Fame, love, and fortune on my footsteps wait. Cities and fields I walk; I penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and passing by Hovel and mart and palace—soon or late I knock unbidden once at every gate! If sleeping, wake—if feasting, rise before I turn away. It is the hour of fate, And they who follow me reach every state Mortals desire, and conquer every foe Save Death; but those who doubt or hesitate, Condemned to failure, penery, and woe, Seek me in vain and uselessly implore. I answer not, and I return no more!” —John James Ingalls. cCo one who has always tal en £een interest in the activities and welfare of the students, we respectfully dedicate this volume: Mr. T. W. T.

During this period you have been forming those conceptions of life, conduct and achievement, which are likely to dominate your future to a great extent. Critically scan your successes and failures before making new resolutions. See wherein you can increase your efficiency and overcome the difficulties which you have encountered. We rejoice with you in all of your happy experiences of the past, and wre are glad for anything you have done to bring greater honor to yourself and school. But the greater accomplishments of these four years remain unseen except as their fruits shall reveal them. Ideals have been formed and life purposes have been crystallized which the coming years are to test and try, improve and perfect, and their realization we hope shall one day be the greatest tribute you can pay to the Weather-wax High School. I trust that you, the Class of 1 !)!( . will always be true to the institution from which you are graduating, true to your class, but above all, be true to yourselves. The Aberdeen High School will rejoice with you in your successes, sympathize with you in your temporary defeats and be interested in you always. GEO. B.

However, we note with no small degree of satisfaction that our work has at all times been given without question for the promotion of any school enterprise. Chapter I. As Freshmen in 1912-13 we received our introduction into the Joys (?) of High School. For the first few days there was the general run of afflictions, wrong class rooms, and such, but that was soon cleared up. We began our career in room eleven, and being under the watchful eye of Mr. King we soon became accustomed to the routine of High School work. After a short time the class was organized and our Freshman officers were elected. They were as follows: Ursula Hermans, President; Robert Campbell, Vice President; Douglas McKenna, Secretary, and Ruth Waller, Treasurer. • Our initiation into the social life of Aberdeen High School took place at a marshmallow roast given bv the Sophomores on Broadwav Ilill. The class was represented in football and in Interclass basketball, our boys defeating tin Sophomores and the Seniors. In interclass track we secured third honors. About the last of May, our class, in company with the Juniors, went on the first class picnic to Westport, making a fitting and pleasant close for the Freshman year. Chapter II. We were now Sophomores and possessed the full confidence that goes with this year of High School life. The officers were: Phillip Halferty, President; Douglas McKenna, Vice President; Irene Crary, Secretary, and Cecil Turk. Treasurer. , We extended a hearty welcome to the entering Freshmen at a reception given in the “old gym.” Again our boys maintained their athletic supremacy in both basketball and track. At the close of our Sophomore year we celebrated our annual picnic at Westport with the Seniors. —22— Q UINIAULT Chapter III. And now comes our Junior year, a year in which our class was unquestionably champions in athletics over all other classes. The boys with their two years of training proved to be bright stars. Five of our members represented us on the football team. In class basketball we won all our games and even defeated the fast Montesano team. Both track meets were won by the Juniors. The girls proved themselves creditable to the class in basketball. Clarence Caldwell by his ability as an orator easily won a place on the debating team. Our class pins were chosen early in the year and although small they were very attractive. The Junior Prom which was given at the Electric Park was one of the important social affairs of the year. Junior officers were: Lester Rowland, President; Tom O’llare. ice President; Dick Hook, secretary, and Henry Anderson, Treasurer. Chapter IV. Our last year marks the most successful period of our school life. On the football team, which tied for the State championship, we had four representatives. In basketball most of our players were on the first team, but we had athletes enough for a fast class team which defeated the Iloquiam Cosmopolis teams. Ed Ilobi and Dewey Wilson were the shining lights from tin class in track, while Henry Anderson, Emil Carlson and Percy Boutyette did much toward the introduction of baseball into our field of athletics. Five Seniors took part in the German play, which was a splendid “comedy” and the first to be given in the High School auditorium. Miss Rupp laboriously coached the students and she is to be complimented upon her success with so inexperienced a cast. Miss Ilobi was chosen to coach the class play, and with her thorough coaching and a representative cast, our play proved a decided success. Ruth Waller, editor of this Quinault, with the aid of an efficient staff, has shown much capability in editing the annual. Our class officers for the past year have been. Henry Anderson, President; Edwin Ilobi, Vice President; Emil Carlson, Secretary, and Phillip Halferty, Treasurer. Now that we are about to depart from this High School we wish our successors and the faculty much opportunity and success for the future. —23- EDWIN IIOBI, ’16. q i; 1 X I A U L T Class $)ropfjecp ( lara Good morning, madam. Could you spare me a few moments of your time this morning?” Maude—“A very few. May I inquire who—?” Clara—“I am employed by the government of the United States to take th ' census for the Findout Society. Your name please?” M.—‘‘Mme. Know-it-all.” C.—“Is that your real name, Mrs. —?” M.—Miss, if you please. Miss Maude Craig.” G.—Well, for Heaven’s sake! Do you know who I am?” M.—“You are Clara Fridlender.” C.—“How did you recognize me so easily?” M.—I am a crystal gazer—I saw you coming. I belong to the International Order of Crystal Gazers.” C. “Oh, I see. I haven’t seen you since the night we graduated— ten long years. It hardly seems possible, does it?” M.—“Didn’t you know I went to Siam to study?” C.—“No, do you remember—” M.—“I have a professional engagement at ten-thirty, and 1 really haven’t time—” I • 1 hat s a nice way to treat an old friend. Break your engage- ment and let s talk about the Class of 1916. That was a wonderful class. Why, do you know that many of them have become celebrities? Dewey ilson, who was always so interested in mechanics, has invented a perpetual-motion machine.” M.—“How wonderful! For don’t you remember that Mr. Leonard said that that couldn’t possibly be done.” I • You re interested already. Lot’s go on. Some of them are still in Aberdeen.” M.—“Do you remember the President of the Senior Class?” C.—‘A es. Heine Anderson. He is now Governor of Mexico, you know, and has lately attracted much attention by his stirring addresses to ( ongress on How to Cultivate Primroses.” He has also written a very successful book on “What Germany Has Done for Me.” He is still an athlete and is as much of a lady’s man as ever.” C—You remember Ruth Waller? Well, when I was in London last winter she was making a great sensation in society. After graduating she went to Europe, where she met and married Lord Hedgeaway. I met her at a ball given in honor of their Majesties George VII. and Queen Mary.”......................................... M.—■ ‘ Great—go on ! ” C.—“I wonder what’s happened to Queene Wellington, who took the part of ‘Tilly’ in the Senior class play, ‘Back to Kansas City’? I —24— QUINIAULT have seen her several times in New York and London. She was with the Kosmopolis Komedy Kompany, appearing in her own comedy. ‘The Tribulations of Tilly.’ They say she is drawing a salary equal to that of the President of China!” M.—“Speaking of China,—weren’t there several of our girls who went as bridesmaids with Addie McGilton, when she married the American Ambassador to China?” C.—“Yes, I met two of them a few years ago when I was in China— Grace Fuller and Hilma Markkula. Grace had just returned from a trip into the interior. She was conducting scientific research work, and had gotten some wonderful results.” M.—“And what is Hilma doing?” C.—“Oh, Hilma returned from China. She is now in San Francisco running a large florist shop, teaching young buds to come out. Let’s look in the crystal?” M.—“I See Charles Rankin coming up the street in his new Ilot-air-mobile. lie is an instructor at the University of Bom-Bom, on Bom-Bom Bay, in Turkey. In the summer he tours about delivering lectures, which have put the orations of Demosthenes in the shade. He was elected President of the Turkish Debating Society last year, and is advocating woman suffrage in that country.” C.—“It’s odd I haven’t heard of him. Can you see Emil Carlson.’ M.—Wait—yes, there he is. I see he has become the owner of the U. S. Ford Corporation. You know the Ford has become the I niversal car. He has one of the finest homes in Cosmopolis and has won worldwide fame.” C.—“Do you remember the dark girl who sat across from him.’ M.—You mean Gladys Grimes? Yes she was with the big circus that was at Palm Beach last summer. Ella Olson was also there, and who do you suppose was with them? Clarence Berger and Gus Adams. Gladys is the lady who can tell you anything, and Ella is a celebrated bare-back rider. Gus is the chewing gum kid. He claims to have been chewing the same piece of gum for two solid years, which brings many curious people to his ‘stall.’ Clarence Berger is everything from a clown to a water-boy for the animals.” C.—“Let me tell you something very interesting. Several years ago I met Mary Bodner on the street in Westport, and the gold medal sin was wearing almost blinded me. She has won the title for the champion typist in the United States, and she further astounded me by saying that 999 words per minute had absolutely no effect on her. While standing on the corner we were interrupted by the passing of an automobile, upon which signs were painted, ‘Just Married,’ ‘Needles and Pins, and in the car were Ted Braehvogel and Irene Crary. Mary told me that they —2£— Q U I N I A U L T had just taken each other for ‘better or for worse.’ I never found out which it was. The machine stopped in front of Mr. Brachvogel’s large haberdashery, and Mary and I walked on.” M.—“I always thought it would end that way.” G.—“Yes, so did I. but let me finish. We were passing a theater and imagine our surprise when Douglas McKenna and Gene Potter appeared. They were the biggest feature on the Orpheum. and their acting and singing is ‘the’ thing now. They were the little boys who were always so c|uiet. and unassuming in school.” M.—“Speaking of theatres. When I was in Portland I met Ruby Johnston and Marcia Peckham. They are running a Day Nursery in one of the large picture houses there.” C.—“And I simply must tell you about Joe Penn. I ran into him in Paris last fall. After graduating from a Military Academy, he went to France and offered his services as a private in the French army. Through his wondeful skill and ability as a leader, lie became the greatest general h ranee has ever known. It was he who planned and executed the final campaign which brought the war to such a victorious close for France.” M.—“I always thought that he would become famous. Who was the little girl he so admired in his Senior year?” C.—“You mean Lois Young?” M.—“Yes, that is the name.” C.—“Oil, there’s romance! Lois was a Red Cross nurse just across the German line and in some way she saved Joe’s life. Their youthful courtship was revived, and they are now happily married Both have received many honors from the crowned heads of Europe.” M.—“Have you ever heard of Phil Halfertv and Bill Landers?” C.—“No,—what about them?” M. Why, they formed a partnership and made all kinds of money, in the fish cannery business. They export annually thousands of tons of concentrated brain food.” C.—“They tell me that Elmer Shaker is also a credit to the class. He is a demonstrator for a new hair tonic at Woolworth’s 10c store. And speaking of Elmer, reminds me of Ed Hobi.” M.—“lie was an athlete, wasn’t he?” C.—“Yes, after graduating from Aberdeen, he went to Hoquiam to coach football.” M.—“Didn’t lie marry a girl from Satsop?” C.—“Yes, that is near the town where Gertrude Thomas lives. Have you heard about her? She has distinguished herself.” M.—“By getting thin?” —26— Q U I N I A U L T 0.—“Not that especially,—she conducts a branch beauty parlor in Cosmopolis for Spaghetti of Paris, and her chum, Dorothy Belles, you remember her don’t you, is said to be clever. I saw her in ‘Views of Africa.’ She is a missionary to the High Mogul of Egypt. The natives admire her so that they have erected Sphinx in her honor.” M.—“She was a whiz in school. Have you read Lester Rowland’s latest novel?” C.—“You don’t mean that he is writing?” M.—“lie has written several very popular books, and it is predicted that they will live. They are close seconds to those of George Ade.” C.—“And Julia Remmelmeyer.—it seems that after she graduated she decided to go to New York and study ballet dancing. New York, however, did not seem to appreciate her first effort, so she went to Russia, and her dancing aroused much interest. She joined the Imperial Ballet, and has appeared several times in this country. She is very wonderful. I saw her picture in a newspaper not long ago, ‘The Aberdeen Daily World.’ ” M.—“It seems to ine that Joe Keith, one of our old classmates, is publishing that paper.” C.—“That’s right, he is situated in the city and understands the newspaper business from A to Z.” M.—“And Laurence Hopkinson was admitted to the bar, and is now judge of the Supreme Court of Tipperary. Funny he wasn’t a chemist!” C.—“Kathleen Graham is the champion woman athlete of the world, and holds the championships in tennis and swimming.” M.—“And what happened to Ilarry Thomas?” C.—“lie is a confirmed bachelor. But he has the money. lie owns several banks in different parts of the country since his mill burned down.” M.—“IIow about Percy Boutyette?” C.—“Oh, Punk has a large ranch up the Wishkah. He’s still the bashful boy.” , M.—“I wonder why the class has never had a reunion?” C.—“It has, many were absent, you among them. Mr. McNamara presided and he hasn’t changed a bit.” M.—“The boy s—” M.—I must keep my engagement—see you later.” C.—All right, so long!” CLARA FRIDLENDER, ’16 MAUDE CRAIG, ’16 —27— CLASS OF 16 AS FRESHMEN CLASS OF ’16 AS SEulORS • I Q U I N I A U L T Junior Officers Macon Gibson, Pres.; Eric Strommer, Sec. and- Treas. junior Class oll Bertrand Achey Sarah Ivana William Anderson Grace Johnston Ellen Anderson Wilhelm Keil George Arnold Edna Kendall Julia Benson Don Lyons Francis Blomquist Marguerite Loomis Mary Bowes Arthur Mackey Dorothy Borden Lorentz Matilla Henry Callison Harold Messer Maude Cosgrove Lillian Milette Marion Crary Katherine Moir Ruby Cross Catherine Miller Mary Donovan Josephine McNamee Bruce Ellis Martha Nelson Sarah El way Adolph Norin Maude Fitzgerald Thomas O’Hare Mildred Foelkner Amelia Pearson Macon Gibson Alberta Prentice Alice Gibson Winifred Paine Gertrude Goehrend Martha Pearson Goldie Graham Edward Remmelmeyer Irena Greene Marie Robinson Carrie Garman Clara Rosenberg Mildred Gerhardt Eric Strommer Lilith Graham Ada Vanucie Louisa Hessig Ralph Vammen Hinman Harris Paul Vernon Richard Hook Arthur Williams George Hinton Clara Warwick Jeanette Hogan Dorothy Watson Sidney Hyatt Loretta Wells August Ivana Doris Wilco:: —31— Q U I N I A U L T Junior Class instorp E CLASS of 1917 came to the end of their Junior year finding it hard to realize that they are so soon to graduate from Aberdeen High School. It seems scarcely a year since the day they first entered its halls as Freshmen, and now for the third time the scribe begins to chronicle their deeds. Their first year in High School was as uneventful as first years generally are. It can only l e written that they bore themselves with that meek and unassuming demeanor most becoming to Freshmen. As Sophomores, their first awe in their surroundings gone, they went to work in earnest and struggled along through the mazes of Geometry and Latin and all the rest, attaining a very good average of scholarship but still they remained discreetly in the background. Then dawned the Junior year. At the first of the year the class received a welcome addition of athletes with the coming of “Quick Keil and Cecil Turk. Other new-comers who were gladly welcomed by the class, are: Arthur Williams, Alice Gibson and Macon Gibson. In football “Quick and William Hugo were both members of the first team where they were stars of the first order. Tn basketball Cecil Turk was on the first team while the class team was a stellar one which came in second in tin interclass series and showed up well in other games. The girls’ basketball team won the school championship, while Martha Pearson, first team captain, and Sarah Elway, running center, both belong to the Junior class. In debate the Junior team again won the championship and was represented on the first team bv Arthur Williams and Dorothy Borden. As Freshmen and Sophomores the class also had members on the first team. For the third time the class of 17 carried off tin city declamation contest when Dorothy Borden won the silver medal. Marion Crary, a Junior, was editor of the Ocean Breeze for 1916, and several Juniors were on the staff. Among the events of the year were: the arrival of the class pins, which though small, were very pretty and proudly exhibited; and the morning must not be forgotten when dawn found a big white 17 gleam-ing on the top of Broadway Hill. True it soon vanished under the devastating hands of Seniors, but the 17 was there nevertheless and provoked much comment and some stormy feelings. The Junior Prom this year was a great success and greatly enjoyed by all. There was, better still, a nice sum left in the treasury when all hills were paid. The officers for the year were: William Hugo. President; Macon Gibson. Vice President; Joe Fox. Secretary, and Eric Strommer. Treasurer. The class is a larsre one and in September when they return as Seniors, its members will go at it with a will, so that they may leave a splendid record in Aberdeen High School for the class of 17. —33— ( QUINIAULT j% opf)ontore € fftcers Estel Herren, Pres.; Ray Peterson.

