OUR NEW REGENT In the summer of 1912, Clough Gates was appointed resident regent, to succeed Charles H. Crownhart. It is believed that Mr. Gates will make a worthy successor to the man who did so much for the school. Mr. Gates was born in the City of Destiny, 36 years ago, and graduated from the Nelson Dewey High School in 1893. He attended the Carleton College for two years, and graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1902. For several years, he was managing editor of the Superior Telegram, and is now vice-president of the Allan Peck Company. 32 7 8o GI TCI IE (I I'M EE Page 4 ASA M. ROYCE.

DALLY GI TONE CUM EE V 8 IRELAND AND HOME RULE The stage on which the tragedy of Irish life is being acted is a country ‘‘piteously eloquent of its hapless history. It is an island about two-thirds the size of Wisconsin, one great farm of romantic hills and picturesque fields which sorely need the touch of the husbandman. The pathetic record of its political mismanagement is written in the dilapidated cottages which clot its plains and valleys, and in the drooping shoulders of its men grown old in servitude. “Always and everywhere one feels the brooding presence of the lives that have been lived, of the history made, and of the problems remorselessly bequeathed.” Into this island, one beautiful May morning in the twelfth century, came Henry II. of England on a conquest for land. He plundered the farmhouses where contented peasants lived in simple happiness, and left the island a desert marked by ditches containing the bodies of thousands of martyrs. From this visitation dates the beginning of Ireland's most difficult problem—the problenv of the land; for, during the next six centuries, practically all of the tillable land of the island was taken from the people by force, and conferred upon the titled and adventurous favorites of the crown of England. And to-day this condition is no better. The tillers of the soil, comprising eight-tenths of the people, own but one-tenth of the land, and that the poorest soil of the island. Within an hour’s ride of these impoverished districts where starving humanity suffers, slaves, and slowly dies on stony hillsides, are thousands of acres of beautiful rolling fields of green upon which graze bur a few scattered herds of cattle. The land laws permitting the existence of such conditions arc the most unjust that ever disgraced any statute book in a civilized country. Nor is this the only evil condition in the little island. Equally pernicious is the system of administration and taxation. With a population about the same as Scotland, Ireland is forced to maintain a police system twice as large, and to pay five million dollars more for its maintenance. Her judicial system costs her one million a year more. The cost of her total civil government amounts to nearly twice as much, and she enjoys the privilege of supporting five times as many officials. That Ireland, in proportion to her ability, is paying fourteen million dollars too much annually, is the verdict of a commission appointed a few years ago to investigate her condition. England overtaxes Ireland, she inflicts her with vast unnecessary burdens, she squeezes out of her about twice as much, in proportion to her means, as she exacts from her own countrymen, and the net result of the whole is an increasing loss. The indignation of Ireland’s sympathizers is further aroused by the chaotic condition of her school system. Poorly equipped schools costing less than the amount paid for her police system, underfed and undertrained teachers administering a curriculum wholly divorced from the economic needs and realities of the country; and to crown all, a National Hoard of educational amateurs insensible to Irish ideas:— such are the prominent features of the Irish system of education. In our country, the first lesson that the young American learns is to love ar.d cherish the stars and stripes. He is told of the Father of his Country ar.d of the great Emancipator. Page 9 GITCsHE GUM EE The educational system of Ireland, however, provides for no such training. The young Irishman is not taught to love and cherish the harp and shamrock; he is not told of Daniel O’Connell and Robert Emmet. Instead he is taught about England and her great men. It would seem that the Irish schools are maintained to destroy every trace of an Irish civilization. Irish education will never he satisfactory until Irish people have taken it into their own hands. If anything were wanting to complete this picture of oppression and injustice, it is more than supplied in the great factor of colonization. Seven centuries ago, England planted Ireland with Scotch and English colonists. Their descendants now occupy the county known as' Ulster, a hotbed of political unrest. Every nation has its source of social discord. In America it is monopoly; in Germany, taxation; in Persia, finance; and in Ireland it is Ulster. Why is the legislation, administration, and taxation of Ireland the most unjust and most poorly managed in the world? Because of the Ulster influence. The citizens of Ulster hold every important government position in Ireland. Is it just that the county of Ulster, containing less than one-tenth of the population of all Ireland, should control the whole country? No. Is this a representative government that gives the people liberty and justice? Emphatically, no. Such is the fruit of seven hundred years of English rule in Ireland—a rule which Sidney Brooks describes by the following words: “I scarcely know what fault it lacks or what merit it possesses.” It has reduced the population of the island from nine million in 1847 to four million to-day. Every year sees from thirty to forty thousand men and women leaving the country. The young, the vigorous, and the fit are fleeing as from a plague; the unfit arc staying. Ireland is degenerating into a country of aged and infirm. It is the only white man’s country where the number of souls is decreasing instead of increasing from year to year. The nation is gradually dying. If this constant decrease keeps up, “Irishmen will be as scarce on the banks of the Shannon as Indians on the shores of Manhattan. Alongside of this decrease in population has gone a diminishing of the country’s wealth. Ireland is the poorest country in the world. Hundreds of thousands of her inhabitants exist only through contributions from other lands. In thousands upon thousands of families the men and boys must spend six months of the year in England in order to earn enough money to carry their families through the winter. In a word, the Irish in Ireland are kept alive by the Irish who have gone to other lands. The average earning capacity per capita is only seventy-five dollars annually. And this deplorable condition has grown up under the administration of England, the greatest country in the world. What have the Irish done to deserve such treatment? For a very apt illustration let us turn our attention to the great army of Britain. There is not a battlefield of any importance in modern English warfare that has not been stained by the Irishman’s blood. He was with Edward IV. in the War of the Roses. He was with Marlborough at the bloody battle of Malplaquet. He let! the army that defeated Napoleon at the ghastly battle of Waterloo. He was with that invincible line of red as it swept across the plains of burning African sand. With that line he climbed hand over hand up the slopes of mountains. Boer cannon crumbled the rocks in his face. Boer riflemen poured a storm of bullets about him. His blood has reddened the sod, moistened the grass, and flowed in the streams all over the GITCHE GUM EE Page 10 British Empire. The best British generals from Wellington to Lord Roberts have been Irishmen. On the battlefield when the cannon roar, and the muskets blaze, and the blood flows, the Irish troops arc always in front bearing the burden. They arc the backbone of the English army. Yet, in the eyes of the world, the Englishmen and the gentlemen with the bare knees have received all the credit. It is not enough that a few Englishmen should own the soil of Ireland, that she should be overtaxed fourteen million every year, that the education system should he a curse to the country, that the country should he settled with people who have no interest in its future welfare, that the population is decreasing every year, that it is the poorest country in the world, but added to this into “the wounds of injustice and conquest must he ruhhed the salt of insolence and tyranny.” During the last seven centuries, whether in peace or war, famine or plenty, England’s greatest national question has been: What shall we do with Ireland? Several similar problems of less importance have been presented to English statesmen and have been solved. The government of Canada, which was fully as unorganized as that of Ireland, was granted Home Rule by England in 1840. In India, a country ten times as large as the British Isles, when the natives revolted and confusion was unprecedented, this great problem was solved by the granting of partial Home Rule. To-day Canada is one of the most progressive nations of the world, and India is rapidly improving. The colonies in South Africa. New Zealand, and Australia have all been dealt with in the same way. But during all this time, the question of Ireland’s fate has remained unanswered. The only satisfactory answer must be the one that England has already given to her other possessions—the granting of Home Rule. To-day the cry of these wronged people has gone out anew and the whole civilized world is considering it. Among Englishmen there is an honest desire to make reparation for the evils which misgovernment has inflicted. In their pathetic attempt to understand Irish character, the old bitterness and rancor have almost died out. The senseless taunt that the Irish are unfit for self government is heard no more. “Moreover, the lesson of South African pacification has sunk deep into their consciousness.” They must acknowledge “that even under most adverse circumstances, appeasement and gratitude may he had from a policy of trusting a nation instead of trying to dragoon it. The constitutional objection to Home Rule has inevitably lost something of its power and the bugaboo of separation has been deprived of its terrors.” It is now only a matter of time until the objections of the Unionists arc recognized as economically selfish, bigoted, and ignorant; and the last influence directed against independent government in Ireland will be abolished. Then, however inadequate and unstable Home Rule may be, it will at least embody a policy more honorable to England and less harmful to Ireland than the present administration. Would Ireland prosper under Home Rule? In building up the character of man or nation no factor is more vital than responsibility, and this sense of responsibility for their own destiny and development, which only Home Rule can give, is precisely what the Irish need. The great farms would smile back in bounteous harvest. Her ships would ply every sea. She would distribute her products to all parts of the world. She would introduce a modern method of education. She would reorganize her government on a more liberal plan. She would distribute her land more equitably. 'I he young and vigorous would not go to other countries. “The little Page it cure I Hi GUM EE island so long oppressed would forget its wrongs and placing a chaplet of shamrocks above the ashes of her martyrs would again blossom as a rose.” When the sun of the twentieth century has made its way toward the western horizon, may its last fading rays fall upon the silken folds of the English Emblem, side by side with that of the Harp and Shamrock, floating over Ireland a progressive, enterprising, and commercial nation. May it see Home Rule uniting all Irishmen to one another and uniting Ireland to England by ties of mutual happiness and sympathy. imiiiiiiiHiiiiaiinniiiniiiiiuiiHiiniiutiiiiiiiiiiiruiiiuiiiiiniiiuiiiiniiiiuiiimiiiiiiiinMiinniiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiimiitiiiuiiniiiiiiitiiniiiiiiiiii SENIORS CLASS OFFICERS President.............................Walter T.

