De Pauw University, ’03 English SOME FACULTY SNAPSHOTS The resignation of Mr. Jones is a great loss to the Madison High School. The Tycho-berahn wishes to express to him the regret and sorrow of both teachers and pupils, regret that the school is to lose his wise guidance, sorrow that cordial relationships are to be broken. As the head of a large school. Mr. Jones has shown unusual gifts. He is progressive, yet in the introduction of new subjects and new methods he acts only after careful investigation and mature thought. For fads he has but little sympathy. Convinced, however, that an idea is right, he is indefatigable in achieving his ends. Absolutely fearless, he meets opposition vigorously and overcomes it by a logic supported by facts and by a persuasive manner difficult to understand. Teachers will miss in Mr. Jones an advisor, ever ready to share their difficulties, now suggesting, now encouraging, always sympathetic. Pupils will lose a friend deeply interested in their work and in their play, but above all interested in them as boys and girls with faults to be corrected and with virtues to be cultivated. Not all of our students have been so fortunate as to have personal dealings with him. Nevertheless, he has known them and has thought and planned for them. Happy are those who have been summoned to his office, whether for censure or praise, for there they have been face to face with a MAN.

Even Gibbon, let a’one Channing, could express only a small portion of its greatness. If the president of the United States should ask. Who are the most illustrious group of people in the world? the answer would come without a moment's hesitancy. That group which graduated from the Madison High School in 1914.” When Mr. Jones first saw us. in September. 1911, he sighed and said. “Alas! what is this high school coming to? There we were, thicker than grass in an onion patch, in everybody’s way. standing in little groups gazing at the dignified upper-classmen like farmers at a skyscraper. In a little while, we were herded into a large room, which later we learned to call the auditorium, and told of the great responsibility which would be ours. Our greatness, however, was not long hidden. One of our members made the football team: and our basketball team, by nearly capturing the championship, caused not a little speculation. In our Sophomore and Junior years, the stock of the class of 1914 soared out of sight. Not only in athletics did we excel, but in that almighty element, brains. If a poor little Freshman dared ask who the stars of the football, basketball, and baseball teams were, the answer was always. Oh! he’s a member of the class of 1914!” In our Senior year—Ah! where is the man with the mighty pen? Friends, be not deceived by my meager description of this wonderful year, which will stand in the history of the school as the most fruitful, and startling year it has or ever will experience! Who. prithee, made up the championship football team? Members of the class of 1914. Who made up the championship basketball team? Members of the rlass of 1914. Who made up the undefeated debating teams? Members of the class of 1914. Is that not greatness enough to place our class on the pedestal of immortal fame? If not. ask yourself what question you will, the answer will be. Members of the class of 1914! Mark ye, friends, the president of the United States in 1938 will boast, I have the distinction of being a member of the class of 1914, of the Madison High School!” Fred Curtiss Allberg, Elmer Content to know and be unknown.

JPrQjplhiecy fi©ff ftlk© Class ©ff 1914 (As given by Clara Fauerbach and Otto Myrland) Setting: Small stand with a telephone at center. Writing table with writing materials at right. (Enter Clara at left, crosses over to right, picks up paper) Where was I, let me see.—We last left our hero riding across the desert, pursued by a band of Arabs. The distance between them grows shorter and shorter, when suddenly— Now for an inspiration. What shall 1 have happen to him? (Telephone rings) Oh dear, that telephone! What will Editor Coffman say. if I don't get this story in on time? (Rises and goes to the phone) Hello! (Irritably) Voice at the other end: Hello. Is this Miss Fauerbach. the sensational reporter for the Typical Boy? Clara: Yes. Voice: Don't you know who this is? Clara: Why the voice seems familiar, but 1 don't believe I do. Voice: Don’t you remember about ten years ago when we gave the class history? Clara: Why Otto Myrland. what are you doing in Madison? Otto: Oh, I'm traveling for Doctor Vernon's toilet preparations. You remember Rex Vernon’s red cheeks which used to be the envy of the school— Clara: Yes indeed! Otto: Well, he was finally compelled to give up the secret and now he is making his fortune out of it. and he and his wife. Avis Peters, are living in luxury. I’ve been looking up some of our old classmates and I thought you'd know of some. Clara: I heard from Marjorie Hendricks the other day and she seems to be very happy. She was married about two years ago. Otto: Then she didn’t become a missionary? Clara: Oh mercy no! Though I don't doubt she could have converted every China- man over there. She could make one believe black was white. Joe Deming gave up his career also for a girl with blue eyes, long black eyelashes and braids twined about her head. Otto: Is that so? I read accounts in the papers which said he was the best Shakesper- ian actor since Sothern. But then 1 don’t blame him any. Tell me some more gossip, this is interesting. Clara: Well, let me see. Oh. you remember Bea Humiston’s dramatic ability, don’t you? Well she succeeded Miss Cooper as dramatic teacher in the Madison High School. The plays she produces are fully as successful as Miss Cooper's were and she is just as much adored by the pupils as her predecessor. Oh—couldn't you come up and have lunch with me? It is so unsatisfactory to talk over the phone. Otto: Why—thank you. I should like to very much. Clara: Good. Hurry along, because we have got lots to talk about. Goodbye! Otto: Goodbye! (Hangs up receiver.) Clara: My what a surprise! (Goes to her writing desk and arranges some papers.) What is the use of trying to finish that story now? Say, maybe I’ll get an idea for a story from some of his adventures. Rex Vernon's history wouldn’t be a bad plot. (Knock at the door and Clara goes and opens it. Otto enters.) Why, how do you do. Otto. My it seems good to see you. Brings back old times don’t you know. Say, you haven’t changed a bit. Otto: Maybe not, for I find that by using the cold cream which I sell 1 shall have ex- ternal youth. You haven’t changed to any great extent. Clara: You are right, (aside) I’m still Clara Fauerbach. I haven’t changed as much as some of the members of our class. Otto: No, you haven’t. Do you remember Bill Bordon? I met him in London last summer and my how aged he seemed! Bill is an actor of unusual ability. Clara: Bill an actor? What does he act? Otto: He takes the part of Touchtone, the clown, in As You Like It. I had a short talk with him and he asked me. among other things, what had become of Allan Slichter but I hadn’t heard from Al for nine years and so I was unable to answer him. Clara: Al Slichter is a lawyer in Madison. Didn’t you know that Allan and Mary Porter were in partnership? Their only rival is the firm of Burlingame and Potter. Otto: What! Is Mary Porter a lawyer and in partnership with Slichter? Well of all things! Allan was a bright boy in school but he seemed to be very quiet and a boy of few words. Clara: You remember how short Allan was. Well, one day I met him coming from Doctor Quick's office and found out the cause of his shortness. “You sec it’s like this.” Al said, “when Dr. Quick had examined me. he said 'Why Mr. Slichter, the cause for your smallness of stature is simply this. All of the nourishment taken into your body goes to support that massive brain of yours.’ ’ Otto: So Armand Quick is a Doctor in this town. Well our class turned out another Doctor of no little fame by the name of Paul Segerson. He is a dentist and is world renowned for the deliberate and thoughtful way in which he extracts teeth. Do you remember John Warner?’ Clara: I certainly do. He played the part of a minister in the Courtship of Miles Stan- dish. You know he married Eva Melby. After she graduated, he got her a position as teacher at Merrill Springs. A few years afterwards they were married. They are much beloved by the community in which he preaches. He always dismisses his congregation with. “Brethren depart in peace, may the hand of the Lord go with you.” Otto: Talking about preachers, did you know that Howard Eaton was a preacher also? He is, even though you don’t know it. He is down in Mexico converting the ignorant natives. Clara: Is that so? Others of our class won fame down there. Marion Cranefield won a name for himself as a sprinter. When the first shot was fired Marion turned and fled and hasn’t been heard of since. Otto: I heard about his remarkable run and from the letter that I got a week ago from Neewll Dodge another of our class. I learned that Marion had been seen by Newell in a village which is built on the north pole. Newell was up there bidding for the right of building a canal from the North Pole to Mexico. Talking about Mexico reminds me that General Me Murray and Lieutenant Owen made a name for the Madison High School in the last Mexican War. MacMurry and his wife, who. by the way. is a classmate of ours, Alice King by name, were very prominent in society down there. Clara: Talking about society. Helen Parkinson and Josephine Ferguson have opened an ultra fashionable academy in New York. They teach their own walk called the hoppety- skip to the Elite of New York. This new gait has made quite a hit and has displaced the old Debutant Slouch. Loretta Tormey is in the same school. She teaches the cultivation of a continuous giggle. Otto: Some more of our classmates became teachers. I hear that Calla Burmeister and Herbert Cramer arc the Athletic directors of an eastern college. They are to be married shortly. Clara: Well Calla realized her ambition then—I mean about becoming a gym teacher. Otto: That did sound rather ambiguous at first. Oh. that reminds me! Is the case between Bill Marling and Mclva Pengelly still on? Clara: No. that is a sad story. Madison has just gotten over talking about it. Melva surprised everybody by marrying Richard Marshall. It broke poor Bill all up and he has never recovered. Otto: Too bad. But you can hardly expect cases to last that long. Do you remebmer Grace Ellestad who played the leading role in the high school Operetta? Clara: Let me see. That was in our last year of school? Yes, I remember the play and I also remember the great hit she made with the crowd. Have you heard anything about her? Otto: Haven’t you heard about Madame Ellestad? She and Edna Northam are play- ing the leading roles in a light opera called the Flourmills of Africa, which is making such a hit in that country. I have a clipping here taken from the Daily Jungle. It reads: The best operetta which has appeared in Congo Free State is a play entitled. The Flourmills of Africa. Madame Ellestad plays the leading role in this light opera and her singing pleases the audience immensely. Madame Ellestad has a wonderful voice and puts a great amount of feeling into the songs. Especially was the rendering of the song the Spider and The Fly highly appreciated by the audience. Clara: Well we have another classmate in Africa by the name of — (Gong rings) There goes the dinner gong. We’ll have to continue this interesting conversation over our coffee.

As we near the last mile-stone on the home stretch we feel that up to this time our career has been a successful one. Not only has the scholarship been geed, but many students have distinguished themselves in various branches of school life. We have a number of athletes, orators, and artists besides many people well known for their humor. When we entered the Junior class, we did not bring with us many of our lower class habits, such as writing on the walls and taking home too many books every night. On the whole, we think we are a great class of Juniors. What we have done will soon be forgotten because of what we are going to do- watch us next year. Isadore Perstein Class Ahern.

Much Ado About Nothing.” Our class, however, has aspired to something higher and has earned the motto, They can because they think they can. What a fertile theme for the pen our glorious class furnishes! Without the least hesitation we pronounce the class of 1916 the most brilliant constellation that has risen in the Madison High School. But we shall long remember the day when first we breathed the invigorating atmosphere of Madison High. How we were overawed by the varied accomplishments of the upper classmen! The time soon came, however, when the knowledge of our own superior endowments dawned upon us. Before the close of the fall term we looked forward to the opening of our Sophomore year with pleasant anticipation. With quiet dignity we have pursued the even tenor of our way. looking upon Freshmen broils with due disdain.