They were prepared for the cruel fate that always awaits Freshmen. After a few weeks a reception was given in their honor by the Sophomores, which was well attended and enjoyed by every one. Several weeks after, at a first Class meeting, Ed Edwards was elected President; Carl Anderson, Vice-President; Roger Blackburn, Secretary and Treasurer. As Freshmen they were represented in Athletics by Estel Herron, Elmer Elliot, Carl Anderson and Roy Thompson. The second semester ushered in a class of twenty-seven mid-year Freshmen who proved to be ideal underclassmen, for having been in the building a semester, they knew their rooms and classes. The first thing of importance in the Sophomore year was the election of officers. Those who were elected were: Estel Herron, President; Roy Peterson, Vice-President; George Vaughn, Secretary, and Gordon Gibson, Treasurer. As duty bound we gave the incoming Freshmen a reception on October first. It proved a success, bringing us on friendlier terms with the Freshmen. The class has been represented in athletics and debate. The Basketball team has shown marked ability, which we hope will increase with time. Our debating team has been unusually successful. Sophomore debators were: Roger Blackburn, Ellen Marsh, and Lorena Wyandearo. In debate, Roger Blackburn has shown original and talented work. Sophomores on the athletic field have accomplished excellent results and deserve mention. Those who have represented the class are: Ernest Axland, Levy Johnson, Elmer Elliott Estel Herron. Roger Blackburn, Rupert Cross, Weir Allen, Fred Pearson, and William Axland. It is to be hoped that the remaining years of High School will be as successful as the past two have been for the Class of 1918. —37— NELLIE TONNISON, ’18.

All were eager to begin their year of the so-called “Freshman horrors,” and all were unmistakably marked with verdancy. The first Class Meeting was held September seventeenth and the officers there elected were: Russel Austin, President; Lily Xordgren, Vice-President; Helen Chamberlain, Secretary, and Edward Green, Treasurer. At a later meeting it was found necessary to have a Sergeant-at-Arms. Lief Ingebrigtsen, in that office, has proved himself to be capable of disposing of any of the intruding Upper Classmen. Class colors were next brought to vote. Royal Purple and Gold finally being chosen. For the Class Flower, the Yellow Rose was chosen. By this time the Freshmen had become more at ease and better acquainted with their new surroundings, and a delightful evening provided for them by the Sophomore Class, was greatly enjoyed. On the gridiron, the Freshmen have made a splendid showing and in Basketball won the Inter-Class Championship over the Juniors. All teams have found it hard to hold their own against the hard-limiting underclassmen. In Debate, the class contributed three members. All have done much to win laurels for their class and it is sincerely hoped that in track the Freshmen will make an equally splendid showing. In the mid-year the Class was re-enforced by thirty entering F resh-men of 1919V � , making the Class not only the largest in High School, hut one of whom all may be proud, and one that will be a credit to the Aberdeen High School. 4] — HELEN CHAMBERLAIN.

We are Seniors in the full sense of the term, looking only toward life and the future. Yet with these feelings comes one of regret at the thought of leaving the friendly halls of the Aberdeen High School, which for four years have sheltered us. Though scattered far and wide let us take with us into the world the friendly attitude and loyal spirit always displayed within these halls. Always endeavoring to make ourselves worthy of the school, and its —42— QU-1NIAULT hijrh standard of honor. “Live pure, speak truth, right the wrong, follow the King. Else wherefore born?” QUINIAULT VII. The “Quiniault,” the Senior annual, published in the usual haste, by the Class of 1916, goes out into tin world with many a flaw and weakness. Inasmuch as this is the first attempt at journalism made by the Class of ’16, we console ourselves with the thought that it might be worse. We have earnestly striven to make a just record of all the events and happy occasions of tin past year. With the addition of a new department we feel that we have started something for our successors to complete. Heretofore, much space has been provided for the social and athletic side of our High School life, but none has been donated to our courses. With a short story or report on some of the advanced subjects the underclassmen, as well as other schools, receive some knowledge as to the work carried on in our classes. We have but started, much more may be done. TO THE CLASS OF 1916. You have now completed your High School work. You have finished a prescribed course of study. In a day or two you will receive your diplomas. But don’t think that your diploma is a magic key to success. It isn’t. Many a man who has graduated from college has been a dismal failure. Remember that book learning alone will not take you far. Your High School course has been of value only so far as it has helped to make you a more useful member of your community. To be useful you must possess two things: Mental power, and social power. The men who have been successful are men who have learned first of all to think effectively and to work with a mind that is active. They have learned, too, that it is necessary to regulate one’s actions and character so as to live and work in harmony with other people. Let each one of you ask himself: Have I learned to he alert, not absent minded; reasonable, not unreascnable; practical, not impractical; sensible, not foolish; deliberate, not hasty? Have I learned to be earnest, not indifferent; active, not passive; attentive, not inattentive? Have I learned to be prompt, not dilatory; thorough, not slipshod; orderly, not disorderly; saving, not wasteful? Am I self-reliant, confident, courageous? Am I generous, optimistic, democratic, noble-hearted, reverent ? Am I honest, not dishonest; frank, not deceitful; trustworthy, not untrustworthy; square, not unfair? Am I kind, thoughtful of others, respectful, sympathetic, courteous? If you cannot answer each of these questions in the affirmative, —43— Q U I N I A U L T you are seriously handicapped. Sit down and take stock. Find out where you are. Learn to be positive in your conduct; find your work, then work with a will; start things, don’t leave it always to the other fellow. Have ever in mind the Big Purpose of your life, then work, work, work! Thus can you develop into a useful citizen. II. E. II. The Quinault Staff, in behalf of tin Senior Class, wishes to express its gratitude to Miss Rupp and Mr. Hawley, who so kindly offered suggestions and judged material for this annual. The Staff also wishes to thank the other members of the faculty for their unlimited assistance in its production; and Mr. Messegee, who has taken all of our pictures free of charge. We express the deep regret of the Faculty and Student Body at the resignation of our friend and teacher, Miss Mollie Burnett. Miss Burnett’s sojourn in the Aberdeen High School, though not long, has given all who have been associated with her a keener sens of justice and sincerity. One and all wish her much happiness for the future. ♦ Not enough can be said to Miss Ilobi in showing our appreciation for the work she has done on the Senior play. She freely donated both her time and ability and deserves much praise and honor for her successful production. QUINIAULT STAFF (Top row)—Joe Keith.

The price of the Student Body tickets was advanced twenty-five cents but this did not keep over two hundred and fifty students from purchasing dollar and a quarter tickets. The student affairs have run smoothly due to the competency of the Board of Control. The members of the board of control were: Wm.

Irene Crary, secretary of the Student Body, acting as Secretary. The annual election held on May 12. to elect Student Body officers and Ocean Breeze Editor and Business Manager for the 1916-17 term, was the most spirited ever held since the organization of the student association. Officers for next year are: President, Don Lyons; Vice-President, Ed Edwards; Secretary, Mary Donovan; Treasurer, Eric Strommer; student members of Board of Control: Carl Anderson, Senior; m.

