Member National Scholastic Press Association Eugene Alcott, Editor Phyllis Kelley, Associate Editor Signe Randen, Advertising Manager Betty Nielsen, Circulation Manager THE PERISCOPE ANNUAL PUBLICATION of the Eau Claire State Teachers’ College. Vol. 17, 1933 DEDICATION • r In recognition of the worthy i ari she has PLACED IN THE PROGRESS OF THE EaU CLAIRE State Teachers' College through her WORK IN THE CLASS ROOM AND HER INFLUENCE ON OUR COLLEGE LIFE. THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED to Miss Blanche James, A. M. Lb . ASS' Miss James mi 5 FOREWORD The Periscope staff has attempted to preserve IN THIS BOOK THE MOST NOTEWORTHY EVENTS OF THE COLLEGE YEAR. PICTURES OF THE SCENIC WALK ALONG HALF MOON LaKE AND PLEASANT POOLS IN LlTTLE NIAGARA STREAM HAVE BEEN USED AS THE THEME OF THIS ANNUAL. I come from haunts of coot and hern. I make a sudden sally. And sparkle out among the fern. To bu ker down a valley I steal by lawns ami grassy plots. I slide by hazel carers; I move the sweet jor-get-me-nots That grow or happy lovers. And here and there a foamy flake Upon me as I t rare I With many a silvery water break Upon the golden gravel. I wind about and in and out ith here a blossom sailing. And here and there u lusty trout. And here and there a grayling. I chatter, chatter ax I flow To join the brimming river. For men may come and men may go, But go on forever. RETROSPECT When evening comes, and memories of the past Drift back to us on fairv-filmy wings From the dim twilight of the vanished years. These pages will a richer meaning have; Recalled from the diverging ways of life Fre m restlessness of crowded city streets. From tropic jungle or the desert plain, From foreign lands, from lonely ocean graves, From dreamless sleep w here violets bloom In quiet churchyard on some sunlit hill, From beyond the walls built by greed and hate. By selfishness and sorrow', pain and sin, I Jnmarred bv the scroll of the years between. We here shall meet once more as on the day When first we turned these pictured pages through Musing then, when lighthearted youth has fied. On the dear old sch x l. on river and on ridge. We shall understand at last the debt we owe To those whose frequent thankless task it was To give us light to solve the maze of life! a. m.

Hie club throughout the year has joined with other sch x l organizations in the promotion of social and other activities. In all of their social affairs the Primary Club girls have reflected their originality and good taste in such ways as the selection of programs, amusements, decorations, and refreshments Perhaps this ability has accounted for the large attendance at the club parties The club has tried to make the membership fee as small as possible, so that no Primary (bourse student need be Kept out of the organization for financial reasons. Membership is entirely voluntary on the part of the students, but because of its great social opportunities and professional value, the club has a large membership.

Following the buffet supper on that occasion, the evening was spent in playing games and dancing The party was especially worthwhile because it enabled the new girls, that is. those enrolling for the first time at Teachers' College, to become acquainted with girls with whom they would be associated during the year to follow Elaine Adams Clara Albert Frances Alton Ethel Anderson Lucille Behrens Wilma Bcmis Marvel Benner Gretta Bennett Helen Bjerke Evelyn Bork MEMBERS Catherine Bouthilct Eula Bushncll Helen Brown Marian Brown L.ouella Brown Marjorie Brown Mabel Carlson Marjorie Conley Doris Davis l;cm I'Jerry Florence Dillon Eola Dinger Mrs. Inez Drake Lorraine Ehrhard Hilda Erdman Lucille Erickson Elizabeth Fox Sybil Gikling Ruth Goodermotc Mary Gough Sedona Gullicksrud Eva Hanlcv Ruth Hegge I lelcn I lanson I fclcn I iouser Josic Iverson Clara Janowicz Babcttc Jocrn Ruby Johnson Choral Johnson � ixty .fa - 6u_ Kmbmiller Joern Carlson Benner Oien I.

Assistant Slock- Football Season Concluding one of the most successful seasons in many vears, the Blue and Gold finished sixth in the State Conference, with two wins and two losses. After defeating Stout and winning from Stevens Point on a forfeit, the Zommcn were checked by Superior and River Fulls. Of the three non-conference games. Eau Claire won two by defeating St Paul Luther and Northland. but the team suffered its severest defeut of the season at the hands of Winona In answer to Coach Zorn's first call for men. more than fifty aspirants reported for practice To form the nucleus of the '32 grid machine there were eleven letter men from last year. Competition for the varsity, though, was so keen that these letter men were hard put to hold down their berths The position of center was the most difficult to fill at the beginning of the sca-s n. for there was no veteran candidate. After many tryouts. Sherman was selected for that position a place he filled very creditably during the entire season. In the building of his 1932 grid machine. Coach Zorn was assisted by Harry Jensen, ull-confcrcncc center with Eau Claire in 1930 and co-captain of last year’s squad, and Earl Zimmerman, all-conference center with Oshkosh in 1929 and 1931 The guards and tackles were under the tutelage of Jensen. Zimmerman devoted his time to the ends. Ceach Zorn's specialty was the backficld.

Eau Claire dispensed of its last non-conference opponent in a satisfactory manner Although Northland outpassed and out gained the Blue and Cold, she was always cheeked at decisive moments by the Eau Claire line. The second half was especially tense It was featured by showers of passes by Northland, a desperate stand by Eau Claire within its one-yard line, and u long Northland pass that looked like a touchdown but was ruled incomplete.

Simpson. At the top of the names of former athletes, according Mr Simpson, comes that of C larence IXibic Williams, who played both basketball and football for Eau Claire in 1919. He was a 'fighting fool', and he knew football from A to Z. That one man was as valuable as a whole backficld together. was Major Simpson's tribute to a great player. Williams ployed half back. Another name high on the list is that of Harold Red (Carroll who played football, as a quarterback and basketball for three years- 1920. ’21 '22 during which time, it is worthy of note. Eau Claire twice went undefeated during the entire football season Carroll is probably Eau Claire's mast valuable all-time athlete According to Mr. Simpson, the best full back wh ever played here was Wallace McKinney, who is closely pressed for that honor by Glen Dahl Adc Olson, who is now coach at Eau Claire Senior I fifth School, wus the most selfless player the school has known. Adc. who developed school spirit with capital letters, came close to being the ideal athlete, brilliant in his playing but consistently submerging his own glory for the benefit of the team and school Other former stars for Eau Claire, who have made successful c liches, include l-'rancis Thompson, who coached at Eall Creek; Harold Carroll, at Milwaukee Lincoln High. Marvin Pickles McMahon, at Dc LaSalle. Minneapolis, Jesse Jensen, at Elk Mound Leonard McMahon, at Mandan. North Dakota Red' Brown, who coached a state championship team in Montana; and Wayland Winter, at Grand Forks. North Dakota. Two men who played for Eau Claire in 1920. Ralph Gill and Kibo Brumm. later made the varsity ut the University of Wisconsin Wesley Leaper. the best end in the history of the school, also played on the University of Wisconsin team Ihc best kicker ever to punt the pigskin h:rc was Lyle Donovan, half hack, who consistently kicked fifty yards or more Markle Haight. tackle, and captain of this year's squad, is rated as probably the best player in recent years, and Glenn l cr-ouin and Harry Jensen have played outstanding games during the last four years. Art Olson, who was Eau Claire's best captain, and who is now coaching at Rice Lake, played every minute of every’ game except one. for three years. Ernie Merrill. 1926, was the best cheer leader ever to lead a cheer at E C T.C. All this according to Major Simpson The most spectacular game we ever played was against Superior, in 1923. said Mr. Simpson. Super- ior had a splendid team, and defeated North Dakota State, the University of North Dakota. St. Thomas, among others Eau Claire went out against a team that was superior in most departments of play. Eau Claire scored a touchdown by getting all eleven men to execute their individual assignments of a trick play Ihc game was apparently won with six more points made with two drop-kicks from the forty-yard line by Pickles McMahon However, the weight and speed of Superior told at the opening of the second half, and Superior ground out a second touchdown. with a minute or two left to play. Eau Claire then elected to receive the kick off Dahl brought the ball back fifty yards. On the next two plays, forward passing took the ball to Superior s thirty-yard line, and Eau Claire took time out Less than half a minute remained to play, and the score was against us 14 to 13. Little McMahon then dropped back to the forty-yard line, called a signal, and sent a beautiful drop-kick squarely between the posts, thus giving Eau Claire a victory over a team considered the best in the northwest The best team I ever coached was that of 1920, and the most really good fun in coaching was afforded me by the team of 1921. continued Mr. Simpson who was football c.aich at Eau Claire State Teachers' College from 1919 to 1929 inclusive l earns change from year to year. lie said, and new- trends in sports gradually bee me visible to the experienced eye that has had the advantage of viewing one spirt for several years. One of the most noticeable differences between the teams of today and those of a few years ago is the number of men who come out for practice I remember one year when we had only thirteen men out for football, and it was no uncommon thing for at least nine men to play through an entire game Substitution was used only as a necessity, in case of injury. Often the same five men played through an entire basketball game. “This school has not done a great deal with its talent in track and other spring spirts. Track is unique among spirts because it offers an opportunity for an individual to distinguish himself, w ith no chance of relying on the strength of his team mates, nor of being handicapped by their weaknesses. In this field. Eau Claire has a great future once it starts developing its pissibilities along this line Scholastically, the athlete of today has a decided edge on the player of former years, according to Mr. Simpson, who finds that as fur as his geography classes arc concerned, the athletes arc in at least the upper third of the cluss ITic old idea that athletic prowess went hand in hand with inability in the classroom is becoming outmoded in the face of convincing proof to the contrary. In fact. Mr Simpson believes that the athlete at Eau Claire has a future that can be quite rosy, both scholastically and athletically speaking. —— sixfy-ninc FIRST TEAM Rcinhard. Manager. I lamcman.

