There are Seniors in plenty, So sage and so tall; There are Juniors and Sophomores, Some big and some small; But the best of the lot, Within this old wall, Are the cute little freshmen— The greenest of all. 12 ITOgHPlEN One morning in September, Of a bright and sunny day, The school doors opened to admit, A band of freshmen gay. They came and took possession. Of a hundred seats or more. And quickly settled down to work, In search of new book-lore. Though taunted by the Sophomores, And ways were strange and new, They never faltered, but kept on, And studied hard and true. And now the time approaches, When they’ll leave the first year class, And in their turn will laugh and jeer, At tin entering freshman mass. Then in a few more years to come, They’ll stand before the rest, And every one will speak of them, As the class that was the best. And wherever they may wander, Thro’ countries bad or fine, They all will fondly think of Their class of Nineteen-Nine! 13 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS. For Whole Year. Preside ni—Louis Halbach.

Tn the fall of 1904 a host of first-year pupils came to the Madison High School. They were of gigantic mental proportions, and from their proud height they looked upon the Sophomores with undisguised scorn. Some one has said that they were the best looking, and also the brightest of any class that ever entered the venerable old building. During this year of torment they were separated, some were seated in the new main room and others in the old main room. The next September beheld this same class marching in at the old weather beaten door, but no longer as freshmen. They were now alert second-year pupils, who looked upon the underclassmen with amusement. After a few weeks came the all important task of class organization. This occupied the first three weeks of the school year. Never before had the crumbling structure seen such a show of politics as at the election of class president. This dignity was bestowed upon Louis llalbaeh, who was now considered by all to be an eminent politician. A committee was then appointed to select a class pin. and after a few weeks the work of art was ordered, which pleased all. This seemed to complete the work of the officers, as there has not been another meeting since. From that time on everything has passed smoothly except for tho suspension of a member for a few days, and thus ends the history of the class of 1908. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS. For Whole Year.

It had a cause. On the famous day upon which we arrived, Mr. Hutchison overlooked the singing of America. This fact has marked our actions from September, nineteen hundred and three, until this writing. In the annual which appeared at the end of our first year, everyone noticed the absence of any history of our class. This was not due to the lack of material, hut to the lack of space. Since then, other Tychoherahns have been published, and hence opportunity offered for displaying our remarkable precocity. Our freshman year was uneventful, except for the first public appearance of Elmer S. Lurch on Arbor Day, 1904. Since then he has distinguished himself by seeking knowledge at the history shelf. We organized in the fall of 1905 with Caroline Adams as our president. who successfully led us through the Valley of the Shadow of I he chair for the last two terms. The pin which we selected in tin early fall was a proof of our physical, mental, moral and artistic qualities. During Mr. Doll’s presidency a continual rough house was kept up. We are greatly indebted to Moulton for instructing us in tin way we should go. At the beginning of the third year. Charles Moritz was chosen president, who successfully led us through the Valley of the Shadow of Flunks as far as we have gone in our career. It is due to his noble eloquence that many of us stand to-day where we do. We boast highly of the president and his committee on the From which was so successful. We stand now at the end of our third year of toil, ever illustrating our motto, “Labor conquers all.” 17 JUNIOR PARTY. Friday, April 20, 1900. Arraxgkment Committee. Copeland Harvey, Chairman.

Experience, though expensive, is a good teacher, and it is for the benefit of the little green freshmen that we here chronicle the events in the history of the class of 1906. It is sufficient to say for our first year that we existed,—maybe wise upper classmen would have challenged this statement, but nevertheless it is true. We “studiously” prepared our “themes on Thursday” for Mr. Odland, studiously neglected our “Deutsch” for Fraulein O’Conner. and every Friday afternoon we eloquently declaimed over the death of Caesar, or meekly chanted “Little Boy Blue” for Miss Clark. In the latter part of our first year a great calamity occurred—the strike of 1903,—claiming nearly all the members of the class. However. a gentle application of the board of education, guided by the unerring hand'of Mr. II.. soon called off our boycott, and we were good the remaining weeks. In no such obscure manner did our second year slip away. We were now called to the main room; our dream of dreams was at last realized—we were now second-year pupils. With due fitness and gaiety we gave a sophomore party, the last one which this school boasts. We also set up a shining motto to lead us through our career. Many of us were now initiated into the mysteries of the “office.” The vast recesses of this awe-inspiring abode seemed to hold a peculiar fascination for many of our more mischievous classmates, who spent many a half hour behind its closed door in deep conversation with Mr. J. H. H. Never before did any class show such remarkable learning in “biology” under Miss Lee, or in Ancient History. In the third year came our test as scholars which resulted in an overwhelming victory. We broke down the impregnable fortresses of Physics and English History, and even Mr. Hutchison declared that our progress could not be stopped. There was such a sudden decrease in the number of “flunk cards” issued that both Mr. Morton and Miss Chynoweth complained of the lack of work, while in German we gave our literal and free translations with such heroic boldness that even Misses Young and Kleinpell called us “sehr gut.” To celebrate our many victories we planned the greatest social event held for many years. Our “Junior Prom” can be described by the following extract from one of the leading newspapers of this country: “Although the third year party has always been the most notable event in the Madi- 21 son High School social circles, the Prom of the ’06 class outdid all former displays, socially as well as financially. This, however, was not alone the standard of the class.’ We started our last campaign in search of knowledge with confidence and enthusiasm. Although decreased in number, the army was com-I osed of veterans with a determined fighting spirit. But the enemy, deciding to check our material advancement and humiliate our pride, had erected many defenses. We met these with a brave heart, and were overwhelmed with joy to find that after a few weeks all but one has succumbed. But alas! our joy soon turned to grief, as after repeated assault this last obstacle remained intact. We did not despair, however, but collecting our forces, we again entered the field of Geometry (the burial place of many a Senior). With renewed energy we again battled with the innumerable points, lines, surfaces, planes and solids. They resisted us. They wavered! They fell! Success was ours! We, the Class of 1906. had grandly lived up to our ideal motto, “Lahore et Honore.” To crown our great rejoicing a successful banquet and commencement ball were held. Now, as the Class of 1906 is preparing to disband. I can, with safety, prophecy that its name and work shall live forever. 22 SENIOR INFORMAL. February 22, 1006. Arrangement Committee.

