I I I I I To our beloved fathers and mothers, Whose patience, love, and sympathy have given us courage, inspiration, and the necessary perseverance to keep up the fight throughout the years of our high school education, do we, the class of nineteen hundred and forty-six, lovingly dedicate this edition of our Wasehian. Svwezdnteavlentfz The pictures contained in the Wasehian of 1946 gives tangible proof of activities and ex- periences of the students of Wapato High School. While we look back upon these ac- tivities as times of interest and pleasure, we should also remember that through this means we added much to our education. Education consists of something more than memorization of facts. An educated person demonstrates that he is able to apply knowledge learned. He is willing to shoulder his part and adapt himself readily to any situation that presents itself. Again, as in the past, the Wasehian demon- strates that we have tried to apply the knowl- edge and skill learned, and I am sure we have gained thereby. H. J. KRAMER Szzpeiinlefzdefzl of School! ?zdnaQeaZb Wieamge The past school year has brought to Wapato High School many successes of which we can be proud. It is always a pleasure to see youth step up and assume responsibilities and ac- complish things. Student leaders this year have cooperated in a fine way to make pos- sible such events as Student Day, class guidance meetings, assembly programs, Christmas Ves- pers, and Open House. We hope that students are becoming increasingly conscious of the fact that Wapato High School exists for them, and that what the high school is depends largely upon their working with faculty and administration in planning and carrying out- a program of work and activities wherein every pupil can find something to meet his own needs. Our congratulations and best wishes go to those who are graduatingg to those who will yet be with us goes the hope that another year will bring us additional reasons to be proud of our school.

Kramer, Superintendent and Clerk. 640033041265 This is the first year under the consolidation that enlarged the Wapato District No. 54 to in- clude the Parker Heights District No. 124. This consolidation added some 225 pupils to the new dis- trict No. 206 and swelled the total enrollment well over 2000. With consolidation the School Board had increased from three to five members. The new dis- trict was divided into five Director Districts and each area is represented as follows: District 1, Frank Labbertong District 2, Hiram J. Dartg District 3, F. C. Olseng District 4, Walter Hartg Chairman of the Board, and District 5, john Gans. F. C. Olsen and Hiram J. Dart were former members of School District No. 124 and john Gans and Walter Hart of School District No. 54, Frank Labberton being the new member of the reorganized Board. To these men we owe the many fine things we enjoy at the Wapato Public Schools.

