Senior Class History omcsns FOR 1927-1928 Pl'0SidCl1! ------- Carroll Geiger Vice President ------ Myrtle Faulkner Secretary-Treasurer - Margaret Scholtz, Dorothy Sprouse Advisors ---- Mrs. McDonnell, Mr. Brooks UE to the fact that the Class of 1928 has a great and powerful spirit of co- operation, everything that has been undertaken by it has been put over with success. With timid looks and trembling knees this group of crusaders began their four year journey through high school in the fall of 1924. With their coming, a new era was ushered into the old high school, for under their verdant exteriors were hidden the makings of the high and mighty Seniors! The fact that they were not ordinary Freshmen immediately became apparent, although the lordly Seniors did their worst to haze them into submission. The unheard-of-novelty of having Freshmen on the school athletic teams, and as leads in the operetta and in debate and declamation, was introduced by this class. And so this band of crusaders hopefully left the domain of algebraic equations to don the dignity of full fledged Sophomoresg but lo, the realms of the Pythagor- ean theorem lay before them. However, having braved the worst pangs of algebra, they found time to uphold and extend their school and class activities, even while exploring the mysteries of geometry. Their athletes were equal to any in the school and it was this year that the dramatic ability of the class was first recognized, two members having earned places in county declamation, while three were members of the High School Debate Team. They rounded out their accomplishments, made as under-classmen, by giving a Sophomore Party. They were upper classmen at last, and, with only the Seniors to look up to, their brilliancy became more outstanding. These Juniors will be remembered as the first class to have presented a Junior Play. Adam and Eva was a laudable success. The Prom also was successful. All the school declaimers were Juniors and all but one of the', six debaters were of this class. Four of the eight leads in the opera were taken by class members. On the athletic field the juniors helped make a Championship Football Team. Likewise, the Junior Girls aided in winning Track and Basketball Championships. The Senior Ball, beautiful with Christmas greens and tinsel, was a social suc- cess. Again, this class was represented in football, basketball, track, and tennis. In declamation, two Seniors earned places, while the interscholastic debate team was composed entirely of Seniors. The crowning accomplishments of their high school career were their Sneak Day, Camping Trip, and Commencement, where Seniors reigned supreme. Iola Royer, valedictorian, and Loyal Davis, salutatorian, carried off scholastic honors for the class, while Myrtle Faulkner received honorable mention. In looking back over the four years of accomplishments the class of '28 re- grets having to leave the dear old Alma Mater. Although the 52 prodigies of '28 must now leave the school where they have spent four happy years, they venture forth into life, to assail and attain. Tu-enty lllI IlllllllllllllllllllilllilllllllllllilliiiillllllllliiiflfllllIIlIi1lilE2l!?lliiillill!!llllllllllliiiillillllllll NE bright day in May, in the year of nineteen hundred and twenty-eight, the Sumner High School suffered a loss such as has never been known since the time of its birth. Woe unto the remaining classes when the Class of '28 passes. After violent discussions with the lower classes as to how they could possibly get along in '29, the Class of '28 decided to bequeath certain personal traits to the under-classmen, in order that S. H. S. might exist in future years To the juniors, we cheerfully bequeath our seats in the study hall, and all the beautiful carving and handiwork thereon. To the Sophomores, our pity that they did not get to come in contact with us for more than two years and the joy that was therefore missed. To the Freshmen, all our dignity and pull with the teachers which will someday, perhaps, be yours. I To Mrs. MacDonnell, sincere hope that all her life will be as joyful as those days that she spent taking care of us. To Miss Matheson, a Tyee staff that will get all the news. To Mr. Brooks, a class which will appreciate his ability as a class advisor. To Miss Poole, another play cast to coach that will be bribed by ice cream. To Miss Hanson, our wishes that Spanish II class will survive after the Seniors, who have been there for four years, have passed out. To Mr. Faulkner, a student body who will burn the midnight oil. To Miss Schlauch, a perfectly dressed Girls' Club. To his dear brother Jack, Carroll dedicates all his love for Peggy. To Letcher Roach, Iola Royer's scholastic ability. To Phyliss Andrews, Sylvia Thurston's slender form. To Wilhelm Williams, Toddy's athletic ability. To Louie Heidinger, Jim Chandler' s common sense. To Ethel Storey, Louise's giggles-and Jimmy. To Wayne Cole, Preston's thrift. To jim Spencer, Bill Kelly's way with the women. To Russel Frank, Virg's slender and athletic form. To Jayne Goodman, Blanche's long and beautiful tresses. To Freddie Weber, Sid's ability to rave and talk and use big words. To Marjorie Kilborn, Betty I-Iaase's quiet ways. To Fred Gratzer, Gus's Irish family tree. To Jim Pennington, Willie Over's running stride. To Vivian McKee, Dorothy Sprouse's way with big men. Last, but not least, we leave all things which we have no further use for, to the Seniors of next year, that they may use them and cherish to the best of their ability, remembering that they once belonged to us, and, therefore, are sacred. Having therefore, set down our last will and testament, we hereby set our hand and seal, this twenty-fourth day of May in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-eight. THE CLASS OF '28.

