What a memorable day. What ignorant one would ask what happened on that day? Know ye not that on that day the class of 1918, then a bunch of untried infants, thronged that stronghold of education known as the Aberdeen High School? The class then numbering forty-seven green little freshies, assembled in room twelve under the supervision of Mr. E. E. Smith, for the purpose of commencing its High School career, and it was during this week that our kind and patient teachers started us on our straight and narrow path to knowledge. We then proceeded to organize our class, electing officers for the first year, who were: Edward Edwards, president; Carl Anderson, vice-president; and Roger Blackburn, secretary and treasurer. Class colors were also chosen to be green and white and the white rosebud was selected as the class flower. From the first, the class was favored with reasonable success, to which it has steadily added. Immediately after entering, the spirit of the class made itself felt in numerous ways, in athletics, debate, and in fact in all the multifarious activities of the school. During the first year, we were well represented in first-team football and our class basketball team, while not actual champions of the school, was tied for second place with two other teams. When as Sophs we returned the next fall, wc set to work to make a place for ourselves as best we might, continuing to cover ourselves with glory. The class, which came back with full strength, elected the following officers: president, Estel Ilerren; vice-president, Roy Peterson; secretary, George Vaughn and treasurer, Gordon Gibson. The Freshman reception, which was the main social activity, was made a great success, and then all efforts were turned to athletics. Some played football, some basketball, others worked out on the field and track. Those who did neither of these, maintained the honor of the class at debate. Spring was not long in rolling around, and with it came Commencement Day, and as we watched the Seniors march proudly to receive their diplomas we looked forward to the day when we would receive the same honors. —17— QUINIAULT By the time we became Juniors, we began to realize the bigger things of our high school course. This year was very interesting, being full of work and victories for the class of 1918. The year was started out with a rush, and the officers elected were: Carl Anderson, president; Ralph Harris, vice-president; Hannah Schwarz, secretary, and Joe Fox, treasurer. Soon afterwards a constitution was drawn up, and plans for a Junior Prom commenced. The Prom was held on January 19, 1917, and proved a great success. This year we also kept up our end, or even more in various forms of school activities. Many of our boys were on the first football team this year, and our class team won the basketball championship of the school. In debate a team composed of two Juniors and one Senior won the school championship. As we drew near to the close of our Junior year, the United States became involved in the world war, and it was immediately plain that the class of 1918 contained no slackers, six of our number leaving to the remainder of the class, the task of keeping our name untarnished. Seniors! We had finally reached the goal of the Freshman. That is, we were on the home stretch. As Seniors, we now dominated the halls and looked upon the school as our possession, to run and use as we pleased. However, that is not all we did during our last year, for we employed every effort to make of the Senior Class all that it ought to be and all that the name implies. We were indeed fortunate in the selection of our officers for the year, choosing as president, Martha Pearson; vice-president, Roy Peterson; secretary, Hannah Schwarz and treasurer, Beulah Beedon. The Seniors, as usual, had a good representation in athletics, three of the class being letter men on the football team, one on the basketball team and two track letter men. Our first play, “A Perplexing Situation,” was a success in every way, due to the efforts of Miss Rupp who coached it. The second of our triumphs was the fancy dress dance, given in the new gymnasium, which was much enjoyed by all who attended. We carried our Senior Class Play, “The Newlyweds’ Predicament” to a very successful conclusion, having produced one of the most enjoyable theatricals ever given by a Senior Cass. Our next great event was the annual Senior Ball, held on May 10,1918, in the Armory. Naturally at the close of the year, we have been busy with the usual class business always attendant on the busy Seniors, but everyone worked some and enjoyed themselves also. Indeed, our last year under the blue and gold has been the most enjoyable of all our school years. While our class has ever been small in numbers, it has always had spirit enough for a class twice its size. The “Class of 1918” has had a most eventful history, and has won its due share of honors and victories, and now, as the motto suggests, we go “Over the Top’ to fresh conquests in the game of life. HANNAH N. SCTIWARZ. ’18 —18— Q U I N I A IJ L T Class Prophecy Goody Broomstick and Goody Scarecrow, witches, just seated themselves at their cauldron in the dim shadows of the Humptulips Woods, casting their mystic spells and calling to old Dickon to nse his magic power. Goody Scarecrow felt the advance of a stranger. G. B.—Here’s another interruption to spoil the mystic spell. G. S.—Ah! Perhaps we shall have a chance to exhibit our art. Me-thinks he will prove a willing listener. Stir the kettle heartily, Goody Scarecrow, for here he approaches. G. B.—Who art thou that darest tread these enchanted realms of Humptulips Woods? (Enter member of Senior Class of 1918.) M. of C.—Are these the mystic witches of Humptulips Woods? Both Witches—WE ARE:' M. C.—As a member of the Class of 1918, I have come to see what will happen to the members of the class at the end of 20 years, that I may report the prophecy at our class night program. G. S.—That will take charms indeed. Sit down while we cast our spell. (Waves wand and chants a weird tune.) I see the mystic E. B. arising in the mists above the kettle. M. C.—Our famous Ed. Bopps. And what then? G. S.—I see a heavy figure lounging in luxury at his favorite club, “The Out of Grub,’’ telling one of his members how he made his fortune by discovering and obtaining a patent on a smokeless and odorless tobacco at which he has made both fame and wealth. M. C.—That can be nobody but Edgar Anderson, better known as “Chocolate.” G. B.—With him is a second person who has the air of a tragedian. M. C.—Roland Gerhardt and no mistake about it. G. B.—He is a second Richard Mansfield starring as “Hamlet.” It seems to be rumored that he is engaged to the 440 pound, 7 foot beauty with the Ding Ling Brothers’ Circus. G. S.—Ah, they are talking about another member of the Class who through his experiences in decorating for the Class dances has proved himself a living wonder as Tarzan the Ape. It’s yourself young man. M. C.— (Laughs). G. B.— (Waves wand and scene changes)—Two fair sisters of the Class have done their patriotic duty and gone to France as Red Cross Nurses. The little one still quite youthful I see living in a little bungalow at Fort Lawton with her husband Major Maybe. The other has followed in the footsteps of her namesake, Florence Nightingale, and is still relieving the suffering ones in the hospital. —20— QUINIAUL T M. C.—Those two must he Clara Warwick and Florence Lund. G. S.—(Waves wand and chants weird tune)—Beneath the tropic palms of Hawaii a little group of native children, Hula Hula girls, are being instructed by a tall, angular woman. One of the children is addressing her as Miss Hite. The rumor is that she has fallen so in love with her work as a missionary that she intends to become the life-long helpmate of one who intends to spend his days in the fields. M. C.—A missionary! Well who would have thought that Fay Ilite would take up that work. G. B.—I seem to see the names of Dennis Green and Martha Pearson. Dennis has invented the “Get ’em up” alarm clock and Martha seems to be chief agent and demonstrator. M. C.—Ha, ha! If Martha Pearson is a demonstrator for alarm clocks she must be either a poor demonstrator or she has changed since her Senior days. G. B.—I see a great crowd of people. It seems to be the Railroad depot at Aberdeen. A woman’s voice sounds above the crowd, “trains for Junction City, Tacoma and Seattle and all points North, South and East.” A lady and gentleman look up suddenly—it seems that they have recognized the voice. Now I see them-hurrying towards her. “Why Gertrude Michaels, what are you doing here?” “Bonnie Ludwick and Kov Peterson, what are you doing here, I’d like to know?” The gentleman seems to respond: “Why, I have invented ‘Beauty’s Waves’ to keep the hair permanently curly and Bonnie here is my model!” There seems to be two more who are joining the crowd. “Dorothy Loomis!” the crowd again exclaims. “What are you doing in town? I thought that you were abroad toe dancing in the courts of Europe.” Behind her comes the demure little woman who they recognize as Alice Lund-gren, who is travelling with Dorothy as maid and companion. M. C.—My, that takes my breath away—so the Class of ’18 claims a Madame Pavlowa; and Roy Peterson demonstrating hair wavers. Don’t know what this old world is coming to next. G. S.—(Waves wand)—I seem to see two people in the audience at a moving picture show. They are talking about the Class of ’18. They are Hannah Schwarz and Frances Erickson. “No wonder, Hannah,” the other is saying, “that you have established a home for the children. Your experience in your Senior year surely put you in good stead for that work.” “And you are contributing to the Cosmopolis Times. I have been reading the articles on ‘How to Be Popular With the Men.’ I never thought they were written by you. But then Frances you can write from experience.” The pictures have begun. “Why,” Hannah is saying, “if it isn’t your old friend, Hazel Halverson, on the screen tonight. Did you know she was starring in love scenes? And she doesn’t look a bit older than when she starred in her first scene in the Senior play.” M. C.—Senior play days. Say that reminds me of about the busiest —21— Q U I N I A U L T days of my life. Never thought that anybody in that play would ever get a start in life and if here isn’t another one. G. B.—(Waves wand)—A busy office rises to view. A man of slight build with great horn spectacles on his nose is stooping over a desk, evidently dee]) in thought. M. C.—Slightly built and horny spectacles. That can’t be anyone but Roger Blackburn. G. B.—Yes, it is he. I see a sign “Matrimonial Bureau.” lie appears to have an inspiration; he calls his champion typist, Miss Tonneson, and as I listen I do believe he is dictating love letters. M. C.—Love letters! No wonder, he ought to be in good practice for that, considering the number he wrote during his High School career. G. S.—I hear him dictating a letter for Mr. Homer Hanson to a French heiress whom he met during his war experiences in France. M. C.—Homer Hanson marrying an heiress. He always did dodge work and get everything coming to him at a discount. G. B.—(Waves wand)—Aberdeen seems to be holding a patriotic celebration in honor of Majoress Beulah Beedon, who has just returned from Olympia, Washington, where she has demonstrated to the Governor of the State, Lilith Graham, that women make as efficient soldiers as men. M. C.—The girls of the Class seem to be outdoing the1 boys in winning the honors of the world. G. B.—A young woman runs out from a blacksmith shop where she has been wielding hammer and tongs, to watch the parade. I hear her say that Majoress Beedon was one of her class mates and I see the name above the shop dor. “Mildred Zent, Blacksmith and Ironworker.” M. C.—But what has become of Dave Morley with all his oratory and convincing arguments and inspiring poetry? Surely he ought to some to some great end. G. S.— (Waves wand)—David Morley, I see a happy-go-lucky fellow sauntering down a railroad track, his belongings done up in a bandana and tied on the end of a stick. Suddenly he stops, throws down his bundle. What is that I hear him say? “I’ll outdo Abe Martin and Walt Mason yet.” He throws up his hands in wild gesticulation. I can hear him say these words: “The day is done, and darkness From the wing of night is tossed As a feather is wafted downward From a chicken going to roost.” M. C.—Well, you haven’t missed a one. From the members of the fair sex down to the last member of the Ed Bopps. I would be glad to pay you anything for you surely helped me out of a tight place. Here I was to give the Class Prophecy and I always was hard up for an inspiration, but here I have it all in a nutshell. (By this time the witches have disappeared.) Name your fee. What, gone? Well that was another good business deal where the Class and I are ahead. Q U I N I A U L T Class Will Driven to an untimely death by the fatalities of graduation expenses and the great desire of the Juniors to become dignified Seniors, tin; Senior class of 1918 is about to succumb to the inevitable and go to take up its abode in another altho perhaps, less kindly world. We being still of sound and disposing mind and memory and in absolute control of our senses, and being desirous of settling our school affairs while we have the opportunity to do so. do herewith bequeath all our taxable property to those of our friends and enemies, who would profit most by such a transaction. To the coming Seniors: We bequeath first, the example of supreme dignity and knowledge possessed by the Senior class of 1918, with the sincere wish that they may profit by it. Second. We bequeath Room 14 with its pleasing (?) memories of the many exams that Miss Fink has bestowed upon us. Third: We bequeath to them our seats in the auditorium and may they continue to set an example to the entering Freshmen of the dignity and knowledge of their late occupants. Fourth: The Ed Bopps fraternity bequeaths to the Junior Boys its strength of organization, to be used in upholding the traditions of the A. H. S. To the coming Juniors: We bequeath the valuable old note books left in the waste basket of Room 14, in which may be found some very useful information for their coming year in high school. To the coming Sophomores: Fearing that the present Sophs may for- get them upon suddenly becoming upperclassmen, we bequeath to them the seats of the said present Sophomores in the auditorium that they may gaze in awe at tin backs of the Juniors’ heads. To the entering Freshmen: We leave first, some good shoe oil, as 3 in 1. to take the squeak out of their shoes. Second. We also leave a guide book that they may not become lost in the labyrinths of the A. IT. S. Third : We leave them a barrel of good strong salt for proper season- ing. To Fred Tebb. Roger Blackburn bequeaths bis brains preserved in alcohol so that he may always have them ready for use in English II Exams, i Toots Pearson bequeaths her good attendance to Wanda Wolkowicz. To certain Freshmen an extra large helping from the Freshman salt barrel. To “Bing” Morgan, Dennis Green wills his ability as an orator. Beulah Beedon leaves her tall stateliness to Sammy Barbour that he may become a shining light in his Senior year. —23 q IJ I N I A U L T To Mr. Holmquist, we leave all of Toots’s excuses for tardiness during the last six years. To all persons of bookish inclinations we bequeath all our well worn school texts. Hazel and David very lovingly bequeath their dramatic ability to Alta and “Happy”. To some deserving Freshman, Gertrude Michaels gladly bequeaths her gift of gab. Frances Erickson would like to bequeath something to Clarence Calli-son, but there is so little that Clarence lacks that ‘“It can’t be did.” To Miss Fink. Pete bequeaths his old stand-by expression “And the likes.” We leave to charity, llazel Halverson’s worn out powder puff, half dozen broken mirrors, and one broken heart. To some deserving Sophomore, Eg. Anderson wills his good marks in History VIII with the hope that they may always do as well as he did. “Polev” wills his beloved loud socks to Merrill Hill. To Catherine Barkley, we will Fay Hite’s fondness for bargains (especially where commencement invitations are concerned). Violet McKeever bequeaths “the modesty of a Violet” to Charlotte Borden, with the sincere wish that she may profit by it. To Ilortense Gillmore, Julia’s light curly hair. Lilith Graham wills her love of auto rides to Marion Vernon. From the profound depth of her knowledge Dorothy Loomis gives the Freshmen girls the warning never under any circumstances to ski]) periods. To Neva Finch, Alice wills her love of fun and good times in session. Hannah wills her purple dress to Lyndell Messer to go with her particular shade of hair. To Bessie Hendrickson, Nellie bequeaths her business training. Bill Hugo wills his genius as a football player to Emmett Anderson with the wish that he may do better (if such a thing is possible) for the honor of the A. II. S., than Bill did. Homer Hanson will bis ability to throw spit-balls in session the 4th period to Miss Bush. Clara Warwick bequeaths her love for dancing to Lilly Nordgren. To llazel Madison, Bonnie wills her “Third Liberty Loan” oration. To memories we leave the very pleasant Sneak Day which we had “in Aberdeen High School.” To Miss Rupp we bequeath a flock of knot holes so she can save time by just hanging these on the wall for the English VI. grades. To Miss Fink, we extend our heartiest appreciation for the invaluable help and co-operation in aiding our class in this, its Senior year. To our Honorable Principal, Mr. Holmquist, we give our sincere thanks, best wishes and deepest gratitude for the help he has given us during our High School life. —24— QUINIAULT To the Aberdeen High School students, we leave a 1918 model 18 cylinder faculty, with the hope that they may have as pleasant rides as we have had during the last 4 years. To the world we leave the “pep” and “spirit” of the Class of 1918. We, the Senior Class of A. H. S. do hereby nominate and appoint Mildred Zent and Florence Lund as sole executors of this, our last Will and Testament. In Witness Whereof, We have hereunto set our hand and seal, at the A. II. S. at 3 o’clock on the 24th day of May in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Eighteen. SENIOR CLASS OF XIXETEEX-EIGIITEEN. The said Senior Class of the A. H. S. at the said A. H. S. on the said 24th day of May, 1918, signed in the presence of each of us, and at the time of their subscribing said instrument they declared it to be their Will and at their request and in the presence of each of them, we hereunto subscribed our names as Witnesses thereto. Residing at Aberdeen, State of Washington. H. E. HOLMQUIST, GEO. B. MILLER, Residing at Aberdeen. State of Washington. —MILDRED ZENT FLORENCE LUND. Class Song (TUNE—“A Merry Life”) Some think our Class is very small in numbers, And it is true; and it is true; But we are sure we make as good a showing As you could do; as you could do; We’ve pep, we’ve plenty students who are brilliant; They shine afar; they shine afar. And when our happy High School days are over They all will know just who we are. CHORUS: Eighteen, eighteen, is our class of fame, Eighteen, eighteen, we’ve lived up to our aim; Tra la la la, tra la la la, tra la la la, tra la la la; Eighteen is our class and we are all proud of the name. Ah me, ’tis sad that we must leave our teachers, And schoolmates too, and schoolmates too; But we bequeath unto the underclassmen What we went thru, what we went thru; We’re sure you’ll all be very glad to hear this, And give us thanks, and give us thanks; Now always, always take advice from Seniors, And never try the Senior pranks. CHORUS: —25— Q U I N I A II I rn J i HONOR ORATION With oik1 exception, the present occasion will perhaps he the Iasi one when the Class of 1918 will make its appearance, as a class in tin High School. This building will remind us of happy, joyous times, of in cidents which have meant, and will mean much to us as we go thru life It will remind us of our teachers, our friends, and our classmates. True, as a class we are small in number, but we have had the enterprise to carry out whatever we have undertaken, with success. We have had ideals and ambitions that have not been lost sight of in these four years. Some, according to the world’s history, would probably be petty; others will be recognized as the worthiest aims that might be cherished by any American. When the War broke out we were a class of thirty-eight light-hearted Juniors. But men came the fatal day when War was declared and our ranks were broken, and we began to think more deeply of life, and its missions. Ten boys left the. class to join a higher rank in the Army and in the Xavv. Of these ten, only one, Wallace McClymont, has joined the Army. The other nine are in the Navy, and their names are: Weir Allen. Carl Anderson, Harold Anderson, Macon Gibson. Ralph Harris, Estel. Herren, Dick Hook, Harold Messer and Cecil Turk. Those who remained did their share in doing Red Cross work at school and at the headquarters, buying Liberty Loan Bonds, and Thrift Stamps. But our small sacrifice of money and time is but an atom compared with the sacrifices those ten were willing to make so that this war might be a victory for Democracy and Freedom. Our High School Service Flag already bears 100 stars and 33 more belong in tin field. They represent men from the faculty, former graduates, and boys from the present Junior and Senior classes. As Seniors we feel proud of the ten that belong to us, proud of the service that they are giving to our Country. And tonight a ; a class we would honor and remember those ten boys for whom these ten stars stand. —26- FAY HITE, ’18. = £ Os utograpfjls J£L £4 ' j JU .1 v i- WW Jl 7H L jF 6 £iA pM ' e C 7 AAz m ™ Aw— ' ]AL(juhvu!{ l ru . ’- CLASS OF 1919 Alba Shipman Wanda Wolkowicz Russell Austin Lester Pinckney President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Junior Glass Roll Ashmore, Marion Austin, Russell Barkley, Catherine Bertrand, DeWitt Carlson, Cecelia Carlson, Vera Carpenter, Edward Chabot, Remi Chabot, Roberta Chamberlain, Helen Covert, John Cooper, Mary Creech, Victor Dole, Esther Erickson, Esther Eubank, Carlyle Ferguson, Genevieve Finch, Neva Garner, Florence Gerhardt, Karl Green, Edward Gideon, Willard Haines, Bertha Hogan, Louis Huotari, Charles Ingebrigtsen, Leif Kenyon, Lyle Lahde, Walter Linn, Donald LaFleur, Beatrice Lindgren, Lalja Mackey, Anna Majek, Ignatius Matzen, Mildred Martin, Charles Mitchell, George McLaughlin, Margaret McClung, Olney Messer, Lyndell Mingus, Arrethea McKeever, Robert McNair, Clifford Morgan, Leslie Musgrove, Neda Nordgren, Lily Pista, Helen Peat, Allan Read, Jessie Rehm, Sidney Schneider, Casper Skeate, Gilbert Shipman, Alba Sheguy, Frank Strommer, Lennart Vernon, Marion Weatherwax, Fern Wolkowicz, Wanda 28— Q U I N I A U L T Junior Class History 11K class of ’H) began its High School career with eighty-four student members, who, true to the standard of beginners, were not lacking in the usual amount of shyness and verdure. As Sophomores, we gradually lost this freshness of vegetation and worked with more ease and sincerity. The record for these two years was very good. In basketball, the boys and girls both showed great ability in playing the game. Now comes the Junior year. Our election of officers resulted in the following: President, Alba Shipman; vice-president, Wanda Wolkowicz; secretary, Russell Austin and treasurer, Lester Pinckney. The Juniors started a series of High School dances in the Gym, the first of which was the “Barn Dance,” being very successful, both financially and socially. The “Prom”, given in the armory, April 5, 1918. proved to be all that we had wished it to be, due to the good work of the committees in charge and Miss Grace Sharp, our class advisor, to whom we owe much gratitude. In football we have been well represented by shining stars, a great number of the men of the team being Juniors. The addition of Marion Ashmore, who played left end, proved a valuable supplement to our class. Ashmore is likewise captain-elect for next year’s team. The others from the Junior class who helped uphold the fighting spirit of A. II. S., were: Ed. Green, “Warf” Lahde, Lester “Pink” Pinckney, Leif “Jinges” Inge-brigtsen, Don Linn, Ed. Carpenter and Bob McKeever. The Junior boys’ and girls’ basket ball teams were unusually successful this year, carrying off both interclass championships. Anna Mackey, proved a capable captain for the girls, and Marion Ashmore for the boys. Five of our boys entered track and carried off high honors. We have the distinction of having “Doc” Austin from our class as captain of the High School Track team. Walter Lahde was captain of our Class team. The Junior boys are fast becoming competent soldiers, excelling in the art of raising both feet at the same time, so that the others can keep in step with them. Those who have risen in rank are “Warf” Lahde, Top Sergeant, A Company; Lennart Strommer, Sergeant; and Olney McClung, Russell Austin, Bob McKeever, Lester Pinckney and Remi Chabot, Corporals. As a whole our class has had a most enjoyable and successful year, and when we come back to dear old A. II. S., next term, we will start with a determination to make our last year in school as promising as the preceding ones. CECELIA C.

