PINKNEY Delivered the Baccalaureate Sermon Sunday evening, May 28th VALKDK TOBY. Myrtle Paulson, ’IT. Books and the Reading of Books. Books, we know Are a substantial work, both pure and good Round which with tendrils strong as flesh and blood. Our pastime and our happiness can grow.’’ These words are taken from Wordsworth and express his sentiments in regard to the importance and need of books and reading. Whv should we read and absorb the thought and companionship of the great men of the past? Why read the best books of the day? Because books influence action; they will mold your character. “A good book is among the best of companions and by elevating the thoughts and aspirations, they act as a preservative against low associations.” Does this help the housewife ard farmer any? How can she acquire this taste in the first place? The High School will do much to gain this end. She is entitled to this as well as the business man. People are approaching the age, when they feel that this is necessary. The woman can take more comfort out of life, she can spend some of her recreation in reading the choicest literature with enjoyment. How much more there is to life! Tt does not seem like a grind. The farmer can see more than the tilling of his soil. He will live and not only exist, “A good book may be his best friend. Tt is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It may be the best of which that life was cajmble; for the world of his life is for the most part by the world of his thoughts.” lie has been made an efficient man—one able to cope with the problems of getting a living and of developing his mental and spiritual being. How can the High School aid in this? get a living? But is it the dollars and cents together with what they bring all that should be asked of the High School education. Would you define living in the terms of dollars and cents? Studies are not merelv lor delight and for the adornment of the individual. Our High School education is becoming broadei ami more practical. Here, we are striving for the happy medium. I lie essential benefit of this system is to teach the boys and girls to think, by learning how to think. Who will teach one how to think? Can anyone be taught? Yes, by reading. liven the humblest and jxxir-est may (‘liter the great spirits of Shake-six are, Horace and Irving, without being intrusive. The housewife and farmer could not realize this, if they had not had their High School training. They would not know the difference lietween good and poor books. One cannot study Bryant, Irving, Emerson, Cooper and others with enjoyment and not have acquired a taste for books that are worth while. Books will do so much for us. Whether they are good or bad, they cast their influence o er us. 11 hat he reads will determine his future career, and the amount he reads will be a greater guide to his future life. It has been truly said, “that the best books are those which most resemble good actions. Books contain the treasured knowledge of the human race. From the Bible downward, they exercise great influence upon civilization.” “Books are forever guides to those who read them thoughtfully. Every |x rson may learn something from the recorded life of another. Here we find instruction in our jov, in our sorrow and adversity.” Therefore a good book is among the best friends, for it molds a man. When you read a work of some great writer, for instance Irving, you are pleased when he has written your ideas, although in a way that surpasses your ability, think of Irving’s description of an autumnal day. He is able to place the s|K)t lie (lest-rilies liefore your eyes. It is so real. Hooks possess an essenee of immortality. rumples crumble to ruin, pictures and statues decay; but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, l ime only winnows out the bad products, for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good. Therefore, why not seek the society of these great spirits? They leave us words, ideas, feelings, which with the progress of time, harden into substances; things, bodies and actions moulder away or melt into sound. Words are the only things that last forever. And friends, when we come to say goodbye to our school career, we take with us that which will lead us and solace us that ability to continue on in the realm of the greatest books. ( lassmates, let us resolve to make the best of what we have learned, and make use of the opportunities that our High School has offered us. W e owe a large debt of gratitude to our school hoard, principal and teachers for the untiring efforts which they have put forth in giving us the best opportunities that were possible. W'o cannot repay this debt directly, but by making the l est of things, we can serve others and repav it indirectly. They gave us the chance, and we owe them our service. CLASS W ILL. W K.

