THE MIRROR THE FACULTY Mr Dodge is head of the Faculty His leadership is easy to see, And as a principal he’s fine Efficient along most any line In classes managed by Miss Jones We never find a place of drones. She keeps the training teachers buzz’en Each spring she turns them out by dozens. Mr. Thompson, we all like to meet, As athletic coach he’s hard to beat. And, with his training from the U, He keeps the boys with work to do. Miss Shervey sure can cook and bake Most anything from pie to cake. And at sewing she can make a seam As easy as if it were a dream. Miss Meisekothen rules room B, And teaches the Freshies A plus Z. In geometry with chalk and string She has a way to prove anything. Miss Wilkinson, we know to be A teacher of integrity. She does at I.atin far excel, And that she’s blithe we know full well. Mr. Oldridge, master of each song, Keeps school much brighter all day long, The orchestra we all will say Is greatly improving too each day. Miss Durch, a pleasant English guide, Insists that we by grammar bide, And she, I think, we all agree Can teach us English from A to Z. Miss McGlasson comes from Kentucky The commercial students sure are lucky And when it comes to book-keeping class We find her methods hard to surpass. Mr. Grueneisen to us is new But we’ve heard said by not a few, That history for him is a snap, He'll show new places upon a map. The teachers are from far and near Each day they fill our hearts with cheer, And we all feel as if we owe To them more than anyone can know. THE MIRROR EDITORIAL The publication of this annual has a double purpose. It is evidence to those who are supporting our high school that work is being done that justifies that support. It is a souvenir which will be highly prized, especially in years to come when those who constitute the senior class of 1921 will be scattered far and wide—a look at it will bring them all together again. It is dedicated to the faculty as a tribute on the part of the students of the efficiency of their instructors, without whose work there would have been no senior class ready to step out and do its share of the world’s work. It can be fairly claimed that this school year has been an all-around success. Both debating teams won; on the athletic side our football and basket ball teams have kept up our reputation in the matter of sports. The regular educational work is never spectacular and it does not lend itself to display. There is no outside crowd to cheer successful scholastic achievement. But good work is being done which will bear fruit in the future, and it would be difficult to recall a year in which there has been such cordial co-operation between teacher and student. May we make a brief reference to the objection that is sometimes made against the activities of the High School, that they over shadow the other and more important activities. It is true that they catch more of the public eye. For a hundred who will pay to see a game there is scarcely one who will visit the school at no cost and see it at work. But the objection is not well founded in fact. In the first place athletic activities are carried on in out-of-school hours. No school time is taken except on the few occasions where the teams have to travel to other towns. In the second place, they are an aid to scholarship, because no student who is below the requisite educational standard can retain his or her place on an athletic team. And lastly, athletics are themselves an important factor in education, which has to do not only with the development of the mind but also with the development of the body. The rightly educated man or woman is one who has “mens sana in corpore sano” a sound mind in a sound body. In conclusion, the writer wishes to acknowledge to the full the help she has received not only from every member of the editorial staff but also from members of the faculty. If the Mirror of 1921 is a worthy successor of those that have preceded it, it is largely due to the loyal and effective cooperation which the writer has had and which she gratefully acknowledges. —Vera Amunson.

The others have come from neighboring schools to join us in the grades and in High School. We all worked very diligently, although we encountered difficulties. The first year proved very successful so we were promoted to the second grade. At the end of this year many of our schoolmates left our class, but others joined us and took their places. In the third grade we had our first class picture taken. That year ended with a picnic at the Point under the chaperonage of Miss Schmidt, our teacher, and it was at this picnic that our report cards were given out. Nothing of special interest happened during the fourth and fifth grades, except that we worked diligently until we reached the sixth grade. Here we were most wonderfully entertained by the Magadance twins, the teacher being unable to tell them apart. In the seventh grade the big event of the year was the declamatory contest with the eighth grade in w hich Mary Pabst received first place. In the winter we enjoyed a class sleigh ride party, chaperoned by Miss Johnson and Mr. Hester. We were promoted to the eighth grade where we had the pleasure of having Miss Anna Smith for our teacher. It was here also that a declamatory contest was held between the seventh and eighth grades. All the prizes were awarded to the eighth graders. Mary Pabst was given first, Helen Hammon, second and Evelyn Blum, third. We chose old rose and silver for our class colors, and purchased class pins to distinguish us from the lower classmen. In September, nineteen hundred and seventeen, about forty bashful little folks enrolled as Freshmen in the Mondovi High School. What a proud feeling we had as we marched up three flights of stairs. We were told to go into room B and to make ourselves at home, but we acted frightened and green as only THE MIRROR Freshmen can. As we marched into the main room to learn all of the whys and wherefores of High School Life, we trembled with fear. How we envied the Seniors. Hard were the days for the timid little Freshmen and few were the ente-tainments of that long year. However, the Sophomores entertained us most royally at a reception which we certainly appreciated. Daring oar Freshman year we were told to choose class officers. We elected Greay Hurtley, president, Lawrence Fitzgerald, vice president, and Charles Whitworth, secretary and treasurer. Mary Pabst again displayed her speaking ability and we sent her away to represent us at the League Declamatory contest held at Black River Falls. September, nineteen hundred and eighteen, came only too quickly. This time the class appeared bolder, and they entered