And. lo! a transformation Had taken place in the gloom. Where had formerly stood the tall cupboard. An Indian chief met my gaze. And he was Good to look at The same as in other days. And on either side, near the chieftain. Where Eva and Wanda had worked. Were two little Indian maidens. And smiles in their faces lurked. So long they had searched through the records Of Indian annuals old. That at last they became shy members Of the Indian tribes so bold. But what were those two dark wigwams That were taking form in the gloom? They must have been once the two tables That had graced the Quiver room. And. lo! they were filled with dark maidens And Indian braves so tall. They had once been Quiver Staff members. But now they were Indians all. They were watching a bonfire mighty. Which was burning with fearful flame The tons of rejected write-ups By which they had meant to win fame. Then down through the quiet darkness There floated an object small. It was a completed Quiver. The pictures, the poems, and all. And. slowly it writhed and twisted Until no longer a book. But a wonderful, mystical peacepipe Met my astonished look. And the chief bent over and grasped it And puffed it with solemn grace. Then gave it to each Brave and Maiden, And each took it with smiling face. All the petty troubles and worries Of the months now passed away Were smoked in the soothing peacepipe Which was formed from the Quiver that day. 8 QUIVER STAFF ( nr I tjUlVER$TftFF 10 1 ■v 11 12 iTcum, oj iGlMAUTy or THOUGHT AOTl vvi floM wp Ntvri -'Faij.wg GrNr c iTy gt r ATO GU J UfiHT Np o j� jW PlI W, W£TTH£ jJJJMao EtflC iTX THf OyiViT of J(lto£TON HtfMp j'UCV .

H. KEITH “Keeper-of-the-Paths-of-Men” In the early ages, when the nations and the tribes were strong and mighty, there was one nation which was mightier and stronger than any other. And this nation the Great Spirit ruled himself. But as he thought of all his tasks and cares, he said. For this my strongest nation I must have a strong helper. And so as his helper he chose the greatest brave of all the nations, and he called him. Keeper-of-thc-Paths-of-Men. As the moons came and went, far to the north there sprang up another nation, younger than this greatest nation, and very ambitious and vigorous. And the Great Spirit communed thus within himself: “ ‘The-Keeper-of-the-Paths-of-Mcn' has become too great to be merely a helper. In the north is needed a young and active chief. I will send him to lead this new nation of mine. And so it was. that the Keeper-of-the-Paths-of-Men became the ruler of the Oshkosh nation. And under his wise, watchful leadership this strong, ambitious nation has become great and exceedingly successful. Inspired is each brave and maiden within it. by the chieftain's matchless talks, which earn.’ winged messages straight from his heart to theirs and sow the seeds of earnest, unselfish purpose in their lives. Great and glorious has been his career, and splendid his victories, but in the mind of the Great Spirit his mightiest achievement has been the transformation and ennobling of the young lives beneath his care, which he has molded into helpful, noble men and women. ‘7 H. S. Youker “The-Ruler-of-Growing-Life” Par liack in the ages of mists and shadows there dwelt in the land of the living, a ruler strong and true. A powerful helper was he of Gitchce Manitou, mightiest Ruler of all. And this ruler’s dominions included the forests and plants and flowers.—all the world of wild, happy, growing things. Patiently worked he. and long, transforming the ugly, deformed children of his realm into glorious Icings, each one a dispenser of Sunshine and Light And then did Gitchce Manitou. Gracious Helper of all mankind, receive from a far-distant tribe, a cry,—beseeching, insistent. nd the cry was for one who could change and transform the children of Oshkosh to glorious, helpfu' dispensers of Sunshine and Light. And . in his kindness of heart, to Oshkosh did Gitchce Manitou send the Ruler-of-Growing-Litc.” and there you may sec him today,—ever patient and helpful.—transforming, inspiring the Youths ami the Maidens. tS ' 6 Rose C. Swart “She-of -W ide-Experience” For many moon have tlic people listened to tin wlie counsel of the gifted daughter of the Nation. Great Is her Inllueneo In the Counell Chnm-her and In the aeeret meetings of the wise men assembled to speak of youths In their keeping. Freely she minifies with the Youth of the Nation, always ready In notlnK wherein they excel. Her care are many and varied, but she frees herself of them with a will. Her hopes, too. ore many—her latest Is- -that the Maidens of u 11 lands may gain and enjoy the rights in the life of Nations that the Youths now have o Emily F. Webster “ Magician-of-the-Digits-Nine Lome summers uro the Great Spirit called his people together and they rame from the four uuarters of the Wind. They came from the cold lands of the North Wind, from the balmy South Und, from the laiml of the Rising Sun. from the land of the Golden Glow. Amnnit them was a young maiden eager to hear what the Great Spirit had to tell his people. The Spirit talked long and solemnly to the gathered throng. Good words he spoke of alms ami ideals: but Ills people gaxed at him with troubled faces. They could not understand what the Great Spirit wanted, and their hearts were uneasy. Hut the little Malden looked at the Mighty Ituler with bright eyes. She knew what he meant, and the Spirit looking sadly down on his troubled people saw her. He called her to hint and said. O Small One. you have heard my teaching. Your bright eyes tell me you have understood and the Great Spirit's heart is glad. I will whisper to you a secret and you must carry It fair away among the people and teach It to them. Then will your work be good. And the Malden carried her secrets always with her. She built her lodge among the Oshkosh Tribes. Many came to listen to her wondrous teachings, ami on the walls of her lodge they find the secrets written. o Lydon W. Briggs Keeper-of-the-Nation’s-Wiimpum” In the Council Hull at Oshkosh, in a wigwam called an office, sits a warrior with a sculp lock white ais are the snows of winter. Keeper of the Wampum Is he. guardian of the Nation's treasures. How came he to dwell among them respected so by all the chieftains? Hearken then unto a legend, to an old and strange tradition. Long ago before the white man cutne here lo destroy our people, when o'er plains and hills and forests roamed our Nation unmolested, a great warrior dwelt among us. None there was In all our Nation who could send so swift, an arrow—none so licet of foot, so tire-less—none so sighed for by the maidens. While he yet was young, his chieftain mighty, called Ills braves upon tin- war path. In a long and hitler struggle. Many moons our warrior followed his great chieftain to the southward. Many were the hardships hitter he was called upon to suffer. One night folded In Ids blanket, lie began to think and ponder. Was there need for all this bloodshed? Could not all the tribes he governed so that there would he peace among them? And he thought of laws and orders that would help to banish warfare. Next morning forth lie went to battle pondering still Upon these questions. All day long waged the great struggle and this warrior at the day's dose shot Ids last arrow at the enemy. Hut in doing so his bow snapped and fell broken from Ids finger . Some great Impulse that he knew not hade him follow his last arrow. ATter a long and tiresome Journey, pressing ever toward the Northland, lie found Idmself among a Nation on the shores of Winnebago. There he stayed and trained these people. taught them laws to guide their children. And so faithful was lie ever that they made him Keeper of the Nation's wampum, guardian of their many treasure . Mary E. Apthorp “Reader-of-ihe-Tongucs-of-Many-Nations One day the Robin said to a Malden of the Quincy Tribe. Mv child, you know the speech of the birds and animals: go. now. and learn the tongues of the nations. It Is the will of the Great Manltoii.-' The Malden then went to the tribes of the Rising Sun and to the Iowa Nations, and learned their speech. Then a white-winged ship bore her away to the home of the White-Man and she learned many of Ids languages also. After she had returned to the village of the Chicago , the great Manlto himself came to her and said. My child, you have done my bidding well. You shnll now be called •Reader of the Tongues of Many Nation .' and you shall leach all people the languages you have learned. 10 Walter C.

Josephine Henderson Fountain-of-Knowledge” In a pleasant vale secluded, ’mongst the mountains far. far eastward from our great rocks, gray, malestlc. fell a crystal stream of water. When the bright sun danced upon It. shorn- forth myriads of diamonds, and Its voice was purest music like a bell of silver tinkling. At Its foot a mist In the sunlight rose, rainbow-tinted. In the shadow cool, refreshing Always at return of summer, all the tribes of all the nations made a Journey to this fountain: bathed their brows In Its clear waters, bathed their souls In its pure music. And upon the braves and maidens, east this fount a spell of tnngle. for to those whose hearts were open to the Influence of its beauty, much there came of heavenly wisdom, and of deep, life-giving knowledge. And when all the tribes departed, much they pleaded, much besought they, that ihe .Manltou In kindness grant the one great boon they asked him. Itut he could not heed their pleadings, for the boon they asked too great was. The Great Spirit loved the fountain and to part with her he could not. But one morn an Oshkosh warrior gazed on her in all her beauty as her cloudy mists were sparkling In the rosy light of morning. And his prayer ascended upward to the furthest bounds of Heaven, and the mighty spirit heard him. And the silver fountain heard him and Its heart was filled with gladness. Gltchee.Manltou. the Mighty, bent his head in silent sorrow.-—then he gently said. My daughter, go thou with this Oshkosh warrior, henceforward to his people, be a ‘clear fountain of pure knowledge I.o. a maiden stood before him. eyes rclleotlng Heaven's azure, hair like silver mists of morning. I.Ike a oucen she stood before him. stately ns a goddess. And she did the Spirit's bidding, ami she came unto our people- She to us a guiding star is. unto us a fount of knowledge. Frederick R. Clow Keeper-of-the-Lore” Far out on the distant prairie on the plains of Minnesota, dwelt a sober Youth and thoughtful. Soon ambition stirred within him. led him forth to seek much knowledge till at last he came to Oshkosh, there to teach the youthful Nation how to dwell in peace together Here he tells them of the history of the ancient tribes and peoples from the time of man’s creation to the year of nineteen hundred eleven. Kccpr r-of-thc-l.ore we call him. Ellen F. P. Peake Giver-of- Happiness Once upon a time the Great Spirit was very sad. He wandered out Into the forest, trying to And something to cheer him. Here he met a oualnt little child with such a bright, happy face that he was attracted to her. She would be a cure for his sadness, and he took the little maiden to his wigwam. He learned to love her because of her winning and cheering ways. He kept her ami let her live In Ills heart. And because she lived in the heart of the Great Spirit she drew from him still greater kindliness ami strength and justice. After a time when the child had grown Into a slender woman, a distant nation needed the help of the Great Spirit. All Ills helpers Were busy In other lands, and no one was left but the slender maiden whom he loved. The Great Spirit was sad at the thought of losing her but at last he said. You must go to help the Oshkosh nation, and there you will be known ns ’Glver-of-Happiness.' “ 20 n o I Harry R.

