A. In the town hall of a Massachusetts village hangs a huge paint¬ ing, copies of which have been circulated all over the world. It pictures a battlefield, with three figures advancing belligerently in the foreground. In the center, an old man, with gray hair flying, another of middle age, with a blood-stained bandage about his head, while a third, only a boy, is vigorously beating a drum,— the three marching resolutely side by side with never a backward glance nor a faltering footstep. And under it the title, “The Spirit of ’76.” It is a gripping picture, and one cannot help setting his jaw a little harder as he looks at it, and registering a stern determination to reflect the same spirit of loyalty and courage if opportunity offers. The Spirit of W. W. A. is not a martial spirit, but it has much i A m common with that of these three heroes. “What,” we ruminated, as we gazed at this picture, “is the dominant characteristic, the T most outstanding virtue portrayed here?” Probably “Loyalty,”— and the grim determination to sacrifice life itself in the effort to advance the interests of their country. And if we were to attempt to describe the Spirit of W. W. A. in a word, it would be “Loyalty.” Not a selfish worship of the work of our own hands, but an earnest determination to advance the interests of God’s institution, established and maintained through sacrifice and faith. And the Spirit of W. W. A. includes not only loyalty to our school, but to our parents, to our religion, and to our nation. And let us never forget that the finest expression of loyalty to any organization or power is in quiet support of its standards and obedience to its laws. One’s patriotism to this government is not measured by his lung power in “rah-rah-ing” the national anthem nor in his vociferous approval of patriotic sentiments expressed at Fourth-of-July orations. It is usually in direct proportion to his willingness to sacrifice his own selfish interests when they conflict with the welfare of the group. A cartoon circulated at the time our country entered the world war is to the point. A pair of huge balances is weighing the sentiments of men. On one side are a dozen or more men, wildly waving their arms and throwing their hats into the air. On the other side, much overbalancing this group, stood a lone figure in the uniform of his country, quiet and erect. Underneath was the one word, “Patriotism.” Whatever our beliefs may be as to the right or wrong of war, we must concede that the cartoonist drew the contrast accurately. Our country needs other expressions of loyalty in days of peace quite as much as it does the “Spirit of ’76” in time of national disturbance. Our school needs the “Spirit of W. W. A.” as truly as our country needs the “Spirit of ’76.” The essential elements of the two are identical,—a willingness to sacrifice in behalf of others, and a broad conception of our duties in the presence of need. The majority of our students sense this spirit soon after joining our family, and express it in a multitude of ways during their stay. Whether it be in faithfully performing the duities of elective offices, or in participating in field days, or loyally observing the laws of the institution, or in upholding high intellectual standards,—we can depend on the loyal student to uphold the “Spirit of W. W. A.’” Claud A. Shull. Page ten QUaaaea Seniors Juniors Sophomores Freshmen Seventh and Eighth Grades Page twelve Class President JOHN PETERSON.

