In this year book we have tried to set down some of the epochal events of our high school career. We feel that we have not been without mistakes in making this book, and do not crave your sympathy, but ask simply that you criticize fairly. We hope that in the years to come you may find pleas- ure as you scan this record of former joyful high school days. -The Staff. DEDICATION To our Fathers and Mothers through whose un- tiring efforts and noble self-sacrifice we have been enabled thus far to prepare ourselves for the position in life in which we are to make our contribution to the progress of humanity, we, the Seniors affectionately dedicate this volume.

Manual Training It is better to be bold than not bold enough. -E- -I-O-R- One day all of our honorable Seniors start out for a ride. As many as possible pile into Johnny's Red-ford, Jean and Caroline's Nash, Guy's Cole, and all the other Ottos that could be obtained. The rest manage to crowd into Sophia Sulli' tsl Van that follows in the Wake of another Van which is already filled. Jean asks, Wil-ma Bell be our chaperone? No, calls John, Nor-ma Bunde either, but maybe we can Tfhjel-ma Young to come with us. They finally secure a chaperone and start out. Clara Kirsch-lingers so long on Waterstreet talking to Frank that she misses out on the ride entirely. Mabel's Bear runs along beside the fender of Carl's Otto, while Roma's Bever amuses the crowd in Guy's Cole. John not watching very closely where he is going and as the road is Choppie, he bumps 1Ht0 the rear of Earl's Otto. The fender receives the worst part of the shock and after John ejaculates, Hel -en Gee, he asks Charles to Bend-er back into shape. They go on to Pomainville without any further accidents. Here Juanita Parks herself in an ice-cream parlor and Donald Frie-tags along. They there hear Ulysses fsqJUehling for Bernard's QSiweeney but Gertrude Thlujrows it to Carl Hackbarth and later Antoin-ette it. They then join the rest of the crowd and leave for Wittenberg By Ron-Con way. They pass through a Crotteau fgrottoj and then cross a stretch of lowlands. Before they realize it they Settle Qin thej Meyer which is very Gleue. One car after another becomes firmly fixed and all the Seniors scramble out to help. Mildred Boss-ert her hand and Rob-ert his shoulder when trying to help move one of the cars. A Mary Wagfoiner, a Cole man, and a Miller come along and tell them they will have to get Gerald the Smith to help them out. Anne Lund-quist the men to find out how far they were from Wgtenberg, and when she found out she said, Maybe we are nearer Arpin, or West- en org. Blanche moaned, Oh, we'll be here for Weeks. Charles and Evelyn Gaze ly flee! ward, while Mary Hobbflejs off to get help. Merle Crance felt sort of sick and Leonard Sang-er to sleep. Hilma Worfljund er her coat a sweater with several buttons off. She had a needle and thread, as well as the buttons however and asks, Bernard Bra-zeau these on will you please '? He refuses however, so Verna speaks up and says, I Das sow them on for you, and she occupies herself with this while waiting for something to happen. A dark cloud comes up and soon fiurries of snow are falling. Mildred Wales, and the Howlett out by Helen becomes Schirjiller and Schfriiller. Esther says her Daly prayers, repeating verses of Matthew and Luth, while Phyllis Millen with her usual Bah! begins to storm. Dorothy Waldfab Voglefisti and Henry another Voglefisti try to keep everyone amused. Evelyn Bi sifnl gs, Mildred Love me, and Conrad uses his Wit to the utmost that the others may be kept in good spirits. But it does not bring even a Ray of hope to them. As they are beginning to notice the pangs of hunger, Ellen Wal afsjks, A melfiai Schalllaj we have? Yes, if Phyllis Rock-wood take Elmer Kristof's ski and go to Athanasius Kubi's shack where Leo Neit zels Electric Maid products, exclaims Henry Leslie. As she is soon persuaded to go she departs with Hilde to gfuiard her. In the meantime a fGJladys Shearier comes along and fixes Hilma's sweater so she climbs into Earl's Otto to try to start it. She soon finds that a Spark Plug is missing and that Leonard had broken Thefrpaxel so she gives it up and deBates with Pearl about the cause of the trouble. Suddenly all attention is centered on a group approaching from the distance. It proves to be the rescue crew consisting of Jacob's son, Na's son, J ohn's son, Erick's son, and Gil's son who came jingling up to the bunch in Beardfsi sley. Dorothy fairly Crows with joy at the prospect of rescue, while Hof's child drinks some of France's Booze and accidentally pulls the Trieger of Hilliard's gun in his excitement. Nels the Justice son soon restores peace and order, and after a few hours of hard labor the rescuers have our noble Seniors on their way again. Merriment reigns supreme as out of John's Jung le emerges Hug fhje Dame on Henry Dorfsj horst who is trying to pull Carl Fin up to her side. As Carl objects very strenuously and the Hugh Dame shows signs of violence, they consider it necessary to aid Carl so in one bound William McFar lands on the scene and afterwards Norman Drew Qhisj son over. Viola Ris-tows Bernard Mart in to the fight and after Frankly Warring for a short time the Hugfhje Dame is forced to 1'elease Carl. fThey said afterwards that she certainly must have presented to Er ma a Gaulky specimen when she arrived home.J They now notice that the snow has ceased to fall as the Earl Le Roux, one of Mar- garet'S earles, exclaims, Oh Karl, there's a Ifoenfonjus. Meade g Reeves because Gerfcurj trude fchewedl the Plenk he is sitting on but Nina Warren says, Never mind, 1 oiwln a Pafijnter who'll fix it for you. He's George the Dentist's son. Well all right, but we've got to get to Wittenberg Byn'by QBeinJ, exclaims Helen. Alvin Vaughn suggests a race to see which car can get to the Hotel Le Roy al first, and the idea is readily accepted. First the radiators demand, Phyl us with WaClJter, and after Dick Burfnjt his linger trying to take off the caps, it was necessary to get Gustav with his Manz strength to remove them. This being accomplished, all attention is directed to the coming race. Clayre yells, I'll bet Ed wins. I'll bet Clarence Bald wins! shouted anothe1', and during much ex- citement the cars line up for the event. As the signal is given they rush forward with a great velocity as one tire on one car is heard to burst someone is heard to exclaim, Hel en fthej Keyser!! Nearer and nearer to Wittenberg speed the Seniors. There! at last-all unite in the exclamation--Ed wins. They now have reached their destination and thereby ended their eventful journey. All dgclare they had a wonderful time in spite of all the trouble but then, what's trouble to a enior . Elizabeth Pomainville '21, BOLES HERRON DIXON KAUDY Junior Class Oflicers Robert Kaudy ------ President Bernard Boles - Vice-President Marion Dixon - Secretary Agnes Herron ----- Treasurer Most class histories begin thus: With pale faces and wobbly knees a gang of green freshies entered Lincoln High three years ago for the first time, But that can't be said of the Juniors of '24, They never were green and certainly they didn't have wobbly knees. In fact the class of '25 has been a most extraordinary one in more respects than those mentioned. Even though they were merely getting acquainted with each other and the rest of the school during their Freshman year they gave a stunt and two peppy class parties. In fact all their parties were such successes that even the teachers looked forward to them with eagerness. There has always been a goodly number of the boys both in basket- ball and football. Without the Juniors there would not be much of a basket-ball team this year. As for society J uniors have always been strong for society! All the clubs in school have their share from the class of '25. But then, that's nothing as we said before the Juniors have Always been an extra-ordinary class. BOSSERT BEARDSLEY REMBER DUNCAN Sophomore Class Officers Ruth Bossert - President Florence Duncan - Vice-President Earl Rember - - - Secretary Harold Beardsley - - Treasurer . CLASS HISTORY When the class of 1926 entered Lincoln High School on September 7, 1922, it num- bered over two hundred students, the largest class that had ever enrolled there. Of course we were green! What Freshman class is not? Let it be said to our credit that our degree of greenness was no greater than that usual with Freshman classes. Those of us who had attended the eighth grade here soon adopted ourselves to the new conditions and the others followed suit. Our first important act was the election of class officers. Howard Burt was chosen president, Francis Brockman, vice president, Harvey Gee, secretaryg and Eilien Cooper, treasurer. Ruth Bossert and Edward Hougen were elected to the Student Council. Our affairs were ably managed by these competent cflicers. The official recognition of our class was marked by the Sophomore party to which we were invited. The Sophomores entertained us well and showed themselves to be good sports despite their previously overbearing anl arrogant ways. Late in the year we returned the compliment. Our class was said to be the best that ever entertained at Lincoln High. When, on September 5, 1923 we assembled again, we noted many new members and missed some of the old. Our number, however, remained nearly the same as before. Early in the year we held elections and we now have the following ofiicers: Ruth Bosseft, presidentg Florence Duncan, vice-president, Earl Rember, secretary, and Harold Beardsley, treasurer. Violet Plenke and Edward Hougen are our representatives to the Student Council this term. This year our class entered very fully into the social activities cf the school. We are well represented in Mask and Wig, Gamma Sigma, Glee Club, Apollo Club, Letterman's Club, and the Orchestra. Two members of our class took places in the Oratorical and Declamatory Contests. Several athletes of note are among' our mem- bers tand here we might mention that much is expected of them in the futui-el. Early in the autunm the Sophomores entertained the Freshmen. All of us had an entjoyable time. Later at Hallowe'en they returned the compliment. Many and queer costumes were seen at this event given in the form of a masked party! One of the querest was that of a negro, Betty Baker. A jolly time was enjoyed by all who at- tended. It is not impossible that the class of 1926 will rank as the largest, best and most important ever graduated from Lincoln High!! I. G. '26 KELLOGG Clifford Dolan, President Dorothy Kellogg, Vice-President So we the Freshmen came to high school, Came to our great Lincoln High School, Came to work, and gather knowledge, From our teachers and our elders. We are full of pep and spirit, Full of class and high school spirit. Proud of great athletic victories! E students! Also proud of our SMART CLARK DOLAN Freshmen Class Officers Marion Clark, Secretary Barbara Smart, Treasurer l We have officers who please us, Those who wisely represent us. Also in the Student Council, Have we members with the others We do our part in all athletics, Both in boys' and girls' athletics, For the girls our 4 A meetings Prove a source of much enjoyment. Once we gave a costume party, It was sure a real fine party. And the Sophomores who were with us, Hardly knew us when they saw us. So we're hoping, as we're growing, Both in poise and wisdom growing, That our Freshman year among you, Our apprentice year among you- May be but the first of four years, May be only one of four years, Filled with happiness and labor, Filled with love for our Old Lincoln. R. R. '27 BROWN HOLMES JACKAN SHARRETTE Eighth Grade Oflicers Harold Brown - President Grace Holmes Vice-President Dorothy -Iackan Secretary Clarence Sharrette - Treasurer September seventh, 1923 a group of bashful boys and girls were seen in the lower hall of Lincoln High School. They were peering anxiously into room eight evidently eager to enter yet not quite bold enough. Some few, braver than the rest, walked in but the others stood outside, jostled and pushed by the crowds of high school students who rushed upstairs toward the assembly room. The new comers gazed at the upper class- men, envying their self confidence. Would they ever be so sure of themselves in this big building? At last a gong rang and a teacher came to the door and called the strangers in. And frovm then on through the year they were part and parcel of the eighth grade of 1923-24. This year's eighth grade has been unique in at least two respects. It is the largest grade that has ever been seen in this building and has more boys than girls. There have been ninety-four pupils in the grade, but some d1'0pped out because of sickness or removal from town until our number has dwindled to a me1'e eighty-nine. Fifty of these are boys. We are a remarkable class in another way. The ve1'y first day of school we lea1'ned that Miss Hatch's room was room eight. It didn't take more than two weeks for us to learn that Miss Rossman taught history in 1'oom three and Miss Emmons taught arith- metic in room two. It took us quite a while to learn to remember that music comes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but by the end of the semester we did not have to be re- minded of the fact every time. Room eight is our assembly room and here we sit three in a seat. It is pretty hard to be very good under such conditions but we try to do the square thing by our fellow pupils and our teachers. In the high school assembly room we sometimes get into trouble copying the ways of the high school people and not getting away with it as they do. Then we have to stay after school for the teacher in charge and each time we resolve it shall never happen again. We have our own class oflicers and though we are members of the High School Athletic Association, we have also an eighth grade athletic association of which John Dunn is president. The boys organized a basketball team and played several games with The Rinkeydinksn and the boys at Biron. Our class officers are Harold Brown, President, Grace Holmes, Vice Presidentg Dorothy Jackan, Secretaryg and Clarence Sharette, Treasurer. We entered the state essay contest last November with the result that Dorothy Jackan and John Dunn won a trip to th Products Exposition in Milwaukee. That is another thing that distinguishes our class from any other-no other eighth grade from Wisconsin Rapids has won like honors. We do not claim perfection for our class but we are working hard, and do not intend to let the Lincoln School be ashamed of us when we enter it next fall as Freshmen. 1 K ' 4 4 A, F.. .1 0.5, .Hgfn V li' '.. .gf'A,. v 'x' . vvvmvmzn.

Nash tuclent Council Student Council, organized in 1923, has continued to be one of the active and formative elements of Lincoln High School life. It is composed of the presidents of the classes and all school organizations, and a representative boy and girl from each class. The purpose of the council is to manage student affairsg present to the faculty members of the students' view-point, and initiate new plans. Last year it organized an alumni association that has proved beneficial to the school. This year the Council conducted the first annual all-school primary and general election of all school, and class oiiicers, assisted in the organization of cheering at games, promoted social activities, and good fellowship between the students, and the students and faculty.

The work which deals with Public Speaking has been revived, at last, in Lincoln High School: to help it, the Mask and Wig Dramatic Club has graciously donated a beautiful cup for the encouragement of work in both oratory and debate. A response was called for last year and it came--it came a roaring! All the con- testants worked hard: and by the time the finals began there was the keenest competi- tion among both the boys and girls. But everything like this usually ends. So this contest ended as ccntests do, with the best representatives of oratory and declamation on top-on top of the cup too. The names of Mildred Bossert and Nels Justeson lie in state upon that silver cup, an incentive to future years. Again this year the fuss began, and more fellows and girls responded. Let us pause and I shall deliver their names to you. Well, here they are, and if your name is not among them try out next year and it will surely appear: The Collier's Dying Son medidated upon by Grace Westenborg Little Charlie given away by Norma Bunde How the Gospel Came to Jim Oaks auctioned off by Fern Hamiel Biff Perkins imparted upon by Mildred Green Scene of the Natural Bridge invoked by Anna Corcoran Poor Little Joe sent C. 0. D. by Lenore Fridstein Engineer Connor's Son vetoed by Evelyn Bissig Death of Paul Dombey brought to light by Eleanor Hall Little Bill responded by Blanche Weeks The Outcast's Plea let out by Amelia Schalla Tim's Vacation rendered by Florence Eckenrod The Black Horse and His Rider driven by Margaret Searls Prentiss First Plea displaced by Paschaline Le May. fSpace is where the oratorical list begins and the declamatory list ends: Writer also goes down for ten counts. Bell rings. Resumes writing.J Gettysburg Address syllabicated and lubricated by Ben Rossier The Triumph of Truth sung by George Jacobson South Carolina uprooted by Julian Arpin Lincoln's Last Inaugural cast out by Herbert Johnson American and International Peace masticated by Don Odegard Incentives to Duty incinerated by Nels Justeson The New South forced out by Harold Beardsley. Each of us was unconscious for about four minutes after his part of the performance. Gee! It's a lot of fun when you get started practicing fteachers claim it does some goodj but it's fun anyway! Well we did some more work--over-coming friction, mostly hot air. Then we sailed on to the galla day. It came with a bang, and alas, hopes rose and fell! The outcome of the declamatory contest was as follows: Mildred Greene finished the four-forty in fifty flat with Biff Perkins g Florence Eckenrod jumped six feet with Tim's Vacation g Amelia Schalla threw the javelin one hundred and seventy-five feet with The Outcast's Plea , Evelyn Bissig poll vaulted eleven feet seven inches with Engineer Connor's Son , and Leanore Fridstein broke the hundred in nine flat with Poor Little Joe. In the Oratorical Contest a Dusenberg, Stutz Special, and a straight eight special flashed over, a triple tie, driven by Nels Justeson assisted by Incentives to Duty , Harold Beardsley helped by The New South , and George Jacobson supported by The Triumphs of Truth. Now, the1'e's going to be another contest and the best orator and the best de- claimer will then get their names on the cup. This year they are to be sent to Stevens Point where they are to be knocked cold on May 2, 1924. Whoop-e-el We have en- tered the state contest! C Sorry this has to go to p1'ess before winners are announced. But we know this much that the best two will receive the honors. The best of good luck to all of youll Paroxysm II Scene opens on Debate. How'd you like the debate? It was fine. Wasn't it? Now to those who don't know, I shall refer you to Dec. 19, in the calendar. The question was: Resolved, that the United States should cancel all allied war debts. The negative side consisting of Roseanna Bennett, Nels Justeson, and Hank Leslie won. The defeated heroes were Gertrude Thurow, Jean Nash, and Sy Conway. However this was not the only debate of the season. Miss Upson, Miss Foltz, Miss Heifron, and all those teachers who are associated with English have had some very good debates in their classes. The Public Speaking Class challenged other classes to debates during the year. Let's have more of it! Why doesn't our school wake up and have a few debates with Stevens Point, Medford, and other schools? Let's do it next year! Paroxysm III Scene relapses to Oratory. Time: March, 1924. The question of the day is whether we want to go to Washington or not. A nation- al newspaper contest dealing with oratory is being held. Six thousand seven hundred dollars is going to be given away as prizes. The winner of the school contest here goes to Marshfield. The winner of the Marshfield contest goes to Barron, Wisconsin. The winner at Barron goes to St. Paul. At St. Paul, one thousand seven hundred dol- lars in prizes will be given away. The winner at St. Paul goes to Kansas City, where the meeting will be presided over by Herbert Hoover. The winner at Kansas City will be sent to Washington, D. C. At Washington, five thousand dollars will be given away in prizes, and the meeting will be presided over by President Coolidge, the judges being the judges of the United States Supreme Court. The essays are on the Constitution, Washington and the Constitution, Hamilton and the Constitution, Marshall and the Constitution, Webster and the Constitution, and Lincoln and the Constitution. Essays of the following students received places in the semi-finals in our school: Verna Dassow, Henry Vogl, Bernice Fritz, Carl Otto, Mary Wagner, Bob Kaudy, Mildred Love, Dorothy Waldvogel, Jessie Sanford, Eva Erick- son, Mildred Bossert, Gertrude Nieman, Ann Lundquist, John Jung, Thelma Witten- burg, Earl Otto, Gertrude Thurow, Lulu Gilson, Elsie Adams, Morris Balliet, Carolyn Knutson, Arvilla Piltz, Isabelle Walters, George Einup, Grace Swaricek, Herbert John- ion, lgorman Brahmstadt, George Jacobson, Florence Sonnenberg, Ruth Lord and Al- ert tto. On March 27, 1924, the finals for the Marshfield contest were held. The number of entrants had dwindled down to nine, but it had not dwindled in spirit. List of orations were as follows: No. 1, The Constitution and Daniel Webster by George Jacobson, No. 2, The Constitution by Ruth Lord, No. 3, Our Constitution by Robert Kaudyg No. 4, The Constitution and the Negro by Dorothy Waldvogelg No. 5, Lincoln and the Constitution by Herbert Johnson, No. 6, Marshall and the Constitution by Eva Erickson, No. 7, Inviolability of the Constitution by Gertrude Thurow, No. 8, The Const1tion by Florence Sonnenberg, No. 9, John Marshall and the Constitution by Norman Brahmstadt. The Judges were Miss Ellis, Miss Eversz, and Mr. Hollister. Good Judges, aren't they? The winner was Herbert Johnson who came through with Hying colors. His photograph is to be placed in the St. Paul Dispatch along with the names of the next two highest, George Jacobson and Gertrude Thurow. It surely was a good contest. We want more of them! Paroxysm IV Scene opens with a different view point. Time-at the close of the essay. Public Speaking class has a real value. Ask any business man. They all have to use it. You know where-at banquets, directors' meetings and many other places. You may be called upon at any time to give a speech. You want to make it interesting, and bring out what you want to say. Be prepared-but how? Take Public Speaking. It helps you everywhere-even in athletics, because it teaches you how to breathe correct- ly. .Lust try Public Speaking. Help to raise the standard of Public Speaking in Lincoln Hig . Let's wake up Lincoln High to the fact that there are more fields in which to win. Come on fellows and girls!

