Now, when the same people were Juniors, they began to take lite more seriously, and tried to make themselves appear very stately and learned. In this notable year the Juniors did give a most magnificent “Prom” for the Seniors. This dance was pronounced a grand success, and everyone did have a lovely time. The same year this class did give a picnic in honor of the Seniors. It was said that everyone did have a lively and enjoyable time, and all were fed most fully with much good “eats.” Now, in the fourth year the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-three has been one of much hard work, for preparations have been made for its departure from the country. And during this year a damsel came around taking orders for jewelry, and tin members of the class invested their riches in a ring, which they did think most beautiful. And during this last year, they did give a play called, “Come Out of the Kitchen,” which verily the public did re¬ ceive as a complete success. It was said that in this Senior class there is much talent. Now, it came to pass that many of those who entered this land did depart very soon, and some few did enter into their midst, so that the whole number at the end of the fourth year was nine and ten, which were these: Agnes, of the House ot Anderson; AYinnifred, of the House of Nimmo; Katie, of the House of Coffey; Anna, of the House of Nordstrom; Golda, of the House of Grafton; Christine, of the House of Lundgren; Kathrvn, of the House of Iloag; Margaret, of the House ot Ty- berg; Agnes, of the House of Kondraski; Margaret, of the House of Cartwright; Lois, of the House of Stevens; Hd ot the House of Blake; Leonard, of the House of Hutchinson; Jim of the House of Lester; Francis, of the House ot HeAAelt; Al¬ bert, of tin House of 1 )e Velt ; Robert, of the House ot asclier; Marguerite, of the House of Beckman, and Margaret, ot t ie House of Taitt. . , , Four years hath the class of nineteen hundred and Hun- tv-three sojourned in the ln.nl and gathered the frmts from U,,. tree of knowledge. Now 1 say unto you, they dopai hence to go each a separate way to lands that we know not where, to do we know not what. But, it s written, how ... no 1, hotter it is to get wisdom than gold, and how much hot e, s . .'standing to he chosen than silver and now y t e blessings that ever attend the noble and good test and with us each and all.

ijiatury of thr (Bass of 1U23 N the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and nineteen, there entered Seaside Union High school, a freshman class of two and ten seekers of knowledge. Many of them came from the eighth grade, where they had received a foundation for further education; some were fresh and green from a far country, and some were from others Halls of Learning. These seekers after knowledge were led into this country by a woman of great skill and learning, Mrs. Frances Yoder, who had been their teacher in an adjoining country. This group of seekers who were so hungry for education were: Daisy, of tin House of Simon; Katie, of the House of Coffey; AVi nn if red, of the House of Nimmo; Agnes, of the House of Thompson; Maxine, of the House of Olson; Eunice, of the House of Keeler; Lois, of the House of Stevens; Alice, of the House of Little; Embe, of t lie House of Hendrickson; Jim, of the House of Lester; Lyle, of the House of McCauley, and Les¬ ter, of the House of Olsen. This group of two and ten did enter together, and it came to pass that they entered midst much excitement and rejoic¬ ing. It did come to pass, their rival class, a certain band of wild and lawless things called Sophomores, did torment and tantalize them with much joy, saying, “AVe have trod the path before you, and have been likewise tormented, so we cling to the custom set by those who have gone before us into the Halls of Higher Learning.” But as these Freshmen dwelt long in that land, they fell into the custom of the inhabitants, and were exceedingly glad. Now, it came to pass that soon after they entered this land, they were seized with a terrible malady called “Eng¬ lish.” Many of the victims thereof fell by the wayside at the season of “exams,” and had to be recorded as having “flunked,” but others of the class were successful and they were rewarded by good marks. During the year, many were dropped by the wayside, and perished; others removed to far countries. Now, when these people reached the distinction of being Sophomores, they in turn, did make life for the Freshmen mis¬ erable. They gave a party for the Freshmen, and after tliev had their victims safely in the gymnasium, they did make them into the most ridiculous manner, and did laugh at them most unmercifully.
