The class of ’27 is formally and with all due process of law accused of being the best class that ever graduated from University High School. The prosecution has summoned four witnesses. The first. The Year 1924. will please come forward, take the oath, and tell all he knows about the aforesaid class.” Old 1924. grav-haired and tottering, began: I remember that as Freshmen the members of this class were successful in almost everything they attempted. After a 'Get-Acquainted Party' they elected these all-wise officers: President, Jack Bar-wise; Vice President, Stanley Todd; Secretary, Bruce De Long; Treasurer, Richard O’Brien. Lurcc Cheyncy and Khoda Pierce were representatives in Self-Government.” The Mock Turtle interrupted, “What did they do in publications and in dramatics?” Tears came to the eyes of the venerable 1924. although there was a smile on his lips “How well 1 remember their first attempts which prophesied their future fame. Talent was shown in the class almost immediately. In the very first Breeze there was a poem by Ruth Thorshov, and the class reporter, Madrienne Strickler, showed promise of being, some day, a famous journalist. The members of the class published four different successful papers: 'I'he Freshman B’hiff, and The Spasmodical, consolidated from The Freshet and Drippings From a Freshman Pen. At the Christmas party, two plays were given by the Freshmen. Another interruption was made. “Did they do anything at all in athletics?” Did they! I shall never forget when their basket ball team defeated the Sophomores and Seniors. Jack Barwise and MacGregor Beadie were on the Swimming Team.” The old man sank down in his chair, unable to say more. The stand was now taken by the second witness. The Year 1925, a middle-aged gentleman. What do you know about this class?” asked the Mock Turtle. I saw them in their Sophomore year, and what a lively class they were! Their officers were: President, Everett Lcshcr; Vice President, Madrienne Strickler; Secretary, Margaret Canfield; Treasurer, Stan Todd. There were three members on the Breeze staff and their dramatic ability was again shown when the class put on ‘Carmen,’ an original musical skit. Four boys were on the football squad, two made the track team, two were on the swimming team, and one on the basketball team, which show that they were up-and-coming athletes. A Freshman-Sophomore party was given at the beginning of the year on the ‘Sea shore’ where games were played and butter-scotch apples were served. This was their only party, for they were too busy with other things.” 1925 was questioned by the lawyer. Did any of the class have a high scholastic average?” A smile was seen on the lips of 1925. It pleased him that he could answer this question so satisfactorily. “Oh, yes! Five of the members were on the Honor Ticenli One i « imm Roll with a B average or above for the entire year. Acme, a girls’ honorary organization, claimed two from the class.” The lawyer stopped him with, “That will he all,” and the third witness was called to the stand. The jurymen looked at one another. Surely, during its first two years the class had been guilty of the accusation. 1926, a dapper youth with a collegiate air. began, “What a fine bunch of Juniors this class made! Not a better group of officers could be found. They were: President, A1 Tucker; Vice President, Everett Drake; Secretary, Ted Ras- mussen; Treasurer, Mar Giesekc. The class originated tin- Junior News a tier and edited it very successfully. At the beginning of the year they had very little money, but at the end there was enough to give a .1. S. that was the real thing! Almost everyone said that the poster decorations were the most unique that had ever been used at a dance of that sort. “Did they do anything in dramatics? asked the lawyer. 1926 beamed. “Yes, several members of the class produced and took part in an amateur movie performance. In assembly they put on an amusing skit to advertise the Senior Vaudeville, and several one-act comedies.” “That will do. The jurymen exchanged wise looks and nods. Rut still there was a chance that during their Senior year this class might have spoiled their record.' 1927, a jolly little boy with freckles and a pug nose, came to the stand. “Gee! he burst out, “This class is keen! They’re winners in athletics. You ought to see'em grab a ball and pile up scores. That feller, Al, was a swell football cap- tain and Ev Drake could sure shoot baskets. And the girls too! I always thought girls athletics would be dumb till 1 seen them Seniors win the Championship at the Gym Exhibit. You’ll have to hand it to the Seniors in them things they called 'Footlight Fancies.’ 1 pretty near bust laughin’ at Bob De Vinnv and liar Giesekc and them Chinamen in the last act. And say, they can dance, too! Oh, hoy! That Mardi Gras was a funny party—all in such queer rigs you couldn’t tell’em apart; and at the J. S., they sure did—” but the lawyer interrupted this eulogy, for the jury had heard all they needed. “Gentlemen of the jury, he began, but before he could proceed they all arose and with one accord shouted “GUILTY! FUTURE As Alice sat in the court room, she gazed so steadily at the King of Hearts that she finally fell into a doze and dreamed that she was hack in old U. High. A smile played over her face as she thought of the good old days and especially of the Senior Class of 1927. “Wake up! said the Gryphon. “They’re going to start. Alice looked again at the jury box where the Dormouse, Bill the Lizard, and all the rest had been, but to her surprise the present occupants of the box were none other than mortals whom she recognized as Seniors she had known at U. High. How greatly changed they were! Behold Alva Swain, now the kitchen or errand boy in the best Hotel in Belgrade; Doris Rockwell. 1917’s own Dorothy Dix; Margaret Payne, hair dresser in “gav Parce; Jack Barwise, salesman for indi- Ticnihj-Ttro K3I w vidual China drinking cups for cows; Emmet Field, straw-chewing farmer; Donna Kurtz, chief soloist for the Deaf and Dumb Asylum; Russ Jurgenson, world-famous futuristic artist. The next one Alice was slightly puzzled over; finally she recognized Don Burch, dog catcher of London; the next. 1 loppy Canfield herself, ardent missionary in the deep wilds of Africa; Ellen Oren, America’s most gracious telephone operator; Henry Clark, husky All-American Fullback; Helen Wold, flipper of flap-jacks at Child's restaurant. But this time Alice was a very, very bewildered little girl. What could it all be about??? The White Rabbit then called fourth the defendant whom Alice recognized as her namesake, Alice Riley. “What has SHE done?” whispered Alice to the White Rabbit. The White Rabbit explained that Miss Riley, an energetic worker for the Protection of Blind Mice, had broken into the National Legislature and created a great disturbance in demanding the right to talk, causing her immediate arrest. “Call the first witness!” bellowed the King. The first witness, trembling with fear, turned out to be Rhoda Fierce, the Dean of the Latin Department at Columbia. Much frightened, she could only mumble, and was hurried off without delay. The next two main witnesses proved to be Winifred Washburn and Adolf Olson, successors to Vilma Banky and Rudolph Valentino, respectively, on the silver screen. The witnesses followed in quick succession: first. Theodora Sutton, famous tight-rope walker of Broadway; Nance Staples, business manager and athletic instructor of the Society for Brokendown Debutantes; Ruth Thorshov, author of the thrilling novel and best-seller of the day, “Only A Dried Rose;” Lyman Swendson, valet to the Russian Ambassador to Sweden; Mary Wildes, Leader of the 100 in New York; Theodore Rasmussen. Judge in the Divorce Court in Rome. By the time their testimony had been completed, Alice's rapt gaze was employed in staring at the audience, most of whom she recognized as those terrible Seniors.” Seated among them, she saw Madge Stricklcr, the quiet and efficient wife of a poor minister; John Shuman, the Burning Poet of the Age; Ruth Schultz, first women Governor of the Philippines; MacGregor Beadie, the instructor in the Boys’ Gym at U. High; Helen Wildes, a patient, plodding seamstress; Caroline Van Koughnet, a stern, unrelenting champion of the rights of the Guinea Hen; Har Gieseke, vermin exterminator; Marjorie Page, head waitress in the Greasy Spoon Restaurant; Roger Haynes, alternately White Wing and fencing master of Pctrograd. Next Alice’s regard drifted over to the Queen's party where, again she saw her old friends: Robert Dc Vinny, the genial Lloyd Hamilton of the Stock Exchange; Luree Chcyncy, America's greatest actress; Margaret Mull, wild-west cow girl in a traveling circus; Arthur Lampland. Professor of Anthropological Paleontology; Florence Lamberton. the premiere danseuse in Hapsburg; Bud Miller, editor of the American Girl; Wendell Johnson, manager of the Canary Islands; Tirrntij-Thrrt' Marjorie Jewell, who lias finally succeeded in vamping the Prince of Wales; Virginia Fehr, a famous, and much-sought-after medium of the Spiritual World; Everett Drake, Sultan of Timhuetoo; Margaret Hallstrom, great New York lawyer; Alice Kelm, an evangelist of nation-wide repute; Katherine Preston, a modern Queen of Sheba; Jo Ulrich, a second Wodehouse; A1 Tucker, an incomparable French barber; Hob Gould, bootblack in the Brazilian Jungle. Alice found herself yawning quite suddenly, and awoke to the realization that the trial was ended and the defendant acquitted. All were gone, and Alice was quite alone, so she rose reluctantly and sauntered out of the door after her friends. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT When Alice finally awoke after her visit to Scniorland and found herself back in her little Garden with its China-plate walks and its pretty yellow and pink daisy beds, much to her surprise, she found a parehment document in her hand with a big, red, wax seal upon it. On opening it, she read wonderinglv that the scroll was a kind of will which the Seniors in Wonderland had bequeathed to Alice's friends back home. It read as follows: Marjorie Page finally decides to give up her | ersun.sivc eyes to Naomi Fredrickson. Donald Hiireli with reluctance bequeaths his tcrpsichorean art to Seward Spencer. Ellen Oren leaves her finest switch with much love to Hetty Gove. Margaret Payne, with soils racking her frame, tenderly gives her auburn hair to I.orna Larson.

