Although we miss the faces of our former classmates we are glad to welcome all the new members to our class and school. Despite the fact that our number has decreased, we hope our en- thusiasm has greatly increased. We also trust that we will be found more willing to respond to the earnest efforts of our efficient instructors as we have a broader and clearer idea of what is expected of us. We, as members of the Sophomore Class, sincerely hope- to better each de- partment of the school work, and help raise the standard in every way. So far we have tried to live up to our resolution of extending to this year's Freshmen, the courtesies which were tendered us by last year's Sophomores. We will try to continue this treatment in spite of the fact that some of them make ridiculous mistakes and blunders, which we must admit, we did when we were Freshmen. We are anxious to help maintain a true school spirit and we are willing to take our share of responsibilities in making Tomah High School a wide-awake and enthusiastic school. In every sense of the word we will say Be a Booster for every interest of the school. -SPUD, '18. 77 7 JUNIOR CLASS SOPHOMORE CLASS O mciswmm fy L M MQW MQ mme W mmm G5 M9066 FRESHMAN CLASS :- ,, j:g'4,.f1a4f', -, fu. 2 I Ty .

We believed we were freely conver- sant with all phases, turns and interpretations of the question and while meeting all arguments of the opposition, were leaving them no loop-hole for attack on our own arguments. In addition we were filled with that faith in the righteousness of our causemwith that sense of the reasonable- ness and the rightness of our case which is most essential to a convincing presentation of ones views and opinions on a subject. But in spite of our honest effort and the fact that Tomah High School has never defeated La Crosse in any activity, the gods refused to smile on us. After some very touching selections by the La Crosse High School male quartet, the debate was opened by La Crosse. Madden spoke first for the negative, Lueck following, and Warren concluding the ar- gument. The most remarkable thing about the debate was that it hardly bore out the name. The affirmative and negative cases were practically parallel. We decided before the rebuttal that the whole thing would be a toss up. What we could find to say in the rebuttal we said with all the PEP at our command. La Crosse finished with a grand burst of fireworks When all was over we had cause to hope for victory. A gloom of impending defeat hung over the audience. Finally the chairman returned with the ballots and after one of those agonizing prologues which chair- men seem to consider necessary and proper he began to open the votes.

' THF TQMAH.!i!Q!'l SQHOQLANPYUAV - ' Q Hirnqua---Uumah Rebate This year only one of the big debates was held in Tomah. On the night that Viroqua debated here, our negative team debated La Crosse at La Crosse. The Viroqua men, consisting of Gauper, Weber and Welsh debated against McManamy, Richards and Syverson on the question: Resolved, That the Philippines Islands should be given their independence as out- lined in the Democratic platform of 1912. Tomah upheld the affir- mative, Viroqua the negative. The affirmative argued that the policy is a practical one and that it would be advantageous both to the Filipinos and Americans if it were carried out. It might perhaps be unwise to give them full powers of self government at once but in a few years they would be capable of governing themselves. Also by giving them their independence our army could be withdrawn from the islands and the danger of becoming embroiled with oriental powers would be eliminated. The negative argued that it is the moral duty of the United States to keep its hold upon the islands for some years to come as the Philip- pines could not maintain a stable government. If we withdrew from the islands one of the oriental countries might gain control and conditions would be as bad as they were under the old Spanish rule. The debate was won by the negative, the decision being two to one in their favor. Although we lost in both debates this year, we still lead in the league. We are tied with Sparta in the number of debates won and have a lead of six judges over our nearest rival, La Crosse. McManamy, Joseph,has an enviable record as a debater. He has made the debating team two times and has helped to win two debates. His weighty arguments will surely be missed in the debates next year. Richards, Harvey, a keen debater whom we shall be sorry to lose. This is his first year at debate and it is to be regretted that he did not go into debating before. Syverson, Bud, is also a first year man and literally eats them alive. He has marked ability as a debater and we hope to see .him back on the team next year. Warren, John, this is J ohn's third year in debate. During this time he has taken part in four debates and has helped to win two of them. He and Joseph McManamy have the honor of being the oldest debaters. Madden, Earl, took part in the debate against La Crosse and from all reports his record in debating is almost as brilliant as in athletics. Lueck, Clemenz, is another first year man. He is small but oh my . We predict that by his Senior year the Tomah debating team will have a second Webster. EW rili's'fo1iaAHiici3rsEiiooL ANNUAL 31 uninr-Seninr Bvhatea 1.

In the opinion of most people success means co-operation in the broadest sense, which would include not only the students of Tomah High School but all of its alumni and friends. Co-operation includes not only the attendance at games but also assistance and words of cheer during the drudgery of a season's practise. If such a meaning be attached to the word success, we cannot help but conclude that we have crossed the co- veted goal. Athletics in Tomah High School are conducted along two lines, the interscholastic contests of football and basketball, and the interclass contests of baseball. The football team last fall was practically a new team but in spite of that the men developed at an exceedingly rapid speed and toward the middle of the season they were playing like third and fourth year men. Basketball is our major sport and during the past season we lost but two games. One of these was to Baraboo High School, the state cham- pionsg and the other to La Crosse High School. It gives us more than a small amount of pleasure when recalling that we defeated each of these schools by larger scores than they defeated us. It happens at times that when a team has played together for a few years and then nearly all of them graduate the athletic material in a school is in a destitute condition, but Tomah High School has demon- strated that that condition can be remedied. It is accomplished by having everyone, who is willing to work, get out and learn the game. This year we had but one regular from last year's team on our squad and with the aid of the material at hand a team was developed that equalled and possibly surpassed any ever representing Tomah High School. Credit for this showing should be given not to the first team alone but also to the second team, the members of which came out every night and were willing to stand the knocks passed to them by former second team men. In order to allow everyone to play baseball we have a series of inter- class games to decide the class championship. Last year the Seniors defeated all of the other classes but in the final game, the faculty con- quered the mighty seniors and won the flag. This year a duplicate of last year's feat by the faculty seems to be the concensus of opinion. It is to be hoped that in the years to come, the students, alumni and friends of Tomah High School will again stand back of the teams and spur them on with that co-operation which will give to backers the right to call it Our Team and not merely the team of Tomah High School. THE TOITIAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 35 New men nn the Zllunt Mall Zifeam ' RED BORCHERT, '17 A midget, who came to the rescue in the middle of the football season and demonstrated that all competitors for the quarter back po- sition must clear the track for him. LUDWIG STORKEL, '18 A regular in the tackle position and, due to the practice he received at home handling pumpkins and squash, all opponents were given the vegetable grip and put out of the Way. Watch the metropolitan papers for accounts of this German next year. J ' Y GLEASON, '18 A gritty player at the guard position, who never stopped the battering ram process until the final whistle blew. PUDGE FOLSON, '18 Inspired by the cheers and confidence of the third ward, he fought every minute and gave his best to the school. LEON STELTER, '19 By keeping in training and plugging away on the reserves, he fitted into a regular berth when the time came and won his letter. A MARK REARDON, '19 A son of Ireland who soon demonstrated that he was always on the beat and never let a man slip thru his guard position. Elie Basket Ball Gleam DYNAMITE DENOMIE, CCaptain '18D An athlete of exceptional ability. Altho only a Sophomore he already has several scalps in his wampum. He played forward the entire basket ball season and was the most feared man on the team. He well earned the name of Dynamite for times without number there would be a scattering of players as if by an explosion. We're glad we will have him with us two more years. STAN BUTTS, '16 Stan played guard on the basket ball team. His speed and clever dodging enabled him to get away with the ball. His greatest delight was in guarding two men rather than one. His motto was the bigger the man the bigger the deed. His position will be vacant next year due to graduation. NUDE ZELLMER '16 Nude is another of Tomah's athletes who finishes his career this year. He played guard on the team. His cool and steady playing made him a valuable man. ZI ZIEBELL '17 Arnold is one of Tomah's big men in athletics and one who has gained much fame. He filled the position of center. His height enabled him to get the jump on his opponents. He never failed to score when given a half a chance. BASKET BALL TEAM THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 37 GEORGE WOLF '19 George is a great big quiet fellow who played forward in the team and proved himself to be a star. He played the entire season. He was a hard man to guard and he and DeNomie made a forward combination that couldn't be broken up. CANNERS HOPP '18 Hopp is another man who bids fair to gain his share of athletic fame. Although only a Sophomore he has already shown considerable ability. So far he has only been used as sub at forward and guard but the few times he was given a chance showed he had the stuff in him and ought to easily win a position on next years regular team. 1 PETE BRUNETTE '19 ' A product of the Indian School who promises to develop into one of Tomah's best athletes.

