating from the high school usually go to the University of Lund or else to I psala, those wishing to take up engineering, go to Gothenburg. The city is considered the most important and progressive coast-town in Sweden. It has numerous factories of all sorts, and is an (611 extensive shipping port to all nations on the globe. The farming country in the vicinity of Malmo is very productive and is the finest farming country in Sweden. The school in Sweden not only develops the students’ intellect, but it also sees to the physical development through its world famous and efficient gymnastics. But by this the task is not considered to be completed, for the religious nature of man is also cared for. Christianity is taught on a par with any of the other subjects in the schools of Sweden, therefore every child has a fair knowledge of the Christian religion by the time he is graduated from the eighth grade. Thus we can readily understand the efficient system, in the schools of Sweden, is on a par with that of other countries and is well up with the times. ERICK NEHLS, ’20. Evolution up to Date FIRST— utter darkness. Then a gleam of reddish light, which gradually became stronger until the sun, a crimson ball, leaped above the horizon, turning the upper air into a canopy of flame. My lungs and eyes were tortured by the gas-filled air. I locked around me and saw nothing but a wa-te cf gray, heaving waters. I strained my eyes, hoping to see some bird in the gas-fllled air, some fish in the luke warm waters. I saw nothing. I stood on a t ny island of lava, alone in an empty world. Then the scene changed as the slides of a magic lantern change. I still stood by the sea, but countless ages had rolled by and now it was filled with life. The waters teemed with innumerable mailed fishes that preyed upon the weaker living forms. The strange Ichthyosaurus and Plesiosaurus fought together for nmsterv. As the centuries passed slowly away, curious animals emerged from the waves. At first they were great slugs or snails, as leng as a man is tall. Then in their place came great quadrupeds, shambling along over the pebbles of the everlasting seashore. By degrees they became bolder and ventured further into the forests of gigantic ferns and club-mosses. The bellowing� of strange reptiles echoed through the aisles of the jungle. I left my place by the seashore and wandered into the wilderness. The ground was marshy and encumbered with the fallen trunks of there strange trees, slowly sinking into the ooze. It was the age of coal, and these tree trunks thousands of years later would be dug from the earth in carbonized form to heat the dwelling places of man. As I passed through the aisles of great club mosses, the vegetet on slowly changed and became less tropical. I was startled by the rush of wings, as huge, bird-like reptiles swept through the air in pursuit of enormous moths. For centuries I raw these forests grow and flourish. Great mammoths crushed their ponderous way through the groves of saplings. The mammals supplanted the reptiles as rmr-ters cf the world. The ancestors of our domestic animals roamed unchecked by man’s intelligence. But a chill was in the air. The more delicate plants died out through the years, the animals began to migrate southward. Then from the north came the ice. The feathery snows of centuries, crushed and frozen under its own weight, poured slowly over the land. I stood cn the verge of the glaciers and saw them ride over mountains and down into the valleys, grinding into powder the frozen forests, driving before them everv living thing. J The scene changed once more. The ice was melting. Foaming torrents, loaded with glacial silt, boiled out of the icy caves. Foot by foot the ice retreated northward, followed bv the vegetation. Long-dormant seeds sprouted in the deltas of the snow fed rivers and along the moraines. The forests resumed their sway. Animals reappeared once more and among these animals was man. Rounding a mighty boulder, I came upon a cave in the rocks. Within this cave around the body of a newly slain bear, crouched men. But what kind of men were these? Cloaked with the fur of wild beasts, hairy as the beasts them- selves, they threw themselves upon the smoking meat and tore it with their powerful teeth. Their speech was the grunting of wild animals. As I watched them their sharp eyes caught sight of me. ith a howl like a pack of wolves they dashed in pursuit. I turned to flee but instantly the foremost of them was upon me. I resigned myself to 1621 instant death, but to my surprise he began to shake me soundly. I awoke in the main room of Lincoln High, the teacher in charge having disturbed my slumbers. RAYMOND ROY.

