CLASS BOOK, 1904 SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL, MINNEAPOLIS Being a Chronicle of IntereA to the Graduating Clau and Scholars of South High School for the Year 1904 (Class ffiistnru All human institutions have their incipiency, so it was with the class of 1904. Four years ago this class was brought forth conceived in learning and dedicated to the proposition that from first to last it would maintain the honor of the school. And now, as we look back, all must concede that this class so conceived and so dedicated has achieved most signal successes and established a standard in scholarship, sports and debating never before attained in the annals of the school. As freshmen we were, of course, subject to all the ailments that characterize freshmen in general. W e perhaps abused our new privileges somewhat but excepting occasional involuntary visits to the office we did not get into very serious difficulty. We knew nothing but were blissfully ignorant of it. “ hen ignorance is bliss tis folly to he wise,” says the poet, and we fully believed in the principle of the verse tho we had not yet learned its words. We did not then possess the independence that distinguishes us now. for the upper classmen and our environment had a lasting effect upon us. It was the period of our infancy and development. The dignified Seniors filled us with awe, the all wise Juniors inspired us to great deeds, the vain-glorious Sophomores, however, aroused our dormant ire. These were some of the sensations that we experienced as freshmen, but barring a minus now and then and the consequent parental admonition nothing occurred to disturb the serenity of our minds or to shatter our hopes and ambitions tor the future. It was not until we succeeded to the estate of Sophomores that 2 Class Book, 1904 we were given an opporunity to become distinguished. I hen we asserted ourselves, and the members of our class became prominent in the sports, and n the social and literary activities of the school. We even went so far as to organize a Sophomore class, a thing unprecedented in the history of the school, which fact shows our wonderful entu prise and progressiveness. This class was in every way a successful organization. Several meetings were held, all of which, both the president and secretary attended. ()ur class organization was, however, the least of our achievements for we beat both the Juniors and the Seniors in the patriotic essay contest. Goodsell carrying off the prize, a beautiful flag, which now adorns the stage in our auditorium. It was in our second year that we first became acquainted with the problems of geometry and learned how to prove that a straight line was not curved and numerous other self evident propositions. Some of 11s, however, took entirely too much for granted and learned to our sad discomfiture that a tangent at the P� room exit entered the office, for that was where we invariably landed. In the course of time we took up our abode in I� room, and it was while seated there that we became initiated into the mysteries of Miss Kerr’s system of exits and it was some time before we really found out which was the safest way of departure. As Juniors, we commenced the study of physics. We studied all about Matter. Energy, Force. Work and Efficiency, but the Matter with us evidently was that we lacked Energy and so did not exert enough Force to accomplish the Work with as high a decree of Efficiency' as wo should. We not only distinguished ourselves in the class room but partook in the social doings as well. Among the events worthy of commemoration was the picnic given by the girls’ sorority, the Beta Kappa Phi. Tho it rained, the merry-making was not hindered. We presented Shakespeare’s play, “Midsummer Night's Dream.” Our rehearsals were characterized by the absence of practice and the constant presence of the fudge box. Conceited by our elevation to Shakespearean actors, we ignored our routine duties and were not guilty of getting a lesson for a week or more previous to the presentation. Like all other affairs given by CI (i s s B o o k, 1904 3 members of our class, it surpassed everythin previously rendered. One morning as the mist cleared away, the Junior banner was beheld floating proudly in the breeze of South town in defiance of the whole Senior class, much to the chagrin of that honorable body. The culminating event of the year was the farewell hall that we gave to the Seniors. It was, probably, the most elaborate affair given by South High students. Our pen cannot find sufficient superlatives to justly depict the scene upon that memorable night. Let it suffice to say that the retiring dynasty resigned its prestige to the rising rulers with the best of grace and g xxl will, and harmony prevailed thruout. ot long after the hall we became Seniors. We at first found it somewhat difficult to maintain the dignity which our new and exalted position demanded, hut we soon adjusted ourselves to suit the new conditions. We went to our recitations with graver countenances and when we recited it was not with that timid, questioning look that had previously characterized 11s: hut with hold confidence in our powers we made rules in Virgil and formulated definitions and made axioms to suit exigencies in geometry. The chief event of our first term as Seniors was the winning of the foot hall championship. In spite of the greatest obstacles, lack of support and proper facilities for training our hoys succeeded in developing the strongest team in the state. The boys deserved recognition and the Senior class presented each member of the team with a handsome watch fob. Of all the classes which we attended during our Senior year the Civics class was probably the most interesting. In this class wireless telegraphy was developed to a high state of efficiency. 'The operators, however, worked under great difficulties and the messages transmitted by the feminine portion of the class were often intercepted by the boys who perused them with the greatest interest. One day for some unaccountable reason the members of the American history class were unable to recite: they seemed to he dazzled. A11 investigation was started and the cause was traced to Mr. Westerson’s new shoes which shone so resplendent-ly. In our Virgil class we experienced all the sensations to which the minds of human beings are subject. If the Aeneid of Virgil A Class Book. 1904 had never been produced, we might have survived our Senior year in full possession of our health and common sense. But alas, the whole year was marred by the study of that pagan script and at the end of it we found ourselves, like the ancient Latins, thinking backwards. One day the clock in our Virgil recitation room stopped. The suspense was simply unbearable. None of the awful places of which Virgil speaks could have caused a more intense nervous tension. Our achievements in the class room were insignificant when compared to the victories won by the members of the class in other lines. ()ur valedictorian not only secured the highest average for scholarship in the city but won second honors for the school in the “Lake Poets” essay contest. Another member of the class, a talented young lady, won third place in the State Debating League essay contest. Two members of the class were also on the school debating team which won the championship of the fifth and second congressional districts. These are but a few of the honors won by individuals and the class mav congratulate itself on having as members the stars of the championship football team, baseball team and divers other champions too numerous to mention. After a winter of study and work spring finally came around and the Beta Kappa Phi girls kindly invited the bovs to a picnic. 'I'lie boys brought eatables and naturally expected that the girls would pay expenses but they were disappointed. Leap year is not. after all, a blessing to the lx ys for they not only had to tackle the “grub” proposition but were kept in suspense as to their partners until some girl kindly condescended to ask them. The paramount issue of the year was, of course, the Senior Memorial. 'Flic means by which funds were to be raised caused considerable discussion. We finally decided upon the Journal Newsboys’ Band. At last we are readv to graduate. We have passed thru each of the successive stages, the stepping stones to seniority, supremacy and independence, and, as we stand upon the threshold of future activities, we look back and review, with pride, the career so glorious which has made us candidates for life’s battle. —Arthur Anderson.

