OF 07 5 It’s a spot that was meant for a fairy land Or a gathering place for kings; It’s the storehouse for knowledge of all the earth Where nature her treasure brings, Tis the home of Study, of Sports, of Fun, And of Lasses and Lads very dear; A place in this land of the Golden West That the gods seem ever near. Of the fairest, the fair are here to he found And here too of the wisest, the wise. As well known are the glories of S. H. S. As the tint of the cloudless skies. And the ravs of the sun in the early morn That the land with their light enfold, Kiss the schoolhouse from which all wisdom springs And these numerous wonders hold. Here then, the Flysian field is found. And the haven of peace, and the best, A place where worthiness forever reigns, A spot that is truly blest. II. C. S. « so u t ii ii i ; m sc ii oo r. JUNE SEN I OHS ’07 In South Minneapolis, that city so great, There’s great deal of talking and doing of late; The South High Seniors are preparing to leave, Yes, leaving the Juniors behind to grieve. Of course, ’OS, you’ll cry when we go. Though you’ll try to conceal it, that we know, No use, () Juniors, to hide those tears. Although our parting will dispel vour fears. Don't fear, () Juniors, we ll leave you the way. Though sorry we must, it is sad to say; For once you o’ercome the Seniors so bright, For once, our rivals, you win in the fight. Yes, we must leave the old South High, To our teachers and schoolmates must say goodbye; We must soon face the future, face it alone, No one to encourage us with sweet, warning tone. We can’t forget where on a calm sea, We entered as Freshmen, ‘‘quite great to be.” Then as Sophomores, suffer more,” wc said, When the sun-rise grew darker, and fainter the reel. Later came lightning, thunder, and rain. And as poor Juniors, we wished land again: But this we poor Juniors were not suffered to do— We had started the voyage, we must finish it through. O’er high sea and low we've been continually blown. In the huge ship of time we’ve been rocked and been thrown, Until now we see land, a once-longed for sight. And the sea grows calmer, and forth comes a light. How close we re approaching the last farewell day. When each June '07 must go on his way: Knowing not whither fate may him call, Although knowing something is alloted to all. Wc can’t forget our teachers who sometimes seemed cross When trying to show us as students “our gains and our loss,” You all know the habit, our duties to shirk, And then hear the story, knowledge is attained bv work.” What then seemed cross now seems kind, Wc have a brighter intellect and broader mind ; And we thank them heartily for their reproofs and frowns, A wreath of knowledge our head now crowns. Farewell to the South High Principal and Teachers, June ’0? has orators and preachers. Who in speeches and sermons, will some day say. Hurrah for old South High who showed us the way. O. E. S. THE CLASS ANNUAL OF '07 T A TOAST TO -------orH SEMOR GIRLS--------------------- You may cheer for your school-famed beauties, And the gay-eyed Junior coquette; Your carbon Lizzies and Jessies With home-made lashes of jet. For the sprightly and gay college widow, ()r the red-rosy Freshies you've seen; But we’re for the girls in the meadow Who’ll cheer for the Gold and the Green. There’s Signe who throws all the baskets, And Clara who wants things just so. There’s Buckley who cuts all the capers, And Rheberg, who moves, oh so slow. There’s nifty blonds and sweet brunettes, There's girls of every mold, So here’s to the ’0? seniorettes, The girls of the Green and Gold. TOAST TO ------------ THE BOYS OF ’07. --------------------- Here’s to the boys of the ’07 class, Whose honor in school none can ever surpass. Whose glory in many a foot-ball game Showered on South High athletic fame. Whose merits in base and basket-ball, too, Never concluded with a true “Waterloo.” In Latin they ever did honest work; And riding a pony, you know they did shirk. In Manual Training they carved and polished, And all pranks in Cook’s class they quickly abolished. With Westerson, too, they loved to joke, And answered him promptly whenever he spoke. They treated us girls like gifts from heaven, That's what they did—“the Boys of ’07 ’ With them we’ve traversed “per vias rectas,” And who do you think could better direct us? South High, ’tis said, is very proud. And now with joy exclaims aloud— “ ’07 Boys” are the best ever seen, Hurrah for 07! The Gold and the Green!

