Made and published this twenty-fifth day of January, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty- four. We, the graduating class of january 1924, being mentally and physically capable, having endured the four years required to become of age, and considering the uncertainty of this new, perilous life, do therefore make, ordain, publish, and declare the following to be our last will and testament. Being of generous and noble nature, we have collected under perilous efforts, a great mass of valuables, which now, in these last moments of our four-year life, we bequeath to those who are near and dear to us. Our parting wish is that the funeral services be held with proper pomp and ceremony and that the under classmen dress in black to signify their deep sorrow over the loss of such a noble and respected class. The enormous estate, which has taken us four long years to amass, we now bequeath as follows: First: To Principal A. B. O'Neil, we leave an extra sized Big Ben to be placed on a pedestal near him in the auditorium so that he will be sure not to allow assemblies to run over time. Second: To our beloved teachers we leave our famous test papers, to be kept as specimens of superhuman knowledge. Third: To Miss Bacon: The basketball players of this high and mighty class leave their knee-pads to be worn when search- ing for B B shots in the fourth hour study hall. Fourth: To Mr. Weber, Paul Bobzin leaves his Nestle curling outfit. May your hair wave permanently! Fifth: To Mr. Molstad, we bequeath a nerve restorer, to be used while taking charge of Senior -study halls. Now, we have no more fear of his nervous breakdown. Sixth: To Miss Hunt, those from the solid geometry class leave the kindergarten toys they have made. We hope she will get as much enjoyment out of them as we did. Seventh: The graduating boys have made a collection of all their surplus quantities of Stay Comb, etc. which is generously left to Mr. Feldman. Eighth: To our successors, the present S. B's, we leave the best that is in us-our perseverance and ability to memorize. You will surely need it!

B's a little advice: We suggest that one cup of strong coffee, without sugar, be drunk before entering the J. B English classes, as a nerve restorer. To the J. A's: Our graft with Mrs. Warren. Tenth: To the Sophs: We leave our algebra answer books. Try and Find 'em. Eleventh: To the Frosh: We bequeath to you our extensive knowledge of Greek mythology. Yo-hoo Telemachus! Twelfth: The following are a few personal bequests of the late class of january '24. 1. Franklin Marx leaves his remedy for getting thin to Willard Hammond. May he grow tall and slender. 2. Glenn Heywood is allotted the voluminous vocabulary of Reg Bemis. Great things can now be expected from Glenn. 3. Lee DeChant leaves his musical ability to anyone who will accept it. 4. Ted Frentz gladly leaves his height to Brute Zentner. 5. John Christ's football ability, to pilot the third team, is left to Chuck Nolan. Coach! Let's see this little man go. 4 6. Florence Thiele leaves her boxing ability to the Mat and Mit club. They ought to be proud of this gift. What says Fondy? 7. Eileen Unmuth and Lucille Carpenter leave school. CSO they hope, at least.j 8. Dorothy Hines leaves her curls to any of the less fortunate girls. 9. Pep Thomas leaves his sunny disposition and Clara Daus her bashfulness to Tub Bauer. 10. Beatrice Hebel leaves her private collection of zeros to Irene Schmidt. Marks aren't worth much nowdays! 11. Alvin Goetz has gathered together all of the different kinds of hair dye that he has tried, which now he ungrudgingly bequeaths to Sarah Pommeraning. 12. Dorothy Zentner leaves hervrouge and eyebrow pencil to Art Emnott. Watch those red lips grow redder and those black eyebrows blacker. Zin lmiinraa lmherrnf.

Gone Days have passed and nights departed, Endless days they seem to me, As I wander through the woodland Thinking of eternity. Though the winds blow round me fiercely, And the trees stand bleak and bare, From my thoughts no earthly changes Can remove despair.

Our membership has been increased by a very desirable group of fellows and we still have some on our waiting list. The graduating sen-iors of the organization areg Donald Zellmetr, Franklin Marx, Chester Mittag, Reginald Bemis, and Herm-an Helm. These .members will be keenly missed next semester 'as they have been an active group in our work. Plans are under way for the Annual Banquet, and it is planned to have it the most effective social affair ever given by the society. Th-is will make ta fitting climax to a semester of instructive and 'pleasing work done in fthe organization. Beta Sigma Kappa is working to make the society one of the most vital forces in Oshkosh H-igh School. Each member feels the responsibility. During the past semester lectures were given by Mr. Buckstaff and Dr. Linn. Melvin Stothfang gave an inrtenesting talk on Radio, demonstrating with a set. Besides the above, mlany short topics and debates were given making a decidedly instructive and beneficial li-st of programs. At this time the members wish to thank those who have made the work of the semester so successful. 32 January T H E I N D E X 1924 llllllllllllllllllllIIlIlllllllllllIIllIlllllIllIIlllllllllIlllIlllllllllIllIIIIIlllllIllIllIIllllllIlllllllllllllllllllIIlllllllIlllIlllllllIIlllllllllllIllIIIIIlllllIllIlllIIlllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Onawah Lydia Ransom . . .... .

It was decided -that the name of the Club be changed -to its original name, New Era. As there is no significant meaning in Nuera and as t-here is in New Era, it was decided to return to its origi-nal name. The Club was founded at the time women were given the right to vote. The purpose of the -society was to make more in-telligent citizens, and this has continued to be the object of the so-ciety. Meetings arre held every other week on Monday, usually in room 405. At these meetings this semester topics on eniment women of our own times have been discussed- Parliamentary procedure is going to be one of the Club's main features in the future. On November fi-fth a motion was made and carried that New Era have a pin to symbolize the club- On December seventeenth the pins were chosen.

As an appreciation of -their work, the school has awarded each member of the second team an O. A. A. The pivot position was well taken care of by Dunham, Zentner, and Christ. Dunham and Zentner showed promise, but did not finish the season. Christ filled the position well. He was a veritable tiger on defense, breaking through time and again, and on the offense, he passed the ball well and opened up good holes in the first team line. Christ is a graduate. Frick, Nolan, Rogers, and Chase played in good form at the guard positions, while B. Chase and E. Conrad at the tackles, proved a menace to the first team's attack. Behling, Bloechl, and Abe Conrad left nothing to be desired at the end positions, tackling well and nabbing passes t-ime and again. The backfleld was composed largely of Hrst team substitutes, but Casey, Seymour, Rogers, Embs, Frick, Nolan, Chase, and Christ Hlled back-field posi- tions at different times and formed a good attack for the first team to stop. Captain Gronowski, Marsh, Barsch, Elmer E. Conrad, A. Conrad, Bloechl, Chase, and Nolan, will be back next year. With the aid of the new material, and w-ith these old players to form a nucleus, Coach Abraham-son should round ou-t a good team for next year.

The girls have been practising on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:45 to 4:30. Directly after the Christmas Holiday a Funny Paper League will be held. Each team will be named lafter some character in the funny paper. The girls will be divided into two sections, minor and major. The winning mi-nor team will clash with the win-ners of the major section for championship. The teams will be chosen in the usual way by having the centers draw for 'two forwards and two guards. The Class Tournament, 'the most important event of the season, will take place soon after the Funny Paper League. - The champions of the Class Tournament last year were the Sophomores. Come on Seniors-we must be champions this year. The girls of the Oshkosh High School do not seem so enthusiastic about athletics as in past years. The hockey season failed, but let us make the basketball season a successful one, by having every girl try out for the Class Tournament.

