ing the Frosh'l. Had a most enjoyable masquerade dance on Hallowe'en. 1923-24 Upperclassmen! --and in our third year in school! We became inter- class champsin athletics and famous for our ability as entertainers. This last was proved at the Christmas party and the annual J unior-Senior picnic. 1924-25 Our heads are in the clouds. We are Seniors! X I We lived up to our reputation as entertainers at the big banquet at Christmas. The faculty was present. Result-- bum marks! We made up as freaks in costume fmost of us already were in mindl in March. Sneak day came soon after. We were graduated in June, thirty-five strong, and left worse than when we started. FINIS Worthy readers, there is no need for me to go further with this ac- count of mine, for you have read already in history kccks how the various members of the class of 1925 became famous in worldly affairs. To me, Professor Nutt, belongs the credit of unearthilig the record of this famous class. --Elenore Yocom, '25 .1..1..L.l-. EBB-TIDE Upon the gray and silent waste, The flood-tide brought to me All that I longed for, all that I wished From the magic isles of the sea. Over the dull and gloomy flats I watched the fading day. What the sea brought when at the flood The ebb-tide bore away. --Winston Schussmann 14

CLASS HISTORY PROFESSOR NUTT'S ACCOUNT OF HIS RECENT AND TALKED OF SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES tWritten in year of our Lord--4723 A.V.J fafter Volsteadl Having recently returned from my mcst interesting ard astounding discoveries in Humboldt County, the noted hcrre of the row extinct Sequoia Gigantea, I have been requested by the editer of ttie nagzzine tc give an account of my expedition in writing to the public at large. First in importance in nay story, Ibelieve, is to give yeu an account of this formerly densely populated ccunty and the reason fer n' y goingthere. About the year 2369, so historians tell us, a si Cden clin atic charge caused by the cutting of so many redwoods, killed the remaining anirrel ard vegee tal le life and since that time the foot of man has tread there not at all. How- ever, having great cause to believe that there were worlds of opportunities in the field of archeology in Humboldt,--I forthwith set out for that placf with my assistants, who numbered five. ' Arriving i.n the barren country, a general survey of the landscape de- cided my mind to the effect that I should confine my activities to the north side of what geographies tell us was Humboldt Bay. No sooner said than doneg we were digging away in the earth that was formerly owned by the citizens of Arcata Cpronounced R-K-TUHJ. Despite modern means of excavating, our work was difficult, and it was five long weeks before we finally came upon anything that was really worthy of our efforts. Delving in the earth, We came upon ruins of what must have been a brick building, evidently a school of some sort. True enough, for we found, deep beneath the surface, a marble bust upon which We were able to decipher the words 'Professor A. O. Cooperrider, Principal'. This, in itself, was a most important find', for we recalled that in his time he was noted as an educator of ability in the ARCATA UNION HIGH SCHOOL, long famous for its brilliant students. Close beside this bust was found a steel box, which. upon being opened, was found to contain a record of classes of Arcata High School. With the aid of my deciphering code, I was able to transcribe the following from one of the sheets of 'time-proof paper': CLASS OF 1925 1921-22 Eighty four of us entered A.U.H.S. in a veritable whirlwind of Sopho- mores, who ducked, slammed, and otherwise pounded us until we were fin- ally initiated into the ways of the school. The Sophomores proved themselves the best of scouts a short time later, when we went on a picnic with them. 1922-23 No longer the goats, but great students CD. Revenged ourselves by initiat- A 13

He was great- ly surprised to find Arcata with a population of 50,000. Lima has gained great fame in aeronautical circles, not only for his uncanny ability to ride safely through the worst storms and tornadoes, but for his daredevil activities with a dlrigible.
