K T W K N T Y • T II R E B — The Periscope OUR EAU CLAIRE NORMAL True faith in a deserving man or a deserving institution is an invisible force which works quietly and surely for the good of that toward which it is directed. Emerson once said, An institution is but he lengthened shadow of a Man. Because this is so. it leaves an impression either for good or for evil. Our faith in the Eau Claire Normal is built on a foundation that is as old as the beginning of time; it is built on faith in the ideals of Man. Great movements generally originate from small beginnings. The desire for knowledge dates back to the beginning when man first explored the Garden of Eden. Socrates, Aristole. Plato, and Jesus of Nazareth established schools on which the present system is founded. Our schools, churches, all our present civilization, stand as a monument to our ancestors. Although the ring of their axes has ceased and will be heard no more, the impression made by our fathers is still upon us. Let us leave something, that this old world will be a little better for our having been here. Arthur Anderson A (.

He bowed his head, and bent his knee Upon the monarch’s silken stool; His pleading voice arose: O Lord, Be merciful to me, a fool! ‘Tis not by guilt the onward sweep Of truth and right. O Lord, we stay ; ‘Tis by our follies that so long We hold the earth from heaven away. These clumsy feet, still in the mire. Go crushing blossoms without end; These hard, well-meaning hands we thrust Among the heartstrings of a friend. The ill-timed truth we might have kept— Who knows how sharp it pierced and stung! The word we had not sense to say— Who know how grandly it had rung! “Our faults no tenderness should ask. The chastening stripes must cleanse them all; But for our blunders—Oh, in shame Before the eyes of heaven we fall. Earth bears no balsam for mistakes; Men crown the knave, and scourge the tool That did his will; but Thou, O Lord, Be merciful to me, a fool! The room was hushed; in silence rose The King, and sought his gardens cool. And walked apart, and murmured low, Be merciful to me, a fool! —Edward Rowland Sill.

Looks great. You certainly are the berries now.” “Why Mr. Herrick, how you flatter me! ' In fact she was pretty. Jimmy had displayed remarkable taste in choosing his stenographer, but the first time Uncle Jim saw her he snorted at Jimmy, Jr., whose reply had been rather feeble, as he knew how Uncle Jim detested most women, especially modern ones. That was two years before, shortly after Jimmy had taken over his Uncle’s business and had become General Manager of the Herrick Construction Company, as he had his private office door labeled. “Have you started on those Putnam contracts. Louise?” “They are all ready for your signature.’ Hand them over; and pound that old typewriter, 1 hear Uncle Jimmy coming. What Uncle Jim saw when he opened the door pleased him heartily. The stenographer was playing ragtime” on the typewriter. Jimmy sat at his desk, hair rumpled, pen in one hand, and receiver at his ear. “That’s fine, Mr. Putnam. Jim Herrick, Sr., heard him say; “they are all ready to be sent out. Turning around, he faced his Uncle. Hello Unk. Nice morning. Have a chair! Want a cigarette? When are you going east? “Good morning, Jimmy. No. thanks, I have a cigar. I’ll have a chair, though. I'm going east this morning for the summer, and I came to say good bye. Watch everything closely while I’m away. Uncle Jim had lost touch with the business of the company, but he still imagined that without his advice the venture would go on the rocks. “Don’t you worry Unk’ old man. Run along and have a good time. We will take care of this old concern. By the way. I almost forgot to tell you. I am moving from my apartment to a little place on Beaufort Avenue. Too stuffy at the old place. Thought I would tell you before you left. “What Uncle Jim saw when he opened the door pleased him heartily.