Xo one seems to appreciate the trials of a country storekeeper. A man comes in and buys a fine saw and after using it a month brings it hack, claiming the saw has false teeth. Then another one comes in and says the auger I sold him bit him. Think of that! Buys an auger and gets hit for nothing. It just bores me. Now here comes a man into the store and he wants some chewin’ tobacco, and the first thing he asks for is Climax. I tell him that he ought not to have his climax first but should gradually work up to it—but he insists on having the Climax at once, contrary to all the rules of rhetoric. Then a man comes in with a little Colt to trade. Now don’t mistake me. 1 traded everything of value in the store for that little Colt. Some of those Colts have a forcible way about them. This one was a regular bulldog. I told the man to make himself at home. He did! He smoked a fifty-cent cigar at mv expense and said he enjoyed a gentleman's smoke. You see. he was a gentlemail of the road. Then here comes Jones’ wife for some canned fruit—some peaches—and she cant tell for the life of her what brand to take. But that’s an easy case. I simply tell her that Arthur Anderson likes the Hildebrand. (Door-bell rings.) Hello! Who’s thisr 6 C I a s s Boo k, i p o 4 Enter Sally Oatcake. Simpkins. Goo l morning, Sally. How’s all the folks this morning? Sally. O. they’re pretty fair, except that one of the turkeys has a had cold, but maw said it would get over that if you jest gave it time. James has hung his tin watch around its neck. He says that ought to give it time. Is there any mail for Oatcake’s this morning? Simpkins. Yes. here’s a postal for you, Sally, from George Townsend. W hat will John say when he finds out you’ve got a fellow in town ? Sally. I haven’t got any fellow in town. Simpkins. You hev, too. Here is his name signed “your steady. George.” and he began it “Dearest Sal.” You can’t fool me; it’s right here on this postal. Sally. What business have you got reading my mail. I’d like to know. Simpkins. Wal, the mail-man gave me all the mail upside down and how could I tell which was yourn until I’d read both sides. Resides, in looking at a question, its always best to look at it from both sides. Sally. You haven’t any business reading my mail, anyway. Rut say—I made up a poem on the wav down here this morning. Do you want to hear it? Simpkins. I didn't know you was a poet, but sally out. I’ll listen. Sally. (), I ain’t a registered poet. This is the way it goes: O, there once was a Jay Traveling with 2.000 of hay. IYrched on his unbought load. Said he to the long road: “What are the wild, weary, whimpering winds saying?” Straightway the road turned And would his question have spurned: Rut. from the look of surprise In the Jay’s Ion.some eyes, He took pity, I surmise. And answered, thus-wise: “The wistful, whistling, winter winds are haying, not say- Class Book, 1904 ing. They have been on a still-hunt for a summer clime, but have not found it and now are singing the pickle chorus.” Simpkins. The wind singing the pickle chorus! What do you mean by the “pickle chorus?” Sally. Why, fifty-seven varieties, of course. (Door-bell rings. Enter John.) John. Hello, Sally. Sally. Hello, John. Run out'of seed for plantin’? John. Xope. The boss sent me down for some tarnips and coffee. Simpkins. How much will you have, John? John (impatiently). (), I ain’t talking business now. Well, I haven’t seen you for the longest time. Sally. Simpkins. You might forget. John. 1 low much did you say ? John. O, a peck of coffee and half a pound of tarnips. Simpkins. What’s that? John. Make it a whole pound of tarnips. I’ll eat some on the way back. Sally. What do you think of the weather. John? John. Wal. I should think it was time for Winter hut the weather says Spring-er, I’m not well acquainted with it. Anyway there was scarcely any Coleburn the last week. Sally. If this warm weather keeps on, the Young leaves will soon start to Russel. I heard the Maybelles ringing this morn-ing. John. Is that so? It’s about time for the Swift fisherman to start searching for his Rates. I saw a Martin this morning and Mrs. Jones says a rooster Crew in Earnest. Sally. (). I’m so glad! Soon we can (iambic on the green again. My mother says that folks that hasn’t got some Ames don’t amount to much. What are you making such a wry face about. John ? John. Wal, if you’d been working in the fields for three weeks and planting nothing hut rye. I’ll bet you would make a rye-face. Sally. You’re always kicking, John. W hat’s the reason? John. Kixmocllcr is my name. I suppose. 8 Class Book, 1904 Sally. O, John! Do you remember a long time ago, when we used to go to that little Cedar-block school? John. And studied Shakspere under Mrs. Buck man? Sally. Yes. I’ll bet a straw you can’t tell me where that Morocco-bound prince fell down. John (tripping). 1 guess it was in Tripoli. Ninipkins (looking up from his books). “Suit the word to the action, the action to the word.” Sally. And do you remember how we had to get up and recite parts of the plays? John. Do I? (Runs his hands through his hair). Is this mv German lesson I see before me ? Come, let me grasp thee! I have thee not, yet I see thee still! Art thou but a vision, a night-mare as it were? Methinks it is a stern reality. Though 'tis not yet written, methinks I discern the blood-red spots of Miss Klampe’s pen on thy face. Away! Hither! I’ll none of thee. Xinipkins. John, do you remember the apparatus Mr. Cooke was going to have running in just a few days, when you were still juniors. John. Yes. Xinipkins. He pretty nearly has it in working order now. Sally. You don’t say! 1 didn’t expect that for several years yet. Sally. You remember how Marion Springer used to wear her hair parted in the middle, don’t you? John. Yes. Sally. There was a sale on “rats” soon afterwards—Marion wears her hair pompadour now. Xinipkins. W hy is it. John, that, like so many of those seniors, von never used to get your lessons? John. I did not alwavs get my algebra And never my civics knew; But I learned one date in history That is good enough for two. In nineteen hundred four. Columbus sailed the main. And in nineteen hundred four was Harold the IIarcfoot. slain; Class Book, 1904 9 In nineteen hundred four, King Philip won renown And ’twas in the year of nineteen-four that Reuben came to town. Great Alfred burned the cakes in nineteen hundred four; And when the angry dame came back, A1 ducked behind the door. She could not find a flat-iron, so grabbed a cord-wood stick— Rut, as I told you before. Great Alfred was too quick. 'I'lie great year nineteen-four heard Paul Jones name resound. In the same great year a little more of radium was found. We bought Louisiana in the year of nineteen-four; ’Twas the same time that young Georgie made Cornwallis feel so sore. King Solomon went to court in nineteen hundred four. Jones built a house that year, it had a hardwood floor; Noah sailed his Ark in nineteen hundred four. The arc-light came out then, twas never seen before. A great many more I could tell to those who may he waiting around to hear. But pause I must, for a cause that is just—To wipe off a pensive tear. For, in that year, a famous class went out of South High’s door. 