Kmmet Field hands over his shnpely avoirdupois to Dan Carroll. Ev Drake bequeaths his snappy tram playing to Lloyd Kempe. Jo Ulrick with much gastly gargling, dishes over her dogmatic coat to Mary Lou Wold. John Shuman, swallowing a cough drop with great dignity, decides to entrust Croft Gear with his mirthless humor.

Marlowe Gieseke won’t leave Albertine hut Is going to take her right along with him. Art I.ampland, with extreme grief, yields his imitation leather briefcase to Albert Killeen in case hr might use it. Donna Constance Kurtz, with pathetic heart-rending, leaves her snappy expressions to Miss Penrose. Ruth Thorshov weeps a hitter tear hut decides it is best for her soul to give her maidenly blush to Louis Nash. Ticrnlv-Four lr«L DM MUM «gzi Katy Preston Ims a few “tokens” to leave, too, but nslc her If they nr. the kind you give to the conductor.

Carr Neel Miller’s elemental tango is respectfully tendered to Priscilla Howe.

Ted Rasmussen extends the hearty hand of fellowship when he bequeaths his marks to Steve Barlow. Ted Sutton, with a knowing look, hands over her delightful cynicism to Billy Herrold. Mac Beadie turns over Ills salesmanship ability and his Hoosier scowl to Allyn Miller. Jack Barwise leaves his Irish pep to Tom Ford, incidentally leaving Tommie supine because of his very hearty slap on the hack.

