Four brief years of work and pleasures have flown on the speed- ing wings of time ere we realize our high school days are over and we must turn away. “Are we prepared, and for what,” we ask ourselves. Yet only the future can tell. “Deal kindly oh. Goddess of (imnce, in this our great undertaking.” Under the name of Washington’s chosen state flower,—the rhododen- dron—the Annual Staff has worked diligently in creating this book, and trust that it will be received with the same spirit of friendliness that has prompted its creation.

We’re for 1-9-2-4. To the Rhododendron Of all the flowers seen in Washington That bloom on mountain sides or in tin vale. Along tin stream or in the woodland trail. The fairest is the Rhododendron. With branches lifting high up to the sun. And leaves and flowers so dainty and so pale, In spring they raise their heads up to the hail I 'util the storm and gab has come and gone. And so to keep its honor and its fame. Yet still to keep it the emblem of our state. We now express our love, and thought, and fate. And place it in this l ook which bears its name. It tells about our school days and their fun— Be with us always Rhododendron. —Lyle Spradley, ’24. MILDRED F.

VOYAGE I do not know what life may bring. To compensate or woo me: What melodies the winds will sing. That blow their cleanness through me: What unimagined shores may rise Beyond the gusty sea. Somewhere beyond the crouching night. When I shall sail with eager eyes. To see what life may be. But whether there shall gleam a light Across the waters stormy. There waits some fortune for me: And I shall speed with bellied sail Ity winds of blackness blown. Alert to catch the eager hail. Of friends to guide me home. —Mildred Stanley. ’24. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY HEX the old school boll sent out its call early one September morning: in 1020. one hundred and eight Freshmen, the largest number ever enrolled in A. II. S., responded with the pep and vim which has characterized them all through high school. The first social event which the class of ’24 undertook in their Freshman year, a party for the Juniors and Seniors, was a rousing success. We came back Sophomores, diminished in number, but not in spirit. The vaudeville, put on in order to raise money for the annual, went over big. Another year rolled by. we came back—Upperclassmen! The Junior Prom., held at the Elk’s Home was one of the biggest events of the social calendar. The musical talent of our class was displayed to a great extent, seven Juniors taking parts in the high school operetta. As Seniors, we were responsible for the Senior Play, the Senior Ball and the high school Annual, all of which were eagerly looked forward to by everyone. The class of ’24 has always l eon well represented in all lines of athletics, by both l)oys and girls. Many of the stars in basketball, foot- ball and track, were members of this class. We look back over the years we have spent in the Anacortes High School with fellings of regret, love and admiration: wishing we had it all to do over again.—Gertrude Wittine. If you can keep your head when all about you Is paper wads, whispering ami often notes: If you can concentrate when others sit and joke. But make allowance for their silly jokes; If you can recite and not tire of so doing. Or of school mates’ braggings, vanities and shallow lie Or of being laughed at and not give way to laughing. And yet not look too good nor talk too wise: If you ask to speak, but not o’er do the privilege: Or write a quiz and let no noise disturb. If no teacher ever need assist you: If pupils talk with you but not too much: If you can fill the many passing minutes With sixty seconds worth of studying done: Yourls is the honor roll, and everything that’s in it, And—what is more—you’ll be some student—son Leon—“Doctor, can you cure me from snoring?” Doctor—I)o you snore in your sleep.’’ I.eon—“Yes. but I snore so loud that it wakes me up.” Doctor—“Well the best thing for that is to sleep in another room.” “IF” With Apologies to Kipling I.

In and out among the flowers. Dancing in their secret bowers. With their shining garments bright. Even more dazzling than the light. All day long they revel so. ’Till at night away they go. Through the air and on the breeze. Soon they're hiding in the trees. —C W. ’2d. I5IGS Farrell has a good Ford Bug. I lasse has one too. Duffy has a piece of one: They’re� awful things to view. To run a Bug it takes some gas. And sometimes tires run on some glass. The pistons slap, the engine knocks: You can hear them come for three whole blocks. These are the pleasures f a car. They never take you very far. The one who’s wise leaves them alone. Though he may have to walk far home. The Bug's proud owner’s always broke. Take it from me. it’s sure no joke. So take my advice and leave the cars. In the dealers’ windows where they are.

