Class History In the year 1923 fourteen students entered Fife High School as Fresh- men. These green and rather foolish Frosh, with the exception of a number of changes, were none other than the Senior class of '27, who, as they look back over their High School careers, smile fondly as they think of the mistakes they made. Everyone, however, knows the Freshman year is one of common errors, so they were well prepared for their blunders. Our superiors soon showed us that we were but inferior stuff in the making, but soon, with all conceit torn from us, we emerged victoriously as Sophs. As Sophomores we were very much inclined to make much ado about nothing, but with Mrs. McClane to advise us we climbed on and upward to our jolly Junior year. It is well known that the Junior year will be just as you like it. As Juniors we tried to set a good example for the other classes to follow. We leave our fellow students to judge whether or not we succeeded. Now, as dignified Seniors, we have the happiness of knowing that all's well that ends well. Our record has, we feel, been very creditable-thanks to the aid and kindness of our instructors. We, the Senior class of '27, do fully appreciate the training we have obtained at Fife Hi, and now we leave, with a store of knowledge and a heart full of happy memories, ready to meet the future. Class Prophecy My, but it was good to be homeward bound. I had spent the winter months in France and tho I had a very pleasant time I was glad to be return- ing home. The second dey out I was walking on deck when a voice hailed me. I turned about, and there, to my surprise, stood Louise Fox. After I had recovered from my surprise at this unexpected meeting, Louise took me by the arm and proceeded to lead me off, announcing that she had another surprise for me. She led me to a stateroom door, which opened at the sound of our voices, and there stood Lillian Jacobs. You can just bet we had a merry time the rest of the trip. Louise had made a fortune on her Chinchilla rabbit farm

ILLAHEE 15 in California. Lillian had been to Paris to study styles. She was now the proprietor of an exclusive fashion shop on Fifth Avenue in New York City, where she was known as Madame Francis the Modistef' During the trip our conversation often turned to the happy times we had at Fife High. It was at such a time that Lillian told me she had seen our old classmate, Namiko Yonemura, while on a business trip to Detroit. She said that Namiko was the proprietor of a delightful tea room which had won popu- lar favor. Namiko had told her that Kiyoko Sugioka was now a very efficient nurse in the Tacoma General Hospital. Our boat arrived in New York harbor on a bright sunny morning, and we three old friends decided to make a day of it. While waiting for a taxi I purchased a daily paper. There I found the faces of Daiichi Yoshioka and Tadao Yoshida staring me in the face. Upon scanning the writeup, I found that Daiichi and Tadao were now star players on the New York Yankee baseball team, and they were scheduled to play a game that very afternoon. Of course, we just had to see the game. After lunch we started for the baseball game. It surely was a wonderful game - the most exciting I've ever seen since leaving Fife High. We finally succeeded in pushing thru the crowd to see Daiichi and Tadao. Our chat was cut short due to the fact that they had many other friends waiting for a word with them. Daiichi told me that Mitsuoyoshi Asahara was now a prominent player in professional football. That evening, we old friends decided to see a play. After arriving at the theater we procured programs, and, upon reading them, the first name in the cast was that of Agnes Moi. As a leading lady, Agnes was superb. Never before had I seen such an actress. I had definitely decided to make my home in Tacoma. But before leaving I had to visit some friends in Washington, D. C. My stay with them was a round of pleasure filled with many interesting events. One afternoon we went to visit the capitol, and es we were going up the steps to the entrance we met a handsome man whose face seemed familiar to me. He recognized me, and when he spoke I recognized him as Forrest Norris. Forrest was now a repre- sentative from the state of Washington, and because he was such an eloquent speaker had won a great deal of fame for himself. I was due to receive another surprise while in Washington. VVe motored out to the country one day, and, as we were viewing our pleasant surround- ings, we came to a very beautiful home. There were two rosy-checked chil- dren playing on the rolling green lawn. We were all marveling at the beauti- ful and homelike appearance of the place when a very pretty and youthful looking young lady came around the corner of the house. This lady proved to be none other than my former classmate, Geraldine Whitworth. This beau- tiful place was her home, where she lived in great happiness with her prince charming and the two pretty kiddies. I was growing rather tired of travel, and so decided to return to Tacoma and settle for a while. Arriving in Tacoma, I bought a beautiful home, and, wishing to have it furnished only with things of beauty, I decided to call an interior decorator to my aid. An old friend of mine promised to send one to me. On the ap- pointed day the decorator arrived, and proved to be Annie Ellestad. She was now a successful and very efficient interior decorator. She proceeded to make
