One of the main accomplishments was the introduction of the budget system which apportioned the funds received from the sale of student body tickets among the activities as follows: 40 per cent, athletics; 10 per cent, Quinault; 10 per cent, The Ocean Breeze; 10 per cent, music department; 5 per cent, good will troupe; 25 per cent, miscellaneous. The amount allotted to athletics was turned over to the George B. Miller natatorium and gymnasium fund to pay for the bleachers purchased last year. The money gi’anted to The Ocean Breeze was returned to the student body account. An amendment stating that the student council should be composed of two seniors, two juniors, two sophomores, the presidents and the faculty advisers of the Young Men’s Commercial club and the Council of Girls was voted upon and carried by the students. The representatives are to be elected equally from each of the clubs. The purpose of this amendment was to make the student council function through the boys’ and girls’ clubs. Because of the large turnouts in all sports, it was necessary to raise extra money for athletic equipment. During the Christmas vacation, a joint carnival with Hoquiam was held in the George B. Miller gymnasium. From this, Aberdeen realized about $50. The Booster club sponsored a tag sale and an Irish dance to raise $50 for spring sports. With the purpose of wiping out the deficit caused by football, an April Fool’s Carnival was held The Commercial club and the Girls’ Rooter club sponsored this. 10 QUIN AULT The choosing of the name “Bobcats” for the athletic teams of the school was another important measure accomplished. All business matters of the student body are handled by an executive body, the board of control. This organization is composed of the following members: Student body officers: Laurence Quillen, president; Charlotte Allen, vice-president; Gertrude Temple, secretary; Don Karshner, treasurer; principal of the school, R. R. Balkema; superintendent of the schools, George B. Miller; athletic coach, Homer C. Taylor; and class rep-sentatives: Margaret Delanty, senior; Ed Hawkins, junior; Henry Mumaw, sophomore. ‘Ljhe CsVterit System The one outstanding innovation this year, has been the establishment of the merit system. The system was instituted in order to raise the morale of the school and to have permanent character records of the students for college recommendation. Every student is given 100 merits at the beginning of each semester. From five to twenty points are deducted for disorderly conduct and unexcused absences and tardinesses. Students having more than 30 demerits ai'e automatically dropped from school and an average of 80 is necessary for college recommendation. Records have been kept by the boys’ adviser, G. M. Hall, and the girls’ adviser, Miss Grace Sharp. This system for the short time it has been in use, has caused a decided decrease in tardinesses and unnecessary absences. cfjhe Send Off T3he whole school was behind the team. QUIN AULT 11 For learning is hut steps and flairs CAnd we go up or down. 12 QUIN AULT F5he Seniors Fare Well cBy a Sapient Senior As seniors twenty seven we started with a bang, With Miss Fowler and our officers to boss and run the gang. Hay! hay, we had a Barn Dance, hicks and horns and fun, Straw hats and country cousins, the Juniors all and one. Queen Marie and Aimee and Hollywood’s whole screen Put on a show at Christmas time, the like was never seen. Carols, music, Mummers’ Plays we added to our list, Old Santa brought his pack of toys and not a child was missed. In basketball our boys were first, they led the line, what’s more,— Our girls topped off all others in rolling up the score. With snowballs, snow, and ice our Senior Ball was slick, And the Mid-Winter Formal was over all too quick. French Ma’mselles and Admirals, cats and spinsters too, With Miss McDowell well-chosen to tell them what to do; Ruffled skirts and lacey cuffs, our play—Pomander Walk— The five little cottages for weeks were all the talk. Senior Sneak Day came at last, we all skipped school together; We packed our lunch, piled in our cars, took advantage of May weather. Saint Peter came on Class Night and made us all confess, Some told the family secrets, and others more or less. Baccalaureate came around with each in his own pew, We listened to the preacher and left when he was through. After all the pros and cons on silks and calicoes, The girls agreed to graduate in the latest white sport clothes. The boys marched forth in dark blue suits, and on Commencement Night, For the last time undisputed, we stood in the limelight. When it came to valedictorian, salutatorian, too, The girls got in the last word, but then they always do. We passed as Frosh and Sophomores, we were upperclassmen, too, And just so you’d remember us, we’ve left behind a few.

To the Class of 1927 By Jean McMurray As now we leave our high school life behind And look back over mem’ries sad and pleasant, We feel our efforts all were for the best And that our name will not be soon forgotten. “Originality” was e’er our slogan In everything we did; and great success Rewarded each endeaver manifold. With such a reputation we go forth To battle in a world that’s not all joy. And may we each and everyone have all Success that’s due to those who work and strive For better things in life. 28 QUIN AULT T5he Juniors QUIN AULT 29 cUhe Juniors Mildred Abrams Orville Ainsworth Alberta Allen Esther Anderson Howard Anderson Katie Andrijasevich Kermit Ashlock Willabel Atkins Merle Atkinson Ruth Atkinson Warren Austin Morris Bowes Catherine Bowman Marian Brittain Erma Brower Nettie Bower Mary Brown Shirley Brown David Bunker Gladys Burgess Charles Bushnell Madeline Butz Catherine Byard Mildred Carl Neil Cams Frank Cervisi Gweneth Chamber-lain Geraldine Champ Phil Charette Alan Crammatte Leonard Curtis Wilbur Cyrus Eldred Cyrus Harry Damitio Dorothy Daneker Doris De Rosia Suzy De Vore Leonard Dombroski David Droskie Dorothy Dutton Edith Eberline Charles Ecklund Russel Eddy Lola Eggleston Marjorie Erickson Edward Evanson Lloyd Fisher Henry Fogde Roy Fogde Edith Forrest Jack Fowler Helen Fredenburg Beatrice Fulkerson Wilma Fulton Irwin Galbraith Keith Gerhardt Walter Gibson Florence Glaser Lillian Greer Chester Grinrod Nello Guintoli Pauline Gudger Myrtle Gustafson Maurice Haapanen Sally Haapanen Donald Hall May G.

They formed into a band headed by a lofty mariner named Laukkanen, who sometimes substituted his place to able-bodied Karl Karshner. The log-book was kept by a dark-haired lass, Ethel Sargent, while villainous Archie Murray hoarded the pieces of eight. Because of his mild, yet assertive nature, the Hon. Edward Hawkins was sent to converse with the captain once in a while, in behalf of the Juniors. Neil Cams, possessing unsurpassable vocal powers, lead the members in yelling to make known their existence. From the beginning they set themselves to the task of entertaining the rest of the crew. At one time they spirited a number of famous historical characters from ghost land for the purpose of introducing them to the mariners. The stately minuet was danced in true old-fashioned style, and even a modern jazz band jazzed its jazz—this was the Junior Assembly. Stately lassies in hoopskirts, decorations in the quaint style of bygone days, ethereal music (or perhaps it was jazz)—this was the Junior Prom for which everyone donned gala dress and at which everyone enjoyed a “keen” time. Once, while the ship was stranded in a perilous calm, the Juniors blew a spicy Ocean Breeze which sent it back to its proper course. Some of the brawniest of the lot, Millen, Waara, Cams, Nocula, Laukkanen, Atkinson, Murphy, Klufton, Ruuska, Hollinger, Saar, and Ashlock, helped to battle with other ships to uphold the honor of Weatherwax. Some lassies, Leaf, Hamilton, Ross, Eggleston, and White also helped in this brave cause and won. Lassila and Daneker, because of their ability to figure and spin yarns respectively, won contests. Many of the sailors gained fame by their ability to make themselves heard, Wayne Johnson outtalking all others. As their guiding star the Juniors used the Dorothy Slater, one which never failed them and which soon lead them to become respected by their mates. QUIN AULT 31 Sims Fleming Jaskar Beaman Sophomore (Pow-Wow By (Phydelma Watson One day, early in the Moon of the Harvest, shy maidens and aspiring braves, belonging to the new band of Sophomorites, were seen timidly taking their places in the Great Council Hall of the tribe of Weatherwax-ites. There they learned from the great Chief Balkema in which wigwams they were to dwell and what they were to do in order to keep peace with the wise old men and squaws. These Sophomorites, numbering 305, had lately come from a village nearby which was run a good deal like their new home (there they had been the leaders of the village and known as the Freshmanites, and Chief Shimmin had often sought their council and aid), consequently they lost their shyness in a few days and plunged into the village life with their accumtomed spirit and vivacity. Not long after, they held a council with the wise woman who was chosen to take council with them, Wattahaha; at this gathering they chose as their leader a young brave called Dick-Sims, and another known as Bill-Jaskar to write down all that the former said. Also, another young brave, Henry-Mumaw, was wanted by all to sit in council with other members of the Weatherwax tribe and Flaming-hair to collect venison, maize, furs, etc., for the common store. The Sophomorites succeeded in following a very popular fad—giving the maidens places of leadership, for one by the name of Peggy-Fleming was given a position where she would have to take the leaders place if by chance he should be scalped, and Sue. another maid, was elected to lead their war-cries. Not many moons after their arrival, they held a large Hopping powwow which everyone enjoyed, but the members of this band probably out-hopped all the others. Many Sophomorites joined the dramatic club, foreign-tongue clubs, whooping clubs, and very many were admitted to the wise-man-society. A large number also participated in the athletic battles (all escaped with whole scalps as far as it is known), while one member won fame at the big pow-wow of music. This most excellent group was represented in all trials and contests throughout the year, were they for strength of body, wit, or mind, and the Great Council Hall still rings with the echoes of their war cry: Boom Rah Rah, ’29! Boom Rah Rah, ’29! Yay, Sophomores!

Let’s go! The little marionettes dressed in white middies and blue skirts are telling their stories with their usual happy gaiety. They are portraying an ideal girls’ council. Dignified and quiet business meetings indicate the serious aspect of the council. Now a party is in progress. The new girls are being introduced to the members. The scene shifts to Christmas decorations and the marionettes surge about a grab bag, dancing gayly to a jolly tune. The scenery shifts again to a Valentine party. As this background disappears the girls trip in bringing boy marionettes for a Leap Year dance. The couples spin and glide lightly over the floor, then the little stage darkens. The next scene shows a Mother and Daughter Banquet. The school girl dolls entertain the mother dolls with pretty solicitude. An Irish fair is in progress—bright green blazers on the stage. The marionettes give Irish jigs, reels, and songs, and play Irish tricks on each other. The gathered audience calls for the stars and the sponsor. A doll with black bobbed hair and with extremely neat dress, with low heels and no rouge, bows and accepts the applause for being the girls’ adviser. The room committee is called for. They won approval by re-decorating the girls’ rest room, keeping flowers on the stage of the school auditorium, and in making the school look more attractive. The friendly committee has only to show itself to be met with shouts of pleasure and happiness. 38 QUIN AULT McHugh Barker Christensen Laukkanen Crim Morris Easterly Hall Y. M. c. c. By Warren CAustin In a dark mysterious room the old Dame Weatherwax High School was looking at her record book; she had just finished the page numbered 1927. As she looked up I humbly said, “Could you tell me something about the Young Men’s Commercial Club?” She began her answer solemnly, and with an air of pride. “The first thing that I have recorded for this club is the election of officers in 1926. At this time Robert McHugh was elected president; Edward Barker, vice-president; Aino Laukkanen, treasurer; and George Christensen, secretary. The scene then shifts to the exterior of the building ; I can discern the figure of Edward Barker, the chairman of the lawn committee, and further on several others. They are hurrying to and fro picking up bits of paper and rubbish. For their work I have given the club credit. “I now see a football field and on the side-lines are several young men. They are the team, and they are wearing the capes which the Y. M. C. C. bought for them. Again I have a red mark down to the club’s credit.” “Can you tell me of any of their other achievements ?” I ventured. “Well,” she continued, “one of the most important events was the banquet given at the Baptist Church. At this event, the Chesterfield Orchestra played, and Sigurd Holland and Victor Droege gave a piano duet. William Jaskar, the young football hero, fiddled several tunes for the boys. Between selections and toasts given by the members and adviser, the boys were able to finish their meal.” She stopped and smiled at me questioningly. QUIN AULT 39 I was anxious to learn more, so I replied, “I’ve heard that the club gave two carnivals during the year—can you tell me anything of them?” “Oh, yes,” she returned enthusiastically, “the first, the Athletic Carnival, was given at the George B. Miller gymnasium on December 18. I can see a boxing bout, now a wrestling match; again the scene changes, and I can see a basketball game. The contestants seem to be Aberdeen and Hoquiam students. Ah, I remember now! it is a joint athletic meet between the two schools given to raise money for the treasuries. Later I see that the meet was called a tie. It was very successful. “The other carnival was also given at the gym. It was held two nights, April 1 and 2. A jitney dance, a smoker, side-shows, and games of chance were the features at this show. Really, I think that Ed Hawkins, Dave Stout and Mike Millen deserve much credit for the success of the show.” “Did the club have an adviser?” “Yes, indeed, and a very good one—G. M. Hall by name. The boys found in him a great help when they were puzzled by their problems. “This year the club instituted an executive committee to handle all affairs that were brought before the club. Those on this committee were: Dwight Morris, Walter Crim, and Lyle Easterly together with the regular officers and adviser of the club.” “Well,” I said as I arose, preparing to leave, “I seem to have found out most of the club’s history, but I have one more question. Is there any restriction as to who shall join the club?” “No, one of the club’s best features is the fact that every boy in high school is eligible.” “This fact,” she went on to explain, “proves its worth in that more than half of the boys in school are members. Only members were admitted to meetings. Each boy was supplied with a membership card when he paid his dues. The club passed the 180 membership mark this year.” With this she returned to her book and as I left I could see her numbering the next page—1928.

And that club has grown since it was started, four years ago, into one of the important clubs of the school. As its insignia, the organization has adopted a blue and gold striped sweater which is to be worn only at games, at rallies, and other pep assemblies. This year the club has undertaken many things, the annual Thanksgiving Day assembly being one of the first of these. This assembly was given jointly with the Girls’ Rooter club, and, although “George did it,” the two clubs spent much time on it. Several pep rallies were given during the year, to create enthusiasm for coming games. The biggest of these was given Thanksgiving Eve, just before the Aberdeen-Hoquiam football classic. At this gathering, the body of old John Hoquiam was burned at the stake. A tag sale was sponsored by the boys in the spring, in order to raise money for the spring athletics. This, with a matinee no-date dance, was so successful that c]jen enough money was raised to retain baseball and track as spring sports. This club, which was organized to create pep and to further organized yelling, has as its president the yell-leader of the school. This year the officers were: Ben K. Weatherwax, yell-king and president: Robert LeRoy, assistant yell-king; Victor LeRoy, treasurer; and Elmer Peterson, secretary. cUhe Booiiers QUIN AULT 41 Hi T Club By cA Iar aret Levi “To futher and promote dramatics in Weatherwax high school.” This has been the aim of the Hi D club, an organization composed of thirty juniors and seniors selected for membership at a general tryout held at the beginning of the school year. Judging from results, the club has accomplished its purpose during the last year. Adviser B. F. Hovies was assisted in managing the club by Romayne Fuller as president, Edward Barker as vice-president, Mary Gauntlett as secretary, and Walter Crim as treasurer. Throughout the year regular bi-monthly meetings were held at which plays were read, enacted and discussed. To give a dramatic production before the general public is an annual custom of the club. “Why Smith Left Home,” a three act farce by Edward R. Smith, was selected this year as the Hi D club play. On April 28, at the Bijou Theater, a full house viewed the presentation of the comedy, the plot of which centered around a newly married couple and a house full of visiting relatives. The cast in order of appearance was: Mrs. John Smith, Mary Gauntlett; Miss Smith, Margaret Levi; John Smith, George Savage; Elsie, the maid, Avis Marvin; Lavinia Daly, May G. Hall; Bob, Robert LeRoy; Rose, Loraine Cauthorn; Julia, Florence Glaser; Mrs. Billetdoux, Jean Fraser; General Billetdoux, Taynton Thayer; Major Duncombe, Warren Austin; Count Von Guggenheim, Clarence Winberg. Adding to the general success of the Hi Jinx was “The Robbery” a comedy in one act put on by the high D club. The cast included Thelma Morris, Don Karshner, May G. Hall, Edward Barker, Thelma Savage, and Bernard Ashman. The members of the club are: Mary Gauntlett, Florence Glaser, Donald Karshner, May G. Hall, Edward Barker, George Savage, Paul Kliest, Avis Marvin, Margaret Levi, Stanley Smith, Ellen Nordman, Leone Marlatt,Taynton Thayer, Charlotte Allen, Robert LeRov, Walter Crim, Thelma Morris, Warren Austin, Bernard Ashman, Dick Ferguson, Dorothy Noll, Ben K.

Hall “Oh, you say you’d like to know something about the Girls’ Rooter club? Well let’s see. Really we’ve accomplished so much this year! You know, the club was organized four years ago for the purpose of having unified yelling at games. At that time the membership was fifty. Since then we’ve grown to a membership of more than two hundred and really we’re the peppiest bunch of girls. “Have you noticed some good-looking navy blue regulation sweaters with clever gold A’s on them? Well, they’re the insignia of the club. And we have the jauntiest felt caps with alternating blue and gold panels to complete the costume. We have a special section in the grandstand at every athletic game and I guess we make quite a picture. We’re the yellers at very game and we surely can yell! We have a committee of girls who ushered at all the home games and really no Fifth avenue. New York traffic cop ever handled a crowd more efficiently than they. “And talking about football games—we had the best time on Armistice Day. A large delegation of our rooters went up to see the Olympia-Aberdeen football game at Olympia. No, we’re not pigs but we did root at that game. “You say, you think we’re a practical bunch? Well we are, but we manage to have some social affairs too. On November 24, we gave a joint assembly with the boys’ Booster club to create enthusiasm for the Thanksgiving Day game. Yes, it really was a clever assembly. “Our biggest social triumph of the year, however, was the Rooter and Booster Clubs’ No-date dance which we gave with the boys on April 22. Athletics, symbolized by footballs, basketballs, baseballs and bats, was the decorative motif of the dance and really it proved very novel in effect. Yes, the dance is an annual affair but this year it proved unusually successful. “What did we use for money you ask? Well, you see we had a concession committee which held noon-day sales every Friday. With the profit from these sales and our 50 cent dues we managed to have an ample supply of funds. We presented a bronze tablet to the George B. Miller Natatorium, we gave a basketball score-board to the gymnasium and left a parting gift to the school. I guess we’ll be remembered all right. “However we owe most of our success to Miss Vernie Foley, our ever-helping adviser. She was always thoughtful and devoted a great deal of her time to the club. “Yes, we were duly organized. Had a president n’everything. Our officers for the year were: President, Betty Buck; vice-president, Gret- chen Putnam; secretary, Evelyn Fechter; and treasurer, May G. Hall. “Next year? Well, most of us will be here next year. Altho this year was successful, just wait till next. We’ll make 1928 one to be remembered too.” “Well, I guess that’s about all I can tell you at the present. But don’t forget that we’re about the peppiest bunch of girls in school!” QUIN AULT 45 Honor- Society By Jean cA4cMitrray The one-bar pin, the two-bar pin and the torch are the symbols of membership in the Honor society. B6th scholastic and activity points are requisites for wearing these emblems. The main accomplishment of the organization this year has been the revision of the points granted for major and minor activities. The committee which was appointed to look into the matter consisted of Bernardine Wiseman, chairman, Jean McMurray, May G. Hall and Warren Austin. The following 28 students recieved one-bar pins: Margaret Fleming, Esther Turnquist, Mitchell Gasparovich, Harold Whedon, Uno Johnson, Lilie Palmroth, Henry Hoffman, Doris Dailey, Grace Hamilton, Dorothy Nielson, Nora Jean Stewart, Ruth Temple, Charlotte Smith, Elizabeth Beedon, Erja Lonngren, Phydelma Watson, Edith Talso, Lyli Pelto, Eleanor Wright, Laura Mead, William Jaskar, Wesley Estes, Ade Jaskar, Richard Sims, Glenn Hicks, Adwarge Armon, Theodore Niemi and Kathryn West.

Sixteen seniors received torches: Laurence Quillen, Betty Buck, Robert Miller, Jennie Soboleski. Fridolf Huleen, Sigrid Koski, Florence Champ, Jean McMurray, Jean Fraser, Mary Gauntlett, Irene Strand, Loraine Cau-thorn, Marjorie Douglass, Romayne Fuller, Gretchen Putnam and Myrtle Danielson. The members elected the following as officers: President, Fridolf Huleen; vice-president, Florence Champ; secretary, Bernardine Wiseman; and treasurer, Margaret Fleming. Miss Lelia Price is the club adviser. CA Work Well H)one At first to earn a one-bar pin we worked; But eager for achievements higher still We studied harder than we did before And helped our school in many ways, to gain That symbol blue with two small bars of gold. They say endeavor e’er returns what’s due. With this in mind, the highest goal we wished And for it toiled with all our might and main. So now we wear the torch that emblem true To guide us on thru other fields in life. 46 QUIN AULT Language Clubs (Res (Publica (Romano. Los Castellanitos Gens (D’Esprit QUIN AULT 47 (Res Publica (Romana By CAlan Crammatte The Res Publica Romana was “non est” before 1921 but, by hard and enthusiastic work “ab initio,” we, although the youngest, have brought ourselves up to the enviable position of the “ne plus ultra” of the language clubs. We are “nulli secundus” which proves that “labor omnia vincit.” Caesar was never a better ruler than our officers: Consuls, Bernar-dine Wiseman and Mary Gauntlett; scriba. Ursula Ovitt; quaestor, Denton Fuller; aediles, Dorothy Noll, Margaret Fleming, Kathryn West and Walter Agney; censors, Jean Stewart and Sigrid Koski. The five regular meetings held this year were rivals with the feasts of the gods of Olympus for gaiety. With the exception of the first which was the usual initiation, all the meetings combined entertainment and Latin research. Among other programs, stood out the Christmas meeting, with its Santa Claus, a humorous play, “Off With His Head,” and some living pictures of famous Roman leaders. Much credit for the success of the club must be given to Miss Lydian Bush, its adviser and the “sine qua non” of the Latin department. Los Castellanitos es un club de los estudiantes que reciben grados sobre cuatro en espanol. Sirve para traer a los miembros a juntos en gusto y para hacer mas facil y mas agrado el estudio de espanol. Los miembros congregan el segundo jueves en cada mes cuando ocupan el tiempo en diversions variosas de terminal- era: el presidente, Lyle Albert; el vice-presidente, Gretchen Putnam; el secretario y tesoro, Ro-mayne Pearson; avisador del club, Senorita Irene Johnston. Le cercle fi-ancais a fait beaucoup de choses interressantes cette annee. Tous les eleves avances sont membres pendant qu’il faut que les commencants aient au moins un grade de trois. On a conduit le recontre entierement en francais. Le programme s’est compose des jeus, des chansons, des lectures, et des plaisanteries.

Los Castellanitos By Gretchan (Putnam By cA4ary Gauntlett 48 QUIN AULT Sophomore cPlaymakers By Kathryn West “Now, Elizabeth dear, just say, ‘Thank goodness the table is spread.’ ” Such were the loquacious remarks of the sixty contestants for membership in the Sophomore Dramatic club, when tryouts were held early in November. Of these, ten boys and ten girls were chosen by the three j udges. At the first meeting the following officers were elected for the year: President, Wesley Estes; vice-president, Ursula Ovitt; secretary, Nora Jean Stewart; treasurer, Henry Hoffman; business manager, Harry Jennings; costumer, Corrine Bourque. The club under the supervision of Miss Marjorie Watt met twice a mcnth. At these meetings the members studied the art of make-up, costuming, and pantomime from the several plays they produced. These plays not only gave them practice in acting, but also served as entertainment. There are many promising young actors in the club, ranging from the type of Sarah Bernhardt to that of Charlotte Greenwood. The club does not devote its time to the things pertaining to dramatics alone, but it has also enjoyed many social meetings. One such affair was a dinner party given at the Miller cottage at Pacific beach. Another social affair was an old-fashioned Basket Social, to which all the students of the school were invited. This affair, which wTas held in the high school gym, was given to increase the finances of the club. Those who belong to the club are: Nora Jean Stewart, Gertrude Pfund, Ruth Temple, lone Quillen, Dorothea Hegg, Marie Bable, Maizey Spencer, Ursula Ovitt, Corrine Bourque, Kathryn West, and Henry Hoffman, Henry Mumaw, Wesley Estes, George Keeley, Burdette Miller, Harry Jennings, Clarence Brittain, George Fox, William Jaskar and Harry Burpee. The Playmakers is the only organization of its type that has not attempted to put on a public performance sometime during the year. However, at their meetings, the members memorized and presented a number of curtain skits and the two one-act plays, “Thank Goodness the Table Is Spread” and “The Dear Departed.” Sophomore Playmakers QUIN AULT 49 CAll we have done is but a window cTo the thiiigs that we can do. 50 QUIN AULT Pomander Walk By Myrtle (Danielson “Pomander Walk,” presented April 7 at the Grand Theatre, was acclaimed as the best senior play ever presented by a class in Weatherwax high school because of the excellence of the play itself and because of the skill displayed by the cast in making the characters live as real human beings. The play was a three act comedy of lively humor combined with scenes of sweet pathos. The scenery, designed by Ben Weatherwax and made by George Huntley’s manual training classes, was one of the remarkable features of the production. The five small houses, the bright flower gardens, the gazebo, the lamposts, and the rustic bridge were artistic and real looking. The action of the play took place in England in the spring of 1805, when girls wore gayly colored dresses with low necks and long full skirts. The fashionably dressed gentlemen of that time wore knee breeches, tightly-fitted jackets and shirts daintily trimmed with many ruffles. Most of the costumes were specially made for the production while the others were rented from Seattle costumers. The characters, who were human and true to life, impressed themselves upon the audience because of their very contrast to each other. One of the most impressive parts of the performance was Walter Carl’s portrayal of the Admiral Sir Peter Antrobus. Sir Peter won the heart of his audience from the first with his amusingly human ejaculation, “Gobbless-mysoul!” The interest and sympathy of the audience followed him to the very last when he was ensnared by the Widow Poskett. The part of Eyesore was enacted by Ben Weatherwax who, with his expressive pantomime, provided a large share of the comedy in the play. In direct contrast to the Eyesoi’e, who was the only unlovely part of the landscape along Pomander Walk, was Madame Lachenais, the delicately beautiful Franch lady, portrayed by Thelma Savage. Romayne Fuller took the part of the charming little Ma’mselle Marjolaine Lachenais, while the part of the loudly boasting Jerome Brooke-Hoskyn, Esq., was taken by Bernard Ashman. Leone Marlatt portrayed the part of Mrs. Pamelia Poskett who des- ”CA kiiid of summerhouse arranged to mask strange goings-on.” QUIN AULT 51 perately pursued the man of her choice. Edwin Karshner depicted the almost incurably bashful fiddler, Basil Pringle. Harold Hovies was the gayly debonair young Lieutenant Jack Sayle. The part of the unromantic, matter-of-fact spinster, Ruth Pennymint, was enacted by Charlotte Allen. Lelia Hughey was the sentimental Barbara Pennymint and William Koski was the Reverend Jacob Sternroyd, who was so besieged by requests for marriage licenses. Jim, the drolly humorous old salt, was enacted by Elmer Peterson. The part of the Hon. Caroline Thring, the haughty lady who was much maligned by the inhabitants of Pomander Walk, was taken by Caroline Hodges. Betty Tebb took the part of Nanette, the petite French maid, while Ruth Marshall was Jane, who took care of the fourth young hopeful of Jerome Brooke-Hoskyn, Esq. Edward Barker, as the Muffin-Man, looked as if he had worked in flour all his life, while Angus Snow made an exceedingly effective Lamplighter. The cast showed the careful work and the constant coaching of Miss Minnie Moore McDowell, the dramatic director of the performance. The orchestra, composed mostly of seniors, played three selections between acts. The personnelle consisted of the following: Sigrid Koski, Signe Kangas, Mabelle Jakobsson, Jean Fraser, Edward Barker, Victor Droege, Robert Studebaker, Evelyn Fechter, Sigurd Holland, Lucille Shoun, Virginia Henderson, Lawrence Duncan, Roland Buchman, Robert Elway, George Savage, Richard Crim. Majorie Douglass and Ruth Hunter, wearing crinoline dresses, sang several old-time songs between acts. The business staff was as follows: general manager, Warren Peterson ; assistant manager, Kenneth Day; properties, Leivo Lindgren; assistant properties, Margaret Delanty; costumes, Betty Tebb; assistant costumes, Frances Fechter. “Five little houses byF the waterside.” QUIN AULT In the land of cGVIother Goose. QUIN AULT 53 Hilights of the Hi Jinx cBy cA Iyrtlc Danielson The annual Hi Jinx, given March 2 at the Grand Theatre, presented a program that combined lively comedy, heavy melo-dramatic tragedy and the playful scenes found in childhood’s fairy tales. “In the Land of Mother Goose” was a clever skit which depicted as living people the characters well known to children, such as: The Tin Soldiers, Raggedy Ann and Andy, Mary Mary Quite Contrary, Bo Peep, Little Boy Blue, Miss Muffet, the Wicious Wamp, the Desperate Lover, and the Wooden Soldier. When Betty sleepily closed her eyes all these people stepped out of a huge fairy book which was designed by Ben Weatherwax. Dancing girls dressed to represent all varieties of flowers formed a beautiful background for the skit. The dancing, which was coached by Mrs. Taynton Thayer, was graceful and effective. “The Robbery” was an amusing comedy of a young girl who was left alone at night in a house in which burglars prowled. The play was given by the Hi D club and coached by B. F. Hovies, adviser of the club. The cast included Thelma Morris, Thelma Savage, Don Karshner, and Bernard Ashman. Some of the finest acting of the year was found in “Release” a one-act drama of four men who were charged with murder. Those who took part in the play were Walter Carl, Paul Kleist, Stanley Smith, Edward Barker and Samuel Norin. The emotional quality with which the roles were enacted was one of the outstanding features of the Hi Jinx. The play was directed by Miss Minnie Moore McDowell. Ben Weatherwax and George Christensen kept the audience laughing by their mirth-provoking skits. Their interpretation of the Volga Boatman furnished excellent comedy. Between acts Charlotte Allen played “The Song of the Wanderer” on the piano, and Charles Hawker executed some jazzy dance steps. Evelyn Fechter played the violin selections, “Scene de Ballet” and “Indian Love Call.” TJhe (Robbery T3he (Release 54 QUIN AULT Weatherwax orchestra that placed in the Southwest dSVlusic CAdeet in Centralia.

QUIN AULT 55 CsYLusicmakers By cAVLar aret Fleming The Weatherwax musicmakers, under the able direction of Miss Frieda Portmann have provided praiseworthy music at many school productions this year including senior play, Hi Jinx, Hi D club play, and the operetta. They also played at a Parent-Teachers meeting and on Hospital Day. At the Southwest Washington Music Meet held in Centralia February 11 and 12 Aberdeen took fifth place. Henry Mumaw placed first in the cornet solo. The orchestra and the clarinet solo played by Laurence Duncan, took two second places. In the early part of the school year at a pay-assembly given by this department, the boys glee club presented an operetta “Freshies.” This one-act operetta depicted college life at a frat house. The members of the Wan-ta Pi fraternity were Fred Graf, George Savage, Oliver Kelly, Walter Gibson, Dick Ferguson, Ed Pinckney, John Randich, Ed Stanley, Melvin Hiller, Earl Keller, Walter Grindrod, Lester Nibarger and Clinton Levings. Besides this feature the program consisted of a number of selections by the orchestra, the girls’ quartet, the boys’ double quartet, and girls’ chorus. The assembly was completed with a burlesque “Lucy, the Farmer’s Daughter,” given by some of the members of the public speaking classes under the direction of Minnie Moore McDowell. A splendid musical concert was given over the radio by some of the student musicians. A selected orchestra played two pieces and the remainder of the program included a saxaphone solo by Clinton Levinga accompanied by Gertrude Pfund, a trio composed of Jean Fraser violin, Sigurd Holland cello, and Victor Droege at the piano, and a piano duet by Victor Droege and Sigurd Holland. A violin solo by Evelyn Fechter and a cornet solo by Henry Mumaw, both accompanied by Marjorie Douglass, completed the program. A number of special programs were arranged and given at the bimonthly luncheons of the Rotary Club March 23, April 6 and 20. Those who took part in the entertainments to date were Ruth Hunter, Marjorie Douglass, Caroline Hodges. Henry Mumaw. Arvo Rahkonnen, Sigurd Holland, Victor Droege, Lenore Wolfe, Signe Kangas, Sigrid Koski, Olga Kan-tonen, and Laurence Duncan. The boys’ double quartet consisting of Edwin Ranta, Clarence Brittain, Walter Gibson, Sam Norin, Nicholas Yantsin, Harry Damito, Clinton Levings, Burton Beaman and Edward Stanley made its first appearance at one of these luncheons. This year the music department helped reduce the debt of that department by a concession table kept in the lower hall. Edna Rice had charge of the candy sales. The orchestra was composed of violins, Evelyn Fechter. Jean Fraser, Lelia Hughey, Mabelle Jacobsson, Signe Kangas, Sigrid Koski, Roland Buchman, Robert Elway, William Jaskar and Ernest Pelto; viola.

We knew that we had sent our best- - a troupe to satisfy the most exacting kind of test imposed on any High. The orchestra first played a while to start the program out. Then Erma Brower made us smile, in fact she made us shout by telling of a baseball fan who didn’t know' the game, who thought the fouls and flies at hand all from an aviary came. Jean Fraser played a tune or two upon her violin. What did Romayne and Donnie do? Well now, it might have been they did it all for us- - of course all things can be improved. The act would have had more force if screens had been removed! Then Charlotte showed the skill she has w'ith classic music spiced with bits of syncopated jazz. And then w'e were enticed away to far and sunny Spain by graceful tangoed steps so lightly danced by June and Tayn with tinkling castanets. Ruth Hunter sang some songs for us, helped out by Evelyn, and Charlotte, till the time when Lucy tripped right in. In gripping drammer we were held, and in its clutches stayed until the villians all were quelled and mortages all paid. T te Gang QUIN AULT 57 cUhe China Shop cBy Margaret Fleming “Pretty little maids of gay Ping Pong, pretty little maids they sing a song”. So commenced “The China Shop,” a Chinese operetta presented by the music department under the direction of Miss Frieda Portmann May 17 at the Bijou theater. The operetta was of an amusing type and well presented, each member of the cast doing his best to make it a success. Edward Pinckney and Lenore Wolfe hero and heroine fitted their parts well. Kathryn Appleyard and Edward Barker furnished the comedy. Characters in the play are as follows: Fat Sing, a wealthy merchant, Maurice Roblan; Sing Fong, his son, Edward Pinckney; Wun Tun, a politician, Clarence Brittain; Mush Lush, a woman hater, Sam Norin; Chunk, a secretary, Harry Jennings; Tannyu, a fisherman, Walter Gibson; Mr. Jus-cot Karfair, a reformer, Edward Barker; Lotus Blossom, Lenore Wolfe; Three Belles, Ting-a-Ling, Edith Talso, Ding Dong, Willadee Hart, Ping Pong, Gertrude Pfund; Hoy Tee Toy, a chaperone, Kathryn Appleyard. The chorus represented shoppers and garden house guests. Fat Sing, a wealthy merchant of Ping Pong, who was weary of life and wealth, decided to disappear. He arranged to bequeath all his wealth to indigent orphans instead of his son, Sing Fong. After many interesting things occur, Lotus Blossom falls heir to Fat Sing’s inches and Sing Fong marries her not for her money but for love. A selected orchestra accompanied the production. B. F. Hovies directed the libretto. The making of the costumes for the chorus was supervised by a wardrobe committee comprised of Effie Nocula chairman, Elma Laito and Sibyl Ross. The girls planned the color scheme and the cutting. Each individual looked out for the making of his own garment. The principals’ costumes were rented. Operetta Principals 58 QUIN AULT Carl Fuller Johnson Crim Shakespearean Contest In one of the most enthusiastic Shakespearean contests ever held in the Weatherwax high school Romayne Fuller and Walter Carl received first laurels. Erma Brower was awarded second position for the girls while Samuel Norin and Robert Le Roy tied for boys’ second place. Romayne interpreted the parts of Juliet and her nurse from act III, scene II, of Romeo and Juliet. Walter gave a presentation of the parts of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, from the third part of King Henry VI, act III, scene II. Aberdeen placed first with eight points in the Grays Harbor Shakespearean contest held in Hoquiam, the annual University of Washington contest having been called off because of lack of interest. Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Montesano and Elma sent entrants to the county contest. Walter Carl won first among the boys and Romayne Fuller placed second among the girls. Oratory The boys of the school seem to have the greater forensic ability. In the city meet of the National Oratorical contest on the Constitution of the United States, Wayne Johnson, a junior, won first place with his oration entitled “The History and the Significance of the Constitution”. Walter Crim. choosing as his subject “The Constitution”, placed second. In the county contest held at Montesano Walter Crim won first place and Wayne Johnson took third position. Walter received a gold medal and $15. Wayne was awarded a cash prize of $5. The district competition held at Olympia was won by a boy from Stadium high school of Tacoma. The contest was sponsored by The Seattle Daily Times. Weatherwax Prizes Two prizes are awarded each commencement night to the two seniors having the highest scholastic standings for their whole four-year courses.

The first in the season was given December 18 in honor of the football boys, Willabel Atkins and Lillian Hughes acting as hostesses. A real Christmas atmosphere was carried out by the decorations and favors. With Donna Ingram and Lillian Greer well-wishing them, the boys’ basketball team was entertained March 17 in a room in which everywhere were reminders of St. Patrick and the Irish. The girls’ basketball team felt that spring had truly arrived when they viewed the decorations for their luncheon March 24. Catherine Byard was hostess. An Easter affair was given for the cast of the senior play, April 9, with Ellen Erickson and Dixie Burgess as hostesses. That May Day was near was taken into consideration by Elvia Harvey and Willabel Atkins in decorating for The Ocean Breeze Staff luncheon April 28. Gild officers of school organizations and the girls’ adviser were honored May 12. Profusely colored wild flowers formed the decorations, as planned by Ruth Tiedeman and Irene Lloyd.

QUIN AULT 67 Bobcats By Bill Casey McHugh—“Iron Man Bob’’ earned his name by steady playing in every minute of every game this year. Bob has made two letters as fullback. Millen—Mike is a scrapper. He has played a scrappy game at end for Aberdeen for two years. LeRoy—Dick started as an end and developed into a creditable wing man. He could get down under punts and nail his man. Werner—“Duke” is the only four year letterman. He played a bang up game at tackle and won himself a position on the 1926 All Southwest team. Quillen—Playing his first year of high school football, “Fat” developed into a heady quarter. Before the end of the season he was a triple threat man. Murphy—“Hank” developed into a star in 1926 as halfback. He has completed his second year as a Bobcat and will be back next year. Laukkanen—Aino is captain-elect of the 1927 team. He is a two year letterman and will be a valuable guard next season. Spoon—Don is light and fast, playing both at end and in a back-field berth. His uncanny ability of following the ball marked him as a fast man. Christensen—“Tiny” hailed from Oregon and developed into a moose of strength at tackle. Seldom could opponents penetrate his side of the wall. Nocula—“Coolie” started as guard but later turned into a crashing half. He should be a big asset to the 1927 team. Ruuska—Bennie was the smallest member of the team but played a fighting game at half. This was his first year on the first string. Klufton—“Meb” was a fighting go-getter of a guard. His stocky build enabled him to stop the hardest attacks. Luikko—Hugo was injured in the first practice and was hampered all season with a sore shoulder, but won a letter and a name for himself at left half. Hovies—Harold played snapperback and played well. This was his first and last year on the Bobcat team. Peterson—“Lard” has been at guard all season and has stopped some big men in his time. He was a three year letterman. McKay—If steady turning out deserves credit, Art gets it in shovelfuls. He made his first letter this year playing center. Waara—“Willie” although he was laid up the last half of the season, displayed lots of fight while in good condition. He’ll be out next year. Easterly—Clyde distinguished himself as a tackle this year. He gained the coveted “A” and will be missed next season. Bushnell—George turned out faithfully every night taking all the bumps and bruises without complaining. He earned his first letter. Cams—Neil played a fast game as half on the 1926 squad, and won his first letter. Stead—Johnny played end on the Bobcat eleven and was a good man at receiving passes and breaking up his opponents attack. Johnson—Ben managed well, doing everything from washing jerseys and sci'ubbing floors to packing the medicine kit. 68 QUIN AULT Season's Summary By Bill Casey With four victories and two defeats, the Bobcat eleven was able to finish the 1926 Southwest Washington football race in a tie for second. Chehalis by virtue of six straight wins was champion while Olympia, Raymond and Hoquiam completed the four cornered tie for second place honors. Weatherwax’s second and third teams besides furnishing good opposition to the regulars had a successful season. The second string men were winners over the Montesano scrubs twice while the third team men defeated Ocosta and Moclips. At the close of the 1926 football season, it was learned that Coach Homer C. Taylor was to resign as football mentor. Coach Taylor in his two years as football instructor put out good teams. He will continue his duties as basketball and baseball coach. Before coming to Aberdeen Mr. Taylor coached football at Edison High, Bowbells, North Dakota, and Pendleton, Oregon. During the war he was a member of the aviation corps. September 25 Alumni 6 To start out the 1926 football season, the Bobcats trounced their former classmates 13 to 6. The Taylorites showed mid-season form to make 13 first downs to the Alumni’s five. Quillen showed up well at quarter while Werner and Christensen worked nicely at tackles. Aberdeen 49 October 2 Montesano 0 The Weatherwax cohorts opened the league race by a decisive victory over the county-seat boys. When the smoke of the battle had risen sky high, the Bobcats had scored 49 counters to the Bulldog’s none. The game, played at Stewart field, was featured by the heavy Aberdeen team’s great ground gains. CA smiling squad. Coach Taylor Aberdeen 13 QUIN AULT 69 Aberdeen 0 October 9 Everett 6 Rushing the Bobcats off their feet in the first few minutes of play, the Everett football team pushed over a lone touchdown to win the game. After Everett’s score, Aberdeen found themselves but couldn’t push the ball across the line. The game was played on Stewart field. Aberdeen 60 October 16 Centralia 0 In what turned out to be a track meet, the Bobcats pushed, clawed and tore the Centralia team to shreds, to win by the measly score of 60 to 0. It was Aberdeen’s second straight conference victory won by decisive score to be played on Stewart field. Aberdeen 27 October 23 Puyallup 0 Puyallup, playing on their home gridiron, could not halt the onslaughts of a heavy Weatherwax eleven and bit the dust to the tune of 27 to 0. Murphy and Quillen showed up as the brightlights of the game while Nocula and Bushnell worked nicely in the line. Aberdeen 7 October 30 Chehalis 9 A tricky, shifty, and fast Chehalis football team came to Aberdeen and before the Bobcats knew it they were trailing behind 9 to 0. Coming to life in the last quarter the Blue and Gold warriors fell three points short of victory. Jones, of Chehalis, was the outstanding star of the game. Aberdeen 48 November 6 Kelso 0 Playing ip a veritable lake, the Bobcats swam their way to a 48 to 0 victory over Kelso. The contest, played at Kelso, was featured by many fumbles on the part of both teams due to the slippery condition of the ball. Aberdeen 0 November 11 Olympia 3 A place-kick by Gallagher on the first play of the last quarter was enough to enable Olympia to beat the Bobcats at Stevens field in Olympia. McHugh played a good game at full for Aberdeen in this tight fray. Although it rained steadily, a large delegation of Aberdeenites were present. Aberdeen 21 November 25 Hoquiam 0 A fighting Bobcat aggregation went to Hoquiam and returned with the annual clash tucked under their belts. The heavy Aberdeen team went through the twin city team at will to win 21 to 0. Quillen and Murphy worked neatly in the backfield while Werner, Spoon and Peterson played good games in the line. Coley’s third team. QUIN AULT 71 Basketball This year proved a successful one for the girl hoopers of Weatherwax. Coach Marie Peterson developed a smoothrunning sextette that captured the inter-city championship title between Aberdeen and Hoquiam. Since there was no Southwest Washington girls’ basketball league this year a schedule consisting of inter-class and inter-city games was arranged with Hoquiam. After the inter-class games at home at which the seniors, for the first time in their high school career, came forth as victors, Miss Peterson each class played two games with Hoquiam. The Aberdeen seniors met defeat twice at the hands of their opponents to the tune of 19 to 27 and 27 to 17. However, Aile Leaf led her fighting juniors to an overwhelming victory of 52 to 11 and the Hoquiam juniors forfeited the second game. In a fast game, the Aberdeen sophomores defeated the Ho-quiamites by a score of 15 to 14. In the second game, which was played on their home floor, the Aberdeen team piled up a score of 17 to Ho-quiam’s 12. By winning four of the six inter-class games played, Aberdeen was entitled to, and was awarded a blue and gold banner. Every girl who played in any of the games was awarded her class numerals. From the girls winning numerals Coach Peterson developed a school team to meet Hoquiam’s first squad. These first string dribblers played a series of three games for the inter-city championship. Aberdeen won the first game by a score of 26 to 21. However Hoquiam took the second tussle by scoring 23 points to Aberdeen’s 20. The deciding game played on the Hoquiam floor netted an easy victory for the Weatherwax six. At the final whistle the score stood 25 to 9, thereby giving the championship for 1927 to Aberdeen. The student bodies of Aberdeen and Hoquiam presented each school with an engraved shield to be kept permanently. Each championship team is awarded a silver bar bearing its numerals to be attached to the shield. School Sextette 72 QUIN AULT Christensen Spoon Murphy Karshner Laukkanen Battling Bobcats By Bill Casey Southwest champions for the first time in the history of the school was the accomplishment of the 1927 Weatherwax Bobcats basketball team. Starting the season by winning four of five non-conference tilts the Bobcats looked like good material. This forecast was soon shattered when they fell into a slump. Only after a hard fight Shelton was conquered by a 20 to 13 count in the conference opener. In their next two tilts they didn’t fare so well and dropped an easy game to Chehalis by a score of 22 to 10. Still in the slump, Coach Homer C. Taylor’s proteges lost to the fast Olympia quintet bv the count of 29 to 10. Redeeming their old form, the Blue and Gold cohorts snapped back into fighting mettle to take two tilts from the Raymond and South Bend Hovies Saar Quillen Hartley Kolts QUIN AULT 73 fives by scores of 25 to 22, and 31 to 16 respectively. In the last road trip Aberdeen met and conquered the Vancouver dribblers in a 23 to 17 victory. Then the dope bucket recieved its first upset at the claws of the Bobcats. Hoquiam, ancient and time-worn rival, came to one of the most exciting and thrilling defeats of the season when the Taylorites emerged winners to the tune of 21 to 20. Hoquiam reversed the tables to take two straight games and the inter-city title. To complete the schedule the Aberdeen athletes gave the Montesano team a 41 to 13 drubbing. Although they were considered the weakest team in the Southwest Washington basketball tournament, held February 24, 25 and 26, the Aberdeen Bobcats clawed and fought their way to their first Southwest championship and the right to enter the state tournament. With all the dope favoring their opponents the Taylorites had the luck to draw Olympia in the first game. Quillen, by checking the far renowned Failor, and Murphy by scoring six points along with Boyle, Hovies, Kolts and Christensen all aided in kicking the dope bucket upside down in their thrilling 13 to 12 victory over the league leaders. Hoquiam likewise upset the dope to defeat Raymond and thereby earned the right to play Aberdeen for the title. After trailing for three quarters the Bobcat scoring machine began working and big “Jumbo” Christensen tossed in six points in the final canto to give Weatherwax the game and championship. Again Quillen’s great defense work plus his offensive work with the help of Murphy, Kolts, Hovies, Laukkanen and Christensen enabled Aberdeen to win the final game over Hoquiam by a 27 to 23 count. Olympia after losing to the Bobcats met and defeated the Raymond team in a game featured by Failor’s long shots. The Capitol City team captured second place in the conference race by defeating the Hoquiam squad 23 to 9 in the last game of the tournament. We are seven. 74 QUIN AULT Free Throws Lyle Easterly, sophomore center, is a boy with big hands. He achieved the honor of being the only Bobcat to be able to hold a basketball in each hand. Lyle has a wonderful reach which will be a benefit in his future basketball experiences. All hail to the “chicken leaguers” who failed by a few points of defeating the southwest champs. In other words, the second team after winning from various independent clubs met defeat in their championship match with the title holders. Those who failed to earn their atvard as regulars but were a big help in the second team victories were: Lyle Easterly, Glynn Boyle, Glen Hicks, Ade Jaskar, Clinton Hollinger, Arvo Williams, Willie Leaf, William Waara, Earl Keller. By defeating the juniors and sophomores by big scores the Class of ’27 basketball team won the interclass title. The sophomores winning from the juniors but losing to the graduate men came second. The 1927 season was one of many thrills and close, exciting games. Aberdeen’s 21 to 20 victory over Hoquiam and their 13 to 12 win over Olympia were both upsets and big thrillers. Several of the other games were some of the fastest exhibitions of basketball held in the new George B. Miller maple court. Senior Champions. Louis, Mike, Marshall, Frank, Ben, Ed, Laurence, George QUIN AULT 75 Play Ball By Bill Casey Duplicating their records of the past three years, the Bobcat baseball team went through the season without winning a conference game. Poor weather conditions continually hampered the Taylor diamond aspirants from working out to a good effect. After two days of practice, the Weatherwax nine met and lost to the Olympia men on the Electric Park diamond by an approximate score of 17 to 0. The latter part of the game was played in a steady drizzle. Mid rainstorms the Aberdeen and Hoquiam baseball teams clashed on the latter’s field and after seven innings of wet baseball the Crimson and Gray were leading 6 to 0. A drenching downpour caused the game to come to an end. Centralia, by scoring eleven runs, was able to score a win over the Weatherwax men who scored only four runs. Shelton was next and after a tough fight finally won by a score of 9 to 5. In the closest game of the season, Aberdeen went down to a 4 to 2 defeat in their return game with Olympia. Holding a two to nothing lead for seven and one-half innings the Aberdeen team blew up and gave the game to Olympia. In their return match with Centralia, they fared no better and finally, after nine innings of ragged baseball, the Bobcat nine emerged a 7 to 1 loser. The game was marred by the continual booting of the ball by the Aberdeen team. Next followed games with Hoquiam and Shelton. Both games were defeats for Aberdeen. These games concluded the eight game schedule. The Olympia nine, undefeated throughout the season, finished first in the conference race for the title. Centralia, having lost only two games, took second place. Hoquiam placed third and Shelton finished fourth. The Weatherwax men with eight defeats claimed the cellar title. c.Baseball Squad 76 QUIN AULT Swimmers are You Q eady? Go! By ‘Dick Sims With the opening of the natator-ium, swimming was introduced into Weatherwax high. Miss Geraldine Cramer hails from California. While attending school at Berkeley she became interested in swimming. After graduating from the University of Washington, she returned to California to attend an instructor’s school in San Francisco. Here she attained a master’s degree as an instructor and received a gold medal from the National Swimming Association. Miss Cramer has had experience in northwest swimming circles and before coming to Aberdeen taught at Everett. Last year she taught commercial geography and girls’ hygiene. This year she has devoted her entire time to the instruction of swimming classes and coaching the high schol swimming team. Largely through her efforts a pag-ent was staged in the pool in November. The characters selected for “The Watery Romance” were: Ethel Sargent as the minister; Geraldine Cra- mer, the bride; Bernardine Wiseman, the bridegroom; Barbara Tucker, the bride’s father; and Elizabeth Desmond, the bride’s aunt. Elysabeth Schaff was the best man; Maude Johnson, the maid of honor; Bill Tucker and Glen Wheeler, pages; and Barbara Bishop, the ring bearer. Three boys, John Lupton, Clinton Levings, and Lester Nibarger and six girls, Patricia and Geraldine McGillicuddy, Nellie Timonen, Mary Man-well, Lois Lupton, and Welma Kusicto appeared in some acrobatic stunts to conclude the pageant. As an added attraction Miss Dorothy Widmer, the Pacific Northwest champion for the mile, the half, and the 220 yard swims, gave an exhibition of her strokes. In October the freshman with but four contestants won the interclass swimming meet with 42 points. By virtue of their victory they obtained possession of Trapp’s Swimming Trophy, a silver cup. The juniors were second with 32 points and the seniors nosed out the sophomores for third place by one counter, 8 to 7. The four freshmen entries, all of whom placed in some event, were Cantello Strickland, Maude Johnson, Alice Tebb and John Lupton. In the first interscholastic meet, the Centralia high school and the Centralia junior college were the Weather wax opponents. Aberdeen captured first place with 71 points, the Centralians netting 28. Cantello Strickland and Maude Johnson starred. The local squad tasted their only defeat of the year from Vancouver high school swimmers early in February and that by a two point margin 46 to 44. Jennie Saari was the Weath- QUIN AULT 77 erwax star in this meet. In the big meet of the year Hoquiam proved to be no match for the fast coming Aberdeen natators. Nine out of ten firsts helped the Bobcats win 67 to 15. Albin YVagar was the only contestant to win two first places. Other Weatherwax swimmers who took firsts were Donald Karshner, George Savage, Maude Johnson, Betty Desmond, Jennie Saari and Ethel Sargent. Boys who earned letters on Weatherwax high school’s first swimming team were Cantello Strickland, crawl stroke artist; Albin Wagar and Denton Fuller, backstroke and crawl; George Savage and Bob LeRoy. breaststroke; Jay Hunger, crawl; Robert Dudley, back-stroke; John Lupton, diving; and Donald Karshner in the plunge for distance. The last named was probably Weatherwax’s most consistent point-getter, as he won his event in each meet. Lifesaver Ethel Sargent, plunge for distance; Jennie Saari and Maude Robinson, crawl and backstroke; Betty Desmond, breaststroke; Geraldine McGillicuddy, backstroke; and Elysabeth Schaff, crawl; were the letter winners for girls. During the year Barbara Tucker passed the junior, and George Savage and Arnold West the senior life saving examination. They were awarded certificates and badges by the National Life Saving Association of America. Weatherwax C Catators 78 QUIN AULT Ti acking Along By Bill Casey What could be termed a most successful season was experienced by Coach John Mashin’s athletes in their 1927 conquest of track and field events. After a late start due to an existing doubt as to whether Aberdeen would have spring sports, the Bobcats slowly developed into an exceptional tract team. In their first meet, which was a triangular contest with Olympia and Auburn, the wearers of the Blue and Gold tied the Capital city squad with 49V points. Hovies with firsts in the two distance events was high point man for Aberdeen. Another close meet was run off by the Bobcats when they defeated Hoquiam on Emerson field in a 62 to 60 victory. Beaman with firsts in the 100-yard dash and the broad jump, and with a tie for first in the high jump claimed high point honors. Montesano was next taken on by the Weather-wax men. This meet proved an easy one when Aberdeen scored 87 points to Monte’s 32. Lund-gren with firsts in the 220 and the 440 and a place on the winning relay team, was Aberdeen’s big scorer. Every Aberdeen man scored in this meet. Jawn Mashin Close on the heels of the Monte meet came the annual county contest held on the Elma fairgrounds May 7. Aberdeen was figured to place second, with Hoquiam first. But the newspaper predictions proved wrong CyVfashin Men. QUIN AULT 79 as the Mashin men scored 64 points to Hoquiam’s 45 while Montesano came third with 10, and Shelton and Elma scored two and one respectively. Hovies again with two firsts in the distance events was high scorer for Aberdeen and tied with Globensky of Hoquiam for high man of the meet. All but one Bobcat placed first, second or third and was thereby eligible for the district meet in Olympia, May 7. The Weatherwax athletes were responsible for three new county marks. The former 19 foot 3 inch broad jump record was broken when Beaman leaped 19 feet 6 inches. Spencer shattered the 5 foot 4 inch high jump mark when he went 5 feet 41 2 inches. With a heave of 154 feet 8 inches, Murphy broke his former javelin record. Thirteen boys, by scoring one first or 8 points qualified for the winged A; Lundgren in the 440, stubby Williams 220, and the relay; Morris in the 100, 220, and relay; Hovies, Savage, and Ruuska in the mile and the half mile; Christensen and Jaskar in the shot put and the discus; Werner in the shot put, discus, the 440, and the relay; Beaman in the 100, high jump, broad jump, and the relay; Spencer in the high jump; Saar in the broad jump; Murphy in the javelin, the 440, and the relay; and Williams in the pole vault and the javelin. To finish the season came the Seventh Annua! Southwest Washington track and field meet in Olympia, May 14. The Bobcats with 13 counters finished sixth in the district race. Vancouver with 33 points won first, Raymond placed second, Olympia third, Castle Rock four, and Centralia fifth. Four district records crashed to the ground in the tussle and one was tied by the contestants. The new records are discus, 119 feet 4 inches; 440-yard run, 53 3 5 seconds; 220-yard low hurdles, 27 1 5 seconds; and the relay, 1:36 3 5. The 220 yard run mark of 23 flat was tied. All first and second place winners were eligible for state participation. Murphy, with a first in the javelin, and Hovies, with a second in the half Hoquiam-CAherdeen meet. 80 QUIN AULT mile, qualified for Pullman meet.

QUIN AULT 81 t ' 1 TUB OFFICE To say what one thinks is a common thing, cBut writing one’s thots is blue sky. 82 QUIN AULT cT5he Tale of the Table By ‘Bill Koski Doctor Spezonavich was about to make a demonstration of giving life to inanimate objects. Just why he picked the first floor hall of the high school for his experiment is not known. He must have had some specific reasons for doing so. After a lengthy preliminary discussion concerning his experiment, and his life giving fluid, he warned us not to be surprised or not to be afraid of any peculiar change of atmosphere in the room. He then commenced with the experiment. He pulled from his coat pocket a vial with an illuminating fluid in it. The fluid was of a dull lavender color but the light produced by the liquid was a ghastly green with a slight touch of yellow. He took from another pocket a hypodermic needle. On the point of the needle glowed a minute piece of radium. He explained to us that it was not a pure piece of radium but was a compound consisting of radium and morphine. With the hypodermic needle he put an injection of the lavender fluid into each leg of the table. After a few moments a peculiar smell filled the hall. The smell somewhat resembled that of ozone. Sometimes it would change to that of old lead. Soon a few creaks were heard. After a loud snap the table quivered for a moment and then stood still. Chills commenced to creep down my spine. I thought it best for me to leave. I didn’t have any special love for the supernatural anyway. As I was leaving, the table let out a yawn and a sigh of relief that seemed to me as if they had been suppressed for ages. At this moment the doctor walked up to the table and asked: “What makes you yawn and stretch so?” The table snapped back in a voice that seemed like someone was talking into the mouth of a jug: “You would too, if you had as many persons sit on you as I do.” “Just what kind of people sit upon you?” came back the doctor’s voice. “Oh, all sorts. Sometimes the janitor spends hours upon my back, kidding the girl that sits near the fountain. Then there’s a bald fellow from the other school. I’d better not talk about him, he might sue me for slander.” “Is that the only sort of persons?” asked the doctor. “Oh, gosh no! When those high school students come here you’d think they were prehistoric people by the way they act. During the senior play rehearsals a boy and a girl came here. Well, they talked about the sea and just little nothings. Then they felt down-hearted because they didn’t know any bishops. After they left another couple came out. I didn’t mind them so much because they knew the latest gossip. I guess drugstore clerks always do.” At this moment the doctor’s voice questioned, “Do they ever maltreat you ?” “Oh yes,” came back the answer, “sometimes they throw books at me, and at other times they kick my legs.” “Just how does the faculty act?” quizzed Spazonevich. QUIN AULT 83 “One evening a man and a woman entered the high school. There was quite a scuffle in the halls but I suppose married people always fight. Anyway they sign a permanent contract.” While this talking was going on I became suspicious of some sort of faking. Could this doctor be a ventriloquist? While I was meditating on this question, the table ceased talk. We all left the school and went to the Academy to get the table off our minds. Next morning Leonard Fosberg was found lying under the table in a stupor. All he could say for two or three hours was: “I fell asleep last night and someone poked me with a pin. Maybe I sat on a tack.” William Briggs, age 14, sprawled gracefully in a hammock, saw a girl of about his age coming across the lawn toward him. She was licking the last traces of chocolate candy from her fingers. His heart sank. “Why, Mr. Briggs! What a delightful surprise,” trilled Miss Myrtle Snider, for it was none other, and she sat down beside her unwilling victim. “Yeah,” he grunted loquaciously. “I’ve been feeling so lonely,” she gurgled coquettishly, “and then I saw you sitting here looking so sad and lonely that I just couldn’t bear it so I came right over. Now’ do tell me what you’ve been doing — and everything.” “Yeah,” he assented lifelessly. “Do you knowr,” she confided in the manner of her favorite heroine, “I feel as though I’d known you for eons — perhaps in some previous incarnation. Do you mind if I call you Will-yum?” she added soulfully. “Yeah,” he agreed. “You may call me Myrtle,” she said archly. “Yeah.” She drew' a deep breath and sighed longingly. Fixing her eyes on his weary face she inquired emotionally, “Do you—do you believe in free “No,” he roared murderously. She was startled for an instant. Then she said playfully, “You naughty boy, you frightened me. But I’ll forgive you. Let’s talk about ourselves. What do you think of me?” He remarked gloomily, “You remind me of the wild sea waves.” “Because I am so restless and unconquered?” she cried rapturously. He rose and said brutally as he walked aw'ay, “No. Because you’re all wet and you make me sick.” Just Like a CyVLan By Helen Carlson love?” The Plague By Bernardine Wiseman What a grim dark thing is Death, That it stalks o’er all the land, Sometimes ’tis swift, Other times ’tis slow. It leans dow'n and quenches breath, Does it thus, on every hand. Very few does it sift, It takes lives in a row. 84 QUIN AULT English Themes Bp Hilma Johnson The rain is beating down on the roof in a dreary monotony; the room is warm and the atmosphere drowsy. I would like to doze. It seems that always when it is raining softly, my brain begins to work in a pat-pat-pat sort of a manner, and I can think of nothing original, clever, striking1 or excellent for an English story for the morrow. And there is that saxophone player, or rather torturer, next door. He is just on the scales now, has been ever since I can remember, and probably will be for the rest of his lite. At any rate, when I do try to think or concentrate, “do-re-mi-fas” go ringing through my brain like that Aberdeen midday fire alarm whistle, and all the stories that any poem ever inspired are off for Cos-mopolis. Yet I must do something for the assignment or flunk. I start looking through a magazine for a poem. I’d like something “new” you know. Ah, here’s one—and I read it through. Then my excellent intentions are forgotten—that story on the next page must be good—look who it’s by! I must read a couple lines to see how much I will like it; for I’ll read it when I have finished my theme. But the morrow’s English class looms on the horizon again. I become religious and must study once more. Magazines having proved treacherous, I turn to “Longfellow’s Works,” a nearby volume. He has written a lovely death poem, “Auf Wiedersehn.” I like it. However the only death I have ever been acquainted with was that of my dog. I was very grieved at the time. But now I cannot recall my emotions, so I guess that is in the discard. Thus my every thought seems to go taboo. And if only tomorrow’s was the last theme, if themes would be over with, but no! There are yet themes upon themes. Themes must go on, school must go on, and “Life must go on.” 'I he moral of my story is: Never put off until Thursday night what you can do Monday. Senior- dress up dayT. QUIN AULT 85 Paragraphs By Wayne Johnson The faculty: A group of nonentities who delay us a bit in our pursuit of everything except knowledge. Silence is golden, yet assemblies are called to encourage the students to relieve financial distress. Classes may come and classes may go, but individuals stay on forever, almost. School spirit: Ridiculing student non-support, then making frantic efforts to learn the success of various undertakings. The high school boy’s height of ambition is to commit an atrocity and then leave the room with that assumed expression of bravado they have seen others display. The “Keep Off the Grass” signs are as inconspicuous as the mentality of those who wilfully ignore them. School life: Many assignments, no studying, forged excuses, impossible alibis and unreasonable teachers. Those who sleep periodically never fail to awaken at three fifteen. Optimism: He isn’t turning out this year, so I’ll be able to make the team. We spend Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday getting over the freedom of the previous week-end, and we spend Friday looking forward to the next one. All the while that we are having the teacher “please repeat that question,” we are making desperate attempts at thinking. Correct this sentence: I think the teachers are so kind and consid- erate and good. By Elizabeth Beedon There are girls that are homely, And girls that are fair; There are girls with big black eyes, And girls with straight hair; There are girls that are loving, And girls that are sad, But the girls I like best, Are the girls that are glad. There are girls that are quiet, And girls that axe loud; There are girls that are humble, And girls that are proud; There are girls that are smiling. And girls that are tearful; But the gii'ls I like best, Are the girls that are cheerful. 86 QUIN AULT A Little Dream cBy Loraine Cauthorn One day a little dream was born, Was born of a glance and a smile And I was afraid and hid my eyes, But I knew it was there all the while. One day a little dream died. And I buried it deep without a tear, But I sang a dirge as I dug the grave For my dream had become so dear. I sing a dirge for my dear, dear dream. It lived, like a flower, for a day; I’m glad I dreamed it, glad it was sweet; It was born to pass away. L3he Bach cJfumber By CNellie cDad is On a time-worn bench an old man sat His clothing tattered, long-worn his hat, A magazine dated nineteen three Lay at his side as battered as he. And yet who knows, his life’s pages Of romance may have read one day. And now the world has not a care For the old back number sitting there. A Story of Long A o By Beatrice Jewell Long ago they walked together. Silently, side by side. Each thought his thoughts In silent content, Each dreamed his dreams As onward he went. Alt ho ’twas bliss to the fullest extent. Enjoy it now, truly they can’t For the beetle got hungry and ate the ant. QUIN AULT 87 The Open Road I lie, The open road before me stretches. Above me The little green leaves Softly playing In the spring time swaying, As the wind her pattern weaves. Before me A pleasure road To the hidden mists, to the starry plains, Where the moon, dream-loving wanes, Lulling the dreamer on the dream of the open road. I lie, A dreamer, dreaming the dream of the open road. Eleanor Wri ht Twas CJ Cot So Long, Ago By Luman CAldrich I guess — ”Twas not so many years ago That we as girls and boys Entered with a tread so soft We made not any noise. It seemed — There were giggles and sly snickers Many notes shot ’crost the aisle. There were questions—ask our teachers Well now—they make us smile. We knew — There were things for us to conquer Doors to enter without keys Yet I guess we did not falter Though we didn’t feel at ease. But — Now our softened tread has left us The keys are ours to keep Not a door now bars our passage As we leave—the world to meet. 9__ Hush ! Now let’s go gently Pause one moment—bow your head, Don’t forget—hold dear old Weatherwax In memory—Yes—in memory I said. 88 QUIN AULT Co m m encement The Pacific Northwest was the central theme carried out by the graduating class in its Commencement exercises held June 10 at the Grand theatre. The student speakers chose subjects dealing with the history and resources of this region. The music was in accordance with the same idea. Songs were taken from the opera “Narcissa” written by Mary Carr Moore and Sarah Pratt Carr in honor of Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, Northwest missionaries. The missionary passion of Doctor Whitman is the theme of the opera, with patriotism as a second motive scarcely less powerful; the two being combined in the opera as they were in his character, and showing almost as strongly in Narcissa, his wife. Marjorie Douglass gave the synopsis of the opera. Ruth Hunter, Marjorie Douglass, Charlotte Allen’, Caroline Hodges and Fred Graf interpreted various roles. The rest of the program planned was: Processional march Invocation Salutatorian address “The Beauties of the Olympics” Violin solo “Legends and Traditions of the Northwest” Reading Valedictorian address Honor pin awards Presentation of the Sonny Sargent trophy Awarding of Weatherwax prizes Awarding of diplomas Benediction Clarence Winberg Reverend R.

WEATHERWAX TROPHIES Weatherwax is noted for its collection of banners, pennants, cups and oddities. The athletic banners take up most of the space on the wall of the main hall above the trophy case, their blue and gold color schemes ranging from a royal purple to a burnt orange. The Shakespeare emblems occupy the space left. The trophy case is filled with loving cups. It was not until recently that cups have been given for that, but of late it has rapidly developed into one of the most popular sports. The oddities of the school can be found wandering around the hall most any part of the day. ASSEMBLIES AND STUDY HALLS Assemblies and study halls together comprise the recreation periods of the day. Each student has from none to seven sessions, this allowing him or her as the case may be, or both, as the case usually is, to relieve their minds of the mental strain. There are at least two assemblies a week more or less. The majority of these are held to give the football players a chance to say they have nothing to say and the girls a chance to pick their sweaters. FIRE DRILL When the fire siren sounds in the hall, the students in classes and those not, immediately rush to the door, form orderly lines of twos, and march rapidly down the stairs and out of the building. As soon as the building has been emptied of everybody but the faculty, the bell rings and the students return as fast as possible to class. The students do not converse during the fire drills. STUDENT PUBLICATIONS The O. B., Old Bunk, published by-weakly, is edited by Myrtle Danielson and Miss Finley’s seventh period class (this is called a journalism class). The papers are distributed the seventh period every other Wednesday. The teachers all set aside the last half of these periods for the reading of the O. B. The Quinault has heretofore been the school annual. SENIOR TALKS Every year a number of speakers are asked to speak to the senior class. (This does not include representatives from our various colleges. Hall trying to run something else QUIN AULT 91 They come without asking). The talks given are interesting, the speakers are always excellent talkers, and the seniors always profit greatly from these addresses. (They usually manage to get at least five physics problems done). ATTENDANCE All students are required to attend school when they are not absent. Absence excuses must be presented to the office when a student returns to school. To encourage compliance with this ruling, the Young Men’s Commercial club offers a prize every year to the students having the greatest number of original excuses. Special permits are granted when a student brings an excuse from home signed by a parent or with a parent’s name signed to it. Those students who can acquire more than eighty demerits a semester are given permanent excuses. TARDINESS There have been no cases of tardiness since the merit system went into effect. GRADING SYSTEM The grading system now in use in Weatherwax is that of employing the grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and F, 1 is the highest standard. Students receiving all grades above 1 and 2 are permitted to wear honor pins which are usually purchased two months before school is out. All students receiving F’s are flunked and required to take the course again the next year. (Note—This does not apply to seniors who are on the football team). Students are graded on what the teachers think they can do, and in some cases, on what they do. GENERAL INFORMATION See Margaret Delanty. COURSE OF STUDY All studies are a matter of course. Studies are now included in the curriculum because after eight years Harry McKeever discovered that enough floating credits could not be collected to graduate. Since this is a subject that interests so few, no more space was devoted to it. ORGANIZATIONS The Y. M. C. C. (You May Callus Children) is a club—For Men Only. The accomplishments of the lawn committee are to be blamed on this organization. The Counsel of Girls is most interesting. You can easily distinguish the girls who are members of this club, they all wear middies. The Booster club is noted for its large attendance at all athletic games. Also it helped the Girls Rooter club put on an assembly at Thanksgiving and a No-Date dance in April. The club spends the first semester giving out sweaters to members and the other half of the year trying to get them back. The Girls’ Rooters club was organized to further school spirit and Excuse Me. 92 QUIN AULT strive toward unified yelling at the games. They now sell cream puffs, give presents to the school, usher at the games and wear navy blue sweaters at all games. The language clubs and the dramatic clubs also make good excuses to get out at nights. LUNCHEONS AND HAND OUTS Miss Foley’s advanced cooking class gives a number of luncheons every year. An annual attempt is made to poison the faculty; the football boys are entertained in hopes that a few sweaters will be gained; the 0. B. staff is invited to eat and are fed according to the publicity they have given the class during the year; and anyone else Miss Foley thinks might have manners enough to answer an invitation is usually invited to a luncheon sometime before school is out. Handouts is the term applied to the food Don Spoon and Bill Koski have managed to get from the kitchen this year.

QUIN AULT 99 Release cBy Optomistic Ole The last act of the Hi Jinx was a humdinger. The articulation was perfect. The resonance, carry, and stress put upon the swear words completely carried away the audience. It made them feel at home. Never before has a group of high school students put on such a play. Lots of high schools wouldn’t let ’em. Stanley Smith, playing “Lefty,” scored. I don’t know what kind of a game they play but anyway Stan scored. It must have been some sort of a flipping game. The husky, brawling, raw, blood curdling, icy, resonant voice of Sam Norin playing the part of Tarpey, the warden, woke up the audience in time for the last act—Release. Paul Kleist. playing Bull O’Malley, should have been put in for murder. He choked Smith to death. I know lots of women who say Smith’s dead. Walt Carl, as Rabbit, displayed the latest methods of flipping coins and smoking cigarettes. Ed Barker as Kid, was a great contrast to the rest of the characters. The most tense part of the show was the part when Rabbit said, “Tarpey’ll be along for his four bits, now.” The audience really cried. Just how they were going to get their supper without the “four bits” worried the audience. After the curtain went down everybody went home. Maybe. A Psalm of School By Jean Stewart Tell me not in mournful numbers, School is but an empty dream! For the teacher never slumbers, And things are not what they seem. School is hard! School is anguish! Oh, why must we cram so much. All our spirits seem to lanquish, And of course we get in dutch. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way, And our studies for tomorrow, Surely worry us today. School is long and Time is longer: But the teachers do not care, They just make our lessons harder And vacations very rare. Oh why then let Latin baffle, Or be worried o’er that French, Be not like dumb driven cattle, Sit not on the mourners’ bench. Trust no teacher howe’er pleasant, He will probably grade you low. Think—think only of the present, And forget what you don’t know. Lives of teachers all remind us, They have lost their youth sublime, May their lectures leave behind them Prints upon our minds in time. Prints that sometime in the future May come forth to light again. But our learning does not torture, Us who have so little aim. Let us then be up and doing. For our ignorance is great, Not achieving, not pursuing, In the end we’ll know our fate. 200 QUIN AULT Snappy Shots The first picture on the left is an illustration of two of a kind. Miss Ver-nie Foley, uppermost, is shown demonstrating to her girls the correct position in which the little finger should be held when one is dealing with crab meat. Melvin Hiller is pictured giving his farewell address to the school the day after the merit system was introduced. In the third picture Elmer Peterson has just been told that he has enough credits to graduate. It was just after this picture was taken that Elmer told the famous story about the Scotchman for the last time. The fourth picture has been titled “Pal of My Cradle Days.” Denton Fuller is shown demonstrating the well-known expression “don’t do anything you couldn’t do on a bicycle.” Sarky, as usual, is laughing at whatever is in front of her. Laurence is wondering how any man could hide behind a woman’s skirts. We know what Jawin’ and Ricey are getting such a kick out of, but we can’t print her name. We couldn’t get the janitor to move off the table in the hall so we brought him outside to have his picture taken. Decide for yourself whether the freaks in the last picture are stepping out, stepping high, or just kicking about something as usual. Printed by WELSH-RICHARDS CO.
