FOTCWOTJ THE Point's Propeller is a faithful and assiduous endeavor to record the events of four years of High School life, picturing that life as an aviation field from which we make our flight toward the fu- ture. If in years to come it can stir the hearts and minds of Mineral Point High School men and women and recall more clearly prized mem- ories of friends made and events lived, and if it shows truly the love We hold for Mineral Point High School, then indeed will the purpose and the highest aspirations of the Point Propeller of 1929 be fully attained.

The commander and Chief of the Field Sup't I.. E. Bear proved to be a good instructor all through the year. Except for a few tail-spins his determined efforts brought us to a successful landing. Next in order was I.. Colonel of Flying Corps, George B. Hether- ington. Through his metrological aid, he guided us through the storms and flurries. He was greatly assisted by the marvelously brilliant assist- ance of the Physics class. Mary Harris was especially generous with her help during our Senior year. It was her winning smile and her efforts which made our book possible. Nellie Jeuck our History Flight Instructor was perhaps the most popular of the Instructors. In the trial given as a stunt in a Christmas program she was charged with taking a midnight ride with Santa Claus, so that proves her popularity. She also saw to it that we all understood clearly the first lesson before going on to the second, so in that way she proved her ability as Flight Instructor. Mertice Hanks proves herself very influential, for all the minor acci- dents of the plane are sent to her in an emergency. Elizabeth Smith through her diligent coaching made out of poor pilots, fairly good amateurs, and therefore our play was a financial success. Dale C. Aebischer, the Agrciultural Instructor, piloted a Ford motor car during the flights and sported the ladies around in his winsome manner. Richard Nichlas, our Manual Training Instructor, persistently taught the art of using the hammer and the saw to those willing Stowaways. Lorene Shoenfeld, the music instructor efliciently coached the Glee Clubs until they were trained well enough to present a successful operetta in the planes auditorium. Clarence Kuehl--A Famous Ace, himself-guided our Destinies in many a hard fought aerial dog fight. David Morgan, our science instructor, was very influential in Booster Club and other activities, and will never be forgotten as a great benefactor in our plane. Fthel M. Thiesen, very popular among the pilots, especially on the Geometry plane, is known to be the best of the instructors, in having dis- cipline in the assembly. Bernadine Burghardt, our commercial instructor, mimeographs our final examinations, which determine our future flights. SEVEN min 'FF 1 lg 0 1 Sngmis Seen on Text Boolks 1. Hall of Fame. 2.

