KATHARINE RYAN Supervisor of Practice PETER J. SMITH, Regent . s k$ P J$$m0limi i.w|i|i 0.v- V5: i.Y i :' v?•'. ALVIN THOMPSON H. S. T. AVERAGE, 93.7 Cum Ictudc should he inscribed on Alvin Thompson’s diploma this June. He has one of the finest intellects I have ever observed in my classes”, an Eau Claire Teachers’ College instructor said of him. During his three years here, Alvin has made a record as a sterling debater. For three years he has belonged to debate teams representing Eau Claire in the triangle with Superior and River Falls. This year, he was a contestant in the local final oratorical contest. His extra-curricular activities have also included memberships on this year’s All-School Carnival Committee and this year’s State Oratorical General Committee, as well as the Presidency of the State Oratorical Association and the Senate, and membership in the Crusaders and this year’s Football Squad. His major is science; his minor, mathematics. His home is Eau Claire. LORAINE JOST H. S. T. AVERAGE, 93.7 Some scholastic achievement test will have to be devised to settle whether Alvin Thompson or Lorainc Jost should be awarded the palm of supremacy. They have the same average, 93.7, and head the list of honors seniors this Commencement. Lorainc has been President of the Senate and a member of the Kodowapas, the Student Council, and the Newman Club. She was Student Chairman of the 1926 May Party, and Secretary-Treasurer of the H. H. H. Club. She is Joint Editor of the 1927 Periscope, a most difficult position, filled by her with credit to herself. Her popularity is perennial; not, of course, because she is a leader in scholarship, but because she is unselfish, generous, sunny-natured, and democratic. Her majors are history and social science; her minors, mathematics and science. She lives in Eau Claire. Page Nine DOLORAS EVANS H. S. T. AVERAGE, 93.5 Doloras is one of the gifted Evans sisters, who have won their way to the top rungs of the Eau Claire Teachers’ College scholarship ladder. They achieved similar fame in high school, where their names are still a tradition that inspires talented and ambitious girls to achieve scholastic success. She is as dependable as a chronometer and as accurate as a jeweler’s scales. She knows things with exactness, and possesses, in well-classified order, a very respectable body of mathematical and historical lore. Her knowledge of literature is considerable; yet, with all her brains, she persistently hides her light under a bushel. She is a member of the Student Council and the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Doloras’ major is history; her minor, mathematics. Eleva is her home address. SYLVIA EVANS H. S. T. AVERAGE, 93.1 Sylvia is the other Evans sister. If there are any more equally capable Evans sisters, don’t permit them to be wasted on River Falls or Stevens Point or Superior. Let them shine here! Now Sylvia has a fine intellect, unlimited enthusiasm, good common sense, and refreshing originality. She has written some meritorious verse. Her capacity for work is astonishing; for not only does she have a reputation for scholarship but also a record for student activities. She has been a member of the Y. V. C. A. Cabinet, belongs to Kodowapa, the Girls’ Glee Club, and the H. H. H., has been President of the Juniors and is now Treasurer of the Seniors. As Circulation Manager of this year’s Spectator she has made a notable success. Sylvia has two majors, history and English; and a minor, social science. Pdgc Ten MILDRED MILLS H. S. T. AVERAGE, 91.5 Reliable, incapable of anything less than loyalty; possessed of womanly poise and dignity, and as stately as most queens; unassuming, intelligent, quite worthwhile— these are some of the qualities that make Mildred Mills an honor to the honors section of this book. She is a member of the Senate, and has been its president. In oratory and debate and as a member of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, she has been active. Last year she represented the Eau Claire Teachers’ College Y. W. at the Lake Geneva Conference. She belongs to the Kodowapas and the H. H. H. Club, and is a member of the 1927 Periscope staff. This, one must admit, is a very respectable list of student activities for anyone who has also made a good scholarship record. Her majors are history and English. She lives in Eau Claire. HELEN HARTUNG GRAMMAR GRADES AVERAGE, 91.3 It seems that High School Teachers’ Course students would have made a grand slam’’ had Helen Hartung decided to cast her lot with any other school. But she didn’t. She is a very unassuming young woman, and has not spent a great deal of time in the limelight, while here. Apparently her chief aim has been to stand well scholastically at graduation time. She will. Helen might have shone in student activities, but she chose to indentify herself with only the Newman Club. Her friends are many. She seems to impress favorably everyone who comes in contact with her. She is the kind of student that makes teaching a pleasure. One of her friends said of her, Helen Hartung is reserved but congenial, modest but forceful, intellectual but good looking.” Her home is Arkansaw. Page Eleven LILA REDMOND H. S. T. AVERAGE, 89.8 Her voice is gentle and low; her manner, womanly and serene. Wherever she goes to teach, her pupils will love and respect her. She will live a useful life, for she will make many better and happier. The pleasant things just said of Lila Redmond may seem somewhat rhapsodic, and part is only prophecy; but the statement of what she is now is not exaggerated, and how the future will be may be known, in part, by what the present is. Her student activities have been confined to two organizations, the Kodowapas and the Y. W. C. A., both of which are comfortably proud of her; for she embodies pleasing calm and quiet intelligence, qualities that charm but do not excite. Lila has two majors, English and history; and a minor, social science. She lives in Eau Claire. VERNON GONGOLL H. S. T. AVERAGE, 89.7 Wherever Vernon Gongoll goes, he will, we think, help to refute the prevalent belief that college athletes, although frequently marvelous physical specimens, know little more than how to coordinate mind and muscles. He has a highly developed thought center. Ask him about the fourth dimension or the theory of relativity, and he will make a hundred-yard run for an intellectual touchdown. He understands ions and their whys and wherefores; he makes calculus his recreation. Vernon is versatile enough to be a member of the Glee Club, and popular enough to have been elected to the Student Council. He is also a member of the Crusaders, the Letter Club, and the R. S. W. C., and has played two years on the football and the basketball teams. Science is his major; mathematics, his minor. His home town is Altoona. Page Twelve PRESIDENT H. A. SCHOFIELD Page Fifteen C. J.

Ted Sather Beatrice Sturgeon Sylvia Evans Miss Kennedy Mr. Brewer Page T wenty-Five Milestones The Board of Wisconsin Normal School Regents, at a meeting held during the summer of 1926, authorized the Eau Claire State Normal school to offer, after September 1, 1926, Four-Year Courses for Junior High School and other elementary school teachers, leading to the B. Ed., or Bachelor of Education, degree, and to grant this degree this year to regularly enrolled students successfully completing any of these courses. The Board of Regents further authorized this school to offer, after September 1, 1927, Four-Year Courses for Senior High School Teachers, leading to the same degree, and also provided that, from the date just mentioned, the school should be officially known as the Eau Claire State Teachers’ College. In pursuance of these authorizations, the local school has offered, this year, Degree Courses for Junior High School Teachers, eventually will offer Degree Courses for Teachers of the Grades below the Junior High School, and next year, similar Courses for Senior High School Teachers. Two-Year Diploma Courses for elementary teachers of grades below the Junior High School will be continued. The 1927 Periscope therefore has the pleasant duty of recording the approaching graduation of students, seven of them, who, cither in June or at the close of the approaching summer school, will be granted the B. Ed. degree. We believe that they will be the first of thousands who. in the years to come, will be given this high endorsement by the Eau Claire State Teachers’ College.

Page Fifty-T wo The Alumni Another year has passed in the history of our school, and some seventy members of the class of 1926 have taken their places in the ranks of that great army of service, the teaching profession, joining that rapidly growing number who are winning their way upward under the banner of their alma mater. Graduates of Eau Claire have been highly successful, out in the field, and have always looked with gratitude to the institution that gave them their training. Thus we have always had a strong Alumni Association, with members constantly looking to the best interests of their school.

