Dudgeon Superintendent of the Madison Public Schools The Madison High School Om Hagfia School -P sft amd Present In 1838 a brush” building of rough oak shakes, about twenty by eighteen feet, was erected in Madison for the purpose of Education. 1 his building was put up at the cost of $70 raised by popular subscription from the parents of the fifteen pupils. Miss Brayton, the school-marm. was paid two dollars per week, of which she paid one dollar for her board. The rest was to be used for minor purposes. It was at this time that a group of Winnebago Indians in jocular mood formed a circle around the school one morning, and, |x unding on tin kettles, so horribly frightened the students that, after the Indians had gone, school was dismissed for the rest of the day. The benches of the school were split logs, slightly leveled, and placed on j egs for legs. Around the wall ran the shelf-like desks. When writing, the pupils turned their backs to the teacher; and when they had to recite, they gracefully lifted their legs over the benches, and faced about. When the school became crowded, the hollow square in the center of the room was filled with benches, and the writing at the desks was done on the installment plan. In 1844 there were only 215 people in Madison, and such a thing as a high school was unheard of. The teachers were not professionals, and were expected to teach only the three R s. Some time later a Select School for Misses” was established in the Capitol Square in a rude shack formerly used for a tool shed. Here somewhat advanced studies were offered at the rate of three dollars per quarter. In 1847 the Madison Female Academy was built at the cost of $3,000 on the site where our high of today stands. By 1858 this had become a general high school. It was at this time that the principal complained that 50 per cent, of the absences were caused by delay in building sidewalks to the school. . PAGE NINE In 1873 a new high school was built on this same site at a cost of $20,000. Of the fourteen members of the graduating class of 1874, eight went to the University. In 1914 about one hundred out of one hundred sixty-seven graduates continued in the “U’ It was not until 1906 that our present $250,000 building was erected. Our high school today has twenty-nine class rooms, an auditorium seating 900, a large gymnasium, and a fine library. It consists of fourteen departments, fully equipped, together with a corps of fifty-eight teachers, and an enrollment of one thousand forty-nine pupils. It is one of the finest schools in the west; we certainly have reason to be proud of our Old High. PAGE TEN PAGE ELEVEN Our Faculty Grace Bailey B. A.

Colors Orange, Blue, and Brown PAGE EIGHTEEN History ©if ftltae Class ©if 1915 We came, we saw, we conquered is a statement that very nearly describes the Class of ’15. I say very nearly ; for the mere idea that any combination of words could give a true account of the Seniors is absurd. We came as Freshmen and saw as Freshmen the Herculean Labors that lay before us. We did not take one or two years to accustom ourselves to the light; but, taking off our coats and rolling up our sleeves, we went to work. Now comes the impossible—to relate not only what we conquered, but what we built up. It was as green Freshmen that we won the Reading Contest and the Indoor Track Meet, and, finally, accomplished the feat of having a member of our class on the Football Team. As Sophomores we wrested the Basketball Championship from the hands of our sturdy schoolmates. And as Juniors, we made it ln o Reading Contests and a Track Championship. In our Senior year we assumed the leadership and made the machine so perfect that the watchful eye of Mr. Barnes was no longer necessary. It was as Seniors that we emerged from our cocoon and spreading our beautiful wings let the light slowly filter through them, sending a beautiful rainbow down the path we had ascended. We sucked the honey of another Oratorical Contest and a Basketball Championship from the deep, sweet-scented flower of Glory. Then we gently floated off and soared higher and higher, the entire world standing amazed and breathless as it watched this favorite of the gods, until we reached the height where we were no longer visible to the human eye. As we pass beyond the gates of our home, we shall carry the fame of two All-State football men with us; but above all we shall leave a High” sunning itself in the greatest honors that any class has ever left. In truth “we came, we saw, we conquered ; but even beyond that, we have builded better than we knew. PAGE NINETEEN PAGF. TWENTY Adams. Edward Erncsl Ernie M. H.

He was attempting the Herculean task of transcribing the history of the class of 1916. Distraught in thought, heavy of eye.—the mental organism failed to work. The hour was late, the floor was strewn with sheets of paper containing rejected expressions and forms; and all betokened continuous, strenuous effort. His eyes swept over the floor and the futile work. There was the usual excess of words and paucity of ideas characteristic of Junior writing. Finally, he raised his eyes and gazed into unresponsive space, as he had done scores of times before. There before him seemed to be a glow having much the appearance and size of a firefly, but continuous, unremitting. The Junior watched it with something of amazement, as it grew larger and larger. The center was pure white and radiated into deeper shades and lights until a rainbow appeared encircling some evolving characters. The Junior’s astonishment grew to amazed wonder; for in that center of crystal light, shone, in blue rays, the following legend: “The Class of 1916. E’en though it shone—watch it shine!

Although handicapped by our size and inexperience, we have not only learned by watching the elder classmen but have also accomplished remarkable results without aid—at least, without the aid of the Sophomores. When we first entered the “High. we thought that we were about to take an important part in the work of our school; but. alas, our high ideals were soon shattered by the Sophs, who laughed over our slightest mistakes. One day, one of our members was actually lost in the building when trying to find the way to the Art House and remained in that precarious condition until a kind teacher set her right. Many others of our class found only after repeated mistakes that the period after the second is the twenty-minute period and not the third. The Juniors and Seniors, however, helped us in every way and we were soon safely installed into the Grand Order of the High.” The year of our Freshman days is about to close and we now consider ourselves nearly as good as Sophs. The path ahead looks pretty narrow and rugged, but by our courage and “stick-to-it-ive-ness” we shall add more than our mite to the honor of the school. Ahem.

Edward PACE FIFTY-EICHT PAGE FIFTY-NINE Mrs. Duffy's Frositirng Mrs. Duffy dcflly slid a knife around ihc edges of a hot, fragrant cake and turned it out onto a piece of oiled paper. She smiled with satisfaction. The cake was all that the most ambitious housewife could desire in the way of lightness and richness. On the pantry shelf was a cold veal loaf guaranteed to tempt the appetite and soften the heart of even that most unapproachable man. Mr. Forbes, who had agreed to lend his presence to the Duffy supper table for that evening. Two delicious salads were reposing in the ice-box, and Mr. Forbes was exceptionally fond of salads. The Parker House rolls, which had been set to rise, were attaining a most satisfying degree of lightness. Marjorie reached for her recipe book. ‘Til stir up the frosting now and then I’ll have a little time to rest before dinner. Let me see,— two cups pulverized sugar, one cup of cream,—and then the walnuts. Oh! she spoke aloud in horror. There’s not a walnut in the house and I promised John I would surely have them on the cake! Running to the door, she looked in vain for the usual small boy who offered most reliable service in the commission of errands for the price of five cents. Some ill-omened spirit had lured him to regions unknown. Even his little sister, who always obligingly summoned him on these occasions, had disappeared. Throwing a cape about her shoulders, Marjorie left the house and started down the street. At the first corner she met a former neighbor, Mrs. Smith, who stopped and insisted upon telling her how all the children, seemingly superlatively robust, had had such dreadful colds, that she just had to wait on them night and day until she herself was all tired out and was suffering intensely from a bad headache. The rehearsal of the various phases of the said headache occupied fifteen minutes of Marjorie’s valuable time. With a somewhat distrait expression of sympathy for her afflicted friend, Mrs. Duffy hurried onward. A loud rumbling warned her that the four-thirty train was approaching. If it reached the depot before Marjorie did. it would inevitably block the crossing for an unknown length of time. Gathering up her skirts, she discarded all pretensions to womanly dignity and ran like a twelve year old boy. But the omnious rumbling grew louder. A short distance off. a black column of smoke appeared above the roofs of the buildings and moved forward. Then the great shiny engine, followed by a long train of heavily moving freight cars, swung around the bend in the track; the train slid into the depot, and, with a great clattering of breaks and squeaking of wheels, stopped, leaving the street crossing barred to all traffic just as Marjorie, out of breath and somewhat disarrayed as to hair, reached the first track. In despair she looked for some possible passage. A block away could be seen the last car. but the way around led through impassable pools of thawing snow and mud. Suddenly Marjorie caught sight of iron steps leading to a diminutive platform between two of the cars. Gathering her skirt in one hand, she caught hold of the iron rail and pulled herself up with such force as nearly to upset a stout gentleman who was cautiously ascending from the other side. Just as Mrs. Duffy and the elderly gentleman were safely on the platform and each preparing to descend on opposite sides, the train gave a jerk. This sent both against the dirty, hard iron frames. PAGE SIXTY By the time they had recovered from their dazed situation, the train was speeding along evenly, carrying the two unfortunate passengers with it. The gentleman was the first to speak. My dear woman, do you know where this train is bound for? I’m not sure. shouted back the other, endeavoring to be heard above the rumble of the cars; but I think it goes to Janesville. Oh, what shall I do! I do wish I had waited. I’ll never let Mrs. Smith hinder me like that again. What are you doing here, sir? “I wanted to get by the crossing. I have an engagement at five o’clock, and I never dreamed this train would pull out so soon. But you can never tell how long they’ll stand. It’s abominable to have tracks crossing streets.” added the man a few seconds after. I should say so. It's not only a hindrance to traffic but dangerous, agreed the dazed Mrs. Duffy. There should be a law forbidding it, angrily shouted the gentleman again. “I’ve lived here five years and it never happened before, though. I don’t know which of us is the more unfortunate. I have company coming to my house at five o’clock. Everything went just fine until Mrs. Smith—’’ Just then the speaker was startled by the shrill whistle which blew almost directly over her head. With this as a warning, the train began to move swiftly, and it was all the stout old gentleman and the frail nervous woman could do to grasp the railings and keep from falling. After going a few miles, which seemed many to the two passengers who were in this paralyzing and terrifying situation, the train slowed down considerably. This gave the old gentleman an opportunity to stretch his neck so as to survey his whereabouts. What he saw w'as a little village. Ah. madame, here is our chance. Most likely the train will stop for baggage, and then we can get off. We won’t be any farther from home anyway. His promise was fulfilled, for the train slowed down, and before many people had time to discover their method of traveling, the gentleman and his companion alighted. Well, we’re off that cursed train now. The next thing is to get back to Madison. Mrs. Duffy answered excitedly that they might telephone to her husband, and he could fix it all right. The gentleman thought awhile and then said. I wonder if we can get a machine to take us back. You wait here and I’ll inquire. With this he stepped up to some men who were standing near him. After talking with them, he returned to Mrs. Duffy and said. Don’t worry anymore. That young man is going to take us home in less than fifteen minutes. Let’s follow him. and start now. With a sigh of relief and a happy, grateful smile toward her traveling acquaintance, Marjorie went to the automobile. Both relaxed when they were seated and homeward bound. Neither spoke for a little distance, for they were so exhausted from the tense strain of traveling in their former vehicle. In what part of the city do you live, madame? We can take you there first.” The eastern side.—not far from where that horrid train was standing, replied Mrs. Duffy. How fortunate! I am going to that neighborhood too. We’re late but that’s better than not going at all. I wonder what your guest will do when he finds no one at home. Well, we were not lonesome on that trip anyway, I guess, were we?” asked the gentleman. PAGE SIXTY-ONE My. no. I certainly was frightened, and I did want to have every thing ready when my husband came home with his employer; but I dont know what I’d have done if it were not for you. I want to thank you for your help, Mr. ------” Forbes, answered the man. Mr. Forbes! Forbes! Of the Coal and Fuel Company? exclaimed Mrs. Duffy surprised. “Then you are my guest, Mr. Duffy’s employer. The old gentleman sat up with astonishment, a bright smile lighting his worn features. Well, you don’t say so! You don’t say so! he ejaculated. This is surely a case of ‘All’s Well That Ends Well.’ ’ Dora Maw. James Howe always forgot. Today he had forgotten three limes and yesterday twice. His mother tried every way she could think of to make James remember. Mrs. Howe opened the closet door and motioned for James to walk in. She had always been patient with him, but it seemed as though she had to do something to cure him of forgetting. James held his head down and marched in. Mrs. Howe closed the door, and as she did so, said, Now you can stay in there with your sins; I will open the door when I want you to come out.” Mrs. Howe locked the door and went down stairs. Everything was so quiet, that, some how or other, she seemed frightened. She sat down at the piano and played a few chords. If he only would make some noise, she thought as she played. But James was quiet. He was not the boy to make a big fuss about a punishment. He carefully did everything his step-mother told him to, only when he forgot. Mrs. Howe finally put on her coat and hat saying to herself, I’ll just run over to Mrs. Dale's a little while. When I get back. I’ll let James out. She went out and walked rapidly toward the Dale residence, which is about a block and a half farther down the street. Mrs. Dale was. of course, glad to see her, and they talked of many things. While they were thus busily employed, they heard a crash outside, and when they looked out of the window, they saw two horses tearing madly down the street. When the horses had turned the corner, the wagon, which they had been dragging, hit the telephone post and was smashed to pieces. This is what had aroused the women from their chat. The excitement caused Mrs. Howe entirely to forget James, and when Mrs. Dale, a few moments later, remarked that there were opening sales in town, Mrs. Howe suggested that they go down and “look around. Mrs. Dale consented and away they went. We will now go back to James. When he found himself alone in the dark closet, he shut his eyes and tried hard to think of pleasant things, but he failed. His mother had said he could stay in there with his sins. Were sins really living things? The closet seemed to get darker. He counted to two hundred. Then he counted black sheep as they jumped the fence and got as far as three hundred. He recited the little verses he had committed to memory. It seemed none of these things could turn his mind from his one big sin, “Forgot. Forgot seemed to ask him. Why PAGE SIXTY-TWO didn't you do as your mother told you today? James was about to say, I forgot,” when he checked himself. It seemed the horrid word would slip out no matter how he tried to keep it in. The next thing which popped into his mind was, Supposing she forgets to come and open the door? I might die in here, and then she'd be sorry all right! The idea that he was going to die seemed to grow bigger and bigger. Yes, he could even feel his heart beat slower and slower. It seemed harder and harder for him to breathe. The big clock on the other side of the door even seemed to say, You’ll die. you’ll die. This thought was so prominent in his mind, that he really grew frightened. He pulled on the door knob. The door was locked! He kicked against the panel and called as loudly as he could. No one answered. He made up his mind to lie down and cross his hands on his chest and look nice” when his mother came and opened the door and found him dead. Mrs. Howe, meanwhile, had forgotten all about her little stepson at home in the closet. She was too much interested in the bargains which she found in the large department stores. She had been down town for nearly an hour when the thought came and crossed her mind like a flash. She turned to Mrs. Dale and said nervously. I forgot something. Goodby. Before Mrs. Dale could answer, her friend had gone. Mrs. Howe fairly ran home. Supposing she should get there too late? Supposing the door fit tight and he could get no air? These suppositions and many more passed rapidly through her mind. She hurried on. Just a block more and she would be home. She gained the steps, ran up stairs, and unlocked and open the closet door. There lay James. The first question which came into the mother’s mind was. Is he dead?” She picked him up. As she did so. he opened his eyes and looked at her. “Oh. James, are you all right? Yes, mother. When James saw the worried look on his mother’s face, he said, You wouldn’t have needed to hurry on my account.” She hugged the boy close and softly whispered, “Oh, James, I forgot. A sweet smile passed across James' face as he whispered back, I’m glad I’m not the only one who forgets once in a while. Lorena E. Schwebs. The OF High Seh©©!

