It has ! een no primrose path of dalliance.’ When school opened, the Great War was still being waged with no hint of its sudden, dramatic and glorious finish. The result was that during the first semester the high school was under-staffed. This entailed a great strain on our Principal, Mr. Dodge, and the other members of the faculty. Fortunately, at the beginning of the second semester there was a staff sufficiently large to cope successfully with all the inside and outside activities that a modern high school implies. But students had scarcely settled down to their educational routine when fear of the influenza epidemic caused an intel- lectual interregnum of six weeks, at the end of which time practically a new beginning had to be made. This enforced vacation had two bad effects. It meant crowding the educational program into a shorter period of time, with the accompanying tendency to mental indigestion. It meant the closing down of all those activities, quasi-educational and athletic, which do so much to foster a proper high school spirit. There were, however, enough of these activities to cause regret that they were stopped. In basketball it was evidenced that with so fine a coach as Mr. Thompson we had the makings of a victorious team. Our successes in debate, in oratory and in declamation, achieved under great limitations, are gratifying proofs that, given ordinary conditions, we would have done exceedingly well. But another year is coming when we who shall have passed on will watch with interest the development of present potentialities, when the conditions will, we hope, 1 e more favorable than they have been this year. This lack of continuity in school work and this arrested development of school activities have reacted on those of us who have been entrusted with the task of bringing out the Mirror, which is a record of the school year. But we have done our best and angels can do no more. In the words of the poet we adjure you. Be to our virtues very kind. Be to our faults a little blind. If the 1919 Mirror merits commendation. we, as Editor-in-chief, ask you to give the praise to the loyal staff that has lightened our labors. Too much cannot be said of the Business Manager. Russell Quarberg, who has worked hard and successfully. His powers of persuasion are proved by the large amount of our advertising matter. He has received good help from his assistants, Sanford Ede and Ralph Smith. Right here, we want to thank the business men for their support. It show- that they have the interests of our high school at heart. Without their co-operation, the issue of the Mirror would be impossi le. But we believe that their support is a good business proposition for them. Those of us who remain in Mondovi when we have finished our high rchool career will remember the business men who showed an interest in us. But to return from our digression. Sammy Blum as Athletic Editor has shown that he is the right man in the right place and the same can be said of our Artist, Fred Harrison. Willard Pace has had the task, no smell one. of getting th i photographs of our -oldiers and sailor boys. The gentler sex has done its full share to the production of the Mirror. To Anna Aase, who has collected the snapshots; to Verra B nning, who is responsible for the joke department; to Amy Brownlee who has been in charge of the Story section and to Jeanette Thompson, who has collected the records of the Senior class and has reviewed the work of the Nautilus Society—we -ay. in the language of Shakespeare. Thanks, thanks and again thanks. As is but right, a large part of the Mir-10 is devoted to the educational activities of the high school. These have been ably dealt with ? y the Principal and other members of the faculty. We venture to claim that we have been singularly fortunate this year in the possession of teachers of unquestioned capacity, who have not spared themselves in their efforts to teach the young idea howT to shoot. In regard to our faculty—May we be permitted to prove that our three years study of Latin has not been wholly forgotten in the fourth year?—in years to come olim mcminisse juvabit. This is the year of Victory, and w e have called our year book the Victory Mirror. We are proud to know that those who have had their education at the Mondovi high school have done their full share in the achievements wThich constitute the most glorious page in the military annals of our country. We believe the Victory Mirror constitutes a permanent memorial to our high school boys who served on sea, on land and in the air that “liberty might not perish from the earth.” We dare affirm that Lieut. Harry Dillon. wrho died in the Argonne leading his men to victory, exemplified the ideal high school spirit— the spirit of willing service for others, of splendid disregard for self. The high school is a pu lie institution. The people pay the cost and appoint the Board cf Management. We would be doing less than our duty if we did not tender our thanks to the public and to the School Board. We submit that this Victory Mirror is evidence that the services of the board and the taxes paid by the public have been repaid in boys and girls educationally equipped to go forth to the task of making our country better and greater. We dip the editorial pen in ink for a final word. We seniors, after long years of association, have come to the parting of the ways. We shall be scattered, in the ordinary course of events, here, there and everywhere. May we never forget each other and may we so -Jive and so achieve that our Alma Mater may never have reason to be ashamed of the class of '19! LEIGH DILLON, Editor-in-Chief.

My place is on the farm among the Hills CLlje Senior (Class of 1919 as tl|tg lookrfc in 1919 THE WILL OF GOD. By Evelyn Blum It was a beautiful winter day, cold, bright, and clear. The sun shone on the now, making it look like a diamond sheet. In tiie hazy distance the high, white-capped mountains loomed majestically toward the sky. A little log ca’ in, crude and bare, but with a homelike atmosphere surrounding it, !tood at the base of a high mountain. Its roof was covered with snow, glistening like myriads of silver stars. On one side was a small window over which was nailed a dried bear ckin. Near the little cabin was a small barn, a chicken house and a machine shed. The chickens snuggled together contentedly. Everything had an appearance of happiness and peace. Within the house perfect joy reigned. The mother was sitting near a cheerful fireplace, knitting a pair of warm mittens. The father W'as shelling corn for the chickens. Baby Elizabeth with golden curls was sitting on a large w'plf-skin rug, playing with large red and' blue blocks. Through a small opening covered with oiled paper the sun streamed into the neat, cozy, little room. How' peaceful and happy the three inmates of the little cabin were! Mrs. Grant instinctively glanced at the small alarm clock on the neatly-papered helf. “Why. Thomas,” she exclaimed “It is ten o’clock already. Nellie will be home about an hour. It hardly seems true that after two years’ a’sence she will be with us again. Only for one short month, ves. but it will be a happy one I am sure. How' much she will have grow'n. She was onlv sixteen when she left and now' she is eighteen.” Do