into school activities with remarkable spirit. Frances Jacobi was chosen President for the Sophomore year. Lawrence Fitzgerald, vice-president and Velma Butler, secretary and treasurer. Again we sent May Pabst to represent Mondovi High at the League Declamatory Contest at Neilsville. The warm lazy days of September passed and along with October came football and the Hallowe’en. The rest of the year brought basket ball, Junior Red Cross, and last but not least, good hard study. Our Junior year was a great year for us. We elected Ralph Smith, president, Joyce Ruseling, vice president, and Lawrence Fitz secretary and treasurer. During our Junior year we established our fame by giving a class play entitled, “Aaron Bogg’s Freshman” which was one of the best plays ever presented by the Mondovi High School. Mary Pabst not only represented us in the triangular debate against Me-nomonie, but also represented us in the League, District and State Declamatory contests. We won first place in the State Stock Judging contest at Madison through the correct judging of two Alumni and Charles Whitworth. It has been the custom for the Juniors to hold a banquet in honor of the Senior Class, so we decided to keep up the custom. The banquet was held in the M. E. Church basement. Games were played and at supper appropriate toasts were given by the school board, faculty and the President of the Junior and Senior Classes. Then came three months of rest, and the Juniors departed for a long vacation. September, nineteen hundred and twenty came. The worthy title of Senior had descended upon the class. We were all a little bit afraid as to what the coming year had in store for us. You see there was a new principal and several new teachers. Many activities took place during the year. Charles Whitworth, with two alumni, represented us at the Stock Judging Team at Madison. The two debating teams made up mostly of Seniors, this year showed us their ability on the field, competing with several good teams. Our basket ball team won most of their games, and they journeyed to the tournament at Eau Claire. Several of our class mates took part in declamatory and oratory. Last but not least, our class play was a success. The year passed quickly as we worked hard under the new faculty. When summer came the Seniors were ready to depart. Everyone hated to leave the old M. H. S. and all wished that their high school days were just commencing instead of ending. —Evelyn Blum, —Frances Jacobi. THE MIRROR CLASS PROPHECY It was a bright moonlight night in early June and having nothing else to do, I thought I would get out my plane and take a flight over the loop and afterward go to a movie. After flying around for about fifteen minutes I began looking for an advertisement of a good picture. Suddenly my eyes focused on an immense electric sign on the top of a building. On closer observation 1 found that Miss Mary Pabst, a noted medium, would give a seance at nine o’clock that evening. I landed and it being only eight o’clock I determined to pay a visit to my old class-mate, Mary, before going to the show. She received me and gave me a hearty welcome. We talked over old times and the of M. H. S. days. 1 asked her if she kept in touch with any of the class of ’21. “A few of them,” she said. She told me how Marvin Edison had died three years ago and was now acting as assistant to St. Peter. Harvey Robinson, who had died in 1925, was holding the position in heaven, formerly held by Lucifer. She also told me about the trouble she was having with her private secretary, William Pinkney, who, it seemed, had lost all of the accuracy and speed that he had acquired while studying under Miss McGlasson. She thought she would have to give him notice to resign. It being nearly nine o’clock, Mary had to go to work so I started in search of further amusement. I went into the theatre and saw a good comic picture in which Lawrence Fitzgerald starred, under the name of Harold Lloyd, who had resigned the year before. After the picture there was a good comic vaude-ville under the direction of Frances Jacobi, with Cora Talle as leading lady. On my way home from the show, I felt a craving for something that 1 couldn’t satisfy here, and knowing that I wouldn’t be content until it was satisfied, I determined to start for Havana the next morning. After a few hours flying I was forced to land in New York on account of engine trouble. As I was examining my machine, who should walk up and offer his apistance but Kenneth Costley. Kenneth was all “fussed up over an invitation which he had received that morning from Evelyn Blum inviting him to a great ball to be held in Stockholm in honor of her marriage to Joseph Johnson, the I rince of Norway. I told him that he could ride with me. In the meantime while my plane was being fixed, we took a car down to Coney Island. After taking in several of the entertainments offered there, I saw a sweet, young woman standing in the doorway of a tent. On this tent we noticed the sign, e read Futures from Finger Prints.” As the class of '21 had all exchanged calling THE MIRROR cards before leaving school and upon these cards had left their finger prints I decided to find out the future of some of the old graduates. To my astonishment, when I went into the tent, I found that this sweet, young woman was none other than Sylvia Thorson, the same lovely Sylvia who had always been so inattentive in school. Upon close examination of several of the finger prints she said “When a period of five years has elapsed, Lester Colby will be chosen coach of the Girl’s Basketball team at the University of Pekin and will undoubtedly be well liked by the little Chinese Maidens. However, at the end of an unsuccessful season he will be asked to resign by the President of the University, Hazel Berg. About this time there will be another Bolsheviki uprising in Russia. Vera Amunson will gain great fame as a red agitator and she will succeed in removing Mabel Thompson from the throne and having Clarence Call elected Dictator. I can also see a great Women Suffrage movement started about the year 1929 in British South Africa. Owing to the untiring zeal of Mildred Eilenberger and Emma Cashmere, the women of that dark, uncivilized country will gain equal rights with the men.” After spending several hours with Sylvia, our machine was ready and we started for Havana and eventually Christiania. When we landed in Havana we saw an immense crowd assembled to greet Greay Hurtley and Charlie Whittworth whohiid just returned from a trip to Mars. Incidently Greay and Charlie were running a hair dressing apartment as a side line. After visiting with them for a little while