The season opened with a large number of girls out to practice, and after much training the first team was made up as follows : Nellie Loberg........R. F. Nona Quane...........L. F. Signe Larsen............C. Ruth Erickson........R. G. Ethel Ring...........L. G. The first game was with the quintet at the Agricultural School, the score being 8 to 7. They were afterwards defeated by the University five with a score of 21 to 1. On January 19 the girls defeated the Hudson team by a score of 39 to 2 and another victory was gained when they played Stanley Hall, the score being 14 to 10. South girls completely overwhelmed the St. Paul Central team in two games. The score of the first was 29 to 9 and that of the second 50 to 6. They next defeated the alumni by a score of 27 to 2. The most important game of the season was played on March 2 2, when they met the girls from Central High. The teams were evenly matched, and after a hard fought game our girls came off victorious with a score of 15 to 13. This game decided the championship. On the team were two players, members of the “07 class. They are Ruth Erickson and Signe I.arson. Nellie Loberg is also closely associated with the class, being a “IV Senior. There is good material left for a team next year, and we hope that Miss Ring, who was chosen captain for next season, will lead her girls on to attain the same standard as the team of “07. —Caroline O. Brown. in SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL LITERARY AND DERATING SOCIETY HE South High Debating and Literary Society continues to enjoy the success and prosperity of previous years. The meetings during the year now drawing to a close have been largely attended, the have been interesting and entertaining and the mem-rule, have been willing and anxious to do their share to make the society a success. Determined to reach the high standard of excellence set by previous years, we organized early, our first meeting being held shortly after opening of school. Richard Groettum was elected president; Ralph Parker, vice-president; Ruth Rheburg, secretary; Clarence Layman, sergeant of arms, and Prof. Ozias, treasurer. Work on the state question: Resolved, That the policy of substantially enlarging the American navy is preferable to that of maintaining it at its present strength and efficiency, was begun immediately. The society found the question interesting, and to get familiar with its many phases and to get as deep as possible into the many arguments, the question was discussed at every meeting previous to the preliminary contest. In this contest, held during the last week in November, the judges chose Ethel Hughes, Carl Hjort, Edwin McKeen, Chas. Eisler, Richard Groettum and Ralph Parker to compete for places on the team. After two weeks’ hard work and faithful study, these six met, three upholding the affirmative and three the negative, in this way giving the judges an opportunity to consider team work. The contest aroused considerable enthusiasm and was attended by many of the students. So close was the competition that until the very end was the result beyond conjecture. After a lengthy discussion the judges chose Ethel Hughes, Ralph Parker and Richard Groettum as the three who could best represent the school in debate. Chas. Eisler was selected as the alternate. The team, under the faithful guidance of Mr. Westerson, began work immediately, studying hard in preparation for the first debate. Our first opponent was Central. As this high school had beaten us the year before, we had a defeat to wipe out, and with revenge in our hearts, we bent our every energy in preparing to meet them. The debate was held June fourth. Central had a good team and a hard struggle ensued, but South was given the decision. North, on the same evening, had defeated the team of East High school and was consequently matched with us to debate for the championship of this district. Both teams had won on the negative and as this second debate was to be held only two weeks from the first, one of the school would be placed at a great disadvantage. North won the choice of sides, and with the affirmative to defend we were compelled to reverse our arguments. But the victory over Central had encouraged THE CLASS ANNl’AL OF ’07 11 us and vve looked forward to the coming debate confident of winning. We were, however, doomed to disappointment, North being given the decision. The contest was held in the East High auditorium and as usual, the students gave us splendid support. In the meantime the society continued to flourish. The second term opened with Richard Groettum, president; Harrv Collins, vice-president; Borghild Dahl, secretary, and Irene Buckley, sergeant of arms; and this term has been fully as successful as the first. The meetings have been well attended, the membership roll has rapidly increased, and the programs have been more varied. Among the interesting events of this term, the spelldown and the mock-trial deserve mention. The latter, especially, proved a drawing card and the hall was completely tilled. The year, as usual, closes with a declamatory and oratorical contest, followed several weeks later by the crowning event of the year, the banquet. This has been a successful year for the Literary Society. Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. esterson. who has made interesting the work which otherwise might frequently have been dull and burdensome. The majority of members have been underclassmen, and so great has been the interest among the Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen members, that we have every reason to anticipate for the society, in the near future, a glorious career. The class wishes to thank Mr. Thomas Foley, a former member of the class, for his work in designing the cover of this annual and wishes Mr. Foley every success in his chosen profession. I- SOUTH HIGH S C I! O O L SIXG of the deeds of that class, which first as a hand, bashful and green but hopeful and wise in their own conceit, entered lowly South High in the year 1003, and will have graduated from the foremost High School in this city, county, state, country and universe, a finished collection � f philosophers, diplomats and scholars in the year 1007. ()nc standing on a high watch-tower and looking down upon a certain country, might see main little brooks trickling over the land. The illustriousness of the people who inhabit this country is shown by the names of the brooks; they are taken from the list of great and noble men. such as Irving. Washington, Adams, Greely and Garfield. Now, all of these streams, tho they wind in hidden byways in diverse directions, meet in one great sea, South Hve. w ( )nce upon a time, long, long ago. groups of fish came swimming down these several streams, and met in the larger body of water. There they formed a great school, the like of which has never been known before. Xow these fish were of various temperaments. Some of the little sun fish were frolicking and sporting, as if they had never known a care in the wide, wide world. There were also, sad to say, some bullheads, who answered all questions with only a vacant stare; however, there were some grave pickerel to redeem them. Scattered here and there were oysters, clams, lobsters and various other species, but the whole assembly greatly resembled suckers. Xow. when they had entered this great sea, they found a number of old experienced pedagogues who cast scrutinizing glances at them over their green spectacles. When they had duly scanned them, some smiled, some looked grave and shook their heads doubtfully, while others with their frowns made the scales of all stand on end. Some were sent to Professor Porpoise, and there were forced to exercise their fins, not accustomed to such usage, in making various articles of furniture. At times they were sent to Madam Salmon, where, with laborious efforts they perused the tales of the old Grecian hero, Ulysses. Many times were they disheartened and wiped the sweat from off their weary gills; but the faithful preceptress exhorted those who could not he examples, to be warnings. When things were calm again, they hurried along, drinking in the waters of knowledge. Although they cast shy glances at their mates, they had little to do with one another; the grave ones busied themselves with their studies, and received their tutor’s approval; the gay ones, in spite of all warnings, played on. There came a time when even the gayest grew serious, for there is. in this sea. a very dangerous region, near the rocks of Scylla and the jaws of Charybdis. Upon one of these rocks sat a wonderful fish of terrible aspect; in fact, this fish is so strange THE CLASS ANNUAL OF ’07 13 that no name has ever been found for her. While under her jurisdiction all were forced to toil and sweat, and their fins, used to harder labor, were now employed in fanning their heated countenances. In spite of all precautions, as often as they attempted to pass these rocks, she, with her threats and frowns would drive them back. Finally, as a protection from this their common foe, they found it necessary to band themselves together under one leader. So they chose for their captain a gentle crappy. For about half the way, all went well, but then, when the enemy’s threats grew louder, they chose a bolder leader, a mighty athlete. During this time they were so undisturbed by the foe that they even found time for social enjoyment. A kindly feeling, dwelling within their bosom, toward another school swimming on before, urged an attempt to entertain them at a pompous ball. In preparation for these festivities, the maiden fish showed their ability to rise to the occasion by raising the lion’s share of the expenses, with specimens of their house-wifery. After this oc-cured several perils and numerous narrow escapes, but with the loss of a very few members, they passed the dangerous rocks. Then came a season of happiness, but not of rest, a time when each different inhabitant of the deep of knowledge, finally realized that he was well skilled in dodging bait and the epithet, ‘‘sucker.’’ and could very fluently repeat in the original dialect: “ hail that Aprille with his showers swoote, The droghte of Marche,’’ etc. The sharks were found to be well versed in the “Exploits of the Man,’’ and were often heard calling upon some mysterious being in the terms, “(), pins Aeneas.” The duty of administering laughing-gas for the blues and some other dope for a few cases of chronic “stayontis,” were turned over to several of the pedagogues, namely to one dealing in drugs and sundries to another weighing out chestnuts and special doses of a lighter gas. and still to another who spent her time hunting up ancient manuscripts of old Latin and ( Ireek heroes, or delving into their dusty depths and then dealing them out to poor overworked fishes, to be committed word for word or to be written out from memory in some dead hut unburied language. During this stage of existence, it was quite the fashion to say (iuten Morgen, schones wetter heute, nicht walir, have you got your Dutch?” Oh, how tired they were of helping one dear pedagogue pick up the shells from the ocean floor, or of sweeping the foam from off its surface; hut nevertheless, a welcome relief was furnished them by the entertainment of one Debating Society or the victorious games of a particular Basket Ball team. hat a period of joy it was, what a season of happiness! Then came one terrible day. The morning dawned fresh and clear without a sign of impending ill; but suddenly as they were in the midst of pleasures, they were disturbed by a scraping and scratching. Without warning they were huddled together and mysteriously drawn upward. After scrambling and struggling they found to their dismay that they were in a net. Many frantic attempts to break through the meshes did they make; but only the slippery eels and smaller fish succeeded in escaping. No help came, and they were drawn slowly but surely upward, nearer and nearer the surface until at last they were thrown upon terra firma, far away from the waters of dear old South I lye. 1 S o U T II HIGH S C II O O I T II K ( L A S S A X NUAL OF f 0 7 15 EDITORIAL AXXl’AL is to serve as a synopsis of the events id history of the Senior C lass of 07. a class con-ining the largest, finest and best scholars ever aduated from South High School.