The Alumni team was composed of big, husky fellows, and they expected to walk away with the High School team, but the High School was not to be beaten so easily. They held their ground, keeping the ball in the middle of the field during most of the game, or near their opponents’ goal. Neither side being able to score, the game ended with the score 0 to 0. RAPIDS vs. WAUPACA The first real game of the season was with Waupaca, on the local field. The Waupaca team came to the Rapids expecting to win, but the Rapids team started out bv making a touchdown the first minute of play. Waupaca was outplayed during the whole game, and the Rapids made touchdown after touchdown. When the’final whistle blew the score stood 2 to 0 in favor of the Rapids. RAPIDS vs. MERRILL On October 11 Merrill arrived with a large crowd of rooters. Merrill had a good team and they were confident of winning. The game was a fast one from start to finish, although the Rapids made two touchdowns and kicked goal once, while Merrill only got one touchdown and a drop kick. The game ended up in a quarrel, as it usually does with Merrill. They refused to play out the last quarter of the game because the Rapids would not let them have a touchdown on an onside kick, which was not played correctly. The referee forfeited the game to the Rapids by a score of 1 to 0. RAPIDS vs. WAUSAU The first game played out of town was with Wausau. The team went to that city the night before, and all of them were in fine trim, but it rained the next day and the team seemed to become downhearted. It was still raining when the game started and the field was one mass of mud. Everything seemed to be against the Rapids. The only chance they had of scoring was at the close of the first half, when they were only a few feet from goal, but time was called and Wausau was in the lead with two touchdowns. The second half was the same as the first. Wausau made two more touchdowns and kicked the goal once. At the end of the game the score was 25 to 0 in favor of Wausau. RAPIDS (Second Team) vs. MOSINEE While the first team was playing Wausau the second team played Mosinee. They expected to beat Mosinee, but although they put up a good fight Mosinee won bv a score of 7 to 0. RAPIDS (Second Team) vs. NEW LISBON On Saturday, October 25, the second team went to New Lisbon. It was raining when they arrived and it rained all afternoon. New Lisbon had a husky bunch of players and 1661 it looked afl though they would walk away with the Rapids. About the first two minutes of play New Lisbon made a touchdown, but after that neither side could score. The game ended with New Lisbon in the lead by a score of 7 to 0. RAPIDS vs. ANTIGO The Antigo team was composed of big, strapping fellows and they were confident of winning. The Rapids team had practiced hard for two weeks and they were eager to show what they were made of. The Rapids had no trouble at all in forcing the ball over the goal, although Meunier had the misfortune to hurt his knee in the first quarter. This injury bothered him the rest of the season. Ticknor took Meunier's place at quarterback and handled the team quite well. The Rapids outplayed their opponents from start to finish, using the good team work that the coach had taught them. The final score was 45 to 7 in the Rapids' favor. RAPIDS vs. STEVENS POINT Stevens Point came to the Rapids with a special train to accommodate a band and a large number of rooters, besides the team. The game started with a whirl, the Rapids fumbled on the first down and Stevens Point downed the ball about two feet from goal. Everyone thought that Stevens Point would get a touchdown, but they fumbled the ball and Rapids recovered it. After that neither side neared the goal, and the first half ended 0 to 0. The second half was as exciting as the first, but the ball was kept in the middle of the field most of the time, neither side making any gains. When the final whistle blew the score stood 0 to 0. RAPIDS vs. APPLETON Appleton had one of the strongest teams in the state and a great many people thought the Rapids would be beaten by a large score. In the first quarter of the game neither side made any gains, but before the end of the first half Appleton made two touchdowns. In the second half Appleton made two more touchdowns. Although the Rapids neared the goal they could not score. Millenbah showed his ability at bitting the line, making many gains for the Rapids. The game closed with the score 27 to 0 in favor of Appleton. RAPIDS vs. MARSHFIELD The last game of the season was with Marshfield. The game was played at Marsh- field, with both teams determined to win. During the first half of the game neither side scored, although both sides were near to goal. At one time the Rapids held Marshfield for four downs when they were within a yard of the goal. Brandt saved the day by getting in and tackling the man with the ball every time. In the second half Hanneman replaced Schlatterer at end, and towards the close of the game LeRoux took Robinson's place, for Robinson was quite badly injured. About the last four minutes of play Russell LeRoux intercepted a forward pass and made a run of sixty-five yards for a touchdown. D. Matthews replaced R. LeRoux for the rest of the game. Neither side scored after that and the game ended with the score 6 :o 0. (671 MR. MILLER, Coach With but very few men back from the preceding year it was most essential that we have a coach that possessed a wide knowledge of football and also the ability to get out and show his men how to do it. We were fortunate in securing Mr. Miller as our coach as he possessed every quality that a team aiav wish their Commander-in-chief to have. His everlasting and untiring efforts developed for Lincoln High a team of which any school might well be proud. He possessed a large repertoire of trick plays; also wonderful ability to show his men how and when to play them. We shall be very sorry to lose Mr. Miller. LOREN MATTHEWS, Left Half “Kid” Loren playing his first season was valuable both on offense and defense. He was very good in running the ends because of his ability to pivot and dodge. On defense he was quick to size up a play and get the runner after the interference had been broken up by the ends. With two more years to play for Lincoln High, Matthews should be one of the best halves that ever played on a Lincoln team. CLAIRE MILLENBAH, Full Back “Babe” Being one of the few men from the preceding year we expected great things from “Babe” but his work even excelled our hopes. He was equally good on offense and defense. Leaving