,J'fVfAAEI V SENIOR CLASS HISTORY CHAPTER I September eighth, nineteen hundred nineteen, is a date that will long be remmembered by the Senior class of '23, and others who were present at the time, when eighteen Freshman, green as any Freshman could be passed into the assembly. Though we were green we were not slow and soon a class meet- ing was held at which Lee Fisher was elected president, Mildred Paul, Vice-President, and Francelle Newton, Secretary-Treasurer. We had four lettermen in the football team, Merrill Irvin, Har- old Ross, Lee Fisher and Fred Kjellman. Three boys represented us in basket ball, Chester Richardson, Lee Fisher and Donald McIntyre. In baseball we were represented by Roy Adams, and Lee Fisher who also took important parts in the senior play. CHAPTER II. We entered as Sophomores in the fall of 1920, but this time were not so haughty, as before, as the upper-classmen had taken quite a bit of that out of us. That had nothing to do with our pep , we were a lively class with twenty members. We elected Ruth Austin, President, and Lee Fisher Secretary- Treasurer. During the year the class entertained the school and faculty with a party and nearing the close of the year the class gave a weenie roast. Mildred Paul, and Eunice Kjellman left us and entered the Junior class. Chester Richardson entered Rochester high school, while Roy Adams and Donald McIntyre dropped out of school.

1, Q M Mwfrgii-ffw SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY I, Harold Ross, had kept myself in touch with my classmates until 1933, exactly ten years after our graduation. I went to South America on a cruise of my coffee plantation and nine years sped swiftly by without word from any of my classmen, so I lost all track of them with the exception of Ted Moon. Business called me to Ri-o de Janeiro, and many interesting events and occur- ences came up so I vowed to keep a diary. It dates from January 16th 1941, until I returned to New Orleans where the headquarters of the Exporting Company were. Jan. 16. Today I was obliged to go to the American Minister for a passport and was both astonished and pleased to find that the noted personage was nonepother than Carrol Couch. He invited me to stay as his guest at the Minister's Mansion, while in the metropolis. Jan. 27. Took advantage of the week before sailing and enjoyed myself to the fullest extent. Was rather sorry when the 28th came, but as I had already wired Ted that I would be in San Francisco on the third of February, I was obliged to make connections. Jan. 30. Have been so busy the last few days that I haven't had much time to write, I'll be in San Francisco in five more days. Won- derful weather for cruising despite the fact that it is mid-winter. Feb. 3. At last! Met Ted, Cecil and Harlie at the San Francisco Terminal and had,,lunch at the St. Francis, but haven't time to write more as I'm going out to Cecil's winter home, on Santa Barbara Avenue. A veritable palace. Feb. 5. Have been having a splendid time, was talking with Cecil and Ted. They told me what they were doing. Ted, it seems is U. S. Senator from California and Cecil is a prominent exporter and im- porter with his head office at San Francisco. They both told me that Harlie was a famous actor and director. Feb. 12. Have spent a whole week with Cecil and start north to- morrow. Feb. 13. Cecil had decided to take a vacation and we are going up north in the sea-going yacht Cecil K . Feb. 15. Rather stormy today. Waves pretty high and well white capped. Will leave Cecil in Tacoma. Feb. 17. Touched port today-6:30 A. M.-leave for Tacoma to- morrow. Feb. 19. Landed in Tacoma today. Feb. 20. Met Henry Anderson at the Rotary Club. He is the city's most prominent real estate broker. Feb. 23. Have been all over Tacoma. Henry told me that Flor- ence and Wreatha Comfort had completed a novel recently, which had won them world-wide fame. Feb. 25. Went over to Seattle today and had occasion to go to the University of Washington, there, I met Mary and James Easter .- ....,. fg3T,?3fi11e:La.-- -e-. ls-
