They pass all too quickly and are gone forever. They mark our passing into the more serious walks of life. We have endeavored to preserve memor- ies of these days so that, when the fleeting years have caused life to be less bright, this year-book may serve to lighten the burden of your responsibilities and be a pleasant reminder of this one short year of our High School career. —Editor.

We entered this school in the fall of 1922 and from the beginning we took to our work with a relish. Never before had there been such an industrious class, and the upper-classmen were struck by the earnestness and zeal with which we did our work. Tradition has decreed that the Freshman class be the goat; however, we bore our troubles stoically, and though the upper-classmen did their best to torment us, they found it hard to do so. Soon after taking up our school duties we organized the class and elected class officers. We chose for a motto Vim, Virtue, and Victory. This motto has characterized the Class of ’26 in everything which it has undertaken to do. The first event of importance to us was the Freshman mixer. After going through that ordeal we felt fully initiated into whatever mysteries of student life there are. Soon afterwards we gave the Sophomores a party which was a great success. Flowever, we were not only successful socially, but we had al- ready become well established in athletics, for some of the boys in our class were on the county championship football and baseball teams of that year. The days flew swiftly by and we soon found ourselves at the end of our Freshman year. Upon coming back for the second year of our high school careers we found our old seats taken by a new crop of Freshmen while we occupied the seats which had been used by the sophomores of the year before. Our class had now lost several of its first-year members, but this proved to be no drawback, for we were far more successful in everything than we had been in our Fresh- man year. We were well represented in every school activity. Some of our boys were on the football team which battled its way to the Western Washington cham- pionship; others were on the basketball and baseball teams. We were also strongly represented in debate, the negative team being made up entirely of sophomores; one member of the affirmative team was also of our class. Four of our members were in the orchestra, several in the glee club, and three of our members were on the Arlington High School News Staff. However, it must not be construed that we engaged only in the various outside activities. We worked diligently on our lessons, and as a result a large number of our members was on the honor roll. The time sped onward in its flight and we soon found ourselves starting out upon our Junior year. Our first two years at Hi had been successful in every respect, but our Junior year eclipsed them both.. As Juniors it was our duty to publish the Annual. This was no small task, but as always before we remembered our class motto and did our work well. We chose George Starlund for editor and John Wendell for business manager. These two proved to be efficient in their work; the result was that the Annual was pronounced the best ever. The outstanding event of the year was the Junior Prom. This was the - JEhr £tUlauuami� h Irati - SENIOR HISTORY—Continued fifth Prom held by the school. Various members of the class worked diligently under the direction of Mr. Boyer in decorating the pavilion. T he Prom was a huge success socially as well as financially. We were also as usual engaged in other outside activities. 1 he one in which we were strongest was baseball; this was proved by the fact that oui team decisively defeated a team composed of the best players the other three classes could furnish. The days flew by one by one and when our Junior year drew to a close we were found to have successfully kept all the traditions handed down to us by preceding classes. We are now in our Senior year and there are but a few more days left until we shall leave this school. This, our last year, will upon its comple- tion be put down as the most successful one of our high school life. We have been, as usual, well represented in outside activities. We held our own in football, and the Seniors won both the boy s and girl s interclass basketball championship. We also placed second in the interclass track meet. The ma- jority of the cast of the all-school play which was presented last fall was made up of Seniors. Another event of importance was the Senior play. It was full of laughs from start to finish and is a splendid example of what the Class of 26 can do. We have now the Senior Sneak Day to look forward to, and planning for it will somewhat ease our every-day burdens. In a short while we shall be leaving this dear old school and shall be going out into new and larger fields of learning. We have before us all the golden opportunities and promises. It is for us to take those opportunities and make the best use possible of them; by so doing all the promises will materialize. We have spent four years in Hi and in return for our toil we have received knowledge and ideals which will enable us to live straightforward lives hence- forth. With our class motto. Vim, Virtue and Victory, fresh in our minds and those lines Count that day lost whose low descending sun Has seen by thy hand no worthy action done, ever lingering in our memory, we are setting out in life leaving behind us as a fragrant memory dear old Arlington High. —Gottfrid Holmstrom ■ (The l tillaiutaminh tLruil ■ 1 — LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of 1926, of Arlington High School, Snohomish County, Washington, being, as we think, of sound and receptive minds and memories (the Faculty thinks otherwise) ana acting without compulsion, do hereby make, ordain, publish and declare this to be the Last Will and Testa- ment of said class, hereby revoking any and all other and formal wills by us made, in manner following, that is to say: FIRST: We do jointly and severally give, devise and bequeath: I.

