P E R C L A W A M ALICE E. OKSNESS Seniors of the Class of 1932 Dear Friends: Today you stand facing the world and all that life has in store for you. For four years you have enjoyed the advantages of a high school education, and the training you have received places certain responsibilities on you. This community has ex' pended a large amount of money upon each of you, and it has reason to believe that you will do something worth while to repay this expenditure. The training you have received enables you to take your places as honorable members of society. Citizene ship of the highest type is needed in this country and if I were to express in one sentence what you should do to repay the community, I would say, 'kBe good citizens. This expression may mean a great deal or very little depending on the individual. You members of the Class of 1932 have demonstrated unusual ability in both scholarship and in executive work during your four years of high school, therefore much will be expected of you in the future. Ivlany of you, too, have shown qualities of leadership, and your several communities will look to you for guidance in working out the problems of life. Finally, as you pass through the portals of Commencement, may you continue to show the same enthusiasm and cooperation which has characf terized your high school days. Sincerely, ALICE E. CKSNESS.

PERCLAWAM C0Wl0 5 9'C055f ss- Rs W-.... Tenth Anniversary of Union High School IN commemoration of the tenth anniversary of Union High School we, the Class of '32, feel that special recognition should be given in the Perclawam in memory of this event. It is just ten years since the nine districts that form the Perclawam High School cooperated and opened a high school in Community Hall, on the twelfth day of September. Gradually the necessity of a bigger and better surrounding became apparent and before the year of 1921f22 had closed, a beautiful new brick building was completed. The dedicatory service to the new building was held on the afternoon and evening of December 12, 1921, with Dr. A. B. Cunningham, Dean of C. P. S., as the main speaker of the afternoon, and Dr. F. E. Bolton, Dean of the College Education, U. of W., and Minnie Bean, Superintendent of Schools, as the speakers of the evening. Mr. B. K. Cook was the first principal of the school and was followed by Mr. New 11923281 Mr. Carroll was next to guide the school 0928615 and he was followed by Miss Oksness, who is our principal at the present time. Ten years have gone by rapidly in the history of the Perclawam High School, but not without memorable changes. Since 1921, which is but a faint vision to us, the enrollment of U. H. S. has grown from 34 to 187. lt is our sincere hope and wish that U. H. S. will continue to grow Nine 1 L-AJ
