And sigh at parting, for best of friends must part. And thou hast been my friend. a faithful friend, XYho ne'er forsook me, e'cn unto the end Of all my journey through the boundless realm Of theory, which unfortunates o'erwhelm. I gaze upon thy worn and faded walls. One spotless as the snow, and see thy halls, And think, while chiding pangs of conscience sting, Of how I oft have termed thee, horrid thingu! XYith teachers kind thy many rooms are blessed. XYho strive to teach and lead us to successg XYhose ever kind and guiding care suggests :X shepherd. who, with his trusy rod. The Het-cy Hocks which feed in pastures abroad. Guardeth from harm and guideth o'er the hills, Oft rugged, steep. and coursed by running rills. And thus thou art, for we are but as sheep, XYho o'er the hills and shadowy valleys deep Of learning toil. which we ever threaded find XYith silver streams of love divine. Our shepherds, whom thou knowest. without doubt Do know thee well. in truth within, without. And thou'rt indeed our staff, whose chastisement How oft we've sorely felt as on we went. For when we've strayed beyond the beaten track Thy rules have nc'er been spared to bring us back, But yet thou hast. forsooth, a kindly lookg For while we have obeyed. our paths forsook, Full gently hast thou guided o'er the way Vtihich leads at last to lands we view to-day. And now the height to which we did aspire Is gained, and thou canst lead us on no higher. In pensive mood. I gaze below afar. On frisking lambs which sporting are. In blissful ignorance. on the daisied meadg And as I gaze my heart is moved to plead: Be thou to them what thou to us hast been, A trusty guide, admonisher of sin. So, fare thee well, and here's a parting tear For thee, our faithful friend, old X. D. dear. -M.

The men, the boys and girls who set sail in September nineteen-thirteen in the good ship North Division , the arms, the desire to learn and do right, and the help of those who guided them through peace and storm. On the eventful day the dock is crowded. There is great bustle and prepa- ration. Those who are to sail feel a thrill of joy, even while fear assails them. ls it possible that they are to mount to that lofty deck and sail away over the waters that glisten and beckon so invitingly? See! lt is time to go on board. Some walk the gang plank with hesitating step, others tread firmly. All are on board, the ship moves off, the voyage has begun. As the spires on the land they have left fade away, the sailors tu-rn from thoughts of the past to the tasks awaiting them, Organization is the first step. Captain Westcott is in command. The sailors are divided into two groups under the officers, Miss jones and Mrs. Saunders. Under their capable management all are soon at work. How difficult seem the new tasks on the great ship! Firm hearts quake when the sun hides behind clouds and the waves break over the decks. But each storm passes, and as every day brings its own tasks, each heart grows stronger and braver. It is not all work on board that ship. Every Friday brings an hour of recreation. Sometimes songs fioat out over the waters. Sometimes the shouts of games re-echo through the ship. Often the cabin is the scene of fierce debates and mirthful plays. The sailors, under Mate Saunders, give a play entitled, The Finer Shades of Honor. Again the comic opera. f'The Pirates of Penzance, entertains them. Thus in joy, work, sunshine and storm, the ship struggles through the first year's journey to the isle of Vacation 1914, where it is tied up for two months. Again the day of sailing has come. Again the sailors crowd upon the decks, this time without fear. There are some new faces, and some of the old ones are missing. There is the same captain, but under new officers, Miss Harter and Miss lX'lacl.ean, the sailors find their tasks enlarged and themselves thrown more on their own resources. How they carouse on Ha1lowe'en! How they enjoy their clubs, the S. P. R., for those sailors who are learning to pull the Latin ropes, the German and the Spanish clubs and the Click Click! February, 1915, the sailors and officers gather tearfully to bid fare- well to the captain, who had guided the ship thus far. As a last send-off they present the play, The Captain. All feel depressed as Captain Wiest- cott passes down the gangplank, to return no more as leader. But there is a new face in the cabin and a new step on the deck. Now let the sailors rejoice, for Captain Adams has taken command and will guide the ship to victory. Under the new regime those who have had the tendency to fall behind 38 are brought up to the mark. A mock trial is given in the cabin to discuss the rule that during working hours the sailors shall not indulge in ice-cream sodas and the like. The year quickly passes a11d the ship docks at lsle Vacation 1915. Again in September the weatherbeaten ship is greeted with delight by the returning sailors. XVith Mr. Matteson and Miss Parker in command, the journey bids fair to be a profitable and enjoyable one. Many are the new activities on board ship this golden year. XYork? Ah, yes, but much pleas- ure, too. The girls find joy in the new cooking and sewing classes. Basket- ball absorbs the boysl spare time. ln February comes a play, The Fortune Hunter, and in June another success, Under Fire. liy the end of June the tired sailors view with delight the approaching Isle of Vacation 1916. Now strike your sails, ye jolly mariners, For we be come unto a quiet road lYhere we must land some of our passengers, And light this weary vessel of her load. Here she a while may make her safe abode, Till she. repaired. have her tackles spent, And wants supplied, and then again abroad On the long voyage whereto she is bent XVell may be speed and finish her intent. The last year has come. The happy refrain rings in the hearts of each sailor as, travel worn, he climbs once more on the old ship. XYork under the supervision of Captain Adams and Officers Feldkamp and Dennis seems lighter to each one because of the thrill of expectation. An All Girls' Show is rivaled by The All Boys' Show later in the season. The Pipe of Peaeey' and Zaragueta prove that real talent has developed among the sailors. Now it is June. The warm air sends a thrill of hope through all. Now a faint line on the horizon gives the first glimpse of the goal toward which all have been striving since the voyage began, The Land of Dreams Come True. Xearer, nearer it draws. As the ship turns into the harbor the sailors gather on the deck.

