Qu.. - enterprises ever undertaken are Theile, 'Wenner, Trompen, Packson, Schmidt, Peacock, Schulz and Rothlisberger, who are bound for the north pole via airshipg and as no member of the class of 1903 has yet failed in any undertaking, the world will doubtless soon be startled by the announcement of their arrival there. In a class of 150 there is, of course, great variety of talent, and therefore it is not surprising that a number have taken to the operatic stage. Beaumont, Gahlman, Hardes, Belknap and Craig are making great' names for themselves in roles requiring high tenor voices, and frequently draw tears to the eyes of their audiences. Heller, Hopper, Hegge and Hughes,the four I-Ps, are doing remarkable work as bass-o profundos, but even they are eclipsed by one whose name is a house- hold word, that name is Wfilliam Arthur Mitchell. Descending to great' depths and ascending to lofty heights, he entrances his hearers and holds them spellbound to the close. Ilseng, Jackson, Kessler, Linaker, Kocher and Mailer are in a unique but paying business in New Jersey. They are engaged in the raising and exporting of draft mo-squitoes, which they ship to London and Paris, where they are fast supplanting that smaller and more irritating animal, the horse. Another great enterprise of which Lind, Maxwell, Roberts, Patton, Redmond and Sliiels are the principal promoters, is that of raising ponies, which are guaranteed. not to balk at sight of a pro- fessor, and which will carry the rider up any grade llfagoner and Moore are peacefully settled in Turkey, and incidentally they have Thanksgiving on an average of once a week. Wfeaver. Ross and Wfalkow are in the Philippines with a patent medicine company, and at last reports, were doing more for their country in the way of rid- ding the islands of Filipinos than the regular soldiers themselves. Last, but not least, is Qlson, our faithful president, with his band of faithful followers. He is having wonderful success in his eHorts at spreading the gospel. The mantel of Ballington Booth has fallen on his shoulders, and with the pounding of drums and blaring of trumpets as an inspiration, he holds his street audiences enthralled. As assistants in this great work he has faithful followers in the persons of Barber, Church, Blake, Bergborn. Grove and Danterive, who work zealously for the cause and rake in many a shekel. 139

Heyman and Land are teaching English, and from last accounts were having great success. Coming down one of the principal streets of Chicago is seen a band of men in marching order, all heavily armed with hatchets and stones, under the leadership of a women, who is, in fact, no other than Mrs. Carrie Nation, who arrived in town viacy- clone, direct from Kansas. Among the marchers are noticed the fol- lowing members' of the class of IQO3, each more enthusiastic than the other: Robertson, who is directly behind the fair leader, Eckstrom, Helbert, Ingersoll, Janes, Laflitte, Yeamens, Fox and G-reely. Gott- lieb is engaged in running a large daily, the circulation of which far surpasses any other in the land. Un his staff many illustrious names are seen, for instance, there stand the names Williain john Thayer, city editor, Henry S. Shipstead, sporting editor, and Wfilliam Joseph Skelly, society reporter. Among the 'ftyposw in the compos- ing room are noticed tw-or faces which have a- familiar look, and they prove to be the devils, Sauer and Phillips, while Blackmore holds the position of 'office boy. Crane' is in Europe most of the time, taking snapshots', for the paper, and McAvo-y has headquarters in Pekin, China, from whence he reports the Boxer troubles. Some of our members have risen from obscurity to places of great prominence. McGaw has been appointed consul to Cairo, Egypt, Bradley holds the office of Secretary of State, Brunner is Minister to Sweden, and Miller is,President of one of the principal countries in South America. Cf that loveliest of flowers, woman, we find six enrolled upon our class list: Mesdames Aren, Cannon, Norman and Carlene, who are found in Idaho, raising chickens by the incubator process, and Misses Forrest and Vlfesh, who are running a fashionable hair-dress- ing and manicuring shop- in Podunk. Carlile has a po-sition of trust with the quartet in Idaho, which consists of overseeing the karyoki- netic process go-ing on in the incubators. Une of the most successful ventures made by the members of this talented class is a gold mining industry in Africa. At the head of the concern is Borjesson, who speaks the Transvaal Dutch with great Huency. Among the stock- holders most largely interested are Bronson, McNinch, Normoyle, Huff, Lawrence, Courtice and Doerbecker. The Smiths are en- gaged in the horseshoeing business, with every prospect of soon being able to retire to private life. Engaged in one of the greatest 138