Farlf.y W ill-o-the-W isp Among the marshes and lowlands of the hunting-grounds of the Indians. there dwelt a flitting, dancing, ever-moving elf. and It was known as the wlll-o-the-wisp. The Braves and Maidens often came to the marshes and watched with great fascination.—aye. even with terror, the twinkling, flickering elf. Ami many times when they left the marshes they carried with them tales of things.—mysterious, strange, and wise, which they said the wlll-o-tlie-wlsp had told to them. Hut one night the Braves and Maidens came to the marshes in vain, for the wlll-o-the-wisp has disappeared. The Croat Spirit had chosen him to go to the Oshkosh nation and tell to the Braves and Maidens there the wise, strange things he had told before to the hunting-ground children. Today you may find him there. Imparting his tale of mysterious reason and wisdom, and meriting still by Ills quick and telling movements, the name which he gained In the marshes.— The-Wlll-o-the-Wisp. Ellis J. Walker Trainer-of-Youth In the favorite garden of the Spirits sprang a tiny plant. Through liay-suns and Night-suns the plant grew until It was transformed Into a tall, graceful stalk with loveliest foliage and blossoms. From moon to moon It grew, never perishing. All who saw it wondered at Its loveliness; none could name It. Of all the blossoms In the garden, this one did most delight Spirits And they cherished the flower dearl) W that they pondered how they might transform It that mankind might be blessed by its presence. The day came at length when the desires of the Spirits were gratified. By the weeping of a saddened child was the soul of the blossom called forth -transformed Into a kindly Maiden. Unchanging Is she in spirit; In mind zealous and strong. Truly has she Inspired those who have lived In this Nation. To the care of the youths of our Nation has she been commended. Cherished by all Is she. “Tralner-of-Youth. Margaret E. Fisher Giver-of-Health Many moon ago in the land of the Rising Sun. grew a pine tree, straight and beautiful. It was not happy, for it wished to go to help the Indian Nations. One night a great storm arose. The lightning Mashed across the sky and the wind went shrieking through the forest. The Indians withdrew into their wigwams. They said to each other. The Great Spirit Is angry with us.” The stately pine tree bent before the wind, but a mighty blast felled It to the ground. A maiden having the grace, strength, amj beauty of tin- pine tree, sprang from the broken trunk. She Med before the wind to the land of the Setting Sun. There she dwelt among the Oshkosh Nation. She trained all the Braves and the Maidens so that they grew In grace or spirit, and strength of mind and physical beauty. Great was their love for her, ami they called her.

