But wait! I feel some new’ feet. How light and care-free they seem! It must be the new class I heard them talking about. Here it is the last day of school before Christmas, and all are flocking towards the gym. I hear those new students are giving a play. It’s the end of the semester. Just see the number of Freshmen on the honor roll! That’s certainly more than I usually see there. Now it’s January and theyr’e having P. T. A. But why all the excite- ment? Ah, I see. The Freshmen are going to put on a program. And now it’s time for the February P. T. A. and everyone is excited as before. The Freshmen are giving a Latin play. February seventh, and see how gay the Freshmen seem! Their boys’ basketball team has just licked the Seniors! And I hear that the girls’ team did quite well too. L My what a mighty class! I will certainly be sorry when I must bid farewell in 1933. —D. DRIFTMIER ’33.

As Trail Blazers we built our first step on one word that would make a firm and lasting foundation. This word is not very big but holds a great amount in it. It is cooperation. On this first big step we had a happy and prosperous time together under our very capable advisor. Miss Morrison. At the end of the school year, banishing all cares and worries, we journey to Similk Beach for a good time. As the first step was fully covered we ascended to the second step, and under the leadership of Sheldon Moe, our pres’dent, and our class advisors, Miss Andrews and Mr. Stephenson, we have kept up our good standards. We are well represented in all athletics, in orchestra, band, debate, and dramatic work in this school. We have fully decided that our second step will be founded on Loyalty to the citizens of Anacortes. our parents, the Board of Directors, our in- structors, and our fellow students. And so, as the old saying goes, “let us hitch our wagons to the stars” and as upper classmen, during the next two years, make a record of which we all will be proud. —m. olson ’32.

Lattices, Wistaria, lanterns, draperies, all sorts of wall hangings—a big black and gold Buddha—etc. Lot of work in it but it was a big success. And Miss Cornish came to see it. (She was our class advisor for three years—’member?) Sleepy—goodnight. April 22, 1930 Dear Diary: Another big class project, the Vodvil. went over wfith a bang a few nights ago.

The year 1929-30 has been as prosperous and happy as the three preceding ones. About the second week of school, the election of class officers was held. Harold Berentson was elected president; George Kenney, vice-president; Marjorie Blake, secretary; Phyllis B.ack, treasuier, and Theo lies, class representative. At the beginning of the second semester, on February 21, the class planned and gave a snappy Senior Assembly. On March 21, the Senior Play. “Loose Ankles,” was given in Anacortes, and on April 3 it was presented in Oak Harbor. The Senior Ball. May 2, was given on board the S. S. Senior. The excursion w-as colorful and exciting. With the Senior Sneak, and an alumni picnic during exhibit w eek and with review for final examinations beginning, the entire class was kept pleas- antly busy for the last three wrecks of school. Baccalaureate and Commence- ment ended the happy high school days of eighty Seniors. Page 19 MARALTA ANDERSON.

Page 26 Senior Prophecy IT had been a most surprising circus for I had discovered some of my school- mates were major attractions in it. Tempa Mellot was billed as the “world’s strongest woman.” Margaret Arges and Alice Soule doubled for the Siamese twins. Maralta Anderson was described on the posters as “the bearded lady,” although the beard w'as false, and Elvin and Leslie Rottluff. the Rottluff brothers, were trapeze performers. John Southwick had become a lion tamer and a very good one too. Because of this unexpected affluence of friends in a circus I stayed after the show to talk to them. They had been all over the world with the circus and had met a surprising number of schoolmates in their travels. Elsie Schmandt had started a Chinese Orphan Asylum early in her career. Willafaye Mahan’s parents had noticed her adeptness at turning electric lights on and off, so they had sent her to a school to learn electrical engineer- ing and she had become a great success. Silas Boulton had become an inventor. He had among other things invented a new Scotch joke and a device for preventing velocipedes from speeding. Alphonse Brazas had been President of Mexico, but alas, we say “had been” for he was turned out by the spring cleaning of Presidents. Louis Means succeeded him. Dick Butler took up journalism ten years ago and now he has reached a position where he is in charge of the Summit Park column in the Anacortes American. Tinee Sahlin, Dorothy Okerlund, Caroline Johnson and Coral Bliss have all become Congress women. Dorothy holds the record for the longest speech yet made in the house. Louise Stapp, I found out. had become a noted musi- cian and was appearing on Broadway. Shelby Clark was also playing behind the footlights. Pete Dale. Harold Berentson and Rex Rogers are each managers of opposing indoor baseball teams. These men have become great professionals at this game. I was very delighted to hear that Jimmie March had defeated Bobby Jones for the golf crown and was to play Gail Howe for his final match before retiring. The two Kimsey brothers. Dick and Frank, had opened up a hand laundry of their own and had Edwin Barker as a special manager. Phyllis Black. I learned, had married the worlds’ soap king. Clyde Webb, and was very happy. Roscoe Anderson was the assistant coach at the Dobers school and was taking up croquet as a side diversion. Dorothy Barney had become the Dean of Women at Whitman College where Melvin Beckley was President. The'r greatest worry so far was Alfred Thibbert, who couldn't seem to get out of the Freshman Class. Page 27 Vera Flockenhagen. Helen Chitwood. Frances Wright and Margaret Hurlburt are spending their lives in the wilds of Africa collecting species of mosquitoes. Russsell Revell was now a world known band leader. Among those in his band were Lucille Brothers, Ervin Cass. Albert Pusey and Helen Tasovac. Nellie Pearson had become a great prima donna, while Verna Haynes was making her debut this fall at Conway. The Commercial Jitney Bus Service was owned by Marian Schafer, and Clark Moore was her reliable driver. Marjorie Reed had made a fortune selling her famous oil painting of A. H. S., while Alice Rumsey operated a pop corn stand on the Columbian Campus. Oliver Rusing. with his wife, Eletha Storme. were the heads of the Anacortes Hospital. Florence Torpey, Ellen Winge, Rose Flagg and Florence Coffelt were training as nurses. I also found out that Carl Erickson was a great surgeon in this hospital. Audie Brazas had entered her auburn tresses in the World Fair in Chicago and had won a blue ribbon. Harold Trulson was financing the Fair this year. Rudy Verrall had gone to Hollywood for a vacation but Roy Schmandt, a director of one of the large companies, had noticed Rudy’s eyes—it was simple—Rudy was made! George Kenney and Charles Kidder had gone to the Olympic games, but as yet no word had been received of their success. The Guemes Island Ferry had been purchased by Helen Mack. Robert Butler had been promoted to Captain of that worthy ship but had become so seasick and lonesome for land that he was forced to res’gn. John Bettys and Clifford Beasley had gone on a strange and secret expedition and no one had heard of their whereabouts. Peggy lies and Erma Graham had been appointed as traffic policewomen in New York by Clayton Howe, the mayor. Helen and Marj Blake had opened up an Airport at Dewey. These two sisters had accomplished many novel feats with airplanes but decided to do something which would not ga n so much publicity. Farmer Deane was the most successful agricu’tural man in the vicinity of Lake Campbell. It is miraculous, the wonders he has accomplished with his different varieties of cabbages. Dottie Schwartz and Marylouise Brown had sacrificed opportunities which came knocking at their doors to become missionaries in Australia. Pauline Tasovac, Evelyn Lundberg, Earl Hard:ng and John Ervine had started a giant merger in alfalfa crops but had failed. Marietta Himmelschein, Lenora King and Floyd Holeman were pro- moting a nation-wide campaign for bigger and better beefsteaks. I was very happy to hear about my beloved schoolmates but could not get details of their lives as I had to catch the next stage to Sedro- Woolley.