Of the high school girls and boys. As they study, and worry in a strife. Seem to be the brighest— To grip the heart the tightest— Of all the joys and pleasures in man’s life. Our pride in graduation.

It was the wreck of the Hesperus, the dashing waves broke high. Why is this classroom crowded now? What is the stir in Rome? Within the Arlington High School, there is no place like home. Roll on!

H. Hallock issued his initial call for football material, fifty aspiring youths responded to his summons. Among these fifty boys there were seven lettermen from the State Championship team, who were to form the nucleus of another Arlington “Grid machine.” The lettermen who were in school were: Meyer, C. Preston, G. Preston, Sabo, Krauskoff, Montroy and Larson. As the season progressed, difficulties and obstacles were frequent to Coach Hallock. First, the veteran line of 1924 had to be replaced by green, inexperienced players. Secondly, the Arlington management found great dif- ficulty in arranging games, and as a result the team was obliged to play five games, all being with large, powerful teams. If Arlington can secure the services of Coach Hallock for at least another year, and we are admitted once more to the county conference, we are sure that we can be well represented, with the material left from this year’s team. The team’s record for 1925 is as follows: Oct. 2, Arlington 10, Alumni 7. Oct. 1 7, Whatcom High, 7, Arlington 6. Oct. 24, Port Angeles 18, Arlington 6. Nov. 6, Arlington 33, Puyallup 19.

He is a fullback and always played stel- lar ball in that position. His consistent line-plunging, interference running and his ability to back up the line were features of every game. Fred played his last game this year. Clarence Preston Jiggs” Clarence played a flashy game at half, and was equally good at kicking, passing and running. Like Geo. Wilson he is an excellent man on split bucks and off-tackle plays. Preston and Mey- er were Arlington’s Grange-Britton combination. George Preston George barked signals for the team and proved himself a good manager in tight places. He was always good for needed yardage. Ralph Montroy Red” “Red” showed up well as a brok- en field runner and at intercepting passes. “Red” was the life of the team keeping up its fighting spirit wher things looked dark. Lloyd Sather (Capt. Elect) Lloyd stepped into Fred Meyer's shoes at fulback. His career was cut short by a broken collar bone but he will be back to lead the team next year. Leslie Larson Deacon” This is Deacon’s second year on the team. He plays a good game at half and is a promising man for next year. Robert Palmer Dob Bob played with the team for his first time this year. He went in at halfback and played like a veteran. Bob follows his interference and goes off tackle like a seasoned back. Harry Krauskoff Fat Harry used his beef and brawm to good advantage at tackle. His bulk bolstered up the line considerably. Joe Sabo Swede” Swede changed from quarter to end and played his last year there. He was expert at getting down under punts and at spilling the opposing interfer- ence. In all his games he continually threw opposing backs for losses. Lester Loudenburg “Les” At guard position, Loudenburg’s hard-hitting, go-get-’em tactics spoiled many an opposing line buck. Jim Dunn Although diminutive, Jim played excellent ball at center and proved his worth against many veteran centers. John Wendell Jack” John played a fast, steady game at end. This is his first and last year on the team. Lyle Lingo Link Breaking up end runs was Lyle’s specialty. This is his first year and he helps form a strong nucleus for next year’s team. Oscar Eberhard “Eh” Although handicapped by sickness Eberhard played a strong game at tackle and end. Melvin Borseth “Doonya” Although only a freshman Borseth earned a permanent place at tackle where he played ball like a veteran. Carl Martin Swede” Carl played tackle where he did good work, making good use of his size in breaking the line. Arthur Smith Swede” Swede subbed at quarter this year. He showed good management and is a good prospect for the quarter position. Eugene Donohue Rastus” Rastus held down a guard position. He was always full of fight, going in- to all plays with both hands and feet. Gordon Reese Reese is a husky youngster who earned his letter at guard where he played a dependable game.

