Foreword == -----— Through the long years which lie before us may this Tychoberahn always be a symbol of the friendships made during the happy days of our high school life. i9 � � xusj % jrt.

When all else has been blotted out by the swift passage of the years, our friendships will survive, growing dearer and brighter as the years roll on. Therefore, while yet we may, let us builc our friendships; let us have a word of friendly greeting for each of thos« about us. So it is to the Spirit of Friendship that we, the Class of 1924 dedicate this, our Tychoberahn. 3 a© • lYCnOBCPPiRTL • H4- 4 a© • lYCnOBCBJRUn - 24- THOMAS W.

At the moment of John’s entrance the masqueraders were forming for a grand march. He felt an inexplicable thrill as he stepped towards a group of laughing people gathered around someone who was causing a great deal of hilarity. He had not wanted to come to the Christmas Masquerade, as this party was called. As a general rule, John did not care for such parties; they bored him. However, the co-operation of both teachers and pupils had been asked to make this party a success; and he would do his bit although he rather doubted that a school masquerade could be made interesting enough for him. Being a fastidious person, he had taken great pains in selecting his costume. His choice had been a scarlet suit designed to represent a royal page. A strange feeling of excitement pervaded his being. As he drew near the merry group, a black friar noticed him and took him into the circle. Not a few turned to watch, for he looked very handsome in his costume. He was tall and slim, with light brown hair and blue eyes. Ordinarily a pallor detracted from his looks, but tonight with the help of the red suit and his unnatural excitement his cheeks were flushed and his eyes bright. One or two, recognizing him, chaffed him about his frivolity in coming to the party. At the sight of a little, dancing, mischievous girl in the center of the group his eyes became still brighter and his heart palpitated and turned a somersault. She was dressed in palest green chiffon, with a wreath of flowers circling her short dark hair. As her eyes lighted on him, she stood poised a moment on tip-toe; then with a little skip she was at his side and was leading him off to the line that was forming for the grand march. For the rest of the evening, the sober, self-confident John was no more. In his place was a gay but bewildered page in scarlet, doing the bidding of an elfin-like Titania. At ten thirty, the moment for unmasking came. A momentary thrill— a premonition came to John, and a moment later he was staring into the amused face of his math teacher. “Well, John, don’t look so surprised! You’ve seen me before,” she laughed. “Well—but—I—Miss Hill! I never dreamed you were a teacher!” “Oh, I knew that, but when you came in you looked so dubious that I thought I’d have some fun!” Most of this was heard by a highly amused audience. John’s face was an expression of many different emotions as he fled precipitately from the gym. Some say that it was the amusement of the spectators which he could not bear. Others hint that the thought of his fascination being so far removed from him, was more than his weak heart could stand at that time. At any rate, John alone knows. 55 Eleanor Prideaux ’24 i© • lYCnOBCKRm • m- THE FALL OF OSCO Through the dense brushes of the jungle, across the spaces covered and between the vine-covered trunks of huge, towering trees, Osco made his way. He went very slowly, partly because he was only a boy with a stone weapon, and it seemed to him that he should have reached the river bank already. He was afraid he had taken the wrong direction. Something rustled in the tall grass. He stopped and flattened himself on the limb of a tree. A snakelike head on a long twisting neck rose up several feet away. Osco did not move until the animal had gone on through the jungle, swinging from tree to tree. The jungle began to be less and less dense. The river must be very near. Osco pushed on faster. Suddenly, he heard heavy breathing behind him. The big animal he had seen before had circled around, was just back of him. Osco glanced at the little, darting eyes in the big head, and then made a dash for the river. Up a tree on the river bank he went, just in time. Once safe, he crept carefully out on a big branch. From this he could swing to another tree on the opposite bank. Out to the very end he crept, then leaped toward a handy limb. For the first time in his life he missed. He saw the dark water below him, full of horrid reptiles and huge, poisonous snakes. Down he went......................down............... down...................down. He screamed! “Landsakes,” said Miss Schuldt. “Leo Finnerty’s been asleep and has fallen out of his seat again.” 56 Esther Christenson, '24 is • TYCHOBCBMin • 2.4- MYSTERY OR LUCK It was a dark, stormy night. A weird, moaning wind shared with the pattering rain to make the gloom and loneliness more distinct. I was alone in the huge country house of the Sylvesters, a couple recently married. To relate from the beginning, Edith Sylvester and I had been childhood pals, sharing troubles and joys as good pals will. Then her marriage after years of close friendship separated us. Yet, we still wrote, visited,and in time of need called upon one another. In her letter that I had received the day before, she had begged me to come to pay her a visit and at the same time aid in the preparation for a house-party she was planning over the week-end. The letter brought me willingly to her aid the following morning. All day long, the servants, the mistress of the house, and I had bustled about in our hurry to prepare for the coming guests. In appreciation of the unusual amount of work the servants had done during the day, Edith had given them the night off, of which privilege they took advantage. She herself had left a short while ago for the city to dine with her husband at eight o’clock; but she had left alone, for in spite of her entreaties to accompany her, a slight headache and weariness kept me from going. I thought it would be a relief to have the large library to myself in the old house I had grown to love during the short time I had been in it. It was a house known throughout the country-side for its quaint beauty and respected for its age. Through the ignorance of the country people, it had come to be regarded with somewhat of a superstitious awe. Spirits, they said, and mysterious, uncanny lights haunted its many rooms on dark nights. I laughed as the memory of these stories came to me, laughed because so lovely, so comfortable, so peaceful a home could boast of such supernatural beings. But, after all, the laughing of the wind through the gables and the wet swish of the leaves against the panes almost made me wish I had gone with Edith. A sense of loneliness and tenseness crept over me. Being alone at night in a roomy library whose corners contained murky shadows which the dim lights could not reach, was not as pleasant as I had anticipated. I settled myself in one of the huge chairs before the fire with a book of Shelley upon my knee. The wind blew madly about the house giving promise of a long storm. A shutter torn loose by the wind creaked and groaned out echoes that sounded dismal and unearthly to my strained ears. Queer how one strains every sense and jumps at every sound when alone at night in a strange house! A clock somew'here in another part of the house struck the hour of eleven, startling me by its sudden gong. The fire on the hearth was beginning to die down, but somehow I couldn’t persuade myself to get up from my chair; a premonition of evil had come over me while an invisible force seemed to be holding me there. I shivered more from the tension I was being held in than from the cold. My eyes deserted Shelley and now nervously sought the shadows and attempted to probe their uncanny darkness and gloom. A lull of the wind caused a sudden silence to come over the house, so 57 i© • lYcnoBCRRnn • s - deserted except for my own nervous self. Every muscle taut, every nerve strained, every sense alert, I sat breathing quickly, for to my strained ears had come the sound of muffled footsteps creeping slowly, carefully, along the dark corridor leading to the library. Again the wind rose in violence and scattered the fast falling raindrops against the panes, but not before I, overcome with a growing terror, had heard labored breathing, stifled gasps accompanying the footsteps. The premonition again overwhelmed me as the whistling wind grew louder. Waiting, my breath beginning to come with great difficulty, I clutched, in my dread of the unknown, the arms of the chair. Suddenly the wind quieted as if it too were watching, waiting, and listening. Although my back faced the only entrance to the library, which was the hand carved door, the pride of the house, I watched with agony its reflection in the mirror. As if no danger threatened, my eyes wandered over the beautiful door, noticing the delicate tracery of its panels, the graceful curves of the carving, and then settled on the knob which drew them there like a magnet. With the softening of the wind my strained ears caught again the sound of breathing now growing nearer and more distinct. I heard again the footsteps now seeming to come with a greater boldness and assurance. Immovable I sat with my horror stricken gaze centered upon the mirror. Then slowly, cautiously, the knob turned. A gust of wind blew through the corridor, a dank, musty cold wind that reeked with the smell of long-closed places. Instantly the candles in the huge candelabrum above me flickered and went out. Then out of the blackness rose a wail, the most unearthly cry of agony I have ever heard, a wail that rose higher and higher echoing and reechoing through the long corridor until it ended in a deafening shriek. But an intense silence, that proved worse for my tortured nerves, followed and left me weak and helpless. Again the wail rose while the slowly approaching steps came nearer and nearer until they stopped just behind my chair. Suddenly something cold and clammy touched my cheeks. My overwrought nerves gave way; my head reeled and I was blessed with unconsciousness. After what seemed hours my senses began to return; my mind yet dazed refused to remember what had happened. Slowly as I became more conscious, I recalled everything with a shudder. I saw again the turning knob, heard again the horrible cry and the steps approaching so cautiously. To my horror the thing still touched my cheek and now with a show of impatience tapped me again. Instantly my eyes opened—gone was the darkness, the big chair by the fireplace with its dying embers, the library with its innumerous volumes, for in their stead the pictures of 104 stared complacently down at me. OH! if only the pictures were staring. Again with renewed zest it rapped upon my cheek; and turning, my dazed eyes beheld a familiar silver pencil. I followed the hand dreading, yet fully expecting, to see what I most feared. The threatening pencil prepared me for the worst; Miss Hein’s face informed me that my fears were well grounded. “There is a very comfortable couch in the teachers’ room, should you care to finish your nap”, she kindly told me. Helpless I sat under the sar- 58 S® • IYCELOBCFJRI5H • m- casm for I saw no sympathy in the grinning faces around me. As I bent my uncomfortably burning face to Virgil, I vowed I’d go to bed at nine o’clock on school nights. Irene Kubista, ’24 AUTUMN The wind is blowing through the trees, The forest’s getting bare, The white clouds sail across the sky, Swept by the fleeing air. In every gutter heaped up high Are leaves in monstrous piles; And round us here and there they fly In many shapes and styles. The lakes are rippling in the wind, The white foam near the shore Bounds helter-skelter here and there Increasing it the more. The fields are empty, bare, and brown, Except where here and there, The corn waves high its tassled head And faintly scents the air. The swallows flying overhead,— In swiftest flight are they; They leave us all the winter long Until the spring they say. The wind is blowing loud and long And over all the earth An empty feeling fills the air Till Spring shall bring new birth. 59 i© • lYCnOBCROTl • '.2.4- THE PURSUIT The sun had already topped the Bank of Wisconsin, and the clock in the steeple changed and clashed repeatedly. I was running. My dainty feet passed lightly over the coarse cement. All was well so far as 1 knew. It was 8:30, and in the distance I heard the tinkle which meant that school was beginning. I smiled to myself as I speedily dodged in and out amongst the terrific traffic. How proud I was of my abilities, and how pleased my waiting friends would be to see my sunny smile. I meditated upon the lack of efficient policing in the High School. How easy it was to bum! I trotted gaily up a deserted side street. Only three more blocks and I would be at the lake. The frozen lake—an ice boat—waiting friends, and a wind! What more could I want? Clot—clot—clot sounded my feet, and I breathed deeply of the refreshing air. A feeling of freedom and adventure seethed through my muddled brain. Clot—clot—clot—I hummed a little ditty to the unfailing rhythm—but hark! Behind me I heard a faint patter-patter of little feet. I glanced uneasily, then stumbled forward. Was all lost? No it could not be. I urged myself forward, and clumsily galloped up a driveway and over a fence. As I did this I somewhat recovered from the shock. My self control came back. After all, maybe it wasn't Mr. Walker I had seen. I leaped through a neat pile of ashes, scattering them to the four winds (only one of which was really blowing). Lightly I vaulted a low-hanging clothes line and swerved to the right, just in time to miss a busy housewife, who was hanging up her washing. I squeezed through a crack in a fence and, stopping, drew my body up flat against the boards. I waited. Almost instantly a form hurled itself over the fence. It lit lightly. I saw that it was Mr. Walker. He was muttering to himself, for he could not see any traces of me. He ran in circles with his head close to the ground, searching, ever searching for footprints. Cautiously I began to creep to a distant cellar door. One—two—three steps I had taken when— crash! An unobserved garbage can had obtruded itself in this strange fashion. With a yelp of glee, Mr. Walker bounded toward me! Not for me to reason why, but for me to do and die. I sprang for an overhanging fire escape. My hand encircled the cold iron and in another instant I was fleeing upward toward the roof. Close behind me I heard the clash of leather on the metal steps. I knew I was still being followed. I reached the roof, raced for the opposite corner, and hurled myself out into the air. I lit on the next roof and hastily slid down the other side. I sprang into the snow bank three stories below. Recovering my balance. I rushed out into the nearby street. Alas! a taxi crashed into me. I fell, and the car piled up in ruins around me. I swore silently at the driver who was trying to figure how he could make some extra money out of it all. He did not heed me. I clambered slowly out of the mess, only to feel a close grasp on my collar. It was Mr. Walker! I fell upon my knees, but he only laughed. I wept and hung my head in shame, but he smiled and straightened his tie. 60 IS • TYCnOBCRFOl • £4- “Forgive—” I moaned. “I just came after you to congratulate you,” he replied; “you got an ‘Ex’ on your test yesterday!

