This book zee dedicate. Foreword. POUR years ago, a South I ligh boy was appointed a cadet at Annapolis. 1 l.ast year he stood highest in his class of 1S9. I lc graduates in June, second in rank. I le is one of the many fine fellows I have known who have been enthusiastic for the Orange ami Black. I le always returns when he can to South, to renew acquaintanceship, remembering with appreciation and affection the place where he received part of his education—an admirable trait in former students, bespeaking a nature loyal and patriotic. This is as it should be. ()ur education should intensify patriotism. Loyalty for a home institution means the upholding of the interests and honor of the larger institution—the State. I like the appearance of the youth. I lis training has not made him haughty nor is he humble. I le is just right: for he shows evidence of self-respect combined with thoughtfulness for others,—qualities which make for the earnest, manly fellow one likes to tie to. We have hundreds of this type at South. They are going out into various communities. They will take up the humdrum duties of every day life, and perform them well. They will be good providers; they will be upright in their dealings,—their word as good as a bond. To them the less fortunate will turn for protection. Wherever they are they will be trusted. Such is my confidence in the youth at South. You have often expressed your admiration for the teacher to whom you have dedicated your annual, with good reason. There is a story told that a lady’s guest at an afternoon tea was unfortunate enough to break a cup of great value; immediately, as if by accident, the hostess’ hand trembled, twitched, and a priceless mate of the first fell to the Hoor. She turned to her friend with a smile and remarked, “1 low slippery and impossible these cups are! 1 laven’t you heard Miss Fish use those very wordst Can you not understand her popularity? Self is lost, your comfort and happiness arc uppermost in her consciousness. Josi.ni JOKCiKNS. U'VFK one of us is so continually criticized, and made fun of, and —J nagged at and knocked down, and knocked down again as soon as we jump upon our feet, that every one of us thoroughly enjoys the rare treat of the fragrance of a real bouquet. Individually, I fear that most of the bouquets we receive are of the tissue paper kind: big. gaudy affairs given by flattering, fawning hypocrites, who tell us sweet things that we cannot believe, in order not to hurt our feelings: but the perfume of these flowers is of the drug store variety, and they feel prickly when we smell them. I Iowevcr, no one seems to regard the feelings of a large institution, so that we can feel that the bouquets thrown at South High School are made of genuine hot-house roses. I he thing that so many strangers have spoken of, in coming in contact with South High, is the line spirit which prevails in the heart and soul of the student-body. I he speakers we listen to in our mass meetings, the people who attend our football games and other school functions, and recently, a teacher whom we have just taken into our midst, all praise the pride and loyalty we feel toward our school, anti the co-operation with which we work and play. And I am certain that every student in South I ligh can assure himself that this is a genuine ami merited compliment. ()ther things also have drawn attention southward. Not the least among these is the orchestra, an organization in which that same spirit has generated enough power to maintain a high standard musically. In like manner, our school is able to keep abreast of others in athletics, literature, dramatic art. and scholarship. Wc have nothing to be ashamed of. save our lack ot space. Eleven itinerant pedagogs go traveling from room to room, from cellar to garret, crying “I’ussy wants a corner:” but the invincible spirit arises in these pilgrims also, and they make the best of the situation with a smile. In view of all these merits, we, the editors of this publication have felt that we must strive to make the 1915 Tiger maintain the ideals of South 1 ligh established by the other phases. We have tried to make this an expression of that spirit which has been so much admired. Wc have tried to make it artistic anil scholarly, and at the same time readable and humorous. Wc hope that our teachers and patrons will esteem it; wc hope that the student body will enjoy it: and wc hope that every member of the class that issues it will forever regard it as a personal memento of this last beautiful vear.

Miss Ruth Sorum was a close second in the beauty contest. Mr. Neumuth, runner up for the distinction of possessing the homeliest “map,” was on the verge of contesting the result, which was 15 to 14 in favor of MacHalc. “Narcissus” Mad lale pens these lines with tears in his eyes, hence he does not term this attempt for literary distinction as literature. Because literature, according to our authority, Mrs. Bucknam and Long, is “words of truth ami beauty.” 1 5] Popularity Contest J R. MacHALF. kept up his winning streak by carrying oft the honor of being the most popular Senior. Modesty prevents the Editor from telling what a good little body he is. Mr. I lilgendorf carried oft the honor of being the most popular teacher. We wonder how a man can he so lady-like and still be admired by the boys. To be the most popular girl was hard to decide as it was 50-50 with the members of the Senior class. The result was a tie between Adair I). MacRae and Mabel Olson. Results: 1. Mabel Olson ....25 1. Mac Hale ........59 1. Mr. Hilcexdorf ...40 2. Adair McRae ....25 2. Colburn .......22 2. Mr. P. Carlson ...35 3. Ruth Sorum .....15 3. Hoitomt ........15 3.

