Pat Utterstad and Carolyn Smith. The Mother Goose theme was beauti- fully carried out for the junior-Senior Ball, and the assembly, A Gay Nine- ties Review, completed the year's activities. As Grand Ol' Seniors the class chose Bob Strom president for the first half of the year and Jack Flway for the second semester. Other ofiicers were Carol Berger, vice president: Pat Ross, secretary: Mike Gunning, treasurer: Chuck Hillstead, sergeant-at-arms: and Howard Ray and Bob Yvalker, yell kings. At the second meeting of the class Ellen Karolyn Chris- tensen and Herb Grenland were elected to edit the Hesperian. Hip-hip, hurraylll Xve skinned the 'Catsl chanted semi-hysterical seniors at the close of the Thanksgiving Day game. The Senior Nite vaudeville, Penthouse Serenade, and the pep rally were held in the gym this year. Reigning royalty for the junior-Senior Ball were King .lack lflway and his glamorous queen, Carolyn -lohannes. Chuck Hillstead and Carol Berger were the prince and princess who attended them in an Old lfnglish Christ- mas setting. Going all out to make Dress-up Day a success, the class outdid them- selves in the costumes and skits they originated. But best of all, perhaps, was the Kid Party when seniors really let down their hair and had such a hilarious time that many of them petitioned Miss VVilliams to put on just one morei' before the end of school. The senior picnic at Deep l.ake was the last informal activity of the year. ln football the Honorary Captaincy went to Bill lfarley and the ln- spirational Award to jim Gill. jack Tflway and Chuck Hillstead shared honors for the Honorary Captaincy, and Dan Hartough received the lnspi- rational Award for basketball. Ellen Karolyn Christensen and Herb Reese took the class scholastic honors. Ellen Karolyn won the Valedictory with a 96.85 average, and Herb's 95.06 won him the Salutatory. For Baccalaureate, the seniors donned caps and gowns for the initial ceremony of the graduation week. lt was then, for the first time, that many of them realized just how soon those carefree days in Hoquiam High School would be a thing of the p21Sl'. Class Day brought a still keener recognition of that fact, and there were tears as well as smiles during the program. And when Commencement night arrived, the seniors received their diplomas, grateful to have been a part of a school which takes pride in its scholastic traditions and staunchly defends its democratic tenets, and with a keen ap- preciation of the opportunities that Hoquiam, as a community, offers its younger generation.

7-fue Zfeafzs assin eview olik YEARS have passed and the time for leave-taking has come. Students of the Class of '49 are ready to say farewell to the class rooms and cor- ridors of Hoquiam High School. In addition to the fruits of a well-planned curriculum, the seniors will take with them much that will not appear on their diplomas---memories of dances and dates joined with the dozens of amazing and amusing incidents that have happened this year. And surely no senior class that has graduated from Hoquiam High School has a better right to the use of superlatives. Farthquakes, Hoods, and the coldest winter on record have all contributed their share to that practice.

The next im- portant event on the calendar was the sophomore hop, f'Teddy Bear Tumble. X Nlany sophomores were attracted by basketball and football, and places were won on both the first and second squads. A squad lettermen for foot- ball were Freeman, lflway, and Farley.
