Che Seuinrs The class of 1918 charged bravely forward at the beginning of a four year struggle with that wonderful, awe inspiring monster, Knowledge. The brave little class started out with the following enrollment: President, Joe Schamb erger; Vice President, Ruth Berry; Treasurer, Macey Neece; Secretary, Agnes Falconer, and Harry Spath, Milton Olson, Fay Shaw and Ida Anthony, the fighters. Led by these competent officers, the gallant little company distinguished itself in its first encounter with the cnemy. But through the repeated struggles and difficult charges of these four years, all but one of the adven- turers in the field of knowledge, fell a victim to the allied forces arrayed against them. Harry Spath, the brave fighter, stuck to the struggle and has at last reached his goal. Six of the little band, becoming discouraged by the hard fighting before them and the sacrif ices it demanded, deserted be- fore they had found s firm footing on the path to their goal. One of these has since become a victim of one of the deadly darts of Dan Cupid. Of the two left after this desertion, one, Agnes Falconer, was captured by the allied foes and was eliminated by graduation, for, having secured a suf- ficient number of credits, she graduat- ed with the class of ’17. The one fighter left, started out on the fourth campaign without a murmur of complaint. For five months he wended his lonesome wey beneath that ever darkenirg cloud above him. In February 1918, he made a memor- able charge against that monster Ex- amination and came forth victorious. Suddenly he beheld snother road which joined his own ard issuing there from were three recruits, Pearl Anderson, Helen Callaghan, Francis Marsh, by name. Upon inquiring he found that they were reinforcements, who had started on the weary journey a year later than he, and had, by tak- ing the short cut, or three years strug- gle, finally reached him five months before it was too late. Once more the weary traveler was the member of a small class. The little band joined forces and struggled along congenialiy in the last charge, which occurred May 28-29 in the form of much dreaded examina- tions. The suspense for the outcome of their attack on this moxuster was very great, but Friday morning May 31, the cloud of dread and suspense was lifted ard the rosy light of hope and success shone once more, for the first time in four years. The class had succeeded and reached its goal Friday evening of the thirty-first, when its efforts were crowned by re- wards, the diplomas. The triumphant class realizes and regrets the loss of the sympathy of their teachers who bore with them pa- tiently and encouraged them to stay with the struggle and to win, and al- so the loss of the comradeship of their classmates. However, they hope to be heard from soon in the greater struggle going on out in the world. We will do our bit. —P. A. 718

Che Iuninrs The class of 1919 made its debut in- to the mysteries of High School life in the fall of 1914. The enrollment of the class at that time was: Naomi Smith, now of Astoria, Doris Haley, still with us, Julia Haney, Portland, Ore., Pearl Anderson, graduated this year, Nellie Carle, last seen in Astoria, Mae Hansberry, Astoria, Rupert Anderson, Washington High, Portland, Ore., Clifford Rice, Canadian Army, Joseph Pawson, shipyard, Portland, Wm. Price, still with us, Wm. Olson, present, Forest Larson, Selnes Wheatley, Frank Parker, here. Of the above, we have Wm. Price, Wm. Olson, Frank Parker and Doris Haley left. Elizabeth Honkanen has worked hard and caught up with us. Pearl Anderson is still in school, but got in a hurry and is leaving us be- hind. Wm. Price is a natty little fellow end is the most conspicuous member on account of his gaudy, golden hair. His nickname is Norway. He is fond of the ladies, is a jazz artist, plays a ukalelie in the moonlight and studies? English IV, Physics, Economics, Pen- manship, and sometimes typewrites. Doris Haley is a charming lass of about fifteen, has dark curly hair, lots of beaus, (mostly soldiers,) a wonder- ful voice, and a mysterious ring. We .call her Slim, Slender, Cutie, or Cur- ly Locks, while she studies English IV, Economics, Typewriting and Bookkeeping. Betty Honkanen is the cutest girl in the school, a blond, and plays the pi- ano. We don’t have any nicknames for her, but sweet things, as she only played hookey once in her life, and we feel sorry for her. She studies English II, Geometry II, Latin II, and Penmanship. Frank Parker is also one of the cel- ebrities of the class of 1919. His num- erous vocations while out of school, range from making a noise in the In- dependent Band, to tripping the light fantastic at the new Bungalow dance hall. While in school, his vocations, other than getting his lessons, consist of rooting for Henry George, and tor- menting Pearl Anderson. The lessons he is expected to get are in English IV, Econonomics, Physics and Solid Geometry. Wm. Olson is the most dangerous young man in the school. We call him Abdullah Khan or the Terrible Swede. Khan milks two camels ey- ery night before breakfast, is a favor- ite with the ladies. His dark features and jet black hair go to show the years he spent on the burning sands of the Sahara. He has a poet’s soul, and studies English IV, Econonomics, Solid Geometry, Physics and occasion- ally Typewriting. Our class colors are Orange and Black. Our class yell is “Kill the Kaiser!” Our class song ‘‘We won’t be home until morning.” Our class officers—unelected. ——W. (Py 79.