After the threats which had been thrown at us, we were agreeably surprised to find ourselves quite safe. As it is customary to say something regarding your “greenness” as Freshmen, I must state, that beyond a hundred mistakes or so, we were not at all green. When we learned we were the largest class in the history of the school, we began to have considerable pride, which lasted until “collar day.” Early in the year, the following officers were elected: Pete Murchison, president; Phil Sherk, vice president; Susan Hunt, sercetary, and Orland Deuell, treasurer. We chose red and white for our class colors and the red rosebud for our class flower. In athletics, the Frosh displayed exceptional talent. Leonard Carlson and Phil Sherk were regulars on the football team, and Phil Sherk, Ed Schustra and Len Carlson played on the basketball team. Our class team also was a fair one. Ruth Hill won the County as well as the High School Declamatory contest. At the outbreak of war, we lost three active members in Sam Anderson, Harold Ewart and Neil LaBrot. Pete Murchison has also recently enlisted. As Sophomores, our class dwindled somewhat in size, but not in spirit. “Quality not Quantity.” Clarence Callison was elected president ; Perry X. Clark, vice president; Orland Deuell, secretary, and Cecil Callison, treasurer. Soon afterwards, the Freshmen Reception was given, which was very successful. This year, our class has shown up even better in athletics than during the previous year. Bellman and Callison made their “A” in football, while Carlson, Schustra and Elfbrandt did likewise in basketball. In the class series, our team came off a close second to the Juniors. In track, the Sophs gave the Juniors a surprise by walking off with the meet. The Sophomores have done very little in regard to class entertainments, although there has been much talk on the subject. We have every reason to be proud of our record so far attained in High School, but we will not rest content until we have won complete supremacy. —33— —ORLAND DEUELL, ’20.

