Cl 00 fiifetor?, 1810 Never before has there been a freshman class of sufficient importance to have its history in the Tychoberahn; but at last a class has arrived which is so intelligent, so capable, and so progressive that the Tychoberahn cannot be complete without its history—the class of 1910. Our class was so famed for brilliancy that we did not need so many weeks of school as the others and were therefore given two weeks more vacation. Since we were altogether too exclusive to mix with the other classes we were assigned a new building to ourselves. As Principal Hutchison could not wait until Monday to see our wonderful class, we met, at the Library, Saturday morning, September 21. We filled out our enrollment blanks, and received a bit of good advice firm beth Mr. Dudgeon and Mr. Hutchison. They told us that we were now dependent upon ourselves, and that we must stay at home evenings and study. All this of course we did. In other class histories you will find. “It is sufficient to say for our first year, amoeba like, we existed.” Our first year has been by no means a mere existence. The early weeks were enlivened by an episode with a “Sheeny apple dealer,” much to the annoyance of our dear teachers. So grave was the offense that it was deemed necessary to have the guilty persons make the acquaintance of Mr. Hutchison. After due deliberation it was decided that the twenty-five or more “criminals” be heavily fined to the extent of five cents each, so M51 that the “Sheeny” might be duly compensated, not only for his apples, hut for his injured feelings as well. The sum was paid, and the receipt rests in the archives of the M. H. S. The class of 1910 is not only mentally versatile, but physically strong. The soph’s pasted several poorly-spelled and would-be witty pastel’s in imitation of the Varsity, but we know not whether it was the awe-inspiring presence of G. Trainor. P. Mehlig and L. Heyl which made them fear even E. Newman, K. Healy and “Babe” Car-roll—at any rate 09 did not carry out their threats. Mr. Shephard instituted a game of crowd-ball, to be played at recess, in which the freshmen became very skillful, and through which they gained great proficiency in the art of throwing spit-balls. If the class of 1910 continues to progress hereafter in an intellectual line as rapidly as it has done in its first year, there is no doubt that it will he the most illustrous class that ever graduated from the Madison High School.

[181 oj)t omovr Ci nn faintor One beautiful day in September, nineteen hundred and five, an exceedingly large and good looking class of freshmen entered the magnificent pcrtals of the venerable High School. Some were proudly clutching their diplomas and exposing them to full gaze, while others were vainly endeavoring to hide them. Ascending the broad stairs they were extremely embarrassed to he accosted by members of the other classes with such remarks as: “Are you last?” “How do you like High School?” This embarrassment, however, did not last long, as they soon found out that their would-be superiors were not so clever as they seemed. By the aid ef numerous teachers stationed at the various posts to guide these budding freshmen, they finally reached the main room, where they listened with hated breath to the oration given by Mr. Hutchison. They then departed for the old main among the titters and applause of all present. When this day was over, the freshmen were all dreaming of the path of roses before them, and the manner in which they would outshine all preceding and following classes, and so faithfully did they live up to their dream, that at the close of their freshman year, all the teachers agreed that this class was the most intelligent one that ever entered the Madison High School. The most important event of the sophomore year was the first class meeting, at which Fred (JofF was elected president: Madeline Fess, vice president: Helen Pence, secretary, and Marguerite Coleman, treasurer. The declamatory contest of the year nineteen hundred and seven proved to he the best ever recorded, for those who took part were representatives of nineteen hundred and nine. On the whole, the class of 1000 shows every sign of becoming the most brilliant class that ever graduated from the Madison High School. [191 OS Cla 0 4MKrer0 President—Rae Bell.