Almond JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY 3T WAS 5i warm, sunny clay in September. 1921, when the class of ’25 climbed the steps and entered upon the high road of knowledge, and enrolled in our famous Institution as “Freshies.” At first we were very meek and timid, and the Sophs., and upper-classmen tried to initiate us. but soon gave up in dispair, as the class spirit was too strong to tolerate any indignities. The first class meeting was held under the supervision of our worthy principal, Archie M. Connell. Miss Evans was elected as our class ad- visor. The class officers elected were: Stella Butler, president: Dorothy Jordan, vice-president: Langford White, secretary, and Derrill Kimnear. t rea surer. The first activity in which the class as a whole participated was a Freshman-Sophomore party given in the high school gymnasium, January sixth. 1922. The Freshman class was well represented in sill school athletics during its first year in the A. H. S. The next year, although our number was somewhat decreased, we were the same peppy bunch. The chief event of the Sophomore year was 5i party given for the “Freshies,” held January twenty-fifth. 1923. in the Elk's home which proved to be a very successful affair, and every one agreed that the Sophs were very good at entertaining. In 1922-23 the class was again well represented in athletics and in all school activities. Even on the debating team. Clayton Rogers, a Sophomore, was a member of the team, and Lucy Wittine, the alternate. The officers were: Clayton Rogers, president: Paul Shannon, vice- president: Kenneth Kackley, secretary, and Dorothy Jordan, treasurer. Miss Evans was again chosen advisor for the year, and it was largely due ro her great efforts that we succeeded in sill our activities. This year we became upper-classmen—Juniors!! As we entered the remodeled school building it seemed as though we were entering a new world. We decided that we would make this si red letter year and started out with much enthusiasm and. judging from the wonderful success of our class, we have kept to our resolution. The Juniors have starred in all forms of athletics. Our social affairs this year have followed the traditions of the school. The annual Junior Mixer was held in the Eagle’s hall. November ninth. 1923. and a good time was had by all. We proudly upheld the dignities of our position by giving the Junior Prom, which proved to be the best Prom given in the history of the A. H. S. It was a Dutch affair and the Elk's home, where it was given, was tastefully decorated in Dutch blue and gold. This year the entire debate team was made up of Juniors! Marjorie Wilson. Marion Souliere. and Clayton Rogers, with Dorothy Cram, the alternate. They showed the old class spirit in all of their work, and although they weren’t always victorious, they promise a one hundred per cent, team next year and we know that it will be ji winning team. During the past year the following have served as class officers: Langford White, president : Stella Butler, vice-president: Catherine Lands- borough. secretary, and Paul Shannon, treasurer. Miss Brethorst was chosen class advisor and Miss Bewle.v. roll teacher. We hope to keep up our past good record in the remaining events of the schoolyear and maintain the lead which we have at tin present time. We hope to continue to manifest a loyal school and class spirit and to show a hearty co-operation in striving to P PAGE MISSING PAGE MISSING JUNIOR POEM To me the task lias fallen, The Junior poem to write; And so I sit and ponder, And think with all my might. Ah! Here comes a little fairy! To me perhaps she'll tell. The secrets of verse writing And how to do it well. She says, lirst thing in order. Is to tell the things we’ve done. To tell of our ambitions, Also honors that we’ve won. So give me your kind attention And I'll relate to you, The doings of this lively class: (I assure you they are true.) Our Junior Mixer, and also Prom, Were both a complete success! They left behind them words of praise And much of happiness. In basket ball we did our best— Our class was represented— As every one could plainly see. When the letters were presented. Put these victories are understood. If you’ll just take time to reflect, What a snappy bunch the Juniors are And how they've gained respect. What «-lass is so full of pep and dash? What class is always alive? Why ask the question, since we all know? ’Tis the class of ’25. This class is noted for its sportsmanship— For it’s pluck, it’s vigor and vim! And we all hold in our hearts—one wish. That its colors may never grow dim. So here’s to the class of ’25! May its banner never be furled ! Always a credit to A. II.

Could anything but honor, success, and fame be the foture f a class so thoroughly organized, so well represented in all fields of activity, and so determined to attain the heights of success toward which their ideals and ambitions lead them? In basketball, two Sophomore boys, Harold Olson and Ainsworth Krueger, and three Sophomore girls. Elgie Jordan. Dorothy Jordan and Ethel Cartwright received their letters at the end of the season. The class was represented in football by John I Iasse, Chester Mondhan, Almond Valentine and Ainsworth Krueger; in baseball, by Henry Babarovich, Bussell Hansen and Herbert Johnson. The Sophomores who played in the high school orchesta ae: Inez Jackson, Sheridan Okerlund, Azilda BurgCtt, Orville Rumsey and John Hasse. At the beginning of their Freshman year the sophs numbered eighty- one. and at the beginning of their Sophomore year, the number bad de- creased to seventy-eight. Total loss of three. Let us hope that, each year, the number of drop-offs will be as few. Eventually, when the Sophomore class graduates, it will be broken up. and its members divided among different parts f the world. There will l� e the end of the sophomore class as far as the actual class is con- cerned, but each member has the i ep, strength, and courage that character- izes the whole class, and when they go out into the world, the same spirit will go with them. So. though theh sophomore class will not always exist, in reality, its spirit will live forever.

Brave and fearless, strong and bold It’s a class that stands out from the rest, Never failing in any test.