Suxdkbx ------ Adviser THE Rabbit, having tired of playing croquet with her majesty, the Queen, decided to leave Wonderland, where the weather was rather warm, and to ascend to the Well and pay a visit to U High, where there was a delightful “Campus Breeze.” Many things, such as cats, dogs, and practice teachers had often wanderer into U High, hut this was the first occasion on which a rabbit, dressed in a blue coat and carrying white gloves, had ever honored that particular institution of learning with his presence. Arriving at the school on September fourteenth, the Rahhit found that the Junior girls were in the act of adopting the Freshmen girls as their little sisters” in Room 204 at a tea. And so it came to pass that the Juniors adopted the Rahhit for their mascot. Many of the girls wished to call the Rahhit “Pete,” short for Peter, hut as they feared their illustrious football coach might object, they called him Rahby.” One week after Rabby arrived he had the honor of helping Malcolm Manuel, class president, and Doug Erskine, class treasurer, count the profits from a hot-dog sale, given that noon by the juniors. He found that what they lacked in dollars was made up in class spirit. In November, a few of the Juniors on the Breeze” staff took Rahby down to the Press Convention at Rochester. He swelled with pride when one of his big sisters. Andrea Kiefer, was elected treasurer of the Association for the following year. Rahby took great delight in watching his big sisters plav soccer, and was overjoyed when tlu-ir team won the championship and three of their number, Andrea Kiefer. Dorothybelle McCrce, and Ruth McMahon, made the All-Star team. When Rahby wasn't watching the soccer games, he would run over and watch his big brothers practice football. Carlson. R. Tucker, Coffee, Knoefel, Vrooman, Spencer, and I). Erskine stood out above the others as Junior stars. As time sped on, basketball took the place of football. Rahby would sit for hours every afternoon watching the hoys practice. Finally, the first squad, consisting of ten men, was chosen. Five of them were Rabby’s big brothers namely, Malcolm Manuel, Doug Erskine, Spud Tucker, Fred Rainer, and Cliff Carlson. An Outdoor Club was formed by all I’ High girls who were able to secure one hundred points for outside activities.

The Junior girls secured the honor of winning the race for membership. When Rabby asked if “outside reading” would count for outdoor exercise, someone playfully threw a handful of snow at his little pink nose. At the Footlight Fancies, Rabby sat in the first row and cheered for the live Juniors who were helping the Seniors stage the production. On the 2(Rh of February, Rabby. in all his glory, attended the Mardi Gras given by the Juniors and Seniors at Shcvlin Hall. Flic decorating committee had worked wonders in making the ball room gay with confetti and balloons. Sitting on the piano. Rabbv chuckled as he saw some of the Junior girls chasing after “Mr. Smith,” who in reality was Mrs. Smith, while many of the boys flirted with Miss Gold, who ran coyly hither and thither, tossing her long yellow curls. He thought that George Barton’s orchestra was superb, and agreed with both the Juniors and Seniors that the party was a great success. But when spring came and Rabby sat on the river bank nibbling his lunch each noon, a longing filled him to sit under other trees and sip tea in company with a certain Mad Hatter and March Hare! So. one day while chasing a chipmunk, lie slipped unnoticed into the well by which he had come up to visit I’ High. The first sounds he heard as he descended, were whisperings of a Junior-Senior Ball. Disappearing into the darkness, he wondered whether the latter was in any way related to football or basketball. T treaty Sint (ikorge Milui - - - IIkixn Metcale -Margaret Krkrt -Don Perry -Miss Margaret McGuire - President I'ice-Preside n I Secretary Treasurer Adviser PARDON, s’il vous plait. Danko schon,” cries a busy and all-wist Sophomore girl to a Freshman who is occupying too much space in the locker-room. Wasn't the swimming meet wonderful yesterday? she asks, as she catches sight of her chum. The timid Freside, to retaliate for the recent reflection on her comprehension of foreign languages, boasts, “One of the Freshman boys is on the swimming team, —the real one, too.” Oh denh me, one! ha. ha, ha!” scoffs the Sophomore, we have Mark Van de Water, Floyd De Vinny, Daniel Grates, and Howard Oas, and you should see them swim. I.ots of tile Sophs are on the substitute basketball team and the sub football team too. That’s why the. seniors can graduate so cheerfully; they know how well their vacant places will be filled. This poor child is barely squelched before another heated discussion becomes evident. This time a Junior has committed the folly of trying to out-argue a Soph. Well, we took the basketball championship last year when we were Freshmen, and I don’t see why we can’t take it again. We’re drilling hard enough! Twice as many Sophomores are out for pl� v hour as Juniors. Miss Bockstruck has to have two groups of Sophs, there are so many! Humph.” replies the Junior, just wait and see who gets the championship. Just wait. We aren’t so slow as you think we are. With this dark prophecy, she walks disdainfully out of sight, then rushes wildly to warn her friends of those conceited Sophs. Miss McGuire says we’re going to have an evening party pretty soon, yells a Sophomore hoy. Well, we ought to, after that crazy sleigh-ride-dance the other day,” returns his comrade. A shy Freshman hears, and turning to that fount of all knowledge, a Sophomore, asks, For goodness’ sake, what is a sleigh-ride-dance and who is Miss McGuire. Well, Miss McGuire is our Math teacher and our class adviser, and she is so Thirty Back Row Shair, Ilnur . Geer, Cummings, Lamberton, Mem. McGaughy, Hr irk. Soil icon.