And they arranged with their nearby tribesmen to send her to their Iodises that she mlKhl mingle with them and learn the art In which they were skilled—that of picture-wfitlng. Happy Indeed was the heart of the maiden when she to the neighboring Nation migrated, there with the skillful artists to counterfeit Nature she learned. Birch bark, canvas, parchment—all did they decorate with harmonies of hue an l figure. At length the sachems agreed that she might go forth from their ranks, go to the Nations she loved the most and teach them the arts she had learned. Before she came to our Nation she lived In the Illinois lands. But not many moons had flown mist when She came Into the ranks of our Sachems, came to this, our Nation, to be our Picture-Writer. Hannah M. Cundiff Shc-with-the-Kcy-Fc cling” When the Great Manltou had ceased from his creations, he smiled, for his works were good to look upon. Convinced that all were perfect, he sent word t” all creatures that, should any one of them be dissatisfied with his gifts, let him appear before the Mighty Manltou and make complaint. And he sighed again from pure comfort, for he saw no one before him. But he heard a small voice saying, Oltchce Manltou. the Mighty, grant. I pray you. the boon I ask. Frowning, he looked down upon the slender figure of n Southern Malden, her lovely face uplifted, full of pleuding. full of yearning. And lie said. My fairest daughter, what further boon cans! thou ask? Thou hast now full share of beauty, grace tltou hast In speech and motion, like the birds' your singing voice is and your mind Is keen and powerful. What more can a Malden ask for? But she answered, sobbing, weeping. Grant. I pray you. the key-feeling:” And the Manltou was silent: but the boon she asked was granted. Louise Encking Keepcr-of-theStores-of-Knowledge” In the days when this broad land was one great forest, when the deer roamed unheeded, and the birds poured out their melodies unchecked, a little elf dwelt there unknown and alone. All day long she lllttod about until even the most timed creepers heeded her not. But a time came when she bgan to weary of this care-free life, and to pine for something to do. And then one night when the shadows were fulling and a cricket was disturbing her slumbers, a soft breeze wafted a song very gentle and sweet. Thus it Is that she Interpreted It. Why not read and learn each message that this forest holds for you? Ii was then that with new fervor she began her life once more. The birds and butterflies missed her presence as the days began to wane, while tlic leaves began to murmur because she scanned them so unceasingly. Most minutely she observed the signs and symbols of this great forest, until there was nothing she could not understand. But a calamity overlook this great realm In which she reigned supreme. One night a direful enemy made a visit and turned this happy land Into bleak desolation. Then the white man catne and his heart grew sail to see these valuable leaves Scattered s« ruthlessly. But before he could determine what to do. he heard a weak little wall, half entreating, half commanding. Mighty white man. gather all these leaves together. I long to dwell again among them.” Flensed to have his worry thus dispelled, the good man gathered these leaves and shaped them Into wondrous objects, which he called books;” and to complete his work he put these Into the keeping of this elf. now a fair and stately maiden. In her lodge lined with hooks, now she dwells keen and watchful, and we call her. “Kccper-of-the-Stores-of-K nowledge.” Irene Curtis “The-Sweet-Singer” In the Moon of Leaves, a warrior, striding swiftly through the forest, sharply unused and keenly hearkened to a bird note in the forest A lonely thrush was pouring out Its song of woe and sorrow. Too far had she ventured from the dear home nest and safety, and her voice of wondrous beauty had a note of plaintive sadness. Ashamed that he. a warrior, should be moved by such a small thing, the brave inised his bow. but he did not send the arrow, for behold, he saw before him not the thrush, but a charming maiden. Hair and eyes had she like midnight, lips like the cherries that the sun has warmed to ripeness. And the mighty warrior hidden from the view of this fair Maiden, listened to her song entrancing. Then a longing filled his bosom, for he knew his tribe at Oshkosh needed yet another singer, yet another versed In music, to make glad the council chamber, to make singers of the Youths and Maidens. Boldly he advanced to meet her. to her he made known his longing, and the lovely maiden yielded to his words and looks persuasive. And she left her native prairies. Journeyed with him to Wisconsin, where she dwells In peace among us. 23 Nellif. A. Smith “Revealer-of -Nature’s-Beauties” In the Hweot. silent woodland. cIoko beside a bubbling spring. there grew a slender. graceful flower, It petals were of such sweetness that they perfumed all the forest, until the braves who roamed within It wondered whence came all the sweetness wafted to tlielr nostrils. They found the llower In Its tender grave and beauty, brightening all that grew around It. making all the forest sweeter and more fragrant. They marveled how It changed Its surroundings and showed In them beauty where there had been no beauty before. All too gracious It seemed, simply to adorn the forest. Far away there was a Nation which stood In need of one to help It see the beauties of nature. So the Mower drooped and faded, but In Its place there stood a kindly, gentle lady, and she was sent unto the Nation’s lodges, where still she teaches beauties of the wood and valley to the Youths and Maidens. r Ruth G. Bagley “Preserver-of-the-Mother-Tongue” In the Hast I .and dwelt a Malden whom the Spirits smiled upon. So gifted was she that the Great Spirit decreed that she should some day be a helper In a favored Nation That she might become wise through experience. the Spirits made her to dwell In the regions of the homos of all the great Winds. In the lands of the Sunshine and of the North Wind. In the homes of the Ktslng and the Setting Suns—In all has she known habitation Hut the Great Spirit found that he needed her most In this. Ills beloved of Nations. Here he directed her that she might teach the Braves and the Maidens of the language of their Fathers. Much they wonder at her knowledge. Kven In the languages of the Ancients Is she versed and through them does she teach the Nation of the language they now speak. She Is ever known to them as. Preserver-of-the-Mother-Tongue. r Pauline Bromberg Breath-of-the-Winds So blithe and mlrthsonie was one of the wood spirits in the far-off land of the Bostons that she was called the Breath of the Winds. Gentle was she as the breeze that ripple the trout streams In summer, and light as the quivering aspen that sways 'neath the weight of the wren-bird. All day long she danced In the quiet woodland to the music of the song birds and the sighing winds. The Great Chief of the Oshkosh Nation heard of this sprite and sent the eagle to bring her to him Now the Breath of the Winds teaches the Maidens of his Nation the dances and grace-giving movements known to the wood sprite . Daisy I. Harner “Our-Daisy” Far. far to the westward In a quietly smiling meadow, grew a lovely, tender Daisy. Gold was her heart as the summer sunshine, and her petals were white ns the snows of winter. As she nodded In the sunlight and the breezes’ soft caresses, she turned ever longingly toward tlx- habitations of men. standing at the edge of her meadow She watched the maidens a they ground the golden grain to dust and prepared food for their chieftains, and she envied them their labors. Then one day a warrior chieftain espied her there, plucked her and took her with him to a land far distant to the pleasant land of Oshkosh. This, he said, will keep the sunshine In my wigwam all the long dark winter. But a great change came over her as she entered the wigwam. Behold, then, our Daisy, a lovely woman with golden hair and fair face, knowing all the secrets and the magic of tlx arts we call domestic. Bver now she dwelt among these strangers and all the maidens of the nation learned of the secrets of home-making. -’4 Frank A. Ferguson Interpreter-of -Nature's-Wonders” Far to the Hast ward. across the waters of l.ake Michigan, on the top of a high hill, stood nil oak tree so tall that Its hlKhest branches pierced the clouds Looking downward he saw nil tlte actions of men. so that no secret was hidden from him He had no fear of the lightning, the thunder, the rain, the wind or the Hoods, for he knew what caused them. Often he hunted to tell these secrets to men that they too might not be afraid; but he had no voice, no speech, that they might understand. This oak tree was lonely, for he had ...mpanlon near hint, and although Ills mind was busy pondering over the laws of nature, still he longed for comradeship and friendship. One day. on looking downward, near his roots lie saw a blossom. Just a tiny little blossom on a sprig of mountain laurel. Sweetly smiled she then, and bravely, and his heart grew warm within him. and he said, Dainty lady, cling to me. for I am stronger, and here on this lonely hilltop, sharp you'll find the wind and chilly. So she clung to the friendly oak tree, and thus supported, grew so sturdy that ere long, by standing upright she could touch Ills lowest branches. .Many more moons passed over these friends happily, for they found much pleasure In the presence and the converse of each other. She would tell him lovely legends of the birds and Mowers and children, and when weary, she would listen to his wondrous tales of force, tales of heat and of light. The Great Spirit, fondly listening, said, I have no right to keep them from the sphere of men and women who shall profit by their knowledge. He sent them here to tell us all their tales of truth and beauty. Alkida J. Pieters “Tcller-of-the-Legends Once upon a lime. In a village of the great .Mh-hlgnu nation, there lived a wonderful maiden. The rains came and went, and then the snows, and this maiden grew as straight and tall as the Indian maize. Her greatest delight was In sitting for hours at the feet of the old men of the tribe, listening to the tales they told. Then she was known as the Legend Lover. When she hnd learned all of her own tribal lore, she visited, first the Hope nation, and then the village of the Downers. Soon their talcs also had become hers. Back towards the Uising Sun she went to the wigwam of Ann Arbor Again the rains and snows came and went and The legend l.over was called Teller of the Legends because she knew the tales of all tribes and nations. Now she dwells with the Oshkosh nation and Imparts to our young brave and maidens the wonderful lore. Lucy A. Potter The-Bright-Star-Maiden When the descending golden Sun. like an ember front the camp fin- of the spirits long departed, fell Into the western water:—-when the glory of the sunsol slowly changed to purple twilight and the shades of darkness softly crept around the trees and grasses, tin n. through screens of sighing branches ami across the darkening waters, came the Oshkosh braves all weary from the day of hunt and llshlitg; came to rest then near their lodges In the bright warmth of their comp fires. They watched the stars come peeping, one by one. from out the darkness, little Spirit I gimps. to light them to the Island of the Blessed. But they watched one star most often, for Its bright ness ami Its gleaming seemed more kindly than the others. Sueli a softness seemed within It that the llc.l Men wished It nearer, each night looked for It with longing, wondered at Its gleaming beautv. One night. While the Braves were resting, lying Just outside their lodges, lb! what wonder enme upon them, when they saw their star descending! Slow descending to their camp Area And. within the lodge, a Malden, bright and gleaming as the star was. fair of face, of kindly manner, stood and asked of them a welcome! She had left her home and comrades In the Star Land of the heavens, to be with the Oshkosh Nation and to aid and ••beer Its warriors. Thus the Braves were made most happy, now their Bright Star was among them. Jennie G. Marvin “She-of-ihe-Voice-that’Pleaseth In the region where the land Is one great garden, a tangle of flowers and fruit trees, watered by scores of sweetly murmuring streams, the Great Spirit loves to ramble and revel In the beauties be lias erented. One day he stood musing Idly, gazing Into the depths of a stream that glided along so smoothly that the blue of the sky lay there undisturbed. Gradually he became aware of a low voice, not unlike musle. that at Intervals repeated. Ye shall pass, for ye are worthy. This expression of authority caused him to smile In Ills musing, for who dared to speak thus In his domain? He followed the stream some distance, and the low voice grew over more distinct At last hr paused at a sheltered, cool grotto, where a small opening In the wall let forth a steady stream of crystalline waters. While the Great Spirit paused In wonder at this beauty In Its seclusion, and at the mist that hovered over It. he heard the voice again. Only when I have tested your work and strength do I send you theme. No more are you guarded hi seclusion when Into that channel you llow. This care for that which added so much to the beauty of this creation, pleased the Great Spirit so that he gave form to that voice, and sent the fair maiden to his favorite people, the Oshkosh nation. Here each tenth moon, at her compliance, a happy band |� uves the Training Department for the Itcalin of the Normals. 5 Mary A. 0'Kf.efe Maiden-with-thc-Eye-that-Spcaketh” In a village «f our nation, near a lake of eineral«l waters , grew a sprig of Shamrock sturdy. The chill winds of Autumn tossed her. the snows of winter covered her. hut when the sun of sprint; broke upon the earth, there stood our little shamrock, taller ami fairer than ever, her head proudly raised. All the other little shamrocks loved her. yet they stood In owe of her. for they said, ller eyes are brighter and her wits are sharper than a re ours, so we Kindly do her bidding. But the mind that knowoth all things In the realm of men and llowers. watched this shamrock closely and concluded she was needed by the neighboring tribe at Oshkosh. Whispered to her words of magic ami at once the lovely shamrock, stood erect, a splendid woman, with a look of power and kindness In her eyes that was sure to win the children, while It checked their heedless actions. Then lie sped with tier to Oshkosh, where she dwelletli still among us. Elizabeth Stevens Fairy-of-Sweet-Messages In the largest ami most beautiful Forest of the Great Spirits' domain, grew many little dowers,—pink, and purple, and coral.—all shades that ■ ould make the world lovely. Now often these llowers were made glad by a tiny golden bird which llew about among them and whispered such beautiful little messages Into their ears that the pink llowers grew more pink, the blue llowers more blue, and they all became more kind and more lovely. But far away there were growing some poor, little human llowers. who had neither beauty nor sweetness, ami the Great Spirit thought to himself. My fairest flowers have beauty and color and loveliness, but my poor little human llowers are neither charming nor kind. I will send the tiny bird that helps my forest dowers to minister to the little human dowers. He changed the tiny bird Into a sweet little lady, called The-Kalry-of-Sweet •Messages.” and sent her to work among his little human dowers. There she whispers still her beautiful messages and makes each young life more kind and lovable. Faye Henley “The-Gift-of-the-Spirits In the wooded land to the eastward, In the homes of a stranger people, roved a good fairy.—the children's friend. She wandered ever about the wigwams and the lodges, wherever the little ones of the tribes were gathered for tlielr frolics. Unhappy was she when from them parted. All her delight was wrapped In the companionship of these children. In comforting the saddened hearts, and making more glad the glad ones. Since she was but a fairy, her chosen companions—though they felt her presence—might never behold her form: but her comrade spirits knew of her charms, knew of her loveliness. And that she might be seen by all. and thus make her heart more Joyous, they of the magic hands transformed her Into the maiden they called The-GIfts-of-the-Spliits. Now Is she one of our nation, to us has she been given: her charges, ns ever, the children. Hut loved Is she by all—by Braves ami Maidens both. The Manltou trusts she may live with our Nation for many moons to come, for she Is the friend of all. r Nettalie Boucher Maiden-with-the-Eyes-ihat-Glow Knrly one morning, many imams ago, when the West wind was blowing over the wigwams of the tribe that dwelt near the banks of sparkling Winnebago, he heard the leaves whispering Itow that tribe had need of someone.— someone, gentle, kind, anil patient, who would help to care for youths and maidens of that tribe near Winnebago. And the Westwind, as he dew. pondered whom to send t«� help these people In their trouble and their need. Suddenly below him. lie saw a spirit, tall ami fair, with eyes of magic beauty, eyes of patience, and of love. Down he flew to see more closely, who this spirit fair might be. And a great rejoicing came upon him when he saw It was the spirit f a slender, browneyed Susan, for In felt that she could help these people In the westland. So he told her of this Westland, and the tribe of troubled warriors, and he made from her a maiden with a kin.I and gentle spirit who agreed to go Into the Westland to the tribe of troubled warriors. And when through the groves of singing pine trees, they saw tier coming, all the shores re-echoed with the cries of Joyous welcome to the “Maldcn-wIth-tlie-Byes-that-Glow.” t Gertrude P. Morehart “She-of-the-Work-Just-Begun The Great Splrlt'x work had attain begun. The xliumx of grass and flowers wore beginning to push their way above the thick crust of earth that kept them confined during the long winter. Many times he would have Riven up but for the cheerful and never wearying presence of his youngest and fulresf daughter. I nlly she was with him. and through this constant companionship she became versed In the magic of his wondrous art. Then ns the earth, kissed by the warm sun, grew less obstinate to the demands of the little things crying for liberty, the Great Spirit sought someone to share his burdens. And it was then that he thought of this daughter and put her in charge of some of the work that had just begun. Hut ere long a cry came from his favorite people for some one to help In the second stages of.the work that they had begun. Though loath to part with the daughter most dear to him. yet this nation's needs could not be overlooked. Here she holds sway over flowers renl. and In her heart she is happy. Martha Hinkel “The-Eloquent Not many moons ago. in the sunshine of the South I .and. dwelt she who Is known as The Kloquent. By the side of the greatest of Chieftains and Chiefs did she abide. I'nllke those of her Nation was she In appearance. As fair of skin was she as the fairest of pale-faces; like the silky threads of the malxe were her abundant tresses. Though she was beloved by all. still was she not happy. To the needs of tin- Nations of the North land did she so wish to minister. At length she wandered away from tin- South Isiml. Par to the North did she go. In the Oshkosh Nation a murmur had arisen among the Sachems lamented they that the Maidens and Braves of the Nation knew not how to tell of the deeds of the Istnds In a way commendable to the Spirits. When she. The KloQuent,” heard the call of this Nation, quick was she to respond. To the wants of our Youths and Maidens dl l she hearken. As one of tin- ranks of their sachems has she been numbered these ten moons. Though stern she may seem, yet Is she kindly at heart. With regard that encompasses all does she reign in the sphere she delights In. She has pleased the Spirits In all! Alfred J. Rokhm Master-of-the-Bass-Voice” On the plains of Indiana near the big and shining river, near the river named the Wabash, near the city named Port Wayne, lived the Master of the Bass Voice. Oftentimes he loved to wander far away where he might ponder, where the place was calm ami quiet. Nothing near was there to mock him. nothing near was there to taunt him. and his heart within grew happy. Then lie raised his voice In gladness, sang he till the forest echoed, till It echoed and resounded, till the birds In fear departed, left In haste and naught was with him but the echoes of the forest. Was 1st das? he cried In terror, and the echoes then made answer. I eave. my son. thy life of gladness: yonder northward In Wisconsin in a city known ns Oshkosh, great need have they for a teacher, for a teacher of the strange tongue, thou hast spent much time in learning. I’p arose the Great Bass Singer, heeded well these words of counsel, went at once to seek this city, seek this city In the Northland where his services were needed. There the Youths and Maidens gather round tills great Chief to leurn German. But his voice he still has with him. ami It echoes and re-echoes through tin- nails of Oshkosh Normal. R. E. Manchester “The-Scalp-Taker” It happened that there dwelt In the land of the Mlchlgans a young brave Never could they call him Squaw Man.” for he delighted In manly feats of powers and heroism Among many tribes of the Mlchlgans had he lived, ami versed was he In their methods of warfare. In many battles he fought, gaining the name of Scalp-Taker. Finally lie came to the Oshkosh Tribe to teach her young Braves the arts of war. Now by Ills stratagems. the enemies of Oshkosh are one by one defeated, and the tribe stands as champion of the Wisconslns. 27 Mildred A.