It is a single word with only four letters, and not a particularly nice 66 word either. lt is one, the use of which mothers usually discourage in their young sons, and sometimes young daughters. Although it consists of one syllable, few words are so expressive. So thought jack's mother when she heard it accompanied by loud thuds and grunts, after a slam of the outside door and the clanking of sk-ates. Mother fashion, she called, Jack, why so much noise and such language? And goodness me! as an especially loud thud came to her ear, Do save the furniture! Gosh, the word came again. mlm just sitting down. It's snowing so hard we can't keep it ofl' the ice. And Betty went off with Bob. The last was just a grumble which his mother could not hear. Where are the others? Mrs. Billings questioned. ,I ack came in then and sat down. His face showed disappointment, anger, and disgust. Gone to buy hot chili! in a disagreeable tone. Mrs. Billings wanted to smile, but that would never win her son's confidence at such a time, so she merely thought, Troubles of a sixteen year old, and ventured forth on her quest wi-th as much care as an old.hen when she takes her young ch-icks for their first walk. Why didn't you go with them? You aren't ill, are you ? and she peered anxiously into the face of the young athlete. Guess not, to the last question. He avoided the first, but his mother had brought him up, so did not despair. You know we asked them to stay over the Christmas and New Year's holidays, she continued. Marie is your cousin, and since she and Oliver are married, it makes Betty, as Oliver's sister, almost a cousin, too. Surely, it isn't very nice to co-me home just because you don't care about chili. Now Mrs. Billings knew that her son was especially fond of the hot dish and that now she would get the key. Guess she won't care, Jack snorted, striding up and down, with hands in pockets, and in the meantime turn-ing up all the rugs. Bob came over and he's along with them. This time his mother indulged in a smile. It was safe enough, as his back was turned, and he was not paying any attention to her anyway. Then rising. I'm glad you came home, though, you can help me now. If you stay up tonight to wait for the New Year you will want something to eat. Oh yes! Jack turned, Bob asked if he might bring his cousin over tonight. She is coming for New Year's clay and he can't very well leave her at home, and naturally he doesn't want to stay there with -her. Some young kid, most likely, he didn't have time to tell me much. Jack's lip curled, and his tone sounded so old and worldly wise that his mother quickly left the room. I think it will be very nice with another girl in the party, she told him later when they were picking out nut meats. S-ix makes a better group. And then to change the subject, Have you made your New Year's resolution yet?

You might stop saying 'gosh', his mother ventured. That's what I'm going to do. Jack rose, nodded, and smiled at his mother, and left the room to get some popcorn. Marie and Oliver, Betty and Jack were seated comfortably before the open tire, while Mrs. Bill-ings moved about to give the final touches, s-o that the young people might thoroughly enjoy the last evening of the old year. Going to make the most of it before they get here, thought Jack as he jollied with Betty. They apparently were Bob and his cousin Muriel, in ,Iack's mind. They came all too soon for him. His pal, Bob, was always ready for a new joke and had endless life -in his veins, it always seemed to Jack. It was the very characteristic that Jack loved best in him, but 'the affair with Betty in the afternoon still jarred. Mrs, Billings, my cousin Muriel, Bob was saying. Jack turned to see this young kid. Gosh, she's as old as I -am, he gasped under his breath, and after the introduction he escaped to the kitchen with his mother with the excuse -that she could not carry every- thing He felt he needed breathing space after that. So entirely unexpected you know, he muttered to his mother. I thought she was a kid. As Muriel resembled Bob in the characteristic that Jack loved, in the evening that followed he forgave his friend a dozen times over. Or rather, he forgot the incident entirely, but would have forgiven if he had been asked to. Mrs. Billings in t-he background smiled to herself at the flckleness of youth, but refused to be worried by this sudden change in affairs. She had only to remember that he was sixteen. l've never met a girl like you, Jack was saying to Muriel. Gosh, you're great, when all of a sudden he stopped. With face aghast he looked at his watch, then with a look of relief, he smiled at the girl. Do you know, he grinned, that in exactly thirty seconds we start the New Year ? E. E. F. J an. '24. Nevermore fModeled after the Ravenj Once upon a midnight dreary, I was dancing weak and weary, Trying out my dancing steps upon the shiny ball-room floor.

When a lad attains the age of nineteen and has never had a date with a girl, it is then up to some- one to give him a start, at least so thought Ma Murray. It was with this purpose in mind that she planned a party for her son Richard's nineteenth birthday. There were five children in the Murray family, three boys and two girls, but Richard wa-s by far the best looking of them all. Being a perfiect -image of his father, who had been dead two years, he was, quite naturally, -his mother's favorite. Quite naturally, too, many of the responsibilities of the household rested on his shoulders. These duties, together with his school work, did not leave him much time to think about or spend with the girls, although many of them at High School would have given anything to have a date with him. One day Mrs. Murray asked Dick if he would not like to invite four of his best boy friends to dine with him on Wednesday, june 21, at 6:30 P. M., this being 'his birthday. This pleased Dick, as it did the quartet of boys who eagerly accepted this invitation. Mother, what are we going to do after dinner? Play some baby games l suppose, asked Dick as the time for the party drew near. The boys can go home about seven-thirty, responded his mother, although she had secret plans of her own by which she intended to give them a good time. No, nothing like that mother. Can't we go to a show or play cards after dinner? interrogated her son. Anything, replied Ma, without really thinking of what, she was saying. The birthday arrived with a doubt still running in Dick's mind as to what his mother's plans were, but he never said ea word about it. At 6:15 P. M. on June 21, Roy Tu-rner, a stalwart looking youth, wiho had been captain of last year's High School football team, put in his appearance. Although two years younger than Dick, yet he was his best friend. Five minutes later John O'Brien and Tom Liner came strolling in. They were both good friends of Dick's, yet he had never felt any great affection for them. John and Tom had gone together and Richard believed in the old adage, Two's a couple and three's a crowd, and he disliked to be crowded. Come boys, your dinner is ready, announced Mrs. Murray as she came in to meet the boys. Richard looked around the room and replied, But Adolph isn't here, mother. After Ma had assured the boys that the meal could be kept warm a little while longer, they sat down and waited--and waited some more. Adolph Block, an over-grown lad, living in the farthest end of town, because ot' the fact that he was tleshy, was accustomed to 'walking slowly. Finally, however, the party was completed at 6:45 when the missing link, came stalking in all out of breath. Just as the boys were ready to go out to dinner, the doorbell rang and five of the prettiest girls in High School came in, took oil' their coats, and then went into the kitchen with Ma Murray. A minute later Dick's mother came in with the girls, to see five dumb--founded boys with their mouths wide open-staring at each other. This is my surprise, Richard, dear, laughed his mother. Now you will have something to do after din-ner. Page 53 January T H E I N D E X 1924 lllllllllllllIllllllllllllIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllIllllllllllllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllIllllltllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIlllllIIIIlllllllllIIIlHlllIIllIllllllIIllllIllllllllllllllllllllllll C It was now up to someone to match the girls to the boys. But 'Ma had seen this predicament beforeh-and and had ther plans perfected. The girls were blindfolded and told to walk around the room to where the boys were s-itting, also blindfolded. As soon as a boy was tapped on the shoulder, he was to rise, let the young 'lady have the chair, and take a standing position back of her. In this way, amid peals of laughter and much giggling, Richard and his four boy friends chose their partners for the evening. After all the girls had linished their tapping, the blinds were removed' and Rosie Lang, a pretty little blonde had Adolph, Ruth Harris was with Roy, Jane Grey had tapped john O'Brien, Charlotte McCarthy got Tom Liner, wh-ile Dorothy Allen, the prettiest girl in town and one of the many that would like to have a date with her host, picked, as luck would have it-Richard. With much chatter and laughter, the little crowd then went into the dining room that was very prettily decorated. ln the center of the table stood an immense birthday cake with nineteen li-ttle pink candles brightly burning. Dick's mother had the girls s-it -on one side of the table and their respective attendants directly opposite, with Dick at the head and Dorothy at the foot of the -table. These young m-en had, in their usual -awkward and clumsy manner, a very h-ard time seating their lady friends. However, as the dinner wore on, it w-as very evident that the boys were warming up to the occasion. How is school coming, was asked of Dick. Just fair-but I think l'll get through all right, Dorothy, he replied. Every now and then a question would come up as to what this or thaft dish was and then Ma would reply, Oh, that's Pimenfto Bisque, or Consomme Princess, or Escarole Sal-ad, just as the case might be. After the delicious dinner was over, the children, as Mrs. Murray called them, went to the living room to enjoy dancing for three hou-rs. During the llrst h-alf-hour, the boys exchanged partners for each dance, but at the end of that time, Dick stood on a chair and said, After this, he began, then a smile spread over his boyish face, After this, we will all dance with our ow-n partners, for he had become quite attached to Dot, as -he now called her. Everybody thought this a very good idea, except Rosie, who you must re- member, had the little fat Adolph. But she said she would be willing to play the Vic -meaning the Victrola. Before it was quite time to stop dancing to go home, the boys had become so interested in their l-ady friends that they were standing and sitting in couples, 'all in a sep- arate conversation. Richard, utterly forgetting this duties as ta good host, had w-andered out onto the verand-a with Dot, and for the first time in his life he realized that he was in love. At twelve o'clock the other guests left. They could not imagine where Rich-ard and Dorothy had gone. Adolph looked out of the window to see the two sitting in a swing on the front porch. They all decided to leave the two like this, and all tiptoed to the kitchen and out of the back door. After the guests had gone, Ma called, Richard! which went entirely unheeded. Then she happened to look towards the porch door which was slightly ai-ar. Tuming on her heel she went up-stairs with a broad grin on her face as she muttered to herself, Thank goodness, he has tumbled at lasti' F. MCD. January '24.