you suppose she remembers me, Mamma? I don’t.” Elizabeth shook her golden curls, her large innocent blue eyes on her mother’s sw'eet face. “Of course, dearie, Nellie has remembered us all. even though she wras so far awray.” Elizabeth was a beautiful child; indeed. wouht be difficult to find one more beau-Mfui She w'as five years old. but wdth an ’ntpHect of one eight years old. Her -oldon miHs fobbed about her face as she ♦u ned he head. He large blue eyes, her lonr curlv lashes, her pink and white chrek couhi hardlv be matched. She was thn only child left at home since Nellie heor}e to B rn to attend a fashionable hoarding -chool. Petted she w'as but not polled. To her parents, she meant more than anything on earth. Through the dreary winter days she was a ray of sunshine. When crops failed in summer she never failed to cheer her parent!. Nellie, too. meant much to them, but she had been away two years and they had grown accustomed to her absence; but it w as impossible to be without Eliza eth. The time passed slowly for the three patient waiters. At last. however at about eleven o’clock sleigh bells w'ere heard and Mr. Grant, rushing out into the yard, saw bin daughter, a tall, graceful, girl stepping to the ground. He beamed with pride as he rushed forward and. taking her in his arms he cried. “My daughter.” “Oh. daddy: she sobbed and for a moment neither could speak. They walked silently into the house. Mrs. Grant, with tears in her eyes held her daughter lovingly in her arms. Baby Etizabeth came next and the big sister caught her in her arms and gave her such a sincere embrace that EMzaveth knew that indeed Nellie had not forgotten her and w’as glad to see her. “Oh Mother,” Nellie said in a sweet low voice, “I’ve been so lonesome without you and father and baby. I’ve often wished I were at home. Mrs. Van Dyke has been most kind to me and I’ve met delightful boys and girls, hut I could never forget my little mountain home.” Mrs. Van Dyke was the lady w’ho w as paying for Nellie’s education. She had seen the girl when Mr. Grant had taken her to Bern with him. Mrs. Grant was an old schoolmate and dearest friend and Mrs. Van Dyke wished Nellie to be educated with her daughter. “We’ve been lonesome without you, Nellie. It is going to be hard to let you go ’ ack again. Soon father w ill have enough money and we can go to Bern to live and t en you’ll be with us always,” replied Mrs. Grant. After dinner. Mr. Grant prepared to go to the store for the weekly supplies. Nellie consented to take a nap with Elizabeth while Mrs. Grant knitted in a large comfortable chair. Soon a drowsiness overcame the mother and she slept, dreaming sw’eet dreams. They had slept about an hour when suddenlv. Elizabeth, hearing a slight noise outside, sat up in her little bed. She rubbed her eyes sleepily and then putting on a thin coat went to the door and saw a beautiful red fox. “O, isn’t that sw'eet. Come here foxy,” she called softly, but the fox upon seeing her scampered off. Carefully shutting: the door Elizabeth followed the little animal not noticing the bitter cold. Tired from the chase she turned to go back. Far in the distance the little log cabin could e seen. How tried and cold she was! Her golden head was devoid of. covering. Her hands were bare and her stockings thin. She took a few steps towards home, and then sinking into the deep snow she made no attempt to rise. One pretty little pink cheek was on the cold snow. How nice and warm lie was! What beautiful things she saw! A little white angel was calling to her. She tried to reach out her hands, but they were stiff. At last she was fast asleep in the sleep that knows no awakening. Beau tifulf comforting Elizabeth had gone to comfort the angels in heaven. The next day dawned as beautiful a« the previous one. Outside everything was peaceful and happy. But within the cabin a broken hearted mother, father and sister mourned over the little body of Elizabeth. Mr. Grant had come home at sunset and followed the child’s tracks until he had found her frozen little body. Broken in heart and spirit, he carried her back to the cabin, where every attempt was made to recall the sweet departed life but to no purpose. Their darling was gone beyond the help of man. to the home of God. Sobbing an though her heart would reak, Nellie put her arms around her Mother and Fathe and brokenly said. “It is God’s will.” It was indeed the will of God. THE LOST KENTUCKY BLUE Charlie Whitworth 20. those traps down here?’’ “I’m after that deg that was lost up “Hello. Bob! You know a funny thing happened when I was down in the wamp fishing the other day.” “No. what was it ?” “Well, I had pretty good luck, so I stayed until after dark. and. as I was coming up through the thickest part of the swamp I saw' a strange looking hound. He looked as if he might be part wolf; but let me tell vou. Bob, he was a beauty. He just took one look at me and disappeared. I believe he would take a leg oft a person Just because I am a Negro you needn’t laugh at me. Bob.’’ “I wasn’t laughing at you Tom. I wms just thinking of your opinion about the dog. I’ll bet tw'o to one that he is that Mg Kentucky Bine that wa? lost up North two years ago. His owner put a large bounty-on him: so everybody’s trying to catch him. and he has g own very cunning. His owmer is now dead, but the bounty still lays on the dog. He was ueh i good hound that the old man wanted him caught and left with his son. I believe Tom I’ll start tomorrow.’’ The next morning. Bob packed his kit, took plenty of food, threw his tent over his shoulder and started for the swamp. After finding a dry place, he pitched his tent, and made h: n etf comfortable When Bob cooked his meals the e was sent out a sweet odor, that a hungry animal could not resist. Several da'-s na«sed without result : but the next night he saw the beautiful creature surveying him at a safe distance. Every night Bo’ would see him in the same manner, they were becoming friends very fast. A few days later Bob met a young man of about his own ace who h d large steel traps slung over his shoulder. “Hello, there: what are you doing with north a year or so ago. Have you seen anything of him?’’ “You don’t mean that you are going to try to catch him with those steel traps do you? Why. they would break his legs.” “What do you care, you are not the one I’m trapping.” Bob was of a medium size and had that wireframe of a good athlete. He was an easy going fellow and took well with his mates. The stranger was a good deal larger, but Bob was going to stand for his rights. “I suppose you're after him too. by tne wav you act.” “Yes, but I’m not using such means as you are.” They both were snapping fire and started to approach each other, but when a’ out to grapple, there was a dark fo m shot out from the bushes striking the stranger square in the breast, knocking him over. The stranger fell with such force that he lay quite still and the dog looked up into Bob’s face as if to say, “Now I’ve done my part, you do yours.” Bob rubbed his hand along hi- silkv back; then he turned and w-ent back to his tent, the dog following close behind and lying down in the doo - he watched the stranger disappear through the thicket. Bob wrote a letter up no’tli telling the old man’s son the manner in which he had