Green and White t 1 ■f- i For a class so well known as that of 1913, it seems folly to write a class history. To those, however, who have been so unfortunate as not to know our deeds, a little review will perhaps give some light concerning a class that needs no monument. Rumor had it that a class graduated on Friday. June 13, 1913, must be unlucky.and could have little ability. As we did practically nothing in our first year, there seemed some truth in the rumor. In our second year, however, things took on a radically different aspect, and like the thirteen colonies, we fought our way to fame, fame not won by luck, as was that of other classes, but won by sheer determination. Nothing has demonstrated more clearly that determination brings success, than do the deeds of the class of 1913. Take for example our athletic powers. The class football championship of the years 1911, 1912, and 1913 were won by our class. The track championship of 191 1 wras also won by the class of 1913. The class basket-ball championship in 1912 was won by both our girls and boys, and again in 1913 by the girls. The high school foot-ball and track teams for the last three years have been composed chiefly of the boys of 1913. Our class has not only shown unsurpassed superiority in athletics, but in dramatics, in social functions, and in class work. We have always stood for a fair and square deal for one and all. Our ties of good fellowship have remained unbroken for four years of happy and successful toil. The deeds of the 1913 class speak for themselves, and its greatness rings in every ear. Our kindness and renown have stamped themselves so firmly on all who have known us, that years will not erase our influence upon the Madison High School.

Why. it is shocking, positively shocking! As a matter of fact, however, the class of 1914 is the most wonderful in the history of the school. Have we not abolished the Junior Prom? We knew the affair was an outrage and resolved to tolerate it no longer. It is both sad and strange that only broad-minded men can understand and appreciate us. We arc much like poetry; ignorant people can not sec the beauty and good in us. But as surely as Bryan came at last to his public reward, so shall we. the Class of 1914. come to ours. Alford.

It would take from now until the millennium to enumerate its many deeds and virtues. We arc the class that came to the Madison 1 ligh School a year ago with so little brawn and so much brain; but since that time, we have developed the brawn, and we can be seen far excelling all other classes in the acquiring of Ex’s as well as leading in athletic honors. Our class has athletic stars who have gained individual and class honors, literary geniuses who have given proof of their ability, and players who have distinguished themselves in theatricals. Indeed, there seems to be nothing left for the class of 1915 to accomplish. He who wishes to see something really wonderful must watch us during the next two years. Class Means foeffslhiiip! Ahern.

Kathryn Wittgraefe, Marona When the freshmen of 1912 assembled in the auditorium on September 9. the day of their ambition had arrived. While ascending the Madison High School steps, many a heart beat with wild excitement. Any terror that the newcomer might have felt was well concealed by the appearance of courage. Only furtively would a freshman boy or girl glance at the elevated seniors, jovial juniors, brainy sophomores, and learned teachers. All told it was like entering on a new life, dreaded yet desired. Very soon the freshmen were glad to be there, entirely overcome by the hearty friendliness of the new mystery. Now and then, of course. uj on entering the class at the wrong period, we were ignominiously rejected by the upper classmen. On the whole, however, we are proud of our name, for we should never have been a part of the Madison I ligh School had we not been at one time “Verdant f reshmen “ Abaly, George Affholder.

Since that time it has progressed steadily until now it is one of the strongest and best literary societies in the school. This past year the programs have been on current subjects; such as. “Our State Prisons and The Panama-Pacific Exposition. A unique program was the “Philo News, a newspaper containing all the latest high-school news. This was edited by the new members of the club. The past year we have enjoyed no social functions except the all-club supper. February 22. It was a great success. One important work accomplished is the adoption of a new constitution, more liberal, more uniform, and better than we have had before, and under it we hope to become a broad, democratic, and helpful society.

The constitution has been remodeled, which practically reorganized the society. An unusually large number of new members has been admitted. The programs have been varied. In the study of social and political questions, there have been discussed the Salvation Army, its work and leaders, political parties and presidential candidates of 1912, and the immigration problem. In the strictly literary programs, the American drama has been considered; also the development of the short story and the works of minor American poets. An attempt has been made to stimulate creative ability in writing original stories and poems, and even dramatic compositions. These efforts have not revealed startling genius, but they have afforded much amusement. A great effort has been made to present the subjects without manuscripts. So much attention has been given to the critic’s report that it has often been one of the best numbers on the programs. The social activities have consisted of a pleasant informal social hour which took the place of the regular program at Christmas time, participation in the club supper, and a dancing party in the gymnasium. All innovations seem to be for the best and a renewed interest has been taken in raising the standard and ideals of the club.

William Jennings Bryan, and Ramon P. CofTman. this page is dedicated. During the past year, the Forum has accomplished work far above our poor power to add or detract.” It has passed through the most successful year of its existence. The officers and members have striven to live up to the high standards set by their predecessors in the old Roman marketplace. No doubt. Cicero and Cataline would retire to the background, if they could hear some of the debates presented before this worthy assemblage. In a few of the business meetings, unfortunately, some of the Roman tendencies to war have unconsciously cropped out. The Forum introduced into the M. I f. S. the interscholastic debate, meeting the Bar-aboo team here and debating with the natives at Sparta. The question for discussion was, Resolved, that the policy of levying a graduated income tax should be discontinued in Wisconsin. The negative team, composed of Armand Quick. F.llis Potter, and Otto Myrland. won from Sparta by a unaminous decision. The affirmative team. Howard Eaton. Leroy Burlingame, and Robert Snaddon. suffered defeat at the hands of Baraboo. Credit is due to Miss Jessie G. Schlinder and Clarence W. Keyser for the efficient help they gave the society. hirst Semester Robert D.

For five years, it has been struggling first with one difficulty and then another, coming into being for a short time, and then disappearing. I his was a deplorable condition, and one that several seniors resolved to better. On December 10, it was whispered about that the “Lit was to be again. Soon the rumor materialized with J. Conover as president. The underlying purpose of the organization w-as perfectly evident. Could the M. H. S. afford to let such material as Louis Slichter. Glen Houghland, Bob Johnson, and William Marshall to say nothing of the president himself, -go out into the world without giving them the means of expressing, without trembling knees, their exquisite and powerful thoughts? Think what those present at the club supper might have missed if J. Conover had not been able to give his toast. On just such occasions the oratorical ability which the Lit is giving to its aspiring debaters is indcpensable. The members of the society wish to thank Miss Spence under whose able guidance its meetings have flourished. First Semester OFFICERS Second Semester Julian Conover Pres. Robert Johnson N.

Its purpose is to acquaint the members with the English classics. This year the following plays of Shakespeare have been taken up: ” I he Comedy of Errors.” Romeo and Juliet.” Richard III. and Twelfth Night. The plan of carrying on the meetings so far has been to have one member give a summary of the play, and then to have other members present readings from selected scenes. One program consisted of illustrated talks upon Elizabethan costumes and theaters and the presentation of plays in Shakespeare’s time. The membership is now thirty-five, and it is hoped that the membership limit will be reached by the end of the year. Although one of the youngest organizations, a good start has been made, and the English Club has come to stay. Under the leadership of Mr. Tctcr the club is progressing admirably, and all students of M. H. S. who are not already members of some other club arc invited to apply for membership in the English Club.

