“
EAUTIFUL stream! by the village side; That windest away from the haunts of men To quiet valley and shaded len. And forest, and meadow and slope of hill, Around thee, are lonely, lovely, and still. Lonely—save when, by the rippling tides, From thicket to thicket the angler glides; Or the simpler comes, with basket and book, For herbs of power on the banks to look; Or haply, some idle dreamer, like me, To wander, and muse, and aze on thee. -BRYANT “THE MIRROR’’ PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF MONDOVI HIGH SCHOOL MONDOVI, WISCONSIN 1930 IN MEMORIAM Edgar Lorenz 1913-1930 We, as a school and as individuals are deeply grieved at the sudden and tragic passing of one who, by his unfailing good humor and ever ready smile, has made each one of us his friend. Though his premature death has not given his busy mind and capable hands the opportunity which was rightfully theirs; though his inventive talent has not found time for its full expression; still his life has been full of achievement—he has brought happiness into the lives of others, and his passing has left sincere sorrow. FOREWORD Clin the preparation of this “Mirror” we have endeavored to reveal the activities of the past year in the hope that in the years to come, it may be a cherished chronicle to all the students and to all those who in any wa y have been interested in our school work. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 DEDICATION CITo the charming lady who has led us so splendidly in all our musical adventures, who has made the school room brighter by her friendly smile, and whose gracious presence we all love—to FLORENCE C. SHEEHAN in grateful appreciation, this “Mirror” is sincerely dedicated. 4444 4 Florence C. Sheehan Commencement Page s The « In this modest volume we are placing in your hands, we are attempting to give a brief indication of our work, our play, our activities,—in brief, our life while in the Mondovi High School 1 his life has not been one of all work. Neither is life itself. Nor yet have we spent all our time in fun. Life is the stuff out of which eternity is made, and is not to be wasted. Since entering the high school, we have been exposed to faithful and capable teaching. We hope we have absorbed some part of it. Hut after all. what counts in the last analysis is not so much the subjects themselves we have studied as the fact that from our Freshman year on our horizons have been slowly but surely widening. Now, as Seniors, we see the world through different eves than on our entrance as Freshmen. This, our graduation, is vet but a commencement. We hope that we mav go into the .... , . world better fitted to take our place in it because of the training here received. A Word of Appreciation In behalf of the Mirror Staff and myself, I wish to thank all those who have helped to make this Mirror a success. We have worked long and painstakingly, keeping before us constantly the goal that this should he the best annual our high school has ever brought forth. We have done our best, and yet we fear that we shall fail to reach our goal. We wish to express our grateful appreciation to Miss Jensen, our faculty advisor, who has always cheerfully and with self-sacrificing loyalty, given of her time. We realize that whatever of success attends this volume, much is due to her aid. Hut especially do we wish to thank the local business men. Without their financial support this book would be an impossibility. May our students support them as loyally as they have patronized us. HELEN M. EVANS, Editor-in-Chief Mirror Page f ('luster L.

We realize what they have done for us. and we here wish to thank them for the kind concern and the friendly interest they have shown us. To Mr. Dodge, our Principal, we wish to offer a special word of thanks. It is he who has given us wise counsel which has helped ns over the difficult places in the journey toward our goal. All through our four years of high school he has guided us safely on with never tiring patience. Accept these words of our appreciation, given with the greatest sincerity.

Mother Goose. who is the pilot of a passenger plane, had in her airship a newlywed couple. James Severson and his wife. Arvilla. When they reached Chicago, they landed at the airport of which Marie N'ogle was manager. After they had left the plane to he overhauled bv the mechanic. Arnold Amundsen, they went to the new Myren Hotel. George gave them a very cordial welcome, and told them that they would find several old classmates in the city. That evening they went to the I ivic Opera where they found Evelyn Canar and Leigh Robinson playing prominent parts in the opera. “Aida. Evelyn told them that Jean LeGore and Linda Severson were the costume makers for the opera company. While sightseeing the next day. they saw a sign which said. Dancing Lessons, by the world famous dancer, Nora Hayes. I hey entered and had a pleasant chat with Nora. She said that Velma Helwig also lived in Chicago, and that her husband was the editor of the Chicago I ribune. (Von will recall that he was a printer in Mondovi for a while.) When thev left here, they proceeded to the Held Museum, where they found Elmer Ede as janitor. While they were sightseeing in the museum, thev met Durward Rosman. They learned that Durward was employed bv the National Geographic Society and had recently returned from Brazil. That night they visited the Chicago Theatre of which Gordon Barr was manager. Just outside the door they saw a sign which announced a concert to be given by the great pianist. Fred Lyon, who had recently returned from Italy. After the show began they found Sadie Skildum, Lenore Struck, and Frances Heike on the screen. I hey also saw Evangeline Olson in the vaudeville performances. The next dav they met Gerald Skildum on the street, and learned that he was the President of the great Marshall Field Company. They accompanied him to his office and found Genesse Sw itzenberg acting as his stenographer. Then they all went back to lunch at the Myren Hotel. They noticed several familiar faces among the waitresses, namely. Esther Struck. Eda F.ide. Florence Fairchild, Lorraine Parr, and Arleen Haugen. The next day they left for Philadelphia. When they reached their destination, thev learned that Norman Hardy was the manager of a hotel there, so thev took a taxi cab to his place. That evening Eddie Huebner came to visit Norman. The travellers learned that he was writing short stories for the SATURDAY EVENING POST. The boys informed them that ldelle Haugland's husband. Merle Hanson, was the president of a large business concern in the city. They also said that Adeline Olson was a librarian in the Congressional Library in Washington. Eddie took them for a drive in his car. Finally, he stopped at an oil station, entered the building and came out with F.arl Molland. who informed them that he was the manager. On the return trip the newlyw eds stopped at Madison. I here they found three old classmates on the faculty of the University. Helen Hintnan was the President. Bob W eiss was an athletic coach, and Verena Waste was head of Athletics for Women. They learned that Ruby Olson 4 The was a member of the Senate. I hey also learned that Caurita Wright had a candy shop, so they called on her. They discovered that she had two assistants, Cora Gates and Cleo Thorson. I he following morning, they proceeded on their journey to Minneapolis, where they visited Mrs. Severson’s sister, Rosella, who was a music teacher at the Edison High School. Fhat evening thev attended a concert given by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, of which George Gilman was the director. 'I hey learned that Ruth Church, Thomas Hag-ness and Herman Linse were broad-casting for WCCO, Ruth as a pianist. Thomas as a comedian, and Herman as an announcer. During their journey through the West, they were forced to land. Fortunately, they descended near Norman Ede’s farm in South Dakota. They accompanied him to his home and found that Lawrence Odegard was his hired man. and Lorraine Hill his hired girl. His wife, formerly Myrtle Griffin, served a delicious lunch. After the tank had been refilled at the Grorud (Palmer) Service Station, they proceeded to Seattle. Washington. I hey visited the University of W ashington and discovered that Grace Erickson was the Dean of Women there, and that Onalee Brinkmon was the Girls Athletic Coach. Arvilla asked the girls if there were any other members of the class of ’31 in Seattle. Grace informed them that Tilda Aase owned a beauty parlor, and that she had Lorraine LaDuke and Frances Parr as her assistants. During their visit with these old friends, the travellers learned that Catherine Fitzgerald. Irma Nimmo, Lyin' Odegard and Evelyn Smith were trained nurses in various hospitals of the city. The girls also informed them that Anna Jane Callahan was a Mathematics teacher in the Central High School. Then they asked if there were a tailor shop nearby. With a twinkle in her eyes. Lorraine directed them to a tailor shop down the street. To their surprise, this tailor shop was owned by Richard Larson, who had Ruth Eaves as his assistant. While visiting with Richard. James remarked that about the only classmate he hadn't seen on the trip was Leo Scharf. Richard said that he had seen him a month before when lie went through Seattle with a troupe of players, and that he was a great success on the stage. The following morning the Seversons left for home, making only the necessary stops on the return trip. They enjoyed their trip very much, for not only had they seen the sights, but they had seen all of their old classmates.

