Elsie Ward The VVomen's Athletic Association has completed the second year of its existence. Since 1922. the date of organization, the membership of the society has increased very noticeably. Each semester, when new members are taken in, they begin work immediately for the third emblem which is awarded after 150 points have been attained. Their next objective is the gold medal which is awarded after 650 points have been earned, The tirst emblem, an Lf, the most coveted award that any organization in the school can offer, is presented when the student has attained 1,300 points. During the Homecoming the VV. A. A. gave assistance in decorating the gym, and in selling Homecoming tags. Under the direction of the NV. A. A. the Normal School held its first Ice Carnival, which was very successful, down on the lagoon, February 15th. Early in the spring the organization conducted a very interesting swimming meet. Plans for a Penny Carnival are under way, which will be put on immediately upon returning to school in the fall. The XV. A. A. is doing a great deal in developing clean sportsmanship and good fellowship among the girls of the various departments of the school, which has been the aim of its enthusiastic founder and sponsor.

Wfill the Philomathean die soon, too? No! The spirit of the Philo- matheans indicates that the society will endure forever. Already it has passed successfully through two years of its life. This society placed two members on the debate teams this year, Milton Stoen on the ahirmative, and William Voss on the negative. The other two members of the aliirmative team, as well as the alternate, were formerly members of this society. The activities of the society were not confined to debate alone. At each meeting, from ten to fifteen minutes were devoted to par- liamentary practice under the leadership of the parliamentarian. One of the first mixers of the year was successfully conducted by this society. - One of the feature debates of the year was: Resolved, that the La Crosse Normal School should provide a menis rest room. The decision was unanimous in favor of the negative. The lirst initiation was held on Grandad Bluff, and was an event which will long be remembered. After the initiation was over the members enjoyed a marshmallow toast. The society will lose a great many members by graduation this year, but it is expected that the remaining members will build a big- ger and better society than it has been in the past.

Fred Heitmann Sponsors-Mr. D. O. Coate, Miss Ivy Nation, Mr. O. O. White The Buskin Club, one of the oldest organizations in the school, has again lived up to its reputation, and has led the school in its activities of the year. Success has been the keynote of the happen- ings of the club during the past year. Tryouts for Buskin member- ship during the past year evidenced the fact that there are many people who are desirous of becoming members of the only dramatic organization of the school. However, the club finds that it can accomplish a great deal more in dramatic activities with a member- ship of thirty-five, so they confine themselves to that number. The meetings of the club have been unusually interesting, and one act plays that have been ably coached by the sponsors have been given at nearly every meeting The first play presented was French VVithout a Masterf' which included the following cast: Carrol Wleigel, Val Schmohl, Delores Cramer, Gladys Lewis, Faye Jewell, Howard Tempte, and John Boylan. Another fantastical play, A Fan and Two Candlesticks, was presented by Betsy Iden, Matt Prijanovich, and Edward Haddad. Jean-Marieu was the name of another clever one act play that was presented. Those appearing in this cast were Avis Horton, Chester Vifangerin, and Fred Heitman. Fred Dickeman, Faye Jewell, Lois Byers, Alice Johnson, Doro- thea Fox. Gladys Lewis, Lillian Jadock, and Carrol VVeigel partici- pated in the comedy, The Play-goersf' Two Crooks and a Lady was the title of a stirring one act drama. Participating in this were Edward Haddad, Anne Rodecap, Margaret Bennett, Pearl Frieberg, John Boylan, and Joe Murphy. The big three act comedy, Cousin Kate, was presented by the club on February 27 and was a decided success. The cast was ably coached under the direction of Mr. Coate, and the performance was equal to that of professionals. The cast included the following members who were selected by tryouts: Jessie Mulder, Alice John- son, Lois Byers, Irene Bjerklien, Matt Prijanovich, Howard Tempte and Val Schmohl. Last, but not least, we will mention the Buskin formal, which was given on the evening of February 22 in the large gymnasium of the school. It was the big pre-lenten function of the school year. It was a successful party held in a pretty setting with good music, and everyone had a wonderful time. Much of the success of the past year has been clue to the combined efforts of the Sponsors and ofhcers.

Laux, Miss Skaar, Miss Compton, Miss Wentz, sponsors The past year has been one in which the Forum Society has lived up to its purpose more than in former years. It has estab- lished a friendly relation among all the girls of the school and has presented interesting literary programs at all its meetings. The year has been one rich in protit to all of its members. A brief review of the year will give in some measure the many accomplishments of the society. Because there was no Y. XV. C. A. in the local school, the Forum undertook a big sister movement at the beginning of the year and carried it out very successfully. The non-club girls of the school were also entertained at an open meet- ing at the beginning of the club year. Progranis that emphasized various kinds of literary work were given during the year. Each program was devoted to one thing and included the following: book reviews. successful Broadway plays, pantomimes, parliamentary drill, an Arabian night program consisting of stories told in Arabian costumes, and a group of one act plays. Much of the success of the programs was due to the untiring efforts of Mrs. Laux, who was with the society the first semester, Miss Slcaar, Miss Compton, and Miss Welitz. The social side of the girls that belong to the Forum Literary Society is not neglected, and its first social function was a leap year mixer, which was open to all the girls of the school. The Forum formal. which is one of the biggest social events of the school year, was held on Saturday evening, May 3, and was a most delightful affair. The decorations, as usual, were beautiful and different from any used at any previous school function. The third social event of the club, which was given by request, was a Waltz Night, which proved to be a great success.

Dorothy Littel Grace Jacobs Lois Sherman Again the time has come when the Goddess Sappho wishes a written record of the good deeds done by us, her daughters. The ninety-tive members of this worthy society are proud of their record, for they have maintained the standards set forth by their older sisters, and in many ways have put them on a higher level. During the past school year, a group of young, sincere, and intelligent Women met semi-monthly to present Sappho with gifts which included almost all forms of literary work. instructive par- liamentary drills, entertaining plays, well-organized debates, and beautiful music have been presented in such a manner that our goddess could not help but look clown upon her daughters with joy. The society of 1924 furthered the Fifty dollar permanent loan fund by helping to make it possible for Carl Sandburg to appear at our school. Besides the literary successes, the organization has also some social functions to remember. The initiations were always entertaining, especially will the leap year party be remembered by everyone. For these we are also thankful to. Sappho. Such suc- cesses have brought the Green and Wliite banners above the othersg we have also helped to wave the Maroon and Gray in every way possible. As an organization we boosted athletics, as well as upheld all other school activities. As we close our work, we again ask our sponsors, Miss Trow- bridge, Miss Sheridan, and Miss Miller, who have been our agents in bringing about our successes, to take this to Sappho and see whether it meets her approval. May they also ask her to bestow success upon the organization in the coming years. E' l E1 THE TRIDENT SWIMMING CLUB u 1 It id A E -CI NJ .L3 DODVH 3H.l. E The Trident Swimming Club The Trident Swimming Club was organized in the fall under the sponsorship of Miss Thompson, Any girl who can pass the entrance requirements is eligible to become a member. The entrance requirenients consist of various trials for form and endurance- swinmiing twelve lengths of the pool. side stroke with scissor kick, breast stroke in perfect form, running and standing front dives in perfect form, plunging thirty-live feet, and swimming under water forty feet. After a girl has passed the entrance requirements, she may work for a minor, and then a major swimming' emblem. Try- outs are held several times a semester. If a girl does not pass all the requirements in one trial, the points already made are held over until the next time. The purpose of the club is to further interest in swimming and to encourage each member to pass the Red Cross Life Saving tests before the senior year. This is now a requirement for the three year Physical lidueation students. The charter members are those who have previously passed the Red Cross tests. The club derives its name from the sceptre of Neptune, who is, in Cireel' IIN-'lllOlO0'V the ffod of the sea. X . rn' b THE RACQUET The 11. ID. C. A. U OFFICERS President ...... ................ . ..

