THE UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL MINNEAPOLIS Foreword 'IXl’K becoming a member of the Board 1 of Regents of the University, I have always had a special interest in the University High School. We look to the University High School to establish higher standards and to point the way to better methods in our secondary schools. Through its connection with the College of Education, it is making its influence felt in the high schools and many other institutions throughout the state. The Students at the University High School should consider themselves very fortunate. They have a corps of teachers who are exceptionally capable and loyal. The students. I have noticed, are unusually industrious, and with the individual attention they receive and the special facilities available to them, the course at the University High School should bring out the very best that is in each of them. The graduates will leave the school with a splendid foundation for college life or for any work they undertake. Sincerely, Governor of Minnesota. t Dedication Miss Dora . Smith who for V J the last two years of our high school career has been our wise, patient, and enthusiastic adviser, we, the Class of 1923, gratefully dedicate this, our year-book. .TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII2IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII,. 0202020201020202022353000000000101010101010001010100010131020202010202010202020102020202020101010101020053230000 3M£ O o- ISS DOHA V. SMITH, Insides being our English teacher, has been our ‘‘guiding star” ever since she came back from England, so well fitted for leadership. Every Senior knows that she believes in the motto, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” and yet she knows how to keep us out of too much mischief. The Senior Class take off their bats to Miss Dora V. Smith. give a rising vote of thanks 1 j to Mr. Lynne E. Stoekwell 1 who guided us so well through our first years here. AVe were disappointed upon hearing that business arrangements would prevent his continuing as our adviser, but we appreciate having had a man who could inspire character and class spirit when we were only underclassmen. Hearty thanks to you. Mr. Stoekwell.

The Father Fate of all the years, By the great “I he swore That the Fort of Graduation Should he stormed us ne'er before. By the great ‘ 1 ) he swore it And summoned to “L” High Most brave recruits and earnest Who dared to do and die. II. September of the nineteenth year, In the Twentieth Century, Saw rookies from the grade-schools Hush to the ranks with glee. As verdant as the emerald, Incognizant were they Of hardships, flunks, and perils To beset them on their way. III. Assembled by superiors They looked up to the height, The Fort of Graduation Loomed lofty in their sight. I.’pleading, four embankments They must attack and scale, The last one numbered “23.” If one they lose, they fail. IV. There be nineteen chosen prophets, The most cunning in the land, Who always o’er the cohorts With eagle glances stand. Each day they, unrelenting, Bestir their fiendish brains Producing work which none dare shirk, While each at length complains. V. One of the chosen prophets, Lynn Stockwell of great fame, Advised them for the first two years, Then, midst entreaties and some tears, Abandoned them, despite their fears, In answer to his M. A.’s claim. The prophetess. Miss Smith, helped win The last more strenuous two. She put the J. S., Vaudeville, And Senior class play through. ► 2J I 21 1 VI. The legion was a mighty one, And every man and maid Fought valiantly against exams, And never called for aid. Most diligent in raising dues. They never shirked a task. And through the four years of ascent No quarter’d give nor ask. VII. With Rowland as the Captain hold, The army started siege. Carl, Frcdrica, and “Lou” Congdon Assisted well this liege. The smiles of older veterans, And Court of Kangaroo Improved the young lads’ manners. And their celebrations, too. VIII. Increased in stature, next this group Ascend the second plane. Though more inclined, they mount with ease And o’erpower Caesar’s main. Now Gordon is the leader. And Ruth and Milton aid. And Gilbert, who has left the ranks. With looks and manners staid. IX. Roy, Frances, Mary, Everett, Were chosen leaders next. The hand was glad, victorious. As debaters, athletes, glorious. Won conquests meritorious. And studied well their text. For the timeworn, weary veterans They prepared a festal day, A ceremony called J. S., A Jealous Scramble, gay. X. Then they stormed the last embankment, (’Twas a truly wondrous deed). With Rowland, Ruth, Helen Feuling, And Donald in the lead. They paused one final moment, Silhouetted on the crest. The Fort is won, Their flag they raise, “We’ll give the world our best.” 23 =— t SS 1 o -o mi THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1923 WE, tlu class of nineteen hundred twenty-three of the Cniversitv High School, in the County of Hennepin and the State of Minnesota, being of sound mind and memory and having reached years of discretion, do declare this to he our last Will and Testament, and hereby bequeath our most treasured possessions to those underclassmen whom we think most deserving of them: FIRST: We direct that all our just debts and funeral expenses be paid, and the reputation of the Class preserved by Earlccn Ralph.

Prr.iiilmt...........................Daviii Wixo Vice Pr«� id nt.......................Jitua Parti xotox Secretary............................Dorothy Merritt Trmturtr.............................Robert Rhame I THREW down my pencil in discouragement. It was simply a mental and physical impossibilty to write up that class report for the “Risbila.” I took up the radio phones just in time to hear the beginning of Rachmaninoff's “Prelude,” and settled down comfortably to enjoy myself. I was carried to worlds unknown by those entrancing chords, and a sweet peacefulness stole over me as this was followed bv the strains of Chopin’s “Nocturne.” Everything but that wonderful music was in utter oblivion. Suddenly the music stopped, only the air wave could be heard, and then a voice saying, “This is the Minneapolis station, W. L. A. G., the ‘Call of the North, broadcasting for the Junior Class of the University High School.” The first speaker for this evening is Mr. David Wing, president of the Junior Class. He will tell you of some of the accomplishments of this class during the past year and make a few announcements—Mr. Wing. Mr. Wing: Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears. Won’t you cut yourself a piece of cake? Indeed, I hold only praise for the Junior class. Under the able leadership of Miss McGuire, we have blossomed out into the “best class that ever entered the University High School.” We firmly believe that the J. S. was a huge success, for our great economy could not have been for naught. We only indulged in two inexpensive parties and had a good time on our own ingenuity. Roth of these parties were with the Seniors as preambles to the J. S.

