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

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

Ellen Hall won the strength and lung test for four successive years. This comes from being president of the Girls’ A. A. and playing basket ball. Miss Hall was one of the greatest inspirations to the football team of ’02. Harry Higgins became famous by yelling for some Mellin’s food when he was born. With this as a diet in his younger days he thrived until now he is a full-grown man and holds the record for having been sent out of class more times than any other student. Fanny Higgins is a typical Howard Chandler Christie girl. She says she came to school because she had to but does not regret it now owing to the number of nice boys who sit near her in the class room. Jenny Harris came to school to study and one of her chief delights is to argue. We can recommend Miss Harris as one who can see two sides of a question. As soon as Ellen Holmgren was old enough to understand anything she made up her mind to come to South High. She has one distinguished relative in “Eve.” Leslie Hughes, sometimes known as Apollo, many years ago, set many maiden heart-strings quivering. He managed to elude the fair sex long enough to ne-ter South High. Leslie soon settled down to a quiet life and quit the practice of talking to one girl, but now talks to several. Mr. Hughes with the kind assistance of his German teacher nearly made the honor roll. Carl Huntington first began to play the horn and other bum instruments about five years ago. He continued to play “bum” notes until now he leads the S. H. S. Orchestra. We can not find any town in the U. S. that will claim Carl as one of its sons. Jennie Lindquist is not a shark but she is in the habit of having her lessons. She loves all her teachers and for this reason she was voted third on the honor roll. 18
