24 PHILENA FARRELL Post graduate in Commercial De- partment. 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.
