The Hitting, dodging runner speeding down the field like-a laurel crowned victor of old, was the cynosure of all eyes. Me was the he.ro. 'I'he spectators didn’t notice who made the opening. Seemingly, they didn’t care. The petty details, the grinding machinery of the play were lost in the mass; but—there were earnest, silent warriors in the line who made it possible for the victor to succeed. W hat of them? Scarcely a day goes by in the work-a-day world, but men and women of splendid qualities, hidden in the ranks, suffer nobly, do heroic service, that some individual especially conspicuous on the field of action, may bring victory to a cause or realize an ideal. My appeal to you is, not to forget these men and women. Sometimes they are parents, sometimes brothers or sisters who sacrifice themselves to educate a talented member of the home circle. I am glad that you have dedicated this book to one in the rank and file of the teaching profession who has rendered service so large it can never be repaid. Your discernment leads me to believe that you will always judge wisely and do justice to the individuals who bear the brunt of battle. JOSEPH JORGE XS.

I Page Nlne.J Within the last five years South has ever been in the lead. Her warriors have battled their way to three baseball, one football championship, and a tie for another. Last year we were tied for debating honors, while this year, we won the championship. We have a beautiful new auditorium, seating two thousand people; a new gymnasium and lunchroom. We also have a new manual training and commercial department. Besides this we now have an athletic field larger than Northrop field. There will be a gridiron. a baseball diamond, a running track, tennis courts, and a hockey rink, all enclosed by a concrete wall, and a stadium with a capacity of twenty-five hundred people. We have also purchased a beautiful new grand piano and a victrola with a cabinet full of records. We have good reason to be proud of our institution, to love, honor, and ever strive to promote its glory and good name. The same old song which a few years ago was sung to a pathetic wailing tune and since then has been almost forgotten, is again becoming popular at South High. Five years ago or more, the singing of that song brought to South Nigh, the addition of new buildings. For a very short period after this, we had enough room; but now we are more crowded than ever. Xow there are five or six teachers that have no fixed rooms. They must go from one room to another, wherever there h:ppens to be no other class. Other teachers have been given space in the main halls, in which to set up forty or fifty folding chairs in order that they may have a place in which to hear their classes. Senior drawing is being taught in the washroom oft from the machine shop, and the Freshmen get their drawing lessons in the lunchroom. It is evident that the song must continue, and in a more pleading tune than ever, therefore let every South High student join in the chorus. [Page Ton.] [l aj;c Eleven.!

My charge is that Donaghue developed his ability in mastering the Swedish pronunciation by chewing snuff. To prove my case: Police tap for March 17. 1913, shows Donaghue vs. nderson, arrested on charge of disorderly conduct. The following facts were brought out: Donaghue. on the way to school on the morning of March 17. met said Anderson wearing a monstrous green ribbon. This roused the Celtic nature of Donaghue. who said: “What right have you to wear green on St. Patrick's day?” Anderson retorted: “I have just as much right to wear green as you have to chew snuff.” I have an affidavit from Ole Anderson and Doc Connors. Chief of Police, as to the truth of above. Furthermore—There is still an account open: Jan. 2. 1905. at Jack Larson’s store, by Alfred Donaghue, for five boxes of snuff, unpaid to date. Furthermore—The night of Jan. 6, 1914. Donaghue was heard to say in his sleep. Snuff, that’s what I like.” Mr. Donaghue and I are fast friends, and it grieves me greatly, that whenever he sees me coming he runs out and brings in the door Tnat with the word “Welcome” on it. 1 don’t know whether he fears I’ll steal it. or that 1 might think myself invited. • I hereby lay my case before the great South High Tribunal, with hope of a verdict in favor of the defendant. LEO MAC HALE. To the Students of South High: I wish to take this occasion of removing the stigma recently placed upon me by my erstwhile friend. Leo MacHale, by explaining the situation frankly and impartially. Once we were as inseparable as our overworked countrymen. Pat and Mike of anecdotal fame: but now I must admit that, as soon as my financial condition can be represented by a positive number. I will sue him for libel, and he shall rue the day that he made his false accusations. You all remember, gentlemen, that day in the auditorium, when, after a whole night spent brooding over Webster's unabridged, he threw open his number 13 mouth and made his inhuman attack upon my previously immaculate reputation. However, friends. I have, with the help of William Burns, the famous detective, collected a mass of evidence bv which I am assured that at the coming trial we shall be able to prove—first, that I have never come near enough to snuff even to smell it; second, that I have never used very much of it anyway: and third, that there is nothing wrong about my using snuff, for it was prescribed for me by my family physician. Hoping that this has cleared me of the calumny heaped upon me. 1 remain. Respectfully yours.