TANDVIG Uelma Louise Tandvig, of the class of 1906. was horn in Madison March 27, 1889, and died in her native city February 8, 190(5. Her love of home, faithfulness to duty and gentle nature made her respected by both classmates and teachers. As the school year draws to a close and class honors are realized, sincere regret is felt that she is missing. Her youthful sincerity was impressive, her untimely death pathetic. Though she missed the goal of her earthly ambition, she has lifted the veil of the mysterious future where “Faith shineth as a morning star. “ ). though oft depressed and lonely, All our fears are laid aside, If we but remember only Such as she has lived and died!” 4° HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION. The Alumni of tin Madison High Srlmol. feeling the need of an association whereby the ties of friendship might be strengthened and perpetuated, and the interests of the Madison High School might he promoted and furthered, in June, 1000. organized the Madison High School Alumni Association. Though twenty-five years had elapsed since the first class was graduated, enthusiasm was not. lacking, and there has been a steady and substantial growth of membership. How can we better show our true appreciation of what others did for us during our school days, of the young people of our city who are striving to attain a good education as a firm foundation on which to launch upon the world, than by handing ourselves together for a common good. May every graduate become a member of this organization. The meetings of the Association are held annually after commencement, at which time officers for the ensuing year arc elected and all other business which may come before the meeting is transacted. The present officers are Mrs. Edwin F. � ibl s (Carrie French), 75. president: Miss Ena Hetier, '08. vice president: Ellis Abbott, ’04, secretary, and Win. Hollenbeck. ’04. treasurer. Each year in June a banquet is held when old acquaintances are renewed and the many fond recollections of early days recalled. To its membership the Association welcomes every graduate of the Madison High School, who may join at any time by sending his or her name and addivss to the secretary, accompanied by ten cents, the annual dues of the Association. 41 THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL 42 FACTS OF THE STRUGGLE FOR THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL. The new High School building:, which is now assured for the Madison students, has been no exception to the slowness of large projects which are pushed forward. This project took definite form about five years ago. The computation for the selection of the plans and for the appointment of an architect was arranged and carried out over three years ago. On January 9, 1904, the architect was chosen. Bids were received and a provisional contract entered into May 2 last year. The issue of bonds was authorized by the city council on May 12. The petition for the submission of the bond question to the people was filed June 10. Pursuant to this petition the special election was held on July 25, in which the women were permitted to vote, resulting in a majority of 287 in favor of the bond issue. The whole matter was brought into the circuit court through the serving of a summons and complaint on August 21st. praying for a temporary injunction enjoining the mayor and city clerk from executing tho bonds. The case was duly argued, ending with the decision in favor of the bond issue. The case was then appealed to the state supreme court, and on April 17 the decision was handed down legalizing the election. WHAT THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL SHOULD MEAN. Xow that the supreme court has cleared the way for a new high school building, the students are eagerly looking forward to the benefits accruing therefrom. Altogether, there are many advantages arising from a new structure, yet a few of these seem to stand out more prominently than the others. The plans for the new building are well known, and a sketch of the exterior is to be seen in this book. It will be a building of which Madison may well be proud; it will be something to which citizens may proudly point as being indicative of Madison’s progress and enterprise in education. To the teachers it will be an undisguised blessing. There will be sufficient class rooms to enable each teacher to have a separate room, thus avoiding one of the most objeetional features of the present high school. In much the same manner it will also be welcomed by fourth year classes, who for some years past have been excluded from seats in the assembly room. This disadvantage of having to study at home is only fully realized by those unfortunates who have been forced to do so. 43 There is also another class of individuals who will be affected by the erection of a new structure. The present plans arc to open courses in manual training and domestic science. These will surely attract many more boys and girls to the high school. Many who have been lost to the school would have remained had some practical course, as manual training or domestic science, been open to them. These two new courses which will eventually accompany the new high school will greatly widen the scope of the school's influence upon Madison boys and girls. There is. however, still another department of the High School which will he greatly benefited by the new building.—the literary department. By all literary organizations and all persons interested in oratorical work, the completion of the new High School will he eagerly awaited. The two debating societies have found Mr. Otterson’s room entirely inadequate to their needs: the light is poor, and the arrangement of the room has a tendency to hinder good speaking.The Nautilus Club has found Miss McGovern’s room altogether too small for its large membership. Through the foresight of the persons who planned the new high school, these growing needs of the societies will he satisfied. By the reservation of a room especially adapted for all high school organizations, the literary clubs will be greatly helped. At the present time, about six hundred pupils are enrolled in the High School. With all the advantages which a new building will bring, Madison High should take its proper place in the front ranks of the high schools of the state. 44 ATHLETICS. The Old Building and the New. In college circles the cry has gone up that the present system of foot ball and of athletics in general tends to restrict the exercise and the consequent benefits to a few experts. It is claimed that coaches and trainers in general will not spend their time upon inexperienced material; that they do not wish to encumber the locker rooms nor the training grounds with a lot of untried “timber. and that therefore the “weeding-out’ process soon reduces the squads to a nucleus of skilled athletes and a margin of the most promising freshmen. “No time nor room for the greenies,” the coaches say, and thus the man or hoy. who, for lack of a previous opportunity, most stands in need of that physical training which active participation in athletic events alone can give, is relegated to the bleachers. If this is true of the great universities with their many branches of sport, numerous trainers, huge gymnasiums and splendid athletic fields, how much the more must it be true of a high school like our own with its limited round of physical activity; its “aching void” of trainers; mud-hole of a gymnasium—the present locker-room—and its athletic field of a lot-and-a-half of sticky clay and cinders ? How on earth we, in the old days, ever mustered up interest enough in our teams to report night after night to that windowless, floorless cave beneath wliat was then “Miss Oakley’s room,” there to dress in the half-light of a single sickly gas jet, go out to practice and return to bathe in a pail of lukewarm water from John’s furnace is more than I can imagine. It was dirty, crowded, uncomfortable. No wonder we found it hard to entice two full elevens into the field. Xo wonder our track-teams fizzled and our scores in the interscholastic sank from the nineteen or twenty-one of early years, to the little better than goose eggs of the later ones. Although T could not. then, now 1 fully understand the disinclination which so many of the fellows showed to participate in the “training” which we thought it necessary for all candidates for teams to undergo. But that locker-room was not all. Then, as now, our only field was the before-mentioned lot-and-a-half. Hence, during the winter, and on rainy days, all practice was suspended, although once in a while, a few of us were permitted to use the university gymnasium. Under such a system, there could be no regularity in exercise for the majority of the fellows, thus entailing a loss of interest and efficiency which told 15 heavily on our fortunes when the championship games were called. Our poor accomodations made training unpleasant, restricted the size of the squads and narrowed the field of sports. The splendid gymnasium which is to be included in the new high school will most certainly obviate the evils, from an athletic standpoint, so evident in the old building. It will provide a clean, roomy place to dress, good baths, floor-space for in-door teams and rainv-day practices, a running track of twenty-two laps to the mile.—in fact, all the facilities of a flrst-class school of physical culture. The new gymnasium will broaden the field of sports and in every way improve upon conditions past and present. Its facilities ought to make it possible for Madison once more to turn out teams of champions of the state, making the cockles of each graduate’s heart warm with pride. The old gymnasium—that locker-room—will become, let us hope, “hut as an ugly dream’’ with certain pleasant spots interspersed, for those of us who have been there, and as a thing of horror to he imagined but never experienced, for those lucky enough to enter school a few years later than we. ’03. 46 47 4s M.