Gladys Lewis Among the reorganization of societies in the school was that of the Y. W. C. A. This organization, which had been idle for some time. was revived under the skillful management of Miss Ivy Nation, sponsor of the society. Late in the fall, during November, the work was begun for the ensuing semester. The officers. who were appointed by the faculty, immediately began to make numerous plans. Among the various plans made, it was decided to have two meetings each month. The first meeting of the month was given over to an informal tea, while the second meeting was for business, to be followed by an interesting program. The first get-togethern of the Y. XV. C. A. was a real girls' party. The girls had such a good time that several more social hours, which were held after school, were given. The last great success of the Y. VV. C. A. was a circus. It was a gala event for all. The proceeds of the affair were to help send two delegates to the Geneva conference. The cabinet members have worked hard and deserve a great deal of credit. Twenty members attended the cabinet conference held at 'XVinona and gained many new inspirations. The Phqsical Education Club OFFICERS President ....... ................ . .. Jule Kevin Vice-President .... ...... E dith Small Secretary ....... Eugenia Ziemar Treasurer .... Inez Peterson The year 1924 saw the mercury in the Physical Education Club barometer make a big leap, and again this club enjoyed the dis- tinction of being the largest organization in the school. The first event of the year was a banquet given by the club in honor of Doctor Sputh, founder of the Physical Education depart- ment, at which many members of the faculty and all the Physical Education students were present. The organization presented Dr. Sputh with a fitting token of appreciation. During the month of October occurred the initiation of over one hundred new members into the club. After this, monthly meet- ings were held, which were opened with an address by some special speaker procured for the occasion. One or two numbers instructive to Phy. lids. followed, and several entertaining stunts concluded the programs. The formal dance was held in May, and was one of the inter- esting social events of the year. The music was good, the gym- nasium prettily decorated, and everyone that attended had a good time. The Physical Education Club is now well established, and has an excellent membershipg next year should see great accomplish- ments from this organization.

Social All students in the course for the preparation of high school teachers automatically become members of the High School Teachers' Training Club. The club began its activities this year with a membership of one hundred and thirty-five students. The very size of the club was an indication of the success of the organi- zation for the coming year. The initiation party that was given during the second week of school of the fall term was a very enjoyable event for the old members, while the prospective members found the initiation stunts just embarrassing enough to be pleasing. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing: refreshments were served between dances. Late in the second semester the members enjoyed a Weiner and marshmallow toast on one of the nearby bluffs. The com- mittee in charge showed its ability in preparing the food for the large family. The organization began the year in a very interesting and active manner, but was greatly handicapped by the lack of time for meetings. The group is rapidly becoming one of the largest in the school. lt has greatly aided in school activities, especially during the Homecoming celebration. As the further introduction of a four year course ought to advance the importance of this club, next fall promises to open a banner year for this organization.

M iss Carver Since the organization of the Primary-Grammar Grade Club in the fall of 1921, its membership has more than doubled. At present it has two hundred twenty members. The purposes of the club are to establish a friendly and helpful unity of feeling among the individuals of this group. to further their training in leadership, and to inspire a greater interest in their professional preparation. This club consists of girls who are being trained to do a very important work in the educational system of the state. There are no students in the school who more truly realize their responsibility than the Primary-Grammar Grade girls. A number of very pleasant social hours have been spent to- gether. The lirst event was a mixer given by the seniors for the purpose of welcoming the juniors to the La Crosse Normal School. A program consisting of music and readings was given, and refresh- ments were served. The party closed with an hour of dancing. Later in the fall a hike to Grandad Bluff was enjoyed by a large number of girls. At the summit they found bushels of apples and peanuts awaiting them, Mr. Lyon having been kind enough to deliver the goods in advance. And who could forget that Christmas party, with its beautiful Christmas trees, its modern Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus bringing gifts to all, and those delicious home-made cakes made by our own home girls? An excellent program helped to make the evening one long to be remembered. ' Wie have had a happy and a profitable year.

Robert Nohr, Jr. Another successful season of the L Club has passed, and again we must turn backward to glance at the work of this organi- zation. This is the second year that the L Club has been organ- ized and functioning as a school organization. The club is com- posed of all students in school who have earned a letter in either athletics or forensics and the respective coaches of each branch. The most momentous work of the club, this year, was the sponsoring of the Hrst annual I-lomecoming. Much credit is due to Harry Hutchins, president of the club, and football captain-elect, and Robert Nohr, jr., for the careful planning and preparation to make the Homecoming a success. The undertaking of this work by the L Club has' established a precedent in which the L Club will be responsible for all future Homecomings. Near the end of the year the LH Club gave its second annual formal, which was attended and enjoyed by many alumni and townspeople, who now look to the L Club as one of the school's strongest organizations.

The men who participated in the fall tourna- ment automatically became charter members of the club. The purpose of the club is to promote and place tennis on an equal basis with the other athletic sports of the school. The game has always been a popular sport with the students, and since tennis has become a required unit in the regular physical education course many students will be attracted to the game. Membership is not limited, and all men in the school are eligible to membership. The Mcn's Tennis Club emphasized their origin last September by putting on a tournament. The following men entered the tourna- ment : Birks, Nohr, Shields, Severson, Jorgensen, Vllulk, I-leishman, liauman. Christenson, Glass, Wiestphal, Kepler, Murphy, McKay, Fisher and Malin. Birks fought his way to the finals by defeating Nohr, .lorgensen and Severson, while Fisher accomplished the same feat by eliminating Xhlulk, Bauman and McKay. In the finals Birks vanquished Fisher 6-4 and 6-4. In November the club put on a dance in the large gymnasium which was a great success from both the standpoint of entertainment and finances. The funds will be used in buying tennis supplies and will be devoted to any other purpose or need connected with the club. Several tournaments are being planned in the spring in addition to matches with Columbia College, Ripon College, and Oshkosh Normal. E E' 90 THE: RACQUET W N624 We J? E E' .......' l'i' FOIIEIISICI ii' THE RACQUET Debate Une of the very most active of the school activities this year was debating, which was heartily supported by the entire student body. XVith men like Eldon Mulder. Wfilliam Voss, and Kenneth Zahrte, all seasoned debaters, as a nucleus about which to build our team, a big year in this scholastic endeavor was anticipated. The question for debate this year was: Resolved, that the Federal gov- ernment should own and operate the coal mines of the United States. Sixteen students, thirteen men and three women, tried out on the twenty-first of November. Of the sixteen who tried out, the eight chosen to represent the school were: Arnold Christensen, Arthur lilenderson, Lillian jadock, Eldon Mulder, Milton Stoen, XVilliam Voss, Kenneth Zahrte, and Amy Ziegweid. The large number trying out and the keen competition made it possible for the judges to select the very best talent for Mr. Goff, the coach, to shape into effective debating teams. The affirmative team, consisting of Eldon Mulder, Milton Stoen. Kenneth Zahrte. and Arthur I-lenderson, alternate, remained at home to meet the Stevens Point aggregation, while the negative team. composed of Arnold Christensen, Amy Ziegweid, Wlilliam Voss, and Lillian -ladock, alternate, went to Oshkosh to meet one of the most bitter rivals of La Crosse. Here at home the debate was opened before a capacity audience of intensely interested and enthusiastic students and townspeople by Milton Stoen, who put over a speech of clear, reasonable argu- ment. The first speaker for Stevens Point, a woman of ability, began immediately in her speech to show the clashing of points which characterized the debate throughout, and which held the audience in delighted suspense during the evening. In continuing the debate for the home team, Mr. Zahrte placed his contention squarely before the audience in his own peculiarly convincing and weighty manner, which was at its best. The next debater for Stevens Point gave a speech which, from the course which the debate had taken. was rather out of harmony with the argument and did not carry much weight. ,In concluding the case for La Crosse. Eldon lylulder presented a mighty argument with an A 4 1 El E1 CO Mulder Zahrte GoFf,Coach Henderson Steen Christensen Ziegwcid Iadock Voss NJ J.Ell l0DVH 3H.l. El El 7 ' 4 THE RACQU ET earnestness and fire which, beyond a doubt, put fear into the hearts of the opposing team. The concluding speaker for the negative made a praiseworthy effort. The rebuttal was stronger on the part of each alhrmative speaker than that of the negative, and the way in which Milton Steen, making his first appearance for the Normal School, threw his whole energy into his rebuttal will long be remembered by that audience. Everyone felt that the home team had won, but, nevertheless, waited in suspense for the decision of the judges, which, when announced, was unanimous for the affirmative. lt was a happy group of students who engaged in the dance celebrating the occasion, and it was with great pleasure that the students listened to the Stevens Point coach, Mr. Burroughs, corn- pliment La Crosse on its reception for them and on its turnout for the debate. Wfhen the message from Oshkosh was delivered there was a feeling of disappointment, for it was learned that our team there had lost two to one. This feeling of disappointment soon changed to one of pride, for that team, it was soon learned, was the only negative team in the district that had received the decision of a judge. La Crosse thereby won the district championship and the right to represent the district in the contest for the state cham- pionship. The aflirmative team went to XVhitewater, while the negative team remained at home to meet the team from Superior, winner in the northern district. Again a large audience packed the audi- torium, and again it was not disappointed. NVilliam Voss was once more in action before a La Crosse audience, while Arnold Christen- sen and Amy Ziegweid were proving their ability in argument. Once more the home team won by a unanimous decision, and once more the small gym presented a scene of happy celebration. Fate seemed to be playing with uncanny consistency, for it was learned that ou1' aftirmative at Wfhitewater had lost unanimously. Both the ahirmative and negative teams had the satisfaction of winning a debate unanimously, and, besides, of placing second in the state debate conference. La Crosse Normal School reviews with satisfaction its achieve- ment in debate this year, and is only waiting for another oppor- tunity to prove its worth in the coming year. N. I THE RACQUET Ort-itorq ay NVILLIAM H. VOSS The oratorical contest that was held at the La Crosse Normal School on january fifteenth was one of the best of its kind. There were four contestants for the Lions Club Forensic Medal and for the opportunity to represent the local school at the State Oratorical Contest. Thomas Dowling' spoke on The Spirit of Rooseveltf, Cleo Smith. on Our 'New God, Materialism, Dorothea Fox, on the Enforcement of Prohibition, and Vifilliam Voss, on The Iron Demon. Mr. Voss's oration, The Iron Demon, presented a powerful plea for the liberation of the laboring' men from subjection to the machine. He pointed out how the cause of unrest among the workers was due to the curbing of their natural instincts. This oration won first place, making Mr. Voss the recipient of the medal and the representative of La Crosse at the state contest. Cleo Smith presented an oration full of fine sentiment and inspiration. His oration, Our New God, Materialism. won second place. On March twentieth the La Crosse delegation, composed of Mr. Voss, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Wialters, the coach, appeared in Vifhitewater accompanied by a quartet. the members of which were: Mr. Leeder, Miss Miller, Miss Ross, Mr. Russell, and Miss Foxwell, accompanist. The Wfhitewater students extended a very cordial welcome and proved to be most entertaining hosts. On the afternoon of the following day the extemporaneous speaking contest was held. First place went to Mr. Wfright of Oshkosh. La Crosse had no representative for this work, but plans are being made to participate in the future. The oratorical contest in the evening' was one of very superior quality. First place was won by Miss -leanette XVilson of Stevens Point: her oration was The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Deep YVaterway. Already the oratorical contest for next year is being discussed in a way that presages a big year for oratory in 1925. E 3 f F-fg- l. H ll .

