The Rhododendron WE, THE MEMBERS OF THE RHODODENDRON STAFF, PRE- SENT TO THE STUDENT BODY AND THE PUBLIC THIS, THE FOURTH ANNUAL ISSUE OF OUR SCHOOL ANNUAL. THE STAFF HAS ATTEMPTED TO SHOW FORTH THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SCHOOL ALONG ITS VARIOUS LINES. MAY THIS BOOK BRING BACK TO THE MINDS OF THE READERS SOME OF THE PLEASANT MEMORIES OF THE DAYS SPENT WITH FELLOW STUDENTS AND EVER KIND AND HELP- FUL INSTRUCTORS IN THE ANACORTES HIGH SCHOOL. Editorial Foreword 3) been X glancing back over your four years In the Anacortes High School, you should each ask these questions: “What am I fitted to do?” ‘‘Has my outlook upon the world been broadened, and have my sympathies deepened ?” The vast fund of information you have gained should mean much to you. hut your thinking power should he a far greater asset. The small habits you have chosen and followed, of studying your lessons, and making yourself responsible for each small task assigned you will open the path to success, hut most important of all, will make you an independent citizen and a better and truer man. The power you have gained by daily wrestling with quadratic equation should make it possible to puncture quickly the professional promoter’s ] et scheme or the seamy side of a salesman’s argu- ment. The facts and mental power you have gained in the study of ancient Rome should enable you to find the flaws in the political cure-alls peddled al out as a panacea for all national ills or to aid you in perceiving how distinctly history repeats itself when you read and enjoy the evening paper. The knowledge of chemical reactions gained through the knotty problems of the laboratory should make you a better cook or prepare your mind for fur- ther research in that large field of science. The thinking power generated by your high school course, rather than the facts learned, should enable the high school student to outrun others in the attainments of life. This thinking power should Ik a charged storage battery, ready to he tapped for any purpose later in life when the acting power is a necessity. The time and effort you have spent in building up your reservoirs of thought and power should pay great dividends com- pounded at frequent intervals in later life. You future now lies before you. If you fail to grasp your opportuni- ties. waiting ten years from now will Ik of no avail. Regrets for neglected opportunities do not pay dividends either in a national hank or the human character. You should discover yourself, your powers, your possibilities, and your proper ambition. The supreme test is at hand. Meet it; conquer, and success will he yours at every turn. MOUNT ItAKKH FROM CAP SANTE, ANACORTES Class $iStorp HAVING attains] the enviable position of Seniors of the A. FI. S.. it s( euis altogether fitting proper that we should tabulate our achieve- ments and claims upon the world's respect Four years ago we entered as Freshmen and naturally we were a very conspicuous group but a very proud one. Today we are more than pi oiul for we have developed into mighty Seniors. In the beginning we had a very large class but each additional year a few members dropped by the wayside, thus making the total number now thirty-two. Two mem- Ihts of last year’s graduating class and one of the class of ’20 re-enlisted this year as they desired a few more credits. Our Freshman year was one of thrills and great excitement. Our only social event was a party and it was that year that May first was proclaimed the annual date for our school picnic. But we must not linger upon those early scenes. When Sophomores we began to realize what a wondrous place our old high was. In every activity we were highly represented. A Sophomore party was held to welcome the Fresliies and many a poor Freshman be- wailed the day we were born, for they certainly were initiated by us. Our Junior year entered with a bang. What a triumph to be ac- knowledged as “upper class men.” We were nearing the goal for which every student works—Senior days. The Junior Mixer was the first social event of the year and later followed the Junior Prom. The memories of those two fetes will forever linger in our minds for we established our reputation ns hosts. The Junior picnic held at Dewey was a big success, just ask our dear boys, for did they not spend the weary night on the beach on account of their merry pranks (?) There was also a Junior-Senior picnic, both classes journeying to Shaw Island where many happy hours were frisked away. At last our golden dream has been fulfilled. We as Seniors have made this year one of great happiness and success. At the head of the classes we have maintained our scholarship: have shown the finest spirit in school works and also in athletics. The Senior girls won the interclass basketball series and the boys made up the largest per cent, in all the different sports. The Senior Play and Ball ranked as the biggest events of the school year. A Theatre Party was given at the beginning of the term. Last but not least the class took advantage of all Senior privileges and so a “Sneak was taken. Senior Class Officers President...............Anna Schwartz Secretary...............George Anderson Treasurer...............Francis Short Class Color—Green and White Class Flower—White Carnation Class Motto—“Ne Tentes aut Perfice” A 01 of ;Pfjtlo£opl)j Flowers bloom in springtime Then the world should he happy and gay. We mortals should start in sometime And throw all our troubles away. If we think only of work and worry. Are selfish and want all for our own. We only to our graves do hurry Instead of bringing happiness home. Life is a series of puzzles. Some things we like, some abhor; But if we’d discard our troubles Then wed live in a regime of galore.

To gain pure knowledge was their aim, This wisdom-seeking gang of ours. But often since, they did exclaim, “My kingdom for more peaceful hours.” “Yea Ro, it’s a great life,” says we. “To worry, study and to strain, Rut what will l e the good to me?” No one could explain t The first year seemed an endless one, Although we lucky folks got by. And oh! it was hard luck for some Who thought it would be as soft as pie. Hurrah! we’ll never In� Presides again Our noses were all stuck up with pride Dunces though we once had l con. Our ignorance was cast aside. We hazed the Presides all too well, We cropped their flaxen locks in streaks; ’Twas lots of fun to hear them yell. Such sounds would give anyone the creeps. Sophomores no more—we’re gay Juniors,” Boasted the fortunate ones next year. “One more will see us Seniors, •We’ll leave the rest far in the rear.” “Say Rud.” said an undergrad to his friend, “Who art the mvls in yonder group?” “They surely must have knowledge to lend— “They shower advice on our whole troop.” “They are the wise ones in this school, Through four whole years they’ve played to win “They're going out in life to rule.” Now take a wee tip from the wise. Who have lieen through the House of Knowledge; Stick to the grind as we advise. Then you. too, will l e fit for college. W. A. S. NE day as I was wandering Reside a shady woodland brook, found myself a pondering And glimpses of the future took. I saw each member of the class Some at work and some at play. Every boy and every lass Pushing forward day by day. First I saw our old friend Larson A very happy man was he. He had his loving wife and son. (Ruth Griffin she) one on each knee. And then I saw our friend Andy Sadly left Quite in the lurch. When Eva Byers turned him down And vamped another. Aaron Ferch. And soon I saw the shy Gillespie. A salesman of renown; Sweet Alice, leader of society And Terry, mayor of the town. There was Walter Schwartz the wit Who would the north pole discover. And by his side would Dorothy sit For Wop was somehow prone to love her. Then by-and-by came little Laing, A business man as you might know. And Garland came up with a bang The baseball he still liked to throw. Virgil, a king of movie-land. Could to the nation make his bow; And Tommy led a gypsy hand With Helen Jordan for his frau. Meanzie was an opera singer Ruth Bryan a leading star; Our Adolph surely was a dinger The lH sf comedian by far. Lillian with her millionaire Owned a palace by the sea. And Anna Schwartz had chances fair Our IT. S. president to be. Patton was a ladies’ man Who patronized pretty teas And Bertha Snndeen’s coat of tan Was pained while diving in the seas. Virginia taught the village school And ruled the children with a stick. Lorraine lived by the Golden Rule. And nursed the neighbors who were sick. Gladys Wiggins was the one Who kicked the highest on the stage Margaret Thompson had a son. The champion boxer of the age. When any girl made eyes at you, The vamp was Laura, you could bet. Behold the queer things some folks do! Our Amy was a farmerette. Thelma Minck was stepping out With a brown eyed lad I did not know. While Eleanor’s husband had the gout. And Vivian had a brand new beau. i Short was captain of a gang OC pirates, stealing round-a-bout; And last and least I saw Ed Laing An old man now beyond a doubt.