At last she came t« u strange city of monstrous si . and here she found that she was sorely needed. Hard she worked, and each night, shadows brought her a message that the Spirit was pleased. One night all was silent, and as she waited listening, she fell Into a deep sleep. When she awakened she found herself In an upper chamber of a mighty Council House Here her life Is peaceful and secluded, but she loves to tell of the people to the southward among whom she has labored.

For a long time it had watched the endeavors and weak strivings of the Braves and Maidens after knowledge It said I love these Indian people and I shall go down and live with them and try to help them. So one night the star shot down, down and entered an upper chamber of the Great Found! Hall. Here the Braves and Maidens found her. They called her Star-Beautiful. and great was their love for her. When the Maidens ami Braves were tired from their labors they ascended to the lodge of Star Beautiful. and her sweet, beaming face and spirit thrilled them with new hope.

For rains upon rains the spirit that dwelt therein had sent up his smoke continually. One day he neglected his fluty and so that day no smoke arose from the huge mouth of the mountains. The Great Spirit was very angry at this and he sahl to the spirit of the volcano. “'Sit more may you live here In peace. You shall go among the restless Northern Nation and there you shall have long and troublesome labttr In keeping the Council fires burning.

Tin- smoke from his fires Is seen to rise slowly up, up until It gradually vanishes from the sight. � ) Senior Legend Thrice the summer sun has journeyed northward toward the frozen regions, southward toward the land of sunshine; thrice and once again has journeyed since these Seniors came among us. Some there were who knew the pitfalls, knew the dangers threatening Freshmen, for had they not tarried lately in the Training Schools? But those other ones who entered from the forests and the prairies, wrestled with examinations; tresh were they, aye. fresh and verdant to the ways of this, our nation. But. alas, for all these Freshmen! Little could sophistication or the lack of it avail them! Chieftain, sachems, upper classmen failed alike to understand them, withheld from them the great homage due their age and vast importance; treated them like mere papooses, teaching them much needed lessons in the way of speech and manners. And the Freshmen hearts were bitter, and they prayed to the Great Spirit for the sure and speedy dawning of the day of their deliverance, of the day that made them Sophomores. As when in the early springtime, from the bare and lifeless branches bursts the fresh and lovely verdure, so our Freshmen blossomed quickly into buoyant Sophomores. Gone was then the timid-fawn-look, gone the awkward rustic manner. And the scornful, haughty glances they bestowed upon all Freshmen, showed how deep and wide a chasm they had crossed in one brief season. Lest as Juniors in the national they esteem themselves too highly; lest they grow too proud and boastful, and become a public nuisance, the Great Spirit sent to join them youths and maidens without number. Graduates these were of High Schools, and they came from many nations. Many tongues and many customs were thus introduced among us. and our little band of Juniors, by these others far outnumbered. yielded, not without reluctance, to the law of strength through union, and became most loyal members of the mighty class of Juniors. Not like towering pines in stature, nor like boulders by the seashore; but like oaken trees these Juniors, reaching high enough toward heaven to receive its air and sunshine; stout enough in bark and fiber to withstand its storms and tempests; clear in grain, and fine and perfect without knot or sign of weakness. And their chosen work of teaching may be likened to the oak tree, in the shade and the protection which it gives to weary travellers. Well they loved the council chamber and the social joys it offered; well they loved the spreads and picnics and the trips on lake and river. They are now no longer Juniors. Seniors are they, awe-inspiring, full of dignity and purpose. Now remains no slightest vestige of the verdant youth or maiden,-types so evident aforetime but instead we see a body of young Braves and Maidens earnest, working side by side harmoniously, filled with what we call school spirit, setting to the other students an example strong of union and of dignity and labor. A few more moons, and this great nation, disbanded will be for a season; no more to this council chamber will return these well-loved Seniors. Forth they go from Oshkosh nation, some to distant tribes and peoples, each to win his place of honor in the records of our nation. Gitchee Manitou the Mighty, whisper to them words of wisdom, fill their hearts with understanding that success may crown their efforts. jo 'rsi ' Algoma Joseph Timble......................

There I sat upon a bench and gazed Siewert, watching an old Fisher catch Harring. He suddenly looked up and saw me and growled out. Howe did you come here? You’d better Chase along!

I said. O Fye. let's play Youker. For many Summers now we have not played. But he was angry at that and cried. Leave me. If I had a thousand Holmes, you should never enter one of them again.” 1 sadly left him. and Wendt and sat among the Tufts of grass, looking at the Hay(es) in the Field, and admiring the sweet Williams, which the Gardner claimed were his most hardy Plant:. I was sorry 1 had offended my Parent. for it was supper-time and I longed for the Huttcrbrodt, Tarts, and Reis I knew they would have.

Curli ALUMNI Seated in front of his wigwam near the bank of the river sits the old Chief Oshkosh. He draws his blankets closely about his shrinking frame. His hair once darker than the night shadows among the spruce trees is now streaked with lines of gray. His eyes that once flashed like flames of fire are now dull as embers smoldering among the ashes, as he gazes to the westward. It is the evening of the ninth of June. Often have the old chief's eyes beheld the color and brilliancy of that western sky. but never before such depth and richness of blue and purple upon the hills and the water. Where the sun went down the horizon is low. and but a slender black line of forest separates the sky from the water. All above is crimson and orange and gold, and all below to the right and the left, purple laid upon purple until the whole body of the air is turned to color. The old chief leans forward to stir the fire. The flames leap up and illuminate the front of the wigwam, among the dark shadows of the spruce trees with a brilliancy rivaling that of the sun. Chief Oshkosh turns and beckons to his grandson to come forward to read to him from the Great Book. The tall lad rises from the ground where he lay fashioning an arrow, brings the book and begins to turn the pages of the heavy manuscript made up of so many Quivers. The old man passes his hand slowly over the first page and says: This day a fleet-footed warrior from the north came to me with news of the coming of a great band of Braves and Maidens who arc now ready to enter the unlimited hunting grounds of life. All day have 1 been thinking of them and of the honor they will bring to their brothers. Now 1 wish again to look upon the faces of those who have so long and bravely been fighting life’s battles.” As the young man turns the pages the old man gazing intently at each face begins to muse. There were but few in those first bands who came to this land: but what mighty chiefs some of them have proven themselves. Each band as it came was larger in number than the preceding one, until now as I think of them coming to-morrow 1 know it shall he as a mighty host sweeping down upon us.” The youth turns the pages more slowly. Every countenance is scanned and the old chief comments on the work of his great family. What a great chief we have among the Dakotas! How busily he is engaged in training the young warriors. Here is one among the tribes of the East whose hand is mighty in shaping the great government; another commands the many trails across our land and guides our men and women across the country in their work. Each and all of these great numbers bring with them and earn’ with them the brands of truth and learning put upon them by their leaders in their training days. Close the book, my son. I cannot look on the faces of all. My eyes grow dim as the number grows larger.” The night deepens around him and the sky hangs out its thousand candles. Odors of the wood float on the air; the spicy fragrance of the firs mingles with the breath of flowers. A horned owl hoots from the branch of a dead pine-tree; far back in the forest a fox barks twice. The moon creeps up behind the trees and touches the stream with silver. The flames sink lower and lower and the dying embers send out a dull glow. The young warrior goes into the wigwam. The old chief still sits musing. Sometimes his face wears a look of doubt and disappointment, then it brightens and he sits more erect. What a record he has made. he exclaims and continues his musings. Just a few coals remain when Chief Oshkosh gets up and walks into the wigwam. but at the door he turns and placing his hands over his eyes he tries to look beyond the bend of the river. Nothing can be seen and not a sound reaches his ear. It is not long before the old chief again steps from his wigwam, now in festive garment. Overhead the mystery of daybreak is silently transfiguring the sky. The curtain of darkness has lifted along the edge of the horizon. In the central vault of heaven a few large stars twinkle drowsily. A young warrior steps out from the darkness of the fir trees and kindles the camp-fires and soon other warriors appear all in festive attire, and preparations for the breakfast are begun. Chief Oshkosh sits before the fire and as he looks up the river he begins to «4 muse again. Suddenly the old chief raises his head. What is the murmuring sound he hears? Is it the soft twittering of the birds at daybreak? The man at the fire sets down his kettle and listens, too. No. it is not the birds, but sweet strains of music. It grows louder and louder. The Indians with their squaws run to the river bank. The sun leaps up above the horizon and smiles in joy at what he beholds. For. lo. suddenly on shore all catch the strains of Cheer, Oshkosh. Cheer! A shout rises from the people on shore. The branches of the oak shiver. The flames leap higher, and as the old chief looks up the river he sees the mighty host whose coming he has been awaiting all night. There they are, each member of the new tribe radiant with the prospect before him. A smile passes over the old chief's face as he notes the advancing party. One grasps firmly a strong, tall staff fashioned at the top with O. N. S. with which he tries in vain to guide his frail canoe. Close beside him is a tall warrior who looks with disdain upon the crude efforts of his comrades. He has been in these great hunting grounds before and paddles with an air of experience; but alas, how often did the waters splash over into his bark which is already half filled with water. As the old chief glances over the fast approaching colony he secs many young squaws who have their canoes so filled with the material things of the world they have just left behind, that in their vain efforts to save the implements of war which proved so useful in former battles during their training days, they miss the main course of the river and guide their barks into a small stream leading to the westward. Last came the very young warriors, thoroughly enjoying the journey, but they. too. guide their barks into the wrong channel and soon find themselves against the branch of a tree fallen across the stream. Never have they come across such an impediment in their training days and so there is great perplexity as to what should be done. The young warriors call on the squaws with the many implements of warfare, who then so diligently search their crafts but find no implement or plan of action with which to overcome this difficulty. Just as they are about to despair, an aged member of the tribe steps from the thicket and hands one of the young braves a hatchet. They cut the branch and just as it falls note that they are in the wrong channel, so turn their barks about to follow their more fortunate comrades. Gayly and with many cheers the mighty host land then, as a little white cloud for a moment hides the bright light of the sun. they suddenly feel the solemnity of the great, new. real life upon whose duties they are entering and pass in silent procession before the old chief. The travellers are now surrounded by familiar comrades who to welcome them to this new land have come back to the home of their great chief. This is the festal day of all the year. The birds sing their best songs. The bees hum merrily in and out among the Rowers who are wearing their gayest colors. Everywhere from among the dark spruce trees comes the murmur of life. The old chief walks with head erect. Proud is he of the new tribe he is about to send forth into his vast hunting ground, and prouder still is he when he hears of the deeds of the returned warriors, some of whom have for many moons fought in the solitudes of the forest. The blue heavens, to be in harmony with the festivities of the old chief, hang out fleecy, white banners among which the golden sunlight plays. Just as the sun sinks below the western horizon comes the summons to the great feast. It is a long board at which Chief Oshkosh presides. The camp-fire leaps up to meet the dull glow of the western sky when, after the feast, the woods ring with Cheer. Oshkosh. Cheer.” Then, led by the old chief, they dance about the camp-fire. The great day is drawing to a close and all arc ready to embark. Through the dark shadows of the spruce trees runs the river, a stream of shining whiteness in the moonlight. On its banks arc drawn up many canoes. Every member of the tribe steps into his canoe and pushes off the bank. The old chief stoops to raise a large banner.—the sacred banner of the gold and white. Summoning all the strength of his withered arms he swings it high in the air. Thus another great tribe enters these vast hunting grounds. 8s 86 RAINS Upon rains ago. when the Land was new. the Happy Grounds were free ' from assemblages of many Nations. Of great number were the Tribes who dwelt happily in the Land. and. of these, great was their number who dwelt content in their native station. But there were among them Braves who said it was not good that they should live apart in their lodges. They must live as Nations in union and peace. Hearkening to the council of the Braves. Nation followed Nation in congregation. There was. however, a Nation that seemed most favored by the Spirits. It was planted in the early Suns, was guided and ruled by a Great Chief. Keeper-of-the-Paths-of-Men. In this Nation of Tribes, the Braves, and the Maidens and all were trained ; learned and skilled did they become. But the Great Chief loved his people and he chose from the ranks a good Sachem to lead and direct a single one of his Tribes, the ancient tribe. Lyceum. As time grew the Chief selected more Sachems three in number to lead his tribes of Alethcans. Philakeans, and Phoenicians. And they became strong under these greatest of Braves. Nor did they refrain from mingling, even as bands for learning; often have they joined their ranks and assembled with the friendliness of a Nation. Still are their Leagues advancing, increasing, and prospering; and the Great Chief. Keeper-of-the-Paths-of-Mcn, is pleased. K. Minor (I. ( Iiritlau A. Kripproe F. Cecil G. Katlar.l F. Sampton V.

