Twenty new members were initiated and each one professed it to be the best one tha-t they had ever taken part in. The annual Christmas tree also proved to be a big success. The crowning event of the season, however, is to be a banquet, in which both Pi Tau Beta and Beta Sigma Kappa have united, and which is to be given in the near future. The plan of the society to meet as the state legislature, has proven to be a great success, both entertainingly and educationally. All in all the society has prospered and has lived up to the high standards established by its predecessors.

In 1920 the organization was founded by several boys, most of whom were Juniors. After a term of two years, which ended last semester, they had all graduated. As a result, this semester the club began with only fifteen active members. However, due to the strenuous efforts of the officers and committees in securing interesting and instructive programs, the membership has been increased to over forty. During the past semester, the lectures were given by Mr. .l. Buckstaff, on Astronomyg Mr. Shambeau, on Wirelessg Mrs. E. F. Bickle, on Hobbies and Habits, besides many others. To all, we express our sincere thanks.

Secretary-Treasurer HE Glee Club of 1922 has been conducted in enrollment, as in other years, allowing an unlimited membership as long as they could qualify-until it has now become so large, having a membership of 175, that it is really a chorus. However, this club has done splendid work under the direction of Miss Agnew. Plans are now being made to have chorus work in assembly and those who best qualify will be selected, as members of a glee club, the club having an enrollment of not less than sixteen or more than thirty-two. There are to be two clubs-a senior and a junior. The work has consisted of practising and preparing for concerts, working especially for correct tone quality, artistic phrasing, and interpretation, and along these lines the club has made excellent progress. The concert for the first semester of the year was scheduled to be given at the Open House January 19, but owing to the Class Play and examinations, it was thought best to postpone it until about the first of February, at which time the girls who graduate will assist. This con- cert will consist of miscellaneous selections, and close with the cantata Legend of Bregenz, by Wilfred Bendall. The solos will be taken by members of the club and the High School Orchester, under the direction of Mr. Kluck.

It was suggested at a previous meeting that the girls have something, such as a pin, by which to remember the club. So it was decided that pins of a triangular shape and hearing the insignia of the organization were to be the emblems used. The pins have arrived and it is expected they will be distributed to the members this week.

The meeting was called to order by its President Marion 0'Neal. The Secretary called the roll and gave the minutes of the last meeting. Business was then discussed and it was linally decided to have a candy sale at the next Index dance. A very fine program followed. The play Mme. Dupont et Yvonne was presented by Caroline Pansie and Yvonne Kret. They gave their parts very well. Mercedes Waters then sang a French song. This was followed by a reading on France. The meeting was closed by singing the Marseillaise. Games and dancing followed. The candy sale which was held at the Index Dance, December fifteenth, was a decided success. Everything was sold long before the afternoon was over. The French Club wishes everybody, Une Bonne et'une Heureuse Annes.

At present rehearsals are held every Wednesday morning but, as the season advances, it may be necessary to have two or more practices a week. The attitude of the boys toward the Glee Club work is very commendable, giving every indication that they are going to make this a successful year. If this spirit continues, it may be that the boys will be able to go on a Glee Club tour.

Reporter HROUGHOUT the past semester the Mat and Mitt Club has been holding meetings once a week, of late they have met twice a week. At these meetings the members have been instructed in the art of wrestling. Many members have become proficient in this sportg and all have profited by the experience. Much of the success of the club is due to the work of Mr. Barnes, the faculty adviser, and of Mr. Van Wurden, the coach, who has been at hand regularly to instruct the wrestlers. His work and that of Mr. Barnes has been very much appreciated by the members of the club.

Original stories and poems, music, and plays have formed an important part of the program. At one of our meetings, Rev. E. H. Smith gave an exceedingly enjoyable and instructive talk on India. This was enjoyed very much by everyone present. Miss Margaret Shreiner, our new adviser, has furthered the plans of the club with new ideas and helped in carrying them out. The following persons were admitted into -the society.: Majel Boynton, Lillian Callin, Ralph Bickel, Janet Branham, John Rogers, Elizabeth Musial, Anne Rockwell, Gladys lhde, Helen Doyle, and Bemice Meyer. An interesting play, The Pot Boilers, was well given. The following persons took part: Gaylord Krumrieh ......... the father Willard Meyer . . the villain Harry Meyer . . the playwright Ralph Bickel . . the would be playwright Lillian Callin . . the vamp h Majel Boynton .......... the heroine The club very much regrets the loss of Willard Meyer who graduates this semester. Orchestra EGINNING with the fall semester of 1922 an orchestra was organized under the direc- tion of Mr. Kluck, musical director of the High School. This orchestra consisting of twenty-five members has made very excellent progress. They meet regularly twice a week for practice. Besides the work at school, they have played at the Presbyterian Church, The Guild Hall, Chamber of Commerce, and the Northeastern Teachers Convention held at the Opera House. Much credit is given the director, Mr. Kluck, for the success of this organization. Civics Club t N organization of the senior Civics students in the Oshkosh High School was begun in the early part of this semester under the direction of Miss Knight and Mr. Greenough. Two weeks were given for the formation of political parties and for campaigning. The election was held on Thursday, November 2nd. The preferential ballot was used and the following oilicers were elected: Wells Harrington . . . President George H. Cameron . . Vice-President Ray Ellis .... . Secretary Oswald Witte . . . . ...... Treasurer The first meeting was held in the Little Gym, November 15th, during the general period. Mr. Greenough gave a very interesting talk on Citizenship and suggested some civics problems in the school, on which the Organization might work. Committees were appointed to draw up a Constitution and to institute a plan upon which the club might begin work. Two more meetings were held at which the Organization discussed the report of the Comlnittees. The Constitution has been adopted and all plans made for a grand success in bettering citizenship in the Oshkosh High School.

J. ABRAHAMSON During the four years that Abe has been with us, Oshkosh High has established a remarkable record in athletics. Under his guidance several championship teams have been produced, such -as the unde- feated eleven of 19215 the majority of our basketball, and all of our football contests with Fond du Lac have been wong and the school has emerged victorious from seventy-seven per cent of the inter- scholastic games played. It is a record to be proud of and shows what the coach might have done with this years' team if not handi- capped by a lack of experienced material. CAPTAIN RAYMOND NOVOTNY Fullback Ray was the hardest-working and most dependable man on the team. He backed up the line well on defense, and, on the offense, his end runs always featured the game. He was one of the most popular captains and one of the best players that this school has ever pro- duced. This was his third and last season of interscholastic football and he is sure -to be greatly missed next year. With his graduation in June, Ray will close a brilliant career, not only in athletics but also in scholarship, for he has maintained one of the highest averages in a class of over one hundred and fifty, one of the largest classes that has ever been graduated from Oshkosh High School.

