South High School - Tiger Yearbook (Minneapolis, MN)

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

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

Miss Marian Drew is a young lady with the kindness of Socrates and the logic of Aristotle, and is probably a survival of those attic days of glory when independence of thought flourished in all its verity and might. Reuben Edquist came to the South High school looking for a home. He has made a careful study of the young ladies with a view of determining their ages but said that it has proven a dismal failure. Miss Ellen Eide is a member of the famous family of which South High had the honor of graduating two, one in 97 and one in 99. Miss Eide is very modest, but nevertheless is very popular with both sexes. When Louis Engdahl was born many dogs began to bark and children began to cry. This was done because the militia did not have enough material of which to fire a royal salute. Mr. Engdahl’s only relative is Christopher Columbus. Miss Susan Fielder began her capillary rusting some eighteen years ago and now has a head of auburn hair. Blood of a reddish tinge and Ayer’s Sarsaparilla flow through her veins. Miss Friedheim says Physics was her nicest study. This and probably one other reason accounts for her being in the Science Lecture room so much. Minnie Friedman is of a proud spirit. She fears neither the chemistry teacher nor the military man (Sweeney Bang) and comes out saying that she delights in skipping periods. Florence Grime came to the high school to get an education. In this way she differs from most of us. She says she never had a mean professor. We feel that we must warn the public of Afildreth Haggard’s work. She says she is in danger of failing in every study when the truth is she is a shark. We hope that Miss Haggard will soon see the errors of her ways. A rumor was afloat that someone had seen Arthur Haslund smiling but we have not been able to assure ourselves of the truth of this statement. 17