Page 52 ACTIVITIES STUDENT BODY MUSIC DEBATE KNIGHT HAWKS GIRLS CLUB SEA HAWK DRAMATICS Associated Students AT the first meeting of the Associated Students of the Anacortes High School, the new constitution was read, discussed and with a few adjust- ments was finally adopted. In November, delegates were chosen for the annual Journalism Confer- ence, held at the University of Washington. At a later meeting of the Associated Students, it was decided to send the entire High School Band and Orchestra to Seattle to hear the Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra. ‘ Shortly after the mid-semester, a meeting was called to discuss the problem of congested halls. The student police plan was adopted and police- men were appointed from various classes to help relieve the congestion in the halls during school hours. It was also decided at th s meeting to send repre- sentatives to Sedro-Woolley to attend a distirct meeting of the girls’ clubs. Capable 1930 officers were: President...............................Silas Boulton Vice-President.................................Albert Arnott Secretary..............................Dorothy Etter Business Manager......................Betty Lowman Alumni THROUGH the efforts of the alumni, a very successful beach party and dance was given for the Senior Class of this year. The beach party was given at Lake Samish Tuesday, May 13. The dance hall was open to all the Seniors and alumni. Swimming, boat riding, and a fine picnic lunch were enjoyed by everyone. At a meeting of the present alumni and the incoming members, officers were elected. Charles Stapp was named president; Silas Boulton, vice-president; Adeline Brazas, secretary, and Bob Farrell, treasurer. With these lively officers, it is to be expected that the alumni will show life and do much in the near future. rage 33 Music Calendar 1929-30 Nov. g.— Orchestra and Boys Glee Club—Assembly.

Page 34 Columbian Orchestra Columbian Band Page 35 MARTHA HJ KRMSTAD Coach HAROI.D BERENTSON HELEN WEB Li EDWIN DALE Debate MORE than the usual interest was manifest in debate this year and com- petition for place on the squad was keen. This may have been due, in- part. to a timely question, discussed the nat;on over, and one that was of particular interest to the students: “Resolved, that interscholastic and inter- collegiate athletics, as at present conducted, are detrimental—the term detri- mental to mean more harmful than beneficial.’7 With several experienced debaters, the prospect of a successful season seemed good and Anacortes was not disappointed in the results, in placing first in the county, tying for second in the Northwest district on number of debates won, and tying for fourth in the district on number of individual judge’s decisions. The first encounter was with Mount Vernon. Edwin Dale, Dick Butler, and Harold Berentson upheld the negative side of the question and won the first victory of the season for Anacortes. On November 22, the Sea Hawks met and defeated an old rival, Everett High School. Edwin Dale. Mary Wollertz and Harold Berentson debated . for Anacortes defending the affirmative. It was at Blaine in the third debate that the team met its only defeat. This time Anacortes was represented by Edwin Dale, Helen Webb and Harold Berentson. The same trio however secured a unanimous decision for Anacortes in the final debate with Edmonds. Many advanced forensic methods were introduced this year by the coach,. Miss Hjermstad, and prospects for next year are very promising.