Still, I feel that you should know the worst at once, for in all candor and sincerity, it means everything to me. 1 dare not communicate with any of my friends, hut in my distress and perturbation of mind, I can go to you. I know that I am asking a great deal of you, but, it seems, our friendship warrants it. though I am going to ask you to lay aside friendship and loyalty and tell me from the bottom of your heart, where I know there is an abundance of generosity and kindness stored— Do you really think that “Jeff will ever be as tall as Mutt?

It was organized for the social and educational betterment of the Senior girls of South I ligh. With the aid of the very competent advisors, Miss Byrnes and Miss Fish, the girls of the Class of January, 1915, have done much to make their last high school year memorable. We have had various addresses by well-known women at different times during the year, not the least interesting of which was the address on “Woman’s Suffrage.” Our social affairs were also very successful. We had many pleasant gatherings during the year, and I am sure the “Roast” on the river bank and putting on the playlet “I lamlet” will linger long in the memory of all.

For the first time in years, the club has been recognized by another organization of the school, the event being the Masked Ball given by the Pocahontas Club, at which members of the V Club were guests. The club has also done something itself; the informal entertainment given for the boys of the Junior Class, was a great success and helped to promote the ideals for which the club stands.

It has already fulfilled more than it set out to do. Its purpose was mainly to foster loyalty to our school and a feeling of good fellowship among all the members of the Senior Class. It has now turned to philanthropy. The successful candy sale netted a total of $23.92. At the very next meeting the Domestic Science building echoed with the talk and laughter of girls industriously sewing for the poor of Minneapolis. Parties are not forgotten. Who will ever forget the Christmas party, with all its pretty costumes? The Freshman girls have been entertained; and the club promises to have a full program of social doings for the rest of the term. The meetings are mainly social, usually accompanied by a talk by prominent men and women. Interesting talks have been given by Mrs. I eland. President of the State Suffrage Board, and by Mrs. Covcl.

Any team that wears the colors of South I ligh School can be depended upon to give a good account of itself, whether it be track, gymnastics, baseball or football. The Orange and Black has come to be the symbol of lighting spirit among the city high schools, and it is due to this same spirit that South occupies a prominent place in athletics. South has good equipment for its athletes; the gym and shower baths afford splendid conveniences. Then too, there is the new athletic field which has recently been purchased. When this is surrounded by a cement wall, South will boast of an athletic field larger than that of the University of Minnesota. Aside from the place it holds as an institution, South is looked upon with admiration because of the great men it has sent out from its various teams: Such men as Judge I.eary, Stover, Lawler, Solem, and Lundcen. May South continue to develop great men and to turn out teams which shall have the respect and admiration of everyone. 17 | Richard Kelly. Football COLTII had another great year on the gridiron during the season of 1914. YVe dropped the lirst game to North, “The 1 lorseshoe Champions,” by the worst kind of a fluke. The result of this game was especially disappointing, hecause South had outplayed North by a wide margin throughout the entire game: ami because the championship would otherwise have been ours, as the team went out and won the remaining games on the schedule. The team, as a whole, was a combination of stars—not a collection of men working individually, as some stars are wont to do—which played with the smoothness of a well oiled machine. After the unfortunate North game the team hit its stride and showed its true caliber hv defeating West, East and Central. It possessed the usual South High spirit, as was repeatedly shown by the manner they fought in every crisis. Everything considered, it was a great team and we are sincere in our belief that Captain Hoppe will have another good team in the field in 1915. i; n Baseball Captain Lawler: By his work as captain and shortstop, the team finished the season tied with West for the championship. “Mick” was a good hitter, a fast fielder, and a heady base-runner. I le possessed the knack of instilling “pep ’into his men and to him must be given great credit for the showing of the 1914 team. Captain-Ei.kct Moriarity : “I lowie“ is well deserving of his honor. He is a great athlete and is sure to star next year. Besides being a star, “1 lowie is a clean-cut gentleman, anil a credit to the school. Dean: “Choppie” had a great year. Playing his third and last year under the Orange and Black, he proved himself to be one of the best infielders ever developed at South. He is a game, hardworking athlete, anti we predict that he will become a star in organized baseball. DoNAGlll'K: To the “Swede” much credit must be given for the success of the South twirlers. 