Threatened serious pulmonary anfection compelled me to quit college about the middle of my course, and on the advice of physicians, l went to Minnesota in the spring of 1869, hoping that its bracing air might save my life. An entire stranger in the state, by accident, almost, I landed in lllue liarth County, where I spent most of that summer, canvassing for books. and as I grew stronger, worked on a farm near Garden City. A Teachers' Institute for that County was held there in the early fall of '69 County Superintendent Goff urged me to attend this and to take a school in that County that winter. This l did, teaching a four months' term in a log school house in the woods, some tive miles southeast of Mankato. ln March, 1870, I took a claim a little west of Three Lakes, and built myself a little shanty there, hauling the lumber all the way from lilue Earth County. That fall I returned to my old home in Illinois. two hundred miles southwest of Chicago, having been absent about eighteen months. much improved in health, but not cured. The spring of 1871 I returned to Cottonwood County, driving overland in a covered wagon, diag- onally from my old home in Illinois, across Iowa, being entirely alone. There was no railroad in Cottonwood County. nor was there any XYindom until late that summer or fall. I continued to keep l3achelor's Hall on my claim, breaking prairie and working all summer, going back to Blue Earth County for the winter. I had in- tended to teach school, but the early and severe winter prevented the completion of the new school house. and so there was no school in the district where I had expected to teach. I tutored the children in the home of a farmer, who boarded me all winter and kept my horses for my services. I put in the greater part of my time reading and in study that winter, and in the spring of 1872, returned to Cottonwood County. Late that fall I again returned to Illinois, to marry the girl I left he- hind me, and the following spring brought her back with me. VVe began keep- ing house in a dwelling eight by fourteen feet in size. I had been appointed county superintendent of schools of Cottonwood Coun- ty While in Illinois the previous winter. being notified of such appointment by County Auditor Sam. M. lispey. Wlhen I returned witl1 my wife that spring, I 7 entered upon the discharge of my duties, my office being in my little home on the farm. That summer, first came the grasshoppers from the southwest. and the most of my crop was eaten by them. This caused me to apply for the winter school at Wiindom. We had a Teachers' Institute early that fall for the four counties, Cot- tonwood, jackson, Nobles and Murray. It was held at XYindom, owing in part to is location, but more to the generosity and public spirit of the citizens of IVin- dom, who housed and fed the teachers attending the Institute free of charge. The school law required the County Superintendent to have a state teachers certificate from the state superintendent or president of the State University. At the close of the Institute State Superinendent H. B. VVilson handed me a first grade state certificate, without other examination than what he had seen of me during the institute. I was thus qualified to teach as well as to be county super- intendent. The school board decided on a four months' term, with two depart- ments, and employed Miss Imus to teach the primary and myself the higher de- partment, I to supervise both. The wages paid me were 340.00 per month, the primary teacher receiving something less. A new frame school house had just been built, with two rooms of the same size below, with a vestibule in front, and a large room above. The upper room was not finished, and was unused that winter. School opened in November. The branches taught were the three Risf' geography and ,Iinglish grammar, and I think one or two of my pupils studied elementary algebra. Wfe were very thorough in reading and arithmetic, but less so in geography and grammar. I had very little trouble with the pupils or their parents that winter, and I can not recall any incidents beyond the routine work of the school. At the close of the term I went back to the farm, There was a term of school the following sunnner, with one teacher only. I am not certain, but think Miss Imus was the teacher. I was urged to teach this school the next winter. but my health having steadily improved, I had determined to become a lawyer. and re- mained on the farm with my wife and baby. I borrowed some law books of my friend, Daniel Iluck, of Mankato, afterwards a judge of the supreme court of the state, and there began the study of law. The grasshoppers had hatched out in the spring of 1874, and did very great damage. I had no wheat or oats or garden, but I had a fine crop of corn. IVhen the hoppers got their wings. they migrated to the east, settling in the eastern part of Wiatowan. and parts of Blue Earth County. In the spring of 1875 I hired help. and put in quite a large acreage to wheat. oats and corn, and had great hopes of success as a farmer. On