This made me think of my school days and I began to wonder, as often before, what had become of my classmates of 1917. The soft wind blew, a nightingale sang in the woods, and before I knew it, I heard myself saying drowsily, I won- der if the stars could tell me. Then I heard the nightingale say, 'lIf you really want to know what they are doing, follow me. VVhat a singular thing! I thought, but rose and followed. I have no idea how far we went, but it seeemd that I had become a child again, and that we were in the depths of a dark forest. As we walked, I heard a sigh, and asked the nightingale who was in distress. 'lille are on our way to the Land of Success, she replied, and we are now passing through the doleful Land of Failure. Many reach the Land of Success through Failure, some reach it by the Roads of Hard X'Vork and Perseverance, and others enter through the Gardens of Special Talent and the Efforts of Others. But, however he reaches Success, no one is allowed to remain unless he is worthy. I should have liked to hear more, but we had entered a hollow tree and were going down, down, down a winding stair, and the nightingale was silent. Wlhen we reached the bottom, we were in a pleasant land, and far in the distance I could discern the towers of a magnihcent palace. Wie con- tinued until we reached it. Through doors opening on the numerous bal- conies, music and laughter floated. l'This is Happy Palace, our Queen's home, explained the nightingale as we entered. The staircases and corridors were of marble, and magnifi- cent chandeliers of many-colored glass illuminated the room. Through halls and passages we came to what I judged to be the throne-room. 'lYou are now to see our Queen Success, but do not be afraid, for though she is wise and stern, she is also just and kind. Vtfith these assuring words, the bird left me, and I entered. The room was in rose and gold. There were many ladies and gentlemen in handsome costumes of soft colors, and in the midst, upon her throne, sat Success. Her golden hair formed a crown about her head and her sincere gray eyes smiled upon me as I bowed low before her, kissing her hand. All the company seemed happy. They were talking interestedly to- gether, and on the verandah there was dancing to dreamy music. People moved in and out. I was a little awed at the unexpected scene, and sat quietly in a corner near the throne. After watching the merriment for some time, my attention was called to a little girl, with short, black curls and pretty blue eyes. She was the gayest of all, and everyone seemed to love her. I was so attracted to her that my eyes followed her wherever she went, and when she came close to me, I rose and took her hand. Oh, won't you please talk to me ? I askedg 'II am a stranger and lonelyfl The girl did not draw away or pass on, but smiled such a sweet under- standing smile that I loved her immediately. I should like to talk to you very much,'l she said, and if you would like to hear, I will tell you all about this Land of Successf, So we sat by the side of the throne, and I heard remarkable things. All day long, Success and her assistants travel through the world, watching and aiding those who strive. Success is invisible, so that none can tell when they are observed by her. No one is too signihcant for her notice, if he does as she prescribes. It makes no difference if he be the 40 poorest and lowliest of mankind. What he does matters nothing to our Queen, but how he does it. XYhen a person meets her requirements, she showers upon him that for which he strives, whether it be riches, fame, posi- tion, happiness or love. And when the weary day is over, she and all her people come to Happy Palace, where are no cares, but next day they cannot remember what happened here, except as in a dream, and go upon their daily tasks, to return again the next night. The next morning we went out together, and I will tell all I saw, but briefly, for just as I would become interested in a scene or aspect of life, it would disappear and we would be in entirely different surroundings. XVhen the Land of Success vanished from our sight, we were in a hos- pital ward with sick children all about. About one bed, anxious nurses clustered, and I knew they were fighting for a little life. A mother grasped the arm of the head nurse, Ella Bacon, and said, 'fVVill he live ? The nurse answered, HI hope so. Two other white-garbed figures, Ella Derndt and Ruth Snyder, hovered near, waiting for the crisis. the doctor, Donald Ros- siter, reserved, but anxious, watched the breath of the child. At last the little one turned his head and opened his eyes. The doctor smiled and spoke to the mother reassuringly. Now the, hospital had disappeared, and we were in the slums of a large city. Children were swarming everywhere, In one, the most miserable tenement of all, hope abounded. A tired woman and her many children smiled as they thanked their benefactresses. And all of us here in Roseland Court are to move into the new buildings and have flowers of our own? Oh, Miss Marquiss and Miss Cuneo, you are angels of mercy, and your names will never be forgotten for the good you have done. Now we were in a school building where we found Marguerite Larson teaching a blind girl to read. In other rooms Edna Miller was explaining the intricacies of plane geometry, Ruth Rundall was teaching the beauty of color and form, and Ida Koppel was showing how to bake light and tooth- some bread. The scene changed, we were in a crowded hall. Jean Toliver was talking against the evils of child labor. The speaker was earnest and elo- quent, and the audience most enthusiastic. Again we found ourselves in a large, brilliantly lighted room, where a dinner party was in progress. The hostess, Olga Muench, was speaking to her right-hand neighbor, Clara Ives. I caught bits of the conversation. Have you heard that Hazel Ericson left yesterday for her long-planned cruise of the Mediterranean F f'Shall you be at the coming out party, tomorrow evening, of Pearl Schuenemann's lovely daughter? f'I'Iave you seen the wonderful new home on Lake Shore Drive of Ed- mond Siebert and his wife, Rose? It was designed and all the interior deco- rating done by Julius Wfinkler. They say it is the most beautiful in the city. The gay company disappeared. XVe were in a quiet room, where a woman wrote intently at a desk. As she looked up we recognized Fern Green. She was writing a book on Nature Study. The next change was to an artist's studio. A woman in an enveloping apron was absorbed in her work on the delicate face of a girl. Do look, Alice, she cried, f'I've ruined her nose, No, you haven'tf' said Alice Iieyerg Irene Shurr, this portrait will be your crowning glory. A library opened before us. 'KI would like a book on Babylonian antiqui- ties, said Esther 'XVeinberg. I have completed my survey of Egyptian art. The librarian smiled patiently, and I recognized Gladys Bervey. Wie were next in a large theatre. A fair-haired woman was singing in a voice of exquisite sweetness. It was Marguerite Erickson. The audience listened, inspired. But then it seemed as if the voice changedg it was now 4l the wailing of a violin. I looked again. Rudolph Guth was playing, while people held their breath and dreamed of things that had passed and of things that were to come. As it ceased, three fairy figures appeared. They seemed the personihcation of airy grace. The central dancer was Bernice Jacobs, and on either side were Harriet Sideman and Lillian Glasser. Vvhat beautiful music! The piano never gave forth finer harmony than Pauline Marguerite was calling from it. Now all was silent. A drama was being enacted. People leaned forward with tear-dimmed eyes-the leading woman held them all by the beauty of her voice. Those melodious tones belonged to no one but Lottie lVarshawer. Then the theatre was gone. XVC were in a crow,d watching a race track on which were speeding racing cars of masterful build. People gasped -an accident? No. he has gained by the maneuver. He wins, he is Carol Rosaire, the driver of the French Peugeot car, at a speed of 105 miles an hour. Another change-everything is quiet. Wie are in a bed-room. Ilefore the hre sits a mother telling her children a story. Now climb into your little white beds, she says, and kisses each goodnight. Then she goes to the window, and as she raises her beautiful eyes, I almost say aloud, Helen Larson' Now we are among fields of wheat, oats and barley. From a rise of ground the master of the place views it with satisfaction. Ile has come to the great Canadian northwest and found it good. He is Vincent Bender. Another change. lYe are in a world of hurry and risks, a broker's office. Two typists, Ruth Sheuer and Linnea Larson, work with speed and accu- racy. As the broker, Max Simon, speaks of the day's market, we change. Vie are on the site of an enormous aqueduct. stretching ninety-three miles to carry water to a distant city. It has just been completed by the renowned mechanical engineer, George Schneidenback. A quiet sitting room opens before us. Mabel Larson sews on the dress of her daughter. who is about to graduate. lYe see also the happy homes of Esmeralda Dunlap, Ida Pauli and Marie Hannon. Now the scene is a designers shop. I must have something new and odd, says a carefully gowned woman, Vivian Freiman. You have always pleased me, Miss Steely, For this event. I want something better than ever beforef' Cornelia assents. You shall have my best effortsf' she says. A different outlook. Here is a church, a minister. llialter Schneck, with his congregation. He is speaking of the meritorious work in the Philippines of the famous missionary, Lolita Linn. Next we hnd ourselves in a governors officeg it is free from cigar smoke because the governor is a woman, Esther Estep, She is talking with her friend, Catherine Halsted, the mayor of the city. They speak of the act to abolish capital punishment, which the congressman. Howard llauernfeind, has brought forward. They have been discussing the appointment to a brigadier- generalship of an old-time friend, Harold Diem. Again we are in a crowd. XVe are at a Chautauqua performance, listen- ing to a reading by a woman of note, Ruth liioyer. Ardylle -lanson,,an active Red Cross worker, speaks. Gertrude Rice, an eminent public speaker. discusses interesting problems of the day. lVe are on the street. I pass a publisher's shop with an array of books in the window. Erma Cables name catches my attention on a book cover, and I read, Felicia Gale, by Erma Cable. llie now behold another scene of confusion-a city editor's office. Hlliss Deemlm Julius Gordon, the editor, calls. XYill you take that forgery case? Get the copy in tonight, if possible. Ah! Miss Peterson, back in time. Here, boy, down to the press roomf! lVe are in a prosperous neighborhood. Eine houses line each side of the street. One bystander remarks to another.

One of the 'll7rofs is conversing with co-eds. She laughs with them. XYl1at strange conduct for a professor-but consider that the lady is Virginia Kemper, and it does not seem strange. A court room, the scene of a bitter verbal struggle, presents itself. The Jurymen withdraw-return. The foreman, Leo Simon, gives the de- cision in favor of the counsel for the defense. James Ilaglino. VK-Ie stand among the people who are watching the President of the N--- Bank as he steps from his Fierce-Arrow. Ilis name is Ralph Shellenburg.