11 is strong point was headwork, and it was this that pulled our pitchers through many a “pinch.” Clancy: While not the possessor of many fantastic curves, he was a successful twirier, because he exercised his grey matter in a way that has made men like “Old Cy Young” and “Mathewson” famous. Byers: But for the fact that he throws right-handed, he would be mistaken for Hall Chase. “Fritz” is a game, peppery, athlete and will be back next year, better than ever. Corbett: The best little outfielder in high school baseball last year. While not a Cravath with the stick, he could be depended upon in a “pinch.” Farrell : A good outfielder and a twirler. I le possessed a deceptive spit-ball which would have done credit to a major leaguer. Rains: In Rains, South has a man who bids fair to be a great star next year. I le possesses unlimited natural ability and he has the experience which he lacked last year. HoiTOMT: By his perseverance and his hard work, he succeeded in winning an “S.” It is to be regretted that he has not one more year in which to show his wares. LlNDQCIST: Must be given credit for his diligence and determination. IKOJ Football Captain Fakrkl: An excellent leader. Making the great team of 1911 in his freshman year, he gave promise of developing into a wonderful athlete. He made good this promise, starring in several sports, hut especially in football. He was fast on his feet, a wonderful open field runner, a terrific line smasher, and, above all, he was a natural leader. We regret that he will not finish his course at South, and he has our best wishes for success wherever he may go. Captain-Elect Hoppe: Hoppe is a great halfback, who we think will make an excellent captain. 1 Ie is a hard worker, always full ol “pep, and can be depended upon to rip the opposing line when he is carrying the ball. Warner: “Red’s” looks are deceitful. In spite of his size. Warner was far and away the best tackle in high school football. On the defense, he was a veritable stone wall; on the offense, he never tailed to make a wide opening for his backtield men. I le followed the ball like a hawk, was a deadly tackier, ami often beat his ends down the field under a punt. Byers: To quote from one of the dailies. “Byers was the most self-possessed man in high school football, is nearly sufficient. But we will add that “Fritz is one of the best athletes South ever boasted of, and that he has the distinction of being the unanimous selection for II-Star quarterback for two consecutive years. Hansen: “Bashful Buck” is a demon on the gridiron. “Buck” played one of the ends and played it well. Feign : Had Feign taken part in the North game, the championship would have been ours. The worth of Feign was shown by his absence. Moriarity: Handicapped by his lack ot size, Moriarity put up a game at end that won him a place on the mythical “All-Star.” Carey : A good, steady lineman. Carey will be back next year and he will develope into a valuable lineman. Himmler: “Chuck,” despite his youth, made a great running mate for Warner. I le lacked the experience of “Red,” but what he lacked in experience, he made up by his gameness and headwork. Olson: Olson played his guard faithfully, and was a man who could always be depended upon to do his share of the work. SoRl’M: Any line Sorum hit was sure to he pierced for a considerable gain. Sorum was a line smasher, who picked his holes in such a manner that he seldom failed to negotiate a gain. Swanson: “Red” was unfortunate because he had such a man as Sorum to work against. Next year, however, he will show his true worth. Nklson : While not worked very often, he showed that he has in him the workings of a good player. Mi'Halk: “Mac” did not possess the weight necessary to become a star, but he possessed the quality characteristic of his race: namely lighting spirit. 182] Uumnt When fr«iremittee prepared our olumm or life's bofUet Pledged ho GWTVjMoppo Phi Once e went fo ffje Junior Boll like fhii Woihing of the fanJy and daocosi'l of Mmnerjobd Hull were popolon Greeting DE1NG a preacher I can only preach. Let these lines from Edward Roland Sill serve as text: “Forenoon, and afternoon and night. Forenoon And afternoon and night. Forenoon and—what ? The rmpt song repeats itself, no more? Yea, that is life; make this forenoon sublime. This afternoon a psalm, this night a prayer; And time is conquered and thy victory won. The great earnest message of these lines is that out of what some folks call the monotony of life, character and destiny are achieved. All around us lie the raw materials out of which we fashion the hut or the palace in which we shall dwell throughout the coming eternities. Let no one deceive you with foolish talk about luck. Luck is the lazy man’s excuse for not trying. Conditions do not make a man; man takes the raw