the fourth of july there was a grand celebration at VYindom. Great preparations were made. and the people were conhdent and happy. They attended the celebration in vast num- bers for the limited population. Ex-Governor Steven Miller was the orator of the day, and If read the Declaration of Independence. There was vocal and instru- mental patriotic music in abundance. It was. in fact, a time of jubilee, the people feeling that we were now rid of grasshoppers. On the tenth of july following. however, the hoppers came again. this time from the east. and in numbers many times greater than ever before. My crops were all destroyed, and the bottom went completely out of my determination to be a farmer. I had decided before this to fit myself for the bar. locate in XYindom, and keep my land west of Three I-akes. and be both a farmer and a lawyer. Knowing 8 that I would not get away that fall, I again applied for the school, and was en- gaged at the same wages as before for a tive months' term, with Miss Emma Chapel as primary teacher. There was no telling when I would get my pay, for school and county orders were already considerably below par. Nobody had any money except the money sharks, and they were slow about loaning it, even at thirty-six per cent interest. I had accumulated considerable personal property, and it took time to dispose of this, together with my horses, and besides, my time was not out as county sup- erintendent until the following spring. Notwithstanding the hard times and the poverty of most of the people, we had a much better school that winter than two years before when I taught. Many of the pupils were the same as then, but there were quite a number of new ones. .VVe had some interesting pupils in the school that winter. Two of Miss Chapel's sisters, young ladies. were in my room. One of them, Nellie, later be- came a teacher, as did also Eva Cook, Netta Sackett and Della Clark, I giving each of them certificates. There were also a number of large boys in the school, none of whom, however, as I recall, became teachers. The courses of study this winter were quite similar to those of the first winter. Many incidents took place in the school that would be interesting to relate, but time and space forbid. Most of these were amusing, but one was extremely sad, and caused a gloom not only over the school, but over the entire community. It was the death of VVill Steadman, the older brother of Frank. He was a fine boy, and well liked by every one. I helped to dig his grave. which was done mostly with a pick, as the ground was frozen to the very bottom of the grave. During the holidays we had a vacation, and I utilized this time to visit the country schools. Some of them were held in private houses, but there were a num- ber of fairly good school houses. Those in the northwest part of the county were among the best. In visiting these schools in the summer time, I usually rode on horseback, and remember once in july, '75, of riding twenty-five miles and back to visit two schools in the southwestern part of the county. One or two of the schools in the northwestern part of the county, among the Scandinavians, had out- line maps and an unabridged dictionary, and were quite up-to-date. A Vtihen I was appointed county superintendent, there were but ten schools in the county, but before my time was out they had increased to twenty-four. I do not believe I have forgotten a single pupil in my school at VVindom. A very warm attachment arose between the teacher and most of the pupils. I should like to mention every one of them by name, but space forbids. XYhen visiting Vtiindom and Cottonwood County last june, a picture of the scenes connected with that school when I was there was often before me. I looked at the beautiful school building in XYindom now, and wondered if the pupils appre- ciated how they were favored, compared with those of the early days. XN'hile in Cottonwood County, my experiences were then regarded by me as very great hardships, but I now look back upon them with pleasure, regarding them as truly educational. Sincerely yours, XVM.

Prcutiss was the first principal of schools in W'indom. 9 Since the time of Qll r. l'rentiss the schools in Cottonwood County have grown to 137 teachers and 86 school houses. Above is a picture of the old frame school building at VVindom. In the background can be seen the new school house not yet completed. The picture, as it is marked, was taken at Halloween time. The students, as is shown by the picture, were evidently giving the old building' Z1 fare- well reception. The building is now owned by I. G. Redding. The second Hoof is used for a lodge hall, the iirst tloor is the Xlfindom Fire Department headquarters and the basement is 21 bowling' alley. The building itself, however, has undergone very little change. , Ill: 7 , lllll 10 HEN good old school days are ended, And the honor comes to us with a prideg When all of our errors are mended, And none of us ever have lied, There is good that comes we decided From honesty backed up with pride.

