GREETING 1 am but a tiny booklet, I can’t shake hands with you. And give you suoh a mighty grip You’ll feel it thru and thru; But I am sure the Junior class Who tried to edit me, Wfll give a hearty handshake, To everyone—Scot free! And on my many faces, I hope that you may find Many thots and recollections, That will lighteu up your mind ; So just excuse that handshake, A merely formal thing— And I’ll fill your soul with joy and mirth ’Till it will fairly ring. When the years have rolled away, And my hair’s fast turning to gray, W’hen my step’s no longer firm, And for youth again I yearn. Then I'll dwell in memory’s halls! Once again to school I’ll go, To Prairie High, my heart aglow, Again in classes I‘ll appear. Oh! those voices that I hear, Oh! how dear are memory’s halls! THE PRAIRIE DOG The Third Annual of the P.

We spent much time in searching for a proper title and finally decided to call it “The Prairie Dog, a name forever associated with that of our little city, Prairie du Chien, which in the French tongue means “Prairie of Dogs. We think it is appropriate, and we would like to see it appear on the covers of all future annuals, if it meets with the kindly approval of our readers. The purpose of our annual is to furnish a history of the days that we enjoyed while going to school here, which we can look upon when we are surrounded by graver affairs; to let the people know what we are doing at school, and to make greater the fame of our Alma Mater. This annual is published by the united efforts of the members of the Junior class, who have loyally struggled to show their respect to their school. May the future annuals and all else pertaining to the Prairie du Chien High School meet with unlimited success. EDITORS. THE FACULTY NICHOLAS GUNDERSON, Ph.

