Joseph Jorgrtts FOREWORD JOSEPH JORGENS 0tY this very moment, I am told, there are being built wonder-ships of the air rivaling Pullman cars in comfort and luxury.- hundred-mi les-an-hour planes that will span the ocean. There is secrecy now. but when the war is over, the “wings of the wind ' will be found to have been harnessed. We are on the verge of tremendous changes. A few years ago our magnificent state was a wilderness. Compared with the present, the world was a wilderness. The marvels of that time are now necessities. What of the next fifty years? How fortunate are you young people who are to behold these transitions! How fortunate are you who are to play a part in making things not yet dreamed of! My only regret is that I cannot turn time back twenty-five years and be in the game with you. In our little world at South, you are witnessing transformations not large, perhaps, but vital. For a long time the thought of our people has been to house the larger and better things in education. As the soul within grows, it shapes the material form. The completion of the new building is an outward expression of our growth. We leave the old and go into the new. But there will be other changes, for the invisible toiler works on, and in the course of time, builds dwellings more splendid than those before. It is the unresting quest for that which is the noblest and the best. SOUTH HIGH FACULTY, 1916 Principal— Joseph Jorgens Clerks— Minnie C. Hcrtzenberg Lila Martin Com m ercial— Arthur T.

It is to record the coming to South High of a spirit which has manifested itself during the past year, and which is an encouraging sign for the future. A YEAR OF PROGRESS Tills has been a year of progress. We have begun to realize that education is not merely getting knowledge, but learning to use it. As a result we have the Mock Congress, which is as good as a school in itself. Then there is the Inkpah Club, organized last year, which is beginning to make itself felt as a new power in school life. The language departments, too, arc coming into their own,—we have only to recall the novel and interesting Christmas program for proof of this. I he Norse play, and the French play are additional evidence of a new activity, both linguistic and dramatic. The bulletin board on the east landing is another new feature, and one that has been enthusiastically received. A SCHOOL WEEKLY Tins leads us to a consideration of the future. I'hc success of the bulletin board points to a long-felt want, which, it is hoped, shall be even more adequately filled by and by. The idea of starting a school weekly has taken root in the minds of many of the faculty as well as student body, and if the support of the whole school is forthcoming—as we think it is— South High will soon have its newspaper, l et us work for it. THE NEW LIBRARY Another cause for rejoicing is the new library, which will be located in the new addition. The library is the very heart of the school,—all the students meet here in the universal hunt for knowledge. I low they have been able to do so heretofore in such cramped quarters is a mystery, the only solution of which is the librarian, whose skillful handling of both books and pupils has made it possible. In the new library, however, her skill will find an ampler field, and the student will be encouraged in independent parallel reading, which is the true foundation of scholarship. FELLOWSHIP BETWEEN TEACHERS AND ST C DENTS Another helpful development is that of increased companionship between teachers and pupils. More teachers arc coming to the social affairs of the students, and their presence is appreciated. Nothing adds more to the value of school life than fellowship between the student body ami the instructors. f 91 ATHLETICS Last, but not least, comes the athletic department. A school that did not promote the physical development of its students would he unworthy of the name. South 1 Ugh is not such a school. The prospects for wholesome athletics are bright. We now have an athletic field which we hope soon to equip completely. The head of the athletic department is a man to whom we can well look with confidence. WHAT WE HAVE TRIED TO DO Tins year’s Tiger, as we have said, aims to reflect the idea of a new and progressive South I ligh. We submit it to our fellow-students with the confident hope that it will meet the approval anil support of all factions. Wc have attempted to make it a book that should contain something to suit the most varied taste; we hope we have provided something of interest to everyone; we hope we merit at least fair criticism from those whose praise wc may not be fortunate enough to gain. Whatever may be the fate of the Tiger, we send it forth with the wish that it may be to the Seniors a pleasant reminder of their last year here, and to the Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors, an inspiration as long as they shall attend South 1 ligh. Josef . . Kindwall. associate editor and I accordingly have endeavored to otter editorials containing suggestions for the underclassmen, who, in our opinion, should consider themselves a very important part of the school. PUBLIC SPEAKING The Boys' (dee Club, in holding its sessions during school hours, has adopted a system which at once suggests possibilities in other lines. For the last two years South I ligh has been without an interscholastic debating team, and we know a renewal of activity of this work would be welcomed by both students and faculty. It is our opinion that work in debate, oratory, and dramatics should be made an elective part of the course in Knglish. This was done to some extent in our fourth term classes; but to establish a class in public speaking is the best way to obtain results. The shyness exhibited in Mr. Carlson’s Civics classes causes him to favor the idea; the memory of many discouraging “first rehearsals” causes Mr. Hilgendorf to approve of such a class. An elective subject of this nature would soon develop a competent debating team. MORE LITERARY SOCIETIES It is also the opinion of several Seniors that more literary societies of the nature of the Inkpah Club would be popular activities. Since members of the student body have found that they are always welcome at the programs of this club, a decided interest has been developed in its l ioi work. The serious work that is being done by this society is noticeable in the school, and the school would welcome another such organization. STANDARD DESIGN FOR CLASS PINS The price paid by the two classes of this year for class pins was the occasion of an excellent suggestion from Mr. Jorgens. It is his idea that pins should be of a standard design for all graduating classes. I le suggests that this pin be purchased in large quantities from some local firm, and soli! to the students upon entrance into the Senior class. This is a fine idea, and would be a great financial saving to the classes. We who have just paid over two dollars for a gold pin which, according to Mr. Fisher's most delicate scales, does not weigh over a gram, sincerely hope that some class will cooperate with the principal to bring about this reform. A WORD TO THE SENIORS In conclusion, we say this to the Seniors: it has been our intention that this Tiger should recall only the pleasant side of our high school days; that in the years to come, when you turn to this book for an evening of reminiscences, it shall cause you to say. “Yes, I believe school days are the happiest days.” In this, the Tiger Board sincerely trusts it has carried out its purpose. A WORD TO THE UNDER-CLASSMEN To the under-classmen we say this: to you is entrusted the good name of South I ligh School. It is the wish of the classes of nineteen sixteen that the adoption of some of our suggestions, together with ideas of your own, may help to make South I ligh the best school in our city. Elmer V. I.eacii. SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL OLD SOUTH HIGH Marks’ Michelkt 7JT IK veterans revere the faded Hag, be it ever so tattered, bloodstained, and bullet-pierced, because it has led on to victory through the smoke of battles. So the sons anil daughters of Old South High love the old school, be it ever so rambling, furrowed, and weather-beaten; because it has been a vital factor in shaping their lives. Much comment has been made as to its unfavorable appearance, yet to many the old landmark with its tower and turrets has been a dear, familiar sight for nigh a quarter of a century, because it has ever been to them the outward emblem of signal achievements, steady efficiency, lofty ideals, and sturdy character. It might, therefore, be of interest to know something of the progressive strength and growth of this institution that we now honor. In the attic of the old historic Adams, in September 1885, I)r. C. M. Jordan planted the little acorn which grew up, flourished, and spread its branches manifold. We were a handful of boys and girls in that first class and daily tor three years did we climb the old, winding, wooden stairway which led us to our four class-rooms up under the eaves. Miss Craven, Miss Kerr, and Miss Watts, together with Dr. Jordan, the principal of the school, constituted the first South I Iigh faculty. Simplicity and frugality marked the meager facilities of our school life. The girls had calico or gingham pinafores and wore their hair in pig-tails down their backs; the boys had brass-capped boots and wore the then popular pompadour. The relation of teacher to pupil was closer and stronger than is possible in the big city high school of today. We had a literary society with the grand name ALitlit’liciin, and the members each wore hand-embroidered silk badges of terra cotta red and peacock blue. The meetings were held in the homes of the community and the members took turns in entertaining. Then came a day in the fourth year of our high school career when we had to leave our attic home, and, although we were going to a more pretentious building (the present Old Central), in a more pretentious part of the city, we did it much grieved at heart, being still loyal to Old South I Iigh. We were not received with open arms, coming as we did from South Town, but we seemed to make our way. I rom the OKI Grand Opera House, then on Sixth Street, we passed out into the world with our sheepskins. Years went by and still the youth of South I own patronized the “Attic” High School. Fortunate, indeed, for the South District that at this time it could boast of such public-spirited men as l rof. Sven )ftcdal, I Ion. Lars Swenson, and Rev. M. balk Gjcrtsen. It was through their indefatigable efforts that South Minneapolis was able to get a high school 11.11 building of her own. The first president of the Hoard of Education. the scholarly Prof. Sven Oftedal, has more than once told me the story of how he helped secure a high school for North Minneapolis that he might thus force the Board to give South Town an equal privilege. It was a hitter cold day, the Monday following the Christmas vacation in early 1893, that the new structure opened its doors for the first time. It was a memorable day in the annals of South High; it was an historical event in the history of South Minneapolis. Early on that morning the student body, then numbering 250, assembled for the last time in the old Adams. In procession, headed by principal and teachers (Miss Klampe still with us), they marched across lots, where but a few years before had been a cow-path leading across the prairie, to the new building on Cedar Avenue. I)r. Jordan had at the beginning of the school year assumed the Superintendency anil Prof. C. I.. Sawyer had been chosen principal of the new high school. South Minneapolis was proud of the new structure with its prepossessing tower, its spacious class-rooms, and its fine auditorium on the third floor, with a seating capacity of 996. Years passed. Prof. A. X. O .ias succeeded Prof. Sawyer. The school outgrew its domicile, and during his time a strip of the auditorium had to be sacrificed and made into class-rooms. In September, 1909, Prof. Joseph Jorgens came to fill the place vacated by Prof. Ozias. The congestion had now become so great that the remaining part of the auditorium had to be converted into class-rooms, green curtains strung on wires serving as partitions. What had formerly been a sorely felt need became an urgent demand. During that year, whenever the occasion demanded a mass-meeting, the student body assembled in the hall on the second Hoor, standing closely huddled together as packed sardines or seated on the floor in a seething mass. You may therefore imagine that there was true rejoicing when, in January live years ago, our present magnificent auditorium was first thrown open for the mid-year graduation, the manual training wing, and the commercial department having been put into use the previous September. Again the rapidly growing school is knocking at the door of necessity, asking for more breathing space. The towering walls to the South give assurance of the fulfillment of the promise. As the old school has stretched out in a vain attempt to keep pace with the spirit of the institution, so may each student help build upward, outward and onward, thus adding fresh laurels to Alma Mater. “Too low they build, who build beneath the stars.” I I 14 I ma VIEWS OF THE NEW ADDITION THE HIGH COST OF NEW CLOTHING Helen R. Fisii “Al’I’ORV of creation of world told in 300 words: try it, was the message received by a cub reporter who had wired his editor for more space. Cowed by like editorial warning, I undertake to compress the history of the new building to the space of one of its own bricks. When South I ligh was in its scrambling teens, the Hoard of Education wished to keep it still in short trousers, hut there were those who had a more manly vision. So the plan of “letting out by the addition of a few class rooms and an auditorium for 600 was changed to the long-trousered effect of an auditorium for 2,000, a lunch room, a gymnasium, commercial and manual training departments. 1 lardlv were the new clothes donned, however, than the lusty high school cried for more. Classes were dangling out of sleeves, halls bursting at the seams, pockets bulging with stray teachers. Still the Board, deceived by Mr. Jorgens’ skilful Gary system of pressing, pronounced the clothes a perfect lit. Moreover, they pointed out that there was no money, since East and West wanted shoes and Central must have a whole new suit. Southtown was roused. Mass meetings were held. Wires were kept hot and tempers too. Mr. Jorgens and the men of the faculty were oftener at the legislature than at school. Committees rose anil fell, “and some of ’em was brave, and some was not,” and at last when our pattern was chosen and the samples in our pockets— North High’s entire wardrobe burned! South I ligh must wait! We waited. Meanwhile, East and West, who had been put off with new neckties, began to clamor. It looked like a return to knickerbockers for everybody, until those who believed in better raiment renewed the light. They won. South I ligh’s $250,000 suit is even now being made. It is not beautiful, but as our mothers say, it is “strong and warm, and of a size befitting so tall a youth. I o those who know the history of the hopes, ambitions and struggles that went into its acquiring, it seems such stuff as dreams are made of. All right with thr world!” ( 16] Sec page IJ4, Nov. 12.

