Sohnlic Published By The Class of 1922 Monroe Union High School PRINCIPAL J H. HALLOCK Dedication We. the Senior Class of 22. dedicate this annual to Principal J. H. Hallock to show our appreciation of his effort in our behalf. EDITORIAL t I F you have bought a copy of the Sahalie to find fault with it. we are sorry to say you will not be disap- pointed, because, although we have done our best to make it faultless, we could not, of course, make it perfect. But if on the other hand you bought a copy because you were interested in your High School (as you should be) and wanted to find out what a great High School you have in your city, and to see what the High School pupils have accomplished, both in academic and scholastic activities, we are glad to say that you will not be disappointed, inasmuch as we have all the records of athletic teams, social activities of the year, names of the alumni, wearers of the “M,” and many other things which you, as a good booster and friend of the High School, will enjoy to read. This is the third edition of the Sahalie published by the Senior Class of Monroe High School—the last one was put out by the Senior Class of ’15. The Seniors of the fol- lowing years published class annuals which were given to the members of the Senior Class and Faculty only. This, of course, sort of kept the public in ignorance of the school records and activities. In order to remedy this we, the Senior Class of ’22, are publishing this Sahalie and are giving you (the public) a chance to know your High school better. We also wish to thank the business men of Monroe for their loyal support to us and, when in future years we carry on business of our own, we will remember them. They have a warm place in our hearts.

This was the class of 1922, and at the time of entry, strange to relate, was composed of twenty-two members. This class has successfully edited “The Bugle,” a paper published monthly by the class, for three consecu- tive years. It also presented, with artistic and financial success, three plays: “Safety First,” “Turning the Trick,” and “Her Gloves.” The first two were ably directed by Miss Sherrill and the latter by Mr. Hallock. Among other achievements the class has never failed to have one or more representatives on every football, basketball and track teams since its Freshman year. It has also successfully managed and financed this the third issue of the Sahalie. Of the twenty-two entering as Freshmen, only ten of the original members remained long enough to become dignified Seniors. Five left before they had become Soph- omores; two moved away during their Sophomore year, while two others dropped out. In our Junior year Ruth Anderson left to be married, and Henry Hooper and Gladys Halverson finished the year but failed to come back for their Senior year. With twelve dropped and but four entering to re- place them, the class of ’22, with but fourteen members, is one of the smallest to graduate from this school in recent years. The Class of 1922 has members born in Washington. Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and New Brunswick, Canada. Mary Gauthier was born in Little Falls, Minn., Feb. 21, 1905.

CLASS PROPHECY THE day was hot and sultry. The little streets of Paris gleamed white hot in the sun, and as 1 wandered list- lessly up and down the streets, being jostled here and theie by the hurrying crowd, I found my thoughts turning suddenly back to a little brick building, a stage decorated with pink roses, girls in white skirts and blouses and boys in their best suns. Then as in a dream I found myself repeating, “The Class of Twenty-two! Where are they now? Six years had passed since then, and here was I, way out in nowhere; and the rest—how could I find out where they were? Then directly in front of me, staring me in the face, I saw the sign, “Madame Latour, Crystal Gazer. Let me tell your friends and your future.” No sooner had I read the sign than I found myself in the room. In the very center of the room, almost three feet high and one and a half feet in diameter, stood a large crystal ball. Sparks of fire seemed to issue from it, filling the room with red, yellow, blue and green lights which dazzled the eye. I stood as one paralyzed, gazing directly at the ball, when a figure began to rise out of the light and came slowly toward me. She was dressed from head to foot in a soft clinging material, the color of silver, which shone and glistened in the dancing light. She wore a head- band of rubies, emeralds and sapphires, and as I gazed upon her I thought she was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. She came within three