Towler, Business Man Mabel Heffner, Secretary Fred A. White, Literary Editor Jane Redfield, Treasurer Central High School Building 4- Introductory Gentle Readers: The work which we contemplated with so much awe a few months .ago is completed, and we submit to your judgment the result of our labors, the fourth volume of the High School Annual. With fear and trembling do we present it, hoping that you will look with favor upon its few merits, and with charity upon its many defects. In this work we have endeavored to picture accurately to you the school as a whole, and the class of ’03, with its character and doings, as a part. We have made it our object to interest and amuse you, even at our own exj ense. Therefore, if 3 011 see aii3 thing that looks like vanity (!), please remember that no seniors are such fools in that respect as the3 appear. One who has never ‘'hustled ads,” who has never read proof, who has never wrestled with the arrangement of “cop3 ,” who has never braved the printer or the dry goods man in his den, can not realize how arduous was the task of publishing this work. If, however, 3 011 are satisfied — if this book gives strangers an accurate idea of the class of ’1)3 — if to members of the class it brings back at some future time the days we spent together at the old high”—it has accomplished the purpose for which it was published, we are more than repaid for our labors. If 3 ou are dissatisfied, we are sorry. We shall be glad to have any of our readers call to express their opinions of this work. It will be only fair to say, however, that we shall lie “out” all next week, from G A. M. to 12 P. M., daily. If 3 011 have anything important to communicate, typewrite (nothing else will be read), seal your paper, address it to us, and file it in the waste-basket in the principal’s office. Whatever else we may have done, for one thing, at least, we deserve commendation: in all this work there is not one joke about going to Canada with the proceeds of the publication. Whatever is your judgment on this book, whether 3 011 think it too serious, or whether 3 011 judge it frivolous —we know that there will lie some of each class—pray consider that we have done our best, and that neither man nor woman can do more. Therefore, if you cannot approve, at least do not condemn the work of THE EDITORS. Greer Professor Jofyo Qreer ROFESSOR JOHN X. GREER first saw life on a farm in Scott county, Iowa. He attended the district school until the age of fifteen, when he entered the public schools of Davenport, Iowa. Five years afterward he was graduated from the high school, having mastered in three years the full four years course, and was valedictorian of the class. A. year after, in ’71), he entered Iowa College, and was graduated in’82. There are many men who seem to have left their youth so far behind them, that it is almost impossible to imagine them as boys. Not so with Professor Greer. Though a man of utmost dignity, he yet possesses the freedom and elasticity of youth. Some of us, perhaps, may envy him, when, like Whittier’s barefoot boy, he roamed over the big farm, fishing, perchance, in the little stream, or chasing butterflies over the grass, and making friends with the birds and squirrels. Indeed, he was passionately fond of pets, and lost no opportunity to study them and their habits. It was then that he acquired that taste for natural history and that habit of close observation, which arc now so characteristic of him. But not long did he enjoy unrestrained childhood. At the age of ten he commenced to labor on the farm, and from that time onwards he worked as hard asany full grown man. 11 is father died, leaving him, a boy of twelve, in charge of the farm. He proved equal to the occasion, and for three years he successfully carried on the business and management which had so suddenly devolved upon him. But he was not the kind of boy who could be satisfied with the monotonous toil of farm life. His great desire lor study led him to seek, in the public schools of Davenport, the avenue to culture and advancement. For about a year before entering college he taught a village school at Blue Grass, Scott county, Iowa. He entered the college in September, 79, as has already been said, and for three years applied himself earnestly to study. His rapid advance through the classical course, paralleled by sjjecial work in the sciences, secured for him in this short time the two degrees of A. B.and B.S. It may Ik interesting to know that only one other person in the history of the college has been able to secure these twodegrees. The fact that Professor Greer was able to condense eight years’ study into three-years is certainly a remarkable tribute to the effectiveness of application and determination. But though Professor Greer studied hard, he did not neglect his health. 11 is life on the farm had given him a constitution which placed him at once at the head of college athletics, and his interest in base-ball, foot-ball and other sports was equalled only by his proficiency in them. It was a peculiar feature of Iowa College, that the athletes were the best scholars. For an athlete to be below the average in his studies was a positive disgrace. At that time no Greek letter fraternities had been introduced into the college. Their place was held by various literary and scientific organizations, among which, and the most important of which, was the Christo-Mathian Literary Society. Professor Greer considers the training which he received in that society as of more practical value than the pursuit of anyone study throughout his college course. “No student,” he says, ‘‘can afford to neglect the study of English in his education. A student who is ready by word of mouth or word of pen is thrice armed for any emergency.” Soon after leaving college Professor Greer entered the law office of Cook and Dodge,in Davenport. After about a year with this firm, during which time he had almost prepared himself for admission to the bar, he accepted a responsible position with a telephone company, which had its headquarters at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A year after he was made principal of School No. 2, of Davenport; which posi tion, in January, 1889, he resigned, to become principal of the North Side High School in Minneapolis; and in August, 1892, he exchanged this position for the corresponding one at the Central High School, vice Professor Crombie, who had resigned. Though succeeding a most popular man, who had resigned under circumstances which would tend to make the position of his successor one of unusual difficulty, Professor Greer has achieved a great success. He at once secured the resj ect and admiration of both teachers and pupils, and now enjoys such a degree of popularity as is seldom the reward of one in his position. The story of Professor Greer’s life is a story of advancement. As a boy, as a youth, and as a man, he has shown by manly bearing and persevering industry, that he both prized and was determined to make excellent use of his opportuni ties for self improvement. Fortunate, indeed, arc the students of this school to have among them, as guide and instructor, one whose personality and influence must continually stimulate them to high endeavor, and make all who know him the better for the privilege. 8 $n ptemcanmtt.

Yet take this simple token: Your kindly words, in gentle, graceful, manly manner To your children spoken Will not be forgotten. ’T was not in your heart to chide; Ever yours the soul to guide, With your pupils by your side. Twigs were we, inclined to bend; Then we met our brother, friend. Recognized in him a trait That will make us upright, straight. Wholesome counsel you have left us, Hut our Father hath bereft 11s— You are home. His will be done. Your crown is won. We’ve a Friend above to meet us, A Brother there to greet us When we come. 9 JVJiss Qrace Williams. Pff ISS GRACE WILLIAMS was born at Hadley,Massachusetts. Early in her life the family removed to Chicago, which was her home until she came to Minneapolis. In Chicago her father practiced law with such success that he was elected judge. This position he held for sixteen years. Miss Williams received her education in Chicago, with the exception of two years at Dr. Dwight’s school in Clinton, New York. While attending Kenwood Seminary, in Chicago, she became intensely interested in the subject of elocution, which, with literature and history, has occupied her attention ever since. Miss Williams has had much special training for the work she does so well. For several years she pursued the studv of elocution with the eminent reader and instructor. Professor Cumnock, of the Northwestern I’niversitv. Miss Williams took a subsequent course in the Dclsarte system of expression with Mrs. Frank Stuart Parker, of the Illinois State Norm d School, and, more recently, a course in the Boston School of Expression. On the death of her father, Miss Williams’ Chicago home was broken up and the Family removed to Minneapolis. At this time she received her appointment as teacher in elocution in the High School, which she has now held for nine years. She has given public readings at different times, though not often, since coming to Minneapolis. Both her time and her strength have been absorl ed in teaching. But although she has made comparatively few appearances before the Minneapolis public. Miss Williams has won recognition as a talented, delightful reader. Her occasional appearances are hailed with delight and a number by her is considered a rare treat. She is happily free from the unpleasant affectations that mar so many public readers. Iler delivery is modest and unaffected but she does not lack force. She is emphatically not a “ranter,” but she is possessed of wonderful dramatic feelimr, and has the art of making her hearers in sympathy with the character she portrays. In appearance Miss Williams is very attractive. A stranger seeing her about the school halls would Ik more likely to take her for a senior girl than for a teacher of the seniors. No photograph can show her bright, changing expression and the indescribable, magnetic charm of her personality. Miss Williams has been very kind to the class of ninety-three, during both its junior and its senior years. The class has given two highly successful musical and literarv evenings and on both occasions Miss Williams has contributed a reading, besides much assistance in preparing the program. She has always been glad to help us in whatever way she could, and she may be sure we shall not forget it. Her kindness, her sympathy, her womanly refinement, and her keen sense of humor are some of the qualities that have endeared her to every heart in Ninety-three. We all unite in wishing her a hearty God-speed. 10 Miss Grace Williams Glass of '93 Edwin Clark Anderson. Harry Franklin Baker. Hector Galloway Barnes. Agnes Emily Belden. Olive Bertha Bell.

HE history of a class, like the history of a nation, is, or should be, a history of development. None but the most unpatriotic historian could take pleasure in recording the decline of his country. Happy the iortuneof those whose lot it is to set forth a narrative of ad vance, and doubly fortunate those who furnish the subjects for such annals. Such is our relation to this class, and with joy we take up the self-imposed task, not of writing its history, for that is the allotment of another, but of seeking to discover some of the secrets of its success, and, if possible, of drawing such inferences from its history as shall pave the way for the advance of succeeding classes. It is a disputed question whether character is determined more by nature or environment; but no one can doubt that with classes, as with men, circumstances exert a large, if not a preponderating, influence. Conscientious and capable instructors, large and well ventilated rooms, capacious seats, and a general air of culture and refinement, are advantages which do not fall to the lot of all classes, but without which any class, however talented it may Ik , is sure to develop serious faults. Our class seems to have been unusually well equipped, both with natural talent and with material advantages, the results of which are shown in its high scholastic record and the success which it has attained in the fields of music, oratory and the drama. No preceding class, as far as we know, has ever shown such talent for, or taken so great interest in, music and dramatic productions. Before our time it had been the custom for classes to hire lecturers and make what they could from the proceeds of the lectures. But our class has depended entirely on its own efforts, and has achieved success such as many a more assuming organization might well envy. The social tendency has also been a strongly marked characteristic of the class. Socials as promoters of acquaintanceship and fellowship arc invaluable, and none could be more loth than we to decry their merits. oo LIBRARY CEWTR4I HIGH SCHOOI But for the sake of the classes which come after us, we feel called upon to object to the system by which a part only of the class, the (lancing portion, have conceived and carried out socials with so little consideration for the entertainment and comfort of the non-dancers. It seems only just that it a social is to be called a class social, it should be conducted in the interests of the whole class, and not simply of a part. Of course these remarks apply only to the socials as such, and not to the gatherings of a different and more pretentious character. Notwithstanding this inconsistency, which, it must be confessed, seems common to all organizations of this kind, our class has been harmonious and united and undisturbed by those little schisms and jealousies which so often result in serious ill feeling. One other point and we shall have done with unfavorable criticism. The class, as has been remarked, has shown much ability in the field of oratory, at least that part of it which might be termed rhetoric. Our speakers have con-scientious’y and studiously prepared their speeches, as to both composition and delivery; the class has been attentive to oration and debate, but it has ignored to a large extent the value of extemporaneous speaking. Motions lor throwing open to the house even the most important questions, have, as a rule, been voted down. If we but look at the world of politics, of law, and of ordinary life around us, we must see that what a speaker most needs is to be able “ to think on his legs,” that is, to have the full command of his faculties and of his materials or kno Ad-edge while actually addressing an audience. The true training for such oratory is to be found in extemporaneous debate. Few of our political leaders, lew ol our greatest lawyers, are masters of what might be called studied eloquence. They concern themselves little with those abstract subjects which are so popular among young and ambitious speakers. This is not an age, like that ol the Greeks, when there are neither books nor newspapers, but a large population of lounging critics, to whom rhetoric is one of the line arts and language as delicate an instrument of expression as music. It is an age which troubles itself little with the abstract or the past, but is intensely interested in the events ol the day and the problems of trade, finance, religion and war. We have enough of “demonstrative oratory.” What we need now is men who can speak on the instant and who can hold their own against all comers on the things of which the world is thinking and by which the world is shaken. The old “ Lyceum societies were most effective training for this kind of speaking, but our High School classes have something just as good in their literary societies, if they will only manage them with this end in view. The relations between our class and the Junior class have l cen unusually friendly. Members of each class have been welcomed at the socials of the other, and by their presence have contributed to that feeling of cordiality which ought never to be wanting between the classes of a school. And now having glanced in a desultory way over the past, having considered 23 briefly those points which would be most striking to an observer, let us, in the light of these facts, take an equally brief survey of the future. THE FUTURE. What shall I do next ? is a question that is agitating the thoughts of each one of us just now, and well it may. Happy as has been our school life, and pleasant as are all the memories and associations connected with it, we cannot but realize that for most of us, at least, the future will be more serious. From joyous, irresponsible childhood to the comparative maturity of youthhood may seem a long time, but how short, how sudden, will be this second transition into the full responsibilities and the cares of manhood and womanhood ! And yet who of us would avoid, if he could, this change? Who would wish to be a child forever? Vet how few of us, indeed, realize the dangers ahead. We see not rocks and stones, but a beautiful, tranquil deep, inviting us to sail on ships of case to sands of gold and lands of fame. We are willing, nay eager, to go, for have we not all these years been studying the way; have we not the chart of knowledge and the compass of experience which millions of former travellers have left us? So why should we fear the waves of the deep? If we are true to each other and to ourselves, if we do not disregard the advice of those pilots who know the way better than we, if we remember that no voyage is accomplished in a day; if we realize that though billows may rise and rocks may threaten, there is nothing which can not be overcome by judgment and work, we are certainly fit navigators to explore even the great sea of life. Some of us will be satisfied if they can find and dwell in the land of wealth. Some will steer for the land of intellectual greatness, and will vie with each other in climbing the steep sides of the mountain of renown. Others will turn their course through the waters of right-doing, and though perchance they may visit other lands, they will never rest until they see before them the Celestial City. Hut not for one of us will it be possible to reach directly his destination. We shall all find ourselves in unknown channels, many a time it will seem easier to go hack than forward ; but let us never hesitate. “ Forward ” is our watchword—“ Forward.” 24. poster of Alurr i.

