-3 Tll-TE STUDENT BODYYS ROUND TABLE HE Knightly Student Body Table Round doth consist of Knights and Maidens of pure hearts. Their deeds have one aim: the con- Q M93 quest of leading all the other Knights and Maidens to the main- QAU tenance of the true and loyal spirit toward the good old W. U. H. S. The leader of this band is our royal Knight, Carl Biddle. In addi- tion to the chairmanship, he turned his hand to the slaughter of the heathen hordes of other schools in the battles of football and basketball. Lady Mary Ben Simpson, with her smile and helping hand, did help to lighten the burdens of the President Knight, while Lady Beth Freiermuth did faithfully enscroll upon the paper royal, with quill and pen, the pro- cedures of our knightly band. For the region of worry and tinkling coins did the gods of money give us Sir Tony Franich. Often in assem- bly he reminded us of money owed, and urged the quality of promptness. He did keep our money right and well, and did present us with a goodly sum, as he closed his books, with credit to his name. Next upon this royal list comes fair maiden Louise Hudson. Her very sweet and loving self did draw from out our royal band what she did need to make this book, to help us always to retain the memories of the year of '28 and '29. She is, we can all conclude, the editor of our Manzanita. Sir Daniel Ready -and here again we have a knight of principle and tact, who did give his might and main to help carry this book through-controlled expen- dituresg for as we know, he was the Business Manager of the Manzanita staff. Knight Gavin Taylor was the hardiest of all, he did manage the athletic tournaments of our mighty band, purchased new armor for the warriors, and did arrange the lists for each succeeding fray. Maiden Mary Crosetti did rule over the maidens' gentler jousts, and instilled into their hearts a striving spirit. The Knight Jim Nielsen was our knights' and maidens' reporter. He wrote of famous Wildcat deeds, and left us with records of great note. Last on this long list is Knight Halley Cox, who helped our royal band to unite under our Wildcat, and cheer for the teams we all loved so well. 4101- You Ztwfnlff' mf! ffl!-IIA' ffllbx' flnfx' .YIIIKIH if' -you ,wln'.n'!f r.'i'l'u Ifnnzf.-.llfzrllmzillfl

at- -fa Scholarship, Spirit, Service-Class Motto HEN first our class entered the court of learning, we were a motley crew gathered from provinces far and near, all drawn by the fame of the mighty court and fired with the ambition to become true knights, valiant and tried. Mighty and awe- inspiring seemed the chosen knights, haughty Seniors, and we, but pages small. In the first tournament we bit the dust before the onslaught of the Squires, or Sophomores, eager for sacks, but later retrieved our lost honors by overcoming these same squires in the knightly game of foot- ball. Though only pages, some were of the noble company who went forth from our court to do battle with the pagans of the C. C. A. L. Eight were admitted to that band exalted by reason of their great wisdom. By aspiring and achieving nobly we became squires the next year. In the tournament of the sacks We all but exterminated the new band of pages. The number of those in the chosen band increased and many received emblems of their skill. During these two years the maidens of our group had assisted in entertaining the court with music and drama. By reason of our prowess we all were dubbed maiden knights in the third year of our service at the court and with redoubled zeal we strove to prove ourselves worthy of our knighthood. Certain chosen knights were a part of the band of conquering heroes who spread the fame of our court through all the land by reason of their ability in basketball. ' Our wisdom increasedg in the deliberation and the government of the court our counsel held sway, our debaters traveled to foreign lands and brought home laurels. In the gentler arts of music and drama our knights and maidens excelled. As a reward for our noble service ren- dered to the court, we, as proven knights, were chosen officers and rulers of the court. At last we have reached our goal: true knights are we, valiant and tried, nearly all the offices of the court are ours, from our midst came all the captains of the mighty hosts, most numerous of all are we in the ranks of those who bear aloft the torch of learning. Our years at court are almost ended. Soon, tested and passed, shall we be sent forth on life's great quest, ever bearing aloft the ban- ners of purity, truth, justice, and service. -f121- Pl'i11ri'.v of 4'-:v1r1'fv.x',x'. llIt'7Tl,f-Ill, jimzzrf, mm' xt1'o11gf.-.XTTUIMIII