On defense he invariably forced the runner in to the center, very few gains being made around his end f th line His passing was accurate and swift, while his ability to 0 - e . . catch them out of the air was instrumental in securing several touch downs. His punting helped to keep the ball in the opponenfs ter- ritory. HOBART ADAMS Quarterback Holme handled the team well, selecting plays with good judg- ment and headwork. He could gain around end and off tackle, while his running back of punts was especially good. His tackling was firm and sure and he permitted very few to get past him. This was his third year of football. He graduates in January. GLEN HEYWOOD Halfback Glenn played a good game at halfback. He was a ground-gainer around end, tackled well, and was a good man at the receiving end of a pass. This was his first year on the team and he will be back next season.

He was always well down under punts and rarely gave the receiver time to get started. On the offense he gave inter- ference well and caught passes consistently. This was also his first year as a regular and he will be back next season. CURRY BANDEROB End Curry, although the lightest man on the team, played a fine game. During the last part of the season he was unable to play because of an injured arm but made up for lost time when in the game. He caught passes well and helped in the interference while his quick- ness stood him in good stead in breaking up plays. He will be back next year. HAROLD GOHSMAN End Goosey played a consistent game. He showed up especially well on defense at breaking up the opposing interference. He could catch passes and was down well under punts. His strong point was his ability to block and he was a hard man to get past. This was his first and last year of football. He graduates in June. Page 58 January T H llllllll GEORGE CAMERON Halfback Although rather light '4Jub was fast on off-'tackle plays and end runs. His running from trick plays was also good but it was on defense that he showed marked ability, his tackling being of the best, while he backed up the line well. This was his first and last year with the first team as he graduates in June. CARL IVES Halfback IlllllIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllIIIIIlllllllllIlllllllllllllllIIIlllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIllIlllllllllllIlllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIII As a half back Cully left nothing to be desired. He was hard to stop in the open field and, with a little more experience, would have made a line plunger second to none. He was a hard tackler and always took the runner 05 his feet and also broke up forward pass attacks. This was Cully's only year of football. KURT KASPER Guard During the season Kurt changed off at guard and center, playing equally well in either position. At the latter position his passing was accurate, and in either he did his share in stopping all plays through the center of the line. Kurt has never found an opponent too big to handle, and he will be missed next year.

NORMAN TAYLOR Tackle Perry was one of the most valuable linemen being adept at breaking through and stopping plays before they were started. He ' ' Y 'h'l Ie laved aggressively and well, always belng ln the play, w le 1 P . - worked smoothly in the tackle shift and helped to open holes. This was his first year of football and he should be watched next year. RICHARD HANSEN Tackle Divk', played hard and did very well in the line, being equally 'd good on offense or on defense, generally stopping plays on his Sl e of the line and in turn opening a hole for the hackfield.

It was on defense, however, that he was especially strong, generally completely wreck- ing the opposing line and tackling the runner behind it.

It is the second team that, although outweighed, daily furnishes a stubbom opposition that enables the first team to polish its offense, and a varied attack that forces the first to present a strong defense. As an appreciation of their work, the school will award each member of the second team an O A A or M0 Athletic Award. The pivot position on this second eleven was well handled by Captain Geary. He almost always broke through the first team line, going either over or under as the case demanded. On offense his short passing was very accurate. Gronoski, Schultz, Mueller, and Zentner, who alternated at the guard positionsg all proved -their worth and will undoubtedly help to bolster up the first team next year. The tackles played by Waite, Chase, and Clark, proved to be a continual menace to the first tean1's tackle shift attack. Henry Brown was the only regular end on the second teamg the other position being filled by a first team man. His tackling was consistent throughout the season. Rufus Brown played quarter-back. He called signals well and his handling of the ball was fast and sure. He will be back next season. The half-back positions were filled by Johnson, McMillen, and Pittlekow. Johnson who played on the first team until he injured his hand, is practically assured of a half-back berth next year. All of these men were especially good at breaking up the first ariel game. Pittlekow will also be back next year. Harvey Barsch held down the fullback position. On defense he backed up the line exceptionally well. He, also, will be back next year.

Oshkosh vs. Depere fcancelledl. October 7. Oshkosh 183 Mayville 6. This game, played at Oshkosh, was the first of the season for the local team. The Oshkosh victory was due to the excellent brand of football displayed by the backfield. October 14. Oshkosh 7g West Green Bay 14. The Green Bay game was the first out of town game of the season. It was marked by the open style of play employed by both teams, Green Bay's victory being due to their superiorty in this method of attack. October 21. Oshkosh 03 Marinette 59. Marinette more than squared accounts for the defeat administered to them by the Blue and White last season, when 'they trimmed Oshkosh eleven at Marinette this year. The Oshkosh attack seemed of no avail against the more experienced Marinette aggregation. October 28. Oshkosh 13g Waukesha 19. Oshkosh went down to defeat before Waukesha on the latter's field, October 28. Oshkosh had the advantage during most of the game, but Waukesha drop-kicked their way to a hard fought victory. A November 4. Oshkosh 313 Fondy 6. After a series of ou-t of town games Oshkosh met Fond du Lac on our own field. The Blue and White showed their real worth by staging a comefback and defeating Fondy by the score of 31 to 6. Captain Novotny was the star of the game. November 11. Oshkosh 63 Appleton 65. Oshkosh played its last game of the season at Appleton on Armistice Day, and suc- cumbed to defeat at the hands of a more experienced and proficient team. A good share of the Appleton score was due to the open field running of Captain Brieze. November 18. Oshkosh vs. Sheboygan. lCancelled.l Football in 1923 From the standpoint of games won and lost the past football season was not a great suceelssj But if we look at the matter in a different light, we can see -that much was accomplished. A good share of the 1922 team was made up of first year men many of whom will be back next season, and the experience they have received will be a great help to them then. With 'a good share of the line and part of the back-field experienced players, we may look forward to a team that will be of championship caliber. Through graduation the services of Captain Novotny, Barsch, Cameron, Adams, Gohsman, Streyzewski, Raddatz, Ives, and Kasper will be lost. However, there will be others who will fill their shoes and do their part in molding a championship eleven. Oshkosh will play five Fox River Valley Conference games as follows: October 13th. Oshkosh vs. East Green Bay. There. October 27th. Oshkosh vs. West Green Bay. Here. November 3d. Oshkosh vs. Fond du Lac. There. November 10th. Oshkosh vs. Appleton. Here. November 17.