She’ll get it there without no fooling.’’ And so I come, as you’ve all seen. And belong to glorious Seventeen; We think there' $ no such class as we. Cause we’re as smart as we can be! Our High School’s nothin’ ordinary; It beats the Dutch for sanitary. There aint a microbe in the place; One wouldn’t dare to show its face. Our John would see it on the dot And run the vacuum o'er the spot. I tell you what, he keeps things trim; I here ain’t no janitor like him. One thing we do 'at’s lots of fun. Is goin’ to the auditorium. We run down stairs in a pell mcll race. While the teacher urges on our pace. N’nen some very learned man Stands up and tells us all he can. Or plays for us. like Mr. McMurry— He wanted to leave us in a hurry. But we ’st clapped till our hands were sore. And he came back and played some more. It’s very nice we all agree To sit in the aud. for period three. They say that ships pass in the night And we have found that that’s quite right; For the ship on our curtain faded away. And we found green velvet the very next day. PACE SIXTY-FOUR I think our gym is great; don’t you? Where we have dances and banquets too; And where we go to yell and scream And beat the other basketball team. Like every child I had my days Of goin’ through the pony craze; But Pa'd ist shake his head, and sigh That taxes they were much too high. And so I’d grit my teeth and say. Like every dog I’ll have my day!” And now I grin like everythin’ ’Cause I kin ride a horse in gym. And so I love the dear old High. I’d like to stay here till I die; But I. alas, must graduate— To go to college is my fate! Adeline Briggs. Fein. With Apologies to Booth 1 arkington Hey. Skinny, come on over—look whut I’ve got—wowce, he’s a peach! Look, Skin. look. I foun’ 'im down in the marsh. A’int he great?’’ “Gosh—well I guess. He’s good 'nough for the regular zoo. Put ’im down. Pen, le’ see how he goes.” Obeying this command. Pcndelton Smith unfolded from his small dirty hands a shiny, muddy, smelly little green lizard. I he two boys watched it in great admiration as it slowly unfolded its slimy body, and moved forward a little. “Gee, I wisht I had one. Don’t he go great, though? Say, but the fellas’ll be jealous when they see 'im. Whatcha goin’ ta name ’im?” Oh! I dunno,” said Pendleton in a careless, superior way, ”1 ha’int decided yet. Come on an see my zoo today. They’re fine. Here are the Boa Constrictions. A’int they fierce? I’m almost sceered to feed ’em. he said, pointing to a small wired-in box containing three grass snakes, peacefully sunning their glossy backs. “Where’d ya get the canary,” cried unimaginative Skinny, in surprise. PAGE SIXTY-FIVE “Canary, nothin, scoffed Pendelton in disgust; that's a parrot from Australia. Then aside. Mother ha'int missed him yet an' I’m keepin’ 'im out here as long’s I can. This bird, sir, said he, assuming the air of the old keeper, this here bird’s a wonderful anermal, can talk in four languages, this bird. Say, Pen, been down to the zoo today? ‘‘Pen-del-ton.’’ came from the house. Oh I I s’pose that means dinner’s ready, but that's only once. Go on. No, I haven’t been down. Got anything new down there? Nothin’ much. Old Ben showed me how he feeds ’em, an’ where he keeps the key to the cages, n’ told me about the birds n’—. Pendelton, sharply from the house, come to dinner. Twice. said Pen, unmoved. Say. Pen. I got an ideer. Why doncha take your lizard to school to-morrow’n get all the fellas goin’? Oh! naw, said Pendelton, modestly. Aw, g’wan. n’ you can scare the girls too. n’ have some fun with the teacher. All right, I will, but say—” Pendelton Smith, come immediately.” This time sharp and to the point. I’m cornin’, cancha see a feller? I’m comin’s fast ’s I can. G’byc. Skin. Sec ya tomorrow at school. I’m coming.” The next day Pendelton arrived at school with his prize. Hallo. Pen. cried Skinny in suppressed excitement. Got ’im? Yah! Right here.” said Pen. slapping his hip pocket. Whatcha got in there? asked one of the most inquisitive little boys, over-hearing the conversation. “Oh! suthin’ great! ‘’Well, le’ see it. “All right, and digging his hand into his pocket, he pulled out the uncomfortable little lizard. “Oh! fellas, lookee here. cried the excited boy. “Where’d ya get 'im. Pen? By this time all the boys had clustered around, and were enviously viewing Pendelton’s possession. The school bell cut short the flood of questions, and the boys filed into the school-room, Pendelton stuffing the lizard into his desk. Everything went along smoothly enough until the lizard, restless in his stuffy cage, unseen by the small Pendelton. walked, or rather slid down the leg of the desk, and started down the aisle. A little girl, with shining golden curls, and great pink bows, with whom Pendelton wished especially to be on friendly terms, spied it and curling her little feet up under her uttered a piercing scream. A snake! oo—a snake!” What is the matter. Daisy? cried the teacher in alarm; but Pendelton, suspecting what it was, soon recaptured his animal, and this time put it inside his blouse for safe keeping, much to the disgust of Daisy. “Pendelton, what have you there? cried the teacher, while the boys could not suppress their giggles. Nuthin’ — PAGE SIXTY-SIX “Don’t answer me that way. Pendclton; what did you put inside your blouse? Let me sec it.” “Nuthin’ much, only this here anermal,” said Pendclton, drawing it forth. At the sight, the teacher drew back in disgust. “Pendelton, how could you bring a thing like that here. l ake it out immediately.” Pendelton, very loath, but seeing no other way, left the room with his prize. He did not let it go. however, but put it in the mail-box on the front of the small building for safe keeping. When all was quiet in the school room once more, the teacher, standing before her pupils, gave them a talk on kindness to animals. “Children, for a long time, I have wanted to impress upon you that you should be kind to animals. You must never be cruel to an animal. How would you like to be caged in a small box and never be able to roam about in the forest? It would be very hard to bear, would it not? And she went on to tell them all the cruelties animals undergo when in captivity and ended with a short sermon directed expressly at Pendelton. The next day Pen and Skinny were once more alone in Pendelton’s back yard. Say, Skinny, I let that lizard go yesterday. Did ya. Pen? Ya; n’ I’m lettin’ the rest o’ my zoo out now. Are ya? How ’bout the c'nary? Oh! mother got ’im back, but I think when I get a chance I’ll release it from captivity too. It’s cruel to keep ’em in captivity ain’t it. Skin? Yaw—it sure is. Did ya know I’d let my animals go? No, did ya? When? I just released my snakes’n my rat now. Oh! say. Skin. I’m sorry for them anermals down’n the reg’lar zoo, ain’t you? They just walk around in their cages n’—n Miss Snell told us to release anermals in captivity, didn’t she? What da ya say about lettin them anermals out? It’d be a good deed, now, vvouldn’t it? Wall, I dunno. Well. I do; didn't Miss Snell say ’twas cruel to keep 'em in captivity? Didn’t she tell us to let all animals out of captivity? Didn’t she now? Didn't she? cried Pen, getting excited. Y-a-s. Well, let’s do it. You said ya knew where Ben kept the key. It’d be a deed o’ charity. O, come on. Skin! Won’t ya do it? Wal, I dunno, what’ll Ben say? Oh! he’ll be glader’n anything. I heard ’im say t'other day that them darned monkeys made him sore. He’ll be glad, I know. The last obstacle had now been removed, and Skinny assented with alacrity. All right. Pen. We’ll do it. Let’s do it now. Come on.” No, not now—tomorrow morning—real early—just after the sun comes up. You be there then. All right! G'bye; don’t forgit. The next morning, anyone happening to pass the zoo would have seen a queer sight, indeed. Pen and Skinny were about their deed o’ mercy” as they called it. Do not imagine that the zoo was a large one. It was not. It had just recently been installed in the neighborhood, but there were enough aniamls in it to make an episode of this kind exciting. PACE SIXTY-SEVEN Give ‘im a shove with your stick. Skin. There he goes. Look out. he might come after us. All right! Come on. the monkeys next.” “Shall we free these here birds? said Skinny, hesitating before a cage of many colored birds. Why, sure; why not birds ’s well as other animals, I don’t see. Come on, birds!” cried he as he opened the cage door. “Come on. you. Gimme your stick. Skin. There they go. What next?” Well, there’s only one black bear left; shall we let him out? I think it’d be better to leave him in, myself, said Skinny. How ’bout you? He might get somebody, ya know. Oh, scardy-cat, come on! Here you. Mr. Bear, d’you wanta get out? Well, come on then. said Pendelton. squeezing behind the open door of the cage. Come on, I don t want to stay here all day.” The boys never knew what started that bear. He might have seen some of the monkeys which were already hopping about in the nearby trees; but anyway, all of a sudden he made a plunge out of the door of the cage. Almost frightened to death, the boys, stumbling, gasping, wide-eyed, terror stricken, dashed for home, leaving their finished work behind them. A little time after. Skinny and Pendelton met in their accustomed place. Well. Pen. said Skinny, trying to be unconcerned, shall we go to school? Oh! let’s stick around here a little longer. All right; then jumping up, where d’ya s’pose all those kids are goin’?’ I da know; maybe down to the zoo.” The boys looked at each other and there was a world of meaning in that one glance. 1 hey sat in silence for a long time; then, without saying a word, they got up and ran, almost flew, to the zoo. When they arrived at the first cage. Pendelton opened his mouth and eyes in perfect astonishment. Look. Skin, it’s in there agin,” he gasped breathlessly. All of ’em are—gee whiz! Don’t stop; c’mon. They all heard the infuriated old keeper saying, “I’d just like to get my hand on the fellas that let my animals out. I’d fix ’em. The little brats. Consarn ’em anyway. They went off with the key, too. and-- What have you got in your pocket there, you young rascal? Is that my key? Come here. And he collared Pendelton. and drew him into the middle of the crowd. There, protruding from the pocket in the front of his blouse, was a large, shiny brass key. Did you let them animals out? Did you. you little scoundrel? By this time he had hold of both the boys and was vigorously shaking them. Did you? Speak up now.” Well—well, whimpered poor Pendelton, well. Miss Snell said twa$ cruel to keep animals in captivity, so we—we. and he trailed off weakly. What did he say about me? asked a familiar voice at Pen’s elbow; and there stood Miss Snell. She had to pass the Park on her way to school and. seeing the disturbance, had stopped. “What did he say about me?” she repeated. “You said we should free animals from captivity, whimpered Pendelton, so we did’t. She stood puzzled for a moment; but slowly comprehension dawned upon her, and remembering the lecture of the day before, she burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. When she finally regained her breath, she addressed herself to the old keeper. PAGF. SIXTY-EIGHT Oh! Mr. Ellsworth. I m so sorry, but I see it’s all my fault; and she went on to explain to the old man. He listened to her attentively, chuckling now and then; and when she had finished he, too, burst out laughing. He laughed until the tears rolled down his face, and his sides ached, and the last words Miss Snell heard as she led her small charges from the scene of the episode were. Well, I never. I never.” Susan Ramsay. A Stodieinift to His GI s bs Full many a day my eyes ha e shone With clear and happy light; Full oft their duty nobly done As I studied late at night.