The year has been one of pleasure and profit. The programs have been both interesting and instructive. Each meeting has opened with a French song, followed by readings, games, recitations of poems, and one original story. The first meeting of the year was opened by a musical number rendered by Miss Sunstrom. assistant Musical Director of the public schools, and at the second meeting in December. Miss Cay of the French Department of the University of Wisconsin delighted La Socicte with a charming description of a Christmas in Paris. AH members have thoroughly enjoyed the year and exclaim with one accord, Vive la belle langue francaise. et la socicte.

The object of the German Club is to accustom the pupils to the sound of spoken German. The club was talked about a great deal before the first meeting and as a result about thirty students attended. The membership roll has increased since and the club now boasts of nearly fifty members. The meetings are held every other Thursday in room 324. The programs consist of German songs, readings, recitations, games, and conversations. Through the enthusiasm and energy of Mr. Deihl and Miss Young, the members have been inspired to do their best and thus the society has become a success. We now feel free to predict an even better and stronger club for next year. We hope that all future members may derive as much benefit from the “Vcrein Gemuetlichkcit as the present members have.

At the beginning of the second quarter of this year, the second year, Latin students asked to organize a Caesar Club. Permission was granted and the S. P. Q. R., Senatus Populusque Romanus. was formed. The purposes of the club are to help the students in their study of Latin, to increase their interest in this study, and to promote a spirit of comradery and friendship throughout the department. The club was organized as a Roman State. The consuls chosen—Marjorie Hendricks and Shirley McNamce -serve alternately as president and secretary. Two Censors were chosen and given pow-er of enrolling the Senate and dividing the club into centuries. These officers also keep the roll and report all delinquencies. The other officers arc five Praetors, acting as judges, two Qua stors. as treasurers, and four Aediles, as a committee on special entertainment. The Senate officers serve as a standing committee on programs. There are now forty-five members, all very much interested and doing their best to make the organization a success.

The object was to do some supplementary work along historical lines which would be both interesting and educational. Although still in the embryo stage, the club has shown great progress. Its membership has increased to nearly a half hundred. The members have shown a willing spirit to further its success and to establish the society on a solid footing. The programs have dealt with interesting problems of the present time, as well as with celebration day exercises. A mock trial, a session of President Wilson’s cabinet, and the Mexican situation arc typical themes that have been presented. Much credit is due the faculty members of the history department for the excellent suggestions they have given in the interest of the organization.

These arc caused by the Girls’ Glee Club which is a peaceful, happy, and enthusiastic organization. Soon after school began last fall, this club was organized with Mrs. B. P. Heath as director and Miss Lisa Kremcrs as pianist. In January. Miss Krcmcrs was succeeded by Miss Helen Burch. Gladys Tyrell was elected president and Martha Kepke, secretary and treasurer. A membership committee was also appointed, consisting of M. Kepke. Calla Burmeister. and Pearl Jcrdin. Among the entertainments furnished by the glee club this year were programs for the G. A. R.. for The Southern Wisconsin Teachers' Convention, and. with other musical organizations. concerts for the school.

H. S. ORCHESTRA The work of the orchestra during the present year has been much the same as that of last year. It has furnished music for auditorium programs, for the plays given by the high-school pupils, for the Southern Wisconsin Teachers’ Association, and for matinee dances. It also co-operated with the Glee Clubs in giving the annual public concert, and will furnish the music for commencement. During the year two valuable additions to the instruments were made when a bass viol and a grand piano were secured. These have contributed much toward making the results more complete. Beginning with 1912-1913 the orchestra work was placed upon the same basis as other studies, in that any pupil may secure, by two years’ work in the orchestra, one half unit credit toward graduation. The membership for 1912-1913 is as follows: I st Violin Glen Hougland Clara Fauerbach Erminie Brictson Ben Micholske Mary Hudson Josie Sinaiko Beatrice Hogan Beth Cullen Herbert Kragh 2nd Violin Herman Sinaiko Ethel Levitan Sibly White Sibyl White Earnest Trantin Anna Sinaiko Amanda 1 Icssrran Diums Will Ferguson Director D.

In addition to these, under the direction of Mr. Deihl. Miss Young, and Miss Klcinpell. assisted by Miss Cooper, were presented three short German plays. Favorable Omens. ' The Dead Man. and The 1 radesman’s Basket.” In every way these plays were a great success.

As the science department covers so wide a field, it would be impossible to interest many of our students in any one branch of science. For this reason the club organized in four departments. Biology. Geography. Chemistry, and Physics. Each branch of the club has its own program, which is usually based on the interesting subjects brought to light in classroom study. The club plans to meet four or five times a year in joint session to listen to some special program of general scientific interest.

The process of simplification begun last year has been continued this year with great success. The Senior Informal has been made what its name suggests, an informal party for seniors only. In this way the members of the class not only became better acquainted, but they discovered that outsiders were not necessary to the success of the occasion. 1 he next step in making the social life in the high school truly democratic was the discontinuance of the Junior Prom.” This was formerly an expensive social event. The party gowns with the required accessories for the girls, flowers, carriages, suppers and other items expected from the boys made the party merely a pitiful imitation of the University function. The average parent could not comfortably spare this amount for a party. Yet many parents did so in order to give their children the same advantage which others enjoyed. Often the boys and girls themselves did not want to spend the money, but had to do so or be out of it.” In place of this elaborate affair this year came the Junior Informal, conducted in the same simple manner as the Senior Informal; and it was equally successful. In addition to this the juniors gave a reception for the seniors. By this time even those who had at first been opposed to the new order were convinced that it is better than the old, and that simplicity and pleasure may go hand in hand. Besides these special social events, matinee dances have been given at frequent intervals for the various classes. These dances, which have been well attended, help to develop school spirit and good fellowship and further the spirit of democracy in school affairs. Music for these occasions was furnished by the school orchestra. One of the most enjoyable social events of the year was the all-club supper. This was held in the gymnasium on the evening of Washington's birthday. The walls were decorated with flags; and the tables, gay in red, white, and blue streamers, and place-cards of scarlet hatchets, were arranged in the form of a W in honor of the day. At the foot of the W was a large round-table for the speakers of the evening. The real treat of the evening was the program on which each club was represented. 1 he part of the toastmaster was played admirably and those who responded to the toasts were equally clever. The event was characterized by a delightful blend of merriment, good sense, and patriotism. It is impossible to reproduce here the fellowship and pleasure of the occasion. It is safe to say, however, that all who were present felt that the all-club supper should become one of the regular features of the social life of the school. The program was as follows: PROGRAM Toastmaster. Donald Dixon History Club George, Our Father The Forum Washington, first in war M. 11. S. L. S.

