To treat successfully so great and growing a subject as the Alumni of Madison High School would require the serious efforts of an historian, in which office our Alumni Organization seems lacking. To one. however, who has even glanced at the later history of those who received their early training here, it becomes evident that Madison High School may well be proud of her Alumni. Since the opening of the high school in 1875, there have been over one thousand and eight hundred graduates. Only to mention those who have attained marked success would make a list too long to be written here. To mention a few would be scarcely fair to the many of equal importance who would necessarily be omitted. Many have entered the legal profession. and of those a goodly number have won positions of great honor; many have joined the medical fraternity and enrolled their names high among those who help their fellowmen, others have become teachers, engineers, publishers, electricians, ministers, missionaries —in short, few indeed are the callings in life to which our high school has not made numerous contributions. Many graduates, seemingly lost in obscurity, are really holding the highest position of all. that of the makers and keepers of homes. In view of all these facts, we feel that we do ourselves honor in dedicating the Tychobeiahn of 1912 to the Alumni of Madison High School. Tlhe Association The Alumni Association of the Madison High School was formed in June. 1900. The purpose of the organization is to promote friendship and good fellowship among all the high-school graduates and to advance the interests of the school. After the commencement exercises in June, the society meets for the purpose of electing the officers for the coming year, of paying the annual dues of ten cents, and of transacting other business. It has been the custom of the society to hold a banquet every year. These banquets are always well attended and the participants take great pleasure in talking over old times. The association now has a membership of about three hundred. Every high school graduate is eligible to the alumni association and may join at any time by paying the required dues. Contfndleir ces of a Receirnt Alumnus Oh where are those happy days when I was once an honored Senior in the high school? Gone are those days and all the joys they brought me. No longer do I command the respect of the lower classmen. No longer do they tremble with fear at my glance. I feel no more the hearty approval of the teachers and cheering comments of my parents. I see no more their admiring glances. Instead I am trampled underfoot. Upper classmen laugh at me. Officers stand on guard over me I am looked down on by everybody. Nobody admires or imitates me. Nobody respects me. For although I am an honored alumnus of M. H. S., I am simply a Freshman in the Varsity. THe AkmMS He’s a graduate of the M. H. S. An honor, great. 1 ween. But once he was a simple “Fresh. In color, brilliant green. But time passed on. as time will do At “Freshman did he scoff. His color changed to another hue. He, to a wiser Soph.” Another year passed o'er his head. His heart beat quick and loud. His color now was gorgeous red. And he a “Junior proud. Next year a “Senior” he became To yellow now he’s loyal And this, the turning of the lane. Found him a man and royal. Many other years have passed. A man he is. and true. He sticks to his colors, first and last. As Alumni should. Will you? Toasft fto ftlhie Airmans Here’s to the alumni of the good old M. H. S.. To those of little knowledge, and to those of great success, To those who arc in Madison, and also those who roam. And to every other person calling M. H. S. his home.

Chairman Beatrice Humiston, ’14 Origin of the name 4 ,Tyclhoberalhn, The first annual of the Madison High School was published in 1900 by a board consisting of ten members. Every year since that time, except in 1903, the students have produced an Annual. These publications have varied in the quantity and quality of material, but all are agreed that each Tychoberahn surpasses all the previous ones. After working for several months on the book, and finally completing it. the first board was at a loss for a name for the publication The following quotation from that first attempt tells of the choice: “At first we were puzzled at what to call our effort. Wc finally, however, decided on The Tychoberahn '— The board has accomplished a great work in a short time. May this be the first .but not the last. The word Tychoberahn is derived from two Indian words, tah-hah, the Winnebago word for lake, and tshopiwi, a word meaning four. One can easily see how these words were combined to form the word Taychoperah, the name which the savages gave to the four lake country about Madison. It is from this Indian word then, I a y-cho-per-ah. that the name for the yearly publication of the Madison High School was obtained. We hope that the 1912 Tychoberahn may surpass its predecessors and that it in turn may be surpassed by those that follow. eiraaor Class History It is surely a useless task which we set ourselves here, for what underclassman is to be found, so green, so unsophistictcd, and so ignorant of the progress of the world, that he deosn't already know the story of our class by heart. If there be such a one. let him open this page with reverence in his heart and depart a wiser youth. Strangely enough, our beginnings were quite like those of other classes. No proclamation or blaring of trumpets heralded our coming; on the contrary, to the ordinary observer—we stole into the sacred portals of learning a most timid bunch of freshmen. But the practiced eye might have discerned in us even at that early time signs of future greatness. Perhaps the atmosphere of the new building made especially to receive us was conductive to our growth. We shall not. however, attempt to explain it. but rather accept it as one of those natural phenomena of which we have a somewhat hazy remembrance in our Physics book. Realizing that athletics might be made a stepping stone to greatness, we proceeded to win the class basket-ball championship in our sophomore year, a feat which no other class has yet accomplished. The next year our girls as juniors duplicated the trick. The only reason that we have not won more class championships is that all our athletes are on the regulars covering themselves and the school with glory. The climax to our honors came in this, our last year, when we won the basket-ball championship of Wisconsin. Every man on that team boasts himself a member of the class of 1912. As was to be expected, in social affairs also our star has shone, at times blazed, most brightly. What Junior Prom” has ever eclipsed ours in point of brilliancy, beauty, and attendance? None, we say, and boldly challenge denial. Our Senior Informal, too, made bright the monotony of the term and now our Commencement Ball is going to be a fitting climax to a great year. Alas, space fails us. when we have completed the merest outline of one triumphant march from one victory to another. No wonder our dear but much abused instructors in the path of knowledge are beginning to wonder what they will ever do without us. Con exami and other fatal diseases during the four years have somewhat depleted our ranks, but we now pass out into the world, the greatest class in both quantity and quality ever graduated from M.

Results of our uplifting influence on both the upper and the lower classmen are evident; in fact, they are so evident that not a few Seniors, regretting that they did not aspire to equally high standards, are to prolong their association with us another year. Even the teachers vied with one another as to who should have the Juniors; and when they did get us, they were so unwilling to part with us that they were lavish with their pink teas. The Juniors have been, and are, the leaders of all high school functions, and are followed by all M. H. S. students, who deem it a rare and enviable honor to exist where they may bask in the light of our glory. When has M. H. S. ever before been attended by such athletes as belong to the class of ’13? We are the encyclopedia of learning, the code of etiquette, the authority on all social and athletic affairs; for the Juniors, ‘‘at whose sight, like the sun. all others withdiminished lustre show , are true-born leaders. So —a skyrocket for the class of 13! Junior iftnnlierHtjiji Alexander, Marion Alford. Elizabeth Andrews. Marie Andrews. Stella Bacon, Frances Barckham, Edward Barrett, Kathleen Bell.