Arlington did not have a first team this year, only two veterans. Captain Joe Sabo and John Wendell being with us all season. The other men were green but made splendid showings. The men who played for the first time this year were Carl Martin, center; Hugh Ses- soms, forward; Art Nelson, forward; Bob Palmer, guard, and Paul Verd, guard.

More girls turned out this year than ever before, which shows the increas- ing interest in girls’ athletics and what the backing of the school means to the girls. , . The girls of the A. H. S. had an exciting game of baseball with Dar- rington in the spring of ’25. It was a hard-fought game and when it was end- ed Arlington was far in the lead. We also had some snappy interclass games. One was played between the Juniors and the rest of the school which turned out 11-12 in favor of the Juniors. We had no practice in track last year but Elizabeth Clapsadle went to the county meet and won the fifty and hundred yard dashes. In the fall of '25 we took up a new game called field-ball. No one knew much about it but we had a fast game between the upper and lower classmen, the score being a tie 5-5. Next year we expect tc have four interclass games in field ball. At the beginning of the basketball season the girls’ athletic program was changed from interscholastic games to a system of Sports Days. The Sports Day is a day set aside when girls from different schools meet and play together. There is no school rivalry but the girls play with girls they never knew before. It is a social day. Sports Day is a day to get acquainted and have a good time. Each school usually has a yell and a song to give at lunch to keep up the spirit of the day. The first one was a success considering that it was a new undertak- ing. We played basketball and the star team was picked. There were some good games played between classes this year. The Sophs, and Frosh had a fast game, each team showing skill, but when the whistle blew the Sophs led by one point. The score was 1 1-12. The Juniors lost to the Seniors. The Sophs also lost to the upper class making the Seniors champs of the school. We had more volley ball this year than in former years. The girls were divided into teams of six and played for the championship. The Orange, or Ebba Paulson’s team, came out first and Irma Shaw’s second. Eleven of our girls went to Seattle to a volley ball sports day at the U. of W. I hey all re- ported a good time. On March 26, 1926 a volley ball sports day was held on our athletic field. This was a great deal better than the first because the girls enjoyed it more. Ten of the A. H. S. girls received ribbons for being picked on the star team. Some of the girls played volley ball while others were playing baseball. This Sports Day was a success. A new point system was established this year. Five hundred points are required for an emblem. For the first five hundred points the girl receives a class numeral, the second five hundred a letter representing the school she is attending, the third a sofa pillow and the fourth a gold pin. There are a cer- tain number of points for each sport and each time a girl takes part she re- ceives points and so on until she has received five hundred. No point will be carried over to the next year. This point system seems to please every one and it is a great improvement over the former point system. This year was a success from every p� int of view. A great deal of this success, in fact all of it, is due to our coaches. Miss Harris and Miss Barclay. This year was all right but we hepe to have and will have a better year in girls’ athletics at the A. H. S. next year. Wilda Hickman. Hir tillaiuiainiah (Trait Girls’ Interclass Games I he interclass games were played December twenty-second and twenty- third. The first day a double header was played. In the initial contest the Sophs had to hustle to nose the Frosh out ten to nine. The game was well- played and was undecided until the final whistle. 1 he seniors didn t have such a hard time trouncing the juniors running up a substantial score against them. On the following day the championship game was played. The seniors took the game in a walk, scoring at will. C. Otin displayed skillful basket shooting for the seniors, scoring almost every attempt. Baseball 1925 Baseball for girls is one of the leading sports in the school. It is a grow- ing interest in the minds of the girls every year. To show this we can give an account of the number who turned out last year. Thirty girls turned out and showed good work. This year there is a slight increase. During the past year of baseball a hard ball was used. The girls played on regulation diamond which caused a great deal of excitement. The Junior girls had enough to make a team and challenged the rest of the girls to a game. The result being that they won. This game had keen rivalry and furnished excitement for those looking on. One game was played with another school last year. Darrington came to Arlington and gave us a good clean game. Arlington won by a close score. Both teams played well and much credit can be given them. The girls learned through baseball that there is more service in it than in almost any other game. —Marion Farrington ahr t tiUaiuiiuuiBh ilrail BASEBALL 1925 During the season Arlington lost but three games, one to Edmonds by forfeit. Everett won a hard fought contest from the blue and gold team on their home field, and the third loss was to Monroe, the game being played in a sea of mud. The season as a whole was a success. The A. H. S. scored some credit- able victories; one over the strong Bellingham Normal nine, and another over Snohomish, the conqueror of Everett. There were ony three new players with the team this year: Bob Palmer played third. Smith shortstop and Connacher earned his letter alternating with Kraetz behind the bat. 1925 LINEUP Catcher, Sam Kraetz; Pitchers, George Preston, Arthur Smith; First Base.

