Minnie Rossow Harms saved these questions, dated May 1913, from the high school entrance examination that would determine whether she would be admitted to Hobart High School, or any Indiana high school.

The chronology of Minnie's education isn't clear at this point. She completed the eighth grade (1911? 1912?); then she attended Gary Business College for a year, then entered Hobart High School — or maybe it was the other way around? The owner of the steamer-trunk collection believes she did attend Hobart High for a year or two, although she did not graduate. I can't find her in any of the yearbooks, but then the yearbooks of that time focused on the graduating seniors.