'lvl-u ----- --------n--In ----- Class ll'lliistfo1r'y HN a bright September day about four years ago, if one had been for- tunate he might have observed a peculiar happening at the village of Grammar School. An airplane was out in the center of the flying field being put in shape for a flight. This plane was soon to take off upon a journey to the Point High Flying Field. Many mechanics and their aids were putting in supplies, tuning up the motor, testing the rigging, and per- forming many ofthe other minor tasks which must be done before the ship takes tothe air. Amid all this confusion a troop of some forty odd boys and girls- the youth of Grammar Village-came to the field. When they sighted this beautiful silver monoplane in the center of the field they were filled with awe, and many felt a great desire to become aviators. A consulta- tion was held, and all who wished to go decided to stow themselves away on the ship. By devious ways and methods we entered the plane, and many and varied were our hiding places. The take-off was thrilling, and, soon we were sailing through space. In due time we reached the flying field and then we had to make our presence known. We presented ourselves in a body to Commanding Offi- cer Bear, and that worthy gentleman Che must have liked our sweet and innocent facesj decided that we could become members of the school. The instructors at the field gave us many tasks to do, and as a result some of our members decided to end their careers. Algebra was the bogey for many, but they had enough intestinal fortitude not to give up the ship. Many of our members became aids in the carrying out of combats with other schools. Trophies in a great number were won. Our most brilliant performer in the speed contests was a red-headed young chap- Wash Keegan. About the middle of the year some of our members became restless, and after a short deliberation we decided to throw a party. For once we had a chance to raise a little Whoopee and did we ever raise it. The next step was our transfer to mechanics. VVe began to tinker with the motors, and we were becoming more acclimated to our school life. But again we lost a few of our members and became smaller. During this year we played a more important part in the combats, and more and more of our members were winning laurels. But other fields were present and many of our ambitious songsters took to the air to give the angels a thrill. Others of our group became orators and declaimers, filling the heavens with the outbursts of their strenuous efforts. A few became Thespians for a short space of time and again our class held the spotlight. FOURTEEN - .. - - ... - - .. .... - - - - ..,,,-,,+ .g..-.............-..... ... .. ... .. ... -...-..-..- Again during the middle of the year we experienced the same symp- toms which we had felt the year before. Our spirits were becoming so powerful that the safety valve had to be taken off and we proceeded to let off steam. This was the night of the Mechanics Party. Towards the end of the year our members were taken on many test flights and our flight instructors decided that we had advanced far enough to become observers. An observer is one who aids the pilots in their tasks and tries to down the enemy. In this particular branch we achieved great success and did a great deal to further our school. Our members had now decided upon the different things which would occupy their time most. Some took up Shorthand, others took sciences, a few stuck to manual and domestic arts. A large part went out for dramatics and public-speaking, and aided in put- ting many an appropriate program before the Assembly. As htted our part of observers we were to do more and more in the different athletic combats. Football attracted some, but basketball had the best representation of observers. Three of our number won letters QClem, Shorty, and Jim--jim was captain of the teamj. lt was one of the most successful teams of recent years and a good share of the credit must be given to our members. Slowly but surely the members of our class were soloing and soon we were nearly all privileged to wear the silver wings that stand for a first- class pilot. At last we were privileged pilots and could sit back and watch the newer members of the school pass through the agonies which we had un- dergone. But we were not finished and had to work hard in order that we might become proficient pilots and thus become a credit to our school and class. The mid-night oil was burned for a great many subjects including that love of a good many pilots UPHYSICSH. A few of our number being enamored of their new position tried to get by with a little fooling, but they were badly msitaken as one of the teachers brought them down a few notches. Sports again took a big share of our members and we had another good football team. Jim, Joe, Harry, George, Booty, Shorty, and Ray did their bit and won letters. Shorty, Jim, and Clem again proved to be the wings of the basketball team and Harold was the old standby in track. Not to be outdone the girls did a little combat flying and came back to camp with a trophy for being the best basketball team. Debate was started again and three Seniors were on the team. They were Marion, Ray, and Joe. The glee clubs still held attraction for some while others stuck with the band. In a short time now We will have taken our finals and the old school will see us no more. lt seems sad to have to leave it, but we are somewhat contented by the thought that others will come to follow our footsteps.

Connie DeMuth bestows upon Florence Springer her vocal ability. Melbourne Dobson bequeaths his height to Anna Mae McDermott. Joe Fiedler bequeaths his love for Physics to Lester Brown. Francis Fischer gives his box of copenhagen snuff to Nickie Galle. Bob Gevelinger leaves his half of the noon pick-up business to Vern Adams.

History off: tfzlhe- fgllbserveirs UN September 1, 1926 weaentered our plane, The Class of '30, to go on our four year flight. There were over fifty members of our group. Our Freshmen year was spent in preparation for the future flight. Having successfully mastered our ground work we were promoted to the second class in the aviation services-the mechanics. There was a notice- able decrease in the members of this class. Those who did not End the ascent too steep continued their preparations for the coming flight. Hav- ing made short ventures in our Freshman and Sophomore years, we were represented in football, basketball, track, glee clubs, declamatory, oratory, and agriculture activities. Our social activities consisted of two successful parties, the Stowaways Hop and the Mechanics Shufllen. In our Junior year our flights were longer and more numerous. This year we are observers. Having secured our balance, we gained more courage, and as a result, we were more widely represented in curricular activities. It was our duty to entertain the Pilots at the annual Mechanics Prom, which was held on April 19. We leave our great ambition, a rec- ord breaking flight, for our last year when we are Pilots.