we started for Christiania so as to be in time for the ball. After landing Doc at the Palace, I flew around the city for a while, when I noticed a large sign on a barn V. I. Ruffler’s Peanut Farm.” I landed and found Viola and Rose Frazer salting peanuts to be shipped to Peanuts Ede, Dictator of Mexico. After traveling around Europe and Asia for a few months I started across to America and Mondovi. On the way I stopped in Hawaii and there saw Grace Claflin teaching the Hawaiians to step to the tune of a Camel Walk, and Margaret Ilognlein giving swimming lessons to natives. When 1 got back to Mondovi, I found a big brick High School with every modern form of equipment. Bricks was coaching the athletic teams and Lloyd Smith was English Instructor. Next, I went down to the Herald office, but their helpers were all strangers to me with the exception of Joyce Ruseling, who had charge of “Advice to the Lovelorn” and Mary Wiggen who answered inquiries on “Beauty” and “How to Keep Well.” As I came out of the building I noticed a large sign out in front, which read “Heck Voll, We buy everything. If you have anything to buy or sell we solicit your trade.” Thus in my travels around the world, I learned something about all my class mates. THE MIRROR We, the Seniors of Mondovi High School being in unsound mind and defective memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, revoking all other testaments by us heretofore made, and all those which will be made. To the faculty as a whole we leave our sincere thanks for their efforts in trying to broaden our minds. To Mr. Dodge, we give all the ability of art set forth in the Mirror so that he may be able to draw figures for his physics classes. To Mr. Thompson, we leave almost all of the basket ball team and the poor remnants of a football team, hoping that he will have both teams in shape for state championship next year. To Miss Wilkinson, we leave Harvey’s collection of poetry hoping that she will have it published. Also our sincere thanks for her work in helping to make our Mirror a success. To Miss Durch, we leave all our English text books including Hamlet, Macbeth, Burke’s Speech, Wooly’s Handbook and English Literature, hoping that she will burn them up and save the Juniors the agony of reading them. To Miss Meisekothen, we leave all the knowledge which we gained in solid geomet-y class, because it was not enough to bother. To Miss Jones, we leave fond memories of our Junior Class Play, and our sincere thanks for the many things she has done for us. To Miss McGlasson, we bequeath the Senior shorthand note books, and a pair of nonskid shoes that she may have no more accidents in her department To Mr. Grueneisen, we leave our ability to bluff that he may either use it himself or give it to the next senior class. To Mr. Oldridge, we leave all popular music especially “Chili Bean” and “They’re Wearing Them Higher in Hawaii,” which the orchestra was always willing to play. To the Juniors, we give our physics note books, U. S. History map books and English themes, so that they may profit by our diligent study. Also the ability to manage a high school stand at the fair, so they will not need to worry about future financial troubles. To the Sophomores, we leave our dignity as Seniors, permission to go to all the movies at the school and the ability to put on a class play that will please the public as ours did. To the Freshmen, we bequeath our examples of disobedience and our ability to argue with the faculty. We also leave them any warm places which we may have in the hearts of the faculty and suggest that they use them well.

C. 1313, just 13,213 years after Queen Aristobulus (who had been ironing King Chedorlaomer’s pink burlap pajamas, dropped the hot electric iron on her pet hyena, Gibbechai, severely scalding its left eyebrow, causing it, because of this grievous injury, to succumb to the ravages of that terrible disease, water on the brain.

THE MIRROR CLASS POEM At last the time for us has come, We the class of ’twenty-one Must journey forth on the sea of life, To reach our goal in this great strife. School life to us was like a brook Whose memories would fill a book, An unknown sea, we now must greet Where youth’s clear brook and river meet. We’ll carry with us on the tide High standards as our noble guide, And recollections we hold dear, In lonely hours will give us cheer. To our Alma Mater we’ll be true, Her principles our hearts imbue, We’ll toil for her with ceaseless vim So that her light will ne’er grow dim. —Harvey Robinson.

Now our villain C. B. Buttonbuster, although an old friend of the professor’s came along to enter college, posing as his “little son Howard” so he can be surrounded by the pretty coeds. And ah, but our villain has a very shady past for he deserted a young girl, a week before the wedding, to run away with a bleached blond-typewriter. Then this giddy old butterfly—what do you think he does?—falls in love with Betty Gardner, a pretty vivacious young maiden of nineteen and also the ward of Professor Pepp. Betty refuses to marry Buttonbuster because of her love for Howard Greene, and secondly because of her hatred for the name Buttonbuster. Now of course, poor little Betty does not know that Howard is the son of Buttonbuster. The plot thickens when that old villian of a Buttonbuster finds a letter, belonging to Olga Stoffski, telling her how to make the professor become her slave by pointing her finger at him and uttering the word “Bumpski.” Buttonbuster is in deep meditation for a minute, then he curls up his lip in a naughty little sneer, and vows he will now make the professor sacrifice Betty to save his own life. Ah, and that awful man does it, too, and poor little Betty is told she will have to marry Buttonbuster. Betty has a temper and will of her own, she stamps her foot and declares she “will not do it” for she would rather be an old maid for life than to marry Buttonbuster. But her nervous old uncle, namely Pepp, is so frightened of his life that he will not relent, and tells her she will have to do it. Then at this critical moment Howard, our hero steps in and reveals the dark secret, of his father’s disguise and is helped by Aunt Minerva who declares, flourishing her revolver the while, that she has always said that when she met the man Buttonbuster, for she was the sweet little girl, whom he had deserted a week before the wedding—there would be either a wedding or a funeral. Of course Buttonbuster prefers a wedding and so does Minerva, so the play ends with the declaration of a double wedding the following day. So you see dear readers everything came out all right for little Betty and Howard Greene.