The store was now deserted and he was busy in the front part of it covering up fruit and candy. “Closing up now, Joe?” she asked of her husband as she seated herself on a stool behind one of the counters. “Yes, Molly; guess we won’t have any more customers tonight.” Joe came over to her, put one arm around her waist and planted a kiss on her lips. He was devoted to his wife, who was his partner in business as well as in life. By dint of hard work he and his wife had succeeded in saving a few dollars with which to start this store. They were now working hard to make a success of their shop that they might save enough to build a new store and home in some suburb of New York City. The shop was a combined fruit and candy store located in a tenement district of New York, just a few blocks from a fashionable residential district. Business was only fair and the fulfillment of their dream would require many years of hard work. Joe and Molly were popular with the neighborhood for they always had a bright smile and a cheery word for everyone. They were known as an industrious, hard working couple who treated everyone with fairness. “Well, Molly dear, if you’ll gather up the change, I’ll lock the door and we’ll go to bed.” Molly busied herself at the small cash register of which the store boasted, and Joe went out the front door for a breath of fresh air. He stood there for a moment and. as he turned to go in, a hatless figure came around the corner and dashed past Joe into the store. “Hide me quick,” he said, as he leveled a revolver at Joe, who had followed into the store. “Get behind the counter and lie down on the floor.” The stranger staggered behind the counter and fell rather than lay down. Joe went to the door and started to lock it when he heard feet hurrying past. A blue coated figure stopped as he saw’ Joe at the door. “Seen anything of a robber going past this way?” the policeman panted when the door was opened to him. Joe had but a fraction of a second to think of his 62 I© • TYCHOBCKRfm • £4- answer. Though he was a law-abiding citizen, something seemed to tell him to protect the stranger. “Why, no,” said Joe; “I just this minute came from the back of the store to lock up.” “We’ve lost him and might as w'ell quit, I guess,” said the officer. “Fine night, isn’t it?” “That it is,” said Joe, and then as the policeman walked away he added a cheery “Good-night.” Joe entered the store, locked the door, and drew the shades as usual. When he turned to give his attention to the stranger, he found Molly kneeling beside him and loosening the clothes around his neck. “Let’s get him up to bed, Joe,” said Molly in a tense whisper. Joe stopped and turned the stranger over on his back and as his face came into the light both Molly and Joe gasped. “Why, it's Tom Jackson! Let’s hurry.” With Molly’s aid Joe carried the stranger upstairs to their tiny bedroom. Joe undressed him and put him to bed while Molly busied herself in the kitchen, heating water and looking for bandages. Joe found a bullet wound just under the stranger’s heart. He tenderly bathed it with w’arm water and then wound heavy bandages over it to prevent the flow of blood. As he finished, the stranger’s eyes opened. “Tom, this is Joe Seawood,” Joe whispered. “You’re all right now.” “I recognized Molly just before I lost consciousness. Thanks, Joe, for saving me from the cops.” The wounded man's breath came in gasps and he talked with difficulty. He closed his eyes and Joe held his hand while he waited for him to speak again. As he watched, Joe’s thoughts wandered back to the days when Tom and he were school boys together. Tom had been a wild youngster and had always been getting into scrapes. They had vied with each other for the love of Molly, who lived in a flat in the same tenement in which they lived. Tom’s father and mother had died and he had had to shift for himself. He had fallen into bad company and later Joe had heard that he was as bold a burglar as there was on the East Side. “I'm dying, Joe.” The words brought Joe out of his thoughts. “I want to tell you something. I tried to pull a small job tonight and got caught. As I made my escape the cop who had caught me shot and the bullet hit me. It means my finish.” The wounded man paused to get his breath, for he was breathing with difficulty. Molly had come in and was now standing beside Joe. “Joe, last week I got the Hunt jew-els; you probably read of it in the papers. I hid them—” The dying man’s voice dropped to a whisper and Joe leaned forward to hear of the place where the jewels had been hidden. Tom rallied somewhat. “Get the jewels, Joe, and the reward offered for them is yours. No one knows I pulled the job. Notify my pal, Jack Blue, at Wachter’s cafe, that I died and he will take care of burying me.” , . The voice grew weaker and weaker so that Joe just barely understood what he said. 63 i© • lYcnoBCMmn • 2-4- Joe felt his hand squeezed and then Tom weakly whispered, “Good bye, Joe.” “Goodbye, Tom.” Just a slight tremor, and Joe knew he had gone to the Great Beyond from which there is no returning. Reverently Joe covered Tom’s head with the sheet, and he and Molly tiptoed out of the room. In a few minutes Joe was on his way to find Tom’s pal, Jack Blue. Luckily he found him where Tom had told him. In a few words Joe told him the story of Tom’s death. Jack then got an automobile and the two drove to Joe’s house. Tom’s body was removed without discovery, and Molly and Joe heard of his funeral a few days later. The morning following Tom’s death, Joe arose early and hurried to the place where the jewels were hidden. It required only a few minutes to locate them and transfer them to his pockets. He then returned home and later in the morning made his way to the offices of Hunt Company, a large wholesale distributor of groceries and fruits, with branches in many neighboring towns. When Joe was admitted to the president’s office, he placed the jewels before the astonished Mr. Hunt and then told the story of how he had come by them. He refused to accept the reward since he felt that he had simply done his duty in returning them. Upon learning the nature of Joe’s business and needing a manager for a large, new branch store which was soon to be completed, Mr. Hunt believed him to be just the man for the position and decided to give him the opportunity to make good. Molly and Joe then sold their store and with the proceeds of the sale built a new home on Long Island where Hunt Company’s new branch was located. Thus their dream of a store and home in the suburb came true. Gladys Wiig ’25 Whan that a teacher with her book of Chaucer The pupils’ heads hath perced when they saughter.

