QUINIAULT By the time we became Juniors, we began to realize the bigger things of our high school course. This year was very interesting, being full of work and victories for the class of 1918. The year was started out with a rush, and the officers elected were: Carl Anderson, president; Ralph Harris, vice-president; Hannah Schwarz, secretary, and Joe Fox, treasurer. Soon afterwards a constitution was drawn up, and plans for a Junior Prom commenced. The Prom was held on January 19, 1917, and proved a great success. This year we also kept up our end, or even more in various forms of school activities. Many of our boys were on the first football team this year, and our class team won the basketball championship of the school. In debate a team composed of two Juniors and one Senior won the school championship. As we drew near to the close of our Junior year, the United States became involved in the world war, and it was immediately plain that the class of 1918 contained no slackers, six of our number leaving to the remainder of the class, the task of keeping our name untarnished. Seniors! We had finally reached the goal of the Freshman. That is, we were on the home stretch. As Seniors, we now dominated the halls and looked upon the school as our possession, to run and use as we pleased. However, that is not all we did during our last year, for we employed every effort to make of the Senior Class all that it ought to be and all that the name implies. We were indeed fortunate in the selection of our officers for the year, choosing as president, Martha Pearson; vice-president, Roy Peterson; secretary, Hannah Schwarz and treasurer, Beulah Beedon. The Seniors, as usual, had a good representation in athletics, three of the class being letter men on the football team, one on the basketball team and two track letter men. Our first play, “A Perplexing Situation,” was a success in every way, due to the efforts of Miss Rupp who coached it. The second of our triumphs was the fancy dress dance, given in the new gymnasium, which was much enjoyed by all who attended. We carried our Senior Class Play, “The Newlyweds’ Predicament” to a very successful conclusion, having produced one of the most enjoyable theatricals ever given by a Senior Cass. Our next great event was the annual Senior Ball, held on May 10,1918, in the Armory. Naturally at the close of the year, we have been busy with the usual class business always attendant on the busy Seniors, but everyone worked some and enjoyed themselves also. Indeed, our last year under the blue and gold has been the most enjoyable of all our school years. While our class has ever been small in numbers, it has always had spirit enough for a class twice its size. The “Class of 1918” has had a most eventful history, and has won its due share of honors and victories, and now, as the motto suggests, we go “Over the Top’ to fresh conquests in the game of life.

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—