'Twas the greatest class, of all the mass—The Class of Nineteen-four. John. Going back to those Shakspere plays again, you remember the scales Shvlock had to weigh out Antonio’s flesh with— Sally. Yes ; what about them ? John. When he was forced to give them up to the state, it was the cause of his downfall. Sally. How do you make that out? John. He lost his balance and could never regain it. John. Speaking of the old times reminds me of home (becoming serious). It reminds me of Mr. Jones, too. I guess I’ll be going. Sally. That's so. Ma will he wanting them stamps and the mail. too. Guess I'll be going. John. Let’s go together, then. Sally. All right. Give me a two-cent stamp. Mr. Ximpkins. (They leave, forgetting the mail, which Ximpkins discovers on the counter—runs to the door). IO Class Boo k, 1904 Simpkins. Sally ! Sally Oatcake!! You've forgot your mail! O. John!-----I'll he denied if I’m going to run after any spring chickens. Xo, sir! I can't spare the time. • My business is too large. (Enter Jones and Perkins, talking.) Jones. Yessir, the hog made quite a find when it rooted up that ’04 sheepskin. All the other hogs were jealous and the billy goat hutted in and wanted to eat it. So we named the hilly goat “Hilly Newton.” Perkins. It’s a well known fact, you know, that a turkey gobbles. Jones. Yes. Perkins. Well, that fact isn’t so well known about the Literary Society but you ought to see them eat fudge. Jones. I know. I’ve seen Westerson eating it! Perkins. You remember the big hill back of the town— Jones. Yes. Perkins. And you remember the clay bank back there? Jones. Yes; what’s the matter with them? Perkins. Well, doesn’t it seem strange to find Clay near the Hill. Jones. Xo: Clay and Hill used to be found together quite often when I went to school. Perkins. I tell you. tho e hogs are proud of their find. It is just like those good old championship foot-ball days to see them root. Jones. Those times were great, weren’t they? Perkins. You are right, they were. Hut what’s become of the senior class of the year we won the championship? Jones. Let’s buy a paper. Maybe we can find out more in there. I heard Harold Winslow, the Seven-Corners newsboy, hollering “all about the hog’s queer find.” ( Buys paper.) Perkins. Hogs are the ones that generally do make the find. That was a great class though—the class that made Minneapolis famous. Old Han McKenna was in that class! He is head of Teamstsers Union Xo. 9 now. Boss Bauer, too. He runs the Eighty-nine-cent Store down on Washington. We have some famous women from that class as well. CI a s s Boo k. 1904 11 W hy, we’re even represented at that big hotel at the lake. After aimlessly wandering around the country for some time (for her health) Blanche Haverstock was sought out for the position of superintendent—of the dish-washers. Say, Jones, did you know that Earnest Crew was up at the insane asylum? Jones. No; how does that come about? He never studied at school that I know of. Perkins. Xo: it wasn’t that. He worked so industriously down in manual training that they gave him the position of instructor in that department at the school for the feeble-minded. Jones. W ell, what’s become of Jim Bowman, then ? I haven’t heard anything about him. Perkins. He used to study his English lit. I le is one of Crew’s pupils. Jones. So St. Peter took them in ! Perkins. And since the real thing has disappeared, Kixmoeller and Stromme have been faking as the Siamese twins. They are all tied up with ropes, you know. Jones. They were bound to be together, weren’t they? Perkins. You remember how dramatically inclined Myrtle Pendergrass and Alice W inter used to be? Jones. Yes. W hat are they doing now ? Perkins. They are starring in the great melodrama “Pair o’ Dice Lost.” Martin Hovde takes the part of Timid Tim, the villain, in the same play. Jones. I hear that Harry Hoover is proprietor of those new bachelor apartments down on Park. They say that many prominent men are staying there. Perkins. Yes, even W illiam W’ingreene, that gentleman of leisure and model of fashion, has taken up his residence there. Jones. That reminds me. Can you figure out how W illis Xevvton made such a large stake with that enormous appetite of his. They call people who arc always reading, book-worms. I guess lie must have been a grub-worm. Perkins. Folks say that suckers bite on grub-worms. Jones. You remember Bennie Zimmerman—his head of wool always reminded me of a sheep. 12 Class Book, 1904 Perkins. You don't say! He is running a baa baa shop now. Jones. That was a busy class. They remind me of bees. Perkins. Oh, that’s so! I was‘going to tell you that two hives of our bees swarmed yesterday. Jones. Did you get the “hives?” Perkins. No. I let the hives bee. Jones. Let’s see what the paper has to say (reads). Society News—I’ll see what the personals say—Hutchinson’s had a scanty supply of coal but let us not worry, a new ton went their way. Perkins. A Newton! Jones (reads). Some people say that the leaves on the trees betoken Spring, but every I Vinter retains some Autumn leaves. Haven’t vou ever heard them Russel? (Door-bell rings. Enter Sarah Punkins and Myrandy Saunders.) Mrs. Saunders. Why, it’s outrageous how much they are charging for postage stamps. Two cents apiece!—and they won’t even give you trading stamps with them. Mrs. Perkins. They’re forever trying to make a fortune off us country folk. Mrs. Saunders. I have a mind not to buy one. It would serve him right. Hut this letter has to go off today—Oh, dear! (they go up to the counter). Perkins. Yes; the weather’s been clearin’ up some lately, but you don’t know when to depend on it. We may get a cold wave on commencement dav. (Door-bell rings. Enter Timothy Paystreak, long reported lost on the trail. Looks around bewildered.) Paystreak. Is this Nimpkin’s cross-corners store? Simpkins. Yes, sir. Is there anything I can do for you? Mrs. Saunders. Wal, land sakes! ef it ain’t Timothy Paystreak who went up to the Klondike! Paystreak. Hello, Myrandy Saunders and Sarah Punkins, and Hiram Jones and Si Perkins. How be ye all? Mrs. Punkins. Well, ef it ain’t Timothy Paystreak himself! How did you get down here? Paystreak. I came down on the sixty-mile limited. It’s the Class Book, 1904 3 first time I’ve hit the trail in kyers. Whew, how we went! Have you ever been in a limited express when it’s going around the curve at sixty miles per? Perkins. Yes; I was once, and I haven’t got over it yet. I don’t mean over the train—I got thru that, though it took me a long time. I was trying to get into the observation car. I think the car 1 was in must have been an .observation car too, from the observations I was forced to make. They weren’t astronomical but I saw a great many stars anyway and I think I saw the moon —right in broad daylight too! I saw it with a see-saw that I got from the train. But I only gave it a passing notice (I was too well trained at the time to stare. Well, when I left my seat (I think it's a good plan to leave what you can’t take with you) the train gave a big lurch and I landed right in the lap of the man opposite. He thought I was a Russian, but I told him I was a Laplander. I guess he believed me, all right. He told me that three other men from the same place were on the train. It reminded me of a race-track —four Laps