They were—yes, certainly, the glorious class of 1911, M. H. S. How we awoke at four-thirty that eventful day; how we struggled with rebellious hair-ribbons and “boiled collars”; how long and diligently mother scrubbed our faces; and hew we finally arrived at seven-thirty to await patiently the opening hour, is too long a story to be told here. Suffice it to say that at last the great doors of knowledge were opened and we entered to browse in the “verdant pastures fair.’ The usual speeches by Supt. Dudgeon and Prof. Hutchison were omitted, perhaps because we seemed to have no need for them. It is not necessary, however, for us. the class of 1911, to boast concerning our ability. There is ample proof that we are the most brilliant freshman class that ever entered M. 11. S. Ask Miss Warning— she will tell one that never before have hvr 4 o’clock teas been so popular or so well attended; ask Miss Clark —never have there been so many Thursday night declamatory meetings; ask Mrs. Jenkins—never has there been such a demand for red ink in ad her work in English. It. is not in our studies alone that we excel. In social events we have been very active though we were deprived of many of the means of entertainment enjoyed by upper-classmen. Thus has passed the first year of our existence and, after the vacation, we shall be ready to return—this time to the new school building. [151 £ o{ f)omore Via mctvn FIRST SEMESTER.

[16] ot f)0morr Clam faint r� The history of the class of 1910 is not like that of those spoiled and petted children, the other classes. Their goings out and comings in have always been effected with decorum, and under the eyes of affectionate guardians. If they have excelled, surely it was not without reason. But, like Dickens’ poor Jo, this class has lacked all such advantages, and, without a permanent abiding-place, has been forced to take refuge with strangers. Nobody seemed to want him and he was never encouraged to stay long in one place. lie was accused of corrupting the innocent Fourth Warders under whose roof he timidly and unwillingly sought shelter, lie was complained of by neighbors because he taught their children to snowball with a too fatally accurate aim. He was not even permitted to play on the railroad tracks, to dabble his feet in the lake, or sit on the Burchell’s stone wall. He was driven off from lawns and sidewalks by Policemen Cosgrove and Zil-isch, who jingled little bells to warn him that he was on forbidden territory. He was turned off from streets and out of buildings, and was not even allowed in the Children’s Room in the Public Library without a pennit from the chief of police. He was censured for being early, and condemned for being late; locked in when he ate his dinner, and locked out when he had none to eat. He was regaled with broken bits of German, fragments of Latin, tough scraps of History and hard nubbins of English, while comfortable odors of boiled onions and com beef and cabbage of more fortunate mortals were wafted up to him. It is hard to say what would have become of him if occasionally a certain worthy confectioner, whom he called The “Pal,” had not given him shelter on rainy days. Even the dentist’s chair or a hard seat in the comer drug store seemed hungry after his wanderings. If some friendly Snagsby stopped to give him a kind word, a constable of the dread Detective Bucket would appear with, “My instructions are that you are to move on!” And when, like Jo, he inquired “Where!” got the familiar reply, “My instructions don’t go to that. They are that this boy is to move on.” [17] Vet. he scarcely seemed to merit such treatment, and only once did he show signs of great viciousness, when, half-starved, he made a raid on an apple wagon. The terrible retribution that followed effectually prevented a repetition of the performance. According to all Sunday school novels, the most promising beginning for a brilliant and striking career is in the gutter. When was there a Carnegie who never wheeled a dump cart, a Lincoln who never split rails, or an Edison who never sold matches. In spite of the fact that his self-made motto, B2, is hard to live up to,—-it seems rather to be “move on,”—he comforts himself with the saying, “per aspera ad astra,” and, hitching his wagon to a star, struggles not only to “move on,” hut “onward and upward.” 18 [19] S«n(or Via Mccrm FOR THE WHOLE YEAR.