I he freshman class is larger in numbers than any which has preceded it, and of this we feel justly proud. Last September, when we first came up to the high school to those joys to which we had been looking forward during all the past year, for some reason we were seized with sudden terror. Perhaps it was the stern looks of the teachers, perhaps the great number of older students that made us, who had planned to do such great things feel so timid and obscure. In the halls, we were always busy keeping out of the upperclassmen’s way. The part, however, that was hardest to bear, was seeing the sophomores take such keen enjoyment in our mistakes. The juniors and seniors were very kind to us, altho we did sec some of them smile when a few of our number were kept in close confinement on the balcony off the upper hall. We are contented, however, to be just freshmen. Jreafjnwtt JHemberSfitp Affholder, Walter Ahern, Margaret Alsmeyer, Louis Baker, Frances Baker, Alice Baker, Maude Baldwin, Percy Beaver.

They have organized committees to study the needs and interests of the club. These committees have worked to fulfill the demands through varied programs and assignments of subjects suited to the age and qualification of the members. They have tried to keep alive the spirit of mutual helpfulness. There have been programs on Shakespeare. Kipling, and Thackeray, papers on myths and legends, old-fashioned spell-downs, and debates on such subjects as reciprocity and coeducation. Attention has been given to the practical value of the critic’s report. Besides the more serious work of the club, parties have had due attention. The first entertainment was a Halloween party given for the Philomathia Society. An alumnae party, spreads, and dances followed, and the year was completed with the annual banquet. As a consequence, literary and social activities combined so as to add to the interest of the Madison High School, and to make of the Nautilus Club members “all around” girls.

The object of the society is threefold; to stimulate scholarship, to promote friendship, and to elevate character. The only requirement for admission to the club is scholarship. It has been thus far successful in all its aims. The standings of most of the members are creditable. Of the class graduated last year, both valedictorian and class historian were members of Philomathia. The programs have consisted of instructive papers on subjects of interest and importance. During the school year, the social side of life has not been neglected in so far as it was found necessary to promote friendship among the girls, not only of the club, but also of the whole school. The most important social affair was a matinee dance given in the gymnasium to all M. H. S. girls. It is the aim to make the Philomathia girls leaving Madison High School, worthy representatives in all departments of the school they love and honor.

KOkl M TIhe Foram The Forum is a literary society reorganized in January, 1911. Its programs this year have been largely debates and prepared and extemporaneous topics. Among some of the questions discussed in the debates arc: Shall foot-ball be abolished from the high school? Shall intcrscholastic athletics be replaced by intcrschool athletics? and. Shall Madison have a Commission Government?” Several meetings have been dcovted to parliamentary drill and forms of debating, both of which are valuable to a speaker. The work throughout has been ably directed by Mr. Teter. to whom the society owes much for the time and assistance he has so willingly given. In view of the excellent work done this year, the prospects are bright for the future of the Forum.

A few of the choruses which have been taken up are; And the Glory of the Lord. from Handel’s Messiah; Unfold Ye Portals. from Gounod’s ’’Redemption. and Soldiers Chorus. from Gounod's Faust. On Friday. December 22. a Christmas program was given in the auditorium, a number of Christmas carols having been prepared for the occasion. Music from a victrola was also enjoyed at that time. Mrs. Heath has been very much pleased with the interest the one hundred and thirty members of the Chorus have taken in the work, and her efforts with this large chorus, meeting three times a week, have been rewarded by splendid results.

Eugene Casscrly. Colbert Sullivan, and Murray McGowan left places which were hard to fill, for they had furnished not only talent but an altitude of willingness and interest which helped so much during the difficult period of organization. The orchestra has furnished music for several occasions; as. Athletic Mass Meetings. Auditorium Exercises. the Southern Wisconsin Teachers Association, and the joint concert with the Glee Clubs on March 22. Thinking that our existence should not consist entirely of work, we started a movement which resulted in a Christmas party held in the Domestic Science Department. This furnished a thoroughly good time and helped the members to become acquainted. The orchestra has in view a double object; first, to contribute an element to our high school which may be of pleasure and benefit to others; and secondly, to improve the members by co-operative drill and effort along a line which is at once beneficial and enjoyable. If this object has in anyway been reached, it is largely due to the splendid spirit with which the members have responded to all demands placed upon them.

D. Grindcll. In December of 1910 the present athletic organization was effected. The plan in brief is as follows: All pupils and teachers of the high school arc members of the athletic as- sociation: for such membership no fee is exacted. The legislative and executive work is done by the athletic board, which consists of six members three pupils appointed by the principal and three faculty members elected by the Association. The faculty member receiving the largest number of votes is chairman of the board. The board elects the other officers. Acting with the board, the principal, who holds the right of veto, completes the plan of organization. During the spring of 1911, the efforts of the board were largely turned towards the work of detailed organization. It was necessary to draw up a constitution and by-laws which would answer for the local needs, and this was accomplished by using the experience of similar organizations and the established customs of the Madison High School as a basis upon which to work. In the fall of 1911 the board with one exception was composed of new members. This board had before it the problem of modification rather than that of organization. Experience had proved the need for several changes and this, together w-ith some new problems which have come up. has constituted the work of the board up to date. April. 1912. The athletic work this year has been very satisfactory, not so much because of high scores and championship teams, as because the real purpose of athletics has been more nearly accomplished than ever before, by giving to a large group the opportunity to engage in clean, helpful sport under capable supervision, rather than by perfecting the work of a chosen few who. as a rule, need the exercise and training the least. Increased interest was shown in interclass football and basket-ball and was still further stimulated by the schedule arranged between the AH Class” teams and the smaller towns near Madison. While the results above mentioned have been very satisfactory, the financial situation furnishes less encouragement. The indebtedness of the association is due to the fact that the large amount of money spent for supplies and equipment has greatly exceeded the income derived from admission to home games. Football, which has in the past more than paid for itself, lost money. This is largely because we no longer have the privilege of using Camp Randall but must go to some place like Tenney Park, which is too far from the city to draw a large crowd. Basket-ball just about paid for the expenses of the visiting teams. Since no more admission was charged for the two games than when only the first team was to play, the carrying out of a schedule for the All Class” teams has cost additional money. It can readily be seen that so long as we continue our policy of furnishing all the games possible to the All Class” and Second teams, and have to struggle along with no athletic grounds of our own. our financial condition will constantly grow worse. Consequently, a new plan has been adopted which will go into force beginning with the track season of 1912 by which each pupil will be required to furnish his own equipment. Pupils, however, will be given advantage of the discount for which the association has arranged. Any deserving pupil who finds it impossible to buy his outfit will be given such assistance as the association sees fit. What funds may accumulate will all be spent in such a way as to make it possible for more pupils to engage in athletics. One other change of importance should be mentioned. The custom in the past has been to award an official ”M to those doing a stipulated amout of work in any of the various branches of athletics; but the offiviu! M” has varied with the sport. An old English letter has been awarded for track work, an ”M” within a circle for basket-ball, and a five-inch block M” for football. Feeling that it would be better to do away with so many different kinds of letters, the board passed a resolution providing for the adoption of one letter which shall stand for all branches of athletics. At the same time changes were suggested which will in the future make the winning of the official letter more difficult than it is at the present tinv� . In the past only the members of the championship class team received their numerals. Feeling that other things should be taken into account, the board has made it possible for any boy who works faithfully during the entire season and plays the required number of games to win his numerals whether or not his team happened to gain the largest number of victories. This places the stress upon faithful service and training rather than upon the winning of the interclass championship.