The Nautilus Club, the jarirIs’ literary society, was organized in 1889 with Ethel Hatch acting as its first president. The aims and purposes of the club are for mutual help and improvement, to increase the knowledge of literature, and to develop critical power. The year 1905-06 has been a most successful one for the Nautilus Club from every view-point. During the fall term Eveline Abbott acted as president. By the vote of the club it was decided that Dickens be studied. Most of its work was in the study of English authors of the eighteenth and nineteenth century. For the winter term Laura Johnson was elected president. This term the work was on more recent authors, Kipling, Field and Riley, and up-to-date topics. One event of importance was a debate, on the question “Resolved that the teachers have a harder time than the pupils ' This was so closely contested that the three teachers, acting as judges, decided unanimously on a tie, and it was during this term also that the Nautilus Club with the aid of the M. 11. S. Literary Society presented the comedy “Tom Cobh.’’ It was under the supervision of Miss Young and Miss Kleinpell. Everyone agreed that it was a complete success, both financially and otherwise. During Frances Durbrow’s presidency the annual banquet was carried out successfully. This period saw the purchase of a number of volumes with the “play” proceeds. It is hoped that the club can boast of a library by the time the new High School is built. 53 Officers of the Nautilus Club Spring Term. President—Eveline Abbott. V cc-president—Helen IIutcliison.

H. S. LITERARY SOCIETY. The Madison High School Literary Society was organized in 1894 with the following charter members: F. Swain, ’94: T. Malec,. ’94; Jesse Kdgren, 94: (� . E. Schilling, ’95: X. S. Curtis, ’95; A. R. Demi, ’95: 4. E. Goodwin, ’95, and W. S. Van Wie, ’95. The purpose of the society is to train its members in Parliamentary debate and literary exercises. Any male student of the High School is eligible for membership upon the recommendation of the executive committee and successful passage of a three month’s trial membership. Meetings of the society are held every Thursday in Mr. Ottarson's room, where a literary program is carried out. The chief number of the program generally consists of a debate upon some current political, economical, or social question. Extemporaneous speeches, essays, declamations and prepared topics form the remainder of the program. The past year has been one of the most successful in the history of the Literary Society. It has seen a radical revision of the constitution and hv-laws: it has seen a new spirit and enthusiasm infused into its members, and it has seen a healthy, yet conservative growth in membership. The most important event of the past year for the Literary Society has been the joint debate with the Pow Wow of the Wisconsin Academy. Although the debate was lost bv the society, it has brought ipany benefits to its members.—benefits which a victory would perhaps not have bestowed. 57 Officers for School Year 1905-06 Fall Term.

The motives for organization were, first, the numbers attending this school made the support of two societies possible and, second, the many benefits derived from rivalry. The society has had a phenomenal growth as it has reached the membership limit within six months of its organization. It is composed of members of all classes; at the present time fourth year and first year pupils are prevalent. It has eleven graduates this year. The members are, in a large measure, boys who, heretofore, took no interest in literary society work. An attempt is made in this society to present an interesting and varied program. Debates, mock trials, legislative sessions, anecdotes, declamations and music secure this object. All members of the society are obliged to appear on debates, and the more talented ones contribute the rest of the program. The meetings of the society are held regularly on Monday evenings in Mr. Otterson « room. One characteristic above all others distinguishes this society, and that is, enthusiasm. The meetings are always well attended and the debates are closely contested. This enthusiasm is not only evident in the meetings of the society, but is also carried in other directions. Forum has four members on the annual board and two of the participants in the class day exercises. It also has a joint debate this year with the Evansville high school. Evansville has a picked team, one member representing his school in the Interscholastic Declamatory contest. Forum makes no boasts and the result, at the publication of this book,’is probably known to all. Evansville's representatives are Winter, Hollister, and Meyers. Forum’s representatives are Paul Porter, 06; Marion J. Atwood, '06. and Kao Hell, '08. The organization of this society and the enthusiasm which it has aroused certainly marks a step in the right direction. It seems that the Madison High School has at last awakened from the lethargy of the past few years and is to take its place on a level with other high schools in forensics. 6i Officers for the School Year 1905-1906 Fall Term.