The opening days of our school life were filled with confusion and timidity, but we began with the determination to fight our way to the front. Soon after taking up our residence in the Aberdeen High School, a convention meeting of the class was called by Mr. Ilolmquist. It was with much forethought and little political intrigue that we proceeded to cast our first official ballots. After the tellers had performed their duties, Harold Longmire, acting as temporary chairman, the result was proclaimed as follows: President, Harold Longmire; vice president, Harold Parks; secretary, Vera Lupton; treasurer, Foster Shapton. Due to the fact that Harold Parks, the vice president, left school, Jean Lewis was elected to fill the vacant office. A Freshmen Reception was soon given by the Sophomore Class, one of the main features of the evening being the kidnapping of both the president and vice president of the Freshmen Class, by enterprising upper-classmen. When the organizations for the year were perfected, the Freshmen were well represented in the Boys' Commercial Club, Boys’ Glee Club, Garden Club, and the Chorus and Orchestra. As yet, the nineteen-twenty-ones have not shown any marked skill in athletics. Altho our classmen have not played on the school athletic teams, we at least have been enthusiastic in the support of all school enterprises. Let us trust that our spirit and endeavors shall, when we have completed our four years’ course, have made the school better and grander for our having been among the numbers of its students. —HAROLD LONGMIRE, ’21. —37— Q U I N I A I I T STAFF Editor-in-Chief------------------------------------------- Roger Blackburn, ’18 Business Manager-------------------------------------------- William Hugo, ’18 EDITORIAL STAFF Associate Editor and Literary Editor — Athletics----------------------------- Girls’ Athletics -------------------- Joke Department---------------------- Society ----------------------------- Declamation--------------------------- Music-------------------------------- Seniors ----------------------------- Juniors ----------------------------- Sophomores -------------------------- Freshmen----------------------------- War Activities: Boys in the Service Cadets------------- Junior Red Cross---- Young Men’s Commercial Club---------- ------------------Frances Erickson, ’18 -------------------- Leslie Morgan, T9 ----------------Gertrude Veldkamp, T8 Roland Gerhardt, T8; Homer Hanson, T8 ----------------------Marion Vernon, T9 ---------------------Beulah Beedon, T8 -----------------Wanda Wolkowicz, T9 ------------------Hannah Schwarz, T8 ----------------- Cecelia Carlson, T9 --------------------- Orland Deuell, ’20 ------------------ Harold Longmire, ’21 --------------------- Roy Peterson, T8 ---------------------Walter Lahde, T9 ------------------------------Miss Rupp -----------------Olney McClung, T9 BUSINESS STAFF Advertising Managers---------------------Alba Shipman, T9; Olney McClung, T9 “OVER THE TOP.” The motto of the class of 1918 was chosen after much debate. Everyone in the class was struck by the words, “Over the Top,” but likewise every one was somewhat at a loss to know the exact application of them as a motto for a graduating- class. Finally, although no explanation had been found, the phrase was unanimously selected. In careful consideration of the words in their original meaning, we find that they are used to —38— q U I X I A U L T hand conflict with the enemy. This means, to the new soldier, who perhaps has been picked by the selective draft, or who has volunteered, the denote the charge over the muddy, torn “no man’s land” to the hand to culmination of his months of training. lie is at last at the end of his preliminary work, and the faith of the nation which he represents is placed in him,—the responsibility is now his. Speaking collectively, it is upon him that the fate of the ideal that lie is fighting for depends. We believe that this phrase, “Over the Top,” is a most fitting motto for the class of 1918 of the Aberdeen High School. We have the right to use this military term because we are represented in the army and navy of the United States, by more young men than are to graduate with us this year. The meaning of the phrase is likewise applicable. We have completed our preliminary training and in a sense, the faith of the nation which we represent is now placed in us,—we are those who are to be the citizens of the greatest nation of earth during the period of the greatest reconstruction and rearrangement the world has ever seen. It is now ours to decide whether we will justify the faith of so great a people, in shouldering this great responsibility. Let us all keep in mind the meaning of our motto, which is as suitable a one as could be selected. QUINIAULT IX. For the ninth time in the history of the Aberdeen High School, the annual is placed before the student body in the hope that it may meet with the approval of that distinguished aggregation. It always seems that no matter how early in the year the tired, overworked Editor and his trusty associate get their staff together and commence the struggle for material the book is never finished until, metaphorically speaking, a few seconds before the final gong of the High School year makes its unwelcome voice audible in the halls of the High School. As it is the editorial custom to fill the editorial department with advice and moralization, (for the benefit of those, who for lack of something more important to do, happen to glance thru the editorials) and since we hate so to break down any old established traditions, we will likewise say a few things which we think may prove of value to the thoughtful reader. In days past, when a student wasted his High School course, and graduated with no definite aim in view, he himself was generally the heav- —39— QUINIAULT iest loser. Times have changed, however, and with them have also changed our manner of looking at life. We are coming into a fuller realization of the fact that a person does not live for himself, and in fact cannot live in the modern world without his life having a very definite effect upon those with whom he comes in contact. The nation, whose representatives we are, is engaged in a terrific struggle to impress this very fact upon a people who as yet are deluded by the false notion that they are the strongest people on the face of the earth and that all others should be subservient to them. This war is not a war of armies, but a war of ideals. These ideals involve all the people of both sides. It is therefore evident that we who enjoy the privileges of life under a democratic government, must do our part to sustain our ideal. The war will be a long one. Those who are now High School students will, almost entirely, be called upon to serve on the first line, before the decision is reached. Therefore we must all realize right now that since the greatest need is not for common men and women to do the meaner tasks and actual fighting of the war, but for trained men and trained women, to fill the places of leaders of the others. The way in which to become leaders is not to neglect education, but to concentrate on some special line of work which will be of greatest value and work with all strength as long as we have the time before we are actually called into service. Again we say, 1)0 NOT WASTE TIME. A PARTING WORD. While the printer is patiently waiting for the last scrap of copy for this issue of the annual, the Editor has gently broken the news to me that my promised editorial has not yet been handed in. And so with a guilty conscience I hasten to make good my promise. I hasten to make it good by evolving these gems of thought in order that you, gentle reader, may fee! that you have gotten the full value for that dollar which you so reluctantly paid the business manager for this copy of the “Quiniauit. But seriously now, how do you like this copy of the annual? Of course at this writing I have read it only in galley proof. But I have seen the cuts, and I have spent many hours admiring the likenesses of the various intellectual individuals (including the faculty) that make up this aggregation which we call “our high school.’’ The snap shots, in particular, I commend to you. There is about them the air of careless abandonment that is characteristic of American youth. The jokes I have read over and over again. That is, I have read them on many —40— Q UINIAULT previous occasions. (Really, wasn’t he a wise man who said there is nothing new under the sun?). The two editorials (exclusive of this one) I have read with approval, and if this present editorial gets by the Editor I am sure that you, kind reader, will feel that this issue of the “Quiniault” is filled with literary and artistic masterpieces such as are seldom given to mortals to enjoy. On second thought, I am glad the Editor asked me to write this, for this is my last opportunity to have a chat with the Seniors. There are twenty-five of you, and pretty soon you will be scattered in many different parts of our country doing your share of the world’s work in the very best way you know how. I say in the very best way, for I hope if you have learned anything in High School it is to do whatever you do with all your might. Just now, when our country and its allies are engaged in the greatest war that has ever been waged for civilization and democracy, our watch-word is “Service. And surely that’s a good watchword not only during the war, but for all time to come. You have chosen as your motto, “Over the Top.’’ That is simply one way of saying that you are ready to give everything you have—vour youth, your strength, your ability—to the cause of your country and your fellow man. Do that. It’s the only patriotism that counts. One last word: Remember, graduates, that though you leave us, you will still be with us. We are going to rejoice in your success (for success will be yours), and we know that the members of the ( lass oi Nineteen Eighteen will always reflect credit upon themselves and upon our school by efficient, intelligent, patriotic citizenship.

The student body, during the past year, has had a very strong organization. The price of student body tickets was placed at a dollar and a quarter, as it had been in the two years past, and a great number of these were purchased by the students, altho sales were rather slow in starting. The members of the board of control performed their duties efficiently, and as a whole, the affairs of the year ran very smoothly. Members of the board of control were : Roland Gerhardt, Senior; Clarence Callism, Sophomore; Olney McClung, Junior. Edgar Anderson, as president of the Student Body, presided over all meetings which were also attended by Mr. Miller and Mr. Holmquist.

