Harriet Peterson says she has no distinguished relatives but we are sure that modesty alone compels her to refrain from mentioning any. Nothing short of a cyclone could tear Marion Richardson away from an interesting book and the same method must be used in separating her from her friends. The shy young man known as Irving Robitshek, can always be depended on for a “rough house.” After spending his allotted time at high school he says love-making is his principal and most valuable study. For this reason the girls’ basket ball team of ’03 won so very few games. Irving show your teeth. Rose Weisman is a shining light among her classmates. Her great fault is her great desire to excel in literature. We hope she will soon outgrow this idea. If in a friend you search for fidelity, faithfulness, kindness and counsel, you will not be disappointed in Carolyn Smith. Lula Stobbs has the reputation for being the best natured and jolliest girl in the class. Miss Stobbs is the congenial secretary of the famous class of ’03. In Blanche Scallen we behold the Senior Amazon. This young lady is fond of athletics and is an exceptionally good basket ball player, having captained the team of ’03. Lastly not to leave out any of her virtues she talks. Of course she studies; how much we will not say. Agnes Steming is noted for two things, she can ask a question in Mr. Westerson’s class without blushing ten minutes before or after and she has ideas. When Ernest Stover entered South High school he made Solomon look like thirty cents. He missed the valedictory by three votes, the flag essay prize by two votes and getting fired by one. The South High school was a fitting place for this ambitious nature and he has been managing everything in sight and is now editor-in-chief of the Senior Year Book. Rebecca Schwartz has a pair of dark black eyes that seem to pierce you, but she is mild and very gentle. She is not a shark but generally has her lessons. Rose Schussler has a remarkable past which for her sake we will not mention. We are awaiting some 21

Maud Mason decided that her talents would be wasted at any other place than South High, and it is for this reason that we behold the light of her coun-etnance among us. The smile of Clara Marvin (like the poor) is always with us and it will be a sorry day when she leaves South High. Marie Nelson came near being left off the honor roll, but owing to a slight exertion on Miss Nelson’s part her name now appears in large letters. The flirtatious young lady known as May O’Connell, must mend her ways if she ever intends to take life seriously. Skipping periods and coming to school any hour of the day is not conducive to Senior girls. N. B.—This is sarcastic. Ezra Oberg came to school in order to avoid working for a living but vengeance overtook him and he regrets it very much but is making the best of it. Mabel Parker has a reputation for loving nature and she often takes a trip to the farms near Bloomington in order to admire the beauty in nature. Agnes Kline came to school in order to get away from washing dishes and has often regretted as she says there is too much work at school. She likes chemistry pretty well, if we may judge, for in one period she broke five test tubes and inhaled a dose of chlorine. Clara Peterson says nothing of her own powers but keeps quiet and saws wood. John Quinn was first a freshman but his hair has grown now. Mr. Quinn received the majority of votes for being the largest and biggest bluffer of the class. Isabel Pearson is a tall, willowy figure with red cheeks. Greek verbs at her tongue’s end probably account for the Grecian bend in her walk. Claude Rossman, president of the best class ever graduted, says that were it not for his good looks he would have gotten a vote for presidency. Mr. Rossman has a reputation for working people and he has such taking ways. So the class photographers say. 20

more facts and in a few days we will publish a new romance. Miss Schussler is salutorian of the class. Ernest Swenson spends most of his time quoting the following from the Scriptures: “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s seat by the window, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor’s chisel nor his plane, neither shalt thou covet any apparatus in chemistry and thou shalt not covet anything that is thy neighbor’s.” Like many others, Agnes Taafe does not believe in high school examinations and one of her grievances is “quizzes.” The pleasantest moment of her life was her first vacation. Nels Vireen, our sergeant-at-arms, received his preparation for his present position from Bob Fitzsimmons, Jeffries and John L. Sullivan. His training along these lines speaks well for his instructors. Jeanette Watson came to the high school to get what Matthew Arnold called “Sweetness and light.” No one thinks she ever regrets it for her greatest delight is examinations. From what we notice we believe Gertrude Williams is a firm believer in women’s rights, but a casual observer might not notice it. Hilda Youngren says among her many regrets is too short vacations around Thanksgiving and Memorial Day. For what reason we do not know. Carrie Wangaard is terribly bright and is a good worker. Chemistry is her fault; chemistry is her cry; she’ll stick to chemistry while she lives—chemistry till she dies. Celia Tanner has acquired a great appetite and like the poor, it is always with her. Her friends keep their pockets full of oyster crackers for her. Lulu Walton says her high school grievance is that she can’t play football. A basket ball she loves to toss; and all her classmates she loves to boss. Fanny Zimmerman has taken many prizes, mainly booby. She says her best study is the one in which she has to do the least work. Respectfully 'submitted, Irving H. Robitshek. J. Earle Lawler, Chairman. Ellen M. Hall, Class Day Committee. 22
