Children are wild and can not he controlled. Unless a great change occurs the world is. on the road to certain destruction.” How often we hear remarks similar to the preceding paragraph. They were made in early Egyptian history, and they have been repeated ever since. In spite of them this world of ouis has continued to improve. Are we to believe that the children of this generation are not the equal in every way of the children of the preceding generation? Let ui not forget the time when we were children. We have no right to expect boys and girls to do and act as mature men and women. We do not want them to do so. Young people of today are fully the equal of the young people of any age. Treat them squarely and they will surely reciprocate. We must lead them, help them, push them, and we may be very sure that when they have reached their maturity they will capably fill the places of those, who have preceded them. Our world is daily becoming a better place to live in. and these young people are helping to make it so. Let us have confidence in them. C. L. Dodge. THE MIRROR CLASS HISTORY Just an even dozen years ago some of us pig-tailed girls and freckled-nosed boys, led by our mamas, came to school for the first time. As the years came and vanished, we did the usual childish pranks. At the beginning of each year we settled down to our work under the supervision of a new teacher, and we always ended the year with some new aim aceomplished. We worked hard, but now as we look back upon these years, we realize that each difficulty has proved a stepping stone. In the grades a few things of interest happened to us. As temptations are not uncommon in the school room, we did not fail to come upon our share of them. Pierce Ruseling, then a little fourth-grader, has not even now forgotten one of these incidents as is shown by the following quotation from a Senior girl’s memory book. “Remember the times we had in the fourth grade, in the back seats.” Sad disappointments also often crossed our paths. One morning when we were in the fifth grade, we intended to take an early hike and have breakfast in the open air; the Fates, however, intervened with an unwelcome shower, and thus dampened our childish enthusiasm. The pleasures of hikes in the fall gave way to the merriment of parties and programs' in the winter. For our Christmas programs we worked hard, taking much interest in them, and always eagerly awaiting the entrance of Santa Claus, and the passing of the candies and nuts. On these festal days the dignity of the school-room was enhanced by the presence by our mothers. When we reached the seventh grade, we began to feel more like mature students. Perhaps this was due to the fact that we were now housed in the high school building. At our first class meeting, as eighth graders, we selected pins. It was in the eighth grade that we were invited to the Main Room to join in the mass meetings. In this grade also we had our first debate. At last the termination of our graded school career was realized. We left with a happy, yet sad feeling in our hearts, as Mrs. Dillon wished us success for our coming work. In the autumn of nineteen hundred twenty, twenty-nine members of our class enrolled as freshmen in the Mondovi High School. Other bashful freshmen joined us from neighboring districts. They were as follows: Edward Johnson, Orval Lurndal, Sever Quale, Jens Severson, Edna Berg, Emil Ede, Marian Giese, Emily Hacker, Merton Ilarmon, Floyd Helwig, Anna Ness, Robert Xorrish, Pearl Odegard, Royce Quaiberg, Henry Rosenthal, Raymond Steinke, Arleen Stevens, Josie Talle, Clarence Thompson, Fred Switzenberg, and Norma Ilaunschild. After we had registered, we were ordered into room “B” where we were put in Miss Meisekothen’s care. Weren’t we timid though! The seniors scoffed at us, and called us “little ones.” However, we soon entered into high school activities with typical freshman zeal. After our timidity had diminished, we were royally entertained by the sophomores. We appreciated this reception as it brought us into a higher social ring. When our sophomore year was at hand, we were joined by the following classmates: Oral Claflin, Orin Goodremote, Aubrey Helwig, Harry Knudt-son, Myron Lee, Adolph Lerum, Ruth Schaehtler, and Yernie Schachtler. However. we were sorry to miss Ruth Belden, Vernon Colby, Robert Xorrish, Fred Switzenberg, and Arleen Stevens. Being sophomores, we had more confidence than in the preceding year, and entered into school activities with genuine school spirit. According to custom we entertained the freshmen at an exceedingly thrilling initiation. During the year we had a goodly number of boys on the football and basketball teams. In the spring we held our class picnic at the Thompson Valley grove, chaperoned by Miss Wilkinson and Miss Meisekot hen. T II E M IEBOR At the dawn of our junior year we fully realized that we were entering in upon an important year in high school. Here we were joined by James Bjornstad, Melvin Olson, Percy Gullickson, Florence Teeple, Lillian Christoph-cison, Arleen Stevens, Agnes Serum, and Jessie Larson. Again some of our classmates did not return. They were Edna Moyer, Myron Lee, Clarence Thompson, Dick Claflin, Floyd Cosford, Merton Harmon, Orin Goodremote, Arnold Pape, Royce Quarberg, and Lynn Amidon. We were well represented in the debating te--.m, I-', ster Colby and James Moll being two of its foremost members. We were also represented in the declamatory contest bv Evelyn Walker. Cndcr the direction of Miss Siljan, we gave a class play entitled “What Happened to Braggs.” When early spring faded into the mellow days of May, we gathered spring flowers and decorated the Methodist dining hall for the annual Junior-Senior Reception. During the banquet appropriate toasts were given by members of the school board, faculty, and presidents of the Junior and Senior ( lasses. Myrtle Ellenberger gave a beautiful reading, and a solo was rendered by Miss Siljan. When June came, we realized, that our whole year had been a success, and we parted for a well earned vacation. September nineteen hundred twenty-three came, bringing with it the beginning of our senior year with Arthur Auer as a new member. However, the following left us: Aubiey Ilelwig, Harry Knudtson, and Henry Rosenthal. We came back under the supervision of almost the same faculty we had had in the preceding year, prepared to work harder than ever, and to make our last year the foiemost of all past terms. At our first important class meeting, we decided that our class would put out an annual. This was a great undertaking. as we fully realized, but, nevertheless, the motion was carried through. At the next class meeting the particulars regarding our class rings were discussed. and committees chosen to select a suitable one. Two members of our las , Lillian ( hi istopherson and Poster Colby, represented us at the dual debate at Arcadia, winning fiom them with a score of two to one. Edward Johnson. Oival Lurndal. and Floyd Ilelwig went from here to Madison as members of the Stock Judging Team. Our basketball teams, made up of many members of seniors, won a goodly number of games. It is oust raary for one, at the completion of an event or task, to look back in a reminiscent mood. Although we. as seniors, have not as yet reached the age when we live only in the past retrospect, we cannot resist the occasional glance into the past school life. In our reflections we find that, although in many filings we have been lacking, we have had our share of happiness and activity. —Evelyn Walker, •—Agnes Serum.

