JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY. Looking back over our past High School life; our successes, our trials and tribulations, we, the class of 1911, feel greatly and justly proud of the record we have to show. We have been amply represented in all branches of High School activities and have acquitted ourselves nobly and well. As we look over our athletic career, we find ourselves to have been represented in each and every event in our three years of work in the High School. In our Freshman year. Roy Wood, our star athlete, gained his position as “sub” on the first football team, running guard on the first basket ball team, and the 220-yard man on the track team, which went to Seattle, as well as took first place in the Southwestern Washington Meet in Aberdeen. In the same Spring, the Freshman track team took second place in the A. II. S. Interclass meet and were only a few points behind the seniors, who took first. When challenged to a dual track meet by the Franklin grade school, the class promptly accepted and easily took the meet by a total of ( 4 to 35 points from the overestimated graders. On the base ball field we find two freshmen, Roy Wood and Ralph Faulkner, on tin first team of that year. Passing along over the record to our second year we see the class of 1911, now Sophomores, still holding a prominent place among the High School athletic list. Roy Wood and Ralph Faulkner succeeded in making their positions on the first Football team, Roy Wood on (he Basketball team; Mottie Madison, Thomas O’Hara, Roy Wood and Ralph Faulkner on the Baseball team; and Lance Hart, Roy Wood and Ralph Faulkner on the Track team; Lance Hart winning the Championship of Southwestern Washington in the Shot-put. The 1911 Baseball team this year challenged the entire remaining High School to a game and, on being accepted, defeated the rest of the classes by a score of 11-8. Following up the record into the Junior year we again see the lad and lass of 1911 ever striving upward. On the Football field three of the hale and hardy Juniors, Roy-Wood. Dunbar Pinckney and Ralph Faulkner, won the much coveted “A” on the team which won the Southwestern Washington Championship. Among the girls, Vera Johnston attained and held the position of center on the girls’ Basketball team, which was considered the strongest team in the history of the A. II. S. Roy Wood. Mottie Madison, Rubin Hause, Leo Scott and Ralph Faulkner held important positions on the High School Baseball team, making five out of the nine baseball men, Juniors. Thus completing our athletic record, we have yet another side of the talent and ability of the class of 1911 to show. In the Freshman year, Lance Hart, one of our worthy members, received a silver medal for taking first place in the local declama- 24

tory contest; later he represented A. H. S. in the Southwestern Washington declamatory contest of the same year and this time received a gold medal for taking first place, and, upon going to Seattle to enter the State declamatory contest, lie took fourth place among orators and declaimers from all over the State. The next year Lance Hart again came to the front and upon being sent to the State Declamatory Contest, he took second place and was awarded the fifteen dollars offered for that place. Once more in our Junior year are we allowed to see the talent displayed by this young “ Demosthenes” of our class, Lance Hart. Upon being appointed leader of the debating team, Lance set to work with a mighty effort and after a long series of victories, succeeded in guiding his team to bringing home, with flying colors, the Championship of the State, and establishing for himself a statewide reputation as a debator and public speaker. So we draw to the close of our third and most successful year in High School, and are ready to sally forth on our forth and last year with renewed vigor and determination, expecting to make this one remaining year of our High School life, tin best and greatest of our career. And are we not right to expect such things? Are we not justified in singing the praise of this class, the best and dearest of all? For, ’tis said, “Whosoever paddleth not his own canoe, his canoe shall not he paddled.” So we, the class of 1911, do take off our hats and give three long and lusty cheers for A. 11. S. and the good old Gold and Brown. So: Here’s to the colors that float in the light, Hurrah for the Gold and Brown; Bright as tin stars that shine in the night And never stoop to scowl or frown; And may our memories, joyous and bright. Grow fairer and fonder as years take their flight ; Hail to the colors that float in tin light, Hurrah for the Gold and Brown. 25