F20] junior eta fa tutor? “Class histories are ever dry affairs” is a good, orthodox way to begin one. Of other histories we admit this is but the sad, the inevitable truth. But could this be true of any history attempted by 1909? Never! After viewing our vast array of humorists, our artists, and our members whose literary ability is chronicled over the whole state, no one can say 1909’s history is dull. In 1905, our distinguished class was passed on to a long-suffering principal and faculty by an equally long-suffering band of ward school teachers, who were glad to be rid of pupils who showed such extraordinary wisdom. After many unsuccessful explorations we reached the Main Room, where we listened to the usual words of advice from Supt. Dudgeon and Prin. Hutchison. During our first year, some of us engaged in literary society work, but the majority strove to arm ourselves with the learning with which we were to stab in our sophomore year. At last the task was over; our first year was done. Some of us, His true, lingered fondly over the dear old first year studies, but, for most of us, they were finished. When we returned to school the next year, we found great changes had been wrought. The ancient haunts of flunk-cards and “written lessons” had disappeared. We w’ere free to dispose ourselves about the city from “fire-barn” to library and back to the city hall. It was during this year that we held our first class election, in which Fred Goff was elected president. A pin committee was likewise appointed and a pin chosen, which we all agree is second to none in M. H. S. Our second year, however, cannot be called exciting and we eagerly turn to our third year—the year of the “Prom.” This event was certainly a brilliant success and great credit is due the committees in charge. Further, wonder of wonders, there were Juniors there! Such evidence of class spirit had been heretofore unknown in the annals of our school. Now our class is at the close of its third year. Truly wonderful three years they have been, and a truly wonderful class has made those three years distinguished. If the new’ High School is finished by next fall we shall have been the only class to have passed through the three phases in the school life—the old school period, the period of “eternal wandering,” and the period of the Madison Renaissance, ushered in by the completion of the new High School building.

Oh, no! on the contrary, the teachers and pupils held their breath in awe, for they realized that at last a wonderful class had arrived, one that was to surpass all others; and surpass them it did. The teachers were not disappointed even in our first year. Was this year tedious and trying, as all classes had pictured it to us? How could it be when even the haughty sophomore did not laugh at us, but rather, admired and tried to follow in our footsteps. In our honor a new system of study was introduced and higher standings were required in all classes. Our second year, however, was not destined to go on as smoothly as the first, for when half the year was over a terrible calamity overtook us, the memorable high school fire. It was with heavy hearts that we who survived went back into the wet and smoky building to resume our studies. As we never quite recovered from the effects of that year, our class-meetings were few and far between, and one president sufficed for our needs. By the next fall we were built up in mind and spirit and prepared to make up for the last year’s depression. The dear old high school was torn down and in its place faint signs of a new high school could be seen. This year was one of wandering; from city hall to fire-barn and from fire-barn to the library. The school board must have taken our motto, “Omnia per gradus ” literally, for we certainly had steps to climb. This roaming, however, did not depress us. Class meetings were held and class spirit shown; especially in our “Junior Prom,” which was made up so completely of Juniors that no outsiders were allowed. Between work and pleasure, this year was one of the happiest of our course. Alas, our hopes for a new high school from which to be graduated were not to be realized. A second year of wandering was promised, when we, Seniors, were assigned to the Nolden Building. We, nevertheless, bore up cheerfully and soon overcame our disappointment [25] when we saw our recitation rooms (for at least there were no horses beneath us). With pity ami condescension we looked down upon the underclassmen as they noisily stampeded down the stairs, talked loudly in the halls or meddled with the fires in the stoves, for what Senior would act that way? Our work progressed amazingly; the teachers praised us, and in return for our good work granted us the privilege of having a Senior banquet, and a Commencement ball, the last functions of our school year. It was with much regret and sadness that the teachers saw our class graduated, for, thought they, “When comes such another?’ [26] Helas! Voici les tristes join’s! And the M. H. S.

