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

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

THE WIERD FUTURE OF THE CLASS OF ’03 Foretold by Marion. G. Richardson, J. Raymond Barse and Reuben Edquist LAST week there was an ad in the “Personals.” A well-to-do farmer in the southern part of the state wanted a good looking lady, not too old, to grace his table when there’s company and to grace the kitchen and sweep the floors other times.” Apply in person to Fred H. Blomgren. Hilda Youngren is learning to be a nurse; she’s filling her heart as well as her purse; she nursed Mr. New-rich thru typhoid fever; now he says he cannot go ’way and leave her. Rose Weisman has edited a set of Shakespeare’s plays in story form which are said to rival Chas. Lamb’s attempts in that direction. Ernest Stover makes a specialty of raising fast horses. Last week his “Fitzsimmons” took a purse of $4 for making the half mile jog time, 33 1-3 minutes. Nels Vireen and plump little Marie, have settled down now as snug as can be; a home they have where Marie is boss, and ’tis said that poor Nels never dares to be cross. Ethel Brooberg is seen frequenting the bargain counters down town very often and she had three new hats last summer. However, she has not bought her cat and parrot yet. Lulu Walton and Clara Peterson are conducting a lunch counter at the Union Depot where they sell chicken bone sandwiches (25c each). Dwight Bell made the world ring a year ago with the discovery of perpetual motion. We always knew there was good metal in him. Tho Dwight was the only Bell of ’03, we felt sure there another at sometime would be; this is now the case; yet we hardly dare tell, but they say that Miss Pearson now Is-a-bel. Harry Brenchley is a good, sensible man. They are running him for mayor now out in Denver. 23