feet of me, then turning, beck- oned me to follow and wen slowly back to the crystal. Then passing her hand lightly over my forehead she bade me look. I gazed into the crystal. For a minute my eyes wrere filled with a dancing light and a dull shooting pain. Then my vision cleared and I sawr a hospital room, with twenty-nine white cots neatly arranged in a row'. They were occupied by soldiers. Some wore bandages on their heads, some on their arms and some across their chests. As I gazed upon this piteous scene I heard a faint hurrah and looking to the other end of the room I saw the door open and a nurse, clad all in white, carrying an armful of pink roses, entered. Ah! Thought I; pink roses! Quietly she went from bed to bed, smoothing the feverish brow or holding some poor fellowr’s hand, and as she moved I sawr their faces light up and heard a murmur, “Nurse Catherine,” go around the room. I raised questioning eyes to Madame Latour. “Yes,” she said, “that is Genevieve McGinn. They call her Nurse Catherine because it reminds them of their native land.” For you must have guessed that they were soldiers of the Irish Free State. I turned again to the crystal, but lo! the vision had vanished and in its place I saw a small shop cluttered with all kinds of machinery, and in one corner of the room, sleeves rolled high, hatless and coatless, I saw a familiar figure bending over some object on the table. Then I be- came aware of a great commotion outside and gazing out of the window I saw an immense crowd clamoring at the window and shouting at the tops of their voices. The fig- ure, however, never raised its head, but swiftly went to work fitting a screw here and there in the object before him. Again I turned to Madam Latour, and again she smiled and replied: “That is Fred Peck. He has just in- vented a cap which will, when worn, enable the densest person to understand and remember anything he has read. The crowd is already gathering to purchase his invention.” While meditating on this I was aroused by a cry, “Look! The scene changes.” 1 turned and beheld a large gym, covering an acre. Hundreds of girls in uniform were lined up along the wall, while marching defiantly up and down the middle of the floor, and swinging her dumbells, was none other than Katherine Mitchell. Dear Kate, I thought, you always did want to teach gymnastics, and I am so glad. rl hen I was brought back to the scene again by the command, “Forward, March!” The column of girls moved slowly forward, step by step, arm swinging by arm. Then they formed in twos and threes, still in the same uniform motion. “The Grand March!” How beautiful, thought I. The picture slowly faded and the air was filled with the most beautiful music I ever heard. First one loud blast from the clarinet, followed by the sweeter notes of the saxaphone, and ending with the throbbing wail of the violin. Then into sight came a uniformed band, headed by a figure which seemed familiar to me. Could it be? I looked again. Yes, it was. I raised my questioning eyes to Madame Latour. “That,” said she, “is William R. Faulds and his orchestra. He plays tonight at the Grand Orpheum. I heard he gets six hundred seventy-five for the job.” “Hurrah!” said I. This time as I turned to the crystal I was rewarded by a strange sight. First to my excited gaze came a lit- tle white schoolhouse completely surrounded by palm trees, and as I exclaimed aloud over the beauty of the sight the scene shifted and I gazed upon the interior of the building. It was nothing but one large room and a lot of little picaninnies were seated cross-legged on the floor chanting aloud their lessons. A little way apart, on a slightly elevated floor, sat the teacher. I started as I thought i recognized her. then quickly turned and looked at Madame Latour. “Yes,” she said, “you guessed right— that is Minerva Healy, sent here to San Quan, Porto Rico, by the government of the United States to teach these little fellows the American language.” Poor Minerva! thought I, but you always did like children. When 1 again looked into the crystal, the scene had shifted back to Annapolis. The Navy and West Point were at their annual game of Rugby. The game waxed exciting and I was astonished to see that it was always the same young lieutenant who made the goal for West Point. Upon inquiring, I found it was Webster Augustine, unexcelled as a football player and that his name ranked among the highest in the field of athletics. The scene quickly changed and I found myself looking into a ballroom, with highly polished floor and large ferns in all the corners. Then I saw before me a beautiful young girl, blue-eyed, rosy