To have a musical organization appear in the assembly, which occurred frequently. was always a treat to the students. Since the work of this department covers such a wide range of activities, a large number of students have taken advantage of the opportunity to become members of at least one of the organizations. The success of the department is in a large way due to the untiring efforts of Professor Joseph A. Leeder, who is now com- pleting his second year as Super- visor of Music. Mr. Leeder is an . . inspiring and encouraging director. with capacity for organizing and holding the groups together, that has always been a leading charac- teristic of his work. A spirit of harmony exists between all musical organizations: and co-operation with all other school activities is the aim and ideal of this department, Again, as last year, the band was the best of its kind in the state, and was the most democratic, loyal, and, willing organization in the school. The girls' glee club was the best in - , the history ofthe school, and among its members were to be found some MR- JOSEPH I-EEDER possessors of remarkable voices. The men's glee club, although slightly smaller in number than that of the previous year, was much better and developed considerably during the year. The orchestra, although seldom heard from, was by no means a poor one, Some very difficult selections were mastered by this organization, and it should be a feature next year. Following the success of the opera, Martha, which was given last year, the operatic number, The Chimes of Normandy, was staged this year with even greater success. Although the staging of an opera is a large undertaking, it was very well done and showed the results of intensive rehearsal and study. A novelty program was given one evening in February when all the musical organizations gave a radio concert. XX-'hile this was a lirst attempt and a new experiment, it was a pronounced success, and if encouraged in the future, should be the best kind of an advertisement for the school. A Christmas Cantata was also featured by both glee clubs shortly before Christmas. Impressive- ness was the chief feature of this remarkable program. It is earnestly hoped that the success of the department this year will serve as an inspiration for the future, and that more students will be encouraged to take part in its activities.

Walter Schumann Secretary and Treasurer,.. .. VVilliam Milbrandt The aim of the band this year was to play for quality rather than quantity, to show both the members and the students that a baud can have another mission than merely to make noise. Re- hearsals were held regularly two evenings a week, and a number of difficult selections were mastered in a short time. The repertoire included operatic selections of Gilbert and Sullivan, Nevin's Suite, A Day in Venicefi Kings Princess of India, and also a number of other classical selections, marches, and novelty numbers. At regular intervals during the year and at different places in the city the band gave excellent programs, and also co-operated with other departments in putting over successful activities. At all athletic events, from football parades to basketball games, the band took the lead in supplying pep and enthusiasm. Since so much time was spent in putting on short programs and in assisting other organizations, no great concert program was given during the ycarg but in assembly and at numerous other occasions short programs were given. Outdoor programs on the school campus were the order as soon as the weather permitted. .In order to show the people in neighboring cities and towns what the school is doing in music, a number of short trips into neighboring communities, where short concerts were held, were car- ried out by the band in May. On all these occasions the programs met with remarkable Commendation and approval. A feature of the band work is that it affords every student an opportunity to participate and learn the fundamentals. Individual instruction on any band instrument is given by a student, and a large number of students avail themselves of this opportunity. As soon as the fundamentals are mastered, these pupils are allowed to take their place in the band. Although this year will mark the graduation of many band members, among them some who have given three years of service, it is expected that next year the success of the band will be con- tinued or even carried on to a greater extent.

Arnold Christensen Secretary .. .. . Howard XVartinlJee The Men's Glee Club was organized this year with a definite purpose in view. The number of members was purposely kept small, but the members were faithful and energetic. It became evident early in the year that the organization was to be one of merit. Numerous appearances in assembly were very well received, showing that this group was a favorite among the students. On a large number of occasions the lVlen's Glee Club was very well received. both when appearing alone, and also in conjunction with the Cirls' Glee Club. W'hile a number of the members were remarkably good soloists, the majority of them were men with a small amount of experience, but through patience and endeavor they developed during the year into very good performers. Every member had an opportunity to show his worth and some were found with very good voices, who previously had not been given an opportunity.- A feature of the musical activities of the year were some selections which were sung by the Mens Glee Club and accompani- ment was played by the band. For the work on the opera, The Chimes of Normandyf' Mr. Leeder began early. Four or five of the best soloists were given leading parts, and much time was spent in practice. The opera is the big event of the year for the glee clubs, but requires a great deal ol practice and eifort. lt is planned next year to increase the membership of this organization, and with a number of the present members back next year to form a nucleus, another successful glee club is assured.

A num- ber of members of last year returned, and a surprising number of new girls with marked talent appeared in the organization. The girls were very energetic and loyal, and did much to make the organization a success. There were a large number on the waiting list throughout the year. Early in the year the girls began appearing on various ocea- sions, and each time met with a great deal of favorable comment. Their work in the Christmas Cantata was especially commendable, the different sections being very well balanced. XVhen the time came for the choice of the solo parts for the opera, The Chimes of Normanclyfl Mr. Leeder was at a loss to know which girls to choose. There were a number of girls with very good voices, causing keen competition for the coveted place. However, the leading singers were chosen, and the glee club went through a long period of practice, which was eventually successful. The fine spirit of loyalty shown by the Girls, Glee Club this year was a revelation, and should serve as an inspiration to the organizations of future years. Mr. Leeder should be commended for his splendid work with the organization.

H oward Schuren Secretary Edward Tomsicek One of the most difficult tasks confronting the head of the music department is to develop a good orchestra. Yet this was accomplished this year. A number of good violinists responded to the call and cast aside all fears of a weak string section. The brass section was especially strong, and was composed of some experienced players. A Besides appearing at numerous times in assembly, and assisting in several programs, the orchestra went to work very early at the task of playing the accompaniment for the opera, The Chimes of Norniandyfl That this difficult feat was accomplished, and was well done, is in itself a worthy achievement, and speaks well for the hard work of the members of the organization. Of all the organizations in the school, this one receives less attention and commendation, and it is hoped that as the orchestra becomes better in ability, it will appear more frequently before the students, and will take its place as a leading musical activity.

The Chimes of Normanclq Following the splendid success of the opera, Martha, last year, it was decided to stage a similar event this year. After con- siderable time had been spent in searching for an opera suitable to the available soloists, The Chimes of Normany was chosen. Com- petition for the leading parts was keen, and the choice of the soloists was by no means an easy matter. lfVork on the opera was begun in February, and progressed rapidly. Much to the disappointment of the students and especially the musical organizations, it was learned 'that no playhouse in which to stage the opera was available. It was then decided to put on the opera in concert form in the Normal School auditorium late in May. Judging from the energy displayed by the glee clubs and orchestra, the success of the event is assured, and it will provide a fitting close to a successful year in musical activities. The purpose of the opera is to show that, by patient and long practice, the glee clubs and orchestra can put on a production which is really worth while, as well as perform the usual functions of such organizations.