Q U I X I A U L T ...CfjemtStrp... And It Came to Pass CHAPTER I. D it was heralded throughout the land of the marriage of Miss Knott Poore, of a noble and a wealthy family, to one Robinson, of limited means. And it came to pass that on the twelfth day of the marriage thereof, Robinson spoke in a low voice to his wife, saying: “Sweetheart, I am a-weary of this travel, would you not that we settle down to the home we have And she answered, saying: “I, too, am a-weary and feign would remove to our dwelling, wherein thou mayest pursue thine chosen labors, and 1 may provide all manner of food for thee.” Thereupon did they retire to their home and Robinson did pursue his chosen occupation. But it fared differently with his wife, for, being come of noble birth she had not acquired the art of Kitchen Mechanics. And it came to pass that on the thirteenth day of the marriage thereof, in vain did she toil to provide suitable food. And the manner was exceedingly heavy, even like unto the metal called lead. For the germs in the leaven had been scorched, of which the wife knew not, for she was come of a noble and an wealthy family. CHAPTER II. Forty days and forty nights did Robinson fast, becoming a mere shadow of his former self. And on the morning of the forty and first day his voice did utterly leave him and he did retire himself to his couch. And it came to pass that on the forty and second day of this fasting a wise man called “Chemist” came into the house of this unfortunate twain. And he did place into the hands of Robinson’s wife a script containing many truths even unto the meagerest. of household duties. And therein was found the secret by which to leaven bread. —47— Q U I N I A U L T CHAPTER III. And it came to pass that on the noon-tide of the next day, Robinson’s wife did make an wholesome bread, even unto the leaven. I hereupon Robinson did eat of the wholesome bread until he was exceeding full, for he was a-lningered. Whereupon Robinson became his former self, and there was rejoicing in the household. And he spoke to his wife in a low voice so that none could hear and she answered in the words: “I should say.” Thereupon she wept softly and earressed him with great fervor, saying: ‘‘Be not a-feared, husband, for I have studied the chemist’s script, even unto the last word.” Moral: You may get by with the love stuff for a while, but house- hold chemistry counts in the end. LAWRENCE T. IlOPKINSON. Radium all recent discoveries there is none that has created as much interest as has that of radium. The discovery was made at. Paris in 1898, and is generally attributed to Professor Pierre Curie and Mme. Sklodowska Curie in collaboration with M. Bemont. This element has baffled the greatest scientists and has caused a revolution in the theories of Science. Radium is constantly giving off heat without itself getting colder, and without appreciable loss in weight. This phenomenon could only be explained by assuming that the radium atoms were disintegrating into smaller bodies, known as corpuscles or electrons. This assumption was contrary to the universally accepted atomic theory, that the atom is the smallest division of an element, and was much ridiculed at first by scientists. It is now, however, considered the most plausible solution of the Theories of Matter. In appearance radium is like common salt, but the resemblance is in appearance only. Tt is continually sending off rays which have a peculiarly penetrating power. These rays are named after the first three letters of the Greek alphabet—the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma rays. They have the power of penetrating everything—solids, liquids and gases—and will even go through several inches of steel plate. Radium is capable of destroying the germinating power of seeds. It causes the hair of mice to fall out and if the radium be placed close enough, the mice are paralyzed and killed. It also has a very dangerous effect on human beings, causing ulcers which are very slow in healing. Radium has the power of checking the growth of certain forms of life, such as larvae, which do not then pass into the chrysalis and insect stages, but remain larvae. It has a curious effect on young tadpoles as it brings about very abnormal conditions. It acts upon the chemical constituents of glass, paper and porcelain, changing them to a violet color. —48— QUINIAULT Although radium is a metal it has never been seen in the metallic state, as it is always found in combination with other elements. The most common salts are radium carbonate, radium sulphate, or radium bromide. Uranium is the ore from which it is usually extracted. Mine. Curie figured that from two tons of Uranium she obetained about three-fourths of a grain of comparatively pure radium chloride. Owing to the scarcity of this metal it has been difficult to make much progress in determining its properties. One-third of a grain of radium bromide is a very large quantity, and the experimenter is indeed fotunate who is able to obtain so lage an amount with which to work. If sulphide of zinc ore is mixed with radium it is made to glow brightly for an indefinite length of time. This quality of imparting radio-activity to other ores is very promising as a future means of illuminating without flame and with little heat. Radium has given encouraging results in the treatment of certain diseases. Many quacks have seized upon this fact to advertise fake cures for cancer, and have thus deceived the public. While some successful experiments have been performed along this line, and radium may in time be tised to cure such diseases as cancer, lupus, and eczema, no definite conclusion as to its value has yet been reached. In all of these experiments extreme care is necessary, as the elemnet is dangerous to handle. The results are frequently more disastrous than beneficial. It is predicted that when we find a little more of this substance to work with, discoveries will be made which will startle the whole civilized world, for radium is by far the most wonderful element that has yet been found. ...German... The Nightingale [IE PALACE of the Emperor of China was the most magnificent in the world, being entirely of fine porcelain, which was so fine and brittle that great care had to be taken in moving about. The gardens of the palace were filled with flowers of every color and description, but the most beautiful of these were the silverbells which hung together in such a manner that they could not be passed without notice. Small paths bordered by tall trees led into the woods. These paths sloped down to a deep, blue lake. The branches of trees stretched partly over this lake, and ships, when passing, sailed under them. It was in these woods and near to this lake that the nightingale lived. He sang so beautifully that even the poor fishermen stopped their work and listened, and all exclaimed, “Oh! how beautiful! Poets and visitors from all over the world came to see the Emperor’s palace, and all remarked of its beauty, but when they heard the nightingale they said, “This is the best of all.’’ One day the Chinese Emperor received a book from the Emperor —49— QUINIAULT of Japan. This book gave an account of the Chinese Kingdom and praised its beauty. The Emperor was very pleased and nodded his- head every now and then while reading, but when lie came to this sentence, “The nightingale is the best of all,” he was very much surprised, as lie had not known about this bird. lit called his steward and ordered a search to be made for the bird. With the help of a kitchen-maid the famous bird was found, and invited to sing before the Emperor that evening. He replied that he would with the greatest of pleasure. So in the evening the nightingale came to the castle to sing for the Emperor. The walls of the palace shone very brightly and beamed with thousands of golden lamps. Bright flowers decorated the halls and rooms and in the center of the great room was a golden armchair in which the Emperor sat, and near by was a golden pillar upon which the nightingale was requested to sit. The nightingale sang so beautifully and splendidly that the tears came into the Emperor’s eyes. The Emperor was so charmed that he wished the pleasure of presenting a golden slipper to the bird, to be worn around his neck. The nightingale refused, saying. “I have been fully rewarded by seeing tears come into your eyes.” One day a package was received by the Emperor, in which, when opened, proved to be an artificial bird resembling the nightingale, only it was much more beautiful. Around its neck was a ribbon upon which was written, “This bird is poor compared with the one of China.” This bird, when wound up, sang with such a sweet tone that the Emperor thought the birds could sing a duet. But when they began to sing they could not keep together, so the nightingale flew out of a window that had been left open. When the Emperor saw this he banished the bird from the land. All the people of the palace thought the artificial bird much prettier and they appreciated his songs more, as they could sing with him. But the poor did not appreciate the new bird and they said something was missing. After five years a great sorrow came over the land. The bird could sing no more for its machinery was broken and the Emperor lay at death’s door. Already a new Emperor had been nominated to take the place of the old. One day, when the Emperor was alone in his room, the nightingale came and sat on the window-sill and sang such beautiful songs of the woods and flowers that the extreme weakness of the Emperor passed away and he became stronger. The Emperor then decided to destroy the artificial bird, but the nightingale bade him not to. lie then begged the nightingale to remain with him. but the bird refused saying he would go back to his former home. After promising the Emperor that he would come ever so often and sing to him of the people of his kingdom, he flew away and the Emperor fell into a deep sleep. The next morning some of the members of the court came in to see the Emperor, whom they thought would be dead. Imagine their surprise when the Emperor, with a smile, said good morning to them. —Translated from the German, of Anderson’s Marchen, “Die Naehtigall,” by Julia C. Remmelmeyer. —50— Q i: I N 1 A U L T March twenty-ninth, nineteen hundred and sixteen. Der Deutsche Klasse of the A. II. S. presented to the general public Benedix’ play, “Eigensinn,” a good farce staged in the auditorium. Considering the fact that it was the first foreign play ever given in the eitv and the first to be staged without, a curtain, it afforded great interest, and was undoubtedly the greatest success ever undertaken by the school. Each member of the cast, which was skillfully coached by Miss Rupp, head of the German and English departments, was thoroughly at home in his or her own part and proved very successful amateur actors. The cast was composed of six members and the following were: Emma, a young married woman...........Julia Remmelmeyer Lesbeth, a maid...............................Elsa Bloch Katrina, Emma’s mother.....................Dorothy Belles Alfred, Emma’s husband ..................Henry Anderson Heinrich, a butler...........................Edwin TIobi Ausdorf, Katrina’s husband............Lawrence Hopkinson The scene of the play is laid in the breakfast room of Alfred’s home and the action opens with the entrance of the two servants. Heinrich is a slow, stupid young German in love with Lesbeth, a capricious, independent, stubborn young girl. They set the table and when the task is done Heinrich, satisfied, exclaims: “Thank Heaven, the table is set.” Lesbeth unconcernedly, answers “yes.” Heinrich wishes Lesbeth to repeat the phrase, but she refuses. Heinrich becomes angry and they have a serious quarrel. Lesbeth then breaks her engagement, and after her exit, we find that Heinrich is very deeply affected. Alfred comes in unobserved and is a witness to the scene, which amuses him greatly. When Emma arrives, Alfred tells her of the quarrel, and its cause, Alfred merrily commenting that his Emma would never act as Lesbeth. But Emma takes Lesbeth’s side. The discussion grows until it reaches the point where Alfred begs Emma to say, “Thank Heaven, the table is set.” She refuses on the ground that it would he childish. Then a scene is enacted between Alfred and Emma, similar to that of Hinrich and Lesbeth’s. Before Emma has dried her tears, Katrina and Ausdorf arrive. The quarrel is observed and the cause of it inquired. Ausdorf foolishly attempts to assert his authority over Katrina and asks her to say—• merely because he wishes it—“Thank Heaven the table is set.” Like Lesbeth and Emma, she refuses, and another quarrel arises. Alfred seeking peace, presents Emma a new shawl. She is not proof against this blandishment and relenting says, “Thank Heaven tin table is set.” Ausdorf also makes peace with Katrina in the same manner, and then the reunited couples induce Lesbeth to say, “Thank Heaven, the table is set.” —51— Q i; 1 N I A U L T The Commercial Course. accordance with the present trend of ideas along the line of vocational training for boys and girls, the Commercial Course has its place in our High School. This course offers to the pupil an introductory knowledge of business methods. The subjects offered in this work at the present time are bookkeeping, shorthand, typewriting, business correspondence and English. Commercial law and Commercial geography. The bookkeeping work presents the ordinary methods of bookkeeping accounts, and acquaints the pupils with a knowledge of business papers. Commercial Arithmetic corrolates, more or less, with the subject of bookkeeping, especially in the work in bank discount and in the subjects of interest and discount. A four semester course in shorthand and typewriting gives to the pupil who is ready to make a success of his studies, an ability to cope with any ordinary line of business dictation and typewriting in offices or other business lines, and provides a good foundation for more advanced stenographic positions. Letter writing and a practical knowledge of business English in our Commercial correspondence class; Commercial conditions of a country and its people in the Commercial geography class; and an introduction to the laws controlling business affairs in our Commercial law class, complete a brief summary of this course. The typewriting classes enrolling forty-three pupils for the first semester, and about thirty-five for the second semester, keep our machines clicking through the eight periods of the day. Some good records are being made, both for speed and accuracy. The best record is that of Ilarry Thomas who attained in one semester a speed of forty-three words net per minute, and who has already placed this acquirement to good commercial use. In the second semester several of the pupils are ready with good reliable work at a rate of forty to fifty words per minute. Considerable outside work has been done for the accommodation of tin office, teachers, supervisors, and pupils not taking typewriting. This work has been done by Elmer Shaker, Dorothy Borden. Sarah Ivana. Ada Vanucie, Mildred Hall, and Ernest Axland. Ernest Axland is also typist for the Ocean Breeze and for the Quinault for the second semester of this year. Edna Fagreus filled this position on the papers d - ing the first semester of tin year and assisted in the Principal’s office with typewriting and shorthand. Sarah Ivana performed a similar service in the office of the Superintendent. A basis for a passing-grade of thirty-words-net per minute is required at the end of one year. This corresponds with the requirements of schools in Portland; and in Seattle, Spokane, and other large cities of this state. Over 90% of the class have reached this requirement and a few have attained a speed between forty and fifty words. Last, but n°t least, we wish to say, accuracy—first, last and always—is the foundation upon which we aim to base all resvdts. —52— SHARKS ASHORE THE MAID OF ARTGLENDEE MY AMBITION SCHOOL DAYS MARJORIE THE FALL OF THE MONARCH MELTING OF MARIA A SCHOOL DAY In COPENHAGEN LAOCOON Q U I N I A U L T Sharks Ashore ROUCHIXG low along the horizon to the southwest of Panama, like a monstrous cat ready to spring, lay a great, ominous, black cloud of smoke. Only a very great fleet “en masse” could produce such a volume of smoke, and there were only two such fleets in the Pacific. One was that of the United States and the other was that of Japan. Lieutenant Rivers had flown up into the lonesome land of the upper atmosphere to test the climbing ability of his new Dunn-Sea- Plane. But now lie opened his throttle, advanced his spark, and flattened the parobolie curves of his wing surfaces till they shaved a mere tissue thickness off the sky. Thus the machine roared away toward the fleet at a speed of about 130 miles per hour. During all of the late Roosevelt-Japanese controversy of 1917 the whole navy of the United States had been collected in the Pacific Coast harbors and bays, at Seattle. Portland, San Francisco, San Diego and Grays Harbor to resist an invasion which was threatened in case certain colonization-concessions were not made in Mexico, in spite of tin Monroe Doctrine. As the multitude of toy ships became more distinct below him Rivers cursed the peace-at-any-price-theorists and those who had preached against preparedness. A cold chill that was not from the weather crept along his spine as he contemplated the awful significance of this powerful flotila drawn up on the sea beneath him. This awful, concrete materialization of the Yellow Peril, made it clear to him that, with Japanese trickery and evasion, they had made a mere feint at the California coast to get the United States to collect its fleet there to guard the cities. In reality, however, their plan was to creep stealthily upon the Canal and after capturing it to cross over to the Atlantic and attack the more important unprotected cities of the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. Before returning to report to Col. MeFarlan at Panama, he circled once over the fleet to make an estimate of its strength. But before he had finished 1iq was startled by a little puff of white smoke some distance ahead of him. Then numbers of them kept appearing above him, far below him and to each side. The acrid fumes from the explosions made him gasp. As the shells burst, the sound was drowned out by the horrible racket of his engine. Tugging at his ailerons to keep his machine upright in this aerial maelstrom, he had little time left to notice his proximity to death. Finally that happened which lie had expected. There was a sudden heave and pitch as a shell burst behind and below him. The observing glass shattered and pieces flew up in his face, letting the warm blood trickle into his eyes. Several holes appeared in the wings on either side of him. but as his controls were not injured, he gripped the wheel —54— QUINIAULT tijrht and hoped; not because he feared to die, hut because before him wavered the image of a face dear to him which stood out from all this nightmare of terror; the face of his sweetheart, Eleanor “Mac”, the daughter of the Colonel in charge of the garrison at Panama. Thus he kept his nerve, though it was his baptism of fire, and he did not forget to change his direction continually in order to spoil the aim of the little “skibi” gunners below. Soon lie was out of range of the “Archibald” guns on the ships. He had not gone many miles, however, when a Japanese Sea Plane slowly overhauled him on his right, whereupon the lone pilot began to open fire with an automatic pistol. Evidently the Japanese wanted their approach to remain a secret as long as possible, and acting on the ancient axiom that “dead men tell no tales” they sent this fast machine to make sure that the scout should not report their approach. Due to the rips in River’s planes, he could not make as much speed as the Jap, who soon drew ahead of him. “Then a thing occurred which so set askew the Lieutenant’s views of things that ho was, for a moment, quite non-plussed. The hostile aeronaut, with the true Samurai’s contempt for death, wheeled around and came full tilt for the front of the American’s machine. For a second he was dumb-founded, but, recovering from bis surprise in time he shoved his controls clear forward with his left hand, while with his right, he took steady aim and as the other machine passed over him he fired three shots in quick succession into the Oriental’s fuselage. Rivers leveled the machine into horizontal flight, and whirled on, glancing around to watch the other machine go hurtling down, as did Icarus, into the sea. “Poor nervy devil,” muttered the survivor as he turned to his wheel. Every minute each rent in the wings seemed to increase in size under the strain of the enormous wind pressure. Yet Lieutenant Rivers reported at headquarters at five o’clock, which was five hours ahead of the Japanese fleet. As he made a landing in the small lake near the Colonel’s quarters, Eleanor ran out to meet him. and, not having heard the guns of the ships some ninety miles away, she was not only horrified but shocked, by the wound in his forehead, as she exclaimed, “Nairn! you are hurt! What has happened! What’s the matter!” After reporting his urgent news he came out to where she was standing and explained the great dangers that beset not themselves alone, but their country. Just then lie heard a crackling of the wireless outfit and went in to hear the news. “What’s up! Sparks?” he ejaculated. As each letter came the operator set it down while the Lieutenant breathed heavily in suspense. After the message was translated from code it read: “S. S. Pennsylvania. “With four cruisers, four dreadnoughts, and three aeroplane tenders, we are steaming south off David Bay. Coiba Island sighted. Sailed under sealed orders from San Francisco. Are bound for Panama.” —55— q U I X I A U L T “Hooray,” shouted the operator. But young Rivers was not so enthusiastic. He knew that small number of warships would not stand a minute before the approaching hostile fleet. Furthermore the Japanese would drop anchor in Panama several hours before Uncle Sam’s vessels would arrive. “Take this message for the Pennsylvania besides the Colonel’s message”: “ Panama. “Notify all aero-supply ships to have machines, aviators No. 2 bombs ready within two hours. Muffle all lights on tin starboard side of all ships as the enemy is not far away. Lieutenant Rivers will he on hand to lead a raid as Ik; is Acting Flight Commander during the sickness of his superior.” Coming hack to his betrothed, he said, “Eleanor, yesterday I asked your father if lie would consent to our marriage, and he said, ‘No! Not while you are a mere scout-lieutenant. My daughter must marry a real soldier, not just a bird man.’ So,” said Rivers, “I want you to elope with me. You cannot stay here when these little slant-eyed devils take the place tonight; you must come with me as my wife.” As he was a man of determination, they were soon married by the military Chaplain and soared away on their honeymoon in One of the new, uninjured Dunn-Planes. Less than two hours later they landed safe alongside one of the great aeroplane supply ships, a little south of Coiba Island. There was some delay in getting the great flock of mechanical birds ready, with their powerful bombs. But when they finally started, they were a veritable swarm. But Mrs. Rivers was left safe on board one of the great floating fortresses, as the machines disappeared in the darkness. Due to the delay in getting started, they found the Japanese fleet had already captured the Canal with very little difficulty, and all hut three or four of the enemy’s ships had started through. There were about 150 of I ncle Sam’s planes and each one carried five bombs of the government’s secret explosive argonite. The squadron was divided into six divisions, eaeh lead by a lieutenant. To each was given a certain task. Rivers detailed his squad and one other to the Gatun Dam, power house and locks. The Miraflores locks were detailed to two other squads, while the Pedro Miguel locks were the object of attack by a third couple of divisions. On over the Miraflores locks, the Pedro Miguel locks, Culebra Cut, and Gatun lake, Lieutenant Rivers flew, following the paired channel lights of the Canal. The fleet was aware of the presence of the hostile hornets, for each ship waved its tentacle-like searchlight beams aloft to detect attacking planes. And whenever a feeler of light touched a machine for a second, a great shell sang aloft and hurst like a brilliant star. But the ships were not the direct object of the attack, so no bombs —56— QUINIAULT were wasted on them. When Rivers’ squad came to the Gatun Dam the real fireworks began. With a din that was frightful, bombs were dropped upon the Gatun locks, the gate to the spillway, the dam, and finally the power house disappeared in a great blast. This darkened tin channel lights in Gatun Lake, which made the enemy’s boats flounder into mudbanks and roek shoals. To increase their distress the water began to drain rapidly out of the broken locks, spillway gates, and gashes in the Gatun Dam. Lieutenant Rivers then flew back to the Pacific side, following the lights of the helpless ships below, now that the channel lights were gone. There was something pitiful about the helplessness of these great, powerful monsters as they feebly searched around with their big. bright searchlight eyes. They were like vicious and mighty sharks ashore; uninjured but floundering helplessly with nothing in range worth biting. Though Rivers realized what a prize this large navy was for Uncle Sam, as it doubled the naval strength, he rejoiced still more because he would at least be made permanent flight commander for the work of this day. Now Colonel MacFarlan would be glad to welcome him as a son-in-law. CHAS. RANKIN, ’1G. The Maid of Artglendee WILIGHT descended upon the world and the last ray of daylight faded behind the hills. In the dusk stood the Maid of Artglendee. Beside her, bold and fearless, was Robin, a dauntless youth. With his hand he gently caressed the coal-black hair of the girl, while he softly breathed her name. “But Sweet, ’twill be but a matter of days before1 thou and I are once more together, for I shall return and tell thee of the great world, and happiness and love.’ The maid sight'd and in a voice full of sorrow replied, “Go, Robin, if naught else will do, but well I know, it will be not only days. Go. and when thou art tired of thy roving, return to me. In yon window shall a candle burn during the long hours of the night, and I shall be waiting............Then go. Robin, go!” It is dusk and in the gloaming of departing day, sits the Maid of Artglendee. The years have been harsh. The hair, that was once so luxuriant and black, now shines white in the twilight. Time has not been idle. The face, once rival to the very rose of the forest, is now creased with many a wrinkle. A shout is heard from the distance and she starts. But no! It is only a herdsman returning with his flock. The maid resumes her waiting, and as the moon slowly rises from behind the hills, thoughts come of him who is afar, and tears flow freely on the faded cheek. Thus in the dark sits the girl, confident that he will return, and there she waits, and hopes, and prays. Such is the faith of the Maid of Artglendee! HELEN PAUL CHAMBERLAIN. —57— 0 U I N 1 A U L T My Ambition T has been suggested to me that I write down my principal ambitions. In consequence of this suggestion (or shall I say command?) you have here a written manuscript relating to the ambitions of one Levy Johnson, at present time student of Aberdeen High School. My greatest ambition and the ultimate goal of all my hopes is to become Czar of Russia. This will not be so difficult as one might think at first. For, if one stops and considers the past attempts made against the throne of Russia he cannot help realizing that they have bee nvery crude indeed. My plan for the consummation of my desire is different; it is original, it is modern, and in the end must surely win. I can give you here only a mere outline of this plan. Yet I fully believe that this alone will be sufficient to convince you of my ability and my genius. hirst, I shall secure the aid of several of the richest men of this country. With their money and my brains I could conquer the world. (By the way, I may decide to do this after I become Czar). Next I shall employ a number of competent young men, (about three thousand will be sufficient), who understand the Russian people. These young men must go to Russia and carefully stir up a spirit of rebellion among all the classes of the Russian people. When this spirit of rebellion lias reached the breaking point I will arrive, place myself at their head, and we shall sweep everything before us and I will, in a short time, find myself Czar of all Russia. However, for the present 1 think I shall have my hands full to get a passing grade in English. So while this latter ambition holds my attention the present Czar may rest in peace. LEVY JOHNSON, ’18. —58— Q U 1 N I A U L T School Days What is so rare as exemption from exams? Then if ever comes perfect bliss; The honored students are gentle as lambs; How condescending each one of them is. Now our heads are so full they can scarce keep from bursting, For all kinds of knowledge each student is thirsting. They can shut their eyes, but they cannot help knowing That exams are coming and cram days are going. The teachers come telling us all to he calm; That exams will pass with never a qualm. We cannot help thinking that this is not so For we realize fully how little we know. They tell us with many a kind, friendly look That in order to pass we must know tin whole book. We must know about Wordsworth, and Dryden, and Pope. And tell of how Barret and Browning eloped. We must know Queens Elizabeth, Victoria and Anne And tell about Marlborough all that we can. We must know of Napoleon and Cromwell—protector, And describe their characters clear as a reflector. We must know about men who were most athletic Of matter and energy—potential, kinetic; We must give forth Newton’s three laws of motion And illustrate each as we take the notion. Yes! Unhonored students, we sure are in Dutch. And fully we know that our learnin’s not much. But any way, let us brace up for the test. And trust to luck we shall do our best. —59— GLADYS GRIMES. ’16. Q U I N I A U L T Marjorie EORGE IIARPER, leaning over the railing of a boat, suddenly became aware of hearing the name “Marjorie called and then he heard a rustling of skirts behind him. Looking up, he saw a cabin door close upon a huge hat covered with red roses. Marjorie, what a pretty name! IIow tender and sweet it sounded! It was a nice name spoken, either fast or slow, gruffly or softly. It had always been a favorite name of his and it set him to wondering what this Marjorie was like. Several times he had noticed a merry party of young people on the other side of the passenger boat and it was obviously from this group that the call had come. All this had aroused his curiosity and he wondered how he could meet the young lady, for he was a stranger to all on board. It seemed hours until the boat ran along-side the crowded pier, and he was in no happy frame of mind. All thoughts of the unknown Marjorie with a hat covered with red roses vanished, however, when he saw his old friend, Dr. Robert Williams, his host for a few days, among the throng. Early the next morning while seated at breakfast, Mrs. McDougal, the housekeeper, entered. “A telegram, doctor,” she said. A shadow overspread tin handsome young doctor’s face and tossing it to one side lie said, apologetically: Sorry, George, but I 11 have to leave you. There is an important ease on at Ashburn and I’m wanted.” “Don’t trouble yourself about me, old man, I can take care of myself.” George Harper was never known to be at a loss for amusement for himself or for others. “You’ll find some diversion in a cage, I believe,” said the doctor, packing his hag. “But it is a crime that you have to be left alone on .vour first visit. There would be no use in taking you along for I’ll be busy all the time, and—I know what I’ll do!” He rushed to the writing desk and hastily wrote a few lines. Phis is an introduction to some friends of mine,” he explained, handing Harper a piece of writing paper. “They live at a place called Maplehurst. The Manchesters are kind people and you’ll feel at home in five minutes. Mrs. McDougal will give you directions. I’ll he back some time tomorrow.” Seating himself in his runabout he drove off. Later Harper hunted up Mrs. McDougal and in the afternoon left to call on the Manchesters. “This must be the side entrance,” he remarked, standing in front of a huge gate in a high stone wall, that evidently enclosed a garden. He knocked; naturally there was no response. His thoughts must —60— C Q U I N I A U L T have been far away or he would not have expected an answer to a knock on a garden gate. Then he opened it, and stepping in, he found himself in a large garden—park would be more appropriate. In one corner was a low, roomy bungalow. Maples were everywhere. He sat down on a bench to rest and wondered that the place was so quiet. Perhaps they had left for the day. The warm summer air made him drowsy and in a few moments he was asleep. In his dreams a girl, a very beautiful girl wearing a large hat covered with red roses, appeared. It seemed late in the afternoon when he awoke, but in reality it had been little more than half an hour. lie got up, stretched himself, and followed the path. The farther he walked the more inquisitive he became. He passed a dog lying asleep under one of the large trees. He reached the house and here again there was no answer to his knock. As though in a dream he opened tin door and entered. He found himself in a large living-room and, at first, thought it was empty; but when he turned around he saw a short, stout man, dozing in an arm-chair that was drawn close to an open window. His head was covered with a newspaper as a protection against the sun. In Harper’s desire to get out without being perceived, lie escaped through the nearest door. lie was in a much smaller room. A young woman and child were lying on a couch, “napping sweetly,” as Harper expressed it. “This seems to be the Sleeping Beauty’s palace. I wonder if I'll come across her?” As yet it had not occurred to him that he was trespassing on private property. Seeing the French windows open, he stepped out on a large piazza. No one was in sight. He walked around to the other side of tin1 house and here discovered another sleeper. A woman with a large hat pulled over her eyes was seated in a wicker chair. Harper drew back, for he recognized this to be the same hat he had seen on the boat. Surely no two hats could lie so exactly a counterpart of each other. On a table at her elbow lay a copy of Browning. Harper took, on a sudden, a great liking for this poet, and picking up the book he wrote on the fly leaf: “Accept this rose as a token of my admiration.” And from the buttonhole he took the rose which he had placed there. In the evening, thinking over his adventure, he was very glad that he had not been caught, but he was a trifle disconcerted at what Bob would think of him, so he decided to go to Maplehurst again on the morrow.” He had just stepped through the gate when he saw two women approaching. He had only time enough to notice that one of these women wore a large hat covered with red roses, before he stepped behind a tree. They seated themselves on a nearby bench. “I wonder who it could have been?” —61— (JUINIAULT Oh, shucks, Marjorie, most likely someone was trving to he funny.” At the mention of her name he said to himself, ‘‘I knew it.” “But why would anyone do a tiling like that if he didn’t mean it?” on don t mean to tell me you consider it anything other than a joke?” es. I do. I believe that it was some man who admires me greatly and I'll always be hoping to find him.” She was evidently not offended and Harper was glad that she had taken the compliment as he had intended it. 