CLASS HISTORY.

Ems Class NUMBERS eleven, SIX
charming girls and five brave boys.
You will see that the girls have the
majority, compliment in itself to
their patience.
The average age of this Class is
just sweet sixteen; the average
height feet inches, showing that
we have got to grow physically as
we'll as intellectually.
Ada is one of Canada's fair
daughters. She dresses her pretty
light hair in becoming style. She
has an easy, charming manner.
She entered our 7th Grade in 1900.
Bydiligence she has won for her
seH the highest place in our Class,
al1d we are all glad to- give her due
cradit for it. Her thoughtfulness
forothers may be illustrated by a
little. incident-an incident very
small in itself but very pleasing.
Tnfsis it: Every morning, during
tlNiolet season, she brought to
eacher a bunch j. Of beautiful
vioIefs. This IS a 1itt1e beIief thai
in the act of giving bunch Of
flowers to a person you indeed ex-
press the wish that the person may
have happy thoughts. That being
the case, what pretty little offer
ing at the opening of each day. And
the teacher wasn't the only one to
enjoy the wish, for you know that
we feel little enjoyment in the
flowers on her table,
Ray came to us from North Dako-
ia. Gentleness and becoming mod
esty marks his deeds. We are anx.
iously waiting to hear what our
prophet will say for him, for we ex
pect good work for him.
There are some clearly marked
traits of a politician about John
Through carefully planned efforts
he won for himself a very import
ant place in this class, and you need
not be told that he filled the chair
with considerable dignity. But he
has heen success also in the regu
lar Class work, carrying off certif
Gates in all Eighth Grade subjects
and in some senior subjects.
Florence, perhaps has most truly
lived up to the thought of our mot
to, "Diligence Overcomes Difficult
iee." She has had difficulties in
deed; for weeks at time she has
obliged to be absent because OF
sore eyes. But of her triumphs
need not speak for we regard her as
one of our best.
Milton, the mathematician, came
to us from Iron Mountain, Michi-
gan. He is handsome little man
with pretty little twinkle in his
eye and a flush on his face that
catches the eye of d nany girl. He
moved from Chebd ygan, Mich, in
1899, and entered tn 10 Class in the
Sixth Grade. He is very fond of de-
bate. He thinks clfarly and stands
his ground until convinced by
sound reasoning that a change
would be better.
Lianda! How tt lat name strikes
upon the ear, for does not every
Eighth Grader remember, how,
when in the Algebra Class when an
equation is difficult to solve how
Milton and she discuss the parts
and how the rest IF the Class has to
take a back seat and listen, we'll, as
though she were teacher? Yes,
they do; and if 1 visitor were in
Class when one of these discus
sions was going bn he would say:
9Give me the hi story of that girl
and I would say she was born in
New Hampden, iowa, in 1886, and
from there she 1noved to Minneapo-
lis and from there to Mountain
Iron. She went to school at Duluth,
that little town down there called
! lProctorknott.' She knows, as they