They chose Walter Ryan as president, Rosella Early as vice-president, and Edna Davidson as secretary and treasurer. The class is made up of many students who have attended the school for four years and of others who have entered from various high schools. While this has been true of nearly all previous Senior classes, the Seniors of 1913 stand out clearly from among them as the best equipped class ever organized from the Superior Normal School. This is so obviously true that no further proof need he given than a glimpse at its members. If. after viewing them, you arc still unconvinced, just review our school records for the past year—aye, even for four years past. If need be, just watch what we shall do in the coming years in our various fields of labor. Professor Merrill surprised his geography class by telling them that the people down south raise “cane.” Heard in history class: “Henry Adams was a shoemaker, and later became a minister.” Prof. Gillett: “He mended soles, then.” How would “Auld Lange Syne” sound in E-Minor?

This innovation has certainly been taken advantage of by the boys, the Junior Class boasting of a larger number of those rare creatures than any other class in the school. On January 10, 1913, the class met in the assembly room, and, after a spirited election, the above-named officers were elected to guide the destinies of these future great ones. Plans are now under way for the annual junior party, and th? committees in charge plan to make the affair the very best. The following committees have charge of the affair: Arrangements—M.

Sophomores! Oh yes. that is the class composed of twenty-one members of the school, seated in the front part of the assembly room, to set an example for all of the students. Our class consisted of a few young Indies, happy and cheerful, until, much to their sorrow, stepped into our class six young men of the school. Yes. I remember that morning in the latter part of March when we were so taken hack at the sight of them. We had been happy and gay. with not a sorrow nor care, but now the question arose: “What shall we do with them?” Well, this has now been solved, for each of them is now one of us. 'This is the best we can do for them. Our class organized with Laura Councilman as president: Minnie Hanson as vice president: and Iva Cartw right as secretary-treasurer. A few have left us. and a few others have joined: but there can never he another Sophomore class like the one of 1913. B. A. N. FRESHMAN CLASS. We are the class of 19|( . We are fresh, indeed; our very presence acts as the breath of spring in the summer heat. Being yet in our infancy, we could not be expected to accomplish a great deal socially. It was our mission to brighten the cares of all about us. which we are constantly doing. Confining our time to our studies, as we have, we found little time for our athletics. Wc have had several class meetings, at the first of which, under the supervision of .Mr. Heinbdt. we elected Arden Jackson president; Madge Van Bushirk. vice president; and Mattie Potter, secretary-treasurer. GI TCI IE GUM EE Edge 34 SUB-FRESHMAN CLASS.

Our president did not remain with us long, hut soon registered at the Superior High School, leaving our vice president to act as presiding officer. Wc arc all Americans, but a glance at the class register of names would show that wc arc descended from the best strains of many lands. We expect to give a cosmopolitan character to the school in future years, when our members will conduct the various enterprises of the student body and form a large element in the Oratorical Association, the Debating Society, the Young Women’s Christian Association, the Glee Club, and so forth. The athletics of the school will eventually depend on us for star performers. The basketball, base ball, and football teams will look to us for their members and trust us to uphold the honor of the school against all comers. Our hoys will be in the list of future Presidents, secretaries of state and of war; they will be doctors, lawyers, judges, admirals, generals, and scientists. V cs, and teachers—we forgot the teachers. Our girls will recruit the ranks of artists, musicians, writers, doctors, lawyers, and many other useful occupations, provided, always, that their talents arc not monopolized by the home circle. Wc arc nearly all northern Wisconsin products, and we, of course, do not recognize the possibility of failure; we hope to be at least creditable samples of the kind of people that northern Wisconsin turns out. Our class activities for the year have not been conspicuous outside of the recitation rooms; but, in these rooms, and in the solitude of our own rooms, wc have struggled gallantly with strange tongues and unknown quantities. Some of our members were prevented from attending classes, for a week or so, by a painful swelling under one or both ears, called the mumps. Yet, wc were not alone in our misery; for some of our instructors suffered from the same cause. We were able to store up so much knowledge in our heads that it overflowed and went to our jaws; and, the flesh covering our jaws being more flexible than our skill Is. a swelling was the result. The swelling shown by our instructors was doubtless due to the pride that they felt in their pupils. Although this solution may not be in accordance with physiology or psycholog}', as taught at this institution, it answers very Well for all practical purposes. THE ROAD TO WISDOM “Oh to be a Senior!” The little Freshman sighs. “A dignified, bright Senior. So wondrous, wondrous wise.” Not so the worthy Sophomore, He envies none their lore, For he thinks it impossible For a human to know more. The Junior really thinks That to read, to speak, to spell, He could instruct his teachers. And do it very well. 'The Senior, struggling hard. Plus minuses to earn.