QUINIAULT LAKE Q U I N I A IT L T “Quiniault” For nine years, now, the Senior classes of the Aberdeen High School have been publishing an annual of this name. Most of us probably know from whence this name has come. It is the name of a lake, a river, and a tribe of Indians. The lake is located about forty-six miles due north of Hoquiam, in the Olympic Mountains. It has been, since the completion of the Olympic Highway, about two years ago, a summer resort which has attracted a great number of tourists. The lake is about four miles long and three miles wide, lying between two great ranges of hills covered with virgin timber. From the lake, the snow-covered peaks ol the Olympics are plainly visible, towering high up among the clouds. I he river, whose name is the same as the lake, rises far up among the mountains, but a short distance from the great mountain, “Olympus.” The rivfer winds a turbulent and swift way down between the peaks, until it finally flows into Quiniault Lake, at the northern end. At the southern end of the lake, the river again comes into existence, as a stately stream which flows down a somewhat westerly course, to finally come to rest in the mighty Pacific, some ten miles above Moclips. The Indians of the Quiniault tribe, are tin most thrifty of this part of the State. In the Summer, they migrate from their farms near the ocean, up to the lake, where they take care of the needs of the tourists in the way of boats and guides for the many side trips, which may be taken from the lake. A hen Fall comes, and the end of the tourist season, they again pack their household goods into their canoes, most of which, by the way, are now fitted with Evinrude motors, and go down the river to harvest their crops, take care of the Winter fishing, and send the children to school at Tahola. It is now no uncommon scene to see a Quiniault Indian, accompanied by his family, come into town in his own car. The fisheries, to which these Indians have the sole right, located on tin Quiniault river below tin lake, are very valuable, and yield the choice Quiniault salmon, which is so highly esteemed wherever it is known. A vacation spent at Quiniault Lake, is one of the most delightful that any normal person could desire. When one awakes in the early morning, in his tent on the shores of this beautiful lake, the first thing that greets his sense, is tin deliciously fresh odor of tin great fir forest which surrounds him. Then in becomes aware of tin myriad symphonies of bird-music going on about him; he hears the occasional splash of a salmon rising, in the early morning stillness which is characteristic of all mountain lakes; he hears the murmur of the little mountain stream which flows by his camp, and from which he can obtain drinking water such as is nowhere else found. On arising, the camper looks out upon a scene of incomparable beauty. The morning fog is just rising from —46— q IT I N I A U L T the water; a few moments later, the first bright rays of the sun stream over the sides of Mount Baldy, scattering the fog and casting their pleasant radiance upon the sides of the great hills on the opposite shore of the lake. Pity the man who has never had the opportunity of eating breakfast amid such surroundings as these! It is one of the greatest pleasures of life. Breakfast over, the opportunities of the day are before you. If one wishes to go fishing, he may be sure of a ereel pleasantly weighted with splendid trout, of which there are several varieties in the lake. But fishing is not the only thing that offers. There are great number of things, with which to occupy a day here. One may swim, row, ride, climb, hunt, walk, or just spend the day in pleasant idleness, at his pleasure. A week amid this environment will bring back the color to the faded cheeks resulting from overstudy, and will again fill one’s body with life, health and ambition, making life really worth living. 1 fear we have given more space than we really intended, to the description of the pleasures of the camper’s life on the shores of Lake Quiniault, but familiarity with this beautiful country, from which our annual obtains its name, is very apt to cause great enthusiasm for it. We are simply trying to call to the minds of our readers, the significance of the name of this volume, and to give the mind an image of one of the beautiful spots which Nature has provided for man to enjoy, in this wonderful Olympic Peninsula of Washington. —ROGER E. BLACKBURN. ’18. 47— Q U I N I A U L T For A Half Million Only Paul Socks —49— Q U I N I A U L T For A Half Million OK the first time since their graduation from the aviation school, hig Bill Andrews, son of a rich banker in New York, and Ed. Peabody, who had just inherited a million from an uncle, were seated in Ed’s sumptuous home, talking over old times. “Yon remember old Dengren, the aeroplane ‘bug’, don’t you?” Bill said. “Bo I, well I should say I do. Wasn’t lie the guy that tried to cross the Atlantic in an aeroplane here about six months ago,” replied Ed with a smile at the thought of the cranky old fellow, whom they were now talking about. “Yeh, that’s him, only you know he didn’t get very far. Well I met him out in Denver, and we got to talking about aeroplanes and I kind of kidded him about his attempt. He got so sore that ho was going to bet me a half million that no two passenger aeroplane could cross the creek in two days. I got an inspiration and made him put it down in writing. Here it is, just a minute.’ Bill searched through his vest pockets, coat and finally, cussing to himself, he pulled an envelope from his rear pocket. “There you are,” he said as he handed the contents to Ed. It ran as follows: I do hereby swear that I, the undersigned will wager any living man a half million dollars that he cannot cross the Atlantic ocean in an aeroplane in two days. Only one passenger besides the pilot allowed. Signed, R. I. DENGREN. “Well, what’s the joke, you don’t intend to take that up, do you,” said Ed with a little sarcasm. “You hit the nail square enough old top,, that’s exactly what I came up here for.” “Say, you’ve gone nutty, do you think I’ll agree?” put in Ed. “I don’t think, I know it,” answered Bill with a short laugh. “It’s like this—”. And they sat and argued and “chewed the rag” over the chances for at least two hours. It was past midnight when Bill finally left the house and headed for the hotel where he was putting up. The next morning, June twentieth, they met again at the Broadway Terminal and started for their private hangar on North Island, in Bill’s small car. They left the car in a secluded spot in the woods of northern Manhattan Island, and Ed led tin way down an almost invisible path to small, brush covered inlet in which was tied a gray-greenish canoe. He immediately stepped into the brush and drew out two paddles. Straight out from this inlet was a well wooded island which seemed to contain about four acres of land, and for this they headed tin canoe and paddled around to the side farthest from shore. This was about five hundred yards from the mainland and very few people had occasion to visit —50— Q U I N I A U L T its brush-tangled shores, so they had no fear of being molested. Ed was in the stern, and guided the craft up to a small opening in the brush. The same, however, was only used as a screen and they soon shot into a fairly large bay which covered almost half the island. Opposite the opening was a large, low building, strongly constructed, with its sides reaching completely down into the muddy bottom of the bay. The brushy opening was about two feet wide, and had been artificially constructed, with growing vines and climbers, neatly yet naturally tied to a gate-like affair, which was controlled by ropes. From the outside it was impossible for a person not familiar with the place, to discern the entrance. They paddled across the bay and landed at the small float, exchanging few words after they had unlocked the small side door and turned on the many large lights. Inside and facing the front doors was a hydro-aeroplane. It rested on a small car that ran on wide wooden tracks sloping toward the doors and extending beneath the water. The plane that the two young men began to work over was of a peculiar make and design. The body was -entirely constructed of heavy aluminum and the braces were not the ordinary ash pieces 2 inches by 11 2 inches, but were the full width of the planes and covered with light aluminum. No guy wires were visible anywhere and the dull, silver-like metal shone from all parts of the machine. Both men had on greasy overalls and were here and there, tightening this bolt and that, overhauling the powerful twelve-cylinder motor, and carefully inspecting the hundred and twenty gallon gas tank. In fact, the whole machine was completely inspected and gone over thoroughly. They had brought their lunch with them, and the night was far spent before they securely locked the place and paddled swiftly across the moonlit bay, out into tin open harbor, and across the strip of water to the dark shores of Manhatten. Next morning Bill telegraphed Dengren, and two days later he reached New York, and proceeded to Peabody’s residence. Here the wager was signed, and as the last signature was attached, the old gentleman grinned and clapped his hands together, saying “Fine, boys, well done,” and took them out for a big feed When he was about to leave for his hotel that night he remarked, “Now listen, boys, I’ll have a man out to start you whenever you say the word, and when you land in England or France, or wherever you get to. have some high, trustworthy character send a cablegram to my hotel. Time will be taken out for your getting the cablegram sent, and remember, your signature is on this. Good-night,” And he was off, laughing to himself. “Pretty soft,” said Bill as they headed for home, “the old sport hasn’t the slightest idea of our machine. Believe me, Ed, that’s some boat. Let’s see, how long did it take us to build it?” “Well,-----, just about a year, of broken time, and twenty thousand to boot. Some job,” commented Ed. The next morning they rode out to the hangar, and rolled the hydroaeroplane down the ways and out into the little bay. Ed got in and Bill —51— Q IJ I N I A U L T towed it with the canoe out to the gates and on into the open harbor. The two great propellers soon began to whirl and Bill watched it with admiration as it raised from the water and flew towards the city. lie closed the gates and lost no time in getting back to the “brig.” Dengren and quite a crowd gathered on the wharf when he arrived, and the old fellow was making quite a joke of “that contraption.” “Come on Ed, let’s get into our clothes” yelled Bill to his partner. Ed complied and they were soon warmly dressed in leather and seated in the machine, ready to start on their uncertain trip across the sea. with no help available if anything went wrong. They had constructed both seats and apparatus exactly the same; steering devices, marine compasses, height meters, and also ten meals apiece were packed in little boxes handy to each occupant. Ed was in the front seat and Bill in the rear. Ed was to drive three hours, signal for Bill to take the wheel, eat a luncheon and then go to sleep. When Bill had driven three hours he was to awaken Ed and then he would eat and sleep. This shift was the best arrangement possible, but even then it would he a strenuous test for them both. Once more the great propellers began to speed upon the shafts and again the plane skimmed swiftly over the water and into the air. They kept increasing in height until they got up to five thousand feet. This was the altitude that they intended to keep on the journey over. It was at a terriffic rate that they were going and the noise of the wind whistling by the craft was like a great siren going at full speed. The towers and skyscrapers of New York began to look dim and Manhattan soon became a blot. Bill looked down and the reflection of the sun upon the swells danced and sparkled like phosphorus on a dark night. New York was roasting when they left, but now it took all the protection of their heavy suits to keep warm. The great engine roared and Bill began to get drowsy. The roar became a hum as his mind wandered, and to him it finally disappeared. But this wasn’t for Ed. The three hours dragged slowly and when the time came for him to awaken Bill, he was good and ready to sleep. They passed over many islands and the people on them watched the aeroplane and wondered at their swift flight. It was eight o’clock that morning when they had passed over the Statue of Liberty, and now it was growing dark. They switched on the cowl lights and a slumbering blue jacket on watch, awakened by the roar of the motor, thought that a couple of stars were playing tag, and tore over the deck like a frightened rat to the captain’s stateroom. The captain however, took no stock in the story and bawled him out soundly for seeing things on watch. Both the boys were husky, but after three shifts, they could get off to sleep in half a wink after they had dropped the wheel.Bill was on duty and cussing the trip to himself, and Ed was snoring loudly, when the former happened to glance at the gasoline gauge. It registered two gallons. All of a sudden he became wide awake and aroused Ed. Had they swerved —52— QUINIAULT from their course and added several hundred miles? No— that could not be. The compasses had been true and they wouldn’t have lost gas that way. Was their calculation wrong on the distance? No—, if they had kept a direct course they would have ten gallons to spare, and they both swore they had steered direct by the compasses. “Well, what in the deuce is the matter” muttered Bill and swore loudly. It was almost daylight, but impossible to see down as a thick fog bank lay over the water. Twenty minutes later the engine began to wheeze and puff, go by jerks, sputtered and finally stopped. Down and down they went, in long swooping courses like a soaring eagle forced from his height by an approaching thunderstorm. Down through the fog they went and emerged as wet as if they had been plunged into the ocean. But what—what was this, and they both let out a yell that could be heart. a mile. “Ye Gods, and little fishes! what do you call this?” came from Ed. Bill’s answer was inaudible, for below them was instead of the ocean, a great river filled with merchant vessels, battle cruisers, and long, slick destroyers. Along the river were long wharfs and piers and behind them were great buildings. Bill skillfully guided the machine towards an open spot between two men-of-war and into this they shot, skimming along the surface for an instant and finally resting easily there. Ed pulled out his watch and grinned to himself. Two minutes past nine. Just twenty hours and ten minutes. They both stood up and looked at each other. Ed reached his hand back and Bill clasped it. “London,” they muttered in unison and sat down, “all in.” CECIL CALLISON, ’20 —53— Q I A I! L T II I N Only Paul HEN the first All-Sophomore was announced at Lincoln High School, Sidney Sherman began to realize that as a girl she was more or less a failure, because, she had not received a bid. It wouldn’t he so hard if her chum, Helen, had been a failure too, because they might console each other and maybe Helen’s father would take them to the Orpheum the night of the dance. But Helen had just proudly announced to the girls that she was going with Will Porter. I can get you a bid to go to the dance if you want to go, Sidney,” Helen said suddenly. ‘‘Will said he had a friend who wanted to go but who didn’t have any girl to take. I’m sure I can fix it for you.” “I don’t know, I don’t care so very much about going,” Sidney replied, she knew she was a failure, but she wasn’t ready to accept patronage. “Oh, all right then,” Helen said, and the subject was dropped. She discovered that there were other Sophomores who had not received bids, and she wasn’t the only failure. “My spirit isn’t broken,” said another girl, ‘‘two weeks ago I said there were only five boys in the school I would go with, but now, I would go with anybody that would ask me—anybody—except—Paul Smith.” Paul Smith was a tall, awkward fellow all hands and feet, who had recently come from another school in a neighboring town. “I do hope,” she went on, “I won’t weaken any more, I like to think there is someone I wouldn’t go with.” Sidney went to her first class soberly thoughtful. It might not be such a shameful thing to accept Helen’s offer, she was thinking. Three days before the dance she could bring herself to broach the subject to Helen. “Has—is—Will’s friend going to the All-Sophomore?” she asked at last. Helen knew at once whom she meant. “I don’t think so. He’s awfully bashful, and doesn’t want to ask a girl.” “Well—I—I—” Sidney grew hot and red. The words simply would not come. “Well, why don’t you go?” Helen asked. Sidney finally consented to go with Will’s friend, but pretending to please Helen instead of himself. When the plans were all made, Sidney thought to inquire of Helen, the name of Will’s friend. It was Paul Smith! Sidney began to picture herself on the ball room floor with a boy she had heard called a “boob” by one of the girls. She was robbed of the pleasure of telling the girls she was going to the dance for fear —54— Q HINT A U L T they might ask who was taking her. If it had been anybody—anybody— but Paul Smith! It was not until the evening of the dance that Sidney began to feel really uneasy. Everything was ready, and she was waiting for the door bell to ring, to announce Paul’s arrival. She was now very uneasy, for it was her first real dance and she didn’t know how it was all going t ; turn out. Possible difficulties loomed before her. She would have to shake hands with the patronesses. Thank goodness she would not be a wall flower, for she understood that the boys would see that their partners’ programs were filled. What if Paul did not understand how to perform this duty? What if she shoidd be the only girl without a filled program? Paul arrived in good time and he and Sidney went off to the dance together. Sidney had a really wonderful time. Paul made few blunders and everything turned out nearly the opposite to what Sidney had pictured it would. Will and Helen went home with Sidney and Paul, and along the deserted street the four chatted together. At the door of her house Sidney said to Paul, who was standing on the steps: ‘‘If you come over some evening before Friday, I will show you a dance I learnt at dancing school. It’s awfully easy and lots of fun.” “Sure,” said Paul with a deep blush which could be plainly seen bv the porch light. It was settled that he would come Wednesday evening. Wednesday evening Paul presented himself at the home of Sidney Sherman, and a rather self-conscious Sidney met him at the door. To the music of the. Victrola they danced. Sidney made fudge and Paul proved to be an apt pupil at the dance which Sidney had promised to teach. As a whole, the evening wasn’t half as hard as Paul had feared. On his way home Paul decided that Sidney was the jolliest girl he had ever met. He soon began to take her to all the school entertainments, took her skating and bobbing, and often loitered at her desk before school was called. Little by little. Sidney ironed out the creases in Paul’s peculiarities. “I’m crazy about the kind of collars Will Porter wears, aren’t you?” she would ask. And soon Paul would appear with a collar like Will’s. “I’m afraid a horse will run over me,” she would say with a laugh, skipping around Paul when he would let her walk on the outside f the street. Paul was soon able to swing Sidney around in front of him whenever a sudden turn brought her to the outside, as well as any hoy in Lincoln Hi. Saturday afternoon Paul took Sidney skating; they had gone twice around the pond when Paul hailed a fellow skater and introduced him to Sidney. Sidney had seen him with Paul quite frequently, and she meant to speak about it to Paul. When Sidney first met Paul he seemed a polished beau beside John Peake. As soon as John left she said to Paul: —55— Q U I N I A U L T “I don’t sot why you go around with that John Peake so. much.” “Why not?” “Oh, lie’s so—so—queer looking.” Paul grinned. “Ilis clothes are kind’a wild and woolly, but he will catch on soon. That’s nothing.” “But it is something Paul.” Sidney contradicted. “People will soon think you are the same kind.” “Well we are the same kind, you don’t know John, that’s all, he’s a good kid.” “I think you might do this to please me,” Sidney said coaxingly. “I’m sorry Sidney. I’d do most anything to please you. But I can’t.” “You mean you won’t” Sidney said accusingly. The red flush could again be seen on Paul’s face, but be finally said. “All right then, if you put it that way, I won’t.” The next day in church, Sidney thought of the things she wished she had said to Paul. When afternoon came she stayed at home and composed a long speech which she would deliver to Paul. Paul had always dropped in Sunday afternoon, immediately after dinner and usually they would go for a walk and return in time for lunch. By half past two Sidney had her cutting remarks well in mind. By a quarter to three she had begun to grow impatient, and wondered why Paul didn’t come. By half past three he didn’t come, by four she realized that he wasn’t coming. Evening dragged on; Sidney read for a while, and then tried to play the piano, in order to amuse herself, but this was a failure so she went to the window and gazed down the snowy street, wondering where Paul could be. Paul had said nothing to indicate that he was angry. That was his quiet way. Oh! how different he was from other boys! She thought of the things she was going to say to him. IIow could she ever think of saying such things! It was dark and cloudy Monday morning. Sidney started to school alone with dark thoughts. Suddenly, as she turned on Fourth Avenue she heard a familiar whistle. She turned to see—Paul Smith running toward her. He took her strapped books as he had taken them dozens of times before. lie steadied her across the slippery strip of ice. There was nothing new in this intimacy—it was as old as Spring and as welcome. “Mother got word that Uncle Pete was worse, about ten o’clock yesterday, and John Peake said he would drive me up in the cutter. I thought of course I ought to go,” he explained. “I phoned you but I guess you were at church.” The cloudy sky was suddenly aglow with sunshine—at least for one person on her way to school. “John Peake’s got a swell bob sled. I don’t suppose—you—” “Oh, Paul, I’d love to, we will go tonight.” HAZEL MADISON ’21 —56— Q U I N I A II L T Socks “Hey, Bill, d'.je get any socks from the Red Cross to-day?” “Sure, I got one pair; do you want ’em?” “Naw, I got a pair too, and I’ve got some my folks sent me besides.” “Well, so have I. I wish my folks would send me something besides socks, socks, socks, all the time,” and Bill threw his pair disgustedly from him. “If you don’t want ’em why don’t you give ’em back. I suppose some poor fellow would be glad to get them.” “Sure, Jim, I never thought of that, I’ll take them back right away.” As he picked the socks up a card dropped out on his cot. Naturally, as any one would, he picked it up and looked at it. There was a name on it. Well, what of that? But this was a girl’s name. He hastily put it in his pocket and folded the socks up. “Guess I’ll turn them in to-morrow morning,” he said to Jim. “I’m going up there. I’ll take them along now, if you want me to, Bill.” “No, I’ll take them back.” Bill had never noticed before how kind Jim was. “Oh, alright. So long,” and Jim went away. Left to himself, Private William Williams took out the card and looked at it. There was the name. Surely she wanted him to write to her, or else she wouldn’t have put her name on it. He pulled out his suit-case and took out a package of socks. Taking out one pair he put in its place the pair she had made. Then he wrote the following letter of thanks. (William had never written letters outside of those written to his own family. All his letters began and ended the same). And so did he write this one: “Dear Mary: I received the socks and 1 want to thank you for them. They are sure fine and I was glad to get them. If you want to write to me you can, but you don’t need to if you don’t want to. With love, WILLIAM ILLIAMS. “I g—You don’t need to write if you are too busy but my address is ------------------■” Of course she made them especially for him, and she was probably busy making more. As he dropped it in the mail box, a thought struck him; he had addressed it “Miss Mary Baker.” What if she were married? Miss Mary Baker looked up from her knitting as her brother came into the room. 57— Q U I N I A U L T “A letter for you Mary,” he said handing it to her. “It’s probably the bill for my coat. I’ve been expecting it for several days,” she answered as she tossed it on the table. “No, I don’t think it is. It has an out of town post mark.” “Out of town? Maybe it is for Mary. But she tore it open as she spoke. “Why yes, it might be for her. I thot, of course, her being away, it was for you. What does it say?” “It is for me. It’s from a soldier thanking me for a pair of socks I made for the Red Cross. Mary can’t knit socks so it’s for me.” As she went on with her knitting, she thought of many things, but what she thot of mostly was socks and soldiers. She made up her mind to write to him. He evidently wanted her to. or he wouldn’t have said anything about it. Thus began the friendship (by mail) of Private William Williams and Miss Mary Baker. Private William Williams was to have a furlough, lie was too far from his home to spend it there, and it was only a half a day’s ride to Mary’s. She had invited him to come and he had accepted the invitation gladly. As lie stood in the car, waiting to get off at her town, he saw three ladies standing near the train. No, there were two ladies and a girl. The one with the glasses must be her mother and the other one was probably an aunt. She, the girl, he was certain, was His girl. She looked just as he had imagined her; small and pretty. As he stepped off the train, they came towards him. “William Williams?” the one with the glasses asked him. “Yes,” he said, with his eyes on the girl. My, wasn’t she pretty! What good times they could have together. “I am Mrs. Baker; this is my sister, Mary, and this is my daughter, Mary. We’ll have to hurry in order to get back for dinner. Our car is here,” she continued. They had a car, and probably it would be a long ride, he thought, lie could be by her in the back seat. How kind life was! Before lie knew it, he was in the back seat, but Mary, his girl, was driving, and Aunt Mary was beside him. Instantly the sun went under a cloud for him. lie sat looking straight ahead at nothing and thinking of how cruel this world was! They were talking to him but lie didn’t care. Why didn’t they let him sit in front, with her? The first two days. Aunt Mary was always with him. Niece Mary was with someone else, making that lucky person happy. Finally, at noon of his last day, Aunt Mary said to him: “William —58— Q U I N I A U L T dear, I am going to be busy this afternoon, but Mary will entertain you.” “Oh, alright,” the sun came out from behind the clouds, and he told stories and jokes, and kept them all laughing as lu had never done before. That afternoon as lie walked about the garden with her he could think of none of the things he had planned to say to her. She chattered about things and he nodded his head and put in an occasional “Yes” or “No” so she wouldn't think he wasn’t paying attention to what she was saying. Finally she said: “Do you know why Aunt Mary couldn’t be with you this afternoon? If you won’t tell anyone I told, I’ll tell you. She’s planning a party for you this evening, and of course she wants to be up to it. so she has to take a nap!” “What’s she planning a party for me for?” he asked. “Why to entertain you of course,” she explained. “But why is she doing all the entertaining? Why aren’t you?” “Because you are Her’s not mine.” “Her’s, how do you make that out?” he was puzzled. Suddenly she burst out laughing. “I do believe you have us mixed up. Aunt Mary made the socks and put her name in them. She is the one you have been writing to and she has answered your letters. We are both Miss Mary Bakers.” William stopped, dazed. “Do you mean to say she was the one I was writing to? Why it can’t be so.” “Yes, it is. She has your picture right by her bed, so that she sees it first thing when she wakes up. And besides I can’t knit socks.’ The sun was hidden again. Why couldn’t those clouds keep away? “Here comes George. I promised to play tennis with him this afternoon. If you don’t mind I'll go.” And she was off before he had time to recover from the terrible shock. lie suddenly remembered he had to be back to camp the first thing in the morning. He went to his room and found a time-table. He could just make a train. He gathered his things together and went down to say “good-bye. No one could be found and Bill gleefully started on his return journey to camp. Next day as he sat on his cot writing a letter of thanks to Mary Baker and apologizing for his abrupt departure, Jim said : “I got a pa r of socks today, Bill.” “I don’t care what you got.” “I thought you might want them. Here’s something in the toe. Why it’s a card with a girl’s name on it. You can have it if you want it. “Ah, you dry up,” and Jim dodged a bundle of socks. -59— HELEN SPOON, ’21. Q IJ I N I A U L T War Activities Boys In The Service EFORE tho outbreak of war with Germany, many boys of the Aberdeen High School were members of the local military organizations: Company G of the National Guards, and the 4th Division of Naval Militia of Washington. Many of these boys, that is, nearly all of those belonging to G Company, had seen service at the Mexican border, some time previous. During the period of diplomatic crisis between the United States and Germany, these two organizations received word to hold themselves in readiness to depart for active service. When war was finally declared. G Company was the first to be called. The boys were sent to American Lake, to be sworn into the federal service and be reorganized. Here some men from other towns were added to the Company which was then sent to various stations on the summit of the Cascades, for the purpose of doing guard duty at tunnels and bridges. The commander of G Company is Captain II. A. Comeau, who was formerly a football coach at the High School, so the boys have a Captain who they know and who is in sympathy with them. After a brief period of this guard duty, the Company was again taken to American Lake where they received more equipment and were then shipped East to Camp Mills on Long Island, where they spent a period of training in the methods of modern warfare, before being finally sent to France. Here the Company was raised to a war strength of 250 by the addition of draft men from Camp Lewis. After receiving much practice in gassing and being gassed, bombing and other modern “improvements” to the fine art of warfare, the men were sent to France, being at sea “somewhere” on Christmas day, according to a letter received from Wilder Carter, one of the former High School students in the Company. At present the men are either in the front line trenches or very close to them, if we may judge from the letters received from various members. As to the exact whereabouts, however, we cannot say, altho we know that wherever they are. they are “carrying on” the old A. II. S. spirit in a way we may justly be proud of. Soon after the departure of G Company from Aberdeen, the Naval Militia, which had been carrying on an active campaign for members, received its call, and one fine Spring afternoon a whole trainload of the —60— Q U I N I A U L T boys left for Bremerton, amid the cheers of the crowd of friends which had assembled to see them off. After receiving their full allotment of uniforms and other equipment, the “tars” were assigned to duty on board the U. S. S. South Dakota, and proceeded southward by way of some California ports, on thru the Panama Canal to New York. Here their serious duties commenced. The vessel was first assigned to patrol duty off the coast of South America, while the greener hands were getting their “sea legs” and becoming accustomed to Naval routine. From this time on, it is impossible for us to state as to their exact movements, but various letters received from the boys, lead us to believe that the South Dakota was employed as a convoy “across the pond.” After one or two trips of this nature, the Aberdeen “bunch” was split up and many of the boys were placed on armed rnerchantment and “sub chasers,” because of their expert marksmanship. We may be certain that our boys in the Navy, no less than those in the Army, are doing their utmost, inasmuch as they are clearing the seas of submarines and securing the freedom of the waters for the new American Merchant Marine. Of course, not all of the boys who have left the Aberdeen High School to enter the service of their country, are members of either G. Company or the Fourth Division. The School is also splendidly represented in every other branch of the Service. Many of the boys are members of the Hospital Corps, some are Ambulance Drivers. I here are several A. II. S. men who have received commissions in the Aviation Section. The Marine Corps has also drawn not a few recruits from among the students and alumni of the Aberdeen High School. There is one man among the many, of whom we are especially proud. This is First Lieutenant Don M. Hawley, who is well known to all students as the coach of Aberdeen’s winning Football teams for four years, beginning with tin Northwest Championship aggregation of l.M.l. Lieut. Hawley attended the second Officers’ Training Camp at the Presidio in San Francisco. At the end of his studies here, he received the rank of First Lieutenant, unassigned. As a member of the Officers’ Reserve, he was sent East to New York, where he embarked on the Transport Tuscania for England. It was just as the vessel was approaching the Irish coast, that a German submarine, made its appearance and torpedoed the ship. Fortunately Lieut. Hawley was among those rescued. The letter which he wrote to his wife, containing the description of his experiences, is very interesting. In it he praises highly the hospitality of the Irish people. As to where Lieut. Hawley is now, we cannot say, but it suffices that he is “somewhere in France. So far, we have lost but one of our boys. But in him, we have lost one of the most highly esteemed young men who has ever attended this school. Don Lyons, one of the boys on the South Dakota, was the tiist of all those representing this school who was called upon to give his life as a sacrifice to his country’s need. He died of pneumonia in Portsmouth, N. II. —61— Q II I N I A II L T Beloved of all who have known him is First Lieut. Don M. Hawley, now with the American Army in France. Mr. Hawley was athletic coach of the Aberdeen High School for four years, commencing with the fall of 1913. During these four years, he turned out one football team which won the Northwest championship, and three other teams which were close contenders for the same honors. When War broke out last spring, Hawley immediately sent in his application to the Reserve Officers’ Training Camp at the Presidio. As soon as school was dismissed he received word to leave at once for San Francisco, where he spent the next three months in intensive training, at the conclusion of which he received the rank of First Lieutenant. For a time Lieut. Hawley remained unassigned, but soon he got word to proceed to France. On his journey to England, he was on the ill-fated transport “1 uscania,” but luckily he escaped with his life. At present, he is “Somewhere in France,” upholding his end in the great conflict. —62— Q 11 1 N I A U L T Another officer, who perhaps is not quite so well known by the students as Lieut. Hawley is, yet who in the past has done much for the school and deserves commemoration to the students, is Capt. H. A. Comeau, the leader of G Company, now representing the Aberdeen High School in France. Capt. Comeau was also an athletic coach at A. H. S. in years past, and has always had the best interests of the school at heart. Many of the men of his company are former A. H. S. men. He was the leader of G Company for several years before the war started, and always placed this work before any other. When the war broke out, it was due to the incessant and untiring efforts of Capt. Comeau, that G Company was one of the first bodies of its kind to reach war strength. Wherever he and his men may be now, we know that we are proud of them, and that they will be among those who will be there when victory at last is attained. —63— High School Cadets Company A Company B Q U I N I A U L T Military Training The instruction of the High School boys in tin art of military training started its second year in the Aberdeen High School at the beginning of the school year in September. The school board had engaged First Sergeant B. II. Short, formerly of G Company, to take charge of the drilling. The boys were all called out together and formed into two companies. A Company being formed of the larger boys, and B Company of the smaller. Sergt. Short then set the dates of drill, having two days in each week for each Company. The boys were first taught the different facings and close-order marchings, after which the drill-master announced that there would be a competitive examination held to determine who the officers of the companies for the year would be. The cadets immediately secured drill manuals from a bookstore and began to study up on the work which they had had up to that time. About thirty cadets from each company took the examination. The papers were graded by Sergt. Short, who soon afterward announced the results. The following received promotions: A COMPANY 3 COMPANY SERGEANTS: Walter Lahde Homer Hanson Lennart Strommer Dennis Green CORPORALS: Edward Carpenter Remi Chabot Olney McClung Robert McKeever Edward Green George Mitchell David Morley Roland Gerhardt SERGEANTS: John Covert Cecil Callison Perry N. Clark Gerald Crary CORPORALS: Harold Cameron Samuel Smith Ben Johnston Milton Appleyard Percy Baker Edwin Wyndearo Virgil MacDonald Ernest Eddy Soon, thru tin efforts of Sergt. Short, tin school board furnished the cadets with wooden guns and the work on the manual of arms, bayonet exercises, and Butt’s manual commenced immediately. I nder the careful instruction of the drill-master, the boys soon mastered the use of the rifle. For the benefit of the noneoms, Sergt. Short made arrangements to have all the officers together in the High School gymnasium every Wednesday night. In this way. the boys soon became able to handle squads and platoons at the drills. Hater it as announced that there would be a field day to be held toward the end ot the school year, and that a silver loving cup would be awarded to the company showing the greatest degree of perfection in close-order drill, and also that a gold medal, awarded by the fhomas Jewelry Company, for first prize, and a silver medal, awarded bv the Stieglitz Jeweli.v —65— Q U I N I A U L T Company, for second prize, would be given to individuals showing the greatest proficiency in the manual of arms. The rivalry was strong between the two companies, and also between the individuals, every boy having his mind set on winning one of the medals. Sergt. Short set himself to work fixing up a program for the big day. After having decided what events should take place, he immediately got the cadets to work practicing the different tilings they were to take part in. A Company spent a lot of time at Guard Mount, while B Company practiced extended order work. A Company also tried extended order, but Sergt. Short decided that B Company should stage that event. Both companies were split up and formed into three separate companies for the purpose of practicing Battalion Parade. After this was perfected, Sergt. Short passed out pamphlets containing the various codes used by the federal army. The cadets were given a chance to study up and the work on Semaphore signalling was started immediately. Several of the boys mastered the code well enough to send messages to each other. Along with the Semaphore, the drill-master taught the boys a number of arm signals which are used on the battle-line, or in other places where it is difficult to give the commands with the voice. A wall was erected by the noncom class and the cadets were taught the various ways of scaling it. Two teams were picked from the companies, these teams to compete on the field day, to see which could get over the wall in the shortest length of time. Sergt. Short had flags made for Semaphore drill and bombs for competition in accuracy of bomb throwing. On account of many noncoms dropping school, many promotions took place, and the list of officers at the end of the year is as follows: A COMPANY FIRST SERGEANT: Walter Lahde SERGEANTS: William Hugo Homer Hanson Lennart Strommer Edgar Anderson BUGLER SERGEANT: George Mitchell CORPORALS: Lester Pinckney Remi Chabot Olney McClung Robert McKeever David Morley Russell Austin Roland Gerhardt B COMPANY FIRST SERGEANT: Cecil Callison SERGEANTS: Perry N. Clark Ben Johnston Gerald Crary Edwin Wyndearo CORPORALS: Milton Appleyard Harold Cameron Hartwick Hanson Ernest Eddy Virgil MacDonald Percy Baker Samuel Smith Hubert Chase. AN hen told that possibly several U. S. Army officers would be present on Field Day, the cadets worked hard and paid good attention, as they wanted to make it one of the biggest events ever held by the school. May 16 had been set aside as Field Day and by that time, the boys had rounded into fairly good condition. The account of the doings of that day follows: —66— QUINIAULT On May 16, the first annual Field Day of the Aberdeen High School cadets was held on the High School campus, beginning at two o’clock. A crowd of about fifteen hundred civilians and school children cheered the cadets as they first appeared around the East end of the building, and look their place in front of the crowd. Sergt. Short then presented the cadets to the audience. Both Companies went thru the manual of arms, after which B Company retired and A Company went thru the close order drill in competition for the cup. B Company then marched on to the field and went thru the same drill in front of the judges. After this, picked details from A Company marched on and went thru the formation of Guard Mount. Company B now showed the audience its proficiency in extended order work. When this was over, the cadets of both Companies were extended on the Campus before the judges and given signalling flags, whereupon Semaphore signalling, Butt’s Manual and the Bayonet exercises were gone thru with. The wall-scaling teams were next called out and their events were timed by Mr. Leonard. The team led by Sergt. Lahde won this event, getting seventeen men over the wall and on the line in a total of forty-two and three-fifths seconds as against over a minute for Sergt. Callisons team. Competitive individual drill in the manual of arms was the next event. About twenty members of each Company entered this contest in the hopes of securing one of the medals, ('apt. II. B. Dabney, of the 459th Aero squadron, and Lieut. E. M. Scheffler acted as judges and were on the watch for the slightest errors. The cadets soon began to drop out until at last but two boys remained, and of these two, Sergt. Cecil Callison of B Company won the gold medal for first place and Corporal Harold Cameron, also of B Company, took the silver medal for second place. Both Companies were then joined and divided into three Companies which went thru the formation of Batallion Parade.After passing in review, they formed into a hollow square and Mr. J. W. Clark presented the cup and medals. The cup was won by B Company. Capt. Dabney gave a short talk, telling why the judges had decided on B Company, and also telling the cadets to drill hard because, in his opinion, over 90 per cent., of these cadets would see service in France before the war is over. The music for the day was furnished by the Grays Harbor Motorship Corporation’s band, of thirty pieces. The musicians played well and went thru the various formations in At form. Bugler Sergt. George Mitchell, of A Company, acted as drum-major and made a fine showing for the short time in which he had to practice. On the whole, the day was a considerable success, and as Sergt. Short is planning on giving a more extensive course next year, it looks as tho the next Field Day will be a double success. The audience was by far the largest of any that has attended any High School enterprise this ye? As it is the first full year of military training, Sergt. Short deserv- mjcIi —67— I N I A U L T Q IJ credit for the time and energy he has spent in making good future soldiers for Uncle Sam. He has had the cadets march in several parades, such as the Liberty Loan parade, and without doubt it lias been entirely thru his effoi’ts that the cadets have advanced so rapidly. He has gained the friendship of every boy in school, and all are anxious to have him back as their instructor next September. The Junior Red Cross Ever since the great European war began, the Red Cross has been working diligently in this country, but not until this year did the National Red Cross realize how valuable the younger people might be in the many phases of this war relief work. The Junior Red Cross has responded so eagerly and efficiently, however, that it has become a force to he reckoned with. Most of the school children of this city joined and then begged to be allowed to help. It became necessary to discover what part of this war work could best be done by the grade schools and by the high schools. Many of these orders from headquarters were experiments but these young “fighters” at home found nothing too difficult, from pasting scrap books to making dresses. As far as the High School was concerned, it was decided that the girls should spend the last study period of the day sewing while the boys were doing military drill work. Altho but a half-hour period twice a week was set aside for this, yet so many of the girls were eager to work on after closing time, that much was accomplished. Orders came from Seattle to make a box of shirts for the Belgian boys, boys of seven, nine, eleven and fourteen years. But to stitch “seam and gusset and bind” it became imperative that all the teachers supervising this work be supplied with sewing machines and many of these were rented. In about three weeks, the hundred and seventy-five shirts that were needed to fill the box were ready and the girls were clamoring for new kinds of sewing to conquer. Some were put to work on bed socks, some on bandage socks, some on bags for moss, some on woolen shawls, others on dresses for Belgian women, and still others on bed quilts. At odd times many picture puzzles and scrap books Avere made for use in the convalescent hospitals. And it is no uncommon sight to see girls passing thru the hall knitting. No matter what the task assigned, the work has been carefully and willingly done by the girls and they have won high praise from the local Red Cross chapter, as well as from the Seattle headquarters. It is our hope if the war continues, to see a large advance in work both in quantity and quality during the next school year. —68— QUINIAUL T Honor EoU Harry Adams. Gus Adams. Sam Anderson.

