And yet there is joy in the prospect Of the world with its challenge to meet To conquer, subdue it, and force it At last to kneel down at our feet. We have flung down the iron gage of combat And now we are girt for the strife; 7e are ready and willing to struggle In this glorious battle called life. For some will the victory be easy; For others, the strife hard and long; But for all there's the glory of striving. Of meeting the world with a song. For the world will admire your courage, Though you be of the rank and file. If you have a fair word for your comrades And are facing the world with a smile. So bid us fare-well, oh, our school-mates And wish us God-speed e're we go; For our goal shan't be won in an hour. That, only too well do we know. Helen Hirst Senior Cla.ss History Wo thought we were big I We were something great, the day we left that eighth grade building, to be eighth graders no more— really in high school 1 We were Frosh � Boldly we took our seats in the front of the study hall and pre- pared for what might come. After a day or so in our new position, we began to lose some of our pride. With longing eyes we look- ed up to the SENIORS, who proudly held their post in the rear of the study hall. How smart they must be, we imagined and sighed as we thought how long it would be before we would be as great as they. But the four years are passed, and now we fill those rear seats and bear the title SENIORS . There were Juniors who called us greenies , al- though we didn't quite see where they got it. As for the Sophs, we knew what was coming from them. Of course we were initiated and all seemed to live through the ordeal, and there gleamed in our minds the though of hovr we'd treat the next Frosh 7 hcn they came along. T7e had an able corps of officers our first year. Grace Foucale was president; Bob Ryrden, vice-president; John Webber, secretary-treasure and Miss Asp, our class advisor. Hazel Byers came into our class at the end of the first semester and prov- ed to be a loyal and active member. We presented a play at the Carnival which showed our extraordinary (?) ability in dramatics. Linda Johnson, Gathel Bassler, Laurence Hall and Axel Forsberg were the mem- bers of the cast. At last we became Sophomores. Some of our mem- bers had withdrawn from school including Grace Foucale Bob Ryrden, John Webber and Laurence Hall. The de- light of our lives had finally arrived. We did not intend to put any poor Frosh in misery but only wish- ed to do unto others as others had done unto us. Our class officers for this year were: Joe Robbins, Pres- ident; Anna Kallerson, vice-president; Gweneth Roberts reporter. Our advisor was Mr. A. F. Mahaffey. During our Sophomore year we were well represented in the all school play, And Home Came Ted. Those in our class taking part were: Joe Robbins, Gwin Easter- ly, V irgil Crabb, Gathel Bassler, Agnes Johnson, Hazel Byers, and Avis Bergerson. Two of our members. Hazel Byers and Gwin Easterly, also took part in the Carnival play. We were duely represented in athlet- ics although we did not win any special honors. When our Junior year arrived, we were mounting toward the top of the ladder. Two members, Violet Howard and Helen Hirst, joined our class and we were glad to v elcome them. Our new officers v ere: Hazel Byers, president; Robert Bassler, vice president; Anna Kallerson, secretary-treasurer; Gathel Bassler, reporter, with Miss Bishop as our class advisor. In the all school play of '27, HURRY} HURRY! HURRY! Robert Bassler, Hazel Byers, Gwin Easterly, Violet Howard, Lilly Swanson and Joe Reidt, revealed their dramatic ability. The play was a great success. Sev- eral Junior girls helped to make it so by assisting in the glee club which performed between acts. Hazel Byers and Avis Bergerson were the Juniors who took part in the Carnival play. Others of our class help- ed in the carnival in various ways. We were greatly honored by having one of our class, Helen Hirst, rep- resented in the County Declamatory contest. At the Sports Day held at the University of Washington, Hazel Byers won a posture prize. At the Basket ball sports day at Edmonds, several girls from our class took part. Hazel Byers receiving honorable mention. There was also a Volley ball sports day at Stanwood, in which several Juniors took part. Interclass games were held in boys' basket ball. The Juniors won sec- ond place. We entertained the Seniors with a picnic at Mission Beach near Tulalup, and also held a picnic at Mulkateo, and a masquerade party at the home of Anna Kallerson, in honor of the football boys. We decorated the hall and church for Senior graduation wondering how it would seem to file down the aisle to receive our diplomas. At last the rear seats of the study hall are oc- cupied by the class of '28. No longer Frosh, no longer Sophs or Juniors