Through the co-operation of the girls and faculty, and the wonderful support of many organizations and citizens of Anacortes, we have gained “Port Girls' Rest Room.'’ At “Port Lost and Found,” a sufficient sum has been taken in to equip a medicine kit and to send flowers to ill faculty members and students.

Page 38 Knight Hawks ORGANIZED in ’27, the Knight Hawks have proved to be one of the most active of student groups since its debut. Membership in this club is entirely selective, the incumbent members, with the aid of the advisor, selecting four new members each year. The Hawks were organized to perform such duties as ushering at games and student affairs, and keeping the athletic field and gymnasium in condition. The officers for this year were Harold Berentson, manager, and Mr. Dishnow, advisor.

It considerably lightened the dreary afternoon of March 20 and the evening of March 21. It was also played at Oak Harbor on the evening of April 3. The play centers about Ann Harper, who is to inherit a fortune pro- vided that she marry before twenty-three and with the consent of her rela- tives. Her relations with the “hoofers,” those of the “loose ankles,” bring about many comical situations and make the play very interesting. However, all’s well that ends well, which is illustrated in this play, as everything turns out all right in the end. The cast for “Loose Ankles” is as follows: Ann Harper .................................... Phyllis Black Betty Brent, her fourth cousin ................ Norma Sahlin Agnes, her maid ............... Helen Blake. Tempa Mellott Sarah Elling. her aunt ....................... Alice Rumsev Jessica Harper Lawton, her sister ......... Willafaye Mahan Harvey Lawton, her brother-in-law ............

Gilbert Hull Gill Barry, their star boarder .................. Edwin Dale Several one-act plays were given by the Dramatics Club and Speech Class during the year. Some were presented free of charge and a light entrance fee was charged for others in order to secure money to buy stage equipment. “Safe Playing,” with Alphonse Brazas and Louis Means as policemen; Edwin Dale as Jerry, and Norma Sahlin as Patsy, was very well presented. “Nevertheless,” by Stuart Walker with Mary Wollertz as the boy, Helen Webb as the girl, and Roscoe Anderson as the burglar, warns one not to start out in a life of crime. Tend to your own business' The troubles of a young man of the real estate business and his young wife and their financial success were brilliantly played by Alfred Thibbert as Arthur Travers, Eletha Storm as Elsie Travers Winston McCallum as Mr. Simpson, and Laurene Johnson as the girl, in the play “Changing Places.” This play was presented before the student body and also before the Rotary Club. Many laughs were made possible to the student body by the one-act farce “Never Again,” wr'tten by Guy L. Clements, with Herschal McQuary as Dr. White. Alfred Thibbert as Dr. Gilman, Laurene Johnson as Betty, and Helen Webb as Ruth. “A Case of Suspension by Louise L. Wilson and “You Know I Know” were given before the student body in the afternoon of May 13. The plays “A Lady to Call” and “Youth Must Be Served” wrere also given. Page 42 “The Lucky Jade” DURING the year of 1930, one of the most varied and colorful of the operettas ever given here was staged in the gymnasium, April 10 and 11. “The Lucky Jade,” a story of the sunny South, is centered around the valuable jade ear of an old voo-doo idol. The theft of this jewel and the multitude of misfortunes resulting from the loss make an interesting story. The operetta was directed by Miss Anabel Peterson with the assistance of Miss Martha Hjermstad, Miss Alene Morrison, Mr. Cramblitt, Mr. Dish- now, and Mr. Kegal.

