At first our presence was unnoticed, but about the second week of school everyone took an interest in us. Initiation brought the constant sting of the board of education' and the cry of the superior junior. Our class of thirty-four really gained recognition as champs of the intramurals in the early spring. With initiation behind us and a four-year stretch looking us in the face, twenty of us started our freshman year as old timers who took an active part in the flunk list, honor roll, clubs and sports. President Bill Lawrence, Vice-President Chuck Trierschield, and Secretary-Treasurer Dotty Kay Kuehn took over the class offices. Under these capable officers we gave our first big shindig, an 'I LOVE YOU' party with a beautiful artificial apple tree in bloom on the stage and pop corn balls with petals inserted to represent sunflowers. Our mighty team overran the upper classmen and we became once again the champs of the intramurals. With a B, some C's, and a squeeze, we finally made it into the Sopho- more Home Room with twenty students. The girls showed who was who and elected Dotty Keuhn, president: Shirley Hansen, vice-presidentg Margie Klingbeil, secretaryg and Ethel Radach, treasurer. Around the middle of the year we had our famous HOBO HOP' with everything from real hay to square dancing. Spring found us the three-year champs of the intramurals. Revenge was in the eye of every junior as initiation day dawned and we tormented and swatted the initiates throughout the day. Ayt Kangaroo Court with Dotty Kuehn as judge, we used an electric chair, worrns and other subtle weapons of torture. A formal initiation party was given that night in honor of all newcomers to SHS. Our long awaited 'Under the Sea prom and banquet was April 19. After much hurrying and scurrying we finally put the finishing touches on our background of nets, fish, fishing gear and sea weed and rushed to dress. Ye Olde Salt, Larry Calvin, toastmaster, kept the banquet running smoothly. After the delicious dinner we all man- aged to arrive at the gym without drowning fdid you ever see it faillj We tired and tuckered juniors breathed sighs of relief After the Ball. The intramurals we won't mention-we lost. Officers for that year were Larry Calvin, president: Lauretta Walton, secretary? Ethel Radach, treasurer. Oh Happy Day! We finally made it! We're SENIORS! On the second of September, seventeen of us entered that dear old Home Room, looking forward to a fast moving winter. Right off the bat we elected Margie Kling- beil, president: Lillian Boen, secretary, and 'Butch' Burke, treasurer. After catching our breaths we started on Her Moving Picture Hero, our senior play starring Lauretta Walton. The big night arrived and with it a beautiful bouquet from Mr.Haniger, our director. Proceeds were more than any other class here had taken in on a play. Now knowing the mistakes made on our prom, we gave a very beautiful Winter Wonderland' senior ball with snowy trees and an icy pond. Compiling the Seet-Kah under Editor Ethel Radach again pur our noses to the grindstone. March 15 came and the copy was thankfully turned in to the Sitka Printing Co. We must admit that the juniors gave us a wonderful banquet and prom in April. May rolled around slowly but surely and Mr. Cole and we seniors played hookey to go on our sneak. We let the cares of the world go by and let our consciences be our guide the whole day. The days flew by and before we knew it we were hearing the baccalaureate service and walking down the aisle to re- reive our diplomas.

