Rollefson, who successfully guided us through our first three years of high school life. Miss Ruth O'Brien has been the staff upon which the class of 26 has leaned wherever things dramatic were involved. To her is due the credit for the successful production of the Vodvil and Class Play, and we wish to take this opportunity of expressing our deep gratitude to her. We also wish to express our gratitude to Miss Mary Gold, who has made herself indispensable to us in the capacity of class adviser during our Senior year, the busiest and most difficult of all. Miss Mabel Prothers has been “faithful to the end” in her position as aide to the Bisbila editorial staff. Her work in this field, as well as the assistance she has rendered Miss O'Brien in dramatics, has been greatly appreciated by the Seniors. Of 1 F ve 1 9 2 ( B I S B I L A THE FACULTY Charles W.

Seems good after escaping Latin for three months. October 21: Had a pretty good time this afternoon at the Freshman and Junior girls’ tea. We met up in the former girls’ Club Room. The Freshmen gave a nice little program. Afterwards we danced and had lemonade and cookies. So far so good. October 28: The only thing that happened today of any importance was the posting and reading of our “Junior Newssance.” Henry Clark's “Hurried Mastication of Food During the Lunch Hour was extremely funny. I saw a Freshie, after reading it, engage himself in a series of spasms and convulsions. Arthur’s “Holidays' and “Famous Alumnus” were “entertaining,” so to say. November 6: The Junior Mothers’ tea took place this afternoon in same place as Freshman-Sophomore tea. Before going to find our mothers, we discussed the weighty matter of our “Junior Yodvil.” our advertisement for the Senior Vodvil. Afterwards, I found mother. Glad she came. Ellen Oren. Madge Strickler, and Alice Kelm were on the program. Pretty good program, too. We had a tea, plus all the frills. ’Sail for tonight. Ttrnitf -yive Y1 v 19 2 0 B I S B I L A 19 2 0 November 13: Juniors sold armbands, buttons, and megaphones at Homecoming Game. Nothing new. December 15: At Assembly we, the Junior members of the Dramatic Club, gave our African scene, the ad for the Senior Yodvil. Jack was king, a wild one too. I giggled too hard to say “Your Majesty.” Helen Wildes voice is loud enough for two anyway. Mr. Pep sat in the front row and laughed and laughed. He was the only one I could see. December 23: Came out in my exams all right. Could have been worse. Got A A on Junior theme. March 12: Had debate to-day. Lost to those boys, of course. Have noticed loads of new Juniors on the Breeze staff. March 17: Began exams to-day. English wasn’t easy. 1 wish this week were over. March 26: Arthur got seven A’s, either for the month or the quarter. Can't remember which. W ish I were as bright as he. “If at first you don’t succeed. Try, try, again. April 1: At seventh period we had a class meeting, about the J. S., of course. The seniors invited us to a “Preamble.” given in honor of the Juniors, on April ninth. I hope I can go. April 9: Went to preamble. Loads of fun. Danced six times with “him. My, but I am tired. Guess I’ll sleep all day tomorrow. April 24: My, what a time! The Union was gorgeous, decorated with “Bohemian” decorations. The orchestra was superb. Wore my new green chiffon and silver slippers. Never felt so happy in all my life! Nearly all the girls had new dresses. I’he boys were spruced up too, especially “him.” I honestly had a dance with Mr. Garlough. Never was so thrilled. Hope mother doesn’t see this diary, especially this page. Oooooh! I’m so tired. June 1: School is almost over. Then only three months and I’m a Senior, a lofty Senior. This too sad to think about In only one year I'll graduate. It doesn’t seem possible. “Ternpus surely does “fugit.” Amen. Ttccnly-Six THE SOPHOMORES I'wenty-Srven DO you see those four stars going around that well-beaten, time-worn school orbit? The second one, the little star Sophomore, is the liveliest and brighest one of all. It sends out brilliant and illuminating rays to the dark little star. Freshman. but happily receives the same inspiring rays from the two stars ahead. The space on this select star is very limited, so the rent for a place to “shine is quite high, being twenty-live cents every month. But we’ll tell the world it-worth it! The chief shiner on our star is Mr. Ilaertter. our class adviser. We have two plane geometry classes, one little one and one big one. Mr. Haertter’s object is to see which class he can make shine the best. So far. the best shiners in the big class shine better than the best shiners in the little class, but the poor shiners in the large class do not shine as well as the poor shiners in the small class, so it’s about even. The officers elected to guide us along the strait ami narrow orbit this year are as follows: Daniel Carroll, our president, who pounds with everything from fists to erasers, but makes very little oppression on the rampaging tongues in class meetings. Andrea Kiefer, our vice-president. who will have to assist Daniel if his voice gives out, Jane Armstrong, otlr secretary, who, if she wrote everything that is said in our class-meetings, would write from now till Doomsday, and Douglas Erskine, our treasurer, very lieartfess when it comes to collecting quarters. 