As we scratch them for a thought. In our many haunts of learning. If the teachers to you say, “What means ratiocination? I‘� e the hero of the day. Trust no pony, howe’er lazy! For you will be met half way. This is true though it no prophet. Xor the son of one does say. Lives of teachers all remind us That they once were in our place.

This is how the thing relates— Long ago in nineteen eight Gathered once a mission band; Their’s the work, to love not hate. And lalx r with a willing hand. With hearts and minds both willing ever, And faith and hope in spite of fate; We felt quite sure that great endeavor Would guide us through the Emerald State. That Emerald State, our first year out. Seems like a dream of ancient days; When we as Presides crept about Cramming on Rome of ancient days. The next year, ah. our mission, hard. And “suffer more,” we truly did. But we came out with (). K. cards. By doing as our teachers bid. A “Lit.” Society was formed. With us as valiant members true. And Tonka Bay was “auch” adorned With Sophs TO and white and blue. Then when we Juniors did become, A Junior ball did grace the year; The lads were speechless, aye, were dumb, Before the maids so sweet and dear. And then the last year hove in sight. The last year of our mission work. They called us “Senior bright,” quite right, For very few were known to shirk. Toward Fridley town, one night in rain We went to have a jolly time; A hayrack took us there and came Again in time to cart us “heim.” A kidlet party was in line. When we put dignity aside: And frolicked just as kiddies fine. Regardless now of tame and pride. Thus frolics cheered our four years work. While we with studies wrestled hard. And always test—we could not shirk— And teachers ever on the guard. On Monday morning in the hall We listened to much sage advice: The Scripture—“Take heed lest you fall. We heeded, you may sure surmise. But bv advice and with great care We lost but few from out our fold. Our record made all others stare: And far and near our fame was told. We do not boast, but tell the truth. Of what we’ve done by labor hard: We’re glad we worked, and fought and won Fame like an old-time bard. And thus we end our mission here. And thus—I must conclude my rhyme. And pray that you like us may leave. Your footprints “on the sands of time. Florence Moser.

The world owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. Hobbs for his successful diagnosis of a malady which has become very prevalent in the Xorth High district.—Senioritis. The following are the results of scientific investigation along this line: Students are subject to this complaint in September and January: those who have not had attacks of Freshmanitis, Sophomoritis, and Junioritis are immune from Senioritis,—in fact, this disease is the immediate after effect of Junioritis; Senioritis rarely ever attacks such a large percentage of the students as do the other diseases. The underlying cause for Senioritis—according to theory—is too close application to lessons during the student's first three years at the high school. I Iow-ever. there have been cases where students, without noticeable application, have incurred Senioritis; such cases baffled scientists until very recently when the disease was traced to its origin in bluffitis, spongitis and ponyitis. The symptoms of Senioritis arc numerous and unmistakable; in the past, students have invariably been attacked with exaggerated ideas of Ego, newly awakened class spirit, incoherent ravings about “we Seniors and low temperature at eight thirty in the morning, which gradually rises to above normal at one o'clock. The duration of the fever is ten months; hence it has been necessary that the students have very good care that the ravages of the malady may not leave them unequal to the world's work. Mr. Hobbs and his assistants have won marked distinction in successfully bringing students through this dangerous period. The treatment has been vigorous and systematic. Lectures in weekly doses and the proper amount of minuses have helped greatly in subduing raging fevers. In serious cases the parents are summoned to meet the faculty on the fir� t Wednesday of the month. Teachers who have charge of the students afflicted with Senioritis often contract myopea (short sightedness). Fortunately, however, this is conspicuous among Xorth High teachers by its absence. Serious as Senioritis is—especially to the student, graduates can readily testify that when the student leaves Xorth High he is completely cured. The best antidotes for Senioritis are the well defined principles of honesty, excellent scholarship, and the precept expressed in the golden rule. The eradication of Senioritis is completed by the judicious distribution of pieces of sheepskin. Mvkti.e Kacon. Fort if-Eleven Forly-clyh t Forty-nine (Lljc (Great ilftca i. It was in the morning of one of those delightful, spongy spring days that I first heard of the Great Idea. It was Monday and I had just finished calculating. by the law of chance, the probabilities of my finishing the day without a flunk and was sitting at mv desk rather discouraged with the outlook when Fred entered the room. Monday morning in the high school is never conducive to spontaneous greeting, and so I paid no attention to him until he came down my aisle and seated himself on my desk. I was just wondering,” I told him, “whether the governor would stand for my dunking in more than one subject this spring. This weather disagrees so confoundedly with my applicative powers, and I so long to roam the fields and pick buttercups, that I am likely to flunk in each and every study.” “You long to pick buttercups and in consequence will flunk.” he said. Then he sprung the Great Idea. Say,” he exclaimed, suppose you give me fifty cents.