This book is not a text-book on astronomy; neither is it a learned discussion on social welfare, nor a treatise on philosophy. It is, however, a book containing i6 G I T C II E G U M E E the happenings of the school year, gathered and recorded by members of the GITCHE staff. Students often ask. “Will the GITCHE be any better this year than before?” To this, we can only say that it can not be very different from other annuals, for the simple reason that there is nothing new under the sun. We have the same old faculty and the same old students, who do the same old things in the same old way. Even our new building does not have the power to cause this book to depart from the well-worn path. However, we have gathered the material which we think pictures the true school life of our Normal. We have not distorted the faculty or students, but have tried to present them as they are—real, natural, flesh and blood, human beings. Moreover, we have catered to no one. What we have printed here has been collected without partiality. Yet nil has been done in a spirit of kindness, with “love for all and malice toward none. It is our sincere wish that our publication of the GITCHE GIJMEE may be of some pleasure to all persons connected with the Superior State Normal. In behalf of the students, especially the Senior class, we wish to express our appreciation to Mr. A. M. Royec and Mr. I). C. Gates for their work in the Normal. Mr. Rovee, who was recently appointed to the presidency of the Plattc-ville Normal, has always been a kind and jolly friend to all students. Student teachers have always relied upon him to help them obtain positions and to instruct them in their duties, and he has never failed them. His loss will be hard to compensate. Mr. Gates, Superior regent on the state board of normal schools, has always shown a very friendly feeling toward the Superior Normal School. While our building was being erected, Mr. Gates was always on hand to do anything possible for the benefit of the students comfort and for the appearance of the building. To him, we owe a great many things which, perhaps, we arc inclined to take for granted. We wish to express onr appreciation to the members of the faculty for their kind interest in our annual—particularly to Mr. A. 1). S. Gillett; for. without his help and advice, this book would have been a miserable failure. We also wish to specially thank Miss Harriet Eaton for giving us one of the library rooms in which to work undisturbed. To the members of the student body, we give a vote of thanks for their contributions and encouragement.

THERESA YDERSTAD. In a city in north Wisconsin, Near the lake so bright and grand. Stands our brand-new Normal building. The fairest in the land. We will ever sing its praises, Nor honor shall it lack. For we shall work aye for the Juniors, And the orange and the black. Through many years of school-life, In our work as in our play. As wc climbed the hill of knowledge, Struggling on from day to day. We have tried to win new victories, Every noble lad and lass. We hove tried to win new honors For the lively Junior class. When we did pass the portals Of Sophomore troubled mortals, We, Juniors, had our lessons. Both joy and sorrow wc had found. But wc shall treasure no grief or sadness, Nor turn our memories back. But look to one more year of gladness 'Neath the orange and the black. This, our first year in the new Normal building, has been a nio t successful one. Our magnificent, massive Normal, as well as the enthusiasm and skill of our instructors, have inspired us to put forth our best efforts. Our Sophomore class is unusually bright and clever, as the honor roil testifies. We scarcely know what the word flunk” means—a word quite familiar to the different members of the other classes. It has been due to our diligence in Informing school duties that our social functions have not been more numerous THE SOPHOMORES. In the history of our Normal. Is there a class now quite as bright As the brilliant and active Sophomores Who arc always in the right? You may ask the Normal faculty. And you'll find they will admit That we overcome the stepping stones Of grammar or of lit. The hard exercises in penmanship That arc given hv Miss Kirk. And Mr. Wyatt's. Now. do he quick. I)o not make us shirk. So here's to our class of Sophomores. The wondrous and the bright; And here’s to the faculty of our school, Who help us win the fight. —E. J.

Never before in the history of the college course was there such marked increase in attendance. Professors believe that the opening of the new building had much to do with the heavy enrollment. After the first two weeks of school, the combined college -nd high school training courses, which are considered practically as one. bad an enrollment of sixty-seven. Many were first year students, as only fifteen will be graduated this year, as compared to seventeen in 1 1The graduating class of that year still is the school record. Although the class has had its social functions and its fun throughout the year, it was easily seen that students were attending school mainly to get an education. Not to be boastful, .mention must be made of the fact that approximately 50 per cent, of the students on the honor roll, which included those who had obtained an average mark for studies of 5)0 or better, were members of the college class. Professor A. 1). Whealdon. dean of the college course, is highly elated over the work accomplished this year, and is confident that the course will grow by leaps and bounds until the school finally will take the place of a college to serve northwestern Wisconsin. It is the hope of supporters of the normal college course plan. that, in time, degrees in certain subjects can be obtained at the school without additional university work. The fact that Superior and Stevens Point college departments have been made members of the Association of North Central Colleges and Schools speaks well for the realization of this ambition. The association is a co-operative one in which students from any school or college that is a member can continue in his studies in any other member-college without passing preliminary examinations. Any school must present a long list of requirements in the way of equipment, salaries of teachers, and the like, before it is admitted into the association. Professor Whealdon hopes that many of the local college students will take advantage of the opportunity offered. The fact that more girls were enrolled in the class tin's year than ever before (nineteen, to be exact) gave several opportunities throughout the year for social functions. The class organized shortly after school opened, and Clifford BiseholV wes elected president, and Mary Mile, secretary-treasurer. 45 G I T C H E G U M E F OUR FRAPPED FRATERNAL LIFE Being- Chronicles and History of Pet Societies in the College Class.

