f Of most honorable mention is our worthy president, Ned Darlington. He is a conspicuous person in school affairs, especially debate, and was editor-in-chief of the annual last year. He leads the class in scholastic standing and is a model student, and an excellent example for both boys and girls of the succeeding years to follow. Next comes Gene Boswell, our vice-president. He has showed his ability on the High School basketball team and also is prominent on the baseball squad. Our secretary and treasurer is Lois Logue. With great efficiency she performs her duty. She was president of our class last year and has taken great interest in all school affairs. Dorothy Davenport is another good member, and in spite of serious illness, has shown wonderful grit in plodding along, so that she ma graduate with her class- mates whom she has been with through the four years ofyhigh school life. She also furnished music, when needed, with her violin. Esther Keizer is one of the important persons who cooperates with anything going, so long as it is in keeping with the necessary activities of the class. Esther avors our programs with piano solos and can give good speeches when called upon. Raymond Duncan is quiet, but no one knows what quietude affords at times when quick action is needed. He is well liked by everyone and helps keep the electric bells ringing for us. Raymond is never too busy to help out when trying sit-chee-ations arise. james Gibbons is a small bundle of wit. He makes the class send out laughter on the air during the dreary da s and never lets them forget the fun, even when the sun is shining. James is a friendlto all, and why not? Doesn't everyone like a joke Cno insinuationsl-I mean the jokes he tells. Marion Boswell keeps Raymond company in not saying muchwbut he says some- thing when he does open his mouth. You never knew of a finer example of brotherly love than he shows or Gene. Although they are both in the same class, there is never an ounce of trouble between them. James Gray is another of our class who has helped win our debates. He also works for the interest of the class. He informed us one ay in English Class that the most common kinds of feet were big feet and dirty feetwwe wonder why he takes such an interest in them QD. Certainly our advisor, Miss Parker, should know how we appreciated her help and advice in everything we did. She has made many a bright, happy spot in our lives and we hope she can sense what it has meant to us. Mrs. Warman has surely been patient with us in grammar and we here express our gratitude. Last, but surely not least, comes Mr. Eminger. He has seen us through our four years of high school and we hope We have improved decidely during that time. He too, has been a personal friend to each of us and we wish him success wherever he goes and I'm sure we'll never forget him. To be honest with ou-our parents have a huge lot in this helping business and our teachers coulcilnot have succeeded so well had the parents not put their brick in our wall. These cherished memories might be forgotten for a time, but they will never die. Page Eleven f Ig KP ---'ffl.

It was a class full of pep, a good example of the old maxim The more the merrier, for then we numbered nineteen. Dorothy Davenport, Esther Keizer, Jewell Watkins, Nadine Moore, Gladys Day, Alvena Spees, Mildred Boyd, Lois Logue, Raymond Duncan, Vernon Roughton, Bill Sanders, David Leach, James Gibbons, John Beacham, David Latimer, Albert McDonald, Gene Boswell, Ned Darlington, and james Gray kept our dearly-loved advisor, Miss Lessing, from forgetting the characteristics of Freshmen. The following year found our class reduced to sixteen. Old P. H. S. never realized how important we were to her until the three months of vacation, when everything was so still at the school house. Her bricks fairly flushed red when she saw the brood returning to the fold. This year Harold Dixon and Louis Davis were welcomed into our circle, we had lost Jewell Watkins, Gladys Day, Alvena Specs, Bill Sanders, and David Latimer, but we gained a new advisor, Mr. Chute. In ourjunior year our group was diminished still more, this time it being a lucky thirteen. Alvin Newland was the only new student to enter and enjoy our joviality. Our two new members of the preceding year had dro ped out, also Vernon Roughton and john Beacham. Although it was sad to think ofjour absent friends, each indivi- dual stiffened and determined to keep going, which shows the luck of the class. Our class edited the Lomoa annual which had been started onliy three short years before. The latter part of this diary will tell of our thrilling Senior year. Our present members number among the world's best. We are nine, and ten with Miss Parker: Dorothy Davenport, Esther Keizer, Lois Logue, Ned Darlin ton, Raymond Duncan, Gene Boswell, James Gibbons, Marion Boswell, and James gray. Page Ten

I 59 -..Q .1559 -,1- Zi. ,-,,... ,. , 45 Senior Class Prophecy THE SENIORS OF '30 IN 1945 just give me your thoughts, And give me your mind, We'll go straying together, The '30 Seniors to find. Fifteen years have elapsed since they parted, From old P. H. S. so dear, So let us now wander together, To find them far and near. Let us wander to good old Scotland, Where the heather blooms year after year, And we'1l find our old pal Dorothy, Don't you hear a violin playing clear? A success she has made with her music And now she travels abroad She plays before royal people And wins audiences to great applause. Let us look for another of our classmates The smallest of the class, We'll find Lois in New York City, We shall want to visit this little lass. We'll not go to her home to find her, But go to a theater where, We'll find our little friend Lois Dancing with golden hair. This time our thoughts will wander, High, high into the air, And we'll find Raymond Duncan, Sailing an airplane there. In high school he dreamed of airplanes And if ever a book did find, That mentioned a thing about flying, He absorbed it all in his mind. Let us turn now to Washington State College, And enter a class room bare, And we'll find our old friend, Gene Boswell, Sitting in a professor's chair. In a dignified way he teaches his class, The rights and wrongs of grammar, He teaches them how to stand on their feet, And give a speech and not stammer. Another of our classmates is Marion Boswell, A brother of dignified Gene, And we will turn our thoughts to Africa, In order that Marion may be seen. He's a second Teddy Roosevelt, When it comes to hunting game, And even the wildest animals, With his gentle voice he can tame. Let us wander to a Seattle theater, And with surprise as we enter there, We hear James Gray singing, An old familiar air. Oh! I wish I had someone to love me, Somebody to call me their own, Oh! I wish I had some one to live with, 'Cause I'm tired of living alone. Let us turn our thoughts to the capitol, Of the old U. S. so dear, And we'll find our classmate Ned Darlington, And once again his voice shall hear. He is now making a notorious stand, For the great nation's need, And trying to convince the senators, That prohibition should be our creed. The next person we shall visit, Is of very great renown, I am sure you remember James Gibbons, The boy who was always a clown. We will find James in Hollywood, The place where great actors stay, He is now a second Al Jolson, And wipes people's blues away. So dear Classmates we have parted, And may be found far and near, . But we have never forgotten each other, Nor old P. H. S. so dear. r Page 'Twelve I ESTHER KEIZER.