Class Prophecy ACT 1 ' Scene 1: A Saturday afternoon in May 1938 in the White Elephant Tea Room, owned by Mina Stone and Magda Sivertson. Vera Wella, girls' coach, and Blanche Poolman, school nurse, both of Sumner Union High School, enter. While they are talking over old times, Leonard Olson, the ice man, drops in on business. Following him is Ansel Gilbertson, who at- tempts to interest the fair proprietors in the latest in Real Silk Hosiery. Enter two Salvation Army workers, Lois Dart and Tom Thomas. Lois: How do you do folks, won't you give a little helping hand to those unfortunates who are in need? A few years ago, I, too, was young and gay. But one day I heard the call and threw away my beaus, my rouge, my lipstick, etc. When Lois had finished fifteen minutes later, Tom began his sermon. The door opens and Carroll Geiger, prominent haberdasher, seats himself. In a few minutes he is joined by Bill Kelly, candy salesman. Some time later when the good old high school days had been thoroughly discussed, some one suggests turning on the new radio, guaranteed to get stations from the North to the South Pole, in 57 different languages. Scene 2: Radio station KWCT U, Clarence Grimes announcing. First on the program will be a vocal solo in Italian, by John Forehand, vir- tuoso of the Metropolitan Opera Company. Next we are pleased to present Benito Asprin, who has a good-will message from Gov. Baldamera Blanco of the Philippines. Station KWCT U, Grimes announcing. I shall now turn the microphone over to Nicanor Lota, who will introduce our next speakers, Servando Madarang, sugar plantation owner, and Rufo Cabute, Supt. of the Manila Public Schools. I shall now connect you with the National Broadcasting Company at New York, over which Louise Smith of the Chicago Civic Opera Company will present piano numbers, and Sylvia Thurston, noted historian, will give an address on, How World Peace Has Been Accomplished. Scene 3: The White Elephant Tea Room again, following the radio program: Mina: Have you heard about Preston Hovey and Faith Elm? Blanche: You don't mean they're going with each other? Mina, interrupting: No, no, but haven't you heard? Faith has bought a plane and expects to fly across the Pacific. She has hired Pret as her pilot! And here comes Ruth Vittetoe, who is managing that smart little millinery shop across the street! ACT II Scene 1: Wedding Scene. The groom, young and debonair youth, Glen Todd. The bride, Crystal Huson. Reverend Ralph Wright is the minister who pronounces them man and wife. Betty Haase, who owns an exclusive women's apparel shop, and Helen Swezey, famous dietician, are the bridesmaids. Sidney Staples, United States senator, serves as best man. Among the guests are Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Smithf nee Dorothy Sprousel. Mr. Smith has made a million raising bulbs and is known as the Daffodil King. Mrs. Smith, one of the leading clubwomen of the valley, is president of the Civic Club, the Ladies' Aid, the North End Club, The Parent-Teachers' Association etc. Twenty-two I Illll IlllNlllIIllllllllllliilfillIIIIlllllillliEilIl!l1!'!IliiEi!!!!!lIIllIilliiiiill'4liiiiIiiillI!!!lll!!!IlllIiEiilEiiilllllllllllll l Melvin Goheen, head football coach of the University of Washington, is also a guest at the wedding, as is Mary Somerville, commercial teacher in the high school. After the bride and groom have slipped away, conversation turns to the most sensational news item of the day-the courthouse trial between Freda Roesli and Willis Over. ACT III Scene 1: Court Room of the Pierce County Court House. Judge James Chandler is presiding at the trial of the Swiss Consulate vs. the National Broadcasting Company. Freda, the fighting Swiss, is suing Willis Over, president of the radio concern, for broadcasting too many jokes about the Swiss Navy. The next case to be tried is a breach of promise suit. Miss Iola Royer, private secretary for Bob Swannack fthe millionaire, who rose from paper boy to oil kingj, is suing Tom Hendricks. Mr. Hendricks states that he has never kept company with Miss Royer. Mr. Swannack, however, claims that Tom came into the office so often that he had to kick him out. Leonard Fonda, prominent detective, introduces evidence that he has been gathering for Iola. Seated in one corner of the room is Red Moore, showing off his Irish in a police uniform. Another red-headed gentleman, Dayton Gustafson, the jailer, is near-by, with an official-looking ring of keys. Tony Zehnder, now a cub reporter, is covering the court news in the interest of the press, as is Valentin Panganiban. During a lull in the excitement of the trial, Dorothy Jungck, who has been managing a bungalow court apartment, is heard to remark, I had the biggest surprise yesterday! You have probably read Cynthia Grey's column in the papers. Well, I went up to see her today, and who do you think she is-Myrtle Faulkner. ACT IV Scene 1: Cluttered-up newspaper office of the Sumner Star, several type- writers are being pounded lustily. It is the office of Cynthia Grey, sob sister and Miss Fixit for newspaperdom. Myrtle: Lillian, send a letter to Loyal Hiram Davis, Puyallup, telling him that the course of true love never runs smooth-not to be discouraged even though Vivian McKee doesn't admire his ardent poetry. Suggest that he serenade her with a guitar. That should help. Lillian Homer, Myrtle's faithful stenographer, admits a visitor, Dorothea Thomas, who wants advice on how to keep her husband home at nights. Winifred Parker, the next visitor, confesses she is worried about her room-mate, Elsie Scholz, who is accepting dates from three men. Who will be the lucky man? Next comes Ed Andrews, who would like advice on how to keep his wife at home. Michel Pasquier, who is selling correspondence courses in French, also has hit the rocks with his matrimonial ship. He expects to sue his wife, Margaret Scholz, for non-support. The door flies open and in breezes Loyal Davis: It worked, it worked! Myrtle, startled: What worked? Who are you anyway, a lunatic at large? Loyal: Your advice was wonderful! She said 'yes'!

