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

T II E A N T L K R 19 8 1 Vkunox Kmanzkn - - ----- Prcifidenl Kellogg Oij»x - - - ... Vico-PmUlcnt Dwight Ki.vino ... - Secretary-Treasurer J. S. Pmisox - - - - - Faculty Adviser Vkunox Fhaxkkx THE JUNIOR CLASS IN the fall of 15)28 our coach was joined to the train of coaches then passing through the halls of learning in Minnehaha Academy. It was extremely embarrassing at first to realize that we were the only passengers who were not well supplied with baggage. We were immediately put at ease, however, when our kindly guide told us to purchase our books, and writing material at the supply room. It did not take us long to become acquainted with the passengers of the third, second, ami even first-class coaches. The prevalent friendly atmosphere gave us the comfortable feeling that we, too, were welcome to ride with the erudite passengers. We negotiated successfully the first and second years’ journeys; and next year we will be making the last lap after which we will arrive at our station Graduation. After that it will be the big, wide world for us. The friendship of our fellow passengers for three years, and not only that but the conductor and the trainmen (the president and teachers) have guided us well and tended to our needs throughout the journey. Such is life in reality: and the value of Christian fellowship and Christian teachers has been the biggest factor in the three years of our sojourn at Minnehaha Academy. Roth Frkij Tu.'tntv-Oni