but SENIORS. How do we feel? Not so big but we are enjoying all the activities and are working hard to graduate. Despite all the good times and amid the hurry and scurry there comes a pang into each Seniors’ heart—the thought that he must leave all his school mates and friends to find his place in the world. We have enjoyed our four years here and we hate to say goodbye. One of our members, Violet Howard, has left our class to attend school in Everett. Dorothy Pittman came into our class from the Sophomore class. Virgil Crabb was elected Senior president; Avis Bergerson, vice president; Clifton Tisdale, secretary-treasurer; Dorothy Pittman, class reporter; Helen Hirst, sargent at arms and Miss Yeo is our class advisor. The Sen- iors enjoyed a banquet on Halloween night at the high school with the teachers as guests. Several of our own girls served a delicious meal. In athletics this year the Senior boys won the first place in the bas- ket ball interclass games. A number of boys turned our for football and track. The girls attended sev- eral sports days, one of which was held in our new gymnasium. The Seniors were honored by having Avis Bergerson choaen for the star team. Two exciting e- vents of the year were our Senior Party held at Avis Bergerson’s and our trip up Mt. Pilchuck. At the present time we are putting forth every effort to make the Senior play OH ’. KAY I” a great success. Graduation at last 1 That day, which for four long years has seemed so far away, has at last arriv- ed. Twenty-five Seniors are aware of this fact as they see the time swiftly passing by, bringing them nearer and nearer to that eventful day. Our hearts throb with excitement as we anticipate the joy of grad- uation and yet we dread the final separation from our friends who have so kindly helped us on our way. CLASS H L L WE, the class of 1928 of the Lake Stevens High School, in the city of Lake Stevens, county of Sno- homish, and State of Washington, do hereby publish this as our last will and testament, to the follow- ing who are the participants of an equal race, as the sum total of our private gains during our twelve years administration. Article I. Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Section 4 Section 5 Section 6 . To MR. TISDALE, we leave a hearty thanks in appreciation of our di- plomas, and the much needed assist- ance given us in our climb up the Thorny Path. . To MISS YEO, our advisor, we leave all the old disabled typewriters so that she may use them in her voca- tion of teaching typing to the in- mates of the coming generation of Lake Stevens. To MR. SEBRING, we leave our deepest thoughts and sincere appreciation for the most needed help and the as- sistance he has too generously given us as Debate Coach and FATHER of L. D. S. We are hoping for his speedy recovery.

We also hope to see some of her cooks working in the White House. To MR. HULVEY, we leave the writings and pictures on the one-armed chairs in the Science Room, to be placed in the Antique Shop, specially built for this purpose in the lobby of our New High, also, a world of Thanks for the splendid coaching he has con- tributed to the success of the boys during the last year.

We also wish to thank her for the splendid coach- ing of our Senior Play. It was OH I KAY 1 Section 7 Section 8 Article II. Section 1. Section 2. Section 3. To MR. CONSTANTINE, we leave the pri- vilege of using the round square, now in possession of the Senior Class, for aid in the destruction (construc- tion) of a few more houses that Jack Built. To MISS KWAFIL, we dedicate the Art Gallery, left here by Miss Brown, so that she may spend her moments of lei- sure among the beautiful oil paintings and masterpieces drawn by the indi- viduals of the M M History Class. We also wish to thank her for her kind patience and help during our struggle in Civics, in return for which we leave her the remains of Caesar and his Gallic Wars. To THE JUNIORS, we bequeath the Su- preme Power and Solemn dignity which we expect them to uphold in their coming year as Seniors. To THE SOPHS, we leave the Pep of the Senior Class, in the care of their advisor that they may use as they see fit to add to the betterment of their lives in years to come. We also hope that they learn to know Emerson bet- ter than we did, so they may skip over his essays in English IV. In case of this misfortune we leave a whole book of American Authors so as not to disappoint them. To THE FRESHMAN, we most kindly do- nate the use of the Webster Diction- ary, by Noah Webster, and Nelson’s Encyclopedia, by Thomas Nelson. These are not to be used roughly and to prevent their misuse we leave them on a high shelf, out of their reach. Also, as a word of encourag- ment, we wish them to keep up the good work with which they have began. Article 111. To the INDIVIDUALS OF L. S. H.