Marian Gilbert THE GRUESOME ORDEAL Hoping against hope, I approached the library for I knew that I had been the last to get my slip signed and that I had not passed a single soul in the long, lonely corridor leading to the library. Having gathered up my reserve strength, I opened the door and walked in. I then slowly turned my eyes in the direction of the U. S. H. books and beheld just what I expected to see—a mob of frenzied vandals ransacking the sacred volumes of U. S. H. I then prepared for action. First, I laid my books in a place known only to myself; then, after selecting the weakest spot for attack, I made a mighty dash into the human barrier. I am getting weak, however, from this daily physical exertion, and my futile attempts soon left me exhausted and gasping for breath. Groping blindly, I chanced upon a chair into which I sank historyless but safe. After a little strength returned. I nonchalantly cleaned my glasses and wearily watched the clammering throng. I saw one volume torn to atoms by two dainty little girls in their fanatical desire for U. S. H. I also beheld a timid, fragile, curly-headed boy—Romain,I think—trod down by a gang of robust brutes headed by that lusty rogue they call Parkinson from the Forum arena. As these gruesome sights were commonplace to my jaded sense of perception, I turned my weary eyes toward the magazine rack and beheld what I never dreamed to see: a whole Review of Reviews untouched nor claimed. Uttering inarticulate sounds of voluminous ecstacy, I pounced upon the helpless magazine, halfway ensconced in the rack, and triumphantly stumbled off with it, over the human wreckage that had once been devoted outliners of U. S. H. now reduced to quivering masses of bruised flesh and severed nerves, to a secluded nook, there to while away the oncoming minutes in languorous ease. Wilbur, ’24 65 I© • IYCHOBCMTO. • SA- THE FRESHMEN There are songs enough for Seniors, Who dwell in the heights of fame; I sing for the little Freshman Who’s just got into the game. I sing with a tearful visage For him who walks in the dark ; For him, as he gropes and stumbles Slowly toward the mark. I sing for the Frosh that’s homesick, With sorrow all unknown; For him who needs companions, Yet walks his way alone. There are songs enough for fussers Who haunt the Palace of Sweets; I sing for the Frosh who sits there Alone among the seats. But I know how time fast changes; The Frosh soon finds the place; And ere he is a Senior He’ll run a pretty race. For the plan w’ould be imperfect Unless the Frosh progress’d; And soon a gallant Senior, He’ll fuss like all the rest. Kathryn Schemecker, ’26 THE LUCK OF THE IRISH Biddy staggered up the back steps with a heavy basket of clothes in her arms, plumped it down on the top step, and sat down beside it with a sigh. Her mahogany mop of hair was tousled; she had merry blue eyes, and a mouth that quirked up at the corners. Her whole aspect was decidedly happy although she had nothing in particular to be glad about; on the contrary, she had a great deal to be sad about. She had been called Biddy as long as she could remember, and she said that her last name was McGinn. She knew, however, that she was no relation to Mother McGinn and big brutal Pete McGinn. Whenever she questioned about herself, Mother McGinn would look sad and frightened, and if Pete found it out he would beat them both. It is of no use to hide it any longer; Biddy was a crook. In fact she was the best dip in the neighborhood. She could pick 66 a neat sum from a pocket better than any of her many friends. They were, as she was, accomplished pickpockets; however, it is best to say nothing more of their characters. It never bothered Biddy especially about taking the money although she always made sure that the person she took it from could spare a little. Once she took a check from a man and later found out it was to pay the mortgage on his house. She chased him to his hotel and finally put the money back without his knowing he had lost it. As she sat there musing, a shrill voice was heard crying, “Biddy, come here! Pete’s back, and he wants you!” She picked up the wash and entered the house. A big, slovenly man with shifty eyes sat at the table in the kitchen. He began, “Go and dress up real pert. I’m going to have you go to the park. You ought to make a good haul, and—” he leaned forward with a threatening look—“be sure you hand it all to me! If I catch you keeping any, even if it is for the Miller kids, I’ll make you more than sorry. Get me?” The girl shuddered and her eyes narrowed, but she only nodded and ran out. There was a moment’s silence—then the little woman in the room began to speak. “You’d better be careful, Pete! She hates you; she wants to know her past, and if she ever finds out the facts is in the house she’ll never stop till she gets them!” “She’ll never know unless you tell her! And if you value your health and know what’s good for you, you’ll keep still!” The man rose and left the room. Half an hour later Biddy was watching a very good looking young fellow coming along the walk. “Sure and he’ll do!” she said. Quickening her pace she very innocently bumped into him. Then she continued on her way with a watch and a black case that she thought was his wallet. Opening it she found cigarettes and cards. Taking one she read, “Mr. James Mintern, Norris Court.” Steps sounded behind her, and a cheery voice said, “Oh, I say, would you mind giving me my watch? I find it rather useful, you know.” With a gasp she turned and saw the owner of the watch. For once in her life Biddy lost her composure. Her cheeks grew fiery red, and for the life of her she could think of nothing to say. Silently she handed back the watch and wallet. “Righto! Thanks awfully, but my dear girl, you needn’t take anything like this so hard. I won't report you.” “It’s not that, but—” Biddy managed to stammer. “Oh, I see! It’s rather a come down, isn’t it? Well, you know, I've been watching you and I must say you're awfully clever!” “Of all the nerve! I—I—” She stopped. Then her keen sense of humor came to the rescue and her merry laugh rang out. Of course after that they began to talk. Half an hour later Mr. James Mintern exclaimed. “I have it!” “What is it?” she urged. “You know I am very fond of this park? I go walking here every 67 i© • iYcnoB€i Rm • 5.4- day, and I suppose you’re fond of it too. What do you say to our—” his merry eves found an answering twinkle in hers. “Well—” “Well—” And so the park proved to be a happy meeting place for many pleasant hours between an English gentleman and a little Irish pickpocket. But Biddy’s good luck did not continue. Scarcely three months later Jimmy Mintern failed to meet her. She waited for him in the park everyday for a week; then she gave it up. “Sure, and I might have known he would never bother with the likes of me!” she scolded to herself. On top of this Mother McGinn fell seriously ill. It soon became evident that a doctor could never keep her. Poor Biddy nursed her day and night in an agony of fear. One evening she was sitting beside Mother McGinn w’hen she spoke, breaking a long silence. “Biddy, where’s Pete?” “He’s gone out. He hardly ever comes home now,” answered Biddy. Mother McGinn sighed with relief; it was an effort to speak. Then furtively casting glances around the room she drew from a hole in the mattress a locket. Handing it to the astonished Biddy she gasped, “Biddy, you are—Pete he—” she stopped for breath. The girl bent low to catch the words, “—kidnapped you—name O’Day—could not help —bless you—darl—With a long quivering sigh Mother McGinn died. Two years later a thinner, sadder, paler, and noticeably older Biddy stood before a judge in a police court hearing a sentence of five years in a state penitentiary passed against her. A word to the wise will be necessary. After the disappearance of Jimmy Mintern and the death of Mother McGinn Biddy felt as if she hadn’t a friend in the world. Pete had changed, and she was deathly afraid of him. She locked herself in at night and left all of her spoils except enough to live on, in a hiding place where Pete could come and get them. Always striving to get at the mystery of the locket, she became a noted crook. The police of three states offered rewards for her capture, and she was noted for her daring and for the unnecessary risks she took. However, here she w-as, caught at last! Biddy sat in her cell in the state penitentiary, tearfully gazing at the two faces the locket held. One she had finally decided was herself at about three years. The other was the face of a young woman with coal black hair and Biddy’s mouth and eyes. The thought had often come to her that this might have been her mother, and she liked to imagine it was. Looking up she saw a group of visitors coming down the corridor. Suddenly she ran to her door, stretched her arms pitifully through the bars, and gave a hysterical shriek that ended in a sob! A young man, who had been walking at the side of a sweet faced woman with iron grey hair suddenly turned, started back against the wall and cried, “Biddy!” Yes, it was Jimmy Mintern. A couple of nights later a radiant Biddy was locked in the arms of the lady with the iron grey hair, the same lady whose face was in the locket— in other words—Biddy or Shannon O’Day’s mother. Biddy had been kidnapped when she was very young; and, although 68 is • xYcnoBCKRnn • 2.4- her ransom had been paid several times to the profit of the kidnappers. Biddy had never been returned. Her mother had been heart broken and, to take her mind off her loss, had resolved to spend her life in doing charitable deeds. It was through this resolve that she happened to be at the penitentiary that eventful day. Jimmy Mintern had been called back to England unexpectedly by the death of his mother, and on returning to America could not find a trace of Biddy. That same evening Jimmy and Biddy could have been heard busily talking in the garden of Mrs. O’Day’s house. “The likes of it!” came Biddy's voice; “I to be pardoned by the governor himself, to be the rich and long lost Shannon O’Day, to have a beautiful mother, and to have the son of my mother’s best friend for my best friend, I hope!” she added. “You needn’t hope, Biddy,” answered Jimmy’s voice. I’m more than your best friend. I’m—” a suspicious silence, two happy sighs, and Biddy’s, “Sure, and isn’t it the luck of the Irish!” Betty Anne Werder, ’25 Miss Murphy is our history shark; She surely knows the dates; She tells us of the kings and queens, And remembers which are mates. Every day she must review What we had the day before, And then again when we come to class, We review a few days more.

But Aetna thunders nigh With roars and loud upheavals, and at times He sends aloft a black and swirling cloud Of pitchy smoke and glowing embers as He hurls up sheets of flame and licks the stars; From time to time he rends apart and then Ejects the rocky bowels of the mount. He gathers up and throws unto the sky The melting stones with mighty rumbling while The lava seethes in gulfs of boiling fire.

Fayette Durlin ’24 A FIRST APPEARANCE ON THE AUDITORIUM STAGE “Oh, Clyde!” called a voice after Clyde Phelps as he slowly walked along the lower corridor. He turned to see who called him, and it proved to be Marguerite Haynes. “We want you to give a talk in the Auditorium next Wednesday,” she said before he had no more than opened his mouth to greet her. “Applesauce! Don’t tell me any more like that or I shall die of laughing, heh, heh.” “I’m not joking,” she answered; “Miss Hargrave told me to tell you.” “But the doctor told me when I had my tonsils out not to try to talk much,” Clyde parried. “That must have been several years ago because ever since I've known you, you have been very capable of talking. I shall call on you next Wednesday.” “What in thunder is my subject, then?” he shouted, for she had gone half way down the hall before he realized she had stopped talking. “Ask Miss Hargrave,” she answered, and disappeared around the corner. 71 s • TYCHOBCPJRT31 • - Slowly his stricken brain resumed its usual course. He realized that he must go on with his classes and act as though nothing had happened to disturb the tranquil course of his life. He somehow managed to get through the day without failing on every question his teachers asked him. Directly after school, he went up to Miss Hargrave’s office and there received his subject. When he arrived home and gently broke the news to the family, everyone seemed to think it wonderful that Clyde should be going to speak before “the whole High School!” Long did he puzzle over that memorable speech. It was to be interesting, humorous, and informing. Finally it was completed. Hours had Clyde spent over that precious piece of paper. He grew tired from waking himself by repeating aloud passages in his sleep. The day arrived. Two periods passed, and it was now time to go into Miss Welty's office. His heart was beating like a trip-hammer, and when one of his friends touched him on the back, he jumped like a frightened rabbit. The auditorium was filling fast, and in a minute he filed out to the platform with the rest and sat down. He broke into a cold sweat as he realized he couldn’t remember how the beginning of his speech, his own familiar speech, started. Marguerite was speaking now, though to him she sounded a long way off. He shifted his hands, started anew to say his speech to himself; silently he muttered a prayer promising to go to Sunday School faithfully every Sunday if God would only help him today, and then— “Clyde Phelps will now tell you a little more about it.” “Amen!” Clyde silently breathed. All the blood in his body rushed to his head, and his eyes swam as he staggered weakly to his feet. His throat was dry and he felt suffocated, but automatically he began talking. Someone began to laugh, and the whole student body followed. He paused, his mental powers in a whirl. Slowly the sense of the words he had just spoken filtered through the rushing thoughts of disaster, and he realized that what he had said was a joke which days before he had added to his speech. Then they were not laughing at him—oh! He gave a forced little laugh, just to show that he was not embarrassed, as everyone else finished laughing. He floundered, cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and rushed headlong on to the end of his topic. He immediately turned and sank into his chair with the sound of applause ringing in his burning ears. The program ended with another speech; whereupon everyone sifted out through the minute entrances, Clyde, a damp, limp mass, rising from his chair and following. Instantly, now that the ordeal was over, his outlook on life inmproved; and when someone said, “That was a bear of a talk, Clyde,” Clyde merely replied. “Yes? Glad you liked it.” Judson Kempton. ’25 72 ACTIVITO MvV. aM . - vi;i: . , ';-.?.%• ■ • • ri v.. ■V ■ ■ V' r - •' , -f ' . • • - a v t V m I VI %• M. H. S. L. S.

From the time of its formation until the spring of 1909, the club continued to progress; but in 1909 the club disbanded on account of lack of interest in debating. In 1911 and 1912 attempts were made to reorganize Lit, but it was not until 1913 that this reorganization was successful. From 1913 up to the present time. Lit has been an active and progressive debating club, striving always to uphold the purposes and ideals on which the club was founded. “Lit” is the only debating club which has ever defeated “G. D.

Vice-President........................ Secretary ............................ Gordon Hansen ..James Hanks ... Harriet Olds The Student Council, formerly known as the Student Court, has in the last year been functioning solely as an executive body owing to an apparent lack of interest among the students. The court duties of the organization have been replaced by those of a council. Contrary to the opinion of many, however, the Student Council is an active body. It has reorganized the system of voting and has supervised the student elections. The school clubs are organized under a set of rules laid down by the council. In spite of the sincere effort of every member of the council, this body is handicapped by the lack of support by the students. The council should be a body bv, as well as of and for. the students of Central High. 78 THE MIRROR The Staff Eclitor-in-Chief .....................................

The staff had some doubts as to the manner in which their paper would be received, but the first day’s sale surpassed all expectations. Only eight hundred were printed, but these were taken so rapidly that within fifteen minutes a frantic message asking for two hundred more copies had been sent to the printer. Not only the first issue, but each one since then has been eagerly bought by the student body, and the staff feels that it owes a great deal of the success of the paper to the loyal support of the students. There has long been a need for some school organ to bring the news of the school to every student and thereby to crystallize public feeling on school questions, and the “Madison Mirror” has ably filled this need. 79 © • lYcnoBCRerm • 2.4 The Madison Central students who placed in the District High School Commercial Contest, held in Madison May 3, are as follow: Shorthand..................................M.

