Curtis High School - Curtis Annual Yearbook (Chicago, IL)

Page 57 text:

H JE it tial N publishing this Annual, the june Class of 1911 is following the precedent established by the class of 1909 and so well car- ried on by last year's june Class. Although- there are many difficulties in this kind of an undertaking, we nevertheless think the work is one worth doing, perhaps the value to us is enhanced by these difficulties. The hardest work has always been the securing of subscriptions, indeed most of these have come from the com- munity, for whose assistance we are duly appreciative, but we wish every loyal member of Curtis would be willing and glad to help ma- terially in this effort, by subscribing. As the question of having or not having an Annual depends upon the subscription list, it can be readily seen that the work is held in abeyance until the requisite num- ber is received. lNe confess we have been at times discouraged, and we might have given up in despair, had not the enthusiasm and sheer deter- mination of some of the members of the class carried the day. Now we are very glad we kept on, for we have benefited more than by the mere making of the book. NVe have learned to know each other in a way entirely different from that of class acquaintanceshipg we have known the pleasures and troubles of working together, and the dis- appointment and satisfaction resulting from interdependence. 'We thank all our friends, in and out of school, who have made the work possible, and we bespeak for future classes a prompt and cheery co-operation in any such work that they may do. Fifty-five

THE CURTIS ALUMNI EARLY four years ago the first class graduated from Curtis High School. Since then the number of graduates has in- creased to more than one hundred. As may be supposed, these young people after leaving school have pursued differ- ent activities. Some have become teachers, others have gone to col- lege, still others entered at once upon active work. Nor have all remained in this vicinity. A few have gone as far as California 3 others are in the neighboring states. In order to bring together as many of the graduates as possible and to remember dear old Curtis, the Alumni formed an organization whose members are now among the warmest supporters of their Alma Mater. CLASS OF l907 S Nellie Mclnerney is still at Curtis, not as a pupil but as secretary to Mr. Hill. Nettie Gilligan, Corinne Breuscher, Minnie Gortland and Mae Kleinhuizen are working. Gunhild johnson is married. Marga- ret Powers is teaching a country school and Ruth Sutcliffe teaches kindergarten. Ben McLach1in is at college in Saginaw, Mich. Edgar Twoney is in California.