his feet to break interference was a feature in every game. Posses- sing lots of speed and weight “Babe” could always be relied upon to get there for downs. He was very good at running the ends. “Babe” will be a valuable man next year, and the 1920 team will undoubtedly be built around him. He was chosen by Fair- childs and Watson as half back on the All Sectional eleven. GEORGE HANSON, Center “Red” Hanson at center was a tower of strength. Ho could always be depended upon to stop any play that came his way. Red was never known to shirk. He is a six footer and a fighter every inch. Because of his ability to break through the line and stop a play before it got started he was chosen, by Fairchilds and Watson, as guard on the All Sectional Eleven. [681 GRANT GEE, Right Guard 4 ‘Prong” 1 Prong'9 at guard was a whirlwind. He started out at the beginning of the season as an inexperienced man, but he was determined to become more than a second string man, and his efforts were not in vain. He was a stonewall on defense, and always on the job to open up a hole on the offenre. It will be a difficult task for the man who steps in Grant’s place next year to do as well. EMMETT GAULKE, Right Tackle 4‘Stub 1 Stub” played a silent game, but so much the worse for his opponent. Although a new man he was very valuable, as he was excelled by none in punting. His punts averaged between forty-five and fifty yards, and by this saved the Rapids from having many a touchdown scored against them. LESLIE PLENKE, Right End “Budge” Plenke completed this side of the line. He was always feared bv the opposing team, because of his ability to receive passes and tackle. To make a gain around right end, our opponents always found it impossible, because Budge put them off their feet before they got started, so they were forced to try left end which was equally impossible. CAPTAIN ROY MEUNIER, Quarterback 4 4 Butch “ Butch” played quarterback, and showed wonderful ability in calling the right play at the right time. He was both clever and fast and many a long gain was made by his trick plays. He was a hard player and a sure tackle; no man that ever sifted through the line got by “ Butch.” He was the backbone of the team, alw’ays encour- aging his men to play faster and harder, and was always in the thick of the scrap until the final whistle. “Butch” lias earned the reputation of being one of the cleverest quarterbacks ever seen on the Lincoln field. In the middle of the season, Captain Meunier was injured in the knee, and only his grit kept him on the field the remainder of the time. He will be a great logs to the team next year. “Butch” was chosen, by Fairchilds and Watson, as quarterback on the All Sectional Eleven. CARL BRANDT. Left Guard “Adolph” Playing at left guard “Adolph” found his calling, and throughout the season answered in great shape. While not seeming to exert himself “Adolph” always emerged from the scrimmage at the point where the ball was downed. On the offense the man with the ball was always sure to make a good gain through left guard. Brandt will be a big factor in the 1920 team. FAY ROBINSON, Left Tackle “Robby” Robinson, at tackle, made several of the best plays that have ever been seen on the Lincoln field. “Robby” was good at charging, and tackling and was a constant source of trouble to the opposing team. He was very reliable always playing at his best, Robinson and Brandt working side by side made the best defensive combination at tackle and guard that Lincoln High has ever had. With another season ahead of him “Robby” will be one of the best tackles in the state. JOHN SCHLATTERER, Left End ‘Agony’ ’ John's specialty at end was getting down under the punts and tackling the opponent the instant he caught the ball. Many times the opponent fumbled and John was there 169] II I to fall on the ball making a nice comfortable gain for the Rapids team. Ho was also very good in breaking up interference making it impossible for the opponents to gain on an end run. We are indeed very sorry to lose John. RUSSELL LE ROUX, Right Half “Tubby” Le Roux's line plunging made him a valuable man at half. Using his weight, and running low he was bound to make a gain. He was good at picking the holes, and shot through them like a bullet from a machine gun. He was also good at breaking up passes, and many times intercepted them, this being the case at Marshfield when “Tubby” intercepted a pass and ran sixty-five yards for a touchdown and the g-une. “Tubby” will be a valuable man on the 1920 team. Subs Vendonie Ticknor, Carl Hanneman, Darrell Matthews, Royal Baker, and Leonard Le Roux were ready at an instant to replace any of the regulars. Because of Captain Meunier’s injury Ticknor, as sub-quarterback, had plenty of opportunity to show’ his ability. He performed with all the coolness, and generalship of the regulars. Hannemnn, Matthews. Baker, and Le Roux were not as fortunate as Ticknor but in every instance that they played they performed with all tho steadiness, and effectiveness of first string men. Ballad on Stevens Point Game A team came down from Stevens. Point To do us unto death; We sent them back on the railroad track Unable to draw’ a breath. We sent our men out on the field To win the battle bold; They played like fun to make them run And knock their laurels cold. With drum and shout the Pointers turned out To cheer their ineu along; Their hearts were light, till the last of the fight When Rapids proved too strong. Through the line plunged our w’arriors brave, Gripping the pigskin fast; Ticknor, “Babe”—the players all, Caused the Point to breathe its last. CORONACH TO THE BALLAD Oh long, long may their champion-hopes rest In a dark and gloomy tomb, And hushed by the sound or’ their booming drum, And their school halls filled with gloom. —Folk-Ballad, made by the Eng. Ill, Sec. 1, people. 170] COACH PILE BASKETBALL This year, the school was fortunate in securing Mr. Pile to coach basket ball. Mr. Pile- coached at Mellon, Wisconsin, previous to this year, and while there turned out several winning teams. Although the Rapids team this year was not a winning team it was no fault of Mr. Pile. His time for coaching was very limited but he used every spare moment to help the boys along. He never lost confidence in his men but was always encouraging them. Mr. Pile coached clean and sportsmanlike playing which gained for him a reputation of which any coach might well be proud. Not only could he tell his men how to play but as a good player himself was able to show them how. We hope that Mr. Pile will coach us next year. PLAYERS R.