It is one of the old- fashioned Norman villages of the seventeenth century. ln the First act, the curtain rises on an assemblage of village gossips, discussing scandal and small talk. Serpolette, a cross be- tween Fanchon and Boulotte, is the topic of conversation among the bells of Corneville. She comes in just in time to turn the tables on the others, and changes their taunts infto expressions of rage. Gaspard, an old miser, wishes to marry his niece, Cermaine, to the principal magistrate of the district, the Bailli. This arrangement does not suit Germaine, nor a young fisherman named jean Greni- cheux, who pretends that he has saved her life from drowning on a certain occasion. To escape from the power of old Gaspard, Ger- maine takes advantage of the privilege of the fair ta similar scene to that in the first act of Marthal'j, and becomes the servant of the Marquis. I-ler example is followed by Grenicheux and Serpolette. The second act is taken up with the supernatural visitors who have made the Castle of Corneville so long an object of dread. Henri determines to End out the real character of these ghostly appear- ances, and discovers that it is all the work of the old miser, who has concealed his treasures in the chateau. The discoverey drives Gase pard crazy, especially when he hears the bells of the chateau ringing for the lirst time since the flight of the old Marquis. The third act represents the grand fete given in honor of the return of Henri to his ancestral home. Serpolette arrives as a Marchioness, as some papers, found in the chateau, indicate that she is the lost heiress. The miser, however, recovers his reason, and shows that Germaine is the true Marchioness. A love duet between her and Henri, and the reconciliation of all the parties, brings the romantic story to a close.

Matt Prijanovich Maid ................................ Lois Byers Coach, Mr. Coate The Buskin Club chose for its annual play to be presented before the school the three act comedy, Cousin Kate, by Hubert Henry Davies, which was presented in the auditorium on VVednesday evening, February 27, 1924. A large audience was present and the play was very well received. Perhaps the most striking characteristic of the way the play was put on is the fact that it was unlike most amateur productions. The actors were free and easy in their movements, being entirely at ease on the stage, and none of the stiffness and tenseness which marks the usual amateur production were present. The credit for this and for a great deal of the success of the affair is due to Mr. Coate, who proved himself an able and efficient coach of dramatics. Cousin Kate, the leading roll of the play, was Bllecl by Miss Jessie Mulder. She was easily the outstanding figure of the affair. The naturalness with which she acted, as well as the vividness she gave the part, made her acting of the part a pronounced success. Miss Alice Johnsons playing of Amy Spencer is worthy of comment because of the true to life way in which it was done. Miss Johnson was Well chosen for the part. Miss Irene Bjerklien, as Mrs. Spencer, played a part to which she is particularly adapted, and drew much favorable comment for her sympathetic portrayal of an anxious mother. Miss Lois Byers, as the maid, played her part in an appropriate way. H Is fi THE RACQUET Mr. Matt Prijanovich, as Heath Desmond, the leading man, showed a great deal of talent and played the roll opposite Miss Mulder with a high degree of realism. Mr. l-loward Temte was very well chosen for the character, Brother Bobby, and did justice to the roll. Mr. Val Schmohl drew rounds of applause in interpreting the part of Reverend james Bartlett as a prospective suitor. His was the humorous roll of the play, and it was done to perfection. The Buskin Club annual play is always one of the best school attractions of the year, and the play this year was no exception. Especial credit is due Mr. Coate for his remarkable choice of the characters, each of whom was particularly fitted for his or her part. The story of the play, which is in three acts, deals with the daughter, Amy, of a widow, Mrs. Spencer. Amy is about to be married, and, having quarreled with the man she is to marry, has sent him away and never expects to see him again unless she calls him back. A disturbing situation arises by the fact that wedding presents are arriving for the two, while the family knows that the affair has been broken. Bobby, a brother of Amy's, is quite concerned by the event and thinks that he ought to beat Heath Desmond for leaving his sister. The family has always depended more or less upon the sane head of Cousin Kate, and she is sent for. Cousin Kate arrives and is very much excited by the chance acquaintance she made of a man on the train. Cousin Kate is a sensible type of woman and very businesslike, and the family finds it difficult to believe that she has had this adventure with a man. Kate, who wants to be alone, offers to go over and air the house, Awlscatt, whicl' was to have been the home of Amy and Heath. Wlhile she is at the house the stranger whom she met on the train also comes there. During their stay at the house they fall in love with each other, but neither of them reveals his or her identity. The climax of the play is reached in the third act when Heath returns to the house. I-Ie discovers the true identity of Cousin Kate. The situation is a humorous one and finally the affair is patched up by having Amy marry the minister. whom she really loves more than Heath after all. Cousin Kate and Heath then become engaged.

Work on the play began shortly after Easter vacation,Vand with such an able coach and promising cast it is expected that the play this year will be no exception in success to those produced in former years. A boomerang is an Australian instrument of warfare, which, if thrown skillfully, goes out in a large circle, returning to strike behind the thrower. If, however, it is thrown by an unskilled hand, it often returns and strikes the unsuspecting thrower. It is for this reason that the title to The Boomerang was chosen. A blow sent out to strike another person was returned unexepectedy to the thrower. The play concerns itself mainly with a lovefsick young man and a young physician. Bud'l VVooclbridge is the victim of a heartless young beauty, Grace Tyler. Bud', woos her in the old eloquent, self-sacrihcing manner and loses ground doing so. In fact, he very nearly has a complete nervous breakdown when his physician takes a hand in the situation and gets his mind off the adored one and her careless cruelty by telling the young man that he is a victim of germs. In a month's time the physician agrees to effect a cure, and he does it by placing a beautiful nurse in charge of the foolish swain and playing the girl's jealousy against the nurse as an antidote to bring the girl to time, for she really cares of Bud.', lncidentally, the physician falls in love with the nurse, who turns out to be an heiress. The spectacle of young Wloodbridge, -the charming nurse and the sur- prise party at the end of the second act, in which the heartless coquette, Grace, is made to suffer the pangs she had been inflicting on a really worthy young suitor, affords a great amount of genuine comedy. The play is full of the spirit of youth, and its scenes are cleverly devised.

Moreover, a game with Lawrence had been scheduled, and such an event warranted big doings. X-Vell, we had the big doings all right! Letters, posters and newspaper announcements informed the alumni of the extensive plans their Alma Mater was making for their entertainmentg a pep assembly on Thursday was devoted to practicing school yells and songsg a special edition of the Racquet Weekly gave alumni notes, highlights on the La Crosse and Lawrence teams, the program of events and other news of especial interest to our guests.

Main, State and Vine street houses bravely displayed the Lawrence and La Crosse colors, a prize being offered to the two most artistically decorated domicilsg local merchants also put on a holiday aspect. An extensive sale of tickets was launched, each student being a salesman. All this, however, was only the prelude to the I-lome-coming. The stage was set and the audience was in a fever of anticipationg the curtain went up Thursday night, disclosing the honorary ban- quet given by the Physical Education students for Dr. Carl Sputh, founder of their department in this school, and one of the most distinguished of our returned sons. The gun had been liredg we were off! Friday night saw the annual pep meeting around a mammoth bonfire in the lot opposite the school. Songs, speeches, yelling, snake dances, the march down town, red lights, the band, more yells, the Rivoli rush-and fun for everyone. Houses and stores along our line of march were resplen- dent with blue and white and the old maroon and gray. .lt was a gala night, indeed! The hobo parade was perhaps the most fun-provoking feature of the entire program. Only the men student were eligible for membership in Hobodom, and they surely were initiated properly. Arriving down town at noon, this fantastic parade received more attention than that of a seven-ring circus of old. Everyone was there from the hayseed couple on their honeymoon, through the little German brass band tincluding the houndj, Spark Plug, clowns, dudes, and just plain bums, to the little boy who came home from swimmin' in a barrel.

First honorable mention was given to George Gordon, while Volney Hansen and his German hand received second honorable mention. It is hard to narrow the feature event down to one phase of the I-lonie-coming program, but perhaps the La Crosse-Lawrence game , X X f X . X ' I I 4 !,,f F Q i C 1.