It’s long past time for her to be here, and cold and hungry she will he. “Grandmother. I’ve been watching for half an hour, and she hasn’t turned the corner of the New Road yet. •Poor child! An evil day it was when her father died, leaving all so unsettled that she must go out to the Squire’s to work every day. Its a wonder. Patsy, the landiord'd l e letting us stay in the cottage with a month’s rent behind. The door of the thatched cottage opened, admitting a breath of the moist evening air. A girl stood on the threshold, her dark hair escaping from the faded red tarn o’shanter. and curling in tiny ringlets about her face. She looked tired, and her clothes clung to her slender body. The wistfulness and depth of sadness in her blue eyes caught and held the attention. I waited to sec the mistress to-night, granny, and good news I heard, too. Kathleen sank to the settle in the chimnev corner, stretching her slim hands out to the blaze. “The letter has come from Dublin. she continued, and I am to go as soon as possible to begin my work for the Squire’s brother. Mr. De Laney. And such nice work. too. the mistress says. Just being with the little girl, and doing mending. and making the lace that you taught me to do. “’Tis a beautiful chance you’ll be having. Mavourneen. but it's lonesome we’ll be here without you. Patsy and me! Oh, ochonc! If it were not for the landlord's taking everything, you wouldn’t have to be leaving us. Kathleen. But where can Patsy be? Walking quickly to the window to hide her tears, she continued: Out with his dogs. I suppose. Didn't he bring home another to-day. Kathleen? Sure it’s three he has now. bless him! The kind little heart of him would be taking in all the homeless dogs in Castle Comer. Oh. here he comes now. Come. Patsy!” Patsy took the news of Kathleen's going rebelliously. when it was told him after supper. Kathleen was his comforter and playmate. Without her. life seemed empty, and there was a strange tightness in his throat as he thought of the long winter evenings when he and his grandmother would be alone before the peat fire. But he had heard many discussions of ways and means, and he understood that they must have money to pay the rent or be turned out as the unfortunate O’Riellys had been. Slipping down on the rug where Patsy’s slender little form lay before the fire, Kathleen tried to comfort him with the stories that he loved, the same stories that their great grandmother had told to her children, stories of the fairies—-and of the little man in the red cloak, called the l.cprachaun. who knew where the bag of gold was hidden, and would tell any one who could catch him. And of how Darby, one’ of the old men of Castle Comer, had run after him early one morning, but. just as lie was about to catch him. the little red man had turned into a poppy. She told also of the Banshee, whose plaintive cry had been heard beneath the window the night of their grandfather's death. At last. Patsy’s head slipped lower and lower from her knee, and his dark lashes diooped on his pale cheeks. He was lulled to sleep by Kathleen's voice singing the old ballad his mother used to sing to him.— I’f'Xr J7 GIT CUE GUM EE “Hush thee, Acushla. Acushla Machrcc, Suo i. from the woodland down hv the sea, Faries will come to keep watch over thee. Hush thee, Acushla. Acushla Machrcc.’ The days passed quickly until the day came for Kathleen to leave. She waved a last goodbye from the stage which carried passengers between Castle Comer and Kilkenny. As long as she could, she gazed at the little group about the cottage, as if she would impress the scene upon her memory. Through her tears, she saw her grandmother, old and bent, and dear little Patsy smiling bravely. A slight cough diverted her attention to an old. shabbily dressed man seated in one corner of the stage, whom Kathleen recognized as old Mike Linnchan, the town fiddler. Mike was one of the village curiosities, and his fiddle was as great a curi- osity as himself. The witty remarks of the old man drew Kathleen's attention from her own sad thoughts during the ride to Kilkenny, where she took the train for Dublin. Here the noise and bustle were very confusing, and a sense of loneliness rushed over her. and a longing for her home and grandmother and Patsy filled her heart. Night was falling as Kathleen made her way to the address given in her letter; not such a night as she was accustomed to in the country, but one of smudgy darkness. which made her feel as though a coal scuttle hrd been turned upside down over the city. Hesitatingly, she rang the bell of the large brick house, and was met at the door by a kind-faced old butler, who took her to her new mistress. Mrs. !)c Laney. Kathleen’s feeling of loneliness vanished at Mrs. Dc Haney’s kind words of greeting. After the plca-ant chat that followed, Kathleen wrote a long letter home, telling them of her new duties, and of Ellen, her little pupil. Kathleen grew to love her new life; hut. nevertheless, her eyes took on a sadder look as the days passd: for sad news had come from home of the tyranny of the landlord and of the sickness of Patsy. She must do so something more than she was doing now. to help keep the low, thatched roof over the heads of her loved ones. Many hours of the night she lay and pondered over the matter. The evening was the happiest part of the day for Kathleen; for then she told Ellen the bed-time stories she used to tell to Patsy. She often imagined herself at home again before the blazing peat fire. Many were the stories told to Ellen of the different people of Castle Comer, and so well were they told that the little girl shrieked in laughter or wept in sympathy. One evening, when Kathleen was so engaged, Mr. Dc Laney and his wife were seated in an adjoining room. They were discussing the new play, of which Mr. Dc Laney was the author, and which was to be put on at the Dublin Abbey 1 heat re. How are the rehearsals progressing. Robert?’ asked Mrs. Dc Laney. “Poorly! Wc can not find one who can take the part of Norah. VVc have had ten rehearsals with a different Norah each time, but with no success. 1 he play is billed for the fifth; but, if wc do not find one who can take the part suitably, it will be a failure!’’ “Why not send for one of the English actresses?' And thereby break our resolution of having Irish plays produced only by Irish players? Never!” Attracted by some sound from the inner room, he stole noiselessly to the door, and there, unobserved, watched the scene within. Interest, surprise, and amazement were written on his face. Scon, he turned to his wife. GITCHE G I'M EE ! agr jS “I have found a Norah. he cried. “Kathleen is just the one to take the part. She is perfect! Come! That night, Kathleen went to her room holding tight the manuscript pages of the play. Her thoughts were all queer, wild hopes for the future. If she could hut succeed! How much she could do for her grandmother and Patsy. She must not fail! It was the night of the first production of the new play at the Abbey Theater. The theater was crowded to its utmost capacity. The boxes were filled. Dim rumors had been alloat concerning the triumph of an Irish country girl, and it seemed as if all Dublin had come to judge for itself. Ushers rushed here and there, and an air of expectancy seemed to pervade the theater. At the appointed time, the curtain went tip slowly—a sudden hush, and the play began. When Kathleen came upon the stage, she was at first slightly confused by the sea of faces; but. when she repeated the familiar lines, all fear vanished. For the setting was just an Irish village, and she felt as though she were at home once more in Castle Comer. The little thatched cottage might have been their own, at the head of the long glen. She did not need to feign the sorrow and fear: for had it not been with her all her life? She held every one spellbound, although, for her, her audience had ceased to exist. When her closing ballad came, in the last act, it seemed as if she were singing once more to Patsy, .as his curly head slipped lower and lower from her knee. She could scarcely believe that the roar of applause which accompanied the falling of the curtain was for her. Again and again, bewildered, she responded to the curtain call, and. coming off the stage for the last time, confronted Mr. De Laney leading a pale, curly-headed lad. “Patsy! she cried. Mary M.

Made endless “plot outlines. too; We have worked, we have shirked, in this or that. And longed for each scant reprieve: We have had our self-assurance knocked flat; Yet—somehow, we hate to leave. We have crammed, we have shammed, ’tis sad hut true, When examinations came; We’ve thought, at times, we'd never be through, We confess it to our shame. We have ached, we have quaked, all through the test Of practice teaching, you know; We have looked to the cad with a growing z.est: Hut—somehow, it’s hard to go. We have groaned, we have moaned, o’er Chaucer’s speech. And grappled with “x” and “y”; We have learned minutely just how to teach Such things, and when, where, and why. We have laughed, we have chaffed, with all the rest; Our work has been mixed with play; And the old folks say school days are the best, So—we hate to go away. Gertrude Kreinrr. Eagr 30 GITCIIE GUM EE PLAY The value of play has been recognized since the earliest times. As far back as Aristotle and Plato, its importance in the education of children was realized; hut it was Friedrich Frbbel, the founder of the kindergarten, who finally used play as a basis for all the child’s early education. For a time. Frdbel’s ideas of play were not entirely understood; but, as he prophesied at his death, the ideal of the kindergarten, “education through play.” is being worked out by American educators. Play is the way in which the child best expresses his own powers to himself and to us. By observing his plays, the teacher or parent may easily learn the child’s true characteristics. Play is to the child what work is to the man. lie plays out in his youth all of those things which he will need to do in his later life. Phis is called the prepracticc theory of play, which has been recognized and studied by noted educators and scientists, such as Fiske, (Irons. Dewey, Kirkpatrick, and many others. We must not think that play is opposed to work; for, rather, it is the best means of learning to do work. Through play, we learn to work with the proper spirit, which is that of joy and earnestness, not that of drudgery. Play develops the child’s physical being, through the exercise that it gives him; his imagination and sympathetic qualities, through the mental enlarging it gives him; and. lastly, it trains his social powers and abilities. 'Phis social value of play is greatly emphasized by modern teachers, because they realize that it shows the child, that, although he is dependent on others, he must, at the same time. Ik useful to them and learn to cooperate with them. “Through it he is educated for good citizenship in the world of work.” Although play is used to-day principally in the kindergarten, educators are beginning to recognize its great value in all other departments of education, and to realize the truth in Frdhel’s statement that “the plays of childhood are the germinal leaves of all later life.” In this fantasy, the author combines fairy tales, dreams, and allegories into a rarely beautiful structure that embodies her ripest wisdom and her mellowest and most complete philosophy of life. Kach actor and actress is an artist in his or her own line in portraying this play. None of them needs any introduction, for they all have appeared as stars in other casts.—Dramatic Reflection.