The snow fell faster and faster. The wind moaned and whistled and shrieked around the bleak mountain tops, bar up the side of the mountain, there nestled a little cabin. From the window on each side of the place streamed a searchlight. Suddenly the door was thrown open, a huge dog sprang forth into the storm. His master stood for a short moment listening. What did he hear? What did the moaning wind say to him? Something which made him shudder and turn back to the warm fireplace. For a moment he stood gazing at a picture over the fireplace. He sank into a chair by his work-table burying his head in his hands. It was useless for him to attempt work on such a night. The wind was speaking to him.—moaning, sobbing. A short distance from the cabin the dog stopped short. He stood motionless, his ears pointed and his head poised as though listening to something far off and almost inaudible. The sound seemed to grow nearer, for the dog's attitude of intent listening relaxed a trifle and gave place to one of comprehension. The animal gave a low whine and bounded away. On. on he raced, stopping now and then to listen intently and then resuming his chase. At one of these pauses he caught a scent. Every limb quivered with excitement. Wildly he plunged forward again. In another moment he was furiously shaking something, the seemingly lifeless form of a man. The dog shook the figure again and again but with no result. He stood for a moment gazing at the helpless man. With almost human instinct the animal began licking the man’s face, then his wrists. The efforts were in vain. The dog seemed to realize that help was needed. He turned his head toward his master’s cabin and cried out a long, loud wailing call. Anyone hearing that sound would surely know it to be a call for help. One person did hear, the one for whom it was intended. At the sound of that familiar voice, the man started from his reverie. He waited. The call came again and again. Yes, Bernardo had found someone, someone unconscious or perhaps dead! Quickly he dressed himself for battling with the storm. Taking one of the searchlights from the window and a hand sled and harness from a corner of the room, he went forth into the storm, following in the direction of the dog’s call. As the call grew louder the man answered. Coming. Bernardo. Patience, my brave! The very tone of the dog’s answer was one of relief; but not for a moment did he leave off watching over the victim of the storm. The master came. 1 he unconscious figure was placed upon the sled, and the dog. harnessed to it, conveyed the helpless burden back to the cabin. The storm had passed on. leaving a peaceful scene,—the mountain, snow-covered.—the day. dawning, ruddy and golden.—and the little cabin half hidden in the snow. Within the cabin, a cheery fire blazed forth its warmth. The shelf over the fireplace was covered with delicately carved wood. The work-table near by. with several unfinished pieces of carving upon it, revealed the occupation of the master of the cabin. Above the fireplace hung a picture of a beautiful young girl, in the dress of a Swiss peasant maid. Her hair was flaxen, her cheeks rosy. The laughing eyes looked out of the carved frame, startlingly life-like, into those of the old man by the fireplace. In another part of the room, on a cot. lay the man who had been rescued from the storm a few PAGE SEVENTY days before. He, too, was looking at the picture. Who was this lovely girl? He knew that in some way this maiden was very important in the life of his rescuer. Something about the unique situation of this cabin far up above the village,—the old man's life, spent alone with his work and his dog; and the picture,—set the younger man to thinking, wondering. The master of the cabin turned to his patient and found him thus gazing at the picture. His eyes filled as he saw the open admiration in the stranger’s face. She is lovely, isn’t she?” he said in a low, clear voice. It was five years ago in just such a storm that I lost her. Every time it storms I can hear her voice in the wind calling, calling to me to come and help her. The other night I heard it so plainly that I felt sure someone was lost. Bernardo knew it, too; he whined and was restless. He went to the window several times before I let him out.” ”1 suppose it’s useless to suggest such a thing, but, really, sir, I will give most any price you ask for that dog. Will you sell it?” Sell the dog? Sell Bernardo? Never! I would die rather than part with Bernardo! He’s all I have left in this world. He was with Grctchen when she was lost. He loved her, too.” At mention of the girl’s name, the dog, who had been sleeping by the fire, started up. He came over to his master putting his huge shaggy head on the old man’s knee, and looking up into his face to express sympathy and understanding. With his arm flung about the dog’s neck, the bereaved father poured out his pitiful story to his sympathetic listener, the man on the cot. We lived in the village below here then, my little girl and I. and the dog. Her mother died when she was a little tot and I brought her up alone. She was sixteen when she—died. She started out with Bernardo early one morning for a little trip up this mountain. She was fond of taking little trips alone with the dog. She wandered farther than usual this time though; then a storm came up. It was a terrible storm, and it came up suddenly. Many of the villagers knew Gretchen was up in the mountain; some wanted to go after her but I knew the dog was there and thought he would lead her safely home in a little while. As the time passed I began to lose confidence in the dog. So. with a large party of the villagers. I set out up the mountain. I he storm was furious. We all knew how hopeless it was to try to battle with it; but we kept on, taking the path that she had taken early that morning. At last we saw an object approaching. My heart sank.—it was Bernardo and without the girl; but he carried in his mouth a bit of her dress, a blue frock it was. I knew that something had happened to my little girl. Oh, Bernardo!” The man’s head sank down upon the dog's. “How can you be faithful and trust me after what I did that moment? I was insane with grief. My only thought was that the dog had been unfaithful; that he could have guided her home. I struck.—struck my dog. Oh. sir. the look in those eyes brought me back to sanity. I realized that if there was anything on this earth I could trust, and that to the bitter end, it was Bernardo. I knew that, no matter what had happened, Bernardo had done all in his power to prevent it. We started on again but Bernardo refused to go. He pleaded as plainly as he could have spoken for us not to go on into that furious storm. T he villagers obeyed him and forced me to. We all realized rather vaguely the truth. Then came those hideous hours of waiting; waiting for the storm to stop. At last it did. Bernardo was the first to urge us to start out again. He led us up the mountain to one of its deepest crevices. It all came to me in a moment; the girl had insisted upon following her own direction. She came to this terrible place. The snow was blind- PACE SEVENTY-ONE ing. She didn’t know where she was. She stepped off into the darkness below. The dog sprang to save her but only caught a piece of her dress which lore as she fell. This he used to help him carry the story to me. I don’t remember much after the realization of the truth flashed across my mind. Everything went black and empty. In the darkness I was calling and looking for Grct- chen. I hey say I was delirious for weeks: but—well, as soon as I was able to move I took my work up here in the mountains, my work and my dog. to live here within sight of that crevice and save others from sharing the fate of Gretchen. The people of the village set up a little monument on the edge of the crevice where we thought she walked off. You can see it from here.” There was silence in the room for a moment after the story. The stranger was looking at the picture over the fireplace, and so was the father; both were thinking with a heavy heart of the sad. sad fate which had ended that promising life so abruptly. It was the stranger who broke the silence. “You are doing a wonderful work up here in these mountains, sir. you and your dog! I can never fully repay you for what you have done for me. It would be a crime for me. even with your consent, to take that noble animal away from you and his work here; but if anything should ever happen to one of you. remember you have a friend willing and waiting to receive you into his family.” The stranger took a little slip of paper from a pocket upon which he wrote his address. Giving this to the old man. he turned again to the picture above the fireplace. The old man took the address and placed it in an old. worn pockctbook with a piece of blue cloth upon which a tear fell as he looked at it again. He then turned to the window, gazing out upon a little headstone a short way up the mountain at the edge of a crevice. Ruth Luckey. Homoir Winns Virgy looked longingly at the big poster on the bulletin board which bore this notice: MADISON vs. LA CROSSE Big Game Every One Out Her pretty forehead wrinkled in deep perplexity as the thought came to her that Jim hadn't asked her to go to the game yet, and here it was Friday night. Well, I don’t care.’’ she asserted, and her pretty curls bobbed up and down as she turned suddenly away from the poster. “Why. hello there. Virgy. I’ve been looking for you. Going to the game tomorrow’? And the speaker waited for a reply. N-o-o—I don’t think so.” Her brow wrinkled more deeply. She didn’t like Ted very well and she hesitated, thinking what to reply. He w’as good looking all right. All the girls were just wild about him. But somehow it hurt because Jim hadn’t asked her first. May I have the honor? queried Ted. “Oh. I'd just love to go,” and Virgy raised her eyes approvingly at Ted. Good. I'll see you tomorrow. In a hurry right now. so must beat it. And he hurried down the corridor. PAGE SEVENTY-TWO Virgy was happy now. She wasn’t going to give up everything just because Jim was so slow. That evening at the supper table Virgy was just telling her father and mother of her invitation to to-morrow’s game when the telephone rang. “Better answer it. Virgy. It’s probably his high and mighty lordship ; and Mr. Morrison winked at his wife. O dad. you’re the biggest tease,’’ and she patted his cheek caressingly as she passed his chair. “Yes.’’ she called out as she took down the receiver. “Oh! Hello.” “Y-c-e-s—I’m— Ted asked me. “You’re going to play? Oh, how dandy! “Note! I didn’t get any note.” “How funny. Phil isn’t the kind of girl to forget such things.’’ I’m sorry. I wondered why I hadn’t seen you. “Mad? No, not at all, n—o-w.” Good-bye.” and she went back to the table feeling ten times happier. Now- what’s up? demanded Mr. Morrison. Oh. Jim’s going to play tomorrow. And. mother, what do you think? He gave Phil Beavers a note to give to me yesterday, and I saw her twice and she never said one word about any note. Phil doesn’t usually do things like that.” Oh. she probably told some nice looking chap to do the errand and he forgot to deliver the goods, teased Mr. Morrison; can’t fool an old fellow like me. It was about this same time that Ted stole cautiously up the stairs and locked himself in his own room. He slowly drew from out his pocket a small piece of crumpled paper. He looked at it nervously, then suddenly unfolded it and hastily scanned the neatly written words. He smiled to himself and unconsciously muttered, I’ll get even with him! and with that he carefully refolded the note, and bounded down the stairs three at a time. Give me 1605, please. Hello, that you, George? I’m coming down to see you. “All right—in a little while—Good-bye. and he was off. A short time after, Ted and George, who was the captain of the football team, were discussing the morrow’s game. Finally Ted saw his chince. Too bad about Jim. isn’t it? Jim! What’s the matter with him? Ted moved nervously; but after a second’s hesitation, calmly replied. Why. I hear Coach Kuglcr has given him strict orders not to play. “Not to play! exclaimed George, rising. Why, boy, he’s our best player, the only one we can rely on to make a goal. No one can make a kick-off like Jim. Why, we’ve got no chance against those La Crosse fellows with Jim out of the game. But what’s the matter with him? Ted fidgeted again in his chair. George was looking straight at him. Why, I wouldn’t have said anything only I thought everyone had heard about the scrape he got into the other night. Scrape! What about? It was nervous business, but Ted had gone too far to stop now. Why one of the Profs happened to see J m coming out of Palmer’s place down on the Square, and it was all off with him and football. Of course, you already know such things are against the rules. PACE SEVENTY-THREE It was George’s turn to pale. He stood motionless, unable to say anything. Cheer up. old fellow; it’s too bad; but you know the whole school is living in hopes of your touchdown to-morrow. I must hurry on. Brace up—it’ll be all right. He jerked his cap onto his head and was gone before George had a chance to recover from this awful news. Finally he realized, as captain of the team, that he must do something. He got into his coat hurriedly and started off towards Mr. Kugler’s home. Mr. Kugler opened the door. Why, you, George? Glad to see you. Come right in. It was the same cordial and understanding voice that he always used in talking to the boys. Mr. Kugler, I came to see you about Jim. Jim—why, what’s up? He motioned to George to sit down. This sudden question made George look up hastily. “I understood you weren’t going to allow Jim to play to-morrow. I think somebody has been working a bluff on you. Why, Jim is our best player.” This laughing remark caused George further perplexity and before he realized it, he was repeating every word that Ted had said to him. Mr. Kugler looked worried. Do you know who it is that saw Jim? Yes. Professor Lynch. Wait a second, and he left George alone in the room. He soon returned and with such a downcast look on his face that George trembled for fear of what he was going to say. He only said, I fear it is true. ¥ ¥ ¥ It was a beautiful day for a football game. The grassy field couldn't have been better, and Apollo couldn’t have guided the sun in a better course; for although it was bright, it kept behind the clouds enough so that it was no hindrance to the players. Lveryonc was in the mood for a good game. Virgy and fed were already there among the many other enthusiastic football fans. Ted was in his glory. Why shouldn’t he be, when the prettiest and most popular girl in high school had accepted his invitation? And today Virgy was looking her best, with her deep brown eyes sparkling with excitement. The chic cap she wore helped to keep her pretty brown hair in place. The cool breeze added a touch of color to her cheeks, and altogether she was very charming; Ted couldn’t help but be in his glory. And. too, both teams were eagerly waiting for the referee to blow the whistle. Jim was there in better spirits than usual. George could hardly bear to think of what an awful blow it was going to be to this husky fellow not to play. George looked at the clean-cut face of this best player the old high school had known for years. Could it be possible that such an honest, true, energetic fellow had disgraced himself so? His