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.”.........................................

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.

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£—