Kottke BASKETBALL SEASON Alt hough showing slightly better than last year, the Blue und Gold did not have a particularly bright season In the fourteen games played, nine conference und five non-confcrencc. Eau Claire won one conference and two non-conicrcncc victories. Lack of stature and experience were two of the most potent factors against the Zorn men. In all of the conference games except the one with Milwaukee, the Blue and Gold was handicapped by the superior height of opponents Nine of the fourteen men composing the first team experienced their first year of college basketball this season. Six of these were Freshmen Captain Nelson was the only three-year man on the Blue and Gold quintet. The loss of two men after the season was well started was a staggering blow to the Zornmen, Griswold. Eau Claire's foremost eager, with an average of more than ten points per game this season, was de- clared scholastically ineligible after the first semester examinations I lendrickson. a coming forward was also dropped for the same reason. In November, at Coach Zorn s call, a squad of about forty men reported for practice. This group wus soon divided, fourteen men constituting the first squad and the remainder forming the ”B team The first team was built around a nucleus of four veterans: (Captain Nelson, guard. Griswold, center; Burkart. forward; and Kottke. guard This season all home games were played at the college instead of in the high school gym. which has been used in past years. As Art Nelson is the only graduating member of the team, the Blue and Gold looks eagerly forward to the season next year. (Zonff.rf.no: Standings W L Pet.

I'm trying to study—study did you say?- ho hummm—I'm going to sleep say girls, where is that und so forth, ad infinitum A nice, chummy, livable room—that's the girl's rest room. What could we do without the balcony?

We stop there for a chat whenever we go by and even rush to the place on Fridays to receive our Spectators, the minute the distribution begins. one hundred ten LITERATURE The log in the distance blended the grey of the mountains with the grey of the sea. As the boat left the dock. we ran into a strong, firm wind blowing from nowhere—from far reaches of water, perhaps, and dim ages long since slipped into eternity. This was yesterday now, forever! Ihc spirits of all men who had ever lived were about me and here in the midst of gay and swarming crowds was supreme solitude. This wus my little life, which had never been until yesterday and w'ould never be again after tomorrow. this salt breeze in my face was the wine of life fascinating because there could never be enough, this fire, this fierce thing urging me to seek, was youth, intoxicating because it would not last, lime for a moment paused, the mud world laded, und lost its reality. Thus the hours passed It might have been years, lifetimes' We came dose to the shore-line, we passed a city, its irregular buildings silhouetted against the side of a rugged hill, a city whose name I did not know nor trouble to learn. What did it matter1 Perhaps there had been no city at all, for all life is illusion and there is no reality The fog was lifting now. showing grey water no longer, but a cool blue sea sparkling crisply under a midsummer sun. I wandered to the top deck, where 1 found a vacant chair not far from the flapping Union Jack, the flag of another people (Strange things nations, flags, patriotism ) The voice of a stranger at my side came to me. No. I'm not exactly sight-seeing. I'm just making the trip over to Vancouver to pass the day. I've been in Seattle a while.

Ihrow away your mirror, and cease looking at shadows. Go down into the world and live Don't be afraid Ihc glittering brightness of his eyes and the nervousness of his thin white fingers aroused an inexplicable horror in me. I sent him on an errand, und in his absence made my escape. Once more mountains lifted their peaks above the horizon, attempting to out-do the blue of the Sound. As the boat drew nearer the land. I could see many buildings huddled near the shore This then was the city of Victoria, on Vancouver Island. Rocks gleamed yellow in the sun High upon a hill rose the towers of Dunsmuir (Castle, built years ago by a British lord, but seeming as much a part of the landscape as the white clouds that floated languidly above it. Everything here looked fresh und green as if it had been bathed in cool water; nothing had the tired and withered l x k one associates with the heat of August. The serene beauty of Victoria, city of mansions und rock-gardens, and hedges of hawthorne and tiny rock-bound inlets. I shull never forget Truly, this is the city to which I shall return on the bright morning when my long-delayed ship comes in. Meanwhile, the sky had become overcast with low-hanging clouds There came bursts of wind. People scurried into the comfortable lounges, leaving me on the deck alone. The lazy, sleepy afternoon sprang into fierce life Hie wind tore through my hair and whistled about my ears Great splashes of rain whipped at my cheeks A quiver ran over the sullen face of the sea A flash was followed by the guttural rumblings of thunder. It was just at sunset that the train left the city of Vancouver behind, and. following a long inlet of the Sound, hurried eastward I he water, a mirror for the flaming sky. became a pool of liquid fire, reaching out to the feet of mountains already veiled in purple shadows.

She’s nearing sixty now. and still she goc$ about to various homes making dresses. coots, suits for little boys, and all the things that dressmakers do make. Lou is a thin, thin figure thin face, thin lips, and, I think, a thin soul. Lou has grey eyes: not warm, friendly grey eves, but chilly steel grey ones that see through every pretense. Everyone is afraid of Lou, for Lou is a gossip, not the friendly, harmless, gossip of one housewife to another over a back fenc:. but a deadly, malicious gossip, whose unkind words hurt deeply and leave a scar that never quite heals. Even though people arc afraid of Lou. they do have her come to their homes to sew. Why ? Well, some because Lou is a very good seamstress; others because for some unexplainable reason they arc sorry for Lou. Then there arc still others who have Lou come to their homes for an entirely different reason one not so charitable. They want to hair what Lou has to say about their neighbors. For Lou knows everything that's going on that is worth knowing. She knows, and tells, that the Wilkins haven't paid their grocery bill for months, but they bought a new car She knows the Green girls arc running wild” since their mother died, that Clem Jones comes home drunk and beats his wife and here the voices drop to a whisper and the recipient of this important bit of information looking very shocked, says. You don't say now. whoever would have thought that about no. I won't tell a soul. But arc you sure, Lou?” And Lou blazes forth indignantly. Of course I’m sure- 1 you think I go around making things up?” Then, of course. Lou must be pacified at any cost so she won't reveal what she knows about the family ol the offender. She has the whole town in the palm of her thin hand, and she knows it and takes every advantage of the fact. But. one often wonders whether Lou never gets lonely. She has no real friends, for she has walled herself in behind an insurmountable barrier of bitterness against the whole of humanity. Why. nobody knows. I suppose there was something that made her bitter. Lou has a nice little home that is always as neat as a pin, but she lives there all alone, and no one ever pays her a social call Lou’s lovely little yard and garden arc also very neat and correct, but there is no one to enjoy them. Lou. you see. is so utterly and completely alone Joan Fisher Master Makers While yet a small child. I attended one evening, a program that from among many childhood recollections stands out the most clearly. I ic main performer of the evening's entertainment was a pottery maker. With what interest I remember watching the man mix the common grey clay that was to become lovely dishes. Talking as he worked, he fashioned vessels: tall ores, fat. squat ones, medium ones. ugly, useful ones, and beautiful ones that were meant only for ornaments. Finally, from beneath his skillful hands rose the most beautiful vase my childish mind had ever imagined Ilic vase itself was grey, but on its surface were woven and interwoven myriads of pictures, lovely colors, and intricate designs Slowly, steadily, the vessel neared perfection. the tallest and loveliest of them all I remember holding my breath at its very beauty Suddenly, without warning, the lovely creation crumpled beneath the maker's touch I know I cried for the loss of the vase, for the man said there could never be another exactly like that one. that no two vases ever could be alike. I did not know until years later that that master maker of pottery had purposely placed in his clay a Haw. a tiny splinter, just to show the very thing that seemed so deplorublc to me. He had a reason for his actions I could not understand How clearly that simple performance portrays human life! From the very beginning, the Great Master works as the master of clay worked. I le takes the commonest clay for a beginning, and He likewise fashions not vessels but lives, from the clay. He creates tall ones, short ones, homely, useful ones, and lovely, ornamental ones. But to Him not only one but all of the children of I lis hand arc precious and beautiful. On each soul He fashions a distinct personality of color, deeds, and emotions, so that every life is unique, and no two lives tell the same story. Then, of a sudden, us the vase crumbled, so the lovlicst of the Master s creations crumbles beneath His hand And we humans can only cry out that something beautiful, something that is beyond replacement, has been lost. we can only wonder why it must be. Perhaps, like the child, we some day shall know Perhups when the great Master-Maker of all time gathers His broken bits of clay to I lim forever, we shall learn that He loo has n reason for all that He docs and we shall understand. Sabra Yule one hundred thirteen The title of this essay might. I think, give the impression that I had visited a palace either in reality or in imagination. On the contrary, I am constrained to admit thut my association with the blue-bloods has been so limited that I have never made the acquaintance of any of the royal family personally, and. as a matter of fact, have not even the slightest ambition to be presented at court, which is. under the circumstances, fortunate for me. The palace to which I refer is only a sweet shop on the principal street of a certain city. and. with all due respect to the management, not an extraordinary place, in fact rather mediocre. The inspiration which prompts me to write about this palace is not concerned with its physical qualities, but rather with its phychological ones. Having stopped often at the place, I have been interested in noting people, their reasons for stopping there, and their reactions to what was g« -ing on. From about four until six o'clock the atmosphere is that of a playground. Students throng into the palace , after schtx l, not particularly because they desire refreshments but because it is a meeting place for fricndsnnd also a place where one can be served at a table with a coke for the modest sum of five cents. Among the customers at this hour there are also many women who have been shopping, and have stopped for a few minutes of relaxation. I have heard many bridge parties discussed, and not infrequently, choice bits of gossip passed across the table One of the chief topics of conversation among these women seems to be the proper reducing diet, but it is astonishing to note that invariably the heavy women order malted milks, and their thinner sisters, whose figures arc much admired, usually order a coca-cola, with which they puff at a cigarette or two. The lutcr hours seem more interesting After nine o'clock, when the library closes, there arc usually a large number of high sch x� l students that drift in among them the sophisticated flappers and the so-called drug store cowboysBefore very long, dates have been made and the boys with collegiate cars march out to take the girls for a ride, while the less fortunate walk home with the less mercenary of the feminine species. I usually call this hour, from nine to ten. the puppy love hour. With eleven o'clock a new era is ushered in. Perhaps it could be called the hour when romance flourishes The patrons are not so young or gay. they garc about more seriously than did the ones of an hour or two before I'hcv look at one another with what might be allied a moonstruck gaze. Romantically speaking. I believe this hour is the most important one at the palace , but strangely, the cash register seems to show no appreciable business which may go to prove thut lovers lose their appetites.