The game was played before a packed gymnasium of from eight to nine hundred fans. Shortly after the game started Columbus won first point by making a field goal. Tucker Reed started the score for the Blue and White by sinking a free throw. The lead shifted from one side to the other for a while till the first half ended 9 to 6 in favor of Oshkosh. During this half Oshkosh out-played Columbus, but, according to the score, the teams seemed pretty evenly matched. From this time on the Blue and Whites easily kept -the lead and the game became more one-sided. In the first half the visitors proved too strong for any experimenting, but during 'the latter part of the game when victory was assured, coach Abrahamson sent in practically a full team of second string men. Novotny took the evening's record by making six field goals. Oshkosh Columbus Novotny ............ .... R . F. .... ..... T hiede Reed . ...... ..... L . F. .... .... A ustin Hotchkiss .. . . . . .

Oshkosh 34-g DePere 7 The Oshkosh quintet won its second contest of the season before a large crowd in the High School gymnasium Friday night, December 22. The game was preceded by -a curtain raiser between the second team and 'the Freshmen Athletic Club. This game was closely fought, the seconds getting the first basket and con- tinuing in the lead during most of the first half. During the second half, the score was very close, 'the Freshmen and seconds both making some pretty shots. The second team scored most of their baskets on short shots, while the Freshmen got theirs on long ones. Nearly every man on the squad was given a chance to play either in this game or in the one following, thus giving Coach Abrahamson a chance to see how his men worked under fire. The final score was 16 to 14 in favor of the second team. The game with Depere was opened by Croemans, Dad Braisher's star guard, getting a nice basket during the first minute of play. They were not allowed to hold the lead for long, however, for some nice floor work took the ball down under the Oshkosh basket and Reed scored a shot. Novotny raised the score for Oshkosh hy a pretty shot from the side lines and soon followed it by another. Depere tightened up for a few minutes after this, causing Oshkosh to stop its scoring. Novotny, after a few minutes, however, sneaked down under the basket for a scorer and Barsch soon dribbled down the floor for another. It was Depere's turn to score next on a foul, but Oshkosh soon made up for it by a series of baskets in which every man had a share, Stryzewski coming up for a few long ones. The half ended with the score 22 to 3 in favor of Oshkosh.

They did, however, score the first basket of this half. Their spirit was broken though, when Reed dribbled through them for a basket.

Since the inaugeration of the double session, little time is left after 3:35 for either the girls, or the boys who are not on the team, to use the gymnasium. However, it is hoped that very soon it may he arranged for those girls most enthusiastic over the sport, to have the gym at least for two aftemoons a week. Do not lose courage girls, we will have our class and color league tournaments, yet.

J Just the kind of a day 'that poets delight in writing about. To the young girl, who stood on the ivy covered screened porch, it seemed too beautiful and peaceful, to last. She stood poised for a moment on the porch steps, before descending into the hot sunshine. She resembled the flowers in her mother's garden, she looked so cool, fresh, and pretty in her dainty summer clothing. Q As she walked down to -the gate, a voice called, and looking down the street, she located the owner, some distance away. Hi there, Marion Blood-wait a minute! Soon Marion's school chum, Harriet Lown, caught up with her and together the girls walked down the street. Harriet was on her way to her grandmother's, who lived, she informed Marion, on the outskirts of the tillage. She laughed when Marion told her that she was carrying a message to the matron at the State Insane Asylum. When they reached the village limits, the girls parted. Harriet going -to her grandmother's, while Marion walked on down the long road leading to the State Hospital. She walked slowly as she had plenty of time, and it was too warm to hurry. About an hour later she entered the Hospital gate and started on her way up the mile-long driveway. As she was quite tired and warm, the shaded lane seemed an ideal place to walk. She wished that the road had been one-half as shady. A short distance from the gate she noticed a man cutting grass, and she knew that he was one of the inmates of the asylum, whom the doctors had thought well enough to be allowed to help around the grounds. He looked to be very large and strong as he swung a shining scythe with great rapidity. Marion wondered how they could allow an insane man so much freedom. She had read that many -times they change from peaceful patients to frenzied maniacs over any slight grievance. Suddenly Marion noticed that the man had stopped his work and was watching her progress up the lane. She became nervous-her footsteps quickened. She turned suddenly as she heard a hysterical laugh and her heartbeats quickened as she saw -the insane man coming toward her, carrying the scythe in one hand. He was laughing heartily,-but to Marionis frightened senses it seemed-fiendishly. She dropped her parasol and ran. Looking over her shoulder she saw that the man was also running. Her mind became almost blank with terror as she pictured what he could do with the shining scythe. She remembered a story she had read, of an insane man who had killed his keeper and had hidden the body for weeks. What a horrible way to die. It made her shiver with terror. Cold chills, much out of keeping with the hot day, ran over her. She was thoroughly terrorized. - She saw that he was gaining. Her mouth felt dry-her breath came in short gasps-it seemed as tho fortune must make him stumble, to lengthen the distance between them. He was laughing, and at intervals he would yell joyously. Soon her strength began to give out. Her speed decreased. Her feet felt as tho weights were attached to them-her body ached from the strain put upon it her-her heart seemed to choke her. Desperately she looked back again-and with terror in her heart she saw that the rnan was almost upon her. His face was hideous. It was red from his exertions, his tongue was hanging out, while his eyes seemed to bulge from their sockets.

Many things flashed through her mind. Her lies- they seemed small then-she prayed that they would be forgiven. With a last bit of will power she turned so that she faced the maniac. Exhausted she leaned against a tree for sup- port-her mind was a blank-her eyes fixed with horror-her face deathly white. The man ran up to her shoulder and laughlingly exclaimed, Tag-You're it. Marion staring at him- realized now that he thought she had been playing tag with him. For a moment she was angry-then, the humor of the situation came to her rescue, and leaning against the tree, she laughed and cried until it seemed as tho her sides would break. 9 'a 1 Era .Magix Oh, why are the seas so blue, so blue?