He is also editor-in-chief of the “Campus Breeze,” which never before has been so good. Of course, everyone knows that the .Juniors won the debate, thanks to our able debaters, Gertrude Husby and Donald Van Koughnct. This proves that we are more than frivolous butterflies as some people are wont to say. 1 asked Miss Partington to speak this evening, but, owing to her very modest nature, she declined. I shall have to sing her praises. Miss Partington has upheld the reputation of her ancestors, class, and school, by being elected to Acme. To win this coveted honor, one must secure a unanimous vote of the faculty, which, as you know, is most difficult (not for Peggy, however). 1 awoke with a start. The radio phones were still on my ears and something that sounded a lot like Dave Wing’s orchestra was playing. I yawned.

Treasurer Secretary John McConnell Kvaxoklink Nary Gkobuk Smith IIklen Reilly THE good ship “Sophomore lay rocking quietly near the dock in the harbor of U. Ii. S., preparatory to a cruise on the Sea of Life. Manning its decks was a jolly crew, good and experienced men all, under the able direction of Admiral John McConnell, First Mate Evangeline Nary, Keeper of the Log Helen Reilly, Guard-of-the Treasure Chest George Smith, and Lookout (in the tower) Mr. To-hill. This excellent and most skillful crew, having just returned from a voyage in the worthy vessel “Freshman.” possessed an astounding degree of nautical as well as terrestrial experience. The months, those latitudes through which “The Ship of State” is guided, had one by one been passed, and, despite a few weeks of gray sky anil gloomy weather, the ship had seen comparatively smooth sailing. Then, one sunny day, the crew learned that they were to reach the port of “First Quarter Exams,” when the vessel would he thoroughly cleaned, repaired, and re-stockcd. So far the cruise as marked by ” Kceper-of-thc-Log,” Helen Reilly, had been blessed with the good winds of Athletic Prowess, the sunshine of Good Marks, and the favorable weather of Social Intercourse. Athletic Prowess was attained by both hovs and girls, for the boys made splendid records in football while the girls excelled in soccer and captain-ball, going a long way toward the cherished “cup” which honors the class with the highest record. o- 23 O- I 29 1 Top Row Wheaton, Ncsom, Amy, Preston, Johnson.

It is well also to note that, in spite of outside work in athletics and other things, our class enjoys a good representation on the Honor Roll; and we sincerely hope that we can continue to maintain the same high standard through our remaining years at “L ” High. Although we, in a most fitting and proper manner, have been applying ourselves with great diligence to our school work, we have also found time for several class meetings and a party. Here, although not all the class was able to be present, those who came enjoyed a delightful evening. We “sailed and sailed, as winds might blow,” sighting now and then a pretty island or a coral reef, but meeting no storms. One beautiful day dawned fair and bright out of pure courtesy to the undertaking which was to be staged, for the Sophomores, under the able leadership of Miss Huhman, put on an assembly in which the program consisted mainly of storv-telling, which, because of its unique character, was pleasing to all. When the merry seamen again continued their journey, their close application to the duties at hand showed some excellent results. A week elapsed, and this time the most worthy Ancient History classes deigned to give a very interesting assembly concerning ancient Roman life, customs, and various implements. Because of the great variety of material and the comprehensiveness of the program, it proved very instructive to the audience. During the Second Quarter, the Sophomores again made good records in athletics. A great number of hoys participated in basketball, playing a very clean game and eventually winning the Haggerty Cup. The girls, likewise, worked diligently at captain-ball, but did not win the championship. Apparatus work, although rather strenuous, progressed splendidly with Mildred Borne as chairman, and we excelled both in participants and amount of work done. -o 23 l 3« 1 President.............................Wallace Merritt Vice President........................Maroaret Hayer Secretary-Treasurer...................Werner Gcllaniier Class Adviser.........................Frank Keeler WHO says it’s easy to write up this high and mighty class of Freshmen in six hundred and fifty words? But then, we must get our money’s worth, so I will proceed to try to stretch the necessary hundred or so words into six hundred and fifty. To begin with, we have achieved wonders along the dramatic line. In giving the “Merchant of Venice,” under the able tutelage of Miss Inglis, we found many Shakespearian players, including Virginia ( herrv, Marian Miller, Johnnie Bates, Bud Wing and Bud Merritt. “Better Speech Week” was the inspiration for many budding artists, among them being a Wing. This same person had one of his world famous cartoons in the Foolish Number of the Breeze. And now as for parties! Well just ask any of the numerous upperclassmen (arc you reading this, Eileen?), if we don’t have wonderful times at our parties. It was rumored that Gladys Ladd refused a plate of ice cream. If anyone wants the recipe for our parties, here it is: good music, keen eats and the Freshman Class. And of course we mustn't forget to mention the Sophomore-Freshman, Inc. party, even if some of the Freshman girls were petrified with fear, on account of the wild Sophomore girls vamping the innocent little Freshie hovs. So far all the boys seem to have pulled through, excepting Donnie Mathieson, who, it is rumored, has a severe case of heart trouble. What's the cause, Donnie? -o- 23 E I � I T n� Row Finkebitein, Zclncr. Keppcrly. M. Clark. Lureon, BIhxcII, Amy. I’liulnon, Ericknon. Stafford 2nd Row Winn. Bnlooiue, Dol� k . Clwyney, larawa.