1 9 2 6 B I S B I L A 1 9 2 G Our class has not lost its scholastic record of last year. In fact, even more Sophomores names are “shining” on the roll of honor this year than last. We are extremely proud of the Sophomore hoys who have been on the 1925 football team. Here is a list of the notable stars: Alonzo Vrooman, Lardner Coffey, -----? -----? ?. who are known to have lots of fight. The Sophomore girls are not lacking in pep and fighting spirit either We are striving hard to win the 1925 Athletic Cup. It was won by the Senior Class last year, hut there are exceptions to every rule! On a certain gala day about the middle of December, we had a most wonderful time. It was our first real party, all by ourselves, and we had an orchestra and ‘‘eats' and everything! And didn’t the Juniors and Seniors wish they were hack in our shoe , and the Freshmen that they had come a year earlier? About Christmas Vacation, and another time in the early Spring, we experienced some very hard mental work, and despair was almost upon us, when we realized that approximately seven more times we should have to suffer thus. So passed our eventful Sophomore year crammed to the very brim with ‘pepping ’ good times, and now we look eagerly forward to our last two years at I niversity High Sc!...I. i Txceniy-Bight N I ' ■ AH! THE FRESHMEN! THE Freshmen of 1925-26 boast tin large.-t class that has ever entered I nfvefiily High School. However, the numbers of the boys are somewhat stronger than the girls, leading by twelve per cent. Furthermore, thirty-three percent of the students are from Minneapolis, and sixty-seven per cent are from St. Paul. Still more unusual in the history of the school, for the first time fifty-two students are reciting in one class, a first hour Freshman English class. During the first month of school, officers were elected. Donald Keick assumed the role of president; Nels Stalheim, treasurer, and Marjorie Myers, secretary. With these officers it seemed immediately that the year was to be a successful one. As to the class adviser, Miss Smith, of course none better could be found. Many a time when the youthful innocence of the Freshmen requires the more experienced advice of someone older. Miss Smith is always smiling and willing to give it. T ' . fl 1 1) 2 « B I S B I L A 1 9 2 C OUR CLASS ADVISER We’re just the little Freshmen, And the whole school knows it, too, They criticize our every act. No matter what we do. We try to sell our “Evergreen’’ To everyone we see. But then they turn their noses up, As snobbish as can be. Perhaps you don’t believe this thing. You think it is a myth? All right, just ask the one you know, Who cheers us on. Miss Smith. The class of ’29 has done something unusual for a Freshman class at U. High. It has published six consecutive numbers of a Freshman paper which appeared on or around the fifteenth of each month. 'This paper appears under the appropriate name “The Freshman Evergreen, and usually consists of from twelve to fourteen pages. As to Athletics, we have been much elated ever since Daniel Grates captured second place in one contest and first in another. We are proud of him. 1 hen, too, we can’t forget the girls taking the basketball championship away from the Seniors. As this is the Senior hook, we can’t say much about it here, but if you will ask us privately, sometime, we will tell you all of the particulars. We also have a debate team to be proud of. We had our tryouts during the second month of school, and the judges chose Lee Lovinger, chairman; Raymond Pepinsky, and Marion Gove for the regular team, and Nels Stalheim as substitute. Although the Sophomores won the Freshman-Sophomore debate, February 25, the margin was a very narrow one. and the judges had a hard time deciding the outcome. We have been well-represented on the honor-roll. Those representing us: All A’s and B’s, Patty Hynes. Marjorie Myers, Caroline Kittoe, and Charles Jones, and those having a B average, Anne Armestrong, Thelma Brown, Ruth Burkhard. Margaret Ebert, Raymond Pepinsky, Elizabeth Shippee, Helen Webster, Ada Fuller, Marion Gold, and Rosalind Mac Bean. For Thanksgiving we are proud to say that we furnished a family of twelve with a delightful Thanksgiving dinner. We feel that this gave us more to be thankful for on Thanksgiving. As for our social affairs, we have entertained ourselves at two parties, one on Friday afternoon preceding Hallowe'en, and one February 19. Both were given in Room 2(H. and both were very successful. We are looking forward to the time when we will become Sophomores, and we are all working hard for that end.