Entire Class Page eighteen CLASS HISTORY Should you ask me whence these histories, Whence these legends and traditions, With the happy pranks of childhood With the sunny days of manhood, With their frequent repetitions. I should answer, I should tell you From the home life and the school life, From the lips of faithful mothers From the duties and the pleasures Spent together here all winter, Came these words and I repeat them. From the northern shores of Bremerton, From the northern lakes and rivers, Came to us one straight and manly Came to us John Peterson. From a high school year in Sumner, To our school upon the hill, Where for three school years he studied, Worked and labored with a will. Next there comes a maiden fair, With dancing eyes, and golden hair, Delights in studies, work or fun. You know Genevieve; she’s the one. From the cold Canadian country, From the land of ice and snow, Came a laddie and a maiden Sturdy Englishmen you know. Irene Sears and Harold Jewkes, Exempt always from rebukes, Here for studies that’s the thing, And to say, “Long live the King.” From the city of Tacoma, From the town of lumber fame, Students once began a-comin’ And they came and came and came. Came the tall ones and the short ones, Came the boys and came the girls. Came one Dorothy who does wonders, As her paintbrush gaily twirls. Came Maritta with her gift All common things to beauty lift, With great power of her magic pen Strongest influence does she lend. Came a jolly happy student, With a heart brimful of fun, Sure enough you know it’s Glenna, She can keep one on the run. Tacoma claims another daughter, Though no poet claim I to be. Yet there seems no way around it, The only word that rhymes is “me.” O ' er the mountains from our college, To this happy school of ours, Came another lad among us, Kenneth with his selling powers. From the southland o’er the main. From the land of oyster fame, Came a dark-eyed slender beauty, With a love for every duty. Came this modest little Feme, Came she here to live and learn. From a city of the northland, On the shores of Puget Sound, Came to us one tall and noble, Archie in whose life is found Traits of character most sound. Then from Sumner—quite a town, Comes a lad of some renown, Full of wit, yet thoughtful too, In Earl we find a friend most true. Filled with awe were all the Seniors As they heard the gladsome news, That Christine whose grades were highest, Should receive the honors due. O’er the drive of Chuckanut, Comes a lad of stature tall, Spending all four years among us, Milton—right on time each fall. Then from Auburn comes a lad, Who has won scholastic fame, By his strong determined effort Holland Rogers is his name. And from Seattle then we find, A student with a leader’s mind. In sport and fun, in work or play, You’ll find Harold leads the way. From the trail of Oregon, Where the air with rose is laden, Came a youth who’s very tall, And a laughing pink-cheeked maiden, Donald with a heart sincere, Mabel with a smile for all. Two more names must now be added, Two more scholars of renown, “Magnet’s” business they have guided. Things go right when they’re around. Sure you know them, Charles and Arthur, For them success is not much farther. Now I’ve told you of our numbers, Told you of their work and fame, Told you of their talents many— Where they’ll go, and whence they came. Thus these happy days are ended, But our life work’s just begun, Onward to our aim we’re pressing, Ever onward, one by one. Marguerite Violet Cox, ’27. Page nineteen CLASS POEM Our guiding star leads upward, And may it lead afar, While we through work are plodding, With eyes upon that star. While wisely seeking knowledge Through knowledge getting wise, Forever pressing onward And striving for God’s prize. Although we love our schoolmates Ambition’s goal on high Is challenging our courage To work until we die. The teachers in their kindness Have helped us on our way; Now we are loath to leave them On this Commencement Day. We aim to be of service To God and fellowman, To do our duty humbly In ev’ry way we can. Who would be great in heaven A servant here must be, With truth upon his standard Through all eternity. All those who serve with pleasure Shall twice reap their reward, On earth, a life of virtue, In heav’n, God’s great regard. In struggling for perfection No idle hours we’ll spend; With God as our great Helper We’ll work until the end. Olive Maritta Hunt ’27 Page twenty CLASS SONG Oh, here’s to a school that appeals to the heart, And it stands on a beautiful hill, Each schoolmate we love, and our teachers so true Ev’ry heart with deep gratitude fill. Four years in thy classrooms have taught us some things Which through life we shall never forget, And as we continue to work toward our goal We will cherish the friends we have met. So lead us, dear Savior, as upward we climb Toward great heights which to us are unknown, That when Thou dost come at that great judgment day Thou wilt claim each of us as Thine own. Chorus We leave thee, still loving thee, school on the hill, We regret we no longer can stay; But