IX TESTIMONY WHEREOF, we have signed and sealed this instrument, and in the presence of witnesses pub- “SALUTJ “ROWING NOT DRIFTING.” Louise Parker, ’17. Citizens of the community, members of the faculty and students of the Mondovi Iliirh School: In behalf of the graduat- ing class of 1017, I most cordially welcome you to our Commencement Exercises. It is with a feeling of deepest gratitude that we greet you, for we realize that it has l een vour ready support and your kind sympathy that have helped to make it jiossible for us to celebrate together this joyous occasion. Hour years ago when we, as aspiring Freshmen, entered upon our High School career, we chose as our class motto “Rowing not Drifting.” This motto we have tried to make symbolical of ourselves even though it meant continuous and strenuous efforts on our part. The fact that we are this evening eagerly and expectantly awaiting our diplomas signifies that we have been constantly rowing our wav in deep waters so as not to have been stranded on rocks, and have overcome the temptation to take the easier course and lazily drift down the stream without aim. We. however, have had wise guidance on this difficult and uncertain voyage, for our faithful and conscientious teachers have been constantly at the stern, directing and guiding us. lished and declared it to be our last High School will and testament. Done at Mondovi High School, June 1, 1917. SENIOR CLASS. (SEAL.) I he undersigned were present and witnessed the signing and sealing of the foregoing instrument and at their request and in their presence, signed their names as witnesses to said declaration, and thereby expressed their lielief that said testators were at Lie time of sound and disposing mind. MARGARET JACOBI. EDNA HANSON. TORY.” Perhaps at times our courage has almost. failed us; but the expectation of our friends and the perseverance and the faithfulness of our teachers inspired us with new hope and courage. It is with a strange mingling of emotions that we are before you tonight, for we all realize that this commencement opens a new era in our lives. Throughout our whole school life the School Board, our friends, and our teachers have taken a live and a watchful interest in us. Thev have helped us row in the right direction and have mapped out for us our course. However, from now on we can no longer lie dependent on the wise guidance; instead, we shall have to lie thrown on our own resources, planning our own individual careers. May of the old ties will be broken as our ways separate, and new friendships will replace the old ones. Heretofore, our school activities and our common interests have brought m together and determined our friendships. In the future all will lie different. Our lifes work will bring us in contact with many people, and the friendships we make, and the companionship we seek will lie a true index to our character, re-veaMng our ideals and ambitions. Life will mean the putting forth of even more strenuous efforts; more than ever we shall realize that we must be “rowing and not drifting.” We especially feel this keenly in this, the world's present crisis. This critical time in the history of our nation places many responsibilities upon the youth of this country. We shall be called upon to meet her requirements in every needed vocation and avocation. We feel that we are strong enough, to uphold the ideals for which she is striving. As a farewell greeting, we have endeav- ored to prepare for you as interesting a programme as circumstances would permit with the loss, in the last six weeks, of our boys to the farm, to the army and to the navy. Hoping that you may derive the pleasure in hearing our renditions that we have had in preparing them for vou— we again extend to you a hearty welcome. —Louise I’atl.tt. CLASS PROPHECY. We, the Seniors of the Mondovi High School, deem it wise To tell you some mysteries that will open your eyes In short, to tell the history of this remarkable class Is a difficult problem which only Milton surpassed.

A. M. Iyoekor taught in Mondovi 185)0, 1891. From here he went to Povnette, Wis., where he was principal for two years. The next six y-’ars he remained in Cannon Falls: next three in Wabasha: and lastly four in Wendon High School. July 1, iJ) 1A he ' •is elected State Superintendent of the Methodist Sunday school work for the State of Minnesota, which position he sJ.ill holds. Second. Hans Hanson Moe was th principal of 1892-1893. Third. Henry Kneipe was here 1893-1895. After leaving Mondovi he studied law and was admitted to the Bar.

Fred Thomas was lorn and still lives in Eau Claire, Wis. He taught during the years 189(5-1897. Today he is treasurer of the Drummond Packing company. Sixth. In 1898 MacGregor returned to Mondovi for two years. Then Mondovi was made a four year High School. In 1902 he graduated from John Hopkins Medical School. With the exception of time spent at the hospital and disposing of his father’s interest in the firm of P’ce MacGregor, he has practiced medicine in Eau Claire and now in Garfield, Wash. His work as a member of the board in the consolidated school of Garfield is worth copying. “If I might express a hope for the Mondovi school's further usefulness, it would be that you introduce a fully equipped manual training department. I hope sometimes also, to learn that von have formed a large consolidated district which embraces all the adjoining or nearby districts. We formed such a district seven years ago and it has proved a splendid success, providing letter schools for the outlying districts and unifying town and country. Our kid wagons gather up children for alxmt seven miles in all directions. Seventh. James Nesbit was born in York County, Pa., in 1850. Ho was edu-• ated in the Normal School of Millers-'ille ami also tlie National Normal School at Iiohanon, Ohio. He was principal at V rightsville and ’a|H‘ Mav Court House, N. .1. In 180? he went to Lakefield, Minn, and stayed until 1885. From 1885 to 1808 he was principal at Durand and until 1005 he was principal here.

At the present time he is Prin-evincing much ability as a teacher. cipal of the Mondovi High School. W. S. Freeman Is a graduate of the River Falls Normal. He taught in rural schools for several years and was principal of the High School at Barron before coming to Mondavi. He followed Mr. Nesbit as principal of the Mondovi High School, being here in 1905-1906. ALUMNI In mi a school house was built on the site of the present brick structure at a cost of over $3000 and here for twenty years the young Mondovi minds were trained under the leadership of such men as E. II. Robinson, E. A. Benson, Prof. Wood, .T. ('. Rathbun, II. W. Schnare, E. B. Bartlett, S. (I. Oilman, A. M. Looker and others. During these years the school advanced with the progress of the community and when in 1891 the school house burned and the question of rebuilding came up, it was evident a much larger and better building must take the place of the old one. For some time the capacity of the old building had been taxed to the utmost, more people were settling in the city and graduates from districts schools were coming here to complete their education.