In spite of the short schedule, the football season of 1905 was a successful one in every way, and one to which every loyal student of the M. II. S. can point with pride. A fighting team in charge of an excellent coach, backed by an enthusiastic student body proved too strong for any of our rivals as scores will show. On October 14 the first game was played, the Sun Prairie team being defeated 80—0. A week later, Lodi came to Madison to take a lesson in football, from Dr. McCarthy’s pupils. The score was 64—0. Janesville was scheduled for the following Saturday, but through some misunderstanding the game was called oil . The excuse given by our opponents was that Janesville had “a better proposition” for that date. Probably “an easier proposition” would have suited the situation better. Darlington came on November 4. and stayed in the city long enough to see Madison score a victory 62—0 in thirty-two minutes of play. The last game was against Baraboo on November 18, and resulted in the most brilliant victory of the season, the score being 85—0. Up in Baraboo, air castles had been built, and probably some of the stocky boys of that city for nights before bad dreamed of a glorious victory already won in the capital city. They came bright and early, bringing plenty of rooters, plenty of ribbon and plenty of confidence. Our boys seemed singularly quiet that morning when going to Camp Randall, hut there was on every face a look of determination which augured ill for Baraboo’s championship aspirations. The game began and those who saw it will remember for many a day the work of our team. That line of blue all the way from ’Jimmy’ Dean to little Ilausmann was as solid as a stone wall and all the efforts of the heavy Baraboo backs netted but two first downs during the entire game. Never for a moment did they threaten to score. When Madison took the ball first and sent Ham-mersly tearing over tackle, the end was already in sight. The way that McCarthy’s machine ran over, around, through, and under the opposing team, brought joy to the hearts of Madison rooters and a strange quietude and dignified solemnity to the supporters of Baraboo. It is impossible to pick the stars of the game and for each individual in the team there can be only praise, since each one did his part and did it well. The game was a fitting close for the season. In one thing, however, the students were disappointed. In Milwaukee there was a team which was highly praised and named as champions long before the season closed. It was the desire of the students of the M. H. S. to see the championship question settled definitely especially 66 since there is no doubt that Madison would have lost nothing in prestige by the contest. Inducements availed nothing, however, and our rival was contented to hold a “newspaper championship” rather than risk a battle. To what must we attribute the success of the 1005 team? First, to the fighting spirit it had—that determination which brings victory over seemingly insurmountable obstacles; secondly, to the enthusiastic, unceasing loyalty of the students of M. II. S. To the men on the team it was an honor to represent a student body which so well appreciated their efforts; to the students it was an honor to support a team so deserving of praise. Finally to Dr. Charles McCarthy, our coach, is due all the honor and respect the student body can pay a man. To his untiring efforts and to his power to instil into the team a manly sportsmanlike spirit as well as a thorough knowledge of football is due the success of the team of 1005. 241—0 tells the story of work well done and to Dr. McCarthy, Capt. Moll, Manager Fisher, to the men who wear the letter, to the substitutes who aided in developing the team, and to the student body whose loyal support made hard work lighter—to all these is credit due for making the year 1905 a successful one. 67 French, Mansell, Worth, Wellman (capt.) Moll, Koch, Dainm. Not present: Feae, Keplinger, Scott, McCrossen, Trainor, Dean. THE TRACK TEAM. Track athletics at the High School seems to have at last awakened from its inactive condition of the past few years. Since the departure of Albert Bagiev, “Par” Regan, and Cecil Schreiber, Madison point winners at the annual interscholastic meet have been scarce. Last year saw something of an improvement, several points being carried away by our High School representatives. Through the kindness of the university authorities in providing quarters for the indoor track squad, the team has been enabled to put in a few month’s of earnest training. At present, the squad is about fourteen in number, but by the time of the class meet in May, this number will be doubled. The Madison High School should make a splendid showing at this year’s field meet, if her athletes receive the enthusiastic support of the student body as given the 1905 football team. 6S ACTS XXXV. I. And it came to pass in that time of the year of one thousand nine hundred five, when football goes forth to battle, that Ed challenged Bara boo’s manager and his men with him. and all the people of Bara-boo to fight a battle, with the Madisonians. Baraboo tarried not, but came with mighty force to Madison. II. And lo, when the sons of Madison beheld those of the enemy which were come against them, they were sore afraid. III. For they had heard of the pride of Baraboo, of her loftiness, her arrogance, and the haughtiness of her heart. IV. But Moll, the captain of the army of Madison, spake unto his men saying, gather ye together and come against her, rise up to the battle; we will make her small among high schools and despised among men. V. And the hearts of the sons of Madison were cheered and they rose in mighty battle against the enemy. VI. And lo. as they bore down upon them, the men of Baraboo fled from before the Madisonians. VII. And the sons of Madison followed hard upon the heels of the Baraboo captain and his men and the battle went sore against the latter. VIII. And when the people of Madison that were on the bleachers saw that the people of Baraboo were sore dismayed and that the captain and his men were nigh unto beaten they foresook their seats and marched with “Cope’s” music around the campus. IX. And Baraboo hated them exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith they hated them was greater than the love wherewith they had loved their men, and Baraboo would say naught unto us. X. And lo, when the men of Baraboo came out from their “quarters” as the second half was begun; they were rested and cheered; and with boldness and defiance they ran toward the army of Madison. XI. And Moll spake unto his men again saying, “I defy the army of Baraboo this day; give ine support that we may fight together. XII. And his men answered after this manner saying: “So shall it be done to the men that play against us.” XIII. And there was war again and we went out and fought with Baraboo and made touchdowns in rapid succession. XIV. And Baraboo sought to smite Madison even at the goal, but she slipped away out of Baraboo’s reach and pushed the ball over the line and Baraboo fled and escaped that noon. 69 XV. And lo, a mighty voice was heard (it was that of Newman) saying, “Run ye to and fro thru the streets proclaiming the victory of your warriors.” XVI. And the girls sent messengers to the men saying, “Bring them up that we may praise them.” XVII. And when the men were come up, behold there was great tumult. XVIII. And borne upon the shoulders of their friends they spake to the crowd saying, “We would not have been able to go ag inst this team, but for the girls who filled us with the spirit of victory.” XIX. And there was shouting and rejoicing and singing till hunger smote us and we departed to our homes. ’( 6 70 McCarthy's dream BANQUET OF THE FOOTBALL TEAM. Last season the High School football team had the most successful season it has had for many years. School spirit reached a point almost equal to those good old days of which alumni speak when the championship teams of ’96 and ’97 were the pride of Wisconsin. The spirit, which was aroused over the Baraboo game, culminated in a banquet to the team by some of the senior girls of the High School. Immediately after the close of the football season certain girls of the Basket Ball Association endeavored to have that organization give a banquet to the football boys. This was checked through the influence of the school authorities. But the girls behind the movement independently got up a banquet, they themselves incurring all the expense and work in connection with it. The banquet was given on November 25, 1905, at College Ilall, about thirty boys of the Athletic Association being present. The affair was a great success—at least anyone seeing Alfred Buser’s smiling face the following morning would have thought so. Praise is due to the girls who showed their loyalty to the football team in this fitting manner. CLIPPINGS FROM SOPHOMORE THEMES. Arrows came quizzing past my head. He was extinguished for virtue. Antony’s catastrophe (apostrophe) to Caesar. The building was in process of instruction. Bryant tells us that one’s life is immoral and we are to have life after death. Edward VII was then placed under a board upon which sat Catholics and Protestants. The Protestants had more weight on the board. Charles VIII went into Italy and made a champaign. The plebs were not allowed to graze upon the public lands because the people would not leave them. They irritated the land in Kansas. The jury had a meeting at which they sat upon the corpse and said, ‘‘sudden death.” Only one idea may be disgusted in a paragraph. They banished all and imprisoned the rest. The Southern States succeeded from the Union. 71 REASONS WHY THE MORNING EXERCISES ARE A FAILURE. Because they won't let— Replinger sing, “Pictures in the Smoke.” Maud Lea sing, “Jimmie Dean” to the tune of “Tammany.” Walter Schneider sing, “Molly’s Eyes.” John Curtis sing, “In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree.” Cope Harvey sing, “The Leader of the German Band.” Helen Manning sing, “I can’t, do that sum.” Miss Kleinpell sing, “I’ve lost my doggy.” Bobbie Newman sing, “How far a girl should go.” Will Libby sing, “Tarry with me.” Molly Wright sing, “Hymns” (Hims).

