As to the method of cultivating an earnest wish to move in harmony with the truths acquired, we grope in darkness; yet, if this wish has not been instilled, the education is not complete. In fact, it is a failure. I sometimes think how much more effective than our efforts in this respect are the homely teachings of an honest parent. There is a story told of an Irish mother, Mrs. Doolin. whose twelve-year-old boy was going out into the world to battle for his living. As she bade him good-bye, she earnestly entreated the lad to remember “There never was yet a Doolin that wasn’t on the square.” Think how splendid it would be if every youth enrolled under the banner of “orange and black” would go forth from this school determined to heed a similar injunction from his Alma Mater—“Remember that every S. H. S. is on the square. I hope that each member of the class of 1912 with whom I have journeyed so pleasantly the past four years will strive to fulfill the requirements of a complete education by living in harmony with the great laws made evident by his study and in such a manner that his community and state shall be glad that he has lived. JOSEPH JORGENS. South Side High School South High School Auditorium Manual Training and Commercial Building H Coast to tbc Class of 1012 (From One on the Outside.) Here’s to the health of you— Here’s to the wealth of you— Long may your spirit of loyalty rule, Brave is your record made— Baycrowned the games you’ve played Winning the championship for the old school! I hough you win world success. There is a blessedness Nothing but memories loved can bestow: School days and friendships dawn. Prowess of brain and brawn Will bring you happiness more than you know. May your Life Trail be free Yet blazed on every tree. Marking the way for you straight to the height; What you at length will win Rest firm on what has been Glory lies everywhere—saving in flight! —QUENTIN. “June 12.” and Mr. Jorgens entered South High School at the fame time. After four strenuous years 'June 12” has “made it.” Mr. Jorgens after four laborious years is still ‘at it.” Both have accomplished much. For the benefit of South High, we ardently hope that our principal never will succeed in accumulating thirty-two credits. 'May there always be a conflict in his program.” is a selfish but an affectionate toast. Four years ago 'June 12” congregated at our entrances and patronized our home industry elevator to the A. H. They have successfully passed the Bellum Helveticum, and the Lex Exponentium stages. They have witnessed Symphony Concerts and Championship Foot Ball Games. Their development has been comprehensive. 1 heir success has been, in a large measure, due to to the following reasons: ' June 12” spirit; Athletic and Literary Cham- pions; a progressive faculty; and enthusiastic Alumni support. As a climax of their efforts and their records they offer you this Tiger. The magazine is not a literary effort, but an attempt to give the class a book whose perusal in the future will revive many happy recollections among its members. It is a students' book, and as such let it be judged. Be merciful for its childish expressions, and liberal in your appreciation of its more mature thoughts. As the perpetrators of this outrage, we expect some little criticism, but we are not afraid of it. On the contrary, we relish it. we enjoy it. we thrive on it. it amuses us. We are not seeking an immunity bath, but if you consider a personal injustice has been committed in your name, charge it to human error, and— Let the sulphurous rifts of passion and woe. Lie deep 'neath a silence pure and smooth.” P gr Nine abc Regular Gbing In these modern times it is the custom for a school to publish a small book which is made up of compositions submitted by its marvelously bright students. There is a set formula for these publications. There is always, of course, the time-honoied class history, without which, it seems to be understood, an annual could not exist. They always start something in this manner: Four long years ago there entered through the portals of this grand and dignified edifice a band of raw, green-eyed, pigeon-toed, bashful youngsters who were destined, in their time, to become the most wonderful, brightest, best-behaved and altogether the most extraordinary class in the history of this famous institution. They passed the character-moulding stage known as the Freshman’ year and entered into the semi-civilized state of Sophs.' And so we ramble on through the cut-and-dried stunt of the class history business. Equally, of course, there must be some poetry, and it must be written by our own dear students. If there is any nuisance at large that causes more annoyance than a rabid dog, it is the amateur poet. His stuff runs something like this: “Oft as I sit in the morning Chewing a cling-stone prune, The thought it comes without warning, ‘Oh where will I be when tis noon.’ No, ladies and gentlemen, I am not responsible for this composition. However, 1 refuse to reveal the name of the recreant who is the author. The chances are. of course, that he will be at the same table with the same red table-cloth, struggling with more cling-stone prunes, but it would never do to say so in poetry. I refrain from committing the crime of poetry such as this for I am of a very peaceful disposition. Then for the wit and humor page. It seems to be a rule that all jokes, to qualify for publication, must have had at least ten years experience before the public. This is an excellent idea, for in this manner no chances are taken with new and untried jests. A Freshman bashfully trips up to the Editor's desk and anonymously submits the following original side-splitter: Freshman: Do you like doughnuts? Sophomore: No, I do not. If this joke is too deep for any person, kindly call at the Editor’s office and we will be glad to show you the original from the book of Genesis. All that is left is the art (pronounced ahtt ). This, you may be able to understand, cannot be done in words, so I leave it to the Art Editor of the book to illustrate this division. In conclusion let me beg forgiveness for the cynical attitude I have taken on this question, but this is written against my own inclination, and if I discourse pleasantly I must have pleasant thoughts.