Skta ou of 1807 The opening season of 1907 found Madison High School in possession of much unknown, untried, and green material, and forced to face a new style of football. Those connected with the Madison High School football team naturally felt great uncertainty. It seemed, when one viewed the men trying for positions, as if there was in them the basis for a winning team. These men were unacquainted with the game as played under the new rules, how'ever. Improvement was shown in the minor games, and this rejoiced the supporters of the team. The Evansville game first sized up the real strength of the eleven. Without a coach, without a captain, depending on former experience alone, the men fought as best they could. Lack of confidence was noticeable, but in a few minutes our men discovered that Evansville had weak points. Time and again the Madison boys pierced the Evansville line, only to lose the ball on a fumble or on account of violating some one of the new rules. Thus both teams battled for a victory which never came, for the game ended in neither side scoring. The Madison team left the field a sorer and a wiser lot, fully realizing their need of a coach. The Board of Education made Mr. Driver coach, and the Madison High School football team was again mentioned in the leading newspapers of the state. For two weeks the men were drilled in punting and signal work, and before long the offense and defense improved to a marked degree. This improvement was very evident in the game with Lodi. Lodi realized that she had a formidable rival and was at her best, but Madison held her own and scored whenever she was so inclined. The game was clean from start to finish, and, when the whistle blew, Madison had downed her rival by a score of 52 to 0. After defeating Lodi, Madison still had four difficult games scheduled. Little was known of the strength of these opponents. Monroe was defeated by a score of 18 to 12. It should be mentioned that this was the first time in three years the Madison goal had been crossed, a record that is worthy of some consideration. Closely following Monroe came Fort Atkinson. This team from the Fort came to Madison with the cry, “We are champions!” Madison realized that she was to meet a worthy foe, a foe that would require championship form to beat. Madison won. What a joy it was to the students and people of Madison to see these rivals go down in defeat. [52] Madison not only beat them by a score of 14 to 2, but also banished all Fort Atkinson's hopes of winning the state championship. The Sparta game, following the Fort Atkinson game, was to decide the championship of the state. The fighting spirit was up in both teams, but it availed little for Madison. Sparta outweighed our team, and outplayed us in almost every department of the game. She won a great victory with a score of 27 to 4. Madison, however, put up a plucky fight, and fought bitterly to the last second. The next week was spent in secret work. Men were tried in different positions, and cn the eve of the Beloit game an entirely new lineup was chosen to represent Madison. Madison beat Beloit by a score of 20 to 5. Thus the season ended, but not in disappointment and discouragement. Madison can not always have a championship team. She can, nevertheless, maintain the spirit of her old-time slogan. “There are no quitters in Madison!” Alfred Buser. The original lemon joke found by Goff iu his excavations in Ancient History f53l Track nti UtU One can not help feeling optimistic over Madison High’s track prospects for this year. The class meet, held Saturday, May 16, brought out two encouraging facts: first, that more than usual interest is taken in track sports this spring, and, second, that we have a number of excellent sprinters to represent the school in the state interscholastic meet which will be held June 6 at Camp Randall. The new inter-scholastic eligibility rule deprives us of the skill and experience of Buser in the weight events, a department in which we are rather weak this year, but hard and faithful practice from now' on may develop hammer and discus men. In the jumps, pole vault, and hurdles we have men who should take points if the records of last year are not broken. Last March we entered a relay team in the University of Wisconsin indoor meet. We took second place in competition with the strong four representing University High School of Chicago and the plucky race our four inexperienced boys ran against the experienced Chicago sprinters gratified every loyal supporter of the school. The gymnasium in the new high school building will give us an advantage next year that we have lacked in years past, and this, together with the fact that we are to have an instructor of physical culture this coming year, should enable us to turn out track teams that will he able to compete upon equal terms with the best teams of the state. Heretofore, we have not given to this form of sport, the attention that it deserves but for the future present indications are brighter. Melvin J. White. [54] D( - IE=„-. IE p. fips. O iq.hu zauon . )[==) [55] 3 I ti m u t The Madison High School Alumni Association was organized in 1900. The object of the association is to strengthen and preserve the bonds of friendship among the members, and to 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 transacted. All alumni of the High School are eligible for membership. Each year the association tries to hold a banquet in order to bring the members together. [56] We % ot Acljool dretjcmerii Three years ago a few High School musicians met together before a football game to