H Y A K 19 very certain that we are all the better for it, so let’s close with a hearty cheer for school spirit in all things, great or small. CARLESTA OVERMEYER, ’12. 88 88 88 88 Girls, here we are almost at the end of our school term. Some of us, perhaps, leave for good, while others will return in the fall. However that may be, I, for one, feel that we all have tried to make the best of everything, and to show ourselves appreciative of all the opportunities we have had in the various phases of our school life. Especially do we appreciate the interest which our Bishop has shown in the school, by giving us the beautiful silver cup to work for in basket-ball and the other attractive prizes which were given for other features in athletics. These we all have tried our best to win. Needless to say, the encourage- ment which Miss Frahm has given has helped to make this the best year we have ever had in this department. Then, too, Miss Fitch and the faculty have given us the encouragement of their interest and pres- ence at our big events. With such backing it is no wonder that we had such a splendid showing for Field Day. We are glad, too, that so many of the girls were able to go to the Athletic Banquet, for that means not only good standing in the gymnasium work, but also in academic work as well. So let us close our year with nine long rahs and a tiger for Miss Frahm, Miss Fitch, the Bishop and the Annie Wright Seminary. MINNIE SCOTT, ’13. 88 88 88 88 We print below the names of the girls on the athletic honor roll this year. The length of the lists speaks well for the girls’ spirit and their earnest endeavors in their gymnasium work, but may it increase until it includes the names of every girl in Miss Frahm ’s roll book: Dorothy Atkinson. Ruth Carlson. Lulu Clay. Helen Davies. Janie Dow. Corlnne Doud. Edith Eaton. Bessie Eckert. Edith Greenfield. Selma Hanson. Theresa Holmes. Jean Howell. Lena Jenott. Winifred Jenott. Rowine Kellogg. Marion Kellogg. Ruth La Forge. Elizabeth MacLean. Katie McRae. Edna Roach. Lotus Robb. Blanche Robinson. Frances Root. Florence Schultz. Irene Short. Hazel Small. Rebecca Stevenson. Mary Tarbell. Muriel Wilkinson. Adelaide Young.

18 H Y A K This being Ihe last number of the Ilvak this year, we deem it advis- able to say a few words concerning its publication next year. We, the Juniors, have decided that our class will be too small and the girls will have too heavy schedules to take up the Hyak again and do it full jus- tice. We hope the Class of ’12 will give this subject earnest considera- tion, and decide to carry on the Ilyak work in our stead, as we feel confident that so large and competent a class cannot fail to make it anything but a success. The Hyak has been kept up for so long that it would be a shame to drop it now, especially when there are so many girls who are capable of doing very good work for it. If the Junior class will take it up next year, we promise that we will do all in our power to aid them. ROWINE KELLOGG ' ’ll. S8 8 8 8 Now that the great day is drawing near which terminates our course, we Seniors look back with sad hearts over the happy years which we spent here together, at the thought of leaving the dear old school, and, most of all, our loving classmates, who will scatter far wide, perhaps never all to meet again. We hope tha. we may have some pleasant memories, some kind thoughts, of us in the minds of our teachers, who have done so much for us, and that when we come back from time to time to visit the school and look with pride at the good work of the students and the fine standard the school has attained, we may feel that we have had our little part in it all. All our joys and triumphs, all our plans for the future, have an undertone of sadness. ETHEL LEVIN, ’10. 8 88 8 88 I am quite sure that a great deal has already been said about the fine spirit which the girls have shown in athletics, although, of course, too much cannot be said about it. Yet I think the girls deserve a lot of praise for the spirit shown in other things. From what I have heard, there is a great deal more school spirit this year than there has been before. Good ! Take the walks, for instance! Now, all of us are bound to grumble about it at times, but since the divisions have been made, there has not been any grumbling that mattered, and it has been this something called “spirit” which the girls have used to make walks a pleasure in- stead of a duty. Then the teachers! Haven’t they shown just the best spirit? Take the days when we were preparing for Field Day, weren’t they ready at any moment to drop their own work to help get ready a costume for the parade or suggest what to do in any emergency that arose? Taking it all around, every one has shown a lot of spirit, and I’m

20 H Y A K LEST AULD ACQUAINTANCE BE FORGOT Mrs. Frederick G. Hutchinson, formerly Ella Paddock, ’90, has been visiting Mrs. Matthew Miller in Tacoma, on her way to Hood River, Oregon. Mrs. Hutchinson is a daughter of the late Bishop Paddock of Washington, and it is interesting to note that in her new home she will be in the diocese of her brother, Bishop Paddock of Eastern Oregon. 88 88 88 88 Irene Graham, now Mrs. Bean, has come from Bellingham to Tacoma, where her husband takes Mr. Dimmock’s place as superintendent of the T. R. P. Co. 88 88 88 88 It is with deep regret that we chronicle the death of Mrs. Hayden, formerly Stella Applegate, ’93 and for several years a teacher in the Annie Wright Seminary. She will be greatly missed. 88 88 88 88 May Eidemiller, ’05, will be graduated this month from the Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland. 88 88 88 88 Mary Atkinson, Lucy Cook and Grace Macdonald, all ’06, will take their degrees at Wellesley.

Johns are settled in their new home at North Twenty-fifth street and Puget Sound avenue. M rs. Johns was formerly Louise Pringle, ’08. 88 88 88 88 Wilhelmine Fink, ’08, has been having a most delightful trip this spring. Starting from Tacoma for New Orleans on the Shriners’ special, she has since visited friends in Galveston, Memphis and »t. Louis. Then in Chicago she was the guest of Mrs. Cavender, who will be remembered as Miss Alice Mills, formerly in charge of the art de- partment of the Annie Wright Seminary.
