Page 16 THE STILLAGUAMISH TRAIL Class History of ’34 CHAPTER I. It was four years ago that 125 blissfully happy and carefree children, their shoes shiny and smelling of blacking, their ribbon bows perky, attired in their starched aprons, bibs, and large bow ties, trooped up the steps of A. H. S. We were filled with youthful exuberance and joy at the thought of being Fresh- men. Our leader (they called him President) was Rolland Shannon; sub-leader or Vice- President, was Annie Snelson; a student with a ponderous volume and a pencil, our sec- retary, was Bob Spaulding; and a wee boy named Bob Murphy, was carrying a big box which rattled when he walked—probably filled with those queer things called “pennies.” Among the studious scholars of A. H. S. were roaming four Freshmen football let- termen, four basketball lettermen, and three track lettermen. CHAPTER II. With sighs of contentment, the class of '34 entered its Sophomore year; much larg- er mentally as well as physically. In the eyes of every member could be seen the determin- ation to do worthwhile things. Maybe that is why the mighty Sophs., under the leader- ship of Rolland Shannon, were first in Interclass Basketball, won the Vodvil ticket sale, and honored the Honor Society by having among their midst fourteen Sophs. Again, among the sturdy athletes could be seen four Soph Football lettermen, four Basketball lettermen, and even the girls showed their prowess by turning out four Big A girls. CHAPTER III. Looked up to by the Frosh, envied by the Sophs., and respected by the Seniors, the class entered upon its Junior year with assumed air of those who could move the world if given a place to set it! In order to insure our journey through the desert of knowledge, we again elected Rol. Shannon as chauffeur of the ’34 machine which was “rarin’ to go.” 1 his was our most productive year in high school. Four proud Juniors displayed their talents in the All-School play. We staged the most successful Junior Informal that had ever been produced in the history of A. H. S., and with eleven Juniors in the Honor Society, four football lettermen, and two basketball lettermen, we closed our Junior year with a grin of triumph. CHAPTER IV. After three successful years in high school, we have finally reached our concluding stretch as “great and powerful” Seniors. Mid-year graduation grasped our worthy president Bob Murphy, out of our clutches, but his office was ably handled under the skillful leadership of Joel Pederson the re- mainder of the year. After turning out eight football lettermen and four basketball lettermen, we staged the very successful Senior Play of “The Whole Town’s Laughing.” Now that our goal has been reached, it is with deep regret that we must bid “adieu” to our classmates and teachers. Signed: Ruth Metzger, Lorraine Germain, Betty Cady, Clarence Mickelscn, and Chester Larson.
