Everett High School alumnus Betty Larsen–Hammer (class of 1950) of Marysville points to a photo of her aunt as Lyle Goodrich (class of 1938) of Mountlake Terrace checks out a copy of the yearbook from his senior year at the 100 anniversary celebration of the school’s main building Jan. 30. More than 2,000 former and current EHS students and guests gathered to reminisce about their high school days and to see former classmates, many of which had not seen each other for years. Among the former students was at least one from the class of 1922. Each decade was represented with a classroom filled with photos and yearbooks from that decade as well as books and photos in the school’s library. The feature of the day’s event was a slide show and presentation by EHS alumnus and local historian Larry O’Donnell, which attracted a standing-room only crowd in the school’s Civic Auditorium. |

Snohomish Slew predicts ...
SNOHOMISH - Dallas Van Dyke tries to get a hold of Snohomish Slew at the fifth annual GroundFrog Day event Jan. 30 in Snohomish. Snohomish Slew, the meteorologist frognosticator, got the jump on Punxsutawney Phil and his shadow, predicting six more weeks of breezy and mild weather. Slew, who looked out at nearly 50 of his faithful followers, also proclaimed that the Silvertips will get to first place in the Western Hockey League this season. This year, Slew was joined by the Sea-Fair Pirates as the frognostic event was followed by the Community Frogorama, which promoted ways to live, work, play and commute in a green way. |