caught the dog and how they had come to • e such good friends and an answer soon came back enctosing the bounty and telling him to keen the Kentucky Blue for it would not pav to separate the companions. Bob put the big hound at the head of his pack and he certainly made good in that position. HIS DOG. Edith Melrose, ’20. They were up in his room then. He was saying goodbye to the old familiar surroundings; to the snap shots and gay pennants on the wall; to his rack of guns and fishing rods and many other things that he had cherished since he was a little boy. Friskey, his little wirv-haired Fox Terrier, lay on the bed with head between paws and let her eyes rove from one object to another as he touched them. Presently he picked up his little “Twenty-Two and smiled as he remembered the first squirrel he had shot with it. The r!:'n was hanging there now. fie had tanned it himself rnd wa ’lost proud of it. Friskey jumped from the bed. She too. remembered that fl'st hunt. He was eleven and she was only a puppy but she had chased the squirrel and had almost caught it. when bang—would sh ever forget it— the gun had gone off and the squirrel dropped just in front of her. She had ve1 pod and run terrified to the home, but Davie bad whooped with joy ever his game. Davie was nineteen now. and having en-1 cd the day before he was waiting for his call. It would probably be a day or two before he would go and he was mak-frg the most of his time. He hung the squirrel skin back In place and fondled his gum one jjffer another. There was the old musket his grandfather had carried in th« rivil War and the “Winchester” his uncle had had in the Spanish American War. He was of fighting blood alright. Th re al o was his Colt revolver, his latest possession, and with one eye closed, he squ{nted into the barrel to be sure that it was clean. Presently he started to walk about the little room and pausing before the mirror ,%e danced at his uniform. He was not vain, but a uniform was so novel to him. and down in hh head he knew he looked handsome in it. But Frisky didn’t like it. To her it held some mystery, and because she could not comprehend the things that we-e happening these last few days she o-ried about it. She would run ‘to him end pew at hn leggings and look up yearningly into his face. Then he would take her on his shoulders and run about with her and. with paws tightly clasped about his neck, she would forget her troubles for a while and be filled with as much ecstasy as a dog can be. just to be near him. Then again he would sit in a chair and with Frisky before him on the floor, he would salute and say “forward march!” in a deep voice quite unnatural to her. She would thump her stubby tail against the floor and with ears cocked, wait for a chance to spring into his lap. “Aw come off ole top” he would say and pat her head caressingly. He loved to call er “ole top.” they were such good pals. Outside an April shower was doing its best to make the world feel sad. Davie was none too happy anyway in spite of the fact that he had been able to join the Field Artillery and to get in with a crack Battery with men the most of whom had seen service before. He hated to leave Frisky behind, for one thing he knew he would miss her dreadfully, but he didn’t rcaMze how much she would miss him. “Come on Friskv. let’s go down stairs or wc’M bo weeping here in a minute.” he said laughingly as he placed her on his back. The next morning the message came that he should leave for camp in the afternoon. Mr. Burke, Davie's father, drove the car to the door. Just as they were leaving the yard a white st’-eak came racing toward them and Friskv ? ounded on to the running bo rd she had never dared ride there before, but now she clung tightly lest Davie should get out of her sight. She barked wildly when the train rattled out of the station taking Davie away. She even followed it for nearly a mile and then when it got out of her sight, she came limping back, dejected and dirty, a pathetic-looking little creature. In the days that followed Frisky was lonely. Her best pal had left her and perhaps she would never see him again. Weeks passed and one dav a letter came f' om Davie saying that his regiment was moving. He didn't know where they were go ng he said, but he hoped it was toward New York. When the telegram came telling that Davie was severely wounded and Mrs. Burke cried. Frisky had curled up in the big leather chair and cried too, a most hum-like little whine. And now after two years he was home, red oh such a greeting as Frisky gave him. As the train rolled into the station Davie stood on the platform grinning from ear to ear. Frisky saw him at once and with one bound she cleared the platform and came within an inch of being run over by the train. She ran about wildly and pumped up and down yelping continuously, little qhort yelps of pure joy. She licked his hands standing straight up on her hind legs. Oh it was a big day for Frisky the day Davie came home. That afternoon, with the warm, April .sun shining on their backs and a soft April breeze blowing in their faces, Davie and Frisky tramped off toward the hills, where the brown slopes wrere fast changing to green. An hour later Mr. Burke, standing on the porch saw the two far up on a projecting tock at the very peak of the hill. The boy was sitting there pe fectly ''.till while a little w’hite Fox Terrior danced about him. snapping playfully at his hands, his hat, his shoes, grabbing his hat in her teeth and running off with it, ! ut always coming back to him agian. “See” 'raid Mr. Burke to his wife, and there were tears in his eyes a ; he pointed wit.: a large b.ov n hand. S.je the boy .nd his dog.” WHEN THE TABLES .URNED. Velma Butler, 21. The Granger family lived in the small western mining town of Garland. Mr. Granger, a hard-working persevering man had been killed in an accident at the mine thus leaving Tom, a boy of sixteen, and Maggie, thirteen years old, to support and care for their invalid mother. Tom worked for an ill-tempered shopkeeper, and from his meager salary of six dollars a week, he tried to save all he could, thinking that some day his mother could have the needed operation, and could enjoy a rest in the country until she became well. Dr. Regley, a noted, wealthy man. soon came to Garland to live, and on the day of his arrival, Tom happened to be at the station. As Mr. Regley had two suitcases and several parcels, he was having rather a difficult time. Tom, with his keen brown eyes saw this, and approaching him, said politely. “Sir. may I help you in any way?” “Thank you, my boy. Please tell me where 1 can stay for tonight. ' “At the Dew Drop Inn. sir, just across the street. May 1 help you with your suitcases?” Without waiting for an answer Tom picked up one of the,suitcases, and l.f the way across the street. When they reached the Inn Dr. R g!ov sa d. “I thank you. May I know your name?” “My name is Tom—Tom Granger.” “Sit down, Tom. I should like to talk with you.” Dr. Regley told Toni of his profession and asked about his work. Upon l virnin that Tom wras dissatisfied with his occupation, he said, “I should like very much if you would work for me. My wrife and daughter will arrive next week, and they will need someone to help them get the house straightened