THE MIRROR A TRIP AROUND THE WORLD We, Ruth and Xorma, having; gained large fortunes in oil investments de cided to take a trip around the world. Leaving Los Angeles, our home t wn. we thought we would go to the movie center, Hollywood. There we gained much knowledge of “the movies.” We saw the production of “Live-wires” in which Gordon Kruger, our old clasrmate, starred as a famous “sheik.” The fifteen years after graduation had not changed him very much. The Yellowstone National Park was our next stop. Here we saw all the wonders of nature that we had so often dreamed about. From the Park we went to Bismarck, X. I). During a stop on the way we bought a new novel from a book stand. “Love in the West” by Josie Thalle was indeed thrilling to read, since the author was our schoolmate. From the sketch of the author’s life we gleaned that after graduation Miss Thalle had gone West to write novels, an ambition which had always been uppermost in her mind. We had just finished the book when we came to Bismarck. Our educational interests led us to the University. Wandering over the campus, we were asked to go to see Miss Berg, the Dean of Women. We met a little, light haired, bright-eyed, capable woman. We instantly recognized Edna, our friend of the Training Class in Mondovi. After spending the day with Edna in a social chat, we were again on our way. At Minneapolis, Minn., we had to seek a dentist. On inquiring for the best one we were directed to Dr. Amunson’s office. Her credentials were: champion maker of false teeth, painless extraction of teeth, very nominal prices. Her offices were large, and many customers were waiting. Great was our joy when we saw that the dentist was none other than Leannah. Because of the rushing business we only had a few hours’ talk after treatment of our troubles. We then eagerly made our way to our old home town, Mondovi, a city now. We stayed at the Gazoola Hotel owned by a large and capable looking woman, Lola Loomis. Upon recognition, we were given comfortable rooms and received the entire news of Mondovi’s progress since our absence. Miss Loomis informed us of a large Agriculture meeting in Stanley, and asked us if we wouldn't like to go. We were wondering what would interest us there when she informed us that Mr. Pierce Ruseling was President of the Association. Next day we motored to Stanley to see Mr. Ruseling. His farm, a mile from town, was large and prosperous. Because of his wife’s interests he had taken up fanning and had become successful as a dairyman. After spending a joyous time at his home and in Mondovi, we again were on our way. The state capitol at Madison was of great interest to us. We were introduced to Governor Colby who was none other than Foster of our High School days. By his arguments and good ideas he had quickly risen to fame. He was expecting after his governorship to be a senator, lie was our host for the day, and entertained us by taking us to the University to see Miss Agnes Serum, a teacher of languages. We all talked over times gone by, and then went to listen to one of the rising orators of the day, namely, Maynard Saxe, who was adept in handling words, and was very convincing. From Madison we made our way to Chicago. Stepping from the train we were accosted by the smiling face of a Social Welfare worker. We knew at once that she was Hazel Adams. Fifteen years had not changed Hazel much; she was as bright an entertainer as in her High School days. We visited the ait gallery, and were attracted by a painting of a great Futurist artist named Evelyn Walker. Here was another of our classmates who had TIIE MIRROR become famous. We hunted up Miss Walker’s studio, and were received with true Futurist cordiality. Leaving Chicago, we resumed our journey to Palm Beach. Idly spending our time in lolling about the beach, we were drawn into the exclusive society from Philadelphia. The belle of the society was Arleen Stevens, the wife of the wealthy Jollinik from Philadelphia. We accep.ed Arleen's invitation to accompany her to Washington, D. C. Since we were from Wisconsin, she took us to meet Miss Lillian Christopherson, the first woman senator from that state. We went to see another classmate who was in the city also. Mr. Edward Johnson, Secretary of Agriculture, was nationally known for his splendid work in the Cabinet. Leaving our famous friends at the Capitol, we went on to New York. Spending the day in seeing the sights of the great Metropolis, we were ready to enjoy a good evening at the Follies. The star of the group was a graceful and charming girl who seemed to be directing her glances toward our box quite often. During the last intermission a messenger brought us a message from the star, who proved to he Miss Ruth Claflin. She had recognized us. and had asked us to wait for her by the door. We were indeed glad to see our Follies friend. Our journey thus far had been a round of pleasant surprises concerning our classmates. Our last day in New York was spent in purchasing an aeroplane with which to continue our trip. Our flight took us first to Mexico City, Mexico. When we landed, the Women’s army under General Haunschild was in review before the President. This sight was indeed splendid to look upon as General Milton Haunschild was all that could he asked for in generalship. After dismissing his army, he took us to his headquarters and made us acquainted with the secretary of a rich South American woman. The serene-looking secretary, Adolph Lerum, cordially invited us to visit the coffee plantation owned by Myrtle Kllenberger. Certainly we were anxious to see our classmate who had become so prosperous. We straightway made a flight to Myrtle’s home in Campinas, Brazil. She was a matter-of-fact and a very business-like woman. She took great interest in political affairs, and was looked upon as a woman of wisdom. Our visit with her was indeed a treat after having been engaged in frivolities. Carefully looking over our plane “Susanna,” we prepared for departure. We crossed the Atlantic, and landed on the southern part of Africa. From there we were going to fly north to Egypt. Fate demanded that we stop in the Kalahari desert in South Africa where there was only a missionary settlement. Our plane repairs were not quickly made, but we were taken in by the kind missionary leader. Anna Ness. Our troubles bothered us no more since we had found a hospitable friend to take us in. Weeks passed before our repairs came, and we spent the time in educating the negroes. Having repaired “Susanna” we left for the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Like all other travellers we were bent on finding something of interest at all times. We met a curious-looking gentleman who seemed to be intent in looking for something small. Whenever he saw bugs flying through the air or crawling on the ground, he joyously dashed after them. To gain an acquaintance we caught a bug for the gentleman who rapturously thanked us for it. He looked at us, and in a surprised manner called our names. We did not recognize him until he introduced himself as Professor Arthur Auer, M. F. D. C , the great entomologist. In our talk with him he told us not to miss going to the Valley of the Kings. We acted upon his suggestion and surely experienced many thrills. We met the chief excavator who to our surprise was none other than Melvin Olson. We got first-hand information concerning the late discoveries, as Melvin was indeed very much