Altho I had learned that glaciers were mountains of ice, when I studied geography as a Freshman, I had never before had the opportunity of seeing a real one. The scene was, indeed, beautiful. The sky overhead was a deep blue, and the ocean below a shade deeper. Con- trasted with these was the glacier: a huge, rugged, grayish-white mass of snow and ice, stretching far to the northward. Here and there were darkened spots, and the surface, made irregular by numerous crevices, resembled any other mountain top. As I looked upon this, I realized that it was another wonder of nature. I yearned to climb to the summit of this mountain of ice, somewhat from the de- sire to View it more closely, but, above all, to satisfy my want of some thrilling ad- venture. I tried to urge my friends to go with me, but they refused, striving hard to make me see the danger of such an enterprise. No one would accompany me. What could I do? There was only one course to follow, and that was to in- terest the captain so that he would grant n1y request to use one of the life boats. I had already heard that the steamer was to lie at anchor at this point for about an hour, in order to give the passengers ample time to study this wonderful Muir Glacier. This would give me time for my adventure. I put on a brave front, and approached this stern Seaman. I calmly laid my peti- tion before him, after which he began to laugh heartily. When he had become so- ber again, he looked at me critically, and said, Jack, what under the sun made you think of such a thing? You don't realize the danger. Do you see those big cracks? Yes, I answered. If I sound the gong of this vessel, the glacier will break at one of those weak places and come floating this way. See, he said, as he blew the horn. He was correct. A large section of ice broke off and came drifting towards us in the form of an iceburg. A cheer from the passengers now on board this boat will do the same, he con- tinued. Don't try, I advise you. I have known the Muir for a good many years, and I tell you, I wouldn't risk it. It 's too dangerous. ' ' This appeal did not down my deter- mination to carry out this project, and at length, when my wits were almost ex- hausted, the captain said, Go ahead, but don't blame me. Immediately I prepared to leave, lowered the boat, and put on warmer clothing. As I was about to set out, I tendered the passengers another invita- tion, which several accepted, thinking it would be a great honor to go at least to its base, in order to be able to say, We touched the wonderful Muir Glacier of Alaska. NVe even stood on its base. They did not venture one step beyond its foot, but faithfully promised to wait for me while I attempted such a dangerous deed. I shall never forget the climbing of that glacier. Every step I took, I felt it creak and crack beneath me. Therewas a con- stant roaring of canyons, the growling of bears, and the snarling of tigers. Now and again there was the pealing of thun- der. In short, every horrible sound that existed mingled in this terrifying chorus. It was awful. I would have returned to the group of expectant friends waiting for me below, had not my giant determination con- quered my fear and helped me reach the summit. I at last accomplished my de- sire. What a wonder I am, I said to my- self. HI must make use of my camera, so that I can have something of which to boast when I return home, where people grumble over two inches of snow in Jan- uary. This mountain of ice was surely filled with gorges or canyons. Yes, deep can- yons, just as interesting as the Colorado. .5--an wwe.

All save the River Root Lay wrapped in robes of rest undrawn, Awaiting with patience, calm and mute, The awakening voice of Dawn.

An angel clothed in purest white Came soaring from the distant East. A moment he paused, then banished night, And summoned the Sun from his sleepy peace. -Frank Webers, '12, CHUMS Philip Barton and Eaton Ford were business men in the city of Morton, Cali- fornia. These two men had been children together. They both entered high school, and waded through the perplexities of the Freshmen, side by side. But these two boys were very different in their na- ture and appearance. Philip was tall, stately and fair-haired, his friend Eaton, short, heavily built, and dark. Philip had to work hard for all he learned, while Eaton, who was naturally bright and never studied, still outshone his friend in all his classes. Eaton had graduated with high honors, Philip was content to get through on a hard-earned seventy-five. They had entered the same college, and had graduated together. They had al- ways been chums and shared each other's joys and sorrows. They had stood by each other through thick and thin. Never once had they failed. Would they always stand the test? These two boys were now men. One, Philip, was editor of the leading newspa- per of Morton, the other, Eaton, was a promising young lawyer in the same city. One day the test came. Both men were candidates for mayor of the city of Mor- ton, but on opposing tickets. Would their friendship continue? Would they stand the test? Would one care if the other were elected? Election day dawned clear and bright, as all Republican election days do. Both men stood a good chance. At the polls that day one would defeat the other. Would it make any difference to these men which it would be? Both men had hoped, and tried to gain this oflice. At eight o'clock the election returns would be in. Which would be mayor? Would it be Philip or Eaton? Both, anxious to hear the returns, were at the office where the returns would be made known. At eight o'clock the message came. Philip Barton was elected mayor of Morton. The elec- tion had been close, but he had won. For a moment Eaton Ford was dazed. He had been uncertain, still he had hoped. He had longed for this office as executive of the city of Morton. Now Philip, his life-long friend, had defeated him. He had been conquered, but only for a mo- ment. Then he conquered himself and, walking up to Philip, his boyhood friend, his college friend, and now his friend in business, he slapped him on the back and extended his hand, saying with a true ring of sincerity in his voice, Congratu- lations, old man. -Anna Rasmussen, '12 .gri ll We -av.: .affrm-f .v-. -i ' ' um- 5.

Time was when the Latin was clean and new, And the Chemistry green and fair, But that was the time when life's joys were few- When each moment was filled with care. Sometimes we went to a party, 'tis true, Or a good game of basketball, But the gloomy shroud of those hated books Vilas with us in spite' of it all. Sometimes in the gayety of a crowd We nearly lost sight of our care, Then we would suddenly think-right out loud- I've a lesson in French to prepare. -Ruth Jones, 'l2. A SEARCH FOR THE TRUE. CHRIST- MAS SPIRIT. Now once upon a time there lived a great king, who was many years old. No one knew just how old, for he had been living as long as anyone could remember, and probably longer. He was called Man- kind. When he was young he had been very good and happy, for he had a kind Father, who taught him only that which was noble and true. But as he grew older he longed to go forth and see the world, so he left his home and departed from the way which his Father had taught him to follow. Eagerly he began to explore un- known lands and to conquer them, until he possessed the whole earth. By this time he thought he knew so much that he no longer needed the guidance of his Fa- ther. Finally, it seemed as if he had for- gotten Him entirely. After this king had traveled over the earth he settled down and began to write books and to paint beautiful pictures. He also read a great many books and began to discover and invent new things. He studied all the books written by wise men and learned much. But one thing puzzled him greatly. He had read all that had been written about it, and had consulted with many wise men concerning it, but he felt that even the wisest had only vague ideas of the true Spirit of Christmas. One night before Christmas, as he walked along through a heavy snowstorm and saw all the windows gayly lighted and many people hurrying along the street, he thought of his Father and wished that he could ask him about the Christmas Spirit. As long as the wisest among men had failed him, he knew that his Father alone could tell him the truth. Just as he thought this, he felt some one take his hand, and he looked down at a little child. Who are you? he asked rather grufiiy. I am going to help you find the true Christmas Spiritf' the child answered with a smile. Your Father sent me. Come. He led the old king up the steps of a large, well-lighted house. The windows were gayly decked with holly wreaths. Many people were hurrying about, some were laughing, but most of them were frowning. The child and the old king en- tered a room where a. young girl and her mother sat. The girl 's beautiful forehead was deeply puckered. 'What can I give her for Christmas, mother? she asked. Why, my dear, answered her mother, really, I don't think it is necessary to give her anything. But I have to, mother. Think of the beautiful fan she 'gave me last Christmas. I don 't like her, but I must give her some- in I -inwsfasamiamsuiassfs I ' 1 ' . . ,, 1 T ,,,, g ' 'Q K - .sfwws-- '.sxlr thing nice. Oh, dear, Christmas is such a bother! Surely this is not the true Spirit of Christmas, said King Mankind to the child. No, indeed, returned the child, abut so many people think it is. We will have to search farther. They left the large house and entered a much smaller one nearby. In the only room sat a mother. She was working on a small doll's dress for her little girl, who was asleep in the corner. All the other little girls would have dolls for Christmas, and no matter how much it cost, her child should have one, too. 'Now, although her eyelids drooped and her back was weary, she was carefully dressing it. The old king looked at the child. UI wonder-, he began. But the child shook his head and pulled him away. I was afraid you might be deceived, he said. Christmas is a bother to that poor mother, too. The old king became rather angry. I don't believe you know what the Christmas Spirit is, he said. It surely must have been the true Spirit of Christ- mas that made that poor woman sit up all night to dress a doll for her child. Ah, but she isn't doing it because she wants to give the doll to the child. She does it so the neighbors cannot say that she is 'too poor to give her little girl a doll for Christmas. This rather puzzled the old king, but still he followed the child. L They walked along through the snow for some time until they came to a street lined with brilliantly lighted stores. Two little girls, each hugging a beautiful doll, were walking along just in front of them. A little hunchback stood before a store window, gazing longingly at the display of dolls. One of the little girls, uncon- sciously clutching her doll tighter, stopped and watched her. Her companion at- tempted to pull her on, but she stood hesi- tating. Then, with a sudden resolve, she placed the doll in the arms of the little hunchback. She, the little cripple, looked startled at first, then she smiled a won- derful smile at the unselfish giver. The child smiled, and the king smiled. Then the king drew the little girl toward him. Why did you give her your doll? he asked. t'To make her happy, was the reply. I know that must be the true Christ- mas Spirit, said the old king to the child. But what do you call it? And the child whispered in his ear, Love.H -Helen Van Arsdale, '12.

Hlietls have a flower contest, and see who can fashion the prettiest blossomf' Many flowers already bloomed in Fairy- land, but the idea was a pleasing one, and each fairy tried to make her flower more beautiful than any ever seen before. The forget-me-notis pale blue was borrowed from the sky, the poppy's deep red from the rays of the setting sun, a stray sun- beam was caught, and from its gold the beautiful goldenrod was formed. Flowers of all colors and shapes made their appearance in the garden of the fairies, and finally all the fairies had tried their skill except one tiny nymph. As she gazed at the beautiful flowers, thinking sadly, VVhy can I not make lovely blos- soms, too? a fleecy white cloud floated by. Chancing to look up, she saw it just disappearing from view. A happy thought came to her, and, journeying to the sky, she obtained from a generous cloud a piece of its snowy white garment. From this she fashioned six slender petals, from a little gold she made a center, and from the finest of Mother Earth's green moss she wove on her magic loom a tall stem and several leaves. Next day the fairies visited their gar- den, and lo! an Easter lily stood in the midst of the flowers, rising in its purity and majestic beauty high above its bright companions. -Agnes Crockett, '13, THE STUDENT'S PROGRESS In the Similitude of a Dream CWith Apologies to Bunyanb As I walked through the halls of our High School, I lighted on a certain place where should be a rest room, and I laid me down in thatlplace to sleep, and as I slept I dreamed a dream. I dreamed, and behold, I saw a Student, wrapt in grief, standing with his face from his own school, a Physics in one hand, a Chemis- try in the other, and a great burden of books upon his back. I looked, and saw him open a book and read therein, and, as he read, he wept and trembled, and not being able longer to contain, he broke out with a lamentable cry, saying, What shall I do? What shall I do lest I Hunk? In this plight, therefore, he went home, and refrained himself as long as he could, that his fond parents should not perceive his distress, but he could not be silent long, because that his trouble increased. Wherefore, at length he brake his mind to his fond parents, and thus began to talk to them: O my sweet mother and my dear father, I, your beloved son, am in myself undone by reason of a burden that lieth hard upon me. Moreover, I am for certain informed that I shall flunk by the hand of my Heartless Instructors, in which fearful catastrophe both myself and thee shall miserably come to disgrace, ex- cept Cthe which yet I see notj some way of escape can be found, whereby I may be deliveredf, At this his doting relations were sore amazed-not that they believed that what he said to them was true, for, like the Faculty, they had once been young themselves CHD and were Wise to ways of youth--but that they thought that some frenzy or distemper had got into his head. Therefore, it drawing towards night, and they, hoping that sleep might rest the aching void wherein most people keep their brains, with all haste they got him to bed. But the night was as troublesome as the day, for shadows in the shape of a Physics Test on the morrow and five pages of Fritz auf Fereinu hov- ered about his head. Wherefore, instead of sleeping, he spent the night in sighs and tears. So when the morning was come and his parents would know how he did, he told them, Worse and worse. But they had begun to be hardened. They thought to drive away his distemper by harsh and surly carriages, and insinuating suggestions concerning the benefits of profitable labor for a malady such as his without the walls of the High School.

They chided him even unto the point of bidding him pursue his lessons, wherefore in the countenance of so impossible a statement he would immediately betake himself unto the Bijou to meditate and pity his Dear Teachers and condole his own misery. He would also walk solitari- ly, or with others of his kind, in the halls of our High School, sometimes meditat- ing, sometimes Cmore oftenj merely wan- dering. And thus for some days he spent his time, until Authority took away his privileges for so doing. Now I saw, upon a time, when the Stu- dent was walking in the halls, that he was, as he was not wont, reading in his book, and was greatly distressed in his mind, and as he read, he burst out, as he had done before, crying, What shall I do? What shall I do lest I Hunk? I also saw that he looked this way and that as if he would run, for he thought that he heard the jingle of keys. Yet he stood still, because, as I perceived, he knew not which way to go. I looked. then, and saw that it was a man named Alumnus coming to him, who said: Wherefore dost thou cry? He an- swered, Sir, I am for certain informed that I shall Hunk by the hand of my Heartless Instructors, and then I must go into the Great World to seek my fortunef' Then said the Alumnus, 'tWhy not will- ing to go into the Great World, since this School Life is so filled with burdens? The Student answered, If I cannot do the work of our High School, it is plain that I cannot earn my bread in the Great World and expect my eiorts to be crowned with success. Then said Alumnus, Ulf this be thy con- dition, why standest thou here, bewailing thy Fate?'l He answered, Because I know not what to doll' Then Alumnus gave him a parchment roll, and there was 'written within, Bluff! The Student therefore read it, and look- ing upon Alumnus very carefully, said, How shall I bluff? What!,' said he, and he was much amazed, is there a Stu- dent in the Class of 1912 who knows not how to bluff? Then did Alumnus ex- pound unto the Student the manner of Bluffing, for being himself an Alumnus, he was indeed an authority. t'Do you see yon large building? said Alumnus. I think I do,', said the Student. Do you see yon shining lights? said Alumnus. Yes, replied the other. They, said Alumnus, are the foot- lights upon the platform you hope to as- cend to receive your Diploma. Keep those lights in your eye, and bluff! ' Now I saw in my dream that the Stu- dent began to bluff. He even resigned from his Club in order that he might devote himself to the art, and so well did he succeed that he became President of the R. H. S. Literary Club, and Lord High Mogul, Head Monitor of the Assembly. And I saw in my dream that he would maintain a dignified silence in his class- rooms, but when the recitation was over he would go to his teachers and ask of them many and learned questions. And so they came to believe that his Knowl- edge was great. And I saw, too, that at the close of each five weeks, before the Grades were out, he would go to his Teachers and engage them in pleasant and polite conversation. It was not long before the Faculty began to believe that the Student was really a Bright Boy. 26 it 'li Ill it :Ir Sl! 'li Now I saw in my dream that time had past, and that the Student had come to a place somewhat ascending, and upon that place stood Reward. The Student trav- eled slowly and with great difficulty, for the burden of books was still heavy upon his back. So I saw in my dream that the Student stood upon a level with the foot- lights, and as he received his Diploma, the burden fell from his back, and I saw it no more. if iff 46 fl? fl? if 48 if And the Student joined the Alumni. -Regina Mohr, '13. 1Mgyg, THR.-- -g3? f1mi-:ff Kgv'5c4w1 in 1 k x y H 1U'lHl 'll l' I ml ulll Ill I H I Ill ul' n Ill I m Ullll 'Ill ull X I .

