.. 1 THE PILCHUCK, 1931 • --------------------------------------------——— —— »• Senor Class History In the year of 1927 forty-three Vikings sailed into the harbor of Lake Stevens High School. A strong and mighty band, eager to acquire further knowledge, began the voyage under the leadership of Captain Kenneth Loop, with the help of his mates, Emmett Loth, Stanley Barker, and Agnes Martinson. Some of our numbers sailed on to other harbors and others deserted our ranks. To prove that we were a sturdy c'ass, eighteen of our members reached the top of Mount Pilchuck on May 13. March 17 we gave a St. Patrick's party. Lillian and Jerry won the prizes for the funniest costumes. The next year we installed as our captain Stanley Barker, and the mates were Kenneth Loop, Ruth Loth, and Esther Marquardt. Our crew was increased by Ray Balmer, Helen Hubbard, and Eunice Kirkland Joseph Paar, Fannie and Edward Salo, Emma Neff, and Jack Payne de serted our ship to sail on to other harbors. All the Sophs enjoyed a trip to Lake Goodwin. This year we climbed higher in scholarship than in the previous year. Seven of our members kept a permanent place on the honor roll. The third year we sailed under the leadership of Albert Shipton with Mildred Wilkinson and Esther Marquardt as the first mates. This strong and mighty band sailed fast. Rea Balmer, Eunice Kirkland, Helen Hubbard, Kenneth Loop, left our midst to join another crew. We were now sailing with full speed ahead and the harbor was in view. We entertained the Seniors at Williams Park. A theater party was decided on, and afterwards all went to the Cave for a bite. Oh! how much difficulty we had in getting flowers to decorate the gym and the church for the Seniors! We are also proud to say that we gave the first Junior Prom in the history of the Lake Stevens High School, March 28, 1930. We have pulled down the sails! This year Ruth Loth, Helen Bauer, and Axel Bergwall left us; we were sorry to have them drop in their last year. Our crew now consists of 21 members. Again, we had another theater party, going to the Peter Pan after- ward. We had a Senior Sneak and enjoyed it very much. As we look back, we are proud of our success. Ah! At last, the harbor!” cries Captain Alice Johnson! Ahoy! my mates, Ahoy! Marie Coles and Esther Marquardt, hoist the anchor, for “Tonight We Launch, Where Shall We Anchor?” Esther Marquardt.

Alta: “Well, Ida Hendrickson, my old classmate, you did remember! What have you been doing all these years since you left Lake Stevens?” Ida: “Right after graduation I obtained a position with the government. I worked about a year, and then received a cablegram from His Royal Highness, King Roy Johnson of Finland, to carry some secret papers for the diplomatic service. After I arrived there, I continued to work with the King until now, when we both took a vacation to come to the reunion.