High. It has sponsored both social and business activities, and wishes to give concrete examples of its accomplishments. Homecoming, the initial social gathering of the year, was entirely in the hands of the Senate. The point system, the bookstore, and the lost-and-found department have all been established by the Senate, and though these institutions are yet in a very immature stage of development, the coming year will undoubtedly prove their indispensability to the school. Last year the untiring efforts of Miss McGuire proved to be an inspiration to our organization, and this year Miss O’Brien deserves unlimited thanks for her great assistance to us. Indications point to the fact that in the future the Senate will attain a higher degree of perfection, and will function with a more adequate efficiency than the Senate of 1925-20. Problems are presenting themselves almost daily, and the Senate will, when occasion demands, broaden its jurisdiction over curricular activities, so that, in time, it will have definite activities assigned to its care.

Font, V athlturn, Tkotihot, Strickler THE CAMPUS BREEZE THE year 1925-26 was a rather hectic one for the Campus Breeze. Much “midnight oil was burned, as a result of which a great deal was accomplished. Due to the forensic powers—or shall we say indiscretion—of last year s staff, the annual Minnesota State High School Press Association Convention was held at University High School. With the whole-hearted cooperation of the entire school, the staff put over what is believed to be the most successful convention yet held in the state. According to a prominent Minneapolis high school editor, it was organized much better than the National Convention at Madison. Out of twenty-five newspapers received by the exchange department, fifteen mentioned this year’s convention as the best thus far. Because of time spent on the convention, the staff could put out only two numbers of the Breeze the first quarter. These were the last of the Breeze in the magazine form, and they did not fall beneath the standard of their predecessors. At the first of the new year, it was decided to change the Campus Breeze from a magazine to a bi-weekly newspaper. This was done because it was thought that a greater number of people would gain more experience on a newspaper than on a magazine. The first number came out the last of January and was spoken of very higlily by several prominent journalists. When asked for a few words concerning the paper. Prank Bissell, editor-in-chief, said, “The staff owes a deep debt of gratitude to Miss Kewey Belle Inglis, the adviser. She has given some excellent advice and more than once the fact that the paper has come out on time has been due to her efforts. Thirty Three 19 2 6 B I S B I L A 1 9 2 0 Back How Merrill.

The U Club is an organization of all boys who have won their letter in any of the major sports, including footbull, swimming, basketball, track, and baseball. 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. Last year a committee was appointed to draw up a constitution with the aid of Mr. Tohill. This was the first time any definite steps had been taken in this direction. In the past. I High has had a reputation among her various competitors for good sportsmanship. In many cases when our teams have been on trips, the write-ups given us by our opponents, have complimented us on our spirit, both on the field and off. This is one of the things that the I Club intends to perpetuate. A school may acquire a reputation for having winning teams, but if a victory is not accomplished by fair play, it amounts to practically nothing.

A “Black List” has been introduced, in which a girl, who is a member of “IT Club, cannot be absent from “I'lay Hour more than fifty per cent of the time; and cannot obtain below a “C average in gym and scholarship. The purpose of the Club now is to unite all girls of superior character and physical ability, and to develop good sportsmanship. We have made wonderful progress this year, and our new gym director. Miss Bockstruck, has helped us out by her many original suggestions, and by her good fellowship. We have had several supper meetings, in which we have ull become better acquainted, and we hope in the future to become more so. This year, three Sophomore girls have obtained their letters. Due to the difficulty of gaining the “I ,” this is indeed an honor. The girls are: Lillian Bissell, Andrea Kiefer, and Lois Finger.

He, with the help of Mr. Christianson, has made a real organization of the club, and much good work has been accomplished. At first, the meetings were held Monday mornings, but, because of the vigorous opposition of some of our very “ambitious young gentlemen, we were forced to change the time of meeting to Monday noon. The average attendance is eleven young men. « The meetings are usually devoted to the general discussion of social problems, and these discussions have proved very helpful, all the members agreeing that they are extremely interesting. Last year, when the officers were to be elected, it was agreed that only president should be elected. This scheme has worked out very well in the last year, and it is very likely that the precedent will be followed in succeeding years. Thirty Six 1 9 2 6 B I S 1!

It has certainly done its best this year, and has accomplished a great deal, when it is considered that every member is new in her place, and that there are only four members in all. However, with the combined efforts of all the girls and our helpful leader. Miss Bockstruck, we have made as great a success as other groups of Acme. No praise is high enough for Miss Bockstruck, and we all hope that she will remain with us a long time. Thirty-Sr ten I 1 9 2 6 B I S B I I.

Miss Ruth O'Brien, chairman pro tem, announced that nominations for officers were in order: and the election then took place. Leonard Finkel-stein was elected president, Albert Rice, vice-president, and Lesley Lieb, secretary and treasurer. Immediately after the election Leonard took the chair and appointed a play selection committee consisting of: Madge Strickler. chairman, Alice Kelm, Jo-ephine I I-rich. and John Bates. Next the question of dues arose and was very heartily debated. Finally, despite tin vigorous opposition of “Fred.” “Al. ami “Mer, the dues were ettled on at twenty-five cents a quarter. Miss Ruth O'Brien then informed us that the Dramatic Club would give a one act play in The Senior Vodvil, which would take place December IB and 19. After this important hit of information was imparted to the more or less attentive actors, the meeting was adjourned. The Senior Vodvil was success fully “put over” on the above dates.