Befitting the grandness and novelty of such an experience, we started the year effectively with an All-School Mixer on September 14 and a 96fZp sales of A. S. B. tickets. Many new privileges such as class yell leaders, busses to games, and our assembly committee, and many renewed privileges, such as the Basketball-Foob ball Dance and the student conference were afforded us. This year for the first time in five years we were allowed to transport the students and our band in school busses to out-of-town games, giving us a much larger rooting section for these games. Headed by the adviser, Russell Scott, an assembly committee, composed of the social chairman and assistant of the A. S. B. and the social chairmen of the various classes, helped the classes, clubs, and the yell leaders plan and organize better and peppier assemblies. An election committee of three was appointed for the year. Those three were Calvin Radach, June Polley, and Olga Belzer. The duty of this newly appointed committee was to count any and all ballots for any form of A. S. B. elections. Continually busy this year doing many new and different things, among which was the sign above the stairway in the Senior High hall, was our advertising department headed by our A. S. B. advertising manager and art director, Mr. Dolan. Among the many social activities sponsored by the Associated Student Body were our second an- nual Sno-Ball, a formal ball, and our Football-Basketball dance, a sports dance in honor of our letter- men, held on December 14 and March 22. Both dances were well attended and very successful. ,On March 28, Student Day, the teachers', prinicpal's, and advisers' stations were manned by the students. This was topped off by a very successful Board of Control assembly. The Yakima Senior High School was the scene of a student conference sponsored by the Yakima Valley Junior College, Saturday, March 9. These were only a few of our A. S. B. enterprises which included many more activities such as the purchasing of smaller Red Devil emblems and the sponsoring of many drives during' the year. Despite certain conflicts and misunderstandings, we of the Board of Control have tried to be just and unprejudiced and have tried to do what we feel the majority of the students would want done. We are honored that you chose us to represent you, and we have tried to merit your faith and trust in us by doing the best we could with the best interests at heart. We would like to thank you-the Associated Student Body-for all the co-operation and help you have given us and wish to you students who will be here next year and to next year's Board of Control the best of luck in whatever you undertake. Next year there should be more and better chances for development of student government and with the co-operation and help of everyone, you-next year's student body-can make it one of the most dynamic years Wa Hi has ever witnessed. 6 Zhu af 7746 On the good ship Class of 1946 a number of timid students began a four-years' cruise through high school. It has been a stormy voyage at times, and many times the breakers have been nearly vic- torious: but the God of the Sea has managed to keep peace among the angry waves. At Port Freshman the officers introduced were: Mate, Vern Thomas, Purser, Anna Merritt, and Pilot, Miss Alice Beutel. The crew enjoyed athletics. Richard Maib won his letter this first year. Those on board enjoyed the islands, Picnic and Freshman Graduation. Bill Simonis and Lucile Schanzenbach were the most popular of the company. E The company rested three months at Port Sophomore before resuming the voyage. This year's new officers were: Captain, Vern Thomas, Mate, Wilbur Kwakg Purser and Officer of the Watch, Anna Merritt, Jimmy Legs, Trixie Thompson, and Pilots, Mrs. Dow and Miss Lyman. First the company met with the company on the ship Class of 1947 and gave a Sadie Hawkins' Day for both ships' companies. This year the athletic abiliity seemed more in earnest as Don Brown and Vern Thomas joined Richard in the football ranks: and Don Yearout, Bill Simonis, and Dan Falen show outstanding basketball ability. The company viewed the island Sophomore Picnic. At Port junior the new officers were: Captain, Wilbur Kwakg Mate, Richard Maib: Purser, Trixie Thompson: Officer of the Watch, Bob Parnellg jimmy Legs, Bill Simonis. Mrs. Wise and Mrs. Dow steered us safely past the boulders. The men of physical ability gained greater glory this year. Some of the company became officers on the head ship. There were: Anna Merritt, Purser: Trixie Thomp- son, Officer of the Watch: and Bill Simonis, Jimmy Legs' Assistant, while Wilbur Kwak visited the head ship as the representative from the Class of 1946. Our ship won many races that year. Our company gave a promenade over which reigned Queen Lucile Schanzenbach in honor of the Class of 1945. The third year of the cruise closed as the company set foot on the shores of Port Senior. Port Senior was a very pleasant stop. One more year was left to complete this cruise. A great many more of the company became officers on the head ship. Richard Maib was now Captain of the rul- ing ship, Calvin Radach, Mate: Trixie Thompson, Purser, Bill Simonis, jimmy Legs: Lenora Eichler, jimmy Legs' Assistant, june Polley, Assistant Keeper of the Watch: and Bob Parnell, Male Captain. Officers on the Class of 1946 were: Captain, Calvin Radach, Mate, Alan McDonald, Purser, Aileen Shaw, Officer of the Watch, George Murphy: jimmy Legs, Don Yearoutg Pilots, Miss Upson and Miss Curtiss. Olga Belzer, an outstanding passenger, edited the annual fleet log and was Valedictorian of the company. Another intelligent one was Verne Munson, Salutatorian, president of the science club, secre- tary of F. F. A., and vice president of Boys' Club. joe Favilla was president of F. F. A. and was Tolo King. Dorothy Elder was outstanding in G. A. C. The main social event of the year for the vessel was the junior-Senior Party. The company gave an assembly which pleased the fleet and a play, The Bat, which pleased the fleet more. The last week of the voyage was filled with good-byes and in wishing the other ships good fortune. In this week two days were set aside to celebrate. The first was Baccalaureate Sunday and the second, at 'iPort Graduation, Commencement. Lumps rose in their throats and tears in their eyes as the company said good-bye to the fleet they loved so well.

