GUNDERSON f NNA DOUGLASS THE FACULTY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL In our debating and in our joking And they clapped at each new stunt Till our stunts were all exhausted Then we started Contest work. Searching everywhere for pieces Then we drilled and drilled and drilled Till on Thursday, March the third, We did hold our local Contest , And the winners, Roy and Mona Met the winner from the valley For each tribe along the River Sent their winners to our city Sent with them the chief supports To cheer and help their tribe to win. They were sent from Muscoda, Spring Green, From Richland Center and Avoca And from Lone Rock to Prairie du Chien. To the school that won the contest Should be given a brilliant banner Banner bright in red and gold. Oh! the wildness of the cheering That tore asunder the night-air When after the declamations Prairie’s people led the race. Joyfully we placed the banner, The bright banner in our High School Where each day we see this banner Banner won for P. D. C. After contest we devoted much of time and energy, To produce a High School play. To present it to the people. Then a tennis court was marked out Where the girls did strive for honors. In the few weeks more remaining We’ll have base ball Saturdays. The Juniors, too, will give their banquet Then our grave and reverend Seniors Take their leave of this, their High School. After that the year is finished. All that’s left of this our school year Are the memories each one holds Of the things of nine and ten. Ij a i 0 w 0 As one who sails the ocean to some distant sunny land I cross the sea of mem’ry till in ecstacy I stand-On the silent shores of fancy, my eyes again behold The forms of friends once dearest—some now dust and cold. I think I hear the school bell and see the fellows wait To throw the ball a block away then come in slightly late; And mingling with the blazes that in the fireplace rise I see the frown that greets them as they try to show surprise. I see among the shadows that flicker on the wall The faces of the teachers, and as thev rise and fall I wonder if they’re wrinkled, and if their hair is gray, Or have they gone to join the dead to sleep till Judgment Day. I see again the Glee Club, and close my eyes and hear The songs that were the sweetest, and to me are ever dear; And while I sit and listen, a moisture fills my eye And I vainly wish for the thousandth time, that our school days would never die. But ah! those days have vanished and never shall return Those friends are gone forever-numbered among God’s own; But until I’ve crossed the river to the silent realm of death, Their memory shall be with me, and cherished as my breath.

HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL J tut 10 r a PROLOGUE. |With apologies to Edgar Allen Poe.| See the Juniors-with their books, little books. What a world of wisdom shines in their looks Ho v they sparkle, sparkle, sparkle, in the recitation room. While the Freshmen stop to listen, and the Sophomores eyes do glisten In the wish to be there soon: Working hard, hard, hard—that at last upon the card They may win themselves a standing which no opposition brooks: From their books.—books,—books,—books, books, books,—- From the studying and the grinding at .their books. We start with a strong student so studious. Who never is doubtful nor dubious. She learns every lesson And never skips a session. This lass with a laugh not lugubrious. A boy? Yes, a bit of a bucker. Not a toy, you can tire or tucker. But a grand, great old grind, With a mighty fine mind Is this pupil, whom no puzzles can pucker. Then, a girl, who will gradually grow To be something neither small, nor yet slow, A treat to the teachers, A credit to creatures A favorite—a friend—with no foe. There is one, whom the rest all call Ruth, With a zest for hard things, that's the truth. We pass over the palm To this creature so calm But we wish she’d speak louder, forsooth. Now comes a maiden with much of a mind Of whom, there is just one of that kind. She drives to distraction Herself—by her action And thinks—MAYBE she will soon be a grind. Then there’s Clara, a light lithesome lass Who is probably puzzled to pass. But her fortune’s her face And she’s gifted with grace, Though she says “can’t” continually in class. Now, mark yon fair maiden, named Martner, In whom pupils e’er prove a good partner. For she works with a will. And finds she can fill Any