THE SENIORS ONE bright morning in September, 1926, a group of shining faced boys issued forth from the dinky” at Boston Street, then the end of the ''dinky’s” line. Shining faces to be sure, but dull eyes; eyes without hope, for the prospects were anything but hopeful as an upper classman described the fistic endeavors of one of the Misters.” The group included several of the present members of the class of ’30 and as they plodded their weary way to the halls of higher learning they wondered exceedingly. But their fears were soon forgotten in the hub-bub and confusion of registration day. It was over quickly and the rest of the day was their own. The second day saw everyone hard at work. The class was split during its first year. First A” being governed by Mr. John E. Moffatt, S. J., while First B” waxed strong under the careful guidance of Mr. Edward J. Coen. Though the class still remained divided in its sophomore year, there was a change. The A” class became Second B” and the B” class took the title of Second A.” Respectively these were tutored by Mr. William Ryan, S. J., and Mr. Gerard B. Fahy, S. J. This was the age of transition. Everyone was accustoming himself to the ins and outs of the school and the idiosyncrasies of the teachers. Already, though, the school had found a valuable element. First A” vied with Fourth high for honors in the ad contest for the Echo and in its second year the class X Vs' V Twenty-Nine

 yr as a whole brought new laurels upon itself by participation in the Passion Play, Golgotha. The class of ’30 showed a lot of school spirit even then. The third year, Juniors; getting up in the world, and Mr. Fahy, S. J., took the whole class under his wing. During the past three years considerable change had taken place. Some had changed schools, others had dropped entirely, and new faces came in ever increasing numbers. Nevertheless it was a united class in activities. The Mantell Club claimed quite a few members of the Junior class; other activities along the same line attracted numerous fellows, but sports were the principle issue at stake for third high men. Football, basketball, baseball; they all claimed their share. It was a full and spirited year topped off by second place in the ad campaign for the Echo. The class had certainly fulfilled any rumors sent abroad that the class was a good one. Then, the ultimate in high school—Seniors. What a feeling, what a wonderful feeling to think that in the short span of nine months all would be present to receive their honors and perhaps start in life or continue to some higher ideal. The year passed all too quickly for most of the bunch. First semester exams were past before anyone knew it. Then the chapel fund, the stations, the pews; all leading up to an honorary exitus from high school. The Echo, the product of fourth high, though due mostly to the ads gotten by the rest of the school, was ready for print the fifth of May and came out on the twenty-fifth. In it were portrayed the efforts and accomplishments of the class of ’30. It was a class hard to beat in nearly everything. But it has to thank its untiring teachers for the excellent showing made during the four years it has been a class at Seattle College High School. The class contributed the material but the instructors brought it out. Thus it was that the class of 1930 came through its fourth year aided by the inimitable Father Louis Egan, S. J. Classmates, we have something to live up to. It was said when we came to the College that we were a class worth a great deal. So far they tell us that we have proven this to a pretty fair degree. Then we must live up to the standard we have set. It is our business to succeed as best we can; to put to practice the qualities we have learned while in high school; to put Seattle College on the map. We can do it, fellows. We’ve got to do it, for the sake of our parents who sent us here and our teachers who have tried their best. In this way we say good-bye. Thirty
