©ebtcatton To the Angel of Peace who has wandered too long, we dedicate this book “ Youth and I Went out to sea; Hope went with us, we were three. Ne'er was such a company. Ne'er was such an argosy,— Cloth of dreams for sail had we. THE four years passed have been splendid. The years to come seem a fairy world with all things possible; but the time comes at length when dreams vanish, and the awakening finds earnest business. I am not at all fearful of your tomorrow; life has been good to most of the boys and girls who shaped their future under the “Orange and Black,” and you have builded as well if not better. I could frighten you with spectres, punctuate sentences with “don’ts,” but I feel this: if the spirit which has permeated South High during your stay has not taught you the joys which come from adhering to right ideals, no words of mine at this late day will suffice. Whatever you go into, be of it and for it, with all honorable might. The leisure moments you may have, seize upon as capital to be invested for future dividends. Be patriotic in promoting the welfare of the state that educated and protected you. For such service there may be neither immediate nor future remuneration, not even appreciation; nevertheless, work so rendered is often the best and the finest. Joseph Jorgens.

And, patient subscriber, we trust that when you have made your critical way thru these pages, you too will forget the clumsy spots, the crude attempts at literary “style,” the shortcomings of its elegance, and say, “They did their best, bless ’em, ’cause it’s a jolly old book after all.” T HERE, is one class of students at South High to whom much credit and respect should be given. The student who works his way thru high school should be honored more than the football or baseball hero, or even the valedictorian. Much of his time must be spent at the shop or store so that he cannot engage in athletics. He, perhaps, would like to secure high marks, but this also is denied him, as sufficient time cannot be devoted to his lessons to ensure such success. He would like to go to the football, the interclass basketball, and the baseball games and yell for his class; he would enjoy taking part in the games, but he must quench his enthusiasm on all such occasions, as his employer demands that he be steady if he wishes to hold his job. Going to high school means to him more than merely spending five and one-half hours of half-hearted application; it means being self-sacrificing, something very difficult for the average person. The student who graduates from high school with the ability to enter the university, and who has been wholly or partially self-supporting, is truly a man. We are proud to say that a large per cent of the students at South High are of such caliber. T HE man who, today, invents a practical device is looked up to with respect and admiration. This man is original; he has new ideas and works them out. In our high school we believe that originality is discouraged rather than fostered, and wish for the sake of future “Tigers” to say a word about it here. Many of our English teachers insist that the student write upon the subject assigned, which is all very well, but why continually give them topics that they can moralize upon? In treating such lofty subjects as Portrayal of Character, Success, or Rocks in the Sea of Life, the student, in many cases, knows very little about them. He writes what he believes the teacher expects, not what he knows or thinks about them. We were once given the subject, How to Make a Wireless Telegraph”; instead of writing an essay on what we thot would appeal only to some one directly interested in such work, we wrote on “Wireless, a Triumph of Modern Discovery.” Later, upon inquiring why barely a passing mark was given when there were but few corrections upon it, we received the reply that it was not upon the topic assigned. Perhaps this teacher was right in demanding the work assigned to us, but why not let us write on another phase of the subject which appeals to us more? Oftentimes when a student disagrees with a teacher, he does not proceed far before he is cut short and must keep his original ideas to himself. Next time he wishes to disagree he will think twice before he speaks, and then undoubtedly he will not venture to voice his sentiment. Much could be accomplished if the teachers devoted a little more time to attempting to develop originality, in other words, to getting the student to stand upon his own feet. €ssap on J ames Names are very peculiar things. Sometimes they are ill-fitting and sometimes they suit the person to whom they are applied. Names are given to distinguish individuals and families. There are many names that are just as suitable as those in common use, but we should smile if we heard them. Some parents name their children May, June, and August. Why could they not just as well call them February, July, or December? There are persons whose surnames are Gale, Frost, Cloud, or Storm; but we never hear of Miss Cyclone or Mr. Tornado. Almost every day we encounter Mr. White or Mr. Black, or Mr. Gray, and Mr. Green; it seems strange that we never meet Mr. Yellow or Mr. Turquoise Blue. I remember Mr. Sand, Miss Snow, and Mr. Clay; but not Mr. Mud. Why would Miss Ice not be an appropriate name for some damsel? In South High we meet girls named Rose, Lily, Hyacinth, and Daisy, and even Violet and Fern. It would be just as appropriate to name boys Onion, Cauliflower, or Carrot. We find families named Stone and Wood; why not Cloth and Paper? I have heard of Mr. Deer and Mr. Hunter. In South High we have Miss Fish and Mr. Fisher. Girls are called Ruby, Pearl, and sometimes Garnet; but never Topaz or Sapphire. I know' girls named Olive and Hazel; they could be called Cucumber or Hickory, just as well. Probably if all parents had as many children as the old woman who lived in a shoe, instead of numbering them as she did, they would give them names as strange as some of these. Agnes Tollefson. — o — Jfacultp JHembers; Up in B room you will find him:— I have heard them tell How the Juniors come to order, When they hear his bell; And the law is well expounded, Plus and minus find their own,— None but (lungers are confounded In this very temperate zone.

Mrs. Bucf(nam, Mrs. Buc nam, When our lime shall come to go From these halls and seats of learning Where the English is just so; Well thy precepts we'll remember, And thy wealth of learned lore,— All we've learned since last September: Quoth the raven, 4Nevermore.'

How old is Hilgendorf, you ask? Ah, that I cannot tell, But he seems to have chummed with the Pharaohs, And with Julius Caesar as well; And I think when Sir Walter Raleigh Helped Elizabeth over the puddle. Our Hilgendorf superintended the job Or I'm sure 'twould have been just a muddle. If you're not in the pitchy dark. You'll see that our Fish is a shark; She makes our Latin As smooth as satin.