loud we will praise thee and scatter thy fame, Dear old W. W. A. Olive Maritta Hunt ’27 PRESID ENT’S ADDRESS Dear Parents, Board Members, Faculty, Fellow Students, and Friends: It is with pride and happiness that we, the Senior class of Western Washington Academy, are gathered here on this memor¬ able night of our lives. But mingled with our emotions of pride and happiness there is also a feeling of lingering sadness which, though undefinable, yet exists on all occasions like this. Pride and happiness, because the prize for which we have struggled is now ours. Sadness because we realize that our sojurn here is almost ended, and we must leave our schoolmates, and the teachers whom we have learned to love and who have been a source of inspiration to spur us on to a nobler life. Perhaps we may never meet again on this earth, but we are made very happy in the thought that if we faithfully follow our great Example and live according to His will, we will spend eternity together in that land where none shall ever say “Good bye!” We have chosen as our motto “Our Guiding Star Leads Upward,” with the thought that our guiding star should be that great Example, Jesus Christ. May the principles of character here guide us in the right channels and bear fruit as we pursue our life’s journey. Only as we keep our eye on that Star can this be possible. As the North Star points out the way for ships on the ocean, so we will look to our Star to point out to us the way on life’s stormy sea. As we leave this school, which will always linger in our mem¬ ories, and come in contact with the stern realities of life, with its struggles, trials, temptations, defeats, and victories, then we will realize fully what this motto means to us. Then we will be thankful for havin g had the opportunity of attending Western Washington 1 “ Academy. We have completed one step in the preparation of a life of A service in God’s vineyard. It is good to feel that we are a necessary V part of the Divine plan, and that every one of us, no matter how J humble of origin, is placed upon this earth in a particular sphere, 1 for a definite purpose with an individual mission that no one but ourselves can perform. We know that God holds our destinies in the hollow of His hand and shapes our paths according to His own all-wise design. Tonight we dedicate ourselves to a life of “Service.” Our calling is sacred. Our path is safe, whatever it may be, for we are assured of divine leading as we step forth from the happy environment which has surrounded us at this Christian school. John Peterson, ’27. Page twenty-one VALEDICTORY This is the day. Our last day in the Academy. The day we have been looking forward to ever since we first appeared for matricula¬ tion four years ago. We have come to the forks of the road. For some time our paths have run parallel. They have been united in a broad road that has been leading us over Hills of Experience. Just now we have reached the Half-way House. Here we stop to rest before climbing farther. As our ways divide, we pause to say farewell. We cannot help looking back over the well-worn path which we have traversed. Now all its obstacles seem dim. Those which were hardest to surmount were really steps chiseled out of the rocks which helped us upward. At times the way seem ed hard and long; but here we are. We have reached our last day in academic training. A swelling of pride and a sinking of heart tells me so. But shall we stop here? Ah! no. We have merely reached the threshold and are about to assume heavier responsibilities which life holds. The call of the hour is for service and there is a sacred obligation resting upon us to respond. The appeal of suffering humanity should make the strongest of all demands upon us. Dear Parents: To you we owe most. But for your sacrifices we would not have had the privilege of spending our school life at j Western Washington Academy. But for your unselfishness and 7 love, most of us would not be graduating from a Christian school. But for your prayers, and your confidence in our making good, the untiring encouragement which you have continually expressed when the miles separated us, we might have fallen out by the way before this goal had been reached. May God continue to answer your prayers and richly reward your labors. Members of the Board: We know something of the long hours that you have spent in patiently wrestling with the many perplex¬ ities and problems connected with the development and maintenance of our school. It is by your untiring efforts that it has been possible to have such a well-equipped institution where we might come to fit ourselves for God’s work. Members of the Board—we do appreciate your faithful, unselfish efforts in our behalf. To the Members of the Faculty: It is chiefly because of you that we have reached this Half-way House. Your prayers have accomplished much, but the influence of your lives, far more. No higher tribute can we give than to say, “You have lived up to your ideals.” Our hearts are bound to yours by cords of friend¬ ship and love. Though these cords may