Good bye Jim. and after shaking hands he left the office. “Whew, breathed Jimmy, “he almost guessed it. “Guessed what? inquired the stenographer. “Nothin’ Jimmy answered. He was thinking of the warning Uncle Jim had given him when he placed the reins of the business in his hands. “Jimmy, keep away from all women. Stay a bachelor like me. If you ever get married you lose this job. and I’ll cut you off without a nickel. Remember! Walk the straight and narrow from now on.' This had indeed been a blow to Jimmy. Jr. Women were his idols, at whose shrine he worshipped almost every night in the week. In fact at this very moment, one was gazing at a sparkling diamond, very gallantly placed on her finger by a Mr. James Herrick. Clarence Anderson. Jimmie's closest friend and shadow, was at that moment busily trying to add a column of figures that persisted in coming out wrong. He was starting to add them for the fourth time, when the telephone rang at his elbow. Grabbing the instrument he, listened: Hello, Clarence?.....Hiis is Jim. Arc you busy? “All right, I'll be right down. —and the receiver was slammed up. In a few minutes Clarence’s door banged, and in rushed Jim. “Oh boy! Clarence we re in luck, he shouted. “Hot towel! Uncle Jim's gone east for all summer! “You don't say! I see good roads ahead, old man! For twenty minutes the two sat with heads close together, conversing in a low tone. Finally Jim rose to go. Til see you at seven then, Clarence. So long. So saying he left the office. A few minutes later found him back at his own desk, giving orders. After a few minutes he rose to go. “If anyone asks for me, I have gone fishing, and won’t be back for a week. Good bye and be good. This to his stenographer—and the door closed on his retreating figure. Jimmy hurried home. Reaching his apartment he siezed the telephone and almost shouted. 1446 Belleview. and make it snappy. He had not long to wait before a voice answered: “That you Jimmy-? Listen dear. I’ve been waiting all morning for you to call. I’m so excited! Is everything all right? “Everything is wonderful. Uncle Jim went east this morning. Can you feature that for luck? How is Constance? “Constance is just as excited as I am. Clarence hasn't called yet. Have you seen him? “Yes. Just came from there. Listen, everything goes just as we planned it. Expect us about ten tonight. Get me? Good bye dear. “Oh. Jimmy! came over the wire, accompanied by a hysterical little laugh; isn’t it wonderful? Good bye. The rest of the day Jimmy spent in packing numerous suit cases. If he was going on a fishing trip, it certainly must be a real one. Never before had a fisherman packed so elaborately as did Jimmy, and for just an ordinary fishing trip, the fisherman does not usually appear nervous. The girls were giving a party. Young ladies in gay colors bedecked the terrace and lawn; strolling here and there, laughing and talking, and occasionally breaking forth in song. On the porch, somewhat in the shadow, sat two especially pretty girls. They were not mingling with the others but were talking earnestly to each other. What time did you say they would be here, Jessie? anxiously inquired one. “Ten o’clock! I am nearly frightened to death! aren't you? “Am I? If we should get caught— P A (i E F t K TV-SEV E N The Periscope Let’s go to our room, it’s ten minutes to ten now! Upstairs the girls knelt down beside the open window. Suddenly a low whistle was heard directly underneath. There they are ! cried Jessie. It’s time to go. Next, if the Old Moon chose to tell, two girls might have been seen creeping cautiously down the fire escape, and if the Old Man of the Night wished to relate further, he might tell of two stalwart young men reaching up two pairs of strong young arms to receive precious burdens. A few seconds later four people might have been seen to steal away from the house, enter a car, and hastily drive away. A few minutes later four solemn “I do’s were said, and four happy young people drove away from the place toward the mountains, where fishing could not be excelled. Two weeks later Jimmy, as usual, crashed into his office, and nearly fainted, or felt as if he wanted to. There sat Uncle Jim, calmly smoking a long cigar. Hello Jimmy, been on a vacation? How’s fishing? Didn’t expect to see me, did you? No 1 didn't. Here Jimmy tried to swallow his Adam's apple. Awfully glad to see you Unk.’ Fiahin’ was fine. Guess there’s going to be a storm. he finished, mopping his forehead vigorously. What’s the number of your new house, Jimmy? 486 California Avenue. Fine. Here Jim, Sr., reached for the telephone, called up the express office and directed them to send his baggage to 486 California Avenue. I think I’ll stay with you awhile Jimmy. It's pretty lonesome at the hotel. I'll go up to the house in just a few minutes. Jimmy had a sensation of choking to death. What could he do? If the old gentleman was to find out that he was married, it was taps for him and his job. But the girls were there! Clarence had decided to stay with them until he could find a suitable place. Something had to be done’ and that at once. While Jim. Sr., was busy looking at some papers. Jimmy, Jr., was busy writing a note to his stenographer. Hold him here while 1 run up to the house. Matter of life and death. Taking up a blank sheet of paper, he placed the note on it and approached her. Look these over please, and act accordingly, he said in his most business-like tone. Certainly Mr. Herrick. she answered. She read the note, looking at Jimmy when she finished. That individual let one eyelid close over the eye in a very significant manner. She understood and smiled. Excuse me a few minutes, Unk.’ ’ coughed Jimmy, I've got a business engagement at the bank. I ll be back in a minute and run you up to the house. Seizing his hat Jimmy raced down the steps, jumped into his car and sped away. Seems to be in an awful hurry for a business engagement, mused Jim. Sr. I wonder? h’m.” Oh. Mr. Herrick! I’ve some house plans the architect has just sent up. Would you like to see them? If there was anything the old gentleman liked, it was building plans. Taking the plans, he had soon forgotten his nephew's hasty retreat. On his face was a look of perplexity, on the girl's a lurking smile. Jimmy had broken all records in reaching home. Arriving there, he had burst into the house shouting. He’s back! He s back! and making such an uproar that two frightened girls gazed at him astounded. What are you raving about, Jimmy? Who’s back, inquired Jessie. I A • E K t KTV-EIG II T The Periscope “Uncle Jim is back. and he is coming up here to stay. What will wc do to keep him from finding out?’ After a few minutes of floor-walking, Jimmy suddenly exclaimed, “I have ill Listen girls! Get a maid s outfit. Jessie can be the maid and Constance can be Clarence's sister who is visiting us. Constance, call up Clarence and tell him the news so he will come home prepared, —and away went Jimmy. Uncle Jim was deep in the architect's plans when the door was suddenly thrown open, and in came Jimmy in his usual hurricane manner. Let's take a drive to Forrest Street, 'Unk;' 1 want to see the new flats. “I’d rather go up to the house and sleep, Jimmy. He mistook the look that came over Jimmie's face for one of hurt feelings, so he added quickly. But I’ll go with you. Jimmy smiled his relief and murmurred, Awfully good of you 'Unk.' “ For once Jimmy took his time in leaving the office, and for once his car started away at a white man’s pace. Two hours later, when they arrived at the new home for dinner, they were met at the door by a very pretty maid, who took their hats and sweetly asked. Is there anything you wish? No, de—, er. Jessie, thank you, stammered Jimmy. “Seems to me you are somewhat familiar with your maid, grumbled Jim. Sr. Did you hire her for her looks? Hire! Jimmy wanted to shout, but the appearance of Constance interrupted further conversation. “Uncle Jim, you know' Clarence Anderson. This is his sister. Miss Anderson, of whom you have heard me speak. ’ So glad to meet you, cooed Constance, I am here helping these boys. Clarence and Jimmy, get settled down. Boys need a woman s help about the house, you know. Yes. we do, chimed in Jimmy. She is a wonderful helper, too. Jim. Sr., had acknowledged the introduction but had said nothing more. From the look on his face Jimmy knew he was cultivating a pet grouch; so deciding that discretion was the better part of valor, he decided to withdraw to the kitchen to sec about dinner as he termed it. When Clarence arrived a few minutes later, he discovered Uncle Jim Herrick sitting in a comfortable chair listening to Constance chatter about housekeeping, and moving, and various other things. “Hello, Uncle Jim. he exclaimed, How arc you? Have a cigar! Glad to see you! Guess I'm all right, answered Uncle