SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The class of 1935 started up the Mt. Baker Trail in 1931 with lots of pep. It took a little while for them to get used to the climbing, but they soon entered into the spirit of it and began in earnest. The guides for that first long stretch were Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Stephens. The class lead- ers were: president, Jimmie Kaleg and secretary, Leo Haddox. Since the Class was intent on climbing that first year, not a great deal was done in the way of entertainments, but a good Freshman program was put on, which carried out the St. Patrick's Day theme. Several boys turned out for athletics. Among these were Fred Kinderman, Arnold Wahl, and Lawrence Olsen. Then came a long rest period in the climb. In the fall of 1932 they started on again, this time with Mrs. Fullner and Mr. Dickey as guides and the following climbers as leaders: presi- dent, Fred Nylandg vice-president, Arnold Wahlg and secretary, Alice Bollerud. This year the group was quite used to Climbing and had the fun of Watching the freshmen start up the trail. ,M ...- XVr:s1.1cY Homifxx . P'r'esi1lm:f C1ll'IS'l'l4IR IVIUNGAN .

The Sophomore program, the main part of which was a Sherlock Holmes play, was the main event of this climb. At the end of the climb the class invited the rest of the hikers on a picnic at Lake Samish to celebrate the beginning of another long rest. The class was really organized in their junior year and started out with Eugene Olmsted as president, Lawrence Olsen as vice-president, Irene Nesset as secretary, and Miss Nelson and Mr. Dickey as guides. A very successful mystery play, The Cat O' Nine Tailsu was present- ed, with Myron McGill, Betty Anderson, Harold Johnson, Eugene Olmsted, Marion Coles, and Alice Bollerud in the leading roles. The plot centered around the disappearance of some very valuable papers of Mr. Gordon fEugene Olmstedj. Miss Smithe, a detective, CMarion Colesj entered the scene to solve the mystery. The Cat O' Nine Tails was finally found to be the supposedly crazy helper in the house, Henry CHarold Johnsonl, who was really a hypnotist and made nearly everyone bend to his will. He was finally caught by Betty fBetty Andersonj and Jimmie fMyron Mc- Gillj. There were also many other characters who helped build up the story. From the Junior class Arnold Wahl was chosen as president of the Student Body, Fred Kinderman as vice-president, and George Nyland as business manager. The boys from the class in first string basketball were: Arnold Wahl, Wesley Hopman, Lawrence Olsen, Perry Marcy, and Fred Kinderman. In the spring the juniors gave the annual banquet for the seniors. An airplane idea was carried out in the senior colors of blue and gold. Thus came the end of another climb. The last stretch began with Wesley Hopman as president, Chester Morgan as vice-president, Dorothy McMurry as secretary, and Miss Schlauch and Mr. Beighle as guides. The student body officers from the senior class were: president, Fred Nyland, vice-president, Eugene Olmsted, secretary, Irene Nesset, and business manager, Myron McGill. The boys on first team basketball were Wesley Hopman, Fred Kin- derman, Perry Marcy, Lawrence Olsen, Arnold Wahl, Carl Akin, and Ross Johnson. At Christmas the Senior program consisted of a play, From Our House to Your House , with Jimmie Kale and Bertha Fotch in the lead- ing parts. From Dollars to Doughnuts was chosen as the annual Senior play, and is yet to be given. According to plans, the last few miles of the journey include Class Day, Baccalaureate, and, last of all, Commencement. So ends the climb for the class of 1935. Nine