Class History One fine day in September about four years ago, forty-two very brilliant and handsome lads and lasses of Norwegian, German and Irish descent, sought admittance to the Mondovi High School. By this time we had learned our A B C’s and the numbers from 1 to 100. so we thought ourselves very smart indeed, each one possessing the outstanding characteristic of all Freshmen, who all have exalted opinions of themselves. Each one was determined to be the bright and shining light” of his class. But then a great catastrophe happened when the traditional Fresh- Mirror P««« M [Class History—Continued] men initiation came along. The Sophomores were determined to take this aloofness out of us, for the mercy they showed us in doing so wouldn’t till a page half the size of a two-cent stamp. '1 he physical suffering inflicted wasn't nearly that of the mental torture. Oh, how they humbled mir pride and destroyed our morale. The next September, we discarded the green bibs and ribbons (very much to the disapproval of the Irish in the class) and took up our studies in a less enthusiastic manner, but we, probably, got more out of them because we were freed from the humility of being Freshmen. This year we were very capably led by President Marjorie Grorud assisted by the Vice President and Penman and Financier. A few members of the class left us this year, but soon Thora Isaacson and Norman Schmidlin joined our ranks. By the time we had become Juniors, we had increased greatly in stature, beauty and wisdom and considered ourselves very fit to put on a class play. The Charm School.” directed by Miss Pratt. This was just another addition to our already long string of honors and successful enterprises. This year also a few members left us, but just about this time, two young Norwegians named Esther Call and Bernice Olson decided to give up their ludefisk and lefse in Strum to come to school with our illustrious Junior class in Mondovi High School. However, the class play was not our only great accomplishment this year, for we also were sponsors of the banquet given the Senior class of 1929. President Dorr Snoyenbos with the assistance of Marjorie Grorud as Vice President and Helen Evans and Elmer Rieck each serving as Secretary and Treasurer for one semester, guided us through this eventful school year. When our illustrious class entered the fourth and final lap of its High School educational career, it was very evident that we had acquired another very outstanding virtue—dignity—the only thing left to make us aristocratic. Again the admirable Grorud became our Chief Executive, John I.ofte was Vice President, while Elmer Rieck was chosen as purser and bookkeeper of our noble crew of scholars. Our basketball team this year was going strong, largely through the efforts of a Senior, who professes to be a direct descendant of Lief Erickson himself, in the personage of Fod” Lee. By this time, our overworked and undervalued teachers had pounded a little more knowledge into our already warped and overcrowded heads. We must give this space to thank them for their efforts; in fact, we are greatly indebted to them and we hope that they will have more classes as willing to work, as quick to learn, and as attentive as our class. Having come to the end of our High School career, we realize that we must put away our marbles, dolls, and colored crayons, and take up the great business’ of life. We are sure that a group of people with such beauty, wisdom, wit. and physical prowess as our class has. will go far in the world. Let us hope that our country will value us as much as our school has. —JOHN A. I.OFTE. ’30. Page 40 The MONDOVI DAILY NEWS Elmer Rieck. Editor Vol. 3. No. 156 MONDOVI.

