Our sailes be sette to ye foure winds and we do be headed straighte for yon porte of Golden Opportunities. How welle do we remeber ye daye we firste entered the goode shippe. Nay; not as timmide Freshmen withe uncertaine and shakie stepp, but as ambytious and promising Sophomores, for oure classe holds honorable distinction of being the firste classe to occupy the Junior high as Freshmen. Never have we bowed to the inglorious duties of the Freshmen. We did beginne highe schoole life withe a bang! At oure firste classe meeting we did elect the following officers: Warren Austin, president; Avis Marvin, vice-president; Georgia Roberts, secretarie; Merle Atkinson, treasurere and Robert Irish, board of control. The Sophomore Hoppe and the Sophomore Dramatic club were oure onlve accomplishments thatte yeare due to the closyng of schoole as a precautionary measure against the spreade of spinal meningitis. 1927—! Ah, that yeare we were but Juniors. For the goode of the classe we did elect for oure president, Aino Laukkanen; vice-president, Karl Karshner; secretarie, Ethel Sargent; treasurere, Archie Murray, and board of control, Ed Hawkins. Oure firste social efforte of the yeare was the barn dance helde in the George B. Miller gym. If you do doubte its success you needs but aske anyone who was but there. Then we did edit the Junior edition of “The Ocean Breeze.” Quite a “worldye affaire.” Historically speaking, oure Junior assemblye was a riot—and long wrill we remember the “Highe-lights of Modern Historie.” But of course oure biggeste hitte of the season was oure Junior Promme helde in the Elks’ Temple upon May 6. This event did eclipse alle previous prommes bothe as to the decorations and to attendance. Drop anchore! The officers we did elect were president, Neil Cams; secretarie; Dorothy Noll; treasurer, Wayne Johnson; board of control, Merle Atkinson. Again we did plann anothere Junior-Senior barn dance even hickier than the laste one. Then we did manage a reallie entertain- 10 QUIN AULT ing Senior Classe night at the D R Theatre which was appreciated nott onlye bye the students of the schoole but bye all who were fortunate enough to attende. We did forget the bleakness of the monthe of Marche by participating in ye entieinge, enchantinge Senior Balle helde in the Elks’ Temple. Very gay were the senoritas and dashing dons who attended. Happie and snappie were we on ye Senior Sneak day. Our individuality and originalitie were displayed on Dress-up daye and oure mental-itie shone forth at the assemblie given on that memorable daye. “White Collars,” oure Senior playe given April 5, was but another convincing proofe of oure class ability. To the literary, dramatic and athletic fields we did contribute many. We, ye crewe of 1928, deeply regrette leaving Weatherwax high, but thatte regrette is overshadowed by the joy in knowing that we have done all in oure powere to uphold and maintaine the high standards of oure schoole. Prophecy of Ye Class of 1928 By cALar aret Levi It was a stormy day in January of the year 2023. Ominous dark clouds covered the sky and howling winds tossed the heaving waters of the Pacific to and fro in a most threatening fashion. Few boats sailed o’er the main; the most impressive vessel on the high seas was a large and sturdy craft bearing the bold emblem of a pirate ship. Aboard this massive skiff was a pitiful aspect of woe; the noble captain was seasick! Agonized groans of pain came out of his cabin; worried flunkies hurried to and fro on various errands of mercy; several vicious looking pirates were sprawled on the deck weeping bitterly and wiping their tears upon their blood-stained garments. Suddenly the moans of the sick captain ceased and a deadly quiet broken only by the fiercely beating waves seemed to fill the atmosphere. The group of pirates stiffled their sobs and gulps, and tip-toed to the entrance of the captain’s cabin. There a swarthy iooking man with a deep rich voice was reading from a scroll. He paused and said in an explanatory tone to the gathered group, “I just found this here scroll an’ the master is so pleased with it that he went and forgot he ever wuz seasick! It’s an old record left by the master’s great-grandpa, Cap’n Neil Ulysses Cams I, the feller who started this pirate ship way back in 1935. You know, I’ve heerd lotsa stories about that chap; they say he wuz the jolliest old feller-” But this reminiscence was interrupted by the feeble and impatient voice of Captain Neil Ulysses Cams III, who commanded, “Read me that document and read it quick, before 1 brain yuh, worm.” And so the fellow read in the following manner from the scroll: “February 29, 1940. — Up betimes, and dydde have a verrie enormous day, as dydde attack and plunder an rival ship run by Skipper Oliver Kelly, an former classmate of myne in ye institution of learning. I dydde consent to spare the life of this man when he dydde offer to tell me what has happened to all ye other classmates who completed theyre education in ye yeer 1928. Kelly dydde inform me that Bob Weatherwax was head cook aboard nis vessel, and so I immediately sent word to have Bob’s life spared as well. QUIN AULT 11 Kelly sed that Warren Austin had accumulated a vast fortune by operating a tourist camp and soda fountain in ye middle of yon Sahara Desert, buzy DeVore, Jean Stewart, Ellen Mahonen, Laura Lehtinen and Ruth Patterson dydde have their names in Broadway’s bright lights as ye famous Apple Blossom Chorus Girls. “Why Ice Wagons Are Not Needed in the North Pole” was ye title of a verrie popular book by Dwight Morris, illustrated by Louise Helbig and Ellen Nordman. Erma Brower and Bill Waara dydde go into the truck business together immediately after ye senior play. An private school for ye select young ladies specializing in the development of charm is beying conducted by Pat Jacobson. A verrie remarkable faculty instructs the wenches; Melvin Klufton teaches Ye Art of Conversation; Ed Hawkins is ye basketball coach; Oran Turner teaches archery, fencing and horseback riding; Robert Lee teaches ye wenches how to talk by use of the eyes; and Harold Lightfoot is director of aesthetic dancing. Myrtle Portier dydde just return from Paris where she completed an course in beauty culture. She is now an licensed lady-barber. Merle Atkinson and Leonard Nccula. gained fabulous wealth by running a matrimonial agency at Moclips. Some of the well known matches they made were between Lillian Greer and Russell Eddy, Kate Scure and Harry Osgood, Merle Nielsen and Roderick McKean, and Bessie Parks and Harold Pearson. Dr. Robert Irish, M. D., has helped many poor victims by his latest book “Adenoids: What To Do For Them and How.” Bernard Kaufman has undertaken the mammoth task of constructing a concrete bridge over the Amazon. After seriously considering the matter for seven years, Archie Murray and Dorothy Dutton took the vital step and eloped. Geraldine Champ has charge of the juvenile department of the Congressional Library and holds a story hour every Saturday morning. By following the instructions in the Hall-DeRosia book on “How to Be Popular in Twelve Lessons,” Hank Murphy, Madeline Butz, Mildred Abrams. Margaret Sou'e and Arvo Williams are sed to have gained overnight fame with their brilliant wits and pleasing personalities. Ethel Sargent, Beth Schaaf, Bernardine Wiseman and Margaret Preble, having become disillusioned with it all, decided to live a life without men and turned to the comforting occupation of farming. These Wimmen, after much experimentation, succeeded in persuading banana trees to bloom on the former sand dunes of Westport and have now made this section seem almost like a tropical paradise. Taynton Thayer is now a recording artist of popular songs for the Romeo Record Co. Devouring 37 pies in rapid succession, Aino Laukkanen won the international pie-eating contest at the Olympic Games by making a non-stop record. Verrie proud is ye classe of the Misses Ruth Atkinson, Dolores Thoke, Dorothy Lee, and Catherine Byard. These wenches dydde form a corporation and dydde enter into an new industry, the making of banana shortcakes in Pago Pago, Samoa. Thousands of tourists come annually to visit the huge plant where the manufacturing takes place. The slogan of the concern is “We Want Samoa.” Florence Glaser, Ethel Walls, Irwin Galbraith and Clinton Hol-linger have started a nation-wide movement for bigger and better chemistry books for high school students. Howard Anderson is still trying to find out if composition of a Dewdrop is two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen. Juanita Slaughter has won fame throughout the country by her dramatic readings. Following their oratorical inclinations, Wayne John- 12 QUIN AULT son and Avis Marvin have become rival radio announcers over Station SOAP. Helen Fredenburg, Grace Hamilton, Lorraine Giffin, Don Hall, Wilbur Cyrus, and Bob LeRoy felt the call of the Wild and started on a perilous journey to introduce the up-to-date dish of apple cause to the inhabitants of the Fiji Islands. It is sed that Karl Karshner and Bud Davenport made a small fortune by selling the copyright of their photographs to replace the picture of the Smith Brothers on cough drop boxes. Hilma Johnson, Dorothy Noll, and Betty Hentley, leading phycho-analyticianists, have discovered the reason why. Alan Crammatte, editor of the Ocosta Gazette, dydde feature this month a humor column written by the well known satirists, George Savage and Ed Evanson. Alberta Allen, Helen Studebaker, Fern Ross, Helen Wylie, Gweneth Chamberlain, Lucille Shoun, Carolyn Hopkins, Lila Jean Robinson, and Myrtle Gustafson, are all enthusiastic examples of the ability of any woman to have both an marriage and an carreer.............” At this point, even tho ye scroll was only half finished, the boatswain coughed surreptitiously. As he was about to continue, a shrill whistle resounded throughout the pirate vessel. “Stir your stumps, ye lazy rat,” wheezed the bedridden commander. “Doncha know that’s a Fire Drill?” And groaning with agony, Captain Neil Ulysses Cams III of the pirate ship Mary Anne turned to his nurse and mumbled innarticulately, “Quick! I’ve had a relapse!” Ye Class Will By cA4ay G. Hall and Warren CAustin W’E, the class of 1928, the most brilliant, versatile, oratorical, literary, athletic, dramatical and peppiest class ever to grace the annals of Weath-erwax history, finding the weather favorable; being in sound body and mind; having complete control of our senses and realizing that we must bequeathe something of value to the needy; do hereby make and publish out last testament, to-wit: To the Juniors we leave the school, knowing that it is now on its way to the dogs.

