CLASS HISTORY On the morning. of September 5, 19£9, 48 young and innocent Freshm rr entered Lake Stevens High School. If the boys had ever thplight that they were going to be dignified High School Students the first two or three weeks they were in High School, it was soon disspelled by the fact that they were paddled nearly every day by the experienced Sophomores. 3ut these paddlings were just the preliminaries. The main event was on the evening of September 19, when we were all officially initiated. After we ate what were supposed to be worms, drank bitter medicine, etc., we were considered members of the High School. Mr. Pugh as advisor, was given the task of leading and ad- vising us through our Freshmen year. Harvey Carlson was chosen our president. Our first party was held October 24 in the gym. After playing games, lunch was served. Considering that it was our first party, it turned out fairly well. The Freshmen class was honored, on November 16, by having one of our Freshmen girls, Florence Forsberg, chosen Carnival Queen. To improve on our first party a second was held on March 14. Our first year in high school was closed by a school pic- nic, at Kansas Camp Grounds, on the last day of School. The following year only 40 of our class returned. Miss Foster was our Sophomore advisor with Royden Davis as class pres- ident. On October 10, we did unto others as was done unto us , by initiating the Freshmen. Everyone enjoyed themselves but the Freshmen. Only two parties were given that year. Both turned out well. We are nearing our goal as we begin our third year in high school with 35 students. During the year Eleta Williams, of Ev- erett, joined our class. Class was organized, under the advisor- ship of mss Adatto. Adolph Becker r as elected President. The big event, in the form of the Junior Prom, was held on April 1, in the Veteran’s Hall. The class worked hard on it and v ere rewarded by having it turning out a huge success. Only one party 7 as held in our Junior year. The office had made a rule that there were to be no parties in the evening but 2 hours of school time was given. Everyone had a good time.

.Ve began our Senior year with 37 members. Marjorie Matz- enauer. Lillian and Leonard Blaine, Lillian Ekrem and Bob Pitch- ford were welcomed into the class as new students. We were sorry to have two of our classmates, Walden Byers and Ruth Haverfield drop out during the year. Bill Whitford very ably led the class through the year, as President with Marjorie Matzenauer and Clifford Sayers assisting as Vice-President and Secretary. After many class meetings and much arguing, it was decided not to have class rings and pins. Miss Adatto selected our Senior play, ”0h Professor!” a comedy. After many try-outs the cast was selected. Mason Ste- vens was given the leading role of Michael Pemberton. Florence Forsberg ployed opposite him as Patricia Patterson. Eleta Williams gave much of the comedy to the play as Fifi, a vivacious French girl. Two weeks before the play was given Mason was taken to the hospital with appendicitus. Adolph Becker took his place with two weeks to learn his part. On April 7, the play was pre- sented to a packed house, both afternoon and evening. We were so busy having class meetings and arguments thatno parties or activities were held until our Senior Sneak on May 12. Everyone sneaked off at 6:30 in the morning and went to Maloney’s Grove. We all stopped on the way up to see Sncqualmie Falls, and then went on to the Grove. The boys went exploring while the girls got breakfast. Everything was tried at least once. We played tennis, golf, horseshoes, baseball, checker and everything else that was possible to do. Mrs. Hunt entertained the Senior girls and their mothers with a tea on May 18. The girls spent the afternoon at her home talking over the past, present, and future. The Juniors entertained the Seniors with a weiner roast at the Purple Pennant, May 28, after school. Before the weiner roast several went rowing on the lake and the more daring, went in swimming. After the weiner roast the evening was spent in dancing.
