Q U I N I A U L T Mentor Class JNtorp Chapter I. 1917-18. FRESHMEN! What a grand day it has been; so much excitement, and so much to see. I’m going to keep this diary all through my high school career, and maybe some day it will be as great as Pepy’s or Samuel Sewell’s. IIow wonderful to gain fame in such a romantic way. This is to be my one ambition. Sept. 8.—I heard the funniest thing today. Some of the seniors were telling how so many freshmen: were lost on the first day of school. Sept. 19.—Class meeting held today. Just think, there are 96 of us. 1 wonder how many will graduate. We had an election of officers and chose Harold Longmire, president; Jean Lewis, vice-president; Doris Neiss, treasurer; Vera Lupton, secretary. Our colors are brunt orange and white. Oct. 12.—The sophomores gave us a reception. It was a gorgeous affair. Russell Gurrad and Geloid Fulseth came with long pants. My, they were good looking. Emmett Anderson said they looked like dummies. I can’t see the point, only that he was jealous because he couldn’t wear some too. Nov. 20.—My! I have had such a good time I haven’t had time to write in my diary for ages. Let’s see what has happened? Oh yes! Jean Lewis lias been elected treasurer, because Harold Parks left school. All of our class money is to be spent for jerseys for the boys, and there is a wonderful plan to have them burnt orange with white stripes. Dec. 20.—Vacation begins. I am going to have a good time eating my Christmas dinner. Jan. 27.—Oh dear! Semester exams, I wish I had studied harder and been honored. Next semester, I’m going to do better. March 1.—A garden club has been organized. Arthur Tanner and Harold Miller are racing to see which of their pigs will get the prize. March 12.—Spring vacation and only two months more of school. 1 am going to work to be honored this time. May ](j.—Saturday we had our picnic at Westport. We went on the Champion. Jean Finch and Marjorie Gillis found a haunted house and saw a snake. Marjorie cried all the way home because she knew she was going to dream about ghosts and green snakes. Jean Lewis was found wandering along the beach looking for sea shells. Said she intended to string them some day. June 16.—School closed—no more diary till next fall. Oh, for vacation! Chapter II. 1918-19. Sept. 8.—Sophomores. One step of advancement. The seniors can’t look down on us so much. What a shame our number has decreased, only 82 of us now. Sept. 16.—We elected our officers today. Llewelyn Bertrand, president; Waldo Hart, vice-president; Mable Westenhaver, secretary; and —31—

Q U I N I A U L T Stanley Spiegle, treasurer. There’s a rumor of a reception soon. How great, our first bit of entertaining. Sept. 30.—Well, we did it, ami it was a grand success, too. Donald Anderson came wearing a new tie, some kind of Japanese creation. Supposed to be the newest thing. Dec. 1.—Basketball—heart’s delight. Mearl Dole, Karl Gerhardl, and Milton Pulver have honored our class in second team basketball. Helen Ilobi has gone. I’m so lonesome, but she says she will be back next year. It must be great to go away to school. Ilazel Madison and Doris Xeiss have gained first team places on basketball. Some day they are going to be stars, I bet. March 20.—Spring vacation again. How I look forward to entering as a Junior. Chapter III. 1919-20. Sept. 2.—Upper classmen. Now for the happiest time of my life. We have increased to 110 students. Oct. 4.—Class election today. The officers were Tom Mathews, president, Lance Green, vice-president, Hazel Madison, secretary, Elizabeth McDermoth, treasurer. Jan. 31.—Junior Prom—a wonderful success. Rex DeLong’s art of decorating can not be surpassed. I heard many compliments from our guests. June 12.—Quiniaults are sure good looking, I hope we can produce such good ones. Chapter IV. 1920-21. Aug. 31.—Seniors! My how 1 used to envy that name. It certainly seemed far, far beyond my reach and in fact it seems impossible that the class of ’21 is at last seniors. Sept. 16.—Class election today. The officers are Milton Pulver, president; Harold Cameron, vice-president; Aileen Briefly, secretary; Tom Mathews, treasurer. I think they are a noble lot, myself. Oct. 4.—Picked class yells, they sure are good ones. Lyle Kenyon was appointed yell leader. Oct. 20.—Junior-Senior party. Something new in the way of parties. Hubert Lewis created piite a sensation by drinking too much punch. Dec. 7.—Sunburst rose was adopted for our class flower. This is an orange rose supposed to be very beautiful. Feb. 4.—“Senora D’Arquilla.” our class play. One of the best plays ever produced by the Aberdeen high school. I’m proud to belong to the class of ’21. Harold Miller proved to be a very able girl. March 23.—Our class motto. “Play the Game,” has been adopted. April 21.—Quiniault dedicated to Mr. Ilolmquist. A fine idea I think. May 20.—Senior Ball. Our final entertainment and it was wonderful. Just to think that this is our last, that there shall be no more class of ’21. is enough to make anyone catch his breath. But who knows, some thing is yet to happen, that shall break all records of our good times and nothing shall mar our most pleasant memories. Vera Lupton ’21 —32—
