Madeline Brabeau." Miss Dupre was
the last speaker, and the audience had
| by this time grown very restless, but in
a few moments Miss Dupre had them
entirely within her control. She well
| deserved the honors she received. The
| Madison Democrat speaks as follows of
Elsie Dupre: Miss Dupre displayed
IN marked degree dramatic fire and
sympathy Her stage presence was
natural and graceful, and her voice
clear and sympathetic, but without
| doubt the contest was won by the
| dramatic spirit shown in her ricital ;"
| The contest was very close and she
won it by hard struggle. Leland
Marston, of Appleton, won second place
with IN. Beaucaire,' Martin Glaeser,
of Sheboygan, was third. Other con-
testants were Marguerite Hummer,
Eau Claire; Donald Foote, Lodi Gladys
Parker, Fennimore; and Charles Penn,
Superior. The judges were Mrs. j. A.
Awkward, Rev. George Hunt and F. E.
Dolly.
Miss Dupre and Miss Rogers returned
Saturday night and were met at the
depot by over one hundred high school
students. The boys obtained horse
less hack into which they put the young
ladies. Then headed by the high school
band, including Merritt Jones, Mac
Alexander. Frank Osen, Phil Dean,
Wallace Shymanski, Hugh Williams,
and Lawrence Johnson, they marched
through the mud and slush up Scott
street, through Third, and down Frank
lin to the high school, to the tune of
Hot Time" and "We Wont get Home
Until Morning" A monstrous bonfire
had alread been starred on the campus
and was roaring madly in spite of the
heavy rain. The girls were carried
around the track several times and then
| conducted to the assembly room of the
high school, Here speeches were made
by Miss Dupre, Miss Rogers, Pres. G.
d. Jones, Supt. S B. Tobey, and Prin.
Z. z; PaIlin. After good deal of
cheering the boys, being freezing anG
wet to the skim went to their various
homes and Miss Rogers and Elsie were

The boys attended the declamatory
contest at Madison Friday night and to-
gether with Byron Huffman and Geo.
McNaughton, who are attending the u
of W., it is said that they almost raised
the roof of the library hall.
Last Friday night, on hearing of the
victory of Elsie Dupre in the state
declamatory contest at Madison that
evening, eight of the loyal members of
the high school thought it in order to
celebrate. They first went to Supt.
Tobey's residence and gave the
mediately responded by telling them
leading them in giving them three
cheers for Wausau They next drilled
down to Prin. Parlin's and gave the
'Ran-rah' yell Mr. Parlin gave a
short talk, stating that for her victory
at Madison, scholarship of a full
course at the Emerson's school of ora
tory at Boston, or the tuition for a four
years course at Lawrence, was open to
Miss Dupre. They then woke up Mr..
Lewis which, they say, took a great
deal of yelling. The joyful rews was
next told to Gladys johnson, who re-
sponded with drowsy ''E- gads zooks"
for Wausau. They called on Mr.. g. ID.
Jones and Mr.. w. w. Albers, who made
speeches. They also thought it proper
to make the victory known to Prof.
Briggs, and the salutatorian of the class
of 'O6, Miss Zellhoefer, was aroused
with them The boys greatly APP
preeiated the speeches of the teachers
and citizens. The constabulary, how
ever, when they heard the news, did
not show their appreciation in the right
spirit The boys deserve mention as
there are so few in the school who ever
show any school spirit The boys were
"Okie," "Osee," tStuhlie," "Sourie,"
"Johnie," ''Hienie," 'Shy" and
''Koepie."