C_L A S S PROPHECY TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Today is May 22, 1950, and I feel that I cannot let another day pass, lest something unforseen should happen to me before I explain my most unusual experi- ence of last night. I have been pipe organist at the New York Metro- politan Theater for fifteen years, happy and busy, and pardon my seeming boast—but also reputed successful. I must admit that all day yesterday, I had a strange feeling that something was about to happen—I can t ex- plain it. Yet, last night when I sat down at my instrument, my friends say I appeared perfectly cool and collected in spite of all the excitement throbbing in my veins. My thoughts kept turning to Anna Kallerson, whose won- derful voice had again held me spell bound that after- noon at the opera. Anna has made such a success of her life, I thought, combining a happy home with an operatic career. Years ago we were close friends in Lake Stevens High School. Our Senior year at high school—what fun I With the enthusiasm that these fond memories inspired in me, 1 brought my music to the end and looked up, amid the deafening applause, to gain my first glimpse of the celebrated Dr. I. M. A. Faiker, the only living exponent of the Right Reverend Conan A. Doyle. As the curtain went up, the great man appeared with his head bowed and a circle of Hindu attendants about him. Concentrate he said, solemnly Concentrate . Were my ears failing me? Where had I heard that voice? My thoughts dashed back over years in leaps and bounds, and as the man looked out over the audience I reognized my old school mate, Gwin Easterly—in the role, to my great delight] Hadn’t Noah Wampler always maintained that Gwin would be some sort of hot air art- ist, I reflected. If only Noah could see him now. But what was Noah doing? Now Dr. Faiker was mumbling something about flood —flood. Concentrate, he said, again— Concentrate! Old stuff, I muttered Noah would get a rise out of this and my thoughts were so intent upon Noah I didn't hear what Gwin, alias the Doctor, was saying un- til he said I see, now! It is all clear—the flood— the ark—Noah! In the same moment his eyes sought mine, and by the merry twinkle—combined with his su- per-intelligence, I could see that he recognized me. Ah, he said, thinking intently, Noah Wampler appears before me. He is in uniform. Policeman? No! Soldier? No! I have it. He is a locomotive engineer, driving the Walsh Special guaranteed to xun without gasoline. His son Johnny is his assistant. In viewing his past life, I see that he married Gweneth Roberts and they are very prosperous. With this amazing statement he abruptly changed his expression and passed his hands before his eyes. I see something crawling—crawling! he mumbled to himself. Then he flung out his hands in my direction. A crab? No, it is not crawling—it is tight rope walk- ing—Ah, I have it, the same Crabb. Virgil Crabb now appears before me doing the Varsity Drag on a rope across Niagra Falls. I see many people throwing money in his direction. He is catching it while making his perilous crossing. Gwin seemed to forget the rest of his audience and took special pains to answer all the questions which popped into my mind. We were both intensely in- terested in the present status of the members of that famous Senior Class of 1928 of Lake Stevens High School and this is what I learned. Linda Johnson is a famous aviatrix. In fact, she has been unequaled and holds the to rid record for being up in the air the longest upside down. Gathel Bassler has solved the curse of Chemistry. She has spent all her years thus far in solving the problem. As a final conclusion she states that all the air enclosed in the mountains gets restless and bursts through. If it weren't for these volcanoes there would be no air around here, and consqquently no life. Scien- tists are commencing to take Gathel's statements as cor- rect, and she has ample proof for everything, having purchased all mountains available. Her famous brother, Robert, alias Bob Bassler, has discovered 'i7hy the moon is made of green cheese. This theory is correct, states Mr. Bassler. One should go back to his childhood days when the idea first oc- curred to him. Should we not accept a child's idea? Certainly I This fact has been