The Juniors, desiring to he represented as well as the other classes, answer the call. Last year they furnished more material than any other class for the football, baseball, track, gymnasium, and hockey teams, representing the Orange and Black. This class has succeeded in developing teams that are capable of winning from the upper and lower classmen. The third year class won the indoor and outdoor track meets, took second place in the indoor baseball this winter, and now lead in the basketball race. The combined work of such Juniors as John Carey, “Red” Swanson, Ross McRae, Russell Wcblen, “Ty” Abromovitch, and Norman Irgens in football; Arthur K. Anderson, Bernard Doheny, Broms, and Karl Anderson in baseball; Walter F.k, Milton Wick, Clarence Rebney, and Mulvahill in hockey; Hanson, Sam Ravitch, Arthur Henry, Ed. Nelson in gymnasium, anil ex-captain Max Rudoy and the others on the track team, carried off the honors of the school. Hoys’ Glee Club The Juniors in the past year were well represented in the Boys' Glee club. There were eleven Juniors making harmony in the Glee Club last term. The Carusos composed about one-third of the Club, a fact which goes to show the spirit and enthusiasm prevailing in the class. It is our duty, as we pass into our Senior year, to continue to represent the school in its different organizations, and we pledge ourselves to give everything we have to “Old South I ligh.” Juniors in l he Ink pub Club The Juniors played a prominent part in the activities of the Inkpah Club during the past year. They were well represented in the debates, declamations, and contests of the society, and splendid talent was found among the new members.

The social committee arranged a party for the 17th of March which from the standpoint of “class” eclipsed any social affair given in the gym for a long time. Other class functions are being planned, and now that this body of students has shown its capacity to work and play together successfully, many good times are anticipated. If the potential possibilities of this class can he judged by its many shining individual lights, great things can be prophesied for the future. A JUNIOR LEAP YEAR POEM Adapted by Amandia Vartual IVE careful, rapt attention. Oh, maidens, fancy-free: Here are golden leap-year chances That will make your sorrows flee. William Stiles has been so patient, Looking forward to this year: Now, if some girl would up and ask him. It sure would fill his heart with cheer. Walter Hratager's another As lonesome as he well can he: If you think he won’t get married. Just ask him once and see. Walter Johnson is a favorite. The girls all like him well. What foolish things these girls will do, You can’t most always tell. William Hoppe we’re assured Will prove an easy mark: But as he's rather bashful, You'd better ask him after dark. Kdward Nelson has no sweetheart As far as we can guess, Don't ask unless you mean it, For he'll surely answer yes. And then there’s David Kstling, You must not pass him by: The outlook may not be the brightest. Hut it always pays to try. And even Walter Ek For a leap-year girl doth sigh: As yet he’s young and flighty, Hut he’ll grow wiser by and by. Vernon Olson, our fat friend. Is not a match at which to scoff: Just speak one word, and he'll reward you With the smile that won’t come off. Carl Johnson is another Waiting long in Bachelor's Row; He’d accept you in a minute, Any one will tell you so. Mayer Hansen, don’t forget him, Freeze to him this very hour; He would make a model husband, True in sunshine and in shower. Paul Doclz, our treasurer. Is also in the race; Think it over—you’ll not miss it. He'll accept you with good grace. Harry Wiltsc is still longing, Watching still for one of you, And exclaiming in his anguish: “Oh Lord, anything will do!” Arthur C. Anderson is on the market, Says he wants a chosen mate; Nab him, girls, this very minute. Before it ever is too late. Hen Hcsslcr, patient Ben, For a handsome girl doth sigh: Just set your cake upon the window And he'll he yours by and by. Buford Swanson is still waiting; Let me give you girls a hunch: Whosoever gets this fellow, Will surely get a “Honey-hunch. Arthur Henry is another. And you'll agree he's not so old; Now, dear girls, you cannot miss, Because on you he’ll spend his gold. Harry Benson, always joyous, He smiles, and that with vim; But. girls, don't waste your precious time— He's got a girl, so don’t ask him. So all you girls of Old South High. Who chance to read this rhyme, The bachelors of this school Want you all to name the time. Now show them you can do it, The way is surely clear; Oct up your nerve and bear in mind, It’s quite a while till next leap-year. [76 1 [ 77 1 OWAISSA CLUB grill-, girls of I Room have formed an active and progressive club. This organization is composed of Sophomore girls who have already shown their willingness and general ability for club work. I he purposes of this club arc to become familiar with parliamentary rules, to promote the literary and social interests of the members, and in general to cultivate a personal interest in South High School. Tilt SOPHOMORE LIMITED CLUB Sophomore Limited Club was organized February 14, 1916, with a membership of lifty-six boys. All Sophomore boys of N Room and of P Room arc eligible to membership. r 781 The purpose of this Club is to get the fellows acquainted; to create a spirit of unity and loyalty; to increase the knowledge of the members in regard to various subjects; such as, “Wireless Telegraphy,” “hirst Aid to the Injured,” and “Modern Business Methods,” and to set forth better ideals of citizenship. The club meets on alternate Thursday evenings in N Room of South High School for a business session, followed by a program consisting of numbers given by the members, or of talks by prominent men of the city. A SOPHOMORES Adolph Singer, ’18 ftffllfE no longer feel a chill in our hearts as we think of school, for now we go calmly to our rooms instead of looking all over the basement for a room on the third floor. Those days arc far away, and we are now Sophomores. A Sophomores are not as insignificant as you might think. Look at Lief Larson. Didn’t he play like a star with the Sophomore basketball team against their opponents? Watch “Conny” I Ianson and Fred Gustafson and others and see how high they hold their heads over the fact that they made the football team in their second year out, and they have reason, for they took the coveted honor away from many Juniors and Seniors. We have some Sophomores in the orchestra; namely, Vernon Johnson, Willard Chalman, John Olson, and Lawrence Meyer. Ruth Lrhst, Merle Dalberg. and Helen Smith gave their beautiful voices to the Girls’ Glee Club, which already has made a name for itself. A few statistics in regard to our class may be interesting to some. The A Sophomores entered school this year, 243 strong—90 boys and 153 girls. Eighty registered for the general course, twenty-six for the Latin Course, three for Arts, three for modern language course, nineteen for home economics, thirty-three for manual training, and seventy-nine for the commercial course. B SOPHOMORES ftl’H numbers at the beginning of the second semester of 1916 were 213—84 boys and 129 girls. On account of the fact that we do not organize, we cannot present a glowing account of our achievements in any social way. I lowever, we believe that as a class we shall contribute our full share to the strength of the school when the time comes for fuller social, literary, and athletic activity. B Sophomores, as a class, favor the general course, which shows, undoubtedly, that they arc preparing for broad fields of endeavor. The commercial course is second in favor. Fourteen girls are taking the home economics course, and will very likely furnish fourteen happy homes with good cooks.