The first in importance is the organization known as “The V. Ys of ’93.” This society was formed by the young ladies of the Senior class for the “ promotion of curiosity among the boys.” In this respect it has proven a howling success, exciting more curiosity in each boy than any other two organizations in town. Whenever they have thought that things were getting dull, the V. V.’s ha c given it out secretly (?) that there would be a Maxillary Function in Miss Williams’ room at recess, and immediately interest among the boys would go up fifty percent. During the last part of the Junior and first part of the Senior years of this class there was in existence another secret society. It was so secret, in fact, that next to nothing is known about it. What few factsare known wcchcerfullv publish. The name of this organization was “The Lunatics.” The reason for this name is one of the secrets. The general opinion among the uninitiated is, that the mental ability of the members suggested the name. As the V. V.’s are exclusively girls, so the Lunatics were exclusively boys. Each member was coin] e11ed,at initiation, to take a solemn oath to reveal noneof the secrets of the society, to keep strict order at meetings, to preserve undying hatred of the class of‘92, and to contribute one dollar every week for current expenses. None of the vows were ever broken ! This society was disbanded in the fall of’92, at the request of the Board of Education, and to the great sorrow of all the Senior boys. Another society which pervades the Senior class is called the Philomathean, partly because it sounds well and partly because the Juniors do not know what it means. At the meetings of this learned organization the Seniors spout about everything under the sun, from “the question of immigration” to “the young ladies.” The members have rescued scores of youngsters from the flames and flood—have averted countless railroad disasters, with terrible risk to their own lives — in recital. They have all become so accustomed to recitals of horror that their hearts are hardened, and they listen to the most horrible of the horrible without a thrill. Nothing short of a real earthquake, or the sight of a dog fight, could arouse them from their apathy. They are also aweary of jokes, and they can hear joke after joke without smiling the ghost of a smile. He who can makethem laugh is indeed a mighty funny 32 man ! The essay is of frequent occurrence, and it is a most beautiful sight to sec the jov depicted on every face when the poor victim rises to pour into the cars of his hearers a literary effusion composed of Encyclopaedia mixed with “Bartlett's choice quotations,” and perhaps spiced with a thought or two from the half-crazed brain of the victim. The debate is one of the most hilarious features of the programme. The way words will take wings and fly away from a man when he gets up to argue, is something wonderful to relate. He can lay hold on nothing but “ands” and “ those dreadful urs,” and these being very small words he cannot easily down his opponent with them. The order in this society is excellent. So member was ever known to pay a fine for disorder. The idea! society of the school is called the Amphietyon, and is inhabited by the Junior class. This organization is run in accordance with Heaven’s first law ind Miss Shaw's ideas of the fitness of things. Each member (also each visitor) s cordially invited to sit still in his seat and not smile during the whole per-Jrmance. On account of this regulation every member feels an irrepressible in-ination towards mirth and unseemly levity and there is often great hilarity iiiong the little folks. The Sophomores and Freshmen also have societies run on the same principles id in their youthful freshness are enjoying essays, recitations and debates. If the above provokes one laugh, the writers will feel well repaid for their irts. “A laugh is worth ten groans in any market. 33 Tfye Agassiz Association {gJrtHIS society was organized about four years ago under the name of “ The X Young People’s Science Club of Hennepin County.” The object of the society was the study of science in general, and of the geol gv of Hennepin County in particular; and as an aid to such study a collection of the native minerals was begun. The collection now includes specimens not only of minerals, but also of birds, insects and eggs, amounting in value to about $500. For some time the society kept its collection and held its meetings in a room on the third floor of the Central High School building, but these quarters becoming too small, it removed to the Library building. At this time, also, it changed its name to the one which it now bears, by securing a charter from the National Agassiz Association. The different departments of science which have been studied by this society are geology, botany, ornithology, electricity and astronomy. During the winter of 1891-2 the society gave a series of lectures at the Library building. The lecturers were chiefly from among the faculty of the State University. Their lectures, which were all upon the most popular scientific subjects of the day, were well attended, and on several occasions the hall was packed almost to suffocation. It is to be hoped for the public interest that the society will not drop its policy of giving free lectures. The support which these lectures received has demonstrated that our students are much interested in popular science. 34 T )t Story of tt)c Four Centuries: 1492-1892. HK story of the last four centuries is the story of progress; not by slow and painful steps, but by gigantic strides, have we reached the lofty pinnacle of the nineteenth century. Renaissance, Reformation, Revolution, have brought us to this eminence. Renaissance broke the shackles from the intellect, Reformation freed the conscience,and who shall say what Revolution has done? For the end is not yet; as in some transformation scene, where the shadowy forms of the old blend with the filmy shapes of the new, none can tell when the last scene is set up. Looking down the vista of the years we behold the march of intellect guided bv conscience, the progress of material development, and the rise of the middle class. The great features of the Renaissance were the revival of classical learning, the artistic achievements in sculpture, painting and architecture. The triumphs of genius, the dispersion of mediaeval shadows, the commencement of great enterprises in this age form interesting studies. Hut the history of the Renaissance is not the history of arts, or of literature, or even of nations; it is the history of the attainment of self conscious freedom manifested in the European races. Michelet says: “The Renaissance achieved the two fold discovery of the world and of man.” The first of these has been carried on in two channels; the exploration and colonization by civilized man of every habitable corner of the globe, and the investigation of the universe, which we term Science. Columbus made known a new world. The Portuguese found a sea route to India. Copernicus discovered the true center of planetary movement. Galileo proved that the earth moved. The discovery of man was also carried on in two directions, man in his spiritual, and man in his temporal relations. From investigation into his spiritual nature, the Reformation naturally sprang. A leader was found in a German monastery. Luther brought to light the old doctrine of “justification by faith,” to confirm it, he cited the supremacy of the Scriptures, and finally established the right of private judgment. To keep this intact, England was planted with Puritans, Scotland with heroes, France with martyrs, and America with colonists. Hand in hand with religious, came political freedom. The promulgation of the doctrine of personal liberty linked Reformation to Revolution. Bacon, Spinoza, Locke and Descartes, the champions of a new found philosophy, were the precursors of civil liberty; for they first cpiestioned the divine right of kings, and this led to the Revolution. 35 What have these three forces wrought ? Toleration of every religious sect and creed, the extension of Christianity to China, Japan, India and “darkest Africa.” We have a free press, a great public school system, free universities and libraries, hospitals, insane asylums, charitable institutions and lastly a “government. of the people, for the people and by the people.” During the four centuries what an advancement has been made in the arts. The great masters of art and music have left us their immortal legacies. Minstrels, Minnesingers, and Troubadours have been succeeded by Shakespeare, Milton, Schiller, Goethe, Racine, Corneille and hundreds of lesser stars. The sciences of botany,geology,chemistry, medicine and many others have been born. We might enumerate achievement after achievement and still discover more. Turn now from this march of intellect and review the developments in material progress, which it has effected. The many inventions made previous to the Renaissance had to be reinvented again and again, until at last the invention of movable types gave to Science the precision and durability of the printed page. From the invention of the mariner’s compass and the telescope came numerous maritime expeditions. Since then the discovery and colonization of America, the conquest of India, the organization of Russia, the settlement of Australia, and the exploration of Africa have created an almost exhaustive demand for supplies and products of every kind. Invention after invention has made the supply equal to the demand. The first great discovery which revolutionized the material world was the utilization of steam. Watt heralded “the jubilee of trade the millenium of merchants, the schools of thrift, the pioneer of great enterprises, the apostles of physical progress.” Following him have come the Franklins, Stephensons, Tyn-dales and Morses of our glorious era. The utilization of steam has made the wheat fields and flour mills of the Northwest, the cotton fields of the South, the factories of the Hast, the cotton goods and cutlery of England, and the delicate fabrics of France sources of more wealth than the gold mines of Australia and California. But we are passing now from the age of steam to that of electricity. The wonders of the telephone, telegraph and phonograph have only half revealed the power of this mysterious agent. A glittering band of magnetic intelligence encircles the earth. The great cable has made the coral reels of the Atlantic a whispering gallery three thousand miles long. Chicago and New York literally join hands. The tones of the absent and departed mingle with our own. Its uses are innumerable; it cooks our food, lights our stores and streets,and with unseen force turns our machinery and projxds our cars through the streets. Marvelous as has been the march of intellect and of material progress, the rise of the middle class is still more wonderful. The inventions of the Renaissance overthrew the existing order of affairs. By the discharge of the first cannon knighthood was forever unhorsed. When printing became an art, Learning stole from her cloister and lighted her lamp not only in the hall of the noble, but in the shop of the artisan. With the translation of the Bible the stream of tradition 36 was traced to the source whence it flowed and men now drank the pure waters ot living truth and began to comprehend the “Gospel of the Son,” namely the common brotherhood of man. The people having grasped this truth the Bourbon despots might cry “ L’etat e’est moi,” the Stuarts might go on asserting the royal prerogative; but Puritans and Huguenots no longer trembled at their nod, tor they recognized no title to superiority but God’s favor. Thenceforward the banners of civilization were borne by men who claimed the divine rights of freemen. In England the black scaflold before Whitehall attested the power and majesty ol the people; in France “that roaring conflagration of horrors” established “Liberty, Fraternity and Equality.” In our own country Abraham Lincoln’s” Emancipation Proclamation,” made the declaration of our “ Magna Charta” that “all men arc created free and equal” no longer a mockery. Every where, even in the isles of the ocean, the people have become supreme: arbitrary taxation has given place to representative; education and genius, not the accident of birth, determines the height to which a man may rise. Constitutional government is established in nearly every European country, even though the chief executive bear the august title of King or Emperor. The laborer of today no longer contends with a hereditary government for these valuable rights, but by a systematic organization of trade unions wages war on King monopoly. “ 111 fares the land, Where wealth accumulates and men decay; Princes and lords may flourish or may fade, A breath can make them as a breath has made— Hut a bolt! peasantry, their country’s pride, When once destroyed can never be supplied.” We turn now from scenes of violence and terror to a bloodless revolution which has emancipated woman from the silken fetters with which custom and conventionality had bound her. No longer man’s slave or his toy she competes with him in college halls and keeps pace with him in the race of life. I)r. Lord says: “No great enterprise ever succeeded that was not fostered by a saint or a woman.” We recognize the influence of both in the great expedition which we this year celebrate. Isabella shares in the honors of Columbus and is awarded equal place with him .at the Columbian Exposition. And when those spacious halls at Chicago are fdled with the fruits of the labor and genius of mankind, the noble building with the splendid decorations, ornamented and designed solely bv woman, will attest that she has passed the age of crewel work, embroidery and decorative painting, and, like Monte Cristo may exultantly cry, “ The world is mine.” Crowds no longer gather to witness the tournaments of knights, but people, princes, yea, kings, will behold in those palaces of industry the triumphs of the people, and, ‘‘Their fame on deathless pages. Penned by poets and by sages, Shall go sounding down the ages.” 37 Mary L. Porcher. I etrc 5pectiop. T LAST our four years course of study is over, and we look back over the ground we have traversed with mingled feelings of joy and regret; mostly joy however, it the writer is to lx taken as a type of the class. We feel the natural exultation at having overcome an obstacle; several obstacles, in fact, as any one who has ever been through the ordeal of a high school course knows. The obstacles we ourself have encountered number about twenty-five; of these Latin comprises eight. Some of these obstacles detained us a long while; a lew of us rode over them, and one or two crawled under. But whi’e we are happy in the sense of work completed, we feel regret as we think how much better a record we would like to leave. We have passed “through trials to triumph,” we have won the victor’s wreath. This wreath, by the way, isnot made of laurel, as in thedays of ancient Greece, but of sheepskin, a much more durable though not so handsome a material. Through what trials we have passed only those who have experienced them can appreciate. And to what a triumph only alumni can realize. We have not realized it ourselves yet. How happy we have been these four years after all! And aswelook back and remember the pleasure of socials, the fun of c’ass-meetings, and those famous one minute speeches, we do not feel quite so jubilant over the prospect of yielding to’94-our honored position as seniors, and becoming mere University freshmen. Moreover the breaking of the tics of friendship which we have formed will lx , to say the least, not pleasant. As we look back over our journey we can smile at occurences which did not seem at all laughable at the time. With what fear and trembling did we come up the steps of this venerable building one morning about fpur years ago. Some of us asked counsel of friends in the “ soph ” class, and they gave it to us with an air of conscious superiority; others humbly accosted teachers and asked what they were to do; others with abject bearing confronted the principal. Truly, the lot of a freshman is a hard one. The seniors and juniors, when they condescend to notice him, which is feldom, affect an exasperating air of paternal solicitude for his welfare; the sophomores snub him, which is not so bad, but is bad enough. With what owe did we look up to the august seniors and even the little juniors in those days! We regarded a senior as a person of much more importance and 3X learning than any teacher, We had infinitely more resj ect