office, this maiden, named Martner. But Bertha? whom some be-name “Buster” Always manages some good friends to muster. She is pale and petete, With fairy-like feet. Which walk—sans bluster—sans fluster. There is also a bluffer—a boy, Who jollies a bit—just for joy. He is hearty and hale Never pining nor pale This robust and rollicksome Roy. Now a last Apostrophe to Anna Who sings in the Glee Club, soprano, Her smile is so sweet— Her dress is so neat— We are proud of this Junior, named Anna. So the class as a whole we’ll now toast. There’s not one of these meant for a roast. But in making a rhyme Words come not always in time— So the jingles are halting—at most. • PRAIRIE DU CHIEN iCttrrary. LYCEUM. In the fall of ’09, our Literary Society, the Lyceum, was re-organized and officers chosen. The following were elected: President Secretary Censor Program Committee Music Committee Jessie Atchison Esther Harding Roy Hurley Minnie Hurlbut Ida Martner Mona Wagner Helen Wallin Kate Gronert May Stehr The aim of the Society has been to give each member of the school an opportunity to appear before the public, that they might speak more fluently and with less restraint than they otherwise eoula. During the first semester, the meetings were held every week, giving every student of the High School the opportunity to take part. The entertainments usually began with songs by the school, and were followed by roll call answered with quotations by the students, declamations, music, current events, debates, idiotorials and farces. The interest in this work has been apparent and each has done the part assigned him to the best of his ability. Each meeting has been a success, partly due perhaps to the large audiences in attendance. May it ever progress! LOCAL CONTEST. On the evening of March 3rd, the local contest was held at the Metropolitan. There was a large audience in attendance. The program was as follows: Music Appollo Orchestra Florence Ziel Mayme Cecka Helen Wallin “Exigencies of Etiquette” “The White Swan” “Sammy’s Night Ride” Piano Duet Edith Speck and Frieda Boeckh The Sign of the Cross” Mona Wagner “The Lance of Kanana” Minnie Hurlbut Song . --------------- Glee Club “The Traitor’s Deathbed” Joe Schwartz “Jean Vnl Jean and the Bishop” ---- . - - Roy Hurley “Quo Vadis” Song “Toussaint L’Overture” “The Prisoner’s Plea” Music Yells and Songs. Elmer W’achter Glee Club Don Keller Francis Haipin Apollo Orchestra DECISION OF JUDGES. In the Girls’ Contest Mona Wagner was awarded first place and Helen W’allin, second. Roy Hurley won first place in the Boys’ Contest and Francis Haipin, second. The Judges were Miss Adams, elocutionist of St. Mary’s Academy; Mr. Rienow, El-kader; Mr Dimmitt, McGregor. W. V. O. L. CONTEST. Mona W'agner and Roy Hurley represented our school at the final contest held in Prairie du Chien March 18th. Winners were sent from Spring Green, Avoca, Mus-coda, Richland Center and Lone Rock, attended by a number of delegates. The HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Judges were Mr. Doty, of Madison, Mr. Rounds, of Whitewater, and Mr. Rice, of Madison. Following is the result of their decision: Girls. Boys 1st, Muscoda 1st, Richland Center 2nd, Prairie du Chien 2nd, Prairie du Chien 3rd, Richland Center 3rd, Muscoda There was a tie between Muscoda, Richland Center, and Prairie, but by the highest percentage, Prairie High School won the day. “Excelsior,” after a year’s absence, was again unfurled in the Main Room. THE HIGH SCHOOL PLAY. The play “The Merchant of Venice Up to Date”, tendered by the pupils of the High School on April 23rd, was a great success. Every one acted his part in a most satisfactory way, considering the short amount of time spent in preparation. The credit of the success is due, not only to the pupils who took part, but to Mr. Gunderson and the other High School teachers, who used every effort to make it a success. A fairly good audience attended, although the weather was very unfavorable. The receipts were given to the Athletic Association of the High School. The Cast was as follows: The Duke of Venice _ Joe Schwartz Antonio, A Senior, Captain of High School Football Team Elmer Wachter Bassanio, his friend and suitor to Portia ____________________________Don Keller Gratiano, another friend Elmer Herold Shylock, a wealthy gambler Roy Hurley Tubal, his friend and Captain of Boscobel Football Team. .... Fred Bruchman Launcelot