EDE’S DRUG STORE Aspen Ede, Prop. All’s Well That Ends Well The character of Patty Monahan was as Irish as her name. Bright red hair, a temper to match, a funny little nose, (it went straight until it changed its mind and turned up), a wide mouth that knew how to smile, and a pair of remarkably keen blue eyes; such were Patty’s outward features. She wasn't pretty, hut if you had asked her schoolmates who was the prettiest girl in high school, they undoubtedly would have replied. “Patty . It wasn't the regularity of her features; rather, it was the play of emotions on her countenance. None could ever accuse her of having a “poker face . A friend once said of her. If you want to get on the good side of Patty, watch her face and play up to her moods.” There really was more truth than poetry in that statement. Four o’clock; time for the hell. “Please remain seated. Mr. Bascom has just returned from India, and he is willing to give the geography class a little of his time, hut he has generously consented to talk to any of the others who are interested. After the hell, meet in room B. This announcement was made by Principal Downes. Another one of those beastly lectures for our class, just when I wanted to go skating, too. Anne, for goodness sakes, how do you manage to listen to those dry-as-bones lectures? I have all I can do to keep from going to sleep, say nothing of maintaining an intelligent expression on my face, as you do.” Well, Patty, tell me, just where would you he if I didn’t listen to those ‘dry-as-bones’ lectures? One of us has to take notes.” “That’s true enough, only—Oh. there’s Billy. I'll have to tell him I can’t go skating. Hey, Billee—Billee-ee-ee! I can’t go. Have to listen to some old lecture on India. shouted Patty. Tough luck. Pat; won't he much fun without you.” returned Billy with brotherly sympathy. That good-for-nothing Mr. Basket or what’s-his-name—I wonder who he is. 1 suppose some old fogey with a bald head, eye-glasses and a speckled tie.” grumbled Patty. Why, haven't you heard? He’s Principal Downes’ nephew. Quite good looking, too; at least Doris says so,” explained Anne. “Oh. Doris thinks that any stranger who wears a pair of trousers is good-looking. He's probably got a mouthful of false teeth or something. Ssh! Here's Romeo in person.” Mirror ra| 41 [All’s Well That Ends Well—Continued] If Mr. Kascom wasn't a Romeo” he certainly wasn’t as had as Patty had pictured him. In fact. Doris' description was very accurate. He was good-looking. His thatch of hair matched Patty’s own, and that was enough to have Patty prejudiced against him. She didn’t like that shade of hair on any one; not even on herself. H’mph! He thinks he’s smart because lie’s been to India. Well. I’ve been there, too. so he hasn’t got anything on me, mumbled Patty to Anne. Oh yes, you were there with the Johnson’s last summer, weren’t you? Keep still; Downes's watching us like a hawk,” and with that Anne settled down to listen in good earnest. Not so our little friend Patty. All in all, she wasn't so kindly disposed toward Mr. Bascotn as she might have been. He had spoiled a perfectly scrumptious afternoon for her. Billy, her brother, and Ted and Jean Waters were going ice-skating. I.ater there would be a “weenie” roast and marshmallows to toast. She was seated next to a window, and seeing Billy, Jean and Ted gaily swing down the walk, dangling their skates, didn’t serve to make her disposition any sweeter. As Miss Monahan, one of your classmates, has herself visited India. I will ask her to give her opinion of this point of view. I think she’ll agree with me.” Pattv came back to her surroundings with a start as she heard her name mentioned, and her eves met a most provoking smile and two eyes that seemed to have some of the original Satan in the back of them that was fighting to get through. “(jet up and say something. said Anne in a hoarse whisper. ■ ‘Oh-er-a, I know you are right about the houses—’’ Not houses, jewels,” interrupted Anne frantically. Er—I mean the jewels—are-er-a. that is-er— Mr. Bascom was enjoying himself to the full. He knew that Patty wasn’t listening; that possibly was the reason he had called on her. He had seen her staring out of the window, day dreaming (so he thought) and had wanted to see the blank expression on her face, and, as usual, impulse had ruled will. After Patty had stumbled through a few sentences, he interrupted with— Thank you. Miss Monahan. I knew you’d agree with me.” And he resumed his speech. But Patty heard no more. She was peeved, and when Patty was peeved, it behooved the person who had provoked her to fade out of the immediate landscape. Anne was watching Patty. She knew that her friend was in no trilling mood, and she feared the outcome. Her sympathy voluntarily was with Mr. Bascom. Are there any questions?” asked Mr. Bascom. When Patty rose, Anne knew that Mr. Bascoin’s day of reckoning had come. Mr. Bascom. excuse me,” piped up Patty in her most innocent little-girl voice,” but where did you say the largest diamond mines were? When I visited India the Berkley mines were the largest, and they were in the Rajputana. Did I understand you to say the largest mines were in Sind? Didn’t you say the Berkley mines of Sind were the largest? Here’s a P l« 44 The [All's Well That Ends Well—Continued] map, and the Berkley diamond mines are in Rajpntana. I'm sure it must have just been a slip of the tongue—just thought I’d call your attention to it, finished Patty sweetly. “Oh-er-a thank you. Miss Monahan; I believe I did say they were in Sind—er-a-excuse me. They are in Rajpntana.” With a very red face (unfortunately he had a most feminine blush). Mr. Bascotn dismissed the class. Patty, reprimanded Anne, as soon as she saw her alone, “how could you embarrass that poor man like that! I felt positively sorry for him. He looked like a small boy caught in the cooky par. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? Well, sorry, but I have to go. Bye—” Bye. Anne. Oh, she's right. she continued audibly to herself, after Anne had gone. I was downright rude to him. Whatever will he think of me? Oh, dear, 1 suppose I ought to apologize.” “Oh. don’t bother. Turn about is fair play.” Patty started as a pleasantly deep voice interrupted her. I really owe you an apology.” And Jimmy Bascom smiled the smile that Patty had thought so provoking. It didn’t seem so now; in fact, it was a most welcome sight, and before she knew what she was doing, she smiled back, her smiliest smile. Then it's quits? he asked eagerly stretching out his hand. It’s quits. said Patty, putting her hand in his. A short distance away, under a huge oak tree, her tall, slender form stretched gracefully in a swinging hammock, my pretty brown-eyed, curly-haired friend is entertaining a group of laughing boys and girls. I.enore is always the center of any group. It has never yet failed. I o me. her gay manner seems to be rather forced; her vivacity is belied by the look in her eyes, in which there is a deep-seated, somber sorrow, or a longing for something unknown to the rest of us. I know I.enore well. Although we do not live in the same city', we are often together. At the present time, we are at a summer resort. I have been having a wonderful time, and so has Lenore, from all outward appearances. But often at night, when we are in our room, she is pensive almost to the point of melancholy. There is something very mysterious about Lenore. She hates to show her real feelings, that I know. But why? One time, when I was visiting at her home, she ventured so far as to say, “Oh. Helen. I’m so unhappy!” But when I sympathized with her. and asked her the cause, she closed up like a clam and remained in her room the rest of the day under the pretext of writing letters. I noticed, though, that there never were any letters to mail. Xot many days after Lenore’s confession of her unhappiness, I had other proof of the truth she was telling me. T came upon her alone in her room that day. She was crying—and in her hand she clasped a tear-stained letter! Try as I may, I have never been able to find out the writer of the letter, or the cause of her grief, for, when I asked her, she —FRANCKS HF?IKE, ’31. Mirror Pa«c 4 [Lenore—Continued} .seemed to resent it. She begged me never to tell what I knew (which wasn't much, I can assure you!), and of course I didn't. Why is she so secretive about it? J have studied Lenore for two years, and yet 1 feel no nearer the solution of the mystery. She is a wonderful friend, and