These inconveniences have a tendency to disturb the peaceful and tranquil relations between the student and his books, and are designed by clever pedagogues for the purpose of increasing the speed of the absorption of erudition by their proteges. The principal inconveniences which will be discussed herein are the recitation, the marks and the test. There are two kinds of recitation- -oral and silent. The silent recitation is the outcome of a total abstinence from scholarly pursuits until the 15-minute period, when activities are begun at terrific speed. This style of recitation is a source of embarrassment to its victim and of entertainment to the victim’s classmates. It generally consists of a series of painful meditations, interrupted at times by sundry interjections, such as “and” and “but.” with the accent of the d” and “t. respectively, not to mention numerous indistinguishable guttural remarks. This vocal accompaniment may be needed to accelerate the profound meditation which is necessary at such critical moments, or perchance it may savor of a weak attempt to “put over” a bluff. The consequences of recitations are called marks. They consist of small numerals which are preserved in an occult book until the end of the month, when they are condensed to one-tenth of their original volume and appear in the form of report cards. Marks may be obtained in four different styles. They are supposed to indicate the extent and depth of the student’s researches. but they more frequently indicate a general conspiracy against him. Next to the report card, in its adaptability for giving unwelcome surprises. comes the test. The test is a process whereby a few data concerning the student’s unfamiliarity with a subject may be ascertained and preserved for future reference. Tests are curious affairs. The student generally puts down a few statements, and after gloating over them for thirty-five minutes, spends the last five minutes engaging in a lively pen-pushing campaign. During these occasions students are frequently afflicted by serious lapses of memory: but recover as soon as the papers have been turned in. a fact which accounts for the elongated faces seen on test days. The test represents the highest form of pedagogical ingenuity for dispelling any unseemly levity in the pupil’s attitude toward his studies.

At school we are considered very quiet and proper. e alone know what we dare to do. The most exciting adventure was a senior with dark, curly hair and pleasant brown eyes. It one looked closely enough, one could see a faint freckle nine-tenths of the way up his nose, and a little to the right. Catherine admired his right profile ; Marie preferred a front view, and 1 was head-over-heels in love with the curl on the back f his neck. He never looked at us. Ye tried many times, but could never find out his name; so, for want of a better appellation, we called him ()ur Mutual Friend.” Every day we discussed his charms. W e decided that we must do something to make him notice us. It was a hard matter, but we finally agreed to serenade him. W e met at my home and practised three-part songs, duets, solos, and even borrowed my little sister's mouth-organ to help us out. The happy night arrived. It was dark and hard to find the way, for we thought it would seem more romantic to go down the alley. Then an awful question arose; we did not know which was his room. W e could not see any lights at all. After an argument we concluded that it must be the room over the kitchen, for that is where one generally puts boys. Softly our music began, and gradually grew louder, till it seemed as if the whole neighborhood must wake up. We listened for some response, hut he evidently wanted more music, so we sang again. We compared his eyes with the stars, his cheeks with roses, and used other beautiful figures. Hark'. A noise above us? Surely the reward was coming at last. There was a moment of silence, and then. MMeo v-o v. meow-ow-ow. We had mistaken a high-board fence for the home of our beloved. CAROL WEUU.

Many students learn more from bluffing than from the whole curriculum. After studying this phase of high school life for sev-__ eral years. I have come to the conclusion that bluffing should not be looked upon or censured, but should be encouraged. I realize that in making this assertion, I am placing myself in a class with I)r. Osier. Charles Darwin. James J. Hill, and other exponents of new discoveries and philosophies, and that I draw upon myself the wrath of every bespectacled pedagogue in the United States; but, in the vernacular of the street-urchin. N a 3 vi I should worry; for. Truth will prevail. I .luffing gives the student a knowledge of human nature. In order to be a successful bluffer, one must study the weaknesses, hobbies and habits of one’s teachers, so that in making a recitation one can speedily sidetrack the teacher’s thoughts and make him or her meander into an extemporaneous and time-destroying lecture on morals, manners, or politics. Now. all this observation and contemplation of beings who are on a high scale of intelligence. is bound to make the bluffer an expert in character analysis. And what is a better aid to success than a knowledge of human character? Bluffing gives the student self-confidence. His success in gaining one credit after another without much study increases this virtue at an alarming rate; and the size of his top story seems to keep pace with it. One of the rules governing the phenomenon is: The self-confidence of a bluffer is inversely proportional to the square of his mental ability. Self-confidence is a wonderful thing. Lacking everything else, with that one possession a man Can do wonders. Recall what Emerson says of it. He used up a mass of perfectly good paper simply to expatiate upon this subject. Bluffing makes a student wide-awake and alert. He must always be ready to give an excuse when called upon to recite, and an excuse which will appeal to the credulity of the teacher. This is no simple matter and calls for a ready wit and a level head. Continual practice in this, at a time when the character is in the mould, is sure to make a resourceful man. Bluffing gives the student what is practically a business education. In his daily struggle to gain much credit for little work he is but training himself in the strategy, acuteness and far-sightedness which are of necessity coupled with business success. He is learning to apply to practice that sapient business axiom. “Out of every transaction, get something for nothing.” There is little doubt in mv mind that the princes of monopoly and the kings of finance of thirty years hence will be drawn from among the bluffers of today.