un. Them too. there will be various duties about the office for you to attend to. Will you come?” “Thank you, I believe I can. When shall I begin?” “Tomorrow morning, if you like. I shall have my office in Dr. Pratt’s place.” Tom had no trouble in being released from his old position, and reported to the doctor bright and early the next morning. One night a party of young people were out skating and Dr. Regley’s daughter. Marian, wTas rescued from drowning by the bravery of Tom. Mr. Regley then visited Tom’s mother, and complimented her on having such a brave son. When the doctor, in his talk with Mrs. Granger about her son, learned of her trouble, he planned with her to operate as soon as possible. Just a week before the day set for the operation, the doctor was called away to attend his sick brother. He was gone twro month!, and during that time Tom’s funds were cut short and his mother grew steadily worse. One day Tom received a letter from the doctor requesting him to get some valuable papers from the safe at Regley’s house, and to put them in the bank. He gave Tom the combination of the safe, saying he trusted him completely. He inclosed five dollars in the letter, saying that Tom should spend it for something he needed most. Duiing he afternoon of that same day, Tom’s sister said to him, “Oh Tom! Black Jim is in town again. Read this!” Tom took the paper from Maggie’s trembling hands and read: “Five hundred dollars leward will be given to the man who captures the bandit Black Jim, dead or alive! He was last seen at Mount Garland, Tuesday, at sunrise.” That night Tom went to Mr. Regley’s house, carrying a small lantern such as professional robbers generally use. He entered the house ty the cellar door, as Mr. Regley had directed; then he went to the library, opened the safe, secured the papers he wanted, and was almost ready to leave, when he heard someone coming up the cellar-stairs. He put out the light of his lantern, and then concealed himself behind a large curtain which hung there; the footsteps became louder; then they ceased entirely as if someone were listening intently; however, the man soon ap- Reared, and Tom saw from his concealed position that it was Black Jim, the bandit known by (he terrible scar on his forehead caused by a knife used by his enemy in one of his fights. Tom remained motionless, and almost breathless, watching the experienced safe-breaker, as he skilfully opened the safe, and took what money was the e. Tom’s poor bewildered mind was in a turmoil, and he could not think what actio-' v ouifi ' e best fo • him o take: but suddenly. Black Jim stood up, looked all around moving his flashlight in every corner, then he made one bolt for the front door, turned the key, and was gone. Tom arose from his cramped position, and had no sooner done so, then Pat Murphy, the only sheriff at Garland, burst into the room. “Sure now an’ I’ve caught ye wid the goods, haven’t 1? Bridget says, says she ‘There’s a light in Rcgley’s house, ’so I come straight over, an’ the Saints be praised that 1 did.” “Please, sir. let me explain how—” “Begorra, an’ it’s no chance you’ll get to explain. You come with me. The papers in the hand of ye explain enough.” So saying, he handcuffed Tom, and led him away to the little jail. Tom felt grieved to think that anyone would mistake him for a thief, but the evidences where against him: the safe was open; the papers were in Tom’s hands: rnd no one else was in the room at Murphy’s arrival. Tom was held at the jail for two days, and during that time he nearly worried himself sick thinking of his mother and sister at home alone. Dr. Regley saved the day by arriving at the end of Tom’s second day in prison. He explained everything to the block-headed Mr. Murphy, and took Tom from prison. That evening Mrs. Regley invited Tom over to spend the evening with them, and by Tom’s beaming face and the light in his eyes as he walked home, it was evident that he had spent a very enjoyable evening. After Tom had told of his encounter with Black Jim, searching parties were sent out. Most of them went to a woods near by. but Tom went to Mount Garland, where the rol ber had been seen at first. He met Black Jim, leveled his borrowed gun at him, and was surprised when he dropped to the ground. Tom thought that Jim was feigning, so he approached carefully, only to find that the bandit was dead. Tom hired a farmer to assist him in taking Jim to town, where Tom told of Jim’s strange death. A week later Tom received the reward and was a very happy boy. Dr. Regley operated successfully on Mrs. Granger, and then sent her to a resort nearby so that she might recuperate. Mrs. Regley said she wanted Maggie Granger to become a well-educated girl, so with the doctor’s help, she sent Maggie to a school in Denver. Four years later, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Granger were the owners of Dew Drop Inn. and Mrs. Granger, or Marian as we better know her, delighted in telling of how her husband received the reward for the capture of the dreaded bandit. Black Jim. THE AURORA. Raymond Twas the close of an early spring twilight. As the day slip’t away into night, And the stars they crept out from their hiding And shone forth in full glory, God’s light. Yes. but who was that luminous stranger Like a lingering ray left from the sun. Left behind from the radiant sunset, When the day stole away, his work done. It extended up into the heavens, A streamer of rose-hued light. Then it changed from the rose into lilac With its edges of silvery white. Then a wonder appeared in the heavens, For a streamer of saffron-gold light Evans 20. Then rose from the eastern horizon And met with the one tipped with white ’Twas a bow of celestial radiance, That ribbon of beauty so rare, ’Till in separate streamers ’twas severed And slowly returned from midair. All the heavens were covered with glory, And the darkness gave way to the light, And the stars o’er the northern horizon Gleamed like far-away lamps in the night. Through the long night they fitfully glimmered. With their colors nowr faint, and now bright, ’Till the sun in full glory arising Put the luminous strangers to flight.

Very va,uaWp DEMOSTHENIAN By T. L The unusual interest Mondovi High School has always shown in debating was not lacking this year, although the work wae greatly hindered by many discouraging circumstances. The first work In debating this year was carried on in the boys' Literary Society. The several debates that were held were, to say the least, interesting. Much more so, perhaps, from the fact that the boys were, as far as possible, left upon their own initiative. The ability and resourcefulness shown in these debates gave hope of strong interscholastic teams for Mondovi high SOCIETY Moe. school. This hope was greatly strengthened when representatives of the boys society met the representatives of the girls society in the third annual debate. The girls of course, nearly won. The first interscholastic debates were held about the middle of March. The question for debate was “Resolved that a league of nations to guarantee permanent peace is practicable.” The debates were under the auspices of Lawrence College, Mondovi being in a quadrangular league composed of Eau Claire, Menomonie, Chippewa Falls and Mondovi.