Granite Falls also suffered at the hands of the Blue and Gold tossers to the tune of thirteen to one. At Everett the next week the fellows got buck fever and dropped the game eight to one due to numerous errors. £hr tillaiuiumiah (Trail CElir Stilltuummiah «Trail TRACK 1925 Early in the season Arlington won a triangular meet with Snohomish and Burlington.

Earl Kraetz This scholastic year has been successful in every way, financially and otherwise. All sports and other enterprises have drawn crowds and made records for the school. The all-school play was decidedly a success. Up to the present time over $3100 has passed through the hands of the student officers. Many improvements have been made. The tennis courts have been fixed and another court has been added for girls’ athletics. A requisition system has also been introduced into the business routine which serves as a check on all expenditures. All business affairs have been handled smoothly and efficien- tly as have all questions arising before the student body. The students staged a sales campaign for the Curtis Publishing Company. This campaign made it possible for the students to earn prizes and resulted in a sum of money being added to the treasury. The membership dues were practically all paid and it is felt that every student worked in harmony to further the progress of the Associated Students. —George Starlund. Iljf Slillauiiamtnh Irati GIRLS’ LEAGUE The Girls’ League is growing more important every year and with the loyal support of each individual member it will surely remain as one of the im- portant organizations of our school. One of the big things accomplished by the League this year was the im- provements made in the rest-room. A fiist-aid kit was bought and a girl ap- pointed to take charge of the rest room every period of the day. A table, mir- ror and two chairs were purchased which completed the furnishings of that room. During a siege of mumps, vaccination and smallpox the rest-room was a friend indeed for girls who were taken ill during school hours. The girls cer- tainly have a right to feel proud of their rest-room, as it has been completely furnished by the Girls’ League with the exception of a few donations for which we feel very grateful. This year showed the beginning of the Big Sister movement. Next year this will be stressed more and naturally will improve as the years go by. The League’s first social event, this year, was the annual mixer, held Wednesday afternoon before Thanksgiving vacation. The boys and the fac- ulty were the honored guests. Each of the four classes put on a stunt, the prize, a box of candy, was given to the freshman class for the be t one. The mixer was a splendid success from every standpoint. The officers of the League are as follows: President, Catherine Otin; Vice-President, Irma Shaw; Treasurer, Christine Funk; Secretary, Cali Fornia. Class representatives are as follows: rreshmen, Inez Preston; Sopho- more, Bertha Hoidal; Junior, Fern Cohoon; Senior, Margaret Krauskoff.

This year has been a most successful year as the subjects taken up have been of a wholly scientific nature. Work has been done along the lines of physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, and many other general subjects re- lating to science.