MY n15AR IFRIENITS :-You ask me for a letter to print in your annual-now I do not know just who any of you are or why you should want a letter from me or what you want me to write. So l'll give you the one thought that comes to me as of interest to high school students after my thirteen years' absence from a high school assembly room. It is this: Take Latin. take at least some Latin, and study your Latin. The other studies are all very good. or desirable or necessary. as the case may be, but what you do not get of llistory. Civics, English or Mathematics you can get later from general reading, college. or home study. XYhen once past high school and high school age without taking any Latin you can rest assured no or- dinary mortal will take up its study. 1-Xnd just that surely is no ordinary mortal fairly equipped for a proper and easy use of our great and expressive jargon known as the lfnglish language without some knowledge of the dead language that most school boys hate to study. And as the above is written by not the dullest. but probably the most unwill- ing student of Latin that the XYindom high school ever tolerated in its classes. it should carry some weight. ln the words of the erring negro parson. Dont do as I do, do as I say. Very truly yours. ARCII. Rolzlsox. january 25th. lQ15. Tina SENIOR Crass or IQIS. IJEAR FR11axns :-ln answer to your request for a letter to your Annual. per- haps a brief biography of myself since leaving the Xiindom high school might be in order at this time. After escaping from the high school in IQOO I entered the dental department of the If of Xl. where, having served a three years' sentence, they turned me loose on the unsuspecting public. The next place I showed up at was Elk River. Minnesota. Here I remained four years. Having become infected 19 with the western fever I came to Seattle, XYHSIIIHQIOII in 1907, where I expect to remain. In IQIO I made a visit to Minnesota and returned with a life partner. XN'e think we have two of the finest boys on the coast. There used to be two sea- sons out here, the wet and the dry, lillt since the last election-oh! well it is awful hot and dusty. NIORMAN I..

It gave me a real thrill of pleasure to re- ceive a letter from your president asking a letter for your year book. I have nothing to write about, but myself and my work. Tl1e latter is inter- esting even though the former is not, and you will have to pardon the personal reference in order to hear about the latter. As perhaps most of you know I am a nurse-a very small factor i11 the great army that is waging war against disease. I have taken a course here at the Angelus Hospital where I have graduated and also received my state R. N. The position I have held ever since my graduation. as night superintendent here, has given me varied and interesting experiences. The tragedies of life are constantly going on before my eyes. To my mind there is no other profession as fascinating as this. It is a continual struggle with death, a grim fight against invisible and terrible forces and it is always a struggle for human life. It is really a feeling to make your chest expand a11d your hat band to grow small to feel that perhaps you, just little you, have saved or helped to save a life by your prompt action and careful IIIZIHZIQCIIICIII, that perhaps you have cheated the grim reaper once more. The hundreds of accidents, surgical shock and new b0ri1 infants that must have prompt aid with human agencies or their life is forfeited, gives one an idea how terrible and yet how fascinating the work is. One great lesson I have learned and which I am going to pass on to you is not to stop when you get through high school. Get i11to the work that you like best and stick to it. Give it the best you have in you and if you do it will give you in return-success. In closing I wa11t t0 say that my memories of old W'ind0m high are very ten- der ones. I spent four of the happiest and INOSI care-free years of my life there and it is with a feeling of homesickness for the old place and kinship to you all that I send this letter. 9 Sincerely, 3I.XL'Illi Pwnsox. Tun 1-XLL'x1x1 E1a1'1'oR, CL,yss 01-' 1915: The fact that in these days the graduating class is issuing an annual book and that we alumni are looked after by no less a personage than an alumni editor shows tl1at the times are indeed changing. In the days of long ago when the Class of 1907 occupied the stage and as Seniors embodied the dignity a11d learn- ing of the school, such things were unheard of. They have come in with the 20 aeroplane, the six-cylinder motor and modern warfare and like these serve to show that we, who studied in the ancient days of yore, are long since old fashioned. Then, perforce, we contented ourselves with certain classic subjects, among which were Latin, Algebra, and Plane Geometry with now and then a football game to keep things moving. .l wonder if you still emphasize these old faithfuls along with your Senior annual. high school paper. the class organizations, debating. gym, and all the rest of modern efficiency. First of all there was Latin. :Xt this moment there is a vivid picture before me of a rather topsy turvy appearing class seated on two long benches with some tall individual chanting the mystic hic. haec, hoc under the guidance of the ro- tund personality of Miss llelliwell. That class found it difficult to appreciate the beauties of the language of the Romans. But when a dignified individual in the back row endeavored to assert that Latin nouns were divided into two declinations. namely one, the weak. and two. the strong. that was the last straw to break the usual patience and good nature of the instructor. - I have forgotten whether the gathering was dismissed. the individual rebuked or the whole class given some scholarly observations about adequacy of prepara- tion which meant in the plain Kings English to get the lesson. lint l suspect that what did happen was a combination of all three things. Une of the interesting things about