There are many beautiful and interest- ing things which delight the eye on a sun- ny June day. Come, reader, and take a walk with me through a broad street of an Eastern city. All about us the large elms seem to be whispering to one another as they spread out their monstrous branches. The trees near the curbstone on one side of the street meet those on the other, and form a leafy arch over our heads. The lawns are velvety green. Here and there we see gray squirrels chasing one another. As they disappear among the branches we hear them scold- ing, probably about a large butternut some one has thrown to them. The gar- dens are laden with lovely fiowers, and the verandas of the houses are artistical- ly arranged with wicker chairs and ta- bles, plants and jardinieres of wild- Howers. We hear a canary bird singing from its cage on a veranda-singing as if trying to drown the song of that bird perched on the gable of the roof two houses beyond. Now let us wander through one of the public parks. The roses are the pride of the park at this season of the year, for they are in their highest glory. Thou- sands are climbing over arches leading to a rustic summer house also overgrown with roses. There on our left are beds shaped like stars and blooming with pan- sies. To our right, the water in the pond is as clear as crystal, it reflects the white ducks floating gently upon it. Upon go- ing down into the Sunken Garden we stand before another much smaller pond. The water here appears orange in color, but it is only because of the great number of goldfish swimming about in it. Weep- ing willows hang over the pond as if to let their tears fall into it. There are sum- mer houses about here upon which morn- ing-glories blossom. As we leave the park we get an excel- lent view of the city in the distance. The gold-leaf dome of the capitol is the most conspicuous object as it shines in the light of the sun. Trinity College can be plainly seen: also the spires of the churches, which seem almost to pierce the sky. It is not any wonder. after taking these observations. that I say to you, VVhen does Mother Earth shed forth her beauties as on a June day? -Lillian Sponsel, '1-1. APOLOGIES T0 SIR H.

This lad is free from servile bands, He never has to fear exams, But we would rather like to tell We're sure this lad will ne'er do well. -Charles Carpenter and Jack Ramsey, ,14 THE TRAGEDY OF LONESOME VALLEY It was early summer, a fearful storm was raging o'er the land, the lightning fiashed across the valley, the thunder growled threateningly above the moun- tain topsg the wind roarcdg and the rain came down in torrents. In a lone, solitary hut at the base of one of the high mountains, a battle between Life and Death was taking place. In the doorway stood a man. tall and gaunt. His eyes were blazing with anger and his hand was uplifted as if to strike. As a fiash, more vivid and terrible than any preceding, lit up the sky with weird brilliancy, he raised his arm yet higher and relentlessly brought it down upon the form of his victim. The lightning ceased, the thunder died away, and the wind grew calm. Only the gentle spatter of the rain, singing a mournful dirge of the tragedy in the hut, was heard. Alas! The mosquito was dead, and all was again peace. -E.

As our ship Mauretania sailed slowly into the harbor, a busy sight met our eyes. On every side stood bales of cotton and wool, sacks of grain and shiploads of meat, which had been unloaded from steamers reaching port before us. Further down the wharf the Lusitanial, Was being loaded with manufactured products: cot- ton, woolen and silk cloth, cutlery, steel rails and engines-all for the United States. After leaving our steamer, we took a ca- nal boat to Manchester, where we stayed for several days, and where we visited the cotton and woolen mills, which are the largest in the world. A short visit at Lancaster followed, then we went to the lake region of 11orth- ern England, made famous by the poets Wordsworth, Shelley and Keats. There we spent two weeks of perfect enjoyment, Lake Winderniere and Derwentwater be- ing most interesting. One cannot describe the scenery and do it full justice. The calm, peaceful lakes lay in the broad valleys, those hedges of hawthorne and wild rose, so suggestive of England, marked the gently rolling hills out into fields. In the foreground the small farms dotted the landscape, off in the distance were the beautifully wooded slopes of Helvelyn and Ski ldaw. The is A g I i. , g ' ' . cresr .

I do not wonder that Wordsworth so loved to linger here and muse upon the glory of the daffodils which lived on the banks, and which were in full bloom at the time of our visit. I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, VVhen all at once I saw a crowd, A host of golden daffodils, Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in tl1e breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never ending line Along the margin of the bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced, hut they Outdid the sparkling waves in glee: A body could not but be gay In such a jocund companyfl VVc then journeyed across country to Newcastle, on the Tyne River. Here We saw the 4'Black Gatefl an old, old castle which figured in the early days of Eng- land, the coal boats. which were manned by hardy seamen as black as negroes from handling the coal, and many other objects of interest. Next followed a week spent in roaming over the North Yorkshire moors and visit- ing Ferridell, a little town and one of Eng- land 's most beautiful spots. This town is situated on the northern end of the moors and faces the Cleveland Hills. It is a love- ly, sequestered place, with a little river running through it. The streets were paved with cobble stones. In its midst was a quaint old church with its faithful pastor. Unmoved by the rush of the more civilized world beyond the borders of their native moors, the rustic inhabitants gath- ered around him like sheep around a shep- herd. Our first stopping place after leaving the moors was York, the capital of York- shire. Here we walked upon the walls, which were built in ancient times by the Romans for the protection of the city. Built of huge blocks of stone, they are al- most ten feet high and so wide one can walk all around the city with perfect ease and safety. At regular intervals are towers which used to be lookouts. We also visited the famous York Cathedral and had a talk with the organist, a ,per- sonal friend of ours. The next day we visited Leeds and Bradford, where, also, are extensive cot- ton and woolen manufacturing plants. It was a curious sight, as we steamed into the station of Leeds early in the morning, to see the crowds of women and girls hurry- ing to the factories. Their feet were en- cased in clogs and their heads were cov- ered by gay shawls. At Sheffield we made a stop to see the cutlery, at Birmingham a brief stop to see the great steel works, at Oxford and Eton to glimpse at those noted schools, then we were off for London. Each day was full of sights and won- ders. We visited the Houses of Parlia- ment, the great churches and cathedrals, Buckingham Palace, the house of the royal family, caught a glimpse of Queen Alex- andria and Edward VII in state robes, and, in Westminster Abbey, roamed at will in among tombs of kings and queens, lords and nobles, heroes and poets. We spent many hours watching the great ships from all parts of the world come into port load- ed with raw materials, and go away stocked with the manufactured products. VVe also spent a day going through the Tower of London, that famous old prison, Fllld another at Greenwich, where we stood, or imagined we stood, on zero meridian. By the end of July we had seen all we wished to see, so we went back to Grange- town, tl1e home of our grandparents. Leaving Grangetown on the evening of August 31st, we reached Liverpool next morning and embarked on the Cain- paniaf, reaching New York Sept. 19th, and Racine Sept. 11th. And so our trip through England was ended, but so greatly did we enjoy it that we intend to spend a year or two there again as soon as we possibly can. -Janet Smith, '15, V I as 5 W , E f a 9 X if , Mgfyf x YN x X mx 3, E f f tw. fm 5' ,,,,,.-,M . - - M, m,,, .,f.,.,,.,, wk, In :ix.V,,,bb mw,,,,,,k,, 4..k F. .. . .. . ,,,k K S, ., R, .K -- . a z, ' -, , -. 1 W . 5', , M '- ff IFS. . .

It may have been the first time that these plodding animals had traveled this trail, for they had just been purchased by the young man who was driving them. Behind them, in a new spring wagon, were seated three companions of the driver. Here, James, said Lucius, get in here and let me take my turn at driving, since I own a half interest in this turnout I propose to do my part of the work. These oxen will have to learn our way before they can be of much use to us on our farms, and we may as well teach them now how we Connecticut folks manage an ox team. Cousin Sid, he continued, you will have to try driving next, and Stephen will be last in turn, because he is the youngest. The person he addressed as Cousin Sid was a tall, slender man of about thirty years, dignified in manner and quiet of speech. He had left his business as merchant in Massachusetts to join his father in the West. As soon as his seven- teen-year-old brother, who was attending Bennington Academy, heard of Sidney's decision, he announced that he, too, should go to Milwaukee county CWisconsin was then a part of Michigan Territoryj and help his father subdue the wilderness. James and Lucius were just at that time ready to buy a farm near the mouth of Root River, so the four young men ar- ranged to travel together, and on this morning in February, 1836, they were, one and all, glad that they had nearly reached the end of the long, tedious and difficult journey. Not because rest was to be found there, but because it was the end of their quest. Toward noon they met a man who told them that they were only about four miles from Racine. Eagerly, then, Sidney urged James to walk with him to the set- tlement, leaving the other two compan- ions to follow with the team. They strode rapidly away through the forest and were KW sf- wif? U soon out of sight of the two boys, both of whom now walked beside the oxen, be- cause they were too impatient to sit in the wagon. An hour or two later the boys had reached the place where Racine College now stands-not that they were following the shore of Lake Michigan, for the shore line then was more than a quarter of a mile east of where it is today. But this was a memorable spot, because just here the boys were met by friends from the village who had come out to greet them. One of this number was Ste- phen's father, and in the joy of meeting, the boy and man almost forgot the long year of separation. At the public house they found Sid- ney and James waiting for them, and they all enjoyed the good dinner served to them by the landlord himself. Late in the afternoon the father turned to his younger son, saying, Well, boy, you and I must be going over to our cabin before dark. , Hearing this remark, the generous- hearted landlady came forward, saying, Mr, Sage, here are a few dishes that you may have to use in your cabin if you in- sist upon staying over there, and I have packed, in a basket, some things that you and your son will enjoy eatingf, Such was the generous hospitality found in this western country, and it was deeply appreciated by our two pioneers. After leaving the house they walked to the end of the Only street, which was a short one, then the father guided his son across the rough, frozen ground to the edge of a bluff. Here they stood for a mo- ment, for before them was a scene that the boy never forgot. It was one that, years and years afterward, he longed to describe to some artist who could reproduce it upon canvas. The side of the bluff upon which they stood was almost a perpendic- ular wall, and at its base, thirty feet be- low, wound Root River. Stretching be- yond the river to the west was the low- land covered with maple trees, but the- glory of the scene was the great bluff that I N- . t - , - - . . L KA gps . K W My S1W m i. ,, I we .

The towering trees of all varieties of hard wood not only crowned the top of the bluff, but covered its sides as well. 'LI thinkf' said the father, that I have never seen a more beautiful piece of tim- ber than that one, and over there is our cabin. Noticing the light of the setting S1111 gleaming low through the great trees, he said, Come, boy, we must hurry on. Cautiously they made their way down the steep side of the bluff, crossed the frozen river, and pushing through the tan- gle of vines and undergrowth of the low- land, they entered the wood at the foot of the opposite bluff. It was hard to climb to the top, but when they finally reached the log cabin the father unbuttoned the door, saying, 'fHere, Stephen, is our home, we shall share it together. There was one room in the little cabin, ten feet wide and twelve feet long. In one corner was a sha.kedown bed, the mattress was a spreading of prairie hay covered with scanty bed clothing. The room contained two other important arti- cles that were commodities as well. a bar- rel of flour and a barrel of beef. Best of all the furniture was a small cook stove, and the pile of wood just outside the door looked encouraging. We shall not stop to consider the mode of cooking used by these cabin dwellers, nor chronicle their recipes for bread and butter, nor learn how, together, they cut logs to make into three-legged stools, a cupboard for their dishes, and a shelf for the Bible and a few other books that they had brought in their trunks. VVhen they finally had made a table they felt really patrician, because they no longer dined from the head of a barrel. But out of doors was the stillness of the forest, under the light covering of snow was that deep, thick carpet of leaves that had been gathering for no one knows how long. Together these two companions felled the forest trees, first selecting those on the side of the bluff, rolling them to the bot- 5341911 cv tom, where they sawed them as they need- ed them. Many logs were hauled to the saw-mill at the Rapids to be used aft- erward in a new frame house. So 111any kinds of wood used in this building have now become rare that today the house is really valuable because of the material it contains. Imagine how black walnut sid- ing or clapboards would astonish people nowadays. In the log cabin there were spent com- fortable days in 1836, but the winter nights brought some suffering. The wind reached through the cracks between the logs and often snow found its way through too. Sometimes the prairie wolves and foxes came sniffing about the door. but no one was ever molested by prowling ani- mals of any kind. As spring advanced everything became interesting. Maple sap was gathered and made into sugar. The very first sugar that our pioneers had tasted in their cof- fee for months. The wild birds and wild flowers appeared. Of these, the young man found an endless number of unknown varieties that he always wished he might name correctly. The great fiight of wild pigeons that came and went each springtime in such marvelous numbers clouded the sun for hours in passing. Along the bayou Cwhere the J. I. Case plow factory is nowj he often saw the sand-hill cranes on parade. Ile was never able to approach very near these birds, for they were very alert. At sight of him they rose into the air and formed into line like trained soldiers. As they moved away in a sinuous course the line appeared i11 the distance like a great ser- pent moving along the sky. It was late in March that year when the ice went out of the river with a rush-and the current was swift and strong for many days fol- lowing. Meanwhile the inevitable northeast wind had made old Lake Michigan roll in sand until a huge bar stretched along near the shore. Higher and higher piled the sand until the river was walled in. It spread over the Hats, crept north and W g..A ,,,LL,. NM. ...,,,. .g,,N, , , 4..,, t . Ng,i V.

Thus the mouth of our Root River in those days moved at times north or south anywhere between Hamilton and Fifth streets of today. Crossing the ice had made the walk to Main street an easy one for our West Side companions in 1836, but now that the river was clear some craft for cross- ing the stream had to be found. The first boat was a dugout,H just a great bass- wood log in which had been hewn a cavity large enough for a man to sit in. Later a very pretty skiff superseded the unstable dug-out. ' ' Whenever a friend wished to visit this cabin in the woods he had but to walk to the east side of the river, call Halloo! when our young friend would rush to his boat, row to the other bank and quickly bring the visitor to the west side of the river. Three blocks is quite a long way to one 's front door, but hospitality is not measured by distance. This section of land where our two friends lived was bounded on the east and south by Root River. The west line was where the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad is now. The north line was de- fined by Duck Creek, that little stream that was a torrent in the spring. It ran in an undulating course through a deep ravine which was for years the dividing line between the Fourth and Fifth Wards. It received its name because it was a re- sort for the wild ducks in the spring and fall, during migration time. We read the obituary of this stream when our daily papers, a few years ago, announced that Duck Creek sewer had been formally ac- cepted by the Common Council. To those who love our river above the rapids, it will be interesting to know that the banks were once quite as beautiful all along-even as far for nearl as State Street bridge. The tall trees then were festooned with wild grape vines and the wild ivy glowed scarlet at the tops of trees as we see it now when We row up the river in the fall. VVe can hardly imagine this section, just defined, covered with the forest, but one delightful stroll, often described by our pioneer, was along the course of the river through the woods, crossing at Kin- zie's mill, then the path led him to the Indian mounds and just beyond to an opening made by a Hwindfallf' Near this place he always called to see an uncle who had a house there. Returning from such a stroll one summer evening, he reached home at dusk. There in the cabin he was startled to find four big Indians talking with his father. He was relieved to know that they were there only to rest a little before continuing their journey to Chicago. There they were going to at- tend a great meeting. The next morning our two friends went out to dig some early potatoes, some that they had planted in the spring and had watched and cared for with great interest. This morning they noticed many holes in the soft earth-proof that the Indians had reached into the ground with their long fingers and had drawn out some of the largest potatoes. They surely enjoyed a feast if they appreciated the tubers one half as much as did the men who raised them. The actual contrast between then and now we cannot appreciate nor really comprehend. How can we, in imagination, see the wild bees gathering honey from the Wild crabapple, locust, and basswood trees, where we really see the brick buildings of the Fish Brothers' factory spreading over the ground. In that spring of 1836, While our pio- neers Were out gathering sap from the maple trees that covered the flat, they were surprised to discover a nest of young wolves at the foot of the bluff. Now the splendid office building of the J. I. Case Threshing Machine Company cov- ers the spot where these animals were found. It was just west of this building where the young man of this sketch once shot some wild turkeys. He awoke one morning to learn that the FN I X K K -K . ,,,, L x,,, tv: I in we ,,,. W.. .,1,, . : .

The hoot PIIIKI screech owls often perched on the cabin at night, but their cries were 11ot in the least pro- phetic of the steam car and boat whistles that we now hear through the darkness. To those who so enjoy going into north- ern Wisconsin to hunt deer it will seem strange that when our young friend often saw the deer running across the fiat he had no desire to get his gun. The luxuriant vegetation and the prime- val state of everything was inspiring, but the one thought that possessed him, and every other pioneer, was the future. They all longed for habitations and for other inhabitants as well. Now that we have attained what they sought, we long for What they had-the forest, the quiet, and simple life. i Both father and son had a vision of a great city here on the lake, and they ex- pected the river would be navigable, so that great ships could one day sail up as far as our high railroad bridge. Their unswerving confidence in the locality and their nnceasing labor to make a city seem to have created a spirit that has lived through all the years. This section of that unbroken forest is today one of the busiest, most active parts of Racine. Fac- tories, railroads and shipping as well as many mercantile trades are there repre- sented. -Emma M.