On each shelf are cups of all sizes and shapes which seem to try earnestly to tell you of the thrilling contests which they have witnessed. Each one has its own history; and each one has, in its day, been the object of hard-fought struggles. The students of Central High should be very proud of these trophies, not merely because they are pleasing to the eye but because each one represents our supremacy in some worth-while attainment. Indeed, these trophies stand as testimony that our school is at all times seeking honors, whether they be athletic or scholastic. When you have a spare moment, visit that dim corner of the Auditorium and gaze at those rows of glistening silver and bronze. Here are the symbols of true school spirit, that spirit which impels boys and girls to give their very best for the sake of their school. 82 MUSIC THE BAND After a number of discouraging setbacks, the band, under the leadership of Mr. Sanders, is once again taking a prominent part in school activities. During the past year an association was formed which was made up of combined East Side and Central bands. This association holds a meeting once each month. Its primary purpose is to promote good music. Just as in past years, the band has played an important part in arousing spirit for football and basketball games; and it has also assisted in the other school activities. At the present time this organization is devoting its time to preparation for the state high school band contest to be held in Lake Geneva. 83 THE ORCHESTRA This year the Central High School Orchestra has again demonstrated that it is one of the most successful of the school’s organizations. Not so many years ago there was no such thing as an orchestra in Central High; but finally, under the guidance of Mr. Grindell, a group of musically inclined students formed the first orchestra in our school. From that time the orchestra has steadily developed until now. under the leadership of Mr. Paul Sander, who has succeeded Mr. Jacquish as director, it is one of the best high school organizations of its kind in the state. The orchestra has furnished entertainment for the student body at twenty minute periods; and it has also played for the “Pirates of Penzance , the comic opera given by the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs. The Madison Orchestral Association, composed of members of the bands and orchestras of Central and East Side, is another result of the efforts of Miss Menaul and Mr. Sander. The combined orchestras and bands of these two schools plan to enter the state contest at the University, and prospects for a good showing are bright. As shown by these various activities of the orchestra, this school year has been very successful musically, and the outlook for the future is most promising. THE MUSIC CONTEST The first annual state music contest, sponsored by the University of Wisconsin, was held on May 9 as a part of the Music Week program. Here Central once again distinguished herself by winning first place in the mixed chorus and second in the orchestra number. As a result of these triumphs the school won the largest number of points of any school entered, and thereby we secured the large cup which was awarded as grand prize. Central has cause to be proud of its musicians, for they competed with some of the best talent in the state. Miss Menual and Miss Duncan, the musical directors, deserve a great deal of praise for their efforts in training our entries. 84 i© • lYCnOBCJMRHTt • m- GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Top Row: Pansy Alvis, Ruth Kuhlmun.

Meetings are held the ninth period every Monday, and regular credit is given as for chorus. The club made its 1924 debut in an “Aud” concert. On Friday before the holidays, its members strolled the halls and sang outside the classroom doors. In March, as a grand climax to its season’s activities, the G. G.

The club looks forward to even greater success in the future. 85 s© • i'YcnoBCRRrai • £4- Ralph Parkin Helen Zcimet Edwin Larkin INTERSCHOLASTIC DEBATING With the coming of Miss Welty as coach, interscholastic debating was again taken up by Central this year. The school has not been actively interested in debating for three years. Last year Central participated in no interscholastic debates. Although two of the four debating teams lost the judges’ decisions, it is the feeling of the teachers and the students that this has been a very successful forensic year. In the Baraboo-La Crosse-Madison triangle debate, which occurred January twenty-ninth, the Madison negative team, composed of Robert Larkin, Marcella Eierman, and John Parkinson, won from La Crosse at La Crosse. The decision of the judges was three to nothing. The same evening the Madison affirmative team, composed of Ralph Parkin. Helen Zeimet, and Edwin Larkin, lost to Baraboo at Madison with the decision of three to nothing. The question for this triangular John Parkinson Marcella Eierman Robert Larkin i© • lYcnoBCRRinn • 24- Sam Chechik Catherine Colburn Robert Larkin Paul Purcell debate was: Resolved, That the Essential Features of the Huber Unem- ployment Insurance Bill Should Be Adopted by Congress, Constitutionality Conceded. In the East Side-University High-Central triangle debate, which was held on the evening of March fourteenth, the Central negative team, composed of Katherine Kuehne, Ruth Phillips, and Edwin Larkin, won a two to one decision from University High School at the latter school. Central’s corresponding affirmative team, made up of Paul Purcell, Catherine Colburn, and Robert Larkin, lost to East Side, the judges’ decision being two to one. The question, Resolved: That the Government Should Own and Operate Our Coal Mines by the year Nineteen Hundred and Thirty, was the subject of discussion. Miss Welty has brought to Central High School an interest in debating. It is hoped by the supporters of debating that this interest will increase so that in time debating may be regarded as one of the major instead of one of the minor activities of our school. 87 Ruth Phillips Jack McKenna Edward Larkin Catherine Kuehne S9 • lYCnOBCFJRm • m- DRAMATiCS MISS WELTY Miss Welty came to Central High this year as coach of debating and dramatics. Although unfamiliar with both school and students, she not only has been strikingly successful in her work but has won the regard of everyone who has been so fortunate as to be able to work with her. Central may well hope that in years to come debating and dramatics will be as successful as in the past season. CHRISTMAS PROGRAM A Christmas program was the first dramatic production of the year. The program consisted of two one-act plays, “What Men Live By”, dramatized from Tolstoi’s story, and “Young Mr. Santa Claus”, a fantasy by Claudia Harris. The first play, “What Men Live By”, is a simple and thoroughly delightful story which deals with Russian life. It concerns an old cobbler who takes pity on an unknown wanderer after a rich nobleman has passed him by. Because of his kindness to the stranger, the cobbler is justly rewarded. The play was most appropriate for the occasion, striking the keynote of the true Christmas spirit. The second play, “Yroung Mr. Santa Claus”, was very interesting and entertaining. All the things we associate with Christmas were brought into the play: snow-men. Jack Frost, Christmas trees, holly, and our dear old friend, Kris Kringle. Both plays were exceptionally well given and were thoroughly appreciated by the audience. The program was truly an all school affair. The production was under the direction of Miss Lucile Wflty, the school’s dramatic coach. The costumes were designed and executed under the direction of Miss Reilly, Miss White, and Mrs. Stewart. Stage settings were made under the direction of Miss Riker. All the stage carpentry was done by the Manual Training Department under the direction of Mr. Fuller. The instrumental music was furnished by the high school orchestra under the supervision of Mr. Sanders. The Music department, under the direction of Miss Me-naul and Miss Duncan, furnished the chorus music. Certainly Central should be proud of such a production. 88 © • lYcnoBCMfin • m- 89 i© • lYCnOBCMM. • £4- CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTS TWO ONE-ACT PLAYS High School Auditorium, Friday, December 14, 1923 I— Hungarian Dance V___________________________________________________Brahms Cavatina _______________________________________________________________Raff “WHAT MEN LIVE BY” Dramatized From Tolstoi’s Story Characters—In the order of their appearance.

It has been the custom in Central, heretofore, to bring the dramatic season to a close by presenting a Shakesperian play. This year it has been found advisable to depart from the policy pursued in former years. “Ingomar” which is interesting and full of dramatic incidents comes very highly recommended by the fact that Sothern and Marlowe have played in it with great success. In view of Miss Welty’s past successes, we believe that with the fine cast she has selected, Ingomar should prove the crowning dramatic success of the year.

The play which was given on Tuesday, May 29, was one of the finest dramatic productions ever presented to the school. Miss Cooper and the cast were highly praised for their fine work.

But that boy would have found himself very unwelcome, for there is no demand for boys at the Girls’ Frolic, which usually proves to be the peppiest party of the season. Early in the evening the teachers presented a very clever stunt in which the honors for dramatic talent went to Mrs. Knudsen, perhaps because of the practice gained while explaining French to her classes. Then Ruth Oscar captivated the orchestra by her dancing (and her rompers). Lastly we were introduced to the famous Key family, musicians of high calibre. The grand march was a great success. The prize for the prettiest costume was given to Dallas Hirst, who made a charming white Pierrette. The award for the funniest outfit was easily won by Lucile Drews in an out-of-date green checked suit. Accessories added to her charm—a red bow, sugar lump earings, spectacles, and a big hand mirror. The dancing itself should not be left unmentioned, for the shieks kept things stepping. The heartache caused when the girls realized that Shorty Bell was really only a girl can never be quite atoned for. After the refreshments we danced and danced till a weak strain of “On Wisconsin” signaled the end of the liveliest dance of the year.