Mask and Wi Mask and Wig has accomplished several things this year that have been of state renown. Their calendar of weekly programs studying dramatics, has been used by larger societies as a model. This calendar is a new idea. The programs consist of the study of representative dramatists from each country combined with variations of music and dancing. These programs have proved very successful. As its annual gift, Mask and Wig presented the school with stage draperies, which have long been needed. These curtains were used for the Senior Class Play, as they are free for use to any organization in high school. In securing funds for purchasing the draperies, the members of Mask and Wig presented three one act plays: The Florist Shop, a delightful comedyg Toyland, an original production by the club membersg and Joint Owners in Spain, a bag full of laughs. These plays brought the cash. Initiation, this year, as a result of large attendance at the tryouts, from which splendid material was selected, was quite an anxiety, lto those to be initiatedl. Indeed, it had its thrills, when Mindy Love did her fantastic dance on grape-nuts, and Blanche Weeks tried to walk a straight chalk line, but could not go straight. Florence Ecken- rod gained fame as a fairy tale authority, when she told The Three Bears, which was dramatized by a wonderful cut, including Thelma Whittenberg as Goldy Locks. The others featured in imitating animals, lthat came natural.l All members enjoyed a sleigh ride party to Biron the latter part of January. Al- though the crowd was in the road most of the time, they had a rip roaring time. The party ended by intruding upon the quietude of Akey's Restaurant, for hot chile. The ofiicers are: Wilma Bell, presidentg Phyllis Millenbah, vice-presidentg Evelyn Bissig, secretary, and Roseanna Bennett, treasurer. They have always W0l'k6il in co- operation with out advisors, Miss Hellron and Miss Eversz. The colors are yellow and white, and the fiower is the Shasta Daisy. The motto is taken from l-Iannlet's Advice to His Actors. It is: Let your own discretion be your tutor. This successful year will be ended by having a grand formal banquet on May 17, 1924. We hope to have this become an annual event in Mask and Wig. Keep up the good work next year, girls! PALACE WISCONSIN RAPIDS, WIS. Mofzday, lllrzrch JU, at 8:15 P. M.

Boys' Glce Club The Boys' Glee Club of this year can boast of being the most talented of any of the previous clubs, according to Miss Bradford, the director. Nearly all the members are good at solo work and have made several ap- pearances in public this year. The club was organized at the beginning of the school year with very few of last year's members in it. The following officers were elected: President ........... .............. If 'rank Warren.

Quartette In 1921 the first Boys' Quartette was organized with Mr. Middlecamp, Babe Millenbah, Carl Hanneman and Wendell Miscoll as its members. In 1922 a change took place as all the members of the '21 Quartette were graduated and Tom Dutcher, Mike Meilicke, Orie Giese and Dump Timm took their places. Another year passed and two of the '22 Quartette were graduated leav- ing Dump and Mike with Hod Bell and Nosey Kleberg as the new members. This year a great change took place. A Double Quartette was organ- ized having the following members: Elmer Busse, Nosey Kleberg 1st ten- or, Dutch Burt, Clarence Baldwin 2nd tenor, Carl Finup, Geo. Small- brook 1st bass, Hod Phinney, Geo. Gibson 2nd bass. The Double Quartette has appeared this year at a meeting of the C. D. A. Club, twice before the assembly room, and before the Rotary Club. The efforts of the Quartette have not all been in town, however. On two occasions the group sang at Biron and Vesper. The success of the Double Quartette is credited to the intense and un- tiring work of Miss Bradford. WEEKS BEVER PLENKE BISSIG Girls?

We made our debut in the main room shortly after the quartette was or- ganized and have also sung at the Congregational Church in the Girls' Glee Club's First Annual Concert in 1923, before the Assembly, and in the mixed chorus which is composed of the Boys' Double Quartette and the Girls' Quartette.

Provisions have been and are being made to fill the vacancy of those leaving this Spring, so that in a few years, we are going to make the band as important as any organization in our school. In a larger sense, howevei, it is our purpose to cooperate with all the different orgjanizations, and the individuals as well, to give what we can in creating' an all-round better, truer and more genuine School-Spirit.

Orchestra The orchestra has had a very successful year in 1924. It has been working' ex- ceptionally hard, and has given its annual concert at the Ideal Theater besides playing for the Harvest Festival, the Senior Class Play, the operetta, and also for the assembly. Under the able direction of M1's. Nettie Booth-Wegg, the orchestra has been im- proving and increasing year by year and even though seven of the twenty-one mem- bers are seniors, it is certain that the orchestra will be as large or larger next year.

By Elizabeth Pomainville. CARNIVAL October 20, 1923, 11 p. m. Dear Dorothy: I just arrived home from the carnival and am so excited and pleased with it that I just have to sit right down and write you all about it. The carnival was a great success to begin with. Just imagine, we cleared three- hundred fifty dollars for our newly organized athletic association. Isn't that splendid? Most of the credit is due to the executive committee, Mr. Hollister and Miss Ellis, who planned and sponsored the whole affair, Millie Bossert, Helen Gee, Bernard Brazeau, John Redford, George Gibson and Dick Burt. This committee appointed sub com- mittees, and all the teachers and students helped to make it one grand success. The affair began at six-thirty o'clock and continued until about ten forty-five. When we arrived at Lincoln High we scarcely recognized the same building because of the great excitement, hilarity, and the great throngs that filled the familiar halls. Every- where one could see and hear Carnival! Carnival! On the first floor we heard the hall criers shout, Come and see Noah's Ark! This way, this way to see the great Boxing Match! Candy, ice cream and lemonade, re- sounded from the other corner. In front of the bookkeeping room we perceived a group advertising its performance just as they do in the really and truly carnivals. It looked so promising that we attended this firstg it was the Story Book Ball, and it was just as cute as it could be. It was given by the Four A's, who symbolized Mother Goose rhymes: Cat with the Fiddle, Little Miss Muffet, Mother Witch, Queen of Hearts, Little Boy Blue, etc. We also attended the other side shows on the first floor: the Box- ing Match and Noah's Ark. Notorious Blue Beard with his murdered wives was shown on the first landing. Over near Miss Talbot's room sat our carnival judge and his policemen who saw to it that perfect order was kept, by fining everyone who looked or acted even the least bit suspicious. On the main floor we discovered the famous Fortune Teller who foretold great futures for us. fYou should have heard mine.J In the next room we discovered the famous Hula Hula's who looked like real Hawaiians and certainly did their share to entertain. In room twenty-four we came to the Crazy House in which various types of insanity were well displayed. Yes, they even had a fish pond. I was as lucky as I usually am at such times! Then we climbed way up to the Biology Room to visit the Art Gallery where Boskoe, the two-headed lamb and many other freaks of nature were on exhibit. We even picked up enough courage to visit the Graveyard in the spooky attic. And we surely received some shock when they sent us sliding down to the main floor again by means of some slide-rigg-ings. Being on the main iloor again, we went in to see the Follies and the Wild West Show which were held in the main room. This performance proved to be one of the greatest of the night. Our famous Follies -appeared on the scene first. Thereupon some members of the Boys' chorus entertained with several musical numbers. Finally the Mask and Wiggers presented their Wild West Show, Wild Nell the Pet of the Plains which greatly amused' the audience. Agnes Herron, by the way, was Wild Nell. It was too early for the crowning of the king and queen so we wandered over to the Witter Building. Here we discovered that the lunch committee had been on the job all right. We were attracted to the Music Room and there discovered the Jitney Dance, crowded as usual. It was run on regular jitney order-a nickel or dime for every dance. Then it was almost ten-thirty so everyone rushed to the Main room to witness the crowning of the king and queen. You see we voted for the most popular boy 'and girl in school! Any person could cast as many ballots as he had pennies fthey sold at a penny a piece.J The excitement ran high and on the last day Herman Rehmann and Jean Nash were pronounced the winners. The five next highest boys and girls served as attendants. Punctually at ten-thirty the royal party and attendants, marching to strains of the orchestra, entered the room, from the Witter Building. It was a pretty sight-the queen was gowned in white trimmed with red hearts and a long fiowing train of red velvet, the king and the attendants likewise wearing red and white costumes. Several solo dances were given by Mildred Love and Doris McBain. Then the crowning of the king and queen took place. Thereupon the king knighted his followers and the grand affair was ended. Would you ever believe that Lincoln High could put over such a big carnival, and with such great success too! We're getting more pep every day. To say the least the. whole carnival was splendid. Everyone from the little four year old children up to grandmas had a good time. It's getting late so I must close and get some sleep. Hope I don't dream about that horrid Blue Beard. The shivers run down my back everytime I think of him now! Lovingly, Gertrude. I-'lRS'I' ROW Gibson. llrnm-zlll. lion-nius. t'oiiW:lY- li'll'l- Sf'l'ill4'l'. .Iol1nstun.

The Lettermcnis Club The Lettermen's Club at Lincoln High was organized in the fall of nine- teen hundred and twenty-two with six charter members: Fay Robinson, Phil Nobles, Bert Nason, Leonard LeRouX, Bill Schnabel, and Don Hougen. These were the men remaining in school who had obtained a letter in foot- ball the preceding year. Harm Voskuil was elected sponsor' of the organ- ization and has been elected unanimously both years to fill the position. Any- one who has won a W in any branch of athletics is eligible for member? ship. -T The purpose of the club is to help promote the right kind of spirit in high school and to bring the lettermen in school into closer touch with one another. Each year some social function is given by the organization and it is recognized as the leading social event of the school term. At a meeting early in October, the following officers were elected: Fritz Gee, Presidentg Earl LeRoux, Vice-president, Bun Brazeau, Secreta- ryg and Dave Kleberg, Treasurer. The total membership of the club at the present time numbers approximately thirty and it is expected that it will be a lasting organization at Lincoln High School. FIRST ROW 111. Searls. lin-11111-I.

Miss Iirgulford, Mathis, Wah-wvah-tay-see Campfire The Wah-wah-tay-see Campfire was organized in July of the year 1917, under the leadership of Miss Bradford. Seventeen girls were present at the first meeting and therefore are the charter members of the organization. These girls were: Virginia Whittlesey, Esther Iirdmamn, Ruth Kellner, Catharine Gee, Ruth Alpine, Helen Diety, Dorothy Hatton, Ruth Potter, Florence Mathews, Josephine Fitch, Carol Boorman, Janet Riley, Margaret Hanson, Ruth Iflrdmann, Kath- ryn Jesmer, Margaret Vaughn and Doris Kleberg. The girls repeated the oath of' the Camplire as follows: 'tl desire to became a campfire girl and obey the laws of the fire which are: To seek beauty, Hold on to health, Give service, Glorify work, and Pursue knowledge, Be happy. Be trustworthy, These laws of' the fire 1 will strive to followfl Nach of them then chose an lndian name and symbol. lt is a 1'ule of the organization to have four meetings per month, two of which are devoted to business, one ceremonial and one hike. The membership is liniited to twenty girls and five honorary members. The first camping trip was taken during the summer of 1917 and fifteen of the seventeen girls were present. A camping trip was taken each year up to the year of 1922. On June 21, 1919, Girls Day was held on the ground of the Couithouse and en- tertainment was provided by members of various Campfires in the city. In December, 11123, the Campfire entertained about forty little children, whose ages ranged from two years to fifteen years, at a Christmas party whe1'e gifts were distributed and games played. At present there are eighteen active members in the Campfire and two of the eighteen reached the rank of Torch Bearer which is the highest rank before becom- ing a guardian. l lltS'I' ROW Atwood. S.

ENTERTAINING MOTHERS November 17, 1923, the girls of the Home Economics 'Club entertained their mothers at a luncheon served by the Junior girls. In honor of the occasion the Sopho- more girls wore the woolen dresses they had just completed in the sewing class. STYLE SHOW A very pretty style show was given in the Assembly room of Lincoln High School December 20, 1923, by the Sqphomore girls of the Home Economics Department, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Hatch. There were twelve little children as models who were trained by Miss Belle Quinn I. of the Kindergarten Department. They displayed the little garments made by the Sophomore girls during the first semester while the High School orchestra played. Afterwards the children were given a party in the kitchen. The Vocational School girls, under the supervision of Miss Jensen, took charge of it and saw to it that the little tots had a fine time. CHRISTMAS BASKET . A bushel basket was trimmed with many pretty Christmas decorations and filled with eats brought by the H. E. girls. This basket was sent out the day before Christmas and surely was enjoyed by the family who received it. CHRISTMAS PARTY December 19th the girls had a Christmas party in the Witter Building. Miss Hatc.h's room was decorated in red and green. A Christmas tree was loaded with many pretty gifts for every one. Games were played and during the latter part of the afternoon a luncheon was served. They all left wishing each other a Merry Christ- mas and a Happy New Year. SLEIGH RIDE Jan. 21 a very enjoyable sleigh ride party was given. We went to Biron and upon our return to Akey's Restaurant where Miss Hatch and Miss Jensen treated us to chili. GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS ' Blessings on thee, little dame, Earrings long and dress the same, With thy many colored hose, And thy ghostly powdered nose, With thy make-up on thy face, And thy bobbed hair's jaunty graceg Russian boots when warm and dry, Satin slippers when snow does fiy. From my heart I give thee joy Glad that I was born a boy. With apologies to Whittier. A Home Ee. FIGHTING SCHOOL FLAPPER WITH NUTRITION Keep your vegetable vanity case on the dining table--not the dressing table. Rouge your face with carrots, taken internally. Let your mirror be a luscious vegetable soup. Use only one face cream, called cow's vanishing cream-best known for com- plex1on. Make your morning meal your oatmeal. Water, a delicate subjectg drink four glasses a day and apply externally often- a shower or a tub a day. For a clear skin, apply fruit juice down the inside of your neck. Suitable gifts from young men: a basket of fruit, not candy. Don't take choco- lates to the theater, but a barrel of apples. Eat onions to keep the doctor away-and everybody else. For starlight in your eyes, boiled onions or spinach. They contain phosphorus which concentrates in the beacon-like beam, one from each eye. Drill yourself to clean your teeth regularly, if not, the dentist will drill them for you. Vegetables, fruits, air and milk are prime health givers. Might as well turn on the gas and never get up, as sleep in a closed and ill-ventilated bed room. Girls must sleep in a bed at night, not on their feet next day.

