SENIOR CLASS Today Seattle stands at the door of the Pacific Northwest-broad, Well built, and strong, looking beyond to far horizons, ready to take her place among the important cities of the world, and her citizens with international interests are still pioneers, building and striving to carry on the original purpose of those first settlers. In this high school, which is our little World, the Seniors are like these present day pioneers. As Freshmen their beginnings were humble, but as the years passed, they increased in knowledge and experience, their interests broadened, and now they are ready to step out confidently to prove their Worth to the greater world outside. During the first year Miss Lockhart was the class adviser, with Miss Dahlberg succeeding her in 1931. Then the members were new, green, and shy. Now they have become an important and necessary part of the West Seattle school life. It is the Seniors who have shown leadership in athletics, scholastic achievements, and all social activities. They were represented in practically every organization in the school, and the leading roles in many of the school productions were taken by Senior class members. During the Christmas season they also took the initiative in decorating all the rooms of the building with wreaths, and the assembly hall with fir trees. In addition the class sponsored four successful dances, and in February staged Cappy Ricks, the Senior play. But the great hour of triumphant glory for the Seniors, the culmination of four years of study, was May third, Senior Day, which started off with an unusual assembly and was followed through by a program planned out for the entire day. And now they are leaving us. May they continue to progress, carrying with them the same high ideals that they have upheld during their years spent with us. ikzqffgaw- ADVISER

If courage, faith, and hard Work be kept up, the former will be attained, but should discouragement, discontent, and lack of effort prevail, the opposite inevitably results. Thus the graduating class of this year must assume one of two attitudes upon entering the apparently dismantled world: either that success and prosperity will be returned, or that it is impossible to recoverf, Should the former thought be adopted by all, good conditions will return, but if pessimism predominates, no happiness can exist. Let's select the first. i