CURTAIN Thirty Sine 19 2 6 B I S B I L A 19 2 6 THE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB THE Girls’ Glee Club is completing a most successful year under the skilful ami painstaking direction of Miss Holmes. The first appearance of importance made by the Club was in a group of songs sung for the Minnesota State High School Press Association in November. During the Christmas season the Club sang a program of carols at the High School Christmas party. The most pretentious undertaking of the Club was the production jointly with the Boys' Glee Club, of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Trial by Jury,” held at the Music Auditorium the latter part of February. At present, the Club is working on several numbers which are to be sung in the State Music Contest, the final appearance of the club. Forty 1 9 2 6 B I S B I L A 1 9 2 (� THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB TWO hundred words is the limit, and there’s a lot to he said. The Glee Cluh is under the able leadership of Miss Beatrice Holmes, music director at University High School. I he Glee Cluh now numbers twelve, eight of whom compose the Boys Double (Quartet, the other four being added to comply with the rules of the state high school music contest, which the Glee Cluh is to enter some time in April. As the Glee Cluh has been but recently formed, the rest of this short account will be on the doings of the quartet. Some of the past and noted performance were given before the St. Paul Rotarians at their Christinas party, at the Christmas party of the Lampland Lumber Company, over the radio station WCCO, at the St. Anthony Park Methodist Church, and, last hut not least, the University High Operetta. There is also a standing invitation from the Hamline Methodist Church, and a return engagement at the St. Anthony Park Methodist Church. Another radio program is also in the air. However, at present, most of the work is being directed toward the slate contest. The personnel of the Glee Cluh is as follows, the first eight composing the double quartet: Francis Wing, Clifford Men . Albert Bice, Arthur Lampland, William Lesher, Floyd DeVinney, Everet lusher, Ronald Woolery. Donald Thompson, Allyn Miller, Robert DeVinney. Miss Holmes should he very greatly complimented on her work with the Glee Cluh and quartet.

During the summer the Club under its present management and directed by Florence Lambcrton, organized a Rig Sister movement under which each Junior girl was asked to get into touch with some incoming Freshman girl and help her through the first days in a new school. At the close of the week the Juniors entertained their churges at a “get-acquainted party. With the changing of headquarters from 215 to 103, the girls faced again the problem of fitting up the new room. This was accomplished very satisfactorily with the advice and help of Miss Amidon and the chairman of the room committee. Margaret Kepperly. As the Club could not carry on work without funds, Virginia Bollinger, chairman of the finance committee, suggested a paper sale. This sale, under the leadership of Helen Struble, netted us over twenty dollars, and permitted us to pay the remaining debts incurred in the furnishing of the club room. The Big Sisters are now arranging a “pie sale, from the proceeds of which table linen and a table for the Club will he bought. The girls have given a series of teas for each class to make it possible for the mothers to become better acquainted with the school, faculty, and students. Marion Miller has been in complete charge of these teas. Mrs. Patterson, who is largely responsible for our success, is establishing a discussion period during the Wednesday lunch hour, for such matters as might be of interest to the girls. A question box has been introduced in connection with this discussion period. At the last meeting of the year we hope to have a speaker from the Bureau of Vocational Guidance as our guest.

In the middle of September Coach Hanson took over a squad of many untried men and a few experienced ones. The veterans who reported for the initial practice were Captain Merritt, Gullander, Al Todd, Stafford. Berry, Tucker, Stan Todd, and Robertson. The team faced the Alumni September 25, and, although the graduates were victorious, winning by a 19-7 score, the 1925 U High team showed an ability to absorb the fundamentals of the game. Dame Fortune smiled upon Excelsior and, as a result, deprived I niversity High of the services of Captain Bud Merritt and left tackle Todd in the first minutes of the game. With these two stellar athletes out of the maroon and gold lineup, the I High fellows continued to fight, and held the powerful, experienced team to a 13 0 score. The team journeyed to Hopkins October 10, and faced the Hopkins eleven in its native haunts. U High played without Captain Merritt and Todd. Bowes broke away for several spectacular runs, and Al Tucker, with yeoman-like assistance from Guliander, played a wonderful game in the halfback position. The score was 26-6 in favor of Hopkins. AI Todd rejoined the squad for the Mound game, and with his assistance the linesmen withstood the plunges of the Mound backs. Although neither team was able to score, the game might he considered a moral victory from the standpoint of a II High follower. The Mound contest was the first big home game of the season, and was played on October 1 i. Forty-Four 19 2 6 B I S B I L A 1 9 2 0 University High met it age-old gridiron foe. St. Paul Academy, in one of the best games played in recent years between the two schools. The score favored the Academy warriors 1 J-0. However the U High lads gave their best exhibition of the season. Although no one player scintillated for Coach Hanson's team, the fellows played as a unit, and offered to carry the struggle into Academy territory throughout the game. Captain Merritt played a magnificent game on the defensive throughout the tangle. The maroon-jerseyed hoys returned to their home lot November L and haltered the St. Louis Park athletes to a 6-6 tie in a game that was replete with thrills. Gieseke and rooman offered some beautiful line work, and Stan Todd displayed great ability in receiving forward passes from Bowes. Two days later. I High triumphed ovei Janesville 20-7. The Campus team outclassed these down-state opponents in all departments of the game. Berry, Bar-wise, and Robertson played exceptionally good football on the line, and the entire backfield functioned perfectly, fucker and Gullander time after time thrilled the crowd with flashy football. The final game of the season resulted in another deadlocked score. The contest ended with the score tied 9-9. The game was a fitting climax to a fairly sucressfnl football season. The contest marked the last chance for the following fellows to wear the maroon jerseys: Captain Merritt. Berry, Bowes, Gullander, Hughes, Robertson, Al Todd, Stafford. Hynes, and Lesher.