R. 1 P«K 45 GIT Cl IE GUM EE WHY WE TEACH GAMES A successful pedagogue and educator must have an intimate knowledge of the demands of the different ages of life and of the means which the subject of instruction itself offers. Closely linked with this, is the arrangement and supervision by the teacher of games, which, in opposition to special gymnastic exercises, show the freest development of gymnastic act on the playground and in the gymnasium; although gymnastic instruction, when skillfully conducted, borders on play, and play, again, when paired with exertion and judgment, becomes really a gymnastic exercise. Wherever it is possible, a part of every lesson in gymnastics should be devoted to play. The best time for it is toward the close of the lesson. The games of youth naturally follow gymnastic instruction, and the teachers of gymnastics are the natural conductors of the same. When at play, the whole character and disposition of the youth manifests itself, and reveals fully its nature in the relation which the single person maintains with his comrades, and the maimer in which he follows the rules and laws of the game. For the instructor, games are. therefore, the truest mirror of the character of his pupils, and are of vital importance to teacher and pupil, to school life and life outside school. 'Flu best educators of all times have said this over and over again, and vet the truth cannot be repeated too often, that the institution that aims in general to further and regulate the discipline and labor of youth, must necessarily look after and foster the games of youth, because through these the whole life object of youth is enlarged and cheered for the full and thorough labor of the school. How entirely different does a school look to a pupil, where work and play, earnestness and pleasure. arc offered him. where his teachers are his leaders and friends at the same time, and where he has work-room nr.d play-room for the object and occupation of his age. Such school life wins the heart of youth: here the pupil feels at home and here the societies of comrades are formed, that continue to exist long after school-life, and are at all times in public life staunch defenders of youthful mind, manners, and morals, the true friends of the better spirit of youth’s education. Our pupils should be led to play every day. as well as to work; and, as I have remarked before, it is advisable, to combine this play with instruction in gymnastics, that the teacher shall allow them some time to play. Kxperience teaches that the child must lirst learn how to play, and that plat ing requires exercise anti preparation, expansion and limitation. just like any other occupation of children. How many children are there not. whose home life turns the natural inclination to play into the wrong channel, or whose whole disposition ami build oppose this youthful inclination. Here, then, must the teacher’s efficiency show itself. ith some, he must keep the zeal for playing in check: with others, he must awaken the love for play. I he school's field of labor extends beyond the limits of the school-room and play-ground. Children want to be taken out into the open air. they want to enjoy themselves in the forest and meadows, on hills anti in dale; (� ods green garden and blue sk cannot be replaced to them by home, school, anti street life. Youth needs excursions into fields and forests: for our heart swells with pleasure when out in nature’s own garden. Therefore, the schools should arrange, from time to time, larger and smaller GITC IE GVMEE Page 46 excursions; the pupils will thus become acquainted with the surrounding country, the faculty of finding their way is developed within them, and opportunity is offered the teacher to advance the pupils’ education in many directions, to satisfy their thirst for knowledge in many respects, and to test their love of order. These school excursions are veritable feasts for both pupil and teacher. They develop the fresh spirit of gymnastic life, which, in its turn, adds to the pleasure of these excursions In exertions and feats of all kinds, by games and songs. As the school arranges festivals where mental work, such as essays, orations, etc., on the part of the pupil form the greatest part of the entertainment, so should it also arrange festivals for the physical amusement of the pupils. The pupils want their holidays and their school picnics—festivals at which they unfold their full, child like spirit, festivals which they regard in the fullest meaning of the word as thbir festivals.

A constitution was drawn up in which one clause stated that this organization would he called Die Deutsche (iesellschaft. The constitution further provided that the Gcsellschaft should meet every two weeks, on Wednesday evenings, from 7:30 until 9:00 o’clock. One of the special favors enjoyed by the members of the club is that the meetings are held at Miss Schlcgcl’s home, where die Deutschcn gather about a comfortable Kanin-feuer (fireplace). The purpose of the Gcsellschaft is to offer special yet pleasant opportunities for each German student to speak the German language freely and in a conversational manner. It is the hope and desire of the Gcsellschaft of 1912 ami 1913 that this school organization will continue, although many of its members become alumni in 1913. The present members can assure the future members that they will ever appreciate the many benefits derived from this (iesellschaft under the careful aid and guidance of Miss Schlegel, of whom the charter members can boast as being a most able s| onscr of the Deutsche Gcsellschaft.

Miss Lucy Helen Pearson came to Superior and organized a Young Women’s Christian Association, with Pearl Potter, president; Vera Sprague, vice president; Alice Hassard, secretary; and Anna Miller, treasurer. In a very short time, the Association had a long list of members, eager and anxious to start their work. These energetic young girls have worked untiringly, and have made the Y. W. C. A. a success. Every Tuesday afternoon, without a single exception, these girls have held their meetings, under conditions not always favorable. Then, too, there were those delightful Friday afternoons, when, after a day’s hard work, the girls were refreshed by a cup of tea or hot chocolate or a peanut hunt. When the new school year commenced, the girls renewed their effort to increase the membership list. Very soon, they had a large class ready for initiation. Then, one eventful evening, in the gymnasium of the Normal School, the beautiful, impressive services that made the new girls members of the Association were held. The Y. W. C. A. is not only concerned with its own welfare, but also the welfare of others. Early in the fall, when the new girls, lonesome for home, arrived, the Y. W. C. A. members met them at the station, sent them flowers, and visited them, so they would forget their loneliness. Soon after, they held a reception in the gymnasium for the purpose of bringing all the students into a closer relationship with one another. Then came the desire to broaden their field of work. They had several candy sales for the purpose of raising money. Of this money, ten dollars was donated to the associated charities and another ten dollars was given for the building.of the proposed Young Men’s Christian Association. Another external phase of work undertaken by this organization was the giving of programs oh Friday evenings at the Mission. The men of the Mission were so well pleased with the programs given by the Y. W. C. A. girls, and the girls felt so well repaid for their efforts bv the pleasure they afforded, that they now give a program every second Friday at the Mission. Although the members have worked unceasingly, there are others who have helped to make the Association a success. President McCaskill gave a room on the third floor. Other members of the faculty have already donated various articles for the furnishing of the room. 'Flic girls arc now busy making this new meeting place as attractive as possible. Then, too, there is Miss Milam, who is ever ready with a helping hand and most valuable suggestions. Therefore, with the ceaseless efforts of the members, whose desire is to do good work, and the co-operation of the various members of the faculty, the Y. VV. C. A. of the Superior Normal School has before it a rosy and successful future. Mr. Whealdon: “Mr. Olson, can you tell what steam is?” Mr. Olson: “Sure; it’s water gone crazy with the heat.” Gladys 11.

A meeting was called of all those who belonged last year, and, later, new voices were added, until at present the number is twenty-seven. After considering many names, we decided that the Girls’ Glee Club was as good as any. A committee was appointed to draw up by-laws which, of course, were never to be broken. Wednesday, at four, was the time chosen for practice. The following officers were elected: Miss Curtis, faculty adviser; Lucilc Rinehart, president; Alice Hassard, vice president; Irene Ward, secretary-treasurer; Bertha Ryan, accompanist. We made our debut at the oratorical contest, February 6, when we sang, “Softly Now the Shadows Fall,” and a selection from “II Trovatorc.” The next time we appeared was at assembly period. We were asked again, and sang for the declamatory contest. This time, the “Dixie Kid” won great applause. At present, we are busy preparing a program for assembly period and some selections for commencement. Among the members are, “Spinning Chorus” from the “Flying Dutchman, Carmcna.” “Spring Song,” “'Flic Shoogy Shoo,” “F.bb and Flow,” and “Within a Little Wood.” Those who have helped make the Glee Club a success are: First soprano— Geraldine Brewsaugh, Ellen Thorsell, Hazel Cameron, Mary Walsh, Mattie Potter, Beatrice Gillis, Marie Hamer; second soprano—Gunda Borgen, Alice Hassard, Ernestine Scylcr, Mabel Midland, Lucilc Rinehart, Mary Loney, Blanche Douglas; first alto—May Hardy, Dora Gilstad, Mary Lederman, Florence Thomas, Elizabeth Lightbody, Catherine Dollivcr; second alto—Charlotte Hammer, Hannah Hovey, Irene Ward, Mary Close, Helen Ryan, Mildred Nygaard. hW V GIRLS GLEE CLUB GITCHE GUM EE Er.gr 54 LYCEUM DEBATING CLUB Shortly after the beginning of the second ten, last fall, there went forth to such of the so-called stronger sex as were interested a call to meet in Miss MacQuilkin’s room for the purpose of organizing a debating club. The appointed hour brought forth the astonishing number of four. These gentlemen, however, had in them the stuff of which pioneers arc made, and, encouraged by Miss MacQuilkin and Professor Hembdt and inspired by the eloquence of Professor Goddard, they proceeded to the organization of what is now known as the Lyceum Debating Club. In the work of drawing up the constitution, they wish to acknowledge here the friendly and valuable aid received from Professor Goddard. The next meeting, at which the work of organization was completed, brought the membership up to twelve; and. with these gentlemen as charter members, the active career of the society began. At the present time, there arc sixteen active members, and two members have left school. The purpose of the club, as expressed in its constitution and as expressed by the spirit of its members, is the “improvement of its members along the lines of debating, public speaking, and general literary work.” Debates have been held on a number of subjects of present-day interest and importance, and, at several meetings, various members have given short talks on subjects of their own choosing. The club was fortunate in placing Miss Milam’s name upon its program for one meeting, and received a very entertaining address on “College Life and College Work.” Prof. Gillctt was also due for a speech one evening, but failed to show up. It is understood that he had to mind the baby. Phis need not have stopped him; for members of the Club could easily have handled this slight task, had he brought the baby along. Another meeting was somewhat broken up by certain of the members preferring a dormitory society function to the intellectual development of their society. This did not discourage the remaining members; for they realized that the “eternal feminine” is a disturbing element in all the activities of man. and to be reckoned with even in a debating club.

