Lefl to fight: Rilla Quantrille, Darlene Trudeau, Mary Anna Hoyt, Lenora Eichler, Mr. Granholm, john Geffe, Dick Maib, Richard Eichler, june Polley, Bill Simonis, Calvin Radach, Trixanna Thompson, Bob Parnell. gazed of Under the auspices of the Board of Control, headed by president Richard Maib, with Calvin Ra- dach as vice president, Trixie Thompson as secretary, Darlene Trudeau as treasurer, Bill Simonis as social chairman, Lenora Eichler as assistant social chairman, Rilla Quantrille as advertising manager, Bob Parnell, Boys' Club president, june Polley, Girls' Club president, Calvin Radach, Senior class presi- dent, John Geffe, Junior class president, Mary Anna Hoyt, Sophomore class president, and Richard Eich- ler, Freshman class president, the Associated Student Body began its term, September 3, 1945, the first time any of the present high school classes had experienced a peacetime high school. 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.

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.

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.