Meunier, “Butch” “ Butch” played wonderful basketball, in spite of the fact that he had an injured knee. He is small, but he fooled many a guard by his speed and good floor work. He is always good at shooting baskets and made many excellent shots in the various games. This is Roy’s last year and w e are sorry to lose him. L. Matthews, “Kid” In the beginning of the season Loren was changed from guard to forward and he played the position quite well. 'Although lie did not make many baskets he was a great. (71) help to Meunier, for Loren was a wonderful doorman. Loren has two more years to play and great things are expected of him. Claire Millenbah, 44Babe 44Babe” played guard and he held many a forward to no baskets, while he suc- ceeded in scoring many points for the Rapids. 44 Babe” has another year to play and will be a great factor in athletics next season. S. Holberg, 44Swede” Although this was Holbergs first year on the team he was a good man at center for he could jump. He was also good at getting the ball off of the board, and in this way he made many baskets. We are sorry to say that this is Holberg’s last year at school. SUBSTITUTES V. Ticknor, L. LeRoux, and L. Plenke were the subs. They practiced with the team every night and were ready to go into a game whenever they were called upon. We are for lunate in having such dependable subs. Capt. E. Gaulke, 44Stub” 44Stub” played his second year at left guard, and was a dependable player. He was elected captain at the beginning of the season and showed himself well worthy of the honor. “Stub” played every minute of every game, not once having time taken out for himself. Many times 44Stub” brought the crowd to its feet by his spectacular shots from the center of the floor. His clean playing and gentlemanly qualities could well be observed by all Grand Rapids athletes. GRANTON vs. GRAND RAPIDS HE 1920 basketball season opened with a victory for Grand Rapids when they defeated the Granton five by a score of 14 to 13. The game began with fast playing on both sides. Meunier was put out for a few seconds but plunged into the game as hard as ever after exercising his knee some- what. The half ended with a score, 8 to 6, Graud Rapids leading. Fast playing featured the second half. Granton fouled several times and Meunier made two free throws. The final whistle sounded just as a basket the Rapids. The score w’as 14 to 13 in the Rapids favor. NEKOOSA vs. GRAND RAPIDS had a fast team and they were good at shooting baskets, as is shown by the score. In the first half, even before tin game was well started, a Nekoosa man was hurled against Meunier’s knee, and the Rapids forward was disabled for a short time. Later his shoulder was hurt. Several fouls were made on both sides. At the close of the first half Nekoosa led by the score of 9 to 3. Meunier did not play the second half. Leonard LeRoux went into the game in his place, but near the middle of the half Ticknor changed for LeRoux! Nekoosa began almost as soon as the whistle blew' to make baskets while only two were made by the Rapids. When the game ended the score was 25 to 7 in favor of Nekoosa. NEILLSVTLLE vs. GRAND RAPIDS As the game began a Neillsville man fouled and Meunier made the first point with an easy free throw’. The Rapids made five baskets in the first half to Neillsville s one free throw and two baskets. The second half was not as fast as the first, although each team made several baskets. Towards the end of the game Holberg went out, Gaulke moved up to center and Plenke took guard. When the game ended the score was 24 to 17, with the Rapids in the lead. NEKOOSA vs. GPAITD RAPIDS The Rapids was defeated at Ne koosa in spite of p’aying a fast and w’ell fought game. was made by Nekoosa 172] Hull ! «aulkt I Roux Nill« nl «h Plenke lattkewi Mfunlrr Tkknor Pile The Rapids started out splendidly and held the upper hand all through the first half. Plenke was forced to get out of the game when he received a cut over the eye, and Ticknor was substituted. At the end of the first half the score was 8 to 4 in Rapids’ favor. In the second half everything came Nekoosa's way, for they made basket after basket from difficult positions. When the timekeeper's whistle blew the score stood 20 to 8 in favor of Nekoosa. WAUSAU vs. GRAND RAPIDS The Wausau team defeated the Rapids team at Wausau by a score of 28 to 10. The Rapids succeeded in holding their own during the first half, at the end of which the score stood 12 to 9. In the second half the Wausau team succeeded in making a number of baskets, while the Rapids made one free throw'. MARSHFIELD vs. GRAND RAPIDS On Saturday, January 31, the Marshfield basketball team defeated the Rapids bv a score of 29 to 10. The game was better than the score would indicate and both teams exhibited some good team work. The first half ended with the score 13 to 2 in favor of Marshfield. The second half was about the same as the first, but in spite of the lead Marshfield had gained the game was very fast at times and the teams seemed to be quite evenly matched. STEVENS POINT vs. GRAND RAPIDS The Rapids was defeated by Stevens Point by a score of 16 to 19. The game was 1731 IltZZZIi close all the way through and the Rapids was in the lead until half, when Stevens Point succeeded in making two baskets. ................. ........... 