The party really was lots of fun,” she says. Too bad we couldn’t have tlie sleigh-ride, but brrrr! wasn’t it cold? And wasn't it funny how some of the girls were in knickers and some in silk dresses, and some of the boys wore heavy shoes and golf stockings for a dance? Wasn't Miss Smith fun that night, and what lovely chaperons tin Stokeses were! I hope we can have them again sometime.” Ya,” replied her companion, jerking her arm. but, look, the Campus lirecze it out!” There ensues a mad scamble and then an excited hubbub, See here, there are ten Sophomores on the Honor Roll, and several have stories or articles in this number. We’ve had something in to bring real credit to our class every time this year.” What’s the matter with the Sophs?” asks her friend, and voices the opinion of us all— 1 say they’re all right!” Thirty-One John COhx KVKacx Makoakkt Okhi.kk -l OI W II.I.IA M.H Fkrd Uo«e.VnAIIL -Miss Doha Smith Pret ideal Vice-Preeident Secretary Tre nearer .tdvierr HERE we arc! The first, last, and only class of nineteen hundred and thirty to attend University High School! We started in hale and hearty, but very fresh and ignorant; however, we hope to come out at the end of school still hale and hearty, hut very knowing and much wiser. We think that the upper classmen will help us on the “knowing” part and the teachers on putting a little wisdom into our verdant thinkers. Before the signal “go” was fired, when we were to start on the first lap of our four-mile, or four-year high school course, the Juniors took us under their protection. told us of the whole contest and its many danger points and obstacles, and informed us ns to the way we should go. We were very grateful to them and we've profited by their advice. But at last the starting shot was fired and we were off on the first lap of our first mile. Our initial act was to take stock of ourselves. We found that two thirds of the contestants were from St. Paul, and the rest from Minneapolis, and that fifteen schools were represented. In November, thinking it was time for a little recreation, we held a party. We not only played games, and had fine refreshments, but afterwards we danced, and for a wonder the freshmen were not a bit bashful. Just before Christmas, by a last minute drive, we won the contest for getting money for a poor family. Chalk one up for the greenies! And finals! Our first hurdles! What cramming and anxiety! After three days of hard labor, we leaped the last hurdle, handed in our last test paper and turned out full force for the Christmas “sunlight. We started on the second lap. much refreshed after vacation, and on February fourth the half mile mark was reached. More hurdles were leaped in March, with greater assurance this time, and we started down the last lap with determination to make, a glorious finish. Both boys and girls have gone out for sports. As far as is known, we haven't won any class championships, but we’ve done our best, though we're no infant prodigies. Thirty-Two Back Row tfiliblin, Broum, Mr inert, Trimmer.

I .oris Ton li t - TWO big things have been accomplished by the Campus Breexc this year which arc worthy of particular notice. One is its rc-cstahlishnicnt as a magazine, and the other is its success at the High School Press Convention held at Rochester in November. The change from newspaper to magazine m:is made at the opening of school in accordance with the vote of the student body the spring before, which stood two to one in favor of a magazine. At the Press Convention the (’ampinr Breeze newspaper of last year was awarded second place in its class. The sport page was also awarded second place, while the front page, editorial page and separate editorials were all awarded first place, a most worthy achievement for a publication in its first year of endeavor as a newspaper. Five delegates with four extras were sent to the Press Convention and the enthusiasm of that occasion has helped our publication all during the year. Bv the new system of competitive membership many students with literary aspirations have been enabled to find a place on the staff. Contributions have been encouraged from the under-classmen, and perhaps that is one reason for an increasing interest on the part of that section of the student body. The staff has tried to make the Breeze a magazine for the students, and bi the students. As it has succeeded in gaining the approval and sanction of the student body and has lived up to its policy of service to the school, it feels it has passed a successful year.

President Dorotii r Bei.i.k McCiek ------ Vict-Prestdent Mary I.I'kiirino - -- - - -- - Secretary THE Girls’ “U” Club has been quite busy this year. It lias established two new customs, at least it is Imped and expected that they will lie come customs. The first of these is the picking of an All-Star team for every sport. This is a very hard thing to do because there are so many stars in each game. The second is a banquet sponsored by the club the night after the last game in each tournament has been played off. At this time the All-Star team is announced. All members of the class teams are invited to this banquet, which is a very exciting affair. Every class tries to outdo all the other three in making noise and singing the cleverest songs, and as they all do it at the same time, the effect can he imagined. Of course the “U Club has done other things besides establishing these banquets. It has made a few minor changes in the constitution and has added several new members to its large group. The larger this Club is the better, because it has a great deal of work on its shoulders in managing tournaments anti all sport programs as well as helping with the Demonstration and Field Meet.

Tucker, Hamer THE BOYS’ “U” CLUB THE Boys' “U Club is a semi-honorary society made up of the athletes of University High. The membership is restricted to those who have won their letter in one of the five sports: football, baseball, basketball, track, or swimming. It was formed several years ago for the purpose of creating more interest in athletics, upholding tile U High standard of fairness and sportsmanship, and assisting in certain student problems. New members are admitted in March at the annual athletic banquet when the football, basketball, and swimming letters are awarded, and in June when the baseball and track letters are given out. The insignia of the club is a gold block L with a maroon center. The privilege of wearing this pin is probably the most coveted honor among the boys of the school as it shows that the wearer has won the right to represent his school on the athletic field and has done his part to maintain her reputation for producing hard-fighting and clean-playing teams.

The Seniors, therefor, feel proud that they were among the originators of this indispensable organization, which has each year taken upon itself more duties. Luree Cheyney has made a most capable president, and. with the help of her efficient chairmen of committees, she has done a great deal this year. They arc as follows: Finance committee, Alice Kelm; Social committee, Margaret Williams; Club Room committee. Virginia Fehr; House committee, Winifred Washburn. These committees have sponsored candy sales and Mothers’ Teas, through which they have collected a little money and are gradually refurnishing the Club Room. 'I'lie Big Sisters organization, started last year by the present Seniors and carried on this year by the Juniors, has developed closer fellowship, not only between the Juniors and Freshmen, but among all the girls. The girls of each class have taken some duty this year: the Freshmen, the care of the lunch rooms; the Sophomores, the care of the Club Room; the Juniors, the Big Sister movement; the Seniors, general supervision. As we Seniors graduate we leave our wishes for success throughout the coming years to the Girls’ Club and to its leaders and its adviser, Mrs. Patterson. Forty OFFICERS Jtrick. Ford. Clark.