XVe view in turn, the well-known tennis player, Anna Israel, the cham- pion swimmer and diver. Anne Stanger, and the celebrated aviator, Louise Meyer, who ascends 24,600 feet, and sometimes remains among the clouds for hours at a time. The office of a large hotel appears. The hotel detective, Irene XYitchell. has just recovered the valuable pearls of Fleanor Ilreitenstein, to that lady's great happiness, 'We stand before a vine-covered cottage by the side of an important highway. The rain pours in torrents, and an old man staggers along with a bundle upon his back. lYhen he reaches the little house he would SI1'll0'0'lC on, but the door opens and a woman appears, Come in, you poor old man, she says, Hdo not try to go on until the storm has passedf' 1 Pub After the storm the old man vroceeds, but first he savs, MI am not aoor . . l . - .

Ilut Gracie Knowlton replies, fhank you, sir, but let me live here, by the road-side, and be a friend to man, and I shall be more contented than if I had position and riehesfl Again we were in the courtyard of Happy Palace. I had seen much, but I could frame no words to express my thoughts. I passed the evening with Forgive, as I had the former one, realizing as it drew to a close how regret- fully I should soon leave Happy Ilalace. f'Oh, Forgivef' I exclaimed, I love you very dearly, and I shall never. never forget you. Forgive smiled sweetly and answered, 'fLittle mortal girl, do you remem- ber who brought you to the Land of Success ? VVhy, yes, a nightingalef' I answered. NVhen I tell you the nightingale's name was Forgive, you will know that I, too, shall remember you. It was I who brought you here. As I put my arms about her and kissed her, she grew smaller, I seemed to move slowly away, the Queen and her companions grew small and far away, they looked like-like-stars-why, they were stars. Yes, I was an old lady again, on the doorstep of my little gray house, watching the stars, and the soft wind was blowing ripples on the lake. 43 I I Sienugruplig 0115155 Hnmtinnal Gilman nf 1917 CLASS COLORS ..... ....

IVodika llabette Zernitz Hnratinnal Qlleum llliztnrg HERBERT HOWORKA On a bright, sunny day in September, 1915, we wended our way from xarious directions to the lValler High School, where, after receiving infor- mation concerning the various courses, we were assigned to division rooms. the prospective stenographers going to the rooms of Miss Bergey and Miss Cameron, while those who wished to study accounting entered Mrs. Doyle's room. Our hrst impressions were numerous and confused. lVe wondered whether we had chosen the right major, whether the teachers would be cross, and whether we would always find our way back to the division room, where we were beginning to feel at home. Wie were soon relieved of worry on this last point, as the tall form of Sidney Meyers identified our room, and we sim- ply followed the leader. Many of us had located a friend or two by this time, and before the week ended everything was running smoothly and we were beginning to enjoy the new work. It troubled us a little to be known as Freshmen, and some of us tried to show those supercilious upper class- men that we had rights which they must recognize, but, alas, our efforts in this direction were wasted. lVe joined the '6Lit, played basketball and de- bated, and the first lap in our race for knowledge was successfully passed. The second semester was mainly spent in learning how to make the cor- rect substitutions for such gems of oral expression as I ain't got any g in writing shorthand at the breakneck speed of forty words a minute, and in- dulging in the joyful labor of making trial balances and statements. VVe enjoyed the social side of school life much more during this semester than we had during the first five months. On becoming Sophomores we viewed the Freshman's lot from a new angle. and the delight which we took in watching his vain attempts to appear at ease and hide the look which plainly says: Behold, a Freshman! was in no way hampered by the remembrance of our former embarrassments. Some of our friends have asserted that, in the selection of class olhcers, we used advanced political methods, as the president, vice-president and sec- retary are all vocational pupilsg but of course we believe it was simply a case where the best candidates won. During our second year the majority of the class belonged to the l'Lit, but we did not make much impression on athletics, our eEorts being largely confined to rooting Our class boasts many talented members who contributed very gener- ously to our enjoyment during social periods, and 1 am sure that many times, on Friday afternoons, we shall wish that we were again taking part in the good times at llialler. XVe want to thank the glee clubs for practicing in Room 106, as the l'Little Chickeringu assisted uls greatly in tripping with a light fantastic toe during the lunch period. It was discovered during the last semester that one of the girls, Evelyn Dick, possessed an unsuspected gift for writing poetry, and we expected that she would Write the class history in verse, but unfortunately she was obliged to leave school, so we must express in plain prose our deep regret in parting from our companions and from the teachers whom we have learned to esteem so highly during the last two years. 45 STENOGRAPHY CLASS ODOV Nfl 'DNLL D V'l SS Hnmtinnal 0112155 Wrnphvrg My friends had urged me for weeks to take part in their favorite pas- time of crystal gazing, and I at last reluctantly consented to visit Madam liortunata, whose success was proclaimed far and wide. Little did I imag- ine that my first visit would reveal to me the present activities of my old classmates of ten years ago at the XValler High School. As I gazed at the crystal it became clouded, and then, to my astonishment, a familiar form appeared, and as Lila Carlson pirouetted across the globe, I understood With- out comment how great a success she had made of her chosen art. The tw scene changed to a ballroom where the instructors in fancy dancing were E 1 Minnie Schuetzner and Gertrude Kretlow. After this I saw a broker's office where, reading the tape with a gratified expression, was Herbert Howorka. He called the attention of his partner, Michael Citti, to the market records. ln a courtroom I saw Elizabeth Manz, a lawyer of prominence, arguing a case, and Lillian Decker and Gladys Swanson acting as court reporters, in another courtroom I recognized the reporters as Martha Bierstedt and Ce cilia Ilotthof. I saw many busy offices where my friends seemed indispen- sable: Lillian Gerber in a real estate office, Mildred Gusweiler, secretary to the mayor, Hazel Foster, in the Chicago postofficeg Liela Ballon and Edna Gurath, successful public stenographers, and Louise Homberg, manager of the employment department of the Underwood Typewriter Co. Another picture showed Evelyn Yliallin standing in the midst of a beautiful orchard whose apples and peaches have made her wealthy. One of her neighbors is Edwin Kurth, whose farm is considered a triumph in scientihc farming. I then discovered Benjamin Eeldman as a successful mining engineer, Albert Koch as a building contractor, and Garret Eowley, an architect. The scene shifted and a familiar looking schoolroom met my gaze, but the teacher-who was she? None other than Louise Snyder. I was not surprised, for I well remembered her speedy and accurate work in shorthand. Again a well-known spot, Room 304, and there, presiding over the Spanish class, was Tina Sternola. Other class rooms passed in quick succession, and I saw Alice Scliude, a kindergarten teacher, Elsie Iilinge. a cooking teacherg Pauline Malik, a gym teacher, and Elsie Seyfarth, a teacher of industrial history. The next group was engaged in social activities. Arline Hetzel, charm- ing as ever, was the center of an animated circle at an afternoon tea. Juanita Franck is a very skillful ventriloquist: Mildred Lange, Alfred Schwartz and John Christ are brilliant musicians. Ruth Van Meverden's marriage to a millionaire ranchman was an exciting event in society. Maud Rose and Elor- ence Schmidt are engaged in settlement work. A dressmaking establishment of great prominence has brought together many of our classmates. Carolina Ruhfel is one of its foreign buyers, Lil- lian Hentz and Gertrude Lieder, designers, Eileen Mclntyre and Margaret 48 Liebnow are in charge of the correspondence and accounting, and Gladys Dehlinger creates the artistic needlework which distinguishes the products of this establishment. Following this came Ralph Dahl, manager of the XYhite Soxg Adelaide IYolf, a swimmer and diver who rivals Annette Kellerman: Marie Lingen- felder and Bertha Hansen, who are ardent advocates of woman's suffrage. and who are working earnestly to convert the few eastern states who have not as yet seen the light. Lillian Beam has inherited a fortune and is pre- paring to make a trip around the world, and Margaret Blain, who has re- cently married, is enjoying her honeymoon in the Ilawaiian Islands. The crystal showed others who have offered their service to their country. Joseph Curtis is a senator from Montana, and Margaret Mctirath represents the Third Congressional District of Illinois in the House of Representatives. Manuel W'odica is commander of a dreadnaughtg Lester Lundell is a private in the Lf S. armyg XYalter Stift a recruiting officer, and Lillian Greenwood. Vera Pearson, Caroline Blaschko and Frieda XYassman are Red Cross nurses. Gertrude Schiefer is an aviatrix in the service of the United States. All of our friends. however, are not engaged in public life: domestic duties have claimed a few of them. I discovered Mildred Umenhofer mak- ing tempting looking doughnuts which I am sure were not all for herself. Babette Zernitz was rocking a beautiful little girl to sleep. Leana Sylvestri presided over a very modern looking kiteheng and Ida Golden, Idabelle Reed, Irene Root and Della Doyle were engaged in a variety of duties which pro- claimed them busy housewives. I heartily thanked my friends for introducing me to the delights of crys- tal gazing, and I have made plans for early meetings with many of my dear classmates. xx 'A 4- TE.. T! i . 5 .