The points are as follows: honor, attitude, scholarship, achieve- ment, obedience, effort, regard for others, and generosity. The origin of this memorial is a well known story to all Sumner High School students. Mr. Layhue was a former superintendent of the Sumner Schools and died while in office. He was so well beloved by all that Mr. Case, a former Sumner citizen, decided to donate a cup to perpetuate his memory. On this cup was engraved the names of those chosen from year to year, as an annual reminder of the qualities of character for which Mr. Layhue stood. This year the names of Freda Roesli and james Chandler have been engraved upon the Layhue Cup. By her faithfulness and regard for others, Freda has won many friends. She is Girls' Club president, a two year letterman in debate, and has played three years on the Girls' Basket ball team. This year she is on the staffs of Tyee Wah Wa and The Spartan. James Chandler has been a worthy Spartan and has been active as president of the Student Body, a three year debate letterman, and as editor last semester of Tyee Wah Wa. He has taken part three years in declamation and is on the staff of The Spartan. These are but a few of the various activities in which he has participated. In former years this honor has been won by the following students: Gerald Hart, '20, Alpha Beaughan, '21, Lyle Goss, '22, Jean lVIacLachlan, '23, Dean Taylor, '24, Kenneth Vittetoe, '25, Don Darrow, '26, Mamie Baker and Harry Kuhn, '27, Freda Roesli and james Chandler, '28. Last year it was learned that the donor wished both a boy and a girl to be chosen, so from then on both were chosen.

Sumner School is not especially individual for her awards in athletics, scholarship, and oratorical ability, but she is outstanding for her awards in personality. Every year the Student Body chooses one girl and one boy from the Senior Class as possessing to the greatest degree those likeable qualities which make for a charming personality. The word, personality, is hard to explain and few of us could give adequate definition. However, we are conscious of those possessing such qualities. Perhaps it is the extra hand-shake, or the ever ready smile, or a clap on the shoulder which makes them our friend. Whatever it is, we know that after all, it is the little things that go toward making life worth while. This year Dorothy Sprouse and John Forehand were chosen to receive the Personality Award, although votes were cast for others as well. Dorothy Sprouse has taken an active part in high school activities. She took the lead in this year's operetta, Lelawala, represented the Spartans in the dramatic section of the Declamation Contest, was Girls' Basket Ball Manager, Editor of Tyee Wah Wa, this last semester, was Debate Manager, and a member of the Senior Play cast, besides an honor student. John Forehand is a prominent Spartan, being Business Manager of both the Tyee Wah Wa and the Annual. He is a three-year Debate letterman, and made the first team in Football this last year. He has also taken a prominent part in musical activities being a member of the Boys' Octette, in the Operetta Cast three years, and a member of the Glee Club. He has also taken part in both Junior and Senior plays. In former years this award has gone to the following: Lorena Huson and Spencer Purvis, '27, Joan Bailey and Harold Davis, '26, Dwight Taylor and Lucile Pyles, '25.

A great number of Juniors took part in activities of various sorts. They are as follows: Roger Edwards, Fred Gratzer, Lee Benton, Clyde Ward, Russell Frank, Harold Morgan, and James Spencer achieved honor in football. At the annual football banquet, Fred Gratzer was elected football captain for the next year. Jack Geiger and Clyde Ward are of basketball fame, while Marion Purvis and Phyllis Giefer played on the girls basketball team that narrowly missed the county championship. Vanessa Myers and Rex Weick had principal parts in the operetta Lelawala, while a great many other Juniors were in the chorus. Peggy Orton and Jayne Goodman took part in the tennis tournament. In the boys' band were Charles Clark, Paul McKenny, Julius Grimes, and Irvin Fowler, and in the saxophone band were Martha Somerville, Julius Grimes and Charles Clark. Marion Purvis represented Sumner in humorous declamation, taking second place in this event. Peggy Orton served as secretary of the Associated Student Body. Marion Purvis was secretary of the Girls' Club, while Genevieve Homer represented the class on the cabinet. Gladys Livesley was historian. The Class of ,29 sponsored the annual basketball dinner, which proved an en- joyable affair. Vernita Bounds was chairman of the decoration committee and Martha Somerville chairman of the dinner committee. The largest class project of the year was the Junior Prom, given April 13 in Spencer's Hall, under the guidance of Margaret Orton, general chairman. Fred Gratzer was chairman of the general committee, Vernita Bounds of the invitation committee, Ethel Storey, decorations chairman and Vanessa Myers, chairman of the refreshment committee. Featuring a Springtime motif, the committee used wisteria and fresh cherry blossoms to hide the ceiling. Twisted crepe paper and lattice-work entwined with flowers almost covered the walls. As the Juniors made a fair profit on the dance, the affair was a financial, as well as a social, success. Four Juniors cried their hands in high school journalism, working on Tyee Wah Wa. Jayne Goodman and Margaret Orton were advertising assistants the first semester, and Orville Danforth and Doris Williams were reporters. Margaret Orton was news editor, Jayne Goodman, circulation manager, and Orville Danforth, a reporter, the second semester. As associate editor of The Spartan, Margaret Orton managed the subscription campaign. Jayne Goodman had charge of the section on musical activities, while Irvin Fowler and Fred Weber were the assistant advertising managers. Judging from the achievements of the past year, the Class of '29 should prove an excellent Senior Class next year.