They talked excitedly and glanced many times toward -the doorway of the little old-fashioned schoolhouse. This moming above all others, had its excitement and thrills for was this not the morning the new teacher was to take charge! He looks sort of-of-well, he looks grouchyf' volunteered a sixth-grade lad as he perched himself on the fence, thus affording him a better view of the doorway. Aw, they all do, responded Tim Cadwick knowingly, Did ya ever see one that didn't? I suppose one could be different from the rest, sighed Annabelle Withers as she thought of the strict taskdmaster of the preceding winter. 'Mercy! Its nearly 'time for the bell! Just as she finished speaking, the new teacher appeared in the doorway and vigorously began ringing the hand-bell he carried. He was dressed in a sombre black suit which, from its frayed appearance must have been the property of several of his ancestors. The coat sleeves and the trouser legs were never meant for lengthy arms and legs such asltthose of Elihu Snow. His face was featured by narrowed eyes, grim-set mouth, and a nose slightly tinged with red. The children filed quietly in and took their accustomed seats. Elihu Snow, the master, walked profoundly down the aisle and took his place at the desk on the platform. He busied himself for a few minutes arranging the papersqon his desk and then, clearing his throat, spoke to the pupils in a rather high-pitched, uncertain voice. We are about to begin the winter session of school. By co-operation we can accomplish the maximum amount of work.. . . Here he was interrupted by a loud, shrill scream from the far side of the room. Investiga- tion proved that Tim had a dead mouse and was showing it to Annabelle who professed herself to be deathly afraid of the horrid old things. She had screamed when Tim had offered it to her for close inspection. After Annabelle had been reassured that -the mouse would be kept away from her and Tim had been reprimanded, the master resumed his talk. '4The text-books necessary will be the Arithmetic, Geography, Spelling, and Grammar books. I think ....... What he thought at that time has never been made known, but, to a certain sixth-grader who was at the time diligently displaying his slate to an an1used audience, he proceeded to administer several smarting blows on the hand. Then he ordered the would-be artist to erase the picture which bore the significant title of Teacher. The first class now came forward with the battered, torn geographies and arranged itself on the bench at the front of the room and the recitation began. 'LThomas, said Mr. Snow, addressing a small boy at the end of the bench, Go to the map and show us where Ireland is. Thomas went bravely forward and placed a smudgy finger on the map in the vicinity of lower Africa. Well, Ferdinand, said the teacher in answer to a wildly waving band, Show the class where Ireland is. Ferdinand marched gravely to the map and solemnly indicated the Philippine Islands. Page 69 January T H E I N D E X 1923 IllIlllllllIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIHIHIHHIIIIIHIIIllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII1IIIIIIIIIIIWIIIIllllllIIIIIllIlllllIIIIIllllllllllIIllllllllllIIIlllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII No, Ireland is .... the teacher began to enlighten the class, but was disturbed by titters and sounds of suppressed laughter from the rear of the room. As the instructor turned toward the scene of the disorder, a small, white, oval-shaped object caromed from his head. He walked briskly down the aisle to a boy who sat guiltily holding a bean-shooter. The youngster was sent to the dunce-stool in the corner, to spend the rest of the morning with the symbolic cone perched on -his head. Without further mishap, the geography lesson was completed and the classes of grammar and arithmetic followed in order. There were only a few disturbances which the master was aware of. His reprimands, however, were lost on the youthful ears of misdoers. The hands on the big, slow-ticking clock on the wall moved around and at last joined for a moment proclaiming the noon hour. Books were shoved forcefully into initial-carved desks. Every- one crowded through the door and tramped homeward through -the snow. He's not so bad, remarked Tim condescendingly. Could be worse, agreed the bean-shooting culprit thinking for the moment of a brief session with the hickory rod at the hands of a former teacher and then he added, I ain't afraid of him! 'R 4.

This poetry 'll drive 99 me wild yet. Youill drive somebody else wild yet if you don't stop muttering, retorted Tom, dodging the book where he was sitting in the corner reading. Can't you leave a fellow alone one minute? Youire forever pestering me with your troubles. Bob leaned hack in his chair, yawned, and stretched his arms above his head lazily. Say, old boy, he demanded suddenly, what'd you do with that tie I lent you the other night? This morning I hadn't any to put on. l'll say you're good. Here I lend you my only decent one to see your girl in and then you didn't even return it. Wait 'till I do something for you againf' Bob strode over to the bureau. For a while he rnmmaged through his jumble of belong- ings in a vain search for -the lost tie. It was almost impossible to find anything in a hurry in these boys' roomg it was always in a turmoil of shoes, books, coats, and hats. All of a sudden he found an old dried up orange that looked about hundred years old. Say, Tom, Bob bothered his bookworm roommate again, save this juicy bit o' fruit for me will you? I'm going to snooze a bit, and I guess I'll eat it later. Saying this, he laid the orange on the table. Then he lay down for his snooze. And, as Tom was absolutely absorbed in his book, all was quiet for quite a while. Bob dozed off to sleep. Presently Tom finished his book. Thais the best book on the market yet, -he commented to himself. 'That author sure makes a person feel good. I felt like a two-cent piece before, but, glory! that story sure agreed with me. Just turned out the way I wanted it to and everything. Guess I'll have to let my feelings out on someone ................ How about that orange Bob said he wanted to eat after his beauty sleep? He's been bothering me all evening. Now's my chance to get even. Thus he proceeded to carry out his plang he pealed the orange with his knife, threw the pealings in the waste basket, and began munching on the fruit. ......... . . It isn't such a choice morsel of food. But it'll be worth the fun when Bob wakes up and finds the pealings in the basket? he said to himself. Then he took up another book, and settled down to read again. This one was decidedly dry. He began to long for some excitement. All of a sudden the book crashed to the Hoor. Bob sat up with a start. Wim-t's that? Bob cried out, blinking with all his might. Oh, this book just slipped from my hands, that's all. I guess Iim tired, Tom answered, picking up the book from the floor. Bob rose from the bed slowly and stretched himself lazily. I guess I'll have my feast now, he muttered languidly heading for the table where he had placed the orange. He began pushing aside the jumble of paper, books etc. Page 71 January T H E I- N D E X 1923 vIIIIHIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIVIIIlllllllllllIIIIIIIIIllIllIIIHIIIllllllllllllllIIIIllIIIIIIHIllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIllllllllllllllllllllll Where under -the sun is that orange, he grumbled impatiently. Say, am I dreaming or what's the matter. I had an orange on that table before I lay down and now-well I'll bet anybody two bits they can't find it, proceeded the disgusted Bob. Tom remained indifferent. Oh you never did have any patience with anything. Look around the room a hit. You're always forgetting where you put things anyway. Bob searched further, but in vain. Finally, with a startled exclamation he found the peal- ings in the waste basket. He nearly fell back with amazement. Should be actually believe his eyes? To be sure he was not seeing things. There in the bottom of the basket were the pealings as sure as anything. Could he have walked in his sleep and eaten the orange unknowingly? Of course not, tha-t was an absurd thought. Tom continued to deny emphatically over and over again that he had ever once left his place while Bob was sleeping. Furthermore, he declared, Bob had truly eaten it in a trance. Bob was mystified. He knew for certain that he had not ea-ten that orange. But could he prove it? No. There was the evidence against him in the basket. He kept a suspicious eye upon Tom, but never afterwards did he say a thing to his roommate about the disappear- ance of that orange. 1-1 Sung nf llfarrmrll Farewell, 0 land of my delight!