Un the YELLOW' AND BLUE stall we are represented by Alexander Rogers, who is also president of our class. Adelaide Leblanc is class vice-president and Edna Siebert secretary. XYe are about to become Senior-Seniors, and enter upon the home stretch of high school life. The struggle has not been all work or all amusement. but it has produced efficient classes in the school. XVe should feel a pang of sorrow if we should not continue our activities. but we shall never lose our interest in athletics, literary work or social activities. A few of the boys of our class have joined the military training class. Since the boys are in the minority, these few deserve double credit for up- holding the honor of the Junior-Senior Class. ln athletics we are repre- sented by lValter Schneck, who was a member of the lightweight basket ball tive, and is now serving' on the baseball nine. At one social hour we were invited by Mrs, Feldkamp into the Biology laboratory. where we were entertained by the Misses Boyer and Jacobs, and Mr. Harold Ayres, who played the violin for us, after which we had ice cream and cake. XYe must all agree that our experience as junior-Seniors has been an enjoyable one, made more so by the hearty co-operation of Mrs. Dennis. 50 'N lffij Tw Q f S 5 j M325 A X W ! kwrl 'B 5 1 L-ij - , HISTORY I F. , I JUNE E5 Hluninr Cillzxss Gbffiners l MERRILL CLARK MARY PUGH JOHN HOOPLE 0112155 4 iaatnrg On Friday afternon, February 23, the Junior Class elected the following officers: President-John H oople.

Some of the students have failed and will retain the name of Sophomores, while others have gone safely through the examinations and shall assume the name of juniors. The Sophomires elected as their officers: President--Lester Briede. Secretary-Mildred Umenhofer, Bernard Felbinger was elected Vice-President, but later he left school and no other Vice-President was electd. Some of our boys were so fortunate as to become members of the athletic teams, A number of the girls took part in entertainments given by the so- cieties of the school, and have helped to make our social periods very inter- esting. Our social periods were spent sometimes in the hall, where we were de-- lightfully entertained by the upper classmen, and sometimes in our own rooms, when we furnished the programs. The debating team of Room lO2 defeated Room lO6, after which Room 110 defeated lO2. lYe hope Success will favor the coming Sophoinores just as she has done in the past. 53 . 7' N 4 fmsi 4 Nf .rl g ffif E M ,m ,' N I! - f x Q b X ff!! t 1 v X 9 j EUC! ILE Cvur C l Qllarss 0Dffirm's I ' J. LAWRENCE A. BROELL R. SIEMUND 54 K 0115155 Qllisiurg At the beginning of the semester the lfreshman class elected its officers. The successful candidates were: R. XY. Siemund, Presidentg A. liroell Vice-President, tl. O. Lawrence, Secretary. The first meeting was held in our most spacious and elaborate assembly hall, on March 2, 1917, where inaugural addresses of the newly-elected offi- cers were given. The first number on the program was a vocal solo by Mr. Clarence Dierks, a junior, whose talent we need not speak of. The second was a piano solo by Mr. llergstrasser, whose only rival in the musical world is Mr. Paderewski. A play written by Mr. Blount followed. The title of this play is A Fool for His Doctor. Next was a piano solo by Miss Hen- derson, another of our talented musicians. Last, but not least, was another play written by Mr. Blount entitled At Camp Canoe, or .-Xrtiticial Respira- tionfl This was the close of the program, and every one left the hall happy and contented and eager for the next program to arrive. During the interval which followed this meeting, military training was introduced in the high schools. There are a great many freshmen represent- ing our school in this enterprise. A The second meeting of the Freshman Class was held in the gymnasium on Monday, April 16, 1917. This time the freshmen were entertained by something unusual, a gymnastic exhibition. Many excellent dances were given by the girls, who were instructed by Miss Yenl. A group of boys gave a preparedness drill which showed the stuff our boys are made of. Mr. Ger- 1ieh's fifth hour gym class also gave an exhibition of their work. This was followed by a Hag drill by the girls. The program ended with the singing of the 'iStar Spangled Banner. The war of intellect started at the beginning of this semester in the way of debating. There were many Freshmen armies on the field. The Fresh- men champions of the year 1917 were R. XV. Siemund and 0. Lawrence, of 304. The third meeting of the Freshman Class was held in our assembly hall on May 11, 1917. President Siemund presided. The first number on the program was a violin solo by Raymond Nelson. Mr. Nelson's talent is un- rivaled. Next came some songs by seven of our most eloquent singers, Louise Anson, Hilda Bryant, Lillian Gordan, Dorothy Ilealy, Lillian james, julia Petrass and Mae Smith. The last was a comediette entitled Her Only Fault. The cast consisted of five of our most competent actors and ac- tresses. They were as follows: Dr. Strand, Joel Jacobs: Mrs. Strand, Mar- guerite Thompsong Uncle lchabod Bliffer, Eugene Hellerg and Kitty. the maid, Hazel Schneider. This ends our semester. 