People turn to look at him O haven't you heard? He is the sole proprietor of the famous Sour Crapes night club! What's that? Oh. he was educated ut Harvard Hmmm? As I recall the extraordinary statement of a famous French doctor, the answer to this puzzle becomes amazingly simple. We do not die; we kill ourselves. Alter the declaration a trifle and it fits my purpose splendidly. We arc not educated; we educate ourselves. Two students enroll in the same history class. At the end of the term. Tom is intimately acquainted with all the great characters who have made history. Dick knows that the color of the book is green and that about the middle of it is a picture of Queen Elizabeth wearing a stiff, white choker. Both students pass the course; Tom with an A . Dick with a ”D . Both graduate. Tom as valedictorian and Dick as lowcstorian”. if there could be such a position. In the eyes of the world. Tom and Dick have been educated at Harvard, in my perhaps eccentric estimation, Dick has gone to Harvard, but ‘lorn hits educated himself in the solemn halls of the renowned and honorable institution. Such is my opinion of education. Before many precious moments have vanished into eternity, another conspicuous figure passes within our range of vision I'he newcomer has not shaved today. Evidently he is occupied with more serious thoughts than those of the fastidious dresser. Upon closer scrutiny. we detect a far-away, dreamy look in his eyes. We poke our city cousin in the side and whisper inter- rogations such as usually result from curiosity—the matter of fact reply is given in sophisticated, bored monosyllables. Poet, writes Dumb when it comes to practical problems Was educated at Harvard. In the bus. my eye singles out a young, respectable looking chap as the next victim of gossip. Who's he?

Any sensible fellow would have jumped at the chance. Presently, another celebrity boards the Broadway Ferry . People thrust aside their newspapers and wait for a sign of recognition from the awe inspiring notable. Mr. H B Brown, the wealthiest man in New York. No. had no education Just born smart. Thus the day continues Home at last. I kick oil my pumps, curl up on the divan, and try to straighten out the tangle that the day has precipitated in my mind. Many, many people go up and down, over and across, in and out Some arc educated, some arc not. Some arc successful, some arc not. Then comes the perplexing problem. If everyone who attends college goes out into the world with different ideals and acquired characteristics, then what is education? I'he night club man flunked his chemistry exam, but acquired polish. The poet gleaned the higher ideals of life, but missed the practical training that his Alma Mater offered The young lawyer combined common sense with idealism Yet, they were all educated at I larvard. The old business man had no education; yet he mastered the essentials of a successful life. Clarice Chase one hundred fifteen Star Dust It is curious how a seemingly trivial occurrence will sometimes take such strong hold on the imagination l hat falling star I saw one night last spring, for instance. Ever since I could remember. I had heard persons say. Look at the shooting star' But when I turned to see. I was always just a second too late the star had vanished licit one night I stood alone on a sturlit hill, gazing up at the myriad twinkling worlds above me. when suddenly a ball of fire streaked halfway from the zenith to the horizon, leaving in its wake a trail of white flame, I held my breath, half waiting for the sizzle and crash that follow the setting-off of a giant skyrocket, but all wus still, and then I realized that what I had seen was a falling star dc luxe variety. There is a quaint old saying that a falling star heralds a new-born soul I wonder if that mammoth one I saw was the nativity fire of some leader of men-another like Him who walked the shores of Galilee so long ago? Men say that a strange and wonderlul star flamed in the winter sky that first Christmas Eve. Years from now. will I look back at that night in the starlight and say to myself. That night 1 saw heralded the birth of a king, or perchance a leader of nations. or un emancipator of mankind '? I'hcre arc others who say that a falling star is the last farewell of a departing soul. If that be so. I wonder whtwe-soul left that fluming path across the heavens1 I read of no great man's death in the papers the next day Maybe the greatness of the soul’s earthly career is not necessarily mirrored in the star attendant on its last pilgrimage across infinity. Who knows1 Perhaps that glorious flash marked the exulting flight of some soul that was winging its way homeward to a well-earned reward for a life of uncomplaining sacrifice in some obscure nook -one of those souls that found the common daylight sweet, and left to Heaven the rest. Strange, how that single moment of splendor revealed lingers with me when other things of seemingly far greater material significance arc but vague memories. I like to think of that moment as mine and mine alone. I like to fancy that my eves were the only ones that followed that flash of splendid mystery across the sky. und that the memory of it is locked in no heart but mine A whimsical little conceit, is it not1 Margaret O’Mali.ey My Plea What docs the Master of Music IX to you?