Seats himself in the throne and bows to the gods and goddesses assembled.) Jupiter: What now! It must be something of great import which makes thee look so sad and serious. Surely immortals must be less vulnerable to mortals’ w'oes. Speak! Juno: My lord, ‘tis about the mortals that we would have you listen. The ethereal concussions produced at orchestra practice weary us and we would have an end of it. Apollo: I do not object, your majesty, for- Jupiter: Stay my lord. We will have thy reasons later. As I judge it, you, on this side, would oppose this organization. Juno. Mercury, and Bacchus; and you. Diana. Venus, and Apollo, on the other side, would listen to it. Very well, proceed. Mercury: Most Omnipotent, it disturbs the debatus. Even Oscaricus —greatest of them all—lost his head and began humming in the middle of his oration. Jupiter: And you, Bacchus—here, Fool, tap my Lord Bacchus with thy wand, last night’s revelry hath dulled my lord’s brain; here, Bacchus, what do you say? Bacchus: Drink to me only with thine----. Let off, vile slave, or I’ll slay thee for the benefit of Parcels Post. What, eh—Yes. my lord, coll Pa r Thirl yw-� cf thy dog of a Fool off. Fie hath raised a bump the color and size of a grape on my jowl. Why do 1 object? Why, in the climax of a joke I was telling to an admiring circle of mortals the horn of my Lord Apollo gave a mighty blast and set the temple atrembling and the mortals fled for their hearing. My ears and head have rung ever since.” Apollo: “Gracious lord, 'tis by thy high command that I instruct mere mortals and lead their orchestra. 1 pray thee listen to me. These reasons given are foolish and petty. Let my lords and ladies say what they will, they can find no immortal reason for their objection.” Diana: Lord Apollo is right.” Venus: “High Jupiter, when gods and mortals gather for refreshment in the banquet hall, the orchestra furnishes sweet lulling music, and makes nectar of soup, and ambrosia of bread. Even thyself hath been entertained in such a manner.” Diana: “Think, my lord, of the consequences should you take from them this liberal privilege. Methinks Mephistopheles would tempt them into Dreamland, should music be wrested from them.” Mercury: “We have Dreamland in our midst, for did 1 not behold mortals dancing in the hall while your orchestra was playing?” Jupiter: “Thy reasoning well becomes thee, my Lord Mercury. Apollo: “But your majesty must admit you approve of such cultured development among the mortals. 1 hey enjoy it, and, except for the noise. 1 am sure there could be no reasonable objection.” Jupiter: ”1 admit nothing. My part is to judge. Bacchus would speak. What weighty arguments hold you now, my lord?” Bacchus: A most serious matter. Oh, highest onel As I was saun- tering past Newspaper Row, me thought 1 heard the familiar voice of that mortal, Hendrickson, singing in Weeks’—that most degraded resort of games —and, my lord, ‘twas a melody I had heard our orchestra play. Every evil follows into places of Evil. Apollo: “Forsooth, Bacchus, thee would have us all angels! Most High Jupiter, I hold that were we to take from mortals this one pleasure, annoying as it may be to us, we would leave an opening in time which might be ill used toward the betterment of mortals. Alas, my lord, they might follow the crowds to the Gayety” Page Thirty-eight Juno and Diana faint. —or while away their time in the Orpheum. Oh. we who are responsible for the every move of mortals cannot realize how great and heavy is our duty. The denial of one pleasure opens the way for a thousand vices. ' Bacchus: “My lord, this meeting of the gods has taken a more serious turn than usual. 1 suggest we appropriate money to erect a separate building —padded and made sound proof—for orchestra practice.’’ Jupiter: “This is obviously the best solution of a most trying question. We are much indebted to the scholarly mind of my Lord Bacchus. So, Mercury— Get thee gone to the light of day. And to the mortals this edict say: That they shall play in their mortal way; And thou shalt fears for their rights allay. Exeunt. —EARL LOBDELL. Uac jfint After much research and tedious compilation of data, the class of “June 12“ has been able to chart out some of the most dangerous shoals in the “Sea of Education.’’ We urge under-classmen to take advantage of our efforts and be warned by the symptoms displayed: The Isle of MacDermid is much isolated by chill currents, but we are led to believe that the heart of the island is very temperate. The land itself takes the form of a right angled equilateral parallelogram. The Mariner should be wary of the shoals of the Isle of Janet, situated directly off the mainland of Schureman. Steer N. N. W., by N., through the shoals of “My Five Minutes’’ into the Bucknam harbor of “Politeness. The Coasts of Westerson are frequented by intermittent gusts of “wind,” preceded by an elevation of the corrugator supercilii. The “skipper” should be warned by the increased humidity as he nears the “Prevailing Keatleys,” or he surely will be “caught” in their irresistible grip- In case a Gale is encountered, call all men on deck and sing. Sing anything, but sing! sing! p r- nifty nine Cfocrc’s a Cavern tn Cur Gown In view of the fact that we were so severely charged by Mrs. Jones in the early part of our school year, to refrain from a harping criticism of the lunch-room, it is with dark forebodings that I approach this subject in fear and trembling lest I condemn myself now and forever. It is needless to say anything concerning the popularity of this establishment; for, after having barely escaped losing a portion of your anatomy in a vain attempt to cover three flights of stairs, with your head in the lead, it is somewhat consoling to collide into Mr. Carlson, calmly descending the opposite staircase in a similar manner. This is only the result, however, of the lunch-room policy of first come, first served. If the number on your order slip is hovering about the 40 mark, there is some hope; but if it’s soaring in the 60s or 70s, you just sit back with a look of sweet resignation on your face—and wait! And now while we’re waiting we may as well take a general survey of the appearance of this favorite haunt of ours. Almost the entire room is occupied by small tables, each having four chairs, and each being covered with clean paper napkins. At one end of the room is the cashier’s desk, past which no one is allowed to escape without duly coming across for value received; at the side is the counter from which all the savory articles proceed, carried by the student waitresses in white aprons and caps, and to which the longing eyes of both students and teachers are frequently directed. In football season large sliding screens shut off the other end of the room, and although we re not officially informed about the proceedings on the other side, we should judge from the