for him than for the principal. We now see, however, that only one class of seniors comes up to our freshman conception of them; the only class that knows everything is the class of’93. When we were sophomores we snubbed the freshmen just as we had been formerly snubbed by the now juniors. We pass over the trials we had in the way of lessons. We had some awful experiences in that line, and there are painful recollections connected with the thought. At that time we would have taken our oath that none of our teachers were ever school boys. If we had been humbleas freshmen, what were we during our term in 41 C” room? IIow much in awe of our grim guardian we stood! We used to shake in our shoes every time we recited a lesson in that old second floor front room. Every one who has ever been an inmate of “C” room knows that its principal rules with a rod of iron. As juniors we began to see that school was not such a bore as we had formerly considered it. We discovered that we could have quite a good time and still imbibe knowledge by the cubic yard. We combined business and pleasure in class meetings. About the middle of the year we whipped the seniors in debate. After that whenever they alluded to their superior (?) mental ability we said “ Rats. ” Altogether we enjoyed ourselves excecdinglv. But how exultant we were when we reached the height of every scholar’s ambition, when we attained the highest pitch of learning, that is to say when we became seniors! IIow contemptuously did we, and do we, look down on the juniors. They on the other hand, show a sense of their own littleness and our greatness by their respectful behavior towards us. Were you awed, 0 juniors, by our learning and accomplishments? Take, comfort; you may come somewhere near the same degree of learning if you persevere long enough. You have learned the one thing children ought to know, namely, to reverence your elders. A man once said, after shaking hands with the President of the United States, that his principal sensation at the time was an overwhelming consciousness of his own insignificance. This is probably the feeling of the juniors when they look at ’93, and that accounts for their respect for us. It is said that the follies which we despise most are those which we ourselves have been guilty of. This is probably why seniors so much despise the lower classes. Some one once classified the Central High School pupils as follows: Freshmen and Sophomores, kids; Juniors, boys; Seniors, young gentlemen. The seniors, as young gentlemen, despise the 44 fresh” and 44 soph” kids more because of their having formerly been kids themselves. This is not a very generous way but such is life. Now we would like to say just a few words to these future seniors. When we were freshmen we thought that we knew everything, and that there was really no reason why we should attend school any longer. Now we realize that we have still much to learn. Probably you labor under the same hallucination that we did. 39 Under the belief that you know everything worth knowing, you perhaps shirk your lessons. In the latter case you will discover your mistake very soon. If, however, you will pattern your future course after ours, and all try—very fcwof you will succeed, but it will not hurt you to try—to do as well as most of us, you may amount to something yet. To you, O freshmen, particularly I speak. You have not yet wasted so much time as the other two classes. Take us for models, and you may graduate from this school three years from now—for that time will come, if you do not die of hard work first. Three years, though a very long time in anticipation, is a very short one in retrosjiection—the best class with one exception that has ever been recorded. The exception is of course, the class that receives its diplomas Friday night. What glory has attended our senior year! What wisdom has been shown at class and society meetings especially! We remember in particular one member, very narrow across the shoulders, but extremely broad across the forehead, who made his mark there, as everywhere else, by his brilliant flights of oratory and his familiarity with Robert’s Rules of Order. We can hear him now, “ Mr. President, I rise to a point of order: ” “ Mr. President, I wish it to lx; understood that 1 have the right to lx heard with respect:” “Mr. President, a motion to adjourn is always in order. It is-not-debateable-and-must-be-put-at-once,” etc. Who does not remember his Wesleyan eloquence? We have had a much easier time during our senior year, all things considered. Partly because our studies have been easier, and partly because our brains have developed so that we can do a certain amount of work in a much shorter time than formerly. We have dared “A ” room’s ogre in the course of our sojourn here; though why he should be called an ogre we are unable to conjecture. We consider this same ogre a much slandered man. It seems to be the general impression among those not very well acquainted with him that he is more of a martinet than any other teacher in the building. Whereas, in fact, no one is more considerate and kind than the principal of “A” room. In his supervision of the room he is lenient, and allows his pupils as much freedom as any one. As a teacher we know no one we would prefer to him. There are some pupils who are always in hot water, and who prefer any teacher to the one they have. Scholars of this stamp may dislike him, but with the exception of these we are sure that he is liked and esteemed by everyone. We have known him for three years and understand whereof we'speak. No, Juniors, and others, the professor is not dangerous— unless excited. Yes, in spite of many things we would change if we could, many neglected opportunities, and many things we would undo if possible, these four years have been pleasant, and through our exultation there runs a thrill of regret as we think of parting from our teachers, classmates, and the dear old Central High. 40 Athletics. CTN WRITING this article for the Annual of 93, the author thought it best to A divide it into three parts, namely, the histories of the foot ball team, of the base ball team and of the Athletic Association. In the fall of ’91 the first foot ball team that the “ Central ” ever had was organized. Of the eleven positions on the team nine were played by Seniors, the remaining two by Juniors, evidently because there were no more Seniors who were willing to risk their learned heads on the gridiron field. The first game was played with the University Freshmen. The game was one sided and showed the need ol training and team work on the part of the Central boys. The game ended with a score of 20-0, in favor of the Freshmen. In the next game the Central team lined up against the St. Paul High School team at Kittsondale. Here also an overwhelming defeat awaited the home team, the game ending with a score of 34-0. On the whole, foot ball was not a success in 91, and the outlook for '92 was still more discouraging. Very little interest had been taken in the team by the school, and especially by the girls, of whom not one witnessed a game. However, when school began last September, the boys who had played as scrubs the preceding fall determined to place another team in the field, and went to work to build up an eleven from mostly raw material. A game was arranged with St. Paul for October 4, but when the day drew near, the Central team had so few good players for the line that it was found necessary to take four from the Holmes school. Some of our team had not seen each other more than once or twice before the game, and of the Central boys only two had ever played in a match game before, while the St. Paul team consisted chiefly of their old players. St. Paul started with the ball and mowed the home rush line down as if they were a lot of reeds until they reached the goal line, which they crossed and kicked the goal, making the score (� -0. It looked very much as if St. Paul would have a walkaway,but the Minneapolis players, who had been playing as it dazed, pulled themselves together and held their own against St. Paul throughout the rest of the game. Although St. Paul did the yelling at the end of the game, they 4i were disappointed in their team,which with much difficulty had kept Minneapolis from scoring in the last part of the match. Hugh Hempstead, the quarter-back, was so severely injured in this game that he was unable to play again during the fall. After this the Holmes School organized a team of their own and defeated the Central team in a rather uninteresting contest. Like all other defeats, this one has its excuse. Towne and Hempstead, two of the best players in the school, could not play, and four or five players had to be taken from the scrubs. After this the school took but little interest in the team, yet a few determined to make one more effort. Harrison and Guilbert, of the Central, and Elliott, ol the Holmes, got together a strong team from the two schools. Although the rushers had no regular practice together, the backs met every afternoon and practiced kicking, passing, blocking and went through all the various plays under the regular signals. On November 19,a game was played with the“ U ” Freshmen on the University campus. It was thought by all who looked the two teams over that the Fresh, men would have an easy time in keeping the High School team from scoring, but that fortune had ordained otherwise had never entered the head of the most hopeful high school supporter. The Freshmen started with the ball, but soon lost it to the High Schools, who immediately showed their superiority by long gains around the ends. The game ended in a victory for the High Schools, with a score of 24—0. Fortunately for the Freshmen, the goal posts had been destroyed, so that no goal could be kicked. The day was very cold, and sharp rocks were frozen in the ground, which was as hard as a floor. Consequently the boys came out of the game pretty well used up, but in high spirits and confident of winning their next game, which was to be played with the St. Paul High School team on Thanksgiving morning. This confidence, however, was considerably shaken when the St. Paul eleven came into the field, for several changes had been made in their team, and it appeared much heavier than the home team. Iii the start St. Paul had things all their own way, and soon Hoidton got around Dana’s end and made a touch-down, from which no goal was kicked. Then the home team braced up, and no more scoring was done by either team in that half. In the middle of the second half Hoe Guilbert made a touch-down and Wyman kicked the goal. Then came the exciting part of the whole game. St. Paul rushed the ball down the field until they crossed the Minneapolis five yard line. Here the home team pulled themselves together and played a defensive game that had never before been equaled at the ball park. The ball finally went to Minneapolis on downs and was quickly carried to the center of the field. After this the St. Paul boys lost hope, and at the end of the game Minneapolis made another touch-down, making the score 10-4-, in favor of the Holmes and Central team. The team was composed of five players from the Central School and six from the Holmes. 4-2 The first meetings of the Athletic Association were held last September, and the constitution was formed, but the association was not really organized till January, as up to that time not even the officers, who had been elected in September, had signed the constitution. Even then the association struggled along three more long months with a membership of about thirty or forty. In April, however, interest in the association began to pick up and the membership to increase, so that now there are one hundred members and about forty dollars in the treasury. By the three teams that; have won fame and glory for the “Old Central,” it is evident that the association has accomplished its purpose, namely, to promote interest in Athletic sports, and to take the power of controlling the teams away from three or four seniors and place it in the hands of the whole school. Under the management of the association the school is to hold annually a field day, and has entered into an interscholastic field day, to be held by the four Minneapolis and the St. Paul and Stillwater high schools. Individual prizes are given for the first two places in each event of this inter-scholastic field day, and a cup is given to. the school which wins the largest number of points. This field day will no doubt become the athletic event of the school year, and continue to grow in popularity. This year the cup was won by the Minneapolis Central High School. The base ball team of this year will long be rememljered for the fine record it has made on the diamond. It is the best team the school has had for a number of years, and is capable of holding its own with any high school team, and most of the surrounding small colleges. Nearly every pla er is a star, and although young, already holds an enviable reputation. Like the foot ball eleven and the athletic team, the majority of the players are from the lower classes, which fact gives rise to the highest expectations for the teams of the next few years. The first contest was played with the Holmes school, and resulted in a surprise to the Holmes men and a victory for the Centrals. The score was 11 to 7, in favor of the Centrals. The St. Paul High School players were the next victims, and met with a crushing defeat. The home team knocked three pitchers out of the box and made 11 runs in one inning off a fourth. The score was 2S to 10, in favor of the Minneapolis boys. The next game did not end so happily for the Centrals, as they only crossed the plate thirteen times to the Holmes’ sixteen scores. The Central team was weakened by the absence of Breed, Huet, Watson and Best, four of its best players-Walker was present, but was unable to pitch on account of a lame arm. 43 44 4-5 Class Krr)b crr)s. 6TT is the custom for high school classes, usually sometime in their Senior year, A to choose class colors, also a class motto, a yell, and a pin. But the class of ’93 has always been noted for its originality, and therefore it was not surprising that some time ago, while the class was as yet in comparative mental darkness, that is to say, while it was unenlightened Juniors, one enterprising young man proposed that the class get out of the rut traversed by its predecessors, and choose its class colors, etc., at once, so as to enjoy them as much as possible before graduation. “If we’re to have these things at all,” said the young man, “ why not have them right off? ” “ Now ou’re shouting,” said the class. Accordingly, a few days after that there was seen on the time and chalk-worn board of the room, in the beautiful flowing chirographv ot the class president, an “A'. B.