QUINIAULT talent as football players. Guy Morgan and Harold Ingebrigtsen were our representatives on the first team while Will Landers was elected Manager, in which office he gave promise of becoming a great financier. The second week of school the following class officers were elected: President. Marshall Reid; Vice President, Rena Milette; Secretary, Ruby Johnston; Treasurer, Frank Heikkila. Of the three officers of the student body, two were of our class, namely, Marshall Reid and Minnie Mapes. Our Junior Prom was given at the Knights of Pythias Hall, and without doubt, was the greatest success that has ever been given. The decorations were carried out in Japanese effect, with many colored lights, lanterns, and umbrellas. Early in the second semester we received our class pins, which were dull gold, and black enamel. The Junior issue of the Ocean Breeze was very gratifying to the Class, who were also pleased with the financial results. The staff was well chosen and Edwin Wilson made a great success of the Editor-in-Chief’s position. During that year Minnie Mapes represented us on the Debating team. At last our eyes were turned toward the Senior year which contains the greatest pleasures that a student enjoys during the four long years of hard work. We assembled in Room 22 under Miss Condit, but during the second semester we were presided over by Miss Fogle in Room 14. In football we were well represented, and also in all other athletics. Herbert Creech made a good showing in debate. Financially our year has been a good one, for the treasury is replete in funds, which is more than most Senior Classes can boast of. The chosen play named “Pickles.” a comedy by George Ade. was successfully coached by Miss Agnes Hobi, who formerly had experience in dramatics at the University of Washington. We believe our Class will be remembered if for nothing else than the extremely wise precedent the girls wish to establish in wearing simple cotton graduation frocks. In foregoing classes the graduating outfit has been an important item but we believe that graduation will be just as effective when less elaborate.

Through the dim mist of Time to come, Hope sees a star and onward to that goal Enthusiasm leads the clan which aims to succeed in the coming years. The opening days of our high school life were filled with confusion and timidity, but encouraged by the watchful yet tolerant eye of Mr. Holmquist, we began our four years' course. After several months the class organized and with the help of “Roberts Rules of Order” we elected as our first officers: President, Edwin Wilson; Vice President, Clarence Caldwell; Secretary, Edward Holmer; Treasurer, Celia Cahn; Sergeant-at-Arms, Will Landers. During the first year we were represented in the Chehalis County Triangular Debate by Clarence Caldwell, Amelia Pearson, Frances Douglas, and Minnie Mapes. In two out of three debates they won by a unanimous decision. The first class picnic was held in conjunction with the Seniors at Westport Beach. The Steamer Champion was chartered for the occasion, and has always carried the class to the succeeding picnics in that same place. The Sophomore history lacks sufficient material to make it interesting. The boys were dormant as far. as athletics wrere concerned, but were brilliant stars in all other school work. In order that they might receive some recognition, the class organized a literary society with Rena Milette as president. One very good program was furnished but because school work was strenuous (?), the organization was short lived, however. The class of ’15 was the first to have a club of this kind and probably would have made a success of the enterprise, had they had more time. The Sophomore Class, like the Freshman Class, was under the supervision of Mr. Ilolmquist in Room 9. The officers were President, Marie OTIare; Vice President, Joe Keith; Secretary, Guy Morgan; Treasurer, Florence Kolts. At last we were Juniors and felt the school belonged to us. The year was begun with great spirit and some of our boys developed great 22 CH

Agnes Thompson; Secretary, Kris Kesterson; Treasurer, Rupert Garrison. Thus do we reluctantly bring to a close the history of the Class of the Nineteen P’ifteens. By a constant desire to fulfill our pledge of loyalty to our High School, we have gradually improved our position and prowess, and we hope that the classes which follow will profit by our shortcomings, and attain still higher levels of scholarship.