The Juniors have no team except Backstop Griggs and In and Out McNutt. The Sophomores will again show the line up of last year which is composed mostly of DeNomie and La Motte. The Freshies are, as usual, an unknown quantity but they hope to become known after the games. MADISON VS. TOMAH The football game played last Saturday was the best that has been seen on the High School campus for some time. It was strictly first class football all through the game. Each team fought from start to finish and did not give up until the final whistle blew. The Tomah team played as they never played before and outplayed their opponents throughout the game. Madison came with the idea that they would have a walkaway with Tomah and one player even remarked that Madison would score the first five minutes of play. His prophecy was not true, however, and they did not get near the Tomah goal until the last two minutes of play and then they scored the only touchdown made in the game by a fluke play. With Ziebell, Moran and DeNomie back in the game, Tomah played one of the best games ever seen on the local field. Outweighed by several pounds to the man they held their opponents at all stages of the game and had them on the defensive the larger part of the time. Both teams played a clean, fast game and there were no discussions at any time. The Madison team were gentlemen in all respects, on the field and off the field. The first three periods of the game clearly demonstrated that Tomah had the edge on the Capitol City boys but their weight was beginning to tell at the end and they were keeping Tomah on the defensive more of the time. In the last quarter the Madison left half back intercepted a pass from LeMote and ran 35 yards for the first and only touchdown. Goal was kicked and the remaining few minutes were spent in an overture of punts, keeping the ball near the middle of the field. The boys all played a good fast, clean game and the general opinion of all who saw the game was that it is an honor to Tomah to be represented by such a team, although the score was against us.

His daughter, Wilhelmina, is very discontented for she has been reading in a book about a beautiful land where women Wear beautiful clothes, attend receptions and are courted by noble gentlemen. Her mother talks to her about the comforts with which she is surrounded telling her that she ought not to be discontented. Wilhelmina is loved by Hans, the pride of the country, who is a great composer of music. Wilhelmina's sister, Hilda, is loved by Fritz, but they quarrel and Franz decides that he will make Hilda jealous by finding another girl. Bob Yankee, a THE 'romfiiii 1-nc:-i SCHOOL YANHIZIAL ' 41 young traveling salesman from America, .wants to persuade Hertogen- bosch to put in an engine in place of the old windmill and, in order to gain his friendship, he tries to make Hertogenbosch believehe has traveled six thousand miles just to finish his musical education with him. Myn- heer believes him and invites him to be his guest. Wilhelmina meets Bob and she becomes more discontented than ever ,and when Hans enters she tells him that she is tired of music and song, but he sees that she is tired of him. Just at this time Bob Yankee enters and makes a confidant of Hans. He informs him that he is a traveling salesman from America. He tells Hans his plan and Hans agrees to help him. ACT II . SCENE-The same, three weeks later. Hilda and Wilhelmina get into a quarrel, but the mother gets the story of the way they have quar- relled with their lovers and shows them that they were wrong and they make up. About this time the chorus of farmer's daughters enter with the news that Bob Yankee is trying to get Hertogenbosch to tear down the old mill and put in its stead a new fangled toot engine. Vrow says that she has a plan which will solve all the difliculties. Just as Mynheer is about to sign the contract for the engine Vrow enters saying that if the old mill goes she strikes. Mynheer says, That is strike one. Then Wilhelmina and Hilda enter saying that when the old mill goes, they strike, Mynheer says Strike two. The chorus of farmer's daughters and workhands then enter saying that if the old mill goes they strike. So Mynheer says, Strike three and I'm out. In this way the old mill is saved to the peasants and the scene closes with the chorus Windmills of Holland. ' Too great credit cannot be given to Miss Broadwell through whose untiring efforts and perseverance the operetta was made possible and to whom the success of the entertainment was in a great measure due. IS THERE? Is there a boy with soul so bold Who never hath himself felt cold When teachers have him strictly told This blufiing stunt is getting old? Hath he ne'er thought of lovely Kate The fairest girl, his would be mate, Who hath him often kept of late From reaching early his own gate? Hath this same boy ne'er said at last, The gait I've run it far too' fast I must secure another lass Or, in the school, I shall not pass? Hath he not said to teacher then, I will, from now, stay in my den, Will never venture forth again, If I, thereby, must miss a ten? -D. L. H. 42 PWirHE7ro'iQ1AH HIGH sci-iool. ANNUAL Surfed Euenta The Junior Promenade, given by the Class of 1916 on the thirtieth of April to the Seniors, Faculty, and School Board of the Tomah High School, was one of the most successful Proms in the history of the school. McCaul's Hall was decorated in green and white, the Senior colors. The small room adjoining was furnished with card tables and cozy cor- ners for those who did not care to dance. At eleven o'clock the guests repaired to the Hotel Sherman where refreshments were served and toasts were given. After the return to the hall, dancing concluded the program for the evening. The Sophomore Prom'f was given on May 4, 1915. It was a rather pitiful attempt on the part of the Sophomores to imitate the upper- classmen. It was thought best to humor them in their childish fancy, so the Juniors presented them with the original Prom decorations. October 31, 1915, the Senior Hallow'een Party, the annual party given by the Seniors to the under classmen, Faculty and School Board, was given. The hall was appropriately decorated for the event. The startling feature of this party, which will make it forever stand out in the history of the school, is that the Senior treasury was enriched three dollars and forty-eight cents by it. Ik ll: lk Effie :Ulilnrk Efrial STATE or WISCONSIN, Plaintiff, vs , PAUL ROSE, Defendant, Monroe County ss. I, John H. Warren, District Attorney in and for Monroe County, Wisconsin, do hereby inform the Court:- That on the Eighteenth day of December A. D. 1915 at said County, the above named Paul Rose did then and there, the goods and chattels of one Earl Tower to-wit: one diamond ring and gold ring of the value of Two Hundred Dollars in lawful money of these United States of America then and there situate and being found in the store- building of the said Earl Tower on the South-half of Lot Eleven in Block Twenty-five of the Original Plat of the Village now City of Tomah, Wisconsin, wilfully unlawfully and feloniously take steal and carry away against the peace and dignity of the State of Wisconsin. JOHN H. WARREN, District Attorney of Monroe County, Wis. Dated at Tomah, Wis., April 25th, 1916. So ran the information filed by John Warren, Dist. Attorney, against Paul Rose, defendant in the Mock Trial given at the High School, Tuesday, April 25, 1916. This portrayal of the administration of justice and the course of criminal action in the courts of the land was given chieiiy for an Annual benefit, but proved inci- dentally to be highly instructive to most of those who participated in the action, and to those of the audience who had not-fortunately or otherwise-been previously subpoenaed in such an action, or had never attended a court session. With the exception of His Honor the Judge and the jury, the participants were drawn from the Senior Class. Mr. W. B. Naylor acted in the capacity of Judge, and was decidedly instrumental to the success of the trial. Mr. Naylor built up the case for the action, and to say M THE ro1v1A1-1 1561-1 scHoofA1i1NUA1fT TT 75 that it was most ingeniously thought out, hardly expresses, or gives hint of the most careful regard to detail and the purposive flaws, with which the testimony and entire plot were planned. Openings were made in the testimony which, though carefully concealed, gave the attorneys reasonable foundation for argument. Not only did Naylor originate the case, but he also drilled the attorneys and wit- nesses, individually, and was present at numerous rehearsals. The Senior class, and especially the Annual staff, highly appreciates his active interest in its effort to satisfactorily and humorously present this court action. That it was financially satisfactory there can be no doubt. Thirty-eight dollars and ten cents Howed into the Annual coffers, swelling the fund so that it was possible to add much in cuts and extra pages to this edition. That the audience was pleased was proved when they sat patiently while the jury deliberated and sought to reach a verdict. A brief outline of the case will perhaps be welcomed. The witnesses for the state were Earle Tower, Harrison Seymour and Albert Boysen. Edward O'Brien marshalled the testimony for the defense, and almost wrung tears from the eyes of the jury with his pleas for the beautiful