material called conditions, and out of them constructs opportunity. “I I aril luck” is better building material than ‘‘good luck.” “If I had time,” is the procrastinators signal of defeat. We all have as much time as there is, as much time as anyone else has; it is all a question as to the use we make of it. We all have a forenoon, an afternoon and a night in every day, and some folks are able to find a little time before the forenoon begins. Each comes with the challenge, “What are you going to do with me?” —make this forenoon sublime. This afternoon a psalm, this night a pra er. And time is conquered and thy victory won. One who was where you are, anil who would gladly change places with you today, who has come to realize that we have but one life to live, but rejoices that it need not be lived but one day at the time, and that for convenience the day may be divided and subdivided; such a one stretches out both hands in hearty greeting. 1 41 W. E. J. Gratz, Class of 1896. The Fixed Idea IV IAKE your chart before you start. Choose your destination before you buy your ticket. Don’t wait until you have reached the end of your journey and then decide where you are going. Many a man has dried up in a little wayside opportunity. You cannot tell what you are best fitted to do until you have fought for a few things worth the fighting. Now and then rifles accidentally hit bullscyes, hut every championship record is the result of practice and a good, steady aim. A Columbus did finally stumble on America, after much wandering; but a great many of his predecessors went down in the Atlantic gales. The builder who hasn’t decided how high to run his walls before he digs his foundations, takes too much of a chance. The pig in the poke” system is dangerous. The pig is as apt to bite your hands as your ham! is likely to grasp the pig. Don’t rely on accident to start you. Accident does not run on schedule, and hasn’t a habit of happening in the same spot twice. The Fixed 1 iabit is the motive power that has driven most men to attainment. More plodders than geniuses have reached eminence. The musician who aspires to become a master must look down to years of practice before he can look up to the hour of acclaim; and once that has struck, he must keep on practicing. The gift of harmony is only half: it is the Fixed Idea which keeps his finger on the keys, hour after hour, day after day, that brings him to the goal. The lawyer and the illustrator, the scientist and the master of business must all pay the same price. Make sure of what you want to do, feel sure that you have courage as well as the temperament to do it—and do it. One fair idea, unhesitatingly followed out is better than a dozen excellent plans, none of which receive concentrated attention. Spurts don’t count. The final score makes no mention of the splendid start, if the finish proves that you were an also ran.’’ At least ten out of twelve men who have made their mark, have won out because they did not peter out. The world did not take them seriously in the beginning, hut they took themselves seriously, and in the end the world changed its mind. Hut the world is so old, and has hail so much experience with the human race, that it puts everyone down to zero, and only acknowledges that he is above it when his gauge moves up to the mark his own confidence has set and his own ability attained. Thomas F. Humphkky, ’14. t 5J The Tiger from the Alumni Point of View Till- TIGER is the messenger which keeps the alumnus in touch with his Alma Mater. The good old orange and black Tiger never forgets the friends who rooted for him in the days of old. Stroke his fur forward or backward, and he purrs as pleasantly and invitingly as he used to in former years. What memories of high school days does he not recall! He reminds you of the day when your own charming frontispiece adorned his internal regions. You remember the group pictures of the clubs you belonged to. I low much trouble did not the photographer have in properly placing the irrepressible members? After forty-five minutes of industrious maneuvering he had you all in tiers, and then with the most remarkable inconsistency, desired you to look pleasant. You attempted to put on a nonchalant smile. Out of the corner of your eye you saw someone else attempting the same feat. You laughed outright, and barely controlled yourself in time to save the picture from total destruction. All went well, and the result was forty made-to-order smiles in neat array. You also remember the promises of those who trained the Tiger of 1915. Their forecasts would make the advertising manager of a soap factory blush with shame at his'own incompetency. Of course, he was going to be in the finest condition he had ever been. I low could he help it? I’hcy themselves were getting him into condition for his annual appearance. With a cynical smile you wonder what he is finally going to resemble if this astounding improvement continues from year to year. Nevertheless, as you examine the internal contents of the present I iger, you grow enthusiastic in your loyalty to old South. You sec by every article, poem, and illustration that whatever changes may have taken place in educational methods, athletic customs, and student ideas, the bouth I Iigh spirit is the same as it has ever been. You ask no more. c of the orange and black, ye sons of old South High, salute his majesty, the 'Tiger! Rudolph H. Anderson, Class of 1914. 