Latin was the introduction to Julius Caesar. Caesar was quite a man as perhaps the present Sophomores will testify. lle may have been the first great general utility man in history. certainly he was of the Roman organization. llarrior. statesman. emperor are in themselves a strong combination. Moreover he afforded an opportunity for the genius of one XY. Shakespeare. as well as for G. llernard Shaw. liut sometime along about the middle of their second year. I will venture that the members of the class of T07 thought that the greatest thing he ever did was to write the Gallic wars, particu- larly a certain story about the building of a bridge. VVe are not told just how Caesar came to write about that particular story. but there is good evidence that it is somewhat as follows. The bridge was a difli- cult one to build. The soldiers were having a hard time of it. The timbers were large and the stones heavy. The legionaries. as they slept on their shields dreamt of sunny litaly and were weary and restless. perhaps indeed they even grumbled, so Caesar considered what to do and then he had an idea for he was both a phi- losopher and a humorist. The next evening a tall centurion gathered the men around the camp lire and told them what it was. The chieftian did not appear as was his wont. as he was busy writing in his tent. That night there was a light there until the dawn and when Caesar came to breakfast he was satisfied. There was a sly twinkle in his famous left eye and the men laughed at their work. There was no more of murmuring. The way that bridge was built was marvelous to see. The men knew that their keen and far-sighted leader had taken all the diffi- culties and put them into words on paper and there weren't any more left to hinder the building of the bridge. At any rate they were so small in comparison that what were left were jokes. It is safe to venture that if it is not too long since, even now, Caesar turns over in his grave and chuckles at how he sent the difficul- ties on ahead to posterity. A first introduction to Algebra is an experience worthy of remembering. You have just come in say, from the eighth grade and have been trotting along pretty well with arithmetic, fractions. decimals and percentage. Perhaps some insur- 21 Q k ance problems and partial payments have caused a few bad moments. but altogeth- er there has been little to disturb the even tenor of the way. Numbers are such clear definite sharp things and they always come right if there are no plain blun- ders. And then in the first days of the lfreshman year, Algebra comes in with its X's and Y's and its binominal theorem. if any of our practical friends want to accuse high school studies of being theoretical, Algebra is a good place to begin. XYho ever heard of such a quantity as X? Xlvhen you buy groceries, or dry goods, or meat, you do not ask for X pounds and pay your Y dollars. Suppose you have saved some money and go to the bank and deposit X2 dollars. t'l'he cashier at first is skeptical, but he has confidence in you and after you have told him about it he says it is all right, we are progressive and believe in Algebral. You buy many beautiful things and each time draw a check for X dollars, signing your name with a Hourish. The mer- chant remonstrates, but you explain to him that this is an algebraic age. Finally the banker tells you that you have overdrawn your account. Oh. no you answer and then explain to him that you have only drawn QQ checks for X dollars each, that you have only used QQ X of your money and have X2 minus QQ left, an ample margin. It takes him a long time to see through that but finally the banker sees a new light and begins to deal in X's and Y's and to lay aside such prosaic things as numbers. Finally the whole community does the same and becomes an alge- braic community. Then when it wants a park, a new power plant. or even a new depot all the people have to do is, let X equal the new improvement and presto! there it is all new and shining. Utopia would be outdone and the Arabian knights seem commonplace in such a system. Then it is no wonder when a student makes a transition from arithmetic to this wonderful system, he at first feels, in a paradoxical way as though he were going from light into darkness, so far as understanding it is concerned. And yet after a while as l recall it was found that the new study was not such a forbidding thing after all. It would have to be admitted that it was in a way not very tangi- ble or substantial to our practical friends. XYe should have had to admit that sometimes it was a bit imaginative and if you caught us unawares you might have found us. among ourselves. speaking of it in a whispered voice, as pure theory. After all Algebra was and is impractical if one feels that way about it. But it is a good friend of man and a good thing to have been introduced to, not be- cause of what it is, but because of what it does. it performs in the words of ideas the very work that the slave did who appeared whenever Alladdin wished. It fetches and carries. You can let X equal anything and do not even need to rub the lamp to do it. Moreover, though the class of 14107 did not learn this until later and so did not appreciate the study as we might have done, had we known it, Algebra has been found to be simply one modest number of a great family of studies which are real servants of mankind. Some of these have long and formidable names, trigonome- try, calculus, theory of equations, and the like. But underneath their names they are mere tools, the foundations of the engineering sciences, civil, mechanical and electrical and the rest. it is true that they are very complex tools and require a skilled hand and head to use them. They enable engineers to tell in advance how strong to make a bridge girder and how deep to lay a foundation. Vyfithout them modern machinery would be impossible and the tenant of a sky scraper would be taking extreme risk in ever entering the building and it would be rather unsafe