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

?rt PILCHUCK 1930 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Bv Harold Carlson, Edith Hjort, Lloyd Bjur Leander—“Mr. Davis to see you.” Harold—“Bring him in.” Pete—“Well, well, just to think you a president in 1950. I’m on my vacation and I thought I’d like to try and locate a few of our class members.” Harold—“Gee, I’d like to find some of them myself. Have you ever heard from Lloyd Bjur?” Pete—“Yes, I have a letter from him here with me, that I received a few days ago. He says he is teaching music to the women of the Dooble Hinkus Tribe in Little America and is making much progress. Who would have thought that Lloyd would take such a liking for women.” Harold—“Edith Hjort was here, last week, asking me to finance a trip to Mars for her. She says she has much confidence in Buck Rogers and hopes he will welcome her there when she arrives. Say, have you heard anything Francis Rooney?” Peter—“Yes, Francis is on an expedition to the North Pole where he has made a fortune selling panama hats and refrigerators. All this he accomplished by placing a searchlight on top of a pole, this gives a bright light and makes the Eskimo think it’s sunshine.” Harold—“You know Pete, Cecelia Abrahamson has been giving me quite a lot of trouble. That girl has been married and divorced six times. She is now living in India with her last husband, Maragah Namgay Doola. Your remember Frank Bauer, that fellow who could type so fast? He’s a water peddler in the Sahara Desert. He is making a fortune peddling water to the needy in a little green Ford with a large tank.” Peter—“Viola Iten has married the Prince of Wales. He gave her a choice of a place to spend their honeymoon. She chose to go on a hunting trip through the African Jungles. Esther Hjort, after graduating from high school took a tour through foreign countries. Upon arriving in Sweden the Prince became captivated by her actions and mannerisms and now she is the beloved Queen of Sweden.” Harold—“You don’t say, it seems like they are all making a success. Even Viv- ian Countryman, has succeeded in starring in that famous screen success, “Sun- nyside Down”. Otto Finley, you remember, on account of his funny remarks and actions is Jester in Queen Esther’s Court of Sweden. Whatever became of Tena?” Peter—“Tena Plaatsman? Oh she’s in Paris. She has come to fame by her magnificent creations of the latest styles for men and women. Her old school chum, Virginia Noren, has accompanied Tena to Paris, where she is studying art. She has now become interested in another Art.” Harold—“Now listen to this. Bernice Finley has become a famous Veterinary Doctor in China, she has horses as a specialty.” Peter—“That is funny, but then Clara Larson is teaching the Hawaiians to dance the “Hoola Hoola”. She has just sent in a petition asking for longer skirts for her dancers.” Harold—“Did you recognize my secretary?” Pete—“He looked familiar, but I can’t recall him.” Harold—“That’s Leander Lindstrom. He’s been my secretary ever since I took office. He still insists on Alice as the Last Lady of the Land. Alice has been successful in launching Harry Whitford and they are living happily ever after as the story goes.” Peter—“Miss Curtis, our faithful advisor has just returned from her honeymoon and is searching for the senior class in a land-areo-water boat.” Harold—“But say Pete, you said you were on your vacation, but you never told me what you were doing. Let’s hear it.” Peter—“Well, to make a long story short, after much study I have finally suc- ceeded in becoming the head cook for the King of England.” Harold—“Lucille Pashall has searched ever since she left school for a husband who would scold her, and she has finally found one. Now she is hoping that ‘Little Lucy’ will grow up to be as popular as herself.” Page Fifteen