Jim, Thanks, I've wanted a smoke, all afternoon. By the time dinner was served, Clarence had succeeded in bringing back a few of Jim. Sr's, good feelings. The meal was a quiet one. Realizing that they were on dangerous ground, the conversation was very limited. Jessie was both cook and maid, and the heat from the cooking had added a glow to her face that made her more charming than ever. Jimmy had caught his Uncle stealing side-long glances at her, but he was not sure whether they were of approval or not. The food was excellent and Uncle Jim praised it heartily, surprising all by saying, If I could have found a girl when I was young who could cook like this one, I believe I should have married her. Jimmy looked at his plate and blushed, as did the other two. Thus things went on for a week. Uncle Jim’s admiration for the I A GE FIFTY-NINE The Periscope pretty maid increased. One night he surprised Jimmy by asking. ’Do 1 look very old Jimmy?” “Why, no! gapped the astonished nephew, “not very. Why?” “Oh. nothing, said the old fellow, and sighed softly. I hat night. Uncle Jim stole into the kitchen and dried the dishes. He afterwards told Jimmy that he ought to hire a helper. That young man smiled to himself. After that Uncle Jim could be found in the kitchen after every meal. As he and Jimmy were discussing a building project one night, Jimmy was startled by hearing his Uncle say, “I believe I’ll get married.’’ “To whom?” gasped his companion. “Jessie.” answered his Uncle. “But you can’t marry her. She has one husband already, Jimmy fairly shouted. “1 don’t believe it! answered his Uncle, “and I’m going to ask her, Jimmy,” his tone grew fatherly and confidential. “If you would pick out a girl like that to marry. I’d take back my threat.” Thanks ’Unk.’ old man. I’ll remember that.” and Jimmy begun to whistle “Oh, Promise Me.” That night when Uncle Jim came home from the theatre, he decided to make a trip to the kitchen and get a cup of coffee. As he neared the door, he noticed a light shining from underneath. “Ah, he ejaculated. “Jessie is here; I’ll surprise her.” He did. and himself too. Jessie was there, in Jimmy’s arms. “For just a second he hesitated, then shouted, ’’What does this mean? ” “It means,' said Jimmy, “that I am the husband that I told you about. It means that you said you would forgive me if I married a girl “That night. Uncle Jim stole into the kitchen and wiped dishes.’’ like Jessie. It also means that if you don’t like it, you can go to thunder,' and he tightened his already almost suffocating embrace. For a second Uncle Jim hesitated, but he was a good loser, and with a sheepish grin said, “You beat me boy! I was an old fool, anyhow. I’m proud to welcome my new niece, but I would be prouder and happier if she would give her old Uncle a real kiss.” And she did. A G K SIXTY L. C. McMahan. The Periscope A Vision of Sudden Death (Second Prize) These words are an apology to the unquiet shade of I homas De Quincey. We were reading his “Vision of Sudden Death' during a tran-cient snowstorm in late Spring. As I gazed abstractedly through the window, 1 was recalled by Mr. Murray's assertion that such lack of attention must needs grieve De Quincey s spirit. It was not inattention, for the writer's words were painting for me pictures of summer in the swirling snow. As I stand in the doorway of my temporary telegraph office on a Sunday afternoon in early August, a quaint little figure trudges up the road and. smiling, stops to speak to me. With the instinctive trust of childhood, he becomes friendly at once. As he questions me about my work, big brown eyes twinkle at me from the generously freckled face. His clothes arc clean and neatly patched but how incongruous! The coat, much too large for him, the big, dusty old shoes, the flappy felt hat, brown with age, I fancy have descended to him from his father. They are his best, for he has just come from Sunday School. One look into the earnest, honest face shows that he is a man for a that.' He offers me some of the wild flowers he has been gathering by the way. “Take any you want, only the red lilies, for they are mother s favorites.' The pictures fades. Another day ccmes and he enters my office with his sister, a tiny mite of galvanic inquisitiveness. She wears a blue-checked calico dress. A blue sunbonnet is thrown back on her head. With my smile her shyness vanishes. Attracted by the clicking instruments she pulls a chair up to my table and climbs into it. How’ fast the little hands fly from one shiny instrument to another! With what an ecstatic little shriek of joy she greets the faint electric shock she accidently receives! There is scarce time for me to speak a word between the child questions which tumble from her lips. How strange it seems as I watch her, that I, who have sneered so often at the rosebud lips of romance, can think of nothing more like her lips than the fragile fragrant beauty of rose petals. Her eyes, like her garb, arc blue, as blue and sparkling as if they had caught a reflection from that Sea of Galilee, where the friend of all little children walked. This picture too, is gone. They come to me often in the days that follows, days in which 1 feel the tightening of those invisible silken cords with which children enmesh the hearts of those about them. I learn that their father is addicted to drink. Sometimes they bring an older girl friend of theirs who has long golden curls. Then comes a day in mid-October, when as a freight train shuttles by, I hear the raucous scream of clutching brakes. 1 step to the door and behold my vision of sudden death. The drunken father has tried to drive across the tracks ahead of the train. They are brought in and laid in the farther room with their heads toward the flimsy partition separating us. As the light of the changing sunset flames through the window in the other room. I go to bid my friends goodbye. The father lies nearest the door. Death, which has taken him beyond the reach of human judgment, on him alone has left no mark. I’ A E SIXTY - 0 N K The Periscope The face of the older girl is covered with a white apron, from beneath which straggling curls escape. The crimson sunset fades to gold but those vagrant wisps are dabbled with red. I think of how young and helpless she has been, of the little severed hand which was flung out in its puny effort to ward off the twin overwhelming forces of man's genius and man’s folly. Beyond her lies little Meta, the blue sunbonnet concealing her face. The once so busy little hands are folded and quiet now. There is a vast, vast stillness in the last sleep of a little child. I think of the closed eyes from which the sparkling blue has forever vanished, of the half-parted lips which will question me no more, mute, icy lips, minding one of roses still, but white roses now. Through these eloquent tongues of silence I hear again His warning, uttered near the sunlit waters of that Eastern Sea: Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me- Edward lies nearest the window. The folded hands are almost concealed by the big coatslccves. The worn toes of the big shoes are drooped pathetically outward. The old slouched hat is pulled down over his face. As 1 stoop to raise the hat I feel his voice come to me through that great silence which separates the quick from the dead: Remember me as I was, not as I am.” The clouds in the western sky are a quiet, lonely gray as 1 go back to my chair in the other room. As 1 look back at that partition a great yearning fill my heart for those who will come to me no more. Gray fades to dusk. There comes a shadow on the floor. As night slowly blots out the twilight, I sit and watch that crimsoned shadow ebb and flow, widen and deepen, as it nears my chair, bringing with it an eternal hatred for strong drink and an eternal love for little children. Tis another Sunday afternoon, and at the close of the funeral service across the little valley, I hear a woman’s wailing, high and sad. ’the voice of Rachel.’ The mind of the mother has followed the souls of her babes into the shadowy Unknown. Again I seem to sec the crimson lilies clasped in that chubby freckled hand, and with them comes memory of the promise of One who sat and taught among the lilies on that mountain slope in Galilee, Blessed are they that mourn—.” In the clear October sunlight 1 watch the flower-hidden coffins of my little friends disappear down the poplar-bordered road, and they are gone. Now, between them and me, come the dreary rains, faded flowers, dead leaves, and winter snows. If DeQuinccy’s spirit still wanders restless through the green fields by the still waters on the farther side of that low green tent’ may he be found and cheered by the joyous spirits of these little children, whose mortal bodies lie with his in the all engulfing sepulcher of the past.