My Philosopher Toad Sitting in dreamy contemplation on the topmost step of (Kir cellar entrance one sunny morning. I chanced to sec an enormous, heavily corrugated, and evidently sleepy old toad, who was sunning himself on a flat rock near the foot of the steps I am no judge of the longevity of loads, but I should say that he was an extremely ancient individual, und had lived to see many seasons run their course while he kept to his abode in some chink in the foundation of our old house Patient, sagacious old friend1 My mother had for several years encountered a huge toad in her flower bed on the Other side of the house and I wondered if this were not a brother, or perhaps the father, of that one Jake she called him. and had it from good authority, on the word of a ne'er-do-well hired hand who had spent the greater part of his life in the woods, that touds live to be u hundred years old. This particular toad was welcomed by her each year in the supposition that he would keep all manner of insects and worms from her flower bed. As I sat there myself enjoying the early morning sun und abandoning my mind to the dreamy, sensuous pleasure that comes when one is in that vaguely conscious state, thoroughly warmed by the sun's rays und not long from a comfortable bed. I considered the c mmon toad. His hardest labor consists in settling himself to a comfortable position, slvxrting forward his prolonged sticky tongue, and waiting for some juicy fly to come his way. Can one imagine any simpler means of obtaining a livelihood’ Add to this the deep pleasure of uninterrupted meditation, for which the toad has ample opportunity, and one has a perfect picture of contentment and ease. It is small wonder indeed that the toad has such a thoughtful visage Much cogitation has produced those gentle scholarly eyes, and time alone could etch those wrinkles Dignity such as is found in no chief justice sits on his culm brow, and profound knowledge sufficient to uwe the ablest doctor of philosophy characterizes his wide, placid countenance and protruding, bulbous shirtfront How he must scolT at our frantic searching after perfection and constant worry about diet, clothing, and whatnot' He discords his suit once a year. and. as for food, can get along on practically nothing. Seated there on his sun-warmed throne, this superannuated dignitary of the cellar-way seemed the embodiment of self satisfaction, and had assumed that happy role of idleness with impunity. A jarring note interrupted my soliloquy, and I came to the realization that my mother was calling me. and that though a toad may idle with exemption fn m penalty. I could not. I therefore took my leave of the cellar-way and my companion in idleness As I did so. I was quite sure that his eyes held a suggestion of pity, l ie certainly gave his shoulders an airy shrug as I departed. Annf. Hennmman one hundred seventeen Friendly Moon The moon is rising O'er the hills and tree tops From a haunt unknown. To light the darkened heavens And the darkened earth For weary travelers Who walk alone. AlMEE Fantasy I have never been able to name it. but there is something about a swiftly-moving brook that appeals to me. I am wont to lie beside such a stream and dream away the hours, which could be more wisely, but never more happily, spent. Perhaps anyone who has driven along a country road and over u little rural bridge has caught a glimpse of the scene that affects me thus. Only those who have left the roadway, however, and wandered along the path of the stream, can appreciate the fascination of which I am a victim. I recall vividly a day on which I took a bit of lunch and started out for a trump thut would lead me to some place. I knew not where. The day was the kind on which it is easy to believe that Cod's in his heaven, all’s right with the world. The sky was a soft blue, with an occasional cloud wundcring aimlessly across my line of vision The grass had taken on a fresh and dewy greenness, and a spring fragrance pervaded the air Ihe trees had newly blossomed, as though a mystic hand had drawn beauty out of the ugliness of grey, rough bark. it was on such a day that I ventured ulonga streum. I followed the river downward, as though the very current of the brook permeated my body, until I came upon a spot meant for such as I. The trees seemed to have stepped back and permitted the grass to grow tall and green, to form a bed for me to lie upon. Yet their huge arms reached out to offer shelter when the sun should choose to pour its heat too strongly upon me Here 1 seated myself, but was soon lying on my back, gazing up. Over my head flouted the clouds. Somewhere a bird was calling. I'hc monotonous drone of bees as they visited one flower and then another, came to me. I'hc lazy atmosphere of such a plucc set me to dreaming and in the colors of the flowers I saw the brilliant togas of the Greeks, Romans. Egyptians In the silver flash of fish in the stream I saw the sleek and silvery women of Paris. In the movement of the stream I felt a something which John Masefield felt in his Sea Fever.” 1 felt the tug of movement in me. and the peace of a sky overhead, and a deeper blue beneath. I'hc thrill of the mating birds came to me. and I tasted the sweetness of life, as the bees tasted the honey of the flowers In such a time, the moments move swiftly, and soon I knew I must return. Somewhere in the deepening blue ubovc I heard the honking of the geese; somewhere I heard the call of the whippoorwill, und I arose. I glanced once more at the scene of those happy hours.