The plan was approved and the organization formed in January. The following committee drew up the constitution: Arthur Lampland, chairman, Theodore Rasmussen, Alva Swain, Robert Tucker, and Glen Fuller. The boys were given Room 15 for their club room, and Jack Barwisc was appointed chairman of a committee to get furnishings. The boys expect to have eventually a comfortable and good-looking club room. This is the first time that the boys of the school have ever been organized as a whole group. The club aims to develop fellowship among the boys and to cooperate with the faculty in solving the problems which concern the boys of the school. While it is only young and untried now, within a few years it should be one of the leading and best organized clubs in the school.

It has sponsored several activities, the first of which was homecoming. The Senate is extremely proud of the fact that there was such a fine “turn-out” of students and alumni and that they all seemed to enjoy the gala event. The Senate hopes that these homecomings will become a tradition and grow bigger and better each year. The Library Board, also sponsored by the Senate, is an innovation in the school; and although the study-hall situation has not been completely worked out as yet, investigation is progressing favorably. The Senate has staged a few very successful “Bean-feeds,” the proceeds of which aided in the publication of the handbook. As was predicted last year, the Bookstore and Lost-and-Found Department have proved indispensable to the school. This year Miss McGuire again merits a hearty vote of thanks for her ever-readv suggestions and capable leadership.

Realising tbe importance of the dub, about 99 percent of them rushed to 205 last fall and paid their annual dues. During the meeting, much enthusiasm was prevalent, hut the inner thoughts of the members might be analyzed as follows: in the hearts of most of the girls was cherished the desire to act the part of the vamp”—one of those modern creations said to resemble a modern bungalow, all painted up, shingled on the roof, and nothing in the attic. As most of the hoys have good lines (or think they have) they wished to string the general public along by being comedians. If their wishes were realized, we would find a freakish-appearing person registering a half-witted expression, dashing madly on the stage on a kiddyear and saying, I.aides and gentlemen, latest discoveries in the field of barnyard research show that ground hogs are sausages. I f the audience should fail to clap, more idiotic expression would follow. Of course others hoped to be heroes, the college sheik ‘‘know-it-all’ type, villains or what not. As the year advanced, some of the ambitions were realized; others were modified and developed into a more serious expression of dramatic art. The upper classmen showed their versatility in the Footlight Fancies and various assemblies. The truth is, they don’t yet know whether the profuse noise following the acts was applause or people killing mosquitoes. Forty Three Hack Row Shau', DeVinny, Rierk, Lamhertun, Hrmrn Minm t.

Pkpinsky ------ Director SHORTLY after L High came into existence there was created to till a speeial need a U High Orchestra to play at assemblies, parties, commencements, and numberless other school functions. Four years ago, in order that it might serve the school more efficiently, the orchestra put aside its extra-curricular position and assumed the proportions of an accredited subject for those who wish to know more about music in general and orchestra music in particular. Last year the Orchestra was given a definite class hour, which greatly increased the case with which it could work. A class for beginners in music was created with credit given for individual lessons on any instrument the pupil might choose. A band was organized for those who wished to study that type of music and it has been performing a speeial service by playing at games, leading the pep fests. and fostering a loyal spirit in the school. The work that Mr. Pepin sky has done in organizing and developing our orchestra can hardly be over-estimated. U High takes this opportunity to thank him and show our appreciation for his loyalty, patience, and service. Forty-Four was; Back Row- Monte, Perry.

Be it ever so small there is nothing like a good Glee Club. The University High School Glee Clubs are not as large in numbers as they have been in years before, hut they feel that, even so, a great ileal can Ik accomplished and they have made up in quality what they lacked in quantity. There are sixteen members with more being added from time to time. The Glee Clubs have sponsored a Male Quartette composed of Arnold Mueller, Clifford Mens, Don Perry, and Floyd I)e Vinny. They have appeared several times at U High assemblies, giving some excellent selections, at the Christmas party as well as singing in the Glee Club on that program. Instead of giving an operetta, the work of the Glee Clubs this year has been concentrated on the Baccalaureate and Commencement music where they expect to have a large mixed chorus, the additional members being taken from the chorus classes. That Miss Schwend has done much to improve the musical condition ’ of the school is undoubted, and under her guidance the chorus classes as well as the Glee Clubs are laving a firm foundation and setting a precedent for the classes and students to come.

'ice-President Secretary Treasurer POOR little Acme has been struggling valiantly for existence the past four or five years, and try as it would, membership never exceeded eight. In a word, it was a dismal failure. This year, however, the sun is shining and everything is bright again because Acme has a great future. The entire constitution has been revised, lowering the scholarship from B to C plus, still a mark above average. A girl is no longer required to earn her “U,” but only 120 specified athletic points. Before, the gym instructor automatically became sole adviser; but now, though she is still an honorary adviser along with the dean of girls, the members themselves choose one adviser from the school's academic department who is newly elected every year. While all these things are very necessary, the important feature is the fact that girls are now chosen on a basis of leadership and good character. Bv leadership is meant not only the holding of offices and the like, but also work such as being on committees for which one receives no credit. Of course the meaning of good character is quite obvious, but yet another item remains—the right attitude toward athletics and studies—doing things not because one has to but because one wants to. One may thus see that the purpose of Acme is to organize the all-around girls of the school in a club, which shall be a goal for every freshman and sophomore to strive for. There is a great deal of splendid material in the school, and it is hoped and expected that these girls will, in the future, build Acme up to a still larger and more influential organization.