We took off as stow- aways, bearing the distinction of being the first class to board this airship in mid-year. During the course of our life as stowaways one of our num- ber disappeared, and it is believed that he took a parachute drop to Mother Earth. A passenger on the same ship joined our ranks. Thus we remained twenty-six in number, but we were wiser and more experienced in aeronautics. One night after we had been on the airship for about a year and knew every corner' of the craft and felt that we belonged to her, we sallied forth to the cabin and made merry until far into the night. From stowaways we were promoted to the position of mechanics. Our lot was harder than our previous one as our duties were more ardu- ous. We remained steadfast, undaunted by those who kept us at our labors with the mighty pen and class book. Again we paused from our toils to stage a party, which proved an even more striking success than our previous one. Three of our number had joined airships similar to the one we were on, leaving our number twenty-three. We are now alert and faithful observers. We watch for enemy planes, landing fields, observe climatic conditions. Sometimes the fog is so dense that our sight cannot penetrate it. It seems as if we will not safely reach our destination. Then the ship will loom through the fog. and we again float safely through the aerial ocean. We are gaining a new outlook on life, so we look forward to our remaining years on the airship before we shall arrive at the hangar of graduation. lVlICCllIld.lI'I1IlCS li, as a group, managed to find our way into this great plane in the fall of 1927 numbering fifty-six. A few of our members did not care for aeronautics so they left us seeking a different kind of life, while one passed away early last spring. In our first two years of flight, we have been well represented in foot- ball, basketball, and track. We are also well represented in both boys' and girls' glee clubs. There have been members of our class out for the oratorical and declamatory contests each year. We have the honor of giving one of the best Stowaways Parties ever given in this plane, and we also claim the honor of giving a very good Mechanical Party. We as a class are alert, ambitious, and are ready to help wherever we can. We will soon be the mechanics of this great plane no longer Cwe hope we have been a source of help to Point's' Propeller not a hindrancej and we wish that our two remaining years of flight may be as successful as our first two.

After being discovered, we settled down to diligent work. Three members of our class Ending the Work difficult took a parachute to land. Our class was represented on the football and basketball squad. Five members entered the Declamatory and Oratorical Contests and two of our members are in the band. Joining with the other class of Stowaways we left our work to give The Stowaway Party , which was a success. VVe are now Mechanics on this large ship, and we hope to reach the port of success which is at the far end of our journey. The Sttowaiways UNl'i bright, September day fifty of us boys and girls, being fascinated by life on an airship, crept on board the Point's Propeller. The ship was at the landing field of Greenhorn. Our intentions were to become stowaways until we could reach the port of Wisdom. As soon as we were discovered by the crew, we were punished. The pilots threw water on us: they made one of our band climb out and hx the propeller. Alas! he fell off. By this time three of the stowaways were so frightened that they jumped off the plane with parachutes. Our group now consisted of only forty-six. Soon two others boarded our ship, but one quickly left us. VVe had already gained the confidence of the other members of the plane, so we decided to have a party. It certainly was a great success. In other activities we had a member on the football team, one in the basket- ball team, and several in the glee clubs. After nine months we were told that VVisdom was still three years away. Perseverance is our motto, so we shall sail over land and sea until we come to our goal. From there we shall go a little farther, because we know that happiness is ahead. Marjorie Whitford: Why Chester, why were you so long? Chester Owens: I just wanted to see if you would attempt to walk home. Miss Jeuck: Clement, what was the Hrst important battle of the Civil VVar? i Clement Marr: The battle of Bunker Hill. Said the shoe to the stocking I shall wear a hole in you.