arouse school enthusiasm by their playing. The meetings were continued and the present orchestra is the result. Last year, owing to the effective work of Mr. John C. Glaum, the work was brought to a very high standard, which has been kept up this year under the direction of Mr. William A. Munsell. The work of the orchestra has been greatly hampered through its lack of members. Because of this, much of the work done last year has, of necessity, been discontinued. This is especially true of the concert work. Last June a concert was successfully undertaken and it was hoped that it cculd be made an annual event. This year, however, there has been (nly the one public appearance—at the Literary Society-Forum Joint Debate. The members of the orchestra at present are: Director—Mr. William A. Munsell. Cornet—Hugh Bliss. William Schenk. Violin— Joseph Bollenbeck, Colbert Sullivan. Trombone— Robert Harrington. Piano — Eugene Casserly. Drams—-Thomas Hutson. Why he hears the M. H. S. Orchestra [57] m Ttyt 2fatttftaitf Ciut The Nautilus Club, the girls’ literary society, was organized in 1899. The aims and purposes of the club arc three-fold; mutual help and improvement, increase of a knowledge of literature and development of critical power. During the fall term of 1907, Agnes Davis was president. The work for this term consisted of book-reports, biographies, stories and current events. Special attention was given to original productions. In October the annual reception for High School girls and teachers was given at the Congregational Church. A feature of the evening’s entertainment was a shadow play, entitled “The Ballad of Mary Jane.” At the invitation of Lucy Kayne, the club enjoyed a Hallowe’en party at the Kayne cottage near Hoboken Beach. In spite of rain and minor mishaps the girls had the best time imaginable. A spread in the physics “lab” pleasantly closed the term. For the winter term Agnes Davis was re-elected president. Selections from Stoddard’s lectures composed the greater part of the programs. Joint meetings were held with the Boys’ Literary Society, and with Philomathia, the new society for girls. Both meetings proved beneficial to all the societies. In February «a valentine sleighride party was given. After the ride the girls went to Rebecca Flint’s home, where they spent a pleasant evening. In the latter part of the term [59] a gymnasium class was formed, which met once a week at the Baptist Church gymnasium, with Miss Althea Brown as teacher. Although this was an entirely new undertaking for the club, it proved both beneficial and enjoyable. Mabel Swerig was elected president for the spring term. The work this term was lighter than during the previous term. Reports of the best magazine articles formed the principal part of the programs. In April the gymnasium class gave an open meeting, which closed their gymnasium work for the year. The annual banquet at Keeley’s on June sixth closed a most successful year for the club. During the year 1907-1908 the Nautilus Club has grown in membership. At the close of the year it comprises fifty-one members. The range of its activities has been widened and it has become a more vital fact r in the life of each member. Under improved conditions, with a new building, a club room, a fine gymnasium, the club may become a more useful adjunct to the Madison High School. The M. H.

Uittvav SbotUtp The Literary Society is closing: its fifteenth year in a very satisfactory condition. The meetings for the past two years have been held in the city hall. Every week some prominent question is debated. This is followed by a topic, extemporaneous speech, or music. Occasionally. the program is varied by substituting an evening of recitations. The public events have been a joint program with the Nautilus Club, a public meeting, a mock trial, and a joint debate with the Forum, in all of which the members have gained much. A few social events, the most important of which were a sleigh ride to Sun Prairie, and a supper at the home of one of the members, served to promote good fellowship. Owing to the fact that all the teachers were very busy, the society has suffered somewhat from the lack of regular assistance from the faculty. Recently, however, the services of Mr. Douglas E. Anderson and, later, of Mr. George C. Matthews, prominent debaters at the University, have been secured. Their co-operation has made the programs during the spring term very' successful. The chief aims of the society are to train its members to talk freely before an audience, and to give them a fair idea of the important problems of the day. Experience in the use of a library is another advantage gained from the work. The society also furnishes a center for high school spirit and its members are found in every field of school activity. A recommendation from the faculty and satisfactory trial work on two debates are required before a candidate is admitted to active membership. Even after initiation anyone who does poor work, or proves himself otherwise undesirable, is promptly expelled. The membership has increased greatly during the year, and the new' members are doing excellent work. When the society mom in the new building is available, the Weekly gatherings will he much more pleasant and profitable. Again, with the whole school in one building there will be better opportunity for all pupils to become acquainted with the society’s work. Extensive plans have been made for the future and next year promises to be the most active in the history of the society. [64] $ ♦ ft. ftftfrar? Aocictj? Officers. FALL TERM. President—Harry Geisler.