A winning basketball or football team is never made in a year, neither is a debate team. To have a winning team a school must have good material and the interest of the school behind the debaters and the coach. When students take a deep interest in debate and continue their work faithfully and earnestly, then the school may be sure of a team that will bring home the honors. Next year we should have such a team, for all the members of this year’s team are Juniors, and much is expected of them for the. coining year. The first debate was held December 12, 1923. at Anacortes, with Arlington. The lineup was—Luella Hansen, Dorthy Stewart, Clayton Rog- ers. Anacortes negative, 1. January 14. 1924, Anacortes at Sultan. The lineup was—Clayton Rogers, Marion Souliere, Marjorie Wilson. Anacortes affirmative, 3. February 15, 1924, Lake Stevens at Anacortes. The lineup was— Marion Souliere. Marjorie Wilson. Clayton Rogers. Anacortes negative, 1. March 14. 1924, Anacortes at Burlington. The lineup was—Marion Souliere. Marjorie Wilson, Clayton Rogers. Anacortes affirmative, 1. “Nndie me quiero,” warbled the Spanish student joyfully when re- hearsing for I heir assembly. “Dear me,” sighed Miss Bewley, you aren’t doing it right at all. This is supposed to he sad : now he sad, or this won’t he a success.” Miss Bewley had a great deal of trouble making us melancholy in rehearsal, hut it happened that we gave our program on the same day that we received our report cards. Was it strategy or just pure luck that our program fell on such a day of cheerlessness and sad hopes, and was a pronounced success because of iho air of melancholy it spread over all? A Spanish class there was with each student. That was Passing Fair. Even as You and I. Each day they came in and sat with a grin. On a little yellow chair; And as they sat there they breathed a prayer. Even as You and I. Fourteen pupils were there with a teacher. In a high backed chair. The tests they took: how they shook. And wished the teacher had their misery to share, Even as You and I. Their backbones felt like a piece of wet string. Their feelings could cope with the dampness of Spring, Even as You and 1. The teacher was kind when you did mind. And all your translations could find. But—when you couldn’t what she did—Tell? I shouldn’t, but she was human. Even as You and I. But Mondays were awful, the Tuesdays were too: The teacher felt sleepy and the students felt blue. They thought they did good when they sat up all night: And studied Spanish ’till broad daylight. Even as You and I. But the tale ends good, ns it should : The students did pass from Spanish for good. The teacher was happy that things went so snappy. Even as You and I. SENIOR CLASS PLAY THE “HOTTENTOT” SENIOR CLASS PLAY “The Hottentot” The ’‘Hottentot,” the Senior Class production was presented before two appreciative audiences, in the afternoon and evening of May 10. at the Empire Theatre. The play, under the direction of Miss Ruby Swanson, was the most successful and i opular one ever produced by the High School. The lines abounded in clever dialogues and humor, the scenes were set amidst unusually interesting settings, and the plot was well developed. The “Hottentot,” is the story of a young gentleman of leisure. Sam Harrington, who, in order to make a favorable impression upon the girl he loves, permits himself to be introduced as the famous steeplechase rider of the same name. In order to live up to the expectations of the girl, he is forced to ride the Hottentot, a horse renowned for its viciousness, in a steeplechase in which lie wears the colors of his beloved. However, all ends well; Sam wins the race and the trophy cup, and receives as his reward, the girl. for whom he has risked his life. The cast was as follows: Mrs. Gilford (Mae) Ollie Gilford.......

Caesar’s Gallic Wars. Then we were repaid for all we had learned in the first year by being prepared to translate Caesar. We learned how Caesar subdued his barbarous enemies and received ambas- sadors and how he built his bridges. Latin is sometimes termed as a dead language but if you take it with our class, you will find it very nfuch alive. We feel now. as our class is about to part that we are well equipped to meet life’s battles just as Caesar met his opponents and conquered. The enemy to be to tight at camp sunset. From home set out the cavalry two ways. The journey difficult they went three days. Provisions not they were able to get.