TKAM A IRevnew offclhie Football Season Although not State Champions, the Madison Football team was, by some of the best foot-ball critics in the State, ranked among the top-notchers.” With but three old men back last fall from the previous year, prospects for a winning team looked decidedly dubious. The material on hand was green and inexperienced; nevertheless, they were willing to learn and worked hard. The first game, with Richland Center, gave the rooters no criterion by which to judge the men. as Madison won easily by a score of 30 to 0. The next game with Deborest was the first real test. Every one recognized Tommy Martin as a capable coach; furthermore, it was Madison’s first game away from home. After one of the hardest kinds of a game Madison won 17 to 0, although pressed to the limit to do it. After this game the team developed rapidly under the coaching of Mr. Robbins and the able assistance of “Keg Lckstcdt. Jack Blied. Luffy Lawrence and Harold Lampert. The next team to fall was the strong team from Sparta, who in pre-Al Kcsscmch.t «pt. vjous years had always carried off the honors. But the home team was out for revenge, and got Sparta’s scalp to the tunc of 16 to 0. One week later the team journeyed to Whitewater to play the Normal ’School. As the whole Fort” team was there to get a line on Madison, the team used only three plays throughout the entire game, scoring two touchdowns. While Madison could have run up a larger score, the boys were satisfied with 12 to 0. One week later, Baraboocame down to Madison, only to be humbled by the score of 17 to 0. The next game, that with LaCrosso. put Madison out of the running for first honors. Although out weighed twenty pounds to a man. Madison’s light fighting line played the heavy LaCrosse forwards off their feet. The element of luck, so prevalent in foot-ball contests. decided this game. LaCrosse won 6 to 0. The Fort” game, then only a week off. spurred the men on to hard work, and conscientious training. At the beginning of the week two of the regulars were declared ineligible. To make matters worse, the morning before the game another regular became seriously ill. Yet Madison was determined to win. On a field of mud the ball seesawed back and forth. The boys played brilliantly, but the Fort” had the horse-shoe, and won 2 to 0. Madison’s line, which was not scored on throughout the season, is one of the best that the school has ever had. After the LaCrosse game, here is what the LaCrosse Daily says: By holding the heavy red and black players on her own one-half foot line for three successive downs. Madison showed her never die spirit. Never before has anything like this been equalled on a high school gridiron, throughout the West. Al. Kcsscnich.

AL.” Whatever success the team has had this year has been due in a large measure to Al. our captain and quarter-back. As a general, he distinguished himself, while his dashing runs and fighting spirit were prominent features of every game. GEORGE DAVY. MIKE. Our plunging full-back played every minute of every game, and played all the time. I le was always good for his distance, from 3 yards up. In defense he was a tower of strength, and his forward passes were remarkable for distance and accurracy. OTIS HOFFMAN. OATS. As left tackle, our former guard put up the star game of his life. One of our strongest and most aggressive players, he could open holes or break up opponents’ plays with equal facility. GARRY BLIED. TORCHY. Our shining light on the end was another man who played all the time. On tackling or receiving forward passes he did stellar work, and his work, especially in the last two games, was of a variety seldom seen in high school football. MORRIS STEWART. STEWDIE. As center, he showed remarkable development. In the pivotal position he passed the ball extremely well, held his man out consistently, and on the offensive was responsible for smashing up many of our opponents’ plays before they got started. JOHN DOVE. JOHNNIE. When Johnnie got started, the spectators sat up and took notice. As a broken field runner, his rep went before him, and we even heard Coach Vos-burg say. l or Heaven’s sake, don’t let that man get away from you! BYRON NELSON. BYRIE.” By made the team on account of his splendid fighting spirit, grit, and consistent playing. When called on. he always responded with the goods, and as a kicker, both in punting and dropping, his work stood out above his opponents. But how we missed him in that last game. Watch him next year. HOBART BONDI. “HOBE. The find of the season. We never before saw a guard hold his man on punts. H and then get down to tackle the catcher before he got started with the ball. B As tackle or half, he could do equally well, as he showed on more than one oc-casion. “Go to it. old horse. JAMES PAYTON. JIMMY. One of our first problems was to place our track captain where his weight and speed would be of most service. That we succeeded was shown by the way he fitted in at the tackle position. A willing worker, extremely fast, he wouldn’t go back behind the line again, for. as he says. “There’s no fun back there. LEIGH MINER. “LEIGH. At either half or full. Leigh played equally well, but he showed most class at left half. Heavy and aggressive, he always carried the ball well, while his defensive play was a feature of every game. PAUL SEGERSON. “SEGIE. Few opposing teams tried his hole a second time, while he usually had his man out of the way when called on. When you see half a dozen men piled up. always look for Paul at the bottom, and you won't be disappointed. He could break through some. too. as opponents found out. HERBERT CRAMER. HERB. I lis hard work of the preceeding year prepared him to step into the vacant end position, which he always played like a veteran. Seldom missing a tackle he was a terror to opponents, while on the receiving end of forward passes he was responsible for more than one score. LYLAND MORRISON. IKEY. As a hard worker, he stands supreme, for he fitted himself to play any back or cither end. As a consequence, when the emergency came and we wanted a man to take Byrie’s place. Ike got his chance, and made good. We are looking for great things from him next year. WILLIAM McCREIGHT. DICK. The first Freshman to make his M in years. He is fast, strong, and aggressive, and with a little more experience, should become almost a real athlete. We predict that he will not always be a sub guard, for he’s got the goods. This ends the list of those who won the official emblem That others worked just as hard and deserved as much credit for success of the team, goes without saying. Wc hope their opportunity will come later, and that they too may sometime wear the official recognition of their prowess. Without such men. wc can never have a successful team, and so; Substitutes and second team men. I thank you for your courtesy, willing spirit and hard work, realizing that the unrecognized work is often the hardest. Also I wish to take this opportun-ilyof expressing my appreciation to all students, members of the faculty, and alurr.ni, who have in so many ways lu Iptd lo n ake out team of I1)I I a g(x� d one Whatever success wc may have had was due. in a laige measure, to their tfforts.