Football l THE season of 1928 dedicated the wonderful new landing field which greatly improved the facilities both for training and fighting. Out of the eight contests engaged in, the Mineral Point Craft was victorious in four, three were lost, and one was a draw. The new flying instructor, Coach Kuehl, was confronted with a light and inexperienced squad of recruits. The prospective flyers, headed by Captain Gordon, worked diligently, and, despite handicaps, became a menace to opposition. In the initial strife a larger craft from Spring Green took an advan- tage over the local plane. This was a preliminary skirmish, prior to the important league battles. The first of the league battles occurred at Dodgeville, The Red and Blues showed great improvement and returned victorious after holding the upper hand throughout the fray. The next week a confident Lancaster crew met a determined Point crew, the result being disastrous for the confident crew. The following Friday a Blanch- ardville gang fought a draw with the locals. This encounter served as a preparatory tilt for the return of Dodgeville, the next week. The day of the second Dodgeville-Mineral Point game was not an ideal one and not at all adapted for the quick maneuvering of the Point- ers, but persistence and determination of the Red and Blue aeronauts decided the game. Points Propeller travelled to the South for the next encounter and met what looked like the Graf Zepplin but what proved to be the gigantic Darlington craft. Needless to say, the small machine was badly damaged, as well as part of the crew. The next battle was fought in anything but good flying weather. Mist, rain, gale, and frigidity made a true test of strength impossible. An early, quick advantage gave Cuba City the battle. The climax of the season was at Mount Horeb. After a slow start the Mineral Point Aviators completely routed the opposition. Although the game had no bearing on the championship, the victory gave Mineral Point a record of more games won than lost. Much credit is due aviation instructor Kuehl for his patience, conscientiousness, and never-give-up spirit in the face of almost hopeless difliculties, also his assistants, Mrs. Kuehl and Harry Brown for their regularity in attending practices and games.

His call met with a large response, and the Flight Instructor was forced to cut his crew down to fifteen of the most experienced and eligible men. After much training, the crew was ready to meet their competitors willingly. The Air Rivals met in their first game the large airship from Highland. The Pilots had four experienced men in this kind of warfare. This game was fought very determindedly, on our part, although the Pointers came out with the short end of the score. This game put a fight- ing pep into the players, and they soared steadily onward for the rest of the season, with a rip in the wing occasionally. Raymond Palzkill at right guard was always fighting hard, and Gor- don a center was the dread of all foemen. Clement Marr at left guard and Proctor at right forward did their best at all times. Bernard Jack- son and Morris Mead fought well when they received the opportunity. Although their opponents defeated them in many of the games, they fought bravely and well. Gordon, Captain of the Flyers, has had four years of experience and acted as fosterer when it was necessary. There are four Pilots that are leaving the field this year for larger Hights, and leave behind them a fighting spirit for other classmates to profit by. FIRST TEAM- SECOND TEAM- l.. F.-M. Meade L.

They started out at the foot of the list, and as they have stuck with it, they have finally reached the head of the list. As a reward for this, the Pilots are having their name engraved on a trophy. They also received basketball letters, a new custom in this plane. This year a large number of the little Stowaways turned out and chose as their captain, Beulah Batchelor. They worked hard, but they still remain at the bottom of the list. The Mechanics numbered eight, and chose as their captain, Margaret Harris. The Observers, with Mary Benson as captain, put on a bold front, but were brought to a crashing defeat by the Pilots with a score of twelve to one.

PiANisT-Mildred O'Hara Boys Glee Club EURING the past four years, the boys of the Hight, have been doing a great deal to cheer things up. Those who cared to, have with the aid of our music Instructors, entertained us and helped add new laurels to the ship. During times of gay festivity and ceremonious pomp, they have all done their best. The operettas sponsored by the two glee clubs always drew applause from their audiences. A few, who seemed to have luck with them, have been picked out to aid the girls in the Mixed Chorus and other specialties. Due to the University of Wisconsin's new inspiration to help the Orchestras of the state Mineral Point will not have the opportunity to compete for the high honors she received in the District and State Con- tests last year. We boosters regret our hard luck but are continuing to keep up our talent.