I he object of the club is enjoyment and the promotion of good fellowship among the girls. A FRESHMEN Bertha Berg, ’19 TITHE A Freshman class entered South High in September, 172 boys and 177 girls in number, all eager and expectant. Wc all felt a conscious pride that wc were going to high school, hut we also felt a secret dread as to what might he awaiting us. Those first few days were very strange and exciting to us, but soon that strangeness wore off, and we have entered now into the real life of the school. The Freshmen are just as enthusiastic over the football games as the upper classmen and wc have learned the school yells. Our enthusiasm would he still greater if we could have some society of our own. Wc hope to have such an organization before the close of the second term. B FRESHMEN Helen Bennett, ’20 TITHE B Freshmen entered South High on Monday morning, January thirty-first, 1916. No doubt, they all arose at six o’clock or earlier, dressed hastily, and rushed through all their morning duties: for that was a great day for every one of us. Judging from my own experience the first day, the pupils were all mixed up when it came to finding the different rooms. I suppose a large portion of them went up or down the wrong stairs, walked into wrong ( 21 rooms—some probably occupied by the awful presence of Seniors, and pestered them trying to find the key to what seemed a hopeless puzzle. There were about 141 girls and 122 boys who entered high school as Freshmen, representing the thirteen schools of the south district. The most popular courses among the boys are the general and the manual training; among the girls, the general and the commercial courses. Only a very few of the girls or boys have formed much of an idea of what they intend to do after graduation, although I hope many will go to the university. Those taking the commercial course, naturally are ambitious to become efficient stenographers, bookkeepers, etc. The boys taking the manual training course no doubt look forward to the time when they will become skilled mechanics. Whatever our final occupation, we are glad that we have taken the important step toward our goal by entering South I ligh. THE CONFESSIONS OF FRESHMEN First Impressions of South High 2|M1HKN I began high school, everything seemed new and strange. 1 was put in a room with many other Freshman boys. There were no girls in our room, which was advantage number one. When I went home, I went past the school from which I had graduated. I used to stop and talk with some of my old friends. They now asked me questions I iiM'il to � tnp and talk with old friend of high school life and I felt lots bigger when I could answer them. That was advantage number two. We had new books and new teachers, advantage number three. I liked my Freshman year on account of assembly time, when we went to the auditorium and listened to speeches and programs, advantage number four. —George Box. I S3) I was very happy the day I came into the auditorium of South I ligh, and saw my name on the list of pupils who were going to take the general course. In the high school I feel good, because I don’t have to line up and march to a room. In grade school I had books that belonged to the board of education, while in the high school I have my own books. —Roger Rydland. I like the auditorium periods and the liberty of the high school. —i IA RGA R ET C A R I.SON. The mass meetings in the auditorium arc great fun. —Eilef Halmrast. I was greatly surprised when I came to high school. I expected everybody to treat me with respect, but instead I was ignored and in some instances laughed at. The first day was the greatest surprise of my life. When 1 arrived at high school, I wondered where I should go, so I asked a dignified looking person where the Freshmen met. He said: “Run along, Freshic, don’t bother me. I could hardly believe my ears at being spoken to like that. Such was my humiliation that tears came to my eyes. I wandered along until I came to a large crowd of very green looking children. I asked one what the crowd was for. “ This is the Freshmen meeting,” she said; “you will get your cards here.” Just then I heard my name called off. I rushed forward and received my card. I was told to go to I. room across the hall. I will not tell the bad time I had finding this room. That night when I crawled into bed, I thought how much I had yet to learn anil decided that it was not all fun being a Freshie. —Marion Scott. One of the things I like about high school is that we change rooms for classes. Another thing I like is that we have gymnasium, cooking and sewing. I like the nice, large auditorium and the programs. But one thing I liked better in grade school was that 1 learned to know all the teachers. —Esther Hartman. I LIKE high school, because I have more liberty. I don’t like to march in line like a soldier. I like the programs in the auditorium. 1 lere a pupil can choose his own course of study, too. It would add to the enjoyment of the Freshmen if they could have some clubs as Juniors and Seniors have. —Ralph Gilbertson. I LIKE high school because of being put on my own responsibility. If I want to do a thing, I can go ahead and do it as long as it is right. —Ruth Adsem. iikc°i� cooVin ' I REMEMBER the first morning I came here, how wonderful everything seemed! How wonderful that we could all go to a beautiful big school like South High! The first time I entered the auditorium, I thought I must be entering an opera house. The thing that caught my attention ww A Tf r� umr to my cy .' C«J‘P I 4 ] was the freedom and happiness of the students passing in the halls. When I went to grade school, we marched in rows like prisoners. —Anna Stf.rn. In South I ligh the two higher grades, Seniors and Juniors, have clubs and other organizations in which they have a good time, while the Freshmen and Sophomores arc deprived of that good time. If they could have some of their own clubs in the school, there would be more enthusiasm; it would also make high school life seem much better to the poor Freshmen and Sophomores. —Max Osman. Everything went line on my first day in high school and turned out just the opposite of what I had expected. One smart “Freshie who had been in one term told me to take the elevator to the tenth Boor to reach the gymnasium. It was my turn to laugh when I told him I would alter he had built it for me. I Ie was some peeved when he saw he was outwitted. —Esther Hoey. There are great disadvantages in being a Freshman. Seniors look down upon, laugh and make fun of the poor Freshman, especially the lirst day of school. The teachers, too, are amused by us, for we are not dignified as arc Seniors and Juniors. But how on earth can we help it. We are only Freshmen. I shall never forget my first day in South High. I was supposed to go to room twelve, but I searched for it in vain. I had been warned not to ask anything of Seniors, as they would want to act cute, and I be led into danger. I determined to ask a teacher. “Say, can you please tell me where room twelve is? “Do not say ‘say’ to me! she answered. I turned and Bed down the long hall and finally found room twelve myself. —Laura Anderson. Baseness of Upper Classmen When I started high school, the first thing I did was to go to a Senior and ask for help. He saw my new shoes, put me down as a Freshman, and started to mislead me. He told me to go to the basement, wait for the elevator, and get off at the third Boor. I did what he said, but might be waiting yet for that elevator. I asked another Senior who was worse than the first. A teacher at last told me where to go. I was thirty minutes late for my first class. I thought of the fun the Seniors had and said to myself, “Just wait till I’m a Senior! —Jacob Lobell. uy Say lo me! One thing that makes the “Frcshies dislike school the first week is that they do not know the building. To me it seemed cruel. I could not find V room so I asked a Senior or a Junior. He sent me to the basement. I went there but could not find it. As he was a very good friend 1 5] of mine, I did not think he would tell me the wrong floor, hut you can not trust even a good friend when he wants to have a laugh. —Ingkborg Dahl. Freshmen Ambi iions My great desire is to become an actress. When I tell elderly friends that I wish to become an actress, they laugh at me anil tell me that I would soon change my mind after having been a month or two behind the curtain. But in spite of all they say, (although I know it is true) I wish and wish over again to become an actress. I have acted out parts in small dramas at grade schools, such as “Mrs. Cratchit” in “The Cratchit Family’s Christmas Dinner,” and an old lady me of Sh speare’s plays. —V. M. in Rip Van Winkle.” I have also taken part in some of Shake 1 DO not care to be a great statesman, doctor, actor or soldier.

You may say that this is odd, but it is the truth. A teacher who is too wise thinks the students should get and understand the lesson the first time. A teacher who is not so bright remembers her weak points and can help out the poor student. This is the kind of a teacher I like, as 1 said before. I wish we could sec more of this kind, and I hope in the future the Board of Education will appoint such as these. I do not want a suffragette for a teacher. —A Freshman. I 6 1 I fere a Teacher If I were a teacher, I would not overwork my pupils with home work. I would treat all pupils the same and try to be kind to them so that they would all enjoy coming to my class. I would try to he jolly and tell a joke once in a while. If all teachers followed these directions, I am sure the pupils would enjoy going to class and studying lessons. I also think if a person is going to he a teacher she should make a life work of it. A Gentle Teacher A TKACHEK who is gentle is the kind I like—one who is not too strict and who does not give lessons from one to six pages in length. I do not want a llashy dresser for a teacher. I think a teacher should wear comfortable shoes, because she cannot teach well if her shoes hurt. I do not like a teacher who is glum and cross all the time. Hints to English Teacher A good teacher, to my way of thinking, is one who explains things and docs most of the talking. I mean that a teacher should he able to crack a joke often. I want a teacher to answer the pupils’ questions at as great length as possible to take up time. I like a lady teacher to change her dress at least once a week. I like a good looking teacher. Knglish teachers who give long grammar lessons are not liked. The kind of teacher whom I approve is one who does not rave, storm, and try to scare knowledge into a fellow without first explaining. AUDITORIUM 1 7 J IOEBOTFE A MODERN ORPHEUS Bertha Brili,, ’16 “JWMHAT passion cannot music raise and quell?” quoted James, who was studying Dryden's poem, ‘‘On St. Cecelia's Day.” “Indeed.” answered his father, “the influence of music is powerful. That sentence, James, brings hack memories of years ago. You were then but a small boy. It was a narrow escape,” he said, puffing away on his pipe. “Oh, Daddy, do tell us about it! begged eager little Anne. “Please, Daddy, tell us about it!” “To be sure I will, child. Nothing could please me more. It was early November. Gibson and I were on a hunting trip. VYc were not veteran hunters by any means. We had but one gun between us, an old muzzle loader,—Gibson carried it—a few necessaries for the camp, and a tiny mouth-organ that you made me carry along, James, so that I wouldn’t forget you. Queer what notions children have! “Did I really, Dad? Guess I can’t remember! “Well,” the father continued, taking another puff, “after we hail put up our tent, we tramped through the thickly wooded district. “Oh, Daddy,” broke in Anne, “not where the big bears live?” “No, little girl, no bears in those woods,” he assured her, “but, when we reached the thickest part. I saw but ten feet away from us a large moose. He was the most ungainly creature I’d ever seen. He stood about six feet high, had a hump on his back and a hairy pouch hanging from his neck. His antlers were about as broad as my riHe is long, very r hm i pointed and tierce-looking. Gibson was eyeing the moose. Before I could find what he meant to do, I saw him level his gun and shoot.” “Kill it?” cried Anne. “No, but the moose was angered anti pained by the shot. He lunged toward us. Gibson ran for the camp. I'oo bewildered to reason, I ran deeper into the woods. “With the fleetness of his kind, the moose ran toward me. I had no weapons with me. With a lightning glance my eye swept the wood in search of a tree in whose branches I might find a refuge. I ran, but the moose ran too, sending forth a furious bellow.” The children held their breath. Their expressions were tense. “Oh, Daddy,” shrieked the child, “weren't you awful fraid?” “Don’t be always interrupting, Sis! said her brother. “Fright blinded me. My ears were ringing with the loud cry of the moose, with the sound of his hoofs beating fast behind me. I lad Providence made no provision for my rescue? Was my fate already sealed? These questions came to me. Panting and covered with a cold sweat, 1 scrambled up the tree. Just as I reached its highest branch. I reali ed my mistake: the tree was too small, too slender.” “Some awful fix you were in, Dad. The tree didn’t break, did it?” interrogated James. “Still bellowing, the moose, reaching the foot of the tree, beat his hoofs angrily against it. The tree was shaking. What could I do? No one to call to. No weapons at hand. Death was inevitable. The moose was determined to revenge his wrath on some one. “Bet you thought it was your last day, with the tree shaking and the moose so close,” James said. “I thought of mother and of you, my boy. Suddenly an idea came to me. I took out the mouth-organ and began to play. I do not remember now how long I played, but when my eye fell on the moose his full, wild eyes were calmed; he looked up at me, as if loath to leave. Seeing that it soothed his ruffled feelings, I played on.” “Dili you play ‘Flow Gently, Sweet Afton,’ Daddy?” whispered Anne. “Shouldn't wonder if I did. I played softly all the familiar melodies that surged one after the other through my memory. The moose grew calmer. Still playing, I came down the swaying tree, 1 walked toward the camp—the moose following me. I dared not run. I dared not stop playing. I could only hope and pray. Nearing the camp, I saw Gibson standing in its door-way. Would he shoot? I prayed his hand would be stayed, and played on.” “Was the moose still following?” asked Anne, trembling with fear. “I turned to see. He was slowly, but quietly returning to the woods. I uttered a prayer of thanks and put the precious mouth-organ back into my pocket. Then I ran, stumbling, to the camp.” (89 ] “Yes, he said thoughtfully, leaning hack, “Dryden was right, my boy. And Shakespeare—didn't he say something about animals having ‘Their savage eye turn’d to a modest gaze By the sweet power of music’?

