The class graduating this month is the seventeenth to leave our school since I have been connected with the work of the city. I have watched the careers of these graduates and find that most of them have been successful in life. A few have fallen by the wayside. As I view the situation, the chief difference between those who have succeeded and those who have failed lies in the single element of staying power. It has been by tenacity of purpose rather than by sudden dash, however brilliant, that the success has been won. Hindrances, checks and trials, instead of defeating, have brought out the native force of the successful ones. Success is the child of two very plain parents—punctuality and accuracy. There are critical moments in every successful life when if the mind hesitates or the nerve flinches all will be lost. There is a well known truism that has almost been elevated to the dignity of a maxim, that what may be done at any time will be done at no time. The energy wasted in postponing until tomorrow a duty of today would often do the work. What would have been done at the time with pleasure or even enthusiasm, after it has been delayed for days becomes drudgery. Doing a deed is like sowing a seed; if not done at just the right time it will be forever out of season. Promptness is one of the practical virtues of civilization, a few minutes often makes the difference between victory or defeat, sucess or failure. Do not attempt too many things Every person, as early in life as possible, should endeavor to ascertain the strongest faculty of his mind or body, fitting him for some one pursuit, and bend all his energies to bring it to perfection. Emerson once said that a man is like a bit of Labrador spar, which has no lustre as you turn it in your hand, until you come to a particular angle; then it shows deep and beautiful colors. The greatest benefactors of mankind have not d.ssipated their energies and are known by quality rather than by the number of their works. Finally, your success will depend upon your will power and whatever weakens or impairs your will, diminishes your chance for success. You should learn to will decisively and strongly. It is not talent that people lack but it is the will to labor with a purpose. The vacillating man is pushed aside in the race of life. A person with determination that nothing will check his career is sure, if he has perseverance and grit, to succeed. May I close with these familiar words— “Live for something, have a purpose And this purpose keep in view, Drifting like a helpless vessel Thou can’st ne’er to life be true. Half the wrecks that strew life’s pathway If some star had been their guide Might have long been riding safely But they drifted with the tide.” GEORGE B. MILLER. —16— QUIN1AULT FROM THE CLASS OF TWENTY-FOUR By Emily Dalton. It seems to us for the moment That the sunset before us lies, When we leave our school for the future Which is the sunrise. Four long short years we have struggled We have laughed, and learned, and grown; And the days which we leave behind us Are the happiest days we’ve known. But what of the days still before us? May we one and all prove true To the high ideals and standards You have taught us, G dd and Blue. And now we of the Gold and Purple Pause for a moment before We leave, asking you to remember The Class of Twenty-Four! SENIOR CLASS MOTTO We shall use our knowledge in that field which will enable us to accomplish the most for society. SENIOR CLASS YELL Blood, murder, hate, gore, Seniors, Seniors, ’24.

We have held these truths to be self-evident ever since we took that really wise step of our careers—that all people are created equal; that, in consequence, all our precious members were given certain unalienable rights, away back in the year 1920; that among these were (1) the right to protect our lives by studying; (2) the right of liberty after the 3:10 bell; and (3) the right to pursue our happiness by mingling with upperclassmen. That to secure these rights, and then to hold them, that certain individuals, deriving their powers from us, had to be chosen to lead us. The government instituted was composed of these individuals: Edward Larkin, president; Helen Mumaw, vice-president; Helen Kleeb, secretary; Kenneth Skinner, treasurer; and Wilmet Martin, board of control member. This government, laying its foundation on success, and organizing its powers in perfect form, guided us in our choice of the colors, purple and gold, by which we were to be stamped for three consecutive years. But the right “to pursue our happiness” was not secured through our system of government, for a neighboring power, the Sophomores, held an accustomed annual reception for us, thus showing a design to reduce us under absolute despotism. The history of our three remaining years is a history of repeated victories and limelight aggressions, all, in direct object, terminating in the establishment of an absolute tyranny when we became Seniors. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. —41— Q U I N I A U L T The following year when we entered school we gave ourselves the very representative name of Sophomores. We provided new guards for our future security, among whom were Leo Little, president; Norma Oura, vice-president; Mona Pulver, secretary; Donald Johnston, treasurer; and Edward Larkin, board of control member. We helped the Freshmen “pursue their happiness” at an annual reception for them. Our girls tied with the Senior girls in basketball. Among our many athletic celebrities were Mona Pulver and Edward Larkin, who won their letters in basketball. Ora Shutt was a promising center and we regret having lost her. We have twelve members in our class, who affixed their “John Hancocks” to the charter of the Honor Society. Next year we called ourselves Juniors. Our officials were Malcolm Stockwell, president; Mage Rice, vice-president; Fanny Hannula, secretary; Jack Rehm, treasurer; and Edward Larkin, board of control member. A costume ball unusual was given this year in the gymnasium. Black and orange streamers, balloons, and numerals of the Seniors and Juniors made a proper background for the Hallowe’en dance. We shall be remembered this year for reviving two of the school’s most cherished customs, namely, the popular custom of giving class programs, and the editing of a Junior issue of the Ocean Breeze. The Junior Assembly, during which one of the most original programs of the year was presented, and the Junior edition of the Ocean Breeze, which, with its abundant poetry, prose, and its original style, containing many ideas for future editions, are only two of the many aforementioned “aggressions.” The words “Juniors” and “Trophy Case” are two very closely related expressions when used in connection with the class of ’24; for, as the little brass epithet on the face of this much needed relic proclaims, we deprived the rest of the school of its study hour, only to present it that well chosen adornment. There was no drawback to the number of people attending the annual Junior Prom given in the Moose Hall. The attractive decorations, including a large electric sign, lent much to its success. This year our boys were champs in both baseball and track. —42— Q U I N I A U L T Too much can not be said of the Commencement dance held in the gymnasium. The hall was decorated beautifully in every detail and the Seniors seemed to enjoy themselves immensely. Again we have changed our name. We are now SENIORS! This year we erected a multitude of new offices and those receiving them were Jack Rehm, president; Edward Larkin, vice-president; Harriet Milette, secretary; Mona Pulver, treasurer; William Long, board of control member; Norma Oura, class will executive; Conley Stone, class prophet; and Ella Westerback, class historian. We gave a real assembly on our dress-up day. Hair ribbons, ruffles, pet dolls and lollypops bedecked us that day;—yes, a merry, carefree, joyous, giggling group of Seniors. The program rendered was unique and carried one back to childhood days. We certainly proved our ability to entertain when the Junior-Senior Barn dance was given in the gymnasium, and the dance, honoring the football team, given in the Knights of Pythias Hall, was equally successful. This dance, which was informal, was the first of its kind, for up to this time no class had given a dance in which members of the football squad acted as guests of honor. We were a great factor in the production of the annual Hi Jinx, which excelled all performances of previous years. “Dulcy,” the Senior Class play, was a crowning event of the season’s repertoire. The Senior Ball held at the Knights of Pythias Hall was another of our wonderful achievements. Let these facts prove our superiority, and may the chapters we have added to the history of our school be the brightest therein. We, therefore, the members of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Four, appealing to every one in general, for the rectitude of our statements, do, in the name, and by the authority, of the honorable people of this school solemnly publish and declare our history for the benefit of those who may hear or read it. —43— —Ella Westerback ’24 Q U I N I A U L T WE, THE SENIOR CLASS of 1924, of the Weatherwax High School, City of Aberdeen, State of Washington, realizing that the time of our departure draws near, and still being of presumably sound mind, concentrated efforts of the combined faculty to the contrary notwithstanding, also stoically disregarding the grief and desolation of our about-to-be-abandoned fellow schoolmates, do hereby proclaim and establish this, our final will and testament in manner and form following, to-wit: FIRST—To our beloved and careworn faculty we leave our heartfelt respect and gratitude, knowing that we shall come to appreciate all that they have done for us even more in the future, and ask forgiveness for our many sins (both of omission and commission.) SECOND—To Mr. Balkema, our esteemed and long-suffering principal, we leave memories, fond we hope, of his first senior class. THIRD—To Miss Finley, who has shared all our troubles and guided us through all our difficulties to success, in the past four years, we leave Leo Little, that she may not forget us, since we cannot take her with us. FOURTH—To the Juniors, we leave the following cherished possessions and advice: 1. Our seats in assembly with the customary privileges, both granted and taken, of the mighty seniors. (Our ability to formulate original ideas we are taking with us, since we consider the results of such ideas sufficient to leave behind us.) 2. Don’t mistake your session period for an hour of recreation. We have tried it. 3. Don’t step on the Freshmen in the hall, step over them. 4. Remember that excuses may be mailed home. To the Sophomores and Freshmen we leave the memory of our brilliant deeds as a shining light to guide them on their way.

I, Eddie Larkin, leave to Shiek Edward those I am not taking with me, as I would like to keep them in the family. We, Dorothy Pugh and Reynold Heatlie, having been left together last year, remain so. To Benny Matzkind, I, John Pilas, leave one deep bass voice in good condition, although well used, fearing that he may wear his own out.

To Marian Abel, I, Verna McCullough, bequeath my art of chewing gum, hoping that with more modern improvements, she may escape unnoticed in Mr. Hong’s classes. To Elizabeth Madison, I, Helen McNair, leave one well used volume on “How to Deal With Over-numerous Suitors.” To George Peterson, I, Conley Stone, bequeath my capacity for getting along with the fair sex without quarreling. To Elwell Chabot, I, Malcolm Stockwell, leave my oratorical skill and my “ways with the wimmin,” hoping that he will use it to good advantage. To Romayne Fuller, I, Edith Sperring, leave my habit of throwing away what is supposed to be saved in chemical experiments.

