As the days pass slowly away, the Class of '51 looks back on its three-year high school record with satisfaction and pride. In our sophomore year we were headed by Ray Brown, President, Jim Crow, Vice-President, jo- anne Culver, Secretary, Sherman Knight, Treasurer, Pat Rodman, Social Chairman. We were fairly ac- tive in sports as Sherman Knight and George Nickoloff lettered in football. g In our junior year the officers were Ted Cummings, President, Homer Baldwin, Vice-President, Shirley Fowler, Secretary, Bill Schroeder, Treasurer, Marlane Hughey, Social Chairman. As juniors we were active in almost everything around our Alma Mater. The outstanding event was the junior Prom where Kay Geffe reigned as Queen with Carole King, Bernadine O'Shea, Shirlene Sar- tin, and Pat Rodman as her princess. We were also active in sports and other activities. As our last year of high school passes before our eyes, we find that the seniors have their hands in all the activities. The class is headed by Ed Brandt, President, Joanne Culver, Vice-President, Delmar Stover, Secretary, Stan Hosman, Treasurer, Bernadine O'Shea, Social Chairman. Senior members who are presidents of other organizations are George Griffith, A. S. B., Sherman Knight, Boys' Club, Kay Geffe, Girls' Club, George Nicholoff, Red Devils and IF. F. A., Erma Rae Crosier, Pep Club, Virginia Campbell, G. A. C., and Bob Russ, Lettermen's Club. Herbert Henley was Valedictorian, and Ed Brandt and jim Crow were Salutatorians. Yes, we can say our class was very successful in high school. As we go on our own way in life, we will never forget our Alma Mater, Ole Wa Hi. 6 CARL CLARK-Guidance Committee 10, 125 A. S. B.

Our class participated in the activities held during the year with a great deal of enthusiasm. Some of the girls were members of Pep Club, and several of the boys belonged to the Red Devils and the Letter- rnen's club. G. A. C. was also popular for the girls. The junior boys helped lead the teams to successful football and basketball seasons as well as joining in the spring sports. Our class party was held in February. Dancing and games were the chief entertainment. Our Hearts Were Young and Gay was the student body play in which several of our class participated. The Junior Prom was the highlight of the year. It Was held on May 4. - We want to thank our advisers, Mr. Whitley, Miss Mesick, and Mr. Snodgrassg and our counselor, Miss Reed, for their leadership and contribution to a successful year. i 5 TQP PICTURE: Second row: Dick Smith, David Nissen, Tom Heuterman, David Mobley.

Shortly after school started on September 5, the sophomores were grateful for the Sophomore Mixer that was given in their honor, for at it we became acquainted with the older students, it made us feel that we were accepted into high school. From our class, this year hailed a few outstanding sportsmen. jerry Perrotti won the unusual distinction for a sophomore of being on the all-state football team. We also had Don Myers, who skipped from the B-Squad in the middle of the season to play on the first five in the A-Squad basketball team. As all classes we hope that our boys prove to be steady, Willing athletes who will give everything they have to their high school sports. The girls were active in G. A. C. this year. In the play-off for the all-star team, the winning team was headed by a sophomore girl, Elsie johnson. We were well represented on the Board of Control this year by our class president, Don Myers. Our guidance com- mittee, which was headed by Birdie Burgess, brought to us some very interesting talks by different people around town, telling us the advantages and disadvantages of their occupations. Jeanine Early, janet Mitchell, Janet Dunn, and Virginia Bale appeared in the student body play. A On December 23, our social chairman, Beatrice O'Shea, had our class assembly ready to begin. It was a joyous event when Santa Claus, portrayed by Blaine Hardy, came out in full glory and took us into his workshop to see his toys at play. At the end, as we left, Santa opened up his bag and gave us candy as we went through the doors to start a week s vacation. On Friday, April 13, the theme of Black Magic was used for our sophomore party. At the party many superstitious students had to be careful for most of the superstitions of the past were brought out and used for decorations. Music at the party was furnished by trusty Old-Man Juke Box and his Merry Records. To Mr. Neilson, Mr. Chissus, Mrs. Moore, Mr. Bunnell, our advisers, and Miss Tenney, our counselor, go many thanks, for Without their help throughout the year it would not have been a successful one. Our sophomore year will be remembered by all. During this year we have grown in understanding and knowledge. Some day we will be grateful for the enthusiastic leadership and the willingness of our advisers who gave of their time to promote us in that understanding and knowledge, for what we do now will help to make us stronger and more useful citizens of the future. Hail to thee our Alma Mater, for therein lies our happiest years. 16 l 2 E E Third raw: Gary Swart, Ray Simchen, Ray Thomas, Norio Takayama, Dick Volkman, Ed Scott, Jim Thomas, Bob Paul.

