Class History. Can you realize the strange feeling, That over 11s did come a-stealing, When you gave this task to do. To account for the class of twenty-two? In September of the year eighteen, As fifty-seven freshmen, green. Thus we began our high school strife, Timid and pale, yet full of life. As the end of our journey now nears, Since pursuing a course of four years, We find a score of classmates missing. Good luck to them now we are wishing. Here you will find in the following pages. Represented people of all sizes and ages. We tried to give at a spicy flavor. So give your attention and do us a favor. Charlie Ilurtley, the first to leave us, decided that he did not like school, so he turned his ambitions in a different direction. The latest report is that he is at St. Louis, Mo., keeping the people prepared for a rainy day, for he is a salesman. and his ambitions turned out in the shape of an umbrella. Cora Hanson left us, moving with her folk to Cornell. She was graduated from the Eau Claire Teachers' Training School last year and no doubt is a “school-ma’am somewhere. Next. Lois Cheney left our fo'd because of illness. We are glad to note that she came back again the next year. Before the year was half gone. Melvin Nelson’s services as farmer were needed at his home near Modena. Curtis Ileibel joined us after school was in session for several months. lie had previously attended school at Gilmanton. At present, he is a student of the Augusta High School. Duiing this, our first year at High School, a reception was given us by the Sophomores. This was not given until late in spring, owing to an eight weeks’ vacation on account of the flu. This affair was one of the most enjoyable of our High School days. When our sophomore year was at hand, we found some more of our classmates missing. During the summer. Myrtle Ilel-wig hail moved to Minneapolis where she attended South Minneapolis High for two years. Last summer she took a position as telephone operator and liked the work so well that she did not go back to school. Mary Pace left for Clinton. Wisconsin, at the beginning of the sophomore year and entered the high school there. She will graduate from the Teachers' Training course this spring. Beinice, her brother, also entered the Clinton High School. We were were grieved to hear of his untimely death due to pneumonia, last fall. Anna Schneider also failed to make her appearance and we have heard that she since has been married to Earl Stokes of Eau Claire, where she now resides. Emma Saxe is another who forsook our class for more housewifely dut’e . She is now Mrs. Clyde Shaw of Cochrane. Leona Bond, the flaxen-haired girl, deserted the class during the sophomore year because of the weakened condition of her eyes. She now lives with her parents at Gilmanton. Elen Thompson left the class at ti e end of the sophomore year, lie decided that

traveling was more to his liking, so he took a ti ip out West, but since has come to the conclusion that there’s no place like school, and is now attending Eau Claire High School. Minerva Serum, who believes in the “laugh and grow fat” policy, went to Minneapolis and last year finished her high school education at summer school. She now holds a position of private secretary in a doctor's office. Fred Harrison, who made himself famous by his cartoons, is a student of Spokane High School in Washington, and was a member of its football team. School wasn't interesting enough for Alice Lnnderville, so she left us. and we now recognize her as Mrs. Elwin Thompson of Mondovi. James Hill decided to study “Ag” on the home farm, southeast of town, so that added another to the missing ranks. The fourth one of our class to be married was Ruth Odegard and she entered matrimony with John Hacker. She now lives on a farm a short distance from Mondovi. Of quiet and domestic nature. Myrtle Hill preferred home life to school, so that's where she is now. on a farm near Mondovi. Francis Harrison took big strides towards the west and he entered high school at Spokane, Washington. As a member of the football team, he very likely strode on to victory. Oscar Severson's jolly company was missed the last part of the year. He experienced too good a time at a basket social and hence spent so much time in the hospital that he could not renew his studies. However, he was back at the grind the next year. Alex Lnnderville, our farmer friend, could not abide by the continuous studying so he said his sad (?) farewell and went back to the farm. When we entered as Juniors, to our surprise we found some of the best students missing. Wilbur O’Mera. a promising athlete. had gone to Santa Cruz, ('al- and there he had become a member of the football and basketball squads in his Junior and Senior years. Our absentee list kept on growing even as we entered the last year of school. Cora Anderson left us and took all her giggles to Sehaettles’ Store where she now uses them to to keep her associates jolly. The farm was the only place for Theodore Fleischauer. We hope that as the years advance, he will overcome his bash-fulness. The decision of Paul (Happy) Anderson is to stay another year, for he fears there is no one to take his place just yet. Lloyd Lindsay found that he had not obtained as much Agricultural knowledge as lie wished, so he desired to remain another year. Leo Smith did not like our company so he remains another year, which enables him to wait for his better half. Magdalynn Voll had to miss so much of her Junior year that she is unable to graduate with the class, but she plans to finish her high school work at summer school. Following is the history of twenty girls and eighteen boys who are the graduates of 1922. We fear that as historians we have become serious rivals of A. 11. Hart, with whom we became acquainted in history class. Ralph Moy, a truly conscientious boy. Pursues his work with very great joy. Accurate work does he do in school And we hope he'll never break this rule. Ruth Worrell’s a lady dark and short. Her records in school are of the right sort. To go a-teaching she's inclined. We hope a vocation she will find, J stands for Jewell and Johnson too. He came to us from Peshtigo. In athletics he has won due fame. To “go” in them, has been his aim. Lenore Godard is this merry girl. Who often wears a small spit curl. In her voice, her fortune lies. We wish her success iu her enterprise.