Still in unwearied radiance shines in the Northland. Streamers of golden light, on the deep-watered, glistening fiord, Shimmer in shifting colors: bronze, silver, purple, and azure; Touch the tops of slumbering hills with deep voilct Mottled with red, like fairy bonfires burning. The midnight sun is a changing scene, and only for moments Stay the clouds thus, ’till with splendor undimmed, Violet and red melt in shades of delicate lilac. Winged by two clouds, palest green, with fringes of primrose: Gossamer clouds, like the dragon-fly’s wings; And between them the gold shield of the sun Shines in growing brilliance each moment. This is the hour before dawn, and the sun, Melting the cold, weird colors of the sky. Dims their beauty with his own greater radiance. Now he reigns alone, as the storied kings of old Eclipsed those who came before them; And in splendid, unconquerable glory. Glows ever brighter, with none to question his power. Sylvia Evans ALONE The radio is waiting For a hand to turn the dial; The phonograph is longing Just to entertain awhile. The streets without are crowded; I can hear the steady drone Of people passing by me, Yet, I’m alone. I am alone, so lonely, For I cannot meet the throng; I dream about a vision— A memory that is gone. I see her as I’m thinking, Though I hear the steady drone Of crowds thar wait to help me, Yet, I’m alone. My dog sticks up his muzzle For its master’s gentle hand; Then claws my knee, rebuking, For he cannot understand. I sit here ever dreaming— I can hear the steady drone Of crowds I know are waiting. Yet, I’m alone. Alone with just a memory; Alone with just a sigh; Alone with thoughts that haunt me And refuse to ever die. Without are other friendships, Yet I hear the steady drone Of crowds that tramp on by me, Alone—Alone—Alone. T. D. Page Eighty-Three THE PATH (second prize) The house is forsaken; it stands so forlorn. On the knoll just back of the wood. Its windows arc broken; its shingles are torn; For years it has desolate stood. To the right is a shed—see the axe still hangs In its place on the rough-hewn log wall. It rests there so quietly, but oh, how it rang, When splitting the logs in the fall. Every stick, every fiber seems wasting away; The traces of mankind are dead. All bur one little thing has changed with the day— The path from the house to the shed. See it running there now; vou know how I love it. That suggester of memories; the blue sky above it— The deep forest tempting—the birds’ song within it— The essence of fairies; you know how I love ir. Just pull back the weeds; Just gaze at the path: No mere growth of seeds Such strange power hath. Running along—no wind nor rain Can daunt the path to the shed; Waiting there staunchly and bold, Though other things long since are dead: My father, my mother, and ali of the line— Yes, all save me arc dead. You know what it means when all that are left Arc mvself and the path to the shed. Running along—not overgrown Nor yielding to wind and to rain. Time is invading—creeping along— But the path to the shed is the same. Ted Sarher VACATION DAYS Vacation days are long, long days. So sad and bleak and still; No people going by to school. No sliding on the hill. The school we love stands so alone, Forgotten for the day; No voices ring out through its halls; No work, no school, just play. Yet, here I sic with pen in hand; Perhaps I am a fool To waste a fine vacation thus, A-thinking just of school. No Shakespeare class, no theme to write, No outside work to ger; And still I sit here saying rhis, Vacation I regret . T. D. Page Eighty-Four FOUR-LEAF CLOVER I want you to enjoy the Eau Claire Teachers’ College as I do. The following incident may help you to appreciate it more. When in high school, I knew a boy who was much dissatisfied with life and who showed his assumed superiority by telling the rest of us all about it. He had been in a more cultured sphere, though where I had never found out definitely. He delighted to gather a group of the younger fellows around him, and tell them what he thought of the school. The basketball ream was all right, but you should have seen the one at the school he came from. The faculty was a dry outfit”. The parties were ’’rotten”. Girls? ’’Flat tires, every one of ’em . I didn’t like him, and nobody else did. We did not like the temperature of the water he threw on our spirits. In fact, I often wondered if he really liked himself. Now it seemed ro me rhat the school was a pretty fine place. True it was, our teams lost about half the games they played, but this facr made the victories all the more glorious. At any rate, the rest of us enjoyed the school, and we disliked him because he disturbed us in our ignorant bliss. I met him two years after graduarion, and I learned rhat he was attending a first-class university. He was more reserved than he had been in high school, and more unpopular. He was growing into a self-centered, cy nical man, and I could see failure for him in anyrhing he attempted where human contact was necessary . His conversation soon showed that he still had the same ideas that he had had in high school, only some of his old buoyancy and confidence was gone. I did not sec him for another year, and then I accidentally met him at a pleasure resort on one of Wisconsin’s finest lakes. He was just getting out of a shiny new motorboat, with another fellow and three girls. One of them looked very much like one of the girls he had said was ”a flat tire , when he was in high school. When he saw me he really seemed to be pleased. In facr he had come to life, gloriously and completely. He was genuinely happy and was almost an optimist. I joined the parry, and we finished a tip-top day together. I was anxious to get a chance to question him. At last when the picnic was over, he suggested that we go to rhe same hotel. I said as we got ready for bed, You’ve changed some, John . He colored a little, and then replied, ”Yes, well. I’ll tell you—you’ll hear about it, anyway, I suppose—I got in a little mess over something I said up at the ”U” about the basketball ream, and the dean took me to task about it. We both said a lot, so I quit. I did a lot of thinking, and I came to a realization of what a cad I really was.” By that time we were in bed and had snapped out the light. Honestly”, he went on, vou don’t know how much happier I am; I don’t ever try to throw cold water, anymore.” Then he laughed. Gosh, I used to be a funny kid. Well”—he laughed again, rhe second time I had heard him laugh— let’s go to sleep. Good nighr!” For there before his own house door And spread the whole field over, Were growing fragrant bunches Of the long sought four-leaf clover.” Hubert Woods Page Eighty-Fire SPREADING SUNSHINE We must seek our joy in others, And smile when bidden to; We must help to scatter sunshine As thick as morning dew. For our cheer makes others happy, And our songs will make them gay; Our smiling faces can but keep Them smiling all the day. Then, when we pass through the shadows, Life will greet us with a word That will kindle hope celestial. By the mists of sorrow blurred. Darkest hours will fly like magic. Brighter ones will take their place; And the peace of hearts contented. Then will gladden every face. Glennie Todd GIRLS I joy to hear the old folks talk About the girls that used to be; Those super-girls that graced the world. In the good old days, you see. They were the girls so staid, demure— At least that’s what we’re told; They worked and studied night and day, And never were the least bit bold. And