interested in his work. We left Egypt, and soon were flying over the Arabian desert. As evening drew on we noticed a small speck on the desert. This to us meant a lodging T II E M T R ft 0 ft place for the night. Upon alighting, we attracted the attention of the Arab servant. We conveyed to him by signs that we wished to see his master. He instantly obeyed, and brought before us a tall, tanned American. We introduced our.'elves, and explained our mission. Hearing our names Ihe American called his wife, and told us that he was Orval Lurndal. We recognized his wife to be Jessie Larson. Our meeting was indeed a happy circumstance. Spending the night with them, we left the next day to continue our journey. Our curiosity led us to visit the Hindu Temple at Benares, India. Our guide took us over the beautiful building and brought us into the presence of the high priest. We recognized our classmate, James Bjornstad, now a sober and devout follower of Brahma. As the priest talks to no visitors, we left our calling cards which the guide was to take to the priest after we had gone. Next we found ourselves in Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Knowing that the Governor was Sever Quale, we went to see him. He was a distinguished and influential personage. We then flitted across the ocean to China. We stopped over night at Hangchow. We bought an American paper that was edited by Feme Saxe. Her editorials were full of understanding and humor. As we were unable to see her, we had to be satisfied in reading her works. We made the transcontinental flight across Asia to Greece without a mishap. In Athens we made our way to the Greek Museum. Here we met Gunda Flekke who was translating some very ancient Greek writings. She left her work to entertain us at her home. We told her of our enjoyable trip so far, and of the classmates we had met and heard about. Leaving Greece, we flew to Italy. At Florence we were invited to stay at Madame Clemenson’s beautiful villa. We recognized Madame Clemenson as Alice Haldorson who had become a great musician. She stayed at her villa for rest after her strenuous musical season. Alice still was the same jolly girl she had been. Our visit with her was one of genuine pleasure. Hating to leave her restful villa, we had to continue our trip. We went flying over the wonders of the Alps. Our lodging place for the night was a neat Alpine hut. Our hostess, Emily Hacker, was gentle and kind, and took care that we enjoyed our visit at her home. She had met her husband when she had gone on her trip to the Alps. Leaving Emily we directed our course to Spain. In flying over the city of Madrid, we saw a spectacular scene below us. We landed to find out what was going on. As we were hurrying through the streets to the great amphitheater and arena, the shouts of the newsboys attracted us. We bought a paper, and read in big head lines that Oral Claflin was fighting a bull in the arena before the King. We went to the amphitheater, and saw Oral who w as as strong as a cup of coffee in a one-arm cafeteria. We could not, however, see Oral to congratulate him on his victory. Leaving Spain we soon landed in Paris, France. We went to all the wonderful buildings and places that all other tourists go to. In the evening we had to go to the Theatre Royale for entertainment. Miss Nellie Eide, the famous toe dancer, was the hit of the evening. Because of her numerous admirers. we had no chance to speak to her. We next stopped in Brussels, Belguim on our way to Russia. Here we met James Voll who told us that he was salesman for the Brussels Carpet Company. Being ambitious and busy, he had only a few' minutes to converse with us. When we arrived at St. Petersburg, Russia, carnival was being held in the court. In the evening the dance was the chief amusement. This we attended and enjoyed greatly. Putzy’s Symphony Orchestra furnished the music. The leader of the orchestra was in full dress suit, and had long, black hair. We learned that he was Erwin Putzier, the famous orchestra leader. Next, we went to Norway to see our sister and friend Vernie Sehachtler T II E M I R R 0 R who was tlie American Ambassador to Norway. After staying a long time with Vernie, we left for London. Tin trip was enjoyable and exhilarating. As we neared London, our machine seemed to have stopped. All at once we started down, down, down. When we gained consciousness, we were in a large London hospital. The first people whom we saw were Elizabeth Brown, the capable head nurse, and Emil Ede, the black eyed doctor. With these as the restorers of our health we felt safe. The days in the Hospital passed quickly. One day we were honored with the visit of Lady Rushingford who brought (lowers to us. She had been Pearl Odegard, and when she found out who we were, she invited us to recuperate at her country home in Worcestershire. We accepted her invitation, and had a royal time. Over the radio we heard Madame Irene Berg sing from New York. Irene had risen to great heights as a soprano. Pearl told us that Margaret Fitzpatrick was the champion woman athlete of Ireland—Ireland’s great pride. As our plane “Susanna” was an entire wreck, we had to continue the rest of our journey by boat and rail. From Liverpool we took the White Swar. to Iceland. Who should be our deck steward but Floyd Helwig, now a robust sailor. Iceland had now become the Flowerland of the North. Going down the main street of Reykjavik, we saw “Robinson’s Beauty Parlor” looming in front of us. Of course, we must enter the building to satisfy our curiosity. A tall, well-groomed man who had the airs of a French gentleman of dress waited upon us. There was no mistake about his identity; he was Clarence Robinson. His line of business was proving successful in Iceland. Leaving the Flowerland, we crossed the Atlantic to Canada. After reaching Quebec we took the train across the continent, slowly making our way to Alaska. The journey was enjoyable except for a feeling of somebody following us. The mystery was solved when we were accosted by an uncouth person showing warrants for the arrest of two women unknown to us. We told the detective that he had made a mistake, and also gave him our names. His face showed expressions of confused emotions. He apologized, and then it wan our turn to be surprised. He doffed his cap, and we instantly recognized him as Jens Severson. After talking over life since graduation, Jens resumed his hunt for the women, and we went on to Alaska. Our first stopping place was at Fairbanks. The fiist thing that greeted our ears was a tremendous noise. Whatever could it be? It proved to be a community sing of Eskiinoes directed by Miss Marian Gie e. Her pupils were rapidly developing in vocal talent. The singing was interrupted by the dashing in of a policeman. He was short, but full of vigor which was apparent when he spoke. Reaching Marian, we greeted her and found out that the policeman was Raymond Stein-ke. 11 is mission was important for soon the crowd was following him. This was a land of quick action. Sending our regards to Raymond we went on our way. We stopped at Honolulu, Hawaii before going home. In Honolulu a great musicale was being put on by the Music school. The dancing master was James Hill, and his wife, Florence Teeple. was the music instructor. The musicale was a splendid exhibit of their work. Our visit at their home was a grand review of our entire trip—a trip that is never to be forgotten.

