i Cl l iLCS Clam Hirfory The history of the Class of '29 is one that is full of interesting dates. achievements, blue slips and what not. Only four years before this one, 103 very green and very fright- ened Freshmen crept into the halls of E. H. S. After assuming their places in the roll-rooms, they settled down to investigate the wonders of a real high school, with its numerous bells ringing, its thundering herds dashing down th: hill br-twefn classes, and its strange teachers. After what seemed many weary weeks, these Freshmen chose as their leader. Eldon Stout. As this group was a very hard one to manage, we el'cte.l Mildred Blessini. Vice-President, Chris Hansen, Secretary, Robert Grothen, Treasurer, aid Arth ir Lind, Yell King. Miss McDonald was Class Advisor. A great shout went up from the throats of the Class of '29 and th :y ad wrt -d a class yell, Watch us, we shine, 1-9-2-9 , and also the class decided that Purple and Gold were very good colors for the symbol of the class. And it came to pass that the wisemen looked upon th: little boys of this class and finally pronounced them as very good material for football, basktball, track an.l baseball. They also found the girls of this class very active in athletics. So, after many months of weary work, they turned their eyes toward p'o1n' tion, but many of them dropped from school with various excuses. A picnic at Lake Wilderness, in May, ended the first year. In 1926 a much refreshed band of youths came from the adjoining terrftory. very proud of their advancement and remembering the days of their greenness. As th: Soph- omores of their day, had done unto them, even so did we do unto th.s: new Freshmen. In our second year we chose as our leaders, Harold Bowers, President, Vivian Murkowski, Vice-President, Lawrence Blessing, Secretaryg Vaughn Eagon. Tresurerg Chris Hansen, Yell King, and Miss Brattain as Class Advisor. The class journeyed through the second year, losing classmgtes aloig the way. But during the year of 1926-1927 the class had very good athletic mtterial and recpived much honor and respect from the upper-classmen. The Class of '29 proved, in their third year, that there was no class wiici could equal them. The first honor the juniors won was the banner given by the S. B. A. in the Student Body ticket selling contest. Once more the class chose the worthy people for their leaders. Ralph Green. Presidentg Mildred Blessing. Vice-Pixsidegitg Elsie Anderson, Secretaryg Arthur Lind, Treasurer, Chris Hansen, Yell King, and for their Class Advisor they chose Miss Bernice Smith. In accordance with the custom the juniors gave the Seniois a Christmas assembly. Three months passed and the next great event was the junior Prom, which was held the twenty-fifth of March. The Class of '29 proved their skillfulness in their Ma- rine Ball. The Seniors and underclassmen, as well as the juniors, enjoyed thrmselves at the Ball. In the latter part of May, after the Seniors, Class of '28, returned from their sneak, an excellent breakfast was served to them the next morning by the worthy juniors. Now it came to pass, as their pride grew to a great bigness within them the class began to wish for a symbol befitting their station, messages were sent to hrms for samples of their various line jewelry, The class chose rings and pins. The fourth year in the history of this great and wonderful Class of '29 has been one of hard labor and little resting by the wayside, for preparations have been made for us to take our final departure from our dear school. The leaders of the class the fourth year were Elwyn Lind, President, Thorston Ed- man, Vice-President, Elsie Anderson, Secretaryg Mildred Blessing, Treasurer, and Chris Ttvefzly

i Cl l'il-CS Clam Poem llviflv Ajmlogiei in Lrnzgfelfozz' Should you ask me whence these Seniors Wlieitce these bright and noble Seniors With the knowledge of their Latin With their knowledge of their studies XXfith their great athletic power And their towering heights of honor? l should answer, I should tell you From the city, from the suburbs, From the little town of Selleck, From the district of the Vlfabash, From the foothills of the Cascades, And the banks of the great Mill Pond Came a worthy man and noble Ruler of the worthy Seniors, Who stood up and called his foll'wers To the great tepee of Knowledge. In the study hall and class room On the street and in the dance hall, They, the Juniors, sang songs to us Sang to us our many praises In the town called Enumclaw. If still further you should ask me, Saying, Speak, who are these people? Tell us of these mighty Seniors. I should answer your inquiries Straightway in such words, as follows: ln the town named Iinumclaw, In the cool and silent valley Of the great stream called White River, Near the sleepy town of Buckley, Dwell these high and mighty Seniors. You can trace them thro' the valley By their youthfulness in Springtime, their joy and mirth in Summer, their school books in the Autumn, By their noble deeds in Winter. By By If you ask me why we leave you, Why we seem to be so sad now, We will tell you, we must leave you, But you'll never know the joys that We have had while in your midst here And we say: Farewell forever. Farewell! Dear E. H. S., farewell! For we can ne'er return again. Thus depart the noble Seniors, The Senior Class of '29. In the glory of their knowledge, In the ending of their schooldaysg To the regions of a new world, From this city of the Northwest, From the school of all our dreamingg To the great world of strange people, To the land where new life greets us. Hansen, Yell King, Miss Smith proving a very good Class Advisor, was chosen to stay with the Class of '29 another year, guiding them to their last milestone. Then on December 22, the Seniors of '29 gave their Senior Ball. The ball was of a Christmas motif and was voted to be successful by all attending. Then the foptionalj Senior Sneak-imagine the bewilclerment of the poor juniors when they awoke to rind their mighty brethern departed. But think of the joy of the Juniors to have us back again, so thrilled were they at our presence that they entertained the notable Seniors at a breakfast given in our honor. Then our Bacclaureate Ceremony at the High School Gymnasium, Sunday, June 2, 1929, was a very impressive ceremony. This class night will also be part of our History. On Friday night we will leave the Iinumclaw High School forever. Twenly-one