Garter snakes, bare arms, free verse and hosiery agents had long since emerged from their hibernation to make themselves evident on the streets of Genoa. Mrs. Chris Columbus, puffing up the back steps with a load of wood, was so irate as to be sadly out of tune with the morning. Had not seven washing machine agents and a shoe merchant called that morning? And had not this same shoe merchant sold her a pair of Sl 2 B’s when any idiot would know she only wore 4Yi A’s? As she bent over the woodbox to dump the wood, the ironing board, which was hinged to the wall above, suddenly let go and landed her a pop on the head. She sat down. Children appeared magically from nowhere and collapsed in giggles. Was this a good atmosphere for Columbus to walk into? It was not—but in he came. He had spent the morning sitting on a rock trying to compose a poem to a certain dark-eyed girl on the next street. He had rimed “blue” with “true” and “you” but as he could think of nothing but “booty” and “cootie” to rime with “beauty” and that particular rock had suddenly become distasteful be- cause a swarm of bees—well, we'll skip that—anyway, he came home. “I’m ju-hust a vagabond lu-hu-ver-r—” he warbled, spinning his hat onto the hook in the hall and falling over Chris Junior’s fire engine— “In ser-herch uff a swe-heet heart it see-heems”—he stopped abruptly at the sight of his wife seated on the kitchen floor, (looking about as tractable as a certain beast that had just chased him out of a field—) and, being a diplomat, he blinked and said, “Why, honey!” Signorina Chris Columbus did not reply. She sat and looked at him balefully. and he felt himself shrinking by inches. Just as the silence became oppressive, she rose to her feet—and because she banged her head again on the ironing board she uprooted it and crowned Chris with it. Chris ducked for the door and landed in the street. Then he sat down philosophically on a fire plug and watched the hegiia of two red silk shirts, seven collars, five howl ng ties, th rteen striped socks, a package of squashed cigarettes, three combs, (utterly unblessed by teeth) his Sunday suit, and a dance ticket. When the firing was over he gathered up the fragments, rolled them up in a red checked tab'ecloth he pilfered from the clothesline, and went off down the street, thoughtfully chewing the pencil he had tried to use for more artistic purposes. As he went down the street, a dang of bells awoke him from his reverie. A bridal party was coming down the street. He looked. It was the dark-eyed girl he had tried to write an ode to. He sighed. “I’m offa wimmen for life,” he said, and set sail for Spain on the first boat. Once in Spain, he fell in love w‘th Isabel. Her husband was king of Spain, but didn’t understand her. Civ is wrote letters to Isabel for some time, but one day Ferdinand found one. Isabel was nervous. She called for Chris and he came at once. “Chris.” she said, “would you do something for me?” “My beautiful, of course—I would do anything on earth for a smile from you. But name it and I will do it.” “I can’t guarantee the smile,” she said, “however, it’s this way. I bought some land from a real estate agent the other day, and I don’t know where it is. I think he called it Fidalgo Island—I don’t know where it is but he has the most wonderful eyes, blue and deep and—” Columbus coughed and she returned to the subject. “The point is, I want you to look it up for me. Help yourself to any of the yachts you want,” she sighed, “blue eyes—and—” “But—but I can’t even swim!” protested Chris, “and I might catch cold.” “Remember all those letters you wrote to me. and that Ferdinand has several nicks in his gun?” she reminded him sweetly. Imagine his embarrassment! It was impossible for him to be nonchalant without a Murad, so he blushed. Just then he heard the horn of Ferdinands car so he bid her a tearful goodbye and departed. He gathered a crew of Irishmen to run the boat and they started. Half way across the boat developed engine trouble, so it took some time to get there. “Where be yez goin'?” asked a certain Tim Flannigan. of his commander. “Land!” yelled Chris. “Land! “I'm look’ng for land! Real estate— land!” Finally they found Fidalgo Island. It had been a long and perilous journey but they, at last put in at Rosario beach and camped. Some time later Chris appeared at the door of the castle. “Izzy home?” he inquired. The servant called her. “I found it,” said Chris. “Found what?” she said. “Your land,” he replied. “My land?” she inquired, “oh, now I remember. Have you a picture of it?” Chris didn’t, so he procured a camera and films and returned to Fidalgo. Having taken the pictures he returned to Spain, to find Isabel and her seven children quarantined with measles. He poked the pictures through the crack in the door and went back to Fidalgo Island to forget his troubles. Some time later, (the next spring, in fact) he decided to go back, but found, to his confusion, that the United States, which had been under water all this time, had risen, and he couldn’t get back. So he stayed on Fidalgo. and on the site of his former camp is now a school. He made discoveries, notab’.y of Seattle and the Panama Canal, but died unhonored in 499 B. C. A book of his verse was published some years later but perished when Pompeii was snowed under. How do I know’ all this? Why, me and Ramsay MacDonald shipped over as stowaways on the “Santa Maria.” —FRANCES DORCY. Paw 46 Unconquered Bosomed in the briny deep, ’Xiong seaweeds green, and pink lined shells, With glistening scales and powerful leap The sockeye salmon dwells. Tis not given for him to know . When cruel death shall strike the blow. He churns the water in his play He leaps and darts, then glides away. Now back he comes with graceful sweep, And oft we wish that he might keep His rainbow hues, his grace and might. Vanquished But soon we see him in the scow, He flops and flounders, twists and gasps, The sockeye wins our pity now The trap-man sordid fish check clasps. We see him next on cannery floor. With salmon piled up by the score, Their sunken eyes, and gory backs Where fish pick, at him jabs and hacks. The “iron chink” beheads him next, Then booted man with sharpened knife Prepares him for the shining cans: Thus ends the noble sockeye’s life. —Betty Lowman. Page 47 Strange As It Seems YOU have heard of helpless, lonely old women who, from something utterly casual, such as watching poppy flowers bloom or a bright star in the skies night after night, have become domineering women intent upon a single goal. You have heard about fearless buccaneers, daredevils, fearing neither God nor man but who were themselves the terrors of the seas, who were changed to loving, truly admirable characters by some trivial incident. But now you are going to hear the most uncanny and ghastly story of the rejuvenation of a character that could possibly be told. One sultry evening in Hong Kong, China, my brother. Bob Lee, recently graduated from Princeton, and I from Wellesly, were standing in the shadows of some tall, gnarled trees near a long porch. The odor of real incense was thick about us. coming from the dim, bluishly lighted tea house, through the open window with the strains of weird, gongy, paganish music. “Bob, please, do let me go alone. My head aches dreadfully from all this stuffiness. I feel so—well, so imprisoned. I don't know what it is that gives me that feeling of something clutching and holding me. ’ I was pleading with my football player brother. “Paula, won’t you try to endure it just through tonight or at least let me go with you? If anything should happen to you”—he paused, “why the least little thing, with dad so happy and content for the first time in his life. You wouldn’t spoil, everything for him by going off like that would you?” Bob put his hands on my shoulders, looking me squarely in the eyes. Although disgusted with my lack of will power, I went for the walk. I wanted to go in spite of Bob’s disapproval. I had no control over my im- pulses in that mysterious. Oriental atmosphere. A frail girl in a flowered voile summer dress is decidely out of place walking down a filthy, narrow, curved Chinese street on a dark night. It was not intentional—my walking down a cobble-stoned road, though. An hour after I had rushed off, I realized that I was lost. I walked on and on trying to ap- pear to know what I was doing. No living thing but myself seemed to be awake, but you could never tell what frightful, yellow-fanged, sly-eyed Chinese face was watching you from one of the ugly, crowded buildings on either side of the way. I kept thinking I heard stealthy footsteps behind me. Although there was no one visible I was sure someone was about to pounce upon me. I nearly ran ’till I came to a huge, twisted, carved, green dragon, which I darted behind, for I was frantic. I was near a Chinese sword and knife sharpening shop. Hanging in front of it were various swords. It was practically impossible to see me because the life-sized dragon had wide-open jaws, which by some secret process were sending forth volumes of red flames and smoke. The flames came from h!s prominent round red eyes, too, and therefore this light left me in a shadow behind it. It is nearly impossible to feel safe in China for there are so many secret passageways and trap doors around. Interminably. I cringed there next to the stony scales of the dragon. All I could really see from where I was, was one of those queerly shaped little Page 48 window-like openings, so common high up on the walls of Chinese buildings. Attached to the wall over it was a gleaming curved scimitar. I practically col- lapsed then, for a horrid yellow-sk nned, slant-eyed, leering, long, black- moustached Chinaman slowly put his head out of the opening and stared at me. He was