The faculty and art advisors suggested that some uniform plan, such as Indian, Egyptian, Grecian, Roman, Colonial, or any other definite idea, be carried out in the annual. Immediately we de- cided that this year, and only this year, would it be suitable to carry out the Egyptian or King Tut design, since his tomb had just recently been excavated. What could have possibly been more appropriate and more popular than old King Tut? Almost everything we looked at revealed the King Tut idea. There were King Tut neckties, silks, designs, shoes fnot to forget Queen Tut herej, hats, suits, station- ery, cards, newspapers, jewelry fbracelets, rings as well as ear ringsj, bandeaux, and music. It was King Tut here and King Tut there, and King Tut almost everywhere. Hence our decision. But alas! By the middle of the year we discovered, to our keen disappointment, that the Egyptian and King Tutian vogue was superseded by that of the Chinese lucky rings and Mah J ongg became the rage. It was, however, too late to change our art scheme, and perhaps it is best that we did not make the change, for we too surely owed some tribute to that noted king, whose influence played such a large part in the fashions of the day. This tribute having been duly given him in our Ahdawagam, the staff mem- bers join in saying, May old King Tut rest in peace! Commercial Department The Commercial Department of Lincoln High has been rapidly growing in popular- ity and interest among the student body. At present 210 students or one third of the entire high school enrollment take commercial work. Of the present graduating class one-fifth who expect to finish in May are Commercial graduates. The efficiency of in- struction and of the graduates is evidenced by the fact that practically all graduates find positions in local offices. The department has won honors at school contests held the past year. At the Stevens Point district contest held April 28, 1923 the following won honors: James Case placed first in shorthand. Ethel Klevene placed third in shorthand. James Case placed third in typing. Evelyn Slattery placed third in penmanship. Lawrence Wesley placed first in rapid calculation. At the state contest held May 12 at Whitewater, James Case won fifth place in shorthand. Wilma Bell at present is the individual record-holder of the department because she is the only one awarded a gold pin by the L. C. Smith Typewriter Company for having a speed of at least sixty words a minute. She also owns a card case given by the Rem- ington Company for having a net speed of forty words, with not more than five errors, and Underwood bronze medal with a forty word bronze bar for the same speed. Eight students have been awarded the silver pin for typing at a rate of at least fifty words a minute for fifteen minutes. They are Gertrude Nieman, Blanche Weeks, Clayre Thurber, Erma Gaulka, Antoinette Le Blond, Mary Wagner, Wilma Bell, and Frank Waterstreet. The L. C. Smith Company offers a bronze pin to students writing at a net rate of forty words and less than fifty words a minute for fifteen minutes.

Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining Characters: Mr. John Williamsg Mrs. John Williamsg Ralph Walton- Mrs. Williams' song Mr. Montgomery-The gentleman. Scene: At the Williams home in a suburb of New York at about six o'clock one winter evening. A large room which serves as a living room as well as a kitchen. Although scantily furnished, it is immaculately clean. It contains several chairs, a rocker, a badly battered couch, a small kitchen stove, a table, and a small cupboard. Mrs. Williams is a delicate frail woman. There is a mark of refine- ment, culture and distinction in speech in her manner which plainly show she does not belong in such poor surroundings, and that she has not always lived in such. She has a worried, worn look on her face which indicates she has suffered much. Mr. Williams, although coming from a good family, seems now to be pervert. He has a selfish and discontended expression on his face. Ralph is a youth of about fourteen years. He is the likeness of his mother in appearance as well as character. Mrs. William is preparing a meager supper when Mr. Williams enters. He throws his cap and mackinaw down on a chair and steps to the stove to warm his hands. Mr. W. Cglancing from stove to tablel Ain't you got something decent to eat? Mrs. W. I'm sorry it's not more, but it's the best I could do. I spent the last cent I had to buy this bacon. Mr. W. Spent the last cent! What on earth did you do with all the money ? Mrs. W. fpatientlyj Remember you haven't brought an entire check home for a long time. I don't see where it all goes tog I see very little of it. Mr. W. Cflaring upl Where it all goes to, huh! Well I guess I'll tell you mighty quick. You talk as though I'm spending it foolish. How in the dickens do you expect it all to last when the rent and bills have to be paid every month. And then that there big son of yours sits around here taking life easy and expects me to feed him. That's where a lot of it goes to. Mrs. W. I didn't mean to accuse you of spending it foolishly. I merely inquired. Mr. W. ,this anger growingl I tell you I'm tired of seeing that big boy of yours sitting around here. I'll not stand for it. Mrs. .Cbecoming excited! I can't understand why you continually scold about that poor boy of mine. He's trying hard to find work, and he's so young yet. Do be patient. Mr. W. Patient nothing. I've been too patient already. I'm sick of that blame excuse of yours: He'll find work soon. You say that every day. lt's got to stop and mighty quick too. D'ya hear fcoming closer to herl, I won't be feeding him any longer. If he doesn't get work by tomorrow, out he'll go and stay for good. Do you understand? Mrs. W. QPleadingJ Do be merciful for a while. He'll have some soon. Mr. W. fdisgustedl Soon nothing. I've had my say and it's gotta be carried out too. Just you see if it won't. fSits down to supper table in silgince and glances around at table. Mrs. Williams is busy pouring out the co eel. Mr. W. Such stuff to eat. Not nourishing enough for a baby to live on, I 1 how can you expect a hardworking man to live on it. Spoils my appetite to look at it. Mrs. W. You don't wish any more than I do that there was something more. fBreaks down weeping!. Mr. W. fSlamming his knife and fork down on his plate! There you go, starting a big scene again. I can't stand it. lGrabs his coat and hat and leaves house in a fit of temper slamming the door as he leaves. Mrs. W. puts her head down on the table and weeps!. Enter Ralph from rear door Cdressed in a thin coat and a small cap! He stops in doorway. Ralph: Mother what is it fHe cries in alarm as he advances toward her and stoops at her side! Has he been making you unhappy again. Mrs. W. ,flooking up! Yes, my dear, he says you must have work by to- morrow or get out for good. fGrabs his hands! Oh, my dear boy, what'll I do without you? Ralph: Never mind mother dear. I stopped school to-day and I'm go- ing to try and get a steady job. Maybe I can even work at night. Then just see you won't have to live like this any longer. Mrs. W. Ralph, my boy, you stopped school? Ralph: Yes mother. The teacher said she was sorry, I was making such good headway. She said my English was the best she'd heard in that ward school for a long time. That pleased me. I told her my mother taught :ine that. Then she said I must have a fine mother and I told her I surely id have. Mrs. W. I've tried to make you as happy as possible and now it comes to this. Oh Ralph Cshe sobs again! Ralph: Now mother stop crying. 1'm going out right now to look for work. Maybe I'll have more luck tonight. Mrs. W. I hope so, my boy. Try hard, won't you? What will you do if you must leave here in this awful weather? Ralph: Never mind about that yet. I've time 'till tomorrow at this time. Now don't worry about me, will you mother? Mrs. W. I'll try not to. Good luck to you Ralph fsmiles faintly! Ralph: ftriumphant! There, that looks better. Goodbye mother. Don't worry if I'm not home real early fleaves the house and waves to mother.! Mrs. W. Oh it's too hard to bear. ,CPuts head down on the table and weeps bitterly! Oh, that terrible accident that caused the death of my first husband. Then this marriage. But we were happy then in our comfortable home and then Ralph did not seem to be an outcast. John was so thought- ful, considerate, and such a good, kind husband. Then that year of sick- ness, which caused such a change in him. I scarcely know him now he is so selfish, so irritable, so inconsiderate and even cruel, his attitude toward my poor Ralph has changed, and he is scarcely home one evening a week. We've lost our nice home, our furniture and almost everything and now we must live in abject poverty. Even my Ralph must leave me now. Oh what shall I do? fwrings her hands.! Oh why did I ever leave my happy home in the first place? If I had only known. I can't stand this any longer, its too hard to bear. Scene 2 In the Williams home again. Supper has been cleaned away. Mrs. Williams with a tiny scarf around her shoulders is seated, near the stove and is reading a paper. Mrs. W. fLooking up at the alarm clock standing on a shelf near the stove! CAstonishedJ Almost twelve o'clock. Wonder where John is? Why hasn't Ralph come home. That poor boy was dressed so thinly for this ex- tremely cold weather. CShe rises to put a piece of wood on the firel. A knock is heard at the door. She rushes to answer it. Enter Ralph and a well dressed young gentleman supporting a limp figure as best they canj. Mrs. W. Oh heavens! what has happened. ,fShe gasps as she jumps back with fearj. fThe two men help the figure to the counchl. Mrs. W. What is it? Oh John! What is the matter with him? Oh gra- cious, what should we do ? ,fShe cries as she flitters about with excitementj Ralph: fGoing up to herj Calm yourself mother. He'll be all right in a short time. Then we'll explain it all. fSteps to couch again.J Mr. M. Yes, just calm yourself Mrs. Williams. Wash that blood from his face first, then we'll explain it all. Mrs. W. hastens and dresses wound. Mr. M. watches her closely. Ralph: fsoftlyj How do you feel now, father? Are you feeling a little better. I'm so sorry it happened, but I didn't know. Mr. W. lholding out his hand to Ralphj It's all right son, it wasn't your fault. I don't deserve to be living. fMrs. W. looks from one to the other and seems greatly puzzled.J Mrs. W: What is it about? How in the world did it come about? What are you talking about John? 1Looking at Mr. MJ Is he unconscious? Mr. W. ffeeblyb Tell her Ralph, oh tell her. If! I could only die. How will I ever be able to face her? CMoansJ It's too awful. Mr. M. ,fsitting down near couchl Come on Ralph, tell her all about it now, relieve her from suspense. You see he's all right now fnodding to- ward couch.J Mrs. is seated on edge of couch stroking Mr.'s head. Ralph seated close by. Ralph: Oh why did it have to happen ? I was the one who injured him mother. You see it happened this way. You know I left here to look for work. Well, I wandered around for a couple of hours but couldn't find any- thing to do. Finally I got a jobg it was to help sweep and clean a lot of coaches sidetracked near the depot. The man said if I worked hard, he could maybe hire me for good. We worked till nearly eleven thirty. Then I started for home with my first earned dollar in my pocket Qpulls it out of his pocket and hands it to his mother. I just got into that dark district near the viaduct when I saw a man attack this gentlemen ipoints to Mr. MJ I ran up and saw he was trying to get the other man's pocket-book. If he would have resisted he would have been killed because the one hand of the attacker was almost choking him as it was. I tried to separate them, but I wasn't strong enough so I dealt the man a blow on the head. I helped the other man to his feet and gave him his purse. Then we both turned to look after the other man and I saw it was father. fPausesJ I didn't know what to dog I nearly fell over I was so shocked, ashamed, and so confused. I couldn't understand it. Mrs. W. ,ffrightenedj Father! What do you mean? Not John, surely not John. fLooking at him.J You attacking a man for money. Mr. W. Cturning and twitching on cotl Yes, Margaret, it was me who attacked the man. It's awful wicked I know. Could you ever forgive me? But let me explain. Mr. M. Yes, let him tell his part of the story. Mr. W.: CMuch abashedl You know after I had been sick for a year, we had a large debt. When I got back to work a gang coaxed me to gam- ble. They said I'd soon make up what I lost. I refused time and time again, but they kept on begging me until I thought it wouldn't hurt to try. Well, one night I went to Smily Bill's place CAsideJ Hope I never see nor hear about that cursed place again. That night I beat the whole bunch and done so well that I kept it up. But then my luck turned. I lost, lost, lost. Yet I kept on playing, I always hoped to get back what I lost the last night. But they were professionals, I got in so deep, we had to sell our home, then our furniture until we finally got to this here shack and scarcely had enough to eat or keep us warm. That's where our money went, that's why we're so poor. Then when you complained I got angry. I had to find fault some- where so I picked on that poor Ralph. He didn't deserve itg he always was a good boy. I got mad when you asked where my check all went to, I thought you probably caught on, so I threatened to send Ralph away. I was heartless. Mrs. W.: Oh John, how could you, how could you ? Mr. W. ,fshamefullyj Margaret, I don't know how I could. Well, when I left here tonight, I thought I'd try just once more. I did, but I lost heavi- er than ever. Then I became desperate. My conscience began to bother me frightfully. The more I thought of how patient you were, how you trusted me, and how untruthful and crooked I was, the greater my crimes seemed. I remembered there was no bread in the house and not enough wood to last for to-morrow, you and Ralph didn't have enough warm cloth- ing, and I just couldn't bear to come home and face you without some money. All this made me so very desperate that I could have done most anything. Then came my chance. I saw that man ipoints to Mr. MJ and thought he must be wealthy. I tried to justify my actions by thinking it wasn't fair for him to have so much and we so little that we were starving. I couldn't check my evil passion so I laid hold of him. I had his pocket book and nearly choked him when Ralph came running up and struck me on the head. That was the last I knew till I came to on the couch here. CHis voice trembles and his body quiversl Oh! why did I do it? Margaret, what will you do to me? Mrs. W. flooking horrifiedl John! first you gamble and then you al- most murder a man to rob him. It is too terrible. Oh why must we come to this? fsobsj Mr. M. ,fstepping to the couchj Come now Mrs. Williams, can't you see your husband has already suffered enough, don't act that way. Mr. Wil- liams wants to turn over a new leaf, he wants to be your former faithful husband, don't you? fLooks at Mr. WJ Mr. W. fimploringlyl Margaret, can you forgive me? I know I don't deserve it, but you shall never be disappointed in me again. Ralph will you forgive me? Mr. M. I think L'm intruding. I'd better be going because I'm no longer needed here, I know you will all be happy now. And now my boy fgrasping Ralph's handsj how can you be repaid? I'm sure your father and I are both indebted to you. How can I best repay you Ralph-Ralph-ah-oh was it Wil- liams. Ralph: No Sir, my name is Ralph Worth. Mr. M.: Ceagerlyl Worth, you aren't ?-Oh well you can't be. You see my wife's only sister married a Worth many years ago and- Mrs. W. Cinterruptingj Your wife's sister? fShe asks anxiouslyj . Mr. M. flooking at Mrs. W. questioninglyj Yes she married a J. M. Worth I guess it was, you see it happened long before we were married. She cared for him very much, but her parents objected because they consider- ed him very inferior in the social rank. She couldn't see it that way, and one day she left home. It was an awful blow to the family they never heard from her since. But then there are many Worths in the world and this is in New York. My wife's home was in Texas. Mr. M. Qastonishedj Yes it was Margaret. Mrs. W. fjubilantl Then your wife is my sister Clara? Oh how won- derful. I've always hoped and prayed I might see her sometime again, and to think she is in this very city? And my parents how are they? You see father warned me never to write so I know nothing about them at all. Mr. M. They are still alive and are visiting use at present. Won't they be glad. I know they have forgiven you long ago. Mrs. W. Cweeps for joy and cries outb Oh John isn't it just too great? At last my prayer is answered. But can't I see them. I can't stand to wait a minute longer? ,frushes back and forth in room in excitementl. Mr. M. You bet you can and right away. My car is outside, we will go at once. Ralph, you'll stay with your father, won't you? fMrs. hastily puts on a coat and a scarfl. Mr. W. fsitting upl Aw! I'm all right now, can't I go too? Mr. M. Sure we'll all go, but let's hurry we want to get there before they are in bed. ,CAll hasten toward doorj. Curtain BY Gertrude Thurow. An If For Our Girls If you can dress to make yourself attractive, Yet not make puffs and curls your chief delight, If you can swim and row, be strong and active, But of the gentler graces lose not sight, If you can dance without a craze for dancing, Play without giving play too strong a hold, Enjoy the love of friends without romancing, Care for the weak, the friendless, and the oldg If you can master Greek and French and Latin, And not acquire as well, a priggish mieng If you can feel the touch of silk and satin, Without despising calico and jeang If you can ply a saw and hammer, Can do a man's work when the need occurs, -Can sing when asked, without excuse or stammer, Can rise above unfriendly snubs and slursg If sometime you should meet and love another, And make a home with faith and peace enshrined, And you its soul-a loyal wife and mother- You'll work out pretty nearly to my mind, The plan that's been developed through the ages, And win the best that life can have in store, You'll be my girl, a model for the sages, A woman whom the world will bow before!

