He’s of a philosophic mind and tbis advice doth give, “Forget your sorrow and be gay, if you would longer live.”’ meet ee Four years ago—well, I think I’ll say short years, for they were short in the minds of the members of the senior class—one hundred and fifty-nine eighth-grade graduates plunged into their high school life. They came from schools of both the north and south sides, and also from rural schools, and assembled one bright morning in the first week of September, nineteen hundred eleven, in the large assembly room of the Central High School. As freshmen, the majority avoided the upper-classmen, on their way through the park, to and from school; especially on warm balmy days, when the fountain, which was always full of that cool sparkling aqua, served the purpose of the brilliant sophs in giving the freshmen a so-called ‘‘fresh ducking.” Some escaped and some did not. This class of freshmen truly showed the right school spirit and was active in athletics as well as in scholarship. As sophomores, they were now aware that they had passed the dividing line, for were they not a portion of the upper-classmen, privileged to enjoy for the first time, their superiority over the freshmen? They were no longer in the assembly on the third floor, 31 but on the second, the first step toward the goal of every high school student. They also played a prominent part in athletics, especially in the interclass work. The boys entirely outclassed the other three squads in their team-work in both Baseball and Basketball, but, because of a little hard luck, they ended the series during the year by closely following the Juniors, who finished first. The class of 1915 entered upon its Junior year with an unbound- ed spirit of jollity. It represented the bright and light nature of High School life. The students that did not take part in athletics helped those that did by giving their support ina ‘‘Hu-ah! Hu-ah! Manitoua-—” ending up with ‘‘Manitowoc High School, rah! rah! rah!” We do not forget the girls, for they joined in at an octave higher. The Baseball team, which was successful in every game, was composed mostly of Junior boys. ; The class had now almost climbed to the summit of the moun- tain, the High School Career, and was now contemplating what lay beyond. The Junior boy would see the vision of his entering some school of higher education or perhaps of beginning his life- work in the great wide business world; while the Junior girl would dream of some useful vocation and later, perhaps, of a beautiful home. The light of a coming day, dimly now, yet distinctly, had revealed itself in the romantic intellect of every Junior. Days of darkness and of light of the past few years flashed through their minds. They realized that at the end of another short year they would be scattered to the four winds like the down of a ripened thistle. During the last year, they assumed their responsibilities ina sober and business-like way, and commanded the respect of all who knew them. The term ‘‘dignified Seniors” could well be applied to them, for they realized the fact that soon they were tobe put to the test for which they had prepared themselves. This class is honored by being the largest class ever graduated from the High School of Manitowoc, having more than four score of members enrolled. It stands for all that is right and leaves the M. H. S. with a determination to understand what lies before it. Last but not least, it extends its appreciation and gratitude to the worthy teachers who worked so incessantly with it and helped each Senior to his present attainment. Lloyd Anderson. 9 The Way O’er the beautiful land of Wisconsin, O’er the shores of our shimmering lake, O’er winds, bearing fragrance of summer, O’er birds warbling songs, now awake, Shone the sun in that beautiful summer, Sent down golden beams, rays of light, On aclass, gay, still proud in its glory, Struggling mightily on toward the height, Where a star shone afar,—ever nearer, All strove o’er a rough, stony way, To the Goal, to the height of Ambition; And ever the sun sent his ray, To aid and to cheer the way farers, To see that none fell by the way; And sometimes a bud, in the sunlight, Burst into bloom, while the day Wore on and on, and the evening Entered with stars, ’stead of flowers, Twinkling amid heaven’s splendor, Glowing amid passing hours; Stars, gleaming eyes of the Angels, Watching each one from on high, Shining with hope o’er each virtue, Biding their time till each sigh Turn into smiles, and each teardrop, Fade amid laughter; and fear Give place to hope, and Ambition Hold sway in each youth’s career, The hope, not to gain just for gain’s sake, To win over other’s defeat; But to know after tasting life’s sorrow, To feel still that living is sweet. Myrtle Brandt. 22555 Oh, young people, live wisely The beautiful years that welcome you; Do not hurry, Do not worry, As this world you travel through. No regretting, Fuming, fretting, Ever can advantage you. Be content with what you’ve done; What on earth you leave undone, There are plenty left to do. P. M. Wyline. Darkness was just closing. in on the city of New York, as Mr. J. D. Markham closed the doors of his magnificently equipped office and went home. The next day his private car rolled into Chicago and he set out in search of his old schoolmate Pat, who, he heard, was making a fortune by producing the ‘‘None-Such Sauer-Kraut, in Wooden It was not hard to find the place for he had the address, —34— and in a short time he was ushered into the private sanctum of the Sauer-Kraut King. “Well! Well! Mac, old boy, how are you?” “Oh! pretty fine for an old man!” _ ‘Say, you have quite a place here, haven’t you? I hear you’re making barrels of money.” ‘No! Sauer-Kraut!” “‘Owa! How are the folks?” ‘“Tust fine! So am I, andl hope you are too—the most promi- nent lawyer in New York State, as the papers put it, Well, how you have changed! What’s up now? Someone here trying to evade the law?” “Oh, no. I’mon my vacation, just at present, and I want you to take one too. Let’s look up some of our old M. H. S. school- mates.”’ “Well, the only one I know of is Peck—you know, Reuben Peck. He’s living here and his inventive genius is the talk of the scientific world. He has invented some sort of a contraption, but I don’t know what itis. Let’s go to see him to-morrow.” The next day, the two men were shown into the perfectly ap- pointed laboratory of Professor Peck, where they were given a hearty welcome. ‘ Well, Pecky old man, how you have changed!” “Oh! ’'mallright. But don’t bump into that concentrated dilution of muriatical nitroglisoriglusis or this part of the city will disappear. That’s the most powerful and the easiest set off ex- plosive known.” ‘Good Heavens! Pecky, don’t you know that I have a weak heart?” ‘‘Gentlemen, I must tell you that I have completed the most wonderful device in the world. I call it the ‘Human Recorder.’ By this machine a man can keep track of his wife, detectives of criminals, and so on.

It was threat- ened by usurpers, who used force to run the government as they pleased, but on account of the two statesmen from the realms of the faculty, Mr. Martindill and Mr. Mitchell, the government ran its ship of state through the dangers, because of the policy of watchful waiting adopted by the above statesmen. The representatives of the government numbered fifty-two able members, who came from the various parts of this county. There was a State of unrest many times, especially when one of the presi- dents was forced to resign. Then many sleepless nights were spent by the hot-blooded Mexicans, as well as by the high officials, who stepped into control until a new president was elected and duly inaugurated. The house, during this time of unsettled matters, had a few moments to discuss the following questions: Resolved, that immi- gration should be restricted; that the army and navy should be in- creased; that Italy should remain neutral; and that the United States should give the Philippines their independence. The de- bates were delivered with such fiery eloquence, that an adjourn- ment had to be made several times, because of the speakers mak- ing it too hot. Then, the members usually took a shower bath. The president had to be guarded by secret agents and by a body guard, to keep him from falling into the hands of the excited people. =45— DEBATING CLUB After all this trouble a new dawn of peace has appeared on the horizon and this little republic is now as quiet as can be.

Kutil James Keehan Orchestra The High School Orchestra, although organized a little later than usual, has been a success. It has a membership of about twelve, and is under the direction of Miss Hanson. Although there area large number of pupils in the school who play instru- ments, only twelve have come to practice. The Boston Symphony Orchestra is the only competitor in the line of Grand Opera and high class music. Those who probably appreciate the music every Wednesday evening after school are those who stay in the tardy room, and listen to the selections that relieve the dull moments of the after school session. The members of the Orchestra have worked diligently, and have appeared at a Parent-teachers’ pro- gram, and at the Lincoln-Washington program, given at the Orpheum. They hope to have the chance of playing more in pub- lic for then there seems to be a certain goal to work for. The officers of the organization are: President - - - Harlan Groffman Vice-President - - - Vlasta Slivansky Sec, and Treasurer - - Orville Westgor There is always something to do,—improve old pieces, and learn new ones,—-so there is never a chance to remainidle. The Orchestra has played successfully at a number of public programs. Harlan Groffman. or VULSHHOUO TOOHOS HOIH oe EES MAR i le Girls’ Glee Club The Girls’ Glee Club under the direction of Miss Hanson is composed of thirty-five members. The club asa whole has been doing very good work this season, and the members have taken a great deal ofinterest in their work in order to make it a success. Probably this is partly because they are now receiving credit for their work, which was not the case in former years. Besides the regular work, the club has taken part in a Christ- mas program given by the members of the high school, and has appeared at programs given by the Parent-Teachers’ Association. The officers of the organization are: President - - - Marguerite Hussey Vice-President - - Margaret Hefferman Treasurer - - - Caroline Vollendorf Marguerite Hussey. The Literary Society The Literary Society is composed of all the members of the high school except those who are members of the Debating Club or of the Manitou Staff. Itis the largest of the organizations and is divided into two parts. The first division is made up of Fresh- men and Sophomores, and the second division consists of the Juni- ors and Seniors. Each division holds a meeting once a month, when a prograin is given by some of its members. The programs consist of readings, vocal and instrumental music, and topics of current interest. The organization is different from the others in that it has no officers of itsown. Some of the members of the faculty are pres- ent each time and Mr. Stangel has charge of the society. Agnes Miller. —44— GOTO AALS STULL = Ls The Manitou Staff The Manitou Staff began its enthusiastic meetings the third week in September. At the first meeting, the old and the new mem- bers came together to become acquainted with one another, and to ‘‘cuss” and discuss the work for the coming year. Each one was assigned to his or her special department, and a new department was organized for the Junior High School, which brought them in- to a closer sense of relationship with the people in the Central High School, and was welcomed with hearty interest. The Manitou made its first appearance in November, and con- tinued to appear regularly each month through April. The preparation for each issue took the combined efforts of the editor and staff, with the kindly assistance of Miss Hubbard, whose generous aid and sympathy helped to make the paper what it was. It was always a great satisfaction to them to survey their finished work and they endeavored ever to make it pleasing to the readers. The aim of the paper was to make it intimately a part of school life and of school ideals. | With this purpose in view, all the de- partments were encouraged to produce the best wit and humor of school life and everything associated with it, and each one racked his brain for original ideas to arouse more interest. The Manitou meetings were always pleasant and well attend- ed. The material in the last number was usually criticized and commented upon, and the plans for the next number were dis- cussed. New cuts for each number kept the artists busy. One very pleasing feature of the meeting to the busy editor, was the willing assistance of the staff in reading and correcting proofs, which “ap pened to be on hand at some of the meetings. Contri- butions from other students, besides those on the staff, were sought for and gladly welcomed, and it was almost with regret that the last work for the year was finished.