To people who have never vis-ited this city the name brings a picture of care-free people who are dancing and drinking from morning until late at night. To those who have really seen Paris as it is I suppose a different picture of what they saw comes to the mind of each, a-t least it is ta different one to me. For twelve weeks I l-ived in the Latin quarter of Paris where French and Italian artists have their studios. We stayed at trois me de la Grande chaumiere, a small, winding street which is between Boulevard Raspail and Mont Parntasse. From here I will give some of my observations of Paris. One morning u-pon going on the street about eight o'clock, I saw a very queer group of people standing in front of a studio, evidently waiting to be chosen for models. Two of'the group were women, dressed in bright colored shawls with rings in their noses as well as their ears. There was -also a man, with an immense strawberry nose, who might have been almost any nationality. Another place of interest in the Latin quarter is a beautiful park called the Luxem- bourg. It is a park which serves as a playground for French children, who are seen at all times of the day with their nurses. At the entrance of one of the gateways into the Luxembourg is a statue of four horses representing Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. A fountain is in the middle of the group of horses, and wfhen it is turned on, water sprays come out of the mouths of the animals. In another part of the gardens is a pond where boys are seen sailing tiny boats -and in sight of the pond is a fi-ne looking stone building which is the Sen-ate House. Now, to even enter this building one must have several passes, but my friend and I upon approaching one of the guards, in his red frock coat adorned with many brass buttons, were taken all through the Senate. I suppose, after our feeble attempts to speak French, the guard thought us so green that he might show and tell us anything. We saw the chair in which Victor Hugo sat, and the room where the Senate holds its sessions. On the streets of the Latin quarter, three days a week, 'the farmers display their products for sale. The sales people at each booth shout the n-ames of their products, and one simply passing through without looking at the food, would hear the names of every vegetable being shouted without understanding a word. The flower markets are open every Saturday morning, but to see the fl-owers when they are fresh, one must be up very early, and also because the flowers are sold very rapidly. One morning at flve o'clock I went through the Central Flower markets, sur Quai des Fleurs sur Ile de la Cite! I have never seen a more beautiful sight. Flowers of every color and variety were there, all arranged most artistically. When one thinks of museums, I suppose the Louvre has left the deepest impression on his mind. It is absolutely -impossible to even begin enumerating the pictures and treasures of the Louvre. The Winged Victory is of special note, not only because of itself, but because of its position in the Louvre. It is -placed at the end of ia flight of marble stairs, and as one mounts the steps and looks up towards the figure, he feels himself, too, ready for flight. The famous Mona Lisa, which was stolen by an Italian, dressed in workman's clothes, while working in the Louvre, has been received and returned. Children, whose parents drag them to the Louvre, may be found in a room in which are two marble bowls, one at each end of a long room. Two people stand at each bowl and by talking, may converse with each other because the words of one person spoken into the bowl are echoed to the next bowl. The museum Cannavatte on rue de Sevigne interested me very much. It devotes several rooms to articles used by Napoleon and to others simply used in his day. The Page 55 January T H E I N D E X 1924 IIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllillllillllllllIlllllllllllIIlllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllxllllllllllllllllllllllIlltllllllllIIIIIIIIllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Victor Hugo museum is in the house in which he lived. In it are all the articles he used besides the furniture. Victor Hugo invented a table, which, when not being used, is folded into a cupboard in the wall. The museum Cernuschi is filled with objects from China. Near this museum is Parc Monceau, and it was on rue de Monceau that ex-president Wilson and his wife lived in 1918. Le Pantheon, which is also in the Latin quarter, is very interesting. One of the most fascinating and foreign places is Montmatre, which is now a part of P-aris. As it is on the highest summit of the city, one gets a splendid view of Paris. It is like a quaint little village with narrow, wind-ing streets. The first night I w-as in Montmatre, we had dinner at the restaurant Con Con. In Montmatre live -the artists of France and, in fact, of all the nations who live rather Bohemian lives. One night, I saw an artist dressed in his blue smock, brown corduroy trousers, and a pointed cap, with a tassel. Sacre' Coeur is in Montmatre, and when one is down in the Luxembourg, he sees its white dome. ' 'Ilhe cemeteries of Paris are like an utterly different world. They are shut off' from t-he noisy boulevard by high stone walls and keepers are at the gates. To a large extent china and beaded wreaths are used more .than fresh flowers. Nlontmatre Cemetery, in the Latin quarter, is a typical one, though Pere Lachaise is one of the most famous cemeteries in Paris, as it contains the graves of the noted French authors, poets, and actors. ln it, also, is a magnificent statue representing Death. One of the queerest places I have ever seen is the Lousy Fair. It is held every Sunday morn-ing on the out-skirts of P-aris, in the open. Country people come in with everything from a shoe-lace to a bicycle. All of the articles have been used, but it is surprising how rapidly every-thing is sold. I never saw so much dirt and junk!! This fair, with its motley collection of used articles, is a little like a rummage sale. The place where the Bastille stood is marked by a statue. The Bastille was a prison where persons were often sent without a trial when they had committed some minor offense. A splendid restaurant is the Four Sargents, just across the street -from where the Bastille stood. The story of the Four Sargents is shown in two pictures outside of the restaurant. One shows the four men drinking just before the raid' and the other shows them during the raid. The Opera House in Paris is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. The marble 'in it 'is very fine and the wide stair case very impressive. There is first the Parterre, like our down stairs, then the Baignores, these are on one floor above and are boxes, :then come the Premieres Loges et Fanteuils de Balcon, then the Deuxiemes, and then the Troisieme. Above the Troisieme are seats, and back of these more seats. All the seats go around in a circle like our balcony in the United States, only they are on a much larger scale then even our largest theaters in New York. The seats in L'Opera circle around as do the seats in our American theaters. However, the circling of the seats begins at the front of the house so the circle is much larger than in our theaters. A very gay Paris is seen at n-ight. Midnight seems to be the height of merry making. One may stroll along the boulevards and hear sounds of gay music on either side of him. It is very often difficult to find a walking place on the sidewalks which are crowded with tables. Upon going into a restaurant one may get a delicious drink, see graceful performers, and enjoy a dance himself to splendid music. If one is tired of the gayaty of Paris, he may get into a coach an-d drive leisurely through the Champs -Elysees, a beautiful park, and drive where the lights of many restaurants and pavilions are seen, and where, if in formal dress, he may loiter and partake of its pleasures.