CONVERSATION Past the point of exhaustion, with a brain and nerves working over time, I summoned Sleep. As I was wondering why prolonged contact with one 's fellow- beings sets one's nerves quivering. Sleep stole in and conducted me into the Great Beyond. I chanced upon a small group of persons playing a strangely familiar game. Sitting in a circle, they rolled a ball back and forth from one to another. Their keen enjoyment and eager interest aroused my curiosity. Turning to some one nearby, I asked: VVho are these people?l' These are the best talkers from earth. VVhat are they doing? They are playing the game of conver- sation. Watch and you shall see how it goes. There, one has taken a fresh ball, he sketches rapidly upon it, and rolls it into the center. See, another takes it, and carefully adds a few lines and rolls it into the center. Now it is finished. Look, each has made a copy for his own collec- tion. f'Do they keep their copiesflu Yes, indeed. Their collections are to them the source of Wisdom. They always have them at hand, and often in solitude study them to learn about life. Must they observe rules?'l 'tYes, many that are very difficult to observe. Like the Ten Commandments, they could be gathered into one or two great commandments. I cannot tell all, but here are a few: Always keep in the game. Do not monopolize the ball. czmwfwm ,Amr 'Z it HX is s: t'Never hurl the ball directly at another person. Never attach a string to the ball. HNever blot another's sketch or scrawl carelessly upon it. Never laster a big 'I' on the ball I p . . Only the skilled may attempt personal sketches. Never exchange an unfinished ball for fresh one of your own. '4Never roll the ball with unnecessary force or noise. I see these people are delighted with the game. VVhy are they so fewill' Because so few on earth realize that this game is actually an art. Many are proficient in the solitary arts, such as painting, sculpture, and the like, because in those they work independently of others. In the art of conversation one's work is often ruined by a thoughtless person. Naturally one falls into careless habits and gives up all hope of perfecting himself. Will there never be a serious study of this great art on earthlll' It is to be hoped there will. Wlien young and old learn to observe the rules, man will be refreshed by contact with his fellow-beings. Then the great I am will be found not only in the solitude of the forest, or of the mountain, or of the ocean, but in work-a-day conversation with one's fellow-men. -Harriet Harvey, 1899. GLIMPSEIS OF THE LIFE AT LAWRENCE. O'er the Fox the pale moon shimmered, Beauty veiled a silver dome, And the elms on the campus murmured softly, 'Lawrence is our dear old home.' College life takes on many different as- pects. Sometimes it may seem very busy and serious, at other times, our President says, There is danger of the side shows -swallowing up the circus.

Now those solemn nightly ceremonies have given way to the lavish application of paint in class colors to the large stone on the campus and to side- walks about the town. But on All College Day the whole school goes on a picnic, and the question of supremacy between the two lower classes is settled in a game of football, a tug-of-War, rowing, swim- ming, a sack rush and other contests. Then the hatchet is buried and peace reigns. At the beginning there was only one building on the campus. Main Hall was library, dormitory, class-rooms, labora- tories and all. The campus was much larger than now, and the trees were so numerous that many were cut down by the boys for firewood. Though many new buildings have sprung up around it, the old vine-clad structure with its stately pillars and sil- ver dome is still the center of college life. There the whole student body meets each morning in the chapel to be given the most inspiring and helpful thoughts, and is brought into touch with the larger world through able representatives of va- rious fields of activity. ' Now it is an evening in October. The large room is filled with people and an at- mosphere of intense enthusiasm. Strong and full rings out the c'Alma Mater. Then follows 'tRip Up the Ripon Line, Lawrence, for on Saturday afternoon Ripon is to buy victory at a very great cost or our campus is to be lighted in the evening with a blaze of glory to proclaim our championship! Or let it be the night of the inter-class oratorical. In the front sit the Seniors in their somber attire. Around them the other three classes vie with each other in enthusiasm and festivity of adornment, while from their midst step forth young Websters to represent them. - Again the scene changes.

But Father Time soon made of us Grave Seniors dignified, And then was when we all did feel So full of righteous pride. We'd blossomed forth in our own minds To students wondrous wise. With anyone below our class We could not sympathize. And now that we have all become Alumni of the High, We often think of those good days And can 't suppress a sigh. So let me say before I close, This book, your Annual, Is certainly worth much more to you, Than I could ever tell. -Lucile Shaw, '09, A MARVELOUS ANIMAL 4'What animal is greatest? The teacher put the quiz. 'tThe elephant? the tiger? Or bear? No, no! it is A little guinea pig! For the reason each did try. Then some one put the question, 4'VVill you kindly tell us why A little guinea pig? I thought you read the papers! She was vexed, we all could see, If I just recall the story You'll quite agree with me, A little guinea pig. il ll When that New York fire insurance Building burned down to the ground, Two weeks later, yet still living, In the ashes some one found A little guinea pig. The question now is settled, VVe no longer hesitate, If you made that curious query We'd immediately state A little guinea pig! --Helen Sawyer, '10, The Kodak. MASTER AND MAN The Captain stood where a Captain should, For the law of the Sea is grim, The Owner romped ere his ship was swamped And no Law bothered him. The Captain stood where the Captain should, When a Captain's boat goes down, But the Owner led when the women fled, For an Owner must not drown. The Captain sank as a man of Rank, While his Owner turned away, The Captain's grave was his bridge and, brave, He earned his seaman's pay. To hold your place in the ghastly face Of Death on the Sea at Night, Is a Seaman 's job, but to flee with the mob Is an OWner's noble Right. -B.

Fairmont School, March twenty fifth. Gladys Dearest,- The blow has fallen at last! Mother has always deplored my ignorance of how the other half lives, and she's tired of it now it seems. Ergo-I go to a settlement in New York for the Spring Holidays, while she goes to Bermuda to recuperate from her last suffrage tour. Poor thing, I don 't begrudge her the rest-Ashe must surely need it. But ye suffering saints, what will become of me? Do you really know what a settlement is, or where Henry Street is located, or what one does when one gets there? I don't. Is it children one cares for? Will I have to wash their hands and faces: and oh, will I have to hold the babies? I'm frightened to death of them and they'll all have colds I know. Maybe I'll catch one and die of pneumonia-Mother would be sorry then for I'm the only one to carry on her career. Just imagine me lec- turing, if you can! But more to the point, picture me on Henry Street and write often for 'tis a tearful figure you gaze upon. My love to the girls. Ever your devoted, Hope. P. S. I was going on Mary Grace's house- party to meet that fascinating roommate of her brother's we've all heard of so often. But in the interest of the cause one foregoes much. Only what is the cause in this case? Mother! H. R. On The Train, March 30. Glad dear,- I really must get it out of my system and you always were an obliging duck. It in this instance is Miss Virginia Van Vleet. That alliteration alone tells the tale but oh, how I wish you could see her! Clothed in pale tan, flowing veil, and white plumes, and carrying a gold chate- laine studded with jewels, sheyd be a splendid write-up for the Ladies' Home Journal's Good and Bad Tastel' page. Her conversation is even more fas- cinating than her sweet personality. She thinks she knows Aunt Elizabeth, I imag- ine: or at least she thinks that I think she does. I've never heard of her. For two steady hours the dear thing has been spin- ning yarns of Coronada and Palm Beach, House Parties in the Adirondacks, and motor trips through the Berkshires-so- ciety with a capital 'S has been revealed to my school ears, or so she firmly believes. Of course I don't know Coronada, but Pal1n'Beach never saw the sights Virginia saw at Palm Beach. That I do know. I haven't dared tell her Where I'm go- ing for I feel sure Auntie's reputation would be quite ruined. Miss Van Vleet never could understand about settlements. She's been right good fun though and for quite some time I forgot the dances, and luncheons, and late breakfasts that I'm going to miss. But just going down to the station in the school 'bus, with the girls all singing I did feel sort of home- sick and envious. The green didn't match my blue hat so I had to stop. Even as I must now. Dear Virginia has finished her story so perhaps her imagination will en- tertain me further. Don't forget to write. Hastily, Hope. 2 Henry Street, New York City, The Night of my Arrival. Dearest Gladys,- ' I can't sleep so I'll scribble off my first impressions. First, I shall 'have to confess it doesnlt seem nearly so bad as I antici- pated. Getting here, though, was one long nightmare. Mother wrote me not to take a cab but the street car, and she told me what one. Then I lost the letter: or maybe packed it in my trunk. Anyhow it didn't do me one bit of good except to remind me that a taxi was forbidden. So after question- 2 W . i' I - . in K vkr. . .Mm L.- k,,, ., .IIA Vkfk M, .,,.: 2 Liril ,,.l .yik i i rlkg , an V,,i7ikL,r K, .K - .. .V . . Lhyy V- N M gn ,K V. V.

The conductor was cross and never had heard of Henry Street, so when We got to the Terminal I sailed off his old car and boarded the next one that came along. I rode on that for a long time and we went through the queer- est streets I'd ever seen. Every one must have been house cleaning for all the open windows and fire escapes were festooned with bedding and clothes, and lines of washing hung out over the roofs. Right in the pouring rain tool Do you suppose they were for decorative purposes? Hun- dreds of people were on the streets CBroadway in the middle of the day is tame compared with Grand Streetl, and there were dozens of funny little push carts. Finally the car started over the Wil- liamsburg Bridge and I knew I didn't want to be carried to Brooklyn so off I scrambled. When at length I pushed my umbrella open, I slipped my muff up over my arm, picked up my suit case, three magazines, Cwhy did I waste my pen- nies?l, purse, and pet clock, that I never dare pack, and started off none too hap- pily to iind Hitn. I walked miles and no Henry Street. So finally I plucked up courage to ask a cou- ple of youngsters if they wouldn't act as guides and porters, and rescue a fair maiden in distress. I just threw my suit case at them so somewhat unwillingly they were obliged to take up the search with me. Every ten or twelve feet we'd stop to rest in front of some saloon so our progress wasn't rapid, but after turning half a dozen corners we finally managed to get there. I had just started to open my purse for some change When a hundred or more dirty, sprawling youngsters scrambled up the steps, tumbling all over me and yelling like mad. Their sole ob- ject was to bang the shining, brass knock- er for me. Such is the etiquette of Henry Street. I thought the entire Zoo must have broken loose at the least. It was rather embarrassing to stand there with them all staring at me as though I was some unusual freak. I was thankful to tumble into the arms of the girl who opened the door, I wonder, am I so pe- culiar? A thousand thanks for your letter. It made me seem so Hat home to get one right off, though every one was lovely and cordial, and I'm not a particle home- sick. I really begrudge the tears I wasted over the place. Very sleepy. Good night-kisses, from Hope. April Ninth. Dear Gladys, I have about three minutes to spare be- tween a walk with the W-- club over Brooklyn Bridge and luncheon. Such fun as we had. The members are boys of about ten and twelve and they know more American History than even the Secretary of State, Ilm sure. Do you remember how many men were killed on each side at the Battle of Bunker Hill? Can you name the Presidents in order and give the impor- tant dates of Washingtonis life? I can't and I trembled lest they discover it. Therefore I started wild games of tag to avert historical discussion and finally asked the clever question, Have any of you ever seen a circus? ' No one had, but every one had a sister or a cousin or an aunt who had been so fortunate, and from that point there start- ed a chorus of family histories. What Mother said to Father upon the last occa- sion of his temporary but quite unexplain- able absences. How often big brother had escaped Hbeing pinched , and with how many beaux sister was blessed. I certain- ly did learn a lot of gossip but many a true fact too, which is more than can be said for some gossip parties. Do you know I forget all about the dirt and holes when I'm talking with the chil- dren. They're so bright and intelligent, i f e .,,, ,,. ,.,,,1 gk .,,. .. .. , ., .J,., .

The other night we had a progressive- game party for one of the clubs and dur- ing refreshments one youngster brought me some punch after I'd really had all I wanted. I gently refused-but no, that wouldn't do in the least. HOh, you must drink it for me , said Johnny in his most wheedling tone so of course I took it, wondering whether I was o11 Fifth Avenue or only Henry Street. I know you would ha.ve laughed to see me standing' in the receiving line, bidding good night to thirty young hoodlums and assuring each how glad I was to have made his acquaintance. However, it wasn't really a bit funny: just perfectly natural. For do you know they're all just like the rest of us except some of them have seen more of life. I hate to go back to the humdrum life at school and I shall miss the roar of the streets just as one does the ocean. I can almost understand why Fresh Air chil- dren so often pine away in the country for lack of some excitement. Yet not quite, for life on a farm has an interest tall its own. The decree is signed for the thir- teenth. Don't tell me thirteen is an un- lucky number after this. There goes the gong for lunch and I must away. My promptness at meals dis- closes all to plainly my Settlement ap- petite. Ever devotedly yours, Hope. 2 Henry Street. April Second. Gladys dear- If I write very disconnectedly please don't mind. I jump up about every five minutes to see the fire engines go by. No one else pays one speck of attention to them and I should think they'd feel right hurt. Yesterday there was a fire in the basement of a tenement near here and all the lodgers of the upper floors leaned lazily on the tire escape balconies and watched the smoke pour out. It was just V! W -.- W a pleasant, little diversion. A hurdy gurdy is twice as interesting and a Ger- man Band the height of excitement and bliss. They all seem to be mighty musi- cal, especially at one A. M. Between the male chorus which floats in my front win- dow Hlld the cat calls that soar in from the rear fences, I am lulled into peaceful slumber immediately my head strikes the pillow. My work is to help with the children, but they're not babies and I don't have to wash their faces. For which due thanks be given! VVe Cthat is the K--A-Club and ID are arranging a play. Itis to be a very finished production, and the cos- tumes are elaborate beyond measure. Flashing swords and gleaming pistols are very easily contrived from lots of wood and silver paper, while tobacco cans make wonderful tinder boxes. But I warn you now, never attempt any three cornered hats of cardboard. They haunt me in my sleep and dodge my footsteps by day. It's time for gym so I must go over. Gym is their pride a11d joy and I'm urged to attend every class. Itis a free circus, but some day I'll go down and referee one of their basketball games and then they 'll wish they'd never asked me. Iiovingly yours, Hope. Henry Street, April fifth. You dear Gladys- This isnit exactly about settlement work but itls East Side news and there- fore, lat least, new. Last night Miss B- took me to an Italian Theater. Up in the front row in the balcony we sat in decor- ous silence, munching peanuts and watch- ing our neighbors drink pop. The re- freshment man came around between each act so no one starved, It was grand opera we had come to hear, Caruso's famous Pagliacci. True simplicity was attained in the stage set- ting, but the costumes were works of art of every age and country from Sappho down to Barrie.

The orchestra had probably had a deadly quarrel for each instrument was striving nobly to drown out all the others. The result was an entirely orig- inal medley, warranted never to be sur- passed. As such, the audience evidently recog- nized its estimable worth and applauded vigorously upon all occasions. Next to me sat an especially entranced young m-an, who, noticing my vacant expression, undertook to explain the plot. His resi- dence in America couldn't have exceeded three months, and he hadn't been attend- ing school during that time either. I as- sented, whenever he rolled his big black eyes in my direction and gesticulated toward the stage with a somewhat bat- tered felt hat. However, since I was con- stantly obliged to seize the opera glasses to cover my mirthful eyes, my assertions were not very convincing. So he went all through the agonies time and again, till I began to feel apologetic. It was almost a relief when the curtain went down and I could remove my aching arm beyond the range of Miss B-'s punches. She understands sign language. Oh, but I've almost forgotten the fun- niest thing of all. Of course we had de- sired a libretto so I asked the usher to get one. No libretto came my wav. I asked again. Still no libretto, Three times I r ,fwx put in an urgent request and yet I never saw a libretto. Then I took the bull by the horns and departed down stairs in search on one myself. Boldly I walked into the main part of the house, minus hat and minus ticket, but carefully clutching my fifteen cents. A long-haired brigand accosted 'me and demanded my intentions. Very fully and distinctly I stated them and condescendingly he agreed to find a libretto. Therefore he held out his hand for the money but I was not to be thus snared, and I shook my head vigorously. W'hereirpon his face wrinkled into the most delightful smile I've ever seen and he made remark, Madame, I am the pro- prietor of the theater. Can't you trust me with your fifteen cents? Naturally I was crushed, but as he didn't have any more librettos after all, I'm glad now that I kept that precious fifteen cents. I wanted to spend it at the push carts on our way home for one can buy any- thing Hoff' them from jewelry to stock- ings Cguaranteed pure silk at ten cents a pairj, from lace curtains to pickles. But Miss BT hurried me on and wouldn't even let me get some delicious pink and yellow frosted cakes. I've dreamed of those cakes ever since. But I still have my iifteen cents.