Promptly on the morning of September the eighth, a large body of enthusiastic students ascended the steps of what appeared to them, a tremendous and awe-inspiring building. They were and are exceedingly ambitious and will certainly prove one of the most highly famed and intelligent classes which ever entered this model institution of learning. In spite of the contemptuous looks of the upper classmen and their popular opinion that little Freshmen should be seen and not heard. the class has progressed and has proved itself invincible. Wherever some of its number have excelled those superior Sophs , whether in an athletic or a literary way. it has proved its ability and well merited the recognition of the dignified upper-classmen. In the near future, it will, without doubt, surpass all other classes and be remembered long after the last of its illustrious members has disappeared, as the greatest and best class of Freshmen who ever entered the doors of M.

Karl Zwicky, Edward LlCCRflCGIfte H©w ffcl M yffiield’s Adveiataff© “Isn't she a peach, though!” exclaimed Howard Mayfield to himself as he laid down his Virgil and gazed out of the window. “A fellow certainly is lucky to run up against a girl like her. Isn’t Harry lucky to have a cousin like Miss Prim! She’s sweet-tempered: she’s bright; she’s sensible; she’s pretty. It’s not one of these which makes her what she is. It’s the exquisite combination of them all.” Howard lolled back in his great, Sleepy Hollow chair, and buried himself in the contemplation of the charms of his newly-made acquaintance, Miss Prim. The latter was a cousin of Howard’s chum. Harry Black; she was now visiting at the Black home, which lay in a suburb of Minneapolis. Howard had met her a week before, and had soon fallen a victim to her winning ways. As he lay back, thinking, a sudden determination seized his mind. “I’ll take her to the play to-morrow night!” He went to the ’phone and called the number of Harry’s—and likewise Miss Prim's— home. “Is this the Black residence?” Yes,” answered a feminine voice. “Is Miss Prim there?” “This is Miss Prim. “This is Howard. “Oh. hello. Howard!” Are you going anywhere to-morrow evening? Why. no; I hadn’t planned to.” Well, there’s going to be a fine show at the Schubert, and 1 wondered if you would like to go. I'll be delighted.” Thank you. What time shall I call? Oh. between seven and half past, I guess. All right, Miss Prim.” Good night. Good night.” Howard put back the receiver and bounded across the room with a whoop. He soon sat down in his chair again, and was quickly lost in a silent reverie. Five o’clock, the next afternoon, found Howard in his room changing his clothes. He was determined to be well dressed that evening, for Miss Prim had a weakness for good dressing. Immaculately apparelled in his new serge suit, tan Oxfords, et cetera, he went down to supper. How splendid our son looks! exclaimed his mother. It takes a girl to make a boy dress up. commented his father. Supper over. Howard raced upstairs, administered a few finishing touches to his toilet, and then left for Miss Prim’s. How fine he felt! How delightful the prospect of being with Miss Prim for a whole evening! Wouldn’t she be pleased with his clothes, though! That white silk tie of his would certainly make a hit; and those classy Oxfords! Miss Prim would certainly have her liking for fine clothes tickled! Here he was at the car-line. He signalled for the car to stop, and boarded it. The conductor cast an envious eye upon him; at least, that’s the way that Howard interpreted the fare-collector’s gaze. Howard seated himself and reflected upon the rather great distance which separated Miss Prim’s abode from the car line. It was pitch dark that night, and there had been a heavy rain. By the light of the street lamps. Howard could make out large brown puddles at the side of the road. He wondered how the passage to Miss Prim's would be. There arc side-walks part of the way. he told himself. Kendall Avenue! called the conductor. Howard rang the bell, and in a moment the car came to a standstill. Alighting, he looked about him bewildered. On all sides was darkness. Not even a flickering street-lamp served to light his way. But he had been at this same street corner several times before; and. although it had always been in the day-time, yet he had gained enough knowledge of the lay of the land to be able safely to reach the other side of the street. This done, his journey began in earnest. The side walk was slippery. Swish! He almost lost control of his feet. He became more wary now. For a while he carefully picked his way along; but his thoughts simply would revert to Miss Prim. How pretty she was! How sweet she could be! How heavenly her smile! Ri-i-ip! Oh. my poor trouser leg! Our hero extricated the aforementioned article of apparel from the intruding barbed-wire fence into which he had blundered. Stiaighten-ing up. he heaved a sigh. Well. I guess it’ll be all right. Harry will lend me a pair of trousers. The side-walk came to an end and he must now make his way along an ill-defined path. He was determined to be careful. Miss Prim’s house was only a few blocks away, and he must reach it without another mishap. But, alas for good resolutions! Some workmen had been busy in this district digging sewers. Numerous ditches lined the streets. Of course the workmen had left out red lanterns, but the rain and wind had put some of them out. Onward Howard groped his way. Nearer and nearer he came to the ditch. It was no ordinary ditch. It was four feet deep. But that was not the worst of it. In the bottom of it —oh! must I describe the bottom? I hat bottom! Why, that bottom was nothing more nor less than a slimy, watery mass of mud. Howard did not sec the warning lantern; it burned no more. He struggled forward. His foot struck some of the loose dirt at the side. The realization of his danger flashed over him. He started back. But, too late. Down, down. down. A soft thud; an almost imperceptible splash. Howard Mayfield lay at full length in that slimy, watery mass of mud. at the bottom of the ditch. Harry Black sat in his rcom studying; a soft rap sounded at his door. Come in.’’ he called. A bedraggled figure made its appearance. Why, what’s this!’’ he cried in astonishment, viewing the mass of mud and water before him. For a moment Howard deigned no reply; then in a smothered, half-choked, voice, Why, it’s what’s left of me. But I have no time to explain: Miss Prim is waiting for me. Can you lend me a suit of clothes and a few other things. Harry took in the situation at a glance. Sure,” he replied, skip in the bath-room and wash up. I’ll be in in a minute with a whole outfit.” Miss Prim beamed. Howard slid into Paradise. You’re just in time, Howard.” ’’Yes, Miss Prim. Harry’s going to take us to the car line in the auto. Good.” Ramon Coffman Ass Eleplhigmft @sa My IHI mls I had always known, in a vague sort of way. that 1 had an uncle in India. I remember having been told that he had. at one time, had a bitter quarrel with my father, his only brother. after which he had disappeared and had not been found or heard of for several years. Finally, however, he had settled down in India, amassed great wealth, and proceeded to be as eccentric and disagreeable as possible. That was the last we heard of him. until, one day, I received a letter saying that he had died, leaving me his fortune. His affairs had not been settled, the lawyer wrote, as the extent of his wealth was not known. I would be informed as soon as possible. As 1 read this letter, visiens of automoblies and pretty dresses and trips abroad flashed across my mind. I had always heard that Uncle Roger was fabulously rich, and it seemed impossible that his wealth Was actually to be mine. During the weeks while I waited for another letter from India, my thoughts soared as though winged. 1 told myself a dozen times a day. It can’t be possible. There must be some mistake;” because I dared not hope too much. Finally the letter came. My dear Miss Babcock: “After the settlement of the estate of your uncle, Roger Babcock, there is left, clear of debt, a small sum of money and a large pet elephant to which Mr. Babcock was much attached. Since your uncle expressly wished you to have personal supervision of the elephant. Blumbo. and under no conditions whatever to sell, give away, or in any other way to dispose of it, I am. without consulting you. using the money to send the elephant to you. His passage straight through is arranged for and he will reach Madison on Monday, July 4. at 12:07 P. M. I was stunned! All my hopes disappointed, my air-castles shattered, my bubble burst, by the one word—elephant. I said it again to myself, slowly, shudderingly—elephant. With the elephant my thoughts naturally turned to circuses, for the two words arc. in my vocabulary. inseparable. I racked my brains, but I could think of no one who kept an elephant for private amusement. There was not even an elephant in the Vilas Park zoo. When I reread the letter, it dawned upon me that IT, I could think of Blumbo, no other w ay, was due in Madison on July 4. Monday, and it was now Saturday. July 2. In two days. I must arrange for some place for it to stay. I did not think an ordinary livery stable would take care of an elephant by the month, but I resolved to find out, at least. Upon questioning three or four livery men, I was so emphatically refused that I could not try again. In desperation, I rented an unused barn near our home. I did not know of anything which elephants eat except peanuts, so 1 bought a bushel of them from Mr. Day and put them in the barn. When I had had a very strong padlock put on the door (I did not want Blumbo making nightly pilgramages around the neighborhood), the barn was ready for occupancy. The next question was how to get Blumbo from the station to the house. I had. in my imagination, a life-size picture of myself walking up the middle of the street at noon on the Fourth of July, leading by a rope, the great, lumbering, ungainly hulk of an elephant, all the delighted little boys in town imagining it was circus day, and throwing torpedoes and giant fire-crackers under Blumbos feet—and mine! It would surely be a gay time for the small boys and for the many spectators there were sure to be; but 1 had Blumbo and myself to consider, so I abandoned this course. After much arguing and bargaining I found a drayman who promised to haul the elephant. All that Sunday. 1 thought of nothing but Blumbo. but I left the question of what to do with him in the years to come for time to solve. I decided, however, that if his appetite was good, I should have to find something cheaper than peanuts with which to feed him. By Monday morning, when I went to the station to get Blumbo, I was beginning to feel slightly reconciled to the idea. It would, at least, be fun to ride him around the square and so I decided to dispense with the drayman. As 1 hurried toward the baggage cars, a man, who had just got off the train, stopped me and asked if I was Mary Babcock. He was Mr. Roger Babcock’s lawyer, and he had several interesting things to tell me. In the first place, he said were you actually planning to take this elephant home with you. and to care for it? Why, of course; it did not occur to me not to since my uncle expressly wished it. I answered meekly. You were brave even to think of it, and to try to obey your uncle's desires. So first let me relieve you by telling you that there is no elephant. Since 1 was speechless with conflicting emotions. Mr. Parker went on. I do not wonder that you are amazed, for I fully realize how extraordinary this affair must seem to you. So. now, if you will walk with me so that we can talk uninterruptedly, I will explain. Your uncle, as you undoubtedly know, was very eccentric. When he learned that he was soon to die. he determined upon you as his heir. He was not contented, however, with giving you the money with no conditions whatever attached, so he chose this way to try you. He directed me to write and tell you, as I did. about his pet elephant and to see if you would try to obey his wishes. He had an idea that you, disappointed in not getting money, would immediately dispose of it. If you planned to take care of the elephant, you were to get the money; if not, your uncle decided as an alternative, it was to go to missions in India. I have been planning to return to America for some time, so I chose this time that 1 might judge in person whether you are worthy of receiving the fortune. Since you have expected to take Blumbo home and care for him, you may rest assured the money will not go to foreign missions. This is you home? No, thank you, I must go to the hotel immediately. I will phone when I need your signature on any papers. Good-bye! Lifting his hat courteously, he walked down the street. I stood staring after him. dreaming and imagining things harder than 1 had ever dreamed and imagined them before. But in all my dreams, there was no elephant. Ruth Stromme, 15. On Guaaffd It was five thirty. Marjorie was hurrying out of school where she had been detained for the last rehearsal of the play. Some of the students were to present The Merchant of Venice in the auditorium that evening. It was growing very dark, but she had promised to wait for Ethel. As she waited, she heard voices. She listened. Two boys were speaking. She overheard, Of course it would be possible to steal the costumes. That’s the very thing.” Marjorie could hardly wait to whisper to Ethel all that she had heard. Finally, Ethel did arrive. Marjorie hastily told her all. They became very excited. The more they talked about it, the more they thought that something should be done. Oh. here comes Jane! We’ll tell her , said Ethel, because she has such goed judgment. She’ll know just what wc should do.” O. how dreadful! exclaimed Jane. The horrid old things, even to think of doing such a thing! Think how Miss Cooper and everyone will feel if anything like that should happen! There they stood, each trying to see if she could say the most in the least time. Here’s Helen. The story was onec more repeated; this time with a few flourishing touches. Helen was a remarkably sensible girl. Why, girls, she said, I think it’s about time you did something more than stand here and talk. Let’s phone Miss Cooper. Where’s the nearest place? Why, Alford’s Laundry, I guess,” said Marjorie. How provoked she became when the operator told her many times that the line was busy. At last she received a reply. But oh. what should they do?—Miss Cooper was not at home! Some one thought of Mr. Deihl so they tried to reach him. No, he was not there but was expected very soon. As time went on. the girls thought the proposed theft of costumes quite the worst thing of which they had ever heard. They met many other friends all of whom listened with great interest to the story and then joined the group. Oh. Mr. Deihl surely must be home by now. said Helen ‘Til try again. Yes. he was there and told them to go directly to the school and watch the costumes until he got there. He would leave home immediately. Marjorie proved to be the fastest runner, therefore she reached the school first. The other girls were startled when they heard the shriek. ‘‘The door is locked and no janitor in sight!” “Oh, maybe the Johnson Street door is unlocked,” suggested Helen. But it’s pitch dark in there, said Marjorie, now in almost a tearful state. They tried the Wisconsin Avenue and Johnson Street doors but found them locked. They were disappointed and almost angry but decided the only thing to do would be to let Mr. Deihl know the condition of affairs at once. They ran to the laundry and telephoned him. He had just left home to go to the school. What shall we do? cried Marjorie despairingly. “Is there anything 1 can do to help you. girls? asked Mr. Alford. The story was again repeated, this time to a good advantage, for. to their surprise. Mr. Alford said. I guess in a case like this I can help you out nicely, for I have a key to the building, How happy they were to be in the building beside the precious costumes and how carefully they kept watch so that there should be no intruders. Mr. Deihl arrived, saw that the costumes were safe, and left the girls to guard them. At last the time for the play arrived but no intruders had appeared. The fact that the costumes might have been stolen seemed an inspiration to the actors for they took their parts so well that they fairly amazed the audience. When the play was over and Miss Cooper and those who had taken part were being congratulated, Marjorie could have fainted when she heard one of the boys say, and the voice seemed familiar, The play was great. Miss Cooper, and it gave Bob and me a fine suggestion for our long themes. We arc to write about one of your plays, telling how the costumes had been stolen just before the destined time. Loretta Tormcy T!h@ Just listen to that plumber up there. sighed Mumsie Keenan tragically. The family, from Daddy Keenan, the head of the household, to three year-old Baby Joyce, its smallest member, looked up from luncheon and listened. They heard overhead occasional rap— rap--------s , but the pauses between the pounds were so long that at each the family held its breath for fear that the pounding would stop altogether. Job Hendricks was working his very slowest. Job was not an ordinary plumber. A drummer in the war, he had learned the plumbing trade only after the scanty pension afforded him by the government was almost used up. Job did not succeeed as a plumber, for the townspeople knew how slow he was. and disliked to engage him to do their work. Had it not been for the wages paid for his services as the drummer in the town band. Job would have fared badly. Although he always worked leisurely, it seemed to the anxious Keenans that never before had Job been so slow. Isn’t it frightful!!’’ agreed Pretty Polly, who was fourteen. Mumsie dear, whatever can we do to make him finish before the Van Vleckscome? At this rate, he won’t be thiough for a week. I don't know, I’m sure.” replied Mumsie hopelessly. It was late that morning that a pipe upstairs had sprung a leak, and when she telephoned to the plumbing-shop, she found that all their plumbers had just been called out to Middleton for at least a two-day’s job in a factory there. Only Job Hendricks was left. Imagine how mortifying it would be to have the fastidious Van Vlecks, who were to come that very evening to spend the week-end with the Keenans, find the water out of order! Timothy Timberly Keenan, aged nineteen and home for his vacation from the University of Wisconsin, listened thoughtfully to the slow pounding above. “I'll wager”, announced he decidedly, “that if Job wanted to. he could work as fast as any ordinary plumber.” See if you can’t persuade him to put on fourth gear, then,” suggested Daddy slyly, his eyes twinkling behind his glasses Timothy Timberly was an automobile enthusiast. I declare,” he added, I’ll give a bright, new five-dollar gold-piece to anyone who gets the work finished before evening. Yes, I mean it! I am going upstairs now to try to make Job hurry, and if I don’t succeed—remember the five dollars.” Five dollars is worth trying for.” commented Timothy, trying to decide whether to take Dolly Ferguson or Julia Price to sec John Drew next Friday -that is, if he won. Isn’t it, agreed Polly brightly. I am just perishing for one of those ducky silver bracelets that the Unique Shop just got in. What would you do with your money. Mumsie dear?” “Perhaps some new frocks for Baby Joyce.” smiled Mumsie. “Pooh! She doesn’t need any new clothes,” scorned Teddy, looking down at the little doll of a child beside him. Why don’t you get something jolly? I'm going to buy a real drum or maybe a cowboy suit. You see. Teddy was quite a boy -ten years next June. You mean, you will if you win the five dollars,” corrected Polly. I'm going right upstairs now, to see if I can’t wheedle Job into hurrying. Daddy hasn’t succeeded!” 