The evening was very dark, and a storm was threatening, but, as I glanced up into the sky, I decided that the storm would not break for at least two hours. I went into the garage, looked over my car, jumped in, and started ofF. The night was perfect for motoring. There was a cool breeze which was very soothing, indeed, after the depressing heat of the day. I opened the windshield, which allowed the wind to play havoc with my hair. I didn’t know why, and couldn’t explain to this day my reason for taking the road which I did; but I seemed to crave for adventure and something told me, that if I would take the old Burnswill Road at Four Corners, my craving for adventure would be appeased: So when I arrived at Four Corners, I took the Burnswill Road without a moment's hesitation. This road which I took is travelled very little, and especially at night, as there is a weird story connected with it. The environment alone is enough to make anyone think that they can see Mr. Ghost and Company at every turn. It is a narrow, winding road, bordered on both sides by large cottonwood trees, with low overhanging bows. Now on this dark evening these trees looked like great white ghosts, just waiting for some person, like myself, who was seeking adventure and excitement, to come to them and get all they craved and even more. The breeze w'as playing through the leaves, which made them sound as if they were conversing in modified tones, concerning the outcome of my adventurous ride. I had gone but a short distance, when I heard an angry peal of thunder. There was no room for me to turn around, so I had to go on. A little further down the road I spied a drive-way which looked to be wide enough to furnish THE MIRROR ample room in which to turn. Just as I turned in at the drive-way the storm broke, and the only thing left for me to do was to drive up to the house, and ask for shelter, until the storm had subsided. It was rather late, and the house was all dark, but of course I thought nothing of this, as it is the custom of country-folk to retire at an early hour. I drove my car into an empty shed and ran to the house as quickly as I could for the rain was coming down in torrents. I knocked on the door several times, but there was no answer. I gently turned the knob and it yielded to my touch. I looked in, and much to my surprise found that the house was vacant. It was at this very moment, that it dawned upon me that I was in the Haunted House of Burnswill Road. I, at once, recalled the story that was connected with it, and I really began to wish, that I had gone on, even if the rain was coming down in torrents. The story connected with this house of course cannot be true, but when one is all alone in a large house it is easy to imagine all sorts of things. The owner of this house had been murdered by his brother, and it was said that his ghost appeared every night to haunt its murderer and thus get revenge. It was only a month ago that the ghost had had his revenge so everyone thought, for the murderer had been found dead one morning, with a great gash in his throat. No one had dared to go near since. As this story was passing through my mind, I was startled by a low and mournful wail, as if someone were lamenting for a lost friend. My fright was inexpressible. I wanted to run, do anything, but I could not. This mournful wailing was kept up for about three minutes, then ceased for a short time, but continued again at intervals. During this time, I tried to grope my way in the darkness. I stumbled and fell over a chair which struck the floor and caused appalling disturbance. The wailing ceased and the house was in utter stillness, for what seemed to me an interminable length of time. I was too dazed and frightened to get to my feet. The wailing was resumed, but seemed to be coming nearer all the time, and then I heard a soft, cautious step, not exactly a step either but more of a patter, as if some one who in passing tapped upon the wall. I tried to rise but could not, as I had sprained my ankle when 1 had fallen, and the pain was intense. The wailing ceased but the patter which so puzzled and terrified me, was more distinct. It stopped and a low drawn out wail immediately broke the stillness. I again heard the patter, and it seemed as if it were only in the next room. There dimly outlined in the doorway, stood a great white figure, about the size of a man, although perhaps not quite as tall. It hesitated, as if in doubt whether to enter or not, then I heard that long drawn out wail, which made me shake with fright. I could not make out any definite shape to the figure, but the room was too dark to make it possible to discern any distinct form. Just then the picture of the story I have previously related to you flashed through my mind, and I was certain that figure did resemble, that of a man completely enshrowded in white. Still I was not sure, and I thought perhaps my imagination was taking possession of my thoughts. I strained my eyes to determine what the white mass represented but failed in the attempt. My ankle was paining me terribly, and I was growing very faint. Then the wail cased and the figure, cautiously and hesitatingly approached. Nearer and nearer it came. I tried to call out, to stop it, but only a faint sound came from my throat, and still it came nearer in the same cautious and hesitating manner. I was paralysed with fright. I again took courage and tried by best to rise, only to fall back, on account of the extreme pain in my ankle. Still the form came nearer, another instant and it would be upon me. Then------------ and that was all. THE MIRROR When I awakened, I felt a cold touch upon my cheek. I put my hand out to push it away, and it came in contact with soft, silky fur. I quickly withdrew my hand. At last I came to my senses, and was fully awake. Then I remembered what had previously taken place. I again became frightened and tried to drag myself away, but the pain in my ankle was much worse, and I couldn’t move. The figure came nearer. I called out, but it paid no heed. My hands were free so I decided to try and catch the object. I succeeded, and much to my surprise and great relief, the head of a dog was thrust into my face. I never saw anything that was more pleased than this great dog was at the touch of my hand. I petted the creature and talked to it for a while; then I must have fallen into another swoon. I was awakened by a low whine, and saw before me, one of the most beautiful dogs I could ever imagine. It was a large, white Russian Greyhound, then I remembered of having read in the paper the day before that a large reward was offered for the return of a white Russian Greyhound, to Doctor Louis of Rockford. The dog was valued at a large sum. It had been stolen, and the thieves were evidently keeping it shut up in this deserted house thinking no one would dare to enter, until a large reward was offered for its return. I decided that I would get the reward, when I heard voices outside. I was greatly alarmed fearing it was the thieves coming after the dog, but instead it was a number of my friends who walked in. They had become distracted in their search and as a last resort chose this this road. The fact that I had lost my veil a short distance from the house served as a clue to my whereabouts. They took me home and after I had sufficient rest I delivered the valuable dog and claimed the coveted reward. Lenore Godard, ’22. THE STOLEN DOCUMENT During the years of 1873 and 1874, when the west was still a “wild and wooly” country, full of daring ranchers and cowboys, and was continually being disturbed lay