Why. it’s only tho echo of tho entrance of the Class of ’28 into our venerable high school in 1019. Wo certainly were a green assembly, hut we wore very poppy and willing to loam and we soon learned the wicked ways of the world. Exerytlilng we undertook from Freshman Day to a Christinas party for the whole school was a howling success. Although we had no stars in any branch of school activities, we supported the team and helped haul the victories in. George Anderson, Vivian Fowler, Charta and Beatrice Michelet were the class officers during that year. Ah—hack again? The same bunch, although decreased in number and more sophisticated by our years of association with the inmates of this institution. During our Sophomore year we were represented on all fields of school activities. Helen DeRush. Earnest Means. Doris Hill and Ruth Nicholson were prominent in the musical field. John Calvin. Doris Hill and Rufus Webb in athletics. Earnest Means was on the debate team that won the championship in 1021. Although we did not give many social functions, those we gave were huge successes and enjoyed by all. Pearl Farley. Louisa Fowler and lone Holmes were the officers for that year. This year we became upperclassmen. What a distinction. We upheld the dignity of our position by giving a Junior Prom that excelled all others given by any Junior class. We were also represented in different fields of activities by having Doris Hill. McGregor Allan. Earnest Means, and Ruth Nicholson in the musical fields: Rufus Webb, Doris May. Raymond Pollock and John Jordan in athletics and Edna Souliere in Debate. We also had. through the nine months of school, the highest percentage of honor roll students of the entire school. Although we were not so successful in inter-class basketball games, we ave a fine girls’ baseball team and hope to clean up the rest of the teams. And when it comes' to selling tickets for any event, we Juniors established a record that few of the classes could rival. The class officers for the year were Edna Souliere, Doris Hill McGregor Allan. Charta Michelet and Xorine Kasch. Our accomplishments in work and play, during the first two years, were guarded by Miss Merrick and she successfully piloted one class through all the storms of our underclassmen days. During the last year Miss Wells has guided our wandering souls and it is to her influence and help that our success is due. Jffantasy FROM the shelf the clock’s loud chiming Told that night was nearly o’er. But still I sat there cramming ’Till my brain would hold no more. And as I was sadly moping Wishing that the tests were o’er. My thoughts l cgan to wander. Away from all hook lore. Soon a dwarf appeared before me In a long queer gown of gray; And he said in tones of kindness “Come, my child, with me away. I’ll lead you to the hiding place Of the Record Book of the High, For without me you’ll ne’er find it. Though you search until you die.” Then I up and followed after And we hurried through the night. Oh! how the wind howled around us. The world was far Iwlow us With its twinkling light on light. As we flew on so swiftly Toward the great round moon so bright. When we reached our destination Out came the man in the moon. Who asked what we were doing TJp there in the month of June. And upon learning our mission He said I could read in the book But because of a recent ruling At one page alone could I look. He asked me of all of the many Which page I wished to see. And I answered without hesitation Why, the Juniors of Twenty-three. “There ne’er was a letter class (1 read) Than the Juniors of Twenty-three, Their’s the true spirit of the school. Their’s brains and ability. But here I paused to turn a page When hang! Amid great din I awoke to find me on the floor With a bump upon my chin.

Under the Influence of Moonlight Y[ LEANED dreamily hack against the old maple tree , near the foot of the hill that sloped gently to the shore, vvher the water lapped softly. The moon shown down from the deep blue sky where stars gleamed mysteriously and a warm breeze, laden with the perfume of the flowers of spring wafted many strange visions to me. My cigarette was slowly ex- tinguished as my faltering hand fell upon the ground. I felt my hip pocket and gazing into the receptacle I found there. I sighed deeply, “Well, mebbe it’s just as well there isn’t any more left.” I murmured appreciatively. Things became blurred—the moon danced crazily Ijefore me and I lost my grip upon things of this world and I seemed to slip—dizzily slit)—when —ting-a-ling-a-ling-ling. Ling-a-ling-ling. Lightly sounded the music upon the gay careless throng in the Casino of Monte Carlo. The huge center of the dome roofed building was devoted to musical souls and the wicked God of Chance held sway among the booths along the walls. Among the ex- cited dancers I beheld many familiar faces. Dorothy Dwelley. in her modish green gown with the yellow sash, toddled with Raymond Pollock, who was continually catching his head in the decorations overhead. Louisa Fowler and Walter Strock were jazzing in a surprising (?) way and Rufus Webb and Minnie Cummings were gently two-stepping in a deserted corner. Su- zanne Boudour, in a gypsy costume of purest white, danced among the crowd, selling smelling salts for the needy and now and then after admin- istering an overdose to some forlorn lady she would waltz gaily off with her partner, discarding him when she found a higher stepper. MacGregor Allan, wildly waving his two hands, called the attention of the assembly by an- nouncing that Helen DeRush would give her nightly performance by singing “While He’s Away at College,” which she did very sweetly on two notes. And in another corner. Donald Wright, with the aid of Helen Lundl erg and Mildred Ruda, was giving a patriotic demonstration of the faith of the Holy Rollers, which the crowd seemed in a mood to adopt. All of a sudden everything changed, and instead of the gay scene at Monte Carlo, I beheld an important session in the House of Representa- tives of America. Seated in the Speaker’s chair was George Manchester, and standing by her desk stood Mamie Wollertz, whom George had refused to recognize. Mamie called to a page, Berent Rydberg, who brought her a box from which she took china dishes and repeatedly threw at George until he allowed her to speak in order to prevent his total destruction. She then introduced a bill for the further prevention of divorce. The bill was attacked by many. First by Norine Kasch. who said that just because ole Mamie Wollertz had grabl ed a man. and a perfectly respectable gob at that, and who had just commenced making enough money for Mum it to have a $0.000 car and a few villas and decent clothes (tho the Lord knew she needed ’em) she didn’t see why the poor gob should suffer her any longer and that Mamie was shaking for selfish reasons and that there- fore the bill ought not even Ik considered. Then Mamie replied that just because Norine Kasch had a specialty for gobs and a special specialty for her special gob, was no reason why divorces should not be abolished and that it had taken her two whole years to catch that gob and that he was just beginning to pay now and she didn’t intend to lose him. Thereupon Bernice Schwartz spoke up an said that Norine didn’t want the ole gob anyway and when Norine sarcastically remarked she ’spose so. Norine got violent and said that Mamie need not worry about any ole divorce laws because she (Norine) would get any ole special gob she wanted whether he was divorced or not. At which Norine became violent and was picking up another china cup when George interfered and called for—. When! Cock-a-doodle-doo! The old red rooster crowed lustily and I opened my eyes. It was morning and the sun would soon 1h up. So I crawled up from my cramped position and thoughtfully entered the house by the side window, and slipping off my oxfords!, crept upstairs so that I would not cause the folks unnecessary trouble .—E.