It seems to be a conspiracy on the part of our elders with our ‘‘good” asits object. It is not always exactly pleasant to have your par- ents and teachers meet once a month, and many of the pupils man- age to be away from home when their parents arrive there after the meeting. However, although the students do not entirely approve of the organization, others seem to find ita great success. Its pur- pose is to study the welfare of the child in home, school and com- munity, and to create a mutual understanding between parents and teachers. Any one interested in this object is qualified for mem- bership. At each meeting a program is given, in which, of course, we are all eager to take part. Itissuchfun to perform before your parents and teachers. Perhaps we shall never again have such an appreciative audience. The Latin and German students assisted in some of the programs, and at one meeting the Advanced Sewing class gave a dress parade, where they appeared in dresses of their own making. Mr. Zimmers, Judge Chloupek and Dr. Falge gave addresses. The officers who were elected at the first meeting, are: President - - Mrs. Robert Markham Vice President - - Mrs. John Johnson Secretary - - - Miss Emma Glasier The organization gives promise of much helpful work in the future. As weseem to be no worse off for these meetings, our confidence in their possibilities for good has been in some degree restored.

Four years in the school of experience have taught us a few things, but they are valueless except to the ones who received the instruction. So our message to you is—be of good cheer—this commencement is your introduction to the school of experience, the place of ‘‘things as they are.” Class of 1911. Per Gladys Crocker. The class of 1912 was and is of, course, according to the unani- mous opinion of its members, the only class that did things. Al- though some people may question the things we did and declare that they were not in full sympathy with the rules and regulations, yet I feel that the results obtained are of more benefit to us than if we had all been ‘‘book worms’’ and secured a 95% standing in our studies and a 10% standing in how to handle ourselves in our future lives. Probably I could do no better here in this article than to give some suggestions to all future students of the M. H. S. The ma- jority of students after leaving high school are immediately thrown upon their own resources to make a livelihood; therefore the high school ought to give important attention to this class of pupils. What is needed in the business world is arithmetic, spelling, grammar, punctuation, penmanship, advertising, and how to keep asimple set of books. I fully realize that such a course is to be had in the M. H. S., if oneso chooses, but I advocate its compul- sion for the reason, and I am voicing the opinions of a majority of the boys, that during his high school life a person does not recog- nize the responsibilities of the future but chooses subjects with no discretion, just so that he may obtain his credits and his diploma at the end. After we graduate and get into business and realize our short-comings, it is too late. Therefore my advice to all my fellow-students in the old M. H. S. who intend to enter the business world without a higher educa- tion, is to take the Commercial Course regardless of what the other courses may offer, for you never can tell how soon you will need it, and when you do need it you are so much to the good if you have it at your command. Frank Chloupek, 12. —52— Ea What are you going to do after you are graduated this year? Now is the time to decide if you have not determined your course. Fix some goal for yourself and then begin the race toward it. Do not waste your time in aimless wanderings. If you have some definite purpose you will know how to act in case two paths lie be- fore you. More failures in life come from aimless work than from any other one cause. A man without a purpose is like a ship with- out a rudder; he is carried this way and that by the various currents; he has to stand the buffeting of the sea in a storm instead of head- ing into it; he is a menace when he crosses another’s path; nobody knows where he will end his journey. Get a rudder. William Stericker, ’13. Looking backward upon our high school days, we may assume that they form a rung of the ladder of life. It may bea ladder leading to social advance, fame, success in intellectual, industrial or financial realms. Or, on the other hand, it may lead to a des-' tiny not so conspicuous in life, but one equally useful and inspira- tional. Without a doubt, this rung is one of the most important. It comes during a period of life when we must stop and deliberate, or if you please, become properly balanced—find ourselves. Thus far, we have drifted along on some kindly current that has deposited us on the threshold of the high school. We have been living as directed by others; now we find that each individual has a separate course to pursue, a special life to live. When freshmen, we have a vague and altogether remote idea of this. But, during the succeeding years, this idea becomes less vague, less remote, until, when we.are seniors, it has developeda form—the form of a question—What course to pursue? But that is a theme in itself. Since we must stop upon this rung for four years while we are gaining new knowledge, new ideas, new characteristics and achieve- ments, it must therefore be strong. Because it is strong, it is im- portant. Without this rung we cannot advance to the greater things beyond. We are forced to content ourselves with the lesser. Thus, since by means of this rung alone we can advance, it becomes a necessity. Because it is a necessity, it is important. Thus the ladder of life is incomplete without this strong, necessary, and important rung; and we who finish high school have at least one strong rung in our ladder. Edith Rechcygl, ’14. —d3— To The Younger Generation We have taught you bridle and saddle; We have given you room to run; Your steeds are bred Of a hope high-fed That of our fathers won. To us there are still the