Miss Lovelace. The wit- nesses for the defense were Paul Rose, defendant, Miss Isabell Lovelace CRay Reynoldsj and Mr. John Lovelace fEarl Madden.J Neal Van Loon was sheriff of the court- such a sheriff as would terrorize the most hardened criminal. Forrest Hoisington was clerk of the Court, and Stanley Butts and Harry Baum- garten, shorthand speed artists, were Court reporters. Summarizing the testimony of state and defense- Mr. Tower, jeweler, testifies defendant looked at and handled diamond rings in his store the afternoon of Saturday, December 18, 1915. Discovered the loss of a one carat diamond ring the following Monday morning. Mr. Seymour swears that he saw a man who resembled defendant slip something bright in his pocket. Mr. Seymour was standing outside the store, looking at window display. Mr. Boysen swears that he, while standing outside of the store, distinctly saw defendant take ring and place it in pocket. Saw Mr. Seymour standing at window also. Did not call his attention to theft. State rests. Mr. Rose testifies, he is poor working man, engaged to Miss Lovelace. Went to store to buy engagement ring. Rings cost too much so left. Says he knew nothing of value of diamonds. Saw no one in front of window while he was in store. Swears that Boysen is personal enemy of his. Until Mr. Rose's engagement to her, Boysen and he were bitter rivals for the hand of Miss Lovelace. Has been told by friends that Boysen has sworn to get him. Miss Lovelace says that shortly after she and defendant became engaged Mr. Boysen called and renewed offer of marriage. Flew into rage when he learned of en- gagement and threatened Mr. Rose. Testifies she got ring she is wearing from father at Christmas time. She and de- fendant decided to call it their engagement ring since defendant couldn't buy one. Shortly after Christmas father died. Did not know of agreement concerning ring. Her brother, however, knew of it. Mr. Lovelace deposes and says that he saw father give ring to daughter. Knew of agreement concerning ring. Has known defendant for a year and believes him to be sober and industrious. Cross examination by defense brings out fact that two strangers were in store about the same time that Mr. Rose was, Mr. Tower can not swear whether before or after. Admits he left store unwatched for about three minutes shortly before six o'clock P. M. Mr. Seymour can not swear whether he saw one or two men in the store. The state in cross examination shows that Mr. Rose was convicted of theft of a stick pin at the age of thirteen and sentenced to reform school. Parolled after one year. 44 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Defendant says he gave absolutely nothing to fiancee for Christmas. Too poor. Ad- mits she received diamond ring for Christmas. Was gift from father. They agreed to call it their engagement ring. Swears that he went to store for the express purpose of procuring a ring. The ring Miss Lovelace received was a one carat diamond, and was in all respects very similar to ring stolen from Mr. Tower. Miss Lovelace swears that defendant gave her nothing for Christmas, and that she expected something from him. Repeats story of ring and threats. Mr. Lovelace does practically the same, both, however, emphasize poverty of defendant. In the rebuttal Mr. Tower identifies ring worn by Miss Lovelace as stolen ring. Mr. Boysen on oath denies making threats against defendant. 5 Defense proves that Mr. Tower can not positively identify ring. N Space will not permit a review of the arguments but the above statements will enable you to judge the points upon which the attorneys based their cases. Suffice to say the defendant was acquitted after the jury was out C73 hours. lk HI' ik FOUND IN EXAMINATION PAPERS Beowulf is compared to Evangeline in Snow Bound.

Q. 9. Alumni Bepartment JANE ABERCROMBIE LULU JANES Lulu Janes, known professionally as Jane Abercrombie, graduated from Tomah High School in '94. She attended the University of Wis- consin and is a member of the Gamma Phi Beta Sorority. She studied the piano at the University and also in Milwaukee. After teaching 48 THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL piano in Wausau, Wisconsin, she became a teacher in the Wausau public schools. In a performance of Bohemian Girl, given by Wausau home talent, she appeared in the role of Arline and her success was so great that she began to give her voice serious consideration. It was in this production that she first met her husband, Tom Abercrombie, who was engaged from Chicago to sing one of the roles for which there hap- pened to be no one available at that time in Wausau. The following fall she went to Chicago where she remained two years studying voice, following which she traveled for a year as a member of a Lyceum Company. The next season, while members of the same Opera Company, she and Mr. Abercrombie were married in Florence, Ala. This company was playing the same opera as the one in which they first met, viz. Bohem- ian Girl. It was while residing in Chicago the next year that she was first engaged in Grand Opera. Her first role was Elsa in Lohengrin. From then on her rise was rapid. Owing to her great versatility she has an extensive repertoire. She has been associated with several dif- ferent Grand Opera Companies and has toured over the United States and Canada, appearing with great success in practically every large city in North America. Early in 1913 she, with her family, Went to Europe. Most of her time was spent in Berlin where she studied for nearly two years. Owing to the vastly changed conditions in Europe following the outbreak of the War, she returned tothis country in December, 1914 and has since devoted her time to concert and recital work. She now resides at 6527 Kimbark Ave. Chicago, with her husband and little daughter,XGertrude. MRS. C. L. ANDERSON. DR. HERBERT BOLTON Herbert Bolton was born July 20, 1870, on the Ridge south of Tomah, in Wilton Township, the son of Edwin Latham and Rosaline CCadyj Bolton. In the summer of 1873 he Went with the rest of the family in a prairie schooner to Lincoln, Nebraska, then a new town of sod houses. On account of the great grass-hopper plague, the family returned to Wisconsin the same summer, by the same means of trans- portation, settling in La Grange Township, five miles north of Tomah, where Mr. Edwin Bolton died in 1885. Herbert worked on the farm and attended district school till January, 1886, when he entered the Tomah High School, from which he graduated with the class of 1889. During a part of his course he worked Saturdays and vacations as prin- ter's devil with Mr. L. B. Squier, on the Tomah Journal, where he learned the rudiments of printing and editorial work, which have since been an important part of his life work. After graduating he spent a summer as book-keeper, postal clerk, and general factotum at Goodyear's lumber mill, at Granite, Wisconsin, taught district school for a term in Jackson County, and in March, 1890, entered the Milwaukee State Normal I g THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOO1. ANNUAL' 45 School, from which he graduated in June, 1891. For the next two years he was supervising principal of schools in Fairchild. In 'the fall of 1893 he entered the University of Wisconsin, studied especially history and economics, and graduated in July, 1895, being subsequently elected to the Phi Beta Kappa Society. He, his brother Roy, Will Naylor, John Graham, and Fred Barrows were Tomah boys in college at the same time and in the same fraternity, Theta Delta Chi. In August, 1895, he married Gertrude Janes, a school and college mate, and a graduate of the Tomah High School in the class of 1890. After serving a year as principal of schools at Kaukauna, he returned to the State University to pursue post graduate work in history and eco- HE RBE RT BOLTON nomics. In the fall of 1897 he entered the University of Pennsylvania as Harrison Fellow in History, and in 1899 was granted the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The next two years were spent as teacher of history and economics in the Milwaukee State Normal School. In October, 1901, Dr. Bolton went to the University of Texas as instructor in History. Then began his distinctive life work. Being impressed with the great influences of the Spanish rule in our Southwest and charmed by the romantic spell which the Spanish occupation has left behind, and realizing that the history of the Spanish regime had been little studied, he made it his hobby , while teaching medieval history and managing the University publications as a vocation. so ir!