The senior play, Mother Is a Freshman was presented November 16 and 18. The play begins in the living-room of Abigail Abbott's home where Abigail and Susan are discussing Susan's plans for college. Abigail has decided to attend college with Susan, her daughter, and nothing Susan can say or do will change Abigail's mind. The rest of the play takes place in the Green Hall Girl's Dormitory. Here we meet a few of the college students in- cluding Bobo jackson, the campus big shot. We also meet Dean Gillingham and Professor Michaels. Susan believes she is in love with Professor Michaels, and Bobo is trying to win her love with no success. Abigail finds herself in love with Professor Michaels but does not want to hurt Susan. Professor Michaels thinks of Susan as a child and falls in love with Abigail. Bobo then gives a big play for Abigail but finds he can not make Susan jealous that way. The play ends with Bobo and Susan together at long last, and Susan also has a new stepfather, Professor Michaels. 25 fi S 3 pkg--'Um Www Wm may and Quan UPPER LEFT PICTURE: Seromi row: Mary Ellen Nelson, Stewardess, Bonnie Maitlen, Harriet St. john, Virginia Bale, Winifred Blaugh, Murlin Gillis, Steward, janet Mitchell, Inspector, Bob Heikell, Admiral.

The Wapato associated student body presented its annual play on March 50 and 31. Written by Cornelia Skinner and Emily Kimbrough, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay is the story of Cornelia and Emily as they venture alone, on their first voyage, from America to Paris. While on board the ship, the steward, who is continually hauling in the girls' trunks, is aggravated by Emily's continual fear of the ship's hitting an iceberg. The two girls meet two American boys, Leo McEvoy and Dick Winters, with whom they become well acquainted. just before the boat docks, Cornelia catches the measles, and Dick and Leo get her past the health inspector with her face whitened with powder to cover the red spots. In Paris, Cornelia arranges to take acting lessons from Monsieur de la Croix, a French actor, but he is interested only in meeting her father, Otis Skinner, an American actor, and, when Otis walks out on him after a very cool recep- tion, he tells Cornelia she has no talent whatsoever for actin g. She bewails this fact, but her father assures her she has possibilities doing monologues in the American theatre. So Emily and Cornelia sail for home with fond memories of Paris and their French vacation. 24 1 9 4 Hmm Q X W 1 w 1 1 w Y Y w f N W l I F 26 actin!! b M .WM Seromi-row: Allen Strong, Anthony Andreas, George-Nickoloff, Earl Menard, jim Bauer, Bill Abella, Harry Umemoto, Elmer Sagara, Jerri Perrotti Alex Garcia, Sherman Knight.

Q9 V .. x X A0 .gay PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE The current edition of the Wasehian provides a historical recording of our school activities and achievements during the past year. As you, in the future, look back upon the year 1950-51 you may point with pride to one of the most outstanding records in the history of our school. Of far greater importance, however, will be the record which still remains for you to establish. For, if our nation and the way of life which we have come to cherish is to prevail, it will be necessary for us to attack our future obligations with an even greater vigor and sincerity of purpose than has exemplified our ef- forts during the past year. Witli our country and the civilized world fac- ing the grave perils of today, it is our sincere hope that experiences gained in the school year 1950-51 may, in some measure, assist you in the greater ef- forts you will be called upon to make in order that this nation and the free world may be preserved. PHILIP R. SYRDAL, Principal 34 SUPERIN TEN DEN T'S MESSAGE This year proves that we cannot take the future for granted. The only thing of which we can be sure is change. All of us know many people who are compelled to change their entire life plan through no fault of their own. Their success will depend upon their ability to adjust themselves to new situations, and this will depend upon the kind and degree of their education. Those taking the easy way will find it hard to meet all demands upon them while those able to discipline them- selves through education will find themselves able to make adjustments easily, and this for them will spell success. It will be interesting to look into this year's annual in the years to come. It will recall to our minds the various classmates, and we can measure them in accordance with their contributions. Let us hope all in the book will meet with success! H. J. KRAMER, Sujlerizzlefzdeul gddfldqg ' Left zo right: Virgil Cameron, Fred Olsen, Chairmang Frank Labberton, Malford Elliott, H. J.