SENIOR CLASS OF 1924. —48— Q U I N I A U L T PROPHECY RADIO BROADCASTING IN 1934 We are broadcasting from station QDP. It is the year 1934 A. D. We are sending the latest news in regard to present-day interests. Senator Vieno Salo (Wash.) has introduced a bill which makes the janitor of the White House President of the United States in case of the death or inability of the President cr the Vice-President. The President, having lost all his pets because of indigestion, has ordered the cook, Evelyn Giffin, to use nothing but canned foods. Wedding ceremonies are absolutely scientifically conducted, according to a woman formerly known as Dorothy Phillips, who testifies that Harriet Milette has introduced the plan of hiding behind the scene and prompting the victims on every answer. Howard Swift, as football coach of the International Correspondence School, has turned out a most successful eleven this spring. He will not have charge of the baseball next fall. Sue Baker, editor of the Sears-Roebuck Catalogue, and Horace McNair, editor of Police Gazette, have consolidated their periodicals and the new publication will be known as the Roebuck Gazette. A swindler bearing the name of James Nudelman was arrested for selling fake oil stock. A charge of graft on the part of Senators Zemlicka, Novak, Pilas and Cams was investigated by a senatorial committee. True to their high school spirit and habit, the senators divulged none of their secrets. They answered the cross-examination with “I don’t remember” or “I don’t know.” Bertel Mattila was fined $3,000 for offering the judge a witty remark. The judge termed it contempt of court. Alexander Hall, the fastest man outside of the Wishkah Grange Dance Hall, is long distance messenger boy for Montgomery, Ward and Co. He runs in his stocking feet, using “Holeproof Hosiery,” sold by Elsie Butler. The secret of the widespread sale and use of W. K. Kellogg’s Corn Flakes has been solved at last. It’s the original signature. Ella —49— Q U I N I A U L T Westerback sold her handwriting to the firm and is now devising a new signature for Ona Carlson’s Everlasting Chewing Gum trademark. Margaret Burgess, famous bed-time story writer, has made a success of an easy way to rock babies to sleep. She uses a catapult to hurl the rocks. The A La Klufton Bob for stylish young women, introduced by Arthur Klufton, the famous hair dresser of Paris, is fast gaining the favor of the women. The Dalton fringed skirt is now the rage in New York. Miss Emily Dalton has been recognized as an authority for styles. The latest for sheiks is the Klemmens Knovelty Knickers, introduced by the fashionable Tony Mahonen. Solid geometry is now being taught in the Fiji Islands by the Oura method of Mathematical and Geometrical Interpretation by fancy dancing. Miss Oura has made wonderful strides in her field. Louise Nielsen, having craved action for five years, has at last satisfied her appetite. She is in the island of Haiti teaching the natives how to speak the modern English slang. A branch of the Hong Institute of Historical Research has been established in the Samoan Islands under the direction of Miss Lillian Hall. Martha Niemi is doing a wonderful piece of work for humanity. She is teaching the Bolsheviks in Russia to eat spaghetti without cutting it or stopping for breath. Verna McCullough has reaped a golden harvest with her particular sort of “Syckle.” The Cosmopolis Matrimonial Bureau is under the new management of Mary Ochoski and Charlene Putnam. The managers are planning a similar bureau for mending broken hearts in Ocosta by the Sea. A successful campaign against cigarette smoking by men and women and the consuming of legal and illicit liquor and chewing gum has been carried on by Miss Mona Pulver, formerly of the A. H. S. Her success is noted by the increase in the sale of Ford cars, another bad habit. Turkey and the United States break off relations due to the imprisonment of an American citizen, Stanley J. Copland, who was imprisoned on a charge of alienating the affections of 57 of the sultan’s wives. Henry Duncan is in Russia trying to argue Leon Trotsky out of his position, but the Secretary of State, Arnold Hegg, is contemplating replacing Duncan with a woman of a convincing tongue— Helen McNair. Kenneth Skinner, a scientist employed by the Limited Limburger Cheese Company, during work of analyzing gases and identifying —50— Q U I N I A U L T them by their odors, discovered in the cheese the presence of a gas that can be effectively used as an anaesthetic. The Fosjack sisters and Tekla Eng have compounded a smokeless face powder and a beauty clay compounded with Wishkah River mud, iron filings and tar. The famous baritone, Lorraine Smith, will sing from the top of the show house roof. Radio operators are advised not to operate their radios during the recital because the volume would shake the sets to pieces. Henry S'trommer, manager of Flo Ziegfield’s Follies, was crosseyed because of the unaccustomed eye-strain. His eyes were corrected by the use of Tanlac. Francis Fisher has devised a new player piano with a gear shift, balloon tires, muffler and rocking chair. It is known as the Kos-mopolis Knockout Kpiano Kplayer. Ear pads may be obtained from William Goehrend, who lost his hearing when the instrument was demonstrated. Famous last words: “Let George do it,” Opal Dingman, housewife. “Gimme some paper and a pen,” William Palmroth, president of the Gimme Gang. Saxophone lessons and other surgical operations. See Dr. Geo. G. Karshner. Learn to play a steam calliope and get into the circus game. See Prof. Martin Lund. Save the surface and you save all. Use Reynold Heatlie’s book on “How to Apply Paints, Varnishes, Cosmetics and Enamels.” Price 30c post paid from Aberdeen, Wash. Yellow Strand Wire Rope and other Logging Supplies. J. R. Rehm Co., Inc. Station QDP speaking. The following is the program of the performances at the theatres this week: Pantages: “Runt” Larkin and his five little golden-haired “runts” in a novelty act. Liberty: “My Hero,” featuring the winsome Martha March and the dashing Malcolm Stockwell. Added feature—a rousing comedy with Ben Turpin, Newbey Green and Bud Long. Metropolitan: Cantwell Brothers present “Hamlet,” the great- est of Shakespearian tragedies. Also a one-act horse play. Station QDP speaking. A lecture on “Recognize and Develop Your Ambitions,” by Clifford Leitch, publicity man for Vassar College, follows: Ladies and gentlemen and students of the class of ’34: Some of you, no doubt, remember me from the days of ’24, when some of you were freshmen, sophomores and even juniors. The purpose of my —51— Q U I N I A U L T visit today is to bring home to you by specific examples the importance of recognizing your ambitions early, and then develop them to the highest limit of your dreams and capacities. First you must find what your ambitions are, lest you lead yourself astray. Two young men wasted six years at the U. of W. on medicine, and then found their “call” as barkers for a circus sideshow. You may remember them by name, Paul Fishel and Elof Holm-lund. Second, when you hear your “call” build your castles on it and pursue your ambitions until you have completed those castles. We have a good example of just such a person in the Grand Central Railroad Station in Chicago, barking out the train schedules. Helen Mumaw, who, by the way, is the example, is at the height of her dreams, and glory. She is greatly indebted to a former school teacher, H. W. Hong, for the recommendation for the position. Another example is that of a girl who gave friendly advice to school girls as president of the C. O. G. This girl, known as Ruth Minkler, is also located in the Grand Central Station, and as matron of the Travelers’ Aid Society is giving friendly advice to traveling girls. Third, ambition must be backed by ability. Now we have in the U. S. Secret Service two very efficient code writers. They were recommended by former school teachers, who were convinced that our military secrets would be safe in their writing. We feel that it it would be unwise to divulge the names of Waino J. Autio and Howard Hazle, as this would be interesting information for foreign secret service men. Now, my friends, just a word of advice. No matter what your work, learn to keep your business and what you know of the other fellow’s business under your hat. I just recommended six young men and women to positions as private secretaries to oil dealers and government officials, because they never tell anything. You might remember some of them, Robert Covert, Sydney Edwards, Florence Skinner, Katherine Tiefanthaler, Edith Sperring and Effie Williams. Station QDP speaking. We are happy to be able to introduce at this time the latest song hit of the season: (To the tune of Barney Google) Evar Carlson With the red and curly hair, Evar Carlson Has a wife who doesn’t care. She is deaf and dumb and blind, Wonder why she doesn’t mind? Evar Carlson With the red and curly hair. —52— Q U I N 1 A U L T Donald Johnston With his dream-dream-dreamy eyes, Donald Johnston Is a guy who testifies That life’s nothing but a dream, Folks are never what they seem, Donald Johnston With his dream-dream-dreamy eyes. Station QDP speaking. In concluding our program we will have Harry Williams tell a few of his famous bed-time stories. Wilmet had a little husband, No bigger than her thumb, She put him in a pint pot, And there she bid him drum. She gave him some garters To garter up his hose, And a little handkerchief To wipe his pretty nose. Pat a cake, pat a cake, Sue Baker’s man Will come to her quickly and as fast as he can; She will mix a little cake and put it in a pan, And then he will eat it just like a little man. Little LaBree, come blow your horn, The sheep’s in the meadow, the cow’s in the corn. Where’s the little boy that tends the sheep? He’s under the haycock fast asleep. Fat Johnny shall have a new bonnet, And fat Johnny shall go to the fair, Fat Johnny shall have a blue ribbon To tie up his bonny fair hair. Station QDP speaking. This concludes our program for this evening. Good night, everybody. —53— CLASS OF 1925 • • - 1 QUINIAULT JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY September: Well, here we are, back again in the dear old school, and think of it—Juniors! Ever since we were eighth-graders we have looked forward to being upperclassmen, and now we’re it! The officers we have elected for the year are: Lowell Slover, president; Kearny Clark, vice-president; Sam Murchison, secretary; George Peterson, treasurer; John Forbes, yell-leader; Harry Mc-Keever and George McCrimmon, sergeants-at-arms; William O’Connor, member of the Board of Control. October: The Junior-Senior Barn Dance is over. “A fine time was had by all.” Nuff sed. January: The Junior issue of the Ocean Breeze came out. My, we were proud! This is the second time that a Junior class has published an issue of the Ocean Breeze. February: Junior Dress-up Day! The girls were dressed in dainty old-fashioned gowns, with hoop-skirts, curls and kerchiefs, but—the boys looked like tramps. The assembly given on the same day was exceptional. Even yet we are moved to tears (of laughter) when we think of the sad plight of Ed. The Junior Prom was given in the Knights of Pythias hall, which was most attractively decorated. March: Honor Society pins were awarded today, and sixteen Juniors received two-bar pins. April: Wellington Groves, a Junior, won a first prize in the Shakespearian contest at the University of Washington. Our class also won a prize of ten dollars for selling the greatest number of Quiniault tickets in one week. We claim a number of basketball and football stars, and are proud of what we have done. We return next year to win more laurels for A. H. S'.

They reassembled last September, but this time, as they had lost their thin coat of timidness in the great forest of experience, they seemed quite a bit braver. A strong-looking chieftain called Ray was chosen to lead them in all of their undertakings. A certain young brave, Morton, was made second chieftain, while Pauline, a young and beautiful maiden, was chosen to bead the history of the tribe. They soon realized that they needed a trustworthy brave to watch over their possessions, and they found him in Louis. The banner which they bore was red and white, and their war-cry was “S-S-OPH-O-MORE-S-S!!” This happened on the twelfth day of the ninth moon, and in another war-meeting they decided that they should establish peace with the “Tribe of Twenty-Seven.” The Weatherwax was their meeting place and soon all were smoking their peace pipes, as all thoughts of war had been abolished. They presented an assembly before ail the neighboring tribes on the seventeenth day of the third moon. All bore their banners and were in their dress of red and white. So far this tribe has met with success in all its undertakings, and hopes to continue to do so after they have left the Sophomore territory. —Dena King ’26 —57— CLASS OF 1926 QUINIAULT Sophomore Class Officers RAYMOND McGOWAN President MORTON CORNER Vice-President PAULINE KAIFER Secretary LOUIS MOORE T reasurer SOPHOMORE CLASS ROLL Marian Abel.

It was not long, however, before we became active in school affairs, for we soon showed everybody how much pep and school spirit we really did have. At our first class meeting, we elected Clyde Easterly president, Richard Harvey, vice-president, Marshall Hartley, secretary, Margaret Delanty, treasurer, and Margaret Fribley as representative on the Board of Control. Evelyn Fechter was later elected to take the place of vice-president, instead of Richard Harvey. Our class was entertained at the annual Freshman Reception, given by the Sophomores. Everyone except the vice-president had a good time. The Freshman class has been well represented in school activities during the year. The inter-class declamatory contest was won by Bertha Schafer, a Freshman. About one-half of the Junior Dramatic Club is composed of Freshmen. Our class made a good showing in the algebra contest, in scholarship, in football and in all school activities. On a most appropriate date, April the first, we presented an assembly before the student body. The April Fool part was that it was a good assembly. We claim the distinction of being the first Freshman class to participate in unified class yelling after assemblies. As a final word, we promise those worthy Seniors, members of the Class of ’24, that when they depart, the Class of ’27 will uphold the name and honor of the best high school in the state. —61— —Loraine Cauthorn ’27.