G0d's Countryw To the Westerner, whether he lives in city or mountain glen, his country is God's Country. The name fits. Nowhere in our land do we find so varied and beautiful examples of God's handiwork in nature, and nowhere is the beauty of nature so little defaced by the work of man, as in the west. Even the city skyscraper cannot entirely shut out the golden sunlight, the soft breezes and the distant view of rugged, snow- capped peaks. In a, corner of God's Country, a little notch in the brown hills overlooking one of nature's most beautiful gardens, a little hut is hidden so well among the rocks and sage brush and so fully does its weathered coloring blend with the surroundings, that it is hardly detectable to the people of the valley garden. There it has stood for many years an old weather stained shack, built of odd pieces of rough, uneven boards, the cracks filled with rags and torn sacks to keep out drifting sand or driving rains. Higher up the little canyon, a tiny spring Hows from the base of a rock slide and find its way along the canyon floor, its course marked by a green ribbon of grasses and mountain owers. Along a winding path from the spring an old man carefully picks his way among the scattered rocks and clumps of dwarf cactus. He was an old, old man with long grey hair and beard and there was about him an air of refinement, a look of mystery in the deep set, grey eyes as they looked out beneath shaggy brows. He wore an old- fashioned cloak of black, which he was never seen without summer or winter, that clung to his thin form in great folds. There was some mystery about him, a mystery that no one in the long years that he had lived there, could unravel. He would often stand in his shack door and gaze with hungry eyes upon the beautiful valley before him. The even rows of fruit trees were just bursting into spring time's beautiful green. The mysterious, tiny, pink buds appeared -and flung their sweet perfumes to the soft breezes of spring. The numerous fields of alfalfa dotting the landscape appeared like soft velvet carpets with the delicate purple fiower of the alfalfa as their only decoration. All this he would see, and more, but he always sighs and turns again into his dis- mal hut where he would spend the remainder of the day in his favorite pastime. Each spring the old man of the hills would spend a day in the little valley village, tho' he did not mingle with men more than was necessary in the purchase of his meager supp ies. One summer day a young lad, a stranger to those parts, was wandering about the hills when he came upon the little hut. There he found the old man dying, and he told the boy that he could have his only treasure, an old horse hair trunk and all within it. His last words were, Tell those in the valley that I was closer to God up ere? In the old trunk the lad found a great many manuscripts, beautiful stories that only such a person in close harmony with nature could write, full of the description of the garden below him, of the dark purple mountains and hills that had been the beauti- ful picture before his eyes for so many years. And then for years, with each returning spring, the sun cast a shadow upon the hills above the little old shack. The shadow is that of an old man with arms out- stretched towards the shack and with head bent a little forward as if in sorrow for something that he could never reach. The little shack no longer stands. It has disappeared and the little spring has ceased to fiow. But the shadow is still there and nature's tribute to one who spent his life in giving mankind a fuller knowledge of the beauties of God's Country. By Phyllis Walter.

The Last Rose The scene takes place in the yard oHice of a lake port in northern Wisconsin, when the boys were being ordered to register for the Great War. The characters are Mr. Grouch, Sam Tell, Rose Billings, and an agent. The foreman, Mr. Grouch, is sitting at a rude desk in the yard office, checking his men while waiting for Sam who is, as usual, a little late. It is now ten minutes past nine. The door opens and Sam comes stumbling in: Mornin' Mr. Grouch! Mr. Grouch flooking at the clocklz It's pretty near noon, and you have held .up the whole crew. I ought to report you, but you only have a few more weeks of civilian life, and then you'll be under the orders of your national uncle. Perhaps then you'll wish you had a mother-in-law instead. Sam: I pretty near had two of 'eml Not both at once though. Mr. Grouch: Huh! If you are as slow at bargaining for one as you are at getting on the job in the morning, you'll be so old you'll have to wear specks to see what you are getting. Sam: Yah! May be! I hope not though. You know some one dependent upon me would come in kinda' handy right now. That means that I wouldn't have to go to that awful war in Europe. Mr. G. fbecoming interested turns his chair toward Sami: Say, you've got that figured out pretty fine. If that works, and I have my doubts, I'll count you pretty lucky. Yes, sir, fisherman's luck is what you've been fishin' for isn't it? Sam: Ya.h! Guess so. You mean fishin' to get married don't you? Mr. G: Sure. Speaking in real terms. Sam fchanging the subjectiz Say, Mr. Grouch, who has the superintending of that new dock? Mr. G.: Don't know, the Company hasn't engaged any one yet. Why? Sam: Guess I'll apply. How about it? Mr. G.: You've had no experience, and there is great responsibility. Sam: May be a little bluff will get me started. Mr. G.: Sam, you're too young to have had enough experience. Bluiiin' don't get you that far lsnapping his fingerj in the business world today. It's the real knowing that stands the test. Better not apply Sam. I'd rather see you keep the job you have than fall in something bigger. A failure means a great deal when you aren't fixed well enough to get on your own feet again. But of course, it's your funeral not mine. Sam QDeeply thinkingjz I wonder if it's as hard to superintend a. home as it is to take care of a job like this. Mr. G. flaughingjz I'll leave that for you to experience. It doesn't do much good to warn you against that now. Sam: No, that's what Pa said. Mr. G.: You stay here for a time. I have to make the rounds through the yard and see how things are coming. Its about time for the boat to be back. If anybody calls tell them to call later, unless you can handle the aii'air. f Exit Mr. GJ Sam: Hope a general don't walk in. 1Enter stranger.J Stranger: How do you do. Sam: Howda do, Sir. Stranger: I am the General a-a-a-a Agent fSam is frightenedj 'for the Stock- holders Insurance Co. Is the manager here? Sam: No. He just went out. Stranger: Well when he comes back tell him I was here and ask him to call at the Stockholders Exchange. Sam: Yah! I will. Stranger: Good day Cexit strangerj. fSam says it over to himself trying to keep it straight, but gets it all mixed up.J 1Enter Mr. Grouchl How did things go Sam: All at once. There was only one. Mr. G.: Who's that Sam: An agent.He said you should hold your stock until things are changed. Mr. G.: I'll have to find out about that, but before I go I have to ask you a question. Who do you suppose I saw ? Sam: The whole crew I s'pose. Mr. G.: No. A person I never expected to see around here. Rose Billings! I Sam gets startled and falls into a chairj and she is going to work in the Main Oiiice. It seems as though they can't get along without a Rose. That's the third one already. The other two have joined the Red Cross Service. Sam: And I'll bet it is the last one. She w0n't join. Mr. G.: Why? Sam: Listen! I am going to tell you a secret. Do you remember the first girl who worked here Rose Freeman? Mr. G.: Yes. Sam: Well I used to visit her quite often in the oilice. She was a fine girl. She said she hated to see me go to war, knowing that if I were a married man I could stay home. Never before did the breeze blow so strong in my favor. But just as I was about to bargain for her, a cussed little bell boy came tearing in with a telegram from her Uncle, a general, offering her a good position in the Red Cross department. She sent one back saying she'd take it. Then there wasn't any use for me to say anything any more. Then Rose Huber took the job, but I thought the war would be over before I got acquainted with her. I guess she was a friend of Rose Freeman because she went to the same place after she worked about a week. Mr. G.: You certainly have had a streak of contrary luck. fDoor opens and Rose B. comes in.j Rose B.: Hello Sam. Sam fAs if thunderstruck steps backjz Rose, is it you ? Rose: Yes, Sam. Sam: I haven't seen you since we were in the third grade in the country school. How -are you any way? Rose: Oh, just fine! How are you? Sam: Good! Mr. G. finterruptingbz Sam when did that agent say I should call? Sam: A-a-a right away. Mr. G.: If y0u'll excuse me I must leave. Good luck Sam! fLaughsJ lexit Mr. GJ Rose: You are pretty lucky you haven't been called to the army yet. Quite a bunch have left already. Sam you seem worried.

On the street called Slow lives old man Wait, And his two little boys named Linger and Late, With unclean hands and tousled hair, And a naughty sister named Don't Care. Did you ever go to Put-Off Town To play with the little girls, Fret and Frown? Or go to the home of old man Wait And whistle for his boys to come to the gate. To play ball all day on Tarry street, Leaving your errands for other feet? To stop, or shirk, or linger, or frown, Is the nearest way to this Put-Off Town. Just Once The shades that night were falling fast, As through an American city past An immigrant, wet with snow and ice, Being led astray through wrong advice. Exhausted ! His brow was sad, his eye beneath Flashed like the steel rails at his feet, He heard like parrots' chatter dumb The accents of that unknown tongue, Americans I Beside a boat he saw a fight Between old salts. It was a sight! Above, the dirty smoke was blown, Upon his suit it clearly shown, Cinders ! Try not to pass, came the command! And silently he blessed his land. He dodged the trucks, both long and wide While loud the taxi driver cried, Come ride ! Oh stay, the newsboy said, and rest, And see which land you think is best ! Just then he closed one bright blue eye, And like a maiden gave a sigh, Wonderful ! Beware the streetcar's awful clank! He thought while leaning on the bank. This was no place for him that night, And then he turned and hid from sight. To seek repose! He, by a good and faithful hound, Half buried under a car was found, Still grasping in his hand of ice, The door strap of that strange device, The taxi! There in wreckage cold and gray, Lifeless, but beautiful he lay. This happened to an Irish lad. Who took a trip without his dad. Just Once! Donald Freitag Stretch Yer 'Magination A tramp of the backwoods tells this story. One day me pardner an' meself waz trampin' around De forest tryin' to find a good place to make a fire on, when all at once he Qme pardnerj Neales down on De soft Brown oith an' ses to me, he sez, S'prise! An' I sez, ftryin' to be Sternz can bei What now 'Z An' he sez, Foltz alarm. I tho't shure I seed a bag o' Pearls here in dis hole but I guess it wuz somethin' Ellis. Wid dese woids he hecved a sigh but what he jus' sed give me a idee so I speaks up an' sez How big' is dat hole? An' he sez, About two foot. Humm, sez I, Why can't we make our fire here? v So we starts lookin' round fer some kindlin' wood. Pretty soon we found some pine cones an' after startin' de fire, we hauled out from under our hats fwhat dere wuz of dem! some bread made of Ry-an' some of wheat. Charles sez I to me pardner fya see we wuz Al-ice nice and cordgul to each other.J I wish I had some Lynn fleanj meat to go wid dis bread. Hardly wuz de woids out of me mouth when along comes DeBruin fwhose meat might be Lynn for all of mel but it looked Mad-fderj den Hel-en so we run to Ritch-ay big Cotton-wood tree when Charles remembers that De Bruin's got good climbin' capacity too so he sez, Dere ain't no Harm-on-runnin' de rest of de way out of De Forest to de Mill stream. So on we run til' we gets out of De Forest an' den we stops fer two reasons. One wuz, cuz dere stood some Mills before us an' we couldn't run thru dem, an' second, cuz we wuz out of Wind-en' couldn't run wid out it. While we wuz standin' dere, out comes a. miller fnamed Johnl from de mill, an' my but he wuz Jul-ius the dickens, laughin' all de time. He was Tal-bot not very good-lookin' cuz when he laughed he looked like a Jesse-cat. Can you Madge-in that? Jus' then Myrtle, his wife Come out of the Kitchen an' talks to us like we wuz Neighbors Sez she, she sez, Boys ef you'se wants to eat dinner wid us ya gotta do somethin' gon' D'ya see that Heffr-on de hill? Wall, jus' tear up there an' get it down here. ee . So up we goes an' thinks it's a soft job. flt was fer Charles, as you'll see.J It wasn't so easy tryin' to ketch the crazy thing cuz it had its horns right ready. Finally, Charles ketched it an' sits on its back. Thinkin' he wuz in a mighty, awful, dangerous position, I hollers to him, Schiff-man, shift to de ground. Me woid wuz obeyed to do last grain of sand, for when he heard me say that, he looked at me an' the Heffr-on de hill give him a nice little boost off his back, leavin' him flat. Dirty trick, I calls it. De boost had a bad effect on him I guess, cuz he tried to tell me that he wuz layin' on Cotton-ide ground must 0' been pretty soft compared wid de heifer's back! an' when he started callin' Kitty, kitty, come kitty, I knew he wuz knocked 'fer -a row of Hazel- nuts. His mind wuz about as clear as a store Ever-sz before a 'Clarence Sale. After givin' him fair chance to rest a. bit I sez to him, Up-son, Time fer lunch. I knew this wuz de Bess' way to bring him to, but he only opened his eyes an' blinked 'em. First thing ya know tho', I spied something aways off comin' along de road. When it got closer I seed it wuz John's-son an' he had Brad-a-ford wid him. Thinks I, I betcha he's goin' to see his goil cuz he's carryin' a bunch of Maybells in his hand. He come up near us an' stopped. I jus' goes and looks to see in de back seat of de Ford, and dere wuz some little young chickens just Hatchfedl peepin' around. Just then John's-son sez Git in, de bode of ya an' I'll take ya over to de mill fer dinner. So we first helps Charles in an' den meself an' flees over to de mill. On de way John's-son sez, Me ma's tight on de eats, Cram-er full of Aar-on that'll make her laugh an' den you'll get more eats. Well, when we got dere an' got out of de Ford, Myrtle wuz dere to ask us where de heifer wuz, but Her-man, John, starts right in talkin' somethin' Ellis to get her off de subject which he does. An' she opens de ol' mill door an' hollers Jen-sen de table an Chairs an' eats out here for today. We've got company. Jen-sen-t out de tables, chairs an' eats de latter being composed of bread. Ob-ri-en' tea, an' mill-made butter an odder stuff all tree of which wuz very good-for anyone but us who never gits nuthin Ellis. Anyway Charles an' me left de mill soon after lunch an' decided of all de places in de woild, we wouldn't pick out anudder like that one. .,Eve,, ,24 lellux u4S:if ' 1 1 X S XS 9 Q X c wlhtf 'A ,gsm X Q gfflyl, will EGYPTiaN , -A I 1 Ml ml, 4'5 .s ' ,v lf jgartttyiiyr B O b ri Z' ,441 ll ! mari' l ' K 1 Bu st e rv. u.

The Royal Seal In a valley of the Alps mountains of Switzerland was situated a little town called Altdorf. It was very old, having existed before the time of William Tell. The popu- lation at that time had been only two thousand, and it had not grown much more since then. The streets of Altdorf, though rather narrow, were very clean, and the little, white cottages of those who lived there added to the beauty of the place. The great mountains encircled the little village and looked down upon a small stream quiet- ly flowing into one of the Swiss lakes. This particular lake was called Vierwaldstatter See in-the Swiss langu-age, meanlng a lake surrounded by four forest cantons in the mountains. The peasants who lived in the village of Altdorf made their living by fish- ing and lumbering mainly, and each family kept goats. In this same village a young girl, Barbara, lived with her father whom everyone called by his first name, Jost. Jost kept a little store where he made and sold accordions. On every shelf lay completed instruments. Some were large harmonicas and others were small hexagonal accordions. Glancing around the room, one might see the work- ing table of Jost in a light corner where he made his instruments. There, also lay the bone buttons to be used for the keys, the wood for the two ends and the hides for the fiexible parts of the accordions. Under the working table lay a large box containing an old Italian -accordion. It was not the product- of J ost's skilled hands but it had been sold to him temporarily by an old friend to whom it had been handed down from one of the first Italian accordion-makers. Insignificant as it seemed, this accordion had a strange mystery connected with it and Jost never allowed his daughter to even peek into the box which held it. Barbara had one pet, Pietro, her big St. Bernard dog of which everyone knew the value and which was her companion from morning 'till night. Every evening Barbara sat on the door-step and played her accordion. She w-as noted in the village for being an expert in the art and it was not uncommon for people on their homeward way to stop and listen to her music. The silhouette of a girl, a dog, and an accordion with the lights from the cottage casting their shadows on the ground before them made a beau- tiful picture against a greater background, the dark, enclosing mountains. Many a night Barbara had spent like this while her father was busy at work inside. On one particular evening long before Barbara stopped playing, .J ost left his .work to go over to the small post-office in the village. He had been appointed to distribute the mall to the smaller villages, at Burglen and Seedorf. It was necessary for him to get the mail at night because he had to start early in the morning in order to get the mail dis- tributed by dusk. Barbara had often been tempted to see what the old box under the working table contained and in vain had she asked the stern, but kind, old man to open it for her. This night, with its weird moonlight and dancing shadows, prompted her more than ever to find out the contents of that old box. So as soon as the old man started for the post-office, Barb-ara set aside her accordion and with an uncertain step walked into the cottage and over to the working-table. She pulled out the box after stealing to the window to make sure that no one was coming, and with deft fingers, opened it. Her large brown eyes slightly winced when she beheld the old accordion before her and she asked herself over and over why she had not been permitted to see it. Just then, as if her mind had been read, Jost appeared in the doorway watching her with a haggard look upon his face. Then he said, You have disobeyed my orders by taking advantage of my absence and since you have done so, it is necessary that you know the truth concerning this accordion. It was made by an old Italian at Vienna about 18335 and-about twenty-five years later was transferred into the hands of my Italian friend Giovanni Riggonettl. He came to some misfortune because of it several years ago and -asked me to keep it for an even 500 days when he would return for it. But he especially emphasized the fact that you were not, under any circumstances, to see it and far less handle it until a message came from him. He made provision though, that if it happened you did find out about it before time was up, I was to tell you the history of the instrument and then to write him about it, and wait for his reply for further orders. I am afraid you have committed a serious deed, my girl, and so the accordion has brought misfortune to me as it did to my friend. Barbara stood there bewildered and speechless. Jost walked slowly to the door hanging his head. Oh, what would be Riggonetti's answer! Next morning, Jost got up at the usual time, strapped on his shoulders the basket the Swiss use for carrying mail, kissed Barbara good-bye and went on his mail route with a heavy heart. It was chilly and dark for the sun had not yet risen. Jost pulled up his collar to keep out the cold March wind and as he passed out of the little sleep- ing village it seemed that all the world had closed its doors upon him. Soon Barbara would know the burning secret that he was trying to conceal in his starved heart. How could he keep her for himself to liven his last lonely years? Should he write his friend telling him of Barbar's action, thereby losing her, or wait until the 500 days were up and perhaps keep her? Do something, he must. By this time he was close to Burg- len where he would be relieved of part of his load. He had only a little more than two facullu, Tx X X idk warm p .- X X.-.Xi gkzawj 31:..i,,,,, , ,. ., .1 ..