We held the record of being the liveliest and largest Freshman class ever entered in the Anacortes High School. We soon recovered from that same greenness and our class became noted for its pep. vim and enthusiasm. In any school activity where co-operation was needed, the Freshmen were right there to supply it. The Sophomores, of course, generously initiated us into the mysteries of high school life, but because of our large numbers there were not as many “hot handings” and “hair cuttings” as there might have been. And say. Sophomores, do you rememlier how comical some of our fellows looked going around with part of their cherished pompadours missing? We elected as class officers, Leah Davey. president; Earl Rose, treas- urer. and Iris Johnson, secretary. We were, during our first year, quite prominent in athletics, represented by Louis Budwiek and John Jordan in football: Kenneth Wakefield and John Jordan in basketball; girl’s basketball by I mb Davey and Lucille Lowman, Dorothy DeRusli and Thelma Johnston in track. We gave some very successful entertainments for the Juniors and Sophomores. This year we again wended our weary way toward this learned In- stitution. slightly diminished in number but still bedding the record of the largest Sophomore class. We have displayed our superior qualities with the utmost skill and ease in all undertakings. Who was the first to respond to the call for funds for the Annual? Why, the Sophomores, of course, with our suc- cessful vaudeville. It was given down town. Friday. March 31st, in the Joan d’Are Hall. The program was composed of several numbers which were all well acted and a great many compliments were showered on the actors. The Old Maids’ Convention and Mixed Dates were quite realistic and were financial successes. opf)omorf Class ©filters Vice-president.........Dorothy Deltush Secretary..............Lulu Davis Treasurer..............Paddy Sou Hero President..............Lucile Lowman Class Colors—Black and Orange Class Flower—Yellow Chrysanthemum Class Motto—Sincerity.

T HE Freshman class, the largest class in school, and one of the largest in the history of the Anacortes High School, lias finished a most suc- cessful year, one in which it has undertaken and achieved noteworthy things. It is especially to lie accredited for its fine co-operation with the faculty in really trying to bring each of the Freshmen’s standard of scholarship to the pitch where it belongs. After the first four weeks of school a list of all those students whose grades were not passing was published but it was noted that the Freshmen took warning, and the second time the list was published few of their names appeared on it. Each one of them had conscientiously worked under the motto “to attain a standard which is nothing less than the best we can do.” The first activity in which the class as a whole participated was a Freshman-Sophomore party given in the high school gymnasium. January 6th, 1022. The gym was tastefully decorated and everyone played games which had been planned several days before the party. A lunch was served and judging from the pumpkin pie on the Senior roll room ceiling the Juniors and Seniors believed that the Freshmen and Sophomores must have had a wild time. Although the Freshmen boys did not turn out very well for football that class was amply represented by two splendid boys on the team. Zelvas Stone, (guard) and Chester Gilden, (center). Without the two boys the team would have l een badly in arrears, and they are expected to make another good showing on the next year’s team. Several of the girls are intending to turn out for the track and they have already organized a girls’ baseball team. One game was played with the Sophomores and although it was good practice for the Freshmen, the Sophomores won. The Freshmen were initiated the first few days of school by the zeal- ous Juniors and even Seniors, who clipped their hair and sent several of them through a process popularly known as the “spatting machine.” On November tne eighteenth the Sophomores entertained them at the annual party which constituted, literally, the real initiation of the freshies. Thus, as they muse over their successful beginning, they hope to make each succeeding year letter. jfrestfjman Class!

