- The Artemisia 1921 . ALUMNI jOLLEGE days are much the same for all of us whether they were days in the nineties or those just a year past. We have all gone through similar pranks, studied, more or less, in the same way, played the same games, and cheered or fought with the same un- dying spirit for good old Nevada. Then after graduation our classes have been scattered to four directions, we have all gone out to serve, few have returned, but all remember and give credit to sacred Alma Mater. We would all like to have a reunion, or the next best thing, a roll call of all graduates from the Class of ' 9 1 to the Class of ' 2 1 , but time, space and lack of information prevent us from checking up on all of our classmates in this way. There is a fine big family of Nevada graduates and we point with pride to the University of Nevada for the excellent men and women it gives to the service of the State and United States, beginning with Frank H. Norcross of the Class of ' 91, down on thru to the members of the Class of ' 20 where we find them just beginning to help solve the problems of the times. Nevada is not narrow in her training for we find her graduates in every field of life, scattered to many of the far countries. There is Albert Lewers ' 92 in the U. S. Patent Office in the Department of Chemistry in Washington; James F. Abel ' 01 who is Chief Clerk in the Bureau of Education in Wash- ington ; David W. Hays ' 00 who has been very successful in an irrigation pro- ject in Canada; Tom Lawrence ' 99 a Mining Engineer in Mexico; Anna Martin ' 94 who is noted as a Suffrage leader, and who is taking an active part in politics, and Emmet D. Boyle ' 99 who has made one of the most progres- sive and prominent Governors Nevada has ever had. Besides those already mentioned, those who have been active in the field of politics are: Delle B, Boyd ' 99 who was Republican Presidential Elector for the State of Nevada ; Harry E. Stewart ' 94 who is now the Mayor of the City of Reno; William Kearney ' 04 who ran very well for Republican candidate for Governor, is now practicing law in Reno. Irwin W. Ayers ' 01 and Harold Louderback ' 04 are both prominent lawyers on the coast. George Spring- meyer ' 02 is practicing law in Reno and is a strong supporter of the University. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Peterson (nee Helen Fulton) ' 07 and ' 10 are in Illinois where Mr. Peterson is working for the Holt Manufacturing Co. Robert Ostrof f ' 15 is in business with his father, practicing medicine in Reno, and is the doctor employed by the Associated Students to attend all cases at the PAGE 27