The uniformed hand, the alumni, and the students lmany still in weird costumesj, invaded the bleacher 100 per cent strong and 200 per cent enthusias,tic. Besides the unusually vigor- ous yelling and singing, each course put on a stunt: There was the GiraH'e Spark Plug race, new and clever songs, and even a mock football game between the Lawrence Clowns and the La Crosse Bums. All we can hear about that Lawrence game is that it was SOME game and we're mighty proud to have won. H ff THE RACQUET Our victory of the afternoon only added zest to the remaining events. The alumni banquet at six-thirty was a most successful and enjoyable affair, with speeches,.jollity and renewed acquaintances. The evening witnessed the big dance in the gorgeously deco- rated g-yFhimsium. XVill you ever forget that bower of gloriously colored autumn leaves, with the huge maroon and gray out at either end of the gym? Or the squeal of delight with which the Sholes' House girls receivejl lirst prize for their clever decorating, and the howl with which the'Reay House boys ran forward to claim second prize? Oh, without a doubt, that beautiful dance is a never- to-be-forgotten memory, with its good music and wealth of gaiety. So, at eleven-thirty Saturday night, after three full days of celebration and pep, the First annual H ome-coming of the La Crosse State Normal School came to a close, literally speakingg but in reality the joyful event will live on and onnin the memories of the hundreds of people who helped to put it across and who derived so much pleasure from it. at tire W I E E W fWfWfW My aww W W jk? 2 A -fL f ' fgfMj WW ff My MWJQ. ' A . 'D THE RACQUET Humor BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION Life is a mirror and some people are grinning at it all the time. If one ob- serves what amuses people, a good and safe conclusion can be drawn as to the personality and character of that person. It certainly is difficult for me to lay aside 1ny dime novel and attempt to apologize for what may be written in this book. It is hard for the wits of this school to compete with those who have been writ- ing joke hooks for the Sears, Roebuck and Company for many years. CThe reader will pardon me. I will write a poem. Mr. Sandburg has indeed called forth some of my hidden talentj INhen I2arth's last joke is cracked, And joke hooks are covered with mould, And the long-feared 'wits' are bygones, And satire the horrors of old, Wle shall rest, and faith we shall need it- I.ie down for an aeon or two. Let us hope comedians do no go to heaven And set us to laugh anew! If I should live to be ninety years or so, I can think of no better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than to take this Annual and wobble to the top of Gran- dad BluH and look at the sacred pages of this book. I am sure that in a broken and piping voice I would utter a great eulogy over the ones who tried to write this humor department. In fact it would be well if we all could make pilgrimages hack to the summit of Grandad Bluff. As we pass the campus a new generation would be loaling underneath the campus trees. It may be that they will smile as they see an aged person with an Annual beneath his arm hiking toward the sum- mit of Grandad BILIH. They would shake their head and sadly murmer, I-Ie is old, but has young ideas. Now I am not bragging about the wonderful things in this book, I have merely said that Father Time increases the value of anything. There comes to my mind a young man that tried to convince everybody that he was a person of unsurpassed ability in his line. I-Ie remarked the other day that he could swim better than any per- son in town. So can a bull-frogf' re- plied a cynic. I can kick higher than any man I know,',- And so can a mule, interrupted the same cynic. ' And more than all these, everybody says I am a handsome man. And so is a brass statue, and it has neither life nor brains. It is clear to me after hearing such a conversation that I must convince every person that the humorist in these pages is not surpassing everybody in what he is trying to do. It is a fact that as the world twists and turns, we must twist with it. The mirror of Life reflects a rather gloomy picture, and in some cases I think the mirror actually breaks. A stygian gloom seems to fall over the road of life. Let us then strike our harps in praise of him who has attempted to make us see humor, who has tried to make us smile. Humor should not smack of the vulgar-he who laughs at the vulgar is yet in the early stage of human development. If a man has not a well balanced head he should part his hair in the middle. I did this and it helped me very much in securing better grades. Many believed that I changed my mode of hair dressing to conform with style. I knew a young THE RACQUET man who closed his hands so tight he forgot to open them when the contribu- tion box was passed. These two cases show how easy it is to pass erroneous judgment. Do not pass too hasty judg- ment on these efforts. In all my travels Cincluding Xlfestbyj I have found no person having any bet- ter judgment than an old grandmother that lives in the rustic country district. VVhen I come to see her granddaughter on Saturday night, we usually make some old-fashioned molasses candy and play the old phonograph records. The old grandma soon puts her specks away, pulls down the shades and leaves! Bless her soul, she had judgment. It may be that she was once young and under- stands. Wfhat a fool a student is in all cases. He riseth early and sitteth up late that he may one day till his barns and store houses, and lo! his lawyers in time divide his spoils and say, I-Ia, I-Ia! Their sense of humor is correct, they laughg let us do likewise. My landlord growleth because my light is not out, the frost biteth my Fingers, and you fain would like to see what these pages have in store for you. Again I will write some more poetry as I can feel it coming on all over me: lN7hen Eartlfs last lesson is recited. And the books are covered with dust, And school and profs are bygones, And pens are covered with rust, VVe shall rest, and faith we shall need it! Lie down for an aeon or two. I wish when I get to heaven, I can read 'The Racquet' anew. COMA OF KLONDIKE OR YUKON LOVE QH. L. s. and T. M. ap In far off North where snow is deep, VVhere men are men, moonshine won't keep. VVhere winds are cold and blood is red They search for gold. Their brains are dead. It's there we find the real romance In hellish holes of song and dance. There, too, we find a lassie sweet, The beautiful daughter of drunken Pete. Her hair is red, her cheeks are pink. I-Ie looks at her and drinks a drink. They call her Coma and all confess It's because of her unconsciousness. Her life is drab, she cries, Good I-Ieckl My kingdom for a man to neck. She longs for a lover, whose kiss is sweet To protect her down on Hades Street. She prays to Stacomb, God of Love. She gets no answer from above. One day while she was mending sox She heard a footstep, a couple of knocks. She sweetly called, You dog! Come in l In walked a miner, soused with gin. I-lis face was pallid, then turned red NVhen he to startled Coma said: I bear sad news to you, my gel. Your father's soul has gone to Heaven, The poor girl's face was drawn and white, As .white as snow on a moonlight night. My God! she cried, You mean he's dead? ' You said a mouthful, the miner said. The poor girl looked as though to faint Then saw the floor was all fresh paint. She seized a flask, drank tiendishly And shed some tears, two quarts or three. You're all alone, the miner said. Who'll pay the taxes, buy you bread? The poor girl longed for silks and lace, Should she stroke his hand or slap his face? She needed love, but he looked cold, 'Twas the ancient question, love or gold? But she decided then and there She hadn't better give him the air. She slaps a kiss flat on his face She starts to love. He keeps the pace. I-Ie had the gold and he could loveg Stacomb had answered from above. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF- Pres. Cotton forgot to say inouncements? Tom Dowling forgot to argue?

Wfhat a foolish ques- tion. Wlho wantls to buy a ticket when you do not know if it is a ticket to a dog fight or a grand opera? At least twenty persons asked me that question. Buy a ticket? This time a girl asked me the same question. No, I thundered. But THE RACQU ET and I arose and started to leave the room. Some person grabbed me and told me that if I left before the concert was over it would mean I had to pay a dollar. I then saw the reason for paying such a low admission fee. It was from the persons leaving that the profit came flowing.

