EADS Dear old class of 1920 VVe've had fun and tasks aplenty But we hate to leave you now that we are throughg These four years we leave behind us Memories hold, just to remind us Of the love we cherish, Good old class, for you. ' Dear old colors green and yellow, How the thought will cheer a fellow As he thinks of you while traveling on life's ways! And wherever we may wander Over you at times vve'll ponder, Let us hope we'll meet again some future day . To our teachers we've been trying Sometimes, but tl'1ere's no denying We'll have loving thoughts of them and years gone hy, And vve'll leave to them the Freshmen, And the Sophomores, and Juniors of our dear old school, The VVest Seattle High. X And now for us this parting Is really just the starting , Of the bigger things We have in life to do. As We travel down life's ways We'll remember high school days, And ever to our ideals let's be true. 0112155 Qlnlnm GREEN AND YELLOW Gllaaz 13211 JUST WATCH Us GO 1-9-2--o

Chapter IH juniors and upper-classmen!! lt took but a very short time for the newly made ll-l's to learn the trick of how a true Junior may, by carrying his head tilted slight- ly upward, look with perfect ease down upon the shy 'fFrosh. The officers who successfully piloted the Juniors through their third year were: John Jacobsen, president, Eileen Benedict, vice- presidentg Helen Keck, secretary, Carey Winston, treasurer. Unfortunately the influenza epidemic made useless many of the Junior plans for the year including the customary play. However, all efforts were directed towards a Prom. This dance, with its unique and original decorations, was, in the opinion of many, the most enjoyed school event of that year. Chapter IV After three whole years of striving, and stretching both mentally and physically, the Seniors returning to high school in the fall of 'l9 could truly say that it was a grand and glorious feeling' to be able to walk confidently into the office, push one's self thru the waiting mob of offenders, and leisurely placing one's elbows on the information desk, calmly and without a quaver persuade Mr. Cassidy to give a third assembly in one week. The Senior year was efficiently organized in September with Carey Winston as presidentg Wiley Johnson, vice-president, Amabelle Kennedy, secretary, and Henry Mahnken, treasurer. Early in the year the class pins were selected, ordered and received. On March 26 the class of '20 presented its greatest success of the four years, namely, the play of Mice and Men. The Senior Mixer given in April was full of vim and served well in its purpose of replacing the heavy thoughts of care and work with lighter ones of gaiety and frivolity. This year the Senior Afternoon Dance was turned into a school affair. Originality was woven into the entire program and no one suffered from lack of a good time. In all its boastings, perhaps the one thing which the class of '20 brags about the most is the fact that this class is the first one in the history of the West Seattle High to publish a Senior annual. The class of '20 was also the first to initiate the balcony of the assembly hall as the future abode for all other Senior classes during assemblies. If we could but take a gl'lll1JS6 into chapter five of the story of the class of 1920 what discoveries we might make! but fortunately that chapter of the future is left to the ouija board and the class- prophesiers.