Ne’er felt a dignity with other flowers, Tho' she could not have dwelt in fairer bowers; For near her grew the stately hollyhock. Who, in her crimson dresses, seemed to mock The lily dressed in plain array. Emblem of purity and not decay. The coxcomb also raised his flaunting head And o’er the lily seemed a shade to spread. The mignonette danced lightly to and fro Amid the other sisters in the row. And seemed to say throughout the sprightly dance. That here the comely lily came by chance; That ne’er could she e’er hope to grace a bower. That pale-faced ill-neglected flower. Then, in the garden winged a laden bee, With silken wings; his life from care seemed free. He passed the night-shade, tho' her bloom was fair. For in her heart lurked poisons, none could bear; The hollyhock, tho’ beautiful to see, Ne’er shed fragrance for the seeking bee; The mignonette so haughty, waited long But did not hear the bee’s celestial song. For, after straying through the garden fair Fie forthwith hastened to the lily rare And o’er her waxen petals quick did glide Until he reached her heart, now open wide. Here he did sip of nectar to his fill And cheered the lily, though his voice was shrill; And tho’ plain dressed in modest white array. She found her place mongst her companions gay.

It is inadequate to measure the success of any athletic season by the harsh method of examining its tabulated record, as the 1923 season demonstrates. Eau Claire played the hardest schedule any Eau Claire team ever played. Starting the season against the strong Hamline University team of St. Paul, the team battled its way through the three preliminary games in great style, defeating Hibbing Junior College and the strong St. John Military Academy of Delafield in easy fashion. It was at St. Johns that the boys first showed signs of developing into a championship team. All the while coach Simpson kept pointing towards the Superior game, our first conference game of the season. One week later the team traveled to the city at the head of the lakes and by the spirit of never say die, defeated Superior 16-14. Superior had, without a doubt, the second best team in the state. I he boys returned confident of going through the season undefeated, and after a much needed two weeks rest entered the Stevens Point game under handicaps of many injuries received in the Superior game. They defeated Stevens Point I 2-6. using no more than five different plays, fearing to show what they had to River Falls and Whitewater scouts. One week later, on November 1 0, we played River Falls, our ancient rivals. No sadder tragedy was ever penned than the history of that game. Playing football that was capable of beating any team in the state. Eau Claire jumped into the lead early in the second half by a drop-kick. But at this point 'Lady Luck who had taken no part in the game thus far, was seen to enter the River Falls bleachers and as the game seemed won for Eau Claire she threw a pass, one in a million, and got away with it; and an Eau Claire team suffered their first defeat in two years, 7-3. After another two weeks rest our team, their morale broken by a fluke, journeyed to Whitewater where they played miserable football and were decisively beaten by that team. 26-6. Although Eau Claire did not win the championship, her team was considered one of the best in the conference. No team scored a point against Eau Claire, without a bitter struggle. The team was never beaten until the final whistle, as was shown in the Superior game, when nosed out by one point and with three minutes left to play, they rallied and won in the last fifty seconds. The team suffered two losses, starting out with the River Falls game and ending at Whitewater. These were interspersed with generous sprinklings of 'Dame Misfortune’s choicest brands. Had we not possessed the pluckiest boys and the best coach in the state, the above review would read like an account of the obsequies of our team instead of the brilliant record made by our boys. Even though the loss of Captain Chichester, ’Art Olson. Swede Donaldson, Pickles McMahon, and Arthur Rahn through graduation will be a severe one, there is abundance of material at hand, and Eau Claire should again run strong for the championship under the guiding hand of Coach Simpson and Captain-elect Brinkman.

This game was played under the rules of the newly introduced ’’dummy ' game, and did nothing more than to give Coach Simpson a “birdseye-view of the boys who were to uphold the honor of Eau Claire Normal on the I 92 3 gridiron. Twenty-five men were taken to St. Paul, and every one was given a chance to show what he could do. Although outweighed, Eau Claire showed plenty of fight and drive, and this was what Coach Simpson was looking for. Arthur Kahn, star guard, received injuries in this game that kept him on the side-lines until late in the season. EAU CLAIRE. I 3; HIBB1NG JUNIOR COLLEGE. 0 On October 6 Eau Claire opened the home season by defeating the Hibbing Junior College of Hibbing, Minn., I 3-0. With both teams using straight football. Eau Claire and Hibbing battled on even terms during the first period; but early in the second half Mehls for Eau Claire intercepted a Hibbing pass and a few minutes later after completing a pass from McMahon to Art Olson which put the ball on the Hibbing ten yard line. Dahl plunged through center for Eau Claire s first touchdown. McMahon kicked goal. After an exchange of punts during the fourth quarter, Eau Claire recovered a Hibbing fumble on their ten yard line. Two line plays failed to gain, but on the third down McMahon threw a pass to ’’Art” Olson which scored the second touchdown . The point after touchdown was not counted, as an Eau Claire man was off-side. The superior kicking of Mehls did much to win this game for Eau Claire. Loughrea at guard and ’’Art Olson at left halfback played stellar ball for Eau Claire. EAU CLAIRE. 19; ST. JOHN’S MILITARY ACADEMY. 0 One week later Eau Claire traveled to Dclafield where they were to receive their first real test of the season. Our team proved too much for the soldiers, and after what at first appeared to be a nothing to nothing game. Eau Claire succeeded in putting across a touchdown and a drop kick in the second quarter, went scoreless in the third, and registered another touchdown and a dropkick in the final quarter. Johnnie Gunderson and Dahl in the backfield made runs ranging from five to forty yards making it possible for their team mates to score nineteen points. The boys returned home determined to defeat Superior the following Saturday. EAU CLAIRE. 16; SUPERIOR. 14 Our team traveled to Superior and defeated their crack team 16-14 before a home-coming crowd of three thousand people. The game was P A G £ S E V E N T Y . O N £ The Periscope thrilling and full of action from whistle to whistle. Upon receiving the kick-off, Superior started off with a rush and by straight football put the ball on our one yard line, where Eau Claire braced and held for four downs. Eau Claire kicked out of bounds on the twenty yard line and Superior again started for a touchdown, but lost the ball on a fumble. This was the nearest Superior came to scoring in the first half. As the second quarter opened. Eau Claire recovered a fumble and unable to pierce the strong forward wall of Superior, McMahon dropped back to the thirty yard line and booted a field goal for three points. Just before the half ended, Superior again lost the ball on a fumble on the thirty-five yard mark. A pass from McMahon to Donaldson netted eighteen yards and McMahon added three more points by a drop kick. When the second half open. Eau Claire led by ‘Art” Olson was hitting Superior’s line for long gains. l ime and again the Eau Claire backs would plunge through holes made by our line for five and ten yards, until the ball was placed on the two yard line by Dahl. On the next play “Art” Olson raced through a hole opened by Brinkman and Donaldson for our only touchdown of the game. The try for point was made by a drop kick. Superior then opened up with a varied attack of line smashes and end runs that fairly swept Eau Claire off their feet and scored two touchdowns, making both points after touchdowns by drop kicks. Four minutes were left to play when the score was 14-13 in favor of Superior. Eau Claire never gave up. but opened up with an aerial attack that put the ball on the thirty yard line. McMahon s luck still held and he succeeded in putting over a forty yard drop kick making the score 16-14. Credit must be given the Eau Claire line for holding Superior to two touchdowns. Donaldson. Mehls. Brinkman and Rasmus showed up best in the line, and Art Olson in the backfield stood out from the rest by his wonderful playing. But the bulk of the credit goes to our midget quarterback, “Pickles” McMahon, whose drop-kicks and head work were the features of the game. EAU CLAIRE. 12; STEVENS POINT, 6. Eleven cripples faced Stevens Point here on November 3 and plainly showed the effects of the hard game played at Superior. Using nothing but regular formation plays, they fought and defeated their opponents 12-6. The game was fast and clean throughout. Stevens Point put up a much better game than was expected, as she had not won a conference game thus far. Eau Claire’s line was weak in spots and at times played miserable ball. “Ade” Olson in the backfield seemed to be the only one to hit his stride, making gains ranging from five to twenty yards. EAU CLAIRE. 3; RIVER FALLS. 7 Our championship hopes went glimmering on the tenth of November when our ancient rivals from River Falls handed an Eau Claire team their first defeat in two years. To be beaten in any game is disappointing; to be subdued after a string of victories is still harder to bear; but to lose a game at the very last minute, a game in which state championship honors are A (i E SEVE N T V - T W O The Periscope largely to be determined, is almost heart breaking. All this fell to Eau Claire on that eventful Saturday. The first quarter was evenly fought, neither team being able to penetrate the other’s line. Both then resorted to the kicking game. Mere Eau Claire, with Mehls kicking, had the advantage and gained considerable ground. Early in the second quarter, a River J ails back got away for a forty-yard run but was stopped on our five-yard line. Eau Claire with their backs to the goal line held for four downs and upon receiving the all immediately kicked out of danger. Eau Claire came back strong in the second half. Dahl returned the River Falls kick-off fifty yards to their forty-five yard line. After two line plays failed to gain, ”Ade Olson, who had taken McMahon's place at quarterback, booted a beautiful dropkick over the posts for our only points of the game. Eau Claire completely outplayed their opponents during the remainder of the game. l ime and again the Eau Claire backs would teai through the River Falls line lor five and ten yards, but we were unable to score. Upon receiving the ball in the final quarter, River Falls immediately launched an aerial attack that finally resulted in their touchdown. Eau Claire in the last minute of play tried desperately to overcome the four point lead held by River Falls, but were unable to accomplish the feat. Our boys fought until the final whistle, and every man deserves credit for the game he played. It is hard to pick out the stars of this game because every man gave all that he had, but Captain Chichester at end surely played the best game he ever played for Eau Claire Normal. EAU CLAIRE, 6; WHITEWATER. 26 The above score does not indicate the relative strength of the two teams. Eau Claire had not fully recovered from the defeat handed them by River Falls when she played Whitewater. Whitewater upon receiving the ball marched straight down the field to our one yard line where they were held for downs. Eau Claire s line weakened for an instant and the attempt to kick out of danger was blocked by a Whitewater player who fell on the ball behind our goal line for Whitewater s first score. Their second touchdown was made possible when a fifteen yard penalty was inflicted upon an Eau Claire player. This put the ball on our one-yard line, and after three attempts Whitewater succeeded in putting it across. Our lone touchdown was scored by “Ade Olson, who intercepted a Whitewater pass and ran sixty yards to the goal line.