A COUNTY NURSE NEEDED C. W. Buffalo County made a forward move when its County Board took the steps necessary to secure a County Agricultural Agent. Already Mr. Wheaton is at work. He lias placed himself at the disposal of the farmers, holding himself in readiness to assist them in the solution of an agricultural problem. Farmers, by availing themselves of his assistance can secure valuable aid in securing better seed, better live stock, or solution of soil problems. We predict, however, that Mr. Wheaton will achieve his best and most lastng results through his efforts with the children. Through corn clubs, calf clubs, pig clubs, earning clubs, and the like, the children will become interested in better crops, better live stock, better agriculture. But although there is a real need and a large field far an agricultural agent in Buffalo County, it seems tj me that there is a greater, more pressing, and immediate need for a county nurse. Recently, a child of nine years was sent to my office, charg’d with skipping school. Upon being questioned, he said that he was afraid to remain in school and not be able to get his spelling le-son, and that he could not study well because of his toothache. An examination of the child’s mouth revealed two permanent teeth In an advanced state of decay. Unless that child is followed up by some interested person, he will have to go through life handicapped because of lack of teeth. 1 have no doubt that if a competent physician were to examine the school children of the city of Mondovi, he would find numerous cases of goitre, enlarged tonsils, defective eyes, ears and teeth, ailments which, unless discovered, and properly treated now, will impede our childrens’ Dodge growth and normal development both physically, and mentally, and result in weak, unfit, and inefficient men and women. It is the business of the county nurse to visit the schools, examine the children, and if she finds a child defective in any way to visit the home and point out to the parents the best and cheapest line of action for the correction of the trouble. Of course the ab.ve is merely illustrative of one line of endeavor of a visting nurse. Others which readily suggest themselves are: campaigns through theschools or other organizations for the formation of right habits with reference to care of the teeth, care of the nails, proper diets, and personal cleanliness both internal and external. During the recent past, Buffalo County people have suffered from Spanish influenza. There were instances where whole families were sick at the same time and cases where people died from lack of care. Can any one doubt that there would have been fewer deaths, had some competent nurse with executive ability gene into a threatened community, organized the people f r the purpose of preventing the spread of the contagion, and called for volunteers to care for the sick? From time to time we hear of a death due to tuberculosis. Would a definite investigation throughout the county, for the purpose of finding what families or individuals are afflicted be of any benefit to the communities in which they live or to themselves and the peop'e with whom they are associated? Let the citizens of Mondovi and vicinity think over this problem with a view to bringing before the County Board the desirability, advisability and necessity for the employment of a County Nurse. COMMERCIAL. The road to commercial success is somewhat like the road to happiness—a self-built one. It is important to have in mind a well defined goal. Success depends on character, integrity, persistence and ability. Stenography is the natural result of business evolution. It has become recognized as a necessary course of study to supply demand. If a toy or girl has ambition and talent, stenography is a short cut to success. Perhaps there is no work that pays more in proportion to value received than it does. Secretaries who give the exact service wanted can usually secure the salary asked; while the poor service gets the small pay it honestly earns. The market price of shorthand is in close ratio with the quality of work done. It is a safe foothold for those who do not hesitate to put forth an effort to climb. Secretarial training is a subject of absorbing interest and should be a stimu-lir to the stenographic student. Shorthand and typewriting should be made intensely fascinating su’ jects. Their usefulness merits it. The necessary time given to so much practice in preparing lessons to make the course successful justly deserves much credit for the patient labor that is seldom realized by non-writers. The attainment of skill repre- rents diligent, earnest work and is the result of right practice; practice that is attended by harsh disappointment as well as I he pleasure of success. In finishing a satisfactory course a student has evidenced both workability and stickability; but the «ffo t is well worth the time to those who intend to make practical use of the subject. Shorthand opens to the average student a vista of unlimited possibilities in I he way of business advancement that rothir.g else offers. Regardless of the fact that the door of commercial opportunity does not open so wide to women as to non, the list of women stenographers who have achieved success is as endless as that of the men. The art of shorthand dates back at least to ancient Greece and with all the invention-. fashions and systems that have perished since that time it is more widely used and is of greater value to the world today than ever before. Efficiency in hs u e is advantageous in almost any profession or business. It plays a great part in business emergencies and in such crises no one is worth more than the stenographer who renders service. It is not only a practical instrument in commercial work, but a valuable accomplishment and a means of mental culture. COMMERCIAL. Since the business world demands of its employees a commercial knowledge, the public schools must give commercial training a place in its course of study. However important other subjects are, if we are progressive we mint meet the full requirements. There is no education too broad for a business man’s equipment but the fundamentals of a commercial education, of which bookkeeping is an essential factor are necessary to a business career. Good methods economize time and energy and whatever is labor-saving is money-saving. Elementary bookkeeping offers a simple, practical stm’y that of itself commands the interest of the student and impresses upon his mind an idea of the methods and customs in business transactions, and prepares him to keep a set of books accurately. Theory is an important essential in all education though to be able to apply principle is of far mo-e practical value than merely to define it. Possibly one of the most valuable characteristics of the study of bookkeeping is that it stimulates the student to think for himself and thereby helps to cultivate self-reliance and independence which alone are worth the time given to it. It has become an accepted fact that a person capitalizing a business without a knowledge of bookkeeping has many disadvantages. a knowledge of the correct records of all transactions is the fundamental basis of th° desired effective, economic regulations of the affairs of every corporation or individual. Some of the reasons for a course in bookkeeping are: It teaches system, resourcefulness, and accuracy. Tt familiarizes the student with the common business papers and give practice in using them. It gives ability to record the largest number of transactions correctly in the shortest time possible. It is helpful preparation for any business. It develops efficiency, which means in an office the greatest amount of work with best results at the least cost. It trains in neatness, is interesting, and wPl earn a desirable salary. It is a valuable source of knowledge which underlies the whole system of business education. The mission of commercial training is not only to give a practical knowledge of general office work but also to accomplish the true purpose of all education: the training of the mind to its full capacity for good and for worthy, intelligent effort activity and power. OUR SCHOOLS AND THE COUNTY FAIR. Miss Nettie Ellenberger. At our Buffalo County Fair last fall materials were gathered from the Domestic Science, Commercial, Teachers’ Training and Agricultural Departments of The High School and from all the grades. The.v were also some splendid displays supplied by the Rural Schools of our county. Through the County Fair exhi it the practical work done by the pupils is brought before the public. This not only arouses interest in the public, but also encourages each child to do his best in order that his work may be displayed at the fair. The grades were represented by collections of water colors; freehand drawings; maps, product, outline and modeled; posters; penmanship exe rises; kuittiug, aprons; booklets and bird charts. The Commercial Department wa3 represented ly: bookkeeping sets; typewritten work; and business letters. This display proves to the public the efficiency of this department. The Domestic Economy Department displayed wool, gingham and linen dresses; underclothing, yokes, aprons, night -gowns, kimonos and towels by the sewing department, besides jellies, pickles and samples of cold-packed canning of tomatoes, pears, carrots, peaches, beans and beets of our culinary department. This display shows what the Domestic Economy Department is doing toward preparing the girls for life in the home. The Agricultural Department was not represented with as large a collection a3 last year. In the spring our High School boys went on farms to co-operate with the farmers in solving the great food problem. Nevertheless, emphasis was placed upon the raising of dairy calves, baby beef and seed corn. The following is a list of premiums won I y our schools at this last county fair: First, Baby Beef, Charlie Whitworth $12.00 Second, Baby Beef, Donald Giese .. 10.00 Third, Baby Beef, Alex Lunderville 8.00 Second.