Twenty-six of these bound themselves with chains of everlasting friendship and devotion. On the night before the rest day, they assemble in a wigwam and discuss, in loving spirit, what will liencfit their hand. And to preserve their ancient customs and traditions, each new maiden must endure, must lie taught the laws and customs that she in turn may teach those who follow to Ik- true and brave in spirit. They debate, discuss and declaim, all to letter their conditions and to preserve the name A’lethean. If you should visit, you may hear what the great men do and say. and of late they have studied what is written in the foreign land of France and in the land of the Italians. Often there is music and rejoicing. Often their brother I’hilakeans visit them and contend in friendly contest. Then arrayed in festive splendor they enjoy feasting and dancing. nd so many moons ami summers has this band of maidens dwelt here. .Many have departed from their l� and each summer, but their places soon are tilled.—filled by maidens who in years to come will always sing their Ki Ki . always praise and love Alethean.

Front among the ranks of the many, these Braves were called l v the Sachem: by hint, whom the greatest of Chiefs chose as a guide and a leader. Nay. no maidens have they in their numbers. Naught but Youths do they choose for their band, and these, they maintain, must be able. Since the primitive days of their tribal existence have they held as a limit to the membership of their ranks a band of two-score ten. It is thus that they hope to give to their numlicrs the advantage of frequent trial in the worthy course they pursue. Among the practices these Braves regard is a training in council proceedings. in parliamentary customs. In debate and oratory. Pk . are they versed, and in these have their Tribe gained fame. The welfare of each is the welfare in common: like brothers are they united. Commendable is the loyal spirit with which they uphold their name. To the Maiden Aletheans are they in kinship bound: a Sister Tribe to them arc these Maidens. Willi them do they hold their festivals, and merry, indeed, arc these times of mirth. Though days and moons fly into the Past and these Braves leave their former Nation, ihe memory of the old days will remain and with it the memory of their own Philakean. 01 It. Hoyt E. Schuoi M.

And once in ten Fourth-Moons do they read to the Braves and the Maidens the record kept of their munlter. But they have their festivals, too. Often do they assemble in a stranger Hall of the House: meet for an evening of mirth. In the past Ten-Moon there were festivals three, and the gladness was good to liehold. Maidens ami Braves rejoiced in festivity: and great happiness prevailed. Proud is this Tribe of its history, proud of the trophy theirs. At all times are they, as a band, inspired with loyalty for their noble name: inspired still more when assembled beneath the banner of Blue ami White, bearing the totem and the words of their hand.

In the days of the Fast, such Tribe nourished. Courage and valor had they, for were they not all Braves? Maidens and all that was maidenish did they banish from this their Tribe. So they prospered, but soon their numbers were falling. Give up their name- they could not: thoughts of their Sachem forbade it. F.ven so did these Braves come to learn that in the Maidens of their Tribe was Restoration. I lirough them their numbers increased and advanced; arose as if from ashes—even as the faldcd bird, the Phoenix, from which they chose their name. In customs and in pursuits, are the Phoenicians like unto Lyceum: long has their kinship ln-en marked. Much have they contested. but always in courtesy have the ties of kinship tribal liecn kept inviolate and un-severed. Great Chiefs have watched with interest, have inspired the Tribes to vie. giving in token to the victor the bust of a great Ancestor. And still in each Summer Moon do they contest, each vying again for the trophy. True to their tribal pledge, the League of the Phoenicians has striven for improvement and skill. Though its Maidens and Braves in the past Ten-Moon have not been foremost in name, yet have they persevered and by their perseverance in the pursuits of their noble Band, have made manifest a desire for Culture, not show.” ■ S m .V Miihmu ;.

Earnest Youths they were and faithful, thoughtful for their Tribe's best welfare. True of heart were they, assembled from the Four Tribes of the Nation. nd they met in the lirst twilight of each week to read ami listen, to discuss and to untangle those affairs of trilwl interest which were intricate and puzzling. To stimulate their judgments, make them accurate and careful, read they much of W ise-men's teachings, their decisions and opinions: pondered they on weighty questions, thought them through and then discussed them. Questions of Woman's Suffrage, Tariff, Taxes. Sanitation, and Canadian Reciprocity:—all of these, and many others which affect our Nation’s welfare, came within this Band’s attention. Their increased stores of wisdom, gained by faithful work and study, helped them to decide these questions in the way which best promoted tribal interests and welfare. This strong Band was of much value: Iwucfited much its members; for they learned to think more deeply, talk more carefully and wisely, and became of greater service to their Tribe and to the Nation. i 101 f H.

Sims ioo Skakespeare Clubs Once, in ages long departed. lived a man of wondrous Wisdom. (.earned he was in many subjects:—much he knew of Men and Nations. and the lives and nature of them. And he wished to give this knowledge to the future generations:—to his children, and their children and his children’s children’s children that they. too. might have great wisdom and might grow in understanding. So this man wrote plays and dramas, and when, by and by. his footsteps came no more into their Ijodgcs. and his Spirit free ami happy roamed the I.and of Golden Sunset:—when his children no more saw him. no more heard his words of kindness, still he could protect and guide them if they willed so. hv his teachings. Thus it is that Shakespeare’s wisdom long will live for all who seek it: and some of this Nation’s triliesmen wished to study from these dramas, to gain from their stores of wisdom some small |K rtioii to ennoble and uplift their tired spirits and to make their lives exalted. nd they formed two Leagues, these tribesmen: called them “Shakespeare Clubs”:—assembled on each second week and studied front some play the Club selected. They chose Mr. Mitchell to be I-cadcr of one ShakesjH are Club: the other chose for Leader our Miss Bagiev, and these two were of the triltcsmen of the Leagues the chiefest persons: for they guided all the reading, helped to make more clear the language when the meaning was too hidden. And this study was most helpful: members of the Club enjoyed it. gained in wisdom and in’culture and in deep appreciation of this wisdom of the Author, who by writing all his teachings still could guide them, though his Spirit many happy moons has wandered in the I.and of Golden Sunset. Browning Club And among all Nations. Browning was revered and much respected as a writer, poet, thinker, man of letters and of culture. Much of wisdom and much learning he embodied in his writings, and some Maidens of this Nation loved to read these and to study from the poems thoughts that hid there in the words and in the phrases. For they found there much that pleased them, much that charmed and much that soothed them: and they wished that all the people of our Nation might know Browning, and might love and understand him through a study of his writings. So these Maidens met together, asked Miss Peake to guide and help them: asked her it she would direct them in the work they had attempted She consented, and met with them in her home when passed two Sundays and three more days, and they studied Browning’s poems. Carefully they read these poems, found the thoughts which lie within them. And their study gave them knowledge, and aroused among the Nation interest and appreciation of the works of this great Writer. Pleased they were and very happy, and their hearts were glad within them. They grew strong and wise and ever pleased the Spirits of their Fathers.