As he stepped from the train in the little weather-beaten J station at Jamesville, he was only another stranger. No one noticed his rumpled cloth- ing, his crushed felt hat and discolored boots. His face was lean and intelligent, and topped with bright red hair for which reason he was called Copperhead As he stood on the platform of the station, his body showed great strength while he was straight and tall as a pine tree. His gaze traveled over the little village with its few rambling stores, its abandoned saloons, till, looking east, he let his eyes rest on the low, dim blue range of mountains. Then disregarding the stores, houses and saloons, he strode straight toward the east. By the time he had reached the foothills the sun was setting, and when he reached the crest of the low range mountains the moon had come up to welcome him. One more hill, only one more, he said happily to himself. As he was dead tired, he gave himself up to the temptation to sit down on the pine needles and moss to rest. His eyelids drooped. He slept and dreamed once more of his mother, his old home, and Alice., dear beloved Alice. Copperhead had just finished doing a ten years term in the Nashville penitentiary for murder. He had not been guilty, but the ring of circumstance and perjury had convicted him. Finally awaking and resuming his journey, he soon reached the crest of the last hill and stood gazing down upon his own country. There were cabins and cabins, big and little, with their cleared sections. Directly before him lay the cabins of his people but-and his heart sank, there was no smoke from the chimneys. The clearing was overgrown with weeds. Home! No, he had no home. - Why had Alice not told him or did she wish to save him the pain of knowing. Oh, why hadn't she told him! Alice Manners, a mountain girl, barely able to spell her own name correctly, had pre- vailed upon the storekeeper to help her put her thoughts on paper, while Copperhead had been taught to read and write in prison. As Jim stood on the crest, looking at his old home, he thought of the old feud and the truce. . . The Birthwoodis, they've wiped my folks clean out. Someone broke the truce, guessed Jim. Suddenly footsteps sounded on the path, and turning slowly, he saw her-tall, slender, barefooted, and bareheaded. Alice, Alice, he held out his hands to her. I ain't Alice, Jim, I'm Marian, she said, as she placed her hands in his. Jim held her off, his eyes did not leave her face. His hands dropped. Marian, Alice's sister, was but sixteen, when he had been taken away, and she had looked a great deal like Alice. Oh, those cruel undeserved ten years. I beg ye pardon. I didn't know. I ain't seed you or Alice for ten year. And Alice- Page 73 January T H E I N D E X 1923 lllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllIlllllllIIIllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIllllllllllllllllllllIllIllllllllHIIIIIIllIIllllllllllllllllilllllllllIlllll Soon after you went away to the penitentiary Alice took sick and she died a month later. Alice know'd she'd haf to die and she l'arned me to write so's I could take her place writin' letters to you. We wanted to keep ye as happy as we could in that awful prison. If we did wrong in not tellin' ye, I'm shore ye can fo'give us. And my folks? The Birthwoods busted the truce and wiped ye people ODI, Jim- The' WHS three to One ag'inst ye folks.,' She turned slowly and walked away from him, and he heard a sob as she went. There was no doubt in his mind as to what he would do. There was but one thing to do, Revenge It was the way of his fathers and all mountain meng it was their unwritten code of honor. Turning, he swiftly made his way to the only store of the mountain settlement. I want a .38 Winchester and two hundred ca'tridges to fit it, he calmly stated to the keeper. Upon receiving the gun and shells, he strode out of the store and headed for Al Manner's cabin. It was noon when he arrived at the log house where Alice had once lived. Al Manner's, a lanky, bearded, kindly man, fairly jumped to meet Jim. Jimmy, he cried joyfully, 'Tm plum nigh tickled to death to see ye! Marian told me ye were back. You're jest in time for dinner. Copperhead seated himself on the doorstep. 'iMariau told me ye knowed it all. I'm glad ye ain't done nothing yet, the old man continued. Don't ye think, that I have a right to kill every one of them Birthwoods, interrupted Jim. Yes, ye have, Manners agreed. But the arm of the low would be here in two jumps. The Birthwoods brought the law here by moonshinin' whiskey. Jim, it would be fine if ye could catch them Birthwoods for the law and all alone. H Al, I'll do it, I'll hand them over to the law, hut fust I'll have the Sheriff make me deputy. Right, it's the very thing, cried Al. Dinner's ready, called Marian from the doorway. After dinner .lim left for the Sheriff's ofiice where he was made Deputy and promised twenty-five hundred dollars reward for the capture of the illegal moonshiners. After leaving the office on his way into the hills, he stopped at the store and bought a few cans of food. For two days he watched for ta sign of the Birthwoods, but had found none. On the third evening, however, he was rewarded. There was a light in the cabin which he was watching. This was soon extinguished and the heavy, gaunt figure of a man stepped from the doorway and headed into the mountains, Jim following him. It was not long before the figure stopped and John Birthwood-for it was he-leader of the clan, rested his rifle, which he carried, on the ground and was soon joined by five other men, the last of the tribe of lawbreakers. Every man carried his rifle knowing he might be attacked at any time by Federal agents. When they were all assembled, they filed one by one up the mountain side. Miles they covered without a word, followed always by the silently tracking Copperhead. Page 74 January T H E I N D E X 1923 lllllllllllIIIIIIlllllllIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllIIIIIlllllllIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllIIIIIIIlllllIlllIlllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Soon they entered a deep ravine and the men were lost to view, for Jim had had to drop back as the underbrush had given way to a few scraggly trees. But his woodsman's instinct served him well and he soon found them at their unlawful labor. Having seen all, Copperhead stole back to the Sheriffs. On the way he was evolving a plan of capture, for he must catch the enemy alone so his vengeance would be more bitter. By the time he reached the Manner's cabin, his plan of capture was complete. Here he stopped to exchange a few words with Al and Marian. At the Sheriffs' he procured hand- cuffs, a horse, four riiies, and food. Packing these on his horse, he started back into the hills. That night he hobbled his horse on the banks of a creek a half' mile from the still and crept forward with the rifles. The next day dawned bright and clear and found Copperhead's plan well completed and the Birthwoods hard at their whiskey trade. Suddenly the air was spilt with the report of a .38 and a voice from the underbrush called: Hands up! We got ye! Keerful now, boys. Copperhead had counted on surprise to aid him and he was not disappointed. The Birth- woods stunned by the intmsion stood with their hands pointed skyward. Again the voice spoke: Don't move, Birthwoods. If they do, Larson, shoot. You revenue men, shoot if they move and shoot to kill. Now Bill, leave your gun here and handcuff those men. All right Pete. Copperhead stepped from the brush, empty handed except for the handcuffs, and before he was recognized, he had the men handcuffed together and helpless. Catching up their rifles and retrieving his own and the four rifles of the Sheriffs, which he had placed so the barrels could be seen by the men, he turned to John, who, recognizing Jim Harrow, let out a bellow of rage. Well, John, said Jim, in a bitter voice, it was purty good for a lone man wasn't it? There ain't no Sheriff and their ain't. no revenue men with me. I'm Copperhead Harrow and this is my revenge. If ye'll be decent, I'll take ye to jail alive if not-well ye know what I'll do. Lead the way, John, down to the creek. The Birthwoods did not move. All right. If ye want to save me the trouble, he said threateningly raising his rifle. Ye killed my mother and dad and my brother. Ye broke the truce and I'll- Wait, screamed three of the captured men, we'l1 go wi' ye to the Sheriff. Dead or alive? Copperhead inquired. Alive, said John. Copperhead marched them down to the creek where he had left his horse, and, unfastening a long rope from the saddle horse, he tied it to the handcuffs of the two out- side Birthwoods, then mounting his horse, he drove them like cattle into the mountain settlement and to jail, calling out again and again Ha-o! here, -there, get over there John! Ha-o! Ha-ol At last the Sheriffs office was reached, and soon the six lawbreakers were jailed. Cop- perhead tumed in his star, and receiving the twenty-five hundred dollars reward, left for the Manner's cabin with a light heart--he had done his duty to himself and to his country.