to the mile. And I was just starting on my second lap. I lit four seats back on the other side of the aisle. This man told me I was not too light. I said I couldn’t help it, the railroad company made me light. He said he didn’t notice it, and then I felt him. Now. what do you think? I went up into the air a human being and lit—a cigar, and that’s no pipe dream. The next man I sat on said he wished I were a little lighter. I think lie must have had on regular gun-boats (like George Johnson’s). You know, they use lighters to unload gun-boats with. I knew I’d won the race, because I was ahead at every lap (I did all of the beating). I had two watches besides my own, so I knew I’d made good time. 1 was my own time-keeper. I didn’t keep those other two men’s time, tho, the pawn-broker kept theirs! Just as I was about to step out of the door, the brakeman entered and I landed on his toes with both feet. I guess I made quite a hit with that brakeman. Anyway he asked me what I took him for. I told him I thought he was the car-pet. He said his name was Matt but I needn’t take him for a door-mat. He M Class Book, 1904 must have been a pretty good brakenian. lie broke me, anyway. I had just thirty cents left when he got thru. Paystrcak. That reminds me of once when I was coming down the trail. It was one of those narrow, winding trails that you never reach the end of. I met a porcupine. Now the porcupine is a despised animal but let me tell you, it has a great many good points about it. And porcupines aren’t any kind of pig. They get their name from stealing bacons and hams from the campers. When they steal the pork, you pine (porc-u-pine). Now. as I said, that trail wasn’t made for a four-in-hand to turn around on. On one side was a cliff and on the other side was another cliff. One went up and the other went down. And there wasn’t room for that porcupine and me to pass—I don’t see why they called it a pass, anyway. He couldn’t pass and I couldn’t pass. Ha! ha! That reminds me of when I was in school. 1 couldn’t pass there, either. Well, that porcupine looked at me and I looked at him. and we looked some more. In fact, the silence was becoming embarrassing. Then I took my pack off from my back and I hunted all through it until 1 found an old shoe. Chorus. What did you do with the old shoe? Paystrcak. 1 just shooed that porcupine away. (Bell rings. Re-enter Sally and John.) Mrs. Saunders. Hello, Sally. Been out for a little walk? i r imp kins. Ha! ha! I thought you'd forget the mail. Sally. Well a—h—I’m glad we've got good weather for plantin’ aren’t you, Mr. Jones? Jones. I don’t believe you remember this gentleman, do you, Sally? You were so young when lie lived here. He used to be our most perfect citizen. Always “bought his butter of a butter store (isn’t that natural?)” and his salt of a regular salt-cellar; did all of his swearing at the bar (I mean in court, of course), and never got married—he was our most perfect citizen. Paystrcak. Pleased, I'm sure. (As he takes off his hat. nuggets drop out. All stare open-mouthed). John. Nuggets! Paystreak. Them’s some Seth Gilkey gave to me. You remember him, don’t you ? He is a missionary up north now. He’s Class Book, 1904 15 educated the Eskimos so that they drink kerosene in place of raw oil. Kerosene has such a “refined” taste, don’t you know? Arthur Anderson is up there with him. He was a Methodist minister out on the coast but when Seth came along, went north with his outfit. 1 met quite a few members of old Xaughty-four.” I suppose you would like to hear of them. Mrs. Pun kins. Yes. Tell about them. Paystrcak. Well, first person I met was Arnold Anderson. He is third assistant cabin boy on the “A1 Ki.” plying between Seattle and Skagway. One afternoon when sitting on deck, someone started a funny- graft a-going. These were the words of introduction: “Hun- garian Rhapsody, by Miss Jeannette Gamble of London and Paris, Columbia Record!” Pearl Gunther, Etta Mvrcs and Emma I laker have a prosperous laundry near Sulphur Gulch. They do all of their work with gold dust! One day, up in Circle City, I came across a book by Miss Leah Fligelman, effectually disproving the Darwinian Theory. Everybody reads it up there. Let me tell you a little incident that happened in connection with it. Just as I’d finished a square meal and was leaving the table of a restaurant up there. I overheard one waiter remark to another: “No, he isn't descended from a monkey, he’s descended from a hog. Miss Mabel Hildebrand, the Albino, is traveling with Ring-ling’s circus. She attracts large crowds by her beautiful hair. When I was leaving the boat on my second trip to the states, I met Ruth Banker embarking for the far east. She is a trained nurse and her pleasant face has given courage to many a wounded soldier. Mrs. Saunders. Do you know what has become of Russel McBride? He went up there to hunt for gold. Paystrcak. Last 1 heard of him he was still hunting for it. Peter Ostrand has made quite a little dust. tho. You remember how muscular he was at school—he’s traveling around now, exhibiting as a strong man. Wal, I ain’t heard much news about you people. What’s become of George Johnson ? i6 Class Book, 1904 Jones. Oh, the advantage of his height naturally won him Mr. Nelson’s old position. He will greet you with pan and duster. Mrs. Saunders. Who’s heard about Nellie Worthington and Louise Campbell? Paystreak. Ha! They are teaching German to the little Indians at Klukwan. They learned the language so perfectly under Miss Klampe. Mrs. Pint kins.. Blanche Barsc is a demure school-ma’am up in northern Minn. Perkins. Did you know that Marion Springer was married? Chorus. No! Perkins. Yes; she married an old bachelor. Paystreak. How is Alice Bruce faring. Sally. From the number of elegant carriages that stop in front of a certain house on which a neat sign Fashionable Dressmaking” hangs, 1 judge that she and Emma Beckman are very prosperous. Nimpkins. Say! A city book agent was in here and sold me this book. He says it is a compendium of lots of information. You might sec if my eighty-nine cents’ worth is in there. Sally (to John). All right; let’s look at it. Mrs. Punkins. Yes; Miss Harter is going to be married to a young man from Red Wing. Sally (reading). The stars shine bright On a moonless night.” That’s by Lydia Bates. It says she is a good authority on stars. (Turns page, reads.) Mr. Barlow’s wind machine. What is that? Perkins. Haven’t you heard of Mr. Barlow’s wind machine? (All sing—tune “Oh, Dunderbeck.”) O, Barlow, Mister Barlow, how could you he so mean? The microbes and bacteria will never more be seen. They’ll be blown to atoms in Barlow’s wind machine. O, Barlow. Mister Barlow, how could you he so mean? Class Book, 1904 '7 Mrs. Punkins. That reminds me of the old school house. Don’t you love the old school things, tho? (All sing. Tune, '‘Down On the Farm.”) (By Brewer Good sell.) O, I love the dear old school house And the dear old school yard, too, And all the little school things— Each one I'll tell to you: There the small paper wads used to fly, fly, fly, And oft they'd glance on the teacher’s eye. And the tablets large marched in lines of blue While the fire escapes from the windows, too, And the rulers dropped upon the floor In South Side High.