These boys received awards: Don Sperling, Clayton Knoblauch, Russel Smith, Jim Schrengost, Louis Kuhn, David Cassidy, Kenneth Nelson, and Jim Pautske. Max Rogel was Football Manager. Several of these same boys took an active part in basketball. They were: Don Sperling, Clayton Knoblauch, Max Rogel and Kenneth Nelson. In track: Clinton Corliss. Mary Livesly has represented her class in both girls' basketball and track. In the operetta Lelawala, Lawrence Backs, Clinton Corliss, Velma McQueen, and Louis Kuhn, had principal roles.

Lawrence Backs and Clinton Corliss are members of the Boys' Octette. Velma McQueen was class representative on the Girls' Club Cabinet. In order that a greater interest would be aroused in debate among students in this high school, the Sophomore English Classes have held two interclass debates. These debates were held at the regular meeting of the Sophomore Class. Two Literary Programs were given by the Sophomores, this year. A play en- titled Taking the Census, was the main feature of the first program. While another play Pearls was presented on the second program. Besides the two plays there were both instrumental and vocal numbers. The Freshman initiation sponsored by the Sophomores was very peppy and it is said that the Freshmen enjoyed it immensely.

Now, this class feels that one of the greatest aims has been accomplished, that of making Ol' Sumner High the better for its having been there. Near the first of the school term the class was royally entertained at the annual Freshman Initiation, which was sponsored by the Sophomores. This party put an end to the fears of the trembling youngsters. The two Literary Programs' given by the Freshman Class were different and well presented. The first program was in the form of a radio broadcast and cleverly arranged. A Bed of Roses, a play, was the main feature of the second Literary Program. Besides the play, musical numbers completed this program. This class has been prominent in athletics, having players on both the first and second teams in football and basketball. In football, Wayne Cole, Max McKenzie, and Robert Parks received letters. In basketball, Jack Rogel and Wayne Cole. Those taking an active part in track were: Jack Rogel, Max McKenzie and Stewart Schatz. ' The Freshman Girls, too, were active in athletics. Those who turned out faith- fully and who did not earn their letter were: Marjorie Kilborn, Celina Clerget and Alice Jansen. Violet Delaney received a letter. In Girls' Track, these girls took part: Katherine Gaynor, Doris Sprouse, Violet Delaney and Esther Geiger. The lead and one other principal role in Lelawala, the operetta, were taken by Marjorie Goss and Maud Haase, respectively. Marjorie Kilborn was the class representative on the Girls' Club Cabinet. Harry johnson served as yell duke, the second semester. In January thirty-seven boys and girls entered as incoming Freshmen, and added in number and intelligence to the Freshman Class of 1931.

Student Body activities exclude all those of the Glee Clubs, Music Department and classes, although these last demand the cooperative work of the Student Association. The Spartans, hard hit by graduation, did not produce the championship eleven of last year, but from the green material turned out a very good gridiron squad. A new plan was developed in connection with this year's football season as a result of the excellent financial success. A second team league was organized in Pierce County in which the Spartans came out on top. This league provides excellent training for football prospects and gives more of the boys a chance to learn the fundamentals of the game. The basketball season proved to be the best financial success in a number of years. The Spartans, here again hit hard by graduation, built a quintet from green material that missed by two points a chance at the State Tournament at the University of Washington. In debate, the Spartans made an excellent showing, coming second in the county. Failure to secure the pennant was due to the loss of one argument.

Among these are the Literary Programs presented by individual classes before the entire school. Since each class was required but one presentation a semester, the programs were especially good this year. The Pep Assemblies and Rallies before athletic events also were successful, the rally before the Sumner-Puyallup grid game being unusually peppy, and well executed. Excluding the annual and the school paper, the Student Body has handled fifteen hundred dollars through its financial organization this past year. Starting the season with no debts, and with only a few cents in the bank, the Student Body, by carefully planning and executing a budget, has completed the year with over a hundred dollars. This balance should help buy the new football equipment that will be necessary next year. u Relative to the awarding of letters and stripes to members of athletic teams, managers, and yell leaders, the committee drafted an amendment to the constitution. After being passed by the students, the new plan was put into effect and, so far, has seemed to meet the situation more adequately and fairly than the previous ruling. The entire work of the organization is student controlled and operated, the Student Body handling by vote and by elected officers, all the activities of the year.

