ifihiturz nf the Bnhgvr, 1512-1935 IT IS ALWAYS interesting to find out what fields of work have engaged the interests of high school graduates of former years and with this idea in mind a Dodger editor made inquiries concerning the present location of former Dodger editors-in- chief from 1912-1936 and wrote to them. 1912-john Butler 77 77 7 7 77New York City Granger Mitchell 7 77 77 7 Fort Dodge 1913-William Wheeler 7 7 77 Cdeceasedj 1914-Rulison Parker 1915-Clyde Bedell 7 Detroit, Michigan 1916-Ethel Wgilker 1917--Florence Sheldon Ethel Bart James 7 a,,, 777New York City 1918-Annetta Schroeder Kraft ,,,, Chicago Katherine McCann Barton 7 7Davenport 1919-E.

Nearly all seemed to agree that the most outstanding thing they could remember about their job as editor was the great amount of work in- volved in the job and the great amount of pleasure derived from that work. The experience was one of lasting value to them as it helped to develop a sense of responsi- bility and ability to cooperate with others, and, in some cases, pointed the way to a future vocation. The greatest thrill came to most editors when they held, for the first time, the completed book. Accord- ing to many replies, the most difficult part varied from choosing a theme to writing senior quotations. Various are the present occupations of the former editors. Many of the girls have chosen marriage as their career. Ethel Bart, 1917, now married to Ben James, a suc- cessful writer, who published his first book in 1934, made a trip around the world in 1928 and a Mediterranean cruise during the summer of 1935 and is now a teacher in a private school in New York City. John Butler, 1912, is a lawyer in New York City. Granger P. Mitchell, 1912, is editor of the Fort Dodge Messen- ger and Chronicle. Annetta Schroeder- Kraft, 1918, Eleanor Mulroney-McKen- zie, 19193 Alice Schroeder-Wallace, 1920, Freda Schneider-Larson, 1921, Margaret Nordstrum - Aldershoff, 1921, Laura Kolb-Wilson, 1924, and Elizabeth Arm- strong-Olson, 1926, are all busy home- makers. Ruth O'Neill, 1923, is now a teacher in the Fort Dodge Junior High School. Carolyn Rogers-Schultz, 1925, is at present a secretary with the Standard Oil Company in Chicago. Kenneth Greene, 1927, is a traveling interviewer for the National Reemploy- ment Service, and William Mulroney, 1928, is credit manager for the Marso- Rodenborn Manufacturing Company in Fort Dodge. Willard Minkel, 1929, holds a position in the business office of the Southern California Telephone Company in Los Angeles. Everett C. Blomgren, 1930, is news editor of the Courtland County Press in Prairie du Chien, Wis- consin. Janice Maher, 1933, and Betty Burnquist, 1935, are college students, Gertrude Frost, 1934, a stenographer. page fiffz'r'11