Many years it took to win it, Years of hope and years of woe, But had we been discouraged, We’d have dropped out long ago. Dark times there were a-plenty, But we kept our goal in sight; Feebly then the Torch was burning, Just beginning to give light. Now the Torch is burning brightly. And the four-year battle won. We will try to keep it shining, Even brighter than the sun. —64— ITERATUBE Ita Est—By Paul Atkinson_________________________________67 Yesterday’s Roses—By Margaret Berdine_________________68 Jacques Mercredi: Bucheron—By Reita Johnson __________ 69 Billet-Doux_____'________________________________________72 The Minister’s Son—By Jack Rehm ________________________ 73 Our Motto—By Paul Fishel _____________________________ 75 My Fountain Pen__________________________________________76 Fair Field and Fair Chance ___________________77 Editorially Speaking_____________________________________77 Who Is Your Friend?______________________________________78 Poems__________________________________________________ 78 Tied In—By Pauline Kaifer________________________________79 Time’s Advice To a Senior—By Margaret Berdine 80 CONTEST WINNERS Prize Story—Paul Atkinson Prize Poem—Margaret Berdine HONORABLE MENTION Story—Reita Johnson Poem—Pauline Kaifer QUINIAULT ITA EST. By Paul Atkinson Was your curiosity ever aroused, when you saw an old weatherbeaten structure, as to whether it harbored a story well worth knowing? Such was the curiosity that prompted the telling of the following story: On the gleaming shores of Moclips, Washington, a dilapidated and fallen-in structure stands, deserted, a relic of better days. Tourists from far and near had once found shelter beneath its generous roof and could its ancient walls but speak, many interesting tales would no doubt be told. Its sunken walls, fallen roof and once beautiful lobby, now a sand drifted refuge for numerous beach comers, stand as proof that old age claims its own. From the rear porch one could see the heaving Pacific, as blue as the azure skies. Rolling and pounding, the waves were thrown high into the air as they broke against the numerous pinnacles of rock that frequent the shores. Licking the warm sands with far-reaching tongues, they receded, only to renew the attack with greater vigor as if vengeance prompted every action. High piles of driftwood, once proud ships’ hulls, and green beds of sea-weed bore mute testimony of the sea’s unconquerable power and treacherous nature. A1 Cummings stood gazing out over this scene for a long time. This man, once proud owner of the Oceanview Hotel, had also seen better days. He was remembered only as ancient history by a younger and different generation in the immediate vicinity. Gripped by that strange power that nature has over its lovers, he stood indifferent to world around him, thinking of days gone by. There had been a day when he and his wife had stood in the doorway of the hotel, welcoming strangers from far and wide, offering them the hospitality of his famous and cheerful hotel and serving them with agility and cheerfulness. Twenty years ago he and his wife had first come to Moclips that he might regain his health and earn a living from the meager opportunities offered by a resort. Staking all on one venture, he had erected the famous hotel which, because of its modernness, had drawn crowds for miles around. In the winter, their time was spent preparing for the summer’s rush. With the first sunshine came the tourists and campers to enjoy the sports a beach resort has to offer. Swimming, racing and lounging were popular by day, while entertainments and dancing in the hotel provided entertainment for the nights. Some were content to sit before the open fireplace discussing topics of the day, or losing themselves in a land of dreams, motionless, staring, as if carved of stone. Never once had anyone complained of lack of hospitality in this place and they left only to return. As the years passed by he could no longer keep up the quick pace of his earlier days and the hotel began to show the marks of the severe southwesters that ravaged the coast. A few of the faithful —67— Q U I N I A U L T still gathered to discuss old times, but new and larger hotels claimed the fickle public and drew them away as though a huge magnet were working. Finally the most severe storm in years struck unexpectedly, dealing out terrible damage and destruction. The whirling wind, carrying sand and bits of debris, howled around the corners and tossed the restless sea, now a mountain, high walled, of undeniable force, hundreds of feet in the air. Echoes sounded against the rock fortresses. Logs, lumber, and sea-weed were thrown to the very doors of the hotel necessitating instant removal of all furniture and inhabitants. Foam covered waves swept through the old building, leaving piles of rubbish in every unprotected corner. Deserted it stood, battling against an unconquerable foe, fighting for its life as a mother fights for her young. The splendid porch with its admirable pillars was the first to go, swept out to sea to be hurled onto the ever-threatening rocks. It was followed quickly by the rear section with all its walls and beautiful window casings, opening the entire lobby to the foe’s attack. The interior became the scene of unrest, and heaving an almost human sigh, the old hotel resigned to the inevitable. A1 Cummings, grown older over night, constructed a small cottage near the place of his past investment, loathe to leave the place that had claimed so many years of his life. Each day he returned to the position where we first found him and each day he returned with faltering footsteps to the little cottage around the corner. Both he and his hotel had tasted the wine of youth and were passing on to make room for the ever increasing demands of a growing civilization. -----------o----------- YESTERDAY’S ROSES Yesterday’s roses, withered and old, Brown are your petals soft silken and gold, Once were you haughty, and beautiful too, Jeweled with morning’s first silvery dew. Once were you swaying in clear summer air, Now you lie faded and forgotten there, Once you saw sunlight drifting through trees, Once were you happy, in summer’s cool breeze, Once did your perfume the butterflies lure, To your petals of satin, so lovely and pure. Now are your petals brittle and dry. Gone is your perfume, as faded you lie, Never again will you dance in the light, Never again will you dream through the night, Never again will you welcome the dawn, Yesterday’s roses, withered and gone. Margaret Berdine —68— Q U I N I A U L T JACQUES MERCREDI: BUCHERON By Reita Johnson Jacques Mercredi, lean, dark, excitable Frenchman that he was, arrived in the United States with a will to work—nothing more. He had no money, no clothes other than those he wore,—and no knowledge whatever of the English language. Upon his arrival he spent several days in New York with friends. They advised him to go to Maine where he might be able to find the kind of work to which he was accustomed. Jacques, realizing that he could not remain in the city, for the reason that he could not find work there, determined to take the advice of the good people who were his friends; and so, one early morning he set out with Francois, one of his friends, for the railroad station. He boarded his train after much gesticulation and repeated goodbyes to his guide. Walking gingerly down the aisle he seated himself beside a large bald-headed man who regarded him with an air of friendly curiosity which seemed to invite him to speak. “Parlez-vous Francais, Monsieur?” he ventured. The large man opened his eyes, and then his mouth, as though he were about to speak. He thought better of it, however, and lapsed into a doze from which he was aroused only twice during the remainder of the journey. Jacques offered no more, but busied himself with his own plans. He watched the country change as they left the city, but soon lost interest in it, for he dreamed of being once more in the woods, and thought of the gifts he would send to Marie and to his mother in far-off France. After many hours Jacques heard the name of his destination called out, and in a few moments he was afoot in the small lumber town. It was such a funny town—one street, with small shops on either side, a few men lounging about, and not a woman in sight. Little did Jacques dream that within a few hours he would be in an unusual and distasteful position. He walked the full length of the street, crossed to the other side and walked back. He made a second trip, more slowly, studying the little shop-fronts. The third trip he was accosted by a man who had been watching him from his station in front of a small drug store. “Lookin’ for somethin’, Bud?” “Bonjour, monsier, je suis bucheron,” was the response which almost surprised Matt Long, local druggist, into silence. “Eh?—what?” he drawled, looking curiously at Jacques. “Moi,” answered that person, pointing to himself, “je suis bucheron.” “Bu—bush—,” Matt tried to say it, but failed, and Jacques added excitedly: —69— QUINIAULT “Oui,—bucheron.” Matt shook his head in a puzzled sort of way and Jacques, to help him understand, made motions as though he were chopping and saw-ing something, as he repeated, “Bucheron—bucheron—” over and over again. An inspiration came to Matt, “Oh, sure,” he said, “I know now, you're try,n’ to tell me you’re a butcher. Come on,” and taking the stranger by the arm he marched him off down the street. Jacques was very happy,—the man had understood him, for was not butcher the English way of saying bucheron? Matt led his find into the one butcher shop in the town, where he recounted to his friend, Jim Gordon, proprietor of the place, what had passed between himself and the little foreigner. “I knew you wanted a man to help you,” he explained hopefully, “so when he told me he was a butcher I brought him to you.” “Huh,” grunted Jim, “what do you s’pose I’m going to do with a man that can’t understand me? Tell me that.” Jim did not seem as pleased as he might be. “Aw, have a heart,” pleaded Matt, “the poor fellow can’t understand anybody, and if they all refuse him a job because of that, he will have to go hungry.” Jim turned to Jacques, “What shall I call you?” “Bucheron,” answered Jacques promptly, “je suis bucheron.” “All right, Bush—Bush—I’ll call you Bush because I can’t say it all, and so much name is unnecessary anyway.” Then he added, “Come with me,” and disappeared into the store-room. And so it happened that Jacques Mercredi, bucheron, was put to wcrk in Jim Gordon’s butcher shop up in Maine. A week later Matt met Jim on the street. After talking a short time, Matt inquired: “Say, Jim, how’s Bush cornin’ along?” “Well,” Jim hesitated, “you know, Matt, I’ve almost come to the conclusion that he isn’t a butcher at all. We must have been mistaken when we thought so, for he doesn’t know anything about butchering. Why, the blunders that fellow has made would lead one to believe that he never saw the inside of a butcher shop until you brought him into mine. I never saw such a man. And all the time he jabbers in that funny way of his, saying the same thing over and over.” “Bet we didn’t make a mistake, Jim,” said Matt, unwilling to admit that he might be at fault. “I’ll bet Bush lied to us,—you never can tell about those foreign fellows. “No,” replied Jim, for he thought that Jacques must be honest, “he wouldn’t do that. I think we were wrong.” “We weren’t,” replied Matt dogmatically. “We’ll go see Nick—I can’t guess why we didn’t think of him be- —70— Q U I N I A U L T fore. We might have saved all this trouble if we had taken Bush to him to start with.” “You’re right, Nick has studied French. I don’t see why we didn’t think of him either.” The two men crossed to the small book-shop of Joseph Nichols where they laid their case before the chosen arbiter. While they were discussing him Jacques was toiling away at the shop, valiantly trying to accomplish work that he neither liked nor understood. As he worked on doggedly, he kept repeating earnestly, as though trying to convince himself, the phrase that he had been saying to Jim ever since the first day, “Je ne suis pas bucher; je suis bucheron.” The tale told by Jim, having been amended, added to, and confirmed by Matt, aroused the curiosity of Nichols. “That’s what we want you to do,” said Jim, “you know something about French. We don’t, and we want you to straighten this out for us.” They left the book-shop, and turned in the direction of the butcher shop. “By the way,” inquired Nichols, “why do you call this man ‘Bush’? That seems a queer name for a Frenchman.” “It was all we could get him to say,—at least it started that way—and neither of us could say the rest of it,” answered Matt peevishly. They arrived at the shop and Jacques appeared in answer to the strange name his employer had given him. Nichols spoke to him in his own language, whereupon Jacques poured forth such a volume of rapid sentences accompanied by expressive motions, that Jim and Matt stared in silence. As Jacques talked the puzzled expression of Nichols changed first to one of concern, then to amusement, and finally they saw him smile broadly as Jacques finished with the now familiar ejaculation, “Pas bucher; bucheron.” Nichols laughed as he turned to his two friends. He must abuse them a little before enlightening them. The temptation was too great, so he began, “You fellows talked about his stupidity, but for natural, ingrained boneheadedness you sure take the cake. Why, if I had thought that two such simpletons could be respected men in a supposedly intelligent community----!” He ran on for a minute or so, and then grinned as words failed him. Matt and Jim were surprised. Why did Nichols abuse them when he hadn’t even told them what it was all about? They knew that there must have been some mistake, but surely it couldn’t have been so serious. Matt looked at Nichols sheepishly. He knew that he was to blame. “What’d he say?” he inquired. “What’d he say?” echoed Nichols. “What should he say? You —71— QUINIAULT put a man to work at something he never did before in his life, and howl because he isn’t a success at it. What would you say if you made motions to someone as though you were measuring something, and they set you to work in the kitchen to act as chief cook and bottle-washer? Huh? What would you say?” “Why!” Matt looked thoughtful. He couldn’t get what his inquisitor was driving at, but after a moment he added, “Why, I should say they were crazy.” “So he says of you two,” answered Nichols quickly. “Tell us what else he said,” requested Jim, speaking for the first time since he had called Jacques. “What else?” answered Nichols, “only that he never worked in a butcher shop before, and never wants to again—that he came here to get a job in the woods. He’s a logger—‘bucheron’ they call it where he came from.” “And that sentence that he says all the time?” asked Matt. “Translated, it means, ‘I am not a butcher, I am a woodcutter’.” Tapping himself on the chest, Jacques repeated, now confidently, “Moi, Jacques Mercredi, bucheron.” -o- BILLET-DOUX Young William on two weeks’ vacation, With Dorothy had a flirtation. This country lass was fair to view, So what else could poor Billy do? He, as they strolled in moonlight fair, That glinted on her golden hair, When near the time of parting drew, Said, “Would you like a billet-doux?” This little maid of French knew naught, So on its meaning quickly thought, Then raised her lips of scarlet hue, And murmured low, “Yes, Billy, do.” —72— QUINIAULT THE MINISTER’S SON By Jack Rehm He was all boy with the usual mangy but much-loved dog, named “Sick’em.” He played marbles for “keeps” and had several times showed pugilistic tendencies. His mother had the same hard time keeping his ears clean and making him wear his rubbers. But his father. His father was all right. He was a good sport and knew just how little boys felt and remembered with passionate regret his own vanished boyhood. The boy’s greatest treasure was his name. It was the same as his father’s, Arthur S. Paston. He was a minister’s son, otherwise he was perfectly happy and normal. The fact that he was a preacher’s son had caused him many an anxious moment and had prepared the boy for the reception he received