Your papers are pub lished and read all over the city and in other parts of the county Truly you are a power to he reckoned with. The work of the journalism class has been to publish the school paper and follow the prescribed course of study as to the technique of all phases of writing. Active work on the Skyrocket began during the second week of school, and has continued until the present time. The department is now issuing the largest paper that has ever been published under the jurisdiction of the high school. The class under the direction of Mrs. Chamberlen, has taken up writ- ing in practically every Held of journalism, and because of the thorough drill upon the fundamentals of writing, each member feels himself prepared to go out into the newspaper world and give a good account of himself. _____________ —N.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT MpirXDER the able direction of Mrs. Grace Lincoln Burnam. the Music Ifrj Department contributed greatly toward the social life of the A. H. S. during tin year 102.3-1024. At tin teachers’ reception given early in the school year the orchestra greeted the guests on the first floor with musical selections. Later in tin evening, after the building had been in- spected, a program was given on the second floor when the boys’ quar- tette. (ilee Club, Orchestra and several teachers, contributed toward the entertainment. During National Music Week. May 4 to 10. twenty minutes each morn- in were devoted to music. Each day tin Junior ami Senior High assem- bled and had community singing followed by special features. Monday singing by the Junior High Glee Club when it made its first appearance. Tuesday, a violin solo, by Vernon Jackson from the Whitney School. Wed- nesday. singing by the Senior High Glee Club. Thursday a dance by a group from tin Whitney School in cat-tail costumes, giving a sketch from the “Posy Bed.” which was to be presented at Causland Park on the fol-. lowing afternoon. Friday., selections by the orchestra including an overture from “Carmen.” Under the new state law. giving credit for outside music study, sixteen piano and violin students have received credit toward graduation. The members of the Glee Club, orchestra, quartette and every other student who has in any way taken part in the musical activities of the A. II. S. are to be commended for their splendid work and co-operation which they have shown in making this year one of the most brilliant of our high school. Miss Geneva Perry, formerly of the Lincoln High School, of Seattle, and of the University of Washington, and at the present an assistant teach- er in the Burnam School of Music, composed the words and music 'of the high school song and presented it to the High School. Immedi- ately this new song became popular among tin students and is highly-ap- preciated by them. All the activities of tin Music Department appreciated the enthusi- astic support which has been given them by tin entire student body. Left to right: Derril Kinnear. first tenor: Leon Crawford, second tenor; Paul Shannon, first bass, and Robert Farrell, second bass. ROYS’ QUARTETTE The quartette, consisting of Derril Kinnear, first tenor, Leon Craw- ford, second tenor, Paul Shannon, first bass, Robert Farrell, second bass, directed by Mrs. Burnam has been very popular during the year not only in the high school but also in the local town affairs. The quartette presented a minstrel show at the A. II. S. Carnival which proved a prominent feature. Donald Fee acted as Interlocutor, Lawrence Nicholson, I angford White, and John Hasse assisted as Henry, Mandy and the Barker. All except the Barker were in black face and the minstrels sang in full dress suits. The singing and jokes were snappy, and Langford White, dressed as a coal black Mandy, added some clever dancing. Besides appearing I efore the assembly on various occasions, the quartette sang at the Teachers’ Reception early in the school year when the remodeled building was open to tin public for the first time; the Rotary Club. Football Banquet, given at the A. II. S. domestic science rooms; the Presbyterian church Banquet which was given by a Sunday School class of young ladies in order to secure a pipe organ fund for the church: and at the Summit Park benefit, which was also given to aid the organ fund for the church. Several other members from the high school gave numbers there. I eon Crawford has been a popular soloist in both town and school affairs. For the last four years he has had leading parts in the operettas and will Ik� greatly missed in all musical activities. Robert Farrell has also been popular in operetta roles, and his clever parts will be hard to fill. Deril Kinnear and Paul Shannon have appeared as soloists at many social, musical, and church affairs, Derril having lieen engaged as a soloist at the Empire Theatre and Paid holding a position as bass in the Presbyterian church choir. The greatest event of the Glee Club this year was the operetta, “The Yokohoma Maid.” by Arthur Penn, which was successfully presented at the Empire Theatre on Friday, February 21). There was a performance in both the afternoon and the evening, which was greeted by a capacity house. Mrs. Burnam supervised the music, Miss Stach the dramatics and staging, Miss Hartman the dancing, Miss Brethorst business, and Miss Beach the costuming. The stage was beautifully decorated with Japanese lanterns, cherry blossoms and smilax, under the supervision of Miss Bew- ley. The scene of the story was laid in Japan with Japanese and American costuming.

Eve ten cars were secured to take the stu- dents of the Glee Club to visit the hospital and other parts of the town bringing cheer to many shut-ins by singing old Christmas carols . From the Glee Club fund a Miessner piano was purchased for the music room which is of great value to the students in practicing for various events after school and during school hours. Two hundred copies of Favorite Songs and fifty chorus books were purchased and a gift of money was made to the Athletic Association. Several cars. chai crnnod by Miss Stach and Mrs. Burnam. motored to Coupeville on March 7. to enjoy the operetta presented by the Coni eville High School Glee Club.

While a student at the University of Washington he is a concert master of the University orchestra and violin soloist with the Glee Club. He spends each week end in Anacortes teaching and directing the High School orchestra. He is an accredited violin teacher and has created a great deal of interest in orchestra this year. There have been several more members added, closing the year with fourteen mem- bers.

The Junior class colors of blue and gold were in great abundance and at the ends of the hall large ’25’s were very much iu evidence. The electric lights were covered with blue and gold, which shed rainbow tints over the room. The committee: Marjorie Wilson, chairman; Catherine Landsborough, Dorothea Pollock, Ijiwrence Nicholson and Paul Shannon put on a very good program. The first number was stunts by the various classes which tin Sophomores won by a clever version of school life.

SOPHOMORE PARTY Jl lIK Sophomore-Junior party, given by the Sophomores in the high tIL school building ou Friday evening. April 4. was a never-to-be-forgotten ' incident in the lives of both Juniors and Sophomores. The party was oriental and the entertainment, decorations and refreshments followed this plan as closely as possible.

The following Creed has boon Adopted by the Associated Student ®°dy of the High School. A reward of $10 was offered to the three upi or classes by the superintendent, Mr. Merrinmn, and captured bv the Junior Class. CREED I l elieve, as a member of a true democracy, and as a student of the Ana cortes High School, that 1 should be loyal to my school under all cir- cumstances in which her cause is right ; that I should keep the High School Pledge; that 1 should be courageous in all my undertakings; cour- teous, considerate, just at all times; and willing to sacrifice selfish interests for the general good of the school. 1 should strive to be truthful and honest, no matter what tempta- tions may allure me from the right; prompt and gracious in obedience; re- spectful to my elders: too noble to speak ill of others, and willing to for- give and forget. I believe in the joy of service; in the present and its opportunities; that a moment lost in idleness may never be regained. 1 shall strive to do unto others as I would have others do unto me. 1 shall hold to a high standard of true sportsmanship throughout my life’s long game, that when the final whistle blows, my record shall be unmarred and untainted by any unsportsmanlike action. 1 shall do all these things that 1 may develop into a worthy citizen of my country and that 1 may deserve the honor and praise of my school. —Dorothea Pollock, '25. HKtll SCHOOL PLEIXiK I pledge loyalty to my high school. May her good name ever be unsullied: may her fame be great for industry; for high ideals and clean living: for useful progress, and for all that goes to make life courageous and happy. f'OMIXM TIIKOI (HI THE HI If a body meet a body, coming through the HI.

