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

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

Hildigard Ott has a number of friends at school, mainly because she does all the hard problems and translations for a number of her classmates. Miss Mildred Gaus is specializing in a study called Latin and ostensibly in love theses sent through the mail. We do not know who the young man is. Marie Johnson in her wanderings came to South High and said she wanted to become the valedictorian of the class. Her wish was granted and Miss Johnson receives the Journal medal and the good wishes of all her classmates. Frank Mixer, the great favorite of the ladies, blushes easily and it is for this reason that he tries to avert a conversation with anyone. Edith Olin is of such a retiring disposition that she prefers to be alone and it is for this reason that she does not enter many lines of activity. Elsa Long is considered rather serious minded by some—but those that really know her never make that assertion. She studies some but not too much. Helen Long is very Frank, which one we will not say. Her chief characteristics are German, modesty, sense of humor and Deutsch. Earle Lawler was born very young and never got over it. His mouth is one of the conspicuous features of the high school. Earle draws pictures all day long and when he has nothing else to do he goes to classes. Frank Ludolph came to the high school with the intention of earning the athletic “S.” He won it and since then has been selling popcorn and jollying the girls. Miss Essie Mason has avoided being a shark and has often been found among those reported failed. She has one grievance, saying that the lessons are too short. Nellie Leland became famous by managing the famous girls’ basket ball team of ’03. She is a modest little creature and seldom gets her French until she gets into class. She paid her Senior dues on time and we love her for it. 19