—Class meeting after school! To choose class colors! motto !! pin !!! ami YELL!!!! ” Around this notice were the usual number of smaller scrolls, calling attention to the importance of the meeting and the necessity of attending it. So, at 1:06:16 I . M. precisely, the class met. Those who have been through a similar experience know what the meeting was like. Those who have not can picture something like the scene if blessed with very strong imaginations. At times the meeting resembled a stock exchange or a political caucus; at others, a funeral. If any of us had thought choosing a class motto as unexciting an event as a class election, we soon discovered our mistake. It is estimated that two reams of paper were used as ballots. The speeches made are supposed to have taken up two hours and a half. The length of the meeting caused several members of the class to go out—“ to see a friend,” probably. If there is anything that is tedious, enervating, and tiresome, it is a class meeting like this one. There are in every class, and I regret to say that Ninety-three is no exception,one or two individuals who seem to delight in taking up the time of the class in useless discussions. When one of these individuals gets on his feet, there is always a mental, and sometimes an audible, groan from the entire assembly. This bore never seems at a loss for something to say. He usually labors under the hallucination that he is an orator, and this idea can not be gotten out of his head with an axe. You observe I say he, for,notwithstanding all that is said about woman’s tireless tongue, this species of bore is always masculine. The young ladies of our class are philosophers, and, in class meetings at least, never talk, except when they have something to say. On an occasion like the choosing of class colors this individual comes out in all his glory (?). He does his utmost to keep the class from doing any busi- + 6 ness. He makes the most exciting questions dull and tiresome. The “speaker-ship deadlock” in the House of Representatives in 1891 is nothing compared to some of the deadlocks this bore brings about. While all the rest of the class is bored insufferably this fellow makes what he considers thrilling speeches on the question at issue. He moves everybody else to tears of anguish, and takes pleasure in what he thinks his intelligent and interesting efforts. That these bores are never lynched speaks well for the peaceful spirit of high-school pupils. We suggest to the succeeding classes that they tie their bores up in the boiler-room before class-meetings. On the occasion of which I now speak, all of this class of individuals did their best, or rather worst, to render tiresome a meeting which would have l een so in any event. The work dragged fearfully, and no one knows how we got through. The first point was a class pin. The committee which had been appointed a few days before to investigate thisquestion had secured the usual number of beautiful designs, from which, after much debating and lively lighting, we selected the design which may be seen on the collars and cuffs ol the coats of the young gentlemen of our class. Colors were the next rock to split upon. This topic proved the most exciting of all. except, perhaps, the yell. Various combinations had been displayed on the wall of the room, and at the request of the chairman of the committee we picked out our favorites. When this ribbon counter had been deserted, which was not for some time, the struggle began. We balloted and debated, and debated and balloted, and carried on meanwhile animated private discussions approaching wrangles. After about an hour we selected for our class colors gold and cream. The beauty of these colors will be appreciated at sight. There is, I think, no color so pretty as the dark, rich yellow of virgin gold. Cream is, perhaps, not so pretty in itself; its excellence is the way it sets off the gold. The two make as pretty a combination as can be found anywhere. I think 1 hear some one saying: “Of course those colors arc pretty, because they are the colors of his class.” That person is wrong. They arc our class colors because they are pretty. Xot only are these colors pretty, but they are really wonderful in the suggestions they call up. If a person gifted with fair imaginative powers follows out the train of thought suggested by these colors there is no telling where he will end. 1 have tried it myself. Gold will call to mind the gold craze of 49. Again, it will make us think of the yellow fields of corn and wheat just before the harvest, and still again, bring up pumpkins and pumpkin pie. Or it may remind some of us of Wordsworth's “host of golden daffodils.” Cream will make us think of the article we don’t get every day from the milkman. The class of ’92 chose green as one of their colors; we have always maintained because it typified the character of the class. We have chosen our colors for the same reason. Gold gives an idea of excellence, value, and beauty. Cream signifies the 4-7 acme of excellence, as “ the cream of the story.” It will at once be seen why these colors should be adopted by our class. After we had settled the question of class colors, we voted on a motto. The committee on mottoes made its report, at least the chairman did for it. We found that a large number of mottoes, good, bad, and in di fie rent,—we beg the committee’s pardon, a large number of excellent mottoes,— had been collected. The chairman of the committee in giving these read both the original foreign language, usually Latin, and the English translation. Why it is always considered necessary to have a class motto in a dead language we don’t know. Perhaps it is consid ered classic, and is supposed to give tone to the class. Perhaps it is the custom merely. We wish that some one who knows would enlighten us on this point. From the mottoes selected by the committee we chose“ Per augusta ad augusta,” which we are told means, “ u. c. through trials to triumph. ” This motto is singularly appropriate for a high school class. After the motto there remained but one more point to be decided, the most important of all, namely, the class yell. The chairman of the committee said: “Ladies and gentlemen, the committee has composed several yells, which it will give you, that you may see what they are like.” So the committee gave the yells, and at the sound the roof rang and the windows rattled. Any persons who have noticed a large crack extending the whole length of one of the windows of “B” room, now know how it came there. The members of this committee, by the way, were all boys. For examples of English verse, displaying remarkable ingenuity, extraordinary versatility, marvellous imagination, and beautiful, unsurpassable poetry, we refer to these yells. It took just one hour, twenty-three minutes, fourteen and three-fourths seconds to choose a yell. The greater part of this time was wasted by the class bores. At first there was an exciting discussion. Hut soon interest began to lag. Some of the class went out as aforesaid to see friends. Judging from the satisfied look they wore when they returned, the friends must have had good news for them. Some did not come back at all. The meeting dragged on. A feeble show of life was shown when ballots were taken,but as” no majority’’was announced, the members of the class would yawn ; one would say someting about ” that tired feeling, ” and his neighbor, who had heard the same remark only a few dozen times before that day, would reply, “ Oh, chestnuts! Give us something new!” The feeling of most of the class was that they did not care what was done, but they wished something to be done at once, so that they could go home. Finally the class in some way got out of its deadlock, selected the yell given on the following page, and adjourned. So when we had finished our work, we were about to give the yell once or twice, to try the effect, but our honored teacher asked us to refrain, on account of the age of the windows, and accordingly the class dispersed to its homes. 4-.S 'll Class JYotto: tjpi rouyi2 trials to TViumpl .” Class Yell: T al !

Fva ! 49 Prizes Six years ago the Hon. S. C. Gale invested one thousand dollars at seven per cent. This seven per cent, or seventy dollars he gave as a prize to the Central High School, of Minneapolis. It was to he awarded to that member of the graduating class, who should write and deliver, on Commencement Night, the best original English oration or essay. The topics upon which the orations for this year were to be written, are: The Story of Four Centuries, 1492-189-; The Duty of a State in Case of a Strike Modern Science; A Typical American Character; Athletics; Exclusion of the Chinese. The essays were to be written upon one of the following subjects: Women at the Columbian Exposition; Modern Methads of Benevolence; Dame Fashion and Her Slaves; Queen Isabella; Shakespeare’s Women; Benevolence. There were some twelve who wrote for the prize. The judges who were to mark these orations and essays were two gentlemen and a lady. Of course those who had written for the prize were continually in a fever heat until it was announced who were the lucky three, who were to deliver their productions on Commencement Night. But one of the judges, for very good reasons, probably, delayed for a long time, at least so it seemed to the competitors, to mark the essays and so we didn’t see the standings for several weeks after the usual time of announcement. At last, however, the decision came. The highest standing was given to an essay on “Queen Isabella,” bv “ Hispaniola,” otherwise Flora Brewer. The next highest standing was given by the judges to an oration on “ A Typical American Character—Abraham Lincoln,” by “ Hopeful,” that is, Fred White. The third rank was gained by the oration of “John Johnson”—Wesley Evans— on the subject, “ The Duty of the State in Case of a Strike.” Of course some were disappointed, but all had been prepared not to receive 50 the prize and so the grief wasn’t so very poignant after all; but the joy of the lucky ones was all the greater. It remains yet to be seen who will deliver his work l)cst. This, it seems to all of us. will be very hard, indeed, for the judges to decide, for all of these three have been noted in the school, and out of it also, as especially good in their delivery. Many felicitations to the happy, fortunate winner. In 18S6 the evening Journal gave a sum of one hundred dollars, to be given every year in prizes to the graduating class of the Central High School, under the following conditions: “The amount shall be divided into three cash prizes of fifty, thirty, and twenty dollars each, to be awarded on commencement Night. “ The three sums shall be awarded for general excellence in scholarship during the High School course. The first amount, fifty dollars, shall be given to the pupil having the highest average standing for all of the four years work. The thirty dollars shall be given to the memljer of the class having the next highest standing, and the twenty dollars to the one having the third highest standing. These standings shall be taken from the records kept in the office of the Principal of the Central High School and shall only include work in this school or other High schools of this City. Pupils, who have taken the four years’course, shall have the records of the whole course averaged, in determining their standings; and no pupil shall be elegible to the Journal prizes, who has not completed at least three years’ work in the High School or in one of the High Schools of this City.” Out of a class of about eighty-five, twenty-two were above ninety in their average standing. This, it seems, must show either remarkable intelligence or remarkable industry on the part of the members of the class of 93, but the standing obtained by Katharine Kennedy is an absolute proof of both. In looking over her ranks hundred after hundred will appear, with but very few nineties and no eighties. Probably you can very nearly guess her rank. It was ninety-seven and forty-seven hundredths. This is the highest rank obtained by any member of any class of our High School. William Parker had the next highest stand ing. Bessie Fish was third in rank and hers will be the third prize. One of the arguments against Women’s Suffrage is that the mental ability of women isn’t as great as that of men and therefore they can’t do the mental labor of men. Unless the mental ability of the girls from this School deteriorates very sadly, or that of the boys increases very remarkably, this argument certainly cannot hold. Of the twenty-two scholars who ranked above ninety per cent, nineteen were girls. Have you ever noticed how, from year to year, the prizes have almost iuvariably been given to the girls; how the ranks of those above ninety have nearly all l een those of the girls? 51 It lias been customary,ever since these Journal prizes have been given,to have the one receiving the first, deliver the farewell of the class to its teachers and school on Commencement Night. This, we are sure, Miss Kennedy will do in such a manner that we could have wished for no one else to do it for us. The person receiving the second highest rank has been the salutatorian of the class. This honor falls to Mr. Parker, who will certainly make all of our schoolmates, teachers, and friends feel that the class of ’93 is honored by their presence. The person receiving the third highest rank has not been assigned any particular duty for Commecement Night; but she may certainly feel that the class is, indeed, proud of her rank. This year two prizes have been offered by the Times. One for the best declamation and one for the best work in the manual training course. The prize for oratory will be obtained in a slightly different manner from that in which the other prizes have been obtained. All of the four high schools will compete for it. Two pupils, a bov and a girl, have been chosen from each school. On the sixth of June the declamations will be given in one of the opera houses of the city. The judges will decide which has done the best. The one who excels will receive a prize of ten dollars. The two from our school who will compete will l e Edna Stock and Roland Wales. We are very hopeful for our school in this contest and if we receive the prize, the name of the victor will 1k‘ one of the most honored on our records. The prize in manual training will be for the best work in drawing and wood work and the l est scholarship in academic work for the first year’s work in the High School. The highest final average will entitle the pupil securing the same, to the prize. To be eligible to compete for this prize the pupils must be regular manual training scholars,and must complete the year’s work in two successive semesters. The work includes the regular academic work, as outlined in the course of study, the shop exercises, as given in the lesson tablets in use up to Exercise XXX inclusive, and drawing. All scholars in manual training who have complied with the above rules will be eligible candidates for the prize. The name of the winner will not be announced until the 6th of June, but we wish him joy, whoever he may be. May those, who have gained prizes in their school life, continue to do so until they have been awarded the very highest that the United States, the world, and God can give them. Tl?e Jdigl? $cfyool Orb. gift HIS school, like all first class institutions of its kind, supports a small periodi-X cal magazine, called the High School Orb. The school has supported this magazine for six years, or at least has tried to, and part of the time has succeeded. The publication of the Orb was begun in ’88, by some of the more enterprising members of that year’s class. That year four numbers were issued. The next year only two numbers were brought out. We do not know the reason for this drop. Perhaps the Orb was so much of a failure financially in '88 that it was thought prudent not to publish any more numbers. Perhaps two editions were all the class of ’81) had brains enough to get out. We do not venture to settle this point. The reader must decide for-------self. The circulation of the Orb two years ago was simply enormous, to quote from the Annual of that year, and it was partly on this account that it was un-advisableto publish as many numbers as the year before. Perhaps this enormous (?) circulation also accounted for the financial difficulty into which the paper fell that year. Last year the Orb was published monthly, from October to April, inclusive. In a literary way it was superior to anything which had previously appeared. This year nine numbers have been issued. The paper has been edited by Jonas Weil and a staff of seven, and managed by Warren Walker. It has been a grand success, both as a literary production and financially. Whatever can l e said of the juniors as a whole, the one who has had charge of the Orb this year is a decided success as an “ ad hustler. The Orb is brought out “on the second Wednesday of each month —according to the constitution. In reality it is brought out on on or about that day. Last year the surest way to get the editor angry was to ask him “when the Orb was coming out?” This year, however, the publication has been quite regular. We do not know whether the editor or the manager deserves commendation for this. Whichever of them does deserve it, will please consider himself commended. Usually the Orb sells like hot cakes. A pupil buys a copy, reads it with a broad grin on his face, and chuckles audibly, and when he has finished it remarks: “The Orb isn’t am good any more. Don’t see what I bought this one for.” But he always buys the next one, nevertheless. Some complain that the Orb is dull, but we never saw one yet that we could not extract five cents’ worth of laughter from. The editor of the Orb is a Senior, the business manager is a Junior. These officials are elected by their respective classes. The editor appoints as his staff three seniors, two juniors, one sophomore, and one freshman. lie also appoints one or two reporters from each room of the school. This is for his amusement purely, for we are informed that these reporters never furnish any news. We hope t � see the Orb keep steadily on in the march of improvement, for we are not so egotistical as to think that the work of our class can not be improved upon. In the name of the class we leave congratulations and sympathy to the next editor. 54- Corr)rr)cr)ccrr)cr)t Prograrr) of tl?e Class of '93. Music. 1.