— Xo, thank you.” I said, I can use fifty cents in my business.” but he continued without noticing the interruption. Suppose you give me fifty cents now, and at the end of the term I'll agree to give you a dollar for everything you flunk in.” What kind of a joke is this, I exclaimed, want me to bite I suppose.” Xo joke. he said. ‘Tin talking business. You give me fifty cents now and in June I'll give you a dollar for everything they make you take over again. It was the funniest thing I ever heard on a Monday morning, and I laughed hard over it. In other words, you're borrowing money at 100 per cent, is that it ?' Xo, of course not.” lie began talking earnestly now, and I began to think he might be driving at something. Of course not. I am simply going to insure you against flunking, don't you see? Listen. Old Hamilton and I have been working on this for a week, and we've decided to let you in on it. We're going to organize an insurance company against flunking. And I am your first tenderfoot, is that it? I still thought it might be some complicated joke. Xo. Fred went on. you’re to be one of the company. We're to start in right away before the term is any older and insure everyone in the school. Why. man. there's heaps in it. and it won't cost a cent to start. Before we insure anyone though we'll look up their past records. If they have flunked on the average of once every three terms or so we’ll accept the risk for fifty cents. If the average is a flunk every other term, it will cost them seventy-five, and if they flunk everv term it will cost them a dollar ten. or something like that, and for everything they flunk in they get a dollar. It's a great idea. kid. and take it from me there's heaps in it. The idea did sound plausible, and after thinking it over for a day or so. I decided to cast my fortune with theirs in the founding of this new and unique insurance company. We did have a little trouble in choosing a name for it. as we didn't wish to be called a secret society, and have to begin going to the t . Prep, school ju t riftv when things were booming, but we finally decided to call ourselves the Unallied Phlunking Insurance Association, and under that name started business. II. The next few weeks were like a dream. The U. 1‘. I. A. did a tremendous business and money poured into our coffers in streams. Everyone in the school who had ever flunked or hoped to flunk came to us for insurance and we directors were in a happy state of mind. However, the time passed: two months went by. and the third month’s cards were distributed. Then the faculty began lecturing about the folly of allowing our studies to drop in the spring and for the first time in my life I found myself agreeing with them. For some reason, the marks were abnormally low, and I was frankly worried, for 1 saw our splendid profits slowly diminishing. As the weeks went on we directors became more and more troubled. Each evening we met and went over our list of policyholders and each evening we became more and more downcast. Finally there came a night when we found, by close figuring, that our profits had entirely melted away, and we were going in the hole. There was no help for it. and the crisis was as inevitable as fate. Hut one week remained before the fourth month’s marks went in. What could be done? Ham suggested going to Canada. Fred suggested telling them it was all a joke and 1 felt at such a loss 1 could suggest nothing at all. At last, after we had discussed and rejected almost every plan, the ever present female element entered into the situation. This morning.” Gladys told us. “we were given a lecture by our principal, which you should have heard. He said that never before in the history of the school had so many probable failures been reported and that, moreover, he was entirely at a loss to account for it. He said also that anyone who could successfully explain to him what the trouble appeared to be. and so clear up this most baffling mystery, would be most grateful, indeed.” Fred hugged his sister. We all saw a possible way out of the difficulty and things already looked brighter. It is true, we did not know in just what form our salvation might come, but we all felt it would come. Every student knows the rest of this tale. You all remember the astonishing speech the principal made the next Monday morning when he told you he had discovered the reason of the low marks, and you will all remember how surprised you were when he announced that all credits would be withheld until fall, when all flunkers would be given examinations. You all remember, too. those of you who were flunkers. how your parents advised you to study during the hot months, and you all remember, too, that very few dollars were paid out by the I'. P. I. A. at the end of the fifth month. Xow you know the inside history of the Great Idea, the inside story of the principal’s mysterious diversions, and the inside reason why Gladys had two devoted attendants all that summer.

Fifty-ttco (Liu1 lUaniU'rimis of Weary Willie (ants) I was hitting the ties at an enormous GATE, for the afternoon sun was hot. and the fond recollections of my last meal were failing to support my tender frame: 1 was hungry—hungry enough to eat an elephant. Just around a bend was a snug little town. I passed the golf LINK near Lake CAL(Ol’l))HOUX and went through the LOXGBRAKES and graceful REEDS by some gushing WELLS near A-DAM(S). 1 soon sighted a SHORTRIDGE, which it took but a few minutes to reach and climb. Before me stretched a slope of green, where a young SHEPHARD sat among his HL’RD, reading McCLl'RE’S Magazine. Ilis skin was fair, his hair 1� R() X. and a GREY cloak was thrown about his shoulders. He was absorbing something about the government of the Netherlands,'—a king (K0X1G), the House of BL’RGESS( ES) and the Burgomaster. “My intellect is staggering! said I. and asked for something easier. So he read to me a poem about The Beauties of Erin. As near as I can remember, it ran A MANX was LESS on the river LEE When the tide rolled out into the sea. We both thought this was so good that he asked me to go home with him and have a bite to eat. After ladylike hesitation. I said 1 didn't care if 1 did: so (H )OKF we went to the house. As we passed a turn in the STREET we saw a MANX |()S(t)LIX’ with a balky pony, which BROCK(a)WAY' into a run down the BLAZED(d)ALE with the MANX after it. In a short time we reached the house, which was surely a mossback. The V()()D ( )RK(d) was old-fashioned. In one corner of the room stood a LOOM( IS) of ancient date. While I was GAZIXG(K) at these things my attention was attracted to an old rickety table upon which lay a WEBSTER’S Dictionary: a Biography of the lives of Jefferson DAVIS and Stonewall JACKSON, and a book called Mil! on the F( )SS. After a good feed 1 continued on my weary hike with a happy feeling inside. On the outskirts of the town I saw some little kids tripping the M( )RRIS dance around a May pole. Nothing else seemed to be DO(ens)IXG: a comfortable haystack presenting itself, I adjusted my draperies and curled up to take a nap. Lkslik Cook.

