The Architectress of the New 875,000 Arcata U Dunn High School Building, Rita Scott ' D I am so glad that Arcata has a new highg they took one of our class to design the building and Afjgl' get them started. So progressive a city as Ar- W cata could not fail to see that any expenditure for such a purpose 'would be a remunerative invest- ment. ALL CH.Lo..N OC PW' SMU The End WILL B .

I left them, and with grandeur in my heart Moved on to where the Sophs. were kept apart, No rev'rent whispers here but jibes and jeers, And one e'en laughed, Gee, don t he think he's smart. O, what a fall was there, my classmates dear, From reverent regard to jibe and jeer, I Hed and'in my flight I passed full soon . To where the Juniors pored o'er volumes drear. All heads were bent, each student, busy was, And of my presence not a soul took heed, Till when I made a noise they all complained, Keep .still or else get out, we want to read. VVith shattered pride and cracked and aching heart, My spirit in me drooped and fall'n apart, W'ith dragging step I went my weary way Back to the Senior class, and from them ne'er will part. Thus goes it ever in this world of ours, Familiarity contempt doth ever breed, And what, as Freshmen, We regard with awe, In later years can scarce command our heed. F. 22

Class Will We, the class of 1917 of the A. U. H. S., knowing that we are of sound mind now, but not knowing how long we will continue so, do hereby declare this to be our last Will and Testament. We leave, with regret, the silence of our voices to the building which we hope will soon be replaced by a more modern one. We leave to the juniors the writing of their class will and advise them to begin early to get ideas. We offer our sympathies to the Sophomores who have to study for an ex , when in the Assembly the orchestra begins to play the new tune to America , Pretty Baby or Destiny . To the Freshmen we leave all Wilbur's surplus pencils Qwe think they belonged to them in the first placej. Collectively and individually: We, the Sauerkraut Club, composed of Mae Crawford, Annie McMil- lan, Ida Seely, Grace Seely, Margaret Matthews, Mary MacPherson, Emma Fletcher, Mazie Patten, Mae Chaffey, Ella Griffiths, Elida Ford, and Helen Smith do leave our charter in care of Blenda Larson hoping that the same, will in part, counteract her giggles, and we charge her to enlist no one in its ranks who does not belong to the Sniggles Family. We, Wilbur Monroe, George Stebbins, Oscar Larson and Walter Baker, furrowing our brows to think of something suitable, do hereby leave our scanty supply of vocal music to Squarie Carlson that he may take the burden of the High School quartet upon his sturdy shoulders. We, Ruth Christie and Rosella Damgaard, do leave to Janie Leveque our opportunities of, and diplomacy in, sitting on the divan on Mazie's front porch during and after refreshments fof course not alonej. I, Thomas E. Leavey, do leave to one Wendell Kerr, freshman, my fond- ness for the companionship of red hair and pink cheeks. We, Horton Brothers, late of Fillmore, Cal., do leave to all new students our ability to give forth hot air for the amusement of all listeners. I, Esther Lindstrand, do give to Lois E. Everding my frequent trips to Korbel that she may renew a sundered friendship in that region. We, Elenore Gaynor and Lottie Beer, do leave our friendship to May- nard Rasmussen and Wallace McMillan, because we think they would look nice together. I, Clyde Sage, do leave my artistic ability, and I, Miriam Tilley my musical ability, to Edward Mahoney. 23