1X61 odetp Society HP HE jolly class of A Seniors gave their first party at Edina Mills, Fri- day night, October 24. After walking about two miles in the wilderness beyond the city limits, they arrived at the city of Edina Mills. If the party wasn’t as brilliant as some of the affairs which followed later in the season, at least everyone reported a good time. Graduation Party. After the exercises on commencement night, the graduates gave a reception anil banquet in the gymnasium. An unusually large crowd attended, and the good time lasted two hours. Senior Sleigh Ride. On Wednesday, January 27, the coldest night during the winter, the A Seniors gave their sleigh ride. Bundled up in furs, sweaters and moccasins, they all defied Jack Frost, and took the bus out to Edina Mills. There a warm hall was waiting for them, and with refreshments and dancing, they proceeded to make merry until 12 o’clock. Masquerade. One of the most successful parties given this year was the Masquerade party given by the Pocahontas Girls, with the “V” Club Boys as guests. An hour was spent in becoming acquainted and trying to distinguish the faces hidden behind the masks. The grand march was made artistic by the use of sparklers. Games were played and lunch served, after which Santa Claus (Leo McHale) distributed gifts to all good boys anil girls present. Mr. Biddlecomhe was. for some unknown reason, overlooked. There were about eighty persons present. Entrk Nous Party. The girls’ club gave a party for the benefit of the Athletic Association, in the gymnasium, the night before Thanksgiving. At half past ten in the evening supper was served. Games and dancing were enjoyed, ami if the party was not a great success financially, it was socially. Class Play. The January Class presented “The Professor’s Love Story.” The June Class will present “The Man on the Box.” Miss Helen Fish and Mr. Fred Hilgcndorf help the classes by coaching. The South High Orchestra furnished the music. |HX| LITEKATVRE Thin Yellow Line o' ’Eroes “What are the three bells ringin’ for?” says Freshie-on-the-stairs; “To turn you out, to turn you out.” the Senior Boy declares. “What makes you look so white, so white?” says Frcshic-on-the-stairs; “I'm dreadin' what I’ve got to watch,” the Senior Boy declares. “For they’ve called us to assemble, you can hear the school hand play, They have called us to assemble, it’s a foot-ball meet today: And they’ll surely call for speeches from the boys that have to play, For they’ve called a foot-ball meetin’ for this mornin’.” “What makes the halfback breathe so ’ard?” says Frcshic-on-the-stairs; “ ’E’s lost is nerve, Vs lost is nerve,” the Senior Boy declares. “What makes that right guard duck so fast?” says Freshie-on-the-stairs; “ 'Tis frozen feet, tis frozen feet,” the Senior Boy declares. “For they’ve called us to assemble, they are crowdin’ down the aisle.

The Path of Knowledge (A Ofumu in One •S' num ) r � ; e—f ourth period. Place—Third floor hack. THE bell rings, ami about five minutes later the class saunters in, all cussing the elevator. Three minutes and seventy-seven seconds later, Mr. James V. S. Fisher enters the room from the north door behind the sink. The class (Lindquist and Himmler) rises and repeats in unison, “Good morning, James. James thanks them both and surveys the class. He notices that more than the usual number, i. e., Ahnmark and Kelley, are absent. I le goes to the window and standing on the radiator to look out, he perceives Thor-son anil (iunnarson playing marbles on the sidewalk. He whistles to them, anil a few minutes later, they dash into the room. Mr. Fisher now looks out in the hall and sees Kd Pearson “kidding Miss Hall beside the water trough. Mr. Fisher extracts a flute from his hip pocket, and to the hypnotic strains of “You’ll Do the Same Thing Over, the two march majestically into the room. A quorum now being present, the recitation begins. I iimmler is picked for the goat. “Is there any place on the earth where you can look north and see the sun? Charles—“I don’t know. Mr. Fisher imparts the tidings that the class is more stupid than usual. I le then unearths this one: “Which is more useful, the sun or the moon? Miss Hall—“The moon, because it shines when it is dark, while the sun shines when it is already light. Mr. Fisher is restored by applying a bucket of water where it will do the most good. He then rises as one man, and after emitting a few mild articulations, declares, “Let there be absence of luminosity. Dick shuts the shutters and darkness descends upon the awed assembly. Mr. Fisher informs the class that he will now give a lantern lecture on “I low to Keep Your b’cet Dry When It Rains.