AFTER a lecture on the hieratic form of writing, the following bit of gossip appeared on a history paper: “Egyptians wrote in higher attic.’’ n Sncibent of tfje J ortij UStoobs a (Cruf torp The winter was bitterly cold. Up in the snowclad wilderness of frozen bog and tundra, the wild folk were preying upon one another for their very lives. Upweekis, the lynx, the stealthy, soft-footed prowler, was growing mad with hunger. Lobo, the gaunt, grey timber wolf, had banded together with his brothers and was hunting and killing everything he could possibly catch. The wild deer had “yarded up“ for the winter, but were weakened by starvation, so when a pack of wolves discovered them, the deer were able to put up only a poor defense. The muskrat had been frozen out of his hutch of moss and reeds, and had taken refuge in his hole in the banks of the lakes. Far up in this wilderness, far from the haunts of men, where the Red Gods still rule, an unnamed creek flows into the Little Jump River. Here was a small clearing of perhaps an acre’s extent. In the midst of this clearing, a short distance back from the creek, stood a hunter’s cabin. It was roughly built of logs and had a birch-bark roof. At one side lay a large pile of wood, nearby was a crosscut saw and a double-bitted axe. A well-worn path led back to the spring on the hill behind the cabin. Others led off into the forest. All around were tracks of the woodfolk. On entering the rude doorway the first thing to claim your attention was the huge fireplace that occupied one corner, in which a fire was kept roaring night and day. The only window was of oiled parchment, so it took some time to make out what the rest of the room contained; a rough double bunk, filled with browse and heavy woolen blankets; a rough table; on the floor, large and small steel traps and sacks containing flour, beans, and corn-meal; on the wall, sides of bacon and a ham. coats and snowshoes, shotgun, and two Winchester rifles. The two men who lived here were trappers. One could tell at a mere glance that “Old Pete” was a man who had spent most of his days in the backwoods. His face and hands were tanned by much exposure to the wind and sun. His long gray beard and equally long hair, hung in matted masses down his back and chest. His blue eyes, undimmed by age. were still remarkably keen, and were capable of seeing objects invisible to the younger eyes. He was dressed in a thick flannel shirt, and heavy woolen trousers. He wore moosehide moccasins, and an old black felt hat. The other man was younger by two score years, and had light, curly hair and twinkling blue eyes. He was dressed like the older man, except that he wore a bright beaded belt around his waist. These two men were such as hewed and fought their way through the wilderness and prepared the way for civilization. — 4G — One afternoon, Erik, the younger of the two, took his rifle and went out to look for some fresh venison. Altho it was bitterly cold, not a breath of air was stirring, and a deep and deathly silence reigned. Erik crossed the stream, and hunted far up the valley. Late in the afternoon when he tried to climb over two crossed logs, his snowshoes caught, and he fell. In falling he sprained his ankle; but what was worse, his rifle flew out of his hand and was lost in the deep snow. He was far from home; he could not walk, and was without protection. Darkness was fast falling; he could only lie and wait for help. Far off, a piercing howl startled all living creatures. This was answered by another, and then another, each one nearer to where the young man lay. Finally, he could discern the dusky forms of the timber wolves in the gathering darkness. They continued to whine and howl their blood-cry for some time; and finally fell upon Erik, who defended himself as best he could with his knife. But their superior numbers overcame him, and one battle-scarred old wolf soon reached his throat. Then darkness fell and with it came the snow. Just after it became dark “Old Pete” put on his mackinaw and snowshoes. took his rifle, and went out into the snow to look for his partner. He had not gone far before a low moan drifted thru the falling snow down the valley. It was subdued and far off, but “Pete” knew what it meant, and with a heavy sigh, turned back. Gradually it swelled in volume, until the whole forest was one tremendous roar. It shook the stillness out of the storm, and transformed it into a howling blizzard. All night long, it shrieked and howled thru the woods; all night long “Pete” waited for his partner. But in vain. The wind continued undiminished for two days and three nights and then ceased as suddenly as it had begun. Then “Pete” knew that he must wait for spring to tell the tale of the lost man. When spring came he found all that was left of him. far up the valley beside two crossed logs. Nearby was his knife, and a little farther on lay his rifle. The wolves had been so starved that they had even eaten his moccasins and the gut weaving of his snowshoes. In silence “Pete” gathered up the remains of his friend, and carried them home; in silence he buried him by the stream which laughs on its way thru the lonely places; and in silence “Pete” sorrowed over his partner who had traveled the Trail over the Big Divide into the Great Beyond.

It is furnished in white, blue, and tan. and has five compartments; the most important of which are the dining room, kitchen, and office. Many new concoctions have originated in the deepest recesses of the cabinet; and it is also supplied with sufficient spice to make things “hot,” when dishes do not come up to the standard.

This has been established for the purpose of teaching young women to cope with the great problem of the day—viz., the high cost of living. The young women however do not enjoy a monopoly of this department. The young men have shown a disposition to take advantage of this most unusual opportunity to insure a harmonious existence in the years to come. These ambitious gentlemen will never be dependent upon feminine assistance, which is sometimes lacking at critical moments. At first thought, one does not realize the great moral benefit derived from so practical a subject. But consider, how can any man retain a pleasing disposition, when he is confronted by a minus quantity of buttons and patches? The young women have been busy with a very different sort of patch from that with which the young men have struggled; and succeeded in getting press notices, in which their work was referred to as aprons. From the size of these so-called aprons, one would arrive at the conclusion that the young women were striving nobly to solve the afore-mentioned problem. These facts afford ample proof of the practicality, desirability, and popu-larity of the sewing department. MARGARET JONES. —SO — A Letter from Paris, Direct to the Sewing Department 46 Rue a la Mode, Paris, France. Chere Mademoiselle Jensen:— We Americans are deeply interested in Paris gowns, for we can always catch from them an idea to apply to our own native simplicity. The fashions for 1914 are tout a fait different from those of the present date. Par exemple, a tres charmant costume, and one well suited to stout women, is a full plaited skirt of green and tan check, trimmed with couleur de rose, worn with a shirred waist of black and white stripe cut on bias. As a coup de grace, a wide girdle of Persian ribbon may be worn. Slender women will wear stripes. Their skirts are to be slit up at either side to the extent of five or six inches (those twenty-two-inch affairs which were apparently designed to keep women from running away) ; waists of red and yellow one-inch stripe are made exclusively for slender women. A very narrow belt should be worn, as it takes from the height and adds to the embonpoint. Neckwear a la mode will be a high collar protruding behind the ears and finished by a neat four-inch ruching. Large tissue paper balls will be used extensively for trimming, a large bunch being worn in the hair, at the waist line, and on the chapeau. Sans doute, these fashion hints will surprise you. Their chief purpose is to do away with the resemblance to the figure eighteen now presented by a short, stout woman accompanied by a tall, slender man. Votre amie, ______ . S. B.