The backfield showed plen-iv of speed and drive, while the line headed by Captain Fitzgerald, offered a strong defense. The scoring consisted of four touchdowns, three points after touchdowns, and one drop kick. Frequent substitution;- were made throughout the game. Coach Semans endeavored to give the entire squad a chance to show their ability. MONDOVI 16; ARCADIA 6 On the morning of the last day of the local county fair, the player; of the Mondovi team proved themselves superior to the representatives from Arcadia On the very first play of the game, Lawience Hanson, running behind excellent interference broke through left tackle and ran 70 yards for a touchdown Later in the game Mondovi succeeded in adding a touchdown, goal after ♦ottchdov n, and a drop kick to Arcadia’s lone touchdown. This brought the final score lfi to fi. MONDOVI 6; BLOOMER 0 A week later Mondovi won its first game away from home, defeating Bloomer. 6 to 0. The team showed a marked improvement over the previous week. Both teams were about equal on the defense; but Mondovi was better on offense. The kick offs and punts by Marcus Aase were the features of the game. MONDOVI 25; BLACK RIVER FALLS 7 The following Saturday Mondovi displayed real football in defeating Black River Fa,IJs 25 to 7. The first half ended 7 to 6 in Black River’s favor, but in the second half Mondovi came back with a determination to win and fought hard. The score was 25 to 7. Black River’s fullback was the opposing eleven. MONDOVI 0; STANLEY 43 The next week Mondovi met its hardest and first superior foe, Stanley. The game was played on a wet and slippery field during a drizzling rain. This prevented Mondovi's passing attack and also stopped its open field work. Stanley had the best team in this part of the state and defeated Eau Claire and Menominie by large scores. This made the defeat easier to take. MONDOVI 38; AUGUSTA 0 The eleven put a fitting climax to the 1923 football season by administering a 38 to 0 score over Augusta. A big change was made in the line up, Sever Quale and Gordon Kruger, both line men, played in the backfield, an 1 “ripped off” some big gains for our team.

As last year’s entiie team was lost by graduation, all the positions on the team were open to the strangest bidders. The first game was played against Eleva on December 7. The first half of the game was loosely played, but in the second half Mondovi “cut loose” and scored a 28 to 4 victory. A week later Mondovi won from the Aicadia quintet, 13 to 11. in one of the hardest fought games, that has ever been played on the local floor. Throughout the game both teams were within a few points of each other. Time was called and the score ended in a tie. Five extra minutes were played, in which Odin Clemeiison caged a very difficult basket. So Mondovi was again victorious. The next game both first and second teams journeyed to Kau Claire, where they met defeat. The following Thuisday, Mondovi again met defeat at Ar cadia. The team seemed to lack pep and drive. Christmas vacation came at an appropriate time. On .January 11, two basket ball teams of Kau 1 laire II. S. invaded Mon davi and made off with two victories. The first team beat the Mondovi first team 26 to 6. The second team won from the Mondovi seconds, in a preliminary game, 7 to 1. Kau Claire’s ability of caging long shots gave them an easy but hard fought victory. The next three games were played against Gilmanton, Arkansas, and Fall Creek. These three games were all close and hard fought games. We lost to Gilmanton, 7 to 12; won from Arkansas 14 to 12; and lost to Fall Creek, 7 to 8. In the Fall Creek game, the team seemed to have regained the fighting spirit. On February 15, Mondovi’s first and second teams journeyed to Arkansas and won a double header. The second team won 12 to 3, and the first 14 to 12. The teams left Mondovi at three o’clock in the afternoon, in a large sleigh, and returned at six-thirty the next morning. This was a trip the boys will never forget because of the numerous experiences that were encountered. On the way down the sleigh tipped over three times, and on the way back broke down. The boys had to walk about a mile, then finally succeeded in borrowing a sleigh from a farmer. They arrived in town about day-break, tired but not down-hearted. The next two games were played with Durand. The first was played at Mondovi, on February 22. Mondovi got an early lead but was unable to keep it, the game ended, Mondovi 7, Durand 8. The following Friday a return game was played at Durand. Mondovi outplayed its opponents and led through most of the game, but as the fates willed it, lost. On Wednesday, March 5, Mondovi closed the season with a home game against Gilmanton. The game was fast and closely fought. Mondovi was in the lead most of the time; the first half ended in a score of 5 to 6. the game, 10 to 11 in Mondovi’s favor. The score was kept down by the hard luck shots of both teams. Fritz Scott was the individual star of the game, as he caged four of the five baskets. Next year, the team, with practically the entire squad back, ought to develop into a fast and clever aggregation. r II E MIRROR 1923-1924 PLAYERS Margaret Fitzpatrick....................

