time ascended the steps of Wilbur high. We entered with a determination to do things. From the start we learned that high school meant study. Our efforts were crowned with success. Only a few dropped out and the rest all passed their grade successfully. Socially we also made a hit. Our class parties will always be remem- bered. Our girls in addition took a prominent part in the annual Freshman- Sophomore play. At the beginning of the second year, there were eighteen enrolled in the class, and they still answer present to the roll call. This year has been a most event- ful one. The class has fumished excellent material for the basket ball team. ln tennis we lead all other classes. In the L. C. S. A. A. track meet we shall also be represented by at least two members. ln dramatics we have done more than our part, A Sophomore played the leading role in the musical production Cinder- ella. Several members also had leading parts in the annual commencement play, The Fifteenth of january. We have, moreover, led during the year in social activities. Ours were the first, the last, and the best parties. ln school spirit we have been leaders. We will now read the fortunes of the members of our class ten years hence, as they are written in the stars. Ella Rettkowski we perceive as an actress. Her fame has spread afar. George Britton is a famous piano player-a second Rubenstein. He can tickle the ivories to the tune of 310,000 per week. fsoft pedal., Herman Scheibner is the only white hope left in the country. He is carefully training for the championship fight. Marguerite De Clark is a star on the Orpheum circuit, as the tongueless wonder. Herbert Scheibner is running an ice-cream factory near the north pole. He has not made his fortune yet. Lillie jump married a doctor or a farmer, we cannot tell which. Charles Tusler is in Alaska. He is earning his living by carpenter work. Kathrine Hansen is still as industrious as ever. She is now studying German in Germany. Ethel Spinning has recently written a book entitled Calmness and is receiving the congratulations of every one. Pearl Dillon is now living happily in Wilbur-an old maid. Merle Dwinell is Professor of Political Economy at Walla Walla. Zella Fletcher is an artist. Her pictures are exhibited in all parts of the world. Bob Bandy is driving a ten-horse team in a wild west show. His ability as a driver is well known. Lockey Copenhaver is the manager of a large chicken ranch in Montana.

l resflulmnt gyietnrg We, the class of I9 l 6, are beginning to equip ourselves for the responsibilities of the coming years. Many of us are eighth-grade graduates of the Wilbur schools, while others come from the surrounding country districts. Most of the members of the class are planning to complete their high school course here. A few intend to take up special work elsewhere. As schoolmates, for the past nine months, we have endeavored to keep in mind that we were not preparing for graduation merely, but for life. D Altho we have met with more than one defeat during this, our freshman year, we are not discouraged. We feel that even these have benefited us. Thru the direct influence of our teachers, we are leaming to accept honorable defeat bravely. But we have, also, won many laurels, of which we mav be justly proud. Belle Kennedy was chosen queen of the annual Wilbur F air. In the voting contest for the camival, Margaret Travis was found to be the most popular girl in the high school. Bessie Martin, May Scheibner and Margaret Travis did excellent work in the Declamatory contest. lncidentally, these girls wish to thank their coach, Mr. Schmidt, for the interest he took in them. One of our members, Alfred Hansen, is a star performer in athletics. The Freshman debating team twice won honors in inter- class debates with the Sophomores. Elsie Haas, Bessie Martin and May Schiebner represented the class in this capacity. The contesting debaters did most excellent work. According to previous agreement, the victorious class was to be entertained by the defeated. Accordingly, on April the 25th we were entertained by the Sophomore class at the home of Ella Rettkowski. It is needless to say that we thoroly enjoyed the event. We wish to thank our opponents for their courteous treatment. We realize that, when autumn calls us back from our summer vacation, we may miss from our ranks some familiar faces. Their places will be filled by strangers. To all leaving us thus, we bid a kind farewell.