(With apologies to Chaucer.) 11 weren in the sprynge of lif When youthe came in the worldes strif, To geten knowledge from the elder folke, So he myghte better fit the yoke, With which he doth his lif sustaine. So in their youthe, with myghte and maine, The yonger folke formed in a class, Of many a brilliant lad and lasse. On a pilgrimage to maken; So that everich myghte partaken, Of the knowledg of the scoole; Or myghte taste the teacher’s roole, And go on in a better way, Where discipline doth holden swey. In the class weren twenty-eight, Of each in turn I will relate. One he weren an athlete, Strong of arme and swifte of feete, Many games of basebal did he wynne, By pitching curves of out or inne. And in the games of basket-bal, His men did fine work in the hall, For of the team he weren captaine. Now I'll tell you of a country swaine, Who lived away up in Frenchtowne, This lad he weren a sort of clowne, He would sit and ponder in his seate, And weren alweys looking at his feete, And seldom a word would he speaken. Also weren there a gentlemen, Who always kept his trousers pressed, And when he looked to east or west, He always had to move just so, He weren afraid to spoil his bow, In the orchestra he played a fiddle, This ladde he weren a sort of a riddle. A tall yonge blonde also weren ther, Who knew, just how to dress her haire, Of learning she displayed a store, Of her I need tell you no more. Another meyden of renowne, Ther was who lived in Lowertowne, She followed in her sister’s weys, Who went to scoole in former deys, To be a teacher was her aime And if I am right she’ll be the same. Another meyden from Lowertowne, Ther weren with eyes and haire of browne, And she had her haire clipped on her browe. Of a ladde, too. I’ll tell now, Who came from off hys father’s farme; He weren tall and lank and long of arme, He could play ryght well at basketbal. Now again I’ll tell you all. Of a ladde who came from Wauzeka, He was tall in height, eek a Strong and very burly ladde too, For he was raised by the Kikapoo. Ther weren also a sturdy ladde, Who a genius for drawing hadde, And he weren a ryght jolly good fellow. Now again I will try to tell you, Of two musicians, who were brothers, They wern along with all the others. Oon was well versed with the shrill clarinet, In the orchestra the other played second cornet. Both weren of complexion dark. Ther weren also a merry yonge lark. Little of stature, but great of minde, In his studies he weren never behinde; And plenty of candy he always hadde. Ther weren also another ladde, He combed his hair so it stood up straight, At his books and studies he did first rate. When the Junyer’s wrote their booke, They gave him the taske it to overlooke. And he also played the first cornet. Ther weren another musician yet, Who played ryght well on the Slyde-trombone. In his studies he weren not a drone. He weren the president of the classe, Ther weren also another lasse, Who weren also a good musician. She weren of dark complexcioun, She played well on the piano-forte, She weren truly a jolly sorte. With the rest ther weren a boye, Whose heart would overflow with joye, If he could learn to be a druggist, Of size, he weren neither smallest nor biggest. He had fine light golden haire, And did alweys sit and Stare. Also with them weren a writer, At writing stories none were brighter, But his other studies weren in the dark, He weren not a geometry shark. Another boy weren ther, With shining locks of silver haire. He surely weren a merry boy, The only son of Father Joy, His smiles weren welcomed by them all. He ween large in soul, in body small. Ther weren also a meyden faire, Who hadden locks of golden haire, She weren very jolly too, And all the learning that she knew, Woulde fill a library of bookes, She weren faire and gud of lookes. Ther weren eek a tiny lasse. Who weren a pilgrim with the classe, Full of life and fire she weren, She hadden mischief too, to burn. Ther weren eek a solemn girl, And thru her lessons she coulde whirl, Bright she weren and gud of speech, Right able weren she to teach. She weren small of frame and quick of weys, She’ll leave her name in coming days. Among the authors of the world. Ther weren also another girl, In form she weren plump and fat. When she wore a dress or hat, It weren in the latest style, On her looks I’ll pause awhile. Dark weren her eye, which like a star did flashe, From underneath a dark eyelashe, Faire weren her face, but for one respect, It were with freckles well bedecked. She could play the piano some, And eek could pl y well on a drum. Ther weren eek a brilliant lasse, Who could never to you, answer yes, But Ja and that so slow: That she weren Dutch one well myght know, She weren bright and diligent, And of the German Club weren president. Another girl ther also weren, Who weren of her manner stern. She lived down by the rail-road track; Her haire it weren a glossy black. Her dark eyes gleamed like balls of fire. When she was filled with wrath or ire; A richer girl was never known, For a houseful of coppers, she had at home. With the reste ther weren a ladde, Who never weren seen looking sadde, But always wore a smiling face. Of candy, he alweys had galore, Which he got from his brother’s store, Also lots of chewing gum, Of all in the classe he weren a chum. Ther weren also a bright yong man, With ability to do what anyon can. At first he studied with all his vim, But soon other thyngs attracted him. Then caren he not for hys studies at alle, Of stature he weren stout, but not talle. He weren business manager of the Junyer’s Booke, A ride on horse-back every dey he tooke. Ther weren also another fellow, Of whom I am now about to tell you. He weren just like any commun one, Could fish and skate and shoot a gun, He got on very well at scoole. This fellow would ride een on a mule, When he went about upon an errand. With another ladde my ta e I’ll end. He weren a ladde of husky form, Tho not very long of limb or arme. He weren very merry and jovial with alle; And weren a very fine player at basketbal. But ere he completed his pilgrimage, He heeded not the good old adage, Which saith, “Try, try again, if you fail.” And quit, just like I drop my tale. A STORY OF 1930 “All aboard!” I just had time to lift my heavy grips and throw myself on the steps of the moving passenger train. Panting from the race I had had to reach my destination I set my grips in the aisle and threw myself into a seat. After a few minutes I had quite regained my breath, and I picked up one of my grips to rearrange my stock of books and figure up the amount of my sales. I soon finished my task and the thought struck me that I might made a few sales in the car. Seeing a tall blonde across the aisle I hailed her and produced my copy, and undaunted by the sour smile, which is the usual greeting to book agents, I praised the book as only a drummer can. In answer to the question “What is the name of your book,” I replied, “Why it is ‘My School Days at Prairie High’, written by the well known author, Roy Schnug. “You don’t say, why I was one of his classmates.” I thereupon recognized Alma Anderson. I told her that I was one of the class too, and handed her my card. We had quite a talk together and before we got through I found out that she was a stenographer for a lawyer in a small town, and was going back to work after a few weeks vacation at home. I proceeded down the length of the car making a few sales. At the other end I was struck with the appearance of a couple of fellows, and I approached them with the usual air of a salesman. Before I had gone very far with my discussion I found that those fellows were none other than Don Keller and Roland Bieloh, who were about to start on an expedition for the discovery of the South Pole. I spent the remainder of my time in the car speaking with these young classmates. Reaching my assigned station I got off, and lugging my heavy grips, struck for the nearest hotel, which I saw a short distance up the only street of the little village. On going in I set down my grips and put my name on the register, while the landlord, a sharp-featured man, watched me and I noticed he stared at me in a queer way, as he continued to stare at me in this manner, I grew angry and asked him if he suspected me of some crime. He laughed and replied “Your looks and name correspond to those of an old classmate of mine.” I then recognized Wm. Welsh. As we were shaking hands, a jolly-faced lady stepped into the room and Mr. Welsh said; “Let me introduce you to my wife.” Immediately I recognized another classmate. It was-------Norma Froelich. I spent a delightful evening with my classmates, but in the morning my joys came to an end, when I received a letter from Mr. Schnug, giving me directions to canvass the country on foot. After four days of tugging at those heavy grips in the blistering sun, with little encouragement of sales, I came to a very large building. Painted in red letters was, “The Western Farming Syndicate.” I entered the building and recognized in the president of the syndicate my old classmate, Lawrence Swingle. Mr. Swingle introduced me to the trustee whose names were respectively, Adelbert Cherrier, George Schwei-ger, Fred Newgard and Oren Hoyle. I felt at home with all these classmates and I regretted it much when I took my departure. Another tussle with my grips, and some more hard words from vixen farm-wives, who pronounced my book a fake, and I came upon a motor car standing by the wayside. At first sight I thought it to be deserted but I soon saw two black-headed men tugging at wrenches under their balky steed. On hearing my footsteps they crawled out and I beheld the grease-stained faces ol George and Oscar Schneyer. They were trying a new car in an endurance test for the International Harvester Company. While I was talking with my schoolmates a rider on horse-back approached. He rode along side and drew rein, and there before us was Clement McCloskey. Evidently his fondness for horses had increased as he said he was riding on horse-back from his ranch in Wyoming to a horse fair that was to be given in Eastern New York, where he was intending to purchaso some fine drivers. It was now growing dusk and I pursued my journey at a rapid gait. I could see a town a short distance ahead where I could put up for the night. But before I reached it I had the misfortune of being bitten by a farmer’s dog, so on reaching the town I immediately sought the drug store to buy some peroxide. Here I found Arthur Stehr to be the druggist. I spent the night with him and in the morning again continued my journey of canvassing. Two days passed without any happenings of note. On the third day I saw a large school building on one side of the street of a country hamlet. Carved on a stone block near the top of the building was “The Farm-dale High School.” I thought I would reap a harvest here with the sale of my books, so I went in with glittering hopes. To my amazement I found that Mae Stagnan was the principal, and right funny she looked with glasses and such a stern look on her face. I was astounded when I found Mamie Graap the teacher of Mathematics, Leona Greisch the Botany teacher, Mamie Cornelius the English teacher, Blanche Collins the History teacher and Freida Boechk the Music teacher. I felt rather small amid such a crowd of learned people whom I used to know so well. I said I was amazed and astounded at seeing these teachers, but I was dazed when I was leaving the building, for then Principal Mae Stagnan introduced me to the janitor of the building who was no other than the person of Colonel Thompson. He makes a very good janitor and keeps the building in tip-top shape. On reaching the next town 1 received a letter from Mr. Schnug asking me to go to Europe to introduce his books there. I accepted the offer and in four days I was in New York. After making preparations for my trip across the ocean I went to a theatre where some lecture courses were to be given. The first number was a cartoonist who turned out to be Roy Thomas. Another a talk on woman suffrage was given by Florence Christie. I had a pleasant visit with both of them before I left the next day for Liverpool. How pretty the sea was as I walked up and down the rolling deck watching the waves. Before the day was over I renewed my acquaintances with Elmer Herold, a missionary to India, Roy Harding, who was going with an English expedition to Egypt to study the remains of the old civilization, and Audry Copper, who was heiress to many thousands and making a visit to the old world. . During the next few days we were all sea-sick, but after that we had many talks of old times at Prairie du Chien High School. I am now in France selling a French translation of Mr. Schnug’s “My School Days at Prairie High.” Mr. Schnug is a popular writer and I take much interest in selling this book, since I was once a member of his class in the person of George Jones.