The 1928 Spartan Staff is worthy of praise because it has willingly devoted effort and time to the publication. Photographer, engraver, and printer have each worked closely with the staff and advisor to insure a well edited book. The Spartan takes this opportunity to express itis appreciation to Mr. L. Brown of the Tacoma Engraving Co., the Sumner Standard, the Johnson-Cox Co., and our advertisers who have been so generous in their support of our year-book. To Miss Margaret Matheson, our faculty advisor, we wish to express our gratitude for her ceaseless efforts to produce a better annual. The willingness of staff members to undertake details of editing, other than those in their assigned section, has helped produce a finished product. Freda Roesli wrote up the Senior Section and Classes, assisted by Antone Zehnder and Dorothy Sprouse. Activities were edited by James Chandler with able assistance from Dorothy Sprouse, and Jayne Goodman who wrote up the musical activities. Louise Smith supervised the work in Organizations. Willis Over was Sport Editor, assistant being Carroll Geiger. Girls' athletics were handled by Vera Weller.

James Chandler also helped. Mary Somerville, bookkeeper, was very efficient in her work of accounting for all cuts and the circulation list. Betty Haase also assisted in doing typing. The planning of the annual, the art motif, the number of pages, size and all details of the book was the work of the editor, Myrtle Faulkner, and advisor, Miss Matheson, the associate editor, Margaret Orton, helping. It was decided that a Greek Motif would be carried out, since the title of the book was The Spartan. The running head was of that design and was carried through to even the Roman Lettering as used by the ancient Greeks. The colored ship frontis piece was of Roman motif carried out in the school colors of purple and gold, as was the cover coloring. Credit is due Miss Miche Iida, a Sumner High School student, who drew the frontis piece. Antone Zehnder was art editor and also helped in drawings. One innovation in this year's annual was the lengthwise Senior panels with each individual picture cut in a Spartan shield design. The cloister body type also gives a literary tone to the printing. The ideal of the staff has been to publish an annual that would be an adequate history of the aims and accomplishments of all student activities and produce a literary magazine of which Sumner High School would be proud.

Among the foremost of these is that of training two persons in editorial work rather than one, as previously done, by choosing a differ- ent editor for each semester of work. This same policy has somewhat applied to the staff as well, in that those working with the editorial staff for one semester have been placed on the business staff the second semester and vice versa. In this manner a student has the chance offered him to determine in just what line of newspaper work he will fit best and what line he most enjoys. In previous years no experience of this kind has offered such a variety of training. A new system of staff arrangement has also been employed. Previous to this year the editor and associate editor were responsible for practically the entire work of putting the news sheet on the press. Arrangements such as appointing certain ones to the writing of editorials, certain ones to the reading of proof, certain ones to the making up of the sheet, certain ones to various other particular work rather than general work has made the journalism class much more beneficial than ever before.

The second semester the staff decided to edit regularly the larger six column paper, changing to a larger sized type. In the way of the paper itself, the class has adopted a new head schedule which permits more efficient and singular writing and arranging of heads. Be- sides these features mentioned, many others have been initiated such as new plans of business management and advertising, new advertising rates, and various other things. It also furnishes the school with a review of all school affairs, business contests, social events, and every possible type of school news. Cooperation of the paper with the Student Body is necessary for the best worlc and it is hoped that such team work will continue in the future.

While the Spartan quartet did not succeed in winning the champion- ship, it gained the reputation of being a fine team. Resolved: That the president and vice-president of the United States should be elected for a single term of six years, was the question debated. It proved to be a difficult one, especially for those taking the affirmative side because their arguments had to be based on theory rather than fact. Heading the schedule was the debate with Gig Harbor, in which Myrtle Faulkner, james Chandler and Freda Roesli upheld the negative side and received the judges' decision. Then came the Buckley debate at Sumner, when james Chandler, John Forehand and Freda Roesli upheld the affirmative and added another victory for the Spartan.s The third victory came when Myrtle Faulkner, James Chandler and john Forehand, negatives, contested against Roy. Terminating the season was the Puyallup-Sumner debate, in the Sumner School auditorium, in which Freda Roesli, John Forehand and James Chandler, affirmative speakers, orated against the Viking negative. Losing this debate lost the championship for Sumner, but the debate was in every way an interesting and satisfactory one. The season ended with Eatonville as Pierce County champions, having lost no debates, and Sumner and Gig Harbor tying for second.

Dorothy Sprouse, dramatic speaker, Marion Purvis, humorous speaker, and James Chandler, oratorical, constituted the team that represented Sumner High School in the contests, April 13. Buckley, Sumner and Kapowsin were the hosts of the respective representatives, the humorous section being held at Sumner, oratory at Buckley and dramatic at Kapowsin. Marion's selection was A Chapter In Revelations, very ably given. It was a story concerning the trials of the district school teacher, when visited by a trustee who inquired as to the spiritual knowledge of the pupils. When asked about certain stories of the Bible, they each had a different story to tell. The selection took a second place for Sumner, Puyallup receiving the first rank. The I-lighwaymanf, given by Dorothy Sprouse, was well presented. The selection is well known, and considered one of the most difficult dramatic readings of modern poetry. James Chandler gave The Wandering jew. Fine delivery and good appeal were the features of the selection. While he did not receive a first, he ran a close second. Buckley received first. The outcome of the county contests was Puyallup, first, with two firsts and one fourthg Buckley, second, with one first, one second and one third, Sumner, third, with two second places.