55 v ll till ' Ellyn Mawr By Rudolph Guth I want you to be mine forever. Esther, pleaded lIenry Pierce, with a look in his eyes that no girl ever mistakes. The girl sat amazed at this sudden outburst of feeling. She tried to think, but the music mingled with happy laughter from the adjoining room made her nervous. It was the big night of the year, the informal dance and entertainment given by the graduating class ot the Lfmversity of ----. Esther had looked forward to it-she had always enjoyed such affairs-and now- Esther Caswell was somewhat of an idol at -1. Having the ability to make friends and retain them. an all-around athlete, and awaiting the for- tune made by her father during the Russo-japanese war, she stood out like a goddess against the background of plain. common girls. She received many proposals of marriage, but treated them all lightly because of the common- place, ordinary methods of the commonplace, ordinary candidates. llut this was different. Henry was so sincere in his simple declaration, and she had always thought so much more of him than of the other boys, that a flat refusal would not do. She turned, looked deeply into his eyes, and after a short pause began nervously. Henry Pierce. we've known each other for four years, and we've been friends. You have been what we ordinarily call a success at college. You have won laurels on the gridiron, diamond, track, and in every possible line of athletics. You have kept yourself afloat in your studies, and on most occa- sions have displayed common sense. And you have friends, Henry, friends and moneyg and you come from a distinguished family. I believe that covers the inventory, except that you've paid a little more attention to me than to the other girls. Now to the point. Do you feel justified in suggesting mar- riage to a girl on these grounds? A lot of individual glory for athletic feats, a common college education, money, and nothing else? Besides, you're twen- ty-two, and do not know your own mind. But, Esther- l Let me Hnish. Yours is the only proposal I consider seriously, except one made earlier in the evening- VVho is my rival, Esther? I want to know what I'm up against if there is even a glimmer of a chance. And what would you demand of me, to con- sider me more seriously? 56 'fYou could never guessg but it's only fair that you should know. It's a perfect duplicate of the Priscilla case. Esther, you don't mean-? Jack Gilbert himself. And why not? Has he not the same right and as good grounds, if not better, than yourself? Even though he is not crowned with athletic laurels, has he not received the gold medal for scholarship every year he's been here? And have not his essays been published in the leading magazines? Does not his knowledge of international law balance every letter and medal you have received for athletics? On tl1e whole, I think he's just as eligible as you are. But 1ny best friend, groaned Ifenry. Could he not see ? HNO. No more than you could. Ile was as ignorant of your intentions as you were of his. But, as I regard you both as my friends. and your pro- posals as serious, I have a little plan which will give you both an equal chance. :Iack's not here now, but call on me at four to-morrow, and l'll lay the plan before both of you. Let's go now: we've stayed away too long already. Oh. here's Mr. Smith looking for mefy Good evening. Miss Caswell! Ilello, llenry I greeted a clean-cut young fellow pleasantly. It's our dance. I believef, Henry Pierce did not sleep that night. Ile was thinking over what had been said that evening and trying to guess Esther's plan. .Iack's rivalry troubled him. jack had been his closest friend during their four years at college, and now. when they were about to part, a difference between them might prove fatal. Ilut he depended upon Esther to patch up the difference, and, recitations over, he impatiently awaited the appointed hour. He called for jack on his way to Esther's and they entered her house promptly at four. Esther was accommodating. t'I.et's not waste wordsfl she said. for I can imagine how you both feel. I wrote a note to jack. you know Ito Henryj, explaining all. Yes, relieve our anxiety. said -lack in his usual calm manner. X-Vell, here's the whole thing in a nutshell, started Esther. XVe're all young. Jack's twenty-three. Henry twenty-two, and I'm nineteen. 'l'here's time for marriage, and this time-say five years--you boys can use to show what stuff you're made of. The one that does more for his country, humanity the world, will have the right to my hand. Meanwhile. you are not to com- municate in any way with each other, and I'n1 to be sole judge. You are not to write to me, nor tell others to tell me about you. I agree to read every report of your conduct made in every English newspaper or magazine-these articles to be cut out and forwarded to me by special agents. If at the end of tive years neither of you has done any great thing for humanity. I reserve the right to accept some other proposal. Ilave I made myself understood ? r The two young men stood immovable and attentive during the entire speech. XVhen she had Finished, they were so stupehed, so bewildered by this plan that they could not immediately answer. -Iack came to the rescue, how- ever, and in his calm tone demanded, Hut why all suspension of friendship? How can we in any way hurt each other's chances by mere correspondence if we're away from each other? And are we not likely to forget in five years the object of our love ? I It's all a matter of fair play and a test of your hdelityf' answered Esther. You're not compelled to do it: but if you desire to win me you must do as I have stated. I have thought the whole thing over, and these terms, I think, are pretty reasonable. 'AI agree to the terms, said Jack. flow about you, Henry? 57 1 do, too. exclaimed llenry hurriedly. lt all sounds peculiar, thoughg it reminds me of the Middle Age romances which l read so much when younger. lint it's a game with the same rules for bothg so l'm going to play it.'7 I thought it would strike you that way, said Esther. And you, lack, what do you think of it? lYell, said Jack, thinking' deeply, uit simply presents another problem to my mind-the problem called 'womanf Your plan is ingenious, with equal chances for both of us: but l'm not going to, play the game blindly simply to gain points: l'm going to resort to strategy, find out what a woman thinks benefits the world most, and do that thing well. 1 say that so that Henry may do the same and have an equal chance with me. Esther and Henry laughed heartily. After a short time they all took leave of each other, promising' to live up to the terms of the agreement. Extracts from Esther's diary will best serve to describe the outcome of this farce. Alay, 1913. llook on f'lYoman and Her Yiewsf' by .lack Gilbert.