to go through school for fear the heating plant would burst. Surely even the most 22 earnest advocate of the practical would agree that as strong a bridge or as safe a boiler will be obtained by having an exact knowledge of the strains and stresses beforehand as to proceed by guess and rule of thumb. lt is in obtaining that sort of information that Algebra and its kindred subjects perform an invaluable work in these modern days, though they do not have to go by the name of pure theory. And finally, how about plane geometry? Does the Sophomore class still study that old-time subject? Invented wasn't it by an ancient sage, known Euclid? ln some respects geometry seems to be a curious subject and there appeared to be little reason in studying about points and lines and angles. I suppose it has been taught to youth from before the days of Socrates, down to the present mo- ment. Yet when one asked teachers and parents about it the answer was, that it was a good mental discipline, a valuable thing to know, excellent training, and the like. .-Xll good reasons in themselves and true, but to the inquiring mind. it is a pretty healthy mental attitude to be suspicious of general answers. It is like the case of a little boy in the city who by chance got down a dusty volume of the family encyclopedia and came to an article on Francis Bacon. Pop, he asked, what are the Baconian Maxims ? llis father replied, Tut, tut, my son, you are not interesting in farming. XYhether his father thought a new weapon for dispatching boys had been invented, I am unable to say. Probably geometry seemed of little value because it did not appear to have much relation to life. Huxley says that the great matter in teaching is to make it real practical: and while making it comprehensive to tix the attention of the student on particular facts. Two such particular facts came into my own experi- ence and both of them served to give plane geometry a new meaning. One of them is the way a surveyor runs a straight line. The very operation of his transit de- pends, if I mistake not, on its being set on a plain surface at right angles to the center of the earth and he projects a line into the unmarked prairie as far as a rod man can see his signals on simple faith that his transit turning on its own axis, is in the same vertical plane with the center of the earth. The second practical illustration on the principles of plane geometry is also a common one. It is the way a carpenter makes and cuts a rafter. It may be that in these modern days, this is taught in manual training class. lt is a real art as one who has tried it under the necessity of meeting a practical problem can testify. If the members of the class could prevail upon the kindness of a surveyor or build- er to explain to them the principles of the transit and the square, it is a safe guess that they would find a new interest in the dry angles and lines of geometry. The learned alumni editor in requesting a letter has been delightfully vague, anticipating in advance, it would appear, the rambling character of the alunmi mind.

The building was IICXY and unfinished and as a result we recited one day in one room and the next day in another. There were no haughty upper class men to tell us where to go. They did not know themselves. Not even the faculty knew more than a day ahead of time where we would recite. Everything was new and it was as if the whole high school were l'Il'CSlll1lCll. All work was done to the delightful music and steady beat of a car- penter's hammer. All eyes kept faithful watch of the progress of the finishing touches of the new building. till at last the work was done and we all settled into our new quarters. In a rhetorical contest between the Sophomores and Freshmen, the Freshmen defeated the Sophomores by a big score. XYe also had a representative on the basketball team. S1scoND S'r.xNZ.x-C1912-l913j In the second year of our sojourn many new teachers appeared upon the rostrum. In this year our class brought forward its athletic ability. Two of its mem- bers became valuable assets to the football team, one a center and the other a half back. In basketball one of its members was a star player. In the spring the Sophomores, with the assistance of the Seniors. carried away the banner at the inter-class track meet. Two of our members died that year, but other than that our Sophomore year passed away without further happening. L111.x1 rE11 'IIIIRIEIQ-C1913-lQI4D In 1913 the class elected its officers and started to make a record the first thing by not scrapping. Again its capacity for making history came forward and in football two of its members proved to be the best players of the school. In basketball four of its members were awarded the XY. ln track, although the result was not a victorious one, it was so close that the Seniors and Sophomores got the banner only by a bare majority of three. Again in the debate the junior class carried off the honors from the haughty Seniors and now last, but not least, the juniors although but seventeen in number. entertained the Seniors at a reception pronounced by the faculty as the best ever. L.xsT S1'.ysM-C IQI4-IQISJ As the Class of 1915 turns on the homeward stretch there is a uniqueness about it that few other classes have. Four of its members have stuck by each other through twelve years of school. Un the morning of the first Monday in September, 1903, they started school in the Kindergarten and now they graduate, still together. 27 L Three of the elass are football players of no mean ability. In basketball the Seniors have three star players. two boys and one girl. Again as said before. most noteworthy is the ability in which the class holds together, the usual hard feeling, scrapping and sour grapes attitude is not in ex- istence. Every one believes that a majority rules and is governed accordingly. And now as we step from our high school career into the great wide world, let us carry this spirit of unselfishness and of doing things along with us.