-na 'roivuu-I HIGH sci-iooi. ANNUAL He began his preparation for his chosen field by studying the Spanish language during spare hours, and with the coming of his first summer vacation Q1902j, he went to Mexico City to search the archives for data on the history of the Spanish Southwest. Every summer, besides one continuous twelve month, was spent thus for the next seven or eight years. The work was a pioneer undertaking, and Dr. Bolton has become the recognized authority in the Mexican Archives, on Texas ethnology, and on the Spanish regime in the Southwest. Of his experiences in search of historical materials for the early Spanish days, Dr. Bolton writes in the preface to one of his works as follows: My quest has been as romantic as the search for the Golden Fleece. I have burrowed in the dust of the archives of Church and State in Mexico City, in a dozen Mexican state capitals, in Natchitoches, Louisiana, and in numerous places in Texas. The distance traveled in my pursuit of documents would carry me around the globe. I have lived with the padres in ruinous old monasteries in out of the way villages in the mountains of Mexico. I count among the treasures of my personal archive the letters of introduction from ambassadors, secretaries of state, and governors, cardinals, archbishops, bishops, friars, and parish priests, who have smoothed my way. Justin Smith, the historian, has said that Dr. Bolton's adventurous quest for materials has had no parallel. From 1906 to 1910 Dr. Bolton was research associate for the Bureau of American Ethnology, during which time he put Texan ethnology on a new basis and made extensive ethnological contributions to the great cyclopedic work called the Handbook of American Indians. In 1907- 08 he was sent to Mexico by the Carnegie Institute to prepare a report on the archives. This was published in 1913 as a large volume entitled Guide to the Archives of Mexico. Meanwhile this report brought to light a vast body of hitherto un- used and unknown materials for the history of the United States. At the University of Texas, Dr. Bolton was successively promoted to the ranks of adjunct professor and associate professor. In 1909 he was called to Leland Stanford as professor, and in 1911 to the University of Cali- fornia as head professor of American History. There, in connection with the great Bancroft Collection, he has built up one of the largest post graduate schools of American History in this country. Among the students whom he has trained at Texas, Stanford, and California, are several historical writers of established reputation. In this con- nection, he and his associates are doing for Southwestern and Pacific Slope history what Turner and Thwaites, at the University of Wisconsin, did for the history of the Mississippi Valley. Dr. Bolton himself has assembled one of the most important and best known private collections of unpublished manuscripts relating to Southwestern history in existence, comprising some 30,000 sheets of B Y MKTEEQTOINEAESHPCH SCHCCLKANNCATIL CWM CH Ei Spanish manuscript. In his chosen field he has published six volumes and a large number of monographs and essays. His books are: With the Makers of Texas, Qwith E. C. Barkerig Guide to the Archives of Mexico, Athanase de Mezieres C2 vols.jg Texas in the Middle Eigh- teenth Centuryg Spanish Exploration in the Southwest, 1542-17 06. In addition to these activities he is co-editor of the Southwestern His- torical Quarterly, and of the University of California Publications in History, wherein his early training in the oflice of the Tomah Journal stands him in good stead. As yet he has made little attempt to pop- ularize the results of his investigations, having written chieiiy for spec- ialists, but he plans some day to do for the Spaniards in the Southwest something like what Parkman did for the French in Canada. Aside from professional promotion, Dr. Bolton's work has received substantial recognition. He has been president of the Pacific Coast Branch of the American Historical Association, is a member of the Sociedad Mexicana de Geografia y de Estadistica, member of the His- torical Manuscripts Commission of the American Historical Association 5 member of the Council of the National Highways Association, Division of Historic Highways g and member of the American Antiquarian Society. He is Well known in Europe for his writings, and arrangements have been made whereby he is to go to Spain as Exchange Professor in the Royal University of Madrid. Mr. Herbert I. Priestly, himself an authority in the same Held, has written of Mr. Bolton as follows: Among present day writers of Spanish American History Dr. Bolton easily ranks first. His long activities in the archives Where the sources are preserved are bearing fruit in a remarkable series of publi- cations from his pen which establish more firmly the international re- putation which he has already won as the leading authority on the his- tory of the American Southwest. Beginning with local Texas history, his interests have come to include the whole iield of Spanish activities on the American continent. : ' - S 5? ......., DR. ERNEST R. BUCKLEY A11 Apprniatinn Dr. Buckley was born in Milbury, Mass., Sept. 3, 1872. He came with his parents to Tomah and lived here until 1890, when he graduated from the High School. He then entered the University of Wisconsin, and completed there with the Class of 1895. After this he continued his studies there, spec- ializing in Geology, and was chosen as an assistant to Professor Van Hise, who is now the President of the University. In this connection he was the author of an extensive report on the Clays of Wisconsin based on personal research, and this report was published by the State Geological Department as a work of great merit. He was made the director of a natural history survey of Wisconsin, and in 1898 he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Wisconsin. Gn August 25, 1903, he was married to Miss Grace Magdeburg, daughter of Captain Frederick Magdeburg of Milwaukee, Mrs. Buckley being a graduate of Milwaukee Downer College and a lady of great culture and refinement. Soon after receiving his degree Dr. Buckley was appointed State Geologist of Missouri, and removed to Rolla, Mo. He became an eminent authority in geology and mineralogy and one whose services were in constant demand in the practical application of these sciences to industry. He was also honored by being chosen President of the American Mining Congress. In the fall of 1911 he THE TOIAAH Hug-:ECI-fool. ANNUAL ss opened an office in Chicago as a consulting geological engineer, but on Jan. 19, 1912, he met his death after a very short illness with pneumonia, and five days later his wife also died with the same disease. They were buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in this city. Dr. Buckley traveled no royal road nor iiowery path of ease to reach his goal, each and every step was the result of honest labor 5 each advance was marked by difficulties manfully met and overthrown, and by an industry as strenuous as it was constant. His success was not meteoric, but was the more solid and enduring. He had more than common honesty of purpose-his was that high ideal of integrity of character which loves truth because it is truth, and scorns a dishonest act because the thought of it can find no lodgement in his heart. He was a large man physically and mentally, a lover of the great- out-doors, and enjoyed fishing and hunting, so that the study of geology seemed a natural result. His unfailing courtesy was never as a garment to be put on or off at will, reserved for only the chosen few, and the innate gentility of his nature, his unaffected and kindly democracy, his constant consideration for his widowed mother, and his steady regard for the Welfare and the feelings of others---all these leave with us who knew him best the sweet remembrance of a Christian gentleman and a dear friend. It seems that there are no friendships so perfect and so enduring as those youthful friendships formed in our school-days, and with Dr. Buckley many of us still have occasion to know that his friendship was not for the passing moment, fit only for fair weather use, but that it came throb- bing true and strong from the depths of his big heart. Dr. Buckley was perhaps Tomah's most noted and one of her best loved Alumni. He took a keen enjoyment in attending the annual Alumni Banquet and in other frequent visits to his old home to meet and greet old friends as unaffectedly as when he was plain Jim Buckley. His love for our city lay so close to his heart that it early found a happy expression in his Last Will, wherein he provided funds for a city library, and to the writer it is a matter of keen regret that, yielding to unneces- sary haste, these funds are to be diverted to other uses, or that he must at least share this generous honor with a total stranger. On the occasion of his last visit it was the Writer's privilege to en- tertain him and his delightful wife at dinner, and the enjoyable evening that followed stands out as a vividly pleasant memory of both of them. At that time he announced his perfected plan to work ten years at his profession in Chicago, and then return here to build and make his final home among his old friends and amid the old surroundings so dear to him,-but God had ruled otherwise, for The Sun of his life sank to untimely rest while it was yet the day. And as closing his tired eyes, his soul departed from these mortal shores, we may feel confident that there stood ready and glowing a Kindly Light which still did lead him 54 Wg -eg THE Tglylgiiuicn SCHOOLANHUAPF g g on until there broke upon his vision the light of the Eternal City that ne'er shall fail. Composed in suffering, in joy sedate, Good without knowingffwithout pretense, great, True to his word,-in every thought sincere, He knew no wish but what the world might hear. WM. B. NAYLOR. FRANK KING Frank King was born in Cashton, Wisconsin. He received his early education, however, in the schools of Tomah, graduating from Tomah High School in the class of 1901. He evinced artistic propensities while in High School, and developed them there. Even in his Freshman