Never before in the history of the present generation, has the importance of agriculture been brought more forcibly to the attention of the world than at the prerent time. It is the great army of non who are engaged in Agricultural work who will, to a large extent, determine the victors of the present world war. If every farmer in the United States had, at the most, a secondary education in agriculture there can be no ouestion but what the production of food products would be greatly above what it is now. The boys who have left their school work to engage in work on tv,rjr duty «s American citizens to the farms should realize that it is not I i a full dav’s work each dav, but o«« their Agricultural knowledge which they have acquired in increasing production and promoting economy. It must be remembered that the primary purpose of teaching Agriculture in the High School is not to make farmers out of all those who take Agriculture. Agriculture is a human interest subject, and above all a practical subject. Often a High School student will ask why he must take certain subjects; he sees no relation between bis life activities and the subjects lie has, perhaps, been required to take. However, in the study of Agriculture no doubt can arise in the students mind as to the purpose of such study. He sees at once that it is directly related to his very existence; that it either directly or indirectly effects every human being; and being such demands his deepest respect, thoimht and study. Agricultural instruction will lead more boys to choose farming as a life profession because it will open up a field of study whose existence they never suspected. However, the great reason for the works is that it is one of the best means of training a student’s mind, and it is one of the best means because it studies the things which come within his experience; the things with which and by which he lives. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT AND HIGH SCHOOL BANK. By Minnie Everett. J lie aim of the Commercial Department is to train students to better meet the demand of commerce; to assist youim people to useful and profitable employ-ment by giving them information of the methods and duties of clerical work. To hi desirable bookkeepers, accountants stenographers and clerks there must he training. There can lie no doubt that business men appreciate from every phase the value of thorough preparation in their assistance. The Commercial Department is a link between the school and the practical activities of life. Our Commercial Department has endeavored to give the most helpful things possible to its students considering the obstacles in the lack of room, time and equipments. However, with these lamentable conditions the calibre of the boys and girls enrolled is such as not to know failures on account of mountains in their paths; but they have cultivated a resourcefulness that has become a valuable asset. In typewriting 15 students have netted above 40 words pet- minute. All grading by International Rules: awards given hv typewriter companies. Three students netted above 00 words. Willard Wells. 70; Edward Werrell. 05.4; Florence Rert-schy, 00. Shorthand has become read-ible, tangible and likeable to even a Junior, and all are wearing a broad smile because their efforts are to be awarded by the deserved one-half unit adde' to their credit. We wish to thank our worthy School Board for their kind consideration. The Bookkeeping class has learned the difference between debits and credits. The improvement in neatness and accuracy was very marked the latter part of the year. The highest average for the last twelve weeks was ninety-eight. Next year we hope to offer preparation to students for Civil Service work in Bookkeeping, Stenography, and Typing.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE DEPARTMENT T1IE QUESTION C Mi hr 18 it that so many of the children of the surrounding country have no chance to get a high school education? Is there nothing to encourage them to take advantage? The best wo can do with the mind of the child seems to lie energize it with methods and material of highest human and practical interest. It is the first purpose of education to set minds free. This means holding the children of the American democracy in sriiool until at least the eighteenth year, instead of the fifteenth, as now'—bv t! e compulsion of law. The fitire districts of Naples and Mon-dmi have refused to be incorporated into the school district of Mondovi. Two reasons for this refusal are: first taxes of each individual will be higher, if the children of the district are sent to Mondovi to school; and secondly, the members of the school board will lose their direct control over the schools and accept only such influence as their vote for board member for Mondovi School board may bring. As to higher taxation that can lx easily answered by the testimony of those farmers, who have always been in the Mondovi district. They say emphatically that they are getting 1 tetter education for the money spent and besides their taxes are not greater than the farmer outside of the district and what is best of all is, that more of their children can go to High School. The larger the district, the lower the rate of taxation would be for all. For the money spent, better service will l� e rendered and a larger number of children be aided. If one should hunt throughout the districts, you would find the schools with the average of twelve children most of them under twelve, and the district pays from forty to fifty dollars, for a teacher, who in many cases, is incompetent. If our school district is consolidated including the city of Mondovi, the town of Mondovi and the town of Naples, we will have a larger school, a better equipped E CONSOLIDA TION. b Whelan. school, and more efficient teachers. Instead of these numerous grades throughout the country, w'e would have one system and the children will be advanced steadily instead in this haphazard method. Our High School shows emphatically this bad method of grades—its efficiency is lowered and its energv scattered. Today Mondovi allows outside students only out of gwd will, not because of the money they bring to their treasury. The district, from which the pupil comes, ac-tually [)avs only a third of the real cost of educating him or her. Does Mondovi owe this to the surrounding people who do not belong to this school district? Do they have to educate its children? Can people of Mondovi district build a new school house, which thev’H have to have if outside pupils are allowed to attend, and the taxpayers bear the burdens of educating their children. At present. 