The Editor— Before and After SUt f-Mix Jfricnbs Aiiaiit It was a bright day, in the middle of August. Two boys could be seen lounging in the town park of May hew. The summer having grown old had ceased to interest the boys in its different lines of sport. In fact the whole town seemed dead and lacking in spirit. The two boys were considering what they could do to pass away the time when a large, tall boy came in sight. He was carrying a paddle with him and walked as if he was in a great hurry. “Here comes ’Squint.’ ” said Harry, one of the boys. “Ask him about his cats,” said George, “and sec him get mad.” The boys of Mayhew, and especially these two, were always teasing “Squint” about his two little kittens. “Hello. ‘Squint,’ how is yourself and the cats today?” “Fine, but now stop your fooling. I want to make a pro| osition to you that I am sure you will approve of. It—” “None of that high down language here.” interrupted George. “Well, anyhow, as I was up the creek last night in my canoe, 1 saw two men with a lantern, digging in the rubbish heap just back of Hong’s old mill. Xow I think they were hiding something. “I betcha it was sumpin’ they stole, said Harry excitedly. “Xow. continued “Squint,” if you fellows want to go up and see what it was they were burying, you can: but if it is anything valuable you’ll have to ‘divvy up.’ ’’ Hut how can we get up there?” asked George. “And why dontchu go with us, yourself? You’re afraid, accused Harry. “Xo, not that, but you know that I work during the day, and if I wait until tonight the robbers will probably have returned. You can take my canoe, which is on a rack down near the creek. But be careful of it.” Sure. cried Harry as they romped across the park and down the road toward the creek. Ha. ha. this is the time I get even with those boys. Buried treasure, ho, ho: who would ever leave a treasure in such a place as that? These were the thoughts of “Squint. or Louis Mason, as he walked toward his house. In less time than it takes to tell it. the boys had reached the creek and started on their journey. Gee! but won’t we have lots of money if we find the treasure. said George, as he sat paddling as fast as he could. I am going to buy all sorts of things with my money.” replied Harry expectantly. At last they arrived at their destination, and soon found a place where the earth had been disturbed. They immediately secured some old tools they found in the mill and began work. “Whew. I'll bet I’ve been digging for twenty minutes and I haven’t struck anything yet,” ejaculated Harry, as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. SIxtit-Mrrrn “Aw. don't get cold feet. Haven't you ever read that treasure seekers never have luck right away? replied George reprovingly. “Maybe that—Oh. here it is. I’ve struck it. cried Harry, as he kneeled down and picked up a small tin box. Hurrah! let’s go right in the mill and open it up. Quickly they ran into the mill to see what treasure the had found. In short order they pried the cover off. Much to their amazement and chagrin the box contained nothing but angle-worms. The two boys stood looking at each other in silence. At last Harry said, Well, what do you think of that! and giving the box a vicious kick, sent it and its contents across the floor. “What's this. said George, as lie picked up a piece of cardboard that had dropped out of the box. Picking it up. the boys read the following: I am fishing for Suckers. Signed. Squint. Stung. gloomily mused Harry, and they both started in silence for the canoe. The trip home was uneventful, and bv no means as jolly as their first trip. The boys docked the canoe and immediately went to Squint’s home. Seeing him in the back yard. Harry cried out, Cute trick, wasn’t it? At this “Squint gave a hearty laugh and asked them to come around to the back yard for a minute. We’ll get even yet. the boys cried in unison as they reached the back yard. Don't you think we are even now? Haven’t you fellows been teasing me for a long time about my cats? Don’t you think we can stop bothering each other now. and act as friends? After thinking for a short time, George replied. I think we are square, and that we deserved all we got. 1 think so, too. seconded Harry, and besides it helped us to pass away the day. Doxall) YouxG.