Ford, Hallentlne, Lnsby Our girls, through the kind tutoring of the Junior fair sex, have become very proficient in the art of skipping showers, only three girls having been caught all year. As for our hoys’ athletics, the football team held the Sophomores to three ties, but lost the fourth game. Alan Todd starred in most of the games. The basketball team had worse luck, winning but three games, two from the Sophomores and one from the Juniors. (Note: One of the games we won from the Sophomores was just a practice game, but we won it just the same.) However, the basketball team had one bright spot in its record: Hud Merritt played in one game against Blake, one against Hopkins and two against Bloomington. He also gained great notoriety by spilling sulphuric acid on his trousers one day in science class. On the whole, the boys and girls of the Freshman Class have a promising future in the athletic and scientific world. Our star scholars arc John Hynes and Arthur Frost; I think we’ll all agree as to that. Johnny was awarded four “AV in one month, and I’m sure Mr. Reeve would be glad if we all got marks like that. Taken up one side and down the other, we think the year has been a most successful one, and we thank the upper-classmen for the way they have helped us to get acquainted with “I ” High. We’re sure our year would have been most unsuccessful, had it not been for our teachers, whose help we greatly needed and have appreciated, particularly Mr. Rollefson, who was especially helpful to us. 231 -o O- I 32 I Top How —McConnell. l.llzenlierR.

Two years later it assumed the breezy title by which it is now known. So great has been the success of this project that the termination of the year 19 2.‘3 finds it not only with a place in the Minnesota High School Press Association, hut with its own editor as president of that organization. It is to the untiring efforts and boundless enthusiasm of the adviser of the staff. Miss Inglis, that the “Breeze owes a great portion of its success this year as well as during the past years of its existence. It is she who cheerfully racks her brain in order to solve the many problems confronting the staff, and who, with her never-failing and wise counsel, saves it again and again. The staff likewise extends its gratitude to the business staff, under the direction of Mr. Tohill, who have had a difficult problem to meet this year, owing to the fact that the “Breeze” was left in an unfortunate condition financially at the end of last year. Various measures have been taken to raise money; among these was the “Breeze” benefit dance, which was given on February . 3 at the Men’s Inion. The entire editorial staff deserves a vote of thanks for its promptness in collecting and preparing material. A new feature, “The Faculty Number,” which appeared in February, was established hv this year’s staff. The “Breeze” has been most fortunate in having as its editor this year one as enterprising, able, and ever-dependable as Sam Kirkwood. 3 2J o [ 4 1 Top Kow—Le Compte. Murray. Bull. West. Comstock.

Before we knew it, Thanksgiving was upon us, and, as usual, we planned to distribute baskets of food among the poor in and about Minneapolis. With the hearty cooperation of the school, we got together enough food and money to “put the job over big.” Right on the heels of Thanksgiving came the annual “Older Boys’ Conference.” This conference is held each year during the first part of December for boys from “Hi-Y Clubs” all over the state. This year we sent our two representatives to Rochester for the meeting. Of course, Elbridge Curtis and Roy Thorshov were the chosen two. Then came the “Hum Klean Kampaign.” Mr. Reeve and the rest of the school joined in enthusiastically. The week during which the campaign was held began with talks to the hoys and girls, and ended with an assembly and an excellent talk bv the Reverend Mr. Henderson. During the spring quarter we “put on” the “F. O. B.” (For Other Boys) campaign and the “Friendship Campaign.” Much of the success of the Hi-Y Club and its campaigns is due to the untiring efforts and counsel of Mr. Reeve. We owe him a most hearty vote of thanks and appreciation. I « I o Top Row -F.rickxon. West. Comstock. B;i Iconic, McConnell. Kreeiimn 2ml Row Rollins, llatlinwny. Moulton. Retil. Bom.

THE“U”CLUB THE boys “l’” Club needs no introduction to most of the students: but for those who are not acquainted with it, I will explain something about it. The “I ” Club is an organization of all boys who have won their letters in any of the three major sports: football, baseball, and basketball. Its purpose is to try to form a nucleus of the leaders in athletics whose behavior around school will be a good example for the younger boys to follow. How successful we are is not for us to say. The faculty called our attention to the fact that there was a box in the boys' locker room intended to hold waste paper. After removing a pile of papers we found the box to be quite empty and its would-be contents piled around it. We asked the boys to follow up their shots and get the paper where it belonged. Our locker room is now a respectable place to live in. This is an example of our endeavors to be of some material benefit to the school. It is quite safe to sav that the club is nearly as popular with the girls as it is with the boys. We have the “darlingcst” pins, and the boys are so kind about letting the girls wear them. Last year our annual dance was the biggest bit of the season. It was held in the ballroom of the St. Francis Hotel in St. Paul. We bad a real orchestra, and fancy programs, and everything, and to top it off a buffet supper afterwards. Whether or not we shall have the second of our annual blow-outs depends largely on the school’s appetite for “hot dogs.” However, we plan to do something to celebrate one of our most, if not the most, successful year in athletics. o- 23 E [ I Top Row—Browning:.

This year the three Acineans and seven other girls have succeeded in obtaining the old English “I ”. Special credit is given to the two girls who have worked hard and won their “IE . With the closing of school the “U Club feels that it has completed a very successful year, and is looking forward to a bigger and better year in 1923-1924. MINTY FBUUKO LAMB ACME ...................................HriiN Minty Secretary-Treasurer................Hiux Pbvijxo WEBSTER defines Acme as “the top or highest point.” In the University High School Acme is the only honorary scholastic and athletic society for girls. To become a member the girl must have good standards in scholarship as well as high grades in athletics. This year there have been only three members, but under the leadership of Miss Browning they have endea ored to carry out the principles established by the society. The energies of the members have been devoted toward helping girls earn 180 points from the requirements in Athletics, Scholarship, and Hygiene. With this end in view, two series of hikes ranging from 2 to ( miles, have been conducted. Another of tho duties of the Acmeans is to assist Miss Browning and the class captains in choosing class teams, and supervising the interclass games. At the beginning of this year. Acme gave its annual party for the girls of the school. It was a stunt party this time. The girls divided into groups, and each group put on a stunt. After the prize was given, there was a grand march which ended with a dance. The Acmeans served huge ice cream cones and gum-drop men to their guests. It is hoped that the Acmeans, with a firm foundation in this year’s experience, will be able to perform great deeds next year. 3 23 E ► I i Top Row—Burlmrh. Mnthleson.