40 per cent of the High School, are here lie-cause the district pays a tuition, which covers only the cost of the teachers omitting all other expense, which Mondovi itself pays for you. How long will tie Mondovi district bear this? Then, too. many taxpayers within tbe district pay for the education of other's children. But how about their own? I hey feel that they cannot afford it. How would they feel towards giving their child the right to have a High School education, if they belonged to the Mondovi joint district? They would say, “I am paying the taxes for the upkeep of this institution and my son and daughter shall have the benefit.” Those, wdio have no children will have to pay school tax just the same, so it will make no difference where they pav as long as it does the most good. Consider how much all this petty districts are paying for their grade schools. If that was put into one place, hired each grade teacher, added better equipment, and furthered scholastic competition, how much stronger your child would be. Then added to that would tried it successfully. Northern Wisconsin n ine your child's desire to go to High School whe.’e with this consolidated aid the l est could lie had. Up to this time the teachers and equipment in this district have been equal to the larger school with more money and students. Hence do away with your local expense and your little school house. Let us make a strongly equipped and efficient agricultural and domestic departments together wUh the cultural branches to fit your child for an excellent citizen either as a farmer or housekeeper. If you worrv about the matter of conveyance you can write to any School hoard of the western states. They have has tiied. One good example of a town nearly Moudovi’s size which has found it successful is Engle Liver.—(Don't take this winter as an example—the children couhTi’t get to their own schools in the country). Therefore, consider again this matter of consolidation. Soon Mondovi, because of the demands made bv the State Educational Department, will lie compelled to dri j all pupils not belonging to this joint district. With more room and more eouipment we can handle more pupils with our same teaching force as we have at present. WHAT THE MOON SAW. Adella It was the evening of a hot summer dav in August, and little Tommy Flynn was hastily leaving a suburb of New York and making his wav to a grove where he hoped to find a little recreation from the hard day’s work in the factory. Upon arriving, the tired bov threw himself upon the ground and with a sigh of relief gazed up at the moon, which seemed to cast most of its light on a green knoll not far from where he was reclining. Suddenly he was aroused by gay laughter and merry voices. Tommy got up and walked quietly in the direction from which the voices were coming. He did not go far liefore he reached the little green campus, and behold! W hat do vou suppose he saw? A group of tiny, liny fairies dancing merrily about and as they did so. each one possessed a harp on which they plaved. Thev were dressed in dainty white gowns trimmed with gold bands, which Mr. A loon with an unusually bright 1; gVt made sparkle like diamonds. Alt ’20. Tommy had imagined such scenes before, but he had never believed them to l e a reality. As he was a lover of music, the thing which interested him most was the harps. What a temptation to steal up and take one of them! The fairies danced al« ut for several minutes, wholly unconscious of any one watching them except Mr. Moon. Finally they skipped back out of sight, leaving their harps on the mossy grass. Should Tommv take advantage of this opportunity to get one? There was no one to fear save the moon, but he was watching closer tonight than ever before. Tommy battled with his conscience for some moments and at last decided that he could rot manage it without Mr. Moon seeing him. Mr. Moon smiled down, and his face showed the satisfaction that he felt for having kept a little child from perhaps his first temptation to sin. MRS. DALBllCVS SEC'KET. Mina Fleishauer, '18. I In doctor. though a skillful one, in- tautlv nave the ease up as hopeless. He luul been hastily summoned to the home ol Mrs. Dalhro by her old servant, Dinah. Mrs. Dalhro was an old woman and lie-ing a cripple, had not left her lied for years. She had eome to this neighborhood several years before and had always lived on the farm, which her husband had bought. The house was one of those old colonial structures with all kinds of rooms and chambers. Mr. Dalhro had now lieen dead a long time, but shortly after the time of his funeral. Mrs. Dalhro had been crippled in a runaway accident. Just about the same time, her daughter, a girl about twelve years old, had disappeared, and had not lieen seen since. Dr. Norman knew that Mrs. Dalhro was � l� ut gone. All he could do was to wait for the end and to wait alone. It was not long before the last spark of life flickered and went out. After he had covered the body, the doctor prepared to depart, intending to call in someone to spend the n ight. Hut what was that on the table? Sure-Iv it was an envelope and upon picking it nn c -aw tha it was addressed to himself. If-stilv and with dread, he broke the seal r-'d dn— forth the sheet of paper, which was inside. It had been written by a band t’ at was far fro steady. Tie proceeded to read it. The contents were as follows : “To the Doctor.” “I will l� e gone when von read this, but it is better so. At least it is better for me. Open the door of the clock and follow the stairs. on will find someone there. I hardly know why T nut her there. I think she is better off than if she were here.” T,’' doctor wa« ston fied. What could he the meaning of those words? What clock could the woman possibly mean ? He glanced around the room and in the corner liehind the bed was an old clock. It was square and very large and