Return from Fridley in a rainstorm. SYNOPSIS. Full of expectation for a pleasant evening, about sixty members of the June class of 1912, were assembled at the school. With the able assistance of the boys all succeeded in getting into the racks, with much squirming and squeezing. A long hilarious ride followed, and such screaming and yelling was never before, nor will ever again, he heard on that road. After two hours of riding, dim lights were perceived in the distance, which indicated that we were soon to arrive at our destination. The doors were llung open to this gav crowd and hearty greetings of welcome were given. The large brilliantly illuminated rooms were decorated in the class colors of green and white. Dancing and games furnished the amusement for the evening, and a Dutch lunch was served, two to one. Much to their dismay, their jollity was suddenly brought to a close by a thunderstorm. A long, dreary, wet ride followed and when home was reached, it was a tired though still happy crowd that bid each other adieu. Intermission : One month elapsed between Act I and II. ACT II.

Napoleon Newlywed startled the crowd. Numerous dolls, toy trains and marbles furnished infantile amusement for the crowd. Later Spin the Pan, Farmer in the Dell and Drop the Handkerchief were played. A special feature of the forfeits payed, was a solo by Mr. Williams and Marguerite Meister. Appropriate lunch was served at 11 :00. Intermission : ()nc month. Slj-tllllinr ACT III. Time: January. 1912. Place: North Side Commercial Club. SYNOPSIS. As Valentine day is not celebrated as a holiday in our schools, and yet being desirous of enjoying this day, about fifty members of our class attended the Valentine party given at the North Side Commercial Club. The decorations consisted of hearts and the class colors, green and white. A game of hearts and a mock wedding of Lester William Adonis Faetken-heuer to a blushing maiden were the most interesting events of the evening. ACT IV. l i me: February. 1912. Place: Home of Mabel Hill. SYNOPSIS. Miss Mabel Hill entertained the members of the class at her home. The games indulged in. as barber shop, eye guessing game, and progressive proposals, turned many a sworn and confirmed bachelor into a bigamist. Refreshments were served throughout the evening and all left satisfied with having had one of the best parties of our calendar. ACT Y. Time: March. 1912. Place: Durham’s Hall. SYNOPSIS. About forty Seniors attended the dancing party given by Donald Young at Durham's hall. Although the evening was a warm one. everyone present spent a pleasant evening. The class colors of green and white again furnished the principal decorations. Seventy Jjunior Ball The Junior I Jail in honor of the classes of 1912, was held on December 2{K 1911, at the Masonic Temple. For a month or more the committees were busy planning every detail and the ball was a success socially and financially. The Christmas colors predominated in the decorations, and southern smilax and miniature fir trees formed a screen for the orchestra, across which hung the large X. 11. S. banner. The grand march was led bv Mr. and Mrs. Hobbs, ami the program consisted of eighteen dances. The Misses Fern Taylor and Flizabeth Haynes, and Messrs. Murle Stack and Leo Hirshfield distributed the programs. An orchestra of eight pieces furnished the music for the evening. The patronesses were the Mrs. Jordan. Hobbs, dates. Nelson, dale. oegeli.

Srri nty-onc (German American Sank Prise I'lie German American Hank Prize was first offered to the class graduating in the year 1907. The winners to date are: Clarence R. Chaney, June, 1C)07; Edythe L. MacMichael. January, 1908; Samuel J. Broudc. January, 1909: Leslie F. Parker, June, 1910: Isabel H. Hoyce, June. 1911, and (ierald M. Malmo, June, 1912. This prize was founded on account of the interest taken in the North High School by the late Robert Pratt, for many years a member of the Hoard of Education and a director in the German-American Hank, and was also most heartily favored by Mr. Francis A. Gross, president of the bank, as well as by all the bank directors. 1'he idea of this prize, as shown by the following rules, is to stimulate high character and all those attributes most conducive to noble citizenship. The following are the rules which govern this prize: 1. One candidate for this prize, for each fifteen or major fraction of that number, shall be nominated bv the Senior class each year. 2. From the nominations made by the class the faculty of the North High School shall name one as the prize winner. 2. The class and faculty shall make their choice on the general basis of honor as indicated by the following suggestions: . Faithful and prompt attendance. b. Deportment. r. (icneral spirit of helpfulness and co-operation regarding the best interests of tbe school. . Evidence of noble manly or wonianh traits. c. Scholarship equal to or above the average scholarship of the class. 4. The prize to be a gold watch valued at $60.00. 5. The prize to be presented on the occasion of the June Commencement. The rules indicate that this prize is a sort of Phi Heta Kappa Prize, adapted to High School life, and without some of the faults attributed to the college prize of that name. W hat honor in school life is more to be desired than the record of faithful work, the good opinion of one's classmates and the approval of all the teachers? 1 f all winners in the future live up to the same high ideals as those of the past, then will the founders of this prize and all citizens most heartily rejoice. In this day since the ideal keynote of the hour is noble service for those about us. this prize should be an incentive to an ever increasing number. While it is true that only one can receive the actual prize as stated in the rules, all who strive can get a prize that no one can take away: namely, the knowledge of an honest effort, self approval and the honorable mention of all who mav come in touch with their lives. V. Y. Hoims. Si rr ii I If -tiro Senior Bazaar April 19. 1912. By the time this annual appears before the public, the bazaar will have been an event of the past, but yet we hope that it will not be easily forgotten by the members of the class or those who will attend. Heretofore the Seniors have been able to produce class plays for the purpose of procuring money for a memorial, but as class plays arc now prohibited, we were obliged to seek other means of raising funds. As this is the first bazaar that has ever been given bv any class of the North High School, we anticipate, ironi indication, that it will be a success. During the first part of the evening an entertainment will be given in the school auditorium, consisting of selections by the girls and boys’ glee clubs and the orchestra ; to be followed by a musical dialogue, a pleasing athletic drill by twenty of the Senior girls, and a clever little playlet. At the close of the program, prettily decorated booths will be found scattered throughout the upper and lower halls, where school pillows, pennants, aprons ami (lusting caps will be sold: candy, ice cream and lemonade will be served, while those in the nigger-baby booths, fish ponds and fortune telling tents expect to do a flourishing business. We wish to thank the Misses Adams. P. rock way. Duensing and Konig. and Messrs. Crawford. Davis. Hurd. Shephard and Williams, together with various committees, who so kindly devoted their time and efforts toward making the bazaar a success.