about to say something, (endearing I'm sure), when—it’s gruesome —the knife, manipulated by some invisible person, fell and his head rolled over the stones past me. His round silk lounging-cap came off and rolled past me with great force and one of the many studded jewels scratched my ankle. Afterward. I found out that I screamed wildly and ran right into Bob who had been following me all the time but who for a few minutes, couldn't find me. I am destined never to forget that night for after reaching home, several months later, I found that my grandfather was employing only Chinamen in his salmon canneries. They were under the leadership of a wealthy, well- educated. tall, stout, embroidered silk-clad Chinaman by the name of Sid Chee. He was very thickly mixed up in the Tong Wars. He was heavily guarded at all times, for the Sids were supposed to be one murder ahead of the Sings and that meant that the death of Sid Chee was inevitable. No one was better aware of the fact than he, so that stoical leader prepared for his death. Unfathomable are some of the unusual things he did. The most easily understandable is this—he sent letters with very valuable advice to everyone of his native acquaintances who was doing something which Sid Chee had learned from experience was not profitable. However. Sid Chee wasn’t murdered. The Sids really weren’t the slayers of the last Sing who had his head cut off by some blood-thirsty river pirates. Without proof which is sufficient to both sides in a Tong War, it is customary to do away with your enemy with the least excuse. Sid Chee could only be saved if he happened to find an American girl with a life-long, green, scratch on her leg from a poisonous Nam Yuk Jade. He had common sense and knew that his case was hopeless. One time his son, Sid Wah, was teaching me some clever little tennis tricks when I slipped and sprained my ankle so that it was necessary for my oxford and “ankle” sock to be taken off. Sid Wah didn’t show any change of facial expression when he saw my scar so I didn’t know about my connection with the Tong Wars until Sid Chee was ready for me. I was supposed to have seen the whole killing. I was able to testify to having heard and seen the slayer and from my description it was definitely proved that he was a cruel notorious bandit. Sid Chee uncomplainingly has had to be a very model Chinese gentle- man because of his splendid letters telling his friends what was wrong with them. I believe he'll not even hire notorious pirates to do their plundering at residences of men of the Sing household any more. Yes, it was Sid Chee who gave me my red silk evening wrap with the lovely embroidered dragons and fringe. He sends me gifts frequently. The Chinese characters on my jade and gold bracelet are beautiful Chinese proverbs. He is so kind to me because he knows that I described the murdered man by mistake, for they asked me, “What did you see that night?” —BY BETTY LOW MAN. Page 4Q Cheese It BILL and Joe. now out of college, were out bumming around the country for the fun of it. To them college had been one deadly drudge. They were very much in need of excitement. It was mid-summer and Bill and Joe were walking along a dusty road in Kansas. No word had passed between them for nearly an hour. “By Jiminy!” Joe said, suddenly breaking the silence, “if this is what you call excitement. I’d hate like anything to go to a Quaker meeting.’’ “Yeah, returned Bill, “all we've gotten from this bumming, so far, is a couple of pair of flat feet and a parched throat; but we’ll surely get a break sooner or later—Gee. I wish I had a drink.” When they neared a farm house it was almost sundown and so they decided to ak if they could stay all night. They were received with the warm hospitality that always exists in the rural districts of the great plains. The farmer and his wife seemed glad to have them stay. At the supper table Bill and Joe told the farmer they were looking for excitement. The farmer, whose name was Ira Dabbs, exclaimed, “Land sakes, if you young ’uns is lookin' for excitement. I reckon I know where they is plenty of it. “There’s an old mansion not fur from here, that used to belong to a wealthy old rancher.” Ira continued. “He died. and. so people claim, was buried in hs basement, nobody knows where. Since then they ain’t nobody what dares to go inside the house. They say there's ghosts in it. “This old man was an odd. old cuss, and nobody knowed much about him. 'cept that he was a great lover of limburger cheese.'’ “Gee! that sounds prettv good,” exclaimed Bill. “What do you say, Joe?” “Sounds O. K. to me. When do we start?” “Right now. Are there any beds over there?” “Yes, I reckon so,” answered Ira. “but you better take some blankets along.” “Never mind.” returned Bill. “If it’s as bad as you say, wfe won’t be sleeping much. Eh. Joe?” At e'ght o'clock that night. Bill and Joe were in an upper bedroom of the mansion. The building was ve� y well built. It looked as though it used to be white, but due to rains and winds, it had turned a streaked grey. Tall turrets, rising from the roof of the house, looked as though they would topple over. Inside, the corners of the rooms were filled with cobwebs and the furniture had a heavy coat of dust on it, giv’ng it a ghostly look. At the bottom of the once strong but now rickety stair case was a doorway, (the door was torn off) which led to the basement. Page so After exploring for awhile. Bill and Joe decided that they might as well turn in. They were soon cuddled up together sleeping soundly. About midnight they were awakened by a loud banging sound in the basement. Bill got up and opened the door to the room they were sleeping in. Just as he opened the door, a streak of light shot across the hallway. He gasped and jumped back, more from surprise than fear. “What’s the matter. Bill?” asked Joe. “Gee, a streak of light shot across the hall just as I opened the door,” answered Bill. Before Joe could offer any remark they were startled by a long wailing or shrill moaning sound. This left them almost shivering. Bill opened the door again just in time to see the ray of light flash across the hallway. As he stood there, the ghastly weird moaning came to his ears again. This time from the basement. That was enough. They bounded down the stairway and out the front door of the old mansion. The next night found them back at the old mansion again. This time they lodged themselves in the cement basement instead of upstairs. They decided not to go to bed this time. Nothing was said for a long time. Suddenly Joe burst out. “I’ve got a part of it. Bill.” Part of what?” asked Bill. “Why. part of the mystery. Do you see that window on hinges over there at the bottom of the stairway? Well, watch it.” Bill watched and then, as an idea seemed to strike him, he burst out laughing. The window was hung by hinges and as the wind blew it back and forth it made a banging sound and at the same time reflected the light from the bright summer moon up the stairs, making the streak of light up the hallway. But the most important thing had yet to be solved. Where did the moan'ng come from? Suddenly it came to their ears again, this time much closer. Almost in the same room the uncanny sound seemed. That was the on’y time it came that night. Next morning they took a hammer and pick and began to tap the concrete walls of the basement, finally finding a spot sounding hollow. Bill started p'cking away at the spot until he uncovered a spot about ten feet square This «not disclosed a pair of doub’e doors which were sealed by a rusty padlock. The lock was broken by a single blow of the hammer and the doors were opened. Behind this set of doors was revealed a thick oaken door which was also padlocked. This lock was just as easily broken as the first. Joe tugged at the door and with some effort opened it. A strong dis- agreeable odor immed:ately penetrated their nostrils. They tried to enter the dark room beyond the door, but they couldn't stand the awful smell. They finally decided that the best thing to do would be to go outside and regain their breath while the room aired out. After a few minutes had passed, they returned to the room. This time it was not quite so disagreeable. Page 51 Bill went out and found an old lamp. He lit it and brought it back to the dark room. Now they were able to see more of the room and a large wooden box. The box was about six feet long and three feet wide and deep. It was sealed with a heavy lock. While they were deciding what to do, the weird, moaning sound came to them again, at the same time they smelled the terrible odor which had occu- pied the room before. The moaning was much louder and seemed to be coming from the large wooden box. They also noticed a sound like the escaping of compressed air. They flew at the box with renewed vigor. Bill took the hammer and, after some time, with the help of the pick, he soon had the lid off. The lid off, they held their noses and looked into the box. In it there was a skeleton, surrounded by some moldy substance wh'ch evidently gave off the odor. Upon examination of this substance, they found it to be some over- ripened limburger cheese. They discussed this for awhile and finally came to the conclusion that about every twelve hours enough gas came from the cheese collected in the box that it was strong enough to force the lid up a little way so that it escaped through the small crack that it made. As it escaped, it gave off this dreadful moaning sound. How the cheese got there, they couldn't decide—unless the man. who owned the house, loved limburger cheese so well that he requested his friends to bury him with it. That night, two tired boys, just graduated from a college of thrills, made up some much overdue sleep. —Herschcl McQuary. HEAVE IIO !