attention was just then attracted by the appearance of Coach Kugler, who forced himself to be as pleasant as usual. Every boy there had a deep feeling for this man and he in turn possessed an understanding regard for them. The coach turned toward Jim. who seemed to be feeling unusually gay; with a slow step Mr. Kugler approached him. I want to see you out here, and he moved toward the door. Jim followed. George watched the two eagerly. He had an inclination to run after them and try to make it all right for Jim. But no—the honor of the school was at stake. Mr. Kugler spoke hurriedly. Jim, I’m sorry this has come, but we have to put Ned in your place. You know the rules of the school. and he hurried out. leaving Jim alone, for he couldn't PAGE SF.VENTY-FOUR bear to see the effect his words would have. Personally he liked Jim better than any other fellow on the team. Jim couldn’t comprehend just what had been said to him. He sat down on a nearby box and with his head resting between his hands, he tried to understand what on earth was the meaning of all this. George, seeing Coach Kugler approach, retreated to have a few words with Jim. Jim—I’m sorry, was all he could say. Jim looked up. “George, what does this mean?” George bit his lip but managed to force these words, The Palmer, Jim—why did you do it?” Jim jumped up with a start—a smile brightened up his face. That’s it—is it? The whistle blew, and the game was soon on—there was no time even to attempt any explanations. Madison made the first touchdown, but soon luck turned in favor of La Crosse. Suddenly, somebody called out, “Where’s Jim? We want Jim!” and everyone took up the cry. Virgy turned to Ted. Why isn’t Jim playing? Ted moved closer. Why—got put off—got himself into a scrape.” Oh!” was all Virgy could reply. So the game went on; the opponents rapidly piled up their score; and Madison lost. Virgy was disappointed. What Ted had told her about Jim had hurt, and she went home feeling very downcast. Monday morning found Jim in the office waiting to explain this trouble to Mr. Close, who was held in high esteem by every pupil. And there was not one but respected his stern demand for obedience to rules. Well, said the principal, peering over his glasses at Jim. I believe you have an apology to make. Yes—but let me explain. No explanation is necessary. I understand the situation thoroughly. You can’t deny you were at Palmer’s place last Wednesday evening, can you?” Jim colored. No, I can’t. You arc suspended from school for a month; and if you come to the conclusion that you can obey the rules of the school, we'll take you back. You’re dismissed. In the meantime. Virgy was not far off. A notice on the bulletin board had attracted her, but she was soon interrupted. “Good morning. It was Ted. Hello. Ted. I sec they— Oh. Ted. called somebody from across the hall. Come here a minute, will you? Excuse me. Virgy. I’ll be right back.” He turned quickly and in so doing drew his hand from his pocket. A small piece of paper fell to the floor, but before Virgy had time to call him back, he was lost among the group of students. Virgy picked the paper up. thinking that she would keep it for him. She glanced unconsciously at the worn paper and caught sight of her name on top. Curiosity made her look inside and, much to her surprise, she found it was the note she should have received from Jim. Just then a group of girls caught sight of Virgy. and came running up to her. PAGE SEVENTY-FIVE Oil, Virgy, called out Phil, I forgot to tell you about that note the other day. But I gave it to l ed to give to you. I thought you wouldn't care. Was it awfully interesting? and she gave Virgy’s arm a little squeeze. What’s the matter? You aren’t mad, are you? No—but—.’’ Virgy turned and started away from the girls. But she caught sight of Jim coming from the principal’s office, and to avoid m-eting him she turned and ran up the stairs. She was angry now. So that’s where Jim’s note was. She stopped at her locker, and. seeing no one near, unfolded the note and carefully read it through. Yes- there it was in black and white. Jim was to have played Saturday and then he didn’t. She heard some one coming. She turned and saw a group of boys, talking very earnestly. I tell you. let’s get up a petition and send it down to the office to get Jim back.” Virgy, on hearing Jim’s name, listened more intently. It isn’t fair. Ted’s been getting off too easy, altogether.” Well, we’ll send in a petition that we want Jim back, and if they don't take that, we ll just let them know that Ted was to blame for it all. Ted to blame! Virgy hurried on for fear of hearing more. The thought again came to her of what Ted had said about Jim. Perhaps—no—it couldn’t be; but anybody who would be mean enough to keep another’s personal note, would do anything. Virgy had made up her mind what to do. That night after school she repeated to George what she had overheard. “And he was suspended? Virgy questioned. Yes—but I sec now how it is. Ted’s been aching to get himself into trouble and now he’s going to get it; and he hurried off in the direction of the principal’s office. Mr. Close, I hear that you have suspended Jim from school and I have it from pretty good authority that Ted Huntington was the cause of it all. I don’t believe that Jim was guilty of anything wrong. “Urn—that so? I’m glad you told me. I’ll see Ted about it.” George left the office feeling mean. It was hard to tell on anyone so deliberately as that. Tuesday morning found Ted before Mr. Close. Ted fidgeted. He knew what was coming. He simply had gone too far. The principal spoke first. Well, I want this trouble explained. What have you got to do with Jim’s being where he was last Wednesday?” Ted paled. What could he say? It had to be the truth and that meant his high school career would be ended. Mr. Close was eyeing him closely. Well? he again questioned. Ted started, dropped his head and finally stammered, It s my fault—Jim came after me because my mother asked him to. I— Enough! I see the situation plainly now. Do you know what this means?’’ Yes. Before you go. I want to sec you this afternoon. Ted walked down to his locker to get his coat. Virgy saw him and for a minute, when she noticed how troubled he was, she felt sorry for him; but her sorrow soon left when she thought how loyal and honest Jim had been. That same morning, Mr. Close called Jim up and told him that he was wanted at the office immediately. Jim went, and in the same frank manner, again faced the principal. PAGF. SEVENTY-SIX Jim. I want to apologize to you. began the principal. I hope you realize that I did what I did because I believed it was not only for your own good, but for the good of the school also, gut I want to say that I’m mighty glad to have the privilege of welcoming you back. Jim smiled. He could find no words to thank Mr. Close. He turned and left the office feeling happy. Virgy met him. “Oh. Jim! and she walked on down the hall with him. Claire White. The November sun shone brightly down upon the little cottage on the very outskirts of Paris. The air was balmy.—so balmy, in fact, that grandmother had brought her rocking-chair out of doors, and sat basking in the sun. She was knitting, knitting, knitting, her fingers flying busily, making warm socks for the soldiers. So peaceful was the scene, that one could scarcely believe that only a few hundred miles away men were fighting and dying, each for his country's cause. As grandmother thought of them, and of the cold weather that was to come, she shivered, her fingers working faster than ever. Behind the house, lounging comfortably on a bench, sat Maurice, aged eighteen. It was very comfortable to sit thus, and smoke one’s pipe, and doze.—quite the most comfortable thing in the world. As he mused, he came to the conclusion that life was not so bad after all. There were people worse off than he, yes, much worse off—then a thought seemed to strike him. He must go to town this day; and, at the thought, an unpleasant frown crossed his sullen features. As he lit his pipe for the third time, he exerted hmiself sufficiently to raise his voice. Jean. he called; then, as though entirely worn out by so great an effort, he sank lower upon his bench. Slowly, around the corner of the house, came a boy several years younger than Maurice. He turned a face strangely old to his brother, a questioning look in his eyes. You can get the horse ready. Maurice informed him with extreme condescension; I’m going to town. Then, when you’ve done that, get the potatoes ready. I’ll want to go soon. Wait a minute—get me my coat and hat. will you?” 7 he younger boy started off without a word and disappeared into the barn. The grandmother worked on. The beauty of the day had had its effect on her. Her eyes were alight, her spirits were high, and she longed to find some way of venting them. Waving a half-finished sock over her head, she shouted. “Vive la France! to the empty air. Really, that was ex-hilerating; why had she never thought of it before? As pleased with herself as a child, she tried it over again. Well done, grandmother. remarked a deep voice close at hand, and, turning sharply around, she perceived a man leaning upon the gate, watching her attentively. Her frown changed to a smile. Come in, Pierre. she laughed. “Really, it’s very rude to steal up and scare one in that fashion. Now what do you want? A cup of my good tea, I suppose, and some of my cakes? He nodded absent-mindedly, but he looked the other way. and did not move. PAGE SEVENTY-SEVEN Come in, then, said the grandmother hospitably, as she bustled into the house, and I’ll have things ready in a minute. Pierre Damplaisc! she exclaimed ten minutes later, what on earth is the matter with you? Here I’ve called you four times, and you haven’t answered yet. Have you gone stone deaf? Why don’t you come in? Pierre started violently, then moved reluctantly into the yard and seated himself on a bench. “Where’s Marguerite? he enquired, making use of the first idea that popped into his head to start conversation. Marguerite was the mother of the two boys. At the hospital. She finds it hard to get away now. She hasn’t been home for over a week. That’s good—that is, of course I mean, that’s too bad. Where’s Maurice? Well, I declare, I forgot him. I was so glad to see you. No matter, though; I think he has gone into town. Maurice! she raised her voice, ‘‘Maurice!” Several minutes of complete silence followed, during which Pierre moved nervously about on the bench; then Maurice came strolling leisurely around the corner, pipe in mouth. What, not gone yet? demanded his grandmother good-naturedly. Too much to do, I suppose. Well, sit down and have some tea. Her eyes rested on him adoringly, as he dropped indolently upon the ground. She didn’t call Jean. Pierre hadn’t asked for him, and it didn’t seem to occur to her. Attracted by the sound of voices, he peeped around the corner of the house, to see who was there. He dropped down into the grass, prepared to enjoy himself after a fashion, listening to the conversation. An hour passed. Finally the guest, cup in hand, arose. Vive la France! he said, in ringing tones, and looked straight at the grandmother. She, an answering fire in her eyes, sprang up. held her cup aloft, and repeated the words—and they drank. Are you as patriotic as you seem? queried the guest, regarding her strangely. Yes, oh yes, breathed the grandmother fervently. That is good. he answered quietly. We need more such women as you, who are willing to give up their sons for the sake of their country. We shall need Maurice—in January. Pierre turned to leave, not wishing, perhaps, to witness the effect of his words; but the grandmother caught him by the arm. Her face was ashen. No! You can't mean that? My Maurice! He is so young—and all I have! We need more men, reiterated Pierre. They all have to go.—sooner or later.” Yes. I know, and. I’m not blaming you. But it seems so unjust! O. why couldn’t it have been Jean? Hov can I ever tell Marguerite? and she sank down on the bench, her head in her hands, sobbing. Every vestige of color had fled from Maurice’s cheeks, and the hand which removed the pipe from his mouth shook like a leaf. Not a word escaped his parted lips, but he looked at Pierre with dilated eyes. His very hair seemed to stand on end and brand him—coward. Pierre stood there a minute, absolutely at a loss; then he stole quietly away. Jean, in the grass around the corner of the house, lay still, his mind busy. He loved his mother, and he liked to make people happy. Here was a chance—something he could do. for which he might possibly be commended. Then, too, had not Pierre said that France needed more men? His beloved fatherland was in danger! PAGE SEVENTY-EIGHT Could not he do as much to save it as anyone else? His eyes glowed as a new thought entered his head, and his heart beat faster. To be of some use to Trance! A few days later, a youthful figure, with business-like step, might have been seen on the road leading city-ward. As he rounded the corner, he turned about and gazed long at the small brown cottage in the distance; then he strode resolutely on. In the opposite direction, appeared two more figures; but the boy, intent upon his own thoughts, failed to notice them. If only he didn’t meet his mother—he glanced up, and there, not fifty feet away, came his mother and Pierre. It was too late to escape; they had seen him. v “Hello, called Pierre jocularly. Where are you going? Well, you seem to have grown up over night. What are you doing in Maurice’s clothes?” “Yes, where are you going, Jean? repeated the mother. There was nothing unusual in either of these questions, but Jean jumped perceptibly. His confusion was too obvious to pass un- noticed. His mother and Pierre exchanged glances. See here, she said, “tell me what’s the matter. “Well. floundered Jean miserably, Pierre came over the other day, and said that Maurice had to go to war; and grandmother said she wished it had been me, and she was afraid to tell you, and so I thought maybe you’d all like it if I went instead. And—and then—I should have a chance to serve my country! Tears started up in Marguerite’s eyes, but Pierre’s brows contracted. Does Maurice know?” he demanded. “Yes. “What did he say? “Well, shifting his feet nervously, he has to drive to town, and—and— “And what? “And—O. everything. ended Jean lamely. Yes, Maurice is very busy, these days. I w'onder if he could find time to speak to me a minute. See here, young man. you go on ahead, and we’ll follow. Just listen to me. Marguerite; I say that boy of yours is a hero! ¥ ¥ ¥ It was the first of January—the day the troops were to leave for the front. Dow-n the road came the steady tramp, tramp of many marching feet. Jean, seated at the gate post, and his mother and grandmother, standing behind him, craned their necks, that they might see the better. Finally they came into view, line upon line of soldiers with gleaming bayonets. Jean leaned forward, scanning each line closely as it passed. Pierre, at the head of a detachment, passed, and. to the boy’s delight, saluted. They were nearly past now, and still Jean had not found the object of his search. But there—among the last stragglers, he espied a familiar figure. He shouted and w'aved his arms. It was Maurice, who. without even turning his head, quickened his lagging steps, and disappeared around the corner. Marion Fay. PAGF. SEVENTY-NINE To A® Office The teacher speaks, and I must go.