Sure we were sage green! All lireshmeu are green, but no pea green for us. Nevertheless. we started on our way with a bold front and as was proper and good we sought out teachers to whose tender QU care we surrendered our budding intellects, but now lo! and behold the class of 'I7 is as bold. bad and wise as any Sophomore class should be. liven as lireshies our class was mighty in battle and overcame the upper classmen in many a heated fray. .Xnd so the friendless freshies went from victory to victory. scoring in basketball. football. and only fate prevented a victory in the inter-class track meet. And many a class shall rise up and call them blessed and their praises shall be sung even to the third and fourth generationf, As Sophomores, has their marvelous record been broken? Nav! Nav! who but the Sophomores could have performed the deed which caused the Student Council exceeding wrath. Thus it happens that the mighty Sophomores are still undefeated in battle and no Delphie oracle is needed to predict the future glory and achievement of this mighty class.

Gibaracter fjlortraycr VVhen one has read parts of Tennyson's uldylls of the King, especially Launcelot and Elaine, one must come to the conclusion that Tennyson is an nn- excelled master in portraying individual characters. Tennyson stands far ahead of the majority of other writers. XYe do not feel that he is striving to make us see his characters as Dickens sometimes does. Tennyson, by a few well selected words, gives us a clear picture of the persons he is writing about. lilaine is de- scribed as 'Elai11c tlzc fair, Iilaiizc the Iat'abIc', lflaiuf 11111 lily llldid of slstolatf' Vile get from these two lines a fine description of Elaine. XYe can see in our minds a girl who is very beautiful and innocent. probably very frail: one who would never rise to any great height in social affairs. but would always be busying her- self with affairsfat home.

XYe dislike Gwain for his traitorous and gossiping nature. XYQ have a liking for Lavain on account of his boyish, joking way of going about everything. XYe sympathize with Sir Gorre who cannot fight because he had been disabled in his first fight, even if he is sulky and out of sorts. Even the gate-warden who is probably the most minor of the characters stands out as a separate individual person. 'XYe see him as an old dumb myriad- wrinkled man, at whom Lancelot marvell'd.

And after the doings that evening The trio for home then did start, But each wished to tell the others The thing that had hold of her heart. So Grace the most brave of the trio Broke the silence with, Say, girls, by Io, VVasn't that a beautiful shirtwaist That nigger wench wore at the show? l'm sure we could look just at pretty As anyone there, but 1 guess lYe'll all have to wear something ilashy. For the thing that makes beauty is dress. So three little heads got to working Hon' each could improve her good looksg They read all the papers on fashions, All encyclopedias and books. At last they hit on a suggestion, XVhich each of them thought was all rightg NfVe'll wear the American colors But minus the Blue and White. . So scarlet for color was chosen As red as George VVashington's blood And when Gladys came home in the evening She scared the life out of poor Bud. XYhen Gracie got home to eat supper After working all day she did tire, The family rushed out to fetch water For they thought that the house was ahre. Miss Edna, she also raised havoc VV'hen she came home to mamma next night Three cheers for the National Colors lf they leave out the Blue and the Wl1ite.

Since then all the girls have gone crazy And have taken to wearing red clothes.

A number of years ago large inter-scholastic con- tests were held. In these Wvindom won nianv first plaees. but a verv bitter feeling was Caused between the sehools. Some of the students at that time have not gotten over it vet, so it was thought best to diseontinue the Contests.