amount of noise which issues from that quarter that the chosen few are enjoying life immensely (which means, of course, that they’re eating). Cleanliness and simplicity seems to be the ruling factors in this organization, and the combined effort is most satisfactory and inviting. And now. strange as it may seem, added to all these subordinate benefits. the real purpose of the lunch-room is equally inviting in its inducements, and satisfactory in its results. The carefully prepared menus furnish food for mind as well as body; for on some days there are dainty salads and various concoctions on toast; on others, fancy bouillons and foreign puddings; while ever so often our eyes are gladdened by plain English words— Roast Beef and Potatoes. or Boiled Dinner, and we rest in peace, for we know what’s coming. To be sure, there are sandwiches, pies, ice-creams and cakes served at recess, and all are fully appreciated by the students. But if anyone wishes to make a trial of our lunch-room, we would advise a visit at one o’clock, with sufficient practice in Marathon races to insure early service. —ELEANOR MORRIS. Foi'y Jfilcbefc ipbilosopb? jfrom jfljMcaves It seems to be a universal habit to mark our books in some manner, either for identification or otherwise; and in our high schools it is the custom to write little bits of original poetry, scraps of prose, and the like, on the flyleaves and edges of our beloved text books. I say beloved, because several sarcastic souls have expressed themselves in the following manner: “If there should ever be a flood, Back to tHis book I'd fly, l or if the whole world be submerged. This book would still be dry.” “If this book should chance to roam. Give it a kick and send it home.” ft “If this book gets off the track. Feed it oats and send it back. One who seems to possess an abnormal amount of alliteration kindly condescended to contribute the following flow of effusive English: “A reasonable reward will be graciously granted by the optimistic owner of this black covered booklet to the conscientious person finding it when lost, if he or she will kindly return it to the above named owner of the pamphlet. Someone evidently valued his book, since in his poetical endeavor he mentions the price paid for it: “Do not steal this book, my honest lad. For lorty-five cents it cost my dad. The above and the following quotations are of good service, in that they request others not to appropriate the books for their own use: “If you, dear reader, wish to borrow this book. Don’t go about it in the way of a crook. But just ask the owner if it may be so— You may be sure he’ll not answer no. There are three persons who undoubtedly have acquired some knowledge of the interior of their texts, since they have written warnings of the difficulty to be encountered if that subject is pursued. They are quoted here to exemplify the pleasant thoughts that were brought to the studiously inclined persons who composed them: “Wide as the ocean, deep as a brook. Is the knowledge contained within this book. So I say unto you who would turn its pages. To learn all this will take you ages. Pag Fcrty-on “When I endeavor to study this book. 1 can read and read, and look and look, Yet it might as well be a big, blank page. For I couldn’t learn this if it took me an age.” “Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: 1 flunked again.' The following little gem was purloined Irom the Latin grammar of one of our honor pupils: All the people dead who spoke it. All the people dead who wrote it. All the people die who learn it. Blessed death, they surely earn it.” The edges of our book are usually inscribed with something on the order of the examples cited below. They may sometimes be seen across a room because of their large printed characters; sometimes they are hardly discernible without the aid of a microscope. It all depends on the size of the book, the number of similar inscriptions, and the age and amount of handling the book has undergone. A few are: “Open all night.” “Let Us Study.” “Closed. Legal Holiday. “Dull Care.” “Quarantined: Epidemic Within.” “Shake Well Before Using.” “Deadly Poison.” “Going Out of Business.” We Close at I :00 P.

The exact date of its first use is not precisely known, but it is presumed that it came into common use about the time that books were so greatly cheapened by improved devices for printing. This decrease in the cost of books naturally permitted the use of more elaborate inscriptions on the flyleaves, hence our surmise of the date of its introduction. The method has at this period its highest popularity. Yet it is being worked against by powerful enemies, and we may expect a decline. I hese edges and flyleaves were, of course, left blank by the publisher for the very purpose to which we ingenious pupils have put them. —IRVING POHLSON. '13. Pigc Forty-two IMPROVEMENT PLAN SHOWING PROPOSED ATHLETIC FIELD row SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL MINNEAPOLIS. MINN. JANUARY I9l2. jfootball A number of years have passed since the championship rested with South High. Many times it was almost within our grasp, but at the last minute fortune turned against us and it was lost. 1 he team this year was surely a team to be proud of. What they lacked in weight was indeed made up in speed and fighting spirit. At the opening of the season the prospects of a winning team were indeed poor. Only four of last year’s regulars were back in school, and the new men were mostly light and green. But even this dark outlook could not discourage the coaches, who immediately set about to perfect a winning team. Too much credit, indeed, cannot be given the coaches. 1 he team was surely fortunate in having as coaches such men as Mr. Hawthorne, the gymnasium instructor, and Mr. Oscar Solem, an old South High Alumnus and football player. A better pair would be difficult to find. It might be said that Mr. Hawthorne was the general overseer and condition maker, while Mr. Solem was the fight producer and field general. Each should be given great credit for his share in the building up of such a team from almost wholly raw and untried material. The prospects were presently brightened by the return of our “All Star” center, Flagstad, in time for the East game; and a little later by the return of our “All Star” end of the year before, Fritz Gulden. At the opening of the first game, East was considered likely on account of superior weight. This “dope” was presently to be shaken. South came out the winner in the South-East game. The score was 3 to 0, but the game was not as close as the score would indicate, the tide of battle always being in South’s favor. The only score of the game was made in the first quarter, when Captain Low drop-kicked a goal from the field. South threatened to score at other times throughout the game, but failed to do so by narrow margins. I hree weeks