0112155 igiatnrg MARY WEBSTER Chapter I Few would have recognized in that wide-eyed, blundering group of f'frosh, who four years ago stumbled wonderingly up the five flights of stairs into the huge assembly-hall of the old high school on California Avenue,-very few, indeed, would have recognized in that unruly mob the present sedate, seriously-minded Seniors of today. These Seniors of to-day would probably not admit to their lower classmen that they themselves once caused Mr. Cassidy and the faculty to wonder at their stupidity, and at their frequent habit of forgetting where they should be. Nor would these mighty Seniors of 1920 be able to recall how small and insignificant they used to feel along side of the Juniors and Seniors of '17 and '16. Yet, in spite of this opportune weakness of memory o11 the part of the Seniors all these things actually occurred back in the Septem- ber of 1916 when the class of 1920, now graduating, made its debut in the VVest Seattle High. The class organized early in the year of '16 with Alberta Eames as president, Melbourne Potter, vice-presidentg Barbara Davidson, secretary, Clifford Lovejoy, treasurer, and Miss Pierce as class advisor. Chapter II The Sophomore year of the class of '20 showed a marked improve- ment over the hrst year in that the faculty were not troubled to answer so many hows and whys of ignorant questioners. The two all-knowing upper-classmen were no longer able to enjoy seeing the Sophomores make mistakes by going to the wrong room for it was in that year of '17 that the old high school on Cal- ifornia Avenue moved into the newly built high school on Stevens and thetupperclassmen were just as apt to become lost in their new quarters as their brothers-the sophisticated Sophomores. The work of the organized Sophomores was greatly advanced under the leadership of the newly elected officers: Phil Fraser, presi- dent, Bernice Daugherty, vice-president, Cilfford Lovejoy, secretary, Barbara Davidson, treasurer. In this year of '17 the class adopted.theilf.sFrench war orphan who has been under their financial support thru-out the remaining three years. A The Sophomore Mixer was given in form of a topsy-turvy party. Everything, including the manner of dress, the program and the re- freshments, was up side down or wrong side before. During the same year the class of '20 gave a Sophomore Assembly in which their talent was displayed before the whole school. PACE IG