proven. The light of themoon comes from phosporous, only on one side though, as it is flat. Bob also has found Vitamin Z. he says that this is the coloring matter in the food. He just refused $10,000 for this discovery, stating that he did it for the good of the people. We are glad he turned out to be so useful as for awhile his case looked hope- less . Joe Reidt, I was informed, is none other than the Honorable Judge Reidt. (This, however was no news to me as I had met him before. He recently gave me sixty days and $500 fine for driving on the right side of the road—simply for revenge, but it didn't hurt my feelings as I am husky and can stand to live on bread and water.) Clifton Tisdale has followed his father's foot- steps after a period of wavering in the field of avi- ation and is now busily engaged in instructing the students at the University of Illinois. Avis Bergerson has the record of being the first woman Mayor of Chicago. I was extremely proud to hear that my old friend had cleaned up the city so that it was safe to open one's upstairs windows up to nine o'clock at night. Lillie Swanson won great fame by swimming the At- lantic Ocean, and racing with Lindbergh. Lillie won the race. She owes all her talent to practicing be- tween Drew's and Bassler's. Carl Bergstrom, a visiting professor from Sweden, is making a tour of the United States lecturing to High School students on the ever vital topic How to Throw Erasers without Being Caught. The minds of the younger generation are much impressed with his elo- quence. Helen Salkovics has made great use of her talent from working so diligently on the Flashlight. She is now editor of the Seattle Times. Axel Forsberg and the rest of the passengers were shipwrecked near the Bahama Islands. He and his com- panion being swimmers managed to reach the mainland. He refused later to go back to the states as the mod- ern mode of living and the wild jazz age proved too much for A'xel. He prefers isolation, other than liv- ing with the rest of the world. He has adopted the crude means of Robinson Crusoe. Roy Lundberg consent- ed to be his man Friday. They hope to attain fame by constructing a log in the near future and drifting to Paris in it. (I'm sure I hope he will be successful.) Dorothy Pittman, a well known poet, has tired of so much fame and has now decided to settle down to private life. Helen Hirst is a famous athletic teacher who has made a great fortune for herself. She was the one who showed'Gertude Ederle the art of swimming and she has also done some daring stunts in the water herself. She dived from the Woolworth Building into a tub of water. Any child can do this says Helen, by using ladders to begin with, then the house and later the radio poles. Bill Walsh tells bedtime stories over K. 0. M. 0. Elsie Lowman is now famous as a nurse in San Francisco. Due to her excellent nccrsi� ng, the death rate of that city has decreased 500$ since 1935. The drug store and prescription agencies have been doing a rushing business all along the Pacific Coast since Elsie's cause bagan. Hazel Byers has made great use of her ability as a cook. She is now first cook in the White House. Mrs. Coolidge is..very well pleased with her and has de- cided to keep her for all time. Agnes Johnson has taken the place of Anna Pavalo- wa, the famous ballet dancer. She is very nimble on her feet and introduces all the new steps for the dan- ce halls. George Riddell, alone, is responsible for the clean streets of Portland, a city, which is gaining rapid renown for its splendid upkeep and attractive- ness. Last but not least, yet saddest of all, Clifford Sholberg is the dog-catcher in our local community. He refused to be famous, but nevertheless has become the favorite of the small boys because for a small fee he lets them attend the shooting of all stray dogs. My friends and you whom this may concern, bear wit- ness to the fact that I have now unburdened my mind. Do not let the matter rest too heavily on your heads. With all due respect, — DOROTHY CARLSON. athletics The class of '28 has taken an important part in high school o.thletics. During our Freshmen year we had two members on the football team, Joe Robbins and Joe Reidt, who both played guard. Joe Robbins also represented our class on the basketball team.