One was on crutches, a wooden leg suggesting' his possible fate had the shell exploded a little nearer to him. The other was to all appearances in good healthg he seemed thoughtful, and did not hurry. They met on the stairway, looked at each other, both started, but did not utter a sound. A servant answered the bell. Miss Caswell at home F asked the man on crutches, whom the reader may have recognized as Henry Pierce. Step right in, answered the servant, she's waiting. lioth men entered. A lovelv woman of some twenty-four years came forward to meet them, smilinglyf NX'elcome, Black! Vtielcome, Henry! she exclaimed, extending both hands. You've both done wonderfully. First greet each other, however: 1' give you permission. The two men advanced toward each other. looked into each other's eyes, and fell into each other's arms: HenryY jackl was all that could be heard. Esther turned away to hide her tears. 4'Such loyaltyfl she whispered. And 1 cannot use it. After the rather warm greeting the two friends turned towards Esther. 58 llc await your verdict, listherf' said black, advancing a step nearer. I have worked hard, using' every bit of initiative in my body and soul to benefit the world and please you: and so has llenry. for I have read the glowing' accounts of his deeds. .Xnd it almost broke our hearts to abide by your terms. Ifor over a year we have both been members of the National Defense Iloard. where we sat side by side at conferences and never dared look at each other for fear we would forget ourselves and embrace. I tell you it was torture. and whoever gets the reward deserves it. Esther looked at both of them with a look that expressed love, sorrow and remorse. Then she spoke: Bly friends, it was superhuman. I never knew that one woman could inspire men to do as you have done and I am proud-proud of you and proud of myself. To think that I partly inspired those books, those wonderful ideas, and your great invention and the plan of ending the war. Henry. it is marvelous: and you surely deserve your reward, but it is impossible for you to get it here. Henry and Jack stared at each other in amazement. This sounded like madness. Esther went on: Soon after you left me, signs of the family disease began to show themselves in me. Consumption, which carried away my parents and 1ny grandparents, has. in spite of all precautions. conquered me. I struggled, called in the ablest physicians. but in vain. I've lived five long years, with one thing to live for-to watch you two friends work, watch your uneeasing activity. I was glad that. alt-hough I could do nothing, I was the partial cause for your unceasing' labor in well-doing: I did not notify you because I feared I might discourage you. So here we are to-day. three warm friends, our dreams shattered, but your life work so well started. that. were I called upon to decide which did more for the world, I could not tell. I expected things not half so great. and am more than satisfied. Tears shone in the eyes of l-Ienry and jack. Yes, our dream is shat- teredf' spoke Henry, but let us face the future with brave hearts, knowing that all is from Him. My work calls me, duty calls. my country-the world. There is work to be done and I am going' to use every ounce of strength to do it wellg you will be my inspiration as you have been heretofore. And we are friends, are we not ? Jack spoke: HHenry is right. Duty calls. and I shall answer faithfully. My work is laid out for me, and until the last moment I mean to use my best efforts for my country. In you we found an inspiration. which will never grow less- I7arewell, Esther. XYe are friends forever. . In 511' fe fu . In 'W I 1 'Q B 9 7 5 59 Ihr 3 lixvr nf Eifr ll. Lubelsky. IVhile my brother and I were traveling in the mountains of the Vvest, we were overtaken by one of those sudden storms that are so prevalent in that section of this country, and were forced to take refuge in a small building which resembled a barn in appearance, but which was designated by the pre- tentious name of The House of the Hells. We decided to enter, and after drying our clothes we edged near a blaz- ing fireplace where were seated a motley collection of humanity. As is usual in such places, the people were discussing subjects that were far beyond their comprehension, but upon which every one had an opinion. They introduced subject after subject, discussing the pros and cons of each, until finally they came to the subject of The Elixir of Life. One of the tavern philosophers was confident that the Elixir of Life was an idle dream of idle dreamers, while another was quite as emphatic in his belief that such a marvel was not only possible but highly probable. There was one old, gray-haired man who was drinking rather heavily. seemingly forgetful of his surroundings and uninterested in all the topics of conversation until the question of the elixir came up. He then broke into the conversaiton with a gruff Gentlemen I which, uttered as it was out of seeming space, in a low voice, yet with a deep growl, startled every one, and we all waited for him to go on. ' f'Gentlemen, he continued, if you wish, I will relate to you what I dis- covered concerning the very theme of your discussion while on a trip to Francefl Naturally we were all only too willing to hear him, for his venerable appearance, his peculiar dress, his gruff voice, his nervous actions, and his seeming anxiety to speak on the subject all aroused our curiosity. He commenced his story as follows: Gentlemen, while traveling thru France I had occasion to visit a small garret in one of the finest houses in Paris, and there I found a laboratory, fully equipped with modern appli- ances. I also found the story of a man who was unlucky enough to discover the Elixir of Life. I will read the story to you. He took a parchment from his pocket, and in the almost unearthly still- ness, with a voice shaking with emotion and with eyes sparkling. he read the following: I was born in the best of homes, the son of the best of parents, blessed with a loving mother and an indulgent father, with every wish gratified, and every precaution for my welfare taken. ln such surroundings any one should have been happy, but l was cursed with one of those inquiring natures that wishes to know the why and wherefore of everything. One subject, how- ever, occupied my mind more than any other, 'XYhy do people die?' Oh, how I pondered over that question! Age didn't change meg that one question con- stantly occupied my mind, and when I became twenty I was even more unsatisfied with the answers that people gave me than when I was a child. I couldn't see how people worked day after day striving for money or for a reputation, only to have death take them away before they could reap the harvest of their work. From considering death as an unnecessary thing to trying to find a remedy for it was only one step. I decided to try to discover the Elixir of Life. Day after day, night after night. I worked, shunning society, getting 60 paler and more wrinkled each day, until at twenty-Eve I was an old man appearance. And then a change came into my life. 'NYhile walking down the Roule- vard I met 'Her.' XYhy describe ber, why tell of her beauty, of her form, of that something that sent the warm blood trickling thru my veins? I loved her. I followed her home into the garden. I. who had shunned society. who had thought of nothing but my work. I tolfl her of my love, but when she saw my wrinkled features, she laughed, laughed as she would at a clown at a circus. I felt my head burning, my feet sink under me, but somehow I managed to drag myself to my room. I'Oh! the horrors of that night! Oh! how my head burned while my body was cold, oh, so cold! I can see them now, there! Look! those little men. those dwarfs, can't you see them pointing their fingers at me. mocking me, laughing at me? Oh! how parched my throat was! Finally I fell asleep, but my sleep was disturbed. One old man kept poking his fingers at me and telling me, 'Kill her, and use her blood in the compound you already have, and you will have the long-sought-for elixir of life.' I awoke with a start, cold beads of perspiration were on my fevered brow. I pondered and pondered. Should I take this step? Finally I decided That I would. I could save a million lives by sacrificing one, besides, she had aughed,-her laughter still rankled in my breast. The next day the newspapers had a long story of her death: but in my room I sat. fearless of consequences, for my elixir was successful. Oh, how happy I felt! At last the world could use this wonderful remedy for death, but then, why should I give the world the benefit of my work? It had not helped me, it had only laughed at me. I drank the elixir and then I broke the bottle. For some time afterwards I traveled around, happy in the thought that my life was eternal. liut there was one thing that could not be left behind, the thought of her lying there dead. At first it was just a thought, but soon I could see her image before me, pleading with me to let her live. I tried to drive her image away, but no matter how fast or how far I went she was there. I could stand it no longer. so I tried to drive it away by intoxication, by dulling my mental powers, but all to no availg the drunkard's images were even more horrid than those of a sane man. I gradually fell into the drink habit until I became a confirmed toper, a butt for the children and horror for all people. I felt my mind wandering and I prayed for the day that it would become entirely blank: but. altho it played me many queer tricks. it was still there, and so was that awful image. I hoped that I could die. I looked at the people around me and envied them, for they were mortal. l began to feel that death after a successful life is like the rain after a hot day, cooling and refreshing the people. But I cannot die. I must wander, wander, wander, haunted by that image that makes my life a hell on earth. He finished reading this incoherent and incredible parchment. XYe could hear the rain on the window, the sound or rumbling thunder. and see the fiashing of lightning. The wild storm, the desolate place, the strangers ex- pression as he read the insane story, all filled us with nameless dread. I looked at the old man, his sharp sparkling eyes, his seeming age, his steady drinking, and thought-- But my thoughts were interrupted by the rough voice of the landlord announcing, Your rooms are ready, gentlemen. 61 F5 Ggffire 12 nie iterarg 51: EL VERONICA CUNEO DONALD ROSSITER GEORGE SCHNEIDENBACH ESTHER LSTEP B 42 I th nz 4 B E I- 1- O .1 Q Ld 1- ln .-l fc I Ld E aC un :: f- fi u rn cn O U 4 -m m Q z nc ua an l 0 D 0 5 gf 5, 4, - 1 A, 'Ax if Y -f - 1 , '4' . Again the Lit makes its appearance before the stuclents of XYaller, to claim its meecl of creclit for its activities during the past semester. lYhatever success it has attainecl is not clue to any one person or factor, but to the co-operation of faculty representatives. officers. members ancl well- wishers. The Membership Committee Chairman, Miss Fstep, performed an ex- ceptional feat of salesmanship through her personal work and the manage- ment of her suborclinates, in the sale of the six hunclrecl tickets within the first three weeks of the semester. In the matter of programs, the Lit has acquittecl itself especially well, staging a hit at every appearance. As Extemporaneous Speaking was successful in its initial experiment in 1913. so it was in its continuance, in 1917. Although the llebating Team met defeat in its single combat of this semester. North will try again to annex the laurels that are rightly hers. Two Declamation Tryouts, for boys and girls respectively, were heltl, anrl two inrlivicluals chosen to represent N.