1 choose second chance. cried little Ted eagerly. Let’s all meet on the veranda afterwards, and talk over what success we’ve had, suggested Timothy; and then Polly ran upstairs to try her luck. At three o’clock, the conspirators met on the shady south veranda. Polly plumped herself down in the cushion-filled hammock. Well, we’ve failed.” she announced. I’m afraid so. agreed Mumsie. Job seems to be working slower than ever. I did my best, said Polly. I went up to Job. and said that if he could possibly finish before five. I would take him to the Grand Theatre this afternoon. But my beautiful plan didn’t work. ‘Very sorry, Miss Polly,' he said, 'but 1 can’t possibly finish in time. I thank ye just the same, tho—’ ’Why. what’s the joke?’ for Timothy and Ted had burst out laughing. It’s too funny, cried Ted. “I said the very same thing to Job myself, everybody knows how he loves the ‘movies.’ “Everybody certainly docs, laughed Timothy ruefully. I wondered why he looked at me so suspiciously when 1 also,---” You didn’t! cried Polly in amazement and laughter. Oh. this is too funny! You ridiculous children. laughed Mumsie, to all—oh, oh. how absurd this is! and she laughed and laughed until tears came to her eyes and she had to wipe them away with one of Daddy’s purple socks that she was mending. “It’s almost worth the embarrassment of having the Van Vlecks come before the water is fixed. We surely are pretty poor conspirators, decided Timothy Timbcrly. The next time we had better arrange to work with system and together. A moment later, Baby Joyce came down, all fresh and rosy from her nap, with dainty blue bows on her little frock and curls. My music-horsey, was the first thing she asked for, and when Nurse Florence brought it to her, the child put her fat little legs over the stick and raced up and down the hall, while the little toy music-box at the end of the stick merrily played Yankee Doodle. How can she be so crazy about that everlasting toy? groaned the much tired Timothy, as they heard the familiar strains. It’s worse than a German band.” A few minutes later. Polly sat up straight in evident excitement. Just listen. she cried incredulously. “Just listen to Job Hendricks! The Family listened. They heard overhead little rap, rap, rap’s, and tap. tap. tap’s. gaily keeping time to the quick march strains of Yankee Doodle. What a miracle, rejoiced Mumsie. Timothy dear, won’t you please go in and help Baby Joyce run the music-box. She must be getting tired. The children took turns running up and down the long hall with the music-box, and at half-past five Job came downstairs, his tool-box in his hand. He had finished the work! We all forgot, said Mumsie, in telling all about it to Daddy at dinner, that Job has been a drummer all his life. That is, all but Baby Joyce. Oh. Daddy, you haven’t forgotten your promise have you?” Not for a moment. chuckled Daddy, winking at the Baby, who was at dinner with the family in honor of the great occasion. And he tossed into the little, dimpled hands of the baby a bright, new five-dollar gold piece. Sally Spcnslcy W@ Winn “Hello Alice Right on time. 1 see. These your grips here? Put her there! Say. you’re looking fine after vacation! Let’s walk down! It’s only a few blocks! Give us a chance to get acquainted again, anyhow! Was August hot? It was fine up north! Cool enough to want a sweater! Well pipe away and I'll shut up. This torrent burst from the lips of a well set up young man. Will Carr was entering the senior year of the Forest Hill College situated in a lovely corner of Vermont. At the age of nineteen, he presented a well-knit figure about five feet, ten inches in height. The little finger of his left hand was slightly out of line with the other fingers because of a football sprain. His nose had been hit by a bee-liner on the diamond and had a pronounced bridge like the beak of an eagle. The wavy brown hair surmounted a skin dyed a dark tan by three months exposure to the sun with a geological party in the northern Michigan. The girl chatting vivaciously about her summer experiences, was a fit companion for him. Scarcely shorter, she stepped lightly in the full glow of early womanhood. Alice Raync, also, was entering the senior year of this co-educational college. While possessing all of Will’s physical excellence, she surpassed him by several points in her application to work. Her equipment of mind and body was no better than his, but, like many girls, she worked for the honor and because she felt she owed it to herself and teachers to do her best. All Will needed was the proper spur to raise his grade from eighty-two to ninety-two per cent. “Well, I declare. I forgot all about telling the baggageman where to send your trunks. I’ll drop your bags inside the door and have your trunks sent up this evening. May I come over Sunday? Yes, if you’ll go to church Sunday evening. “Whew! Starting right in, aren’t you? The Medes and Persians didn’t have anything on you for severity. A good start is half the fight, you know. Good-bye . Will lifted his hat, sprang down the steps, and strode up the street whistling Upidee . Will enjoyed his Sunday afternoon and knew his friend too well to demur about the evening service. The minister took his text from Proverbs xx : 4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in the harvest and have nothing. You enjoyed the service didn't you Will? O yes! A regular pippin! But wasn’t it hot in there? I’m nearly wilted. Didn’t you think his points were well taken? I felt that that sermon was prepared for you. Well, what’s the diff? There's a lot of ‘diff’ as you call it. Here you’re spoiling time and not using the brains you’ve got and I’m really tired of it. You ought to do better. Granted. Wasn’t Bella fixed up fit to kill, though? No. I’m not going to stop ‘till I lay down my ultimatum which is as follows: If you care enough about me to raise your standings above mine. I’ll go on seeing you and going to dances and all that, but I don't feel right about letting you waste your time with me when you might just as well be ninety-two per cent, in your standings instead of eighty-two. This may seem Puritanical, but it’s final. Good night! She ran up the steps leaving a very bewildered young man behind her. Will decided to take a walk into the country. Try to beat Alice? Why, she got “A just as much a matter of course as he got C . Perhaps she was fooling? But no. He knew enough about Alice to prostrate that theory. 0 well! Might as well go into business, give up his senior year and further athletic honors and Alice. Why attempt the impossible? Suddenly the road silvered; the full moon had risen behind him. His thoughts changed from dark forbodings to a happier, more otpimistic strain. Perhaps he could do it! Nobody knows what he can do until he tries. Inspired by these thoughts, he broke into a trot and was soon at home and fast asleep. His good resolutions, kindly but firmly bolstered by Alice, held him with fair steadfastness to the work. As the end of the quarter drew near when he should compare his standing with that of Alice, he became mildly excited. He felt that he had been doing better work. His standing, well above the customary eighty-two and four tenths, proved this. That evening he called on Alice. Good evening. I’ve come to claim your hand for the Lewis Hall dance Friday evening . Oh have you; And by what right pray, tell? He smiled in a superior way and remarked, “My standings have now elevated themselves to your plane, or thereabouts. And what might that plane be?” Eighty-eight and six tenths!” “Too bad. but mine average eighty nine flat and that 1 claim to be four tenths more than yours; therefore, the old rule holds. However, we’ll wave it for tonight because of exceptionally good conduct; after that you may remain as before. “But about this scholarship business. That’s all rot. Fancy working as hard as I have for nine long weeks and then getting stung. 1 tell you this ought to be penance enough.’ ’’You know what 1 said. Now let’s talk of something pleasant. Wasn’t that Dramatic Society play good?’’ Promptly at ten o’clock Alice showed Will to the door. He resolved that he d have the margin next time. His previous nine weeks had taught him concentration and application and he bade fair to win. Alice thought he ought not to win in a walkaway and so went steadily and effectively to work. The semester drew to a close with both holding high places in their classes. With his usual happy sang froid unimpaired by his strenuous mental gymnastics. he brought his average to Alice in triumph. Caesar has now gained the breatsworks. Do you surrender? Upon what docs Caesar base his request? Eighty nine and nine tenths!” Ninety and two tenths and the citadel holds!” Caesar will now withdraw and marshal his cohorts for another attempt. Just as long as you’re pleasing yourself, don’t mind Caesar. He’ll probably survive. The plaintive tone in which this last fling was uttered didn’t serve to stem the tide of wrath that welled up in Alice’s heart. She studied with an increased and vigorous vehemence that swelled her standings. As the quarter semester drew to a close. Will seemed to have a large joke concealed somewhere about his person. He positively knew that he was doing fine work and work well done always brings with it an intense satisfaction. He met Alice outside the main building, drew himself up to his full height, and began. Vcni. vidi. vici. this is the third time and I—” Don’t spout Latin, state facts!” Ninety one and one tenth. Ninety one and two tenths! noble youth! Excelsior! He wandered off too dazed to speak. From the heights of expectation of victory he had been cast to the depths of despair. One tenth of one per cent,” he muttered to himself. But nine weeks in which to do it! He was bitterly disappointed but turned to with a will. Thrice had he been on the verge of victory, thrice disappointed. This time he resolved to place no faith in any god but hard work. He was of English descent and the quality which earned for them the title. 1 he pluckiest blood in Europe, now earned for him his reward. As Commencement Day drew near, the rivals swept along with equal strength, revered as the choicest product of the democratic majority of the class. Thirty-six hours before Commencement, they received their final marks. He rushed to the appointed place, a huge statue, and waited impatiently. She lingered and loitered, smitten by the fear that she might have a higher standing than he. Hers was ninety three and three tenths. His was ninety three and four tenths. He had won. At three o clock on Commencement Day they were married by the minister whose text had been the exciting force in the foregoing story. (With Apologies to John Bunyan.) By Orville E. Radke, 14. One night last winter I sat up very late in order to finish reading “Pilgrim’s Progress. Evidently the account of Christian's adventures left a great impression upon my mind. As soon as I went to bed that night I dreamt a dream which was similar to the story which I had just read. In my dream methought I saw Student wending his way along a road called Highschool. Many youths and maidens were journeying along this road, on their way to the City of Graduation. Any one who wanted to reach this city must travel at least three years. I he honors and rewards that these people were seeking were the “Benefits of a Highschool Education. For the first year that Student travelled, the only person with whom he willingly became acquainted was Studyhard. In spite of the fact that he might have formed friendships with such people as Revelry and Idleness, he refused to converse with anybody but Studyhard. The first obstruction that that Student encountered was the turbulent River Examination. His friendship with Studyhard. however, afforded him a great advantage over those who did not know that man. For those who had travelled with him had received a certificate called Knowledge with which they might obtain passage across this swift stream in the boat of the Ferryman Preparation. The unfortunate ones who had not received a certificate were forced to swim across the raging current if they wished to reach the other side. Any one who made the attempt and failed, was usually carried downstream for a short distance, where he was pulled out by Flunker. Flunker always delayed his victims in some way or other ere he let them resume their journey. Student, after he had crossed the river, started off on his pilgrimage again, accompanied by Studyhard. When they had travelled for another semester, they came to a place where the River Examination again crossed the road Highschool. This time they obtained passage over the river in the boat of Ferryman Exemption in the same manner as they had done before. When they had reached the farther side. Student saw somebody walking ahead of him in the distance. He called to him and bade him wait. What is thy name and whither art thou going?” quoth Student to the stranger. The stranger answered him. saying, My name is Pleasure. I am on my way to the City of Graduation. I am he who mitigates the burdens and worries of travellers who are wearied by their long journey.?” Pleased that he had found another friend, Student whiled the time away with an interesting account of his late adventures until the party arrived at a high and steep hill. It was Trial Hill. The three, having reached the top with little difficulty, and having walked for some time, beheld a man coming from the direction in which they were travelling. He called to the three journeymen, Arc ye on your way to the City of Graduation? Yea, we arc seeking the ‘Benefits of a Highschool education . If ye wish to avoid a deal of trouble, take my advice. Go ye no farther because ye 11 never find such a city as ye are seeking, and therefore the hardships that ye must endure are suffered for nought. Thou mayest do as thou plcascst; but I will behold with mine own eyes, said Student. and at these words the stranger departed. Studyhard recognized him as being a certain Quitter from the Village Ignorance. In my dream methought 1 saw Student meet Idleness and speak to him with such intimacy as would make one think that they were long acquainted. When Studyhard and Pleasure saw this act of falsehood, (for Idleness was one of their bitterest enemies), they departed, leaving Student alone with his new friend. Student did not realize what misfortunes would befall him as a result of his recent breach of friendship. Finally, Student and Idleness arrived at a fork in the road. The road to the right led to a high plain. The left one, however, led down to a low marsh. Student at first persisted in travelling the higher road, but after Idleness had disputed with him for some time and had said that the two roads met farther on. he consented to follow the left road. As they were walking through the marshes. Student began to fear impending danger. He felt that something was wrong but he knew not what would happen. The air was not clear, as it had been while he had been travelling with his former companions, but was so foggy that he could scarce sec five paces ahead of him. He was about to turn back but Idleness persuaded him to stay, saying that it would not be long before they would again reach solid ground. He had walked a few steps, when— down he fell into the pit of Shame. Idleness, when he saw that he had a victim, turned back to go to the fork in the road, where he might deceive other travellers. Student called aloud, but no one answered; then did he shed tears and lament bitterly. He cursed himself for leaving his comrades. Again he cried aloud when, finally, the man who had made the pitfall heard his cries. He carried a long lash under his arm. Having delivered Student from the pit, he chastised him severely for falling into the company of Idleness, the servant of the Devil. When Student had repented for what he had done. Shame led him back to the right road. He then followed the road which passed over the high plain, and. running as fast as his strength permitted, he overtook his former friends, Studyhard and Pleasure. He begged forgiveness for his false act, saying. “Have mercy on me, friends, have mercy on me. Had you but warned me of my danger!” After a reconciliation, the three companions travelled as before. Ere long the three arrived at the gates of the City of Graduation. After they had been thoroughly questioned about their adventures, the gates were opened and they were taken in. Before the High Lord Principal were they led, who presented to each of them a scaled parchment which was to testify that they had received the Benefits of a Highschool Education.” The Lord Principal faded away. The walls of the city crumbled. Student stood alone at the entrance of a door called Opportunity. He advanced toward it. I wailed with eager eyes to see what lay beyond when suddenly—, Darn that alarm-clock; why couldn’t it have waited a few seconds longer? But then, what’s in a dream?” A Steams? ©if Feaarls Were I to form a string of pearls The richest ones of all— The pearls which are the human kind From out our high school hall. I'd hardly know how to begin To choose the gems most rare. For there are many precious jewels That in this string should share. The first of all a charming she. Whose dark eyes win me quite: But blue eyes too have charms for me And gray eyes full of light. The rosy cheeks and golden hair And dark hair all must be Included in this necklace rare— And maiden dignity. “But what about the boys? you say. I’m surprised that you should ask: We’ll take them all together And use them for the clasp. THE NAUTILUS CLUB The fame of Nautilus is widespread, as a splendid literary society, a pleasant social group and a crowd of girls who stand for all that is best in school—scholarship, friendship, and democracy. We have steadily progressed during our sixteen years of existence, and are still doing so. Our programs are pleasing, instructive and never so long as to be tedious. This year, besides sketches and playlettes, we have studied some great American poets, artists, and statesmen. When the 1914 Nautilus girls graduate, they will not forget the club which has meant so much to them, or the teachers. Miss Hargrave and Miss Kleinpell. who have worked so earnestly for its prosperity.