Some come through battles on athletic fields, some through achievement in society; but it is not every one who can obtain rewards for knowledge. In order that such rewards might he made possible, a chapter of the National Honor Society for Secondary Schools was established in U High in 1922. To become a member of this organization one must have gained distinction in leadership, service, character, and scholarship. In the spring of each year members are chosen from the Junior and Senior classes. In 1926 the Parent-Teachers’ Association of University High voted to present the emblem of the society to the honor students. From the classes of 1926 and 1927 the following have been honored with membership: 19 2 6 Murikl Clark Eilekn Slattery John Hynes James Tyler Edith Zimmer 19 2 7 Henry Clark Theodore Rasmussen Wendell Johnson Ruth Thorshov Arthur Lampland Helen Wildes Forty Seven Back How—Oortner, Rosendaht, Lambert on.

As the former Hi-Y was discontinued, our name was changed from Torch to Hi-Y, hut the old name sticks somehow and the latter title will possibly be in the background for some time to come. Because of the widely scattered residences of the members, it is seldom that the entire group can assemble, but we have a good turn-out at every meeting. Our program usually consists of a Bible discussion in which all take an active part, and one or two games of some sort. We close with sentence prayers and one or two songs. We wish to thank Mr. Turney for his part in making this club a success, for without his interest, we could not have conducted night meetings which wrere heretofore contrary to the policy of U High. The Torch Club offers to any Freshman or Sophomore boy good Christian fellowship and association with the Y. M. C. A. and what it means. The Torch Club has been a firmly established tradition at U High for many years and here arc best wishes for its continuance. Forty Ei'jh t THE CLASS PLAY OF 1927 THE Seniors chose for their annual class play this year, “The Youngest ’ by Phillip Barry. The play was just recently released for amateurs, after running successfully in New York for several years. The play was directed by Miss Enza Zeller, a professional coach, who selected the following cast: Charlotte Martin Winslow Oliver Winslow ......... Mark Winslow ........... Augusta Winslow Martin Alan Martin ............ Martha (Muff) Winslow Richard Winslow ........ Nancy Blake ............ Katie .................. .......Ellen Oren Arthur Lampland ....Roger Hayes .Josephine Ulrich ...Everett Drake .......Alice Kelin Robert I)e Vinny . Madge Stricklcr . . . . Donna Kurtz Richard, the youngest, is a victim of conflicting desires of his family. He wants to write, but his family want him to go into business, manufacturing pins. Nancy Blake, a guest in the household, instills into Richard a spirit of independence which wins him his freedom from the family. Richard’s discovery that he is in love with his emancipator is darkened by the realization that he has been a mere experiment. But of course disaster is avoided and all ends well. As this annual goes to press the play is well under way and it is predicted that it will be a great success, under the capable direction of Miss Zeller.

Banrisr THE TURTLE DOVE THE Footlight Fancies,” the 1927 vaudeville, went oiT with the briliance of a skyrocket at the Music Auditorium on January 28. A packed house waited expectantly for laughs and thrills, since the minor had spread that Glen Fuller would appear in a familiar role of love-making. Three one-act plays were given, interspersed with vaudeville acts. The first play was Playgoers, in which Ellen Oren as an English mistress brought disaster upon herself by suggesting a treat for her large corps of servants. Margaret Canfield’s wailing and Ruth MeClintock’s ponderous remarks brought down the house. The second play was The Florist Shop in which Marlowe Gieseke as the Jewish proprietor and Khoda Fierce as his gum-chewing clerk were the chief laugh-makers. The third play was The Turtle Dove, a Chinese comedy produced in the native manner with a graciously bowing Chorus and a supposedly invisible property man. Madge Strickier and Glen Fuller were picturesque as the unfortunate Chinese lovers. The first vaudeville act was Queev-IIi, lively songs and superb waltzing by Jack Barwisc and Rhoda Fierce. This was followed bv Bob De Yinny and his fiddle in a little skit entitled Tramp, Tramp, Tramp. Bob turned on the laughter by lighting the footlights with a match and blowing them out again. The Encores of 1920 by Leonard Finkelstein and Bud V ing were welcomed by everyone. 7 he Alice Pine Gown, coached by Leonard Finkelstein, was what the audience was waiting for. Alice Kelm, supported by her blue-clad chorus girls made an undoubted hit. With the assistance of the orchestra and the three practice teachers who couched the plays, the first official performance of the I niversitv High Flayers was an unusual success.