Owaissa was nwnkcned by the scintillating rays of light playing on tlic soft, white buckskin wall of her summer wigwam. She threw the beaded Hap hack from the o| ening. and stepped out on the crinkling carpet of pine needles. Through the pines, she could see Gitche Gurnee sparkling in the early sunlight. She carried her woodland beauty with a regal air. and well she might, for her father was the renowned Chippewa chief. Black Bass. No princess ever graced her position more perfectly than did the dark-eved nymph of the northern forest, who was named to the council lodge, which was considerably larger than any other of the hundred and fifty or more tcc|H cs, scattered around in the dense shadows of the pines. Climbing a huge tree near the lodge. Owaissa was soon swaying from the topmost branch of the king of the forest. This wns Owaissa’s own lookout tower. The sun was also rising to get another look at the paradise by the sky-blue water, and he sent out a golden arm of greeting to Owaissa, who. holding iii to the tree with one hand, was extending the other in supplication to the Great Manitou to give peace and plenty to her people. Below her. on the lake shore, lay a numerous flotilla of chcemauns, ranging in size from the huge war canoes to her own tiny bark. Rising out of the lake On both sides of the valley, a winding river emptied into the bay, which was separated from the lake by two converging points. The Chippewa camp was on the north point. A flash of light from the west caught her eve. and. watching, she saw that mv father, look!”) Why calls the daughter of Black Bass?” came in heavy tones from within the teepee. Nush'ka! Sioux chccmaun,” she excitedly cried, pointing out toward the bay. The tall, heavy-set Indian who now stood beside her sent a shrill cry bv one hundred naked warriors who had answered his call. The canoe was soon beached at the feet of the chief. A middle aged Sioux and a handsome young warrior stepped out and saluted Black Bass. “Kenue of the Sioux sends his greetings by his son Ahdeek and his brother Osseo.” greeted the elder. Bijou, bijou. The relatives of War Eagle are the friends of Black Bass,” answered the chief, leading the way to his teepee. Blue Bird In' her mother.- long since dead. Passing her father’s wigwam, a splendid piece of barbaric art. she came and running back to the southwest, two ranges of hills enclosed a broad valley. the regular flashes of light came from the paddles of a rapidly approaching canoe. Descending rapidly, she was soon calling. Onowag no’sa nush’ka!” ( Wake, reverberating through the forest, and strode down the path to the bay. followed 56 G I T C II E GUMEE That night, a big feast was held, ami Owaissa danced the saered dance of Gitchc Gumec. Ahdcck's passionate blood was tired by the beauty and gracefulness of the dancer, and. seeing this. Black Bass rose to his feet and announced, In the moon of falling leaves, Ahdeck shall lead to his wigwam by the Minnehaha the most beautiful maiden of the north, my daughter Owaissa. For several evenings, Ahdeck played Sioux love songs to her on his flute, as she listened within her wigwam. One evening, he found the beaded flap thrown back from the opening. Recognizing the signal, he soon found her seated on one of the sand dunes near the south end of the point. Stealing up beside her. Alidcek tenderly drew her to him. and with her flushed cheek near his, he told her of his beautiful home near the I.aughing Waters, of his many ponies and how he would some day be the chief of all the Dakotas. Suddenly, a Chippewa war cry, followed by a Sioux death cry, startled the lovers from their dream. Then, all was quiet. Ahdeck jumped to his feet with tense limbs, ready to rush to the aid of his uncle. But shadowy forms were seen creeping toward the couple from beneath the pines. Owaissa, seeing them, cried, Fly, fly, my lover. They will kill you. Here is my canoe.” Ahdeck crushed her to him, and, turning, lie leaped down to the canoe, and soon was skimming towards the east. The next morning, after a night of heart broken sobbing, Owaissa learned that Osseo had been slain by Black Bass, whom lie had caught cheating while playing pugnsaing. She also learned that messengers had been sent to the other Chippewa tribes with the red wampun of war. That evening, the warriors who had pursued Aluleek returned with word that lie had ascended the Brule and portaged at White Birch to the Ash Ah We We, and was now safely in his own country. That summer, the point was made a huge encampment for all the tribes of the Chippcwas, and a bitter war was planned with the Sioux. One morning, from her lookout tower, Owaissa saw a huge line of canoes come winding down the Nemadji, across the bay, and out through the channel to the lake. It was the Chippcwas with nearly live hundred Sioux captives. They landed on the lake shore beneath Owaissa; but, try as she might, she could not sec her lover among the captives. Then lie must have been slain in battle. Numbed by the horror of it. she crept to her wigwam, where she sat with unseeing eyes staring at the wall. Suddenly, a soft whisper at her back startled her. and. turning, she saw Ahdeck creeping into the wigwam. With a joyful cry, she clung to him while he told her his story. Reaching home, Owaissa,” he said, my father sent a large party of us back to revenge my uncle Osseo. All summer long we have been lighting; and, when we thought we had defeated the enemy, having driven them across the .South Hill, wc suddenly found we were surrounded by a huge force. I)cs| cratcly we fought; but. when only live hundred remained alive, wc surrendered, hoping for mercy because of former friendship. But I disguised myself as a Chippewa, and, keeping away from your father, was not recognized. But now.” he said bitterly, “your father is torturing my comrades. I have cut the bonds of some who remain under guard in the wood. They may escape. But come, or they will And me here. Wc must fly together. Ahdcck’s words were cut short by a frenzied shout of alarm, which soon gave way to shouts of rage. The lovers darted out of the wigwam and toward the North Hills. Out c: 1 the lake, they could see the Sioux fleeing in the stolen chccmntin, while on shore the baffled Chippcwas were venting their rage on the few remaining Sioux. GIT CHE GUMEE 57 The young couple soon came to tile rocks, and. climbing up, turned westward. Looking backward, they saw a party of warriors racing along the lake shore toward the rocks. They had been discovered. They increased their pace, but soon they could hear the war-whoops of the pursuers growing nearer and nearer. At last, when it seemed as though their pursuers were upon them. Aluleek saw a canoe lying below them on the shore. Darting down the rocks, they were scarcely on the water, when, with a cry of rage, their pursuers bounded down the rocks to the shore. But the canoe was old and the birch bark cracked, and Ahdcck was forced to land on an island out in the river. Seeing their plight, the pursuers gleefully set to work making a raft with which to cross to the island. It soon grew dark, and, sure of their victim, the Chippewas threw themselves on the ground and were soon sleeping. The moon arose and bathed that beautiful scene in her soft light. As if loath to hurry the gruesome tragedy, the moon slowly descended the western heaven as dawn approached. At the first gleam of dawn, the Chippewas were up. Soon the raft was launched and the pursuit was on again. Reaching the island, they went bounding through the trees with triumphant cries in search of their victims. In vain. No trace was found of the young Sioux and his Chippewa maid. Only the canoe with a hole in the bottom remained. A fear suddenly seized all. They were in the; presence of a mystery unsolv-able by human minds. Evidently the Great Manitou had taken the lovers. They fled in panic to the raft, in fear that the spirit world was in pursuit. This island they called Spirit Island, and even though the palc-facc has his clubs and summer homes on the island, no Chippewa has ever put his foot on the haunted sacred soil since Gitchc Manitou saved his children from capture. JOHN E. DONALDS. THE HIGHER LAW. It was twilight of a late November evening. The wind, whistling shrilly down the wide open chimney of Uncle Kph's cabin, reminded him that he had better make another trip to the wood-pile before it grew any darker. The old negro shuffled across the floor, groaning with his rheumatism. He hated to go out to the wood-pile. It was cold, a light rain was falling, and the sharp wind from the salt marshes brought with it the sound of the distant baying of hounds. They evidently were out on a man hunt to-night; for only the hounds from the penitentiary could howl like that. The wood-pile loomed up in the dusk, a good place for shelter; for Kph’s cabin was the only one on the barren flats skirting the salt marshes. Glancing fearfully around, the old man stooped to pick up some wood, and carried it across the empty space to his cabin. He dropped his burden hastily down upon the hearth, and turned to bar the door. The one flickering candle threw his shadow grotesquely upon the rough walls. The small window was lacking j: pane, and Kph had stuffed it up with a piece of gunny-sack. Two worn-out chairs stood in front of the huge fireplace, and a ladder in one corner led to the unfinished loft above. Kph. happy over the prospect of the yams roasting in the coals and the hot toddy afterwards, forgot his fear of a moment before, filled his corn-cob pipe, and sat down to watch the yams. Suddenly, a slight noise made him turn with a start. The gunnv-s.ack stuffing had fallen out of the window, and the cold wind was blowing in through the opening. (Coiifimud on rag .