As a result, it is only just that the members of the debating 'teams should receive official recognition for their work, and a faculty ruling to that effect has recently been passed. In other schools it is customary, to award the debaters small, appropriate embelms suitable to be worn on a watch chain, such as the silver triangles given by Pi Tau Beta to the teams of the past two or three years. In a great many, however, the school letter in the so called forensic', form, a large letter with a small f in the lower corner, is given. Either of these steps would complete and balance the plan regulating the awards to be given for each branch of competition, and would place Oshkosh High on the same basis as the other schools throughout the country. A great deal of opposition has been raised by a few people who believe that the forensic letter is not of as high value as the athletic letter and that therefore the debaters should be awarded the letter. They fail to see that if the athletic letter does occupy the highe-r position that it is due to the fact that fooball and basketball are of more importance, and that it is up to the debaters to put debating on an equal plane. Then when debating comes to the point where it exerts as powerful an influence on the school spirit and interest, then the forensic letter will be as coveted as the athletic. But it does not seem quite fair to want to borrow prestige. It has also been argued that each athletic letter should have a small a in the lower corner to signify athletics, It is claimed that this is just as fair as having a small f in the debating letters. At first glance this seems plausible, but one should remember that a plain letter is universally understood to stand for athletics, and that any small one would seem to show that it was not atheltics that was signified. The reason that this is so is that when athletics were introduced, debating was not in existence, and as a result plain letters were given for athletics alone, and, as other activities began to appear they were given different letters to distinguish them from foot-ball and basketball, and not to show that they were of less importance. As a matter of fact the Index believes that debating is of equal importance. It should be realized that this opposition does not come from the debaters themselves, for a majority of the men selected in the first tryout have expressed themselves as prefer- ing the forensic letter to the plain. The Index can also speak with assurance in saying that the members of the athletic teams, Pi Tau Beta the debating organization, and the school in general believe that the members of the debating teams should receive the former.

This gives the Oshkosh team a free trip to Madison next March, at which time the State Stock-Judging Contest will be held at the College of Agriculture. Five classes of live stock were judged in the district contest, Guernsey Cattle, Holstein Cattle, Draft Horses, Shropshire Sheep, and Duroc Jersey Swine. The .affair was conducted by Mr. A. H. Button, County Agent of Washington County and R. R. Runke, County Agent of Fond du Lac County. In the final markings, Oshkosh scored 1107.43 points, out of a possible 1500. Plymouth scored 107930, and Omro 98627. The Oshkosh teams have always been consistent winners in the district judging contests, having lost only one contest in the past five years. They have also won laurels in the state judging contests, being the champion judges of Dairy Cattle in 1921, which gave them the honor of representing Wisconsin in judging at the National Dairy Show held at St. Paul, where La Verne Taylor, a member of the team, won high honors in judging Holstein Cattle. The 1923 stock judging team is making use of every opportunity to get ready for the coming state contest, and the boys are determined to be well up in the running for first honors of the state. Qlnmmrrrial Evpartment At this time of the year, 302 is putting on the finishing touches to the typewriting work.

The regular work has been completed in most cases and much extra work has been done also. This course has proved to be of great help to those girls who are taking it. Economy as well as art and neatness are taught in connection with this course. COOKING CLASSES The cooking classes have also done splendid work this semester. This course includes the study of foods, table setting, and economy. The girls taking the course this semester have certainly received much valuable knowledge and experience. PRINTING The printing classes are under new direction this Semester, and have covered some valuable work . A magazine is being printed called Beach Leaves which tells of t.he work done by the pupils of the Beach School. The football, basketball, and party tickets were printed by the puhils taking this course. Because of the increased amount of work done, a new printing machine has been installed and new type bought. AUTO MECHANICS The course in Auto Mechanics includes instruction in the construction and repairing of cars. This is a very practical course and prepares the boys for garage work. FORGING The boys taking the forging work, acquire the knowledge of the making of chains, knives, etc. WOOD TURNING These classes have work in the making of lamp bases, wooden bowls, smoking stands, bread boards, and candlestick holders.

