Nix'rHANAEL G. FEDDE. The bert portion of a good 111a1z's life is his little, nameless, 1L1Z7'L'l1ZEl'lZbC7'Cd act.: of kind- ness and love. AT is a very able, many-sided young man: His prohciency as an artist is amply il- lustrated by the numerous drawings bearing his signature in this publication. In class work, athletics, society work, church and so- cial functions he is always counted on and al- ways to be depended on. He is always doing favors and little kindnesses for everyone, even at the sacrifice of his own time and conven- ience, yet in a quiet, humble way that adds grace to them all. intellectually he is of a very creative mind-not least in humor-and pre- eminently practical and sensible. Through all this is reflected a high degree of culture and relinement stamping him a gentleman. 25 H. I. FATLAND. All may do tvliczf has by man been done. HIS is the gentleman that says things in such a way that Hitls, a pleasure to listen to it. There is hardly a keener ahead at school for true wit and humor. Hank', is a well-round- ed man, and although most essentially a liter- ary light, still he has not cultivated this at the expense of physical development. ln him the two are well balancedg and this explains why he has been elected Athletic Editor on both The Messenger and VI1iINGYBOHTdS, and man- ager of the track team. Mr. Fatland writes an excellent style, is a very able literary critic, and an acute mathematician.

' S. O. EIDEM. The sccffczf of success is corzsfazzcy of f7lfli'f7USC.U F EIDEM undertakes anything he will stick it outn even though -it be a canvass- ing proposition. XfVOTlC-tl1Z1.f never discour- ages himg he goes right at it with his sleeves rolled up. But together with his ravenous ap- petite for work he has also an open eye for the sunny side of life. He would laugh between his tears,-if he had any. If he becomes your friend-and it is quickly done-he will stand by you through thick and thin. His interests are many and varied. Society work has re- ceived a good share of his time and energy. This year he represented the Gamma Delta in the inter-society debate. RICHARD BYE. W'lz0 saw him always wished to know him ' more. HIS is the most unobstrusive one of all. He is quiet of disposition, and delights in meditation. But to those who are intimate- ly acquainted with him he is a jovial and in- teresting companion. Bye is a keen observer. Although he mingles little in society, yet he is interested in those about him, and a student of human nature. He is diligent and able as a student. His favorite study is languages, es- pecially the classics. Frequently you see him on the baseball diamondg sometimes you see him in the box twirling for his class.

1 Q A OLE FLATEN. I 1ze1Je1' crib, and I 1Zl?'Z,'C'7' cut, I never drink or smoke, Biff I smile all day in -my own sweet way At my little lZG7 I1ZI6.S'S jokes. LATEN is a hearty, jovial fellow. He 1 somewhat reserved and not easily ap- proached, but the ice once broken, he is social and entertaining. His lirm features freely yield expression to his emotions. He is much devoted to music, and like most musicians he enjoys a story and appreciates a joke. His humor and mimicry ioften set a social circle into roaring laughter. Having once heard a speaker, he can mimic him admirably to the great amusement of all who hear it. R. M. FJELDSTAD. He was a man of loquacizfy and good nature. HE vice president of our- class joined us in the Freshman year, a graduate of the Springfield high school. Class patriotism sprang up in him at once, but of late years this has given place to an eager and devoted enthusiasm for Dr. Chase. Witli his un- ceasing How of language and still more with his ready gestures, Mr. Fjeldstad has con- vinced many a hesitating one that the Chase proposition is the best under the sun. Next to Dr, Chase comes the VIKING '08, and here Rudolph has certainly used his business expe- rience and ability to good advantage. In class Work he holds his own, and when 'it comes to Greek scanning his only rival is Doc himself. 26 .',. ,
