CLASS DAY PERSONALS V TjTtSS Anna Anderson has taken the regular four-V' year course n three and one-half years, and ' will graduate with her name nearly on the honor roll. Never mind Anna, there will come a time some day. The innocent and childlike countenance of Miss Lily Askeland came very near being forgotten by the committee, but they knew something was wrong until they noticed that they had omitted the name of Lily Evangeline Askland. Sweeney J. Bang began his fussing career about 1883, when he awoke and found himself admired by all the fair sex of his city. He often dons his pink tights and gymnastic athletic smile and graces the basket ball floor with his presence. This young man did not spend more than six years at South High. The mind of J. Raymond Barse outgrew the grade schools and he is now running the South High school. To him there is no snap like solid geometry. Raymond is the smartest and prettiest boy in the class and could easily get a job at some nice soda water fountain. The first high school spelling that Dwight Bell ever did was at Central, where he lost a spelling match. The funny thing about him is that on April Fool’s Day he succeeds in making a fool of himself as well as of others. During his school course he has been connected principally with a bright red necktie, collection of class dues, listening to fraternity stories and telling a few jokes. About 1887 Fred Blomgren learned how to walk and since then he has been a strong man on his feet and has just walked through South High school. It took him about four years. Miss Eva Enger has her sunny locks hung over her temples like a golden fleece and many Jasons come in quest of it. 15

We defeated Hamline University by a score of 17 to 2 and this institution defeated St. Paul Central. The Central and Mechanic Arts High schools of St. Paul both refused to play us, so they cannot claim the championship. In this way we were made champions of the Northwest. In the spring of 1903 at the indoor meet, South High was very successful, winning the meet by a large score, Myrick, Bang and Capron were the stars and the former secured the high individual score of the day. The class of ’03 has contributed many worthy men to the athletics of the school. Among these notables is Mr. Leslie Hughes, manager of the 1902 baseball team of the winning indoor track team of ’03, and the all-star center of our high school eleven for two years; Mr. Sweeney Bang, captain of the track team and the best end South High has ever known; Ernest Stover, manager of basket ball for two years and also one of the leading half-backs of our famous team of ’02. Frank Ludolph, another one of our football players and also an exceptionally good baseball player. This constitutes the list of well known athletes who are members of the class of ’03. The class can congratulate itself on having such men among its members and our only hopes and wishes are that the future classes shall produce such great men, that they will continue to arouse interest in athletics and that they will support the various teams in as great array as the class of ’03 has done. —Irving H. Robitshek. Editor's Note:—The author of the above is considered by everybody interested in South High athletics, to be the best football manager the school has ever had. 14

Mathilda Bockman is a young lady of such versatile mind that few fields remain unexplored by her. Miss Bockman is a very accomplished young lady and in social circles she moves as a veritable queen. Miss Harriet Brearley says her chief study is French, but her mind is placed more on a young man at present attending the University. Miss Brearley, when a young lady puts on a gentleman’s hat there is sure to be something to follow. Miss Brearley has already demonstrated and proven this. Miss Ethel Brooberg came near spending more than the allotted time at the high school. She says she came to South High to see how little she knows, and says she never regrets having come here. Miss Julia Buell as a freshman entered Central High but was soon convinced that the class of ’03, South High, was the place for her and so one day she strolled over to Cedar avenue and Twenty-fourth street, and registered as Julia Thurber Buell, ’03. Mr. Charles Castle being of a very sweet and loving disposition, he is known to his friends as “Sunshine.” At present he is employed as chairman of the “frat” social committee. Miss Clara Cool is beautifully frank in acknowledging what is probably quite true of several others, that she hopes to get married some day, but not seeing any immediate prospect in that direction she is preparing to teach. Miss Anna Dahl is very small in stature but makes up for it by a very large smile that always raises the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere several degrees. Miss Donaldson is as neat as a pin and her very carriage means business. Miss Donaldson has many friends but she has a little weakness for being exclusive. Miss Mabelle Dukelow has at least received one vote for being the best natured and ought to receive more for she so cleverly combines the virtues of a “dig” and a “good fellow.” For further particulars see chairman of committee. 16