I came pretty near forgetting you. I just want to tell you a thing or two before I leave. Lest you forget, I say it yet, uneeda little advice. Before starting in on the deep consideration of my subject, I want to tell you that if you’re in trouble, go to the Prof., he will give you help and if you take a study from Cook, you won’t need any help. Now the subject of my advice is ‘‘bluff.” Eat it for your breakfast, play it on the piano, and when the rental agent throws you out, bring it to school. The days of studying are past. It is a useless diversion properly consigned to the dime-museum. Study and be a freak is the modern verdict. So say our great men and—the teachers can’t tell the cliff! By a judicious use of bluff, you get your name on the honor-roll and have time to play marbles on the side. Shakespeare says, in one of his great dramas—I’ve forgotten which one—it is bluff that makes the man: and Shakespeare is a good friend of mine. So bluff freshmen! Bluff, be bluff and get bluffed. Now don’t go in the back door of B room. It’s the wrong directrix and an ounce of prevention is better than a pound from Miss Kerr’s pointer.

Its membership lias been larger, its attendance greater and its team has gone farther in the state contest than ever before. A better spirit, that is, more enthusiasm, seemed to discover itself from the start. Within a few weeks after the society was reorganized the number of active members reached the fifty mark, and that figure has not been lowered during the year. The attendance has averaged about fifty-five or sixty, never falling below twenty-five, and twice passing a hundred. The new spirit was owing partly to the creation of a committee whose business it was to interview students with the idea of inducing them to become members. The committee did especially good work. Early in the year work was begun on the state question, the preliminaries being held on November 12. There were eleven entries. The finals were held on November 25. Messrs. Anderson, Cioodsell and Young, with Miss Tillie Will as alternate, were chosen as the team. The state question this year was upon the municipal ownership of public utilities. ()ur first debate was with North High. It was our first meeting with that school. Noth sides worked hard but on the night of the contest it was shown that South had worked a little the harder. She took the negative of the question, arguing against municipal ownership, while the team from North town, consisting of Pratt, Hughes and Turner, the affirmative. The contest was held in the South auditorium. The decision was unanimous in favor of the negative. The efficient aid and able guidance of Mr. Westerson told on the opposing team. Now our team began to cast about for new material for. on the same night East High had vanquished Central, and they must meet East to decide the championship of the district. The hoys again worked to win and again they won. The contest was held in East High hall and we chose to debate the negative again. The East team consisted of Wyman, McKercher and Peering, and they proved worthy foes, but the South Siders were too much for them. The decision was rendered two to one in favor of the negative. We were now champions of the fifth district. We 2 6 Class Book. 1904 were paired with Fairmont for the next debate. Mr. Ozias had handled the financial end of the debates, and Zimmerman and others had done good work in selling tickets, so that we had money enough to bring Fairmont to Minneapolis. Fairmont chose the negative and our boys had to reverse and turn their arguments inside out for use on the affirmative. Meanwhile word was received that quite a delegation need be expected to come down with the team and a committee was appointed to arrange a reception to take place after the debate. The day came and brought with it the debaters, Richardson, Tonne and Xorris. This team turned out to he the strongest we had yet encountered but we won out as before. The decision rendered was two to one in favor of the affirmative. Flic reception which followed was enjoyed by every one, both from Fairmont and Minneapolis. And now South High was in the semi-finals. Her opponent was to be St. Paul, who had beaten her once before. The debate was to be held in South High auditorium and St. Paul chose the negative. The debate had to be postponed a week on account of the illness of one of the St. Paul men. The extra week proved too much for our team, and the St. Paul trio, consisting of Firestone, Hor-witz and Gauger. carried off the honors. The decision was unanimous for the negative. An oratorical and declamatory contest was held early in May. At the preliminaries three orators out of four and three declaimed out of six were selected. The orators taking part in the finals were Anderson, Young and McKeen, and the declaimers were Bertha Sanford, Sol Fligelman and Beatrice Gjertsen. At the finals Young and Anderson took first and second oratorical prizes, and Miss Gjertsen and Miss Sanford took the declamatory prizes. With the receipts a banquet was to be held near the close of the year. The receipts of the debates went to new literature for the society, and a fund of over a hundred dollars will be expended in this way. This year of 03-04 has, taken altogether, been most successful. and it is our hearty wish that it may lx? eclipsed next year. — Willis Newton.