cheeked and ruby lipped, clad in a wonderful gown of clinging, goldish colored material. As I looked about the room I found that other eyes besides mine were fastened upon her and in a moment she was completely surrounded by laughing, admiring young cham- pions. I raised my eyes to Madame Latour. “She,” said Madame, “is Mary C. Gauthier, society belle of New York City.” When I again gazed into the crystal the scene had changed and I found myself watching a figure on a plat- form as he addressed an assembly of people. He was hand- somely dressed, while his words carried such power that the people were changed from blood-thirsty demons to a peace-loving people, and again to a riotous crowd crying for revenge, all in a single moment just as he wished. Again 1 looked up at Madame Latour and she, sensing my question, replied, “That is Ernest A. Cowell, President of the United States, giving his inauguration speech.” This time when I turned again to the crystal I saw the smooth floor of a dance hall. Both sides of the hall were lined with pupils waiting for their turn while in the center, gorgeously dressed, was an old familiar figure care- fully showing a pupil the latest steps. “One, two, three, hop — One, two, three, hop,” etc. I turned to Madame Latour. “That,” said she, “is Elva Adams, the greatest dancing teacher in the United States. If you want to learn the latest step just go to her.” When I turned again another picture had already started. It showed a long winding stair and a figure that looked strangely familiar hurrying up them as fast as he could. Upon reaching the top he thrust open a door and, not waiting to close it, seated himself at his type- writer and began to write with a speed that seemed impos- sible. His fingers fairly flew and I held my breath, know- ing right well if he made a mistake—well the miracle of it is that he didn’t. This time Madame Latour did not wait for my ques- tion. “That is Clarence Gering, private secretary to President Cowell, and the greatest speed demon in the world.” This time 1 gazed into the crystal I saw a long, low room completely filled with engines and other machinery. There were men working on them but I could not make out one that looked familiar. “What can this symbolize?” thought I. Then from another room came the hurrying figure of an engineeer. He held a notebook in his hand and would stop at each man in turn telling him just what to do and how’ the engine should be put together and run. “That” said Madame Latour, “is Phillip P. Stucky, a multi-millionaire who knows more about electricity than any other man In the United States.” The picture slowly faded and I was confronted by a beautiful girl, standing on a stage while she was laughing and bowing to an immense crowd of people. Then the music started up and the girl stepped back. Then the play began. It was so good that I sat breathless through the whole act and wrhen the curtain finally fell, hiding her from view, a cry went up of “Hurrah for Miss Stanton.” “Miss Stanton?” I asked Madame Latour. “Yes.” said she, “Lillian Stanton, the world’s pet idol of the stage.” The next scene was that of a beautiful home in the country. It was built on a hillside with great, green slop- ing lawns. A brook murmured just back of the house and a circle of old oak trees shaded the front lawn. But hist! what is this? On his knees just before the gate is a man, whose figure seems strangely familiar. He is training climbing loses and honeysuckle to climb up over the gate. Just then the door flies open and a little girl, with flying yellow’ curls and blue eyes, calls, “Daddy!” T he man looks up. She is holding out some pink roses tow’ard him. Reluctantly I watch the scene fade aw ay and I turn to Madame Latour. “That,” said Madame Latour. ‘is Earl R. Ross, retired radio operator, million- aire and the best sport in King county.” EDNA TRABOXT, ’22 LAST WILL AMI TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1022 We, the Senior Class of 1922 of Monroe Union High School, State of Washington, County of Snohomish, United states of America, being of sound mind, memory and un- derstanding, possessing required amount of sense and nonsense, and not acting under fraud, bribes or wrong influence of any individual or living creature, and con- sidering our end near, do organize and declare this our last will and testament, for the purpose of disposing of our grudges, cares, grievances, misfortunes and responsib- ilities; also of our numerous pleasures and ideals, and bequeathing the same as follows; thereby declaring null and void all wills made by us at any other time, to-wit: ARTICLE 1 1st.

