Q U I X I A U L T Historp of Chs'fi of 1917 X GLANCING hack over our High School the past four years, we, the Class of 1917, feel justifiably proud of the record we have made. Freshman Year. The entrance of the Freshmen into High School, was attended with the usual confusion and fearfulness; however, goaded on as it were, by the encouraging smiles of the teachers and the scornful jeers of tin upper class-men, the verdant ones began their four years ascent up the ladder of Progress. At the first meeting of the Freshman Class, the following officers were elected: Paul Vernon, President; Dorothy Watson, vice president; Doris Wilcox, secretary; and Eric Strommer, treasurer. Orange and Black were selected as the class colors, while the yellow rose was chosen as the class flower. Sarah Elway won the medal in the declamatory contest. Sophomore Year. At a class meeting held early in the semester, we elected the following officers: .Marion Crary, president; Dorothy Borden, vice president; Sarah Ivana, secretary, and Harry Martin, treasurer. We were worthily represented in debate by two of our members, and also in basket-ball by a fine first team. The second annual school picnic, which was held at Westport, was the most enjoyed event of the school year. Junior Year. In football the Junior Class was represented by Quick Keil and William Hugo, both stars of the first team; while in basket-ball we were ably represented by Cecil Turk. The efforts put forth culminated in second place in the interclass basketball series. The school championship was won by the girls’ basketball team and also by the junior debating team consisting of Arthur Williams and Dorothy Borden. —25—

I happened to notice in the paper that you were in Frisco so I thought I 'd call up. I’m at the St. Francis.” E.—Where in the name of Xerxes did you drop in from, Art?” A.—“I came in this morning from India on the ‘Alcazar.’ Been on a government survey on II. M. S. for the last five years. Lonesome hole that; if Sherman had ever been there he would certainly have substituted it for another in his well known idiom. By the way, Ek. what are you doing?” E.—“.Just at present I’m lecturing on natural science. I have been touring this country for the last year or two with my most famous lecture on the ‘Mental Ability of tin Angleworm.’ Been making a good thing out of it, too.” A.—“Do you lecture here tonight?” E.—“No, tomorrow night, the eighth. By George, Art, do you realize that this is June seventh, 1937?” A.—“Well, what of it?” E.—“Just twenty years after we graduated from the old Aberdeen Hi.” A.—“I guess you’re right. I hadn’t thought much about it. I haven’t seen or heard of any of our class except Dorothy Watson, since about 1922 or ’23.” E.—“And Dorothy’s about the only one I haven’t heard of or seen. Where did you see her?” A.—“Oh, she came out to India about four years ago with her husband. He’s an army officer, the ‘Duke of Dedbroke’.” E.—“So Dorothy’s a duchess?” A.—“Yep, and raising a couple of strapping little duklets. Speaking of Dorothy, what became of Doris?” E.—“Doris was elected to Congress last term on a ‘ten hours of housework for men’ platform. Catherine Miller was her campaign manager and I understand that she had Mark Ilanna backed off the map.” A.—“Whew! Class of Seventeen seems to have run strong to feminism. Guess it was because there were so few boys. Say, what became of the fellows that were called out with the Naval Militia? E.—“Carl McClung was the only one who stayed by the Navy as a —27—
