I O SENIOR HISTORY On the bright morning of September 5,il955, Mer- idian High School was blessed with the arrival of fifty-four timid, green,l and bashfui Freshmen, This particular Freshman class very soon displayed signs of being great athletes. The main recreatlonat noon, between classes, and in the study hall was the throw- ing of chalk and erasers, and playing leap-frog, The Sophomores honored us with ga picnicat Birch Bay. This class fiihally acquired enough knowledge to assume the responsibility of becoming Sophomorest During that year we put on a short class play, ULeave lt to Annie Lou.H 'Some membersof the class took part also in the operetta, NAsk the Professor,W which was a huge success. Our Junior yedrwas even more excitlngu We helps ed to make R success of the carnival and homeucoming affair. We presented the Junior Play, NAaron Slick from PumpkinPCrlck, which drew a large crowizl, rms! sent everyone home feeling they had gotten their mr, ey's worth. Fromthe proceeds of the play we gave the Senior class a banquet and a danceo ' Before we realized it we were Seniors, with the task of setting a good exampie for the Freshman, We were awardeda,halffday off for selling the most stone ent body tickq'3sQ5.i,. We helped to make asuccess of second carnival land? horde'-coming affair. We-sponsor-rd various theater and skating darties, and furnished good material for football,- basketball, and basexl l teamsu We also feel that we have aeaomplished sonee thing noteworthy in being the first class in eleven years with initiative enough to put out an annual, for which we thank the faculty members and classmates who assisted us. We presented the Senior class play UThe Absent Minded Prwfessornn i As a class we have lrg 6 iQ build a foundation for our futurep we must attriatne whatever success this future may hold for us, -in part to our training and associations at Meridian High Schoolo 3 ro' I OUR SCHOOL In i907 Laurel and Anolity, a district west of Laurel, consolidated and formed the first Laurel dis- trict, The first high school, a simple, two-room structure, was built the same year on the present lo- cation. The following year these students enrolled to form its first freshman class. The faculty consisted of one teacher, 'ln l9l2 this first class, now grown in size to eight, was graduated from the Laurel con4 solidated High School. -ln time Wiser Lake, Victor, Ten Mile, Elbonita, North Bellingham entered the consolidation. All but North Bellingham remain a part of the district. Twice in its history the school has burned. The first time-it-had-to be rebuilt by the donated -labor and materials of the district patrons. The new build- ing was destroyed by the second fire only a few months after its completion. The gymnasium and stage were added through the efforts of the women's clubs of the district, which by means of an auction side of donated goods, a lunch and a carnival, raised for this purpose severalhundred dollars, 'ln i955 and 36 the school was enlarged and re- modeled to twice its former size, the gymnasium being moved and lengthened, a new stage constructed, and the north wing, containing four new classrooms, added. lt was a hard year for the students and teachers: northeast wind penetrated the dismantled walls, the and the sounds of carpentry filled the over-crowed Pbuild- ing. So the modern pride is the product building in which we take such of many years of slow growth, in which great hopes, careful planning, hard work, self- sacrifice, and sometimes cruel reverses have all play- ed a part. May the women who built this servation and growth roomg 'and help make spirit of the far-seeing men and school and contributed to its pre yet linger in its halls and class us worthy successors to the pi- oneers of education at Meridian. - 4:iO JUNIOR CLASS Roe 1: Dorla Melera,iLlIllan,Janaea, Margaret Glass, Constance Fjellman, Allce Morgentheler, Lola Blle, Shirley lurrey, Ellnor Wleklund, Roe 2: Lola Ellls, Geraldine Tenaglle, Ellnor Long, Agnes Klnzle, Vlrglnla Veatoyar, secretary-traaauler, Gladys Constant, Marguerite Beard, Roe 3: Leon Seaeell, George Gooding, Edeln Davenport, President, Delbert Edqulat, Gordon White, Howard Snowdon, Gladys Neggemn Roe we lreln Anderson, class repreaentatlve, Gerald Nelson, Royal Llttle, reporter, Fred Ackerman, Gene Wight, Cllfford Glass, Mr. Reed, Row 5: Duane Loop, Jack Hlgmen, Le Verne Robson.