Is the education of students being neglected to enable tbem to tal e part in these contests? These are common questions expressed in the community to-day which 1 think deserve serious consideration, as they are of vital importance to the student and to the parent. I think that athletic are a valuable part of the student’s training or education, and are thus worth while. No other school activity provides such an excellent means for actually applying the principles taught in school. Instruction in languages, science, and other branches is theoretical—the student must wait until after he finishes school for an opportunity to apply what he lias been taught. In the sciences, laboratories give some actual practice, but even those do not give the students a chance for actual application. But the games of football, baseball, and basketball place squarely before the real'American boy the problem of dealing with human nature, of handling men, of meeting the strongest competition both mental and physical. In any game, as played to-day, he has to bring into play and justify the principles that he has been learning in school. These competitive games teach discipline, instill the spirit of co-operation, _nd help to build the character of boys participating. Any boy delights to measure his strength, endurance, skill, strategy, and daring with his friends, and, of course, he likes to come out “on top. But, in order to win any game he must make himself part of the team, and then In is striving for the success t f his team rather than for individual gloiy. What matter then if he wins or loses? That is incidental. If the student has learned the advantages that result from working in hgi mony w ith otheis, has he not already reached a desirable objective in life; for co-operation is the foundation of our nation to-day. This spirit of co-operation, which infuses every member on an athletic team with fighting blood to give all In can for his teammates and school, is the spirit that hebps build up the boy’s character. It requires long tried patience, constant practice, hard knocks, and constant self-sacrifice to make the ordinary high, school or college team. Isn’t it worth while to encourage such traits as these'? What better way is there to make good citizens'? It must, therefore, be remembered that athletics are not an end in themselves. but that they are really a part of our educational system. (James are not played merely for the mu cular recreation that may be obtained from them, but they are instituted by the High School Administration as an important factor in the character training of the student’s life. We might truthfully say that life itself is an experiment ; and the athletic field is a laboratory where the high school athlete can conduct his experiments in learning how to stand “The Tests of Life.’’ THE MIRROR PHILAKEAN SOCIETY T II E MIRROR THE VILONIAN SOCIETY OFFICERS FiRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER (.unda Plekke.................President .............Adell Thompson Margaret Fitzpatrick........

The question was: Res lved. That Congress enact a federal law embodying the principal features of the Huber Bill, constitutionality conceded. The question at issue was debated between Arcadia and Mondovi. Our Affirmative Team debated the Negative Team of Arcadia at Mondovi. Although our Affirmative put up a strong fight, Arcadia received a two-to-one decision over us. Our Negative Team went to Arcadia where they turned the tables and were the victors by a two-to-one decision. Our two teams received a standing only one-sixth of one per cent from that of the Arcadia teams. In the several weeks’ work with Miss Falk, our debaters acquired a comprehensive and thorough knowledge of the whole question. 1 he debaters deserve praise for their patient and diligent work.

The change of schedule for the second semester’s work deprived many of the members of the first semester of membership. There were thirty members the first semester and twenty, the second. The Club specialized in three-part singing. The girls’ voices were carefully tested to determine which parts their voices were best suited to sing. The Glee Club sang very creditably at a meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association and at the concert given by the Music-Department. An operetta was given by the combined Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Qlubs. � T II E M I R II O R B0 S’ DOUBLE QUARTET MEMBERS Marcus Aase Harry Barstow Odin Clemenson Arthur Auer Oral Clatlin Leslie Hovey Jens Severson James Voll A Boys’ Double Quartet was recently organized to take the place of the Boys’ Glee Club.

As tlie day approached, dark hints and warnings were issued until the atmosphere around the twenty-fourth was so charged with mystery that the poor “Freshies” literally “shook in their shoes.” As the Freshmen entered the building, they were first relieved of their shoes, which were then dumped into large baskets. Then, stocking-footed, they were guided to the assembly room by ghostly figures, where the initiation proper began. The fact that each individual was called upon to perform a stunt quite ruffled his dignity. Each Freshman was then presented with a green bow in honor of tin occasion. Adorned with these gay colors they were directed to the platform at the head of the north stair-way, where each one descended the slide in no gentle manner. After this thrilling ride the guests were conducted into the agricultural room, which was prettily decorated for the occasion with pumpkins, com shocks, and ribbons. Here refreshments, which consisted of bread and milk, were served. They protested against this bill of fare, but were forced to eat it. Then, to soothe their indignant feelings, and to restore their good humor, cakes and ice cream were served. Shortly after the lunch, the Freshmen adjourned. All reported a joyous time. —Howard Hovey, ’2fi. VILONIAN PARTY The members of the Vilonian Society gave a Hallowe'en Dress-up Party on October the twenty-ninth. The Agricultural Room was dimly lighted and fittingly decorated for the occasion. Black cats, corn stalks, and pumpkins were used in profusion, which lent an air of mystery to the room. Witches, ghosts, and goblins also contributed their share to the mysterious atmosphere. The future was revealed to the girls of the society by an expert fortune teller. Attractive costumes were Worn by all; particularly must we mention Maurita Grorud’s. She kept the party in continual merriment by her novel dress. The best time is reported to have been had by all present. —Irene Berg, ’24. JUNIOR HALLOWE EN PARTY On Wednesday evening, October the thirtieth, the Juniors celebrated Hallowe’en by giving a party at the High School. The agricultural room was fittingly decorated in orange and black streamers, jack-o-lanterns, and coin-stalks. In one corner of the room, which was curtained off, Ethel Roffler presided as fortune-teller. Among the many stunts, the following were the most humorous: Emma Quale made a suffragette speech; Arnold Pape heroically attempted to “do up” Faye Goss’s hair with one hairpin (the hairpin looked rather small to Arnold) ; and Myron Lee rode a broomstick around the room. In the opinion of all present the teachers imitated the animals of the zoo with striking exactness. Partners for supper were chosen, and pie-a-la-mode was served. Mr. Dodge arrived too late to enjoy the good time, but he was recompensed by receiving a huge plateful of ice cream, which he was made to eat with a fork. After lunch the