Should he write his friend telling him of Barbar's action, thereby losing her, or wait until the 500 days were up and perhaps keep her? Do something, he must. By this time he was close to Burg- len where he would be relieved of part of his load. He had only a little more than two I wrote to Jost,, who had been my friend since childhood, and asked him to take you to his home for protection and care for you as if you were his own. He consented and brought you up as a Swiss peasant. About sixteen years passed when another misfortune befell me. A great band of marauders plundered my estate to get the mysterious accordion whose value they knew. They took with them all they could find that represented my position as a marquis. The leader then decided to imprison me so as to keep the estate for himself and his band. He knew, of course, that if he took away my Royal Seals, 'Coat of Arms and other simi- lar things, I would have nothing to show in order to be released. Therefore, I wrote a message. Placing on one of its corners, a Royal Seal, and hoping it would escape the eyes of the marauders, I put it in the secret opening of the accordion which I had hldden in a secret passage. Then I wrote another message to Jost telling him what to do if you found out about the instrument. A few days before I was sent down to Goldau, to be imprisoned, I had the note to Jost and the accordion smuggled to him. I made a plan also, at the time, that if by the end of five hundreds days, I had not found means of escape, it would be your place, as my daughter, to come to release me with the aid of the Royal Seal. Finally, I was taken to the old house in the ruins and being guarded so closely, I had no chance to leave the place until you came. The rest of my story you know. Barbara gazed at her newly found father in silence for a moment, then turned back with tear-dimmed eyes to the mound of earth. Her anguish at the loss of Jost was not diminished by the knowledge that he was not her real father. How could this strange man ever take his place? She could never bestow upon this stranger a love equivalent to that which she had given J ost-Jost who had so tenderly cared for her. That Riggon- etti would expect such a love from her she never doubted. The only words she could utter were sobbed brokenly out as she Hung herself upon the crude grave J ost! Jost! Why did you have to leave me? Oh, Why did you? I miss you so! An understanding of the child's love for her supposed father penetrated the con- fused thoughts of Riggonetti and with a heavy heart he slowly walked away. Was he again to lose all hope of happiness? As he stumbled blindly along the path he felt him- self old and forsaken. Happiness was never intended for him he thought, and inwardly cursed the old accordion. He hastened back to the little house, intent upon a new pur- pose. Hehwrenched the old accordion from its box and was about to dash it to fragments, when a little hand was shly laid upon his arm-and a trembling voice whispered Don't destroy it-father--remember, it brought us back to each other. Evelyn Bissig '24 Is It I? Where is the pupil who has not said At evening, when he went to bed, I'll waken with the crowing cock, And get to work by six o'clock ? Where is the pupil who, rather late, Crawls out of bed at half-past eight, That has not thought, with fond regard, It's better not to work too hard ? The Unusual Wedding Jessie Sanford I stepped off the train and looked around, the depot was deserted. I picked up my traveling bag and started up the street. After a little while I came to a little stone church set back among the trees almost hidden from the view of the passerby. I was tired from my journey and decided to rest for a while in the quiet of the church. As I slowly opened the door the organ began to play, Here comes the bride, and someone with a very shrill voice was trying to sing it. I realized then there was to be a wedding and sank down in the last seat to await results. I have been to many a wedding in my time and age, but never to one quite like this. The bride who, by the way, was extremely fat waddled up the aisle on the arm of her father. The bridegroom was the tallest man I have ever seen and they certainly made a queer looking couple. A hush fell over the empty church as the service began. Is there anyone present who knows any reason why these two should not be ngade one? Let him speak now or forever after hold his peace, droned the voice of t e minister. Q The church being empty except for myself, no one responded and the service went on. Do you Stanislaus Skeezexkowski take this woman as your wedded wife? I'll tell the world, was the ungrammatical response of the groom. Do you, Tillie Augusta Imaprunske, take this man as your awful husband? You bet I do, was the answer received. Will you love your husband even if he never shaves, if he does not come home to his meals, even if he does forget to mail your letters? That's the berries,'7 she responded. . g'Do you plgrrzise tqghlowzi your wife even if she burns all your food, takes the rolling pin o you,, or ir s wi o er men . You tell 'em, the groom answered. Now by golly, your hitched! exclaimed the minister. ' Just then the shrill voiced one began to sing again, the music seemed to be get- tmg louder and louder. I kept wishing it would stop as everything seemed to whirl. I gave a gasp of surprise for I had suddenly awoke to find myself in Economics Swellites Somebody said he'd done it well, And presto! His head began to swell, Bigger and bigger the poor thing grew- A wonder it didn't split in two. In size a balloon could scarcely match itg He needed a fishing-pole to scratch itg- But SLIX and a half was the size of his hat, And It rattled around on his head at that! Good work, somebody chanced to say, And his chest swelled big as a load of hay. About himself, like a rooster, he crowed, Of his wonderful work he bragged and blowed. He marched around with a peacock strut, Gigantic to him was the figure he cutg- But he wore a very small-sized suit, And loosely it hung on him, to boot! HE was the chap who made things hum! HE was the drumstick and the drum! HE was the shirt bosom and the starch! HE was the keystone of the arch! HE was the -axis of the earth! Nothing existed before his birth! But when he was ofl' from work a day, Nobody knew that he was away! This is a fact that is sad to tell: It's the empty head that is bound to swellg It's the light-weight fellow who soars to the skies, And bursts like a bubble before your eyes. A big man is humbled by honest praise, And tries to think of all the ways To improve his work and do it well- But a little man starts of himself to yell! Y , Lincoln and The Constitution The Union will Constitutionally defend and maintain itself, declared Lincoln in his first Inaugural address. Friends, it seems that we can scarcely think of Lincoln, without being reminded of the Union. Why? Because Union is what Lincoln stood for, Union is what he lived for, and Union is what he died for. And yet when we think of Lincoln and The Union, we cannot help but consider The Constitution and its great connection. Thus is made a threefold chain of meditation, a chain that cannot be broken, Lincoln, The Union and The Constitution. Let us see how Lincoln viewed The Union and The Constitution. The Union is older than the States, Lincoln once said, and in fact Union has created the States. Union has existed since the beginning of time. It becomes essential in accordance with the number of people and problems, to create, cherish, and contirm that strength and that love which is necessary to make a people co-ordinative. In the early history of our country the four colonies united for the purpose of defence. However, they drew up a constitution inasmuch as they pledged themselves faithfully to the cause for which they had united. When the number of Colonies in- creased an elaboration of the fundamental plan of Union, whereby the intercolonial re- lation of the Constitution could be renewed and strengthened, became necessary. Two decades later when the thirteen Colonies banded together in friendship, to secure their independence, a written Constitution was essential to make their Union stable, and for this purpose The Articles of 'Confederation were adopted. Then, as the people g'rew in number, In order to form a more perfect Union, The Constitution was ordained and established. The Union! What Union did Lincoln mean? The Union, of the people, for the people, and by the people, a power binding one individual to the other, one state to another, the South to the North. Let us further consider Lincoln's theory of The Union and The Constitution. On one occasion Lincoln' compared The Union to a house. No doubt, he there thought of the people as the building material, the states as the framework and The Constitution, as the very foundation, with each part performing its specific work in making the whole, complete. Another time Lincoln spoke of the Union and The Constitution as a family relation with the people as the children giving honor, respect, and service to the Constitution, their guide and protector. Where schools and churches abound on every side the Union will never be in danger, Lincoln once said. Is it not a fact that the school defends and maintains education? ' Is it not also an accepted truth that the Church is the means of defending' and maintaining the Gospel? And if it were not for the school would not education crumble? And if it were not for the church would not the Gospel suffer? Then, is lt not logical that the Union, the education of the Constitution, and the Gospel of pat- riotism in the Constitution, is in like manner, dependent upon the Constituion? Hence the llfe of one determines .the life of the. other. Then, if the Constitution is stron and sound enough to stand, will not the Union, built on the Constitution, stand equagy as we . Furthermore, Lincoln's theory says: The Constitution will stand and therefore the Union built on and dependent upon The Constitution will stand. And as no other, he has demonstrated this theory practical in proving the stability of the Constitution. Before Lincoln's time there was comparatively little doubt as to the firmness of the Constitution. Minor questions about constitutional rights often came up, however, but they bore no thought of invalidating the Constitution or in any way destroying it. Nevertheless, in 1860 the paramount question came, which developed into an open declaration defying the power of the Constitution, yes, even the Constitution itself! Shamefully, this rejection of the Constitution spread throughout our country, it re- soiijrided through the homes, it was proclaimed and debated, even argued before the pu ic. The storm of opposition had arisen during the night and had Hooded the whole coun- try. The heavens darkened, the winds blew, the billows rolled, there, was the ship in the midst of all, distressed and partially forsaken. Oh! Pilot! Awake! Speak the word of peace, That stills the angry waters, And makes the tempest cease! Then from a lower deck appeared a large homely man, destined to be the guardian of the ship. Cautiously he began with these words, I have an oath in Heaven to preserve this ship. All eagerly gazed at him as he continued with those comforting words, It is impossible to destroy it, but by some action not provided for in the ship itself. But it would be safer for all to conform to those acts which stand unrepealed than to violate any of them. The words were ignored! And wider still those billows of war Thundered along the horison's bar! The roar of that red sea uncontrolled Made the blood of the Listener cold. Stepping into the pilot house and placing his hands upon the helm, the pilot headed the ship against the storm. He addressed his disheartened countrymen again with these words, If it we do not make common cause to save the good old ship of union on this voyage, nobody will have a chance to pilot her on another. The storm grew, groanings of thunder were heardg but at last it was morning again. The storm was over, and the ship, firm as a rock, had stood the great opposition. The Constitution had stood the greatest test possible. Now no one could doubt the state- ment of Lincoln, The Union must constitutionally defend and maintain itself. Friends, let us be mindful that the rights and the happiness we enjoy under the constitution are due first to Him who created and preserved all things, then to the dear Father of Our Country and then to good old Abe, who with even his own life has saved and preserved the constitution forever. People, should the thought of patching and mending the Constitution come to us, let .us recall those words of Lincoln, It would be safer for all to conform to those acts which stand unrepealed than to violate any of them. It is a fault of indifference that we do not appreciate the constitution! There is no ground for neutrality, we must be either for or against the Union cause. No matter what our walk of life may be, let it be a continual service to our God and Our country! Let us further the cause of Union, that the whole world may be loosed from the unbearable chain of ignorance and anarchy and that all may enjoy the rights and obligations, the joy and the happiness that we as Americans enjoy today under the constitution! Then the constitution which Lincoln rescued will be the defense and maintenance of not only the United States but the United Nations. The above Oration was delivered by Herbert Johnson at Marshfield on April 11, 1924. The Love Shop I had seen the place before I had lingered by that doorg And again my throbbing heart does race As my steps I now retrace With a pang! Once again I found myself in Downing Street. It was much the same as when I had left it. Ah! But that was a long time ago. Would the object I sought still be there? The only change I could see was that a tall narrow building, with a somewhat dashy signboard bearing the inscription, Shipping Exchange. had been erected. It seemed to be ashamed of its size, for the only two windows in the front of the building, with their shades drawn down, gave it the appearance of chasing its eyes for shame. In truth it wasn't at all suited to its surroundings. Its extreme height was emphasized by its companion buildings which were quaint old English shops of one story. No won- der the poor thing felt out of place. I viewed my surroundings with a tugging at my heart. How I hated that building for being there! It seemed to change the whole aspect of this quaint corner of Landax. If this old musty place was changed, might not some of the things inside of these build- ings be changed also? Oh God! they couldn't beg and a fervent prayer rushed from my heart. Tears filled my eyes and rolled down my cheeks while a sweat of fear stood on my brow. I turned abruptly from the new building and directed my steps to the ihop across the way, and in that moment a thousand pangs of grief broke from my eart. Was this after all, the end of my quest? Would that for which I sought be there? I slowly raised my eyes. Thank God! The building at least was there and it hadn't changed a bit! It was just as I had left it,--a low, humble little building with two latticed windows, from which the shutters had been tightly drawn back. The low shingled roof was covered with rich green moss. Time had certainly played its part with that little place, as it was fast becoming like the sign above the door suggested, The Pawn Sz Second Hand Shop. I turned the knob and walked in. An ancient, musty, odor greeted meg but this was an atmosphere I loved for I had always enjoyed the dusty and musty odor of a library. . The second-hand man rose from his second-hand chair, laid aside his second-hand paper and stretched out a second-hand palm. Shaking my hand he said, You have come back haven't you? He took me rather surprized as I did not believe he would remember me but I smiled and nodded and soon began my excursion of the shop. Enclosed in an old glass counter were exquisitely carved wooden dishes. What wonderful material for an antique shop! In the center was a brlght sign with the inscription, H500 Vases, for S1.50. On top of this counter was an old wooden head with grass growing out of its eyes, nose, and mouth. This was advertised with, This Brings Good Luck. Petrified Head of Ancient Max, 53.25 Along the sides of the walls were open cupboards piled high with painted dishes, rare old books, and paintings which I do not doubt could be compared with the works of some of the great masters. In other cupboards were guns, old armour, pipes from various countries, more vases, and lamps whose shades were decorated with flashy colors, having huge roses of scarlet and cerise for their adornment. Old chairs had been repaired were marked relics of the court of Louis IV and I believe them to be. These were in various corners and places about the room. A stove was in the back of the room. This was second-hand also but it was not for sale because it was the only means of heating the tiny room and the only means of lighting came from the two front windows. In order to over- come the darkness of night a brass bowl had been hung from the middle of the ceiling and was replenished now and then with whale oil to keep the fiickering fiame alive. E class ips soft glow over the room and reminded one of the sanctuary of an ancient at e ra . The spell of the shop was upon me and had for the moment distracted me from my thoughts. My reverie was broken with the voice of the old man close to my ear. You have come for the picture? he asked. I started, How could he know for what I had come? I looked into his faded blue eyes and caught their meaning. It was admira- tion, mingled with love and a knowledge that that which I sought for could never be forgotten. My fears which had subsided for the past few moments again arose within me for I thought perhaps It had gone. But this kindly old gentleman settled my fears by telling me that he had known I would come back. He went to an old cup- goaid, opened a drawer, and took something from an old musty covering and handed it ac to me. I reached in my pocket for money but he slowly shook his old gray head and said: No, my son, a mother's portrait was never meant to be second-handed. I gripped his hand and with tears in my eyes thanked him heartily for keeping it for me. Then I turned and with a last look at the surroundings I stepped outside and left the old man to take his second-hand pipe and to dream his second-hand dreams in this dear second-hand atmosphe1'e. .As I passed the tall, ugly building, such was the joy in my heart that I nodded it a friendly goodbye, and, as if in reply, a shade of one eye was lifted and slowly lowered again. MILDRED LOVE. HMy Most Embarrassing Moment Contest The following experience was considered by the judges as the most embarassing in the contest. A free Ahdawagam was, therefore, awarded to the writer of the following: MY MOST EMBARASSIN G MOMENT One morning I got up very late and was afraid I would be late for school so consequently dressed rather hurriedly. I intended to wear my middy and skirt that day and after much confusion I started on my way. I had walked about half a block when I met a young man who eyed me curiously, and, seeing his queer look, I glanced at him after I had passed. I looked down. Oh! I had forgotten my skirt, and was going to school in my middy and bloomers. I ran home as fast as I could and I never felt so embarrassed in all my life! ! ! ! The Peril of The Plains Many years ago, on one of the foremost ranches of the wind-swept plains of Mon- tana, there lived a young and attractive girl of seventeen. Her name was Jene Ells- worth. She was the mistress of her father's ranch as her mother had died when she was but a child. The west, at this time, was not thickly inhabited so the number of Jene's girl friends was consequently limited. But in her faithful collie dog, Rover, and an a nimble, black pony, Prince, she had two of the very best friends one could ever esire. Every day, after her work had been finished, she would saddle Prince, and with Rover following, would start out for a ride over the ranch. She never dared venture too far for fear of being lost. In this way, she kept lonesomeness away, but each day while riding she turned over and over again in her troubled mind something which annoyed her and which hovered over the vast plains. All she could do was hope that it would soon be known! The country, in which she lived, known as Lonely Plain, was not left untouched by the Creator of all things. Even though the Montana plains stretched mile after mile, there was beauty in the barriers which broke the spell of monotony. To the right of the Ellsworth ranch, about a half mile away, a small chain of mountains could be seen. At the foot of the highest peak, Mt. Juneau, a small mountain stream began its journey, babbling on through the small valley until it reached the Missouri River. On the mountain sides there were thickets entangled with briars and vines from which each night at sundown came the echo of the mocking bird, calling his mate. Although this country seemed peaceful and quiet, it was annoyed by something un- known as yet, which endangered the lives of its pioneers and inhabitants. All that was known of the mystery was that every night a ruthless band of people, mounted on horses and dressed in black, rode through the surrounding country how ing like wolves. The leader was a tall man, mounted on a white horse, who stood on a high ledge, called Lookout Mount, every night after the thick, black shadows had fallen over Lonely Plain. As he howled, the sound echoed with the breeze, far and near over the. sur- rounding country. When the terrible cries of horror reached their ears, the inhabitants shrank into their homes and with trembling voices repeated the phrase so often uttered, Beware of the wolves, they are out on their prowl. This mysterious band of people always prowled around the Ellsworth ranch, perhaps because Mr. Ellsworth, the owner of thousands of head of cattle, was very wealthy. Many cattle had been rustled from neighboring ranches and houses burned, but the Ellsworth ranch remained untouched. This disturbance had been going on for years but no action had been taken against it. The people were afraid to attack the intruders because they were outnumbered. In the beginning the band consisted of but a few members, but each night the number in- creased. These outlaws were never seen during the day, and although the cowboys had searched the country over and over they never succeeded in finding the secret hiding place of the intruders. The purpose of the ruthless destruction of property and homes remained unknown. The people of Lonely Plain began to realize that this peril was of a serious nature. It was decided to hold a meeting to see what could be done to solve the action of the mysterious people. People from far and near were summoned to the sechool house. When they were all assembled, an old man said, We must save our land, our property, and our people from the hands of these marauders. Let us write to the Government and ask assistance at once. Jene took upon herself the task of writing and waited anxiously for a response. A month passed before a letter was received, but with it came good news. The Govern- ment was sending a young detective to Lonely Plain. A week or so later, a stranger, giving his name as Tony Morris, arrived at the Ellsworth Ranch. Morris made his home in the shanty with the other cowboys. He rode and scoured the country during the day and at night secretly watched and waited, but he too was baffled, and could not find a single clue to the mystery. One peaceful evening as the shades of night began to fall, Jene's father received a. business call so it was necessary for him to leave immediately. He hated to leave Jene alone, but she insisted that he should go. Rover would surely awaken her if anything happened, and the cowboys lived in the shanty near by. Taking his manager, Jack Hilliard, with him, Mr. Ellsworth departed just as it was growing dark. Jene waved a fond good-bye and turned her footsteps toward the home she loved. Morris, seeing the departure, decided to saddle his horse and follow Mr. Ellsworth. How peaceful the evening seemed as they rode along, Mr. Ellsworth ahead, and Morris some distance behind. All of a sudden, however, a shrill howl startled the travellers. It came from the leader of the band, who was standing on the ledge over- looking Lookout Mount. Morris fired, but missed his aim and with a bound, the man of mystery, was out of sight. After much searching, Morris returned to the shanty. llilel was worried about Mr. Ellsworth and Hilliard, but did not dare tell Jene what he ac seen. The rest of the evening passed quietly. Midnight came with Jene and Rover, her protector, both fast asleep. Suddenly, the dog sprang to his feet and began barking as he had never barked before. His barking soon awakened Jene. After reaching for her gun, she stood trembling, when the man of mystery entered. She fired a shot as he moved toward her, and then screamed! Instantly, the boys from the shanty, attracted by her call, rushed in. The mystery man, however, escaped in the confusion and could not be found. Morris and the others followed him for some distance but soon lost his track in the thick brush. The next day passed with Jane still patiently waiting for her father's return. Eve- ning arrived and still he had not come. She became worried, but Morris consoled her by saying that no doubt her father had been detained by his business. Nothing was seen of the band the following day, so it was believed that the next night would pass without any disturbance. But as the clock struck twelve, the ranch was again visited by the mystery man. He crept stealthily, and avoided going near the place where Rover had been the night before. Just as he crept through the win- dow, Jene awoke -and began to scream. This startled Rover, and the cowboys, but by the time they came the mystery man and J ene had disappeared. All efforts to follow were fruitless, even though the search was continued until morning. When noon of the following day came, Jene's father returned, grieved and worried by what had happened. A search was made during the entire afternoon but evening brought no clue to the mystery. Just at dusk a small stone was hurled through the window of the bunkhouse. Morris, seeing a piece of paper tied around it, rushed to pick it up, and read the following poorly scribbled note: Meet-with two thousand dollars in cash under the ledge at Lookout Mount -at twelve o'clock sharp, to-night, and your daughter will---- The note evidently had not been finished. The cowboys that could be reached were summoned to be ready for a fight, if ne- cessary. By nine o'clock the ranch yard was filled with cowboys, from far and near. When the hour of twelve arrived they all quietly proceeded toward the ledge, over- hanging Lookout Mount. Morris and Mr. Ellsworth went up to the ledge while the cow oys halted just out of sight. From out of the darkness came two figures, that of man and girl. Morris took a step forward, and in a voice, strong and stern said, We have come to get Jene Ellsworth from you people. I am a. detective- Hearing this the leader was about to grab Jene and retreat into the darkness, when Morris fired a shot. The rest of the band came running out, only to be met by the cow- boys, who greatly outnumbered them. There was a desperate fight, but it lasted for only a few minutes, for the band fied in the darkness and was never heard of again. At last the great mystery of Lonely Plain was revealed. The man who had en- dangtered the lives of so many lay cold and dead at the feet of Morris. When his black mas was removed, he was recognized as a man who lived alone not far from the Ellsworth ranch. For many years he had lived a solitary life, keeping as much as pos- grom sight of the outside world. No one knew the exact reason for his peculiar a 1 u e. It was later discovered, however, that he had once remarked that he was going to avenge his father, who had lost his home and property through the speculation of rich cattle owners. By means of a secret passage in the rocks under the high ledge, he con- cealed his followers, who were fellow sympathizers around the country, at night, as well as the key to the mystery of Lonely Plain. All was quiet now, the people roamed the plains of Montana freely, never to be disturbed again by the mysterious band known as the Peril of the Plains. Ann Lundquist-'24. Uur E Students Among the six hundred or more students in Lincoln High School there are several of whom special mention has been made. We have lauded and cheered the athletes for the work they have done in athleticsg we have ad- mired the contestants in oratory and debate, we have supported the dram- atic and musical organizations of our school. One group, who perhaps most truly represent that for which the school should stand, we have tended to overlook. They are the E students, those whose grades are 93 or above in all their work. This year, the group is small, onlyfour out of the six hun- dred students qualifying for it. Two of them, Marion Clark and Dorothy Kellogg, are just beginning their work for they are Freshmen. The other two, Erma Gaulke and Gertrude Thurow, are about to leave us, for they are Seniors. To these four honor students we, the faculty and students of Lincoln High School, extend congratulations and the best of Success! All of Them When you know you're going to flunk And you're feeling in a funk, Who's it helps you 'fore you're sunk? It's the teachers!