The name. “Qui Vive Drama Study Club.” was temporarily adopted, officers were elected, and an interesting program carried out. The members presently decided that they did not wish to confine their programs entirely to the study of literature. The club was accordingly reorganized for the serious study of the three arts, music, literature, and dancing. The permanent name, “Three Arts Club,” was adopted, and a constitution drawn up. There arc now thirty-four active members and eight non-resident members. The following short stories have been read this year: The Necklace. Selections from O. Henry,” “The Mill, “The Coward,” The Voyage of the Wee Red Cap,” and The Lady or the Tiger. Miss Rose Bowen, of the Sui crior High School, gave a most stimulating talk on Modern Short Story Writers. Music is an important part of every program. Several social meetings have been held by the club, a Hallowe’en party, two dances, and a program and reception for new members. The club will close its year with a banquet. It is expected that this will be such a memorable affair that it will become an annual part of the club program. 65 YOUNG WOMEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.

After marking time for n year on account of the loss of our old beloved home, the Superior Normal has again resumed its accustomed place among the Normals of the state, that place being among the best. and. in the case of oratory, at the head of all. The Oratorical Association was organized early in the school year with the election of officers by the students. Those chosen to carry on this work were: Sidney French, president; Henry Blombcrg, vice president; Miron Morrill, secretary; and Miss Geraldine Marshall, treasurer. Upon the resignation of Mr. Morrill, lie was succeeded in oficc by Miss Hazel Burnside. The preliminary contest to choose the school’s representative was held Friday. February II. 1916, in the school auditorium. The winners of the contest were: Joseph Duff.speaking on ‘'Pan-Germanism: A Menace.” first place; Henry Blom-berg. speaking on “Universal Brotherhood.” second place; and Lillian Shoresman, speaking on “The Jew in America,” third place. All energies were now turned toward the state contest, which, for the first time in eight years, was to be held in Superior. Backed by an enthusiastic and energetic faculty, the students were willing to go all lengths to guarantee a success. If the remarks of the visiting delegates may be taken as an indication, Superior certainly entertained geests in real Superior style. When the seventeenth of March arrived, everything was in readiness. Through the courtesy of the Rotary and Commercial clubs, we were furnished with a band of twelve pieces. About one hundred visitors, delegates, and speakers from other normals attended the contest, among them being the Oshkosh Normal band of 26 pieces and the Milwaukee Normal Male Glee Club. The results of the contest are known to all. it is hoped. Every member of the school and every person present will remember, to his or her last day. bow Superior first entertained her guests royally, then “showed them up in oratory.