H. S. BASE BALL TEAM Base Ball Why don’t we play baseball? We don’t know. Perhaps the school doesn't consider it very good sport. Now personally, we are not of that variety of fan that would walk five miles to see a baseball game; nevertheless, we should like to sec our high school play ball. Why? Well, it’s the national game; and. what's more to the point, other high schools play it, and we don’t like to let them get the best of us. We, therefore, urge that the start made last spring be kept up and that baseball be developed into a major sport. In common with all other forms of athletic activity, baseball suffers from the excessive modesty of the men of the student body. What we mean is this. Enough fellows don’t get out. Many are afraid that they don’t know enough baseball to stand any chance of making a team; therefore, they don’t even report as candidates. Our suggestion would be that every boy, who can spare the time ought to get out for everything. He may never amount to much (such has been our own experience), but he will feel better and will surely have a good time. On the other hand, he may be a good man. lacking nothing but development, and the school needs every man of ability. Well, we started out to tell about the baseball season of 1912, but in our desire to express an opinion which we have held for a long time, we forgot what we were doing. Early in the spring of 1912 it was decided that we were really to have a base-ball team. The chief drawback was the lack of suitable and convenient grounds. The place finally selected was the lower end of Brittingham Park, a section of country a short day’s journey south-west of the high school. A goodly number of candidates reported, however, and worked very cheerfully under these adverse conditions. In spite of a rather bad beginning, we had hopes of a good finish for the season. Our hopes were justified at the final game, which was played with Baraboo on the city league grounds-It was the first contest that the high-school fans could witness, and they saw their team put up a fine exhibition of baseball. The game ended with two runs to Madison’s credit, and one to the credit of Baraboo. The score shows that everybody could answer in the affirmative when the cheer-leader called, Is everybody happy? M. H. S. FOOT-HALL TEAM When the season of 1912 opened, prospects were not encouraging. The coach was new. many of last year’s players had been graduated, and enthusiasm was at a low ebb. Practice began early, however, and the boys worked hard and faithfully. As a result of exceptional coaching and strenuous practice, the team was enabled to win all its games, and. by defeating La Crosse, to close its season in a blaze of glory. To our critics and literary friends we dedicate this regulation-cut-and-dried football report. It contains nothing but facts and is guaranteed harmless. We shall now give a regular account of football in language, perhaps inelegant, but sweet and familiar to the car of the average high-school pupil. We've done our best to think of a reason why we shouldn’t have had a good team. We quit right here; we’re not man enough for the job. In the first place we had Winters. Now Winters is our idea of a regular coach. If it hadn’t been for him. these football pages would be decorated with a neat design in black crepe. Second, we had regular training quarters and hot showers. We didn’t hear about them, we didn’t see them coming, we didn’t have them promised; we had them! In connection w-ith these training quarters, we had Durb.’ He was head janitor, coal shoveller, and kick receiver. He shovelled the coal well and returned the kicks with gusto. Above all. we had a fine display of school spirit. We have so often heard knocks on our school spirit that we like to boost it when we get a chance, and this fall we had a good chance. The idea that a football team is an independent bunch of eleven men doesn’t go. Our football team represents the school, and every last boy and girl in the school. Well, after we had practiced a week or two. we went up to Richland Center and fought sand-burs one afternoon. Before we go any farther, we want to say that this wallowing around in a cloud of dust and sand-burs is no sport. The thing they call a sand-bur is something like a little nut with tacks on it instead of a shuck, and these tacks go through any foot-ball trousers that ever walked the earth. After the game we had about fifteen minutes to dress and make the station, which was somewhere over in the next township. Everybody got there finally, but many a man came rushing down the street with his suitcase in one hand and his fancy neckwear in the other. We forgot to say that we beat the Richlandcrs about 40 to 0. The next Saturday we played Jefferson. They say that Jefferson is a little town, but we should judge that since there are so few of them, they make it up in size. Anyhow the line they sent up here looked like a bunch of steam rollers. We wallowed in mud and water for forty minutes and after our victory an old gentleman called us down on the way home for not making it 60 to 0. How’s that for gratitude The next week we had a great time at Sparta. Talk about confidence! Those Spartans thought we were foolish to play them. Of course, the only thing we could do was to teach them to respect their ciders; so we wiped the earth with them. We might add that they did some wiping too. for they were good scrappers if they didn’t know much about football. They didn’t like the way Shicls’ ribs were arranged either, and tried to fix them differently. On the way home Lippert overslept and was carried on to Janesville. He returned next day, however, for they say Janesville isn't a nice place for young boys. Milwaukee came here the following Saturday and gave us the scare of our lives by plugging right through our line for the first five minutes. We came to in a short time, however, and stopped this unseemly conduct. By the way, did anybody ever sec Milwaukee play anything from any other formation except the one where the whole team line up as if they were going to start a little leap-frog? We never did. Here is where we begin a tale of woe. Ever hear of the town of Baraboo? Well, it’s that place up the line that Ringling’s circus looks after, the town of Bun. the baker of Baraboo. the one time home of Pccdlee Kramer. To make a long story short, they scored on us. and to hear them yell, you might have thought they had beaten us 100 to 0. We. the line especially, had been getting more and more feeble right along. The trouble was we had the bighead. What we played up there we don’t know. We have a dim recollection that it resembled tiddly winks. Of course, we might say that the field was rough, that the day was cold, and that the wind was blowing a howling gale; but our line was largely to blame for the seven points scored by Baraboo. The one good result of that game was that we put in regular work the next week. Some of the alumni came down, put on their war pants and showed us how they played football in the good old days. Unfortunately they had been living too high and their wind soon gave out. Their advice, however, belonged in class A. When Saturday came around we played football against La Crosse. The backficld and the line both played good football, but the way they played together was a joy forever. There was none of this light-foot-Harry stuff of having the opposing half come around and get our man before he could start. On the contrary, the opposing half was hunting a soft spot to light. The field was good, the crowd was fine, the La Crosse bunch were sports from start to finish, and altogether it was a game of which we might be proud. We tried later to get a game with Oshkosh; but. on account of the advanced stage of the season, of the inclemency of climatic conditions, or of some other eight syllabled reason. Oshkosh felt compelled to deny itself the privilege of a game with us. On the whole, it was too bad. and we extend our heart-felt sympathy. Thus ends the happy chicnide of a well ccachcd and w'cll supported team which won its games rather by playing as a whole, than by the prowess of individual players. There were, however, several men. in both backficld and line, who played remarkable football and whose names are not mentioned only because in this book we aim to give prominence to the school rather than to the individual.

This year it was not won with the ease of the years previous. In fact, the right to the title was hotly contested, being claimed by both the juniors and seniors. It was finally given to the seniors on the basis of comparative scores. Out of six games played the seniors won four and tied two, both of which were played with the juniors. The seniors, however, gained a total of ninety points against all opponents, while the juniors held a total of only sixty-six. Before the end of the foot-ball season an all-class team was picked from the four class teams. This team played two interscholastic games, one at De Forest and the other with the same team at Madison. The all-class won both games by a score of 3 to 0 and 25 to 0. They also furnished the regulars some lively competition. C'ontrary to the usual custom of awarding numerals to the champions only, every athlete who took part in six games received the numerals of his class. The all-class received a full set of numerals. This system did a great deal towards keeping the fellows interested. In addition to the class teams, there was a squad of about fifty boys who made up the light-weight teams. The squad was divided into three elevens and a total of six games was played. Although this is the first year for the lights. their games will continue to be one of the chief attractions in the minor athletics of the school.

