We made great headway under the leadership of Clara Larson, Head Hiker and assistants, Michael Parr, Vivian Countryman and Selma Jacobson. Some of our members sat down to rest and wait for the next class and some dropped out of the hike altogether. At the first cabin we stopped to initiate the freshmen. We also stayed at the cabin all summer before starting the climb to the second cabin. The next vear our ranks were joined bv Francis Rooney, Muriel Iten, Viola Iten, Peggy Thompson and Lloyd Bjur. Francis Rooney, assisted by Edith Hjort, Dick McCroy and Selma Jacobson, lead the class the second year and we became much closer to the top. We took a day off for a picnic and all enjoyed the change. Other members of our class dropped out of the hike and school. The third year of our climb we had Lloyd Bjur as our most noble leader, who, helped by Dick McCroy and Merrill Davis, managed to pull the remainder of the class to the second cabin where we entertained the Seniors. We now were climbing fast and could see the top of the mountain by the end of the year. Muriel Iten left our ranks and Dick McCroy crossed around the mountain to join another class. Our last year of the climb. Now the top was in view. Bernice Finley, Otto Finley, Alice Campbell and Frank Bauer joined our class and decided to finish the climb with us. We were sorry to see Selma Jacobson leave our class in the last year. We had a Senior sneak by permission, the first that was ever allowed at our school, and when we reached the top seventeen of our members doned caps and gowns and were graduated. As we looked back down the mountainside, we became very proud of our progress. The way was rough but we made the grade and are going now to take up the climb of the mountain of life. Page Twelve

PILCHUCK 1930 CLASS WILL We, the class of 1930, of the Lake Stevens High School, in the city of Lake Stevens, State of Washington, being of sound mind and of good memory do make, publish and declare this our last will and testament. ARTICLE I. Section I. — To the teachers Our thanks and gratitude for the help and encouragement given us during our last year in High School, our studiousness and obedience and such things as they may want providing they can get them. Section II. To Miss Curtis—Our undying gratitude for the prosperous voyage through our last year in High School. To Mr. Hiassen—Many, many, thanks for our credits and diplomas. To Mr. Hulvey—All our Physics experiments and note books. Perhaps other classes may prosper by our hard work in the years to come. Also many sincere thanks for the help and encouragement he has given us during the past year. To Miss Kwapil—We leave our heated discussions on prohibition. Also the cocoa left in the cocoa can in the Civics room. We hope she will have as much enjoyment out of it as we did. To Miss Higgins—We bequeath all our quotations in “Hamlet” and all the Book Reports we so enjoyed giving. To Miss Burns—All the old type-writer ribbons and loose keys. Our Short- hand notebooks and such things as she will find use for in future years of teaching. To Mr. Pugh—All of the “Blue Slips” we have accumulated during the year along with all of our unexcused absence blanks. ARTICLE II. To the classes: To the Junior Class—All the seats in the back of the auditorium with their supply of gum stored especially for them. With some misgivings we give them our Senior Dignity and Studiousness. To the Sophomore Class—A compliment on the good work they have just finished. We know, when they become upper classmen they will keep up the good work started and some day make a very brilliant graduating class. To the Freshman Class—A word of encouragement and advice as to the hazards and obstacles that are ahead. We know they’ll make the grade and will some day be occupying the space being left by us. ARTICLE III. To the Individuals of the Lake Stevens High School: ESTHER HJORT wills her leaflet on “How to Grow Thin Over Night” to Ellen Erickson and to Howard Hisey she gives her “Nightingale Voice so that he may realize his long cherished dream of becoming an opera singer LEANDER LINDSTROM leaves his theory on “How to Grow Tall Over- night” to William Nourse and his long curly locks to Helen Larson. CECELIA ABRAHAMSON with tears in her eyes has decided to leave her “rolling black orbs” with which she has caught the heart of many an unsus- pecting male in the meshes of her heart to Zella Engstrom and to Bernice Lind- strom she sorrowfully leaves her well known taxi-driver friend with the hopes that he will be well cared for during her absence to the many countries of the world LLOYD BJUR wishes to leave his own booklet on “How to be a bachelor” to Harry Whitford. He is sorry to state that this book has failed to live up to its authors ideal but such as it is it is a very good leaflet. Also to Johnny Rysted his imported straw hat noted the whole world over. ALICE CAMPBELL wills the beauty of her golden hair to Doris Paige and to Hazel Bjur she leaves her humorous giggles and hopes that they will be put to a good use. OTTO FINLEY wills his art of telling jokes without laughing to Howard Hisey. Also his book “The Backwoodsman” to Donald McLean. (Continued on page 24) Page Thirteen