a cheerful companion, but there is something in her life that she has never yet confided to anyone. Her own family admit that they do not understand Lenore very well. I intend to continue studying her, and sometime I'll find out the secret which makes her unhappy. By that time, I fear, I shall he a second Sherlock Holmes. —HELEN M. EVANS. '30. The Life of a Worm I his is not. as one might suppose from the title, a zoological treatise upon the life cycle of an earthworm, but the common, everyday story of a hen-pecked husband. Jane was an ardent feminist. So was Henry—after he married Jane. Jane stood for woman’s rights. Henry did. too— after the wedding. Henrv was really a model husband; he didn't smoke; he didn't play poker; he didn't use objectionable language : and he never had a directors' meeting upon the night the poker club was to meet. No, dear reader, it wasn't virtue: it was Jane. Jane was forty, but neither fair nor fat. She seemed to be composed chiefly of angles: indeed, her enemies said that she had been a geometry teacher for so long that she had assimilated even its outlines. As for Henry—well, take your visualization of a typical hen-pecked husband, add a small moustache, the ends of which droop dejectedly about his mouth, and there he is. Jane had Henry completely under her well-manicured thumb. She dragged him about with her to listen to women lecturers who talked radically about woman's place in the modern world. She forced him to remain at home in the evenings while she entertained her friends; who. needless to say. regarded her lesser half as merely a useful appendage who nominally held the purse strings. She even made him consent to sending their only daughter. Marion, to an ultra-modern school, where she was taught that women are women and men are inconsiderable, and where, being utterly unlike her mother, she was heartily unhappy. All this, however. Henry bore with patience and fortitude. Anything to keep peace in the family. he said. And then something happened. Coming home earlier than usual one afternoon, he came upon his wife and her dearest friend chatting over their teacups. As he paused, according to his wife’s rigorous training, to carefully hang up his coat and hat. he could not help overhearing their words. Really, my dear, your husband— “Oh. Henry's just clay in my hands! Henry's meek blue eyes opened wide in righteous indignation as he heard his wife's words. “I can persuade him to do practically anything. He’s well, my dear, he has absolutely no backbone. He’s positively a—well, a worm!” Page 4 The [The Life of a Worm—Continued] Oh. my dealt. lie—” But. Henry heard no more. With his sandy hair fairly bristling he jerked on his coat, jabbed his hat far down over one ear, and strode out of the house, leaving his rubbers in the vestry as a final gesture of defiance. No, dear reader. Henry was not angry. He was. for the first time in his life, just plain mad! They say that little men have a conceit out of all proportion to their size. Well, Henry was a little man. It was not the fact that Jane dominated him which aroused his ire. It was the blow to his pride which he could not countenance: the fact that he and his shortcomings were discussed among his wife's friends! At last his wrath reached its culmination. He stopped short, readjusted his hat. twirled his dejected moustache into little points at the ends like those he had seen the villain wear when Jane hail allowed him to attend the movies, squared his shoulders, and walked almost jauntily into a nearby Western Union office. There he sent the following telegram to his daughter. Dear Marion, please pack up your things as soon as possible and leave for the University of Pennsylvania Stop Will arrange with your fool college Stop Love Dad.” He smiled with secret satisfaction as he contemplated the length of the telegram. Always before. Jane’s rigid economy in regard to his affairs had limited him to ten words. With an affected carelessness copied from his favorite hero of the afore-mentioned movies, he flung the money for the telegram upon the counter and started for home. Arriving, he found the guest gone, so he walked casually into the living room, his muddy shoes tracking over the rug. Jane gasped. “Why. Henry! Look at your shoes.

I have had good sportsmanship preached to me until—well. I don’t know until what, hut if I don't know good sportsmanship now. it certainly is not the fault of the teachers who have been in administration during the last three years. Briefly. I’m going to explain to you the main laws or rules pertaining to good sportsmanship. The rule I consider the most important is the one which deals with making fun of the opposing team. A basketball fan should never lose a chance of making fun of the other team, especially if the game is being played on his home floor. If one of the members of that team happens to he especially, short, tall, fat. or slim, call him by a fitting name. If you can't find any other kinds of names call the players by names suggested by their suits, such as yellow dogs.” Or if they happen to have checked suits, send some daring person out between quarters to play checkers or to work crossword puzzles on their backs while they are resting. (It may sound absurd, but that was suggested at the last game). Then, too. if the other side gets a basket, don’t hesitate to swear at them, or to give them a piece of your mind, and be sure to tell them to quit their cheating. Should one of the boys on your side fail to make a free throw, don’t forget to give him your opinion of his failure, and bother him until he is as miserable as he can be. When one of the opponents is about to make a free throw, make as much noise as you can to excite him if possible, so that he will miss the basket. If your side should happen to lose, walk up to some one from the home town of your opponent and tell him that his side won by cheating. If your side wins, absolutely ignore the others. Another thing, too. never take the word of the referee, for he does not know anything about it. By all means, never give any yells for the other side, or for your side either unless they are winning. —VERENA K. WASTE, ’31. What IS the Main Room Clock Could Talk? Tick tock! Ho-hum! Oh. dear, here comes Mr. Dodge with a ladder. Now. he will wind me up again. Why can't they ever let me rest? I have served so many years. It is just five minutes of nine o'clock, and time for the bell. My. such a racket—until Mr. Dodge comes in. Three minutes have gone by and the bell rings for the time between classes. Oh! such a rush! Everv-one is trying to be the first one out of the room. And such an array of colors as is displayed in the dresses and suits of the students. The bell rings and a few seconds later, in walks Miss Jensen. A short lecture follows, because the students are so long in getting settled. Clank! Clank! Crash! Oh. where are my ear muffs! Milo Thorson has started his usual routine of roaming. To the front of the room he goes, and toward George Myren's desk. Suddenly George frowns. George had better keep his feet under his desk, or he may suffer serious injury some time. Well, thank heavens Milo has gone to the library. Now, my eardrums are safe until he comes back. Page 4S The « [What II the Main Room Clock Could Talk—Continued] Slnvish! Tommy must have something very important to say to Marjorie. Now, she is laughing. I wish I knew what it is about. Just look at Leigh Robinson. He is rolling up a wad of paper and inserting it in a rubber band! Ila! 11a! He has snapped it straight at Jerry Skildum who is concentrating for once. (There must be a test next period.) Herald turns around to see where it came from, but with no success, for Leigh has resumed his studies, oh. so innocently. The periods roll by until Adeline Olson is seated in the place of honor at the front of the main room. Leo Scharf raises his hand for permission to speak. I just know from experience that he will speak loudly enough for me to hear clear across the room. Sure enough, he talks in an undertone. Adeline frowns, raps on her table, and makes him take his seat. Good gracious! Here comes Mike again. The noise of his boots startles poor Miss Jensen who just then was concentrating on some theme papers. She frowns and he grins impudently. It is just eleven minutes of twelve. The students put their books in their desks and prepare to leave. Leigh. Bob, and some of the other boys move over to the edge of their seats. They intend to be the