the girls to come: how can we know What these poor things will be? If all the prophecies come true. They’ll be a sorry sight to see. You’ll find the girl today is best: She’s capable and strong; She’ll be your all-around good friend, When everything goes wrong. She’s not afraid to do her bit To help the world along, With ever a smile upon her lips, And ever in her heart a song. Lucille O’Brien Page Eighty-Six BUS FRIENDS Toot! Toot! Here comes the bus! Where arc my books?” I made a dash for the street. Hold it for me,” came a voice from behind. Puff! Puff!” I reached the corner, as the green monster swerved up to the curb, a fellow-sufferer following close at my heels. Pay as you enter”, stared me in the face. T tried to keep my balance, as I hunted for rhar ticket. I put it in this book, someplace!” I often think the sign had better read, Pray as you enter!” I slumped down in the nearest seat, exhausted. All about me were other students busily engaged in conversation or hastily attempting to absorb a little eleventh-hour knowledge, for a first-period class. What’s that? Sounds like the Indian language. You don’t mean to tell me that that has any sense! It’s for American Lit?” Time you? What for? Oh, you’re learning an oration.” Talk about jerky! I’m surprised my head’s still here”. Watch out! You’re gonna fall.” Did you say there was room back there?” 1 looked at the speaker, who was short and fat. His glance was directed toward a barely visible seat next to me. Another occupied the greater part of it. I tried to slide over. Just then the bus swerved, and the man dropped unceremoniously into the seat. I felt squashed. What was that faint aroma being wafted to me? Who had his feet on the heater? They were my own! Careful! Thar’s my lunch,” came from the corner. 'A equals the greater number; W equals the smaller.” She did! You don’t mean it? Was the man good-looking?” I stretched my neck to hear, but someone gently bumped my head. What are we stopping for? O, this is Eau Claire. Who are getting on? Where will we put them?” A tram, as usual! We’ll never get to school, on time. It’s one of those pokey things, too. Just when I wanted to put that diagram on the board, before the class!” Someone wishes to get off. There, I can breathe now!” Pile out! Here’s the knowledge factory.” Don’t push me; I can walk on my own feet.” Low door!” Out at last! Another day had begun. Lillian Svctlik MAN Hamlet made some brilliant phrases; And he said among the rest, Frailty, thy name is woman”— Man is apt to think that besr. In the modem way of speaking, I shall add a line for Ham— Frailty, thy name is woman; Egotism, thine is man.” T. D. Page Eighty-Se TO J. W. T. A. Above your grave the bright-eyed daisies nod; A faded flag stirs in the gentle breeze; And the rustling voices of the trees Whisper your love of justice and of God. The cloud-born glory of the sunset now Fades into twilight, while the lake below Lies dreaming of where far-off rivers flow: All these your well-earned rest with peace endow. You of the kindly heart, you, too. must dream Of the old school days, of the lonely halls, Where now your quiet footstep never falls. Oh may our works your faith in us redeem. Yes, dream on content, for go where’er we will. The prompting of your love shall guide us still. C. A. M. MY MEMORIES A summer field where bluebells sway, Where violets welcome the month of May, Where the sandflower smiles in its faded blue, Bringing the breath of spring to you. ’Tis there I stray when my work is done— Where anemones nod in shady glades. Where the sedgegrass lifts its fluted blades. And ipomeas wake with the setting sun; Here where the brown-eyed Susans laugh. And forget-me-nots mirror the cloudless sky, Where the morning glory is born to bloom and die, On the vine that climbs some sylvan staff: ’Tis here that the weary heart finds rest— Where the flowers beckon from the mellow haze, Friends of the beautiful by-gone days, Bringing me hack what my life holds best. C. A. M. REQUIESCAT IN PACE (To A. B. C. D.) MDust thou art and to dust thou shalt return;” This is man’s part, no more for lesser breed Than for earth’s noblest. What means place or creed? We all death’s universal way must learn. And so, today, thy weary, silvered head Lies low, at rest. Thy soul, which showed the dawn So oft to sorrow-laden hearts, has gone To higher things. Men say that thou art dead; And yet the memory of thy cheery laugh. The magic power of thy eloquent tongue. Shall live w'ith us, who yet must dwell among Life’s shadows—still for us thy shepherd’s staff. What nobler prize could grace thy quiet bier? Earth is the better for thy being here. G A. M. Page Eighty-Eight Year In Athletics FOOTBALL The football season opened with a decided shortage in weight) a serious situation when the preponderance of weight became so noticeable in the other conference teams. But, what the team lacked in weight it made up in aggressiveness. There were no Ade” Olsons to make the attack upon the field and outthink the other team, bur there was the fight of Captain Billy” Lieske, whom few can beat as a line plunger; and the smash of Captain-elect Anderson, who will, without a doubt, bring out the best in every teammate on next season’s gridiron. Andy was not only there in the line, but could gain a yard at line-plunging, when the yard was needed, as he demonstrated in the Stout game. The team, as was said before, was light, and yet it outfought its opponents, with one exception. The tics with Superior and Stout were really victories for our team, outweighed as it was, fifteen to twenty pounds to a man. At center, Dickerson saw no peer; always, even, as in the last game, when he was so sick rhat he could hardly stand, he out-fought and out-tackled his opponent. The guard positions were held, one side by the Germans, the other by the Swedes—Schacht and Appleman, and Lindquist and Hanson. The tackle positions were well played by Anderson, Larson, and Nelson. The ends were lighters from way back. Anyone who saw the 1926 Stout game will always remember a brilliant trio, Clark, Gongoll, and Bill Raymond. They gave an exhibition of defense and offense worthy of any team; they were unafraid, heady and deadly. In the backfield were Captain Lieske and Artie Peterson, at quarter; Melz, Utcgaard, and McIntyre, at full; and Holum, Christianson, Hugh Raymond, and Ted Sather, at half. Sather was a new man to the game, but played real ball. Melz was a powerful man on both the defense and the offense, making a specialty of returning punts from kick-offs. BASKETBALL The basketball season opened without Eddie Dahl, Cap Larson, and Ade” Olson, all tried, expert players. To fill their shoes was a task, but Melz, Gongoll, and Milt” Larson did the job. Last year’s captain came back stronger than ever, and meant destruction to any defense this season, as records show. Captain Barkley, though small, made use of his speed, and, with Lefry , helped to make a powerful team. At center, Hawky , last year’s giant, proved the mainstay, with Waldal and Gongoll alternating. Schlumpf, a newcomer, showed up well and made great progress. As guards, Hugh Raymond, Alfred Zaeske, and Tom Howard made capable reserves, playing as well as the best, when the call came. The season, as a whole, was chiefly give-and-take, giving and raking by small margins. Every game was a fight. There is no doubt that the Scout game at Menomonie was the greatest ever seen in this section of the country. E. C. Gerber Page Ntnely-On Football THE SQUAD UTEGAARD, M. NELSON, SCHACHT, M.