And were ready to stay all day. As soon os they got off their special train. 1 hey marched up the street to the park; Down in torrents, came the rain. But all were out for a lark. It poured, it poured, how it did pour! But we went to the game; We paid our quarters at the gate. And then stood in the rain. 1 he teams marched up and down the field The rain fell on their heads And many thought, all splashed with mud, Would wc were in our beds. Our feet were soaked, our clothes were too. We turned our backs to the winds: And after staying for half an hour. Waded home .thru mud to our shins. And now when they ask us to stand by the school And be patriotic, we say. We went to that game, stood deep in the mud. Out of loyalty, and still we are gay. Laura Stromme. Iinvftejr-CRass FooftballL We find in cveiy high schcol scores of boys taking part in the different branches of athletics as afforded by that school. In these schools we always find two distinct classes predominating and at times controling the games that are played. There are boys that play th? game for individual gain and those that play the game for the benefit and pleasure that comes only through its playing. We find too often that the first of these is over fed year after year. They play with narrow purpose and look only towards their own ambitions. We find in the other class, boys who play in a larger and broader atmosphere. They love the game, they study its methods of procedure, and play it with a determination to win: but if they lose, they lose cheerfully, without comment and without criticism. Madison High School has the proper attitude towards the different branches of athletics The student that took part in class football this year, played the game in a way that can bring only the highest and best results, not only to themselves but to the school which they represent. All students wishing to take part in class football report at Brittingham Park at the close of school. This was the notice that was found, early in October, on the bulletin board at the Madison High School. It was not a large poster, painted in bright colors, but a poster calm and urging. It brought out many boys the first day, more the second, and still more the third until after one week of busy work, eighty boys were enthusiastically memorizing signals and instruction of duties. The Inter-lass schedule was successfully worked out. the honors going to the Junior class. In all. the season's work was wholesome and rich in its results.

MAN TEAM CLASS 3 QUAD REGULAR SQUAD BASKETBAtfc Review off BasKeft Ba lll Seasons After finishing I he hardest schedule ever given an athletic team at the Madison High School, this year’s basketball team returned from the Lawrence tournament with the championship of the state. With six of last year's squad in school, the season opened with bright prospects. The first game of the season was against ledger ton. December 22, which was easily defeated by the score of 41 to 14 This was probably the easiest game. Although the team played well, the coaches, Mr. Graven and Mr. Sta cy, told the squad they needed to work much harder to finish the season successfully. From time to time until the end of the season, it was a continual round of hard work. Every evening from five to six. and many times to six-thirty, the squad was put through hard practice. Our season ripened and still we were undefeated. Then came that fateful game at LaCrosse. February 10; after a hard fight, we succumbed to defeat with the score of 16 to II. The winning team played a better George Drtvv.Gapt. game an{| descrvecl iQ win. but this strengthened our resolution to finish the season without another defeat and. above all to defeat LaCrosse. I he latter was accomplished March I, by a score of 27 to 23 after the hardest game ever played on the local floor. After finishing our schedule, we were compelled to play Haraboo. a team that we had twice defeated, for a place at the Appleton tournament. Our team easily defeated the Bar-aboo team the third time. The first game at the tournament was played against Oconto, one of the weakest teams there, which we easily defeated by a score of 43 to 30. The following day we played Menominee. which had defeated Antigo the previous day. We were booked for a defeat by basket ball fans, but when we swamped the northerners by a score of 46 to 19. we were picked to win the tournament. On Saturday, the last day of the tournament, we played Superior, which had also defeated two teams. Madison got the lead and held it all the way. and when the game was over and the score counted, it was found that our team had won not only the game but also the state championship. It was said we presented the best teamwork ever displayed on the Appleton floor, a statement which goes to show we had a team and not simply one or two individual stars. It was as a team that we won the state championship. George Davy. Capt. BASKETBALL RECORDS Dec. 22. at Madison. Madison 41 Edgerton 14. Jan. 5. at Beloit. Madison 43 Beloit 14. Jan. 12. at Madison.

It is from these that the material is developed that makes possible the championship teams of which Madison is so proud. In point of interest, this year’s class tournament was far ahead of last, as no class had a clear title for the championship till after the last game was played. While the All-class team took many of the best men. they left many hitherto unsuspected stars for the classes, and. moreover, left a chance to see many other players in action. While it was not possible to give everyone a chance in these intcrclass games, many more played than in former years. The total number of games played in the tournament was twelve. Each class met each other class twice, thus playing six games —a good schedule. STANDING OF THE TEAMS Class Won Lost Per cent.

It is only fair to say. how'ever. that in the final game the Seniors were greatly handicapped by the illness of one of their number. The Sophomores won only one game, that with the Freshmen. Although the Freshmen lost every game, they showed very good sportsmanship in taking their defeat like veterans and only shedding a few tears in private. The games as a whole were very good, the one between the Sophomores and Juniors being particularly exciting, the Juniors winning by one point. STANDING OF THE TEAMS Won Lost Percent.

S. students longing for a baseball team As this was a new venture, many thought it impossible to organize a team capable of holding its own with the other teams throughout the state. Information concerning material and prospects was furnished the athletic board by a few energetic students, and after many careful discussions a team was finally organized. I his took place only after much time had been wasted, and when the team finally took to the field.’’ the playing season was well advanced. The lack of suitable grounds handicapped the team to a great extent. Brittingham and Tenney Park were both tried, but the management found it hard to excite enough interest to get material to go that far out of town for practice. Another difficulty was encountered by Mr. Barnes, manager, in arranging a suitable schedule. Games were secured, however, with Lake Mills and Deerfield, two teams that had won all their early games. Lake Mills came here only to receive a defeat they will long remember, as the game resulted in an 18 to 6 score. The next game played in Deerfield was won by Madison with a score of 4 to 2. All things considered the strange grounds, the poor playing field and the quality of players we had to compete with, his was a remarkable victory. Deerfield, with several players who later became prominent •n town and state league teams, was defeated only after some hard and clever pitching and fie’ding by Madison players. How far the team would have gone in its victories is hard to tell; but many of the players were satisfied that they could have defeated any high school team in the state. This is probably true because many of the players, later in the year became brilliant performers and were chosen on the All-Industrial League team as representatives of the best base ball material in the city of Madison. With only two of the 1911 players missing the team representing the M. H. S. for 1912 should prove even more successful than the team of a year ago. All that is necessary now to make the team a success is the support of the student body; a little boosting” ion their part would put the team on an even basis with the other branches of the M. H. S. athletics. PLAYERS Alfred Dohr, Gipr. Pitcher, H. Bullesbach Catcher. A. Dohr 1st Base. A. Lindaucr 2nd Base A. Kcssenich C. Meyers Right f ield, Harriet M.