The last two years have witnessed the growing popularity cf the Believe It or Not' corner and the I )id You Know? column of the Spectator. Believing that such a feature might well find its place in the college annual, we went poking around the school for little knowTi facts concerning the lives of those within its walls, and as a result of the search, drew conclusions. In an institution of this size it is not necessary to go afield to meet persons who have, at some time in their lives, done things that we style interesting . Instructors and students with whom we rub elbows every day. have, we find, visited various green pastures beyond our own, and have met men and women the world calls famous . Many of them have intriguing hobbies. which they ride industoriusly, with extremely interesting results. Invariably, however, the very persons whose hobbies and experiences we most covet to examine arc the most reticent of our acquaintance. Therefore. it was with semz difficulty that the following bits of information were gleaned from various nooks and byways. They are presented with all due apologies to the many others who we arc sure have led just as interesting lives, but who. because of their modest inacccssability, we have been unable to interview successfully. The Faculty Mr. Ackerman left the country school he was teaching in Michigan when the Spanish-American war broke out. and rode a bicycle to (Chicago to enlist in the First Illinois Infantry. He was in Cuba for three months, under General Shaftcr. and was in the immediate vicinity of San Juan Hill at the time of that famous battle. 11c heard the Spanish fleet outside Santiago harbor destroyed by Admirals Sampson and Schley, but did not know for some time afterward which side had been victorious, because of conflicting reports received by his company. He also saw Theodore Roosevelt s Rough Riders in action. Mr. Murray was editor-in-chief of the Arbutus. Indiana University's annual publication, when he was a senior there. Later, he was city editor of the Muncie Star, and— believe it or not—was at one time editor of ITtc Farm Star, a weekly published by the Indianapolis Star. Miss Macdonald has traveled a great deal, particularly in countries where Spanish is spoken, spending summers in Spain and Venezuela. She refused to attend bull fights in Spain because they advertised three horses killed by each bull. but has attended bull fights in South America, where the matadorc fights on foot. One of her most interesting experiences was observing at dose range the activity of one of the largest volcanoes in Hawaii. Miss Macdonald s hobby, or avocation rather, is concert piano playing. She had charge of the piano department at Vashon College, in Washington, and at McMinnville College, in Oregon. Several times she was called upon to accompany traveling artists at hardly more than a moment's notice, and she recalls those experiences as some of the most interesting and worthwhile she has had. She also has studied the pipe organ under Reynolds, in Tacoma. Washington. Mr. Milliren recalls with some difficulty the many places he visited while in the Navy during the World War. He was cn the U.S.S. Aggamemnon. a transport plying between New York and Brest, at the beginning of the war. Later, he shipped on the U.S.S. Bcauford. a supply ship running between England and the continent In his capacity as carpenter's mate, he was the first man to begin reconditioning work on the Impcrat-or. sister ship to the Leviathan, after it had been taken from the Germans. One of the most harrowing experiences Mr. Milliren recalls is that of taking a shipload of supplies from Ireland to Holland after the American occupation of Germany, running through the North Sea which was still full of deadly mines. As one of the must impressive sights he ever witnessed, he mentioned the withdrawal of 142 American destroyers cn masse from the North Sea after the Armistice was signed. Dr. Schneider, too. was connected with transport vessels during the World War. He was army transport quartermaster, and crossed the Atlantic four times in this capcity. He had the nonc-too-plcasant experience of seeing a neighboring ship torpedoed at one time, but . at no time was his ship known to be in immediate peril Dr. and Mrs. Schneider resided in Paris for nearly a year, both of them tutoring American children part of that time Dr. Schneider mentioned an audience with the Pope and a trip through the magnificence of the Vatican, as high points of his travels through Italy. It is not commonly known that President Schofield played fullback on the varsity football team at the University of Wisconsin back in the early I900's, and that he was also captain of the basketball team there, during his undergraduate days. It is a matter of general knowledge that Mr. Simpson. commonly known as Major Simpson because he holds that position in the Officers' Reserve, was a dashing military man in the days of the Great War; but how many know that he was teaching at the Eau Claire Normal at the time of his enlistment—at which time he was only twenty-three years of age and had many students older than he? His military career during the World War. summed up briefly, is as follows: private, five weeks, corporal, eight weeks; first lieutenant, one year; captain, one year. His most important responsibility during the war was that of commanding an antiaircraft machine gun defense, and his most thrilling experience befell him early in service, when an airplane one hundred thirty � J Anyone Told You? w dropped ji bomb about a mile from where he happened to be. after circling maddeningly over his position for some time Of course, no bomb could do damage at that distance: but it could, and did. make plenty of noise, and Mr. Simpson admits he was somewhat excited for a time. After the Armistice was signed. Mr. Simpson accepted a detail as a student in the School of Economics at the University of London, where he studied geography and stock exchange. I 1c traveled more than ten thousand miles in Europe on official business, becoming familiar with France. Germany. Italy. Luxembourg, und the British Isles. He then returned to his professional position at Eau Claire, where, after coaching football for six years (during two consecutive years of which time the team was undefeated) he took charge of the Geography Department of Eau Claire Teachers' College. He has taken his geography classes on several trips to various parts of ihc country, including all national parks west of the Mississippi and the states of Florida, North Carolina, and Washington. He plans to take the next group through New England, and on to Montreal. Mr. Simpson is also an official for track and football in the Western Conference, and has officiated at games for every one of the Big Ten. and also for Notre Dame, Detroit and Marquette Thk Students Chester Oicn has a large collection of autographs from famous personages, many of whom have now passed beyond the importunities of autograph seekers. In his hall of fame appear such signatures as those of Herbert Hoover. Calvin Coolidge. William Howard Taft. A1 Smith. John Galsworthy. Edward Bok. I lelcn Keller, and Zona Gale. His most valued autograph is that of the late Thomas Edison Marcus Bruhn’s hobby is traveling—hitch hike, freight train, anything Marc firmly believes that life’s never empty for him who goes yearning out of the city and into the dawn. In two summers he has traveled about 13,000 miles, his wanderings taking him from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from Canada to Mexico. Last summer he looked in on Hollywood and the Olympic games while he was in California. At home, between trips. Marc has managed to collect about 11,000 stamps, including one of the first adhesive stamps made (put out by Great Britain in 1840) and representing in all about 250 countries, hie also has a coin collection numbering about 500 pieces, among which arc one of the famous pine tree shillings and some Greek and Roman wins, which date hack to time B C. Roy Oppegard has done his share of traveling, too, having been in nine European countries to date Ireland. England, Scotland. France, Germany. Switzerland. Norway. Sweden. Denmark. Incidentally, he has coins and stamps from each of these countries. He was present at a meeting of the German Reichstag, in 1929. and also attended a session of the Chamber of Deputies in France, l ie is very much interested in history, and has a personal library of some 300 volumes, most of which deal with that subject. Loren Phillips has one of the finest collections of guns and antiques in the state, all of which have been gathered in less than four years, l ie has an entire room fitted out as a miniature museum, with guns lining the walls, and show eases filled with Indian relies, wins, rock formations, and so forth. Ihc most extensive part of the collection is the firearms, among which is contained the entire evolution of the Springfield rifle, and many samples of revolvers and pistols showing the contrast between those of modern make with those of the older types I Ic has examples of all the guns that have made American history —rifles similar to those used in the Custer massacre, the Star , which was used extensively in pioneering days, the Spencer , a rifle of the Civil War days, as well as old Kentucky rifles. Winchesters, Underhammers, and others I lis collection also contains such articles of interest as six spinning wheels, one of the first organs to be used in CTiippewa Falls, the first fire-chief helmet of that city, and a collection of various ores and wruls. I Ic has a set of Bibles, from Scotland, dated 1790, which authorities have informed him arc worth $1,000. His win collection numbers about 900 pieces, and medals in his possession include the German Iron Cross, the French Croix dc Guerre, and the American Navy Cross for Valor Strangely enough, he has no stamp collection—to him one stamp is just like another. But he has a valuable collection of Indian relies, bead work and so on. Arrowheads, he finds, arc about the hardest to obtain along this line Probably his most prized object is a photograph of Abraham Lincoln, which Lincoln himself presented to the first Indian interpreter in Chippewa county. He took an inventory of his collect ion a year ago. and valued it then at $5.(XX) Since then, he believes its value has increased at least one-third This, of course, is only the intrinsic value. The historical value of some of his collections is inestimable Carl Heyder, who. by the way. received his grade-school education in Germany, has tried his hand at numerous “trades in the past. I Ic has traveled all over the United States, and spent some length of time in each of several parts of this country. He has been a shipwright in the south (he is a carpenter by trade), a lumberjack in the w’est. a harvester in the wheat fields of Dakota, a fur furmcr in the north, and a steward on the Pacific ocean. He saw the former German emperor while attending school in Germany. I.ast Christmas he made between $50 and $o0 selling (Tiristmas wreaths made from evergreens grown on his farm near Cornell, just by way of outsmarting the depression. one humlroi thirty-one Music at Teachers College In the beginning a mandolin club was formed at Eau Claire Normal School (buck in 1917 no one had ever thought cf calling it Eau Claire State Teachers CCollege). Six members there were in this pioneer organization—five young women and one lone man. Of course, if one went in for vocal music, there was the Men's Glee Club, with its fifteen members, and twenty-nine young women warbled harmoniously in the Cecilia n Glee Club, but isn't there something intriguing about the very name Mandolin Club ? They were all the go m those days, though. In 1918 a mixed organization of singers had been formed, known as the Choral Club, with eight members of each persuasion. I'hc Cecilia ns were still going strong. and their bc-middicd picture fills a whole page of the !9|8 Periscope. Prominent among the names found in the Cccilian roll for 1918 is that of Muriel Leonard, who later became well known for her vocal selections over the radio, after studying under Professor Howard of the Eau Claire Conservatory of Music The year 1919 brought more innovations along the musical line. A l3oys Quartet, one of the finest in the history of the school, was formed Its members were Leonard MacMahon. W aide mar Augustine, Lester Luce, und Roy Best. An orchestra, too. had been formed for the first time, under the direction of Miss Grace Gail Gibcrson. who directed all the musical activities of the school from the first year of its organization until 1921-22. Even the Model School had its place in the musical sun that year, its Eutcrpcan glee club numbering fifteen members. By 1920 the Choral Club had increased its membership to twenty, and such names as True Miller, Viva Jost, Leonard Mac Mahon.and Harry Lintz. headed its roll of notables. I’hc singers were faithfully accompanied during these years by Cx ra Louise Bartlett, noteworthy pianist. It was during this year that a musical comedy. Miss Cherry Blossom.’ was produced, one of the most successful musical efforts of the school A Christmas concert was given in Dcccmbei of that year The hand was formed in 1922, under the general direction of Miss Eiscnhart. new musical director at the Normal At this time the band was directed by Al E. Meyer, a man not connected with the faculty. Its first appearance was at a pep assembly. It is interesting to note that Mr. Slagg. of the faculty, who still plays occasionally in our hand, was a charter member of this organization, and served as its president in 1923. Hie orchestra was organized a year after the band came into being. During 1923 the band had twenty-one members. the new orchestra trailing with nineteen. On the orchestra roll appears the name of Lamoinc Batson, ski champion of later years. Nineteen twenty-four was another boom year for music. I’hc orchestra had increased its membership to twenty-seven, under the new conductress. Miss Clara Mae Ward. IT e band played for the lirst time under the directorship of a student. Forrest Mortiboy. The old Cecilian Girls Glee Club had given way to a Girls' Glee Club of twenty members, directed by Miss Ward. ITvit year there was in existence what is perhaps the best male quartet the school has known, composed of l-conard MacMahon, Frank Farr. Flurry Lintz. and William Gavin Gavin continued his musical activities after he left school, broadcasting from radio stations. including WCGO. and later obtained an A B. degree from the University of California In 1925 arc both boys and girls’ quartets for the first time, and the name of William Gavin still is prominent. In 1926 I'hc Gypsy Rover , an operetta, was given, with William Gavin in the title role. Both glee clubs, the two quartets, and the hand and the orchestra continued functioning actively. In 1927 the Girls’ Glee Club numbered thirty members, and the Boys’ Glee Club, twenty-eight. During 1928 musical organizations continued with numerous activities, and also increased their number, until they included the Girls Glee Club, the Boys Glee C'.lub. the First Girls Quartet, the second Girls' Quartet, the First Ikiys Quartet, the second Boys Quartet, and the newly formed A Cappclla Choir. Concerts were given, the proceeds of which paid for trips by members of these organizations. Nineteen thirty found the A (jippcllu Choir rapidly moving toward the position it now enjoys in the school, presenting the (Tiristmas program and making several public appearances, one of which resulted in its receiving an invitation to appear at the State Teachers Convention at Milwaukee. The Boys Quartet at that time consisted of Robert Gunn. I lurry Werner. George Johnson, and Cecil I lahn; the members of the Girls’ Quartet were Ruth Babcock. Frances Prince. Marion Lindcrman, and Virginia Weeks. An independent musical organization known as the Blue and Gold Collegians came into existence that year, but proved short-lived. By 1931 the A Qippcllu Choir had completely pushed glee clubs off the stage, the latter making no public appearances from then on It became traditiory-al for the choir to present the Christmas program and to sing at the Baccalaureate service und Commencement exercises. For the trip to Stevens Point that year, the choir presented I'hc Music Master , a hilarious and exceptionally well-presented musical selection, involving solos, duets, trios, und a grand finale. The Blue und Oild band, under the leadership of Frederick Scott, student, appeared at assemblies and games throughout the year. In 1932 the A C ippclla's musical stunt Italian Salad placed first in the contest at Milwaukee. This year, 1933, the choir presented as its stunt If-its , an original musical comedy. During the year the choir has broadcasted regularly on the college hour over WTAQ. and arrangements have been made to broadcast over WCGO this spring. one hundred thiry-two TRAINING SCHOOL 1 IB.

Billy Stanford, center. oltErough robEred of many cEranccs to play because of sickness, made a good sErowing whenever called upon. Donald Rowe, forward, was very aggressive and in the thick of the game at all times. one hundred thiriy-� evcn John Hancock, forward, although kept out of the game for awhile by sickness, came back and gave a very good account cf himself, excelling in good team play. Thomas Litchfield, forward, although one of the smallest boys on the team, had lots of courage and determination. and played well in every game in which he took part. Robert Hutchinson, forward, improved very rapidly during the season, and in the last games played like a veteran Delos Anderson, forward, was the smallest boy on the team, but he made up for his size in fight, never admitting that he was beaten William Warden, forward, did not come out for the squad until the second semester, but he learned readily, and in the final games was a real help. Robert Lindmark. forward, played very well when ever called upon, and will be a valuable player later. Charles Bergman, guard and main dribbler, has a very good eye for the basket and uses a deceptive style of play that is unusuul in a young pluyer. James Kleiner, guurd, was a clean, consistent player and fine defensive guard. James Bergman, guard, played very well whenever called upon, and like his brother was a proficient dribbler. James Paul, guard, wus a fine floor pluver and a good defensive guard, who progressed rapidly once he came out for squad work. Dramatics Club Ific Junior High School Dramatics Club, under the direction of Miss Phyllis Kelley, is a new organization this year.