The class night exercises this year are someting new, and it has been thought l cst. to enable all those present class night to understand what they see, togive a short explanation of the program. The class has decided this year to enact the feast given by Dido to Aeneas and his Trojans. Dido is the queen of Carthage, to which city Aeneas, a Trojan prince is driven by a storm while sailing from fallen Trov to Italy. He is given a splendid banquet by Dido; the banquet is characterized by the same kind of “after dinner speeches” which attend a modern entertainment. Aeneas, at the request of Dido, tells the story of his wandering since the fall of Troy, in his endeavor to reach Italy, “the land promised by the fates.” This tale must have taken up two or three hours at least, and Vergil relates that Aeneas told it “again, and again.” The modern Aeneas, however, is not so longwinded as the ancient one; he will tell his tale only once, and it will be too brief to weary any one. In reproducing this scene the class has been obliged to bring in many things which did not occur in the original, but the inconsistencies are slight. Dido, of course, presides over the feast. Bitias, her prime minister, makes the address of welcome. Aeneas gives the class history, the story of his four years’ wanderings in the high schools. Clotho, Lacliesis and Atropos, the three fates, and Helenas, a noted Trojan prophet, foretell the future of the assembled company. Achates, the most intimate friend of Aeneas, makes the class oration, while Anna, Dido’s sister, speaks of the mighty organization known as the V. V.s. Clio, the muse of history, has for her part the class poem. The program is varied by music, songs, libations to the Gods, etc. The class, of course, appears in the dress of the ancients. 56 Dido's Feast. DRAMA TIS PERSOW-K.

Most noble Bitias, welcome thou the Trojans to our land, as thou alone with thy commanding presence, thy lofty mien, thy inestimable grace, thy inimitable eloquence, canst do. Bitias. 0, Dido, most beautiful queen, it is given by the immortal gods to you to command, to me to obey. Oh, Trojans, descended from great Teucer, you are welcome, thrice welcome to the Tyrian shores. Often have we heard of your great deeds in war, both by land and sea, and we are much honored by your presence. Under the divine guidance of Jupiter omnipotent you have wandered now for four years, and, if report be true, you have, from the time you set sail, driven from the fallen walls of lofty Troy, endured many hardships, encountered many dangers, but now, at this feast, you are collected, a brave, a glorious band—oh, how short must those four years seem, for even now, looking back in my mind I can see you driven by the Grecian hordes, settidg sail for the fields of Latium, promised by the fates. Well, you remember (lor report has spread it abroad), that the oracle at Delphi foretold that you would pass through trials to triumph. Many of your trials have you already passed, your triumph is at hand. Of the future me thinks I see before me now many a great statesman, many a poet of nature and art; ah, what beautiful maidens are those who are the fated founders of that holy order of Rome, the Vestal Virginia, (in later times, if Helenus has told me true, they will be known as the V. V’s of 1)3). Of all thy band, 0 Trojans, I see not one who is not a trustworthy, a brave soul. Come, ye descendants of a hardy race, lay aside dull care, let pleasure lie vour quest; let each passing hour be filled with joy unalloyed. Let not your thoughts dwell on the morrow, upon trouble and distress—think of the birds, of the flowers, of youthful life; and well may ye rejoice, for my queen and her people bid ye welcome, 0 Trojans, welcome to the Tyrian shores. To you, friends of the class of’93, and of this noble institution of learning, the Minneapolis Central High School, in the name of my class-mates 1 extend a hearty welcome. We have finished our course in the high school; studied science, art, literature, history and the classics, and this evening, the time of our rejoicing, we gather, representing characters of those long past ages when Aeneas and Agamemnon ruled the world, when Dido and her Tyrians flourished in Carthage. Although dressed in the garb and manners of the past, yet we live in the present; therefore, should you notice any inconsistencies, pass them over, keeping in mind that we represent the present under the guise of the past. For four years we have worked hard to reach this goal, yet as it has been drawing nearer and nearer, day by day, although each one of us is anxious to leave this school, nevertheless it is with a feeling of sorrow that we now gaze for the last time as pupils around the well-known halls. An indescribable joyous sorrowfulness holds us spell-bound. 59 Here we see how. like the shining points of a twinkling star, the paths of life diverge; some leave this school for college, some for business and other paths of life, in all cases fitted for their respective tasks; we are prepared to enter upon the advanced branches of science, mechanics, languages, and, in fact, all those branches of learning which in this day and age go to make up a complete education; we have, according to some authorities received all that is necessary for commercial and mercantile pursuits, and for all these credit is due to you, citizens of Minneapolis, and to our teachers, of whom we shall always cherish pleasant recollections. Although at times, for our good, measures were taken, unpleasant to us, still in looking backward we are pleased to recall each trial, for the more the toil to gain laurels, the more the pleasure in renewing memories of the past. In this, our hour of rejoicing, may you each one share our pleasures, and in years to come may you recall in pleasant reveries, your youthful friends of the class of 1)3. You, 0 Trojans, ancestors of the coming Romans, may you ever joyous be. and may your lives be iree from sorrow, as much as the immortal gods have ever seen fit to allow unmarred pleasure to mortals. (fathered now you can with pleasure view each danger passed, eaeh duty performed; and well have you earned this joy. Before you each is a life to mold, some duty still to perform, for your labors are by no means finished, so onward and upward ever strive through trials to triumph. Now, banish all your cares, let each moment be a pleasure, “let joy be unconfined.” And again I fain would say, “Welcome, Trojans, welcome, ever welcome to the Tyrian realms!” Dido. O’ mighty Aeneas, I pray thee, relate now to us thy adventures and those of this company, that we may rejoice together in the memories of past years. Aeneas. At your request, most gracious Oueen, I will recount our wanderings. the trials and tribulations we have endured in the four years now past. Though it grieves and vexes me in spirit to recall some things we have suffered, nevertheless the gods have looked so favorably upon us in other respects that 1 am led to believe that there is something better in store for us in the future. After it seemed good to the supreme rulers of grammer grades that we should be driven out of homes that lnd been ours for years, we wandered for three months not knowing whither to direct our steps. But the great ruler of Olympus pitying us in our trouble sent down from heaven. Mercury, who came to me in my sleep and spoke thus:— “0, Aeneas, the supreme Father has ordained that on the third day before the Nones of September you shall assemble all your followers at a place known as the Central High School, at which time you will receive instructions concerning the future. Let this be our message.” 60 At the appointed time we came together, and after consulting the oracle, set out on our journey. In a short time we came to a place called the land of the Freshmen, of which many and various reports we had heard. This land was ruled over by two kings, one of whom was Martin, a descendant of Hoffman, the other Henry, one of the house of Loveland. We were received kindly by these two and were entreated to remain and take up our abode with them, and as our fleet was greatly in need of repairs we were glad to accept their hospitality. These two kings were wondrous wise in things pertaining to knowledge of books and it was their custom to insist upon all strangers coining to their shores to take up their studies with them. Thus it came abou -, 0 Dido, that we took up the study of a science called Algebra in which results were obtained by use of characters. At that time we thought, and some of us still think, that the genius by whom the system was perfected might have spent his time more profitably. We were also instructed in the language of our forefathers, and were told many things with regard to this earth. Now these two kings besides being anxious to teach were also anxious to ascertain how much of their teachings were remembered, therefore they held, what were termed examinations twice yearly. (), Dido, unless you have had a similar experience, little can you imagine with what sorrow and heaviness of heart we thought of these examinations. (), the many weary hours and the long sleepless nights we spent in preparation. But I recall one day duringanexamination when the king, Ilenry, in order that our labor might be lightened, brought to us a box of that most delicious fruit, the orange. Long shall he live in our memory for this kind deed. After we had finished our examinations it was proposed that we take a short trip in our fleet. Scarcely were we out of sight of land when a storm arose driving the ships in all directions. The clouds took away the light and in the darkness the ships were lost. When the light returned we looked far over the sea for our companions, but could see nothing. Then we prayed to Father Neptune to give us a safe voyage and especially to return our allies safely to us. For three mouths we sailed, passing through perilous and dangerous trials; and Phoebus was lighting the earth with his torch and scattering the mist from the heavens when the faithful Achates from the highest part of the stern, gave a joyful shout for he saw in the distance, drawn up on the shore, the ships of our comrades. Then eagerly the sailors bent to the oars and swept up the sea. They, seeing us coming, came forth to meet us and we were overjoyed at finding our companions. After we had landed, we set about to explore the land and soon came upon some men of the land who told us that this was the land of the Sophomores. 61 Having assured them that our mission was peaceful they offered to lead us to their queen who was Emma, daughter of Trevette. We were approaching the palace and now were entering the doorway, when suddenly “I stood astounded, my hair stuck in my throat and my voice stood on end.” And with reason, for there stood the queen, in size like unto a Cyclop, and, as we afterward found neither kind in look nor pleasant in speech to those who would not study. But nevertheless, 0 Dido, there never was a better or more thorough teacher or one more liked by her pupils. As has been mentioned it was also the custom in this land to study and be taught. We were given more instruction in the tongue of our ancestors and a book to read which one Ca?sar had written. Would that he had died before he began it! It was commonly reported by tradition that he had written it while riding on horseback, which we were very willing to believe. Also we studied History which told us of the deeds of our ancestors, from the beginning of the world. We likewise studied a science called Pin sics, which treated of subjects deep and mysterious of which we knew very little and cared still less. While in this land the queen gave us the rule of the three “G’s,” which is quite as important as that of the three “R’s.” And these are the “(Vs,” “Grit,” “Grip” and “Gumption.” You may apply them as seems best to you. Another rule was this: ” Hold all I give you and catch all you can.” We had studied so hard on our Latin, particularly, that we could hold a large quantity, but there were a number of us who caught it where the chicken caught the ax. There was a subdivision of this land ruled over by one Fred, descendant of Shepherd. He was a man small in stature, but having a fierce expression of countenance which expression was intensified by a mustache large enough for three men. Not having spent much time in his kingdom I cannot give a detailed account of his peculiarities. And now ten months had almost passed and we had suffered two examinations when I was advised by Jupiter in a dream to depart from this region and seek new lands. Therefore, after bidding the queen farewell we set out on our jouiney under the leadership of the great Jupiter. We were led through many strange lands for the space of three months, until in the early part of the month of Septemlier we came to the land known as the abode of the Juniors. This land was presided over by one Marion, of the tribe of Shaw, who had great fame as a writer. 62 In this country we continued the study of our forefather’s tongue, studying the works of a great orator, Cicero by name. Besides this we were taught to speak and write more correctly in our own tongue. And last but not least we were instructed in the science of Geometry. Of all the things we had thus far met with, this was by far the worst. For instance, Queen Dido, this is a sample of what we were expected to do. To prove that two points determine the position of a straight line, conversly that three or more points determine the position of a crooked line. Thus may be seen what a task we had and how happy we were when we finished it can be better imagined than described. There was one feature about our work there that was very pleasant. We were allowed to form ourselves into what was called a society, the purpose of which was to perfect ourselves in public speaking. Once a week a few were permitted to inflict themselves upon the others and before a year had passed we all became so proficient that infliction was quite endurable and almost pleasant. Desiring to know more about the future the oracle was consulted and we were informed that the the time allotted for us in that land was over and that we must again take up our journey. Following the advice of the oracle we wandered until we came to a beautiful land. Being desirous of learning the name of the place, we entered the gates and were met by one John, of the house of Sanford, who was the “tutetarv divinity” of the place. He told us that this was the goal of earthy ambition, the lofty abode of the mighty Seniors and entreated us that we would remain with him. We were beguiled by his smooth words and took up our abode with him. Under the instruction of this John the majority of us took up the study of the works of the Latin poet Vergil and some also took up Greek. Then aside from this we were instructed in our own language, its history and some of our great writers. It remains for me to speak of two other studies, Chemistry and Astronomy. And these two were the most abominable, detestable, execrable, diabolical and incomprehensibly awful of all the studies that we had pursued. In the former we were sent to a little room where we mixed various compounds, and the smell arising from these mixtures was of such a direful nature that travelers in passing had good reason to think that the “descent to Avernus was easy” and that they were approaching the very gates of Ilades. In the latter we were taught many things concerning the heavenly bodies and the statements made were so profound, startling and astonishing that they could not l e “chewed and digested,” but were simply swallowed. I cannot refrain. 