I E ' 1 X i l N x I N P L 5 N mm2eazw To begin a most successful year, the junior Class of 1945 and 1946, after considering carefully, chose the class officers for the year. The offices were capably filled by john Geffe, president, Lyle Noble, vice-president, Ray Cummings, secretary, Fred Miller, treasurer, and Paul Schilperoort, social chairman. Paul was an inspiration to the rest of the class. In his position he had charge of the assembly of March 15 and the Prom of May 3. The guidance committee, composed of Beverly Baker, Rilla Quantrille, Valeta Geffe, Bob Brown and Gordon Stover, planned the meetings of the class. Beverly Baker, chairman of the committee, ar- ranged the plans of the new Hello Day which was sponsored by the Junior Class. During Hello Day everyone wore a tag bearing his name. Veleta Geffe, along with her guidance work, planned the monthly programs of the Girls' Club. Rilla Quantrille did double duty, too. She held the position of the advertising manager of the A. S. B. ' Rae Dean Graham, another enthusiastic member of the class was the vice president of G. A. C. She helped to make the G. A. C. playday a success. The All-Hi play, What a Life, included two people from the junior Class. They were: Darlene Trudeau, as the secretary, and Tim Thompson as Henry Aldrich. Darlene also budgets the books as treasurer of the A. S. B. She spends a great deal of her time on this job and is very capably attending to it. Among the outstanding athletes of the year were john Geffe, football and basketball, and Lyle Noble in football. Acting as basketball manager was our own Colin Fitzsimonds. Promoting pep and cheering the teams were our two keen yell leaders, Tim Thompson, Yell King, and Patty Yearout. The outstanding event of the year was the Prom in the junior high gymnasium. Veleta Geffe was crowned queen at intermission by john Geffe. The princess Darlene Trudeau, Marie Martin, Mable Smithwick, and Delores Haussler presided at the gala event. A very enjoyable evening was spent in Hawaii dancing to the music of the Williams band. Mrs. Wise was our capable adviser and counsellor. It is the sincere wish of this writer and the departing senior class of 1946 that you will enjoy your last year as much as we did.

Most of them have managed to acquire the extra height that distinguishes them from their persecuted companions, the freshmen. In all contests held between classes the sophomores were right in there pitching. In the March of Dimes contest we collected more than all the other classes combined. In the sale of tickets for the school play the sophomores won again. This was because of the salesmanship of Lois Day who sold more tickets than anyone else. In the safety contest Ruth Shockley, jackie King, and Phyllis Snow won more honors for the class. Ruth Shockley also turned in many new yells and songs for the yell contest, which were used. ' In all sports the sophomores made themselves noticeable. In football Esau Moss and joe Hecker were exceptionally good players and both won letters. Another sophomore that brought us honor by earning a letter in football was Norman Aller. In basketball Bill Green was chosen to play on the squad. He worked himself up to the first five and at the end of the season was named on the All-Northern team. The basketball B squad was composed entirely of sophomores. Baseball, track and tennis saw many sophomore students among their players. The feminine part of the class took their share of sports in G. A. C. A large percentage of the Girls' Athletic Club was comprised of sophomores. Half of the G. A. C. officers were sophomore girls, which goes to show that the class was well represented. The debate team was composed mostly of members of this class. Three sophomores journeyed to Tacoma for debates and won several honors. The debate teams also held debates with several neighbor- ing towns. The sophomore debates were Gene Lloyd, Don O'Kelley, Donna Riddle, and Opal Whitaker. The guidance committee supplied the class with interesting guidance meetings. Talks on different vocations were given and a skit was given on the right and wrong way to apply for a job. A round table discussion on attitudes of the high school students was also given. The two most important activities of the class for the year were the sophomore assembly and party. The assembly was given in February. It was based on excerpts of different radio programs. The party was held in April and was a great success. There was dancing in one half of the gym and games in the other half. Miss Fuchs and Miss Hill have advised us through an interesting and enjoyable year. The entire sophomore class is looking forward to next year and is eager to partake in all the next year's activities. There isn't a crystal ball handy, but, nevertheless, it seems safe to predict that this group, rarin' to go as it is, will certainly be heard of a great deal in the future. - SOPHOMORE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL Front row: Miss Betty Fuchs, adviserg Betty Lou Kure, Norma Schmidt, Donna Mae Graham, Lennie Doak.

B. ticket sales drive, the War Bond drive, the March of Dimes campaign, and the T. B. drive. The Freshman party took place March 9 at which the students of the class displayed some of their many talents. The Freshmen take great pride in their enthusiastic nature.