REES There is no doubt that the high stand- ing of the Racine High School in athletics may be attributed to our able and admir- able Manual Training teacher and coach, Mr. Rees. Perhaps no other person in the Racine High School has ever done so much for the advancement of clean athletics as he has. The football and track teams of 1911 were good examples of his efforts to uphold the standing of the old Racine High School. ' The splendid character of Mr. Rees is brought forth Very clearly in all his deal- ings with the students. He is square in every way, and is always ready to give one a boost. A better-liked or more popu- lar coach than Mr. Rees is very seldom found, and it would be a mighty hard proposition to find a man who could re- place him. May we have him with us many years. -The Teams, '12. x . .. . t Q S 5 .1 L Al, . .ies - .7 ...I ll' 'lt ll mx tx .X A 77 .nm llllillillimllillgiimll wmllmm im minimum w C441 g 6 X fx N 1 Hmii i iimu lumiiiiiiiiilllliiiillhiii QNX- ,mu lllllllll mu h K!

Aubrey Harnett was elected cap- tain at a meeting held soon after the be- ginning of the season. Coach Rees soon rounded a team into shape, and we started our schedule on September 30th. East Division High of Milwaukee was our opponent. The game was poorly played. A disputed decision caused the East Division team to leave the field. The score was 5 to 0' in favor of East Division. Our second team was defeated in a pre- liminary game by the score of 6 to O. October Tth South Division High came to Racine to play. The teams were evenly matched and a fast game was played. The open game was frequently used. In the second half South Division threatened to score, but Racine recovered the ball on her one-yard line. By a series of line shifts we carried the ball to South Di- vision 's goal, the full length of the field, and Jones scored a touchdown. Racine failed to kick goal, but won the game by a score of 5 to O. Our next game was played in Kenosha. The first half was hard fought. The half ended with the score 5 to 0 in Racine 's favor. In the second half Racine played all around the Kenosha team and scored four touchdowns. The scores were made by Jones, Cahoon, Wright and Allen. Vtfright kicked goal. The score was 26 to 0. Saturday, October 28th, we played West Division of Milwaukee. The Mil- waukee team played like demons in the first half and held us 'to a five to nothing score. During the second half Racine made four touchdowns and kicked goal. Racine used the forward pass to good ad- vantage in this game. Xvright, Cahoon and Mitchell made the touchdowns. Row- lands kicked a goal. Score, 26 to O. Our second team also defeated VVest Di- vision 's second team by the score of 6 to 0. Pottinger scored the points for Racine. The next Saturday we played North Division at Milwaukee. A large crowd of rooters accompanied the team there. The second tea111 set an example for the older boys by winning their game by a ten to nothing score. Henken and C. Hood scored touchdowns for Racine. QlJQQ1.1.:1'.z-1r.-::S1f+ xr ? : f5'?lKAW?--gg 9.

A A l THE -19.14145 ' A -E -1g1'2IKAw1 I' cf HARNETT To Captain HA11b niuch of the credit for the successful season of 1911 is due. His faculty of inspiring the 111611 with con- fidence, together with his stone-wall play- ing at center, has won a warm place for him in the hearts of the H. H. S. students. The vacancy caused by his leaving this year will be hard to fill. WRIGHT Tl1e playing of 'tTnbby at quarter came as a revelation to the fans.

HSkinny was awarded an All-State berth by Hlillly critics. MITCHELL t'VVreck at right end furnished the 111ost striking example of grit and stick- to-it-iveness ever seen on the R. H. S. tea111. By deadly tackling and skill i11 catching punts and forward passes Mitch- ell gained the inuch coveted ho11or of All- State end. 1 'rr-in Li5iiz,tg1o ttts p Xf:MK1PIj5Aw1 1 M I Q7 , O 'DONNELL Irish at end put up a good. strong game whenever he was given the oppor- tunity. At running down punts a11d get- ting away with forward passes O'Donnell showed real class. He played a star game at North Side Milwaukee, and it was largely through his etforts that we were victorious. MARTIN No n1a11 on the team will be nlissed next year as will Gus, the old reliable tackle. YVhenever an opponent's rush was repelled for a loss Gus was sure to be at the bottom of the serinnnage. Ile had a reputation for outplaying nien twiee his size. Gus ended his two years of playing in a burst of glory. COLLINS L'Knoeker e11ded his two years of foot- ball by playing better than ever. In tackle plays he could always he relied on for a good gain. At taekling and break- ing up plays 6'Knoeker was superb, and will be niissed in 1912. CHARMOCK Heavy and fast.

Although not a regular, when given the chance his tackling was a feature. The North Division victory was uable man for the team next year. ENTHROP For his size and weight there is not partly due to his ability to break up plays and recover fumbles. He will make a val il D end in the State that could come up to A'Mag. Light on his feet, dead on W'EiND T In the two years in which Hub played on the team, he made an enviable record. From the opening of the season till the last game had been played Hub could be relied upon to keep in condition and play a strong, steady game. Few, indeed, were the gains made through his position, and many a time has a hard rush been repelled for a loss. We hope to see 4'Hub in uniform next fall. BELDEN Jack played a Wonderfully offensive game at half-back. At interference he was excellent. His quickness and sure- ness in carrying the ball were unsur- passed. Jack will be a valuable asset to the team next year. tackles, and good on running down loi punts, '4Mag was a valuable addition the team.

In this game, however, he made a creditable showing, which marks him as valuable material for the coming season.

At defensive work he was unsurpassed. Cahoon will probably be seen at half-back next year. THE GAME WITH SOUTH DIVISION The game we played with South Di- vision High School was probably the hard- est and .most exciting game of the Whole season. It was the third game on the scheduleg so the team was all ready to do its best. At about one o'clock the Milwaukee school team came in on the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric Railway, bringing a good bunch of rooters with it. They were met by manager Hood and several of our players and were taken to the Y. M. C. A. to get dressed for the game. After pre- paring for the battle both teams boarded a car for the park. The afternoon was ideal for a good game, no wind and not too warm. At promptly three-fifteen the teams trotted on the field for a little warming up, our team being followed up with cheers that completely drowned the opposing cheers. At last the referee's whistle sounded and the teams took their positions, Ra- cine defending the north goal. Again came the whistle, giving the signal to startg and Jack Belden gave the ball a neat kick to about South Division 's 30- yard line. where it was grabbed by the quarter-back. Ile did not go very far, however. before he was dropped in his tracks by one of our linemen. Both teams lined up quickly and South Division tried an end run, but it was of no avail. The second down resulted in the same way. 4'Punt forn1ation,'y called the quarter, and a pretty 40-yard punt Went sailing toward our goal. Jones, our fullback, gathered it in Without much trouble and started to run it down the field. After making about ten yards he was downed, and Al XVright called the signals for a buck across tackle, but we made nothing. Our second down gained us about five yards, so HAI' decided to punt. The game progressed this same way for three pe- riods and Racine found she must do some- thing in the last period to win the game. Finally the last period started. South Division seemed to have added much more strength to its team during the short rest, and the players rushed the ball down to our five-yard line. Things looked pretty black for us with South Division's first down on our five-yard line. The quarter called for a crossbuck play and it would have worked if the halfback had 11ot fum- bled. But our team was not made up of sleepy players, as was proved when Mitch- ell. our right end, dived head-first under the feet of about fifteen or sixteen men after the fumbled ball. t'First down, Racine, called the ref- eree. This put new life into our team and we determined to do our best. Just at this point something happened that great- ly handicapped us: Cahoon, our star half- back. had hurt his ankle and was unable to continue in the game. The best thing we could do was to take o11e of the lines- men and put in his place. The playing was resumed. Never did a team go down the iield so fast before. South Division seemed like a paper wall. VVe went along thirty and forty yards at a time until we got to South's live-yard line. Ilere AIN called Jones across right tackle for a touchdown. VVe failed to kick goal and after a few more minutes of hard playing the game was called with a score of 5 to 0 in favor of Racine. The team had played its best game and it all was due to the no- ble spirit of its players. -John Belden, 1913. AN ATHLETE 'S HE-ART From A Spectator. No. 13. February 16, 1912. Intenti exspectant signum exsultan- tiaque haurit, Corda pavor pulsaris laud- um que arrecta cupidsf' CH'l'hey await the signal eagerly, throb- bing excitement and eager passion for glory drain their bounding hearts. D I should perhaps have waived this un- dertaking, had I not been forced to it by our English teacher, who is very importu- nate with us to make us write something for the Annual better than we have al- ready done. It is, therefore, in com- pliance with necessity that I have under- taken this theme, which I shall enter upon without further preface. Our operator, before he engaged in this visionary operation, told us that there was nothing more simple in his art than to lay open the heart of an athlete, because it is connected only with the muscles by long tubes or tracks. He desired us first of all to observe the pericardium, or outward ease of the heart, which we did Very attentively, and by the help of field glasses discerned in it mil- lions of elevations and depressions, which seemed to have been occasioned by the al- ternate feelings of hope and despair. Nor nmst I here miss an experiment one of the company assured us he himself had made with the liquor which he found in great quantities about the heart of an ath- lete which he had formerly dissected. He affirmed to us that he had actually en- closed it in a small glass tube made after the manner of a weather glass, but that, instead of acquainting him with the varia- tions of the atmosphere, it showed him the qualities of those persons who entered the room where he stood. Ile affirmed also that it rose at the approach of a pair of broad shoulders, a lettered sweater or a gold medal, and that it fell as soon as a professor came i11to his house. Nay, he proceeded so far as to assure us that upon his discussing football when he stood by it the liquor mounted sensibly and imme- diately sunk upon his mentioning half- years' exams. In short, he told us that he knew very well by this invention when- ever he had a man of sense or an athlete in the room. Helen Van Arsdale, '12, ' dl - o L' VN? ,js o,s 'Q O Oo: I - l ,Q 4 .

FACULTY GAME The members of the Faculty team were very confident that they could beat the Secretaries of the Y. M. C. A., so they challenged them to play a game of basket- ball on a Friday night as a preliminary to the regular R. H. S. game. Consequently, on the appointed night they met to see which of the teams was the better. The game started, and, as a means of encour- aging their Faculty team along. the stu- dents gave a number of yells. The Y. M. C. A. team had an advantage over the Faculty team, as they had two men on their team who are athletic directors and good players. The best man on the Fac- ulty team was Mr. Brooks, and he played a splendid game, making most of the bas- kets for his side. The rest of the Faculty team played a fairly good game. but they could not keep up with their opponents. Mr. Rees did good work at guard, had it not been for him the score would have been considerably different. At the end of the game the score showed that the Y. M. C. A. officials were a little ahead. tThe score is discreetly withheld at the request of the Faculty.D -Ansgar Hansen, i12. THE BASKETBALL SEASON Soon after the close of the football sea- son, basketball practice was started. With seven members of last year's squad back, five of whom had won an R,,' a good team was expected. F. Jones was elected captain. After three weeks of practice we played Waukegan High School at Waukegan. Our lack of team work ac- counted for our score, 31-15. Charmock, Rowlands, and Wright were responsible for most of R.acine's score. On the twelfth of January we played Waukegan a return game at Racine. The game was fast and exciting. The teams were evenly matched and both used splen- did team work. The score was a tie at the end of the first half, 16-16. Both sides tried hard to win.but when time was called the score was 31-31. After tive minutes of over-time playing the referee decided to call the game a tie. Charmock led with the basket-shooting, while Wriglit played a good game at guard. January sixth Racine played Stough- ton High at Racine. Stoughton was con- sidered a strong team on account of her victories earlier in the season. Racine displayed remarkable team work and ac- curate basket shooting. VVhen the game was called the score was 54 to 13 in Ra- cinc's favor. In a preliminary game the Faculty were defeated by the Y. M. C. A. officials team, 22 to 14. Prof. Brooks, our Principal, scored all the points for the Faculty. February ninth we played Kenosha at Kenosha. Racine played a ragged game in the first half. When the half ended the score was 20 to 13 in favor of Kenosha. In the second half Racine put in other players. Kenosha was held down to two baskets in this half, while Racine scored tive. When time was called the score was 24-23 in favor of Kenosha. On February twenty-third Lake Geneva High was our opponent. Both sides played a good game. The game was frst and exciting. Most of the playing was around Charmock of Racine and Semictht of Lake Geneva. When time was called the score was 37-22 in favor of Lake Gen- eva. Our next game was with Wauwatosa High at Wauwatosa. In past years Ra- cine has lost every game against this team, but this year they were determined to de- feat them. After the first few minutes of play Racine easily outclassed their op- ponents, and the first half ended with the score 20 to 7 in Racine's favor. In the second half Wauwatosa put up a better game and played Racine even. The game ended with the score 32-18 in our favor. All the Racine players played a good game. Our Racine team received a notice from Lawrence College that it was a candidate for the State Tournament, and it would have to play Kenosha an elimination 18 F game. At this time it was learned that certain players had broken local school rules, and were put off the team. After this cut was made, only one regular was left, but Mr. Reese would not forfeit the game to Kenosha. After considerable work on the part of Mr. Rees a team was formed. The game was played on the Waukegan Iligh School floor. In the first half Kenosha easily outplayed Racine and scored 16 to our 5 points, but in the sec- ond half the fellows played together and played even with Kenosha. The time was called with the score 31-21 in favor of Kenosha. During the first week of April the players who were put off the team were allowed to play. A game was arranged with Kenosha High to be played at Ra- cine. A large crowd attended this game, because Kenosha was considered a strong team. The game was fast, and good team work was used by both teams. The half ended with the score 18 to 10 against Ra- cine. The Racine team went into the sec- ond half with the same spirit which was shown in their football games. Charmock made three successive baskets and tied the score. From then on the game was nip and tuck, first Racine ahead, then Keno- sha. Finally, when the whistle blew, the score was 30-28 in favor of Racine. This game closed the season for Racine. The season was not very successful, the canceling of games largely accounting for this. We had five teams cancel games. The players who represented Racine were Captain Jones, Charmock, Johnson, Zahn, O'Donnell, forwards, Rowlands, Howe, centers, Wright, Melvin, A. Town- send, G. Townsend, Henken, Frank, guards. -Frank O'Donnell, '12, THE sEiAsoNis-sedans - BASKET- BALL Racine, 16, Waukegan, 31 Racine, 31, Waukegan, 31 Racine, 5-1, Stoughton, 13 Racine, 23, Kenosha, 2-1 Racine, 37, Lake Geneva, 22 Racine, 32' Wauwatosa 18 7 7 Racine, 21, Kenosha, 31 Racine, 30, Kenosha. 28 -John Belden.

Many of our athletes were ineligible be- cause of smoking, delinquents, etc., and so we were represented by but seven men, Summers, O'Donnell, G. Townsend, R. Pottinger, R. Mitchell, J. Belden, and A. Harnett. Although greatly outnumbered, We Won twenty-seven points, taking sec- ond place in the meet. Madison, with thirty-five men, was first with seventy-two points. O'Donnell had little trouble in X -1 ' .X V 7i'2+h.vTr.n In SDN taking first in the mile, two-mile, and half- mileg his fifteen points gave him individ- ual honors, and he received two cups and a large Carroll banner. Pottinger was first in the pole-vault and third in the broad jump, R. Mitchell took third in the pole-vault, and J. Belden was fourth in the high jump. Summers took fourth in the hundred and two-twenty, Although we did not win first place in the meet, our fellows made an excellent showing, and deserve great credit for their fine work. Chas. F.

This year, however, the girls have had a soci- ety entirely independent of the boys. A few girls interested in public speak- ing began work, and soon, from this small class in reading the interest spread until it was necessary to organize a society, and the club now numbers more than fifty girls from the High School. The first business meeting of the Casta- lian Club was called to order on October tenth. They chose the name 'AC-astalian because, just as the original Castalia was a fountain in Greece which gave knowledge to all who drank of it, so this club's purpose should be to increase the literary knowledge of its members. They meet every week, and the programs con- sist of debates, music, recitations, light plays, declamations, and readings. On November fourteenth the program consisted of a debate: Resolved, That the betterment of mankind and the progress of the race demand that suffrage be grant- ed to women. The speakers on the nega- tive were Helen Van Arsdale and Anna Davies, on the affirmative, Esther Haub and Ruth Semmes. The decision was ren- dered by the judges in favor of the nega- tive, three to two. On December nineteenth another de- bate was given: Resolved, That senators should be elected by popular vote. Those on the affirmative were Emily Donaldson and Sarah Davidson, on the negative, Mary Albino .and Ruth Harvey. The de- cision was in favor of the aifirmative, two to one. On Washington's Birthday a joint pro- gram was given by the Boys' Literary and Castalian Clubs. 'The program consisted of the Irish play, Spreading the News. at The Cast: Bartley Fallon .............