[• 0] ONE MIDSUMMER NIGHT Ruth Erbst, ’18 IjT was soft anti balmy, and the moon was full. I he little canoe drifted idly on the moonlit waves, while the soft strains of a distant violin fell upon their cars. “Are you sure, Gladys, that you have enough pillows? asked Kenneth anxiously. “Oh, yes, a great plenty,” sighed the maiden gazing dreamily across the moon-flecked wavelets; “1 am very comfortable.” Why shouldn't she be? She had all the pillows piled around her, while Kenneth was trying to protect himself from the ribs of the canoe with his coat. “Isn’t this a glorious night.” he mused; “the lake—the sky—the soft strains of sweet music—” “Oh, Kenneth, how sentimental you are! Really, that sounds like Lorenzo's speech, replied the girl, and, dropping her hand into the water, she continued, “1 low deep it looks down there in that dark green water. Wouldn’t I hate to be in it now! I wonder it the lishes ever get tired of swimming.” “Why,” laughed her companion, “they delight in it as much as I do.” “I. of course, love swimming, but that water looks too deep and dark for me—o-o-o-h!—how deep—She shuddered. “You may have my coat, Gladys,” quickly spoke Kenneth and then sank back and gazed up at the moon. “Well, I wouldn’t, cried the girl hastily in order to keep his attention from that Magic Maker of Dreams, “if I—hail the distinction you have. “Oh, you have heard of it then! “Only a word or two. Tell me!” urged the girl impatiently. “It was nothing, said Kenneth shyly, “only the water was cold and the cakes of ice were big—well, the woman had reached the current and it was rapidly carrying her towards the falls, when—” “Oh! interrupted Gladys, “weren't you frightened? “I should say not,” continued our hero enthusiastically; “I pulled oft my coat and plunged in. I reached her after a great struggle and just as she was about to sink. I caught her like this....” But Gladys was a little too quick for him, and the canoe a little too shaky. Soon with her mouth full of water she spluttered: “Kenneth! .... Save me!... . save me ! When the girl reached the shore, she found Kenneth lying exhausted on a heap of pillows which he had succeeded in bringing to shore. “Good night, Mr. Graham, and thank you so much for the lovely dip you gave me into such pleasant water—” she paused for breath. “A hero, indeed! You couldn’t save the life of a cat! As for—” here she I 91 i broke off disgustedly. . . .“You didn’t try to save me, but thought more of those pillows of yours! But, Gladys, I—” anxiously pleaded the crestfallen youth. I will take no excuses! If I hadn’t been a member of the Girls’ Athletic Association and as good a swimmer as you—you might have had to account for a funeral to-morrow. With that she turned on her heel and left him to his reflections. THE LOST THOUGHT Joshua Stone, ’16 HEN scribbling late one night, I happened to alight On the happiest thot I’ve thot for many a year. 1 hailed it with delight, But ere I'd time to write, My pencil had contrived to disappear. Where could the thing have gone? I searched and searched upon The table and beneath it and behind it. I pushed my books about. Turned my pockets inside out. But no matter where I looked I couldn't find it. Then I searched and searched again On the table, but in vain. And fussed and fumed and sputtered. At last, upon my soul, I lost my self-control And shame to say I uttered Language juitc unfit to hear. Till out of breath—1 gasped. Then clutched my head—and grasped That pencil calmly resting on m car! Yes, I found that pencil stub! But my thot—Aye, there's the rub! Now in vain I try to call it back again. It has fled beyond recall, And, what is worst of all, 'Twill soon turn up in some other fellow’s brain. So I denounce forthwith Any future Jones or Smith. Who thinks my thot—a plagiarist of the worst. I shall know that thot again When 1 hear it, and it's plain It must be mine because I thot it first. SCHOOL OR NOT? Arthur Palmer, M9 7fT was a perfect day in June; the skies were blue, and the sun shone brightly; the grass was growing, anil dandelions were blossoming near, —such a day as Lowell had in mind. On this day, before the sun had reached its height, thousands of girls and boys went forth joyously from school to begin a long summer vacation. Our story concerns a young lad who was among those leaving school upon that beautiful morning. The occasion, to him, seemed to be a more serious one than it did to his school friends. As he was walking down the street, another boy stepped up to him and punched him in the ribs, exclaiming: “What’s the matter, Steve? Don’t you realize that this is the last day of school? “That is exactly the point, Frank. replied Steve; “I’ve just about made up my mind that this is my last day of school. I’-’J “No-o-o-o. you’re just kiddin’ me—you're not going to quit after you have gone three years to high school? questioned Frank, in a serious voice. “Well, Frank,” continued Steve, “to put it in a nutshell, this manual training course in the high school is not practical. We are pushed through a lot of new work, from cabinet making to the machine shop. We don’t learn any one line; we get only a hazy idea of it, and it doesn’t pay. You see everybody specializes in some certain line of work; it’s the only way to make money now-a-days.” “Say, cut out all that stuff! interrupted Frank; “I’ve got a hunch that you need someone to give you a good lecture! Arc you really going to quit school, learn a trade, and become a wage-earner, to he bossed by somebody else all your life? Or, arc you going to go through school, get an education, and be the boss yourself?” “Well,” resumed Steve, “you’re a good talker, but I don’t get your drift. I’ve thought this thing out for some time. Instead of camping this summer. I’m going to work and try out my scheme. Just then the Cedar car, for which Steve had been waiting, arrived, and the boys parted. Two weeks had elapsed, arul Steve had spent most of it in looking for work. As there were a great many boys looking for work at this time of the year, he had thus far been unsuccessful. As a matter of fact, he was becoming just a little bit discouraged. At the beginning of the third week Steve decided, as a last resort, to go out to the Twin City speedway, which was in course of construction. Steve arrived at the speedway on such a morning as we have previously described. From an adjacent hill, he stood looking at the great project in the course of construction. There before him he saw the cow-pasture and fields of early Ohios being turned into a wonderful speed course, over which in but a comparatively short time the world’s most daring speed demons would race with death. There were hundreds of men to be seen, all busy at work; there were mighty steam shovels scooping away hillsides; there were little donkey engines tooting and running hither and thither, pulling as many as twenty dump-cars apiece, filled with dirt; there were hundreds of horses hauling in material, day and night. In the center of the two-mile oval track which was being constructed, there was a little city of tents and temporary shacks, which included cook-houses, store-houses, bunk-houses, barber shops, a blacksmith shop, and stables. The afternoon found Steve in workman’s clothes, carrying two large pails of water to a cement mixer, for sixteen cents per hour, ten hours a day—one dollar and sixty cents. After deducting seventy-five cents for three poor meals, he finally cleared eighty-five cents a day. This sort of programme was not exactly what Steve had been accustomed to. It began to make him think. Nevertheless, he stuck. I le always kept his eyes open, never complained, and made a friend of everyone. On the morning of the third day, the time keeper was crediting Steve twenty cents an hour, as he was running a cement mixer. After two weeks’ work, Steve’s wages were again raised. I le was now boss of (w i the construction crew. He utilized his knowledge of mechanical drawing in reading the blueprints of the different parts of the construction work; in fact, his general high school education came in handy at every turn. Steve worked hard all summer. I le became muscular and tanned in body, and broader in mind, for he had taken a trip to the outside world, and viewed it as it really is. As Steve was going to his first period class on the first tlav of school, he spied Frank. At the same instant Frank spied Steve. Gradually a broad grin came over each face. As they passed each other, Steve said: “Well, I’m back.” “So I sec. said Frank, as he passed to his class. ON WASHINGTON AVENUE George Moore, ’17 3||AVE you ever stood on the corner of a crowded street and theorized r c on the disposition anil the character of the people as suggested by their appearance? I stood one day on Washington avenue where every one—rich or poor—has occasion to pass while going to the unfortunately located post office. It was six o’clock and the streets were filled with multitudes of people. I found, from the people that passed, representatives of four distinct classes which conditions have made. I le whom I saw leaning idly against a wall with his hands thrust into his pockets well represented the flotsam of this world of ours. I le is the wrecked and worthless trash of humanity, probably wifeless and jobless. He has no bright hopes for the future, no goal for which to strive, no ambitions which will unfold new life in the days to come. He is on the path which leads in but one direction. And who is responsible for his condition? Perhaps it is his own laziness and shiftlessness, or perhaps it is the system which bred him. And this man with the signs of hard, menial labor on his tattered clothes and the dejected look on his wrinkled and careworn face is the one who sacrifices all to gratify his master’s selfish lust tor gold. He is but one of the great mass of toiling millions whose sweat and strength produce the wealth of the world. I le is the industrial slave of the twentieth century. 1 le seems to know nothing of God’s world, for all about him is the grime and sin of man’s world—even the earth is hidden from his sight by the pavements on the streets. And he whom I saw riding through the streets in his limousine is another type. His face was clean shaven and he had the keen, crafty look of the ambitious egotist. I le is probably a mill owner, a factory owner, an owner of some industry, conservative in politics and opposing reform. Does he not see the starvation about him? Is he blinded willfully or ignorantly to the suffering around him? She who came last seemed to me the mother of America. Her simple beauty was radiant with the pureness and goodness within her. She walked with dignity and poise, but not with the air of superiority as do the ( 94 1 vain. It is her mission to keep men from going astray in sin and iniquity, for she is their lasting companion and guiding light. She has affection for the ones about her; she shares their sorrows and privations, their pleasures and ambitions, uniting all into harmony. liver hopeful, ever kind, noble in spirit and in thought—she is the goodness of the world!

