Senior Commencement Speakers ' D Alice Poor, Belly Reese. Cecil lfivi- s ,- Bert Hagg, Lois Hawley, Jam-I McFa1e, C' l1 , r X ,c pr Cfx NF' Commencement HE Commencement program was built about the Northwest theme, as a continuance of the Annual theme. The idea worked out was the contributions of the ages of civilization to the development of the Northwest, and the potentialities of the future. Betty Reese, Salut- atorian, handled the contributions of the Mediterranean Age, representing the past. Lois Hawley, who tied for Salutatorian honors, discussed the Atlantic Age, as the present. Bert Hagg took the Pacific Age of the future: Janet McPate, the activities of the coming age: and Callie Nelson, the culture. Cecil River, Valedictorian, set forth the ideals of the glorious new age of civilization. Alice Poot, chosen by the Senior Class, contributed to the musical part of the program by playing Chopin's Sherzo in Bl' Minor, and Sequi- dilla, by Albeniz: and Ina Fraser gave a very lovely vocal selection. 17 'BLUE and GOUD, 1928 'Tx , CZ' +5 i. -P L 'C' 1 ,ff ff, 'lg fi N- s

IKE many drops of rain, we Freshmen descended, back there in '24, joining the mighty river in its steady progress onward to the sea. In that first year the direction of our eager current was guided by Mrs, Baeder, assisted by Jerry Knott, president: George Mumford, vice-president: Betty Reese, secretary: and Leslie Hefferline, treasurer. The first Frosh Frolic and the magazine drive gathered the gold from the sands of the stream: and the second Frosh Frolic made it pos- sible to equip the first Frosh baseball team in the city. The second year found the stream more steady in its flow, under the guidance of Fred Weed, president: George Mumford, vice-president: Marian Wood, secretary: and Grayce Harrison, treasurer. Some sturdy members of the group entered the combat of football. The Sophomore Follies offered good entertainment to all. We won our first laurels when the Sophomore basketball team received the championship. Next year the leaders were Jerry Knott, president: George Mumford, vice-president: Virginia Pickering, secretary: and Alfred Owen, treasurer. The class sponsored a Hallowe'en Dance, a St. Valentines Dance, and a Football Dance. This year the leaders chosen were Theo Tarry, president: Sumner Gourlay, vice-president: Lois Hawley, secretary, and Helen Rowe, treas- urer, followed on her resignation by Ernest Torrance. The first real event was the Senior Mixer in welcome of Seniors new to West Seattle High School. The Senior Class sponsored the Hallowi e'en and other dances. The supreme event of the year was the Senior Play, Pygmalion and Galateaf' which showed remarkable histrionic talent and excellent direction. The ticket sale broke all former records in this school. Graduation is, of course, the acme of achieve- ment. At last, the river has reached the sea, and at Commencement is ready to plunge into that tossing, striving body of water.