The intonation of her voice was so low and vibrant with the soft idiom of the south that one could not possibly make a mistake. Her eyes, the deepest, unfathomable gray-blue. shaded by long, thick eyelashes, her full red lips finely arched, speaking more softly the pleasant accent of the southland. She placed a chair for me where the golden sunshine streamed through the long low windows. She gave me some nuts and a great red apple to munch, whilst she spoke with a heart that was full to overflowing of the conditions of her country. Not long was she speaking thus, when. I believe, she distinguished those horses' hoofs a mile away. First, the faint ring of steel on exposed stone, and then, a little later, the steady canter of the cavalry. Barbara knew whose army it was. Up the street came the rebel tread, With Stonewall Jackson marching ahead. Up the stairs she flew, leaving me standing bewildered. When the advance guard had reached the front of the house, she took Old Glory and opening the window, waved it above their heads. Immediately there was a tumult, and the men were ordered to fire. Bang! went the guns. The staff of the flag was broken, but Barbara, catching the piece of silk, continued to wave it, while she said with a heart filled with grief: Shoot, if you must, this old gray head, But spare your country’s flag. Your country’s flag, mused Stonewall Jackson, and then the nobler nature in him stirred to life at that woman’s deed and word. Turning to his men very abruptly, he gave the order, March on. It has been the children’s fireside favorite in many a home, this story of Barbara Fritchie’s bravery. W here the weeping willow waves its branches down by the rippling brooklet. Barbara Kritchie’s remains lie.

He rises in the morning, hustles into his clothes and. with a wild burst of speed, catches the last car on which he could get to school in time. Arriving at school, he climbs to the third floor and for forty minutes gazes out of the window, thinking of everything except his lessons. From the third floor, he descends to the first for his next class, then migrates to the second or the basement, lie goes to his gymnasium class. Through forty minutes he toils on ladders, or marches around in inextricable windings; the five-minute bell rings, and he rushes to the locker-room to put on his collar. With flushed face and steaming hair, he climbs three flights of stairs to the next class. Then comes the most agonizing time of the day—the cooling off in a room heated to boiling point. His woolen underwear is wet with the result of the enforced activity he underwent in the lower regions of the school; his collar is now limp and finger-marked; his face is seamed by little rivulets; his fellow-sufferers look at him with unconcealed mirth, and he feels, to say the least, uncomfortable. Much may be disguised in that word. The long day over, he leaves for home with a young library under his arm. and a feeling of relief manifesting itself in a genial smile as. with stealth he picks some homeward-bound youth's pocket of his Lake Street transfer. Happily he wraps himself around a cup of “fresh this morning coffee and six or more slices of P.utter-Krust” bread.

[Page Sixty-five.] History Repeats Itself « Just a year ago, the Seniors of January. 1913, elated by the covetous W glances of the underclassmen, strutted out of South High. Last fall, those of us who entered the University, came in like children from the nursery, down for their first dinner with the “grown-ups.” Wc received a duennalike peck on each cheek by way of introduction. W e successfully passed the bewildering’ knife and fork stage. e were “stuffed by the Sophomores, jollied by the Juniors, and glanced at by the Seniors with their benign but abstracted air. Seniors at the University are not widely different from those at high school: a little more dignified, a little wiser, but still despicably condescending. We were again drilled in punctuation, in “shall and will.” and iu the art of let ter-writing. W'e renewed our acquaintance with “Woolley,”, though not with our A room fervor. W’e were advised to make frequent visits to standard dictionaries. It was impressed on our minds that the chief duty of a Freshman was to display his ignorance. Thus far. our experience at the University has convinced us that the proverb, “Live to learn.” works both ways. GERTRUDE JACOBSEN. Fatherly Advice You Seniors! Look out! It’s all right to strive onward and upward, but if your eyes are not wide open, some practical fox with no diploma hanging on his library wall may beat you to a good thing. Always look high, but don’t make the mistake of falling into the coal-hole. Your diploma is a handsome piece of stationery, but the cashier in the restaurant will decline to take a chance on it with her nickel-plated punch. When you graduate, a few of our prominent citizens will “look into your faces” and rejoice greatly. After you graduate, some hard-headed employer is going to look into your brain-box. and draw his own conclusions. Your chance of becoming president is one in about thirty-five millions. Better spend your time on learning some trade or profession where the odds arc more in your favor. If .you are fortunate enough to incline toward a certain line of endeavor, work it hard: but if you don’t incline, you need not recline. Keep busy and you may develop into a man after all. The big bump on the rear of your cranium may be a bump of superior wisdom and intelligence, or may be the section of your pate that providence chose for you to land upon when you fell down the cellar stairs. Again, it may be a large, fully developed bump of Asininity. fP«Ke Sixty-six.] 4 e a .

Married Life the First Year AM requested to write one hundred seventy-four words. The rambling is over. It is hard to come back to earth, but such is the fate of every newly married couple. Young Husband regretfully leaves the side of his young W ife, and wends his weary way to the office. He stops at one store before reaching the office. How well do young husbands know that store! How fast and fearful do its products disappear! Oh, those Cigars! The FEARFUL STEP has deprived him of all his cash. When he reaches the office, the usual shoulder-breaking, finger-smashing process is gone through. It keeps up all day, and Husband is glad to get home to his Little One. The first two weeks go by blissfully, but one morning when the oversleeping stunt is indulged in. Husband rushes off to work and FORGETS TO KISS HIS WIFE.' He does not appreciate his mistake until he gets home, and then. “Brr-r-r; Gee. but it's cold in here!'' as Wifey airily floats around getting dinner, with her nose scraping cobwebs off the ceiling. Let me insert right here that nothing amuses Husband more than to watch his better seven-eighths trying to act unconcerned under such trying circumstances. After dinner Hubby starts coaxingly asking Wifey to come and sit on his lap; she is perfectly comfortable in the chair she has. Next he starts petting her on the shoulder. He is acidly informed that if he wants to wipe his hands, there is a towel in the bathroom. The plot thickens; finally might overcomes mite, and she lands safely on his lap.

Each year the membership has been increasing until it has reached the significant figure of forty. This may not seem very much to the Freshmen and Sophomores, but. to a member. it means that this club is one that attracts the earnest and well-meaning fellows, not a club that attracts those who are always out for a good time. But do not let me give the impression that this club is a grind; for it certainly is not. Let me outline the procedure and you may be the judge. The fellows from all the high schools meet in the Y. M. C. A. lobby before six o’clock and talk over the week’s happenings. At six o’clock they are called to supper, which consists of beans, pie. buns and cocoa. At six-thirty the speaker of the evening begins his talk, which lasts until seven o’clock. Then the different clubs adjourn to their respective rooms, where the business is transacted, followed by a discussion of the talk. The meeting adjourns at seven-thirty. That is the program. The time to which all the members look forward is Easter vacation, when the Bean Club camp is held at Phelps’ Island. There the fellows have the time of their lives. They throw school and care to the winds. During the day the fresh air. water and sunshine is theirs: at night they have initiations, mock trials and various stunts. This, then, is the South High Bean Club that has lasted so long and so well: with a future that is very promising and a reputation that has been built up through good work. RICHARD LINDQUIST.

'I'he purpose was to develop the highest standard of womanhood, and to promote a spirit of fellowship and co-operation among its members. Entre Nous has accomplished much in making school life enjoyable for our A Senior girls. The girls have heard some very interesting lectures at the club meetings. Dean Sweeny of the I'niversity of Minnesota spoke on the subject Simplicity.” At another meeting Mrs. Stockwell addressed the girls on W oman's Suffrage.” Her talk was so earnest that she gained many devotees to the cause.” W e also had delightful social gatherings every second meeting. I don't think we shall soon forget the Hallowe’en party and the mysterious things that happened, or the luncheon at our last meeting. This club has continued among the Senior girls of the January classes and we hope it will continue in succeeding years.

The boys practice an hour and a half on Monday afternoons with their patient leader. Mr. A. Carlson. The members of the present club are inexperienced singers, and for that reason. Mr. Carlson is having some difficulty in bringing the boys up to the standard set by our former clubs. The members are rewarded for one term’s work, by half a credit, providing they are present at all the rehearsals and spend forty minutes on their songs, at home every day. The club is composed of: First Tenors—Herbert Anderson, John Carey. Milton Cravender. Lowell Jacobsen, and Lloyd Tebo. • Second Tenors—Lewis Friedheim, Leroy Oster, Clayton Swanson, and Luther Youngdahl. First Basses—Eldred Colburn, Elmer Ilalberg. Richard Lindquist.

Its primary purpose is to promote class feeling and loyalty to our Alma Mater, while doing social service in our school community and co-operating with every agent for progress. The club has been a source of pleasure socially, as well as educationally since the day of its organization. W e have built the second story of the club this year by the aid of Mrs. Bucknam and Miss Keatlev, and it promises, we think, to become a substantial and most attractive edifice. W e are most proud that the club has instituted a course of lectures on “Painters and Paintings. ’ The third one of this first course was given at W alker's Art Gallery. Such a meeting affords an unusual opportunity for the cultivation of a love for art in its different branches. The club has made an appeal to the self-respect of all the girls of our school, and the response noted throughout the building shows that all the girls are striving to become ideal women.

[Page Seventy-three.] The Technical Club HE South High Technical Club is an organization of the Junior and Senior boys who take an interest in the great scientific problems of the clay. Its purpose is to give the members an opportunity to learn about manufacturing processes and engineering feats, by making trips to various places and bv listening to lectures bv scientific experts. During the last two months of 1913 (not to mention lectures attended), the members made trips on which, among other things they saw. the oxy-acetvlene process of welding, the government dam in the Mississippi river, and Mr. Heine’s aeroplane. Mr. Heine made several successful flights, and tlie members grew so enthusiastic over the rapid progress of aviation, that some were in grave danger of having to walk home bareheaded and barefooted. Moreover, the boys have great ambitions; they have great plans for the future. If Mr. Carnegie will render financial aid. they will visit during the spring term, the Tiger Publishing Company, the Panama Canal, and the Hopkins Clothespin Factory.

There were many good players lost by last year’s graduation. Among these were Ferdinand Oldre, William Peterson, William Reynolds, and others who began work in the orchestra four years ago, and played with it continuously until they finished school. Since the individuals take regular weekly lessons from some private teacher and keep up daily practice at home, the members of the orchestra derive much benefit from the hard weekly drill. They really accomplish something worth while. Two credits are given for one year’s work. The annual concert will be given in March, and the proceeds will be used to buy musical instruments. In spite of handicaps, the orchestra expects to do well by the end of the term. [Page Seventy-five. 1 • The Salmagundi Club ROBABLY the greatest oratorical society of this enlightened age is the “Salmagundi Club” of South High, which can boast of having produced some of the most powerful orators since the time of Demosthenes. We are all familiar with the illustrious members of this club. Mr. “Mac” Hale, the ardent advocate of suffrage and socialism, whom we have heard expound in vigorous and persuasive language, is a light not easily to be forgotten in the history of the club. Mr. Mac Hale has so distinguished himself with his phenomenal oratory that he has been forced, by our patroness, Mrs. Buckman, more than once to take the place of honor,—the front seat. Mr. “Fatty” Gerow, after propping himself securely against some immovable object and after having uttered a fine guttural ejaculation, has been known to expound intelligently such a subject as “Is environment or heredity the great factor in the selection of the child’s vocation?” Mr. Halberg impresses his hearers deeply, as, awaiting providential inspiration, he runs his long musical fingers through his luxuriant hair. Mr. Baird, though a wonderful essayist, is able to enlarge marvelously upon a few jottings. Mr. Paul Johnson, one of the intellectual geniuses of the age. being of a most sober and heavenly minded disposition (and very much against dancing?) always selects such noble topics as “Nature,” “Flowers,” “Birds.” Miss Marion Olney is noted for the perfect diction of her essays, which, with the XPaBo Seventy-six.] liiiiDiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiinriiininniiiilllliiiii rt pi mm H linii||ini III 'M 11,1 iliiiiiiniliJiiin llJliiiillliiniiiiiiiil ilium ini II tliml mi II millJI iiiiiitiniiiiiiiniiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiil AJ exception of the oft repeated conjunction “and,” arc delivered in a superior f manner. g 'rims, we see that the Salmagundi Club, as a result of being associated g with some of the world’s greatest men. has no small place in the literary world, and students from all parts of the globe flock to it to attain superior achievement in the arts of speaking and writing. The School Manns’ Club Among the many active uplift clubs of South High School, is the School Marins’ Club. This club was organized for a great purpose, that of eliminating any work which is disagreeable to the pupil. The organization prides itself on being the only one of its kind in the whole wide world, but at the same time urges that other school marms join in working for the cause. Every Friday afternoon in room 23, pleasant surprises, in the form of various amusements which shall replace the regular lessons, are planned for the students. Miss Oilman, the worthy president, and Miss Keatley. her eager second, are about to present a most brilliant plan to the Board of Education, for a system of schooling whereby the summer vacation shall be one month, and the day’s session shall last from nine till twelve, with little or no homework, and a recess of an hour and a half. Mr. Martin, on account of his zeal in the project, has been made an honorary member. The club intends to transform the schoolhouse from a place of drudgery to a palace of wonderful mysteries and delights. Some of the teachers are to entertain every period of the day. and those who wish to attend the entertainments are very willingly excused from their classes. Although this club is almost alone in its efforts, yet it has accomplished wonders, and its plans are marvelous. May every schoolmarm who sits before a roomful of those wonderful human beings, high school students, either form or join a club of this kind, and so keep up with the procession. Defunct Societies After a perusal of the dictionary, the above was found to mean a dead society. The faculty, me thinks, had a secret society. Four bells, and all were on deck in A room. Behind closed doors, a heated debate took place to decide whether Mr. Jorgcns should bend the right knee while speaking, or bend the left knee. It was finally decided that he should bend both. Mr. Laysee, president of the Loafology Club, spoke on researches he had made on the subject, “How to Become Rich Without Working.” He suggested cutting up the holes of doughnuts, and selling them for keyholes. This society went bankrupt, on account of no one’s having made a fortune. The Student Council and the Improvement League hung up their mop pails and their mops, gave up South as hopeless, and bit the dust. Another organization, the Girls’ Glee Club, composed of would-be Melbas, used to be heard in the Auditorium certain afternoons, warbling thoughtlessly by itself. Many other organizations of great importance were wiped out by trend of school life, but space will not permit description. [Pase Sevcnty-Hcven.] B V I Our Affirmative Three Soh n so n■ ycunj({a h(. Mac Hate. Debate The question for debate for the season of 1013-1914 was: Resolved, that all judges in Minnesota be subject to the recall. The affirmative side of the question was upheld by Benjamin Youngdahl, Leo MacHale and Paul Johnson. with Sam Hector serving as alternate. That the team was excellently coached by Messrs. Philip Carlson. Robert Cowling and Wayland Parrish was brought out in the debate against North High, in which the boys from South were victorious by a 2-to-l score. The South team at present is tied for the city championship. It we ate able to get one point out of three, we shall be city champions. The night of February 27. South will meet W est to decide whether the Harvard cup will come into possession of South High or whether there will be a tie between East and South. If victorious, South can boast of the first championship in years. I I’nge Seventy-eight.] Our Negative Three i _ Uac h - Debate The negative representatives of South were Saul Yager, Emma Walburg and Leo Xacht, with Rudolph Anderson serving as alternate. The negative defeated Central High’s team by a 3-to-0 score. The strong East team went down to defeat at the hands of South by a 3-to-0 score. The negative was excellently coached by Messrs. Xcwton Hegel and Rudolph Schultz. They have done all in their power to bring the championship to South High, gaining six votes in their two debates. The idea of having two teams, one which has studied the affirmative side of the question and one which has studied the negative, is entirely new to South High. This is an excellent method, because it not only gives the school a better chance of winning the championship, but it gives more students a chance to represent their school. [Page Seventy-nine.J The Rooters’ Club I • 1913-1914 V IxrNA II 11K Rooters’ Club is an organization new to South High. but which will, without doubt, be one of the permanent clubs in the years to come. The purpose of the club is to secure unity of spirit and enthusiasm for our athletic and debating contests. The club realizes that a body united to accomplish one thing, will find it an easy and simple matter to accomplish other things. Something was needed to help unite the various interests of South High, 'l'lie organization of a Rooters’ Club offered the best opportunity for welding together the different elements of which South is composed—faculty, students, alumni, and friends; for it offered a definite object to attain, in the doing of which, each member could have his share. At our second meeting all club members joined in singing the “Burial Hymn,” which was sung with great gladness, owing to the demise of “Old Man Ax.” and the birth of the beloved twins. Success” and Boost.” The club of 1913-1914 sincerely hopes that in future years the South High Rooters' Club will continue to lend all other high schools in the things for which it stands.

