Reah Kennedy Jack King During the year 1932-33, there were about one hundred and five freshmen enrolled under Miss Ruth McConihe and Mr. Paul McGibbon. As freshmen they took active part in all activities and had planned a picnic at Hall’s Lake on the last day of the school, but because of rain, they went to the Coterie clubhouse in Edmonds. When the class entered as sophomores there were one hundred and one pupils. They were registered under Mrs. Hallie B. Anderson and Mr. Warren Bieber. The sophomores had more Torch members than any other class in the high school. The class was well represented in athletics by both boys and girls. Football lettermen were: Jack King, Allyn Hanbey, Don Clausen and Don Houle. Basketball first team members were: Jack King, Alfred Flint and Don Houle; the second team was composed mostly of sophomores. They were represented on the track team also. At the girls’ sports day a few sophomore girls were all-star players. A large per cent of the band and orchestra members were sophomores. The sophomores made their debut May 19, when the class held its very successful class party. Judges at the Western Washington Music Meet at the University of Washington, April 21, acclaimed Jack King’s trumpet playing as excellent. twenty-three

Caroline Benner Kenneth Yost Kenneth Yost September morn 1931 revealed to a waiting world a group of freshmen destined to change its history. Eighty strong, the neophytes surged through the halls to be corralled finally in rooms 3 and 4 where they were housed for a year under the tender ministrations of Inga Stevens and Paul Me- Gibbon. Honors for the year were won in various fields: Five were accepted for Torch; many took part in the vodvil; Richard Murphy won first place in the Snohomish county scholarship contest in general science and Martha Louise Bliss tied for first place in Latin. Dolores Telford won first place in Snohomish county declamatory contest in the dramatic division. When their intelligence had increased, the powers called the thirty-fivers upstairs where in rooms 7 and 9 they were gently molded into shape by Mrs. Hallie Anderson and Warren Bieber. More coveted honors were won so that in this year Torch called nine to membership. Many again starred in vodvil; others placed in football, basketball, tennis and track. During the summer of 1933 the class lost one of its best-loved members. Bill Cleary. Their years now sit lightly on the juniors. The majority of the class give promise of becoming the cream of the crop next year. Modesty alone forbids their admitting the fact now, according to their advisors, Mrs. Bliss and Mr. Parsons. They now boast ten Torch members; four on the first squad in football; one on the first squad in basketball; five on the leads of the operetta, and four on the stage crew; five are members of the Letter- men’s Club; seven are in the Letterwomen’s Club. Dick Young has been vice-president of the Student Association and of the Boys' Club, and Marylu Podas has been vice-president of the Girls’ Club this year. tiventy'two

First Semester Freshmen Class Second Semester Ray Irby ............ Mary Elizabeth Davis Jess Wasser.......... Mildred Hudson ..... ..... President ................ Margaret Little .. Vice-President .................. Alex Kask Secretary-Treasurer .... Mary Elizabeth Davis .. Board of Control ............ Carl Swanson Boasting over one hundred members, the freshmen class entered Ed- monds High School intent on becoming acquainted with a different school life and acquiring such knowledge as they could from all sources available. They have succeeded very well in both fields, and although they have not been a really active class, they have prepared themselves for the true activity which usually comes when a class has reached its sophomore year. Mr. McGibbon and Miss McConihe were the freshmen advisors. Various members of the class were lost due to withdrawal and moving. The majority of girls in the glee club, also in the nonette and trio, were freshmen. The freshmen boys entered a basketball league with a squad of the fol- lowing team members: Art Grover, Billy Anderson, Alex Stewart, Carl Swanson, Ray Irby, Ted Williams, Bud Low and Bob Barnfather. twenty'four