The membership, which is composed of hoys from all classes, is limited to thirty-five in addition to the senior members. To keep out undesirable members a short, period of probation is required, which makes it almost impossible for an idler to become a member. The programs usually consist of a debate, a topic, and a recitation or extemporaneous speech, and are open to the public. After the short recess which follows the program the society goes into closed session, when it transacts business, and thereby gives its members an opportunity to gain a knowledge of parliamentary procedure. The history of the Fomin is short but it is full of successes. In 1906 the society won a unanimous decision in a joint debate with Evansville High School. In 1907 the society arranged an oratorical contest in which the whole school was represented, and in which the society’s representative won first place. In 1908 the Forum won a unanimous decision in a joint debate with the M. H. S. Literary Society. [691 During the past year the Forum has endeavored to increase its membership and has taken in sixteen new members. Owing to the growth of the society, members appear less frequently on the programs. It is believed, however, that thorough preparation for a few appearances will produce better results than more hasty preparation for a greater number of appearances. The society also has several times substituted for the regular program a program of topics, readings, recitations and ext empora neons speeches. The aims of the Forum are similar to those heretofore pursued,—a larger and better society, better prepared and more interesting programs, and finally, active participation in joint debates and oratorical contests.

Early in March. 1908, such a society was organized by members of the first year class, twenty-eight of whom became charter members. Admission to membership is dependent upon scholarship. The object of the society is three fold, to stimulate scholarship, to elevate character, and to cultivate friendship. The subjects of study are persons and places of historic interest at home and abroad, with liberal use of the stereoptican. The society now numbers thirty-five. All teachers of the Madison High School may be honorary members. The officers for the present term are: Preside n t—Ma rgaret Updegra ff. Vice-Prcsidcnt—Mary Sayle. Secretary—Ruth Frish.

The result of their planning and discussion was “The Yellow Journal.” This little magazine has made its bi-weekly appearance regularly through the year. It has offered a means for the exchange of the best thought of the pupils , it has given recognition to the best things in our school life; and it has aimed at worthy ideals. For next year the “Journal” seeks the same cordial support which it has received during these “its green and salad days.” EDITORIAL STAFF. Milo Lynch. Editor. Erwin Koch, Managing Editor.

I flung myself into a roomy chair, which stood near the fire, and cuddled up in its depths, wishing I had nothing else to do but dream. “Oh, you horrid thing,” I said, glancing impatiently at a school hook lying on the library table near by, “always before my eyes to remind me of the lessons to he learned. Well, I’m so tired I won’t study until after dinner, that’s time enough,” and settling myself still more comfortably I fell a-dreaming about the summer vacation when there wouldn’t be any lessons to interfere with my enjoyment. “I'll inform you that I have feelings as well as you,” said a voice near me, “and I don’t enjoy being called a ‘horrid thing’ and the many other names you call me.” T turned and looked about, trying to discover who had addressed me so indignantly, when I saw my algebra lying open at the page on which were the examples for the next day. The voice had evidently come from it. Owing to the fact that I had just read Irving’s essay on “The Mutability of Literature,” I was not very much surprised and prepared myself to enjoy the conversation. “Oh! I beg your pardon,” I answered apologetically, “I had no intention of hurting your feelings.” “And that is not all of my grievance,” continued my friend, Mr. Algebra. “Yesterday when you were coming home from school you carelessly dropped me on the wet sidewalk and when your companion asked if I were wet, you answered, ‘Oh, no! I only wish it w’ere; then it wouldn’t be so dry.’ I can’t help how T was written, can I?” “No,” I answered, quite at a less to pacify indignant Mr. Algebra, “I don’t suppose you—” Then as the ridiculous side of the conversation occurred to me, I laughed out loud, much to the amusement of my sister who had just entered the room. “Why! I do believe I’ve been dreaming,” I said, as I saw my algebra on the table just as I had left it, then trying to excuse my little nap, I added, “The air must have made me sleepy.” “Yes,” replied my sister drily, “evidently it must have.” 1 6] jfamiUar Shafting Mis Moseley: “Isn’t this narrative?” Miss Warning: “You people will have to get to work.” Miss Kleinpel: “Haben Sie Fehler gehort?” Mr. White: “You will have to wait a minute.