Our team did not win the championship of the conference but was in the running until the final game, when we were defeated by La Crosse. Eau Claire holds the distinction of being the only team to defeat the La Crosse team this year. Early in the season although handicapped by the loss of Captain Brown, due to a sprained ankle, we met and defeated the La-Crosse team on their own floor, the first defeat a LaCrosse team had suffered on their own floor in four years. Four of last year letter men returned to school this year and reported to Coach Milliren when the first call for basketball men was sounded: Captain Brown, ‘Ole Olson, “Ludy” O'Reilly, and Johnnie’ Gunderson. In these four inen Coach Milliren had four hard fighting players. Among the more promising material who reported for the early workouts was Arthur Horan who latter developed into one of the best guards in the Normal conference and along with “Ole” Olson stopped many a point from being scored against our team. “Ade“ Olson of Mondovi started with a bang and was a valuable man throughout the season. “Swede Donaldson also boosted our stock by returning to school after a year’s absence, and proved to be the same old reliable “Swede. ' Glen Dahl, of Bloomer, all-tournament guard at Menomonie last year, also reported; and although not earning a regular berth this year, should make a good running mate for Captain-elect Horan, next year. Our prospects were the best in years, but “Old Lady Luck” divorced our school last fall and remained on the outside during our basketball season. This, coupled with costly injuries just when our team seemed headed for the championship, accounts for our ending the season in third place in the conference. Our coach, Mr. Milliren. deserves a great deal of credit for moulding one of the best basketball teams that ever represented the Eau Claire Normal.