What is this?” asked a pedestrian, “a suffragette meeting?” No, it is a hiking club going to the flour mills. After leaving the car, we walked about six blocks to the Daisy mill. We entered through the oflice, and stepped into the elevator. “Any admission charged here?” queried Miss McComb. No; just tipped the elevator man.” In passing to the fifth floor, we got a full view of all the machinery. Our curiosity getting the better of us, and in the attempt to solve the complicated mechanism, there was a continual running to and fro. and an endless flow of questions. In this trip, as well as in all others, we found the employees very willing and patient. As we watched the various processes, dodged machinery anti belts, we could not help but marvel at the cleanliness in contrast with the conditions found at the briquet plant. After two hours of inspection, during which time we became well informed in the process of flour making, we departed with an excellent appetite, at the same time wishing it were spring, when we could carry our lunches and enjoy them on the excursion. We enjoyed our trips to the coal docks, the briquet plants, wheat commissions, and ore docks, in a similar manner. Due to Professor Merrill’s supervision and explanation, we have derived great benefit from our trips. Superior Outing Club has proved itself to be the only successful organization of its kind in the state. ASSEMBLY SPEECHES During the past year, we have had some well-known speakers at assembly period. Besides the faculty and other local speakers, we have heard some from out of town. Those from the city were: Rev. I). B. Cheney, of the Baptist church; Rev. II. F. Burns, of the Congregational church; Rev. W. E. Callahan, of the Methodist church; Rev. L. K. Grimes, of the Hammond Avenue Presbyterian church; Mr. Carl Beck, of the Civic Center League; Mr. H. F. Burt, of the Lake Superior Mission; Miss Roberts, of the Public Library; and Mrs. H. A. Johnson, who, speaking for woman suffrage, introduced Mrs. Robert M. La Eollettc. Several musical programmes were given in which the students played a prominent part. One of these was on St. Patrick’s Day, when the whole school joined in to celebrate with the Irish.

John?” And John Warner replied, just as he had -hundreds of times before, I don't know, mother. We must wait and see.” The two were seated close to the warm fireplace in the living room. The gray eyes of the young man were lighted up with interest as he read aloud to the little mother from the evening paper. She was seated in a small rocker, knitting away energetically; but her small gray head bobbed up quickly, now and then, at some item of especial interest. The two were enjoying an evening such as they had often spent together since John Warner’s return from the medical college. The diploma which be had brought home so proudly was now resting, with other precious mementoes, in the old family chest, and on the front door was a modest plate bearing the words, Doctor J. C. Warner 1 0 Outside, the wintry air was crisp and keen. The crunching of the snow could be heard plainly as the passers-by hurried along in the cold; but inside was warmth. The window-scat, the davenport with its numerous pillows, the large comfortable lounging chairs, the shaded student lamp, all added to the cheerfulness of the room. Pine logs crackled in the grate, and the fantastic shapes on the walls danced merrily to the tunc of their snapping flames. The young man turned the page, began reading, but checked himself. “What is it, John? The mother looked up inquiringly. Just another case of desertion. Very sad.” The gray head drooped suddenly; tears filled the tired blue eyes. John watched the pathetic figure, bit bis lip. and turned toward the fire. The logs bla .ed fitfully, sputtered, and were still. The cat jumped up from its cozy bed by the fire, and, going up to its mistress, pawed her black dress. Failing to arouse the drooping figure, it began to purr loudly. Mrs. Warner lifted her head and watched her son, as he gazed ahead with set jaws and eyes burning with determination. It was then that she had put the old question to him. His answer, brief as it always was, seemed to comfort her in a measure; for she picked up the stocking and resumed her knitting. Hut the fingers soon stopped their quick movement, and once more she became lost in thought. At this moment, there was a stumbling on the veranda, and a plaintive cry was heard, as if from some one in distress. Is that Tabby, or is it a child crying? No, Tabby’s here.” John spoke, and they both listened. Why, John, it’s a child! It’s crying.” 'Flic outer door, at this moment, opened, and some one stumbled into the hall. Before either could reach the room door, it opened, and a little figure burst into the room. Oh, come to our house! My daddy’s awful sick. Marm says he’s goin’ to die. Please, hurry cn come quick!” A tiny bov,' with a poor, misshapen back and wan face, raised his large, gray eyes, brimming with tears, to the young doctor. Mrs. Warner caught the little fellow up in her arms and tried to comfort him. At length, when his wild crying bad P«xt 59 GIT CUE GUM EE stopped and only short sobs crme now and then, he lay quivering in her arms like a small, maimed bird. “John, you trust look up the ease at once. (let your wraps.” Then to the child, “You’ll stay with n c, dearie, won’t you? Where do you live?” “In that little shanty ’cross from Braman’s warehouse, over the bridge.” The doctor was ready in a minute, and, with a parting word of advice, hurried out, medicine case in hand, into the cold. Mrs. Warner bustled about with motherly concern. “Poor child, it’s a wonder you didn’t freeze. Where arc your mittens? Didn’t you wear them? Or haven’t you any?” “No, marm, I never go out. I'm a little cripple boy what wears crutches. When I come outside the house, my crutches slipped on the ice en my feet flew from under one, en—en I had to go on without ’em. I’m tired, I am. I want to go to sleep. I------.” Me finished his incoherent speech, and fell asleep with his head cud- dled in her arms. Mrs. Warner laid the boy in John’s large chair while she made a bed for him on the davenport, which she drew dose to the fire. Soon, the fire, which, in the excitement, had remained untouched, was blazing away, as if to make return for its former neglect. When she had succeeded in making a comfortable bed. she undressed the little fellow. Her mother heart was greatly touched bv the misfortune of the child. Again and again, she wept over the poor, misshapen body. When she had put him into one of John’s old night-dresses, which he had worn when a little fellow, she carried him gently to the bed, and tucked him in. The little white night-dress covered all deformity now, but the small, pinched face, with the hollow eyes, showed plainly the marks of suffering and neglect. The woman who watched it read the plea, Help us who have been denied the right of a pure heritage.” “Poor little Iamb! How he sleeps. I wonder if he’s hungry. Maybe he’s almost starving: but I can’t wake him, for lie’s so tired. How much lie looks like Phil. O Phil! Where are you? Philip! Come back!” The little sleeper slept on, while the woman drifted back into the past. A picture of her girlhood days came up, bright, happy, and all too short. Then, Philip came into her life. Others had been distrustful of his wild, fast ways; but she had believed in him. 'The first few years of their married life had been happy, except for a few disappointing changes in Philip. Two of their children, Meg and Marian, had lived only a few years. John alone had been left to them. In the meantime, her life had become more difficult. At last, came the day when she had looked in vain for Philip’s return. Fifteen long years of waiting had passed—a hard struggle for both herself and John. John had been only a boy of fifteen then. They had both struggled along, until now, at last, they had a home of their own, and need have no fear for the immediate future, at least. But still she was not content. Where was Philip? Was he really dead? Many were the theories she invented. Yet. through all the years, not one word of reproach did she utter. Phil might have had his faults, but he would never, voluntarily, have left her. No, never! Thus, she dreamed on, till at last sleep came. 'I he dutiful fire blazed on, casting its light on the faces of the two sleepers. GIT Cl IE GUME Page 60 As John Warner left his home, he hurried toward the bridge. The night was a starry one, and he picked his way with little difficulty through the narrow streets. As he passed over the bridge, he saw disjointed groups here and there, who had been on a carousal. Once, he stumbled over a miserable being, less buoyant than his mates, who had dropped into an unconcerned heap. The young doctor shook him and set him on his feet. The fellow seemed at a loss as to his exact location, but was soon piloted away by a more knowing companion. Hilarious sailors were exhorting unseen others to “heave ho!” Now and then, a child, scantily clothed, could be seen scurrying along, tin pail in hand, to the back door of some saloon. At the end of the bridge, a woman was sobbing hoarsely, while a man stood by, conversing earnestly. “It’s no use, Jim. It’s all up now,” she sobbed. As John Warner passed them, the woman raised her head to adjust the enormous hat with its abundance of plumes, and he noticed the bright checks and penciled lashes. The warehouse was now in sight, and the tumbledown houses and shanties were in evidence. In some, darkness reigned. Others showed a faint light, and some seemed to quiver with the riot and coarse hilarity going on inside. In a few moments, Warner arrived at the door of the shack he had in mind. He knocked, but no response came. At a repetition, came a faint invitation to enter. A foul, musty odor greeted him. The smoking kerosene lamp gave forth such a faint light that the interior of the one room stood out only in dim outline. The doctor stumbled over a bundle of rags. A sleepy moan came forth from it; and, when he stooped down, lie saw a young child asleep wrapped in an old shawl. The face bore the same starved expression as that of the little fellow who was now sleeping at his home. The doctor stood up, only to bump his head into a line of damp clothes, drying above the stove. A large, gaunt woman stepped from the lighted corner of the room. “Thank God! you’ve come. He’s goin fast, I reckon.” She wiped her eyes with the greasy, checked apron. “He’s in bed there,” and the doctor walked to the cot in the corner. The woman hovered near, her eyes wearing a strained, haunted expression. “He’s jest over a tumble spell; I thought he’d kill me, fur sure. The drink, you know,” she told him in a hoarse whisper as she pushed back the ashy, straggling hair from her forehead. The form on the bed lay in a stupor. He seemed to rouse himself, however; for, as the doctor bent over the medicine ease, the man raised himself on his clhow and surveyed him intently. He gave a quick start, and sank hack on the pillow. The doctor bent over him. “Johnnie, Johnnie, is it you? I heard that you were a doctor; but I didn’t think you’d ever come to see me. Yes, Johnnie boy, daddy has an awful headache. Give him some medicine. That’s the boy. You'll be our doctor, some day. There now, go and visit some other sick folks. Come anti see how daddy is getting along to-morrow--------” And so the father talked to his little son, the one who prescribed for “daddy and other sick folks.” 'I here was no time for speculation now. The man was going fast. The gray eyes burned fiercely, and the hands clinched the doctor’s in a hard grip. After a few moments, he became quiet. “Take care of her, John,” and then the end came. John Warner walked out into the street again, filled with mingled emotions of loathing, resentment, and pity for the man who had wrought such havoc in his life. Page 61 GIT CHE GUM EE He seemed to have grown years older bv the short but terrible experience he had just undergone. Groping blindly along, he found his way through the street, and over the bridge to his home. Just as the town clock struck twelve, he opened the door quietly, and came into the living room where he saw the two sleepers. The mother started up nervously. “O John! I had a terrible dream. Phil, your father—O John! do you think he is—” John Warner interrupted her quietly. “Mother, I know.” E. T. E. THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD 1. Miss Schlcgcl’s new shoes. 2.