Colors: Green and gold. 1201 3f«wior CX«im The arrival of the class of ’08 in the old High School occasioned various remarks—complimentary and otherwise. By some we were designated as the “greenest class,” but by the teachers we were called the “smartest.” We learned our “arao, a mare, amavi. amatum” so well that we quite astonished Miss Moseley, and were so smart in algebra that the faculty decided that we needed an extra half year to finish it. As the vast extent of our capacities was realized, the courses were changed. We were not required to take rhetoricals, hut as compensation we were allowed to take ancient history, which before had been considered suitable only for mature sophomore minds. During the first few weeks of our sophomore year, an air of unusual excitement prevailed. Groups on the steps at noon and recess was a proof that some all-important event was approaching, which was no less than our first class meeting. Through the efforts of some of the best class politicians, the campaign was brought to a successful close with Louis Halbach as president. During our second year we showed great oratorical ability, which was manifested in our sophomore contest, and also in the Arbor Day program. Perhaps no junior class of the High School has ever worked under difficulties as great as ours. From the Fire Barn to the City Hall, from the City Hall to the Library, from the Library back to tin Fire Barn; even such confusion could not separate us, nor dampen junior enthusiasm. We found that the Library Auditorium sufficed even better than the Main Room—for some purposes—and that the ten-minute saunters between class were the best possible exercise. Early in the fall we elected Rae Bell as class president. His administration, including the successful Junior Prom, was so satisfactory that we held no other election during the year. Owing to the seclusion of the seniors, the lower classmen naturally looked to the juniors for inspiration, and well they might, for in no other class can he found such steadfast qualities. As advice to the freshmen, and sophomores, we shall say that the secret of our success can he found in our motto; “Omnia per gradus.” (211 Sttiifor Friday, April 12, 1907. Arrangement Committee.

Well, you see it was this way: In September, 190:1, with quaking hearts and shuffling feet, we entered for the first time the dingy halls of the Madison High School. We had previously been told that in this illustrious seat of learning pupils were not expected to be on their best behavior and as a result of this information we were designated by the faculty as “those continual rough-housers. ’ ’ For many years the great social event of every sophomore class had been the annual party. We, however, were heartlessly denied this function, and it is probable that we will never entirely recover from this disappointment. Our Junior Prom, like everything else we undertook, was in every respect a success. For fear that we might become too highly elated over our triumph, the faculty decided to limit the time, and instead of dancing until two o’clock, as on former occasions, we were obliged to disband at the unearthly hour of twelve. For many years we had looked forward to the time when we should be seniors and be the only class coming to school simply for recitations. But, as the High School is torn down, there is no main assembly room, and we have no greater rights than the insignificant sophomores and juniors. We had some hopes that in order to atone for this injustice the faculty would provide us with a convenient and respectable place in which to recite, hut again we were doomed to disappointment. The newest building in the city, the Doty school, was given to the freshmen, the most beautiful, the Library, to the sophomores and juniors, and the most disreputable, the combined engine house and police station, to the seniors. Now that, the completion of our course approaches, we will scon depart from the benign influence of the old High School. During the four years there have been some sorrows and disappointments, hut we have shared them together and they have perhaps made the pleasures all the sweeter. In after years, as pleasant memory recalls our school days, we will look hack upon them with a thrill of affection for “1907,” and above all fer the dear old M. II.