'I m sure you never will,” the other responded. They moved on toward the house and the last Harper heard was: “It must have been a mistake.” N hen he reached the house Williams had already returned and was at the door to meet him. When the doctor asked if he had made the call he remarked in an indifferent manner, that no one had been at home. That afternoon, for the third time, he left for Maplehurst, but this time his friend accompanied him. hen the two young men came in sight of the house they noticed a group of people seated on the piazza. A stout gentleman rose to meet them and after giving Harper a brief introduction Dr. Williams rushed up to a young lady, seized her hand and said. “How glad I am to see you, Marjorie!” How beautiful she was, thought Harper. But his hopes fell when Williams introduced her as his fiancee. “Aunt Marjorie, come and meet Mr. Harper,” the young lady said, and a tall, middle-aged woman, who looked sentimental, prim and precise. stepped up to greet him. lo Harper’s horror a wilted rose was pinned on her dress and she held a large hat covered with red roses. E. G. ’18. The Fall of The Monarch Countless ages the tree had stood, Braving the weather’s wildest raid. Proudest monarch of all the wood— Ruler of all that lie surveyed. Little he thought that a day would dawn When he. the mightiest one, must fall. He vaunted his vigor and strength and brawn And boasted dominion over all. But the passing years all left their scar: One stormy night came a mighty groan. And the wild winds bore the news afar— The monarch had fallen from his throne. SARAH EL WAY. ’17. —62— Q U I N I A U L T The Melting of Maria N TIIE little village of Appleton on a shady side street stood a large, square house. It was scrupulously protected from the street by a wire fence of tin type advertised as both useful and ornamental and which in reality produced an effect half way between that of a graveyard and a prison. The graveyard appearance was intensified by the arrangement of shrubbery in the carefully kept lawn where, on either side of the prim brick walk, stood a small tree, trimmed to a marvelous state of symmetry. The house itself was painted dull gray and with its blinds carefully closed, presented such a forbidding and inhospitable appearance that the protecting fence was altogether unnecessary. The atmosphere within was scarcely less chilly than without, especially in the presence of its owner and chief inmate, Miss Maria Billings. Miss Maria was fifty-two and never yet had a single male creature looked upon her and desired her for his own. Indeed in the days when Miss Maria’s attraction was such as appeals to men. circumstances had kept her a slave to an ailing relative. And when she was free to follow her own will, all her girlish charms had flown. Then she had grown more bitter, day by day. until she became a woman noted for her hardness and reserve. But Miss Maria was not the only inmate of tin big gray house. The other was a slim mite of a girl with fluffy hair and big gray eyes. This was Francesca. Upon the death of her artist father, unkind Fate had given this dainty child into the hands of Maria Billings. Not that Francesca ever lacked for food or clothing, but as Miss Maria had never understood her brother. Miles, so she never understood his child, and Francesca was hungry for the sympathy which she never received. In time she became a quiet mouse of a girl when in the vicinity of Miss Maria and the gray house, but once free from that influence she was the merriest of the village lasses in the little academy. At the time of this tale Francesca was sixteen and as fair and dainty as a flower. Many a lad cast thoughtful glances toward her and wondered. But Miss Maria did not approve of too much joy. Parties, even those where only girls were present, were unnecessary, but parties to which boys were invited were absolutely forbidden. To Miss Maria, hoys were wicked, useless creatures upon whom all proper young ladies would turn their backs. Francesca, however, did not agree with her. The Appleton Academy was a lively little school. In fact it was quite the liveliest institution in this rather sleepy, little town. The rising generation of “Appletonions” was strong of mind and body and bore promise of a brilliant future, and of all the young fellows n me were more promising than Malcolm McLean. —63— Q C I X I A U L T .Malcolm was scarcely handsome, but sturdy Scotch ancestors had left to him a heritage of fearless strength and boundless energy with which he fought his way to success again and again. And of all the lasses whom he knew, Malcolm McLean liked Prancisca best. He had liked her as a merry little playmate in the days of tag and blind-man’s bluff. Now came the day when he wished to take her to parties and frolics. He broached the subject one September afternoon and gazed at her in disappointed surprise when she refused and somewhat wistfully explained that Aunt Maria didn’t approve. She did not repeat that lady’s speech regarding the matter since she well knew the temper that went with red hair and shrank from hurting her friend. “Say, do you mean she won’t let you go at all,” queried the gentleman in question. “I'm afraid so, Mac,” she replied, mournfully. Then Malcolm McLean had squared his shoulders, thrown up his head and stated firmly: “You’ll he going to parties with me before Christmas, Franc.” Francesca smiled somewhat ruefully as she turned away. She knew Malcolm’s determination—but she also knew Aunt Maria. « Two weeks later and five o’clock of the first of October found Malcolm on his way home from football practice. Contrary to all his custom lie walked disconsolately, hands thrust deep in pockets, head bent. It was not the practice that was troubling him for never had he played better than that afternoon. In fact he had charged the line again and again with such vigor that the coach had watched him in amazement and wondered just bow much more reserve- force bis star halfback possessed. 1 ruth to tell. Malcolm bad been inspired by no desire to gain laurels. Those savage plunges bad been made with a mad desire to smash things, and the reason for all this was Miss Maria Billings. The night before he had gone to see Miss Maria to request in person that she allow him to be Francesca’s escort to a picnic. Miss Billings had been in bad humor all day and her temper had reached its height with the discovery that several daring small boys had wrought considerable destruction in her immaculate garden. And just when her anger was hottest against all creation and boys in particular. Malcolm had knocked at the door. Miss Maria opened it a wee bit and demanded what he wanted. Hat in hand, Malcolm stood before her, and with the most careful courtesy, made his request. “Miss Billings, I came to ask your permission to take Francesca to the picnic Saturday.” Miss Maria flung the door open. “Come in,” she said, and Malcolm stepped into the narrow hall. Then closing the door behind her. Miss Maria had turned and loosed upon the surprised lad her exact views' of the matter and her real opinion of boys in general. —64— Q U INI. A U L T On Malcolm’s face amazement gave way to the hard look of repressed anger. When Miss Maria stopped for want of breath, he stepped to tin closed door and standing with his hand on the knob, turned to the angry woman and said, steadily: “I believe that I understand, Miss Hillings,” and then he had gone quietly out. It might have consoled him somewhat as he tramped home in a white fury, had he known that back in the gray House Francesca was crying in sympathy. But that had been the night before and the last of his rage had been expended in the scrimmage. Now only one idea stood out in his weary mind. lie would have tin pleasure of taking Francesca at any cost. All the next day lie was very thoughtful and in the evening he set out and tramped across the village. 11 is destination was a small house set in an apple orchard. Here dwelt Mr. Leonidas Rice, a jolly bachelor of sixty years. A kind-hearted man was Mr. Rice, and he had a host of friends among the small boys of the village. Malcolm well remembered the days lie had spent fishing with Uncle Lon. Now he approached somewhat diffidently and answered his host s hearty greeting. “Well, what can I do for you?” demanded the old gentleman. Malcolm seemed slightly embarrassed, but suddenly turned and began to speak. “Uncle Lon, you’re a mighty good sport and you’ve done a good deal for me. I wonder if you’ll help me out now?” Mr. Rice smiled broadly as he replied, ‘ ‘ W( 11 —what’s wa nted ? ’ ’ Then Malcolm told his tale of disappointment and defeat. “She’s just a sour old woman who’s never been liked by any man and she thinks all fellows are no good,” he concluded. “But I like Franc and I’ll keep my word to her and all tin old maids in the world can’t stop me.” Uncle T-on looked at the boy who sat very straight in his anger and determination. “Looks to me like it’s Miss Maria’s prejudice you’ll have to get rid of.” he remarked. “That’s just it,” cried Malcolm, “and I want you to do it for me.” “Me!” “Yes. couldn’t you—er—kind of—er—be sweet to her? O you know—make her think you like her.” And Malcolm, much perturbed, got up and paced the floor nervously. Mr. Rice eyed him in amazement and then slowly he began to smile. Then he laughed. Loud and long he laughed and then turning to the flushed and anxious Malcolm, he gasped: “I’ll do it. by Jinks, I’ll do it.” And thus it came about that Mr. Leonidas Rice appeared at the grey house one evening, in gala attire. 11 is reception was chilly, to say the least, but he had known Maria Billings as a girl and holding that image before his mind lu remained for an hour, discussing the QUINIAULT weather. The next time In called he stayed a bit longer and finally to the unbounded amazement of the village he began to carry to her bunches of flowers. “Uncle Lon,” declared Malcolm, “you’re the best friend a fellow ever had. You have my heartiest sympathy, but keep up the good work and pass me the word when it’s safe for me to try again.” It was tin first of December when one evening, Malcolm again appeared at the grey house. If he was nervous In gave no sign for he remembered Uncle Lon’s words: “You go about ten minutes ahead of me,” he had said, “and you'll be safe.” So Malcolm knocked valiantly at the door. Miss Maria heard the knock and immediately flung it wide open. “0—” she stepped back, “I thought it was L—er—Mr. Rice,” she murmured. Malcolm gripped his cap hard. “Miss Billings, may I come in and talk to you for a moment?” he asked. “Why, yes, ’ she replied, and led the way which In had a full view ot the door and hallway, sat down and began to converse concerning the weather. Miss Maria eyed the clock anxiously as she answered his polite ventures. Mr. Rice was to come at seven-thirty and he was always most punctual. Why had that young fellow taken that particular chair? It was seven-twentv-nine by the clock when Malcolm abandoned subterfuge and came to the point. Miss Maria. I came to ask your permission to take Francesca to the Party tomorrow night,” he said. The clock struck half past. ( ertainly, said Miss Maria. Malcolm rose to liis feet, stirring to keep the laughter from his voice. “Thank you very much.” lie murmured, “and now, good evening,” and he passed out. As he went down tin path, he met Mr. Rice going in. I ncle Lon. you succeeded, she’s consented and now vou can cut . as soon as you like. You’ve sure played the game.” “Yes,” said Uncle Lon, and that was all. Malcolm heard the door open and close. “Here’s hoping the good old chap gets out of it all right,” he chuckled. But as lie turned to latch the gate, he stopped, and his jaw dropped. I here silhouetted against the door glass was a scene unmistakable in meaning. “Gee—whizz,” murmured Malcolm, “see what I’ve done.” MARION CRARY, ’17 66— Q U I X I A i; L T A School Day In Copenhagen UR school was situated in the suburbs of the capital city of Denmark in a narrow, crooked street. The two great school houses were very plain and simple. Between these two buildings, four stories high, was a large, square yard, with fruit trees along the two sides and in the very middle was an old pear tree under which we were allowed to eat our lunch in the summer time. While walking up the gravel path Gerda looked up at the fruit trees in bloom and said : “We shall have many plums and pears this year, judging by all the blossoms. ’ ’ “The wind will blow most of the fruit oft' and she (the lady principal) will pick the rest of it before the 27th of August, when school opens again,” said Ellen, who was always seeing the dark side of everything. But Gerda was not to he discouraged and answered: “Then we will get some of the summer pears from that big tree in the yard before vacation. They will surely he ripened by the 7th of July.” We hurried on into the school house and down into the basement of one of the buildings where we held our gymnasium classes. Five minutes later we were all whirling around in our dark-blue athletic suits, some of us dancing old-fashioned dances and some of us trying the modern ones. Ellen was a very “Puritanic” type of girl and it was quite laughable to see Gerda insist on teaching her the new steps. The bell rang and Mrs. Thomsen entered the room. We stopped our dance immediately and took our places. Inside of a minute no one would have recognized the merry dancers in these solemn-looking groups of girls standing as stiff and solemn as soldiers ready to die for their country. We were divided into troops: one troop having floor exercises, such as high and broad jumping, sprinting and hurdling; the other group occupying themselves with the bar, horse, ladders, ropes and trapeze. At ten minutes to nine the bell rang again and we had just four minutes to change our clothes and one minute to fix our hair and then we marched into the auditorium, where the five hundred girls, of which our school was composed, held their morning religious service. After the service was finished we went to our class room on the fourth floor. As we tramped along, one of the girls said that she had a letter from a cousin of hers who was going to school in America, and that her cousin had told some of the most interesting things. It seems that the students go to the teacher in the American High School, instead of the pupils staying in one room all day and having the teachers come to them. During the ten minutes between classes we were made to go down —67— Q U I N I A U L T in the yard, unless it rained, in which case we walked up and down the hall. Our room was a good sized room, with three large windows covered with embroidered curtains. Reproductions of great artists hung on the walls and there were always many plants and flowers in the room. Next came mathematics, after which we were allowed fifteen minutes for lunch. Because we were Seniors, we were allowed to go into the kitchen and make tea. After lunch we recited Geology, Danish and Religion; and at two o’clock we were dismissed. —HELGA WUNSCH. Laocoon “Behold, from the Isle Tenedos through the tranquil deep, 1 tremble to recall, twin serpents with immense coils Are seen breasting the sea, and side by side, approach the shore; Their breasts amid the waves upreared, and crests, Blood-red, o’er-top the billows; the rest behind them Skims the deep and rolls in many a fold their monstrous backs. The salt sea splashes with foam; already they had reached the fields. Their gleaming eyes suffused with blood, with darting tongues They lick their hissing faces. We scatter, terrified at the sight; in unswerving course They make for Laocoon; the first encircling the bodies Of the two small sons, the other enfolds and preys upon the pitiable limbs with fangs; Next, the father, as he comes to help, weapon in hand They seize and hind with three gigantic coils; and now Twice embracing him about the waist, twice winding their scaly backs around his neck, They o’ertop his head and lofty shoulders. At once he struggles to tear apart the knotted coils, With fillets drenched with black and bloody gore, As he raises horrible cries to the heavens; Cries like the bellowing of a bull, when wounded it flees the altar, And from its neck shakes out the ill-aimed axe. But the twin serpents, with gliding motion escape to the highest shrine, And seek the citadel of the cruel Minerva. Under the feet of the goddess, under the disk of her shield they hide. Then, in truth, trembling, a strange fear steals o’er the hearts of all And they say Laocoon has expiated his punishment of crime as he served, For having pierced the sacred oaken-horse with the javelin. For having hurled the impious spear at the body.” —Translated from Virgil’s Aencid, by R. W. ’16 —68— q U I N I A U L T Contrary to all predictions the turn-out for the football squad of 1915 proved more favorable than was expected. Four men of the 1914 team and several former Cosmopolis players formed a nucleus, around which Coach Hawley built a fine team. However, his excellent results were not won without several weeks of faithful practice and encouragement. With improvements upon Stewart Field, election of Yell-leaders Keith and McKenna, and a rip-roaring parade, the football season was on. The spirit shown was a credit to the school and the attendance at the games was improved, due partly to the increased sale of student body tickets. Business men and former A. II. S. students, as well as Coach Hawley and members of the team, frequently spoke at the assemblies. Manager Halferty secured games with as many schools as possible in this state and several Oregon schools. Representatives on the chosen team from the class of 1916 were: Emil Carlson, Edwin Hobi, Gus Adams, Harold Ingebritzen and Henry Anderson. A. II. S.—19 ALUMNI—7 On September 18th the High School played its first game with the Alumni. On a dry field both teams put up a hard fight, neither scoring in the first half. Forward passes were used extensively and many weak spots were revealed to Coach Hawley. Ira Blackwell proved himself star on the Alumni team, Pinckney and Hugo being the best performers for the High School. A. H. S.—14 JEFFERSON (Portland)—0. For the third time in the history of the two schools, Aberdeen met and defeated Jefferson High of Portland, on September 27th. At first, the game was very fast but after a while it slowed down. Only once did Jefferson make yardage and it was on a forward pass that time. Mac Maurice, a former Aberdeen student, was on the Jefferson team. The local team showed marked improvement over their first game, Capt. Pinckney and Lyons making the greatest yardage. In the evening an informal dance was given in honor of the two teams by Company G in the Armory. A. II. S.—7 H. H. S.—10. For the first time in over a year we met our neighbors to the west of us. After much debating it was decided to bury the hatchet and a —69— Q U I N I A U L T contract for a practice game was signed for Oct. 9th. In the contract it was agreed that Aberdeen play Hoquiam at Hoquiam with regular line-ups, while Aberdeen was to keep Keil and Lyons out of the Thanksgiving Day game. Also Hoquiam stipulated that the game was to be merely a practice affair and was to have no bearing on the championship standings of the teams. The game was played on a rough cinder field, the interest and yelling keen on both sides. The first half ended 10 to 0. In the second half Henry Anderson, who had not turned out at the first of the season, replaced Elliot at quarter. Through a pass from Hugo to Carlson, Aberdeen’s only touehdown was made. Time was called with Aberdeen in possession of the ball on Hoquiam’s ten-yard line. During the game Aberdeen made 250 yards to Hoquiam’s 147. and were penalized 150 yards while Hoquiam only lost 10 yards in this way. A. H. S.—12 ASTORIA—0. Aberdeen played the Astoria High School football team for the first time at Astoria on October 16th. With many exciting experiences en-route the team arrived in Astoria Saturday morning to defeat the Oregon State champions. Probably a little over-confident in their strength the Oregon players went on the field determined to defeat the Washington team. On a dry, fast field, after a few minutes of play it was easily seen that, neither team would run up a big score. During the last part of the second quarter, Capt. Pinckney went over the line for Aberdeen’s first touch down. At the beginning of the third quarter, Aberdeen’s second touchdown was made. The Astoria aggregation appeared heavier and its baekfield swifter, but through machine-like action the Washingtonians were better able to win. Every courtesy was extended our men by the Astoria people. A. II. S.—12 IJ. OP W. FRESHMEN—0 Coach Hawley and Manager Phil Halferty secured a practice game with the University of Washington Freshmen for October 23rd. Neither team scored in the first three quarters of a hard and exciting game. On account of a wet field forward passing could not be used advantageously. By several line-bucks and end runs the High School managed two touch downs before the game was finished. Final score 12-0. That evening Company G gave another dance, in honor of the two teams, in the armory. A. II. S. 12 DALLES (Ore.) 10 In defeating the Dalles High School football team the Aberdeen High School gained a stronger place for claiming the Northwest Championship. Witnessed by one of the largest crowds ever gathered on Stewart’s Field the game was one of the hardest and closest fought of the season. Most of the business houses of the city closed for tin game. During the first quarter the Aberdeen team averaged four plays to the minute. This is almost a record for fast play. Through a blocked punt and an end run by Lyons, Aberdeen, scored a touch down. The first half ended 6 to 3 in favor of the A. II. S. Steer’s remarkable punting averaged 48 yards to a kick for the Oregon team. The second half started with a burst of speed and after —70— QUINIAULT a run of 55 yards by Keil for an Aberdeen touch down The Dalles team seemed to pick up some speed. The last touch down was made by The Dalles team, the game ending 12-10 in Aberdeen’s favor. Company G again aided us in entertaining our visitors, by a dance in the armory. Referee Schildmiller said that this was the fastest game of football he A. H. S. FOOTBALL TEAM 1915 —71— Q U I N I A U L T had ever witnessed in the East or West. The game was marked throughout by the gentlemanly and sportsmanlike conduct of the players of both teams. A. II. S. fi COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 7 With but two games left to play in the 15)1”) season Aberdeen met and was defeated by Columbia University of Portland. The game was the roughest of the season. More time was taken out for injuries in this game than in all the other games played. Don Lyons made Aberdeen’s only touchdown in the first five minutes of play but missed the goal from a difficult angle. From that time until the final whistle Columbia held the High School from scoring, frequently trying forward passes from wide spread formations. By a touchdown scored from a long pass, and a goal-kick, they scored one more point than did the High School men, although the latter made the greatest yardage during the game. Again Company G entertained the teams in the armory with a dance. A. H. S.—0 H. H. S.—0 Preceded by a spirited rally the Aberdeen men met their ancient Hoquiam rivals in the annual Thanksgiving day game at Electric Park. The Aberdeen squad, minus two of their most able players, Lyons and Keil, declared ineligible by Hoquiam ruling, went to the field determined either to win or keep Hoquiam from scoring. Too much praise can not be given Coach Don Hawley for the way he handled the unfair situation and his capability in selecting second team men to fill the vacancies left by Lyons and Keil. One of the players sick with pneumonia and another breaking his ankle in the first quarter, made things look dull for for the Aberdeenites, yet every member of the squad was determined to keep the Blue and Gold on top at any cost. Hoquiam won the toss and Aberdeen kicked-off. On the kick-off Ernest Axland broke his ankle and after finishing the quarter in that condition had to be taken from the field. Aberdeen made three times the yardage Hoquiam did and while our goal was only endangered once. Aberdeen had the ball on or past Hoquiam’s 15-yard line fourteen times. The field was wet and the ball slippery making forward passing impossible. Silent signalling was used but Coach Hawley’s new passes could not be used on such a field. Pinckney was a tower of strength and broke up every Hoquiam play. Due to fumbles and shortness of time the game ended a scoreless tie. With four minutes to play Aberdeen had the ball on Hoquiam’s 5-yard line, but failed to make first down by one foot. Hoquiam punted to the 50-yard line and in the remaining two minutes the desperately —72— QUINIAULT fighting Aberdeen captain brought the ball back to the 12-yard line on a series of end runs. Here the game ended and saved Hoquiam a sure defeat. Had there been one more minute to play, Aberdeen would surely have scored. The Aberdeen team outfought and outplayed their rivals although seriously crippled by the loss of Lyons and Keil. the accident to Axland, and Hobi’s sickness. The game was the hardest fought contest ever seen in Aberdeen. The Aberdeen boys played desperately and every member of the team covered himself with glory, ('apt.. Pinckney was a lit leader, and made almost superhuman efforts to win. The business men of Aberdeen showed their appreciation for the team’s attitude toward and play against Hoquiam, bv a large banquet the following night. SECOND TEAM FOOTBALL The second team did not play a very extensive schedule this year owing to mix-ups in the dates with Montesano and Lima. 'They were out every night to practice against the first team, however, and were no small factor in its final success. They worked solely for the good of the first eleven, sacrificing their own ambitions to make the big team better. The second team had very little opportunity to develop any team work, due to the constant shifting of players, required to give the first team the necessary practice. Only two games were played, both with the Elma first eleven. In the first contest, played at Elma, the boys were over-confident and deserved the beating they received—26-0. A week later they had an opportunity to redeem themselves in another game played here. The seconds were supposedly weakened by the absence of several players, and were considerably lighter than in the former game. However, they showed a real fighting spirit and played their heavier opponents 7-7 in a fast game. Ed Green, midget Q. B. was the star of the game. Mr. Leonard deserves the thanks of the student body for his work in coaching the second team. He was on the field every night, willingly devoting his ability and time to help make a successful team. The men receiving 2nd team A’s were Dewey Godfrey (Capt.L Ed Green. Linn, Ilinman Harris, Douglas McKenna, Joe Penn, Rankin, and Ilalferty. MIDGET FOOTBALL The midgets under the leadership of Roy Peterson, Captain, had a very successful year. Duff Millette as coach developed a very fast team, which excelled especially at forward passing. Out of five games only one was lost, this to the heavier Broadway Hill team by the small score of 2-0, and more than made up for by a previous 26-0 victory. The scores of the various games were as follows: Midgets 13 vs. Franklin 0 Midgets 0 vs. Broadway Hill 2 M idgets 26 vs. Cosmopolis 0 Midgets 26 vs. Broadway Hill 0 Midgets 1 vs. Y. M. C. A.—F rfe —73— Q I I N I A U L T The men receiving third team A’s were as follows: Peterson (Capt.), Pinckney, Cross, Allen, Blackburn, Anderson, Gibson, Austin, Kelts, Harris, Arnold, Pearson, Axland.