stirrups Of days that we have known, But soon you will ride, Side by our side, Bidding us hold our own. The reins of the world you will grapple Out of our curbing hands. You will change our goal, And Time, as a foal, Will guide with new commands. For so we did in our season, ® And so your sons shall do, Wherefore we pray, As you break away, But this: ride Vision-true. Mount then a reproachless saddle, We have given you room to run; Your steeds are bred Of a hope high-fed; So see, ere the race be done, That you yield the reins to your children More near the final goal. And if we cry As you pass us by, Heed not—but achieve the Whole. Cale Young Rice. —h4— RQ THLETICS j Athletics play an important part in the school work of today. The object is not only to represent the school in the various games and contests, but to develop the bodies and minds of those who take part. Such schools as have a gymnasium, have valued the im- portance of exercise to such an extent, as to place it on the list of required studies. Since a gymnasium offers such a large variety of athletics, every student ought to become interested and apply his time to specialize in some form of exercise. Upto the present time, athletics have been greatly handicapped in our High School, owing to the fact that we lack a gymnasium. As it now is, the few that are interested in gymnastics, can only take part in basebail, football, basketball and track work, while on the other hand, if we had a gymnasium, a greater variety of ex- ercises would be opened to the students, a larger number would benefit by them, and asa result, more efficient teams would repre- sent our High School in every event. Not only the larger institu- tions of this State have added gymnastics to their required studies, but many high schools as well have adopted this system, and let us hope that the time will soon come whena gymnasium will form a part of our High School, and physical training a part of our High School course. —dd— Foot Ball Foot ballin the year 1914 was not as successful as it might have been. This was due to the fact that the team, with a few exceptions, was composed of an entirely new line up. In addition to this, a number of boys, who would have strengthened the team considerably, were obliged to cease playing because of parental objections. Glenn Johnson, who was elected manager of the team, arranged games with the following High Schools: Appleton, Ke- waunee, Sheboygan Falls and East Green Bay. Mr. Rumsey was appointed faculty manager, while Ed. Zankle was chosen captain of the team. Left End, Zankle Right End, Gresholdt Left Tackle, Krainik Quarter-back, Markham Left Guard, Mrotek Left Half-back, Johnson Centre, Jirikowic Right Half-back, Clark Right Guard, Hansen Right Half-back, Frick Right Tackle, Murphy Full-back, Mohr Substitutes: Nash Vits Peck ° Woida Swetlik Rouiller Although the team was light, it worked hard in each contest and thereby exhibited some fine team work and individual playing. The team is proud of the fact that of the following schedule it won all but four games, and tied one: October 3 At Appleton M. H.S.0 Appleton 53 October 10 At Kewaunee M. H. S.6 Kewaunee 31 October 17 At Manitowoc M. H.S. 7 Kewaunee 7 October 31 At Sheboygan Falls M. H.S.6 Sheboygan Falls 14 November 14 At Manitowoc M.H. 5.0 East Green Bay 59 Asecond team: was also organized and deserves great credit for the school spirit that it has shown while giving the first team practice. The members were Wills, Herbst, A. Vits, Nielsen, R. Markham, Hy. Vits, Wilda, Keene, McCabe and Kretche. Roy Murphy is to be Captain of the 1915 team, and prospects are much brighter because many members of this year’s team will attend school next year. —56— WVAL TIA V LOO Basket Ball In 1915, our M. H. S. Was sure it had a team, A team that fought with great success Its records to redeem. The members, who were big and tall, Were sure to win each game. Their passing to control the ball, Was every player's aim. With Billy Just within the hall The big game looked quite well; For when he jumped, he’d tap the ball Just where the signals tell. Our forward, Zankle, played so well, He gracefully did play. He gave the signals to compel The points to come our way. With Kellner too the points did come, Each basket counting two. A sudden jump, and then a run, He’d make his man pursue, Then praise must go to the fat boy, Who played with all his might. The men to Schubert seemed mere toys, They vanished out of sight. Noble and Krainik were our guards On whom we all relied. Many times they saved the day, Their work our foes decried. Were one disabled in the game The man to take the place, Was Mohr or Johnson, both well trained Who stood the test with grace. —d8— WVOL TIVaA LAMSVA As in previous years, our school was represented by a strong basket ball team. Practice was started immediately after the close of the foot ball season. Many contestants were out for the various positions, and for this reason it was hard to pick the team. Finally, after two weeks of practice, the players were decided upon, and on December the eighteenth, they traveled to Appleton to open the season with that High School. The boys were defeated, however, by a large score, but upon considering the ‘‘odds” to which they were subjected, we find they put up a good game. The next three games, which were with Brillion, Plymouth, and Two Rivers, were played on the home floor. The ‘'M’s” were victorious in each of these and showed an improvement from game to game. This series was continued when the team went to Ply- mouth and easily defeated that High School on its own floor. The team closed its season with a defeat at the hands of Two Rivers. This proved to be the hardest and best game of the season. The first half ended with Two Rivers in the lead by a score of 4 to 8. In the second half, our boys gained two points on their oppon- ents, the final score being 14 to 16. A large crowd accompanied the team to witness the game between the ancient rivals, and al- though our boys were defeated, they were well satisfied with the showing they made, THE LINEUP Center, Wm.