Somtimes the heavy clouds Break open And I see below me Valleys green, With sun’s rays Shining on them. I see, too. The little hillocks That I scrambled o’er Before I came to this one. This hill is somewhat higher. There is fog about it circling, But the top, where I am standing Is so fair! It catches all the sun’s beams; And the breeze that plays up here Smells sweeter. It almost makes one Wish to stay But I can see more mountains Still, that I must climb. They’re steeper too. But I am not afraid, For after I have climbed them all I’ll perch upon the highest one And then I’ll rest. QUIN AULT 29 Ye Junior Pirates 30 QUIN AULT Jaskar Estes Beedon McKay Ye Prisoner's Song By cATargaret Fleming Oh, that fortunate day when a young vivacious pirate crew captured me and took my name as their own. That esteemed title — Juniors. The first days of my imprisonment the ruffians treated me as a captive, yet they feared me and were uncomprehensive of my wants. But soon they understood and loved and cherished me as their own. They defended and guarded me in all battles, both bloody and loquacious. After the seas had subsided, the crew decided that they must have a captain. The chief mariner of this crew must be one whose voice would shake the heavens and whose word would be law. For this honor they chose William Jaskar. In case he should walk the plank, Wesley Estes was picked to fill his place. These pirates believed in women’s rights for they voted Elizabeth Beedon to keep the log. Since this was a robber crew, thejT needed an able-bodied financier to hoard the pieces of eight. A flaming young sailor, George McKay, they took for this. George Keeley, because of his persuasive ways was chosen to consult with the big seven. Under their able guidance the voyage was made very pleasant for the entire crew. Not only were they successful in their daily toils but also in social events. Dancing is a rather unique form of entertainment for pirates, but this crew celebrated with three such festivities. The first of these given with another crew was just a big reunion. The seafarers dressed in old clothes and everyone had a hilarious time. After battling many storms the pirates sponsored a no-date hop given in the galley of the ship. Toward the end of their voyage they honored the elders with a real naval ball, a dance at which mariners were so appropriate. This was the Junior Prom. Once they anchored for a spell and entertained the gang with a real praiseworthy assembly which renewed their vigor for the remainder of the trip. Ability, life and pep made a true appearance here. Just as a gentle wind helps the sail boat and makes the voyage possible, so did the assistance of Miss Esther Rohrer help our ship on its voyage over the sea. QUIN AULT 31 Liffick Renhard Maxwell Tuttle Ye Green Gobs By Lois Sims In the days when piracy flourished the Sophomores were the most bloodthirsty freebooters of the seas. They had as their captain the “Black Pirate,” Glenn Liffick, and “Bluebeard,” Bertil Renhard, who was to take his place if by chance he should be slaughtered. Sarah Maxwell kept the log book while villianous Howard Tuttle buried and reburied the treasure chest in which he locked the tribute demanded from each of the jovial mates and the booty. Robert Harvey represented the Black Pirates in the murderous buccaneer conferences. As Ina-Ree Watkins, captured by the toughest pirates that ever slit a throat or scuttled a ship, never failed them after becoming one of them, the hearties owed her all their allegiance. Their most bloodthirsty robbery on the high seas was the Sophomore Hop after which all enjoyed the plunder of the attacked. After being stranded in a perilous calm the hearties gave a successful digging up of the treasure chest of ability after which followed the pleasure of slitting throats at a general meeting of pirates of the Weatherwax Main. Most curious indeed, these corsairs had extremely high intelligence though they always delighted in butchering those who climbed aboard the pirate craft and ventured to clean the seas of these bloodthirsty freebooters. Their recklessness and cruelty were exhibited to the crew by 20 who had dramatic blood in them while the captured nobility who later became buccaneers, entered the wise society. All foreign language clubs were represented that they might learn to speak the tongue of countries they should visit. The brawniest of the lot cheered their hearties with athletic sports thus gaining greater strength to capture galleons single-handedly. Some learned the art of singing and pounding out the pirate chants. Allan Grant was chosen to lead the hearties in their chants and be1-lowing yells with which the Sophomores stirred the dead. They shouted this yell till “their bones were lying where the dead men go.” Hail, rain, sleet, snow! 1 9 3 0 ! Yea, Sophomores! 32 QUIN AULT Ye Green Gobs QUIN AULT 33 CACTIVIT1ES 34 QUIN AULT Waara Levi Hawkins Wiseman Laukkanen Harvey Keeley Atkinson Ye Stewdent Body cBy cA4ar aret Levi Ye parchment scroll found in yon noble chest of valued papers contain the information that 1927-1928 was considered a record year for Weatherwax high school. Ye fellow stewdents dydde exhibit an unusual lust after doing things, the result being that much was accomplished. Right proud are ye stewdents of the beautiful new and impressive auditorium which stands in yonder lane. This worthy edifice commands the admiration of all other crews on the high seas. Another glorious bit of loot is the comely stolid bleacher section constructed at that plot of land whereon ye heroes combat to match their strength and brawn in football. And ye men of Weatherwax were found to be most skilled of all in this art! At a special election held in January, William Waara and Margaret Levi were chosen to fill respectively the places of Captain Aino Laukkanen and First Mate Neil Cams, the former having resigned because he graduated at the end of the first semester, the latter having resigned because he held another major office aboard ship. Through calm and storm the captain and first mate were assisted in steering yon sturdy craft by Bernardine Wiseman, recorder; Ed Hawkins, collector of booty; Merle Atkinson, George Keeley and Bob Harvey, respective representatives from the first, second and third decks; Principal R. R. Balkema, and Superintendent George B. Miller. QUIN AULT 35 Lima Beans By Lois Sims Lima Beans! Ah, yes! Not navy beans, baked beans, string beans, wax beans, soy beans, frijole beans—only Lima Beans would satisfy three peculiar pirates. Great was the celebration emphasizing the change from the royal baked bean, which had so capably furnished the corsairs’ energy, to the Lima Bean. Ye old pirate journal reported this particular occasion, called “Lima Beans,’’ as faithfully performed and with a desired result. “On the eve of the opening of ye new plank room, a fantastique comedye, ‘Lima Beans’, was presented withe bold success. Appealing to all freebooters, this dram-atique piece of art was entered in a one-act playe contest att Olympia on ye 3rd of February. ‘Lima Beans,’ outstanding in excellence, was declared the most all-around pyratical production given. Mr. B. W. James, director of ye School of the Theatre of the Cornish School att Seattle, suggested ye submission of pictures of the scenes, including the set and actors in costume, to ye Theatre Arts Monthly, ye outstanding magazine of the drama in Americka. This was done.” “Ye all remember ‘Lima Beans,’ that veering fantasie enacted by the three voracious corsairs who proposed to vary the food menu: Gertrude Pfund, Robert Irish, Sam Norin.” “Who ever comes to ye perusal of this take this signal: If you or aney whome you may informe are desirous to know, this celebration—in scenery, costume, and display—did procure infinite clamors Exceeding the Desires of the Hungry and the Resolute.” The original model of the scenery made by Jerome Andrews was adapted by Ben Weatherwax and made by Sam Norin, Roxa Owens and Barbara Owens. The crew showed the careful work and constant coaching of Miss Minnie Moore McDowell, the dramatic director of the performance. Tjhe Winner Sam, Gertrude and Bob. 36 QUIN AULT ‘TTie Cruise of the Competent Old Gang By Frances Hopkins The Competent Old Gang, pirate ship, is under sail with a full crew of Amazons. Our bold and fearless captain, Ethel Sargent, leads in our quest for the “Golden Fleece.” Our ferocious first mate, Beth Schaaf, who knows no short length in anything, commands the helm in the absence of our captain. Second mate Ursula Ovitt, who records our wild escapades in the log book, will, we are positive, live to be hung by the neck for her misdeeds. Fern Ross, keeper of the treasure chest, is a tall and mighty sailor who stands guard with crossed daggers in her teeth. Held in the lazaretto under strong guard is Miss Grace Sharp, first-class stowaway. The hunt for the “Golden Fleece” began nine months ago. Since then many ships have fallen prey to our invincible crew. Early in our cruise the look-out sighted a small fishing-smack. Expecting to get a good feed of fish we plundered the boat. Much to our chagrin we found only a few baskets of provisions. These being beneath the notice of such blood-thirsty pirates, we threw them overboard. They floated ashore, and were gathered in by more appreciative people for Thanksgiving dinners. Long days passed. The sky and sea seemed to be empty of life. Then one bright day when the sea was calm we sighted a sailing vessel headed for the Orient. Our slim, beautiful craft swooped down on it, but again we were disappointed, finding only some trinkets for American children in the Far East. Without more ado we took them and divided them amongst ourselves. A few of the toys were given to some small children stranded on the Orthopedic Isles. Then came the season of storms. Our beautiful ship was swept py gales, and soon looked very decrepit with her torn sails and barnacle covered sides. During a short period of fine weather we came up to a dismasted man-o’-war. We captured it after a short battle taking many comely captives. Captain Sargent ordered the men put in chains. At first they were recalcitrant but a week on a diet of bread and water subdued them. From very ferocious young men they became extremely entertaining, and we enjoyed ourselves on many a moonlight night, dancing with these hardy sailors cn the short of the island. Our captives enjoyed the Leap Year dance best of all, for on that night we gave them their first real meal since their capture. On May 1 the Amazons took charge of the school, wearing crisp gingham costumes to advertise their day. A dance around the May-pole was the climax of their celebration. The next week they entertained their mothers with a big banquet. On June eleventh we arrived at our home port on Grays Harbor. We have had unusual experiences, and have acquired some wisdom, although we are not much richer in gold and plunder. Some think we have not achieved that for which we roamed the turblent sea of knowledge, while others say we have captured and plucked the “Golden Fleece.” QUIN AULT 37 Sargent Schaaf Ovitt Ross Carl Chamberlain Miss Sharp Abrams Hall Hamilton Byard Glaser Helbig Early in the fall Captain Sargent appointed the standing committees whose chairmen, with the officers and the girls’ adviser, formed the cabinet.

