From Hildred's diary, it appears she made frequent trips to Dakota when she was a teenager. Rolland was her classmate at Winona High and their romance apparently started in high school.

  COMMENCEMENT HONORS AT WINONA HIGH SCHOOL Miss Gladys Winter Ranks Highest and Will Be Veladictorian and Rolland Wilson Comes Next and Will Be Salutatorian — Both Residents of Dakota Village— Interesting Announcement by Principal Webster Davis. Gladys Winter with an average grade of 95.32 was today declared to be the valedictorian of the class of 1915 of the Winona High school and Holland Wilson with an average grade of 94.68 the salutatorian of the class, by Principal Webster Davis before a general assembly of the student body of the school. The honor roll of this year's graduating class oj the High school consists of fourteen students who have performed the work of their High school career with an average grade ibove 90 per cent. This compares very favorably with the honor roll of last year's class, which contained the names of fifteen students out of a class of eighty while this year's class will have only about 60 members. Mr. Davis congratulated the school, the faculty and those on the honor roll for the excellent record they had made after his announcement had been received by the student body. Winner of First Honors Gladys Winter, the valedictorian, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Winter of Dakota, Minn., her father being a fruit raiser. Misa Winter was born in 1897 and, although a student in Dakota, received most of her education in a little, rural, one-roomschool-hoese at Richmond, Minn. There she easily led her class and almost invariably carried off the reward of merit cards. She finished the later years of her grade schooling in Dakota, where she completed her work with high honors under Miss Cora Dickson, now Mrs. Frank Morrisey of Winona. Miss Winter is a graduate of the literary course of the Winona High School having completed the subjects of that course with the exceptionally fine average of 95.32. Thruout her school career here she had done tplendid work and taken much interest and active.part in the different interests o£ the High school. She has been on the Radiograph staff and was editor in chief of a recent number. She also did splendid work as a member of the Junior Dramatic society a rear ago. Second Honors Winner Rolland Wilson, the salutatorion oi his class, is the son of Mr. and Mrs, C . E. Wilson, also of Dakota, Minn. Mr. Wilson was born in 1895, and as a student of Dakota, proved himself very competent in his school work, re ceiying very high marks. He completed his school work there in 1908 under Miss Agnes Hatch, four years before he took up his High school ionrse in Winona. C- B. Wilson, his father, is a physician and surgeon at Dakota. Mr. Wilson will be a graduate of .he classical course of the High school with an average grade of 94.68. Mr. Wilson has proved himself a consistent and excellent student all thru his school career and he has also taken an active interest in the affaiTs of Sis class and school. Conddentally, both Miss Winter and Mr Wilson, both residents of Dakota, started school at the same time and will complete their preparatory school work together with very high grades, the highest of their class, a worthy showing. An interesting feature of the honor roll which those people lead, is the fact that half of its members are boys and half are girls.