They wuz yellin’ “Fat men, Lean men, etc.” Thar wuz one young feller yellin’ ard as he yelled “lean men” loud like and looked et me an’ laughed. I s.ez to Jeiemiah, who be that young scoundrel?” He sez he wuz a Freshman. “Wf l”, sez I “I know he’s fresh but who be he?” Tarty scon I seen two young tall ladies cornin’ in and I sez to Jeremiah who they be an’ he sez they wuz Gray and Green, two teachers in school. I sez they did’nt look it. h ex’ I heard some one yell “Hey kernel”! an I saw a little fellow bout ez big ez my thumb come runnin’ along. I never sed nothin’ but I had my idees on the subjec.’ Just then some un yelled “Hey General!” an’ a tall young feller with hair stickin’ up like a porcupine’s quills comes trampin’ along. Then I couldn’ hoi’ in no longer an’ I yelled, “I always knew our army was gom’ on the bum, but I never thot they’d hev officers like thet.” Havin’ spoken out my mind, I sot down. Then along comes a boy and sez “Hello” to Jeremiah. I sez to Jeremiah “Who he be?” an’ he sed he wuz a Sophomore. I never heard o’ thet lodge before so I kept still.

Baseball, the greatest American game, is indulged in to some extent by nearly all the boys in school. At the beginning of the school year Fred Bructi-man was elected Captain of the High School Team for the fall, during which time only one game was played. This spring Elmer Wachter was elected Captain. The boys are practicing with much spirit and are confident of a long line of victories. Besides the High School Team there are class teams, which play interesting games, even if the players are not all stars. Tennis. Tennis is becoming more popular every year in our High School. The boys and girls who have advocated the game have succeeded in having two double courts constructed and with these it is a case of first come first serve; for every nice day finds a group of students waiting for their turn to count “fifteen-love or love-fifteen,” which ever it may be.