BASKET-BALL TEAM BasketBall The first work of the basketball team was to fill some very large shoes. Immediately after the football season this difficult task was undertaken and by the time of the first game with Baraboo. sufficient progress had been made to save the Madison scalp lock by one point. For a week after this narrow escape, basketball went smoothly. At the end of that time, however, at their home in Illinois, five Sterling youths administered a defeat to our team. A strange floor and a certain left handed whirlwind seemed to be the two chief causes for this misfortune. A few days later we went to La Crosse. That high school cherished tender memories of a 21 to 0 defeat the previous fall and had determined to return the compliment. I his was done with grace and skill: and. in spite of the fact that the first half ended in a tie. when the final whistle blew. La Crosse appeared on the heavy end of the score. Several other games were played with varying success, and then La Crosse played us. again on our own floor. I his was a good exhibition of basketball and the team proved that it could now play a whole game. In the second half, the team played fine ball, but the whistle blew in time to defeat us by one point. The following afternoon Sun Prairie’s designs on the state championship were given a quiet funeral. The service held by the Madison team was simple but complete in all respects. Within the following two weeks, we played Beloit and Columbus. Because these games partook of the nature of wrestling matches, and for other good and sufficient reasons. ’ ‘He’ gave commands and all smiles ceased together.’’ RESULTS OF GAME Madison 24 Baraboo 22 Madison 36 Freeport 33 Madison 31 Stirling 43 Madison 18 La Crosse 31 Madison 40 Baraboo 13 Madison 30 Beloit 22 Madison 34 Jefferson 13 Madison 26 La Crosse 27 Madison 27 Beloit 13 Madison 33 Sun Prairie 12 Madison 37 Columbus 28 TEAM Forwards Guards Bemway Meade Stivers Kremers Marling Center Hcdquist FIRST ALL CLASS BASKETBALL THAN!

The juniors played a close second, hoping for the championship until the last moment when the seniors overwhelmed them with a score of 19 to 5. Our freshman team promises to be a worthy rival for the sophomores, who loom up very large in the horizon of next year. Besides the regular inter-class games, one was played between the faculty and the allclass team. This was the best played and most enjoyable game of the season. The score was 10 to 10 at the end of the first half, and 18 to 18 at the end of the second half. In playing the tie off. the faculty fouled; the all-class made the free throw. In the second jump, the faculty center secured the ball, shot it to the forward who caged a beautiful basket, making the game a faculty victory of 20 to 19. In baseball the fans arc numerous, as is indicated by the noise in the gymnasium during practice. But the day is coming soon when the games will be played in the open field as they were last season.

Since we could not make a treaty with the powers that be at Camp Randall, we had to do the best we could at Brittingham Park. Now, of course, Brittingham Park has beautiful shrubs amd macadam drives, but it is not what one would call training quarters for a track team. Spikes make but little impression on a macadam road; on the contrary, it is the road that makes the impression on the spikes. Now a track team without training quarters is like a 220 man with a wooden leg it’s inefficient. In spite of the fact that the track was first cousin to a stone quarry, the opening of the season brought out an assortment of speeders, strong men. and jumping-jacks. We might add that the assortment of strong men was not very complete, there being one. After four weeks of prancing up and down the hard and stony paths for the benefit of Mr. Staley, four men were selected to go to La Crosse, with the understanding that they were to partake in a track meet. Our heroes returned with mud and glory; for they had shovelled up 56 points, whereas the nearest competitor could excavate but 51. After a few weeks practice, all those who could afford it went to Waukesha to take part in the Carroll College meet. We were about to say that the winning of this meet was like ‘‘taking candy from a baby, but upon close examination we found that this figure of speech is shop worn and decided not to use it. Instead we will say. with conscious pride in our English, we overcame our opponents with ease. We should now like to say something “nice about the interscholastic, and will therefore say that it was a “nice'' day. We have done our best to make one first, and one second, add up to several firsts, a few seconds, and many thirds. We don’t seem to be very good at it. Since the management knew that the relay race would come to us as a matter of course, it was not counted as a regular event; but there was lots of satisfaction in seeing the day close with a victory for Madison.