Gobbo, servant to Shylock ___ _____________Colonel Thompson The Professor, an X-Ray photographer _________________________ Wm. Welsh Policeman _ _ George Jones Portia, a rich heiress _____ Mona W’agner Nerissa, her friend Mertie Griesbach Jessica, Shylock’s ward Bertha Brown Miss Abbie S. Threedice, a teacher_____ ____________ Katharine Gronert Polly, Portia’s maid and Antonio’s mother ......................... .Ella Wetzel Mrs. Gobbo, Launcelot’s mother ..................... Mamie Cecka Football Players High School Boys The specialties. The Midgets, Song by High School Glee Club, Swing Song, Girl’s Quartette, The Goops, and the Boola Song were very interesting and were appreciated by the audience. SYNOPSIS OF “THE MERCHANT OK VENICE, UP TO DATE.” Shakespeare’s immortal and familiar “Merchant of Venice,” as re-written for presentation in our twentieth century, varies little in the general outline of its plot from the original. The play opens with a conversation between Antonio, Bassanio and Gratiano, in which Bassanio confesses his love for Portia, the rich heiress of Belmont, and tells his companions of the condition by which she may be won, i. e., the choice of one of three caskets and the passing of the Latin examination, contained therein, with an average of ninety-five per cent! Bassanio is a Senior with four years of Latin behind him, but not in his head, so Antonio, the captain of their football team, rents for him one “pony” from Shylock, a former player on the Boscobel team, giving as security “one pound of his fair hair to be cut off nearest the brain.” Following this, is the scene between Portia and her friend Nerissa, in which Nerissa overnames che suitors and Portia describes them, thus affording an opportunity for many local hits. While they are still talking Bassanio and Gratiano are announced by a very up-to-date maid, Polly. Another addition to the original dramatis personae is the “school marm,” Miss Abbie S. Threedice, under whose eagle-eyed supervision the victim soon has to take his examination, or rather copy from his “pony.” PRAIRIE DU CHIEN Presumably, while he is struggling with Caesar, and hearing the wonders of the twelfth legion lauded by the preceptress, old Shylock is trying to persuade his young ward, Jessica, to marry him, but she naturally refusas, for the light-haired foot ball captain has already won her heart. Shylock finally locks her into the house, but Launce-lot Gobbo rescues her by taking a note to Antonio, who soon comes and after making a “center smash” through the door, frees the prisoner. Needless to say, in the excitement of passing his examination, Bassanio forgets to return the pony, so, as the boys line up for their big Thanksgiving game, Shylock comes in with a very modern looking policeman, and takes Antonio to court. In the court room scene Portia comes to the rescue as Antonio’s hair is about to be sacrificed under Shylock’s scissors, not with the warning “no drop of blood,” but with an X-ray professor, who, having care fully turned the search-light on Antonio’s head, finds nothing which can be called a brain, so the bond is void, and Shylock lea es, defeated. Lancelot Gobbo, in the meantime, lets a mouse escape and Portia and Nerissa. not stopping to think, leap wildly onto chairs, thus disclosing their identity, and winning applause for their actions.

This is the school house where the children come to work and play. Why is that small fence about the yard? That is to keep the young grass off from the walks and the bushes, too, might leave. See those poles and iron rings far over in the yard. That is where the little girls play (?) basket ball. Those white lines near the school house mark the tennis court. It is full of much sand and cut with deep dents. That is to amuse the ball, for as it hits the ground it may rebound in any direction it chooses. What makes the big noise? Look, it is the base ball boys playing. Hear them shout and see them run. See that machine near the grade building. That is the sanitary drinking foun-tain(?) Let us go inside of the High School building. The Assembly room is up stairs. See how nice and light it is. Those pretty pictures on the wall have been won by the Prairie High School students. The bright banner in the corner is the oratorical banner. The school is very proud of that banner. Is not this a nice school? HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL FRESHMEN ALPHABET.