He was spending a delightful vacation in one of the far western states, when the unexpected news of his drowning came. To all who knew and loved him it seemed almost uncredible that one who was so vital a part of the lives of those around him, has vanished forever from our sight. He was a member of the Class of ’07, an honest and kind friend, a patient and conscientious worker, ever popular among his classmates. (LASS WILL Iii I In NIIino of Caesar. Cicero, o|M rnicus and C‘ook, Anion. E, THE Class of June, 1907, of the South High School of Minneapolis, in the County of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, being of sound mind and memory, and considering the uncertainty of this frail and transitory life, do therefore make, ordain, publish and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament: First. We do direct that our funeral services shall he conducted by our friends well-wishers, the faculty, together with our executor, hereinafter named, only enjoining that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp our situation in the school scale shall have merited. Second. After the payment of our funeral expenses and just debts, we give, devise and bequeath unto ‘08 all the property, real and personal, and effects of every name and nature, which we now have, may die possessed of, or may be entitled to. as herein described : Item : We do hereby dispose to ’08 of all the trophies, medals, and other paraphernalia and insignia won and acquired by the Boys Basket Ball Club of ’07, said honors to be divided equally and justly among the members of the team of ’08. Item: We do give and bequeath one hundred (100) shares in the Class Banner Pole, owned anti operated in conjunction with the Northwestern Telephone Company, directly in front of the Twenty-fourth street entrance, said shares to be divided equally and without discrimination among the qualified members of said class of ’08, to be held and possessed only while ’08 may defend these from ‘09. Item. We do also give unto Miss W atts, one automatic machine invented and designed for the purpose of picking bits of paper from the Hoor, especially during vacant periods, said instrument i eing obtained and patented by Prof. Lawrenzoo Lokin vnJer Patent No. 120,40 Third. We leave, besides the c, not of necessity, but of our own free will, the subjoined list of items: Item : We do hand down to ‘08 our Senior dignity. No doubt this is a severe strain upon gay Juniors, but we earnestly hope and ardently pray that they will rise to the occasion. Item : We do also bequeath to Miss Kerr, one up-to-date selfwinding and self-operated Talking Machine to relieve her of the duty of reprimanding the pupils for going out the wrong door, for their failure in demonstrating theorems, and various other performances which may necessitate action of said machine. This we do to promote the interests and welfare of our friends in the following classes. Item: We do hereby request that, at the discretion of Miss Watts, some worthy ‘08 member be chosen to the office of erasing boards, winding clocks and serving as general utility man. This T HE C L A S S A N N U A L OF ' ti 7 _ 7 office, we believe, is almost as important as the presidency itself, requiring an able-bodied person. Item: We bequeath one seat located six (6) inches west and four (-1) inches south of the teacher’s desk in A“ Room to be held down some competent member of ‘08. We constitute that said member shall be chosen by popular vote at the first general meeting held at the reference table, in point of afficiency for annoying or amusing, in any wav, shape or manner, the infant class of OS. Item : We do solemnly give and bequeath unto Mr. Westerson one-half (j j) box of fudge, accidently and unintentionally left by us in “A” room during Civics recitation, said parcel to revert to the class of 08 if said heir shall not desire same. Fourth: We do. by this, our Last Will, dispose of the tuition, education and instruction of our heirs, who shall be minors at and after our decease, during their minority, to the teachers of South High School, whose ability we. the wisest, wittiest, dearest and most beloved class that has or shall have departed, have tested to our entire satisfaction, and do hereby appoint them their guardians. Fifth: We do hereby make, constitute and appoint Professor A. X. Ozias, sole executor of this, our Last W ill and Testament. It is our sincerest desire that he may settle the estate as he may think best, and pay our debts without being compelled to account to the Probate or any other court, and we do hereby revoke all and every former will by us made. In testimony whereof. We, the Class of 0L the Testators, have. to this our Will, set our hand and seal, this 4th day of June, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Seven. Our Hand. Seal This instrument was on the day of the date thereof signed, sealed, published and declared by the said Testators, the Class of ’07, to be their Last Will and Testament, in our presence, who. at their request, have subscribed our names thereto as witnesses in their presence, and in the presence of each other.