intervened between this and the next city High School game. During this time the coaches patched up the weak spots and perfected plays and formations. On one of these open dates the team went to St. Cloud to play the St. Cloud Normal. By November 2nd the team was again ready to line up. this time against West High. The game was called, and during the first quarter neither team was able to score, although both threatened to do so. At the beginning of the second quarter South scored a touchdown. W'est immediately protested, saying South was off-side. I he argument lasted some minutes, when it was finally decided that the score was legal, and South was not off-side. West, either feeling that they were imposed upon, or fearing the final outcome of the game, forfeited it to South. The official score was 1 to 0. During the week previous to the North game, the line-up of the team was changed somewhat, their old plays perfected and new ones tried out. By November 10th South was ready for the crucial game of the season. If she won this game the championship was practically hers. It was in this game that her true worth was seen. She was outweighed by her opponents about Page Forty-fcire Solem Hawthorn: Olsen Savage Lyneen Curtain Flagstad Moe Eklund Anderson Bralaas Sauer Warner Gulden Low Farrell Humphrey Truman Juster Bissonette Ballentine ten pounds to the man. Still, against these odds, she held them to no score throughout the game. She scored twice herself, once in the second quarter and again in the third. The game ended with the score 6 to 0, and South had practically cinched the championship, only one game remaining between her and the pennant. A quotation from one of the newspapers would illustrate the playing of the team: 'South was an automaton composed of ten cogs and a governor. Before the game Coach Hawthorne had oiled his machine to the highest point of efficiency, and there was not one slip in any part of its most intricate formations. ' South was now picked to win the championship. The views had changed somewhat since the beginning of the season. During the week of practice before the Central game, the team was engaged in no scrimmage, practice was deferred wholly to the gym,” where plays were went through. Finally the day for the game arrived; also a snow-storm made its appearance, and the field was covered with at least a foot of snow. In the morning the second team was excused from school that they might clear the field of snow. By the time the referee’s whistle sounded the field was in fair condition, although somewhat hard. During the first five minutes of play South looked a sure winner. A blocked punt was recovered on Center’s five-yard line, but with three downs. South was unable to put the ball over the goal line. The remainder of the game was not featured by any brilliant playing on either side. Toward the end of the game Central threatened to score, but South held like a wall, and Central was forced to kick; the ball hit the cross-beam of the goal posts and was recovered by South. The remainder of the game was a kicking duel in which South held her own. The score ended in a tie of 0 to 0. South won the toss for the ball, and considered the game a victory, in that it gave her a clear claim to the championship title. Thus South ended the season with three victories and a tie to her credit. The sixteen men who were awarded Ss” in appreciation of their work on the squad were: Low (Captain). Quarter-back. Flagstad, Center. Curtain, Left-tackle. Gulden, Left-end. Ballentine, Right-end. Lyseen. Right-tackle. Brataas. Right Half-back. Humphrey. Left Half back. Warner, Left-guard. Anderson. Full-back.

Forty-ngM Coach’s Statement The football season of 1911 has been one of many surprises, not the least of these being the winning of the championship by South. Starting the season with a squad of inexperienced men, who were outweighed by every team in the city, our prospects looked rather gloomy. I hese disadvantages were counterbalanced by liberal doses of hard work freely prescribed by the coach, lots of good fighting spirit inherent in the members of the team, and a perfect harmony among all parts of the machine. Of the six games played, we won three, tied two, and lost one. South, 3; East, 0. South, I ; West. 0. South. 0; St. Paul Central, 0. South. 6; North, 0. South, 3; St. Cloud Normal, 5. South, 0; Central, 0. While these scores clearly give South the championship, they do not begin to tell the whole story. The team of 1911 not only won the football honors of the city, but it made an excellent scholastic record, and gained the support and approbation of the South Side business men. The South Side Commercial Club presented to the school eleven beautiful blankets, while the Alumni Association gave to each of the members of the team a sweater. Much credit is due Messrs. Solem and Savage for their able assistance in coaching. (Signed) —W. E. HAWTHORNE, Coach. Gymnasium Page Forty-nice Olsen Anderson Peterson Watts Low Gulden Higgcns Praia as Lawler Watson Hawthorne Thorp JBascball From the showing made thus far, our baseball team seems to be one of unbeatable caliber. The other school teams of the league have already learned to look to South for leadership. The championship game was the climax of a baseball drama enacted upon Nicollet Arena. Central and South playing the principal role. The Central team looked like a winner, as they had a 4 to 0 score up to the eighth inning, but our boys came in strong at the end of the eighth and tied the score. At the beginning of the ninth Central was to bat, and things looked bad for South. The opponents had two men on bases and no outs, but the team work of the S. H. S. put this to a stop, and then the exciting moment came for the fans, as the other schools would rather see Central win than have South get the title three years running. South won the championship with the last ball pitched by a score of 5 to 4. Although a few of the old players will not be seen in the line-up this year, a strong aggregation is looked for. The following men played on the championship team: Anderson, catcher, has a promising future, and with some more ginger and “pep.” will be a sensational backstop. Watson was a reliable twirler, and also strong with the stick. Lawler, shortstop, will not be on the team this year, and his services will be keenly missed. Low, captain, first base, has one more year to play. Brataas played a strong game at second base, and his base stealing was a feature in many a game. Gulden, third base, will pilot the team for 1912. His playing needs no mention here. We know his ability. Watts, left field, with a little more confidence in himself will make an excellent player this coming season. Peterson, right field, will play his third year, and should be a dependable player in his territory. Higgins, utility, took care of all positions in splendid shape. Thorp played center field. There is a considerable amount of promising material for this year, and with good support from the students the players are bound to repeat the feats of 1909. 