The beginning of the season 1911-1912 found Prairie du Chien with thiee of last year’s team and one substitute, so that chances for a winning team seemed to be good, for there was a wealth of material from which to draw new players. The first game resulted propitiously, when our team defeated Patch Grove by a 38-18 score. Following this game, the next week, our team met and defeated Monona with the over-whelming score of 71-22. Then came a return game with Patch Grove, on their own floor, with the favorable 13-9 score. After this, lor some weeks, the boys did very little practising because no hall could be secured in which to play, but when the opportunity came to meet the La Crosse Business University it started the team to work, but the La Crosse boys were in better shape, and although we held the lead up to the last two minutes of play the final result was 38-31 in favor of La Crosse. Then followed another break in training and a defeat at the hands of Viola by a score of 39-28. It was after this game that we lost ou fast forward, Bieloh, greatly weakening our team for the time being. Our next game was with Bloomington, on their floor, and proved to be a very fast and exciting game. It was everybody s game until the whistle blew, and was won by Bloomington by a score of 23-21. Our next date was open and we persuaded Bagley to play with us and won from them by a score of 59-11. The team showed excellent defensive work, in this game, allowing but one field basket. Our next game was with the city team and we defeated them 44-16. The next game was with Bloomington on our own lloor but it was a rough game, although we won by a score of 19-15. Our next games were in Platteville. The team left for Platteville Thursday afternoon, to compete in the tournament held there for the championship of our district. W e remained in Galena over night and on Friday continued our journey to 1 jatte-ville. Within an hour after leaving the train we played a game against Brod-head and were badly beaten by a score of 51-19. Our fellows had no chance to warm up and the opposing team had had a good night s rest, which partly explains the score. Our next game was with Mineral Point and having regained our energy, we came out with a victory of 26-17. By winning the secom came we were entitled to a third and played the Platteville High School Team, which so far had two victories and no defeats to its credit. We won easily by a score of 22-14. Since we had been victorious in the last two games, we were given an opportunity to meet Brodhead again, but out boys were tired and so the second place was conceded to Prairie du Chien and Brodhead won the cup. Personnel of the Team. Lawrence Swingle, left guard, played his first game this year and developed into an excellent player, keeping down his opponent’s chancesjto make baskets by his aggressive and tireless guarding. He should make a brilliant record next year. , . . . , Elmer Wachter, right guard, was an apparently tireless opponent, who outplayed almost every foreward against whom he was placed. He played a clean, consistent game and was always where he was most needed. His loss to the team next year will be a very severe one. . Elmer Herald, left forward, although sometimes playing left guard, worked into good form in both positions. He is good material for next year s Clyde Miller, right forward, was one of the best point-makers on the team. He met with an accident near the end of the season, thus making the team some weaker. His loss will be very keenly felt next year. Mr. Gunderson. Mgr.; Capt. Kellar; Wachter; Herold, E.; Swingle; Newgard; Miller Roland Bieloh, right forward, was playing on the team the second year. He was a fast player, and a sure one, making up by these two qualities for his lack of size. The team lost a good player when he left school at the beginning of the second semester. Don Keller, center and captain, played a brilliant game during the season. He outjumped and outplayed most of his opponents by his general aggressiveness, and proved to be the surest basket thrower on the team, making baskets easily both from the center of the field and near the basket. Fred Newgard. substitute guard, had only a short time to prove his metal, after Miller was injured. In the few games in which he played, he put up a good fight and showed evidence of developing into a very good player for the 1912-1913 season. To the Basket Ball Team. Keller’s a person we must know, Quick tempered laughing happy, Surely this pastime would be slow Without our captain so scrappy. Then there’s Miller, Laughing and gay. Always telling A better way. Wachter’s a player we must see, Good natured—peristent—steady, A wonderful player, they say, is he, For his opponent—always ready. Then Herold too We all admit, In any place Right well would fit. Swingle also plays on the team, The jolliest of them all. And every practice dull would seem Were he there not there to call. Then Newgard last To mention here, Who plays the game Without a fear.