seem to lengthen as distance separates us from you, their strength will increase. To our Friends: We express appreciation for the interest that you have taken in our welfare, as evidenced not only by your presence here tonight, but all along the way. In that word, friend, are bound the elements of loyalty, service, and love. You have given us all these. It was Emerson who said “My friends have come to me unsought; the great God gave them to me.” Thus we feel that it was not by chance that we met you. Dear Students: Without doubt the hardest part of the road lies before you. There will be signs promising short-cuts to the summit. Heed them not. Press on, believing the wise man’s words, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom.” To you, Juniors, especially, we address our parting words. To¬ morrow you step into our places and pick up the burdens that we lay down. Your lives will be factors in upholding the influence and reputation of our Academy. Where we have failed, we know that you will succeed. Our lives have been far from perfect—but where we have left crooked paths—we beg of you to straighten them. And now, Dear Classmates: We too must say farewell. A few more hours and we shall be separated. It is with sadness that we part. It is hard to say farewell to this school and to the faculty and friends here who have come to mean so much to us; but if there were nothing beyond to beckon us, if we could feel no inner urge to action, if we could hear no voice bidding us to come and take up our burdens, it would be sadder still. Although we are reluctant to leave, we are desirous to better prepare ourselves for service. For four years we have been associated with one another and we have many pleasant memories to carry away with us. Whether we shall ever meet on this earth again, we do not know. And now as we are about to enter our various schools of preparation for larger activity, may our Heavenly Father guide us, may we ever work for Him and prove true and faithful to our aim—To be of Service. Christine Fredrickson, ’ 27 . Page twenty-two As the evening hours of this day come to a close, and we are reminded that only a few brief moments of school remain, we find ourselves confronted with new and strange sensations. Try as we may to avoid them, they will not leave us. Through all the hap¬ piness over the successful completion of our four years of academic quest for knowledge we are experiencing a touch of sadness and home-sickness at the thought of leaving these familiar halls and classrooms, and more than all else of separating from the friends with whom we have associated so long. We think of the kind advice and patient help of the teachers. We think of the high standards of Christian living which have been held up before us. These things will not soon depart. We have become so attached to this place that we feel as though we were leaving a stronghold for character building, and are going out where we shall need more than common strength to cope with the problems of life. Dear Parents, Board Members, Faculty, Fellow Students, and Friends: We extend our heartiest welcome to you all. We are inspired by your presence, not only because you thus show an interest in us, but also because your lives are a convincing testi¬ mony to us of the power of God to give victory to those who trust Him. Many of us have been able to continue our school work thus far only as a result of your prayers. We thank you from the depths of our hearts for your efforts to hasten our progress, but we shall not depend alone on words TORY which we speak tonight to express our gratitude, for we well realize that actions speak louder than words. We trust that the future days will prove our appreciation for your sacrifices as we give our lives to God ' s work in the earth. We want to serve others, not for self-profit, but because we love God and man. This, we hope will repay the untiring effort of the faithful teachers and bo ard members, and the sacrifices of our parents. Like an oasis in the desert, this academy has afforded us a refuge from the burning sand and anguishing thirst of worldly pursuit. Our memories are filled with occasions of helpful associa¬ tion here which have brought to us a joyful Christian experience. Often as the temptations and trials confront us we shall be reminded of the Christian armor to which we have been pointed in these class-rooms. We want ever to keep before us the fact that it shall profit a man nothing if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul. Teachers, we want you to know that we have appreciated your kindly help and instruction, and though we look forward with pleasant anticipation to our college work, we sincere¬ ly regret that we must now leave this dear school. We are of good courage, and with the closing of this day we pledge anew our allegiance to God and to His work, and in the strength of Him who knows no failure we will conquer the powers of darkness, and give to the world the knowledge of a soon¬ coming Savior. Again we welcome you all, and thank you for your presence here tonight.

