GEORGE ADAIR-Four Yea rs George has been a prominent member of the boarding department. He is a serious student, and frequently studies from dusk to dawn. All he needs to keep him going is a cup of coffee. lHome brew, usually, on his hotplate.j George is a lover of the out-of-doors, and is famous for his bicycle trips. One outstanding excursion took him from Seattle to Mon- tana. He has also taken a number of hikes in the Olympic Mountains. He is a talented painter, and was one of the founders, and first presi- dent, of the Lakeside Art Club. George turned out for football and baseball. WARREN BEAN-Five Years I guess Bean's iust about the best shot of any player l've ever coached, says Warren Flanagan. Truly one of the best basketball players in sev- eral years, Beanie aided in winning last year's tournament and has led this year's team to many victories. But basketball is not his only sport. He is a superb pitcher, winning his letter in baseball when a Sophomore. ln football with passing and break-away running he held up the left- halfback position with little trouble. Beanie was president of his Junior class and is a member of the Big L Club. He spends his idle hours sing- ing cowboy songs with Ketner. JOHN BODLE-Three Years John Bodle will always be remembered as a strong leader, capable of getting results. As President of the Senior Class he guided his fellow students through a year that was both successful and rich in pleasant memories. John played two years of football and basketball, and as a plunging fullback could be counted on for good yardage. His fighting spirit was of immeasurable value to the team. John seemed to add that spark that makes a winning team. When the Hi-Y Club was organized at Lakeside he became an officer and a leader of this group. ln 1944 he was accepted into the Big L Club. RICHARD BOUILLON-One Year Dick Bouillon was well known around the school as a shifty quarterback. He became a member of the Big L Club in 1945. Because of his little escapades in the dorm, midway through the football season, he missed three games. He made one of the best runbacks of the year when he ran 70 yards for a touchdown against Richmond Beach. Dick is an active member of the Hi-Y Club, and is Secretary-Treasurer of the Barrons. During the football season he boarded in the dormitory on the third floor. His room-mates said that he thought about two things: a certain girl and football. lOf course, this is when he wasn't studying.j

CLASS P Since this is the prophecy of the class of '45, it is necessary to proiect ourselves into a distant future to a vantage point from which we can see the mark that each boy has made on the world. Scanning the past we find that the greatest single stride made by any boy was that fame reached by Hugh Matheson. This sharp wit of political fame was the Republican standard bearer in the presidential campaign of 1968. He was, of course, defeated, but with his van- quishment he produced a book that was, indeed, a work of art. The title One Among Many. . . . The book contained a foreword note by the grand old man of the clan, Alf Landon. Hugh carried the states of Maine and New Hampshire. Presidential Candidate Matheson enlisted the services of Soup Bouillion and Dick Frost as his campaign managers. ln the drive for the vote the boys used this slogan over the thriving coun- try: A helicopter on every roof and two chick- ens in every pot. The Hopkins brothers, always philoprogeni- tive, have large families. As a matter of fact, the boys' children are very normal lads except that they all have two heads. For the past few years the children, they are all boys, have been play- ing professional baseball. We learn from rival managers that it is impossible to steal a base on them. The class artists, Harrington Schiff, Dave Ket- ner and George Adair, stayed together after graduation. They made a lot of money. This money, however, was not quite like that turned out by the treasury department and now they can be seen any Sunday afternoon between four and six at Walla Walla. As we search the past we find that Rusty Cummings was billed as the voice of romance on his radio show. He finally was forced off the air, because his voice was so smooth the mike could not pick up the vibrations in tone. Looking through some very old sport pages I ran across some news about three old class- mates. lt seems that Jack Tremper, Jim Talbot, and Warren Bean played with the House of David baseball team during the season. Talbot doubled up on his sports activities and in the OPHECY winter he played with