T II E A N T I, E R 19 3 1 ’31-THE UNTRODDEN PATH OF THE FUTURE—'61 (Faythe and Connie enter Library of Alumni Hotel.) Connie: Well. Favthe, it’s so long since I've seen you. What have you been doing for excitement lately? Favthe: Oh. I'm manager at the V. W. C. A. Swimming Club. It certainly is fun. You know some of our schoolmates’ children are in my classes. It’s awfully interesting to see how our classmates paired off. What are you doing? Connie: Oh. I'm taking charge of the new kindergarten at M. A. Isn't it interesting that Kenny Peterson gave money for the founding of a Grade School and Kindergarten at Minnehaha? Faythe: Oh, yes, ami I hear now that hi- is the President of the Alumni Association. Isn’t this a beautiful building though? You know this is the Publication Room and all our old Quivers and Quills and Antlers are on file here. Connie: Did you know that Graduation takes place twice a year? Let’s look at our 1981 Antler. Just think, it’s I!HJI now and it’s thirty years since we’ve graduated. Faythe: Oh. here’s Alvin Anderson. Isn't he your cousin? What's he doing now? Connie: Yes. we’re cousins. Alvin is a cook down in another Byrd Polar Expedition. Linuca Anderson is awfully lonesome, too. Faythe: Oh. yes. I remember that she and Al were kinda stuck.on each other. Do you ever hear anything from your old pals, Joyce Anderson and 1 illy Western? Connie: Certainly I do. Do you remember that ten-passenger taxi that Joyce drove way hack there in '83? Well, it comes in plenty handy now. Makes a line family car for all the little Cedars. And Milly— .Mrs. Abraham Jacobson, has grown braver since she milly fell in love, and though she lives in Canada, has bridged the gulf of the distance from there to Payne Avenue by getting an airplane. Imagine the joy of the little Cedars when Aunt Milly comes and takes them in her plane. Faythe: That’s pretty good! Oh. here's Katherine Lindquist! The other day I went down town and there Kate was. She's a sandwich woman advertising her husband's hot dog shop. Yes. Kate ventured boldly into matrimony with Klwell Swanson whose well-trained deep bass voice has been used for hollering “Hot dogs! Five cents everybody! Only five cents! This way folks for your onion, pickled, nice, spicy, juicy, good hot dogs!’’ In between times Kate swings the dish rag. Connie: That’s pretty good! You’d never have suspected that thirty years ago. Here’s Orville Hognander's picture. I wonder what he’s doing. Faythe: Oh, you know he and Grace Bogue got married and arc traveling up and down the Mississippi River holding evangelistic meetings. They're a model couple, all right. And they not only speak, hut sing and teach, too. And say! Did you know they are sometimes accompanied by the world-famous musicians, the Roberts family. Harold Roberts sings ilouhlf bass and Marion Warn Roberts, his wife sings unprr soprano. Their children, Rosemary, Rosemarie, Itoscbcrry, and Raspberry, accompany them on the shoe-horn, comb, eardrum, and fog-horn. Connie: Yes they are certainly musical. I heard them sing in the Auditorium. Remember Dorothy Dahl? She was finally hooked by Edmund Gustafson. They arc traveling to demonstrate the L. (’. .Smith Typewriters. Of course their romance was settled by that circular letter. Faythe: Here’s Emil Allerson! What’s this I hear about the romance of Emil and Edna Senberg? Connie: S’es. the last marriage ceremony that Prof. Anderson performed was their wedding. I was there, and they certainly seemed happy. Their pictures were in all the Minneapolis papers. Emil is teaching at M.A,— History', of course. Faythe: I guess they’re the long and short of 1981. Our President, Paul Peterson has finally decided upon his life's work. At first, you know, he was the Model at the Hagstrum Taylor Company. You know Homer was the President of that company until he and Paul started life-saving. They began their work on the S. S. Alumni. Of course you heard how Paul rescued and married Princess Ileana and thus settled the complicated marriage problem for that young lady. Of course Queen Marie wept, and disowned her—but she has finally forgiven her. Homer is married now. too. Guess who his wife is! Abide Knhncn! Their home is in the South Sea Islands. Connie: Oh. here is Wally Liudskoog’s picture. What’s he doing? Faythe: You can’t imagine! lie and Ruth Jacobson are tight-rope walkers in a circus. Wally is the boss. Sav. by the way, I just heard that Hazel Shipp is scrubbing decks on the Mayflower. She takes her work to heart as much as she did her debating at school. Eightttn