Charles, who had to work (?) all night, now drapes himself across three benches, blissfully dreaming of his next month’s report card.

Popular Songs DOPULAR music is the kind of music which appeals to our feet as well as to our heads and hearts. When the strains of “Tip Top,” or I ing-a-Ling come to our ears, their tempo accelerated by the March wind, we find ourselves stamping our feet and gaining two kinds of warmth. I here arc days when a popular air runs through our heads and, unlike a phonograph, refuses to run down. How many jolly trips we take with a popular song for our vehicle. It’s a I.ong, Long Way to Tipperary” takes us to merry Ireland with her green fields, pretty colleens and Killarney’s lakes. “Down In Michigan” reminds us of what? A formidable football team perhaps! “Buy Me a Bale of Cotton,” whistled under a snow-laden sky, presents visions of seaside resorts: ladies with pink parasols and white poodle-dogs. I low much there is in the name of a popular song! Its special duty is to attract the human orbs and suggest our favorite hobbies. “Sailing Through the Panama Canal” might appeal to the man who has just opened a hank in that famous region. “And When We’re Married We’ll Live On Love” could induce almost any man to buy an arrow from Cupid. Can we say that popular music has any real value? Yes, I think we can; hut we certainly must add that it is like most good things, rather hard to find. It is whistled by Tom, Dick and 1 larry on the street, sung by Dorothy and Gladys in the parlor today—and gone tomorrow. It sweeps by like a cyclone: and it takes two to tell its story: one to say, “Here it comes,” and another to say. “There it goes.” What would the world of sport do without popular songs? I low could South High win a game without “Go-Go-Go”? The human form divine is a highly decorative feature on the bleachers, but it really is “On For South I ligh and “Bye-Bye-Bye” that carry the football heroes in true epic style on to the goal.

[«M| □ s ioiwnrD It All Depends IT was the night of the championship ball. The electric lamps shed a soft radiance over the whirling, gliding dancers, and the South High School colors were everywhere in evidence. The South I ligh School football players were the champions. I was happy with the pride of an alumnus for his school. A chair creaked beside me, several times, as though the occupant were ill at case, and could not sit still; then 1 heard a deep sigh; I turned, there was my old friend Jim Daly. I le looked very wistful; and his gaze seemed concentrated on one of the dancing couples. 1 le recognized me with a feeble smile, then without looking at me he exclaimed under his breath, “Ain’t she a beauty?” “Whom do you mean?” 1 asked. Jim looked at me pityingly. “Why Marjorie, of course. Did you ever see any one like her? Look at her face—her lips, her chin, her cheeks like roses; her sparkling eyes glowing like—like—” “—like arc-lights.” I suggested hopefully. Jim gave me a withering look, but continued, with more ecstasy than elegance, “Look at her clothes, will you! Latest style—all fancy! And the way she moves—she’s as graceful as—as—” Again I came to his aid. I wanted to say gazelle, but instead said sheep. This remark seemed to anger Jim, therefore, to change the subject. I said, “Joe Woodman, who is dancing with her, is a pretty good-looking fellow, isn’t he?” “That depends on one's taste,'’ said Jim sarcastically, “I’d call him anything hut handsome, lie’s got a jowl like a woodchopper; his face is as red as a sunset; and his hands are almost as bony as his head. Then he tries to make up for it by Hashv dressing, ami the result is unfortunate for him!! By this time, Jim was so out of sorts that I left. It is remarkable, I thought, how one may inadvertently get into hot water by taking the wrong point of view. Having decided to exercise extreme circumspection in conversation, I strolled over to Miss Jemima Jimson. After a few preliminary remarks I said casually, “That Marjorie Drake is a remarkably charming girl, don’t you think?” Miss Jemima sniffed superciliously. “I can’t say that I admire your taste,” she said. I lere she leaned closer and whispered, “Look at her face—her cheeks and lips all rouge if know anything about it,—” I hastily assured Miss J. that I considered her a very excellent judge, indeed, of rouge. At this she seemed to take offence but continued never- [■ •1 theless, “—and look at her clothes! She can go to greater extremes and load up with more scrappy trimmings than anyone I ever saw. Notice how she moves—just like a— a—” 11 ere was my chance, I thought, so I said. “—like a gazelle. “(jazelle, nothing. said Miss Jemima, “more like