on his first day at school. He entered the small school room, over-crowded with bustling children, and swelled with pride when inquiring glances were thrown his way. He firmly fixed himself for the teacher’s first question and the “Arthur S. Paston” he answered was in the voice of a man pronouncing his doom. Distinctly from across the room he heard a derisive whisper, “Aw, he’s a preacher’s kid. Yah! Yah!” Then it was that Arthur S. Paston, only son of his father, turned about and singled out the offensive schoolmate for his own pretense. When the bell rang, he was first to the steps where he waited for the victim. All unsuspecting, the villain came and Arthur barred his progress. “Say,” he said, “you’re the fellow that called me a preacher’s son.” The other eyed him scornfully. “Well ain’t you?” he replied defiantly. The retort staggered Arthur Paston, for it was the bare truth. Then, “You bet I am,” he answered, “and I’ll just show you it ain’t d:srespectful neither,” he finished. Quietly and quickly he slipped off his coat, and folding it, he laid it on a woodpile. Then slowly and methodically he rolled up his sleeves. Meanwhile the other boy had been preparing for fray in the same manner. He eyed Arthur with a conscious air of superiority, for behind him a dozen or more comrades urged him on. “Go to it, Benny,” they yelled excitedly, “you got him before you begin.” But, nothing daunted, and with some thirty hard-won victories calling to him from the past, Arthur S. Paston, only son of A. S. Paston, D. D., launched at his antagonist. He fought as he did everything else, slowly and methodically. If he decided to strike at his opponent’s nose he did just that thing with such care and precision as to settle that member once and for all. At first Benny’s comrades urged him on to speedy victory. Then as their pet and idol seemed to weaken, the little crowd grew quiet, and at last Benny, throwing discretion to the four winds, took to his heels. A dozen pairs of ad- -73- Q U I N I A U L T miring eyes worshipped valor in the form of Arthur S. Paston and one, bolder than the rest, went so far as to say, “Bully for you, Art!” Arthur replaced his coat and, with a badly battered face, turned towards home. He was sick at heart. His father’s position demanded better respect from his son, but what was he to do. His mother turning from her place before the fire beheld her son. “Arthur, you’ve been fighting again. What am I going to tell your father?” she said. Arthur’s distorted, swollen lips broke into a smile. “Well, I guess you won’t have to tell him anything,” he replied, “I guess he’ll know when he sees me.” A glance of pity swept across the mother’s face for she knew how much Arthur loved his father and she knew Arthur was striving to respect his father’s position, but times came when he couldn’t hold back any longer. Arthur wasn’t a bad boy but was just of the natural all-boy character, and every boy has his troubles. Arthur’s father took him to his study that evening and while the mother waited at the door he told Arthur that when he was struck on one cheek he should turn the other. He laid a firm but gentle hand on him and said, “This fighting has got to stop, Arthur. I hoped you would respect my position more.” “That’s just it,” Arthur replied. “I do respect your position and I am trying to make others respect it, too.” These words brought a lump to the Rev. Arthur S. Paston’s throat, but remembering his lesson of discipline he choked it off and replied, “Arthur, my boy, it is far better that these people be made to hold respect through kindness than through force. Remember about the cheek.” Arthur went along in a peaceful state of mind for about a month. His walk to school was delightful to him, not that he gloried in being a champion, but due to the fact that he was among friends. Frequently the young girls with beautiful big pink bows spoke to him and this pleased him greatly. One day while a very exciting game of soccer was in progress, with Benny and Arthur taking part, Benny forgot time and place and forcefully shoved Arthur against a wood-pile. The crowd gasped and was silent. Arthur, his face a boiling mass, all but forgot his promise to his father. Madness seized him, but respect cooled him. The incident went on with but a smile. The admirers of Arthur quickly changed and Benny once more held sway. Arthur was very sorry it had happened, but was not ashamed. His visits with his mother and father had made him acquainted with several nice girls in the village and he had upon many occasions played the title role in the playhouse hero tales. His actions and manners started the mothers to telling others of what a gentleman he was and Arthur did not mind in the least until the fellows began to hear about it. He was immediately given the names such as “Sissy” and “Mamma’s Boy,” but the most unkind of all was the name of “Teacher’s pet.” He had cleaned the erasers for Miss Whip- —74— Q U I N I A U L T pit, for he had been taught to be a help and not a nuisance. Benny, who had regained the crown of champion, stopped him one Saturday morning while he was on his way to the grocery store and reminded him he was a teacher’s pet and a sissy. Jeers greeted him. Arthur stopped. He shoved his fists deep in his pockets to keep them from action. “Hit me,” he ordered calmly, “hit me hard.” Benny hesitated, but the sting of his first defeat had faded into the past. With fine scorn he slapped the face of Arthur S. Paston till the tears came. Arthur did not wince, but turning slowly, he said, “Now hit me again on the other side.” Benny stared. What kind of a game was this anyway? But the fellows yelled at him and urged him on. He advanced cautiously and with the flat of his hand slapped the other cheek of Arthur S. Paston. The effect was instantaneous. Arthur started back. “Now take off your coat,” he yelled excitedly. “I turned the other cheek. Now I am going to show you how a sissy fights.” The crowd went wild. It watched his every move and when Benny whispered “done” in a thin small voice, the admiring crowd passed on with Arthur to the grocery store and Benny crawled home alone and deserted. That night A. S. Paston, D. D., marched his only son into the study and closed the door. Mrs. Paston, waiting anxiously without, heard only one remark. Arthur spoke to his father as man to man. “But, Dad, it ain’t ’fective to only turn the other cheek. You gotta do somethin’.” -----------o----------- OUR MOTTO By Paul Fishel “We shall use our knowledge in that field which will enable us to accomplish the most for society.” Thus reads the motto of the Senior Class of ’24, and it is not a meaningless phrase adopted because of established custom, but because of the setting forth of a guiding principle. We have but one life to live and every industrious individual strives so to direct that life that it will accomplish something worth while—something that will command the honor and respect of his fellows. In order that we may get some idea of the course that we must take in order to attain this end, let us examine closely the lives of a few of those individuals whom we hold in high esteem. There is Dr. Smith, who is regarded by every one as being a man among men. He understands his business and attends to it promptly, not even troubling himself beforehand to look up the financial standing of his patient. Then there is Farmer Jones, whose integrity and —75— Q U I N I A U L T honesty have never been questioned. Every year his barns bulge [ with the bounteous harvest of his fertile fields. We may examine any number of the honored citizens of our community, state or nation and invariably we will find that each has chosen to serve in a certain field. He has prepared himself for his work, thinking not alone of his own advancement, but of the welfare of the world. The world is in need of workers who are efficient and social-minded—individuals who have the welfare of the community at heart. He who can supply this demand is certain to attract the attention and admiration of his fellows. Often we hear the expression, “The world owes me a living,” but it never falls from the lips of the thoughtful man or woman. Why, the world owes us nothing, for all that we found of convenience or comfort upon our arrival was the gift of the world. Did we not receive the protecting care of an affectionate mother? Were we not provided with shelter and clothing to protect us from the cold, and with food to build our bodies? Has not our government spent thousands of dollars providing for us an education? These things and even more have been done for us by the world. Then how shall we : answer its call? How did Dr. Smith and Farmer Jones answer it? Certainly they did not charge the world with indebtedness to them, who at the beginning of their career had done nothing but enjoy its fruit. They recognized that they were a part of a great social order and that they owed this order the best that they had of talent and education. Not only are they efficient in their professions, but the life of each is a reflection of kindness. Simplicity, courtesy, integrity and frugality are the dominating powers of their lives. If we would abide by our motto, we would answer the call of the world. If we would demand the honor and respect of our fellows, we would heed those who are now examples of honor and respect, and would take up our lives of humble service. The more we serve society the greater our compensation will be. -o- MY FOUNTAIN PEN. Oh, pen! interpreter of my thoughts, companion of my school days and friend that never fails me. Even now you are so busy working for me that you cannot stop to listen while I tell you all you are to me. It is true that you are sometimes near to the point of failure in producing for me that which I expect to see. But whc indeed can work when perishing from thirst? —76— Q U I N I A U L T FAIR FIELD AND FAIR CHANCE The doors once more are opened and a flood of youth goes forth into the world—the Class of 1924. Each one of you today will shield your eyes from the dazzling light of a new born day and will look ahead, far ahead, to find in the maze of human endeavor a goal at which to aim. Commencement. And what do you ask? A fair field and a fair chance. It is enough, but not too much. The rest remains with you. The way is hard. For most of you it will be long, but if you learn each step and make it help you to attain the next, you’ll win, and in the end achieve that goal on which you set your mind, your heart, your effort. Service to your country and mankind. The millions who have gone before have given you a heritage and an opportunity that none before have ever had. Then serve and build so well that in time to come you can look back and say as much to those who follow: “We here in America hold in our hands the hope of the world, the fate of the coming years, and shame and disgrace will be ours if in our eyes the light of high resolve is dimmed, if we trail in the dust the golden hope of men.” R. R. Balkema. -----------o--------- EDITORIALLY SPEAKING Just a few seconds’ reflection in regard to our annual will fix in the mind of any sound reasoner the conviction that this book is not a scanty compilation, but an interesting as well as satisfactory epoch in the history of A. H. S. This book takes rank by itself. It is the result of happy adaptations of workmen to work. In fact, such a volume could not have been offered had it not been for the painstaking and effective planning of our diligent and able editor, Sue Baker, and the cooperation of a well-chosen staff. Truly, her faultless literary sense has never, I believe, served better use. Robert Cantwell’s instinct for dramatic story and striking situation places him at the head as a literary editor, and Wellington Grove’s original and attractive representations of the numerous articles add exceedingly to the artistic finish of the book. The business end has been well cared for by George Karshner and his confederate, Robert Covert and Arnold Hegg. In the preparation of this work we have received generous assistance from many quarters, but particularly from J. W. Clark of the Quick Print Company, who, besides producing a super-fine annual, has at all times given most friendly counsel out of a wide, practical experience, and who has afforded active assistance upon the work both during its inception and its final development. Hearty thanks are due Miss Finley, our adviser, who went over and over the entire manuscript most faithfully, checking and rechecking details and otherwise improving it. —Ella Westerback ’24 —77— Q U I N I A U L T WHO IS YOUR FRIEND? Just who is your friend? I shall tell you. T. Dreier says, “A friend is a person with whom you dare to be yourself.” He knows you inwardly and outwardly. In fact your soul can go naked with him. He wants you to put on nothing, only to be just what you are—no better, no worse. When you are with him you feel as a canary who has been freed from his gilded cage. You can say what you wish, as long as what you say is genuine. A friend understands that part of your nature which leads others to misjudge you. With him you do not have to be careful. You may loosen your collar, take off your coat, pour forth your hates, vanities, envies, meanness and frivolity. Your friend absorbs them in a sea of loyalty. He understands. You can abuse him, neglect him, tolerate him, keep still with him. It makes no difference. He likes you. He forgets your absurdities. He weeps with you, laughs with you, sins with you, prays with you. And through it all he understands and loves you. Let us repeat—“A friend is one with whom you dare to be yourself.” ------------o--------- JUST A PATH Winding and turning Just going somewhere The end just over a hill, Maybe! ----------o---------- A GIANT Roaring and pounding Day and night A fight to death With the waves. Melting huge rocks, Before him And eating the Sands of time. -----------o---------- IS IT? Is Happiness only a circle That we follow around and around Until we are dizzy and tumble down? —78— Q U I N I A U L T TIED IN. ’Twas an evening in the springtime, In the sweet and pleasant springtime. On the waters Wishikaka, Sat a maiden in a rowboat, In a green and painted rowboat. Sat a pretty, bobbed-haired maiden, In a green and painted rowboat, Paddling vainly in the water, In the rippling muddy water. In her hand she held a paddle— A large unwieldy paddle. Long she labored in the twilight, In the silent darkening twilight. Peered in vain towards further shore. Towards the green and rushy shore. Vainly pushed the rowboat forward, With her feet she firmly braced it, With her large and lengthy feet. “Of all boats this moves the slowest— Moves the hardest and the slowest.” Quoth impatiently the maiden. Quoth the young impatient maiden. Looking suddenly behind her Toward the rushy, reedy mud-banks, Toward the near and muddy banks, Sees securely tied the rowboat, Sees the green and painted rowboat Tied securely to the shore. —Pauline Kaifer. FICKLE My love belonged to you And yours was mine forever, So you said; But Eve held out the apple; You bit, and now She listens to the tale, that I Once thought was true. •79— Q U I N I A U L T TIME’S ADVICE TO A SENIOR Father Time stopped a Senior in his mad career, And said, “Why act like a child? Why gailop and prance like a lamb in the spring? You look like a Frosh, you’re so wild.” “I’ve heard tor long years th t a Senior’s sedate, And has manners, of which you have none. I’ve heard that they learned something once in a while, It seems all you have is just fun.” “When I went to school, ’twas considered a crime To waste just a minute away, But I don’t know what is the matter with you, To be loafing this one precious day.” “I went to high school for only four years— It seems that you’ve gone nearly six, And I’ll venture to say that all you have learned In those years will amount to just nix.” The Senior just turned a deaf ear to poor Time And laughed in his babyish glee, “As a Senior, I’m having the time of my life, Don’t talk about studies to me!” Father Time shook his snowy-white locks in despair And said, “Oh dear, what shall I do? They actually let children like him go to school, Oh, what is the world coming to?” —Margaret Berdine ’25 o- THE CATASTROPHE.

The officers elected by members of the student body for the past year have been: Malcolm Stockwell, president; Edward Larkin, vice-president; Harriet Milette, secretary; Newbey Green, treasurer; Sue Baker, editor of the Ocean Breeze, Horace McNair, business manager of the Ocean Breeze. A new plan in regard to assemblies was tried for the first time this year. Each class and organization presented an assembly before the students of the high school. Fourteen issues of the Ocean Breeze were printed during the school year. This was the greatest number of issues put out in the course of one year since the Ocean Breeze has been the school paper. Student body tickets sold for two dollars. The sale of tickets was the largest in the history of the school. Another item of general interest was the organization of Good Will troupes in Olympia, Hoquiam, Montesano, Elma and Aberdeen. Each high school troupe presented novel programs at the other four schools. These programs were enjoyed by all the student bodies, which indicated that this method will come to be an annual event. The members of this year’s Board of Control were: William Long, Senior; William O’Connor, Junior; Marian Abel, Sophomore; Margaret, Fribley, Freshman, Harriet Milette, secretary; Malcolm Stock-well, president; Richard R. Balkema, Superintendent George B. Miller and Coach Walter B. Herreid. Edward Larkin was vice-president of the student body. —87— Q U I N I A U L T Quiniault Staff BAKER COVERT REHM MILETTE KARSHNER R. CANTWELL DALTON HOLMLUND WESTERBACK J. CANTWELL LARKIN MARCH GROVES SKINNER MARTIN HEGG —88— QUINIAULT THE QUINIAULT, VOLUME XV. We are proud to be able to write, “The Quiniault, Volume XV.” It means that for fifteen consecutive years there has been a book, published by the graduating class, containing a review of the school activities for the past year and keeping always fresh the memory of the Aberdeen High School. That is what we consider the purpose of this annual—a means of refreshing your memory, now and in years to come. Perhaps many of those students who have graduated in previous years have almost forgotten how thrilling a high school football game could be—they may be looking back on their college days—and perhaps they do not remember that seniors are supposed to be more dignified than freshmen, and more learned. Then to you graduates, who have gone through your four years in Aberdeen High School, as we have gone, we hope that this annual will be a means of bringing back visions and memories of your high school days. To the class of 1924, no longer Seniors, for a class has taken your place, when you turn the pages of this annual, years hence, may you recall to your mind the wonderful times you experienced when it was your privilege to attend the Aberdeen High School. To the newly-endowed Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores, and to a new class entirely, the Class of 1928, we wish we could make you realize that you are in the midst of one of the best times of your lives—a time to which you will turn back time and time again in years to come. One parting word to the Class of 1927. Maybe it was the hand of Fate that had you finally decide on Purple and Gold for your class colors—the class colors of the graduating Class of 1924. Maybe it was the hand of Fate, but we think it was the hand of Providence. You have the colors of the Class of 1924. You have the spirit of the Class of 1924. For their sake, will you not uphold their honor and loyalty and keep alive the Spirit of ’24. —89— Q U I N I A U L T FIRST SEMESTER OCEAN BREEZE STAFF Among the many changes in the curriculum of the high school at the beginning of the 1923-24 school year was the establishment of a journalism class, under the instruction of Miss Madge Finley. With the exception of three students, the entire first semester Ocean Breeze staff consisted of people from this journalism class. Probably it was through the constant efforts of the members of this class, and through the advice and help of the faculty adviser, Miss Madge Finley, that the paper passed through a most successful semester. Much credit is due the business manager, Horace McNair, and his business staff. The first paper that was issued was a four column paper. The necessity of a larger paper was soon realized, so the second issue was made a five column paper, and the length of the page was increased. This size has been maintained throughout the entire year. The staff members and their respective departments for the first semester were: Editor, Sue Baker; associate editor, Kenneth Skinner; faculty director, Miss Madge Finley; sport editor, Jack Rehm; assistant sports, Howard Swift; literary editor, Wellington Groves; organizations, Emily Dalton; news editor, Edward Larkin; assistant news, Bruno Laaksonen; cartoonist, James Cantwell; exchange editor, John MacDonald; features, Robert Cantwell; copy reader, Harriet Milette; staff reporters, Opal Dingman, Edwin Alexander, Elizabeth Madison, William Goehrend, Edward Story; business manager, Horace McNair; advertising manager, George Karshner; advertising assistants, Robert Covert, Arnold Hegg. —90— Q U I N I A U L T SECOND SEMESTER OCEAN BREEZE STAFF An entire change of the members of the journalism class at the beginning of the second semester necessitated the changing of the editorial staff of the Ocean Breeze. Again the greater part of the staff was chosen from the beginning journalism class. After a meeting with Junior High representatives, it was decided that the first two columns of the fourth page should be given over to Junior High news. A staff was chosen from the Junior High School and the news and features for the columns were written by Junior High students. Under the direction of Wellington Groves, editor, the Juniors published a successful Junior issue on January the eleventh. The custom of permitting the Junior class to publish one issue of the Ocean Breeze was established by the Class of 1924 a year ago. The editorial staff for the second semester was: Sport editor, Lowell Slover; assistant sports, Vaunie Shroy, Donald Spoon; news editor, Elof Holmlund; organizations, Marian Charette, Roland De Lorme; editorials, Pearl Palmroth; clubs, Edith Nelson, Mildred Harkness, Martyna Kuchnick; exchange editor, Vera Dunn; columnist, Robert Cantwell; cartoonists, Wellington Groves, James Cantwell; copy reader, Harriet Milette; reporters, Marjorie Kleist, Mildred Heatlie, Angie West, Robert Spiegle. The Junior High School staff consisted of: Frances Albee, editor; Allan Crammatte, business editor; Brownie Meeker, Aili Leaf, sport editors; Miss Esther Jane Rohrer, faculty adviser. —91— Q U I N I A U L T Honor Society Torch Wearers Wearers of the Two-Bar Pin Wearers of the One-Bar Pin —92— Q U I N I A U L T ELLA WESTERBACK ROBERT CANTWELL FANNY HANNULA MARGARET DELANTY President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary THE HONOR SOCIETY The Honor Society, which was organized just three years ago, was reorganized this year with such an increase in membership that it compares favorably with any of the other clubs in this respect. The total membership is fifty-seven. This society was organized for the purpose of creating higher standards of scholarship among students, thereby developing their character among lines of service, leadership and Americanism. The requirements were such that only seniors, juniors, and sophomores were eligible. Out of the fifty-seven members, nineteen were torch wearers, sixteen wore two-bar pins, and twenty-one wore one-bar pins. The torch was a dull gold pin with letters in relief. The emblem was designed by Wellington Groves. The one-bar and two-bar pins were of blue enamel crowned by one and two bars respectively. To be eligible to wear the first, second and third year pins the student must have earned sixteen, thirty-two, and sixty-four points respectively. Points were given in accordance with a schedule of grades and various activities of service. This year’s officers were: Ella Westerback, president; Robert Cantwell, vice-president; Kathryn Delanty, secretary; and Fanny Hannula, treasurer. A committee with Conley Stone as chairman presented a revised constitution, which was partially adopted. The remaining charter members now graduating include Emily Dalton, Fanny Hannula, Arnold Hegg, Donald Johnston, Helen Mu-maw, Norma Oura, Vieno Salo, Edith Sperring, Ella Westerback, Martha March, Sue Baker, and Harriet Milette. Because the term was so near the end the seniors agreed to disregard activity points in connection with permanent possession of torches this year. Miss Madge Finley and Principal Richard R. Balkema, members of the executive committee, showed great interest in the affairs of the society, and certainly the Parent-Teacher Association deserves no little thanks for their help in caring for the financial end of the organization. —93— Q U I N I A U L T FANNY HANNULA WELLINGTON GROVES ELLA WESTERBACK INTERSCHOLASTIC CONTESTS Among the various high school contests in which Aberdeen has participated was a Shakespearian contest held at the University of Washington and a typing contest at Olympia. Aberdeen, making excellent records in both contests, was awarded one of the first places in the Shakespearian contest, and placed second in the typing contest. We were represented at the annual High School Shakespearian Declamatory Contest, held at the University of Washington, Aprii 26, by Fanny Hannula and Wellington Groves. Both contestants gave selections from King Richard III. Fanny interpreted the part of Queen Anne, winning second place among the girls, and Wellington Groves gave the part of Duke of Gloucester, winning first place in the state for Aberdeen. Twenty high schools in the state sent delegates to Seattle for the contest. A Commercial Contest, at Olympia, was held the same day. Several of ur students and people from nineteen other high schools took part. ISdith Sperring and Ella Westerback, two of our contestants, tied with nine others for first honors in stenography. Out of these eleven Ella Westerback won second place with a grade of 99. She also won third place in advanced typewriting with a speed of 65 net words per minute for a period of ten minutues. The Olympia people received the greatest number of points so they received the cup for the contest, but we have the honor of holding second place. —94— ■ Q U I N I A U L T MYRTLE DANIELSON PAUL FISHEL BERTHA SCHAFER INTERCLASS CONTESTS Among the many interesting inter-class events of the year were a Mathematics Contest, a Declamation Contest and a Patriotic Contest. As shown by the exceptional interest taken in the contests it appears that contests have come to our school to stay. Over eighty students competed in the Mathematics Contest, which consisted of algebra problems, which were given out one by one. When a student missed three problems, he was eliminated from the contest. Two hours after the contest had begun only five students, Katherine Delanty, Myrtle Danielson, Lila Simms, Harriet Milette and Sue Baker, were left in the contest. In an elimination test all competitors missed the forty-fourth problem, but as Myrtle Danielson, a sophomore, had missed only one problem before, while the remaining four had two scores against them, she was pronounced winner, and her name, with the words, “Mathematics Cup, 1924 Algebra,” was engraved upon the cup. Original patriotic orations were given by four contestants in the Patriotic Contest. Paul Fishel received a prize of $5, offered by the Daughters of the American Revolution, for his selection, “Universal Peace.” Bertha Schafer, Melchiades Ygay and William Turnbow deserve honorable mention for their readings. Eleven people took part in the Declamatory Contest held before the entire assembly. Bertha Schafer, a Freshman, won first place Her reading was entitled, “His Country and His Flag.” Mildred Harkness, a Junior, won second place, reading excellently “The Mar Without a Country. Leone Marlatt, who gave “Sister Elizabeth,” and Jean Fraser, who gave “Church Reveries of a School Girl,” won third and fourth places, respectively. Josephine Allen, a sophomore, was declared the winner of a geometry contest held May 21. Kenneth Skinner, a senior, placed second. —95— Council of Girls Cabinet Daisy Miller Emily Dalton Wilmet Martin Miss Grace Sharp Ella Wester back Reita Johnson Mona Pulver Ruth Minkler Helen M umaw Grace Ingram Rena Arrington Dena King Martha March Louise Nielsen Q U I N I A U L T COUNCIL OF GIRLS The Council of G.rls has completed its fourth year with unabated success. Its prosperity is largely due to the efficiency of its officers, Ruth Minkler, president; Daisy Miller, secretary, and Dena King, treasurer, and to the unfailing assistance given by Miss Grace Sharp, the girls’ adviser. Another aid was the helpfulness and good will of every girl who was a member of the organization. The vice-president’s office was left vacant in honor of Virginia Phillips, an untiring supporter of the Council of Girls. In her memory a picture was bought by the girls and was placed in the girls’ rest room. The Girls’ Council program for the year consists of a number of assemblies, three matinee parties, a leap year dance and a Mother’s Day banquet. The finance and philanthropic committees have done splendid work. Over fifty-seven dollars was raised for the Red Cross by these two committees. Some of the duties undertaken by the Council of Girls are to make every girl in this school feel at home, to create a better social atmosphere, to care for the school library, lockers and halls, to give aid to those in need, to remember those who are ill, and to even up the activities of the girls. A creed for the organization was written by Marjorie Kleist and was adopted by the girls. It expresses the ideals of each individual member of the organization. —97— HBl YOUNG MEN’S COMMERCIAL CLUB Q U I N I A U L T Commercial Club Officers EDWARD LARKIN JACK REHM GEORGE KARSHNER CLIFFORD LEITCH President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer YOUNG MEN’S COMMERCIAL CLUB One of the most successful organizations in the high school this year was the Young Men’s Commercial Club. Under the leadership of Edward Larkin, president, Jack Rehm, vice-president, George Karshner, secretary, and Clifford Leitch, treasurer, the club helped to promote more pep and a better school. A Boys’ Rooter Club was formed of a limited number of members of the Commercial Club. Much is expected from this organization. One of the duties of the club was to keep the lawn in first class condition. Another duty expected of members of the club was to keep high school property in the best of shape. A lawn committee was composed of Edward McCrimmon, chairman, Karl Bendetson and Joel Wolff. With the aid of Commercial Club members, the fourth annual Hi Jinx proved to be a success financially as well as dramatically. One-third of the money derived from the show was used to create a fund for the faculty. Under the direction of a committee consisting of Edward Larkin, chairman, Jack Rehm and Clifford Leitch, a fence was constructed around the Mt. Vernon elm tree. —99— Latin Club Q U I N I A U L T Latin Club Officers STANLEY COPLAND JOHN FORBES MARY DAMITIO LOUISE HASTERT JOHN BYARD Consul Consul Scriba Aedile Quaestor LATIN CLUB Res Publica Romana, composed of members of the highest Latin classes and of those in the first year class who attain certain qualifications in scholarship, has been growing stronger and better every year. While it is the youngest of the language clubs in this school, it is the largest and most active. The club was reorganized this year on the same plan as was the ancient Roman republic. The officers are: Consuls, Stanley Copland and John Forbes, who preside alternately; scriba, Mary Damitio; quaestor, John Byard; aediles, Louise Hastert, Clara Liter, Herbert Hartley and Joel Wolff; censors, Gretchen Hodges and Alma Stephenson. At the initiation, those entering the club went through the cere mony of assuming the toga, the garb of Roman citizenship. Then the spirits of Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil appeared before them with interesting exhortations for their future Latin career. After the more serious ceremonies, a social time was enjoyed by the “cives.” Five regular meetings were held during the year. Two of the best were the Valentine Day party and the “Baby Picture” evening. The assembly in the charge of the Latin club was both interesting and instructive. It consisted of: A Scene in the Roman Senate; Vestal Virgin Taper Drill; a violin solo by Pauline Kaifer; stories of mythology depicting the Vestal Virgin Tuccia, the Three Fates, Orpheus and Eurydice, and Media, told by Vieno Salo and presented in tableau by members of the club; and ukulele selections by Louise Hastert, Suzaane Isaacson, and Elizabeth Fuller. A picture, “Cicero Addressing the Senate,” was purchased by the Res Publica Romana with funds left from last year. It now hangs in the Latin room. To the unfailing enthusiasm of Miss Lydian Bush has been due much of the success of the Latin Club this year. —101— SPANISH CLUB Q U I N I A U L T Spanish Club Officers EDWARD McCRIMMON KEARNY CLARK VAUNDA BORUM President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club has passed another thoroughly successful year. Miss Edith Rice, Spanish instructor, deserves a great deal of credit for its prosperity. The officers elected were: Edward McCrimmon, president; Kearny Clark, vice-president; Vaunda Borum, secretary-treasurer; and Johnny Lathonen, sergeant-at-arms. James Cantwell was appointed chairman of the program committee. The club has been able to arrange a small orchestra, and to give a Spanish atmosphere to the meetings. The members were requested to wear Spanish costumes and to speak only in Spanish. The “La Paloma” and “La Golondrlna” have been learned by the club. One of the most successful activities was an assembly presented before the high school student body May 16. Plans were made by arrangement, costume, stage and music committees. The program included group singing, dancing, orchestra selections and a short two-act play, which was read in Spanish. One act which called for repeated applause was a quartet with Joe Cornwell, Gladys Wiren, Gertrude Walker and Edward McCrimmon. —103— Q U I N I A U L T THE GIRLS’ ROOTER CLUB The Girls’ Rooter Club was organized in September, 1923, for the purpose of creating an organization for unified yelling at games. At the first meeting Mona Pulver was elected president and Opal Dingman secretary-treasurer. It was decided that the costume of members of the club should consist of blue middies and skirts, with blue and gold caps. A large delegation of rooters, composed mostly of girls, attended the second team game in Olympia in October, and a record crowd of rooters from Aberdeen witnessed the football game in Montesano. Under the supervision of Miss Vernie Foley, a successful dinner for members of the Olympia and Aberdeen football teams was given November the third. THE BOYS’ ROOTER CLUB The Boys’ Rooter Club was organized in October, 1923, for the purpose of increasing enthusiasm at all athletic contests. The club is composed of thirty members who were chosen from the Young Men’s Commercial Club. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: President, Clifford Leitch ; vice-president, Robert Cantwell ; secretary, Stanley Copland. H. W. Hong was chosen as faculty adviser. The club put over one of the biggest rallies ever held here on the night precedmg the Hoquiam football game. An assembly consisting of a trial of John Hoquiam was presented November the twenty-eighth. A series of afternoon dances was given the latter part of the school year for the purpose of raising funds to pay for the club sweaters and caps. In view of its late organization, the Rooter Club succeeded well in carrying out its purpose. Next year, with this year’s experience behind it, an even more successful season is expected. —104— Q U I N I A U L T FRENCH CLUB Not long after the beginning of the school year the members of the French classes met and reorganized the French Club. The following officers were elected: President, Charles Moar; vice-president, Loren Mort; secretary, Vaunie Shroy; treasurer, Louise Has-tert. At the first social meeting the new members were thoroughly and efficiently initiated, as all will testify. Young lives were certainly made miserable for a very long half hour. Through personal contact with live ghosts, long walks through dark corridors, collisions with bulky heaps in unknown regions, and an oath of allegiance to the French Club constitution, the first year students were officially admitted to the club. During the year the advanced class and the beginning class took turns in entertaining each other with short programs and plays. At the Christmas meeting simple gifts were exchanged. The French Club assembly was without doubt the club’s greatest undertaking. The program was given entirely in French, and proved an unusual success. A fitting climax of the year was the French-Spanish Club dance given under the direction of these two clubs in the high school gymnasium at the end of the second semester. —105— Q U I N I A U L T THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Earnest efforts and regular attendance on the part of the High School Orchestra members have helped to make that organization an unquestionable success. Many comments from outside sources verify this statement. Although the orchestra was not organized until the latter part of November, it now has a varied repertoire suitable for all occasions. Under the leadership of J. P. Kaifer, the orchestra has attained an excellent standard. In addition to appearances before the student body, the orchestra has played for various other school activities, including the senior play, the Hi Jinx, Parent-Teacher meetings, Dramatic Club entertainments and Commencement exercises. Outside appearances have been made for the Masonic Lodge, the Oakhurst Sanitorium, the Presbyterian and Congregational churches, and for the Rotary Club on two occasions. The Aberdeen High School Orchestra has the distinction of being the most westerly high school orchestra in the United States. The personnel of the orchestra was as follows: J. P. Kaifer, director; Ellen Rasanen, Evelyn Fechter, Gladys Wiren, Pauline Kaifer, Ben Weatherwax, Edwin Karshner, Mech Kalinowski and Leo Mor-haime, violins; Chester Hoffman, clarinet; Minnie Zorich, cornet; Mitchel Zorich, trombone; Elmer Peterson, drums; Martin Lund, piano. —106— Q U I N I A U L T GIRLS’ CHORUS Under the able direction of Robert Ziegler, the girls’ chorus has progressed unusually well this year. About fifty girls took part in the work. Sight reading and interpretation were the first steps toward achievement. Among the many songs learned were “By The Waters of Minnetonka,” “Gray Days,” “Carmen Waltz,” and “Carry Me Back to 01’ Virginny.” The girls sang before both the assembly and the Parent-Teacher Association, and a splendid musical program, including numbers by the girls’ quartet and solos by Louise Collins, was given in May in connection with “Suppressed Desires.” Regardless of the fact that actual practice began late in the year, a great deal was accomplished. Much credit is due Mr. Ziegler for his cooperation. Such satisfactory results could not have been attained had it not been for his untiring efforts. —107— Q U I N I A U L T Debate Team Standing—Elof Holmlund, Robert Cantwell, William Long. Sitting—Paul Fishel, Evar Carlson, Margaret Swanson, Gretchen Hodges, Harold Hong, Coach. DEBATE Aberdeen defeated Hoquiam in the traditional annual debate between the two schools on January 11 and as a result secured for one year the possession of the cup offered by The Aberdeen World. The question debated was, “Resolved, That the Power of the Supreme Court to Declare Laws Passed by Congress Unconstitutional Be Abolished by Constitutional Amendment.” The Aberdeen debaters consisted of Gretchen Hodges, Paul Fishel, Evar Carlson and Margaret Swanson. On January 31 the Aberdeen team consisting of Robert Cantwell and Elof Holmlund was defeated by the Oakville debaters on the question, “Resolved, That the United States Should Enter the World Court Under the Plan of the Late President Harding.” Because the debaters started work so late and because they had not been in action for several years, it was dilficult to schedule debates, but next year’s plan is to carry on debates in an Inter-County League, thereby making it possible to debate with nearly every city in the county. —108— Q U I N I A U L 7 Senior Dramatic Club Officers JACK REHM EDWARD McCRIMMON WILMET MARTIN EDWIN ALEXANDER President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer SENIOR DRAMATIC CLUB Classes come and classes go but judging from the active year passed by the Senior Dramatic Club we are assured that dramatic art has found its place here forever. Throughout the year this club has taken a prominent part in all school activities, and has come forward with a helping hand in all school affairs. Its distinctive success is due to Ben Hovies—an ever ready and capable director. Early in the year the faculty named nine students as charter members of this organization. A constitution was drawn up, and tryouts for membership were held, which increased the number to thirty. Meetings were held regularly, twice a month, and the programs presented comprised of a play, reading, or pantomimes. Pins were adopted by the club. This years’ officers were: President, Jack Rehm; vice-president, Edward McCrimmon; secretary, Wilmet Martin; treasurer, Edwin Alexander. A number of carefully selected and cleverly acted plays were presented. Among these were, “The Florist Shop,” “Six Cups of Chocolate,” which was presented at the Dramatic Club assembly, “The Fool,” “The Trysting Place,” an act in the Hi Jinx, “Suppressed Desires” and “Sauce for the Goslings,” given for the benefit of tne Honor Society. Members of the club are to be complimented for the credit they nave brought to their school by their many and varied performances. —109— Q U I N I A U L T JUNIOR DRAMATIC CLUB In December a Dramatic Club was formed by members of the Freshmen and Sophomore classes. The club was composed of twenty-five members, who were admitted after they had successfully passed the tryouts, which were judged by several members of the faculty. The club held one meeting each month, at which work was taken up in the dramatic line. Miss Edna Breazeale proved to be an excellent director and was very capably assisted by Miss Ida Ramsay. The officers of the club were: President, Carl Hauge; secretary, Dena King; and treasurer, Robert Miller. At an assembly in March a delightful and entertaining Chinese program was presented before the student body. Everything, even to the costuming, was very well carried out and the newly found actors and actresses deserve a great deal of credit. A short skit from the play, “Daddy Long Legs” was also presented by members of the club. It was very well acted by Loraine Cauthorn as Gladiola, Leone Marlatt as Sadie Kate, Maude Burgess as Mrs. Lippet, Clarence Winberg as Freddie, Marian Abel as Judy, Dorothy Kidder as Miss Pritchard, Carl Hauge as Wykoff, Morton Corner as Jervis, Nora Ruuska as Loretta, and Herbert Hartley as Cadman. o----------- THE HI JINX One of the most successful dramatic events of the year was the annual Hi Jinx, which was presented at the Grand Theater February 29 by the members of the student body, under the direction of Miss Ruth Campbell. The three most popular numbers of the evening were the one-act play, “The Trysting Place,” the Black and White Revue and the scene in Hawaii. The first act, Second Sampsons, was an athletic number directed by Loren Mort. Amusing the crowd throughout the evening were Ed McCrim-mon and Leo Little, two clever comedians, who certainly lived up to their name of pests. The Evolution of Romance, which portrayed romance throughout the ages, was a pretty act, under the direction of Miss Ida Ramsay. The Cantwell brothers cleverly illustrated a number of popular songs and furnished an amusing patter. Stanley Copland, Lawrence May, John Forbes and George Peterson made very pretty chorus girls in the Passing Show of 1924. The Human Billboard, arranged by C. J. Powell, portrayed six of the most prominent advertisements in the country. The scene in Hawaii, a pretty and realistic scene, proved to be very popular with the audience. The one-act farce, “The Trysting Place,” which was directed by Mr. Hovies, was very well presented and was worthy of a great deal of praise. The closing act, the Black and White Revue, was full of life and pep. —no— HI JINX PJ?KJ-I All? • BLACIC AND WHITE REVUE ♦ TUMBLERS' •X PESTS ♦ BILL BOARD HI JINX HULA UULA GOMANC ♦GALOSHES' It TESTING PLACE' QUINIAULT THE SENIOR PLAY “Dulcy,” a three-act farce, was presented by members of the Senior class on April the twenty-fifth at the Grand Theatre. The main action of the comedy centered around Dulcinea Smith, a charming young wife. In her efforts to help her husband with his business affairs, she made things uncomfortable for Mr. Smith and for members of a house party she was entertaining over the wTeek-end. For a while it seemed as though it would be the “first week-end party which ended on Friday night.” Mr. Forbes, who was to give Gordon Smith his big chance in the jewelry business, his wife, Eleanor, and his daughter, Angela, had come out from New York to be entertained by Dulcy and Gordon at their home in Westchester county. With the aid of Dulcy, Angela and Vincent Leach, a scenarist, eloped. Mr. Forbes, hearing of the elopement, went into a rage. He decided to return to New York that evening, but found that the couple had taken “father’s car.” Tom Sterrett, a young advertising engineer, endeavored to aid Mr. Forbes in finding his car. Dulcy again got into deep water when she urged Gordon to make a business deal with Schuyler Van Dyck, a man of hallucinations, who in this instance pretended that he was a wealthy business man. Matters were more complicated when it was discovered that a string of pearls belonging to Angela had disappeared, and that at the same time Henry, the butler, an escaped convict whom Dulcy had befriended, had also disappeared. Before anything more could complicate the business deal, the bridal party returned and every one rejoiced, for the groom turned out to be Willie, Dulcy’s brother. Henry returned with the pearls, stating that he had found them in one of the chairs and had taken them for safe-keeping. Blair Patterson traced Van Dyck to the Gordon home, explained that Van Dyck was not Van Dyck, and then took him away. Mr. Forbes, realizing that he could not do business without Gordon, offered a better proposition, which was accepted. The part of Dulcy, the “charming dumbell,” was played by Wil- ---------¥ Minnie Moore McDowell —113— Q U I N I A U L T met Martin. James Nudelman took the part of Gordon, her husband, and Newbey Green the part of William Parker, her brother. Jack Rehm played the Part of C. Rogers Forbes, Ella Westerback as Mrs. Forbes, Helen McNair as Angela Forbes, Stanley Copland as Schuyler Van Dyck, Edward Larkin as Tom Sterrett, Robert Cantwell as Vincent Leach, Conley Stone as Blair Patterson and Kenneth Skinner as Henry. The play was coached by Minnie Moore McDowell of Hoquiam. Senior Play Cast THE FLORIST SHOP “The Florist Shop,” a clever one-act play, was presented by the Upperclass Dramatic Club on December 18 in the high school auditorium. The play, the first to be presented by the club, was received very enthusiastically by the audience. The play centers around a bunch of orchids which were secretly sent by Maude, the office girl, to Miss Wells, who for fifteen years had been the fiancee of Mr. Jackson. Maude, being a sympathetic soul, wanted to help Miss Wells in some way and to hurry things along, did so at the expense of her boss, Mr. Slovsky, and to the delight of the office boy, Henry. The cast was as follows: Maude Wilmet Martin Henry Jack Freeman Mr. Slovsky Wellington Groves Miss Wells Louise Hastert Mr. Jackson Jack Rehm —114— Q U I N I A U L T “SAUCE FOR THE GOSLINGS “Sauce for the Goslings,” a delightful one-act play, was successfully presented by members of the Dramatic Club, April the ninth, in the high school auditorium. The plot of the play, which was based on the slang and profane language of the younger generation, was worked out very cleverly. The parents, coming to the rescue by adopting some of the slang phrases used by their children, proved to the children the vulgarity of using slang. The cast was as follows: Mr. Taylor.... Mrs. Taylor.... Elizabeth Taylor Bob Taylor Grandmother Taylor James Ward.... The Maid Edward McCrimmon Gretchen Hodges Vaunie Shroy George Peterson Martha March Francis Fisher Margaret Hopkinson ----------o---------- “SUPPRESSED DESIRES” “Suppressed Desires,” a two-act play, was presented in the high school auditorium May thirteenth. The play was given in order to raise funds to pay for Quiniault cuts. A happily married pair, Stephen and Henrietta Brewster, are living together in apparent peace and happiness until Henrietta takes up as her hobby psychoanalysis, in which every little move means something. Secret desires are revealed by dreams. In every move that Stephen makes, Henrietta insists that he has a suppressed desire, much to his disgust. Mabel, Henrietta’s sister, is drawn into the mixup and is found to have a suppressed desire for Stephen. When Stephen comes home with the report that he has a suppressed desire to be freed from marriage, Henrietta is only to glad to give up psychoanalysis and to return to her husband. The part of Henrietta Brewster was played by Louise Hastert, Stephen Brewster by Edward McCrimmon, and Mabel by Harriet Mil-lette. The play was under the direction of Miss Madge Finley. —115— Q U I N I A U L T SOCIETY The social season of the Aberdeen High School was launched by the Junior-Senior Barn Dance given October the sixth in the gymnasium, which was transformed into an old-fashioned barn with hay, harness, bridles, halters and cow bells used as decorations. Not many weeks after this, the sophomores gave the freshmen their social send-off, in form of the Freshman Reception. A program was g.ven in the high school, and later dancing was held at the Knights of Pythias hall, which was attractively decorated in the colors of the two classes. On December the ninth the football team was honored by a dance given by the senior class at the Knights of Pythias hall. The decorations about the hall were suggestive of football. Another dance, similar to the one given by the seniors for the football team, was given by the members of the football squad January the eighteenth in the Moose hall for the purpose of raising money to pay for their football sweaters. Music was furnished by the Strollers’ Orchestra. Two very successful mixers were sponsored by the Parent-Teacher Association. The first for Freshmen and low Sophomores, was held on January the twelfth. A program was given and the remainder of the evening was spent in playing games and in dancing. The second mixer was given for the Juniors and Seniors in the gymnasium, which was decorated with the colors of the two classes. Dancing was enjoyed during the evening and a program was given between dances. The Junior Prom, an event never to be forgotten by those who were present, was given at the Knights of Pythias hall on February the eighth. The hall was cleverly decorated with streamers in the Junior colors and the high school colors. An electric sign of the Junior class numerals was placed at one end of the hall. A special feature of the affair was an immense revolving ball of mirrors which was suspended from the ceiling. Colored lights were played on the mirrors, making a beautiful lighting effect. Music for the dancing was furnished by the Strollers. A very appropriate Leap Year Dance was given February the fifteenth in the gymnasium by the Council of Girls. No boy was allowed to enter without an escort, and each girl was required to pay all expenses for the evening and to see that her partner had all his dances filled. This dance was one of the prettiest of the year. The gymnasium was decorated with red streamers and a great number of small red hearts. A huge red heart was hung at each end of the hall. Music was furnished by the High School Ramblers. —116— Q U I N I A U L T Advanced Cooking Class The greatest event of the year, however, was the Senior Ball given at the Knights of Pythias Hall, May 16. The decorations were Oriental. Japanese lanterns, mah jongg lettering and Chinese maidens added greatly towards carrying out the Chinese effect. Patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Mrs. Richard R. Balkema, Mr. and Mrs. George B. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Powell, Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Stockwell, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Larkin, Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Karshner and Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Rehm. Committees in charge were: Jack Rehm, general chairman; decoration, James Cantwell, chairman, Edward Larkin, Robert Cantwell, George Karshner, Arthur Klufton, Opal Dingman, Fanny Hannula; invitations, Mona Pulver, chairman, Helen Mumaw, Stanley Copland; hall, Grace Ingram, chairman, Elof Holmlund, Elsie Butler; punch, Henry Strommer, chairman, Dorothy Temple, Reita Johnson; music, Francis Fisher, chairman, Leo Little, Katherine Tiefenthaler. A number of pretty luncheons have been given throughout the year by the second year cooking class under the direction of Miss Vernie Foley. The first was given in honor of the first team football men. Martha Thomas acted as hostess. The room was decorated in Christmas colors, and small candy men resembling football dummies were given as favors. At the luncheon given for the second team football men, Helen McNair acted as hostess. Tiny leather footballs, tied with blue and gold ribbons, were used as favors. Elizabeth Madison was hostess for the luncheon given for the new teachers in the high school. Little candy cherry trees were —117— Q U I N I A U L T favors and George Washington hatchets were used in decorating. A St. Patrick luncheon was given for the wearers of the torch in the Honor Society, with Alice Petersen acting as hostess. A green and gold color scheme was used, with bowls of yellow jonquils and numerous green shamrocks. An Irish potato with the flag of Ireland formed the centerpiece on the table. The favors were green baskets. A delightful lunchecn in honor cf the ten students who had done the most for the high school as voted upon by the advanced cooking class, was given by members of this class the latter part of May. The students invited were: Wilmet Martin, Fanny Hannula, Ruth Minkler, Harriet Milette, Sue Baker, Edward Larkin, Horace McNair, Malcolm Stockwell, Jack Rehm and Edward McCrimmon. Miss Grace Sharp and Principal Richard R. Balkema were invited. Other luncheons given during the year were: A St. Valentine’s luncheon honoring the Senior play cast, an Easter luncheon for the girls’ basketball team, and an April. Fool’s luncheon for the boys’ basketball team. A pretty dinner in honor of the members of the Senior play cast and several members of the Quiniault staff was given at the home of Kenneth Skinner on the evening of April 16. All decorations were in purple and gold, the Senior class colors. The table was in the shape of a dumbbell, significant of the leading character of the class play. A huge bowl of daffodils was placed at each end of the table. Purple and gold place cards were used and on each was attached a tiny gold dumbbell and a small purple bag containing a small pearl, significant of the plot of the play. Scene on Quiniault —118— Q U I N I A U L T JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL The Junior High School movement, which has developed to a large extent within the past ten years, has proved to be a success in our city. Our Junior High School is the first building of its type in the state devoted entirely to this idea, although Hoquiam and other cities have for a long time carried on work similar to that of this school. In its first year the Junior High School has accomplished much and achieved a memorable record. Early in the winter when the school was first opened, an election of student body officers was held. Those winning offices were: Dwight Morris, president; Henry Murphy, vice-president; May Hall, secretary; and Robert Irish, treasurer. The Student Body membership drive was an interesting event of the year. Dues were fixed at twenty-five cents and the 9B boys and the 8A class were first to gain one hundred per cent in membership. The Leaders’ Club, an organization similar to the Weatherwax Honor Society, has done commendable work and has created unusual spirit among the students. Honor points were given for various activities such as athletics, student council work, fire, usher, and traffic squads, and for classroom work. Through a seif-government system and with the aid of members of the Leaders’ Club, the students of the Junior High School practically governed themselves. Traffic and ground squads, and other active committees, appointed by Principal E. G. Shimmin, tended to keep perfect control during school hours. The following were members cf the traffic squad: George Kop-sola, Harold Lightfoot, William Wirta, Donald Ellis, Robert Weather-wax, Maynard Watson, Eino Hill, and Willard Croxall. Those on the committee for sanitation were: Kathlyn West, Esther Sargent, Katie Andrijasevich, Nadine Rucker, Dora Hauge, Eva Forsberg, Alice Allen, and Elsie Henderson. Cora Allburty, John Davenport, Gladys SoRelle, Gertrude Pfund, —119— Q U I N I A U L T Stanley Blyth, Walter K:ng, Chester Kalinowski, and Louise Helbig made attractive posters for the building and truly we can say the Junior High School possessed an art gallery of its own, judging from the many clever and original posters displayed in the halls throughout the year. Ushers for the building were: Helen Fredenburg, Grace Hamilton, Thelma Morris, Erma Brower, George Fox, Lester Nibarger, Donald Hall, and Eugene Damitio. Another phase of general interest was the newly installed cafeteria under the direction of G. M. Hall. About two hundred patrons could be served daily, and every noon a hundred or more students entered the orderly lines, waiting to be served. Very inexpensive dishes were offered and the cafeteria was run on a non-profit basis. The Elson Art Exhibit was a great success largely through the efforts of the Junior High School students, who won first place in the ticket sales which netted ninety-nine dollars for the school. The formal dedication of the school took place April twenty-fifth at the school building and grounds. A fitting ceremony of songs and addresses, and the hoisting of the Junior High pennant were the opening numbers of the program. Clubs and classes joined in the planting of trees in the parking strip and visitors were shown through the new building. The school has been unusually successful in all its undertakings and the student council wishes to express its thanks to Principal E. G. Shimmin and the rest of the faculty for their able and kindly work the past semester. May this wonderful spirit of fellowship ever exist among these students and may they keep their goal ever before them. —120— LETTER WINNERS FOOTBALL Capt.

Football season started out with fifty-nine enthusiastic candidates reporting for practice. Of these there were only four letter-men, namely: Captain Howard Swift, fullback; William Goehrend, center; Elwell Chabot, tackle; and Edward Larkin, quarterback. Although the season could not be considered an overwhelming success, Hoquiam was defeated and our team was in the game every minute, always playing their hardest. After the Olympia game, Coach Herreid said, “The team had more fight than any other team I have had in Aberdeen.” Coach Herreid had the difficult task of developing a team consisting mostly of inexperienced men. However, out of the green material some good football players have developed. Those who received their first team football “A” were: Swift, Goehrend, McKeever, Klufton, Larkin, Maxwell, Johnson, Rehm, Chabot, Atkinson, Carlson, Eddy, McCrimmon, Stockwell, Little, Werner, Lathonen and O’Connor. Review of the Season’s Games In a freak game Aberdeen lost her first contest of the season to Montesano, by a score of 13 to 12. Four plays at the first of the game netted 80 yards and a touchdown. The try for goal was unsuccessful. An intercepted pass gave Montesano her first touchdown. The try for goal was missed. Aberdeen’s last touchdown came in the third quarter when Swift fell on the fumbled ball behind Montesano’s goal line. Over-confidence on the part of Aberdeen and a bad punt was the cause of Montesano’s last touchdown. Montesano then kicked the goal that won the game for them. Outweighed and less experienced, but not out-fought, Aberdeen went to defeat at the hands of St. Martin’s College, with a score of 31 to 7. Three earned and two fluke touchdowns was St. Martin’s share, while Aberdeen’s lone and spectacular touchdown resulted from a pass, Williams to Larkin. A successful aerial attack was responsible for Aberdeen’s victory over Elma, by a score of 18 to 0. At the last of the first half Atkinson received a pass from Williams and raced 40 yards for the first touchdown. Swift made the second touchdown by a line buck after the ball had been advanced to the ten-yard line by a series of passes. A pass, Larkin to Williams, netted the third touchdown. No score was made in the last quarter. Aberdeen outplayed and outfought Olympia for three quarters of the game before a crowd of 2,500 people. This was one of the best-played games of the season. A fumble in the third quarter lost the game for Aberdeen and gave Olympia her first touchdown.

Olympia had come to Aberdeen quite confident of an easy win, but they received a real scare from A. H. S. The final score was 14 to 0. Another successful passing game with Chehalis was won by a score of 26 to 0. Fifteen out of twenty-three passes were completed. Perfect passing from Williams to Atkinson accounted for three touchdowns. Larkin received a pass from Williams and made the fourth touchdown. O’Connor and Johnson were consistent gainers of yardage through the line. A long trip to Sumner took the pep out of the team, and as a result they were active only in spurts. Aberdeen made the first touchdown after three minutes of play, on a Williams to Larkin pass. Sumner succeeded in making a drop-kick. Aberdeen slackened up in the second quarter and Sumner made a long pass for a touchdown. Maxwell made Aberdeen’s last touchdown in the third quarter by a pass. Sumner made their winning touchdown in the last minute of the game. The final score was 16 to 14. The season ended with the winning of the most important game of the year. Hoquiam again tasted defeat, by a 9 to 3 score, which was not as bad as some scores of previous years. Hoquiam rushed the ball to Aberdeen’s 30-yard line and kicked a drop-kick over in the first quarter. The one touchdown made by Aberdeen in the first quarter was due to the recovery of a fumble by Klufton and Johnson’s line-bucking, which placed the ball over Ho-quiam’s goal line. In the second quarter Larkin place-kicked for Aberdeen’s final score. The game was a punting duel and Rehm’s punting was a feature of the game. He averaged nearly forty yards. Johnson was the ground gainer in the game. Larkin had the task of returning Ho-quiam’s punts, which he did without once fumbling. Aberdeen received the Sawyer Cup, which was presented to the school making the first touchdown in the Thanksgiving Day game between Aberdeen and Hoquiam. The Second Team The second team had a perfect percentage at the end of the season. Though only four games were played, they showed an undoubted superiority over their rivals. To the second team is due credit for making football as much of a success as it was. The following players received second team letters: Elmer Peterson, George Peterson, Elliott Pulver, Melvin Klufton, Donald Spoon, and Mitchell Zorich. Clifford Leitch received a letter for his service as yell leader. The following is the result of the second team football season: Aberdeen 12 vs. Olympia 0. Aberdeen 20 vs. Hoquiam 3. Aberdeen 19 vs. Hoquiam 14. Aberdeen 13 vs. Shelton first team 0. —127— Q U I N I A U L T COACH HERREID —128— Q U I N I A U L T COACH WALTER B. HERREII) Coach Walter B. Herreid deserves credit for our successes in athletics during the last three years. Such credit can not be over-estimated. In 1921, Coach Herreid came to this high school and built up a strong football team. This served as a foundation for the following year's team, which was still stronger. The team of 1922 had a fair utie to state honors. Though football is Coach Herreid’s favorite sport, baseball, basketball and track received his close attention, and each had its successful season. Through his efforts, and with the help of tl e members of the Commercial Club, a grandstand was built at Stewart’s field last year. This year, with the aid of the Rotary Club, Stewart’s field was leveled and a cinder tracK was constructed. To Coach Herreid is due the credit of establishing track as a major spring sport. He nas made a record that the Aberdeen High School may certainly be proud of. He has filled his position so we’l and has tried so hara to develop successful athletic teams that his achievement will be hard to emulate. Wherever Coach Herreid happens to go, we are sure there will be a fighting football team. The Aberdeen High School appreciates his services and wishes to hear of his continued success as athletic coach. Track Team Top Row—Dunlap, Thygeson, Little, McKeever, West. Bottom Row—Buckman, Greer, Haavisto, Green, Karshner, Hall. —129— Q U I N I A U L T TRACK The first track meet of the season with Hoquiam on the twenty-eighth of April turned out to be a victory for Aberdeen. Herreid’s trackmen took first place in every event except the 220-yard dash. The final score was 44 points to Hoquiam’s 23. Aberdeen again walked away with high honors at the Grays Harbor County Track Meet at Elma, May 4. Aberdeen scored 69 out of a possible 122 points. Montesano came second with 32 points, Hoquiam third with 18, and Elma fourth with 3. Two cups offered by the Aberdeen Daily Worid were won by Aberdeen. The summary of the events was as follows: 50-yard Dash—Lawwill, Montesano, first; West, Aberdeen, second ; Green, Aberdeen, third. Time, 6 flat. Mile Run—Davidson, Montesano, first; Wilmarth, Hoquiam, second; Buckman, Aberdeen, third. Time, 5:25. Shot-put—McKeever, Aberdeen, first; Little, Aberdeen, second; Napier, Hoquiam, third.

The season was one of ups and downs. Aberdeen would at times show a good brand of basketball. No team in the league could be absolutely sure of beating Aberdeen. In some instances Aberdeen was beaten by weaker teams and then overcame the stronger ones. The quality of the team was brought out more towards the end of the season. This was especially true in the Hoquiam and Vancouver games. In the Hoquiam game, Hoquiam was over-confident of an easy w.n and was behind for three quarters, the first time in the whole season. In the fourth quarter, however, Larkin and Pulver, the guarding staff, were taken out on fouls. Vancouver, which finished second in the league, was defeated for the first time in three years on its own floor. Of last year’s letter men, Larkin and Johnson were the only ones on the team this year. The lettermen for this year were: Captain Edward Larkin, Wiliiam O’Connor, Paul Atkinson, Ellis Johnson, Elliott Pulver, and Harry McKeever. —131— QU1NIAULT Captain Larkin played his usual star game at guarding, and was one of the fastest players in the league. Paul Atkinson was high point man of the season. He played his position as forward exceptionally well. Ellis Johnson, as center and forward, played a consistent game. His guarding and shooting contributed greatly to the strength of the team. Bill O’Connor entered late, but when he started, he played a good game at guard. Elliott Pulver was another guard who started late, but he proved his worth and was with the team to the end of the season. Harry McKeever held the position as guard and center, filling the place well. The review of the season’s games is as follows: Aberdeen 30 vs. 0. K. Club 36 Aberdeen 26 vs. DeMolay 14 Aberdeen 28 vs. Elma 11 Aberdeen 13 vs. Shelton 12 Aberdeen 14 vs. Chehalis 16 Aberdeen 13 vs. Olympia 9 Aberdeen 17 vs. Centralia 33 Aberdeen 11 vs. Hoquiam 19 Aberdeen 8 vs. Wrangell 20 Aberdeen 18 vs. Montesano 4 Aberdeen 14 vs. Vancouver 13 Aberdeen 22 vs. Hill Academy 30 Aberdeen 20 vs. South Bend 13 Aberdeen 22 vs. Raymond 27 BASEBALL The Aberdeen high school baseball squad played eight games during the baseball season. Although the season could not be con-siderd a complete success, the members of the team showed the fight and strength characteristic of the Aberdeen teams. Those who won their letters were: Capt. Harry Williams, Edward Larkin, Paul Atkinson, Francis Fisher, Harry LaBree, Ellis Johnson, John Lahtonen, James Hayes, Henry Murphy, Robert Novak and Oscar Carlson. The scores of the games played were: Aberdeen 5 Shelton 6 Aberdeen 9 Montesano 7 Aberdeen 5 Hoquiam 8 Aberdeen 4 Montesano 14 Aberdeen 3 Hoquiam 6 Aberdeen 2 Shelton 3 Aberdeen 13 Elma 2 Aberdeen 2 Elma 10 —132— QUINIAULT GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Girls’ basketball was very successful this year. A total of 196 points against their opponents was made while the highest record ever made before was 134. Out of eleven games played, only two were lost, one to Cosmopolis and the other to Hoquiam by a close score. A return game with Hoquiam was expected to be played but Hoquiam cancelled games for five different dates. Under the coaching of Miss Rice, some good basketball players were developed. Those who received their letter were: Daisy Miller, Mona Pulver, Evelyn Giffin, Gertrude Walker, Beatrice Thompson, and Clara Liter. The results of the season’s games were: Aberdeen 24 vs. Elma 4 Aberdeen 15 vs. Hoquiam 18 Aberdeen 16 vs. Montesano 15 Aberdeen 17 vs. Cosmopolis 12 Aberdeen 24 vs. Shelton 10 Aberdeen 16 vs. Shelton 15 Aberdeen 8 vs. Cosmopolis 24 Aberdeen 13 vs. Elma 11 Aberdeen 31 vs. Ocosta 8 Aberdeen 19 vs. Montesano 16. -133- Girls’ Basketball Team JWS- BOY BAGk'CTBALL TEAM JUWW Hi DAblskl dALL IEA V —134— Q U I N I A U L T JUNIOR HIGH BOYS’ BASKETBALL The stars governing the fate of basketball must have been at the correct conjunction for victory at the advent of the Junior High School. Out of seven games played during the season, five brought laurels to the blue and white, in spite of the handicap of a late start and the fact that the team was composed of boys formerly from three different schools. The players were: Phil Charette, forward; Henry Murphy, forward; Harry Allen, forward; Captain Elden Spencer, center; Alfred Pelkey, guard; Neil Cams, guard; Burton Keegan, guard. The following games were played: Aberdeen Junior High 25 vs. Uniques 30 Aberdeen Junior High 44 vs. Wishkah Valley 8 Aberdeen Junior High 5 vs. Hoquiam Junior High 8 Aberdeen Junior High 36 vs. Montesano Scouts 16 Aberdeen Junior High 18 vs. Hoquiam Junior High 15 Aberdeen Junior High 41 vs. Wishkah Valley 9 Aberdeen Junior High 22 vs. Montesano Scouts 5 ----------o---------- JUNIOR HIGH GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The Junior High School has reason to be proud of its girls’ basketball team. The girls had very little practice because of the late opening of the Junior High School. Basketball enthusiasm was high among the girls. Thirty candidates turned out regularly from the time the basketball season started until long after the close of the season. Such a number and such interest should give the Junior High a good team next year. Throughout the season the team showed true sportsmanship by being gocd losers as well as good winners. The girls who won their letters were: Irene McCullough, forward ; Lucy Festraets, forward; Pauline Shoun, center; Lavina Tres-ter, center; Grace Shultz, guard; Nellie Magee, guard; Loretta Roan, Jane Almstead and Virginia Hubbell, substitutes. Games were played with the Wishkah first team, Montesano grade team, Aberdeen second team, Hoquiam freshmen and Hoquiam grade team. —135— Q U I N I A U L T WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN THIS EMBARASSING SITUATION?