first ones out. Mike has just gotten permission to speak, lie goes over to Harold Zittle. who sits one seat from the door. He. too. intends to be the first one out. All eyes are fixed upon Adeline. She no more than puts her hand on the button when everyone jumps up. Ha! Ha! That’s the time she fooled them! She didn't ring at all. Bob and Leigh are half way down the aisle, and Mike has entirely vanished from sight. But they all have to take their places. Now the people have to stay five minutes longer for punishment. Noon! All is (juiet for a time, but soon the students start their uproar. As soon as the doors are unlocked in walk Kddie and Marjorie. They go to a corner of the room, and a laughing conversation follows. Next in line are Dorr and Grace. They occupy another corner, but their conversation is carried on in a more serious manner, probably due to the length of their friendship. It is 1 :00 o’clock and time for school to start again. During the noon hour 1 took a rest by ticking as slowly as possible. Now Mr. Dodge is looking at me very disgustedly. “That clock is slow again. You can’t go by that time.” he says. Why do people always blame me so much? They don’t realize I’m getting old and rheumatic. Before the end of the fifth period. Milo manages to slip his daily note to Bernice. Beulah Murray certainly likes to chew gum. I have never yet seen her without gum in her mouth. It must cost her cpiite a bit every week to keep her supply replenished. It is nearly time for school to close for the day. All the students are restless. The bell for assembly finally rings, and in walks Mr. Dodge with a stern look on his face. “Pick up the paper, please.” he says, and everyone hastens to do so. “Kxcused.” This word uttered with such little effort by Mr. Dodge, caused such a joyous uproar on the part of the students that the building shakes from the release of their pent up zeal. A few of the most ambitious students remain, some of them to study, but more of them to visit. Over on one side of the room is a group of Mirror Paga 4 [What If the Main Room Clock Could Talk?—Continued] industrious Seniors working their Physics problems for the next day. There is always a great deal of argument as to which answers are correct. Oh. my goodness! W'liat i that awful noise I hear downstairs? It sounds like spectators at a horse race, or a hall game. I can hear Miss Icnsen trving to make herself heard above the uproar, say “Please he quiet, people. Teachers do have their troubles, don't they? It is six o’clock. The last of the students. Lillian and 1 della Wendt, left just one minute ago. They enjoy staying until the last minute, but not for the purpose of studying. At last I will have a quiet time. Hut I cannot rest. I must keep on ticking off the time, and be ready for another day at 8:30 tomorrow morning. HELEN EVANS and FRED LYON. A Pretty Incentive Naturally, stories that do not have characters of each sex are not verv interesting to the majority of readers. I'o start things right in this particular instance, we shall immediately focus our spotlight on a youth, who, though not conspicuous in the crowd of his own team-mates, stood waiting for the center to pass the ball. What was the matter with him anyway? And not only him. but with the rest of those hoodlums out there trying to play football? Bunk! If he couldn't play better than that, he’d quit. Finally the ball hit his stomach, and the play proceeded. It was the last practice before the great game, and everyone was waiting with interest the outcome of the scheduled battle. I red was nervous, excited, and anxious, which caused his thoughts to be recorded as they were. He was the star and big gun” of his eleven, and he himself knew that if his actions went wrong, something dangerous might happen. He dreaded the thought of it. You may think that loss of the game meant disgrace to him—perhaps it did. But that was not all that he was thinking about. What was it that little blue-eyed, blond friend of bis had said? Oh pshaw! Why did he ever sec or even hear of her? She was the only cause of his uneasiness. ell. he would fight for—Signals were barked and be was off again, leaving his train of thoughts behind. The dav of the game dawned bright and clear. Fred got up early and went through his daily routine. 1 he morning passed slowly, and after a long wait, it was time to go to the dressing room. Lpon his arrival he was greeted by a scrutinizing look from the coach. Feeling all right.' he asked. “ ’Course I am. answered Fred, as carelessly as his present mood permitted, although his answer was contrary to facts. He slowly made his way to his locker and pulled out his jersey— the one he had worn in so many battle. Now it was his last chance to show that he had earned it. and it touched his heart to think of wearing it on the field for the last time. He put it on. even though the unpleasant sweat aroma did fill his nostrils. That didn't matter. It seemed like having an old friend back again. Ilis eyes chanced to rove about the room what's the matter? Every single man present was watching him. and he sensed the reason. After having fully dressed himself, he lay Page o The [A Pretty Incentive—Continued] down to take the usual rest before the game. After every man was ready, the coach gave his last minute orders and sent them off with a demand to fight as they never had before.” Their arrival on the field was greeted by a mighty cheer from the local stands. After going through the regular warming up exercises. Fred let his eyes roam through the rooters’ section of his own school. Presently he spotted a little hat. a smiling face, an oddly shaped penant. and he had his reassurance. The whistle blew, and lie went over to the referee for the coin toss. The opposing captain chose heads and lost. Freddie elected to defend the west goal and both teams lined up for the kickoff. We shall overlook the details of the first half, for I'm afraid no one would he interested in them. What we do know, however, is that the opponents held the ( to 0 edge over the home team. Some rooters were angry, some surprised and others disgusted, hut a certain rooter was silent. She had witnessed the heart-breaking half with more than unusual interest, and now believed that her hoy friend was going hack on her. Oh! Why didn't he play the way he could and should? Down in the locker room sat Freddie listening to the advice of the several coaches and at the same time getting a bawling-out for being a baby. After the head coach was out of breath. Freddie turned his thoughts to Alice. She was the only one had thought him “yellow and he was beginning to believe she was right, hut he couldn’t let everybody know. So the only thing left to do was to snap out of it and get busv. This time, when the whistle blew, it was an altogether different team and a different Freddie that went into the fray. During the following two quarters the team covered itself with glory and when the final whistle blew, they found themselves one point to the good, which meant victory, championship for the school—and to Freddie—Alice! —EDMUND HUEBNKR. Ml. Mr. Samuel Dawson Ever since babyhood Samuel Dawson could talk until his teeth rattled. Papa and Mama Dawson thought their dear little son would surely become a great orator, but their hopes were blasted, and their once dear little Sammy became a loud-mouthed public auctioneer. Sammy should have taken up the big bass horn instead of auctioneering, but. as fate would have it. he was not born with a musical mind, or he surely would have been in Sousa’s band. To see Samuel one would think him to be quite prosperous—he is always dressed in a black suit, a black tie with an imitation diamond stick pin. a white high-collared shirt, and a ten gallon hat; but the truth of the matter is that Sammy never pays his bills and has never been known to pay anything with cash, the result being he has to travel a long way from his home town before he can buy anything. Mirror Page f I [Mr. Samuel Lawson—Continued] Sammy is of a roving instead of a home-loving nature, so that his wife has to take care of his farm while Sam travels around the country using his vocal chords to earn his living. Sam is a very good auctioneer. He can convince anyone that an old, broken-down plug is a dashing cavalry horse. The old saying, “Speech is silvern, silence is golden,” as concerning Sam. is very true, for a little more silence on Sammy's part would have brought him a little more gold. -MERLE HANSON, ’31.