LAMPUANU HHYEi WILDES STAPLES RILEY Fifty-Four THE CHRISTMAS PARTY of flu events that every student looks forward to is the annual Christinas Party. From Freshman to Senior and back again it is a great event. This great party is always staged in the ballroom of the Minnesota Union. This year the program under the general charge of Mrs. McCarn consisted of carol singing by the Glee Clubs, and a Christmas play “Why The Chimes Rang,’’ presented by the Senior Public-Speaking Class. After this pleasant preamble the real business of the afternoon dancing was enlivened by George Barton’s orchestra. When everyone was finally worn out. Miss Amidon and her assistants provided welcome refreshments as the climax of a glorious afternoon. MARDI GRAS The Juniors and Seniors frolicked at a Masquerade at Shevlin Hall, Saturday evening, February 2( . At eight-thirty, gypsies, pirates, farmers, orientals, and Spanish ladies and gentlemen began to assemble at the hull. At ten o’clock there was a Grand March in order that the prizes might be awarded. Because of the many clever costumes the six faculty members had great difficulty in choosing the winners, but the decisions were finally made. The prizes were awarded to Everett Drake, a Spanish Toreador, and one each to Jane Armstrong and Lillian Bissell, dressed as Easter chicks. Booby prizes for the funniest costumes went to Donna Kurtz, and Donald Burch, both dressed as Bowery girls. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Smith by their changed identities aroused much curiosity which was not satisfied until long after the others had been unmasked. Hung at either end of the ballroom were weird masks designed by Jane Armstrong. chairman of the decorations. Great festoons of serpentine added to the gayety of the scene. Ruth McMahon, chairman of the music committee, succeeded in obtaining an unusually peppy orchestra. General chairman of the entire arrangements was Harlowe Gieseke. DANCING CLASSES University High School boasts a situation rarely found anywhere in the country, a dancing class. This was established by the faculty as a means of satisfying in an educational as well as an entertaining way the craving of the students for more dancing in their social life. This class has been capably taught by Miss Marie Rothfuss of St. Paul and supervised by Mrs. Patterson. Fifty-Five Ten lessons were offered at a nominal price. The classes were held on the Fridays before Lent not otherwise occupied with school affairs. An enrollment of 135 greatly exceeded previous expectation. As these classes were particularly attended by the underclassmen, they were a decided help in getting acquainted., and they also led to a better type of dancing. SUNLIGHTS The “Sunlights” have given opportunities for the entire school to meet socially. Several of these were held at the Men’s Union and were very well attended. The orchestra was supplied by George Barton and his snappy syncopators. The parties have been a social project for the entire school at which pupils who took dancing HOMECOMING OF 1926 The Homecoining of 1926 was a tremendous success. The Senate which was responsible for the affair, deserves many thanks. Coming up from the River Flats tired, and suffering under a 24-0 defeat as a present from Excelsior, the U Highitcs soon shook off their misery at that memorable Homecoming banquet at Shevlin Hall on the evening of October 29. Here gathered the alumni and the student body in large numbers, to show their pride in the team which had fought so bard and well. The speeches made by the alumni had subjects so arranged on the program that the first letters formed U High Homecoming. With Bob Dc Vinny as Toastmaster, the program was very entertaining. All the past football captains and A1 Tucker, this year's captain, were on the program. Three girls from different classes represented the alumni; Rhoda Pierce, the student body; and Miss Dora V. Smith, the faculty. The evening was brought to a climax by a lively dance, which everyone enjoyed immensely. VvV.o v T v y.vv U.HI. SUM IHHB could have further practise and enjoyment. On the last day of the school week, the “Sunlights” furnished a recreation and a let-down after a week of study. They not only afforded entertainment but gave the school a feeling of unity. So 'well have they succeeded in their purpose, that it is hoped the school will con-• tinuc this activity.

With only five lettermen and two reserves returning from last year’s eleven, Coach Peterson succeeded in molding together a formidable team which was a constant contender for the I.ake District title. The veterans who returned were: Captain AI Tucker, Barwisc, Gicseke, Drake, Vrooman, Rasmussen, and Coffey. In the curtain raiser, U High and Wayzata battled to a ( to 6 deadlock. The maroon and gold warriors humbled their ancient rivals S. P. A. in the second game of the season to the tune of 21 to 7. Showing the best form of the entire season, U High plunged, ran, and passed their way to a decisive 21 to 0 victory over St. Louis Park on the latter’s Held. In the next game the team succeeded in nosing out Hopkins in a spirited, hard-fought contest, (5 to 0. In the University High Homecoming game which practically decided the Lake District Championship, the fighting U high eleven went down to a 2 V to 0 defeat before their superior rivals, Excelsior High. The game was witnessed by the largest crowd that has ever attended a I High game. Handicapped by the loss of several regulars from injuries received in the Excelsior game, the gridders were forced to accept their second defeat of the season from Blake Academy. The score was l.'l to 0. The team journeyed out to Mound for the final game of the season and returned home with a 7 to 6 victory.

Captain Drake and Rasmussen were the only lettermcn who returned from last year’s team. The squad was hampered all season by the difficulty of obtaining reasonable hours for practice. They were able to get the floor for only one hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while on Mondays and Wednesdays it was 5:30 before they were able to start their workout. While the rest of the school was reveling at the Christmas Party, the basketball team journeyed to Shakopee and turned in their first win of the season. 13 to 11. In the only game played on the. big Armory floor, L’ high met and defeated Excelsior, who later captured the District and Regional titles, in the biggest upset of the season, 12 to 8. U High lost to St. Louis Park after a fierce struggle. 20 to 18. On Mound’s miniature floor and in a game marred by roughness, the maroon and gold cagers were defeated 17 to It. U High, although leading at the half in both the next two home games, was defeated each time; Hopkins winning 28 to I t, and St. Louis Park I t to !). u high journeyed out of town for the next three games with Chaska, Jordan, and Way .at a and on each occasion met defeat. Hacked by three bus loads of wildly cheering rooters, U High was eliminated in the first round of the District Tournament by the Chaska team, runners-up for the District title.

Although only four veterans returned from last year's crack team. Coach Olson and C aptain Steve Harlow developed an aggregation well able to carry on U High’s swimming standard of former years. In tin- first swimming meet of the season, t' High defeated Johnson High. 53 to 1(5. The maroon and gold swimmers took first place in every event. Valiantly striving to break Shattuck's string of victories over I' High, the local mermen went down to defeat, 52 Co 17. Our swimmers seemed unable to shake off the Shattuek jinx which has been in evidence during the last four years. The campus lads in the next meet splashed their way to a well earned t-6 to 22 victory over Rochester. Handicapped by sickness, L High fell before Hlake 15 to 21. The score does not indicate the closeness of the battle, for Hlake triumphed only after a hard-fought struggle. St. Thomas was the next victim of Olson’s proteges, falling before them by a 22 to 17 score. In the Northwestern Interscholastic Swimming Meet, L' High captured fourth place through the sterling work of Captain Steve Harlow, who placed second in the 10 yard dash and third in the 100 yard free-style, giving V High a total of .� points.