Several organizations are maintained and kept in practice through the diligent efforts of some of our teachers. The editor of this department here hegs to take occasion, in behalf of all the students of the North High, who are musically inclined and interested, to express his sincerest gratitude to all the members of the faculty who devote so much time and energy towards the promotion of North High musical welfare. At least one of the bodies previously mentioned takes part in almost every program held in the school auditorium. Individuals, also, who are talented somewhat above the common roll of humanity, occasionally take solo parts in the program. Once a year, all of these take part in what is known as our “Annual Concert. Of the three which have already taken place, each has been accredited with great success, thus serving the double purpose of instigating a deeper interest along musical lines in the minds and hearts of the students, and at the same time of spreading the reputation of our school as a patron of this most noble and inspiring of all the arts. Sen nlii ttis (Lhc portly Utiiih Jffaculty Jflalc (Quartette The most recently organized musical body of the school, and the one which is by far the most accomplished of all our clubs, is the Faculty Male Quartet. It was formed not a year ago, and has been heard thus far only three or four times, but in these few performances it has given evidence of an excellency which is very seldom attained by similar bodies. The chief feature of its singing, aside from the splendid quality of the individual voices, is the remarkably even balancing of the parts, and the fine shading and contrast in reading the score. Kvery chord which is sung is the product of equal effort on the part of each person, and since the individual tones, of course, are true, and the voices clear, the sounds blend with each other completely, so as to produce one uniform mellow harmony. All the members, it happens, either are at present, or have been until recently, directors of some of the student musical clubs, and were properly mentioned in connection with their respective organizations. Mr. Roy T. Tenney is first tenor: Mr. Archie H. Hurd, second tenor; Mr. Winworth Williams, first bass; Mr. Perley A. Davis, second bass. It now only remains to express a sincere and earnest wish that this mav be but the introduction to a long and beneficial existence of the Xorth High Faculty Male Quartet. Sr rr nt ! • ■ cm Scrcntii-riijht CLlu' (Orchestra Every program under North High auspices contains at least one number by the orchestra. The enthusiasm displayed in its support has at all times proved encouraging. Of late, several additions to the string section have been made, which have attended to produce a greater volume of tone and which have assisted in balancing the parts more evenly. Mr. Hurd, as director, has done credit to the organization and to the school by his capable and persistent efforts. The large number of promising candidates, together with an increased interest in the orchestra on the part of the Freshman class, prophesies a successful future. The members are: Henry l‘ alk.

(Llic (Chorus Aside from the Bovs and Girls Glee Clubs, there is yet another vocal organization in which the school takes just pride—the chorus. It consists of some members of the two glee clubs and other students who do not belong to them. Cnder the able leadership of Mr. fenny, the chorus has been trained to a high degree of efficiency, and has accordingly played important parts in the programs of our annual entertainments. It has always made a point of singing only choral works of recognized merit and invariably scores a great success at its annual appearance. Seventy-nine (6irls’ ©Ice (Club The Girls’ Glee Club of North High holds an important position among the musical organizations of the school. This is due in large measure to the excellency of its direction under Mr. Shephard. The membership is now limited to twenty-four, and there is a waiting list of considerable proportions. The club takes active part in commencement programs and in the annual concerts; and in recognition of its ability, has received several invitations to sing at entertainments. Joseph ink Byrnes.