The membership of the Athletic Association for the first term was large and during the second term broke all the records in the history of the school. All this is directly traceable to the energy and hard work of the members of 07 and at the present time the Association is in a very flourishing condition. FOOT BALL OOTBALL received a great boost at South Side this year by the success of the team. Altho the championship was not won, the team showed such great improvement over the work of the previous year, and became so strong at the end of the season that every one was satisfied. The season opened with rather poor prospects, as only three veterans were back. However, we were fortunate enough to secure Jimmy Ellis for coach and prospects brightened. He soon had the material at hand whipped into shape, and everything was running smoothly, ready for the Fast High game. Unfortunately, about three days previous to this important contest the marks went in and about eight members of the team were debarred. That put everything up in the air and the East Side game was lost. I Jut the score was close and showed that the material and spirit were not lacking. With a week’s time to prepare for the North Side game, the coach and team worked hard blit all the regular players were not yet back in the team and the boys went into that game not yet over the demoralization caused by the wholesale barring of the good players the week before. The first few minutes of that game were disastrous and two touchdowns were scored before the boys really realized it. Then Kelly earned his sobriquet of “Touch-down” Kelly by placing the ball over North’s goal line. From that time on the team played like fiends and altho hopelessly outweighed, by their splendid defensive T I! E C I. A S S A X X U A I. () F ’ 0 7 20 sot T H H I . II S C II O O L work they prevented any more scoring by North Side. The stars of that game were Capt. Gunderson. Kelly, Rigler, Flagstadt and Linscog. The team then struck their true gait and after working hard in preparation, we defeated our hated rivals. Central. After that game Mechanic Arts came easy and South won 28-0.. But the last game of the season against St. Cloud Normal was lost. A combination of strange grounds, much heavier opponents. dirty playing by their opponents and an openly unfair official was too much for the Orange and Black team. In appreciation of their hard work and success the team was voted the honorary S sweaters. A great deal of credit is due Coach Ellis for the excellent showing of the team. If there were such a thiiig as an all-star coach he should certainly be chosen. Individually the boys played tine ball. Capt. Gunderson was conceded to be the best defensive full-back in the high schools, while his punting added great strength to the team. Rigler, the little quarter-back, played that position for the first time that season and covered himself with glorv. Floback and Phelps were spectacular players, but were both reliable and steady. Ericson and Hanson, on the ends, were not brilliant players but were to be depended on to stop anything coming their way. At the tackle positions South was probably the strongest of any school, both being placed on the All-Star. Both guards were Freshmen and should without a doubt prove strong factors in the next year’s team. At the close of the season Flagstadt was elected captain for next year and the Class of 0“ cannot but be proud of the football team and the future teams have their well wishes for the best of success. HAS KKT HA LL j the winter months a basket ball team was lized. The boys worked hard and were good ers. but in this branch of athletics success, as s winning games, forsook South's banner and the majority of the games were lost; but no team won from us without a hard fight as the results of the games show. The lineup of the team was as follows: R. F............................Flynn, Capt., OT L. F................................Fredrickson, 07 C......................................... Solem R. G................................... Peterson L. G.................................... Wethall Subs.—Chellgard. Hanson. 