She had been sick but a few weeks, and this, together with the fact that her illness was not believed to be serious, made the news of her death a severe shock to all her friends. She was a member of the senior class, the Literary Society, and the Peta Kappa Phi. and in all these organizations she took a prominent part. An excellent student, a kind friend, and an earnest worker, she was admired and respected by her schoolmates and teachers. Absent tho she be. she is still present in the memories of those who knew her best. Class Book, 1904 29 Jfimt Still The South High School has been represented upon the football field every year since the school was built and the ups and downs of the fortunes of the team are much the same as those of any other institution. When the class of 04 entered in ’00 the school was represented by anything hut a championship team. As a matter of fact they ended pretty close to the bottom of the list. In the teams of ’01 there was plenty of good material, blit it was raw and could not be rounded into form in time to make much of a showing upon the gridiron. The following year. 02 saw a peculiar situation. In the early fall the four local high schools were considered to be about equal with the possible exception of Central, which was rated slightly above the others. South and East High teams were the first to meet and the Crimson was vanquished bv a score of 22 to o. Xext came the North-South game and the Orange and Black by brilliant playing upon a muddy field, won by a score of 5 to o. If South High could have beaten Central they would have 30 Class Book, 1904 had a clear title to the championship, but in a game replete with heart breaking plays and sensational runs and tackles the Red and Blue took the game by a score of 16 to 14. Interest now became centered in the Central-North contest, which was played a week later upon Xorthrup field. The boys from the northern part of the city won bv a single touchdown and failed to kick goal. The score was 5 to o. Here were three teams with practically equal claims for the championship. The situation was discussed pro and con, but no post-season games could be arranged, so that the matter rested with South High holding a disputed title to the championship. Last fall. South High with Captain George Johnson, a member of the class of 04. at its head, triumphantly carried off the undisputed championship of the Twin Cities and of the Northwest. For South High to finish the season, not to mention the winning of the championship, speaks well of the pluck and perseverance of Coach Dobie and his men, for probably no coach or team of any institution had to contend with as many exasperating difficulties. The rules covering the eligibility of the players, which had been laxly enforced previously, were now enforced to the letter. Thru the ruling of the Board. South High lost one of the strongest and fastest back fields in the Northwest. Central disbanded its team and their coach left them. North High lost two players, while the Last High team was left intact by the ruling of the Board. Coach Dobie bent all his energies in rounding the team into shape to meet the St. Laid Central High school and breaking in a whole new backfield for the game. W hile the St. Paul team was not considered to be especially strong, many thought that South High would have its hands full to beat them. It was South High from the kickoff until the whistle blew at the close of the second half, with the score 28 and o. The Red and Black were not in the running at all and the disappointed followers of the school started a row. No material damage was done and the South High team and the few loyal rooters who accompanied Class Book, 1904 3i it lost only their dignity and a few ribbons. It was in this game that the mighty Berg first showed up as a line plunger. Pile team now rested until the East High game, one which the most sanguine rooter hoped against hope that the score would not be large and prayed that a lucky chance might decide the game in our favor, for the Crimson had beaten the Centrals bv a score of 15 to 5 and was counted the strongest team in the city. The game was played on Saturday morning, November 7, at the North High Athletic field, before a large crowd of students from both schools. The story of the game was well told in the papers the following day and the following clipping from the Times tells the story as well as any: Followers of high school football were much surprised yesterday when East High went down to defeat before the South High by a score of 16 to 6. South High had lx en considered out of the race, and there were many who figured that East High would be an easy winner. Both teams fought fiercely, and tho in the first half the East Side boys were worsted, they gave no signs of giving up. South High made her gains by line plunges, using her heavy line men to tear up the Crimson defense. Of these, Johnson, Berg and Ostrand were the most consistent ground-gainers. Seldom did they fail to make their distance. Fumbles lost the hall for South High twice when inside East High’s 25-yard line, and Eryckman punted the ball out of dangerous territory. After about ten minutes of play Berg, South High’s giant guard, broke thru the Crimson line, shook off the backs who attempted to tackle him, and ran 40 yards for a touchdown. Ostrand failed to punt out, so that no goal was tried for. The two teams went back and forth over the field for several minutes, when Ostrand broke thru tackle for 25 yards and later Berg carried the ball for 45 yards for the second touchdown. Ostrand kicked out, and Chestnut missed an easy goal. Coach Cameron’s men were now fighting like tigers and contesting every inch of the way, hut the Orange and I .lack were not to be stopped, and were surely approaching the goal, when time was called for the first half. 32 Class Book, 1904 SECOND HALF. East High came on in the second half and nearly rushed the South Siders off their feet, but South High secured the hall and rushed to East High’s 30-yard line, where it was lost on downs. East High failed to make 5 yards, and attempted to punt, but Captain Johnson blocked the punt and fell on the ball. A series of line plunges, with 5 yards for an off-side play, and Berg was sent over for the third touchdown. Chestnut kicked goal. rile crimson now took the offensive, and plunged thru South High’s line for substantial gains; these, with a 30-yard run by Ludwig and an off-side play by South High, brought them within striking distance of South High’s goal, and after much piling up around the goal posts, Ervekman was forced over for touchdown two minutes before time was called. Ervekman kicked goal. I'he Crimson again took the offensive, and were rushing the ball towards the Orange and I Hack goal when time was called. As a result of the game, several new stars are in the field. Berg, for the South Siders, was the star of the game, making the three touchdowns for South High, and he seldom failed to make the distance required of him. However, he is much better on the offense than the defense. The punts and the handling of punts by Ervekman and the runs of Ludwig, together with the line bucking of Captain W yman, were features of the game. Captain Johnson of the South High showed up well, bv his great size and strength breaking through the line, stopping plays and blocking punts almost at will. McGregor, the Orange and Black’s little quarter, also showed up well, especially by his tackling, hut he was rather poor at handling punts, and fumbled several times. THE LINE-UP. East High.

