Pa Lindberg's Grade School Senior Thesis
1909, about 13 years old, Princeton School, near or in Ishpeming, MI

Pa wrote his thesis in ink on lined foolscap paper (just a bit shorter than legal size).  No erasures were possible so he simply lined out corrected material, but considering his 13 years age there are surprisingly few of these.  The topic is the popular prophecy of where he and his classmates will be as adults.  I simply give below the four pages of his thesis, scanned from the brittle originals which I plan to give to Barbara for safe keeping.  Dot or Larue had rolled the originals into a scroll, so it is difficult to handle, especially in its brittle state.  The outer (last) page is beginning to fall apart.