cattle rustlers, stage robbers, and revengeful Indians, it was my work to drive a stage between Kemberly, a small town in western Nebraska, and Keely, another small town of eastern Colorado. The stage business at that time was at its height. The unsettled conditions of the country following the Civil War had not yet been fully relieved, and consequently, the western trails were frequented by parties of men going west to make their fortune. The stage business had profited during this western movement as railroads were then unknown beyond Topeka, Kansas. It was my good luck on May 18, 1884, on my way from Kimberly to Keely, to meet a young gentlemen, Hal Chase by name, who was in comfortable circumstances, and who possessed a good temperament. He rode with me on the driver’s seat, and together we spent an enjoyable time relating thrilling adventures which we had experienced. The man, at last, told me confidentially that he was employed by a St. Louis detective agency to recover a lost wallet containing, among other things, the deed to the richest gold mine then known in Colorado. We were driving around a decided curve, when suddenly we were commanded to throw up our hands—an order quickly heeded in the early West. Six men dismounted from their horses and searched us for weapons. They found four pistols and a rifle. We were ordered off the stage and then roughly handled. Chase was knocked unconscious and I fled to the woods for protection. THE MIRROR Returning to this same spot a half hour later, I found that these men had unharnessed the horses and had taken them, as well as the gold and other valuables which they had found. The stage had been rolled down a steep incline. I aroused Chase to consciousness within a few minutes and we began to climb one of the foothills of the Rockies, which arose before us. We reached the top shortly before sunset and sat down to rest. The scenery below was beautiful—to say the least—a wide, sluggish river sparkled in the sunlight and the valley was green with vegetation. We sat admiring this beautiful scenery for some time, when my eye caught sight of a small, dark moving mass near a large tree on the opposite side of the valley, probably a mile away. With the aid of Chase’s field glasses we found it to be six men who were hiding an amount of booty which they had undoubtedly stolen during the day. We watched their movements closely and soon we saw them ride off, leaving one man—in all probability—as guard, who prepared a bed beneath the tree. Chase and I waited until darkness settled about us, before we began our search for the booty. The long walk, interrupted by the swim across the river, made us too tired to work quickly, but it was apparent to both of us that we must complete our work that night or lose the chance of capturing the booty. Chase sent me to watch the guard and if possible, to take one of his weapons, while he went to examine the hiding place, about fifty yards from the tree. The moon had just risen, lighting everything in the valley so objects were almost as discernable as in the day-time. I was not afraid, however, for I had spent many a night in the woods. With little difficulty I slipped a pistol from the guard’s pocket, returned to Chase, and gave it to him. He sent me back to obtain some food, and again I cautiously approached the robber. A twig snapped behind me and the robber jumped to his feet. “Chase,” I cried out through the frosty air, but before I had the word out of my mouth a rifle crack rang out, and the limp form of the guard fell to the ground, hopelessly wounded. I returned to Chase and found that he had obtained from the chest under a large oak, several wallets and six sacks of gold. We started off immediately, and travelled all night. Chase carried the wallets, and I, the gold. The next morning we climbed trees and deposited the valuables, then slept during the day. We continued this program for three more days and nights until we reached Milton, Kansas, where we took the stage for Topeka, and thence, we travelled north by railroad to St. I ouis. Without delay Chase took me to the office of his detective agency, where we left our material burdens and explained our experiences to his superior officers. We were given a good supper and a night of rest. The next morning, we were called to the agency’s office where we learned exactly what we had recovered. It included gold worth thirty thousand dollars which belonged to the Wells-Fargo Express Company, several worthless bonds and the stolen document. We were highly commended for our work, and were well paid for our services. Chase was given eight thousand dollars, which he divided with me. No persuasion on my part could induce him to believe that I should not be given so large a sum. “Well,” asked Chase, “where would we be if we had not been held up and robbed?” I replied, gripping the four thousand dollars in my hand, “without the eight thousand dollars anyway”—which doubtless would have been the case. —Arnold Scott, ’22. THE MIRROR THE PRIZE “And” concluded Mr. De Rene, the great artist, “this contest is for all the art pupils. The painting may be any subject. No boy must show his picture or tell what he is painting. I shall trust you all to keep the rules which I have read.” The contest was for the pupils of a French school of art. The prizes were to be five hundred dollars for the best painting and one hundred dollars each for the two next best. The money for the prizes had been given by a millionaire who was greatly interested in art. That night almost every pup il of the school lay awake long after the streets had become quiet and peaceful. Two boys were especially excited. One was a small pale lad of fifteen named Jean. His large brow n eyes burned feverishly in his pale face. Drops of perspiration stood out on his forehead and dampened the rich black hair that tumbled in riotous curls about his head. His clothes were thread-bare and his shoes were worn and shabby. He was the eldest of six children. His mother was a poor widow who had lost all her money at her husband's death. The boy would be obliged to stop the study of art in a short while, as his mother could not afford to pay his expenses. His passionate desire was to become an artist. Now, if he could only win the prize it would keep him in the school until he had finished his course. The other boy was tall and ungainly, with light hair, and blue eyes which changed to green when he became angry. He wTas the son of rich parents, who had lavished money upon him up to the time of his last allowance. At that time his father had discovered that he had spent it all that same evening “treating the fellows,” as he called it. His father did not approve of his going with the rough boys of the street, so he had cut his allowance into three. This greatly annoyed Charles, as he was called, and caused him to inwardly curse his father. Later he had contracted several debts which his father had refused to pay. Charles therefore decided to take the prize by fair means or foul. The next day the boys went to work eagerly. After much serious thought Jean chose for his subject a child holding a lily. When the picture was finished and it seemed perfect to Jean, he wrapped it carefully in tissue paper and laid it safely away in his desk. Meanwhile Charles had been laboring on his picture which was the portrait of a young girl. He could not get the picture to look well and became greatly annoyed. The more he tried, the more annoyed he became, and the worse the picture looked. Finally in a frenzy of disgust he crumbled it up and threw' it across the floor. Glancing at