Lawrence Hubbard In the year of our Lord, 1925, in a quaint little village by the sea, Edmonds-on-the-Sound, there entered in the equally quaint little red brick high school of the town, sixty-five admittedly “green” and also admittedly “fresh freshmen, under the guidance of Mr. Keith A. Lyman. Mr. Lyman guided and the Class followed until at length in June, of the next year, the class, with a few additions and various subtractions, ar- rived at the stage of prospective Sophomores. Here the routine was sus- pended for a little, while the class spent three horribly long summer months anxiously awaiting school so that they might get back to their books. Having arrived at this stage of “Sophistocated” Sophomores, the Class, now under the guidance of Miss June Beebe, began to make a name for itself as a whole and as individuals. It has a few new and a few old addi- tions in the form of a few “should-be” Juniors and actually new acquaint- ances from other vicinities. It has also, as matter of course and fate, lost some of its members. Fall of 1926 and spring of 1927 passed with rapidity until the class suddenly found itself viewing the possibilities of being Juniors. This fact was faced with genuine alarm but being a very, very studious, and very conscientious class, it faced this problem with true nohdity of spirit and finally came to the realization that it is better to be a Junior than nothing at all. So after summer had rolled around and away, they came back to their punishment, meeting it with such good will that their conduct is really an object lesson showing that even under the most trying of situations, good results can be obtained if there is good material to get them with. Still with Miss Beebe to help it on its way, the Class safely and creditably passed the stormy waters of being a Junior and after three years of patient waiting it at least reached the stage of being THE SENIOR CLASS. The class had now simmered down to some thirty-six members. Mrs. Marjorie Mur- phy was holding the position of being class advisor. Having spent three years in getting a good start, and going slow so as to be able to be there first in the finish, Class now came forward and broke the tapeline two lengths ahead of the other contestants. (Of course, you understand that this is speaking less literally than metaphorically.) The Class Play, Party, Annual (as you can see for yourself), were done in twenty

brilliant style. It had far more members on the Honor Roll than is customary. In fact, all in all, in looking over the past four years, the members of the Senior Class of 1929 may have a free, and perhaps even a proud feel' ing, regarding the way they have acquitted themselves in spending four years at Edmonds High: and can, happily, to have done their best, yet re' gretfully, to be through, say good'bye to Edmonds High School. Jentor (Class :}3iunrt The four swift years of High have gone! Four years—so quickly passed! We’ve journeyed heedlessly along. And now we’re through too fast. In Algebra and in Chemistry, We’ve tried to do our best; Though may have been a mystery, We have never lost our zest. On the honor roll we’ve placed most high, We’ve all been leaders true: A - work we’ve never learned to sigh. Though our tasks have not been few. In Athletics, Wireless, and in Glee, We’ve always done our share; In the Torch, our names in mass you'll see. We’ve tried to do work fair. To the Juniors, Sophs, and Freshies, too, We leave our high estate; Wf wish them luck in all they do—- May gladness be their fate. To Mrs. Murphy, our Guiding Star, We wish best luck and wealth; To our teachers, who have led us far. We wish best joy and health. And now wc pledge allegiance true, Edmonds High School on the Sound; W ’ll remember you in whate’er we do— THE BEST SCHOOL EVER FOUND! twenty-one
