An Open Letter.

Mr. Editor: While in reminiscent
mood, recently, / was reminded that
THE APPEAL was started in the year
1885 and therefore will pass the 25th
milestone of it's existence this year.
What number of interesting
events have taken place during these
twenty-five years, what wonderful ad-
vancements have been made by the
Atro-American citizens of the Twin
Cities in all lines Of life!
And as / Was one of its early pre-
lnoters and know much Cr it's his
tory, ! believa It is no small! thing
for a newspaper To live for quarter
of century InCer the circumsta lcos
which have 'lrt unded TIE Ap-
PEAL, and it seems to me- that some
sort If celebrate ON of the e:rnt
would lie eminer:!y fit ard proper.
and, I also believe that Tie citizens
Of the Twin Cities whom you have
served so faithfully and well would
gladly Join in making the event one
long 10 be remembered.
My idea is that a souvenir edition
of THE APPEAL be published con
tanning a chronological history of the
tNSulS Il1lC nave LIdllS)lI0u curing
it's existence, cuts and sketches of
prominent men and women, cuts of
the beautiful homes that so many
have become the happy possessors of,
and numerous other matters of inter
est that would make such an edition
a most valuable one for us ALL Then
as a grand finale a public testimonial
celehrat tion in some large hall on the
anniversary day of THE APPEALS
bith or such other day that in your
judgment is more suitable, in which
all may take a part in making the
event one Of the largest ever held
here.
I would suggest, if the idea meets
your approval, that you select a num-
ber of persons to act as a committee
to carry out such plans as I have ad-
varced or as you may deem most adj
visable.
Very truly yours.

Tho February Class.

The February class of 1910 num-
bers twenty-five and may be regarded
as the first class'to graduate at the
mid-year. 1t should be noted, how
ever, that in February 1904 one stu
dent was ready for graduation. Mid
year graduating classes. from various
causes, will not reach as large NUM-
bers as those graduating at the close
of the school year. This year the mid
year or February graduating class is
only two-fifths as large as the June
class.
The class of February, 1910, is COM
posed of fifteen young ladies and sew
en- young gentlemen. This sustains
the usual ratio of a little more than
two to one in favor of the young la
dies. The average age is nineteen
years, two months. or three months
older than the average of the class of
1909. The youngest member is seven
teen years. nine months old and the
oldest twenty-one years, eight months.
The average height is five feet, six
inches, the same as the average of the
class of 1909. The stature of the
smallest is five feet, one and one half
inches. while that of the tallest Is five
feet, nine and one-half inches. In
weight the class average is one hun
dred twenty-eight pounds also the
same as the class of 1909. The light
est weight is ninety pounds. the heav-
lest, one hundred and sixty pounds.
English Predominant.
In nationalities, the record is FIVE

There were numerous interesting
comments as To what study was liked
best and why. In Chemistry and Ply
sizes such comments as these were
made: They liked the experiments,
they dealt with elementary principles
and with SO many familiar things.
They also found out number 81
things that puzzled. I'm mathematics
they seemed to get more out Of those
subjects. knew when they had them
prepared and felt they were dealing
with truths. History was liked by some
because they said il came and stayed
easily. English was found by some to
be more interesting and easy and
therefore enjoyed most while others
enjoyed IL because they learned about
lives of great men and enlarged their
vocabularies.