merry crowd dispersed. —Loretta Hanley, ’25. FRESHMAN “A” PARTY On November the first, the Freshman “A” class and the Faculty joined together to have a “ Hallowe ’en-Good-time. ” Everyone was escorted by weird, spiritual friends to the agricultural room, where the bloated faces of yellow jacks grinned audaciously at them. Various initiations were performed here. TIIE MIRROR For those who wished to have their future foretold, a prophetess of supernatural talent was at hand. Contrary to most anticipations, the teachers became as young as the youngest. The zeal with which they entered into the games was surprising, mid we arc sure they forgot the troubles of the day. Of course, as nothing would be complete without the “eats,’’ we all burned to the commercial room where lefreshments were served. The speeches ami songs which followed showed remarkable talent. Most striking of all was the vocal duet by Mbs Meisckothen and Miss Bishop. Last, but not least, was the vocal solo by Miss Falk. Shortly after the refreshments were served, the party broke up. Everyone went home happy. FOOTBALL PARTY Wednesday evening, February the sixth, Mr. Semans entertained the Football boys, Principal Dodge, and Mr. Thompson at an oyster-stew. After the repast, Mr. Thompson gave an interesting talk on the importance of clean athletics. In behalf of the players, Captain Fitzgerald presented Coach .Semans with a gold pen and pencil. Mr. Dodge presented “MV to the following boys: Captain Fitzgerald, Lawrence Hanson, Clarence Robinson, Odin Clemenson, Jens Severson, Floyd Ilelwig, Pierce Ruseling, Gordon Kruger, Harry Barstow, Barney Barstow, Oral Clafiin, Marcus Aase, Fred Scott, Sever Quale, and Foster Colby. Marcus Aa e was elected Captain for the coming MIRROR-SALES CAMPAIGN PARTY A good-time party was given, February the eleventh, for all students who sold two Mirrors during the week’s campaign of the sale of Mirrors, to the members of the Mirror Staff, and the Faculty. The party opened with a “Mock Wedding,’’ at which Mr. Dodge, as minister, presided with utmost decorum and united Jessie Lai son as bride, and Irval Lurndal as bridegroom in the bunds of matrimony. Then the stories of the “Three Bears’ and “Red-riding-hood” were dramatized very cleverly by Mr. Semans, Alice Haldorson, James Voll, and Elizabeth Brown. Next in order was the initiation into the secret society, namely, the “Hennery Club.” As this is a secret organization, the proceedings of it cannot be revealed. After we were all qualified members of the society, we adjourned to Room “B” where light refreshments were served. By the smiles on the faces of those present, a casual observer would sav. “they must have had a good time.” JUNIOR CAST PARTY The Junior Cast decided to have a party on the evening of February thirteenth. to celebrate the success of the Junior Clas ; Play. When the two sleighs which were secured for the occasion arrived at the High School building, the jolly bunch, under the chaperonage of M:ss Hurley and Miss Siljan, went tor a long sleigh ride. In attempts to race, by singing, and by giving High School yells, they created a lively time. Alden Whelan added to the merriment of the crowd when he straddled one cf the horses. Francis Kensmoe wrenched his ankle when he heroically attempted to rescue Helen Cleasby, who had fallen out of the sleigh. At eight-thirty the crowd assembled in the Commercial Room, where games were played. A few girls prepared a plentiful lunch in the Domestic Science Room. After an enjoyable social evening, the group jumped into the sleighs, and were taken to their respective homes. As is usual when the peppy Junior crowd get together, thev all declared the bail had a joll tune. PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION November eighteenth, 1924. a Parent-Teacher Association was organized at the High School building. This association meets the third Monday of every month. At the present time Mrs. C. E. llinman is president; Miss Hurley, THE MIRROR secretary; Laura Hanson, vice-president; and Mrs. Haldorson, treasurer. The prime purpose of this association is to furnish an opportunity for parents and teachers to become better acquainted, and to establish a friendly and helpful relationship between them. Through this association many improvements may be accomplished. Due to the influence of this organization, one es ential thing was accomplished the installing of lights in the Whelan building. On February eighteenth, 1! 24 an interesting feature of the program for the evening was the conducting of regular classes for two periods. Thus interest was aroused in school work After each program a business meeting was held followed by a lunch and social hour. MOTHER HUBBARD S BIRTHDAY PARTY This play was presented by a group of grade children under the direction of Miss Shervey. the Domestic Science instructor. The aim of tins play was to teacli the essentials of nutrition lessons. To show which foods contain nutritive value, the children gave Mother Hubbard a birthday party. Some characters brought such foods as were healthful because of the vita-mines which they contained. These characters were Curly Locks, who brought fruit; Tommy Tucker, bread and butter; Mary, vegetables; Miss Muffet, curds and whey; Pretty Maid, milk; Humpty Dumpty, eggs; Jack and Jill, water; and Red Riding Hood; butter and cream. Then other groups appeared on the scene with foods which were detrimental to the health. These characters were Bo-Peep, who brought a lamb; Tom, the Piper’s Son, a pig; and Jack Horner, a pie. That night when sleep came, those who had eaten unhealthful foods were groaning, but the children who had eaten healthful foods were having dreams of Peace, Rest, and Contentment. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Due to the passage of a new law, physical education was introduced at the beginning of the school year. The boys of the football and basketball teams and those who had a special doctor’s permit were excused. The course consisted of calisthenics, military training, hikes, games, and hockey. Three periods a week were devoted to this work. Calisthenics was given once a week, with Mr. Thompson as director. Military training was given for the boys under the direction of Mr. Dodge, either one or two days of the week. While the boys had military training, the girls reported to their class advisors for hikes or games. A girls’ hockey team was also organized with Miss Falk, as coach. In the latter part of November when the cold weather set in, physical education was discontinued, because of lack of room to carry on the exercises in the school building. It will be resumed again in the spring as soon as the weather permits. THE MIRROR ACADEMIC The departments offered for study in our school are the academic, agricultural, commercial, domestic science, musical, and teacher’s training. There are vocational departments for those who desire to go immediately into special fields and a general course for these who intend to continue their education in higher institutions. The academic course include; Mathematics, English, Latin, Social Science, and Applied Science. Without a doubt, the most important of these subjects is English. It is becoming more and more imperative to the success and social well being of every prison that he speak and write his native tongue correctly and that he have an appreciation for the better works in literature. Cognizance of this fact is taken in the English course which provides for the study of some of the classics, the fundamentals