Jean at that moment he saw him look proudly at his picture before wrapping it. Suddenly an idea popped into his head. Why couldn’t he take the picture and frighten Jean into not telling? That evening Jean lingered in the studio to arrange his paints. Nothing could please Charles better. He walked up to Jean and shook him roughly by the shoulder saying, “Hey, there, let me see that picture o’ yourn.” Jean shook his head and said, “No, Charles, I will not. That would not be fair.” “Ah! g’wan, baby,” said Charles, and reaching into the desk he drew out the picture and examined it. “See here! kid,” he said to Jean turning suddenly toward his helpless victim, “I’m going to keep this picture and hand it in. Now, if you make any any fuss you know what’s coming to you,” and he squeezed Jean’s thin arm significantly so that Jean cried out with the pain. THE MIRROR Jean’s tears and entreaties were of no avail, for Charles left the room with a parting threat. Jean sat with his head dropped despairingly on his arms for a long while after Charles had left the room. He cried as if his heart would break. This meant the giving up of all his bright dreams for the future. The next day Jean went to Mr. De Rene and told him that he would not try for the prize. During the following week, his face took on a sad, drawn look and he seemed to move as one in a dream. The eventful night came at last. After the opening speech Mr. De Rene addressed the boys and told them how pleased he had been with their work. He announced the names of those who took second and third prizes and then continued: “The picture taking first prize is of a small child holding a single perfect lily. It is one which shows unusual ability on the part of the pupil.’ Jean sitting disconsolately in the corner turned his head toward the wall to hide the tears in his eyes. Mr. De Rene turned his piercing eyes on Charles, who, meeting his gaze, flushed and fidgeted nervously. His face took on a proud and defiant look, but he did not seem happy over his success, and avoided meeting Mr. De Rene’s keen gaze a second time. Mr. De Rene looked at Charles a long minute; then with a glance toward the unhappy Jean he said sorrowfully. “It grieves me more than I can say, to know that one of my pupils has acted dishonorably in regard to the paintings. While passing through the hall one evening I overheard a conversation between the winner and a boy twice his size and strength. The bully I have no other name for a boy who could do such a thing Possessed himself of the weaker boys’ painting, and if the act were disclosed, threatened to seriously injure the lad. I will not mention this boy’s name but—” and here his eyes burned angrily—“such an act deserves the worst punishment possible. I am greatly pleased to bestow the prize on Jean Gerard who honestly and fairly won it.” When Jean walked down the aisle to receive the prize in his thread bare clothes and with tears of gratitude in his large eyes, the audience cheered again and again. Needless to say, Charles left the school without delay, and Jean stayed on. He later became a great artist, thanks to the five hundred dollar prize. —Margaret I. Hanley, ’23. THE MIRROR AGRICULTURE IN THE MONDOVI HIGH SCHOOL It is interesting to note the rapid strides that the study of Agriculture has made in the secondary schools of the State of Wisconsin during the last few years. A decided change has taken place in the method of teaching this subject. It used to be taught almost entirely in the school-room from text books alone, using but little practical and laboratory work in connection. Now a great deal of stress is put on the practical side of the subject. Agricultural Clubs such as Calf, Pig, and Sheep Clubs have interested the boys in caring for animals of their own. Mondovi High School boys have not been slow in picking up this work and have made an enviable record with their Calf, Pig, and Baby Beef Clubs and in Stock Judging Contests. In the fall of 1919 several of the young people from the Agricultural Clubs from Mondovi exhibited a number of animals at the Junior Live Stock Show at Madison. They returned with twelve ribbons, among them several firsts and seconds. This was their beginning year. This summer (1920) several new Clubs and new club members were added to the lists. The total club members numbered over eighty. How the boys succeeded with their undertaking can be seen from the following results: THE MIRROR MILWAUKEE STATE FAIR The Mondovi Pure Bred Jersey Calf Club with fifteen representative calves took first place against such counties as Winnebago, Jefferson and a score of others. Other placings were: Pure Bred Jersey Bull Calf Class 1st Prize and Grand Champion. Pure Bred Jersey Heifer Class (Junior)—1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th. Pure Bred Jersey Heifer Class (Senior)—1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 8th. Pure Bred Holstein Heifer Class—1st, 3rd. Pure Bred Holstein Bull Class—2nd. The boys felt greatly encouraged and in the time that elapsed between State Fair and Junior Live Stock Show at Madison (From September 1 to October 22) they redoubled their efforts in finishing their animals for the big State Round-up at Madison. A happy lot of boys, about twenty in number, left Mondovi, Sunday Morning, October 17, for the Madison Junior Show to be on hand early Monday morning, the opening day of the show, to care for their animals. Summing up things, they returned a happier lot than they had started out, for they “made a cleaning” as one might say, taking a total of twenty-nine ribbons, including seven first prizes, six seconds, three thirds, one Grand Champion and coveted State Prize for the Calf Club Exhibit. The following gives the placings: THE MIRROR Pure Bred Jersey Bui] Class— 1st Stanley Melrose 2nd Ralph Seyforth Pure Bred Jersey Heifer, (Junior Class)— 1st Julius Haugland 2nd Ralph Seyforth 4th James Anderson 5th Aubrey Helwig 6th Margaret Dillon 7th Percy Gullickson Pure Bred Jersey Heifer, (Senior Class)— 1st Margaret Dillon 2nd Aubrey Helwig 3rd Charles Whitworth 5th Wesley Smith Grand Champion Bull 1st Stanley Melrose Pure Bred Holstein Bull Calf— 2nd Wendall Claflin Pure Bred Holstein Heifer Calf— 2nd Walter Koepp 4th Dade Claflin Grade Guernsey Class 4th Harry Bars tow 6th Raymond Giese Pure Bred Percheron Colts— 1st Alden Whelan Pure Bred Clydesdale Colts— 1st Aubrey Helwig Pure Bred Chester White Pig— 1st Gilmar Amundson Pure Bred Duroc Jersey 4th Elmer Rast 6th Winthrop Nogle Pure Bred Poland China— 4th Oscar Wergeland The above shows that the boys during the past year, l ave made the most of their opportunities. What Mondovi and community considers of more importance is that each one of these boys is keeping his animal fo - a foundation for future herds. It means better Live Stock for a community, and better boys and girls. Stock Judging Team But Mondovi High shared another great honor during the past year. Three boys, Roland Claflin, Ralph Seyforth and Charles Whitworth won the State Championship in a Stock Judging Contest at Madison last spring. They won a large loving cup, presented by the Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders Association and a right to represent the State of Wisconsin at the International Live Stock Show in Chicago from, November 27 to December 4. They are working hard and plan to make a good showing against representative teams from other states in the Union. All in all it has been a banner year and preparations are well under way for a repetition of the work the following year. E. C. Thompson, Agriculture Director and Instructor.