The Freshmen! i anmntt of a iffrestjip PRIZE STORY HE WAS only a Freshman, wearing knee breeches. He sat in the study hall,a lmost lost in the big seat, and tried vainly to understand the problem in his algebra lesson At last the figures wearied his brain and he looked around him. Everyone seemed to l e larger than he was. He glanced behind him, stared and blushed. There sat the fairest vision he had ever seen. The study hall teacher looked his way, and he was obliged to turn around, but not to study. His mind was too full of thoughts of the fair one behind him to concentrate itself upon x-y.” When the bell rang he stood up and was disappointed to see that the beautiful young lady was at least six inches taller than he. For a moment his heart almost failed him. then he smiled. Perhaps she wouldn’t care how tall a person was if she really liked him. She certainly wouldn’t turn him down with all that love in his heart. He could hardly «ait until the fourth study period came the next day. He hurried to the auditorium and waited with longing eyes for her to come. Presently he saw her. tripping down the hall, surrounded by a group of boys. All of those boys had on long trousers and they all seemed devoted to her. When she reached her desk she merely glancd at him. She tossed her books onto the desk and he saw written on the top of one Elaine Foster.” What a beautiful name! He thought of his own—Fritz, Fritz Eckhart. Well, names didn’t always count. lie took a piece of paper and tried conceding their names. After cancelling some time he succeeded in getting the answer love.” He folded the paper and put it in the pocket over his heart. With a sigh he opened his algebra to the hated lesson. He couldn’t study. Finally growing hold he turned around. “Say,” he whis- pered. when do you have swimmin’?” Elaine raised her eyes. “Hm? Oh! I don’t take it.” Fritz gasped, you ain’t a Senior?” Umhuh! Don’t bother me, little lx ys like you should be studying.” Fritz crimsoned and turned around crestfallen. She had called him Freshie,” and “little boy.” How did she know lu was a Freshman? Oh! she must be interested in him and had made inquiries about him. Her in- difference was forgotten in that one blissful thought. At the end of the period, however, she didn’t stop to speak to him, but strolled away with a pompadoured, long trousered idiot. That night Fitz did some serious thinking. Perhaps he ought to put on long trousers. He went into his father’s room andvtook his best pair from the' wardrobe. He tried them on. They were miles too big for him, but he rolled them up at the bottom, and with the aid of a good many safety pins, fastened them in an artistic manner. It certainly made an improvement. But he must have a pompadour before the effect would be perfect. His yellow hair did not make much of a success as a pompadour and Fritz was almost frantic. Just then his mother’s shrill voice called supper and he pulled off the trousers and hid them under the bed and ran down stairs. “Veil, vat for haf you got it?” His mother’s voice was stern. “I say, vat is der matter mit your har?” Fritz stammered, “Whfr, ma, I wanted a change. All the fellers jcomb their hair this way.” “Iss dat so? Veil, you look better mit it der odder vay aroundt” With a sinking heart Fritz again combed his hair 'hack, and spllenly took [his place at the table. _ _ _ The next morning he was the first one up. He rushed downstairs, snatched a “pretzel,” ate it at breakneck speed and scrambled upstairs. In fifteen minutes he had again produced a semblance to a pompadour, had manage to fit the trousers to his figure, put on his coat and hat. grabbed his books and was ready for school. He listened a moment at his father’s door but hearing only that gentleriian’s snore, lie gained courage, crept down- stairs and out the front door. All went well until the fourth study period. With a beating heart Fritz walked self-consciously to his seat after he had made sure that “she” was in hers. He tried not to look too proud, i He wondered if she were glad that, he had “them” on: as he sat down he couldn’t resist looking at her. Crash! Down came his pride.; She was intendly studying. In a fit of disappointment Fritz attacked his neglected algebra. Then his heart tie- gar. to reason for him. Maybe she was bashful. He was doing her a terrible injustice. Well, he’d prove to her that he was all right. He turned around, blushed, and then said in a stammering, whisper. Oh say. Elaine.” She looked up, impatience in her pretty face, which Fritz mistook for embarrassment. “Say, will you go to the show with me tomorrow afternoon?” It was said. Fritz waited in a frenzy of doubt. Elaine began by smiling amusedly and ended by laughing outright. The study hall teach- er looked up,. waited for further laughter, and then began correcting his papers again. Fritz felt mortification surging over him for what was Elaine saying but—“You poor little runt! Do you think I keep company with Freshies? Go back to your malted milk.” He tried to blink back the tears, but they persisted in coming, so he turned around. He sat there thinking, when he was startled out of his reverie by a heavy footfall in the aisle. He looked up. Horrors! There— coming straight toward him with the principal was—his father. “Hey, you Fritz r I vant my pants. Mein Gott! There iss a funeral. I got to vear mine best pants. Come here mit yourself! ! !” Fritz almost swooned. He never knew how he managed to walk out of that room with his father. The only thing he rememl ered was the- amused laugh of a dark eyed girl. L. S. v' THE JUNIOR MIXER About one hundred C3' and fifty students assembled In the gymnasium to open the social season with much hilar- ity, and ended the evening by proclaiming that the class of ’23 were very capable entertainers. Music and dancing furnished the evening’s amusement and a few other diversions werethrown in—namely a balloon-throwing contest, in which representatives from each class participated. The Freshmen claimed the glory for this feat. Aaron Ferch being the representative. Another event of the evening was a pie eating contest, the winner being from the Senior class. Miss Anna Schwartz. Our dignified faculty members wiggled their ears to the tune of “The Bullfrog on the Bank;” this was a form of initiation for our new faculty staff. David Burnam entertained the gay crowd with his violin, which everyone enjoyed. About 9:30 ice cream, wafers and marshmallows were served. Promptly at 10:30 the crowd dispersed to the tune of “When Johnnie Comes Marching Home.” 9 SENIOR THEATRE PARTY One Friday night in September the Seniors journeyed forth to see Tom Mix. Never before has there l een such a successful theatre party as the one in which the class of ’22 participated. Loges were secured and the merry crowd spent a most enjoyable evening properly chaperoned by Miss Kendrick and Miss Warren. After the show the class visited Weaverling’s Confectionery, where High School Specials were in great demand. After the hour of eleven good night was said by all, only lamenting the fact that such a good time passed so quickly. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION DANCE The Association Dance given Friday. Octol er 7th, was a great suc- cess socially. A merry atmosphere prevailed during the evening and with the gay spirit of the orchestra the crowd seemed delighted and happy. Dancing began at nine and young and old frisked away the hours till 12. The hall was cleverly decorated in large baskets of flowrers and at one side the letters A. H. S. wrere arranged very artistically. FOOTBALL ROYS ENTERTAN Miss Edna Souliere and Miss Suzanne Boudour entertained the foot- ball eleven and their girl friends at a dancing party at the home of Miss Souliere, Thursday evening, October 26. At ten o’clock refreshments were served. The happy throng voted it the most enjoyable evening and upon leaving gave three cheers for the hostesses. sophomore party Friday evening. November the 18th. the class of 24 entertained the Freshmen in the A. H. S. gymnasium. The two classes, with a few members of the faculty, played games throughout the evening. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated with streamers of orange and black and evergreen boughs. Pumpkin pies and whipped cream were served as refreshments. GLEE CLUB CONCERT The High School Glee Club, under the instruction of Mrs. Burnain, made their first appearance in a concert given at the Masonic Hall. The program was very cleverly arranged and interesting. Mrs. Burnain spent considerable time in training the students and arranging for the concert. Several solos, both vocal and instrumental, were ottered for public approval. David Burnain. who played his violin, was the feature of the evening’s en- tertainment. The concert was a complete success. BAZAAR A bazaar was given by the Domestic Science and Art Departments of the high school. Decemlier 16. It was under the supervision of Miss Wells and Mrs. States, the instructors of that department, and was held in the Domestic Science rooms. Dainty Christmas gifts were made by the girls of the Domestic Art classes and many a Christmas shopper was well repaid by a visit to the bazaar. The girls who took cooking made fruit cakes for Christmas dinners, and candies. FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE PARTY The Freshmen gave a party for tin Sophomores Friday evening. Jan- uary 6th. The first part of the evening was spent in playing games and the last part the guests were divided into groups, one Anacortes and one Mount Vernon, the object to see which side could perform the most clever stunts. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Johnstone served as capable chap- erons for the evening. JUNIOR PROM Elaboration of detail marked the Junior Prom given by the class of ’23, Friday evening, January 27. More than one hundred couples were dancing at one time. The hall was very prettily decorated in the class colors. Green and yellow crepe paper hangings were draped from all parts of the room and came together in the center of the ceiling, where hung a large basket of green and yellow flowers. In one corner of the hall hung a large Japanese umbrella, with many varied colored lanterns, under which punch was served by two little girls dressed in white organdie dresses and large white hair ribbons. linens’ Orchestra from Bellingham furnished the music. The Patrons and patronesses were: Dr. and Mrs. II. M. Wheeler Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Souliere Dr. and Mrs. Austin Shaw Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Fulton Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Kaune SENIOR BALL The social activities of tin year ended with the Senior Ball, given in the Eagles Hall, on the 10th of May. The hall was lieautifully decorated in oriental style with gold and silver leaves and rustic porches and fence. The music was furnished by Heun’s Orchestra, which outdid itself in making this Ball a crowning success. The patrons and patronessec were: Mr. and Mrs. George A.