Braves and Maidens, do assemble in a League they call the Glee Club. And their Leader is Miss Cundiff, who is sweetest of the Singers; for her heart and mind dwell ever near the Master of all Music. She it is who leads the Glee Club; leads the mighty League of Singers. It is a League both large and joyful. Twenty Braves and forty Maidens meet each week to sing and study the Music of the Masters, songs which are of rarest beauty, pleasing all the ears that hear them. In the twilight of each second day from Sunday. music issues from within the open doorway of the Hall where they assemble. Through the corridors it echoes, up the stairs it Hoats. most softly; gently melts, till all who hear it wonder at its passing sweetness. The first time the League assembled, when all other work was finished, chose they, from among their number, some who were to write a paper. This they call a Constitution, made of Laws and Rules of Conduct for the members of the Glee Club. Those who were chosen wrote the paper; wrote they, that if any tribesman absent be from a rehearsal, he shall forfeit to the treasury of the Glee Club, ten round coppers. And the tribesmen when they read this, scanned their pouches long, in silence; felt them, found them lean; concluded they would keep the ten good coppers, and would reach the Hall in season on the days of the rehearsals. Then Miss Cundiff’s heart was lighter, and more glad was she and happy, for the voices all were needed in the songs the Band were learning. Songs these were from greatest Masters; difficult and hard to render. But Miss Cundiff praised and helped them, guided, chided, cheered, and taught them; made them skilled and famed. Often in this City of our Fathers, others wished to hear the Glee Club and requested that the Singers sing their carols in their Lodges, fill the air with sweetest music. So. in Halls of Stranger-Tribesmen, at the Century, at the Opera, in the Churches, and their Lodges sang they all their sweetest music. Parts of the ' Elijah Chorus. and the opera. Chimes of Corne-ville”; these, and other masterpieces sang the Band so well and sweetly that the hearts of all were happy. Of the Maidens of the Glee Club, for the Girls' Quartet were chosen. Dorothy Van dc Plasche. Bessie Ellis. Loretta Kalk. and Ethel Ring: of the Braves, to form the Quartet. Walter Siewcrt. Gleason Scovil. Thomas Dunn, and Oswald Plenzke. And the voices of these Maidens sweetest were of all the Glee Club; of the Braves, the voices strongest, voices clearest, voices truest: and their singing pleased all hearers and won for the Glee Club, honor. Also of the Nation were there tribesmen who put Tongues and Voices into instruments they handled; instruments of wood and metal, dead things without life or being, until wakened by the touches of skilled fingers playing on them. These skilled tribesmen formed a Band, too: Normal Orchestra they named them, and the music which they rendered to their hearers was exquisite. And on the Glee Club and its members, blessings of the Fathers rested; the Great Spirit smiled upon them, and successes crowned their efforts. 5 c boys’ quartet 116 £22$ 1 20 iO. aims AMI WR-WHnars U-rah!

Feldt 9 % The Combat of Words and Wits And the Nation most favored hv the Spirits did grow and prosper. After a few moons the Great Chief. Kecper-of-thc-Paths-of-Mcn, said that it was not good that this Nation should live in seclusion. It must enter into friendly rivalry with other Nations that they all might become more intimate through intermingling. Hearkening to the counsel of the Great Chief, the Braves and the Maidens of this Nation did form a new League in which they might make plans for all debates and contests. And upon this new League they bestowed a new name. The Oratorical Association.” Then the Great Chief chose from their ranks a brave and good Sachem to lead and instruct them. As time grew, once in every Twelve-Moon this great Oshkosh Nation did encounter the Stevens Point Nation in friendly deliberation. To meet their sister Nation, from out the ranks of Braves and Maidens chose they debaters three. They were the most skilled of all their number. In the past Twelve-Moon did they select Anna Halberg. Ludwig Petersen, and Jennie Pratt from out the mighty Band of Juniors. In this were they chosen through-trial. On the last Quarter of the Fourth-Moon. the Stevens Point Braves and Maidens traveled to the lodges in the favored Land of the Early Suns. Here in the Council Hall did their team meet the Oshkosh debaters. Wise were the words that were spoken and sweeping the proofs that were settled. Whenat sunrise the strangers departed to their wigwams in the Northland, the two sister Nations no longer were strangers for they had mingled together. And the Oratorical Association remarked. “This result is good to behold! Henceforth we will meet other Nations in friendly debate and contention that through intercourse we may be more united. Back and forth did they send Runners; and it was found that Normal, Illinois, and Terre Haute. Indiana, were disposed to contend. The Nations three organized a League that is destined to thrive and be most successful. They did term this new Alliance. The Triangular Debating League.” From among all its Braves, each Nation did select after long and careful deliberation, six of its wisest and most skillful debaters. The great Oshkosh Nation did choose on the affirmative team Eigenberger. the Eloquent, Good, the Energetic, and Hulse, the Self-Controlled. On the negative team it appointed Moulton, the Impressive. Manning, the Straightforward, and Curtis, the Competent. During the New Fourth-Moon in the Council Hall of each of the three sister Nations, the subject was discussed and settled. Each affirmative team did remain in the home Lodge that it might welcome the negative team from one of the sister Nations. The Oshkosh negative team did travel far to the Southland to visit in the Lodges of the Indiana Nation. The Illinois negative team did oppose the Oshkosh arguers. mighty. And after the friendly contentions, which aroused the slumbering friendly spirit of all the Braves and the Maidens, in the Lodges of each sister Nation, solemnly smoked they the peace-pipe to convey to each other their good-will. Not only debating was heard in the great Council Hall of our Nation, but through the long days and nights three youths and a maid worked with labor persistent. in drafting exalted convictions, the Maidens and Braves to ennoble. And in the new First-Moon before all the Nation assembled, spoke they these lofty ideas. 120 inspired all the listeners with their ardor. The wise Chiefs of the Nation did choose the one who in his oration embodied the worthiest sentiments; did choose him to encounter all the other Wisconsin Nations. The great Brave. Clifford Mulrine, Son of the Emerald, was elected, and attended by many Braves and Maidens journeyed he far to the Westward, to the land of the great l.a Crosse Family. Pleased was that Nation to receive them and welcomed they them to their Lodges. Here in the splendid Council Hall they met Braves and Maidens in number. Great was the friendly spirit that grew up among all this multitude. Inspired were they all by the orators and long were the thoughts that these people carried back to the land of their Fathers. For many and many moons afterwards told they of their trip to the Nation that lies in the region of the Father of Waters in the glorious Land of the Westwind; long did this experience lay treasured up in their memories. Now no more do the great Nations refrain from uniting; often have they associated their numbers and congregated with the good-will as of one Family. Wise and ennobled have they become through intermingling. Still is this friendliness growing, thriving, flourishing; and the Great Chief. Keeper-of-the-Paths-of-Men. is content. Oh. Manning is a man of words, A man of wit and worth ; He helped to beat old “Terry Hut” And gave us joy and mirth. And Moulton made a record speech. He made a wondrous hit. And then declared he owed it all Unto a woman's wit.” And Curtis never fell behind Though he hasn’t any wife. He says that Clew took care of him While he helped to win the strife. So here's to .Mr. Moulton. To Curtis.- Manning, too; They've made us all so happy We don't know what to do. OUR WARRIORS K. MancheMcr |( imcH) II. Meyer II. W’hlWumb (I. Sicwcri R.

Kellner • ♦ The Achievements of the Scalpers This army of braves took up the war path with great enthusiasm in spite of the many odds with which they had to contend. In the first place they were without a second band of warriors with whom to scrimmage. This, however, did not daunt them. The braves, entering the contest, who had been on the war path for Oshkosh in former years, were Flannagan, Porlier. and Ruckweed; from last year’s second band came Gardner. Whitcomb. E. Turner. Tufts, and Meyer. We were further recruited by Steinfeldt from the De Pere Nation; Krippene. from the neighboring High School Nation; W. Siewert. from our midst; Odean. hailing from the Stevens Point Nation to the north of us; and Fellner. who had his first taste of such warfare. Such was the line-up of this noble band of warriors who went out to battle for the honor of our Nation. To Chief Manchester is due the highest commendation for the results he accomplished by his training. In practice, half-way work, poor speed, and inaccuracy were not tolerated. His war-cry as he followed the braves up and down the practice clearing was. “A little more pep. boys! A little more pep!” Before the first autumn moon had begun to wane the hatchet was dug up. and the calumets were put far out of sight in the medicine tent. War was first declared against the Kaukauna Nation, but before the conflict began, peace was agreed upon. At the time of the next full moon, hostilities were opened with the neighboring High School Nation. But the presence of a neutral band on the intended field of battle made fighting impossible, so the peace pipe was reluctantly smoked, though all knew that the truce would be of but short duration. To satisfy the general thirst for war. a sham battle was fought with the warriors of the Omro Nation, and our braves returned from the strife with eighty-two scalps. Seven suns later a raid was made on the Waukesha Nation; but our warriors were repulsed, having lost seven scalps and secured none. The campaign had now begun in earnest. Next the band descended upon the village of the Ripons, and when the struggle was ended each side had six scalps to its credit. Later in the season we were attacked by the warriors of St. Norbert's tribe of the De Pere Nation; but our braves were on the look-out and in best fighting trim. The plucky little fellows from the north were forced to retreat without a trophy, while our warriors rejoiced in forty-three fresh hostile scalps. Then, after seven suns, the nation experienced another attack, this time from the strcng Nation of the Northwesterns. who returned home with twenty-six trophies of war hanging from their belts, while our braves succeeded in taking only three scalps. But the fiercest battle of the season was waged when hostilities were reopened with the neighboring High School Nation. Emboldened by the memory of recent victories, the enemy advanced: and just as bravely our warriors went out to meet them. After a long, hard struggle, the enemy left the field of battle, carrying with them five scalps, while our men had taken six from them. Great was the rejoicing that accompanied this victorious ending of the campaign. For several days the rejoicings continued, but at length, after a great bon-fire and war-dance, the paint and feathers were put aside, the hatchet was buried, and all the members of the tribe, both squaws and braves, settled down to the work of the winter. 13?