But fortune smiled kindly on us and 1)—id something for which we are all thankful. She caused our paths from E—ast, West, North, and South to converge to this school which develops M—entally, Spiritually and Physically, and where, while working hard, —et a class of live wires like ourselves, manage to have lots of fun! 7v Page twenty-six J—UNIORS—Watch us win! We are now climbing the first rungs of the ladder U—pward; each one intending to advance until he reaches the top. We are N—ot hopeless. Already signs of budding genius are manifested I —n three girls who are always at the very top of the Honor Roll. O—thers of us intend to go on and up, each in his chosen profession. R—eal talent for art, music, expression and stenographic skill is S—hown by our Junior girls; while the boys excel in Math, and History. ()—ur talents are varied, each displaying his individual genius, each F—illing his own little niche. Needless to say, we are proud of one another. 1 is the best president a class ever had. 9 can play musical instruments and together could make quite an orchestra 2—plus thirty-five is the enrollment of our calls, and 7 days a week we’re loyal to our school! N—ow we must not stop here. We have only just told enough to rouse your I —nterest, haven’t we? In our class we have representatives of many lines. C—arpnters, mechanics, farmers and firemen,—striving to advance and E—ndeavoring with dauntless courage to reach a worthy goal. J —ust a few more words about ourselves. We have chosen the following ()—fficers: Donald Crow for President, and for Vice-president L —ittle Delta Hulse; with Blanche Pitts for our Secretary, and L— ouis Gilbert as Treasurer. Then we will mention last, but Y—et not least, Warren Halverson, who is our Sergeant at Arms F—ive more years and we will have finished college. Five more rungs O—f the Ladder will be beneath our feet—a good start for success in L —ife. May we be worthy of the pride of cur parents who always K—new we would “make good.” We will then be ready to enter into S—ervice for Him, whom we love and delight to serve. Louis B. Gilbert ’28 THE SOPHOMORE CLASS Spring is here and summer is coming, and with it, the increasing duties of a fast-ending school year. Not only the merry voices of Seniors and Juniors are heard, making the tasks lighter, but Sophomores too are mingled here and there, doing their cheerful part. Now let us walk around a bit, and get a closer view of things. As we pass through the kitchen and bakery we find sophomores serving and baking. Later on as we pass the business office we may see one of our number busy there. You have surely heard about our school song—by the way, I hear someone humming it over there. Well, it was a sophomore who arranged the music, and was chosen to play each contestant’s song in the school song contest. Look out, here comes the school truck around the corner, driven by a sophomore. There, he stopped right in front of the shop with his load of lumber. Here comes another member of our class to help unload. As we get near the door we see more workers inside, among whom are more sophomores. Yes, you were right when you expressed the sophomores’ individual aim as not only “Service”, but, “Living so that those who know us, but do not know Christ, will want to know Him because they know us.” Howard Finke ’29 Page twenty-seven THE FRESHMAN CLASS Yes, we are freshmen, and like all freshmen, we are “green.” But you know green things always grow, and we are growing. Five of us are members of the Academy Band, half of the baking class consists of freshmen, and a good share of the girls that wash the morning dishes are of our number. One of our members, a boy, has succeeded in keeping at the head of the Honor Roll all year, having all A’s. You may be surprised some day to know us, not as green little “freshie” but as missionaries, doctors, nurses, stenographers, musicians, and college professors. We are on the basement floor now and we have three long flights of stairs yet to climb before we reach the top floor of the temple of knowledge. We feel a great awe for the Seniors because we know that they are so much farther advanced than we are and we feel quite insignificant while in their presence. But really I believe that they envy us a little, for we can be at W. W. A. for three more years. We are very proud of our class, for we expect the class of ’30 to be the largest and most promising class ever graduated from W. W. A. We are growing; just watch us! May Libby ’30 Page twenty-eight THE SEVENTH AN The seventh and eighth grades, though few in number, play just as important a part in school life at W. W. A. as the more conspicuous classes. Down in the little room (No. 3) in the southwest corner of the building you may see them as busy as bees. Twenty-two heads are bowed over their books. When our teacher Mrs. Nelson, calls the eighth grade Bible class, fourteen pairs of bright eyes are turned immediately toward her, eager to recite the lesson which is so interesting. We are looking forward anxiously to that day when our diplomas will give us the pleasure of being “green freshies.” We } EIGHTH GRADES will be more glad because we shall be Seniors some day. Although we are at the bottom of the ladder now, we determine to climb to the top, and fill responsible positions in the Master’s vineyard. We are indeed very grateful to Professor Shull for granting us the privilege of enjoying the advantages of meeting in the administration building. It is a great improvement over our previous quarters. The seventh and eighth grades are a group of lively boys and girls reaching up and out for the nobler things gained by those who earnestly seek for them. Edith M. Walch, ’31. Page twenty-nine STl II )ENT ASSOCIATK)N The success of a club or organization depends to a great extent upon the co-operation and unity of the minds and hearts of its members. Our Association has been composed of about one hundred seventy-five loyal and enthusiastic members who have been the means of making it a success. A feeling of true loyalty and a spirit of, “Do it the best and make it the biggest” has been very evident in our school. The purpose of the Student Association of Western Wash¬ ington Academy has been to foster and develop this spirit in the entire student body and faculty. I believe the Association has done justice to the year ’26 and ’27 in its purpose to the school. The achievements of the organization are worthy of mention because of their value to the institution and the experience given to each member. The departments of the Association have functioned harmon¬ iously and successfully, finishing every task they began with an “Over the Top” motto. The executive body has tried to place and keep before the student body, the very highest ideals of Christianity, Culture Leadership and Brotherly Love. I am sure that as the students leave school this year they will have been impressed with the benefits from the school derived through the Student Association. Harold Rudolph, ’27, President .