0 Dido, from speaking a few words about the “tutelary divinity ” of the place. 3 To see him teaching his Greek and Latin classes one would think him possessed, he reminded one of the poet, “his eyes in fine frenzy rolling,” the only difference being that he rolled his hands and feet too. Now this John had made it a rule that during certain hours of the day there should be no whispering, and for those who transgressed the punishment was supposed to be immediate and terrible. How often have we heard a dialogue similar to this: “Morton, were you whispering ? ” “Well, I-----” “Answer me. Yes, or no?” “ Yes.” “ Well, suppose you go down and tell Mr. Greer all about it. 1 know he’ll be glad to see you.” And now, most beautiful queen, before I close permit me to tell something of my illustrious band : There is our great time consuming orator Evans, whom neither tears nor groans aftect, and whose “ words flowed sweeter than honey from his tongue” at the time he volunteered his services as a committeeman. And there is the one and only Joe, he who uses many words and says very little. And there is Bessie, one of the maidens, who is so noisy that no one is allowed near her. And also Agnes must be alone in order that she may be silent. And there is Esli, the smiling one, who has a large variety of smiles, but reserves one, infinitely more tender than the others, for a certain maiden. Need I mention the name? And n w as to the future nothing can be known until the Fates speak and thus having told the story of my wanderings, 1 will cease speaking, and will become silent as to my face. Dido. Ye fates, mysterious and wonderful,—yours is the gift of clear vision. Thou, Clio, lookestback into the Past; thou, Leehesis, dealest with the present; and thou, Atropos, seest far into the Future. Yet now, because of the special significance and unparalleled importance of this hour, Fortune hast given each equal power to prophesy of the future. Therefore, Clotho, tell us what thou seest. Clotho. Through the kindness of my classmates, I have been charged with the pleasant though somewhat vexing duty, of going out upon a voyage for discovering the future course of certain of their members. As Clotho’s skill lies in portraying past events, I found it necessary to look to the past for the purpose of securing search-lights requisite to an exploration of the future. Having turned these lights to the front, and by their aid noted the history disclosed, I am now able to state “ what was” in the after life of many of the class of ’OS. Soon after graduating, Grace Haselhurst went on a visit to New York City. Here she married the greatest “catch” of the season, an Italian count. They had a very brilliant wedding and a tour through Europe, but upon arriving in Italy, she discovered to her sorrow that he had only borrowed the titlc“Count ” for the 64- occasion and was really an “organ grinder.” Hut cheerfully resigned to her fate, she persuaded her husband to abandon his profession, and together they have es-tablished a macaroni factory. After searching in vain for pupils in painting, Bessie Fish accompanied an Arctic explorer to the North pole. Here she found such beautiful and varied scenery that she decided to remain and give painting lessons to the Esquimaux. Lucie Haseltine accompanied her on this voyage and established there a branch of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. She undoubtedly did much good, for she is now contemplating making her home there. One of the most prominent young men in the social world is Willard Keyes, called Ward MacAllister II. Fond mammas beam upon him at all hours of the day, and each one is sure of him as a prospective son-in law. Hut he resists all fair captivators, and is still living a life of single blessedness and writing an autobiography entitled, “The Life of a Society Leader.” Jessie Eaton, after making her debut at Washington, married the Chinese Embassador, and now resides in the “ Flowery Kingdom.” She is much beloved by her large circle of Chinese friends, and particularly noted for the delightful receptions which she gives quite frequently, and to which all of her American friends are cordially invited. After many attempts Alma Klarquist obtained permission of “The Hoard ” to start a lunch counter in the High School. Here she disposed of pies, cakes, candies and crackers in great numbers. Finally, with her sister Bed a, she went into a larger establishment, until now they have one of the largest restaurants in the country. I have heard that the “ Minneapolis High School Lunch Counter” was continued after Miss Klarquist retired from it. One of our members has secured the everlasting gratitude of all High School scholars. Much to the surprise of his many friends, Hector Barnes, after graduating, settled down and made a minute study of electricity, lie soon discovered that by applying electrodes to a certain part of the head a peculiar effect was produced upon the brain tissue. By a complicated action,understood only by the inventor himself, lessons can now be learned by electiicitv. It is managed on a principle somewhat similar to the telephone system. For a small price connections can be made with anv study taught in the Minneapolis High School. Zeros are now a thing of the past. The novels of Frances Jenness are read all over the country. She has attained a great reputation by her stories for girls. For a time she wrote under a “110m de plume,” but after her fame had become assured, she laid aside her disguise and made her debut in the literary world. As great men die. others are always growing up to take their places. Our class furnished an unusually large number of tluse, and among the greatest was Jesse Shuman, who succeeded Remenvi as the greatest violinist of the world. 11 is appearances in Minneapolis are always anticipated with interest by the High 65 School students, tor every year he gives a benefit for the Senior Class, the proceeds of which,it is strictly understood in advance, are to be used for class socials. Our Valedictorian, Katharine Kennedy, made a complete study of all the modern languages, and accordingly is much sought after on account of her brilliant conversation. Her occupation, however, is translating all of the popular songs into these different tongues. She has already amassed a fortune by her skillful work in this line. Alfred Harrison has a brilliant career before him as a bicycle rider. lie will first make the circuit of the world in the extraordinary time of ninety days. Then, after easily defeating all of the world’s famous riders, he, like Alexander, will “sigh for other worlds to conquer.” But finding none, he will at last, together with Willis Guilford, whose achievements in the pugilistic line have far eclipsed those of the once renowned Corbett, accept a position with a theatrical company. After entertaining the public for several years and thereby gaining large fortunes, they will retire from public life, and in their turn, like all other great men in their line, sink into oblivion. One of the members of our class has been of great benefit to at least one class of people, and she has also been highly successful in a new and original line of business. Looking over the advertisements of the various merchants ot the city, at the end of each you will invariably see the following startling announcement: “Not a woman in the city can afford to miss the wonderful bargains of Messrs. Blank Co., and in order to help every one to attend them, Miss Mary Herrick, with her numerous assistants, will, for the nominal sum of ten cents an hour, take care of and amuse any baby left at her rooms in the “Labor Temple.” We understand that Miss Herrick receives a daily commission from the merchants for her services, and from her original business besides, she has already realized a large sum. George Johnson, seized with a desire for discovery, started out on a voyage. But after wandering for about ten years and finding nothing new, he came back to America and is now at work on a map of the world, which will far outshine any previous one. It is the year 1610. The class of ’93 of the M. II. S. has assembled from all parts of the world. The cause of this gathering marks a new era in the world’s civilization. The life efforts of Charles Heffelfinger have at last been rewarded by the completion of the world’s greatest invention, an air ship, which so completely defies the forces of nature that it can spread its wings, soar aloft and watch the earth move by. It is said by those who know Mr. Hcft'clfinger best, that his sole object in making this a life study was that future generations might, by avoiding unnecessary delay in traveling, make a greater numljer of fraternity engagements in the short time allotted to one, and also verify statements as to national reputation, etc. Bessie Garfield and Nellie Gleeson, not approving of all the methods of teaching employed in their school days, decided that by combining their ideas they could 66 establish a school whereby all such objectionable features would be eliminated. This school met with great success and was fast outshining all others of a similar kind, when, disagreeing on the subject of co-education, the principals decided to abolish it. None of the class of ’93 will be surprised to learn that James Garvey, after leaving High School, took a special course in manual training. He is now traveling over the country lecturing upon the advantages and the necessity of teaching manual labor in all public schools. Being ambitious to become famous in public life, and deciding that this could best be attained in one of the learned professions, Fred White chose the law. After pursuing his studies in the usual way for the usual time, with the usual result, he was “called to the bar.” The last heard of him he was waiting to be “ called ” by his clients. � • Dido. And Lechcsis, what hast thou to reveal? Lcchcsis. Dear friends, I have with me this evening a parchment, which was presented me during a recent conversation with an ancient philosopher. Before being intrusted with this inspired writing, i was compelled to take a solemn oath not to break the seal or in any way inquire into the contents of the manuscript until the month Siven, in the year 5653, at the feast of Dido and her attendants, which he foresaw was to occur on this evening, as it is the guests of this occasion whom his writings concern. Long and tedious have been my hours of waiting. How many times have I yearned to break this seal and feast my eyes on the writings which it secures! But 1 have resisted the temptation and at last the hour has come whe.i I am to be rewarded. From henceforth let no man say a woman cannot hold her curiosity in check. 1 will now proceed to read without further comment the writings of my friend, the sage. Whatever it may bring to you of jov or sorrow, I pray you give your concentrated attention that you may profit by the truths which it unfolds. PROPHECY. Not many days hence there will appear among you a huge man, powerful both in mind and body, by name Joe Morton. He will tell you of a beautiful land, which he has visited and will urge you to follow him thither. You will at first refuse but Jane kedfield will add her eloc|uence to his and who could resist the united efforts of two such earnest pleaders? What a lovely pair they are! She with her queenly grace and gentle manners, he with his stately tread and strong athletic lrame! Mr. Mills is the first to second the movement and Miss Kinsell soon follows in her foot-steps, for they say, “ Variety, the very spice of life and adventure, is the one thing lacking to make our song of life complete.” The journey is a pleasant one, but fraught with misfortune, for one among your number falls out on the way. As you near a beautiful spot in a dense forest, 67 Alice Penny is overcome with fatigue and cries, “I will go no farther, but will end my days in peace and solitude by this lovely brook.” So there she sits on a moss covered rock and warbles in tender strains until dull care is driven far away and she is left alone by the murmuring brooks. Stella, the star, will follow you as a light to guide you on your way. But though Miss May hew makes the paths of others so much more pleasant, her own is filled with stone. You will find at your journey’s end a beautiful city, on a broad, clear river, and stretching in unbroken loveliness for miles along either bank, with every facility for enjoying yourselves in the way of pleasure drives, magnificent parks and crystal lakes. All this and more, a perfect climate. The name? Surely you do not need to ask. In the midst of all this loveliness, you will build your homes and prepare to spend the remainder of your days. The Misses McGregor and Rogers, two ancient maidens, will start a boarding school for young ladies, in which special attention is paid to etiquette and where strict rules on whispering are made and enforced by Miss Rogers. They have as their assistants the Misses McDowell, Miss Minnie asteacherof Geometry and Rozella of Ancient History. Miss Porcher gives weekly lectures to the young ladies on 44 Woman’s Sphere in the 20th Century.” Mr. Wm. Roberts is seen to make frequent calls at the establishment and the question arises, which of the spinsters, McGregor or Rogers is the magnet. This question must remain unanswered for the old gentleman’s mind is itself a little unsettled on the point. Miss Perry is the counsellor of all the young and inexperienced matrons in regard to their household duties, the preparation of simple remedies and the care of that tender delicate article, a husband. Mr Parker is an industrious law student, but it is doubtful whether he will ever be more than a student. The fault lying not in the quantity but in the quality of his arguments. He can talk for half an hour and at the end of that time leave no impression on the minds of his hearers other than that he has been speaking. On one of the poorer business streets of the city is a small, low building, bearing the sign, ‘‘Henry Knoblaugh, Cobbler-Work Hone Neatly and With Dispatch.” To the right of this thriving establishment is one similar in outward appearance, but occupied by a branch sewing machine office. Mr. Lawrence is the principal agent and Miss Dann is emploved as instructor. This is quite suited to the lady’s taste, as so much of her time can be spent in promenading the principal business streets. Miss Poehler is the happy mistress of a neat little cottage where she may brighten the hearth-stone of a hard working farmer. We next come to one whose pathway through life has no shadows but all sunshine. Mr. Xestler is supremely happy with a prominent member of the V. Y.’s ever by his side. 58 He and Miss Hale may be seen almost any pleasant day wandering from house to house. She chanting in a high.clear soprano, he accompanying her with strains from an