At noon and evening students no longer stop and look frantically for a way to escape through open doors as they used to, they now say: “Why that’s the orchestra, isn’t it fine.” Some have even dared to go in and sit through a rehearsal and have left the room remarking: “It isn’t nearly so bad as it was, You’re doing great.” The orchestra is under the leadership of Mrs. B. E. Carter and the members are faithfully working to make it as good an orchestra as any school the size of Prairie du Chien has. The orchestra has furnished music for the Lyceum programs, the Christmas party, and has played at various public meetings and for the State Archeological Society, which gives evidence that it’s efforts have met with deserved appreciation. The Glee Club. The girls Glee Club is the only organization of its kind in the school and has met with a just measure of success. There are seventeen members who meet for practice every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon at four o’clock; under the direction of Mrs. B. E. Carter and with Frieda Boeckh as accompanist. The Glee Club has sung at every school function during the year and also at the meeting of the State Archeological Society and the Library meeting.

History. The Prairie du Chien High School was established in or about the year 1864 in the building which is now used as the Second Ward Grade School Owing to the increase in attendance, not only in the High School but in the grades as well, the present High School building was erected in 1896. It is constructed of red brick and is well lighted, heated and ventilated. It consists of a spacious Assembly Room, which will accommodate over one hundred pupils, two recitation rooms, a library and two laboratories, one for botanical purposes and the other for physics experiments. During the school year 1889-1890, under the principalship of F. G. Kraege, the High School was acknowledged by the State University as an accredited school, thereby establishing its reputation among other schools of its class. For some years there was no change in the general attendance and the educational enthusiasm ebbed low but since the advent of our present super-intendant, which was in 1909, the High School has increased sixty per cent, while the schools throughout the city have grown and improved. Aside from the regular course of studies there exists in the High School, enthusiastic Literary, German, Latin and Oratorical socities, a good base ball team, a victorious basket ball team, besides a yearly play given for the Athletic Association. But best of all there has been a spirit of loyalty and enthusiasm created in our schools which manifests itself in all phases of school work. The Lyceum. After the excitement of the new school year had somewhat died down and the Freshmen did not seem quite so frightened, the pupils and Faculty met in the Assembly room to organize the High School Lyceum with the following results: OFFICERS. President Elmer Wachter Vice-President Don Keller Secretary................................................. Frieda Boeckh Treasurer Edith Speck The president then appointed the following students as members of committees: Program Committee: Florence Ziel, Chairman, Elmer Herold, Marian Scanlan, Edith Gronert. Music Committee: William Welsh, Chairman, Edith Speck, Leona Garrow. At the close of this meeting each and every one, especially the upper classmen, promised to do their utmost toward making the High School Prog-grams of interest both to the parents and patrons of the school, as well as to the students themselves. The Lyceum holds its meetings usually every three weeks and the two programs given below are examples of the work done in this line by the students.