Fisher sing, “Keep it dark.” Hammersley sing, “Baraboo” to the tune of “Bluebell.” There was a young teacher named Pooley, Who found some of his pupils unruly, lie remarked, as he smiled, “Now, don’t get me too riled, For its really my place to be cool—you’re the next victim.” “Yet once more, 0 ye datives, and once more Subjunctives fierce, with forms I never know, I seek to find my bearing in your maze, And with my brain adaze. To grasp your sense beneath the midnight glow. Bitter constraint, by a strict teacher laid, Compels me to disturb the season’s sleep; For Anna Burr has said—“Read forty lines, Read forty, tho’ it brings you to your grave.” Who would not do his Latin ? Who keep His mind untrained, nor know its ways so rough ? One can not float through this High School Career Unswept or sweltered by this parching stuff, Without the spook of the Virgilian fear.” —With apologies to Milton. 72 '‘JOHN (Minutes of one of the old rhetorical divisions of the 1906 class.) Miss Clark (in rhetoricals)—“Mr. Schneider.” “Not prepared.” “Miss Minch.” “Not prepared.” “Mr. Reif.” “Not prepared.” “Mr. Meuer.” “Not prepared.” “Is any one here prepared ?” Mr. Atwood volunteers. Cheers. Begins his essay: “What fools these mortals be.” If to stab were as easy as to know when you’re going to flunk, failures had been “Ex’s.” and “Flunk-cards,” sheep-skin diplomas. It is a wise scholar who ignores his neighbor’s promptings: ‘tis easier to tell twenty what it were best to say, than to be one of the twenty to follow your own instructions. 73 HIGH SCHOOL ALPHABET.

Replinger on “The Interior of the Office. ” This lecture will be accompanied by lantern-slide views whicli Mr. Replinger has sketched from the original. Mr. Replinger’s vast knowledge of his subject is the result of many visits to the world renowned “Office.” It will bring up many pleasant memories to the fortunate ones who have visited this place and will give such unfortunates (if there are any) a vivid conception of its glories. Miss Warning wishes to announce to all her friends, that she will continue her receptions during the month of April and probably longer. These receptions, which are the delight of everyone who attends them, are held daily, except Saturday and Sunday, at four o’clock, in her room. Everyone is cordially invited. Mr. Otterson entertains informally every day at recess. The room is usually tastefully decorated with geometry problems. A skeleton also adds to the attractiveness of the room on special occasions. Pink Tei. Professor J. H. Hutchison gave a novel pre-Lenten entertainment in the form of a pink tea on the afternoon of February twenty-seventh, the day before Lent began. The affair was held in Mr. Hutchison’s Physics Laboratory at the High School. The decorations were in pink. Chief Bernhard, who was tastefullly dressed in pink organdie, with pink tea roses as decoration, made the affair a great success by pouring. Many students attended. 81 Freshman Brilliancy.

THE M. H. S. MOTHER GOOSE. High diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle, The High School acted a play; The audience cheered When the players appeared, And hoped they'd repeat it some day. Little Miss Helen Was shrieking and yellin’— The general had left her alone. But along came Walt Schneider, And stood close beside her; She cried, “You’re my idol, my own! Little Bob Newman We’ll blow your horn, And sing your praise From night till morn. Where’s the little boy who played Colonel O’Fipp If you want to learn acting, he’ll give you a tip. Frances, Frances, pudding and pie, Caught a lad and made him die. What a pity to act that way! She could’nt help it—’t’was in the play. Jack was Whipple Jack was slick Jack was the villain who played the trick Fair Mistress Durbrow, Scorning a furbelow, How does your family grow? Your husband pedantic, And Bulstrode romantic: You took a fine part in the show. TY-CHO-BER-AHN. “Tay-cho-per-ah” was the name by which the native Indians about Madison designated the four lake country. Governor Doty, the first executive of Wisconsin and one of the first settlers in Madison, recollected that the natives called this region “Tay-cho-per-ah.” Another pioneer of the four lake region, Simeon Mills, has stated that on his arrival here the country about the present city of Madison was called “Tay-shope.” Dr. James D. Butler has further traced the origin of “Tay-cho-per-ah” directly to the Winnebago tongue. lie found that it was derived from the Winnebago work for lake, tah-hah, and the word for four, tshopiwi. It is not difficult to see how these two words combine in “Tay-cho-per-ah.” The first annual ever published by the pupils of the High School was in 1900. That board consisted of ten High School students, who, after having labored for some months on material for the book, were at a loss for a suitable name for their publication. The following quotation from page 28 of that Annual is of interest: “At first we were puzzled at what to call our effort. We finally, however, decided on ‘The Ty-cho-ber-ahn. • The board has accomplished a great work in a short time. May this be the first, but not the last.” This wish has been granted. Every year since then, excepting 1905, a volume of the Ty-cho-ber-ahn has appeared. In all, five volumes have been published. The present 1906 Ty-cho-ber-ahn is the sixth ‘‘Annual.” May it be but a link connecting a long chain of future Ty-cho-ber-ahns. 89 “FEBRUARY 27.” It was a winter afternoon, bright, sharp and cold, And we were busy at our books within The old school building, cozy in the warmth Produced by John’s researches in the soft coal bin. When suddenly six sharp commanding rings Upon the bell, did summon us to go. Leaving our books and teachers loved so well. Out on the side walk, in the cold and snow. Grumbling and injured, own we went, and out. Thinking the lire drill was uncalled for quite, Only to meet the hose cart on the run, And anxious parents paralyzed with fright. 90 At length the joyous truth upon us broke, That the old building was ablaze at last. Cheer after cheer the distant echoes woke— Vacation stretched before us; all our woes were past. But then alas! officious firemen came, Turned on their hose with unrelenting zeal, Put out the fire, and left us to go home, Cold and dejected to our evening meal. Next morning came the saddest stroke of all,— Summons to school again without delay, Not even one day of vacation gained. Wasn't it horrible? Well—I should say! Our woes are many and our lot is hard, Since firemen now have joined with D. K. T. To keep us in this old barn to the end. Alas! We ne'er shall our new building see! 9i RULES OF THE M. H. S. FIRE DRILL. 1. When an alarm is given the pupils shall depart on a dog-trot, leaving the teachers to their fate. 2. Jumping from windows is prohibited, as is also climbing down the fire-escape. 