OUR NEW ADDITION Work on the splendid new wing, which now adjoins our school on the north end, was begun in September, 1911, after the legislature had appropriated $70,000 for its erection. Upon its completion in November, 1912, it was immediately occupied ; for it answered the urgent needs of a fast increasing student body. Upon the basement floor, arc located appropriate bath and locker facilities in connection with the gymasium. Here also arc wash-rooms for the girls. Grade school rooms arc on the first ground floor, while the whole second floor is devoted to the text-book and reference library. The top floor is consigned to recitation rooms. The new reference library is not yet in use. A sum of $6,800 has been assigned for its equipment, ami we now await the arrrival of artists from the Nideccan and Wal-bridge Co., of Milwaukee, who will have charge of the interior decorating. This library, which is large, spacious, and well lighted, will be used as a study-room. 'l'he most modern heating and ventilating systems have been installed. The whole addition has been planned with a view to combining utility and beauty, and, since its completion, our Normal is indeed an imposing edifice. Page 62 GIT CHE GUMEE ALUMNI OFFICERS.

LETTER FROM MISS LENROOT The following is a letter written to the Gitchb Gumee by Katherine Lenroot: Dear Normal Students, past and present: For the past two months, 1 have been working in the office of the Industrial Commission, here at Madison. By the time the GlTCIlE is out, I shall probably be back in Superior; for I have promised to spend the summer at home. The work at the Industrial Commission is most interesting and inspiring. The spirit there is that of service to all the people of the state. Their aim is to see that every employee is provided with a place of employment that is reasonably safe, healthful and sanitary; to see that no children below the legal age are employed for more than ten hours a day. or fifty-five a week. They desire to be fair, reasonable, and just to all parties concerned. My part in all this is a very humble one. My work has been largely statistical, recording data concerning free employment offices and factory inspections, tabulating industrial accidents due to certain causes, etc. Occasionally, I do some research work in the library. I thoroughly enjoy it. and find that to be at work is one of the most satisfying things in the world. Katherine Lenroot. GIT CUE GUM EE Page 63 A DECLARATION FROM ASHLAND When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one city to proclaim its virtues ard excellence to another, and that such city can and will assume among the powers of the state the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle it, a proper respect to the readers of the GiTCHE requires that it should declare the cause which impels it to this declaration. We hold these truths to he self-evident: that Ashland is a power, and a mighty power, among the Lake Superior cities; truly a fair metropolis, as one of S. N. S.’s professors recently called it; Ashland has a remarkable harbor; it can boast of three large ore docks, which vie with even those of Superior; the annual output of these docks is three million five hundred thousand tons. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that this city ranks first among the harbors of the Great Lakes for safety and accessibility, and ranks sixth out of one hundred and thirty coal receiving ports on the Great Lakes (with no apologies to Professor Merrill). To prove that Ashland is a fair metropolis and a mighty power, let facts be submitted to a candid world : It has a population of twelve thousand people. 'Twenty-four passenger trains enter and leave the city daily. Ashland is the logical market and distributing point for the finest dairying and fruit-raising country in the United States. Fifty towns and villages lie within a radius of seventy-five miles, and the railroad service to and from all points is excellent. Shade trees line the streets of the residence portions of the city, streets arc asphalt or macadam, and many of them are beautifully boulcvarded. Its splendid schools, elegant churches, and many beautiful residences make Ashland an ideal city.

You’ll find every one of us a winner. In a little while, you’ll think it’s heaven; For studying starts at half-past seven. Then off we start, each for her room, To meet her fate and decide her doom. But it doesn’t seem long till a quarter of ten; For, then, we’re free to talk again; And forth we go, both one and all. And every one is out in the hall. A question like this comes to your car: “Has some one her history, did I hear?” Or, “Who takes kindergarten theory?’’ “Heavens! Isn’t studying dreary? At a quarter past, comes a farewell shout; For then it’s time for lights to go out. But if it’s on Friday or Saturday nights, We stay up anyhow, in spite of lights. For it takes the girls the transom to handle; That, we darken and light a candle. And after that, to grant our wishes. We all go for the chafing-dishes. Some make coffee, and some make fudge; The rest of them—we’ll let you judge; And round we scatter, on floor and chair. We’re glad to sit most anywhere. “Well, say, some one stir that fudge, please, there, Or else it will be rather rare.” You’ll always hear exclamations like these; But, of course, we never mean to tease. And, when we’ve made the longed-for candy. We cut it with most anything handy, Be it a knife or be it a file— Come right here, and you’ll be in style. And, when we’ve eaten our sugared mite, We bid one and all a fond Goodnight.” B. R. GITCHE GUM EE S,e fviuUin SeMege .) Page d7 GITCHE GUM HE SCHEDULE 48 S. N. S ..Oct. 5.. 61 S. N.

His captaincy not only enabled him to mould his men into a formidable team against his opponents, but also to pilot his team through one of the toughest schedules yet known-in Normal athletics. As a tackle, he along with his help-mate, left tackle, made the opposing men lay down in their tracks when their 375 pounds of beef” ploughed their enemies’ line. iwax uvaiood Page 6p GITCHE GUM EE JOHN CONNELL. “Caroline Jawn.” Captain Elect.