An all-girls party held in September was the first event. November marked the date of the first annual Tolo Week. fReigning as king at the Tolo Dance was Joe Favilla with his six princes, George Murphy, Lyle Noble, Vernon Lawrence, Calvin Radach, Dan Falen, and Lewis Hosman. The Letterrnen's Banquet became one of the outstanding occasions of the year. Most important event of the year was the annual Mothers' tea and fashion show, with the mothers of all the girls as guests. By selling popcorn, the Girls' Club earned approximately 370. em' gear Wapato High School's Boys' Club had a rather inactive year due to vacations and other postpone- ments. The Boys' Club saw a home movie presented by Mr. Paul Volkman. The fire which wrought havoc in this school a number of years ago was a part of Mr. Volkman's show. A man of aviation talent, Mr. james A.

' It is the duty of each Red Devil to be at all school activities such as football and basketball games to help with ticket sales and keep order. They also are responsible for the making and enforcing of various rules to make the school a neat, friendly, and more orderly place. This year the club, headed by President Wilbur Kwak and under the supervision of Mr. Henley, has enacted some new rules as well as a demerit system. Any Red Devil who breaks a law of the club gets the usual punishment as well as demerits. At the beginning of this year each member was given 43 points as soon as 15 of these points are taken away, he automatically loses his membership. , ' Beginning this year each member was given a Red Devil head with the understanding that it would become his property after completing a successful year of service. I The debate teams for the first time since the outbreak of the war have again become an active organization. The question for this season being Resolved, The Federal Government should establish a Colum- bia Valley Authority. Opening the season, they had two practice debates with Marquette, won two ,conference debates from Marquette, tied one and suffered three loses to Sunnyside.

The Pep Club this year has sought to better their organization by making additions and amend- ments to their constitution. The club adopted a demerit system. The yell leaders automatically become members of the Pep Club. Half time skits were provided at several basketball games. Girls also did their share of passing out programs and taking tickets at home games. Once again the girls boosted their treasury by selling shakers and apples. The Pep Girls annual assembly was presented for the high school. The setting was in the famous Mark Hopkins hotel in San Francisco. The Red Devils enjoyed the banquet that was given in their honor by the Pep Club. This is an event that both clubs looked forward to all year. The group was under the capable guidance of Miss Hodges, adviser. 6660266 With Verne Munson as President, and Mr. Middleton as adviser, the science club of Wapato was newly organized this year. ' The plan of the club is to learn more about science through actual practice. Some of the members continued their photography work and others worked further with other chemistry and physics experiments. The club had several field trips during the second semester. Trips to radio station K I T and the Perry Institute were two of the interesting visits. i From row: Bill Kramer, Verne Munson, Olga Belzer, Bob Pelzer, Verlan Clem, Arnold Brucker.

The purpose of the G. A. C. is to sponsor good sportsmanship and develop physical skill. In order to make this possible the girls have participated in volley ball, basketball, tumbling, badminton, ping-pong, and softball. The members of the G. A. C. sponsored a play day for Sunnyside, Toppenish, and Yakima. It turned out very successfully. April 12 was the G. A. C. party. A grand time was had by all who attended. During May the lettermen had a party which turned out very well. Mrs. Marquerite Wise was the adviser of the Girls' Athletic Club for the past year. 77,14 With a membership of fifty boys, the Wapato Chapter of the Future Farmers of America had a very successful year of activities. Getting off to a poor start, the F. F. A. judging team placed eighth at Grandview last fall. An- other judging team composed of Bill Stobaugh, Glenn Wright, and Vernon Lawrence brought home a second place banner for the chapter in a state-wide swine judging contest at the janalu farm near Seattle. One of the highlights of the year was the S500 award made to the chapter by the local Lions Club to buy perpetual livestock projects. Outstanding in the year's activities was the first annual F. F.

