We entered with intermingled joy and sadness upon the closing chapter of our High School life, jubilant that we had reached the place where we are that which the Freshman looks from afar, the Sophomore yearns to be, and the junior hopes to be, but with sad- ness and sorrow on leaving the school we love so well. We at last reached the long sought goal, and thought ourselves second to none. We welcomed with joy Marie Shull and Frank Wright from the junior class and Christopher Damitio, a Senior from Elma. Grace Baldwin, however, not coming back to school left us eleven graduates. On the evening of April 22, we staged the Senior play, And Billy Disappearedf' which was a marked success. All through the year we entertained and were entertained by the other classes and outsiders, but the climax came when we gave the farewell party, the close of our social functions. Again we were leaders in base- ball, basketball, debate, dramatics, paper staff and student body. Our class officers are: Charles Couch, president, Georgena Fettis, vice-president, Christopher Damitio, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Benthien, class advisor. This marks the closing of all our un- happy dreams and from now on it will be Find a Path or Make Une. CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1921, of the Union High School, Oak- ville, Washington, in eleven distinct and separate units, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, with almost superhuman understanding and being of sound and stable mentality, not under menace or undue influence of teachers, superintendent or any other irresponsible persons, do leave this last will and testament, to be carried out and executed by our successors, the class of '22. Item. We do hereby will and bequeath to the members of the faculty better dispositions, all of the wonderful information we have supplied them with, together with our gratitude and sincere thanks for their willing aid during our four years of high school life.

' ' ' ' ' D94 ' LUJLKWJLQQJLKUJLKUJLKWJDSADUJ SENIOR HISTORY Chapter 1. In September, 1917, the largest class that ever entered the O. H. S., enrolled as Freshmen. This class was composed of thirty- four timid little pupils, armed with eighth grade diplomas, the ma- jority of which came from the neighboring districts. This class was ours. The upper classmen took delight in tormenting us in every way describable, but in spite of this we bravely struggled on and made the first year of our new life a success. In athletics we were ably represented, as three of our boys played on the basket- ball team. Early in the fall we organized, having previously learned the value of starting out right. VVe launched out with the following officers: Willie Simmons, president, Irene Clark, vice-president, Ruby Hyder, secretary, I-Ierbert I-Iolland, treasurer, and Mr. Dean, class advisor. We then preceeded to make good use of our time by hard study an strict obedience to all rules. Chapter II. The following September the Book of Learning opened, but instead of the mighty class that the book closed on only ten entered as Sophomores. VVe realized our position and stayed strictly in its bounds and did not take as active a part in school activities as we might have. It was during this year baseball was organized, and we sent two of our players to enter into it. We entertained the other classes several times and gave a very profitable basket social. We sailed through the year with flying colors, without a class advisor and but two class officers, Elinor Dahl, president and Geor- O'ena Fettis, secretary-treasurer. Irene Clark dropped out during C the year, leaving but nine members. Chapter III.

From the very start we took 'I an active part in school activities, it was like a butterfly emerging from a caterpillar. We were represented in baseball, basketball, l debate, dramatics, paper staff and furnished a president, Archie 4 Inmon, and vice-president, Georgena Fettis, for the A. S. B. E We held up more than our share of the social activities and ended by giving one of the best parties of the year.