Un- heralded and unsung, a genius has sprung up among us. From comparative obscurity, Harold Random, affectionately known to his friends as Banty, has forged to the front. Shy and modest as ever, it was but re-' cently that he astounded the scientific world with his theories involving some of nature's phenomena. Even the most learned are unable to explain why, as the speed of an object upon the ean'th's surface de-, creases as it nears the poles, there should not be a place where there is no motion whats- oever. According to Mr. Ran- dom this point would be an infintesimal spot at the North and South Poles and comprising a narrow core between these points. Mr. Random, with the aid of W Mr. Pierce, has also evolved a plan whereby duck hunters may be awakened early on days fa- vorable to their sport. The fun- damentals are as follows: if the Nimrod desires a cold, west wind, a small platform is erect- ed outside of a west window. On this is a slightly inclined plane, with the higher end to- ward the west. At the top is a pile of dirt. A crab is liberated at the bottom, the plane being surrounded by a fence to pre- vent its escape. Crabs are by nature inclined to laziness and so would prefer to remain at the bottom. However, if it he- comes very cold, the crab will climb to the top and bury it- self in the dirt, thus closing an electric circuit which puts the brake on an alarm clock pre- viously set for whatever hour the sleeper wishes to be awakened. Ordinarily, it will take a healthy crab four and a third minutes to climb to the top. But if a strong west wind is blowing, it will retard him at least a minute. At the end of four and two-thirds minutes after he has left the bottom, a door drops just in front of the dirt. The action of the crab in leaving the bottom releases the brake on the alarm, and if he fails to reach the top in time, the alarm will ring at the time designated. This can only occur on cold, windy days favorable to duck hunting, as the crab will not leave 'the bottom on warm days and will reach the top too soon on cold days with the wind in any direction but west. Mr. Random is offering this device for the modest sum of 82.50. Mr. Feldman has already purchased one and reports it as very successful. HELP! G. Willard Meyer, friend of the people, appeals to you to aid him in his fight. While the national government has been beating about the bush, Mr. Meyer has gone straight to the heart of the matter. With re- ports from hundreds of farm- ers before him, he has at last come to the conclusion, that the worst enemy of farming is the bee. It is the bee that eats the farmer's alfalfa. Mr. Meyer be- lieves it,-he said so in class. It is the bee that robs the fami- er of his honest eamings. While he sleeps, the bee sneaks into his barn and swipes his al- falfa. Curses! Something must be done! Mr. Meyer is now raising a fund to supply farm- ers with sticky-fly-paper. He craves your help. ALAS! ALACK! Glen Heywood, mainstay and white hope of the debating team, the Dempsey of chin- athletics, has sprained his jaw in practice and it is feared that he may not be able to compete in the triangular debate. A ring on the hand is worth two on the telephone. Walt: That butcher must like to play cards. Fault: Why, brother? Walt: He has a tray o'hearts in his hand.

Time: Daylight-saving. The home teams cross bats inl an exciting ball-game, and for fear the public would not be in- formed we are contributing a complete obituary. The game started with Small- pox catching, and Cigar in the box had a lot of smoke. Horn was on first base, Fiddle played second base, while Violin played third. Everyone cheered when they saw Ty Cobb's brother, Corn, on short. Crass covered most of the outfield. The visitors came to bat first. Molasses was at the stick, but he was too slow to run. Cigar let Brick walk, and Lemon squeezed him to second. Lights was put out and things looked pretty dark. Then Wind be- gan to blow about what he could do. Organ pumped Cigar for a base on balls. Needle was um- piring and he was sharp enough hut he had only one eye. Now Balloon went in to pitch, but he too went up in air. Some- one in the crowd was roasting Peanuts when Organ pealed one out to center-field. Saw-dust filled the bags, but all were happy when Spider caught a fly. When the home team took its turn at lrat, the umpire was overcome with pop-bottles. Apple went in but he was so rotten that Cate swung at him. The Captain wanted Finklestein to bat, hut Fink said he would not step on a diamond. This made Cold sore, but Old Ice kept cool. The pitcher threw out his arm on the next ball, I a window-pane. Cabbage had a good head but of course he had to get stewed. On a sharp play, Knife was out for cutting based Chicken made a fowl and Rooster began to crow.

They certain- I ly put it over in great style. P i ! i The Sophomore class was awarded the honor of being the I 1 w i 4 one to sell the largest member' of tickets for the postponed Sheboygan game. Here s hop- ing they will do as well next year! For the purpose of raising funds for their club, the mem- bers of LeCercle Francais con- ducted a candy sale during the Index dance of December fif- teenth. The candy was very good and sold rapidly. Between halves of the Colum- bus-Oshkosh game, the band played and our Freshmen cheer- eader Chuck Connell enter- 'tained us all with his trick but the doctor said it was only! dancing. The Junior class was the first of the classes to have a party this year. It was fairly well Page 80 A l attended, considering the incle- ment weather. You know how much like the Seniors the Jun- iors try to be. Next came the Sophomore party. This was unusually well attended. The Sophs are so dig- nified. At last the Freshmen. It was some partyg a Christmas tree, Santa Claus, N' everything. Al- though the Freshmen that you see in the halls try to be so grown up, they all acted like kids that night. Last, but not least, the Sen- iors. Words fail us. Look for comments when we recover suf- ficiently. She: What were you doing after the accident. He: Scraping up an aquaint- ance. THE LITTLE FROSH AND THEIR BIG PARTY On December the eighth, a dark, cold evening, all the little Fresh, decked in their best togs, came to the gym. It goes without saying, they all should have been in bed at this hourg but, nevertheless they were there, making a noble at- tempt to keep their eyelids from drooping, in which act they succeeded very well, con- sidering-. The gym had been decorated in red and green, as they had seen the upper class-men do. It was very hard work, but their efforts were not entirely in vain, for the gym looked 'quite gay. As usual the presiden-ts of the classes were expected to be on the scene at seven-thirty. One, delayed because of the great difficulty of finding her way in the darkness, though after eight, was allowed to enter without being mobbed. Like the upper-men they had to have solo-dances and -these, although performed by the chil- dren themselves were very pleasing and artistic. Then the children were sur- prised hy a visit from Santa Claus himsel-f, who had made a Ihr illihgrt num VOL. 4 Oshkosh High School Review No. 4 special trip from the North Pole in his airship -to be pre- sent. The gifts, consisting of dolls, and other toys, were heaped about a prettily-trimmed tree. Santa made inquiry as to their behavior so that he would know what to bring on his next trip. You may rest assured that jest before Christmas, they were as good as they could be. After a short program of dancing these little ones started for home and bed. Iu the mean- time they have been recuperat- ing and seem to be no uworse for wear.' RESOLUTIONS FOR THE COMING YEAR 1. I will not fail in more than four classes. 2. I will not borrow paper. 3. I will attend class meet- ings. 4. I will not litter the floor with paper-unless I have some I want to get rid of. MWHYH Why is there an assembly when we have studying to do? Why do some students park their gum under the chairs in the class rooms? Why do girls wear galoshes on dry sunshiny days? Why has Washington a birth- day, if he is dead? Why is it, when one is almost late for school, the gates of the Soo always go down to let a long freight pass through? Why the sign, Shoes Shined Inside?

A WORD TO THE WISE IS SUFFICIENT' What happened, what happen- ed? The students all cried, As a crash in the hall Brought them from every side. From Freshmen to Seniors, All pupils were nigh: For the awful noise echoed All over the High. Then as they inquired While nearer they drew, Their question was answered, The stairs had gone through!