HELEN E. HINMAN, 31 Page 1 The Tiger Hunting with The Prince of India 1 he President of a New York society club had just resigned his position, and was planning on going into the interior of India to hunt man-eating tigers. He invited my three friends. Tom. Dick, and Harry, and me to accompany him on this trip, over which we were very enthusiastic. We started from New York on a dark morning in September and arrived in India the next dav. taking a passenger train through Europe. W e were walking down the street in the afternoon the day after we had arrived in India, when a gorgeously dressed man, escorted by a band of men. confronted us. He did not offer to give us passing room, and as the sidewalk was very narrow. Tom bumped into him. Immediately lie ordered our arrest, and we were taken to court before a native Prince. When we reached our destination, he asked what was our business in India. Well. Tom said. “We were going to hunt tigers up in Madena-ville. but now I guess we are going to spend our time in jail.” What were you going to do? he asked. Tom repeated the statement, and immediately the Prince asked if he could help us in any way. because he was also going hunting and would like to have us accompany him. We were delighted when the Prince said that we would start the next day. It seemed to me as if tomorrow would never come, but it finally did, and we started out for Madenaville, where so many man-eating tigers had recently been destroying property and life. We arrived at Madenaville on the third day after our departure, and were all ready to start hunting on the fourth day. The first day we were out hunting, we found a tiger den with only two little tigers, and these the Prince killed. The men took the brains and used them as charms, as they thought they would bring them good luck. The second day was very different, as we got four large tigers. One of them was killed almost instantly, but the other was only wounded, and it came at me like a cyclone. I started to run. but the tiger gained on me fast. Just as the tiger was about to kill me. I stumbled and he flew over me. bumped his head against a tree and killed himself. When the others came up, I had cut his throat, and they all thought 1 had killed him with my knife. I confirmed this statement, and. of course, became the proud man of much praise. The tiger I had killed was the biggest of all. Afterward I had this skin made into a rug. The greatest hunt of all came on the next night. A scream was heard, and I ran out of my hut just in time to see a monstrous lion carry off an Indian woman. I hurried into my hut to get my gun. but to my despair. I found that my servant had killed himself with it. and had taken my last bullet. Seizing a club. I pursued the tiger. After a short time I came upon the monster feasting upon the dead woman. When he saw. me. he immediately charged. I realized my defenseless state. The beast knocked me down. I could feel his hot breath on my face! His teeth closed obout my arm. and------! Percy! Percy! Hurry, or you'll be late for school. Oh, Gee. how will I ever know now whether 1 was killed or not? —NORMAN HARDY. Ml Mirror Page 51 Hack Middle Front Row -1 .oft e, SnoyenhoH, Huebner, Lyon. Hanson. I Grorud.

The Girls' Athletic Association is an organization which gives athletic-loving girls an opportunity to participate in various sports such as basketball, volleyball, baseball, soccer, and track. Tournaments for these sports are held at the close of their respective seasons. The girls even have a chance to earn a letter with the points awarded for participating in the various kinds of athletics. Points are given for the sports named above, and also tor skiing, skating, and hiking. Four hundred points must be earned to receive a letter, and six hundred fifty points to earn a sweater: only Seniors and Post Graduates are awarded sweaters. The Association earns money for these awards by selling candy and “hot dogs” at athletic games and at school. This year the girls sold magazines and earned cpiite n sum of money for the society as well as prizes for themselves. At the close of the sale the girls celebrated with a dress-up party which was unanimously proclaimed a great success. Page 2 The a Hack Row—Aase. D. Olson. Hayes. Tully, Dillon. S. 'lundernon, Wild.

The programs were centered mainh about the present movement toward the establishment of international peace. Hence, a study was made of the various organizations and treaties which have been formed to promote world peace, of the attitude taken by various prominent statesmen on this question, and of the viewpoint of contemporary writers, in order to learn just what hope may be held for the permanent banishment of war.