0� Didrickson, ’07 Strelow, 07 Brooks. Mgr. 0 . At the close of the season, Wethall, L. G., was elected to fulfil] the position of captain for the next year, and under such leadership with other veterans of the game left, a very successful team is assured. T II E C LASS A X N U A L O F 0 7 31 BASE BAL FTER one of the most interesting and exciting elections ever held in the school, Kelley, a foot ball star and a member of the Class of 07 % was elected manager of the base ball team and with the season as young as it is he has already shown himself to be the right man for the position. He has prepared a fine schedule of games and has fitted the team with all necessary equipments. Poison was elected captain, and a better captain could not be found anywhere, having played for years and thoroly understanding every principle of the game. The personnel of the team are: Catcher, Bathurst. Pitchers, Poison, Chellgard. McCarthy. Shortstop, Capron. First Base, Grettum, Chellgard, McCarthy. Second Base, McCarthy. Ostrem. Third Base, Poison, Ostrem. Fielders, Linquist, Borgman, Steinfelt, Bertram. Chellgard and Fredrickson. The in field are all fast and always can be relied upon when it comes to bat. The outfield are all good fielders, but rather weak at the bat, but with time they will all show improvement and much is expected of them. 'The pitching staff that South has is extraordinarily strong and we are fortunate to have such a staff. McCarthy, last year’s pitcher, has not been given a trial as yet, but as he did so well last year he will undoubtedly make good this year. Poison, by his work in the games with the University of Minnesota, showed himself up to his old time form again, and has certainly earned a place on the pitching department. Chellgard bids fair to be a rich find. In his game with the Mechanic Arts, St. Paul Central and Humboldt, he had the opposing batters completely at his mercy and altho it was his first trial in the box he showed rare form and much is expected from him. At the time of this going to press but three games for the High School championship have been played and two with the U. of M. The scores were as follows: South 2. U. of M. 8. South (5, St. Paul Central 2. South f , U. of M. 12. South 14. Mechanic Arts 1. South 10, Humboldt 0. The last games give us a hand in for the championship and S n r T 11 II I ; H S C II O ( L 3_ •w THE CLASS A NNUAL OF ’07 88 considering the work of the team as a whole, we have legitimate hope of winning the rest of the games. After being entirely forgotten for two years, the track team was again organized thru the efforts of the members of the Class of ’01. The team was put under the management of Harvey Stre-low. a member of the ’07 Class, and he has proven himself to be a very efficient manager. At the call of Karl Haverstock, who was elected captain, a large number of candidates appeared. They have all worked hard and among them are a number of very promising atheletes. In the meets participated in they have shown great form and we have great expectations for a yet stronger team before the end of the season and hope to end the season by winning the annual spring Northwestern Interscholastic Meet. A stranger entering the office the other day asked of a Senior in attendance there. “Is Mr. Ozias round? ' The reply was, “Yes. very. ’ Now. what did he mean? Student: Since Mr. Westerson can prove that 1 equals 9, can’t he be persuaded to convince some of the other teachers, and meanwhile himself, that 13 equals 93. Have him try it. for we, at least, know that in his case, two in the past equals one in the present. Don't pay any attention to Miss Watts’ 1-2-3-4-5-6-7. She is only mourning over the score Central didn’t make in foot ball. Remember she was never seen on the South stand at any of the games, whereas. Miss Kerr was. Three class yells for her. Who ought to have a place in the poet’s corner of A room— Burns (Edw.). Freshman—Why are Westerson’s I'. S. History class and Civics class so large? Senior—Because they are substitutes for Higher Algebra and Geometry which Miss Kerr teaches. Orilla Kraft has returned to her infancy and again enjoys going out with her doll (Dahl). Charles Boener thinks that if he ever goes traveling he’ll take a sleeper (A. Sleeper). TRACK TEAM L. B. Ji4 SOUTH II I G II S C 11 0.0 L CLASS REVIEW Our play is over at South Side High, The curtain now shall fall: Naughty seven bids goodbye Before the fianl exeunt all. When autumn’s sun shgd its ray On South High’s glorious stage, A mighty throng came there to play In a four years' drama to engage. t the raising of the curtain, There was such a verdant scene In the background, truly certain! Stood the Freshmen robed in green. First Rip Van Winkle woke from slumber, Then X and Y their powers raised. With Latin rules of endless number Alas! we Freshies stood amazed. To Miss Kerr’s entries renowned bv the science. Of “this way in and “that way out, With Caesar in his bold defiance. As Sophomores we roamed about. Then we chose a brilliant ballad. Learned a bit of “parlez-vous So delightful to the palate. And the nasal twanging too. As Juniors, jubilant and jolly. With our colors, Gold and Green, Shunning all our first year’s folly, We proudly entered on the scene. Juggling Eliot and Shakespeare, While Newton’s laws around us danced, Singing Scott's romances dear. To the footlights