T II E A N T L E H 19 3 1 Connie: Yes, she certainly was a quiet girl who took her work seriously. You know ilmt Lillian Nelson I walked to school with? Well, “Pete’s Hair Pins” are being advertised over the radio by Kuth Wiilstad. Pay the: Oh, yes. I’ve heard some of Ruth’s lectures on “Psychology” over WCCO. Say, what became of Waiter Hillman and lii.s saw? Connie: That saw certainly got him into hot water! You know Dora Wallin found his playing so thrilling that she took lessons from him. and now those two are the only contestants left in a Saw-playing Endurance Contest. They’ve been sawing now for thirteen weeks and thirteen days. Sounds hud, huh I Pay the: I’ll say so. Did you know that Ruth Erickson is the new Tennis Champion of U. Si? At present she Is in Japan at the World Athletic Meet. Connie: That’s pretty good. Does she still skate and play “Cruck-thc-Whip”? pay the: No, I guess she quit that during her high school days. Pern E. Johnson goes with her to take care of the scheduled tournaments and keep her from over doing and plays Basketball when Ruth is having a tennis match. Connie: Speaking of matches! Did you know Carl Bodln is president of a match concern in Sweden? .Marian Englund, who has iicon traveling and singing in Europe says lie’s having an awful time with his Swedish. Puvthe: Well, I can just imagine. He’s famous for his wonderful orations, however, and often gives readings at public gatherings. Can you remember how he used to recite Lena and the Twins,” or whatever that reading was? That should have helped him in his Swede. Connie: Here is Henry Christensen’s picture. He’s a salesman down at the five and dime on Nicollet. Isn’t In a circus, though? The joke of it is that he’s at the Girls’ Jewelry counter and Woolworth sent him a badge for selling more jewelry than any other salesman or saleslady In that counter. Fay the: That sounds just like Henry. Guess who’s the new Postmaster of Minneapolis! Connie: I know who that is. It’s Charles Hedlund. Chuck delivered special deliveries even while he went to Minnehaha. Fay the: Did you see the headlines of this morning’s paper? It’s that Milton Swanson is a new senator. Isn't that pretty good? Connie: Milton was intended to he something like that. But Beatrice Kronebusch! I got a letter from her this morning saying that she’s Chicago’s biggest crime judge. Who'd ever dream it? Paythc: She always was interested in all the crimes. Hut I’d rather suspect her of being a prison chaplain than a judge. Connie: Say. Doris Julian's study of Missionary Methods certainly comes in handy now. She’s a missionary in Chili- but she says it isn’t as cold as it sounds. And Fern C. Johnson is following in her father’s footsteps. Only she sells Automobile Theft Insurance and not I. ife Insurance. Fay the: Fern a business woman! I haven’t heard a tiling about Mathilda Erickson for ages, hut when last I heard she was head waitress at the Nicollet Hotel. She is still a Sensible girl and leaves men alone. You know Oscar Johnson was quite struck on her last year at school. By the way, Oscar has completed his Bible work at Northwestern and is pastor of the First Baptist Church here. Connie: Do you know who Lars Kindgren is? It’s our old friend Olga! She lias adopted this masculine name for the promotion of her literary work. She is editing a book on the Super-Double-X language which she hopes will he the universal language instead of Esperanto. Paythc: Hoy, that language almost killed me at school. I was in St. Paul the other day, and I happened to pass a meat market. Someone called to me from inside. It was Harold J. Johnson cutting up meat in his chain store, in spite of the fact that Paul Peterson tried to persuade him not to go into chain business he got started and now owns the Universal Chain Store Company. It is dangerously monopolistic from what I hear. Connie: Ruth Dahlgren certainly has been getting tiippant lately. She just won out on a flag pole sitting contest. She sat on M. A.’s flag pole. Paythc: And what of Edwin Clemens? The last I heard he was the head of the Minnesota Hildc Camp Association. Connie: I don’t know anything about him. Hut Theodore Nyquist is tin new small voice instructor at M. A. Paythc: That’s interesting. I know he wouldn’t lie able to leave school. I guess it’s almost the same with Margaret Fribcrg. She’s the girls athletic instructor at the Academy. Connie: I don’t know anything about him. But Theodore Nvquist is the new vocal the U. S. President’s wife's face. Favthe: Malcolm Peterson is a dentist! Of all things for him to lie! Connie: He must have oooohhhh!!! A MOUSE! HELP! (Girls flee.) Co X ST A X CE X X LSO X Faytiie Ri:ak S'intittn
