But it pays, for Marie has earned her entire way through three and one-half years of schooling at Auburn Academy. Her bugbear is Spanish. Alaska can well be proud to claim Clyde Smith as her son. We don’t see how Auburn can get along without him next year. He is a first-rate fisherman, class-mate, friend, and an all-round fellow. Gladdy is a secretary plus, and she must be a good one. She has officiated in this capacity for the Girls’ Club, Senior Class, and is typist on the Annual staff. Miss Clark is act ive and has a good time in life. What can we say about Mary Nakabayashi? She is so quiet and modest. We do know that we like her, and that she is very fond of her wee twin nieces. Can you blame her? So are we. Our faithful second-floor monitor is Wilma who comes from Bellingham, the tulip city. She says her object of hate is physics, and her greatest failing is to get the stove too hot when frying eggs. Anyway she never failed in classes, so now she’s valedictorian of our class. She is known for her readings and the friendship existing between her and Marie. This young miss is responsible for our interesting M. V. programs the second semester. Guess who—Gracie, of course. That tall, dignified girl? Why, that’s Eunice Cartwright. She works in the office, and sees that we all have a good breakfast. Her hobbies are many and varied. When she has time, she likes to read, write shorthand, and sew. Harold Comer came to join our class just in time. We remember him for his hearty laugh and the pranks he plays on his roommate. E. C. AND W. G. Sixteen

Who We cAre This is Bernice Swigart’s first year at Auburn Academy, and she says she likes it. She plays the clarinet in our orchestra. We have decided it must be her walk to and from school every day that keeps her thin. Let’s go walk¬ ing, girls! Everyone calls her Tiny” ’cause she is, but her real name is Virginia. She hails from Mt. Vernon, which is noted for its Carnation milk. Her hobby is drawing. Hi! Skinny, isn’t it time for the bell? Skinny is none other than James Wood, better known as the chap with a throat that just doesn’t get tired or melodious. His was the honor of being class salutatorian. Someone who likes to iron shirts in the laundry and hates to be beat, is Bernice Ebel. Her hobby is arguing with and rearing” her roommate. Her ambition is to be a nurse. Always ready for any task that comes along, Michie is a busy girl. She’s oh, so small, and has deep brown eyes. She likes to sew, but we like to hear her play the piano. Doris is our Vancouver Miss and her father is a U. S. Immigration officer. After being at Auburn Academy for four years, she has evidently not learned the art of cooking macaroni. On the Government Class trip to Seattle she didn’t put even the merest grain of salt in it! Howard Neely is our farmer boy. He faithfully milks the cows twice a day and feeds the chickens—except when social duties call. He says he is going to be a famous dentist some day. We all appreciate his zeal in getting 93 subscriptions to our annual. If you want to know someone who finds it impossible to contain herself and who says, Say, listen”, to Mr. Beane in Spanish class, meet Mary Rostron. Her most common indulgence is laughing at Wynema and Viviene. Dorothy Pierson is another one of our village seniors. She has attended Auburn four years. The measles threatened her graduation, but she is finishing in spite of them. Full of pep and vim is Winnie. She’s doing her part on the staff and as a monitor. Bicycling is her failing. She plans on college next fall. Lucky girl. You don’t know Wilbur Whitney? That’s the boy who blushed so hard when the floor suddenly interrupted him on his downward trend one day as he entered Spanish class. His hobby is talking out loud in classes, and his great delight is in working physics experiments. Evelyn is i n haste to return to her home in Hawaii, so she has made her high school course in three years, with the aid of summer school. We predict a happy future for her in the land of pineapples and summer clothes. An industrious maid is Marie, always working and wanting more work. Fifteen