Many schools have prefer- red track work to baseball, and as aresu:t it is quite hard to schedule outside baseball games. The boys, who no doubt would be able to turn out a winning team, are therefore obliged to apply themselves to track work. A large number of candidates are at training and it is expected that some of the previous high school records will be broken. Henry Noble. A Prayer in Spring Sighing iu mournful melody, Tossing in stormy wails, Winds of the Spring, of mystery, Filling and swelling sails, Tell me the secret of youthfulness, Sing me the song of Success; Blow, oh blow, and help me live, A life that the ages will bless! Budding on barren branches, Op’ning ’neath wintry skies, Flower of the Spring, of mystery, A soul that never dies, Breathe me the tale of usefulness, Fragrant and fresh and sublime; Bloom, oh bloom, and help me do A work to die only with time! Myrtle Brandt. —61— The Little Captain At six o’clock on Saturday morning an alarm clock went off under little Bobbie Carter’s pillow. Now, it was most unusual with him for an alarm to be going off so early ona Saturday morn- ing, when small boys are especially privileged to stay in bed. But there was a reason on this particular morning, and after blinking sleepily for a few minutes, Bobbie jumped out of bed. His toilet was not exactly thorough, for he never even noticed that his lefc stocking was on inside out, and, in washing, his ears received ‘‘a lick and a promise.” ‘lhe cause of all this haste was something his mother had said to him the day before. ‘‘Robert,” she had said, “‘you’re getting to be a great big boy, © aren't you? Why, you're almost ten years old! Do you know, I was thinking about giving away some of your toys. The Salvation army man is coming around to-morrow and I thought you would like to give him some. You would, son, wouldn’t you?” ‘Yes, mother,” replied Bobbie, pleased that his mother recog- nized the fact that he was growing up. “‘T was wondering,” his mother continued, “how it would be if you gave away your old boat and your soldiers.” ‘Ob, mother, not my little lead soldiers! Why they’re ——— oh, I just couldn’t give them away.”’ “But, son, they’re so old now. You know the paint is all off them.” The little fellow left the room at this point in the conversa- tion, for he really had to wipe his eyes and he wouldn’t have had his mother see him for worlds, not after what she had said about his beingso big. And Mrs. Carter thought no more about the incident. That night a certain little fellow lay awake an unusually long time, pondering upon a weighty question. And the result of his pondering was that he asked his father for the alarm clock, and decided to get up early enough in the morning to have one last play with his soldiers. How could he grow upif he kept all his toys and played baby games, and growing up was the thing he most desired. Accordingly, in the morning, all his lead soldiers were set up with care, and particular attention was given to the captain, the little captain whom he loved better than any of the others. The tents were arranged, and the cannon, and even the prison which he had made himself. It was anold box, which he had painted gray, and in which he had cut a door and tiny windows. All his soldiers except the captain had been in prison at one time or an- other, some for neglect of duty, and some for disobedience. But —62— he!never!had been'able [to make up his mind to put the little cap- tain there, for the captain stood so erect and looked so alert and fearless, that Bobbie knew he would never be remiss in his atten- tion to duty. | When Bobbie looked at him, he always involunta- rily straightened up himself. This morning they had first a regular drill. ‘‘Forward march— right wheel—halt!” As he grew more excited, Bobbie forgot that it was the last time. There wasa charge upon the enemy and three of the men were badly wounded. Then something went wrong with one of the cannon, and great was the excitement un- til it was discovered what was the matter; a thread from mother's sewing had wound around the spring. The time flew too fast. “Oh, mother, it can't be so late. Do I really have to wrap them up nuw? The man won’t be here yet.” Eventhe shoulders of the gallant little captain seemed to droop when the parting came. Every other soldier was put away first, and as Bobbie sat gazing at his little captain he believed that he actually looked downcast, a most unusual thing for his captain. “Good-bye, little captain. Will you fight just as bravely when you are away from me? Oh, I know you will; you’d fight bravely anywhere, Captain!” The tears were flowing but Bobbie soon managed to stop them, for a big boy must not cry. As for the little captain, he shed some tears too, only they were so tiny that Bobbie could not see them. The captain loved his manly little boy with all his gallant heart. The Salvation Army man came and took the soldiers away. After a while they were given to another little boy who was cross to them and flung them about. “Do you remember our boy?” the captain often asked his men. ““Our boy wasn’t a bully like this one; he was the pluckiest little chap in the world. He’ll make a fine soldier some day.”’ The new boy soon grew tired of them and the lead soldiers at last found themselves inthe dump heap. They finally became scattered and the captain, away from his men, wished many times a day that he could find his boy again, One day he was taken away from the dump heap, and the first thing he knew, he was putinto a very hot fireand melted. The gallant captain did not complain but bore the heat very bravely. He came out all safely, but he felt somehow, very different. ‘‘What sort of a thing do you suppose I am now?” he question- edhimself. ‘‘Do you suppose I can look like these other hard little lumps? Why, I believe Ido! Now what do you think we can be good for?”’ —63— The little captain in his new form was placed ina package, where he was crowded in with others just like him. ‘‘Well say, this feels like a prison. What do you suppose I am in prison for? My boy never put me in prison’’ In that prison he and his companions lay for twelve long years and were moved about to different lands, but the gallant little captain never lost his courage. Then one day they were taken to a place where there was a great deal of noise and confusion. “‘T declare, it sounds like our battles, only much bigger, the battles where my boy commanded. I wonder where he is now. He’d make a brave soldier, that he would!” Just then the package was opened, but in the sudden light the captain could not see clearly. He was thrust hard into something, and all at once he was flying swiftly through the air. “It’s a real battle!’ he exclaimed. ‘‘Look at those men re- treating.” Then sudden realization burst upon him. ‘“‘I’m a bullet sent out to kill someone! Horrible! This is different from fighting with a sword, as I have always done.” From the retreating linea young man ina captain’s uniform rode forward with a few companions following him. “My boy!” exclaimed the little captain joyfully. ‘‘He wouldn't retreat. I knew he would be a brave soldier.” Then he realized that he was going straight toward his boy, and grew dizzy and sick as he realized what awful work he might do. The next second of time seemed endless. The boy captain gave acry which only half escaped from his lips, But the little captain’s worst anticipations were not realized. He had lodged in the boy’s shoulder. The boy was carried to the hospital and there he remained for a long time while his wound was healing. The little captain re- joiced when he heard the surgeon say one day, ‘‘He won't need to go back again.” And he always liked to feelthat by wounding his boy he had perhaps been the means of saving his life.

P. y —66— Class Will Inasmuch as we, the undersigned, will undoubtedly spend no no more time in this beloved school, it is proper that we should leave a will. Therefore this document, Whereby we bequeath to our underclassmen certain rights and privileges:— First, to the Juniors, our places of repose in the first floor as- semblies; the right to wear a dignified look, becoming to Seniors; also our indisputable superiority as athletes,—this last on condition that they discharge faithfully their duty of tutelage over the next yearlings. Second, to the Sophomores, the iron lockers, as a place of stabulation for misbehaving Freshies. However, this right is in- valid if the Sophs neglect to pass occasionally a hortatory remark to discouraged Freshmen. Third, to all the scholars of M. H. S., our ability to make the teachers think we know something by simply expressing our ideas by circumlocution; also of suddenly contracting severe cases of odontalgia, commonly known as toothache, or the like, when a va- cation seems desirable; moreover, as the underclassmen are not yet up in the ways of the world, we bequeath to them our great love for che intelligentiaries of this institution, said love and the exhibition therefore being necessary and, as yet, infallible when in fora low mark. Lastly, we feel it our duty to leave some useful advice, which is:— First, Do not make much use of the halls for parapetetic pur- poses, as this is extremely hard on the report cards. Second, Sophomores should not make too much of the viride- scence of the Freshmen, for they will thereby become subject to flagellation by the protective Juniors. Third, Do not become supercilious over what you are now re- ceiving or we shall feel it our duty to make null and void the afore- mentioned favors. This advice we leave, though we are aware of the fact that we, the Seniors of 1915, are the only class ever aggregated that poss- essed the necessary ability to live upto and do honor to the fore- going rules, rights and privileges. Thatis idiosincratically speaking, of course. Whereas, we, the undersigned, do hereby appoint, on this thirteenth day of April, 1915, as executor of this document, our worthy principal, Mr. C. G. Stangel. Signed, Seniors of M. H. S., 1915. per Jack Markham. —67— To A Senior Hail to thee, blithe spirit! Studious,—thou needst not grin,— That from Kretche’s or near it Long on the way hath been, And then in the tardy room hath paid well for thy sin. Higher still, and higher Doth thy ambition rise, Like a cloud of fire It mounts up to the skies, And always for a goal has a place among the wise. In the golden lightning © Of our high school days, O’er which stars are brightening We part now on our ways, And each to gain renown, does mold his own life’s clays. —68— The pale purple ribbon Enwoven, with the white, Like a cloud of Heaven Fades in our onward flight, Oh! know you all, that now we start our earthly fight. With apologies to Percy B. Shelley. Orval Breuer. CAN YOU IMAGINE Mr. Bleyer looking dignified? Norman Schubert walking the tight rope? The Freshmen doing anything except providing amusement? Mr. Stangel fox-trotting at the Prom? Hugo Stoltenberg racing in a Ford? Aletta Gerpheide more than three feet away from the mirror in the cloak room? Erwin Strodthoff having the mumps? Fritz Zander explaining in less than two hours how an electric motor is run? The Senior class without Miss Hubbard? Frederic Braxmeier with the rosiness gone from his cheeks? Walter Clark in overalls? Mr. Rumsey in knee trousers? Jennie Wilhelmy not ready to argue the point? George Alter raising a mustache? Amanda Scholten or Glenn Johnson walking home alone? Jack Markham when he isn’t “‘broke’’? Anita Dover not copying chemistry notes? Benjamin Wernecke as a dancing master? Pat McCauley without an answer? Viola Miller with a fractured jaw, so she couldn’t talk, or jolly the teachers? Fred Braxmeier forgetting his silk (?) gloves? Bertha Plantico under a pledge of silence? Louis Pankratz not trying to stir up trouble? Alfred Nelson driving his auto around acorner on more than two wheels? Myrtle Brandt not studying? Al Cavanaugh in a sarcastic mood? Eleanor Jagodinsky getting fussed by Mr. Hotchkin? Ted Schulte telling a joke without laughing at it himself? Meeting the Annual editor without being asked to contribute? Pat McCauley talking German? Getting 100% in anything for a month? A new high school building? 