The destination was June Harbor. Bob Irish was another pilot who ably filled Skipper Karshner’s shoe when the latter was busy elsewhere. Ade Jaskar was appointed to write up the adventure’s procedure, and William Waara to collect the journey’s fare. When Point January was reached Waara was promoted to the captainship of the flag ship, Weatherwax. Jaskar then promptly assumed Waara’s former duties, till the voyage’s end. As fair breezes blew over the ship she gradually gained in momentum. Arriving at a new port each day the Honorable George Keeley and his assistants were ordered to keep the decks of the flag ship, Weather-wax, in neat condition by gathering bits of paper and rubbish here and there. The boys in charge of this committee under Hon. Keeley were: Russell Eddy, Monday; Jack Darragh, Tuesday; Jack Canterbury, Wednesday ; Don Murphy, Thursday; and Ed Cyrus, Friday. Another outstanding highlight of the voyage was the installing of guards in the lower deck of the Weatherwax to insure the safety of the salts’ possessions while sailing on the high seas of knowledge. These guards, who served on duty for one hour each day, were: Merle Atkinson, Fred Adams, Leonard Dombroski, William Jaskar, and Arthur Hanson. Without their permission no one was allowed to visit his compartment during the hours of study. QUIN AULT 39 Prior to the conflict with the Olympia Bears the pepsters also put the Gridiron Inlet in first-class shape by clear ng the debris and repairing the fence. Some of its other members operated the score board enabling the fans to follow the progress of the struggle more easily. Again the pepsters came to the rescue by leading the rallying students safely through the crowded streets to the stake where John Hoquiam met his death. Directly after this event the Federation entertained with a program in the newly opened auditorium followed by a dance in the YVeatherwax gym with Bob Harvey’s orchestra playing the airs. The buccaneers logged on knot after knot, and, as an added feature, there were but few restrictions as to whom should become a member. Any lad of the Weatherwax, upon payment of his fare, was immediately registered as a tar and was allowed to share in the booty. The pirateers numbered 125 strong. Because they derived a huge booty through the Hi Jinx they donated the auditorium of the Weatherwax a spot-light along with necessary equipment so that the individuals of the programs could be seen better and enjoyed much more. This was the salts’ most notable gift of the voyage. The ship again lifted anchor and the ports were passed one by one until June Harbor was reached. Here the gang parted—tearfully, fcr they could not help but recall many of the happy remembrances. The passengers owe much of their safety to the able-bodied engineer, G. M. Hall, who weathered them through many hardships and strifes. Occasionally John Mashin shoveled in a little coal in order to give the engineer enough steam to proceed. Also Engineer Balkema of the Weatherwax ship lent his assistance in times of distress. Among the passengers there were also some unusually peppy sailors. When the growling Bobcat was on its wray to Championship Bay the pepsters were asked to keep the onlookers at a fair distance in order to give the snarling Bobcat ample room when conflicting with Bears and Grizzlies that also abounded in Gridiron Inlet. These pepsters were: Delbert Eddy, Wayne Johnson, Dwight Morris, Wa' frid Hanson, Edwin Nelson, Russell Eddy, Arthur Harkonen, Richard Harkonen, Richard Sims, Howard Tuttle, Ade Jaskar, William Desmond, Irwin Galbraith, Fred Adams, Nicholas Hageage and Tommy Edwards. Another trip is being contemplated in Steamer 1929. cUhe (Pepsters 40 QUIN AULT Ye Honor Society” By Hilma Johnson “Birds of a feather flock together”—yeah, ’tis even true of pirates. The exceptionally wise ones of Weatherwax grouped together, calling themselves the Honor Society. They swaggered about, looked wise, and bossed the rest of the buccaneers. However, they were really deserving of the respect which was accorded them, for their brains hatched the schemes which made the ship coffers so heavy. It was decided to have one of the brainiest, Bernardine Wiseman, head this select group. During the course of the trip it was found that she already held as many positions as was allowed so Florence Glaser took her p.'ace. Bertil Renhard fiendishly hoarded the sheckels while Kathryn West made a record of the doings so that the Honor Society might go down in pirate history. Margaret Fleming was appointed to take the helm in case the leader should be disabled. To distinguish themselves from the rest of the mariners the wise ones decked themselves with unique pins, awarded according to the number of points won. Those who had earned sixteen scholarship points wore one-bar pins, those who had thirty-two scholarship points and two activity points wore two-bar pins, those who had forty-eight scholarship points and tour activity points wore torches, and those who had forty nine scholarship points and six activity points kept their torches permanently. The society, as the name implies, is more an honor organization than a social one, the club coming onto the deck only a few times each year. At an assembly held in the spring, B. F. Hovies, the adviser, gave an interesting talk to the crew on the origin of the society and of the organization of other ships. The sophomore pirateers who wear the one-bar pin are: Dorothy Andrijasevich, Frances Berlin, Vera Bogle, Mary Cameron, Evelyn Cherry, Bill Douglas, Thomas Edwards, Theresa Gauntlett, Walfrid Hanson, Lucille Hall, Elaine Hansell, Haldis Hegg, Frances Laihola, Berwin Hulbert, Eleanor Hendrickson, Ruddick Lawrence, Sarah Maxwell, Leland Moody, Edwin Nelson, Arvo Niemi, Gladys Phillips, Oiva Ray, Bertil Renhard, Sylvia Rautio, Helbe Salo, Lois Sims, Helen Thomas, Howard Tuttle, Sophia Walkama, and Gladys Williams. The juniors winning the two-bar pin are: Dorothy Cantwell, Wesley Estes, Margaret Fleming, Mitchell Gasparovich, Ade Jaskar, William Jas-kar, Dorothy Nielsen, Lilie Palmroth, Richard Sims, Nora Jean Stewart, Ruth Temple, Edith Talso, Barbara Tucker, Phydelma Watson, Kathryn West, Eleanor Wright. The following received the highest award, the torch: Warren Austin, Dorothy Daneker, Florence Glaser, May Hall, Hilma Johnson, Wayne Johnson, Taimi Lassila, Aile Leaf, Avis Marvin, Ellen Nordman, Fern Ross, Ethel Walls, William Waara, and Bernardine Wiseman. The seniors who won their torches permanently were presented them at the commencement exercises held at the end of the year in the ship’s auditorium. Jean McMurray had the honor of being the only post-graduate eligible to membership in the society.

A year of unusual activity was experienced by this dramatic organization. Ye members are justly swelled with pride because of the fact that the Hi D Club presented the first three-act play in yon spacious new porel auditorium. Ye crewe dydde laugh and chortle so heartiiy that the ship rocked to and fro when ye young actors dydde give this play entitled “Green Stockings.” Roles were enacted by Dorothy Noll and Avis Marvin as Madge and Evelyn; Florence Glaser as Phyllis; May Hall as Aunt Ida; Margaret Levi as Celia Faraday, ye jolly heroine; Dwight Morris as Mr. Faraday; Taynton Thayer as Bobby Tarver; Sam Norin as Admiral Grice; Dick Sims as Henry Steele; Bob LeRoy as Jim Raleigh; and George Savage as Colonel “Wobbles” Smith, ye gallant hero. In January it was announced on board ship that three one-act plays were to be given in yon auditorium. As its contribution to the program, the Hi D Club presented “Station YYYY,” an oh-so-very-clever story of what a determined boy, a stern papa and a radio can do. Ursula Ovitt, Kathryn West, Ruth Temple, Beatrice Preble, Burdette Miller, Neil Cams, Henry Mumaw, and Clinton Hollinger showed their ability in this pei’formance. Throughout the year bi-weekly meetings were held at which short plays were read and discussions held. Members other than those taking-part in any of aforementioned productions were: Erma Brower, Dorothy Cantwell, June Marshall, Ellen Nordman, Beth Schaaf, Nora Jean Stewart, Warren Austin, Bill Douglas, and Harry Jennings. Mr. Hovies proved a competent club adviser and director. QUIN AULT 45 Sophomore Playmahers By Lois Sims Hi, ho, the merrio! We’re on the boundless sea. For slashing sails and scuttling ships No mates more skilled than we! That murderous crew known over the Weatherwax Main as the Sophomore Playmakers consisted of twenty freebooters who had been saved from walking the slippery plank. “Few but mighty” these buccaneers became the terror to un-dramatic ability. At their first conference these hearties chose Ruddick Lawrence for their captain; Lois Sims, the warship’s lieutenant; Hazel Carl, keeper of the log-book of the most blood thirsty adventures; Richard Nichols, the villainous corsair who presided over the burial of treasure chests. Having manned their boats, this crew of twenty cruised the sea, making more successful rambles of piracy than ever before, exhibiting only exquisite pieces of villainy. One turtling sloop after another was grappled with until many skirmishes had been won. Some of the outstanding accomplishments of these lofty mariners, who, at intervals, exhibited their skill filling their coffers with great booty and incidentally inspiring other crews of Weatherwax Main were: The attacks on “The Man in the Bowler Hat,” one of the three one-act plays; the mystic “Howcanshe” of the Hi Jinx; and “Great Moments” of the Sophomore assembly. This pirate crew consisted of: Dewdrop Cheek, Theresa Gauntlett, Alys Ekstrand, Haldis Hegg, Gladys Phillips, Helen Hendry, Tally Bonham, Shirley Dean, Hazel Carl, Lois Sims, Ruddick Lawrence, Walfrid Hanson, Glen Liffick, Howard Tuttle, Richard Nichols, Edwin Nelson, Don Murphy, Jack Darragh, Charles Lane, Delos Crothers. 