REMINISCENCES Of the Class of 1914, by Elizabeth Stoddard I remember, I remember the fall of 1910, You are seven years older now; I was seven years younger them You boys and girls were Freshmen. Dear me! how time does flv. ‘Twas my first year in Wausau; now a veteran am I. The size of the assembly hall sent shivers down my spine. I wonder if your little hearts beat half as fast as mine. You were quite unusual Freshmen; you’ve expected this no doubt, But I, at least, was filled with awe when report cards first came out. The “E” cards held by Freshmen! Why they filled the bulletin board. For the first time, I then saw names, which since then I’ve quite adored Bob Mumm’s name was posted ’mong others of the best; Since then our Bob has heard the call, “Go West Young >lan, Go West, The cards of both our Ednas were considered decorative; Clara’s and Viola’s marks were, of course, superlative; Irene’s name was written there and Consuello’s too, Oh, would that Freshmen now-a-days knew wjiat those Freshmen knew. It wasn’t just book knowledge, your judgment was judicial; Edna Molter, your -first president, maae a most charming official; I close my eyes and see again your Freshmen party fine, When Edna and our “Hilgy” went “swinging down the line” The Freshmen won the tournament, achievement of renown; Ruth, Clara, Esther Norma, helped to do the thing up brown; Doris Gilham was a whirlwind; she dropped out on the way,’ But she surely helped the Freshmen win the tournament that day. So with laurels, green, triumphant, the second year began. You need a better chronicler, but I’ll do the best I can, This year we missed our one old friend but found anew one true, Mr. Parlin had departed with good wishes not a few; But he left us Mr. Painter, and e'er one term came to end We found we could not have a better counsellor and friend, As Sophomores your class was smaller, more exclusive, You roamed the fields and with Miss Duff, chased “hoppers” most elusive, An indoor sport was added which this year was quite new, You watched the mural painting; under skillful hands it grew. You learned to argue in 2A. 2; Sure ‘Country Life is Better” “The streets of Wausau should be freed from advertising matter” How little did we dream then of what has happened since, t Our geniad Franklin G. pries ads from every merchant prince. In oratory Wausau won as in good days of yore; This honor in league contests was won by Albert Mohr. The first May fete was given in this your Sophomore year, Venetian flower girls galore are among those gathered here. There were lively times as Juniors; football was looming large. Coach Wullf had a fine lot of men; Mass meetings were in charge Of Walter Giesei cheer leader, the school was full of pep. Large scores were quickly run up; our athletics had some “rep.” Our spelling matches, too, brought to your class renown. Clara Pagel was one champion; Ben Hudtloff, too, spelled down. The Lincoln Debating Society was great With Mr. Borsack, critic; On the platform in great state Sat the boys upon November fifth, in election year; Albert, Frank, John and Jule called forth many a cheer, . ♦ As they told us how to vote and why. It’s worthy quite of note That Wilson was elected and woman received the vote. Paul Pedigo won fame as an essay writer when A money prize he earned from the drippings from his pen. In fact, we all commenced to think, “Those Juniors sure are bright” This conviction was strengthened when as Seniors you returned; They’ll carry off all honors that aren’t nailed down tight. The adjective “brilliant” is one you surely earned. Various clubs were founded, Glee clubs and Latin, too; In all, your class won fame, as we knew that you would do. Frank Rowley won first place with Bryan’s “Cross of Gold” Albert Mohr was a close second; your class felt pride untold; 49 to o—to that tune we whipped our foe, Merrill, our old opponent, and some of the team you know, Alfred, Claude and our Big Ben; Albert, too, was there, While on the debating team you had some members rare— Jule Young, Frank Rowley, Allie Mohr, a great triumvirate; Discussed most learnedly, a problem up before the state. This year the school was treated to some talks by those who know, Neal Brown talked “Birds,” while Mrs. M. told us of Mexico; Mr. Pedigo told how news sheets are made today, While Mr. Albers told us all about Norway. And so we hope that with your work you had some good times, too, And got one-half as much enjoyment as we got out of you.

WEAKEN STATEMENT OF FACT Many Persons Seem to Question Their Own Conclusions by Excessive Use of Rising Inflection. It Is a modern conversational fad to use the rising and interrogative In flection a great deal, even when a question is not intended at all. The women are more apt to use it than the men, and it started a few years ago, merely as a pretty trick of talking, with no harm in it, “no harm i’ th* world,” says the Ohio State Journal. But it Las been so very much over done and is now so general that we are inclined to wonder if it betokens a state of mind, or, on the contrary, if it is likely to have an influence on the mind. For a rising inflection implies questioning or doubt and, when ap plied to a sentence that is supposed to be a statement of fact, it necessarily weakens .that statement. We have heard people who were narrating some simple incident use this rising inflection so repeatedly that they seemed to question all their owr. statements, or to seem to appeal to their hearers for agreement. And tbit doesn’t indicate just the right state of mind. If a person has anythin;; to say and believes it, he should be will ing to state it quite simply and posi tively. A positive statement does not mean an aggressive one; and a per son must needs be in a rather pitiful state of fear of his hearer’s opinions if he is afraid to utter an aflirmative sentence. THIS PIPE HAS A HISTORY Was Smoked by Sir Waiter Raleigh, Who First Introduced Use of Tobacco Into England. A pipe w ith a history is in the pos session of a collector in London which was once the property of Sir Walter Raleigh, and is not unlike the letter “Y” in shape. For centuries it has been kept in an inlaid box dated “An no, 1527.” It is constructed in four pieces of wood, rudely carved with dogs’ heads and with the faces of In dians. On the bowl there is a cap about as large as the bowl itself, and attached to the stem is a string of beads made of the same wood as the pipe. In this stem a powerful whistle has been cut, and the suggestion is made that Sir Walter used it to sum mon his servants. The Archaeological society exhibited this pipe at Guildhall in the middle of the last century, the inscription accom panying it bearing these words: “The original pipe of the above celebrated historian of the world, and who first introduced tobacco and potatoes into England.” Tradition, corroborated by a parchment in the possession of the owner, states that this pipe was smoked by Sir Walter on the scaffold just before his execution and handed to one of his relatives as a memento of hirp. !
