CL SS HISTORY H w short the time seems since we first entered upon our school career, since that morning, four years ago when we entered these portals of learning, filled with a feel- ing of wonder and awe. A feeling that we were strangers, entering an entirely new world. The upper classmon must have considered us much in the same light. Judging from the looks, cuf ous, patronizing or filled with malicious glee with which thW favored us. This state of affairs, however, did not last long. One fateful cvenigg wo were asked to attend a party given in our honor—from which we «merged, much the wiser and with a feoling that wo were no longer strangers but one of them. Mr. Tisdale became our advisor and undor his leader- ship we organized our class, with Ruth Colo, president and Rosa Swanson, secretary and treasurer. Wc chose greon and pink for our class colors and Success Comes in Cans , for our motto. These proliminarios over, wo settled down to work with an earnestness that became the wonder of the rest of tho school. Wo pursued this policy of earnest, thoughtful work all through tho noxt yoar, pausing only to elect our officers, Alma Anderson, president and Greta Smith, secretary and Treasurer. Prom tho first wo took special interest in the froshmon and one day late in October, wo proved that revengo is indeed sweet. In our Junior yoar Miss Scheyor was our class advisor, Lucilio Richardson, prosidont and Alma Anderson, secretary and treasurer. Wo changed our colors to blue and silver. Several candy sales were given during tho yoar and the grand climax was tho Sonior Farowell given noar the ond of the torm. Wc treated the Soniors to an? old fashioned hay- riok ride and picnic but the unforsoen happnndd and tho affair ended in a hiking party. Thus passed Throe years of our high School fi 'o and lo.' wo had gained the long envied position. ' Jnder tho supervis- ion of Miss Riloy tho class has partaken of many activitios. To guide us through tho year wo chose Ed Meyers, president and Maurice Bergcrson, secretary and Treasurer. »' At tho first of tho yoar camo Myrtld and Dorothy Dirks, helping to swell our rapidily diminlfch ng number. Wo lost two ofour number, Efcma Porsberg end Wcsloy GrotJan due to their midyear graduation. Some o£ our activities for tho year wore a theater party given at midyear in honor of our two graduating members, and early in the springe hike taken up tho sides of Mt. filchuck and a trip to Snoqualamie Palls. Tho Sonior play, Tho Adventures of Grandpa , was a ffio- cided'success due in great part to the efficient coaching of Misj Riloy. So the history of the last four years has been a his- tory of struggles and pleasures, of work and play, and oftor we go out into the work wc shall always carry with us memorioe of Luko Stevens High.

SENIOR SOCIETY NEWS In January two of the Senior class, anna Forsberg and Wesley Grotjan, graduated. The rest of the class sug- gested a theater-party in their honor. The seniors were all enthusiastic, so tickets were purchased for the film, North of 56 which was showing in Everett, The two hon- ored ones were notified of the proceedings, and a lunch was arranged at the horae of Alma Anderson, to he enjoy- ed after the play. Miss Helen Riley, the class advisor, and Edward Meyers, shiek of the class, took the party to Everett in their cars, and brought them back to Alma’s afterwards. The memberssof the party all enjoyed them- selves immensely. Along about the second week in March, some of the Seniors happened to think that no one had, as yet, attemp- ted to climb the white and slippery sides of our home moun- tain BAJLohuck. So the class decided it was up to them to earn’recognition as the first party to scale its sides in 1925, Therefore, the next Sunday morning , the class met in front »f the town’s one and only drug store, and depart- ed for the distant mountain in three cars. The climb was hard and the snow was deep, but the pasty persevered, and finally reached the top where they were deeply disappointed to find that they had been preseded by another party. But they were glad that they had accomplished so difficult a feat as early as the last of March. The only sad results: were the sudden dislikes several of the members of the class seemed to suddenly entertain for anything that uosembled raisins or chocolate. But you couldn’t blame them—that’s all they had to eat on their trip. After their trip the class decided it was time to start work on a play, After looking around for a suitable one, they finally decided on TThe Adventures of Grandpa , Miss Riley, Miss Asp, and Miss Krogstad then set to the task of choosing the cast. The following ones were fin- ally decided upon: Otis Hammerhead from Ohio, (Grandpa)—Edward Meyers. Monte Ray, ‘ Grandpa’s grandson--------Eugene Ruthford.