Orchestra The German Club, called “Der Kleine Deutsche Bund”, held its first meeting on Hallowe’en when it undertook to initiate its new members, the Junior class, into the mysteries of its membership. After this a regular meeting was called at which May Stagman was elected president. Meetings were held and short programs given, but owing to the stress of other work they were discontinued later in the year. High School Library. One of the most popular places from 8:45 to 9:00 every morning is the High School Library. May Stagman and Norma Froelich are in charge of the room. Each student may draw a book but if the book is not returned within two weeks from the time drawn a little slip comes as a reminder that the book must be returned. There are 2400 volumes in the library. These books have been carefully chosen to supplement the work of the school. “Beneath Her Window on a Moonlight Night.” Lenore was a small Junior of the P. D. C. H. S. She had just read Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” and in consequence was enthusiastic over Romance and Love and other foolish thoughts. One evening after school she received a card stating that she should beat her window at 8:15 that evening and she would meet her “Romeo.” That night as Lenore went to her window she felt that nervousness (she called it love) coming on. She looked out upon the beautiful landscape. Every thing was bathed in the moon’s silvery light. Millions of stars twinkled in the heavens above. It was indeed a night to meet her “Romeo.” Suddenly soft, charming notes stole up out of the darkness caused by the shade of the trees. Cupid had chosen the time, the place, and the right season of the year. Across the monlit lawn ran a dark object. But it ran so fast Lenore could not possibly see who or what it was. Now it stopped below her window and had started to climb the vines. “Romeo” Lenore called. All she received in answer was the notes of that instrument below. It was playing, “When the Honey Moon am Shinin’.” Lenore’s heart fluttered with happiness. Now it was just a few feet below her window. On account of the deep shadow thrown by the house Lenore could not see her beloved “Romeo.” Just as he came up to her window the music under the trees, changed to the tune of “Kiss Me, My Honey, Kiss Me.” Lenore unable under the circumstances to resist the temptation threw her arms around “Romeo’s” neck and kissed him. The air was rent by shriek after shriek, and now a violent squeaking began. Lenore’s room was soon filled by the rest of the family. When they arrived fair Lenore was in hysterics. The only question asked was, “Lenore, Lenore tell me, what is the matter?” The answer came slowly and feebly, “Take him away, Oh take him away!” “Who shall we take away?” “Petro, the Italian’s monkey,” came the answer. (Roy Schnug.) Here’s to our school boys, rise up each man, We’ve always won since High School began, Ring out the chorus, we’ll sing our song once again. And give a cheer for our High School dear, Rah! Rah! Rah! The High School Play. As has been the custom for the past few years, the annual play given for the benefit of the Athletic Association of the High School, was staged on Saturday night, April twenty-seventh, at the Metropolitan Opera-House. The play presented this year was a stirring story of Yale life entitled “For Old Eli,” and the curtain went up on the college room of Captain Walker, Dick Carson and their Freshman room-mate, Jack Ludlow. From the entrance of the athletic-looking captain until the curtain went down on a touching but absurd love scene, between Dick Carson and Helen Beckwith, the play and the players held the interest of the audience. The little touches of realism throughout the play; the grand “cleaning up” before the girls came; the over-wise professor, riding his philosophical hobby; the good natured jollying between the friends, “Beef” Campbell and the Freshman Ludlow, and their rivalry for the first place in the afFeetions of little Gwen Hardy; the devoted loyalty of this same Freshman to his big upper classman, Dick Carson, when he “broke training” for some mysterious cause; the attractiveness of the trysting place by the Yale fence, when Gwen met each suitor in succession; the naturalness of the scene on the same fence where later a dozen lads sat discussing the coming meet, dropping into old familiar songs, cheering to their beloved “Cap” as they saw him approaching, and greeting “Sport” Hendricks, who was holding bets on the meet; the round of cheering all during the supposed track meet, the clear, insisive tones of the announcer as he made known each result or told the next event; the earnest speech of the trainer, Mike McCarty, to the men over whom he had labored; the serious appeal of the Captain to his men to win this, his last meet in college, but his expression of fear because of one man’s disloyalty, with the quick retort of Carson saying he would “win alright”—then the severe injury to “Cap.” Walker, the true Yale spirit manifested by Carson who volunteered to run the mile for the Captain who had turned him down, so winning the meet for Yale, and finally the pretty party scene with the girls in their evening gowns and the boys in their best behavior in the attractive home of Alice Fairfield, who was so well liked by all the boys; with at last the timely entrance of the injured Captain on crutches, the incessant interruptions of Dick and Helen, when Dick was trying to insist that she was the only girl he had ever loved and that it was not “too sudden” for he had known her for two whole days, and at last the gathering of all the team, and of the girls, to witness the election of Dick Carson as “Captain of Yale’s Track Team for next year”—the genuine enthusiasm of them all as they picked up the newly-elected Captain, and to the familiar “Here’s to good old Yale, Drink it down,” carried him around and out of the room as they sang; all these are the interests and events which make the play attractive. All of the parts were exceedingly well done, and there is not room nor time enough to say all that one might, concerning the clever interpretation of each and every part, so one must be satisfied to know that in the opinion of those who saw it, as expressed generally, it is the best play which has been put on by the students of the Prairie du Chien High School. The caste was made up of the following students and the order given is that of their appearance in the play: Charley Walker, Captain of Yale Track Team Elmer Wachter Dick Carson, Walker’s room-mate Don Keller “Artie” Armstrong............... ..... ..Elmer Herold “Beef” Campbell.......................

At the Grand Opera House on Friday evening, March twenty-ninth, perhaps the best local contest which has been held in Prairie du Chien in late years was presented to the public. According to the recent ruling there were really two contests, the oratorical contest, in which only the boys participated, and the declamatory contests, in which the girls took part. Following is the program as it was given that night: Music High School Orchestra boys’ contest.

Dahm, of McGregor, Iowa, and Delbert Meyer, of Monona, Iowa. They awarded the places as follows: In the Boys’ Contest, to Don Keller, first; to Elmer Wachter, second; to Elmer Herold, third; in the Girls’ Contest, to Norma Froelich, first; to Alice Stuart, second. All who took part in the program did exceedingly well and the school has reason to be proud of them. It is good training anti is interesting work. The contestants were materially assisted this year by Miss Alma May Taylor, of Boaz, Wisconsin, who was engaged to train them for the contest. The W. V. O. L. Contest. Owing to a lack of sufficient time for preparation only three schools entered the W. V. 0. L. contest this year. They were Avoca, Muscoda and Prairie du Chien. The Contest was held in Muscoda on Friday, April twenty-sixth, and the following places were awarded by the judges: to Norma Froelich, of Prairie du Chien, first; to Zilpha Bohan, of Avoca, second; to Gregor Affleck, of Muscoda, first; and to Don Keller, of Prairie du Chien, second. Mona Wagner, of Prairie du Chien, also appeared on the program in a musical number. The judges were E. G. Dondna, of Richland Center; J. H. Wyland, of Lone Rock and W. C. Knoeck, of Boscobel.

