The Junior Class S INCE we have been Freshmen we have silently waited for a chance to blossom out in school activities. This last year as Juniors and as the class of ’24 we have fulfilled our ambition. In scholarship, athletics, dramatics and social affairs we have taken a prominent part. In athletics Fred Ellsworth has been prominent, having been track captain for the year. Clyde Robertson was on the football team during the first semester and Fred Billings was the captain of the 120 lb. foot¬ ball team. Lois Sanderson was secretary of girls’ athletics and has done much to promote the Girls’ Athletic Association this year. Many of the Junior boys and girls took part in the Charm School, the annual P. H. S. play and helped to make it a success. Dooley Ryan took several leading parts in the vaudeville and has been our very highly commended yell leader for the last year. Elma Barry has been Secretary of Social Affairs and Chairman of the Booster Club. She has taken an active part in the boosting foi P. H. S. We have given two snappy and very successful dances co- operating with the Seniors. Evelyn Steitz has been the president of the Girls’ League and has done much to promote a friendly and co-operative spirit among the girls. Catherine Coghill was Secretary of Social Affairs and did much to make the Junior-Senior dance a success. Roy Raymond has had charge of all the seat sales for plays and the vaudeville for the last year and is largely responsible for the fine sale of seats. There are many Junior members in the Honor Society and we hope the Senior membership will increase much more next yeai. With Clyde Robertson and Max Flolir as our presidents for the last year the class of ’24 has lived up to its motto, “Watch us Glow! NANETTE LIE BERT. 17

The Sophomore Class HEN we started to High School as Freshmen we planned to make a beautiful journey of it. We traveled in an airship with Frest Jackson as our pilot and had a most successful year. He acquainted us with all the school activities. This year, under the pilot- ship of Doris Hopkns, weliave again taken active part in everything. As we came to different places of interest in High School the pupils would ask to have the airship stopped so they could participate in the different activities. The first place at which we landed was the Land of Plays, Music and Dancing. Forest Jackson furnished music with his saxaplione, and Betty McConagliy danced. Olga Gekkeler and Harold Gregg con¬ descended to sing with Galli Curci and Harry Lauder. Jack Waycott showed himself such a gifted comedian that he is being besieged with offers from New York’s greatest companies; he is consequently pre¬ paring to go on the stage as a second Fred Stone. At the Honor Society Convention eleven of our Sophomores joined. They were: Annie Berger, Molly Burmester, Rosalind Lapike, Mabel Martin, Nellie Nelson, Wilma Ott, Anderson Peoples, Marguerite Scott, Li lath Smith, Carolyn Thorsen and Irene Way. In the Land of Stenography Alice Paulsen, Lilatli Smith, Elsie Lorentzen and many others showed us they were born stenographers. In typing Olive Thomas, Grace Young, Marion Olmsted and others are preparing to meet Miss Bessie Friedman, the typist who now holds the accuracy championship of the world but who is likely to be defeated by one of these girls in the near future. The next halt was called in the Athletic grounds. Here we entered five football men, four track men, one basketball man, and two baseball men. Not a few of the boys have numerals and Mickey Clark and Walter Sjosten have received block P’s. On the tennis courts Margaret Scott is becoming such a world’s wonder that she will probably meet Miss Mallory n the near future. Lilatli Smith led her basketball team to easy victory and the Sophomore girls are now the champions of the school. Some of our literary artists have had the honor of having their work published in the P. T. A. Bulletins. As a diversion for our hard-working people we planned a dance which was given at the Woman’s Club House. This proved to be a de¬ cided success. We had a wonderful time and gave the San Rafael foot¬ ball boys a good time, too. We are planning another dance to be given in May in our new gymnasium arid a lively and unique program is to be given. Next year we hope to keep sailing on as smoothly as we have sail¬ ed in our Freshman and Sophomore years. Me will make many more valuable “finds” which will boost our school along the way toward the Land of Happiness and Success. Secretary, NELLIE NELSON. — 19 -