3. Pupils are especially requested not to stop to get their books when an alarm sounds, for they are not worth the trouble. 4. Keep in line, even if the tail of your coat is afire; you cannot get any further away from it by running. 5. If the building should catch (a)fire, any attempt to put it out will be regarded as an unfriendly act. (We want a new high school sometime.) 6. If an alarm turns out to be false, the pupils are (requested) to give the M. II. S. yell three times, and then return to their seats. 7. Anybody catching fire will be immediately put out. 8. Any person who smells smoke, or sees fire in the building (excluding furnaces) is requested to report at either the superintendents office or that of the principal. Failing to find them within, he may be seated until they come. 0. If you imagine you see a gleam of fire anywhere, look twice to see if it be not a brilliant tie, or some other fad which seems to burn hard. One day in an algebra class. Mr. Baker told the following story: A teacher asked her pupils if they could add twelve horses, two cows and ten sheep. There was a pause for a moment, then up went one little boy's hand. lie quickly arose and answered. “Reduce them ail to the common denominator animals, and add.” In Zoology Class. Miss Dean: “How are the granules arranged in the neucles of a common cell?” Miss Quest: “Oh, any old way.” 92 WHEN YOU SEE Goff Replinger and Paul Weaver Dancing; Studying; Smoking. Then we will have a new H. S. Daily recitation, Idle speculation, An interrogation, Awful consternation. Last examination, Minus graduation. 93 T. EDISON JONES’ VISION. T. Edison Jones, salutatorian of the class of 2006, was composing his ■eloquent farewell to the noble old Madison High School. Around him were the marvelous inventions of his age—autodictioniclettes and gram-marscopes—machines which, tho’ requiring a great quantity of oil to keep running smoothly, he found essential. lie also had a book of famous quotations of the ancients, including bits of wisdom from all the seers and prohets away back to the time of Everett Burmeister: and yet he found his task difficult indeed, for his ire was overpowering as he thought upon the disgrace his school-mates were suffering. “Was there ever,” he declared, “a class so perniciously insulted as ours, that we should be graduated in this antiquated edifice whose inestimable longevity surpasses the duration of our farthest remembrance? I challenge another class so virulently degraded to appear!” And, lo! ere he had finished the words, there arose before him a troop of ghosts; a few slow and listless ones cruelly driven on by well-meaning instructors, a few bold and wicked ones cantering along on Dutsch and Latin ponies, but the great majority swimming easily and successfully along like regular whales and sharks. T. Edison, quite overcome, ejaculated the most classical interjection he knew: “Golly! whence came you nocturnal necromancers; by the omnipotent gum! who are you ?’ ’ “We,” answered the ghosts, “are the class of 1006 who came to answer your challenge.We, too, suffered the foul indignities of being graduated in a ruined structure which was so far beyond its dotage.. ” “Not so bad as ours,” broke in T. Edison, “we don’t even have room to put up our fiying-machines!” “To put them up!” responded the ghosts, “we couldn’t even stop our things from flying, the draughts were so great. That’s how we learned to be such birds.” And truly the ghosts were flying about in great agitation: two of the most lively had immense folios under their arms, and minutely written over all their thoughts and actions was that word “Tychoberahn;” another was busy trying to keep others from looking at the printing in his hat; a third poor lad. alone in his trouble, was struggling to escape the clutches of his twenty-odd fair class-mates; one maiden was dropping pencils to watch a score of boys scramble to pick them up; in the corner a group of fair damsels were giving lessons in giggle-whispering: three large groups were discussing topics of the day with oratorical effulgence; a “bunch” was practicing true “Senior-class-meet ing-rough-house ; and two gridiron heroes were having a Baraboo scrimmage. 94 “----------said T. Edison, forgetting the occasion of this vision, “here were an excellent place to study the aborigines of this land. Yonder, undoubtedly, they are playing the barbaric game of foot-ball.’’ But in the midst of his thoughts, the ghosts suddenly vanished, for they felt implicitly confident that no class as bright and wonderful as theirs could ever have proceeded from such a disgraceful building. The 11:30 English class had been reading Bacon's essays for ten minutes. Miss McGovern: “Molly will please read now.” Miss Wright (hurriedly): “Where is the place, Miss McGovern?” Miss M.: “Oh! my dear girl, line 753,748. Next.” Teacher: “What does coincide mean?” Pupil: “Why, that’s when two things bump into each other.” “Where are you going my pretty maid?” “Going to sneeze, kind sir,” she said, “At whom will you sneeze, my pretty maid?” “At-choo! at-choo! kind sir.” she said. That High School. In July it was voted A large bond be floated, That we might procure a new school House so dear. Then there came an injunction; But with little compunction. The sup. court said “have it” in April next year. 95 96 night before exam. A DIGNIFIED SENIOR. John Robert Newman Is his worthy name, But there are very few Who call him by the same. It’s “Colonel,” or “Grafter,” And “0 Fipp,” and “Tubby,” Sometimes 4 41ppelberger, ’ ’ But usually “Bobby.” “Comedian,” too, Many times “Dutchy,” Very often 44Midget.” And every day 44Shorty.” Now and then it’s John, Thursday nights “Prexy Once it a while 44Stump,” Occasionally 44Fatty.” But, in spite of each, He has had his say; In the four years passed; And three big meals a day. AN EXCELLENT ZOOLOGY FINAL. (Found on the desk of the teacher of zoology a few days before examination.) I. How long would it take an amoeba to eat a bag of peanuts? II. Is a volvox subjected to cold-sores, sore throat and ear-ache? III. Is it possible to find brains in a frog? (Note. It is not possible to find them in I)iv. 11-4.) IV. Name the featherweight champion of Frogville. V. In what way is the color of a frog and II-4 alike? VI. Can a jelly-fish hypnotize a spider? VII. Do you think the clams would live longer if we had a new high school ? VIII. If you had as many hearts as an angleworm would you have heart enough to kill a poor little amoeba? 