(431 [441 JOHN I45J' 146| Secret Sbotittit0 in VtrtUc School In a report of a committee of Cincinnati high school teachers on intellectual and ethical standards of pupils in secondary schools are found some interesting data in regard to secret societies. A series of questions on this topic was sent to two hundred of the representative high schools of the country. From the replies received from one hundred seventy of the schools the following information was gathered: Forty-three per cent allow no secret societies of any kind. Fifty-seven per cent have secret societies ranging in number from one to twelve. Of these, twenty-five per cent are under the control of the school authorities and seventy-five per cent arc independent organizations. Tn a few high schools secret societies exist contrary to the rule of the boards of education, but in such cases the members of the societies are denied recognition in all class organizations and are not permitted to represent the schools in any public way. The authorities in ten per cent of the schools recognize no appreciable effect of the societies, either for good or for bad. Twenty per cent think them beneficial to both the individual and the school, when membership is made to depend upon character and scholarship. Seventy per cent assert that secret societies are harmful to both the individual and the school. Among the reasons given are the following: The obligations and vows of the secret societies are taken too seriously by the boys and girls of immature minds and judgment and tend to create a factional spirit that often leads to strife and contention. In a general way, these secret organizations encourage the formation of premature and unnatural friendships and set up false standards of excellence; they make fraternity vows rather than moral obligations motives of conduct and make the development of a liberal, altruistic spirit impossible: they encourage a selfish and snobbish spirit and create a disrespect for proper authority; they foster a feeling of self-sufficiency and importance and discriminate unjustly against non-members: they tend to weaken authority, dissipate energy, encourage extravagance, lower standards of scholarship, and destroy interest in the vital things of the school. I47J It must not be inferred that all these evils attend the existence of the secret societies in the Madison High School. In most cases the natural good sense of the pupils and the wholesome influence of intelligent parents have warded off many of these unfortunate results. Nevertheless, the existence of secret fraternities and sororities is at-etnded with tendencies and influences, which are detrimental to good scholarship, inimical to a wholesome school spirit, and subversion of that spirit of democracy which above all else the public schools should strengthen and foster. With a view to checking the growth of these secret organizations and diminishing their influence, on October 4, 1904. by a unanimous vote, the board of education passed resolutions denying such organizations all public recognition and forbidding to all members of the same the privilege of representing the school in any literary or athletic contest or of serving as a class officer or as a member of a class committee. The salutary effect of these resolutions was soon felt throughout the school, the growth of the organizations was checked, their influence lessened, and the self-important and exclusive spirit of the members was less noticeable. In a degree the members of the societies came under the ban of the school and the school sentiment became unfavorable to the secret organizations. Although the carrying out of the provisions of the resolutions reduced the harmful influence of secret societies to a considerable degree, it did not assure their complete elimination from high school circles. Realizing that so long as these existed there would be a degree of social discrimination and unrest, Mr. T. E. Brittingham circulated a petition among the parents of pupils belonging to the secret societies, requesting the hoard of education to take such steps as might he necessary to eliminate permanently from the city schools all organizations among the pupils known as fraternities, sororities, or secret societies, and pledging to the hoard their support in any reasonable action for the accomplishment of this end. With much effort and patience Mr. Brittingham succeeded in presenting the subject to the parents of all pupils belonging to the societies, and succeeded in securing the names of a large majority of them to the petition. This petition was presented to the hoard on December 16, 1906, and in compliance with its provisions the following resolution was adopted: (481 Resolved, That the board of education hereby orders that secret societies in the public school system of Madison he discontinued at the end of the present academic year, and that the joining of such organizations or the continuing of membership in the same after that time by school pupils be sufficient grounds for suspension or expulsion of such pupils from the privileges of the schools. it Is felt that this matter has been handled in a wise and effective manner, and that after the present school year all so-called secret societies will cease to exist in connection with the public schools of the city. •. It is to be hoped that all legitimate benefits, social, moral, and intellectual, that these societies claim to offer, can he and will be supplied to the pupils in a better way under the sanction of the faculty, through well managed social clubs, literary societies, and other organizations. 4 [49) r� CfyaxUu SttcCarttyP Were the High School pupils to select all persons to whom they owe a debt of gratitude as a school, few’ men would stand higher in the list than Dr. Charles McCarthy. Though his name is familiar to every one of us, but few of us begin to know him. We first appreciate the man only when we have seen him night after night in practice, have received his encouragement when our interest has lagged, have experienced his careful attention to our injuries, or found his commendation for work well done. It is little wonder that he turns out teams that fight like fiends from the kickoff until time is called, that forget individual glory in a united effort for victory, and that return foul, dirty play with a clean, manly game. Dr. McCarthy’s influence on the players does not end with the game. lie is least of all a football coach; for by his sterling integrity, his fine personality, and by his achievements, he has given us an example which should influence us for the good throughout our lives. [501 The Madison High School Alumni Association was organized in 1900. The object of the association is to strengthen and perpetuate the bonds of friendship among its members, and to promote and further the interests of the High School. The meetings of the society are held annually after the commencement exercises, at which time the officers for the ensuing year are elected and all other business is transacted. All alumni of the High School are eligible to membership and all are expected to join and to keep the secretary advised of changes in their addresses. The association tries to hold a banquet each year in order to bring its members together and to keep up interest in the High School. The present officers are: President, Mrs. Edwin F. Gibbs (Carrie French), 75; Vice-President, Miss Edna Heuer, ’98; Secretary, Ellis P. Abbott, ’04; Treasurer, Wm. J. Bollenbeck, ’04. [52J Ti)t flMfll) School 6rcf)r tra The IIi rh School Orchestra has been made a success, though it has had difficulties perhaps greater than those experienced in either ol' the two previous years. In September there was not the slightest hope of forming an orchestra, but by perseverance an organization was effected, a room secured in the Doty Building, and regular semi-weeklv meetings begun. A leader was found in the person of Mr. Glaum. The Orchestra, while growing, desires a still larger membership. Any High School student, who has had one year’s instruction on his instrument, is eligible upon the payment of a twenty-five cent fee. The Orchestra expresses its hearty thanks to Mr. Dudgeon, to Mr. Glaum, and to all who have in any way aided its progress. Mr. Glaum, leader. Hugh Bliss, Joseph Bollenbeek.

