Congratulations. -o- You are probably as tired of reading those questionmarks' above as I am punching them on the typewriter, soooo, we'll forget about the questions and go in for some facts: -10.- There is many a broken heart at Central since the band tournament picked up its instruments and crept away as quietly and as quickly as it came. ...Q-. Madison, as did Central, rose to the occa- sion and played the part of host to over 5,000 high school students who met at Madi- son to compete in the annual state band tournament. Parades, drills, and concerts, as well as dances and sight-seeing tours of the capitol and the city were among the high- lights of the program for the visitors. -o- ' Then, too, I mustn't forget that apology to Vera Lee, which I owe her.

Speaking of readers of this rag, we just learned the other day that we have at least one parent reader, Mrs. Du Bois. 101. Maybe it's because Olive Nelson and Flor- ence Blake asked me to put it in, or maybe it's just because it's a pretty good joke, and it may be the combination of the two, but anyway, here is the joke.

Thereason our rag is called The Madison Mirror is because this beloved school was once known as the Madison High school? That still may be its name, but it is better known as Central. -.01 And the reason you should be sooo glad today is the fact that this is the last column that you will have to read that will be writ- ten by this columnist. -0-.

In 1927, a Centralite, Ruth Rowe, had the privilege of interviewing the late Dr. Bab- cock? A choice bit that even Betty Cass didn't know of is the answer Dr. Babcock gave to the question, Why didn't you com- mercialize your inventions? He answered smilingly in his own way, I was teaching at the university and using university time so that I thought that my inventions should be given to the state. And then, too, I do not need the money. I have enough. -Ol The Racine Park Beacon is the most looked forward to exchange, with the exception of the West High-Times, by The Mirror staff? 1 ici. . That speaking of West High-Times, we are looking forward to the appearance of their magazine? -o- Although we ran in a story telling who they were in one of our editions of The Mir- ror, a certain group who appear over the radio wouldn't let us use their names in this magazine?