Many a northeaster has the old tree weathered and many are the changes that this old giant has seefn. As I approached the tree, an old story flashed through my mind. l recalled the old white-haired man that used to tell us stories and traditions of events that took place under this -aged oak. We used to gather about h-im, as 'he sat on the green turf, telling stories and whittling slowly at an old stick. The following story, he said, was the origin of the tree. Sly-Foot, as he was called by the whites, was a very obnoxious person. He was a cunning Indian and used his -ability in the wrong direction. His status among his tribe was much the same as that of -a weasel or skunk among all the other animals. He was constantly planning some treachery whereby some unlucky person got the blame. One day he was hunting and happened upon a beautiful -maiden from another tribe. He immediately carried her off to his own habitation. He went to his chief and asked to take her as his wife. The chief, knowing Sly-Foots reputation and dealings, in order to avoid trouble, said she should pick her own husband. She chose one of the m-ost promising looking braves, but the wedding was put off till the following id-ay. That night Sly-Foot awoke the chief and told him that the enemy were landing at the foot of a high cliff that overhung the lake. He suggested that the chief send the brave with him to watch and also to prove lhis worthiness. This the chief did and the two went out supposedly to watch for the enemy. While standing at the top of the cliff, Sly-Foot pushed his companion over the cliff to his death. The next day, when the time ca-me for the wedding ceremonies to begin, Sly-Foot was called from his lodge by an almost superhuman Indian brave, who was a stranger to his tribe. He led Sly-Foot out where the old oak now stands and said, For the great injustice you have done, l, your God of War, condemn you to suffer and endure the hard- ships of the hundreds of years to follow. Then with a wave of his hand, he changed Sly-Foot into a stout young oak. He then took the maiden and carried her off through the woods. This oak we are inow sitting under is that young sappling ot' long ago, said the old man as he ended the tale, dreamily looking off across the lake. D. Z. '24.

Pep, awakening from uneasy slumber, started at the faint rays of sunshine which danced on the ceiling and tried to -account for that turbid cond-i-tion of his nerves. Then full recollection came, his heart turned two complete so-mersaul-ts, 'beat like the 'hands on a Big Ben and sank like a heavy weight to the farthest point of his stomach. After that, he was very, very wide awake. Pep would have liked to have buried his head and gone back to sleep until-well, say five o'clock that aftemoon. For by five o'clock the big game between Amesville and Freeman would be over. But, his poor nerves would not even permit him snooze and he tumbled out of bed feeli-ng tired and listless. His bath helped him, and he found that as long as he kept his mind from the game, he could do full justice to a fine breakfast. There was a studied effort on the apart of the players to keep from the subject of football that morning. Many of the fellows appeared nervous and drawn. Others seemed to be in fine feather and laughed loud and boisterously about everything in general except -football. As for Pep, he was more silent than usual and jumped nervously at the least l'l0lSB. At eleven the assistant coach took the fellows for a walk across the fields and through the woods. This stroll served to enliven their drooping spirits and they came back refreshed in mind and sound in body. Dinner was at half-past twelve, and by one o'clock, they were in the gymn-asium ready to don their suits. Amesville and Freeman 'had been friendly enemies for four years. Each had scored two victories and each h-ad suffered two defeats. This year the dope pointed to a hard- fought game with the victory going to the team getting the breaks. The outcome of the game was in the laps of the Gods, but the Blue and White were confident of victory. The grandstands, which bordered the field on either side, were solid banks of color. On the south side, the Blue and White of Amesville reigned supreme and on the other, the Red and White of Freeman. The people were attired in gala apparel and everyone Haunted the colors of his Alma Mater. A buzz of conversation arose from the stands, where the crowd were speculating on the outcome of the game. For the most part, they were settled in their seats waiting with nervous anticipation for the game to start. The two -teams trotted out amidst thunderous applause. They passed the ball around, experimented with the breeze, and after practicing a few punts, withdrew to their respective sides of the field. A final long-drawn cheer for Amesville -from the south stand, was answered by a more thunderous one from the opposite seats, the teams lined up, the c-aptains waved their hands to the referee, and Freeman's center sent the nice new yellow ball arching away against -the sky. Pep's heart was playing funny tricks on him, it was beating like a tri-p-hammer, but in the next moment he forgot he even had one, for, forming in the wedge which protected Surrey from opposing tackles, he had his work cut out for him by keeping a Freeman forward out of the play. Half-back Surrey returned the ball to the twenty yard line before the referee called it down, .and the Amesville supporters cheered madly. Martin shrilled out the signals, the Amesville line was poising itself for the attack, and Pep, -hand-s on the ground, -feet apart, head up, was watch-ing every movement of his opponent. And simultaneously with the snapp-ing of the ball, he was lunging forward with both hands, all the muscles of his tense body behind that quick thrust, while Taylor, the ball clutched to his stomach, smashed through .and past and, stumbling, twisting, turning, pushed four y-ards of turf behind him before he was brought to the earth. Page 58 January T H E I N D E X 1924 'llllllllllllllllllllllllllIllIIIIIIIlllIlllIllllllllllIIIIillllllllIIIIlllilllllllIlllIilllllllIIllIlIIIIlIIIlllIlllllllIIIIIlllllllllIIIllllllllllIIIIlllilllllllillllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll And so it went until Amesville, taking the enemy by surprise, 'had won -her way to the thirty-seven yards. Then someone bungled the signals, and losing three yards on the second down, Harkin, the full-back, punted high and far down the Held. Pep found his opponents too much for him this ti-me and was hurled aside. Freeman caught on her thirty- four and ran back six. F Then Pep had a chance. Merrill, the renowned Freeman end, striving to draw Pep from his guard, was n-icely fooled, and Pep, swinging through inside, smeared the play well behind the line. There was a feeling of satisfaction as his arms wrapped themselves about the red-stockinged legs of that left half-back and held like vises. The fact that a hundred-and-sixty pound Freeman linesman dropped on his head did not matter a bit! It was nip and tuck for the rest of that first period. ln the second period Martin began to work the ends, sending Surrey and Taylor around the wings for small gains. Once, when Taylor, almost stopped, wriggled himself free -and d-ashed along the side-lines, the Amesville supporters jumped to their feet with happy visions of a touchdown dancing before their eyes. But Taylor was forced outside on Freeman's thirty-five yards and the yelling subsided. From there Harkin made its first down through a hole as wide as a door in the center of Freeman's l-ine, reeling off eleven y-ards before rhe was s-topped. The Red's center-rush was hurt in that play and a new man .took his place. Martin tested the new man on the next play, but Taylor was stopped. Harkin -gained four yards by plunging straight ahead from a fake kick-formation and Surrey slid off tackle for three more. Taylor was .stopped dead in his tracks on the next play and Harkin punted to the twelve yard line. A penalty for off'-side brought the ball to the seventeen yards. Freeman rounded left end for four yards, pounded Pep for three more and was stopped dead on the next -pl-ay. They punted to the center of the field. M-artin caught the ball and was downed in -his tracks. Both .teams were slowing up for the going had been fast. Surrey and Taylor hammered the line for four yards and Harkin got away round end for six more making it first down. A trick play was tried, but Martin was nailed for an eight yard loss. Harkin punted to the twenty yard line where the ball rolled out. From there, Freeman began a march toward the Blue and White goal. They hammered the l-ine for first down and then a successful pass placed the ball on the fifty yard mark. Successful smashes at the line netted twelve yards and again opening up with passes, they reached the twenty-three yard line. They failed to gain on three downs and so the Freeman fullback dropped back -and placed a perfect drop-kick between -the bars as the whistle blew for the first half. Score: Freeman, 3g Amesville, 0. The coach dealt praise and censure as he deemed it necessary. Then he inquired for injuries 'and saw to it that none of his men were -in a bad condition. He called Martin aside and gave him instructions, telling him to play certain plays and where to play them. Then as the time drew near for going on the field he called the fellows together. Fellows, he said, you've played a fine game so far. You've prevented them from crossing your goal line, and though they have scored a drop-kick, the game will go to the team who scores a touch-down this half. You are 'going good' and you should feel proud for you are facing a team which is every bit as good as any the Red and White has produced. But, from now on you -have to get punch out there. You backfield men are not helping the line the way you should. Don't wait for the runner to reach you. Go and meet him. And when you tackle, leave them in two pieces. You're not playing ping pong. You're out there to play football. Get a little more drive in there. When you hit a man, hit him so he stays down. And linemen, after you take out your man, don't stand around twiddling your thumbs. Get another man off his feet. And l don't want to see any more fumbling. If you can't hang to that ball, I'll put in somebody that can. That's all, except that when you come back here again l want to see you at the tall end of that score.