Cn O tober thirteenth we played Menomonie in the initial contest of the year. Tt is game revealed to the players just what kind of a team Mondovi had. They showed fight wl ich was remarkable for the f rst game. Menomonie anticipating an easy victory brought over both her first and second teams; but her first team had very little show from the start. MONDOVI 0; CHIPPEWA 64 The following Saturday the team journeyed to Chippewa, and were defeated 64 to 0. This game was played under many difficulties. Every team, no matter how good during sometime in its history, takes a slump and fails to live up to expectations. Mondovi chose Chippewa as its victim and Chippewa was the scene of their downfall. Mondovi took the zero end of this game. ’Nuf Sed. Coach Thompson was not able to be with us, and that took lots of pep out of the team. MONDOVI 10; STANLEY 0 November second witnessed another victory for Mondovi High. This was quite an easy one for us. Mondovi defeated their opponents in a fast and well played game. A touchdown, a goal kick, and a drop kick gave us our points. MONDOVI 3; EAU CLAIRE 52 Inasmuch as the line up was changed considerably and a number of the players were shifted to different positions, the defeat is not as bad as it might have been. Ade put over a drop kick from the 48 yard line. MONDOVI’S SECOND GAME WITH STANLEY Disputed.) Stanley put over two touchdowns the first quarter. The Mondovi line tightened up and the backfield, a sudden inspiration coming over them, put oyer two touchdowns. Capt. Olson kicked two goals and put over a drop kick. Our line held five downs on the one year line. The game ended in a dispute, the Referee giving the game to Stanley—the score being 4 to 0. MONDOVI’S THIRD GAME WITH STANLEY This game marked the close of a season of which M. H. S. should be proud —despite the fact that we were the losers four times. Mondovi rushed down the field for two touch downs the first thing and we had one goal kick. Stanley put over two touchdowns, then Capt. Olson put over a pretty drop kick from the 35 yard line. The score was 16-13 until Olson got his arm broken. The team fought hard but Stanley put over a forward pass for a touch down. This completed the whole season, we expect more next year, because we have practically the whole team back again.

The Mondovi High School Basket-ball prospects for the year 1920-1921 started with things at about the worst that they have been. Graduation took away six of our first team caliber men, including the two fleet forwards, Brown and Claflin. Three more of the men, Harrison, O’Mere and Hawkinson, who were in line for first team honors this year, moved away. Hawkinson has been playing center for Eau Claire High School the past season. After a fairly successful Football season and with a full line of green material, outside of Funk, the only veteran back from last year, we opened the Basket-ball season. The squad composed of Johnson, Colby, Smith, Aase, Scott, Call and Greay Hurtley, captured the first game from Eleva, on Nov. 25, to the tune of 20 to 9, after one week of practise. Fairly good basket-ball was in evidence but the team showed clearly the lack of experience. Three more games were won from Augusta, Black River Falls and Osseo respectively, before Christmas vacation. After a long rest extending over the Holidays, the team came back with lots of pep, but lost their first game to the fast Menomonie team at Menomonie. They played stellar Basket-ball during the first half and held the score down 8 to 11. But, when the second started, Menomonie used a dazzling, driving offense, which soon put them far in the lead. During the next four or five weeks, the team seemed to stand still so far as any marked emprovement could be seen. Before the next game we gained a worthy forward in Olson, our plucky little quarter-back on the football team. He played an aggressive, fast game. However, Jan. 21 found our team playir.g a good game of Basket-ball against Durand, and had throughout the entire time, until the game ended in a row, with the score 11 to 8 in Mondovi’s favor. The game was forfeited by Durand 2 to 0. From then on the team seemed to find its stride and played some stellar basket-ball against Augusta, Neillsvile and Alma Center. The Neillsville game was a great game. Our team won, after the visitors had us beaten 10 to 1 in the first ten minutes of play. Mondovi was lined up with Alma Center in an elimination game and easily defeated them 24 to 7 at Augusta. Mondovi and Gilmanton were the two teams out of the Southern section that were picked to compete at Eau Claire. The team made a wonderful showing at Eau Claire as the results of the games show, winning from our old rivals Eau Claire and Rice Lake in some fast games. Neillsville won at the Tournament. All in all the season has been very satisfactory considering the material and the handicap in practicing often enough, to give a green group of players lots of experience. However, we feel that the prospects are good for next year, for all but Colby, at Center, will be back and with what they have gained this year, they will make a team that will have to be reckoned among the strongest in this section. THE MIRROR REVIEW OF THE GIRLS’ BASKET BALL TEAM RECORD 1920-1921 Mondovi 5..................City Team 0 Mondovi 11.................Augusta 5 Mondovi 9..................Osseo 5 Mondovi 5..................Alumni 3 Mondovi 3..................Fall Creek 1 Mondovi 8..................Eleva 1 Mondovi 3..................Fall Creek 5 Mondovi 7...................New Richmond 4 The girls’ basket ball team proved a greater success this year than any preceding year. Out of the eight game played the girls lost only one. The favorable record was due to the faithful and perservering practice of each member of the team. Mildred Ellenberger and Grace Claflin were always alert and kept a watchful eye on their guards and displayed excellent skill in making baskets. Rose Fraser and Edith Brown were efficient in breaking up the opponent’s team work. Our center, Vera