Sophomores and Freshmen—nearly thirty strong and growing stronger every day. The Triangle Club came into existence last year, and its members set us a notable example, which we, this year, have tried hard to emulate. We assemble each Wednesday noon in the French Room for lunch and a program. Our program varies weekly, business meeting one week, devotion the next, followed by timely discussions of athletics or other school affairs. We always end with a bit of entertainment. We are often addressed by Y. M. (’. A. leaders and other men of interest. Our aim is two-fold—social and moral. We, by this association, hope to make better students of ourselves, and to help our fellow-students in any way we are able. We consider our club a preparation for the Hi-Y. We want to be an honor to our school and to the great organization whose little brothers we are. Some of us are being promoted to the Hi-Y next year. We leave our place in the Triangle to the new Freshmen, and we hope they will hold high the standard we have tried to set for them, profit by our mistakes, and possibly benefit from our efforts.

De Boer, formerly of the “I ” High faculty has seen the passing of the third year of its existence. This is, primarily, an organization which extends to its members the opportunity of increasing their ability as French conversationalists. Incidentally, it is a social club, providing the very best of times at the meetings, which are held, with true French irregularity, at such times as Mile. Wilva is able to collect sufficient funds for refreshments. There is always a program in which various talented members take part, including very often (by popular demand) that “sweet singer of France,” the beloved adviser of Le Cercle, Mile. Suzanne Hourgoin. There are games also, and dancing—in fact, everything to make things interesting. The one condition is that everything be said and done in the French style. It has been much easier to eat and dance in French than to converse. To Mile.

Just look at us and see if we don’t look like actors, actresses, playwrights, and poets. Our artistic temperament seems to break out all over. One usually thinks that girls hob their hair to be in fashion, but we assure you that it is to make them look more like the actors of Shakespeare’s day. Now attend! The secret of all success in dramatics is the ability to create a sensation. We don’t care how we create it so long as it's big and unexpected. With this in mind, we got an idea—an idea perfect in its unexpected overwhelmingness. We wouldn't appear at all! Unfortunately we were obliged to drop this plan because we just had to follow the usual custom and present a one act play at the Senior Vaudeville. Even if we’d been hard-hearted enough to leave the Seniors in the lurch, we couldn’t have been so radical as to break away from established custom. We then decided on the next greatest sensation. We would remain absolutely inactive until the end of the year, and then surprise you by a tremendous success. Everything went perfectly. No one could have asked for a better execution of our plan. Our inactivity was beautiful; the act, a masterpiece. For people as active as we are, it has been a dreadful strain. Indeed, our part is still inactivity; but—by the time this reaches your hands, dear readers, you will have our sensation. 23 - ( H I O- THE NEW NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY o- 17 OK a long time the principals of secondary schools have cherished a wish that sound scholarship might receive more encouragement than it has in the past. The University of Minnesota High School has fostered such encouragement with its Acme, the Keeve Medal for boys, and the Faculty Women’s Medal for girls. There has now appeared an organization, the National Honor Society, whose purpose is “to create a high regard for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the high school students.” It is hoped that this society will he able to do in the high schools of the United States what such organizations as Phi Beta Kappa have done in the colleges and universities: that is, bv offering some recognition for excellence in scholarship, to create a desire to excel in the field of pure scholarship. Owing to the long delay subsequent to the acceptance of our constitution by the national society it has not been possible to announce the entrance of the University High School into this society or to publish the names of the people from the graduating class of last year who have been elected as charter members of our chapter. The students so elected are: Lawrence Anderson, Greta Clark, Imogcne Foster, Alice Hickey, May Mackintosh, and James Perkins. In order to become a member of this organization a student must have a scholarship rank in the first fourth of the graduating class and have been in residence at least one year in the University High School. Not more than fifteen per cent of any class is elected to membership in the chapter. Members are elected by a three-fourths vote of the high school faculty. The distribution of the emblem, soon to be chosen, is in the hands of the National Council of the Society. The members elected from the class of 1923 will be announced Commencement night. Their names will appear in the next year’s Hisbila. THE MEANING OF “BISBILA” SELECTING an appropriate title for its newly founded annual was a difficult task for the class of 1915. In ideas and ideals, as well as in situation, the University High School represented in miniature the great institution of which it is a part. It was out of respect for the University of Minnesota and its annual publication, “The Gopher,” that the name “Little Gopher” or “Bisbila,” chosen from the Indian language, was given to the University High School’s Senior Annual. o- 23 ( 2 I fokfZB Dous 'IZe.PReLSe.flT Tfoi )I5S V uee AtiD T)R•‘Ree.' e PAu)f Ci a A DAwWce.