The course also provides for eighteen weeks of observation and practice work in the grades where the pupils are under the supervision of efficient teachers. Here they come in contact with the problems of teaching such as: Preparation of lesson plans, supervision of study periods, and methods of securing discipline. This course, beginning with the third high school year comprises a study of four subjects. Reading, including story-telling, language-composition and grammar, are given the first semester; arithmetic and geography during the second. The subject matter is presented as material which the student will soon be teaching. Method and device are emphasized. In the course in reading, two purposes are emphasized. Students are taught how to study a selection and are given methods for presenting it to grammar grade classes. In the study of language, composition, and grammar attention is directed to the close relation existing between reading, storytelling, spelling and writing. The work in psychology, beginning with the fourth year, is given, with the preparation for teaching in mind. This being an elementary course, no great stress is laid upon technichal terms, but familiar, concrete examples to illustrate fundamental principles, are called for. During the second semester of the fourth year in order to complete the study of mind and body, the pupils are required to review physiology. A course, during the fifth year, is given in school management and administration in addition to the usual problems of schoolroom management. In this course the relation of the teacher to the community and the state and a brief survey of rural life problems is discussed. The second semester of the fifth year a course in method and observation is given. This course deals with the teaching process through a study of the general principles of method, and their application to special subjects under consideration.

A somewhat uneventful year has been ours in basketball. The “flu” made it impossible to do anything at all with the sport until after the Christmas vacation, when a start was made and practice wras carried on for about three weeks. One game was played during that time with Black River F’alls at their hall and our boys proved their mettle by defeating them 16 to 8. It was a good beginning and a good season was anticipated, ut again the “Flu” played its havoc and for eight weeks the boys “rested.” We had given up all hope of having any basketball whatever for the remainder of the year, but by the first of March the ban was lifted and with a couple of night’s practice our boys gave the Black River Falls aggregation a return game and the result was 30 to 12 in favor of Mondovi. The next week was to be the eventful one at the tournament at Eau Claire. It was thought for a time that due to the lack of practice and having played practically no games whatever, we would not try our “whirl” at it, but, finally, with a couple of night’s practice, the team left for Eau Claire. Fifteen big, strong teams were entered and a fast tournament was assured. At the drawing, Mondovi was comparatively lucky this year, when it is remembered that always lefore Eau Claire seemed to be her Jonah, that large school having been met first in other years. The game was played at three p. m. on Thursday, and it surely was some game. Our team seemed to be an old primed team, one that had spent a good, thorough season, for at the end of the game Mondovi was at a tie with Stanley 16 to 16. That called for a five minutes’ over-time period. The playing was fast and furious and, with about half a minute left to play, the score stood 18 to 19 in favor of Mondovi. But as the fates would have it, Mondovi was penalized on charging, giving Stanley two free throws, which they made, $nd the score was 19 to 20 in favor of Stanley. The shot rang out shortly afterwards and Mondovi had the short end. By losing the game we had to face a strong class of opponents, having to meet Chippewa Falls next—a team that had held the strong Eau Claire team to a 20 to 23 score only a week before. Our inexperience at basket shooting and fast floor work proved our undoing and Mondovi again lost. A good brand of basketball was exhibited, however, and the boys should be congratulated on their game fighting and spirit, shown after a very handicapped season. It is too bad that the fates should deal us such a hard blow when we realize that some of our strong basketeers are Seniors this year. A big hole will be left by Capt. Jost the veteran forward, and Berg the stalwart guard. B g John Roffler is also leaving a big position at center. We arc going to miss their aggressive floor work and basket shooting. Had the season boon a good one, these men undoubtedly would have put Mondovi on the top of the map. We’re sorry but blame the “Flu.” The underclass member} of the team— Roland Claflin. James Blown, Sanford Ede and Sammy Blum were all there when the game was the warmest. Jimmie certainly made a good showing for his first year with the team, his floor w'ork being of the best. Roland’s strength lay in his basket shooting ability and good floor work. An examination of the material available for next season affords a promising outlook. Besides the last four mentioned players, there is some worthy material in Knowiton Claflin, Alton F’unk, Lester Colby and Fred Harrison. With a summer’s grow th and a conditioning they should make a strong I id for places on next year’s team. We are hoping for the best for next season, and with the “Flu” a thing of the pa t, will undoubtedly be able to carry out a complete schedule and good season. By Sammy Blum, Athletic Editor. It is only right for us to say something about Mr. Thompson, our coach. There had been a fewr practices before he came, but with no results. There was no one to advise us or point out our faults, except that once in a while an old grad would come up to the hall and help us out. When they were helping us things went smoothly, but as soon as we were left to ourselves then things went wrong. With such practices no results could be obtained. Then came Christmas vacation, and tasketball wras suspended. When school started again we had a coach and a very efficient one. The boys had new pep and everything wfent along fine under Coach Thompson’s able supervision. He showred us our faults and gave us pointers, as only an able coach can We certainly were lucky to get a coach of his ability and we all hope he will be with us again next year. Football as a sport in our school has been discontinued for several reasons. But. nevertheless, there probably would have been class games, had not the “Flu” compelled us to close school for six weeks during the football season. Rut even with foot! all at its best here, basketball is the main sport. The outlook for next year is bright, but one thing that handicaps us greatly is the lack of hall where we can practice any time without going to a great expense for hall rent. A plan to fix up one of the large buildings on the fairgrounds is proposed and we, as a student body certainly hope it will materialize. If anything is going to boost our athletics, and give the boys a place to go to instead of loafing, it is such a hall. FUTURE, PRESENT, PAST. Bessie Robin'on 20. The past is gone forever. But the present is still your own. For you there is no future, Only present is to you shown. Depend not on tomorrow. For tomorrow will never come. You do a thing right now. 30, ’Twill be finished and surely done. Beware your future is waiting But you need not be ’fraid of that. Your past fled on a swift wing. And the present flies just as fast. Girls’ Basket Ball Team The girls’ basketball team was indeed very unfortunate this year in being able to play only one game. We had games scheduled with Osseo and Independence, but on account of the “flu” ban we were not permitted to p ay. Perhaps the saddest part of it is that the first team was ( ntirely composed of Seniors, so we won’t be back next year to p’av the games which we should have played this year. The first, last and only game of the season was played in Mondovi against Fairchild. Our opponents had practiced a great deal more than we had and they had played against many other teams; but nevertheless we put up a good fight and came out victorious with the score of 19 to 14. The Fairchild team showed their good spotsmanship ty taking their defeat very gracefully. The line-up for Mondovi was— Forwards: Anna Aase and Amy Brown- lee. Centre: Verna Benning. Guards: Helen Funk and Jeanette Thompson. Subs: Francs Jacobi, Grace Claflin, Vera Amunson. We give a good share of the credit of this victory to our coach Miss Gregerson who faithfully and skillfully worked with us all through the season. We dare say her efforts were not in vain and regret that wTe could not have played more games and had more victories to our credit. Although, as I stated before, the first team will be gone from M. H. S. next year, there is good material left in the other classes to make up a good team. We extend our hearty thanks and appreciation to Miss Gregerson for her services and we hope that she will be back next year to help the team show us a 100 per cent record.