During the past winter, we entered a relay team in the University of Wisconsin Relay meet held at the University gymnasium, on the evening of March 10. 1907. Our four, George Trainor, Fess, Dean, and Wellman won with ease from the team representing the Janesville High School, and were about a half a lap ahead of their competitors at the finish. Although our runners were not hard pressed in this contest, we finished in about three seconds faster time than did the St. Johns Military Academy team which won the State Preparatory School championship at the same meet. Early outdoor practice for the annual interscholastic meet was prevented by the unfavorable weather this spring, but, nevertheless, we ought to give a good account of ourselves. We have some good promising material and with good hard faithful work ought to take points when the High School athletes of the state contest at Camp Randall.

The credit belongs to Dr. McCarthy, to the “regulars,” to the “subs,” and to the pupils of the High School who loyally cheered their team to victory. Every game was worth watching, but the best was played November 24 with the South Side High School of Milwaukee. This game drew the largest crowd seen at Camp Randall during the season. The newspapers estimated the attendance at five thousand. Although the result was a tie, our team gained the glory, as even the Milwaukee papers admitted that the slippery field harmed Madison more than it did Milwaukee. Old timers who watched the contest said that never in one game did they see such tackling, such a sharp attack or such a stubborn defense. Indeed, Madison’s defense on her twelve-yard line, when the heavier Milwaukee team was held for downs and the game and the championship saved, has never been surpassed. The team was a machine, not a hunch of individual players. If some men made more scores or more spectacular plays than others, it was the perfect work of their team mates which gave them the opportunities. Last year gave the final proof of Madison High School sportsmanship. Other years we have shown how to lose without sulking or making excuses; last year we demonstrated that we could win without “rubbing it in.” Go|� tai trailer’s Ptfort -Sou5id« Crame 160] [61] 1621 The Nautilus Club of the Madison High School was organized in 1899. The name was taken from Oliver Wendell Holmes’ poem, “The Chambered Nautilus, ’ and the idea of the club was expressed in the lines: “Build thee more stately mansions. O my soul; As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last. Shut thee from Heaven with a dome more vast. Till at length thou art free. Leaving thine out-grown shell by life’s unresting sea!’’ The work this year has been mostly on current topics, present day writers, artists, actors, and sculptors. In the fall term while Florence Holcombe was president, a debate was given: “Resolved, that co-education should be abolished in the M. H. S.” The alumni members who were judges decided in favor of the affirmative. A reception given to the High School girls, held at the Congregational church, was the social event of the term. The program and refreshments were enjoyed by about two hundred High School girls. During the winter term Kdna Pease was president. At her suggestion two old customs were revived, the membership committee and the free discussion of current events after each program. During (63) her presidency, the club pave a highly successful reception at the Congregational church for its alumni members. Many responded and several expressed the desire that this become an annual affair. With Edith Sears holding the gavel, the club entered upon its last term. Under the supervision of the Misses Kleinpell and Young, the comedy, “Men, Maids and Matchmakers” was presented. Because the expenses were greater, the proceeds were not so large as those from former plays, but it was more successfull dramatically. There being no Arbor Day Program, the club decided to have a picnic. As usual it rained, but Hester Harper kindly offered her house for the occasion. Because the classes have been in different buildings, it has been hard to become acquainted with new girls, yet the Nautilus Club is larger than ever before. This is largely due to the reception last fall. The increased difficulty of the work lessened the average attendance, and often made it impassible for Miss McGovern to be present. In spite of our hardships, we have praspered, and have made the Nautilus Club a stronger factor in the High School. (641 Officers PALL TERM. President—Florence I lolcombe.