PACE EIGHTY Cop . nu� Tk_‘i5 %Srafcs mwy ifigy'f© MdiAsrful nswfo PAGE EIGHTY-ONE PAGE EIGHTY-TWO TIa® Climbs One of the fine things about the Madison High School is that it successfully maintains clubs of a wide enough variety to provide at least one subject of interest and activity out of the classroom for everyone in the school. This extensiveness of activity is one of the main reasons for the success of the clubs; but the activity itself, with its results, forms one of the best reasons for the very existence of the societies. The results of activity naturally differ with the organizations. In a literary society one may improve his speaking ability, develop his critical powers, and broaden his knowledge of literature. In a departmental club one may carry the study of a subject farther than is possible in a class-room, and may practice the principles learned in class. In both organizations one may form friendships, develop leadership, and receive practice in official duties. So it is that the clubs now exist and constantly improve. The oldest of them all is the Madison H. S. Literary Society, which was organized in 1894. Then followed the Nautilus, the Forum, and the Philomathia. In the fall of 1912 the departmental clubs were started, with a view toward enlarging the scope of activity of high school societies. I hough the departmental clubs were rather an experiment at first, and though several of them lived only one or two years, the English. French. German, History and Civics, Latin, Nature Study, and Radio Clubs are now thriving with unquestionable success. The standards of eligibility, which are the same as for athletic contests, have done much toward limiting the membership to the real workers. The eligibility of members is determined by the faculty committee, consisting of Mr. Diehl, chairman. Miss Regan, Miss Kleinpell, Miss Vaughan, and Mr. West. They have all helped make the clubs successful, as they have pruned the lists of new members to the tune of quality, not quantity. quality in this case meaning working ability and seriousness of purpose. The literary societies usually limit their membership to thirty-five; the departmental clubs arc almost always unlimited in that respect. The rolls are well filled, for the clubs contain approximately 400 people, about 100 of whom belong to two organizations. That the members are not idle is shown by the bulletin-boards, which announce the programs. If anyone doubts the instructiveness and interest of the programs, the incredulous one need only visit a meeting to have his doubts removed. The organizations went far beyond the scope of activity of programs when they attempted two more pretentious affairs, the literary-clubs party and the annual club banquet. Both of these events were very well attended and enjoyed, and both were pronounced successful. 1 his year the high school literary societies arc as active as they have ever been in the history of the school. The departmental clubs surely have fulfilled every favorable prophecy regarding them. If all these organizations increase and improve as they have lately, they will become a greater and greater factor in the success of the Madison High School. Can we judge the future by the present? Watch the clubs. PAGE EIGHTY-THREE PACE EIGHTY-FOUR Jm' ljSI LftarJ “Well, Mary, I'm glad to get back to Madison. I’m not going away to school next year; but, say, I did miss Club nights. How is the Alphian getting on this year? Oh, fine! Our club has made great progress this year. We have studied artists—Flemish, Dutch, and Spanish. We.were all mightily interested in them and some very fine topics were given. But 'variety is the spice of life.' so we had some other topics and socials. Miss Hanrahan and Miss Wolf have made the programs very interesting as well as beneficial. Did you have any parties? “Parties? I should say so! At Christmas time we had one on Club night.