Captain Martin of Amesville settled the ball on the mound of earth and stepping forward, punted the ball way down the fleld. The second 'half was on and the game remained to be decided. The Freeman quarterback made -a frantic attempt to catch the -ball, but failed and an Amesville forward fell on the ball on the thirty yard mark. The Amesville backs carried the ball to the sixteen yard and Harkin threw a seven yard pass -to Surrey, who was downed in his tracks. Taylor slid off tackle for three and Harkin made Hrst down through the center of the l-ine. They were directly in front of the goal with flve yards to make in four downs. Amesville went crazy and cries of Touchdown! Touchdown! Touchdown! thundered from the south stand. Taylor was sent at right tackle, but there was no hole there and he lost a yard. Hark-in produced less than two feet at right -guard and Surrey gained a meager yard around end. Harkin fell back for a drop-kick and the stands quieted as they anxiously waited the out- come. But the pass -from center was low, and Harkin was nailed for a fifteen yard loss. The Blue and White flags which had been waving so hopefully sank deiectedly. Successive attempts failed and Harkin punted to the Hve yard line. Freeman failed to gain and -punted to fmid-field. The ball was on Feeman's forty-six yards. Taylor, on a delayed pass, made three outside left tackle, and Surrey got away for seven and first down. Surrey again got free around the left of the Red's line and reeled off six -more 'before he was tackled. He was hurt and Johnson took his place. He at once distinguished himself by breaking straight through the Freeman right guard for the tlrst down on the twenty-five yard line. lt seemed as if nothing could stop the sweeping offense that the Amesville backs had uncorked and Freem-an's line was growin-g weak from such a furious attack. The end of the period sounded as Johnson was stopped for a yard. Martin, acting under the coach's instructions, now opened his bag of tricks. A long pass from punt-formation brought the Blue and White supporters leaping to their feet, for Edmond nabbed it out of the air a-nd raced stra-ight toward the goal-line. Only the fact that he slipped near the ten yard line saved a score. Th-is brought the enemy down on h-i-rn and he was stopped nine yards from goal. Amesville -pleaded for and implored a touchdown. Harkin was hurled against the desperate red line and made a scant two yards. Again came a bewildering trick play, and a delayed pass to Taylor followed by a short lateral pass to Johnson netted two more. It was .third down now, with five to go. From both sides of the gr-idiron came the imploring shout of the rival rooters. Amesville chanted Touchdown! Touchdown! and Freeman hoarsely begged her team to Hold 'em, Free- man! Hold 'em! And Freeman held them! Martin, wishing six points instead of three, deigned to dispense with kicking and risked all on a forward pass. Edmon-d managed to get free back of the posts, but Martin's pass went wild and Freeman fell on the ball for a touchback. I Six minutes still remained, and the Blue -and White, who did not know the meaning of the word quit, began again with new courage. Freeman played desperately and was soon at the center of the Held. Their offense was working Hne, and with short passes and wide end runs, they worked their way down the field. But at the forty yard line the Red's advance was checked and Free-man was forced to punt. Martin caught near the twenty-five yards and again the long journey toward the distant goal-line began. Lateral passes, forward passes, delayed plays, and cutbacks, all were used and all gained, while the Amesville backs covered the ground to the goal I-ine. Past the center Page 60 January T H E I N D E X 1924 llllllllllllllllllllIIllllllllllIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllIIIllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllIllIIIIlllllllllIIllllllllllllIIIIIIIlllllIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllIllIIIIIIIIIIIllIIlllllllIIIIllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllll of the fleld rolled -the Blue and White, past the forty yards, past the thirty. Freeman fought gamely for every inch, but slowly and surely, they were being pushed back. On the thirty yards, Martin opened up with spread plays. Oblique and lateral passes from center dazed the Freeman team, and, although the Freeman back-Held came to the rescue of the tired forward w-all, the gains came consistent and grew longer -and longer. On the eight yards now, the Blue and White again threatened to score. Pep, with a swoll-en eye and disfigured face, watched his opponent as Martin yelped the signals. Four downs to make eight yards and but one minute to do it in. He pushed and wrenched, and aga-in Johnson, ripping like -a wildcat, smashed past him. Pep fol- lowed through and saw Johnson, tackled, but still fighting, drag himself on and on. Then the unexpected happened. Ball I The shout came frantically from the mass of players and Pep saw the ball, squeezed from the half-back's arms, bound into the air. Pep followed the ball as it rolled eratically across the grid-iron, and then he was on -it, and tucking it in his arms, was plunging toward the goal-line, but a scant six yards away. A Freeman .man tackled him, but wrenching a leg free, he pushed forward an-other yard. Arms pinioned him and it seemed as though he were 'bearing a ton of weight with him. Then with a shock his legs col: lapsed from under hi-m and he was thrown to the ground. With one 'last effort of his weary body, he stretched out his arms -as far as they would reach and fastened on to the ball with hands of glue. And that was the last he knew. When he opened his eyes he was being splashed with water from a big, smelly sponge and he beheld the coach's eyes peering down into Ihis. What is -it? he asked dtazedly. It's a touchdown, my boy! A touchdown by a bare three inches! And it's all over for another year. G. W. H. '2.4. A Tragedy You ask me how I aged so quickly, Why my hair is now so gray? A dread ordeal has left me sickly, Happening in a single day. I went to town to do some shopping Wishing to return home soon. I did some hopping to finish that shopping, Nor do I remember stopping Once that cold, ill-fated noon. Exhausted from my weary walking, Walking fast from store to store, Wearied from the salesmen's talking. Walking thought I, finally bulking, Shall I walk home? Nevermoref' That day a storm was fiercely raging, My bad luck star's my folly starg For while the elements war were waging, This was the cause of my terrible aging, I waited for a trolley car.