we advanced. Still higher waves the unfurled banner, With its green and golden glow. The stage resounds with joyful clamor, While happy Seniors round it go. By haunts of Chaucer and satires of Pope, ’Mid shades of Virgil and Wilhelm Tell, Naughty seven fulfilled the scope Of wonderful learning—and did it well. The climax reached—-so ends the play, We hear a new voice call The Green and Gold in grand array Now lets the curtain fall. M. O. THE CLASS ANNUAL OF '07 To say that only an atmosphere of learning pervades Mr. Wcs-terson’s classes would be putting it too lightly, for nothing short of a broadening influence diffuses itself around the person of our beloved (?) Civics teacher. You conic from the breezy, stimulating air of Miss Kerr's room and feel just like (dis)cussing the latest original, when Mr. V. pulls forth bis fountain pen and class book. You resolve to “shut up” and at least try to listen. Meanwhile he warbles oti. in a soothing, slippery, sing-song fashion and you feel your mouth unconsciously opening into a yawn. You shut it hurriedly and try to work off the drowsy spell, when the girl across the aisle starts you again, and your mouth becomes a broadening chasm of uncomprehendable phychological knowledge—but Mr. W. “specls” on. You settle down and listen to his over-ripe jokes, and wonder how he manages to raise his eyebrows in such a fetching manner. He is undisturbed by the signs of sleepiness and occasional snores but continues in a string of unrestrained, uninterrupted eloquence, burying every one under the ponderous weight of his broadening influence, either concerning the “swell on the beach” or the “cow that stepped on his own tail.” You feel the weight, and yawn, the bell rings and you yawn again, the class passes and you reluctantly ( ?) leave, taking with you the indisputable wisdom of vour illustrious pedagogue, leaving to him only a memory, a glorious memory, of the P Senior Class pin which was shaped after the many uncontrolable yawns generated in his class. Mr. Quigley, said Miss McDermid. You may give the properties, please, Of Cyanogen in today’s lesson; And Mr. Quigley started with case— Cyanogen’s a gas that burns ith a sweet-smelling lavendar flame. Here the class all burst into laughter And lie refused to recite again. ooooooooooooouoo •sioiipg -DjqBipj U« iooq siq; ui sjosi joa -PE oi[l JoqiuatuoH HA I J. ox o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o O 0 o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o sa nci o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o MOiunf T •BUlOjd '!(I JOlU3$ B JOJ SDISAIJ, if A1 III oSllBipxO OI 0 |l[ cn. 1( ), w o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o ( o o o o o o o o o o o o o o •jojioH v.d •Xo[doq$ ujbq i[j}A ieos A m o5uEipxo o; o ji| (J'I.K)AV O O O o o o o o o O O O () () o o aONVHDXa oooooooooooooooo SSB[ 3 •XilSllUOtQ III O BMB SU d33 | o; 3u;m 011105—a3XNVA oooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooo (0|£lU(3 SOlllEf •AOIIOUI oq; a [delns puu jopsnq b oq jsiuu t JodBdsAVOu b uejs o; joined V—Q3XNVAV nooooooooooooooo o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o AVO[ -OJl$ AOAJBJl -SSKJ3 JOIUO$ ‘SOOllOJOJOH ’lUO E ODUBA -pu SB uoiiisoj—CIHXXVAY o o o o o o o o o o O o o o o o oooooooooooooooo A0 ||1 ) a ubj[ ssBp AUl ipiM DJUnpBJ UBD I OS SlipOJO iiuissuu A . j V—(I3.LX VA O o o o o o o o o o o o O o o o oooooooooooooooo •DdlUBJNJ ssij ; oa j jo) }qJ8u jsnf luapoiu V—akxXVAV o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o oooooooooooooooo SOJA'j 0I|[O(] ’ABp iCj3Ao o3po[A oii j puB suod ‘JOdBd ‘SjlDUOd l| 11 A Dill A|(i -dns oj ouo oitio$—qh.LXVA o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o oo o oooooooooooo •uosjojso •m i- !3 ''sjiu v—aa.i.x v.w o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o O O O O O o o o o o O o o o o o •AifdjnjY oouj j s£in pom a'iuojos 01 O3 J 3|l l|A A(|BC| Ol[l JO OJBO o p� i oi ouo ouio$—(Kd±XVAV OOOOOOOOOoO O O O O O 0000000000000000 •u OS -U1 H PH III BJqaSiv ipwi 01 osp ouo 3UIOS—an.LXVAV OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O 1 O O O o O O O O O O t o O o sjoiuo$ ’3 A ssb|3 joiunf oip dn D |BA oi ouo 01110$—QHJA’VA cooooooooogcoooo OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ii«i°n r ’(iuo°h 3 UlOJJ AjqBJOJOjd) Olll OI JOJSlS b oq Oi ouo 01110$—CIH.LXVW O o O O O O O o o o o o o o o o OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO •uua'Ih uuj, jnjqsBq ooi uiB j osod -oi(l o |JI3 3LUOS—ag.LNV.W o o o O o o O O O O O O o o o o ‘aaiNVM oooooooooooooooo jvouj so aci irio ot '1 O o II 0 S II D I II ILLHOS oooooooooooooooo o o O SJOSUJOApB jno 3ZIUOJ Bd ° o' O oooooooooooooooo AUDOHdID3H OOOOOOOOOOOO O o o o aubui os q;|M OSUOq K tit pUB UBOJ OS qoo m si A h .