Recollections of a Brave Man Tl I AH on a warm summer day, the tem| erature ranging from 125 j| to 140 in the shade, in the jungles of the heart of Africa, that I had my many wonderful adventures with the wild beasts of that country, and my many experiences with the savages of that wild and wooly place. I was, since a lad, a man of great courage: in fact, I l elieve I had three quarters of all there was. 1 was absolutely fearless, and as brave as they make them; I was blood thirsty. Always had 1 craved the hide of some wild animal. On this same summer day. my native guides and I set out on our Journey to hunt wild animals. Now as it happened, when we were many miles out in the heart of the jungles, breaking through a practically new trail. I sotted some tracks, lion tracks, deep in the soft earth. Shouting for joy, 1 sped on. We had not gone fifty feet when territfie roar was heard that made the hair on the heads of the natives stand on end; of course I was accustomed to this as I once belonged to a circus. Ahead on a huge log stood a great monster lion; he was certainly the grandfather of the king of beasts, his great huge head was covered with a mass of long straggling yellow hair, through which shone two piercing yellow eyes. He was ready for a leap: back and forth his long tail lashed about; he roared continuously. 1 laughed up my sieve when 1 thought of his useless actions, for after one shot the jungle monarch bit the dirt and moved no more. I vns much pleased over this little incident and packed the skin on the back of the negro guide and proceeded on my way. Strange it was, but 1 still had a craving for bigger game, nothing would please me letter than to meet an elephant or a boa constrictor. It was not until ihe next day that I had the pleasure of battling for my life with a huge snake that measured fifty feet in length and twelve inches in diameter. The huge reptile was hanging from the limb of a giant Robah tree, his great orange and black striped body glistening in the sunlight. The hypnotic green beady eyes stared at me: it would have hypnotized any other person. His l ody was cold as ice and slick as glass: a fearfus sight to behold. Rack and forth he swung from the limb, his long red tongue darting within a few inches of my keen level gaze. Raising my rifle. 1 put those� miserable looking eyes out forever. Rack and forth his great tail lashed, knocking down natives and thin growth of frees and brush about him. I was then in my prime and very strong: so running forward 1 grasped the reptile by the neck and slashed off his head with my pocket knife. 1 must say also, that it was here that I ate my first snake steak, fried in monkey grease. As we were hungry it tasted very good. My natives were very much afraid and marvelled at my skill and courage. Still 1 was not quite satisfied with my killings, and as 1 went along I jHipped monkeys and gorillas out of the frees for target practice. During that day 1 met many other animals, such as wild boar, giraffes, panthers, and various others: but these are just trifles and need not lx taken in detail. Rut the elephant was quite an interesting kill. The monster came crashing through tin brush and took us unawares. He was eerfninlv the rival of any mastodon that ever trod the earth. My natives fled for their lives, to trees and for shelter. Seeing that 1 was alone. 1 felt I must stand my ground. 1 dodged behind a tree Just to fool the monster. 1 watched him as he plunged around tearing up trees with his great trunk, he stepped on one of mv natives with his huge foot: wash rubs would have made excellent shoes for him. His great dirty grey body swayed around and faking his tusks he plowed up enough 24 j earth to bury six men. I fired seven shots from my high poperecl rifle, and he crashed to the earth. The fall shook the earth for a mile aronncl. jarring me considerably. As it was getting dark, we decided to go on and make a camp, hut on our way we unluckily fell in with a hand of savages: not tin soup pot kind, but those who merely desire a various collection of human skulls. These savages came after us yelling and flashing their huge knives and spears: my natives again fled, and once again I stood alone in danger. On they came, and I. dodging spears and knives as fast as possible, raised my rifle and dropped them one by one until only a great silence prevailed. The dead bodies were heaped about me like so much kindling. Well, so much for that, and I went into camp; but I still had failed to bag a tiger. The morning of the next day, I was sleeping soundly when a monster tiger leaped upon me. he had crawled under flu tent flap and attacked me when I was off my guard. 1 thought 1 had seen the last of my adventures in Africa, for I could feel his hot breath upon my throat, his hot savage eyeballs burned through me like coals, his dagger like claws seemed to pierce my very inwards and his dripping fangs pressed closer to my throat, as though searching a spot where the life blood was warmer and sweeter—Good-bye cruel world. I had seen my last days. I feebly raised my hand, hoping to stay the fatal crunch that would end all. To my horror, no silky fur met my fingers, no bulky shape loomed before my rapidly glazing eyeballs; only a tiny figure lay upon my bodv. its tail wagging with joy and paens of happy yelps issuing from It;' canine throat. There upon me. jumping up and down and frolicking over my coverlet like the proverbial lamb of Spring, was no other than (Hercules� mv midget flea hound.. Mv adventures were over and I turned over for my usual morning imp. while the odor of Mother’s pancakes floated up to me in my little attic room. —Donald H. Fee. 25.