46 QUIN AULT Hi Jinx By Thydelma Watson Dear Dick Dead-Eye: Wei! I’ll be a lobster! D’ye know what the old Bobcat pirates went ’n done —ye don’t? It ain’t fer the likes o’ me te keep folks guessin’. But az sure ez I ever seed the bar down yonder they went ashore last March 1 an! put on a entertainment which wuz called the Hi Jinx er somethin’ t’ that effeckt which wuz laffed at and weeped over by a right smart more ’n ten hundred o’ them show-goin’ land-lubbers. And say you old star-sterrin’ sea dog mebbe ye think it warent putty o. k. (ye see I saw it too seein’ as how I didn’t have nothin’ better t’ do an’ it was did by them o’ me own callin’.) Not trustin’ to my pour memry I’ll get thet piece o’ paper sumbody give me when I went in an tell ye what it ’uz all about. Fust it sez Orchestry—that’s one o’ them things where two or three peeple git together n’ play moosic (sorta like when ol’ Joe an’ you an’ Long Tom used to play the fiddle an’ the accordian an’ flute all at oncet.) Well next comes “Fore,” a comedy. Now that wuz passin’ fair but mebbe I better explane the meaning o’ the title. Fore is what them there city fellers holler when they takes te chasin’ a little white ball around the grass with a stick (and mind yer eye I hed it fr’m one of ’em myself they calls thet gettin’ exercise!) Gulf I thinks they calls it. Hallelujah comes next an’ take it from me ’et was an eye witness you mist the time o’ yore life when ye didn’t see thet old deaconess sneeze ’er bonnet off evry minnit. Spoutin’ whales! That’s what I calls downrite good show-actin’! After thet a bunch o’ putty gals come out all rigged up in different paraphanalia an’ danced they ez was fitten to their costooms. Now, Dick, I know ez how you’ve heerd me allow time en agin how I never liked te hear he-men singin’ thet hed a high sorter woman-like voice but since I heerd thet Thayer lad render his’n I changed me mind. Now I sorter hanker arter heerin’ ’im again. Follerin’ the singin’ they hed Cohen’s Divorce which is wuthy of yer attenshun seein’ thet your’re gettin’ putty thick with that ’ar widder an’ some day it mite cum in ooseful fer ye te know' thet divorces means alimony money too (now o’ course I ain’t meanin’ to allow yer the stingy sort.) Nomber seven wuz when the Hour Strikes with appologies to the Bat an' other sech Mysteries. Why man they wuz so much mistery about who kilt old man Van Dyke when the clock striked that the pleece comishuner shot everybody an’ even got kilt hisself includin’ his fust mate. An’ afore one o’ the players fell he ups an’ blurts out thet the furnishins’ an’ things wuz borrored from Kaufman Leonard and Barker Furnishure Companies. I shore cum nigh onto laffin’ me head off over the hull performance from the fust gun shot to th’ last which I mite add kum from a unappreciative specktater sittin’ about the fifth row' back. Hallelujah More mistery wuz hed in the next act Howcanshe an’ thets what I’m still wonderin’. How could she a been so downrite deceivin’ to a self-respectin’ trustful audience. Why they tried te put a gal under a box an’ make her cum out’n the audience and well they did but durin’ the clappin’ they both showed themselfs. By both I mean what I sez — both o’ the twins! Well, old salt, they wound up the whole shebang with anuther orches-try 'at played wat they calls jazz an sounded more’n ever like old times te me. Hopin’ to see ye afore next year so’s we kin make arrangements to both go together to the next Hi Jinx. Yours while the sea’s salty, Captain Seawead o’ the good ship No Bottom. QUIN AULT 48 QUIN AULT In the (Palace CAli Baba’s (Thieves CAli Baba 1By Elizabeth Beedon Listen, all ye pirates, for I am eager to relate a story of the years long past when I was a brave and fearless young man. Many years ago, before the pirates became the cruel, sea-faring men that they now are, it was their custom each year to give an entertainment called an operetta, in which all the musical pirates participated. I remember well the last one that was presented, a thrilling tale of Ali Baba and forty evil thieves who attempted to ruin him and his family. On December the 9th the production was given, and under the able direction of our pirate music leader, Louis G. Wersen, it was well received by the audiences who came to see and to hear. In I his play, the part of Abdul Hassan, the comedian, was cleverly taken by Allan Grant, who, with his ready wit and egotism, continually at- T5he (Dancing Girls QUIN AULT 49 traded attention to himself and won all arguments. Elvia Harvey, in the role of his temperamental mother, Mrs. Cassim, was extremely entertaining. Rob Irish, as Ali Baba, did some clever acting; and Gertrude Johnson was surprisingly different from her usual self, as Fatima, his extremely sophisticated and lazy daughter. The other pirates who took part in the p’ay were: Joe Reynolds, the narrator; Melvin Hiller, the cruel robber captain, Shemeddin; Charles Lane, Harry Burpee, and Harry Jennings, his assistants; Elvia Harvey, the sister-in-law of Ali Baba, Mrs. Cassim; Allan Grant, her foster son, Abdul Hassan; Bob Harvey, the brother of Ali Baba, Cassim; Grace Davidson, the beautiful s'ave of Cassim, Morgiana; Bob LeRoy, the son of Ali Baba, Mustapha; Gertrude Johnson, the daughter of Ali Baba, Fatima; Avis Marvin, Mrs. Ali Baba; Walfrid Hanson, the Prince of Ispahan; and the robber and slave choruses composed of the regular glee clubs. An orchestra, selected from the large pirate instrumental ensemble, accompanied the entire operetta and played a few selections during the intermissions. Miss Ina-Ree Watkins and Miss Dagrun Eckrem directed the libretto and costuming. Ye Good Will By Hilma Johnson “Ah — they was a sweet crew, they was!” muttered the old sea dog reminisently as he prepared to tell me another of those stirring tales of the daring Weatherwax pirates, which always thrilled me so. “They liked a bit o’ fun, they did. An’ when it wasn’t fightin’ they was doin’ they could be friendly enough. Take the time they sent a bunch o’ the buccaneers to act up on a couple other ships — oh, they was sociable when they wanted to be, you may lay to that. An’ shiver me timbers, did they perk ’em up! “It were those boats Chehalis, Montesano, and Hoquiam that they went on — and they met one rousin’ cheer, they did. There was that Gertrude Johnson — she sung an’ all those gentlemen of fortune thought about home an’ the ole gals — she could warble, split my sides! An’ talk about twiddlin’ toes, Florence Babic had ’em all beat when she jigged a sailor thing, shiver me timbers. Then Margaret Levi rattled off a piece called “A Patron of Art.” That gal was as smart as paint, you may lay to that. She could act, by thunder. Dave Ross an’ Bill Douglas got up then an spun a yarn ’bout “Cohen’s Divorce.” By the powers that was funny! A bunch of the black guards, Oiva Ray, Bob Harvey, Sigurd Holland, Bid Jaskar, and Ogla Kantomen, hunted up some ole instruments — an’ split my sides they could play on ’em. Well — you can see that trip went off slippery. Miss Grace Sharp and G. M. Hall was to be thanked. They was sure smart at managin’ things, you may lay to that!” 50 QUIN AULT Ye cYYteet Winners 1.

QyVlusical Pirates By Elizabeth cBeedon We are the music makers, And we are the weavers of song; Doing our best in this way To help the world along. We are the music lovers, And we are the dreamers of dreams; Wandering by wild sea-breakers, And sitting by calm flowing streams. The group of musical pirates has enlarged and flourished during the year and under the able direction of the new music leader, Louis G. Wer-sen, many representatives have been sent to different parts of the country to entertain and to compete for honors. On the morning of October 26, a selected group from the advanced orchestra left for Longview where they played in a 125-piece organization composed of musical fo ks from all parts of the country which appeared in a concert before the Washington Educational Association. Immediately after the operetta, Mr. Wersen started preparing his many soloists and ensembles for the great music meet which was to be held at Centralia. At this contest, the musically inclined pirates from QUIN AULT 51 the many bands in the southwestern part of the country were in the habit of meeting each year to decide which was the most accomplished. As this was the thii'd time the contest had been held, there was much excitement and hard practicing throughout all the country. The Weatherwax band of pirates was the only one to enter each of the eighteen events. After the competition was over, it was found that Aberdeen had won two first places, eight seconds, and three thirds and had been awarded second place in the great meet. The band and Tayn-ton Thayer, boy’s solo voice, won first; Oiva Ray, violin; Gertrude Johnson, girl’s voice; the instrumental ensemble, Sigurd Holland, cello; Robert LeRoy, horn in F; Lauri Rimpila, cornet, Bob Carey, trombone; and the orchestra placed second. Those making third were: Bob Harvey, clarinet; Leo Elbert, flute; and the mixed chorus. Frances Berlin, piano soloist in the meet, Elizabeth Beedon and Olga Kantonen accompanied the various entries in the contest. The girls’ sextet and the instrumental ensemble entertained at the Rotary and Kiwanis luncheons. The band played at the important athletic games; and the orchestra and girls’ sextet appeared on the program at the Chamber of Commerce banquet. Music was furnished by the orchestra at the Hi Jinx, senior play and other dramatic productions. The mixed chorus was composed of: Top row, Frances Moore, Betty Smith, Esther Anderson, Louise Case, Marion Cady, Harry Burpee, Robert McCaw, Harry Lindquist. Second row: Edith Talso, Mary Snell, Gertrude Johnson, Elsie Rasmus, Oran Turner, Harry Osgood, Delos Crothers, Harry Jennings. Third row: Elvia Harvey, Grace Cline, Pauline Shoun, Irene Lund, Avis Marvin, Taynton Thayer, Joe Reynolds, Ed Stanley, Walter Gibson. Bottom row: Elizabeth Beedon, accompanist, Maizey Spencer, Ursula Ovitt, Martha Forsythe, Grace Davidson, Bob LeRoy, Bob Harvey, William Turska and Mr. Wersen. cAYIixed Chorus 52 QUIN AULT On May 3, the band, the advanced and the junior orchestras and the mixed glee club appeared in a concert before large crowds and gave an exhibition of their ability to render music successfully. Two performances were given, the orchestra featuring the “Tannhauser” overture and the mixed chorus singing the “American Ode” with the entire orchestra accompanying. On May 4 the entire musical pirate group appeared in a May music festival. The orchestra, band and smaller ensembles took important parts in the program the final number of which was the “American Ode” sung by the mixed chorus and accompanied by the full orchestra. The band, organized only one year, but the best in the southwestern part of the state, gave the first numbers on the program and was followed by the junior orchestra, which is used to train aspiring pirates so that they may enter the more advanced organization or the band; the regular Weatherwax orchestra and the mixed chorus. The proceeds of the concert were used to buy more sweaters for the band and for the music department. In the top row of the band are: Allan Grant, Harry Burpee, L. G. Wersen, Paul Phillips, Bob Carey, Howard Jacobs. Second row: John Lupton, Delmar McFeron, Clinton Levings, Chester Kalinowski, Bob Le-Roy, Delbert Eddy, Wesley Pistes. Third Row: Dick Scott, Bernard Kaufman, Earl Keller, Lloyd Rylander, George Fletcher, Leo Elbert, Rans-ford Wise, Leonard Nocula.