By Edith Brown Kirkwood I T whs with no thought of impending repertorial duty that I betook my- ■ self, happily, to the famous J. S., on that evening of Friday, April 20. I was a parent and a chaperone combined, than which nothing can be more digitificdly responsible. In company with other chaperones I sat on the white-enameled, white-cushioned bleachers of the newly-enlarged ballroom of the Men’s I'nion and watched the flight of “speedy” modern youth, in its ambling fox-trot, across the glistening floor. I think it is a little difficult to tell just which of the groups, permitted to attend the .1. S. of 1923, found greatest pleasure in the evening: the excited Sophomores, legitimately thrilled with the chance to “assist” at their first big high school dance; the Juniors, who were the gracious hosts of the evening; the Seniors, who were the pleased guests of honor; the faculty members, who were given an opportunity to prove their youth and good looks to critical students; or the parent-chaperones. The ball room was shiny in its newness; clouds of vari-hued paper butterflies fluttered about the lights; the floor was of mirror-like smoothness; the music alluring. There were new gowns galore-—gowns which made the picture exquisitely colorful. The edict had gone forth that the evening was to be “informal” which, as “an elder” explained facetiously: “Always means that the girls may wear their loveliest evening frocks but the boys must wear their school suits.” Hut, meaning this, the boys (whose wardrobes are not replete with eve-ning regalia) at least were in their own clothes, which had its pictorial advantages. The order, however, also was responsible for a process of elimination which resulted in the appearance of hut one dress suit—that worn, with becoming dignity, by Principal Reeve. We are inclined to believe that this was done in self-denfense. Had he not chosen to let his “light so shine,” the feminine members of his groups would have reduced it to a flickering candle flame. Pretty gowns, you know, tell their tale, after all. Oh yes, you who danced the hours away, we on the sidelines viewed you with deiight and spent an evening whieh moved swiftly. We heard and saw much that was enjoyable. For instance, you, as you danced, did not hear Principal Reeve sing “School Days” lustily, in sheer happiness of the moment and jov over the revival of the old wait , song. ou were too busy wasting that precious waltz music on fox trots! Hut you will learn really to waltz a waltz that is a waltz if Mr. Smith dances with you often. “Gee,” exclaimed an earnest Junior English student, “did you see Mr. Smith waltz? Rabies! Hut he’s a peach of a walt .er! If we could do it that way we’d all waltz.” -o- 23 o l « I We puss the responsibility this implies, on to Mr. Smith. This year, for the first time, I am told, there was inaugurated a .J. S. with more dancing, less eating, and no talking. The innovation proved popular. David Wing, as class president, was in general charge of the evening with Marjorie Merritt as chairman of the refreshment committee; Janet Hilde-brandt, of the decorations; Wirt Strickler, of the music; and Samuel Kirkwood, of the program, and the lucky parents of this quintet were the chaperones. What was our parental viewpoint of the J. S.? That youth, and its festivities, in the generations, are but repeated history. “Even as you and I”—“When you and I were young, Maggie.” We were proud of the J. S. and of you. Let us come again—just to sit on the bleachers. THE TRIGHTFUL FRIALS OF A GRIDE AND BROOM Jr ST as the strains of the tnedding ward) roated out into the Hoorn, the sin twisters of the bride sound a feat near the altar. The rusher ushed to her and fhispered wrantically, “Mardon me, padam, you’re occupuin’ the wrong pic. May I sow you to another sheat?” The bretty pride made a peautiful bicture with her burly cair, and her runch of hoses, leaning on her ather’s farm. The harefree and cappv groom, with a hook of lope on his face, was morning to ceet her. A circular cingumstance followed. Both the groom’s garters slipped their moorings and fell over his fig beet. The groom immediately bent to fix them at the lisk of rosing his talse feeth.

He cried to tonsole her with a beautiful louse and hot on Washington. She wept titter bears incessantly, in slmin or rine, or wair feather.

(The Sophs have even picked on him!!) • ♦ The Caesar classes have many “stars” among them, hut the trouble is that the stars twinkle, disappear, and fall. (Many of us land rather hard!) • • The repairing department of I niversitv High probably won’t have to glue the chairs together for months, as there is enough gum parked in unseen corners of the chairs to hold them together until—Mike Graves graduates. • ♦ Heinie (rushing madly out of the clutches of Chuck at one of the numerous Sophomore parties): “Hey, Pat!

At it was, the Little Theater was filled to more than capacity, even though no effort had been made to advertise the “big event ' outside of the school. However, everybody forgot the crowded condition as soon as the program began, and proceeded to enjoy himself. In fact, some of the ‘'actresses” in the first act, who sneaked out into the audience to “get in on tbe rest of the vaudeville, overheard one man in the audience sav, “Some of these children( !) are every bit as good as the Orpheum Circuit.” The evening’s entertainment was a wide variety, extending from the type of act that is pleasing in its simple prettiness (“simple ’ in its true sense, for once) to the slap-stick comedy kind, both of which met with a warm reception. The first act, which was very original, acquainted us with an odd little group of “live” rag dolls, owned and operated by an old woman named Mrs. Hangs. Tbe dolls were excellently trained, and gave several difficult little dances, recitations, and songs. Poor Mrs. Hangs was rather worried during the whole time, however, because one of her dears, Gloria Gadabout, seemed to be slightly out of commission; her wandering propensity being full on and her brakes being a minus quantity. Kverett Comstock, their “winder,” rose gallantly to the occasion and rescued the excited Gloria at least three times, from falling off the stage. I 1 3 23 o o- o------ — ■ --- Next came a dancing act, for it was thought that, without at least one of this tv pc the vaudeville could lay no claims to professionalism. The graceful maidens were (reading from left to right): Louise Congdon, Dorothy Every, and Mary Stark. For “wise cracks” concerning both dancers and parents, refer to the January number of the “Campus Breeze,” page IT. These lively exponents of terpsichorean art, dressed in lovely and fetching costumes, were assisted bv some very “peppy” and “jazzy” music, provided by “Mike” Graves and others. A parody on “Hamlet,” w ritten by Margaret Jackson, starring “Honkus” Keeler, was acted with much cleverness, and seemed to “get by” almost better than anv other act but the last. The acting was all pantomime, while the play itself, written in modern slang, was read by Helen Minty. Next on the program came a little comedy number by a couple of “cullud ge’mmen,” Lit and Rowlic. Their wit was interspersed with two or three musical selections (if “Tomorrow” and “Lolly” may he called such), one of which induced the “ge’iuinans” to leap forth from the stage and ascend to the balcony. Then the pretty blue curtains opened upon another of the feature acts of the evening the Dramatic Club Play. Critics agree that the parts were very ably taken. Dorothy Every and Samuel Brown Kirkwood, both experienced in amateur theatricals, took the leading parts. Milton Balcomc, who is always reliable in an “old man’s” part, played the I’nclc. After this the stage became suddenly Hooded with several girls in old-fashioned costumes, who sang “Oh, No, John,” and other little tunes, to the delight of the adult part of the audience. This stunt was very prettily done. Their voices were not of the common “screechy,” chorus-girl type. The last act was a “take-oflH’on the preceding one. It resembled, in a way, the famous “Boys’ Ballet” act of last year’s vaudeville, in which “Yoo Hoo” was introduced. There appeared three loving ('f) couples, all boys, in reality, the generous proportions of whose extremities failed to conceal their identity, despite the aid of dainty evening gowns, corsage bouquets, and vanity bags. These masculine ladies and feminine gentlemen gave an extremely clever interpretation of the preceding eighteenth century situation, translated in terms of women’s rights ami man’s declining prestige. They received a very hearty encore at the end, which fact speaks for itself as to the reception of the act. The well-known “Kernel Comstock,” starred in “Tit Willow,” which served as an accompaniment for his dainty little dance steps. Mademoiselles Esther Bullis and Eileen Kyle, featuring the “Little Red School House,” and Frances Hermann and Fredrica Alwav, in their eighteenth-century costumes, tripping a stately dance, furnished entertainment in the longer waits between acts. Much thanks is due “Mugs” Erickson, a last year’s graduate, for her playing, without which the event could hardly have been staged. Bouquets of appreciation should be thrown at Miss Dora Smith, the Seniors’ faithful adviser, who, as usual, was “back of it all,” and to all the other folks who co-operated in making the vaudeville such a success. o- 2 j 1 i««i Comstock NIHiol Jack-on Ttior-Oim Balcome Dnvls CurtU Moulton Binscll Every Murray DuKresne l.ltxenl cnr Hermann “HIS MAJESTY BUNKER BEAN” THIS is a big play; it'll take a lot of work and some good players to put it across, hut I believe we can do it. Do you folks want to try it! An exact replica of Mr. Busch's first words. “Of course we can; try us out.” This came in one accord from the Seniors that started the Senior class play, hut the “chosen few” and Ray Busch were left to finish it in proper style. Many and long were the rehearsals, where such choice hits as these might he overheard: “Well, I perfectly don't care, Granny says—This from Rosalia DuKresne, the flapper, upholding her demon grandmother, Wilva Davis. “That's good, Gladys, keep up that monotone, and we’ll say you were made for the part of Mops, and Dick, a little more gruff on that “Take o letter’ stuff.

