1 320 JOL SEN IOR CLASS Q £g H.H.S. gg 53 SENIOR CLASS £5 For the past five years Miss Gerber has been the stenographer in the South Chicago Steel Mills, but has resigned her position during the past week. Reason ! In a clipping from a Chicago daily, we find the announcement of her engage- ment. By the way, her prospective husband is five feet four and one-half inches in height. Just recall the year 1024 and you will surely remember the exciting cam- paign when Miss Boldt ran for state senator on the Progressive ticket and was defeated on a narrow margin. At present, she is contenting herself by writing articles on “Woman Suffrage’’ for “Any Magazine That Will Accept Them.” At the present Miss Linkhart is attending the Chicago University and in my interview with her the other day she would give me no definite idea as to what she intended to do when her course there was completed. Mass Tolle says she has an idea, well, maybe I have too. Miss Ewigleben on leaving school became an employee of the Gary Heat and Light. Her work is so efficient that her employers feel that they cannot get along without her. Gretchen Shore? ? 1 Oh, yes, she has had what might be called an inter- esting time since leaving school. She took a course in secretaryship, and took her B. A. on January 22nd, 1924. February 28th of the same year, she pro- posed to Mr. Rightman, and on February 29th, 1924. became Mrs. Rightman. LeRoy Stark, the last one to join the class, just naturally followed in the footsteps of his father and became a minister. At present, he is trying to bring “light” to a group of Pennsylvania miners. Here’s hoping he succeeds. Vera Quinlan is a famous politician. Not long ago 1 heard her give a splendid address on “Civic Improvement” which I am sure impressed every member of the audience. Write again, AVA TOLLE. TO THE SENIORS. The easy roads are crowded, And the level roads are jammed; The pleasant little rivers With drifting folks are crammed. But off yonder where it’s rocky Where you get a better view, You will find the ranks are thinning And the travelers are few. Where the going’s smooth and pleasant You will always find the throng. For the many, more’s the pity, Seem to like to drift along. But the steeps that call for courage, And the task that’s hard to do. In the end result in glory For the never wavering few.

THE ms. MAH This department is for information of general interest only. Everybody : — I greet you again. Hope you received your answers last year. Don’t fail to ask ?’s and I won’t fail to favor you. Mr. Ans. Man : — I have been reading your answers to various questions and 1 find them interesting. In 1920, I was sponsor for the graduating class of that year. Since then, the members of that class have drifted away from the town and I would appreciate very much any information you could give me concerning them. ELLEN MALONE. Miss Malone: — You are very kind in telling me that you enjoy my answers and I am very glad that I am able to favor you. The information you seek, 1 can readily furnish, as I happen to be fortunate enough to have secured the services of Miss Ava Tolle as my secretary. She tells me that she was a mem- ber of that class, and in accordance with a pledge the members of the class gave each other on “Commencement Night”, they have kept in touch with each other up to the present time. Miss Mary Maybaum is now an English instructor in the Wheeler High School. She is the author of a book published in 1925 entitled, “The Value of a Wide Vocabulary.’’ Raymond Kostbade, a promising young lawyer, has won considerable fame as a debater in the House of Representatives. Washington society has received him with open arms. 1 1 is constituency has been so well pleased with his efforts in their behalf that in the recent election he was returned to Con- gress with an overwhelming majority. George Gill, an instructor of history in the “State University of Wiseoir sin,” has been so successful in his chosen work that he is so much in demand that Madison has to constantly increase his salary to retain him. It is rumored that he is planning to write an autobiography of Lincoln. iMliss Tolle regards this as a huge joke, just why. I do not understand. Robert Frank has settled down to be a scientific farmer and assures me that he is very contented in his work. He is much in demand at Farmers’ Institutes as he is considered an authority on “How to grow corn success- fully?”

CLASS WILL For some reason or other, every year each Senior class must die. We, the Seniors of 1920, frantically called for the doctor to see if anything could be done to prevent it. The doctor, with the aid of Mr. Fowble, decided that we were altogether too bright, seeing that we had all of our required credits, and told us there was no help for us. So after making a visit to Mir. Alwin Wild’s and signing the following will at Attorney Pierson’s, we twelve Seniors of 1920 lay down to die the death which is in store for us. Personals bequeathed by the Seniors : FIRST: — I, Ava Tolle, bequeath my ability to draw pictures (not attention), to Grace Trae ger. SECOND: — I, Esther Boldt, bequeath my privilege of attending all the H. II. S. dances to Martin Friedrich. THIRD : — I, Frieda Ewigleben, bequeath my seat in the back row of the Phy- sics Laboratory to anyone who wants it. FOURTH: — 1, George Gill, bequeath my ability to play basket ball to Owen Crisman. FIFTH : — I, Gretchen Shore, bequeath my Freshman chum to Edward Hahn. SIXTH: — 1, Helen Linkhart, bequeath my loving Sophomore friend to Violet Croan. SEVENTH: — I, LeRoy Stark, bequeath my daily wad of chewing gum to who- ever can find it on the underside of the seat in which I sat in the Physics Lab. EIGHTH: — I, Margaret Gerber, bequeath my dimensions to Frank Gresser. NINTH : — I, Mary Maybaum. bequeath my literary tendency (to write notes) to Verva De France, providing she is able to get enough note paper.