An annual school report of a few years ago says: l or years the Nautilus Club has held its bi-weekly meetings. The club has flourished greatly and has never found difficulty in securing a quorum or carrying out a program. The success of the club is an indication of the faithfulness on the part of its members.’ That is the standard the Nautilus Kas had to live up to: and if, at any time, the ‘‘social element’’ has almost eclipsed the literary, the Nautilus has still held its position among our foremost organizations. The programs this year have been quite varied: but on the whole, they have tended toward the building of “more stately mansions and the members have gained what they sought,—dignity comradeship, and democracy.

The girls have worked enthusiastically to accomplish the aims of Philo,—the stimulation of scholarship, elevation of character, and the cultivation of friendship. The programs have been unusually interesting. A Wisconsin Series was given, including a program on Indian Mounds, held in Vilas Park; one on Indian Utensils, held in the historical Museum; a Wisconsin Indian play written by the cast; programs on Early Wisconsin; and one on Noted Badgers. We feel that we have been very successful and progressive, and wish to thank Miss Regan and Miss Spence for their help, which has made our progress possible. Mildred Frazier.

Dramatic were most programs for the year that has just passed; some social ones they’ve had besides with, um-m-m, eats at the last. The members have, we must admit, lived up to the Club name, for Onowa and “Wideawake” both mean the very same.

The ideals of the Palmer are similar to those of the other girls' literary societies and our programs have been highly instructive. The special work of the Palmer has been along the line of Colonial Literature; many interesting programs were presented along this line. Miss Tormey and Miss Zeis have taken an active part in the direction of the club work, and their suggestions and plans have been invaluable.

We are happy and contented, however, to be swallowed up by the moonlight. It has ever been our aim to make old M. H. S. so famous and so honored that none of its constituents can outshine the whole. We have not been walled in by a narrow purpose, nor have we been concentrating our gigantic energy on any small thing; but instead, have been winning glory for our high school in every branch of school activity. From time immemorial wc have been placing stars in the dramatic held. Our debaters and our orators have swayed the living mass as if they were its soul. Our athletes have shed loyal blood to place laurel wreaths of honor upon our high school's brow. The All-Society party with its well laid principles was the outcome of serious study of the social problem of the school by “Lit” men. Thus the world may see that the thirty-five boys which fill the “Lit’s” membership do not wrangle entirely on whether the President of the U. S. should have a short or long term; but we also ponder the problems of the school, and unearth plans that link the school and the “Lit” in a never perishing union. Lawrence Lippert.

Under the direction of Mr. Ramsdell, our coach, we have divided the society into five debating teams; and the ambition of each team to make a high percentage has given us excellent training in debating.

Have you heard the strains of Frerc Jacques. their favorite song, pouring out of room 217? The pep and enthusiasm with which they sing that, is not equaled or surpassed in any other branch of the activities of the clubs. The most attractive thing about our meetings is that they are so delightfully informal. Music and games are the usual entertainment, with stories and. once in awhile, a topic or paper for variety. The object of the French Club is to develop proficiency in conversational French. This, fortunately, is accomplished better by everyone talking at once about anything, than it would be by the more formal meetings. So. if you want to see enthusiasm unbounded and a right good time, and if you want to hear regular F rench straight from Paris—accent on the ee’—just come to a meeting of “La Societc Francaise.” First Semester Susan Ramsay Agnes Samuels Lane Ward Donald Dohr Daphne Conover Florence Cosgrove Donald Dohr John Haley John Galvin Elsie Gardner OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer MEMBERS Clara Machlis Eighmy-bell Osborne Susan Ramsay Agnes Samuels Louise Steensland Ruth Stromme Second Semester Ruth Stromme Donald Dohr Daphne Conover Clara Machlis Winfield Thompson Marian Tormey Vivian Vale Ethel Vinje Lane Ward Vira Winchell PACE NINETY-NINE PAGE ONE HUNDRED Radio I he latest member of the happy club family is the Radio Club. Our membership is composed of wireless enthusiasts of the school, who have formed this club for the purpose of obtaining a broader knowledge of the science of radio communication. With such an interesting subject as a foundation, it has never become necessary for us to “scout ' for new members, or provide “eats as a means of attraction. Our programs have been intensely interesting, many of them being wholly devoted to experiments. Our success is due in no small portion to the efforts of our “helper.” Mr. Riner. As a climax to our already successful year, we presented an auditorium program, giving a practical demonstration of the various uses to which wireless telegraphy may be applied.

It is the living proof that Freshmen aren t so green as they are some times thought to be; else we couldn’t run such a splendid organization. The purpose of the club is to give first-year students an opportunity for work in elementary science. Under the able direction of Miss Edna Weber, we have had some very instructive programs. They have included such topics as The Value of Our Birds, Butterflies, and ' The Experiments of Luther Burbank. We have also had some extremely interesting outdoor research work. 1 he club has increased greatly in membership since the beginning of the year; and the superior upper classmen must recognize that this is once when the poor green Freshmen have done nobly.” President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer OFFICERS James Brader Donald Marvin Andrea Kiland Marion Hausman Arthur Aylward Bartlett Bates Helen Blied James Brader Otto Braun Charles Carroll Vincent Condon Edward Cox Bing Crapser Frances Crowley Raymond Downie John Falming MEMBERS Lucile Gilbert Marion Haussman Laura Heim Gilbert Hoffman Gladys Hoskins Andrea Kiland Elmer Kruse Norman Lunde Ellsworth Mahoney Donald Marvin Bernhard Mautz Gladys Powell Florence Rasmussen Helen Rasmussen John Reinking Thomas Reynolds Joseph Sexton Thomas Smith Robert Stadelmann Helen Steinle Phillip Trainor Walter Van Keulen Lorelle Wolf PACE ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE PAGE ONE HUNDRED AND SIX We are no longer an experiment.

Conclusion. The History and Civics Club is one of the most successful of the leading institutions.” The proof of the above fact is perhaps unnecessary, for every member and meeting demonstrates it. Our name connotes the kind of programs we have; and we have yet to have a program that failed to serve the double purpose of being both interesting and instructive.

Let us not call it banquet—we would not criticize unfavorably anything about that supper, least of all as unessential a detail as food: but suffice it to say that they were wise who ate before they came. Evidently the motto of the committee was that of Wordsworth, “plain living and high thinking. The “high thinking” was surely there in the way of clever, interesting toasts. Adaline Briggs’s rhymed toast received the applause it merited and made a decided “hit.” George Crownhart’s toast on “Our Clubs completely put one over on us in its dry (?) subject, and he pleased the girls with his delicate compliments. It may not be high thinking to see and enjoy hugely such lantern slides as those of Mr. West in his first trousers. Miss Moseley s first birthday, and Laura Johnson after graduating from ward school: but we were highly entertained by them, thanks to Arthur Wilcox’s talk on Our Faculty. Helen Smith made a Toastmistress worthy of the occasion. Mr. Jones’ little talk was eminently worth while, and Mr. Barnes’ talk on Play the Game was fine. Notice the decorations you can see in the picture? Pretty, weren't they, and appropriate to the occasion? See that long empty table down in front? The people who were to have occupied that table were there only in thoughts, but found that the same admission was charged for their thoughts. much to their dismay. An occasion so attractive and successful is worthy of its place as the “star attraction of the social life of the school. Auaditorramra Programs hollowing the precedent of previous years, the Juniors and Seniors, and Freshmen and Sophomores have gone to the auditorium twice a week for entertainment extremely varied. Establishing a new precedent, we have had concert singing once a week under the direction of Miss Menaul. Members of the various classes and departments furnished the other programs, with the exception of our general assemblies when the whole school was called together to have the privilege of hearing some noted visitor: and we have been fortunate in hearing many. Wednesday noon musical programs have been given, at which attendance was optional, and have always been a great attraction. The auditorium programs, taken as a whole, tend to develop greatly our school spirit of which we are so proud.

In times past the events of this nature have resulted in heavy bills tor the parent or in pangs of jealousy on the part of some one who could not afford to attend the affairs. Now it is the aim of our principal to have every one take part in the simple social life, and enjoy it. Since many of our fellow-classmen do not dance, the popular mixer has been instituted and the Junior and Senior Informals have been swallowed up by the onset of the mixer. Instead of dancing, such attractive amusements have been offered in the way of games, plays, and charades, followed by refreshments, that even the worst dance fiend has enjoyed himself. Thus they are far more amusing, interesting, and democratic. Very popular, too. arc the rnatinec dances which have been revived by Mr. Barnes. To add to the interest the new dances have been permitted and the floor of the gymnasium is always crowded. I hese dances, which have been held every two weeks, are popular because they are short and lively. One great event of the year, held on February the twentieth, was the All-Club Banquet. As the years roll on, this annual event becomes a greater success, and now it is a firmly established custom. A unique social event was the dance which in January was given by Philo and Nautilus for the new literary clubs. A notable event of the season was the literary club mixer-dance. At this dance, which occurred in March, all the literary clubs of the school were represented. It was such a success and every one had such a good time that we all hope it will be repeated next year. Yet for the Seniors, the Senior banquet and the commencement party will be the climax. May the spirit of democracy and informality enter into these affairs in as great a degree as in other events of the high school season! PAGE. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVEN Julia Outhouse. M. 11. S. Debating Team PAGE ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHT Delb ftnimg With all of our veteran debaters gone, Madison's prospects in the line of debating looked gloomy. But by the hard work of Mr. Ramsdcll. our energetic coacn, the raw material was developed into better debating teams than even the enthusiasts had hoped lor. The debating season opened when we accepted a challenge for a preliminary debate with La Grange. III. Madison upheld the affirmative of the question: Resolved, that compulsory arbitration of labor disagreements should be adopted. The Madison team, consisting of Percy Baldwin, Theodore Schultz, and Howard King, met the La Grange team at La Grange on December 4. In spile of a good strong fight the Madison team was defeated, with a decision of two to one. The arguments put up by our team, however, were so strong that the Illinois Industrial Commission has filed them in its library. Madison next prepared for a hard fight in the Beloit Debating League. The question for debate was: Resolved, that the Parcel Post should be extended to include the entire express business. The Madison teams were composed of Percy Baldwin, William Gurney, and Howard King, upholding the affirmative; and Bernardo Elsom, James Hayden, and Theodore Scholtz. upholding the negative. Each team had one debate, instead of the two as held last year, and all of the debates of the league were held the same evening, February 26. Our negative rnet the Janesville affirmative at Janesville and put up a strong debate. In spite of a splendid fight Madison lost. Our affirmative team, however, fared better. They debated the Beloit negative at Madison. The High School Orchestra and over two hundred rooters turned out to support the team. After a lively and exciting contest, the judges awarded a unanimous decision to Madison. I he returns from other schools showed that they had suffered the same fate, all negatives having lost. But the Janesville negative lost to Beloit affirmative with a decision of two to one; therefore the championship was granted to Janesville. I o cap the season, our Junior team. Lane Ward, Ben Gurney, and Hasbrook Van Vleck, taking the affirmative on the short ballot question, defeated the Baraboo High School by a two to one decision. T his debate was held on April 8th at Baraboo. PAGE ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE Hoinioir Roll m Scholarship Average Names for 4 years Kiekhocfer, Erna....................... 95.9% Smith.

