Anton Paulson, Olaf Everscn (Instructor), Henry Thorsnaard » Book Keeping Class The object of this work is to teach the student the fundamentals of book- keeping and accounting. To suit the conditions that exist in the different schools, and to permit the teacher to make his course as long or short as desired, the work is divided into four sets, each of which is separate and distinct. The first set teaches the fundamental principles of bookkeeping and accounting. The second set teaches the principles of partnership bookkeeping. The third set teaches the principles of corporation bookkeeping, the special accounts required in a corporation set of books. The fourth set teaches the principles of cost ac- counting as practically applied in modern business. Penmanship and Commer- cial Law is taught in conjunction with the above work. t

Iver Iverson Second Preparatory Class The Second Preparatory Class consists of thirteen members. Eleven of these come from rural districts of the northwestern and central states; the other two come from cities in the middle west. Many of these are students who for several reasons had ceased to attend school while very young. But, after learning that an education was absolutely necessary in this competitive age, they have come here to resume their studies. For this reason, most of them do not waste time and money for foolish pleasure as other students often do, but they do their best to use both time and money for something useful. Besides the regular work, this class is interested in a great many outside activities; such as, the Augsburg Brass Band and the Lyceum Debating and Public Speaking Society. And, further, they take an active part in athletic ex- ercises. including work in the school gymnasium, basket-ball, skating, baseball, tennis, and swimming. PAGE THIRTY-SEVEN

A attg of tabor O the hours of youth arc golden, And the days of youth arc rare, But the years of age are laden With a weary weight of care. Take me back for just a moment To those pleasant days at school, When my thoughts were running rampant, And my heart was pleasure’s tool. Little knew I of the labor That awaited me in life, Little knew I lasting honor Is the fruit of toil and strife. But the years of age have taught me That we conquer to be free; And my life’s long span has brought me. Nearer to sublimity. For God made us with a purpose, In His good omniscient way; So He makes our labors joyous, In the triumphs of the day. Let us go about our toiling With a noble end in view; Struggling, hoping, striving, winning. With our hearts forever true. B. A. H. ■'M PAGE FORTY-ONE