To the Juniors we leave the only thing that can be depended upon-Mr. Cole. To the Sophomores we leave the source of all our knowledge-mar- ginal notes in our books. To the Freshmen we leave our superfluous cranial capacity. . I, Lloyd Sutton, in my sane QU mind leave to Avis Pederson my bowling average in high hope she will get better scores and more trophies than I did. I, Lauretta Walton, do bequeath to Mary Nelson all the boys in Sitka who own cars. I also leave her my liabilities-I'm taking my assets with me. I, Larry T. Calvin, leave to Mr. Jonathan Abell my beloved position as sports editor of the Pushka in hope he can write up the games on time. I, Lillian Boen, leave to Nancy Yaw a share of my future millions and my ability to make people contribute to the Seet-Kah. I, Dave Rhoades, being as sound as a plugged nickel, will to Bunny Don- nelly, with the utmost care, a tack-in hope he will get the point. I, Margie Klingbeil, will to Sylvia Williams my position as feature editor ofthe Seet-Kah and my good fortune in getting out of school at ll a.m. every day. I, Norman Nelson, leave to John Toro my ability to stay awake in class. I also leave him all the girls in school in hope he can catch one for himself. I, Donna Kuehn, leave to Marta Williams my habit of being late or absent from school. I, Ferdinand Henri JeanB1anc, hereby will and bequeath my job as R'ah Rah boy and all the stale gum under my desk to my honorable junior com- rade, Morris L. Lemen. I, Rosie Kinberg, being sound fperiodj, do hereby leave upon passing, my photogenic face and figure to Gretta Hodges. To Liz Marks, I leave my suit-making ability. To Tommy, I leave my seat in Spanish in hope that he will get better than a D . I, Butch Burke, half sane and half Republican, leave to Pete Lowe my stubbornness in keeping the girls from making a fool of me. I, Dotty Kuehn, leave to Darien Phillips my place in the physics class because I know she'd enjoy it since l'm the only girl taking the subject. I, Archie Nielsen, will to Greg Ripley my good grades in English fRem- ember your Latinlj and to William fThirty-Secondj Joseph my ability to drag myself over the basketball floor. I, Shirley Richter, will my good looks, split personality, and wonderful grades to Bonnie Cameron. I, Virgil Liberty, will my scientific knowledge to Willis Osbakken on the condition that he try hard to suppress his desire to blow up the school when he takes chemistry. I, Ethel Radach, alias Little Radish, leave to Mary Lou Sunde my old binoculars Qto keep track of the ships entering and leaving the harborl. To Nancy Yaw I leave all my Sundays so she can go skiing more than I did. I, Bob Cameron, leave to Jim McBrayer my excellence as a typist, and to Sydney Hert I leave my ability to spell words wrong. We have left our all behind us but have gained much in doing so. Now, finally, after trying for many years, we are alumni. CLASS OF '53. ff , , n Wm 77Kouaz9 Padma Wow The senior class play, Her Moving Picture Hero, directed by Mr. James Haniger, was given Friday, November 14, 1952. When Peggy Hopkins came back from a trip to California, her lies about a certain movie star, Ramon Larrimore, whom she had supposedly met, began to pile up. Of course, Ramon came to her home town and a designing friend brought him to see Peggy. How she wormed her way out of the mess she created, helped her mother sell a painting for a small fortune and won back her jealous boy friend made an interesting play that kept the audience in suspense. Peggy Hopkins movie struck young woman Lauretta Walton Mrs. Hopkins her middle-aged mother Phoebe Young Angelica Jenkins Mrs. Hopkins' flirtatious maiden sister Ethel Radach Louise Huff wealthy, sophisticated young lady Lillian Boen Anne Roach good-looking friend of Peggy's Margie Klingbeil Iris Arden glamorous movie star engaged to Rarnon Sydney Hert Ramon Larrimore handsome movie star Larry Calvin Mrs. Trout widowed neighbor of Mrs. Hopkins Dotty Kuehn Mrs. Joshua McCracken Mrs. Hopkins'close friend Marilyn Petersen Fifi La Vie chic French maid Sherry Smith Ralph Reeves young man in love with Peggy' Norman Burke Judge Claude Bing smug, self-satisfied aged bachelor Greg Ripley Rudolf Hornblow Ange1ica's miserly suitor Bob Cameron Mr. Russell art collector Dave Rhoades Mr. Fowler detective Ferdie JeanBlanc W . I set the hour glassbefore me, for time was mine fas I'd plannedl, It was then I saw the future in each falling grain of sand. So.I looked into the future far as my wondering eyes could see Saw the visions of the world and all the wonders that would be. Dot is now a second Rembrandt, painting scenes to please the eye. Her sister Donna is in Russia work as an American spy. Lillian became a prospector on Mars' dry arid plain, She said there was lots of gold in Sitka but she couldn't stand the rain. Butch has bid for greater fame by outshining Toscanini While Rosie plays second fiddle in his Sitka symphony. Our fair friend Mr. David has the race tracks as his beat, Racing a horse called Fairy Foot' that hasn't won a heat. Fair Ethel is a farmer-she tried business but was a flop- So now she hoes her fields all day-with radishes her main crop. Lauretta, the famous surgeon, had fame even farther spread when She operated and made Virgil the only living man without a head. Archie invented the time machine and rose to heights sublime- He, traveled back to Cleopati-a's age and wrote a book on that time. Lloyd, it seems, went underground 'and has always stayed in that place- He lost his sweetheart Marilyn Monroe, and now can't look the world in the face. Larry, poor man, got married and is always kept very poor Trying to get enough money ahead to feed a family of 24. Ferdie and Norman are famous now as the first men to reach the moon. Bob planned on the trip, 'cause he built the ship, but he kicked the bucket too soon. Margie Klingbeil robbed a bank and was making her get-away when Her tire went pop, she was caught by a cop and is spending her life in the pen Shirley went to Morningside to care for the people gone mad: But all didn't go well, she was tossed in a cell when she thought herself Alan Ladd. The sands of time are running lowg the pictures fade away. The future is gone forever now, and the present is here to stay. F Nelson W'Lll1S Osbakken Vice-President First in brains-first in brawn' fat least in our heartsj was the class of '54, The activity enjoyed most during the year was in- itiating the newcomers several weeks after school started. Judge Mary Nelson was stern and unmerciful toward the frightened initiates during Kangaroo Court. All the deeds of the day were forgiven when our party rolled around that night before formal initiation. Four of our handsome boys proved the statement 'first in brawn by making the first string on the basketball team. These wonderful lads added to the fame of our class by winning the intramurals this year, with the other junior boys' help, of course. Hidden talent came to the surface in our minstrel show for the SGA, December 10. Willis Osbakken was inte rlucutor and Greg Ripley and John Abell were end men. Bringing the shores of Hawaii to Sitka, we gave our Junior Prom and Banquet on April 11 with everything from grass huts to tropical trees.

