14 1920 ECHO CLASS OF 1921 By M. K. E. S. D. H. E, the class of 1921, entered the High School our Fresh¬ man year with a resolution deep in mind, that of being the best or one of the best classes to go through High. When we entered in 1919 as the Junior Class we still held its school spirit and eager expectations. As the first step, we elected our of¬ ficers, Roger Sweetland, president; Frank Golden, vice president; Lillian Lounsbury, secretary; Harry Mc- Queeney, treasurer. Our football season opened with a biff and a bang, a crack and a slam with “Buckie”, Hanson, Beck, and Thacher. Thacher played substitut¬ ing half-back most of the time, Beck and Hanson both in lines as tackles. “Buckie” was the pride of the Junior class playing the big part in many games ma king interscholastic quarter¬ back. The great excitement came when we eagerly read on the boards, “Joint Class Meetings, all come! ! !” We were all assembled in the iMain Half at 7.30 and music soon filled the air. During % the intermission, all eagerly indulged in the ice cream while listening to the fine entertainment. Everyone in leaving remarked as to the good time they had enjoyed and were looking forward to the next meeting. We were well represented in the Lyceum debates by Dwight McMahon, Kenneth Prescott,. Harry McQueeney, Elmer Kerwin, Joseph Lobdell, Chester Hills, Harland Carpenter. Dwight McMahon was one of the principal debaters and a leading speaker in the debate with Salem. Harry McQueeney also being one of the best, having been scheduled to debate as Salem but owing to severe illness was prevented from doing so. There were a few clubs’ in this class, among them the Franklin Club—a club consisting of twelve boys who have very successfully given a dance at Whittier Hall and many parties, we hope that it will still continue next year. The other clubs are the Chem¬ istry Club, Commercial Club and the Nifty Nine. Our warblers in the Girls’ Glee Club were Alice Badger, Esther Wehner, Lois Large, Emily Steenson, Dorothy Driscoll, Doris Hubert and Ellen Lund- gren. In the Prize Speaking Contest Eliza¬ beth Isenman and Albert Morris rep¬ resented the Junior Class. The lights were gleaming—the mu¬ sic jazzing as the couples danced that memorable night in Whittier Hall at the Junior Prom. A committee was at first formed and the work was smoothly carried on. The music was furnished by Tournquist’s Orchestra. We also were very much entertained by a “little dancing friend of Buckie’s” who aroused much life in the audience. The matrons were Mrs. Sweetland, Mrs. Badger, Mrs. Davies and Miss Marshall. This dance was an over¬ whelming success and the best dance ever undertaken. In concluding we wish the Seniors every possible Suc¬ cess and Happiness. It’s all right for a man To be absent minded But his mind shouldn ' t overstay Its leave of absence.

1920 ECHO 13 CLASS HISTORY IHE Class Ship 1920 is scheduled to leave port the latter part of June, but just a review of its pleasure excursions dur¬ ing the past year may not be out of place. With Roy Kelley as Captain, Joe Hughes, First Mate, Beatrice Sulli¬ van to keep the Ship’s Log, and Ruth Le Baron assisted by Ruth Connors in Purser’s position, we set sail. Headed by Pilot Beck, a crew con¬ sisting of Silvaggio, Kelley, Eames, Salvi, Porter, von Rosenvinge, Hiltz, Bazley, Hulsman, Alford, Masse, Harrington and Janscy, left the ship and set out for Gridiron Island. Al- tho Bobsy Sullivan at the fog horns cheered them up and altho they had warm blankets (presented by the decided to get first prizes, and the girls of the E. H. S. Fleet) still they judges decided Carl Wennerblad arrived a second too late to find the treasure of the island called “Championship.” In the saloon we had class meet¬ ings and were served with “Knox and Slamz” at intermission. Then one stormy night when the sea rolled, the Glee Club entertained us with “The American Girl.” At Christmas time Ed Hogan became t Santa Claus and distributed his gifts among the steerage. A special detective was engaged, as the Pur¬ ser’s desk had been swamped with the proceeds of the Senior Dance— Billy Beck deckman. A windy evening in March we had a Prize Speaking Contest. “Ted” von Rosenvinge and Lucile Hannum should have second prize. And as the May flowers bloomed, we saw “Green Stockings.” Misses Brown and Marshall supervised the wearing of the so-called stockings in true ship-shape. And then to guard our Diamond are Kelley, Hull, Porter, Silvaggio, Doucet, Reynolds, Malmgren, and Harris. The various clubs, too, have all done their part to make life aboard ship pleasant. Our ship has touched the rocks and reefs, but now as we are to sail upon the Broad Ocean of Life, the passengers of “1920” wish to those whose ship is not yet launched “BON VOYAGE.” Marian Mae Curley.

1920 ECHO 15 Class of 1922 HIS year has been a very prosperous one for the Soph¬ omores. Our representative on the football squad was Andrew Oberlander, who played a fast game in the backfield. The members of the • Sophomore class who represented us on the diamond were, John Noonan, who is a very ag¬ gressive player, Harry Hall, who, if he keeps up his good work, will be one of the ‘best pitchers Everett ever turned out, and Chesley Corkum, a promising young catcher. We are proud of our players and hope that next year they will do fully as good if not better than they have this year. Our memiber on the Christmas Com¬ mittee was Andrew Oberlander. Our members who tried out in the prize¬ speaking oontesit were Mary Hutchings and Walter Morris. Walter rendered his piece with such effectiveness, that he won the audience prize, and al¬ though Mary did not win the prize, she gave a very good account of her¬ self. Our song birds who chirped in the Glee Club were Audrey Hobbs, Audrey Pierce, Winifred Curran, and Marjorie Cate. These girls certainly can sing, and we hope they will re¬ peat this year’s performance next year, and please us with their melodious voices. We also wish to praise Lau- rice Boudette for his splendid playing, in entertaining the school on Wednes¬ day mornings, and Lillian Sawyer, whose superb playing on the cornet, thrilled us more than once. Not to be outdone by the “Junior Prom” and “Senior Dance”, the Soph¬ omores held a social of their own in which most of the members of the class were present. The members of the entertainment committee were Mary Hutchings, John Keligan and Melvin von Rosenvinge. The mem¬ bers of the refreshment committee were Verona Sheehan, Harry Hall, and Andrew Oberlander. An orchestra composed of members of the Sopho¬ more class rendered the music, and they did it in fine style. There was dancing and games, after which re¬ freshments were served. A good time was enjoyed by all. The teachers who chaperoned the party were Miss Mo¬ ran, Miss Hoyt, Miss Cameron, Miss Dugan, and Miss Bradford. Our mem¬ ber who read the Christmas story was Raymond Fennell. The honor pupil of the class was Walter Morris. A theatre party was held under the charge of Miss Moran. The pupils saw the play “Julius Caesar,” which greatly helped them in their English. Several members of the Sophomore class joined the Lyceum, and derived great benefit from the institution. The Commercial Sophomores were very active. Several theatre parties were held throughout the year and good times were enjoyed by all who participated. We, the members of the Sophomore class, wish to thank our teachers for the kind help that they have given us, and especially Mr. Rockwood, whose kind advice, has helped us greatly to complete our first two years in Everett High suc¬ cessfully. To the departing Seniors we say, “Sail on!” We hope that they will never forget those good old days at Everett High. We wish them all good luck, and hope that they will be as successful in their future life as they were here at Everett High. —Raymond Fennell.