Although no credit is given, the State awards a diploma for the reading of six books during the year and a seal for each of six additional books read. Quite a number of the students are trying to win the diploma and seals. The Freshmen party occurred Friday evening, December 8th, in the gymnasium. It was a Christmas party and proved to be a great success. I Arrangements had been made at the class meeting to have each student draw the name of some other student who intended to be present the night of the anticipated event. Each brought an inexpensive gift for the student whose name had been drawn. These mysteriously tagged bundles were heaped around a beautiful Christmas tree and were distributed by Santa as a fitting climax in the program of activities. Many games were played and dancing completed the entertainment of the evening. The annual Senior Prom, held January fifth, was unusually attractive in its decorative appointments as wel.l as its special feature program. The scheme of decoration was carried out in a winter effect with green and white, the predominating colors. The special events, particularly the radio dances, were unique. Excellent music was fumished for dancing and this added much to the enjoyment of the party. About two hundred persons attended. Almost all of the details for graduation were completed at a meeting of the Senior A class on December 19th. The class flower will be the Columbia Rose and Lavender Sweet Peas. Rose and Orchid were selected as colors. The baccalaureate sermon is to be delivered by Rev. Todd. The banquet will be held at the Athearn Hotel and Tom Reed will act as toastmaster. The Senior B's will be invited to the dance after the banquet. The try-out for the debating teams for this year was held in -the auditorium on Decem- ber 6th. The Pi Tau Beta Society had able representatives, who will undoubtedly bring honor to themselves and to the school. This year there has been a new interest added, in that some of the girls have been brave enough to enter the try-outs. These were Ruth La May, Mona Schnasse, and Lydia Ransom. Keep up the good work, girls! More about debates later. , Robert MeMillen and Charles Breeze, editor and business manager, respectively, of the Index, attended the third annual conference of the Central Interscholastic Press Association held in Madison December lst and 2nd. Olalvnhar Sale By means of drives in the home rooms on December 7th, the Calendar Sale and Contest started in a manner which heralded the success of both.

On the first day, Miss Blood's room climbed to the one hundred twenty-five percent mark. Some of the rooms equalled and even surpassed this average for sales made. On December fifteenth, at the Index dance, Gretchen Siebert and Raymond Novotny were announced as the winners of the contest and each was presented with a large box of fine candies. The calendar itself was very attractive and worthy the effort of the committee and the large sale which it enjoyed. A radio set has been installed at the high school, in connection with the work of the Physics department. ln addition to usefulness as an educational factor in the institution, it has given pleasure to those who have availed themselves of the opportunity of listening in. On December 5th, at 7:45 A. M., a writing contest was held at the high school under the auspices of the D. A. R. The subject for composition was The Educational and Recrea- tional Value of the Movies. Nine Junior B's and one Senior B competed. Classes in dancing., under the direction of Miss Hayes, have been held during the morn- ing periods prior to the Prom. Students, coming to school on bicycles, were requested to observe all Arterial Stops according to a notice read in all the home rooms. The band, directed by Mr. Kluck, gave a fine program on Friday, November 28th, during the general period. At Appleton, where the band played recently, it was highly complimented. Rah! Rah! Rah! Three cheers for our new girl cheer-leaders! There will be more enthusiastic cheering tif that be possible! now that we have Lois Mosiman and Betty Segal wielding the megaphones.

THE ORIGIN OF REALTOR Question: Will you kindly give the derivation of the coined -term 'Realtor' as copy- righted by a sect of the real estate operators of the U. S. A.

A STRANGE STORY There is an old story of a lawyer named Strange and his wife having a conference as to the things he wished done after he had departed this life. I want a head-stone put over me, my dear, said the lawyer, with the simple inscrip- tion-'here lies an honest lawyer.',' The wife expressed surprise that he did not wish his name put on his head stone. It will not be needed, he said, for those who pass by and read that inscription will invariably remark: 'That's Strange.

FINDING HIS LIMIT With a sentimental leaning toward the days of his own youth, a certain business man sent his son to the college where he himself had been educated. On arriving at the place of knowledge, the young man began to make a few inquiries. I should like to see my father's record, said he to the head of the college. He was here in l89O. I shall be very much pleased to show you the record, was the reply. But have you any special reason for consulting it? '5Well,' replied the youth frankly, uwhen I left home, Dad told me not to disgrace his record, and I only want to see how far I can go. wherzinga BY HON. G. HOWIE SNORTZ, INC.

Sure an' a stone coffin 'ud last a man a lifetime. I Pat, do you understand French? Shure, an' if it's spoke in Irish. An English gentleman was writing a letter in a coffe-house and perceiving an Irishman stationed behind him reading it, said nothing, but finished his letter with these words: I would say more, but a big, tall Irishman is reading over my shoulder every word I write. You lie, you scoundrellw said the self-convicted Hibernian. HEARD IN CAFES AND RESTAURANTS Do you call that a veal outlet, waiter? said a customer.

PARAGRAPHLETTES CONTAINING PEARLS OF WISDOM When a fellow brags about his ancestors on the Mayflower, tell him yours were on the Ark. It's a wise child that goes out of the room to laugh when the old man smashes his thumb with the hammer. Best -thing about drinking wood alcohol, it never becomes a habit. Now they will make windshields of unbreakable glassg but no driver has an unbreakable neck. The only reliable substitute for brains is silence. If music is the language of love, a saxophone player hates everybody. The world gets better. You seldom hear a ukelele now. The harder the job to do, the greater the joy when it's done. We saw a man wearing a vest laugh at a woman's summer furs. Lots of men with good eyes can't see you when you are broke. Ford's ambition was to make a 30 cent watch, but he found it would run, so he called it a car.

When I stood up in the meeting, to relate my experience, Dick explained, and opened my mouth, the Deacon rose in front and said, Will some one please close that window, and keep it closed? A very deaf old lady, walking along the street, saw an Italian tuming a peanut roaster. She stood looking at it a while, shook her head, and said: No, I shan't give you any money for such music as that-I can't hear any of the tunes and besides, it smells as if there was something burning inside! als this the hosiery department? said the voice over the telephone.

The professor and his wife were doubtful about returning to the farm on which they passed the previous summer, because of the proximity of the pig-sty to the house. Finally, professor wrote to the farmer and explained the objectionable feature. He received the owing reply: We hain't had no hogs on the place since you was here last summer. Be sure to come. Are you sure this bag is genuine crocodile-skin?,' the woman asked the shopkeeper. Absolutely, was the reply. I shot the crocodile myself. But it is badly soiled. Well, yes, of course. That's where it hit the ground, when it fell out of the tree. The French aristocrats were not always conspicuously careful in their personal habits. A or to a Parisian Grande remarked to her hostess: But how dirty your hands are. The great lady regarded her hands doubtfully as she replied: Oh, do you think so? Why, you ought to see my feet!