Oh!', she exclaimed, let me fix your stick-pin, and she fixed it. She then came up closer and looked up into my eyes, and I forgot myself. I think you would be a dear, if you bought this ticket. I bought the ticket. I read as follows: Band Concert. Normal School. Admit One. Price IOC. I came early to the concert. The boys were trying to tune up their instruments. It did not please me. Now, boys, if you do not get ready soon, I will give you a good scolding. That set the boys in action. There was something doing now. The first selection discouraged me 1 grew serious. The musicians started to take notice of what they were doing. The band leader sniffed the air-perhaps it was the aroma from the cafeteria that distracted him. Again the leader sniffed the air and the boys in white shivered. They started to play. Music pictures things. The moonlight came and shone on the grave-yards-it got dark, and the weird wind moaned and wept. There was nothing in the world left to live for. I heard the church bells ring over the distant hills, and every candle in heaven was lit. A few ghosts sat down on the tombstones and started to weep. I felt like preaching a sermon. All of a sudden the leader started to wave his hands. He waved and jerked and stamped. There was war-it seemed as if every Viking warrior from Valhalla was lighting against all the Indians of the I-lappy Hunting Grounds. Napoleon had a chat with Alexander the Great, and then it was real lighting. Qjust at this point the leader gave signals to the drummers and basses.j The cannons roared-the shells poured, bombs, bat- teries, shrieking shrapnel: ljsignals to trombonej Napoleon gained two inches- Alexander tackled the wrong man- Nero gained with left wing. Cannons became over-heated and burst-supplies of dynamite exploded. livery regiment gained-the noble six hundred plunged into the hordes of Ghenis Kahn. Then it was more than I could stand, tsignals to cornetsj, King Tut shouted, Wie shall not let them pass. Caesar and Brutus lost ten yards, and tsignals to clarinetsj Bang! The next selection closes the program, was the calm announcement. The music started to make real pictures to mc. The next tune made me feel like a little boy again. I was a freckle faced lad carrying eggs to the country store, and l was having an allowance of two cents to buy candy. There seemed to be a squirrel in every trap, and fish were so hungry they thought the bare hook just delicious. lt seemed as if I was king of the world. l could eat all the green ap- ples ,l longed for and never get sick. lt was real music. I was surprised when a flood of soap water came from -lack Schuren's trom- bone-the concert came to a sudden end. Several of the French dresses were stained by the soap water. And to see the ladies weeping in anguish over the ruined dresses was enough to break the heart of a criminal. Twenty years have now passed. Time changes all things and men, thus spoke Euripides the Greek football tackle. It is true. I had journeyed back to La Crosse Normal to revisit some of the old memory spots. v lt is said a person likes certain places because pleasing memories are associated with them. A new gen- eration were studying t?j underneath the campus trees now. 'Crosse Tribune! Leader-Press! H THE RACQU ET sang the newsboys. In large head-lines that startled me I read the graphic ex- planation of the excitement of a deacon in Mormon holding a revival meeting Coulee. I took a Ford flivver and drove out to Mormon Coulee. I realized that I was fast approaching the time of sans wine, sans singer, sans all -that per- haps the revival meeting would do some good for me. The conductor of the re- vival meeting proved to be none other than jack Shuren. After listening to the eloquent exhortations I noticed a person greatly affected. He was too wicked-there was no mercy for him. VVhy, what crime have you commit- ted? said the revival conductor. Have you stolen? More than that! Murder, is it? gasped the horrified preacher. VVorse than that! groaned the sin- ner. Here, shouted the excited Schuren, hold my coat--I've found the man who poured the soap water in my trombone when I played at the Normal concert.

H -A Senior. ,A An old English farmer wished to bor- row S2000 to pay a mortgage on his farm. He went to a certain Hebrew and stated what he wanted. The Hebrew consented to loan him the money at nine per cent interest. lVhy, Abief' said the astonished farmer. nine per cent is too much. Don't you know it's wicked to charge more than six per cent. Remember the good Lord sees all you do on this earth. To this Abie replied, Yes, but ven the l.ord looks down, von't the nine per cent look like a six per cent? 1924 THE RACQUET PARADISE LOST The Great Mystery was about to be solved! Most of my life had been spent in speculating upon what lay in the dim beyond. I had feverishly devoured every text on religion and spiritualism, flitting from this theory to that, but the dark secret was still shrouded in ob- scurity. But now I was upon the thresh- old of a new life, and I was overcome with a curious feeling of mingled antici- pation and dread. One moment more and all my doubts would be ended! I sank back upon the couch, a blanket of darkness folded slowly around me, and I felt an overpowering surge of spirit within me, resembling a gigantic tidal wave in its irresistible onrush. I seemed to be hurled through space at a tremendous velocity. This sensation soon passed away and I seemed to be Boating gently through the darkness. Suddenly my feet touched a Hrm surface. and instantly everything became bright with a light much more intense and yet less glaring than that of the sun. A few hundred yards before me lay a magnifi- cent city, entirely surrounded by an in- surmountable wall. I was standing upon what seemed to be a highway leading to the gates of a city, if I may call it a city. It resembled a park as much as a cityg one might imagine a thousand cathedrals erected in the Garden of Eden and still have only a drab sketch of what my eyes beheld. The other three sides of the city dropped abruptly downward to an in- calculable depth. The wall, therefore. seemed to serve as a screen rather than a means of defense. I walked slowly and dubiously toward the gates. As I drew near, I saw that everything was teeming with human life, but industry there was none-everyone was engaged in some sort of light- hearted play. A group of girls were dancing about a great tree. One of them appeared to be the queen of the division. She was clothed in a filmy veil which draped beautifully about her shapely head. The rest of them were dressed exactly the same way, except that they didn't wear the veil. Of the men's activi- ties I took no particular notice, but I observed that they wore some outlandish form of Oriental robe. For the first time I noticed a wizened little bearded man standing at the gates. He beckoned me over to him and asked for my credentials. I am not egoistic as a rule, but I felt a dash of pardonable pride as I passed over the scroll. My credentials were good 5-I had copied them from my tombstone before I left. As he read the script, his countenance became torn with fury. Dog of a Christian! he sputtered, what dost thou here to affront the children of Allah with thy foul presence? At a signal from him a horde of mounted spearsmen dashed out through the gates. I grabbed my fatal letter of recommendation and ran for my life with the blood-thirsty cavalcade at my heels. I had not gone far until I reached the edge of this strange world. I shut my eyes and hopped blindly off into space. After falling for what seemed ages I came to an abrupt stop and found myself sitting before the gates of another city, the very counterpart of the one of which I had just taken such sudden leave. My self-confidence had received a bad jolt, and it was with some trepidation that I approached the gate keeper. I-Ie proved to be a kindly old man, however. I-Ie put his hand upon my shoulder and told me frankly that he could not admit me because of my Psychic Research work. The same reason, he informed me, would bar me from every heaven created by god or prophet since the world began. I saw that there was no hope. There was but one other place to go. The gate- keeper comfortingly accompanied me to the elevator, and-down I went into- well, you know where I went. Even there I couldnit get past the box office. The gentleman in crimson himself showed me out, on the grounds that I had been unfaithful to him by being a disciple of Conan Doyle and denying the existence of his kingdom. Here was a dilemma. I was stranded out in space, a veritable man without a country and the prospect of remaining so throughout eternity, but hold! In the distance I could distinguish a gradu- ally growing black spot. As it drew nearer, I saw that it was a gigantic steel rocket with several windows and a door E E THE RACQU ET on each side, A man in a blue uniform stuck out his head and shouted, All aboard for Mars. the land of opportuni- ty, a heaven for the oppressed! I gave one glad yell of relief and dove through a window. My entrance seemed to cause a commotion among the other occupants of the coach. Some had risen, but all were staring at me, some in astonish- ment and some in amusement, and every- one was struggling to get a better view. Something seemed peculiar about the seating arrangement, and yet it seemed strangely familiar. The next tive min- utes were the most embarrassing I had ever lived through. Man! I'll never fall asleep in church again! SPRING I stepped out and looked about me. It was Spring and my heart was light within me. The bluebirds weren't sing- ing, but in a IIClg'lIlJO1 S back yard a hen was cackling. The flowers and the fresh green grass weren't out yet either, but what could be more beautiful than the downy whiteness of last winter's snow, peering out from beneath a layer of soot and dirt, framed in a setting of slush and mud? The soft breeze fanned my flushed cheeks, and a thawing icicle fell from the eaves, alighting gently upon my head, and sending a stream of water down the back of my neck. .I walked down the street with swing- ing stride. gazing with pleasant antici- pation at a heavy sky which promised a shower before 1 could reach my destina- tion. As I pondered over this enjoyable prospect, I stepped over the curb and bathed my feet in a pond of ice water formed about a blocked sewer grating. Ah! XVhat a pleasure it is to be alive in the springtime!