The object of this organization is to establish good fellowship among the students interested in the pursuit of knowl- edge, to encourage scholarship by recognition of merit and to promote a good school citizenship. Character buliding being a basic aim of this organization, good school citizenship is a pre-requisite for eligibility to membership. Eligibility also de- pends upon the earning of points, according to a schedule, stated in the Con- stitution of the Society. For a major school service two points are given; for a minor school service one point is given. To be eligible to wear the one-bar pin during his second year, a student must have earned twenty-four points in his first year in school. To be eligible to wear the pin with two bars during his third year, a student must have earned fifty points by the end of his second year. To be eligible to wear the “Torch” during his fourth year, a student must have earned eighty points by the end of the third year. To come into per- manent possession of the Torch” a student must have earned one-hundred ten (110) points and be graduated by the fourth year, and not have earned less than ten points any one semester. The point system, it is thought, will be ver beneficial to the Arlington High School. It stimulates better scholarship by giving recognition for high scholastic standings. This system tends tc unify school spirit by uniting all those people working for the interests of the school. It brings together all school leaders into one organization working for the good of the school. The Honor Society unites the leaders of all organizations, giving everyone a common mo- tive—the betterment of the Arlington High School. —A. Novelle Nettles. £l?r tillaguamtal) (Trail A. H. S.

GLEE CLUB AND SEXTETTE One of the most interesting clubs in the High School is the Glee club. The girls’ club has been organized since 1923, giving one credit for two semesters of music, but just this year the boys have organized a club under the direction of Miss Noonan, music instructor of the High School. While the boys have not taken part in any activities, they have had good practice on quite a number of songs. The operetta, “Miss Caruthers Returns,” presented this year by the Girls’ Glee club, was something new and different than operettas previslously given. It was a musical comedy in two acts, strictly American, while nearly all operettas of other years have been Chinese or Japanese plays. This American play gave the girls a chance to express their talent in their natural way. The girls’ club also took part in the May festival this year, singing two selections. The girls sextette, also under the direction of Miss Noonan, has been very popular this year. Every Friday the seventh period being the time of prac- tice. The songs chosen to sing were more complicated than usual high school sextette selections. Among some of the songs was a book of Indian love songs by Cadman. The sextette has pleased audiences at different public perform- ances, singing at Lakewood, 7 rafton, Getchel and on several occasions at the high school. The Glee club grows in numbers every year and we hope it will be a per- manent organization in our high school to please us with music which is in- spiring to every one. Many thanks to Miss Noonan for her untiring efforts to make the club and sextette a success. The clubs in the future will improve under her direction. Elma Shannon.

It was organized with about eight members. At mid-year several dropped out but others joined to bring the total up to ten mem- bers. During the year the band has progressed a good deal. Their first appear- ance in public was during the baseball season. The fact that there was no regular instructor for the band, and considering the progress made, tends to show that there is sufficient musical interest in the school to make a real suc- cess of the band in future years.