IN CLASS Juniors— Don't relv too much on an “intelligent” expression, you may be called on. Don’t fail to say “not prepared” before class if you don't enjoy reciting in Virgil. This method will save you much annoyance. strengthen vour character and cause Miss Friedlander to admire your courage. Sophomores— Don’t study too hard on your geometry. It is a subject you can repeat with profit and pleasure by taking it over again from Miss Kerr. Freshmen— Don’t fail to make friends with the Seniors and faculty. They enjoy your fresh young conversation. Full many a rose is bound to blush unseen. For no one chanced to wander where it grew. Full many an hour of toil is never known. Because the teacher didn’t ask me what I knew. If “cuts” came every other day And “exams.” never at all; And if we had a holiday twice a month. And but one oral “quiz” in the fall If honors were apples upon a tree. With credits for every one, And there never was such a word as “flunk.” Wouldn’t South High be fun? HUMOR Miss Watts—“Mr. Quigley, what does am’rous mean?” Mr. Quigley—“Something strange.” 0 Jane is still waiting for that young doctor to settle in business: “Oh fickleness! thy name is Westerson. and poor little Helen to have such a father.” Why are Mr. Westerson s jokes like a broken pencil? Because they have no point. “Without a murmur she sits through her classes.” J. McLaughlin. “I seem half ashamed at times to be so tall.” P . Rigler. “So buxom, blithe and full of face.” M. Olsen. “A very gentle beast with a good heart.” B. Felstad. “Don’t count your credits until you have graduated.” E. Hanson. “Up, up my friend, and quit your books or surely you’ll grow double.” R. Reberg. “Soft, gentle and low. an excellent thing is woman.” C. Shepley. “Somebody’s voice—reading too loud.” Miss Watts. When you whisper and Westerson opens his class book and takes out his fountain pen, don’t be afraid of a zero. He is only marking the attendance. A reward will be offered next term, altho we do not intend to foster the spirit of stealing, to any one who can run off with the foot ball more times than “Touchdown” Kelly. Hanson and Gunderson. The person who tries for it must be sure to encourage his colleagues and thus stir up rivalry, for one of the things which the Senior Class of 07 most gladly leave to the Class of “naughty eight is the Football Championship for 1908.

GRADUATION SUITS A SPECIALTY 58 SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL Tuimn 4kThe Widow,’1 from “Prince of lMlHen.M There’s a cunning little Freshman and she’s oh ! so new, With comps, to write and Latin rules to take. There’s a shaky, quaky creature and she’s oh ! so blue With a credit on her math, exams, to make. She is so very green that she avoids being seen She dashes into classes very late; She sighs and dries her eyes, and says, “1 must look wise, Or at the end of the term they’ll Hunk me, sure as fate.” Chorus: She’s a cunning running creature as speeds along the track, She’s a verdant little Freshman, with a pig-tail down her back; Till the end of the term comes along, she thinks she can’t go wrong || :She’s a Hunky, spunky, childlike and chunky, cute little monkey, Freshman: There’s a grace and reverend creature called a Sen-i-or Mass meetings, and Lit. society’s mainstay, She has a very freezable demeanor And she never stops to frolic, so they say. That solemn look may hide all the giddy thoughts inside. Hut still we know its there sometime for harm, Let a Freshman come along, and it’s quite a different song. Poor Freshie’s heart is broken by her charm. Chorus: She’s a grave and haughty Senior, and her course is nearly done, She’s a monstrous, pondrous creature, and her intellect weighs a ton. She’s always on the pound and she thinks she owns the town, 11 :She’s a reverend rushing, Sophomore hushing, all-F'reshman crushing Senior :|| There's the cheerful, careless Sophomore, who is always game No matter how much work she has to do. Geom., quiz or exposition, it is all the same F'or she’s sure that somehow she can bluff it thru. With a criticizing eye, she watches Freshmen shy; She’s glad she’s reached a more exalted state. She's always out for sport, never does the thing she ort— We hope she will repent ’ere it’s too late. Chorus: She’s a sharky, larky Sophomore, and she’s learned a thing or two She's a prying, spying creature, and she’s lots of things to do, Hut the cash accounts are low, to the store she’ll surely go, JShe’s a playful, plucky, happy-go-lucky, on her-self-stuckv Sophomore :|t She’s now a jolly Junior with a rosy path Leading to a name that’s more sedate; She has to do Shakespeare and some math. Nor does she mind a question to debate. With a bright and winning smile, she stops a little while To share another’s little piece of cake. Then before the Junior ball, she has a lovely time F'or then with candy, she’s all on the make. Chorus: She’s a pretty, witty Junior, she’s an upper class girl now She’s a hifty, nifty creature to whom little Freshies bow. fohn s and plavs arc the only thing she hates a well-o, swell-o, jolly good-fellow, I’ll never tell-o-l Qm ' Junior :j| T HE C L A S S A N X V A L O F ’07 bo FA MI UAH (ROTATIONS “Why. then, do von walk as if you swallowed a bed spring?” J.