We had our usual party On Hallowe’en this fall. When, garbed in funny clothes, We had a reg’lar ball. But the Christmas stunt was a fake. If you’d know the season why, I’d say we were so broke That tickets we could not buy. At the one mat dance this year, The best of many seasons, The boys cried out, “Great!” They surely had good reasons. And now with graduation, We find high school days are o’er, With the parties which charmed us once; Those parties were ne’er a bore. 95 Why should we be proud of “Old Central ? Why should we fight for it, maintain its standards, and honor its traditions? To answer these questions we must look into the past. Madison’s first school was built in the year eighteen thirty-eight. It was a small, rough oak building about eighteen by twenty feet. This was put up at a cost of seventy dollars, raised by popular subscription from the parents of the fifteen pupils. It was a typical back-woods school house. Miss Bray ton, the “school marm, was paid two dollars a week. From this she paid a dollar for her board. In those days a group of Winnebago Indians, in a jocular mood, formed a circle around the school one morning and, pounding on tin kettles, so thoroughly frightened the children that, after the Indians had gone, school was dismissed for the day. The high school was founded in the year eighteen fifty-four in the basement of the Methodist Church. These quarters proved to be inadequate. Two years later the school was moved to the Congregational Church on Webster Street. In eighteen forty-seven the Madison Female Academy was built at a cost of thirty-five hundred dollars on the site where Central now stands. By eighteen fifty-eight this had become a general high school. It is interesting to note that at this time the teachers, who were paid in city orders, were cautioned against disposing of them for less than eighty-five per cent of their face value. In eighteen fifty-seven a new high school was built on this same site at a cost of twenty thousand dollars. This building, with some alterations made in eighteen eighty-seven, served its purpose until nineteen-eight when our present high school was erected. From this time on the number of the pupils in the school rapidly increased. In nineteen-twenty the school became so over-crowded that it was decided to build a new school on the east side. The newr East Side High School, which was completed in nineteen twenty-two, relieved Madison High of approximately six hundred students. After the new high school was built, it was found advisable to change the name of Madison High to Central High. In nineteen twenty-three the new Vocational School was built adjacent to our school. Several of our departments were then transferred to the Vocational School, thus greatly-increasing their efficiency. Thus we see that Central has even been on the upward trend. 96 THE FIRST HIGH SCHOOL (1856) It is very interesting to know the how, the when, and the wherefore of some of our most cherished traditions. In the year eighteen ninety-four “Lit”, the school’s oldest debating club, was organized. In the same year the first annual of Madison High School was published by a board consisting of ten members. After the completion of the book, the board was at a loss for a satisfactory name for their annual. They finally decided on the name “Tychoberahn”, which is derived from two Indian words, “tah hah”, the Winnebago word for lake, and “tshoperah”, a word meaning four. The greatest athletic event in the history of the school also took place in the year nineteen hundred. At that time Madison High played Minneapolis for the championship of the United States and defeated them. In nineteen-five, due to increased enthusiasm in debating, the Forum Debating Society was founded. As woman suffrage was developing into a very important issue, the girls felt an urgent need for an THE SCHOOL IN 187.‘i 97 I© 4- THE HIGH SCHOOL IN 1887 organization in which they could argue out questions for themselves. To till this need, the Girls’ Debating Club was organized. Since this time a number of other clubs have been organized to promote the various activities of the school. Eighty-six years have passed since Madison’s first school was built. Today our system of schools is one of the foremost in the West. Central High is one of the finest units in this system. Central is known far and wide for its clean, straightforward, and first quality athletics and scholarship. At the present time our school has fifty-five class rooms, an auditorium seating fourteen hundred, a large gymnasium, and a fine new library. There are seventy-three teachers and one thousand three hundred and eight pupils in the fourteen departments of the school. Surely we should feel proud of “Old Central”. May it continue to drive forward and keep the coveted supremacy it has attained. ‘‘nrrr rrrrr J rrrrr frier r rrrrr rr rrrrr rr 1m i T6rV i-rirr p fjrrn rrr rn Trr rrrr | ff r rrrrr | TTT rrrrr j FVr rrrrr l THE ORIGINAL PLAN OF THE PRESENT HIGH SCHOOL 98 -lYcnoBCFJRran • 2.4- WHAT ATHLETICS ACTUALLY ARE Any form of athletics is nothing less than a monotonous grind. It is that same routine of practice over and over again, and then the part of it all which the spectator only associates with athletics, the actual game. But the game is the smallest, the most minute part of that whole training period, which marks day after day of drudgery for the athlete, in preparation for only one hour of playing during a game. He spends five days of training, besides the practice hours which he spends in energy and effort to attain physical perfection. Training to many of us in its narrow sense is only a technical term. On the athlete’s ability to abide by certain stringent training requirements depends in a large part his success in the coming game. If he enters a football contest not in the best of physical condition, the gruelling efforts he puts forth in a game of that sort will soon tell on his endurance. He cannot stand the strain; the tissues of his body have not been strengthened to the extent that they should have been to undergo a hard football game. Since so many coaches are emphasizing the fact that the most important part of an athlete’s work is the maintenance of training rules, we might do well to go into a more detailed discussion of what training rules consist of and how they have so direct a bearing on the success of an athlete and his team. Practically the same rules can be laid down for any branch of athletics. Training means the sacrifice of many enjoyments and pleasures which young men are wont to indulge in. It means regularity in meals, no late hours, and numerous discomforts endured. Surely, it is no pleasant task to leave school at four o’clock and strike out for the football field every day. There, for two or three hours, and often for a time in darkness, the athlete is kept driving at his plays and signals. The last hour is spent in scrimmage. Through these trial games, with a second team the coach is able to point out the glaring defects and weaknesses, which must be remedied before the coming game. Leaving the gridiron, he comes home for his meal. Seldom is it a fresh, hot one, for you try coming late for your evening meal once or twice, and see whether your mother is willing to set the table the second time. There are some that do, but the general run of the fellows must go home and prepare a scanty bit for themselves. The athlete finishes his meal and then attacks his studying. I use “attacks” here because it is only with such a method that one can concentrate with a brain wearied and fatigued. As the player must keep eligible, he can’t pass up his studies, thinking he’ll get them later. In spite of his tired body, he must force himself to get his school work done because an ineligible player is as good to a coach as—a telephone post. And so it is with basketball, baseball, and track. The same routine of training must be observed, and it takes one with a mighty strong will power to keep himself at so tireless a program throughout a whole season. But the development of that will power is one of the greatest benefits which can be derived from athletics, regardless of its discomforts.

The club was founded in 1920 by George Levis, coach at that time, and since then it has had in its membership athletes of both national and international fame. It is the purpose of the club to promote all athletic activities in the school and to help keep the scholastic standing of the athletes high. This year the “M” Club gave the athletic department some very useful assistance by doing police duty at the games and by helping sell season tickets. The club is also active socially. Each year it gives the “M” Club dance for the purpose of bringing all of the old “M” men together for one evening to live over old times. The club has also brought the “M” club register up to date and is trying to realize the dream of a trophy-room. Although it cannot be realized this year, it is hoped that the “M” men of next year will carry on the work. 100 Gordon Hansen 24- MR. JOHNSON MR. THOMPSON THE COACHES Much credit is to be given the coaches, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Thompson. for the wonderful work they have done for our school and our student body. This year the coaches were more successful in promoting athletics than they were last year because it is their second year at Central High. When the football season started, the coaches had an idea of what material they had coming back to the team from the previous year; and this is one of the greatest problems a coach has to face. In basketball there were also men who had had experience on the high school team, and this did away with much worrying for Mr. Johnson. Track was somewhat different this year from what it was last because many of the track men of last year’s squad were lost through graduation. It is hoped that the track season will be as successful as it was last year. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Thompson have had a great deal of experience, and they certainly know their branch of work, judging by the teams they have turned out. which are a credit to the school. We, the students of Central High, greatly appreciate the work these men have done for our school and hope that the coming years will be even more successful than this year has been. THE ATHLETIC BOARD At the head of any organization there is always a controlling unit; without this controlling unit or body that organization is weak. At the head of the athletic department of Madison Central High School there is an athletic board. This board, which consists of seven members—four from the faculty and three from the student body, awards all “M’s”, emblems, and numerals. 101 is • IYCnOBCPJRRH • 24- The board also handles all business as the buying of new equipment and the handling of the Athletic Fund Campaign. This year the representatives of the faculty are Mr. Barnes, Mr. Riner, Mr. Walker, and Mr. Johnson, acting chairman. The student members are Sam Chechik, football manager; Kenneth Thompson, basketball manager; and Jerome Sinaiko, track manager. THE SEASON TICKET CAMPAIGN It has been the custom of the Athletic Department for the past few years to give the students an opportunity of buying their season tickets for all the athletic contests during the year at a much reduced price. This also is an advantage to the department as it gives them for immediate use a large sum of money which they would otherwise get in small sums at various times. This year season tickets were sold only for football games. Two sellers were selected from each session room; and, as a means of stimulating the sales, a shield was offered to the session room first to get 100%. A clock was placed on the bulletin board to indicate the progress of each session room, and there was much keen rivalry. 216 was first to get 100% and was duly presented with the shield. The campaign was very interesting and successful. Gordon Hansen, Campaign Manager THE ALL-AMERICANS The Madison Central High School owes a tribute to the All-American Football Team of 1923-24. The All-American team consists of about twenty fellows who are all ineligible either because of the “no-con” rule, or because they are over age, or because they have been in high school more than four years. They have not the slightest chance either to make the regular squad or to get even a half-set of numerals. However, they started out the week before school began in September and stayed out until the football season was over. They were out in the hot weather playing just as hard and perspiring just as much as any of the others. Then came the cold evenings when football practice was about as much as one could stand, and the All-Americans stayed out with the rest. During the rainy season, when about two inches of wrater stood on the ground with another inch of mud beneath, the All-Americans came out just as regularly; and they got just as wet, muddy, and tired as the best of the regulars. Then came the cold days and the nights of practice in the cold, clear moonlight. There were times when that bunch of fellows played against the first team on a field covered with snow . At times the cleat marks froze and were as so many saw teeth; but the All-Americans were of the right stuff, and they hung on. This squad of men is of the best type that Central produces, and they have as fine a spirit as anyone in the school. Knowing that they have not a chance to play on the first squad or to win even a numeral, they received many a bump and spent many an hour that Central High might have a real, hard-fighting football team. 102 THE FOOTBALL SEASON OF 1923 Not since those well-remembered days when George “Windy” Levis was producing championship elevens, have we watched a stronger Central High School team perform on the gridiron. Perhaps this will lead many to think that Coach Johnson was supplied with an unusually strong and promising squad, but nay, the Fates decreed otherwise. With only four experienced men surviving the graduating scythe, and a small squad of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, working to acquire football experience for their remaining years, we can easily see that Coach Johnson had a Herculean task before him in his efforts to assemble from such a group an eleven worthy of representing Central High and worthy of maintaining the school's reputation on the football field. Add to the points already mentioned the fact that we had a very strong schedule for 1923, including games with some of the strongest elevens in the state, and I think that then we will begin to realize that Coach Johnson did a noble job although he was hampered by many disadvantages. His efforts were not in vain, for the team which he developed in 1923 will go down in Central High School’s history as one of the fastest and scrappiest elevens that ever trotted out upon the gridiron. It possessed the true Central High fight, and never did a football team play a cleaner and more sportsmanlike game. In short, it was a team composed of a group of boys which any high school could be very proud to claim as its own. The year 1923 was the dawning of a new era for athletics in Madison. East Side High School had by this time been fully established, and, although they had a football eleven the previous year, they did not schedule a game with Central High School. It was not until 1923 that three high schools were arranged to meet in athletics. This competition between all high schools within the city naturally leads to a greater interest in athletics. The strength of East Side High and Wisconsin High was comparatively known, but we were the dark horse of the race; consequently our first game was awaited with great interest and expectation. After a few weeks of preliminary practice we met Stoughton High School in our territory, and Coach Johnson’s proteges pulled the unexpected by amassing a total of 27 points to the enemy’s 7. The following Saturday we met much stronger opposition in Edgerton, but they also proved only good preliminary practice for the next week’s 103 We sent © -iYcnoBCPsKrai • game, which was to be the first of the inter-high school contests. Edgerton back, smarting under a 19-0 defeat. We then took on Wisconsin High, an old rival, but one whom we never had met before on the gridiron. In an exciting game and in one which proved more interesting than the final score actually indicated, we vanquished one of our city competitors by a 19-7 count. This victory considerably strengthened our prospects for the coming East Side High tilt. Then followed the only two invasions of hostile territory of the year. The first was with the strong, veteran Beloit aggregation. Central High was doped as the under dog, but in a game in which the Central High fighting spirit dominated, our boys triumphed by the slim margin of one touchdown, the score being 14-7. Previous to our victory over Beloit, we had also been scheduled to lose to Kenosha, another strong eleven. However, the tables were again turned, for we barely nosed out a victory by one point, due to the educated toe of “Mike” Tripolin. The final score stood 7 to 6. The game which was to be played between Central and East Side High was to decide not only the football supremacy between the two schools, but also the football championship of Madison. After Central High had defeated Wisconsin High, East Side High also set the Badger Preps back a notch so that these two undefeated elevens were to play for bigger stakes. Because their victories had been won by larger scores than ours, East Side was given the odds. There were many who could not conceive of an Orange and Black victory. It is not necessary to dwell on the details of the game, for only the score 23-0 can tell how decisively Central High overwhelmed East Side High. Fighting against odds, before the largest high school crowd in many seasons, our boys emerged victorious from a game replete with their sensational playing. They certainly deserved their newly acquired title, “The Champion Football Eleven of Madison, Wisconsin.” After a string of six consecutive victories the strain was beginning to tell, and it seemed as if a stumbling block was due in the remaining two games. We certainly found it in Eau Claire. Any team, even among the best, has a bad day, and this one with Eau Claire seemed to be Central High’s. However, Eau Claire barely squeezed out a win by 6—0 score. The following Saturday we played Racine in the final game of the year. Racine had made a very impressive record this year, and they were big favorites over Central High. We would have been very elated if we had held them to a low score, so respected was their ability. But Coach Johnson was not to be satisfied in just holding them to a low score. In the week intervening between the Eau Claire and the Racine games he inspired enough confidence and fight in the team to outplay Racine in all departments of the game, and until the last two minutes of play Central High was leading 6-3. But a fluke pass on the part of Rose, Racine’s quarterback de luxe, snatched a deserved victory right out of our hands. But our coach was not discouraged, for to him it was as good as a victory to lead the great Racine by a 6-3 score, only to lose in the last few minutes of the game. 104 is • lYCnOBCMM • The football campaign of 1923 was a very successful season, and our success should be attributed in a large part to the efforts of Coach Johnson and his able assistant, Mr. Thompson. It is also only fitting and proper that we extend at this time the deserved praise and honor to our boys who brought such glory to old Central High on the football field. Sam Chec-hik.

