Q U I N I A U L T History of Class of 1918 UGUST 31, 1914. What a memorable day. What ignorant one would ask what happened on that day? Know ye not that on that day the class of 1918, then a bunch of untried infants, thronged that stronghold of education known as the Aberdeen High School? The class then numbering forty-seven green little freshies, assembled in room twelve under the supervision of Mr. E. E. Smith, for the purpose of commencing its High School career, and it was during this week that our kind and patient teachers started us on our straight and narrow path to knowledge. We then proceeded to organize our class, electing officers for the first year, who were: Edward Edwards, president; Carl Anderson, vice-president; and Roger Blackburn, secretary and treasurer. Class colors were also chosen to be green and white and the white rosebud was selected as the class flower. From the first, the class was favored with reasonable success, to which it has steadily added. Immediately after entering, the spirit of the class made itself felt in numerous ways, in athletics, debate, and in fact in all the multifarious activities of the school. During the first year, we were well represented in first-team football and our class basketball team, while not actual champions of the school, was tied for second place with two other teams. When as Sophs we returned the next fall, wc set to work to make a place for ourselves as best we might, continuing to cover ourselves with glory. The class, which came back with full strength, elected the following officers: president, Estel Ilerren; vice-president, Roy Peterson; secretary, George Vaughn and treasurer, Gordon Gibson. The Freshman reception, which was the main social activity, was made a great success, and then all efforts were turned to athletics. Some played football, some basketball, others worked out on the field and track. Those who did neither of these, maintained the honor of the class at debate. Spring was not long in rolling around, and with it came Commencement Day, and as we watched the Seniors march proudly to receive their diplomas we looked forward to the day when we would receive the same honors. —17—
