ul Can anything good come Ollt of Uinaha? The seniors say yes, for one who can carry such an important item as The 1'ifll01'O.YL'0fN.' advertising campaign to a suc- sessful completion must be made of real stuff. This member, Edward Lindquist. says, I was born somewhere in Sweden, not Broadview, However, to Broadview he owes the Christian education that makes for life a success. It is said by those who knew her, that as a baby, Lorena Watts was the crossest and noisiest youngster that ever lived. Not until she was six months old did her parents enjoy a peaceful nights rest. XVhat hath time wrought! for surely now she is the most quiet, modest nurse that ever lived. Her education after the grades was received at Mason City, Iowa high school. Her desire to become a trained nurse is realized bv her presence here tonight. On his portable Yictrola, Charles Frederick Ferciot loves to play Beautifu1 Ohio, for savs he, I have the good fortune of calling it my native state. His inquisitiveness as a boy is shown, when he at one time demanded to know why chickens get up so early.

Edith lloerine thinks that aside from the state of matrimony, XVisConsin is the best State in the If S. .-X. There she spent her chilrlliood days. She was a very curious child, which is illustrated by the following incident: She at one time squeezed the life out of several chicks and then asked her mother why they did not peep any more? Completing a course at Bethel Academy she chose Hinsdalt Sanitarium as her future Alma Mater. Possibly the free and open life of the vast Nebraska and South Dakota prairiefi where Clifford Howe was born and raised, contributed much to develop in him that poetical tendency which, finding expression in soft, sympathetic lines, appeals so forcibly to the Finer emotions of the gentler sex. VVhen graduating from high school, he stood in the estimation of his classmates, the greatest athlete of modern times. He chose the nurses' course as a good preparatory training for life's work. I wish again that I were back in Michigan, says Eva Pearl Essex. For surely the happy childhood days spent playing with her pets were the best days of her life. She had every variety of pet known from white rats and roosters down to Mexican hairless dogs. Cedar Lake Academy had the honor of graduating her just prior to her coming to Hinsdale to train as a nurse three years ago. Ada Ruby Allen says that she was born in a log cabin on the western plains but as her parents wanted her to grow up in a civilized state, they moved to VVisconsin while she was but a small girl. After finishing the grades she attendef llethel Academy where her favorite diversion was to visit the principal's office Z'l1'ti stand on the magic green carpet. After leaving Hinsdale she plans to continue her education for a short while, then what?--No one knows, As a little boy, Frank I.ovell's ambition was to become a machinist, and ht began by taking apart old clocks, Frank was raised in sunny Tennessee, He . tended our school at Qoltewah before coming to Hinsdale where he faithfully preserved the tradition of his kin by studying along medical lines. Away up in the land of the midsnight sun, Miss Kristoifersen first saw th' light of day-or of night, This probably accounts for her never falling asleep or night duty. She always had ambitions of becoming a missionary nurse, and when coming to America a few years ago she started training in the Bethel Sanitariuiww Twenty-six

Marsh as a boy roamed the fields and woods of our own ti--od State. He had delinite aims in life. After graduating from Fox Riyer Academy, he completed the pre-medical course at E. M. C.

Elmer Nelson is one of NVisconsin's loyal sons.

Endowed with that rare desirable tendency toward neatness, cleanliness and order, the sight of a wrinkled stocking or a crooked hair ribbon would bring Velma Hazel Foreman to tears.
