Good for you Charlie!!
On June 9th, Chas. J. Skwor of Cooperstown graduated with a class of one hundred fifty from the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Chicago. He is a bright, industrious young man who is destined to succeed in his chosen profession. He was born and reared on a farm in Cooperstown where he attended the district school. After completing the course of study in his home school, he attended the Mishicot graded school for five years, completing the course under Otto Zander, now publisher of the Brillion News. He then entered the Oshkosh Normal School and after spending a year, he engaged in teaching and taught the Melnik School for two years, during which time, through private study he secured a second grade
certificate. At the close of his second year at Melnik, he was offered and accepted a principalship at the school at Bessemer, Mich., which position he held for two years. He then abandoned the work of teaching to take up the study of medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in the fall of 1904. In his junior year he was elected assistant sergeant-at-arms by the class and was again elected to the same position by the senior class. he was appointed as assistant House Surgeon of the college by Dr. A.K. Steele, Actuary of the college and was named by the Dean as a member of the quiz class for the Cook county Hospital Internship and was later appointed Intern for West Side Hospital. It is thus seen that Dr. Chas. Skwor had honors conferred upon him by his fellow students and the faculty during his collegiate days. He ranked as one of the best in a class of 150 graduates and that was doing well for a Cooperstown boy. Dr. Skwor is a young man of push and energy and has a promising future before him. -