The object of the society is three-fold; to stimulate scholarship, to elevate character, and to cultivate friendship. It might not sound well for us to say anything about our success in the objects of our society; but we all know we are very proud to be Philo, members. This year we have not followed any particular line in literary work, but have enjoyed immensely the miscellaneous programs. The Halloween, the Christmas, and the Ncw-Girls’ ” programs were unusually clever and original. Shortly before Christmas we gave a basket party followed by a dancing party. This was an exclusively Philo, affair for the purpose of getting the girls better acquainted. Looking back over our unusually interesting programs and our merry social events, we feel that wfe have accomplished all we could wish for this year.

On October 30. 1913 a new society was organized under the name of Alphian.” The object of the society is threefold; to stimulate scholarship, to elevate character, and to cultivate friendship. Thus far it has been successful in all its aims. There have been programs on Riley. Field, and Kipling. Readings and recitations have also been given. We feel that the work has been helpful and beneficial. The history of the club is short, but it is full of success. The work has been well started and the membership has increased rapidly. It now numbers thirty-three. Rosa Felshcr. OFFICERS President—Leone Hartlcin Vice-President—Francis Dawson Secretary—Nellie Holm Treasurer- Jennie Dixon Barry. Helen Bishoff, Lenora Cosgrove.

The aim of the society is to promote good fellowship and democracy among its members. We believe that we have succeeded in our aim; a feeling of equality and good-will pervades the club. Our social activities have been limited to one party, given at Christmas, following a holiday program. The literary programs have been varied and wholly enjoyable. One meeting was spent in the study of the Niebelungen series of operas by Richard Wagner, and another in the life and works of the American poet, Paul Lawrence Dunbar. One afternoon was given up to parliamentary practice, in which every one took part. The critic has always given a full report upon the program. We all feel that our success has been due. not to certain individuals, but to the society as a whole, working earnestly and harmoniously. The members of the Onowa wish to thank the sponsors. Miss Cooper and Miss Groves, for their kindly assistance and guidance. Marian Moore.