year he drew cartoons for a paper, The Tattler which was published in this school at that time. His ability was so marked that, after graduating, without special study, he secured a position on the staff of the Minneapolis Tribune where he worked for almost two years. He then went to Chicago and attended the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts for one year after which he accepted a position with the Chicago Examiner. From the Examiner he moved to his present place on the Chicago Tribune Staff. He has risen rapidly in the ranks of cartoonists, and has by his well known Preparedness Cartoons won a national reputation. RANDOLPH A. RICHARDS Tomah High School Alumni point with pride to the present occupant of Monroe County's Probate bench, the Honorable Randolph A. Richards. Judge Richards was born in Milwaukee on January 5th, 1863, but moved with his parents to the city of Tomah in 1867, and from his fourth year the City of Tomah has claimed him as a Tomah boy. He was educated in the Tomah schools and graduated with the class of 1882 and was its Valedictorian. After graduation, he entered the law office of the late Judge George Graham as a student and clerk and in 1887, miie +z,t.5fR.. 55.55. miie o r he passed the State Board examination and was admitted to the bar of Wisconsin. He served the City of Tomah as its attorney for several terms and was District Attorney one term. He has an honorable record as a mem- ber of the Board of Education of the City of Tomah. He was one of the organizers of Company K of the Third Regiment, W. N. G., and served in that company as Corporal, Second Lieutenant and Captain. He was later, in 1897, promoted out of the company to the rank of Major. He was one of the moving spirits in the project of the building of Tomah's fine Armory, the present home of Company K. When war was declared against Spain in 1898, Mr. Richards mustered into the United States' service as Major of a battalion in the Third Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry and served through the Porto Rican campaign with credit and with honor. Upon his return from the war, Mr. Richards moved to Sparta and took up the practice of law in company with the late D. F. Jones of that city. He continued the practice of law both alone and as senior member of the firms of Richards 8: Bowler and Richards Kr Rice, until he was elected to the bench of the County Court in April, 1914. During the term of his practice of law at Sparta, he also served that city as its at- torney for several terms. Mr. Richards' interest in things military did not end with the War, and upon the re-organization of the Third Regiment, upon its return home, he was again commissioned Major of the First Battalion. In May, 1910, he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and upon the pro- motion of Colonel Holway to be Adjutant-General, Mr. Richards was commissioned Colonel of the Third Regiment, which position he now holds. Mr. Richards has served Monroe County on the Probate bench with credit and distinction to himself. He has served, and is serving, his state and country well and truly and with credit and honor to himself in a military Way. He is a citizen of the first quality and We are proud to name him as one of our distinguished Alumni. bk lk 41 A VOICE FROM OUT THE EAST ' When one goes out into the World and moves constantly into new associations and surroundings, memories of different events, because of the frequent changes, pass more quickly from one's mind, unless they are of special significance or import in the life of a person. But how- ever swiftly other memories may pass from us, the most of us retain well our memories of early days in school, and often turn to them with pleasure and longing for their care-free and Whole-hearted enjoyment. The Tomah High School of today is not materially different from the Tomah High School of a few years ago, excepting for changes made THE TOKGRH HIGH scHoo1. ANNUAL sv here and there to keep pace with the advance of progress and to maintain Tomah High as the leading school in the state. I say maintain, because in our time we considered our school as second to none and I hope that nothing has ever occurred to change that attitude. The only real change that occurs is in the constant stream of new faces that appears on the scene, tarries for a time and then passes on out into the World. For this reason, only into the faces of old-timers will the mention of Maxson, Keifer, McNeil, Carson, O'Neill, Clark, Conway, Drips, and numerous others bring a smile or a look of terror and uncover old memories they had buried long ago. The greater part of this stream passing out into the world goes into the central and far west to carve out fame and fortune, and therefore the people of Tomah are brought into closer con- tact with the life and character of the western peoples than with those of the distant East. Accordingly it might be of interest to some to hear a few impressions of the East. So general is this tendency for young men to strike westward, that the westerner who has gone east is a rare thing, so rare in fact that when people learn of your homeland, they eye you with curiosity and with a certain amount of suspicion, because you have done the opposite of what everyone else is doing or is expected to do.-GO WEST. Anyone who has lived for any length of time in the east notes that lack of frankness, hospitality, and friendliness so prominent among western peoples as a whole, and it appears that the farther east you go the more marked this feeling becomes. Not that hospitality is entirely lacking among them, for once a person gains the good graces of the people and proves he is worthy their confidence, their hospitality knows no bounds. The district in which I reside, is known as the Pittsburgh District. This includes the City of Pittsburgh with a population of 500,000 and many other smaller cities within a radius of 50 miles in which the iron and steel industry predominates. The whole district is noted for its large percentage of foreign element attracted here by the huge steel mills. About the only real comparisons to this foreign element I can remember in Tomah, are the occasional invasions during the summer months of what was called Dagoes, It is composed of many races and many dialects, with certain classes predominant in some sections while again in others they all mingle together. I have been told of a certain congre- gation composed of people speaking seven different languages. Certainly no easy task for one in charge of such a body. Tomah thinks, as it were, in terms of grain, butter, eggs and other farm products, but this section of the country thinks only in terms of iron, steel, oil and gas. If you have a bumper crop in the west, every- one there is prosperous 5 if the steel industry booms, as it is at the present time, then everyone in this section is prosperous. But if you trace back the connection between the two, you will almost invariably arrive at the conclusion that the western farmer must be first prosperous, then perhaps the steel industry will boom. 58 THE TOMAH I-HGH SCHOOL ANNUAL K Much of the east that I have seen, is far behind Wisconsin in natural attractiveness as regards health, beauty, and topography, and on many occasions I have been surprised to note the good reputation Wisconsin has among the eastern peoples, not only in these respects, but politically and progressively. All this has only tended to strengthen my belief that after all Wisconsin is what I like to call it-God's Country. JOHN W. KRESS, 1910. wk 42 lk Innking Zlhrrkwarh Amid the pomp and circumstance of modern high school graduation, with its Junior Prom, and its Class Play, its Baccalaureate Sermon, and the elaborate exercises, it might be of interest to take a look into the past, not so very far either, and let the class of 1882, of which the writer was a member, occupy the boards for a few minutes. The entire common and high school education of its members was received under the roof of the same building, the old frame schoolhouse on the hill, with its primaries on the first floor and its grammar school and high school on the second floor, so that as We increased in knowledge and years we went a little higher in a perpendicular direction arriving at last to the dignity of the Senior Class, seated in the high school room, presided over by Prof. McComb and his assistant Miss Rule, and the name is no joke either, yet she was loved by every member of the class. That old high school room-with its plain pine board desks, its blackboards all around the room, with its big cast iron box stove, the wood for which must be carried up by the boy students who took turns firing it during school hours, it seems but a little while ago that we were there. There had been but one class graduated previous to 1882 and that was the class of 1880 consisting of three members, Ida Miller, Ida Auten and Curtis Boorman. Its graduating exercises were of rather an informal nature and took place in the high school room on the last day. It was the class of 1882, however, which inaugurated some mighty reforms in the matter of graduating exercises. This class Was not noted for its backwardness in any of the acti- vities of school life and was in the habit of making itself heard at proper and sometimes improper occasions, so with the characteristic nerve of '82 I shall proceed to place ourselves