imagination of fifty Freshmen power even to hint at her abilities in every direction. l:Since going to press we have been informedon reliable authority that Miss Bigelow does not contemplate teach- ing in Duluth next year. We are indeed filled with grief, but are somewhat comforted to learn that she is only leaving us in order to go into politics, that she may, by practical example, assist in ditfusing the propaganda of local option and home rule. Long may she rule!-Edj ' Mark Baldwin, who began teaching in the D. H. S. in 1897, left this year, in March, to go into business. For four years he worked havoc among the hearts of the maidens, and when in 1900 their Adonis returned as a happy benedict there was much Weeping and gnashing of teeth. Mr. Baldwin is a Yale graduate, and during his work here has taught English, Mathematics, History and Civil Government. Those who know him will one and all agree that both as a teacher and a friend he is all right. We all wish Mr. Baldwin the greatest success in his new work. Valuable goods come in small parcels! This is exceptionally true when applied to quiet Miss Noyes. She has taught here for a number of years. How we would miss her if she were not here! Miss Noyes teaches Sophomore English. Under her tutelage English takes on a charm which is impossible to imagine by those who have never had that dull, dry study brightened by her interesting teaching. And now there is left only one more teacher to tell you about. Last, but by no means least, there is John Thomas. Mr. Thomas did not come here entirely unknown-he was preceeded by his brother, W. I. Thomas, now teaching at the state HU. The work done by Mr. Thomas has been in the English department. He instructs The Tigers of '03 in the beauties of English literature and sublimities of Milton, incidentally he gives juniors lessons in English. Mr. Thomas has donea great deal of work, which does him. great credit, in preparing the Debating team and those who took part in the oratorical and declamatory contests. 14

W-nwn- f- - - fe for this statement. We believe of him as Betsy Rig said of the immortal Mrs. Harris: There ain't no sich a person. Miss Eliza Robinson has smitten luckless wights with prob- lems in mathematics for a number of years. She is an excellent teacher, but woe betide the shirker! As to the question, Is she as formidable as is generally supposed? ask the juniors or some of the conditioned Seniors! Miss Mogford, the Freshmen English teacher, has a quiet but irresistible How of words. Her consultation periods are the Freshmen's delight! Miss Mary Salter, who teaches Latin and English, is a graduate of Wellesley College, with B. S. degree. She had a post- graduate course at Yale University, and previous to coming here taught at Lake Erie College and University. Miss Josephine Gorin, who came to us from Synodical College, Fulton, Missouri, is a graduate of the American Institute of Normal Methods, Chicago. She teaches drawing and painting, having taken up the work formerly conducted by Mr. Rudolph. Mrs. Emogene Lectra, the friend of the Freshmen, teaches History this year. Miss Jessie Palmer is another new teacher this year. She is a graduate of the University of Michigan and has the degree of Ph. B. She taught in Marshall, Mich., in the high school and then took a post-graduate course in English at Wellesley. She teaches English in our high school. Miss Toska M. von Scholten, 'four Fraulein, has been here for the past three years. She is always kind, never scolds, and her only reproof is a gentle Bitte sprechen Sie nicht. Mr. Carl Ulrich, instructor in Bugology, Birdology, Fish- ology, and several other ologies, is always busy attending to his many duties. He is custodian of the Museum, Organizer of the Agassiz Club and Ruler of the Botanical Labratory. Miss Helen Bigelow teaches Algebra to the Freshmen. What mere Senior can do justice to her worth? It would take a vivid 13

PREFACE. - E, the Zenith Board of the Class of 1903, can hardly f appreciate the value of this work to us and our pos- ' terity. We know that it is amodel of excellence, a work of art and pleasing to the eye. Though you may not see the points to many of thejokes, laugh anyway, for they are all excruciatingly funny, and I though you may not consider the style one of elegance, do not display your ignorance by expressing your ideas. Ours is an original style, elegant in every particular. We are about to leave our Alma Mater, our teachers and our fellow students. This publication is that by which we will be judged, by which we will be remembered, so we, the Zenith Board, have put our best efforts into it and sincerely hope that it is a credit to our class. It is indeed with feelings of regret and sadness that we realize that we will soon be alumni of the Duluth Central High School, and while, previous to this our last year, we have longed for vacation, it has not been so this past year. - In this volume space is given to those organizations which have absorbed our time, our studies, athletic association, our musical society, our fraternities, our literary society and our debate. Each class has a portion, and we consider their efforts quite credit- able for Freshmen, Sophomores or juniors as they may be. A 15