I he campus basketeers opened the season December 5. with a victory over Excelsior on the home floor. The score was 10-1 1 in our favor, by virtue of the very good shooting and passing exhibited by Stan Todd and Bud Merritt. I High eked out a one-point victory over Hopkins- the score was 12-11. Ilillford Bowes was the high scorer in the Hopkins game, and he was very ably supported ii defensive play by Captain Don B. Mathieson and A1 Todd. Wallace Merritt went on a scoring rampage, and made twenty-one of the Maroon and Gold team’s points, which totaled thirty-two in the Mound encounter. The close guarding of the I niversity High five held the Mound scoring to one field goal. The score was 32-6. The entire team’s brilliant floor combination plus Merritt-superb shooting made this decisive victory possible. 'fhe following Friday. January 15, I High met its first defeat of the season, at the hands of St. Louis Park. The game was a nip-and-luck affair throughout, the final score being 27-20. Bud Merritt again led the Ii High scoring while Captain Clair Chamberlain scintillated for our suburban rivals. Wayzata, sole survivor of the region and district tournaments, trimmed Coach Hanson’s men by a score of 12 9. I High was handicapped by the size of the floor and the absence of A1 Todd. •� Forty-Seven 1 1 2 6 B I S B I L A 1 1 2 G The Excelsior quintet avenged its earlier setback by defeating L 11 i«rh 18-17 on the Excelsior course. The contest was one of the most bitterly fought floor battles that the Maroon and Gold warriors participated in during the entire season, with C: High offering a beautiful brand of teamwork against the uncanny basket-finding ability of Coach Danberg’s team. In the biggest upset of the season, Mound took U High into camp by a score of 16-7. The aggressive Mound athletes took I High by surprise, and broke up our team's attack. The campus lads were unable to find the basket from the foul line, and free throws were the deciding issue of the game. St. Louis Park was held to a 11-12 victory by the fighting University team. The Park team deserved to win by a larger score, for they played a more alert floor game in this battle. 1 High broke its losing streak when it romped off with a 15-11 triumph over Hopkins on the home floor. In this game the Maroon and Gold lineup was altered, and the more or less untried substitutes fought hard for a well-deserved win. In the final home game Jordan was on the losing end of a 14-7 count. Captain Todd led his team in scoring, besides performing his guard duties in a most capable manner. The U High tournament hopes were blasted in the first round, when Chaska took the measure of the scrappy U High floor men by the very narrow margin of 13-12. The game was probably the most thrilling exhibition that the U High team followers were fortunate enough to sire during the entire basketball season. Bowes instilled hope into the hearts of the U High rooters, by his flashy floor work, and Hud Merritt earned a place on the tournament officials’ mythical team, by his great all-around playing, which was such a major factor in the U High attack throughout the season. The entire team gave a wonderful display of the superb fighting spirit that the past LI High athletic aggregations have been noted for. Forty-Eight I 9 2 i B I S B I L A 1 9 2 (� BASEBALL 192.5 THE 1925 baseball team, under the peerless leadership of its diminutive catcher, Al Todd, enjoyed one of the most successful seasons ever played through by a I High nine, having a record of six victories and one defeat. In the ice-breaker, Coach Hanson's men journeyed down to Randolph and won by the score of 9-4. The game was marred by loose fielding and weak hitting on both sides. In the next game, the home hoys triumphed over their ancient rivals, St. Raul Academy, by three runs, the score being 8-5. I bis game showed great improvement in the team. The lads from the campus, minus their sterling first baseman, “Skin McConnell, traveled out to Excelsior and returned on the long end of a 4-2 score. The game was marked by good pitching and accurate fielding on both sides. In one of the best played contests of the season U High defeated Cretin by two runs, the game ending 5-3. Skin McConnell celebrated his return to the ranks with two home runs. Blomquist pitched good ball and Merritt distinguished himself at third. After a week’s rest, the campus prep school boys took the measure of Anoka at the foreign field by the score of 5-3. The weathei was rather cold, which probably accounted for the loose pitching on both sides. The game was slow and uninteresting, due to poor fielding and weak hitting. Forty-Sine 19 2 6 B I S B I L A 19 2 6 Minneapolis Central, the next opponent, was defeated on the I High field by the score of 8-6. The game was close and exciting, but both teams appeared a bit stale, and did not play with the early season zest and snap. The last game of the season was the first U High defeat after six straight wins over strong teams. The maroon and gold team fared forth to Shattuck for the game at the commencement exercises of the Faribault school and tasted defeat at the hands of the larger and more experienced team by a score of 7 2. The game, although a defeat, was one of the best played contests of the year, and a fitting close to a hard season. McConnell and Blomquist led in the stick work, Blomquisl also led in stolen bases. Merritt, McConnell, Blomquist and Captain Todd were the individual luminaries of the season. John Hynes will lead the 26 team.

