fJ1'c1f1f1cPc'.v N ONTACT! With a roar the giant plane P. H. S. swung out of its hangar and swowly acsencled into the sky on its trip around the world. james Gilson is the publicity agent and general handy man for the members of the flight. He precedes the party and organizes dates for the male members. Dorothy Reynolds is with him as his loyal secretary. After being Mr. Logan's left-hand man, Frank Parks was unanimously chosen by the members of the flight to act as their right hand man in the form of business manager. As the plane flies over differ- ent parts of the globe, we find many strange happenings. Ella Mae Gabrielson is showing them how-she's a model. Oh! that military air. fno air, not heir, . We find that Frances Tourtlotte has gone in for interior decorating in a big way-she's a surgeon. XVell, times have certainly changed. Here we see Marian Pohlman coaching the football team at Notre Dame, and a winning team, at that. Lois Jones has fulfilled her long-life ambition. She is now Greta Garbo's only competition for the cinema's most mysterious woman. Remembering her dramatic ability in high school, it is not strange that we find Mary Heimsoth,s name in bold, bright lights in Radio City. She,s the girl of the many voices that we hear every Friday night. Bob Stevenson, Dale Stevenson, and Stanley Stevenson-are you surprized?-are now bartenders in a Honky-tonk in Red Butte, Nevada.

Nlaude Thomas, Reva Shaw, and Ethel Russel have hit the road from Puyallup to Seattle, as a travelling troupe-piano, banjo, and piccolo. Kathryn Skreen has embarked upon a career which gives her Public Speaking and De- bate experience ample leeway. She is married. Chester Palmer, whom we expected to be one of the greatest satirists in the newspaper world, now blurbs,' for the Meeker Junction Blatterf, Sonnie Lipoma, continuing his athletic career from high school years, is now supervis- ing setting-up exercises for the ladies of the G. A. R. Home. Leah Jones has at last undertaken something that is really serious-she is in Honolulu keeping the hula-hula dance alive. Margaret Stewart is, as of yore, Mr. Matthcw's right-hand woman. It is rumored that she has great weight with him. George Stuermer and Arthur Jones are now giving the girls a treat in the last tax-free amusement. They are both doormen at the Oompa Theatre. Foremost among their admirers is Lorna Welcker. However, Beth Winslow is showing her some stiff competition for the lace. P Virginia O'Brien has at last put to good use that tempermental temperament. She has gone in for opera singing, and does her manager suffer! Violet Collier pilots a plane between Paris and New York regularly. I like to be in the swimf' giggles Vi as she swims the last two miles after her plane falls. Vena Grayum has certainly not failed us.

tQC?l71.0I' Qxfzzss lllsfol'-V N the distance we see two members of the famous class of ,34 walking by our dear P. H. S. They pause and gaze profoundly at the school which brings back so many interesting and dear memories to them. Then with a sigh, the first begins to speak to the other who like- wise sighs deeply. Yes, I believe I shall never forget those hrst trying days of our high school career when we were just freshies. Now that I look back, I can see that we were rather green at the time, but so were all other Freshmen. However, with our able classmate, Gerald Morris, to lead us, we showed everyone that we had the true Viking spirit. One of the most memorable events of the year was the frosh party. Do you remember all the excitement of the carnival with its side shows of fat ladies and strongmen? That was a party! Speaks the second member, But do you remember the next year how we continued to gain prominence with Kenneth Macfnnes at our head? As sophomores, we surely were the peppiest class in school. 'tWe gave a splendid sophomore party on March 4. Since it was leap year, the girls honored the boys by taking them to the gala affair. it was a very unique and unusual party at which everyone thoroughly enjoyed himself. Again the first member talks as he recalls more memories of those wonderful days. In our junior year the class of '34 kept right on making history. We Won honors in declamation through the ability of Mary Heimsoth and Kenneth Brown, Kenneth won first place in oratory in Pierce County, and Mary took third place in the humorous phase.', The Junior Prom we staged was something to talk about and to remember. We honored the seniors by inviting them to attend our grand Prom. For this affair, we used the japanese Motive so effectively that the Elks Temple was transformed into a land of beautiful cherry blossomsf' So with Bob Stevenson as our president and Miss Williams and Mr. Scott as our class advisers, we had a very successful junior year.', The first member now speaks again, Last but not least, in our senior year we completed our high school career in a very effective wayf' i'Do you remember we elected David Daniels to lead us through our final and most successful year in P. H. S.? As a good start for this year, we won the annual season ticket drivef, Our class also boasted of some exceedingly fine athletes, too, and most of the men on the football team were seniors. In the class basketball game we lost a good game to the juniors who had the advantage of better material? Perhaps one of our most outstanding achievements was that of scholarship. Why, our class had more seniors on the honor roll than any other class in the history of the school. Since excellent scholarship is the primary reason for going to school, we have a right to feel especially proud of our record. 'QThis year again the seniors placed very well in the class declamation by winning two places in the final contest. Kenneth Brown won first in oratory, and Mary Heimsoth took first place in the humorous phase. incidentally we might add that Mary also brought back the first place banner from the county contestf' On account of the depression, we had a difficult time in getting funds for our annual. Through the financial aid so generously given us by our principal, Mr. Hansen, and with the cooperation of the entire class in true Viking spirit, we published this year book. We are also indebted to Miss Skreen and Mr. Logan, our class advisors, for their help. i'But I can't forget the Senior Minstrel-and who could? We witnessed the best min- strel ever given in the history of the school. What, with those hilarious end men Dick Graves, Marshall Allen, Harry Harding, john Drew, jerry Morris, and Earl Eckert, and interlocuter Kenneth Macfnnes, how could it help being the best?,' One of the most interesting and unique features of the lvlinstrel was the Nonnette, a group of girls who gave 'In old fashioned garden., H So having reviewed the events of this famous class of '34, the two members still thinking of their high school days walked on. We're here, pep galore, l-9-3-4? txrmxiy-f'igbt