1‘oint inado th roe 1' ree?throws which JTvTthZ tUe Zrv '7: 77'° 77 The ™ not get into the g,........ ul.til theTast part ot thi . „d hjtf MineSJ,.ttdhbr, iek, forward and Plenke played guard. v,,,,on!,� ,i had played WAUSAU vs. GRAND RAPIDS one ?o„rt rt7o finS t insulted in dctorv'forw' Z W“ ■ fast one and at the end of {he first hnl. tl'e see w-,?7 Tv Th Jgame w“ “ «'° KeUw,S n :u. n,, f, , In � whistle blew the score was 18 to 10 in Wausau’s favor ' '' ’K °ne' VS h,‘n ,h‘‘ final � poses stfSWWs 'wraa MARSjriFIELD vs. GRAND RAPIDS thantad Ydc to Marshfield, hoping to do better of all efforts was defeated by « wow 8°me g°°d team ork but in -pite STEVENS POINT vs. GRAND RAPIDS . rb“rf‘ soUEh .......

Several newr members were added and the prospects for a good Orchestra were fine. At that meeting the following officers were elected: Edwin Gahl, President; Thomas Dutcher, Treasurer; Fred Reichel, Secretary. During the season the Orchestra assisted the Boy Scouts during Scout Week, playing for the banquet at the Armory and also for the mass meeting at the Opera House. They also filled in one of the Friday afternoons, w'hen it was necessary for a stunt to be postponed. The Orchestra started something this year that has never been attempted before—playing for the hops after the basketball games. A small admission fee was charged and from the proceeds the Orchestra purchased a 'cello. The Orchestra wishes to extend to all those who play the opportunity of joining and meeting regularly for practice and enjoyment. It also wishes to thank the students and public for the support and interest shown in its dealings.

The endmen Hones ami Sambo, were given an opportunity to prove their cleverness, which they did at the expense of some of the students. Next came “The Darky Sunday School.” The verses were sung by Hulda from Holland, Senorita Louisa, Petti Sing, and Kathleen. After more jokes the chorus director serenaded Miss Capenolia. He was under the wrong window, however, and was informed of his mistake bv Sambo. More jokes followed, including Chocolate Drop, who sang “Alone Tee Hee, Alone. The string quartet consisting of the Interlocutor, Petti Sing, Hulda from Holland and Chocolate Drop played several selections. “The Dummy Line” was sung by Sambo, Bones, Yum-Yum, Liza, Cariotta, Beauti- ful Belinda, and Hulda from Holland. . The next number was a solo, “A Tumbled Down Shack in Athlone” sung by Kathleen. The concluding number “Are You From Dixie,” was sung by the entire chorus.

The Magazine Review The Junior entertainment, “The Magazine Review” presented by the Juniors Novem- ber 7th, was one of the most clever programs ever given on our High School stage. As the curtain rose, William Doudna, in his usual role of jester, appeared, and after a few jokes, announced the first number “Country Life in America.” The chorus, which was lead by Doris Kleberg as Huckleberry Finn, consisted of Margaret McGlynn, Lila 1761 Billmeyer, Mildred Philleo, Esther Henrickson, Gwendolyn Glyce, Lueile Plenke, Fawn Werle and Janet Riley. For “Vogue, the next periodical “Ccme, Ccme, I Love You Only was sung by Harold Bell, Leonard Link, Leon Laramie and Carl Arpin, who were dressed in charming feminine garb. The audience was won by their graceful dancing and coquettish manners. Next came “The Modern World, represented by a pantomine. George Gahl took the | art of “Kaiser Bill, Margaret Dingeldein and Helen Peters Red Cross Nurses, and Marion Konash and Herbert Gaulke “Boys in Khaki. Margaret Johnson as “The Modern Priscilla caused a great sensation when she entered, arrayed in a costume of the early fifties, and laden with a bird cage and several hat boxes. With many wild gestures she recited “The Boy Stood On The Burning Deck. The concluding number “Travel was “Sunny Italy sung by Margaret Bossert and Hortense Metzger as Italians. Eunice Fuller proved a capable accompanist. Much credit is also due to Miss Mar- guerite Hartl and Miss Marguerite Ragan, who had charge of the entertainment. Ye Old District Ski ll “Ye Old District Skule, given by the Sophomore Class, November 26th, took us back to grandmother's school days. The scene opened with Kelso Veliquette as school- master, welcoming visitors for the closing day exercises. Several classes were called and the Deacon thought it his duty to catechise the scholars. The answers given by the scholars, and their many pranks caused much laughter. Several of the brighter students were called on to recite, among them Lola Payne, who gave “Ring Out Wild Bells, accompanied by many frantic dramatic gestures. Some of the scholars were awarded prizes for their good work, after which the school- master was presented with a gold-headed cane, as a token of their appreciation. The program ended with the singing of “For He's a Jolly Good Fellow, by the students.

