2-1 QUINT AULT Mentor Class History There is much to be said of our achievements, for even though it savor of vainglory we do not hesitate to state the truth. The facts are that, though there have been some injudicious flunks here and there, we have not been inactive nor shall we go out of our school life leaving no mark. True we have not been well beloved by other classes and our departure will not be mourned by them as an insupportable loss, yet we magnanimously consider the fact of their little ambition and that they are only waiting to step into our shoes. So much for the present conditions. Let us now, like all good historians. decipher the old manuscripts and pore over the carvings on the walls of the old school, also the desks, for our great deeds of the past. FRESHMAN YEAR. With the opening of our Freshman Year we received our introduction into the joys (?) of High School. For the first few days we ran the gamut of afflictions, wrong class room, giggling Juniors, scoffing, patronizing Seniors, etc., etc., until to many of us life seemed an unbearable visitation of the Gods. , Hut that all cleared, and we came nobly up to the mark in football, having five representatives on the second team. This is. as all are forced to admit, good work for a Freshman class. On the track team, as in basketball and debate, we made a far bet-fer record. Roy Wood, Ralph Faulkner, Harold Hayes, and Lance Hart made the track team and also creditable records for themselves. In Harold Haynes and Lance Hart we had two exceptional debaters. The A. II. S. was represented by Lance Hart in two important debates. The class showed the judgment for which it has since become famous in choosing the officers for the Freshman year, namely, Lance Hart, President, etc. etc. SOPHOMORE YEAR, In summarizing history of each year, football conies first in chronological order, so we will give it its rightful place. During this year, two men on the first team were the backbone of the squad, keeping up courage and working hard; these two boys were Ralph Faulkner and Roy Wood. Tin last named had the honor of making the first touchdown ever scored against Tacoma by us. In basketball Lance Hart and Roy Wood won laurels for themselves and their class; they were both brilliant players and often saved the team from utter defeat. In debate and oratory we shone with an undimmed luster, for in Lance Hart we had a speaker of no mean ability. He took second place in Seattle, and so gave us the victory over many larger schools. Ralph Faulkner and Alex Lackey also took a prominent place in our debating ranks. Tn tin1 baseball season, came an event which, for the first time, forced the upper classmen to recognize our ability. This was the baseball game in which the Sophomore team defeated a picked team from the rest of the school by a score of 11 to 8.