The six contestants in the local contest all did justice to themselves and 10 the schooL The judges gave Sammy Blum first place and Edwin Jost second. Both speakers did admirably well at Neillsville and Mon-('ovi had sufficient reason to be disappointed with the decision of the judges. Sammy received second place and was sent to the league contest at Eau Claire. At Eau Claire he received third place and received a good deal of consolation in learning that he won, by a large margin, over the speakers who got first at Neillsville. There is much promising material in the lower classes and so the outlook for the future is very encouraging. Sammy will be back again —vt veer and we expect him to bring back the cup to dondovi. Declamatory Team Anna Aasc The declamatory work, this year, was entered into, with a will, by representatives from the three upper classes: Anna Aase, Verna Benning, Jeannette Thompson from the Senior Class; Edith Luetscher, Agnes Aimour from the Junior; Mary Fabst, Vera Amunson from the Sophomore. The Freshmen—we are sorry to say—were unrepresented. This was not because of lack of good material—but because of their own natural timidity plus the too limited time cn the part of the trainer to insist upon their entrance into the big contest. There were about six who first decided they would enter—then, taking a w man’s privilege, changed their minds. The Home Contest was entered into by the seven above mentioned, all of whom did marvelously well, considering the few rehearsals that were alloted to each (“Flu was responsible for this). The first place was most deservedly awarded to Anna Aase; Mary Pabst and Edith Luetscher ran close for second, but the former won oui. Mary Pabst The only thing that kept us from bringing the cup from Neillsville, where the League Contest was held, was the decision of the judges. We believe our contestants surpassed the others for second place if not first. But judges are supposed to be human and, therefore, may have opinions of their own. Well, we enjoyed the trip, anyway. Have you noticed how straight certain girls sit; how gracefully, walk; how modulated, their tones; well enunciated, their words? Have you marvelled? No Need. They are members of the Expression Class. We are lavished with indifference—or shall I say tolerance? We are never criticized now, for anything we do. “Oh, it’s just the Expression Class”—this covers a multitude of sins. However, we have worked while others laughed, and I believe most of the girls have improved on one or more points. While most people are able to talk, these nine have learned to express themselves— physically, mentally, spiritually, and vocally. Affirmative Team The Affirmative team composed of Anna Aase, Edwin Jost and Herbert Hawkinson, secured the necessary two thirds against Menom-onie High school. Each school in the league won and lost one debate, so thewinning school was selected by figuring percentages. Menomonie received first place and later debated the winners of another league. The Mondovi debaters, however, feel quite satisfied to think that they won from the school that received third place in the state. Negative Team The Negative team composed of Amy Brownlee, Russell Quar-berg and William Ellenberger met Bau Claire High School at Eau Claire. They did justice to themselves and to the school, and although they offer no alibi, they cannot reconcile themselves to the decision rendered. It was a case not entirely unusual—of the best team losing. Your Autography please. Mr. Thompson felt the point which the class sees LATIN. Uarda Evans. Latin is the one language, except English, which is now most generally studied in our high schools. For the last twenty-five years the study of Latin in the secondary schools of the country has been growing rapidly, there being an increase of 100,000 in the enrollment between 1910 and 1915. Next after English, History and Algebra, which are required of practically all high school pupil3, Latin has the highest enrollment of any secondary school subject. The persistence of Latin shows that the masses believe in its practical value. What are some of the values of a high school Latin course? Let us consider the question first from the standpoint of the person who does not expect to have the advantages of a college education. Its value as a background for English is of the utmost importance. In our patriotic speeches and articles at the present time we are strongly urging the adoption of one language, and that language the English language. To know this thoroughly one must have a knowledge of Latin, the source of over one-half of our English words today. A course in Latin is doing a patriotic duty to the young people in our high schools if it helps them to read with understanding and appreciation our current periodicals and our best standard literature. Then, too, the student with a knowledge of Latin grammar almost invariably can grasp English sentence structure more readily than his less favored classmate, while his Latin vocabulary ena les him to make fine distinctions in the meanings of the countless words derived from Latin. The high school graduate is constantly coming in contact with the modern busy world. Does he 3ee traces of Latin anywhere? Everywhere! In our daily papers and magazines wre find references to classical subjects in many advertisements and design work, which the person without a knowledge of Latin cannot appreciate. What is the source of such terms as exit, etc., A. M., P. M., P. S., and of such mottoes as “E Pluribus Unum,” used or read every day? Who but the Latin student can fully appreciate their meaning? Latin serves to supplement the pupil’s knowledge of Ancient or Roman History, to broaden his vision, and to enlarge his understanding of life. Here the child learns to know' some of the sturdy Roman characters firsthand, and the wonderful race from which so much of our civilization has come. Only the student who has had a taste of Caesar’s description of the Gallic wars, the powerful orations of Cicero, and the imagery and beauty of Virgil's poetry can appreciate fully English and American literature. The 3tudent of modern languages finds his comprehension of the grammar and and his appreciation of the literature of those languages increased infinitely by his knowledge of Latin. Viscount Bryce says. “Ancient classical literature is the common possession of all civilized peoples. Every well-educated man in every educate ed country is expected to have some knowledge of it. It is the one ground on which they all meet. It is therefore the living tie between the great modern nations.” The teachers in all other courses have always claimed that Latin is of the highest value to any high school pupil, and especially so to those who expect to prolong their education beyond a four year high school course. Another great value obtained from the study of Latin is its value in mental discipline. It takes a certain amount of determination, stick-to-it-iveness, perseverance and keen perception to prepare a Latin lesson every day of the school year, and the pupil who learns to do this and to do it with a degree of interest and success, has acquired some characteristics essential to meeting