accordeon. In this way they gain their livelihood from theslender offerings of a forbearing public. Mr. Love has written several extensive works, but the time taken for the writing is as nothing compared with the time spent in a wearying and unfruitful search for some publishing house to bring out his works for him. At lasthegives up in despair and turns his attention to polities. This he finds to l e hiscalling in life, for he soon becomes “ Speaker of the House,” and keeps up his splendid career to the end. But here the manuscript comes to a close and those of the party whose names have not appeared in the pages must not think they have listened in vain but profit by having heard the fates of their companions. Dido. Achates, the silver tongued,—for thy fame has long been spread abroad,—entertain 11s now, I pray thee, with thy eloquence, that all may judge for themselves that thy fame is not undeserved. Achates. Greetings to you, most l eautiful Dido; greetings to you, most illustrious Carthaginians. How gladly do we partake of your generous hospitality after our various toils and wanderings; how trladlv do we sit at your beautiful table after the privations and struggles of the past four years. Achates, in the name ot his fellow comrades, thanks you most heartily for your royal welcome, and he prays that the blessings of the gods may reward you for your compassion and generosity. Forlorn and in darkness have we left our beloved city, Troy, our place of worship, in which we first opened our eyes to the wide world before us; Troy, where in our infancy was planted the seed of reverence, of tenacity, of victory, of triumph. Vet, 0I1, men of Carthage, it has pleased the gods above to smite our beloved Troy, to fill all corners of the earth with groans, and even heaven itself with weeping, prayers and sad remembrances of our persecuted and oppressed people. Oh, Troy, thou once concpieror of the world, thou hast ] erished by the hands of slaves, of base minions of the gods! Vanish, ye gloomy thoughts and remembrances, vanish; and, oh ye gods, supply our hands with such power and our hearts with such love as will enable 11s to plant temples in every place, to erect once more a refuge for the oppressed, a safeguard for liberty. Dislodge,'oh supreme rulers, from our minds those woes of the past, and infuse into us such hopes as may give 11s strength and endurance for a new life. How are we to accomplish that purpose for which we are struggling? Is it by stratagem? Is it bv pursuing the paths of pleasure? Is it by supinely allowing ourselves to be carried along by circumstance? Xo! It is by patient determined endeavors, by taking our destinies in our own hands and carving out our 69 paths by our own efforts that we can attain success. Therefore, oh gracious queen, we have adopted as the motto of our life’s purpose such a sentiment as even the immortals might be proud to follow. This motto which forms the very keystone to success is,“Through Trials to Triumph.” What better motto could men and women adopt, who have the greater part of life’s journey before them? There is not one of us who exacts to achieve success at the threshold of his career. Ifhedid,lie would receive a grievous disappointment, and his whole after life might be marred by the heavy blow which his over confidence had received in his youth. Iiut he who knows that trials await him, he who knows that triumph is bought by bitter trials, will prepare himself with calm and patient resolution, fearlessly but humbly leaping into the midst of his difficulties and grasping them with the stern resolve to conquer or to die in the attempt. He is the man who truly follows this motto in its best sense, he it is to whom the world looks for advancement and progress. Every success in the world’s history has been obtained by those who, never losing sight of the obstacles which beset their pathway, by unceasing toil, cut their way to glory, honor, and all that makes life noble and profitable. Thus,0 Carthaginians, should we do, always pressing onward, never turning aside for any unworthy object, building up such a position by our own exertion, by our own sacrifice, that we shall be honored in the sight of both God and man. He not cast down, O Fellow Exiles; arm yourselves for the coming struggle with true manly vigor, and I foresee in the dim future such triumphs as would put life into the very clay. The eternal gods have so decreed that the present should seem so uninviting and so forbidding that you may more highly appreciate the brilliant future awaiting you. Therefore, arouse yourselves, grasp every opportunity, turn every repulse and defeat to advantage by learning how to endure them ; do not bend to every hostile pressure; but sturdily press on; onward against opposing forces. Let this motto be your watchword in battle array. Let it be engraved on the blades of your swords, and the enemy will fall before them, like grass under the midday sun. Let it be inlaid upon your armor, and our breasts will not be pierced by their arrows. Let it be imprinted upon vour bosoms and you will stand triumphantly on the heart of your defeated enemy. Let your lives be spotless as the driven snow, so that when in the future a great poet shall sing your deeds, he may find you worthy of his pen. Other heroes will arise in the great hereafter, whose deeds may rival yours, but their memory will fade away, while yours remains bright in immortal verse. Therefore I earnestly implore you, Live, that it may be truly said of you, “your lives were spotless and without stain.’’ I seem to see the dome of heaven open above me, disclosing to my awestricken gaze the very depths of its pearly recesses. The whole heaven seems lit up with celestial splendor. A wondrous landscape lies before me and over it flit immortal spirits, shades of the mighty future, who will one day rule or lx ruled 70 on this turbulent earth. Numerous as the sands of the sea, are they; but, O, how few of them seem distinguished above tlie rest. Only here and there do I see one truly great above his fellow shades. A C.-esar, of your blood, oh great Aeneas, will one day shake the earth with his mighty genius, but, high Olympus! ambition, that monster devil will tear his heart asunder. Near by stands a kindred spirit, Charlemagne, who with his vigorous Teutons, will snatch the torch of civilization from dying Rome and bear it aloft for future ages. In solitary grandeur I see a Columbus, the discoverer of a new world, a world which will one day honor him, as none before him will ever be honored. There are the outlines of a Bismarck, that stern Titan, by whose iron hand petty fragments of nations will be erected into a vast and mighty empire. There appears to be written on the zenith of the heavens a name in stars of red, white and blue, that name Washington, which will ever remain as a symbol of pure, devoted patriotism, a name that will forever remain stamped upon the hearts of his people. Lincoln, the liberator of an oppressed race, and whose pathway to the immortals will be lightened by the smiles of their black visages. Shakespeare, a mighty painter of characters. The savage war cry of the Teutons will be changed to the sweet sounds of Beethoven and Wagner and Mendelsohn. All these and numerous others pass before me in sublime and wonderful procession, dazzling my eyes with thesplendorof their greatness. But, not one of them shall obtain his greatness without suffering and toiling; and shall we be weaker than they? Shall we alone be too tender for the storms and buffetings of life’s journey? Surely we will not be so base. We will be worthy followers of our chosen motto. If we cannot .all be great we can at least be useful, and he, who by his disinterested kindness helps others in their distress, can be truly said to be “ great ’ Let us all then, steadfastly, keep in mind through life the motto adopted in youth; Ictus firmly and patiently receive the reverses of our lives, and success will surely follow; and when we have attained those victories, let us make such noble and generous use of them that the world will be better for our having lived in it. Let us all be able to say when we come to the end of life’s journey, “ I have never shirked a duty, I have always helped others and done what was right, to the best of my ability. ” And then we can honestly say, “Through Trials to Triumph. ” Again Achates begs leave to thank you, most beautiful Dido, for your generous feast, and he sincerely hopes that each one of this brilliant assembly will live such a life of good and noble deeds that when he goes to join the company of the blessed, his memory will be lovingly cherished by his numerous friends, as one who has never turned from success because the way was obstructed by difficulties. (Music.) Dido. And thou, Atropos, acquaint us now with thy vision of the future. Atropos. Strangers, I stand before you tonight as a representative of an age which you all admire, and the influence of which is still powerful among you. For many years I interpreted the revelations of divine will at Dodona. One day, as I sat idly listening to the voices of the leaves, as the old oaks swayed gently to and fro, I heard distinctly these words: “Harken, 0 great interpreter of the fates of men, to your own most wonderful destiny. It shall come to pass that many centuries hence you will foretell the fates of the most remarkable j eo-ple of the world. • Now, in the year of the world 5893, there will reign, in a famous temple of learning far away, a great and noble monarch of much wisdom and understanding; and among his many subjects will be a great company of oung men and fair young virgins called, for want of a better name, ‘ Class of ’93.' And these shall be exceeding wise, and therefore greatly beloved by their king, all whose other subjects will despise understanding and instruction. “And it shall come to pass as the king shall look from the window of his beautiful temple upon the many foolish people below, that he will desire in his heart to impart unto them some of his own wisdom; and he shall call to himself the Class of ’93, and shall speak unto them, saying: Behold now, prepare yourselves to go to the ends of the earth to scatter wisdom to the dwellers thereof. Go your ways and do with your might whatsoever your hands find to do.’ “Now when the king shall have spoken these words the young men and maidens will be sore afraid and much troubled and will speak among themselves saying: ‘What can we do when we are no longer directed by our good king? Would that we had lived in an age when the future might be declared unto us.” “ It is then, O interpreter, that thou shalt, by an unseen power, be brought before them and shalt speak to them these words: ‘Harken, O great and wise ‘Class of ’93,’to the words of a seer, who many centuries ago, learned your fates, from an oracle of great renown. Behold, Ruth, the beautiful and much beloved queen of your class, who is a direct descendant of King Cole, will go forth to reign as queen of her own household and all who know her. Albert Weber will enter a famous baseball company where he will become a proficient scientist. For he will see more stars in a minute than he did through all his laborious research with the High School telescope, and use more chemical compounds than he learned during his whole course in chemistry. Among vour maidens is one Caplin, which is, being interpreted, a fish. Many nets will be cast for her which will always be brought back empty; but her Meeker friend will be carried away in triumph by a young and prosperous merchant. “ ‘ Esther Ellison will discover the long sought for cure of consumption, thus making her name famous, and securing a snug little fortune for her reward. “ And Roy, called Ferner, perhaps because of his trade, will devote his life to tliecultivation of ferns. He will gather ferns from all over the world, but will reject all such as go bv the name ‘ Maiden’s Hair.' “ ‘ There is one Grace, surnamed Blancher, who will become a healer of the sick; and Filbert, whose wealth will rival that of Jay Gould, will assist her in founding a hospital called Refuge for Disabled Members of the Minneapolis Central High School Athletic Association. Here Baker, after nearly losing his life in the Association, will find a quiet and happy home. “‘And Lillian, called Trafton, will unfortunately choose for a husband a man whose sole aim in life will l e to construct a ship for the navigation of space. He will persuade his wife and family to try one of his inventions, and both family and ship will be lost to the poor inventor, who, for the loss of the latter, will die of much grief. Chase will become the hero and idol of the forgetful scholar by inventing a small pocket machine, by means of which, things which have been once brought before the mind may be recalled. This will necessitate only one reading of a lesson, and will also do away with the bad habit of writing notes on the culfs and linger nails. ‘“Lost, Babes in the Woods.’ These words will head an article in an early edition of the Journal. On reading it carefully you will discover that the babes are no other than Mary Ward and Lizzie Higgins, who have gone into the woods to find a spot where they may study their beloved Greek without being annoyed by the familiar remark, ‘Higgins, Higgins.’ Frank Faude will become an eloquent preacher of the Gospel, and among those of his flock will be one Bess, sweet daughter of Ridgeway, and these two being greatly pleased with each other will depart together to a foreign country to instruct the heathen. “‘And Emma, who is also called Heffner, will depart to another temple of learning to live for a while a loyal subject of King Shephard, but, remembering the many foolish still in her native city, will return and beseech King Greer to allow her to enter his temple and instruct them, and the King will take her in with rejoicing. “ One of the largest and finest buildings that our city will ever own will be that known as the Cracker and Gingersnap Store of the Central High School. This will be the work of our classmate Olive Bell, who during her four years of school life, was compelled to feel most strongly the need of such an institution. “‘One of our number, known as Anderson, will much admire a beautiful and wealthy maiden and wish to make her his wife, but fearing that he lacks in eloquence he will hire Jonas, also called Weil, to plead his case, and Jonas will, as did John Alden of old, himself carry of!' the beautiful Priscilla. “ Helen Camp and Hattie Chcal,both devoted members of that famous society' known as the‘V. V.’s of 93,’ will devote their lives to its cause,proving the falsity of the old and popular belief that girls cannot keep a secret. ’’ And here endeth the interpretation of the seer. Dido. Great Helenas, chiefest among prophets,— thou who lookest with thy clear and penetrating eye far into the Future,— tell us what thou seest in store for us, and for our companions. 