The prepsters lost their first marine clash with the Shattuck School surf men in the Faribault foam January 16, by the score of -10-20. Don Bayers, the swimming force’s greatest performer, offirially tied the state record of Sam Hill in the 100-yard breast stroke event in the sensational time of 1.183, January 29. In the Rochester meet both relay teams were victorious, and Barlow. ing. Bayers, Grates, and Captain Woolery all decided their issues to line point additions in the judges columns. The campus aces invaded collegiate ranks, and emerged from the chlorine with a 50-19 triumph over the Hamline Pipers. The junior collegians took eveiy first on the card with little trouble although the boys appeared a bit water-warped when it came to slashing records. The team trained hard for the state meet in the Armory pool with good results. Bayers and Barlow were forced to be content with second places in their events. Captain Woolery took fourth place in diving, and the relay team finished in fourth place. Minneapolis Central was conquered 38-36 in a well-attended water classic when the campus athletes fell heir to six firsts, including the deciding event, the 300-yard relay. The season's climax was reached with a 10-21 w in over Blake School. The Blake lads, w ith the exception of Guy Thomas, premier dashman, were both outclassed and outlashed by Captain Woolery and his team mates. Fifty-One 1 9 2 6 B I S B I L A 1 9 2 6 Captain Hon Woolery lias led the underwater ariists for two years. Last season Hon was state champion in the fancy diving and this year he experienced some difficulty in rounding into form and as a result finished fourth in the quest lor the statewide premier laurels. Don Bayers was the sensational find of the season. His development as a hreast stroke star has proved phenomenal. Don first entered the splash when a Sophomore. and until late in his Junior year was a second-rate performer. In the final meet last year he gave hope of a promising future. Nols Thorpe, America’s foremost swimming authority, who has followed Bayers' progress, predicted on the eve of going to press that Don stood an exceptionally good chance of breaking most of John Farcy's records. It seemed an outrage to the scribe that Bayers and Barlow were not sent to the meet on the range. Wing turned in a superb record on his backstroke work. Bud is another swimmer whose success has been followed by a rather bail start, he being kept out of the water last year by physician’s orders. Finkelstein aided Wing in the reverse stroke services and helped pile up the team with points throughouts the surf season. Barlow will probably he the best dash man in the Northwest high school tanks next year. Steve has performed admirably throughout the year and still has two years of future high school competition. Grates, a very promising 20-yard youth. Gieseke. flashy free style artist and relay man, and Beadie, a good hickory man. are all slated to return next season and with Steve Barlow w ill form the nucleus for the '27 team. • • 1 Fifty-Two I 9 2 � B I S B I L A 19 2 0 192.5 TRACK THE 1925 L High track team came through the cinder season with the very creditable record of two victories and no defeats. Although this would not indicate that the team faced frequent competition, both victories were earned at the expense of considerable training under the athlete-building methods of Coach E. J. Dahl. Perhaps the entire personnel of the squad were not sensational performers on the cinder path, but each man on the squad was always at the height of physical ability, due to the rigorous and thorough tactics of the popular mentor. Coach Dahl was a firm friend of tin track candidates, and as a result of this, did not endeavor to present a difficult program for the men to carry out that would necessitate a meet each week. Just how well his policy worked out in I High athletic rivalry will he shown by the performance of the 25 team. The first meet of the regular season was of a triangular nature with I High. Wayzata, and Excelsior competing in the Memorial Stadium. The meet was held in conjunction with a Dig Ten meet. I High won out with 1411 j points, Wayzata took second place with 37x i points and Kxcel-ior polled 35 points. Some new I Diversity High School records were established in this meet and George Smith treated the fans to a rare exhibition of dash work, taking firsts in both the century and the furlough distances. In addition. Smith took a first in the broad jump and did the anchor act well enough to furnish a wide victory for the one-half mile relay team. The half-mile event was won by Captain Gordon Bas-sett in a very spectacular finish. Ev. Drake loped over the high sticks to take first place, and Chuck Burbach ended the program with firsts in the discus and the javelin. The team came through the Bethel tilt with a 36-35 victory. In this meet Bax. Smith trod the turf to the extent of 1(K) yards in ten seconds. Needless to say, he took three firsts. Ev. Drake gave us first in the high jump and the “U” men were on the edge of defeat when the speedy half-mile relay team won and clinched the victory for U High. Coach Dahl entered the men in the state meet and the team had hard luck all afternoon. Ted Rasmussen placed fifth in tin- () yard run to give the U High followers their only consolation of the day. Letters were awarded to Captain Gordon Bassett, George Smith, Everette Drake, and Theodore Rasmussen. Prospects for a successful sea-on in 1926 look bright w ith Werner Gullander slated to lead his men very brilliantly over the cinder paths.

Until this year, points were awarded on ability alone; but radical changes have been made in the “point system so that points are now awarded on both ability and interest; and second teams have been introduced. Points are now awarded as follows: , 1. Championship for Major Sports (Soccer, Basketball. Baseball, Swimming) A. First team......................................100 points B. Second team..................................... 75 points 2. Class Points a. Highest per cent A’s in posture.................100 points B.