H., March 28, 1918. —69— Q U I N I A U L T Athletics The man who has led this year’s football team to victory is Captain “Bill” Hugo. For four years Bill has played stellar football for the A. H. S. and this year he was selected by the prominent athletic men of the Northwest, as end on the All-Northwest football team. This year he has played such football as is very seldom seen on High School elevens. Time and time again he broke thru the opposing line for huge gains, and time and time again he received or made forward passes which were responsible for even greater gains of territory, and thru the year he has held the players together so they fought like one man. Too much cannot be said of Bill’s work this year, for it has been beyond comparison. One who has been a large feature in the success of the football team this year is Manager George, otherwise known as “Fat,” Mitchell. Managing this year’s team was indeed a problem, for the individual who tackled this job was hampered by lack of funds to bring other teams here to play, and also by the lack of sufficient opponents within traveling distance of the city. However “Fat” has not only successfully filled this position this season but has likewise more than successfully filled the position of right tackle-on the team, this being his second year on the A. H. S. football team. —70— A. H. S. FOOTBALL TEAM Left to Right, Rear Row—Leif Ingebrigtsen, Ed Carpenter, Coach B. A. Leonard, Fred Tebb, Don Linn, Marion Ashmore, Vernon Bellman, George Mitchell. Center Row—Bob McKeever, Lester Pinckney, Ed Green, Captain William Hugo, Walter Lahde, Edgar Anderson. Bottom Row—Gilbert Skeate, Clarence Callison, Roy Peterson. T This year, at the beginning, when prospects for a successful athletic year looked dim, and before the student body had awakened to its new life, Mr. B. A. Leonard, teacher of Science in the High School, stepped forward and offered his services as athletic coach for the year. Hampered by the lack of as good material as in former years, and the apparent lack of spirit by the students, Mr. Leonard stepped right into the breach and got to work with all his might. Soon the football turnouts began to be larger, and it was decided that we would have a team to represent the school. At this news, new interest was shown by everyone and the men began to work with a vim. Due to the untiring work of Coach Leonard, the team was able to go thru the season, meeting one of the strongest teams in the state, and yet never meeting defeat. Again, in basketball, where the school for many years has not had any marked success, Mr. Leonard was able to turn out a team which surprised everyone by its hard playing and speed. The track team this year was also singularly successful, giving Montesano a close race for the county championship. To Mr. Leonard is due a great amount of credit for this year’s work in athletics as he has filled the students with new spirit and made it possible to have a live school year. X I A u L As a result of an election held by the board of control, shortly after the close of the football season, Olney McClung was chosen as manager of next year’s team. We are sure that “Ole” will make a splendid manager and will handle the schedule as efficiently as Mitchell did for this year’s team. At the annual football banquet this year, Marion Ashmore was selected to lead next year’s football team to victory. We know that Ash” will make a fine leader, from the class of game he has played this year. He was a power on both offensive and defensive for the team and held up his end of the line most efficiently. —72— Q U I N I A U L T FOOTBALL HE 1917 season was one of the most successful football seasons in the history of the Aberdeen High School, ruder the careful instruction of Coach B. A. Leonard, the leadership of Captain Hugo, the management of George Mitchell, and perfect co-operation of each and every player. the team fought thru the season undefeated. They upheld in every sense of the word the reputation of every A. II. S. football team. “Clean athletes who play for all there is in the game and do not know that there exists such a word as quit. We are proud of them, their record, their spirit, and best of all, their willingness to work hard on the gridiron for the glory of their school. We should he glad that the football huskies wear an “A” upon their sweaters showing that they represented the Aberdeen High School. The record of this year’s team was a very agreeable surprise to every student of the A. II. S. Only three of last year’s team were available but those men who had stood with the second team and received merciless poundings from the first team last year, made the best sort of material from which to build a team. Strengthened somewhat by new men from other schools the team started battering itself into shape under the watchful eye of Coach Leonard. By unanimous vote of tin squad “Bill’’ Hugo was elected to captain the eleven for the season. At a meeting of the Board of Control bat Mitchell was established as manager. Yell leaders for the year were: “Bing” Morgan and Olney McClung. With the assistance of the Hooter’s Club considerable enthusiasm was drummed up and wierd noises began to issue trom the auditorium at different assemblies. The football schedule was not very large, due partly to lack of material in other schools and partly to financial conditions, making long trips impossible. The total of games was five, but those five contained some of the most brillian playing seen on Stewart Field. Backed by every A. H. S. student and many townspeople, the squad trotted out on Stewart Field to play the first game. What did they do. Merely wiped up the ground with the Montesano eleven and walked off with an overwhelming victory. Score 107—0. The 1917 football team was composed of one of the most perfect combinations of material. The line was heavy, averaging close to 160 ponds. The backfield was light but one of the fastest in the school’s history. With this combination they fought thru the season with a perfect record. —73— Q U I N I A U L T THE TEAM William Hugo. (Captain) R. E. One of the best ends ever produced by the A. II. S.