Ehjhtufour Eilfhti ’flve THIS LITERARY SOCIETY A (Coast to the Debaters Delivered Before Literary Society’s Annual Banquet. December. 1911. This is an age of organization. We find the spirit active in every part of life. Capital organizes, labor organizes, and the tendency has even crept into our school and we find the organization of school activity. I may here mention only a few of the organizations of North High. We have our football team, hockey team, and yes, we have been told that the tendency has crept into our faculty and we find the teachers of our institutions organized into teams or so-called committees; discipline committee, lunch committee, program committee, and various others too numerous to mention. But it is not my province to sing the praise of the faculty teams to say nothing of the aforesaid student teams. The crippled football and hockey heroes have received their soothing balm in the form ol trophies, sweaters, the cheers of the masculine force, the smiles and the pitying glances of the feminine force. We would not detract from them any duly won honor, but it is my privilege to sing the praises of another organization. An organization to cultivate their heads and not their heels. One whose victories are not won with kicks or blows, but with eloquence and oratory; the debating team of North High. The first member of the team I will mention is one, who when his ponderous step resounds over the platform and his bass voice breaks the stillness, the opponents tremble. What he does not measure up in size he measures up in quality and reminds us of the trite saying. “That very precious things come done up in small packages. But his size will not long stand in his way for we hear he has taken the swelling, not due to the victory won in the last debate, but unfortunately to the drop in the mercury which has caused the swelling of his nose. But we hope lie will get bravely over this as he has over other defeats and that reminds me of a story. One day when Sam was a small boy he had a very stingy uncle who said to him. ‘Samuel, what would you do if I gave you a penny for Christmas? and Sam answered. “1 think I will feel kind of faint at first, but I would soon get over it. We still see this characteristic in Sam when such decisions are given as were in the North vs. Hast debate. Sam felt kind of faint at first but he soon got over it. Speaking of the debating team, and at the mere mention of Sam (iale, there is brought to our minds another name. Those who have watched his light, airy steps. Hitting through the halls have felt the pride swell within us, and could hardly believe that it was his deep thundering voice that rolled through the hall December 12. like Demosthenes thundering to the Greeks, and wondered if he. like that great hero, had not been practicing with pebbles in his mouth at the seashore. But this is not the only resemblance which connects him with the classical paths. Those of us who have admired his glossy black locks have more than once been reminded of the Greek Apollo, and it has even been suggested that when the sale of tickets for the next debate opens, our hero be shorn of some of his locks to be presented as an inducement to each fair lady purchaser and as a later reminder of Henry Hartig, of the curly locks. But by no means have we exhausted the line of our mighty warriors. Last, but by no means least, one who counts in his line of ancestors a race of famous orators. His polished language and oratory is only outdone by the polish of his glasses and well kept boots. When his light, fantastic step prattles over the platform the opponets know something is coming. It may be said that Sam likes to argue, and Henry dotes on oratory, but Wendell just loves to talk. Yes. there have been times when he has preferred it to sleeping, eating and even gold; and that reminds me of another story that will prove the truth of my saying. One day Wendell’s father was holding a meeting of the bishops, and Wendell’s mother, knowing his fondness for talking, gave him a nickel on condition that he would keep quiet. All went well until the bishops were deep in the doctrine of the church, and Wendell, unable to keep quiet any longer, went up to the table and putting the nickel down said. Say, you can have the nickel. 1 would rather talk.” Perhaps you all knew the brilliancy and wit of our debating team before I l egan this toast, and knew that it is only the judges who sleep, that vote against them. We all sincerely hope that the championship of the Minneapolis High Schools will be won by the North High, but if it is not, we all know in what manner the defeat will be taken. Cakkik Johnson.

At the beginning of this semester, when the elections were held, the boys of the Literary Society were desirous of forming a boy’s department. They wished to study special debate work and have more opportunity for open discussion. The girls were willing for they wanted a club of their own. They felt as did the New England woman, who. when asked about equal suffrage, said. If there is anything the men can do alone, for pity's sake let ’em do it!” So now we have the Boys’ Wing and the Girls’ League—meeting under the auspices of the general Literary Society. The purpose of the Girls’ League is to discuss live topics and matters of special interest to young women. Their officers are: Carrie Johnson, chairman; Linnette Earenfight. secretary; Mildred Swart wood, sergeant-at-arms; and chairman of the program committee. Mabeth Sterrit. The members of the Boys’ Wing have high ambitions. They are studying debate and doing considerable in the way of extemporaneous speech making. The officers of this division are: Harold Rogers, chairman; Virgil Schwartz, secre- tary; W endell Burns, chairman of the membership committee, and Leo Hirsch-field. chairman of the program committee. We hope this new arrangement will afford larger opportunities for members to appear on the programs and add interest to the work of the Literary Society. Dorothy M. Smith.

It is an organization composed of the faculty and student body whose purpose it is to furnish wholesome luncheons to its members at the lowest possible cost. It is co-operative to the minutest detail. The management of this association is in the hands of a faculty committee, ably assisted by committees of students, all of whom offer their services gratis. The supplies for this institution are all purchased from North Side business men and the money is handled by a North Side Bank. THE ROYAL HOUSEHOLD. TIIK KITCHEN CAM NET. Hermine R. Konig Mary E.