THE NEW SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL DICTIONARY Frederic Newton, M6 TJN order to keep pace with the spirit of progress in South High it has been deemed advisable to publish a compilation of the terms used and heard in connection with our student life. Webster’s vocabulary is inadequate to the needs of the up-to-date high school; hence this volume. To explain fully the aims and scope of this stupendous work would be impossible. Suffice it to say, that it is controlled by the three great rhetorical principles, unity, muss and coherence. (O may they never perish from the earth!!) Its purpose is threefold: first, to furnish the Freshmen with a specific, concrete, comprehensive collection of South High terms. Perhaps the present Seniors recollect what bitter humiliation they suffered as Fresh- 195] men owing to their ignorance of the expressions used by the erudite Senior; N second, to further enlighten the Faculty, who in their preoccupation often forget that new words are coming into our language; third, to assist upper classmen who come from other high schools to enter at once into our student life.

MY TIGER Myrtle Hopf, '16 NE EVENING 1 sat reading in my study all alone: Growing tired, 1 began to think of friends that 1 had known; And so I took my Tiger from its high and dusty place, And gazed upon the features of each familiar face. Back again in fancy to my high school days I went, And over all the records of class-parties then I bent; And I felt no twinge of conscience to deny me any rest. As 1 recalled the failures that they caused in many a test. In fact, to speak in earnest, I believe it adds a charm, To flavor happy, care-free days with a little hit of harm. Again I hear the rooting at that famous South-East gan When our valiant C aptain Hoppe was numbered with the lame. But ahl my dream is broken by a step upon the stair, And 1 close too soon the cover on those faces young and fair. Although memory is failing, yet I have no need to fear That I’ll forget my high school friends while 1 have my Tiger near. “Record of data partin'' 1 7 1 OOTbALL a Frederic R. Newton, ’16 ftOW that wc have a new coach, and a new era of school life is opening to us, it may be of special interest to the readers of the Tiger to look into the past and see what South I Iigh football teams have done. The following shows the record in the Minneapolis High School Football League since Mr. Jorgens became principal: 1909 - -- -- -- - Second place (Clumps until last 5 minutes of play, when some one fumbled.) 1910 - -- -- -- - Third place 1911 - -- -- -- - Champions 1915.............. 1912................. (Tic with North.) m.t.................. ('l ie with North.) 1914................. - - - Third place Champions Third place Second place The average thus shown gives South 2 1-7 place. We congratulate ourselves that at no time have we held the cellar position, and that we have turned out as many all-star men as any other local high school. The football teams of the school, moreover, have always been composed of young men holding creditable places in the class room as well as on the field. The 1915 football team, although organized under adverse conditions, was a success. The outlook at the beginning of the season was indeed gloomy, on account of the losses of experienced players by graduation. Coach Jones and his assistant, 11. E. Griebcnow, beginning their first season at the school, faced a difficult proposition when they attempted to build up a team able to cope with the other veteran elevens. Ihe second squad this year was especially large. Just as good steel is necessary for a good knife, so the second team is necessary in order that the first team may reach the goal for which it strives. Tlit' Souih-U'al Gome The schedule opened on October 2nd with a game against West. I he result, 59 to 0 in favor of West, tells the story. The West side team, composed largely of a 1914 squad, was considered the strongest machine in the high school conference; consequently, our defeat was not entirely unexpected. The defeat revealed the true condition of the team—they lacked knowledge of the very rudiments of the game. Peterson was the only South man who starred. t VX] The South-Central Came On October 22, after several weeks of hard training. South came back with old time vigor and defeated her old rivals, the Central eleven, by a 13 to 7 score. With Captain Hoppe carrying the brunt of the offense, South made the Central left line the target for attack. The work of the South line, which up to this time was considered woefully weak, was one of the features of the game. Captain Hoppe was the individual star. Neither team scored during the first quarter. In the second quarter Captain Hoppe and Swanson worked the ball down to the twenty-third yard line. Swanson made a pass to Carey, who scored a touchdown. Carey failed to make a good punt-out and consequently South did not kick goal. Score: 6 to 0. After several minutes of play in the third quarter, Carey punted to Central’s left half-back, who dropped the ball. Peterson regained the pigskin and ran for a touchdown. South kicked goal. Score: 13 to 0. In the final quarter, Central used more open tactics and tried several forward passes. After several successive gains, Central scored her first and only touchdown in two seasons. Central kicked goal. Final score: 13 to 7.' The South-North Game Sot i'll sprang a surprise on the confident North team when they defeated it by a 7 to 3 score, October 30. In this game, North by no means belittled her reputation of former years. I he victory was due to the ■‘fight to the last minute” spirit which is typical of any team trained by the untiring efforts of Coach Jones. South with the lead to her credit, formed an impregnable stone wall through which the blue and white offense could not penetrate. Nelson was easily the man at the helm, although the work of I loppe, Carey anil Swanson was worthy of note. A play of great ingenuity was performed by Nelson when he caused North to fumble by breaking up her play. Carey grabbed the ball and ran for a touchdown. Nelson kicked goal. Score: 7 to 0. In the second half, North moved in the direction of its goal only to be held back by the wearers of the Orange anil Black. During the last few minutes of play, North made a drop kick for her only count, l inal score: 7 to 3. The South-East Game The final game of the season took place on November 12 with Fast. Bulging with confidence, due to the victories over Central and North, visions of a tie championship with East came to us; but as the day for the big game drew near, we had good reason to change our minds. I he Fast machine was the result of three years’ work under Coach Batchelder, Fast having twice as many veterans as South, and every man in his place for this game. South presented a crippled line-up. Captain I loppe and [991 ( 100 1 SOUTH IIICII FOOT-BALL TEAM. 191b Si verson Peterson Dudley Jones (Coach) McRae Irgens Swanson Carey Olson Johnson Kubias Hoppe (Capt.) Anderson Gustafsen Libby Abromovitch Wcblcn several other players were not in the best of condition. Then on the eve of the game came the news of Raymond Ecklund's broken leg. This seemed to dishearten the boys, and it was not the usual South team that lined up against East at Nicollet Park. Nelson, Hoppe, Swanson, and Peterson played the best game for South. East was first to count, scoring 13 points in the lirst quarter. In the second quarter South began to appear dangerous. East punted on its own 40-vard line. Peterson blocked the kick and recovered the ball, carrying it to the one-yard line. 1 lere 1 loppe carried the ball over. Swanson kicked goal. Score: 13 to 7. South went into the game with more spirit in the second half, anil for a time it looked as though she would overcome East’s lead. But when Captain I loppe was forced to retire on account of an injured leg. the team went to pieces. With a crippled team such as South had for this game, Hoppe’s loss meant too much green team without a leader. Our only count in this half was the result of a pass from Swanson to Nelson. Final score: 40 to 13. tkS MEN OPPE, Nelson, Peterson, Kubias, Carey, Swanson, Anderson, Earnest Johnson, Dudley, McRae, Ecklund, Weblen, Irgcns.

South’s record has been splendid. During that time, sometimes laboring under the most depressing conditions, she has won two championships and has tied for a third. 1 his is remarkable when one considers that during that period she has had three or four different coaches. This frequent change would have a demoralizing effect upon almost any team, hut despite this handicap, she has emerged with great honor from that period. From now on we expect to have a stable system of coaching and still hope to have a winning team. The following record summarizes results since 1910: First in 1910. Second in 1912. 'Fie (Cent.), 1914. First in 1911. Second in 1913. 500% in 1915. The lineup: Byers...............«• • Smith...............p. Moriarity (Capt.) - - 3rd Holland ------ p. Peterson ------ 1st Tuttle ------ p.

Baseball During l.ast Season The work of the baseball team during the past season was a success as far as winning games was concerned, South having won four out of eight games played. But, through an error in management, the team was not allowed full credit in the percentage column. This was unfortunate as South has need of every athletic honor she can get, and we sincerely trust that such an oversight on the part of the management will not happen again. The team, after getting its bearings, played as good a game as any in the city, and if a pitcher can be found, the prospects for a championship team this spring will be bright. The following are South’s 1915 scores: South 4 - - - East 3 South 9 - - - East 3 South 6 - - - West 7 South 1 - - Central 3 South 2 - - - Central 4 South 11 - - North 0 South 8 - - - North 9 South 2 - - - West 0 I ioj l QfLTHOUGH hockey has been played among the students of the school for a number of seasons, it was not until the early winter of 1915 that sufficient interest was taken in the game to organize a team which could uphold the reputation of the school in the Minneapolis High School I Jockey League. At the time of this writeup the season has just opened and. consequently, it will he impossible to give an account of the results of the schedule. Judging from the standard set by our new team in the only game thus far played, which resulted 4 to 3 in favor of North, and from the enthusiasm shown by the players, the future of a team is assured. What the team’s percentage may be with reference to the other high schools is of minor importance. The sport will be firmly established at the close of the season, and with a coach such as Mr. Jones we need not worry as to the next season’s success. M. I lanson, Mulvehill, and Ek are the probable successors of Captain Sandy, Bondy, and Larson, who will graduate in January. The entire new squad will he back next fall, not only to sustain the record of South I Iigh, but to make history for their Alma Mater in this our new branch of athletics. The South-North Gum e The South-North hockey game resulted 4 to 3 in favor of North. The Polaris seven was composed largely of veterans, while this was South’s first appearance. To quote a critic, “The game was probably the most hotly contested game ever played here by high school teams.” The first half ended 2 to I in favor of North. In the second half, the team seesawed up and down the ice and were tied with a score of 3 to 3 until the last few minutes of play when North put over the winning point. Bondy was the individual star of the game, although the work of Captain Sandy, Larson, and Doheney was very creditable. I hc South defense did not show the best of form. The lineup: Larson ----- Left wing Rover ------- Bomle Sandc ------ Right wing Point ------- Rebncy Doheney ------ Center Cover-point ... - Wcblcn Wick Goal 7f' IAT South I ligh is broadening her activities in interscholastic athletics is shown by the fact that during the last year there has been developed an enthusiastic interest in the game of tennis. L ntil recently South High has not taken much interest in this game. Four years ago we were represented in the interscholastic tennis tournament by Wilfred Widen, Rudolph Logefeil, and Farrand Stranahan. We have hail no representatives from that time up to 1915. Last year, however, an interclass tournament was held, in which about twenty-six students took part, and from these was selected the school team. Those composing the school team which later represented our school in the interscholastic tournament were Maurice Gjesdahl, Paul Gjesdahl, J. I). Holtzermann, and Clarence Draves. This being the first year of our renewed activity in this line. South was unable to make any points in the tournament, but the interest has been awakened and the sport established. The players have been carefully coached by Mr. Greenwood, and it is said that through his efforts the South I ligh athletic Held is to be equipped with tennis courts for next season. GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Hazel Wicklund, ’16 TV WV. Girls’ Athletic Association of South I ligh School was organized September, 1914. Its purpose, according to the constitution, is “to promote interest in the gymnasium and in out-of-door sports as a means of recreation and of securing the physical development, health anil friendship of its members.” This quotation is sufficient to explain what the G. A. A. has accomplished, in part, at least. Let us see how it has been done. A certain day of the week is set aside for folk-dancing and gymnastics; another day for interclass baseball or volley-ball, and still another for outdoor sports. The first three of the foregoing need no explanation since the “word suggests the deed.” The last, however, the outdoor sports, is conducted in various ways. In the fall and spring, the hare-and-hound chases, ending [ 105 i in wiener anil marshmallow roasts, and the hikes form a great part of the amusement and recreation as well as a means of physical training and development. In the winter, one day a week is set aside for skating, the healthiest of all winter sports, and now and then a sleigh ride. One interesting feature illustrating the work of the (J. A. A. was the spring festival at Northrop Field, June 4. 1915, consisting of folk-dances, drills and marches, in which South High carried off a share of the honors. This is to be an annual festival. In our plans for the coming year we expect to branch out into tennis tournaments, field hockey, swimming classes, and week-end camping trips.