Dinner was announced shortly after eight o'clock. The banquet table was spread for about sixty guests, in the long corridor on the first Floor. At each entrance of the corridor were two arch- ways of green and white streamers, the walls being decorated with Shamrocks. The table was beautifully decorated with smilax and white roses, the Senior class flower. and was lighted with green candles.

Mr. McCormick Tt's a Long, Long VVay to Tipperary .....i X rnold Johnson The Seniors were next invited to the English room, where an interesting program was given. The room was decorated in purple and white, the Senior class colors, and a stage was arranged in the front of the room. VVhen we were all seated the fun began. Prof. bl. R. 'Hedquist demonstrated his new invention, the T-Tumanophonef' This, beyond a doubt, is the wonder of the age in its pro- duction of popular airs. and certainly ought to be classed as one of the Seven XYonders of the VVorldf' A new version of :'Annie Laurief' was given in Swedish brogue by Paul lYeld. Shakespeare's tragedy of Julius Caesar, modified considerably, was given next. The actors kept the audience in a continual uproar with their interpreta- tion of the tragical parts. As the curtain was drawn aside for the next number we beheld an aged society belle of former days, who recited The Vifreck of the Hesperusf, with great feeling. Vllondering who this talented young lady was we began to observe more closely, and discovered that it was none other than a junior, Christine Peterson, in disguise. Vile, as Seniors, are in a position to appreciate the effort and unfailing en- ergy that had been spent in preparing for us such an excellent entertainment. VVe wish to thank the Junior class as a whole and Miss Ganssle, through whose ef- forts the reception was made a success. Though we are now launching out on lifeis stream with yet but a vague idea of where we shall anchor, we shall always look back on our High School days with tender recollectionsg while one of the most memorable events will always be that dreary night in March when we were so royally entertained by our Junior school mates. 56 lf Athletics 57 'Athletics w. il. s's BlU'l l'tb Bc if -victory or defeat, llc!! false it witlz a suzilrf' lu athletics, the XYindom lligh School has always been a strong competitor for the championship of Southern Minnesota in football, basketball and track. A'Fair play and courtesy to all is the guiding idea of our school. .Xll unfair tactics and discourteous treatment are discouraged and forbidden. :Xthletics are an essential part of school life, for ethical as well as for physical reasons. A distinct culture results from the cleanness necessary to the athlete and from the self-control developed in his daily training. The ideals in athletics are lofty and take possession of a boy in a very powerful way. :X boy matures quick- ly, too, under the stress of training. Athletics afford topics for general interest and discussion. lt gives a boy a chance to do something in the objective world. It also has an important economic side in school life. It awakens in him a per- sonal interest which redects on his whole career. He will sooner or later discover that mind and muscle must work together. lle will gain in thinking power. acting, and in being taught how to make sacrifices, learn to take the ups and downs of life. Ile will learn that the great thing is producing the true type of man. and that victory is no great thing and that defeat is still less. lYindom has always had the best of coaches to carry out athletic work to make it what it is. Such men as Becker C1908-Qj, Hocker of Pennsylvania Uni- versity tiooo-ioj, l'. R. Corner of Morningside L'niversity flijll-l4D, and our present coaches, Professors Olson, and li. T. Chesnut, both from the Minnesota University. have greatly helped to make this work a success. Our new gym, shower baths and lockers are something to be proud of. All pupils from the seventh grade up have access to these. Certain periods are assigned to the boys and girls. Football, basket ball, and track are the major sports. Baseball has never been encouraged, but according to a rumor a team is about to be organized. lf one is or- ganized we surely can pick a fast team from the material we have. l.et's boost it. 58 Erack P. R. CORNER--Co.xcH. Track has never reached the pinnacle attained by football and basket-ball, though a team is always prepared for the Inter-scholastic meets at Mankato and Northfield. Two firsts and one second have been taken at the lnter-scholastic meet at Mankato in IQOQ-IQIO-IQ1 1. The IQI4 track season was one of the most successful considering the material from which Coach Corner had to pick. The first event was the lnter-class meet, which was won as usual by the seniors and Sophomores over the juniors and Freshmen. The next important event was the dual meet at Wfindom with the Mountain Lake high school, on May 9, IQI4. The