Everything being new and strange to us, our bewilderment was increased the first few days by continually finding ourselves in the wrong classrooms. Not letting this minor accident disturb us, we held a meeting and elected officers. Throughout the dreaded initiation week we poor greenhorns suffered under the onslaughts of the up- perclassmen, but we bore up bravely and had a lot of fun in the process. In March, after nearly bursting with secrets, we presented a clever skit at the SGA meeting. We gave a successful party on Friday the thirteenth, originally scheduled as a Leap Year Party in December. We freshmen felt proud of ourselves and with good reason for nearly all year we led the Honor Roll. Much to our embarrassment, we also usually led the Flunk List.

Q5 2 Q X., Q 'gmwl Endeavoring within both modern and classic realms, the 50-piece band under the direction of Mr. Prince Schaeffer has, by public proclaim, im- proved considerably over last year. While giving three concerts, playing for basketball games, Christmas program, and the Alaska Day celebration, the band has attained praise worth mention. This as part of their preparation for the music festival has given the band members a note of pride in their group. Culminating the year's work, the group traveled to Juneau for the yearly participation in the Southeastern Alaska Music Festival. Numbers performed at the festival were High School Cadets March' by Sousa, 'Hungarian Dance No. 5 by Brahms, and Die Fledermaus' fOverture to the Operaj by Strauss. Ensemble groups performing for our local service clubs were the reed quartet and clarinet trio coached by the first senior band officer, David Rhoades. The organization is represented by student band officers: First officer, Senior-David Rhoadesg Junior-Greg Ripley. Second officer, Senior-Lauretta Walton: Junior-Dotty Kuehn. Third officer, Senior-John Abell: Junior-Martin Strand. REED QUARTET TRUMPET TRIO 'WWF ,:,:,., mx A A E Q ffm Q33 . 2 f ' M dn Paw ! i mi.