THE RACQU ET THE HAUNTED BED-CHAMBER OF KENSINGTON HALL CA Novelette Complete in This Issuej Speaking of ghosts, have I ever told you of the time Harold XVentworth and I spent a night in Kensington Hall? The events of that night have left an impres- sion upon my mind which time cannot efface. I will tell the story exactly as it occurred. pieced together as it later was from incoherent fragments which XYent- worth let fall from time to time. Harold IN'entworth, my life-long friend and companion in all my wander- ings. and I had just leased Kensington I-Iall from Lord Russel. Wle planned to remain there all summer during Russel's stay in Africa. The night before his de- parture, the three of us were smoking in the library. Every possible topic of con- versation had been exhausted and a de- pressing silence settled over the foggy room. Suddenly Russel nervously tossed his cigarette away and without preamble plunged into the story of the I-Iaunted Bed-chamber of Kensington I-Iall. The story made a profound impression upon me, due probably to the lateness of the hour and the entire atmosphere which prevailed about the historic old mansion. XVentworth, however. treated the tale as lightly as possible. In spite of our protestations, he declared his in- tention to spend the night in the haunted chamber. W-'ith W'entworth, to think was to act. I-le prepared to retire at once. Notwithstanding his skepticism. he went to bed with nearly every weapon known to modern warfare close at hand. Russel seemed to be greatly agitated and soon went away. leaving me alone in the great. massively furnished li- brary. I must have fallen asleep in the luxuriously upholstered chair, for the clock in the hall struck two when I was again aware of my surroundings. I listened, but could hear no sound from lN'entworth's room above the library. Meanwhile, Wlentworth was sleeping in fancied security. Suddenly he awoke. Vllhat it was that had awakened him, he could not say. After lying awake for a moment or two. he sensed something peculiar about the room. I-Ie felt a grip- ping, growing dread. The very silence was oppressive. The darkness and silence of the tombs filled all space. Now and then a beam of moonlight would Find its way through a rift in the clouds and steal unobtrusively across the foot of the bed. The room seemed to be till- ing with some strange, heavy gas. I-Iorror-stricken, he sat bolt upright in bed. There upon the foot of the bed, in the very path of the elusive beam of moonlight, rested a deathly white hand. The body of the creature, if it had a body, was hidden in the darkness. Des- perately he seized a pistol, took careful aim at the hand, and Hred. I heard the shot in the library below, and as I bounded up the stairs I heard the most horrible screams issuing from the haunted chamber. I burst into the room followed by a dozen hastily dressed servants. I turned on a light and glanced hurriedly about me. Wentworth lay convulsed and writhing upon the bed. Except for that. the room looked as though nothing unusual had occurred. I ran over to the bed, grabbed NVent- worth by the shoulder, and shook him. I dared not guess what terrible experi- ence had befallen him. As I untangled his twisted body, the truth was revealed to me. He had blown off his big toe. From that day to this I-Iarold XX'ent- worth has literally been only a remnant of his former self. The collection plate was about to be passed at Sunday School. The young teacher saw an opportunity to test her pupils' knowledge of the Scriptures. She said, Now as each of you drop your penny into the plate I want you to give an appropriate verse from the Briblcf' XVillie offered the lirst contribution: The Lord loveth a cheerful giver. The next sacrifice came from Freddy: I-Ie who giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord.

Rosenberg The woman stands before our eyes, Ne'er one has tried to analyze ,lust what her features really are That look so excellent from afar. 'lint here within these very lines, l'll try to tell with aid of rhymes, The things you've failed to understand, NVhile courting beauty for her hand. Her floating form, as my belief, Reminds me of a fallen leaf, just dropped on earth from up above, Soon carried oft by winds of love. Upon her head she wears a crown Of golden, red, or black, or brown, Perhaps she wasn't born that way, But every color has its day, You now regard her pretty eyes, But little do you realize V That they have lied to quite a few, So surely you'd be nothing new. And then those crescent lips red I-lave caused more tears than one to shed, They've held a cigarette between, T And poured out hes indeed unseen. They've laid their warm and vulturous notes Upon the lips of other goats, And even bathed in liquor too, Ah, what those little lips will do. Her tender skin we oft admire, But rouge and powder they require, How little we know what's beneath That thick e'er beautifying sheath. There she isg a painted lie, l've told you just the reason whyg But love is blind, we all can say, And keep on loving, the same old way. Before the train came pastg He'd miss the engine by an inch And make the train hands sore. There was a man who fancied that, There isn't any more. humanity.

IEB. 1924 ' 6,,.:.- ::,- THE RACQUET CLAYTON A. XVHITNEY ill' THE RACQUET F OREWORD The partaking or the witnessing of an event in actuality brings with it niuch enthusiasm and leaves behind a strong stimulus to ever recurring memories. But ineniory often falters, and the life of the past soon grows cold with advancing years. XVith this fact in mind, the Annual Staff of 1924 has endeavored to preserve in picture and printed form the outstand- ing features of school life during the year. This hook is intended to be of value, not only at its Hrst opening, but in later years.-to vivify the memories that will loom up indistinctly some time hence in the minds of those who are now living the life exemplified within these covers. :if E 7- XLB I THE RACQUET FASSETT A.

We have done our best, We have kept the faith, So at last We have come to our glory As freshmen, we looked ahead To graduation over what seemed An endless, winding road of curves And of obstacles. It took a little More than mere pep to carry on In such a state of mind. But we Bound ourselves to the task before Us. And now the doors are opening To the school of life. It can't be over a month ago that We were freshmen! Well, we are Anxious to go, to meet The test of the world. Yet, leaving Isn't quite so easy as We Thought it would be. You Know, we have been here quite A while, and We rather like Our Normal school family. But we can't be too sentimental, So - Goodbye and Goodluck . B Q THE RACQU ET Albrecht, Margaret ......

Seven prominent schools of the Middle XYest are charter members of this conference, the list including Columbia College, St. Viators College, Luther College, De Paul University, Valparaiso University, NVestern State Normal, and La Crosse Nor- mal. Robert j. Nohr of La Crosse Normal was elected president, and Maurice S. Sheehy of Columbia secretary. Wlalter Eckersall of the Chicago Tribune was appointed in charge of publicity and Major GriHiths was chosen as arbiter. NV,estern State Normal of Kalamazoo, Michigaii, was forced to withdraw because of the long distances between it and other schools of the conference. The object of the new association is to combine representative schools from each of the Five mid-western states into a conference to decide the championship among these states. The conference aims to promote clean athletics in all lines of sport and also to become a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The new conference went on record for supporting various athletics for the entire student body. Each school in the conference must conduct proper classes in physical education. La Crosse has not deserted the Normal Conference in entering the VVestern Intercollegiate. Membership in the new conference will merely enable the Maroon and Gray to test its mettle against schools representing a greater territory than that offered in the State Normal Conference. ' At the last meeting of the representatives it was recommended that St. Olaf's College of Northfield and Loyola University of Chicago be taken into the ranks, thus swelling the number to eight.

E1 9173 3H.l. .LBDCDVH E E The 1923 Football Season The football season of 1923 proved to be one of the most successful in the history of the La Crosse Normal. Departing from the usual custom of regarding other normals as ber most difficult opponents, La Crosse took on such teams as Lawrence, Dubuque, Chicago Y. M. C. A. and Valparaiso University. Pessimists were of the opinion at the beginning of the season that La Crosse would have a poor team. The fact that many stars of the previous year were gone corroborated such an opinion. By using his veterans as a nucleus, Coach Keeler whipped his team into shape, so that in the game with Vtfinona Teachers' College La Crosse came out in the lead by a Z0 to 0 score. VVinona had a team which was far better than usual. Excellent possibilities were now seen in the squad. Two weeks intervened between the Wfinona game and the Cnow his- toricalj Lawrence game. This time was spent in learning new plays- there was never a minute of let-upv in the strenuous practicing. The Lawrence game was to be the important event of our first Homecoming. Never had such spirit been shown. La Crosse greatly surprised the foot- ball fans by winning from Lawrence, 14 to 9. Coming back in the second half after being behind the first half, 9 to O, the Maroon and Gray men pushed over two touchdowns, and only the final whistle prevented a third touchdown. 1 4 'x J ' -Fl THE RACQU ET Columbia was the next barrier, and the spirit that was so apparent in the Lawrence game still prevailed. Columbia was let down without a point. Playing like demons the whole game, the La Crosse team avenged the defeat Columbia had administered last year. The final score was. La Crosse 19, Columbia 0. The next week the Chicago Y. M. C. A. eleven invaded La Crosse for their annual game. lt was predicted that La Crosse would have an easy time with them, because the Chicago team had suffered defeats in the early season. Such was not the case. Playing a lower .standard than any seen that season, the local team won from Chicago 12 to 7. A shoe- string play was cleverly executed by the Chicago quarterback, resulting in a 30 yard pass. A 40 yard run followed, which secured for Chicago her only touchdown. La Crosse played its first Normal Conference game of the season against Milwaukee Normal the following week. Milwaukee, playing the best game of football it had played all season, succeeded in holding La Crosse to a 0 to 0 tie. The Maroon and Gray had the ball down on Milwaukee's 5-yard line eight times, only to lose it as the result of a fumble or a poor pass. Valparaiso, with an impressive list of victories, came to La Crosse on the 9th of November. The La Crosse men played a wonderful game, but were unable to hold their heavier opponents to less than a 14 to 0 score. A Valparaiso player made the remark that it was their hardest game that season. The next week saw the end of the football season. The closing game was with Platteville. The smoothly running La Crosse squad crushed Platteville 17 to 0. In reviewing the season, La Crosse may well be proud of its record. Victories over such powerful teams as are produced by Lawrence. Colum- bia, Chicago Y.M. C.A., and Platteville are achievements Worthy of praise. 2 sg lllg af f THE RACQUET Basketball Captain Glen Brown .3 .3 BASKETBALL SQUAD Keeler, Coach Borgstrom XVI-lcaton VVuIk Fowler Quinn Vilberg, Managgr Huseth Shields Brown, Captain Jorgensen, Captain-elect Jessuppe I EI 'ESE EHJ. .LBFIBDVH E THE RACQUET 1 The 1923-24 Basketball Season Champions of Two Conferences The basketball season of 1923-24, which looked so disastrous at the beginning, turned out to be the most successful season La Crosse has had thus far. The loss of such men as Poscover, Stoneman, Gunderson, Hawkins and Klandrud of last year's team left a large hole in the squad. and not even, the most optimistic could predict anything but a losing team. The hrst game of the season, with Winona Normal, seemed to bear out these predictions, because La Crosse was hardly able to nose out the Minnesotans 28 to 23. lVith only Captain Brown, Shields, Jorgensen and Huseth of last year's squad back, nobody felt guilty in declaring that La Crosse would do well to win one-third of its games. But all assump- tions were made without taking Coach Tubby Keeler into consideration. He developed a new system of defense and several new plays, plays which called for perfect teamwork on the part of each man. Every man responded in characteristic La Crosse spirit to Tubhy's teachings, and the real test of the season came. Milwaukee, whose team was an unknown quantity, was met on the local gymnasium Hoor, and much to the surprise and delight of the La Crosse fans, the Maroon and Gray upset Milwaukee by a 34 to 16 score. The alumni were next on the schedule, but pre- sented nothing in the way of competition and were beaten 41 to 14. In its first game in the Inter-State Conference La Crosse met Luther at Decorah and defeated them 28 to 17 in a closer game than the score indicates. The next game, that with Eau Claire, proved disastrous and was the only one lost all season. The Eau Claire 111611 came down here determined to win the game, and the score, 18 to l7, clearly shows how hard they were pushed in doing it. The lead see-sawed from one team to the other throughout the battle, and in the last 50 seconds, with La Crosse ahead 17 to 16, Qlson, Eau Claire's right forward, got the ball from an out-of-bounds play and sunk the winning basket. This defeat proved to be a help rather than a hindrance, inasmuch as it clearly pointed out the defects and the mistakes of the locals, and was a material help in strengthening our play. NVhen Xllhitewater came up here, three days later, they were easily beaten in a one-sided game, 26 to 14, La Crosse showing all the earmarks of a championship team.

