I heard Lillie Helvie in New York talking over the wireless telephone to Mary Morrison in Seattle. They are both operators in those cities. Have any of the class become clergymen?” “Why I should say so. William Rogers is a strong worker among the Mormons and Clifford Stevens, who was once a famous actor, is now trying to revive the Holy Rollers. Adele Weed is in Alaska operating a gold mine she discovered not long ago. Maybe you will see her.” “Perhaps I will. I suppose Florence Weed feels greatly honored after having won the silver cup in the National Motorcycle Race in San Francisco. Well here comes my train and I suppose I must be going.

She said that Edward Swift was president of the First National Bank, and Jesse Nunn, who gave promise to such a brilliant career in his high school days, is now janitor in the bank.” ‘‘Isn’t that strange? About two weeks ago Bernie Nelson was here, giving a series of lectures on beauty secrets. Did you know that Freda Dell has become the star in the play “Love Regained?” Although Harold Taylor has made a fortune on the inventions of his perpetual motion machine, he is shifting scenes at the Lyric in order to be near the object of his devotion.” “Well! When I was in Rio-de-Janeiro I met Sibbie Beatty who is a stenographer with the attorneys Thomas Altimus and Ralph Champion. They have secured as an assistant Mildred Huddle, on account of the increased business attending the trial of Elizabeth Waters. She is accused of affecting Frank Houser’s vision with her brilliant hair.” “Well do you think she is guilty? Do you remember about two years ago of seeing an article in a magazine saying that a new island had been discovered in the Pacific by Margaret Benfer? She has founded the colony “The Haven of Rest” (because there are no men there). Among those who have settled there are Essie Hallet, Neva Wilcox, Ethel Jackman, Edna Sights and Laura Wilkins.” “Why yes I heard something about it. I also heard that Hazel Scott is running a jitney in St. Joe. I met Myona Lewis and Vivian Clark, who are going to live on homesteads in Arizona. I expect it will be lonesome but they say they like that sort of life.” “That’s as surprising as Vera Anthony going to Egypt to take up Red Cross nursing. Are you going to vote for Mabel Davids? She has been nominated as the first woman for president of the United States and Klara Corrigan for vice-president on the Socialist ticket.” “Yes, I’ll vote for them. Isn’t it too bad about poor Mabel Bond? On account of some sad disappointment in her love affair, she has decided to live as an old maid the rest of her life.” “Yes I feel very sorry for her but she may change her mind. William Champion has chosen a different occupation than I expected. He is one of the most efficient dancing teachers in the Northwest. Hulda Dixon and Lola Finley have

Page 30 THE LINCOLNIAN Juniors The present Junior class has the distinction of being one of the strongest and one of the most progressive of the classes of this high school. Since our entrance into the school three years ago, we have shown a progressive spirit and a businesslike capacity for managing all our class enterprises. Soon after the opening of the school, a meeting of the new and the old class members was held for the purpose of organizing our class. The following class officers were elected at this meeting: President, Earl Norgard; Vice-president, Ernest Arthur; Secretary-treasurer, Muriel Paul; Sergeant-at arms, Willie Martin. We have always taken a great interest in all school activities. Athletics would be almost an impossibility without material from the Junior class. Our class has always been ably represented in all the athletic sports of the school. Several members have won emblems and sweaters for playing on the regular football and basketball teams of the school.. The names of “Eckman” and “Martin”, as star athletes, will long be remembered. There is also excellent material for track and base ball. While we are not as directly represented in the Student Body as are the Seniors, we have, nevertheless, felt an existing responsibility upon our part in helping to maintain the dignity and the authority of the Student Body. Several of our class members have very creditably shown their histrionic talents in the school plays which have been given. We have also entertained at a number of enjoyable social affairs. The Juniors are looking forward with great interest to the time when they will become Seniors.
