4. Now, didn't the fun of Clarence, presented on January 6 and 7, by an all star cast, bring us out of our holiday hibernation, though? We'll say it did. And didn t we have heaps of fun at the Prom on FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH? Foreign talent Cfrom the classj pre- sented, on January 11, masterpieces-equaling anything ever seen in the arena of Rome. We wish to thank Dr. Bowman for preaching our baccalaureate sermon at the First Presbyterian Church on January 22. Commencement! The close of four kaliedoscopi-c years sent us forth to the world each armed with a deadly DIPLOMA Uanuary 27, 19223. ALICE SODERWAL-L, Auctores. FRAIN WALKER, Scriptor. Qlllass Bonn Well, folks, our days are ended, And as we say goodbye, We can't help feeling saddened Without quite knowing why. We think of all the friendships We've made while we were here- Of teachers, and our classmates Grown unusually dear. We feel that the old spirit, Excitement, and the haste, We regret the many hours That we were wont to waste. Appreciate your school days, Ye, whom we leave behind, For some day y'ou'll be leaving, A-nd then, you, too, will find That you are feeling sadder And we can tell you why: You never miss the water Till the well runs dry!

2 f -iTTFi2i.4..jgg1l Glbrunnlngp nf the Glass of Blanuarp '22 On January 28, 1918, we, ninety lively Freshmen, became citizens of Washington Hig.h School. We came fro-m various scattered grammar schools. The first few days, the honorable Seniors, taking advantage of our manifest ignorance, sent us about on wild goose chases to diverse parts of the building. But, at the third assembly, we made our first impression on the school at large -by rendering Santa Lucia in what we thought was harmony. We wondered why the entertainment the Seniors gave us on Feb- ruary 18, 1918, was called a Freshman Frolic, because the Seniors froliced like spring lambs. After several days' anxiety and misery during examinationsf we became Sophomores, January 27, 1919. Here we spent ten months of hard study. The end of our second football season found us true Washingtonians. R-ah! Rah! On January 26, 1920, having again passed the scrutiny of our eagle-eyed teachers, we beca-me Juniors. So that we might know more fully who were who in the class, the girls gave a get-to-gether party on January 7, 1921. The apple pie a la-mode was enjoyed by all. We stepped gravely into -the building on January 31, 1921, for we were Seniors, though as yet unorganized. Mr. Boyd called us into solemn conclave to elect officers, February 17, 1921. Our noble Pres- ident was Robert fTriple 'LJ Maiutz: our small but fire-eating Vice- President, Lois fShortieJ Day: our pen-wise Secretary, Florence fFuz- ziej Fitzgerald: our honest Treasurer, Charles CHandso,meJ Norton: our weighty Editor, Corbly ffThI'68 CJ Church: our skilful artist, Gladys tBonheurl Young: our lyric Poetess, Doris tDoJ Ogdeng our Historians, Alice Soderwall and Fraln Walker: our witty Prophets, Katherine-Jane QK.

May 1, they entertained the girls, the main features being the dancing school tProfessor J. R. Keating, Masterj and an old-time May-pole dance. On April 6, we all shone forth before the school our resplendent gold class pins and our silky .ribbons of zephyr and sea-green. Again we weathered the storm of examinations. ' The bright d-awn of 'September sixth revealed us to 'the school as THE SENIORSK' On October 6. we chose for our class flower, the Ophelia Rose because we sympathized with Hamlet. Our turn to frolic came. We entertained the Freshmen in the Gym, October 13, with frozen milk, cooked sugar, jazz and other t'sober a-musements. Merry Christimasf'-4December 25. Hello, Santa.

Leake's Exclusive Winter' Gardens Scappoose, Oregon This show will appear at Harry Mackey's Arbor Gardens Fe-bruary 30 and 31st This poster, which appeared on a bill board in Montavilla, called to the mind of the expert yegg, Iven Pease, that a circus carried a large pay roll. Corbly iShylockJ Church, of hearing of the presence of the dangerous crook in the city, consented to spend several shekels for the purchase of a heavy iron safe from the venerable safe vendor, Dick At- kinson. 81 Front Street, who has at last married the leading lady of Clarence, Florence Fitzgerald. As you remember, this romance started when both were members of Doris Ogden's Follies of 1922. - Just then Bob Mautz, celebrated tight-rope artist, burst into the office accompanied by the Parisian Dancer Superb, Gladys Noren. He imparted to Shylock the news that Leora Embree, the snake charmer, in a fit of anger, had bit the largest of the boa-constrictors, imparting a fatal wound. The boa-constrictor, angry because he was 011, wi-apt himself about a flock of chorus girls, causing many casualties both to minds and bodies. Among the injured show girls were Ruth G.reen and Ann Karlsen, the Albino sisters: Gladys Young, the bearded lady: Delight Ingold, Helen Gripper, and Claribel Lamont, lady bare-back riders of the first tent, Zelia Zigler, fat lady: and Doris Gubser, Liona Abernatha, Ruth Chvitwood, Agnes Gorzelancyk and Nelypthia Clarke, acrobats. On calling the Standard 8 Ambulance Service, managed by Charles Lee Reynolds, we found the driver to be none other than Lucian Robinson, accompanied by Dr. Eldon Lambert, snake bite spec-- ialist, and his able corps of nurses, Gladys Fim-mel, Melissa Brockway, and Judith Biiggerstaff. In the midst of the excitement came the news that Dugan, the pei, elephant, had broken loose and was speeding through the streets of Sellwoorl at the top speed of a Dort. Great consternation reigned until Pete Palmer 'came in and annocnced that he had at last captured the speeding mountainside. He then created diversion for the com- Page Twenty-nine