The play dealt with the trials and tribulations of Mrs. Stanley in raising her twins, Bob and Lucy, after the death of her husband, Reverend Stanley. At an opportune time, Mr. Sanborn, her father, arrives and presents her with 520,000 to put the twins through college. They move to Sinclair, where Mrs. Stanley secures a position and grows young again, drawing many protests from the twins. Here, Bob and Lucy fall under the wiles of Mary Hadley and Sydney Johnson, respectively, but Lucy is highly indignant when her mother accepts the advances of Professor Giddings. Seeing this, the ministerls widow refuses the Professor, who, in dire desper- ation, appeals to Lucy for her mother's hand. Realizing her selfishness, Lucy yields and all ends happily.

Saxophone Band RGANIZED three years ago, the Saxophone Band, under the leadership of Mr. A. D. Plumb, has developed into a splendid musical organization. Throughout the school year the Saxophone Band has taken an active part on the programs of McMillin Grange, Pacific City Improvement Club, Kapowsin, Sumner Commercial Club, Washington Educational Association at Tacoma, and various school affairs. On May 9, the Saxophone Band and Boys' Band, jointly, gave a band concert and a humorous play, Kye Tye. This concert was given to raise money in order that new instruments may be purchased. The Band in the past has met twice a week, and the individual has received free musical instruction, which will be of great value to him as he goes through life. Graduating this year are Freda Roesli, Mary Somerville, Dorothea Thomas, Edward Andrews, and Michel Pasquier, who have played in the Saxophone Band since it was organized. With these follcs graduating, it is hoped that others will interest themselves in saxophone and fill these open places.

The purpose of the organization is: To create, maintain and extend, through- out the school and community, higher standards of Christian Character. The club was true to its purpose this last year, holding its regular meetings every alternate week, and doing relief work throughout the community. It also aided in putting on the Fathers' and Sons' Banquet this year in the various churches, and its members sponsored a program in the Methodist Church. The Club was well represented at the Older Boys' Conference. It recently published its fourth S. H. S. Handbook, besides having its Sweetie Nightf' and Swim.

N October 1921 the Girls' Club of Sumner High School was organized through the efforts of Mrs. Zelpha Crawford, who was then one of the high school faculty. During the seven years that Sumner High has had a Girls' Club, the morale and standards of the school have been greatly elevated. This year under the advisorship of Miss Emmaline Schlauch the club has completed a most successful year. Among the greatest accomplishments were the Girls' Mixer or the Calorie Capern and the Mothers' and Daughters' Banquet, also the better recreation pro- gram consisting of swimming instruction and hikes for the girls. Club meetings have been held every two weeks. During the year two plays were given, one, Aunt Sabriny's Christmas was the feature of the Christmas program. The Girls' Club started something new this year by entertaining the Boys' Club. The program consisted of a play, Not a Man in the House, a reading and musical numbers. Besides helping the girls of the high school, the Girls' Club tries to be of a benefit to the community. At Thanksgiving time baskets were distributed to the needy and at Christmas the girls gave a program at the County Farm. They also helped with the decorations at the Annual Bulb Banquet.

Shannon HOSE who originated the Boys' Club in 1921 can now look with a feeling of pride at the size and power of the organization. The purpose of the club is to benefit every boy in school. Numerous vocational guidance talks were given throughout the year by various business men, to help the boys choose their life work. The Knights of the Hook was also reorganized by the Boys' Club. It is the duty of the Knights to help with school activities, athletic games or meets, and to keep order in and about the school. During the past few years the organization has been sadly neglected. After being revived by the Boys' Club, it is expected to do much for the school. Credit is due Mr. Shannon, the advisor, for piloting the club through a successful year. Glen Todd, Fred Gratzer and Tom Thomas, cabinet members, also worked hard. Most extensive of all the Boys' Club activities was Boys' Week observed from April 28 to May 5. Officers elected by the Club were: Mayor, Carroll Geiger, Police Judge, Virgil Smith, City Council, Glen Todd, Melvin Goheen, Ralph Wright, Antone Zehnder, and Fred Gratzerg Clerk, Lawrence Backs, Treasurer, Clinton Corliss, Marshalls, Preston Hovey and John Poolman. James Chandler was general chairman. Monday was agriculture and dairy dayg Tuesday, poultry day, Wednesday, medical and educational day, Thursday, press day, Friday, industrial and business day.