We, the class of 04, had looked to it for four years and never did we look for it with more confidence; yet all the while fearing, well fearing, that something unexpected might happen. The newspapers which were not blinded bv school partisanship had pointed out the fact that South High had repeatedly fumbled in the early games and that fumbling is a serious defect in any team. Many a game has been won and lost thru a fumble at a critical time. Won by a light and fast back securing the ball and speeding the length of the field for a touch-down when the team would be unable to gain a yard thru the line. Lost by a heavy team fumbling when approaching its lighter opponent’s goal and giving the hall to them after probably fifty yards of hard line plunging. South High was heavy and Central was light. But Central, plucky Central, for the first time in her history “got cold feet” and forfeited the game to South High. The cancelling of this game was one of the most disappointing incidents of the football year. After waiting for four years to see the Orange and Black down the haughty Red and Blue gridiron heroes, the latter on account of an unsuccessful season, disbanded their team and retired from the race. It was a bitter disappointment; but when one considers that Central’s coach deserted them and that some of their fastest men were ruled out. we cannot blame them so much after all. On the day that South High was to play Central. East and North Highs met on Xorthrup field and the Crimson went clown to defeat by the score of 6 to o. The result of this game left only North and South Highs in the race with no possible chance for a repetition of the situation of the previous season. As the day of the great game approached interest became gen- 34 Class Book, 1904 oral and many wagers were laid as to the outcome, the majority favoring North High with the odds of 5 to 4. November 20, the day of the game, was almost ideal for perfect football; neither too cold for the spectator nor too hot for the players. Long before the game started the North High Athletic field was crowded with the noisy rooters of both schools. The North High students with their ribbons of blue and white near the gate while the South High followers thronged to the lower end of the field where they filled the air with their orange and black streamers and kept up a constant din with tin horns and megaphones. As the teams of both schools trotted onto the field they were received with a deafening roar. After a few preliminary arrangements. the captains tossed a coin for the choice of goal. Captain Johnson won and took the north goal and North High got ready for the kick-off. Both teams lined up and, as the referee’s whistle sounded. Marks trotted forward and sent the ball far down in the Orange and Black territory, and the game was on in earnest. South High could not make much thru the White and Blue line and was forced to punt. The North Siders. by a series of line plunges and end runs carried the ball to South High’s 8 yard line, it looked like a touch-down but the Orange and Black encouraged bv the rooting of the spectator's advice “never give up,” braced and held coach Bernhagen’s men for downs on the five yard line. It was South High’s ball on their own five yard line and the interest was great as Berg dropped back for a punt, the ball sailed to mid field and North High was able to return it but a few yards, to the delight of our frightened rooters. It was the most dangerous point of the game and the ()range and Black sympathizers had good cause to enthuse at the narrow escape. The ball changed hands frequently with North High on the aggressive the greater part of the time, but South High always took a brace at critical times and gained possession of the ball. Several times the boys started on a march for the Blue and White goal, but it was never advanced very far inside the 25 yard line for they fumbled frequently in scrimmages and lost the ball after carry- Class Book, 1904 35 in - it for lone: distances through the line. Xeither side had sepred at the end of the first half. When the twenty-two men trotted onto the gridiron for the second half. North High looked the freshest and with but few substitutes to fall back on South High’s prospects were any thing but bright. The rooters, however, were far from discouraged and declared that if the Orange and Black men held out that North High would never score. The ball traveled back and forth over the field, when South High gained jjossession of it far down in the enemy’s territory, only to lose it a few moments later on a fumble. North High took the aggressive and using their giant full-back Marks as a battering ram tore open the South High line for yard after yard. But the pace was a killing one and they could not keep it up. Bunts were now exchanged several times, with Berg having the better of it and gaining territory at each exchange. One of Berg’s punts put the ball inside the Blue and White 10 yard line where it was fumbled and South High fell on the ball. It was South High’s chance and the boys rose to the occasion. Berg was given the ball and made 3 yards thru the left side of the line, on the next plunge he carried it 5 more. Two yards to go and three downs for the try. Was there ever such an intense moment? Championship honors within our reach, but a fumble would spoil it all. 'Hie giant back again bit the line with the force of a pile driver and the pig skin was less than a yard from the line. You could not even hear the breathing of the crovyd as the next signal was called and the mighty Berg again retired behind the line. The North High team was now fighting like demons and every‘man was a host in himself. H neon raged by their rooters they sprang into the scrimmage like tigers and held, the ball was now less than an inch from being over. It was South High’s last chance and again the mighty Berg was called behind the line. ()nce again he was hurled against that team of mad men and as he hit the line he was straightened out. a final shove and the ball was over the coveted goal, winning the game and the championship of the Northwest for South High. The crowd yelled themselves hoarse and danced around like wild men. During the excitement Berg Class Book. 1904 37 dropped back to kick goal but failed and the score was South High 5. North High, o. From this time on South High was stronger than ever. Time and again the blue and white attempted to bit the iine but Solem and Chestnut at ends, Ostrand and Johnson at tackles, Bowman at center and Berg and Larson at guards assisted by McGregor, the plucky and heady little qmrkr. and Rule, Erickson and Haverstock behind the line, hurled them back for losses. The South High players had taken new heart after the touch-down and played faster than ever. Dohic's men were smashing the interference before it was started, and it was never able to hold for the plays that Bcrnhagen had taught his proteges. The game ended with the ball in South High’s possession and the team steadily marching toward the blue and white goal line. Captain Johnson and Ostrand at the tackles were towers of strength at critical times. Larson and Berg had no equals at guards. Bowman played a star game at center and but few gains were made around either Chestnut or Solem at ends. Much credit for the victory is due to little Don McGregor who furnished the brains of the South High team. Even if Don is light, he should make good in faster company, if it can possibly be found, than that furnished by South High.

George Johnson, a 04 man together with ()strand and Bowman, also members of our class, and to all members of the team, presented each member with a gold football fob upon which was engraved “Champions '03.” The class of 04 has many things to be proud of but they should not let anything rank above the remembrance of the plucky and successful career of the football team of 03. —Daniel McKenna.

In 1900, South High won the championship of the Northwest. Such men as Zaluskv, Garvey, Soiem, and Kersten have seldom been found together on a high school team. Since then tho South High has not won the championship, she has always given the winners a hard run for it. This year, altho handicapped bv many difficulties, including the new rules and lack of funds, the team has improved wonderfully from the time of their first practice. By the able assistance of Captain McGregor and Col. Lee, funds were provided with which the team was well equipped. The men themselves showed a great willingness and determination to work for the success of the team. Consequently our prospects for winning the championship have been greatly improved. On April 22 our team met the team from Last High School at Nicollet Park. The game was very interesting thruout and ended with the score of 8 to 6 in favor of South High School, altho victory was confidently expected by many, the strength of the team was an uncertainty, it being our first game, and the victory accordingly raised our hopes. Yc played St. Paul Central High School April 27 at Nicollet Park. St. Paul Central held the University down to a low score and it was generally conceded that they would win. During the first part of the game. St. Paul held the Orange and Black down without a score, but in the sixth inning the South High players found their batting eyes and when the side was retired, seven men had crossed the plate. Hjelm, the South High pitcher, was not up to his usual form in the first few innings but finally steadied down and had our opponents at his mercy during the remainder of the game. The team as a whole played a good game. Johnson at first pulled in many wild throws. Folsom at second played a star game. Dahlgren and McGregor showed up well. McGregor at shortstop and Dahlgren at third are both fast men and give promise of developing into championship players. 40 Class Book, 1904 A hard schedule is yet to be played and it is hoped that South High School will he as successful in these games as in the preceding ones.