Scene I. “Everybody serious now! This is going to he effective if you’ll get that mystery air.” The Countess, Dot Every, has a terrible time trying to pretend she knows the lines, and keep her eye on Ruth Hildebrandt. official prompter, all at the same time. Being urged on, however, by two efficient “crooks” (Rowland and Carl), she succeeds in putting over a big deal on “His Majesty.” “Where’s Thorshov? Conversing again with the Countess Maid?” “Remember your cues there, Janitor!” Q ■ =1 2 j EE1 I----- •Twould lx hut folly to attempt to enumerate the rest of the remarks heard so frequently at rehearsals, for indeed, they were numberless. Suffice it to sav that after a few short weeks the play would be a huge and lasting success, and its characters well on the way to success in the field of dramatic art. The “finished products,’’ however, were willing to admit that the coach, Mr. Roy Busch, had considerable “raw material” in the beginning and that thev owed their entire success to his untiring efforts during the aforesaid rehearsals. DRAMATIC CLUB UP AGAINST IT,” a one-act comedy, was chosen by the Dramatic Club to he given in connection with the Senior Vaudeville this year. Although this was the first attempt of the club Since its production of Sheridan’s “Rivals” last year, it proved a worthy successor. The play centers about two pairs of lovers, a blundering old uncle, and a spinster. Various amusing entanglements occur because the two gentlemen lovers and the two girls have the same names. It has been rumored on several occasions that, on account of their remarkable success in this production, Sam Kirkwood and Dorothy Every are thinking seriously of accepting offers from a Broadway stock company next season. Dick Balcome, however, fears he will acquire rheumatism if he continues to play the grouchy old gentleman roles. Rosalia Du Fresne and Frank Keeler, as the ultra-modern type of lovers, were all that could he desired in the best of comedies. Jim’s darkv dialect, and the up-to-the-minute slang phrases used by Emory, furnished a needed touch of humor. It may he added, without amiss, that both seemed right at home in these character roles. An attractive touch was added to the play by the men’s white flannels and the colorful evening gowns worn by the girls. The costumes of the character parts made a good contrast hv their appeal to the ridiculous. . . Dorothy Every Samuel B. Kirkwood Rosalia Du Fresne . . Frank Keeler . Dorothy Jackson . .

West, Reed, Bnleofne FOOTBALL THE 1922 cloven, under the leadership of Elbridgc Curtis, played an in-and-out season and finished with the usual record of three wins, three losses, and three ties. Three coaches were necessary to handle the football squad, which totalled nearly fifty players. C. G. Aaberg, the new athletic director, assisted by V. It. Smith, coached the Varsity and second string men, while M. T. .McMillan tutored the Sophomore and Freshmen teams. The Varsity bucked up against the Alumni in the opening game and were bumped by an overwhelming score. The team played well, handicapped as it was by insufficient practice, but was no match for an eleven composed of a galaxy of former outstanding gridiron greats. The team next invaded Hopkins, and returned with a well-earned ( -() victory to its credit. The game was played during a steady downpour, which forced both teams to rely on straight football. Wayzata was met, the following week, on their own grounds, in another rainy afternoon struggle. The teams were evenly matched, but Wayzata scored on a forward pass in the second half, and the game ended in their favor, 7-0. Vocational High was played in what was expected to be an easy midweek practice game. The team got careless, however, when it bail victory virtually in its grasp, while Vocational came up from behind and tied the count, 12-12. The game with Edison High showed every indication of developing into a pretty struggle, when a dispute over a referee’s decision ended the Q =3 2 j l 72 I frame abruptly before the end of the first half. The game was a scoreless tie at its termination. The Varsity next encountered Roosevelt, and won, -(), in a bitterly-fought game. The teams were of equal calibre, but a forward pass early in the game gave the Varsity an advantage which it held until the final whistle. The annual game with Blake, which was played at the Hopkins institution, ended in a 12-0 win for the Brown and White. The team put up a good fight, but Blake, profiting bv the breaks of the game, was enabled to carry the ball across the goal line twice. The team journeyed to Shakopce and won a 19-113 victory in a hard-fought contest. Shakopce piled up all their points in the first five minutes of play, but were kept scoreless from then on, while this lead was being slowly and surely overcome. The season was brought to a conclusion in a game against St. Ibiul Academy, on Northrup Field, which ended in a 13-13 tie. With but ten minutes to plav, and the score 13-0 against them, the Maroon and Gold gridders finished the season in great style by putting across two touchdowns, and turning apparent defeat into a well-deserved tie. The S. I . A. game ended the football careers of Captain Curtis, Bal-comc, Bisscll, Boss, Freeman, Litzenberg, Nelson, Sanderson and West. Jim McConnell will captain the 1923 eleven.