on the scholastic map. As we did not think to have a class motto back in 1882 I will supply one which is appropriate. Let it be WE HAVE NERVEX' With this diplomatic beginning I am at liberty to sing the praises of this great and famous class, regardless of what any body may think about it. Yes, we inau- gurated reforms and for the first time in the history of high school grad- uations, in Tomah at least, and as far as I am able to learn elsewhere, admission was charged to the graduation exercises. In order to put ourselves firmly before the public we used the money which we received to hire a military band to do us honor. Mauston at that time had a THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL SEI very good comet band and it came marching up Superior avenue in grand style in the afternoon and played some selections as a part of the program in the evening. We had a crowd, and what the class did to that assemblage was awful. Oratory iiowed in streams. There was not a blame thing we did not regulate, advice was handed out freely and with great condescension from the President of the United States clear down to the common herd in front of us. The writer handed out what is now known as dope to Congress but strange to say Congress paid no at- tention whatever to it, much to his disgust. But we graduated in fine style, we had a Salutatory and a Valedictory, and all the things that come in between. It was a great day in our lives. We were happy, yet a note of sadness crept in, for we parted, as school companions, and went our several ways. Can we ever forget Prof. McComb? Then a young man with the energy and wit of the born Irishman, strict in discipline, thorough in his methods, he ruled with a rod of iron, yet his kindly disposition made you feel he was your firm friend and interested personally in your welfare. To my mind he was very much of a success in his chosen calling. Who composed this class of '82? Addie Leach, Bertha Irons, W. J. Powers, H. D. Powers, Addie Earle, LaMont Boorman, William Winters and Randolph A. Richards. Two of them, LaMont Boorman and Bertha Irons, have passed to the great beyond, Addie Leach moved away from Tomah some years ago and where she now is or whether she is living I am uninformed, W. J. Powers and H. D. Powers are conducting a large hardware business at Grand Rapids, Minnesota, William Winter is a distinguished patent attorney living, I believe, in Philadelphia, Addie Earle, now Mrs. Eldridge, and your humble servant are the sole representatives who have stuck by Monroe County, and I think that if we tried we could give quite a respectable class yell. To the writer, Tomah High always will be considered his school home, the memories of it among the most cherished recollections, and for the class of '82 I send greeting to the class of '16. R. A.

The hall was decorated for the occasion with ferns and flowers and festoons of bunting, in the school colors, gold and white. At six o'clock, about one hundred and seventy five members and guests sat down to a delicious banquet, served by the ladies of the Congrega- tional Church Society, after which an excellent program was rendered in the following order: Toast Master ........................................

May all be loyal supporters of the one part of school life in which they will always have a share and thus insure long life and prosperity to the Alumni Association of the Tomah High School. ,J Fl mi I O 3 P' I E C51 ml U1 G.

H. S. are afflicted with so-called pompsf' illiterarg Department mrerkeh Ambitious Ezekiel Snodgrass was an ambitious farmer lad. Everybody in Hopville agreed with Mrs. Snodgrass, that Zeke was smart as paint and would some day astonish the whole world with his great talent. He had already become famous in the surrounding community as a statesman, musician, prize fighter, inventive genius and last, but not least, as a wooer of maidens. There was not one of all the one hundred fifty inhabitants of Hopville that could surpass Zeke as a statesman. He had given astonishing recitations in every program at the Hopville school house since he was a mere youth. He was a member of the anti- wrist watch association and of the Hopville debating society, In the last debate on the question whether bed-bugs bite harder than iieas, Zeke had practically won the negative side by his grand oration and undefeatable argument. Zeke also had great musical talent. Although he had only taken three lessons of the local instructor, he could already play Yankee Doodle on the mouth-organ, Zeke had a wonderful voiceg and when, at the last entertainment in the Hopville hall he had sung the popular song, The Dog Disliked the Baby, so They Gave The Baby Away, the crowd had gone wild with joy. They had amply rewarded him with bricks old shoes, beer bottles, tin cans and other missiles, which in themselves are harmless weapons, but when aimed at a person's head will make the bravest quake with fear. When he had at last reached his seat his handsome Visage was marred by a black eye, a broken nose and was minus three teeth. Zeke was known throughout the county as a prizefighter. He had already whipped all of the local heavy-weights and his father even predicted that some day he would be a second Jess Willard. His inventive genius was of some value on the farm, especially to his mother. By attaching a fan to the graphaphone he had invented a methodical contraption which was especially valuable in helping start the fire on a cold winter's morning when the draft refused to work. His latest invention was a milking machine. With this wonder- ful piece of mechanism, Zeke could milk almost as many cows in a dayas most people could in an hour without the aid of such a convenient device. Zeke was certainly a lady's man. No one of the opposite sex could scan the depths of those dark blue eyes of Zeke's, without a thrilling sensation of joy. In the Hopville church yard poor Mary Brown is resting as the result of a trivial love affair with Zeke. She had taken his love rather seriously, unwise girl, and when he had cast her aside for another it broke her heart, and soon afterward she passed away into the region of eternal peace. On account of this vast variety of talent, Zeke's parents had some trouble in choos- ing a profession for him to pursue. Father was opposed to a musician--he had had the pleasure of hearing Zeke practice. Mother was opposed to prize fighting because she was afraid some one would break poor Zeke's nose thus marring his beauty for life. She also was opposed to professional love making as she has a heart of her own and remem- bered how nearly it had been broken when Zeke's pa had run away with the pretty servant girl. After deliberate consideration of every phase of the matter, they decided to send Zeke to New York to begin life as a lawyer. Consequently a few days later Zeke left for the city with all of his earthly belongings tied up in a large red handkerchief, and his vast fortune of one hundred dollars in his pocket. All of the inhabitants of Hopville were at the station to bid him adieu. As the train left the station with Zeke on board, three cheers were given for Zeke, the future president. vo ll if 'rixiiigrolyinniigrici-fscHooL AENUALI I j -I ' After the train was out of sight the crowd dispersed and silence again reigned supreme in Hopville. Zeke arrived in the city and was greeted by two of the friendly sort of chaps. They escorted him to dinner and it became Zeke's lot to pay for the meal, which took a con- siderable bit of his vast fortune. They then escorted him to a hotel and Zeke invited them to stay all night. This they gladly did and while Zeke was enjoying the honey heavy dew of sleep they relieved him of his pocket-book. When Zeke awoke the next morning he was rather surprised to find his friends gone, and upon close observation, his pocket book missing as well, but he was not to be daunted by a matter so trifling as this. He immediately started in search for work as happy as the birds in May. But after a morning of unfruitful search, he was a little discouraged, and after another unsuccessful afternoon, he was ready to go home. But how? Kind friends had relieved him of his pocket book and he was penniless. Suddenly he received an inspiration and made a dash for the union depot. He arrived just in time to catch the local freight and when at last he was safe on the bumpers he wept for joy. When he arrived in Hopville his friends were rather surprised to see him back so soon but no questions were asked,-Zeke was a good fighter and the dejected look on his face did not warrant investigation. To make a long story short, Zeke is still on the farm, and when by chance one of his old friends suggest a trip to New York, he wisely shakes his old bald head, rolls back those dark blue eyes and in a disconcerted voice replies, Never again. HARVEY RICHARDS, '16 611112 Raving Spirit What a beautiful, quiet spot! I sat down under a tree and looked around, deep cool forests all about me. I sat just at the foot of a great hill, up the side of which ran a bumpy, stony road. On one side of the road was a little valley and on the other just Visible from where I sat, and right at the foot of the hill, nestled a tiny log cabin. It was such a quiet place, and the little log cabin, there was something so lonely about it, and yet-yes, it was an old lady. She raised the little curtain and looked out. Then she