THE CLASS OF ’o3: A STUDIOUS ONE. N glaring headlines we beheld in that well-known weekly, “The Minneapolis Telegram”—“The Pride of Prof. A. N. Ozias! Good Reasons for Showing It in Regard to Present Graduating Class at South High School.” It stated that the class this year was a record breaker, both as to size and scholarship. This is very true—for there are seventy-four in the class, and many of the students have attained to very high averages. The valedictorian is Marie Johnson, who has the remarkably high average 95-33- Rose Schussler, the salutatorian, is a close second, with 95.19. The others on the honor roll are as follows: Jennie Charlotte Lindquist 94,23, Blanche Wallace Scallen 94.15, Anna C. Dorothy Dahl 93.77. Helen E. Long 93.44, Claribelle Friedheim 92.85, Mildreth Janet Haggard 92.69, Nels John Vireen 92.68, Elsa Beryl Long 92.15, Gertrude Hanna Williams 91.69, Hilda Youngrcn 91.52, Jennie Harris 91.04, Celia Mildred Tannar 90.69, Charles Ernest Stover 90.67, Rose Weis-man, 90.12, Marie Nelson 90.09. A great number who have not quite reached ninety are still so very near that they deserve a great deal of credit as well as those more successful. Though the class is so bright and seemingly studious, Miss Watts was heard to say that there are only five dignified ones in the whole list. She did not mention any names, but we knew from the look in her eyes that she meant in aU probability Reuben Edquist, Harry Higgins, Harriet Brearley, Ernest Stover and Ellen Hall. Reuben and Harry, the bright, shining lights of Miss Marsh’s Virgil class: Harriet, the poetically and otherwise inclined one; Ernest, on the whole rather lazily inclined ; and Ellen, the pride and joy of Mr. Westerson’s United States History class. Like all other classes, it is composed of “all sorts and conditions” of young men and young women, but it is on the whole an excellent class, and doubtless no one will see its like again for many years. —Blanche Wallace Scallen.

THE GATHERING OF THE CLANS N the midst of all this rejoicing and the praise which the class of ’03 is receiving, it really is a shame to mention it, but the truth of the matter is, this great and illustrious class has been condemned by outsiders for being clannish. And it must be admitted that the charge is true. The class contains all sorts of cliques, frats and sororities. Among these we see the “Seven American Classics,” “The Great Trio,” “The S. H. Quartette” and last but not least, the Phi Beta Sigma sorority and the Gamma Sigma fraternity. The first named “clan” consists of seven very studious and classical young ladies, who shine in all their classes. They are all on the honor roll and that you may recognize their works in future years, we herewith attach their names, Clara Friedheim, Rose Schussler, Anna Dahl, Mildreth Haggard, Gertrude Williams, Celia Tannar and Ella Long. The “Trio” consists of the most dignified (?) young ladies in the class, being Harriet Brearley, Ellen Hall and Blanche Scallen, all noted for the earnestness which they display in the pursuit of knowledge. Now, gentle reader, just to prove that there are a few boys in the class we speak of the great and only “S. H.” quartette. These four young gentlemen arc the pride and pet of Miss Marsh’s sixth period Virgil class. But for them the recitations would become monotonous and uninteresting. With their assistance however, things are kept moving. In their number we discover “Bob” Edquist, “Cheerful Charlie,” “Happy Harry,” and “Plain Old” Haslund. 4
