Four years ago we entered this
high school as Freshmen, but We
were not handicapped by lack of
knowledge as most Freshmen are.
We at once plunged into all the
branches of the high school activi-
ties and won distinction for our
merit That year one of our mem
bers represented the high school in
the interscholastic oratorical meet at
Pullman. Three out of ten in the
| high school orchestra were Fresh
men, Two of our class were in the
cast of the high school play and made
| it a success In debate five members
entered the tryOut and one, Loren
Baptie, was chosen as alternate on
| the first team. Three boys of the
/ class were on the high school eleven
and helped to make the football sea-
son a success, and in the track team
sent to the interscholastic meet at
Pullman five were of our class and
helped to win third place for the
high school in the contest.
In our Sophomore year our ardor
| and enthusiasm for distinction did
not abate. Five of the class were
prominent in athletics and track
Three were on the football team and
at the close OF the season Wenatchee

son was chosen as catcher and the
baseball games that season were
never more successful. Three mem
bers entered for oratory, three fol-
defamation and four for debate. In
music Vida Van Cleave, Marguerite
Wilson, Agnes Fish and Stephen
Knowles were prominent. while the
high school pianist, Mildred Finch
was a Sophomore.