An air of mystery seemed to surround the notice: nobody knew what it was about or who was at,the head of it, and, as a re- sult, a number of curious students ap- peared at the designated room in breath- less anticipation. As soon as the purpose of the meeting was explained the club was organized. For a short time little was heard of the club. An occasional notice that a meet- ing was to be held was seen on the bul- letin board. Then a notice that the Ra- cine High School Camera Club was going to give an exhibit was posted. The exhibit took place November the twenty-ninth, the last day of school before the 'l'hanksgiving vacation. From the moment the exhibition was opened to the school until it was closed, the room was the most popular one in the school, being constantly filled with admiring students and members of the faculty, alumni and other visitors. A number of the outside amateur and professional photographers had contributed pictures, and the affair proved to be a great success. --Jacob Weinberg, '12. The first outing of the Camera Club was made on the first Saturday of February. The snow was fine, and the whole party met at the High School and rode in a sleigh to a camp near the Rapids. The members had their cameras along, and pictures were taken on the way. On the arrival at the camp, fires had to be start- ed in both parlor and kitchen stoves. Soon all frozen toes and fingers were thawed out and the party was ready for anything. Many poses were taken. Miss Porter ran off all by herself for about half an hour trying to get a picture of a rabbit in fiight, but was finally satis- fied in getting some fine pictures of the shadows of the trees on the snow. As daylight vanished a sumptuous meal was prepared by the girls-a most glo- rious spread-composed chiefly of those favorite dishes of camp-life, beans and Hdogsf, After the last sandwich had been eaten, speeches were made and many patriotic as well as popular songs were sung till. Several stories were told on the spur of the moment. Jacob Weinberg composed one of fifteen minutes' dura- tion. When he had finished, our toast- master remarked that we might now have a few short stories, but no more serials, which opinion was reinforced by a unani- mous snore from that corner in which Barr and Kannenberg had enjoyed the tale. The dishes being washed and cleared away, the carpet and furniture was re- moved, then all prepared for a few old- fashioned dances. Owing to a lack of musical instruments, the boys whistled till longer, and the girls sang till their singers their whistlers wouldn't whistle any refused to sing, while our chaperon, at the end of the lines, called tl1e figures and couples and beat time with hand and foot. The Virginia Reel Hlld the Miller were the favorite dances. .Many games were also indulged in, one of the best be- ing a game of Mental Telepathy which refused to work, owing to a short circuit in one of the links composing the circle. About ten o'clock the sleigh returned for us. Piling in, we reached town in a short time. Since the first trip we have take11 o11e other to the Rapids, very similar to the first. Our third jaunt consisted of a walking trip to the Wind Point along the lake shore. Our fourth and last, up to date, was an over-night camping party at the Rapids, April 26th and 27th. Our al- loted space would not permit the author to do justice to this outing. -- These trips were enjoyed to the full by all. We are learning what Bryant meant when he wrote: A To him who in the love of Nature Holds communion with her visible forms She speaks a various language. -Hardy Steeholm, '13. - 2f KW I KAW!

Where are the boys? questions the president emeritus. Heah, heah, answers Jacob VVein- berg, with an expansive smile. I thought this was a Camera Club meeting and not a discussion of styles. Conversation, which had ceased abrupt- ly, is again resumed as one or two of the faculty members and a number of the boys casually saunter into the room. Mur- murs of Isn't he cute? I've got a crush on him, emanate from the feminine contingent of the assembled. L-let me see-, says the president emeritus, meditatively, looking around the room, Hamer isnit here, who is- who is vice-president? O Regina, you will preside? After a short interlude of persuasion, the vice-president is forcibly thrust into the chair. She raps on the desk. Meeting will please come to order. She raps again, but still with no effect. The meeting will p-l-e-a-s-e come to order. Gradually the argument about the last basketball game dies away, and the members drop reluctantly into their chairs. The secretary, says the vice-presi- dent, with the determination of despair, will please call the rollf' After a few moments of delay, the sec- retary produces a tattered scrap of paper and the meeting is seemingly begun in earnest. Michael Costellof, calls the secretary. There is no answer, but the door opens and Howard Hamer sidles into the room, glances uncertainly at the chairman, and explains to the club in general, 'tEr-a sorry, I've got a date, and withdraws. There is a suppressed giggle, and the meeting proceeds. Another slight delay ensues, however, when the secretary, aft- 1- .I 5 er vainly shaking her Cicero, fails to discover the minutes of the preceding meeting. The business before the club is to con- sider thc proposed outing. Is there any discussion ? HMadau1 Chairman!

Miss Chairmanll' Regardless of the fact that Jacob Weinberg still has the floor, Charles Kannenberg eagerly pro- ceeds to air his views before the club. HI suggest that the girls bring the 'feed' and welll stand for the 'hearsef Conscious of having done his duty, he sits down, complacently awaiting the unanimous approval of the club. To his intense disgust he is rewarded by a frigid stare from the vice-president and -a polite- ly emphatic Mr. Weinberg still has the floor, Mr. Kannenbergf' A-a-ah, Mr. Weinberg, accept my most humble, profuse and heartfelt apologies. CAside, Nit ! D QAside to Barr, Would- n't take that old floor if you gave it to me. D HThank you, Mistah Kannenberg, thank yuh, returns Mr. Weinberg, a11d after two ceremonious bows the young Chesterfields reseat themselves. The club has been so taken up with this exchange of delicate courtesies that the subject previously under discussion is forgotten. Waiting a moment for the clamor to subside, the vice-president arises and, from force of habit, raps for order. Will someone please put Mr. Wein- L?1'1Er1S1i'-'fX ?,.:zK1PtLK4wx2 berg's suggestion in the form of a n1o- tion?

HYes, indeed, girls-w-we must have plenty of sandwiches-you know how boysziresand being out in the air. Girls, do you suppose eighteen dozen are enough if we have about three gallons of beans with them? The seeret:u'y. who is apparently labor- ing under the impression that she is to ezlt the entire eighteen dozen, shows signs of an zipproaehing demise.

A stormy diseussion follows, in which si eompromise of twelve doze11 is ettecfted.

All his life he was a lover of nature, a student and artist of bird life. He became famous through the publication of a series of 1,065 colored pictures of American birds. Many parks in the country are dedicated to him, and a great society, named the Audubon So- cictyf' has been formed for the protec- tion of the birds. This society has members all over the world, It has achieved much, having se- cured many laws against the destruction of birds in both Nation and State. It is estimated that one hundred and seventy million of our birds are killed yearly to decorate women's hats, and many are de- stroyed by thoughtless boys. It is certain that if women would stop and think of what cruelty they indirectly cause they would never wear feathers in their hats. Many birds are deprived of only a por- tion of their plumage, and are then left horribly 'mutilated to die ia slow and agonizing death. They are killed in all seasons of the year, and their young are left- to die of starvation. Outside of'this cruel feature of the slaughtering of our birds there is an eco- nomical phase. It is estimated that one- tenth of all the cultivatedcrops of the United States are destroyed annually by insects, causing a damage of about four hundredmillion dollars every year. This would not happen if our birds were per- mitted to live, for they exist mostly on these insects. The Audubon Society was organized in Wisconsili in 1897 and in Racine High School in 1898. This year it has been re- organized 'and over a hundred have al- ready taken the following pledge: 'tl promise not to kill any birds, except game birds, not to rob their nests, nor to wear feathers except those of domesticat- ed fowl and of the ostrich, Cno wingsif' It is our purpose to include the greater part of the school in this great movement. The members will have little hikes and outings into the country and woods wg!! 5 ey 'about the city to observe and study na- ture at close hand. Open programs bear- ing on subjects connected with these ob- servations and studies will be held, and all through the year a calendar of birds seen by members, especially the birds first seen in spring, will be kept. -Hardy Steeholm, '13, THE SCARLET TANAGECR. On one of my long walks through a thick wood last June I heard a strange call of a bird. I listened for several mo- ments, and, my curiosity getting the bet- ter of me, I decided to find out what and where it was. I had never been especial- ly interested in birds before, but this pe- culiar song was different from any I had ever heard. I crept along quietly among the bushes. On a low branch of an oak tree, I saw a bird of rich scarlet with black tail and wings. I concluded, at once, that it was a scarlet tanager, and having heard that it was an uncommon bird, I was more interested than ever. Near where it had sat was a rather flat and ragged nest made of sticks and twigs. On creeping nearer the nest, I discovered four small eggs of a dull, green color, thickly spotted with brown. Unfortunately, just then I rustled a bush, and the frightened bird flew away. Later I saw the mother bird-a plain, greenish colored little body-not nearly so charming in appearance as her hus- band. -Marie Menger, '13, THE SNAKE AND THE FROG One day last vacation, while visiting some friends at a summer resort, we took a walk through the neighboring woods. We were walking along quietly, observ- ing the beautiful birds and trees, when suddenly we saw before us a striped grass snake about two and a half feet long. In a position to spring upon a large frog, which he had hynotized, he was just in the act of dislocating his jaws in order to swallow the frog whole. Approaching his victim from the rear, he first took the frog's hind legs in his mouth and then Nil.? f'!f'l!Zv skill. crept slowly forward, devouring the un- conscious creature as he did so. When the snake had finished his meal, he had eaten so much that it was almost impossible for him to move. - At this moment my friend picked up a stick and killed the snake. Then with a pocket-knife he carefully cut open the serpent's back. Upon laying open the skin, we found the frog stretched out full length. Taking the victim out and running to the lake nearby, I washed him off and laid him in the water. Soon he began to re- vive, and in a short time I saw him hop- ping off to tell his friends in Frog Town Where he had been. -Harry Baernstein, '15. ON BIRDS CTaken from Anne Graham's Diary.D There are lots of kinds of birds. Some are one color and some are another. Some can sing and some can't. Parrots can't. My Aunt Miranda has a parrot. It is mostly green-and yet it is Wise, for it can talk. QNot that everything that talks is wise, you know, for I can talk and I am told that I am a goose.D By the way, geese are birds. People call them poul- try. But I know they are birds. I know because they have wings. Geese always have wings. Therefore I, being a goose, have wings, which means I am an angel or mightly like one. Oh, yes! there are robins. I can usually tell whether it is a robin or a sparrow when I see a bird, but not always, because there are lots of other kinds. Chickens also are birds. Say, did you ever see roosters fight? They just make me shudder, they are so vicious. It makes me think of a football game-they don't care at all if they hurt each other, roosters don 't. I don't see how they can, do you. There are animals which have wings and aren't birds-mosquitoes, for in- stance. I never did care about mosqui- toes. I feel about them the same as I do about tan shoes. I like to see them on other people all right, but I.don't seem to care about having them on myself. Did you ever see a raven? I've heard about them. They are black Hlld they say 4'Nevermore. My brother saw one once. Say, hels going to get married. I've been giving him a few pointers, you know. The other day he said his knife was dull. Jim. said I, severely, Never say 'the knife is dull', say 'the meat is toughf He used to be the limit. He had about six girls' pictures in his watch. Once just for a joke I changed them. He went to see one girl with the picture of another in his watch. It was a girl she just hated. I don't know what happened. I know that he hasn't seen much of her since. Once I went to a museum and saw an ostrich. Ostriches are birds. They are very large. Sometimes men ride horse- back on them. I know because once I Went to a moving picture show and there was a picture of an ostrich. A man was riding horseback on it. Oh, here comes Belinda. She said she wanted me to join the Audubon Society. All you have to do is to promise not to wear feathers on your hats. Me for dyed-turkey feathers hereafter-oh, dear, they look so horrid when they are rained on. Belinda is going to show me a place where we can see some scarlet tanagers. I wonder what they are-but I'm going to make believe I know all about them or she'll think she's too smart. Believe me, I'm going to buy a bird book and I won't say much this afternoon, then I'll read it. Next time I'll put one over her-what joy! --Ruth Harvey, '13. THE WHITE-TAIL DEER The white-tail deer is now, as it always has been, the most plentiful and most widely distributed of all the American big game. The ,range of the white-tail is from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Canadian to the Mexican borders, and somewhat to the north and south of these limits. But the deer of which I am about to describe the habits live in the extreme me-are fn' we 2 We Wfffglvm' e waag M as ziilifiiiiliz ,Q Us 4.f1 . . ...,..ams-was .awff--.www ':'.sr'wmvwmf.mee-.eeecfm , -'X ,. .2-:ff-1 V .

V Of all the animals of our forests, the White-tail deer is, beyond all doubt, the most beautiful and graceful, both when in motion and when standing. The large bucks, probably four or five years old, have a huge set of antlers to grace their handsome heads, while their legs are long and slender and built for speed. Their bodies are rather large but beautifully rounded, and in the summer are covered with a light coat of red. As winter comes on, these coats of red turn to a steel gray color and are commonly known as the '.',blue coats. ' The buckls mate, called the doe, is not so large an animal as he is, but is much prettier in many ways. Her f-Qhead, which has no horns, is considerably smaller than the buck's, but the rest of her body is nearly the same. The doe's tail is a little longer and more bushy than the buck's, but both tails are pure white. When running, this tail, or flag, as hunt- fers call it, is always up, but the minute the animal is hit by a bullet the flag goes down, showing the hunter that the bullet has found its mark. It is worth while to mention the little fawn before going further with the ac- count. This little creature is usually born in the early spring and is about the most awkward thing that ever walked on four legs. , Its coat, which is red, is covered withglittfeiwhite'spotsg and the legs are stiff, as if there were no middle joints in them. The doe is as an affectionate mother as one could ever see anywhere. She watches over the baby day and night until he is old enough to run away from any enemies that might be near. When the little one is old enough for this, the mother takes him to the nearest lake or river and teaches him how to swim. He is very awkward at first and a little frightened, but he soon gets his nerve and learns quickly. After this, the doe just keeps track of her fawn while the rest of his habits develop and come to him naturally. The way these animals feed is very in- teresting. When the moon is full they feed chiefly by night and lie in the thick brush during the day. When there is lit- tle or no moon, they feed early in the morning, and walk leisurely about the woods until noon, when they feed and drink once more. They then take another little walk until dark, when they eat again. After this last meal they go in the brush or swamps until morning. Dur- ing the winter a large group of deer get together and make what is called a yard. These yards are usually found in a hard- wood growth where there is enough food to last them through the winter. Some- times the snow becomes so deep that the animals are unable to move out of their yard and are attacked by the hungry wolves. In this case the bucks form a circle about the does and do their best to keep the wolves off. The white-tail deer is, I think, the fleet- est animal on four legs in our forests to- day. A log' which might be lying across a trail and five or six feet from the ground is no obstacle whatever to them, theyjjump over it with ease and land very lightly and gracefully on the other side. About the only fear these beautiful ani- mals have is the pursuit by wolves and hounds. When this occurs death is -al- most certain to the deer because he be- comes fatigued from fright and is slowly overtaken by the animal chasing him. -John Belden, '13. an t - ... me nm ,,-L K S.. tiff?

The subject for the debate was the question of Wonian Suffrage. Our school accepted the offer and imme- diately went to work with zest. All of the students interested appeared at the preliminaries, which were held in Decem- ber. At this time the two teams, the af- firmative and negative, together with an alternate to represent either side in case of a vacancy, were chosen. The two teams were: the affirmative, Anna Davies, Michael Costello and Charles Kannen- bergg the negative, Guilbert Barr, Leon- ard Baumblatt and Stanley Belden, and the alternate, Hardy Steeholm. For the next few weeks these students worked hard preparing for the debate with Ke- nosha. On January nineteenth the debate took place. The affirmative team debated at Racine and the negative team went to Kenosha to give forth their stored-up knowledge on the question as to whether it was expedient to grant women the right to the ballot. The team felt confident from the time they stepped on the car in Racine until the ballots were taken that they had won. The orators of both sides delivered their well-prepared versions of the topic with the easiness of skilled de- baters. When the affirmative had at last closed the debate both teams awaited the decisions of the judges. Our representa- tives were very much surprised when the chairman announced that three votes were in favor of the affirmative. Fate had been against us. Our team took their defeat with the spirit of true sportsmen. In Racine the debaters were more for- tunate. Previous to the program our rooters gave the school yells, and sang some of the songs which had been pre- pared especially for the occasion. When the debate opened, the members of the teams spoke fluently and well. After the debate had been closed by our affimative EW leader, Michael Costello, the audience im- patiently awaited the results of the judges' ballots. The vote was two to one in favor of Racine, making the final de- cision stand four to two in favor of Ke- nosha. Although Racine was defeated by Ke- nosha and unable to continue any longer in the contest, the debate was beneficial to the debaters and the students as well. Much credit is due the Faculty members who so faithfully helped to make the de- bate possible. It is sincerely hoped that our debating team of 1913 may be able to win the inter-state championship. -Stanley Belden, '12.