Oui hoys played a good brand of football for the first game, and probably would have won if they had not been handicapped by penalties. MONDOVI 20: GALEVILLE 0 This game was played on our opponent's gridiron. The football plaved during the first half was a bit ragged. But in the last the boys hit their stride and broke through the Galesville forward walls for the touchdowns. MONDOVI 12: NEILSVILLE 6 This game was played against “Winkie” Claflin’s red and white warriors. Although they did stop our backs they could not prevent them from running up a larger score than theirs. MONDOVI 0; AUGUSTA 18 Another defeat which spoiled our chance to make good in the conference. The boys tried their best to stop the onrushing Augustians, but could not prevent them from making gains continuously. MONDOVI 20; NOTRE DAME 6 This game was played against the scrappy Irish of Chippewa Falls. Althought the visitors went home beaten, they left a good reputation behind. MONDOVI 0: ARCADIA 18 Our last league game, and what a sad affair! The gloom descended in the first quarter when our captain was injured and had to retire from the game. Although they were badly beaten, our boys must be given credit for their stubborn defensive playing. MONDOVI 6: COLFAX 18 An extra game which we wish we had not played! Each individual on both teams received his own share of hard knocks, but no one left the field of battle on this account. MONDOVI 7; ELLSWORTH 19 This game surely was a contrast to the last, for both teams played fair and square.” The Blue and White got their touchdown by plugging the Ellsworth line, but in return could not stop the clever backs of the same bunch. And so ended the season. Even though we lost the majority of the games, we feel that we had a team and a coach of whom to be proud. Page 8 The a Back How—Hanson, Olson.

Hey, there, Jack, shouted an envious playmate, where did you get that scrumptious pie? Mm-my big sister. Mary, made it. Jack managed between bites. Come over here, fellows, and I'll give each of you a weeny taste. Just then Mary cams through the yard Say, Mary, how come you can make such bully, good pie? shouted Tommy. I have Just completed a course in Domestic Science in the Mondovi High School, replied Mary with such dignity as she thought befitting a Senior in speaking to her little brother’s friends. If you boys will listen attentively, I will tell you all about it. Home economics is but one part of the whole scheme of education. It helps prepare individuals to take their places in society. There are several reasons for advertising the work of the department. • To spur the pupils to higher zeal by giving them a basis of comparing values. To develop leadership. To teach pupils to do better the desirable acts they will do anyway, and to reveal higher types of activities and to make them both desired and. to an extent. pojcible. To help girls find satisfactory outlets for creative expression through home management, clothing, housekeeping and community enterprises. To develop character and individuality. To promote a satisfaction of social life in the home. This work is begun in the Seventh grade. During the first two years in High School the girls are given opportunity to elect home economics courses. Our large, pleasant, well-equipped laboratory makes our work more interesting. Activities of the department include exhibits, the planning, preparation and serving of breakfasts, luncheons, suppers, dinners, and teas. The student home economics club, called the Willing Workers , serves the school in various ways, as helping make costumes for the operetta, preparing various school supplies, and helping with banquets. And now you understand, boys concluded Mary, where I learned to bake Die. I can sew too. I made this dress I have on.” Commercial Department The friendly iights are gleaming To beckon on their way The Airplanes of Commerce That travel night and day. The Commecial Curriculum of Mondovi High School this year has not been changed from that of previous years. Twentieth Century Bookkeeping is being taught as a full year, two hours per day subject. The newest method of approach, followed by the sixteenth edition, is proving a success. The equation form of Assets minus Liabilities plus Proprietorship is used as a basis for recording transactions. Arbitrary lules have been abolished, and the principles are developed entirely as a result of reason and not of rules. A “better than average class of twenty-two students is working diligently to complete the partnership set of books. A second-year class in stenography is in operation again this year, after being abandoned for one year. Although the class has but five members, they are making themselves indispensible to both faculty and student body as stenographers. Several are finding spare time employment in various professional offices in Mondovi. The Junior stenography class has an enrollment of twenty-one students. These are divided into two sections so that they may take full advantage of the equipment. Four new Underwood typewriters wrere added to the equipment this year and, of the other machines, not one is over two years old. [Commercial Department —Continued] Page 7 The a The initial enrollment of about forty pupils in Commercial Arithmetic class was reduced to thirty because of crowded accomodation. A large enrollment in Commercial Law is anticipated for next semester. In the last fifty years there have been enacted four amendments to our Federal Constitution, thousands of new laws and regulations. State and Federal, on the subjects of transportation, public utilities, workmen's compensation, investment trusts and a large number of other subjects of commerce. It is a source of satisfaction that we are engaged in a work of infinite possibilities. We are living in an industrial age. Complete and enlightening records have superceded trial and error methods and a knowledge of our laws of commerce has become a necessity. These facts suggest that opportunities of real work for the student of commerce are unlimited. Music Department Tommy Tucker, who was a Senior in High School, was very musical. It happened that he was kidnapped and carried far away. Although he escaped in Saint Paul, he did not have any money, so he could not go home. Suddenly an idea occurred to him. He would sing on the streets and get some money, for he really was a very good singer. He began to sing melodies from great operas. Soon a large crowd gathered about him. listening spell-bound to his music. Later, when Tommy passed his cap around for coins, a distinguished looking gentleman said. “That was fine singing, son. but how does it happen that you sing classical songs and airs from operas? Most boys of your age sing the modern jazz.” “Oh. I am taking music appreciation in school at Mondovi where we are taught to love classical music and operas.” explained Tommy. “How interesting!” exclaimed the man. “Young folks have more chance for music study in school now-adays than I ever had when I went to school. Let’s hear about your Music Department.” “I shall be glad to tell you about it,” answered Tommy, resolving to tell it in the best way he could. “For the first time in the history of our school, music is now on an equal basis with other subjects, in that it offers one full credit toward graduation for a year's work, as there is no subject studied in school that we use more in our daily lives than music. Each student now has the same opportunity to become acquainted with the world's greatest music as he has to familiarize himself with its greatest literature. “The vocal side of music education is cared for in outside activities. The operetta. “The Lady of the Ten-ace.” produced by over sixty students, was given December fifth. Public opinion seemed to consider it the best operetta given in the last four years. Instrumental music, too, is given a place in our school curriculum. Classes in string, wind, and brass instruments are conducted daily for students from the fifth grade through the High School. Last year a Junior orchestra of thirty-five members was developed through regular participation in these classes. These classes are being resumed this year for advanced work. New classes were organized for beginners. Mirror P ge 7J [Music Department—Continued] •The High