.UTHE ORANGE AND BLACKH. 195 June THE TECHNOCRAT UTOPIA rubbed his eyes yawned and stretched himself luxuriantly between the silken sheets H ope n e d one eye Just wide enough to see the electric clock on the table beside him. Only ten-thirty? Ho hum-mm! No need of getting up for at least an hour yet -so, one hour later the air was disturbed by another of Master Thorvald's deluxe, four horse-power yawns. The young man poked his toes out and regarded them gravely from the depth of several downy feather pillows. Raising his hand a matter of an inch or so, he pulled a cord and picked up a small mouthpiece from the table. Hello, mom! You up already? Yeah, I guess I could stand some breakfast-no, I'm not very hungry. What do I want? Oh, just a couple o' eggs and three or four slices of bacon and a half dozen pieces of toast and some coffee. No, that's all-thanks! Ah shucks! I'm not hungry at all, mom.. Be ready in five min- utes? Oih Kay, mom! Torvald leaned back and refiected on the wisdom of the modern inventors. Take the fellow that thought of this mechanical cook, now - he surely merited a bouquet. A fellow never has to wait for his meal and he always gets whatever he wants - no matter whether it's a ham sandwich or a Do-funny-a-la- thing-a-ma-bob. No burnt biscuits, either- what a break for newlyweds! 14 if 214 UST THEN a tiny bell tingled merrily and a small panel in the wall swung open, revealing a very appetizing meal- no food capsule foolishness, either. But that was not the most interestingg unfolding itself, the shelf moved forward and swung around the bed, halting withintwo inches of the expectant young man's mouth. It's such a shame, he remarked to himself as he laz- ily turned his radio-vision dial, that we can't afford self - f e e d i n g silverware - the Browns have them. An African dancer being his choice for the minute, he watched the brightly-clad girl spin over the ground to the rhythm of weird music while he munched his toast in Madison, Wisconsin, thousands of miles away. ORVALD TECHNOCRATSON I ' . e Q . . The home of the Technocratsons was con- structed mainly of steel and glass-every room was a sun-room, for this was the age of glass houses. The furniture in some of the rooms was all of this same transparent qual- ity--the walls and floors, too, being mirrors. There was a roof-garden, a swimming pool, and all the other conveniences - even a con- servatory. Everything is for convenience- everything - indeed, perhaps the next one of these many buttons Torvald manipulates so beautifully will bring the bath.-tub hopping to his bedside. if ik 'R LITTLE LATER., as he was tying his neck-tie-with his own hands, by the way-he said, Gee, I don't see how D-ad stands it working four hours at day. Still, I suppose we're never satisfied. Why, it says in our history book that way back in good old 1933 people were fussing because they didn't have any work. Such is life. He walked over to his telephone, dia-led a number and picked up the mouthpiece. Hello, Anne, what are ya doin'? Honest? Shucks, why devote your sweet young life to art? Sure I was going to ask you if you would like to ta-ke a jaunt down to Miami Beach this P. M. Ah, can the art, can'-t you? Just think, I haven't seen you since yester- day-Huh?-oh, all right, Ill get someone else, who appreciates two-legged arti' Next, young Torvald tried his luck with Marie-but with the same success. Seems to me an art studio in a pent house is all the modern girl cares about nowadays, growled the jilted lad- and tried another number. Tilly, apparently, was studying Chaucer, Pat was just as zealously practicing her do- re me's,'.' and Louise was tearing her hair on the last chapter of the Great American Novel of 1966. Slowly and painfully the wilted young man- rep-laced the phone for the last time, mechanically he pushed the lavender button that made his bed-and noiselessly glided downstairs on the Banister Elevated. ak bk Pk G6 OM, he said as though he were mumbling a funeral ceremony, Mom, I've ordered the Red Arrow around and I want you to take a spin At first glance these high school boys all look alike but there is a difference. Find the missing link and win a scholarship to the famous College of Live and Learn. One of these galookas may have longer fingernails than the others, or he may part his hair in the middle, or he may even eat grapenuts for breakfast. .-: 22 :- down to Miami with me. Torvald folded up in the glass chair with a sigh and sat wist- fully regarding his orchid thumb-nails. Why, son, exclaimed his mother, looking anxiously at her offspring, are you ill? Oh no, mom, I'd be delighted, and I'd rather have you than anyone else. I've been looking forward to taking you for a week, said Torvald in an ashes-to-ashes-dust-tm dust tone-. Mrs. Technocratson blushed under her rouge and rang for her coat. Did the gentle- man help her put it on? How silly, when the automatic butler had nothing else to do. Heavens, exclaimed Mrs. Technocratson. What's all that commotion about on the street? l It's an extra- probably assassiinated the President again, said Torvald with a mon- strous yawn. James, get us a paper. He could? not undertake the exertion of reading the headlines when the butler gave him the paper, so his mother read them. Gracious me, she cried, the World has declared war on Mars-that means you'l1 have to go because you're twenty-five tomor- row. Poor Torvald looked askance. Tears were in his eyes as he sobbed, Oh, it'll ruin my lovely lavender finger-nails. -JANE FARWELL, ma. if 77 BASKETBALL SEASON iContinued from Page Eighteeni lads, 15-14. Against her other city confer- ence opponent, East High, Central fared much better, defeating them 18-6 and 23-12. During the course of the season the Central team defeated Racine Horlick, 19-18, and lost to Kenosha by the largest score of the season, 43-11. In the District tournament, the Orange and Black met and defieated East for the third time of the year, by a score of 22-8. The next night our boys downed Baraboo, 25-17. Although West was favored to win the tournament, Central turned the tables and eked out a 19-18 victory. The star of the tournament was Bid Smith. It was his flashy work that guaranteed Central a place in the State tournament. After leading its opponent throughout the first half, Central lost its power and lost to Chippewa Falls, 31-15, for its first game of the tournament. The following night our cagers took revenge by defeating Nekoosa, 20-17. As a result of this victory, the Orange and Black met Kenosha as a semi-finalist in the consolation bracket. The only hope of the Centralites was to hold down the score, but the Redmen defeated Central, 29 - 14. Johnny Novick played brilliant ball through- out the tournament.