'Tain’t always the wan ez sez he hez no temper as sticks to his worrud. There’s mighty few school people now, as is like what they wuz when I was young. Seems they younger they get the more impidint they be. Yew can’t alius tell a teacher’s feelin’s by the expressions on their faces. ’Tis a good thing fer young people ter be told by their teachers ez how going ter school is a serious biznez.” ’Tis true, ez you most all heard said in school I speck, that this be an age of the servival of the fittest. A fleshy woman kain’t git inter a hipless skirt, neither is it fer the best thet she shud wear a hobble skirt. Ez often ez thev hev heard it, fellers think they kin go thru High School by playin.’ But yew just tell them ef they wants the true state of erfairs to either kum ter me or Mr. Gunderson. ’Tis a funny world arter all. Men use hair tonics to git hair, and women use rats and puffs to git rid of good hair. ’Tain’t the clothes that makes the scholar. It’s alright fer young people ter sing, but I got a shock whin I heard some people standin’ round the school pianny singin’ love songs. There’s ore kind of correspondence, a teacher can’t stop an thet is when two young ’uns sitting on opposite sides o’ the room has the windows o’ their souls conveying kindly messages to each other. One thing inventioners didn’t invent, yet, an’ thet is how to get out of takin’ home a bad report card. All sayin’s don’t fit ever’body. . Fer instance there’s a sayin’ as the more the gray matter. Now it 11 fit the Sophomores of the High School, but did you ever notice how much teachers talk and yet they export knowledge to the students? Some men sez ez how cats is ol’ maid’s pets, yet did you ever hear a woman who owned one agree with him? There’s wan thing you want to do when you studies algebra an’ geometry, an’ that is git the English uv it. If more time wuz spent in singin’ instead uv listenin’ tew the green wans speak, maybe we’d have less students sleepin’ in the morning. There’s time fer work an’ time fer play, so the teachers all say but still when a student’s aplayin’ in the arternoon an’ studies in the marnin’ they’s st ill akickin ’ Boy’s ’il be boys the perfessor sez an’ still whin a bunch had enuf life in em an’ went to McGregor one arternoon durin’ school time, he kicked dust in all directions tryin’ to unearth the guilty wans. Whin it comes ter takin’ lessons in sarcasm jest bend your steps towards Miss Green’s room. Specs come in handy when a teacher’s writin’ on the board. Must be mighty hard work fer some girls ter speack by the way they has ter jerk their heads an ’mouth to say a few words. ’T ain’t always the student who’s got the covered wings an’ gits the 100’s as is the best. I’m often thankful that nature has the limbs tightly knit ter the body. Jest think what ud happen ter the cheer leader ef they wasn’t. Many a noble soul hidden under a homely face an’ a good many a time its jest the oppyset. Countin’ by the stature the way the size of the Freshmen is decreasin’, in four more years they’ll be coming up in high-chairs. (Roy Schnug.) Who’s Who?

When we all stand near one hundred And our averages all are high, When we all do love to study With not a single, dreary sigh, When we stand up, oh—so promptly In our places by our seats, When the age of gum is over And we crave for no more sweets, When the girls don’t talk in hallways And the teachers don’t look cross When the Seniors wake from dreaming And are never at a loss, When nobody ever whispers And we never write a note— Shall we not look for a wonder Something ’most too bad to quote? Shall we not be in a hurry Just to look around, and see— But—just stop this awful worry For such things can never be! The Lorelei. Ich weiss nicht was soli es bedeuten. That I dread my Deutches Exam. Ein maerchen aus alten zeiten, Tells me that I surely must cram. Die Luft is kuehl und es dunkelt, And Wisconsin is rough as to ice; Der gipfel des School-house funkelt, This idea I think is quite nice. Die schoene Co-ed sitzet Up there many hours a day; The goldnes Geschmeide blitzet, Which is not at all out of the way. Aus ihr haar fallen oft ihre kaemme, When the breeze blows up from the lake, Das hat eine wundersame Price and is marked “special make.” Die Studenten lieben die maedchen And we do too, don’t you know, Die letzen sind immer die schoensten; Ach Himmel, verse making is slow. Das Maerchen ish glaub, ist am ende It was slowly and painfully writ. Ich will es nach “Annual Staff” sende, Though I’m sure they won’t like it a bit. (Exchange.)

The Prairie Dog. It’s nice to have a poodle-dog, With long hair, soft and fine; It’s nice to have a poodle-dog, To play with all the time. Gyp, my yellow poodle-dog I’d awfully hate to lose. For father’d miss him such a lot! ’Cause Gyp carries off his shoes! My school chum says, since Gyp is dead, I truly am amiss, To find a scheme to plague the guys, That come to call on sis.