Amunson, was our main support in all of our plays. Her untiring efforts did a great deal to keep up the spirit of the team. Four of our regular players, Mildred Ellenberger, Vera Amunson, Grace Claflin and Rose Fraser are Seniors. They will be greatly missed on the team the coming year. However, there is some good material left and we hope that with earnest practice there will be a good team next year. THE MIRROR MONDOVI HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA One organization, which there has been some difficulty in establishing is in an orchestra. But one has been started under the able direction of Erie L. Oldridge, and we hope it has come to stay. About thirteen pieces compose the orchestra. String instruments such as violins, cellos, and basses, are in great demand. In previous years little has been heard of the school orchestra. This season, tho just starting, it has been one of the main features of several events. It is our hope that in the future the orchestra will be one of the leading organizations of the school. THE MIRROR AFFIRMATIVE Arnold Scott Lloyd Smith Mary Pabst C. L. Dodge, Coach Question: Resolved, that the Esch-Cummins Law provides the best solution for the present railway problems. Decision: Affirmative 2; Menomonie . .. ,1. Negative 1; Chippewa Falls. . . . .. .0. Affirmative 0; Sparta 3. Negative 0; Madison .3. THE MIRROR DEBATE Considerable difficulty was experienced this year in selecting the members of the debating teams. Mary Pabst and I loyd Smith were the only students in school who had had any debating experience. In a girls’ “try-out” in November, Vera Amunson was selected as the other girl to take part. As there were no boys who expressed a desire to enter the debate, it became necessary to draft them into the service. So Arnold Scott, Kenneth Costley, and Greay Hurtley soon found that they were members of the team even though they may have no great desire to enter. Immediately after the Christmas vacation both teams went to work with a will. The first two weeks were spent in getting a general understanding of the question. After this knowledge was gained each debater formulated, planned, and wrote his debate. Both teams felt that a few points well proved were much better than a great many unproved statements. Little need be said of the willingness and spirit with which all members worked. In defeating both Chippewa Falls and Menomonie they proved that even though inexperienced, nevertheless, they were the best debaters in the district. Two weeks later our affirmative and negative teams were defeated by Sparta and Madison in the Triangular Debate. As a school we are proud of our debaters. THE MIRROR GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB An organization that is rapidly gaining popularity among the girls in the Girls’ Glee Club. The club was organized at the beginning of the school year of 1920. The purpose of the club is to cultivate familiarity with standard songs, and to form the foundation for the future Girls’ Glee Club. This club has made marked progress under the excellent supervision of Mr. Oldridge. Those who have talent are given the chance of developing it in this club. The Glee Club has entertained us during assembly periods and has appeared on different programs given by the High School. We hope that this organization will continue to grow and develop in the coming years. THE MIRROR DECLAMATORY AND ORATORY Declamatory has been a big feature in Mondovi High School for the past six or seven years. Mary Farrington and Ruth Houser won our first cup, winning for three consecutive years. Then Edna Lundberg, Myra Pabst and Anna Aase represented us. They worked hard but were unable to get possession of another cup. Last year Mary Pabst, brought things to a head. First she won in the local contest, Edith Leutscher, receiving second place. Then Mary received first place in the league contest, getting possession of another cup. From here she went to the district contest held at Eau Clair, where she received first place. She was sent as a representative of the district to Madison where she ranked fourth in the state. This year there are several girls competing in the local contest. There is good material at hand and we expect to keep the cup for our High School. Mondovi has been well represented in Oratorical contests during the past year also. Last year Samuel Blum and Lloyd Smith represented us at the League Contest, receiving first and second places, thereby gaining the oratorical cup, now in our possession. They then represented us in the District Contest held at Eau Claire. We only have three boys out this year for Oratory. But we are sure they will do their best to save the cup. PHILAKIAN This literary society was organized in January 1921 to take the place of the Nautilus. Mary Pabst was elected President, Arnold Scott, secretary and Clarence Call, treasurer. At the time of organization about eighty students expressed their desire to become members of this society, but it is hoped that next year every student will be a member of the Philakian. This is open to all students in High School. The aim of this society is to give the student practice and training in literary work (including debating, declamations, readings), also to develop their musical talents. This society presents a phase of school life both enjoyable and beneficial. COMMUNITY SINGING A new organization which was started this last Fall and one that has gained great popularity is Community Singing. These “Community Sings” are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month in the High School Assembly Hall under the direction of Mr. Earl Oldridge. Then opportunity is given to all who love to sing, to come out and spend a pleasant hour. That these meetings have been worth while is shown by the large attendance each time. Other features which have added greatly to its popularity are the special numbers rendered at times, such as singing by the male quartet, special readings, duets, solos, and the orchestra numbers.
