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

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

“Lawton and Rossman, Attorneys at Law,” Is a firm well known in town; For George and Claude have both worked hard And fairly earned renown. The two are portly gentlemen, And whatever else they be, In ery way to this very day, Reflect credit on old ’03. Hattie Peterson and Ellen Holmgren are quietly established in two little cottages side by each; and in the afternoons before time to get supper they sometimes read of old Polyphemus and Achemenides as of yore. A certain Miss Clara, well known in the school, Who sits ’cross the aisle from her friend, Julia Buel, Has determined for one thing her temper to rule And thro life's stormy battles to ever keep Cool. Minnie Friedman is assistant librarian at the Public Library. A good place to indulge her literary tastes. Frank Ludolph now owns the grocery across the street from South High. First day of school he usually treats all the little girls to olives. Marian Drew attracted the city’s attention last week, All the town for her recital tickets did seek; But the best of it all was that Marian drew A millionaire artist and took his name too. Frank Mixer is now pictured in the papers as “Padrewski’s successor.” He used to play divinely for the Literary Society at old South High. Nellie Leland takes care of children whose mothers work during the day. No extra charge for chastisement. Elsa and Ella Long have gone to Dakota where Ella has opened a school of piano musk for spinsters under forty-three and Elsa has found a solace in a great big, broad-shouldered Dakotan. Earle Lawler is starring with the Realistic Theater Co. Last week he made love to the heroine in such a natural manner that she fainted and had to be carried off the stage. 26