Until recently, no satisfactory explanation of this ambiguous phrase had been made, and many, in sport, took it to mean the hour when war should be declared against England. However, the last nineteen months have .shown that this, is no matter for amusement. The Germans are aiming not only at the domination of England, but at that of Europe and of the world. Idealists and advocates of peace have been mistaken in the treating of this vast plan for supremacy as an unreality. True it is. that only a few German officials know the full details of the plan for this stupendous enterprise: but these few have fired with their very spirit the whole nation. Three centuries ago. Prussia was a little country, pushed hither and thither 68 G I T C H E GUMEE by her neighbors. Her rulers saw that the only way to preserve her national life was by aggression. Adopting the method of robbing before being robbed, she secured access to the Baltic, obtained the coveted Silesia, and annexed much of Boland. All this by war. Her defeat bjf Napoleon, her only humiliation, opened the eyes of Bismarck to the necessity of impregnable military power. At this ) c-riod. Germany began to prepare. Every effort was bent toward the effecting of an empire, complete and efficient in every detail. Every individual accomplish incut, recognized as an aid toward the great goal of utter efficiency, was encouraged and supported. Every stride of the fatherland in its proud march of attainment was hailed and cheered as the triumph of a conqueror. The heavy spirit of Bismarck settled upon her. She adopted his brutal greatness, and accepted his sublime conception of a state. Germany forgot even God in her exaltation of the German people. Continuing the policy laid down by this giant intellect, the little kingdom grew to be n powerful state. Her population increased to such an extent that it was not only difficult, but well nigh impossible, for all of her efficient, well-trained men to secure employment. Her entire agricultural nren was practically occupied. Her industries increased almost abnormally, making the output from German factories enormously in excess of the needs of her people. If she did not soon find a market for her surplus wenlth and manufactures and an outlet for her overflowing population, Germany's days as a world power were numbered. Her future course became no longer a question to the thoughtful German citizen. Germany had to expand or be plunged into bankruptcy. This belief in an imminent annihilation drove Germany to extreme measures. She must have food for her millions; she must have employment for iicr men; and. therefore, she required territory. Hemmed in as she was by unfriendly nations, expansion meant the acquisition of that to which other countries laid claim. If she was to acquire territory, she wanted the counterpart of the fertile plains of Canada, of the rich valleys of northern Africa; but all such available spots were held by France, England, and Russia, and might be obtnined only from them. England. France, and Russia were inimical to Germany’s welfare. If she was to escape ruin, she must fight them. The militant spirit of Bismarck, still a vital force, speaking through his living colleagues, manifested itself, and Germany was aroused to its magnificent effort in the present war. The ethical side of this question. as to whether or not this procedure was right, was not a matter of concern with the German | coplc. General Bernhardi's statement is an expression of the national sentiment, “Might is right, and right should he decided by war. But, while this apparent need of Germany's increasing population for territorial expansion has played a great part in driving the world to war. every one is agreed that the material motive alone docs not entirely explain Germany’s desire for expansion. Out of the intense nationalism which has made of this small inland country a military unit, formidable and self-sufficient, there has sprung into existence a fierce, determined pride in German culture and philosophy, the propagation of which has become to the German | coplc a religious duty. German civilization is the highest form of civilization that has been obtained. It is best for the German, and ! c t for the world. If war he needed to impose it. why. that justifies war. So argues the German philosopher. H. G. Wells goes so far ns to say, This is a conflict of culture, and nothing else in the world. All the worldwide pain and weariness, the bloodshed and destruction, are but the material consequences of a false philosophy and a foolish thinking. A whole nation has become obsessed by pride.” The German nation has gone wrong in theoretical and practical politics. She has been made to believe that she is a people of peculiar excellence destined to dominate the earth. She has evolved a false doctrine which is a menace to the pence of the world. If these notions of Germany arc correct, it will not be long before the world is ruled by the Teutonic race. The situation demands your attention, you, who GITCHE GUM EE 69 calmly read the headlines of your morning papers and resign yourselves to the comforting thought that your nation cannot become involved. The Hocr War, the strangling of Persia, and the Halkan crisis arc only small incidents in this gigantic struggle. The control of the globe is at stake. The ideals and interests of the Anglo-Saxons arc in a death grapple with the Teutonic race. Europe is engaged in the vastest war in human history. ' a war. which, for the last nineteen months, has shaken the foundations of the governments of the world—a war which has made us forget Germany as the land of dreams and the home of children of romance, the country of Grimm, Schubert, Mozart, and Beethoven; and made us aware of a new Germany, a nation of unspeakable savages surpassing the lluns in barbarity and the Turks in wickedness. A miracle has been accomplished. A great and civilized nation has been transformed inti a danger to mankind. Europe has put fifteen millions of her soldiers in the field in order to fight it. The combined forces of three of the great nations have, in a year and a half of dogged fighting, been unable to penetrate the boundaries behind which these Teutonic people have fortified themselves. Not one battle has been fought upon their soil. Not one of their wheat-fields or factories has been left in ruins. Germany to-day is practically intact. She is as sound now as she expected to be. In view of all these facts, it is essential to the best interests of mankind says Era nee, England, and the United States, that Germany, with her false philosophy uphcld by a military autocracy, shall be beaten to her knees. But what docs the destruction of Germany mean? Germany is composed of sixty-five millions of people. Is it proposed to slit all their throats? Will German thought and idealism be destroyed when her armies are beaten, and her soldiers killed or distributed as prisoners of war? No! the annihilation of Germany is an impossible feat. A military victory cannot change a belief. The persecutions of history have been the fertilizers of ideas, not the destroyers. The present war is calling attention to German ideals and philosophy, not covering them up. If the opponents of Prussian philosophy are concerned only with the cessation of fighting, then this year and a half of nightmare will have served merely as an advertisement for a doctrine of militarism, which shall be transferred from capital to capital. What shall it profit the world that German militarism was strangled in 1 ! 17, if in I960 Russian militarism or American militarism, or Japanese militarism, shall be allowed to repent this last year’s tragedies? If the allies are concerned merely with the end of fighting, their vision is little clearer than that of their opponents. To win battles and protect countries with invincible armies and powerful fleets, is comparatively simple and seldom attended by the desired results. The blood-soaked history of Europe is a menacing witness to the futility of force and the frailty of military victory. A hundred fold nobler and more permanent will he the victories achieved by intelligent organization, resulting from a careful study of the realities of life, not from the standpoint of the German, nor from that of the Englishman, nor even of the American, but of humanity, when the thunder of cannon and the horrors of the battlefield arc things of the past. The outcome of this war depends absolutely upon the genuineness of the world's disbelief in Prussianism. disbelief in the value of military power and the desire for political domination. When mankind is convinced that those obnoxious fallacies, which arc showing themselves to he so hateful in tin; German ] coplc, arc not confined to the Germans alone, hut arc tainting all nations in a degree; when men arc converted to the idea that the struggle for political power is a barren and evil thing, and that the attainment of such power adds nothing to the welfare of those who achieve it; then the end of this struggle will be at hand not because the German army is beaten, not because the empire of Germany is a thing of the past, but because all narrow conceptions of partisan pride, glory, and patriotism have subsided and have been replaced by an unselfish co-operation of all for the security and welfare of all. • [Contimud oh f-agt 95.] GITCHE GUM EE 71 Debaters—six of them—all of a large caliber, rapid-fire, guaranteed speed of two hundred words a minute, stand to the credit of the Lyceum Debating Club. Yes; but. besides these, an energetic support of the oratorical contest, the management and financing of an inter-normal debate, and that same debate won for the Superior Normal School, arc only a few of the achievements of this club. Heal husky just now, thank you,” is the answer given by the Ly ecu mites whenever an outsider inquires about the health of their organization. And they have a perfect and proper right to respond so; for their ranks are recruited nearly to the limit with young men who have learned to use their cerebral faculties. Rotation in office is firmly adhered to in the Lyceum, and little can be said, for lack of space, about the four groups of officers elected during the year. Suffice it to name the present incumbents, who are: Anton Omernik, president; Miron Morrill, vice-president; Russell Greenfield, secretary; James Lounsbury, treasurer; and Charles Nichols, sergeant-at-arms. When the president steps out upon the debate platform, bis opponents tremble, for lie breathes fire. The vice-president is also a debater, and the secretary presides at such functions with a superlative dignity worthy of the society. As a financier, the treasurer ranks with John I), and J. Pierpont. Jr. He steered the financial canoe through the rapids of probable deficit very skillfully. Other members feel that the sergeant-at-arms is already sufficiently well known especially among the feminine majority. Regarding the debate with River Falls that was held in the auditorium the evening of April 1 K the results speak more loudly than words. The Superior argumentarians clearly outclassed their opponents. The decision could not have CoulinutJ on f'Jgt j). 72 G I T C II E G U M E E FACULTY PARTY Oil Saturday, February 12, the Faculty of the Normal School entertained the students in the different rooms of the building. They were given little hearts on which the numbers of certain rooms were written. At a given time, a bell was rung, and the students started on their journey. They visited such countries ns Japan, where they were requested to sit on cushions that were placed on the floor, and they were also served with rice which they ate with chop-sticks. Then, after twenty minutes were over, another bell rang, and the tourists went on to another country. Probably they went to Italy and up to Home, where an oracle told their fortune. Many other clever ideas were carried out. In the halls and music room, which were beautifully decorated with many colors, the students and faculty members danced, and were later served with refreshments. On the whole, the party was very successful. COLLEGE PARTY The college students gave their party, February. 26, in the music room of the school. The old dances, such as the Virginia reel and the square dances, were used ns a form of entertainment. A large crowd of the students attended. G I T C II E G U M E E 73 GITCHE STAFF PARTY. The GITCHE Staff were delightfully entertained at the home of Professor and Mrs. T. J. McCarthy, Saturday evening, March 25. A color scheme of yellow was beautifully carried out by the use of jonquils. Games, making of silhouettes, and singing familar songs formed the entertainment for the evening, after which a delicious luncheon was served. The members of the staff surely were the guests of honor. We take this opportunity of expressing our appreciation to Miss Rose Smith, editor-in-chief, and Profesor and Mrs. McCarthy. SOCIETY. The Seniors gave a class party at the Onawav Club House, October 20. Particular features of the evening were impromptu stunts carried out by the class, which was divided into four groups for this purpose. Dancing and refreshments furnished entertainment for the rest of the evening. Although this was the first party of the year, every one reported a good time. JUNIOR PARTY. The Junior class gave their party November 23, at the Country Club house. Dancing and the grand march formed the entertainment of the evening, after which refreshments were enjoyed. DEBATE. (Conliinudfrom f Jgr 7 .) been rendered in any other way than unanimously for Suj crior. Members of the Superior team were Walter I)ahl, Miron Morrill, and Henry Blombcrg (captain). River Falls debaters were Walter J. Itummcl, Joseph B. Taylor, and L. C. White (captain). Judges were Professor O. W. Oksancs, Northland College, Ashland; Professor Carl E. Wallace. Duluth Normal school; and P. P. Colgrove, superintendent of schools at Virginia, Minn. Professor Lloyd Goble was the River Falls coach, and Professor G. M. Palmer, the Su|� erior coach. All the members of the club know that the negative team that debated the same night at Stevens Point was invincible. Its members were Reginald Smith, Anton Omernik, and Sidney French (captain). Defeat had previously been administered to Su] crior's affirmative team at their hands, with capable faculty members as judges, and the members of that team testify unqualifiedly to their opponents’ ability. According to the rules of the triangle, the visiting team submits a list of judges from which the home team selects three. The Stevens Point people selected only one from Superior’s list, and sent back a list of their own, from which Superior was forced to choose two more. Thus it may be seen that only one of the judges that officiated that evening was elected according to the triangular rules. To this fact, Superior’s defeat by a two-to-onc decision may undoubtedly be attributed. This was the second time that a Superior team has been confronted with such a situation, and it will be the last. Real debating owes the vitality it now lias in the school to the unstinted efforts and energies of Professor Palmer. His experience and fighting spirit, after being combined with the needful amount of research work, emerge in a broadside of succinct arguments aimed at the crania of judges and audience. 74 G IT C H E G U M B F.