1910 and 191 I. —CONRAD THORP. Manager 1911. P t FUir-ooc JBaefcctball A new sport has suddenly become popular in South High, owing, most likely, to the fact that we have such suitable floor space in the 'gym.’’ Great interest was taken this season in basketball, and much rivalry existed between the different classes. Teams from each class were organized, and a series of games was played to determine to whom the championship honors belonged. I o describe each game would take too much space, but I may say in passing that each game was well contested, and not a team went through the series without a defeat. The first honors belong to the Juniors, who met with only one defeat throughout their schedule. I he Seniors and Freshmen were tied for secondary honors, each team being defeated twice. Then came the Sophomores, who won only one game. Many individual Stars” developed, among whom were Higgins and I rueman, on the Freshman team. Both were sharks, as it were, in the art of basket shooting. Farrell also played a great game for the Freshmen. On the Sophomore team, Lawler and Laird showed up well. It is hard to decide who were the Stars” of the champion Juniors, and as there is not space to mention all, we must be satisfied with mentioning two. Mathews and Curtin each played a brilliant game. As the line-up of the Seniors was shifted so often, it is difficult to pick any particular players who showed up better than the rest. Savage played his usual steady game; McDonnell also played a hard game. Following are the scores: Freshmen. 31 ; Sophomores, I 3. Seniors, 20; Juniors, 17. Juniors, 27; Sophomores. II. Seniors, 24; Freshmen, 17. Sophomores, 21 ; Seniors. 21. Freshmen. 25; Sophomores, 10. Juniors, 19; Seniors. 16. Juniors, 40; Sophomores. 0. • Freshmen, 32; Seniors, 18. Seniors, 18; Sophomores. 14.

Much criticism will undoubtedly result, as there are so many more competent to pick a team than our humble Sporting Editor. He submits the following for criticism: Left Forward. Mathews. Right Guard. Farrell. Left Guard, Savage. Center, Curtin. Right Forward, Higgins. Craclt unorft Very little interest has been taken in track work during the last few years. A few men, numbering never more than four or five, would don the abbreviated costume” to do a little training, and so in consequence, track work has not amounted to a great deal in recent years. Last spring interest seemed to pick up somewhat in this line of sport, and P B “ Fifty-I wo a larger number of candidates, than usual, reported for practice. Frank Savage was chosen captain and work was then started for the first Field Meet of the year, which was held at Shattuck. A very satisfactory indoor interclass meet was held in the gymnasium. The Juniors seemed to have the meet pretty well tucked away until the last event, when the Seniors edged out by a narrow margin. Shortly after this a team was picked to go to Shattuck. Savage was entered for the mile and half mile; Ballentine and Mathews were entered for the dashes and quarter. A few other men were also entered for the weights and jumps, but did not compete. The meet was won by Shattuck. South scoring a second, third and fourth. The next meet of the year was the University Invitation meet. Savage, the only entry that competed, won a second in the half mile. The final meet of the year was the Minneapolis High School meet. Savage and Ballentine were the only two men placed in this meet. Ballentine was chosen captain of next season's team, and with the help of Mr. Hawthorne, hopes to put out a team even better than that of last sea son. “Zbc ipri e of the School” Cy Barlow, “Heinie” Hilgandorf, Willie” Hawthorne, “Hub Wilson, Swede Carlson.

Arrangements have been made for a new backstop and several other improvements for this year. The material is good, and South should be well represented in the inter-scholastic contests.

From left to right they are: Vahlborg Sund, right forward; Helen Gelan, left guard; Mary Roberts, substitute; Jessie Duncan, Captain, left forward; Lillian Johanson, center, and Mable Olson (not in picture), right guard. Every Wednesday afternoon, this team has practiced hard, until finally, it became the best girl’s team in the school. After a time games were held with the other class teams, the All Star Team being victorious each time. The first game was held with the A Freshmen, and resulted in a score of 24 to 4 in favor of the All Star. Then followed other games with scores as follows: B Freshmen 6—All Star 14. Juniors 0—All Star 22. Sophomores 2—All Star 1 4. After the All Stars had thus defeated every team of the school, they were declared Champions of South High, much to the credit of Captain Duncan. p� gr Fifty-litr The success of the 191 I-19 I 2 debating team of South High has been greater than that of any other team representing this institution in debate since the memorable year of 1902, when South received the C hampionship. At the first debate, on December 1 5, which was held in our own auditorium. very little enthusiasm was displayed. This was probably due to the fact that our team of the preceding year had been a losing one. In this debate with Central, South upheld the negative side of the question. Resolved that the Federal Government establish a Parcels Post. ’ The 3 to 0 victory, however, demonstrated that South had shaken her hoodoo. Three weeks later. South met with West High on the same rostrum. This time South upheld the affirmative side of the same question and unfortunately lost by a 2 to 1 decision. I he team did not lose hope, however, but worked hard for the debate with North High, which was held on February 5. This debate took place at North High and South upheld the affirmative once more. South not only won a 2 to I decision but also completely routed and overwhelmed North with their rooting. South’s hope for the silver cup now commenced to glow. Messrs. Hil-gendorf and Colic trained the rooters daily. The team composed of Messrs. Thompson and Youngdahl and Miss Christenson, drilled daily with Messrs. Skanse. Yaeger and Knutson. Coach Carlson, to whose efficiency much of the success of the team is due, was ably assisted by Messrs. Shultz. Adams, and Hilgendorf. Piif Filtr-KVfii The final debate was with East High in our own auditorium. South upheld the negative and defeated East by a 2 to 1 vote of the Judges. A crowd of 1.200 attended this debate and cheered the team on to victory. The immensity of this crowd was undoubtedly due to the fact that we were ably assisted by the girls in the advertising and disposing of tickets. As West High defeated North High, South did not get the Championship, but was a close second. —P. EMANUEL SKANSE. Parcels Post? SOUTH 2.