Athletic Association The Lincoln High School Athletic Association is composed of the entire student body of the school. Early in the fall the following officers were elected. Richard Burt, President. Mildred Bossert, Vice-President. Jean Nash, Treasurer. Richard Burt completed his work at the close of the first semester. Mildred Bossert then automatically became president, leaving the Vice- Presidency vacant. A special election was held January 26, which resulted in Edward Beardsley's being elected Vice-President. The Athletic Association was a financial success this year due to the Carnival, and Tournament particularly, and purchased considerable equip- ment, basketball trousers, and sweaters for the boys. On the whole the association has had a prosperous year. It wishes next year's association the best of luck. FOOTBALL COACH RITCHAY The 1923-24 athletic season was the most successful in the history of the school. Rapids High came off Football 'Champions of the Valley, champions of the Basketball Tournament held here, and holders of third place in the basketball conference. This singular success is due to one person perhaps more than any other, and everyone knows that person is Coach Ritchay. Through his untiring efforts the teams were de- veloped to the nth degree and he made possible our winning the Championship. As good clay and a good sculptor are necessary in modeling a masterpiece, so too are good material and a good coach necessary in building a Championship team. We had both. Mr. Ritchay holds and will continue to hold a warm place deep in the hearts of all the students and other followers of athletics. He is a good sport, well liked by all. Mere words seem a poor medium indeed by which to express the good that he has ac- complished and the esteem in which he is held, not only by the team but also by the school and its patrons. We must not forget, however, to mention the names of Punk McGlynn and Brooks Buckley who ably assisted him. LINEUP First Team Second Team Trudell ...... .... L .E. ......

He was one of the most consistent players on the squad. Bud was named as the best wing man that appeared on the La Crosse field this year. His playing was of such fine quality that he was given a position as end of the All-Valley First Team. As Bud is captain-elect, next year's squad will have -another good leade1', and we are all expecting heaps from the team under his guidance. Best wishes, Bud, for a successful season this fall! HAROLD SCHILLER uuocn Doc was a regular find. Although this is his first year at football he took it like a duck takes to water. His great size and weight told when he made line plunges. Speed is Harold's middle name, in fact he was one the speediest linemen in the con- ference. That quality coupled with his tackling ability gave him the qualities needed in the make-up of a fine tackle. Backing all this was his bull-dog courage and tenacity and never-say-die spirit. Harold's playing was of such fine callber that he was made left guard on the All-Valley First Team. It is with much regret that we have to see him graduate after playing with us only one season. 'BYRON CONWAY HCy7! Cy was a veteran of two previous seasons and quite a bit was expected of him this year. Cy did some mighty fine work this season even surpassing expectations. He was a perfect Rock of Gibralter on the defense, and the possessor of genuine foot- ball grit, an important factor in football. The opposing team always found Conway in the way, for he was always just one too many for most of them. He graduates this year and his absence from next year's team will be keenly felt. KARL ROENIUS ucockyn The position of Center is appropriately named for around this position the game centers. It is truly the keystone of the wall. Karl has had some experience at playing center and his playing surely showed it. His passlng was the best seen on this field in years, and not once during the entire year did he make a poor pass. His accuracy in signals and great headwork are not soon to be forgotten. He is one of the gamest men in seven states, a perfect center, a hard fighter, a fan' winner, and a good loser. .He too, because of his excellent work, secured recognition as center on the All-Valley First Team. In Karl's graduation the School loses a peach of a center and his place will be hard to fill. ROBERT GLEUE NBob!7 Bob put up a brand of football hard to beat, playing a consistent game, always in the right place at the right time. He was a valuable link in the chain.. Bob was right on the spot when it came to blocking kicks. He sure was a whirlwind at guard. Bob was a stonewall on defense and always on the job, to break through on the of- fense. He was there to put the damper on any gains attempted through his position. He did some fine work during the season and secured a position on the All-Valley Sec- ond Team, as right guard. Bob will be a big factor in the 1924 team. GENE HARCOURT ulgirpon This year was Gene's first season on the L. H. S. team, but not his first season in football, as his playing soon showed. Harcourt played heady football, and full well dld he handle his position of right tackle. Barely did a play get by him, and when on the offense, he was a whiz on opening a hole in the line. Another of his important quali- ties was his knack of smothering plays before they were fairly started. Harcourt and Schiller made a pair of the best tackles in the Valley. Gene's sterling qualities prompt- ed his selection for the All-Valley First Team, as right tackle. Harcourt does not graduate this year so next year's team is assured of a good tackle. FRANCES JOHNSTON Hans ans was ano 91 yeai ing who proved a regular find. He more than fulfilled the requirements for the position of right end. He was feared by the opposing team because of his ability to tackle, and spoil end iuns. One of Han's specialities at end was getting down under punts and tackling the opponent the moment he caught the ball. Another was in catching passes, for if a ball came through anywhere near him it was as good as caught. Hans and Trudell, made a great pair of ends. Hans was chosen as left end on the mythical All-Valley Second Team. Hans will be back next year and with another good end as sidekick should aid greatly in composing a winning team. HI-I s H , N 41' Y! CHARLES LARAMIE Send Captain A veteran of two years' standing, Captain Laramie was the nucleus around which our team grew. His good generalship throughout the season led on to a victorious climax. Send was always on the job and the ball in his hands was as good as a ten yard gain. His greatest assetiwas his punting ability. The Rapids can thank Laram1e's boot for more than one victory. As a line plunger it would be hard to find a bette1'. Scud would hit that line like a battering ram and with about the same ef- fect. as one. He was a consistent ground gamer and could always be counted upon for a distance-gaming line plunge when most needed. Laramie got the position of full- back on the.All-Valley Second Team. Scud is another regular that will be back next year and with the other regulars, the team of 1924 sure ought to knock 'em cold and carry on the work of the team of '23. EARL LE ROUX DOPEY The title Dopey would not apply to Earl's football work for it was everything but that. Le Roux was always on the alert and his speed enabled him t t ' ff , , I 0 o s ep em o niyblgoken fiehli running and in carrying back punts. A good example of his running a 1 ' ' ll l! ' 1 y was s own in the La Crosse game, in which Dopey picked up a fumble and ran fifty-eight yards through the La Crosse team, bringing the ball up to the two yard line. He was the first one on the opposing team to cross La Crosse's fifteen yard line. We need not remark how much nerve, grit, and genuine football ability he has for we have all seen him in action. When Dopey graduated at the end of the first semester the school lost. one of its best athletes, for Earl is a three letter man and his loss will be keenly felt in all branches of athletics in Lincoln High. FREDERICK GEE FRITZ Gee's line plunging made him a valuable man at half. He was one of our strongest bets. Fritz used his football experience to the best of advantage, playing a cool, steady, qonsistent game. He was a steady ground gainer and a hard player and displayed great tackling ability. When once Fritz got well started around the end it was next to impossible to stop him. Breaking up passes was another of Fritz's delights and many were the ones he intercepted. Gee obtained a position as left half on the All-Valley Second Team. The school will lose one of its finest half backs when Fritz graduates this year. MAX ALPINE MOXIE Moxie the quarter-back was small, but-oh my! This was Alpine's first year on the squad but he handled the team like a veteran. He was one of the fastest men on the team and had the ability to dodge players which makes a light man among the best ground gainers. Alpine was one of the slickest propositions the opposing teams ever attempted to handle. Many a time have we seen Moxie catching a punt and scurrying FIRST RON' -XY:nki-.

Moxie's headwork at this position was a revelation to the team and he proved a good hole picker and ball advancer, always keeping his opponents in constant fear of some quick unexpected play. His playing was of such stellar quality that he was chosen as quarter back on the All-Valley First Team. Mox is expected to come back next year and although it is almost impossible to ex- pect him to play a more perfect brand of football, we know he will do as well as his SUBS Ray Sampson, Ben Gleue, Carl Otto, Ulysses Uehling, Jack Plenke, Herman Rehman, Conrad Witte, Van Wake, and Edward Hougen were ready at an instant's notice to jump into the harness. All of them were perfectly capable of filling the various posi- tions. With a little more experience they would have given some of the regulars a run for their positions. With the experience gained this year, those subs, with the rest of this year's second string that do not graduate, ought to make the team and carry on the good work! playing this season!