Threatening prospects of unfavorable weather often dishearten the high spirits of enthusiastic High School people when they are about to play a game of ball with some of their High School opponents, but it was not so Saturday, October 9th. A jolly party composed of ten boys and seven girls left Prairie du Chien about 8:30 a. m. for Seneca, where they expected to play both base-ball and basket ball with the teams of that High School. The weather presented anything but an encouraging outlook, but with Prof. Gunderson among the boys, and Miss Green with the girls, it would have taken more than a dark cloud or shower to daunt the courage of that crowd. Between Prairie du Chien and Eastman the ride was a pleasant one. We took advantage of the fact that we were out of the city limits and practiced some of the High School yells and learned a new song. Whether or not we frightened the inhabitants of the woods, we do not know. Just before reaching Eastman the boys, who were in the bus just ahead of the girls, spied an apple orchard near the road, the story almost completes itself, in short, they supplied themselves bountifully and returned to their rig after “sharing” up with the girls. The boys, however, utilized the apple cores by practicing curves, etc., between the two rigs. Arriving at Eastman we gave our yells in “true blue” style. It was necessary to make a stop here and this was somewhat prolonged, owing to the fact that the Prof., not being accustomed to it, found it difficult to keep his feet out of six inches of clay mud thru which he found it necessary to wade in attending to a business transaction. Shortly after leaving Eastman it began to sprinkle a little bit, but that seemed to have little, if any effect on us. Good humor and jollity still reigned and finally we reached Seneca about 12:00 o’clock. Prof. Mundhenke and the Seneca students greeted us very cordially and very kindly arranged headquarters for the entire party. After dinner both boys and girls made ready for the Bose Bad aid Basket Ball games, respectively. It was decided that the boys play first and the game was called at 2:30. The score was kept up i:i a lively fashion by both sides for some time, then finally P. D. C. ran ahead two points. It was at this junction that it began to rain, but that made no difference to the boys, and the girls loyally withstood it to cheer them on to victory if possible. Don Keller did some brilliant pitching, making it possible for our boys to continue to gain and Joe Schweiger was practically the hero of the occasion. The diamond had becqme somewhat slippery and being clay soil, provided an excellent toboggan. Joe took note of the fact, struck hard, making first and second easily, but finding he must increase his speed, he reached third in a bound and coming at a velocity of about thirty miles an hour, literally slid over the plate and struck “home.” Andrew Gronert determined to wear stilts in another game if he had to play left field in the valley, but he was there just the same. The Seneca players were well chosen and had begun to “make good,” bringing the score nearer a tie, when the rain increased and the boys were compelled to quit, leaving the score, though unfinished, in P. D. C.’s favor. The girls, though somewhat disappointed in not being able to play their game, were pleased with the base ball game. Preparations were made for the return trip and at 4:00 p. m., amidst a glorious down-pour of rain, we departed for home. Twenty minutes was allowed for lunch at Eastman, during which time the boys procured a supply of cheese and crackers. Picture for your self this party of boys and girls each with a piece of cheese in one hand and a cracker in the other, dividing their attentions equally between the two, too hungry, too content to speak a word—and you have it correct. Inquiry proved that the girls and boys in the girls’ rig fared a triffe better than the boys in their rig, because the former had “lady fingers” as a last course, and the latter had none such. Between six o’clock and the time we arrived home, 9:30, the rain had ceased and the air was cool and refreshing. Songs were sung and short pieces spoken to pass the hours of the evening’s drive. Among the songs were solos by Don Keller and Joe Schwartz. Joe’s were Bohemian, and he denies it, but we think he sang them in that language to “scare the spooks away.” To prove that we had lost no one or that none of us were nodding, Prof, and FIRST BASE BALL TEAM FIRST ROW KIESER. 3 B; SCMWEIGER.

In the summer of 1925 I went to Prairie du Chien to revisit the scenes of my school days. I strolled, as if by chance, into a second-hand store (which had come into existence just before I left Prairie in 1912.) My attention was drawn to a pile of dusty books which lay on a nearby counter. I picked one of them up, but almost dropped it again, for to my amazement the book actually began to speak. It began to speak in faint words and said that it had greatly pitied its former owner who had always sat up until the wee small hours of the night, pouring over its pages in a vain effort to master its contents. It said he had kept up for two years but that it did not know if he had done so because of his delight in its company or whether he had kept it for some other reason. It wfent on to say that he had often said something about “flunked again,” and it believed this must have had something to do with his keeping it so long. It said that judging from his remarks he believed his former owner was at the present time, the proprietor of a drug store located somewhere among the triangles and parallelopipeds of Chicago. After it had finished the story I brushed off the dust and found that the book was a Geometry and of the same edition as the one I had used when a Junior in Prairie du Chien High School in 1910. I opened the book and found the name “Roy Hurley” written on the first page, in large letters. This excited my curiosity and I wondered if the other books would tell me the fate of my other schoolmates. The next book I picked up was rather large and it also had a story to tell. It said its former owner had not used it exclusively for the purpose it had been intended for. It said she had used the back pages for copying down all the recipes she was able to acquire, such as candy, cookies, cakes, bread and the like. It went on to say that one of her girl friends had asked why she did