a snake, I should say! This, 1 thought, was worse than my own unfortunate simile. I must correct her. “My dear young lady, I said, gravely enough, “a snake looks much less like a gazelle than a sheep does. Miss Jemima looked at me in a surprised way, and remarked, “Who said anything about sheep? “It was who said sheep, I hastened to explain. “When I— “Oh! forget it, suggested the fair one. I became silent. After a few uncomfortable moments she asked, “What do you think of Joe Woodman? “I la! ha! ha!, I laughed heartily, “he is quite a specimen—reminds me of— Miss Jemima silenced me with a burst of indignation. “Why, I think he is a perfectly splendid fellow! See what a manly bearing he has—his firm jaw, and powerful, expressive hands. And notice the healthy, ruddy color in his face, lie has a most intelligent expression too:—and he dresses well, she concluded, looking at me with frowning disfavor. Thoroughly crushed by her wrath, I withdrew, quietly. Since then I have often wondered. “Who was right, Jim or Jemima? and the only answer I can find is. that it all depends on the point of view. Jos. Kindvall. | .7| Inkpah Club INKPAH!—the Sioux word meaning apex—a lit name for our newly organized club in South I ligh! The name is meant to be descriptive of the position held by the club members in the intellectual world of our great school, and we venture to prophesy that the club will prove worthy of its name. In the dim prehistoric age, some caveman made the greatest discovery in the history of the world. I le found that lire could be produced by the action of one piece of wood upon another. It was probably much later that a philosopher established the principle that the intellectual Hame, which distinguishes man from the rest of creation, is produced only by the action of mind upon mind. Comparing the two kinds of conflagration, we find that with wood we may well produce the former, but that the latter is never nourished by anything so material as wood. Therefore, in order to attain the goal of the club, it was necessary to secure as members, only those who would be as far as possible removed from the imputation of being blockheads. What admirable judgment was displayed by the members of the faculty concerned in the choice, is plain to everyone who has the honor of acquaintance with any of the club members. The constitution of the club states that: “The object of this club shall be to promote the intellectual and social development of its members; the membership of this club shall be limited to Juniors and Seniors: prospective members shall be selected on the basis of scholarship and general all-around ability. bellow club members! Now that we are well started, let us remember the high goal which we have in view. May we ever hold such standards as shall make a membership in the Inkpah Club an honor to be coveted. Let us remember that we represent South I ligh School more completely than any other body. Ours is a great responsibility. Let us see to it that we help, by our loyalty, to make this a rare jewel in the matchless diadem of our Alma Mater, a radiant star in the firmament of her achievements! IWI It 8 an Awful Thing to Be a Freshman (Tune h't t I.ant. VI oy to Itpfvrary.) L’p to South Side High School Came a Freshie small, one day; And when he met some Seniors, To his room he asked the way; So they told him on the fourth floor, In room twenty-one; Then Johnny got excited, And he started on a run. Chorus . It’s an awful thing to be a Freshman; It's a hard way to go; It’s a frightful thing to he a Freshman; That’s the surest thing I know. Mr. Cowling is too solemn. M iss Dorr is no joke: It's an awful thing to he a Freshman, It gets my goat. Johnny grew to he a Senior, From a Freshie, shy and small: And forgot how he had wandered Hopeless through the hall: So when he met a Freshie, Looking for room twenty-three, ‘‘Just take the elevator, kid. And don’t you bother me.” Chorus: It's a long, long way to be a Senior; It’s a hard way to go: It’s a long, long way to he a Senior; That’s the surest thing you know. Gym gives you palpitation, And Chorus, a sore throat: It’s a long, long way to he a Senior, Thev’ll get vour goat. “Inky.” 199| Everybody9a Hour Between the fifth and sixth hour, hen the day is beyinning to sour, Contes a pause in the school's occupations t hat is known as the Eating Hour.” hear in the room above me The restlessness of their feet, The sound of a door that is opened, A scurry, a roar, and a bleat. A sudden rush from the stairways, A sudden raid from the halls, From all doors left unguarded, They enter the lunch room walls. They crowd and squeeze in the bread line, They walk all over my feet; If