The game was new to the majority of the boys, but the rules, which arc not unlike the outdoor rules, were quickly learned and a class league formed. During the spring vacation, each class played three games and these were followed by contests on the following Saturdays. To Mr. Staley goes the credit for the innovation and his untiring efforts made the pastime what it was.

A Review of ftlhe 09113 UVacife Team When the 191 I track team opened its season, championship chances looked very discouraging The indoor season was to have opened with a race scheduled with the Wisconsin Academy, at the annual University M indoor meet. Six of Madison's best runners trained two weeks. Finally the time came, but much to our disappointment, the Academy, looking over their last year's track record, decided to cancel the engagement. The outdoor track season opened three weeks later. Only a few men reported for work at first, but as the season advanced the squad increased to about fifteen. For two weeks previous to the Beloit meet, the men worked hard. Fight men were chosen to represent Madison in this meet. Owing to the fact that this is one of the fastest high school meets in the middle states, Madison did well in placing three of her men, and in winning three fourths. Two weeks later a larger number of men were sent to the LaCrossc meet. The boys came back with flying co'ors. They not only won the meet with hands down, but set two new records which will stand for some time. The next meet was the Interscholastic . Madison High had won it for two successive years, and it was our great ambition to win it the third year. Every member of the team worked hard each night for the big event. Some of the best runners of the state were to be in it and Madison would have to work hard to beat them. The honors of the meet were taken by Madison High. Thus the Interscholastic was won by Madison for three successive years. In our last meet at Ripon we succeeded in securing second place, first place going to West S’dc Milwaukee By winning the relay races in all the meets, we gained a clear title as state champions in this event.

At this command three boys pulled their hands out of their pockets, pressed the obnoxious buttons in question, and passed on with lowering brows. After sufficient distance intervened between them and their tormentors, they stopped, exclaiming almost simultaneously. “It’s outrageous! ' It’s down right tyranny! This is disgraceful!” This incident took place one bright spring morning, on the campus of Brown College, in the small town of M . Oh:o. For years it had been the custom of the upperclassmen to compel the Freshmen to wear small brown skull caps, each ornamented with an extremely ridiculous white button wo inches in diameter. No f reshman was allowed to appear on the street or campus without the despised cap. Everyone knew that the wearer was a Freshman and. consequently was there for the express purpose of being ridiculed Rebel as they would.however, they dared not appear without the prescribed caps I don’t mind the cap so much, but to be guyed by those insufferable .Sophomores! It's Press the button. wherever one goes. iray. but it makes me sore to think of having had to obey them for almost a year! The speaker. Ransome Flarvcy, was a bright young fellow who had just entered the college as a Freshman. By his appearance, one could readily conjecture that he had come to college not simply to please his mother, nor to while away his time, but to acquire knowledge. It was spring. The school year was almost over. The indignities and ridicule which the Freshman had suffered at the hands of the Sophomores during this period can be imagined by no one who has not passed through a like experience. Up to this time, however, Ransome had made no complaint; but now. even to him. the incessant tormenting had become intolerable. As the boys stood there trying to formulate some plan for action. thcr° came to their cars the loud “clang! clang!” of a bell. What did it mean? There was only one explanation. One of the college buildings was on fire! Without a word the boys dropped their books and ran. It was Sever-ty Nine Hall”! At that tiir.c in the little college town of M - there was no department, but each building was equipped with its own apparatus for fighting fire. When the boys came up to the burning building, great excitement prevailed. As he gazed at the scene, the words of Macduff came to Harvey’s mind, and almost unconsciously he repeated, “Confusion now' hath made her masterpiece! Why don’t they turn on the stream? he cried. The water is shut off and can be turned on only from room number 1 10.” volunteered an upper classman. It is that part of the building which is on fire, and no one will venture inside. “No one?” exclaimed Ransome. I will go in and turn on the water! In a minute he had removed his coat, bounded up the steps, and into the burning building. His friends had attempted to restrain him, but he was resolute. It was easy at first, only the smoke bothered him as he ran down the almost dark passages. When he reached the floor on which he knew room 110 to be situated, he experienced greater difficulty. There was a choking sensation in his throat; his eyes smarted from contact with the smoke Here and there, little juts of flame flared up around him. Still he pushed on. What if he should not hold out? The building with its invaluable contents would be destroyed! He thought of his mother and of the encouragement she had given him when he fought his childish battles. Again he could hear her repeat, But screw your courage to the sticking place, and you’ll not fail! This was what he needed to stimulate his failing physical strength and strength of purpose. At last he gained room I 10. In an instant he pressed the button which liberated the water, allowing it to pass freely into the hose. He knew the greater part of the building would now be saved and he commenced his perilous return. Everything was a blur before his eyes as he stumbled on. How he accomplished it. he never knew, only remembering that as he gained the open air. he sank exhausted into the arms of a friend. When Ransome regained consciousness, he was lying in bed. surrounded by a mob of howling, cheering schoolmates. In answer to their words of praise and to their cheers, Ransome only said. “All 1 did. fellows, was to press the button, and you all have given me a great deal of practice. Irene Sanderson. A The Butterfly family decided to give a dance. Of course it was a matinee dance; they never approved of evening gaities They made their plans, sent out their invitations, and eagerly awaited the day The following is an extract from the “Daily Breeze.” the Garden newspaper, the day after the party. ’ The Misses Butterfly issued invitations for a matinee dance, which took place yesterday afternoon. The invitations, written in golden pollen upon white rose petals, were sent to every living creature in the Garden. The Poppy Field ball room was engaged for the occasion, and Monsieur Cricket and Mademoiselle Katydid furnished the music for dancing. Happily, the weather was superb. A faint zephyr insured graceful dancing on the part of our Winged Friends; those to whom dancing is an impossibility, cither were entertained by the Tumble Bug Family, or indulged in gymnastic exercises, under the leadership of Mr. Grasshopper. “The zephyr brought with it odors of many wild flowers, and wafted away the Poppy scent, which was causing a slight drowsiness. “At sundown, when the guests departed, they declared the party a great success and voted unanimously that on each bright day during the summer another such party should be given.” Kathryn Morris. Oo IfiL One day a man came into a department store, in Madison, to buy some articles. After he had completed his purchases, he went to the desk to give the clerk his name and address.