It can be said regarding this question that every student feels that the library is one of which he can be justly proud. Although it is only two years old. it affords all the opportunities necessary for excellent reference work. When the new high school was built, the need of a school library, evidently, had not been felt. The building was completed and opened for use with no room for a library. On the second floor a large central room had been reserved for the teachers. In the fall of 1911 the school still lacked a place for reference work, all of which had to be done in the city library. Shortly before Christmas of that year, the teachers’ room was remodeled. Shelves were built and tables and chairs placed about the room. All the books which were the property of the school were brought together in this room. At first there was little reference work done as the necessary books were not at hand. By the end of the year, however, there was an increase in books. A librarian was put in charge and the books were properly catalogued. In the fall of 1912 when school opened, the library was even more ready for work. Several sets of books used in the English Classes were added. Text books for history references had been purchased, and magazines of current literature and daily newspapers were at hand. Besides these, there was an addition of books pertaining to almost every study in the high school. Reference work began in earnest, and during every period in the day the library was crowded. Owing to confusion, a second table and more chairs had to be provided. Among recent additions to the library is that of the new lights. 1 or a time, especially in the winter, the work in the library had to stop early after school. It was so poorly lighted that only those directly beneath the chandeliers were able to read. The new lights which were installed furnish excellent light for reading anywhere in the room. In this short time the library has grown rapidly, and in the future no doubt the good work will continue. It was a cold, crisp evening and the moon shone brightly on the new-fallen snow. The large fir trees in the forest were covered with snow, which sparkled so brilliantly in the moonlight as to give the appearance of Christmas trees, freely decorated. Everything was quiet save for the occasional snapping of twigs which sounded as though someone were climbing the trees; but there was no one about that could be seen by ordinary eyes. By some fairy power, however, a clearer vision could be obtained and the cause of the noise revealed. It proved to be nothing less than a sly little elf who had just awakened from his day-time sleep and had decided to awaken his fellow's. By the time three minutes had elapsed, there were at least a hundred lively little fellows who with their sly and cunning ways were ready for some prank on some unsuspecting human being. What shall we choose for our task this glorious night?” asked the first elf. wrho appeared to be the leader of this company. Every little elf stopped abruptly in whatever task he was performing and put up his finger to his forehead in a manner to denote deep thought. After nearly everyone had shaken his head so vigorously that the bells on his cap tinkled merrily, one of the elves seemed to be seized with a sudden idea which he imparted to his fellows. “They are treating that beautiful little princess shamefully.” he said in a rather mournful tone for an ever cheerful fairy. Not the little princess in yonder grand castle, surely!” demanded the leader. Yes. She is the one I mean.” continued the first speaker. They are trying to get rid of her because they don’t want a woman on the throne; and she may be killed.” This is dreadful. Who are the culprits?” questioned the leader. The imperial regents. They want to put her uncle on the throne. I really think wc ought to do something to save her. Wc might bring her here.” the informer suggested. Yes. We could do that. said the leader. Let’s go and bring her here.” The fairies started out on their journey toward the castle. Their manner of travelling is hard to describe as they seemed to sail through the air with no exertion on their part. When the elves arrived at the castle, they spent a few minutes looking for the royal nursery. At last, after going through several rooms and up a flight of stairs, they found the little princess sleeping quietly in her cradle. Her blue eyes were closed and her soft flaxen hair curled about her forehead. One chubby little fist was thrust up to her rosy cheek in such a way as to display the dimples on her hand. The elves gazed and were awed. They looked first at the baby and then at each other while the iittle princess slept peacefully wholly unconscious of their presence. The elves decided to take the princess, cradle and all. open the window and go through that way instead of down the stairs and through the rooms. They carried her away over the snowy fields and village housetops back to their woodland abode. When they reached the forest, the elves set their burden gently on the snow and held a consultation as to what they should do with her. They wished very much to keep her themselves. but they knew it would be better for her to place her among human beings. We might take her over to the poor peasants who live in that little cottage at the foot of the hill. suggested one of the company. They have lost their own little girl and I'm sure they would be very happy to have this princess to take her place. Accord ngly that n ght they deposited the baby and cradle in front of the fireplace in the peasant’s cottage. In the morning, when the peasants discovered the child their surprise and joy were beyond words. They could not imagine who had left her. but they hoped it was a fairy power, for to have the fairies on their side was a sure sign of good luck all their lives. The peasant couple treated the little princess with great kindness and she lived in this happy abode until her seventeenth birthday. On that day. someth ng very unexpected happened. She went down to the spring and as she stooped down to fill her pitcher she saw her image reflected in the water. She gazed for a long time, for her whole appearance seemed to be changed. Instead of her old dress which was made of coarse cloth, she was dressed in a gown of beautiful, costly material. There were jewels on her wrists and a necklace of pearls about her neck. Noreen! Noreen!” she heard someone calling. She turned quickly and saw a handsome youth dressed in riding habit with leather boots and gauntlets. She was very much surprised to see so handsome a youth and especially one who was so well dressed. Suddenly she felt very much ashamed of her own costume and wished she were dressed as was her image in the spring. She looked down at her dress and felt as though she were in a dream for the spring had revealed her image correctly. The youth advanced and bowed deeply. I have been looking for you. he said. You do not know me; I am the future ruler’of this kingdom. I have been waiting for you a long time. Waiting for me! cried the astonished Noreen, feeling very humble in speaking to a prince. Surely you must be mistaken. Perhaps you arc not aware that 1 am only a peasant girl.” You a peasant girl! laughed the prince. No. indeed. You will have your kingdom restored to you and we shall rule together. ' The prince then explained that he had heard from the fairies the story of the life of Noreen and they had urged him to take the throne and rule with her. The following week there was much feasting in the royal castle. There were balls and banquets, hunting expeditions and tournaments, in honor of the new queen. Nor was there a prouder and happier man than the young king. What is your greatest wish? he asked Noreen. You may have any desire granted, if you will only express it. What will you have?” The queen thought for a moment and then said. “My greatest wish is that my foster father and mother may live the rest of their lives in the castle with their every want attended to as a reward for the kindness they have shown me. Helen Piper Th© ©imtoff The scene of this simple narrative is laid in the Tavern of the Cross-bow. in the spring of I 765. Seated before the blazing hearth are two men, evidently colonial gentlemen, earnestly engaged in conversation discussing the all-important topic of the day. the Stamp Act. I tell you, John. England shall not impose this act upon us as long as we have such leaders as Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams! exclaimed the elder of the two men. John puffed his long pipe and after some deliberation, shook his head and said. Ay, my friend, these two men have the right feeling. Would to God there were more like them! But I’m afraid the tyranny of England will not be lessened with speeches, but with action.— real action. His hard eyes glittered and he smote his fist upon his knee. This struggle with England will end in war—nothing else! His friend looked at him in some surprise and said. I fear you arc right. John, but could you only have heard that bold and radical advocate of liberty. Patrick Henry, exclaim before the House of Burgesses; ’Caesar had his Brutus. Charles I, his Cromwell, and George 111 (Treason! Treason! from several members) may profit by their example. If that be treason make the most of it.' is not such a fiery spirit of patriotism enough to inspire firm loyalty in the hearts of his countrymen? The old man had arisen in his excitement and standing before his friend, said in a very tender voice. Ay, I remember him as a lad. John, and a sturdy one he was! F.vcn at that, time he would deliver speeches from an old box in his brother's store to a crowd of gaping admirers. At times he would jump from the box. carried away by his enthusiasm! John nodded in approval, slowly arose from his seat, and walked over to where a copy of the Stamp Act hung upon the wall. Yes.” he muttered to himself. Caesar had his Brutus. Charles I. his Cromwell, and George III shall have the blood of many innocent citizens upon his head. He turned around to his companion and said. 1 here is only one true friend of the Americans in England. and that is William Pitt. He sympathises with our grievances, for did he not say. by the latest report. Parliament had a right to legislate for the Americans, and to bind them in all causes, whatsoever, except to take their money out of their pockets, without their consent! However, Kdmond Burke did not think so much of the right of taxation, but said it was unwise to tax us. as it would cause disturbance and ill-feeling. He laughed bitterly and bidding his friend good night, he left the tavern. The old man sat gazing dreamily into the fire, trying to picture the American colonists as free and independent citizens. He saw the figure of a man tall and trong. with an earnest look and eloquent eyes, rise up in the blue flames. The man was standing before a great body of men. some of whom were regarding him with contempt, pleading for his country, and calling upon them to aid his people in the making of a great nation. The figure of the man was very much like Patrick Henry, and his voice rose and fell, with powerful strength and yet, with a strange sweetness, becoming softer and sweeter, trailing along into complete silence. The old man had fallen asleep. The fire in the grate burned low. and the sleepy tavern keeper yawned and stretched himself lazily. He then arose and bent over the old man. Touching him on the shoulder, he told him that it was past twelve o’clock, by the cuckoo on the wall. The old man awoke with a start, and gazing dreamily at the tavern-keeper said; Ah! Joel. 1 had a wonderful dream! I saw Patrick Henry. Samuel Adams, and many other leaders of our nation signing a declaration of American Independence. Bessie O’Neil h Tk iaksgavssjig Ttissriksj Early in the summer of 1775, while Boston was besieged by the British. Persis Burr had gone to visit her aunt who lived in the country two miles from Boston. By the aid of the captain who was quartered at the Burr home, she had passed the sentinels. For even British captains can be polite when they wish favors and captain Humphrey was not an exception. On this visit Persis’ aunt had promised her a turkey for I hanksgiving. Thus it was that for weeks Persis and the little Burrs had been loo ing forward to their Thanksgiving dinner. For when one has been living on frugal fare during the whole siege, a turkey dinner is a great treat. It was the evening before Thanksgiving and Per is was preparing to go for the precious bird. Now that the captain was away she wou d have difficulty in passing the sentinels. As she put on her Red Riding-Hood. she felt guilty, for Persis was a Quaker and never wore bright colors. But she thought that in this case red might conveniently deceive some one. Then she took a basket for her turkey and a cowbell for emergencies. As her aunt lived south of Boston, she walked in that direction until she came to two crossroads. There she chose the darker one to escape the sentinel’s vigilance. She passed him without difficulty and continued her way safely until she had almost reached her aunt's house. Suddenly at a hillside she heard voices and stepped quickly into the woods on the side of the road just as a regiment of British soldiers came over the hill. In spite of her caution, she stepped on a dry twig. One of the soldiers stopped and listened. Didn’t you hear something. Jack? he asked. Persis gently rang her bell and kept ringing it with every step. Go on. Tom. said Jack. Don’t be so suspicious. 