Miss Carter, a graduate of the University of Washington was in charge. The course was made up of the study of the common gases and ores. Three days a week were devoted to recitation and lectures. The other two days were for laboratory work. Many very interesting experiments were performed such as the preparation of chlorine gas. hydrogen sulphide—pleasant odor did you say? __carbon dioxide for a lire extinguisher and the action of acids on metals. Special work for the first semester was the writing of essays on some chemical problem. These essays were written in connection with the American Chemical prize essay contest. Five of the essays were selected by Miss Carter and entered in the c. ntest. A first prize of twenty dollars was offered for the lK st essav in the state . Some of the subjects written on were: “Chemistry and Its Relation to Medicine.” and “Chemical War- fare.” These essays were to create more interest in Chemistry. The second semester each student was required to perform a special experiment. These proved to be very interesting and some very good results were obtained. The students were allowed to select their own special problems. Some of the problems chosen were: making of dyes, wood stains, concrete, perfume, alcohol, wax and bleaching powder. That the students thoroughly enjoyed their work was plainly shown by the class spirit and good fellowship that prevailed throughout the year. every day occurrences Paddy and Lyle appropriating apparatus someone has carelessly left ibout. Luella Iwnrowing someone’s compact. Philip Laurie—U’m. well. Esther brushing the hair out of her eyes in order to see. Robert and Leon in an argument over where tin alcohol lamps are.

INDUSTRIAL Public school training must, of necessity, be directed toward the pro- dud ion of more intelligent and more skillful producers and consumers of the commodities of life. The reflection should govern the character and meth- ods of school work in industrial arts. Intelligent appreciation and skill are to be acquired in the greatest possible degree. These must be acquired in degree beyond the standards of a particular trade to warrant a place for the Industrial Arts in the public schools. This does not mean that the schools can turn out finished tradesmen of a superior sort. It does mean that the boy who has followed a study of industrial arts in school has developed certain conceptions and skill, which will ultimately raise the standards of choice and production in which they are engaged. They are equipped to become superior users and producers of the economic society in which they live. Incidentally, such work helps them to find themselves in society and to take their part in it with less painful adjustment between the school and their life work. Actually, it helps them to develop their talents and abilities to the best service of society. THE MANUAL TRAINING CLASS Here's to the Manual Training Class. The gallant men who learn so fast. The art of drawing and use of tools: The men who make the most of schools. This little group of ignorant men, Who started in with ink and pen. And finished up by whittling wood. The “would he’s” then, that never could. These men work with might and main. To see what every hour can gain. They strive to do the l est they can. To make themselves successful men. They’ve made the table, chair and chest; Their workmanship was of the best. They used the chisel, saw and tacks, The hammer, drill, the plane and ax. They are the men who will some day. Be at the top. with better pay. They’ll rule the world and seeds they’ll plant, To see results; they ne’er say can’t. They started from the lowest plane. They rose to fortune and to fame, Thev set an example for other young men. To start in school, with ink and pen. DOMESTIC SCIENCE CLASS serving meals in the out the year. The Responsible pupils Freshman work the to the local branch JTllK Home Economics department, at present, consists of a three year i jy course, the third year's work having l oen added this year.

A beginning study of flu wardrolte is made, which is continued in tin second year’s work. Si eeinl attention is given to suitable dress for high school girls. The story of silk and wool, principles of design, and dressmaking make up the second year’s course. Experiments in the removal of stains is also an important phase of the work. The third year’s work includes the study of houses, furnishings, sanitation and advanced cooking and sewing. A new event of the year was the fashion show given in the Senior Assembly during Commencement Week, (lirls from tin� eleventh grade had charge of this, representatives front tin other classes assisting. The affair represented an afternoon tea. to which the girls wore the dresses they had made in the sewing classes. Afterwards tea was served in the Do- mestic Science rooms, where the rest of the work was on exhibit. In cooking. Oh it was a sight! To see the girls in aprons white. Their fingers plunged deep into tin� dough, working briskly to and fro. From biscuits brown to cookies fair they knew exactly how to prepare.

Many turned out, full of pep and enthusiasm and anxious to begin real practice. About two weeks later the lirst turn out was held in the Elks gymnasium, which had been rented for the season. After that they practiced for an hour and a half every night. Some good material was worked up and with hopes for a successful season, the girl3 went into it for all they were worth, even to the extent of sacrificing sweets and late hours. Three practice games were played before the regular county series began, and things began to look very promising. The season was not very successful from a win and lose point of view, three games out of eight being lost, but the girls feel that they have gained much and lost nothing as far as the experience in life as well as the game is concerned. It was harder to lose three games than to win the five. It took more courage to smile through the defeat. Those who are leaving the team this year are: Julia Freund, (Jer- trude Wittine and Lucille Lowman. They are starting out to play the game of life and through this season's Imsketball have learned the funda- mental principles of that longest and hardest game of all— Play square, with all your might, don’t give up until the final whistle blows and take defeat with a smile.” THE SEASON'S GAMES December 21—Anaeortes 24. at Coupeville 13.

