S. O. FLOM. 'fPVhat a mah can do is his greatest 0l'1ZUll'Z6'lLf.U ' HS. O. is not without embellishments. Three years was all the time he needed for mastering the High School work. Greek, Calculus, and Natural Philosophy have also been forced to give up their contents to his keen and logical mind. But this farmer's son is not found in the class room only. He is also an active member in the Alpha Kappa, Choral Union, and Luther League and is this year treasurer of the Athletic Union. A Wonderful capacity for hard work and a good taste for everything that is noble are his possessions. A. L. GAARDER. Nat-ure is 11'lCl1L,5 teacher. She unfolds her tr'easu1'c's to his search, uzzseals his eye, illumizzes his 7l'11.I1d, and purifics his heart. Gaarder, as above quotation indicates, is a lover of nature. His most joyous hours have been spent in the woods and among the bluffs of southern Wiscoiisiii. Skees and rifles are among his best friends and he holds the enviable record OI having four deer scalps to his credit. He is an all-around athlete, taking part not only in baseball, but also in track Work and tennis. These well rounded athletic abilities peculiarly adapt him for his position as athletic editor of the VIICING. He joined the Alpha Beta Chi literary society in his Fresh- man year and has proven himself strong in that line of work, Although a lover of literature he has devoted his entire time to the mastering of sciences, chemistry being especially attrac- tive to him. w 1 I OLAF GUNDERSON On their own merits modest 77lU1'L are du11zI7. Gundy hails from Porter, Minn. His chief characteris- tic is modesty. His ability as a hall player was discovered dur- ing his hrst year, when he was taken from the third team and placed in the ranks of the first. This position he has held with credit ever since. Some of the hardest struggles St. Olaf has seen in baseball have had Gundy in the box and by cool- headedness and skill many victories have been placed to his credit, and to the credit of St. Olaf. The fact that he has been captain of the baseball team for three years, has in no way affected his class work, to which his records bear Witness. He is an active member of the Alpha Kappa Literary Society. Last but by no means least, must be mentioned his ability as a violinist. '

R, , SIGFRED ENGH. No one knows what he can do until he tries. The class of ,OQ is exceedingly fortunate in having this youth as one of its members. Sig is a favorite among his classmates as he possesses a genial humor and unvarying cheer- fulness which are both pleasing and contagious. He is an ac- tive participant in all student enterprises, and an earnest and conscientious worker who meets with success in all his en- deavors. In class work his chief interest centers on biology. Music appeals to him in a marked degree as he is a cornet soloist in the band and also a star member of the Junior Octet. At present he is editor of the local department of our Mes- senger and is also a prohcient artist as his work in the VIKING testifies. He is an able young man with a bright future lying before him. CARL FARSETH. The man who is fond of books is a nzan of lofty thought, and of elevated opinions. Although of a modest and retiring disposition, Carl hy no means wants energy. Endowed with a great capacity for work, he has as a student won the esteem of all for his con- scientiousness and thoroughness. Although mainly interested in the classics, Greek and Latin holding no terrors for him, he has also a knack for the sciences. He is also of a keen lit- erary mind, original and freshg the mysteries and intricacies of Ibsen have always been peculiarly fascinating to him. He is an active member of two college societies, where he reveals himself to be a clear and logical thinker. Having neglected athletics heretofore, he has now begun playing tennis and in a way which shdws that he intends to make up for lost time. HARALD FARSETH. The eznbodiinent of perpetual motion. From the Madison Normal School to the 'Wittenberg High School, and from that institution to the academy at St. Olaf, marks the stepping stones by which Harald ascended into the ranks of the Class of 709. Across his beaming countenance is tatooed the word Haggressive, a striking characteristic of his attitude toward whatever he undertakes. Those who recall his short athletic career remember him as a fast one while he lastedg others have had occasion to know that he does honor to the name student, some think of him as a Knight of the Tray as associated with the dining-hallg while many connect him with his favorite expression, Going into oratory F In whatever light he is seen, cheerfulness and diligence pre- dominate.

E. E. HANSON. Strong in will, earnest in ezzdeazzorf' Mr. Hanson possesses the enviable qualities of being witty and versatile. Witli his quick brain and ready information he is a veritable gatling gun to cope with in a discussion. His great ability and unbounded interest have brought him to the front in many of the student organizations. Our VIKING is very much indebted to him for conscientious work as adver- tising manager. His election as baseball manager is merely another proof of the students' confidence in him. In the band he is also a prominent member, manipulating the baritone-saxo- phone with great skill. Nor has he neglected his society work, being one of the charter members of the Alpha Kappa Literary Society. EMU. M. HAUGE. 'Ulifiiclz wisdom ofteri goes with few words. Emil is our editor of the department on organizations at St. Olaf. He is of a quiet nature and somewhat reserved. But when once one becomes acquainted with him, he has no cause of regret for doing so. As a clarinetist Emil is there with the goods, being a prominent man in his section. During the baseball season he may be seen doing the slab work for his class, and many are the victims of this KHOQ southpawf' Al- though he has had many 'fpressing engagements, yet he has always had time to do full justice to his class work and besides to attend faithfully to the duties of the various organizations of which he is a member. HERSLEB ARUP HELSEBI. The sweetest hours that e'c1' I spend, are spent among the ' losses. Helsem is a well-known member of the Junior Class. Those who know him most intimately hnd him to be a hearty and entertaining friend. Helsem believes in a well-rounded education. Hence his attention is divided in different lines. The classic lore seems to have most charms for him, and Greek appears to have special attractions. He is a member of the band, in which organization he plays the trombone. Arup is also an ardent and enthusiastic supporter of athletics, and no intercollegiate game fails to see him at his place. He is a member of the Gamma Delta Literary Society.