Three pice clubs were organised by Miss Curtis early in the school year, all of which have done very active work. The Girls' Glee Club has distinguished itself on several programs, including the graduation exercises at the Bryant School, a glee-club concert given at the East-End Presbyterian Church, and at all of the local school concerts and programs. The Boys’ Glee Club has appeared in a concert at the First Presbyterian church and has sung before Grand Army posts in Superior and Duluth, at the state oratorical contest, and at various school gatherings. They are contemplating a trip this spring. A mixed glee club of seventy-five members was organized this year, for the first time. This glee club is planning to give The Little Tycoon,” which is to take the place of the usual senior class play this year. The Little Tycoon is a comic opera in two acts, written by Willard Spenser. The first act takes place on board a ship, whereon Violet and her friends are returning from a trip abroad. Violet has met an English lord, while abroad, whom her father wishes her to marry. This somewhat complicates matters, ns she has already promised to marry Alvin, one of the party. The whole story is of their attempts to outwit the father. General Knickerbocker, which they finally do by making him think Alvin a member of the royal family of Japan, the great Tycoon. 'Phe second act is laid in the garden of General Knickerbocker’s home in Newport. The friends of Violet and Alvin try all sorts of schemes to make the father agree to their marriage. They finally decide that lie shall pose as a Japanese monarch. He disguises as such ruler and sends word to General Knickerbocker that he has chosen Violet as his.wife. The father feels greatly honored, and insists that Violet marry her lover. The whole opera is full of action and humor, and promises to be a great success. The cast will be as follows: Violet________ . ,__________________________ ___________________Esther Lindegren Alvin . -..

