SffllOfiS The windy day of March 31, 1922, was the date on which one of our little senior girls had her first glimpse of the world at Toppenish, Wash ington. When she discovered that the little city of White Swan was so much larger than Topp enish, she hopped the “ White Swan Special,” a streamlined iron-horse, and stayed there to grow up with White Swan. This young lady started school in the Medicine Valley Country School, and spent three years there. Then, in the fourth grade, she entered the White Swan school, and devoted six more years there. One day, a friend toldher about Chemawa, and she roped a wild mustang, packed her suit case and galloped down here, breaking all speed records. She arrived here all “ rarin to go,” and has been here ever since. She will finish her high school work here, and is making plans to attend Willamette University next year. “ Bugs” as she is known to all her friends, is taking the commercial course, for her greatest am bition is to be a private secretary. She has many hobbies, and her favorites are collecting pictures, reading comic books, and a number of sports, and dancing. “ Bugs” always has a friendly smile and, “ Hi, hon” to greet her friends. She likes to “ slug good” on extra good eats, and also likes typing, and “ to be different.” “ Bugs” has no liking for slang, although she uses it once in a while. Her motto is “ Liveand learn.” To Theda Ashue, we wish the best of luck and happiness in her future life. May she live by her motto!