11 is only a cow. When she finally arrived. Persis went into the house where she found her aunt seated before the fire. My dear child. said her aunt, putting her arms around her. I was so anxious about you! I was sorry I had told you to come.—but the turkey is so fine and fat! I have him all ready for you. I’ll put him in your basket so you will not forget him. As if such a thing were possible! She added laughing. Here the conversation was interrupted by loud knocking and a peremptory voice calling, Open the door! I command you in the name of the British! 1 wonder what those soldier want. muttered her aunt. “You b?tt?r hid?. As Persis was very much afraid of the British and their ungentlcmanly treatment of the colonists, she quickly carried out her aunt’s suggestion. Being conveniently small, she slipped behind the bookcase just as the men came tramping into the room. Supper! ordered the leader; and quickly too. After supper had been served and the men had satisfied their appetites, the leader ordered all from the room and drew to a table a man. who. because of his tired air and mud spattered clothes, had apparently come some distance. Suddenly his eyes fell on the turkey lying in the basket just as Persis anti her aunt had left it Wait a minute. he called to one of his orderlies. “What’s this turkey doing here? Is someone here? Search the room! Then indeed did Persis tremble. Although the soldiers looked in every other nook and corner, they did not look behind the bookcase as it seemed impossible that anyone could squeeze into so small a place. No one here. Sir. he said, saluting. Go. then. said the leader; but station a man at each door and window. Then turning to his companion eagerly, he demanded. What did Gage say? Gage said that he was going to attack Boston tomorrow. He has planned to meet Howe. Clinton, and Pigott at Charlestown. The united forces will amount to five thousand men. They will storm Dorchester Heights and that position will enable them to capture Boston easily. You’re to meet them just north of the city. Persis listened intently to every point and when they finally left, she hastily said good-by to her aunt, and, forgetting the all-imj ortant turkey, hurried back. She reached Boston just before the regiment arrived. She had no difficulty in entering the city as the trustworthy sentinel was sound asleep. She went directly to headquarters and told all she had heard. The next day. although she had no turkey. Persis Burr had a most happy Thanksgiving as she knew that in helping to save Boston she had a true cause to be thankful. Dorothy Hart. Th© ©£ J@© A limp figure was trying to raise himself out of the mass of humanity that was piled on the ground. What! was the only one who had been able to penetrate the defense of the red and black going to be taken out? That muscle has bucked again. muttered the trainer; he docs not seem to be able to go back. The poor fellow was assisted off the field to the locker room. No one realized his condition; he looked all right: not even his fellows really knew. The cold shower stung him like needles and he felt like crying out when he received his rubdown: even the trainer did not seem to realize how serious was the injury. As the blanched sweaty faces came piling into the room, he read the result; no one need tell him. He also knew without being told that, in their hearts, his teammates thought him a coward. dime wore on and the world forgot; but not so Joe. Some day he would show them. Next fall Joe was out for the team. From the first night’s practice, when he broke a fellow’s leg by tackling him too hard, it seemed as though there were something almost revengeful about his methods. As the season wore on. the papers gave detailed accounts of the remarkable work of the great right half, the main cog of the wonderful scoring machine. The big day arrived; a bright blue sky with a few hazy clouds floating over head and just enough frost in the air to make the blood tingle. As the two rivals trotted up and dowm the field warming for the battle, cheer after cheer rolled forth from the great mass of spectators, a coin spun in the air. the teams took their positions; one tense moment, and the game was on. The oval soared high into the outstretched hands of the eager right half, who was downed without gaining a yard. Directly a punting duel ensued. Neither side could gain and the tide of battle surged back and forth for the rest of the half. To one man in the locker room, the fifteen minutes between halves dragged on like hours. 1 he coach, a short stocky man. was standing on a table shouting, commanding, pleading; but the lone figure in the come did not hear. He wanted to be at it again; he was sure he could do it. Out onto the field trotted the eleven men. with minds made up to do or die, to place the oval across the last white line of the red and black. I ligh in the air once more soared the pigskin, w-hcrc it seemed to stop before it nestled in the arms of the right half. With a stiff arm he evaded the first tackier. The second dived at him, but missed. By this time his in- terfcrcncc had nearly cleared the field for him, no one remaining before him but the safety. As he was being edged toward the sideline he noticed the set look in his opponent's face. Just as he seemed to go out of bounds, he shifted the ball to his other arm. shoved down the head of the diving tackier and was now free with no one between him and the goal. The great crowd rose simultaneously and with one accord cheered the man who had saved the day. The heart was taken out of the opponents; they seemed already beaten. The remaining time was stubbornly fought, while the red and black contented themselves with playing on the defensive. Joe further covered himself with glory, by playing harder, as time progressed, and fighting hard until the whistle blew. As the dusk of evening was falling, a lone figure emerged from the locker house. The massive stadium, now empty, gazed down upon him like a huge gray spectre. He gave one last look across the field of battle, where the shadows were fast fading, shoved his hands into his pockets, and walked away. He was satisfied; he had proved himself. Herbert Kramer Tin© P®aiM @f View The bell had just rung, dismissing classes for the day. The students were moving here and there, some full of business and others wandering aimlessly along the halls. Soon the halls were almost deserted; two girls, only, remained, talking excitedly. “1 don’t care. said one. 1 think Jack might have asked me to go to ’’ll frovatore” with him! Since that Mildred Pierce came, he has been so distant. I don’t sec what there is abou t her so attractive, and Jack is the only fellow who seems to have anything to say to her.” Well. 1 think he should have asked you. because he always has until she came. She is rather queer; but just the same, there is something fascinating about her. I wonder how she became acquainted with Jack. 1 don’t think she is in any class with him and she doesn't live near him. Oh! the artful creature! I don't believe I shall ever like her. Here she comes now. and with Jack. He has gone home with her every night since she entered school. Hello, Jack!” “Hello, girls, how are you? By the way. I want you to meet my cousin. Mildred Pierce. She has just moved to Madison and I have been looking out for her a little. She feels rather strange and 1 should be awfully glad if you girls would help her to meet our mutual friends.” Pm sure we are delighted to meet you and will certainly help you to know everybody. Are you going? Good-by. Will sec you Monday. Mildred and Jack moved away. The two girls looked at each other. I believe you’re right, said Helen. She is attractive.” Gladys Tyrrel ©©is Fff®iss Af ff It was a cold, stormy winter day. The wind howled about the house, rattling the dead brown limbs of the trees against the window panes. The wind-swept street looked cold and forsaken. A few snow flakes scurried down past the window, and I was glad to turn from this dismal view to the warm comfortable room within. Before me was a pile of old books. I had been rummaging about for some time in the worn, musty volumes, when I came upon an old English note-book. It was filled with rules, and quotations from poems we had read in our English class. One quotation especially interested me and made me think of a little experience of the past summer. I do not know from what the lines were taken, but these were the words: Unto him who stands afar Nature’s marvels greatest are; Who the mountain purple seeks Must not climb the higher peaks. T he last weeks of summer had been beautiful. Each day was ideal, with the deep blue sky overhead fleeced with snowy clouds, the green earth below alive with growing things and the lake a sea of blue and green. We used to sit for hours under the trees to hear the leaves rustling in the slight breeze, the waves washing gently against the sandy shores. Around the lake in the distance could be seen a point of land jutting out. and behind it a gently sloping hill. It was the most beautiful view on the lake, expecially just at sunset, when the deep purple shore stood out against the gold and crimson sky. Every day we determined to explore this beautiful spot, but were kept from it by one plan and another. One day. however, we actually started on our long planned trip. There were six of us in two old row-boats as we gaily set forth. After skirting the shores and rowing in and out among the curves and bays, we came in sight of the place so famed for its beauty. But where was the beautiful sweeping shore, the purple hills We saw nothing but a rough steep bank and a sandy deserted beach. We were plainly disappointed, and when we saw dark clouds rising in the distance, we wished we had never come. The weather looked threatening. our boat was leaking, and no help was in sight. We decided to start for home in spite of our unsafe boat. This time w’c cut straight across, leaving the shore far behind us. and just as we came in sight of our port, the rain began to pour down. With great difficulty we landed, and it was a drenched, sorry-looking crowd that fled to the shelter of the house. The next morning the sun rose over the same beautiful view. The shore curved invitingly. the hill stood out purple against the faintly pink sky. We. however, decided to enjoy the peace from afar, for Unto him who stands afar. Nature’s marvels greatest are. Lillian Moehlman. Auadateffaunra Ess©srciis@s In addition to the plays mentioned elsewhere, throughout the year the pupils have given special auditorium exercises, some during and some after school. These have been made possible by the fact that Miss Cooper has given her whole time to expression work. The programs have varied, including oral and written compositions upon many subjects, scenes from literature, scenes from history, discussions in science, and other exercises. Special programs drawn from various departments were given in each class in honor of Perry Day, Peace Day, and Memorial Day. One of the best results of these exercises and the plays is the fact that so many pupils, almost three hundred, have been given the opportunity to take part. SOME PROGRAMS PRESENTED From Literature From History Scenes from “Ivanhoe The Second Continental Congress Scenes from Julius Caesar I he Great Elizabeth Scenes from '‘Macbeth” Illustrations from Greek Life Scenes from ‘‘Silas Marncr' From Civics From Science Election Program The Conservation of Health Civic Activities The Silk Industry Birds. Aisi H3)©jp ff4m©ffl4 Warn KI©ini®ff§ Through the work of Miss Leona Ray. the art department of the Madison High School has won recognition in a national drawing contest. The American Crayon Company in order to determine the best crayons for public school use, planned a contest open to all the public schools of America. One first prize, five second prizes, and fifty honorable mentions were given. The subject of each drawing to be submitted was to be still life executed in colored crayons. The fact that Henry Turner Bailey, the well known art critic and lecturer, was one of the judges adds importance to the awarding of prizes. The drawing submitted by Leona Ray. a sophomore, consisted of a green wicker covered bottle and two oranges so arranged on glass that the form and color were reflected in the glass. Through this drawing. Miss Ray was fortunate enough to be one of the five to win a second prize. Miss Ray became so interested in this particular study, that when she found the company reserved the right to retain all prize winning drawings, she immediately arranged and drew a similar one. ar’n’t they dear?