At the present time the prospects for next year seem to indicate that Aberdeen High School will be represented by a team capable of upholding the reputation established by previous elevens. Of this year s letter men Captain Axland. Lyons, Keil. Ingebrigtsen, Win. Anderson, Hugo, Carl Anderson and Elliott, will all be back again. With their year’s experience they should all be much more valuable than this season. With Axland at quarter-back, and Lyons, Keil, Anderson and Elliott in the other positions, a fast and experienced backfield will be ready at the start. The end positions will he well taken care of. Hugo will be bigger and more experienced than last year, and no concern need he felt about his extremity of the line. For the other end several men are available. Edwards has the weight and speed to make a fine end. Godfrey. Ilerren and Harris of the second team, are also available. For the tackle positions Andy will surely be back. Don Breakiron may be in school again and he has everything to make a good tackle. Levy Johnson thinks now that he will not be able to be here but he is a man we need and everyone in school should try to persuade him to return. For guards we will have little Liz Ingebrigtsen, and he will be good next year, Hook, Turk, Carpenter and several other huskies already in school. At center Hinman Harris should make a good bid for the position. In addition to these men Conners, Slover, Armkurst, Hendricks and Essen will all be in school, having finished all the work offered in Cos-mopolis High School. All of them have had football experience. From Franklin School. Shirk. Callison and Randolph will enter High School. Other High School men who have signified their intention to turn out are Vammen, Kolts, Gibson and several others. Several men from outside schools have moved to Aberdeen, and expect to he in school in the fall. Also with the growth of industry on the Harbor, new families are sure to come this summer and one or two good men should be made available in this way. With an excellent quarterback in Captain Axland, a fast backfield, a good punter and passer in Lyons, and men to fill most of the line p vifions, and indications point to a fast, though lighter than average, team. —75— Q r I N I A U L T JfootfjaU dDfftcns TED BRACH VOGEL, PHILLIP HALFERTY, ERNEST AXLAND, Manager-elect. 1916 Manager. 1915 Captain-elect, 1916 RANKING OF 1915 TEAMS. Aberdeen’s 1915 football team was easily one of the best in the Pacific Northwest. The schedule played was probably the hardest followed by any of the high schools. The best teams in Washington were Aberdeen, Iloquiam and Everett. Iloquiam defeated Everett at Everett. Everyone who saw Aberdeen, in its weakened condition, so decisively outplay Iloquiam on Thanksgiving Day, conceded the fact that the Aberdeen team was much superior to Iloquiam, and the best team in ashington. It is to be regretted that Aberdeen was unable to secure more Washington games, but the fault does not lie with us, as the local management made every effort to secure such games, and only turned to Oregon after repeated failures to schedule contests with near-by schools. ( olumbia I Diversity, Albany, Salem, and The Dalles were the premier teams of Oregon and ranked on a par. Columbia managed to win from Aberdeen 7-ti but they had previously been defeated by a weaker team and so their title is no clearer than ours. The Dalles team was defeated after a hard struggle. Astoria, defeated on their home grounds, was a contender for state honors, and Jefferson High was one of the strongest Potland teams. The I Diversity of Washington freshmen team had defeated several ashington high school teams before they fell before the locals. hile no one could claim a clear title to tin Northwest championship. Aberdeen’s claim must be recognized as equal to any other team’s. For the State title Aberdeen and Iloquiam are technically tied, with the advantage all our way. COACH DON HAULLY Q U I N I A U L T THE CUP. The Cup, presented to the Aberdeen 11 i jrli School Student Body in 1913 by fifty business men of Aberdeen in appreciation of the spirit and success of the championship teams of 1910 and 1913, now has the names of seventeen football men of the 1915 team engraved upon it. No greater honor could be bestowed upon an athlete than to have his name placed on this handsome trophy. It will remain in the school and the names of the members of all future championship teams will be engraved upon it. making a permanent record of their deeds. It has been suggested that a glass case be made to protect this valuable possession along with several smaller cups won in basketball and track. No doubt this suggestion will be carried out within the coming year. The State championship teams and the names of the players on the Cup are: 1910 Coach—S. L. Moyer. Captain—B. Glidden, Right End.