BASEBALL TRACK TENNIS KIDDER DISHNOW KEENEY LINDQUIST TRULSON Manager Assistant Coach Coach Assistant Coach Manager Sports TIED for county championship in football; county champs in basketball; fourth place in the Northwest tournament; second place in the county track and field meet; and county champs in baseball! Such is the mar- velous record of the Anacortes High School in the major sports this year! Under the excellent direction of Coaches Harold Keeney, Jay V. Dishnow and Adolph Lindquist, the Sea Hawks have finished the most success- ful athletic season in its history. With athletics set upon its own feet once more and an abundance of promising athletes, it looks as though Anacortes will be the foremost school in sports for many years to come. Credit for this successful year must be given to the loyal support the student body, faculty and citizens have given the teams in all contests and also to the priceless coaches who have established a code of sportsmanship which has not a black mark against it.

As we look we can see the sun is shining, a crowd is gathering, and the purple and white eleven are out to defend their title on the gridiron. By starting off with spirit, the Hawks took the Stanwood eleven in tow with a victory' of 14-0. The local boys pushed over two of their goals by hard plunging while their try-for-points were aerial attacks. The next game, which was one of practice, developed the men into a well defined team. A total of 25 points was gathered by the Hawks against the hard earned o for the Oak Harbor eleven. For a third attempt we traveled to the southern town of Arlington, where strong line play was shown. By walking through the Eagles' terrific line the Hawks scored a sum of 25 to Arlington’s 7. In this game the Hawks showed what they had in them and how they were taught football by their coach. “Pop” Keeney. Courage carried the Hawks on in the next tilt, as the score indicates. iq-6. The Tigers just couldn’t find any weak spots in the line but they did find punch in the backfield. This was the best game of the year for the A. H. S. Moore boomed right off the spot for a handsome six points. A great catch of a 40-yard pass, Martin to Moore, was the cause. The cat jumps out of the bag and Anacortes is downed by a score of Woolley Cubs 6 to the Hawks’ o. In this hectic battle the A. H. S. eleven just couldn’t get going. Maybe because of the hard fought battle the week before. Xow again our stride was reached by showing the Bull Dogs a few points on the gridiron. The adding machine was kept warm adding up the sum of 35 Anacortes while Mount Vernon used the same score they did at the start of the first quarter. Pi'.ge 54 Heart aglow and voice all gone, the fans were ready to leave with the bacon, but the tide changed when the score was Anacortes 20 and What- com 7. On a long pass in the last few minutes of play the Whatcom team scored again and again, making the sum 20 to 21. Morin, the Anacortes sub- half was sent in to give the Whatcom team a safety but instead he fumbled, Whatcom recovering with the ball over our goal, winning the game. Back again with grit in their craw, the Hawks were out to win, and win thev did by a small score of 7 to o over the Port AjigeJes gridsters. In this t iue both teams looked evenly matched until out jumped “Mr. Luck” scoring a touchdown for Anacortes. “On with the navy” were the shouts stirred up when Bremerton entered the field only to sail off with tears in their heart and a score of iq to 12 in their score book. The A. H. S. gridsters lived up to the purple and white in this game by keeping the win in the family. The season was a success as far as victories were concerned. The loss of one game, which was the first shut-out for Anacortes in two years, re- sulted in a tie for county championship with Sedro-Woolley, Burlington and Anacortes. Over confidence and over training was probably the cost of another clean championship. Page 55 Basketball WITH the county championship tucked away under their belts, the 1929- 1930 edition of the Sea Hawk basketball quintet ended a very successful season by taking fourth place at the Northwest tournament at Lynden. It is the sincere belief of the Coaches and Student Body that the team should have gone farther in the Northwest tournament than they did. For some reason or other the team did not show the power, speed and accuracy that was characteristic of them in previous games, but they put up an enviable record as it was. The records show that Anacortes was second best on foul shots and also, our system of scoring showed that we had fifteen or more shots at the basket than any other team played. The two defeats suffered were at the hands of Everett and Fairhaven, schools with at least twice the enrollment of ours. Si Boulton, stellar guard and the only Senior on the team, was the high point man of the tournament. The race for the county title was a very close one. The only defeat taken was from Burlngton. The Tigers certainly knew they had been through a battle, winning by a margin of one point. In the next game with Burlington the Sea Hawks avenged themselves by beating them 28 to 23 and taking the Class A Championship. We then played Edison for the county Champion- ship and whipped them decisively by a score of 33 to 23. Coach Keeney, to whom much credit must be given for the great team he put out, awarded nine letters to players and one manager’s letter. Those receiving letters were: SifBoulton, John Holl, Norman Martin, George Olson. Alex Morin. Sheldon Moe. Ray Verrall. Joe Kasch. Alvin Moore and Manager James March. All of these men with the exception of Boulton will be back next year and will certainly make the rest of State quintets sit up and take notice.