ARTICLE X In witness whereof, we have hereby signed, sealed, and pub- lished, and declared this document as our last Will and Testament, at the Monroe High School, on the 7th day of June. 1922. SENIOR CLASS OF 1922 JUNIORS Junior, as defined in Webster’s Unabridged, means ‘The third year of a four year course as given in American schools and colleges.” To us of the class of 1923, Junior means something entirely different. Our idea of the ingredients necessary for the right kind of a Junior Class is as follows; One promising young football captain, bowlegged, possessing the sterling qualities of a silver-tongued orator and a first rate book agent; one who would be a domestic science teacher, who has giggling worked down to a fine art, and who can talk more in five minutes than the ordi- nary mortal can in forty-five; one brilliant Lothario, alias Gawgie, who, with the ability to blush becomingly, also has a weakness for dancing lessons and jazz; one basket- ball center, who divides her time equally on the gym floor between falling down and picking herself up, and whose favorite diversion is bookkeeping. Mix these ingredients well, and then add a lovesick young man, proud possessor of a Senior class ring, who knows few things in general and but two in particular, these being “It’s absoultely im- possible to learn this kinda stuff called geometry, and I can’t for the life of me decide whether I prefer a dashing brunette or a blushing junior.” At this point pause to view this amazing mixture, and then proceed as follows: Add one speed demon, having absolutely no respect for speed laws on the track, and who is Henry Ford’s most active rival, along with the ability to run he also has big feet and can play the part of a coun- try rube to perfection. Tn the midst of all this, throw in one bob-haired person possessing plenty of common sense, and a taste for higher mathematics, coupled with the abil- ity to drag “A’s” from any teacher we have ever had the pleasure or misfortune of meeting. By way of seasoning, add the president of the class (the less said about her the better) and after stirring thoroughly, mix in one future literary light, at present acting as secretary of the Junior class, and developing her literary genius by working over- time on bookkeeping every night. For diluting materials, add one blue-eyed vamp, having a pleasant drawling voice and always accompanied by her dark-haired side-kicker; one shining example of the old adage, “You can’t keep a good man down ” namely, Ernest Dahlgren: and one coun- try gentleman, possessing, first an extraordinary speaking voice which he seldom uses; second, the ability to be a shining light in his physics class: third, the poor iudg- ment to break his left wrist instead of his right one. Last, but not least, add the remainder of the infant prodigies in the class. The result, after careful speculation, long care and a bit of imagination on the part of the reader, will be the greatest little class that ever was; namely, the class of ’23. WELAMENA HAMILTON, ’23. SOPHOMORES The Sophomore Class of 1922 entered the Monroe Union High School as eighth graders. This was the first time that the eighth grade was ever held at the High School. Having duly graduated from the common school we entered the Freshman year as a class of forty-two stu- dents, the largest in the history of the school. We organ- ized our class during the first six weeks; Miss Cornish and Miss Mateiscn were our class advisors. We attempted our first p°rf y shortly after the annual Junior Mixer. It was a decided success. Class day came late in the year, having been scheduled for the same days as the school track meet. Each student was dressed to represent an occupation. At noon a feed was held at the cafeteria, while the party came that night. This year the Sophomore Class is represented by the following: Oliver Williams Pearl Broughton Mary Barr Norman Klien Charles Righetti Earle Olson Oswald Stucky Fred Bowen Clara Gerber Harry Donavon Theadora Goodrich Miriam BaUey Iva Johnson Clara Barr Walter Anderson Harriett� Shannahan Robert Rus ell Georgia Snyder Alice O’Brien Phoebe Nickel James Donavon Bertha Elliotte Thelma Hewitt Noris Mathey Ray McCullaugh Glen Oules Noris Richardson Lewis Frohning Frank Kennon Fredrick Ackerman Albert Olson Kenneth Walters Mildred Maine Gwen Perkins Class officers are: President—Robert Russell. Vice-President—Frank Kennon. Secretary and Treasurer—Iva Johnson. Advisors—Miss Cornish and Miss Elgin. This year the Sophomores won distinction early in the term by coming second at the mock track meet held at the Junior Mixer. We have also to be proud of the fact that the captains of both basketball teams were Sopho- mores. We have had but two functions of importance this term, but are contemplating a third. The first one men- tioned above we entertained the Seniors. The second was in honor of the basketball boys. As the rest of the term was rather uneventful no more items may be recorded.