Most of the other candidates were green, and two had never played football before. Besides being green, the men were exceptionally light, in fact were outweighed by every team they met during the season. However, due to Coach wErv” Gerber, a team was whipped into shape that outplayed the strong St. Cloud team, in the first game. The factors mentioned and the absence of Captain Billy” Lieske from the earlier games contributed to the rather poor showing Eau Claire made in the 1926 conference race. What the team lacked in experience and weight, was largely offset by fighting spirit. In the last two games of the season, the crowds present were treated to the best exhibitions ship team need it concede an edge. Statistically, the team doesn’t look so good, but on the field it was a pleasure to watch. In the last two games of the season, the crowds present were treated to the best exhibitions of football ever seen in Eau Claire. The 1926 team will go down in history as the lightest and one of the scrappiest football outfits that every wore the Blue and Gold. Page Ninety-Th THE GAMES ST. CLOUD, 3—EAU CLAIRE, 0 September 25 There Doubt as to whether Eau Claire’s exceptionally light squad would be able to hold its own with heavier opponents m the 1926 schedule, was dispelled after the first game of the season, at St. Cloud. The Minnesota collegians had a big advantage in weight, but in spite of this, the Blue and Gold led in first downs and in yards gained, and had possession of the ball during the greater part of the game. St. Cloud made a drop-kick in the last quarter, after getting in scoring distance of the goal as the result of a blocked punt. This was the first time a Minnesota school had ever defeated Eau Claire in football. A quarter back sneak, by Artie Peterson, for twenty-five yards, featured the game. ‘Toxic” Nelson, playing his first game of football, also showed up well at tackle. The absence of Captain Lteske was plainly felt. Coach Gerber had to shift his line-up several times, before a working combination could be found. EAU CLAIRE, 6—FORT SWELLING, 0 October 2 Here In the second game of rhe season, Eau Claire registered a 6 to 0 win over the husky soldiers from Fort Sneiling. The game was played at the Driving Park. The Blue and Gold players displayed nothing but straight football, but their game proved effective against their much heavier opponents. In the last quarter, Sarhcr intercepted a Fort Sneiling forward-pass and ran for a touchdown, the only score of the game. Anderson and Hawktnson played good games in the line, breaking up the Fort Sneiling offense time and again. RIVER FALLS, 20—EAU CLAIRE, 0 October 9 There Gerber’s warriors motored to River Falls for their first conference game, and played before a brg homecoming crowd. The familiar River Falls jinx was present rhroughour the game. Our midgets were outweighed twenry pounds to a man, and just couldn’t get going in rhe face of such odds. The Falls scored three trouchdowns and kicked goal twice, for a total of twenty points to our nothing. The playing of Dickerson and Parson” Clark against heavier men featured rhe game. Captain Lieske got into this game after a siege of illness, and did much to instill the old fight into rhe gang. We were outplayed but not outfought. It is a fact that River Falls’ state championship team was rhe only team met by Eau Claire that could be conceded an edge over rhe Blue and Gold. STEVENS POINT, 6—EAU CLAIRE, 0 October 16 There On October 16, Eau Claire was handed, for the first time in the history of the two schools, a defeat in football by Stevens Point. The game was a heart-breaker for our boys. After playing a brilliant game against odds, during the first three quarters, and holding the Pointers scoreless, the line failed to hold at rhe crucial point of the game, and the Poinr was Page Ninety-Four FOOTBALL LETTER MEN SATHFR CAPTAIN L1ESKE CAPTAIN-ELECT ANDERSON CLARK W. RAYMOND H. RAYMOND I Page Ninety-F able to make a touchdown. The score came as the result of the two blocked punts, Stevens Point falling on the ball back of the line after the second one. Captain Andy” Anderson played a great game at tackle, and, with Clark and Holum, starred for the Blue and Gold. Boone, Steveits Point’s big threat, was unable to show anything remarkable against us. SUPERIOR, 0—EAU CLAIRE, 0 October 23 Here We invited Coach Tubbs and his undefeated team here to help celebrate our annual homecoming day. Like the rest of the teams Eau Claire played this year, Superior had the decided advantage in weight. Eau Claire presented a tight defense and an improved offense, and outplayed Superior thrcughtcur the entire second half. In this period, Melz got away for what looked like a sure touchdown, but was downed after romping fifty yards behind beautiful interference. Eau Claire and Superior both began heaving passes in the last quarter, but all their attempts failed to bring a score. The game ended scoreless, but it was a real victory for Captain Billy” and his men. Clark, Melz, and Dickerson starred. STOUT, 0—EAU CLAIRE, 0 November 6 Here The Blue and Gold finished her 1926 season, November 6, battling Stout to the second scoreless tie of the season. While not being able to put over a counter, Eau Claire threatened Stout’s goal several times. In the first quarter, Eau Claire took advantage of a series of fumbles by Stout and drove the ball to the one-yard line, but was stopped. Again, in the third and fourth quarters, Eau Claire was within scoring distance, but lacked the necessary punch to put the ball over the line. Drop-kicks by Peterson, Holum, and Lieske failed, Artie’s missing by inches. Holum, who did the heavy work for the backfieid, together with the ends played bang-up football, and deserves special mention. The whole team displayed one of the snappiest brands of football ever seen in these parts. Stout was pretty lucky to take home a scoreless tie. This was the last game for several of the fellows, including Captain Lieske, Schachr, Lindquist, Nelson, Gongoll, Bill” Raymond, McIntyre, and Sather. They all showed the Eau Claire spirit, and fought hard for the school. Pdge Ninety-Six FOOTBALL LETTER MEN APPELMAN CHRISTIANSON DICKERSON GONGOLL MELZ LINDQUIST Page Ninety-Se FOOTBALL LETTER MEN M.

A number of veterans, led by Captain Penny” Barkley, made their appearance in the early workouts. The list included two former captains, Lefty” Hoehn and Ping” Brodie. However, the squad dwindled down, due to various reasons, and mid-season saw barely enough men out to make up two teams. Injuries also played havoc with the squad, so that its reserve power was greatly weakened. Nevertheless, Coach Gerber turned out a team that was feared by every team met, and by no conference team outclassed. THE GAMES EAU CLAIRE, 19—CARLETON, 51 December 7 There The first game of the season resulted in an overwhelming defeat at the hands of Carleton’s crack squad, at Northfield. The first half was closely contested, but rhe second period showed the superiority of Carleton’s veterans. Coach Gerber used the game to find an effective defensive combination, but rhe Minnesota team scored at will. Our team traveled by bus route, and did not arrive at Northfield until a short time before the game started. This fact, together with the fact that it was a new team playing against a veteran team of college championship caliber, helps explain the rather poor showing Eau Claire made. EAU CLAIRE, 38—WINONA, 12 December 10 There The boys invaded Minnesota territory for the second game of the season, when they defeated Winona Teachers College, at Winona, 38-12. The form displayed was most encouraging and quite made up for the rather poor showing against Carleton. Winona was outclassed from the beginning. Page One Hundred C EAU CLAIRE, 30—HIBBING, 35 December 15 Here Hibbing Junior College upset our gang in a closely contested game. Ohman, of Hibbing, displayed an accurate eye for the basket and garnered twenty-eight of his team’s thirty-six points. Eau Claire seemed unfortunate with her shots. Most of Hibbing’s shots were from past the foul line. EAU CLAIRE. 26-RIVER FALLS. 35 January 7 There Eau Claire lost her first conference game when she bowed to the strong River Falls ream, at River Falls. Both teams played mid-season ball, the game being hotly contested during both period . River Falls had the advantage of playing on the home floor, and was able to sink her shots. Hoehn was the only man on the Blue and Gold squad who was able to score frequently. River Falls presented a formidable line-up in Hunt. Bliss, Segerstomi, and Standish, of the last wear’s high school team that won second place in the state tourney. EAU CLAIRE. 27-STEVENS POINT, 22 January 15 Here Eau Claire scored its first conference victory, when the fast team from Stevens Point was defeated in our gvm. The first part of the game appeared ro be all Eau Claire’s, and gave evidence of a walkaway; however, the Pointers got busy in the last ten minutes and made things extremely interesting for the Blue and Gold. Boone, Stevens Point’s acc, played a pretty game. The Blue and Gold’s defense proved effective in stopping the rushes of her opponents, but the passing was ragged and prevented a higher score. EAU CLAIRE, 18-LA CROSSE. 