(D|c (Eiger Jlilu Class istorp Clang! Clang! Clang! There goes the bell at last and we—sixty noisy, boistrous freshmen— started on our way to the high school. There was much laughing, joking and noise making on the way to the school until we disturbers were stopped by an upper classman who informed us, in no soft tones to “pipe down” and be more quiet, for we were only freshmen. At last we arrived at the school house. We tip-toed to the door and we rapped for admission. A big gruff voice, that sounded like a papa bear, told us to come in—go into the study hall—sit down—and keep quiet. We went in the study hall; we sat down; we kept quiet. We were soon assigned to our home rooms, and “day by day in every way we grew bolder and bolder.” Two weeks later, one of us, brighter than the average, decided we should have class officers, a class flower, a motto, a class insignia, and a class advisor. As officers we elected Carlton Carlson President; Fred Lin-nan Vice President; Marcella Fitzsimmons Secretary and Grace Keagle Treasurer. The Chrysanthemum was chosen as our class flower; “Not at the top, but climbing,” as our motto; and as advisor, Mr. Hockenberry was chosen. In the second semester we chose Joseph Teater as President, Fred Linnan as Vice President, Joan Capellman as Secretary and Grace Keagle as Treasurer. The outstanding event of this year was the Freshman Reception, at which event we were officially entered into the ranks of P. A. H. S. We, freshmen, excelled in sponsoring parties, weiner roasts, sleigh-rides and other social functions that require superior ability. At the end of our first year our high marks and the frequency of our names on the honor roll proved us to be a class of high scholastic ability. In the fall of 1929 the same old bell told us the same old story, that school days were here again. This year found us smaller in numbers but strong in determination to make this the best year yet. At the beginning of the term we elected our class officers as follows: Thomas Mowry President; Sherman Dickman Vice President; Deba Skaden Secretary, and Nathan Bard Treasurer. Later we appointed as president Norman Billingsley; as Vice President, Sherman Dickman; as Secretary Grace Keagle; and as Treasurer Nathan Bard. Our greatest achievement for this year was the sponsoring of a benefit party for the Seniors. The gym was decorated to represent a night club and rechristened “Club Mazda Lane.” This party was both financially and socially successful. We maintained the reputation we acquired in our freshman year by having Joan Capellman, Wilma Retzer and Deba Skaden on the Girl’s Champion 1930 Basketball

tDlie (Eiger ICilu Team, and Pete Johnson and Fred Linnan on the Boys’ Champion Basket ball team. The first semester of our Junior year was uneventful except for the arrival of our class rings. From the beginning of the second semester, we began making preparations for the Junior Prom. The theme for decoration was an enormous rainbow which was skilfully constructed over the sides and ceiling of the gym. The banquet, which was held at the Canoe Place Inn, was followed by dancing at the gym. Needless to say, the Prom was a huge success and enjoyed by Juniors and Seniors alike. The officers for our Junior year were Carlton Carlson and Joseph Tenter as President, Sherman Dickman and Richard Danielson as Vice President, Betty Walter and Louise Hills as Secretary and Joseph Teater and Norman Billingsley as Treasurer. At last we grew to be dignified and serious Seniors. After a few weeks of school, we found ourselves called upon to teach a large class of Sophs their respective place and duties in the high school. After the initiating was over, we felt most kindly toward the Sophomores and led them to the gym, where refreshments were served to them. They were allowed to dance until morning. During Christmas vacation we Seniors attended the annual Alumni Banquet, where we were royally treated to a banquet and dance at Canoe Place Inn. A trip to Washington was decided upon, and the cry, “On to Washington” was heard during the rest of the year. One of the outstanding ways of raising money for the trip was the annual Senior Bazaar. Out- efforts were crowned with success. This bazaar, which was held in the high school gym, was preceded by entertainments both nights, in the auditorium. As Seniors we extend our hearty appreciation to the Sophomore class for the benefit party they gave us, and we are loud in our praise of the Juniors for the magnificent Junior Prom which was held in our honor. Class Night, which will be held June 2, will end our social activities for the year. An eminent member of the faculty has said, “There have been some radically different things done in Port High, and the class of ’32 has done them.” And now, we will be graduated and we feel confident that each member of the class of ’32 will go out into the world and make a name for himself. So ends the history of the class of ’32, and though greater classes have been graduated before us and many will be graduated after us, w«, as the class of ’32 can truthfully say we have done our best. “With all your gettings therefore get, An education true. It will be A crown with Jewels set, A power to each of you. “And now as the swift descending sun Proclaims the time is here, Good-by each and everyone Farewell, my Classmates dear.”