Captain Gullandcr issued the call for track candidates early in April to start workouts on the indoor track of the stadium. With only four veterans, Gullandcr. Drake, Rasmussen, and Bissell, returning, prospects at the beginning of the season were not very bright; however, the uncovering of several new men instilled hope in the hearts of the cinder-path artists. In the first contest of the year V High entered a medley relay team in the Hamline Relays which captured third place in their event. The team met Mechanic Arts in the only dual meet of tin- season and because of the lack of sufficient weight throwers lost by tin- score of 58 to H. U High garnered SO'A points at the Lake District track meet held at the Hopkins County Fair Grounds, to capture second place. In the State Interscholastic track meet which was held in the Memorial Stadium on Decoration Day U High placed in two events, an increase of one over last year’s record. Jurgen son captured a fourth place in the half-mile and Bissell took a fourth in the quarter-mile, giving the team a total of four points. The next Saturday five members of the team set forth in Bissell's battered collegiate Ford for the Hutchinson Invitation track meet. After overcoming the innumerable hardships which accompany traveling in collegiate Fords, the group arrived just in time to participate in the meet. The boys gathered nine points to place U High sixth out of the fourteen schools entered.

The six veterans who reported to Coach Hanson at the beginning of spring practice were: Captain Hynes, Al Todd. Merritt. Berry, Robertson, and Carrol. The team made an auspicious debut by defeating the St. Louis Park aggregation 7 to 5 on the Park’s diamond. The game was a see-saw affair throughout, the lead changing sides many times. On the following Friday I' High entertained Hopkins by administering to them a 13 to 2 defeat. In the third game of the season the nine motored out to Excelsior and forced them to accept a 9 to beating. I' High's winning streak remained intact as a result of a (i to 0 shut-out handed to the Hopkins team. Excelsior journeyed in for the next game with high hopes of avenging their previous defeat. After a closely contested game U High emerged on the long end of a to 1 score. ’Hie Gopher Cubs came from behind in the final game of the season with St. Louis Park to tie the score and thereby clinch the Lake District Championship. The game was called at the end of the ninth inning on account of darkness. Sixlv-Fi 't LINEUPS L. K. U T. U : C. It. It. It. (i. T. K. 3 L. II......... It. H F.

The aquatic stars of each class did their very l est to capture the honors; hut after a desperate struggle, the Seniors emerged wet and triumphant. The swimming meet is an annual event of great importance. Each girl who participates must have live practices in the pool before she is allowed to swim in the meet. The races and other aquatic feats require great skill and there is always a large representation of the student body to witness the event. BASEBALL, 1926 Every spring, as soon as the weather allows, the diamond stars are out for practice. Baseball is the all-absorbing current topic, the theme of every discussion. Every girl gets her chance at the hat and in the field. Practices are continued in playhour, as well as the regular class periods. The final game of the 1926 tournament was an 8 to 8 tic between the Sophomores and the Juniors, hut the Sophomores won the tournament.

Nevertheless, regardless of the handicaps which harass the proceedings, there is a tournament every year, and it is a fairly true representation of ability. From the winners of the second round: Margaret Canfield, Madge Strieklcr, Doris Rockwell, Nancy Staples, and Eileen Slattery, Madge carried off the victory. SOCCER, 1026 The soccer contest in the fall was a true trial of ability.

In the Tournament for 1926 the Sophomore and Senior games resulted in a tie for both A and B teams. The points were divided equally among the two classes. THE OUTING CLUB In each class an outing leader was chosen to plan and stimulate out-of-door activities for the class, and to receive the reports of the girls engaging in such activities. An hour a day spent in out-door action gives a girl 10 points. In order SixtySine iESZH to become a member of this club, any girl must have earned at least 100 points within a period of six weeks. To retain membership in the outing club, a girl must keep up her out-door activities and abide by the rules ami regulations of the club. The purpose of this club is to promote out door exercise and it is a form of inter-el ass competition. BASKETBALL, 1927 Tile Basketball tournament this year was a struggle between the three under classes. The Seniors, with two exceptions, did not have enough practices for a team. The two, Mary Wildes and Winifred Washburn, were given their points and a chance at the “All-Star” team.

Second, when tin- afore-mentioned hairs have gained the almost uiialtalnable length of two Inches, braid them carefully every night. Third, when tin hairs at Inst reach the workable stage, go in swimming and decide tlint the bob is the most satisfactory!

The location of the magnlflclcnt new structure on the river bank has been the scene of many football scrimmages and field days In tin-past. The site is unusually well chosen, being withdrawn from the distraction of the Woman's Gym and Shcvlln Hall. The onrth was broken by Mr. Austen 11.

To be brutes in general. Students in U. High have a great advantage over other students of the I . S., which we do not often appreciate. Where else could one find such a beautifully toned coffin of music as the crated mechanism of our Vlctrola? During the course of its eventful life it has brought joy to the hearts of the Shakespeare lovers. Burns and Tennyson roll over in their, graves as they hear the delicate scrapings and scratchings which make infamous their names for evermore. Through the rumblings and roarings of the intrieutc mechanism, one can even occa- sionally distinguish a tune. Why not let the Senior class show its appreciation of this unusual asset to our school by presenting a package of needles which would enable the mahogany box to articulate to future generations?