Formerly Oriental plays have been given, so this year the girls showed their originality in choosing an American musical comedy. In it were many snappy songs, dialogues and dances. The complications were made and unraveled by Miss Thyrza Caruthers, cleverly played by Mable Bloxham, when she returns from a trip abroad to find out for herself just how her money is being used by Mrs. Jon.?s (Margarett Krauskoff) who is matron of an Art Club for girls. Thyrza secures a position in the club as Mary, a maid, and while in this role she makes friends with all the girls and learns that they are hard working girls, and discovers that Mrs. Jones has used the money to buy clothes for her selfish niece, Desdemona (Ruth Blacker) also that Desdemona is planning to elope with a man who thinks she is an heiress. She undermines Desdemona’s plan to elope, and saves her from a very hazardous plight in which she seems guilty of stealing her aunt’s money. Then Thyrza tells who she is. forgives Mrs. Jones, and offers Des- demona another chance. She promises to help the girls, who because of her kindness and fairness have learned to love her, in their various arts. Much of the success of the play was due to Miss Noonan, the director, and the orchestra, which played several numbers. —Louise Dunn. ■ — — iElir t tilliuuiumiah JErail THE CHARM SCHOOL” A comedy in three acts was presented on the I 8th and 19th of Decem- ber by a cast selected from the entire student body. The story intorduces five young bachelors domiciled on the top floor of an old-fashioned New York house. Howard Palmer, in the role of Austin Bevens, an automobile salesman with ideas; David MacKenzie, a young law student, was portrayed by Vernon Scott; Wallace Grewell as George Boyd, an expert accountant; and the Simpkins twins, Jim and Tim played by Robert Palmer and Arthur Nelson. Hard times are the order, due to David’s laziness, George’s loss of his job, cutting off of the twins’ allowance and Beven’s immediate failure to marry an heiress. Every cloud has a silver lining.” Homer Johns, a lawyer, por- trayed by Arthur Hardy, brings the ray of sunshine into the now gloomy at- mosphere, when he discloses that Beven’s aunt, having recently died, has left him a school for girls of some size and value. However, Johns holds a heavy mortgage on the place but offers to take the institution for cash consideration, much to the relief of the other fellows. Bevens astonishes them by refusing to part with his new inheritance; he declares his intention of taking the school and teaching the young ladies charm. Finally Johns agrees not to foreclose the mort- gage upon two conditions: First, that none of the girls should fall in love with Bevens, and that Miss Hays, who proves to be Johns’ divorced wife, be re- tained as second in command. Austin becomes principal. His boy friends receive positions as teachers. Catherine Otin as Miss Hays continues in her position; Miss Curtis, played by Meryl Van Iderstine, remains as assistant to Miss Hays and general chaperon of the Senior class. The path proves rocky because—Margarette Botten, as Elsie Benedotti, John’s niece and president of the Senior class, falls in love with Bevens, who earnestly resists her advances. George proves a jealous and unmanageable teacher as he has loved Elsie a long time. Irene Lindquist as Sally Boyd is the fun of the school, leading the twins a merry life. Other members of the Senior class and interested candidates for “Charm” are Muriel Doughty, played by Margorie Scott; Ethel Spelvin, by Evelyn Stout; Alix Mercier, by Bessie Cyran; Lillian Stafford, by Ebba Paulson; Madge Kent, by Cali Fornia, and Charlotte Gray by Helen Grznt. Songs and dances were featured. Poor Dave proves the butt of their many jokes. In desperation Elsie runs away from the school so that she may forget that Austin has spurned her love. The school is in an uproar. Austin and George take up separate trails in an endeavor to find Elsie. Bevens is successful, bringing Elsie back only after a thrilling ride in a horse and buggy—this is the climax of the comedy. Disaster awaits their return as Austin has broken his contract. Johns forecloses, puts Miss Hays in command. In the end Elsie, with her high powered charms, overcomes Austin’s forced indifference to her love, and with this exit peace and harmony once more prevail. The production, advertised as an “All-school” play was admirably coached and directed by Miss Alice Spriesterbach. Stage direction was under supervision of Le Roy Ralts, Lawrence Marr, Arthur Smith, and Fred Verd. Properties were from the Moll Hardware Co. Advertising was in charge of Fred Mahoney and Mae Skillingstad. (Tljr t tiUaiuuimiBh (Trail iEhr Sttllaguamiah Jruil SENIOR PLAY The annual Senior play this year which was the three-act comedy “Noth- ing but the Truth” was presented by the class of “26 in the high school audi- torium on March 27th and 28th. The story involved was that of a young man who made a ten thousand dollar bet that he could tell the absolute truth for twenty-four hours. The trouble he got into with his partners, his friends, and his financee made the play the clever, amusing comedy that it was. Every member of the cast did especially well, performing his part in a most