H. S., has so far proven quite popular with the students during its third year. As is the custom, meetings were held every six weeks and programs were put on consisting of music, recitations and biographies of successful men and women. An especially interesting program was put on before the assembly on Thanksgiving Day. The main attraction of this was a short play: how several very human boys earned their Thanksgiving dinner by putting on an entertainment for a rich farmer and his family.

When Miss Kendrick left, a successful farewell party was given for li � r. Miss Hughes then took her place as one of the sup- ervisors. The Club is very grateful l oth to Miss Evans and Miss Hughes. THE GLEE CLUB THE musical talent of the school has been greatly developed this year, and the activities of the department have been in every way successes. A great many of the best singers left school last year so it was quite a task for Mrs. Burnam to accomplish what is expected each year of the Glee Club. In its final appearance at the Baccalaureate Service and Com- mencement Exercises a well-trained chorus will be presented. The sometimes dull routine of school life has often been pleasantly interrupted by assemblies at which the Glee Club rendered some excellent numbers. It has Ihmmi noted that they can sing with equally as much vol- ume a good rousing school song, or a selection from a famous opera. Toward the middle of the year a concert was given at the Masonic Ifall, the proceeds of which were used for purchasing new music for the Club. Several good numbers were given, which showed the individual talent and ability of some of the Glee Club members. David Burnam added a great deal to the success of the concert by playing a few selections on the violin and directing his orchestra, which also played a few pieces. One of the greatest events of the year to the Glee Club, and indeed to the whole school, was the production of the operetta. “The Pioneer’s Papoose.” The faculty aided in many ways in making it possible by taking charge of the costuming. sp cialties, et cetera. Mrs. Burnam acted as musical director. “The Pioneer’s Papoose” was one of the most successful operettas, financially and otherwise, ever produced by the school. The two proceeding years years the Glee Club has entirely paid for their own piano. All money in their treasury left over from this has been donated to the Athletic Association. This year, however, it has been decided that the Glee Club donations shall lie used only to promote art and music in the high school. A lovely music cabinet, for music and records, will be finished this year in the Manual Training Department, and will be paid for by tin Glee Club. They also plan to buy at least ten pictures, to lie donated to the Art Department, and a set of books for the library. The remaining money will l e used next year for purchasing new music. • - 6lec Out) in “Cfjc pioneer’s papoose” The characters were selected with care and were as follows: Leon Crawford took the part of Prinee White Face, the dreamer; McGregor Allan was splendid as the powerful and dignified Chief Tomahawk. Eva Byers was Princess Lillamush, who was instantly made beautiful by the wise medicine man, Layamount� which part was well taken by Earnest Means. Iris Johnston played as Waltzie, the beautiful daughter of the Pioneer, Francis Patten. Leah Davey as Bowright, and Grace Burgett as Moonfair, were two lovely Indian maidens and constant admirers of the magic art of the wise Layamount. Ualph Laing played the part of Lightfoot, the trustworthy messenger. The house was crowded with people who were made to really live through the time when the reel people Inhabited our country, and beautiful Indian maidens roamed the woods, admiring themselves in the quiet lakes, and holding con- ferences with wise medicine men, while the stern braves dabced the war dance around large camp fires and then with a war whoop and a whirl of the tomahawk, were off to buttle. ikfjool ottgs A.

Much enthusiasm was shown and on October 5th a debate tryout was held. Edna Souliere, Grace Burgett and Helen Edwards were chosen as the A. H. S. debators, with Miss Warren as their coach. Neither the high school nor the town people have shown much en- thusiasm in attending debates given in the city so during the past years the club has not succeeded in paying its expenses. For this reason the A. H. S. did not enter into the State Series although they tried to arrange debates with other schools who had teams but were not competing with other schools. One debate was arranged with Ferndale and Ferndale postponed the date until it was impossible to have it on account of the Skagit flood. It is hoped that next year the Debate Club will enter the State Scries and compare their talent with other Northwestern high schools. A humorous debate was given one afternoon in the assembly on an unusual subject: “Resolved: That I would rather bo a little frog in a big pond than a big frog in a little pond.” Carl Larson and George Anderson upheld the affirmative while Walter Schwartz and Thomas Shannon defended the negative. The boys all showed ability along that line of work and succeeded in getting several good laughs out of the audience. The judges’ decision was given to the affirmative. While they were consulting in the office a very interesting program fol- lowed the debate.

The judges’ decision was in favor of the negative. Another Freshman debate is being prepared upon the topic: “Resolved: That Roman culture is superior to that of Greece.” This debate is to be held soon. A meeting of the Club was called April 17tli, closing debate work this year and selecting officers for the next year.