Hunnpinia Junior Dramatics “The Colonel’s Maid,” a delightful three-act comedy written by C. Leona Dairymple, was given Friday evening, January 23, by the Junior Class. The {dot was as follows: Colonel Robert Rudd and Colonel Richard Byrd are bitter enemies because of a duel fought twenty-eight years previous, concerning Mrs. J. John Carroll. After the duel Colonel Byrd had departed for India, thinking Mrs. Carroll had married Colonel Rudd. He is mistaken in this, however, as Colonel Rudd has married Mrs. Carroll’s sister, now •dead. Robert Rudd, Jr., is well liked by Colonel Byrd to whom he is known as “Tom Foster.” Bob is in love with Marjorie Byrd, the Colonel’s daughter. During her father’s absence, she goes to the Rudd home as “Hannah Katzen jammer ” and in her position of maid, captivates Colonel Rudd. Ching-ah-ling is the impertinent Chinese cook who causes many complications in the Rudd establishment on the morning of Mrs. Carroll’s arrival. She is accompanied by her daughter Julia, who is in love with Ned Grayson. To account for his presence in the house, Ned poses as a salesman. His absent-minded- ness proves troublesome. He assumes a different name with each acquaintance and offers for sale a weird combination of articles. Mrs. Carroll and Colonel Rudd have decided on the marriaire of Bob and Julia, but the principals are opposed to it. Colonel Rudd plans to disinherit his son through Attorney James Baskom, and to leave his property to “Hannah.” In the meantime, Colonel Bvrd has returned home unexpectedly and finds his daughter missing. Detectives trail her to the Rudd home where the Colonel comes to search for her. Ching-ah-ling tries to help Bob and Marjorie by preventing Colonel Byrd's seeing his daughter. Colonel Byrd thinks Julia is the maid as she has changed [78] places with Marjorie. Julia and Ned elope, but they return for the coat which Ned has forgotten. Chingah-ling sw res so loudly that the house is awakened, and explanations follow. Emelino consents to marry Colonel Byrd and he and Colonel Rudd become fast friends again. Bob's father admits that he has done the wrong thing by his son and all ends happily. The play was staged under the personal direction of Miss Marguerite Ragan, who deserves much credit for her work. The play contained a great deal of excellent comedy and some very clever character work. The cast was well-chosen and the parts executed in an able manner. The parts of Colonel Robert Rudd taken by Carl Hanneman and Colonel Richard Byrd played bv Ervin Hanneman were well rendered. Margaret Johnson ns Mrs. J. John Carroll was as proud and stately as could be desired, and lived her part exceptionally well. The role of Julia Carroll was played by Lila Billmever with great success. Leon Laramie as Robert Rudd. Jr., did some excellent work. Marjorie Byrd. 44The Colonel's Maid. was acted by Doris Kleberg, who was verv charming in that role. Marion Kenash as Ned Grayson provoked a good many laughs from the audience when he appeared. Thomas Nash ns Attorney James Baskom made a perfect lawyer. Perhaps the character which brought the greatest number of laughs from the audience was Ching- ah ling, played by Jim Kellogg. Between Acts During first intermission girls representing Huckleberry Finn appeared and sang the song of that name. The audience was highly pleased with this specialty. For the second pause, Hortense Metzger and Margaret Bossert sang Sunny Italy in costume, after which Margaret Johnson dressed in a costume of the early fifties, con- vulsed her listeners with her blood and thunder reading. Eunice Fuller was pianist for the specialties. Carl Arpin was business manager for the play. William Doudna was advertising manager and Esther Henrieksen property manager. Girls Glee Glub The Girls' Glee Club reorganized September 18th with a membership limited to sixtv girls. Ruth Kellner was elected President, Carol Boorman Vice-President, Alice Damon Treasurer, and Loretta Kluge Secretary. The first social function was a cos- tume party held in the Music Room. Though a Girls Only, the boys showed their interest in the affair by stationing themselves on the fire escape. After the first rehearsal of Captain Crossbones, about fifty members of the Glee Club gave a banquet to the lady members of the faculty. Miss A. E. Hayward acted as toast mistress.