I dreamed that we had hard quizzes no more, That geometry was no longer a bore. That matinee dances come every week. That music was played that couldn’t be beat. 1 dreamed that there were always Ex’s for all. That the faculty gave a society ball. I dreamed that Dinny” hated cut flowers. That all session rooms were regular bowers. I dreamed that Bill Kcrguson got a new' hat. That Bob Ellis was trying to reduce his fat. That Miss Sell forgot to give out a lesson. That basket-ball practice was considered a blcssin’. I dreamed that the Tychoberahn board has a snap. That Miss Murphy never made you go to the map. 1 dreamed that 1 lerb Cremcrs never wore a loud tic. That for our absences we ne’er told a lie. I dreamed that Bill” Mack never wore loud socks. That the V-7 French class’ heads weren’t blocks. I dreamed that the orchestra got a new piece. That contributions for the Tychoberahn never did cease. But the last dream I dreamed was the queerest of all,— That when the students come back in the fall. They found that the faculty had all been fired. That the whole 1913 class had been hired. Miss Whittaker—Where is the first meridian? Sam Machlis—In Grecnbush. “Ray Morrissey’s got the blues again. How’s that? I was walking along the hall and I saw Dorothy Slightcm. “You don’t say so.

Learn the peculiar points which each teacher emphasises (they all have them) and govern yourself accordingly. Moreover, if a teacher wants you to do a thing a certain way, don't do it the other way just for excitement. You will get the excitement, but no mark. Don't boast of the standing you expect to get in an examination. If your mark is good, it is no better than you boasted. If it is poor, nobody will let you forget it.

The formal opening of the splendid new high school stadium was held this afternoon. The speaker of the day was J. Payton, a white-haired veteran nearly ninety yean of age. He recalled the days when he attended school, and spoke with pride of the time when Madison had the finest teams in the state. His kindly speech, addressed to the boys of the school admonishing them to appreciate their advantages and take pride in their athletic field, was well received. Mr. Pay-ton was eloquent in his praise of the stadium. He said that he himself had been an athlete in his younger clays and could, therefore, appreciate its excellence. The great edifice is constructed of stone after the plan of the Roman circus. Beneath the scats are dressing rooms equipped with every modem convenience. In the arena is an excellent cinder track and the inclosed field furnishes a place for interscholastic aeroplane races. Mr. Payton expressed surprise that it was not fitted up for football, which he called a regular game. After thorough search in old records, it has been ascertained that football was a form of fighting in early years in which no weapons were allowed except heavy cleated shoes. The use of the adjective regular is not understood. It is supposed that this game was played chiefly by an organization known as the regular army; but. as that institution has also gone out of existence, we arc unable to secure data on the subject.