He made some of the prettiest forward passes on local and out-of-town gridirons that have yet been seen. And the fact that he is to return next season stands out as a beacon light to all Normal football fans.” ERNEST WELKE Center. 8 ft. 5 in. 200 pounds. Ernest was the captain of the 1911 team, and returned also for the past season. He was the right man for his position. As snapper-bach, he sure was some there. He was always finding the hole ahead of him. and never failing to fill up that hole with his 200 lbs. He surely was a line plunger, and he seemed to be naturally gifted with that art. He was a powerful man, a steady, clean, solid player. He has played on the team for the past three seasons, and was one of our strongest players. We greatly mourn the fact that he is not to he with us the coming season. CARL H. DALEY Pansy,” Cure.” Percy. Mike.' Left Tackle. 200 pounds. Pansy” was one the veterans of the last four seasons’ teams. As a tackle, he was a dangerous man at all times to the enemy. As for breaking up the defense work of the opposing team, Mike was always in the lime-light. He would plow down those in front of him at will, making openings where no other man could make them. That he fought gamely, win or lose, was demonstrated in every game; and, with his pet expression, We’ll get them this time, he would add fight and vigor to his team mates. Normal this year loses in Daley one of the best tackles she has ever had. l ie has made a record for himself by his dean, healthy standard of sportsmanship. We all shall miss you. Mike, when you leave us. GI TCI IE CUM EE Tage 7” WILLIAM SUSENS. “Dutch “Beany Right End. 187 lbs. “Willie,” better known as “Billums,” was one of the “vets” of the past three seasons’ squads. Few men, in fact, have worked so quietly and yet so effectively as did Dutch last fall. He could always he depended on to take care of his man on defense, and was sure to open a hole for his hack field when five yards were needed. In football, as in “fussing,” he was strong, thorough, and reliable. The 1913 team loses another hero of the gridiron, as “Dutch” prefers pedagogy to athletics. If you do not think so, ask him. PETER MeGOWAN. “Inga haar la vitch. Left half hack. 140 lbs. Of all the plucky and gritty players ever turned out on the Normal gridiron, Pete heads the list. Only weighing 140 pounds, the lightest man on the team, Pete was at all times, in the eyes of the opponents, their most deadly yard-getter. Whenever our plucky quarterback saw his last chance to make downs in a critical moment, .McGowan’s signal was snapped, and the yards were made. Considering all the dope in football, Pete played the hardest game of the season, not only heaping praise and honor on himself but on his fellow-players, as well. Here’s luck to you, Pete, and here’s hoping you will be with us next year. GERALD DOONAN. “Pood.” Full Back. 175 lbs. “Pood” came to us as an athlete from the high school. We were indeed glad to welcome him to wear the “orange and black,” as his speed was unusual, and his strength made him equally effective through the line and end, and at no time was he so dangerous as when in a tight place. Brilliant end runs throughout the entire season were only made possible by the excellent interference which he contributed. As for making yards, “Pood,” with the “pig-skin” under his arm, would have made a good “Ole” in a Siwash college story; as he evaded tackles, walked over the ends, guards, other players, and would not stop until he had been tackled, long after his yards had been made. Next year, starting in the position where he belongs, he promises to be one of the best backs in this section of the country. Page 71 GITCHE GUM EE ALTON WHITNEY. “Eli,” Homer,” “Jesse.” Right Half Back. 175 lbs. Eli was another revelation from the high-school ranks. 1 rough Coach Keegan’s scrutinizing eye, Whitney was picked out from the early season’s material, and was developed into one of the pluckiest half hacks that have yet played on the Normal s squad. I his was Eli’s first season in the game, and his future in athletics surely docs look promising. Alton has, through his connection with athletics, become one of the favorites among his fellow schoolmates, and, through athletics, has formed friendships that can never be forgotten. Eli was an early, fearless player, in the game from start to finish. Alton will surely make a valuable asset for next season’s squad. MORGAN ROBERTS. “Mugs. Right Guard. 180 lbs. 'Ehis was “Mug’s” first season in Normal athletics. Big. strong, willing, and always smiling, he constantly cleaned up the territory in front of him, and made opposing line men fear that smile more than any other man’s frown. Mugs,” while surely in the lime-light, always took care of the right guard’s position and did his best for the betterment of the team. Mugs will return for next season. JAMES MUNGAVIN. “Jock.” Left End. 160 ll s. “Jock” was that kind of player who adds a whole lot to his own team and detracts a great deal from the opponents’ team. At left end, he was a formidable player, and, because of his interference, he made possible many excellent end runs. His tackling work was unusually good, jock, however, did not play all the season, as he broke his collar bone in the game with the high school. Jock returns next season, and undoubtedly will make a new record for himself. GIT CHE GUM EE l agc 72 RAYMOND WEHRLE. “Count,” “Twitch.” Left Guard. 180 lbs. “Count,” the other member of the silent pair who played the guard positions, was also playing his first season of football for the Normal. Big, strong, willing, and always smiling, lie constantly cleaned up the territory in front of him. He played the game every minute, and let others do the talking. EARL COWIE. “Souse,” “Cute.” Left End. 141 lbs. Earl, being of the “feather-weight” class, made a plucky little end. His playing has always been of the A-1 quality, and lie is fast on his feet. He will make an cad of the championship quality for next season’s term. Left Guard. 185 lbs. Otto is a strong, aggressive player, and docs all that his position requires, that of playing without the spectacular features or cheers from the side lines. He uses his height and weight in breaking up plays, by terrific lunges over his opponents. It takes a strong opposing guard and a quick quarter to get off all plays when Reitz is in the game. He is a quiet, gentlemanly, and consistent player, who will make a strong link in the 1913 team. OTTO REITZ.

BASKETBALL Until March 14, the official figures showed the percentage of the team to be 1,000; but, in order to decide which team should play Milwaukee, in the final championship game of the season, the team had to play LaCrossc and Stevens Point on out-of-town floors. After a battle royal in both games, our team went down to defeat in both games. This lowered our percentage to 667, and advanced that of LaCrossc and Stevens Point to 667. As the championship game was to be played the following afternoon, we decided to let LaCrossc and Stevens Point plav off the tic. Stevens Point defeated LaCrossc by three points, and Milwaukee defeated Stevens Point by a score of 43 to 30, thus proclaiming Milwaukee the state champions. Playing the hardest schedule in the history of the Normal, and winning 11 out of 14 games played, is a feat of which any school might be proud. Superior Normal is proud of her basketball team, and well she may be, for at its belt hang the scalps of such teams as the All Stars, the Alumni, LaCrosse, Stevens Point, and others of similar calibre. Much credit should be given Coach Keogan; for it was he, who, with but one regular first-team man—Daley—left from 1912, developed from his new material a team the counterpart of which our Normal has yet to see.