February 15—Mount Vernon 32. at Anaeortes 21. Anaeortes was at a disadvantage in this game because of the necessary shifting of players at the last minute.

In un OKI Fashioned Garden m THIS special golden day 1 entered the old fashioned garden which skirted the side of the house and seated myself on a low marble bench which was placed next to a wall practically hidden by Virginia creeper and tall, majestic hollyhocks. Before me was spread a perfect shower of rainbow colors. I sat gazing at the beautiful handiwork of nature when—surely I had heard a tiny voice speaking—but no! how foolish of me to imagine such a thing. It had only been the buzzing of two Ihhis which had alighted in the blossoms of one of the hollyhocks nearby. But—listening closely—I could distinguish words, and this is what I heard. There is Balm of Gilead for Weeping Willow and the tender Bleed- ing Heart’ Sweet William is a bachelor and leads a lonely life; he is looking for a Daisy to love and make his wife.

With but three letter men hack this year, Coach Stevenson moulded a pretty fair team. Although very light, our team played and out-fought teams that averaged twenty pounds more to the man. The following men turned out and even though all of them could not make the first team, they stayed throughout the season and gave the first team the necessary competition.

Fairhaven U—Anacortes 0 Fairhaven journeyed down here rarin’ to go. hut by the time the game was over, they were more anxious to rare home than any place else. In this game the A. II. S. showed a great deal of improvement over tin last game and put up a great fight, hut nevertheless the South Btllingham lads went home with the bacon. Oak Harbor fi—Anacortes 0 This was the first trip for the A. II. S. Football squad. George Abbey, former A. II. S. star was coaching the Oak Harbor lads and the gang was determined to put it over on Ahliey’s pr teges. The line played a wonderful game that day and the around playing of Farrell. Souliere and Pearson, Anacirtes hacks, was a feature. Coupeville 7—Anacortes 0 The second trip we had was to Coupeville, where we played the Island county champions a return game. Either the boat ride or the eats must have had some effect on the squad, because the islanders romped fi with a second victory. ‘AVliat is the meaning of the word lukewarm’ Paddy?” asked the teacher in the Physics class. “Lukewarm.” replied Paddy, “is when it looks warm, hut ain’t.” SENIOR HIOII ROYS’ BASKET BALL TEAM Standing, loft to right : Andoraon.

Senior High Basket Ball Just as soon as we put away our football togs, we looked forward to our next best line of sports, basket ball. As the school had no gymnasium the Elk’s Hall was rented for the season. Quite a number of men responded to Coach Black’s initial practice, among them four of last year's letter men. Kreuger and Souliere turned out for their old positions at forward; lVarson played his second year at center, and Shannon was back for his old position at guard. Besides these four letter men, a numlier of last year’s second team men turned out. making bids for various first team positions. Games played were: Concrete 5—Anacortes 22; Concrete 7—Anacortes 25; Edison 25- Anacortes 15; I a Conner 24—Anacortes 18; Hamilton 21 —Anacortes 20; Burlington 15—Anacortes 14; Sedro-Woolley 14—Anacortes 17; Mount Vernon 50—Anacortes 21.

After a few weeks of stiff training the squad was ready for the county track meet which was held at Burlington • on May 2.'1. and made a good showing. The following men turned out for the different positions on the team: Shannon—Shot and Discus; Moe—Shot and Discus; Kreuger—Mile and Half-mile: Souliere—Dashes; Pearson—Javelin; Kasch—High and Broad Jump; Farrell—Dashes; White—Mile and Half-mile. Shannon was high point man for Anacortes at the meet, winning first place in the shot and javelin and third in the discus. White won third in the half-mile and mile runs. Souliere placed second in the fifty-yard dash. M°e had hard luck in the shot put, losing third place bv half an inch. Although ( ouch Black had little material to work with this year, ho turned out a good track team and with most of the men hack next year we should put out a winning team. H 2M The Junior High School IT' HE Junior High School is a comparatively recent form of school or- ganization. It is a plan of organization which is lacing rapidly adopted throughout the country. The complete organization of a school sys- tem including a Junior High is generally as follows. A Primary depart- ment, consisting of the first three grades; an Intermediate department, consisting of grades four, five, and six; a Junior High, consisting of the seventh, eighth, and ninth years of school work; and a Senior High School, consisting of the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. This is the form of organization for the Anncortes public schools at the present time. The object of the Junior High plan of organization is to bridge the gap between the grades and the high school. The compulsory school laws apply to pupils until they finish the eighth grade. Consequently all over the country there is a very heavy loss of students after the close of the eighth grade. There probably always will In that condition at that stage of school life. Hut the Junior High plan establishes a unit of school life, in which the students become accustomed to high school methods of recit- ing and to the departmental plan of work. They have a goal for gradua- tion with their class from the Junior High, close� at hand. This tends to hold them for the extra year beyond the eighth grade. Then they gain some of the high school spirit and this influences some of them to remain in school to finish the Senior High courses. Thus it is the result of the Junior High organization to hold a greater number of students in the high school. Statistics inform us that this is one of the actual results of the Junior High plan. Our own Junior High was organized in the beginning of the school .vear 1923-1924. During the summer of 1923 the High School building, (the Columbia School) was remodeled with the Junior and Senior High in view. The result has been very flattering to the new plan. Our Junior enrollment for the first year amounted to a total of 340. Some students dropped out during the year, but a large proportion of the eighth grade pupils returned to enroll in the Ninth grade and the great majority of these continued in school throughout the year and are now expecting to continue on in their high school work in the Senior High. Our Junior High has its own class organizations, its own principal, its own corps of teachers, and its own assembly and recitation rooms. Next jear there will 1m� ten teachers including the principal, and an estimated at- tendance of nearly 4(H) students in the Anacortes Junior High. 2 i JUNIOR HIGH CLASS ROLL Freshman.