this and she replied, “Oh, I think I’ll have use for them before long.” It said that it had not been able to find out if she had made use oi them or not, but that it rather thought she had, as she had learned each recipe by heart, and didn’t need the book any more. I opened the book and found that it had been Bertha Brown’s English Literature Note Book, and this much had I learned of another of my classmates. The next bock I picked up was very m uch smaller than the others. It said the one who had owned it before it came to its present home had bt'en a very polite person. It said he would never think of contradicting a teacher and that he had thought its author, Edmund Burke, would have been a very fine fellow if he hadn’t written that “Conciliation with the Colonies.” I brushed off the dust and found that the book I held was “Burke’s Conciliation with the Colonies,” and the name on the first page was Martin Cornica. I asked the book if it knew where that remarkably polite little fellow was at the present time. It said he was busy writing a book named “A Conciliation with My Teachers.” The next book complained bitterly of its mis-shapen condition, which it said had been caused by the many notes which its former owner had kept among its pages. I asked it if it knew where that personage was and it replied that it did not know, but it believed the next book, a more recent arrival, could give me the information I desired. I questioned it and it said it had overheard its former owner say she had received a letter from Montana from Helen Wallin, who, by the way, was the owner of the previous book which I later found to be Virgil’s Aeneid. She said she liked the distant country well enough, only she didn’t think the Post Office clerks out there were nearly as nice as those in Prairie du Chien. She said that she was expecting one from Prairie du Chien to come there soon and she knew when he arrived all would be well. That letter had been written some years before and I suppose that by this time another one from Prairie du Chien has gone to Montana, too. If this is the case I know Helen is happy, and so one more of my schoolmates is accounted for. The next book that I picked up said it had been rather disgusted with its previous owner, for, although it had been in her hands for several years, she had never HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL finished reading it. It said it believed that she had not been able to finish it because of a little orange and black ribbon she had used for a book mark, for instead of reading it, she had gazed longingly upon the bookmark. It said that it had heard her talk about a young man who resided at Richland Center, who, it believed, had some connection with the book mark, and that it had often seen her count on her fingers and thumbs the days that must pass before the next VV. V. 0. L. contest would come. It went on to say that she was at the present time hard at work trying to devise some means by which she could retain the word “can’t” in her memory. It said she thought this a very important word, but for some reason or other had always found it very difficult to remember. I brushed the dust off the book and found it was a copy of “Sesame and Lilies,” which had belonged to Clara Stantorf, and thus another of the graduates of he Prairie du Chien High School in 1911 vas accounted for. The sixth book that I picked up was very nervous and sensitive. It said this was due to its former owner who had startled it so often with her loud and piercing voice. It said when a bunch of school girls would get together if the previous owner would begin to speak every one else would have to keep still, whether she wished to or not, for no one could speak half as loud as she could. It said this young lady had lived in the suburbs of Prairie du Chien and that she never used the trolley-car, but always walked to school, as she thought it a very agreeable and healthful exercise. I asked the book where she was now and it said that she was a governess superintending the education of two children, who were both ‘quite deaf.’ I removed the dust from this one also and found it was a German book, “Gluck Auf,” that belonged to Ruth Collins, and so the sixth of my beloved fellow classmates was located. The next book I picked up said it had belonged to a very delicate young woman. It said she was always complaining that she was so very thin and had said she would give anything to be healthy looking like the other girls. It said she had often wished that she could live on a farm for a while, as she believed the country air would do her good. I asked it where she was now. It said that she was a school teacher and that all her pupils liked her very much. This book proved to be Ella Wetzel’s English History and then I knew that it was no wonder that the pupils all loved her. It also said that she had always been a very bright student and that all of her classmates had liked her very much. The eighth book I picked up was not very large. It said that its former owner had seemed to be very fond of it for a long time, for she always kept it near her and often consulted its pages. However she did not treat it in this manner all the time, but it thought it was the fault of the Annual, published in 1910, as its former owner spent so much time working on that, and did not have any time in which to make use of it. It said she had been a very good musician and orator. I asked ic if it knew where she was living at the present time and it answered she was an ardent supporter of the woman suffrage party for which side she had worked very hard in a debate when a Junior in High School I brushed off the dust and found that it was a “Basket Ball Rale” book which had belonged to Ida Martner. Now the eighth of my classmates i-- accounted for, The last book which I picked up said its previous owner had always kept it near her day and night and that it believed she liked it very much. It said that she was a very nice young lady and when I asked it what she was doing now, it said it believed she was a very well liked nurse and that her gentle manners and voice were in themselves powerful to heal the sick. I removed the dust and found that the book I held was Anna Becwar’s German Grammar and I thought, to myself, it was no wonder Anna always has such good German lessons, and with this book I was informed of the last of my classmates.

