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. Much, much love, From Hope. -Alice Wacherhager, ,09. MSF 1' ff i 1 I . u M, i i i

, qN ., ib V Q? K I C7 MR. 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.