The club considers itself fortunate in having as advisors these two. who. while they have been through the mill, still retain a youthful and undoubtedly romantic outlook on life. For club widow Avcnillc Hagcrty. The club's widows mission is to keep things stirred up enough among the men so that the girls of the organization are never in danger of taking their men for granted. An innovation among the club's officers is the newly-created position of shall we say widower? Purpose: to bear the same relation to the men as the widow to the women Candidate: Harlow Bachus. For official trainer : Doris Davis. Ilic trainer's duties consist of training every raw male recruit for membership, and leaving him high and dry to become on accredited member in company with some one else. For club's “movie idol : Kenneth Kottkc This, too. is a new office, and was created in an effort to alleviate a greater part of the present economic strain and stress It is believed that the young men will thus be relieved of an enormous burden if. instead of teasing to be taken to the movies to see Clark Gable, the girls can languish over Kottkc gratis. It won't do him any harm, for he is perfectly impervious to anything resembling feminine wiles, and it will serve the purpose nobly. For technical advisor: George Nelson Because of his long and varied experience, and his presidency of the R.O.V. during 1031-32, Punk was unanimously voted this position. 3. Charter members of the organization shall include: Dayton Hokcnstrom and Mary Korn. Jack Wilson and Janet Mahoney. Evelyn Stai and Adolph Thompson. Marvel Benner and Ccyon Mcisncr. Gwen Rudoll and I-aMont Page. Steve Williams and Gladys Walter. Helen Brown and Ronald Stellar. Ida Hal lack and Louis Berg. Arthur Brandstad and Mildred Keller. Rex Griffin and Marjorie Babcock, Aileen Evans and Laveme I Idler. 4. A new feature which will be welcomed with shouts of joy by several erstwhile candidates for membership is that if. by some circumstance of cruel fate, one member of a duo leaves school for a semester or so. the individual remaining in school may retain full membership and privileges, and may even find solace in the generous group of free-lancers provided for that purpose. This group will include such eminently eligible persons as William Wrigglesworth. Emily Chaput, Vcrlund Anding, Arthur Nadlcr. Joan Fisher. Harriett Peterson. Beatrice Johnson. I Harriett Cudney, and David Lucbkcman. Ifvc “bereaved ones left temporarily to their own devices include such well known characters as Marion Miller and Betty Nielsen.

President Schofield seems to have been very conscious of that smile of his. Resourceful Dr and Mrs. Davenport were at Washington. D.

Changing Styles In Adventure I should not place adventurers in a class by themselves without defining sharply how adventuresome an individual must he to make him an adventurer. I know of or have heurd of but few people who when adventure is suggested do not become instantly enthusiastic It is my thought that we all arc adventurers to one degree or another. We have been forced by circumstance to restrain our Bohemian instincts. Those people whom circumstance has smiled upon and those who have jumped the traces of circumstance arc the adventurers about whom we read Today we get our adventure from books and moving pictures. Mentally we live the best and the worst of the world’s greatest adventurers. Sometimes we live experiences that no man has lived or ever will live, the extreme of a writer’s imagination. However that may be. it is in this way that we satisfy that desire within us to do something or go some place that man never has. In the early history of our country, adventure was not difficult to find, but if you craved such, vou had to live it actually No one could step out in the evening to see anything comparable to a moving picture of Admiral Byrd’s explorations at the South Pole. People were too busy living to write books. Ibere were wars to be fought, there were vast territories to be mapped and settled. ITicre were seas to sail, continents to explore. and gold to discover. Ibe prospects were unlimited. After we have been u few times to the poles, after we have dived to the bottom of the deepest ocean, after we have sealed the highest mountain, after our earth is an open book. there is still left the rest of the universe. Science and adventure have always worked hand in hand. Will the adventurer stop with th:s earth? Willett Pet Peeves By making myself a general nuisance to my friends I have found out that peeves” take in practically everything that exists, anything that anyone can do. It discourages me to think that everything I do or say probably irritates someone One of my friends is driven almost to distraction by red fingernails, another grows very fretful if anyone chews toast with his mouth open, another sees red if anyone uses the outmoded wisecrack” Oh yeah , another dislikes talk about the depression, and still another contemplates murder when he hears the expression It is me. No doubt some of the unspoken 'peeves of my friends concern the way I comb my hair, the height of my heels, my giggle, and the way in which I abuse the King's English One friend told me that her pet peeve was hearing people use abominable grammar. ’ Right then and there I discovered that I had three major aggravations, and tbutt the third one was hearing her use the adjective abominable incessantly. This, however, annoys me only slightly as compared to hearing Roosevelt' pronounced as though it were spelled Rucsevelt, and to eating at a table that has been carelessly laid. The first peeve really irritates me most of all. in spite of the fact that mispronouncing names is a rather common error. At anv rate. I experience a sensation akin to physical pain whenever anyone says Rucsevelt.

As a result, in his last year, when the boy's father was able to help his son financially. the boy had grown to dislike all social functions in which a crowd was concerned He felt out of place, and. in truth, he was.

Anon Make your headquarters at the Eau Claire Cafe one hundred forty-eight Familiar Essay Writing One author of u textbook on literary forms says the familiar essay is the easiest form of literature to write. I heartily disagree with him. I wonder, and I hope he will pardon the doubt, whether he ever tried to write one1 Well, he is a man, and perhaps, being a man. he could follow his own suggestion—light a pipe, settle himself in an easy chair before the fireplace, and material for familiar essays by the dozen comes swiftly out of nowhere to be used. Slot being a man. and consequently not smoking a pipe, and not even owning a fireplace, how docs one go about the writing of thixse familiar” pieces of prose1 The first thing, apparently, is to avail yourself of pencil and paper. This is absolutely necessary in order to catch any ideas that may come out of space. Lined piper is much the better; clean, white paper, minus lines, holds forth far too much temptation for would-be artists to allow intense concentration of a literary nature. The pencil, if possible, should contain a good eraser It is clearly evident that a chewing of the eraser. plus a furrowing of the brow, is a great aid to concentration. Now that the preliminaries arc disposed of. you are ready to choose a topic. A familiar essay, you recall, is to be written in a conversational tone about everyday things You ch xise the most common thing in sight, an inkwell. Fixing your eyes on it. you stare intently for a full minute Much to your disgust, the inkwell docs not materialize into an essay At the end of a second minute it still remains an inkwell. You give it up. and cast about for something better How about the family canary1 He is common and you can carry on a conversation, if but a one-sided one. with him. billed with animation you rush to his cage, and twitter and whistle at him. He looks at you in sleepy dis- dain. nonchalantly turns his back, and proceeds to sleep. You retire, disaxiragcd. to your chair. No making a familiar essay out of him when he won't even be familiar. By this time you're sitting first on one foot, then on the other, gazing into space. Space space reminds you of air—of sky—of stars. At last you feel that you arc on the right track. You arc going to compose a masterpiece on stars! Grasping your pencil firmly, you start writing Silently, one by one in the infinite meadows ” With a gasp of dismay you stop with the realization that Longfellow said the same thing once upon a time. Shifting your position and deepening the lines in your brow, you start afresh. Strangely, about this time your thoughts run to water. ITc relieve yrxirself, you go to the sink and take a long drink. Possibilities begin to present themselves in the kitchen Surely, common things abound there Your fancy skips from water to the sink, table, stove, soap, cabinet; even the humble door sill comes in for a hasty consideration Ilien there might be a possible idea in the keyhole. Your weary mind turns the mutter over. How could one possibly write an essay ubout a keyhole? Unless, of course, the keyhole became alive and told stories ubout somebody’s coming home late. Late reminds you of time, and you glance at the clock. Gracious, eleven-thirty ulreudy1 This is no hour of the night to compose even thcsimplcst of essays! Perhaps, you reflect, it isall for the best. A good night's sleep, and morning will undoubtedly bring to your pencil tip the very idea you crave. With no guilty conscience whatsoever, you put away your nicely sharpened pencil and prepare for bed. confident that your dreams will bring material for familiar essays by the dozen.

English I I expect to gain three important advantages over those unfortunates who have not had the good luck to enroll in a college English composition class the ability to use good English in social and business activities; the power to write goad English in the construction of the sentence, and the ability to gain a new style of composition. Not only have I been informed for ten years by-doting elders that well spoken English is essential to social and business success, but I have actually arrived at the same conclusion myself. Poorly spoken English may be compared to an infirmity, which, if it is not cured, will remain a blot on a person's life. The user of objectionable English immediately has a stigma placed upon him by many with whom he comes in contact. Crude English can serve its user only as an anchor. which grows ever heavier as its mass increases. When I speak of perfect English in composition. I am selfishly considering my own ease. I (perhaps foolishly) cherished a fond hope to improve the great journalistic field by my meager talents Every business field requires the use of good English in sentence structure, but none to such an extent as journalism. I c competition in this field being very keen, such an important factor as the use of good English may have the power to make' or break a man who has just started his newspaper career. In the field of journalism arc numerous channels that may lead either to obscurity on a small unimportant paper or to fame and success on a huge metropolitan daily. I believe a distinctively original style of writing will go for in accomplishing the latter. A columnist who writes in an original, interesting style has covered the journalistic second mile . With the help of English I. I hope to make a little more possible the success thiit has come to such persons as H Bruen. Swan, and other great newspaper men.