meet was a hotly fought contest. After the smoke of battle had disappeared the Mountain Lakers came forth with the greater number of blue, red, and white scalps on their breasts, all of which amounted to 54. That left us 41. - After this meet Coach Corner picked four husky athletes. C. Foss, Paul Reese, E. Damm and J. Sanger, who went to Northfield with hopes of capturing a place. They came home without a point to their credit: though E. Damm found second in the preliminaries of the 1oo yard dash, and the team took second in the half mile relay. On account of many difficulties XYindom was not represented in the Mankato meet. 59 W ' oolball The XYindom I ligh School as usual turned out a good tea111. It did not c1'own itself with the glory that last year's tea111 did by winning the championship of Southern Minnesota. but considering that o1u' 1'ivals were stronger than in previous years. a11d new men had to be whipped in form for importa11t positions, it seen1s just to say that football was not a failure, but a wonderful success. The team played six games during the seeason, of which three were victories, two defeats. and one tie. neither team scoring. The points scored we1'e 175 for the XY. H. S. and 67 for the opponents. The most bitter pill to swallow, outside of the defeat by Fairmont was a knockout at the hands of Redwood lialls on our home gridiron, 39-o. The season opened with the fast lfairmont team, after five weeks of hard drilling. .X week later. October 17, we played our southern neighbor, Lakeheld. on their ground. making it our first victory. Our first hard game was with the fast team from Redwood lfalls. They had just defeated the strong teams from the northern part of the state and came to XYindom determined to win. XYe lost. Losing to the state champions is no disgrace. Then Madelia was played on our home ground, making it our second victory. XYorthington appea1'ed he1'c two weeks later. They were snowed under 68 to 6. The last game of tl1e season, on Thanksgiving day, was with tl1e XYindo1n .Xll Stars. composed of XYindom high school and college sta1's. The game was a closely fought contest. The high school during the whole game outplayed their old friends. and many times tln'eatened to cross their goal. Thus the season closed. XYe have no apologies to offer. lfairmont and Red- wood Falls had tl1e best teams in their history. lloth teams were filled with sta1's. The prospects for an unusually strong team in IQIS are good. as there will be twelve of the lljl.l, squad returning, and with that, next fall will probably see a SI1'O1lQ'CI' ream than the one in IUI3.

XXlith three old veterans on the team the season began in a whirlwind fashion and the team would have proved a close contestant for the championship had we not been handicapped in many ways. XX'e were able to win but three games of the ten played. Coach Lester lilock proved efficient for the job. Green men were developed into fast players. No blame can be attached to any one thing. Captain O'Neil proved to be an all around star on the team. XX'ith all of the players back. we can hope for an exceptionally strong team the coming' year. The girls opened their third season with a defeat. XX'ith this beg'inning' the girls worked all the harder to develop a stronger team. This they did. afterwards winning every game played. Owing' to Mr. Ulson's large amount of class work. he was unable to do the coaching. .Xluch credit can be given to R. Cook and XX'. Foss for their good and faithful work. There are prospects for a stronger team than ever in IUI6. SCH EDULIC-IN PYS. lleron Lake 49. XY. lrl. S. Ilfilf XX'indom hlanuary Sth. Heron Lake 31, XX'. ll. llfilf lleron Lake .lanuary Zljlll.

The The Tattler is a four page paper published every two weeks by a staff elected annually by the whole student body. Each class has its OWl1 reporter. A school paper is needed in every school. It not only gives the alumni and students a record of what is going on, but it also gives the student an opportunity to see what he can do in the line of journalism. The 'l'attler was started in january, 1915. Its first issue was not a model paper by any means, but it has steadily improved until now it is as good a paper as is published by any school in the state. When the paper was started the following staff was elected: Editor-in-Chief, Paul Koob: Assistant Editor, Einer Dannng Business Manager. Howard Peterson. Since then Paul Koob was forced to resign on account of ill health and Einer Damm was elected Editor- in-Chief with Richard Cook his assistant. About two weeks later Howard Peterson left school. This was a most serious loss to the paper as Peterson had worked in a printing office and understood the business. He had been perhaps the main-stay of the paper. Paul VVeld was elected to fill his place. The present staff is as follows: Editor-in-Chief ......... Einer Damm Assistant Editor . Richard Cook Business Manager . .... .
