rf ' ■ I rCT cH ROYAL BLUE ESSIES Annals o! tfje Clares of ’15 BRUCE WAID CLINGAN “Here’s a letter for you, Grandpa.” The old man took the envelope, opened it, and drew out a handsomely engraved invitation. “It ' s a Commencement invitation, Bob, from the class of 7 65 of the Walla Walla High School, Niue teen sixty-five! It- doesn’t seem possible, but Ii is fifty years since I, too, was graduated from the Walla Walla High School.” “Tell me something of your high school days, Grandpa.

Algebra, and Latin too, were pretty hard for some of the pupils. Every morning in our Algebra class, Miss Sykes would ask, Glow many of you have all the work this morning?’ but it was very seldom that we were all able to stand up when this question was asked. “About the middle of October a class meeting was called by our presi¬ dent, Gaylord Upington, and we made plans for our first social affair. It was to be a Hallowe’en masquerade party in the gymnasium. We were warned to keep our plans secret for fear of the Sophomores, Acting upon Miss Blyrm’s advice, we all met at the home of one of the girls and went to the party in a body. Everyone wore a costume and a mask and we bad a great
