Glass 1btstor ’ 08 . President, Anson Allen. Secretary and Treasurer, Lennah Parker. We were by far the most enthusiastic class of Freshmen that had entered the High School. We at once held a class meeting, elected class officers and made a large class pennant, the envy of all the other classes, who imme¬ diately began to do likewise. We also gave a picnic at the A. F. C. field, where we held an amateur track meet for both boys and girls. ’ 09 . President, Abel Wright. Secretary and Treasurer, Lennah Parker. In the year of ’09 the first thing on our program was a launch ride. On this trip we explored the lower harbor and took a trip to Fort Clatsop. Later in the year we gave a party at Logan’s Hall for the purpose of raising class funds, but, as every one knows, such means does not always accomplish the desired end. Even if we did not increase our bank account we had enough punch left to revive our spirits the next day. TO. President, Anson Allen. Vice President, Margaret Griffin. Secretary, Elva Jeldness. Treasurer, Abel Wright. Our Junior year was a very eventful one, one that will not be forgotten soon by any in the class. By hard labor on two shows at the Crystal, we succeeded in securing means to carry us through the hardest year of our school life. One of the shows was entirely original, both words and music having been composed by members of the class, which of course made it interesting to all. We may safely say, too, that our Junior class had a larger bank account than any of the preceding classes. Our former successes made us feel so energetic that we decided to ob¬ serve flag day. Upon arrival at school early in the morning of that mem¬ orable day we nailed our flag to a telegraph pole on the school block. After the other classes had spent their allotted time in trying to get it down, and were unsuccessful, we took it down. Not long after this our pennant was

stolen by some of the jealous upper classmen. Near the end of the next month the Sophomores gave a picnic to North Head in honor of the Juniors. On the evening of Thursday, June 22, our Junior reception took place. The hall was beautifully decorated in pennants, greens and electric lights. After an hour’s reception, dancing took place and continued until the small hours of the morning. This reception, the best of its kind yet given by classes, has set a standard for succeeding classes. Members of the class took an active part in the Senior play, thereby adding credit to their reputation in the line of histrionic art. ’ll. President, Fred Hardesty. Vice President, Evelyn Stewart. Secretary, Margaret Griffin. Treasurer, Brewer Billie. The year ’ll will be the most interesting and of course the longest remem¬ bered of the four, as it is our last year in the High School, as well as the first i.n our new school building. The Seniors, both boys and girls, have taken an active part in athletics, winning the championship at each opportunity. We may also hold the record in oratorical contests, for those of the ’ll class who have been on the society debating teams have made a name for them¬ selves. We expect to have an exceptionally enjoyable time on Class Day. The Seniors are also anticipating with a great deal of pleasure the Junior reception. The class of ’ll will have a speaker to deliver an address the night of graduation, but of course we shall have a few orations for the purpose of showing that we have acquired some knowledge while in high school. L. G. P. VALEDICIMUS. Tibi quae nos per annos omnes lingos cum laetitus et doloritus eorum duxit, O Alma Mater, genus MCMXI valedicit. Sed verum nin valedicimus nam orbis terrarum nos in die aut anno tui nin oblivisci faciet sed semper te cum binore crescente fovebimus et quisqui dies fructum disciplinae et studii veri feret. Dum umbrae procedentes in auram tenuem ex oculis suc- cedentes evanescunt semper cum nobis aderis. Nec orbis terraram nos ab amplexu dulce tuo divellere poterit. V. EOCKARD. E. LEAHY.