We have few' important events to record but the pro- verb. “Happy is the lend hat has no history,” may possibly be applied to classes also. We started the year off right by electing Roberta Countryman President, Elva McDougal Vice-President. Harold Hailey secretary, Lloyd Ross treasurer, with Miss Valleau and Miss Benthien as class advisors, and later Miss Lindaas was added. At this meeting also we decided upon silver and gold as our class colors, the symbol of the world’s greatest treasurers, symbolical also of the trea- sures of knowledge we are striving to attain. The Mixer, which was the first social event of the year, was held for the purpose of getting better acquainted, a purpose successfully fulfilled. The gymnasium was ar- tistically decorated in yellow and black giving all those present a hint of Halloween. Then came Class Day, the second social affair of the year. The boys decked in their huge yellow' ties and the girls with their bows of silver and gold gave a gay and festive appearance to the occasion. The dinner, as well as the after-dinner toasts, were par-excellence and after much enjoyment during the rest of the afternoon only one thing displeased us—that was that Class Day did not come more often. But it has not been all play, for we have labored hard. We recall the mid-year exams as a dark cloud hanging over us, and although some of us were pleased with the results we received we all made a sincere reso- lution to study harder during the coming semester with the determination to win out in the final exams. We can never forget our Eighth grade year, the thought w ill always bring pleasant memories of the many happy days we spent there. As we enter our High School career we shall always bear in mind the kindly helpfulness of our three beloved teachers, Miss Valleau, Miss Lindaas, and Miss Benthien. BERNICE FORSETH, 26 SOCIETY Sept. 23. Gee! the Seniors were invited to a hard time party by the Sophomores. They sent us the cutest little invitations, written on brown wrapping paper and stating that we should wear our old clothes and that “biled” shirts were prohibited. We went. And we had a good time. You bet, we played games just like young folks and they gave us coffee cake and cider. On the evening of Sept. 30 the Seniors had their an- nual Senior Simper. We met our new professor, Mr. Hal lock, and indications seemed to point that we would like him. The boys had to go after Phillip who seemed to be very bashful. Mary gave a cute little toast, also Earl, Web, Fred, Mr. Hallock, and Minerva. Nov. 5. Today the Senior girls fed the football boys from Snohomish. The cocoa was not sweet enough and so Gen remedied it by putting a cup of salt in it. The boys all said that it was a swell feed despite the cocoa. Dec. 2. The Seniors, in order to show their gratitude for Miss Sherrill’s help with the play, gave a little supper in her honor. Mr. Hallock did not know he was invited until the last minute, and then Kate fixed things. The table was decorated in green and white and they had some very ef- fective place cards. Each did his share by telling a story, but we vote Mr. Hallock won the medal, especially when he couldn’t get over the fence. Later in the evening we gave Miss Sher- rill a silk umbrella and after the dishes w'ere washed we went home. Oct. 14. This is the night that so many of us look forward to and after it is gone are sorry. The Mixer was a wonderful success; even though Pat put some raisins in the cider. The Freshmen won the medal for the biggest feet. On account of The Sahalie going to press early, no more social activities can be recorded. ALUMNI 1911 Esther Leduc-Nieholson. San Francisco, Calif.

The football prospects seemed pretty poor in the early fall of 1921 for Monroe, there being but three letter men, Spillers, E. Phillips and Augustine (Capt.) Many Fresh- men, due to their size, were encouraged to turn out regu- larly. This year was the first time the team was uni- formly equipped. The results of the first game gave some encourage- ment in that the “rookies” defeated a team composed of all the old stars and “beef” that could be picked up about town who called themselves Alumni. The game seemed lost when the Alumni kicked the goal after a touchdown making the score 14 to 13 in their favor, but with two minutes to play, the High School received the ball on their fifteen yard line. As a last resort, Quarterback Fred- die threw' a long pass to Augustine, who went for a touch- down. As a result the Alumni backed the High School all through the season. Monroe won the next five games by large scores, Sul- tan there, 34-6, Granite there 40-0, Edmonds at Monroe 54-0, Stanw'ood there 25-6, and fifth defeating the Snoho- mish team who outweighed Monroe ten pounds to the man, by the remarkable score of 69-7. On Armistice Day, some twro thousand people gath- ered at Marysville to watch Monroe and Marysville settle the one hundred per cent standing of each team. This was the largest crowd ever assembled in Snohomish Coun- ty, outside of Everett, to witness an athletic contest of any kind. Coach Hallock’s first Monroe team was unable to defeat his team at Marysville which he coached and made champions for three years. The last game of the season was with Arlington on Monroe’s field which was covered with three inches of snow'. Monroe’s light team lost all chances of scoring against Arlington’s heavier team due to the slippery field. This concluded the football season of 1921. On the whole, Mcnroe had a very successful season, losing only two g mes and these losses were to teams that had their same experienced teams for two or three years respectively.