The leading role of Henry Aldrich was played by Tim Thompson in Clifford Goldsmith's play, What a Life. What a Life depicted Henry's troubles with his teachers, with his girl friends, and with his enemy, George Bigelow. The climax of the play came when Henry was accused of stealing a majority of the schoo1's band instruments. However, with the finding of several clues which pointed toward George, it was finally proved that Bigelow had committed the crime and had tried to frame Henry. emaz ping The Senior Play, The Bat was presented on April 26. Adapted from, 'The Circular Staircase by Mary Roberts Rinehart, the play was ably produced and directed by Mr. Scott. The story concerned itself with the theft of a million dollars that was taken from the Union Bank. The money was hidden in an upstairs room in the leased mansion of Courtleigh Fleming, the dead bank president. Mysterious rappings, two killings, arson, and an unknown man who has been bound and gagged in the garage, are only a few of the events that occurred when the curtain rose on that stormy night.

Richard won the much coveted Inspirational Player award and greatly deserved the honor bestowed upon him. Alan McDonald, diminutive but dynamic quarterback, received the Honorary Captaincy award for his leadership and drive with which he sparked the team both in worcls and deeds. He excelled at block- ing and was a tricky ball carrier. Beside these two honorary award winners, the other lettermen were, George Murphy, speedy half- back and excellent passer, Esau Moss, sophomore fullback, John Geffe, halfback and end alternate, Lyle Noble, guard, Harry Parton, guard, Pete Hoyt, end, Norman Nesary, tackle, who was injured at mid season, and Paul Schilperoort, end, who proved to be the bad luck member of the squad. Injuries kept him out of suit to the extent that he was unable to receive his letter again this year. The following boys received their first football letters this year: Don Brown, tackle, Louis' Hos- man, guard, Bob Parnell, end, Alvin Myers, sophomore halfback, Bill Green, sophomore center, Nor- man Aller, sophomore tackle, and joe Hecker, sophomore tackle who replaced Norman Nesary upon his injury.

This year at Wa Hi the first turn- out for the favorite of all winter sports saw a varied description of aspirants, Sophomores and Seniors, tall and short, lettermen and beginners. Out of these fellows Coach Colby took over the task of making a team. He built his varsity around five returning lettermen and members of last year's B squad. It was very obvious that he would have to cut his squad down to a reasonable size, and he did this with immaculate care. Coach' Bob Dolan took over the UB squad and did a very fine job. This enabled Coach Colby to spend all of his time with the varsity. BASKETBALL B SQUAD Back row: R. E. Dolan, Coachg Dick Van Nostern, Joe Capistran, Norman Aller. From row: Joe Hecker, Alvin Meyers, Bill Irsfeld. Wapato was placed in the Northern Class A league in the valley. Out of the six teams in the league Wapato had to place at least fourth to get a berth in the Valley tourney. They lost the fourth place berth to Yakima when Toppenish, who had not as yet won a game, toppled the Wolves in the last league game. Wapato had the satisfaction, though, of beating Ellensburg, alley Champions, in a thrilling over- time game and also defeating the vaunted Yakima Pirates in a return encounter. Five seniors played their last basketball game for Wapato against Grandview. These five were Dan Falen, last year's inspirational player, George Murphy, Dick Maib, Wilbirr Kwak, and Bob Parnell. Out of these Seniors, Bob Parnell, was voted the coveted honor of inspirational player and Dick Maib was voted honorary captain. Parnell, who was named honorary captain on last year's team, was an excel- lent ball handler and a valuable rebound man. Maib, who took over the center duties, was a good ball hawk and also a valuable rebounder. JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL Bark row: C. E.

Baseball took on considerably more interest at Wapato this year because the Wolves were last year's valley champions and because a league to climax in a big state tourney was formed. Coach Pierce had nearly his entire varsity back with additional of several more talented players. On the pitching staff was George Murphy, Don Kohls and Alvin Myers. Homer Dalton played behind the plate with Richard Maib at first, Gene Elder at second, john Geffe' at third, and Bob Parnell at short. Dick Van Nostern, Verlan Clem, and Tomio Uchida were utility infields. In the outfield were Bill Stobaugh, Wilbur Kwak, Dan Falen, Bill Green, and Lyle Noble. Coach Harmon Colby's track men worked diligently and showed up well in the meets. Facilities and equipment are very limited and considering these factors the team, under the captaining of Pete Hoyt, has done very well. Wapato won a triangular meet with Toppenish and Goldendale and came in fourth in the big invitational at Yakima. lgfff' Z, ,, ' 't'2 1 - .. at x 2 1 if to -f is L r...., T 'Y ' . p , Z ,.