25 January 22 There Eau Claire went down to La Crosse and played in one of the most thrilling games ever seen on the La Crosse floor. With the score 13-7 against them at the end of the first half, our boys came back and pivoted, dribbled, and passed all round their opponents, sweeping them off their feet, time and time again. With three minutes left, the score stood 18-15 in Eau Claire’s favor, La Crosse having made only rwo points in seventeen minutes of play. Then, as a La Crosse newspaper expressed it, in headlines, Thompson and Trepanitis make five sensational shots good; latter stars at guard”. Both men were guards and did not do any scoring until the last three minutes of play. Hawky”, our big boy, was the brightest star of the game; “Tubby” Hoehn, high point man. Penny”, Melr, and Waldal played good ball. EAU CLAIRE, 35—SUPERIOR. 34 February 4 Here Eau Claire defeared Superior in the closest game of the season. Our team rook a commanding lead in the first quarter of the game, but Superior, because of a wise substitution, made a spurt and brought the score ro 17-18, with Eau Claire leading, when the half ended. The second half was even more thrilling, Superior threatening all the time. The game ended 35-34, in favor of the Gold and Blue. Hawkinson and Barkley led the scoring, and played good floor games. The defense also seemed improved over that of previous contests. EAU CLAIRE, 25—RIVER FALLS, 28 February 11 Here Playing in the local high school gym, Eau Claire bowed to the state champs from River Page One Hundred Two The Basketeers — — BASKETBALL LETTER MEN MELZ HOEHN LARSON GONGOLL BARKLEY WALDAL HAWK1NSON Page One Hundred Thrt Falls, for the second time this season. The Eau Claire team started with a bang, and rang up seven points to the Falls one, during the first few minutes of play. However, River Falls came back strong and led at the half, 11-14. She continued to increase her lead, in the third quarter, while our boys were having tough luck with their shots and their free throws. Eau Claire came to life in the last few minutes of play, and ran up ten points; but this was not enough to overcome the Falls’ lead. The final score was 28-25. EAU CLAIRE, 29—SUPERIOR, 25 February 18 There Coach Gerber led his men up into the north woods for two games, with Superior and Hibbing. Superior was determined to reverse the defeat Eau Claire handed her in the game here; however, we gained an early lead, and maintained it to the end. The final score was 29-25. The guarding was close on both sides, but the calling of numerous fouls slowed up the game considerably. Hoehn led the scoring for Eau Claire. EAU CLAIRE, 25—HIBBING, 29 February 19 There The Superior score was reversed in the second game of the northern invasion, the defeat coming at the hands of Hibbing Junior College. Oilman, Hibbing’s phenomenal player, upheld his reputation as a point getter by garnering twenty points, thus being directly responsible for Eau Claire’s defeat. His shots were started from all over the floor; it was impossible to guard him effectively. The strenuous tussle with Superior, and the long trip, evidently affected the team, as rhe old pep” was plainly lacking. EAU CLAIRE, 36—STOUT, 33 February 26 There With a large number of roorers to back the team, the Blue and Gold invaded Stout, and emerged victorious from one of the fastest and most exciting games every witnessed on Stout’s floor. Eau Claire jumped into the lead at the start, but Stout crept up until she led by two points. The second half was almost a duplicate of the first, with the advantage reversed. Stout stepped out, piling up a big lead, which we were able to get close to at times but not to overtake until the last four minutes of play. Then the score was 33-32, Scout in the lead, with about a minute to play. At this juncture, Lefty” sank a pretty one, putting us one point in the lead. With about ten seconds left, Radke heaved the ball at Stout’s goal and missed it by inches. Then Penny” dribbled down the floor and shot from about the middle, just as the whistle blew, making the final score 36-33. Radke and Gudey were the stars of Coach Miller’s aggregation. ’’Lefty” and our two guards, Ray” Melz and Milt” Larson, starred for Eau Claire. EAU CLAIRE, 28—LA CROSSE, 26 March I Here The Blue and Gold avenged the defeat La Crosse handed her in rhe game ar La Crosse, by taking Tubby” Keeler’s squad into camp, 28-26. Eau Claire gained a commanding lead in the early part of the game and retained it; however, rhe downstaters threw a scare into the local bunch, when they succeeded in bringing their score from 18 up to 26, in the last quarter. The game was marked by frequent fouling and other rough play. Coach Gerber used several combinations during the contest to bolster up rhe offense, after the loss of Barkley and Waldal. Penny” injured his ankle during rhe game, and Waldal was unable to be in a suit, because of the injury he had sustained in the Stout game. Page One Hundred Four EAU CLAIRE, 26—STEVENS POINT, 29 March 4 There Eau Claire lost to Stevens Point by three points, in a game played in the Pointers5 crackerbox gym. The Eau Claire boys were handicapped by the smallness of the floor and were unable to get going in the first part of the game, the half ending 20-11, the Blue and Gold trailing. In the second half, Eau Claire outplayed her opponents, and added twelve to her score. Penny” Barkley was the big gun” for the Blue and Gold, scoring a majority of the points. EAU CLAIRE, 60—STOUT, 28 March 8 Here Eau Claire ended the season in a blaze of glory, when she defeated Stout in the Eau Claire High School gym, by the score of 60-28, the largest score run up in the conference during the entire season. Nevertheless, the game was hard-fought, the large tally being due to Eau Claire’s superior speed and accurate shooting. The first half ended with Eau Claire leading, 30-19. Eau Claire’s offense started the second period with a bang, scoring from the field, at will, and soon built up a comfortable lead. The crowd, which packed the gym, seemed immensely pleased, and when the score ran into the forties, clamored for fifty. Fifty was reached and a cry for sixty went up. Coach Gerber used all his men, during the game, but Stout was unable to stem the rush. Five seniors, Captain Barkley, Hoehn, Gongoll, Waldal, and Hawkinson, covered themselves with glory, in closing their athletic careers for the Blue and Gold. Stout was well represented by three-hundred rooters. SECOND STOUT GAME. HERE Page One Hundred Fi The W. A. A. MISS KENNEDY, PIERCE, WALSH. M. BOSS. GREEN, D. PAUL, MARTIN, E.

OLSON Page One Hundred Fourteen Events SEPTEMBER 13- 14 Oh back to school we're coming, with a rah-rah and a shout, To sign our brand new programs and kick the frosh about. Our schoolmates all are happy; our teachers greet us back, 17 As we get our ponderous volumes and set them on the rack. The men are out for football— Erv” is helping make them hot . Now we won’t say what he’s yelling, bur be sure it is a lot. 24 Today we heard a forest ranger tell us when to smoke and where. 25 Today St. Cloud sent up our first football into the air. 30 Tonight’s the night with sweetie—a mixer” ts the noise, A party by the faculty, to help the girls and boys Forget their school-day troubles and start the school year right, With lots of good enjoyment and a world of Eau Claire fight”. OCTOBER 2 The soldiers from Fort Snelling our football team did greet, And we sent them home dejected with an E. C. N. defeat. 7 Mr. Stein told us to put out the matches that we light. A pep” meeting, with Donaldson to do the thing up right; 9 But alas, for all our wishes—we were fighting all the same— But weight is might in football, and the Falls beat us that game. 14- 16 We were hosts to all the teachers from the schools and country roun’; And grads and other pedagogues were seen throughout the town. Now Stevens Poinr, to change the talc, a punt did by chance block, And we came home the losers, by a six to nothing sock. 21 We heard some music—it surely was a joy, When coming from the expert bow of Mr. Ernest Toy. 22 Pep” meeting—bon fire—snake dance, to make the day clear full Of vim and real excitement, a great surprise to pull. 23 Superior should have gone in and won the victory pie, But then we stuck our finger in, and made the score a tie. 27 The thrills of Spain we longed to know; that Miss Macdonald bore: The students heard a travelogue, filled with Spanish life galore. NOVEMBER 19 The Carnival, a great event, went off in Ringling style, With the barkers and their chatter calling nickels to the pile. 25 Vacation days are sweet, sweet days, when we go trooping home To gorge ourselves with turkey in the way they did in Rome. DECEMBER 1 The Rev. Dr. Whittles this morning did so well— About the deeds of lumberjacks did to the students tell. 3 Today we saw a playlet ’bout a dear departed” one; The actors were a riot, and we had a world of fun. 9-10 Dr. Wilson ralked on Indians. The Crusaders gave a ball. 16 The Goose Hangs High”, in fancy, bur hangs low about the hall, For soon the day, old Yuletide, will call us far away 22 On winds that sweep the snowdrifts—we are off for home today ! ! Page One Hundred Fijte JANUARY 4 The new year lies before us, awaiting what we do To show we’re loyal srudencs of the good old Gold and Blue. One month to do our cramming, and then the tests begin; That’s how we’ll know the pigeon-hole our teachers keep us in. We’re back to hear the speeches and all the assembly talk— About red Indian poetry, and life in every walk. We’re back to do some shouting and get a howling ’’rep” In the school that’s always yelling, and never lacks in pep”. The Falls gave us a trimming; hard luck trailed on our heels. We knew before 'bout winning, and now how losing feels. The boys were great in victory, and greater in defeat; I’ll bet they’ll be barbaric and all their rivals beat. 12 Superintendent Keller talked to us today. We are trying to be able to appreciate our school. And we see the way to do it is by the golden rule. 15 The Point came up to play us, but she lacked in getting points— We won the game of marbles, and she got stiffened joints. She had the scrap, we saw that; she had the real old fight, And when she started shooting, she gave us quite a fright. FEBRUARY 2 Bub” Thorson is our orator; that boy can spiel, I’ll say; He says he’ll keep on talking to keep the girls away; He says he’ll keep on talking, forever and a day. 5 Come on and try your verses upon a new school song; The contest is advancing right merrily along. We’re going to get some real ones to add to those we know; So take a pen and pencil, and all your talent show. 10 We had a peachy mixer”, by the R. S. W. Cs. They gave us dandy music and punch just as you please. 