Hildegard Ott and Edith Olin are pursuing knowledge to its utmost heights. They always were very studious at school. From common clay, as statues great arise, Just so Frank Clay has risen to great fame; And as a Master Mechanic most wise, Has won himself an honored, lasting name. Zoe Donaldson has won world wide renown by the publication of her latest work entitled “The Pleasures of Travel.” Fannie Zimmerman makes fudge for those sly “U” girls to give to their “bests.” The fame of Irving Robitshek’s hard-headed business sagacity and ability as a successful manager has extended so far as to cause a lucrative offer to be made him which we understand he has accepted. It is a position as manager of an “Old Ladies’ and Orphans’ Home” in Eastern New York. Carl Huntington is a second Will Honeycomb. The trouble with Carl was, he was never content to confine his attentions to one. The Misses Mason, Essie and Maud Are both attaining praise and laud. They both are artists of great renown, And are soon to come back to their native town. Their prices will be within everyone’s reach, For they’re now painting minatures at $300 each. Harry Higgins is prospering and at night when he returns from his office in the Chamber of Commerce, he assists any high school student who finds difficulty with Greek nouns. But Fannie Higgins developed a severe case of the sofa pillow mania and ever since she graduated she has done nothing but make cushions of every conceivable size, shape and color. Since Reuben’s appearance in the “Shakespeare” at school, He’s continually taken the part of a “fool Without doubt he will in the world be known, If he’ll just let writing poems alone. 28

Ezra Oberg is tax collector for the 18th District in Minnesota, N. B.—He has erected six flat buildings since he started to serve (?) the public. May O’Connell and Ellen Hall have a hairdressing establishment in the Syndicate Arcade. Sympathetic reduction in price to old maids. Swenney Bang is leader of the “Go Lightly Chorus.” Serenades a specialty. Agnes Klein keeps all the small boys of class of ’04 busy distributing handbills advertising her sure cure for giggles: 50c per bottle. Eva Enger broke last year’s record for speed as a stenographer. Eva is certainly a hustler. Harry Hoover won the world’s championship as an all-around athlete this year. Ellen Eide (so they say) sets the supper table each night for two. Mildreth Haggard is making a tour of the U. S. lecturing on “Woman’s Rights.” Clara Friedheim is teaching kindergarten. All pupils must be escorted inside the room by their big brothers. Clara Marvin now occupies the position of supervisor of music in the State High Schools of Idaho. Mabel Parker has just sold the second copy of her poems on “Dreams of Spring.” A man who helped house clean last May bought one and a bachelor artist bought the autograph copy. There may be hopes for Mabel yet. Howe’er else changed the class, Our Gertrude is “Sweet William(s)” still; She has become a most learned lass, And in translating Sanskrit shows marvelous skill. Leslie Hughes late in life, after working successively as a geometry professor, a professional mountain climber and a hobo, has taken up the study of medicine. Anna Anderson has made herself very popular with her dancing school. She is at present making a tour of Europe and China, learning the latest steps. 27

The last we heard of Harry Stark he was acting the part of Le Beau in “As You Like It.” The career of Marion Richardson will doubtless be crowned with success, Among all the musicians of this wide land perhaps she’ll be known as the very best; We’ve only one bit of advice to give (which would be entirely needless for some), May she follow the Spectator’s mode of life and study herself entirely dumb. Ray Barse, of us all, is most influential Insured for ten thousand in the old “Prudential;” But greater fame waits on this owner of acres, If he’ll only remember “Blest are the peacemakers.” THE CLASS MEMORIAL On the evening of Friday, April 17th, the Senior class gave their annual entertainment to raise money for the class memorial. The entertainment was the most artistic and enjoyable one given in the Assembly Hall for years; the hall and stage were decorated with bunting and Oriental drapery; the programs were printed in most attractive style, being designed by Earle Lawler. The arrangements for the entertainment were made by Dwight Bell, chairman, Earle Lawler, Claude Rossman, Blanche Scallen, Clara Friedheim. The proceeds went to pay for the beautiful clock which the class decided to leave as a memorial to the school. The clock is 32 x 33 inches in size, with an 18-inch dial, upon which is painted in large letters, “ ’03,” and the motto, “Labor est non cassus.” The case is of solid mahogany, carved with fluted pillars on each side, the whole clock in the finest harmony of finish and design. As a work of art and utility, and as a most appropriate memorial of the class of 1903, the clock will hang in the hall for years to come, seen and appreciated by all. 29