Beginning the year with a small nucleus of veteran members, the Forum soon attracted large numbers of boys interested in debating and other literary work. The 1914 Commencement will take from the Forum many of its oldest and most brilliant members, but the addition during the past year of promising young debaters assures continued vigor and ‘‘peP in the society. The quality of Forum debaters was strikingly brought out in the debating tryouts, when Forum members won five out of the six places on the M. H. S. interscholastic debating team. The great success to which the Forum has attained in 1913-1914 is due to a variety of causes; but it is certain that much credit is due to the enthusiastic work of Mr. Ramsdcll, our critic, to whom we express our appreciation.

H. S. LITERARY SOCIETY The Lit is still holding its meetings every two weeks on Thursday afternoon. But due to the keen interest in debates and topics, and the heated arguments over the business affairs of the society, the meetings often extend from afternoon almost into the evening; that is, far enough for the censor to turn on the lights. But this does not affect us; for we shine in our debating just as well without the spotlight turned on us. In debating, interest never wanes even when such questions as Woman Suffrage and Government Ownership of almost everything are before the society. The current topics discussed reach such a degree of excellence in subject, delivery, and English, that our members arc becoming noted. We have excellent parliamentary practice. We know Robert’s Rules of Order so well that we can tell which is a privileged motion and thereby know who should have the floor. When wc become members of Congress, we shall know how to make a motion, when to rise to a point of order, and when to keep silent. As much of our progress is due to the help and coaching we receive from Mr. Slocum, we wish to thank him for his able guidance. Clarence Burrowbridge.

That was the French Club. La Societe Francais, whose attractive programs you see posted on the bulletin boards now and then, programs that the non-French students examine so wistfully and wish they understood! The French Club was organized in 1911. for the purpose of accustoming the members of the French classes to French conversation. Since that time, the society has grown and flourished, and is now recognized as one of the leading institutions. 1 he meetings are conducted entirely in French; that is. almost entirely. Sometimes we do hear a word or tw'o in English, in spite of Miss Johnson’s En Francais. s’il vous plait! Our programs this year have been interesting and entertaining, and when we hold our meeting in the auditorium, we forgive the discourtesy of those who crowd about the doors to watch. Two programs have consisted of dramatic scenes, one given by the science section, the other by the classical division. French recitations, readings, games, and songs make up the usual program. Of the songs, the general favorite seems to be Frere Jacques,’ a round in three parts. Anybody who would like to hear Three Blind Mice’ rivaled, had better hear the French Club sing this song. The membership has increased greatly since fall. Everybody always has such a good time at French Club, that he never has to be urged to attend. I hat is a sign of success.

Among the various departmental clubs organized last year, Der Vercin Gemuetlichkeit, the society of happiness and good feeling, is one of the most prominent. Its purpose was then, as now, to promote German conversation among its members. Last year it had a large membership, but it was decreased to some extent by the graduation of the class of 1913. At present, the membership of the club exceeds that of last year, there being between fifty and sixty members. Many interesting programs have been given this year, consisting of musicals, readings, recitations, and games. Through the conscientious work and energy of Miss Young, Miss Volkmann, and Mr. Deihl, the club has proved a great success and ranks as one of the most progressive and instructive organizations in our school. We surely have gained great benefits from being members of Der Vcrein Gemuetlichkeit.” Glueck auf zu dem Vercin Gemuetlichkeit in kommenden Jahren!

Its purpose is to acquaint its members with English Classics and to promote fellowship. The meetings, held every two w-eeks, have been full of life and interest. This year we have taken up three plays; Midsummer Night’s Dream , Twelfth Night , and She Stoops to Conquer . Scenes of the plays being studied at the time were presented by the members at each meeting. This not only rendered the play more entertaining and intelligible, but it gave the budding geniuses” of the club an opportunity to display and improve their talent—and in several cases it may justly be called talent. A special Christmas program was given after which came refreshments and games. From a membership of six at the opening of the year, the club has increased to twenty-five. No effort has been made to increase this number; for. with a comparatively small membership, each member has more opportunities to appear on the program. The year has been a profitable one, and all of our members arc ready to say, Long live the English Club!

I suppose, you would like to know what we do at our meetings. Well, first we have a business meeting, just as any other sane club: in which, let it be plainly understood that we do not talk Latin. Now. you wonder why we call it a Latin Club. Did I say that we never talk Latin? No, 1 believe not. Of course we talk it some in our programs. There is not much debating at our meetings. The nice thing about our programs is that so many take part in the same number. Now. you all know that one person couldn’t very well represent a whole Roman wedding, or any other kind of a wedding for that matter. It takes perhaps ten or twelve, all talking Latin as fast as they can. to carry on the performance. The Roman costumes add very much to the acting. We can hardly recognize our friends, when they are presented to us in the Roman garb. This is but one of the many programs in which many take part, but it will suffice to give you an idea of how we do things.

The present membership is twenty-five. Thus far. the club has had programs as follows: economic value of insects: the silk industry; an illustrated lecture by Mr. Ticmann of the University on the subject of Forestry, followed by a visit to the Forestry Building; the sanitary production of milk, followed by a visit to the Dairy Building. The club expects to hold its spring programs out-of-doors, studying trees, flowers, birds, and nature in general.

The object of the organization of this club is to give students interested in math-ematics a chance to become better acquainted with the subject. The club is still in the embryonic stage, but is progressing rapidly. Although it started out with only a few members, the list has gradually increased until at the present time it numbers twenty-five. Some of the topics that have been discussed by the different members arc: Squaring the Circle. The Fourth Dimension. Arithmetic in Business, and Mathematical Recreations. Why mathematics ought to be studied, and The history of mathematics were discussed by Professor Dowling of the University. As there arc very few Seniors in the club, graduation will not take many members away; when school opens for next year, the Mathematics Club will be ready to begin good work at once. Great credit must be given to the club sponsor, Mr. West, for his interest and enthusiasm in making this club a success. OFFICERS Emma Johnson. Hjalmcr Olson.

Only two or three meetings were held before the close of school. The club resumed its work this year and at present boasts of ten members. The purpose of this club is to discuss matters pertaining to domestic science, that do not come in the regular course of school work, and to stimulate a greater interest in the work of the home. The programs this year have been very interesting. Some subjects discussed are the following: Colonial Kitchens, A Modern Kitchen, Life and Work of Ellen H. Richards, and Beverages. There were also a special Christmas program, the trip to the Colonial Kitchen, and the course luncheon illustrating popular advertisements. The last was served “En Costume. Although the club is small, we hope it will grow in numbers and in its scope, and be a real factor in the life of the Madison High School. Ellen Tenney.

ORCHESTRA At the beginning of this year the orchestra, which had last year become such an important factor in the life of the school, found itself minus its experienced leader. A large number of its members had graduated with the class of 1913. In spite of these handicaps, to which was added a very late start, a willing group of beginners, many of whom had never seen a piece of orchestra music, worked with might and main and have succeeded in making themselves the pride of the school. This year only five members will be lost by graduation, but these losses are serious and will be hard to make good. With the certain prospect of much good material in next year’s Freshman class, however, a degree of excellence ought to be attained which as yet has only been hoped for.

COHS-: HISTORY AND CIVICS CLUB I — r r 1 HISCOfVY ( A r CIUICS On September 23 the sixteen survivors, out of an army of fifty, met to discuss the prospects of the History and Civics Club. Graduation had played havoc with the membership list; twenty-two Seniors were missing. As none of the old officers were back, temporary officers had to be elected. Then the call for new members was issued; and on October 23 the membership was boosted from sixteen to fifty. With such a number present the club was again on a strong footing The programs have dealt with subjects of local and national interest. An impersonation of widely known people in the early part of the eighteenth century, several short plays pertaining to the early history of our country, the House of Representatives in session, and a very clear and realistic representation of our City Council are some-of the themes that have been presented. But. thinking that our existence should not consist entirely of work, we held a Christmas party. This furnished a good time and helped the members to become acquainted. Much credit must be given the faculty members of the history department for their interest in the programs.

S. were left to their own resources during the first quarter of the year. Mr. Barnes, however, noticing the large number of pupils who had nothing to do on Thursday afternoons, concluded that these same pupils were not interested in any of the clubs, and conceived the idea that a science club might meet their approval. Accordingly, he organized a club of this kind and divided it into three sections, one composed of physicists, the other of chemists, and the third of biologists; over these Mr. Barnes. Miss Evans, and Miss Weber, respectively preside. The three divisions convene on every second Thursday in Room 301. where the general meetings are held. On the alternate Thursdays each section has a meeting in its own room, where matters of special interest are discussed. Two lectures have already been given at the general meetings, in the first of which Professor Eaton of the University of Wisconsin told us many wonderful facts about the celestial bodies. Tropical Nature was the subject of our second lecture, in which Professor Pearse told us some wonderful stories of crabs and other dwellers of the sea. Henry Metz.

The names of those who wished to organize such clubs were shaken in a hat, and then drawn out by lot. Eighteen names fell to the lot of the club which later chose the name Palmer with the life of Alice Freeman Palmer as an ideal. The girls, making up a very representative group, met with Miss Tormey and Miss Zeis, as sponsors, and proceeded in the regular way to organize. Among the programs we have had thus far wc have taken up James Russell Lowell, Lincoln, Washington, and Grand Opera. We also had a special program and a tree at Christmas. All the programs have been interesting and instructive. Although the club is small in numbers, yet the enthusiasm shown by the girls is unbounded. By the end of the year, under the careful guidance of the sponsors, the club bids fair to vie creditably with the older clubs. Genevieve Rindy. Ahern. Margaret Felsher, Minnie Holz. Minnie Kepke.

The Windmills of Holland , an operetta, was presented in January under the direction of Miss Cooper and Mr. Deihl. Forty students and the Orchestra took part in the production, which is the first of its kind ever attempted. In addition to the German play usually given in April, a French play was presented this year. In the latter part of May, Shakespeare's Twelfth Night was given.

DEBATING TEAM That Madison can debate as well as play football and basketball was amply demonstrated this year, when we won the undisputed championship of the Beloit Debating League, carrying with it the virtual championship of Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. The Madison Inter-scholastic team was composed of Howard Baton, Otto Myrland, Ellis Potter. Armand Quick. LeRoy Burlingame, and Ramon Coffman; substitutes. John Warner and Benardo Elsom. The question debated throughout the year was; Resolved, that the literacy test is the desirable method of further restricting immigration into the United States. The Madison debaters were divided into two teams; Myrland. Potter, and Eaton taking the affirmative, and Burlingame. Quick, and Coffman upholding the negative. The first debate was staged with Janesville at Madison on February 14. After a spirited debate, the Madison affirmative team won by a two to one decision. Two weeks later, the Madison negative, accompanied by fourteen enthusiastic “rooters , journeyed to Beloit. Beloit put up a stiff debate, but the decision of the judges was two to one in favor of Madison. Perhaps the most hotly contested debate of the year came two weeks later, when La Grange. Chicago, came to Madison and debated the Madison negative. The star of the La Grange team was a young lady, and for awhile she made things look rather precarious for the Madisonians. But the judges gave us “the palm” by a two to one decision. The fourth and last debate, the one which was to decide whether or not we should be champions, took place on March 27. against Freeport at Freeport. Here the Madison affirmative won by a unanimous decision. On April 30 we were awarded a silver loving cup in recognition of our championship. Great credit for our success is due to the efficient, enthusiastic work of Mr. Ramsdcll, our coach.