School Declines Union Honors THREE MARTYRS TO THE CAUSE OF EDUCATION Great excitement was cause ! today when the report went forth that school hours were to be shortened. During the twenty minute period Professor Jones addressed the assembled students with these words. Boys and girls, we always have your welfare at heart. We rejoice at your successes. Wc grieve at your misfortunes. We were, therefore, deeply affected when we saw that school work was becoming more of a burden than you could l car. Wc were heartily sorry that this was true; but since it was, we decided that something must be done immediately. Wc have therefore decided to shorten school hours to one short session a day and to lengthen the summer vacation to four months. Wc sincerely hope that this will alleviate the situation; and you may be assured that the three who have broken down under the strain. Mr. Me Murry. Mr. Stivers, and Mr. Hyland, will be well cared for at the hospital. Immediately after school, at the request 0 the stricken three, a mass meeting was held and. with Mr. Bondi presiding, it was decided that the offer of union hours should be declined with suitable expressions of THANKS. The general opinion was that the time could not be spared from school work. All honor to the noble three. New Book in School Recent reports assure us that a new book, the 1913 Tychoberahn, is being edited by the Madison High. Members of the staff have been informed that this publication existed to some extent in past years. These rumors arr indefinite, although careful investigation has brought to light several books bearing the same name, but evidently dealing with another subject. At least they did not sufficiently resemble the i rescnt book to make comparison POSSIBLE. There are several things about this book which make an especial appeal to a newspaper man. Wc are delighted to note that all pictures are of uniform size and mounted on uniform background. The departments of the hook are clearly distinguishable and neat running headings arc used throughout. All these little points give the book a business-like touch which amateur work so often lacks. These features, in combination with the interesting stories and jokes, assure the success of the new Tychoberahn. and we extend hearty congratulations to all who were instrumental in its publication. Fire Scare at High School Smoke issued from the domestic science room. Suddenly through the deathly stillness of the sixth period came the wild alarm of the fire gong. At the first stroke. I throughout the school all work was 1 dropped; at the second, every pupil turned I in his seat: at the third, all stood in their places; and at the fourth, they filed into I the hail . Great volumes of smoke were rolling up from the basement, but, with the steady tread of veterans the leaders marched down the halls and out of doors. Every pupil followed in perfect step and in thirty-seven minutes all were on their way out of the building. Every teacher remained at its post and by calm demeanor contributed much to the order of the proceedings. Indeed, it was touching to the kind regard of tho teachers for their puoils. The building had not been emptied when the fire company arrived. Tho men dashed to the domestic science department as the most likely seat of the fire. There they | found a large consignment of hard tack being converted into charcoal. So accustomed were the girls to the smoke that they had thought nothing of it and when the firemen rushed in tncy looked up in surprise. What is the matter? was the innocent query. The heroes of the rubber hats gave one groan and dropped to tho floor. They were not 'revived until the company had returned to the station. With the first signs of returning life “What is the matter? they feebly chorused. Harloff in Court for Speeding A character who gave his name as Motor- S'dc Mike was taken by Sheriff Call urmaster yesterday morning on the charge ! of running down the Madison High School. I After cross examination by judge Hcimcrl. the prisoner admitted that his real name was Otto Harloff. He was released on the ground that the school obstructed his progress. Terrible Flood in High School PUPILS HAVE NARROW ESCAPE April 1. A madly spouting radiator in Mr. Teter's room endangered the lives of many pupils at a o'clock this afternoon. The nicklo thingumbob on the end was blown to the ceiling and a great volume of hissing water spouted up like a young geyser. As the school has no flood drill, the pupils did not know how to proceed; but under the calm directions of Mr. Teter they mounted thetr desks and waited for the flood to abate. The tide kept rising, however, and soon madly seething waters threatened to cut off all escape. L. Schlich-ter came to the rescue with an idea, however. and all began hopping nimoly from desk to desk and thence into the hall. This maneuver was executed with especial grace by W. Werner and E. Quinn, who came skipping out hand in hand. Last of all came Gerald Stivers clutching his books to his heart. It seems that the lad could not bear to sec them perish and had risked his life to save his treasures. The damage done by the flooJ was inestimable, but the greatest single loss was the entire amount of material for the Tychoberahn joke section. It seems that a large number of genuine jokes had been handed in and stoned in Mr. Teter's cupboard. The water, however, made them illegible, and they had to be rcplcaced by a large amount of hand made humor. This should serve as a warning to the management, and it is hoped hat in the future all valuables will be kept Jn the safe. “The Merchant of Venice” on High School Stage SHAKESPEARE'S TRAGEDY WELL PLAYED Shakespeare's drama “The Merchant of Venice was tragically produced at the high-school auditorium Friday afternoon and evening, under the direction of Miss Cornelia Cooper. The programs printed on the Indigestive press were easily the feature of the evening. Mr. Joseph Denting. who played the part of Shylock. proved very efficient, and Mr. Lacey, who assisted as Tubal, dropped the scales very effectively. It is true that they dropped one speech too soon; but nevertheless, they clattered wjth gusto and thus their end was accomplished. Mr. Glen Hough-land. who played the part of Antonio, also assisted in the orchestra when not speaking; fiddling at his own funeral, as it were. Again and again Mr. Kenneth Shiels thrilled the audience by the clever way in which he raised and lowered the curtain. Between the matinee and the evening performance the cast was refreshed by a most excellent supper in the domestic science—ahem I—kitchen. As a slight relish, Old Gobbo (Wm. Marshall), and the apod Duke of Venice, got away with twenty-six olives. The seeds they carefully planted in Bas-sanio'a hat and are now anxiously awaiting the return of the costumes next year to see if there are any young olive trees in evidence. Portia was shocked to think that old gentlemen should engage in such childish amusement. Cruel Murder Discovered On Monday the 23rd three geraniums were found dead in room 104. R. Kcntzler and H. Gath are held as suspects. It is claimed that the victims were deprived of water by the accused and death from thirst resulted. LITERARY INDIGESTION, AUGUST 13. 1913 Editorials audience?

(LATEST BULLETIN) On account of the huge sum demanded by the Madison Musicians the Metropolitan (Irand Opera Company is unable to close the deal with Mr. Gnndcll. THE FRESHMEN The freshman has heretofore lx en considered a species of vegetation. Verdant innocence has been considered his chief characteristic, and availability as a butt for feeble jokes his only value. This, however. is a misconception. A freshman is merely a senior in the process of develop inent. It is true that in some cases the process has not been carried ery far; but this is not the freshman's fault. He is usually proud of the first year class, but earnestly strives to become a senior and should, therefore, lie encouraged. All's well that ends well. Since these things are true, wc are glad to see thut the tot t Tychobcrahn has been dedicated to the first year class. It also S'vc u great joy to sec that the annual is refrained from perpetrating upon the freshman the usual quota of feeble jokes. In this respect something genuinely original has been accomplished. The founder of the antique system of bringing freshmen into joke columns has not been located. Wc have reason to believe that his remains lie buried in ancient Rome i� r that his ashes will be discovered among the ruins of Pompeii. TWENTY MINUTE PROGRAMS Wc wish to speak a word of commendation concerning the new and improved system of twenty minute programs. These short entertainments were produced by the various department and something i ntcr-csting was presented nearly every week. There are many benefits to be derived from such a system, first and foremost of which is the opportunity to escape twenty minutes of study. Secondly, they offer a chance to have a little amusement at the expense of those who are compelled to take part.

The only one who did not seem to achieve intimacy was Beitway, who spent the greater part of his time swinging at arms length from the ends of E. I.. Moore's fingers.

Fredricks, for 18 years head track coach of Vale Well, boys, perhaps you would like to hear the story of mv greatest race. It was the half mile of the Wisconsin Inter-scholastic when I was a school boy at Madison. We didn't have much of a train that year. In fact. I was the main stay of the aggregation. Before a meet. Coach Winters often used to say. Well. I don't know whether we shall win or not this afternoon, hut 1 can count on Fredricks for a first in the mile and half mile and a second in the quarter. You see he relied ujion me ax the strong man. Well, to come to my story -It was a cold day with a high wind. Right there was my first disadvantage. I don't like to run on a cold day and I am so large that a high wind retards my speed. At the crack of the gun. however, we were off. and. according to my custom. I ran the fir t quar-I ter slowly. I then increased my speed and ' began to take the cover off the track. At . the 320 mark in the last lap my shoe came off. an accident which would have caused many a runner to falter, but not me. There were still three men ahead of me and I Ix-gan sprinting with every nerve to over-lake them. The cinders pained my foot terribly, hut I kept heavily on ar.d at the hundred yard mark I hail overtaken all but one. With a game spurt I came abreast of him and we fought it out to the finish. Needless to say 1 won. I ut I had only one foot to spare. The moral of this story is; If you want your horn well blown, blow it yourself.

Voice of the Pupils THE SICS I SC. or EXCUSES: To the Editor: Dear Sir: There is a crying need in our high school which calls for attention. I refer to the matter of writing our own excuses for absence. As a student of model character and tender conscience. 1 abhor the practice. It tends to lower the moral standard of our school. It places temptation in the paths of youth and leads the innocent , astray. It unfits a pupil for an honest life liecause it teaches him to deceive the teacher; it also unfits him for the life of a crook, because deception is so easy that it gives j him no training in the ways of crook . Therefore. I beg of you. consider especially the future of our freshmen and use your influence to have this act repealed.