Brooks B ESPITE his new duties as High School Principal, Mr. Brooks has again proved his efficiency as an athletic coach. Although nine members of the Championship Football Team graduated last year, besides five of the seven Basketball lettermeng Coach Brooks was successful this year in building up ath- letic teams that ranked high in the league. In Track the same difficulty, the lack of experienced material, has also prevailed, but due to Coach Brooks' faithful training, the squad is showing up brightly. Much credit is due Coach Brooks for his untiring efforts in developing Spart- an athletics and for his cooperation in all high school activities. Fifty-six Coach Iona Van Hise A FTER four years of faithful ser- vice as coach of girls' athletics at Sumner High School, Miss Van I-Iise is deserting teaching and coaching for matrimony. Under her regime, the Spartan girls have done exceptionally well. In 1926 both the basketball and track teams placed second for county honors. In 1927 Sumner girls won the coveted County Basketball Championship and also took first place at the County Track Meet. This year the girls put up a good fight for county basketball hours, los- ing by a small margin. Because of her coaching ability in basketball, track, swimming, and base- ball, Miss Van Hise will always be known to Sumnerites as an All-Star Coach.

Second Team Football EGINNING the season with a green bunch of recruits, and winding up with the Pierce County Championship, Sumner's Midgets proved themselves worthy of that title. Under the able guidance of Coach Warren Webster, former State Normal star, the team completed its schedule with no defeats, four victories and three ties. Fife was the Midgets' first opponent. The battle was fought on Fife's gridiron in a steady downpour of rain, which made it next to impossible for the players to hold the ball. At the end of the game neither team had scored. Next came Vaughn. One lone touchdown for the junior Spartans gave them the game by a 6-0 score. Puyallup furnished competition next, on the Viking Field. Again neither team scored. Geiger, Sumner quarter-back, was injured in this fray and was forced out for part of the season. By a score of 14-6, the Midgets vanquished their fourth opponent, Pacific City. Sumner's team was outweighed about twenty pounds to the man, but never- theless made two touchdowns, converting both tries for points. This was not a league game. After winning their next battle from Gig Harbor by the score 15-7, the Midgets had only to defeat Roy to win the Championship. This they did in fine style, giving Roy the small end of a 9-6 result. The last game of the season was with Buckley. For the third time of the season the Midgets fought to a 0-0 tie. Conditions of the field and weather pre- vented the team from scoring, as the fast backs could not move on the slippery, muddy held. The first team lineup consisted of L. E. Kelley, L. T. Spencer, L. G. Knight, C. Cassidy, R. G. Pasquier, R. T. Whipple, R. E. Pautzke, Geiger, R. H. Nelson, L. H. Johnson, F. Wright. F i fty-seven 5 LW!

Goheen was the only man in the entire backfield with any ball carrying experience. The remainder of the backs were entirely new to the first team. The backfield men developed into a fast and shifty quartette of backs. Sumner concluded the season with four wins and three Leonard Fonda defeats. M 'Sf' The most startling game was with Enumclaw. The Tigers, being rated as one of the strongest football aggregations in the league, were forced to defeat by the Sumner Spartans in a hard fought game 14-13. High interest was evident throughout the season because of the spirit and ag- gressiveness of the fighting Spartans. The Sumner team is known for its clean playing. The team next year will suffer greatly by graduation. Ten first team lettermen will leave the-school as will three second team lettermen. A complete backfield of first team lettermen will graduate. Many of the men graduating will live long in Spartan football history, namely: Melvin Goheen, who was captain of the first chamuionship team in the popular Puget Sound League. Glen Todd was an all-conference end for two years. Virgil Smith, the 1927 captain, was on the all-conference second team for two years. Sidney Staples held down a center position for two years, then transferred to tackle for two seasons, Tom Hendricks was one of the scrappiest men on the team, a crashing tackle, Tom was an excellent snapper-back. Last, but not least of the veterans, is Antone Zehnder, a guard on the all-conference second team. Tommy Thomas and Willis Over, both of whom were highly handicapped by lack of weight, made the first squad only one year. They were a good pair of halfbacks, small but dangerous. Leonard Moore and John Forehand were two Spartans with the Never Die Spirit. John was a guard. Leonard was an end and could be shifted to the fullback position.

Glen Todd was the only regular back, and Max Rogel, who was unable to play part of the season, was the only first string sub to return. It is safe to say that the Sumner Spartans showed more marked improvement than any other team in the league. In l every game that was played the team showed considerable im- provement. With the exception of Todd, a senior, and Geiger, a TOY! Zfhndef junior, the squad was composed of underclassmen. The Spartans mage' were the lightest team in the league, but their spirit and craftiness made up for their lack of weight. The improvement of the team is shown by the results of the games in the summary below. Geiger was the surprise of the season. He was the midget of the team, but had a good eye for the hoop. He was wiry and crafty every minute of play. Sumner probably upset the heaviest dope bucket of the season by defeating the Kent Vandals, who were the conquerors of the powerful Renton Indians. Sumner suffered defeat from Renton by a single basket ,in the most thrilling hoop contest in which Sumner was engaged that season. Renton was one of the teams to enter the state tournament at Seattle. The honor of being the first team to play on the new Viking floor at Puyallup, which is the best in the league, was given to Sumner. Puyallup won by only three points in the usual fighting game that is staged when these two strong teams clash. Sumner closed the season by defeating the strong Kapowsiri hoop artists by a wide margin. Kapowsin was defeated by Puyallup a few days later by a single point in an overtime period. Kapowsin was in the B division of the Puget Sound League. Glen Todd is the only player who will be lost by graduation. Toddie held a regular berth on the Spartan squad for three years, playing forward and center. He was a consistent scoring machine at either position.