GIRLS COUNCIL Girls’ Comitii Officers Lillian Anderson Pearl Parley Honnie Queen . Leah Dave.v Miss Hughes President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Advisor THE Girls’ Council of the Anacortes High School was organized Feb- ruary, 6th, ’22. for the purpose of promoting the general welfare of all the students, and also to secure the united action of all the members of the school activities. This Council includes all the girls of the high school. The Consti- tution requires that an advisor lias to be chosen from the faculty. This means that all the ladies of the faculty are members of the Council. Four meetings have been held since the Council was organized. The first two were mainly for organization and election of officers. It was not until the third meeting that all the officers presided at the session. The meetings were not held strictly to business as there have been programs rendered. The progress of each committee is stated at the meetings and suggstions are offered which may better the council. The Council entertained the mothers at a tea. the main purpose of which was to introduce the Council outside of school. There would have lieen more entertainments and outings if the council had been organized sooner. We are looking forward to many hikes before school closes. Mrs. George, a member of the school board, came to one of the meet- ings and addressed the girls. She expressed her appreciation of the Coun- cil and the work it was accomplishing. Mrs. Ferch, a very good lecturer and traveler, also spoke to the girls and is doing all she can to back the Council in all its undertakings. The Council is supported by dues as well as contributions from moth- ers of the members. THie money collected is spent for flowers, fruits and such dainties as may Ik taken to those who are ill. A very go nl foundation has been laid upon which we all hope our followers will build with as much zeal as we have done in the past, pro- moting the general welfare of all the members of the Council. 0 Jfrencf) Class “Parlez-vous franca is?” Wo of the French class “avons parle beau- coup” this year. We have broadened our understanding of the French P«H ple through the reading of Contes et I � gendes” in the French 1 class and “Mon Oncle et Mon Cure” and “Le Voyage de M. Perriehon” in the French II class. Le Petit Journal, which we read regularly, and the cor- respondence with French High school pupils have all made our work very interesting. The one aim of every member of our classes is to be able some day to visit la Belle France” about which we have heard so much, and become better acquainted with our amis francais.” Miss Manetta Ruth, where is your book?” Ruth:—Oh! I forgot and took it home. Kenneth had a petit chein. He loved it tres bien But it had an awful peine. So he gave it to a dame Who gave it to her cuisiniere And they had hot dog for le diner. M. L. She thinks of dropping French And all her friends concur. For knowing her, they quite agree. One tongue’s enough for her. ©panisf) Class This is tho first year that Spanish has been taught in the Anacortes High School, and it is being taken up by a largo numlier of students with enthusiasm. Why take Spanish? Of course we all relize how important Spanish- American trade is becoming to us Knowle lge of Spanish will soon 1m a necessity for all who enter the business world. But there is a more im- mediate reason. Our baseball team or maybe our football team may want to make an excursion to Vera Cruz or perhaps Buenos Aires. We would at least want to be able to say “Buenas tardes, senor,” and certainly would be handicapped if we couldn't even understand it: so we decided we’d bet- ter be prepared in case such a thing should happen.

Cfje Hatin Class Light hoartedly we start on our path of Latin knowledge. Conju- gations, declensions, and vocabularies, accompanied by the numerous rules and regulations which every good Latin student must know—mark our first year’s journey. But we are repaid the second year when we accompany Cjesar in his thrilling campaigns. Here our pugno, pugnas, pugnat” ring true. When we are not actually hurling our javelins from some dizzy height at the barbarian enemy, who outnumber our men by some four thousand, we are making plans to subdue some German trilK . or we are receiving am- bassadors on a peace proposition. We find “Labor omnia vincit,” and fight- ing earnestly we win through our struggles with Cspsar. And we feel we are well equipped to meet life’s battles four-square; we, like Ca sar, have the conqueror’s tread and his I will i do,” and what is more necessary? As we part as Latin classes, we feel certain that wo win never forget the busy days spent with our teacher in our old Latin class-room and we know that in long years after we shall wish them back again.

But alas! it looks hopeless and we’re getting sore, For they keep on eating and asking for more. —W. E. S. M. The science of cookery is being recognized more and more as an essential subject in the high school curriculum. In the Anacortes High School two years of Domestic Science are offered. The first year class is given both semesters in order to accommodate tin- Freshmen girls who are desirous of learning to become home makers. Aland forty students have registered in the course this year, which is the largest number that can be accommodated in the department. The w’ork in the first year of Domestic Science consists of the principles and appli- cation of cookery, the serving of meals and demonstrations by the students In'fore the class. The Advanced Domestic Science class was offered the second semester and the class was filled to its capacity. The work in the second year consists of a general review of the princ iples of domestic science, the plan- ning and balancing of menus, the serving of meals and the study of diets in disease and sickness. During the year several banquets and meals were served which gave the girls practical experience in the preparation of quantity cooking. The first semester a banquet was served to the football team and the second semester one was served to the Board of Education and the high school faculty. Simple meals were served during class periods and a simple lunch was served to the Executive Members of the Girls’ Council. A new phase of work, wheih introduced this year, is the “Home Project.” In this a certain kind of work was carried out in the home for one month periods. Through their project, the girls got a practical exper- ience in cooking, serving or entertaining in the home, and in a small way the work was carried to the mothers of the girls. The results of the projects were very good and most of the girls enjoyed the work. 0 Domestic 8rt Two year’s work was offered this year in sewing. The first year consisted of the study of textiles, and work with cotton materials. The second year included work on silk and woolen materials. Just before Christmas the Home Economic Classes gave a bazaar and sold small articles and Christmas gifts which were made by the girls. With the proceeds from the bazaar we ! ought new drapes for the Domestic Art room, which greatly improve its appearance. 2lrt Class The art class of 1922 is considered one of the best art classes that has ever been in the A. H. S. The first1 semester the class was very small but as its meml� ers were doing such splendid work, other girls decided to join it and when the second semester began there were eleven enrolled. The class consists of Miss Wells, instructor; Henrietfe Klaisdell. Mar- garet Pusey, Esther Salilin, Minnie Cummings, Amy Woodburn, Julia Freund, Naomi Madden, Dorothy Deltush, Laura Wedlund, Grace Petey and Ncvrene Hamilton. football team Jfootfaall THE last football season of the Anacortes High School was from many viewpoints a successful one. As a result of the scores they made the highest record in years, winning five games, tying one and losing one. Football practice began the second day of school. A great many men turned out who had had little or no experience in football, so Coach Stephen- son had a great deal of training to supervise, but he set to work with a will and together with his skill and energy built up the team of widen everyone was proud. The first few weeks of work consisted of signal practice, tackling the dummy, scrimmage and so forth, to get the team hardened for the heavy work which was to come. On January 18th, in the assembly hall. Superintendent Fulton pre- sented letters to the following football men: Edward Laing (captain), Carl Larson, Francis Patten. Walter Schwartz, Rufus Webb, Chester Gilden, Zelvas Stone. Gilbert Erholra, Adolph Mesford. Koliert Bushey, Francis Short, Doris Hill, George Anderson and John Jordan. GAMES The first game of the season was played at Coupeville on October 15th. This was really only a practice game, as our boys lieat the Islanders 00 to 7. The second game of the season was not so easy. On October 22d, we played the Port Townsend eleven on our own field. Although they had the home team outweighed, they were defeated by the locals playing harder and better football. The game ended with the score 25-0 in our favor. The third game, which was also the first game of the county series was played against Mount Vernon on their own field on October 20th. It was a hard fought battle, but the purple and white again won—13-7. This was quite a notable event, as it was the first time Anacortes had won from Mount Vernon in years. The second county game on Xovemlier 5th, was an easy victory for us. We played Burlington on our own field and defeated them 54-7. The game with Wenatchee was the one to which the team looked forward with joy. I was played on Armistice Day on Wenatchee’s field. The field was dusty and the A. H. S. t oys. who had been used to mud and water, were greatly handicapped. This and superior weight combined to lw� at our team 00-0. The last game of the county series and also of the season was played on the local grounds November 10th. against Sedro-Wool ley. This game was to determine the county championship. The teams were evenly matched and equnllv desirous of winning the championship, so played for all that was in them. The final whistle blew with the score 0-0. A TAKEN FROM EXAMINATION PAPERS Bryant was important for his short stories. One of his important works is “The Pilgrim’s Progress.” The people in the North lived better. Their mode of living com- pared to ours now, showing that they didn’t have many luxuries. J3ops’ Basketball Ceam Raymond Pollock Edward Laing Harry Gillespie Coach Stephenson Carl Larson Walter Schwartz George Anderson Pops’ Pasfeettiall THE A. H. S. has indeed made a splendid record in basketball this year. Coach Stephenson displayed the same energy and determination to make a winning basketball team as he did in football, and the ma- chine which he turned out to fight for A. H. S. is an excellent example of his coaching ability, and one of which we can well be proud. The team not only won by far the majority of games played, but has an enviable record for clean, square, hard playing. Coach Stephenson emphasized the fact that it was better to lose fairly and squarely than to win by foul means.