69 BACHELORS’ CLUB This organization is quite recent. Its avowed purpose is ‘‘to keep the ladies from pestering a man to death.” The officers are: President - - - - Edgar Miller Vice-president - - Benjamin Wernecke Secretary and Treasurer - - Fritz Zander Critic - - - - Hugo Stoltenberg Chaplain - - - Edmund Hoeppner Other charter members are George Hogenson, Edward Kolen- sky and Clarence Kutil. Glenn Johnson and Edgar Anderson originally were members, but were impeached for good reasons. A program given April first was as follows: The Faults of Women - Hugo Stoltenberg Song—Woman is Fickle - - Members Debate—Resolved that one can live more economical- ly than two, also more happily. SHARPS AND FLATS ’Twas on a Monday morning, Geometry Teacher—‘‘ What about K M?” (meaning a line.) Pupil at Board—‘‘This is her day off.” Mr. M.—‘‘How is this building heated?” Student —‘‘Hot air.” Mr. M.—“‘Yes, mostly hot air; and how about the ventilation?” Student—‘‘Unspeakable.” From a Senior theme: ‘He moved to the city, where he became addicted to the use of the aforementioned. Later, his wife died, a fact which he sad- ly lamented, for his sisters now came to live with him.” Our dear friend, Wentworth, hands us this useless bit of in- formation: ‘‘The ordinate of any point of a parabola is the mean proportional between the latus rectum and the abscissa, whereas, on the contrary, every point within the parabola is nearer to the focus than to the diretrix, and this has nothing to do with the asymptotes of an hyperbola.’’ And then they wonder why stu- dents play truant. Oh, yes! Wordsworth certainly had great forethought, but even he was slightly short-sighted sometimes.. He could foresee the time when custom should decree that the girl who wore her hair high on her head in play should be obliged to wear it there for good; but he failed to see the time when custom should decree that she leave it on the bureau over night. 0 EAL SPORT OF HIGH-SCHOOL LIFE - THE DAYS OF R OR MOTIONLESS PICTURES INFORMATION FROM THE FRONT GET AN INCUBATOR AND HATCH YER Rumor has it that Frederic is toattend a seminary. He’s such _a favorite with the ladies. A wise Freshman was dispatched to the office to get a copy of A foot and Afloat. When he reached the office he asked Mr. Stangel, ‘‘May I have the book Afloat on One Foot’? CONSERVATION OF ENERGY. Teacher—‘‘Write a short theme on base-ball,” The next day the following theme was handed in: “Rain, no game.’’ Mr. Bleyer—‘‘I remember once when I was small.” OH! DOT MOOSIC! A young lad sat in an assembly seat, Keeping accurate time with his feet To a little Deutsch band out in the street. A teacher saw him all too soon, And he beat it to the office in step with that tune. OH! THOSE MOTHERS-IN-LAW He—‘‘Will you marry me, dearest?” She—“‘If I marry you, will you build a little cottage near by so mother can slip over once in a while?” He—‘‘Certainly.” She—‘‘Where will you build it?” 'He—‘‘Right on the edge of a cliff!” While in his Janior year in High School, Hugo Stoltenberg was taken to a circus for the first time. He was looking around the menagerie and finally stopped before a giraffe, After having stood there speechless for five minutes, he was heard to mutter, ‘‘Oh, shucks! there ain’t no sech animal!” While translating in German— “They picked flowers with tapering fingers.” We wonder what kind she meant. We are very much worried over the fact that some one poison- ed Erwin Rusboldt’s Ford the other day. One of those cold, gloomy February days, Erwin stopped some place with his large Ford. He endeavored to get a robe out of the back seat, which he intended to put over the hood, so as to keep the engine from freezing. ‘‘A ‘‘Newsie’’ stepped up and said, “‘Never mind covering it, I seez what you got there.” “Sketch the fall of Napoleon!” “Oh, I can’t draw!” —T2— FROM A FRESHMAN THEME? WHY OF COURSE! ““‘Wen Silas he seen them golden hair he thot them was his little sisters. Wen he seen it was a new little girl he said, I ain’t going to let her here no I ain't.” “One Saturday us boys we wend huntin’. We was goin’ rabbit huntin’. We took along with three dogs. Two of them dogs they was hounds and that other dog he wasn’t no hound at all.” What Miss Hubbard says to the English class—‘‘I would the gods had made thee poetical.” When we had our pictures taken, the photographer, after an hour's lost labor, finally referred the Annual Staff to a moving pic- ture company. ONE POMB Lives of great men all remind us That old Failure is a wreck; So let us all be up and at him, And leave our footprints on his neck. Respectfully submitted, P. L. Mc Cauley. He who skips (school of course) and gets away Will try to skip another day. (With apologies to Goldsmith). A MELODIOUS MEDLEY () The sun is slowly setting in the sink, The teachers homeward plod their weary way, And [ am left in solitude to think— The tardy room has claimed me for its prey.