In the twenty-four instruments there are fifteen violins, two clarinets, one cornet, one string bass, one cello, one mellophone. one trombone, one flute, anil a piano. The string section has progressed greatly, while the wind section is doing splendid work in spite of the handicap of limited numbers. Music is coming into its own as witnessed by the fact that credits are given for orchestra work. General and arts course students who play a weekly two-hour rehearsal with the orchestra, practice seven hours a week at home, and take a half-hour lesson upon their instruments each week, and besides play with the orchestra whenever called upon, are given two credits a year. One credit is given to those who fulfill the above requirements except as to the private lesson. As yet, these orchestra credits count only for graduation, but we hope that arrangements will soon be made to have them accepted by the university as entering credits. The orchestra may be said to have reached its climax in the concert given Friday, February 18. Its two numbers, the “War March of the Priests,M and the “Light Cavalry” overture, were played with splendid spirit and effect, and the warmest words of praise have been uttered by those who have spoken of the performance. Although the orchestra is a changing body, students coming and going, yet an esprit de corps is felt within the organization, which gives it a certain dignity and is conducive to earnest work. I he two-hour grind every [ 107 j Wednesday afternoon tends to eliminate the undesirables. An orchestra which is to render adequately the infinite beauties of real music must be composed of musicians who arc not content merely to rehearse once a week, but who apply themselves to an intensive study of their orchestra music at home. Then the rehearsal becomes, not a grind, but the means of achieving the perfection of harmonious action in the ensemble based upon the individual’s expression. Hut no high school orchestra can be permanently the best without the aid of the graduates and others not members of the student body. An orchestra depends for its many different color effects upon many rare and unusual instruments. Oboes, Hnglish-horns, piccolos, violas, and some others are difficult to obtain, and on cannot learn to play them in a day, no matter how willing the student nor how excellent the teacher. When a good performer on one of these orchestral instruments is found, we should hold him for years after he leaves the school. Members of the faculty and their friends should join our ranks on special occasions. In other words, this should become a community orchestra, with regular evening rehearsals, made up of students and others in the neighborhood, who have a desire to keep alive their talents and to further the cause of music. This increased interest in the orchestra is but another phase of the progressive spirit in our school, which the Tiger emphasizes this year. The orchestra has done much, hut it is yet a long way from the goal; it will not fail to reach that perfection and efficiency which is possible if it is given continued support and interest. Our goal is an organization that not only can play solo numbers artistically, but also furnish an ap propriate accompaniment to other musical organizations and soloists who appear. Minneapolis is destined to become a great music center. Let us keep pace with the march of events; let us hope for great things from our orchestra, and then work for the realization of our hopes. Chorus At last our goal is reached; our dream is realized. Four years ago when chorus work was permanently established in the South High, Mr. Jorgens announced that he hoped to see the time when, by gradual development, the chorus class would include Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, lie has lived to sec that day. The class has accomplished wonders. In March, an assembly of all the chorus classes and the orchestra presented a concert for the faculty and post graduates. Under the direction of Miss Stringham, the chorus has undertaken the cantata, The Swan and lie Skylark, by A. Goring Thomas, which will be rendered some time in May. t 108 i ( 601 ] SOUTH HIGH ORCHESTRA Girls' Glee Club Tills past year has shown a great improvement in the Girls’ Glee Club. We members feel that the club has taken a decided step toward the goal of tonal perfection. For this we are indebted to Miss Stringham’s unceasing effort and untiring practice. The requirements for membership are: first, to pass an examination in voice and musical ability; second, to attend one ninety-minute rehearsal weekly; third, to prepare work outside of rehearsals not to exceed three forty-five minute periods weekly; fourth, to sing at any entertainment given by the school authorities when requested. One credit will be given for one year’s work. The girls made a creditable appearance at the “movies” last fall. The most important public appearance, however, was at the South I ligh musicalc, given February eighteenth in the school auditorium. The girls sang a cycle of songs as their part in the program. Roys' Glee Club It IE recent appearances of the Boys’ Glee Club at the commencement exercises and the concert of February IS seem to indicate that their efforts have met with success, especially if the applause following each t no] number can be taken as evidence. In preceding years, the club has not been entirely successful and some doubt was expressed as to the advisability of reorganizing in November. I lowever, owing to the desire of a number of students, the club was again assembled under the efficient leadership of Mr. Griebenow. The early meetings were held at the V. M. C. A., but with the new semester Mr. Jorgens decided that there was sufficient merit to warrant the use of time during school hours, and the fifth period was accordingly set aside for that purpose. Great credit should be given to Mr. Griebenow for the manner in which he has been able to bring out the talent in the boys, and to Frederic Newton for his persistence in getting the club organized. —Ralph Haynks.

Before the year is over several distinct productions will have been put on in the school auditorium. Every student and teacher is interested, with the result that numberless rumors arc skipping about the school concerning department plays and faculty plays. . The credit for the excellent quality of these performances lies in two widely separated parts of the old building—M room and V room. Untiring in their efforts, Mr. Ililgendorf and Miss Fish have given their constant attention to the direction of most of the productions. Tilt WARRIORS r ii2] The Warriors A not UK K teacher-producer who has lately shown us what she can do in a dramatic way dwells in Q room—Miss Michelet. On November 19, the students of Norse, under direction of Miss Michelet, assisted by Miss Jacobson, gave four scenes from Ibsen’s “ I he Warriors’’ in the Norse language, with splendid results. The costuming was magnificent, every detail being historically correct. The portrayal of the principal roles was so good that it held the attention of even those who did not understand the lines.

It took the form of a circus parade and performance, each department in the Tiger being represented. I’hc costumes were extremely amusing, and the whole performance kept the school in a roar of laughter. t 114 ] A MIDSUMMER NIGHT S DREAM I MS J ■■n Les Am ourcux “Mistres, ennui, peinesf Mien, si less medeeins el les avocats tie nous nrruclient pus I argent tie noire poehe, assuremeut quelqu un nous ole l i joie do In vie!”—Act I, seene I, “Les Amoureux” Thus began the French play, ‘Les Amoureux,” written by Orline Allen and Mildred Rievman, the first two scenes of which were staged in assembly the latter part of February.

When this club organized a year ago it was made up of fifteen members recommended by the English teachers of the school. It is now a most interesting and instructive club, and has increased its membership to thirty. On Thursday night, the weekly meeting night of the Club, a program is presented, some of the members taking part, and the rest acting as audience. Besides the parliamentary drill, which is a regular feature, perhaps the most interesting numbers have been the debates. Teams have debated both sides of the vital subjects of school life: such as, “Students should buy their own books,” or “Football, as conducted now, is detrimental to South I ligh School,” as well as political and civic questions. After the debates, every member is given the chance to discuss the questions, many displaying decided talent in extemporaneous speaking. But do not think that this club is serious all the time. It has its parties and entertainments also, where the witty side of members is given opportunity to show itself. _ Full Ter Om« s. Sprhf Trrm Benjamin Youngdahl ....