Some of the rest of us will have to get busy and work! THE SWIMMING MEET OF 1925 There is, at least, one sport which the class of 1926 is adept at, and that is swimming, and last year’s swimming meet proved it to any doubtful persons who happened to be present The prominent stars of the meet were: Harriet Zelner, who displayed her skill in swimming for form, and in diving for objects; and Jeannette Wallace, who took the honors in diving. The relay was the cause of much eagerness and breathless expectation; hut the Juniors—the present Seniors—came in first, closely followed hv the other three PI .'KSPs BASEBALL OF 1925 The fir t few days of spring, the girls begin coming out for baseball, and they continue to come out until the end of the season. Last year, interest was at its height; and the class of 1926 tied with the class of 1925 for the championship. Cries of “Come on, Jo! or “Hit a homer, Mary! were heard, and screams of “Buck up. Seniors, you’re getting there! were enthusiastically yelled by the cheerers of the teams, so that excitement was intense on the sidelines, as well as on the part of the players. Fifty Fire i 9 2 ; B I S B I L A 1 9 2 6 SOCCER THIS year, unusual interest was created among the girls when the Soccer season began, which lasted until the completion of the games at end of the fall quarter. Sophisticated Seniors, haughty Juniors, snickering Sophomores, and pusillanimous Freshmen, with awful shrieks and much pushing, scrambling, and gasping, all tried to play the game of “feminine football.' Such ejaculations as “Straight for the goal. Middie, or “Right down the Field, Harriet, were heard by many interested onlookers. I nder tin- expert coaching of Miss Bockstruck, our game gradually became less a jumble, and more one of technique and skill. This year, instead of substitutes, a new system of “second teams has been tried out. giv ing a member of a second team 10 points towards the “t.

Margaret Canfield came off with flying colors in the first tournament, and was then runner up in the fall tournament. However. Hileen Slattery won the finals from Margaret with a score of 6-3, 6-2. While tennis is not a major sport, nor even a minor sport as yet, we hope sometime to give it a prominent place in our list of sports.

The Seniors surprised everyone by winning from tin- Sophomores and from the Juniors, making it a tic between the Seniors and the Freshmen for the championship.

I p until this year, the demonstration has always been held in the evening; but this year, it will be held in the afternoon, and will be in the nature of an informal meet. The meet will demonstrate floor work, marching, and apparatus work. The work will consist of some mimetic, some imitation of sports, some Danish and some Swedish exercises. The classes seem to be about up to each other in their work, so it is till a puzzle who will come out ahead in the Gym Demonstration, but we all have our hopes.

She has certainly inspired the girls to enthusiasm in soccer and basketball with her keen interest and patient drilling. We wish to express our sincere regard and appreciation for the efforts of Miss Bockstruck. MISS LANE W A TTENTION! Right dress! Left face! Forward march!” Such are the or-■L ders that one would hear if one were to witness either the Junior or Freshman gym class. “Halt! One! Two! The girls stop, waiting to see what Miss Lane is going to inflict on them next. “Now we'll play a game! ' “Hurray!” Miss Iaiiic is a Wellesley graduate, and came here directly from there. She has under her the calisthenic work of the Freshmen ami Juniors, and all the classes in swimming. As swimming coach, she bids fair to turn out several excellent teams. At least, her enthusiastic efforts and steady improvement of the girls forebode as much. A hearty cheer for Miss Lane!

