THE GRADUATE. 19 Class History On the 31st day of August, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and eight, there appeared before the field of educational activity, at Chesterton, Indiana, twenty-three Freshmen, who came there for the purpose of preparing thmeselves to face the difficulties which they might meet in later years. Of these, fifteen took up their course of study in the Latin Course, and the remaining eight pur- sued their studies in the Business Course. During the year we worked hard and made good progress, but were much disappointed at losing some of our members before the term was over. Among those who dropped out of the class during the term were Esther Peter- son, Bertha Slont, and Margaret Anderson. The latter, after attending a few weeks, was forced to leave school, because of ill health, much to the disappointment of the class. Henry Rhoda, who having attended school about six weeks became afiiicted with spring fever and left us, returning to school the fol- lowing yea1'. Leonard Busse completed the first semester, and accepted a position in a Chi- cago Bank. Thus ended the first years ex- citement with timely happenings of little note. At the beginning of our next school year, we returned only to find that two more of our number had dropped out: Jennie Yedell and Joseph Middleton, the former accepting a posi- tion as clerk in one of the stores. However, Claude Brown, formerly a student from the Advance, Indiana, High School, and Edward Dalke from Valparaiso High School joined us. In December 1909, Georgia Green and Elivera Hillstroni left us, the former hav- ing formed a matrimonial alliance. and the latter accepting a position in the Post Office. Later in March 1910, Walt.er Isaacson, having found employment, left us. And, much to the sorrow of the class, Dean Babcock, 0119 of the most diligent and active scholars of the class, was called to the Great Beyond, on the 27th day of April, 1910. NVhen we returned in the fall of 1910, we found that Agnes Reese and Miller Rollo had left us. the former desiring to promote her talent in music in Chicago. The latter is at- tending a military school in Kentucky. How- ever, in the beginning of the term, Georgia Landrigan was added to our class roll, but after the first semester, she moved with her parents to Bunker Hill, Ind. Some of the boys, es- pecially, grieved over her departure. but finally two of them consoled themselves by claiming her laboratory apron. Toward the close of the year, the boys of this class, and the girls of the class of 1011, were engaged in a confusion, the boys winning. The year ended by our giving the class of 1911 a reception. When we came back in the fall of 1012, as dignified Seniors we were informed that Ed- ward Dalke had left us and was attending the Gary Business College. Edward Nagel, who fell behind a little each year, at last left us, perhaps because he did not like our company, the exact reason we do l1Ol know. He will graduate with class of 1913. Harry Charlson, one of our best students, on account of sickness, was unable to return until two weeks had elapsed, and then he returned only to stay with us a. short time, as he was forced to leave because of sickness in the fam- ily. We all regreted to see our noble President leave us. He now has a good position in In- diana Harbor. After the first semester, this term, we moved into the new building.