The Alumni had a fairly strong line-up, composed of former L. H. S. stars, who were confident of coming out of the fray victorious. Because of this being the first game of the season, the weaknesses of the squad were revealed, the greatest of which was the lack of offensive ability. On the defen- sive, however, the line showed up quite well. The different individual weaknesses, which were also brought to light, were smoothed out by constant practice, before the first conference game. The first scoring was done by Capt. Laramie who made a touchdown :tifter several line smashes. Alpine was the next to score. The game ended 14-0 in our avor. ANTIGO vs. WISCONSIN RAPIDS The first conference game of the 1923 grid season was a hotly contested one. Antigo had the Rapids on the run for the first three quarters, but in the fourth quar- ter the tables were turned. At the end of the third quarter, Antigo, after hard fighting and successive line smashes, had succeeded in placing one touchdown to her credit. How- ever, after one of the Rapids men had carried the ball within hopeful scoring distance, things began to assume a different aspect. LeRoux then made the much needed touch- down, tying the score. The tie was broken by the goal kick. The boys deserve consid- erable credit for their gamey fighting spirit. Final score was 7-6 in our favor. MERRILL vs. WISCONSIN RAPIDS The second conference game was played with Merrill. The improving team work of the Rapids squad was shown throughout the entire game. The Merrill eleven was outplayed on every angle. After the first few minutes of playing, the Rapids literally ran away with the Merrill aggregation. Trudell, after snatching a pass from the air and sprinting twenty yards, made the first touchdown. The Rapids scored again a short time after, with a touchdown and goal-kick. This was duplicated immediately after- ward, resulting in a score of 20-0. The remainder of the game produced another touch- down and goal-kick. Undoubtedly a much larger score could have been piled up, but for the fact that the team restricted their efforts to only the simplest plays, keeping in reserve the more complicated tactics for following tilts. Merrill received the short end of a 27-0 score. WAUSAU vs. WISCONSIN RAPIDS The Wausau-Rapids game was played before the largest football crowd that ever assembled in Wausau. The crowd witnessed one of the best games of the season, a game full of hard fighting and fast playing. The Rapids eleven outplayed the Wausau ag- gregation throughout the entire game and their superiority over the Wausau men was shown by the fact that in the first half, the Rapids made ten first downs to Wausau's one. Wausau's score came in the last quarter, when the Wausau squad began to con- centrate their offense and finally succeeded in taking the ball across. The game ended Shortly after with a score of 7-0. Considerable c1'edit is due the Rapids squad for the fighting spirit displayed, stop- ping the Wausau attacks even after being handicapped by the loss of both regular guards, who had been injured quite early in the game. This game made the third conference game and the only conference defeat of the season. However, the game was protested on the grounds that Wausau played ineligible men. The protest was upheld by the Wisconsin Inter-scholastic Association with the decision that the game was no contest. This removed the Rapids' only conference de- feat. Even if the game had not been protested, Wisconsin Rapids stood a fair show of topping the conference ladder. MEDFORD vs. WISCONSIN RAPIDS The Medford team proved to be no match for the Rapids eleven, though it gave the Rapids a run for its money. Punting figured largely in this game, especially in the first half. A punting duel was literally carried on between the two teams and, due to the excellent interference and offensive of the Rapids squad, their kicker had the better of the argument. Capt. Laramie executed a beautiful place kick, netting the Rapids three ploints. T e game was barren of touchdowns until the third quarter. In the third quar- ter the Rapids began to do its stuff, and a touchdown resulted shortly afterwards. The ball was then sent sailing between the goal posts. Early in the fourth quarter the Rapids, after securing the ball, made a rapid march to the six yard line. Two line plunges carried the oval over. Another point was added by a successful goal kick, mak- ing the score 17-0. Subs then took part in the fracas and at the close of the game practically every regular in the team was sitting on the sidelines watching the Subs hold their own. The outcome was a 17-0 score,-another Rapids victory. STEVENS POINT vs. WISCONSIN RAPIDS The Point-Rapids contest was a sensational game, a game full of terrific fighting. .This game with our traditional foe, was one big thrill from beginning to end. The Rapids squad went into the game with the knowledge that they were the under-dogsg but in addition to this knowledge they carried with them an indomitable fighting spirit and a strong determination to win. The first quarter of the game was completed with- out any scoring, the oval see-sawing up and down the field. Late in the second quarter, however, the Point carried the pigskin for a touchdown. Excitement ran high during the thilif quarter. The Rapids squad attempted with might and main to score, but to no avail. Despite the fact that substantial gains were made, at the end of the third quarter the score was 6-0, in favor of the Point. Soon after the opening of the last quarter, things began to happen. The Point kicked, and Alpine, who was standing on the forty- five yard line,, got his mitts on the ball. Down the field with the speed of a whirlwind, swept Mox, snuggling the pigskin. With the aid of wonderful interference on the part of the Rapids men, he turned the trick. Mercury, professed authority on speed, would gave turned green with envy, had he seen Mox traveling The goal-kick was missed. core 6-6. Excitement began to run still higher. There was not much longer to play. Would the tie be broken, and, if so, who would break it? This question was soon answered and the Rapids rooters put at ease. The Rapids secured the ball, and, after a series of line plunges, reached the Point forty-eight yard line. Alpine again romped across the goal. A goal-kick produced another point. The Pointers then, to their chagrin, became aware of the fact that they were not the victors, but, the vanquished. They attempted desper- ately to even the score but their attempts were fruitless. The game ended with the score 13-6, in favor of the Rapids. After this game, the Rapids' hopes of championship began to assume a rosier as- pect. No one will refute Cy Conway's opinion when he said, Gosh, I don't think l'll ever play as hard a game again! Every man on the team deserves commendation, for each one sure did play football. MARSHFIELD VS. WISCONSIN RAPIDS At Marshield, before a crowd containing more Rapids than Marshfield rooters, the Rapids squad emerged victors from the last game of the season. The first touchdown was followed by another, and yet another! At the close of the first half the score stood 29-0. The second half was-well, it was just like taking candy from a kidl Score after score was made. Toward the end of the game, Alpine, Roenius, and Gleue were the only regulars in the lineup, the rest being subs. The Rapids defense was excellent and was penetrated for first downs only twice during the entire game. Marsh- field came close to scoring at one time when one of the Rapids, men, after intercepting a pass, proceeded to make dust for goal. However, he had his directions slightly mixed. At any rate they were confused enough so that he chose the wrong goal as his objective. He had covered most of the distance and was nearing goal before he was overtaken by another Rapids player who turned him about and started him in the right direction. Harold, for such proved to be the lost runner's name, did some tall step- ping on the back-trail and succeeded in negotiating a considerable distance before being downed. Thus Marshfield's only chance of scoring was sent glimmering. The Rapids won by a large margin, the final score being 68-0. The offensive and defensive abilities of the team are shown by the fact that during the season they scored 145 points against their opponents, while only 57 points were scored against them. The Marshfield tilt terminated the most successful football season in the history of the school. The Rapids eleven, the Valley darkhorse, finished with Hying colors, the undisputed possessor of the Valley Championship. ' LA CROSSE VS. WISCONSIN RAPIDS The Rapids eleven journeyed to La Crosse Saturday, November 3, where they en- gaged in combat with the powerful La Crosse squad. Captain Laramie was removed from the game early in the first quarter due to leg injuries. This placed the Rapids at a decided disadvantage, for they were now without a punter. The greater weight and experience of the La Crosse line soon told and steady gains were made by them. Even after LaCrosse had taken the ball over for several touchdowns, the Rapids squad did not lose heart. Their fighting courage predominated and they stuck to it until the final whistle sounded. At one time during the game, the oval was carried as far as the two yard line after a forty-eight yard dash by Le Roux. The game closed with the score, 38- .

G. Scud was a veteran of two years and that experience, coupled with his natural basket ball ability, made him one of the best guards in the valley. Captain Scud and his running mate Johnston were classed as the best pair of guards in the tournament. Charlie's guarding throughout the season was of the finest quality. Saud played a great fioor game and even though his position was one that did not permit much scor- ing he many times dropped the ball through for much needed scores. Proof of the quality of Laramie's guarding, working in conjunction with that of Johnston, is shown in the fact that in four consecutive games a total of but nine field goals have been chalked up against them. Laramie's work was of such fine caliber that he was chosen as guard on the first mythical All-Tourney Team. Charlie will be back next year and we know he will aid greatly in making next year's team a winner! FRANCIS JOHNSTON, R. G. Hans, Laramie's fighting mate, did some superb work this season. This was his first year on the team and it appeared, by his work, as though he were making up for lost time. Hans had plenty of speed and many were the plays broken up and passes intercepted by him. Johnston, though working more on the defensive made his share of markers. Hans seemed to be everywhere on the defense, smothering attacks, spoil- ing shots and in other ways forming a barrier as though a stone-wall intervened. We are fortunate to have Hans back again next year and with Scud as a mate, next year's team ought to duplicate the work of this year's quint. LAWRENCE TRUDELL R. G. Bud was an old hand at the art of playing basket ball. As a running guard Trudell couldn't be beaten for he had speed and size for a guard. Trudell played a fast, snappy game, and is one of the fiashiest guards ever seen on the local floor. Beside his sterling guarding qualities Bud possessed a fine basket eye. Trudell started the season in whirlwind fashion playing a wonderful floor game, but owing to grades he was taken out after the .fourth game for the rest of the year. Bud will be back next year and will be a big factor in the team. Here's to better luck with those studies next year, Bud! GEORGE GIBSON, C. Six feet of fighting, clever, agile center was Spark Plug. Sparkie gave pro- mise of being a crack basket ball man last year and he sure did live up to expectations. Geordie played a great offensive game and defensive game and working in unison with the other men of the team formed the famous Rapids' five-man defense. His great reach and ability to jump coupled with a dauntless fighting spirit have helped make many a perfect play beside baffling many a veteran center. He has developed a sure eye for baskets and he pulled down many a score in tight places. Gordie was a steady hand at passing and he played a heady game in every sense of the word. Sparkie graduates this year and his loss to next year's team will be a great one. DAVID KLEBERG, R. F. Davie has had some experience in basketball, especially in the forward position, and its effect could be plainly seen in his work this year. Dave is one of the flashiest forwards ever developed on the home floor and many are the guards who have been fooled by his clever passing and heady offensive work. Dave possessed an eagle-eye for the basket and was a regular fiend for long shots. His arm was unerring and he placid- ly dropped 'em through the net. Dave's speed made him one of the toughest propo- sitions that some of the opponent guards ever attempted to tackle. The fact that Dave is a Junior is very fortunate indeed for the welfare of next year's team. MAX ALPINE, L. F. This was Mox's first year on the regular squad, but his playing made him appear like a veteran on the floor. He played a fast and consistent game and was very clever in passing and working past the guards. He too, possessed a dead eye for the hoop and more than contributed his share of the score. Mox's floor work was superb and the watchword of the Point squad in the first Rapids-Point game was watch Alpine. How- ever, Mox was unfortunate in that he was down in his studies and the fourth game was the last one of the season that he played. Moxie is expected to be back next year and if he gets these studies half as well as he got the baskets he will come through HUGH DAMON, L. F. The man who played forward with Kleberg had to have speed and lots of it and Buck Damon had both. When Mex was taken out of the game Buck jumped right in and took up the work where Alpine was forced to leave off. Buck, like Kleberg, was flashy and played a consistent game. Truly he was a fitting mate for Dave. Buck did some exceedingly fine floor work and many were the times that he upset the other team's defense. Damon possessed a supernatural mid-floor basket-eye and unerr- ing aim which resulted in his doing some heavy scoring. O. K. Substitutes VAN WAKE, L. G. Wake was a steady, consistent guard and gives promise of developing into an A-1 player. He was called on in several games and was there with the goods. As Van graduates this year we will not have the opportunity to watch him develop. ROBERT GLEUE, R. F. Bob was a speedy, clever forward and was a whirlwind on both offense and defense. Due to illness Bob was not able to be in condition to play until the end of the season. Bob is expected back next year and should be a valuable asset to the team. RAY SAMPSON, L. F. Ray did some excellent work at the forward position and with a little more experi- ence he would have made the first team this year. Ray is a Junior and as advancement is his present occupation, we predict starring as his future occupation on the team of 1925. EDWARD BEARDSLEY, C. Ed was a cracker-jack of a sub and showed signs of developing into a future star in the basketball world. He had speed, fight and nerve. Ed. graduates this year, too. JACK PLENKE, R. G. Plenke was a steady, consistent guard and played a good game. He has the quali- ties of a regular basketball player lacking only in experience. Jack will be a valuable asset to next year's team.

S a mpson With the close of the football season all attention was turned toward basketball. The team was composed of vets who had greatly improved on their default of the pre- vious season, speed. The Medford game pried the lid off the basketball season and in this opening game the Rapids was represented by one of the speediest teams in the his- tory of the school. In Medford, the boys met one of the strongst combinations in the valley. Because of this being the initial game of the season the boys could hardly show their regular form for they were not yet thoroughly acquainted with each other's style of playing. The game was hard fought from beginning to end. The game proved a defeat ending with a 17-8 score. The Rapids quintette met the Marshfield aggregation in the second game of the sea- yPl RWD N x x .Q if 4 .iff . I ' Jag Y gg?

The five were in greatly improved condition with the defects shown in the first game, ironed out. The Rapids fellows handed Marshfield a severe trouncing, playing a snappy, dashing brand of basketball. They completely outplayed the Marshfield bunch and handed them the short end of a 37-11 score. The Nekoosa five was the next team to be handed defeat at the hands cf the Rapids. The Rapids aggregation was handicapped by the absence of Alpine who had encountered some scholastic difficulties. The team met the finished Nekoosa five on the latter's fioor, where they proceeded to repeat the operations of the Marshfield game. Though the game was more hotly contested than the preceding one, it culminated in the same result. The score was 22-17 . On January 18, the old rivals, Rapids and Point, again met. The games between the Rapids and the Point are usually exciting and this was no exception. The game was 'featured by close guarding, the score at the end of the first half being 6-4, with the Point in the lead. An abundance of speed, nerve and hard fighting rendered the second half still more exciting than the first. The Pointers came off victorious with meager margin, the score being 17-14. Greatiy handicapped by the loss of Alpine and Trudell, who were ineligible because of grades, the Rapids five contended in battle with the greatly strengthened Wausau team. The Wausau game sure was a battle royal. It was featured by terrific fighting from the opening of the game until the final whistle sounded. It was anybody's game until the last minute. The Rapids won the contest with a 14-12 score. Damon and Johnston, taking the places of the ineligible men, did some wonderful basket shooting. Kleberg, forward, and Laramie, guard, put up a great defensive battle, holding down the would-be Wausau scoremakers. Following the Wausau game, the Lincoln warriors made a three-day trip into the North, where they played two games, the first of which was played with Merrill. Play- ing a great offensive and defensive game, the Rapids quintette completely ran away with the Merrill bunch. Kleberg, Damon and Gibson hopped right to it and began to pile up the baskets while Laramie and Johnston did some stellar work as guards, holding the Merrillites to two field goals. Final score 32-5. Leaving Merrill, the boys invaded Tomahawk, where another game with the North- erners was played. The Tomahawk quint was reputed to be one of the fastest in the conference and the game was expected to be a close one. However, the Rapids cagers repeated their scintillating display of the Merrill game, and showed the Tomahawk boys how regular basketball is played. They completely took the Tomahawk quintette oii' its feet, fivestrong, with the score, 25-9, in favor of the Rapids. In this game the fel- lows again put up a great defensive battle. Proof of their excellent offensive work is shown in the fact that during the last three games, their opponents were held to a total of eight field goals. Ah, now for that return game with Nekoosa, which proved to be a rip-snorter! The Nekoosa five in A-1 condition, backed by a crowd of rooters, determined to wipe out the defeat encountered earlier in the season,, met the Lincoln quint on the Amusement Hall fioor. The game started with a rush and before it had proceeded very far it could plainly be seen that it was going to be a game of defense. Defense it was for as soon as either team lost possession of the ball they would form into an unpenetrable -five man defense. However, in defense the Rapids team was supreme, and their superior playing' soon began to tell with the baskets starting to roll in. But even so, the Rapids earned every point they made. The game ended with Nekoosa on the light end of a 10-3 score. The next clash was our return game with our traditional rivals, the Point. The Point quint came down, backed by rooters, ower two hundred strong. When the time for the opening of the game came every seat was filled and 2,500 rabid fans, the largest basketball crowd in the history of the town, were seated on edge waiting to see the greatest contest ever staged between the two rivals. The Point scored fir st and the bas- ket was greeted with a roar from the Point rooters. The Point got another point shortly afterwards on a free throw. Kleberg dropped one in for the Rapids and the rear of applause from the Lincoln rcoters fairly lifted the roof. Due to the hard playing and terrific guarding, scores followed only at long intervals. With one minute to play the Point was leading 14-12 and just before the close the Point made good on a free throw, making the score 15-12. Thus the previous score of 17-14 was almost duplicated. Then the Point five came out with the knowledge that they had been in something! fl-Iere the old proverb He who laughs last, laughs best, might well be applied, for the tournament told a different story.j The Marshfield bunch was determined to get revenge for the defeat suffered earlier in the season. Their opportunity came when they met the Lincoln cagers in the last game of the regular schedule. The Marshfield five had improved greatly since the two teams had last met and the game was a fast one. The score was about evenly divid- ed until the last quarter, when the Rapids worked fast and piled up a couple of baskets and free throws Thus Marshfield again suffered defeat at the hands of the Rapids. fTough luck Marshfield.J The final score was 10-5. And now comes the tournament with the best game of the season, the Rapids-Point tilt. 1924 Champions Tournament Schedule Stevens Point--- Greenwood -- Medford - - - - - - - Red Granite-- Nekoosa .... ---- Granton --- Wisconsin Rapids- - -- - - - - Montello -- Stevens Point--- Medford -- Wisconsin Rapids Nekoosa ---, Montello ---.- - -- Granton ----- Red Granite-N -- Greenwood -- Wisconsin Rapids Medford -------- Red Granite- - - ,. - Medford -------- Stevens Point Red Granite-- Montello ---- Nekoosa -- The final result of the 1924 Tournament was: Wisconsin Rapids-First. Stevens Point-Second. Medford-Third. The Tournament Now hark ye, people while I tell Of that one great event Held in the Rapids armory, And called the Tournament. Fitte the First The leading teams in basket-ball The Rapids district in, Met here to see which team was best And which first prize should win. We went to school at eight o'clock And, shortly after two, We put away our books and things, For then our school was through. We hied us then unto the hall, To see the teams at play, For Stevens Point led off the iight With Greenwood that first day. The Greenwood players-plucky chaps Did play with might and main, But Stevens Point won easily, It gave the Rapids pain. Then next the brave Red Granite boys Ran out upon the floor: But Medford was too much for them And won by quite a score. Then after supper to the hall The folks came flocking in. To see Nekoosa, Granton play And see our neighbors win. Our Rapids team did then appear And mighty shouts arose To see them trot out on the floor Arrayed in fine new clothes. The boys' new suits were red and white, To earn them they had toiled. They dared not sit when time was called For fear they'd get them soiled. They played Montello and the foe Was easy to subdue The Rapids won. We all went home The first combat was through. Fitte the Second Next day at shortly before three We to the hall did go To see Red Granite on the floor Greenwood to overthrow. Poor Greenwood boys-they had hard luck No baskets could they make. Red Granite found it easy quite Poor Greenwood's scalp to take. Montello then did Granton play And Granton lost the game. The boys went home to rest and eat, The girls-they did the same. But after supper to the hall The people came by dozens, Each brought his parents, his best girl, His sisters, aunts, and cousins. We gathered early at the doors And waited there until The doors were opened. Then behold How fast the hall did fill. The Rapids side filled up until There seemed no room for more N ekoosa chose the other side Right handy to the door. The minutes passed and still they came, Men, women, girls, and boys, All well equipped with voices tuned To make a heap of noise. And when 'twould seem the house was full And we'd no room for more, There came the sound of hurrying feet The Point was at the door . And in they came and round they marched To find a place to stay At last they settled down-but even Then were in the way. They brought a band-the band it seemed Could only play the drum. The way those poor drums thundered made Us wish they hadn't come. Then suddenly a yell went up As Medford boys ran in , The Rapids cheered and yelled and howled In hopes that team would win. The Point team entered. From that side Rose such a mighty roar It seemed it really put to shame All noises made before. The game began. Both teams played well May Medford win, said we. She surely has the better team Would WE were referee! Alas! Alas! for Medford's team Such gallant players too. The Point did win by just one score 'Twas sad-and we were too. The Pointers yelled and shrieked with joy, The Rapids groaned and sighed, The drums beat loud-The Point sure was Beside itself with pride. Then came Nekoosa players in To play our Rapids boys We ceased to sigh o'er Medford's loss And made a heap of noise. To welcome in our own good team To play our nearest neighbors, The game was hard but Rapids won The victory by her labors. Then home we went. And jubilant The Pointers home went they, But then tomorrow, Stevens Point, Might bring another day. Fitte the Third On Saturday P. M. we went Again the games to see Red Granite played Montello's team And won right easily. Medford beat Nekoosa too Then home we went to eat. We hurried back most anxiously To get a splendid seat. Of great importance were these games This night would tell the story Who'd win the silver basketball And get the fame and glory. The Point arrived, into the hall They marched with pride and glee, They brought a really truly band To lead to victory. The Pointers too a bugler brought To hail our loss with taps When they took home the victory. Oh! how we fooled those chaps! So confident were they! They knew They had the victory fast. But we remembered- He laughs best Whose chance comes to laugh last. And when our boys came in the hall We didn't need a band To make a noise. We yelled so loud It fairly shook the land. The game began. One basket ours! Ahead the very first! The Point kept still. We all did scream As if our throats we'd burst. The game went on-We were ahead But then they reached our limit. They passed it, and they were ahead For nearly half a minute. A foul was called. The whistle blew But blew an instant late For Kleberg made a free throw count. The score stood eight to eight. The second half we got ahead And then ahead did stay The Pointers now began to see Things would not go their way. The Rapids rooters yelled: We'll win, We'll win by golly, we'll win. And many a face before so glum Was brightened with a grin. 'Twas over! Yes, the Rapids won The prize was ours! Hooray! And people laughed and yelled and wept So jubilant were they. Where was the Pointer's bugler then ? Here was a chance to play Taps for dead hopes of Stevens Point, The bugler got away. The band it vanished, and the crowd Of Pointers vanished too. But how they went or when they went I cannot tell, can you? But this I know. They made no noise But moved with quiet tread And lowered tones. Also their hopes Of Championship were dead. But of the Rapids-what of them? They won first place that night. The town rejoiced so I've been told Until the morning light. So let us scream, Long live the team! Coach Ritchay, long live he! And when they next bring home a prize May we be there to see! -Edna Hatch. Wisconsin State Tournament On March 25, 1924, the Lincoln High School Basketball team left Wis- consin Rapids for Madison to represent this district in the tournament for the state championship. Most of the games preceding the state tournament were close and hard fought battles but generally with the L. H. S. having the long end of the score when the game was over. Therefore a good show- ing was expected from the champs of this district. On March 26 the L. H. S. met the River Falls champs of the Northern district and after a hard fought game lost by a 19 to 16 score. The next day they met the Arcadia winners of the Eau Claire district and were re- turned winners 16 to 14. The next day, March 28, the L. H. S. team played what was considered their best game of the year and defeated Watertown 21 to 7. At no time after the first five minutes was the game in danger. March 29 saw the Red and White warriors receive the worst defeat of the year, by Wauwatosa 22 to 3. The team slumped and could not pull them- selves out. Having won two and lost two at a state tournament the L. H. S. feels satisfied and considers the tournament a big success. The Four A's - Marian Clark Verna Fahrner Bcrdina Falkosky OFFICERS Firft Szmeftsr Swami Sfmwter President - - - Susan Nash President - - Vice President Ruth Ruckle Vice President - Secretary Betty Nash Secretary - - Treasurer - Ethel Wellner Treasurer - - Have you heard of the wonderful FourA girls With braids and shingles, bobs and curls? How they had a number of quarrels a day, But nevertheless in work and in play They smoothed them all out in a wonderful way ? Have you heard of them, again-I say Listen! and I'l1 tell you without delay. In nineteen hundred and twenty-two, Those who have forgotten that day are few, The eighth grade girls established this club To play basketball, the game they love. In the gym, every Wednesday, they met without fail, In the best of weather and wintry galeg They practiced hard, nor would they rest, Their team, they said, must be the bestg Team, did I tell you, I rather guess It was a wonder and nothing less! The month of March--It came and found The Arpin girls all trimmed up brown, Port was left without a score to its crown, But Nekoosa, Oh my! -- Oh me! - How we got beat we never could see, But the return game ended three to three. Now team, said Sue, This will never do, We must beat Port, Wednesday, fifty to two! At the hour of seven by the old gym clock We must give their team an awful shock. And the rest cheered so loudly they were heard a block, But winners, or losers, in town or out They were mighty good sports without a doubt. In September, nineteen hundred and twenty-three The club was as busy as busy could be, Selecting new members, for don't you see , Although they numbered more than a score, They felt there was room for a few girls more. A few freshman maids with health and vigor Would make the Club better as well as bigger. New members were selected and it was agreed To welcome them with a melon feed, For though the club is not noted for greed It can stow away eats with amazing speed. The guests were asked and the time was set And never a day dragged slower yet Than did that one,-but when 'twas through Dorothy Rember l'lKS'l' ROW We-llm-r. lh-inivr. ll.