The school board members give their time freely. They meet regularly to discuss and settle school problems to help the children and young people of our community. This year they authorized the remodeling of four rooms in the junior high into a new biology room and a new home economics room. We wish to thank the school board for helping to make our years in the senior high school enjoyable and pleasant. iv, 55 7wfZfa MR. DOORNINK Agriculture F. F. A. Adviser MR.

The Red Devils Club is a service organization consisting of twenty boys' It has a membership which rates ex- tremely high among the students at Wapato High. It has held this enviable position throughout rts entire existance in the school, and it has always been the ambition of every boy to one day become a member of this live organization. .To gain membership in this club, one must first be voted on by all the present members. The organization makes up a list of boys who will make good members. Then they vote on them, picking twelve from the sophomore class and ' ' l t' . The new members are sixteen from the junior class. The student body then vote on them during the spring e ec ions then reduced to eight from the Junior class and six from the sophomore class. The Red Devils Club has been a symbol of authority for twenty-one years. The club was organized by a group of boys in 1930. The duty of this organization is to patrol at games, to maintain order in the halls, and to assist in fire drills. With the help of their adviser, Mr. Chissus, the Red Devils had a successful year. 45 alma mmm of :4mez6ca bane row: johnny Broyles, Vice-President, Doyle Nelson Sentinel' joe Bort Treasurer.

The Wapato Chapter of the Future Farmers of America under the supervision of their advisers, Mr. Hardy and Mr. Doornink, have completed an educational and profitable year. The year started with the initiation of thirty-five green hand members and twenty-six Chapter Farmers. The F. F. A. also had a float in the Labor Day parade which placed second in the agriculture division. The officers provided much of the drive needed to put many of the successful projects over. Some of these were the public speaking contest held at Selah in which Carmon Hardy placed first and Earl Rowley second. The Ag Bawl was another successful undertaking. Carol Strothers was queen. The members of the F. F. A. also did very well at the Central Washington Fair. Members took the first four places in the fitting and showing of swine. The beef and sheep divisions also provided many prizes for Wapato boys. Two state prizes were awarded to Wapato F. F. A. boysg these were first prize for farm mechanics which went to john Broyles and second prize for his knowledge of F. F. A. to John Mauch. Probably the biggest achievement gained by the Wapato Chapter was the parlimentary procedure team. This team won all the district, sub-district, and local meets and went on to the state meet and came out in fourth place. The team members were john Mauch, Carmon Hardy, jim Brown, Earl Rowley, Allen Strong, and Otis Holwegner. 'lose Agbisit and Bob Hale served as alternates. The last thing of the year was the spring stock show held in the Wapato Park. The show consisted of seventy head of swine, twenty head of beef, five head of sheep, and four head of dairy cattle. Congratulations go to Mr. Hardy and Mr. Doornink for all the time they spent promoting F. F. A. ideas.

In this way variety is achieved in the arrangement of copy and pictures. Soon after school started last fall, the editor, business manager, assistant editor, and adviser attended an annual conference at the University of Washington. Here they found many ideas which have proved helpful in the production of this year's Wasehian. Three members of the staff attended the student conference at Ellensburg. This year the Board of Control allowed S1200 from the A. S. B. cards, which were sold at the first of the year, for the annual. This amount was supplemented by the sale of acknowledgments. There is much more work to the annual than there seems. There are about sixty pictures in the annual. The pho- tography class, under the able direction of Mr. Middleton, takes most of the pictures for the annual. They take many more pictures than the staff uses in order to get the best pictures possible. The staff spends much of its time planning the dummy, making contacts with the engraver, printer, and photogra- pher, making layouts for all pictures, writing the copy, and proofreading. In this way the yearbook becomes a student pro- duction. The Wasehian staff hopes that you have enjoyed reading your annual and, in the years to come, that you will use it to help recall fond memories and recollections of your high school days. 50 WM Zen' Www THESE ARE THE BOOSTERS FOR THE 1951 WASEHIAN Babb's Sawyer Cafe Bower's Shurfine Market N.