I was not permitted to forget it altogether, however, for on the nineteenth Pete, in an attempt to crank the family runabout for his sister, broke his arm. Of course this made us both feel blue, and as if everything had gone to the dogs. At the same time. Pete did not want to withdraw from the race since his car was the only American entrant. 1 felt sorry for him. Suddenly, as we sat on the porch the day of the accident, his face brightened and he fairly shouted, Say, Doc, why can't you go in and push dust in the faces of the foreigners? No. I said, nothing doing along that line. I have not had enough experience at the wheel, and I guess you will have to give me up. “Come on. Doc; be a sport. You know you could drive that car with your eyes shut. was the persuasive reply. Well, Pete, tell you what I will do. 1 said after a moment’s consideration. Let me take charge of the car from now until after the race and I’ll do my best. Shake! was his only reply. But. mind, you will have to keep your mouth shut as to what I shall do, 1 cautioned him. Never fear; I will. he replied. 1 took possession of the car immediately, and went for a trial spin twice each day over the full course, which had several turns that required a great deal of care in driving. On the night before the race I turned these so many times in my sleep that I jumped out of bed onto the floor several times. On the twenty-first, the eventful day. I went over the course a number of times at about three-fourths speed, and then once at full speed. At last after a good hearty dinner. I walked to the shed with Pete and made a final survey of the car. keeping up my spirits with an occasional jest. At one forty-five, flying the Stars and Stripes. I went past the grandstand, amid the cheers of the people. At two o’clock we drew for the start which was to be made at fifteen second intervals. I drew number four and I would therefore start one minute after the first car. At the last moment Pete, with his arm in a sling, came out to the course and climbed into the car. He kept up a running fire of talk, telling me to hit the curves low, and telling me everything two or three times. Finally the starter with his red flag appeared and gave a signal. Pete, with a last slap, dismounted from the car and ran to the side of the course. I adjusted my gloves, cap. and goggles for the twentieth time during the last half hour. The starter raised his flag and the first car was off. As the second car sped off, 1 grasped the throttle; as the third car started, I opened the exhaust; and then I saw the flag go down, and 1 was in the race! I made the first ten miles at about the same speed as number three, but as I saw that number five was gaining on me. I opened the engine still farther. In about two minutes I was running even with number two. As I passed the twenty-mile mark. I saw the French car. or number one. in the ditch and the driver on a stretcher. I realized that I was now ahead of all the cars and that if I could hold the speed I was now going. I stood a good chance of winning. When 1 came down the final stretch to the finish, I put on every available bit of power and shot across the finish line a good two minutes ahead of the English car. which came in second. Before 1 had time to come back to the finish line. Pete came tearing up with his brother in a borrowed car, and I would rather be dead than to endure another such pounding as he gave me. He shook hands, yelled, and danced around like a crazy man. That evening as I sat on the porch of the Baldwin home. 1 realized that I had won a great race, for both Pete and the stars and stripes; but somehow as I thought about it. my victory failed to thrill me. for 1 could not forget Pete. Peace © -© There he sat. as usual, in the little old vine-covered porch. He was there whenever we passed there in the old rocking chair, the spirals of smoke from his corn-cob pipe slowly wreathing round his long grey hair. His eyes were dreamy and misty as he thought of the bygone days, —the pleasures and sorrows now blended softly together. Beside him lay his gaunt old hound; and sometimes the hens came hopping up the steps to receive their food. In friendly confidence, the cat and her kittens lay in their plot of sunshine near the dog. The drowsy hum of bees came from a carefully tended flower-bed. for the old man loved flowers and took great pride in his quaint garden. Everything was peaceful and contented. It was a continuous Sunday there. I he one spot of active, stirring life was the neighbor’s little girl, who came every day to play with the kittens, caress the old dog. and help look after the flowers. She brought an atmosphere from a different world--the world of to-day—into his dreamy world of yesterday. Helen Smith. Tlhie Haunted Bam Across from the field where the fellows met at night to have a jolly time, stood an old crumbling barn. A man had once hanged himself there, and the place was said to be haunted. One day one of the fellows proudly boasted that he had seen a white object flash past an opening in the cast wall. Not believing in ghosts. Bob Lee and I decided to play a joke on the fellows, by dressing as ghosts and climbing up in the old barn. Accordingly, that night we lay in ambush a short distance from the barn; as I had forgotten my sheet. Bob was to be the only ghost. When the bunch had gathered, we crept silently up to the old rotten door, which hung on one hinge. Hesitating a moment, we opened it. The rusty hinges gave a dismal creak which sounded like a warning. We picked our way as carefully as possible into the main part of the barn. It was a dilapidated afTair; the north end. which had been partly destroyed by fire, was fallen in; the east wall had large holes torn in it by high winds and decay; while the west and south walls had fared little better. Donning his sheet. Bob worked his way up the wall towards a place where two beams came together at right angles. At last he got one arm over one of the beams and started to pull his body upon it, when there was sudden rustle; a white flash shot out into the moonlight, and a low noise, which sounded to me like a hideous chuckle, was heard. For a moment I stood there trembling, my heart beating the sides of my chest as if it were trying to escape.A shriek from Bob sent me through the doorway like a shot from a rifle. As I fairly flew over the ground. 1 looked back over my shoulder and beheld Bob. the sheet flying back from his shoulders, his eyes staring from his head with fright, and his breath coming in quick gasps. The sight forced me to redouble my speed; and. when at last hidden in the shade of a large oak. I stood and looked back. I beheld the dark form of a number of pigeons groping their way in the moonlight, through the holes back into the barn. Lawrence Lippert. WitlhiOtaft Hlhe Hosttess ‘‘You two run along and ask whomever you wish and leave me free to start on all the Latin I've missed.” ordered Margery, who had just returned from a week in the infirmary, summarily dismissing her room-mate Elizabeth, and Miriam, who occupied the room across the hall. ‘‘Hush! Didn’t you hear someone? and her box from home” disappeared under the bed just as Miss Wehlen appeared at the door. Margery studied hard that evening. When the lights out” bell rang, she had made up all the Latin and part of the history she had missed; but she kept on. attacking her books with feverish impatience, her already overtaxed brain becoming more and more tired. When the clock struck twelve, she dropped her books with a sigh of relief, and rose and shook the sleeping Elizabeth. I’m too sleepy for words,” yawned Margery. She plumped herself into the big Morris chair, and sighed drowsily as her eyes closed. Elizabeth, putting the finishing touches on the spread arranged on the floor, did not notice that Margery had fallen sound asleep, her curly head burrowed among the soft cushions, and a blissful smile on her pretty face. Just then the door opened, and in came Mariam, struggling under the weight of seven large pillows. “Babe Lawson’s going to bring the rest,” she announced, dropping her pillows with a sigh of relief. Good gracious!” she exclaimed, as she noticed for the first time sleeping Margery. She smothered a laugh, lest she awaken the girl. At last I can have my revenge for the way she woke me last term,” she said in a stage whisper to Elizabeth. She tiptoed across the room and filled a cup with cold water. Half way back she stopped. She suddenly set the cup down decidedly on the arm of the nearest chair, and her eyes twinkled with mischief. “Let’s not wake her,” she whispered gleefully. She’s probably so tired that she’ll sleep the rest of the night and miss her own spread. A few minutes later, all the girls invited had assembled. Miriam had met each one at the door and had explained the situation, and now the room was full of chuckles and half-suppressed laughs, as the mischievous girls watched Margery sleep unconsciously while they consumed the dainties which her mother and sisters had prepared with love and care. It was a mean thing to do. but for this very reason the naughty girls took vicious delight in the fun. Miriam told her brightest jokes and limericks, the latter designed with reference to Margery. Babe Fredrickson quite outdid herself in her clever sallies; and they were each and every one as merry as June-bugs. They quite enjoyed the good things to cat, and took malicious pleasure in eating particularly juicy pickles and spicy pieces of mince-pie with one eye on Margery and the other on the person who happened to have the floor.” As time flew on in the wee sma’ hours.” they became convinced of the necessity of departure; so.with a parting kiss on Margery’s cheek, they glided away, avowing that they had never gone to a spread they enjoyed one-half so much as this one at which the hostess was asleep. Margery was awakened the next morning by the clangor of the rising bell. She sleepily opened her eyes, but sat up in a hurry as she noticed her position in the Morris chair, in her kimona, covered over with a quilt. Thoughtful Elizabeth had done that. Then, one by one. the events of the previous night came back to her. “Why,! must have gone to sleep ' she was thinking, when she looked up. and saw Elizabeth, seemingly occupied in dressing, but nevertheless watching Margery out of the corner of her eye. a roguish smile curving her lips. Their eyes met. and an irresistible laugh conquered both. Neither noticed that the door had been opened until Margery looked up and saw Miriam s laughing face thrust triumphantly in. You villains! cried Margery. The next time I get a box from home We'll ask you to share it. laughed Miriam.