Then after a walk of a mile or so, A merry jolly laughing crew, We reached the spot where the melons grew. There were long melons, round melons, large and small And the Four A girls were after them all. The melons were bought by Miss Rossman and Dot While the rest looked about and selected a spot To eat. Then they hustled about and got wood To make their fire as good campers should, The weiners were toasted, you should hear the girls laugh When melons were cut-and each had two and a half. They said, Eat your melon, however you choose But fingers and mouths are tools you must use. Some dug the fruit out with none too clean fingers While others-and here's where my memory lingers Round Betty and Sue-It was surely a treat To see them just bury their faces and eat, While the juice trickled down from their heads to the Before we had finished-and the evening grew dark The president rose and said, Now all of you hark!

They took Miss Hatch and just one more Blindfolded their eyes, turned them a score Of times round, then led them a rod or so ir feet Over ground where fonly did sandburrsl grow. And the burrs stuck fast as they would you know. Of the ordeals this was the very first Though do not think this was the worst To tell you all I have not time Besides it would not go well in rhyme! But the members new, they stood the test And became Four A girls with all the rest. On October twentieth-that night of nights With dances and music, plays and sights, Mid crowded rooms and glowing lights, The Four A's gave at the Carnival The operetta- The Story Book Ball, And practice they did both night and day To make a success of this little play, A success it was too, without a doubt, The girls did their parts with never a pout. That it was a success all the way through We owe to Miss Rossman and Miss Eversz too. Among the stars I'm sure it was writ That we should give this play for a benefit, For in less than three months without delay We again presented this little play, Of which I'll tell you with out delay. Betty Nash as Simple Simon was fine She and Miss Muffet did a dance sublime, The old cat came and brought her fiddle, But how her tail stuck on was considered a riddle, Ruth Ruckle dressed in a gown of blue, Took the part of the Old Woman Who Lived in a S The water was passed by Jill and by Jack, Before they came out Jack stepped on a tack, Our dignified president as Old King Cole, Did certainly play a jolly good role, Our Bobbie as good old King of Hearts After the show took all of the Queen's tarts, Birdina as Knave completed the three, As everyone very plainly could seep Alice Hougen as Humpty-Dumpty so fat Said that Lois looked cute in her tall red hatg Mildred Wales as Jack with his candlestick Was very good when she did her trick, Eve Johnson with her kettle new Isn't in Four A's but she helped us too, Kathleen Nason in a cape and cap of red Was very good as every one saidg Phyllis Walter as Mother very stunning did look Jean as her daughter carried a Mother Goose Book. For ushers-Dorothy-Thalita-Anna and Rose Helen and Elsie were the ones that we chose. And we wish to thank you one and all For the help you gave in The Story Book Ball. On the ninth day of January-The twenty-five In a big bob-sleigh decided to drive. Safely to reach Port Edwards they tried hoe H Three deep-two in the middle-some running outside In coats, caps and mittens, Verna's scarf to her nose, Three mighty cheers for the Club soon arose. Now in building sleighs, I'll tell you, said Dot, There is always somewhere a weakest spot. When all at once the horses stood still, Then something decidedly like a spill ---- The bunch climbed out looking round about. Look girls, said Alice, 'Tis mighty plain This crossbar just can't stand the strain. The driver swore Cas drivers do,J But soon had it all fixed up like new, And back they climbed-except a few. Huddup! said the driver-off went they Wondering what would happen next to the sleigh, And talking about the events of the day. Before the schoolhouse corner was past Helen then driving said, Let's go fast! And shouts arose from left and right Stick on! Stick on! Hold tight! Hold tight, Oh! Lenore you're choking me, do-let go! Stop them! Stop them I Steady! There-Whoa ! First a shiver and then a thrill And once again the team stood still What do you think the whole crowd found When they got up and stared around? Why poor Billy Baker in a heap on the ground For once in her life not making a sound I I But soon up she sprang with her usual smile And nothing more happened the rest of the mile.

H. S. was? iWell, our alumni editor was curious to know so she secured the following infor- mation.J The first annual of Lincoln High School was the 1913 May issue of the Ahdawagan, a paper in Magazine form published monthly by the students of this school. It was a small paper, consisting of sixteen pages eight of which were advertisements, but a good starter! We thought that you, as well as the staff, would be interested in seeing the accompanying reproduction of the original cover. The Indian design used in this 1913 annual was a splendid pen and ink drawing made by Grim Natwick, a member of the graduating class. The joke section entitled Josh ,Cthey had joke sections then too, by the wayl is short but very interesting. There is also a section containing the Junior Class History fwe wonder why the Seniors' history was not in- cludedj and several short articles. There were forty-two graduates in 1913, eleven of whom were graduated from the Manual Training Departmentg ten, from the German, eight from the Domestic Science 3 five from the Englishg five from the Commercial, and three from the Modern Classical. At that time there were six courses taught, but it is very apparent that the Manual Training and German courses were the most popular. The editor of the Ahdawagam, and the President of the Senior Class was Theodrick Bradford, a graduate of the Manual Training Department and brother of Miss Bess Bradford. The motto accompanying his picture is: Right fat, I undertake, but loked holwe, and thereto soberly. We wonder if he really is as sober as he is pictured! W A Letter Janesville, Wisconsin, March 18, 1924. Ahdawagam Editor Lincoln High School Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. Dear friend: It has been called to my attention that a page of the 1924 issue of the Ahdawagam is to be dedicated to me. This is indeed a surprise and I feel highly honored to be thus chosen. As the first editor I suppose that I am expected to make a few remarks or write an article of unusual interest to accompany this letter. Not being very good at either I will just tell a few of the incidents which relate the beginning of the Ahdawagam. In the summer of 1911 the Bradford family camped on the shores of Lake Biron fcommonly called the Wisconsin Riverj, at a point near the present Taylor farm. Our camp was quite a hangout for young people and among the frequent guests were Ryland Boorman, Mary Jones, Dean Brun- dage, Marion Atwood, all the Natwicks from Grim to Deeds and numerous others who will accuse me of slighting them by not putting their names in print. At odd times when not doing yesterday's dishes or getting wood for a camp fire, we used to propose all sorts of things to keep us busy then and also when we returned to school in the fall. One day I conceived the Idea that we ought to have a paper at the Lincoln High School. fl can hear six different people exclaim that the idea was original with them, still I claim itll The idea met with instant approval and plans were made at once for making this paper a reality. Everyone promised assistance Q Grim Natwick promised a cover de- sign, Ryland Boorman promised lots of advice, Mary Jones reams of copy, and so on. It looked from the start as though everything would be easy. Everyone approached wanted to cooperate and be an editor, artist or what- not. School opened in the fall and our plans were laid before the faculty for approval and criticism and we got away to a flying start. The school was canvassed for subscriptions, and we found more than enough who were will- ing to subscribe to a cat in the bag even though they didn't know the color of it. The printers made us a very reasonable price for printing and even offered to print the first issue without charge if we failed to raise the neces- sary money. The first issue came out on time and met with huge success. Subse- quent issues were not always on time but success was quite a frequent vi- itor. With the help of the brethren, we issued the Ahdawagam as a monthly paper until the graduation of the class of 1913. Succeeding issues have been in the form of an Annual, and in such form the Ahdawagam has acquired more dignity and style than our little monthly possessed. As a former edi- tor, I sincerely wish that its popularity may never diminish but that it will continue to grow as it has in the past. Very truly yours, T. W. Bradford, Class of 1913 Our First Editor History of 1880 Class of Howe High School February 13, 1924. The High School system in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin was organiz- ed about 1879, the principal being Julius Rochalt, now a prominent business man of Minneapolis. The class consisted of John Horton, now deceased, B. M. Vaughan and E. P. Arpin. The graduation exercises took place on Fri- day, June 9th, a day well placed in the memory of the writer for the reason that things were happening just then, in fact, just tumbling down. Even the elements could not be contained, and the clouds continued to pour down rain in torrents. On Saturday, the 10th, fire destroyed the Rablin House, the finest hotel in Central Wisconsin. This hotel was located where the T. B. Scott Library now stands. The next day, Sunday, June 11th, the Wisconsin River overflowed its banks near the Rablin House site and tore up the street down as far as Daly's Drug Store. Several buildings along the river were washed away, among them the Hardware Store belonging to Brundage and Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson lost his life while trying to save his property and his body was never recovered. Wisconsin Rapids has been very fortunate in the manner in which its schools have been managed and the fine buildings supplied as required by the growth of the city. The active interest taken in the schools by the business men of the city on the school board, kept our high school well to the front by securing the best teachers available. The Manual Training Department was started about 1900 through the efforts of a ladies' committee, who solicited the funds to purchase the first equipment. I happened to be on the school board for many years and it was a pleas- ure to serve with such men as Geo. R. Gardner, J. D. Witter, J. A. Gaynor, Geo. L. Williams and other active citizens. The Alumni Association recently formed can give excellent service in maintaining an active interest in the school work and stimulate each suc- ceeding class to maintain the high ideals of the good morals of our com- munity.

W Y A BOOB fWith apologies to Leigh Hunt.j A boob one morning-may his kind decrease- Awoke in class from a sweet dream of peace, And, looking 'round the empty room, Saw watching him with look of gloom, A teacher, who quite often liked to scold Because of former luck, a boob grew bold, And to the teacher at the desk he said, What writest thou? The teacher shook her head, And, with a voice quite chill and firm, Answered, The names of those who fail this term. And is mine one? asked A boob. Yea quite so, The teacher answered, and spoke more low, However firmly still, How can you hope to pass, When every day you sleep in class? The teacher rose and showed the boy his grade, A big round zero was the only mark he made. He saw the list of those who would not pass, And lo! his name ahead! Alas! Alas!

The flowers were singing sweetly, The birds were full of bloom, I was going down the cellar To clean an upstairs room. I looked ten thousand miles away To a house just out of sight Alone it stood between two more And it was black-washed white. A ten-year old boy entered one cf the banks of a thriving town and walked up to the cashier. Mister, he said, I want a check for a lady that folds in the middle. Mr. Voskuil in American History: At this time what labor would be demanded of the Chinese ? Bright Student: Laundry. . VEGETABLE PROPOSAL Don't you carrot all for me? he said.

T0 A POSTOFFICE INKWELL: How many humble hearts have dipped In you, and scrawled their manuscript! Have shared their secrets, told their cares, Their worries and quaint affairs!

Does she ever get so bad , That she makes you feel so sad 3 And instead of being glad, She appears quite mean and mad ? We wonder. II. Does she keep you after school Then say you didn't mind the rule And makes it clear that you're a fool? Oh goodness! Could she be so cruel? We wonder. IV. Does she kick you out of class, When you accidentally sass? Does she say My lad' or 'lass' At this rate you'll never pass? We wonder. V. Does she make you recognize, That you must apologize Cause you acted much too wise, For your age, or for your size? We wonder. VI. Does she ever blame on you Something that you'd never do ? Does she sit and laugh and coo, When she hears you cry boo hoo? We wonder. VII. When she gives that awful test, It's so stiff you cannot rest, Does she call you an old pest When you try to do your best? We wonder. ANTH EM My auto, 'tis of thee, short cut to poverty-of thee I chant. I blew a pile of dough on you three years ago, now you refuse to go-or won't or can't. Through town and countryside I drove thee full of pride, no charm you lacked. I loved your gaudy hue, your tires so round and new--now I feel mighty blue, the way you act. To thee, old rattlebox, came many bumps and knocks, for thee I grieve. Badly thy top is torn, frayed are thy seats and worn, the croup affects thy horn, I do believe. Thy perfume swells the breeze, while good folks choke and sneeze, as we pass by. I paid for thee a price, 'twould buy a mansion twice: now everyone yells Ice, I wonder why. Thy motor has the grip, thy spark plug has the pip, and woe is thine. I, too, have suffered chills, fatigue and kindred ills, trying to pay the bills since thou wert mine. Gone is my bank roll now, no more 'twould choke a cow, as once before. Yet if I had the yen, so help IMC John-fAmen! I'd buy a car again and speed some more. fAdapted from Bay City otorist . 5 ' I Q. ul, 4 A MQ, Q f N Z W x 'E r w ' ff-E Shin:-T f xx Q x N. ' w S xx.

Had he placed the fur side outside, Had he placed the skin side inside, Had he placed the outside inside, Had he placed the inside outside Then the warm side would have been outside, And the cold side would have been inside, So to get the fur side warm side inside, He placed the skin side inside outside.

A DOLLAR A DAY It's pretty hard to believe, isn't it, that a dol- lar deposited each year at compound interest for a period of fifty years amounts to 830715. That's just an example of how money grows, and if a dollar a year for fifty years amounts to that sum, how large the sum would be if instead of depositing a dollar a year, a dollar a week were de- posited. Think this over and see if you don't come to the conclusion that systematic saving is the plan for you to follow. We will very gladly discuss a definite plan with you, and we will assist you in every way pos- sible.