In the center are the declamatory contestants in Norse, for the Sigvald Quale Silver Medal—Agnes Tollefson, Florence Knutson. Gertrude Jacobsen. Norse and her sister language, Swedish, are the youngest of the modern languages to enter our high schools. Still in their earliest youth, they are fast growing up and holding their own with their big cousins, German and French, whose traditional domain they have dared to enter and claim partly as their own. In September, 1910, forty intrepid vikings made their advent at South High. Since then their numbers have increased until the Norse Department now numbers 131. The introduction of Norse into South High marks the beginning of a widespread movement, extending from ocean to ocean, from the Gulf to Canada. Today forty high schools thruout the country offer the Scandinavian languages in their curriculum. To South High belongs undisputed the initiative and the leadership. ABOUT three years ago, the study of Swedish was introduced at South High. At first some doubts were entertained as to the advisability of such a course; but these have long since been dispelled. Today there are 133 studying Swedish, as against 22 who registered in the first class. Another encouraging feature is that several of the students are not of Scandinavian parentage, but are taking the subject because they feel a knowledge of it will help them in numerous ways, especially if they remain in the Northwest. If this is true of those whose veins do not contain Swedish blood, why should not all descendants of the sturdy vikings make it a point to become proficient in their language, literature and history? 11). % .

Its chief mission in life is to convert dry seniors into gushing springs of brilliance. It is also the Lethe of the second floor, on whose banks thirsty students hover, forgetful of the adjacent fount of learning. This makes it one of the most popular spots for ardent adventurers. The watertank is capable of doing just so much work; it then resorts to tipping. Sometimes not even tips are able to cajole it. At such periods sounds of the jungle issue from its vicinity, and the janitor is then the only creature able to cope with its whims. The watertank is one of the patriarchs of the school.

Min' I'hai i M Romance It was a beautiful summer morning in August, when a young couple emerged from a train into the progressive town of Hudson, Wisconsin. The attention of the people waiting at the station was attracted to a black-haired chap and his companion, a petite, blond maiden, who sprang lightly onto the platform. Gayly they tripped toward the center of the town, hailed a passerby, and sweetly inquired where the courthouse was. Walking rapidly they soon reached the coveted place, and boldly entered the county clerk’s office. Here they were asked by a well-dressed man, with a twinkle in his eye, what they wished. Ostentatiously the youth replied, looking at the blushing girl beside him, “We want to get a marriage license, don’t we, dear?’’ Having obtained the treasured parchment without the least difficulty (except the paying of $2.00), they were directed to a reverend gentleman, who dwelt in a large green stucco-finished house on the corner of Thomas Avenue and Tenth Street, and joyfully went on their way. The minister opened the door, with a book in his hand, and after a little formal explanation, the ceremony began. It proceeded satisfactorily to the point where the male applicant should produce the ring; but when the words. “With this ring I thee wed,” were reached, no movement was made, except the sudden dropping of the youth’s jaw. There was a pause—a frightened, lost look appeared upon the faces of the two lovers; finally the youth blurted forth, “I—I—I forgot the ring.” Here indeed was a problem! The nearest jewelry store was a mile and a half away. Immediately a unique plan was thought of. It was agreed that the pious man was to give the bewildered youth his own ring, and after it had been placed upon the waiting finger, it was to be returned at the end of the ceremony. This was found to be an excellent plan, and without further annoyance the rites were finished, and the pair tranquilly left the house, arm in arm, their faces radiant with joy, and—and they lived happily ever afterward. Cfje Spectator The SPECTATOR is a new magazine edited by some of the prominent men of our city. It is published in order to join the five high schools of Minneapolis in a common interest.

We believe that the students of our school should readily lend their support to so worthy an undertaking. 57 — £lje iflorning lifter I HE telephone bell rang imperatively, demanding immediate attention.

Last spring, however, a school tournament was arranged, and after a lively struggle Wilford Widen was proclaimed champion. He was hard pressed for honors by Farrand Stranahan, Rudolph Logefeil, and Alfred Colie. On Friday and Saturday, June 7th and 8th, the State Interscholastic Tournament was held on the courts of the Minneapolis Tennis Club. High schools from all over the state were represented by their best racquet wielders. South’s players were Rudolph Logefeil, Farrand Stranahan. and Wilford Widen. Frank Gilman of St. Paul Central won the championship and, with it, a silver cup. Robert Balch of Minneapolis Central was runner up.

Eklund Clancy Warner £ n tlje ( rtbtron The football season of 1912, as far as weather was concerned, was ideal; the support given to the team was all that could be asked, and good crowds filled the bleachers at every game; but in other respects there was much to be desired. First, as to schedule, with three hard games bunched at the beginning of the season starting with Central on Oct. 12, overtraining was almost inevitable, and North beat us in our third game. The team cannot be given too much credit for the way they stood up under the strain of such a schedule. Second, the team was handicapped thruout the season by lack of material. We not only had no second team, but at times we did not have enough able-bodied men for a first team. To put it mildly, it was very discouraging to the coach to find, on arrival at the field, that he would have to fill in himself, in order to have enough men to run signals. But in spite of all these difficulties the boys worked hard and succeeded in bringing much glory to the school and to themselves. Not being able to bring the whole pennant home, they did the next best thing and brought half of it, leaving half to North. South was more than anxious to play off the tie, but for various reasons this was not allowed. The games played were as follows: Oct. 12—South 7, Central 0 Oct. 25—South 3, North 7 Oct. 19—South 10, East 0 Nov. 15—South 23, West 7 — oi — The twelve men who won the “S are: Anderson, Baird, Bissonnett, Byers, Clancy, Crowley.