She’s worked to make our Glee Club Something of pride to all; Now, girls, here’s to our leader, To dear Miss Bradford, A joy to all.” The comic opera, “Captain Crossbones,” by Arthur A. Penn, was given at the Opera Houne April 22 and 23. RESUME OF PLOT Scenes ACT I. Garden of Don Cubeb’s mansion in the suburbs of Havana. (A week elapses.) ACT II. The pirates’ lair in the Isle of Pines. Time—About the year 1885. Don Cubeb de Cigarro is a haughty old Spanish grandee who plans to marry his only daughter, Theresa, to a Spanish nobleman she has never seen. She is kept prisoner within the boundaries of her father's estate outside Havana. Richard Stoneybroke, a young American planter, is in love with Theresa and resolves to capture her for his own. He and a number of his friends of the Isle of Pines disguise themselves as a band of real, blood-thirsty piiates and invade the old Don's estate. The pirates manage to frighten the Don half to feath, and carry off Theresa, Eleanor, and Miss Polling to the Isle of Pines. b At a nearby hotel the wives and sweethearts are enjoying an unexpected vacation, and visit the pirates from time to time. The Don comes to ransom his daughter, and although he meets both Captain Crossbones and Richard Stoneybroke, he does not recog- nize them as the same person. Richard makes an agreement with the Don to rescue his daughter from the pirates if the Don will give him Theresa's hand in marriage and make him his heir. Richard and his friends dispose of Captain Crossbones and his pirates, and the old Don is forced to keep his word.

What do the three months’ vacation mean to us? To some it means three months of continuous play, every day from morning until night, others have a small amount of work mixed with their play. Some find that most of the time of the three months is taken up with work. With some the time is divided, work, study, and recreation. To us Seniors it means a launching out into a new life, in many ways different than the past. What are we going to do? Surely we don’t want to waste time, which is so precious. It is time to begin to take life more seriously if we haven’t already begun. Don’t think you have to give up every recreation but we must prepare ourselves to be the men and women of our country in years not so very far distant. For some there are yet several years of study at various colleges and universities; some immediately go forth into the world of work. Also some will mix work with study. We will all attend the “University of Knocks.’’ Don’t think when you receive a knock that it is the worst knock that any- body ever nad for “nothing is so bad but what it might be worse.” Seniors! go forth with the determination to win, be a big one and shake to the top, don’t fall to the bottom. C. I. H. Thank Advertisers In an old Ahdawagam we ran across the statement: “There will be no advertising disfiguring the new Ahdawagam. Instead we have included a city directory.” We believe that that staff had the wrong idea of advertising. Probably, too, in those days paper and ink were not so high, not to say anything about labor. In these days when paper is high and labor still higher we must put advertisements in the Ahdawagam to make both ends meet. Keeping advertisements out is not fair to the merchants and manufacturers who have an interest in the school. Many of them, to help the Ahdawagam along, wish to put in a half or a quarter page of advertising. If they do it only in sympathy with us, thinking it will not yield returns they are mistaken. The Ahdawagam is as good an advertising medium as any magazine with a restricted circulation. When one family gets its annual and has finished reading it, it is passed along to some other family and so on. Moreover, the magazine is read over and over from cover to cover many times. Whenever one has nothing to do he gets out old copies of Ahdawagam and reads them. Nevertheless we are thankful to our advertisers; without them we could never put out an annual. Last year the cost cf supplies, engraving, printing, etc., amounted to about $800. The sale of the magazine at a dollar upiece brought in $450 leaving $350 for the advertisers to pay. Usually the advertisements net about $200. Any deficit is made up from proceeds of other school activities. Too, we wish to thank our advertisers for their cooperation in getting out this year’s Ahdawagam, even though wc are sure it will repay them many times. THOMAS NASH, ’21. (841 Attention ai Bi sure to notice the cover design and page heading done by Henry Kwasigroch. Unfortunately two of the members of the Staff were unable to be in the picture on account of illness. We, the Ahdawagam StalT of 1920, greatly appreciate the hearty co-operation of the different departments in helping to make our annual a success. The Art Depart- ment, Typewriting, and English deserve special mention. We are especially grateful for the helpful suggestions of members of the faculty and contributions by alumni. Owing to the fact that but one story wras handed in at the closing date of the Literary Contest, the contest was called off. However, the Kodak picture contest was held and the results are announced elsewhere. Need of Parliamentary Drill You have often noticed in what an unbusinesslike way our class meetings are carried on. There certainly is a need of drill among the students in the way in which meetings should be conducted and the sooner we learn this the better. Here is one solution. In some high schools they have the two bodies corresponding to Congress. The House of Representatives consists of boys and the .Senate of girls. Each Representative and Senator chooses a state. There