George played a hard and fast game. His tackling was effective, and at opening up a hole he was no second-rate man. George did his share of punting. More than once the pigskin left his toe to go sailing down the field toward the opponent’s goal. Anderson, Right Guard Norman is a hard man to surpass. He surely had the fight and cooperation equal to any man on the team. He showed his worth by his hard playing, skillful blocking, and deadly tackling. We hope to see “Norm” a pillar in the line next year. Dunn, Right End Pete, a letter man from last year, surely pulled down his share of passes. He was on his toes from whistle to whistle and caused much worry for his opponents. He is fast on his feet and has a dangerous form of tackling. This is Dunn’s last year of high school football as he graduates in June. Lynaugh, Quarterback Pat is a fighting pilot when it comes to running his team. He has a cool and level head, thinks fast, and acts accordingly. There is only one fault to find with “Pat”, and that is, he had a lot of trouble with his head-gear in the East Side game. Graduation will take “Pat” from next year’s squad. Blied, Left Guard It cannot be doubted that “Buddy” used his weight and strength to the best of his ability for Central High. The opposing team found him a hard man to get through and an avalanche of destruction. We hope to see him in the line next year. York, Right Tackle Minus practical football experience and the necessary coaching which he should have had to make him at least an average lineman, Romain York developed into a finished tackle in one season. York has an ideal build for a lineman, and he certainly used his weight and height to the best purposes. In the East Side game he proved to be a fighting demon. Hats off to old Romain, one of Central High’s best tackles. Flick, Right Guard Francis was a hard fighting man. He was a strong and tricky blocker, and a fine tackier. Francis, gifted with a big hand and a strong right arm, could pass a ball as far as any ordinary fellow could kick it. -’me last few minutes of the Racine game showed what he could do. Francis will be missed next year. 106 2.4- 107 a© • IYCnOB€S Rrai • 2.4- Kittleson, Left End James played a hard, fast game through the season. He was fast on his feet and had a good eye for the ball. More than once his completed pass meant much to our team. James was in on most of our opponents’ plays. He was a fast man on punts and a good tackier. Jimmy also graduates in June. Tripolin, Left Half Mike was a strong member of the team. His open field work was remarkable; and as a line plunger, he was a constant worry to the opponents. Mike’s toe also won much fame in the Kenosha game. There is not much doubt about Mike winning a place on the team next year. Finnerty, Right Half Leo was up on his toes and coming. His open field work was good, and he is good for a gain over any part of the line. Leo’s hobby was skirting the right or left end for about five or seven-yard gains. His fast foot work and deadly tackling will be missed next year in the back-field. Krug, Center “Cap” held down a hard position with due credit throughout the season. His passing was swift and accurate, his blocking like that of a stone wall, and at offensives he was a fast and dangerous man. “Cap” is a hard fighter and can be relied upon to work hard for his old position next year. Greene, Left End Bruce played a fine game and could do his share of grabbing passes. As a tackier he was in on most of the opponents’ plays and down on the punts. Bruce was the only man to meet with hard luck. During the Beloit game he had his right elbow fractured. This accident put him out for the rest of the season. We hope to see “Tubby” back again next year. Reese, Right Guard Evan played a hard, fast game throughout the season. From start to finish he was in the game for all there is in it. Evan plays a clean and sportsmanlike game. He blocked well and succeeded in breaking through the opposing line. Evan will not be back on next year’s squad. Zeloff, Fullback When it comes to hitting the line, leave it to Lawrence. He hits like a battering-ram and produces the same effect. Many a time his playing and “never-give-up-fighting” spirit have brought cheers from the grand stand and yards for the team. Zeloff will be out again next year to defend Central. Engel, Full Back “Bud” played a good, hard game of football. With head low, body crouched, and short quick steps, Bud could “stab” through center or over guard for a yardage every time. On defensive he could always be relied upon to back up the center of the line, and many a play of the opponents he stopped in his section of the field. Albert graduates in June. 108 109 THE BASKETBALL SEASON OF 1924 As soon as the football season was over, Coach Howard Johnson put in his first call for basketball candidates. This was answered by about seventy-five men. After a few weeks, however, the squad was cut down to a workable number. The first game of the season came on December 20, 1923, with our old rival, Beloit. The game showed that the squal w'ould make a good showing for the oncoming season although we had to play two over-time periods to win, 18-17. The next game, which was w'ith Stoughton, proved to be a great surprise to many. With the team in the best of condition, our players left for Stoughton at four o’clock. Then came the game. After fighting furiously all through both it and the three over-time periods, neither team was able to win. The final score was a 16-16 tie. On January 18, Kenosha came up here to Madison, confident of victory. They were very husky and fast lads, but soon after the game started, Dunn showed the Kenosha boys how to score. When the final whistle blew', Central was on the long end of a 32-14 score. On January 19, the day following the Kenosha game, our team journeyed to Beloit to play their second game with us. Beloit, still blistering under the defeat handed to them by our team, was out to win by any possible way. Beloit led at the half, 8-6, but Central came back strong and cinched the game with a 13-12 score. Our next game was with Waukesha, who had a veteran team and came up here to avenge the defeat Central had handed them the year before. After a close game throughout, Central emerged the victor by a score of 15-9. Poynette was the first game to be played after the second semester had begun, and it proved very successful. With Fenton Parker back in the line-up the team was strengthened somewhat although he had not mastered the game fully. Without being endangered by the Poynette team, Central had an easy win, and the final score was 44-12. 110 I© • I YCnOBGRBm • After our great victory over Poynette, Racine High was next on the books to play. After a week of hard work, our team went to Racine, fought a hard battle, played superior ball, but lost in two over-time periods by a 30-28 score. Our next game was with Wisconsin High for the city championship. This was the biggest game of the year for the student body. Not being used to the University gym, and being outplayed somewhat, Central lost a hard-fought battle, 18-12. On February 28 we met our rival, Stoughton. Both teams were out for the win and to get the victory for the 16-16 tie, which both teams had been unable to break in an earlier game of the season. After getting the jump on Stoughton at the beginning of the game and playing good basketball, Central came out on the long end of a 27-11 score. Saturday, March 1, brought the strong Sheboygan High School team to Madison. The boys were of very good size, except for one man, and Central knew that a hard tussle was in store for them. After the game started, however, Central showed that speed counted more than weight, and trounced the Sheboygan five, 22-16. On Friday, March 7, the next biggest game of the year was played with East Side High School. Still stinging under the defeat in basketball last year and football this year, the East side team was out to win. From start to finish the game was full of thrills, but on account of the defensive power of both teams a small score resulted. At the end of the first half the score w’as 4-2 in Central’s favor; when the final wrhistle blew, Central emerged the victor by an 8-6 score. On the very next day our team met the strong La Crosse team, which came dowTn here thinking of an easy victory. La Crosse piled up a fair score in the first quarter, which our team could not come within. Although a brilliant rally was staged, it came too late. Central outpointed the La Crosse outfit 7-6 in the last three quarters and also outplayed them. This game was the first time Central had been defeated on our home floor. The final score was 16-9 in favor of La Crosse. This wras the largest score run up on the local team. Lynaugh Sander Dunn____ Sandell _ Parker Krug — Tripalin .

On account of a new ruling, “Mike’s” free throwing ability was not of great use to him so that basket shooting from the floor held him back somewhat. “Mike” has one more year to play. We anticipate a first class forward position for him then on the next year’s team. “Pat” Lynaugh, forward or guard, was a man from the last year’s squad, although not a letter man. “Pat” proved that he was capable of holding down his position. He was a good shot as well as a very good floor man, and his opponent who guarded him always had a hard time to keep track of him. As “Pat” graduates this year, another good man will be lost. “Phil” Sandell played guard in this, his first year with the Central team. “Phil” was often smaller than his opponents, but his “fight” and ability to take a great many bumps and punishments kept him in the game. He could also dribble and pass well. “Phil” has another year with the squad; he should then develop into a first class guard. “Fent” Parker, center or guard, came back to the squad after the end of the first semester. His return strengthened the squad considerably. Parker was a regular last year, but ineligibility kept him out the first semester. His floor work was very good, and his ability to dribble down the floor past the guards was what accounted for many baskets. “Fent” also is a senior. This makes the fourth position to be filled next year. Captain “Pete” Dunn, center, guard or forward, and captain of the basketball squad for the 1923-1924 season, was one of the two veterans back from last year’s squad. “Pete” used good team play at all times. As Dunn is a senior this year, his position will have to be filled by some other man next year. “Bill” Gernon, forward, who also was ineligible during the first semester and who played for the first time this year with Central, proved to be one of the other mainstays of the team. Although he did not get in every game, he fought hard in the games he did take part in and could be counted upon to make a few baskets. “Bill”, like many of the others, also is a junior and will be able to play with the team next year. 112 is • I YCnOBCRRnn • m- 113 a© • IYCnOB€P,Rm • Z4- “Fishy” Sander, forward, who this year played for the first time with the Central team, did good work. As a shooter he was a capable man and led his team mates in that respect. In many of the close games, the floor work of the team in getting the ball down to the basket and then giving it to “Fishy” accounted for many close wins. It is too bad that “Fishy” is a senior, for he would help next year’s squad a great deal. “Cap” Krug, guard, played for the first time with the Central team in 1923-24 and proved that with a little more knowledge of the game he may become a very good guard. Although the return of Parker put Krug on the bench, we believe that next year he will be able to hold down the position left vacant by “Fent”. This is “Tubby” Greene’s first year in basketball at Central. Bruce played forward in all his games and could be counted upon to help boost up the scoring column. Although handicapped a trifle by his injury during the football season, “Tubby” rounded into shape and added to the list of men available when others were taken out of the game. “Tubby” has another year left, making another forward position available for the next year’s squad.