At the first turn out it was seen that the team would be composed of nearly the same men that played upon the ’16 team, Interclass Champions of last year. Lyons and Carlson, while without much experience at the game, picked it up rapidly, and soon made places for themselves. Carl Anderson, of last year’s Freshman team, made up for his small size with speed, and soon showed himself entitled to a first team position. The team was entered in the Grays Harbor Basket Ball League. This was composed of Hoquiam Y. M. C. A., Aberdeen Moose, Naval Militia. Aberdeen High School, and Company G, the teams finishing in the order named. The leading four teams were very evenly matched and many very close games resulted. The high school team was unfortunate in being on the small end of several scores which differed by one or two points. Just a little more luck would have placed them in a far better position at the finish. Everyone on the team worked hard, and at least established a reputation as tin hardest playing team in the league. In nearlv every game they showed superior team work, but lacked accuracy in basket shooting. Only two interscholastic games were played, both of these being with Hoquiam. In the first game at Hoquiam, after a very even first half, the team went to pieces and lost 20-42. The second contest in the home gym was very close. The score was tied in the first, half and Aberdeen led until the last 30 seconds when two fouls gave the game to Hoquiam. The men making their letters were as follows: (’apt. Adams.

Each class was represented by a team. At the interclass games the Juniors won the championship. After the class games had been played, a first and second team were formed. The second team was rather successful, defeating Hoquiam after having been defeated by Hoquiam and they also defeated the Franklin team by a large score. Throughout all of the games individual play was excellent.

S. vs. HOQUIAM HIGH. The first regular game of the basketball season was played Tuesday evening, February 15, with our old rival, Hoquiam, on home territory. The first half ended with the score 7 to 5 in our favor. Then our second team was given the opportunity to show its skill. The game was fast and interesting, and the desire of both teams to win was so keen that excitement was at its highest pitch when the time was called. On account of a tie of 9 to 9. the contestants were given fifteen minutes to make a decisive victory, but both sides were on the defensive and so neither was able to gain the advantage. HOQUIAM HIGH vs. A. II. S. On Monday, February 27, the Aberdeen girls boldly crossed over into Hoquiam territory. Tin Aberdeen girls being unaccustomed to the gymnasium. were somewhat slow in the first half of the game, which ended with the score of 4 to fi in favor of Hoquiam. In the last part of tin1 game Aberdeen had a little more “pep” and at the end of the game the score stood 6 to 7 in our favor. A. II. S. vs. ELM A HIGH. On Wednesday evening, March 15. the Elma High School girls played (he Aberdeen girls at the High School gym. At the end of the first half the score was 7 to 7 ■ in the last part of the game Tessie Osborne, Elina’s star player, shot basket after basket, so at the end of the game the score was 35 to 14 in Elina’s favor. After the game the Aberdeen girls entertained the Elma girls at the home of Ruby Cross. ELMA HIGH vs. A. II. S. The last game of the season was played in Elma on March 25, the girls going to Elma in automobiles. The first half of the game ended —82— QUINIAULT with the score of 4 to 4. The Aberdeen girls played a hard game, hut in spite of this, Elma scored high through the skill of their star player, so that the game ended with the score of 15 to 7, again in favor of Elma. After the game the Elma girls served a lunch and the rest of the evening was spent in dancing. Much of tin credit for a successful season must be given to Mr. Hudson. lie sacrificed a large amount of time and labor in coaching the teams, and the girls wish to express their appreciation of his work. INTERCLASS BASKET BALL. The Interclass basket ball games resulted in a series of surprises. In nearly every case the team picked to win was defeated. After all the regular games were played tin Freshmen and Juniors wre tied for first and the Seniors and Sophs for third. The Freshmen won the last game and tin championship by the score of 17-10. In addition to the regular Interclass series, each team played two games with the corresponding team from Hoquiam High School. This competition resulted in some fast and well played games. The results were nearly an even break between the two schools. Games were also played with Cosmopolis High School and the Franklin School. Second teams represented every class but the Seniors. The Fresh, second team easily defeated tin others, with the Junior seconds next and the Sophs last. The Midget team was composed of boys under 110 pounds. They played several games with larger teams and while they did not win, they made a surprising showing when their size is considered. The scores of all the games were as follows: INTERCLASS Juniors—19; Freshmen—15 Freshmen—17; Sophomores—16 Sophomores—15; Seniors—10 Sophomores—16; Juniors—21 Juniors—10; Seniors—24 Freshmen—1 ; Seniors—0 Fresh—17 ; Junior—10 SECOND INTERCLASS Freshmen—20; Juniors—1 Freshmen—8; Soph—18; Junior—19 MIDGET GAMES Midget—15; 2nd Franklin—10 Midget—14 Midget— 5; 1st Franklin—17 Midget— 8; Sophomores—2 Hoodlums—17 Hoodlums—20 HOQUIAM CLASS GAMES A.

