Senior Poem Our high school days are over, We seniors will be on our way, With hopes that are strong and hearts that are brave, We must ride with the tide away. Our high school days are over, Days that are gone to stay, With memories of old and dreams once told, We are borne by the tide away. Our high school days are over, Today we're part of life, With thoughts and plans for the future We live in this world of strife. Our high school days are over, We'll see them never again, Tomorrow we enter college, Our farewells to you we send. Our high school days are over, Soon we'll be leaving you all, Farewell to you, the community- You'll see us no more next fall. A. V. R. Class History In the year 1918, a ,group of green looking Freshmen began their hi h school career in the Skykomish High School. For some reason or other we always- succeeded in getting in the way of the upper classmen, soltherefore they named us the Nuisances. We admit we were very green, when we look back upon our first year in high school. ' The Freshman class was composed of eight members: Rose Manning, Edward Maloney, Gerald Smith, Arthur Duke, Myrtle Pascoe, James Blackwell, Raleigh and Reginald Maloney. Rose Manning and Edward Maloney completed their elementary school work in the Skykomish Public Schools, which they entered together in September, 1909. Arthur Duke and Myrtle Pascoe left during their Freshman year to enter high schools in Seattle. We returned the next September as Sophomores. During the sum- mer and the year we had spent at Hi, we had gotten over a few of our childish tricks. We were very thankful to be Sophomores, for the upper classmen sort of forgot about us, and tried their jokes and tricks on the new Freshmen. Our Sophomore year was a complete success, and we left school in June, feeling very happy, for had' not we completed our second year? During our second year we had become more acquainted with the ways of high school life, and the teachers. September of 1920 found us upper classmen at last, My, how big we felt when we entered the school room on that September morning! Alic Halverson joined our class, after a year and a half's absence from school. This fall found us, after three short years, the leaders of the Ten

school. We realized then that we had returned to be shining examples to the undergraduate classes. Velma Austin, of Ballard High School, Seattle, joined our class in our Senior year. Raleigh Maloney left to enter the Mabton High School. Our Senior year has proved a very successful one and a happy one to every member of the class. We have had many activities in our last year. The ofhcers of the class are: President, Edward Maloney, Vice-President, Gerald Smith, Secretary-Treasurer, Velma Austin, Class Adviser, Miss Armstrong. We received our pins in November, and felt very dignified in dis- playing them to our lower classmen. The class is divided into two parts, with one member of the class at Tye, Eleanore McCrossen. Dorothy Green and Dale Howell were the members of the Freshman class at Tye. Since then Eleanore has been the only member in the class. On April 21 the Seniors gave a dinner and invited Eleanore down, so as to become acquainted with her and to make plans for Commence- ment. We all agree that our Senior year has been a success and the hap- piest year we have spent in high. We have had many worries and troubles to combat with, but, we have worked hard and have overcome all of our troubles. We feel that our four years in high school have been a success. We are greatly indebted to Miss Armstrong, our adviser, Miss Merwin, Mr. Timpe and Mr. Budde for the worry we have caused them, and the trouble they have taken in helping us through our difficulties, which we have encountered in our high school career. Commencement will soon be here, and all we lordly Seniors will see our last day as students of the dear old Skykomish Hi. From then on, we will each go his separate way we hope, to make a success of life, meeting, perhaps, many times in the future and always treasuring with us thoughts of the days we spent, in Skykomish High School. VELMA AUSTIN '22. Las! Will and Testament ofthe Class of 1922 We give and bequeath to the Class of 1923 our ambition for literary brilliancy, somewhat battered and worn by the constant erasures and scratches of our English teacher. In the realms of light for which we are bound, let us hope that our new desires will meet with tenderer treatment. Edward Maloney leaves his well-worn dictionary to Florence Man- ning. He also leaves a large stock of alibis, most of them in good condition, to be divided equally among the Class of 1923. Gerald Smith leaves his proficiency at chewing gum to Alice McEvoy. He leaves his many unfinished poems to Marie Langland, who may have time to read them all, if she lives long enough. Velma Austin wills her capacity for hard work to Mary Mossop. To Marie Langland is left Alice Halverson's collection of bleeding hearts. Eleanor McCrossen leaves her varied collection of ink bottles to Juanita Peterson, who will probably throw them at the eighth graders. She also leaves to Juanita the numerous empty desks which she uses. Rose Manning leaves some much used books to those who don't arrive in time to get better ones. ELEANOR MCCROSSEN '22, Eleven