The President, Miss Halsted, delivered a welcome address, which was followed by committee sketches. Gn February 21 a Valentines' Day program was presented, featuring dances, songs and a playlet entitled '5Our Ministerls Bride. This event was capped by an original poem contest. The girls having previously displayed the talent of their distinctive sex. an All-Boys, Show was prepared and laid before the approving eyes of the school on March l4. The entertainment consisted of a violin quartette, a monologue, minuet, whistling solo, fancy dance, and an amusing sketch. A suitable climax of the year's enjoyment was the Living Historical Pictures program, on April ll. ln it were depicted: The Landing of Columbus, The Marriage of Pocahontas, The Pilgrims Going to Church, The Surrender of Cornwallis, The Spirit of '76, The lnventor of Telegraphy. and Lincoln Reading the Emancipation Proclamation, introduced effectively by explanatory speeches. Those who have taken part in these programs, in addition to the officers, who directed, and sometimes participated in them, are: Misses M. Erickson. L. XYebster, V. flanks, E. Bacon. M. Ochsner, E.

DEBATING After meeting successfully the verbal onslaught of the Lane debaters last December, giving us a firmer hold on championship hopes, our teams went down to defeat with astonished Medill as the instrument. From the start it was a closely contested fight for supremacy on the great and vital question of the Abolishment of Capital Punishment. The Medill team, in upholding the afiirmative side of the issue, proved a shade superior, and thus were given the decision. As this was the one debate or the semester, and the one to be held at XYaller. needless to say. we were disappointed, but lYein- man and Saltiel deserve nothing of reproach. but words of highest commen- dation, for their earliest preparation and ardent delivery. EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING On March 28 a tryout for the Extemporaneous Speaking Team was held in the hall. Over twenty speakers. from whom the team was to be picked. responded to the call. The first honors were awarded to Bauernfeind, NVein- man taking second place, and Gordon, Pugh and Saltiel tying for third. Pugh and Saltiel withdrew in favor of Gordon. This able team represented North in a Triangular Meet with Medill and Lane as their opponents. The nine representatives spoke, and lValler was given the decision. This was, indeed, a triple victory in that, besides the glory of winning, we overpow- ered Lane, our rivals of long standing. and vanquished Medill, thus avenging ourselves for the last debate. This victory made N. D. eligible for the finals, which were held on April 5. VVe were less fortunate this time, however, taking second place between Phillips and McKinley. .64 NNVWNIEIM 'EIOHOEID Nocmoo snrlnf CINl'El:INH'Elf1V'H GHVAXOH NEIHGFIOD AIJVHJ.

The Girls' Declamation Contest, which was to take place February 16, was called off for lack of entries. This was a sad blow, both to the school and to Miss Jacobs, as she had attained near perfection through the practice of her selection. Harris, however, competed in an lnterscholastic Contest at Lane, and although he lost, some satisfac- tion was derived from the fact that one of the judges accorded him first place. THE ANNUAL PLAY .-Xs we go to press the Literary Society is about to give that long- awaited animal play. Green Stockings, and no doubt, by the time that this Annual is published, another great success will be added to NValler's list.

BUCKLEY R. BROELL K, FALLBACHER .68 THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION This has been a most successful and prosperous year for the Athletic Association. The membership reached three hundred and thirty-five, a mark which has not been touched by the A. .'X. for many years. The reason for this great increase in membership was that many pupils have just awakened to the benefits a member of the society receives, and to the fact that athletics could not exist at lYaller without this society. The officers for the past year were: George liuckleym-President. Kurt 1 allbacker-Yice- President. Rose-ll elen llroell-Secretary. This year the faculty representatives of the society were not elected by the members as in previous years. but were appointed by Mr. Adams, They are as follows: Miss Young f'Treasurerj, Miss Jones, Mr. Gerlich. Mr. Strauss. Last semester two plays were given by the 1-X. A.. a two-act Spanish play entitled Zaragueta and a one-act comedy, The l'ipe of Peace. Both plays wer e presented by an all-star cast. and are considered among the great- est dramatic achievements of the year. THE BANTAMWEIGHTS It is very unusual that the liantams come first in order here, as they do now, because the little fellows made a better showing than our basketball representatives of other weights. They attained third place in the League in games Won and lost and held the champions to a standstill in the farewell game, with only three Northmen on the tloor. But they didn't take the shield. That may require a little explanation. NYhen the semis were reached after a successful preliminary round, the tossers inaugurated a civil war, during which all but one of the lirst four semi-final combats were lost. Then differences were hastily patched up and the banties gained three decisive victories in a row, besides that practical win from Marshall. But the hrst half of the semi-hnal round finished them, as far as the championship was concerned. Discontent didn't help a bit. Briefly, their good work in behalf of the school was as follows: Preliminaries XValler. .. .... 18 Lake View . . . .10 Xvaller. . . .... 11 Senn ....... . . .13 lYaller. .. .... 26 Schurz ..... ... 7 XYaller. .. .... 22 Lake View . . .. .14 XYaller. . . .... 12 Senn ....... . . .13 Xllaller. .. . . 4 Schurz .. .. 9 Semifinals XYaller. .. .... 15 Senn ..... ...1S XYaller. .. .... 1O Harrison . .. .. .23 'xYaller. . . .... 19 Mclfinley . . . . .15 Xivaller. . . .. 6 Marshall . . . . .20 NYaller. .. .... 17 Senn ............ ...ll iYaller. . . .... 17 llarrison .......... . . 8 Xivaller. . . .... 2 McKinley fforfeitj .. . ..

Seaberg, forward, was noted for his gameness, and played an excellent game. 2' Anderson, the smallest man on tk team, earned his place at forward by tossing 'em in when they were nifeded. l'rendergast, who had considerable tfouble in keeping underweight, was the scrappy leader of the defense. -, Dahl played a good game at guard until his illness kept him out of the lineup. A Thorpe, captain-elect of the 1918 squad, came in very handily as guard. Shore's scrappiness at guard was largely responsible for the team's burst of speed in the semis. lfngelhardis tossing in the pinches helped us to several victories and at times he was really great. Rossiter, Gegan and Frantz had very few chances at the sport because of the crowded roster. THE HEAVYWEIGHTS The heayies had a very successful preliminary season, blanking all of their opponents and finishing the round with a perfect slate. ln the semi- final battle they met with stronger opposition and lost most of their games, including two taken by Lane. Lane, they say. worked twice as hard in her games with us as she did when she handed the championship to Xliendell llhillips, which may or may not be a consolation to us. Though Hoople's loss will be keenly felt, several veterans are left in school about whom a successful 1918 machine can be built.

Since last year he has lost no teeth, which is quite a record in itself. Schaufelberger featured his debut by jumping 'em in. and handled the hollow sphere with skill. 7l Ciieahgiueiglgi Eiizxslzeilxzxll Umm CLARK ZITTENFIELD PAGLINO fMgr.j SCHAUFELBERC-ER BAUERNFEIND HOOPLE fCap0 SCHNEIDENBACH 72 NYahlstrom's specialty lay in busting the ball at center, in which posi- tion he was quite capable. llauernfeind played a spirited game in whichever position he was placed. Schneidenbach, of the 1916 lightweights, played his special brand of scrappy game at guard. Rosaires defensive play just naturally won the plaudits of both friend and foe. V Clarke was always on hand in the winning plays. usually playing at fore ward. llarvey .lacobs and Loose were ready at all times to step into the gamc upon ulohnny's order. They did so on several occasions. THE LIGHTWEIGHTS The lights, sad to say, won but one game of their four league combats. They entered the fray with very many rookies on the roster who have gained sufficient experience during the season to put the team in the semis in 1018. At any rate. our hopes run fondly along that line. 1Ye attained one ambition when the bantams reached the semifinal round this year, and if the lights should do the same next year-ah, such a sweet dream! .Xs for this year, this is what the lights did: 1Yaller. .. ... 1 Schurz ... . .10 1Yaller... . . .17 llcliinley ,. . .10 1Yaller. .. .. 8 Schurz ... . .21 llvallcr. .. .. .12 Mclfinley .. ..16 The Squad Schloss. captain. played both guard and forward. and lead the team in scoring.

Levy's game at guard was a feature of the McKinley combat. lsenson played a good game in the defensive position. Feldman, captain-elect for next yean's squad, played guard in the last game at Mcliinley. TRACK Our well-meaning track squad was the real dyed-in-the-wool hard luck customer of the year. Every time they scheduled a dual or a triangular meet. an epidemic of measles for the fact that the opposition had enlisted in the armyl prevented the taking place of said meet. Such a state of affairs might have dampened the ardor of any ordinary track team, but the 1Yaller squad entered the annual interscholastic meet in Evanston. They netted Five points in the Senior division when Fitzgerald won the mile, and one-one- half for the juniors when liennett tied for second place in the high jump. The track team is an institution which should remain with the school hcre- alter. 73 lightweight Easkethall flaunt GUTH FELDMAN SCHNECK HARRIS fMgr.J LEVY SCHLOSS fCapt.j KLAWANS 74 ls. ffji if riff 255 ff ii' rigid .F -fs l U17 ' B C Umllzneouvt ...1:-:1- ZiZi3:51 : .

