uJhr (Class $™phmj One evening as 1 was thinking of my lonely lot. With nothing to cheer me but bird. cat. and tick of the clock, A voice I heard. Just like a bird. Telling me of my old school-mates, who were then Altogether in the class of 1910. It told me of what they're doing far and near. Some of the things are very queer. Hut remember ere this is told That a bird is as true as gold. Hut it you think this is absurd, Please do not read it word for word. The tales of Eve Bergeson I so have to tell. ltho’ he wanted someone a credit to sell. He was the most brilliant in English Lit. And I think made a big hit. Hut he teaches us how to be free from all care And get our credit any where. Miss Grace, altho she went by •'Green.” Is now a fortuneteller serene. Altho' she claims to tell the truth Never crowded is her booth. A devoted nurse is Miss Effie Peterson now. Teaching the Misses Einberg and Dorfener how. A world-famous prima-donna Miss Kulbcrg has chosen to be. While Noel Holm as a public speaker has traveled far o'er the sea. In a Junior class Lillie P.jerke did play. Till the teacher sent her out one day: It worried her so for breaking the rule That she decided to keep a botany school. Sam Rauch for information is still asking at a wonderful rate. While Miss Woolpy is trying her best to skate. This was tlio't to have started in fun. Hut did not end as twas begun. Miss Abrahamson is a fine hair modiste. Who carries the finest stock ever purchased yet. Walter Nelson has invented an aeroplane so fine. nd at last Harry Conover and Jacobson have found a gold mine. Dora Thomas a bookworm is she. For there is nothing in a book she cannot sometimes see ( ?). Eric Johnson, a popular young man. Is doing the best that anyone can. 24

At the beginning of our last term, the founder of the Salmagundi Clubs at South High School came back to A room, alter a term’s absence. Almost immediately these clubs were reorganized and they are a great help to us as well as being very enjoyable. We have a new class president and he is a hustler, altho we were somewhat slow in getting things started. We shall graduate from dear old South High with flying banners. We leave our good records behind us and hope that the classes to come after us will live up to our standards. We shall go forth from high school to our university, or to other colleges, or we shall at once step into the busy work-a day world. Whatever we do, we shall have something to look back upon with pleasure and pride, our school life at South High. LILAH M. YOUNGS. 23

While Irene Smith as her accompanist goes. And their success over every land blows. Marie W’oltman is now living bv the use of the pen: No doubt she learned it in 1910. Belinda Si verson is a notorious suffragist, Miss Mabel Lyons is an excellent against. Leonard Lundquist as a book agent isn't a fake. He sells books as fast as hot cakes. Lenora Shiebe is happy and has moved out west. While the Misses Gangstad and Kemna as stenographers are doing their best. Messrs. Xorrbom and Larson, when school was o’er.

So to his lakeside home he tied. 2S