In the first semester of the year, the regular reading contest was held; but the second half of the year, a new plan was tried. Two contests, a declamatory contest for the girls and an oratorical contest for the boys, were held. Only those who so desired, entered the preliminaries under this system. Both contests showed that the Madison High School may well be proud of its readers.

There has been a large attendance at these programs and we hope for their continuance. r CO H 5-19 I his year, wc have followed the precedent set last year, and have been successful in having truly informal parties. The first dance of the year was the Senior Informal. The Juniors also gave an Informal during the year. Both were attended by large numbers of enthusiastic, loyal pupils and all reported an excellent time. FOOTBALL RECEPTION Saturday evening. December 16. a reception and an informal dance were given in honor of our gridiron heroes. Many of the loyal students of the M. H. S. gathered in the auditorium to sec the members of the squad receive their “M’s”. After this ceremony, the boys lined up in the hall to receive congratulations from their admirers. F or those who did not care to dance, games were arranged in some of the lower rooms; for the dancers, music was furnished in the gymnasium. CLUB BANQUET On Monday evening. February 23. three-hundred club members and many of the Fac-ulty gathered in the gymnasium for the Second Annual Club Banquet. Our purpose was. as the toastmaster said, to celebrate Washington s birthday, to become better acquainted, and to get our fifty cents worth. On the walls of the gymnasium were American flags, and the color scheme of the four long tables was red and white. In fact, the room presented such a festive appearance, that we hardly recognized the place. Richard Marshall. 14. performed the duties of toastmaster with agility, graceful wit. and becoming modesty. Since the number of the organizations made it impossible to hear from each, the following eight students were selected to give toasts: Vera Clarck. Col. Goe-thals; Otto Myrland. Daniel Webster. Orator; Cora Mautz, Nancy Hanks, an Ideal Mother ; Leroy Burlingame. Gifford Pinchot;” Gordon Owen. Altman, a Business Man; Paula Lingle. Thomas Edison. Practical Inventor; Malcolm Sharp. Abraham Lincoln;” Ruth Strommc, George Washington. M H. S. BASEBALL SQUAD iqij FACULTY BASEBALL SQUAD The baseball light in the Madison High School has been flickering and sputtering for the last two years and has finally been extinguished. Evidently the student body does not care to support it; and. of course, where there is no support, the thing must go. We must of necessity, therefore, look backward instead of forward on the baseball question. The season of 1913, even though a failure financially, was a success according to games won. Out of eight games played. Madison won six; this is not a bad record. The players derived a great benefit from the season. Aside from learning baseball, they accumulated a great deal of knowlcgde along other lines. By the time the season was over, it is doubtful if there were even fourteen men in the world better qualified to meet the requirements of a soldier’s life. One reads about the crowded conditions of the slums, but they don’t compare with the facilities for dressing in a country hotel (the games played were mostly in towns smaller than Chicago). Place fourteen or fifteen fellows in a box about ten by ten. with each one in a hurry to dress, and you have a condition which is truly perplexing. The team, however. proved equal to every occasion: no matter how rank the food, it was always eaten; how little time left to catch the train, it was always caught; and whether defeated or victorious, the bunch was always happy.

TRACK TEAM 1913 In answer to the first call for track candidates for 1913. a squad of perhaps forty aspirants donned their light suits and reported to Coach Winters. 'I his was decidedly disappointing. because a school of our size should turn out at least I 30 boys at the first call. Although prospects for a championship team were far from bright, as only four boys out of the squad of forty were veterans. Mr. Winters immediately set them to burning up” Brittingham Park, and tried a few at clearing a slender bar raised just a slight distance, say five feet, from the ground. It may appear to be a simple matter to convert oneself into an aeroplane for an hour every day. but in reality, it is an art that few master. If any of you have ever noticed Brittingham Park, you will immediately realize that it is far from an ideal training place for track men. In places the park resembles a wind-swept lake, and the roads arc so hard that spikes make but a slight impression upon them. In order to overcome these obstacles. Mr. Winters secured the privilege of training a small squad at Camp Randall. The progress of develpoment. however, was not so pronounced as it should have been, because the squads had to alternate in using the Camp in order to give every one a fair chance. Despite these drawbacks, the boys worked faithfully and earnestly in preparing for the meet to be held at Waukesha by Carroll College. Owing to the fact, however, that our boys captured nearly a bushel of silverware the previous year. Madison High was not invited to the meet. Although somewhat discouraged by the failure to participate in Carroll’s Interscholastic. the squad trained for Ripon's annual meet. Because of financial reasons, only five men were taken. When compared with the twenty-five-man teams from Milwaukee. Ashland. Chippewa Falls, and several other cities. Madison’s diminutive squad failed to attract attention. When the srr.oke of battle had cleared away from the score board, however, everyone was surprised to see that our boys had fought their way to second place. The State Interscholastic held by the University at Camp Randall was the next and last meet. In this our team, composed of eight boys, again displayed their grit and ability by taking third place. Several good records were made by our representatives in this meet; and the old fighting spirit which characterizes Madison’s teams was always apparent. Although the Madison High School was not champion of the state track for 1913, the season was at least profitable for the boys who took part. W. Fuller. M H. S. FOOTBALL TFAM 1913 While unveiling the glorious chronicle of the 1913 foot-ball team, one must have a band playing a good stirring war-song and a thousand fellows yelling with all the pep and lung-power that there is in them; otherwise the tale will not sound natural. When we started the season last year, there were no reasons why it should not prove successful. Almost all the linemen were veterans and there was plenty of material for the backfield. With Mr. Winters behind the fellows, '‘Trainer’’ Buerki to rub them down, and “Bill” to keep the shower warm, how could a team help being PERFECT? But the fates were against us: Richland Center cancelled their game for October 4, leaving us without a practice game before w-e played West Division on October II. As a result, West Division, with the help of hard luck and the elevator boy. succeeded in hanging a 14 to 13 tag upon us. We returned home, however, far wiser than we went to Milwaukee. After that the whole team never tried to ride down on an elevator in one trip: it is very bad judgment. Luck continued against us. Baraboo cancelled their game for October 18. causing much gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair among the old members of the team who were aching to avenge the 1912 game. Notwithstanding this hard luck, the team, accompanied by local supporters, traveled to Beloit on October 31 in good spirits. Dohr and “Trainer” Buerki as usual kept the trip lively with original jokes and Orpheum stunts. Well, to tell the truth, we had a lot of fun with '‘Red and his men. and. after running up a score of 55 to 0. came home well satisfied with the world, to be received with laurels and open arms by the school. On Friday, November 7. the team went on that trip of all trips, namely, to La Crosse. We bunked at the La Crcssc hotel. This hotel has two decided disadvantages: first, the “village clock is right across the road; second, there are tungsten lights in the ceiling of the first floor. For all further information see Dean. Herb, or Dohr. That surely was a wild night which we spent there. Hardly had the village clock banged ten bells, than the night raiders were abroad. From room 38 stole two pajama-clad spectres, one carrying a pitcher of water, the other a chair. Silently they crept down the corridor to the door of room 36. Spectre number cne, pitcher in hand, mounted the chair and softly opened the transom. Splash! the water fell upen two innocent sleeping fellows. In a moment the air was filled with heart-rending shrieks, and the revenge of the Greek and Roman gods was invoked. But when the door was opened, all the hall was calm and silent. Not a soul or a breath of air moved. After that, all was peace; or would have been, had not the lonely hours been marked by the clanging of that unearthly village clock. The La Crosse fellows always put up a good stiff fight, and when they trotted on the field November 8, they were after the blood they had lest the year before. We were too fast for them, however; the team worked like a charm, forward passes, plunges, and end runs working to perfection. To make the story short, we rolled up a wad of 26 to 3 against them. Even great Caesar's famous message to the Roman Senate could not have been met with more joy and enthusiasm, than was that score greeted by our loyal and patriotic supporters. rf On November 18 the North Division Milwaukee team tripped lightly onto Camp Randall. But they had never felt Stone’s head jar their systems or McCreight’s feet crack their shins, and, therefore, knew not what they did. For a full quarter they held us close: then we found our old pace. The line and backfield worked together as one man. One long run after another was pulled off. Cramer and Sweet speared forward passes in a manner that was good for the soul, and, to top everything, Willard got the ball on a drop-kick and ran a neat 100 for a touchdown with Captain Vaughn of Milwaukee a close second. Time, 10 flat. The score was 34 to 0, hut that is of small importance. The thing that will go down in history was the spirit which the school showed that Saturday. Every student was behind the team. Never did a school turn out in a bedy, from mighty-lunged Freshmen to mightier Seniors, like that in which the Madison High turned out to the North Division game. Never were there girls, as well as boys, more hoarse, than those who supported the team on that memorable Saturday. Thus ends the history of a team that could not help but be successful with the school, Mr. Winters, ‘'Trainer Buerki—and don’t forget Bill behind its members.