The successful can- didates were Parmley Harris, Joseph Fiedler, and Raymond Metz who comprised the Negative team, and, Edward Brown, Mary Benson, and Marion Unger who comprised the Affirmative team. Rose Mead was the alternate. The question to be debated was, RESOLVED: That the Direct Primary Syxtem of Nominating Candidate.: for U. S. Senatory, U. S. Representa- tifues, and all State Often: be abolixlzed. The Negative team which remained at home, debated with Benton. The decision of the judges was in favor of Benton, one judge favoring Point's Propeller. The Affirmative team which landed at Monroe on February 16, did credit to this airship, but also was defeated. One judge alone favored the Affirmatives. Both teams worked hard in looking up material and writing their speeches. Captain Bear, our everlasting source of help and inspiration, worked with untiring efforts to make both teams a success. We take this opportunity to heartily thank him for his cooperation and keen insight into the question. It is hoped that next year there will be a Debating team that will bring to Point's Propeller the Honors and Glory due it. Uratory and lldleelamatory Contest FRONI the landing field a detachment took off for Lancaster in 1926 to try out their dramatic qualities on a foreign field. As we fthe class of '29l were merely bfechanics, we were a little timid about sending our candidates out. Neither was our class represented in 1927, where the contest was on the home field. As Observers, George Keeney and Joseph Fiedler placed first andf second in the local contest. Helen Morgan placed second in declamatory. They took off from the airport for Darlington to give an exhibition of our oratorical and declamatory prowess. Observer Keeney showed vocal powers rivalling those of Patrick Henry by placing second against keen competition. Joseph Fiedler also showed his talent by placing third. Those out for declamatory and oratory this year were: Mechanics Lester Brown and Bernard Doney, Observers Mary Benson and Barbara Palzkill, and the Veteran Pilots George Keeney and Helen Morgan. At the local contest which was held April 17, Helen Morgan and Barbara Palzkill placed first and second respectively. The Oratorical Contest held April 22, placed Keeney, first, and Bernard Doney, second. Helen and George took off for Lancaster to represent Point's Propeller, April 26. Miss Smith has worked hard and faithfully for these speakers and deserves much praise.

AEBISCHER is the leader of Mineral Point High School agri- cultural study and laboratory work, besides being the agricultural club leader. The club was organized last fall. Club members were very successful last fall, almost shutting opposing high school Ag. clubs out of prizes at the Mineral Point Fair. Some of them were very successful also at the Wisconsin Junior Livestock Exposition. The grand champion hogs were raised by Parmley Harris. Richard Kelly, who has since been lost to Dodgeville High, was up quite high, and Robert Harris was also close. In early December a judging and identification contest was held for the surrounding country schools. There were over 80 contestants. Some of our students attended the State judging contests at Madison. Robert Gevelinger was a high man. We had had previous practice at the Iowa County Farm. In the winter we had a basketball team, which practiced on Monday nights. Two games each were played with the Highland Aggies and the Dodgeville Seniors. Although Mineral Point lost all four games, they surprised both teams in the return engagements and lost the last two by close scores. There are only three classes of agriculture students this year, with a total of 28 members. The first year class studies crop production and soil management. They also learn how to judge and identify grains, seeds, grasses, and weeds. The second year class has a more interesting study, probably, animal husbandry, selection, feeding, and improvement of livestock on the farm are the main issues. The third year class has a varied program. First they study farm seeding, cultivating, and harvest- ing machinery. VVhen they have finished this, they take up gas engine repair and operation. Later they study woodworking and concrete con- struction. At the end of the third year of Smith Hughes agriculture study, our students have learned and profited immeasurably in learning how to run their farms efficiently and more interestingly. rllilhe Booster SINCE the organization of the Booster Club four years ago its work shows that is is a beneficial organization and seems almost necessary in the carrying out of school activities. The purpose of the Club is to promote and foster interest in Ath- letics and to install a real school spirit. The Booster Club looks forward to a big event each year, namely the homecoming: and, as we all know, the one this year proved to be a huge success. The membership of this club is drawn from the four classes. Each class elects two representatives who, they think, will boost the class activ- ities and school athletics. A great deal of its success is due to Mr. Mor- gan, who has directed the club since its organizing.

