$40. OF these 81 young men and l04
young women from the Dewey and
$50 young men and 2O6 young wome Il
are from the Blaine. That is to say
81 per cent OF the Dewey graduates
are young men and SO per cent are
young women. Forty per cent of
the Blaine graduates are young men
and 80 per cent are young women.
Taking both schools together 49,,
| per cent are young men and GIL, per
cent are young women. or the total
of 52l graduates, 80 per cent are from
the Dewey and IS per cent are from
the Blaine. This is good showing
for the Dewey as the enrolment at
the Blaine is as rule about three
times that Of the Dewey, while that
school has graduated only slightly
more than twice rs many as the Dew
ey.
AS a very large per cent of the
graduates have finished school in re-
cent years and nearly all of the list
are on this side of middle age, only Il
small percentage are dead. OF the
Dewey graduates only two young
men and two young women have
died. The Blaine has not been quite
so fortunate for of its graduates six
young men and seven young women
are no longer living. Taking both
schools together the per cent of the
dead numbers trifle more than three
per cent.
The marriage statistics gathered
by Mr., Shong are especially inter.
esting IA 1t shows that Cupid by no
means has been idle. OF the Dewey
young men, 10 have married, while
"a young women can no longer class
themselves as bachelor girls. \ per-
centage of 16 per cent for the men
and 90 per cent for the women. At
the Blaine 81 of the young men have
married and So young women, or a
per cent of ii for the one and % for
the other.
The residence statistics show that
35 of the Dewey men still make Su-
perior their home or a percentage of
go. The young women have done a
little better for the city, for II still
live here, that is percentage OF 20.
At the Blaine 80 young men still re-
side in Superior, or a percentage of
SO. The young women living in SUI
perior number l31 or 65 per cent of
the total. The average of both the
schools show that about OF the
graduates have left the city. Their
places of residence show that they
are widely scattered. Nearly every
state in the Union has representa-.
tivss as has Mexico and Canada.
or all the information gathe rec
perhaps the most interesting is thai
concerning occupations. OF the s!
Dewey men who are now living, 1.

office workers; are in business foI
themselves, 3 are lawyers, 6 school

dance, 81 or several more than Il
have or are carrying their education
farther than the high school and that
more than one half have taught in
