opportunity, prosperity, and future
source of intelligence. Therefore let
us try to bring together all of the
graduates here as much as possible
and lift the veil of the future; to see
how, when and where the knowledge
stored up from the hard hours work
put in at the Oakes High School, will
be applied.
r. j. Wilson has such talent for
leading male citizens in his path and
is so radical as speaker and
debator that within the next few
years we will see him teaching
Bolshevik's Democracy in Russia. He
may run Ford agency over there
and show them how to assemble
Fords also.
his great strength will be seen ten
years from now in the athletic
circles, especially left handed base

powers in the harvest fields last year
shocking grain for his father.
Perhaps the most quiet and parent
al lad in class is Thorlief Anderson,
who as you remember did so excel
lently in acting the part of father in
the Senior class play. His fondest
desire is to settle down in the years
to come in beautiful home in Oakes
with a certain chubby Sophomore.
Instead of succeeding his father he
will become draughtsman and ma
,chinist. Combining these studies with
the Plane and Solid Geometry of his
course here means that he will be an
expert engineer, most likely travelling
through this territory for some large
corporation.
OF kith and kin, brother to him, is
a certain scholarly author, by name,
Fritz whose art is making stories and
weaving plots Within eight years
that man will be chief reporter to the
London Times with a staff Of six at
his side. Occasionally a book will
pop out to the public and any person
fond Of Poe's thrilling works will
enjoy an occasional volume by his
follower. Fritz Anderson.
MI. Nepstad's occupation is not
certain yet but his interest so far Is
in farming His avocational interests
are playing billiards and dancing. The
latter should be mentioned first but
it's attractions are only through a
certain mistress Grocery clerk
Between dancing lessons and farming
there is great choice of occupa-
tions, but we will let his future wife
choose his future work.
Cora Fuller is seen seated at a
piano along with violinist, a, cor
netist, probably Harold Vinkle. a
celloist, and one playing the saxa-
phone. Her work was planned for
her and the training acquired in
school and out on the piano fits in
neatly with the high-class lecture
course she is taking up. Discontinue

it she says her salary of $3.50 month
is better pay and much better hours.
teacher of young minds Already
she has large class in Sunday
School and her, work is so efficient
we are sure she will be able to
manage her pupils in the country
school. The training she is getting
will make advancements for her very
fast and soon she will be teaching in
city school. We hope it will be
Oakes when the new builing is erect

Her sister, Florence, has very
much of the opposite view in life.
She is employed in Washington, d
c., as bookReeper and stenographer
for Zacharias, slish & Co. Completing
a three years course in Fargo Busi-
ness College she is we'll fitted for
the high position she now holds.
The dwarf of the class, Chloe
Fleming obtained position in the
Kansas City Public Schools. She
teaches the Fifth grade and enjoys
her work immensely With SO pupils
in her care and seven. subjects, best
of these history, her hands are full
and her recreation short.
Again, it seems our. class is turning
out more teachers than any other
occupation. This time we catch Miss
Evelyn Buckmiller getting experience
in assisting Miss Nichols in the first
grade. Studying for system, she has
become. one of the most systematic
teachers we know of. Her pupils will
be little tots whom she enjoys teach
ing the games and stories to. Per
haps Oakes will be her destination in
this profession when Misses Nichols
or Canfeld are gone.
North Dakota has some fine farms
yes, and some happy farmerettes
too. Olive Singleton loves the old
farm three miles north of town and
around about this time of. year she
longs to be back in her old dusty
suit Of coyeralls. The farm is a
great place for any girl to be brought
up. but will Olive stay there? We