QUIN AULT 55 Ye Rooter Club By Margaret Levi Ye spirited wimmen pirates, about two hundred in all, dyd unite themselves into one byg organization known as Rooter Clubb. Said clubh dyd have for its inspiration and motto the one small worde—“pep”! And in all ye activities aboard ye nobel ship, whenever and wherever pep was needed, this clubb dyd supply it. In order to distinguish themselves from the other maidens on board, each of these enthusiastic lasses dyd wear a goodlie sweater of navie blue jersie ornamented with ye glorious insignia, an golden A. And furthermore, in order to distinguish ye pirates on ye bonny shyp “Weatherwax” from others on ye high seas, ye Rooter Clubb girls dyd furnish handsome caps of blue and gold to all ye crewe. These caps were worn at all jousts and contests, on holidays and gladsome occasions; and for members of ye nobel band ye Clubb dyd help purchase comely uniforms worn as sweaters. Ye crewe was most exceedinglie fond of holding athletic meets of various sorts with rival pirate bands. And in addition, it was ye custom that mennie amusements and entertainments be offered as ye diversions for ye lads and lasses. Accordinglie, the Rooter Clubbe dyd right gal-lantlie assume the responsibilitie of seeing that all ye spectators were comfortablie seated. This work was performed by ye Usher Squad, a verie worthie committee headed by Syster Myrtle Gustafson. Taking advantage of the fact that this was Ye Leap Yeare, yon Clubb dyd give an jollie dance for which event, each lass dyd nab herself one of ye right heartie crewe and escort hymn thither. ’Twas indeedie an mer-rie festival and a huge numbre of pirateers dyd tr.vpp thee light fantastic on board ye deck on this merrie occasion. And when ye tyme dyd come for these happie maides to leave ye goode olde vessel, they dyd presente a splendid gift unto ye beloved shypp in order that ye crews of future yeares would remember them respectfullie. Syster Ruth Atkinson dyd command ye Rooter Clubb, wyth Syster Aile Leaf as assistant. Syster Madge Carbery recorded ye clubb activities and Syster Nora Jean Stewart dyd hoard the sacks of treasure. ’Twas Mystresse Vernie Foley who dyd advise and help ye lasses during ye voyage numbered 1928. Ye Jym wherein ye dance was helde was gaily decorated lyke an ten-nys courte, with an net in ye senter around whyche ye mob dyd dance, flooring ye intermission, sum handsome wimmen garbed in jollie frocks dyd sport about in an elegant fashion parade. Ye dance dydde also duly well satisfy ye ravishing hunger of ye pyrates. Knowing that ye crew dyd enjoy the pleasant passtime of guzzling food, Ye Rooter Clubb dyd hold mennie noon sales in yon lower hall. Bonbons, pasties, and other such tempting delicacies, were thus dispersed among ye hefty fellows on ye shyp. Syster Anthony Soboleski dyd have charge of these joly concessions, whych dyd bring in jools into ye treasure as declared an immense success. QUINAULT Ye Pirate Luncheons Ye Advanced Cooking Class c'Ready for the (Bobcat Eleven Ye Ocean (Breeze Staff Luncheon Ye cAfotables’ (Banquet QUIN AULT 57 Ye Galley Records By Hilma Johnson “Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest— Yo Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rum— Drink and the devil have done for the rest— Yo Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rum!” How those pirates of the Blue and Gold did like to eat, drink and make merry! For this reason a bunch of the tars who excelled in the culinary line, called the advance cooking class, often entertained groups of the rest in gala style. On December 15, those who had been especially skillful in tossing the pigskin were so honored. The piratesses who acted as hostesses, Willabel Atkins and Lillian Hughes, remembered Christmas time was nearing and decked the mess hall accordingly. December 20 the second rate pigskin tossers were entertained. The hall presented the same appearance as for the previous affair, and this time Grace Manning and Lorraine Giffin greeted the buccaneers. Higher officers of the ship, the board of education, were given a 6 o’clock dinner January 9. Nellie Timonen and Virginia Manwell made thorough table very presentable by means of red flowers and candles. Those who kept the ship’s log hook, the Ocean Breeze, were honored February 14. Days of youth were brought back to the old mariners by the valentines with which Thelma Klufton and Elizabeth Holnzer had decorated the place. March 1 the females of the crew who had gained renown througn basketball were rewarded. The ship’s colors of blue and gold were to be seen, while Orah Morrill and Marian Mulligan acted as hostesses. Boys who had gained basketball fame received their reward March 16 when Sylvia Saari and Christina Henry were hostesses. That some of the cooks were Irish was manifested by the decorations. March 23 recognition was given those fourteen pirateers voted by the cooks to have done most to gain notoriety for the ship. Blue and gold colors were once more made use of by Bertha Olson and Ruth Spencer. Eighteen teachers, persons in high authority in Weatherwax, were elected by the chiefs to be honored April 5 in Easter Fashion. Eunice Mitcham and Alice Gillies well wished the guests. Another youthful event, May Day, was brought back to the pirates for the baseball luncheon, May 1, which Jessie West and Lillian Greer were hostesses. This affair honored the players who opened the season by defeating Hoquiam. As the end of the cruise drew nigh the pirate cooks thought of home ties and invited their mothers to visit the ship and partake of a repast May 17. Spring flowers were brought from land to make the venture a success. 58 QUIN AULT White Collars By cAdarfearet Levi Several senior members of ye crewe dydde leave theyre bloodie tasks for a tyme and dydde transform themselves frum ferocious pyrates into such pleasing men and wimmen as Cousyn Henry, Joan, Will, Tom, etc. Quite remarkable was thys jolie plave, “White Colars,” which was so abely directed bi Miss Minnie Moore McDowell, ye dictator of drama aboard ye bonnie shvppe Weatherwax i’ the year 1928. Ye performance dydde tayke place on April 6 in ye noo auditorium. “White Colars,” hailed by mennie as one of ye best senior plays ever produced on our vessel, was a gripping storie of life in ye average, middle-elasse American familie. Eech member of ye caste was verrie well suited to hys parte, and the entire effect was one of intense yet appealing reality. Ye plotte dydde center around a familie by ye nayme of Thayer. Joan, ye eldest daughter, dydde marrie her wealthy employer who immediately offered to remove thee Thayers fromm theyre cheap, stuffie flatte into a home rych wythe luxury. Thee Thayers, however, dydde refuse hys kinde offer and dydde follow the propaganda of Henry, ye oratorical cousyn whose socialystic ideas were a bit radical! Sew Will Van Luyn, Joan’s husband, dydde hyt upon an iydea to make ye familie get hys viewpoint, and all dydde end happilie. Doris DeRosia and Karl Karshner dydde have thee roles of Mr. and Mrs. Thayer, parents of ye familie. Beth Schaaf was Joan, thee virtuous and lovable daughter, while Bud Davenport was Will Van Luyn, ye verrie likeable and charming hero. Cousin Henry Thayer, thee character who carried thee playe, as it were, was admirably portrayed by Neil Cams. Erma Brower mayde a convincing flapper as Nellie, the kid syster; George Savage was her somewhat serious-mynded brother, Frank. Bill Waara, in thee role of Tom Gibney, aroused peayls of laughter by hys clever por-trayel of thee awkward truck driver. Sally Van Luyn, ye sophysticated syster to Will, was enacted by Margaret Levi. Jack Fowler was busyness manager of thee production. Russell Eddy had charge of thee propex ties. Interior decoratyng was donne by Louise Helbig and costumyng by Ethel Sargent. Bernardine Wiseman was ye promptor. Stayge manager Sam Norin arranged thee sceynerie. CA cTense dAToment In Ye Playe QUIN AULT 59 Christmas CAssembly' Ye Hewge CAuditorium By Hilma Johnson A jolly companionable lot were the Weatherwax tars. Nothing more did they enjoy than to get together. Finding the hold of the ship rather small for this purpose, a new auditorium was constructed of huge dimensions to seat hundreds of pirateers and with stage and equipment verisimilar to that of a theatre. This structure was placed opposite the Weatherwax adjoining the island, Junior High School. Although the salts often became wet in swimming to the place, the beauty and grandeur of it when they reached it made such hardships appear as nothing. By use of liberal cussing, brawny Sam Norin and Bud King were able to make the curtain and scenery behave. The most desirable location for sprawling while listening to the yarns, the middle section of seats, was assigned to the oldest and wisest mariners, the Seniors. The Juniors made the best of the right section and the gobs, the left. The auditorium was fitted out very handsomely with a brown velour as well as an asbestos stage curtain. The windows were decked with brown velour to match the motif carried out on the walls. Modern equipment furnished the stage with all the necessities of a theatre, so that the auditorium ranks with any of the best equipped school auditoriums in Western waters. The cost of the edifice was three thousand four hundred and fifty dollars; seven hundred and fifty dollars of which was paid at the end of nineteen hundred and twenty-eight by percentage rentals from the pirateers who used the auditorium. The Boys’ Federation contributed one spotlight. The Blue and Gold seadogs did increase their dramatic attempts bravely with the acquisition of this place in which to present them. The 60 QUIN AULT Harvey’s Orchestra classes and various organizations, did here entertain ye students with many an interesting assembly. The first one to be presented was Ye Thanksgiving Assembly which was in charge of the Girls’ Rooter club. The three ukulele ladies, Ethel Walls, Beth Schaaf and June Marshall did make their first appearance at this time. The Senior class did provide the entertainment at Christmas tide by means of music, skits and Santa Claus. One of the most impressive and clever assemblies of the year was given by the Junior pirateers. Outstanding in this performance were the Junior Drag and “Lest We Forget,” a tribute paid to Abraham Lincoln. “Great Moments” were had by all when the Sophomores did hold sway in Ye Hewge Odditorium. On May Day the fairie lassies and woodland nymphs did honor their queen with music and dancing. Ye Senior Pirates did once more deign to entertain the others on May 16. Bob Harvey’s orchestra did appear quite frequently during the year and added much to the assemblies. Junior- (Drag, QUIN AULT 61 Morris Marvin Johnson Phillips cDebate and Oratoryr By Lilie Palmroth Whoever heard of pirates having formal debates? But then pirates like to cut up with swords so why not with words? At any rate, Weather-wax had a debate team this year. This team, coached by Mason G. Hall and composed of Avis Marvin, Wayne Johnson and Dwight Morris, with Lilie Palmroth as alternate, debated against Hoquiam twice. The judges’ decision of 242 for Aberdeen and 192 for Hoquiam ended the first forensic clash between the two schools. Aberdeen upheld the negative question: “Resolved — That environment has more effect on character than heredity.” Hoquiam’s speakers for the opposition were Eugene Eliott, Elizabeth Kellogg and Lester Stritmatter. Wayne Johnson was high-point man, having received 53 points on his first speech and 51 on the rebuttal. What made this debate unusually well attended was the new scoreboard which enabled the audience to know the judges’ decision on each speaker. Under this scoring system, planned by Forrest G. Murdock, two judges collaborate on reasoning, while two others appraise the debaters’ delivery. The score is shown on the scoreboard after each speech. Defeat for Aberdeen at Hoquiam’s hands was the result of a debate on March 26. Hoquiam’s score was 431, Aberdeen’s 427. This was an exciting debate for the scores were very close throughout the contest. The question was the same as for the first debate but Aberdeen had the affirmative and Hoquiam the negative. Aberdeen’s speakers, also, were the same as before. To present the question: “Resolved — That ath'etic sweaters should be worn only by those to whom they are awarded,” two teams were chosen from the class of nine debaters. Three girls, Irma Brower, Helen Nerienz, and Lilie Palmroth presented the negative arguments. William Waara, Aino Laukkannen and Neil Cams defended the affirmative. Dwight Moi -ris was a very prejudiced-for-the-boys chairman, and Avis Marvin was a very prejudiced-for-the-girls timekeeper. Gladys Phillips, a sophomore, placed third in the state semi-finals of the national oratorical contest held in Olympia April 20. She spoke on “The Development of the Constitution.” She and Wayne Johnson were the school representatives at the county meet at Montesano where Gladys won first place, and Wayne second. 62 QUIN AULT Golden CA Club By Merle CAtkinson Ye Golden “A” Club dyd be established in yon Weatherwax High School this yeare. Ye new organization dyd be composed of all ye boys who dyd win an athletic lettre in ye major sports o’ ye schoole. Ye officers of yon club do be selected from ye membres of ye National Athletic Honorary Society, another organization, which does permit none but ye athletes who do get grades above ye average of their school. Ye membres who dyd be selected to holde office for ye remaindre of ye school yeare do be: Leonard Nocula, ye president; William Jaskar, ye vice-president; and William Fultz, ye secretary-treasurer. Ye purpose of yon club do be to cooperate with y’other student organizations for yon promotion and maintainance of ye schoole activities and also, ye club does take it upon itself to regulate ye athletic standards. As ye club dyd but be established this yeare, no greate deed dyd be accomplished, but ye organization is to be an permanent club so it does have greate plans for ye future. At an early meeting ye club did decide to put a motion through which did say: Only boys and girls who have won athletic sweaters may wear them while at school. This novel idea did be to stop the lending of a sweater by ye boys when ye feminine members did insist upon it.

Ye Letter- Winners QUIN AULT 63 CATHLETICS 64 QUIN AULT Football Combats By Merle Atkinson Jawn Mashin The proud and mightey shippe “Bobcat” sailed out of Weatherwax harbore just as th’ sun was set-tin’ in th’ weste. It was a greate spectacle agin’ th’ steele gray skie. It was Septembre of th’ goode yeare 1927 A. D. The strong and sturdy shippe was startin’ on a three months’ cruise which was to carrie her to th’ ports of th’ strongest pirate bands that were ravaging o’ coaste at this time. Little did that determined crewe o’ blood thirsty trusties know that, after three months of sailin’ th ’ high seas, would returne on Thanksgivin’ Daye in the same yeare, with a record of not one league defeate, and only one defeat all yeare; that by thee Spanish Armada undre Benson Tech, of Portland. The biggest cache of all was the Sou’west Washington championshippe! Th’ wonderful command o’ theyre chieftane, John Mashin; th’ tru and loyal spirite of th’ colony that backed ’em; and th’ real effort and fight put forthe by every membre of th’ crewe were th’ big factors in the “Bobcats” success. It was thee first time since thee yeare 1922 that a Bobcat crewe had swept th’ high seas for a championshippe.

AH hands on deck! Run up the death’s head — ready, charge! Board ’er, me hearties, board ’er!” Thus began the furious battle between the Amazon crew of the “Aberdeen” and the “Hoquiam” on the high seas in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty-eight. The cause runs thus: For many years the latter had travelled the same route each autumn with a highly prized and valuable treasure stowed away on board, and always the former waylaid her; there invariably ensued a terrible struggle, the Aberdeen’s crew usually sailing away victorious. And let it here be said for the benefit of whom it may concern, that had it not been for these yearly battles, it is feared that the entire group of Amazons from the Aberdeen’s port would have lost all interest in physical encounters. Now in this particular year of which we are speaking, there had previously been two minor encounters, from which the crew returned to the decks of the Aberdeen overwhelmed by their opponents. But due to the efficiency and experience of Skipper Marie Peterson, who was aided by First Mate Ross and Steward Price, set about drilling industriously. The members were quickly gotten into shape again so as to be able to carry off the honors from the next encounters. In the first attempt to gain the treasure chest, they did learn several things that were of value; the “lay o’ the ship,” the enemy’s mode and Ye First Team Marie Heiberg, Fern Ross, Pauline Shoun, Aile Leaf, Tynne Nissu'.a, Bernice Hunger, Mildred Price, Grace Hamilton. 68 QUIN AULT method of battle, and the exact place where the prize lay hidden. After several more days of vigorous preparation they again cited the Hoquiam several leagues to the starboard, ran up alongside her, got aboard, and after the most thrilling contest of all, returned with the chest, in which lay the coveted prize — a basketball with the word “championship” engraved upon it. Lo and behold! The struggle was over and the quarry again was theirs! In this season of wars there were several members of the Aberdeen’s crew who were known and feared far and near for their valour and skill in the art of warfare, and who had won the right to wear the brilliant orange cloak of battle. They were: the loved and dependable leader, Captain Ross; the tried and true Shoun, the reliable veteran Leaf, swift and skillful Hamilton, unsurpassed and powerful Hilberg, every-ready Nissula, and faithful Hunger. The first five of whom have served in the ranks for the last time. Woe! Woe! Moreover, much credit and praise is due the other indispensible members of the crew who were always faithful and gave their best for the good of the ship, despite the fact that their names were not destined to go down in the history of these wars. May they glory in the feeling of a task well done, and attain the limelight in the future. In the preliminary inter-crew and inter-ship combats between the Aberdeen and the Hoquiam, the Aberdeen Juniors went down to defeat by a score of 11 to 15. The Sophomores were also vanquished to the tune of 9 to 19. In the major all-ship games, the Aberdeen was the victor in both. The score of the first struggle was 4 to 12 and the championship match 26 to 12.

QUIN AULT 69 Ye Basket Ball Cruise By (Richard. Sims Taylor- holes in her side. With a game my hearties and a yo, ho, ho, We’ll play for the Weatherwax Main, And many a team on peaceful trip Shall ne’er return again. With this as their song the Weatherwax basket-bailers, sailing under a blue and gold flag, set out on an adventurous cruise early in December. Admiral Taylcr rigged up the good ship Bobcat and manned it with a picked crew of 13 from fifty-odd aspirants. Henry Murphy, who was the only survivor of last year’s corsairs, captained the squad. A number of practice jousts were held with other crews about the country in which the Bobcats, as they were known, inflicted or received few injuries. With the aid of these skirmishes the Bobcat bunch prepared themselves for a strenuous campaign against more formidable rivals throughout this part of the state. Shortly after the new year on January 6, the spotter on the Bobcat espied the Raymond. By dint of seme sharpshooting the Weatherwax ship having tossed in 21 cannon balls to its adversary’s 16, sailed clear with one victory in its hold. Exactly one week later the ship Elma was sighted and after a torrid tussle that boat was sunk with 25 With but a night’s rest the Bobcats made a long jour- Winners of the A Allen, Charette, Hollinger, Kolts, Williams, Jacobsen, Boyle, Waara, Hicks, Murphy, Fultz, Easterly 70 QUIN AULT ney and met a rather unknown crew, the Sheltonites, who all walked the plank after receiving 30 knocks. The Bobcat was somewhat weak by these battles having suffered 22 and 25 holes respectively in the fore of the ship. With three victories tucked away and a fruitful cruise in sight, the mighty men from Weatherwax took on a throng from Chehalis. After fighting for some time both ships ceased firing and rested with neither holding the advantage. Then when the combat was renewed the Chehalis crippled the Bobcat with 36 shells and sailed away victorious having itself been inflicted with 27. Enraged by this, the blue and gold men met and easily vanquished the neighboring Montesano gang who begged for mercy. In this encounter the Bobcat was dented 7 times to their opponents 27. The fifth week saw the band of scuttlers from the mightly Olympia engage in conflict with the Weatherwax boat and emerge victorious in a great battle. Thirty and 23 successful shots were fired in the joust. Incensed again by a defeat the Aberdeen band of fighters encountered its most deadly rival in the Hoquiam crew. Again the Bobcats rose to great heights, swept the deck of the Hoquiam broadside and finally emerged the victors in the closest battle of the cruise. Twenty-four shells, most of which were directed by Captain Murphy, found lodging in the Hoquiam while the Bobcat stopped 20 of the enemy’s. By some mishap the Centralia flared all guns into the side of the Bobcat and sunk that mighty ship. From the remaining men, which Admiral Taylor did not choose, a second crew was formed by Skipper Reed who rigged up the smaller vessel known as the Second Team. Ye Second Team Back Row—Ainswoi-th, Grant, McCoy, Sims, Reed, Morrill, Carlson, Korpela, Murphy Front Row—Jaskar, Kauno, Kopsala, LeRoy, Hageage QUIN AULT 71 C?pautical Pirates By Richard Sims Though but still in its infancy, the swimming team representing the Weatherwax High experienced a rather eventful season. Early in the season the natators, coached by Mrs. Jack McHugh, splashed its way to a one-sided victory over a squad from Centralia. Aberdeen captured eleven firsts and with a number of seconds and thirds ran up the score to 82 against their opponents’ 9. Maude Johnson and Bob LeRoy were the individual high point scorers. A while later the Olympia high swimmers were hosts to Aberdeen and after a close race were nosed out for a final result. Maude Johnson was again the individual star. This year a change in the colors of the sweaters were made. Instead of white, a blue sweater with gold stripes was chosen. The girls retained the coat-style sweaters, but the boys were slip-overs. Those who were entitled to wear “A’s” were Maude Johnson, Lloyd Gotchy, Geraldine McGillicuddy, Albin Wagar, Betty Desmond, Robert LeRoy, Merrill Myers, Earl Hite, Irwin Galbraith, John Lupton and Lily Maki. Besides these meets the swimmers also took part in a pageant staged by Mrs. McHugh late in May.

With seven veterans of former Bobcat cruises the outlook for the season was exceedingly good. Coach Homer C. Taylor whipped into shape a fair aggregation which would have made a better showing if weather conditions and a little home support were given them. In the first assault of the year the Bobcat crew met and defeated the Hoquiam band 3-0. This was the first league win in four seasons. The next battle was with the Tigers of Centralia. Playing on a wet, muddy field the Bobcats were at a loss and were sent home on the short end of an 8-1 score. The third game with Olympia played at home was played in a steady downpour of rain. The Olympians were the victors by a 10-4 score in an eight-inning game. The Centralia nine came to Aberdeen for their return game and won it handily 10-5. The team then went to Hoquiam where the Grizzlies evened matters by taking a 3-0 victory. The Bobcat crew sailed to the Shelton port and after leading the Barto men for nine innings lost it when two freak home runs were made in the last inning. The score was 4-3. The Bobcats’ last two games were with Shelton and Olympia. The letter winners this year were: Gasparovich, Wagar, Auer, Waara, Masko, Nocula, Jacobson, Allen, Lindholm and Atkinson. Top Row: Soreli, Jackson, Wagar, Wickett, Leaf, Lowe, Waara, Nickols, Carlson, Adams, Swanson, Lee, Agney, Jennings, Stanley. Bottom Row: Atkinson, Nocula, Hayes, Masko, Ecklund, Lindholm, Auer, Allen, Gasparovich. QUIN AULT 73 Tracking Cutthroats By Richard Sims Weatherwax high school corsairs went through what has probably been the most successful season in track and field history. Notwithstanding a belated start the Bobcat athletes developed into an exceptional and spectacular bunch. In a practice meet with Monte-sano the Aberdeen squad easily won, winning all the firsts and most of the seconds and thirds. The feature of the day was the record run of Morris Bowes in the 100-yard dash, the time being 10 seconds flat. Taking an early lead which it held throughout, the Bobcats won in a triangular meet with Olympia and Stadium high of Tacoma. Scores for this joust were Aberdeen 64 1-5; Stadium 49 7-9; Olympia 34 1-5. Bowes was the outstanding star with firsts in the 100 and 220, and in a stirring finish overcame a 10-yard lead to pass Ogle of Olympia in the relay. In their annual meet with Hoquiam the Weatherwax athletes duplicated the score of a year ago and won 62-60. Bowes was again high point man by virtue of firsts in the two dashes and a member of the winning relay team. At the Elma fairgrounds on May 3, Aberdeen kept up its winning streak in the annual county meet. Mashin’s men totalled 62 1-4 points to Hoquiam’s 48 1-4. Shelton came third and Elma fourth. Henry Murphy, revealing his form of previous years, was high point man of the day with 15 1-4 points. Hank won the broad jump, javelin throw, was second in the 440-yard run, tied with three others for second in the high jump and was on the winning relay team. Eiglfit county records were broken and two tied. The former 19 foot 6 inch leap was bettered 7 inches by Murphy. Jaskar broke both the shot put and discus mark with heaves of 42 feet 6 1-2 inches and 104 feet 1 inch. Aberdeen’s phenomenal sprinter, Morris Bowes, equaled the world’s high school 100-yard dash run by traveling the distance in 9 4-5 seconds. A little later he came back to win the 220-yard dash in the remarkably fast time of 22 1-5 seconds. Stubby Williams tied with Connor of Hoquiam at 10 feet 2 inches for a new pole vault record. Bill Poston won the high jump at 5 feet 5 inches, 1-2 inch better than any former jump. Thomas of Hoquiam broke the other record by running the half mile in 2:06 2-5. He also tied the 440-yard run of 55 seconds. Rudsill of Hoquiam tied the 120-yard high hurdles at 17 2-5 seconds. SUMMARY OF COUNTY MEET 100-yd.—Bowes, Aberdeen; McIntosh, Hoquiam; Morris, Aberdeen.

Ye want I should tell some things about them thar school teachers o’ yourn when they war kids, eh? Wal, I reckon I kin. Y’ see I run across ’bout everyone some time or ’nother in my travels and I’ll tell ye I never forgot what I lay me eyes on. Wal, lemme see. Thar was that Orstralian trip. An’ bless me, if the the cabin boy warn’t Benjamin Fleur-de-lis Hovies. An right smart lad he war too. Allertime figurin’ out some high flutin’ thing with numbers. An it war on that trip that I came to know Vera Metric Philps. She war travellin’ to Orstralia in search of what she called the fourth dimension. An’ it’s a pesterin’ me she war with what if I thought the density o’ the ship would keep the stable equilibrium of the ocean in accordance with the law of gravitation. Far be it from me to disappoint the child so I said I reckon it war. On Hifeh In Orstralia I first layed eyes on Mason Governing Hall. He war thar tryin’ to get excuses from the natives for not being in French an’ Indian wars. Ah, he war a clever lad. On his coat he wore many medals. One, I recollect now, his teachers gave him for originatin’ the idee of lettin’ no one turn around in school without a ritten excuse. Me an’ him we had great talks. He alius aspired to be a promoter o’ Father and Son banquets. Cornin’ back we stopped in Californy where I met Madge Laconic Finley. She war a shy little black-haired girl jus’ so high: Ye recollect how she favors bashful bmshing boys. Wal, she war the same then. She war a-goin’ a edit the Geometric Journal when she grew big, she said. She alius war a-playin’ with Vernie Mayonnaise Foley. Vernie spent all her spare time concoctin’ messes of roasted frog legs an’ such like. She made everythin’ sort o’ tasty like but ye never knew what ye war eatin’. Like as not boiled grasshopper ears. A short time arter that I took a tour investigatin’ the places of lamin’. On this trip I met Lydian Magnanimous Bush. She war attendin’ the C. A. O. A. B. (Caesar’s Attack on Atrofied Brains) College. Here the inmates talked in some kind cf foring lingc—Latin I calclate they call it. I didn’t get much acquainted with Lydian bein’ as I couldn’t get the drift o’ her talk. They said she war head over heels in love with a guy named Cicero. It war on this same trip that I seen Grace Hypothesis Sharp and her collection o’ dolls. She had more ’n a hundred and all named at that. It got me how she kept ’em all straight. Each o’ them QUIN AULT SI had a history a mile long. Ah, but ’twar a pretty sight to see her a-fussin’ with ’em. Her ambition war to have a family that size. Wal, I guess she more ’n got it with the C. 0. G. thing she manages so well. ’Twarn’t long ’fore I run across John Archibald Mashin. His hobby alius puzzled me. He’d get snails and worms and pertend he war teachin’ ’em how to play football. It came nigh to splittin’ me ears to listen to ’im. But I guess it war good practice for ’im bein’ as he teaches ’bout bugs an’ the like an’ he more ’n likely gained a good vocabulary for coachin' football teams. He alius took great sport in scarin’ his little French cousin Marie Lachrymal Peterson. She went in for athletics too, I hear. Wal, she war pretty nimble on her feet an’ had a good shootin’ eye. But, it ’pears to me she uster aspire to be one o’ those thar ballet dancers. Wal, ye never kin tell. ’Twar about that time that I found Marjorie Effervescent Watt an’ brung ’er back to ’er right angry parents. She had a habit o’ runnin’ away every month. Codfish an’ mackerel, but she war a wild young un! Seems to me she had a little friend who war alius tryin’ to tame ’er down. 1 got it! ’Twar Dorothy Primrose Slater. They made a cute pair, them two, one so mischievous an’ full o’ the ol’ Nick, the other so quiet an’ gentle like. They sure hit it off together, I’m tellin’ ye. For all her quiet ways Primrose warn’t so slow with the boys. No, bless me! She sure cud make the eyes o’ them landlubbers light up with that thar little smile o’ hern. Sakes, but between Primrose an’ Marge the boys o’ that thar town sure had to step lively. On one o’ me visits to New York I run across quite a few famous young ones. One of these was Louis Graphophone Wersen. He was noted then for trainin’ rich women’s dogs to bark only when told to. By this method he earned his spendin’ money. His greatest rival for popular attention was Many More-M’s McDowell. She war once greatly disappointed in not receivin’ a part in a play so she decided that her ambition would be to originate a new kind o’ try-cut for Senior Plays by which every one would be satisfied. I’ve heern that she rejected many offers from New York theatre managers so that she could carry out that thar decision. One day I noticed quite a ci’owd collected on a corner an’ so I walked over to see what ’twar all about an’ if thar warn’t my old pest, Charles Flivvcr-ford Rayl a-trvin’ to sell off an old rattle trap o’ a Lizzie. That boy sure knowed a lot ’bout fixin’ an’ runnin’ old wrecks but he couldn’t persuade no one to buy ’em. ’Bout that time, New York war all ravin’ ’bout some great picture drawer. I sure war surprised when I larned this wonder ’twar just a infant, so to speak, whose name war Clare Beau’s-Hart Blake. I guess her parents had a hard time keepin’ her in school bein’ as she drew such outlandish pictures o’ her teachers. It war on me voyage to South Americy that I noticed a young gal on board that alius carried a pad an’ pen. Whenever anyone wud speak she’d rite. An’ o’ all the queer ritin.’ I’d seen some queer ones in me day but none cud hold a candle to those things she’d make. She war Gladys Ish-chay-jay Shindler. She said she war practicin’ her shorthand like all good girls should. Herrin’ bones, but she war good! Another queer one on that voyage war a bashful thing who wouldn’t tell me ’er name. But I larned that it war Ruth Paragraph Easum. She war alius ritin’ too. But hers war in English as far as I could make out—little pomes an’ the like. We had ’nother passenger on board who ye probably uv heerd tell 82 QUIN AULT of but he war seasick the whole time. He war so out o’ his head that the ship mate war right scared. He kept hollerin’ for all sorts o’ queer things like oxygen an’ hydrogen. Wal, I calclate he gained his right senses in time, but it takes time ye know, me boy. Oh sure, I came nigh forgettin’. That war Homer Crisscross Taylor. My next trip took me to Canady. Thar I run across the Three Mutinous Musketeers, George Edifice Huntley, Carl Eburnean Johnson an’ Charles Write-a-theme Baker. These lads had run away from civilization, to escape the snares o’ plottin’ females. I war right sorry for them, I war. ’Twar a funny thing. Not more ’n a week later I run across four gals—I reckon about high school age—who had started travellin’ to Alaska to escape masculine attention. They war by name, Irene Espanol Johnston, Dagrun Featherstitch Eckrem, Ina Hyphen Ree Watkins and Esther Jocosity Rohrer. Them gals sure did enjoy theirselves, no gittin’ round it. They kept them Eskimos steppin’ pretty high an’ lively. Thar chaperone war Mildred Keepstill West. But she cudn’t do nothin’ with them gals so they came back on me ship an’ a lively crew they war. Lorluvme, me boy, but them war the great old days! Interesting Fadts CAhout Foreign Countries There are natives in Thibet who have never been known to have said, “So’s your old man!” Many Mexican bandits smoke cigarettes made of tobacco. The custom of dressing for dinner is not very prevalent among the cannibals of the South Sea Islands. After a careful survey it has been found that very few inhabitants of Venzuela live in Cosmopolis. Compiled facts show that less than one-tenth of one per cent of the inhabitants of the Sahara Desert possess swimming suits. It is possible to travel for miles in the jungles of Brazil without seeing a single street car. Records show that most of the black race have darker skins than the white race. The custom of toddling when dancing has not yet been introduced in Arabia. It is a universally known fact that men in Holland do not wear grass skirts. There are more Germans in Germany than any other nationality. It is reported that French is the common language of France. When people of Dublin, Ireland, contract appendicitis, they get sick and usually have to be operated on. Eating is considered the proper way to appease hunger in Denmark. In both Ireland and Jerusalem people born in 1910 are now 18 years old. In Finland people of Finnish parents are Finns but in Weatherwax they are student body officers. Water is used by people in Paris when taking baths. There are many pupils in Jugo-Slavia who have never in all their lives seen an edition of the “Quinault.” QUIN AULT 83 Poetic Personalities RUSTLER Since Russell rustled away my heart, How can I rustle it back?

S. dAAorals By CAn Old Salt Once upon a time the Boys’ Federation (Beautiful Failure) planned a gorgeous feast to be in the form of a Father and Son Banquet. When the question was popped three score and five wanted this banquet. Confidently the next issue of the day was brought forth—how many would come? Fifteen responded! Moral: Boys are funny. A class of supercilious seniors once decided to glorify themselves behind the footlights at the D R in a big vaudeville show. But when the curtain went up even little Tommy Know-it-all wondered where the seniors were. A few dignified the occasion with their presence but it was a great night for the underclassmen. Moral: Even the smallest and most insignificant of things (namely the Sophomores) has a use in this world. There was once an assembly at which Charlie Chatterbox learned that he must not talk during such congregatings of students. But at the next assembly he sat behind a group of precocious pedagogues. These stern rulers of the hickory stick filled Charlie’s wide awake ears with all the latest about So-and-So and Mr. Wacha-Cal!em. Pst! Pst! Moral: Do not practice what you preach. Once upon a time the honor students of a certain high school became saturated with anger. They stamped and raged and argued and wept. These heretofore angelic specimens resolved to go on strike, to skip school at all convenient times, to get their cards decorated with U’s and never, never study! For final examinations were to be abolished and consequently all their satisfaction in watching their butterfly friends burn the midnight oil was to be lost forever. Moral: Final examinations are absolutely necessary to keep honor students in good spirits. Once upon a time a most inconsistent assemblage of human beings who called themselves the Senior class of 1928, strange as it may seem, was confronted by that most practical question of raising some “almighty dollars.” For this secular purpose the Senior Ball and the Senior Play were given. But to make the story sadder nary a dollar was gained; and to make it the saddest of all a few were lost. Moral: The love of money is the root of all evil. There were once some sputting pessimists who mournfully moaned that baseball should be abolished because it was not a paying sport. But when little Billie Baseball-Fan took all his friends to see a game no one was there to receive his money. Moral: Take care of the gate receipts and baseball will take care of itself. 88 QUIN AULT A Group of Poems By (Betty Hentley CA4ISTS OF THE SEA The mists of the sea Were naught to me. The song of the bird Was not heard; For I’d seen Death. Death had stopped the breath Of one who was life to me. The mists of the sea Now are all to me. They breathe of my love Far above. The song of the bird Seems to me a word From one who was life to me. THE WORSHIPER I placed you on a pedestal And worshiped from afar— You seemed, then, almost perfect As a cool, white star.

I seem to see the ghosts of those I loved, and who loved me. And of those I loved Who loved me not.

And we’ve nibbled up cartloads of pencils while searching for bright inspiration ; We’ve struggled and suffered and worked to bring to light this creation. Now we give it to each one of you — Marjorie, Dora, and Paul, You can read the book for a life-time and never be bored at all. And tho your eyesight will fail you and tho all your teeth fall out, The annual will still be beloved, consult it when in doubt.

Erma recited a passage from Richard Third in which Lady Anne mourns her husband’s death. Sam Norin’s selection was from Henry Eighth in which the Duke of Gloucester plans to get the crown. To choose the best speakers it was necessary to have two tryouts. At the first tryout Margaret Levi tied with Erma for first place for girls, and Don Murphy tied with Sam Norin for first place for boys. Erma and Sam represented Aberdeen in the Shakespeare contest held between Aberdeen, Hoquiam and Olympia. The annual declamatory contest was held on April 27. From the twenty entrants, Erma Brower received first place. Her winning selection was from “Lily of France” which is about Joan of Arc. Erma’s fine diction and her well-modulated voice made the selection unusually well presented. Margaret Levi was awarded second place. She recited one of Amy Lowell’s best known poems, “Patterns.” By a comic selection, “Who Ate the Cake?” by Ellis Parker Butler, Erja Lonngren won third place. Burdette Miller, giving a serious selection from “Merten of the Movies,” was given honorable mention. The Martha Atkins Gray Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution sponsored a history essay contest again this year. The essays, having a minimum length of 2,500 words, were written on some phase of American history. William Waara, having written on “The Monroe Doctrine,” was awarded first prize. Hilma Johnson who wrote on “Reconstruction,” was given second prize. Dorothy Noll, whose paper was on “Texas, won third place, and Avis Marvin was accorded honorable mention. Ncra Jean Stewart, a Junior, won first in the annual Algebra contest. She was still going when her last opponent missed his third problem, which automatically dropped him from the contest. Cora Halverson and Dorothy Daneker make the best typing team in the county. At a contest held March 23, Aberdeen was awarded a banner for the best typing team. QUIN AULT 95 Johnson Johnson Austin Glaser Ye Seniors’ Farewell By Warren CAustin On Class Night, June 6, the Senior Pirates gave an informal farewell to the rest of the Weatherwax crew by holding a gathering in the hold of the ship, called the auditorium. Beautiful strains of music from the high school orchestra ushered in the parting program, a playlet, “Good Medicine” was skillfully enacted by Neil Cams, Florence Glaser and May G. Hall. Then followed a melancholy solo on the ’cello by Lucille Shoun. One of the prominent corsairs, Dwight Morris, recounted the many adventures of the parting crew when he read the class history. Again music held the blood-thirsty cutthroats spellbound as Eli Barr played a selection on the piano as he had never played before. To cheer up the sad scene, Margaret Levi read the prophecy of the class and May G. Hall read its last will and testament. The last appearance of the Senior Pirates as members of the Weather-w'ax crew, was on June 7, Commencement night, at the school auditorium. At this time the parting crew was presented with documents called diplomas which showed their accomplishment. As the new form of pirate-ship, the airplane, was coming into great use among the corsairs, the theme of the graduation exercises was on aviation. The crew speakers chose as their subject for their yarns, topics centering on this theme. It was the great national hero, Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, who attracted the pirates to the new mode of travels, so the young orators traced the development of aviation, including their hero’s life and the future of aviation. Outside talent furnished the music and readings which made the program so well balanced. The remainder of the events were; Invocation Rev. R. B.