97 THE CLASSES. A freshman is one who knows not, and knows that he knows not. A sophomore is one who knows not, and knows not, that lie knows not. A junior is one who knows and knows not that he knows. A senior is one who knows, and knows that he knows. Miss McGovern' (illustrating the modern public opinion of the theater) : “I suppose you have all seen a minister at the theater.” Molly Wright: “I haven’t. But I have seen ministers’ sons.” Miss McG.: “Oh! I see you’ve got your eyes on one of the sons.” If all the world were Algebra And all the sea were ink, And all the trees were Botany Of what would people think? Tell us not in mournful numbers, “Cuts” are but an empty dream, For the man is sick who gets them, And excuses what they seem. Question: What was the holy grail? Answer: The holy grail was a ship kept by noble knights and angels on the top of a mountain of salvation. J—h—W—h (acting as critic in Forum) : “One of the worst faults is keeping your hands in your pockets-” The jeering of the au- dience told him where his were. Miss Durbrow (translating ‘they quaffed oblivious draughts’) : “They took safe drinks.” 98 In Ancient History Class. Miss Preuss: “What did Caesar do to reform the colonies?” Mr. Babcock: “Introduced electric lights.” Miss Preuss: “Mr. R. what became of Bacon?” Mr. R.: “ Why—he died, didn’t he ? ” In Numbers. Though they had never met b—4 What cause had she 2—care She loved him 10 derly because He was a 1,000,000 aire. First Freshman: “Have you got your theme in yet?” Second Freshman: “Nope, what’s the use? The teacher has got it in for me already.” Miss H. thinks that our presidents are chosen by an electrical college which casts vo(l)ts—that’s why Aaron Burr made the sparks fly. A MODERN SCHOLAR 99 Definition of “Zephyr.” Mr. V.: (Translating) “The Zephyr—I don’t know what that verb means.” Miss M.: “Blows.” Mr. V.: (not understanding) “The zephyr glows.” Miss M.: “What is a zephyr, Mr. V. ?” Mr. V. “I thought a zephyr was some sort of an insect like a mosquito. ’ ’ Miss M.s “Where did you get that idea?” Mr. V.: “From that song: ‘A zephyr came in at my window.’ ” Miss M. did not restrain the laughter of the class. Miss M.: “Give the principal parts of the word live.” Pupil: (aside) “What are they, Bill?” Bill: “Darned if I know.” Pupil: (aloud) “Darnifino, darnifiare, darnifinavi, darnifinatum.” I thought I knew I knew it all But now I must confess The more I know I know I know I know I know the less. ioo JUNIOR CHORUS. Five days out of each week The M. II. S. we seek; Not because we love it so, But because we have to go. Five days out of each week Deep in our books we keep; Learn we our lessons well That, we can the teachers tell. Five days out of each week Buck we our physics deep; That we may laurels reap In the near future. Five days, a quarter to nine, We must be there on time; Or we’ll fret a line From the Professor. HOW TO GET GEOMETRY. Why, here’s a hard proposition, That requires a strict inquisition; But I know what I’ll do, I’ll just leave it to you; Don’t care if I pet a condition. Friiulein Klein pell to student: “Wollen Sie die Giite haben das Fenster zu zu machen.” Student (who does not understand) emphatically: “No, ma’am!” Miss McGovern (calling the roll): “Mr. Bernhard?” “Here!” “Miss M.:—“Thank you!” Lives of students all remind us, We can’t make our “Dutch” sublime, For Miss Kleinpell does remind us We “know noddings” all the time.

Bright, diligent, and studious is lie, A lad who’s pants have been coaxed past his knee; He holds himself stately, as every boy should, And his name is Marion J. Atwood. He’s young in age, and small in size, His features are set off by large grey eyes; His long black hair he parts in the middle, And why he’s so bashful, to me is a riddle. Though his good points are many, and faults has he few. He stabs in Geometry, History too; In German and in English he isn’t so slow, The meaning of big words he always does know. He belongs to the Forum, is a debater of note; One would think by his voice he’d a frog in his throat; He’s a dignified Senior, an ideal lad, And who follows his foot-steps, can never go bad. L. K.

And now let me tell you of a farmer’s son, Whose legs were long, and fast could run, Who could plow a furrow, and aim a gun, And his name was Frank W. Tillotson. Student (translating ‘Der Schwan fing ein Fischlein mit seinem Schnabel und versehlang es’) : “The swan caught a fish line with his bill and swallowed it.” Junior: Everything is work. The whole universe is work. Teacher: Here’s a book and a desk; are they work? Junior: Yes, the book is hard work, and the desk is wood work. A pupil was told to look up the word “ferment,” and use it in a sentence. He found it meant “to work,” and went proudly at his sentence. This is what confronted his astonished teacher when he handed it in: “I would rather play out of doors than ferment in school.” Definition of Bacchus the Greek god of wine): “Bacchus was a Scotch inu-keeper.” !05 Mr. B------was called upon. Mr. B-------arose, disclaimed all knowl- edge of the subject, and sat down again with the consolation that he hadn’t. stabbed. “Why, Mr. B--------. if you had said five words on the subject, you would have got me started, and I would have talked for half an hour,” said the enthusiastic teacher. “Well.” replied Mr. 15----, remembering the virtue of not stabbing, “My conscience don’t hurt me now.’’ And he wondered why the teacher turned red, and why everybody laughed. Here’s to the lawyers, who pleaded the cause! Here’s to the builders with hammers and saws! Here’s to the judges who gave the decision! Here’s to the New School, no cause for derision! John W-l-h (reciting in History): “They delayed and delayed until finally they got there just in time to be late.” Mrs. Jenkins: “Yes. the savages, as a class, were fond of cutting and stabbing. Now Miss-------------. can you tell me of any other class with these characteristics?’’ Mr. Fisher (coming to his sense suddenly) : “Yes. the Seniors.’’ Mr. Pooley: “We will take the rest of tomorrow’s lesson today.” (Examination on English History.) Question: “Describe and ex- plain a Papal Bull.” Answer: “The law requires that no bull shall be imported into England and that if it should be imported there, it could not be killed there.” In Geometry. Pupil: “I don’t exactly understand that proposition; I only looked it over before class.” Teacher: “I guess you mean you over-looked it.” io6 IF THE COAT FITS PUT IT ON. I know a girl with hair of night From whom I once did win a bet. And though I think her heart is right. She didn’t pay already yet. Her eyes of melting hazel hue Shine through her dusky curling locks; But oh. 1 don’t know what to do. For where, oh where, is my candy box? Her face is fair as roses are— I do not wish to bear a grudge She is as lovely as a star— But where’s the promised box of fudge? If any maid of M. H. S. Heads this in the Tvchoberahn— If she’s the one she’ll surely guess. If the coat fits, then put it on. 107 WHAT I AM GOING TO BE. ‘‘The Whole Cheese’ ..................................P.