It won seven out of twelve games, and rolled up 278 points to its opponents 228. The season was opened out of town, with a game against Bed Wing Seminary. The boys got off to a good start, but failure to locate the basket in the final period lost them the game. 28-17. The team lost two hotly-contested games with St. Thomas High, by close margins. The first argument ended 27-22, while the score of the final tussle was 21-16. The quint fought gamely in both contests, but it hadn’t yet bit its stride. The team's first victory was gained at the expense of l)c La Salle, which was vanquished by a 21-11 score. The game was the most fiercely contested of the year, but the team played clean and won on its merits. The two-game series with St. Paul Academy was split, each team winning on its opponents floor. The first game was won by the Saintly aggregation, 20-18, while in the second game our boys came back, scored at will, and pocketed the decision, 31-21. 1 lie first of two games with Hopkins was won by the out-of-town team on their own floor, 26-17. In the second mix, on the Farm School floor, however, the Hopkins quint was buried under a 32-10 count. I wo games were played with Bloomington, and each ended disastrously for the suburban five. They were put to rout with a 32-16 count in the first game, and overwhelmed by a 37-18 score in the final. -o- 3 2JE o t 7 | Both panics with Blake were closely, and bitterly fought, but the team outplayed them in each game, and won the decision twice. The first game was the closest of the season, and was decided by a 23-2 2 score. The last encounter with Blake, which was incidentally the final game of the season for both quints, ended 12-8. Five letter men will be back in 1924, so a season as successful as the one that has just been reviewed seems assured. 1923 Scoring Record Games Field Goals Free Throws Points out of Dicker 12 89 39 HO 117 McQnillun 10 32 13 21 77 Miller 10 Curtis 12 11 0 1 22 Pierce n 10 Boss 4 s Freeman 2 4 I 2 12 113 52 102 278 THE INTERCLASS BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT fPHE Haggerty Cup, the symbol of the championship of the Interclass 1 Basketball Tournament, was won by the Sophomores.

McQuIlllin BASEBALL THE 1‘nivcrsitv High Baseball Team, captained by Johnny Flannagan, came through the 192 2 season with seven victories and eleven defeats. The nine went up against some strong combinations and performed creditably at all times. The wins were all earned and well deserved, while the losses, with a few exceptions, were by small margins. The season opened with five practice games against three different Minneapolis high schools. Two victories in a three-game series was the record against North, while defeats were handed us by East and Central. The team journeyed to Faribault, April 22nd, for the annual game with Shattuck. and were defeated in a stubbornly-contested game, 9-6. Upon returning, the nine met the Alumni, encountered little resistance, and won, as usual. A two-game series with Minnesota College was split, each team winning a well-earned victory. Bethel Academy was met twice. The Lutherans won the first game, but were shut out by a 11-0 score in the second, (’retin High defeated us twice, in closely contested games that were decided bv one and two point margins. Minnehaha Academy was decisively defeated on its home lot, and failed to show up when scheduled to plav a return game on our grounds. Mid- season games with South and St. Paul Central were dropped by close scores. After losing the first game to Blake, 12-11, the team came back and successfully closed the season hv trimming the Hopkins school on their own grounds in one of the best played contests of the year, 4-1. With Captain Miller and five other letter men as a nucleus, it is confidently predicted that the 1923 season will be one of the most successful ever experienced by a “I High team. 1922 tinttinn I t 'crapes c; AB K 11 2B 3B HR J It Pet.

