EDITORIAL the first Senior annual published by a South has endeavored to print only those items which would render the book attractive as a reminder of the happy days in South Side’s “darksome halls” in which we left the “Clock.” In whatever way this annual may excel, credit should be given to the class poet, historian, prophets, the class day committee, and the associate editors, Harriet Brearley, Blanche Scal-len, Mildreth Haggard, Earle Lawler, Arthur Has-lund, and Irving Robitshek. Whatever blame there is should be laid up against the editor, Ernest Stover, for in this “Annual” he is the “root of all evil.” Whoever receives any “knocks” at our hands please pass them up as they are given, only in good natured fun. Whoever seeks vengeance please remember that the editor has left town. Whoever receives any flattery, please consider it as such, for we mean no harm. Whoever receives this book please accept it that you may keep it and keep it that you may remember the greatest of all classes, the Class of 1903. class for a number of years, the editorial 7

I remember, I remember, The Physics, our delight. The booklets and the “Pancoasts” red We loved with all our might! The class-room where the teacher drew Strange circles in the air; We’d like to skip this period, But, Oh! we didn’t dare! I remember, I remember, One time I didn’t flunk; The girls were eating candy then, And offered me a chunk. ’Twas but a piece of peppermint, But now ’tis little joy To know I’ll ne’er be treated more In school, by girl or boy. I remember, I remember, Demand for boys was great. We used to think their number small, And sadly mused on fate. But for their number, they, of course, Are never to be blamed; And of our boys we certainly Have never been ashamed. I’ll remember, I’ll remember, My class through thick and thin; Of her I always shall be proud, As I have always been. Her metal’s of the truest steel; And may it always be South High school's noblest, truest class, Dear class of 1903! —Mabel Marcella Parker, Class Poet. 6

THE CLASS OF ’03—DRAMATIC AND LITERARY n a dramatic and literary line, the South high school is in the ascendancy. The pupils are more highly developed in this branch than any of the other schools. Judging by the preliminary contest, the Commencement program will include a very fine group of essays. Raymond Barse, a very ambitious young man, will speak very forcibly upon “Ambition.” We fear lest at times he shall become so passionate that his ambition will break all restraint and ascend to such heights as the characters of Milton to whom he will refer. The especial value of Nellie Leland’s essay lies in its practical common sense. Moreover, we can believe every word of it because Nellie practises all that she preaches. We shall be really surprised if she can leave her new baby brother, Gaston, long enough to graduate. Mabel Parker, the class poet, will give us the highly finished result of her efforts, an essay on historical novels. Mildreth Haggard, a very didactic young lady, will draw the veil from nature, and show us a few of its lessons. Reuben Edquist, one of the South High stars, and a very energetic worker, will deliver an oration on “The Dignity of Labor.” The flower of the program, however, will be Marie Johnson and Rose Schussler, who have attained to such remarkable scholarships. The workers in the Literary Society, though few, 8
