We Can! We Will! When from the school so long thy guide and leader A graduate thou goest to face the world. Fear not its sneers, its scorn and buffets savage, But keep thy banner to tbe breeze unfurled. When savage evil on all sides assails thee, And craven friends desert thee one by one, Remain undaunted thou and do not falter, Press onward still, the battle must be won. Straight be thy way, to right or left ne'er swerving. Never to rearward cast a longing eye; But to tbe front and to the battle's turmoil Keep thou thy face, and victory is nigh. Remember tliou the motto of thy mother And keep thy stiff unwavering courage still; Though others fail, not thine it is to falter. Remember her device, “We can ! We will P’ “We can! We will!” and come what may we conquer. Our glorious banner ne’er shall trail the dust But ever in the faith in man triumphant Well keep our sword and armor from rust.

21 1921 NOTOHISCO ■IBIIIIMIIIIIIIMMiroillllllillllillllllillW Arthur Tosetti is a prize fighter of the first class. When we remember his ready smile, it is hard to imagine him giving his famous knock-out blows, but such seems to be the case. Leland Hamell, our class president of ’21, is now a civil engineer. His progressive habits have stayed with him and he seems to have succeeded as well with his work as he used to with our banquets, etc. Anna Lee Darrough, whom all of us used to predict to become a chorus girl, has more than fulfilled our expectations and has only last year entered the Follies. Raymond Plummer is a senior judge in one of our eighty district courts. He has had no political pull, but has secured his merits on high moral and religious standards. The most surprising fact about our class is how they followed up the courses they took in High School. I can imagine Professor Starner’s delight were he as fortunate as I am in knowing that Esther Schaefer, Theresa Welsch, Orlieu Wilson, Bertha Strater, Irene Becker, Marie Cannon, Clara Maxeiner, Gilbert Maxeiner and Darcus Phillips, had all entered the commercial world. Then several of my classmates have made good use of the teachers’ certificates which they secured. Bernice and Eva Beaman, Lillie Easten, Ruby Weber, Isabelle Gleich and Grace Pope are all school teachers and as far as I have learned they have attained various degrees of success. Johnnie Chismar, who used to be our star guard on our famous basketball team of ’21, is earning an honest living by manual labor. Some people think John could have done better had he prepared himself for a professional musician, but I think since he is so happy as a junk dealer and cheers so many housewives with his call, “Any RAGS! Any rags, any bones, any bottles today? There is a jolly, jolly, ragman a-comin’ this way. that he is doing his bit and he need not fear to look any man in the face. Leora Saflford is a state worker in organizing community clubs in rural districts and instructs them in scientific cooking, cold canning, etc. Lillie Mae Sullivan has conducted an exclusive tea room in Chicago for the past five years and though she was enjoying fine patronage, she has given it up and returned to her home. Like Postum, There s a reason. Earl Hill, our business manager, has won for himself not little fame as an architect. His plans have recently been accepted for the building of a new P. O. in Chicago. Helen Bridge has a civil service position in Ohlman. She never did care for heavy work, rather preferring to be exact. Clarence Essnian is now traveling auditor for the Big Four railroad and is demanding a good salary. This completes the list of the Nokomis Seniors of ’21 and as I call them to mind as they used to be and as they are now, I am proud of them. They have made a good showing. Each and every one of them have found work which was beneficial. While I, like the others, have tried to do my best, however poor it may be, in all I have undertaken. inindininiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiHffliiiniiMiaiiiniiiMiiwiifliiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiniMUiiM
