JJalfeetna His great sense of fairness we admire; not only his interest in us but his thorough understanding of us, we respect. It is to him that we, the Student Body of Weatherwax High School, dedicate this Quinault of 1926. —3— © u t n a u I t . “In the Little Red School House” might properly have been the class song of the high school before 1911. For thirty-four years the high school was situated at Terrace Heights. This was distressing to the upper class-men because through all their twelve years of school they had to remain with the lower classes. However, in spite of that, the Seniors enjoyed themselves immensely. In 1896, when they graduated, the grand occasion was celebrated by a Maypole dance and readings were given by different people. Later, piays were given. In 1903 the Seniors held a class day also and put on the play, “Breach of Promise Suit.” Because the play required more characters than there were graduating Seniors, some Juniors were given minor parts. One day of every year was set aside called “Loud Sock Day.” The 1910 Quinault records that even “Great Jove on Mount Olympus was alarmed by the loudness of the socks. In 1907 the students at the Terrace Heights school unanimously voted for the publication of a school paper. It was christened the Ocean Breeze and was to blow over the school once a month. It consisted of eighteen pages and sold for 15 cents per copy. The first editor was Ralph Callahan and the first business manager was Malcolm Stewart. After having a school paper, the students of the Terrace Heights determined that such a growing school spirit should have an annual. Accordingly in 1910 the first annual was published. It was named “Quinault” which means “stronghold.” Needless to say it was a great success as it always has been. While all these interesting events were going on, the number of students was increasing so rapidly that the poor Terrace Heights soon developed the growing pains. The only way to remedy that of course was to build a new school. But to build a new school one must have a place to build it. So the town was searched for a desirable site. At last the block between Third and Fourth. “H and “I Streets was selected as the most suitable location. Then the question of a name for the new school was discussed. Finally it was decided to name the school after Mr. J. M. Weatherwax. Mr. W eatherwax had been very influential in various business deals concerning the school. To show appreciation for the work the school was named Weatherwax. Our first principal was Mr. George B. Miller who filled the position so well that he was soon made superintendent. The proud class of 1911 consisting of twenty-one students was the first to graduate from the new high school. Since that time the good old A. H. S. has seen many graduating classes, all of which were sorrowful on leaving its friendly rooms. May it continue to give energetic young citizens to the needy world. —Phoebe McNeill.

And now we stand Upon Life’s threshold Facing the beckoning world Promising, confident, Expecting, hoping. Let us go forth With firm resolution To guide our lives By the high ideals Which have been taught us. —23— © u ( n a u I t Senior Class instorp I - 9 - 2 - 0 Seniors, Seniors, ’26 FRESHMEN On September 8, 1922, we entered the Aberdeen High School ; timid, yet brave youngsters, one hundred and seventy-five strong. Of course we did not escape the usual sneers which every freshman experiences and after often getting into wrong class rooms and even disregarding the respect (which we now think is due to Seniors), we got along splendidly. Shortly after the opening of school we held our first class meeting, at which the following officers were elected: President, Paul Smith; Vice President, Earl Rogers; Secretary, Lawrence Schneider; Treasurer, Raymond McGowan. Earl Smith left school and Earl Rogers was then elected to fill the vacancy of President and Marian Abel, Vice President. Later Elliot Pulver was chosen to succeed Earl Rogers and Virginia Brookes to succeed Lawrence Schneider as Secretary. At this meeting we also chose red and white as our class colors. SOPHOMORES This year we gladly accepted our new name, and thought that we were getting closer to our goal and established our superiority to those Freshmen! Our election for that year resulted in the following officers: President, Ray McGowan; ice President, Morton Corner: Secretary, Pauline Kaifer; Treasurer, Louis Moore. We gave the Freshmen a very delightful reception at the K. of P. hall. The principal feature in our history for that year was the Sophomore Assembly which we presented on St. Patrick's Day. Our colors were carried out in red and white banners which each Sophomore proudly bore. During the year a Freshmen-Sophomore Dramatic Club was organized for which Carl llauge was chosen president. JUNIORS We were very glad to be “upper classmen this year. The officers elected for the year were: President, Elliott Pulver; Vice President, Ray McGowan; Secretary, Marian Abel; Treasurer, joe McNeil; Board of Control, Maude Burgess. During this year we were well represented in athletics and took part in various school activities. Elliot Pulver, Elmer Peterson and Neal Tebb —24— Q u i n a u I t were lettermen in football and Elliott Pulver and Fred Browning made letters in basketball. The most important social function of the year was the Junior Prom, which was given in the H. and P. auditorium on January 23. The hall was cleverly decorated and with the aid of tantalizing music, the dance was a huge success. The climax of social events was the Commencement Dance, given for the Seniors in the High School Gym. Decorations of Scotch broom, hemlock and cedar boughs were very effective. SENIORS And now the goal of our life-long desire has been reached—a Senior! This coveted name to us signified leadership and superiority. Those chosen to fill our class offices were: President, John Byard; Vice President, Charles Rose; Secretary, Ariel Lewis; Treasurer, Runo Strommer; Board of Control, Helen Steiner. We enjoyed being farmers for one night at the Junior-Senior Barn Dance. The Senior Dress-Up Day was a very entertaining one. We were all Freshmen again bedecked with ruffles, aprons, half-socks and lollypops. As to athletics, we played a very important part, with eight lettermen in football and three in basketball. The Senior play, entitled “The Goose Hangs High,” was presented at the Grand Theater. The Senior Ball which was given May 21, in the natatorium, was the season’s most brilliant affair. Elaborate decorations and attractive programs showed the work of efficient committees and helped to make it a dance which we will always remember. As graduation drew near the Seniors were busy with final duties of high school life and as a farewell to other classes, gave a Class Day program before school closed. We certainly regret leaving Aberdeen High School, but we realize that four years do not last forever. We will always remember those years as happy ones—never to be forgotten. —Rubena Fulseth ’26. —25— Q u t n a u I t Class; Wiili WE, THE CLASS OF 1926, having made tlie most brilliant record in the history of Weatherwax High and accomplishing things in the face of colossal handicaps, being of sound body and mind, having absolute control of our senses, and not acting under the influence of Mrs. West, Darwin, or intoxicating liquor do hereby make and publish our last will and testament.

D. Place: At the Golden Gate. A knock is heard at the door. A tramp enters. St. Peter is seen studying his record book. As the tramp enters he looks up. Saint Peter: Well, my good man, what can I do for you? Tramp: Hello, St. Peter. Well, here I am at last. I guess I’ve ridden my last rod. Not a had place at all up here. Any of my old classmates here ? Saint Peter: Let me see, you graduated from the Aberdeen High School with the class of 1926, didn't you? Tramp: Yes, it was a good many years ago, hut if I remember rightly it was. I first took up professional football and would have been a second Red Grange had I not got so old before I got that far. Since then I’ve been nothing but a tramp. Saint Peter: Yes, I know you, Warren. There are quite a few of your old classmates here. I’ll look them up. The first I see is Verna Watson. She and Sigrid Kauno spent their lives in an old maids' home in California. Leila Sims joined a circus. She died in a side show known as the only silent woman in captivity. Agnes Hanson and Louise Loomis attempted to create a standard style for all times, but Paris costumes overwhelmed their efforts. When the timber supply in Washington pecame exhausted, Arnold West had to find a new occupation. As an inventor he perfected a new radio without an aerial. Julia Haavisto entered politics. She was the first woman governor of Washington. A terrific political battle was waged between Governor Haavisto and Senator Boner. The latter finally triumphed. Fred Powell was drowned in an attempt to swim the English Channel. He was picked up at Calais. Ole Hendrickson rose to fame over night when his daring book, “The Winning of Rachael Locke,’’ came to light. The book was said to contain the true story of his life. After the Senior Play, Helene Suneson accepted Flo Ziegfeld’s overwhelming offer and became hJs most talked of star. Walter Stout was nominated for President of the United States and would have been elected had it not been that it was proven by Chief Justice Neal Tebb that he had become Charleston mad. Left with an estate worth millions, Betty Taggart spent most of her life in the gay whirl of society, always attended by her right hand maid, Anna Nudelman. Marian Abel lived to be one of Europe’s most talked-of vampires. Two of your classmates, Paul Cloud and Harold Buchanan, succumbed to her wiles. Edna Peterson, once so frivolous and gay, died a noble death as a missionary among the cannibals of Africa. —29— © u i n a u I t Sadie and Mary Heikkien gained great success on Broadway, where Ray McGowan starred them in his production, “Tops}' and Eva.” The musical world acclaimed two great artists, Pauline Kaifer and Agnes Hegg, who gave concerts in Europe and America. A tragic event occurred when the good yacht “Christianson was wrecked in the South Seas. All the men were drowned but the ladies, Bernice Benson, Martvna Kuchnik. Rubena Fulseth, Helen Huff, Neva Nethery and Henrietta Kahle drifted to an island, where they spent their entire lives never again gazing on the countenance of man. Elsie Backa became so fond of theatres that she bought all of the theatres in Aberdeen and Hoquiam. Jean Hite followed a colorful career as a dressmaker. In her exclusive New York shop she had two famous models, Maude Burgess and Grace Ramey. Phoebe McNeill took Miss Bush's place in the A. H. S. faculty. She finally retired on a teacher’s pension. Mary Macaulay, assisted by Gladys Crago, ran a boarding house where many of the high school teachers boarded. Emma Hatfield, as pilot, and Ada Rice, as mechanic, were mortally wounded when their aeroplane carrying U. S. mail, crashed near Montesano. Alice Peterson and Nathalie Huleen were employed by the government as detectives. Their motto, “Get your man,” held true, they both did. The ever jazz mad public were given many treats in the jazz compositions of Pearl White. Ariel Lewis, the American tennis champion, won international honors when she defeated Mine. Ruth Poston, a French citizen. Emma Gustafson and Loudene Hartley, members of the city council, finally succeeded in uniting Aberdeen and Cosmopolis. Harriet Ponsler, a real estate agent, helped boom the thriving metropolis. Helen Nocula and Mary Mikulec operated the largest bakery in Washington. In connection with this Helen Wolkowicz ran a tea room. D. Charles Adams had an exciting career as captain of the Cosmopolis baseball team. Allie and Anna Kalinowski owned a prosperous chicken farm which supplied the city with fresh eggs daily. Howard Bond applied for admittance, but he was a bootlegger and I could not let him in. He was with John Greer whose reputation as a movie actor was quite disreputable. Modesto Cid was President of the Philippine Islands but he was assassinated before he could materially aid them. Cosmopolis grew to be quite a cosmopolitan city with Albert Bramstedt as its mayor. But overwork caused his untimely demise. Little was heard of Delford Frazer for he left the country. He went to Hoquiam. Bob Pettit owned a drug store at Grays Harbor City. Roxic stayed at home and took care of the------house. Malcolm Fosburg and Kirk Eads followed in their fathers’ footsteps, one was a blacksmith and the other a dentist. They worked well together. —30— Q u i n a u I t Earl Thygeson started a newspaper in opposition to The World. He named it the “Grays Harbor Revealer. Ben West, the editor, obtained world fame, as did his art editor and inspiration. Lucille Hillier. Gail Haapa, the society editor, was well versed in all the prevailing scandal. Bill Greer, a rising young poet, submitted many of his powerful political creations to this paper. Aberdeen has good streets now. Elliott Pulver has been street commissioner. I hope his successor. Oral Hannon, has kept up the good work. Gerhardt Ove, former A. H. S. soloist, became one of Hollywood’s movie idols. Tacoma was fortunate in having two social workers like Francis Pietsch and Nina Autio, who were always caring for Tacoma’s needy. Ellen Rasanen spent her last days touring Europe playing her violin at crowded recitals. Her traveling companion was a dainty former A. FI. S. terpsichorean, Elma Puskala, whose toes twinkled for kings and queens. Then came Lillian Keller and Lempi Nisula with their hearts broken by a villain who was false to them. “Who is this villain?” you may ask. But you have not heard all yet. More came with the same heart-rending tale of broken love affairs with this villain. The latest were Winifred Monahan and Doris Hays, with Helen Autio right after them. But the villain finally met his Waterloo. No more will he break the hearts of fair maidens. Tramp: But who is this villain you speak of so vilely. St. Peter: Joe McNeil, and in Virginia he met his Waterloo. He won’t be up here. Morton Corner and Dena King joined opposite political parties so they could argue to their hearts’ content. Kenneth McCaw isn't here, this is no place for insurance men, anyway. Murray McDonald, the debater, debated with his wife all his life,— she won. Arvid Leppaluoto, millionaire tug boat owner, spent much time and money in improving Grays Harbor. Willard Helbig was decorated for bravery while in the air mail service. Lynn Joliffe became so enthusiastic over his green house part in the Senior Play, that he bought one of his own, so as to have fresh vegetables all season. He supplied Barbara Trester, whose little restaurant catered to a great many of her former classmates, then in business. Frances Rog was her head cashier. Here Herb Hartley spent many hours working, washing dishes for the meals he couldn't pay for. Azalea Manwell learned the value of the “$” at a certain store. Through her thrift she became Aberdeen’s first bankeress and had Helen Steiner as her partner. Bob Novak and Clarence Lajoie got tired of reading of futile attempts to explore the North Pole, so they chartered a plane and went to look for it. They never returned. Carl Hauge was disappointed in a love affair, so he spent his entire life in solitude. By her efforts in the Senior Play Irene Glaser gained great prominence in the land of cinema. Goldie Borum, ever thoughtful of the young girls while C. O. G. president, became leader of the Camp Fire Girls in the United States. —31— Q u i n a u I t Helen Clubb, thought of as being rather quiet, surprised her former friends by her eloquence as a reform speaker. Roy Anderson became famous as bass trombonist in the famous Cos-mopolis Symphony. John Burpee grew to eminence as conductor of this orchestra. Grant Gurrard played third fiddle in the same orchestra. They played for Governor William Graham and successfully executed Mamie Ranta’s only composition so well that it has not been played since. Byard and Rose were very sucessful engineers having built the famous Bering Strait bridge. Runo Strommer, governor of the Aleutian Islands, gave much of his wealth and energy restoring hair to skinned foxes. He used Jessie Thomas’ hair restorer. Arnie Williams and Paul Bloomquist, after mastering the Hindu language at Junction City, went to India as Messiahs, but were thrown out as fakers. Stella Fraser abandoned her piano and played the organ at the Dream Theater. Florine Davies being bold and nervy, as you remember, learned to dance in Katherine Prill’s harness shop. Anna Pilas became famous as a sculptress. Her greatest achievement was an action stud)' of Fred Browning who was football coach at the U. of W. He had under his guidance, Phyllis Petrich, who coached the girls’ football team, a new innovation. Alta Palmer was a detective in Wolff’s department store, which now covers an entire city block. Joel Wolff placed the management of his store in the hands of Fred Bushnell, while he travelled through Siberia. Marian Charette had one failing—she must have liked red, for she saw Red and then settled down. Mary Samson became Dr. Samson whose cures were world famed. Mary Damitio founded an International Club of Sewing Bees, in an effort to revive the lost art. Nora Ruuska, editor of Hoquiam’s newspaper, “The Applesauce Journal,” received much discredit for trying to steal some of Ben West’s staff. Burke Christie was catcher for the Bay City ‘Night Hawks” until old age overtook him. Dorothy Hancock accepted the management of the county poor farm, despite the frivolous life she was used to living. Garnet Olson was the inspiration which caused many poets and artists to create masterpieces. Clifford Wheeler and William Marr obtained great timber tracts in Siberia and operated a pulp mill. St. Peter: Well, Warren, that is all of your classmates. Tramp: But how come you've got this job? St. Peter: The real St. Peter got tired of his job and offered me the position and here I am. —32— —Harold McDonald —Virginia Brookes —Herbert Hartley.

We proved during the year that our class was worthy of the superior feeling it possessed on entering. A class meeting was held early in the year at which the following officers were elected: President..................................... Warren Austin Vice President................................ Avis Marvin Secretary...................................Georgia Roberts Treasurer...................................Merle Atkinson Robert Irish was elected to the Board of Control. Later, Ethel Sargent and Neil Cams were appointed to represent our class in the Student Council. In football we were well represented by Glen Allison, Merle Atkinson, William Waara, Aino Laukkonen and Henry Murphy, who won letters on the first and second teams. Our first social event, the Sophomore Hop, launched our activities in that line. In the annual “Hi Jinx we furnished some rare ability. The Sophomore Dramatic Club carried on an extremely successful year. The club put on a short play called “Rummage Donations,” through the patient coaching of the club advisor, Miss Dorothy Slater, to whom the club owes most of its success. Our class was also well represented in the various organizations of the school. We played a very prominent part in basketball. The Sophomore Girls’ team defeated both Junior and Senior Girls, thus winning the school championship. Debate and declamation both found our class alert. There was an unusually large number of Sophomores in the Honor Society this year. One of the offices of the club was held by William Waara. Alan Crammatte and Neil Cams were elected yell leaders of the class. It was through their efforts that the class was able to give their individual yell as each assembly. Here it is! Let’s go — “ONE-NINE-TWO-EIGHT, SOPHOMORES, SOPHOMORES, TWENTY-EIGHT!” Our class wishes to express their appreciation for the help that Miss Margaret Simpson, our class advisor, gave us throughout the year. —40— §?ou babe fjeavb tije beat of tfjc oft-jsfjorc toinb Sub t(je tljresfj of tfjc beep sea rain; g?ou fjabe bearb tfje gong-boto long! bob) long? $uQ out on tbe trail again.

The club elected Robert Miller and William Casey, members of the advanced class, consuls, who preside alternately. Bernardine Wiseman, scriba, and Lawrence Quillen, quaestor, are both members of the Caesar class. The censors are Irene Strand and Jean McMurray. Betty Buck, Mary Gauntlett, Kenneth McCaw and Neil Cams were elected as aediles, who have charge of the programs. The constitution was amended this year so that only high school students would be eligible to membership and limiting first year students to those attaining an honor grade at some time during the year. The Latin Club has held five regular meetings with programs this year, the first being the initiation of members. The remaining meetings have been entertaining as well as educational. At one meeting Miss Bush gave an interesting talk on Pompeii; at another Kenneth McCaw talked on the Esperanto language, which is based on Latin. At the last meeting a play written by Helen Fredenburg was presented. Much of the club’s success is due to Miss Bush, the supervisor. —41— Q u t n a u I t “3Les ens b’ Csprit” Shortly after the beginning of school “Les Gens d’Esprit” met for the purpose of electing officers. Romayne Fuller was elected president; Jerome Andrews, vice president; Martyna Kuchnick, secretary, and Herbert Hartley, treasurer. All students who have taken French, or are taking it now, are members. A month later the new members were initiated into the club. Each new member was called upon to sing, play, dance or to interpret parts of a play. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. Once a month, following the first meeting, the club met. The beginning class and the advanced class took turns entertaining at the meetings. Under the capable advisor, Miss Fowler, the club has had a very successful year. The French club has been growing each year. More and more students are taking French so that the French Club promises to become one of the most active organizations of the school. —42— 6 u I n a u I t S pamstf) Club One of the largest clubs in the high school is the Spanish Club. This club has done much to promote interest in the Spanish language and customs. One of the interesting things the students have done this year was to establish a correspondence with some students in Chile, South America. The results were very interesting as well as educational. All students taking Spanish are eligible to the club. Officers for the year were: President, Neal Tebb; vice president, Fridolf Huleen; secretary and treasurer, Frances Pietsch; sergeant-at-arms, George Christenson; advisor, Miss Johnston. —43— 22 u i n a u I t Council of trl£ The Council of Girls, an organization to which all girls belong automatically upon entering high school and which strives to express the ideals of every girl and to promote democracy and good fellowship, has been unusually successful this year. This success is due largely to the persistency and efficient leadership of their president, Goldie Borum, and to the loyal support of the officers: Marian Abel, vice president; Helen Huff, secretary, and Roxie Quillen, treasurer; to the unfailing assistance and adherence of the girls’ advisor. Miss Grace Sharp; and last but not least to the chairmen of the various committees, who are Ariel Lewis, Big and Little Sister; Julia Ilaavisto, Locker; Lillian Keller, Social; Gail Haapa, Stage; Dena King, Standards and Dress; Ada Rice, Friendly; Stella Fraser, Social Service; Irene Glaser, Room; Mary Heikkien, Program; Phoebe McNeill, Scrap Book; Katherine Prill, Poster; Alice Peterson. Usher; Agnes Hegg, Exchange, and Margaret Phillips, Typist. The program for this year was well filled. It began with the first regular meeting which is on the first Wednesday of every month and on which day every girl is expected a wear a middy. Our first party September 25 was for the new girls entering the high school. Following this they were also honored by a tea October 17. December 21 marked the date for our Christmas party in which the girls exchanged presents among themselves and bought a tricycle and other toys and candies for a little crippled boy whom the Council adopted two years ago. January 26 the Council of Girls assembly, which was the first one presented before the whole student body, was given showing that a large percentage of the school’s talent rests with the girls. The annual Leap Year party was given February 5. A real Irish party was given March 17. On June 2 election of officers and the farewell party took place. There were many other features in the Council of Girls’ program but these are the most, outstanding. —44— (0 u i n a u I t Q u i n a u I t 46 fi u t n a u I t §9oung iflen’s Commercial Club The Young Men’s Commercial Club is composed of nearly every boy in high school. It was formed with the idea that a better spirit of fellowship would be created and that the boys would be able to render some sort of service to the school. The lawn was kept in fine shape this year through the work of the boys. Don Karshner was chairman of the lawn committee. The business part of the Hi Jinx was handled very well by the club. The first Father and Son Banquet in three years was given at the Methodist church. February n. It proved to be a great success. 1 here were approximately one hundred and twenty fathers and sons present. The first luncheons in the history of the club were given. I liese proved to be popular with the boys as good talks were to be heard, and a better spirit of fellowship was created. An assembly was given before the student body by the club. This brought before the student body more clearly the things which the club is doing, besides creating an interest in the club. The keynote of the club's success has been “service. The club has rendered a valuable service to the school, besides organizing the boys into one large group that will work toward the betterment of the school and which will create a better spirit of fellowship. Mr. Carl Johnson was chosen as advisor this year. The officers of the club were: Morton Corner, president; Neal Tebb, vice president; Jack Byard, secretary; Victor Leroy, treasurer. —47— (Q tt i n a ti I t —4 S— (6 u i n a u 1 t Girls’ footer Club 1 lie Rooter Club is one of the peppiest girls' organizations in our high school. Considering the fact that we have been organized only three years, we are very proud of our membership of 155. The club held noon-day sales every Friday. At this time girls donated cakes and candy. With this money and the profits from our annual dance, we present to the school some gift by which we may be remembered. Last year a large hall clock and a girls’ basketball cup was presented to the school. The Rooter Club was largely responsible for the clever assembly presented last Thanksgiving. This year the Rooter and Booster Clubs gave a very novel and clever No-Date Cabaret dance in the new gymnasium. Our club has had a very successful year and we owe our success to our ever-helping and understanding advisor, Miss Vernie Foley. Officers for the year were: President, Charlotte Allen; vice president, Lempi Nisula; secretary, Julia Haavisto; treasurer, Romayne Fuller. —49— (fi n i n a u I t —50— Q u i n a u I t Pops’ pooster Club Veil leader, Carl Hauge; assistant yell leader, Richard Harvey; treasurer, Malcolm Fosburg: secretary, Charles Rose. This organization was formed two years ago for the purpose of promoting organized yelling and management at athletic contests. This year under the supervision of Mr. Ross the club not only carried out these duties in an excellent manner, but also sponsored many other activities, among these was a dance given jointly by the Girls’ Rooter Club and the Boys’ Booster Club. The Thanksgiving assembly, one of the most unique and entertaining of the year, was also given by the two clubs. The Booster Club managed all sales at the games this year. The hot dog sales proved the most profitable. This club is a growing organization and much will be expected of it in future years. Rock, chalk. Oh, my Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Aberdeen High ! Rock, chalk. Oh, my Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Aberdeen High ! —51— Q u i n a u I t Wi)t J onot ocietp The Honor Society, an organization whose membership is based upon scholastic standing and activity in school work, was founded about two years ago. It is the only organization of its kind in this school. It is a national institution, nearly all the leading cities in the United States having chapters. To be a member of the society, a student must have a certain number of points. Points granted are of two kinds, scholarship and activity. To wear the first emblem, a one-bar pin, the student must have earned sixteen scholarship points; thirty-two scholarship points and two activity points entitle one to a two-bar pin; forty-eight scholarship points and four activity points are necessary to wear the torch during the senior year; an additional scholarship point and two more activity points give the holder his torch as a permanent possession. This year the club has been active, with a larger membership than ever before. Twelve torches, twenty-two two-bar pins, and fifty-two one-bar pins have been issued this year. The officers for the year have been; Lawrence Quillen, president; William Waara, vice president; Dorothy Hancock, secretary; Myrtle Danielson, treasurer. Miss Delia Price acted as club advisor. Miss Lydian Bush, Miss Bjorklund and Miss Price, with the officers, compose the executive committee, who have general supervision over the work. —52— (Q u i n a u I t —53 © u t n a u I t Seclamatorp Contest The third year of declamatory contests lias proven the interest taken in this work. Due to the efforts of Miss Minnie Moore McDowell ten participants entered. Further stimulation was given to the contest by the fact that the winner's name is placed on the cup presented to the school by the Ili D. The ten contestants were Romayne Fuller, August Pantages, Leone Mar-latt. Charlotte Allen, Verna Watson, Jean Fraser, Helene Suneson. Howard Rond, Clifford Wheeler and Mary Gauntlett. The contest was held May 13 and was judged by Miss Minnie Moore McDowell, Miss Edna Rreazeale and Mr. Richard R. Balkema. Romayne Fuller, a Junior, was awarded first place for her presentation of the curse scene from Shakespeare's “Richard 111. August Pantages, who gave a scene from “The Taming of the Shrew,” aud Leone Marlatt, who gave “Mrs. Pottle’s Benefit,” were given second and third places. Charlotte Allen was given honorable mention. The prize winning selections were later given in assembly. u i tt a u I t Helene Suneson August Pantages Kenneth McCaw Verna Watson Shakespeare Shakespeare Oratory Shakespeare £s fjafcespearean Contest August Pantages, interpreting Arthur’s pleading scene in Richard II, and Verna Watson, interpreting Constance’s interview with the Cardinal in King John, won the right to represent this school in the Shakespearean Contest at the University of Washington by winning the school preliminaries. Leone Marlatt and Clarence Winberg were named as alternates, while Helene Suneson and Herbert Hartley received honorable mention. On the final day, Leone and Verna had such severe colds that Helene had to enter the contest. She acquitted herself very well by winning second place in the contest at Seattle. August also won second place in the boys’ contest, thus adding to the Weatherwax trophy case, two beautiful, gold-lettered, leather pennants. This reflects very favorably on Miss Minnie Moore McDowell who coached all of Aberdeen’s entrants. Jlational Oratorical (Contest The Associated Press of America sponsored a National Oratorical Contest for 1926. Every person under the age of 19 years was eligible. Weatherwax High School had three entrants: Mary (iauntlett (’27) who chose the sub-ject “Alexander Hamilton and the Constitution ; Walter Crint (’27) who chose the subject “The Constitution ; and Kenneth McCaw (’26) with “The Constitution” as his subject. These contestants delivered their orations before three judges on April 2, 1926, with Minnie Moore McDowell presiding as chairman. Kenneth received first place. The Aberdeen World awarded a cash prize for school winner, and as there were no other participants from the county, he was given place as (irays Harbor County winner, receiving a cash prize and a medal from the Seattle Times. He again delivered his oration at Olympia, April 22, along with four other county representatives. Here he placed third giving Weatherwax High School a place in the district finals for the State of Washington. —55— Q u i n a u I t Walter Crim Jean Fraser Jennie Sobolewski Mr. Ross Debate Although Weathervvax High School did not enter the state contest, the state question. Resolved: That, Congress should have the power to restrain, regulate and prohibit the labor of persons under the age of fifteen years, was used as the topic for the practice debates. Jean Fraser, Jennie Sobolewski and Walter Crim were the Junior contestants upholding the affirmative side of the question. They lost their first debate to a 1 loquiam team : they then defeated the Sophs in the class preliminaries and on December 15 they won the school championship by out-talking the Seniors. As inter-class champions they were chosen to represent the school in interscholastic debates, and on January 14 they defeated the Montesano arguers. Weatherwax High School was very fortunate in having for debate coach, Mr. G. W. Ross. Mr. Ross came to us from Eatonville High School where lie was associated with debate. Under his supervision the students enjoyed their work and planned for a future winning debate team in our high school. —56— © u t n a u I t Dena King Avis Marvin Anna Nudleman Murray McDonald Neil Cams Margarette Levi Mentor anb £s opfjomore£ As far as winning debates is concerned the Sophomore and Senior teams were failures: but the experience gained and the improvement that was apparent in the inter-class debates made it well worth the while of the participants. Margaret Levi, Avis Marvin and Niel Cams, upholding the negative for the Sophomores debated twice. One was a no-decision argument with Hoquiam and the other a contest for the right to meet the Seniors for the school championship. Dena King, Anna Nudleman and Murray McDonald, for the Seniors, lost their first debate to Hoquiam. In the final the fourth year arguers lost a close contest to the Juniors. —57— © u i n a u [ t ©cean taii if EDITOR ..........................................NORA RUUSKA MANAGER .............................................CLARENCE WINBERG t ' n 'J EDITORIAL STAFF- ASSOCIATE EDITOR NEWS EDITOR SPORT EDITOR EXCHANGES..........

We have put forth our best efforts to please you. The annual has been edited with the loyal support of every member of the staff, though much credit is due to Miss Edna Breazeale, our faculty advisor, whose clever originality and understanding, as well as sound business sense, have made this book a success. The colored panels and very much of the art work was especially well done by Gerhard Ove, art editor, while Runo Strommer has managed the business end of the work. As editor, Ben West has published a book lie has a right to be proud of for it is to his former experience and knowledge of annuals that we owe this Quinault. The Quinault was put on a budget of $1,850 and since the Chamber of Commerce allowed us no advertisements we raised our money by dances, sales and entertainments. We greatly appreciate the aid given us by the organizations of the school who have worked to make money to finance this volume. It has been our purpose this year to look to the future that next year's staff may have had the experience that it lacked this year. If this Quinault sums up the happy reminiscences of this past year, in a manner pleasing to you, the staff is satisfied. —61— © u i n a u I t Cljr (Drcijrstra The orchestra under the capable direction of Mr. Ziegler has had a very successful year. The membership exceeds that of last year, having reached 32. Because of the withdrawal of several players from school, the orchestra has been augmented by several Junior High musicians. It has a splendid instrumentation and we may be justly proud of it. The second annual concert, given in April, proved to be one of the musical successes of the year. Among the numbers “Militaire Symphony” by Hayden was played with splendid finish as well as remarkable tone coloring. “Cavatina by Bohm was played with excellent tone quality in the strings. “Fly Minuet by Czilntlka and “Ballet Music” from “Rosa-niunde by Schubert, two dainty little numbers, were rendered remarkably well. The orchestra made a very good showing for th school at the Music Tournament playing “Lustpiel Overture by Keler Bela, and winning second place.

The fifty boys enrolled are willing workers and take pride in tbe care of the fine equipment with which the shop is supplied. They turn out work of very good quality. Their most ambitious undertaking was the construction of a stump puller for Mr. I '. E. Hite of the Aberdeen Cabinet Works. Mr. Rayl, instructor, took the puller to North Cove to test it. He came back well pleased with the quality of workmanship that the boys had done. The stump puller was a success. I he students also take care of the school busses in so far as the size of the shop will permit. 8 u i n a u I t ®fje JJatatorium The George B. Miller Natatorium and Gymnasium, which is the only undertaking of its kind in the public schools of the Northwest, was completed early in April. The contract was let on October 16 and construction was begun immediately. The students of Aberdeen incorporated to borrow the money to finance the building and the proposition was bonded with school board protection. The total cost amounted to $70,000. which the receipts from the tank and gymnasium, together with the income from the opening night are expected to pay off. It has only been with the co-operation of the business men, the students, and the city as a whole that the financing of so large a project has been able to be a success. The Civic Improvement Club donated $1,000, the city council voted free water, the mills of the city gave approximately $3,000 worth of lumber, the Parent-Teacher Associations agreed to furnish the ladies’ rest room, and James Empey and a number of citizens presented a flag and flag pole. The various schools of the city did their share; the Junior High School gave $250 for Jantzen bathing suits; the Franklin $120: the A. ID. Wood $150; the Stevens $34.40; the Weatherwax High School bleachers costing $800. and the manual training classes under Mr. Huntley, made and set up 120 dressing rooms. The new building will be used for high school dances, for basketball, for indoor track, tennis and baseball, and for swimming, swimming classes and exhibitions. —71— u i n a u I t Cfje OTeatfjevtoax $rt es '1 he J.

He is married and is the proud father of two children. He attended the Sedro-Woolley High School, where he played four years of football, baseball and basketball and one year of track. He then attended Montana State College where he played three years of basketball, football and baseball, being captain of the football squad during his last year. He was coach at Edison High for one year; Bowbells, North Dakota, one year, and Pendleton. Oregon, three years. In the last great war, he joined the air service. Jfoljn jtlasrtjm Assistant Coach John Mashin hails from Chicago, where he attended the Technical School. There he played four years of football, three years of track and two years of basketball. Later he attended Montana State College where he played four years of football. He coached at Deer Lodge, Montana, for one year. Two years ago he was a pupil of Rockne's football school at Washington State College. Before coming to Aberdeen High School he attended Dobie’s and Zuppke’s school at the University of Illinois. barren Cabp As water carrier and assistant manager under Lowell Slover, Warren Cady gained the knowledge and experience which enabled him to efficiently manage the 1925 football squad. Always where he was wanted, Cady deserves credit for his work as Athletic Manager. —74— © u i n a u I t Jfootball When the 1925 football season opened Coach Homer Taylor and Assistant Coach Mashin faced the problem of moulding a football team out of green material having but five lettermen, Captain Werner, Elliott l’ulver, Neal Tebb, Don Spoon and Elmer Peterson, around which to build it. Early injuries prevented Peterson from playing the first few games and Spoon was ineligible. The first games showed their inexperience. They were defeated by the strong Alumni team; then by Vancouver, a team which finished nearly last. They started to show improvement and defeated Kelso. The Puyallup game followed. This was also a victory. The strong Olympia team next met defeat. Then followed the games with Montesano and Centralia in which the squad played like a championship team. At Everett things looked black, but the A. H. S. spirit was revived and Everett was almost defeated. But just when it seemed possible that the championship might be ours Hoquiam broke their string of Thanksgiving defeats and gained the honor by one point, making a three cornered tie for the county championship. The second team coached by Coach Mashin had a successful season, winning every game. A third team, coached by Elmer Peterson, defeated an Ocosta eleven. —75— (Q u i n a u I t Hettermen —76— Q u i n a u I t OtC 61 wt Tolovaop t?ob r4 fk Ho }h Air 4 v.V wtvi' — ilettenncn —77— 8 u i n a u I t lettermen WERNER—Captain Duke was one of the few lettermen to appear on the field last fall. He was a faithful and hard worker throughout the season and contributed a great deal towards the success of the team. He was always a big factor in offense and defense. He has one more year at Weath-erwax. PULVER—Elliott was the only logical candidate for quarterback at the beginning of the season. He led the team attack through many victories and before the season ended, he had developed into an exceptionally good quarterback. He graduates this year. BROWNING—Fred’s fight and enthusiasm made him a valuable asset to the team. 1 his was his first year at football. Though handicapped by inexperience, he starred in many games. Fred graduates with the class of 1926. WEST—Arnold was another fast candidate for the team. He lacked experience but had speed and ability to pull down forward passes. He held down a regular position at halfback. MILLEN—Mike played an excellent game at end this year, where he was exceptionally good at diagnosing and breaking up the opponents' plays. He will be back next fall and should prove to be a valuable player. HENDRICKSON—Ole was in the game at all times where he was a fierce tackier and an aggressive offensive guard. His likable disposition made him a favorite on the squad. TEBB—Neil's motto in football was “Take the fight to them. He was classed as an all-Southwest Washington tackle. His place will be a hard one to fill. GREER—Bill filled up the hole in the center of the line like a veteran. He was in practically every minute in every game. No touchdowns were made by opponents through the center of the line which speaks well for Bill. He will be lost through graduation. —78— © u t n a u I t NOVAK—Bob became eligible November i and from then on was a regular on the first team. His ability to pick a hole in the line when carrying the ball made him a consistent ground gainer. He graduates this year. McKEEVER—Harry was another who became eligible November i. He was the largest man on the squad, but due to injuries was out part of the time. He is a football player of experience and was elected to captain next year’s eleven. He is fast and should strengthen next year's team. LAUKKONEN—Aino is only a Sophomore, but he developed into one of the most valuable linemen we had. His specialty was breaking up mass plays. He has two more years at Weatherwax. MURPHY—Henry turned out for football for the first time this fall but through his ability to handle the ball, he soon developed into a valuable end. He has one more year to play. McGOWAN—Ray was another of our guards who stood the brunt of the attack. Anyone knows that the guard position is a responsible one and Ray filled it well. He is a Senior. JOLLIFFE—Lynn played fullback where he was a consistent ground gainer when he carried the ball. Early in the season he received a broken nose which kept him out of a few games. Lynn also graduates this year. SPOON—Don became eligible November i and aided the team a great deal by his ability to take passes out of the air. He was the smallest man on the team. McFIUGH—Bob developed a great deal during the season and although he started on the second team, it wasn't long before he won a regular place on the squad. He had the misfortune of breaking his leg during the Hoquiam game. Bob has one more year to go and should strengthen the backfield of the 1926 team. PETERSON—Elmer, or “Lard, got a late star due to an injury, but he was able to win his letter by getting into games at the last of the season. He was a willing and hard worker. —79— © u i n a u I t (Outline of §anifs A. H. S. ALUMNI 24 By showing that skill which marked their years as A. H. S. athletes, the Alumni defeated the regulars in the first game of the season. The squad was game and fought hard, but lacked experience. A Pulver to Spoon pass netted the one counter. A. H. S. 0 VANCOUVER 13 In their first conference game, lack of experience was again a deciding factor in the defeat of Aberdeen. Pulver, West, Tebb and Joliffe were outstanding figures. A. H. S. KELSO 0 Superior football and more weight decisively defeated the Kelso gridders. Though completely outplayed Kelso showed its gameness to the last second. A 74-yard run for a touchdown by West was the feature of this game. A. H. S. 21 PUYALLUP 0 In a game of mud and fumbles, Aberdeen proved to be the more adept at recovering which was the chief factor in her victory. Tebb outshone all the others in this game by recovering fumbles and repeatedly throwing Puyallup back for losses. A. H. S. 13 OLYMPIA 0 An 85-yard run by Pulver from the kick-off for a touchdown paved the way for this win. A sei-ies of passes and line bucks resulted in another touchdown. Pulver again carried the ball. The Aberdeen line was impregnable. A. H. S. 7 MONTESANO 6 After battling for three scoreless quarters, Davis of the Montesano team ran 55 yards for the first score of the game. From this time on there was plenty of action, for the A. H. S. squad fought tirelessly. With but four minutes to go, Pulver passed 20 yards to Spoon who ran 50 yards and put the ball within scoring distance. A series of passes and plunges put the ball over the line. Pulver kicked the winning point. A. H. S. 13 EVERETT 13 A rally by Aberdeen in the last few minutes of the game baffled the Everett gridders and nearly caused them to lose the game. The whistle blew too soon. A. H. S. 6 CENTRALIA 3 After a hard fought contest, another last quarter rally overcame the three point lead which Centralia had against us. Running 25 yards Pulver scored the lone touchdown but failed to kick for a point. A. H. b. b HOQUIAM 7 For the first time in nine years the A. H. S. team went down to defeat at the hands of the Crimson and Gray. In the first minute of play, Pulver intercepted a Hoquiam pass and ran 40 yards for the only Aberdeen score. Though within scoring distance several times we failed to put the ball across. With but a few minutes to play Hoquiam carried the ball from midfield to Aberdeen’s four-yard line. Line plunges by Sturm over Napier at center apparently put the ball over. At this game Hoquiam also won the yelling cup. —80— Q u t n a u I t iBasefoall IBasketbaU tEracfe Elliott Pulver.......Basketball Captain Julia Haavisto.Girls’ Basketball Captain Lawrence Quillen.......Baseball Captain Arnold West...............Track Captain —Si— Q u i n a u I t Basketball 1920 Coach Homer Taylor opened the basketball season with three lettermen —Pulver, forward; Browning, guard, and Murphy, last year’s center. There was a good early turn-out of prospective players. Some exciting class games were played, the Junior Class winning the 1926 championship. During the Christmas holidays the regulars played five practice games. They lost to the fast Alumni team 33 to 26, then defeated a Washougal quintet 21 to 20, winning in the last few minutes of play. The boys then took a little trip away from home. In their first game they defeated Sedro-Woolley 18 to 11. They were less fortunate in the next two games, losing to Lynden 30 to 15 and to Anacortes 25 to 10. Fred Browning, Aberdeen’s star running guard, was elected all Southwest Washington running guard on the first team of all-stars. —82— Q u i n a u I t — fUroTT Pl'LVCA FOIHAAD (CAPTAIN) IBasfeetball —83— Q u i n a u I t ames In the first conference game of the season Aberdeen defeated Shelton 17 to 10. Superior guarding stopped the Shelton forwards who netted but two field goals. The second conference game was a fast one in which good teamwork and stellar guarding by Browning put Aberdeen on the long end of a 30 to 14 score against Olympia. Again A. H. S. hoopsters came out on top defeating Kelso by the score of 19 to 4. Then we were victorious over Raymond and Vancouver on our own floor. Raymond lost by a 17 to 13 score while Vancouver was on the small end of a 26 to 12 score. Aberdeen’s trip to Centralia and Chehalis proved to be a fatal one for it marked the beginning of a slump. Centralia defeated the Blue and Gold squad 26 to 12 and Chehalis made it a double defeat by winning 29 to 10. In Centralia, Aberdeen had a powerful opponent. Long shots featured the Chehalis game. —84— fi u i n a u I t IhsttM 1926 The baseball season was enthusiastically ushered in by 35 to 40 young aspirants for positions on the team. Coach Taylor again faced the problem that he had had in other sports—inexperienced material. The returning letter-men were Bramstedt, Atkinson, Marr, Murphy and Pantages. In the class games the Juniors defeated the Seniors; the Sophs defeated the Freshmen and then the Juniors for the interclass championship. In the games played the high school lost to the alumni, 4 to 2; to Monte-sano, 9 to 2; to Chehalis, 13 to 1 ; to Olympia 10 to 4; to Centralia 3 to 2, and to Shelton, 2 to 1. Those who received the coveted “A” were: H.

V s' S - -e Q u i n a u I t Crack 1926 A fine group of athletes responded to Coach John Mashin’s call for track men. Sprinters, distance men and weight man all performed for the coach’s critical eye, and a good team was formed around the lettermen. West, Lund-gren, Hendrickson, McDonald and McKeever. Aberdeen lost a dual meet at Olympia, 73 to 58, but defeated our neighborly rivals, Hoquiam, 82 to 48. West starred at both meets. At the county meet at Elma, A. It. S. was victor with West again the high point man. Pulver and Greer also starred in this meet. On May 8th Coach Mashin took a group of boys to Olympia to compete in the Southwest Washington meet, where we won second place. The track lettermen for 1926 are: West, Pulver, Greer. Murphy, Lundgren, Hendrickson, Lillegard. The following though they made good showing failed to make their letters: Werner, Laakonen, Savage, McDonald. —86— © u i n a u I t AZALEA MArtWELL melph posjacr i AILE PLORCNCE CHAW LOUISE LOOMIS GOLDIE BOKun nAflACtg JULIA HAAVI5T0 ' CAPTAIN M . . 1 pas etfjall —87— Q u i n a u I t Girls’ basketball The Aberdeen High School girls' team again won the Southwest Washington championship.

What a grand and glorious feeling! The occasion was the Junior-Senior Barn Dance which surely was a peppy affair. (So characteristic of upperclassmen !) The gym served as a perfect barn with its bales of bay and harnesses making it seem very realistic. All the boys were dressed in old clothes and the girls in pretty ginghams because if anyone dared to appear really “dolled up,” he (or she) was forced to pay a fine. I mustn't forget to mention the refreshments which were doughnuts and cider served by attractive farmer maidens. Oh, yes, Sue, you should have seen Herb Hartley as the perfect “country hick. Don't forget to write me about your good times. Lotsa love, LOU. Dear Sue: Really. 1 feel almost guilty writing to you of this good time 1 had. as 1 attended the Soph Hop, as what you would probably call an uninvited guest (it being given especially for Sophomores). Nevertheless, one consolation was that Karl (my latest victim) and I didn't feel conspicuous as there were many of our classmates there to keep us company. The Hop was given in the gym and the music was furnished by a very peppy orchestra. To add variety to the program saxophone and piano solos were played by Robert Irish and Avis Marvin. Every one seemed to have a very good time even the Soph president, thanks to some loyal guards. Time was called at eleven thirty—I guess to impress upon us that we were attending the underclassmen’s dance. I just couldn't keep from writing and telling you of this, although I probably shouldn’t have. Devotedly yours, LOU. —89— Q u t n n u I t Dearest Sue: Thought I’d never get over the embarrassment of asking Walter Stout (the Student Body president, if you please!) to the Girls' Council dance. You know how bashful T am! I know it's hardly believable, but the gym really looked very attractive, decorated with red and white in Valentine motif. The programs were darling. Red hearts, you know. Believe me, we girls picked the boys we wanted to dance with. Nevertheless the boys all insisted that they had a very enjoyable time. (If the)' hadn't said it, there would have been war ! !) As favors, candy hearts with sentiments on them were passed around. Very thrilling to read the sweet verses to your partner. I guess we girls did our best to show the boys a good time, anyway. Lovingly yours, LOU. —90— (0 u t n a u I t April 23rd. Dearest Sue: I have never been to such a wonderful dance and had such a marvelous time in all my life. The Junior Prom was given last night in our new gymnasium and being the first dance held there, made it seem so novel and different. We Juniors were quite clever (I think) with our decorative scheme, which represented a scene at Palm Beach. The effect was beautifully carried out by means of palms, attractive beach chairs and striped awnings. But my dear, I have saved the biggest thrill till last. Now prepare yourself. I had the honor of going with our class president, Dave Stout. I just know all the girls (Seniors included) were green with envy. Maybe you think I wasn’t thrilled. I can hardly wait for the Senior Ball, now. Lovingly, LOU. fi u i n a u I t May 22, 192A “Burning the Mid-Nite Oil.” Dearest Sue: Dead tired! Just got home from the Senior Ball and my feet are killing me, but I simply couldn't wait until tomorrow to tell you about the glorious time 1 had. I thought after the Prom that I could never have such a marvelous time again, but I found out tonight how mistaken I had been. The Seniors had the II and P beautifully decorated and you could just feel the dignity of the occasion. The programs were most attractive and I will be sure and save mine to show to you when 1 come home. Once again I was lucky—Xeal Tebb, you remember, one of our mighty football heroes, asked me for the date. And. oh, Sue, he sent me the most beautiful corsage, just matched my new dress. You wanted me to keep you informed on all my good times. Am I not doing my duty?

Poofe Ctgfjt © u i n a u I t )t eal In olden days a seal was an engraved stamp which bore a device or an inscription pertaining to the owner. One of the commonest forms of the seal was in the signet ring. Every important family had a seal which was passed from father to son. This seal represented the characteristics and ideals of the family and was greatly cherished. Presently clubs and societies adopted seals which were usually worn in the form of rings or pins. At last high schools and colleges gradually began to use them to signify their aims and ambitions. Until this year the Weatherwax High School had no established seal. Each Junior class selected the design for its ring and pin. Usually the design had no particular meaning but simply designated the year in which the class would graduate. This year, however, the school as a whole has adopted a seal which means something to each person who enters the Weatherwax High School. The seal has seven sides each of which stands for some ideal we hope to attain. Our ideals are to be: Ambitious in our work. Brave when we meet adversity, Energetic in all we undertake, Responsible when given something to carry out. Devoted to our Alma Mater and all she represents, Earnest throughout our life, this should be doubly emphasized, and lastly to be Noble. Enclosed by these seven sides is a blue broken circle on which the word Weatherwax is inlaid with gold. One end of this broken circle stretches to the students who have graduated from the Weatherwax High School. The other end extends to those who have not yet come. If the circle were complete it would mean that everything had been achieved by us, that we were perfect and there was no room for improvement. However, the broken circle means that we are still struggling for perfection, that we are not satisfied with the things we have accomplished but are aiming at higher goals. Inside this broken circle is a golden fir tree which represents the chief industry of this city—that of lumbering. Blazoned in gold across the fir tree are the letters A. H. S. Thus in one small seal is represented: Our ideals, the chief industry of our city, our school colors, the name of our school and the name of our city. Any family of old would have been proud if it could have had such a seal. —93— © u i n a u I t ISJttf) Apologies tEo Cicero How far will you try our patience, O Flapper?