The team played preliminary contests to all the first team games and were defeated in only two of them. They won fifteen and lost two games the entire season. One of these games was lost to the Mount Vernon seconds and thus necessitated an- other contest for the county title. The Sea Hawks won this contest by a very close score. Much credit must be given to the second team for develop'ng the first squad. It is an old saying and true one that you can’t have a good first team without a good second team.

Mabel Mahan Yukona Moyer SINCE America was discovered long years ago by Columbus, it has de- veloped from wild forest regions with savage inhabitants to a territory containing the United States which is the foremost civilized country in the world at the present time. Most of the advance of this great nation is due to the well-chosen leaders who have been selected by the people to direct their country’s destiny. Since the Girls’ Athletic Club was first organized in the early history of the Columbia High School when but one or two girls were outstanding and vitally interested in Athletics, it has developed into one of the most outstanding “Sea Hawk” organizations. The membership of the G. A. C. has increased proportionately with the growth of the high school because it includes only those girls who are interested in promoting a higher physical efficiency among themselves by fostering an interest in athletic activities. The ideals of this group are pep, athletic ability, health, and scholarship. Most of the advance of this club is due to those first girls whose enthusiasm was so sincere and wholesome that it convinced others who became “backers” of a G. A. C. movement. The leaders who have been elected since then have been capable and effic ent. The girls appreciate what they have contributed to its present condition and they are especially grateful to them for making it possible for us to have more than one form of ath- letics. In past years basketball occupied a complete year, while in 1930 the girls have branched into four different sports: tennis, track, baseball and basketball. Many are proficient in all these. Although nothing w-as accomplished this year in track, many of the county track records for girls have been and are held by Anacortes. Three of the recent record-holders are Vesta Malberg ’30, Dorothy Carter and Norma Haroldson. In spite of the fact that early every morning for several months they practiced faithfully to be prepared for all competition, the basketball team was defeated by East Sound. Several fine tennis players were discovered this year who enabled Anacortes to make a fine showing in the county tennis matches even though this is our first year of inter-school competition.

