Class History ' Continued Wayne Ross, Wayne Marrs, John Beltico, Ray Carson, George Bower, George I.undquist and lVlanly Nlaben. Just to prove that size isn't every- thing Leonard Erickson was presented with the Nis Abrahamson trophy. This award is given for sportsmanship, leadership, scholarship and general ability. The honorary captaincy was awarded to Jack Plhrhart. Both were selected by their team mates. Basketball players for the year were: Ed Smith, Jack lihrhart, Chester Bergeron, John Beltico, Wvayne Ross, Kenneth Smith, George Bower and John Nlartinson. The team won more than half of the games played and did very well in the southwest tournament. VVayne Ross received the hon- onarv captaincy and John Beltico received the C. Penney inspirational trophy. The night before the Thanksgiving Day game we presented our HSenior Nite at the theater. The more talented members of the class presented the well-known com- edy, The Patsy, for our senior play. It was a grand comedy. The cast consisted of Nlarianne Vaumund, Jerry VValker, Amy lNIajor, Ashley Fuller, Helen Ackley, Leonard Erickson, Gayl Rychard, VVayne Nlarrs and Ed Parks. Something new was started in the school this year when the Boys' Glee Club presented The Happy Hollow Nlinstrel Show. Nlany of the cast were seniors. The Junior-Senior Ball this year took the form of a Nlexican Fiesta. The lights were decorated with red and yellow in Nlexican carnival style. Punch was served from a Spanish pergola, and there was even a Mexican well. A large number of students attended and were very enthusiastic about the decorations as they danced amid Mexican flowers and under alluring balconies. Class officers for the first semester were :Jack Ehrhart, president, Omar Parker, vice-president, Allen Stinchfield, secretary, Don lVIclVIunn, treas- urerg John Hjorten, sergeant-at-arms, John Frodel, class representative, Second semester ofticers were: Jack Ehrhart, president, Amy Nlajor, vice-presidentg Manly Maben, secretary, Omar Parker, treasurerg Vvayne Ross, sergeant-at-armsg Allen Stinchfield, class representative, Leonard Erickson was yell leader for both semesters. And today is Class Day! No more will the underclassmen see us roam- ing about the halls. A new senior class will attend classes in H. H. S. We, the class of '35, leave our school with heavy hearts but we feel that we have accomplished some things of worth, to both the school and the students. We hope that we shall not soon be forgotten and we leave to the juniors the best legacy we can give-the happy bitter-sweet days that have been ours in the last year. And now for our Hesperian, and goodbye! nu-nn-iiif-iiin-nit-iinina.-.iu..iitiki...-ini:-:uni-'iii-un,im,un,nu,im,nu1nn1W1im1W1im1im1iu..-ii...-n..1....1 1

Class History - Continued lucky as it could have been but we won the Thanksgiving Day game and what else matters. Those who starred for us were: Manly Maben, George Lundquist, George Bower, Wayne Ross, john Hjorten, jack Ehrhart, John Beltico and Howard lrland. Our representation on the basketball team was considerably smaller but those we did contribute were good. They were: Jack Ehrhart, John Beltico and Wayne Ross. Those who turned out for track were: Ed Smith, John Martinson, Ches- ter Bergeron, George Lundquist, john Stoddard and Arnold Carlson. Our only boy tennis player was Jack Ehrhart. The girls in our class didn't seem to be athletically inclined but neverthe- less we had a few. They were: Martha lVlickelson, Julia Conner, Ruth Lawrence and Lorraine Wise. There were almost as many juniors as seniors on the 1934 Hesperian staff. The juniors who seemed to have a desire to become journalists were: Gertrude Anderson, June Mickelson, Peggy Foster, Kathryn Groves, Gayl Rychard, Annaray Connell, Margaret Quigg, Helen Ackley and Paul Kari. Note the lack of boys! Evidently they couldn't take it! ln accordance with school custom the juniors presented a mystery play. Many a thrill and chill passed down the spines of the audience when We presented The Yellow Shadow. Our spooks were: Marianne Vaumund, James Weiblen, Helen Ackley, Gertrude Anderson, Amy Major, Marie Schneider, Willard Jones, Paul Kari, Ed Parks and Arnold Carlson. Officers for the first semester were: Sherman Beatty, president, Bill Kosoff, vice-president, Leonard Erickson, secretary, Jack Ehrhart, treasurer, Howard lrland, sergeant-at-arms, George Bower, class representative. Sec- ond semester ofhcers were: Jack Ehrhart, president, Gunnar Hedstrom, vice- presidentg George Bower, secretary-treasurer, Arnold Carlson, sergeant-at- arms, John Frodel, class representative. Jack Henderson was yell leader for both semesters. Of course we had to help the seniors give the Junior-Senior Ball. ln the midst of our nice spring weather we had, appropriately enough, a Japan- ese Cherry Festivalf' The hall was beautifully decorated with cherry blos- soms and the ball was a huge success. Y Last but not least! we certainly did a lot of work gathering flowers and shrubs for the graduating seniors. We collected enough to open a green- house. The only consolation for doing it was the thought that the juniors would be doing the same for us the next year. After a well-earned vacation We returned as dignified seniors. We have made our share of noise in the past but we actually decided to settle down. The senior football heroes were: Omar Parker, Don McMunn, Leonard Erickson, Jack Ehrhart, Howard lrland, Ashley Fuller, John Hjorten,. mvmi1uuvuu1unlnuvuiv1niiTnn:nin--lin-inuv:mvun1:1191mulnn1mln:-:Ill-unvnns-nn-nn-nalluvain!-:Illini-Lili:-:ini-Q I 21 1

CLASS PCEM Oh, Senior Class of ,Thirty-five, Be up and coming, and alive! With colors flying, blue and white, We're on our way to win life's fight. No more our steps will turn this way When once is reached Commencement Day. Our hopes ahead, our fears behind, All hearts are pledged, new goals to find. When others in the Fall return, For you, old school, our hearts will yearn. We trust our footsteps will resound In hearts of friends we here have found. To you, whose guidance we have had, The blessings of each lass and lad. Best wishes from this class of ours, And may your path be strewn with flowers. -lean Zlflariff Lazzglzlirz. CLASS SONG OLD HOQUIAM HIGH CT1mc:JUy Blue-Eyed Suej Old Hoquiam High, soon we must leave you, Leave our friends so true, And our teachers, too. Dear Hoquiam High, oh, how we'll need you And the lessons taught us by you. We'll miss the Crimson and Gray As we go down the aisle today, For we must leave our loyal school forever. But we'll go on With cherished memories, Dearest school of all, Hoquiam High. But now, forewell to you, dear classmatesg But before we go, We want you to know That through the years we'll think about you And of happy hours we knew. We'll miss the Crimson and Gray As we go down the aisle today, For we must leave our loyal school forever. Farewell to you, Our Alma Mater. We'll be proud of you, Hoquiam High. -Chatter Bergeron IfVayne R055 l23l