A monk called from above. Why not invite the others, too? For them, have you no love?” Oh! yes. we love them equally, George Washington next said. But a Senior has so many things. Enough to turn his head. The Freshmen and the Sophomores Are far too dull. said he. “The Juniors are the only ones Who merit this decree.” You tell a tale from Chaucer’s lore.” A jovial monk was told. And I’ll tell anecdotes of yore. Said George, the warrior bold. The other monks were told to sing Some simple vesper hymn. Next night, as it had been agreed. They asked the Juniors in.

Under the direction of the class teacher, as a part of the regular class work, each English section held a preliminary contest. The winners of these sectional contests came together in class contests, held in the auditorium at the close of the school session, to determine who should represent the class in the final inter-class contest. The final contest was held in the auditorium. March the twenty-first. The training of the four contestants Laura Stromme, 12, LeRoy Emmel, '13.

This is the social event of the year, and class after class has vied with its predecessors i-� making its party the most spectacular and the most talked about in school circles. So it is but natural that the Junior party grew into an ultra social function far above the average high school students taste and purse. As a result, the school, which should be very democratic in all its functions, faced the problem of cither eliminating this party altogether or making it so simple and inexpensive in nature as to make it possible for any student, who wished to do so, to attend. As the first alternative was not desirable for many reasons, the second was tried. Those who had the pleasure of attending this year's party say they never had a better time at any similar function. The decorations were simple yet tasteful and beautiful, the music was excellent, the people were or had been high school students; therefore there existed a feeling of comrudship among the dancers that has so often been missing at this party in the past. The committee is to be congratulated on their efforts to save the High School Prom. Matinee Dairaces The matinee dances constitute one of the leading features of the social activities of the school. Last year a series of three matinee dances was given to which all classes were invited; but owing to the large attendance at these parties and their growing popularity.it was thought best to limit the invitations to one class at one time. The general plan this year has been to give two parties each month, one for the first and second year students, and one for the third and fourth year students. The plan worked out very successfully, the average attendance of two hundred being about all that the Gym floor can comfortably accomodate. The purpose of these parties is not to make money, but to give the students of our large school an opportunity to meet socially and to make the school building a place of recreation as well as of work. The nominal attendance fee of five cents brings the parties within financia reach of all. and serves to pay for the music, a three or four piece orchestra, and for al other minor expenses. The time, usually on Friday from three forty-five to five-forty five, does away with all attempts at dress and serves to further the excellent democratic spirit shown by the pupils. Flask: Today I saw Miss Bunsen, an old flame of mine, the one 1 turned down last year. Beaker; Was she as blue as ever? Flask: “No. she was bright, and gave me a warm greeting Then she gassed with me. Potassium chlorate glar d at me like poison. and nitric acid fumed around also, but 1 kept my i-on them. Mr. Tetcr: What arc tapestries. Miss Fay? Miss Fay: Tapestries are things to cat; a sort of pastry, 1 think. Freshic: What is a Nautilus, anyhow?” Soph; O. a kind of a snail. Freshie: Well. I thought it must be something pretty slow. Mr. Barnes: John, can you tell me the difference between heat and cold? John: Heat expands, cold contracts. Mr. B: ' Give an example.” John: In summer the days are long, in winter, they are short. In Mrs. Jenkins’ Senior English class, the students were given twenty minutes in which to write a theme on the board. The result of this twenty minutes work for one young man was as follows: Widsith was one of the early English poets. Little or nothing is known of him. It was suggested by the teacher that by me be added at the end of the theme. MEMORABLE SAYINGS. Miss Warning— Well, you may come after school!

Miss C. arrived twenty minutes late at one of Miss Warning’s exclusive pink teas. Miss W: Miss C. why arc you so late? Miss C: I had to clean up some ink. Miss W.: Why didn’t you come here first and clean up the ink afterward?’ Miss C: Miss Kleinpcll was afraid it would soak in.” Miss W: Well. Miss C., I should think it would be more important to have a little geometry soak in.’’ Mrs. Jenkins, trying to convince a stupid class of the difficulties of English over Latin: “Why, the teacher who taught Latin a thousand years ago is teaching it the same way to-day.” Voice in the rear: She must be an old maid! Mr. Grindell: How is the specific duty on shoes measured?” Mr. McGilvray: By the size. An honored high school student Is Mr. Garry Blicd, A member of the football team. Much noted for his speed.

There’s also a girl named Marion Who sure is a lovely grammarian. She walks metaphoric. And she speaks so rhetoric, This youthful prodigy, Marion. THE ANNUAL JOKE. Guaranteed to be the oldest joke in existence; has appeared in every annual except those of 1907 and 1911. Freshman: In what course do you expect to graduate? Sophomore: In the course of time. He. poetically: How the flickering firelight softens everything in this room! She. innocently: Does it make you soft?” Miss Young: Why. Mr. Link. I know a thousand times as much as you do. Mr. Link, musingly: One thousand times zero equals zero. Soph, translating Caesar: The ambassadors met and swore at one another. The motto over Plato’s school of philosophy was. Let no man enter who knows not geometry. Miss Warning after telling this to one of her classes, of which nearly every member was invited to a pink tea. remarked; I think that I will have a motto over my door, saying. 'Let no one go out who knows not geometry.’ A NOTE AND A SONG I shot a note into the air. II fell on a desk I know not where. For who has eyes so keen and strong, That lowered, could follow its flight along? I breathed a song into the air. It found a hearer below somewhere. For soon I saw Mr. Jones appear. And then, with haste, I sought the rear. Long. long, afterward when old and gray, I often thot of that eventful day. My trip to the office, and bitter tears. Brot only a smile in later years.

