28 QUINIAULT Of the three officers of the student body, two are members of our class, namely, Marshall Reid and Minnie Mapes. The Junior Prom was a great credit to us, as it was without doubt the most successful that has ever been given. A great deal of painstaking and time were devoted to it. We were, for the first time, represented on the football team by Guy Morgan and Harold Inglebrigtsen. Will Landers acted as the manager. Rena Milette was elected secretary of the Athletic Association for the second semester. The Junior Girls’ Basketball team has shown itself as being composed of skillful players. Minnie Mapes represents us in a most gratifying way on the Debating Team. We received our class pins early in the second semester and we're all very much pleased with them. The Junior Issue of the Ocean Breeze was the best edition of the year and the financial results were extremely pleasing. Edwin Wilson as the Editor-in-chief certainly showed great skill in his management of it. We are already beginning to feel a small portion of the responsibility which will rest upon us as Seniors, and feel that we will be able to fill that position with due amount of honor.

Q U I N I A U L T 27 We entertained the incoming Freshmen with a marshmallow roast which was a great success. A large number were present and the party lasted until a late hour. The purpose of the entertainment was to further the “get acquainted spirit” in the High School. We were the only class to have a literary society, and on April the thirtieth a well rendered and pleasing program was offered by various members of the class. Mr. Miller favored us with a short selection dealing with the great economical question. It was during our second year that we procured class pennants, which were both novel and pretty. Our class officers for this year were; President, Marie O'Hare; Vice-president, Joe Keith: Treasurer, Florence Kolts, and Secretary, Minnie Mapes. Once more we were embarked on the Steamer Champion for the favored village of Westport. This picnic was again held in co-operation with the Senior class who respected our dignity much more than did the previous Senior class. The day was beautiful and everyone enjoyed the early morning ride and also a long walk on the beach. The girls with the aid of Mr. Holmquist and a few of the more thoughtful boys, prepared the “eats” of which there was a great abundance. After the luncheon was over some of the more ambitious classmen betook themselves to the beach, while the more languid ones were content with lounging in the sand and with picking violets. However, some of these less ambitious ones were gallant enough to help themselves to some of the superfulous luncheon belonging to the Seniors, which they had very carefully put away with the idea of partaking of an evening repast. About the time we were ready to return home a shower of rain greeted us, but to people who had been enjoying themselves it was of no major consequence. It lasted but a few minutes, however, and the ride home in the evening was extremely enjoyable. A happy but tired crowd of students hurried from the boat to their homes. JUNIOR YEAR At last we have arrived at that delightful state of Juniorism. We began the year with great spirit and with a firm resolve to make up by other means those honors which we had not received in athletics. The second week of school the following class officers, who had proved to be very competent, were elected; President, Marshall Reid; Vice-president, Rena Milette; Treasurer. Frank Heikkila, and Secretary, Ruby Johnson.