Every- thing must be in tip-top shape, for after our battle with the ship Dodge- ville we must let the Alumni board our ship. So after a victory fwhich was expectedj the gang made ready to make merry. The large cabin was decorated. A light Ryon plane containing Gordon's serenaders swooped down, and the party was on. Intermission was at eleven o'clock and so was the victory bonhre which burned the ship Dodgeville to a crisp. After ev- eryone had been refreshed Qsome by moonlight ridesj the Whoopee went on' again till at last the captain left for his stateroom, which was a gentle hint signifying, Time to Retire-Take a Tip. Happy and con- tent we left. Seiniioir party UN Dec. 28, the crew was almost in mutiny. Knives were flashing and the crew were polishing dark bluish revolvers. The reason- All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. So, after overheating, in an apple barrel, a dangerous plan, the crew encountered Miss Jeuck, who con- trived to get a leave of absence for everyone after the basketball game and stage a jig. Mr. Bear gave consent and after a thrilling encounter with the crew of the Dodgeville ship the party was on. It was like a bomb from a clear sky, everyone giving vent to their pent up spirits. Gor- don's furnished the hot tunes for our propulsion instead of the propeller furnishing the hot air. At a wee hour the ships bell rang signifying that we must return so as to be in shape on Monday morning when a serious aerial encounter was expected with a bombing plane named Books whose ammunition was exams. ,I Literal-Minded Stenographer A new clerk, dictating a few days ago, was in doubt as to the use of a certain phrase, so he said to the stenographer: Do you retire a loan? And the wistful eyed one replied rather sleepily: No I sleep with mama. Mike: Did you tell Casey I was a liar? Pat: I did not. I tho't he knew it.

Then, too, huge rations had been bought, bartered and stolen which indicated a fly in the ointment. Then about eight bells came the old familiar sounds of Gordon's melodious and harmonious out- fit. Investigating the aerdrome we found a party in full sway, the work of the stowaways. Everyone immediately joined in to give them their fun, for the majority had worked long and faithfully. Then as the eve- ning wore on the rations began to appear, which we all helped to dispose of so that the stowaways would not have an oversupply. At twelve every- one departed singing, Good Night Ladies, I'm going to leave you now. Sophomore Party UN Feb. 9, the Mechanics leased the cockpit, and it was their night to make merry. The room was decorated in blue and gold. Gordon's Band was once more the same old hot band and the party was on. At eight o'clock the Grand March started to the tune of On Wisconsin . Then started the hotfooting. The mechanics were quite expert now as they had had experience. At ten-thirty the refreshments were served and after them came a sham thunderstorm of confetti, balloons, horns, and caps. The teachers were quite repaid for the marks which they had given on semester exams, for they would have been soaked completely if it had been a real cloudburst. At twelve the sweet strains of Home, Sweet Home were played, and upon them we were wafted back to our cabins. The Junior prom EOWN from the grey storming clouds which darkened the horizon on April 19, swept our old familiar plane. By its side was a smaller one with Gordon's Serenadersm written on its side. There was some- thing rotten in Denmark because the day before the cock pit had been decorated by the Observers. At seven forty-five the grand march was started, and the fun was on. The room was decorated with pastel shades of pink, green, yellow, blue, and lavender. Overhead the various colors of crepe paper were interwoven in a checkerboard fashion. On each end of the hall the numerals '29 and '30 in the colors of pink were embedded in a background of blue. The orchestra was Sailing on the bounding main, for their platform was a gondola. About ten-thirty refreshments were served. Balloons and serpentine were the next to appear, and all made merry. Finally Home, Sweet Home was played, and, after var- ious members had been restored to their respective ships and cabins, our ship took off once more for the land of dreams.