That was a class baseball game. Those players were struggling for their classes—perhaps for yours—for their numerals, and to keep M. H. S. baseball from being obliterated from our athletics. If they were fighting for your class you probably stopped a moment to shout, At’s a boy!” at one of the fellows and then strolled on. You may not have realized the work these class teams were undertaking. I hat is why their battles are unheard of and unsung. Yet among those players some embryo Ty Cobb may have pounded the ball, some future Walsh. Baker, or Bender may have exhibited his youthful skill. Nor were their games mean ones. The best that each class had were in the struggle, for there was no regular team to take away the stars. Our class teams are of equal rank with most of the regular teams of the state. The games they played were baseball from the start to the finish. At the very outset the black-horse Sophomore team took the breath away from the high school by winning its first four games. Then the Juniors brought them to a stop by a I to 0 score. The Seniors, feeling it their duty not to be left in the mire, pulled themselves out of the mud by defeating the Sophomores 4 to 5. But the Sophomores held on to their lead with a bulldog grip. Though the Seniors and Juniors pressed them to their utmost power, they captured the championship with the Juniors a close second and the Seniors in third place. The deciding of the championship did not end the season, however. The famous Faculty-Senior game still remained. I may truthfully say that that was a most wonderful game. Even Miss Regan and Miss Sell leaped and screamed in glee. And who would not when he saw the renowned Herr Diehl pull down the flics in center field and work his famed double plays? I would like to see the student or teacher who could see Mr. Tetcr “clout that pill with emphasis” and not give a true war-whoop. They are ail old men at the game—Winters. Graven, Staley, and all the rest that hand out “cons” and other less familiar markes for decisions. But they fell as Rome and Athens fell. The Seniors defeated them by a score which was too large to remember. Ah! Sweet Revenge! With this game the athletics of Madison High School fell into a deep sleep; dreams of past victories and future glories sweetening that long three-months slumber. Lawrence Lippert, 15. PAGE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE 1913 Class Tf.am Rooters PACE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR When that Aprille with his shoures sote The drought of March has pcrced to the rote, twenty shivering scantily-clad youths stretched their sinewy legs over old Brittingham’s gravel walks. Many a weary mile they plugged through that chilly April wind as they sweated and toiled at tedious practice. As the weather grew warmer and the sun lingered on the horizon, their work became stiffer. Often when the sun had disappeared and the hungry populace were seated at supper, the wild songs of our track men as they took their daily shower rocked the old Brittingham bath house. So these men took the daily grind of starting, sprinting, jumping, heaving the shot, and plugging over weary miles of graveled paths. And as time fled by, each muscle and each nerve was brought under perfect control for the great Interscholastic Meet. On the 20th of May the mettle of our track team was put to the test. Out of the twenty men who had practiced day after day, six were entered in the Interscholastic to compete with hundreds of athletes from high schools throughout the state. Teams from Milwaukee, La Crosse. Oshkosh. and even Superior contended there. With six sturdy Madisonians we managed to capture 1 1 points, in the jumps thus winning fourth place and the title of the kangaroo track team.” And PAGE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE the name does us no more than justice; for our two high jumpers tied for first place at 5 ft. 8 in., and our running broad jumper took second by flying 20 ft. 1 I in. Both marks are very close to the Interscholastic records and arc records for the Madison High School. After one more week of weary training, a team of five men journeyed to Ripon College. In a drizzly rain they showed that we could do other things besides jump, for we captured a third in the 100 and 220 yard dashes as well as once more taking the jumps. Again fourth place fell to our lot. although we totaled a score of 15 points. That evening Ripon College gave a dance for the teams. Togged out to kill, our veteran high jumper and our 220 yard dasher ambled up to the hall. The remaining three caroused from movie to movie until their last jitney had flown. When our two gallants arrived at their destination, they were horrified to discover that there was only one girl not engaged for the evening. After pondering long and deeply on the problem, they tossed their lone penny into the air. As it fell our high jumper shouted “Heads!” and heads it was. Out of kindness of heart he shared his fair lady with his boon companion, and both heroes spent the evening in perfect happiness. K The meet at Ripon was the last of the season. No one can say that our team was not a successful one. To take fourth place at two of the largest and fastest meets of the state is not an honor to be scoffed at. Teams from all parts of Wisconsin were fighting hard to gain positions on the ladder even lower than fourth. With foot planted securely on that round, we are waiting patiently for 1915 Intcrscholastic Meet so that we may climb to the very top. Lawrence Lippert, T5.

Football Team 1914 Between the hanging clouds of gloom and disappointment.—the sunshine of hope! In the face of disaster and utter defeat.—victory! And above all, before apparently unconquerable difficulties,—success! Thus in letters of gold should be written the history of such an illustrious team as represented the orange and black during the season of 1914. 1 he first day of school witnessed the initial work-out of a rather rugged gridiron season for Madison High. At first prospects were encouraging. After the end of the first two weeks’ practice. the the large squad of aspirants, under the direction of the new coach. Mr. Crispin, began to look like a championship aggregation. But just as things were taking on a rosy aspect, a dark mist suddenly shadowed the rising prospects for a strong eleven. We lost our coach through illness, and also a number of likely candidates through injuries and ineligibility. The squad, now composed of barely two elevens, worked hard, despite the disadvantages, in preparation for our first game, which took place at Richland Center. Taking into consideration the fact that the Richland Center game was the first interscholastic contest that most of the members of our team had participated in. the team played together as well as could be expected. Although we were defeated. 6 to 0. it was only through the ability of their star drop kicker. The following week was spent in patching up the weaknesses of the team. '‘Al ' 1 ormey took the coaching job. and whipped the team into form for the Beloit game, which came October 23. When the heavy Beloit team marched out on the field at Camp Randall that eventful afternoon, it looked as if Madison would be on the small end of the score. Nevertheless, with the desire to make good” for our defeat at Richland Center, and with such loyal spirit shown that day, we could hardly help carrying off the bacon. Every man on the team fought like a “demon, and Willard’s star open-field work piled up a score of 25 to 0 against Red’s gang. On the following Friday we journeyed to Oshkosh, where we hung out” at the Tremont. The team bunked on the third floor, but the proprietor remarked the next day that he wished he had put us in the cellar. Toward the break of the day the Klu Klux Klan, composed of the “vets of the squad, started “making the rounds. Pillows and tumblers of water were exchanged freely between the Klan and the supposed slumberers. That w-as sure one wonderful night.” The fellows took on a more serious attitude, however, the next day. We knew’ that Oshkosh had a strong team, and we expected a hard fight. Our expectations were certainly fulfilled for the game was close and fast from start to finish. A lucky drop kick was all that won for the northerners. The next tw-o games we played at home. The first with Tomah was rather zig zaggy, but ended in a Madison victory. 23 to 14. At times the fleet little Tomah backfield would tear away for good gains; but Madison’s open style of play, especially the forward pass, was too much for the PAGE ONF. HUNDRED AND THIRTY-NINE Indians. Next came the hardest game of the season. La Crosse had not yet been defeated, and came down here confident of victory. We all felt the importance of this game and were eagerly awaiting the kick off. The whole school seemed stirred with football spirit. On Friday, the thirteenth, all the members of the team filed up on the platform of the auditorium, and in turn told how we were to win from La Crosse. But—THE NEXT DAY IT RAINED! La Crosse had a bunch of veterans, a team of stars. The Madison team on the other hand was light and inexperienced. There is no necessity of bringing tears to the eyes of the loyal backers of the team. It is enough to say that we were defeated. We lost our chance to top off the season with a victory, when Racine cancelled their game. Comparing scores, we would have had little trouble beating them. But this was only one of the many instances where our luck stood against us. Thus ended the history of a season, which, although marred by trying disadvantages and streaks of hard luck, was generally considered successful. Slowly the curtain lowered. Old Brittingham Park. George, Burke, and ten times around in the dark, were things of the past. We now anticipate the rising of that curtain; but—let us hope that next fall our efforts will result in more extended achievements in a winning way, soda speak! W. Meltzer. 17.

At last, when her voice stole softly and sweetly through the halls and into the classrooms, brawny pupils threw their histories. Baldwins, and geometries into the corner, and followed her blindly. To the Brittingham bathhouse her entrancing voice lured them. 1 here, with a touch of her magic wand, she changed those innocent, peace-loving pupils into noble warriors clad in headgears, corked shoes, padded jerseys, and wrinkled trousers; changed them to football players who feared no fracture of the bony structure of the nose or the loss of life’s blood. For days these warriors struggled in the “gue and slime of Brittingham’s muddy fields. For days they practiced tackling, blocking, and falling on the ball. Timid Freshmen left the earth for the first time to fall on the pigskin and come up inwardly pleased with themselves and confident that no regular could have performed the feat more gracefully. Thus time went on and fat came off until each team was a picture of perfection, and each player, feeling his own strength, grinned and waited impatiently for the coming games. And the games that came, oh! what games they were! There was football to cheer the heart of Pat O’Dea and the rest of the veterans of the good old days.” Freshmen met Sophomores and scarred the surface of Brittingham’s fields with their mighty battles. 1 wice the youthful Freshmen pushed the ball across the goal line of their ancient enemies, making two touchdowns and holding the Sophs scoreless. Juniors met Seniors as Greek met Greek, and fought and bled to defeat their superiors in knowledge, 6 to 0. And so the story of the games goes on like an account of great battles in the world's history. At the end of the mighty struggle, when the weak had been eliminated, the Seniors stood ready to face their mighty rivals, the Juniors, for the second time, and by the aid of their all powerful men trample the Juniors into Brittingham's gue so deep that they would lose sight of the world forever. But. alas, that struggle was not to be. Aged Winter came down from the North and froze the ground so solid that it would have been too dangerous to have allowed those two teams to meet in immortal battle. The siren's charm was broken, and the players went back to their books that had lain in the corner, leaving the Juniors the disputed champions. While these warriors had been struggling into the light of glory for the honor of their classes, all eyes were watching the regular team. Few people heard of their heroic battles. Fewer still realized that among such unknown heroes as these, were once the famous Fuller and Sweet. The class teams made these men. I hey are still producing stars. On their shoulders lies the burden of preparing men to defend the honor of glorious old M. H. S. Come on. fellow's, let’s give the locomotive for the class team. Lawrence Lippert. ’15.