Hobbs XlH rift Mncty-onc jockey The 1911-1912 hockey team was not organized until the season was well advanced. With Swartwood. Grant and Johnson back, and much new material, the outlook seemed bright. The main fault of the season's play was the lack of team-work, although individual work on the part of several men kept up North's end. In spite of the fact that the team lost the majority of its games, the men always put up a good exhibition. The defensive work of Grant, and the goal shooting of Berry and Swartwood were the features of the season's play. North and Hast finished in a tie for third place. Central winning first and West second place. The games always attracted good crowds, and the interest of the school in hockey is keeping up to its high standard. Sinctt tiCH JFootbciU The 1911 Football Team, under Halloran as captain, and Engel a manager, started the season under the new coach, E. R. Jackson of Lawrence University. Although team and coach were new to each other, and although North had more than the usual number of injuries and ineligible men, she finished in third place in the race. North 5, Alumni 0—Sept. 29. After two weeks’ practice, the team lined up against the alumni, on North Commons, Sept. 29. Such men as Kurke, Leighton. Lee, Turner, Knaeble and Hamilton played with the alumni. The game was played on a wet, muddy field. After a scoreless half. Strauch, on an end run. made the only score of the game. Grant failed at goal. Hamilton's punting, for the alumni, and the offensive work of Halloran, for North, were the features of the game. North 0. Hamline 0—Oct. 6. The next game was with Hamline at Shaw Field, St. Paul. To the surprise of the few North supporters present, the blue and white held the heavy collegians scoreless for two fifteen minute quarters, and barely missed scoring herself by the air route. Then, for two hours, the teams struggled up and down the field on even turns, both coaches often sending in new men. The showing in this game greatly encouraged the North High coaches. North 11, East 0—Oct. 13. The first high school game was played with East a week later. North outweighed the East Siders and weight and endurance told in the end. The first half was North's by a small margin, the score at the end being North 3. East 0. In the third quarter. Grant kicked a second field goal, one from the thirty-eight yard line, the ball going squarely between the uprights. In this quarter and in the following one. the line-bucking of Halloran and Grant slowly wore down the East line. Then, in the last quarter, a pass, Kistler to Halloran. and three line plays by Grant, took the ball over for a touchdown. Grant failed at goal. Grant was easily the star player, as he scored all the points of the day. The line play of Biber and Ehrenburg. and Halloran and Kistler’s work in the back field were also features. North 8, Ccntrol 0—Oct. 27. In the Central game. North played her best football of the season. 'Hie plays were smoothly executed, punts well handled, and the team worked better than they had previously done. In the first quarter. Central was literally carried off her feet. She fumbled at critical times, and blunders proved to be her downfall. as it was on a fumble of Central's that Strauch sprinted seventy-five yards Xinrty-three for a touchdown. Grant also kicked goal. In the second and third quarters, Central’s work improved, and the result was in doubt until shortly before the end of the game when Hanks tackled Rugg of Central behind Central’s goal line for safety, bringing North’s total up to eight. It is difficult to name the individual stars for North as every man showed up well. (irant’s forward passing, Strauch's punting and Halloran’s returning of punts and line plunging were the bright points of the backfield work. (iranning and Clarity, tackles, both put up good games, and Hanks also figured in “around tackle” plays. Hiber, center, further starred for North, by completely outplaying his opponent, first in passing accurately and in helping the two guards, both new men. North 0, South 6—Nov. 10. The game with South High settled the 1011 championship as each team was so far unbeaten. In spite of a crippled line-up North was the favorite because of her showing against Central. South scored in the first quarter on a drop-kick by Low. These three points seined to weaken North’s fighting spirit. This fact became more evident when Halloran was forced to retire because of broken ribs and Hiber with an injured knee. This required changes in North’s line-up. The half ended with a score. South 3. North 0. In the second half North fought harder, but South scored again on a drop kick, bringing the total up to six. The game ended with North threatening South’s goal. Of the North team, (iranning and Clarity starred in the line, and in the backfield Halloran's line rushes and Strauch's end running were the features. North 0. West 22—Nov. 18. On Nov. 18 North and West met to decide second place honors. With Hiber and Kistler out of the game, and Halloran and (iranning forced to leave through injuries received shortly after the game started. North’s chance of winning was small. West scored several times in the first quarter, securing thirteen points from two touchdowns by Feeley and a field goal by Walker. North’s line now contained three new men and W est’s heavy tackfield wore it down. At the end of the half the score stood West 19, North 0. In the second half the game was fought on more even terms. West also being now weakened by substitutes. The only score of the period came shortly before the close of the game, when Feeley kicked a field goal. After several exchanges of punts the game ended. West 22, North 0. Ehrenburg’s offensive work in the backfield and Clarity’s defensive work in the line, are worthy of mention. Xincty-four K hut ; ■ five (track aitii Jfidk Sports On January 17, the track squad, under Coach Tenney and Manager Meyer, began indoor training at the Unity Gymnasium. As a result of this early training. good meets resulted later. The Interclass Meet, although somewhat onesided. Hamilton. Strauch and Genies winning nearly all the points, brought out much rivalry between the classes. The Seniors won first place. Sophomores second and the Juniors third place. In the later spring meets, viz., the Northwestern at Faribault, and the Invitation Meet at Northrop Field, North showed up well among the High and Preparatory Schools of the Northwest. The Minneapolis High School Meet, in June, was also held at Northrop Field. Points were very closely contested in this