HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL finished reading it. It said it believed that she had not been able to finish it because of a little orange and black ribbon she had used for a book mark, for instead of reading it, she had gazed longingly upon the bookmark. It said that it had heard her talk about a young man who resided at Richland Center, who, it believed, had some connection with the book mark, and that it had often seen her count on her fingers and thumbs the days that must pass before the next VV. V. 0. L. contest would come. It went on to say that she was at the present time hard at work trying to devise some means by which she could retain the word “can’t” in her memory. It said she thought this a very important word, but for some reason or other had always found it very difficult to remember. I brushed the dust off the book and found it was a copy of “Sesame and Lilies,” which had belonged to Clara Stantorf, and thus another of the graduates of he Prairie du Chien High School in 1911 vas accounted for. The sixth book that I picked up was very nervous and sensitive. It said this was due to its former owner who had startled it so often with her loud and piercing voice. It said when a bunch of school girls would get together if the previous owner would begin to speak every one else would have to keep still, whether she wished to or not, for no one could speak half as loud as she could. It said this young lady had lived in the suburbs of Prairie du Chien and that she never used the trolley-car, but always walked to school, as she thought it a very agreeable and healthful exercise. I asked the book where she was now and it said that she was a governess superintending the education of two children, who were both ‘quite deaf.’ I removed the dust from this one also and found it was a German book, “Gluck Auf,” that belonged to Ruth Collins, and so the sixth of my beloved fellow classmates was located. The next book I picked up said it had belonged to a very delicate young woman. It said she was always complaining that she was so very thin and had said she would give anything to be healthy looking like the other girls. It said she had often wished that she could live on a farm for a while, as she believed the country air would do her good. I asked it where she was now. It said that she was a school teacher and that all her pupils liked her very much. This book proved to be Ella Wetzel’s English History and then I knew that it was no wonder that the pupils all loved her. It also said that she had always been a very bright student and that all of her classmates had liked her very much. The eighth book I picked up was not very large. It said that its former owner had seemed to be very fond of it for a long time, for she always kept it near her and often consulted its pages. However she did not treat it in this manner all the time, but it thought it was the fault of the Annual, published in 1910, as its former owner spent so much time working on that, and did not have any time in which to make use of it. It said she had been a very good musician and orator. I asked ic if it knew where she was living at the present time and it answered she was an ardent supporter of the woman suffrage party for which side she had worked very hard in a debate when a Junior in High School I brushed off the dust and found that it was a “Basket Ball Rale” book which had belonged to Ida Martner. Now the eighth of my classmates i-- accounted for, The last book which I picked up said its previous owner had always kept it near her day and night and that it believed she liked it very much. It said that she was a very nice young lady and when I asked it what she was doing now, it said it believed she was a very well liked nurse and that her gentle manners and voice were in themselves powerful to heal the sick. I removed the dust and found that the book I held was Anna Becwar’s German Grammar and I thought, to myself, it was no wonder Anna always has such good German lessons, and with this book I was informed of the last of my classmates.