The Madison High School Literary Society has been maintained for thirteen years and is new in flourishing condition. It welcomes to its membership earnest and capable students, hut does not consider a large enrollment conducive to the best individual work. Its aim is to give each member frequent opportunity to appear on the program of extemporaneous speeches, prepared topics, and debates. Experience proves that the readiness and power to think and talk “on one’s feet' is of immediate service to the student in his class work, and is a training indispensable in the practical everyday world. The society has seven seniors this year. The now members, of whom eight are first year pupils, have made an excellent showing at the outset. In parliamentary practice the society is slowly hut steadily improving. A number of books helpful in public speaking have recently been added to the library. Meetings of the society are held every Thursday evening in a large, well lighted room on the second floor of the city hall. In an adjoining room meets the city council which, let me anticipate, may some time number among its members a few who once debated mighty questions of state across the hall. The membership is not one-sided in its activities. The society lias five representatives on the annual board, and the salutatorian of the class of 1907. On April 13th a successful play, “Men, Maids, and Matchmakers ’ was given conjointly with the Nautilus Club. Messrs. Roman Heilmann. Charles Moritz, Martin Nelson, and Leonard Nelson of the Literary Society did clever work as the “Men ' in the play. While no public contest has been held, yet a commendable showing in debate was made in two semi-public “tryouts” in which twelve members took part. Prof. Lyman of the department of oratory in the Cniversity, was present at one debate, which he, in both critical and complimentary vein, said compared favorably with debates he had heard in the societies on the “hill. The status and welfare of the Literary Society will lie greatly advanced when it will have occupied the room provided in the new building. For the equipment and beautifying of that room the society already has a large sum. [671 I la t0ou Jififtt) %ti)ooi fLftcrarg Sfcocicft? Officer PALL TERM. President—Roman Heilman.

The year just completed has been exceedingly prosperous, both from the standpoint of securing new members, and from the way in which the tone of the society has been maintained. The majority of the new members are underclassmen, who are especially desirable, and all have shown great interest, both in the preparation and in the delivery of their debates. The limited membership makes it necessary for each man to appear frequently on the programme, thus keeping out all who are unwilling to work. As an additional safeguard, there is a period of probation, which makes it practically impossible for an undesirable person to become a member of the society. During the first half of the year, Mr. Sauthoff acted as critic, but since his absence from the school, the Forum has been deprived of the services of a regular coach. A programme usually consists of a debate, with three men on each side, followed by a recitation, an essay, or an extemporaneous speech. After the regular programme, the society goes into secret session for the purpose of transacting business and gaining a knowledge of parliamentary procedure. Although the Forum challenged six different literary societies either to a joint debate or an oratorical contest, no favorable reply' was received.

A Shy lock came down Wilson street. The Freshman boys, just out from school, Saw, and forgot the teacher’s rule. Rcss Taylor, softly as a mouse. Stuck an apple in his blouse; But the Shvloek saw him do it. And he swore that Ross should rue it. After Taylor then he started. But no sooner had departed Than the other hoys declared They would dare what Ross had dared. Each one to the wagon sped. Took an apple, turned, and Hed. While the Shvloek. in despair. Raved, and tore his raven hair. Then the hell rang, and retreats Quick were made to school room seats. But the Shvloek. hateful creature, Went in too. and told the teacher: And she. mindful of her duty. Gathered up the cores as booty. Then to set the matter right. Took them up to Prof. that, night. ITp to Prof, the hoys went. too. And when he had heard them through The Shvloek for to recompense Fined each one.of them five cents. When the hoys, whrse hungry feeling Had provoked the apple stealing. Thought about their high priced fun, Tt seemed to them the Jew had won. (781 When Edith Sears was elected president of the Nautilus club, the girls demanded the usual speech, hut with her characteristic diffidence she refused to respond. Two girls sitting next to her sympathized with her situation, and in the five minutes during which the other officers were elected, wrote the following poem for her to read: I thank you for the honor Which you have given me. And trust that I may execute My duties worthily. I hope that you will all attend The meetings in a throng. With topics that are well prepared, And always very long. Next term will he the last rne When we are all together; So always come to Nautilus In every kind of weather. For fun well have this corning term, With eats and spreads galore: So those, that always loved the club. Will love it even more. I had a little pony. His name 1 need not sav, I lent him to a lady. Examination day. She marked him and she tore him In ways I don’t admire; 1 would not lend my pony For all the lady’s hire. (79J Brookings, S. I)., Jan. 24, 1923. Dear Friend Leonard: Until I received your letter I had not heard from you for some time. I was surprised to learn that you are located in Alaska. I have kept close to mv business here for the last seven years, but made a trip to Madison, Wis., last week. Among: the many changes that have taken place there, the one most interesting to us is the new High School, just finished. Determined to go through it. I entered the Wisconsin avenue door, passed up the marble stairs, and down a corridor where 1 found a door labeled C. ♦J. Moritz, Principal. I entered, and found Helen Thurshy acting as stenographer. After a short visit she showed me into a private office where sat a man with a long black moustache. It. was Moritz. We talked over old times for awhile and then he took me to the main room, where presiding at the desk was the Assistant Principal. Martin Nelson. On our way to the Physics Laboratory, I learned that religious services are held in the school every morning, and that M. B. Goff is the Chaplain. In the Laboratory Alfred Buser was explaining the intricacies of the electric motor, and in an adjoining room a geometry class was reciting to Mr. Bondi. On our way to Ed. Train-or’s American history class. Moritz told me that Arno Froelieh was at the head of the German department, with Bernard Woffenden and Frances Beck as assistants. Just then the four o’clock boll rang and after the pupils had returned to the assembly room 1 found Louis Stephenson and Edward Babcock doing John’s old duty. John, it seems, has become a millionaire and refused to work any more. We next went to the gymnasium, where I found the gymnastic instructor, Roman Heilman. lie said that Coach William Hammersley and he turned out a championship football team last fall. Moritz had some boys in the office to see to, and accompanying him thither, I took leave at the doer, but before I left him he said that this year’s Tychoberahn bids fair to surpass all others but the one of the class of 1907. It is getting late, and I must close for this time. Trusting that you will write soon, and with best wishes to you and your family, I am, as ever. Sincerely your friend, Thomas Morgan. 1801 £ Tt)( 0X0 Ssti)O0i To the old school, we once abhorred, We dedicate this rhyme. How oft thy halls have rung and roared With laughter’s merry chime. Within thy walls we’ve studied hard, But whispered harder yet; With jackknives big thy desks we’ve marred; Those days we’ll ne’er forget. For we were free and happy then, And didn’t have to run To City Hall and back again Before we could count one. We had to stay indoors all day. But passing notes is fun. Main room, for thee we pine away, We all do, every one. Most always I hand in jokes, About the Freshmen, “little folks,” Or A. T. F.’s fine translation, Or Mr. White’s talk of the nation. But sometimes things are dull in class And funny things don’t come to pass. When jokes are few, then are the times I save five cents by writing rhymes. When Friday afternoon comes round. And no new jokes or pun I’ve found. I have to take my pen in hand And grind out rhymes to beat the band. Although the rhymes are lame and halt. It is certainly not my fault, For if in class you’d cut up worse I should not now be writing verse.

(821 n iRefeerir As is my wont, I had put oft my hardest and most uninteresting study, Latin, until late Sunday evening. Somehow or other this evening the lesson seemed unusually difficult and I spent my time alternately translating a few words of Latin on one page and scowling and glaring at the bust of Cicero on the opposite one. After wishing for the hundredth time that Cicero had never lived, I could keep my eyes open no longer, and my head gradually fell forward on my hook, when, horror of horrors! I awoke with a start, for there on the page of my book a real live Cicero was growing out of his picture. It did not take long for him to grow on his legs, arms, and the rest of his body. Then he confronted me, accusingly, with his long toga drawn tightly around him, his arms folded, his head thrown hack, and his gimlet eyes upon me. With his fiery oratory he began to accuse me of wishing that he, he the savior of Rome, the greatest orator the world has ever produced, a world renowned philosopher, a valuable contributor to literature, and last but not least one of the few Romans who had lived a highly honest and clean life, had never lived. He haughtily asked me to defend myself. I was speechless. In glowing colors he set forth his virtues, and told of the great orators of modern times who were his pupils, Pitt, Burke, Gladstone. Everett. Webster, and many more. At this he unfolded his arms, turned his right one toward me and pointed a long, bony finger threateningly at me, saying, “And then the audacity of you, a mere school hoy. a know-nothing, an idler, studying as little as possible, to wish that 1. Cicero, had never lived.” He slowly approached me and when he had laid his hand on my shoulder, I gave a great start, and awoke from my trance to find my mother, her hand on my shoulder, shaking me and telling me to wake up and go to bed, for it was after ten o’clock.

I guess he had on carpet slippers, and with his feet on the table smoking an old clay pipe.” Miss Warning: “Now you young people mustn’t get discouraged so easily.