21 The Crusaders held their fun fest to bring the new boys in; With many pranks and jollities the happenings did begin— The boys that stood che ordeal lost all their pep and vim. MARCH 4 The Falls came here and downed us; they won it in a walk. Superior also beat us, though we did talk and calk. 11 What ho! we have some minstrels—the boys were all in black; Of songs and jigs and music they surely did not lack. The high school teams were visiting while they did play the game Of basketball in tournament—they laughed hard just the same. Eau Claire took home the pennant; the boys were pretty hot”, And when it comes to credit, why they deserve a lot. 25 The E Club’s entertaining the wild assembly throng; With jokes the halls are ringing, and every kind of song. Page One Hundred Sixteen APRIL 1 The programs fast were swinging; the Rural Club came first, 8 And then the Student Council, to quench our pleasure thirst. 22 The Model School was next in line, to go upon the stage; The boys and girls, they pleased us, and they were quite the rage. 29 The Senate pur the touches on the month of sport today, And now our April studies were so safely tucked away. One month now left to study, to get our minds in tune, Before the rests come raging in the busy month of June. MAY 1 May day is play day, the month of laughs and smiles. When students all go roaming and maidens show their wiles; 12 A gorgeous, beauteous party, a pageant and a dance— The joys were so o’erwhelming chat we were in a trance. With all the birds a-singing, we shed the golden rule; 20-31 For summer’s so entrancing that we hate to go to school; The shining trout are flashing and splashing in the brook— There’s only one that’s chosen above nature and a book. JUNE 2 At lasc they’re here, the test days, when we must write and write, And students bum the candle, far, far into the night. The tears are slowly forming in the Seniors knowing eyes; The light of expectation at leaving slowly dies. 9 One walk across the platform, with a sheepskin in our hand, And Seniors are transported into a distant land. We heave a sigh of sorrow, and we say, Oh my. Oh my!” And waving for the last time, we sadly say Goodbye.” JUNIOR-SENIOR GAME Page One Hundred Seventeen a , The Carnival The gala event of the year was the indoor carnival, given hy rhe student body and faculty, on the afternoon and evening oLNovember 19. All organizations participated, and helped to make the occasion the most elaborate fete that has been given at this school in a number of years. The affair was well advertised by colorful posters, demonstrative assembly programs, and good write-ups in the newspapers. Each club helped to boost its own act, thus assuring a full house for the coming event, fun for every person attending, and fulfillment of the hope that each organization would do its best toward earning as much money as possible, to aid in financing the sure oratorical contest, in March. An all-school committee, made up of one representative from each club, and five faculty members, had charge. The clubs represented were the Newman Club, the R. S. W. C., the Y. W. C. A., the Crusaders, the Rural Club, the Senate, rhe Kodowapas, the Student Council, the Letter Club, the W. A. A., the ’'Pep” Club, and the musical organizations. The Model School deserves a great deal of the credit, too, because it spent much of its rime and energy, helping td m.ibe. things work out fight. There was a continuous entertainment during the afternoon and evening; the Model School giving its performance in rhe afternoon, and the Normal, in the evening. In the afternoon, the Model School reigned supreme. Nine acts were presented: the Junior High Indian play; a folk dance; six Thanksgiving scenes; and a Fifth and Sixrh Grades play, “The Conscientious Turkey”. A dainty minuet was danced by the primary group; and an Indian dance, by older pupils. The program was closed by the singing of ’’America”. After rhe Model School show, a supper, given by rhe Newman Club, was served in the cafeteria. Few amateur performances start on time, but the evening show was an exception, for Mr. Gerber's tumblers appeared before the footlights, :n the assembly, promptly at eight o’clock. They proved to be very popular, and brought a round of applause. This act was followed by a Spanish tango, by Magdalyn Barron and Marian Linderman. It was artistically done; one could easily imagine himself in sunny Spain. Hawaii was next represented by ten girls dressed in native costumes. They proved that they could strum very melodious guitars. They also assisted Edward Davey, Joe Rude, and Stanley Raddatz, with some very choice hits of humor. The final act of the main show was a clog dance hy the versatile Orville Holum. Page One Hundred Eighteen THE TANGO After the main show, the side shows were thrown open, and carnival reigned supreme. In the gym, the Crusaders put on some real boxing. The Senate presented Camp 49”, color being supplied by picturesque cowboys and girls. The crossword puzzle stunt, put on by the musical organizations, deserves special note. The W. A. A. had a cleverly arranged picture gallery, which was well worth visiting. Just outside the door of the W. A. A. side show, the Y. W. C. A. girls sold hand-dressed lollipops, which went like hot cakes. And there was Little Elsie”, the fortune teller and mind reader. After everyone had sampled the root beer and eaten his quota of candy bars, the side shows were closed, and the rest of the evening was spent dancing in the gym. The floor previously had been roped off and the Y. W. had charged a nickel a dance; but, at ten o’clock, the floor was opened, at a flat rate of fifteen cents a person. After all bills were paid, it was found that a sum had been made that exceeded the committee’s wildest dreams. CROSSWORD CUT-UPS ’ Page One Hundred Nineteen Homecoming The homecoming celebration was a gala affair. It was heralded for weeks ahead, so that when the day came the entire school was on edge. Graduates often wonder, on returning, if the pep” the school used to have is still present. They found that the school is still very much alive. The day began with the Assembly program, Friday morning. By this time Ernie” had things started with a bang. Stunts”, speeches, and peppy” yells constituted the morning’s fun. All afternoon, a truck bore boxes of every size and shape to the campus, where, across the creek, the fuel was piled high, awaiting the torch. That evening yells and school songs rang out on the hillside sloping to the creek, and then the flames raged to the peak of the pile. So bright were the flames that the entire school was wreathed in a golden glow. As the fire burned low, everyone joined hands and began to snakedar.ee toward rhe business section. At every street crossing, the crowd paused for a few yells. The noisy chain swept on through the town, and then back to school for the party in the gym, a party probably betrer attended by alumni than any other ever held in rhe school. At nine-thirty the football boys were given a final cheer and sent home to bed, but with the studenr body the spirit” exhibited throughout the day continued far into the night. Saturday afternoon, another snakedance was started at the school. The band led the throng through town and ro the field. The game was of course the climax of the celebration. Superior had a highly praised team, one that outclassed us entirely in weight and experience. However, two days of pep” lud inspired the boys, and they were determined ro meet the heavier team and outplay it. The game was indeed exciting. Not a foot of ground, from one decorated goal-post to the other, was left unrrampled. Superior was held to a tie score, was, in fact, outplayed by the lighter Eau Claire eleven. A jubilee, not on the program, then followed. Cars, trucks, Fords, and McIntyre’s vehicle were seen on the streets, with shouting students draped upon them. Noise and color were everywhere. And thus ended an almost perfret day. THE BONFIRE Page One Hundred Twenty Debate DEBATE SQUAD HIGH APPELMAN THORSON C. HRYDER BARNES VANCE POIRIER H.

