School opened to- day, and once again the Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores take command of their respective studies, and prepare to con- tinue their voyage over the great Sea of Responsibility. Numerous Freshmen were seen roaming about, looking very frightened and bewildered. The upper classmen smile encouragingly and conde- scendingly at these little green sprouts. A football meeting was held today. The team intends to start things early. Wednesday, Sept. 6. Coy Hood was elected manager of the football team, and Aubrey Harnett captain. We hope that Little Cub will lead his comrades through many glorious victories. Thursday, Sept. 7. Troubles have be- gun early for the football team, as one of its members, Allen Townsend, broke his shoulder bone at practice today. Friday, Sept. 8. News comes of the death of one of our classmates, Ernest Schulz. We shall miss Ernest, for he was a strong and capable student. Monday, Sept. 11. We filled out our Daily Programs this morning. The excitement was too severe for one of the Seniors. He fell asleep. No names men- tioned. Representatives from the class attend- ed the funeral of our classmate, Ernest Schulz. ' Tuesday, Sept. 12. The State Fair opened in Milwaukee today. We observe that there are a number of empty seats in the Assembly Rooms. ALL ATTEND- ING THE FAIR? Friday, Sept. 15. A mass meeting was held in the Lower Assembly Room this morning. Mr. Brooks laid down some new rules concerning excuses. We sol- emnly resolved to be absent but seldom, as the new process of Excuse Cards would tax our nervous systems too se- verely. We were also warned against holding track meets on the stairs. We are won- dering what the result will be when we have to go from Room One in the base- ment to Physics or Chemical Laboratory on the fourth floor between second and third periods. The remainder of the time was devoted to arousing enthusiasm for football. Mr. Rees addressed us, as did several other members of the Faculty. Again Death enters our class. It is with much sorrow that we learn of the demise of Edna Milstead, one of our class- mates. She was sincerely loved by all who knew her, and her loss is deeply felt. Monday, Sept. 18. The Senior Class at- tended the funeral of Edna Milstead in a body. We shall miss our departed class- mate. Mr. Brooks attended Glee Club this morning and sang with all his might. If

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? The very stars seemed to sing as his an swer fell upon her ear: HI am proud ot my Minnehahaf' -Emily Donaldson, '13