The first exercises used by the coach in developing mere boys into football heroes, consisted in teaching them how to ’ fall on the ball, developing the “wind.' and hardening the stomach muscles by continued appliances of force, in the shape of a football, on that part of the body. After two weeks of practice, the schedule opened with the Seniors playing the Sophomores. 1 he heavy upper-classmen pushed three touchdowns over the scrappy Sophs. The Juniors and Freshmen battled next. The Juniors expected to win very easily; but their hopes were vain, for the Freshmen held them to a tic. The Sophomores then defeated the 1917 team in a good game. 8-6. It was then time for the Junior-Senior game. Father Dope and all of the Seniors confidently predicted that the Senior team would completely annihilate the Juniors. The arrangements must have been lost, however, for the fast ’13 team sprang a surprise and tied their rivals. The hopeful graduates to be then defeated the Ireshmen. The final score was 18-6. The next two games resulted as follows: Juniors 12, Sophomores 6; Seniors 30, Sophomores 0. The real game of the season took place on Saturday morning, November I. between the Juniors and the Seniors, on a wet. muddy field. The heavy Senior backfield scored on the Juniors once, and kicked goal. Those seven points were enough to win the game, however, and the championship: the Juniors claim that if the field had been dry the results would have been different. I he last game was played between the two lower-class elevens. Fither the Sophomores were not owls the game was played in almost complete darkness- or the Freshies had taken a decided brace, for the score was 0-0. Under the very able direction of Mr. Walker anti Mr. West, when the latter could spare time, the teams were well organized and the schedule arranged and carried out. Taken altogether, the past season was the most successful ever known in class football. R. Schillingci CLASS CHAMPIONS io«3 SOPHOMORE FOOTBALL TEAM 1913 FRESHMAN FOOTBALL TEAM igij C9H5- After the class schedule had been completed, an All-class squad was selected. The next week or so these fellows spent in trying to spill up the regulars, for two reasons; namely, to get the big team ready for Milwaukee, and to get themselves ready for any team which would have the audacity to play them. Such a team was finally found in De horcst. Our squad left on the neon train. Ear-ny Wicdcnbeck had to make a flying leap for it. or the All-class” would have been minus a left tackle. Tardiness, you know, is a characteristic of F.arny. The team went down there with grand expectations of playing on a good field. When they arrived their expectations were completely shattered, for they beheld the grand prcspect of a tobacco field covered with six inches of nice, black mud! The game ended 6-0 in favor of the De Forest team. If you wish to stir up the anger and mirth of anyone at the same time, just mention De Forest to any of these eighteen players who went down. Foot-ball had been given up for the season, when, one day. the All-class men were startled to see the following notice on the bulletin board: All-class plays Stoughton Saturday. Practice tonight. R. A. Walker W;cll. they practiced that night and all week in the rain with fond hopes of going to Stoughton. Early Saturday morning the game was called off because it was feared that neither the Stoughton team nor ours was composed of ducks. Some of the team did not receive the announce-ment and as a result they had ample time before a return train to view the sights of Stoughton. I his year’s All-class team was coached by Mr. W;alker. class coach. and Mr. Staley, midget coach. Under their capable direction many good plays were given out. Unfortunately. more games could not be arranged, and the fcllows[had to be content with trying their good plays on De Forest and the regulars. R. Schillingcr M. H. S. FOOTBALL TEAM IN ACTION e WOLVERINE FOOTBALL TEAM 1013 GOPHER FOOTBALL TEAM 1013 F©©4lba!l I'or what reason are athletics encouraged in all the leading schools of the country? Is it simply to give the honor of being called champions to the strongest of these schools, or is it to help develop the boys enrolled in these schools? Everyone says they arc used to develop the boys. If this is true, it is evident that this training should not be limited to the biggest, heaviest, and strongest of the boys, but should be given also to the smaller and lighter boys. Until 1912, it was only the large, heavy boys that got this training in the Madison High School. If a boy could not '‘make'’ the school or one of the class teams, he was barred from athletic training. In 1912, to remedy this objection, the Midgets or light-weights” were organized and divided into three teams. They were composed of the smaller and lighter boys of the high school. Although the coach of the Midgets was entrusted with the training of the class teams, too. seven teams in all. and although the class teams were considered more important than the Midgets, the plan proved to be a success. A proof of this is the fact that eight members of the Midgets of 1912 made their class teams in 1913. In 1913 one coach gave all his time after school to the training of the Midgets. They were again divided into three teams which picked names for themselves as follows: the Badgers , the Wolverines , and the Gophers”. A schedule of games was played and the Badgers issued victorious. Great credit is due Mr. Staley for the success of the Midget plan. At the end of the season an all-class Midget team was selected. The positions were filled by the following: Stanley O’Shea. Center Dean Juday Right guard Clifton Tuttle Right tackle Richard I licstand Right end Glenn Dahlem Left guard Left tackle Daniel Schlotthauer Left end Stanley O’Shea Quarter back Kendall Dexter Right half Vincent O’Shea Left half Earl Haven Full back Clarence Hollatz BADGER FOOTBALL TEAM 1913 M. H. S. FOOTBALL SQUAD 19U AUDIENCE AT GAME ommw M. H. S. BASKETBALL TEAM 1014 When the broken bones, torn jerseys, and injured players had been cleared off the football arena, the curtain went up for the second act of ‘‘School Athletics”—basket-ball. Much conjecturing had been done as to the quality and number of actors, and as to the prospects for a well balanced cast. With four veterans around with which to build his machine. Coach Winters was not worrying; he had at least fifty candidates from which to choose the fifth man. The first three games were merely vacations for the boys, because it did seem good to be able to let down on hard work when Friday night came. The regularity with which our forwards and center dropped that large ball through those little rings became monotonous. To satisfy the audience, the wearers of the orange and black assembled in a corner to see if their worthy opponents could really shoot a basket. By a rare mistake, a stocky, red-haired gentleman from Portage slipped the ball through the ring. Our first invasion of foreign territory was rewarded with a decided victory over the would-be-champs of Beloit. Because of the indefinite lighting system and the unending floor—each boy carried a pair of field glasses to enable him to see the other end —our quintet failed to roll up more than fifty points. This was decidedly disappointing. The State” Champions,” in the form of Janesville at Janesville were the next boys to fall before our midget team. That game will not soon be forgotten, as the class of basketball displayed was far from mediocre. The contest was clean, fast, and hard-fought: but Madison’s never-die spirit gained another victory by a single point. When it was nearly time to leave Janesville, one of the most daring abductions of the twentieth century was pulled off by our little Art Hedquist. With the skill of a professional. Art advanced stealthily toward one of those four legged animals which possess such musical voics for making night hideous that they are often made targets for old shoes in the misty morn, and. with a dexterous twist of the wrist, placed his victim in a crackerjack cage. Ask Mr. Staley what became of the cat. Now comes the sad part of this review. La Crosse, our friendliest rival, invaded our own gymnasium, relieved us of our beloved orange color, and left us dressed in black only. That was one of the fastest games ever played on the local floor. The ‘‘excitement was intense” during the entire game, and when the score was announced as 18-18, the crowd became frantic. But the excellent team work of our heavier opponents turned the scales in their favor, Madison losing by the close score of 20-18. Don’t become disheartened. Wait for the report from La Crosse. Although somewhat disappointed over the outcome of the La Crosse game, our quintet prepared itself for a two-night stand, one in Racine, and the other in Waukesha. Ah! fellow students, the joys of that Racine trip! Have any of you ever tried to dress in a soft-coal cellar, next listen to a debate, then play basket-ball, and finally take a shower in an ordinary sink? Such were our Racine experiences; but Madison again returned victor. Waukesha SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL TEAM FRESHMAN BASKETBALL TEAM put up a fairly good exhibition of wrestling, but could not stand the slight strain put upon them by a few Madison youths. If the loyal supporters of the gold and black could have seen our second game with La Crosse, our previous defeat would have been forgiven and forgotten. I he tale is simple. Displaying excellent team work, headwork, and Madison spirit, our boys simply could not lose. This was the first time in the athletic relations of these two schools that Madison had defeated La Crosse on her own floor. With but a single minute to play, our boys came from ',behind,, and ran up five points, winning to the tunc of 30—29. Are we satisfied? Well. I guess so! By winning eight out of nine games, and defeating La Crosse on her own floor. Madison High can well be proud of her team. What was more to our credit was the spirit displayed at all of our home games. Without the students and their voices, the season would have been a hollow success. Not too much credit can be given to the man behind the team. Coach Winters. He has gained a firmer place in the hearts of Madison High School students by the showing of his 1914 basket-ball team.

Mildred Jones, you hurt our eyes And fill us full of mild surprise 'Tis only goops that wear such shades— But perhaps they're fitting for young maids. Don’t be a goop! HIGH SCHOOL MOTHER GOOSE RHYMES Hey diddle diddle Clara with a fiddle Mac jumped over the moon Russell laughed to see such sport While Tub ran away with a spoon. Hippity hop to the Candy Shop To buy a stick of candy One for A1 and one for Sal And one for Jim the dandy. Miss Hargrave while teaching Bacon's essays: “I’m afraid none of you got the right flavor of Bacon” this morning.” Mr. Teter to Howard Eaton: Mr. Eaton, a gentleman nes'er tilts back his chair. Mr. Teter then brings his own chair back to the floor. Wonder why the class laughed. Teckcmeyer: Who wrote Gray’s Elegy?” Miss Preuss: Where around here do we use incense?

ALIAS CHARLIE COOLEY RATHER TOUCHING OUR DEAR LITTLE EMPHIE THE THREE INSEPARABLES MICK WORKING, AT LASTI EVEN THE PRESIDENT TAKES RECREATION PERCY IN CAPTIVITY A REGULAR MAN Down the banisters with amazing speed. Making Prof. Jones quite mad indeed. Came Georgie Cairns with a joyful whoop— I think that boy must be a goop. Don't be a goop! I went down to the bulletin board. Scanned it again and again— But all 1 found was just a hoard Of Lost—a fountain pen . Miss Hargrave: When was the Revival of Learning? John Warner: “Before the last exam. Ethel Vinje has a crush. A new' one every day! So that’s the reason she must rush And let her hair go any way. Oh what's the matter? Nothing, only I got a stitch put in my side. Horrors! How did that happen?” I was just hemmed in by a crowd on the first floor. To shave your face and comb your hair, And then your Sunday clothes to wear. That’s preparation; And then upon the car to ride, A mile or two to walk beside. That’s transportation; And then before the door to smile And think you’ll stay a good long while That’s expectation; And then to find she's not at home, That’s thundcration! ADVICE TO FRESHMEN With apologies to Polonius. Give few thoughts thy longue; ‘Tis best that thou should’st be observed, not heard. Make friends, but not with all be intimate; Those profs,’’ whose subjects thou shalt some day take. Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel; But do not waste thy time with entertainment Of each of our dear faculty, who may Ne’er thee reward with marks of X or G. Be wary of a club. but. being in, W'ork hard, that other clubs may envy thine. Give teachers all thine ear, but none thy chin; Take each one's censure, but reserve thy curse. Till safe beyond the reach of their displeasures. Think thrice, look thrice, ere speaking all thy mind. Preserve thy clothes, lest father’s cash give out; Spoil not thy rep by wearing evening clothes To school, nor red-topped boots to tango teas. Neither a blockhead nor a Phi Bctc be, For Phi Bctcs miss one half the fun in life. This above all:—for thy exam’s cram hard. And it must follow, as the night the day. Thou can’st not then get conned in any course. WHAT THE M. H. S. GIRLS DON’T LOOK LIKE EXTRACTS FROM A NEW DICTIONARY Algebra: Mental impressions of mathematical ideas.

Tearing their hair, gnashing their teeth, shaking shreds of torn Tycho-berahns over their heads, and shouting Where are the villiaiis?” Lynch that rotten Board. great mobs of excited, blood-seeking pupils swept through the halls from the first floor to the third. Our efficient and aide police were trampled and oca ten down when they attempted to quiet the raging molts. The state militia was called in, l it to no avail.

N’ot thinking it safe to remain even in the suburbs of the city the terrified Board purchase-! a high powered Ford with the receipts and fled with the utmost speed to the backwoods. It is doubtful if it will ever be safe for one erf the ill-fated Board to venture back to this city. ORPHEUM PARTY A small and select Orpheum party was given recently by the Miucs Edna Xorth-am and Avis Peters. The extended tour of the Madison Grand Opera Company came to a whirl-wind finish last evening with the production of the gigantic opera The Windmills of Holland. The tour, covering all the large cities on the other side of the Atlantic, was attended with the greatest success for all concerned. Over forty productions of this piece were Riven in Berlin. Munich. London, and Paris. Director J. D. Deihl and Conch C. L. Cooper, as well a all the singers, are completely exhausted after a season of hard work. With the exception of Shuriy Me Narnce. the Italian Baritone, who is both-ensl with back work in history, the entire cist is in oxce’.lcn condition.

