u objective were Mrs.
Hoey Farrow, Miss
Katherine Morrison, Miss Lila
Hudson and George Jester. To
be gone two weeks, with no
other thing in mind but a sight
seeing jaunt, seems like a fine
way to spend a vacation. The
exposition has come at an OppOr-
tune time for many folks who
will visit that part of our cOun-
try for the first time. It was
interesting to learn that the
architect who was selected to
design the Classic-Modern build
ings of the Exposition was a
classmate of Mrs. Soren Peter
sen, who lives near town on the
Shawnee Road. Mrs. Petersen
was graduated from the Hop
kins, Mimi. High School in 1912
along with George H. Dahl, who
cared much more for drawing
sketches than the studying or
reading and the other two. He
pursued his choice of study at
Harvard University after grad
uating at the University of Min
'nesota and then on to Europe
for architectural designs pecu-
liar to Spain, France, Italy and
Northern Africa. So, these days
Mrs. Petersen is sharing the
hOnOrs with her former class
mate, who must be lauded for
the beautiful reproductions of
his art.