South did not succeed in capturing the cup, but produced some of the best players on any local high school team. The spirit of good sportsmanship prevailed through all the games, thus making them the cleanest that have been played for many seasons. The South team, although it did not reach the top, was far from a failure. It is difficult to point out any individual stars, as every man had the right spirit and grasped every opportunity given him, and if one showed up better than another, it was largely due to more and better opportunities. A football team does not only rely upon its ‘‘beef. but on its brains, training and speed. To get the training and speed it is quite necessary to have a second team to practice with. The second team this year was much better than that of former years, but more enthusiasm ought to be shown by the boys. The combats with the second team produce rivalry, which is the spice and spirit of football. I wish to thank Mr. Jorgens for his support of the team. 1 also thank Mr. Bird for his faithful work during the past season, and wish him the best of wishes for his 1914 team. To the regulars. 1 wish to give my thanks for the splendid faithful work they did, and I am also grateful to those on the second team who gave such valuable assistance to the first.

The base-ball team of 1913. while not a pennant winner, deserves much credit. The team started the season under the leadership of “Choppy” Dean, with but three veterans, no coach, and little chance of getting one. Mr. McCullough, who succeeded Mr. Hawthorne as “Gym” instructor, did his best toward setting the team on its feet, and giving it a good start for the season; but as lie was not a base-ball coach, not much could be expected of him. The boys worked hard, getting together a team which fought from the beginning to the end of the season. South started the spring season with an easy victory over East and of the eight games played, won four. 'Phe team for 1914, under the generalship of “Mick” Lawler, and with the help of several veterans of the South High diamond, will be a strong contender for the 1914 pennant. U’age Eighty .five. 3 What We Think of Our 1913 Nine Donaghue, catcher. He did great work for the team and has next year left W in which to play. He will probably be one of the best catchers in the league. Clancy, south paw” pitcher, lie proved to be the downfall of many heavy batters. Jim was handicapped by inexperience, but still has one more year in which to pitch. Dean, captain and short-stop. Cloppy” did great work for the team and will be back next year with the same quality. Byers, first base. Fritz did good work at first bag and will continue the good work next year. While not a heavy hitter. Fritz proved in pinches to be a terror with the bat. Lawler, second base. “Mick,” the captain of the 1914 nine, was the “Ty Cobb” of the team. Moriarity, third base. Howie” has three years more to play and should develop into one of South’s greatest diamond heroes. Curtin, left field. Jack was the star among the outfielders, while his hitting was the sensation of the season. Eklund, center field. Kklund played a good game during the entire season. 11 is home-run against McLaughlin of North was the only home-run from that pitcher. Corbett, right field, lie was one of the best fielders in the league. He has still another year in which to show his skill. An Appreciation 'Phe student body of South High School wishes to thank the members of the South Side Commercial Club for their hearty support of the Athletic Department of this school. It was through their generosity that the football team was given a banquet at the close of the last season. Some time ago, the club presented the football team with football blankets, a gift which was highly appreciated by the team and the faculty. In these, and many other ways, has the Commercial Club shown its interest in South High athletics, and we, the students, extend to them our sincere thanks and appreciation for their co-operation.’ (Pago Eighty-six.] «3l � ■«' Clan c J3yer5.