The floor work consisted of marching, calis-thenic drills, apparatus work, and dancing. In the fall, the outside work was taken up with soccer, and this spring we expect to have baseball with some additional track work. A new feature in the girls’ work is the squad competition in apparatus. Each class is divided into about three squads. Points are given in vaults, suspension exercises, broad jump ami high jump, and basket throwing. This competition has made interest in appartus much more keen. Soccer When the autumn term opened, the boys began to play football. The girls, not to be outdone, learned to play a new game, soccer, which someone said was ladv-like football. Boys on their way to the football field stopped to stare at what they saw on the hockey field. The dignified Seniors, girlish Juniors, giggling Sophomores and timid Freshmen, with faces flushed, hair streaming, ami breath coming in pants, were all trying to kick the soccer ball. I'p� n asking the guard, the only person who was not chasing the ball, what the object of the game was, one bov got the following answer: “Oh, I stav here and guard the goal. I am trying to keep the ball from getting 23 E ■o l« 1 - into this cage. It’s a hard job, too, because I’m so short that Bessie Baron kicks the balls right over my head. Those girls with coats on are the full backs. They help me guard the goal, and the half backs keep the ball away from here. Those girls up there where the ball is are the forwards and half backs. The forwards are supposed to go ahead and advance the ball when the half backs put it through the opposing line. Here they come! Lookout! The mass clamored about the goal and fought like mad to put the ball into the cage. At last the ball was kicked up the field again. The guard sighed and sat down on the grass. Now that you know what the game is, you might like to know who won the championship. The first game, played October 12th, between the Sophomores and Junior-Freshman teams was won by the .Junior-Freshman girls. The Sophomores then played the Seniors and tied; so they played again. The Sophomores won this game and wanted to play the Junior-Freshman team again. On November 9th, they played the final game of the season. Much to the surprise of the Juniors, the Sophomores won and were hailed as the soccer champions of the school. Apparatus Work Apparatus work for play hour is a new feature introduced this year. Hitherto a regular game has been played each quarter, but the second quarter of this year has been taken up with apparatus acrobatics. The girls like the work, for usually every one is proficient in at least one line— whether or not she would have excelled in some game. There is always something new or novel at each play hour, and every one has chances to exhibit her acrobatic ability at everything. An onlooker at one of the sessions might be amused at some of the grotesque antics displayed, for the tall, “skinny” girls have trouble in taking care of their legs and feet; the short, chunky ones seem unusually attracted bv the laws of gravity; and the tall, stout ones, and short, thin ones, have their difficulties, too. One great incentive for attendance for apparatus work is the fact that individuals may earn points for the respective squads as well as for the cup. Consequently, there is much keen competition, and some girls have won points numbering in the hundreds. The girls have benefited much by this new type of work, and they hope to practice swinging from the boom and ladder, jumping over the buck, doing all sorts of vaults, climbing ropes, and so forth, again next year. LETTERS Letters have been awarded at two different assemblies, so far this year. Since the change in Acme constitution, it has been thought wise to change the letters from the block style to Old F.nglish. The changes have made it necessary that the girls make their points from several different groups, as well as from a larger number of groups, the limit from any one group being 45 points. 23 EE-!- —c- o- [ TS 1 mi The “I’” Club has decided to award “H”s and “S’ s. in addition to the “l ”s awarded by Acme. Such a scheme prevents a girl from being active long enough to secure a “I'”, and then becoming disinterested and idle for lack of further incentive. For her “I” a girl must win ISO points, for an “H” 150 additional points, and for an “S” 100 points more. Eight “C”s and two “IT’s have been given this year, and it is expected that many of the girls will receive letters besides these. Eleanor King, Ethel Lamb, Helen Feuling, Louise Leland, Bessie Bacon, Mary Payne, Frances Hickey, and Helen Minty have received and Louise Leland and Eleanor King, “IT's. THE CUP 'ria- silver loving cup, which holds a place of honor in the study ball, is an object of much competition among the girls. It is won bv the class of girls which obtains the most points for going to play hour, obtaining “A’’s in posture and gymnasium, and for winning any of the tournaments held during the year. The scores at the end of the winter quarter were: Sophomores K)7, Seniors 200, Freshmen 220, and Juniors 20 L The (’up now bears the following inscriptions: Won by the Class of 1022 in 1020; Won by the Class of 1024 in 1021; Won by the Class of 1925 in 1022. If the Sophomores keep up their record, they will hold the cup for another year. The girls of the other classes had better get to work, if they are to win the cup. CAPTAINBALL Although the unearthly yells which issued from the Women’s Gymnasium every Tuesday and 'Thursday afternoon, last fall, might have perplexed a stranger, everyone acquainted with the “C” High realized that the Girls Captainball tournament was on. Girls athletics have never been more promising than during the captainball season. Every one showed great enthusiasm. 'The Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, all fought madly for the championship. The Freshmen had a dandy team, but, as height is very desirable in such a game, they were at a decided disadvantage. Although they won no games, they deserve fully as much credit as the upper class teams. In the first round the three upper classes won two games each- the Seniors defeating the Freshmen and Sophomores; the Juniors beating the Seniors and 1‘ reshmen; and the Sophomores subduing the Juniors and Freshmen. 'The Seniors, who beat the Juniors .'3-2, then the Sophomores (5-1, thereby winning the tournament, were as follows: I ™ I o- 23 E ____________SM£ O- - - Hkssik Bacon...................

Keen the more sedate Seniors limber lip when they get on the gym floor. The exhibition comes later than usual this year, and the material for the “Bisbila” has to be in so early that the actual happenings cannot be given here. But this is what's promised: The exhibition will take place on Friday evening, April 27, at eight o’clock. There will be the usual class marching. The Freshmen will do front and flank marching. Oblique inarching will be done by the Sophomores, and inarching in fours will give the Juniors a chance to shine. The marching in fours by the Seniors will be different from that of the Juniors, in that it is more complicated in style and requires greater accuracy in the execution of commands. The inarching will be in the formation of squads. As usual, the classes will be marked on their marching. However, in the apparatus work they will not be marked, because of a meet to be held especially for this. There will be all different kinds of apparatus work, such as vautling, rope climbing, and suspension feats. There will be folk dancing put on by one of the lower classes. The Seniors are especially looking forward to the Junior-Senior C'ap-tainhall game. In the first round of the tournament the Juniors beat the Seniors; but in the second round the Seniors won the championship: so there is little doubt but that the Seniors will win in the exhibition. The obstacle relay race will cause the most merriment, undoubtedly. It will be run by four girls out of each class, and the runners will be required to do such things as jumping over a buck or horse, circling around an array of Indian clubs, turning a somersault, and scrambling under a decidedly low bench. Last year it was a tie, hut here, again, the Seniors hope to win. The last thing on the program will he the awarding of letters. It is expected that several Freshmen will receive their “l' s. After having such excellent instruction under Miss Browning, the gills certainly ought to put on one of the best exhibitions “I High has ever seen. mi Vfpo il fcicj AU of INNOCfNCf- bor4 A tma.
