Some Combination One day in june Calvin went to the printing office to have a bit of news put into the paper. You can, of course, guess that it was about his wedding feast. But it happened that the editor had had something better to drink than water, and as he had an auction to advertise at that time also, he got the two mixed and this is what became of the two :- A happy auction took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Becker as they had their daughter tied to Calvin Fredricks with a sixty foot rope. Rev. Gilbert Arnold had the wedding ceremony and was at the same time auctioneer. After the ceremony the happy couple went to the barn, where fresh cows were served with hay. For dessert they had ice-cream which was sprinkled with clover seeds. After having enjoyed the evening in the pigs pen, they got ready for their honey moon. Calvin said he'd cut the buttons off his coat and put them into the pocket. It won't be so heavy then, he said to his wife. fOf course Calvin always had such bright ideasj. The great morning of their honey moon arrived. They started on their trip in a baby crriage. But on the way this broke down, so they had to continue the journey in a wheel barrow. They passed many brick yards and Calvin thought sure he was seeing some of the Great Yellow Stone Park. This trip was remembered by both Marie and Calvin. We are all sure they will have a happy future. MATHILD.A Dmrkrcu, '27 A Senior Mr. Schuler is a Senior boyg Who goes by the well known name of Roy. But better known to us as Schuppg He never did or will give a whoop. A great teaser of bashful girlsg His greatest pleasure to pull their curls. 'Tis true he ne'er is seen by anyone. But what he's teasing someone. He is easly recognized from afarg By his greased Stay-comb pompadour, And his round gogglesg with mouth wide open, He strutts around town as if unknown. But just the same, Shupp's a good old scoutg Even if he's slippery as a trout, He helps those who are in trouble If he in return is paid double. Page Fifty-five

Never Again It was the night before Hallowe'en, when Edward Unger decided to play some boyish pranks in his neighborhood. He decided to scare everybody in Lannon and so got a sheet and dressed as a ghost. He intended to go over to the home of Franz' Schneider first. When he was about a half block from the house, he saw Franz go into the barn. Creeping slowly on his stomach he went under the kitchen window to see if there was anyone at home. He had just barely got there when Mrs. Schneider appeared. Seeing Edward, she grabbed a pail of dish water and threw it all over Unger. Edward, being com- pletely drenched, decided to go into the barn and dry, entirely forgetting that Franz was still within. Franz seeing him come, thought him to be one of his father's white cows. So he took a fork and stuck him, saying, Get in there, you bum. This was too much for poor Unger, so he ran home howling like a dog all the way. When Franz found out that it was not a cow, he went into the house and told his mother what had occurred. She then told him how she met the stranger and both had a hearty laugh. Neither Franz nor his mother knew what the strange ghost was until the following morning when Edward drove past Schneider's place standing up in the car and groan- ing something. Little Edward was through with Hallowe'en tricks for life, for he had ruined his best pair of pants and had to stand up while sleeping for the next two weeks following. Albert Brandenburg, '25. A Budding Romance fTime 1926J ,,:i I- WO former students of the M. F. H. S., namely, Dorothy Back and Herbert Eg' 3 Henrich, were very cute, though each had an awful blemish, being exception- ally shy and bashful. No one could seemingly understand why, but Dorothy - 'M loved him dearly. Often you could see them in a peculiar mood, pondering over the question, How can we overcome our bashfulness ? One dark night when Herbert was coming down Third Street with his old Dodge, he saw his opportunity. He put on the brakes and made the car come to a complete stop, for right there on the same street was Dorothy! Will you ride with me, Dorothy? he asked shyly. QYou see it was dark and neither one saw the other one blush., After ten or fifteen minutes Herbert opened the conversation by asking, Isn't this an ideal night for a spin ? Dorothy could be heard saying, Y-yesf' After this eventful night they became better acquainted and were often seen in each other's company. Herbert thought Dorothy was a charming young lady, and asked for a date to the Wisconsin Theater. ' She said, I will if mother consents. They went out together so much after that that the springs in the car were soon worn out. But true love never runs smoothly-for one night at the show he flirted with another beautiful lady. This developed into a real scrap. Later Herbert vowed that he would never do it again, and Dorothy was quite willing to forget the past. After several bashlful attempts, he finally managed to pop the question C you see she was so shocked, she consentedl and they were married in June, and lived happily ever after, HVXZEL JOECKS, '26, 'QP' Page Fifty-four