HEAP BIG INJUNS A Word from the Captain The high school is always under severe strain of criticism from the student body; but when the time comes for each individual to do his duty in supporting an athletic team, the players receive little encouragement. To my successor, Mr. Anderson, I sincerely hope that greater enthusiasm will be shown. The school has as good facilities as any in the Northwest and many thanks are due to Arthur Low for spending his afternoons with us; but we were handicapped by not having a second team to oppose the regulars. Eliminating all disabilities and discouragement, the team ranked first with North in the championship race, and with good students’ support, the season of 1913 looks forward to a future of success.

South has had one of the best teams known to any high school in the state. Three out of these four years the championship banner has been ours. At the beginning of the season of 1912 prospects were very bright: a large number of players turned out; there was enough material for two good teams; and the men were in the best condition possible. The first three games were easily taken; but after the third game, the barring of Captain Low seemed to dishearten the players; the team did not bring home the customary victories, and the season ended with South in second place instead of first. In spite of the fact that South did not win the championship this year, it will surely turn out men next year that will defeat every opposing team. — 05 — {Track flKHorfe The Track Team of South High School for the spring of 1912 was fully up to the standard of recent years. That is to say, it was a one-man team. James Ballentine had been chosen captain, and, in the face of many difficulties, undertook to develop a track team out of practically new and raw material. It was thru no fault of his that better success did not crown his efforts. South High took part in a number of meets during the season, and when the points were counted up, it was seen that Old South was singularly well represented—or, shall we say, well represented singularly. Jimmy, it seemed, had made “running the quarter mile” a science, capturing in this event first place and a gold watch at the University invitation meet, first place at the South-Central duo meet, first place at the high school meet, first place at Shattuck, and last but not least, going down to Chicago at the invitation of Chicago University, and defeating representatives from high schools all over the United States. There were other lesser lights who went forth to battle in the modern lists for the honor of Old South High, namely, Gonnella, Humphrey, Dean, Clancy, Byers, Juster, Truman, Powell, and Matthews; and, altho they did not win any points, let alone prizes, still they did their best, which nevertheless amounts to a great deal. As to this year’s team, we make no predictions, but merely hope for the best. “Choppie” Dean has taken the initiative, and has arranged with Mr. Hawthorne to hold an interclass track meet in the gymnasium for the purpose of arousing interest in track work. We have lost the valuable services of Jim Ballentine thru graduation, but the rest of last year’s team has been left practically intact—which is some consolation. James Matthews has been chosen captain for 1913 and intends, at least, to place a larger number of competitors in the field than has heretofore been entered. I Jimmy Winning the Quarter — 00 — £pmnasttc (KUorfe Last year South was represented at the annual meet of the Northwestern Gymnastic Society for the first time. This meet is open to all gymnastic teams of the Northwest, and the honors usually go to the University of Minnesota. Our team, while small in numbers, was good in quality, and succeeded in getting sixth place. This was a much better showing than any of us expected, and promises exceedingly well for the future. In fact, we are out this year to beat the University, and a large squad is working hard in preparation for the meet in March. At a meeting of the members of last year’s team, Joe Gon-nella was elected captain for 1912-13. Here is a fitting place, I think, to mention an innovation which seems to me to be exceedingly desirable and important. It is customary among colleges and universities to award an athletic letter to members of the gymnastic team, and I think that some such provision should be made for the men representing South. I would suggest that the requirements for winning one of these letters be similar to the requirements for a track “S”; say that a man must win a medal, or that he must have an all-around average of 90' or over. Let the requirements be what they may, some provision should be made for these men. — 67 — P a g fe 111) a II SINCE the recent acquisition of the gymnasium, basketball has proved a popular winter sport at South High. Class teams of high caliber have been formed and the past two years have witnessed two exciting races for championship honors in this sport. The Juniors have, during both seasons, succeeded in developing teams capable of such work that they have twice grasped the winning place. The individual work of such men as Matthews, Curtin, and Gonnella, and the all-around excellent team work was the chief factor in bringing home the coveted honors. Altho for two successive years the Juniors have been winners, they have not been so without exerting their best efforts. For both years, all classes have had excellent teams, and the races have been close. This has served to arouse class spirit in athletics, and demonstrations of class enthusiasm have been in evidence at all games. This year basketball had a late start and the championship team can not yet be selected. The Senior team, composed of the former champion Juniors, however, is confident of again winning. It is to be hoped that basketball will soon become an interscholastic sport, productive of much school spirit. — 68 — Snbepenbent pasfeetball BASKETBALL in all its phases may be served as a most nutritious dish; it develops forethot, determination, and a quickness to grasp the situation. The girl playing basketball has no time to think of the style of her coiffure, the grace of her attitude, nor anything except the game itself. If she expects to be successful, she must dash into the game with body and soul, and put every ounce of her energy and skill into play. The natural result is, of course, improved health. Fatty loses weight, where Skinny gains; the slow plodder becomes full of life and vitality; the nervous, irritable girl gains steadiness and self-possession. The Independent Team has scored many points of this nature, as well as eclipsing every team in the school. The Independent Basketball Team consists of Helen Geelan, guard; Ethel O’Donoghue, guard; Mary Roberts, center; Mabel Olson, forward; Vahlborg Sund, forward; Dorothea Nelson, substitute. — 69 — CEDAR AVENUE • r---------------------------------------1 I ' I AVAILABLE PROPER TV I I ' 25i STREET ppoposro ms 4nLCE nao Indorsed by the Alumni Association and the Young Men's Political Alliance. Ultljletk Jftelb SINCE 1903 active alumni have been working energetically to acquire a permanent athletic field and playground for South High. To that end committees have toiled with varying success to interest the public thru the various civic bodies of the district. The committee appointed last year worked in co-operation with friendly aldermen to obtain a share of $80,000. The tract to be acquired abuts on 25J 2 Street for a length of 800 feet, having a frontage on Cedar and Hiawatha Avenues of 21 3 feet, and extends north from 23J 2 Street a distance of 530 feet. This area is to be enclosed with an artistic concrete wall; a stadium seating 2,000 people is to be erected, together with a rest-house for the visiting and home teams. A gridiron for football, surrounded by a quarter-mile running track, a hundred-yard straightaway dash, an independent baseball diamond, hockey field, tennis courts, etc., will find ample room in this area. It is a far cry from the open sand lots at “Normanna Field,” used in the past, to a modern, up-to-date athletic field giving every advantage toward training an entire school body. Pardon my reminiscing a bit, but memory carries me back to the days not far past, when the athletes at South High had no advantages for training. The common practice at that time was to dress at home for football and other practice, this being necessary as no gymnasium was available. Finally a barn was obtained in the vicinity and fitted up in a crude way for training quarters. That was a happy day for the squad, as now after school we could cross the street to the corner store, partake of a sumptuous meal consisting of buns and milk, and hie ourselves to practice without losing half the afternoon—result, a championship team. We have every reason to be proud of South High in athletics because, in spite of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, our school has triumphed upon many a field in all branches of sport, as the records testify. Now that a field as large as “NorthrupY’ is assured for the Orange and Black, authorized for playgrounds by the last legislature, with the result that the Special Playground Committee of the City Council turned over $14,500 to the Board of Education, recommending the purchase of the proposed site for a permanent athletic field and playground for South High, it behooves us to get together and boost for its completion with that same spirit that proves a terror to opposing teams and which makes us proud of our Alma Mater. To this end, I pledge my earnest co-operation and support together with that of my colleagues. Pres. Earnest Stover, 03, and Stanley Hansen, ’98. “AH for South High.” Svenic J. Bang. ’03. Chr.