Then those that were good shall be happy: They shall sit on a chair of ease g They will gaze at all their new teachers with never a quiver of knees, They shall have new books to study-Galey, Bartel, and Hall g They will sit for hours studying and never be tired at all!

We expect, of course, that this new year of 1924 will have many events and possible changes in store for us, and it is in anticipation of a few of them that these lines are written. For several years a change in the Index has been being considered by -the staff mem- bers and their advisers, but up till now because of the exceedingly high prices of labor and materials, this 'plan was not thought advisable. Just now it is being given serious thought, and there is a possibility of its being inaugurated in the semester commencing February, 1924. If so, the Index will become a weekly publication and there will also be semi-annuals covering both semesters of the school year. A weekly paper of this type presents 'many advantages, chief of which is the freshness of school news. Many times athletic games, debates, and meetings of organizations are two months old before the Index covering them is issued, By that time of course all interest in them is practically destroyed. It is sincerely believed that this change will be advantageous to the Index as well as conformable to -the wishes of the student body. One of the main events in the near 'future is graduation, to which each student in the Senior A class is looking forward with mingled joy and sadnessg with pleasure because of the four years work well accomplished, with sorrow for the loss of the companionships there gained. Although a small class, it is well represented on the Index staff, in athletics, school clubs, and dramatics. Next semester in each of these departments their absence will be keenly felt. Therefore, the Index, in behalf of the Oshkosh High School, cordi-ally wishes the members of the Graduating Class of January, 1924, success and joy in their new wiork. The Index hopes that the members -of the class will do their best to attend the High School Alumni reunions, which are held annually, and thus renew old friendships and help the alumni association to carry on its work successfully. May your motto Forward Ever Forward guide you to success and happiness. Page 63 January T H E I N D E X 1924 llllllllllIIIIlllllllllIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllIllllllllllIIIIlllllllllIIIIIllllllllIIIIlllllllllIllIlllllllll'IIIIllllllllllIllllllllllllIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllli Class Mottos It has long been the custom for the graduating classes to choose their class mottos, colors, 'and flowers just previ-ous to the time of graduation. This year the Senior B students selected their motto, colors, and flowers when they entered in September. This leaves an en-tire year in which to follow and live up to the cl-ass motto. Members of the faculty have recommended a course such as this for some time, and it is to be hoped that the other classes will follow in the Senior B's example and choose theirs before the time comes for graduation. There are several points in favor of this change. The class motto, if it is to mean anything -to the class or serve as a guide for them, should be chosen whe-n the class flrst enters the school. Then the class has this ideal to live by. Thus, when the time comes to leave school, these students will depart with a motto that has been tried and put to practice for four years and not one newly adopted, untried, and unmerited. Furthermore, it would be a source of pleasure to the classes that had chosen their colors and flowers early in their school career, for, in times of class events and class parties the hall coul-d be trimmed in class colors and the class flower could be worn by the students. The change would, without doubt, prove most satisfactory in every way. A Prodigy ? It was many and many a year ago, I entered the Oshkosh High. A Freshie I was, as you may know, And as green as green could be g And this Freshie he lived with no other thot Than to learn and be classed as a prodigy. This resolve has changed since long ago, Ifs very plain to see, For my marks are rating now Around the seventy-three. Yes, that is the reason fnow you knowj Why I am not a prodigy. D. Z. January '24.

It was thought at first that Oshkosh, Omro, Fond du Lac, and Plymouth would be entered, but when the team 'arrived at Fondy, they found Waldo, Chilton, and Plymouth. The judging was all don-e at the farms of some of the most prominent promotors of stock in Fond du Lac County. The classes of stock were fine, some animals being champions of their respective classes. There were five classes of animals to judge-Duroc jersey hogs, Guernsey and Holstein cattle, sheep fmixedj, and horses fmixedl. When the scores were figured out, it was found that Oshkosh had lost to Chilton by a very slight margin. Waldo was third, and Plymouth, who was thought to be a strong competitor, fourth. This is the flrst time Oshkosh has been beaten for a number of years. On December 13, the agricultural class went to E. P. Sawyer's farm to judge a class of' Guernseysg the winlner to receive -a necktie presented by The Continental. Winfield Walters showed the best work and won the tie. Mr. O'Neil, Mr. B-ishop, and Mr. Gehrend accompanied the boys to Sawyer's to watch them iudge, and also to look at the fine stock in the Sawyer herd. Mr. Gehrend, who is state director of vocational agriculture, expl-ained the various placings of' the animals. . Glnmmrrrial Work in the Commercial Department is at its highest point. For two weeks the S. A Shorthand class has been studying office practice which h-as proved most interesting and helpful. It is in the typing classes, though, where excitement and flurry reigns. The Senior classes have done a large amount of' w'ork for other departments of the school and have become familiar with the making of copies-both carbon and mimeograph. A part of' the remaining month will be spent in making legal forms -and papers. As there is only one month left for speed tests, every one is working to get at least one more award before the semester is over.