The affirmative team debated at Eau Claire, with Professor J. M. O’Neill of the University of Wisconsin, as judge; and the negative at Superior, with Professor Norman S. Dowd as judge. Mr. Thomson, the coach, chose the teams from a group of ten students. We hope that, next year, more students will try out for debate, and that Eau Claire will make a better record in debating. Page One Hundred Tnenty-Threc Oratory ORATORY SQUAD W. ANDERSON REICHERT CUNNINGHAM A. THOMPSON L. PEDERSON MILLS THORSON PRELIMINARIES Harold Thorson, a Senior in rhe High School Teachers’ Course, won the final preliminary oratorical contest, held in Mr. Thomson’s room, February 9. His oration was entitled '’A Plea for a New World Outlook”. The other conrestants and their orations were Alvin Thompson, '‘The Search for Truth”; and William Anderson, '’Philippine Independence”. The judges of the contest were the Reverend Mr. Clark 3nd the Reverend Mr. Hjortland, both of Eau Claire. The three contestants named above had been chosen at an elimination contest, held December 1. The other orators who took part in rhe elimination contest, and their orations were Mildred Mills. Progress of the Ages”; Louise Pederson, Crime”; Earl Cunningham. The New Freedom ; Raymond Panzer, Economic Status of the Farmer”. A NEW WORLD OUTLOOK HAROLD THORSON Extracts from Harold Thorson’s oration follow: As we pause to look back upon the achievements of the world, we marvel at the progress that has been fitade. In practically every field of endeavor man’s achievements have been astounding. In medi cine, the recent discovery of the anesthetic and the scientific study and understanding of anatomy have made possible the most complex of surgical operations. At the present time the most simple of these cute ailments which but a century ago meant certain death. In education, we have a system of schools that was undreamed of by our forefathers. Our higher institutions of learning have gone into spheres of thought and knowledge which were before unknown. In industry and business, a Page One Hundred Twenty-Four similar evolutionary growth has been noted. Our network of railroads, the development of the automobile; and great discoveries of science and advancements of modern machinery have revolutionized the age. Instead of imagining a bottomless gulf beyond the ocean’s horizon, we send our steamships across the seas of the world. Not only do we have great inventions for the work of land and sea, but wc have planes that soar like birds through the air. Likewise, forms of government have changed. It is hardly a decade ago since we witnessed the falling of the three oldest and most powerful dynasties of Europe, the Romanoffs of Russia, the Hapsburgs of Austria, and the Hohenzollems of Germany. Constitutional representative governments have replaced hereditary monarchies, throughout the world. In every field known to man striking achievements have been noted. Over against this splendid record of achievements and progress, there exists one institution that has attempted to shatter modern democracy at every opportunity, the institution of war. In early wars, only a few thousand men were actually engaged, and comparatively few of those were killed or wounded. But the World War engaged millions, and the casualties numbered millions. A staggering burden of taxes must be paid by coming generations. The debt of the World War reached the fabulous sum of two hundred fifty billion dollars. Ir is to the rhoughr of abolishing war that I would invite your attention. I have no sympathy for him who says, There has always been war and there always will be”. Columbus dared to think differently from those who said, If you dare to venture beyond the ocean’s horizon, vou will fall into a bottomless pit.” Today, rwo continents are monuments to Ins courage. Today, after centuries of war, we have come to realize that right is right, regardless of party. With this realization has come the court of justice, which now settles both individual and state differences. This solution is not without precedent, for we have only to look to the supreme court of the United Scares. Still vivid in our mind is the dispute which arose last year over the Wisconsin and Michigan boundary. This question was settled by our Supreme Court, in a hotly contested suit, but there was never the thought of war or of questioning the court’s decision, after it was rendered. If, then, the courts can settle disputes between the states, in America, why can they not settle disputes between the nations of the world? As to the plan, it matters nor whether you favor the League of Nations, the World Court, or the Hague Tribunal, but let us institute some authoritative group to which disputes may be submitted. Just as the courts of the United States settle disputes between Individuals and states, so ler some plan be devised for settling disputes for the enrire world. As to the need of controlling the agencies which declare war, we have only to point to the wars of rhe past. With a Hohenzollern, a Bismarck, or a Napoleon in complete power, it is self evident that peace is insecure. But this problem is not only confined to foreign countries as we in America are prone to think. Were we not plunged into the last world war by a president whom we re-elected on a platform in which the slogan was, He kept us out of the war”? Even today our Secretary of State is engaged in sending messages of antagonism and provoking utterances to defenseless Mexico and Nicaragua. This question has been kept before the eyes of Americans, since the beginning of rhe year, with the view of appealing to American sentiments, but without success. During this same period we find that the President and Secretary of State declared that there can be no arbitration in Nicaragua. Later wc find a contrary declaration from these same mouths. This instance makes it most evident that there is a need for changing responsibility. The place to begin is at home. When monarchs had complete power, wars were frequent. Under representative governments, they have become less frequent, for the representative must seek re-election through the masses who arc always opposed to war. Our aim therefore should be to promote peace for the benefit of the masses who have to fight the battles and pay the costs. As the three wise men from the east were guided by the Star, so ler the nations of the world establish an authoritative group whereby world disputes may be settled. Let us, as citizens of the world, refuse to be led into the expenditures of coming wars. As students of today and moulders of tomorrow’s theughr, let us lifr aloft the torch, and light the pathway to the goal of Christianity and civilization: Peace on earth, good will toward men”.

Cunningham, with the subject Product Quality and Its Control”, won the preliminary extempore speaking contest, held in Mr. Thomson's room, January 20. The other contestants and their topics were: Ted Sather, Production Control as a Means of Price Regulation” Henry Heyder, The Farm Bloc In Congress” Edward Nelson. Rural Education” The general topic for discussion was The Political-Economic Problems of the Midwestern Farmer’’. The topic was sub-divided into a number of smaller ones, from which each of the contestants chose two, Thursday morning, January 20. The topics chosen that afternoon were discussed, immediately afterward, at the contest, in which Cunningham won first place. At the state contest, held on March 18, Eau Claire’s representative did not place. OUR REPRESENTATIVE Earl Cunningham seems to be a versatile person. Never before having taken part in an extempore speech contest, he won the right to represent the school this year. In his high school days, at Niagara, Wisconsin, he took part in debate, and was president of the literary society, for two years. Cunningham is also something of an athlete, as he played basketball two years during his high school days at Niagara. He was captain of the team in 1922-23. He played left guard. He is a second-year Junior here, and will be graduated, next year, from the high school teachers’ course, with science as his major and fcARL CUNNINGHAM • • • mathematics, his minor. Besides being interested in forensics, he is also a member of the Senate and the Crusaders.

CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS The visitors who arrived Thursday morning, March 17, saw things that perhaps reminded them of housecleaning time, for everywhere students were flourishing dust cloths and brooms, giving the last touches to rhe rooms reserved for the guests. About ten o’clock the same morning everyone assembled in the auditorium, where a pep” meeting was held, Mr. Bridgman of the faculty presiding. Mildred Mills, Alvin Thompson, and Mr. Slagg of the faculty, each gave an interesting talk on state contests at which they had been present. Ernest Merrill led in several cheers, Sylvia Evans led in the singing of the school sang, and President Schofield closed the meeting with a few words. That evening, a dance, lasting until ten o’clock, was given for the guests. Everyone had a good rime, and Eau Claire hosts and hostesses felt that the success of the evening augured well for rhe day that was to follow. “STUNT” MORNING frank joswick Friday morning, March 18, at ten o’clock, the evenrs of the Srevens Point big day began. At this time, the extempore speakers assembled in the library to draw topics and to begin the preparation of their CARL KNUTSON Oshkosh Page One Hundred Twenty-Seven speeches, Co he delivered in rhe afternoon. At nine-thirty the annual business meeting was held and at ten o’clock the students and the faculties of the home and the visiting schools assembled in the auditorium. Lloyd Randall of Eau Claire introduced President Schofield, who gave the address of welcome. He was followed by Regent Peter J. Smith, of Eau Claire. President Gillette, of Superior, also spoke. Then followed short responses by representatives of each of the other schools, the main point in each speech being to thank Eau Claire for her hospitality. Ernest Merrill led in the cheers given for each visiting school, and Sylvia Evans led in the singing of the song of welcome, entitled Oratory”. The remainder of rhe rime was devored to the stunts , given by the various schools. At noon, luncheon was served to all the members of the nine Normal Schools present. The line of hungry people leading to the cafeteria was a long one; so, much time elapsed before the last ones could be served. AFTERNOON PROGRAM At the extempore speaking contest, in rhe afternoon. Arthur McNown, of Stevens Point, Vice-President of the Inter-Normal Forensic League, presided. The general topic for discussion was The Political and Economic Problems of the Midwesrem Farmer”. Interspersed through both contest programs were musical numbers. The afternoon program opened with selections by the Eau Claire orchestra, and songs by the Girls’ Quartet of Stevens Point and the Boys’ Quartet of Milwaukee. The other musical numbers of rhe afternoon were furnished by rhe Boys’ Glee Club and the Girls’ and Bovs’ Quartets of River Falls, the Boys’ Trio of Superior, and two violin duets, by two La Crosse young women. At six o’clock, the visiring faculty members were guests of rhe Eau Claire faculty, at a banquet at the Eau Claire Hotel.

Pdge One Hundred Twenty-Eight V STUNT” MORNING Page One Hundred Twenty-Nin contest, served as the chief diversion of the students, most of whom took advantage of the opportunity. Many thought the dancing ceased too. soon and no doubt this feeling was contributed to by the beautiful decorations, consisting of flowered Jattice work, and the soft lights of the Japanese lanterns. The oratorical contest in the evening was presided over by William Welter of La Crosse, president of the league. The program was opened with selections by the Oshkosh Girls’ Quartet and several violin duets by two La Crosse students. The musical numbers were arranged the same as in the afternoon, after every third speaker. These numbers were furnished by the Milwaukee Boys’ Glee Club, the Girls’ Glee Club of Superior, and the Boys’ Glee Club of River Falls. EVENING PROGRAM The evening program was closed with the presenrarion of the medals and the cups by Robert Connery. Donald Vetter, of Stevens Point, was awarded the cup for extempore speaking; and Marshall Norscng, of River Falls, the cup for oratory. The River Falls delegation sang a song in honor of their triumph, and the crowd dispersed. There were many handshakes and ’goodbyes”, and comments, such as I hope to see you again”, and I’ll meet you next year, at Oshkosh”, between members of the visiting schools and the home school. Everyone, hosts and hostesses as well as guests, was willing to swear to the fact that he had had a good time. THE GYMNASIUM Page One Hundred Thirty Dramatics Bernard Ingalls Eunice Ingalls Noel Derby Leo Day Rhoda Julia Murdock Mrs. Bradley (Grannie) Ralph Appelman Madge Wallace Alvin Thompson Ernest Merrill Emily Rickard Gladys Kelley Aimee Foster CAST Hugh Ingalls Ronald Murdock Lois Ingalls Bradley Ingalls Dagmar Carroll Eliot Kinberly Director Robert Dixon John Vinopal Isabelle Larson Neil Gonyea Helen Cleasby Charles Donaldson Mr. Thomson On December 16, the students of the Eau Claire Teachers' College presented 'The Goose Hangs High”. The play depicted the supposed irresponsibility of modern youth. The story is as follows: Bernard Ingalls is a hard-working father, who with his wife, Eunice, sacrifices everything in order that he may send his son and daughter to college. He is only a city assessor, with a small income, and is subjected to insults by Leo Day and Eliot Kinberly, crooks and controllers of the town’s politics. In order that he might keep his job, he has to endure rhe presence of the crude and vulgar Leo Dav in his heme, who wishes ro use Bernard Ingalls as a means of getting into society. The father is torn between the desire ro give up his job, thus freeing him from his ignominious position in the eyes of his friends and neighbors, and the desire to give his children a college education. It is at this point that Granny gives the keynote of the play, when she says, Believe me, their goose hangs high!” It so happens that the night that the twins return home for their vacations, he writes his resignation and gives it to his son, Brad, to mail. Instead of mailing it, he, in conference with his sister, and his elder brother, Hugh, opens the envelope and reads rhe resignation. The twins, who so far have shown themselves only frivolous and thoughtless, are now chagrined at the thought that they may have to give up school, and begin to think about their situation. They realize that they have taken everything'and given nothing in return, and decide that they will go Pdge One Hundred Thirty-One to work and Kelp their father. Then Granny, who has hitherto only criticized, comes to the rescue, and she and Hugh donare enough money to enable Bernard to start his pet nursery gardens, with his friend Noel Derby. The play ends happily, with complete understanding between the parents and their children established. A large and enthusiastic audience greeted the performance. The players and their direcror deserve much commendation. THE DEAR DEPARTED 'The Dear Departed” was the first dramatic production attempted by the school this year. It was presented before the Senate, November 17, and was received so enthusiastically that it was repeated in the Assembly, November 18. Much credit is due Mr. Thomson, who directed the play.

That is Personal Thrift! Bromidic as it may be, it is still a fact that without personal thrift, the gifts of genius, the rewards of intelligent effort, the wages of plodding may rcrurn bur a fraction of the enjoyment to the recipient that they should. How often you have heard it said, Iris nor what you earn but what you save that counts.” Nothing could be more certain than this. Often the one who has made great wealth in his time finds himself destitute at the last, while the less gifted friend carries on, saving a little here and a little there, to be rewarded by independence, comfort and peace of mind in his later years. If you would do a great service to those with whom you come in contact—teach thrift. Practice it in your daily life. Learn to appreciate its advantages through daily enjoyment of it. Study it as you might the history of the ages or the theory of light. You will find it a wonderful revelation—a miracle almost—because by it those who are born in want may rise to the heights of comfort and happiness through their practice of it. Personal thrift embodies more than the mere saving of money. It requires thrift of time, thrift of effort, thrift of thought, and thrift of money. Page One Hundred Sixty '=m Save time. Time is precious. You have but a small amount allotted to you at best. It may be much less than you think. Do today that which you would do for it is the only day you have. Save effort. Do not scatter your efforts to the four winds. Know what you want to do and concentrate. Save thought. That means thinking straight. Fear, worry—these are the children of scattered thought. If you get the facts about anything and think it through to a conclusion, feat and worry will have no place in your life. And last, but not least, practice thrift of money. Live within your income. Make each dollar do its best for you. Plan your finances so you can finance your plans. This bank is your friend. We are here to help you to get the most from your money. That may mean advice in spending it; it may mean a savings account to help you save it; it may mean suggestions on how to invest it.

The home, the community, the state and the nation—those cherished institutions of modern civilization are the result of this one thing,—man’s advancement in the business of living together. Civilization will progress only insofar as we advance in this direction. It demands the learning of certain things—the first, tolerance; then straight-rhinicing; then confidence; then co-operarion. As the leaders of the future, the instructors of the generations to come, your opportunities are clearly before you in the teaching of these ideals. They require the admission of another viewpoint; the demanding and consideration of facts before conclusions arc reached; the breeding of faitli and the destruction of those tendencies that would destroy it; and last, but not least, rhe encouragement of the helping hand in those enterprises which build up and develop good citizenry. There is need of education, of instruction in these ideals today. It is your privilege to lie the ones who may do it best. Confidence is failing in many directions partly through fear, partly through gossip, but mostly through ignorance. Page One Hundred Ninety C. H. BERGMAN CO.