It did. A straw-pile in the vicinity yielded a pallet worthy of repose for the ancient knight watching traffic on the King’s Highway. With their feet towards the fire and their thoughts toward home, they waited and watched, while the stars simultaneously lost their luster and their interest. The rattle of a cart on its hasty way penetrated their ears and opened their eyes. Taking their tabs and pencils, they were able to gather the following information: “Forty gallons of bovine extract,’ for expectant metropolitans. Roads in poor condition. In favor of the re-election of Taft, and the completion of the Panama Canal. Believed Public Ownership.

At the expiration of that time, they reluctantly turned over the post to their successors and rode into town with a deep conviction of having performed their duty well, and at least having earned the promised banquet that never mateiialized.

The reversing of the plans for an assembly room, which was to seat only six or seven hundred with an excavation underneath for machine shops and bench rooms, and the rearing instead of an auditorium to seat nearly 2.000 people which would be more commensurate with the demands of South Minneapolis with its population of 80.000 people; the establishment of a manual training department, which was pronounced recently by the dean of one of our colleges as equal to any in the country; the introduction into school life of the only high school gymnasium in the city fully equipped in every respect, giving happiness, and incentive to school attendance; the installation of a dining room which for refining influences and homelike surroundings is equal to the best; the enlargement of the commercial department employing some of the best talent in the country with five times the number of teachers we had in the beginning; the reconstruction of the English course, winning last fall one of the best records in English at the University; the reorganization of athletics so that we have won the baseball pennant for three years in succession, also this year’s football championship; the purchase by the alumni of the finest stage curtain in the city, theatres not excepted; the establishment of chorus singing, orchestras, glee clubs, debates, good moral standards by addresses of splendid speakers.—these are some of the achievement during our high school course. When we remember our first day in the old buildings with over a thousand students packed in a place where there was scarcely room for seven hundred, we can t help but feel that things have moved, and we are glad it has been part of our education to witness the splendid progress. The work, however, is by no means finished, even now sentiment is quietly being created for future devlopment. The athletic field—the stadium, a new building where home keeping may be taught, are the next advantages demanded and if the citizens will rally to the support of these improvements, our Alma Mater will continue to be foremost in the city. Long live South High. P«8«- Sixty Jfytctf JVB JJso Cbc initiative The day before the game is spent in drill on signals, drill in one formation and then in another, drill on offence and drill on defence, constant hammering and nagging, until the players work mechanically, wishing that something would turn up to put an end to such harrowing monotony. The next day. in the club house, all the players seem to have lost their tongues. An air of tense silence prevails. I hey know they have to win that game; every player feels that just before a game. Today will be the first game for the majority of the players. Attempts to joke and talk, and awaken some sign of life, do not more than elicit a half-hearted, sickly reproof, if anything. Somehow that depressing feeling of heavy responsibility cannot be thrown off. They all solemnly rub the customary resin into their pants, with a dignity and a thoroughness that would do justice to the gravest Freshman that ever imposed himself upon his Alma Mater. They enter the game, and then the fighting power of a new man comes to the surface. Here is his opportunity, and he rips and tears, making some mistakes, due solely to nervousness, but always in dead earnest. His censure of himself is mingled with a contempt for his opponents. 'Together with the powerful help, urging and advice of the older and more experienced players, he fairly rushed his opponents off the field. lie would rather assume any disgrace than show signs of fatigue, or fail to fight every second of the time with a tenacity of a wounded beast. This fighting spirit and fearful earnestness is, perhaps, the chief reason why the team of 1911 carried the I win City Championship in triumph to Old South. The January class of 1913 proposes to act similarly to a green football recruit, and uphold the school and what it stands for, with an earnestness that will be apparent to all under-classmen. We are going to 'Play Up,” and we will be well represented in everything that will raise the good standing of the school. -WM. BISSONNETT, 13.