of grammar, and the development of ideas in both written and oral themes. Many people think of the Latin language as a dead language, but it is in reality the bas's of all the other languages. In our high school, four years of Latin are offered: Latin Grammar, the first year; Caesar, the second year; and Cicero and Virgil alternately the last two years. Altho Latin is an elective subject, the classes are becoming larger every year, a fact which proves its desirability. The Mathematical course includes Algebra and Geometry, both elementary and advanced. The elementary couises are compulsory, Algebra during the Freshman year, and Geometry during the Junior year. For the pupils desiring more advanced work in Mathematics, advanced Algebra and Solid Geometry are offered as semester courses in the Senior year. The Social Science Course includes Ancient and Medieval History, Modern History, American History and Civics, Economics, American Democracy, and Citizenship. During the Freshman year, American Democracy and Citizenship are taken up; and in the Sophomore year, Ancient and Medieval History. Modern History is an elective for Juniors. American History, which is a compulsory subject, is taken up during the Senior year. Economics is an elective f ubjeet for both Juniors and Seniors. The Applied Science Course begins the Freshman year with the study of Elementary Science. Chemistry is an elective course offered in the Junior year. Physics, a compulsory subject, is taken up in the Senior year. The accomplishments of the academic department can indeed he called great, when we stop to think over the large percentage of graduates who are now doing creditable work in higher institutions or carrying out responsible positions in the business and professional world, T II E M 1REOR COMMERCIAL The Commercial Department aims to train students to better meet the demand; of commerce, that they may be efficient bookkeepers, accountants, stenographer, and clerks. The subjects taken up in this Department are: Com- mercial Arithmetic, Bookkeeping, Shorthand, and Typewriting. Arithmetic and Bookkeeping are Sophomore subjects. Shorthand is taught in the Junior and Senior years and Typing is offered to the three upper classes. Since buxines; success depends largely upon one’s power to perceive, to reason, and to act quickly, it is very important that Commercial Arithmetic be taken up as a means of training the students. Even though a pers n dees not intend to occupy a stenographer or accountant’s chair, he will inevitably fce called upon in his phase of work to cope with business pioblems and will find a knowledge cf Bookkeeping to be of practical value. If Latin is called a “dead language,” surely Shorthand may be called a very “live language.” For a successful business career Shorthand is indispensable. A knowledge of Shorthand will make every individual more efficient. In the Junior year the study of the principles of riie Gregg system of Shorthand is taken up. This includes the reading and writing of exercises which serves as a foundation for dictation practice. During the Senior year a brief review of the prnciples, practice in fast note taking, the study of the “Gregg Writer”, and some office practice work are offered. The woik in typing consists of drills and exercises to secure rhythm and accuracy. “Time-saving” movements must also be acquired. The theory of typewriter manipulation is simple; but it is the application of the theory that produce.; results. Application can be acquired in but one way—practice, constant and intelligent practice. Continuous piactice is kept up in this work to produce skill, accuracy and efficiency. As several of our graduates have become accountants, assistants in banks, and stenographers, we can readily see that this eour. e has a place in the high school curriculum. DOMESTIC SCIENCE The Domestic Science Department is very practical and beneficial. In this department both Domestic Science and Domestic Arts ate taken up. Cooking and the study of food are taken up in Domestic Science and plain sewing and dress making in Domestic Art. Emerson aid, “To know how to cat, what to eat, and when to eat, is a problem that humanity has not yet solved, although she has enriched hersell with many inventions.” The girls, in the study of the foods, are trying to help solve this problem. v The work in this course is begun in the seventh grade. Once a week the seventh grade girls have a class for the purpose of learning the simple stitches and the use of the machine. During the year they make the cooking uniform which they use the next year when they take cooking. This course is an elective during the first two years in High School. A more thorough study of the subjects taken up in the grades is offered in the High School couise. In connection with sewing, study of textiles and home management is also taken up. The students are also taught neatness, appropriateness in dress and care in repairing of clothes. In connection with cooking. the students are taught how to plan, cook, and serve nutritious meals, to purchase foods, and to calculate their total cost. THE M T R R O R MUSIC Music is the one thing which comes nearer to being universal than any other formal expression of emotion. The a'm in all music work is to lead the student to love and appreciate good music. Under the able instruction of Miss Heineck. Glee Clubs, Orchestras, Bands. Quartettes, and classes in Musical Appreciation have been organized. That these different branches of the course have been doing some commendabh work may be shewn by the fact that they have been asked again and again to play or sing for various forms of entertainment put on by both the school and by clubs of the town. Shortly before the Christmas Holidays, a fine musical program was given by the members of the Glee Clubs and Orchestra. This program was a great success; Miss Heineck is also planning an Operetta which will be put on by the members of this Department in the near future. Through this course, a great many students have become interested in learning to play some particular instrument. These students are now members of the Orchestra and Band. This in a small way tells what the Music Department in our school has done. TEACHER’S TRAINING Teacher’s Training is given in our high school for the purpose of training teachers for the elementary and rural schools. This course is an elective in which the students review the common branches necessary for obtaining a certificate. The work in this course begins with Reviews during the Junior year. Heading Methods, Seat Work, Grammar, Language, Young People’s Reading Circle Work, and Spelling Methods are taken up. During the Senior Year there are three subjects studied, namely, Senior Reviews. Miscellaneous Reviews, and Pedagogy. In Reviews, Arithmetic, Geography, History, and Civics are included. In Pedagogy, Phychology, Observation and Practice Teaching, Profes sional Physiology and Hygiene, and Drawing are taken up. The practice teaching is carried on for eighteen weeks under the supervision of able teachers. The following are the subjects studied in Miscellaneous Reviews: School Management, School Records, Plays and Games, Hot Lunches, Professional Agriculture and Rural Economics, School Law, Nature Study, and Penmanship. Up to this time eighty-five students have graduated from this department; there are now nineteen girls in this year’s class who expect to be numbered among the list of teachers. TIIE MIRROR AGRICULTURE Agriculture is the world’s greatest and most