Oitnriul We have been recently informed that the Madison High School is about to issue another number of the “Tychober-ahn. We feel sure that the coming number will far surpass any previous issues. Thi9 is as it should be; for, with improved methods of printing, the process of creating a book becomes more simplified. Of course it is simply a matter of printing. The writing and selecting of material is mere child's play. Everybody is eager to contribute, and no one is offended if his article is omitted. We understand that the present Tychoberahn board has been flooded with excellent material. Another encouraging feature in getting out a book of this sort is the friendly and helpful criticism so freely offered, especially after the publication. No one ever finds fault or suggests that some other way might have been better. In the land of the Taychopera there are no croakers. We are therefore eagerly awaiting the new number of the 'Tychoberahn, and are tuning our voices to join the chorus of praise. FOURTH WARD SUFFERS DEFEAT. DAVY LEADS VICTORS M. H.

If the teachers rule the school, does Mary McGovern? If nobody else liked Al, Henrietta Wood. DAHL TRIAL. The trial of Victor Dahl, an M. H. S. student, for speeding, was heard before Judge Gohdes this morning. The facts in the case show that Dahl was speeding up State street about eleven o’clock without headlights, at the rate of six miles an hour. Mr. Dahl was convicted and fined forty-nine cents and costs. Later he was released on probation. QUESTIONS OF OUR READERS. Dear Editor Having devoutly studied and eagerly devoured the contents of every classical volume ever published, and having made a vain search for some new manuscript, 1 am now at a painful loss to know what next to study for my pleasure. As a last resort, I ask your advice about this matter. Can you suggest anything new? Margaret Fay. Answer:—We think, madam, that we know of the volume which will exactly satisfy your demands. Purchase the 1912 Volume of the M. H. S. Tychoberahn. Such a book is about as classical as they make them. Bennie Goldenburtf BOXING INSTRUCOR 23 Fleet Street THE DANE COUNTY SCREAM.

An exciting incident on Pinckney street last week drew a large crowd. The cause of the disorder was the arrest of George Davy by Sheriff Calla Bur-meister, who overheard “Mike” denouncing suffrage. The brave fellow even went so far as to offer a little resistance on the way to jail. This was considered an offense of the worst kind. Mr. Davy'8 case will be tried by Judge Marion Conover to-morrow. STUDENT’S CRY Latest!!! Try this on your piano!! Most popular M. H. S. song! Absolutely guaranteed to be exact quotations taken from the student body since the year one. Sing to the tune of “Oh Where, Oh Where Is My Little Dog Gone?” Oh where oh where has this period gone? I’m sure that bell must be wrong. 1 haven’t my Latin, I haven’t my Greek, And in history I know I am weak. I’m sure I’ll flunk in geometry, And have to attend a pink tea. I don’t know my French, oh dear, “pas de tous’ ’ Oh what, oh what shall I do? -D. E. H. '12 THE DANE COUNTY FAIR. I went to the Dane County Fair. . All the girls and boys were there Garry Blied by the sun’s bright glare, Was combing his golden hair. Bud Grove, the greatest little tease, Got in without paying his fees, The collector got peeved, and said, “If you please!” And Buddy fell down on his knees. Oh, many strange sights 1 saw— Oats Hoffman and Clarabel Maw; And Edna Purtell with great pomp and great awe Was laying down softly the law. It shortly began for to rain. So we planned to go home on the train; But Chas. Casserly, that nobby young swain Strolled along with a hat and a cane. A PART OF THE M. H. S. LIBRARY Letters to Young Men — Notes in school.

Over the front door of the new institution, in striking colors, is the following inscription: “How to Succeed in School, Prof. Edmund Alford, Prin.” The new professors have been THE DANE COUNTY SCREAM. SEPTEMBER 23. 1911 selected after careful investigation. “The Art of Stabbing” is to be taught by Prof. Arnold Jackson, whose long years of study, as well as a highly commended experience in his high school career, have produced a teacher of great competency in this line. Miss Alice Abaly has secured the position of teacher of “Excuse-writing.” Prof. M. Durbrow is at the head of the department of “Fussing.” So many pupils take this study, however, that several assistants are necessary. These positions are filled by J. Payton, H. L. Cas-serly, and Wm. Mack. Prof. Otis Hoffman, teacher of “How to get a Graft,” is by far the most able teacher in the school. Hundreds of children have already registered and seem to be very enthusiastic. Perhaps the cause of the popularity of the school is the fact that no books are used, only lectures and demonstrations being employed. It is believed that after one year’s education in the new school, any pupil can take the high school course in three years. Professor Returned From Art Studies In Europe. Professor Weaver, Art Editor of the “Ladies Home Journal,” has returned after four month’s study abroad. The professor has spent his time studying the latest Paris styles of dressing hair. He asserts that the Orpheum films are entirely too conservative, but highly recommends the methods whereby both the eyes and the ears of the lady are at least partially hidden. What we Want to Know Does Margaret Hunt? Did Charles Byrne himself? Is Elizabeth Green? Is Helen Brown? Is Eva Charle’s daughter? Does Dorothy (take) Harte? Has Louise (a) Shepherd? Is Clarabelle “Maw”? Is Myra (an) Emery? Is Mary (a) Porter? SHIRTWAIST-POCKET ESSAY. Dlsh-Washlng. There are two very desirable ways of washing dishes. The first, and safer way is to have a person hired for that purpose. If this is an unattainable luxury, an automatic washer is the next best thing. This machine may be used without a loss of more than half a dozen dishes a day. But as to washing them oneself!! It is insufferable! It is especially bad to be compelled to wash them. It adds a sort of malicious joy to the performance if a dish or two gets broken. When one is compelled to do them, the process is generally brief. The dishes are taken as a unit; they are slung into a pan regardless of the fact that glasses are at the bottom. Presently the hot water faucet is jerked on and the dishes are treated to a shower bath. If the stream happens to Btrike a sharp edge, it spurts out all over the surrounding scenery. The stream is turned off. Then, seizing a towel, the person, if the proper kind, will make quick work of wiping them. This is all very well, save at this moment in bursts the lady of the house, righteously angry, and the washer is watched until the dishes arc “done right.” Fifth Ward Again Wins. Cramers defeated. M. H. S. Special report-Again the fifth warders were victorious when Joe Deming carried his whirlwind campaign to a successful close by defeating “Herb” Cramers. Joe deserves his position of Sophomore president, for he has worked hard to win. ORPHEUM Continuous Vaudeville Week of May 32 Charles Casserly and Martin Higgins in “THE PINK TEA.” W.