Freshmen, a little Junior German before they rush into German class. Juniors, the best reputation in the school. Oscar Schneyer, someone to smile at him. Arthur Stienberg, a morris chair.

Great Sayings from Little and Big People. Bert Jones says if his thermometer had been longer it would have been colder yet. Whether 4 or 64 we all enjoy Lyceum, says Elmer W. Mrs. Carter: There are two kinds of pupils in school, those that are always getting ready to do something and those who go ahead and do it. Don says things don’t turn up in this world until some one turns them up. Ralph G. says: “Noah was 600 years old before he knew how to build an ark,” so he thinks there’s hope for us yet. Don’t get discouraged. Man proposes, but God disposes says Edith S. Too much fresh air is just enough, says Prof. Unbelievable Freshman, signing enrollment blank. Born? Yes History Class:—Miss D.: “What was the Sherman Act? Mary O’Neil: “Marching thru Georgia.” Soph.: “This weather reminds me of my boardbill.” Fresh.: “Going to spring that one about all over due?” Soph.: “No, its because its unsettled!” Editor: “All Jokes handed to me must be written on tissue paper so I can see through them. If a girl is naughty, will a carpet beater? Fresh.: I swallowed a nickel yesterday. Do you see any change in me? Why is copper the most harmless of metals? Because it is always in-a-cent. (Innocent.) The Sophomores ne’er do change their minds But who can think this strange? The reason’s clear, a Sophomore sure Has not a mind to change. Miss Douglass: “Arthur, what are you doing? Learning something?” Arthur McCloskey, (very meekly): “No ma’am, I was just listening to you.” Because Colorado has a Silver Bell, is that the reason Wisconsin has a Bell Center? Mr. G.: “Give the name of a triangle and define it.” Wm. Evert: “Equiangular, having four equal sides.” Miss D.: “Clement is not doing as good work this year.” Leona G.: “O, he has a small speck on his mind.” English II were reading the “Merchant of Ven ce”. Catheryn McDonald was called upon to read the paragraph: “Who chooseth me shall gain what many men desire.” This is the way she read it. “Who chooteth, shooseth, choothes me shall gain what many men desire.” Mr. G. in Geometry Class: “Two things can be alike and yet not congru- ent, for instance “Wm’s” shoes are just like mine only larger.” Miss Gray in English II: “On what grounds do you say (think) the prince of Morocco is conceited? Mar. Welsh (aside:) “Coffee grounds.” Miss Green, Senior German: “Edith will you please compare mehr. Edith: “Mehr, mehrer, mehrest, (much, mucher, muchest.) The other day Morris gave Mae a candy heart with the reading, “As you say” on it. She evidently said yes for in a few minutes he passed one over, “Waiting Dearie” on it. She looked very pleased but in a few minutes all her smiles vanished for he passed her another candy heart with “Pa says no” written on it. Floyd: “Lets watch the French courtship.” Blanche: “WTiere?” Elmer W.: “She used to come from Bridgeport, now she’s from Froelich.’’ Flossie Thomas: “Did Frieda go to the Picnic Saturday?” Norma F.: “Why sure, wasn’t it on Glenn’s farm?” Three little Junior girls went to the hills, With sacks on their backs which each one fills, They shucked every nut that from the trees fell, And the rest of the story their hands will tell. This year being Leap Year the four classes have unusual officers: Senior, a Wachter; Junior, a New Gaurd; Sophomore, a Herold; Freshman, a Copper. “Why are you so certain there is no such a thing as a fourth dimension?” “Because,” replied Wm. Evert “If there was, I’d have it.” This year the Freshman have the newest and most original way of making themselves known to their fellow students. Every Thursday morning they speak pieces for us. Sophomore: “What’s the difference between lunch and luncheon?” Smart Freshie: “About two dollars.” Freshman: I want to get a chicken. Grocer: Do you want a pullet? Freshman: No, I want to carry it. Junior: “Why are eggs after Easter like Sophomores?” Senior: “Because unvariably they were fresh the year before.” Often the girl who thinks she has a broken heart will find it is simply a loss of appetite. Basket Ball in P. D. C. ' j, “Tear em up—Tear em up. Eat em up alive,” yells the coach. “Raw, Raw, Raw,” the boys in the seats. “Mercy”, remarked a lady missionary from Abyssinia, “Is this a cannibal country too?” Freshman: “I bo’t a fine clock the other day.” Senior: “0! did you?” Freshman: “I wound it up and it ran all the way home.” Miss Green: “What is a bachelor?” Arthur Me: “Its the same thing as an old maid only has different gen- der and voice. Many a man shortens his days by lengthening his nights, says Miss Green. I don’t care how much a woman talks if she will only say it in a few words, says Colonel. Miss Grey, in History Class: “What kind of stoves did prehistoric man use?