By the time the pupil has reached his senior year, he may. as a rule, be classified as belonging to one of these organizations. Chief among them are the societies of Gayology, Loafology, Pluggology, and Deliberatology. The president of the Gayology Society of Fine Arts is Pearl Eggan, class doll and chief idol of the boys. The vice-president is her running mate, Gladys Huestis, who carries the excessive gaiety of the class. The Gayology Society is constantly besieged by applicants for membership. Watch them at recess, standing around the president, matching pennies to see who will be admitted. The president is a pretty good penny-matcher, too. The members of the Gayology Society are the live ones at class parties and dances. They are always there, and they let the rest know about it. In the Loafology Society, Frank Brink was easily chosen president and master loafer. When you hear some one shuffling along behind you, rest assured that it is Brink. He seldom approaches anyone; he lets them get close to him, and then he opens up on the work he has to do, and never gets done. Come around some day about the twelfth period, and seek out Miss Keatley’s room, in the fast approaching mists of eve, and lo! there is Brink sitting, wishing he had his geometry. If Brink had a little more go about him, he would soon reach the Brink of Prosperity. Perhaps that is why he loafs; he may be afraid that he will reach it too soon, fall over, and be consumed in the gassy vapors of Fame. Albin Sandberg stands out as the commander-in-chief of the Pluggology Society. He may have lots of work, and more work to do; but he always has time to do something on the side. He does it too! Standing knee-deep in the coils of his “Tiger” work, he directs the other school interests so dear to him. He is also the official staff photographer of the “ Tiger,” and many of the excellent pictures in the “Tiger” are due to his knowledge of the photographic art. Time and expense are of small importance to him when compared to the welfare of his school. In the Deliberatology Society we have no worthier member than our own sweet Willy Bissonnett. He is the most deliberate kid I ever met. He must always deliberate upon his recitations, have plenty of time in which to call a class meeting, and above all, not to be hurried in the sharpening of his pencil. Listen to him; ask him; watch him! His recitations must be long and well set; the meetings must not be called until the last five minutes of the fifteen-minute period, and his pencil must be sharpened to a gradual point. These societies correspond, to a certain extent, to the classes of people we meet in later life, so we will know where to look for our old friends. Mauritz Pohlson. GTije Jfrtenb of tfje tubent “The Friend of the Student” invites letters from pupils who think that school buildings are not used enough, because students and teachers are not kept there from sunrise until sunset; who think that an elevator ought to be installed in South High School; who wish that some method of liquefying Virgil and pouring it into the lunch room soup might be adopted; who would suggest that students be given a two weeks’ leave of absence fortnightly. In fact, any criticism or other helpful suggestions will be accepted. Letters to this department must be confined to reasonable length and must bear the writer’s name as an evidence of the genuineness of his idiocy. An Auditing Committee Needed. Question—Mr. Hilgcndorf, an ambitious young teacher, was seen in the hall the other day wearing a vermillion tic and a brand new overcoat. Strange to say, he did not feel ashamed of it and insisted that everybody should pass judgment upon it. But where did the coat come from? “Ay. there’s the rub!” Perhaps it was left him a an heirloom. But this is untenable, impossible. since we can tell by looking at him that he came from an insurgent family, and insurgents never conserve anything. But where did he get the funds to buy it? No school teacher’s salary could purchase such a coat! Let’s see. Mr. “Hcinic sells football tickets, and also takes money in the lunch room, does he not? I would suggest that we have an auditing committee. This is a vital question. How can Mr. Hilgcndorf afford a new overcoat? We demand our rights! Would like to have you answer thru The Friend of the Student.”—Kelly Cyrus Olsen. P. S. Since writing the above, police officer C. A. Burrier was seen coming from lllstrup’s store. What does it mean? Answer—An auditing committee has been appointed by us to investigate the above. The results will be published later. The Truth about the Third Avenue Bridge. Question—Please state, in your valuable column. The Friend of the Student.” the argument against the Third Ave. bridge. —An Inquisitive Alumnus. Answer—It is the humble opinion of the Editor that the proposed Third Ave. bridge should be installed at the intersection of the little river called Mississippi and famou Sixth Ave. The safety and welfare of mankind, the development of our city, the prosperity of commerce, and the advancement of civilization demand that even it the bridge is built at Third Ave.. that it be torn down and transferred to Sixth. The Minneapolis Aeroplane Co., or the “Twin City More Rapid Transit Co., is planning their main atmospheric line over Third Ave. Hence if a machine is ever derailed, or the engine stops, think of the enormous loss of life if one of these artificial eagles pounced on 'Uch a mob of mankind as this bridge is bound to hold! The time is coming when the Mississippi will he open to navigation, which of course means that ships will be constantly moving along the river. Now on Third Ave. arc the city’s largest clocks, namely those at the Courthouse and at the Milwaukee Station. Mariners on these river vessels will naturally look at these clocks. While they are striving to see the time their vessels will strike against the foundations of this enormous bridge and be shattered to pieces. On account of the great circulation of the 1913 “Tiger”, many students, living on Sixth Ave., will clamor for admission to the school, and. of course, will pack the bridge to its full capacity both morning and afternoon. — 73 — Cfje $ebigree of a Jfiesfjman “Mamma, I don’t believe that they respect my pedigree at school at all.” I had just come home from my first day at high school, and was reporting events to my mother. She looked at me in shocked amazement, and said, “Explain, child.” Well, I didn’t enjoy being called a child, when I was actually going to high school; but I went ahead and told her the following story: “I went to school this morning, and as I didn’t know what to do, I asked a boy, who looked as if he might be a venerable senior, what I ought to do. “I said (thinking my pedigree might have some influence), “Say, my mother’s father-in-law’s maiden aunt was the nineteenth cousin of General Grant, and I would like to know where the freshmen meet today.’ “ ‘Oh, yes,’ he said, apparently understanding. ‘Right up on the third floor, in X room.’ I accordingly trotted up many long flights of stairs to the third floor, but I looked in vain for X room, so I decided to ask another venerable senior, for I had great respect for these lofty personages. “Just then I saw a studious one coming in my direction, so I boldly addressed him: — 74 — “ ‘Say, my mother’s father-in-law’s maiden aunt was the nineteenth cousin of General Grant, and I would like to know where X room is. “ ‘X room is in the basement,’ he answered shortly. “I was rather taken aback, but I went down to the basement, and there I found X room. But there was no one there, so I decided that I must have been fooled, and I went upstairs again, and asked a kindly-looking old lady where to go. I didn’t tell her my pedigree, as it didn’t seem to excite much respect, but I finally found my way to the auditorium, where I was told what to do. “When I found my room principal I went right up to her, and told her all about it. She—well, yes—she actually laughed and I never will tell my pedigree to any one again.’’ Bonnibel Ross. Teacher: “Give an example of a common sentence.” Student: “I’m not prepared.’’ On Feb. 3rd the greenness of the freshmen was so apparent that many of the senior students actually started for home without their overcoats, thinking that the grass was growing. -—75 — iflirrors anb Tanttp “MlRRERS an vanity!