South High School, Tuesday, Dec. 5. Dearest Louise: Why don’t you go to a civilized school like S. H. S., instead of sticking away in that pokey girl’s school where you do nothing but study—study. We had an informal dance at Noble’s Wednesday, Nov. 29, and didn’t we have a good time? It was given by the A Seniors and the programs were little green books trimmed with green ribbon. I went with Dick Winslow, that nice, dark boy, that sat across from me in B Room last year. The orchestra was a miniature symphony, and frappe was served by four little South girls. It was good but there wasn’t enough of it. I only had four glasses. Red was the favorite color; there were so many pretty red dresses there. Oh. yesi I had a dance with Harry Field. Aren’t you jealous? He’s coming up to see me Sunday night. 1 will tell you about the next affair later. Your loving chum, MOLLY. P. S.—I pledged myself to tell you all the social events of your old school and never said a word about the Senior Hop at Minnehaha Hall. It was the night of the St. Paul Central Game. The football boys were there— but O—how tired they were! It began to rain just as we left the hall and we had to wait for hours for a car. Saturday, Dec. 23. Dear Louise: Oh—but I’m tired this morning, after last night, when wc had the football banquet, the Big Night at our school. Yes, we danced in the school gymnasium. It caused much comment thruout the city, but many thought such functions, given under the proper supervision, were without doubt a fine solution of the dance hall problem. The gym. was a very fairyland with its red and green lights, large Christmas tree, with its comfy fireplace and orange and black covered walls. Much credit was due to Mr. Burrier, who superintended all the plans of decoration and entertainment. The supper was another good feature and it was served in the new lunchroom. Now you’re thinking, was Harry Field there? Yes, he was, and he brought an insignficant little nobody—me. So there is no cause for jealousy. A Merry Christmas to you and all the girls. Now don’t forget to write Your old friend, MOLLY. P� l Siily-Fire January 20. Dearest Lou: Do you remember the last time I saw you? Just a year ago, and we were having the time of our lives at our club sleighride. Well, “history repeats itself. and last night we went to the class sleighride. There were two large buses packed with boys and girls. Our destination was Edina Mills and when we arrived there, we played games and danced. The music, in accordance with its rural surroundings, was an old organ, which had seen its best days long before the Revolutionary War, and a lone violin. I know boarding house chillens are always interested in the eats question. It was not elaborate, but very appropriate, and consisted of coffee, doughnuts and sandwiches. Our chaperon? A real, live man who did his duty well and sent us home early. The ride home was the most enjoyable. It was quite warm, and snowing softly, and the singing (I never heard one simple song sung in so many keys and with so many variations in all my life) beyond comparison. I am tired yet. We didn't get home till—well I guess I wont tell, hut it was late. Lovingly, MOLLY. February I 5. Dear Girl: Now you wont be jealous, will you, if I tell you Harry brought me home from the A Senior Social last night? It was a real class party, no outsiders, and almost every member of the class was present. Minnehaha Hall was obtained for the occasion. We played games, danced, and had “a bit to eat. Each boy took home two girls (as the fair sex outnumbered the masculine) so that each girl arrived at her home safe and sound. 1 think class parties are just fine, and that we ought to have more of them, this being our last year at school. I wonder how this old school will ever get along after we leave it, but 1 suppose it will survive, after a fashion. Oh, dear! I must get my German now. Really, if it weren't for studying. I should like to go to school. The telephone is ringing, and I’m going to answer it. Lots of love. MOLLY. Sunday, March 1 7. Dear Louise: My life’s vocation is decided. 1 shall be a society reporter for a large city newspaper, and I think that my position as a social reporter for an old student of South will qualify me for such a station in life. Our latest event P� � r Silty-Sis was the Hop at Vikings, Friday, March I 5. The music was good, and the crowd was just the right size. Viking Hall seems to be very popular for our hops.” It is near the school, and a neat, pleasant, little place. Red and green were the decorations, and being so near St. Patrick s Day, green predominated. The girls all wore the dancing caps, now so popular. Now to be perfectly frank, I didn’t have a very pleasant time, for Harry never asked for a dance, or spoke to me,—but how could he? We quarreled and I told him never to speak to me again, and man-like, he thought I meant it. Yours in sorrow, MOLLY. April 5. Dear Louise: Of course we are going to have a Junior, or rather Alumni Ball. It is going to be given May 3, and great arc the preparations for it. Dress seems to be the most important, and it is indeed a most worthy one. Harry has condescended to ask me, and though I am not positive. I think I shall go with him. Well, as you are coming home from school May 10, I shall tell you all about it then. 1 am counting every day till 1 shall see you again. Your loving chum. MOLLY.

PSixty-Ei«hl an Event of 10U One of the important events of the summer of 1911 was the Civic Celebration. “The Linking of the Lakes” and “The Children’s Parade” were two of its interesting features. Of especial interest to the readers of the “Tiger” was “Cleopatra’s Barge.” This boat was in itself a beautiful piece of workmanship; it was of gold and was propelled by silver oars in the hands of handsome slaves. In the stern of the boat, a scene of great splendor was presented. The picture portrayed Marguerite Wenzin as the beautiful Queen of the Nile; and in striking contrast Agnest Tollefson, as her fair-haired lady-in-waiting. The scene was completed by two colored pages and a number of musicians. At the other end of the boat, girls in Egyptian costumes managed the purple sails and completed the enticing picture. The boat was the master-piece of the South High School Manual Training Department, hence the writer takes pleasure in having this fact noted in the 1912 “Tiger.” During the hottest week of the summer, the boys spent their evenings and other leisure hours working on this “Ship of State.” The days of heroes have gone, but boys who will spend their spare moments working as hard as those boys did, deserve to be honored by the student body. Alvin Krogh, Class of June, 1911, as Masterbuilder, superintended the construction and was assisted in the building by Emun Christensen, Harry Knutson, Henry Hertzenburg and Norman Brawthen. Too much credit cannot be given to the girls who made their own costumes and gladly gave their time and enthusiasm to make the first venture of its kind a success for South High. Miss Hertzenberg, Class of January, 1910, as property lady, rendered valuable