He has written 550 words, without an error, in -ten minutes on a Remington typewriter. On the December test five students in the S. A. class have written over fifty words a minute for fifteen consecutive minutes on the Underwood machine. For this the Underwood Company will award the following wi-th bronze medals and bars: Ruby R-and, Robert Lewis, Hilda Augustine, Margaret Loscher, Elinor E. Falk. Card cases were won by: Efrna Loewen, Dorothy Zentner, Alice Phillipson. Certificates will be aw-arded to: Margaret Will, Helen Sm-all, Beatrice Hebel, Helen Zuehlke, Margaret Marx. Robert Lewis, the valedictorian of the graduating cl-ass, is a commercial student. Three other commercial students are on the Honor Roll: Margaret Loscher, Norman Geffers, and Elinor E. Falk. Th-is makes four of the six Honor students from our department. THE S. A'S MESSAGE TO THE REMAINING COMMERCIAL STUDENTS For two long years we have labored At shorthand and typing, too, Now at last we have finished, And we leave the field to you. Baath Strhnnl' As the end of this semester draws near, most of' the classes are finishing things which were started early in the year. In the woodturning department the boys are making pedestals, candle sticks, table lamps, bridge lamps, floor lamps, boudoir lamps, and fruit and nut bowls. Man-y of the boys finished these articles and gave them as Christmas gifts. The boys in the machine shop are continuin-g the exercises of chipping and Bling. Small tools, such as wrenches, hammers, nail sets, screw drivers, woodworking vices, machinist vices, and bench grinders are being made. ' As the boys in the electrical department have finished 'the exercise work for this semester, they ane beginning project work. Some of the things to be made are electric heaters, electric grills, lamps, motors, storage battery chargers, an-d radio sets. As most boys are interested in radio, many of them are going to make their own sets. Printing Aptly termed the modern educational tool printing has proved to be one of our most popular departments this year. Printer's pi is certainly not unknown to the classes, for the shop was for many weeks the scene of slow an-d tiresome work sorting and distributing type. The rush of a print shop has been felt at many times during the year, the first big job being the directory of the public schools of Oshkosh, completed a few weeks after school opened. Practicallfy all the printing for the Oshkosh public schools is done here. These jobs make excellent exercises in composition and -press work for the studen-ts. Page 66 January T H E I N D E X 1924 IllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIll!IlllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIHlllllllll With the shortage of equipment and materials, the pa-tience of the printers has often been tested, but the satisfaction that has come with seeing the completed job has offset all unpleasant memories of it. Plans are underway for publishing a sixteen pa-ge monthly magazine. This venture combined with the school job work will keep the printers busy. Printing also plays an important part in citizenship training, because it assists the student in a thorough preparation for earning a living. Not only does it train the student's mind, but his hand and heart as well. It is pretty well admitted that the way to learn is to do -things practically. From this fact the printers -have worked out their slogan The Department where Students Learn by Doing. Cooking The girls of the Sophomore Cooking Classes are to give a series of lun-cheons to the women teachers of High and Beach schools during the month of January. The Freshman sewing classes have been making a thorough study of the cotton industry and cotton materials. This -included illustrated ftalks and th-e study of characteristics and uses of standard cotton -materials. They are now beginning their Hnal lproblem, the making of a cotton dress. The Sophomore girls are making wash dresses of linen or linen finish materials. The Junior and Senior classes are now making silk dresses of various loinds. The Sewing Department, as a whole, is making wool jumper suits for fthe children of the Fresh Air School. The Deserted Auburn With Apologies to Goldsmith Sweet Auburn, loveliest new car of the town, Where wealth and plenty has been spent by a clown, Where smiling friends their earliest visits paid And at parting summer the lingering friends delayed. Dear stupid clown of innocence and ease, Send away your friends whom every sport can please, How often have I loitered o'er thy green Where long country trips endeared each scene, How often have I paused on every charm, On your sweet Auburn, but l've done it no harm. These were her charms when she was new, But Now-- Sweet speeding Auburn, once the loveliest of the town, Amidst the cushions the hands of friends are seen. And dirty color darkens all her green, The friends have fled and all her charms withdrawn, To another clown with a green Auburn on the lawn. Margaret Poeschl. Page 67 0 I Ubi-.

Miss Brennen, whose home is in Indiana and who is a graduate of the Chicago University, will take his place. Anne Rockwell has withdrawn from school and is spending the w-inter with her mother in Los Angeles, where she will attend the Intermediate High School. Vera Krutchman injured her knee-c-ap after leaving the gymnasium. Jane and Bobby Brauer of Neillsville, are attendi-ng school here pending the recovery of their mother -and brother from scarlet fever. Oliver Drahn fell down and broke his foot. He is recovering rapidly. Lyle Pritchard has withdrawn from school to spend the winter in Florida. The students and faculty enjoyed two days vacation, November twenty-ninth and thirtieth, as a Thanksgiving recess. Students who fa-il in more than two subjects in one mon-th are given the opportunity to join the Sunshine Class which is held in 307 and 305 every d-ay from three-thirty-five until four-forty-five. The purpose ot' this is to raise the scholarship standard of the school, and to 'help the students to catch up in their work. Six members of' Miss Holford's and Mr- Johns-on's classes took part in an interclass debate recently. The question was: Resolved, that the U. S. should join the League of Nations. Genevieve Burr, Howard Praeger, and Marshall Weed upheld the affirm-ativeg while Lawrence Drews, Mild-a Hilk-e and Herbert Gunz upheld the negative. The former won. The judges were Miss Knight, Mr. O'Neil, and Mr. Feldman. As it has been the custom for years, the graduat-ing class is presenting to the school a memorial in the form of a cabinet in which the school's trophies may be kept. The Senior A class has chosen orchid and s-ilver for the class colors and orchid sweet peas for their flowers. Forward ever Forward was selected for the motto of the class. Grace Gilson wrote the words of the class song and Mary Gamble composed the music. The S. A class 'held its banquet with the Alu-mni at the Century Club. The class phophecy written by Elinor Falk and Reginald Bemis was given very humorously. The history of the class was then read by Helen Crary while Theodore Frentz acted as toast- master. The class was then invited to join the dancing until one o'clock- Heretofore the High School has not been able to keep a record of the deportment of the different students. It has now the machinery and equipment with which to accomplish this. There will be a card in the office for ea-ch student in the school which will give ia record of his behavior during his four years in the High School. If his record is up to standard, he will be qualified to graduate with his class.

Santa must have dropped his pack at each house. Freshmen Girls' Party - On November 23, 1923, under the supervision of the new Physical director, Miss Baranowsk-i, the girls of the different divisions of the Freshmen class, gave a program, to wh-ich their parents were cordially invited. The program opened with an overture by the school band, followed by figure march- ing, which was very pleasing, and in w-hich the pupils of all classes took part. The next number, was dumb-bell exercises, given by the members of the fourth hour class. There was folk-dancing, which was learned this semester, given by the girls of the second hour class. Marching tactics were performed by the girls of the sixth hour class. Members of all classes showed their talent on the apparatus, some climbing the ropes, while others presented entertaining exercises in broad-jumping, and high-jumping. The eighth hour class played games which were very interesting, and amusing to the audience. Last, but not least, was -a volley ball game, played by the second and fourth hour girls versus the sixth and eighth hour girls. The game was short enough so that it was not monotonous, but also long enough to hold an attentive audience, and to show the parents of the girls of the Oshk-osh High School what excellent training their children were receiving in their gymnasium work. Senior Girls Welcome Freshmen Much credit and many thanks are due to the girls of the Senior class, who gave a Welcome Party for the Freshman girls on November the sixteenth. When the Freshmen entered the gymnasium, each girl was handed a slip of paper on which she wrote her name- This slip was pinned on her back, and then she was chosen as a partner by a Senior girl. The partners were given a small paper upon which was a subject for a live-minute conversation. This was an excellen-t arrangement, as it eliminated any possibility of wall flowers. A program was arranged for the benefit of the Freshman girls. Mary Gamble gave a very artistic musical selection by Theodore Lack entitled Sorrentia. Bernice Segal gave a very amusing dialogue called Leetle Georgia Washington. She responded to an encore by giving a monologue, which was likewise amusing and showed her talent for that kind of work. An original pantomime was given which greatly pleased the guests. lt was entitled The Knockout. The cast consisted of the following: The Girl ................................ ...Ethel jackson The Poet ...... ..... M orton Cundy The Knockout. . . .... james Dunham The Musician .... ,,,, H oward Reed The Maid ............................................. Ruth Pynch When the program was completed, the girls danced for a short time. Then each girl was supplied with a Utaffy-apple as refreshment, after which an interesting game, Jerusalem and Jericho was played. This concluded the party. The pleasant memories of their first high school party, and the delightful entertainment which their elder sisters gave them will long be remembered by the Freshman girls.

Out of sixteen the following were picked: Glenn Heywood, Ted Cardiff, Raymond Peterson, Kirt Montgomery, Harry Meyer, Herbert Gumz, Ben Lehnigk, and Lewis Magnusen. The coaches are Mr. Feldman, Mr. Molstad, and Mr. Johnson. They all agree that there is line material and a fine prospect for an excellent debating year for the Osfhkosh High School. The calendar which was issued by the Index this year was a very excellent one and proved a fin-ancial success as well. The pictures on all the pages were sketches drawn by Edward Morton, Morton Cundy, and Erwin Radtke. These drawings were well-made and much credit is due to the three boys. With each calendar sold a vote was given which a student might cast for his choice of the most representative boy or girl. The students nominated for the most representative boy and girl contest were, Geo. Hotchkiss, Burt Johnson, and Glenn Heywood for the boys, and Jane Fuller, Ruth Kaufman, and Lydia Ransom for the girls. The final election brought out Glenn Heywood as the most refresentative boy and Lydia Ransom as the most representative girl. A chart was placed in the hall which showed the number of calendars sold by each room. Room 301, consisting of junior B's, went over the 12541, mark first and a Senior room was a close second. The students showed fine school spirit and put the thing across very satisfactorily. ff' 'H 4 Ffh 4 r he bg'PKu'iZn'a0fG' 0 A I 109 4, Y 0 -2' ' - o vc . 2 1, ql g T jfiftsiipieggrii Page 73 January T H E I N D E X 1924 llllillllIllllllllllllIIlllllllllllllIlllillllilllllllllllIIIIIIlIlllllllllIIIIllllllllIlllllllllllIIHIIIIIHillllllllllllIllllilllllIIlllllllIIllIIlIlllllIIIIIllIIIIlllllIllIllllllllIllIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll .V 9 1 , li fe Z 6 lllnmlom ' 2? Alumni An Alumni banquet was held at the Twentieth Century Club, December 26, at six-thirty. Although all the graduates from 1912 to J une, 1923, were invited, yet there were only about two hundred present. After the banquet there was a short program which consisted largely of musical selections by various graduates and then dancing was in order until eleven o'clock. A regular Alumni Association was formed of which Hoyt Favour '23, was elected president. The S. A's decided to have their banquet w-ith the Alumni, but to have a separate pro- gram. The reading of the class history by Helen Crary and of the class prophecy by Reginald Bemis and Elinor Falk completed the program. There are one hundred and nineteen graduates from the Oshkosh High School attend- ing the Oshkosh Normal School now. These include graduates of the classes from, 1917 to June, 1923. Bauer Bullinger '21 has made one of the debate squads at the University. Chester Seftenberg '22, and George C-hristens-on '22, have made the debating team at Lawrence. Ralph Gates and Robert Forward '18 took a very interesting trip through the West this summer on motorcycles. They are writing an account of their experience in the Normal Advance. Sarabelle Beardmore, '20, is teaching at Waterloo, Wisconsin. Margaret Parker, '20, and Elaine Nussbaum, '20, -are teaching at Madison, Wisconsin. Arloene Helm, '22, -is teaching at Allenville, Wisconsin. Gladys Algers, '21, is teaching at Marshfield, Wisconsin. Mrs. Marie Waterhouse McCray, a graduate of the Oshkosh High School, died on December 25.

'hi tt? l . XS X: K . ll ,... ' rhangva This is Station I-N-D-E-X, -broadcasting from Oshkosh High School, Oshkosh, Wis- consin, U. S. A. The first number on this evening's program is a selection from the Tattler from North Division High School of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Hi! Gimmie a handful of waste I hmvled- I was under the auto to grease it, But Hi had an arrnful of waist in the car, And wasrft disposed to release it- As you know, the Tattler is one of our old stand-bys, always to be relied upon for clever write-ups in every department. The next thing on the schedule tonight is a cute little ditty from the Flambeau from Marquette High, also of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, entitled a Brave Boy. He ran o'er the placid lake Did my brother Dick, He did and thafs no fake 0'er ice but three feet thick. The Flambeau,,' dear listeners, can always be depended upon for its share of literary work and high class humor. lt is to be congratulated upon establishing a photography department. The third number this evening will be an interesting bit of logic: At six she made mud pies and got her hands dirty g At twenty-six she made mud packs and got her face dirty. This saying is from The Spy , which as you know, is a very entertaining magazine from Kenosha, Wisconsin, and -it goes on to ask: V Why is it that a load ot' freight on a ship is a cargo and a load ot' freight on a car is a shipment? The Forum from Senn High ot' Chicago will now present its part in the program. Listen- ' Page 75 January T H E I N D E X 1924 llllllllllllllllllllIlllllIllllllllllIllIllllllllIIIIlllllllIlllIIllllllllIllllllllllIIlllIlllllllIlllIlIIllllllllIlllllllllllIllllllllllllIllllllllllIIlllllllllllIlllllllIlllllllilllllllllllllllIIIllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllll Sympathizer: My good man, you had beter take the trolley home. Weathered One: Shno ushe, my wife wouldn't let me keep it in the house. The Forum has many varied and appropriate cuts and photos, and its literary depart- ment is beyond criticism. The Clarion of Appleton, Wisconsin, which is a good all around peppy magazine, contributes this bit of startling news from a set of history test papers: Greek architecture was the things such as poetry, epic, prose and other kinds of poetry. That Greek art was huge, massive nothing prettty about it. The Arrow, a classy little magazine full of clever original ideas and enlightening editorials, came all the way from Midland, Pennsylvaania, just to say: Woodman, wreck that tree Spare not a single bough Its switches once thrashed me Fm gonna get even now. Another clever bit is the following from the Enicar from Racine, Wisconsin. This magazine is well-written and is worth reading from cover to cover. It is rather small which may be the reason for quoting its presentation infantlike- I have a little dog named Difo Had 'im ever since he pas a wup, He can stand upon 'is lind hegs If you hold 'is lont fregs up. The Skirmisherl' from Bordentown, N. J., is a soldiers' magazine in every sense of the word and gives us this little poem to broadcast: The doctor fell into the well He broke his collar-bone. The doctor should attend the sick And leave the well alone. The final number on this evenings program will be given by one of our very best exchanges-namely the Cherry and White from Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