The club has lived up to its name. For instance, one club meeting was called “Demonstration Day.” Such original ideas as were carried out! One girl explained and demonstrated the spiral reverse bandaging of wounds. The making of Oriental rugs was described ami illustrated by the aid of Mrs. Bucknam's saddle blanket. There was “Poets’ Day” when each speaker recited a well-known or “ought-to- I I-’O 1 bc-known” selection, giving a few original comments on it. The musical talent of the school also has a chance to display itself at these meetings. The Salmagundi banner awarded for oratorical ability, efficiency in conducting meetings, or editorial work on the Gazette staff, is indeed a prize to he coveted. Happy is he who is able to carry home a Salmagundi pennant, for it signifies inspiring personality combined with scholarship. And little Sally Magundy! When she made her initial appearance on the cover of last semester’s Gazette, she was such a bewitching little debutante that we decided to standardize her, to keep her always with us, letting her bow to all present and future Salniagundians. Hazel Martin, ’16. l.c Cere It Francois Le Cercle I kancais is a French club organized the early part of this term for the purpose of gaining ability in French conversation, and to awaken interest in the French department. The officers are: President, Walter Johnson; vice president, Orline Allen; secretary, Adelia Johnson; treasurer, Ellen Swanson; sergeant-at-arms, Hose MacRac. The enthusiasm shown already assures us that there will be no lack of interest. The business meetings have been planned to be conducted in French, and French programs will be rendered. The social side also will be remembered. These are some of the affairs that are going to be carried out: candy pull, hare-and-hound chase, wiener roast, regular parties, and gathering flowers, as soon as the weather permits. We are convinced that the club is going to be immensely profitable. Mock Congress The Mock Congress was organized to give the members practice in extemporaneous speaking, and to interest them in the leading questions of the day. Congress holds session every Wednesday night, from 7:30 to 10 o’clock. The officers are the speaker, Aaron Jernandcr; secretary. Myrtle Hopf; sergeant-at-arms, Raymond Engstrom. Either Mr. Carlson or Mr. Adams attends each meeting to offer suggestions and make criticisms. National questions such as “Preparedness,” “Child Labor,” and “Prohibition” have been discussed. Questions of school interest, such as ‘‘Each Senior should be given charge of one or more Freshmen,” always prove interesting. We believe that the present Congress forms only the nucleus of a larger and more complex organization. We who at graduation must withdraw from membership, leave to the lower classmen the responsibility of making this experiment a success. c i-’i I THE LETTERS OF A SOCIETY GIRL At School, October 23, 1915. Dear Mat, At last I have a minute to myself—but 1 really need an hour, for I have heaps of news to tell you. 'Falk about your circus! Well, 1 wasn't to a circus, but to our first A Senior party. To begin with, the evening was perfect, with a wonderful full moon. Dancing was in full swing to the tunc of We'll Have a Jubilee in My Old Kentucky Town, when we arrived. 1 really felt out of place when 1 stepped out of the dressing room (otherwise known as Miss Cushing’s private office) and saw the pretty girls dressed in ruffles and frills galore. 1 did not stand here very long, however, for I joined the girls in making orange and black paper caps while the boys, with lingers all thumbs, attempted to sew buttons on bits of cloth. Morris Sampson must be experienced at such business, for he carried off the first prize. Mr. Philip Carlson, our room principal, has a very competent wife, for he won the prize. Soon the hilarious crowd was quieted by Ben’s stentorian voice, calling us to begin the new game of swapping. This surely helped in making the crowd sociable. Mr. Carlson was again successful in carrying off an honor, but this time it was for first place. As soon as this was over, each boy rushed around to find her” for his partner for the grand march and supper. What a sight met our eyes as we entered the banqueting hall, otherwise known as our common, everyday lunch room! The tables, with places for four, were artistically lighted b shaded candles. Toasts were given by Miss Helen Wenzin, Mr. Rolfe Jacobsen and Mr. Henry Walburg: the chaperons, when called upon, literally “took to their heels.” Mr. Reuben Albinson entertained us with some of his famous songs. Mr. Youngdahl concluded the toasts with his usual witty remarks. Dancing followed, and all too soon our ragtime orchestra played Home, Sweet Home. Again each hoy sought his favorite in order to take her home. You can imagine who the unlucky one was in my case! With love, Betty. 1121 l _ At School, October 29, 1915. Dear Mar. Wliat do you think of this? Wc dignified Seniors, Jill and 1. went to the A Junior masquerade when they made their debut into South High society. We surely had an enjoyable time. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated, suggestive of Halloween, the school colors, orange and black, predominating. At one end of the gym was a realistic fire-place, with cornstalks strewn effectively about. At the other end, perched high on the basket was a huge, grinning pumpkin-head, lighted by electricity. At a signal from one of the chaperons, the president, Walter Johnson, with Ruth Shapiro led the grand march, during which the costumes were judged. Janette Carlson and David Estling won the prize for the best costumes, while Gertrude Waters and Walter Ek carried off the prizes for the funniest costumes. Immediately after this the leaders of the two sides stepped forward, Walter Johnson, leader of the Indians, and Arthur Anderson, leader for the Chinamen, each striving to outdo the other in rooting for the desired victory-. Some of the amusing stunts of the evening were ducking for apples, diving for marshmallows, three-legged race, and grinning race. The Chinamen were victors when all points of the evening were totalled, winning by a close margin of eighteen to sixteen. I happened to be on the winning side, too. Leap year was brought into play when each girl asked a boy to be her partner and we all marched in couples into the lunch room. An ideal Hallowe'en supper was served, with the cider by no means forgotten. The president began the toasts, and Walter Ek, the clown of the evening, entertained us by singing a very personal song about two popular young ladies of the class. '1’he prizes were presented by Mr. Melvin Olsen. Dancing followed in the gymnasium. O Mac, I wish you might have seen the wonderful variety of costumes! Puritans, witches, Yamas, dominoes, colonials, clowns, Red-Riding Hoods—of which I was one—all intermingled in the dancing. The evening passed all too quickly and before 1 realized it, I was being escorted home by one of the gallants of the evening. With love to you all, • Betty. _ At School, November 6, 1915. Dear Mar. You may well wonder why I am writing again so soon. Another party, of course! This time it was a B Senior masquerade and such an array of costumes! There were clowns, Indian girls—of which Thelma Torvick was typical, with her dark skin and fringed khaki suit. The gypsies were well represented by Adelia Johnson in her gaudy costume. “Chub I.each was here, there, and everywhere, conspicuous by his loud, checked suit. The leader of a group of clowns was Eincr Lindquist, who kept us all laughing. I fooled the whole crowd completely hy my mask and change of hair. Dignity was personified bv the several Martha Washingtons; militarism, by the stalwart cadets. The old-fashioned game of chewing string to get to the prize—a lump of sugar—was played, and Ruth Hinman carried off the prize. Another old-fashioned entertainment was the famous Virginia Reel which soon swung into modern dancing. We were not dancing very long, however, when members of the social committee appeared and presented each of us with a number, boys and girls matching for their partners. You may imagine whom I was matched up with. By accident, of course, it was the right one. The grand march was led by the class president. John Raines, and My rtle Hopf, president of the Pocahontas Club. After a long march around the gymnasium, and race track, we were finally led into the lunch room, which was lighted by candles. The toasts were begun by the president. Frederic Newton entertained us in his usual manner by singing. Elmer Leach concluded the toasts with several of his humorous anecdotes, after which we adjourned to the gymnasium and danced until the janitor gave the signal for breaking up. He” was the lucky one again. Now, don't forget it is your turn to write. With love, Betty. I 123) At School, Third Period, January 15, 1916. Dear Chum, Again Jill and I were invited to the A Junior party. Although there were other Seniors there, games were being played when we arrived. 1 did not join in these for my attention was held by the pretty dancing frocks, which appeared to be fresh from their tissue wrappings. Soon the President, Walter Johnson, announced the Virginia Reel, but this was broken up h several of the Seniors, who persisted in one-stepping. Again the girls exercised their leap year privilege by asking the hoys to supper, which was preceded by the usual grand march led by the president and Olive Rude. A light luncheon was served followed by toasts given by the famous comedy singers, Walter Ek and Reuben Albinson. Dancing was resumed in the gymnasium with fervor, much to the annoyance of the Juniors who were trying to play Pinning the Tail on the Donkey. Promptly at eleven o'clock the party broke up. Lovingly, Betty. ♦ At School, November 13, 1915. Drur Mae, So soon again, you will say. but I really must write and tell you all about our latest adventure; namely, the party which the Y Club Boys gave in honor of the Entre Nous Girls. You should have seen all of the pretty dancing frocks, made short and full according to the prevailing fashion. Surely you remember Margaret Mathews-Aunt Hyacinth in our class play, Captain Lettarblair ? Well, she certainly had the most beautiful dress, a dainty pink gown of voile which was very becoming to her, indeed. I got my long-wished-for blue silk poplin dancing frock, so 1 wore it that evening. All the girls liked it. The grand march opened the evening, and ended in our dividing into two circles for the purpose of playing charades. Miss Kish was the leader of our side and Miss Jacobsen, of the other. Our side began the game by acting out the word cantaloupe (can't elope) by having our leading lady and man elope, but being prevented by Father —Reuben Albinson—and myself as Mother. The opposing side, thinking only of the eats which were to follow, acted the word pianoforte.” Dancing reigned supreme for the rest of the evening. Soon the announcement was made that each boy should choose his partner for the final grand march, ending in supper. I do wish you could have been there to sec what was served, Mac! It was a typical bean club supper, consisting of hot rolls and butter, beans (reminding me of the delicious ones Aunt Mammy used to make down South), chocolate, and the good, old fashioned apple pie.- Miss Helen Wen .in opened the toasts. Reuben Albinson sang one of his usual witty songs, There Was a Hole in the Doughnut. Too. Henry Walburg continued by telling a humorous anecdote of Reuben and his Teacher. One of the chaperons, Mr. Fisher, was called upon and told a comical story in his usual innocent manner. Supper being over, dancing was again in full sway in the gymnasium, and all too soon, the janitor came with the signal for breaking up. With love, Betty. I I 124 1 LETTER FROM T. R. McKENZIE, 99 41F kind Providence would grant me the privilege of re-living any part of my life. I could think of no happier time than my four years at South High. Believe me, hoys and girls, there is no time in my life that I prize more, no period that brings hack more pleasant memories—memories of the kindliest fellowship among the students, memories of the tender and loving patience of our teachers, memories of lessons well dune (sometimes), of parties and dances, and above all the most pleasant recollections of our dear old class play. Down by the Sea, culminating in two love affairs, one of which became a reality. 1 wish that some kind fain might let me step into the life of each one of m companions just for a glance! I can almost see in my mind’s eye the unfolding of each life into the larger things of the world, some in single blessedness and some rapidly enhancing the welfare and growth of our beloved city and country. Now don’t forget! This old world was made for you and me. You may soon launch your bark upon life's waters. The course, rest assured, will depend entirely upon you. Consider yourself the rudder, find your direction and keep straight ahead. The man that finds his course and sticks to it, will never fail, cannot fail. Surely this is an established law, and if coupled with honesty and sincerity will bring reward. Your rightful inheritance is self-confidence, self-possession, and fearlessness to overcome any obstacle. Yes, this belongs to you: take it and go forth. Be sure that what you decide upon is something that fits your makeup, character ami liking. What you are suited for may nor reveal itself at once, but persevere until it does. Let me relate my own experience. A chum and myself decided upon a certain calling. We talked about it during our Junior and Senior years, and could even see in our mind's eye just how our office doors were going to look with our names printed upon them in gold letters revealing our profession. The dream never came true. It didn’t fit. What we had chosen became distasteful to me. 1 dropped it. My bark had no rudder for over a year. I then found what seemed to fit best, replaced my rudder, went on and never varied. My chum did likewise, and now, while each has a different livelihood than the other and so very different from what we planned in old days at South High, still we followed our better inclinations and our barks are still afloat, coursing through life’s waters anti attended with some success. Glory be to the T iger, peace, good will and much success to the departing Seniors. I l.’S 1 SOME SOUTH HIGH ALUMNI JUNE 1892 Kate Mac Derm id Instructor of Chemistry, S. H. S. JUNE 1893 James V. S.