She said: ‘Will you pull the bell for me?’ I said: ‘You surprise me: can’t you see I can’t pull the bell? But I’ll pull the rope That rings the hell—there’s a difference I hope.’ “She looked at me with a frosty stare, And then I blushed to the roots of my hair, When she spoke to me she said: ‘Oh, well! I see each end of the car has a bell. I would rather do it myself by far. Than have yen stop the wrong end of the car.’ ” [851 % ftctocrlr One June afternoon as I was slowly sauntering along the shore of Lake Mendota, I came to a shady nook, which looked so inviting I could not resist the invitation it offered. Dropping down upon the grass, I gazed across the calm, beautiful lake, and felt how good it was to be school and care free for even a short time. Then, giving myself up to the impulse of the moment. 1 sank back, and closed my eyes. Suddenly I was startled at hearing a wee voice exclaim petulantly, “Oh, dear! I’m just sick of having to be proved, and proved, and proved, and having so many people make mistakes about even my name. ” Somewhat surprised, 1 hurriedly sat up, and there, at mv feet, lay a tattered geometry. I wondered if the sound might possibly come from that, and as T turned the book over, it fell open at page one hundred and ninety, and out hopped a dainty little right triangle. It laughed, as it noticed the astonishment which I could not conceal, and as if in response to my half frightened, “Why!” it laughed merrily, saying. “I’m perfectly harmless. The only thing the matter with me is the blues, and if you’ll let me confide my woes, I’ll soon be happy. Many, many, many years ago, Pythagoras first discovered me, and also found that by putting a square on my hy-pothenuse, it would be equal to the sum of the two squares attached to my legs. It sounds silly, doesn’t it? For a long time little was thought of me, until T was gathered up. with sime more helpless figures. Some day we intend to revolt, and overthrow all those who put us in books, except Mr. Schutts, for as he is a Normalite, he doesn’t know any better. I have been confined thus for years, much to my discomfort and to the trials and tribulations of all seniors, in the High School, who labor over me into the small hours of the night. When I consider all the hours and energy that are spent on me. and the loss of many hours of sleep that 1 cause, it makes me feel almost dismal. Therefore, if—” With a jump I arose, thinking I heard the period bell ringing, but I soon discovered that it was only the University clock striking the hour of six. Vera Virginia Mutchler, ’07.

We sway and totter ’midst the wave, We struggle hard our bark to save, To keep her from the shore and rocks. To keep her clear of deadly shocks. Four years, upon life’s training ship, We’ve toiled and tugged to get a grip Upon the seaman’s charts and laws; Four years we’ve toiled without a pause; Four years we’ve thought, and sketched, and planned, As students, worked with heart and hand. Four years we’ve toiled upon our ship, At last completed. For our trip We’ll anchor hoist at break of day; No more in harbor shall we stay, With sails unfurled, all canvas spread, And naught we know that we should dread. Reside the helm we take our stand. And guide our bark with trembling hand Past breaker, bar. and sandy shoal: On life's great ocean do we roll. And separate, and drift away To meet again on some far day.