came out on the tiny porch and looked anxiously down the road. I looked too, and there, winding slowly around the bend in the road, came a large, covered wagon. Two very dark men sat on the front seat.and a dog followed close behind, barking and jumping up and down. The wagon slowly turned into the little valley, and soon another, and yet another wagon appeared and followed the first. Then there was the loud talking and shrill laughter of a camp of gypsies. The women scrambled from the depths of the large wagons and began to prepare supper. The men unhitched the horses and allowed them to roam about in search of food, while they, with lighted pipes, lay in the shade of the trees. The women, dark, with sharp features and keen eyes were busily moving around the large iron kettle. Their dresses were of the brightest colors, though somewhat faded and torn. Dora, a girl of about fifteen years, climbed quickly from one of the wagons. Her dark eyes shone with excitement as she ran around playing games with the younger children. She was very pretty, with her dark curly hair and bright red dress. Finally she left the group of children and came over to the women busy with supper. Old Nancy called to her and together they started up the path to the little log cabin. They en- tered without knocking. An old man sat near the window reading, and a little, old lady, in a white cap and apron, sat in a low rocker, knitting. She stood up looking nervously toward a little shelf across the room but Nancy came up boldly. Let me tell your fortune, lady. You're a good woman and you'll go to heaven some day. She snatched the old lady's hand from behind her back and continued to THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 71 tell her fortune. You'll be a rich woman some day. I see lots of money. And she rolled her eyes knowingly toward a little brown box on the shelf. And I'm a poor old woman and so hungry! Lady, please give me some bread and milk. In spite of the fact that the old couple were trying to send her away, she resolutely followed into the pantry. When she came out her apron was bulging, but yet she was not satisfied. Dora stood watching, she had seen this often, yes, had even helped to beg. But something in the frightened glance of the old lady held her and appealed to her. Nancy was not satisfied and asked for one thing after another. The old lady glan- ced anxiously toward the little shelf near the window. The keen eyes of old Nancy followed her and Dora's bright eyes saw also. At last the two went, and the little old lady quickly closed the door. She tremblingly snatched the little box from the shelf. John, do you suppose thay would take it? We have worked so hard, and now that we are old, we do need it so. And together they counted over the small roll of bills. But that is the best place to keep it, and no one would ever suspect, and she placed the little, brown box back on the shelf. That night, Dora lay awake a long time thinking of the tiny cabin at the foot of the hill. It all seemed so nice and neat, andasuddenly she heard a sound near her! Old Nancy arose stealthily and crept from the wagon. Dora was up in a moment and noiselessly following. Yes, as she had suspected, Nancy, going to the cabin, hurried silently up the path, reached the house, tried the door. It was locked. She moved around to the window. Wide open! In the moonlight, Dora could see her, the thin, ragged figure, see her glance quickly about her, then stealthily enter the house. A moment later, she came quickly forth with the precious brown box under her arm. Dora followed her, watched her hide it in the wagon, and go back to her disturbed sleep. The time had now come, that old lady wanted that box and Dora made up her mind to take it back. She waited until all was very quiet, then reached over carefully and took it. She climbeddown, stumbled-listened intently! She thought she had heard a faint sound. With the box under her arm, she hurried up the path, placed it carefully back again, then sat down to think. A few moments later, she came down to the camp. But this was different, a short time before, all was quiet! Now the camp was wide awake! Dora was jerked into their midst and roughly beaten by the angry gypsies. She shall be left behind, yes, let her go and live with them if they are so nice! Dora's eyes flashed! She'd lots rather stay with them, than go. And sure enough, the next day the camp broke up and Dora was left behind. She went to the cabin and told the old couple all about it. So she came to live with them and the old couple loved her dearly. That winter both of them died in their little log cabin. Their lives had been long and happy. Spring came and Dora found the cottage stifling. Each day found her roaming through the woods. One summer afternoon, when she returned she saw a familiar scene. Another gypsy camp in the little valley! The wild, care-free life was calling to her and she could not resist it. When the camp broke up, happy Dora was sitting in the wagon as it wound slowly up the hill. I sat up, I was sure I heard the rumble of the wheels, yes, there was a large lumber wagon. It had just passed by. I looked quickly toward the cabin, there it stood, quiet, lonely nestling beneath the shelter of the great hill.-LILLIAN BRILL, '16. Hunt Marie Come on, Gene, a little more juice. We're going to be late. The motor-cycle with its two boy passengers was gliding along the almost deserted street that led to the football grounds. This was the last time these two would ride on Gene's car, for his father's bank had been robbed the day before and the car would have to be sold. As the machine was running perfectly and Gene realized the game 72 T1-us TOMAH HIGH sci-iool. Argrjgpii. gl g W would start in a few moments, he was about to do as his friend suggested when-crash!- without a warning of any kind the motor cycle was dashed to the curb. Jack picked himself up, unharmed, a few feet away and ran back to the wreckage, For that was what it was, a badly broken motorcycle on top of an unconscious boy. Trembling with fear for his friend's life, Jack began to remove the pieces of the machine from his body. As he carefully extracted the first piece without doing any harm a passing automobile stopped and a man jumped from it and ran to J ack's side. What's happened here, Lyley? Joyfully recognizing his father's friend and lawyer, Robert Lucas, J ack explained as well as he could what had happened. Mr. Lucas telephoned for an ambulance and then, in an attempt to answer the question, How? which Jack had failed to do, he started in the direction the car that must have struck the boys must have taken. Mr. Lucas prepared himself, in mind, for a long drive in pursuit of the offender and had just reached the top of his first bad hill when-there, at his left, he saw a low gray car. The lawyer stopped and got out, expecting to find a car full of men and boys, but to his surprise, found a girl bending over the opened hood of the engine. This was evidently not the person who had run over the boys for her car was headed toward town instead of away from it. Something in her manner, however, arrested the lawyer's attention and kept him from stating his errand. The girl seemed nervous and excited. the slightest sound brought her upright with ears alert. Her hands trembled as she fumbled with the engine. Mr. Lucas looked into the engine and in a moment saw the trouble. He stopped with his hand half raised to fix it. In a fiash it had occurred to him that although this was not the person who ran over the boys, she had something on her conscience at least. Almdst by main force, Mr. Lucas took the girl back to town. On the way he sud- denly remembered that he had been on his way to the police station when he found the boys. He had started over there to learn more of the great bank robbery that had taken place the night before. Already detectives and policemen were scouring the country for some trace of the mysterious robber. No clues whatever could be found of him. Now, when Mr. Lucas remembered the girl's nervous manner, a wild idea occurred to him. Of course, it was absurd in a way, but it was worthy of a trial. Arrived at the police station, he asked the girl to step inside with him, as he had a short errand. She seemed at first to hesitate, then almost eagerly, it seemed to the man, she jumped out of the car and followed him into the building. When they reached the chief's desk Mr. Lucas began at once to ask concerning the robbery. His courage almost failed him as he was about to accuse the girl. This was a pretty serious thing he was doing, accusing a strange girl of robbery. Still, all evidence pointed that way. Yes, he would do it. As Mr. Lucas was about to speak, he heard the girl's voice asking, Who's bank did you say? Cassidy's? Oh, poor uncle! I must go to him at once. Thank you so much, Mr. Lucas, for bringing me in. . With this innocent girlish speech she was gone. Mr. Lucas breathed a great sigh of relief as he thanked the Providence that had saved him from an awful mistake. What a fool idea of his anyway! One-half hour later as Robert Lucas, lawyer, stepped out on the walk, his car was gone. The guard when questioned told him, that the girl who came with him had driven it away. Had it been such a fool idea after all? MARGUERITE NUZUM, '16. W' THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOLYANNUAL ST S 73 69112 