Miss Marie Johnson, the distinguished authority in German and Latin, has recently compiled a second edition of Johnson’s Universal Encyclopedia. Mildred Gaus has, in consideration for future H. S. Seniors, compiled a new “Advanced Algebra,” without any surds. Lulu Stobbs and Anna Dahl, have formed a great combine, they’ve opened up an “Old Maid’s Hall” and live in style quite fine. Our classmate, Celia Tannar, with her entrancing manner, has won a most wealthy bachelor, who is quite a suitable match-for-her. Lily Askeland is making a great success of the intelligence office she is conducting on Hennepin avenue. Last year she arranged three marriages and found employment for eight hired girls. Jennie Harris and Rebecca Schwartz have been teaching school for six years and still declare they are not yet on the matrimonial market. Arthur Haslund’s a sailor lad, and sails the deep blue sea; for safety his ship’s the best to be had— cheap rates to the class of ’03. Conscientious Susie, on leaving school, joined a maiden’s baseball nine and from the latest reports concerning her we find that she is still left Fielder. Jennie Lindquist does proof reading for the N. Y. World. She always was quiet and read so much. Edna Goodrich has patented a ten-cent lunch for H. S. students; contents of the box, one pickle, half slice of pie, two sardines, one bun and one piece of taffy. Louis Engdahl has to his intense delight obtained a position as assistant professor in chemistry at the School for Feeble-minded down at Faribault. You all remember Carrie, our quiet Miss Wan-gaard; she vowed she’d never marry—yet already she’s chosen a “pard.” Agnes Taafe copies compositions for high school pupils with disabled hands. That’s one of her old duties. Harriet Brearley is still Miss Brearley—by choice! 24

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

Mathilda Bookman, true to the training of her youth, has gone to Africa as a missionary. In our class there was a boy up to the Senior year, And of the fame he’s reached since then you presently shall hear; He’s now a multi-millionaire with automobiles three, And folks say now that Chas. Castle next president will be. Jeanette Watson has settled down to quiet domesticity. Wise (?) girl, Jeanette. Ernest Swenson is the inventor of the scriptoscope. It will write an essay on any subject whatever. Too bad Ernest didn’t make his discovery when we were Freshmen. Out on a lonely western ranch, lives our Miss Scal-len, our only Blanche; but her name is not Miss Scal-len now—it’s been changed for another—you know how. Florence Grime is an old maid high school teacher and they say it’s a hopeless case. Love in a cottage with baked beans for two,” For Miss Mabelle Dukelow would never do; She’s mistress of a mansion in England, in Kent, Where her charms are shown to their full extent. She’s taken a place as an American should, And gained greater honor than an English belle could. We only hope before she grows gray, She’ll come back o’er th’ Atlantic, determined to stay. Agnes Stenning drills the girl’s Megaphone Brigade of all four Minneapolis High Schools. She writes yells to order. Carolyn Smith has changed her name for one more uncommon. It saves confusion of letters. John Quinn has just issued the 5th edition of his thrilling translation of Virgil. We remember that John showed remarkable precocity in this direction in the second period Virgil class. As far as can be ascertained Julia Buel is simply a lady of leisure. 25