At various times during the past few years North has had a Girls' Glee Club, generally composed of Seniors, but they never have been very active. This year. however. a Girls' Cilee Club. under the leadership of Mrs. Doyle, and a Boys' Glee Club led by Miss Macl.ean, were organized. liach club met twice a week during' the fifth period. Following are the reports of the two clubs: WALLER BOYS' GLEE CLUB ' XYhen the call came to organize a lloys' tilee Club so many good singers responded that many had to be turned down. As soon as Miss MacLean had picked the club from the many applicants. work was begun. During' the short time the club has existed, it has afforded entertainment on many occasions, in school and out. On XYednesday, May lo, the crowning event of the semester, a minstrel show, was given in the assembly hall. .-Xn admission fee of ten cents was charged and the proceeds of the show went to make the club self-supporting. Sufhcient funds were raised by the show to pay the expenses of this year and the next. The members wish to extend a vote of thanks to Miss MacLean, whose emcient leadership and scrupulous work have guided the club to success. Tenor Bass First First Messrs.

XYhen it was announced that this club was to be organized. more than three hundred girls wished to join. A-Xs it was impos- sible to have that number, many were disappointed: we hope that they will be included next semester and will be able to enjoy the singing as much as We have for the past three months.

This an- swer implies that the trouble lies elsewhere, and that is just the case, for the student body of XYaller is to blame! First, it does not take enough interest to furnish a sufficient number of players. Second, it neglects to listen atten- tively to the selections. Third, it regards an orchestra of much less importance than an gained through athletics. Fourth, it criticises the playing and players of the orchestra. .Nu organization needs support, not continual criticism, so we hope that in the ensuing year the students of North Division will cheer for the orchestra as heartily as they cheer for other or- ganizations.

XValler High School: NYith the close of another semester it again becomes my privilege to submit to the faculty and students of this school a report of the work carried on by the YELLOW AND BLUE Staff during the past five months, The new staff chosen at the beginning of the semester was reduced from sixteen to ten members. The smaller staff was found to be much more efficient than the larger staff. A spirit of co-operation and harmony existed between the various members which did much toward making the semester a suc- cessful one for the YYELLOXV AND BLUE. As it was found that the English Supplement. which was published several times last semester, was not appreciated enough to warrant its pub- lication, the six-page issue was discontinued altogether and the standard size of the paper was four pages. In spite of the high prices and in spite of the fact that many other papers raised their prices, the YELLOW AND BLUE continued to be sold at one cent. The lively news Writeups of Eberman and Rossiter, the witty locals edited by Block, the reports and poems by Miss Kapp and the exquisite cartoons drawn by McNlurtry raised the standard of the paper to a height of excellence it has never before attained. The YELLOW' AND BLUE ANNUAL was published under many difficulties, the most important of these being the high prices caused by war times. As it was decided by the Faculty Advisory Board of the YELLOW AND BLUE that the price of the Annual should continue to be twenty-live cents, it was necessary to cut down expenses in every possible way. For this reason the number of pages was reduced, and all items not absolutely necessary were eliminated. ln closing, I wish to thank Mr. Strauss and the pupils in the art depart- ment who so kindly gave their time and labor and assisted the YELLOW AND BLUE in many instances: the staff, whose diligent work was never failing: the Faculty Advisory Board. whose wise counsel and aid has always guided the YELLOW AND BLUE to success, and every teacher and student who has given the YELLow AND BLUE his financial and moral support. -Julius Gordon, lfditor. 80 The 'Qnllnin mth Elglwz ,Staff JULIUS GORDON WALTER ADAMS LUCILLE KAPP DONALD ROSSITER RUDOLPH GUTH JOSEPH EBERMAN MARGARET RANDALL 81 nrih Einiainn Alumni Aaanriaiinn The North Division Alumni Association wishes to thank those members of the school who have faithfully supported the association, and hopes for still greater support from the Seniors who are graduating and who will un- doubtedly join. On April 28 a very enjoyable evening was afforded all who attended the Tlutler llouse entertainment. Some of our former school mates who have now become quite prominent in artistic circles, were kind enough to devote some of their valuable time to performing for us. Messrs. X'Viederhirn, lildred and Hallberg, so well known during their school days, astonished us by the wonderful progress they have made in their music. The musical selec- tions were certainly splendid and were exceedingly appropriate. Miss Anna Sughrua, member of the Chicago Xormal School faculty, pleased the audi- ence by doing some very unique and pretty dancing. To these performers we owe a great deal. for it is considered a special favor when people of their caliber display the talents with which they make their livelihood for a mere but grateful Thank youf, Mr. Albert Kunze and several others participated in an All Star Dra- matique which they worked up the last minute. A short sketch was sched- uled, but owing to the inability of two members of the cast to attend a suffi- cient number of rehearsals, it was impossible to produce it. Long live the class of l9ll! They have helped us out times without number. A large number of pupils have older brothers and sisters who are former pupils of North Division I-ligh School, and for the benefit of all we announce that on Tune 23, 1917, the annual North Division Alumni Association picnic will be held, at the usual place, XVilmette. The picnics hitherto have been sources of amusement and pleasure, and this year's promises to come up to standard. The beauties of the lake shore are adequate to compensate for your coming, to say nothing of the good time that the committee will have prepared for you. Come out and show those who have worked hard that their work has not been in vain. Your interest will serve a double purpose. Not only will it make the out-going administration and all who have aided them feel that thev are rewarded. but the in-going administration and all who are to aid them will take hold of things with a better spirit if you give them the inspiration to do so. I am sure that T express the sentiments of the President, Executive Com- mittee and Association members when I take this opportunity to thank Mr. Frle Gilbert for his efforts in behalf of the association. Mr. Gilbert worked hard to have the operetta The Belles of Cornvillev produced, yet very few responded to his urgent call for cast and chorus members. The last affair, in the hands of Mr. Gilbert and his committee, was well attended, so what- ever the fate of the operetta may have been, we all know that it was not the fault of the ones in charge. Mr. Gilbert's interest has been quiet, unobtru- sive and lasting. such as is not often found. To attempt fully to acknowledge and praise the unfailing work of our esteemed president, Mr. Alexander Marshall, would be folly. For two years the leadership of the North Division Alumni Association has been in his hands, and he has worked it up from a mere nothing to what it is today. The fi uits of his labor are not yet wholly ripe, but time will tell. If the associa- tion continues to exist it is because Mr. Marshall so ably led the way. If' the association does not continue to exist, it is certainly through no lack of effort on the part of Nr. Marshall. 82 Ellie awning Sham nf 1517 As reviews are all the go nowadays, and as we must Fill up space with something, we have decided after due consideration to intlict this short summary upon poor innocent you. In order to become even the least bit inter- ested in what I am about to say, it is necessary that you get your imagination into good working order, and then take a trip on the magic carpet of Bagdad back to the beginning of the semester.

Few realize that the Exchange Department is one of the most important parts of the school paper and carelessly pass it by, thinking that it does not count. Try to imagine the world if the newspaper told only the news of the single town where it is published while no news of the activities of the world ever went beyond the limits of the town. Each town would have to learn each step ot advancement by experience because it would not have the benefit of knowing where mistakes had been made or what methods have proved the best. Think of the drawback to our civilization if this were so. It is the same with the school paper. Through the Exchange Department we learn of new and better methods, and why certain attempts have succeeded or failed. The Exchange Department puts us in touch with the activities of other schools and therefore none should scorn it.