On April 19 the boys held an oratorical contest in the Lower Assembly. Three places were to be awarded, the Winners of first and second places to go to the State oratorical contest at Sheboygan, and the winner of the third place to go to Beloit. A large audience attended. The boys were all well prepared, and showed splen- did trainingr. According' to present indi- cations, Racine High will contribute its share to the c0untry's orators. The boys afterward agreed that though they could not all secure places, they had gained enough in the practice to reward them for their efforts. Fred Bickel won first place, and there was no doubt in the minds of either of the audience or the judges but that he de- served the place. His presentation of the famous oration 'tSpartacus to the Glad- iators could not easily be excelled. John Evans secured second place thru his clear enunciation and correct empha- llis selection was HThe Indian Chief- tain. Leonard Raumblatt was given third place. Ile gave a line interpretation of Blaine 's 'tEulogg'y o11 tiartieldf, lt was a very ditticult oration. The following are the contestants and their subjects: Eulogy on VVendell Phillips -Burt Olson. 'tThe Indian Chieftain -John Evans. The New South -Valentine Ditt- mann. HThe Gettysburg Address -Frederick llelni. '4Spartacus to the Gladiators - Fred Bickel.

In the first con- test each pupil in the school was allowed to contribute a story. These were looked over by a committee of teachers. The eight best stories. two from each class in High School, were chosen. These were given to Mrs. Schnetz, Reverend Chenoweth, and Professor Henderson of Racine College, who acted as judges of thought and com- position. The contestants were trained by their English teachers on delivery. The contest was held the day of our Christ- mas exercises. The judges of delivery were Mrs. Leek, Reverend Buxton, and Mr. Richard Harvey. The medal, given by Mr. Brooks, was awarded to Emily Donaldson. It is to be sincerely hoped that the interest in public speaking will be kept alive for many years to come. The school has surely appreciated Mr. Brooks' effort to introduce this line of work, and all who have taken part in the contest have been greatly benefited. The contestants were: 'tThe Van VVoosters' Christmas - Elsie Pust, '15, An Old-Fashioned Christmas Dinner -Josephine Peterson, '15, Jimmy's Christmas Fairy - Lucille Clemons, '14. Katherine's Awakeningl' - Sylvia Musa, 14. . Minnehaha's First Christmas - Em- ily Donaldson. '13. A Convert to Santa Claus -Esther Wood, '13. The True Christmas Spirit - Helen Van Arsdale, '12.

MINNEHAI-IA 'S FIRST CHRISTMAS The setting sun had just disappeared below the horizon, but its crimson trail, like that of a mighty chieftain, lingered yet in the western sky. It was a winter sunset, cold and orange-red, but with a beauty all its own. At the west the wa- ters of the Great Lake caught up the re- tlection of the clouds and lighted up with a chill, lonely splendor, dark pine trees rose in queenly array at the northg snow- clad fields stretched away toward the south, wlhile ,at the east, a picturesque and beautiful sight with their painted decora- tions and the blue smoke rising from their tops, stood the wigwams of an Indian vil- lage. At the entrance of the most western dwelling, her dark, comely features il- lumined by the glow of the western sky, stood an Indian maiden. But she saw not the beauty of the winter landscape, her As she gaze was bent on the ground. stood there, motionless, a clue to her ab- straction framed itself on her lips. Scarce- ly audibly she spoke, and as though weighing every word. The wild passion of her race was melted into a low, tender whisper as she said: .- And tonight is His birthday. I An instant later. from within the wig- wam, issued a low, musical call, 'tMinne- hahall' Yes, grandmother. The maiden answered in the language of the Mackinacs, and addressed an old woman who was seated by the fire which she replenished with a handful of fagots as Minnehaha entered. You are troubled today, my Minne- hahaf' The tenderness in the woman's voice indicated the strong affection and deep sympathy between the two. '4Yes, Noko, I 2111 troubled. Perhaps you can help me.'l The young girl seated herself on the deerskin robe beside her companion, and amidst the weird shadows cast by the -cdo- . . H8312 .,.-- -15.

I ought to be glad, I ought to exult in their punishment. But my heart is sad. True, they killed my father in the battle, they stole his dead body before our men could return and bear it away. But tonight is the birth- day of the White Christ. From the Black Robed Chief you have heard the story of His birth, His life, His crucifixion, and His forgiveness. All day a voice in my heart has been saying, 'Peace on earth, good-will to men.' I, the daughter of a chief of the Mackinacs, can save the Pale- faces if I will. The White Christ would do so. What shall I do? The intense silence which ensued was broken by the crackling of the burning branches. Then the voice of old Noko rang out proudly: My Minnehaha, your father knew no word forgive. Nay, Wa- basso's cry was 1Revenge, forever re- vengel' though he died in the act of avenging-and are you not your father's daughter? The White Christians are pushing far- ther and farther west. They are seizing the lands and the streams that Gitchie Manito gave his red children to hunt and fish in. They bring war and bloodshed to our hitherto peaceful homes, and sor- row and suffering to our happy hearts. They have killed your father, a mighty chieftain. Yet what is death to a brave warrior but an entrance to the Happy Hunting Grounds! And the White Chris- tians have taken that chance from Wa- basso, they have stolen his dead body. No weapons could be buried with him, that he might defend himself on his jour- ney to the Promised Land. No prayers can be offered to the Great Spiritover his grave, no sacrifices laid at his resting- place, no chance is given to intercede for him. . 'fBut, and the tone of old Noko changed to one of triumph and of rap- turous faith, we have a promisefrom the Deliverer of the Nations-from Hia- . .. - ...af watha. As he was lifted into the sky, the promise to return to us fell from his lips. He will avenge our wrongs. He is even now gathering his army from among the warriors of the Upper World, they hold themselves in readiness for the word of command to march upon the Palefaces, and we will once more occupy the land of our fathers in affluence and powerf' She was silent for a moment, and then added: You must decide for yourself whether to serve the white man's God or the Great Spirit of your fathers. Minnehaha rose. Wrapping her shawl about her, without a word to Noko, lest she should be dissuaded from her pur- pose, she left the Wigwam. In the deepening twilight the great cluster of Indian dwellings showed a ghostly white against the darkening blue of the eastern sky. In those wigwams which were not deserted, the bright fire inside revealed the fantastic decorations upon the canvas, and the moving shadows of those within. The muffled beat of drums, intermingled with savage yells, were wafted to Minnehaha's ear. She knew that no time was to be lost, and ran lightly down the snowy path to the scene of commotion. At the edge of the circle stood the war- riors of the tribe, some carrying torches. Their faces were rendered more hideous and unearthly in the dim light by fresh war paint. In the inner circle stood a band of half a dozen white men, bound hand and foot, one or two with heads erect, but the rest a picture of the most hopeless, abject misery. Piles of pine- tree boughs were being lighted by the squaws. At one side, ifpon a raised plat- form of logs overlooking the entire scene, sat an aged chieftain. Minnehaha comprehended the whole situation in an instant. She sprang upon the platform beside the old chief, the next moment the attention of every man, woman and child in that assembly was 'riveted on the girl. My people, she was saying, I have a command from the Great Spirit to stop you. Ile bids me tell you that the lVhite children are llis children as well as are the lied, and that Ile cares alike for both. Ile says that you must release the pris- oners and dwell together in peace. And what the Great Spirit commands, we must not disobey. Vllhen she had ceased, every person was silent-awe-stricken, though a god had come among them. Then the aged chief rose and addressed his people: UThe daughter is right. VVhat the Great Spirit commands, we must not disobey. Ile quickly called his council of chiefs together in a. nearby lodge, unbinding the feet of the prisoners and leading them along, that no harm might befall them if the crowd suddenly became angry. Min- nehaha remained in the Same position she had assumed while speaking. A few quiet words were exchanged between the Indians reniaining, but a great hush pre- vailed. Wheii the lodge entrance opened and the chiefs tiled out, with them came the white men, unbound. Then the figure of the young girl disappeared in the dark- ness. The moon had risen in the heavens when Minnehaha reached her home, and she lingered outside the wigwam to breathe in the deep peace of the night. She felt that she had done right and what the Christ would have done. She knew now what those words meant- Peace on earth, good-will to men. He was born on a night like this, calm and cloudless, when the Divinity seems to bend and l lt: W touch the earth, waiting in silent expecta tion. She could almost see the light m the sky as it must have shone then. bln could ahnost hear the angels sing, Glow to God in the highest- A step soundid at her side. She looked around. There could be no mistaking the form and fra tures in the bright moonlight. It was lui father. I have come to spend Christmas with vou. It was the voice of no apparition. Hut to spend Christmas with her-what did it mean? As though i11 answer to he! thought, he continued. 'tVVhen I lay un conscious after the light, the Black R-obt chiefs found me. They took me ,to their lodge, they fed me with tl1e best from their table, they healed my wounds Again they told me the story of the White Christ, in whose name they re stored me to life. I, who had scotted and mocked before, 11ow listened and believed. And you, too, my daughter, yy 1ll believe ? ' l 'AI do believe, she cried rapturously and she poured out the story of her day s struggle, of the VVhite Christ's victory 111 her heart, and of rescuing her father s enemies from torture and death. Tlun, feaing lest he might still cherish revengl toward those who had injured him, she asked half doubtfully You are not an 7 gry with me, father?

To take your books the night before, And cram in all forgotten lore, That 's Preparation! To take your books and walk to school, Carrying, too, your ink and rule, That 's Transportation. Then trembling from head to toe, Breath quick to come and quick to go, That 's Palpitation. The questions, which are short and sharp, Lead you to think of a good high mark, That 's Expectation. To heave a sigh when you are through, And throw aside your pencil, too, That's Emancipation. But then to iind that you have flunked, That 's-Blunderation. -Exchange, ' ' The Manitou.

For the wind was blowing fiercely And the snow kept coming down, Since the year of '87 ' Not a worse had swept the town. Many were the twelve-foot snowdrifts We encountered on the way, But we went through just like snow- plowsg We were mighty brave that day. Many were the little Freshmen That were lost in banks of snow, But the green stains left behind them Showed where we should digging go. When at last we reached the High School We were shocked, I do declare, For besides some forty pupils The whole Faculty was there. We did wondrous work that morning, Such was never seen before, The work of seven periods We did instead of four. And the Board was so delighted That to show it was not slow, We were sent home at tWelve-thirty- And you ought to've seen us go. -A. Hammerson, '13. MARCH March comes blustering in and tries to outdo his brother February in his wild ways. He howls, and shrieks, and blows, and sends everyone scurrying for shelter. He is the boldest and most fickle child of Mother Year, and his naughty pranks greatly distress his mother. He loves to flirt with gentle West Wind, and he en- tices the frail plants into putting forth their tender green shoots. West Wind's gentle breath soothes and caresses them, and March wickedly puts forth his icy fingers to pluck them. The frail blos- soms cringe beneath his cruel clutch, and the mischief-maker skips away in glee. So Mother Year sends her winsome daughter April to nurse the sufferers back to health. March is called home, and he smilingly greets his fair sister, but in his heart he solemnly vows Ven- geance, and at times he has succeeded in getting Winter to help him in playing tricks On April. -Hildegarde Schacht, '13.

Wisconsin is one of the greatest mound districts in America, and Racine county is fortunate in having a large number of these antiquities. A detailed study re- garding every particular of the same was made and recorded by Drs. Hoy and Lap- ham. The theory which had been supported for the last century, namely, that the mounds were built by another and more singular race of men than the Indians found in Wisconsin when Hennepin first arrived, has very little justification by the leading archaeologists of today. The theory adhered to at the present time is that they were built by the ancestors of the modern Indians, and that as the white men appeared and forced them to discon- tinue many of their mystic rites and cere- monies, the manufacture of Wampum, flint and copper implements, so he also forced them to abolish their custom of mound- building. Although late investigations have been made, nothing as yet has re- vealed anything strange in the habits or characteristics of these Indians. It has been concluded, however, that Wisconsin had two or three generations of these tribes, who have left in the southern and eastern portions of the State many coni- cal, -eifigy, and elongated mounds. Wis- consin is famous for its effigy mounds, which are limited to this district, with the exception of three in Ohio and two in Georgia. We can, indeed, be proud of the antiquities left by the Indians in our State and city. One of the groups in this city was situ- ated upon an area of high ground, border- ing on Root River, about one to two miles west of the margin of the lake. This group consisted mostly of circular burial mounds of no great size or height. This cluster was carefully surveyed in an ef- fort to find some system of arrangement. None could be discovered, and it has been decided that the Indians merely selected a suitable spot and there deposited the re- mains of their deceased relatives and friends. One of these was opened by Dr. Hoy, who found several persons buried in a sitting posture, all facing the east. An- other of the same group contained a con- fused mass of bones of at least three per- sons. There were several other groups in our city, namely, the Erskine, Hoy, Bluif, Slauson, and Mound Cemetery groups. The twelve mounds in the cemetery group are now being preserved with great care. None of these, however. have been opened. During the earlier history of our city there were about one hundred twenty-eight mounds in this vicinity. The Hoy group, situated on the north' bank of Root River, contained a lizard 111ound eighty feet long, being one of the few ef- figy mounds near this city. Parts of this have been destroyed by cultivation of land. Many of the above-mentioned clus- ters have been opened, the majority of which contained several bodies, proving that the mounds in the vicinity of Racine were used for cemetery purposes. From a collection of the results from the various excavations of these earth- works it has been found that the average size is from twenty to thirty feet in diam- eter, from two and one half to four and one half feet in height, and the burial pit, about ten to fourteen inches below the surface of the surrounding ground. The bodies were regularly buried in a sitting or partly kneeling posture, facing the east. The pit was then covered with a log roofing over which the mound was constructed from earth. Sometimes bod- ies were found near the surface, but these were subsequent burials made by the modern Indians. A very few of the mounds contained rude pottery. Nature has made it possible to obtain some estimate of the age of the mounds in Racine. Upon one there was found a burr oak containing two hundred and fifty rings, upon another, a stump of an oak containing three hundred and ten ef-mee- rings, and upon still another, a tree, five feet in diameter. From these evi- dences, archaeologists conclude that the mounds in Racine were built at least one thousand years ago. The mounds are now almost entirely ob- literated by cultivation or city improve- ments, with the exception of the twelve conical ones in the Mound Cemetery group. The former sites of the Bluff, Hoy and the sections of the Mound Cemetery group lying west and south of the pres- ent burial ground are now occupied by streets and city residences. The Teegar- den group, situated at the eastern end of Mound Cemetery, which contained one of the most interesting effigy earthworks in southern Wisconsin, has been destroyed by the taking away of soil, and has now become the dumping ground for refuse from the cemetery. Outside of this city, in Racine county, there are many other mounds of just as great importance. In the township of Raymond there is the West group, in Burlington the Fox River group, in Nor- way the Bensene and Larson groups. The Larson group is of much interest, as its construction differs from the mounds in Racine. In October, 1912, after this earth- work had been under cultivation for twenty years, Mr. Larson opened it. There were twenty-one skeletons, the bones of which crumbled when touched. The bottom was fourteen inches below the surrounding surface, on a blue subsoil. The mound itself was fourteen feet long and twelve feet wide. The skeletons were laid in double rows with their heads toward the east. These skeletons were then covered With about eight inches of rather hard clay or cement, above which was placed eight inches of almost pure ashes and charcoal, then the mound was completed with a composition of charcoal ashes and black loam. This is the only mound in Racine county of this kind. Mr. Larson has replaced the contents of it as accurately as possible. Some of the mounds contained rude pottery, copper implements and orna- ments, which have been collected and may now be viewed at the State Historical So- ciety at Madison, Milwaukee Public Mu- seum and U. S. National Museum at Wash- ington, D. C. Thcse, together with the mounds that have escaped injury, are now carefully kept as monuments or relics of the H Mound-builders. ' ' -Ida Frederickson, '12. Contributed by History Department. NATURE Nature had waked up cross! While everyone was still asleep, she tossed, and fumed, and stormed around house corners, and then, because no one paid her any at- tention, she did something worse-she cried. All day long she cried and cried and let the big tears, better known as rain, drop to the sulky earth. And then, just because she was cross and ill-tem- pered, she vainly tried to make others cross, also, and she blew their most cher- ished new straw hats into murky mud puddles. Occasionally one could see, as the sun struggled out from behind the clouds for a second or two, that Nature was for a moment impishly smiling over what she had done, but the cold tears always came back again. Angry with all of life in gen- eral, she blustered madly about, blowing the waters of the lake into waves a moun- tain high and the temper of the people higher still. All day long, she was cross and sulky. Toward night, worn out with the exer- tions of the day, she sent the sun to bed early, then, like a naughty child, she cried herself to sleep. -Frank Weeks, '13.