reached almost to the ceiling. Strange that he hadn’t noticed it liefore. Surely it was the clock mentioned. He went to it. hut the door was locked. Searching around, he found a key and soon opened the big door. There, true enough, was a secret stairway, and a secret stairway meant secret chamliers. He went outside into the cooling breeze. He could not ascend those stairs tonight. There was nothing to do but wait till morning. The morning dawned bright and clear, as if there were nothing hut brightness in the world. The doctor was naturally a man of steady nerves, but he was not so calm this morning as he prepared to go upstairs. Who can describe the horror that swept over him as he thought of what might be concealed in that chamber overhead ? He finally gained courage enough to go on. The first room he entered was evident! v a library, hv the hooks and papers seen everywhere. They were however, thickly coated with dust. How relieved when he found the next room emptv, also! The old woman must have been insane. He walked around examining everything. Bv the dust everywhere apparent. he concluded that the rooms had not been used for years. Just as he was about ready to leave the room his eve caught sight of another door. ith abated breath he advanced to it, turned the knob and entered. Tt was a very small room. On the floor in one comer lav the skeleton of a child. Surely it was a terrible secret. He fled from the room aghast and turned not hack until he had reached his own rooms. THE CALAMITY OF REVEREND HAVERHILL. Myra l’abst, ’18. Early Sunday morning when Reverend Haverhill came out of the house, he saw a fish pole, which his eight year old son had left lying in the yard. Mr. Norton, a man of a different parish, and, one, who was always finding fault with Reverend Haverhill, saw the pastor go into the yard pick up the fishpole and start toward the hack yard with it. Mr. Haverhill went to services with his family as usual, thinking of his morning’s sermon. He walked up the steps and opened the door. What a sight met his eyes. His congregation had come early and were lined up in front of the church, the deacons leading the lines. The minister stepped hack in amazement. As he did it the deacons stepped forth quickly and seized him by each arm. “What are you doing?” exclaimed Mrs. Haverhill. ri fhe deacons answered never a word. The pastor submitted to the insult and then said, “What may be your cause, good people to treat me in this manner?” The men brought the man inside the door and then one of the deacons stepped forward ami said. “We do not want a man for pastor who will do a thinor like you did this morning.” hat did 1 do that turns you all against me in this way,” asked the pastor. “You know too well what it was,” answered the deacon. “Shame! Fraud! Deceit!” shouted the congregation. Mr. Haverhill looked over the congregation and recognized his very best friends of the parish. His gaze rested on Mr. Henry with whom he associated a great deal. “Mr. Henry,” he said, “Will you please come here?” Mr. Henry who was still a little doubt- ful as to the certainty of the fact, came willingly. “Mr. Henry,” began the preacher, “You have always been a good friend of mine. Now do tell me what charge you people have against me, please.” The man began, “Rev. Haverhill you know, surely, the report that came to us this morning.” “No, I don’t and that is what I am asking you for.” “Well, we were told that you, our pastor, went fishing early this morning and we, the congregation, simply cannot stand for it.” “I—you mean that I went fishing this morning?” asked the astounded pastor. “Yes. sir, that is what we are forced to believe,” said the deacon. “Fraud!” shouted the crowd again. “I must understand these strange proceedings!” continued Mr. Haverhill, “Who could have told you that I went fishing on this Sunday morning?” “Mr. A told me,” said Mr. Henry. “Well, Mr. B told me,” called Mr. A. “And Mr. Norton old me,” said B indignantly. “that early this morning he saw you go with a fishpole in your hand, into the backyard, and then saw you come back with fish for your dinner.” “Well—Well—the idea !” ejaculated Mr. Haverhill. The crowd interrupted him with a shout and he was taken to his home, the people clamoring all the wav. The protestations of the pastor were of no avail. The people could not lie reasoned with. The parishioners dismissed their minister, though he still could not understand what their reason was. He went to another town and was never heard of by the former congregation again, although a few of them sometimes thought that they had convicted an innocent man. AN ADVENTURE. Raymond Evans, ’20. Ronald Curtiss sat in the office of one f the noted detective bureaus, idly drumming upon a table with his fingers, rile telephone gong rang in the adjoining room, hut he did not experience anv interest in what was being said. Finally the chief came to the door and called. “A job for you, Curtiss. There’s orno kind of a strike or other going on at turpentine companies has disappeared. I’ack as soon as you can and go down there.” Ronald left town on the afternoon train, and arrived at Redlands at alnnit six o clock. I’he next morning he was out of l� ed with the first streaks of dawn, and went out among the strikers to determine whether he could find a clue upon liicli to act. Although he questioned many men and secured many details, none of these served his purpose. At the conclusion of his breakfast, he went to his client’s home and secured permission to search the bedroom of the missing man. Although he searched every nook and cranny in the room he was unable to find anything. While coming dewn the stairs the sound of voices, com-i’ ir from some room, caused him to pause. Cm- woman was saving “I do believe that the strikers have killed him.” Another insisted that robbers had caught him. Ronald was forced to smile in spite of his disappointment, at the assurance with which the remarks were made. As he could not proceed further in his i vestisration, until he had secured a full description of his client, he awaited the lcaye-taking of the woman. At last the maid said that her mistress was ready to mc him. and led lrirn up to a large reading room, where a lady rose, as he entered, and asked if she could