Athletics at Superior Normal have not yet recovered from the fire of 191 L While the new building is completed, adequate facilities for training have not yet been provided. But. in spite of the lack of proper training quarters, the traditional gamcncss and fighting qualities of the S. X. S. are still much in evidence. Last fall, when it seemed practically impossible to have a football team, a mass meeting of the boys was held to discuss the situation. It was voted unanimously to put a team in the (Continued on f'age 83.) CAPTAIN BUTLER. Led H.IIUck DAVID ROBERTS. Ccnle FOOTBALL SQUAD 82 G I T C II E GUMEE FOOTBALL. CoiitiwuJ from f jgt 79. field; about twenty-five men responded to tlie call for candidates, among them tlie veterans. George Butler, Claude Olson. Nat Schneider, Dave Roberts, and Cliff Bischoff. After the meeting the veterans convened according to custom, and George Butler, who for two years had ably filled the position of cpinrterbaok, was elected captain. With the loyal support of Professor C. W. Smith, faculty manager, suits were secured, a shower hath installed in the power-house, and the season was on. At this point, another cog slipped; no coach could be secured. . But the ardor of the squad could not he dampened, and for three weeks the hoys practised faithfully and vigorously without the aid of a mentor. Finally Doc” August was secured to guide the destinies of the orange-and-black for the second successive season. Under his able tutelage, the squad was rapidly whipped into shape, and the preliminary games commenced. The first game was with the strong Alumni aggregation, at Hislop Park. The game was a snappy one, and the teams seemed so evenly matched, that, for a time, the scale of victory hung in the balance. Finally, Captain Butler got away and scored the only touchdown of the day, and the game ended 7 to 0 in favor of the pedagogues. In this game, John Donalds, a promising candidate for a halfback position, shattered his collar hone, and was forced to retire for the rest of the season. The next game was with our old rival, the Superior High School. This is always the most interesting of the preliminary contests, and this year’s game proved to be no exception. Enthusiasm ran high on both sides, and the High School students were rather optimistic, hut their dreams of victory were rudely shattered. Captain Butler led off with two touchdowns. Olson made a third, and McNamara, after receiving a beautiful forward pass from Duff, crossed the goal line for the fourth touchdown. Rehnstrand’s goal kicking was perfect. The veterans, Roberts and Hintcrbcrg. starred in the line. The final score was 28 to 0, the High School being unable to score. The last of the preliminary contests was played at Ashland. October 16. with Northland College furnishing the opposition. The defenders of the orangc-and-black ran rampant, and the final score was 28 to 0 in favor of S. X. S. Captain Butler again led in scoring, crossing the goal line twice, while Quayle and Olson each added a touchdown. Cowic and .McNamara did stellar work at the end positions. The first of the conference games was played at home on October 23. La Crosse being the invading team. We had visions of the southern visitors biting the dust; visions based on the good work of the team in the preliminary contests; but, after the kickoff in that eventful game, our visions faded and disappeared. The visitors' steam roller proved too much for us, and we were crushed 31 to 0. The feature of the game was a j erfectly executed pass, Butler to Cowic, which was gathered in under great difficulty by the diminutive end. The last home game of the season was played on October 30. The foe on this occasion was Stevens Point. The enemy should have been taken into camp, but errors in judgment on the part of our players, at critical moments, lost us the game. The game was hotly contested, and at times it seemed as though the orange-and-black were about to break out in their early season form, but Stevens Point maintained the supremaev and won hv two touchdowns, the game ending S. P. 12; S. N. S. 0. The season dosed with the game at River Falls, November 7. The team that later became state champions were in excellent form, and the Superior boys, (hough game to the core, and fighting every minute, were outclassed and took the short end of a 6! to 0 score. On the whole, the season can be regarded as successful, for although we won no conference games, nevertheless, the spirit of the squad and the school was such that we feel justly proud. H. J. B. G I T C II E GUMEE 83 BASE BALL Baseball at the Normal may be said to be in its infancy. No doubt, the game will become a conference sport in due time—we thought it would this year, but were disappointed. A less expensive sport than football, the great American game attracts some boys who lack the beef and brawn for a successful gridiron star, but who nevertheless like a fine, healthy sport. In 1911, we had a fine team, the Jackson brothers, Olson, Bloinbcrg. Henncssy, Ilinterberg, Manila. Butler, Thorp, being in the line-up. The local schools proved easy for this bunch, and enthusiasm waned because of little competition. This year, besides the usual local games, we cross bats with River Falls, the latter part of May, on our grounds. At a meeting held recently, Claud Olson was elected captain of the 191G team Olson is a heaver of great promise, a good batsman, and can fill in at first when called on. New men trying out this year under Coach McCarthy are McNamara, Donalds, Sargent, Duff. Eckly, C-owie, Glide. Of tlie old men. Olson, Blomhcrg, Butler, Henncssy, remain. The uniforms this year will be blue grey with dark stripe. Let us wish this latest addition to our sports great success. May the boys win new honors for S. N. S. AN OLDE ENGLISH CHRISTMASSE. A one-act play, without a plot except far the mumming play, was beautifully acted out in the assembly ball of the school by the members of the Normal Training Department. The program was a representation of Old English customs, costumes, history, and language. A mumming play was given in connection with the sword dances, the lighting of the yule log and the candles, the boar's bead procession, the passing of the wassail bowl, and the wassailing of the apple trees. Besides these customs, there were Christmas dances and the singing of Christmas carols. All classes of people came to these celebrations. Sometimes, the players went from door to door; sometimes, they played in a castle at the lord’s invitation, and sometimes, they played in the street. Always, after the performance, a collection was taken for the poor. The dances arc both historical and traditional, dating back as far as the fourteenth century. In England, many of them are revived each Christmas and given with much zest. The pageant was very successful. Great appreciation is felt for the work of Miss Fierce and Miss Moulton, with the splendid co-operation of Miss Curtis, Miss Brady, Miss Kirwan, Miss Kreutz, Miss Craig, Miss Gibbcns, Miss Kennedy, and other members of the faculty and school in the production of this program.