B. season at South High this year, while not a success, was certainly not a failure either financially or otherwise. Lack of material was partially responsible for this as it was necessary to pick the team from a limited amount of green material. All things considered, the team did remarkably well. Credit is due to Capt. Ostrand, upon whom the task of developing a team devolved. Only six men turned out for practice but they were unusually faithful in their attendance. A league was formed by the V. M. C. A.. Last High. Central, South High and a former fraternity of this school. W hile the organization was not the financial success that it might have been, yet it aroused some interest in basket hall and it is generally predicted that if a similar organization is formed next year, it will meet with great success. The South High team received no support from outside sources, hut in spite of this fact managed to pay off all obligations and closed the season with a clean slate. The men composing the team were Peter Ostrand, captain, Norman C olburn, Arthur Larson, Leo Harris, Geo. Capron and Geo. Ornes, sub. Among the most important games of the season was the Central game which we lost by a scorce of 19 to 6. There was no sting in this defeat as we lost to gentlemen who thoroly understood the game. We won the game with St. Thomas by the narrow margin of one point, the score being 10 to 9. In the game with Co. B, at Anoka, the score was tied at the end of the second half which was prolonged ten minutes, the deciding basket being thrown bv South High. The scores were as follows: South High, 11; Co. B, Anoka, 9. South High, 16; East High, 15. South High, 6; Central, 19. South High, 14; Anoka H. S., 18. South High, 12, Hudson. 19. South High, 16; St. Paul Central, 19. —R. . Stark, Manager. 4 Class Book, 1904 (Bids’ Saskrt Sail Ciirls Basket Ball lias played an important part in athletics during the year. The girls were fortunate in securing as their coach Irving Robitshck, whose name is well-known in athletic circles. Altho many difficulties were encountered. Mr. Robitshck worked faithfully for the team, and made as good a coach as could have been found. After a month’s delay in finding a suitable hall, the girls began to practice at the Y. W. C. A. Practice was regular and well attended. The schedule included games with Anoka, the Lyndale Girls, St. Paul Central, the “U, Hudson and Minneapolis Central. Practice games were played with the Holcomb Hall Girls, but no regular game was procured as the 1 lolcomb girls were not an organized team. Victory over Anoka was an easy matter. The Lyndale girls were beaten after a game which was somewhat rough owing to conflicting rules. Early in the season South High played St. Paul Central and was beaten. The St. Paul Central girls displayed team work that is seldom seen so early in the season. The Hudson trip resulted in a victory for South High. Tile result of the “U game is left unmentioned. With the Minneapolis Central game, visions of a tie for championship vanished. The girls took their defeat philosophically. Some time later, the South High girls played Stanley Hall in a |K)st-season game. After the South High girls had played the best game of the year they were defeated by one point. South High, confident of another basket, was working in her opponent’s territory when time was called. It is thought that, owing to some mistake, it was called before the half had expired and given the girls a chance to turn defeat into victory. Tho the season ended with a defeat, there are bright prospects for a team next year, as most of the girls are Juniors. If the Girls’ Athletic Association supports the team of 1905 as well as it has that of 1904, the Basket Ball Girls should l e able to carry off the championship without great difficulty. —Alice Winter, Manager. 43 Class Book, 1904 Grub's Ifisit tu thr SHiitp iSiiuisr One day, ’bout a week before Thanksgiving Elizar Ann an’ I received an invite from Mr. Roosevelt to come and spend Thanks-givin’ with him. It read somethin’ like this: “Dear Reub: My wife and I would very much like to have you bring your wife and pass Thanksgivin’ Day with us. I know that it won’t put Mrs. R. out at all for she has just gotten a girl. If you will let me know when you are coming, I will have some one meet you at the train. Ever yours very truly, Teddy Roosevelt.’’ Of course we wuz pretty much excited fer we had never seen either of them, altho we knew his second cousin by marriage. Anyhow, we decided to go. Wal, three days before Thanksgiving’ we got everythin’ packed up an’ went down to the depot to take the train. He fore we left 1 sent the followin’ telegram : “Dear Ted: Will be to vour town tomorrow night. “Reub.” When we got to Washington, there wuz a man waitin’ for us, sure enough. He had on a green suit, blue hat an’ purple shoes, them bein' the President’s favorite colors. He took 11s to the carriage and. puttin’ in our satchels, drove us to the house. When we got there, we thought we’d kind of surprise ’em. so we went in without ringin’ an’ walked right in upon ’em at the supper table. Ef they wuzn’t astonished I don’t know who wuz. Mrs. Roosevelt kissed us both right there, but he only shook hands with us, good an’ hard. They said to set down right off an’ never mind washin’; so we did. Come to find out. our train wuz late, so they had decided to set down without 11s. The supper wuz fairly good exceptin’ that the meat wuzn’t cooked enough, an’ the bread tasted like baker’s bread; but 1 supjxxse that the girl hadn’t got used to her new place yet. After supper we wuz showed to our rooms. Mine, which wuz called the Xorth West room, wuz under Mr. Roosevelt’s. It wuz heated by a drum on the pipe from the kitchen stove. In the 44 Class Book, 1904 ceilin’ wuz a register so that some of the heat would go up into Teddv’s room. Mv room wuz comfortably furnished, vet not 4a1)orately. In one corner wuz an iron bedstead, an’ next to it wuz the wash stand with its accessories. ()pposite, wuz the bureau with a brush an’ comb, an’ in front of the window wuz an easy chair. Next mornin I wuz up bright an’ early, but Ted wuz up afore me. I found him down cellar cleanin’ out the furnace, for, he said, it didn’t work good an’ he wanted to see if he couldn’t fix it. Yal, pretty soon the bell rung an’ we went up to breakfast. We had oatmeal, toast an’ coffee, which wuz very good. After the meal wuz thru with, we were showed thru the house. It wuz very nicely arranged except that the kitchen wuz in the basement. When this wuz done. I asked Mrs. R. to play 11s a jig on the piano, which she did very well considerin’ that she wuzn’t in practice. Then her husband favored 11s with a grand mixture of “Yankee Doodle. “The Star Spangled Banner,” and “I Long to he a Famous Man.” This wife an’ I applauded vigorously. Mr. Roosevelt then handed me a 5 cent cigar, an’ we went out to look around. We walked by all the fine houses, an’ by the time we got back it wuz time for dinner, so we set down to the table. The meal consisted of chicken, warmed-over potato, jelly an’ cold pie. When every one wuz full, we left the table. We then informed the President an’ his wife that we guessed we had better start home seein’ as next day wuz Thanksgivin’. Of course they urged us to stay over, hut Eliza Ann an' 1 held out. So it came to pass that we left that afternoon for home Altho we had a very nice time. Eliza said to me after we got back to the farm, sez she. “There aint no place like home, is there Rcub?” An’ I agreed. — Brewer Good sell. 45 Class Book, 1 04 3ln 1994 Behold! 1 slept and dreamed a dream, (As poets often do) And what my wondrous vision was I now will tell to you. 1 fancied time had hurried on Some fifty years or more— In fact, to he precise, the year Was nineteen ninety-four.

I then sought out old South Side High, But things were changed there, too. They didn’t hand out minuses I ike now-a-days they do. Once in the school, all worry ceased And care was known no more— The student couldn’t help but pass In nineteen ninety-four. But at one change that had been made I really had to laugh. They'd done away with “profs’’ and now They used a phonograph. The school board had decided that 'Fhe Seniors were a bore, So they had been abolished, too. I11 nineteen ninety-four.