Wisconsin No. 0 After many weeks of patient ami unceasing effort on the part of the most clear headed and far seeing pupils of the High School, the Board of Education has been compelled by public opinion to abolish the infamous practice of saturating the engine house and its vicinity with Hoot Beer. The Board contested every step blit, by the united efforts of the pupils, teachers, and the Police Gazette, was forced to discontinue a course which would have ultimately led the scholars cither to the sample rooms on the market or to untimely graves. A short sketch of this scandal will be of interest to (hose who are not familiar with our columns. Early in the winter the Board of Education adopted the nefarious custom of sprinkling the floor of the old engine house, which is now occupied by the seniors of the High School, with Root Beer. The result must be imagined rather than described. Modern journalism is unable to por-1 tray the scenes which followed. They must he judged by the examples which are here given. The intoxicating fumes of the liquor compelled Bessie Dexter and Dorothy Frankenburger to fall down stairs, to the irreparable injury of the foot mat at the bottom. The fuddled minds of the pupils were tumble to comprehend the questions asked by the teachers and to this is laid the low marks received during the term just past. The ambulance, which, with the patrol, is kept just under the school rooms, was so filled with the fumes that many of those who rode in it became sick ami bad to be taken to the hospital, from which, alas, some never returned. To whose door must these deaths he laid? Those who rode in the patrol, it was observed, were affected differently. The fumes of the Root Beer were so strong that the walls of the school could not restrain it and, breaking through, it filled the cellar of the State Journal. From this it was pumped by the fire engine “Andrew Proudfit. It was noted that the Root Beer was so powerful that the engine was never able to work more than five minutes at a time without being repaired. This, then, was the state of affairs when the Police Gazette, like Itora-tius of obi. stepped into the breach determined to hold the bridge and heat back the saloon element. The State Journal rebuked the Democrat for its silence in the recent gas scandal. Let us not forget that it itself was mute in this crisis; from what motives we will leave the public to judge. Ably seconded by the pupils of the High School, who in turn were urged on, as by one voice, by the teachers and the patrol and ambulance horses, the Gazette appealed to the Board, in the name of humanity, to stop the evil. Their reply was to send a delegate to the school. On his return he reported that no one had yet succumbed; only Helen Schram being prostrated. Thereupon the dose was doubled, with the result that Miss McClernan was forced to give up part of her I classes to the intrepid Miss Anna Moseley. Finding it useless to appeal to the Board, the Police Gazette laid its case before the public and the roar of condemnation reached even the ears of the Board,, who cow- 199] ered, dreading the attack of the mob and the hang-man’s noose. Before vengeance could be taken, ( however, the Board promised to discontinue the practice and also de-1 dared that it should never be re-, newed. Appeased by this, the citizens of Wisconsin returned to their homes, secure in the knowledge that I from that day forth the pupils of, the Madison High School would breathe the pure air of heaven which, no liquor trust has a right to with-! hold. ------------------ SOCIAL ITKMS. Christmas Party. Mr. Sauthoff entertained the pupils of the Cicero class on December 21, at his lodge on Webster street. The chief feature of the entertainment was a Christmas tree, laden1 with Christinas decorations and beau-1 tifully illuminated with candles. The) library table was piled high with, gifts, consisting of stationery and, interesting books. These Santa Claus . distributed as soon as the guests had assembled. Mr. S. had prepared an! interesting program for his guests, I but so much time was taken up by I the first number, that, when it was i barely completed, the hour for dc-1 parture had come, all too soon. The happy guests departed, voting their host the best of entertainers. .Ti mor Party a Success. Miss Zilisch at Home. Miss Zilisch wishes to announce that she will continue, for the coming year, her receptions at 12:15 o’clock in the Doty School. These receptions are highly beneficial, as the hostess delivers interesting and instructive lectures to her guests. Noted Lecturer Speaks. Mr. Jahr has been giving daily lectures on Physiology in the Auditorium at the Library. Large numbers of the High School pupils and teachers attend these lectures, which are somewhat weird, as “Billy Bones”’ is often among the guests. Miss Gladys Sutherland will entertain at a “white elephant party”’ next Saturday evening. The event promises to be a great success. The invited guests are Messrs. Rae Bell, Gerald Tappins, Hugh Bliss, Eddie Babcock, Joe Alexander, Homer Critten, and Thomas Hutson. (Misses. Frances Minch and Grace Basker-ville.) Mr. Elmer Lorch will entertain next Friday evening at a “red, white-and blue party.” The girls are requested to wear white shoes with blue bows and the boys red neckties.. The Junior Party was held last night in the Colonial Ilall. Class spirit was shown by the large attendance of Juniors. Although no outsiders were permitted to attend, the hall was crowded to its limit. It is hoped that the other classes will follow the excellent example set by the class of 1908. Miss McClernan Entertains. Miss Vera Virginia Mutchler wilT spend the summer and autumn months in the Philippines. The greater portion of her stay will be in Jlo-ilo.

And said as Miss McG. does, “Maidens, give me your ear. I want you all to know, dears. Before it is too late, In this coming 1907 You all should graduate.

Pressed his hands to his brow; One glance from his glassy eye And the startled whisper, “Now.” As the last stroke of the hour Rang out upon the breeze, There fell on our startled ears A tiny infant sneeze. As amazed we turned, we saw Peeping in at the door The dear cherub 1907— 1906 was then no more. Our beloved 1907, Four years we’ve awaited you, And despite our difficulties To you we have been true.

School is real! school is earnest! Graduation is our aim; Dunce thou wert, to dunce returnest Won’t be said of us in vain. Not enjoyment and not leisure Is our destined end or way, Though we work, yet each tomorrow Brings longer lessons than today. Tasks are long and time is fleeting, Though our hearts are stout and brave, Still, like all our predecessors, We are growing staid and grave. Trust no future, howe’er pleasant. Get your problems every one, Work, work in the living present, For to Hunk is not much fun. Lives of graduates all remind us, We can all get through at last, And departing, leave behind us Records of a “brilliant past.” Records that perhaps another, Toiling up school’s slipper}' lane, A forlorn and stranded brother, Seeing shall take heart again. Let as then be up and doing, With a heart for any fate, Still achieving and still hoping That in June we’ll graduate.