The passion of his anger slowly smouldering and her latest move threatened to bring that warmth to fire. She stood resolute, immovable in the path of his visions, and in those innocent big brown eyes there danced a pleading mute appeal. She simply could not go along the path he had lead her. Her whole fibre called for the healthy green of the open country; her rest lay in quietness and peace far away from the new racking pathways of life. Rut the lad was determined. She had gone too far and there must In no turning back. Again he tried to pull her around but it was no use— The darned old cow simply would not move. HOW TO CHEW GUM Dedicated to Rill Krebs First of all. go to a store and take a nickle. Then go up to the store keeper and say politely, “A package of gum, please.” After that go to school, and wait until the classes begin; take a stick of gum out of the package, unwrap it, put the wrapping paper on the floor, then carefully insert the stick of gum into your mouth, and start chewing so as to make the gum soft and sticky. Keep your jaws working until the teacher dis- covers that you are chewing gum. and makes you put it. after all your hard work, into the basket where you can’t get out for fear of getting the wrong gum (for there is always plenty of discarded gum there). Keep up this process, and at the end of six weeks, you will find that your deportment is where it should be. OUR SCHOOL Let them say whate’er they will. Of our school upon the hill, I et them rail, Let them wail, Rut for her we’ll never fail; For we love our dear old high school It is hard to tell just why, Rut it’s your school and it’s my school, Dear old Anacortes High! We may wander far away, From our school house near the bay, Rut the tie Of our Hi. We can’t break them if we’d try, Rinds us all until we die; We are bound with ties of friendship. For this school-love, none can quench it, Soul of Anacortes Hi. —D. P., '25.

THE BENEFITS OF AN EDUCATION An education is necessary to help us to live cleaner, healthier, hap- pier, and better lives. An education is necessary to enable us to converse correctly with people in the business and social worlds, to teach foreigners how to speak, vend and write, and to become good, loyal citizens of the United States of America. We do not want an uneducated person to vote. He does not know the character nor qualifications of the person for whom he is voting. The future of a nation depends upon the education of her boys and girls. Education is necessary to run a good, sound, strong govern- ment. The business world of a nation would fail without the help of edu- cated people. Educated people make better homes for their children than those who have not had the opportunity or were not willing to go to school. Good homes make a good nation. A nation can be no greater than its people, so let us prepare ourselves for better living.

Junior High School Athletics The work of developing future material for the High School has lM‘en highly emphasized by Coach Black this year. The exceptional ability developed in the Freshman and Midget teams is sure to furnish the high school teams next year with some winning material. The first team that was whipped into perfection was the Junior High School foot ball team. back of experience caused these youthful slurs to lose their first game to Burlington by a score of 18 to 0. By the never-ceasing ambition of these young gridders. and by constant drill and practice, the team was placed in condition for a hard battle at the next game with Burlington. This battle was fought and won by a mere margin of (I to 7. A few other games with inferior teams followed. The close of the season, however, gave the boys no chance to be idle, as the basketball schedule was awaiting its fulfillment. The season afforded great excitement for the team that the coach called: “The Diamond in the Rough.” The team organized under the name of “Midgets.” Although the boys weighed only about one hundred twenty pounds, they were every ounce light. The first game was with Edison who beat them by a small score—the first and last defeat of the season. Two weeks of additional practice placed the team in condition to win over some of the lH st Midget teams of the county, including Mount Vernon, Burlington and Sedro-Woolley. It was a bright morning that the veterans of this successful tean were summoned to the front of the room to receive their letters. To all of the boys this first experience was indeed sensational, but the sympathetic admirers managed to overlook the shaking knees and trembling voices as •hey made an effort to contribute a few words of appreciation to their audience. Due to the success and spirit of the team, the faculty held a banquet in their honor. As many of the faculty and players as could possibly be present were there, as well as the officers of the Student Body Associa lion. Many short but eloquent speeches from both students and faculty members added to tin enjoyment of the occasion, which was greatly appre- ciated by the teams and coaches. Owing to lack of material for the high school team. Coach Stephenson considered it wise to make no division in baseball. Consequently, the boys all turned out for the first team, and the batteries for high school as well as others consisted of Junior High School players. The close of a success- ful season finds the Junior l� oys anticipating an eventful season next year. ______________ —Iver Moe. THE MANUAL TRAINING CLASS In Manual Training they work like sin.