be of anv assist-a-ce. He answered. “Will you please T’ve me a full description of your husband. and what he was doing when last seen ?” “Certainly, sir. I will give you all the little information that 1 possess. He is a square-jawed, broad-shouldered man, with very keen gray eyes and dark brown hair. One peculiarity about him is that he parts his hair on both sides.” “Has he been uneasy lately?” “He has looked rather careworn, and has had an attracted air aland him. but I attributed that to the strike. I think that he has been too stubborn with the men, sir.” Now that he had a description of the man, Curtiss resolved to put it to full use. After a good deal of thinking, he decided that the only course that gave any hope of success was to assume a disguise and work among the men. Acting upon this decision, Curtiss secured a false beard, wig. and an old suit of clothes. Attired in these, lie made his wav into the crowd without exciting suspicion, and learned that mass meeting was lieing conducted at an old building near the mill. He then made his way as best he could to the building, where impassioned speakers were exhorting the men to deeds of violence. After he had become accustomed to the movement that was going on, he noticed something which excited his curiosity. Dark-visaged, evil looking men were moving around among the crowd occasionally speaking to the men. and these men would invariable slip away, when they could without being noticed. “There was something going to happen,” thought Curtiss, “and T must see what it is.” At last his chance came to follow the men, and he improved it to the best of his ability. One of the messengers, for such they were, stopped and whispered something to a man next to Curtiss. This man slipped away, as the other men had done and Curtiss followed him. On. on, on went the man, threading his way through the crowd, with an assurance which showed that he was not going over an unknown course. He soon left the £E-fckE=n IRRDE --- ? ezr, l r - -• -t-z v y crowd behind and came to the edge of a dense pine forest. lie then whirled around in his tracks so swiftly as to nearly discover Curtiss, but that worthy had dropped where he stood. The man then led the way along a path so narrow and between ln gs so black and deep that it made the goose flesh rise on Curtiss’ back. At last they arrived at a half rotten building, midway of the swamp. There the man disappeared as if the earth had swallowed him, but on a close view, Curtiss saw a yawning open underneath it. Going down this, Curtiss saw the door open to receive the man who had preceded him, and heard the low-spoken words, “B. M. S.” The next moment he entered and found his way blocked by a man who desired the “countersign.” Acting upon an impulse Curtiss answered. B. f. S.” and was allowed to proceed. He then proceeded very cautiously down a narrow tunnel, and rounding a narrow bend lu nearly ran into a group of men. Recoiling, lie lay down around the end of the bend, and listened intently. The men were discussing whether it was advisable to send a letter to Mrs. Redland. wife of the missing president, and ask for a ransom, or if it would be more profitable to keep him where he was. After listening for a while longer, he ascertained that these men were blackmailers, who were holding Redland for a ransom. He then went up the passage to the door and the man not attempting to stop him. returned to Redlands and raised a posse of policemen. They arrived at the cave in time to catch the blackmailers as they were adjourning. A DR RAM. Willie had been playing hard all day, and he was very tired. So he lay down upon the soft green turf, and began to count the stars. Suddenly a shooting star illuminated the sky. and Willie began to try to imagine why it had left its home. Soon he felt himself growing smaller, and smaller, and at the same time seemed to rise in the air. When he stopped, he found himself confronted by a big star. This he knew to be the dog-star. “Sir,” he said. “What star was it that shot across the sky, and what made it?” “It was Ganmer,” answered his friend. “Stars don’t like to be counted, and they shoot to attract the person’s attention, and make him lo e the number.” “Why?” asked Willie and then not giving the dog-star time to answer, he shouted, “Oh look! Another one!” “Yes, now watch it and see where it goes.” returned his companion. Tn his eagerness to watch the shooting star, he lost his balance, and fell down, down, down, and at last he was laying in the same place that he was before. He received a severe shake, and opening his eves, lie saw his mother standing over him. and saving in an impatient voice: “Come Willie, don’t lie there, you will catch your death of cold!” Willie went to l ed. and it was not long before he was again dreaming of the dog-star, and Ganmer. THE MYSTKKIOrS DISAPPEARANCE. Adolph Flekke, ’18. I II have to go down town today with iliat load of oats, said young John Brown as he arose from the breakfast table. “I’ll probably not he home until dark as I have to take hack a load of cement for I hompson s new barn. A few minutes l.itiT he drove out of the yard behind a team of spirited grays. The young wife gazed proudly after her tall, handsome husband, lie was said to Ik' the strongest man in the neighborhood and also the most optimistical. After he had unloaded his oats he went over to the only hotel in town to eat his dinner, and was greeted enthusiastically l some of his neighbors, who were also going to take back a load of cement. After the meal they helped each other load on the cement, and Brown tied his team to a hitching post while he went into I he banners Store, to buy some groceries. The others, who had already made their purchases were starting for home and they knew he had the best team of them all so they thought he could easily overtake them. But. after they had driven alsmt two miles without seeing anything of him. they concluded that he had taken the other road which would lead him past his father’s farm. The next morning Brown's wife called Thompson on the phone and asked if John had l cen there, hut the answer came hack that he hadn’t l een there with the load of cement vet but he was probably stopping overnight with his parents. Her last hope was gone for