A new record was made by our men in lowering their own indoor relay mark by one and two-fifths seconds. Our outdoor practice got a late start. About fifty-five men reported, only two of this number being last year’s letter men, Zilisch and Larson. In the class meet, which followed shortly after practice began, the seniors won a complete victory; the juniors placing second; the sophomores, third; and the freshmen, fourth. On May second the team went to Whitewater, and although they failed to repeat last year’s work, they gained third place. Our city rival, East High, won first. On the following day at Madison a few men were entered in the Inter-State Relay Carnival. The strain of the previous day was too much for our boys; and Larson, who placed second in the broad jump, was our only representative to win a medal. On the tenth of May eight boys made the trip to the Marquette Relay at Milwaukee. Here again we failed to do much although we placed second in the four-lap relay and got a third in the high jump. THE MARQUETTE RELAYS On May 10, Central participated in the Marquette Relays. In one of the most thrilling races of the meet our team secured second place in the four-lap relay. This team was composed of Larson, Parkin, Zilisch, and Parker. Our shuttle relay team placed third in its heat but failed to win in the finals. The members of this team were Parker, Larson, Edwards, and Zilish. In the special events Dunn, who won third in the high jump, was the only man to place. 119 MARQUETTE MEDLEY RELAY TEAM The Marquette Relays are held by the Marquette University at Milwaukee, and the Medley Relay is one of a number of the special relays held. This particular Medley or mixed relay was made up of two 220 yard runs, run by Frank Doyle and Harry Zilisch, one 440 yard run, run by Paul Pendergast, and one 880 yard run, run by Gordon Hansen. The 1023 “Ty” had gone to press before this picture was taken; therefore it didn’t get into last year’s Athletic section. But because this group did the almost impossible by defeating our old rivals, the Milwaukee school, and also because it enriched our trophy case by adding one more beautiful silver loving cup, this year’s Athletic Editor deemed it worthy of recognition. Incidentally it also set a record at Milwaukee, a most unheard-of feat for a Madison high school track team. INDOOR RELAY CARNIVAL On March 9, 1924, the Central High School indoor relay team for the fourth time won the high school relay race at the University of Wisconsin Indoor Relay Carnival. The team was composed of Harry Zilisch, Ed Larkin, Ralph Parkin, and Phil Larson, who established a new record for high school teams by covering eight laps in 2 minutes 25 2 5 seconds. This time is 2 2 5 seconds less than the former record. 120 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Owing to the division of the sophomore and junior classes into A and B teams, the basketball schedule this year was very complicated. For the first time in the history of the school, the girls coming from Randall after the first semester and the Vocational girls competed with the Central girls’ teams. Through a process of elimination the 11-b, 11-a, and senior teams survived the fray and waged a hot contest for the championship. By dint of winning a large number of games by unusually large scores, the senior team finally emerged victor.

By taking this club as an example people surely can say, “The modern girl is athletic.’’ The club membership is restricted to sixty girls who must have, to be eligible to the club, at least one point acquired in athletics. The G. A. A. is divided into live groups who compete with each other in games. The captains of the groups are as follows: First semester—Virginia Dodge. Marcella Eierman. Laura Linden. Helen Febock, Lucille Halvorsen. Second semester—Helen Lochner, Helen Zeimet. Dorothy Hinman, Dorothy Fearer. Dorothy Jahr. Points are given to the individual and to the groups for various accomplishments. The girls with the three highest number of points are each to receive an honor ring at the end of the year. The group with the lowest score must give an entertainment for the others. Several parties were given during the year for the members. On April 11th the club presented a pageant, “The Conflict’’ in the boys’ gym. 124 • • o .Xm •- ; m f . v'' ■ . i .. ••• v • f yv c raft . ■ : izi '• V. • .v■ 4W v-r. •.� . : % • •y • • Ifi I ' .

The setting sun shone with golden splendor on the Golden Gate and gave it that beautiful luminous copper tint from which it derives its name. “But I don't wanna,” wailed Art. “You’ve gotta,” shrieked York, raising a menacing axe above his head. “Yes, yes, you must,” insisted John. “It's a sign of civilization, and we renounce everything like that—we’re through!” “Yep, Mr. Barnes and the girls did it (sob, sob). They made us give up everything. We’ll show ’em!” chimed in York. “All right,” sighed Art, and with a fond farewell look he threw his last stick of gum overboard. For a long time they sat in silence, wrapped in thought; and slowly the night enveloped them. Ah! the night! the dark throbbing night! Nothing is worse than a night in San Francisco Bay. York and John soon swung in their hammocks and fell asleep. Not so with poor Arthur. His thoughts were of the past. He thought of the old days of Central High, of the money spent at Paltze’s, and of his lost romances. But no, they were gone—gone forever, as was the soothing flavor of Black Jack gum. He thought of the future. He was about to enter a new world with new interests. Tomorrow at dawn they would sail. How would they get the boat started? Would the owner miss the boat? He paced to and fro across the narrow decks.. He looked with a seaman’s eye at the moon as she emerged from behind a bank of clouds. Outlined against her dim light, he saw a motor boat full of girls go racing by. “Eight belles,” he remarked as he gazed from beneath his palm. Suddenly he heard a splash—he jumped back— For a moment all was silent; then slowly over the gunwale appeared a head followed by a pair of massive shoulders, a pair of legs, and finally a pair of feet. Arthur stood aghast. There on the deck before him out- (Continued on page 158) 156 is • lYCHOBCRFOl • m- THE ATTIC! AH, THE ATTIC! The shadows of night descended slowly upon the city. Through the drizzle of rain, the twinkle of many lights could be seen as they were turned on here and there. Silently I made my way over the wet pavement until I came to a large building. All was dark. I shuddered as I stepped cautiously up and tried the door. It opened. I was in luck. For a long time I climbed stairs, flight after flight. “Ah,” thought I, “the attic, the attic.” What an apt word. I repeated it mumbling it to myself as I ascended. The attic,—how close to heaven. Lord, what a sinner I was. “Would he still be there?” I asked myself. A feeling of dread came over me as I realized my mistake. Would it still be there? Here, I reached the final landing. I lighted my candle and entered the room. The flickering light made ghost-like figures on the wall. Slowly I turned towards the corner where I had left it. I could dimly make out its form in the surrounding shadows. I placed the candle on the table and setting my jaws in grim determination, moved over to where it lay. A shudder passed through me as I grasped one of its cold clamy legs and carried it to the table. After straightening out its cramped limbs as best I could, I stepped back to survey it. It looked ghastly in the dim, flickering light of the candle. An odor arose from it, the same as one smells, or imagines he smells, in a morgue, or better, precisely the same odor as that which rises from the bodies in science hall. The eyes were open, but set in a wild, glassy stare, like those of a madman. Nothing but a terrible death could have caused them to set thus. “Ha, ha,” laughed I fiendishly—too well I knew it. The sound of my voice startled me, and the fear of discovery prompted me to finish my task. With a chuckle of fiendish glee I took out my knife and proceeded to sharpen it on my shoe. The glint of the bright blade reflected in its glassy eyes, and it seemed to watch me in my work. My hand trembled slightly as I bent down to cut. Suddenly upon the awful stillness broke a long, weird, almost human cry. I straightened stiff with fear, but as quickly relaxed. “Cats!” said I with disdain, and my lips curled in a cynical sneer as I continued with my work. From then on, all was silent save the snap of a muscle or tendon as I severed it, or the scrape of the knife on a bone. I worked on in this manner for about half an hour, taking down notes here and there. Then wiping off my knife and putting it away, I said with a sigh of relief, “Well, Mr. Frog, Mrs. Perkins will certainly be pleased when she gets this back work on your anatomy, but I hope that she doesn’t find out how I got it.” Gordon Hansen Lines of history oft remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And by asking silly questions, Take up all the teacher’s time. 157 HOBOKO (Continued from page 156) lined by the dim light of the moon was the dripping figure of “Shorty” Goddard. The crease had left his white duck trousers. “I wanta go, too,” he cried in a pleading voice. His chest rose and fell spasmodically from his recent exertions; and his breath came in short, fiierce snorts. Arthur was speechless. He moved over and awoke York. “Boo! hoo! Mr. Barnes wouldn’t let me play marbles in the hall,” said Shorty dejectedly. This sad speech softened York. “All right.” he growled, “get aft, or wherever it is that the crew is supposed to get, and let me sleep.” “Aye, Aye!” replied Shorty as he snuck one last longing look towards the city and went to his quarters. The morning dawned—a dreary sunless day. On their leeboard side was an impenetrable bank of fog, and on the starboard side was the endless waste of blue water rising and falling like the price of butter. With the same periodic exactness rose and fell the chests of the sleepers as they lay in their hammocks dreaming of cocoanuts and palm trees and sharks. Towards the stern of the boat at the wheel stood Shorty, apparently in deep thought. He first consulted the compass; then took the spy glass and gazed off into the nothingness. Apparently satisfied, he gave the wheel another notch and secured it. Then assuming a position of care-free exhiliaration, as a dog howling at the moon, he sang this song: “A yo! ho! ho! ho! ho! ho! ho! A roving we will go! go! go! Among the seven South Sea Isles, Where bananas grow and the Koo Koo smiles. For we’re the bunch from Central High, We’re the bunch from Central High, etc—” At this inspirational burst of melody, York, John, and Arthur awoke and raised themselves on their elbows simultaneously. “Where are we?” they asked in a chorus. “I dunno,” replied Shorty indifferently. “Some place out on the ocean, I guess.” “Where did you learn to sail a boat?” asked York in amazement and joy. “I haven’t been listening to A1 Pieh tell stories about his sailboat for nothing,” replied Shorty with disdain. “Fine,” said York. “Now I’ll be captain and—” “Captain nuthin,” interposed Arthur. “You’ll be cook.” “I’ll be just a plain first-class passenger if you please,” said John. “When will you serve breakfast?” “Who said breakfast?” yelled Shorty as he came forward with a hungry look in his eyes and his tongue hanging down to his shoulders. The tropical sun beat mercilessly down from the translucent sky. As far as the eye could reach, nothing could be seen but the endless waste of glassy water reflecting the blinding glare of the sun. Not a thing moved. The schooner “Snort” lay there, inanimate, like a fly speck on a looking glass exposed to the morning sun. 158 1© • lYCnOBCPJPOl • 24- “Seven days, an’ we ain’t moved a inch” mused Shorty. “0 Lord, be merciful!” “Water, water, every where,” sighed John, as though he might have been learning a memory passage. “Why don’t she go?” asked Arthur in his childish way. “Why don’t elephants fly?” answered York with paternal aloofness. “Phew! what makes that awful odor?” enjoined John. “Hugh!” sneered Shorty, disgusted at his ignorance, “don’t you know what that is?” Why, that’s the dead calm on the water.” “Oh!” replied John, awed by his great knowledge. Suddenly it grew dark; and huge, ominous, black clouds began to do nose dives and other stunts in the sky. “That must have been the calm before the storm,” suggested John timidly. Before any one could reply the ocean seemed to leap up like pupils at the sound of the noon bell. The wind howled, and the waves rose and dashed down in white spray over the brave little ship. “Into the top sheets, and double reef that main sail,” Shorty had come to the rescue with his seaman’s knowledge. York ran bewilderedly to the front of the ship and yelled. “I don’t see any reefs, let alone double ones.” “How can we get into the top sheets when they are away up there?” asked John a little more intelligently. “Why, we would fall out of them anyhow.” “All right,” screamed Shorty turning purple with rage, “you three fellows hold this wheel right where it is.” While the trio held the wheel. Shorty scrambled into the top sheets and began to reef the mainsail. Suddenly he felt the ship give a terrible lurch, and nearly lost his hold. Below him the deck was a scene of confusion. The wheel was spinning one way and then another, and his companions were nowhere to be seen. Looking out over the heaving sea, he saw three black dots—his friends? He turned pale with fear. Just then another mountain of water struck the ship, and Shorty was precipitated into the black depths below. Upon coming to the surface, Shorty shook the salty brine from his eyes and looked for his friends. He saw them nearby, clinging to a wrecked life-boat, and quickly joined them. The next morning, as the sun was comiing out of the calm ocean Shorty cried, “Land, Ho!” “Oh garden rake!” replied York in disgust. “But, I say, I believe our worthy companion is right,” responded John. “Sure as I ever wore side burns!” exclaimed Arthur as he shook himself free of the wreckage and swam for shore. It was land indeed. A beautiful green spot in the vast waste of ocean. They gaily deserted the mass of wood which had kept them from the sharks and whales, and raced madly ashore. York sat on the narrow beach singing out his joy. Arthur also displayed his gay spirits, although his long growth of beard somewhat hampered his dancing.

