-10- CLASS HISTORY Backward, turn backxvaid Oh time, on thy way, Make me a child again Just for today. '.Vere we not all mere children when we proudly occupied the front seats of the assembly hall for the first time? rfe were Freshmen to be sure, but Freshmen who soon attracted much notice from the upper classmen for our extraordinary work in athletics, dramatics and scholastic standings. Yes, we were initiated, but we bravely bore our torture and were soon one of them. Our worthy officers for that year were President, Pauline Richardson; Secretary, Vera Hjort; Treasurer, Donald Lofton; and Class Advisor, Mr. Nissen. In our second year of high school we won still more glory. When we initiated the Frosh we Did unto others as others had done unto us only we were a little more generous with our pranks of agony, and it was an event that will never be for- gotten by the class of '28. New members to enter our class whom we gladly welcomed were, Jim Hawkins, Louise Lawrence, Sadie Lawrence, Vincent Paschal, and Ivan Akers. Ihe stars who shone the brightest on the gridiron of 1925, were mostly Sophomores. We also did our duty in basket ball, baseball and girls' athletics. Cur efficient leaders for '25 were, Eugene Ruthford, President; Ruby Richardson, Secretary and Treasurer; Miss Morgan, Class Advisor. When we returned to school as Juniors our class had de- creased in number, but not in intellect. A number of our class had dropped out, and Bob Sellars had left us to attend another school. Class officers chosen were, President, Ruby Richardson; Secretary, Egene Ruthford; Treasurer, Pauline Richardson; and Class Advisor, Miss Turner. Much was acconr plished this year which brought real honor and due credit to our class. We introduced the idea of class emblems which was quickly followed by the other classes. The championship in basket ball of the L.S.H. S. was besto’wed upon the boys of the Junior class. A number of our class were called upon to take part in the all school play. This play was pronounced as one of the best ever presented by the L.S.H.S. due to the dramatic ability of its actors. One of the most important and enjoy- able events during the year was our trip to the summit of Mt. Pilchuck. All the participants succeeded in reaching the top and in a safe return. Many other entertainments of much inter- est were held throughout the year. We faithfully fulfilled our duty of decorating for the graduation exercises of the Senior class, and much praise was given our hard efforts. At last we are Seniors and can occupy the back seats of the assembly hall. How the lower classmen do envy us.' Under the leadership of our class officers, who were President, Celia Rysted; Vice Pres., Edith Cailson; Secretary, Jim Hawkins Treasurer, Donald Lofton; Advisor, Miss Turner; we have achiev- ed great success. Two of our beloved members, Pauline Richard- son and Marie Hagell, left to attend other schools. Edith Carlson joined our class and has proved a worthy member.

We beheld Ivan displaying his latest creations before the royalty of Sweden. Among the mannikins employed in displaying these gowns re were much surprised to see Louise Lawrence who effectively displayed one of Ivan's creations. As our time was limited we took our leave and pre- pared for the next part of our journey. February 30. Having been told of the possibility of using a peculiar variety of hop vines in the manufacturing of our non-itching underwear we left for Stockholm, Sweden, near where it is found abundantly. February 23. Arrived in Stockholm but found that hops were destroyed by hordes of daddy longlegs. We went to the University of Sweden for research work on this variety of hops and we found Vera Kjort perfecting a method ifior preparing oderless Lutafish. March 1. Greeted at Rome by Mussolini who invited us to dine at his palace. In the evening we were entertained by the premier danseuse who was no other than our former classmate Elvera Matson. March 4. Stopped at Stagger Inn near Lake Geneva for supplies. Upon passing the kitchen we noticed a familiar face making hot dogs. Ae were glad to find Eugene Ruthford here. Due to his success at the former High School Carnival, he had gone into the hot dog business, making them of mountain goats. We wished him hearty success and embarked upon our further journey. April 91 Arrived in Australia. Upon further research we found that kangaroo fuzz is very soft and well adapted to such uses as non-itching underwear. At last a solution to our problem. The rest of our journey promises to be a rest from respon- sibilities. April 15. Upon reaching the Philippine Islands, my partner in ex- ploration decided to leave me so he bade farewell to the ex- pedition and joined his wife, Ruby Richardson Lofton, and family, and is now engaged in raising snakes fox their hides, which are used for snake skin shoes and stockings.