In this great plane we see Miss Harris and Miss Jeuck at the controls. As they soar over the landscape, many familiar scenes greet their eyes, and an interesting conversation ensues. 'Tm going to show you where all the 1929 class are located. Now here, Mary, is the fruit farm of the Gevelingersg you know Rose Mead and Robert Gevelinger were married about six years ago, and they are enjoying California life. Who ever thought this would be their career! I'm not surprised at that at all, replied Miss Harris. Here is the sheep ranch of the Owens. Mrs. Owens was formerly Marjorie Whitford. Doesn't it seem awfully queer that they would live on the top of the Sierra Nevada Mountains P Why, I didn't realize that we were in Wyoming already, and here is the chicken farm of Mary Parkinson and Fern Weinbrenner. They certainly picked out the wildest place in Wyoming. Nell, I can't believe those girls would live out here in the wilderness. Oh, Nell, what a beautiful ranch that is. Do you know who owns it? Why, yes, that's James Whitford's ranch, you remember wh. he married, don't you P Yes, and his ranch is considered one of the best in South Dakota. These two dear teachers being still interested in school decided to land in the air-port at Des Moines, Iowa and make a visit to the voca- tional school of Manual Arts and Domestic Science. This school is under the supervision of Melbourn Dobson and his wife the former Grace Ben- son. They found this an exceedingly interesting place, and during the conversation they learned that Connie Demuth's tongue was still busy and that she and Francis Palzkill were called Mr. and Mrs. Rip Van Winkle. As they wanted to see the rest of the class, they went to the air-port and took off for Mineral Point. Let's land at the Soldiers Nlemorial Park, Nell. Yes, Mary, let's. You know Harold Keegan married Helen Knapp, and they are now in charge of the park. They land at the park and go to the house of the Keegans, where they are heartily welcomed. During the conversation they learn that Har- old Reger has married Barbara Laverty and that they are farming near Mineral Point. They were also told that Harry Jackson and Francis Fischer are running a Red Trunk Cigar store in Highland Junction. After a pleasant visit with the Keegans they again take off, and while flying over Madison, they see a football game in progress. Oh Mary, look at the Wisconsin team go through that line for a touchdown. Yes, Nell, ou know that ames Gordon is now the coach of the n u y u Wisconsin team. Look Nell, see that big tent ?

Did you know that George Proctor and Ethel Motley are work- ing in the circus P Whoever thought they would join a circus. I saw by the paper the other day that Clem Marr, leader of the gangsters here in Chicago, was caught. I never thought he would be a gangster. I didn't either, and do you know that George Keeney is president of the Standard Oil Company and is now a second John D. What is that noise behind us, Mary? Why that's the America and Raymond Palzkill and Harold Pittz returning from their non-stop flight around the world. That certainly was some undertaking, but see that large building down there, Mary? That's an institution for bachelors, and Leo Palzkill is the president of it. Who ever thought he would be a bachelor, but that is not the only surprising thing in Cleveland. Helen Morgan is the president of a sim- ilar institution for old maids. That sure is surprising, but here we are in Washington, D. C. Do you think we ought to stop and see President Mitchell and his wife, the former Isabel Stude ? I think we had better keep on going because we Want to get to New York before nightfall. VVe will come back and see them some other time and also Senators Hutchison and Metz. I think that is a good idea, and then when we come back we can see Joseph Fiedler the greatest lawyer in the United States and also his assist- ant the former Marion Unger. Here we are in New York, Nell, and look at that big sign, it says: 'Come and see Loretta Weidenfeller, the famous burlesque dancerf Who ever thought she would become a dancer. I,et's land here, Mary, and then go to our hotel, its only two blocks away. They land and then start for the hotel. Oh, Nell, look at that cute peanut stand: let's get some peanuts. All right, Mary. Say, do you recognize who is running that stand ? Why, yes: that's George Kieffer and his wife the former Catherine Gorgen. This is the best yet. We can go to the hotel now and have some news for the rest of our friends. I never shall forget this trip. Nor I, Mary. Miss Burkhardt-Why do you students always fool around with little details, instead of going ahead with your work. Bright Student-I don't know, unless it's because we take after you. Rosemary Phillips fooling around and making faces in class. Mr. Morgan-Rosemary you ought to be in the circus-'l Rosemary-That would be Hne. Mr. Morgan-Carrying water to the monkeys. Teacher-They say fools ask questions wise men can't answer. A Bright Student-That must be the reason so many fail in exams.