Edwin Davenport as a sleepy business man was rudely handled by his friend Jimmy Falk, in the person of Clifford Glass. Others in the cast were Shirley Murray, a private -secretary, Virginia Westover, a -stenographer, Gladys -Constant, the girls next door, Marguerite Beard, as Edwinls mother, Gordon White, George Gooding, Duane Loop, and Kenneth Neevel, all business associates. in March an alleschool cast put on HThe Haunted Chairn, a mystery farce in three acts. Nellie Kennedy a private detective, ably portrayed by Alice Fjellman, created many laughs at the expense of inspector Gilhooly who was Kenneth Neevel. Marion Hanley and Jack Estes added dash and color to the play as Liza and Lazy, the negro servants. Slamming doors, crash- ing glassware, blinking lights, a darkened -stage, shots in the dark, windowshades moving as if by magic, the disappearance of a dead man from the stage and his equally mystifying reappearance all contribute to make this one of the most puzzling and thrilling mys- teries ever presented on our 'stage, Besides the persons mentioned, members of the cast were Dorothy Prendergast, Marvin Pratt, ,Vaughn Russell, Lillian Ailbough, Howard Snowden, Vera Bellinger, Dorothy Urbeck, and Lee Harvey. Late in the Spring the Seniors presented, HThe Absent-Minded Professorn. In this short and amusing play Bob Kunzman played the professore, Excellent work was done also by Wilden Johnston, his sister-in-law, and Betty Hanley, NFour times a Widown, as comic char- acters, Others taking part were Alma Snowden, Georgia Meiers, Gladys Oiness, Floyd Glass, Bill White, Willard Johnston and June Miller.

After playing off a tie the Seniors claimed the championship. The members of this team were Earl Matheson, Floyd Glass, Willard Johnston, Emil Cavelero, and Bill White. ln the spring the boys organized class softball teams. The captains of these teams were Willard Johnston, senior, Fred Ackerman, Junior, Donald Constant and Wendell Ballard, sophomore, Paul Gregory and Bob Hickey, freshman. Each year M. H. S. honors two boys by inscribing their names on figure trophies. These awards are presented this year by Mr. Hanbloom at the Athletic Banquet. The football team chose well in voting to Leon Seawell the trophy for having been the greatest inspiration to the members of that team. The basket- ball trophy was awarded to Earl Matheson, who had showed great skill on the basketball floor and un- doubtedly deserved this honor. These trophies belong to the school and will be placed in the trophy case to await next yearls choices. On March l5th, the Athletic boys were honored at an all-star banquet given by the Girls' Club directed by Miss Davis. On that night the boys enjoyed a tasty dinner and were entertained by notable speakers. Mr. Carter, the toast master, introduced as the principle speaker Mr. Lappenbush, Coach at the West- ern Washington College of Education. Coach tappenbush talked on the training and character building of a team. Other speakers were Coach Bryan Lewis of Bell- ingham, and Mr. Hanbloom who presented the inspira- tional awards and gave a short talk on -Fthe signifi- cance of these awards. Also present with the boys were the school directors. The boys thoroughly en- joyed the banquet and extend their thanks to the Girls' Club and Miss Davis. V 40 '41 1 FOOTBALL The high point of the footbail season was our defeat of Custer in a night game at Battersby Field in Bellingham, Mr, Carter shaped a team that showed ima proved technique over that of last year, and which played close games with most of its opponents, The turnout this spring indicated successtul season next year, Row 1: victor Westover, Mowerd Snonden, Wendell Ballard, lrwln Anderson, Bill White, Alff0d Anderson, Gene Wight, Leon Seavell, Archie Anderson.

BASKETBALL Although it did not make a remarkable scoring ree cord, Meridianls team was a good one, which with the reserves displayed lpromising material for the future, The boys showed a lot of fight and team-work, even though they were unable to find the right combinations for winning all their games, Despite our reverses we had a lot of fun, and if we didnlt always wln, it wasnlt because we didnlt support the boys with noise, numbers and music.

The girls seemed to enjoy this, for it enabied them to meet more giris from other schoois, The schoois that attended were: SumasuNook- sack, Ferndaie, Lynden, Blaine, Custer, -Mount Bakerv The prize to each girl on the winning team was a wooden horse which carried out the HTrojanN themeQ o' GIRLS' ATHLETUCS Cont.