On the offensive, however, our men merely hurled their huge bulks toward the opposing lines and the backs went thru. Open playing held an important place this season owing to tin fact that the ends as well as the backs were fast. Forward passing met with greater success this year than it has for several years. The punters also worked to a high point of perfection and their work accomplished more than can he realized. THE GAMES. OCT. 13—ABERDEEN 107, MONTESANO 0. The first game of the season resulted in an overwhelming victory as is seen by the score. The field was dry, and the game was almost wholly open playing. The Monte team was handicapped by lack of speed and a heavy line. They did not once break thru the Aberdeen defense. A total of sixteen touchdowns were made. Five were made by Green; Anderson and Peterson each made three; Pinckney two, and Hugo, Ashmore and Austin, each one. OCT. 27—ABERDEEN 47. ELMA 13. The second game of the season played on October 27 was a far more evenly matched and harder contested game than the Montesano game. The start of the game was decidedly in Elma’s favor, Cooper and Parker, the Elma star backs making huge gains thru the Aberdeen line. However, the second quarter saw a decided change in Aberdeen’s attitude. They resorted to open playing and that was where Elma lost. The most yardage was made by Anderson and Green on long runs, but Pinckney, Hugo and Ashmore also accounted for large gains. NOV. 2.—EVERETT 0, ABERDEEN 0. The big game of the season was played on Nov. 2, against the Everett High School, the school that has always beaten us. This time the victory rightfully belong to A. II. S. The total yardage made by Aberdeen was 358 against Everett’s 228. This was undoubtedly the hardest fought game of the season, the teams being so evenly matched that neither could put the pigskin over the line. The rainsoaked field did not help the game but the large crowd of football enthusiasts felt well repaid when the fame ended 0-0. Exceptional work was done by Ingebrigtsen, the heavy tackle, and Ashmore, the speedy end. Everett’s punting was superior to that of Aberdeen but the Aberdeen backs made more yardage than those of Everett. 1 he importance of this game lies in the fact that Everett had not been beaten during the season although she had met some of the strongest teams in the state and had a good claim to the championship. Q U I X I A II L T NOV. 17. — ABERDEEN 92, ELMA 6. On Nov. 17 the Elina High School team was for the second time defeated by the A. II. S. The game was rather one-sided but a good game for all that. It was the fastest game played on Stewart field this year. The speed of the Aberdeen eleven fairly took Elma off her feet. Forward passing was the predominating feature of the game and every touchdown was the result of a pass. Ashmore’s kicking was exceptional. In this game Ashmore made five touchdowns, Hugo made three, two each were made by Anderson and Tebb, and one by Green. Elma’s only touchdown was made through a fluke. In the final quarter. Cooper, Elma’s full back, happened to slip through the line and as no one was near him he was able to cross the line for a touchdown. The best advance of the day was made by Peterson who sailed fifteen yards straight through Elma’s line. NOV. 25.—ABERDEEN 9. NAVY 0. The annual Turkey Day game this year was not played with Hoquiam as has always been the custom, but with an all-star navy team from the C. S. S. Goldsboro, a torpedo boat stationed in the harbor. This team was composed of former high school and college men, and although they greatly outweighed the high school men, the high school team work was far superior. In this game Ashmore who had more than successfully filled the position of left end during the entire season and who starred during every game, suffered an injured shoulder when he was downed after receiving a forward pass. Excellent work was done by Anderson, Green,Lahde. Pinckney and Peterson. Captain Hugo who was playing his last game of High School football played with more spirit and zeal than he ever did before. For four years he has played football for the A. II. S., and his services have materially aided in upholding the reputation of the Aberdeen High School football teams. L. L. M. ’19. Q U I N I A U L T —77— Q II I N I A U L T THE CUP One of the greatest honors that can he bestowed upon a football player of the Aberdeen High School is to have his name engraved upon the beautiful loving cup opposite this page. Why? It denotes that he has been one who has materially aided in bringing glory in the athletic world to the old A. II. S. It denotes that he has stood with his team in the path of the enemy and then charged thru their lines to the State Championship. This cup was presented to the Student Body by fifty prominent Aberdeen business men in appreciation of the spirit and success of the championship teams and to show that they were back of the team. The A. II. S. now boasts of three State Championship teams, those of 1910, 1913 and 1915. These teams and the names of the players follow: 1910 Coach—S. L. Moyer. Captain—B. (Hidden, Right End. W.