Say, you poor piece of molded clay, have you a friendly smoke which you would like to trade for a perfectly good college with a twenty-three room frat- house with twenty-two great, big, empty rooms in it? Because if you have, I'll trade you this school. Ilve been sitting up alone with it since last Friday night, and I don 't want it any longer. I'm tired of it. It 's about as cheerful a companion as an Egyptian mummy in a state of bad repair. Little did I realize, sweet infant, when I refused to go home with you for Christ- mas, because I wanted to study and be quiet, that I was going to be so blamed quiet. I didn 't expect the universe to go into mourning for my sake. Here's the school, big as life, gymnasium just as splendid, but the whole thing might just as well be a canning factory. Of course, I don 't want you conceited fiunkers to be laboring under the impression that you are the whole works. but I will admit that when you packed up and said good-bye to the dear old college for Christmas holidays, you took the college with you. Say, you brainless beauty, I'm as lone- some as a mosquito on a Seligman's Es- says on Taxation in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Robinson Crusoe isn't in it with me. It's enough to make a preacher swear. Quiet? Why, man, mere words Would- n't do justice to the maddening, coma- tose conditions of this revered school of learning. I began to hunt yesterday morning for a college student. Hunted until evening, when I ran across that dried-up, that imitation of a man, Jack- son, who wanted to abolish football. I had always sympathized with him for having to associate with himself, but last night I greeted him like a long-lost broth- er and dragged him off to dinner. A Sophomore from Montana named Tubbs is here, too. Say, if Dr. Cook and he got together and started to swapping stories it would be about the toughest duel on record. Conceit? Well, rather. Never mind, it's better than being alone with the unfeeling atmosphere. Also there 's a lone girl over in Down- ing Hall. Called on her Saturday night. Introduced myself and had a mighty cozy time. Maybe you've noticed her-little Freshman who wears a blue serge suit and her own hair. And say-she can have me. Golly, fuzzers aren't in it with her. Quiet, jolly, easy to talk to, under- standing sort-oh, you know. But. hang it all, some one came and took her home with them for over Sunday. Say, wasn't I the World Champion Fool Hustler when I made my Prom date last fall! And Christmas Day! Well, the less said the better! Blue! Lonesome! Cold! It was the most nerve-racking experience I ever went through. Dinner-Merchants' Hotel-no comment necessary-with two traveling men and a vaudeville actor! About as cheerful and jolly an affair as you 'd find in any of the vaults of the Na- tional Treasury building! I escaped final- ly and walked out in the cold, cold world, puffing furiously at my pipe. Every un- sympathetic, blissful house was stuffed with Christmas trees and holly and tur- key and relatives and fun. I never felt so magnificently isolated in all my life. I sleep in a different bed every night, amuse myself by mixing the contents of the dresser-drawers and swapping every- oneys neckties and things. I can wear a diderent one every fifteen minutes, keep the ten alarm clocks wound up so that they go off at regular intervals. Oh, I suppose I'll manage to stick it out some way until you people get back. Yours, in great desolation, Fat. -Ruth Nelson, '13.

Yes, musicians! for they furnish incessant music every day, and all day, and in all seasons. In the fall, when we return to our little school-world, they send down myriads of messages, all murmuring sweet, soft tunes to greet us and renew our acquaintance, in winter they whistle their prolonged notes, and sway to and fro with the rhythm of their music, while in the spring they don their gowns of green, and introduce hosts of feathery, thrilling song- sters. Now, lest you should grow impatient of my riddle, these friendly giants that gracefully stoop down in their high maj- esty to bestow their loving tokens upon us are the nine grand old American elms that adorn our campus and look in at our windows. -Mary Albino, 'l2. EELIUM Come, Muses all, and gather 'round me here, I take my pen with trembling and with fear, I need thee all, for list to what I sing, 'Tis of a battle, a most terrific thing. 'Tis of a Senior bitterly oppressed, Come, Muses all, at my behest. It happened in a cold and wintry day, I saw him as he gaily went his way, His head was high, he thought his goal was near, He longed to leave his path so bleak and drear. But suddenly a Newcomer he saw He looked surprised, and then he shook with awe To see the Newcomer now Shak-es-pears. The Senior all alarmed then took his stand, His trusty Steele he held within his hand. Now fast and Swift the blows resound aloud, The sky o'erhead puts on a Gray-ish shroud. The night comes on, about the darkness thickens, Still on they fought, they fought just like the Dickens. While dully now the sky with watchtires Burns, Miss Charmock waits to record the re- turns. The Senior first began to faint and Hunk, But now the Newcomer gets it kerplunk! So thus they fight, 'til when Aurora 's ray Proclaims the advent of another day, With day the Senior's strength becomes tenfold, His trusty Steele he grasps with stronger hold. More swiftly does the noise of blows re- sound, The Newcomer is killed, he bites the ground. The Senior puts his foot upon his breast, His hand upon his heart is pressed. The light is o'er, as victor he has won, The day breaks forth and brightly shines the sun. His noble brow alights with manly pride, He ls won the prize, the prize for which he tried, The prize for which we all now dig and delve, The right to graduate with Nineteen- Twelve! -Helen Van Arsdale, '12. A TRAGEDY They approached from opposite direc- tions, one blushing red, the other deathly pale. The room was filled with onlookers, and there was a hush when the two came together and kissed. Just then a man with a club came up. The pale one was hit a hard blow and sent reeling away to one side. The blushing one neither screamed nor fainted, because such is the life of billiard balls. -Eugene Prostrednik, 1914. A PRELUDE Should you ask us, Whence these stories? Whence these legends and traditions, With their spirit of the classroom, And their praise of high school pleas- tires? We would answer, we would tell you: Where the rolling, grassy prairies Stretch away to meet the sunset, Where Lake Mich'gan's shining waters Lap and toss in silvery billows, Racine High School stands in grandeur, And these myths and tales were woven By the youths and maids assembled At that noble seat of learning. Many there do seek for wisdom. But in different ways they seek it. Seniors, with their thoughts prophetic, Turn to days when High School 's glory Shall be in her Annual centered. But within the Racine High School Dwelleth none like to the Juniors. None like them in wond'rous wisdom, None like them so freely gifted, None like them for mighty schemings How to make each fleeting moment Carry mingled fun and study. Then the Soph'mores. Oh, the 'Soph'- mores! Cling fast to the fond delusion That in all the wide creation There existeth no one equal To the Soph'mores. Oh, the Soph'mores! But the Freshmen! Oh, those Freshmen! Unfamiliar with their classrooms, Puzzled by the constant ringing, Ringing, ringing of the signals. But in spite of all misfortunes They smile on with brave endeavor, Hoping, slowly climbing upward To the flowery path of knowledgef, -Vlasta Jandl, '13. -Emily Donaldson, '13.

ALMOST HUMAN One afternoon in August as my cousin and I walked along the marsh, we saw a muskrat busily digging in a bank at the marsh's edge. We lay down and watched it for about fifteen minutes. Then she went in the hole. When she came out she had a real young baby muskrat in her mouth. She set it down and went in again, brought out a second, and then a third. There was a large tree trunk that stretched across the pond which was in the marsh. She picked up one of the baby rats in her teeth and walked across. This she did to all of them. We wondered why the muskrat had had to dig an entrance hole, so we Went to see. We saw that someone had stepped on the hole and crushed in the doorway. An- other thing that puzzled us was that she didn it swim across instead of walking on the tree. We discussed this and came to the conclusion that the young ones were too young to swim and too heavy to carry in the water. -Byron Gere, '15, FORGIVE He was in a bitter mood that Easter morning as he stepped into the big, quiet church. His head was bent. His face showed a bitter struggle and a rankling hatred. He shook his head defiantly. How he hated the world! Hated, hated it! His hands clenched convulsively till the nails entered the skin. Forgive? 'iNever! Services had begun. A deep, brooding silence filled the house of worship. The beautiful sermon was entirely lost on him as he sat with moodily downcast head. He was weary of the world, sick, tired, and unbelieving. He started quickly from his seat. A voice rang through the church and seemed to echo, Forgive ! A burst of touching melody pealed forth rapturously and then gradually died away. Such music! The soul seemed to soar in exultation and then die away in floating sound. The last notes lingered in Y ,,LL: . , f , LLL1,w LVLL - 18.12. i', lA i KATV1? N fg l gl , z 5 . . N 5 , , I .,.. ....

Forgive, it whispered softly, and slowly melted away into nothingness. Ile shook with a vague, unknown fear, sweet in its revela- tions. The church was slowly emptied and he was left alone. Ilis head was bowed low, but his face was illuminated with some strange, mysterious charm. A flood of roseate light from the stained glass win- dows touched him tenderly, as if in bene- diction. Through the open doors he heard the birds sing merrily. VVhat a wonder- ful world it was! Was not this life in- deed?

ALL HALLOW'S EVE The evening of the twenty-seventh of October I sat in my study reading. CIt might be well to mention that I was the only one at home.D About half-past eight the door-bell rang. I switched on the lights all through the house and went to the door. Then I screamed, and why do you think I did? When I opened the door a tall, thin figure swathed in a white, flow- ing gown, glided in and closed the door. and a thin, grayish hand took an envelope from the folds of its robe and held it out to me. I tremblingly took it and read: Mr. Jack o'Ltantern CJ. C. EJ Requests the pleasure of Miss Blank's company at a weird merrymaking On All Hallow's Eve, Tuesday, the thirty-first of October, At half-past seven o'clock, At the Old Haunted Barn in Hobgoblin Hollow Q2025 Main Std VVhen I read this I invited the silent ap- parition into the study while I wrote my acceptance. I gave him the envelope, he bowed and retired. Then I sat down to think it over. When I arrived at the Old Ilaunted Barn in Hobgoblin Hollow on Hallow- e'en, the same ghost who had appeared at my door several nights previous bade me, in sepulchral voice, to enter, and showed me to the dressing-room, and when the company had arrived led us down to the basement of the house. ml Q T is-,, - We certainly had entered the witches' den. One candle served to light the room, and by its light we saw the walls and ceil- ing had been covered with sheets, and great black lines drawn to represent cracks, while huge cobwebs were made of black thread.

And the cauldron did soon begin to bubble and paper packages were passed around and each one in turn poured the contents of his package into the cauldron. The contents of the packages were flour, salt, pepper, a ring, a button, a ten-cent piece, a crust of bread, and the various constit- uents of a Fate cake. The witches were left to attend to it while we played games, popped corn, bobbed for apples, and roasted chestnuts. With orange and black paper, thread, paste, pins, straws and scissors we trans- formed bottles into witches, and indeed some of the effects were very ludicrous. Then we were asked to go into the gar- den and pull the cabbages in a certain row. which the names of our partners for lunch were written. And the lunch! Do you care to know What it was? Well, I'll tell you about it, but first I must tell you of the decorations of the dining-room and the table. The picture frames and doorways were outlined with cabbage leaves. Cornstalks stood in the corners, jack-o'-lanterns on the window sills, and witches and black cats and bats hung everywhere. At each place at the table was a candle, the shade of which was decorated with a witch, a cat or some other Hallowe'en emblem. The centerpiece was a basket-shaped pumpkin filled with red and greenapples, purple and white grapes, and yellow ba- nanas. The lunch consisted of: Cold Meat Pickles A Mound of Mashed Potatoes Celery-Cabbage Salad Nut Sandwiches Ice Cream in the form of Fruits Walnut Cake Cider Bonbons Then the Fate Cake was cut and passed, and we played the old game of walking backwards down the stairs with a candle and a mirror. Shortly after- wards we left, all of us agreeing that we had had a royally good time at this novel All Hallow's Eve entertainment.

As I did not care to die just yet, I went to a Benedict to be advised, but there I bumped into a Barr, for at the door stood a Crabb so fierce that I dared not try to enter. So I Wended my way to the Fratt, from which I saw a maid, wearing a Cape and a Hood, who was going Rowan with a couple of Davidsons. I was so dunnbfounded that I stood there looking at a Martin which was going to a Biehn patch near the village of Raymon. Around this patch was a fence bordered by Marguerites, on which sat a Byrd called a Myrtle Warbler. In this village there stood a Brown building, which was a double store, the janitor of which was a Cfahjoon who wore an old-fashioned Spencer. One-half of this store was occu- pied by Perry, who was a storekeeper, the other half was a restaurant conducted by Jacobson and Peterson. There I found Simon, the waiter, who informed me that Kannenberg was Eaton his lunch. On the second floor of this building was the office of Michael Costello, editor of the 'fFreeman, the village newspaper. He was sitting in a Morris chair interviewing an Albino, who was relating her escape from the Chinese city of Henken. She said it seemed as if the Chinese could not keep from Sinnen, but, with all their faults. they had some good qualities. As I was leaving I saw Samuel, the gardener, washing the third-story windows without the aid of a step-ladder. Samuel had a black-eye CBlockiJ and wore Haub-nailed shoes. -Louise Boardwin, '12, HIS VACATION Now, Mr. John Harlow, of the rising law firm of Harlow 8z Dodge, I, Mr. Har- old Dodge, of the same firm, do hereby certify that I will accept no and, if or but on the question of your taking a vacation. I positively insist upon it, and that is my ultimatum. So you see, Jack, there is no wa.y of getting out of it. You. must go. But I don't need any vacation. I'm all right. I don't see any use in going off for a rest. You get into a hotel where you meet all kinds of people that bore you-until you are only too glad to get back. That is a kind of rest you get. I'd just as soon stay heref' You will do nothing of the kind, Jack. You are going for a vacation if I have to carry you off myself. A change will do you good. Oh, please d0n't exert yourself, my dear chap. If you are so crack sure that it will do me any good, then I will go. But-where ? Well, the 'Seaview' at Beachmont is a good place. You have plenty of ocean for swimming, fishing and boating. And I think that you will like the people. When shall you start? I might as well start tomorrow. When does the first train leave? Seven thirty-four. That will get you there about four fifteen. All right. If I'm going to leave so early, I'd better pack up tonight. So- long. Hope you have a good time, old boy. Forget it. With this he left the of- tice. As he was entering the elevator, Harold called out: Oh, Jack! Yes?', Come up a moment, will you, please? Jack came in. What's the matter now?,' I just wanted to remind you, that in case you go swimming you must be sure and not get your feet wet. How would you feel if you had been in Harlow's place and had missed the last elevator and had had to walk down six flights of stairs? Jack, remembering his mother 's injunc- tion to count ten before acting, did so, then, grabbing up the stenographer's notebook, he took a quick, careful, true aim and hurled it at his partner's head. Having thus expressed his feelings, he Q raw ' . J W3 lyyznf. I ' . Q igx 3' ef. walked down the stairs. At the third landing heepaused a moment to rest. Through the quiet building floated peals of laughter, which sounded suspiciously like that of Harold Dodge. Next morning, as Jack with a suit-case in either hand, was waiting at the station for the train to come in, Tim, his office boy, handed him a note. Opening it, he read: If you wish to prolong your stay let me know. Don't hurry. Have a good time. Harold. Later, while telling about the incident to the stenographer, Tim said, If some- body told me I could have as long a vaca- tion as I wished I wouldn't do what he did. Why, what did he do? 'tHe said, 'Tell Mr. Dodge, with my compliments, to go to the ---.' VVhat did Mr. Dodge say? '4That's the most curious part of all. He just sat down and laughed until tears rolled down his cheeks. Then he wiped off the tears and roared some more. After that he handed me half a dollar-and then-well, he just holleredf' Jack had left town Saturday morning and Harold fully expected to see him back by the next Saturday, if not sooner. Therefore, when the next Saturday and still another Saturday had come and gone without a word or sign from Jack, Harold began to feel worried. On the second Monday after the de- parture of his partner, Harold received this note: Since, contrary to expectations, I am having a fine time, I have availed myself of your liberality and will stay longer. Please pardon my delay in writing-be- cause-I was too busyf' This partially allayed Harold's fears. But when a second fortnight had gone by and he received another note to the same purport as the preceding one, Dodge's fears returned. The firm of Harlow 85 Dodge was not busy, and Jack could easily have taken even two months without inconven- WWA i- ss. -me 1 ' U. iff, 1 ' , K' ,. ......1 - ' fsi f' .H if-2 K ,1 I A ' 'sbs . a'. 'i'i1flx,57 iencing his' partner, but the latter did not know what could have changed Jack. He had fully expected to have him return in a. week, but now a month had passed with nothing but two short notes from Jack. This sounded very unlike the jovial Jack. For these reasons, Harold feared that his partner was ill, and was trying to keep his associate from worrying about his. Just like Jack, thought Dodge. I think I will run down there Sunday and see how things are. What did he find? What usually happens when an attrac- tive young man goes to a summer resort? It was the old story: The time, the place, the girl. Harold had come, had seen, and was satisfied. Taking a card out of his pocket he hastily scribbled: Stay as long as you like, old man, but let me know the date. Harold. Then he took the next train home. -Jacob H.

