THF TILLICUM I! CLASS HISTORY Of the entering class of 1919, but two members are left. The rest are scattered to the four winds, and these four years have been such busy ones that we scarce remember who our classmates were when we were Freshmen. The class of 1919 has always shown brilliantly in school activ- ities. Every member has represented 0. H. S. in basket ball and our one representative of the masculine sex distinguished himself in the boys' quartet for three years. Our success in dramatics and other enterprises can be found elsewhere in this volume. This year we have felt our responsibility keenly, and we hope that the Freshmen have appreciated the kindness we have shown themg the Sophomores, the friendly criticism we have given themg and the Juniors, the good example we have set them. Vlfe are every one aliens to this fair city, not one having lived here all his life, and only one having had all his schooling here. Since we are quite as interesting individually as collectively, we will give a brief account of the life of each member. Martha Mennish, our class president, was born in Hoquiam, VVashington, December l, 1898. That city proved rather monoton- ous to her, so, when she was ten years of age, her parents took her to Q'Neill, Nebraska. They remained there two years and then re- turned to Garrard Creek, Vwlashington. Dollie continued her schooling on Garrard Creek for three years, graduating from the eighth grade. She attended school at Raymond as a Freshman and has been with us the past three years. Dollie has been our star basketball player and we thought she had at least ordinary strength until, one night at play practice, Mr. Hargreaves in a momentary blaze of wrath, clubbed her with a toothpick, knocking her over backwards and causing her to roll down a flight of steps. Qf course, the condition of her heart is such that it might be expected to fail her at times. Herbert Fry was born at Sitely, Cowlitz County, Vlfashington, May 28, 1899. The following fall his parents moved to lohn's River

He grad- uated from the eighth grade at Vlfestern, but has completed his entire high school course at 0. H. S. In basket ball and base ball, Herbert Fry has always been a main stay. His talents, however, are not confined solely to ath- letics, for he has made himself famous by his interpretation of the character of 'tHiram in The Prodigal Husband. A treasure to English teachers, he will always be. He is never more than two weeks late with themes, and has never received a grade lower than D. Moreover, his outlines and book reviews are sure tofbe handed in not later than ten days after the end of the semester. Herbert likes English in any form and for the next few years will probably find Stella, to whom he has ever been faithful, a gracious inspir4 tion to his literary ambitions. Jessie Bain comes from the thriving metropolis of Tacoma. where she was born July 31, 1900. She went to school there for seven years and then hit the trail for Canada. It is thought by some that Jessie acquired her peculiar habit of 'fraising Cain while in that I-British province. Her wanderings next landed her on Gar- rard Creek, but the mud proved too much for her and she showed her good taste by coming to Oakville to finish high school. At times Jessie is quite the biggest hypocrite imaginable, but she usually practices her flirting in the open. The way she vamps the lower class boys is not becoming to one of her years and position so we are led to believe that she considers it her only chance. As for myself, it has been so long since I was born and I was so young when it happened, that I cannot remember anything about it. Iam said to be a studious sort of person but I must confess that the reason I study is because I am always so very, very sleepy, and I have found the best method of getting the teachers to leave me alone is to be able to answer the questions they ask me. We have all enjoyed our school life and have many regrets at our leave taking. Whatever misfortunes have befallen us, we lay at our own doorsf for our motto is, Life is what you make it. -Dorothy Paul.