One of the .not’ important factors in the success of this year’s football team was the very efficient work of the second team. They turned out every night and received merciless poundings from the first team, but nevertheless they did not quit. They are to be congratulated upon their consistent work and their patriotic school spirit. Those who received second term letters were: Eubank. Short. Gerhardt, Morlev, Elfbrandt, Maginn, Pearson and Schneider. —78— A. H. S.

Q [TINT A IJ L T TRACK After being omitted for one year, track was this year again included in the schedule of the High School athletics. Last year due to the departure of practically all of the track men with the Naval Militia and National Guard, track was suspended. Aberdeen, however, was not the only one affected. The same call took practically all of the best athletes of the county, and none of the schools were represented by a track team. The annual county meet had to be given up. This year, however, several athletes have been developed, and considerable enthusiasm for track along with them. The team that represented the A. II. S. was composed of: Anderson, Ashmore, Austin, Blackburn, Callison, and Tebb. The first meet of the season was the annual outdoor interclass meet. This meet was won by the Sophomores by a score of 54V . The Juniors came a close second with 52V: , and the Seniors took third place with 201 -The results of the interclass meet were as follows: 50-yard Dash—Austin (Jun.) ; Anderson (Sen.) ; Tebb (Soph) ; Ger-hardt (Sen.) ; time 5.2 seconds.

H. S., did not receive the support that football did. However, the school was represented by a good team which was backed by the entire student body. Many enthusiastic mobs of students packed the gym to see their team win from opposing teams. Also a large number followed their team to Monte and Elma. They supported the team with the greatest amount of noise it is possible for the human voice to make, and in Elma and Montesano, the Aberdeen rooters did not sit by and let the home rooters do all the yelling. We hope they realized that we were there. At the beginning of the season, “Bing” Morgan was elected manager. During the schedule, a different captain was chosen for each game. Toward the end of the season, Walter Lahde was elected the team’s permanent captain. Interscholastic games were played with Hoquiam, Montesano and Elma. Two games were also played with the Moose teams. The complete schedule follows: January 25—A. H. S. 16; Elma H. S. 26. February 1—A. II. S. 18; Moose 17. February 13—A. II. S. 16; Hoquiam II. S. 34.

The season was opened with interclass games. Although each class made a fine showing, the Juniors won the championship. Immedi ately after the class games, a first and second team were formed. The manager succeeded in obtaining games with Iloquiam, Montesano and Elma, from which the Aberdeen girls came out, undefeated, making them the champions of Southwest Washington. There was no individual starring, each girl playing an excellent game. The lineup is as follows: First Team Second Team Gertrude Veldkamp, Captain.........................