She was as good, as good can be; In fact, she was so very good That many a teacher’s pet was she. She never talked without consent, And never, never, was she late, She never did by pure intent The many things that teachers hate. But hark, my brothers, as ye go, And listen to this tale of woe. ’Twas late one summer afternoon, The sun was lowering in the sky When on the desert far away A lady fair gave forth a sigh. The lady said, “Oh, my! Oh, me! I wish that I could find a tree; I’d climb it quick as quick could be.” And then in answer to her wish A tree on the horizon loomed. And she made for it with a bound As though she were a woman doomed. And such was very near the case, For at the bottom of the tree A hungry lion leaped in glee. The lion roared, “Ha! ha! hee! hee! I chased a lady up a tree. I’ll hang aroung until tonight; The lady’s sure to fall asleep, And then, of course, she’ll lose her seat. Ha! ha! hee! hee! I’ll have some meat.” The lion raised his drowsy eyes; The East was turning gray. The stars were fading from the skies, And it wavS dawning day. The lion looked up at the tree Through mist of morning gray, And with his bulging eyes did see An angel fly away. Be good, my friends, be good, be good. For if it had been you, Could you have killed yourself and turned Into an angel, too? 160 Gordon Hansen t© • i YcnoBCRBnn • 2.4- THE HAIR AND THE COMB At home in Willie Whistle’s house The mother rules supreme. And that her son was led astray She wouldn’t even dream. For she had brought him up with care And often used the whip If he should fail to act his best Or let a vile word slip. And so when he to high school got He was a perfect lad; And girls and teachers liked him, for He never acted bad. So once when little Betty Flap Forgot to bring her comb, She went and asked the lad for his, Since hers was still at home. Without a pause the gentle Will Gave her his celluloid— For laws of health in such a case Were to him null and void. She used the comb and gave it back And Willie quite forgot About the little incident As, pray tell, who would not? But late at night, when little Will Was gently tucked in bed, His mother saw his wrinkled coat, And this is what she said, “Now this school coat that William wears Is wrinkled past all doubt. So I will fast apply the iron And get these creases out.” And so the pockets she went through And found the comb in there. She took it out and from it drew A soft, long, curly hair. “O what is this, and what is that?” The mixed up mother said, “And why should Willie have a hair Like this one in his head? Now Willie’s hair is very dark, And this is very light. His hair is short, and this is long— It really don’t seem right. And Willie's hair is very straight, And this one has a curl. I’m very much inclined to think It belongs to a girl.” Now Willie Whistle surely was In a most touchy plight 161 S • lYCnOBCRlRrm • 24- And did some hard explaining, too, On that most awful night. So, boys, don’t lend your combs to girls, For surely you can see That you may find yourself some day In such a plight as he. Gordon Hansen Fay Durlin THE RUG AND THE BROOM One sunny day, a broom did play Across a rug of brown; First northward swish’d, then southward swish’d. And then swish’d up and down. In its dismay, the rug did say, “I wish you’d have a heart. It makes me weep, to feel you sweep My weavings all apart.” The broom then said and tossed its head, “Behave like this I must. Work will be done—I call this fun!” The brown rug answered, “Dust?” So without care, the broom did wear The poor down trodden thing The rug lay flat, for it knew that A broom must have its fling. For many a day, the broom did play And cheerfully swish’d about With sweeping rhymes, but in a time The straws came falling out. Then did it screech and loud beseech The rug to use its power The broom to keep from rubbish heap, Just for a single hour. The brown rug smiled and answered mild, “My child, you paid no heed To my poor cry when I did lie In anguish and in need.” It went to sleep, and on the heap The broom was thrown to die. So now, my lads and fellow grads, (You see the reason why) Be quick to bend, and help a friend. At aches and pains don’t scoff; Just help him out, without a doubt, But never dust him off. 162 Fay Durlin � • lYcncBCREim • s.4- TO A FRESHMAN Oh little freshman, green and small, What makes you hurry so?

We all thought, “Well, thank goodness, that’s the last we’ll hear about writing for the “Ty!” But, no—would you believe it? The English teachers have kept nagging at us ever since, and they have actually launched a campaign for the “Ty” Board! Have you ever heard of anything so absolutely unspeakable and unutterably abnominable? Well, I never have! To think of their picking on us poor, hardworking pupils—well there are simply no words to express my disgust! If the “Ty” Board want stories, why don’t they write some themselves? What’s a “Ty” Board for, anyway— to loaf around and let other people do the work? Look at the result! Because of their laziness we poor pupils are compelled to write an interesting, funny, snappy, exciting, grammatically correct, properly punctuated, neatly written, paragraphed story! It is simply too outrageous! Can one get inspiration from a book of Cicero’s Orations, or from Greever and Jones’ “Century Handbook of Writing”? Impossible! I defy anybody to do it, and I would suggest that, if the “Ty” Board has any compassion on the pupils of this school, they repeal this harsh law! With this humane suggestion I close this—my story! Julia Dodge, ’25 Oh he is bitten! bitten! all is lost; His beauty’s marred—he’s bitten by the frost.

And who but Abe would have a chance, to win He of the sandy locks—the forceful chin ? Oh, he is bitten! bitten by the frost! So let us pause and weep for beauty lost.

The other three started forward in unison. “Get away from that tree, you bum!” yelled York; and the obedient Shorty shrank back into some bushes. “Eeeek!” came a strange voice from under his heel. Shorty turned an ashy hue and fell stiff with fright at the feet of the other tree. “I et’s go back to the boat,” trembled York. “No! They’d think we were afraid!” shuddered Arthur. “Besides, the boat has sunk,” said John, pointing to the emerald waters, which sparkled behind them. And sure enough, only the occasional spouting of a whale broke upon the emptiness of the surface. “Then let’s send Shorty into the bushes to get that thing out of there!” “Ooooo!” moaned Shorty, getting whiter. A silence settled upon the nervous group. Only the gibbering of monkeys from the nearby jungles, and the occasional roar of a lion and croak of a crocodile broke upon the sweet lull. Suddenly the bushes moved. “Ha! Ha!” roared a voice, and up rose a man of gigantic stature. Then several things happened. Shorty sprang forward with a fingernail file, the sun set, and the man started to laugh. Shorty reached for his throat, but the man tossed him into a nearby palm tree. The moon rose, and still the mighty frame rocked to and fro with glee. York, John, and Arthur stood there, paralyzed with fear, and Shorty struggled in the tree. At twelve o’clock midnight (Standard South Sea time) the laughter stopped, and the man fell to the ground. The trio rushed up and found that he had laughed himself to death. “I made him laugh; so I killed him,” said York boastfully. “You aren’t so funny; it must have been I,” stated John. “I know I did it,” said Arthur and with a yawn he lay down and went to sleep. York and John, relieved from the great strain and fatigued from the many hours spent in the watch, did likewise. When they awoke again it was near dawn. They were lying on the edge of a clearing on the other side of which was a village, composed of a dozen or so thatched huts. John was the first to speak. “Oh!” he exclaimed, “where is Shorty?” He attempted to stretch, but discovered that he was bound hand and foot, as were his companions. Hearing a noise, he looked up. Towering over him, was one of the natives armed to the teeth and decked in his war paint. The native looked down at them as a farmer looks at his prospective Thanksgiving turkey. An hour or so passed, and the animals of the jungle began to stir. A large boa constrictor sliding through the tall grass paused a moment to raise its head, glance at them indifferently, and pass on. A huge, black lion out looking for his breakfast noticed them. He walked unconcernedly over to York, sniffed of him and walked away with an air of disgust.

There was much commotion and evidence of excitement and many of the natives came over and gazed longingly at the prisoners. The afternoon waned, and soon the dusk began to settle on the jungle. A huge fire was lighted in the middle of the clearing where was gathered a group of brightly painted warriors. Suddenly Arthur sat up straight. A ghastly expression came over his face, and he cried in a wavering voice. “Cannibals!” The realization was supplemented by the boom of the big drum and the beginning of the weird dance of death around the fire. The dancers chanted monotonously in a minor key, and swayed back and forth to the rhythm of the drum. Soon the hoys were carried and thrown near the fire.

During a pause in the dance Shorty spoke in low tones to the trio. “You are going to be eaten, he said. “Yes, we gathered that. answered Arthur. “But maybe I can save you, continued Shorty as he cut the bonds on York’s hands and feet; but alas! before he could do more, they were discovered and the natives were upon them. Nevertheless Shorty succeeded in getting away. He ran directly for the big drum and seizing the drum-stick from the hands of the present drummer, began to drum the “Funeral March .

Shorty pleaded with the king, who not wishing to seem discourteous and impolite to so wonderful a drummer, but at the same time desiring the feast, said: “Kill ‘Emo the Mighty our great enemy, and bring his body back within half an hour and you shall be free.” Shorty, recognizing Emo as the man who had laughed himself to death, agreed to do this. He disappeared and at the appointed time returned dragging the dead body of Emo. The natives were so stunned, they fell on their hands and knees in thanks. The king, recognizing his superior in Shorty, very • solemnly and reverently removed his crown of shark’s teeth and placed it upon Shorty’s head.

This leader of men was now recognized. Later he was known as “Shorty, The King of The Jungle.” He is greatly loved by all the Animals. The Elephants play catch with him by throwing him from one to another, and he enjoys it very much, being still a child. He plays hide-and-seek with the monkeys in the trees and rides around on the backs of the great black lions who guard him jealously. When swimming he rides on the backs of the alligators and crocodiles, and the sharks and whales pull him from island to island in his little canoe. The great birds of the jungle carry him to the tops of the volcanoes and on sight-seeing tours. He is indeed a King.

The soul-starved natives enjoy it. Arthur has started a newspaper for which there is great demand. He can now be seen at any time as he has often been seen at Central with an exalted expression on his face, a stack of palm leaves under his arm, and a quill pin and bottle of blackberry ink in his hand walking merrily through the jungle delivering his papers. John Parkinson has kept steadfastly to the realm of the intellectual and is writing a book answering the perplexing question of “What is the most intelligent expression man can assume?” After much study and observation John has decided that the most intelligent expression assumed by man is that which appears on his fare when he shaves his upper lip.