his father had called a few minutes More to ask why John didn’t bring his tol acco. A few minutes later the town constable called up to tell her that he had found her husband s team tied to a hitching post at seven in the morning and someone said thev had been there all night. It was soon known over the whole town and surrounding country and an inquiry was begun. Someone had seen him going towards the depot yet the railway agent was positive that he hadn’t been there. One person voiced the opinion that he had skipped, and another that he had gone on a drunken spree, but these reports were instantly contested by his intimate friends. Three days later the loungers on the bench outside the depot were surprised to see John Brown, attired in a new suit of clothes, step off the train. They crowded around him while he told his story. I was just going to unhitch my team when I remembered that I had left my watch in a corner of the cement car, where I had placed it for fear I would break the crystal while carrying the cement sacks. I hurried towards the car, hut as I was climbing in the door. I wrenched my ankle so, I had to crawl on my hands and knees. But just as I reached the corner I felt a shock and the car l egan to move. I got the watch and hurried back as fast as mv injured foot would permit, but the car had gained speed so it would have been dangerous to jump. I must have slept as I didn’t remem-l er passing anv stations until the next morning, when my call for help was heard by a brakeman who recognized me. With his help I got into a cab which drove me to a hospital where my foot was set and 1 was put to sleep before I had time to tell them my wife’s name and address.” A SOLILOQUY. Raymond Tom was a very bad boy in school that day; the teacher first did not like his tardiness and then he was made to wash Ids hands that had some way got muddy playing marbles and, through it all he had pouted and talked somewhat too forceful to the teacher. The outcome. f it was that Miss Brindle came to Mr. Sail and had a long conversation in the parlor about the future Mr. Tom Sail. Mr. Sail came out of the parlor very red in the face and also very angry. When Miss Brindle had taken her leave Mr. Sail came into the woodshed, where Tommy had taken a turn for the good and was busily splitting wood. There it is needless to say the maxim of spare the rod and spoil the child was uppermost in Mr. Sail’s mind, for he nearly spoiled his slipper in using it for a rod. That, night Tom found it very hard to get to sleep. He felt angry at his father for not clearly understanding the case, for he felt sure that his father in his place would have done no different. His mother had not sympathized with him; this he remembered with a stifled sob. He hoped he would get sick and die—no not die just get awful siek and then they would wisli thev had been kinder to him. The clock downstairs struck the hour of ten. when Tom happened to look out from under the quilts and saw someone staring at him, perched on the foot of his bed. “Who are vou?” Tom asked in a frightened voice. “I'm Tom Sail.” squeaked the little figure. “Oh J that cannot he. because I am Tnw Sail and T was thrashed and sent to l cd,” answered Tom drawing his head out Nelson, 'IS. from under the quilts that he might st-e his namesake a little better. “Tom,” said his namesake in a kindly tone, “Do you know you are a very bad hoy. Did not 1 tell you to hurry or you would be late.” “You never said a word or anyone else, because I didn’t hear you and in-sides if you did. Stub had mv moss agate and I iiad to gain that back,” Tom replied in a rather weak voice. “You could have hurried Tom; the teacher has lots of trouble besides tending to late boys, and a gentleman never gasses a woman. What was one marble to causing sc much trouble to the teacher and to yourself? It- doesn’t hurt the teacher, if you are late but it hurts you. If you come late now you will form the habit, when you are old and you can not get a job or keep one then, for no one will hire a man who comes late all the time.” Tom squirmed a little, but could find nothing to sav to this, for he well knew that he deserved every hit of it. The little figure at the foot of the bed seeing that he did not wish to say anything continued. “You know that your father works bard to send you to school and you ought to work hard to please him. And when the teacher came with complaints of your shiftlessness, he had reason to become vexed with you and I know that, if you try. he will forgive you and feel ashamed because he thrashed you.” Tom did not ask how the little figure knew so much but he knowing that he deserved every bit. The next day the teacher was astonished at the work he accomplished. ATHLETICS. C. (i. Mathvs. The 1916 foot-hall season served as a Eau good “touthener” for basket-ball. The number of men that reported for the early season praetiecs was much larger than last year, although most of the boys were light and inexperienced. The first game with Eau Claire High resulted in an easy win for the Eau Claire eleven. The local squad took their revenge on the Eau Claire Se oiuls before a large crowd, during the week of the Mondovi Fair. The games scheduled with Bloomer were cancelled on account of the Infantile Paralysis scare. Curing the last two years it has been a.b lately impossible to secure games with high schools of our own size; and financially it has been a losing proposition. unless some of the smaller neighboring schools take up the game, Mondovi can hardly continue in the field. The interest in Basket Ball has been intense. Teams have been organized in the grades, in each of the high school classes, and among the girls. If the material in the grades keeps up the good work, we can look for good high school material in about two or three years. The inter-class tournament held near the close of the season resulted in a clean sweep for the Seniors, with the Sophomores second. Freshmen third and Juniors fourth. The girls’ team went through the season with four victories and one defeat. With one exception the girls' team is composed of Sophomores and Freshmen. Much of the credit for the excellent showing made by our girls' team is due to the excellent assistance given by Miss Swanson. Steps should he