' 1 ' X ' ' H , gg - fm THE RACQUET our second opponent in the new conference, proved to be as strong as was expected, La Crosse winning by only one point, 28 to 27. St. Viators of Bourbonaise, Illinois, came to La Crosse and was beaten 22 to 20 in a game which was not so close as the score indicates. De Paul University of Chicago, our fourth game in the large conference, lost to us 26 to 14. Stout, a team which, because of its win over Oshkosh, was supposed to be one of the strongest teams in the normal conference, was our next foe, but the battle was one-sided throughout. La Crosse Won 31 to 11. XVith La Crosse on top in both conferences and the season two- thirds over, the hardest part of the schedule still remained. VVhitewater, Milwaukee, and Eau Claire were all to be met on their respective floors, and the true test for any La Crosse team is to beat any of these teams on their home floor. Too many times either or all of these teams have proved a Nemesis in La Crosse's quest for a championship. The game at VVhitewater bore out the fact that W'hitewater would do its best against La Crosse, for the game was one of the closest of the season. La Crosse made 15 points to NVhitewater's 12. By this time Tubby's crew had developed into a wonderful machine, and the next night it experienced no difficulty in handing Milwaukee Qwho, by the way, had beaten Oshkosh at Oshkoshj a neat trimming, the score being 32 to 17. The Milwaukee men made most of their points in the last three minutes when Coach Keeler sent in his entire second team. Eau Claire, having won previously from La Crosse, was unable to turn the trick again and a sweet revenge was gotten from the up-state boys, who, until this time. had visions of winning a championship. The Final score was 30 to 19, but the score does not nea1'ly reveal how soundly and finally Eau Claire was beaten. XYith the Normal Championship now firmly won and tucked away, La Crosse centered its attention on capturing the title in the new con- ference. VVitl1 an unbroken string of victories to their credit, the boys cinched their claim to be champions by romping away from Columbia, in the linal game of the year, 28 to 15. Not since the beginning of the school has any La Crosse Normal basketball team been in such an enviable position as this one. VVhile, it is true, La Crosse has many times before been Normal Conference champions, the prestige which comes from being also champions of the W'estern Inter-Collegiate Conference, giving them the title, Champions of Two Conferences, is a rare one, and one that may not be claimed here again for a few years at least. Although Captain Brown, f'Tobe E- E THE RACQUET Jessuppe, Miken Huseth and Art Borgstrom are lost to next year's team by graduation, Captain-elect Jorgensen, joe Shields, George Wfulk, Roy Quinn, Bill Fowler, George Schmidt, Lester XVheaton, Tommy Thompson and Douglas Duncan, together with what new material we may reasonably expect from the next freshman class, should present a team next year which will go towards another championship.

IKx , -J N I X -'I 1 f' I E E The High School Tournament The animal high school tournament held at La Crosse on the 5th, 6th and 7th of March was inferior to others, so far as the strength of the teams entered was concerned. La Crosse, who won the tourmanent, had hardly any competition and, although Baraboo, coached by our own 'lack Murphy, held them to four points in the flI'l21l game, La Crosse far outclassed them in every way. The rest of the teams, had not La Crosse been entered, might have put on a good tournament, but after the first night it was easily seen who the champions would be. The defeat of the Baraboo nve gave La Crosse her third win. The first game, Thursday evening, against Viroqua saw her administering to the highly touted five from the south a sound beating. Again, on Friday night, La Crosse dished out another decisive defeat, this time to Vtfilton, by a score of 33 to ll. The Baraboo quintet reached the finals by defeating Prairie du Chien Thursday afternoon, 14 to 7, and winning from their old time rivals, Reedsburg, Friday night, 22 to 12. Prairie du Chien picked off third place when she pulled a win from Reedsburg Saturday night. The game was won on a one-point margin, 7 to 6, and was featured by the plucky playing of Captain VVolf of Reedsburg, who, although playing on a losing team, never once lost his courage. Prairie won from Fountain City 17 to 11 and from New Lisbon in a tight game, 14 to 12. The following are the All-Tournament selections picked by the officials : FIRST TEAM 'SECOND TEAM li.

THE TRACK SEASON OF 1923 In addition to weather handicaps, this year's track team had to go without the services of Howard Armstrong who had been elected captain. Early in spring he injured his leg which kept him from active work throughout the remainder of the year. A preliminary meet was held with Stout Institute. La Crosse won the meet by 86 to 53. Exceptional strength was exhibited by La Crosse in the Field events, winning all points in the shot-put, javelin and discus. Kevin and Hanson of the local team were tied for hrst place as each had a total of 12 points. The local relay team, composed of Hawkins, Hammel, Fellows and Torresoni, lost to Stout. The field for this meet was in unusually poor condition, as the great- est shower of the year had taken place a few hours before the contest. The following is the personnel of La Crosse men in the Stout meet: Mile Run-Dodson,f1rstg Hawkins, second. 2313. Two Mile Run-Keil, first: Spencer, second. 12:21.

THE RACQU ET q3.-1sc-:ball A ray of sunlight finally pierced the dark and gloomy clouds that cast an ominous shadow over the prospects for spring athletics for this year. Because there was a very appreciable lack of funds, the season was well along before it was definitely known that La Crosse was to participate in spring athletics. The Maroon and Gray has always been supreme in baseball, and there was no indica- tion that the season should be any different from the preceding ones. There was much material of an excellent nature, and it was no easy task for Coach jean Rolfe and his assistants to pick the team. The pitching staff, stronger than ever, was composed of Schmidt, Hoover and Gabert. Hoover, who performed so steadily last season, was relieved from carrying the whole burden this year by the addition of two freshmen to the staff. There was an abundance of catchers, the likely ones being Rake, Gionotti and Quinn. The inheld, worth undoubtedly the well-known million dollars, consisted of Wlulk at lirst, Captain joe Shields at second, Elmer Huseth at third, and Paul Nohr at short. The outfield was well provided for by Ettingcr, Martin, -lohnson, Shaffer, Keil, Reynolds, Anderson and XYipfie.
