Jergenson. Julius H. Waarvik. CLASS REVERIE Edna Masted, '20. How time does fly! It seems but a few Weeks ago 'since I was at our dear Scandinavia Academy, while in reality it is fifteen years. How I wish those days were back, al- though I am enjoying myself now. I love the deaconess work immensely. The patients are so kind and considerate that it is a pleasure to be with them. Memories come back to me of the days gone by, which were spent at the Academy. Naturally, I think of my dear classmates first. When we were freshmen, there were but four of the graduating class enrolled: Doris Danielson, Erling Blom, Roy Lovdale, and myself. The class has increased to twenty-six. How well I remember how we freshmen felt when we first enrolled. I remember Doris came into my room the first day of school and said, 'My, it makes a person feel funny to be here with all the seniors and other students, doesn't it? And the first time I saw Roy! He was short and thin. When I saw him standing by the door of the office, waiting to regis- ter, I thought, Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who is bashful. I drew this conclusion because he blushed so easily. Erling did not begin school until after Christmas, so naturally he attracted a great deal of attention. Before he came, we heard that Bud's little brother was coming and that he was so good-looking. He wore knickerbockers and looked very young.

THE TRUMPET 19 Item 7. Thus has the class of 1920 willed and bequeathed everything which it has held in common. There are yet other things which individuals hold dear, but are willing to bequeath these treasures, abilities, and privileges to the members of the coming Senior class. A-To Joseph Bakken, who is fond of lakeshores, pine groves, and moonlight evenings, do we bequeath the use of the pine grove west of the river. B-Cora Asmundson does hereby will and bequeath to Anna Hellum her hearty laugh. C-James Peterson wills six inches from the perpendicular distance from head to foot to Sever Anderson. D-We do hereby further will and bequeath to Leonard Danielson, who has an overflow of ability for blutiing, some- thing of its opposite characteristic, which is in the possession of Gladys Swenson. E--Mildred Erickson and Gladys Gurholt have nothing to will. but have found it more desirable to exchange length for breadth. F'-To Ruth Hanson do we bequeath Roy Lovdale's red hair. G-We do also hereby will and bequeath to the entire world all of Thelma Leean's class secrets. As it is impossible for Thelma to keep a secret. the World would soon have them all just the same. H-Gertrude Peterson wills to Hazel Evenson all her pet cats. This seems strange. but it is on account of the high cost of living. I-Ruby Rollefson and Amy Waller do hereby will their giggle to any one who should want it. Item 8. Before going further the class of '20 wishes to will and bequeath to the various profs the following: A-The commercial students do will to Miss Mortvedt all their old book-keeping sets to be put in her memory book.

THE TRUMPET 21 His hair was parted on the side. He had boils on his neck and sores on his face. He always looked down. His looks were greatly improved at the end of the year when his boils and sores were healed and his hair pushed back. I recall, however, my senior year the best of all, as that was the year of the burning of the Academy. It burned when We were home for Christmas vacation. What a blow it Was to receive a card, stating that the Academy, the school we had learned to love, had burned to the ground. I was sure we would have to discontinue school-work for a while at least, but no, we had a principal who was enthusiastic and seldom became discouraged. One who arranged matters so that we could be- gin school at the scheduled time. How glad we all were! As my mind wanders, I see our class president, Irving Knutson. He was also the business manager of the Trumpet and same year and did his work almost perfectly. He was a good speaker and a good leader, so I am sure he is making a success. Knut, it is said, can prepare a sermon in half the time it takes an ordinary person. He is married and his little wife is a great help to him in his church work. Now I see the valedictorian of the class, Thelma Leean. Thelma used to speak and give readings while at school. I was not at all surprised when she told me she was a teacher in elo- cution at the University of Wisconsin. She declares so well that her adience is moved to tears as well as laughter at times. She has pupils coming from far and near. I remember how well Thelma played her part in the Senior play, Mr, Bob, she being the main character. While at school she was a bril- liant student and always accomplished what she undertook. She is well liked by all her pupils and her cheerful countenance is a source of inspiration to them all. Now I see another familiar face, that of the salutatorian, Roy Lovdale. He attended college the year after his gradua- tion and has now received his degree. He was not satisfied with this schooling alone, so he attended the University for a number of years also. He has been doing a great deal of ex- perimenting along the scientific lines, and is now the world's greatest scientist. He certainly was a bright boy while at school and had friends everywhere. For these reasons he is advancing rapidly. The newspapers are full of the fact that Roy Lovdale has made a great invention. He has invented a curling iron that is run by electricity and the magnetism of the earth. His hair can now be curled in thirty seconds. He
