QUINIAULT Junior Class Histnru “Swiftly our pleasures glide away. Our hearts recall the distant da.. With many a sigh; The moments that are speeding fast We heed not, but the past,—the past,-More highly prize.” —Longfellow. N September 3, 1912, a sturdy band of forty-two Freshmen entered into the blissfulness which they had been dreaming of for past years. Many dire threats had been made by those awe-inspiring superiors, the upper-classmen, but with the aid of a few chosen members we passed the first year in safety. Aforesaid members were: Ursula Her- mans, President; Robert Campbell, Vice-president; Douglas McKenna, Secretary; and Ruth Waller, Treasurer. The Sophomores welcomed the class into the social whirl of A. H. S. with a marshmallow roast on Broadway Hill. Irwin Pinckney was our only representative on the football team and the class came second in basketball. About the last of May we went to Westport with the Juniors on our first class picnic. As Freshmen we were enrolled in Room 11, under Mr. King’s care. Next came the period of giggles and “emptv-headed-ness” known as the Sophomore year. A full year, one in which a feeling of ease, unknown to the preceding year, prevailed. We were no longer “the under-classmen.” Irwin Pinckney was again the class football hero, and Gns Adams, Douglas McKenna. Irwin Pinckney, Joe Penn and Cecil Turk distinguished themselves as “speeds” in basketball. We were duty-bound to entertain the entering Freshmen and late in September gave a reception in the old “gym.” On May 23, we went to Westport with the Seniors on our second class picnic. Class officers for the year were: Philip Halferty, President; Douglas McKenna, Vice-president; Irene Crarv, Secretary, and Cecil Turk, Treasurer. As Sophomores-we were still in Room 11 with Air. King. And then came the year known as the happiest yet the hardest in High School, The Junior Year. A year of events and accomplishments 28 c=i □ ©