I was then free to go out at recess, to roam about during the vacant periods, to write on the wall, and to exercise my privileges. But now we are in the midst of a great crusade, testing whether these privileges, or any other privileges, can long endure. We have been censured by the relentless faculty; we have come to a crisis; we are in imminent danger of being hemmed in by restrictions. But, in a larger sense, we cannot resist, we cannot struggle, we cannot recapture this ground. The brave students, who struggled here for their convictions, attained a summit which we cannot hope to attain. They who read this will little note, nor long remember what I say here, but they can never forget what my predecessors did here. Therefore, it is for us, the present students, to proceed to the unfinished task remaining before us. Let us here highly resolve that our leaders have not fought in vain, that this cruel, unrelenting faculty shall not be forced, by us, to vacate; but let us hope that they will have a new birth of interest in their students, that these certain formalities shall be forever—of the students, by the students, and for the students—abolished from South High.

S. Fisher. betters from ®ur €lbers Dear Editor:— Thru you I am extending to the Seniors of South High a greeting that contains every good, sincere wish for success in your coming graduation into new spheres. I am vitally interested in South High, because it was there I passed four of my happiest years. Since graduating I probably have had as many delightful experiences as I ever hoped or dreamed of having. My profession has carried me to as northern a point as Edmonton in Canada; as far south as Key West, Florida; as far east as New York; and to the west as far as Los Angeles. In Canada I was impressed with the people’s reverence for the “Law,” in the South the studied laziness of the negroes attracted my attention; the West left me enthused with their enthusiasm for the “West”; the East left me the impression of their independence, supremacy, and dignity. I have had many thrilling experiences, such as missing a train and making my destination in an automobile run by a farm hand; being snow-bound in the Rockies for three days; and the company arriving in town with a crowded — S2 — house listening to the overture, and fifteen minutes after arrival appearing all gowned and ready to “go on,” the audience none the wiser. What little success I have had in my work lies in the fact that I am doing what I have always wanted to do. I love the work and am therefore happy in it. My advice, if I may be so bold and presumptuous as to offer advice to you who are about to choose your life’s work, is to make up your minds what you would like to do best and then strive toward that goal. Happiness will be yours, even if you never reach the goal. Trusting that I have had something of interest to tell you and assuring you of the sincerest wishes for success from the Class of 1905 to your class, 1 beg to remain. Respectfully yours, Macy WlLL. Superior, Wis. Dear Southsiders:— Of course, as anyone knows, the purpose of every well-regulated alumnus is to give advice—dignified, noble-hearted, post-mortem advice. But alas! Miss Editor, how can this particular poor exiled alumnus give advice when he doesn’t feel mighty, and grand, and dead, like an alumnus, at all? He confesses right here that he has no advice to give you, and never had. But “eschewing” confessions and introductions as the blue Webster book —you remember it. Miss Dorr—commands, since coming to Japan I’ve seen some exceedingly picturesque and interesting things. Of course I cannot tell you about them here, for I’m allowed only three hundred words. But I’ll just mention a few and you can fill in the details for yourselves. I attended the imperial funeral, and incidentally learned to wear a silk hat and frock coat. (Don’t you dare laugh, Mrs. Bucknam!) I’ve climbed snowcapped mountains, dangling over dizzy chasms on threadlike chains. (No, Miss Gale, not in the silk hat and frock coat.) I’ve peeked over the tops of my glasses and seen His Sacred Majesty the Emperor, when every other head was bowed. (Yes, I know such conduct is reprehensible. Miss Schureman!) I’ve stood on the summit of Mt. Hiye where all Japan— seemingly—mountain range on mountain range, lay unrolled before me like the biblical scroll—stood on the exact spot where a prime minister of Japan once stood, resolving then and there to eliminate his imperial master and play first fiddle himself. And he did it, too, I guess, if the legends can be trusted, which of course they can’t. Twice I have floated thru a boat tunnel two miles long, burrowed thru the mountainside, floated two miles in pitchy darkness, the only sound the suck and simper of the rushing water; and wished Miss Friedlander could have been along, it was all so much like the Styx. And (Mr. Jorgens) the other day I saw the local South High here trounce their opponents 10 to 0 without half trying. The other school had an impossible name in Japanese, but after “our” first score I had no difficulty — 83 — translating it into “Fast.” It was the English game: you know what that means. No one was hurt—that is, of the players; seven spectators went home on stretchers. They had strained themselves clapping. Since coming to Japan I have seen—but you wouldn’t believe me, and my three hundred words are more than used up anyway. My Minneapolitan housemate, Sinclair, who has just reviewed this for errors in spelling, tells me frankly that it is most disreputable. I shouldn’t send it, only, come to think of it, he TPas graduated from East. Nice fellow, too. Well— Good-bye and Merry Christmas! Yours for Old South, Kyoto, Japan, December 17, 1912. Harry COLLINS, January ’08. pepper Have you pep? Pep is an abbreviation for pepper. Pepper is the fruit with the pungent taste. Pep is also enthusiasm, vim, vigor, force, impetus, snap, ginger, activity; in short, it is spice, it is life. Enthusiasm is behind all great movements. It made Eve bite the apple, it freed the Colonies, it invented the telegraph, the phonograph, the dictagraph, taximeter graft, and almost every other form of graft, including the ticket graft and the bowl of combina-' tion soup. If you’re interested in art, you are an enthusiast; if you’re an epicure, you’re a connoisseur, or have the gout; if you believe in woman’s rights, you are a suffragette; if you like baseball, you’re a fanatic; if you like comic opera, you’re a lowbrow: BUT if you’re a booster for the school, interested in your class, working with all that’s in you for your school, then, in good old Anglo-Slango, you have pep.