Our boys were lost on the large fioor. and playing together for the first time in a regular game, could not get going and showed nothing but early season form throughout the game. Our offense was weak and unable to penetrate the defense offered by our opponents. EAU CLAIRE. 9; CARLETON. 18 In the second game of this disastrous invasion, we again met defeat, this time at the hands of Carleton, one of the leading teams of the Minnesota conference. Because our team was unaccustomed to the large floor and tired from the hard game played the night before, we lost. At times Captain Brown. “Ole and “Johnnie ’ would show signs of playing the brand of basketball that they were capable of playing, but taking all into consideration Eau Claire did not show much in these two pre-season games. EAU CLAIRE, 2 7; HEIDELBERG UNIVERSITY. 18 Eau Claire opened the home season by defeating the strong Heidelberg University team. 27-18. In this game the team showed that they were going to make a strong bid for state honors, their offense had improved and their team work as a whole was much better than in the two previous games played. Eau Claire took the lead at the start of the game and were never behind although threatened at various times during the game. EAU CLAIRE. 9; FORT SNELLING OFFICERS. 8 On January 4. Eau Claire met and decisively defeated an aggregation of former university and college stars from Fort Snelling. Eau Claire’s offense worked the ball through the defense of the officers and scored at will. Our defense was too strong for the officers to penetrate, and the only points scored against Eau Claire were long shots from the center of the floor. Coach Milliren used every man on the squad in this game. The school was very much pleased with the showing made, both on offense and defense. EAU CLAIRE. 20; RIVER FALLS. 26 The first conference game of the season was played at River Falls. Our team went up there with the determination of avenging the football defeat of last fall, but the same hard luck that was so evident here last fall followed us in this game and just when wc seemed headed for a win, “Ade” Olson, who had been playing stellar ball, was injured and had to be removed from the game. Eau Claire, playing against odds, never gave up but were on the short end of a 26-20 score when the final whistle was sounded. “Ludy O Rielly was the high scorer for Eau Claire in this game, caging three field goals and one free throw. EAU CLAIRE. 14; SUPERIOR. 8 Eau Claire won its second conference game from Superior on Friday January 18. I he game was featured by excellent teamwork on the part of Eau Claire; and our boys broke the Superior offense near the center of the floor before it got under way. 'Red' Brown and the two “Oles” did some sensational dribbling and pivoting, the former besides playing an exceptional floor game managing to drop in three field goals. Horan and O’Rielly both played good games on defense. As the game progressed, our boys grew stronger; and for the last ten minutes, they had P A G E S E V E X T V - X I N K The Periscope the Superior team bewildered by their snappy passing, pivoting, and dribbling. EAU CLAIRE. I I; NIBBING JUNIOR COLLEGE. I 7 Two games in two days was too much for our team and on the second night we were defeated by the score of 17-11. The game was clean and fast and was made snappy by the good officiating. It was featured by the good passing but poor shooting on the part of Eau Claire. Our team would work the ball down under the basket and then miss the shots. Hibbing worked the long and short pass to advantage and had her eye trained for the basket. The boys came back from Hibbing with only good words for their reception and were more than pleased with the treatment received while there. EAU CLAIRE. 18; LA CROSSE. I 7 Eau Claire went down to LaCrosse without their captain, who had been injured in the Hibbing game, and defeated the strongest team in the conference on its own floor, the first defeat for a LaCrosse team at horn : for four years. After trailing through the first half with a 5-1 I score against then., the team returned with the old fighting spirit and won the game 18-17. I he winning was due to teamwork rather than to individuals, although 0 Reilly was the individual scoring man. It was through the ability of the other players to work the ball down the floor and get it to O’Reilly that the game was won. The team as a whole played a whirlwind of a game the second half. Gunderson came out with the old drive he displayed last year, and found himself for the first time this year. The winning basket was shot by Ade Olson forty seconds before the whistle. This victory kept us in the running for the championship and clearly showed that any team on Eau Claire’s schodule was due for a tough game before the game was over. EAU CLAIRE. 19; SUPERIOR 20 Superior caught Eau Claire in a slump here on the night of February 1 and defeated us 20-19. Although our team outplayed them in every phase of the game our inability to locate the basket spelled our defeat. Eau Claire took the lead at the start of the game and it looked for a time a? if we had lost our last game for this season. I hen came the time when our offense just couldn’t hit the basket. Out of twenty-three free throws we registered just five. Had we made our free throws, we would have doubled the score on Superior; but every team plays a game in which it can not get going, and this happened to be the night that Superior caught Eau Claire. EAU CLAIRE. 21; RIVER FALLS. 14 Smarting from the defeat handed them by Superior. Eau Claire determined to take it out on our ancient rivals from River Falls; and at the start of the game we immediately proceeded to pile up the points on them. For the second time in the history of our school our team defeated River Fall? in basketball. This game will live for years in the memory of all who saw it as it was considered one of the best games ever played in the Normal gym. By winning this game, a crisis was passed on our way to the championship. Bo Floran played the best game of his career by breaking up plays under the basket and dropping in a basket from the center of the floor. Captain Brown and O'Reilly carried the offense on their shoulders, the former caging three field goals and the latter two. V A «; K EIGHT Y The Periscope EAU CLAIRE. 24; STEVENS POINT. 20 Hitting their true stride. Eau Claire played its best game of the season. With a burst of speed Eau Claire took the lead in the first few minutes of play and maintained it throughout. Stevens Point did not get going during the first half, making but five goals to our nine. Brown threw five field goals in the first half, but cculd not find the basket during the second half. O’Reilly made two field goals. ‘Art’’ Olson and Hornet worked the ball down through their opponents' defense with great skill, and also held their men down to three baskets. Gunderson with his floor work and breaking up of plays, did much to win this game. Winning this game put Eau Claire again up in first place in the conference. EAU CLAIRE. 21; STEVENS POINT. 25 Eau Claire’s hopes for a championship were dashed when we were defeated by Stevens Point in a return game played at Stevens Point. I he game was rough throughout and poorly played on the part of both teams. Our team seemed unable to hit the basket, for after taking the ball down the floor in flashes of form we would fail to score. Neither team possessed any decided advantage the first half, and the score stood 9-10 in favor of Stevens Point when it ended. In the second half, the Pointers broke loose and in the first ten binutes scored fourteen points while Eau Claire was making one. After a few substitutions, Eau Claire managed to stop the rush and Stevens Point made no more field goals. While holding them down, Eau Claire made twelve points and was undoubtedly hitting a stride which would have won the game, had there been more time to play. The game ended 21-25 in favor of Stevens Point. EAU CLAIRE, 19; LA CROSSE 30 On February 26, Eau Claire lost their last game of the season, to the championship team from LaCrosse. Eau Claire started out strong in the first half and scored six points before LaCrosse could locate the basket. LaCrosse then took time out and came back, playing a very close guarding game. They soon tied the score; and for a short time the two teams battled on even terms. The first half ended 13-12 with LaCrosse in the lead. Eau Claire came back strong again at the beginning of the second half, and soon had the score tied at 1 5 all. Our joy was short lived, however; for soon after, LaCrosse dropped in two baskets and from then on were never in danger. This was Ole Olson's last game for Eau Claire, and he surely went out in a blaze of glory; he knew that this was his last game and he gave everything he had. His guarding was without a flaw and besides holding his forward down he scored four field goals. Captain Red’’ Brown also performed in great style at forward. He will leave a big hole for Coach Milliren to fill, next year.

The affirmative teams debated at home. The debate at Eau Claire was held in the Normal School Auditorium at two-thirty o'clock. March 7, where the affirmative team of Eau Claire met the negative team of Superior. Eau Claire won by a two to one decision. The debate was preceded by several selections from the band, during which, one of the largest crowds ever attending a local Normal debate filled the auditorium. Mr. C. D. Donaldson, of the Eau Claire Normal faculty presided. The debaters in the order of their speaking were: William Gavin, Fred Curtis and William Smith of Eau Claire, and Marvin Sukoo, Nicholas Yawarsky, and Agnus Rothwcll of Superior. The judges were: R. W. Young. Superintendent of Schools, Stillwater, Minnesota; E. W. Tregs, Principal of Longfellow School. Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Rev. H. H. Frost, Director of the Wesley Foundation, University of Minnesota. The points upon which the affirmative team built their strong and victorious debate were: government regulation of private operation has failed; government ownership and operation will cure present evils; the proposed step is desirable and practicable; and the government can finance the securing and operation of the mines. The contest at River Falls took place in the Normal School Auditorium at eight o’clock in the evening. The following team defended the negative side of the question for Eau Claire: Leonard Thorson. Alvin Lightfoot, and Dean Shaver. Mr. J. W. T. Ames of the Normal School faculty, their coach, accompanied them. In spite of a good fight, the boys lost the debate. The prospects for championship debating teams for Eau Claire in nineteen twenty-five are very good. Several of this year’s best debaters will be ready, with the recruits, to start the work next year. Superior won the debate between River Falls and Superior at Superior, the same day Eau Claire won from Superior.