From his earliest youth he was one of the Michigan Nation, first living in the village of the Battle Creek Tribe, and then going to the great tribe whose wigwams are pitched at Ann Arbor. There he learned the arts of warfare and also of the greater games known among the different nations. After having trained the youth of other tribes in these arts for many moons, he came to the land of the Wisconsins and enrolled in the Oshkosh Nation. Under his guidance our warriors have won many battles, and in the games of peace, our braves have become champions of the Wisconsins. PIG-IRON” PORLIER The Fleet of Foot Chief ' Pig-Iron'’ played left forward. So skillful a forward is rarely found in this or in any other of the neighboring nations. In basket-throwing as well as in team work he excelled; and many a time this agile brave from Dc Pere brought all the members of the tribe to their feet by some spectacular throw. In all the contests with hostile bands, never yet has one been found who could successfully guard this brave of the Oshkosh Nation. We regret that he will not be with us next year. r r 136 TURNER The Eagle Eye Turner, the oldest brave on the team, played steady, consistent hall during the entire season. His position was right forward and he played it as coolly and care-fully as a veteran should. In almost every contest he delighted the squaws, papooses, and braves of the nation by making some long, spectacular shot from the middle of the Lodge. His favorite throw was a long, clean one from the side lines. Ample proof of his ability, both in team work and throwing, can be seen From the large number of baskets made by him in every game. KRIPPENE The Speedy In all contests with hostile nations, Krippene, our star center, was a surprise to those who played against him. Although this was his first year in basketball, he developed into an admirable player. He was the lightest brave on the team but altogether too fast for any of his opponents. He played against many tall braves, but not one of them could out-jump him. His team work was marvelous, and his ability in placing the ball greatly aided in running up the score. Krip will be in next years team, and great things arc expected of him. i' Ur WHITCOMB The Alert Big Brave Whitcomb, who so successfully played with this noble band of braves through the basketball season, was the nucleus around which the entire team centered. Right guard was the position allotted him, but he played everything. In almost every game it was a common sight to see this big brave sprinting down the Lodge, dribbling the ball in front of him. with a whole hand of hostile braves in eager pursuit, and. then, to their surprise and disgust -to see him toss it into the basket. He was a speedy and quick-witted player, and his opponents found that he knew the tricks of the game thoroughly. The fact that our band finished the season so victoriously is due in a large measure to his power and agility. STEINFELDT The Steadfast Stein, as the braves called him. played left guard with Lcs ' Turner. He was a guard in the true sense of fhc word. No matter how rough the opposing braves, no matter how tricky their play's, no matter how strong their offense. Stein always stood his ground. He was ever cool, whether guarding the basket or checking some reckless opponent. He did not try' to make many baskets, bur so effectual was his guarding that his opponent made even less. The opposing braves usually misjudged this short, stocky brave, hut after one or two tussles with him. they were careful to avoid him whenever possible. He was admired by his own nation and feared by the opposing braves. r •3 TURNER The Reliant To this husky brave is due to a great extent the success of this years team. This was his first year on the Normal team, and his playing gave ample proof of his ability to hold down any position. He was our most versatile brave, for whether he played guard or forward, he broke up the opponents' prays as easily and as readity as he shot baskets. He will be back next year and undoubtedly will be one of the best men on next year’s team. He participates in all forms of athletics, and is one of our best developed warriors. S1EWERT The Persistent The last Brave of this noble Band is George Siewert. Tall, speedy, and accurate in his work, he made an ideal warrior. He practiced untiringly and kept in good condition. should he be called upon to substitute for one of the other braves. He aided them in getting in good condition, for it was this brave who led the younger warriors against the older braves in their daily practice. kri 130 The Prowess of Our Warriors In our large new Eastern wigwam, In the wigwam of the Normal. There the Oshkosh braves assembled; There the squaws and the papooses Gathered on the Friday evenings. On the evenings of the winter. There to witness all the struggles. All the battles, fierce contentions With the warriors of our neighbors. In this wigwam at the Normal Gathered warriors from afar off. Came the warriors from Milwaukee. From the college at Milwaukee. From the college called Marquette. And they carried not the peace pipe For they sought a battle with us. Sought to struggle with our warriors. But our warriors, brave and crafty. Did not offer them the peace pipe, Did not smoke with them the peace pipe; But forth into battle strode they. Marched they boldly into battle With the warriors from Milwaukee. And the warriors from the southward Could not stand against our brave men. Could not fight against our warriors. And we scalped them all so quickly. Scalped the warriors from Milwaukee. Toward the southward, leagues far distant. Lived another tribe of brave men. Lived a tribe of noble warriors. Once these warriors from the Normal. From the Normal at Milwaukee. In a moment of fierce anger Dug up then the blood-red hatchet. And with war cries wild and piercing. Journeyed swiftly to the northward. To the northward toward our Normal Where our sturdy band of warriors Stood awaiting and a-watching For the warriors from the southward. Upon the floor of our new wigwam. Of our large and spacious wigwam. Raged the battle of the Normals. Of the warriors from the southward And the brave men of our own tribe. But our warriors, ever stronger. Ever mighty in all warfare. There defeated those brave fighters. Warriors from Milwaukee Normal. In the northward lived a people On the banks of the Fox River. Lived a band of mighty warriors. Warriors fleet of foot and skillful. At Lawrence College lived this people And with them we also battled. Two long nights we struggled with them. But our warriors stronger, swifter. Beat the braves from Lawrence College. Beat them twice in open battle. Scalped the people from the northward. From the southward, from the westward. From the eastward, from the northward. Came the warriors of all nations. From all tribes came their brave men. And we fought and struggled with them. Fought and strove against their warriors. But in every battle with them. Our own brave men were the strongest. Our own warriors were the victors Of the tribes in all Wisconsin. '40 THWW 142 Feats of the Agile Youths Often during the spring, the members of the nation, both squaws and braves, came together in the great Long Lodge lor the purpose of witnessing the feats of muscular prowess of the young men. There were three such spectacles in which braves, skilled in all the muscle-building and health-giving exercises, took part. The first great event was held at the time of the early spring moon, and was open to all who wished to enter. Many had been training for more than a moon and were ready to contend with each other in the great Lodge. Especially close in the first exhibition were the contests over the standing high jump, the running high jump, and the pole vault. The first of these three was almost a tie between the two braves. Fellner and Kenny, but finally Fellner succeeded in out-jumping his opponent. In the running high jump. Fellner tied with Porlier. the lot deciding in favor of the latter. Porlier and Fellner contended for a long time for first place in the pole vault. Pig Iron finally won the event. All the contests were spirited and every brave did well. The tournament closed after Chief Fellner had been declared champion. Before the moon had waned, a second contest was held for the benefit of those braves who had not succeeded in taking places in the first meet. In the meanwhile these braves had been training daily, and during the spectacle a great improvement was seen in them by the other representatives of the nation. In less than a moon, the third contest took place. This was a contest between the four different classes into which the young braves of the nation are divided. Many won places in the events. Fellner. although he represented the lowest class, proved the champion of the entire nation, excelling in jumping, vaulting, and running. The three braves. Kenny. Harvey, and Porlier were his most formidable opponents. All in all. the results of these meets have shown us that our braves rank well with those of other nations in time, wind, and endurance. The Record of the Runners During the past year, the young men of the Oshkosh tribe have been especially interested in running. All during the fall, and even when the days had begun to get crisp and chilly, the young braves had been taking endurance runs, two and sometimes three times a week. The number of men dressed in running suits and moccasins, who tried in these runs, was most encouraging. It was in the eleventh moon of the white man's year that the swift runnel's of the tribe held their annual cross-country race. On the crisp morning of November nineteenth, the men who had entered. Fellner. Stumpf. Heyman. Graper. Zellner. Petersen, De Grande, and Harvey, lined up in the clearing back of the great east wigwam. At the drawing of Chief Manchester's bow. the race started. The course, which is estimated to be three and one-half miles, led down the Elm pathway to the New York trail, up the latter to the great Main highway, which the runners crossed and entered upon the Neenah trail. Soon the course turned and led the men around the great clearing where the sons of the nation enter into athletic competition with the representatives of other nations, and then back to the great wigwam. Here, fifteen or twenty minutes after the race first started, the squaws and braves had again assembled to meet the runners as they finished. Soon they began to arrive from all directions. First came Harvey, the Fleet-Footed, having run the entire course in twenty-one minutes. To him was awarded a silver cup and a ribbon. To the other runners ribbons were awarded in the order that they entered. Then one by one the gathering broke up. and squaws and braves returned to their wigwams, well pleased with the showing the runners had made. 43 144 The Struggle of the Maidens The maidens of the nation cannot go out to battle with the warriors; they cannot enter into fierce competitions with their brothers; even the pleasures of the hunt and the privilege of sitting in the great Council Lodge are denied them. But in the game of basketball, the braves and warriors acknowledge the ability of their sisters, who show remarkable skill in playing and accurate knowledge of the rules. During the winter moons, the Long Lodge was given over to them for an hour each day. They practiced faithfully and became so efficient that they were able to throw baskets almost as well as their brothers. The goal of their labors was the tournament that took place between the teams of the four divisions of the nation at the time of the spring moon as soon as the sap began to flow. And so when the time for the great event came before the waning of the third moon, all the teams, as a result of diligent preparation, were in readiness. On the thirteenth day of the moon, the tournament began. The first game was between the youngest maidens and the most experienced players of the nation. It was well-played. but the experience of the older team told upon the younger maidens, and the former gained the victory. The second game in which the youngest division figured was played two days later with the team representing the third division of the nation. Although the team work of the youngest was most praiseworthy, they were unable to make but three points. The opposing team proved their skill in making baskets by gaining twenty points. Now the junior and the Senior maidens each had one game to their credit, and as a result the rivalry which always exists between these two groups was intensified. Then it was fitting that the next game should be between these two teams. In the great Long Lodge where the contest was held, were gathered many braves and maidens, there to cheer for their sisters and encourage them during the game. The teams were very evenly matched in team work and basket-shooting, and it was a pleasure to see our maidens playing this most healthful game in such a well-organized manner. No one knew until the game was ended to whom the victory would fall. The Juniors, however, gained the honor. Three days later they .again played in the Lodge, this time against the representatives of the second group. As in the two preceding games, the Juniors displayed the results of the winter's practice in a very pleasing manner by out-plaving their opponents in many ways, although the latter did excellent work. The game resulted in favor of the Juniors. These maidens having won three games were declared the champions of the nation. Before the next sun had set. the Sophomores made good their recent loss at the hands of the Juniors. This time the Lodge was the scene of a contest between those playing for the first and second divisions. After this Sophomore victory, these elated maidens played the last game of the tournament with the Seniors. The work of both teams had been good throughout the series and it did not deteriorate in the end. The maidens of the fourth group were forced to work hard in order that the victory might be theirs by one point. Thus the girls’ basketball tournament ended, and with it the season. The maidens settled down to their regular work, feeling that they had gained much from the vigorous exercise, and their brothers feel proud of them and hope to see the day when the four classes of the nation will unite in sending out those who will contest as cretitably with the maidens of other nations as they did among themselves in the Long Lodge at Oshkosh.