important business. It is directly related to every person’s very existence; it either directly or indirectly affects every human being. Agriculture is not taught in the High School for the purpose of making farmers out of all of those who take the course, but because of its relationship with life. Agriculture is offered during all the four years of High School. During the Freshman year the study of Crops, Testing and Judging of Grain and Corn, Shop work and Rope work are taken up. The Sophomore boys study Weeds and Seeds together with the work on Grain and Corn. The course for the Juniors and Seniors consists of Animal Husbandry, Mechanical Drawing, with Farm Economics alternating with Animal Husbandry and Soils. Together with Outdoor and Laboratory work the above is the course studied throughout the four years. THE MIRROR Calf Club The Calf Club is a very active organization, the purpose of which is to interest boys in better live stock, and to further better stock interests in the community. It is a growing organization, as may be shown by the fact that it has grown from the nineteen members with which it started in 1919 to a membership of fifty-seven at the present time Since this club was organized, it has been represented at the State Fair every year always placing well up toward the top of all the high schools in the State. It was represented at the State Fair in the fall of 1923 by Harry Bar-stow and Floyd Hefwig. The boys w. n several first prizes and other prizes. Splendid work has been done by the club the past year and prospects look bright for the coming year, as there are already many names added for the summer of 1924. Other Agricultural Clubs, though not ro active as the Calf Club, are the Pig, Sheep, and Poultry Clubs. Of these the Pig Club is the most prosperous and active, with the result that there are several good herds of hogs, as the outcome of this Pig Club work. The Corn Club now has about twenty-eight active members and there are sixteeir new ones added for the summer of 1924. The purpose of this club is to plant corn for seed purposes. As a result of this work projects are being well developed both from the learning standpoint and from the financial standpoint. SMITH-HUGHES DEMONSTRATION The purpose of the Smith-Hughes Department is to acquaint the people of the state with different work in their high schools. Mondovi was the only one of the Smith-Hughes schools in this section to have a booth at the State Fair in which to demonstrate work. Harry Barstow, Floyd Helwig, and Mr. Thompson gave demonstrations. Word has recently been received from Mr. Gehrand, the State Supervisor, to the effect that Mondovi has been chosen to put on another Demonstration in “Poultry” at the State Fair in the Fall of 1924. THE MIRROR STOCK JUDGING TEAM E. C. THOMPSON, Instructor. The Stock Judging Team, consisting of Orval Lurndal, Edward Johnson, and Floyd Helwig, represented tliis district in the State contest at Madison and made a very creditable allowing. Orval Lurndal, with a 95 score out of a possible 100, placed highest as individual boy in the oral reasons given for placing Holsteins. We should have a good team again next year having Harry Barstow and Ray Colby as a nucleus. Because of their splendid team work the Mondovi boys won over Gilman-ton, Durand, Arkansaw, Cochrane, and Nelson in the district meet held at Durand, December sixth, 1923. All the boys show keen interest in this work. AMATEUR SHOWMAN S COMPETITION AT MILWAUKEE STATE FAIR 1923 Although competing against thirty-six picked showmen, Harry Barstow showed his tact by winning first place and the silver loving cup. This was a big climax to Harry's efforts. Elmer Winter also showed his ability by winning third place and a leather halter. Altogether this has been a big year in all the outside activities of the Agricultural Department. T II 13 MIRROR FARMER'S AGRICULTURAL SHORT COURSE This course was given at the High School to interest the farmers in our school and to give them knowledge of things of interest to them. This course was conducted by Mr. Thompson who was assisted by Mr Murat and ethers. A total of fifty four people enrolled in the course which extended over a period of several weeks. Ten meetings w'ere held on the Mondays and Wednesday ; of alternating weeks, at which different topics were taken up. Some of the topics were: “Feeds and Feeding,” “Poultry and Poultry Culling,” “Markets,” and “Spraying Orchards.” Mondovi High School is the first School in the Northwest to institute cour:e for farmers. It was merely an experiment but proved to be a very successful one. Because of thin success plans are being laid for a better course for next year. COOPERATION BETWEEN HIGH SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY The business places in town, Equity, Banks, Lumber Yards and numerous otheis, are very clcselv connected with the Agriculture Department. If the city people are clo ely related, surely the farmers are more closely related. This relation may be shown by the fact that the Agricultural classes have done work for the farmer such as: Testing milk, seeds, etc. Also, the farmers are giving their best support for Stock .Judging trips and Project work. The farmers feel that the Agricultural room of our High School is a good place to visit. We are glad to have the farmers drop in for an hour or two of social intercourse. The rural schools in the community are also closely connected with our Agricultural Department. Often Mr. Thompson or some of the members of our Agricultural Department have done some valuable work for our rural schools. THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT AND FEDERAL AID The Federal Aid helps to keep our Agricultural Department up. During 1923. Mondovi High School received nine hundred dollars as Federal Aid and in 1924, one thousand oner hundred fifty dollars. Because of this Federal Aid it is not much of a burden on the tax-payers to keep up the Department. Mondovi High School gets this Federal Aid because the Agricultural Department is doing work in Agricultuie which is accredited by the United States Government. SUMMARY Indeed a summary is quite useless, because the above facts are surely enough to show what splendid work our Agricultural Department has done the past year. Mondovi has a right to be proud of its Agricultural Department.

(From Hamlet) To study, or not to study, therein Lies the difficulty: Whether 'tis Nobler in school to study your lessons, Or to take arms against a struggling conscience And by obtaining an excuse from Mr. Dodge Thus end the woes for the day To skip school, to run away: And by this cowardly act to say we end the heartache And the “bawling out’’ a student sometimes is heir to, ’Tis a scheme often wished—To roam the woods, to paddle The canoe, perchance to enjoy some afternoon auto ride, Ah me! That’s it: For in this day of youth what does not Enter our heads when we have : huffled off this dreary task— Must give us pause. ■—Agnes Serum Cases Incurable Alice Haldorson and Odin Clemenson Helen Cleasby and Francis Kensmoe Dorothy ( anar and Philip Johnson Dorothy Cleasby and Milton Haunschild Margaret Fitzpatrick and James Yoli Tiie mirror Oases—Serious Wilma Aase and Giles Fitzgerald Loretta Hanley and Roy Lee Frances Winter and Lawrence Hanson Margaret Voll and Freddie Switzenberg Myron Lee and Sylvia Johnson Everett Meyers and Evelyn Ward Jessie Larson and Qrval Lurndahl “Dear Teacher,” wrote Darrel II.’s mother, “Kindly excuse Darrell from school yesterday, as he fell in the mud.