the Harlem Globe Trotters at right guard. The sensation of the cultural season last winter was the performance of Bill Lake, Clint Merrill, and Charles Elliott in the Ballet Russe. John Bodle went into the field of music and had been the star of the Metropolitan Opera Company for several seasons when Lucky Strike gave him an offer that he just couldn't pass up. John went on the hit parade and proved to be as great a sensation with the radio public as Lawrence Tibbett had been many years earlier. John became the hero of bobby-sox row when he slinked up to the mike amid the hail of garden products and rendered that old revival, Don't Fence Me In. Joe Schenk and John Gullikson left school and entered college. With the passing of the years the boys couldn't stand the slow, quiet lives that seemed to be their lot. They tore off the lid. Joe is now a promoter of six day bicycle races while John is the best tobacco auctioneer in the south- land. Bill Middlebrook, Don Leehey, and Tom Gleed went into the construction business and, at last reports, were building glass bottom boats so the visitors to the South Pacific could review the Jap fieet. Some years ago I read that one Bill Cowals had been caught in a iealous rage attempting to blow up Boulder Dam. When he was taken into custody he told lurid tales of destruction, reveal- ing that the damage done to the TVA had all been accomplished by his insane hand. Through his efforts alone, Grand Coulee again stands as the only dam worthy of the name. Richard Finke and Beriah Brown turned to the bar for their livelihood. Both of the boys made the Supreme Court, but there was ugly talk about Congressional action when the boys got together and gave the Chief Justice a hot foot. Scott Kline and Bamby Pratt remained to- gether and opened a baby tending service. Scott was in charge of babies under two. Bamby seemed to be doing very well with all the babies over I8 that were placed in his hands. Fred Hulbert and Newell Smith went to Holly- wood for their fame and fortune. Newell was fContinued on Page 523 7

BE RIAH BROWN-Two Years f Aw, come on, fellows, Iet's give 'em the ax! These simple words be- came immortal through the skillful leadership of cheer leader Berry Brown. Acting as cheer leader was not the only way that Berry managed to make uproarious amounts of noise. He always started his expert piano playing with Wagner's Rienzi Overture, but strangely enough the music would soon read to the merry tune of Cook Me, Cookie, With a Can of Lord. Berry was half owner of a Model T. This was a great source of entertainment to the dorm boys as well as himself. He was an active member of the track squad, as well as the Hi-Y. BOARDMAN BROWN-Four Years There have been only a few boys at Lakeside that have taken an active part in school life that is comparable to the role played by Slats Brown. He is a member of the Brownell Club, Big L Club, and Hi-Y Club. He has worked on both the Tatler Staff and Numidian Staff, being Sports Editor of both. He won letters in baseball, football, track, and basket- ball, and received the Inspirational Award for his outstanding football playing. He was Secretary-Treasurer of the Freshman Class, Vice-Presi- dent of the Sophomore Class. He left Lakeside for one year for Wash- ington, D. C., where he became President of his Junior Class. WILLIAM COWALS-Two Yea rs Bill is the unassuming, good natured boy from the Coulee Dam region, which he declares is the only worth-while place in the State of Washing- ton. He proved his abilities by advancing from a Sophomore to Senior through a summer school course. Bill has played an important and prom- inent role in the boy scouts. He worked as Junior Assistant Scout Master under Mr. Cantonwine and was awarded the Boy Scout Inspirational Cup for his faithful services. Bill has a decided influence on the younger boys of the school, and has been well liked by the older boys.. He plans to enter the Navy. RUSSELL CUMMINGS-Three Years As cheer leader Rusty Cummings really kept the school on the go. He was, without a doubt, capable of making more noise for a better cause than any other boy in the school. He was also a super-salesman deluxe. If the cause was good you could always count on Rusty to sell more tickets than any other salesman. Despite his handicap of height he turned out for boxing. In the ring he showed a skill that was to make his name respected to the fullest extent. He won the Tennis Champion- ship Award for two consecutive years. When the time would permit, Rusty would work out with the track squad.