The games this year were rather one-sided, as no other class had a pitcher as good as F.klund or Clancy. The seniors easily won by shutting out the other pitchers and Eklund's ability to strike out opposing batsmen. In no game did Eklund allow more than two hits. After the inter-class series an all-star team was picked. Central picked an all-star team and played South in the South Gymnasium. The final score was 22 to 1 in favor of South. Eklund allowed one hit and struck out 19 men. The game lasted seven innings. The all-star team that played Central were: Eklund, Pitcher E. Lindquist, Right Field Byers, 2nd Base Lawler, Short-stop Moriarity, 3d Base Corbett. Short-stop Clancy, 1st Base Dean. Catcher Farrell, Left Field There were other good indoor players who couldn’t be used. Wikan, a South player, got Central’s only hit. The Athletic Association Until this last season, the students of South High School have had no idea of what an athletic association is. With the aid of Mr. Burrier. the interest of the boys was aroused and an athletic association was well organized: and the membership has been increasing wonderfully this last term. The organization takes care of all responsibilities along the line of athletics, thus putting the control in the hands of the students. Faculty men are appointed to assist them in their work. All of these improvements are directly traceable to the energy and hard wo’-k of Mr. Burrier and the present year’s officers. Officers: James Clancy, president: Fred Byers, vice-president; Lloyd Dean, secretary: Mr. Greenwood, treasurer; Mr. Hilgendorf. manager, and Mr. Mat tin, supply manager. [Page Eighty-eight.] I The track team of South High has shown a marked improvement ever teams of past years. Although they did not score many points, there were more contestants in the field than ever before. Early in the season, an inter-class track meet was held in the gymnasium for the purpose of securing representative material. South, in the first meet, which was held at Shat-tuck on May 3. 1913. was represented by Matthews (Captain), Gonuella, Dean, Murphy, and Byers. Although these men were not point winners at Shattuck. they returned with an idea of their position in relation to the other high schools of the city. The Twin City meet was a little more favorable: Matthews winning third place in the 220 yard, low hurdle, and fourth place in the 220-yard dash, and Byers getting fourth place in the high lump. In the city meet, Matthews received third place in the 220 yard, low hurdles, and fourth place in the 100-yard dash, and Byers third place in the high jump. With but few exceptions, all the track team men are hack, and we may look forward to good prospects for the coming year. vllkan m the am Mathews m the lead )4s, it's (.Page Eight Girls. Senior Team. The girls of the A Senior class, and of the Junior class, have organized an indoor baseball team. They have practiced for some time successfully and expect to have teams worth while. Practice games are held every Tuesday under the direction of Miss Cushing. Junior Team. Mabel Clausen’s pitching is worthy of mention; Irma Baiocchi also has gained many points for the team. The girls look forward to many interesting games this term, and we look forward to the time when the girls of the other classes will organize an indoor baseball team. This will give a chance for more rivalry among the classes by interclass games. Those in the team are: Loretta Clark Mable Clauson Catherine Clancy Janet Paul Laura Smallidge Irma Baiocchi Hannah Peterson Elizabeth Raiche Adair McRae. [Pngo Ninety.] A v'S . Basket Ball IJasket-ball was marked by its close and interesting games, during the season-of 1913. All the classes turned out good teams, which fought hard for the championship through all the games. The most interesting and spirited were the Senior-Sophomore, Senior-Junior, and Junior Sophomore. These games showed that South High has many good basket-ball men. The prominent players on the floor were Eklund, Farrel, Byers, Lawler, Curtin. Gonnella, Clancy, and several others. The season ended with the Seniors at the top; Sophs, second; Juniors, third, and Fresh-ies at the bottom. Two games have been played in the 1914 season. The Seniors defeated the Juniors 31—4. The Freshies beat the Sophomores by a close score.

According to the society’s marking, a man who is fairly good on every piece of apparatus is a better gymnast than one who has Specialized in one or two events. The South High Gymnastic Society of 1913 made a pretty good show, considering the number of men entered and their experience. When there are such teams as the University of Minnesota, Carleton College, St. Olaf’s College, and St. John’s University in the contest, the high school boys have to work pretty hard for sixth place. Three of South’s boys won medals: J. Gonneila, E. Carlson, and R. Wikan. J. Gonnella was captain of the team last year, and E. Carlson has been chosen as the leader this year. The members of last year’s team who received letters are as follows: J. Gonnella, E. Carlson. R. W ikan. C. Hillman, R. Uee. A. Ecklund, and E. Colburn. IPago Ninety-two.] Our Crack Gymnasts.