Tarrant: Tlic longer the infancy, tile longer the man.” Miss Hill (in game class): “Miss Canty, you may direct the game. 'I'm very, very tall.' ” “We learn by doing. so Dympnn Koonev understands now that little black boxes arc not new fangled bubblers but just common fire alarm boxes. She gained this knowledge at the teachers' institute in Duluth. Edna sings just like a bird. The sweetest tones you ever heard. Miss Curtis said, In all mv years. No voice has quite so thrilled my ears!” The GITCHR staff (after the GFTCHK went to press): I wish I was a little rock, A sittin' on a bill, A-doin' nothin' all day long But just a-sitting still. I wouldn’t sleep, I wouldn’t cat, I wouldn't even wash, I'd just sit there a thousand years And rest myself, by gosh!” Student: Did I ever tell you the story about the girl and the cheek?” Joke editor: Is it funny?” S.: Yes.” J. E.: Go on. then; you never told it.” Cassie: What did my father say when you told him your love was like a broad and gushing river?” Malcolm: He said, 'I)am it.’” Henry Blombcrg. the famous debater, usually talks on big subjects. He has been known to talk for fourteen hours on his feet. Mr. McCarthy: This plant belongs to the Begonia, family.” Miss J.: “Oh, I see, you're keeping it while they’re out of town. Mr. Duff (in economics exam) “Shall we write on both sides?” Mr. Gillett: “Surely, what's the use of having both sides if you don’t use them ?” Mr. I.ounsburv. in German, gazing at Miss Schlcgc! very earnestly: I)u bist wic cine Blumc, so schon und hold und rein—” Miss Schlcgcl, greatly fussed: “Don't look at me! What are you looking at me for? Aren’t there enough pretty girls in the class, without your having to gaze at me?” LIKELY, ISN'T IT? Mr. Gillett: Now. Miss Carlson, suppose you were a citizen of Ireland—” Mr. Smith: “What causes day and night?” Bright pupil: Why, the sun passes through a shadow, doesn’t it?” Miss Wilkinson: “Take our thoughts and emotions from us, and what are we ?” Answer: Animals.” O FTCUK GUMKK 93 t WOULD-BE ADVICE. The following advices, I tender to you; So. if ever they do happen. You will know what to do. If your lessons you do not prepare, I)o not sit in class with a vacant stare: Mr. Gillctt. do not try to bluff. Or he will bawl you out— enuff;” If to a school party you should go, On modern dances do go slow, Or you will regret the day. When the faculty scorn conics your way. The Cilcc Club—you surely must belong: One minds not their looks when they sing a song. If on music you try to slip through, Miss Curtis will get after you. Never, oh never, develop a crush To keep you busy; your work Is enuff.” Save your smiles for later days; In the end you will find it pays. For the girls some special advice: To Mr. Gude be dutifully nice. Because his cvcr-rcady candy Always conics in quite handy. And now this ends quite dandy. Oh! THE MICROBE SERENADE. A lovelorn microbe met by chance. At a swagger bactcroidal dance. A proud bacilliau belle; and she Was first of the jjnimalculnc. An organism of saccharine. She was the protoplasmic queen. The microscopical pride and pet Of the biological smartest set. And so this infinitcsm.nl swain Evolved a pleading, low refrain: O lovely metamorphic germ, What futile scientific term Can well describe your many charms? Conic to these embryonic arms, Then hie away to my cellular home. And be my little diatom.” Mis epithelium burned with love, He swore by molecules above Slic’d be his own gregarious mate. Or else lie would disintegrate. This amorous mite of a parasite Pursued the germ both day and night, And 'ncath her window often played This Darwin-Muxlcy serenade. He’d warble to her every day This rhixopodical roundelay: O most primordial type of spore. I never met your like before; And, though a microbe has no heart, From you. sweet germ. I'll ne'er depart We'll sit beneath some fungus growth Till dissolution claims us both.” —Geo. Adc. HOW MR. WYATT’S VOICE DOES CARRY! Mr. Wyatt, at the time of the aeroplane scare, informed one of his classes that lie bad seen an aeroplane. Much to his disgust, the Telegram office called him up and wanted particulars. Mr. Bramaii, to some of the other faculty members: Ob say, have you heard the latest joke oil Wvatt? He told his class lie had seen an aeroplane, and they heard him away down at the Telegram office!” G1TCHK G U M E E 95 PAN-GERMANISM—A MENACE [ Continual from ftgt 6y.] The rcnl tnsk before mankind is quite beyond the business of the fighting line. The real task before mankind is to get some better judgment, not only into the heads of the Germans, but into the heads of humanity generally, and to end not simply a war, but all idea of war. What printing and writing and talking have done, printing and writing and talking can undo. Let no man be fooled by bulk and matter. Rifles do but kill men, and fresh men are born to follow them. Our business is to kill ideas. 'Die ultimate purpose of this war is the dcstruetioii of certain beliefs and the creation of others. It is to this propaganda that all reasonable men must address themselves.” BY THESE WORDS YOU MAY KNOW THEM. (). K. Anderson—“I disagree there. D. Clark— Here’s a hunch.” Myron Morrill— I object.

Curtis: Men arc the lead- ers of fashion.” Mr. 0.: I don't agree with you there.” MiSS C.: Well, any way. the women follow the men.” Mr. G.: 1 Mr. Duff, from a sociological view, wlmt is in your mind at present.” Joe (absently): Women.” Mr. (� .: “Mr. Olson, why do you continue to look at Miss Levins?” Claude: “I’d rather look at her than the blackboard.” Mr. Nichols (who has just been asked a question): I didn’t under- stand what you said before you spoke.” Mr. Smith: What is a graph.” Mr. Moore: A ‘graft’ is an alge- braic problem.” Mr. Smith, in trigonometry: If some of you fellows get many more zeros, you will soon roll out of class on them. Miss MacQuilkin: Give us a sen- tence using the word taciturnity. Student: The little chick’s taci- turnitv followed the old hen.” G I T C I I E G U M E E 97 WISE SAYINGS OF OUR FACULTY.