Among their favorite songs are “In the Old Familiar Place,” “Jager Leben,” “Toilers of the Sea,” “Voice of the Western Wind,” and “The Daffodils.” Florence B.—Goodness and mercy follow her.

PRAIRIE DU CHIEN Between the noon and the night time When our school work was just about o’er, Came a pause in the day’s occupation That was known as Promotion hour. That’s extended to you now so freely, By us who’ve no need for it more Some day you may pass it along To others who come on this floor. I heard in the hall-way below me The patter of little feet, The sound of a door that was opened And voices scared but sweet. ou’re welcome, Oh, yes, you’re welcome, To come to these halls of fame. But do not forget for one moment You have yet to make a name. From my desk I saw in the daylight, Ascending the broad hall stair. Grave George Jones and laughing Gertrude And Roy Harding with silver hair. A stampede and then a silence. Yet I knew by their wide-opened eyes, They’re wishing and hoping together That we'd think them very wise. They seated themselves by the window And gazed on the scene so fair, I knew by the time they spent that way That advice with them was too rare. Do you think, O you innocent freshmen, Because you have enterei this hall, That this is the time for playing And nothing to do at all? You must work with your might on your lessons, Don’t gaze about when you should pass Don’t forget to go with your schoolmates. Into the Algebra Class. There’s a large book to be found in the schoolroom. We advise you to use it, its grand! But do not, we beg you, my freshies, Break down our dictionary stand. When asked t. meet with the teacher. Don’t tell them where you may be found, But meekly march into the office Not out to the base-ball ground. We aren’t so ignorant as you are, We’ve had some experience you see, And we onc° took from our superiors. The self-same sweet sympathy. THE SOPHOMORES. WHO ARE THEY? Mona Wagner—Much winsomeness. Edith Speck—I’m not a user of Ayer’s Hair Tonic. Fred Bruchman—Fred, pick up your feet, you’ll wear out your shoes. Florence Zeil—Beware my penetrating glance. Florence Thomas—This lass so neat, Has a smile so sweet. Mertie G.—I just can’t make my eyes behave. Elmer Wachter—Miles Standish. Mae Stehr—Long distance plodder. Marie Walters—To her duty prompt at every call. Martha Becwar—Never idle a moment, but thrifty and thoughtful of others. Mamie Cecka—Always a smile, never a care, And this my motto: “Do and dare.” Mary O’Neil—A dillar, a dollar, a ten o’clock scholar. Grace Maxwell—There was a soft and pensive grace, a cast of thought upon her face. Hazel Copsey Black are her eyes, as the berries that grow on the thorn by the wayside. Stella Caya—One vast substantial smile. GLEE CLUB FIRST ROW-HARDING, MISS BARRY, MARTNER. BECWAR. CECKA. GRIESBACH. SPECK SECOND ROW — H ALP IN, ANDERSON. WALLIN. COLEMAN.

L.—“What did the hero do when he saw the heroine in danger?” Arthur S.—“Stare.” -E W hat is the difference betw-een a Freshman and horse feed? “One is green in the spring and the other is green in the fall.” •E Mr. Steinbach, our janitor, while raking the yard, was bitten by a small poodle dog. Mr. Gunderson, who was witness to the catastrophe asked, “Was the dog mad?” Mr. S.—“Mad!” “Why should he be mad; I’m the one that’s mad.” What is the difference between White rose and Rose White?

What is your theme on?” Smart Freshie: “Paper.” + Kieser sat on a high board fence, his face was pale and drawn: He thot of the weary hours he’d spent e’er he’d crawled into bed at dawn. He yawned, then rent his hair, and murmured “Never More!” His thots were anchored then, no doubt, on the choir of the night before. A maiden fair, with chin in air, came tripping past that fence. She heard his words and closed her ears, he felt like thirty cents. But down he jumped and blocked her path, her chin went up some higher, He caught his breath, then meekly said, “Let’s join some other choir!” •i4 The following was taken from the Seneca High School notes of last week: “Martin Cornica, of Prairie du Chien, gave a lecture on Volts and Amperes to the Senior class one evening last week.