try to escape, they surround me,— O, why do I have to ealf I will go and build me a fortress, H'ith stone walls, strong and high, And alone in my gloomy dungeon, m eat my sandwich and pie. Henrietta kef.d. liool South High School, March 15, 1915. To The Tiger i A great deal has been said concerning the so-called crowded condition of South High. Now it is my opinion that this condition does not exist. Before we rush off and spend money rashly, we should stop to consider. In early youth the human frame is easily compressible, a fact not fully understood. There arc several hundred Freshmen at South, of tender years, who might be Battened out and laid in layers, thus accommodating hundreds in every room. Then they might be crowded into corners; it would jam them a little, but they are elastic and the strain on the walls of the building would be slight. The Seniors are more of a problem: they are older and more indexible: Still the Senior habit of staying out nights is well known, why not utilize it? By sending them to school from midnight to 6 A. M., the Juniors from 6 l M. till midnight, and the others during the rest of the day, natural tendencies would be cultivated and much would be gained in efficiency. As every student knows, too much space is given to teachers. Some of them have room to hang their hats! Teachers may be accommodated on the gasjets, which would render them easily conspicuous, give them a bird's eye view of the class, and enable them to stand for that intellectual illumination which they are supposed to represent. The art of balancing is readily acquired, and every well-balanced instructor is a distinct addition to the school. The lunch room is a menace. There is nourishment in ideas. At twelve o'clock let every teacher present the idea of beef steak and eggs to the class, it will take up no room, and be better for the digestion than so much Hershcy’s and ice cream. If these suggestions were acted upon. I am sure all problems would be comfortably solved. A Friend of South I Iigh. .4 Persistent Friend j HAD to pass his house every day on the way home from school, and there he stood, always ready to accompany me. I did not find him interesting; so we usually walked along in silence, but he seemed to take no offense at that, and the next day found him at his post. I le had worn the same suit of faded brown ever since I could remember, and as the winter grew into spring, it began to look shabby, while the fact that his collar was usually soiled did not trouble him. “Why do you always persist in following me? I asked one day sulkily, as he pushed into the house without an invitation. When he remained silent, I said, “Speak! Why don’t you speak?” Whereupon he sat up on his hind legs and said, “Bow wow!” Margaret Graham. H02] Fresh ielogues Just look at that hunch over there, With flowers and plumes on their hats; And Hurts and puffs and curled hair,— 1 thought girls were afraid of rats. When I was a lirst term Freshman. 1 tell you, I felt small; Hut when 1 saw the new ones, I really felt quite tall. Now who do you s’pose is that Senior Of proud and haughty demeanor? lie doesn’t say “How,” To the Freshmen now, Because he’s a dignified Senior. There are so many teachers. It keeps you in a stew; If I should have to name them all, I shouldn’t know what to do. Verna Ekhkrg. 1104| The Serious Side Mrs. Bucknam: What is Arthur Gunnarson doing now?

Mr. Byers: The Secretary of State, and so on down through the rest of the cabinet. Mr. Carlson: If they all died, who would get the job? Mr. Byers: The undertaker. Freshman Student to Mr. Carlson: Mr, Carlson, why did they “cut out” having debates? Mr. Carlson: Saul Yager and l.eon Nacht froze their hands and can’t talk. Mr. Carlson: If a man smashes a clock, can he he arrested for killing time? Mr. Yager: Not if the clock struck first.

II05J An Appreciation TO the people who are pleased with this publication, and to the pur-1 chasers who are under the impression that they were robbed in being separated from 50 cents in buying this book, let us say: “We have done our dirtiest.” We wish to thank our literary adviser for correcting and revising the many manuscripts, and by her censorship saving the “Tiger Board” from the expense of many libel suits, and the editors from broken heads. Printers’ ink anil the editors’ limited literary ability could not do Miss Mathias credit for her painstaking care and work in coaching the “Tiger Artists.” Credit must be given to Mr. Melvin Olsen for keeping the Tiger on a firm financial basis. Let us thank the room representatives, the contributors and purchasers of this book, without whose support the “Tiger would be an impossibility.