Baseball COUNTY champions on the diamond! And the principal contender for the Northwest title! That's the result of this year's baseball campa’gn. A wonderful ball club has been built up by Coach Keeney, a team that has to be defeated for the first time as yet. Going through the first four games of the county schedule without a defeat, the Sea Hawk nine clinched the county title. An u to 4 defeat given to the hard-playing Everett team also makes the Sea Hawks the logical Northwest champions. There were only three teams in the county race this year, Sedro- Woolley. Mount Vernon and Anacortes, but outside games were played with Oak Harbor. Coupeville and Everett, all being defeated by the slugging Sea Hawk aggregation. The hard-hitting, fast-playing athletes who made up this year's cham- pionship nine consisted of Moe, catcher; Olson and Mart n, pitchers; Holl, first base; Beckley, second base; Si Boulton, shortstop; C. Moore, third base; Goralski, Rottluff. Kasch. D. Boulton and Bean, fielders. Relief pitchers consisted of Ray Verrall and David Gilkey but these two lads met with an auto accident and were unable to show their wares this year. Holl led the Sea Hawks in batting, setting a pace that has not been equaled here in many a year. He batted for a d zzy average of .444. He was followed by Moore, who batted .438, and Boulton and Moe. w’ho tied for third with .407 each. Pace 60 The batting averages of the team are interesting in review: PLAYER Holl ...... Moore ... S.

In this meet Anacortes was defeated be- cause Oak Harbor had too many points and because of the small sum made by Herschel Smith, who was only good for 18 points. The boys showed up quite prosperous, taking the points which they did like veterans. The meet ended with the islanders a trifle in the lead, scoring 71 1-3 to our 41 1-3. A second attempt in track was tried on April 5, which took place at Arlington among Arlington, Mount Vernon and Anacortes. In this meet big point gatherer was again Smith, taking the 4:40 in 55:1-5, the 8:80 in 2:13, and the mile in 4:49.3-5, in all 18 points. The shot put was grabbed by Rottluff. who also took second in the discus. His points were 8. Holl also gathered 8 points, taking first in the discus with a heave of no}4 feet, and a second in the high jump. With the third time as a charm. Anacortes placed second on the local field. For opposition there were Oak Harbor and Coupeville. In this meet was severely felt the absence of Smith. The results weie close, being: 45, Oak Harbor; 39J4, Anacortes. and 37 4, Coupeville. An award of second place was given the Sea Hawks on May 3 at Mount Vernon, where the county track meet was held. In this struggle Smith and Holl scored ten points apiece, taking the mile, the 8:80, the high jump and the discus. Rottluff grabbed a first in the shot put with a heave of 41.11 -2 feet. A total of 26 points were collected out of five firsts and a third place. Mount Vernon took first with a score of 52. In this meet Bur- lington looked very good, taking many points in tow. Sedro-VVoolley took third with a sum of 24. Page 62 On May io, the clay of the district meet Anacortes had three men present. Smith, who took 8 points, broke the 8:80 record with a run of 2:34-5 against the old time of 2:5.1 he'd by West of Sultan. He also took a second in the mile. Holl tied for second place in the high jump with a leap of 5:7.1-4, which was not the height which he has been reaching. May 14 was the bright day for two Anacoites boys, when Smith and Holl left for the state meet at Pullman, where they upheld the honors for Anacortes High School. —GEORGE SNYDER. Tennis TENNIS is rapidly becoming the most popular seasonal sport in the high school. Each year shows a greater interest among the students in this popular pastime. More and more students take advantage of the courts provided at the high school, and it is only a matter of years before Anacortes High School has a high ranking tennis team. The Sea Hawks met defeat in the first match of the year at the hands of Burlington. Ha ry Cornell and Bob England were chosen for the doubles team for this match and Lawrence Hull was the only singles entry. Each year a ladder tournament is held at the h'gh school to determine the tennis team for the coming season, and as each challenge is met, the tennis team varies from time to time. The most likely aspirants for the team this year are Harry Cornell. Charles Giles, Bob England. Harold Trulson, and Lawrence Hull. The girls were represented by Vesta Malberg. Betty Lowman, Merle Cummings. Dorothy Abbott, Yukona Moyer, and Mary McDiarmid. In the first girls match of the year, Sedro-Woolley defeated the girls by a very close margin. !----r r Girls’ Athletic Club Page 64 rsjUL Zt 6k � , HUMOR BULLETIN board very popular—Si Boulton followed by usual number of females—Dutch, another boy the girls just won’t leave alone(?)—Tinee and Audie—several new haircuts—John and Izzy—ain’t love grand?— somebody falling down stairs—Marian Schafer raving about Mount Vernon —Ray and Gertrude still “together”—a teacher, of course—Phyllis hanging on her locker door—Vesta and her bubble gum—“Pop” and his boys—Ed Goralski brokenhearted—Dick Butler arguing— Voice on Phone: “Is this a hand laundry?” Ditto: “Yes.” V. on P.: “Wash my hands, will you?” Barber: “Do you want a hair cut?” Ray VerralL “No, I want all of ’em cut, please.” Dick Butler: “My grandfather was at the Battle of Bull Run.” Fonse Brazas: “Did he run?” D.