Is he the vast supply room from which comes the abundance of news every day? Does the editor of a Tiger work? No! He does not. The editor of a big paper simply hires men enough to get all the news in every department of his paper. I he assistant editors get the news. All he has to do is to read all of it, rearrange two-thirds of it, correct perhaps three-fourths of it, and send it to press in good order. Of course, sometimes he must rewrite half of it. But such work is insignificant. Anybody could do it. If an editor lived up to the idea that most people have of the amount of work he does, he would write a couple of jokes, smoke cigars, think up some more jokes, and then go home from sheer fatigue. In reality an editor cannot be fully appreciated. He is responsible for the publication and must deliver. He originates a wealth of clever jokes and witty episodes to give the mass of people recreation; but no one thinks of him during the time when he wants rest. Sometimes an editor writes an editorial—an easily accomplished task, in fact it should afford him all necessary recreation. All that is required is to get some topic—a live one—something that will interest the majority of his readers, and scribble away, tho he must have a little style to his scribbling, some dash and go. Of course he must not fill much space; people don't like a long-drawn-out spasm. If, in the editor’s aimless jottings, he suddenly wakes up and wishes to really discuss some vital question, such as suffrage, let him treat the subject earnestly, otherwise some female voter may rise in just wrath, and, while on the rampage, incidentally cause the circulation to decrease. Of a surety let him not take too decided a suffrage stand, because the female voter’s husband might, in his small way, also diminish the circulation. But such a situation is easily handled; just let the editor employ a little tact. It’s no work at all to easily strike the keynote of every question. So much for the editor of minor importance—’nuff said. Let us consider for an instant an important editor, the editor of our T iger. Suppose he should wish to discuss those five precious minutes which occur at precisely eight twenty-five every morning, the assignment of algebra lessons or the exactions of mechanical drawing, let him proceed cautiously, provoking not the wrath of his teacher’s majesty, neither incurring the sharp displeasure of the whole kingdom. As heretofore said, let the editor employ diplomacy, tact, and yet say something worth while, something definite and convincing. Wm. Bisson nett. — so— Hunt!) $our I STOOD in the doorway of A room.

A SOPH. An element is a chemically indivisible substance. Lillian Wingreene and Albin Sandberg come in this class. La Belle Abraham — SO The Salmagundi Club, a society organized in the English literature classes of South High School, true to its name, gives programs which certainly are a salad. Each member is supposed to contribute his share, and the result is the desired “mixed pickle.” The program usually begins with the school song or something equally spicy, after which an eminent member of the class delivers an eloquent address, giving us valuable and well-salted advice. Gifted members deliver lectures on anything, from fashions to philosophy, from athletics to Spenserian sonnets. Of course, one of the best pickles is the set of jokes, sometimes simply quotations from the recitations of pupils, for humor may often be found in the words of bluffers (and we have some of that kind of pickles also). Not only does the Salmagundi give programs, but it also edits magazines, just as worthy of the name, containing matter both literary and unliterary. In them are put articles on society and athletics, on music and philosophy, and even short stories. The interest is kept up by the competition for the Salmagundi banners of orange and black, awarded to the classes having the best programs, the best magazine, or the best chairman (perhaps chairwoman). The winning class, in turn, bequeathes the banner to one of its members, who takes it home to hang on the wall of his room. Ah! happy is he who views the day when he. as an honored Salmagundi member, can carry home a banner, voted him by his classmates! Such is the Salmagundi Club, and may its good works continue; may it ever flourish, endowing its members with courage to face the public, and giving them confidence in their own ability. ELIZABETH CARLSON. — 90 — {Technical Club The TECHNICAL Club was late in organizing this year, but more than the usual interest has been shown. The membership is made up largely from the Junior and Senior classes, tho other boy students are eligible. The purpose of the club is to arouse a greater degree of interest in technical and scientific things, and to enable the students to become more familiar with ordinary manufacturing processes. It is planned to erect an aerial on the school building as soon as warm weather comes, in order to study the principles of wireless telegraphy. Also a number of trips to manufacturing plants in the twin cities are in view for the spring months. President—fall term, Mauritz Pohlson; spring term, Lewis Gorgen. Vice-President, C.

