18 QtJINIAULT Senior Class History LASS of 1913! As graduates we look back over the past four with regret and pride—regret for the things which we did not accomplish and pride in the many undertakings which we completed so creditably. We are told that we are standing on the threshold, that life for us is just beginning. Some have completed their school education and will soon mingle in the business of the world, while others, we hope a great many, will continue their studies in th' various colleges and universities. We will soon be expected to prove ourselves and make use of the knowledge we have gained. Although, according to ancient superstition, we have been laboring for four years under the ban raf the hoodoo “13.” results would seem to show that this was our lucky number. The class of ’13 has been prominent in all lines of school activities, athletics, oratory, debate, and dramatics, from the time when they entered the old High school on the hill as green Freshies. One bright {September day in the year of 1909, the upper classmen saw groups of giggling, bewildered youngsters wandering about the halls looking for the Freshman room. After the usual remarks about “green freshies” they promptly forgot our existence except when some belated Freshman rushed absent-mindedly into the .wrong class and furnished a welcome diversion. But.'tf'hefi the basketball season began and the dignified Seniors atul haughty Juniors went down to defeat before the despised little Freshies; they woke up and ruefully watched us triumphantly carry off the-.class championship. Ira Blackwell, who was also on the football b tm and Stanley DeLosh represented the class of ’13 on the A. H. S. basketball team. Naturally, the history of our first year in High school is Hot lengthy but before we narrate the events of the following Vear of ' ysdom we should mention the Freshman picnic. As Sophomores our wisdom was recognized and our conscientious teachers could not but give us marks which put us at the head of the list of classes in scholarship. Not. confining ourselves to the studious side alone, we Wejfe found- in all 'lines of school activities. Pennoyer. Anderson and Blackwell were bur contributions to the state championship football team. Blackwell was considered the star fullback of the state. While not coming out in the lead, the Sophs put up a good fight for the class basketball championship, Victor Burt, Bond Rupert and Ira Blackwell playing especially well. Cyria Allen represented the Sophomores oil the High school deluding team. A large hayrack was the conveyance which transported the jolly Sophs to a pretty spot on the W.ynooche river for their class picnic. Montesano was visited by several bunches of picnicers and many exciting adventures were experienced. Our Junior year was most successful. Burt and Blackwell were mainstays on both the football and basketball teams. The Junior Prom under competent management, was one of the most successful social events of the year. The K. of P. hall was beautifully decorated and a large crowd attended, makiog it a financial as well as a social success.