N I N ETY O X E The Periscope Leader and Prophet Great crises are milestones in the progress of civilization. When crises come, great men come with them. The crisis may make the man, but more often the man has been made ready for the crisis. ITe United States has seen three great crises in the age-long struggle between democracy and autocracy, and each crisis found a leader prepared to carry on the fight for liberty and right. When tyranny drove its hired soldiers up the slope of Bunker Hill, the people of the American colonies, great in their ideals and greater in their sacrifices, threw off the chains of foreign rule and made an independent state. They little know the greatness of the men who led them in their struggle for freedom, but to us of today those leaders are men of Providence, immortal Americans. And of all the leaders in that first crisis of this country's history, there is no other who has been called equal to him who has been named the Pounder of the Nation, the Father of his Country—George Washington. At a later time, when treason s hosts assailed the Union, great men came forth to do and to die in Freedom’s cause. The greatest of them all was the humblest, the plain, homely man of frontier birth, too little known and not enough appreciated by his fellow countrymen, the one whom we delight to hail as the Savior of the Union, Abraham Lincoln. Then the third crisis came, and without the intent or knowledge of the mass of the people there was at the helm of state a man whose clearness of vision, soundness of judgment, unfaltering patience and devotion to duty created a united people and led them to champion Democracy for the World. We may not recognize his worth nor appreciate his greatness, but we may safely leave to the historian a true appraisal of the character and value of Woodrow Wilson. A high moral character, a sensitive appreciation of right, and an unflinching conviction against wrong were his inheritance. A great love for learning and an unbounded admiration for the master writers gave him opportunity for development. An early maturity fostered convictions that were later confirmed and that guided him through life. An intense study of the works of great orators, and youthful practice in the art of speaking gave him mastery of an eloquence that later caught and held the attention, not only of his own people, but of all the people of the earth. He was a writer. His writings show a vigorous and comprehending mind, fine literary culture, high ideals, and a broad, sympatheic humanity, but he was destined for leadership in other fields than literature. As President of Princeton University and as Governor of New Jersey, he served an apprenticeship fitting him to lead the nation in its hour of direst need. He inspired in the college students a desire to be more than mere bread winners. He taught them It is free capital of the mind the world stands most in need of—this free capita] that awaits investment in undertakings, spiritual as well as material, which advance the race and help all men to a better life. However, his high ideals and progressive reforms were not to be limited to the field of education. For two years the politics and the legislation of the state of New Jersey felt his power and personality as Governor. Fie was the scholar in politics. come to clear up the wreckage of ward bosses and financial interests. When he was nominated, he gave his conception of duty and purpose when he said, I did not seek this nomination. 1 t� A ; E K IXETY- T VV O The Periscope have made no pledges, no promises. ! am absolutely free to serve you with all singleness of purpose.' As governor of New Jersey, he gave convincing proof of the sincerity and the depth of his convinction and his purpose. I hat gang of scheming politicians and political bosses that elected him to office met their defeat at his election. His administration will always be remembered as one that drove out demagogues and brought forth progressive legislation. By his deeds he won the loyalty and support of all classes. He yielded his leadership in the state only when called to greater service. Elected to the Presidency in 191 2, he entered upon an administration filled with complcxing problems. For twenty years the democratic party had been the party of opposition. With the election of Woodrow Wilson, it became the party of power and responsibility. President and party were subjected to closest scrutiny and most merciless criticism. But the new executive, rising above all criticisms and attacks, devoted himself to his duty, and not without avail. The tariff was reduced, our currency system reformed, the Federal Reserve Bank system established, corporations and corporation policies were brought under better governmental control. All signs indicated a period of prosperity, when out of Europe came the thunder of war, with militaristic autocracy challenging the democracy of the world. Our President, a pacifist by nature and conviction, elected to lead us through a period of peace and national growth, found himself confronted by a foreign menace. The safeguarding of American principles and our ideals of democracy allowed scant choice of action. Bound by tradition and teachings. America must be kept out of European entanglements. So long as it was a European quarrel. America must not intervene. But American sympathy was hard to control, and American sympathy was divided. Ten million Americans of German descent sympathized with Germany. while other millions, friends of France, allowed their sympathies to go where their friendship was. When some men began to see in the war a threat to democracy, other men declared that the Atlantic was our surest guard. America became a seething cauldron of conflicting sympathies, and through it all the President devoted his efforts to steering the Ship of State as nearly as might be through neutral waters, determined to be neutral in fact as well as in name. Hiding his personal feelings, he devoted himself to his duty until his people came to a realization that democracy was at stake, that victory for autocracy would imperil America. Convinced against his will that America must enter the war. sensing the precise moment when the people were ready to act, Woodrow Wilson laid his case before the representatives of the people, and America went into battle for humanity. We need not tell the story of the war. Autocracy went down to defeat. Then, with a vision that went above a war-torn world into the realms of prophecy. Woodrow Wilson took up the task of leading America out of itself into world relationships, such relationships as would, he believed, make forever exceedingly difficult if not impossible another war such as the one that had just staggered humanity. Taxing his already over-exerted energy to greater limits, bringing into play his personality, his clearness of reasoning, his splendid judgment, and his masterly eloquence. he led the nations of the world to see his vision and to accept it, and the League of Nations was born. Grievances were, henceforth, to be settled by collective reason, and not by sacrificing the lives of millions of the flower of the earth. Then he turned to his fellow citizens to lead them to see this new world, only to meet unexpected and determined opposition and criticism. Tradition and prejudice would not allow them to follow !• A i B XIKETY.TUR F. F. The Periscope p- him and the nations of the world to the mountain tops to see this new vision. The disappointment broke the weak cord of life that remained to him and caused his death. Woodrow Wilson was a pioneer, an idealist, a prophetic leader whom timid politicians feared to follow. It was his to tread life's path, a dreamer, misunderstood by those about him. He was criticised, abused, maligned. But the ages are his. They will justify his years on earth. Washington was the Father of his country, constructing a nation on foundations that Adams and Hancock and Franklin helped to build. Lincoln was the Savior of the Union, a Union with freedom, proclaimed by Lovejoy and Phillips and Beecher. Woodrow Wilson dreamed a dream of a world united in one great brotherhood, a world of universal peace. His dream out-reached the age in which he lived, but his dream will never die, and generations yet to come will name him patriot, soldier, statesman, world-leader. one of history's noblemen. He pasaeth to his rest Bearing upon hit breast A soldier's scar; High purposed soul ot war. And when the strife was o'er Hope's brightest star! Yet still above his shrine The star of hope shall shine And point tne way, And to his mortal urn The world shall yet return And homage pay!” PAGE N INETY-FOUR The Periscope PAGE N I X E T Y - F I V E The Periscope The Spectator “The Spectator’ for the school year of I 92 3-24 has the honor of being the first volume of any newspaper published by the Eau Claire State Normal School. From the first, the policy of those in charge of the paper has been to make it one of the best of school papers, and as nearly like a real newspaper as possible. What success this effort has met with may be beet summarized in a statement which appeared in the Milwaukee Sentinel, to this effect: A copy of the ‘Spectator.’ school paper of the Eau Claire Normal, has been received. It is a newcomer in the field of school journalism: and. incidentally, is one of the best in the state. ' “The Spectator was started in the early part of October, 1923, largely through the efforts of Joseph H. Walsh, class of ’24. The paper was finally launched on the journalistic sea on Wednesday. October 24. Its christening was the last step; and the name of The Spectator was chosen because it gave a correct idea of a school paper, and because it was far superior to some catchy but flippant name which might have been the cause of loss of good advertising. By popular election of the student body, the business manager and the editor were chosen. Joseph If. Walsh was selected to be the first business manager; and Clarence imislund was given the job of editor. Through them the staff was selected. I he editorial policy of The Spectator was stated in an editorial in the first issue. Our purpose will be to spread all rchool activities to all the students, to let other schools know what we are doing and to give our own students a glimpse of activities taking place in other Normals. . . Our ideal is to make a useful, cheerful, inspirational school paper for every one. JOSEPH WALSH CLARENCE IMISLUND HAROLD RAY Gen. Business Manager Editor Business Manager A (i K N IN ETV-SIX The Periscope The early issues fell largely on the shoulders of the editor, but as the weeks went by. and more experience was gained, the staff in general came to work more and more efficiently, taking upon itself all its own responsibilities. No paper can be very successful which is the product of but one person, for it soon grows stale with the constant repitition of the same personality. The success of the Spectator attests to the fact that it has been a paper produced by the joint efforts of all. I his means, too. the heartening co-operation of the student-body, who have at all times been willing to do more than their share in helping the staff in its work. The efforts of the staff have been repaid by the gratification of seeing its work materialize every two weeks. If there is anything the school seems to combine on, it is the school paper. The success of its first year tempts us to predict for it a continued succession of successful seasons, for the value of a school paper has been apparent ever since the advent of The Spectator. Th members of the editorial staff for this year were: Clarence Imis-lund, William Gavin, Esther Jacobson. Elisabeth Murray. Beatrice Olin, Robert Stokes, Alvin Lightfoot, Ned Fleming, Lawrence Kopplin. Edward Davey, and Marion Lindcrman. The business staff was made up of Joseph H. Walsh, general business manager both of The Spectator and The Periscope. and Harold Ray, business manager. Mr. Murray and Mr. Slagg were faculty advisors.