S. Basketball Team 1915 l or various reasons, a satisfactory review or the 1914-15 basketball season is very difficult. In the first place, we won only four out of ten games played. But there are many things other than victories to be considered in a successful season. There is not a team nor a school on the schedule which will not vouch for the manly way in which our boys conducted themselves, both on and off the floor. I he clean style of play taught by Coach Crispin won us many friends and supporters wherever we went. Financially the season was more successful than hitherto. This fact is due to the loyalty of our school. With but one regular from last year’s team with which to start, the prospects for a championship team were rather dim. but Mr. Crispin demonstrated his ability by building up a more than fair five out of comparatively new material. There was not a team on our schedule, with the exception of Fond du 1 .ac, which did not have to extend itself to win. Watch Mr. Crispin’s 1915-16 five closely! Baraboo, usually a weak team, was the first five to dim any thousand per cent hopes that anyone may have fostered. As is often the case with a small town, Baraboo develops a good quintet about every five years; and this was the fifth year. To put a green team against such an aggregation for an opener proved too great a stumbling block, and we lost heavily. 38-19. Although somewhat disheartened by a defeat at the hands of a veteran bunch, the boys journeyed hopefully to that little village which caused us considerable humiliation last fall, namely. Richland Center. Here again a seasoned team overcame the inexperience of our boys who showed only flashes of their real ability. The score, 30-29. clearly pictures the desperate fight we put up in trying to overcome great odds. Please do not be disheartened, but wait for the report of the second game with the villagers. Stimulated by the moral conviction that they had outplayed Richland Center, the team worked hard in preparation for Edgerton’s basket throwers who were touted as being a strong aggregation. The hard work was rewarded by our first victory of the season, by the decisive score of 33-20. At this period, when the five was beginning to work together, gloom, in the form of semester marks, settled over the team. The combination which Mr. Crispin had whipped together was broken up by the center being conned out. In spite of this, the boys, strengthened by confidence gained by their first victory, administered a severe drubbing to the sturdy Waukesha representatives on our own floor. This victory was followed by another in which the whole school joined heartily; for our opponents, Richland Center, seemed to be under the impression that we were no match for them in the athletic line. The score, 37-20, speaks eloquently of the sweetness of our revenge. PAGE ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE Here again the really sad tale must be retold, l-a Crosse, our best rivals, fought their way to a 34-20 victory. The River City bunch was composed of what seemed to our midgets veritable giants moving with the speed of lightning. But in spite of their size and speed, our quintet displayed the real Madison fighting spirit to the end and lost gamely. Tomah, a new addition to our schedule and credited with a victory over L a Crosse, was the next team to lower our percentage. If any of our sympathizers have ever played blind man’s buff, they can readily understand the difficulties we encountered in the Tomah armory. The lights (they actually had the audacity to inform us there were such things) were about on a par with the gloomiest night that I ever saw. This minor difficulty, combined with the assistance of all the squaws and bucks of the Indian reservation, was enough to defeat us 34-9. Wait patiently for the account of our revenge. One of the joys of a basketball season is the La Crosse trip. Here, in spite of another defeat, we met with a delightful reception, followed by a dance. The sting of a defeat can be lessened considerably by just such pleasant relations as exist between La Crosse and Madison. The game itself was even harder fought than the home battle, but the lead which our opponents piled up in the first half was too great to overcome. Little can be said for the Fond du Lac game, as this five, which later easily captured the State title, clearly outplayed us in every department of the game. The speed and the accuracy that they displayed simply dazzled the rooters as well as the players. Considering the score, 37—22. we may well congratulate ourselves on holding the State Champions to such an even game. Did you ever notice how bright a single star appears on a gloomy night? The last game on our schedule. Tomah, is just like such a star. If we did not have the scores of the preceding games to trouble us, I am certain that every person who witnessed that contest would forgive and forget our previous defeats. Our boys, still smarting from the treatment accorded them at Tomah, staged as scrappy and as speedy a game as ever did any team representing the Yellow and Black. The old fighting spirit which had Iain dormant for so long simply would not be denied, and before the final whistle blew we had piled up a 31-18 score. Taking the season as a w'hole. I do not think it was as disastrous as some would make it. Remember that Coach Crispin has laid a solid foundation for next year, and that the boys lived up to the standard set for them in everything except the scores, which, in truth, are the least important.

HUNDRED AND FORTY-SEVEN Freshman Class Basketball I eam Sophomore Class Basketball Team PAGE ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-EIGHT Everyone likes to see a long hard-fought struggle and that it why the entire school was interested in the inter-class schedule this year. At some games the crowd was as large as that at regular games and the excitement was even more intense. From out of the West came an almost perfect team and tried to wrest the fair championship away. The new-comer added spice to the struggle even though it did go home without the beautiful prize it sought. The season started with a series of close breathless games. The Sophomores defeated the Freshmen by only a point or two and the Seniors managed to nose out a victory from the Juniors by one lone point. The first two games were typical of the entire series. Never was one team confident of securing the championship. After the first couple of games, Randall Junior High team made its debut. Both Frosh and Soph teams walked up the hill like the king of France; and like the same king, they walked back down. Randall High seemed invincible. Some people began to call them champions even this early in the season. But their fond dreams were crushed for the moment by a 31 to 10 defeat at the gentle hands of the Seniors. Then, wonder upon wonder! The situation became still more entangled. The modest Freshmen forgot themselves for a moment and became so bold as to beat their superior classmen, the Seniors. 23 to 19. All hopes for the Seniors capturing the booty vanished like the mist before the rays of the sun. Yes. and Randall also fell deep into degradation by being beaten by the Juniors. Both Seniors and Randall tightened their belts a couple of notches and began to play basketball in earnest. Underclass teams scattered like frightened mice before the determined faces of the Senior five. No sooner had they managed to stop the fluttering of their throbbing hearts than they were dispersed once more by the hideous visage of the Randall team. And in the end these two ferocious teams met in a championship struggle. For the curtain-raiser to the Tomah game, Randall and the Seniors gave an exhibition of inter-class basketball which has never been surpassed. The fast, well-balanced Junior High team took the lead at the very outset. The Seniors were loo anxious, too eager to obtain that counting basket to play their usual style of team work. The first half ended with Randall in the lead. 14 to 8. The second half opened with a rush of close, hard fought basketball. But the Seniors had risen in all their terrible power; like a gigantic avalanche they began to creep upon their opponents. One point, two points, until the score was 19 to 18 with only one minute to play. They strained! They fought! The ball shot upward in a graceful arch and fell into Randall's basket. The whistle blew and the Seniors had won their second basketball championship. With that game the season ended, the most exciting that the inter-class teams have ever played. When we stop for a moment to recall that season, we cease to worry about the kind of a regular team that Madison will have next year. Ijvwrence Lippert. ’15. PAGE ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-NINE Junior Class Basketball Team Senior Class Basketball Team PAGE ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY Early in February the first call for basketball material was issued and in response three hundred girls made an appearance. The Seniors were very few, but what they had was good material; the Juniors failed to turn out; the Sophomores were chock-full of pep; but none of these classes could practice, for the floor was green with Freshmen. After many weeks spent in practice, the teams were picked. The Senior players were light but much experienced. The Sophomores showed up in great style. What the Juniors could do was unknown, and the Freshman caused little worry. The greatest mystery, however, was the strength of the Junior High Freshmen. On February fifteenth (oh. how the Seniors moaned and gnashed their teeth), the Sophomores vanquished the 1915 girls by a I 4 to II victory, and the Juniors loomed up in gigantic proportions when they defeated the Frosh. The following Friday, the Seniors took a rest, but the Sophomores continued on their successful trip by adding the unfortunate Freshmen to their string of scalps; the Randall girls were no match for the Juniors, but forgot gamely, and pocketed a great amount of basketball knowledge. March the twelfth dawned and the Seniors appeared ready for what later proved to be a close call. The Randall girls came upon the floor a changed team and so surprised the ’15 girls that the game was barely won by the Seniors. Perhaps the greatest interest was centered in the Junior-Sophomore game, but Dame Fortune beamed upon the 1917 bunch and they won once more. On the seventeenth Miss Baus took the hopeful Freshmen out to Randall only to meet a much superior team under the Randall colors. The victory brought new life to the Randall team and preparations for other games were lively. This far the Sophomores seemed to stand planted in first place; no power could budge them. The Juniors and Seniors were in second, and the Freshmen and Randall were having a hot discussion in regard to the position at the end of the line. On the twenty-second the Seniors made the second position theirs with a victory over the Juniors, and the Freshmen won their game from Randall only by hard, constant playing and the advantage of the home floor. This tied them for last place. The basketball season this year was a most magnificent one. Not only were the games most intense and hard-fought, but on the 20th of April the players were given their much-longed-for numerals. It has been years since the girls were given this honor and the whole school is glad to see the custom reinstated. For the strenuous work which these girls do for their separate classes they deserve more than to simply be known by their girl school-mates. Margaret Bodenstein. ’15.

The prosecutors brought suit against Editor George Crownhart for publishing the statement that Lip-perl and Hanson had fussed the two ladies In the case to a free basketball game at the Randall School. The shock and disgrace of the afTalr was so great that both young ladies were confined to their rooms for a week. Measures were at once taken to secure compensation for the ruin of the reputations of the young people concerned and the health of the two ladles. When the suit was brought to court the defense based their case upon the words of two witnesses, Vernon Stelnle and the newspaper reporter, John Foley. These two persons both declared that they had followed the four young people to the game and that neither Hanson nor Lippert paid as much as a penny to get In. Moreover, they claimed that the two couples stole In at the rear entrance of the gym. It was an outrageous lie. The testimony of Red McCaffery showed that at the end of the first half both Hanson and Lippert willingly paid the price of admission, 10 cents, when tho ticket collector asked them for the sum.

Fellow students, there is a most obnoxious evil In our midst that must be eradicated, an evil which is daily destroying our freshmen and even upper classmen. both physically and morally. Those never-end in ir, lung-tear-Ing, shoe-leather-wearln stairs must be done away with. Every year In September more than three hundred Innocent freshmen, the dowers of Madison, are lead Into this labyrinth of classrooms to be fed to the Minotaur. They are stored away on the third tloor of the building where to the eyes of the faculty they are seemingly out of trouble. Hut we, who have been there; we, who have ourselves been freshmen In this high school, know that that very storing away for safety on the third floor has caused us to become physical and perhaps moral wrecks. Instead of going to our hlKh altltuded store room we lingered on the first floor to mix with our superiors and learn their habits and customs. When the twenty-live minute bell ram? we would have but five short minutes to climb those six unearthly long flight of stairs and but one pair of shoes to wear on the way. With the speed that w'ould make a mountain climber sink to the earth fatigued, we would rush upward, three steps at a time, only to arrive a minute late and have no better excuse than that clocks must run faster at high altitudes than at lower. Thus the first prevarication Is practiced. Thus the innocent freshman is started on his downward career. Soon he is bumming school, staying out until nine o’clock, and saying Oh, Golly J Gee Whizz ' and other ungen-tlemanly and undignified remarks. At the time his moral character is being ruined, he is developing an enlarged heart, ruined lungs and muscle-bound limb9. Thus, true to philosophy, moral and physical wreckage go . hand in hand.

The two retreated until ' they had once more arranged the I battle fronts and then rushed amongst the dazed, defenceless j students, deafening their ears j and blinding their eyes. In ai most hideous riot the students i dashed to their session rooms for i i safety. Hut the petitions which had : reached Mr. Barnes soon took effect. Like a shepherd Inspired with tho thought that he must protect his helpless flock, the courageous principal clad himself in an asbestos suit and green glasses. Then placing cotton In his ears he attacked the obnoxious pair. By the aid of the state militia, the police force, and fire department the two were at last driven from the building. It was a most ghastly and blood-freezing combat Mr. Barnes deserves the most grateful thunks of the pupils of this school and their parents for his heroic work. The Yearly Yawn at once sent Its best reporters to Investigate the affair. It was discovered that Hones Bison had succeeded In getting a corner In green glasses. With his accomplice. Minor, he planned to Inflict such torture upon the eyes of the students of our noble Institute that they would all be forced to purchase dark glasses. With the profits the heartless plotters Intended to visit the Panama Exposition. COURT PROCEEDINGS By “Geo.” The Supreme Court opened proceedings this morning at 23 and 14 seconds after 8:30. Justices l� . l ohr, G. Crump, and L. Pomeroy took their positions with Impressive dignity. The sessions were declared open in the UMual manner by Clerk Haley. The first case was that of the Students of the Madison High School vs. John Foley. Mr. Olson In representing the plaintiffs in a stirring speech said thul the defend-ent was in the habit of wearing socks of unharmonlous and. in fact, riotous color designs. And, furthermore, since the defendant had refused to provide green glasses for the students, they had appealed to this high tribunal to grant them an injunction against the wearing of tho aforesaid socks. Mr. Foley was then put on the stand. Through cross-ox-amtnntion It was proved that Mr. Foley had received the socks ns a Christmas present. Mr. Olson Immediately asked who the lady was, but the question was ruled out. The Justices finally decided that Mr. Foley should not wear tiie aforesaid articles of wearing apparel, and as a precedent for this decision they referred to th -Miner and Elsom case in which they said the facts were the same with the exception that In that case it was ties of immodest hues. In giving this decision Justice Dohr gave a long speech which was well received by all. The Court then ajourned for dinner. The Frosh rush Is where Seniors fenr to tread.
