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

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?

18 1920 ECHO this ship as a huge trireme with an oar for every student on board. In our earnest moments we realize that the training on this ship is to fit us for life. As in sports so likewise in studies, the reputation of Everett High is an honorable one. Graduates have gone into college and into busi¬ ness and have reflected great credit upon their training here. During the war, the government sent out an S. O. S. call: “ships our .salvation.” With this High School fleet of ships at the disposal of every student, we have the means of working out our temporal salvation. It re¬ mains with us to do it. —Dwight H. McMahon. CLASS PLAY By A Critic HE Class Play this year was, to use one of Mr. “Bugs” Baer’s pet phrases, “tres bien” (pronounced three beans). Of course, you all saw it so that saves me the trouble of proving it but no harm will be done if we just take up a page or so and review the notable event. As we all know and admit, the Class of ’20 had much talent and many re¬ markable people so this insured a splendid cast. Before going further we will remind you just who the catet included: “Ted” von Rosenvinge, the youth with peroxide-colored hair, and “Bobs” Sullivan, the girl who made Elsie Ferguson a back number, were leading man and leading lady. “Ed” J. Hogan, (the J stands for Jazz) made John Barrymore a bitter enemy by showing John up. Ruth Conners, Beatrice McGillen, Dorothy Arnold, Ruth Davis, and Lucile Hannum all have been offered contracts to star in the movies and Arthur Liddell, Albert Van der hoof, Charles Hooper, Carl “Bobs” Sullivan Wennerblad, and Harris Lamson, most of whom have decided to remain ac¬ tors the rest of their lives rather than work, complete the cast. If any person doubts that this was an all-star cast, we will run “East Lynne” some time “Ted” von Rosenvinge in the future for their benefit. The directors were Miss Brown and Miss Marshall and I understand that Mr. Ziegfield, who wrote the book “The Ziegfield Follies,” has been try¬ ing to get a few pointers from them on how to produce a show right.
