Title
1913 Yearbook
Description
Senior Commercial Class.
CONSIDERABLE space has been given to reviewing the work of the graduates from
the Academic and Classical Courses, and to predicting for them remarkable
careers in their respective professions.
Our work, however, would be woefully incomplete did we neglect to note the
achievements of our Commercial Graduates, since you must foresee, from their class predictions, that the world of finance will be made better and placed on a sane and safe
basis once they have taken their places, holding the reins of power.
Shields
"Jew" is an example of what college life can do for a bashful youth. On September
7th, 1911, Harry, with his little mongrel and suit case, left Clinton for St. Ambrose.
The next afternoon, completely fatigued by his long walk, he arrived at the college. His
faithful friend was refused admission, but H. E. was taken in as a Commercial Junior.
So rapid was his progress, that he soon became a wizard at figures. The boys got to
like the Jew, and the next year he was chosen President of the class. He wants to be
President of the Northwestern Railroad. He has all the necessary qualifications (face,
nose, gestures, etc., etc.), and we expect to see him realize his ambition.
Epping
Among the Juniors of 1912, we find the name of Anthony Epping. Anthony, who, on
account of his somniferous propensities is sometimes called "Sleepy," stands at the head
of his class. His ability as a bookkeeper and stenographer assures him a lucrative position in any large firm, where honesty, industry and efficiency are appreciated.
Dowd
Nebraska is famous for its sandstorms. One September evening the students of S.
A. C. were startled to see a two-hundred pound giant descending from the heavens. He
reported a rapid transit on one of those gentle zephyrs from the Land of Nod. He
seems to have imbibed the spirit of the cyclone, since he has proven himself a whirlwind in the class room, and on the gridiron his prowess proved the undoing of his wily foemen. If his school day life is to be taken as the criterion of his business career, we
foresee in the near future a time when the sand-hill deserts of Western Nebraska will
be a misnomer.
Conway
Recently the Rock Island Southern Railway opened up a strip of country hitherto
unknown to the civilized world. A young, ambitious savage, dissatisfied with the obscurity
in which he had been reared, decided to sally forth and view the world. He came to Davenport and entered our college. His progress has been most rapid. Now he is ready to go out and face the world on an equal footing with all competitors, and we predict for
him unlimited success in the world of finance.