creditable manner. John Wendell as Bob Bennett, the hero of the play, who made a bet to tell the truth for twenty-four hours, played his part to perfection, proving to be an ideal lover. Lena Hollingsworth who played opposite Bob Bennett, in the role of Gwendolyn Ralstron was charming and altogethei delightful as leading lady. Sam Kraetz’s portrayal of E. M. Ralstron, a prominent New York broker, was extremely realistic, while Viva Ferrell as his devoted but ex- acting and jealous wife added much to the spice of the comedy. Carl Olson who cleverly played the part of Bishop Doran proved ex- ceedingly amusing in his portrayal of the pious, childish old bishop. Paul Verd, as Dick Donnelly, the business partner of E. M. Ralston played a good part as a modern stock salesman. Elma Shannon was both charming and capable as Ethel Clark, one of Gwendolyn’s most intimate friends. George Starlund played the part admirably of Clarence Van Dusen, the shrewd, sly crook who caused the entanglement of the plot. Irene Lindquist and June Marsh in the parts of Mable and Sable Jack- son, two modern flappers were very dramatic figures. Luella Shequin as Martha, the coy French maid, played the part in a very satisfactory manner. Too much credit can not be given Miss Spriesterbach, who, as the dir- ector of the play devoted her untiring efforts toward making it a success. The class wishes to also thank Mr. Moll for his liberal donations, as well as the orchestra for the pleasing numbers rendered between acts. A great deal of credit is due the various committees and multigraph students who did much toward making the play the success that it was. = Otillaguantiah Irati . i = FROSH MIXER The Freshman Mixer was the first social event of the season, taking place October 2nd. A large number of freshmen were led into the gym and forced to undergo various painful and humiliating experiences, much to the amusement of the onlookers. After every frosh had become a full-fledged member of the A. H. S., refreshments were served and the rest of the evening was spent in dancing. FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE PARTY The Freshman-Sophomore party this year was one of the best and most successful that has ever been held. The party was given in honor of the Sopho- mores and Football boys. The gymnasium was artistically and appropriately decorated in the Sophomore class colors of coral and white. The early part of the evening was spent in various contests and games, in which the speed and quick wit of the Sophomores were matched against those of the Freshmen. Appropriate prizes were awarded the winners of these con- tests. Later in the evening dancing was enjoyed by all those present, after which refreshments were served. I he Freshmen thus demonstrated their hospitable spirit by giving such a delightful and entertaining party. —Margaret Nettles. JUNIOR PROM The sixth Junior Prom given by the High School is conceded to be the prettiest, most elaborate, ever given. Held April 9th, the Prom was a fit end- ing for the High School social season. It was attended by a goodly number of patrons, alumni, and students who proclaimed it a success in every feature. Probably the greatest feature of the Prom was its decorations. Streamers of blue and orange, the Senior colors, drooped from a large blue and orange basket which hung in the center of the hall. The walls beneath the streamers were clustered with cedar boughs. The orchestra stand was decorated with unique designs in the appropriate colors. The enjoyment of the evening was added to greatly by the refreshments which were served. During the evening, the Civic Club served chicken dinner and ice cream in the dining room above the hall, while the punch committee was on hand with plenty of ice-cold punch to pep up the dancers. SALES PARTY One day in early fall Mr. Higgins of the Curtis Publishing Co. arrived. We were all familiar with him and foresaw a pleasant time. Mr. Higgins is an excellent speaker and knows more jokes than a dozen ordinary men. The Sales Contest followed which was won by the greens. Consequently the two losing sides had to give the greens a party which was held Friday, October 30th. A lively program had been prepared and the festivities started at 7:30. As each guest entered the door of the gym his physiognomy was appropriately $hr frtilliuuiamiBli {Trail decorated with a green nose or black eye. During the evening there were many contests between the three clubs and the program committee succeeded in making a fool of everyone. The party fin- ally wound up with lots of cider and doughnuts. FOOTBALL BANQUET I he annual football banquet was given to the squad by the Men’s Club on Tuesday evening, December 8th. Almost all of the football boys attended along with quite a number of alumni and business men. After the dinner Dr. Mose, who was toastmaster, called on some of the men present for talks, among whom were Supt. Martin, Prin. Bowman, Einar Botten, W. H. Verd, and Clarence Preston. During the evening the boys were entertained by the High School orchestra. I'he evening was brought to a close with a talk from Coach Hallock and the awarding of the letters. —Gordon Connacher. iEfyr $ttllaiuiamiBh 2rail SEPTEMBER 3— Back to old alma matre.