Or if we wished to learn Chinese, We’d just go out and shake the trees. And grammar then in all the towns Would grow with proper verbs and nouns; And in the garden there would be Great bunches of geography; And all the passers-by would stop And marvel at the knowledge crop.

[1031 fH«ntr(-?o Zinoto Why is Miss Caroline Young? Why does Oakley Waite? Why is Sidney Gay? Why is Herbert Little? Why is Mary Brown? Why doesn’t Miss Sue Tull is? Why does Gordon Walker? What is it that we all will love, When we have soared to realms above? What will we prize above all tilings When we have donned our golden wings? IT tell you, but I thought you’d guess, “The Class of ’08, M. H. S.” Physics problem: If the temperature of Mr. White’s room is 95 degrees, and of Miss Warning's room 40 degrees, and Mr. White talks loud enough to lie heard in Miss Warning’s room, and Miss Warning shuts the door, how ranch history will her class learn? I know you won’t believe it. But yet ’tis really so, The other day in Latin, Our Dana said, “Don’t know.” The words themselves were simple. But, being in Dana’s use, They fell like a bolt of thunder Straight from the throne of Zeus. When Miss--------told one of her classes a joke, she noticed a boy, who, by tlie way. was taking the subject a second time, with a solemn and sober face, while the rest of the class was roaring with laughter. Turning to him. she said, “Mr. P., why didn’t you laugh at that joke?” “I laughed at that joke last year, Miss------came back the answer. [104] Sbtniov'a Hjimrnt Backward, turn backward! O, Time, in thy flight, Make me a Soph again, just for tonight! Give me a seat in tho Madison High, The place 1 had in the days gone by. I am footsore and weary of trotting around, Weary of places the School Board has found. Backward! O, time, in thy hurrying flight, Make me a Soph again, just for tonight! Mr. White: “Any further questions on the lesson?” Mr. Bell: “Which was considered the better. General Grant or General Thomas?” Mr. White: “Well. I don’t know, hut most critics agree that Lee was the better leader.” The members of the hoard may scratch with their pens Till the ends of their fingers are sore, But someone is sure to remark with great scorn, “Rats! How stale, I have read that before.” HISTORY RECITATION. “The English had more ships but the Americans were better at dodging, so the Americans won most of the battles.” “About 5% of the people in the country lived in the cities.” Mr. White: “Tell us about George Washington.” “George Washington was the first President of the United States. He never told a lie: T guess that’s all I know.” Mr. White: “TIow many remember the panic of ’94?” Brilliant Pupil: “I do. That was the time when Madison was doomed to sink and everybody took their money out of the banks.” The rain it raineth every day Upon the just and the unjust fellows; But chiefly on the just, because The unjust steal the just’s umbrella. [105] Clubs that have recently become prominent in the Madison High School: 1. The Harbingers of Spring. The girls—members. 2. The 11 O’clock Pie Club. All brave people eligible. 3. The Whistling Chorus. The boys in the auditorium at the 10 o'clock period. 4. St. Patrick’s Day Club. The freshmen. 5. Mr. Surrey’s Social Club. All bright Juniors welcomed. A freshman did algebra hate. And met with the usual fate ; He did bellow and boo, To Prof, made ado, And was told for a year he must wait. Miss Moseley: “Explain the simile in lines 469-475.” After many stabs were registered, the following explanation was given: “I think it means that just as a snake darts forth its tongue, so did Pyhrrus.” Buser is a hearty lad, and loves a football game: As captain of our team this year, he's won no little fame. When rooters fill the grandstand ’round, and lie’s on our eleven, Opposing forces lose their ground, and we think we’re in heaven. Miss Young: “Amphitryo sprang gesehwind auf und nahm sein Sell wort, welches auf eineni Xagel hinter dem Bett hing.” M. K.: “Amphitryo sprang quickly up, went behind the bed and hung himself on a nail. Here’s to the faculty, Long may they live; And much shorter lessons To us may they give. Miss M.