If you have, you undoubtedly know where he’s at, For in it are placed two well engraved hearts That seem to have been pierced by cupid’s darts; One is that of a maiden divine, The other Johnnie says, ‘‘Is mine.” Underclassmen Dialog. First: Was you to the debate ? ’ ’ Second: ‘‘I should say I was. Hill took me. Say, it was just lovely. Three fellows set on each side of Prof’s desk and each one got his turn and they talked and they had a lot of wrapping paper with stuff written on it and they kept saying ‘Honorable jurors,’ but I suppose they meant to say ‘Honorable Juniors.’ ” THE SENIOR STRIKE. The Seniors, they were overworked, O, how they groaned and sighed! And when t’was hinted they had shirked Twas instantly denied. To this sad state to draw attention In class meeting, you see, They made complaint which caused dissension Amidst the “powers that be.” And there occurred a bitter strife, Seldom the world sees such Between the mighty forces rife, Geometry and Dutch. Math’matics won the day at last Though Deutschers did their best, And when the gory day was past, The Seniors had a rest. 109 Freshman—Studies hard. Soph.—Studies hardy. J unior—Studies ? Hardly! Senior—Studies hearts. The question required a quotation. The scholar wrote: “Ask me no-more, what answer can I give?—Tennyson.” Senior (translating by what zeal are we aroused): “By what zeal are we on fire.” (Heard at the high school fire) : “Pass the hat around for kerosene.’ THE SAUCY FRESHMAN. It was a saucy freshman bold Who had the deed committed. He knew not Prof.; but knew full well Such things are not permitted. On looking up from his fell deed A stern glance he encountered. A beckoning finger urged him forth And up the aisle he sauntered. “I see.” said Prof., “that you are one Who disobeys the rule.” “I didn’t mean to”—“One more time And you will leave the school.” The culprit wanted to explain; Prof, squelched him with a glance. “Don’t let this happen soon again,” He said, “You’ve one more chance!” “But if you don’t behave yourself, You soon will be suspended. Now go, and be a man!” said he And there the matter ended. no Ill A MID-SUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM JUST THINK IF YOU WERE LATE. The air is full of flying leaves, The sun shines through a haze; And geese are honking overhead, For these are autumn days. So, Freshies, get your rubbers on It's quarter after eight; The school is all of two blocks off— Just think if you were late! 'flic snow is falling thick and fast And cheery sleigh-bells jingle; Yes, January’s here at last— Oh, don’t your fingers tingle? So put your rubbers on, my dears, Your woolen tippets, too, And here’s the sled that Santv brought, And wear your leggings, do! The sky is blue as blue can be. The clouds are white as snow ; And though the sun is shining now, We’ll have a shower ’ere night. So, Freshies, get your rubbers on— It’s quarter after eight; Just think! the school is two blocks off, And what if you were late! Teacher (to pupil who knows more about carriages than boats, and lias confessed that he doesn’t know what a rudder is): ‘4Well, at least, you know the name of that upright piece of timber that holds the sail, don’t you ? ’ ’ Pupil (confidently): “Oh, yes; that’s the shaft.” E. B.: “Well, what’s the matter with that answer?” Mr. Pooley: “Why, it’s as if I should ask you for Lincoln’s family, and you should answer that he was descended from Adam.” 112 THE SNOW STORM. (Written by a High School pupil and published by Eastern Magazine.) At early dawn, the cold grey light Crept slowly over leaden skies; In gently moving waves, the night Receded, as the stars take flight, The stars, its gleaming eyes. The workman now with weary tread, With rough, red hands, and laggard feet, Wearied with toil for daily bread For wife and child that must be fed, Shrank from the driving sleet. Stronger and wilder grew the blast The myriad snow Hakes filled the air, As faster, faster, and more fast. The heavy clouds their burden cast Unto the wintry air. Swirling the snow now low now high O’er withered field and meadow sear. With shrieks that wail, and croon, and die, The gale whirled crystals from the sky That hid the landscape drear. At last the flying clouds disband Out burst the sun in all his might And changed the world to fairy land, The drifts, to mounds of jewels grand That glittered in the light. Then sleigh bells chimed o’er meadows bright. Gay voices from the wayside call, 'Till dusk’s soft garment clothing night Called forth the stars’ shy twinkling light To vigils keep o’er all. 113 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1906. We, the most glorious and renowned class of 1906 of the High School of the city of Madison, state of Wsconsin, in our right mind, do hereby make and declare our last will and testament as follows: I. Mr. Hutchison: To this great man we leave (1) all the love and respect, which we always had for him, (2) our thanks for the good advice and lectures which he often gave us, and (3) our good records of tardiness, daily attendance and behavior. IT. We leave and bequeath to Miss Kleinpell and Miss A. Moseley, their heirs and assigns forever, all our literal and free translations in German and Latin together with our neatly written note-hooks, all containing standings from 97 to 100 per cent. III. Miss McGovern and Miss Flora Moseley: To these teachers we owe our wide knowledge of British literature. We therefore bequeath to the said Miss McGovern and Miss Flora Moseley and their successors all the money remaining in the treasury of the Class of 1906 at the time of our departure, to he put out at interest, which interest, annually shall be used to purchase gold and silver medals, and given as honorary awards, annually, for the encouragement of scholarship in said branch of study. IV. To Miss Warning and Mr. Otterson and their heirs forever we leave all the little zeroes (forget-me-nots) which they sadly placed in their record books to our credit. V. To Mr. Pooler we leave (1) our excellent behavior in his classes, (2) also our history notes, the proof of countless hours of hard study, and (3) also our best hopes for his future success. VI. To the Junior (’lass we leave (1) all honors and rights due to a senior class, (2) all the glory we didn't achieve (very little), (3) all tasks we left undone (very few), (4) also some of our sympathy and dignity and the following good advice: (1) Study your German at least three hours daily. 2) Buck all night before a Geometry quiz. f(3) Study your English lessons if there are any assigned. '(4) Don’t study the history lessons, but stab. VII. All the rest, residue and remainder of our real or personal property (such as books, paper, pencils, etc.) we bequeath to our old and trusted friend, John Morris, who shall apportion them equally among the teachers of the M. II. S. as remembrances of the noteworthy Class of 1906. VIIT. And last, we hereby appoint said John Morris, executor of this, the last Will and Testament of the Class of 1906 In witness whereof, we. the Class of 1906, have hereunto set our hands and seal this loth of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and six. Class of 1906. XI4 (Signed) Why are Senior essays good literature ? Because they have stood the test of time. Miss Dean (in discussing the protection animals have in their color) : '‘One day I was eating: an apple. I saw a small white stick, and, thinking; it was a piece of the apple. I put it in my mouth. Immediately took it out. It was a small white worm.” Mr. Otterson: “What does A D = when A D f C = D?’’ Mr. Tappins: “A L) = after Christ. Miss Moseley (to Mr. A.): “(live that poem ‘Yet once more ” First Grad.: “What are you doing for a living?” Second Grad.: “I am working in a watch factory . I’ve got a snap job.” First Grad.: “What is it?” Second Grad.: “Making faces.” Geometry is a variable which approaches graduation as its limit. And now the dull pages are ended, And we hope you have all comprehended, And your pardon we beg, For all slams we have made, For none of you must be offended. OUR ADVERTISERS.