Baumblatt, '13, NATURE 'S SWEETEST MOOD It was a rippling, tinkling, tumultuous stream. Alders and willows trailed their branches in the clear, crystal water and waved listlessly to and fro. The water gurgled gleefully with sounds like echo- ing laughter. It rippled and sparkled over pure, silvery pebbles, leaped over emerald rocks, danced over coppery sands, and then whirled away into the shadows. Now and then a shiny silver trout leaped in the water and flashed away into darkness. Green, sloping banks ran down to meet the stream. feathery ferns nestled in the crevices of rocks and swept gracefully with the wind. The sun flecked the babbling water with alternate light and shadow. So, all day long, it pursued its merry course, splash- ing and tinkling with sweet melody. Then when night came on, and the moon flood- ed the world with soft, pearly light, it murmured a tender, sighing lullaby till all about was asleep. -Dagmar Peterson, '13, THE RETURN FROM ELBA The siege of Moscow was the turning point in the career of Napoleon Bona- parte. With five hundred thousand men, the greatest army ever led by a European general, he invaded Russia and marched to Moscow in spite of all resistance. When he arrived, the city was already in ruins. He waited a month, expecting overtures of peace from the enemy, but none came. The frost and snow of a Russian winter forced the Little Corporal to begin a rapid retreat, which closely resembled that of the British from Concord. With- out sufficient supplies, unaccustomed to the climate, and harrassed by numberless foes, the French died by thousands. With his characteristic determination the emperor returned to France, and, raising another army, began a campaign in Germany with three splendid victories, but Russia, Prussia, Austria and Sweden were now allied against him, the odds were too great, and when, at Leipsic, Napoleon lost fifty thousand men in three days, his power was completely broken. Finding his army disorganized and much of his popularity gone, he abdicated the throne of France and went to the island of Elba. In less than a year he returned to France, and before he reached Paris the whole French army had declared for him. The European powers that had dethroned him again united, but Napoleon took the initiative and defeated the Prussians at Ligny. Two days later, thru a fatal mis- understanding, and the treachery of one of his men, he was defeated at VVater- loo by Wellington and Bliicher. The de- feat was a decisive one, and on June 22, 1815, just one hundred days after his re- turn from Elba, Napoleon abdicated in fa- vor of his son. Expecting generous treat- ment, he allowed himself to be captured by the English, who exiled him to St. Helena, where he died six years later. Thus ended the career of Napoleon Bona- parte, considered by many the greatest leader of men in history. History repeats itself. We have a mod- ern case, which, up to the present time, is very similar to that of Napoleon. Theodore Roosevelt was elected Vice- President in 1900. When President Mc- Kinley died a short time later, Roosevelt became President. He immediately be- gan his attacks on the trusts and those who were monopolizing certain markets. On all sides he was hailed as the deliverer of the American people, whose rights were in danger. In 1904 he was elected President of the United States. His administration was marked by the continuance of his trust- busting tactics, which, however, accom- 1 'f ' I + , M .-sf.- ,., i... -. .,.,-x .f- at ': .f as'-we-i f-V' 'wr'--me-aww . plished no extraordinary results, and by his loud-voiced declarations that he would not serve a so-called third term, even if the people wished it. That was quite a large 'tif, but at that time the people of the United States would hardly have hesi- tated to make Roosevelt king if he had so desired. But he did not so desire, nor did he wish a third term-at that time. But if the people did not re-elect him, it would be a pleasant duty to say whom they should elect. So Mr. Roosevelt named William Howard Taft as his successor, and William Howard Taft was the peo- ple's choice for 19019-13. After seeing his protege elected, and his own term of of- fice completed-for the time being, at least-the ex-President departed for the wilds of Africa. There he spent nearly a year, shooting elephants and guides, hav- ing his picture taken, and getting his name into the American papers. When he had shot up Africa and killed everything in sight, he started for home and his postponed third term. See- ing that some of the foreign nations were considerably disturbed over certain mat- ters, he could not resist the temptation to stop for a few minutes and tell them how to run their governments. The advice was not always received as kindly as it was given, and the Colonel's dignity suf- fered not a little. When he reached home, he found that the United States was, in his opinion, on the road to ruin. After berating his form- er friend and colleague, President Taft, who had shown that actions speak louder than words, Mr. Roosevelt, with his cus- tomary unselfish foresight, offered to save the American people by accepting a third term as President. The American people, always unappreciative, have not been very eager to avail themselves of this kind offer, but the Colonel's hat is still in the ring, and in all probability will remain there until someone kicks it out. So far, the cases of Napoleon and Roose- velt are parallel: each has risen to fame, spent some time in comparative oblivion, Q ,Q if ' Q A- and then tried'to regain his glory. Napo- leon failed. Will Roosevelt? If he does not fail, he is the first man to disregard the precedent established by George Washington. If he does fail, perhaps he will spend the rest of his days, as Napo- leon did, at some modern St. Helena COyster Bay, for instancej, an exile, polit- ically, at least, from the world. On the other hand, he may still cling to his orig- inal plan of saving his erring country, and again run for the presidency. Who knows? -Charles Wratten, '12, THE HIGH SCHOOL OF MY DREAMS I was fatigued. Yes, utterly exhausted after fiercely endeavoring to see the point of an experiment on electricity. I dragged myself wearily down the squeaky stairs, and clasped and unclasped my hands nervously. That awful Physics experi- ment had made me desperate. I passed other students, who greeted me hurriedly, yet sympathetically. Their eyes were sad, and their faces lined by the trials of study. I really should have gone to Room Sev- en to write quantities of German verbs on the board. As I was about to open the door, I spied a chair standing in the hall. It had just been vacated by the teacher in charge. I dropped into it, and my weary bones rejoiced at the rest. Joan of Arc 's pale face caught my at- tention, and I gazed at her long and steadily. My head sank lower and lower, my tired eyes closed. I was asleep! Yes! asleep in the halls of learning. I dreamed of R. H. S. Not as it is at the present date. Oh, no! this dream in- stitution of learning was ideal. Refresh- ments were served at any hour on the third floor. Instead of Water ice-cold lem- onade was obtained at the fountains by the throngs of thirsty students. At this time there was no system of registration, but the students just walked out of the Assembly Room at their own free will.

'ggi the desk when students whispered. They simply smiled encouragingly. No clanging bells announced the end of the period. Instead, a flunky, clad in lux- urious livery, entered the Assembly Room and Went to each individual and asked those who had recitations the following period to adjourn to their classrooms. Whlen a student was tired, he had only to go to the Rest Room, where he could recline in a hugh easy chair for a period. There were no hated school books, no dates, no diflicult rules to learn. In class the boys discussed football, baseball or racing, the girls talked over the latest events of society, While the kind-faced in- structor passed silently from one to an- other, and if a student talked especially well, he received an encouraging pat on the shoulder. At the termination of the period, the pu- pils did noti have to climb long flights of stairs. Elevators stopped at each door, and in this way the students were con- veyed from one recitation room to an- other. The students in one recitation were just enjoying a talk about the Country Club dance when the flunky announced that the period was over. I awoke with a start, and looked up. Oh, cruel fate! It wasn't a richly-clad flunky who was speaking, it was Mr. Brooks, who called a cheery Good- night to me over the railing. Ah, yes! the high school in reality and the high school of my dream are two dif- ferent institutions. I had no elevator to take me to the hall, so that I might get my wraps, but had to walk up the long flights of stairs, tired as I was. I tried to comfort myself with the thought that perhaps when women had the ballot, conditions in the local high school would be like those of the high school of my dreams. -Hazel Buck, 'l3.

Every- body in the Assembly Room was heated and uncomfortable. They squirmed and twitched, and twitched and squirmed, really adding to their misery, although they were unaware of it. At length a cool breeze from the lake wafted in through the window. Slightly relieved, Lucy, an important little Freshman, set- tled down in her seat, with an exhausted air. Oh, how I wish it were a month from now, she said to herself, longingly. There would be: No more lessons, no more books, No more teacher's saucy looks. And, continuing rather dreamily, I sup- pose a month from now I shaall be out at Grandma 's farm-maybe, in the hammock under the trees, or drinking soda Water, or eating candy-um-um !

Lift up the cover and let me out. I am in the inkwell. Lucy, filled with excitement, and trem- bling with joy at the thought of actually seeing a fairy, nervously clutched the inkwell and opened it. Out stepped a be- witching little creature, robed in shim- mering white, her'mass of golden hair wreathed with a dainty crown of gold. She bore a scepter in her hand. Gracefully she dropped a low curtsey to little Lucy, who sat with her hands tightly clasped before her, and her eyes beaming with excitement. Again the tinkling little voice was heard. Laughing softly, she said, Come, now, Lucy, is this the kind of reception you are going to give me? There. that is better. Now. since you have all your lessons done and your theme written, let us have a pleas- ant little chat. And Leonore seated her- self comfortably on the desk before Lucy. At the mention of the theme Lucy start- ed up with a frightened look, as though recalled to life. But, oh-I had almost forgotten that I have a long theme to write for the 'Kipikawif Oh, dear-oh, dear-what shall I do? cried Lucy. You don't mean to say, Lucy, that you haVen't finished your theme! said the Queen, surprised. Why, when I saw you lounging so lazily in your seat I thought surely that you had linished your work. ' ' Well - but-I-I-was -just - think- ing what to write about-I don 't see why the teachers make us write for that old 'Kipikawi,' anyway. It is all bosh and nonsense. So therell' she said petulantly. The Queen of the Fairies seemed more than surprised at this sudden outbreak of temper, and said, '4Why, Lucy, my dear child, I never thought that I should hear such a remark from you. You, who al- ways seemed so ambitious and conscien- tious, talking in such a silly way. What is the matter, child? Matter enough! Lucy answered. Here it is, such a beautiful, warm day, and I have to stay in this miserable school- room and write a theme. I just despise school- I do, and I wish that I was out to Grandma 's this very minute, oh, I do- I do ' The queen's surprise turned to anger upon seeing Lucy in this mood. She said: Well, my dear, I see that you are in no mood for a chat today, and besides that theme must be written before the period is over. It must!-it must!!-it must! ! ! With this she stamped her tiny foot on the desk and dropped her scepter with- a decided force. When Lucy recovered from her sur- prise and fear she turned to speak to Leo- nore again. Well- But where was the queen and where was the tiny scepter? They had disappeared, and Lucy rubbed her eyes sleepily as she looked about her. What was her surprise to see, bending over her, her teacher, with an amused smile on her face. Why, Lucy, the teacher exclaimed, you surely werenyt sleeping? f'Oh, no,,' answered Lucy, but that fairy Was awfully angry. Well, laughed the teacher, you have been in Fairyland, then, and passed on. Lucy looked at the clock-only fifteen minutes to get that theme! Oh, I know what I shall write about! I do! I do! I'll write about Leonore. And she did.

He was fall alone this morning, for Lorenzo and he had quar- reled the day before. At his right lay Lo- renzo's home, and Lorenzo was all alone, too, because his father and mother worked in the vineyard, and at his left lay the forbidden fields. Father Niccoli had said: t'The taran- tula lives in those fields-the tarantula is a big spider-and it will bite you, and then you will feel all queer inside and forget how to see and hear, and they will get music and you will begin to dance, and dance, harder and faster, and harder and faster, until you fall down all tired out, and you will wake up cured. That was why Piero was not allowed to go into those fields. But when one could just see the trees where a little brook was bubbling, so cool and clear, over there- why, it was very hard to stay at home. So he started toward it slowly, because the sun was very warm-and there was another reason. At every step something seemed 'to say, Piero, you are a naughty boy, a naughty boy, a naugh- ty boy. But soon the voice ceased and he walked along, singing happily to himself. A big butteriiy flew by, and on and on he ran after it. The sun grew mercilessly hot. 'He gave up the chase and sat down on a mound to get his breath. Then he felt some- thing queer on his bare foot. It was a big brown spider with a black spot on its back. He screamed and shook it oi, but it was too late. He began to feel sick and languid, and sank wearily on the turf. Then a strange mist came before his eyes, and a ringing in his ears. Oh, why did I come? he groaned, and knew no more. 'But Lorenzo had watched Piero start across the fields and had seen with horror 5- W that he was barefooted. He quickly slipped on his high boots and followed. He ran when Piero chased the butterfly, he saw him stop, he called to him in vain, he heard him scream. He knew what the scream meant. Piero was unconscious When Lorenzo reached his side. He could not leave the boy while he went to get the musicians, for other tarantulas would come. The two were about of equal size, but Lorenzo half carried, half dragged Piero on and on, it seemed for miles, to the door of his home. Then Lorenzo had to get the musicians, for they alone could wake him out of his trance. The nearest village was two miles distant, but he bravely started out. Oh, how hot the sun was! It made his head swim and his steps lag. The dry, hot earth burnt his feet even through his boots. He stopped at a little spring to quench his thirst, and started off for the second mile on the run. He stopped at the first cottage and asked if there were any musicians in the village. Musicians, child! No, no. But there are some a few miles north of here, the housekeeper answered. A few miles north of here! The words echoed harshly on his ear. Has anyone here a donkey? It was the only resource. All the donkeys are in use, child. No, let me see, I think we have one you might take. But you might be a thief, and never bring it back. 'tTrust me, please, oh, please! cried Lorenzo. See, I will give you my boots and this gold bracelet if only you will trust me. So the bargain was made, and Lorenzo, seated on a donkey's back, started for the next village. The distance was cov- ered in a short time, and when Lorenzo asked again for the musicians he found them, and the party set out for the little hut where Piero lay. ' When the musicians reached Piero they struck up a lively tune. The boy awoke, he began moving, he started to dance. The music grew wilder and faster, and ,1 . . A 'h ,T K .

I'D LIKE T0 BE I'd like to be a poet, And I'd be one every time, If only when I had a thought I could find a proper rhyme. I'd like to be a singer, The world by storm I'd take If only when I tried to sing My poor voice didnlt break. I'd like to be an artist, Witll pictures to bring me fame. But the pictures that I dream of VVhen on paper's not the same. I'd like to be an actor, And on the stage I'd go, If only when I tried to act I didn 't tremble so. But since I can't be what I'd like I'll buckle down and delve, And then perhaps-I'1n I10t yet sure, I'll graduate with 1912. -Arthur Dunp'hy, '12.

VACATION TIME The whole world is looking at me with a smile, The school-bell will take a rest for awhile, I don 't hanker for schooling, it is I10t my way, For, you see, all the blue sky is out today. The birds in the grove have a sweet little song, The bees in the grain are buzzing along, Fresh breezes are blowing, no clouds on the way, For, you see, all the blue sky is out today. The fiowers in the grove have a sweet, pleasant scent, The cherries and berries their sweetness have lent, I don't care for school, how could I? Say? For, you see, all the blue sky is out today. Then good-bye to our books. for awhile at least, Our studies and lessons will all now cease. Then hurrah! Let 's all be happy and gay, For, you see, all the blue sky is out today. -Mary Vrana, '12.

Oil stains do not sink below the surface of the wood or bring out the beauty of the grain. Varnish stains are not stains at allg they are merely surface coatings which produce a cheap, shiny, painty finish. johnson's Wood Dye is a dye, in every sense of the word. It penetrates deeply into the wood, bringing out its natural beauty without raising the grain.