School orchestra, consisting of over twenty members, practices every Monday evening. It furnished music for the operetta in December. “So now you understand, sir said Tommy in closing. why I love good music. ’ “An interesting story and well told.' said the man. as he handed the boy enough money for his fare home. “Some day I’m coming to visit your school, and the music class will be the first class I’ll visit.” Teachers Training Department While Bo-Peep was hunting for her lost sheep, she met an acquaintance who lived in a neighboring town. After greetings had been exchanged, the friends inquired what Bo-Peep was doing now. “Oh. I’m taking a teacher s training course, preparing to teach in a rural school next year. explained Bo-Peep. “But I thought you were staying at home now.” said her friend. •T am—staying at home and going to school. answered Bo-Peep. “You see. we have a Teachers’ Training Department in our High School.” “How interesting—do tell me more about it.” demanded her friend. Assuming her very best classroom “recitation manner. Bo-Peep proceeded with her account. “The Teachers’ Training work dates back to 1910. when M. W. T. Ream taught •Theory and Art of Teaching’. At that time there was no practice teaching nor was there a review of the elementary school subjects. “In 1912. Mr. P. F. Neverman taught ‘Theory and Art of Teaching’, and at this time introduced Practice Teaching together with the review of elementary school subjects. This work was continued by Mr. D. A. Swartz in 1914 and was under his supervision until 1916 when he was succeeded by Mr. Charles W. Dodge and his assistant. Miss E. C. Schuldt. who had charge of the department up to 1918. “Up to this time the department had been supervised by the principals, but in 1913 Miss Roberta Jones was employed as the first Training School teacher. In 1923. Miss Jones was succeeded by Miss Tess Hurley who remained at the head of the department until 1928. when Miss Irene Lemke took charge of it for one year. 1928-1929. At the present time, the department is under the guidance of Miss Ella Tiedke. “In former years, teachers training work was taken up together with High School work, but in the fall of 1927 the course was made a fifth year one. • This year’s class consists of filteen members, the largest class in the history of the department. The various members of the class are either fitting themselves to teach a rural school or preparing to enter a teacher’s college where they will continue the work begun in this department. “Besides giving the students a thorough knowledge of how to teach the ele- ______________________________________ The [Teachers Training Department—Continued} mentary school subjects, the department endeavors to have them put this knowledge into practice as soon as possible. In view of this fact, the first four weeks of the school term are spent in doing observation work in all of the grades and in doing practice teaching in the training department, the training school students acting as the pupils. Twenty-four weeks are spent in doing practice teaching in the grades, and one week is spent in rural school practice. The Agriculture Department Little Boy Blue was driving his fathers cattle across the road to the pasture. A tourist came along, and as he waited for the cows to pass, called out. Nice cows you have there. Son.” Little Boy Blue grinned appreciatively. “Quite a farmer, aren’t you? said the tourist. “Where did you learn so much about farming? “In the Mondovi High School, answered the boy. “We have a dandy Ag Department over there. Tell me about it. demanded the stranger, becoming interested. “All right, Boy Blue replied. I’ll tell you what has been going on during this year. “The number of students taking Agriculture is the largest in a number of years. Forty-three boys are enrolled in all. These are divided as follows: Freshmen, fourteen; Sophomores, twelve; Juniors, eight; Seniors, nine. The Department boys have all. with one or two exceptions. Joined the Future Farmers’ Club. This club sponsors all activities in which the department participates. The officers of our club for the first semester are: Robert Weiss, president; Durward Rosman. vice-president; Herman Linse. secretary and treasurer. Albert Berg and Oscar Sande attended the state convention of the club at Madison late in October. “The courses taken this year are: Animal Husbandry for the Freshmen, Plant Husbandry for the Sophomores, and Farm Management for the Juniors and Seniors. Last year the Freshmen and the Sophomores were in one class, but the large size of these classes made a double class desirable. “The leading outside activity of the Ag Department is livestock judging. This year’s livestock judging team composed of Albert Berg. Oscar Sande. and Arnold Amundsen, won the highest honors in the state. This gives Mondovi its third dairv cattle championship in five years; a record not equalled by any other school in the state. The victory means a trip to St. Louis to the National Dairy show next year. The fact that Mondovi High is to represent the state is a singular honor in itself, and one of which the boys are very proud. “It is planned this year to have our own basketball team. Games are scheduled with Durand and Gilmanton. Last year the Ag boys took Durand’s measure twice, only to fall the same way for Gilmanton in two bitterly fought struggles. Mirror P«|« 7« [The Agriculture Department—Continued} “Another high light of the year was Durward Rosman's winning second place on his Angus steer at the Junior Livestock Exposition at Madison, in competition with entries from the best herds in the state. Elmer Ede and Waldo Cook also had calves at the exposition. Durwood’s calf sold for $195. giving a profit of over $80. “So you see. Mister,” concluded Little Boy Blue, ”our Ag Department is right up and coming.” The Academic Course The one course in every high school which is seldom heard of. for it is rarely advertised, might be called the academic course. No secondary school can exist without it. It is often spoken of as a course which has no practical value, but nevertheless it remains as the most fundamental, useable, and basic course of the whole school curriculum. Who. for instance, would make the claim that ability to use the English language correctly and effectively was of no practical value? Yet English is one of the principal subjects offered in this most practical of all practical courses. Perhaps it would be well to enumerate the various subjects offered in the academic course and the amount of time allotted to each. They are as follows: A four year course in English: English and American literature, composition, grammar, and public speaking are included in this course. Three years of English are required for graduation. A four year course in science: This includes general science, biology, chemistry an dphysics. A year’s work is offered in each. Two years of science are required for graduation. A four year course in Latin: Latin grammar. Caesar. Cicero and Virgil constitute this course. Latin is offered as an elective. A four and one-half year course in history and social science: This includes citizenship, vocations, geography, ancient, medieval. and American history. In this course three years’ work are required. A three year course in mathematics: This course is made up of algebra and plane and solid geometry. Two years of mathematics are required for graduation. Several of the subjects listed above are required by the State Department of Public Instruction. Others are listed as entrance requirements by various colleges and universities. It may be of interest to know, that no student may enter any college or university of A rating, who does not present at least eleven credits selected from the academic course. Eleven academic credits have, therefore, been made one of the requirements for graduation from the Mondovi High School. Thus the academic course as offered is one of the most practical of all courses, since there is not a subject offered in the whole course that is not of very definite practical value in everyday life. It is the only course wherein will be found subjects that are required for admission into any great institution of learning. I Young HOP£:rULS'' jc. a,n flu dressed up 'Florence 'boots Inocent ?