To sing and sing correctly has been the goal of each member of the chorus throughout the year's activities. Culturally, the group has gained a knowledge of the classic era through music as well as a greater understanding of the modern music form and tonality. Co-operation, co-ordination, and a possible realization that singing can correct uncorrect speech habits has given greater incentive for the chorus and its efforts. As a functioning organization of the school the chorus has perforrned, under the direction of Mr. Prince Schaeffer, for each of the three concerts, Christmas prograrn, and has given creditable evidence of its singing abil- ities at the annual Southeastern Alaska Music Festival. Stodola Purnpa' by Strickling, Where 'er You Walk' by Handel and Swing Low Sweet Chariot' arranged by Fred Waring were the numbers performed by the chorus for the festival this year. 'AAt the festival, soloist Nancy Yaw, soprano, sang How Lovely are Thy Dwellings' by Liddle, and Greg Ripley, baritone, sang 'Gypsy Love Song' by Victor Herbert.

Our Journalism Class, assisted by interested outside students, success- fully published the Pushka, a review of school life and the latest scoops, every three weeks. About 180 copies of this mimeographed paper were issued to students, advertisers, teachers, Alaskans and several schools in ten states. The day before Valentine's Day the class published a Friday the Thirteenth issue without the help of the advisor, Miss Rayburn. Margie Klingbeil was editor the first semester with Bob Cameron as her assistant. The latter moved into the editor's shoes the second semester and Norman Burke took over as assistant. Business Manager Lillian Boen took time out from her many duties to circulate among the business people collecting ads. Marta Williams and Ann Chapman could be seen busily typing, wrapping, and mailing out the exchanges. The many games were written up by Sports Editor Larry Cal- vin. Donna Kuehn had charge of art the first semester and Shirley Richter the second semester. Left to right, standing: Sharon Handy, Harold Donnelly, Bill Boettcher, Lawrence Perkins, Marta Williams.

Officers: President-David Rhoades Treasurer-Nancy Yaw Sec retary-Lauretta Walton Publicity Manager-Ethel Radach Assistant Publicity Manager-Harold Donnelly Promoting loyalty to the school and good fellowship among students and unifying the student body is the aim and objective of the Student Governing Association. The Student Council composed of SGA officers, class presidents, and selected teachers, met each six weeks to discuss the problems and ideas brought before the student body. Under the SGA sponsorship a girls' bowling team was organized, bowling shirts and cheerleader uniforms were purchased, and a pop corn machine was bought and turned over to the chorus to help finance their trip to Juneau. The lucky ones who went to Wrangell and Douglas for the basketball games and to Juneau for the Music Festival have the SGA to thank. Not to be for- gotten were the six movies and the successful class skits which were en- joyed by all. With the help of Mr. Cole, teachers, and the able officers, our school grew in 'spirit and accomplishments throughout this school year.

During the year we helped the local polio campaign by conducting a tag day and by collecting' donations from the schools. The three birthday parties that we gave for the children in the Orthopedic Hospital were looked forward to by everyone. A monkey exhibited at the first party got a lot of attention from employees as well as patients. To add to the enjoyment of school life we held a Christmas Assembly, a Val- entine Assembly, and took part in Tolo Week. New members voted in on the basis of leadership, scholarship, character and service were Wally Volz, Bill Boettcher, Lillian Boen, Bonnie Cam- eron, John Abell and Sydney Hert. Our new photo club the Shutterbugs was established under the direction of Mr. Rowe at the beginning of this school year. The c1ub's aims were to learn more about pictures and photography. The first semester's officers were Bob Cameron, president, Marilyn Latta, vice-presidentg Pat Harrigan, secretaryg Wally Volz, treasurer. We learned how to develop and print film, using Mr. Rowe's enlarger. On several different occasions we saw slides and movies. The broom closet was fixed up into a small but efficient dark room. Our club had a bake sale to raise funds and we also took a field trip up Mt. Verstovia. We started the second semester with a new advisor, Mr. Lemke, and new officers. Wally Volz was elected presidentg Marilyn Latta assisted him as vice- presidentg Sharon Handy had the job as secretary, and Gretta Hodges took in that clanky stuff-money. We studied composition of pictures and at one meeting Mrs. De Armond, our guest speaker, discussed this subject. A Shutterbug photo contest was held and winning pictures were sent to a national contest. Each mem- ber was awarded a photo club pin.