The frozen icicle-trees swayed imperceptibly os the lower cloud neared the higher one. High in one of the trees on the lower cloud sat n snowbird, barely visible against the snow. His song floated easily to the other bird above him on the other cloud. “’Come, marry me. and be my true love. See' I have a nest large enough for both of us. and I shall love you dearly.

He searched throughout the kingdom of the sky, on all the clouds, which hung like powder-laden puffs of air. and floated gcntlv. A year he watched for the snowflake, but could not find the one he sought. Many years passed, and still he sought the prize that would win his love for him. Each year he watched the snow'fall, searched and then waited for the next w'intcr. Tired and weary after many years of searching, he decided to return arid beg of his love that she free him from such a command. He began the long journey back to her. hoping she would accept his long years of Coil as proof of his love. On his way he encountered a snowstorm, w hich weighted down his small body, and beat back his tired wings But on he labored, praying that he might have strength to return to the one he loved. For what seemed years he struggled from one cloud to another, until at last he came to his own again.

Once a Grubber, always a Grubber. My brother, after his first appearance in cap and gown, decided as did the majority of the boys who were graduated in our little one horse town. to work a year n the paper mill before proceeding to further his forrruiI education Sch x l had been in session three weeks when the Grubber made a decision, an astounding decision, one which has changed the entire course of his life journey. Me had observed that there were men working in the mill from every graduating class since I9lb. when the high school wosorgunized men, who when boys, had planned to go back to schixil the next year, l ie looked past the conquered armv and saw himself, ten years hence, standing shoulder to shoulder with them—a charter member of the disillusioned. My brother decided to go to school. Accordingly, a long. lank, freckled youth enrolled in a teachers’ college one bright morning in October. I le had no money, no influential friends, no outstanding talents, not even a commanding personality. His assets consisted of two honest grey eyes, an eagerness for adventure, the ability to make friends, and a leaky fountain pen. l-ast spring my brother was graduated from this institution. He was not an honor student, he was not foremost in student activities, in fact, he did not even get a job. I lowcvcr. I feel reasonably safe in asserting that very few students have derived from a college education more than my Grubber brother. I don’t think my brother has become a cynic On the contrary. I believe he has developed an unusual tolerance and understanding of human nature In his newsboy, theater usher, bell-hop career, he has had an opportunity to come in contact with various types of individuals, l ie is able to distinguish the pseudo arist � crat from the genuine, and the four-flusher from the millionaire I was unaware of my brother's outlook on life until I received a letter from him that was a revelation to me. I include a portion of it in order that you may understand. as I do, the philosophy of one Grubber. He wrote, By ull means. Sis. go to sch x l. Even if you don't get a job when you graduate, go to school. What you learn from books is only part of an education The people you meet, the contacts you make, arc far greater in value You don't want to be an animated encyclopedia. you aspire to be a part of society, not as society is mistermed the Tour I lundred . you know, but as a unit, one of a number of individuals striving for the worthwhile of life Volumes of information arc invaluable of course, but the real object is this: Learn to be a person of the world, a citizen active in our governmental affairs, and a thinker.

No one ever knew I luck to hold a job more than three weeks. Huck was still restless, still careless, still indifferent to the respected notions of work and accomplishment. But there did come a time when Huck discovered an occupation to his liking. His opportunity arose when a small carnival came to town. I he gaudi-ncss of the carnival struck I luck's fancy, and he quickly affixed himself to its tawdry retinue As a matter of fact. Huck wasn't around town for about a year; that is. until the return of the carnival. Then he appeared in gaudy splendor He wore o llam-ing silk shirt, a ten-gallon hat. crcam-colorcd breeches, polo boots, and a pinch-backed coat. He was a barker” for a wheel game Huck was in the height of his glory as he strutted back and forth in the glare of the carnival lights, advertising his game in a raucous voice. Even the townspeople, who had formerly held him in contempt, crowded around his booth and gaped ut him with astonishment and perhaps a little admiration As Huck bawled out his wares”, some of the younger fellows who had been tied down to laborious jobs, perhaps somewhat envious, crowded near, jostling him and demanding to play his game. One played and lost, another played and lost; then someone yelled. He is hitching the wheel There were cries of cheat.” One of the losers shook his clenched fist close to Huck's nose. This was too much for the now angered Hock, and he struck him on the chin There was a free-for-all. Huck's shirt was ripped to shreds, his hat frisked away, his polo txx ts removed, and his cream-colored breeches soiled by boot marks. Then the manager appeared. What's the matter here’ he demanded. Why. this dirty skunk was just running a cheat on me.” one of the fellow's declared. Well. Huck? the manager demanded. Huck said nothing. All right. I luck, get out! 1 luck got up and walked stiffly and dejectedly away. In a few weeks he was seen about town again, careless, still indifferent, pausing at one job for a while, and living happily, lazily, but harmlessly from day to day. John Z.

To last through your lifetime they must be given care and protection. Authorities agree that most defective vision is caused by eyestrain. And most eyestrain is caused by bad lighting. If your eyes tire quickly when reading at night, it may be that you are permanently injuring your vision by having less light than you need. Good light permits the eyes to relax even when they are in use. It is the well known ounce of prevention that will help you retain good vision in the years to come. Don’t attempt to save on light. The difference in cost between good and bad lighting often amounts to only a few pennies per evening. But the cost it imposes on the eyes is incalculable!

This explanation of the word I think applies very accurately to our present day college loafer. Instead of eating from another s table, however, he is constantly eating from other peoples minds but certainly lives up to Webster s statement in his method of flattery That this type of person is bound to take a fall in life, there is no reason to doubt, for he will certainly, at one time or other, have to be on his own in this world of turmoil. The modern parasite is at the present time meeting a problem that even his clever mind can not work out to his benefit. He has made a beautiful start of life in college career, receiving his A s and B's by means of Johnny, or Ned. or good old Mack. He has won his diploma, classed as a 6.

I s x n faded from the sight of Jim Stevens, but his laugh still grated on my ears. So I was an irresponsible procrastinator, doing what I felt like doing and leaving undone the things I did not care to do; a man of dreams, not of action, an emotionless, unfriendly person, unwilling to make friends or to share in the joys of others. I'or years Jim Stevens and I had been on unfriendly terms. This evening, when we met on the street, we had talked on general topics, and then the conversation had turned to personal things. He had ridiculed me. jeered at the things I did and then that coarse laugh. It still rang in my cars. I left the city lights behind me, and walked on through the night. I stopped, a thought had entered my mind! A man’s best friend is his enemy.’ I repeated it aloud. I knew at once the course I would follow. I would think over my own character, hunt out my strong points and my weak points, and find out whether Stevens or I was right. I would outline my characteristics on three points: my relations to others, to self, and to God. I am not what one would call a good ' mixer’. I seldom make friends easily, usually letting the other person take the initiative. Many people arc numbered among my acquaintances, but few as my friends. To me a friend is a person who will back one up in time of need; one who will go to the depths to help another. 1 will usually go out of my way to help anyone, but I do not call him a friend. 11 your friend needs your shirt or your last cent, give it to him; if you need his. take it.

Perhaps I am an egoist, but I try not to be. At all times I try to be truthful to myself. My religion is my own. and is a subject I have never talked about. I do not attend church. The attitude of most people toward churches and the way churches arc managed disgust me. I do not ask a man's religion; if he is a man in the full sense of the word he suits me I have had as close friends Catholics, Protestants, and even one who was an atheist.