assistance. Hazel Weedell, Class of June, 1911, with her well known artist s ability, gave the boat its final and attractive appearance. More and more do we realize that our school has many friends and that its circle of patrons is large. It was largely thru their kindness that many of the details were arranged and much expense saved. We are greatly indebted to Miss Sheldon of the University, for her originality and development of the artistic color scheme. Many of the teachers were out of town for the summer so that the work of supervision which is necessary with a group of High School students rested upon a few. To Mrs. Bucknam we owe the aroused interest of the school in this project. Mr. Barlow helped the boys with the machine work in sawing the lumber. Mr. Hawthorne played the part of the slave trainer; he taught and drilled the boys in their strokes. Miss Byrnes worked hard in creating her flowers and succeeded in becoming the successful rival of Mr. P g Sinr Nine Burbank. The power behind the throne was Miss Keatley. i he combined efforts of students, teachers and friends made the launching of the ship a complete success. —M. M. C. “JBlC00C 38c tbc fittedV or “'limbo Shall ittccb tbc Kingdom of Heaven as a IRefuge” There were, once upon a time, not so many months ago, in a certain educational institution for learned intercourse in mental training, and in propagating logic, meta-physics, and higher algebra, three, or four, or five, or may-haps six of the MOST industrious and totally UNAPPRECIATED youths of previously unblemished character, who took upon themselves the one most impossible task, of making for themselves a day of rest. In this case the cessation of mental activity was absolutely ESSENTIAL, as those intricate brain cells of so highly developed individuals, NECESSITATED a period of idleness for the purpose of recuperation. They returned to their infallible admonishers of wisdom. They were willingly misunderstood. They were judged harshly. They were criticized cruelly. Their reputation was exposed to the multitude. I heir heinous offense was shouted from the housetops. Their ambitions were blighted. The Valedictory, the Salutatory, and even the Honor Roll were denied them under this storm of prejudice. They were stunned. MORAL: Do not chew cloves unless it is absolutely necessary. —J. W. nothing to Bo Gill Tomorrow Say, Steve, I ve got a swell job; I have lots of time to myself.

High School education consists not only in studies, but also in developing the faculty of right thinking, and the preparation for good citizenship and in supplying good, wholesome fun. At the weekly Bean Club suppers, a prominent man in civic affairs gives a talk on some current topic, or delivers real advice in true cornucopian style. It is at the private meeting after the talk where true democracy abides, where fellows exchange frank opinions, pick each other and the speaker to molecules; yea, to atoms, corpuscles and ions, everyone taking home and applying the thoughts and advice received. Here the power of initiative and of public speaking is developed. The seeds of good citizenship first find nourishment here. In fact, it is impossible to mention in one short essay, to measure, or even to estimate the tremendous amount of good obtained in these meetings. As far as the social side of this organization is concerned, each meeting is a meeting of good-fellowship. Five Bean Club delegates were sent to the Boys Conference at Winona, to get inspiration and to find out what real fun was. The idea of wholesome enjoyment was developed in the week’s camp at Phelps Island. The development of inspiration and real thinking can be seen in the members themselves. They are the live fellows in the school, the fellows who take the initiative in good movements, the fellows who try to uplift the standards of the school, the fellows who are out for clean athletics, who are trying to kill the antagonistic feeling in school contests. We well may say, therefore, that without doubt, the Bean Club is doing more good and supplying more clean, wholesome enjoyment and right thinking than any other movement set on foot in many u day. It should be considered an element in a young man’s education at good old South High. CHAS. E. DOELL, Secretary-Treasurer. P«gr Flukty-oef THE ORCHESTRA. Sbc Orchestra The South High Orchestra is yet a new organization in our school. This is our second year and we are making good progress for a new institution. Much of the Orchestra success is due to Mr. Wilson, our director, who is one of this year’s new faculty men. He formerly had charge of an orchestra in Northern Minnesota, and he quickly showed his ability as a leader, for after a short time of practice, the orchestra was able to give an excellent recital. This program was for the purpose of urging students with playing ability to join the Orchestra. It brought good results and our membership roll was increased to twenty-five. The Orchestra up to this time has not made many appearances, but has several engagements. Among the many good players in the Orchestra, South High has a genius whose merit is easily recognized. We are quite sure that some day the name Ferdinand Oldre will rival that of Ole Bull, as a violinist. The Orchestra has many good soloists who are coming fast to the front and we are confident that the organization which has made so good a beginning, will continue to improve in the future. HAROLD AASE. Eigty-TKrw GLEE CLUB. Bovs’ t5lcc Club The Boys’ Glee Club is composed of about twenty students ranging from Freshmen to Seniors. No special inducements were held out as an incentive to get these boys together; but they came of their own free will, spurred on by their love for song. Although the material was very raw, and nothing was done until after Christmas, the club has. by practicing every Friday, reached a point where it can sing a song in a manner that promises life and success for this young organization. “Good Night Ladies, We’re Going To Leave You Soon.” Ctrls’ Slee Club The Girls’ Glee Club is two years old now. and is doing excellent work under the leadership of Mrs. Alberta Fisher Ruettell.

The concert by the South High Glee Clubs and Orchestra on April 19 was to raise money to buy our needed piano. P«t«- Eighty-Fit f TECHNICAL CLUB. THE TECHNICAL CLUE) The Technical Club has been in existence for two years, and through the efforts of Mr. James Fisher, instructor of Physics, it has become a powerful unit in our school life. I he club consists of all students who have a real interest in science. The large attendance is due to the fact that the club has lectures given by men who are first in their profession. The fact that the science of today is so broad, and the possibilities so great that it includes nearly every phase of life, makes the meetings both interesting and educational. The club plans not only to have lectures but trips to different plants and factories in our city which are considered foremost in scientific manufacturing. Already plans are put forth to have a larger and better informed club for next year. GEORGE A.