meet, and places were in doubt until after the last event, the relay race. West High won the meet, and North High, by the margin of J4 of a point, secured by taking second place in the relay, was second. Hamilton’s work in the hurdles, in which he broke the state high school record, Strauch’s work in the dashes, and Gerdes in the pole vault, won the most points for North. Xiuctu is Xiiicti neci n Prospectus For the coming year. North’s prospects are unusually bright in all branches of sport. In track. Coach Jackson, assisted by Messrs. W illiams and Tenney, already has a large squad at work, and has held several successful indoor meets which have revealed the presence of much good material. St. Paul Central was overwhelmed at Mainline gymnasium by a score of seventy-two to twenty-six. At a quadrangular meet at Kenwood Armory, between St. Paul Central. St. Paul Mechanic Arts, Minneapolis Central, and Minneapolis North, we also won by a comfortable margin. After the fourth event the result was evident as North won from three to eight points in each succeeding event. In this meet Mechanic Arts won five points. St. Paul Central twenty-three. Minneapolis Central thirty-three, and North forty-four. In each of these meets large crowds have gone from the North Side and the interest of the school in track work, which has so long been dead, seems at last to have been awakened. For this Coach Jackson is very largely responsible, and it is very probable that North's 1912 track team will receive the needed support which former teams have lacked. In football, under Captain Cranning, and with eight of the regulars back, and the able manager. Swart wood, probably no school in the city has better chances for the championship. Coaches Jackson and Leslie will be better known by the men, in the future, and this fact should enable the team to get an earlier start than in 1911. Basketball, a new venture at North High, should, with the building of the new gymnasium, secure a place in North High athletics. Class teams held a spirited tournament at Unity Gymnasium during the winter and North could have placed a strong team in the field were basketball an interscholastic sport. From the rivalry and the interest displayed this year, it is evident that when it once becomes possible for the city high schools to have basketball teams, that North High will add one more laurel to her good record in athletics. Although the results in hockey were not as gratifying last year as formerly, this was largely the fault of not having a rink on which to practice until late in the winter. There is much good hockey material in the school, as was shown last winter: however, with six of last year's team back, hockey will add credit to the other branches of athletics, next year. North High baseball teams have, almost without exception, won first or second place among the city high schools. Last year, although North started out with a large squad, and won the early season's games, for several reasons it was considered best to disband the team in mid-season, and therefore no account of its games appears in these columns. For 1912 Donald Young has been elected manager, and supporters of baseball hope for better things. W ith McLaughlin and Grant t« do the pitching. Landy back at third base. Lovely and Meshbesher in the outfield, and a host of new men. North will have an excellent chance to win first place among the city high schools. A invtu-clyht iuclfl llillt jfrnm an 'Alumnus' Point of birtu As the modest editorial hoard will probably not mention the hard work which was necessary before this year-book might be sent to press, 1 think it is my duty to inform those who will read the book and derive pleasure from it. as to the efforts put forth by the small force of patriotic students who brought forth thi work that represents their class. A favorite method used by scientists in imparting information is by comparisons, and by leave I shall use the said plan; by this I do not mean to advance any pretensions to the dignity of a scientist. 'I o begin with the promised comparisons, it may interest you to know that the board gathered together for work (more or less) as many times as there are weeks in four or five months; one member and may be more, who never permitted a single day to pass “whose low descending sun” did not see some more work done toward bringing nearer the “going to press” day; the number of tablets used up would make a prize-fighter a confirmed invalid: the length of the lead pencils sharpened to nothing would reach half way to St. Paul: the shoe leather worn out in walking to meetings would undoubtedly cover all of the Annuals; the nickels spent for carfare would have been more than enough to finance a South American revolution: the ice cream and candy used as refreshments to give strength to tired minds and bodies, would have stocked a confectionery store; and last, but by no means least, the amount of sleep lost, collectively, would have enabled Rip Van W inkle to have slept several years longer. The business end of this class dictionary furnished experience of no mean value as it entitled the consideration of bids ranging from three to five hundred dollars. This account. 1 am sure, will induce the reader to put more value on the book than he otherwise wouid have done. ()n the other hand, when it comes to the value of the book to the class as a whole, it will serve as the onlv connecting link which makes the four years spent in North High more than a pleasant dream. Those who continue their education in higher fields of knowledge will probably have other interests that will cause (hir humU'cil them to forget, to a greater or less degree, this class book and what it means. But to those whose school education ends with Commencement, and it is a sad truth that they will be in the majority, this book should be more dear than any other recollection of the past four years, except perhaps, an attachment formed between two classmates of opposite sexes, of which. I understand, there are quite a few. To every member of your large class and especially to the last mentioned, should this book be a source of perpetual enjoyment. It will bring back the lasting remembrances that associate themselves with athletic events, social gatherings, and literary and scholastic achievements; the acquaintances that ought “never to be forgot. In many cases the realization will be forced upon you that the most pleasant and agreeable period of your whole life were the four years during which you attended North High as a member of the class of June. ’12.