73 Ilclenus. In thinking over the matter of the prophecy, I discovered my inability to portray the future occupations of the members of this class. Such a task required more fore-sight than the writer possessed. While in a quandary about the matter, I received from my dear old friend, Chauncey Depew, a letter, saying that in as much as he had many times heard of the class and also knew the task it was my lot to perform, and realizing the difficulty, he begged to offer a suggestion; namely: That the persons in this section of the class write their names and addresses on a piece of paper; also that they state a few facts about color of hair, eves, etc. These, together with fifty cents for a three months'subscription to the “ Weekly Blizzard ”—his new paper— would insure a faithful prediction of the events to happen in each one’s life. By special arrangement with an “Oriental Sibyl” this unparalleled offer was made. Here was the chance of a life-time; quickly all the members of this section were interviewed. All seemed glad to lend a hand; while they thus helped me out, they increased the circulation of the Blizzard and obtained satisfaction for tliem-sel ves. It was of course arranged to have the replies sent to one j erson; they finally reached my hands and were opened and recorded. It is now the proper time to see what is to be the future destiny of these individuals. In the beginning it must be distinctly understood that the writer is not responsible for the opinions expressed in the replies of the Prophetess. Number one proved to be concerning Agnes Beklen, it reads about as follows: This person shows great executive power, evidently fitted to control a Ladies' Purchasing Agency, much ability for picking out jewelry, especially pins; reduced rates are secured on all articles selected by her. Secret societies contemplating the purchase of pins should consult with Miss Belden at once. Flora Brewer displays marked oratorical powers. These, however, will not lie known to the world at large, and in her future duties in the Sandwich Islands, she will have little time to think of such matters. The University boys will no doubt visit her there as often as once a week. D. Wesley Evans, “African Explorer.” These words will be written on the gilded dome of fame in red paint. The world will watch his movements in the “ Dark Continent,” where lie will go to search for material for his book on—“Six Months in the Philomathean Society,” or “What I know on Parliamentary Rules.” lie will also look for a place to bury hissmile; it will be found too heavy for business wear and tear. “A New Starin Women's Sphere;” theNorth Poleat Last! Reached by Woman” —after overcoming tremendous obstacles, attended by a band of youths under the command of Hector, Genevieve Clarke will raise the “ Stars and Strijjes on the North Pole;” she will not, it is understood, lecture on her return. This is to be regretted. Poetry is surely the forte of Claire Findley. Her admirable sonnets on Spring 74 will occupy an enviable place in the literature of the world. These poems will also be used quite extensively by the government, in rain making experiments. It is remarked in the next reply, that the two letters sent on were evidently written by the same j)erson; since this is so, the prophecy has been made to include the two names. Mildred Kellogg and our smiling president, Esli Sutton. Long may they both live, and never tire of standing on the front steps. Miss Kellogg’s vocal abilities will “keep the wolf from the door” and Esli will do the washing. He will patent a new hoop skirt, warranted not to rip, tear, ravel or pull down at the heel. During the summers to come many of the poor children of the city will enjoy the fresh air excursions chaperoned by Echo Simmons. They will also manifest an eager desire to discuss the realm of 44 metaphysical science.” From the boldness of the writing of the next letter, a love of adventure is shown. It is clear that Mabel Sawyer will file a claim in Idaho or Wyoming (where she may again be a victorious voter) on which to angle fish for the angling parties of the coming V. Y.’s Sand burs for the goat will also be cultivated. How clearly the born leader shows himself as the reflection of the sun on a rusty horse shoe, so will the radiance c f Rollin Spencer, the ‘‘Grand Exalted Ruler of the Sons of Rest,” dazzle the eyes of the tender-foots. Laura Sikes will in all probability establish a ‘Detective Bureau;’ for the purpose of running down all the unkind remarks about the Y. Y.’s. The coming leader of the ‘Dress Reform” movement, is Frances Tobin, who will also preside over the deliberations of the “Anti-Crinoline League.” George Towler, after being married, will assume the duties of a sewing machine agent. His winning way and pleasant smile will aid him greatly in his labors. He will often appear in concerts as Signor Towler, Baritone Soloist. Nellie Trufant will take a position as a teacher of the art “ of keeping silent.” She has vast experience in this line. Her success is assured. The silent Miss Webb will pine in solitude, like Evangeline, for the return of the Gladiator Henry Wood. He will be taken for Jim Corbett. His pompadour gave him away—and threshed within an inch of his life. A touching re-union will at last be made. Wales and Williams, Importers and Dealers in all kinds of Millinery, will hold the fort in Oklahoma. Mr. Wales will do the draping, while Williams drums up trade among his lady friends. It might be remarked that the delicate constitution of Mr. Wales may necessitate his entering an easier vocation. Miss Yancey, in her boisterous manner, will make the ears of politicians tingle, with her “stump speeches.” Thomas Edison’s Assistant, Walcot Wheaton, will establish electrical works in Minneapolis. Ladies who contemplate purchasing a curling iron should wait for his latest invention; you press the button, the hair is frizzed. Clara Winslow will soon change her name to —but on account of the youth 75 of the person his name is withhel 1. She will endow an Institute of Elocution in Burmali, for the benefit of the natives, who wish to increase the volume of their war whoops. Thinking that alteration might mar the effect of these answers of the Sibyl, the compiler has left them as nearly in accordance with the text of the original manuscript as was possible. In case any one should feel misused, a letter sent to Mr. Depew at the Bowery, New York, will probably be the means of the mistake being rectified. In no case, write or speak to the compiler, but to Mr. Depew. I wish to thank for niv friend Chauncey, all who so kindly sent on their names and money, and hoi e all received satisfaction. Dido. 0, Clio, poetess wise and beautiful, sing to us now the song of this glorious and mighty assembly. Clio. Tis with joy and sadness blended That we all meet here to-night, For our gay school days are ended Which have brought us such delight. What a glory once it seemed But to reach the Seniors’ fame, When wc should be so esteemed And such honors justly claim. When as Freshmen here we came We were timid, young and small, Having only as our aim To Income a Senior tall. The second year brought steady work Repeated day by day, For those who would their duty shirk The penalty must pay. As Juniors with what joy we saw Our boys o’ereome their fears. And venture, still with awe, The girls to wander near. Our gallant youths still braver grew And blossomed out as beaux, With three-inch collars, neckties new In favor they arore. 70 While many, with an anxious heart, To dancing school do go, To try and master the grim art Of “ tripping the fantastic toe.” The waltz to them becomes a snare Worse than Geometric rules, Feet seem to wander here and there And ardor almost cools. But the brave youths of ’93 Overcome all in their way, The girls with great delight soon sec Them pose as dancers gay. When we entered “A” Room’s door, Little knew we of the joys That the future had in store For the Senior girls and boys. One and all on bright “ Park Day ” We gathered, lunch in hand To pass the time as Seniors may, On Harriet’s” grassy strand. Some races ran or foot-ball played, Or gamboled on the green, While others more enjoyed the shade, And watched the jolly scene. As the days Hew swiftly by, A challenge to us came. To debate with St. Paul’s High, At a time which we should name. Orators of high repute In the class of ’93, Prepared arguments acute, Polished to a high degree. ’Though with burning eloquence All our speakers overflowed, And our joy became intense At the brilliant thoughts they showed. Vet, despite the long array Of strong arguments brought out, Still our rivals won the day And with triumph loud did shout. But to all reverses come So the class of ’1)3, Not discouraged by their doom. Laurels in the future see. In the midst of winter’s cold Still on pleasure bound, Who are these that we behold Skimming o’er the ground ? ’Tis an “ A ” Room company In an open sleigh, Laughing, singing merrily. On their homeward way. Tho’ the wee small hours are nigh What care they for time, While the horns blow clear and high And sweet voices chime. When the girls of ’93 Think o’er this last year, Ever will the name “ V. V.” Bring them memories dear. Of meetings, meetings without end, And a reception grand ; Of secrets which we ne’er intend To spread outside this band. The “ Lunatics,” so bold and bad, Are memories long gone past, For the dark secrets that they had Were not the kind to last. “ Lunatics,” ” V. V’s.” and all To High School bid adieu, Soon the future will us call To take up work anew. 78 Dido. Most beloved Anne, dearest of sisters, speak thou to the men of Troy, and show them the perfection of all women, but speak first and most of the perfection of those who form the illustrious band of‘V. Vs.' Anna. The secret society, known as the ‘V. Vs,’ of '1)3, has become a powerful organization doing much to alleviate the sufferings of the people and helping to raise the intellectual, moral and spiritual standard of all who come within its influence. The society was formed in order to foil the attempts on the part of the gentlemen of the Senior Class to take matters entirely into their own hands and to shape them for their own selfish purposes. Naturally we, the senior girls, resented any infringement upon what is always conceded to be the right of the American girl—to manage affairs without rhyme or reason, if it so suits her own sweet will. Perhaps you will say it was no very high motive, but what is more noble than to prevent oppression and to insure their rights to those you arc pleased to term the weaker sex. The purpose for which the society was formed being effected, there was no need for its continued existence. But the members observing its benign influence and the strength of the union, thought it their bounden duty to make it a permanent organization. To bind together forty-three girls with their diverse tastes,different ambitions and friendships seemed a plan beyond realization; but we have fully illustrated that “ Many things impossible to thought Have been by need to full perfection brought.” The resolution to continue ihe organization being passed a new constitution was drawn up. How much our gentlemen friends would give to know all about our regulations, the grip, initiation, the motto and the song! But they are doomed to lasting disappointment. No feeble ray of light shall ever shine upon their hopeless darkness, for the edict has gone forth that forever and a day these must be shrouded in awful mystery. Theirs not to reason why. Theirs bwt to do or die ‘‘Give thy thoughts no tongue.” We have been admonished, therefore, even the name of the V. Vs is not to be divulged to the uninitiated. The gentlemen of 93 have taken vicious pleasure in searching for a vilifying name for our society. Vindictive and of varying value have been the virulent combinations, but they have been compelled to give up their vile vituperative attempts to find the correct name. The results of some of their cogitations are interesting. To give them verbatim, one timidly suggests the vacillating virgins or the valiant vanquishers. But another taking exception to these proposed vociferous 70 viragos, verdant virtuosos, violent votaries, visionary volunteers, venturesome veterans or voracious vultures. Thus they continue in villainous vein, calling us volatile victims, and one in vain-glorious mood exclaims: “Ye Gods and little fishes! as Lo.thc poor Indian, giveth to each of her sons a name characteristic, so must we make Y. Y. designate some peculiarity.” So with ghoulish glee he said vivacious vixens. It was vanity of vanities for them to think for an instant their endeavors would be successful. Of all the boys of ’1)3 there is one alone who may be considered wise, for he wasteth not his time in idle guessing, but, like that same bee, improves each shining hour. He sings in lofty strains the praises of the society and has thus earned our life-long favor, as a token of which we presented him with a pin, making him an honorary member of the society. The pin was presented at the reception given on April 5th to the gentlemen of the class, in token of our appreciation of favors shown us by them. Since, faultfinders have been in a decided minority. Throughout the year, among the members there have been meetings which have been remarkable for their cultivated and witty conversation. The reception was the last of these meetings, and the only one to which were summoned guests of the masculine gender, singular number. But now that we arc to part, I will give just one little suggestion as to our motto: it may be — remember, 1 don’t say it is, but it may be—Yeni, Yidi, Yici. so H1 Class Sopg. Farewell to all our class-mates. Our High School days are o’er, To parting words we listen, We shall meet in school no more. Our memories here are gathered. And as parting draweth nigh The ties of friendship bind us, To each we say—good-by. “Through Trials to Triumph” Let the motto be, “Through Trials to Triumph” Our class of ’93. Our lives have been filled with blessing. And pathway strewn with flowers. Hut this night sad thoughts are pressing As we spend these parting hours. And to us who now must leave you, And for other scenes repair, Sorrow throws a shadow o’er us And our school days bright and fair. “Through Trials to Triumph” Let our motto be, “Through Trials to Triumph” Our class of ’93. The days have passed so swiftly, The days no longer ours. While we have worked together, Through joyous happy hours; The future lies before us. As we join the moving throng Each memory pictures to us Our class of 80 strong. “Through Trials to Triumph” Let the motto be, “Through Trials to Triumph” Our class of ’93. 82 Facts at?d Figurc5 83 Fact5 ai?d NAME.

Women are made for men and not for pants. When a man pants for a woman and a woman pants for a man the}' are a pair of pants. Such pants don’t last. Pants are like molasses, they are thinner in hot weather and thicker in cold. The man in the moon changes his pants during the eclipse. Don’t you go to the pantry for pants, you might be mistaken. Men are often mistaken in pants. Such mistakes make breeches of promise. There has been much discussion as to whether pants is singular or plural. Seems to us when men wear pants they are plural, and when they don’t wear any pants it is singular. Men go on a tear in their pants, and it is all right, but when the pants go on a tear it is all w'rong.” xiii TRIBUNE JOB PRINTING CO., Tribune Building, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.