At first the practice consisted principally of choosing two teams and having a game every night. As a rule the games were about even and in this manner Coach Stephenson was able to pick his l est players for the different positions. A numl er of players were disappointed on not making the positions they tried out for, but like good sports they took the places the coach gave them without grumbling. Others, as the warm weather approached, dropped out because of work at home. So the squad was finally reduced to ten men. Of the five letter men who turned out to play with the new recruits, three of them—Okerlund. Pearson and Cilden, had played on the team last year. The other two. Laing and Anderson, played in previous years. Okerlund, the captain, is a three-year letter man. A good deal of rainy weather was encountered at the beginning ot the season, but the men worked hard during good weather and got into shape with remarkable spe e el. The Anacortes High School Athletic Association spent one hundred and seventy-six dollars for baseball material such as bats, balls, suits, etc., so Coach Stephenson spared no pains to bring the team to such a shape that it would Justify the large expenditure made for equipment. The line- up, with a brief comment on each player, follows: INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS CRITICISM Garland Okerlund. captain and a good all around player. He has an excellent throw to second base. Edward Laing, pitcher: good not only because he is left-handed but also because he can handle the ball. Wesley Haynes, also a pitcher, and has an enormous amount of steam. Frank O’Brien, tin third pitcher, is extremely hard to hit. For a small fellow he cannot Ik beaten. Chester Gilden, as an all around player is a dandy, but he stars on first base. Frank Brown, second base; one whose playing ability is out of all proportion to his size. Edward Pearson, short stop, is like Brownie, short on size and long on ability. George Anderson, who operates from third base, holds down that im- portant position with excellent skill, and is also good at throwing to bases. Owen Rademacher, right field, Walter Russell, left field, and Kenneth Terry and Raymond Pollock alternately playing center field, are men who are hard to beat and show the lighting spirit which turns defeat into vic- tory. They are not only under the long llies but are exceeding efficient m backing up the infield. Amy Woodburn Bertha Leque Dorothy DeRush Lillian Anderson ©iris’ 2Saskrtball THE girls of the high school were anxious for the basket ball season to begin, so while the boys were still on the gridiron, the girls began preparing for the indoor game. Early in October Coach Kendrick called a meeting of all girls Interested in this sport and gave a talk on coaching and sportsmanship, after which they elected Anna Schwartz as captain for the year. The girls had only turned out three times when Miss Kendrick re- signed. thus leaving the team without a coach for almost three months, until after tin second county game. Then Miss Hagen took up the reins and whipped the team into a running pace. The teams turned out from this school in the last two years have lost only one game, but this year two games were given to opponents, which can be attributed to the lack of coaching the first part of the season; but nevertheless the team was one of the strongest in the county, losing only two games out of six. ANACORTES 18 EDISON 14 Jan. 13.—The first game of the season was a ruff and tumble af- fair, but it was the means of showing the locals their weak points, which they soon remedied by changing the positions of various players. After the game both teams were invited to a spread by the Edison players. Naturally they accepted. LA CONNER 1 AT A. H. S. 41 Jan. 20.—Anacortes met the visitors in a one-sided game, which was due to the inexperience of the La Conner team, for all of them were Fresh- men. but they took their defeat gamely In this game Woodburn and Leque showed their ability to cage the ball. ANACORTES HI AT HAMILTON Jan. 27.—The local girls made the long trip to Hamilton, where they defeated the team that had been trained by Miss Kendrick, Anacortes’ former coach. The Hamilton six used the underhand throw to good ad- vantage but it was not long before it became ineffective l eeause the locals Anna Schwartz Helen Jordan Lucile Lowman Miss Hagen soon became accustomed to this type of playing. This is the first year Hamilton entered the county series. BURLINGTON AT ANACORTES Feb 3.—This game showed the splendid team work the A. H. S. sex- tette had developed. Lowman and Schwartz in the center refusing to allow the ball to pass into the opponent’s court, giving their forwards plenty of shots. The visitors came back strong in the second half, but were unable to forge ahead, due to the fast checking of Jordan and DeRush. A. II. S. 7 AT SERDO-WOOLLEY 15 Feb. 10.—The game was one of the hardest fought contests of the season. The A. H. S. line was weakened when their crack guard, Anderson, was disqualified the second half. Fite then took the guard position, where she will no doubt In heard from next year. The locals’ forwards were too well covered to make shooting possible and the small gym was ahandicup. MOUNT VERNON 14 AT ANACORTES 12 Feb. 17.—This was the fastest game ever played on the home floor. The game ended 12 to 12 and the teams played until Mount Vernon made two points on fouls, thus winning the county championship. All through the game Mount Vernon could only gain their points from the foul line hut a game won on fouls fails to prove the superior ability of a team, but just the knack of one player being able to toss the ball into the basket from the foul line. This is the second year Anacortes and Mount Vernon have played a tie game. LETTERMEN VS. “LIFE” June 2.—The longest game that any team ever played is the game of “Life.” Those that are leaving the high school and are starting out to play this little game are Lillian Anderson, Amy Woodburn. Helen Jor- dan and Anna Schwartz. They have been coached for the coming game with “Life” by the little game of basket ball, they learned the fundamentals of all sports; play with all your might, don’t give up, shoot square, and take defeat with a smile. CAST OF SENIOR PLAY Mentor Class $lap “tTfje Rejuvenation of gunt itlarp” THE Class of ’22 presented a high grade and Intensely interesting play “The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary,” at the Empire Theatre, May 12, with great success. The play, extremely humorous in nature, is in three acts.