Hard examinations, pleasant diversions, and strenuous work soon become memories only. Even mathematics and history, the hardest trials of more than one, fade into the distant past. This year of 1926 and ’27 has afforded us a multitude of memories. Listen, while I tell you about some of them. Ah, first on the list do you remember that wonderful moon¬ light hike we took down by White River and after arriving there how we toasted marshmallows and baked potatoes? The hour to return to the dormitories came only too soon. Oh, yes, and remember that time when a campaign was launched for getting “subs” for THE MAGNET. We had two | sides, the Reds and the Bluwhites, and the Bluwhites won! Then came the day for the reward when the Reds entertained at 1 Grange Hall. How we played games, marched, and ate to our hearts’ content! The day the Seniors organized—and picnics and parties that followed! We remember the day the Juniors organized, the excite¬ ment of electing officers, the class picnic, and Junior-Senior y activities, what fun it was boating on Puget Sound, eating a camp¬ fire dinner, and playing games. Then the “Campus Days” we had. How w c did absorb the sunshine! The excellent and annual feature of our school year came at the “Good English Week,” and we won’t forget the inter¬ esting English I, II, III programs in chapel, either. How exciting our Student Association meetings were, especially when there was a filibuster in the house! The Knights of Knowledge Club; would you like to know about this organization? It was a club composed of members from the three English classes. Others could become members only by special initiation. This was the club that held those secret meetings where such interesting and unique programs were given every other Saturday evening about 6:45. When the Commercial and Kiwanis Clubs were our guests at a banquet given in the dining room, space could not be found for all of us in there with them, but we enjoyed meeting our friends very much. Oh, that “Peppy” school song contest! How we all worked to get a good, loyal song for W. W. A. and after a month of hard work—WE GOT IT! There were many programs given by the Expression Class on Saturday evenings in the chapel. And they also made trips to Seattle, Tacoma, Bellingham, and elsewhere. The music recitals were so restful and entertaining. Missionary Volunteer meetings and Chapel exercises are re¬ miniscences that will not soon be forgotten. They served to bind together the school and the students, and all who boost the school spirit are sure to be boosters for these activities. Many of the indelible memories and priceless associations of the school life are crowded into the last few weeks. Even the rush of examinations, notebooks, and committee meetings cannot push out the interesting things that come. The annual school picnic was the anticipated feature of the entire year. Our gleeful ride to the selected picnic grounds, exciting baseball games, and other fun are all imprinted in our memories. Oh, how good the baked beans, pota¬ to salad, sandwiches, and other things tasted! Then the return to school at the end of a “Perfect Day,” tired yet intensely satisfied. These are only a few of the many student activities at W. W. A. Academic life is not without its humor. As one views the successive steps from matriculation to graduation, he keenly appre¬ ciates the backward look because of the varying mental attitudes he held toward events of school routine. If the process from freshman to Senior does not seem to fit all, just remember that it is a com¬ posite picture not designed to represent any particular individual. Wilma Johnson, ’28.
