One of the “sweetest” and most profitable affairs of the year was held at the candy booth at the Juvenile Fair, and so great was the demand for home made candy, that all our sweets were gone in half an hour. In this term the following members brought honors to the class on the football team: Timon Toikleson, Arthur Fertig, Louis Malagamba and Carl Sanders. To the High School basket ball team we furnished excellent men. The class, wishing to leave a memento to the High School, donated frames for the pictures of “Cicero ' s Oration Against Cataline, “The Dance of the Nymphs,” and a “Portrait of Lincoln., ' The class also has decided to purchase pins as reminders in later years of life of their High School days. Now after four years, filled with many happy memories and tasks accomplished, we are about to sever the ties that bind us and enter upon a new and broader field of labor. As we go forth let us ever remember with affection and gratitude the days spent in the A. Id. S. 25

bright morning, we went by boat to the Youngs River Falls, where we spent our time fishing, exploring, and playing games. Then our spread! Was it not most delicious? And the coffee—ex¬ cellent—thanks to Mr. Johnston. Great excitement prevailed for a few moments on our homeward trip when a sudden splash w r as heard and we saw two of our worthy members battling with the current. By their in¬ dividual efforts, however, they reached land safely, and with no further catastrophe the day ended. Junior Year.

The pennants sold like hot cakes and brought in the required funds. In the athletic sports we were ably represented both in football and basket ball. 1 he Junior girls also made a creditable showing in basket ball. On May 18th there took place the greatest event of the season, “The County hair. 1 he parade of Juniors wended its way majestically through the streets of Astoria. I he float “Saddle Mountain” led the way. automo¬ biles filled with pretty g irls carrying innumerable banners, representing the different mei chants of Astoria, clowns and a wild man, were anion? its . - o novel features, and each in turn were greeted by the admiring crowds that lined the way. But the Fair! The splendidly staged vaudeville claimed the most people and most money. Then there was the Japanese Tea Garden, which was entrancing in its beautiful decorations, besides lesser attractions. Ninety-five dollars were cleared from this fair, the largest sum which has been cleared from any benefit by a class, since the founding of the High School in 1883. Die Junior Picnic invitations were extended to the Seniors. We started from the dock on the two Pilots, and after cruising awhile on the river landed at Flavel and walked a mile to the beach. A large bon-fire was built around which we gathered to partake of the delicious “eats.” I hen with the moon shining clearly we walked back to the boats and cruised back home, each voting ' the trip a grand success Then the Junior Prom. This was most elaborate, and a splendid success. Tire hall was beautifully decorated with greens. A large crowd of the High School students and alumni attended. Punch was served from a pretty decorated bower. In every way the Prom, was the most enjoyable function in the annals of the High School. Senior Year. On September 16th, 1912, we entered the school for ottr last year as proud and d.gmfted Seniors. We had at last arrived at the top of ' the ladder. The officers elected for this year were- President, Carl Sanders; Vice President, Dorothy Epping; Secretary, — 24 —