I wish to make a declamation In reference to education, For after each day’s assimilation I cannot pass the examination. Great is our teachers’ exaltation In our Parent-teachers’ Association; And we feel a high appreciation Of Mr. Stangel’s administration. What e’er may be our destination, We have the pleasing consolation Of living in high estimation And earning all your commendation. Al Cavanaugh. Voltaire says ‘Speech was given to man to conceal his thoughts.” We wonder what it was given to C. M. H. for. Several High School students (we’re mentioning no names) should remember that “the wind does a lot of blowing, but never gets anywhere.” ‘‘What is a definition of ‘celerity’?” “What we put down our books with when the bell rings.” POLITICS ‘‘Well, Leo, what are you going to run for next year?” Leo Meyer—‘‘To keep away from the Debating Club.’’ OUCH! W. R.—‘‘Last night I dreamed my watch was gone and I got up to see.” E. R.—‘‘Was it gone?” W. R.—“‘No; it was just going.” Too many Freshies have lost their way to school through our school yard forest—therefore, this awful slaughter of trees. The only good words ever written by Shakespeare are those on the chemistry Jab.—‘‘Therankest compound of villainous smell that ever offended nostril.” “To be naturalized a person must have sided in this country for some years in a hostile way.” —T4— Little Jack Horner, Sat in a corner, Studying geometrical (pi) He stuck in his thumb And pulled out some gum, Saying, ‘‘What a good student am I!” MY KINGDOM FOR A TACK Miss H.—‘‘Give the principal parts of the verb, attack.” B. W.—“‘A tack, a tack, a tack.” Henry Noble came to school one day with his hand in a bandage. ‘“What’s the matter, Henry?” he was asked. “TI stepped on a nail.”’ Miss K,—‘‘Tell us some more about the old European kings.” H. S.—“‘One of them was so tyrranical that he wouldn’t even let a man get buried unless he asked him.” A fine Packard car and its owner were coming along a country road when the owner saw something in a distant tree. As he drew nearer, he saw a man standing below and noticed that the object in the tree was a Ford. He asked the man what was the matter. “Oh, Iwas cranking the blinkety-blank thing and it slipped out of my hand.” A FOREST DAY Early one morning a sunbeam bright Slipped from his bed on a ray of light, And entered a gloomy earth forest. The mossy ground was damp and soft, Trees gently held their new leaves aloft, And birds were arranging a chorus. Expectancy hung in the silent air, Breezes were wafting sweet fragrance there, Just swaying the delicate flowers. The sunbeam slipped o’er mosses green, Lighting the place with a golden sheen, The cloak of the rare golden hours. The birdling chorus sang all day, Paving, with notes, the sumbeam’s way; Through shadowy aisles of the forest. The leaflets swayed on branches above; The breeze caressed them all in its love; While flowers helped swell the glad chorus. Myrtle Brandt. —5b— HOW TO MAKE KNEIPP MALT Better than Coffee ™ BETTER THAN COME yy Pour one (1) quart of BOILING water over three (3) tablespoonfuls of GROUND Kneipp Malt. Let it boil up well just once, no oftener. Stir with a spoon and set it aside where the stove is not so hot, or on a very low ga sflame where it will steep, NOT boil, from three to four minutes, no longer. Remove fluid from the groundsand serve hot with cream or boiled or condensed milk. If convenient use a Per- colator which separates the coffee grounds from the liquid. DON’T boil Kneipp Malt longer than one minute as it spoils its flavor and darkens the color. Kneipp Malt when property made has arich,amber color, not black. DON’T let Kneipp Malt stand with grounds in lounger than four minutes. Kneipp Malt has the health-giving and body building qualities of Malt Extract, and is easily assimilated and digested by even the weakest stomach. Manufactured by Kneipp Malt F ood Co.

Its growth, ’though not rapid, has been a steadily increasing advance- ment, until today it stands at the head of all similar establishments ot its kind in any city of equal size as Manitowoc in the entire State. It is our firm purpose to conduct this business in the future on the same general principles as were followed in the past, which were endors- ed so heartily and substantially by our fellow citizens and patrons of this section of the State. Not a stone will be left unturned which may appear to cover something that might be utilized in the continued upbuilding of this business—unequalled assortment of goods, average low prices,—the same to everybody— efficient and satisfactory service. Our endeavors to make this a first class depart- ment store for this City and surrounding territory, met with the success it attained because of the splendid co-operation of our patrons with our unceasing efforts in that direction. But there’s room for improvement always, and with the continued aid of our patrons we feel confident of an increase in business in 1915, that will at least equal the added Sales of 1914, and that’s all we ask.