Truck LTHOUGH track has been rapidly gaining favor in the high schools in the country, Sumner was found at the first of the season with only two or three track prospects in sight. But after some hard and fast work the Spartans were able to display some real ability. The first meet of the season was with Hiline, Buckley, Kent and Eatonville. Sumner took second place. Goheen, Rogel, Over, Gratzer and Edwards were Sumner's only point scorers in this meet. Sumner copped a dual meet from Auburn three days later. The Spartans who placed were: Goheen, Gratzer, Over, Moore, Corliss, Rogel, Danforth, Staples, Todd, Smith and Zehnder. Enumclaw defeated Sumner by a small margin in a dual meet on the Spartan field. The point scorers were: Goheen, Gratzer, Zehnder, Over, Moore, Kelley, Rogel, MacKenzie, Todd, Danforth and Corliss. In the big meet with Lincoln High School of Tacoma, Puyallup, and Olympia, Sumner took third place. Goheen, Over and Rogel each took the first place in their event. Edwards got second in the spear throw, while Gratzer got third in the pole vault. The two outstanding track men of the season were Melvin Goheen and Willis Over. Goheen was defeated only once up to the publication of this Annual, by L. Dodd of Hiline. Over was defeated only once in the 880 up to the same time by H. Dodd of Hiline in the fast time of 2:07. Goheen and Over are Seniors and are good bids for the State Meet at Pullman. Jack Rogel, a Freshman, is also a good bid for the State Meet.

Matches for the season were scheduled with Puyallup, Auburn, Kent, Renton. and Kapowsin High Schools. Those winning out in the boys' singles were Ernest Rockway and Jack Rogel. The boys, doubles team consisted of Geiger and Rockway, and Rogel and Rogel. Jack Rogel, Max Rogel and Carroll Geiger are all three-year lettermen, while Rockway is playing his first year in Sumner High. Mixed doubles teams are Peggy Orton and Jack Rogel, and Freda Roesli and Carroll Geiger. Peggy Orton and Freda Roesli make up the girls' doubles team, while Freda Roesli will uphold the girls, singles. Miss Emmaline Schlauch, Sumner High School teacher, is coaching both boys and girls team this year. With so many lettermen returning and hard practice, a team will be presented that is expected to show up well. Vera Weller filled the manager's post for the entire season.

Center, Coach Van Hise Girls Basketball ASKETBALL being the main sport for the Sumner High girls, sixty enthusi- asts responded to the call to turnout in October. To hold interesn and work up new material, four interclass teams were organized. The Seniors grabbed sphere honors in this contest. Because of the fact that the boys, and girls' schedules were different, the girls played many important games away from home. In the final game of the season, a replay with Kapowsin was lost by the Spartan girls, placing them third in the league standing. The team members worked excellently together this year and many times they drew admiration from the spectators for their brilliant passes and headworlc. Much credit is due to Coach Van Hise and the manager, Dorothy Sprouse. Included in the team's personnel were: DOROTHY JUNGCK, forward, plays a heady game and is good on team- work. She graduates this year. VERA WELLER, guard, plays a fast and tricky game. She also leaves us this year. FREDA ROESLI, side center, is second to none in those long dribbles and sure catches. This is Freda's last year. Pl-IYLLIS GIEFER, guard, was noted for her long reach. Phyllis has one more year. MARIAN PURVIS, forward, frequently at the critical moment would thrill the spectators with a long, careless, but perfect shot. Marian is also a Junior. MARY LIVESLY, center, the best-teamworker there is and accurate on low passes. Mary has two more years. ALICE JENSON, forward, and VIOLET DELANEY, guard, proved very good sub material. A CELINA CLERGET, forward, and MAR-IORIE KILBORN, center, also deserve credit for their work.

Puyallup took first that year in the meet which was on Buckley's Athletic field. Puyallup's victory won for her the three year rotating cup. The next year with a new large three year rotating cup donated. by the College of Puget Sound, the Spartan girls started to tread the cinde-r path with an earnest purpose. With experienced material from '26, the Spartan girls won the cup from the clutches of Puyallup on the Viking's field last year. As The Spartan goes to press, this year's outcome is still uncertain, but all the track squad is hack except Sarah MacKenzie Johnson who took first in the baseball throw. With the experienced track girls back and the in-coming Frosh who had ex- perience in Junior High Track, there were many aspirants for each place. The County Track meet will be held May 5th, at Eatonville. Although Eatonville is a new competitor in the league this year and a dark horse, she is expected to show up well because track is her only sport for girls. . The other schools in the league for honors this year are: Sumner, Kapowsin, Orting, Puyallup and Buckley. Two entrants for each event will he chosen from the following list: fifty-yard dash, Phyllis Giefer, Violet Delaney, Cathryn Gaynor, Dorothy jungck, Esther Gieger and Ellen Princehouse. Ninety-yard dash: Phyllis Giefer, Mary Livesley, Doris Sprouse and Cathryn Gaynor. Seventy-five-yard dash fRelayj: Phyllis Giefer, Mary Livesley, Dorothy Jungck and Cathryn Gaynor.