taken to put girls' basket-ball upon a paying basis, financially. Otherwise everything is in its favor. The high school regular’’ closed the season by participating in the District Tournament at Eau Claire, where they look 3rd place and won the bronze medals. The teams placed as follows in this tournament: Claire, 1st. Bice I ake, nd. Mondovi, 3rd. Phillips, 4th. Chippewa, 3th. Fall Creek, 6th. Bloomer, 7th. Two weeks later Eau Claire won the state championship at Menomonie bv a more dciisive score than that by whirl they won the district championship. The season’s scores were as follows: (Iilmanton 16—Mondovi 36. Independence 22—Mondovi 34. Elcva City 20—Mondovi 2K. (iilmanton 10—Mondovi 24. Independence 7—Mondovi 4 . Fountain City 32—Mondovi 23. Menomonie 15—Mondovi 10. Arcadia 15—Mondovi 14. Xeilsville 14—Mondovi 42. T urand 1H—Mondovi 26. Hillsboro 51—Mondovi 23. Modena 15—Mondovi 30. Fairchild 10—Mondovi 21. Alma 9—Mondovi 21. Arcadia 9—Mondovi 25. Durand 26—Mondovi 29. Fairchild 11—Mondovi 65. Philli] ts 15—Mondovi 7. Fa'! Creek 15—Mondovi 55. Phillips 6—Mondovi 15. During the season the team travelled about 84( miles. Outside of the tournament the team missed only 1 1-6 days of school. The tournament came during the week of examinations lienee t’ c work was easilv made up. Before every game, the contestants were certified in accordance with the State scholastic requirements. Finally the bo vs' basket ball season was a success financially. The receipts nmou ited to $708.03. the expenses $664.35 leaving a surplus of $43.68. Thus in spite of the fact that the boys team paid $146.23 for the ball rent where most high school teams have a free gymnasium they still show a good balance on hand, with which to finance foot ball and track. BOYS' BASKET BALL TEAM GIRLS- BASKET BALL TEAM DEBATING TEAMS In view of the fact that only one debate was held this year, but little can be said as regards the season. That only one debate occurred is not, however, any fault on the part of Mondovi. At the beginning of the year, dual debates with Black River Falls and Arcadia were arranged. Before the day set for the contests with Black River Falls, both debates were cancelled because of the fact that Black River Falls insisted upon using three men over the age limit. Secondly. after winning by a very close margin the debate held here, Arcadia dis- played a very unsportsmanlike act by refusing to meet our other team which had w'orked hard in preparation for the contest and by the rules of the game, this debate should have been forfeited to us. Our two teams were as follows: Ja- cob Lee, Paul Evans and Allan Smith; Edna Lundberg, Russell Quarberg and James Scott. With all except Smith and Evans back again next year, and with other promising material from which to choose. Mondovi should produce winning teams. ORATORY. James Seott ’18. JT-H-E.-, Aided by the splendid financial assistance of Mr. I). A. Wjhelan, and the support of a number of students, oratory has been accorded much interest this year. Much time was devoted to the subject, and those who availed themselves of the opportunity feel well repaid for their efforts. A preliminary contest between the sophomores and freshmen was won by Sammy Blum. The final contest, held at the M. hi. Church April 13, was participated in by six hoys: Sammy Blum and Lloyd Smith, freshmen; Edwin dost, sophomore: Jacob Lee and James Scot!, juniors; Paul Evans, senior. Blum amt Scott were chosen to represent the school in the league contest held at Durand. April ‘ 7. where they received fifth and fourth places respectively. Although we were not successful in bringing back the Silver Loving Cup, next year’s team ro be chosen from experienced and promising material, should make a strong bid for its possession. DECLAMATORY smu.nvN MI Shortly after school opened last September, the organization of the different phases of the Musical Department of our High School was begun by the two musical directors, Miss Metha C. Stuempel, who supervised all the vocal music except the hoys’ quartette, and Mr. W. M. Blair, who supervised the instrumental music and the boys’ quartette. Mr. Blair organized a senior and a junior band and orchestra. The senior hand has done very efficient work under his direction, and the junior hand has also progressed very well. The orchestra composed of several new members, who succeeded last year’s graduate members, has shown its talent by rendering some difficult selections in a very creditable manner. It has played at a great many High School functions during the year and at various public functions where the music was greatly appreciated. The orchestra will certainly miss Mr. Blair and bis excellent leadership next year. The boys’ quartette made a brave start, but due to the prolonged absence of one of the members who was ill it did not appear in public. Miss Stuempel has l� een doing splendid work with the girls' quartette as all those who have heard the girls sing. know. They are now preparing music for the com- SIC. mencement exercises. They have ap-peared in public several times this year. Three members of the quartette will graduate this year, so that will necessitate three new members for next year’s work. The (!lec Club, which was organized with a constitution under the name of the “Eurydorphic Glee Club,” has practised regularly ever)' Tuesday after school. Me all thank Miss Stuempel for her faithfulness. This organization has studied the Cantata, “The Wreck of the Hesperus” besides several other selections during the vear. At the present time the Glee Club is preparing music for the commencement programme. A chorus of girls has been recently organized for the purjxtse of furnishing selections for Commencement time and the May Fete. A special chorus, composed of mixed voices, was forced to give up its work because of the absence of the boys, who were influenced by a patriotic feeling to toil on the farms. The musical organizations have done very well this year and the members have taken splendid interest in the work. We do not expect to have Miss Stuemple or Mr. Blair with us next year and 1 am sure that all of the students, especially those in the musical department extend their heartfelt gratitude to them l oth for their willing services in this work.