the big things of later life. For those people who are planning to enter almost any higher sphere of life a knowledge of Latin is essential. The minister, the musician, the lawyer, the doctor, the druggist and the business man all agree that Latin has its place in helping them master the terms and the business of their professions. Those who fail to take advantage of this course often regret it in later years. The Latin course as outlined in our high school consists of four years’ work: (1) A Freshman Latin Course, consisting of a thorough drill in the forms and syntax of ordinary Latin grammar, together with easy translation work. This course is made as interesting and instructive as possible by connecting the ancient language with our modern conditions in every possible way. A Latin scrap took was made this year by each pupil, in which a record was kept of the various ways in which the pupil found for himself a direct relation between this course and other high school courses or the life about him. (2) The Latin II course continues the grammar, and takes up the translation of an equivalent of four books of Caesar’s Gallic War. Some easy Latin plays based on Roman History and a few novels of ancient setting, such as Davis' “Friend of (’ersar” are also read. (3) and (4) The third and fourth year work is offered alternately, Cicero’s Orations being read one year, and Virgil’s Arnold the next. Interesting side reading is taken up with this, and the few who elect the advanced courses seem to appreciate them. Latin prose also has its place in connection with each of these courses. Much has been said in opposition to Latin, and at times the tendency has been to discourage the subject. But still it lives and always will because of its infinite value. The old “bugbear’’ of a high school course is fast disappearing, and well it might, for Latin is not, as some have misrepresented it, a dead and uninteresting language. It is alive in every branch, an interesting study, if approached in the right attitude, and one from which a knowledge, an interest and a certain source of satisfaction grows, which will last forever. Although in after life one may forget much that he has learned, he can never lose the influence upon his character, and those who take it enter other fields of knowledge with a keener perception of the things which make life worth the living. THE USKl( ILTI’KAL OKI KTM ENT By E. C. Thompson It has taken years of persistent work and discussion to put the subject of Agriculture into a prominent place in the education of the present American boy or girl. Headin’, writin’ and ’rithmctic were considered the sole foundations upon which most of the time alloted in school should be spent. Gradually experience showed that although some boys and girls were at school, their minds were at home thinking about the project or animal that they had a life interest in. Thus it came to be assumed that along with the regular academic courses, vocational work would help develop the pupil, until today, Agriculture, Domestic Science and the like are to be found in nearly all High Schools and Rural schools in the states. The Agriculture in our High School has kept pace with the constant demands for home work along with the school Agriculture work and has accomplished some interesting things in this line. Boys left their schools to battle for the work, girls donned the work suit to take the places of men at home. Agriculture in the secondary schools fought a hard battle, for there were no .nen to fill the places. Mondovi fought its battle well, so well indeed that the Agriculture work continued at its height. With the efforts of Supt. Dodge in keeping up the project work, the boys and girls were able to make some good showings in all branches of work. Some of the clubs that are worthy of note are found discussed elsewhere. BABY BEEF CLUB The boys decided they would like to see Inst, and Dirctor. what they could accomplish in the raising of prime bee ’ calves and farmed a club with about five members in it. The boys worked faithfully during the summer and were able to raise some of the individuals shewn in the cuts. Aren’t they beauties? How would you like to own one v. f them? Get in line for the next season. The results at the Buffalo County Fair were as follows: Chas. Whitworth, 1st prize; Alex Lunderville, 2nd prize; Donald Giese, 3rd prize. Good substantial cash prizes were attached to the places and a handsome sum was realized by the boys. The club was resumed this year with a membership of 12 boys. Donald Giese was elected Prts. and Ralph Seyforth, Sec. Treas. At this writing, all calves are doing 3 :csptkmaly well, and with some purebred calves in the club, chosen from some of the best herds, the b ys should make a good showing. We are all wishing for the b'v . Good luck! SHEEP CLUB Through the efforts of Mr. Houser, two crrload lots of sheep were imported and sold out to members around the community, each pupil taking some, becoming a member of the club. The club had a proud member list as high as about 30 to 35 members. It was a money-making proposition for them and they made good. The club still has a large membership and intends to make some good showings with its individual representatives this fall. PA IKY CAt F, IMG ANI) OTHER CLUBS Although the Sheep and Baby Beef Clubs were of the greatest consequence last year, there were others that held the stage as well. The Dairy Calf Club was an active and entergetic organization and some of the calves shown in the cuts make some enviable records in the Fairs and exhibitions held during the fall. The Dairy Calf Club of this year is fully wide awake and several of the members are raising Pure Breed calves, a point in advance of last year, when very few were Pure Breed calves. The boys as well s s their fathers are beginning to see the value of putting time and hard work on good stock to begin with, then the fullest anticipations of success can be attained. We must constantly be on the alert and keep pace with the ever increasing demand for better stock as well as bet-t' ' boys and girls. the boys are going to try to have a goodly amount of seed corn to dispose of. proviJ-i.j the season is favorable. THE AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT AND THE FARM BOY The years spent in High School by the present boy, help greatly in fitting that boy for success in life. J-Ie needs to choose a work that will meet all requirements .ind will give him a foundation for his line of work. The boy needs vocational training to teach him to use his eye and hand as well as his brain, and these things he can develop in Farm Mechanics, Chemistry, Stock Judging and Soils studies. If he intends to return to the farm he will have a foundation to build upon, so that he can feel satisfaction in doing things they should be done. He must choose wisely. ft Some very good crops of corn and grain were also raised by the boys, and with a large increase in the club members for thi3 year and pure-bred seed corn being used Mr. C. W. DODGE Chock full of learning he. and what Is more. Can so impact to others from his store, They listen interested he’s no bore. Mr. E. C. THOMPSON Officer and gentleman, sans reproche.