By Charleston Guiles THE vodvil presented by the Senior Class of the University High School, which had its initial showing last light, looks like a great success. As it was directed by the Finkelstein brothers, Harold, Daniel, and Leonard. Miss Ruth O'Brien, who has had much experience in directing amateur theatricals, and Professor Raines, dramatic coach at the University, it had a good send-off. � • Bud and Finky do especially well for amateurs. They have a beautiful line of hokum, and, under their excellent care, “That Certain Party develops from a ragtime song into high opera. Their one fault seems to he that they act a little too sophisticated. Of course, the best act is the last. It is called “The Mulligan Brothers’ Tour of the World. and shows the dances the Mulligan brothers, portrayed hv Alden Stafford and Harold Eherhardt, saw in different countries which they visited. The Mulligans display a good line, and go over big. The dances introduced are: The standardized version of the Dutch dance, with very colorful settings; the Scotch Highland Fling, minus the bagpipes, which lack seemed to he rather a serious handicap; an Irish washerwoman, impersonated by Ronald Woolery, whose jig would put to shame any boda fide floor-scrubber; a Spanish tango, rather slow, but expertly done; a very clever burlesque on the Russian ballet, which comes as a surprise to the audience; and the finale, in which the entire cast takes part, and brings the Vodvil up to date with a version of the Charleston. “Midway at the State Fair” is the name of an original takeoff on the typical sideshow at the state fair, in which the gullible public is “gypped. Wallace Hughes takes the part of the barker, and does his “stuff lather neatly, although we would suggest that he is a bit too raucous. The ticket-takers, Bob Davis and Bud ing, add a realistic touch. SixtyThrrt 1 9 2 B I S B I L A 1 9 2 0 Eight beautiful school girls take part in a song-and-dance act called the “Girls’ Locker Room.’’ We wonder if it is a realistic interpretation of all that goes on in this section of a coeducational institution. • • • Three acts containing plots are fairly well done. The play, “Jazz and Minuet,” is well-acted, hut it seems too emotional a type for a high school performance. “The Nut Clinic” is a hit of foolishness placed to lighten the program a hit. An original idea is “It Rays to Advertise.” This is a short skit written by one of the actors, and the dialogue is entirely in advertising slogans. Although the action is rather slow, a humorous situation is developed by the proposal for marriage in slogans. • • • The other acts are short and to the point. “Good Evening,” the first act by the Tiller Girls, gives the hill a lively start; the “Sailors’ Hornpipe,” by Marion Miller and Mary Mabel Todd, is a cleverly constructed act; Edith Zimmer does an excellent hit of monologue, and Romola Griswold does some good clogging. Of course, there is a classical act, and it does not weigh down the hill too much, as it is short and well done. We might add to Mr. Guile's writeup that since the presentation of this mighty production, several acts of it have been in much demand around the Twin Cities. The Mulligan Brothers appeared in the University Cosmopolitan Club performance. uThe Revue of the Nations.” and also at the St. Paul Cosmopolitan Club. The “Girls' Locker Room act entertained the wounded veterans at the Asbury Hospital. THE U HIGH OPERETTAS THE BOS’N’S BRIDE—1925 THE 1925 Operetta given by die chorus classes of U High at the John Marshall Auditorium was “Bos’n’s Bride,” by W. Rhys-Herbert. Miss Hollenbeck did wonders with the performance, especially since this was the first year that U High had given an operetta. Bud Wing as the Bos’n and Evangeline Nary as the Bos’n’s Bride, or Kitty Adair, played the leads. Harriet Zelner as Dorothy, Kitty Adair's chum, and Leonard Finkelstein as Tom Tupper, played their parts successfully. Another couple that did very well was Ingeborg Husby as Barbara and Alden Stafford as Sam Slippy. The comic parts were taken by Laura Lacey as Mrs. Brown, the chaperone, and Jack Barwise as Tim Shannon. Both the choruses, the sailors and the high school girls did splendid work. • TRIAL BY JURY—1926 Gilbert and Sullivan’s well-known light opera, “Trial by Jury was presented by the Glee Clubs of U High School at the Minnesota Music Auditorium February 27, 1926. Miss Beatrice Holmes coached and directed this production with immense success. All the participants, from those in the choruses to the leads, played their parts well. Prue Grobe as the plaintiff was particularly appealing. Bud Wing as the defendant, was screamingly funny. Ev. Lesher as the judge, and bis brother Bill as the court clerk were both entertaining, while AI Rice as the plaintiff’s counsel and Ron Woolery as foreman of the jury had no mean parts to play. The Glee Clubs were not the only ones who performed this time, for the I High orchestra played with remarkable skill several difficult pieces, both classical and modern, before the presentation of the operetta.

This is what the J. S. means to anyone who has ever gone to Li High. This year on April the twenty-fourth, another J. S. passed into history. The ballroom of the Men's 1 nion was arrayed in all the brilliancy and color of futurist decorations. Pictures of weird, lovely ladies and gentlemen, cats, dogs, and so on. stared ominously down from the walls, and the Lon Chaney-ishly awful countenances of a couple of maniacs, or certainly abnormal parties, glared at us fiendishly from their sculptured masks. But when the boys and girls came in, and the gorgeous evening dresses Hashed about among dark suits, the scene was so picturesque, so pleasing, that surely one could never forget it. At nine o'clock, the orchestra, partly screened behind palms, began to play, and the grand march formed. First in line was Wallace Hughes, president of the Senior class, and irginia Bollinger. Almon Tucker, Junior class president, was second, with his guest, Helen Wold. The other officers of the two classes followed. During the dances the ballroom was darkened, while a spotlight with changing colors played upon the dancers, and Dave Dahl’s eight-piece orchestra rendered, to quote a participant, “heavenly jazz.” For the favor dance each girl received a bouquet of sweet peas and each boy a large ring, the stones of which had a doubtful origin. The chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Orcn, Mr. and Mrs. Tucker, Mrs. Hughes, and Mrs. Merritt. Quite a number of the faculty appeared, and were warmly welcomed. Many “alums’ were also present, whom we were very much overjoyed to have again in our midst. No higher praise can be given to any party than to say that it was enjoyed by everyone present, and it is very easy to say this concerning this year's J. S. It seemed that even those blighted souls on the walls must have secretly liked it. The committees who worked so hard to make the dance a success may feel amply rewarded in the knowledge of their accomplishment— A Glorious J. S.!!!!!

But success in school can only be achieved thru the mastery of the work undertaken. To master a subject requires courage, persistence, mental labor, which is the hardest kind of work, and the same kind of fighting spirit which we honor in any field of endeavor where difficulties are conquered. Those students who are chosen as members of the Honor Society of the I ni-versity High School are those who have the proud distinction of ranking first in the four years of their school work. They are the ones who have most completely mastered their work, who have possessed the fighting spirit which conquers difficulties, and who have won for themselves the highest honor the University High School can offer. We are proud of them and of their fine achievements. We offer to them our heartiest congratulations.