ICO (ilTCHE GUM EE THE SMILE THAT WONT COME OFF You may have noticed that great, broad smile Upon our withered face When, after vacation, the “Dorms” in file Come marching back with grace. But while their smiles have disappeared, And while they look so sad, Yet smile we must, we feel so cheered; To sec them makes us glad. That smile stays on, it seems, for good, We smile at them at sight, We smile and sell them candy food And powder red or bright, And stationery all the time And soap to keep them clean; We smile and think it not a crime To sell complexion cream. When vacation comes, their smiles come back Upon their rosy cheeks; They close their books with vicious smack And smile at the coming weeks; They even try to smile at us And think that we “are on,” But we couldn’t smile, nor even “fuss;” Our smiles are surely gone. Now girls, be sure, we'll miss you all, Especially in our store, But it’s good to know that you next fall Arc coming back once more. It is but right that we should wish A pleasant time for you; If you were boys we might call it fish, Let it be a summer beau. The HIGH SCHOOL PHARMACY G. BUCGE. Prop. B. HAGERUP-N1SSEN.

Modern ready-to-wear clothes satisfy this demand of the modern young man, preparing for a professional career in which appearance has such a deep psychological significance. The Columbia's famous year-round special, the COLUMBO $14.50 SUIT is fulfilling these requirements in true Columbia fashion, being always fresh from New York and being sold at a quantity price, ns it were, on a co-operative basis. Other stores ask $18 and $20 for the same quality. This is particularly true of the Minneapolis stores. The Colombo $14.50 Suit” is the best answer ever given to the young man’s suit question.

He was looking into the block muzzle of an ugly looking revolver thrust through the opening, while a voice bade him— Open that door, and do it mighty quick!” Quaking with fear, the old negro slid over to the door, and. with trembling hands, unbarred it. Instantly, he was thrust aside, and a man stood in the room. Petrified with terror, Eph watched him bar the door again. Then, he noticed something familiar about the man. Suddenly, the intruder pulled off his hat, revealing a surprisingly youthful face. Then, a light broke upon the old nego. Morse Steve! Morse Steve—” Yes, I’m back, and I’ve got my own back again!

He thought the Careys were all dead—but they’re not—and I’ve got my own back again. Do you hear that? Hunting me down like a dog because I took what was mine!” He stopped for breath. The dogs were coming nearer and nearer. They had struck the scent, and their howling had changed to short, sharp barks. They would soon reach the cabin, and he could hear their yelps of delight on reaching the end of their search. Instantly, there was a sharp rapping at the door. Open this door, Epll!” In jus’ a minute, Marse I.lovd—” Quick! Yes, yes—Oh for de Lawd’s sake—” Eph!” Eph shuffled to the door, and unbarred it.

Have you seen any one?” Seen anvhodv? Lawd, no, Mnr.se Lloyd. Ah hain't seen nobodv—nobodv 'tall.” “Well, I'll sit down and wait for the men. Yams?” The sheriff crossed over to the fire, pulled up one of the chairs, and settled himself comfortably in it. . “And hot toddy, Eph? Well, well, aren't you going to offer me any hospitality?” The sheriff's keen dark eyes were fixed on the old negro’s face. He must delay no longer, or Lloyd would suspect. Casting a terrified glance over his shoulder, and almost scalding the sheriff’s hands in his haste, he thrust the beverage into his grasp. Lloyd glanced at him keenly, and then settled himself again in his chair. Do you know, Eph,” lie said, thoughtfully, after a short silence, that's a mighty funny thing—that robbery. The thief broke into the drawing-room while the family were at dinner. He must have been mighty familiar with the house; for he went straight to that old Sheraton desk. It had a secret drawer that no one knew of except Stone himself. Well, Stone had put the old- Carey pearls nnd that miniature of Miss Sally into the drawer intending to take them to Richmond to-morrow. No one dreamed of such a thing until the family came in after dinner, and they found the desk o| cn. Another funny thing about it was, that there was nothing else taken but the pearls and the miniature. A mighty funny thing! He sat gazing thoughtfully into the fire. Eph roused himself.

He learned it from Itnndolph Carey when be bought the place, and Carey’s Ix-cn dead aland ten years now, hasn't lie,. Kph? Hy the way, has any one ever heard of young Steve Carey, the one that shipiH'd on a South American tramp when he was a hoy? Said he died of the fever in Brazil, twelve, no, fifteen years afco, didn’t they? It seems a shame for the old place to pass out of the family, doesn’t it? Why, the Careys have lived in that place for generations. They were the real thing, Kph, and all of them the soul of honor. Never heard of a mean thing about any of them.” Suddenly, there was a step lieliind them. The sheriff turned, his pistol loaded; Steve Carey stood before him, his face white and drawn. “You don’t need that, I reckon. I won’t get away. In fact, I don't intend trying.” He draw from his pocket a small package and handed it to the sheriff. I couldn't stand the thought of Stone having those. But I reckon he bought them with the rest. And the Careys are the soul of honor, sir. only—I must have forgotten it for a moment.” Lloyd slowly lowered his gun. “So you’re Steve Carry, are you? Sit down.” he said curtly. “I want to talk to you. “A long time ago. before you were born, your father, .Major Randolph Carey, did something for me which I shall never forget. What it was, is neither here nor there; hut I thougld that if i ever had a chance I would try to pay hack a little of the debt I owe him. I never had that chance while lie was alive, but I’ve got one now. Young man. I don't know where you came from, how you got here, or what you’ve done. I don’t care.

This is one of them. Here, the train leaves for Richmond in about half an hour. You can just aland make It. As for these things well, I reckon they still Itelong to the Careys. He rose from his chair, walked to the door, and opened it. “It’s iK'giiining to rain, and the dogs have lost the scent hy this time. And remrmlier. I’m doing this for your father—not for you.