Center Martha Pearson...................................Catherine Barkley Wanda Wolkowicz, Manager............................. Fits Cady Forward Coach—Mr. Finch. ELMA vs. A. II. S. The first game of the basketball season was played on January 25, wtih Elma, the team going to Elma in automobiles. The first half ended in our favor with a score of 4 to 2. The second half was faster and more interesting and Aberdeen was more on the defensive, but succeeded in coming out victorious with a score of 5 to 3. After the game, the Lima girls entertained the Aberdeen girls with a dance. A. II. S. vs HOQUIAM On Wednesday night, February 13, we met our old rival, Iloquiam. They were undefeated at the time, and the score was expected to be in their favor, but the Aberdeen girls fought hard and the first half ended in our favor—7 to 6. In the second half, our guards worked effectively and gave the forwards fine opportunity to show their skill in basketshooting. The final score, again in our favor, was 17 to 12. HOQUIAM vs. A. II. S. Undoubtedly the most hard-fought and fastest game of the season, was the return game with Iloquiam. It was in Iloquiam’s territory, to which our girls were unaccustomed, thus giving them the advantage. The first half was close and hard-fought, ending in a tie of 4 to 4. Ex- —87— Q U I N I A U L T eitement was at its highest when the second half was called, both sides being determined to win. Our girls, however, again came out undefeated with a close score of 8 to 7. A. H. S. vs. ELMA The return game with Elma was played on home territory, on March 1. Altho the game was hard and exciting, the Aberdeen girls gained an easy victory over Elma with a score of 13 to 4. After the game the Aberdeen girls entertained the Elma girls with a dance in the gymnasium. MONTESANO vs. A. II. S. The last game of the season was played with Montesano. The team going to Montesano in automobiles. Altho it was a close game it seemed to lack the “pep” which the former games had. At the end of the game Aberdeen had again defeated an old rival with a score of 5 to 3. The Montesano girls entertained the Aberdeen girls with a fine “Jazz” dance in their gymnasium. Quickness and team work showed the careful training of Mr. Finch, who deserves much of the credit for the success of the season, and the girls wish to express their appreciation of his work. —88— Q U I N I A U L T MEAT I • MCL • DRAMATICS “The Newlyweds’ Predicament” The Seniors are to be congratulated on securing the services of Mrs. Carl Nelson as their coach this year. Mrs. Nelson has coached the Seniors for the last four years and has shown great efficiency in her work. A great part of the success of the play was due to her fine efforts. To choose the cast, a general tryout was held in which each member of the class proved his ability or inability to take part. The following cast was chosen by the judges, Miss Bon, Miss Young and Mrs. Nelson: Mrs. Wilson......... Mr. Wilson ......... Miss Wilson ........ Mrs. Lamrox......... Mr. Lamrox.......... Major Whitcomb .... Count Von Bernstorff Bob ................ Rose, his wife...... Peggy, the cook..... Rena................ Marie............... Bonnie Ludwick .... Roy Peterson Martha Pearson Hannah Schwarz Roland Gerhardt . Homer Ilanson Roger Blackburn .. David Morley Hazel Halverson Frances Erickson Dorothy Loomis .. Frances Moore Mr. and Mrs. Wilson are the newlyweds. Unfortunately they are blest with numerous relatives who delight in paying them extended visits. At the time the play opens they have been married six months and have not yet had a day alone in their home. Mr. Wilson has excellent prospects of getting rid of his sister, a maiden lady of forty who has been living with them, and the sky seems clear. The newlyweds are just rejoicing in their good fortune when Mrs. Wilson receives a telegram stating that her Aunt Mary and her very much henpecked little French husband are arriving to pay them a long visit. Mr. Wilson, who intensely dislikes Aunt Mary, conceives the plan of bribing the cook Peggy to drive her away with bad cooking. The Wilson’s are further disturbed by the arrival of Mrs. Wilson’s younger brother, Bob Hill and his bride of the morning, Rose. —89— Q U I N I A U L T From there on, events succeeded each other rapidly until the climax is reached when Mrs. Lamrox (Aunt Mary) and Mrs. Wilson, discover Mr. Wilson kissing Marie, the attractive French maid, whom he mistakes for his wife. l eg{?.Y performs her part of the contract conscientiously and as is to be expected, Aunt Mary raises a great fuss. Aunt Mary and Mrs. Wilson are convinced of a conspiracy when they discover Peggy serving lunch to the General and Mr. Wilson. The servants knowing that the family are going out that evening, plan a masquerade party to which General Lamrox is asked by Marie. Through the General’s indiscretion Mrs. Lamrox learns of this, and a plan is formed to impersonate the maids and so test the loyalty of their husbands. The plan works beautifully and Mrs. Wilson discovers her husband true to her and Mrs. Lamrox learns that her husband has a great liking for French maids. Another interesting feature of the play is the romance between Miss Wilson, Major Whitcomb and Count Von Bernstorff, who falls in love with Mrs. Wilson thinking that she is Miss Wilson. The mystery is finally solved and the Count speedily departs, grateful to escape the “title struck” Miss Wilson. Miss Wilson gladly consents to he Mrs. William Whitcomb; Mrs. Lamrox decides to remove the General from all temptation and Mr. Wilson, who has taken a liking to the charming Rose, and her husband Bob, promises to take care of them. Then all being happily disposed of. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson take their long delayed honeymoon. CLASS PLAYS Soon after school opened in the mall, Mr. Holmquist made a suggestion that each class give some kind of an entertainment in the auditorium for the benefit of the school. The Seniors were the first, and on October 19, they presented a two-act farce entitled “A Perplexing Situation.” The play was very well presented and Miss Rupp deserves many thanks for her fine coaching. The cast was as follows: Mrs. Middleton ............. Mr. Middleton................ Tom Middleton .............. Jessie Middleton............ Maud Harrington............. Sue Middleton...............

Mr. Middleton, as soon as he can make himself heard, declares that women couldn’t keep quiet if they were paid for it. He offers each one of them seventy-five (iollars not to talk for the day. They take him up. However, keeping silence is a difficult thing, as Alexander W ilson first tries to propose to Jessie, and goes off believing her angry; then Uncle Ep who has lived up the country for sixteen years happens in and is much perplexed to find the girls all dumb. Neighbors spread a smallpox scare and the house is saved from quarantine only by the clock at last, striking six. Mr. Middleton, finding he has lost, gamely pays and everything is explained. The play made a popular hit as was shown by the laughter and applause of the audience.

On the 28th of September, 1917, the Freshman class attended its first High School party. The decorations were carried out in the colors of the two classes. At one end of the Gym a “20” of red and white, and at the opposite end a “21“ of burnt orange and white gazed down on the throng of bashful “Freshies” and happy “Sophs”. The baskets were also attired in holiday costume with their festive streamers and greens. With the timidity of the Freshmen as their first thought, the Sophs had planned many simple “Get Acquainted Games”, which all proved• effective and before many minutes passed, they had all entered in with a zest and hearty good will. The latter part of the evening was spent in dancing, and many upperclassmen had arrived to lend themselves as decorations, but the music ol our beloved High School orchestra was so enticing that they were soon tripping the light fantastic merrily with the rest. Friday evening, Xov. Hi, the Juniors, always having been noted for their originality, entertained the High School with a novel barn dance. The Gym was quite “dressed up” for the occasion, while greens, class colors and pennants with the aid of straw were used with the tyc.cal “barney” effect. Real jazz was the main attraction of the evening, and the class of ’19 deserve credit for its success. The Senior Class, not to he outdone by the Juniors, gave a “Fi. icy Costume” dance in the Gym on Friday evening, Jan. 18. It was attractively decorated with large cedar ropes, which were carried diagonally from each corner, while many bright colored Japanese lanterns swung from the —97— Q U I N I A (J L T evergreens. It was a very cosmopolitan crowd, as all nationalities, Dutch girls, Scotch Highlanders, Oriental Princesses, Colonial dames and Uncle Sam’s soldiers all mixed agreeably together. During the latter part of the evening, the serpentine and gay disorder of the-Gym reminded one strangely of a street carnival, but this and the music added much to make the occasion a success. The Junior Promenade given by the class of ’19 in the Armory on April 5, proved a triumph financially as well as socially. Much time and ability had been spent on the decorations, which were the most attractive the majority of the students had seen—this being the first real honest-to-goodness High School dance that many of them had been able to attend, it will he the occasion for many happy thoughts in the future. Massive cedar ropes were the foundation, and formed many elusive festoons from the ends to the center of the hall. The class colors were carried out in many schemes, the most effective was that of the lights and paper streamers, which were representative of fans along the sides of the hall. The lights, under the management of Edward Carpenter, added much to the scene, and a large electrical ’19 of purple and gold very peacefully allowed an ’18 of green and white to remain on the opposite side. The most noticeable feature to the arriving guests was the immense American Flag (loaned by the Elks Club) which hung at the lower end of the hall, and lent a patriotic atmosphere to the dance. Splendid music was furnished by Slattery’s Orchestra, and much credit for the success of the Prom is due to the general chairman, Miss Sharp, and the General committee, Alba Shipman, Leslie Morgan and Russell Austin. The closing social event of the school year was the Senior Ball, given by the graduating class, May 10th in the Armory. The hall was very artistically decorated in the class colors, green and white. Cedar rope latticed with streamers of white crepe paper, with dainty paper butterflies of many colors fluttered from tin bower of green. The class colors were also displayed in the lighting effects and in the 1918 numerals. The punch both was most attractive with its gay festoons of green and white and with the little Misses Sylvia Wolff and Frances Karshner serving punch to the thirsty dancers. About one hundred couples enjoyed the dancing and the girls in their pretty dresses gave the necessary touch to the lights, decorations and music to make a most pleasing effect. The entire senior class is to he congratulated on its success as well as Ed. Carpenter, ’19, who is fast becoming the professional electrician for all high school activities. —98— MARIAN VERNON, ’19.

CLIFFORD CAMERON, ’21- —99— Q UINIAULT The Young Men’s Commercial Club A summons for the assembly of all boys interested in the formation of a Young Men’s Commercial Club was sounded Sept. 21. The result was a large turnout and great enthusiasm. As none of the former officers were present, Mr. Ilolmquist presided at the meeting, read the constitution and gave plans for the formation of a new Club. Officers elected were: Edgar Anderson, president; Clarence Callison, vice-president; Leslie Morgan, treasurer and Olney McClung, secretary. The new Club also decided to adopt the constitution and by-laws drawn up by the former Club. No regular meetings were held this year, but a meeting was called whenever needed. One of the first things taken up by the Club was a banquet at the Hotel Washington, Jan. 8. Several members of the Club were called on to give talks. Mr. Wolff and Mr. Ilolmquist were guests and gave excellent talks. I he feed was good and the lively bunch made things bum from beginning to end. A little later the Club presented the school with a splendid eight foot by twelve foot service flag, in honor of A. H. S. men in the service. The committee for finding the number of men in the service reported about 180 names, and the flag has been decorated with that many stars. Another land mark which went down in the Commercial Club’s history was the management of the Older Hoys Conference held in Aberdeen, Feb. 22-23-24. It was the first time a Commercial Club of this kind has ever handled so big a proposition, and the Conference leaders were very much interested in it. Some interest was shown in garden work for the coming summer, and some of the expert gardeners formed a Club. Lester Pinckney was elected president; Charles Elfbrandt, treasurer and Merrill Ilill. secretary. At a meeting April 29, it was suggested that the Club have another banquet at the Washington, for the closing event of the year. The happy memories of our other feed influenced a unanimous vote for it. Members of the Young Men’s Commercial Club are: Alba Shipman. Leslie Morgan, Clifford McNair, Lennart Strommer, Herbert Ellison, Ed. Carpenter, Olney McClung, Clarence Callison, Gerald Crary, John Covert, Perry Clark, Orland Deuell, Wm. Morley, Merrill Hill.

The Day was warm, and when liis subjects came in, two did not take their regular seats, but sat down by the window. The room became quiet. A deathly silence covered all. Then—the King spoke in a tone of authority. “Take your seats. But it was cool by the window. One boy said that lie could study where lie was. The King immediately got purple with rage. To have his commands questioned!!! It was outrageous! “I said, take your seats!’’ he said, with a terrible scowl on his face. The two culprits were struck with awe and fear. They meekly took their seats. Girls were the King's failing. One fair maid coyly asked a question regarding a certain grammatical construction. At once the scowl faded. In its place a smile spread itself out, that would have made that of Douglas Fairbanks look like a mud fence. lie explained at some length, and was going to venture some bold remark to the fair maid, when his ear caught a sound from the back of the room. At once the scowl came back. “Shut your trap,” lie roared. The room shook. When the chairs had stopped trembling, quiet once more ruled. Then the King stood up, threw out his chest and took the position of Peter the Great as illustrated on page 713 of the Bolshevik textbook. lie was ready for the day’s work. The subjects were instructed to translate into English the lesson on page 159. His eyes fell on the fair maid, as they often did, and again the Rooseveltian smile covered his face. “You may translate,” he said. During the translation, he helped her over all the rough places—he always did. Other fair maids were called upon, and they were also helped over the rough places. Then his manner changed. The horrible scowl again took possession. Again chairs trembled. “You may translate,” he roared. The boy in question meekly said that he was not prepared. The next boy tried. He hesitated and faltered, but no help did he get, instead, commands to do it right. At last every one has been called upon. The study period began. One person, the fair maid, complained about the length of the lesson. The King looked pensive, and at the fair maid. “It IS a little long,” lie said sweetly, “You may leave out the composition.” So ended another ordeal with the King of the Bolshevik class. —104— DE WITT BERTRAND, ’19.