BASEBALL 1921 Monroe organized a baseball team which played three games. A game was played with Sultan at Monroe and a return. Though the games were quite exciting, Monroe came out on the short end. Everett High School came to Monroe one afternoon and went home victors. It was probably due to the fact that many of the play- ers turned out for track at the same time, that the team was not better organized. The letter earners were as follows: George Russell, David Campbell, Ollie Little, Webster Augustine, Hart Bascom, Fred Bowen, George Herley, Granis Austin, Lester Peterson, Lewellyn Jones.

After the first game, a defeat to Edmonds, Thomas was put on guard and Augustine at center. The following week we played the old-timers who anticipated beating the High School, but something had happened, because the High School wen by the one-sided score of 25-10. The old-timers as- serted that they were getting too old. The following week Monroe lost to Granite Falls but beat Sultan a week later. Then Monroe swamped Stan wood by the score of 52-7. The next game played with Snohomish was an off night for Monroe, losing in the last three minutes, when Snohomish caged three long shots making the score 39-33 in their favor. Monroe then lost to Marysville, besides having an off night, the team was without Donovan, who, due to a “Charlie-horse,” was unable to play in the next four gtines. Monroe next journeyed to Arlington beating them by the close score of 29-28. Monroe wound up the first series by defeating Lake Stevens 47-5. Tn the first game of the finals we “cleaned up” Sultan by the biggest score ever run un in any county league game, 72-17. Monroe then defeated Lake Stevens in their “match box gym,” 30-8. Snohomish forfeited, leav- ing Monroe and Marysville tied for third place. Those who earned letters this year are as follows: James Donovan. Ctpain. Harold Thomas. Webster Augustine. Curtis Spillers. George Herley. E. Gerrer and E. Phillips.

There were but four teams in the county league to play when Snohomish and Sultan were disqualified for having illegal players. The sick boys with their sore right arms, due to vac- cination, journeyed to Granite Falls and managed to wui 21-18 in a hard fought game. In a close game Monroe de- feated Arlington on the home floor 25-17. The following week Monroe defeated Marysville at Marysville 25-15. This was the first time Marysville had been defeated on her own floor for three years in a county championship game. This game clinched the champion- ship for Monroe and knowing this the team seemed unable to defeat Edmonds, losing the game 25-16. The old-timers challenged the champions intending to show them how the game should be played, but were defeated 19-17. In a second attempt to outshine us they were defeated by the pitiful score of 36-12. The county championship team was as follows: Henry Dennis (Capt.) Webster Augustine Ollie Little George Russell David Campbell James Donovan Powell Henry (Capt.)

Low Roe Malone Courtney Belt Marion Tadlock Darrold Wagner GIRLS’ BASKETBALL, 1922 This was the first year Monroe entered the Snohomish County Girls’ League. The season was a very successful one, winning six and losing but two games, the total scores for the season being 166 for Monroe to 83 for opponents. We lost our first game to Edmonds by the close score of 17-22, and were defeated by Granite Falls (the 1921 champions) in a hard fight, 8-12. This team closed its season by defeating Edmonds (this year’s champions) by the score of 25-20. The result of this game tied Monroe and Granite Falls by percentage for second place in the county league.
