Freshman H istory. On September 12, ’04, at about 8 o’clock in the morning fifteen very intellectual looking children entered the high school room. At their head stalked a young giant with auburn hair. You probably recog Ip nize in this youth no other than “Dutch” Brockway, now a sailor boy. Under his arm he carried a slate, CQ t 1 sponge and a speller. Closely following their leader 2 came a troop of girls some having a hold of hands and every one eith- er eating peanuts or chewing gum. The rear was brought up by two studious looking gentlemen, Kellogg and Gilbert. Hall was industri- ously studying a book, “How to Act in the High School,’’while Georgit? was eating Mellen’s Food. Mr. von Beseler conducted each one to his seat and set them to work copying a sentence which he wrote on the board. For the first month or two the Freshies did not settle down to hard study. They could not understand how anyone could sit up at night and study, but they soon became used to it and towards the last of the year some of the Freshies developed - into fine scholars. “Dutch” distinguished himself on numerous occasions by his oratory. In the scientific field the class is represented by George Gilbert, an an electrician of skill. George can also climb flag poles. Eunice Gil- bert, Bessie Phelps, Mildred Dayton, Evata Winans, Florence Quayle, Gladys Thomas and Gladys Kimball represent the class in the musical line. We wish to compliment the class on the number of muscians. Hall Kellogg is the athletic representative of the class, being a base- ball player of much importance. Some people have an idea that ‘ ‘Runt’ ’ Hull belongs to the freshman class on account of his lihputian stature and because he is seen a gsat deal of the time with the girls of the class. This is a wrong idea as “Runt” is a Soph, (see the Soph his- tory for particulars) When the Sophomores and Seniors were out of school on account of class fights, George Gilbert also left school and became chief engi- neer of the Soph-Senior organization. The Freshman class is the largest in the High School and if they all continue to attend school and finish the course it will be.one of the largest classes ever graduat- ed here. George Gilbert and Frank Brockway did not finish this year, but they expect to return next fall and to resume their studies. Keep at it little Freshies, study hard and you will all be great men and reat women some day. Class Yell. Rah! Rah! Rah! Sir! We want our Ma, Sir! Class Colors : Red and White.

I FOOD FOR VULTURES. one must have a certain amount of selfishness of soul and prejudice of heart, and many others all which were long ago set aside by the in- telligent in life as being unfair, unjust, unkind and uncharitable, hence have been branded,—obsolete, relics of a civilization more bar- borous and less fraternal than is this. We reserve our final word for the discussion of the child whom the parent allows to do as he pleases,and whom the parent wants to do as the child pleases in school and other-wheres. They never succeed in life. They always fail, for it is an eternal law of heaven that they who have never learned to obey shall never be permitted to command. Why not, then, should he not be relined when he comes home instead of sympathizing with him. What can be expected of him when he re- turns to school the next day? Only further disobedience and further trouble,—only further preparation for the down fall that awaits him sooner or later. And this might apply to a girl also. Reconciliation. A Comedy in One Act Scene—Prof's office. Prof, seated at desk. Enter—H. Wood, timidly. Prof, sternly—“Harold why did you go to the ball game yesterday?” Wood—“Mr. von Beseler, I am awfully sorry. I will never do it again.”—Tears, etc., etc. Prof.—“All right, if you will be good after this I will let you go this time.” Smiles—Hand shaking. Exit Wood—Exit Prof. Bartholomew Potter, FURNITURE Correction. A correction in the high school course for next year is made be- low.

Perry Sparr is negotiating with the merchants at Cork to accept the position of a walking fashion plate. At the telephone—“Hello, is this Bailey and Ensign’s store?” “Yes.” “Is Lawrence Hull there?” “No.” “Have Winans a phone?” There little Freshies don’t cry. You’ll be Seniors bye and bye. Standish during exams— “My kingdom for a “horse” ! Sparr playing baseball—“Hey, you fellows! Who’ll hold my money?” Standish—“I will.” Sparr handing him three cents— “Be awful careful of it.” Things we are thankful for. That school is out. That Prof, had his mustache cut. That this is our last issue of the Forum.—The Editors. Ditto—Ditto—Ditto—The print- ers. Haven’t you noticed that wings are beginning to grow on Ives and Kellogg? The Junior Class—Ruby and Pearl. H. Wood says that he expects to make the marble team next spring since Sparr will not be at school. Did you ever see “von” on Saf- ford street? If you do, notify H. W ood. “All hail the King”—Mr. von Beseler. In 1905—Student raising his hand—“May I breathe, Mr. von Beseler?” What brand of cigars does the Board use? Threefers! ! ! ! In hot weather a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of ICE CREAM. Also a young girl’s fancy turns to COOLING THINGS! Therefore treat your girl at E. E. ROSE’S The Juniors are industriously studying a new book—“How to act when a Senior.” An unknown mystery—Who cut the flag rope? The Sophs and Seniors might use that old chestnut, “We did it Prof., with our little hatchet.” Another unknow’n mystery— Who cut Prof’s mustache? “I am a sailor lad.” Frank Brock way. Did you ever see the editors with a “biled” shirt on? Did you ever see H. Wood play pool? Or Perry Sparr walk? Or Evertt look pleasant? It ain’t, is it? Ives—“When did you enter school, here, “Runt.” Runt—“On the tenth of Octo- ber.” Ives, scratching his head— “Let me see, what happened on that day? Oh, yes, I remember, that was the day I commenced milking “caows.” Buy an extra copy, this issue, and send it to your friend. Price 15 cents. “Me for Missouri.” “Runt” Hull. “What a shame.” Evata Win- ans. “The long and short of it” Kellogg and “Runt”. It is rumored that von B. is thinking of buying a horse and buggy. Its a horse on you, von, what do you want it for? Did you ever see “Shanks” Kel- logg, the Cardiff Giant, play ball? We wonder if those new teachers for next year are young? Perhaps Prof, von B. knows. But then, w’hy should he? The “Freshie” girls have bought out the shoe stores of Madison re- cently. They are now known as the “Tan Brigade.” H. Wood w’atching the ball game— ‘Gosh, that was a bum play. Now’ if I was only playing, etc., etc.” Hot Air! Runt Hull was appointed carrier boy for the Forum. Dick (Cannon) Evertt. How did you like the Budget? Didn’t you think it was funny? Strock reading the course of study for 1905 6.—“I wonder what they mean by Forensics.” Ives—“Gosh, if I know’, unless its about the Forum.” Sparr has asked permisson of Mr. von Beseler to stay in the school house all summer, in order to read the magazines.