is the Chairman of the House who conducts the meetings. They discuss up to date topics about things that are really going on in the country. Bills are introduced as in Congress, referred, debated upon, voted on, sometimes passed, some- times not. Generally in these student bodies vacancies are filled by the vote of the other members. Each one elected has to have certain qualifications and has to make a speech before accepted. At these meetings, both House of Representatives and Senate, certain of the faculty are the critics telling them where they can improve, how well they have- done, bringing out the particular points to show’ the members whether or not they are doing it correctly. This stimulates more interest. These branches hold meetings separately. The program of the Senate is planned by a number of the members chosen for that purpose at the previous meeting to prevent any haphazard thing. The members of these branches not only have a chance to learn Parlia- mentary rules but it also gives them a chance to learn to organize material for discussion and debating, orate to a certain extent, plan affairs. This gives a chance for other, different study and credit is also gained from it. Let us have some such organization. Such training never comes amiss in any person’s life. C. I. H. Kodak Picture Contest To act as a judge for such a contest is not an enviable position. The snapshot plates are an evidence of that. A number of other interesting pictures were entered, but some were too small to reproduce well, and ethers were repetition of individuals shown in other poses. A committee of faculty awarded first place to “Margaret and Mary Jane” contributed by Low Wilcox. As a prize Lois will receive the first Ahdawagam given out.

GOCD MANNERS AND GOOD FORMS Never get to class on time. If you come in late the class can look you over while you are climbing over them. Never pay any attention to notices read in the main room.

MY REPORT CARD My drawing was excellent,” My spelling was fine, My arithmetic was not so good But I’ll do better next time. Two children—a girl and a boy, Sat in assembly of Lincoln High. Neither was working as he should, And a teacher did them spy. One was called to the front seat, The other was left to pine; But each received a compound To be handed in next day at nine. A woodpecker lit on a Freshman’s head And settled down to drill; He worked away for half a day, And finally broke his bill. I THE USUAL WAY Little John went home one day, Four E’s on his card. “Won’t Ma be proud f” they heard him say, “She knows 1 worked so hard.” His mother sympathized with him, Her Johnny worked so hard, Of course ’twas all the teacher’s fault, That he had N’s on his card. Six short weeks again passed by And Johnny did work hard. But of course ’twas not the teacher’s fault That he had E’s on his card. —K. D. ’20. Six weeks later, ah, fatal day, His card again he had. The four bright N’s upon its face Made him a sorrowful lad.

Not being one of Good Old “Nineteen-ten ’sM educators or lawyers, he was not at once completely swamped with brilliant ideas for an article. Rather, he spent two days wondering what to say, then finally had really a brilliant thought, for him. He would look up the graduation exercises of the most famous of all Lincoln High’s Classes. Look- ing up the old records did not help at all. He found that the genius displayed by his class at that time, was so far above him, that he could not even use it for a pattern. He could not even recognize his own work of that time, it was so far above his present state. Cne thing, however, was of real interest. “The Class of 1910“ shortly after gradua- tion, formed an Alumni Association. For unknown causes, surely not the lack of support on the part of “1910“ itself, this association never flourished. Perhaps in the recent graduating classes and especially iu the class of 1920, enthusi- asm enough can be found to organize. I am certain that I voice the sentiment of the whole class in saying “We of the Class of 1910 will take an active part in organizing, and will do our part to maintain an Alumni Association of Grand Kapids High School Graduates.” G. C. H. r fo the Class of 1920 Greetings from the class of 1915. Many of our class have left Grand Rapids, W'ood County, and even the State of Wisconsin; but it makes no difference where we are, we can still appreciate the things that the patient teachers of the Lincoln High did for us during our four years’ sojourn there. Five years have passed since wre received our passports from good old Lincoln High. Armed with these, we gladly went forth to answer the world’s call to service. Soon you, too, will be ready to answer the same call; each to do his “the best” in Ins chosen field; each to do his part in making the world a better place to live in. The Class of 1915 sends to you a hearty welcome as you step forth “from school life to life’s school.” The Alumni surely appreciate your annual, “The Ahdawagam,” which improves in size and interest each year. May the 1920 Ahdawagam mean as much to you ns our 1915 number does to us in recalling some of the happiest years of our lives, spent in those wonderful halls of learning given to the City of Grand Rapids, by its citizens through its Board of Education. Whatever your high school education means to you now, it will moan more as the years go by. Next fall, I hope to hoar that many of the graduating Class of 1920 will be enrolled in some of Wisconsin’s higher institutions of learning. The advantages to be gained from such an education are many. Success to the Class of 1920 and to Lincoln High. E. C. E., ’15. IN MEMORIAM William J.