The wife, the mother, the homemaker, the nurse, the teacher, do the really important work in the world. This work demands unstinting ser- vice organizations at Sitka High, training-grounds for future Florence Nightingales, Gold Star Mothers, domestic heroines. The Library Club is one of these self-less clubs-without glamor, without public acclaim-but altogether essential to the smooth running of a modern educational plant. These ten members issued books, checked them back into the library, and helped students locate magazines and books. Treasurer Sydney Hert specialized in making out fine slips: hers was also the dreary task of dunning the delinquent. Margie Klingbeil, secretary, was in charge of the file cabinet. Appointing duties kept Mary Lou Sunde, president, on the go. Shirley Richter and Donna Kuehn put up bulletin board displays and the typing was done by Sharon Handy. Mr. James Haniger served as faculty sponsor. and Ula! lax Laughter and suspense were in the air when Arsenic and Old Lace, the all-school play, directed by Mr. James Haniger, was given March Z1. Mortimer Brewster found out that his two dear maiden aunts, Abbey and Martha, were engaged in a bizarre contest of murder of lonely old men. Unexpectedly, another nephew, Jonathan, arrived with Dr. Einstein who was also in a contest of murder. Teddy Brewster believed himself to be Teddy Roosevelt and helped his sisters by burying their victims in the cellar thinking they died of yellow fever in Panama. Mortimer's predicament was complicated further by his fiancee, Elaine Harper, trying to find why he called off their wedding. Miss Abby Brewster sweet old lady Georgia Price Rev.

Sports Editor Larry Calvin, up to his ears in statistics, also had the problem of how to pose our basketball heroes, while Organization Editor Norrnan Burke tried to please everybody with his arrangement of class pictures. Business Manager Lillian Boen and Assistant David Rhoades were seen roaming the streets of Sitka prying money from the local businessmen to pay for this masterpiece. Margie Klingbeil, feature editor, hustled around school for weeks getting pictures and pasting them on our snapshot pages. Bob Cameron was seen packing a crystal ball around the halls of Ole Sitka High while dreaming up something to write for the class prophecy. He almost needed a lawyer to get the will done. As Activity Editor, Rosie Kinberg had the responsibility of gathering material on clubs and plays. No, Dotty Kay Kuehn is not a half-cracked scientist. Her weird sketches of strange looking rocket ships were part of her work as art editor. Shirley Richter, assistant art editor, was also drawing out of this world' pictures. Urging people on, correcting overlooked mistakes, and putting on the final touches kept Advisor Miss Hazel Rayburn busy.

Near the end of the season the girls started playing winning basketball. A win over SIS seemed to put new life in the team and when the chance to play Douglas preliminary to the boys' garnes came, all were ready and willing. The Wolverines definitely outclassed the Douglas girls in both games. Vivian Paul sparked the team with an average of 10.6 points per garne, to total 85 points for the season.

MAJORETTES Our majorettes, Sydney Hert and Dolores Strand gave the gamezs a special air with their colorful baton twirling. Light- ed batons, beautiful costumes and band accompaniment added to their dance routines. , f ig X - Q .,,,, ,.

The year started out with a bang when we elected Sydney Hert, president, Margie Klingbeil, vice-presidentg Marta Williams, secretary: Mary Nelson, treasurerg Ferdie JeanBlanc, sergeant-at-arms. We adopted strict regulations and planned regular practice sessions. In January, eight of us flew to Wrangell and yelled ourselves hoarse throughout the two close games that we lost. After winning the Sitka league, twenty-four of us and twenty other enthusiastic students accompanied the boys to Douglas with great hopes of victory. Although we didn't win accord- ing to the scoreboard, there was victory in all our hearts. The year's biggest event was the girls' and boys' basketball banquet we gave in the Moose Hall, March 6. A basketball theme was carried out with Wally Volz as referee. Dancing for the entire school followed.