Mr. Jones telephoned that he was wailing for a Wingra Park car and so would not get there for an hour or so. In order to rush things along. Mis Driver was requested to preside. Miss Murphy and Miss Tormey were assigned to French classes, that being their native tongue, but Miss Jirfinson objected and said n was not a square Deihl. She said that Mr. Tetcr taught her and should continue to do so. Miss Davis stated that out West teacher were taken to school free of charge and insisted that a Buss be sent for her each morning. Miss Kuhn said that during the Winters the school rooms were as cold as Barnes and that it gave her a Payne. Mr. Ramadcll said he wouldn't mind having a Payne. The meeting adjourned upon the arrival of Mr. Jones. ST. PERCY’S HOSPITAL A new Sanatorium known as St. Percy' Hospital for the Historically Feeble-minded has been opened in room 120 by the eminent physician. Dr. P. Wilfred Slocum of Rhode Islam!. Our interviewer attempted to discover some deep- eated purpose underlying the great doctor’s charity, but could find none but the most praiseworthy desire to give the weak-minded in American history the benefit of his renowned skill. As a result of this treatment, the Doctor hopes that hi patients may be able to continue on the high road to graduation. He regrets, however, that it will be impossible to administer to the deficient oftener than every Wednesday evening. Member of the etas of 101$ who feel the need of treatments should communicate with Dr. Slocum and engage his service to guard against calamity. References as to the excellency of the treatment may be had from Edna Northam. Alice King, and Howard Eaton, graduate Inmate . They request, however, that a two cent stamp be enclosed to cover cost of expressing their opinions. 2 THE DAILY SPOOF, JUNE 12, 1914 The Daily Spool TERMS Just smile and you will receive a copy free Subscription strictly in advance.

EDITORIALS BOOKS A book is a collection of blank pages with some words printed upon them, bound between covers and forced upon pupils of the Madison High School. Books often lead many pupils along the primrose path of dalliance to the land of sorrow. The object of books is to prevent pupils from going to too many parties and working too hard. Books are often the cause of making a pupil fad in his studies and. by being left at Brittingham Park, often cause much hardship to the teachers. Without exception, all pupils agree that books should be abolished. THE CORRIDOR CLUB A very famous and elevating club has recently been formed in the Madison High School, whose wonderful influence will be felt for many generations. We mean the Corridor Club. Its memliers are the real thinkers of the school, so of course the feminine sex is excluded. They hold their meetings in the school corridor each day. for half an hour before the tardy bell rings, at morning ami noon. Their motto is “Talk more than your neighbor , and their main points of distinction are poors and “con ''. They spend their time, like sages of old, pondering and discussing great, vital questions of the day. The most important is the Everlasting Girl Question , while The Best Ways to Bluff and How to Get One on Percy are sure to win a place, as arc a thousand others equally important. The benefits to be derived from such an organization can scarcely be overestimated, for such clear thinking and keen wit arc sure to lift the members into a higher and more cultured world. NEW STEAM ROLLER HERE The new M. D. Steam Roller which was recently purchased by the class of 1914 has arrived. The fine new instrument is in perfect running order, well oiled and under full steam night and day. The roller is said to be sufficient to carry any election over all opposition. At the second performance of the roller. Ramon Coffman, a literary man of no little note, tried to interfere with its progress, but was over- come. Mr. Moreland McMurry, an expert mechanic has been engaged to officiate at future runs and is expected to be very competent. All members of the Senior Class who do not get aboard will soon have to get out and get under. SERIOUS RUNAWAY Continued from Page 1 and returned to room 218 without its assistance. The horse was captured in room 120 where it ha l gone to seek more of its kind. Grant Dellenger at firs; claimed the pony but later admitted his mistake and turned it over to the rightful owner. Miss Mclby immediately requested that the matter be hushed up. PLANS FOR HEATING ACCEPTED Plans for heating the lower hall dining room have been sent in by Otto Myrland Hot Air Company. Inc., of Madison, and were immediately accepted. Xo longer will the diners be forced to dine with mittens and mufflers. No longer will they drink frozen coffee. These experiences arc things of the past, for the system to be started will abolish them. The plans provide that during the lunch hour Paul Seger-son and Otto Myrland talk continually. It is estimated that these furnaces can heat enough air to last through the meal and do away with the heavy atmosphere which prevails. In case these hot air engines arc not enough, the Science ?) Club in the other end of the hall can be brought into play. The system is quite adequate for the situation and plans for construction will soon be begun. Hot Air Otio , the president of the heating company, requests, in order to avoid explosions, that no matches be brought into the high school. FAMOUS BANDIT CAPTURED; SHERIFF SHOWS GREAT HEROISM Red Handed Dick, alias Richard Marshall. previously a prominent member of the class of 1914, was arrested today by the stealthy sleuth. Leo Bloomer, and Calla Burmcister. the county sheriff. As the two were loitering along the halls, heartrending cries were heard issuing from the near-by staircase. With cat-like step the two hastened to the scene and found Marshall. a hideous grin upon his villainous face, his hand dyed with blood, choking the life out of a perfectly good joke. In a trice the heartless criminal was overcome and handcuffed. Patrolman Leo Kinney was immediately summoned, and with the assistance of the sheriff, was successful in lifting Marshall into the patrol in which he was taken to the Office. So hot was the anger of the Tychobcrahn Board at this outrage that it was feared Marshall would be lynched. He was immediately confined in a strong cell where he will be kept in solitary confinement until the Tychobcrahn has gone to the printers. MEMBERS OF BOARD GIVE LUNCHEON On April 26. Saturday, the Editor and the General Utility Committee, comprised of Rex Vernon and Howard Eaton, and the Business Manager entertained the Class Prophets with a formal luncheon. The lunch was served on the high-school stage, Rcxford Vernon officiating. The first course was comprised of bread and butter, with hamburgers carefully laid between slices. This elaborate course was followed by ham-sandwiches, which were relished by all. especially Miss Faucrbach. Following this, crumbs a la mode were served with sauce. As the ice cream did not arrive, the last course was omitted. A small sketch was given by Otto Myrland and Rex Vernon entitled, Cleaning up the Mess, or Why Boys Aren’t Suffragettes. DREADFUL SLAUGHTER During the seventh period today a large yellow cur. furiously wagging his tail, strode into room 208. Before any resistance could be offered, the enraged beast seized a helpless eraser from the black board and. amid the shrieks of the pupils, tore his powerless victim to shreds. Miss Young, the teacher in charge of the fated room, should be given the greatest credit for the brave manner in which she handled the situation. She immediately turned in the fire alarm and then attacked the yellow brute with vehement ejaculations of, Please stopl and Get out, sirl Much abashed, the animal retreated into the hall, whereupon Miss Young closed the door and restored order to the room. The fire company came up and. by turning the hose upon the yellow cur. succeeded in driving him from the building. FORUM TRANSPORTED The pupils of the Madison High School may move fearlessly about the halls in the future, as all dangers to life and property have been removed. Under the guidance of Keeper Kremers of the Mcndota Hospital. all the members of the Forum have been removed to that institution.

My sister has been allowing some letters, which I received from a girl friend, all around school. In misery, Pingic Podcnstein You should be more careful of your correspondence. Dear Miss Jibbey:— I am just fourteen and quite pretty. A university boy has been paying attentions to me. Am I too young to go to university parties? Bethel Wingy. Oh! My, no!—not too young! The old order changcth —One is expected to go out at the age of ten. these days. My dear Miss Jibbey:---I am a cute youth of the Sophomore class. I would like to ask a girl to go to the Orpheum with me. How shall I do it? Elmer Yolson By all means present the girl with one of the tickets ami keep one yourself. Also, be sure to tell her that the tickets are comps . That is the only way to do it. Dear Mis Jibbey:— In walking down a public thoroughfare with a young lady, in the daytime, should he assist her? Dewell Xodgc No; the girl should grasp your arm. If she were not assisted she might fall and sprain her ankle. My dear Miss Jibbey:— I am literally inclined and also inclined to like young ladies. Recently I donated a complimentary ticket for an oratorical performance at H. S. to a youthful miss, who rejected it. She said that it was extremely necessary for her to lend her attention to the subject of German during that certain afternoon. How can I lie sure that she spoke the truthful reason of her rejection? Beseechingly, Camon Koffman Of course she spoke the truth. Do not doubt people's word or you will be more unhappy. Where ignorance is bliss ‘Ti folly to be wise. Dear Miss Jibbey:— I am a young, good-looking lad. All the girls run after me. What shall 1 do? In desperation, Henry I suggest wearing a mask. Also, dress simply, with dark socks and ties. Loud ties are sometimes more attractive than the wearer. Moths arc attracted by Barn-ing colors. My dear Madam:— I have much trouble trying to find out which of several girls I like best. How can I decide? Yours truly. Paul Wrainficld Keep several going at one time. I think that that is the best way. If you are light haired you should go with a dark haired girl. NEW HISTORY PUBLISHED A Monumental work in the form of A History of the Senior Class has recently been completed by Prof. Otto Myrland B C. S. T. of the Madison High School, and Mist Clara Fauerbach I.. L. B. of the same school. The work is marvelous for its originality and droll humor as well as the dire prophecies for the future. As soon as the work is out, Prof. Myrland and Miss Fauerbach will sail for Europe on the next tram to avoid public opinion. THE CITY SICK Michael Zwicker has been confined in the City Hospital during the past week with a severe attack of Spring Fever. 1 he illness is due to over-exertion in writing note .

After several attempts had been made to revive him. our cherished friend once more regained consciousness and is now restored to his usual strength and vigor. TRACK COACH HAS NEW SYSTEM The track coach of the Madison High School has develojied a new system for keeping his set of stellar athletes in trim. A series of sprains and bruises has put the team in poor condition for the coming meets, but the new system will remove many difficulties and facilitate the work. The new remedy consists of daily applications of Foley's Pine Tar, for coughs, colds, and rheumatism; 25c and 50c at all druggists. 4 THE DAILY SPOOF, JUNE 12, 1914 CLASSIFIED ADS WANTED WANTED—Our Tychoberahn-Every Student.

MALT WASON I’m of patient disposition, bearing troubles, quite a mass, but there's limits to my patience which it were not well to pass. I will stand for lots of trouble, hardships I will bear galore, but this flabbergasted volume I shall cast upon the floor. IH no longer have it near me filling me with ache and pain, for to labor in its clutches sure does go against the grain. 1 have not a kick to enter 'gainst working hjra and with a wiU; but ere 'III buck this Huff all winter. I shall slay and smite and kill. Now that I've relieved my brain cells of these lines of blood and gore, in the verse of old Walt Mason, which you’ve doubtless read before, you will understand, reader, if thus far you've read my junk, why it is that Latin standings often are expressed as punk. THE POET’S CORNER Alas! Alas! I’ve lost my hope! I've lost my cake of Ivory Soap! (Composed by Miss Moseley in first period English) LIT TEAM GOES EAST The star debating team of the Madison High School Literary Society left this morning for Washington where it will take part in the House debate on the tariff question. The team contains three of the finest orators the country has ever produced. Speaker Borden has summoned the Lit team to speak in favor of peaceable settlement so that American capitalists in Madison may not suffer any more losses. The first speech will be made by Quick in answer to Senator Vernon of Wisconsin. The second day will see an exchange of arguments between Representative Burlingame and Maltie Sharp, and the third set of arguments will be presented by Clarence Miner for high tariff and Hon. Ray Cary for free trade. The whole country is awaiting with eagerness the outcome of a debate which will doubtless become as famous as the Lincotn-Douglas Debate. AT THE MOVIES The Management of the Majestic has been transferred and the theater will now be run by the Misses Josephine Ferguson and Clara Pauerbach. The young ladies haw had a great deal of experience in moving pictures, and it is thought that the management will be much more efficient than formerly. The theater will be opened next Saturday night and two fine six-reel films will be shown. The first one. When the Slips are Late , gives a graphic picture of what happens to an erring pupil when he fails to do his duty. The second is entitled George and Avis , or All for the Sake of Rex . Although this play is perhaps not so thrilling as the first, it is certainly a well presented romance. It deals with the life story of a group of people and takes them through to old age.