Night at the Switch Baath A night at the switch-board, all alone for eleven, short, happy hours is one of the pleasures of a night-operator. She is busy as can be answering one little bright light after the other. On this particular night the air is almost sultry. In the distance she hears the sound of music, the tread of many feet and the hum of many voices. But she hasn't any desire to mingle with the throng. Soon the bright lights do not flash so often. She wishes something exciting would happen. About ten-thirty she answers a call and hears an excited voice call out- Oh central, hurry-quick, give megoh call the policeman, quick, there's a burglar trying to get into our house! The operator promptly presses a button which flashes a light at the police station and notifies the policeman that he is wanted. Soon he is on his way to catch the burglar. The operator thinks no more of the incident and soon for- gets all about it. A short time later she acts as through operator on a long distance call from Apple- ton to Glencoe. The lines are very noisy and she is asked to repeat the message. ' 'What is it you wanted to tell the party at Glencoe? she asks. A man's anxious voice ans- wers, Have you Miss View on the line? Yes, sir, answers the operator. Tell her I've got the ring and to meet me at Hotel La Salle, Chicago, tomorrow. Ask her if she will be there. The operator repeats the message to the other party at Glencoe, and receives the answer, Tell Jack I'll be there but not for a week or two. He calls out, I've waited long enough, a week's too long. Tell her not to stop for anything, just come along herself. The girl's pleasant voice replies, Well, just as you say, I'll be there tomorrow. Good bye. The happy man's voice calls, Thank you so much, operator, it's not as dreadful as I thought it would be. I've been trying for two years to pluck up courage enough to ask her, but it just wouldn't come. Thank youj Good- bye. All through sounds one operator's voice after another along the line. And the operator smiles as she thinks, Guess this line's made two people happy. Another light flashes. The operator says, number please? What time is lt, please? Twelve o'clock, is the reply. Thank you, answers the inquirer. No lights are flashing now, so the operator begins to read a very interesting story. Soon it begins to lighten and thunder. The lightning becomes sharper and the thunder louder. The lines crack, drops come down, the lights flash although no one is calling. She leaves the board and watches at a distance the flashes of lightning coming from the board. The sound of the cracking on the lines, the peals of thunder and the downpour of the rain are like music to her. Soon the lights go out and she is left in darkness. The flashes of lightning streak after streak brightens the room. The switch-board is full of little bright lights. The drops are cracking and pulling. Flash after flash shoots across the room, and it seems as though the room is fairly full of electricity. The rain pours down harder and harder, the lines crack and crack, and the thunder peals louder and louder. Suddenly a sharp, oh, so sharp crash comes and the operator thinks, My, that was an awful crash-S! Surely the lightning must have struck some- where. The storm's fury is soon over. The operator puts out all the little bright lights and pushes up the drops on the switchboard. The rain soon ceases and the moon and stars come out. The air is fresh and cool, everything is as peaceful as though there had been no storm. No lights flash for an hour or more. But finally a little bright light flashes again. How's the four o'clock train, please? Two hours or more late. A wash out up the line, calls the depot agent. Thank you, is the reply. The bright lights begin to flash oftener from now on. Soon more operators come to relieve the night operatorg her duty is over and another busy day begins. -DENA ROWAN, '16. 1 74 THE 'roxyinn HIGI-IYSVQHQOL ANNUAL gg - A Group nf Girlz at listens Oh, Mary, will you let me take you Physics problems?

My mother wants me to but I don't care anything about it. I'm tired of school and besides I don't know what I'd take up if I did go. I think you're foolish not to go if you can. I'm just crazy about it. You're going aren't you, Dorothy? I should say I am! I wouldn't stay at home when all the other girls are going. But say, does anyone know that new boy that started school this week? Isn't he good looking? He certainly is and I met him last night, too. He's all kinds of fun. Then you can ask him to our party Friday night, can't you Jane? You're the only one that knows him and we're all crazy to meet him. Of course I intend to ask him, but can anyone tell me what our German is about? I haven't time to study it and I don't know a thing about it. It seems to me our lessons are awfully long lately. I never get them half studied. Well, neither do I and I never have any time to study out of school either. There's always some place to go. Who do you suppose I saw at the movies last night? Jack and Helen. I was so surprised to see them together again. Helen said she wouldn't make up with him again but I guess she has. I knew she would. She always says that but she likes him too well to stay madlong. Who is that girl over there? Doesn't she do her hair funny?

The Rev. N. Van Loon, evangelist and street preacher, has been divorced from his wife. The charge is non-support, as he is dependent on volun- tary contributions and public alms for a living. TOMAH CHRONICLE We reprint the following from the N. Y. Post, January 23, 1953. Prof. A. Rehberg instructor in astronomy and the occult sciences at Columbus Uni- versity, has discovered a new comet. The discovery was made on Thursday, Jan. 22, 1953 at 11:58:59 5 P. M. from the Columbus observatory. Prof. Rehberg states that he believes the comet can not long remain visible. It is his belief that, previous to its discovery it was hurtling thru space at a rate which defied the sight of man and the mechanical ingenuities which he has made to assist him in his exploration of the great void. Forced out of its course by the recent violent eruptions on Mars, which astronomers have so recently ob- served, the comet, he believes, was turned into a new line leading it straight to Saturn. The nucleus of the comet successfully passed between two of the rings, but the long tail, less fortunate, became tangled with the rings, and checked the comet in its flight, and now holds it temporarily captive. Following a long established custom, the new comet has been named in honor of the discovererf' Commenting on the preceding, we will say, that to all old school mates of Prof. Rehberg or Dutch as we call him, this should be no surprise, since his star-gazing proclivities were decidedly marked while in High School. After all his years of midnight acquain- tance with the stellar bodies his success as astronomer could hardly be unexpected. ZANESVILLE LEADER Zanesville, Ohio, May 15. 1927. The famous artist R.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE March 30, 1930 Warren Scores Ex-President La Follette Senator Warren in his tour thru-out the country strongly opposes Ex-President La Follette's policy in regard to the labor question. Senator Warren says that should the hordes of Chinese be allowed to come into this country, instead of a more peace- able labor class, it will be the means of ruining thousands of American homes, and effect the downfall of the country. Ex- President La Follette argues that the great- est of all harmful organizations namely Union Workers of America would be done away with and such strikes as the Chicago Strikes of 1925 would be impos- sible. It is thought by some that the Ex-President does not really favor this scheme but expects to scare the Trust representatives to make them vote for the proposed bill to give the government power to regulate trust laws. if HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED?

Bank CAPITAL S25,000 Tornah, 'VVis. Something for Young People To Ponder Over- The early formed habit of SAVING, instead of foolish spend- ing, will remain a life-long habit that will pay cash dividends every week of every year. If your child is taught the uses of money and the true value of the SAVING HABIT through actual experience, until reaching the age of sixteen-you have given him the equiv- alent of any college education. To the boy who can save money, a college education is within reach through his own efforts and initiative. He is the boy who will foresee the greater possibilities and the broader opportunities of a higher education. His acquired knowledge of the earning power of a dollar, and it's buying power-will make sacrifice insignificant. Habits of thrift bring sound judgment. He will blaze his own trail for advancement, making the best of every opportunity at hand, creating others, because of his self-reliance and the knowledge that his own efforts bring sure reward. The SAVING HABIT is the surest route to business success. It offers greater opportunities than a college course. In urging parents to see that their children are taught the ad- vantages of the SAVING HABIT, the WARREN'S BANK is pointing the path to future comfort and independence for the young people of TOMAH. We welcome the account of all, young and old, and pay lib- eral interest on each dollar saved and banked. One dollar is sufficient for the first deposit.