All hope that neither of the former experiences of going aground or of nearly drowning will be repeated. Have you ever thought, as you walked through the halls, Through the dingy, dim class-rooms of Normal, Of the ones who have passed, as you’re passing now, Who have sung the same songs, Who have made the same vows, Who, in spirit, ever surround you? They arc peopled by ghosts, arc these dingy old halls, By the shades of those pupils, departed. Who once were as true to the Normal as you. Every mark in the hall, Every trace on the wall, Speaks of those unseen classmates around you. Out in the world, they arc fighting today, In the hamlet and the din of the city; With hearts that arc right, they arc winning the fight. For the Normal and you, For your good name, and true, They arc striving and struggling ever. But their hearts oft turn back to those dusky, dim halls; Their spirits will haunt them forever, As yours will some day, when you arc away. When school days have passed, While life’s battle lasts. We’ll be true to the spirit of Normal. E. W. ’12. I ige Hi Gil'CUE GUM EE ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION The Oratorical Association of the Superior Normal School reorganized in November, 1912. About forty students assembled in the reading-room at the first meeting. and chose Croft Toolty as president. Edna Davidson was chosen vice president, and Rosella Early as secretary and treasurer. Last year, there were but three members enrolled in this association—a president, vice president, and a secretary. The large number at the present time indicates that a decided interest is taken by the students in oratory. A constitution was drawn up and ratified at the last meeting of this term. Officers will be elected for the coming school year, in an endeavor to make this association a permanent institution, so far as possible. Superior was entitled to the vice presidency of the State Oratorical Association of this year, and Croft Toohy was elected to that office. He and Martha Wood acted as Superior delegates to the meeting of the State Association, held at Stevens Point, March 28. 1913. ANNUAL DECLAMATORY CONTEST 'I'lie annual school declamatory contest was held on the evening of March 12th, and was participated in by both young men and women, who were judged separately. Miss Emelin Olsen and Miss Esther Minor tied for first place in the girls’ division. Ashton K. Smith was awarded first place in the boys’ section. There were seven participants. three boys and four girls. They were picked from the twenty contestants who took part in the preliminary meeting, held earlier in the year. According to those who witnessed the contest, it was one of the best of its kind ever held at the school. This seems to be proven by the fact that the judges could not decide between two of the girls, and had difficulty in picking a winner among the hoys. In addition to the program of speeches, several entertaining musical numbers were rendered. The girls’ part of the program came first. The declamations by Miss Emclia Olsen and Miss Esther Minor were so entirely different, each being so well rendered, as to make it impossible to award a first. Miss Olsen gave a selection from “The House of Rimmon,” a very dramatic offering of Henry Van Dyke’s. It was wonderfully well handled, and brought a great deal of applause from the audience. Miss Minor’s selection was on “A Quarrel in Real Estate.” The story, a little slum girl whose father and uncle had a “mad-on” each other, and whose father had kicked her uncle “all the way down the stairs, yelling: ‘Go to hella! go to hclla!’ ” was realistically portrayed by Miss Minor, and showed her to be a true artist. The other two young ladies on the program, Miss Evanda Becker, who gave Ulysses,” and Miss Ernestine Scylcr. who gave the Traitor’s Deathbed.” both handled themselves in an admirable manner and won favor. The work of all three contestants in the boys' section of the contest is worthy of note. Ashton K. Smith, winner of first place, with “Abraham Lincoln,” by the great minister, Phillips Brooks; William C. Jones, with Daniel O’Connell,” and Otto Reitz., with the “Labor Question,” by Walter E. Welke, all gained favor from the students and others present. GITCUE GUMEE Page 8 PRELIMINARY ORATORICAL CONTEST Six speakers were entered in the preliminary oratorical contest, held at the school February 6, in which Carl H. Daley, speaking on “Ireland and Home Rule,” won the right to represent Superior at Stevens Point. Second place was given to Miss Martha Wood and third place to Croft Toohy. The subject of Mr. Toohy’s oration was, “The New Democracy.” Miss Wood made a plea for the Indian. The orations that were given at this time were the workmanship of the students who delivered them. In that, they differed from the declamation. Both the style and the delivery of all the selections were very good. The oration by Carl Daley was the same one with which he was given first place in the state contest, and so has been discussed. His work in the preliminary meet was very well done, and easily earned him a first. Second honors well belonged to Miss Martha Wood. Her plea for the Indian came right from the soul of the speaker. Miss Wood, herself of that blood, put her whole heart into her oration, and proved conclusively to her audience that the Indian had the same heart, the same soul, the same virtues, and the same vices as a white man. “'Flic New Democracy,” given by Croft Toohy, briefly and faultlessly portrayed the working of that new force which is to-day taking hold and driving men forward. William Jones spoke on The Monroe Doctrine,” Miss Emclia Olsen on “The Power of an Ideal,” and Walter Ryan on “Income Taxation.” All deserved creditable notice. If they did not win, they at least conducted themselves in a manner to make the contest an interesting one. In the words of one of the judges, “We would like to give you all first if we could.” Miss Edith Hastings, of the High School, Mr. George Paulson, of Duluth, and Attorney W. P. Crawford, of Superior, acted as judges. INTER-NORMAL ORATORICAL CONTEST “Ireland and Home Rule” is the title of the oration which won for Carl H. Daley, Superior’s representative, first place in the Inter-Normal oratorical contest held at Stevens Point, on March 28. Speakers were present from each of the eight normals in the state. The victory was a most notable one, not only for Mr. Daley, but for the Superior Normal as well. Three judges out of five gave Mr. Daley first place, the other two marking him second. He was scored two full points under his nearest rival, Harold Erlandson, of River Falls. Never in the history of Normal oratory in Wisconsin did a contestant win by such a majority; never in the history was a winner graded so great a majority. It is the first time that Superior has landed in first place, or near first place, since Miss Jennie C. Hogan, Superior’s girl orator, was given that honor over seven men in 1908, when the contest was held in this city. Mr. Daley will represent the State of Wisconsin at an Inter-State meeting, to be held May 2, at Normal, Illinois. 'Flic reception given Mr. Daley and the Superior Normal delegation on its return from Stevens Point is one which will always be remembered. A rally lasting over an hour was held in the morning. During all of that time, cheers for “Daley,” Miss MacQuilkin, and others shook the building to its very rafters. The rally was finished in the gymnasium. It took all the afternoon to do it. The very roof of the Superior Normal School must have been surprised that day. It had never received such an impetus during the seventeen years that Normal yells have been hurled. Certain Superior people are wont to mock and deride the Normal with, “There is no Page 83 GIT CHE GUM EE spirit over at that school,” or, “They have no ‘pep’ over there.” Maybe they haven’t for little things like football or basketball victory. But, if the walls or roof could talk of that rally, they could a talc unfold that would make the most persistent skeptic slink away home and forever keep his peace. A brief description of what the Superior orator and his faithfuls were up against down the state might lit in right here. Six hundred people, students from every normal in the state, migrated to Stevens Point, a small station on the “Soo” line, reached by two trains each way every morning at two “P. X.” The largest delegation came from La Crosse, two special trains, carrying people, accompanied by a thirty-piece band. Oshkosh followed on La Crosse’s heels, with 88 students and the school band. Milwaukee was next with 75 and a school orchestra; Platteville, with nearly that number and the school band; White-water and River Falls, both with large delegations. “Where,” you ask, “Where was Superior?” Superior was there with twelve people, by far the smallest delegation. Its feeble noise could not be heard in the Stevens Point opera house, when the bands of other schools were silent, and the yells of other schools were stilled, above the murmuring whisper of the multitude of the other rooters. Not but that Superior tried hard; for Yell Leader Croft Toohy, time and again, urged his faithful cohorts on to “Brccky,” only to be swamped beneath the avalanche of sound which would break out from the larger delegations or the faithful school bands. Let us all, right at this point, take hope and trust that next year Superior will have a big bunch of boosters, if we can not have a brass band. We may not have a Carl Dalcv, next year. We may want to do our best yelling before the contest. “But they were all with us,” says the little band of boosters. “They were with us before Carl spoke, and sure were with us after he spoke.” T here you have something of the picture of what the state meeting is like. The 600 of out-of-town students, the six townspeople and Stevens Point students, three hands and one orchestra, all playing; twelve hundred people yelling like mad over their favorites, who had spoken and who were to speak. “Carl H. Daley, Superior, ‘Ireland and Home Rule.’ A man, who. if he were not an Irishman, would be ashamed of himself.” That is about the way Superior’s man was introduced. Mr. Daley hesitated a moment, until every one in the crowded hall had ceased cheering, until there was death-like silence; then he began. It was a plea right from the heart. It has been said, and it is generally believed, that the greatest orator is the man who can so speak that the audience forgets the man, forgets his actions and mannerisms, and thinks only of the subject and the thought he is trying to portray. If that be true, then Carl Daley is a great orator; for it is safe to say that there was not one in that assembly but was taken back, just for the moment, to Ireland, Ireland the downtrodden, Ireland the sufferer, back to the land of Daniel O’Connell and Kdmund Burke, and to other countless great patriots who have made for Ireland the name that it has to-day. Superior had cinched first place right there. It was all over but the shouting, which was far from over, and everybody knew it. All that remained was for the rest of the speakers to finish and the decision of judges to be made. The decision, as was expected, gave Carl Daley first by a great majority. INTER-STATE NORMAL ORATORICAL CONTEST T he history of the annual oratorical contests, in which an orator represents each of the states of Wisconsin, Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois, dates back as far as October 11, 1895, when the Inter-State League of Normal Schools had its birth. Up through the past eighteen years, victories have been won and lost bv the various schools. While Wisconsin is the youngest member of the league, she ranks second; while Kansas, the oldest member of the League, ranks first.

A fine oratorical contest, excellent declamatory preliminaries, in which more students than ever before in the history of the school took part. A well balanced school declamatory contest. 'That seems a much as could be desired. It is more than this school and many other schools have had to he content with. Hut to crown this the first place in the Inter-Normal Contest, for that every one in the school has already taken off his or her hat to Carl Daley. And so they should. Hut there is some one else to whom much of the credit of the great victory belongs. Some ore who has worked hard all year. Who did much to smooth the rough plrces and to patch the weak delivery. Some one who made oratory and declamation this year a success, and who paved a wav for the state victory. M iss Nona MacQuilkin in the second year in Superior has won something which many others have striven for. and for which only one was successful. She has done in that brief time what some have to wait years for. She has brought to Superior the state championship of oratory for the first time in six years, for the second time in the history of the school, ard by a larger majority than ever heard of in the state contest. Ptixc 5 G! TCI IE G I'M EE All Commercial Branches Are Taught Including STENOTYPY That Takes The Place of Shorthand IN this great college the whole commercial school is divided up into separate departments, with special, experienced teachers at the head of each. Bookkeeping is under one head, stenography and typewriting under another head, commercial law under another, hanking under another, stenotypy under another, arid so on. with a special preparatory department for students who are deficient in spelling, arithmetic and other branches, that arc so necessary to catering upon and finishing the commercial college course. The school is well supplied with roll top desks, typewriting machines, and every possible or known college equipment. The work is simplified and made as practical in the school as it is found in every day business, so that the student on taking his first position finds nothing new to him in the business world, 'litis is as it should be. Perfect familiarity and a thorough understanding of each study is required of the student to achieve a high degree of efficiency. I'lte new innovation in business college work, the stenotype machine, that takes the place of shorthand, which writes as fast as the human mind can think, is here taught to the finish, with adept expertness, to the wonder of the employer.

That the girls felt somewhat restless And were full of funnny tricks. Some one announced a masquerade Just when we finished dinner. And any girl that did not masque Would be a hardened sinner.