A FLIGHT OF FANCY Atiiena Martin Lysetii. ’OS “Backward, turn backward, () Time, in your flight. Make me a child again just for tonight! jQ+.CAKCF.LY had this fancy passed through my mind when to my sur-prise there stood old Father Time beckoning me to come. I followed and soon found myself back at old South High again. Old, did I say? Ah, how much was new! The halls and doorways seemed bewildering at first, but I soon acquired my long-lost senior dignity and went about as though everything were perfectly natural. Many of the rooms were the same as they had been in 08, hut there were also many new ones. My first impulse, of course, was to go over the whole building. There in the basement were a fine gymnasium and a lunch room. On the other floors were the best equipped work rooms, laboratories, and typewriting rooms. The grandest of all was the auditorium on the main floor. This was the thing we had heard about, looked forward to, and dreamed about. There was to he a program in there the first period, so I followed the groups of eager students. It was with a feeling almost of awe that I entered this room, walked down the aisle and found a seat. It was a reality now, this mass-room we had talked of so much, and as I gazed at the lovely S. 11. S. portieres and saw the Salmagundi banners, I thought of how much it must all mean. The room was beautiful in itself and a source of inspiration to the whole school. Just then I saw Mrs. Bucknam looking over her glasses at a corner group and heard her say, “Students, scatter! You have lost all privileges !M I realized that this was to be a Salmagundi Club program, and what pleasant memories that recalled ! I know that time has only proved the worth of this valuable club-institution and perhaps added to it. When the l i:n ] school rose cn masse to sing the Alma Mater song, it seemed as though the enthusiasm was at its climax. I recall one Senior’s paraphrase, “The Salmagundi Club, the oasis of the Senior English desert,” though I don’t see how anyone can call English “Lit” a desert. Mrs. Bucknam always makes Shakespeare and Chaucer as interesting to Seniors as Mother Goose is to primary students. I thought about our days when gatherings like these in the old assembly hall were few and far between. In those times the four divisions of the school body were almost unknown to each other. Their meeting was like the passing of ships in the night,—a hail and farewell. After a most interesting and instructive period, I left the auditorium and went to look at the beautiful new annex that is being given to South. I mean the new annex that is going to be beautiful. It surely will be a credit to all who helped secure it, and the whole school and faculty body are to he congratulated upon this newer and better South High. There also will be available the large athletic training field. It seems that loyalty to the home community is the virtue of all South Siders. I looked everywhere for signs of that disease bugus eternus knockus that I larry Collins so complained about in days of yore. I could find none at all, and when I asked .Miss Keatlcy about it, she said that the harmony and unity of school organization had done much to stamp out that microbe, and added, “You can see how much better it is to boost than to knock.” As I passed Mr. Westerson’s door I heard a peal of laughter; I listened, and, sure enough, there was Mr. Westerson telling one of his funny stories to the class, and—yes, it was the same one he told to his classes in 1908. Miss Gale's pupils still made trips in vacant periods to describe the school exterior from such and such a point of view. 1 low much more there is to look at now! How hearts must swell up with pride in such a school! I saw many of the dear old teachers and many new ones. I know that in the years to come their pupils will pay tribute to them for a great share of the education that has been the foundation of all great achievements. We love our school for what it has been, for what it now is, and also for what it is to be. Each year will produce its heroes, its leading ladies, its Daniel Wcbsters, its Louisa Alcotts. Then may there always he three cheers and a “Tiger” for South. I had forgotten about old Father Time. Then I espied him beckoning me to come back. I felt like Alice in Wonderland. As I saw this grim figure like some silent messenger of fate glide through the door, something seemed to draw me toward him. I was soon outside looking into the world of affairs again, but as I turned for one last font! look at the old building some words from our class poem floated through my mind; Now wc ask, dear Alma Mater, When we all are gray and old, Don’t forget, oh, please remember We arc those, the blue and gold. Leave a corner on your hearth-rug. Place a welcome at your gate For your once much erring Seniors, For the class of 1908. f 129 1 a ALMA - MATER s� .Modor io HTords and Tfustc 6y Mar-rtsor CoZ tn3 I When )it a ACuter c M her to old GouiU h 9L .

Dear Brat rice:— I am a South High school student in my teens. I have been going with a young lady in my class for about six months or so. Her attentions toward me have been somewhat distracted by a close friend of mine. Now, I have just met a charming girl and it has come to pass that we think a great deal of each other. Would it be proper for me to stop going with the young lady of my first acquaintance, to go with the latter?

Leach A is for ALGEBRA; long may it live For the brains it develops, and the joy it doth give To those who love work and care not for play, And have for their lessons four hours a day. B is for BARLOW; the boys must admit The things that he teaches are just about it. There’s just one thing wrong; that’s this, we all hope That some day the washroom will have enough soap. C is for CHORUS, the class filled with glee. Where without getting sea-sick we reach a high C. The way they abuse us is surely a shame; But they give us two credits, so we should complain. D is for DANCING, a pastime, 1 guess, With an excellent chance for reducing the flesh. It’s one of those games in which you agree That your next pair of shoes will be size twenty-three. E is for EVERYONE, boy, girl, or man. About whom the Tiger has published a slam. For my own part 1 feel rather sorry for you, But slams help sell the book, so what could 1 do? F for FERGUSON, whom we all bless, As the one who has made our great book a success; For 'twas she who inspired us when we were despairing. And gave to the Tiger its dignified bearing. G is for something towards which we look, Some with hope, some with dread, some with fear. Yes, G can stand only for GRADUATION, The end of our high school career. H is for HARTZELL, known better as “Bob,” You never will find him asleep on the job. He’s no star as a scholar, but sure takes first prize When it comes to the wearing of noisy neckties.

J is for JANET, of whom you have heard, If you’ve had for a teacher Miss Schureman; She can sing like a fairy, and dance like a bird, And readily speaks French and German. I uo] THE FINISH IS WHAT COUNTS —Endurance is as important in a typewriter as in an athlete. Many a runner starts out looking fit, but after a lap or two, falls behind and is “all in at the finish of the race. So it is with typewriters. Some of them do good work at the start, but under the strain of continued use lose the close adjustments necessary to produce neat, clean cut typewriting. They fail before they reach the home stretch. The L. C. Smith Bros, typewriter will run the ordinary course, come in as strong at the finish—and be ready for another race. One of the reasons for this is the ball bearings found in all much used parts. Constant use can only make them run smoother and “sweeter. The L. C. Smith Bros, typewriter is as good at the finish as at the start. Send today for catal « of Silrnt (d 7-6-1) or Standard (6 5-4-1) Model L. C. SMITH BROS. TYPEWRITER COMPANY 204 Fourth St So..

If you’d have them come easy, just dig every day, And you'll he quite surprised how the weeks pass away.

O is for OLSEN, who cannot be beat. For making both ends of the Tiger Hoard meet. Without him our book would have soon gone to smash, For he is the fellow who handled the cash. P is for PERFECT, the marks we would give If the teachers would trade their positions for ours. We’d allow them to whisper and chew gum in class. And each day we’d give them both candy and flowers. Q is a letter that’s not often used, In fact, I fear greatly right now that I’m stuck: So we’ll merely leave out this one verse of my poem. And call it a case of a poet’s hard luck. R is for RIOTS, which often occur In “O Room” down on the first floor, When an argument starts between Cowling and Schultz On Who is to blame for this terrible war?” S is for SENIORS of nineteen-sixteen, The best class that South High school ever has known.

Now, Si sure was some fiddler, his fame went far and wide, And at that dancing party was the entire country side. There was Rufus and Mirandy and Bill and I Icnry Heck, There was Jim and Lizzy Corntassle and Cyrus Reuben Peck. There was old John Henry Slicker and all his fourteen kids, Who were noted for their dancing of fancy reels and jigs. There was William Rastus Morgan and his wife Clorinda Sue, There was Dave and Sammy Scuddcr and Ezra Perkins, too, There was old man Dennis Hogan, some dancer I surmise. Who danced an Irish jig and thereby nearly won the prize. There were many other folks, who danced most all that night, For not a soul was hound for home until the morning light. They danced the old quadrille and circle two-step, too, And jigs and reels and cake walks anil everything they knew. The climax came when Ezra got up to dance some more. And did a Yankee breakdown that nearly broke the floor; The rafters shook and rattled, the kids all sang in rhyme, And Silas with his fiddle had a hard job keeping time. When Ezra got through dancing and wiped his sweating face. There was much applauding, and much cheering from each one in the place. The good time soon was over, but with folks of every size Unanimously declaring that Ezra’d won the prize. And when the faint gray light of morn proclaimed another day, And rigs of every kind and shape were on their homeward way, Everyone was tired, but there was joy in every glance For they had all enjoyed themselves at a good old country dance.

At this very moment, the Galveston commission is composed of one Dane, one Swede, one Norwegian, and two other disreputable characters.” The decision was unanimous for the affirmative. Mr. Hilgendork: Oh, ethics is a wonderful subject. You study the right and wrong of different things. (Impressive pause.)

Ptitnon, Plaintiff, vs. II. G. Martin. Defendant. COMPLAINT. The Plaintiff for this cause of action alleges as follows: I. That he is quite often a member of the Stenography IV class. II. That on Monday, October 25. 1915, he was ousted from said class, while Arthur Nelson, an ignorant football player, was excused from typewriting because he plays on the team. III. That Plaintiff could not typewrite for more than a week because he contracted a severe sprain while working for the Dayton Company, of the City of Minneapolis, State of Minnesota. IV. That said Dayton Company employs him from two in the afternoon until as late as nine and ten o'clock p. m. in their Loafing Department, which leaves said Plaintiff little time to play overtures on the typewriter. That great injury and injustice has resulted to Plaintiff from said ousting from aforementioned class. Therefore, Plaintiff pra s this court to set aside the decree of Mr. Martin and let the Plaintiff assume, among the powers of stenography, that just and equal station to which the laws of S. H.

It is the first and only food allowed in extreme fever cases because it cools the fevered condition of the stomach and allows the assimilation of the rich nutritious cream without harmful results. PURE FOOD Is what the students of South High are getting in the school lunch room, for the ice cream served there is made in the Lathrop-Kemps Icc Cream factory, the finest equipped and most sanitary ice cream factory in the country. A great number of the students have inspected the plant and if you have not, you arc invited to do so at any time.