I IK wiener roast at last! In the shade of the old Lake Street llridge we gathered and waited with eager expectations, but “our anticipation proved greater than our realization : for. as it happened, our esteemed president, probably because of his lofty position, deemed himself above the common herd, and with a few chosen ones, held a short distance away. However, we had a very good time. The common herd had the wieners, and our president got the roast. November 20. 1913. The A Seniors had a hard time party last night, with the P� Seniors and some alumni as guests. I had the time of my life. Some of the creations were side-splitting. The party began with a fantastic grand march, after which we played old-fashioned games, and gossipped. Instead of the usual allowance to paupers of hard-tack and water; sandwiches, coffee, cherry ice and wafers were served. Then we danced till 11 o'clock. That the whole blowout was so startling a success was due. for the most part, to the help given by the members of the faculty who were our guests. December 20, 1913. No snow, so no sleighing. Consequently we turned to something else. The something else was that Christmas party. I worked terribly hard, helping put the “TrimminV up, but the energy was well spent: for the gym looked like Fairyland on Christmas eve. A monstrous tree twinkled with sparkling lights, and the big red brick chimney and fireplace bespoke Santa's approach. When he did clamber down the impromptu chimney, and when he finally entered the room, he did look cute. AH the good boys and girls received presents with which they were duly delighted, as was made evident by the general hubbub rising from tin horns and tlntcs. After Santa had lessened the glare' of rouge on his face, and had once more become human, we were given something to eat. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing and other foolishness. Everyone pronounced the party a success. I’m terribly afraid, little book, that if it doesn’t snow pretty soon that this will end our series of good times. January 23. 1914. Well, it’s all over and I feel mightily relieved; first, because it all went off fine, and secondly, I didn’t get a spot on my gown at the supper! Everyone felt hilarious after the terrible strain and everyone enjoyed that banquet. How we did gossip (at least I did), about the appearance of this one and the style of that one’s dress! Our social committee did some good work for us this term, and they deserve a great deal of praise for planning this event, to which we shall always look back as the last social gathering of the entire class of January. 1914. And now we. who but yesterday were giggling, carefree, yet illustrious “A Seniors, are now sober, careworn, noble Alumni. Thus is the course of human events! To the members of the faculty who have acted as our chaperons, who have helped plan and carry out our social gatherings, we. the class of January. 1914. express our most sincere thanks. {Page Ninety-four.] or iiiiiiiiiimiiiliitiniiiii||j|i uiiiiiiiiiiiifiinimcnniin;! llllllililiil I 0 } k I! ill!:!

When Mary Met Ruth T WAS on a cold, winter day during the Christmas holidays, while Ruth was uptown, that .Mary, tired out from the extra office work that Christmas brings, came face to face with her old chum Ruth. Oh! what a happy meeting. Even after her year’s absence from school. Mary was enthusiastic over her “Alma Mater.” “Well, how is dear old South progressing?” said Mary. “1 suppose you are a senior now. Rut there is no fun in going to school; no parties or anything. I'm glad 1 quit. “Oh, but you are mistaken! We’ve had lots of parties and things going on. Let me see, the first party we had this term was a class party on )ctober 3. given in the school gymnasium. We played games and had a glorious time, and refreshments were served. Then the Pocahontas club gave a nursery party on Tuesday, Xov. 11. Some of the girls were dressed as boys; the others as girls of six.” “But what is the Pocahontas Club?’’ asked Mary. “Oh, that is a club consisting of the B senior girls. We have it next year. too. you know. We have our meeting every other Tuesday, during which illustrated lectures are sometimes given and refreshments are served. Oh yes. the Pocahontas Club gave a Christmas party for the class on Monday, December 29. Everything was decorated in Christmas style: and. just think, we had a fireplace and Santa Claus came down through the chimney with presents for all of us. Besides, our class has been invited to some of the A Senior parties. So you see there have been parties enough.” Mary began to realize now how much more intersting it must be to go to school than to go to work every day. She became so enthusiastic that she made Ruth promise to buy her a “1914 Tiger.” and after hurried goodbyes had been said, both departed, with very different feelings. A Junior Party X NOVEMBER 24. in the South High gymnasium, tnere took place the big social event of the year. It was the first party of the A Junior class and proved to be an immense success. It was a real class party, no outsiders, and almost every member of the class was present. Mr. Hil-gendorf. Miss Fish. Miss Byrnes, and Miss La Vigne acted as chaperons. The gymnasium was decorated in the school colors, orange and black. Many thanks are due Miss Byrnes for her able assistance in decorating. Dancing and games were in order, and at about 9:45 a sumptuous repast was served in the lunch room. The good time continued until 11.

And order a new course served up—the Age of the Dinner Pail. Then no one shall scramble for places, and no one shall carry a tray. And no one shall study a bill of fare, and no one will have to pay; There shall be no more soup-lined collars, we shall hear no Freshman wail. “(� it off’n my feet there, can’t you?” in the Age of the Dinner Pail. And Mr. Jorgens shall praise us. cherubs on golden chairs; For no one shall splurge on pie a la mode, or be stuck up with chocolate eclairs: Put each with the proper food values, his digestion shall regale. And we’ll have blue jeans and halos, and a silver Dinner Pail.
