Q U I N I A U L T The crowning event of Junior history was, of course, the Junior Trom. given in the Armory, on February 28, 1919. Beautiful decorations of greens and class colors cleverly arranged gave evidence of careful planning and much hard work. Everyone pronounced the affair decidedly successful. Senior Year As we entered the A. H. S. in September to begin our last year in high school it was with the determination to make this year more successful and enjoyable than any preceding year. This was a high standard, hut, as we stand ready to depart from High School life, we feel that our efforts have not been in vain. Our officers were very efficient and led the class with much pep and spirit. They were: Cecil Callison, President; George Mitchell, Vice President; Nora Johnson, Secretary, and Ernest Eddy, Treasurer. Athletics brought honor to the class this year also, the Seniors being exceptionally well represented in football, basketball, baseball and track. Both boys’ and girls’ basketball teams won interclass championships. The Senior Play, “A Strenuous Life,” was given at the Grand Theatre on Friday evening, February thirteenth. All superstitions about Friday, the thirteenth, are forgotten when one thinks of the success of the play both from the standpoint of acting and finances. Mrs. Carl Nelson was the coach and deserves much credit for its success. The Senior Ball was the most elaborate affair of the school year. Committees worked hard for several weeks previous to the eventful evening and the triumph at that time was due to a great extent to their conscientious efforts. We hope that the members of the Class of 1920 will have the same success in the broader walks of life that they have had during High School years; and in closing the Class extends its hearty thanks to Miss Sharp, Class Advisor, and best wishes to all friends, especially fellow students and teachers.

Q U I N I A U L T Jlifitorp of Class of 1920 Four years have elapsed since the members of the Class of 1920 entered the halls of learning of A. H. S. as Freshmen. These years have seen many changes in the roll of the class, but the Class of '20 has always won honor in any activities which it, as a whole, or individual members, has entered. Freshman Year With the same amount of “grceness” that characterizes all Freshies, the trembling members of the Class of 1920 entered A. H. S. on September 5, 1916. Overlooking such slight errors as getting in the wrong classrooms and forgetting due respect to the prestige of the Upper Classmen, the Freshies got along splendidly. The Freshman Reception given by the Sophomores served the purpose of putting us youngsters more at ease. A class meeting was held soon after the opening of school and the following officers were elected: President, Peter Murchison; Vice President, Phil Sherk; Secretary, Sue Hunt; Treasurer, Orland Deuell. Red and white were chosen for class colors, and the red rosebud as our class flower. I11 athletics the class was well represented by Sherk, Carlson, Clarence Callison, Amburst in football; Sherk, Carlson, and Ed Schustra in basketball; Schustra and Tebb in track. Our shining light in declamation was Ruth Hill, who won, not only the High School, but the County Declamatory contest as well. Sophomore Year Great was our rejoicing when we returned to school as Sophomores; the Upper Gasmen now had someone else to jeer at. The Freshman Reception was given in the Gym, and was very successful; it proved a good “mixer and the delight of the Freshies was a pleasure to see. The officers for the year were: President, Clarence Callison; Vice President, Perry Clark; Secretary, Orland Deuell; Treasurer, Cecil Callison. Winners of the “A” in football were Bellman and Callison, and in basketball, Carlson, Schustra and Elfbrandt. Interclass track meet honors were carried off by the Sophs, much to the surprise of the school. Junior Year Upper Classmen at last! after two long years of anticipation. Of course, events were more numerous and delightful than those of the preceding years. Mention must be made of the pep of the class as evidenced by yells at assemblies and at athletic contests. The officers for the Junior year were: Vernon Bellman, President; Gerald Crary, Vice President; Helen Morley, Secretary, and Toe Blickle, Treasurer. Representatives of the class in athletics were Carlson, Clark, Bellman, Callison, Stoops and 1 ebb. Cecil Callison distinguished himself by winning the gold medal in Manual of Arms drill both in his Sophomore and Junior years. —26—

Q u I N I AULT Class :Propf)ecp Scene: New York. At Madame La Reynolds’ Marcelle Parlors. Year 1935. There is a great hurry and scurry in Madame La Reynolds’ Marcelle Parlors in New York City as there is to be a Millionaire Ball in the evening. The waiting room is already full when “Brrrr” goes the office bell. (Enter Miss Nora Johnson). Maid: “I am sorry, but we could not possibly accommodate you today.” Nora Johnson: “But it is absolutely necessary. Will you call Madame La Reynolds?” (Enter Madame La Reynolds.) Mine. La R.: “I am sorry, but you see the girls have all they can do now. Nora: “But I will pay you double tonight, as I am celebrating my graduation from Aberdeen High School. Mine. La R.: “Well, if it isn't Nora Johnson, our class secretary. What are you doing here?” Nora: “After I left High School I came East to be an actress. You know I was always strong for that ever since the ‘Senior Play.’ ” Mine. La R.: “Yes. Have you heard or seen anything of any of the Class of ’20?” Nora: “Yes; Frances Rosenberg and Edna Lindstrom are chief telephone operators at ‘Talk Less City.’ It is just a small city but on one of my tours I went to send a telegram and I recognized them.” Mine. La R.: “Didn’t you recognize my maid? She is Sylvia Strommer.” Nora: “I didn’t recognize her with her marcelle. Do you know Blue Beard, the mystery man who is in town? Let’s go and see if he knows where the other members of our class have gone.” Mine. La R.: “Let us go right now. We will ask him for a private interview.” (At the Waldorf. Half an hour later.) Nora: “Why, if it isn’t Perry Clark. What have you been doing all these years?” Bluebeard: “Why, I’ve been making a success of mystery, and have found out where some of the old classmates are located.” Mine. La R.: “Why, that’s what we came to find out.” Nora : “Have you ever come across my old friends, Helen Orton and Marian Blodgett?” Bluebeard: “Oh, yes; I ran across Helen at Atlantic City—She is now a second Annette Kellerman, and Marian Blodgett is playing the calliope in the circus.” Mine. La R.: “How about Beatrice Weaver and Bessie William- son ?” —28—