When the last dull glow of red faded in the west, the moon rose behind the black walls of the Oshkosh Normal School and tipped the tree-tops with silver. Here and there through the leafy branches fell a tremulous gleam of moonlight and played on the lawn of the campus. From the waters of Winnebago came a wind wafted soft and low. Such was the night when Wisconsin gathered about her, at Oshkosh, in the shadow of the high protecting walls of the old Normal School, her sons and daughters. For here it was that the great panorama of the “Awaking of the State was to be unrolled. Glad voices were heard as the children of Wisconsin gathered together on the large campus. Suddenly all laughter ceased, a hush fell over the scene, bright lights flashed out among the trees, only the music of the frogs and the hum of insects could be heard as the wonderful panorama began to unfold. As Wisconsin's children of today looked there, before them stood the great King Henry IV. of France, handing to the noble Champlain the commission which opened to the French people the New World. Then came the herald announcing the Queen of France, who walked slowly into Court with her many attendants. How gay was the life of the Court, how little there was of real life compared to the life in which we next see Champlain. Here he lands at an Indian village with his comrades and two returning Indians. Champlain, ever alert, sees many hidden possibilities in this great new land. No welcome greets the returning Sacobi until Washodamoak sees him. With great awe the Indians listen to the stories of the land from which the pale-faces came. Much pleased are the Indians with the talk of Champlain, and as the panorama continues to unfold, Wisconsin sees the result of the coming of the French. Here are French traders seeking gain, priests to carry on the work of the Jesuit order. Father Allouez comes to the Winnebago Indians with his many followers chanting the Te Deum as they march through the wilderness. Next Wisconsin sees the French taking formal possession of this land. Bonfires are built and speeches are made. Now Fort Mackinaw appears. Quebec is lost and British soldiers are at the Fort where only the French were formerly seen. The fatal game of la crosse passes now before Wisconsin and the Indians suddenly turn it into a massacre. In the last scene Wisconsin finds herself in her own land among the quiet groves of cedar in the valley of the Fox. Here the Menominee Indians cede to the United States Government the lands of the Fox River valley, and they themselves turn to the great hunting-grounds of the north. The end of the panorama has come. Wisconsin, glad to know her children have witnessed the many factors which entered into the early history of our great land, praised loud and long the unrolling of the great panorama. •St HEAr'flUCHt-AUCH SUPPOSE Suppose, my friends, that Mr. Keith should give no morning talks. And that instead we’d be allowed to go for morning walks. Suppose that we should hear when we should reach Miss Webster’s door: • Oh. throw away your P. I . R.’s and don't grind any more.” And suppose that practice teachers never met on Wednesday night. Excepting as an evening of fun and pure delight. Suppose that in the Rostrum work, just Faculty performed. And all the rest were free to do just as they wished unharmed. Suppose the Regents never came except to treat the class With chocolates and sheep-skins for every lad and lass. And now suppose our library should all be set apart For couples there, to sit and tell affairs about the heart. Suppose each girl who pattered through the Auditorium Might have a chaperone along to make her feel at home, non t you suppose that school would be one perfect round of bliss. And make you feel that you could give each teacher there a hand-shake? 152 PREPARATION OF A MODEL TEACHER. C. P. Material: A High School graduate H. S. G.) C.. normal crucible, arithmetic bromide solution, grammar hydroxide, geography salts, history acid solution, solid geometry (small pieces), gymnasium chips, algebraic acid, physics nitrate, nitrous oxide of music, pedagogy sulphide, wash bottle containing distilled criticisms. Operation and Results: The H. S. G. is brought in laden with the oxide of indefiniteness, permeated wtih the nitrate of self-conceit, vaguely coated with crystals of incompleteness, but apparently making an appearance of concentrated astuteness. In reality it is a gaseous substance with a coating of judicious lacquer. It is carefully noted and tabulated. thoroughly washed with distilled criticisms, and allowed to dry. It is then carefully weighed in the physical training department, and after being heated in a normal crucible is weighed again. The loss of weight should be recorded, and the process repeated until the weight is constant. This loss in weight is due to the very gaseous nature of H. S. G., and the purpose of the heating is to expel the excess of High school air. The H. S. G.. which is now one-third of its original size and brown instead of green in color, is treated with a solution of history acid, and the resulting solution is neutralized with grammar hydroxide. The reaction is violent. Dense fumes of profanity are given off and tear-shaped deposits form on the sides of the crucible. Small pieces of solid geometry are now added to the solution as long as they will be absorbed. A saturated solution of arithmetic bromide and geography salts are added in excess. After boiling a short time, nitrous oxide of music is forced into the solution through a pitch-pipe. Caution! Nitrous oxide is a very poisonous gas and if inhaled produces hysterical laughing. A cloudy precipitate, yellowish green in color, results. The product is then filtered through examination paper and the residue is washed with distilled criticisms and digested with aqua regia. (History and algebraic acid 2 to I.) This acid solution is evaporated nearly to dryness and taken up with physics nitrate. To this is added a normal library readings solution. A muddy precipitate is formed. This is removed from the solution by filtering, then rejected. The solution is allowed to leach through gymnasium chips and the liquid comes through a clear golden color. Pedagogy sulphide is run into this solution at a moderate rate and a gold-like precipitate is formed. Caution! Pedagogy sulphide is extremely effective when inhaled in excess, producing a nauseating headache. This solution is filtered through regents' examinations and the gold filtrate is heated again in the crucible. A fusion takes place, gold crystals are deposited on the sides of the crucible. Upon cooling, this deposit assumes the form of a model teacher C. P. BARE TRACKS In the Council Halls of the Normal. On a certain .Monday mom. Some strange, mysterious footprints The pathways did adorn. They were large, distinct and impressive. As became the makers of them. We thought they were worthy to copy. So you see the result of our pen. MEASLES Each new year dawns, and grows, and waxes strong. Til Winter grasps us with an icy thong. Then one thing always happens that is wrong. We have the measles! Full many students toss their heads on high. We've had them” or A child's disease. they cry. But one and all succumb at last and sigh. have the measles! Each year the Prexy tries to thwart their course. He lectures from the rostrum 'til he’s hoarse. He says it’s crime and ought to bring remorse To spread the measles! But all in vain his eloquence he pours Upon the souls within the Normal doors; The students get the measles by the scores Those measly measles! They fall alike on grinders and on bluffs”. On girls with braids and girls with many puffs. Upon the Sunday-school boys and the toughs. Impartial measles! This year the measles greedy were. I swear. Not once they ravaged through our Normal fair; But twice they boldly came and claimed their share. Oh. unjust measles! So here's advice that I shall offer you. Before you enter here, have the measles, -do! And save yourself and Prexy many a stew About the measles. JINGLES There’s a city by the name of La Crosse-ee, Where in March all the Normals did flock-ee; Our school sent some there With our colors so fair To hear C. L. Mulrine talk-ee. There was a young President fair Of the self-government system so rare. She tried to be stern. But her heart would just yearn To be kindly and gay everywhere. 54 Pa’s Visit to the Normal Yes. folks. I've been to Oshkosh, a visitin' my darter Sally at the Normal. -Mighty smart little gal I've got down there, ef she is some given to puttin' on airs. S’pose you'd like to hear about my trip, would ye? All right. When I got there Sally seemed right glad to see me. Well, that thar school is jest like a picter puzzle thrown together thout no fittin' 'tall. Sally, she said ter me that I'd better stick close to her. cf I didn't want ter git lost. Wall, that sort-a riled me and I spoke up. an' says 1. 'Wall, my gal. I'll grant yer gettin' lamin' here I don't know nothin' about, but jest trust yer dad to keep his bearin's wherever he is. So 1 sent her off to her class and started out to hev a look at things fer myself. It seemed like a good system to take each door jest as it came, so's not to overlook anything. The first room 1 struck was full of boys and gals, and I’ll be jiggered ef they didn't have them fixed jest like 1 used ter see 'em in the old meetin'-house.—boys on one side and gals on t' other. Up in front was a smart-lookin' little lady with a stick in her hand. That was another su’prise. I s'posed they didn't have no need to lick boys and gals as big as my Sally. First thing she says was. “Take dough, and 'stablish the key feelin'! Then, such sounds 1 never heard before. I'm used to hearin' pigs squealin' and I used ter think that they was kinder harsh, but it was like music in the sinner's ear compared with that schreechin’ bunch of boys and gals. I began ter think somethin' was kind o' queer in that air room, so I jest went fer the door, and skunned out. Wall. I'll be switched ef I didn't think I'd landed in ma's kitchen, fer 1 smelt coffee and molasses cookies all through that hall. My sense of smell is right smart, and it took me straight to a big. queer-lookin' kitchen, full of purty gals with white aperns on. Wall, wall.” says I. is this a free lunch counter? One gal up and smiled and says, Ask Professor Roehm or Mr. Ruckweed. Then she poured out a cup of coffee an' giv' me a cookie, an' I'll tell ye right now that they was es good as ma kin make, ef I do hate ter say so. Wall. I thanked that gal and told her I'd hev ter be goin'. as 1 was lookin' 'round, seein' things. First thing I got outside into the hall, a hull bunch of gals come streamin' out of a great big room and, I declare, they had on them harem skirts! They was kinder short and real full. Says I ter myself. Wall. 1 do hope Sally don't take to wearin' them skirts! Twas gettin' on towards four o’clock, an' I thought I'd go and hev a little talk with the President. I found a flight of stairs and dim' up. landin' in another hall. In one corner there was the funniest little contrivance ye ever saw. There was a big basin an’ over it was a little glass cup. and water jes’ kep' bubblin' up an' over that thing, merry as ye please. They certainly do hev all sorts of amusements fer the kids there. Next thing I heard was bells a' ringin' and then them halls was full of gals and boys. After it got quiet 1 walked up the hall, when all of a sudden I heard some awful yellin' from behind closed doors. I asked a gal standin near what it was. She says. It’s only Good practicin’ his debate. Says I. “Wall, it may be good practicin', but it sounds mighty dangerous ter me. Jest then Sallv came up. and pertv soon we went over to her club fer supper. 1 guess the Normal's all right, ef some things do seem foolish. An' 1 tell ye. the best things in it are Sally and them there cookies and coffee. I et and drunk. 155 NORMAL PRIMER, OR. WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN Mary Minerva had a Cat. It was a nice Thomas Cat. (Mary Minerva loved her nice Thomas Cat. Luthah Buhbank had no Cat. He did not like Cats, but he wanted a cat to dis-sect' in his lab'-o-ra-to-ry. One night he heard a big noise on his back fence. It was Mary Minerva's nice Thomas Cat! Now. what do you think that bad Luthah Buhbank did? He shot that nice Thomas Cat with a gun. Then he took it to his lab-o-ra-to-ry and dis-sected it to see if it had in-di-ges'-tion. When Mary Minerva heard of it. she went to Luthah Buhbank and said sad words to him. Now Luthah loves Cats and will never dis-sect' another nice Thomas Cat. because he knows that cats don't have in-di-ges'-tion. They just have lungs. Little midget. Lucy Potter Says that she has surely goiter Fix those big high shelves. Don't you think there are really lotter People taller than Miss Potter Who could fix those shelves? Roehm ist ein Deutscher Lehrer. And a good one. so they say F.r kann Deutsch sehr gut sprechen As he goes upon his way. Mitchell’s sayings are old yet new. From the Bible he quoteth a few. Then with Shakespeare at hand Your lessons he'll plan. And make every one quite new. If tis true that man is won By maid's culinary- art. Then tis strange, yea. strange indeed.