In 1913, we were not represented by a team; in 1914 our entries took less than a dozen points; last year we nearly won out, but now at last we have a team which is second to none in tin county, and which would make a creditable showing in competition with any state school, judging from the records. Captain Ilobi’s jump of 5 feet 8 inches would win anywhere; Wilson has done 11 feet in the pole vault; Edwards and Lyons have both run the 100-yd. dash in 10 1 5 seconds, and are correspondingly fast in the 50, 220 and 440. Edwards puts the 12-pound shot 42 feet. Hinman Harris, without being pushed, has run the mile in 5 minutes, 11 seconds, on a slow track. All of these records compare favorably with the best state scholastic marks. In addition we have enough good men in all events to make a well balanced team. Interest in track is growing fast in the school and town and next year should be even more successful. Although Captain Hobi and Wilson cannot be replaced, several new men of great promise are developing fast. With increased interest in the school, and a larger number of men turning out every year, we should, in the future, always have good teams. The grammar school and midget meets are also doing much to develop good athletes, and many of these will represent the High School in the next few years. The first meet of the season was the indoor interclass contests to determine our entries for the Armory Indoor Meet. Captain Hobi was unable to be present, and after a close contest, the Sophomores won out. No startling records were made, but the number of entries was fairly large and interest in track work was started. Edwards for the Sophs, and Dewey Wilson of the Seniors, were the best point winners for their teams. The Juniors were third and the Freshmen finished last, their only points being three, made by Ed Green in the rope climb. The annual Armory Indoor Track Meet, held under the auspices of Co. G, was the next meet in which our team was entered. All the organizations on Grays Harbor were invited to enter teams and four were represented: Co. G. Iloquiam Y. M. C. A., Moose, and Aberdeen High School. From the start the leaders were the Y. M. C. A., and High School, the result not being determined until the last event, the three niile run. Honors were even until this time, and it was seen that the winner would secure the indoor championship and the first prize cup —85— QUINIAULT for his team. Hinraan Harris had not intended to enter such a long run. but as he was in good condition from a month of preliminary work, he hastily put on a borrowed track suit and started. Bockover, of IIo-quiam, was regarded as a sure winner, and Harris’ chances not even considered, so the surprise and joy of the High School rooters was great, when he proved a dark horse, and won by several minutes. This gave the A. H. S. 42 points to the Y. M. C. A.’s 40, with Co. G and the Moose finishing in the order named. The events were as follows: 15-yd. dash—Kensel, G; Blair. H.; Edwards, A. High kick—Burger. A.; McKenna, A.; Messegee, M.; Cook,.G. Basket shooting contest—Arnold. A.; Narrance, H.; C. Anderson. A. Hope climb—Three places to Hoquiam. High dive—Marrs, H.; Turk. A.; Wilson, A. High jump—Hobi, A.; Marrs, II.; Burger, A. 3-Mile run—Harris. A.; Bockover, II. Spud race—Cook, G.; Narrance, II.; E. Anderson, A. Broad jump—Kensel, G.; Cook. G.; Marrs. II. GRAYS HARBOR TRACK AND FIELD MEET. This is the second annual event of this character held by Aberdeen High School. Invitations to compete were issued to Co. G, Naval Militia, Y. M. C. A., Moose and the Hoquiam, Montesano and Elma High Schools. Entries were received from the Montesano and Hoquiam High Schools, so a good line on the county meet was obtained. Aberdeen proved to he an easy winner, getting 61 points to Montesano’s 34 and Hoquiam’s 9. The feature of the meet was Gobi’s high jump of 5 feet 8 inches, a new county record. Edwards did great, work, winning the 50, 100. 200 and 400-vard events, the shot put, and taking second in the discus throw. Bockover was the Hoquiam star, and Irwin and Tuttle did the best work for Montesano. A fair crowd was present and showed much interest. Many of the events were very closely contested. Another trophy cup was added to our collection by this victory. GRAYS HARBOR COUNTY MEET. The annual meet to decide the Grammar and High School championship of Grays Harbor County, was held at Elma. May 6, under the auspices of the Elma High School. Medals were awarded to first place winners, and individual point winner, and a large banner to the winning school. In the morning the Franklin Grammar School, of Aberdeen, won a very close and interesting meet by two points, the result being decided by the relay race. The track was in very poor condition owing to recent rains, and this combined with cold rain and hail in the afternoon, prevented any good records being made. Aberdeen and Montesano High Schools were the leaders from the start but we finally won by the score of 47 to 42. Edwards made 21 points and won the individual medal. Bockover of Hoquiam was second with 19 points. The prettiest race of the day, was the mile, won by Harris. He set a fast pace and gained a big lead, which he maintained —86— Q U I X I A U L T until the finish. The track was ankle deep with mud, and in the dashes good time was an impossibility. The men winning track A’s are: Capt. Hobi. Dewey Wilson, Edward Edwards, Don Lyons, Hinman Harris and Cecil Turk. Winners of midget A’s are: Ed Green, Merl Dole, Walter Lahde, Edgar Anderson, Roland Gerhardt, Russell Austin, Dave Morlev. Rupert Cross, Ralph Harris and Blackburn. MIDGET MEETS. Two meets were held for the smaller track men, in both of which the A. II. S. entries were very successful. The first was a dual meet with the Franklin Grammar School. The contestants were divided into two weight classes, below 115 pounds and from 115 to 135 pounds. Some very good competition resulted, many of the races being very close. In the lighter division the A. II. S. boys had things all their own way, but in the heavier weight the result was always in doubt, the final score being 42 to 44 in favor of the High School. Green was the bright star of the lighter class, winning six firsts and two thirds. Dole and Lahde were also heavy point winners for the A. II. S. In the 135 class Ed. Anderson for the high school and Schuestra for Franklin were the best performers. Results—Under 115 Pounds. 50-yard Dash—Green A, Dole A. Lahde A, 7 1 5 seconds. High Jump—Lahde A, Gerhardt A, I).

The second big Midget Meet, held Saturday morning. April 29, at Stewart Field, was a triangular affair between the boys of Aberdeen, Montesano and Hoquiam. Both High and Grammar School boys were eligible to compete in the various events, their weight determining the class in which they were entered. To give the greatest possible number a chance to take part, the weights were classed into three divisions, as follows: 105 pounds, and under; from 105 to 120; and 121 to 135. The —87— Q U I N I A U L T number of entries in each event was not limited, and nearly one hundred boys participated in the meet. The Aberdeen boys were easy victors, the final total score being: Aberdeen, 152VL ; Montesano, 331 ); Hoquiam 19. The local entries were victorious in every class. Green was again the 105-pound star; Edgar Anderson the best 120-pound performer; and Schuestra, Ervick and Austin did the best work in the 135-pound class. This meet was the most exciting of the year, most of the races resulting in very close finishes. This is only the second year of Midget athletics in the schools and so much interest has been shown and the contests have been so successful that it is planned to greatly extend the scope of Midget athletics next year.

INTERCLASS OUTDOOR MEET The Interclass outdoor meet drew a large number of entries, but owing to the earliness of the season, the records made in most of the events were poor. Edwards, of tin Sophs, was the individual star, making twenty-one points for his team. Captain Ilobi made fifteen for the Seniors, his jump of 5 feet 4 inches being tin best performance of the meet. Although the records were poor, most of the men showed good form and the prospects for a good team brightened considerably. The results of the events were as follows: —88— Q U I N I A U L T 50-yd. dash—Herren (soph); E. Anderson (Soph), Austin (F) 5 minutes, 4 5 seconds. High jump—-Ilobi (Se.).

Q U I X I A U L T For the first time in several years a baseball team was organized this season. Early season practice was held in the gvm, under the direction of Mr. Leonard, during which time the rudiments of the game were mastered. Owing to the number of boys taking part in other school activities only two games have been played, both of these being with Cosmopolis High School. Our team was the winner of both contests, the scores being 14-3, and 9-7. Capt. Lyons pitched good ball in both games. Carlson, lb; Keil, c: and Carl Anderson, cf., all starred for Aberdeen. The line-up for A. II. S. was: Lyons, p; Keil, c; Carlson, lb; II. Anderson, 2b; McClymont, 3b; Dole, ss; C. Anderson, cf; E. Anderson, If; and McClung, rf. Manager Henry Anderson has secured games with Iloquiam and Elma High Schools, to be played in the near future, but too late to appear in this column. With a good start this year, baseball should come into its own again, and in the future we should be always represented by a first class team.

Henry Anderson ......Don Ly ns .....Emil Carlson .... Elmer Shaker ......Irene Crarv ... Dorothy Belles ......Lois Young . .Addie McGilton Esther Wellingon E LEADING characters in this jolly farce are, Erastus I nderholt. a retired Kansas City pork packer, who brings his family to New York with a view to “getting into society.” Ilis s n, Charlie Underholt, who has a mania for breaking plate glass windows, brings h me with him a barber, Augustus Keene Shaver, who has read “The l ight of Asia,” and makes a hobby of theosophy. Charlie, to get himself out of a scrape, introduces Shaver to his father as an old friend from India and a learned pundit. The Id gentleman welcomes the stranger with open arms, and immediately starts ahout advertising the fact that he has as his guest one of the leading lights of theosophy. Erastus has two daughters, Bernice and Gertie. Bernice is very dignified and ashamed of her father’s crudeness. Her one ambition is society; while Gertie is a “tom-boy” who likes to romp around and ride horses bare back. Then there is Marian Hayste, a young New v rk lady, in love with Charlie Underholt, who starts about to set the family right; and in the end she marries Charlie. The play was a decided success, it played to a well filled theater and the Seniors can well be proud of the talent brought out in their classmates. Douglas McKenna, as Augustus Shaver, the leading man, showed remarkable ability; while Joe Penn in the part of Erastus depicted the —92- Cast of Characters.

Dorothy Belles, as the Aunt, who married the third time, had a very difficult role to impersonate but she handled her part greatly ah ve the average amateur actress. Miss Agnes Hobi was well pleased with the cast and said they were splendid workers. • Debate NTEREST in debate was keen during the past year. Twelve students turned out, three representatives from each of the four classes in High School. This number made tryouts unnecessary and work on inter-class debates was immediately begun. The question adopted was: “Resolved: that the commission form of government is more desirable than the city manager plan for the city of Aberdeen.” In a first debate the Juniors, on the negative, won by a unanimous vote from the Seniors, on the affirmative. The second debate, between the Freshmen and Sophomores, on the same question, was again lost to the affirmative. The Freshmen, upholding the negative, showed excellent ability in answering their opponents as well as offering some very convincing arguments. The third and last debate was really the most important, in the fact that the victorious class would hold the school championship title. This was the first debate in which the affirmative won over tin negative, the Freshmen losing to their more experienced opponents, the Juniors. For interscholastic debate a triangular course was planned between the Abedeen. Ifoquiam, and Montesano high schools. Iloquiam was unable to secure enough speakers, leaving Montesano and Aberdeen to carry on the course alone. On Friday afternoon, February 25, a debate was held in the Aberdeen High School auditorium. Montesano, represented by Frances Noe, Elwood Hutchinson and Esther Sciver. took the negative side of the question. “Resolved: that President Wilson’s policy of preparedness be adopted.” Aberdeen on the affirmative was represented by Dorothy Borden, Joe Cloud and Roger Blackburn. Roth sides advanced good argument, quoting some interesting examples. Ten minutes for constructive argument and five minutes for rebuttal were allowed each speaker. Mr. Cross, Mr. Cook and Mayor Phillips judged in Aberdeen. A the same time of the debate in the Aberdeen auditorium, a simdar debate was being carried on in the Montesano High School between the two schools. At Montesano Aberdeen’s deflators were G'rdon Syure, —93— QUINIAULT Arthur V illiams and Dewitt Bertrand. Aberdeen, at Montesano, debated the negative, losing to Montesano, while the Aberdeen affirmative, at Aberdeen, won over Montesano’s negative. The judges in Montesano were: County Superintendent Hodge, Mr. Nelson and Air. Cheney. Declamation IIE CITY declamatory contest, which was held in the High School auditorium Tuesday evening, April 25, was highly creditable to our school. Each of the four contestants showed evidence of careful training, and the work of selecting the winner was no easy task. In addition to the recitations, an enjoyable musical program was rendered. The judges were Miss Agnes Hobi. Mr. F. M. Cook and E. J. McNamara. The program was as follows: Selection.......................................Girls’ Glee Club Vocal Solo—“One Meeting Hour”.............................Harold Anderson “Knee Deep in June”................................Eric Strommer “A Coward’.......................................Arthur Williams “The Day of Judgment”...............................Sarah El way “The Swan Song”..................................Dorothy Borden Piano Duet........................Wanda Wolkowiez and Cecelia Carlson The decision of the judges was in favor of Dorothy Borden, who was presented with a handsome silver medal, and who thereby became the representative of the High School at the County Declamatory Contest. I he County Declamatory Contest was held in the auditorium of the Hoquiam High School, Friday evening. April 28. Principal H. E. Holm-cpiist. of Aberdeen, acted as chairman. There were representatives of the high schools of Elma, Montesano, Cosmopolis, Hoquiam and Aberdeen. The following were the contestants, the schools they represented, and their selections: “Iloratius at the Bridge ....................Stanley Sutton. Hoquiam “Toussaint L’Ouverture”................Elwood Hutcheson, Montesano “The Boy Orator of Zepata City”...........Leslie Morgan, Cosmopolis The Swan Song ...........................Dorothy Borden, Aberdeen “The Speech of Vindication”.......................Doris Callow. Elma Each city represented furnished one judge. The decision of the judges was in favor of Stanley Sutton, of Hoquiam. who was awarded a gold medal. The second place was given to Dorothy Borden, of Aberdeen. who was given first place by two of the judges. The declamatory work in the Aberdeen High School this year ha-been under the direction of Miss Rupp, who deserves much credit for the excellent work accomplished. —94— GERMAN FLAY CAST Top Row—Dorothy Belles, Henry Anderson, Julia Re.nn.eln.eyer.

GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB QUINIAUL T P ITII the addition of the Orchestra to the music department, much has been gained, not only for that department, but for the whole school. It has proved a decided success, considering its inexperience, and shows proper school spirit. The Orchestra is composed of seven pieces: the piano, two flutes, a cornet, a horn, a drum and seven violins. The work of Mr. Wille, as director, has been greatly appreciated by members of the Orchestra, as well as the Student Body. During the past year the chorus had about one hundred and twei ty-five voices. Miss Cavanaugh has had wonderful success in the devel p-ment of the songs selected. In Catherine Miller the choruses have 1 ad an excellent accompanist. Some of the selections popular with the students were: “Babylon’s Wave,” by Gounod; “Gypsy Life,” by Scliu-man. and “Away to the Woods.” by Strauss. The Glee Clubs have been important features in tin musical activities of the school since their organization in the spring of 11)12. In the fall of 1915, about twenty people responded to a call for Glee Club volunteers. At a meeting held in September the following officers were elected: Grace Johnson, President; Goldie Graham, Vice President; Gertrude Thomas, Secretary and Treasurer. Dues amounting to ten cents a month were voted in order to pay for music. Dorothy Belles was elected to fill the office of President the second semester, Grace Johnson having resigned. The present members of the Glee Club are: Seima Strong, Lillian Xordgren, .Julia Remmelmever, Marian Crary, Maud Fitzgerald, Fern Weatherwax, Maud Craig, Esther Wellington. Wanda Walkowiz, Ruby Cross, Marcia Peckham, Lvndell Messer, Lorena Wyndearo, Celia Carlson, Lillian Milette, Dorothy Borden, Signa Johnson, Pearl Mitchell, Gertrude Thomas and Dorothy Belles. The girls have done praiseworthy work, and as a result have added greatly to the pleasure of the school. The boys have taken an unusual amount of interest in their Glee Club work this year and have shown marked improvement in the rendition of the songs they have sung. Some pieces developed by the boys were Park’s Song Collection No. 1. for male voices; “Mighty ’lak a Rose,” by Xeven; “Little Boy Blue,” by Westen Dorf; “Drink to Me Only With Thine —97— QUINIAULT Eyes, ' an old English air; and “Tin Owl and the Pussy Cat.” The hoys in this year’s club were: -Toe Cloud, Ralph Vammen, Douglas McKenna, Joe Penn, Eugene Potter, Cecil Turk, Arthur Williams, Clarence Burger. Laurence Hopkinson, Ilinman Harris, George Arnold, Adolph Norm, Emil Carlson, Russel Linn and Harold Messer. The vocalists hold a very prominent position in the High School. Goldie Graham, Fern Weatherwax, Maude Fitzgerald and Harold Anderson are among those taking vocal training. All of them have promising voices and have been received with hearty applause by their fellow students. Miss Cavanaugh is to be congratulated upon her results with both the Chorus and the Glee Clubs. GERTRCDE THOMAS, '10 —98— QUINIAULT Trtf tyrcA F FUrt ' y . ‘TThe past school year has been replete with many brilliant social gatherings. The first school dance of the year was the Athletic Ball, given Friday evening, December tenth, in the Eagles Hall. Soft lights from the candelabra filtered down through the heavy festooning of evergreens and fell on the gay throng of dancers. The school colors, Blue and Gold, were used lavishly in the decorative scheme. An interesting feature of the evening was the presentation of the football “A’s” to those who, by their faithful performance, had earned them. The committee consisted of Will Landers, chairman; Ruth Waller, music; Henry Anderson, finance; Irene Crary, invitations; Douglas McKenna, punch; and Tom O’Hare, decorations. The Junior Promenade given by the class of ’17, proved a success both socially and financially. The hall was decorated very effectively in the class colors. Orange and Black, and evergreens. The punch booth was especially attractive, representing a typical log-cabin. Slattery’s orchestra provided an excellent program of the latest dance music. The crowd was unusually large, many out-of-town guests being in attendance. The success of the dance was due largely to the capability of the committee consisting of: Tom O’Hare, chairman; Henry Callison, decorations; Eric Strommer, finance; Sarah Elway, music; Paul Vernon, punch, and Catherine Miller, programs and decorations. Apart from the strictly High School events there have been many dances given by those connected with the High School. Co. G gave a number of successful dances which were largely attended. The Naval Militia also has given several dances. Among them was the Thanksgiving Ball, given for the members of the Aberdeen Football team. The dances given by the two organizations were considered among the most enjoyable affairs of fhe season. The annual Senior Ball was given May 26, by fhe graduating Class of ’16. The decorations were of greens and the class colors, maroon and white. The dance was well attended and proved a decided success. The committee in charge of the affair was: Will Landers, chairman; Ed Ilobi, decorations; Philip Halferty, finance; Ruth Waller, music; Emil Carlson, punch; Irene Crary, programs and invitations. —99— Q U 1 N I A i; L T ...Alumni... YEAR brings great changes in the alumni in which marriages and deaths, successes and failures and happinesses and sorrows all play parts. The alumni now number more than two hundred and the advancing prices of paper and printer’s ink prevents the recording of the records of all. Therefore we shall chronicle here but the more prominent happenings to the “Ilas-Beens” since June, of last year. Death has played a leading role in the Alumni’s play of life in the twelve months past. From our active list it has stricken the names of Lewis Benjamin, ’12; Charles Reid ex-'12, and Walter Huttula ’ll. It. would have been difficult for death to have taken three more promising youths from our ranks. All three were in the heyday of life, with bright futures extending before them and each claimed many friends who expected them to accomplish success beyond the fortune of the average man. Among the alumni who have met exceptional success are: Aubrey Cross, Ralph Faulkner. Lance and Frederick Hart, and Miss Vera Johnston. Of these Cross, ’10, has been picked by eastern critics as one of the brightest medical students the far West has ever sent east to study for that profession. He finishes his work at Rush Medical this June and next year will take up interne work in the City Hospital of St. Louis. The Hart boys have been making rapid strides in their art studies in Chicago, Lance ’ll, as a painter, and Frederick 12, as a musician. Both will spend the summer in Aberdeen. Vera Johnston, too, it is reported, is making marked progress with her music studies in Chicago, while Miss Mary Hogan ’13, is winning much favorable comment by soloist work in Seattle. “Bump” DeLosh ’12, is married. The lucky girl is Miss Margaret Smith, daughter of a Medford newspaperman. “Bump” met her at Cor-valis. where both were classmates in O. A. C. Down at O. A. C. “Curley” Greene, known there as “Cupie,” has made a great hit as a yell leader, as well as with the college widows. Grace Young, who graduated—well. I don’t remember just when— I am told is now teaching High School and stands out firmly against gum-chewing and other such nefarious offenses, many of which sin committed, I am told, in her days as an A. H. S. student. Lance McDermoth, ’121 ;., and Dutton Knapp. ’09, are at Stanford, the former studying engineering and the latter medicine; both are reported to have developed into regular “Studes.” At the University of Washington more than a score of Aberdeen students are enrolled. Of this group Ralph Faulkner ’ll, recently gained distinction by winning individual honors in the Junior Day water sports. Roy Wood, a classmate of Faulkner’s when in school here, was a sub on the ’Varsity football team of the past season. —100— are about to hand you, our friends, the usual line found in almost any High School annual in the United States. We appreciate your thoughtfulness in exchanging so regularly with a school a little negligent in returning your courtesies. They have afforded many students pleasure—so much pleasure, in fact, that the editor has seen but a few of those sent us. The editors and managers of journals for this past year deserve much credit for their original products. General criticism is unjust but for lack of space and a desire for charity in return, we must be brief. “Whims,” Broadway High, Seattle, Wash.—Full of “pep” and school spirit. Your pictures add much to your charm. “Kodak,” Everett High, Everett, Wash.—A well edited paper. A school of your size must have a local artist. Why so few cuts in the April number? “The Messenger,” Wichita High School, Kansas.—Your Hallowe’en number is splendid for a “home-made” edition. “Helios,” Central High School, Grand Rapids, Mich.—Your January cover is very effective. An attractive paper with a good literary department. “Advance,” Salem. Mass.—Your Thanksgiving Number has some well written editorials and stories. You are fortunate to have two pages of spicy school songs and cheers. “The Key,” Battle Creek High School, Battle Creek, Mich.—Your exchange department in the Holiday Number is exceedingly clever. Your literary department is one of the best we have found in our list of exchanges. “The Nor’ Easter,” North East High School, Kansas City, Mo.— Why not print your pages in one column with advertisements in the back? Your Exchange department shows that you think a lot of your “spirit. ” “Wheat,” Ritzville High School, Ritzville, Wash—We are always glad to welcome your paper. “Purple and Gold,” Franklin High. Franklin, Ky.—We suggest that you tell where you’re from. QUINIAULT “Su-Hi,”, Soo High School, Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.—Brief, but what you have is good. We might suggest a few cuts. We wish to acknowledge: “The University of Washington Daily,” Seattle. Wash. “The Evergreen,” W. S. C., Pullman. Wash. “The Reed College Quest,” Reed College, Portland, Ore. “The Crimson and Gray,” Chehalis Wash. “Totem,” Lincoln High.

Ikfjool ilotes £|aIE school year, and for some, school life, is drawing to K77 a close; one and all wish to look back and recall the pleasant happenings. First in school activities come the spirited football assemblies. At these meetings Mr. Hawley, and sometimes the braver players themselves spoke to the Student Body. Two never-to-be-forgotten assemblies were held before and after the annual Thanksgiving Day game with Hoquiam. Business men and former High School players who spoke, were: Mayor Phillips, Mr. Girard, Blaine McGillicuddv, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Cross, Russell Mack, Mr. Nyere and Dudley Steele. Besides the popular football assemblies were others probably more beneficial to the students. mmsmm Friday, October 12, the students had the opportunity of hearing Dr. Suzzalo, President of the University of Washington, speak. Before the assembly a luncheon was given in Dr. Suzzalo’s honor by the Commercial Club, in the Domestic Science rooms. The menu was prepared and served by the Domestic Science classes of the High School. Miss Mary Rausch, head of the Home Economics Department of the University of Washington, spoke to the girls of the High School on Monday, December 13, on “The Sensible School Girl.” —102— QUINIAULT A Christmas sale was held in the School Gym by the Domestic Science and Manual xVrts’ Departments. This first sale of its kind was a success and has no doubt established a precedent. A splendid musical was given in the auditorium the Friday before Christmas vacation. Reverend F. F. W. Greene gave a pleasing talk on “The Spirit of Christmas.” Two weeks for the Holidays gave everyone a much-needed rest as well as a wonderful time. The first lecture after tin Holidays was given the students by the noted blind orator, Fred S. Atwood. Mr. Atwood spoke principally of his European travels and the present war, urging us to be “world citizens” rather than “Cnited States citizens.” He was in Aberdeen under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias. Reverend T. II. Simpson spoke to the school on Lincoln’s birthday. On Washington’s Birthday, Reverend Gibson spoke, following a few selections by the school orchestra. The students were called together to hear Mr. Mars, the state school inspector, speak. He impressed it upon their minds that great opportunities await them and that they should take advantage of the fine school and courses offered them. Few assemblies have been called to admonish the negligent ones this year. However in one instance Fire Chief Tamblyn spoke on the subject of fire drills. The students were much impressed by Chief Tamblyn’s talk, and the fire drills thereafter had more “pep” and seriousness about them. Mrs. Preston, head of the Education Department of the State of Washington spoke to the students on the schools of Washington, and gave a description of a recent visit to Washington, I). C , and Congress. It is certain that all who heard Mrs. Preston took with them from the auditorium a stronger feeling of patriotism. The Chemistry, Physics and Domestic Science Departments had the pleasure of attending a lecture given by Mr. Moon, an expert chemist, until recently connected with the Van Camp factories. Mr. Moon emphasized the fact that a strong knowledge of Chemistry and Physics is essential in nearly every line of work today. Professor Bibb gave an interesting experiment and lecture on Pure Foods before a large audience of students and visitors. April 22 the Jolly Entertainers of the Des Moines Orphan School gave this High School a very enjoyable concert in the auditorium. This is the second time the youngsters have favored the High School. The year has been quiet and peaceful with the exception of the wrangle with, pur sister High School. The bloody hatchet has been buried—may it rest in peace. —103— QUINIAULT “fEfje 0mn pree e” The Ocean Breeze this year started somewhat under handicap, owing to the necessity of electing an almost entirely new staff. In a short time all became acquainted with their work and eight issues were published. The papers were well gotten up and more carefully arranged than the majority of High School papers of this type. The paper was the recipient of a fine new heading, the gift of the Seattle Engraving Company. This, together with the tine quality of paper used, and carefully balanced head-lines, gave it an appearance of which all may he proud. Very little occurred in High School which escaped the Ocean Breeze reporters. In fact, there was some complaint that the news sometimes crowded out all the jokes. There could be more cooperation on the part of the students with the staff. For despite innumerable contradictions, the impression seems to prevail that the paper can best be cared for by the staff alone. There were several good stories published this year, nearly all of which came from students not on the staff. Their efforts were greatly appreciated. Although in its present form a regular story department in the Breeze is not practicable, nevertheless the best productions of student pens could and should be published. The Breeze has now completed its eighth year of service and every year has brought to it new ideas. It is a fit representation for the school and one which all may he proud to acknowledge. —104— Q U I N I A U L T Mr. Mac.—“Lester, recite please.” Lester.—“I can’t.

Answer me, how is it?” Young man.—“Fine.” Mother—“Johnny, stop using such dreadful language.” Johnny—Well, mother, Shakespeare uses it.” Mother—“Then don’t play with him; he’s not fit company for you.” A young lady whose stock of baseball knowledge was not as long as she believed, sat watching a game that was proving very disastrous to the home team. Along about the eighth inning of the farce, she turned to her escort and exclaimed: “Isn't our pitcher grand? He hits tlreir bats no matter where they hold them.” I’m sorry to have to do this,” said Johnny, as he spread the jam on the cat’s face, “but I can’t have suspicion pointing its finger at me.” Doug, (coming up to Phil)—“Lend me a dollar, Phil.” Phil reluctantly pulls out fifty cents and hands it to Doug. “What, didn’t I ask you for a dollar?” Phil (dryly)—“We both lose a half.” ♦ The jury had been out for two days, and still one persistent fellow held out against the other eleven. “Well, gentlemen,” asked the court officer, looking in at the door, “shall I order twelve dinners?” “No,” replied the foreman, “make it eleven dinners and a baie of hay.” Soph.—“You want to keep your eyes open around here, today.” Fresh—“What for?” Soph.—“Because you can’t see if you don’t.” —108— QUINIAULT If you think that we’ve been personal Don’t let it worry you, We may be the ones knocked In just a year or two. —Ex. One summer day a farmer lad noted for bashfulness and slowness of speech, appeared at the door of a neighbor named Smiley, and explained that a load of hay which he had been driving had upset. He asked Smiley to help him reload it. “Willie,” said the jovial farmer, “mother will soon have dinner ready. Come in and eat with us and then we ll attend to the hay.” “I’d like to stay,” said Willie, “but I don’t know what father would say.” “Oh, he wouldn’t care,” said Smiley, “I’ll tell him how it was.” Thereupon he ushered the young man into the house. After dinner he left his wife and daughter to entertain Willie while he read the paper, over which he fell asleep. Some time afterward he awoke and suggested to Willie that they walk down to the back pasture and look at some calves before reloading the hay. “I’d like to go, said Willie, “but I don’t know what father would say.” “Oh, he wouldn’t care,” said Smiley. “By the way, where is your father today?” “Why. he’s under that load of hay,” said Willie. “Will the vaccination mark show, doctor?” “That depends entirely on you, madam ! ” Mr. Bibb—“Under what combination is gold most quickly released?” Potter—“Marriage.” An Old One An Englishman in the station read a sign, “Inside Baggage” and said. “You Americans are so droll.

And nowadays, in addition he is supposed to know how to act under water, in the earth, and without air. I don’t care to have my husband prop up a newspaper at the breakfast table.