It's true some look as thought they aren't of Irish descent; but as long as they would like to be. that is all that is necessary. Green carnations, place cards, and pipes are among the clever table decorations. “Bill ' Gavin, the toastmaster, also gives some of his Irish songs; Miss Geraldine Fleming plays some Irish songs; Don Walsh tells of the life of Saint Patrick; and Mr. Murray gives an interesting resume of the drama of the Irish Renaissance. Then all who wish, tell Irish jokes, as no party is a success without them. Patricia Culver concludes the program with several little Irish dances. COMING EVENTS May—Y. W. C. A.

A TESTIMONIAL Frederick Brady— When I came here I hadn't the strength to utter a word. I had scarcely a hair on my head. I couldn’t walk across the room. I had to be lifted from my bed. ’’Well! Weill Well!” exclaimed Hank Langdell; this must be a healthy place. How long have you been here?” Brady—”1 was born here.” THE CAUSE OF THE PULL A small motor boat turned turtle a mile or so outside the harbor, and its two occupants had a tough time swimming ashore. As they lay puffing on the sand, one said: My gosh, but that was hard work. I never thought I'd make it against the pull of the tide.” Tide nothing. returned the other. ”1 had the launch fastened to that emergency rope you wear around your waist, all the time.” THOROUGHLY ACQUAINTED Mr. Murray—Daughter, is that young man of yours well educated? Is he at all familiar with Shakespeare? Elisabeth—Why, of course, dad. He always calls Shakespeare, •Willie.” THINK IT OVER Phil—Keith says the world owes him a living. Anne—I wonder—and he says 1 am all the world to him. TOO MUCH OF A STRAIN John—Don't you think you could ever learn to love me? Emily—No. I never did like to study hard.

Some girls use dumbclls to get color in their cheeks; others use color on their cheeks to get 'dumbclls.” Mr. Murray—Why were you late, Mr. Chichester? Chi.—Miss Ryan held me. Mr. Donaldson—My son, the only way to learn anything is to start from the bottom. Charles—But dad, how about swimming? Teacher—What became of the swine that had the evil spirit cast into them? Bright Student—They made them into deviled ham. Just what did Mr. Ames mean when he said: Will those now seated in the rear of the room please take the more vacant seats in front?” Ludy—If I were to fight with Jack Dempsey, 1 should call him opportunity. Brink—Why call him that? Ludy—Because he knocks but once. He saw her stepping from a car, And up to her he sped— May I not help you to alight?” I do not smoke,” she said.

Chichester—Bring the gentleman around and let me see him. “HE AND SHE STUFF Miss Oxby—John, what are the two genders? John—Masculine and feminine. The masculine is divided into temperate and intemperate and the feminine into frigid and torrid. Mugs—Hello. Mutt, going my way? He—Righto. Where ya goin? Brady—Yes, she is a M. D., now. Farr—Why, I never knew she studied medicine. Brady—She didn’t, she’s a Marathon dancer. Bill Denham—Women are peculiar; you've got to handle them with gloves. J. Gunderson—Yes, with boxing gloves.

What are you taking at Normal. Art? Bartlett—Assembly and dinner. As I sat pursuing my English, Scarce able to keep awake, I asked myself this question, Why this subject did I take? For Oxby is one of those teachers. Who is as hard as hard can be; She has flunked nine-tenths of my classmates And I fear she is flunking me. Our impression of a dumb-bell is the lad who thinks a hamlet is a part of a pig. DIPLOMACY Frances—Could you love a girl like me? Francis—Yes, darling, with all my heart.

This success depends on two things. By the manner in which the editorial matter or the body of the book is accepted, and by the final outcome of tho financial end. The financial end again depends on or is supported by two pillars, subscriptions and advertising. The latter is the more important, subscriptions being secured by arousing the interest of the student body while the merchant requires a dollars and cents argument when approached for an “ad.” For the past few years the managers of the Periscope havo been endeavoring to change the generally accepted notion that annual advertising is a donation. New ideas have been set forth and added or discarded. This year we have used the same high grade paper, inks and decorative borders throughout the book including the “ad” section. We have interspersed among the ads” much humor, have continued stories from the body of the book and pages of snapshots and interesting cartoons. These together with attractively set and neatly bordered “ads” and a complete and comprehensive classified index makes an advertising section that is easily and widely read. In our efforts to carry out this plan we hnvc gone still further. Mimeograph copies of the list of students attending this school have been kept on hand and given to the advertiser if he desired one, for his personal mailing list. A copy of the classified index to advertisers was posted in the school announcement cabinet and another published in our bi-weekly paper, “The Spectator. By word of mouth much persuasion has been brough to bear in favor of our advertisers. This movement has been assisted to a large extent by suggestions from our advertisers, which suggestions we trust will continue to come in. It is our hope that our efforts have not been of no avail and that the merchant, whether large wholesaler or retailer, will realize in Periscope Advertising a medium whereby he can increase his business. To the merchants who advertise with us this year we extend our most sincere thanks and wishes for prosperity. Jos. H. Walsh, General Business Manager, Periscope.” ’23-'24. P A i; K O K F.

She was beautiful, clever, adorable, divine. 1 told her so. My obvious sincerity convinced her of the essential truth of my protestations. The realization came that with all these attributes she was worthy of much more than 1 could offer. A man by the name of Charles supplanted me. He told her that she was ugly, deformed, stupid, repulsive. She became alarmed at the loss of her powers and begged that he marry her. But such, Saint Peter tells me, is the way of women. —Tiger.