We wrapped ourselves in a cloak of false character, often borrowed from our personal hero of the hour His character and actions found their way into our every move, except, of course, when we were off guard. In the case of the weaker sex , no doubt, every girl of my generation has become a Mary Pickford at one time or another. A boy could hardly imitate the world's sweetheart with any degree oi success even though he were in love with her s: he shrouded himself in Tom Mix or Hoot Gibson or Pill Hart. To me Tom Mix represented all that was exciting and worth living for. I can remember reproducing his western thrillers in our backyard with myself in the role of hero and my friends as the supporting cast I can remember going to sch x l with a toy gun slung at my hip and a pair of outrageously flappy chaps, which made my every step a danger to life and limb A heavy broad-checked flannel shirt, which had to be worn even though the hottest days of summer, completed my rather picturesque attire. These tortures and others were bravely borne for the sake of becoming in some measure a Tom Mix.” My second pose. which, strangely enough, is less clear in my mind than my earlier imitations of Tom Mix. was that of the gangster. Make-believe romance, excitement, and suave cruelty appealed to my innocent nature. Acquiring my father s old overcoat. I stuffed its cavernous pockets with an assortment of hardware . Inside my belt and in the back pockets of my humiliating knee-pants bristled more guns and daggers . As I remember it. only the dog suffered from my nerve-wracking tactics of gangland rides, holdups and murders. Looking back now I can understand what my parents must have overlooked when I turned their home into a villain s den R.V.E. Why Am I In College Like all children. I used to dream of the things I should do when I got big . My ambitions centered on being a locomotive engineer, a sailor, and other adventuresome careers that small boys admire. I had a vague ideal of going to college someday. As I grew older. my ambitions changed to more practical things, but I did not decide on a career. When I was graduated from high school, I was still undecided as to my future vocation. As I was graduated in mid-winter. I planned to work several months, and to enter college in the fall. Within a week of my graduation. I procured a job in a factory, but it lasted only nine c'nys. I was idle tw.� months, worked a week, and then laid around another month before I went back to work. However. I knew that if I worked fairly steadily. I could still save enough to attend school the c m'ng year. Put luck was against me. for I was idle most of the summer. About a week before school started. the boss said things were going to boom for a while, so I decided to work a year and try to save enough to put me through four years of college. For six weeks I worked six days a week, thirteen hours a day. I would get up at six o'clock, work until I punched out at nine in the evening, go home, raid the paper, and then go to bed. It was a d: g's life, but the cash rolled in. In addition to my living expenses. I was able to buy clothes and save u little. The middle of October the factory moved out of the city. For months I was idle, and my savings dwindled to nothing In the spring I had a month's work, and when that failed. I obtained a job working for my board at a summer camp My objectives and aims were now clear to me. I knew what my life-work was to be. To carry out my ambitions, a college education was necessary I knew that if I did not start school that fall. I probably should never go. I quit my job at camp, and went home to try to find work After two unsuccessful weeks in my own city. I gave it up as hopeless. Borrowing a dollar and a half. I hopped a freight for the l oor (bounty cherry orchards I soon found that cherrv picking is not a very remunerative kind of work. With several other fellows from various parts of the country. I slept in a barn and cooked my own meals. At the end of the cherry season three weeks later. I arrived home with eight dollars in my pocket. I soon obtained a few days' work with a threshing crew, and later, a few days' more at silo-filling. After these last two jobs. I came to the conclusion that I should never envy the farmer. I have done everything from swinging a pick to sitting in an office, but I never worked so hard as I did at pitching into a silage cutter. One who gets up at half-past five and works until half-past eight at night learns to appreciate a gtxxl bod School had already started, so I invested my money in some much-needed clothes and borrowed enough to pay my tuition. It cost me a plenty to get here, and I intend to get my money's worth This is a step towards fulfilling my ambitions, and I intend to make it as big a step as I possibly can I may have to stay out of senool another year in order to earn enough to continue my education; but I have certain aims in my heart, and as a college education is the first step towards them. I am here to get it. S. one hundred sixty-five Looby’s Leo L. Looby P. J.

Hic.h-Hat I came to live in Eau Claire a little more than a year ago. The work in high school was hard, my acquaintances few. and puls none As I remember, and smile as I do so. I came here with a fierce desire to be an in-thc-swim man. a man-a round-town . I tried to clown, and a few laughed. I tried to dance, and more laughed 'Hangs I did then were superficial It took me about two weeks to discover that I should never find happiness that way. My very thoughts were not my own. When I came to myself again. I found that I was so changed that I could hardly believe it to be me. Since that time. I’ve been parading a kind of double character, wondering which is I. I wanted friends in the worst way. vet decided that friendship made in a superficial way would never be an enduring one. So I went my way. I have been called high-hat , for what reason I do not know. Although I would not be known as supercilious. a reserve in some matters is desirable So it goes. One spends the whole of his life learning how to meet its vicissitudes. A. W. A Change in Adventure Hold that flashlight steady! My oak club switly descended upon the head of the momentarily blinded rattlesnake. The old rattler was a large one. sixteen rattles and a button. His body was about six feet long, with several ugly looking scars upon it the result of successfully waged battles during his life. I le was now twisting and turning in mortal agony—in an effort to prevent his death. His efforts were fruitless, hastened instead of prolonged his life. Hunting rattlesnakes is a sport that few have at- tempted It keeps one in a fine phvsical and mental condition It forces one to act quickly and correctly— without a moment's hesitation, because if one mistake is made, it is apt to be the Inst one. I should shun such a sport for a profession, but as an adventure, it is one of the first magnitude. My mother has often attempted to dissuade me from my favorite adventure, but in vain. The dormant qualities in my being have been brought to light because of the instantaneous action necessary in order to preserve one from dangerous harm; harm that is always ready to strike swiftly, accurately, and deadly.

I have traveled the trails for years. I have met and studied many people I was brought up in a good home, like thousands of other American homes, vet different from any home I have ever seen. My father had only a high school education, and my moth-cr completed only three years of high school because of ill health. Although he did not have much school education, my father measured up to the standard of Albert E Wiggam which is stated in his recent book, The Marks ol an Educated Man. My parents knew the value of education, and every night, as far back as I can remember, we children would gather around the table and study until wc hud finished our lessons. My father was a Jack-of-all-trades He could do anything and do it well. I Ic used to teach the rural school during the winter and do carpenter work and contracting in the summer. 1 Ic would be away from home during the week, but on Saturdays and Sundays I was with him all the time. Now. he is old and stooped and gray, but back in those days he was a straight, clean-cut man of great physical strength. Wc often went hunting when I was u boy. When I became too tired to walk farther, he would put me on his shoulder and walk on. Wc were great pals, and us I grew older, wc often put on the gloves for a few rounds With him I learned to love the out-of-door, and from him I learned to use my head to guide my Kinds I Ic often said. A man can do anything if he stops to think. This must be true, as he could do anything he laid his hand at. One time when he was building a Kirn his partner became sick. Although only nine years old. I went with him, and for three days I helped shingle the roof of the barn. Since that time. I have been with him on many jobs, and have learned the rudiments of several trades. He was the ruler in his own house. Iking a man of few words, he meant a thing when he once said it. Disobedience was unknown. At home, from him and my mother I learned the common acts of courtesy, wflich are so often neglected in present-duy life. I learned to depend on myself and to take care of myself under ulmost any circumstances. My father is my ideal of what a man should be If I can be the man he is. mv aim in life will be fulfilled. F. S. Ri:al Suixfss The American people generally think that financial prosperity and success arc linked together. I can ex- plain this statement only by the fuct that ulmost every American is a bom business man. and that in the business world, money spells success I he fuct that such millionaires as Ford. Rockefeller, and Mellon urc rated as successful men ulso helps to explain the statement. In my estimation, real success and money have no relationship. I believe that true success is the happiness that results from the attainment of some high ideal. I base mv conclusion on the following incident. While I was in high school I became acquainted with a boy whose highest ideal was to earn his letter in football. He practiced throughout the football seasons of his first three years at school. As he was a small person. the couch did not allow him to play in any game. But he continued to practice during his senior year, and toward the end of the season began to give up hopes of ever playing in un actual gumc. Finally, in the last game of the vear. the couch took pity on him, and let him play. The boy. in his four years of practice. had learned many of the finer points of football. Although he wus handicapped by his lack of size, he made himself the star of the game When he received his letter that fall, he was the happiest boy in the school. 1 can attribute his joyous feeling only to the fact that he was successful in attaining his tdial. This success could not be measured in money. Douglas Mortenson A College Student Bill Wrigglesworth But. dad. I am a college student. Mr. Wrigglesworth (sternly) Ignorance doesn't excuse unybody.

Barstow Grand Ave. Eau Claire Hotel Before the advent of the depression, in the years prior to the great crash of 1929. members of the richer class were generally acknowledged as the social leaders and the more cultured However, with the coming of the lean years and the subsequent toppling of the kings of finance, they came to be regarded as merely human after all. Under fire they proved to be less aweinspiring than when they were surrounded by pomp and social prestige. New leaders are being found and new standards of value are becoming prevalent. Although the depression is spreading misery on all sides, and is receiving its due of criticism. I for one believe it will have its good effects. The American people. because of too much success, were beginning to lose their standards of value, and were proceeding to measure success according to the financial status ol the individual. The unsteadiness of the financial world as demonstrated since 1929 will leave a deep impression on the minds of the people and will not soon be forgotten Already, some of its effects are discernible. IXic to the scarcity of money, it is being regarded as a mere necessity rather than a dominating god. and is being replaced bv the pursuance of nobler ambitions People now realize the true value of a college education. They are losing the conventional attitude they possessed for so many years in which they regarded college as a sort of vocational training schtx i. I'hey arc coming to re- alize that culture and gentlemanly manners arc traits that may be attained thereby They have come to realize that the intellectual, the artistic, such as music, literuturc. or whatever it might be. have premanent values money cannot provide. All in all. tnc people have returned to a sane attitude of mind in which they can discriminate between intrinsic and mere passing values.