Miss Dieterich (translating): “And now for the third time, the horns of the moon became full with light.” Miss Moseley: “Have you any idea how often the moon becomes full!” Miss Dieterich: “About once a month, I guess.” A little piece of rubber, A little drop of paint, Makes a low-marked paper Look as if it ain’t. Pupil: “I don’t understand convection.” Mr. Surrey: “Convection! Hot air!” Miss Moseley: “Isn’t there an interrogation point at the end of that sentence!” Mr. Daley: “It's a question mark.” They were sauntering down the library stairs, Chattering about just trifling affairs, When, all of a sudden. Miss Murphy appeared. And in less than no time the stairs were cleared. Miss W. (after explaining problem): “Now do you see, Mr. II-m-n!” Mr. H.: “No, I don't.” Miss V.: “Well, I don’t suppose you do. Look at the blackboard, not at me. Do I look like a problem?” Miss A.: “What is a superanuated spinster!” Mr. D.: “A spinster is something on a spinning wheel.” Mr. White: “What was the hemp used for?” “Jerry” T.: (Aloud) “Hope” (aside) “cigars.” U07] Friiulein had a yellow cur. The cur possessed a flea; Thus everywhere that Friiulein went, The flea was sure to be. Pupil (describing the capture of Babylonia) : “The army walked right in—” Class (audibly) : “and turned around and walked right out again.” John: “Say. was it cold in the room where you had your exam this morning?” Tom: “Cold! My, the exam was stiff!” Senior: “I’ll see you at 4.” Junior: “What for?” Senior: “4 P.M.” Win. lladfield (debating in the “Lit”) : If the legislature can be gerrymandered, why can't the people?” I’ve ex in English, same in all; 1 heard him gently hiss I'd like to find the man who said That ignorance is “Bliss.” Mary Ford (translating) : “And beseeching him she seized Zeus by the knees and chucked him under the chin.” Miss McClernan: “You may stop there.” Teacher: “What are you laughing at. John?” John: “I wasn’t laughing at all. My complexion merely puck- ered.” Once upon a time there were two pals who were “two souls with but a single thought,” and that thought was to go as early as might be and stay as long as possible at a certain grog shop. At length one of them was made sheriff. Tie had scarcely taken his oath of office when he rushed to his favorite resort, found his pal there, and arrested him. saying: “It’s not as Oi hate vez, Moike, but dat Oi have de aut'ority.” So, dear friends, victims of harmless roasts, we assure you that it’s not as we hate yez, but as we have “de aut’ority.” [108] fflni Our work is done. And as we lay our pens aside, And our treasure to the world confide. Be it good or be it bad, We say, and saying it, are glad Our work is done. If some there are who criticize. We shall not feel a great surprise; No kind of work could mortal frame That some would not find words to blame. Tf anyone, in truth, complain That we have caused him needles pain, We can no more than say ’tis true That we have not intended to. One thing alone we make our boast, We have not stooped to vengeful roast. We hope our readers this will find, We've tried in all things to be kind. Our work is done. And as 'tis done, so let it stand, The first rough product of our hand. We leave our book alone with you. Repeating, as we say adieu, Our work is done.