After a brief hut strenuous taste of New York’s high life. Aunt Mary returns to her own little love of a country nest, carrying with her many wonderful memories of her visit. At home the rejuvenated Aunt Mary cannot endure the slow country life, so sends for a New York maid from Burnette’s house. The maid “Granice ' who is Miss Burnette in dis- guise. after admitting her identity, and interesting Aunt Mary in New York, promises to marry Jack. Clover. Burnette and Mitchell 'all arrive npon the scene, bringing back memories of the party in New York.

But for some reason it was not until 1919 that the ship was really launched. They put on an enthusiastic crew composed of Bernadine Wiese, “Master,” Alice Westbrook. “Mate” and Helen Sundeen, “Engineer.” The first meeting of the “Association” did not progress very well. In October, 1920, a meeting was held in the Library where a ne ' crew was chosen. ELwood Davis was made “Mate” and Emma Jefferies, “Engineer.” The former “Master” was retained. The first port it loaded in was the Library, where a mixer was held with about forty Alumni present. The next landing was the Senior Alumni banquet. May 14, 1921, at the Presbyterian church. The ship is now nearing the next port, which will Ik the second an- nual Alumni-Senior Banquet. We hope that the good ship will never go aground or run on the rocks. Long may the Anacortes High School Alumni Association live and flourish.

It seems so sad that we shall see no more The good old school, which greatly we adore. It makes us blue, and sadness tills our heart That from this school we Seniors soon must part. So short the time since we were Freshmen green, And now in school no longer well be seen! When we were Frosh it seemed eternity Until the day when we would Seniors lx?. But now the time to graduate is near, We almost want to stay another year. Before us lies the open door of life, With all its joys, its sorrows, and its strife, The future lies ahead, we cannot know If well or not our streams of life will flow; Howe’er it be, this fact to us is known— That we shall reap whatever we have sown. BOOST Boost and the world boosts with you. Knock and you’re on the shelf. For the world gets sick of one who’d kick And wishes he’d kick himself. Boost when the sun is shining, Boost when it starts to rain. If you happen to fall don’t lie there and bawl. But get up and boost again. Boost for your own advancement. Boost for the thing sublime.

A circle is a round straight line with a hole in the middle. Posting means setting on a post. ■ journalism DURING the school year 1921-22, the publication of high school news, articles, items, etc., was handled through the two local papers. Instead of publishing a separate high school paper, the school co-operated with the publishers and as a result both the high school and the papers have been benefit ed. The preparation of the material for publication in both papers was put in the hands of the journalism class. The first semester there were eight in the class. Although the class was small, they took much interest in the work and showed good journalistic ability from the beginning. Under the supervision of Miss Warren some very excellent articles were turned out and the school is very proud of the distinction that the high school has made through the columns of the paper. Many words of praise have been heard commenting upon the excellent work of the journalism classes during the year. The staff was elected by the class and the following officers were chosen: Editor, Anna Schwartz; Assistant Editor, Theliua Minck; Managing Editor. Margaret Thompson. The high school section in the Citizen was christened “B’ys and Other Y’s,” and in the American “The Skyrocket.” Under these headings appeared each week the high school items. Each member of the class was given an assignment covering the different activities of the school or other items of school interest and each tried to write the article in form acceptable for publication. After the assignment had l een covered and checked over it was turned in for the publisher. All activities of the school were given a place in the school papers. Occasionally students not in the journalism class handed in poems, stories or other articles all of which were gladly re- ceived and given space in the columns of the paper. A few alumni sent in poems for publication, showing that the high school section was read with interest by former students. Through the generosity of the publisher of the American, the Sky- rocket space has been large enough to include all the material sent in each week and sometimes the amount was Quite extensive, but always proper consideration was given. Earl Kamhout, a member of the class who was connected with the Citizen, informed the class that the Citizen would give the school as much space as they could fill each week. This also was ap- preciated and the class endeavored to take advantage of these opportunities. The publishers of the papers have been very kind and considerate and have given the high school sections all that could be asked for. The students are very grateful to both papers for the interest taken in the school and the school in turn has tried to Ik fair and impartial to both papers. At the end of the first semester Thelma Minck severed her connection with the class as she had then completed a year's work in journalism. Ear- nest Means was elected to take her place. At the beginning of the new semester several new memlK rs came into the class. Fortunately there were several good typists in the class both semesters, who prepared the material for the printer. Sometimes it was necessary for students to work outside of the regular school hours in order to get the material to the printing office in time but they shouldered the responsibility and no words of com- plaint were heard. Early in the spring the “Senior Number” appeared. That week the regular staff turned over the publication to the seniors, who exhibited their journalistic ability. The result was very gratifying and the issue was a decided success. A few weeks later the Juniors, not to Ik outdone, took a hand at getting out an issue and their efforts were also crowned with success. They deserve much credit for their publication. The success of the two papers has been due to the work of every member of the class and the careful supervision of Miss Warren. ..v Cl)E J?onor ftoU EACH semester of the Anaeortes High School is divided into three periods of six weeks each.
