16 1920 ECHO The Freshmen Class, 1923 HE Freshman Class began the school year by having afternoon sessions. To the delight of the upper classes, the Freshmen were obliged to go to school in this manner for sev¬ eral days. By the time we began reg¬ ular school sessions, they were not caught walking the corridors hunting for rooms. The Freshmen were well represent¬ ed in the cheering section during the football season. There were aJbout three girls from the Freshmen class in the “American Girl,” the play given by the Girls’ Glee Club. On account of the large number of pupils in the school, this year, the Freshmen had but two entertainments in the hall, the first was during Better Speech Week, Margaret Streckland, gave us a very enjoyable entertain¬ ment. The second was just before the Christmas vacation when a Christmas story was read. Raymond Davey, representing the Freshmen Class, read the first portion of the story. At the ‘‘Prize Speaking Contest,” Helen Michelson, and Raymond Da¬ vey, both from the Commercial Divi¬ sion, represented the Freshmen Class. The next events were the dances held by the Freshmen on Friday after¬ noons. The first was managed by the College division. Those who took part in the entertainment were Edward Willoughby, who played a piano solo, Marie Vaughn, who sang a solo, Helen Michelson, who read and Philip Ca- dieau, who played the victrola. The second was managed by the Commer¬ cial division. Those who took part in the entertainment were Marie Vaughn, Helen Michelson, Raymond Davey, who read, and Emily Johnson, who played the victrola at this entertain¬ ment. Abraham Hulberman, third base, and John Noonan, centre field, are the Freshmen on the baseball team. This completes the activities of the Freshmen Class during 1919-1920. Emily Johnson Charlotte R. Brown Eleanor Neil. PATHE (tic) NEWS By Albert J. Baader POSITIVE REACTIONS C4A+English—Sleep. Eames—something doing—trouble. Hunt+Jazz Music—St. Vitus’ Dance. Billy Beck+home work— ' NO REAC¬ TION. Girl+raised desk cover—Vanity case. Why do girls at a dance: Put powder on their faces, and then rest their heads on the shoulder of your Blue Serge? Wear knit sweaters, so you have to spend all the next day in picking the colored fuzz off of your coat sleeve? Black their eye-brows, so that the black runs down their cheeks after a few dances? Wear those “Bangs” over their ears, and then spend all the time between dances asking one another how they look? Wear those filmy evening scarfs that tangle your hands up so that you put your finger through them three or four times in trying to re¬ cover your hand. Who can find: A Chord in the wood pile? A Scale in the fish-pond? A Tie in the races? A Flat to live in? A Measure in the flour barrel? A Time for the clock? A Tonic for the doctor? A Rest for the weary? A Brace for the carpenter?

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.

1920 ECHO 17 A High School Fleet Dwight H. McMahon OME time ago, the Specta¬ tor heard Professor Athearn speak. He opened his ad¬ dress by presenting a fleet of ships which were used in religious education. Now if we take some of the professor’s ships and add some of our own, we shall have a high school fleet. Probably the best known ship in our ship is “Sportsman-ship A first class man-o-war is this ship, with up- to-date equipment and the highest type of training for her crew. From her mainmast flies the crimson and blue. Her achievements give us con¬ tinual pride. “Teamwork” is the watchword on board. When the ship is in action-, each of her crew flings his whole energy into the fray. Each strives to deserve his “E” rather than a “Y” (yellow). All other ships have high respect for the “E. H. S. Sports¬ man”. Time after time she has come into port with that prize boat of all schools, the “Championship” in tow. Another mighty ship in our fleet is “Fellowship.” I think I see her as a pleasure yacht riding at anchor. It is on board her that we have our class meetings, our cluib meetings, and all other social events. The band is fre¬ quently playing. Everything on board is to be enjoyed. There are also quiet, informal occasions. We can recall many a pleasant time which was un¬ planned and unlooked for. A sister ship to “Fellow-ship” is “Friend-ship”. Each one of us has an intimate friend and many close friends in High School. We exchange pictures at graduation that we may seal our friendship. We trust that the friends which we gain at High School will be our friends for life. At the head of our little fleet is “Leader-ship.” Student “Leader-ship” is what I refer to. We make this ship ourselves. We choose her timbers and place them in their positions. One fellow we place as a captain, another fellow as a president, while still an¬ other fellow or a girl we place at the head of a committee. School spirit is at its flood tide when our leaders fulfill our ideal of leaders and when we ful¬ fill their ideal of supporters. The greatest ship in our fleet is “Scholar-ship”. Without this ship, the fleet could not exist. I think I see