Nor had they the privilege of considering their school days the pleasantest ones in life. However, after much effort on the part of principals, teachers and parents, these secret societies were apparently severed from school life, leaving the class divided without class spirit. The first to realize and mend the matter was the, not elaborately but most suitably named, Bean Club. Such congeniality and comradeship was acquired that a similar plan was enacted by the Senior girls of the January 1913 class. It was a decided success, an organization that will tend to hold the class together for social as well as educational purposes, and set the standard of companionship for the Senior girls.

It was formed to stimulate class feeling and loyalty to our Alma Mater, for social benefit and service. It is intended that this club shall continue among the Senior girls in future classes, and that each club, before its members graduate, initiate the coming B Senior girls. With the help of Mrs. Bucknam and Miss Keatley the results of this term have been gratifying. One of the speakers whom the members had the pleasure of hearing was Dr. Hardin Craig, professor of English in the University of Minnesota. The club has also given a number of parties which have been enjoyable and have helped to promote good fellowship. The Two Pre� ident� Officers for Fall Term President, Stasia Barber.

The club had the best average attendance of any high school in the city. There is a paid membership of 42 boys with an average attendance of 35. Speeches by such men as Douglas Fiske, President of the Civic and Commerce Association, James Peterson, Judge Waite, Prof. Swenson of the University of Minnesota, and Mr. Arthur M. Cotton, National Secretary of high school clubs, cannot but inspire the boys to better and cleaner living. President Vincent of the University has already consented to speak to us at our final banquet of the year, which will be held the latter part of April. We earnestly hope that the South High School Bean Club will continue to lead all the other high schools in those things for which it stands—good fellowship, clean sports, honest living and high ideals.

This spirit, shown in debate and athletics, determines largely what sort of orchestra we shall have from year to year. Just now our orchestra is one of the best in the city, but good musicians are lost at each graduation. The incoming freshmen must fill the vacancies. If there is a good player on any instrument who is not coming out to regular rehearsals, he is not doing his duty. The school is yours, students. Her organizations are yours to kill or build up as you please. Get behind the orchestra and push. The present organization was started by Miss Gale over two years ago. In September, 1911, Mr. Wilson undertook the leadership. During the years 1912-13 the number has increased to 30, and a second orchestra has been organized to help prepare musicians for the first. Freshmen in either the Arts or General course may receive credit for good work. Two new instruments have been procured within a year; one, the bass drum, was given by the Norwegian Society. The function of the orchestra is not to render sweet music to listeners, but mainly to give the members training in playing together, and to acquaint them with good music. — 05 — (girls’ (glee Clul) The Girls’ Glee Club is an organization in South High which is not very well known. The members are selected by Mr. Giddings, the music supervisor of the Minneapolis public schools. It is necessary that only true voices be selected for such an organization, and in order that this may be accomplished, Mr. Gidding tests the voice of each candidate. This is a terrible ordeal, but those who are chosen are well paid for their efforts by having an opportunity to become very closely acquainted with Miss Stringham, the director. Even if the school, as a whole, does not give the Glee Club much credit for their efforts. Miss Stringham’s approval fully compensates its members. Thursday is the official day for the meetings of the club, but often it is the case that extra meetings have been called in order that special songs might be learned. At each meeting no less than an hour is spent in hard work. The members of the club for the fall term of 1912 are as follows:— First Sopranos: Mabel Bronvall, Ruby Johnson, Elizabeth Lagaard, Margaret Whitley, Hattie Wing (Secretary). SECOND Sopranos: Nettie Johnson, Olivia Roberts, Agnes Tollefson, Gullah Berg. FIRST Altos: Olga Berg (President), Elsie Doeltz (Librarian), Edna Heft, Jane Wennerholm, Selma Juvik. SECOND Altos: Lucile Armstrong, Alpha Gronwall, Astrid Lagaard, Marie Nilson. — 06 — Pops’ I e e (Club The CLUB, up to the second semester, was made up of the following members:— FIRST Tenors: Paul Colburn, Walter Cool, Oswald Saterlie, Daniel Sullivan. SECOND Tenors: Emun Christensen, William Peterson, C. Irving Pohl-son, Carl Sjogren. First Basses: Arthur Carlson, William Bissonnett, Arvid Eklund, Arthur Swanson, Clayton Swanson. SECOND Basses: Reuben Hanson, Oscar Johnson, Arthur Nordstrom, Ove Preus, John Rains. These boys have attended weekly rehearsals regularly; and by intelligent practice have now arrived at a stage where creditable performances can be given. No inducements to join were offered and the boys came solely because they liked to sing. This condition will, fortunately, be remedied in the near future and every Glee Club member will be given credit for the work he does in the club. This will enable many good voices that could not join before to do so now, and thus guarantee a club which will be, in every sense of the word, a credit to South High. — 07 — A Clje debates of tfje §?ear QUESTION: Resolved, That all railroads doing an interstate business should be owned and operated by the Federal Government.

The near-jokes only the initiated few are able to distinguish as possessing any real merit. To this class belong those of the mother-in-law, the old maid, and the proud father of a young son. There are other kinds of jokes that really could be classified, with due explanation, as being of these two great classes. The buried joke, or the joke that deserves to be buried, having served its purpose in life long and diligently. Need we say in which category the wit of the English is placed? Strange as it may seem, the thot of English wit brings up the thot of the Irishman and his irresistible and unmistakable love of mirth. In a class by itself comes the practical joke. This is a joke to the joker only; or to those standing on the side lines. The victim, however, is not expected to appreciate it to any great extent. Of course a great deal depends upon the character of the joke and of the person upon whom it is played; and quite a little upon the circumstances, and the time and place of the playing. The fat man, one hardly knows just where he and his jokes belong. They might well be said to belong to all the classes. Nothing is quite so funny as to see a fat man fall on the ice. At the beach he and the remarkably slender lady create quite a little amusement. Laughter is contagious, and to watch a jolly fat man laugh causes a sort of spontaneous combustion from others, whether the cause be joke or near-joke. Here’s to our fat readers!

St. Peter bade me enter and told me to go over to a large room, get a box of chalk, and start to write all my sins on the rungs of a ladder placed against a wall. I learned that it was a rule that any person entering had to begin at the bottom of a ladder, write his sins, one on top of the other, and keep on climbing up the ladder.
