Many Difficulfies ASHBIIRN WAHIAN VOLUME XVII MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, I944 96 PAGES 17th ANNUAL PUBLISHED The Wahian staff is dedicating its seventeenth annual to the students of Washburn who are now in the armed forces. A great number of our alumni have given their allg others, who would have graduated with our own class, left to participate in the conflict for a better world. We probably could not attempt to guess the horrors they have seen or what battles they have been in, but we do know that every VVashburn boy is doing his part to win the war. Girls from Washburn also are in uniform and are indirectly bringing recognition to our school by their achievements in the various branches of the service. We feel that our former Washburnites would like to know that we are thinking of them. Thus, by taking a newspaper as our theme, we hope to make not only a memory book for the seniors but also to give former classmates who are serving our country an inside view on the events of the past year at Washburn. tiki ON THE INSIDE Calvin Gerde, Bob Kintz, and Francis Kocourek are typical of the many G'mCfa1NfWS 't ' Pages 1' 4 VVashburn alums who return to visit lfmuafy Seniors -A -Pages 540 their school during leaves from the Activities uuluu QHVA P ages 11.16 armed service.

The future seemed dark for the Wahian late last fall when a contract had not yet been made with a photog- rapher nor with a printer. Late in November, however, our advisors suc- ceeded in making an agreement with Miller Studio to take the graduation pictures and a limited number of in- formal shots. The Bureau of Engraving was then obtained to do the printing and engraving. By the time it was de- cided that we could have an annual, it was well into December, and the staff had not been chosen. As a result of this late start, it was extremely difficult to prepare material on Ianuary seniors before their graduation. However, the Ianuary Wahian Committee was able to submit some copy on the graduates although they did not have time to arrange for informal pictures. Despite the cutting down of about twenty pages and the fact that less than a thousand dollars could be used for picture engravings, the 1944 Wahi- an still contains the same amount of homeroom, faculty, club, and gradua- tion pictures. Our newspaper theme has proved to be very timely, as the smaller type and compact filling of columns help to conserve precious space. Considering the fact that many high schools are not having an annual at all this year and that others are merely having a thin pamphlet, we can be proud of the effort put forth by Wash- burn students. Regardless of the shortages of essen- tial material and labor, the Wahian staffs have endeavored to provide a yearbook in which one can still find the true spirit of Washburn students. 2-WASHBURN WAHIAN I944 ir 537 Graduate Commencement exercises were held for the mid-year class of 1944 on the evening of january 27. .To strains from Aida,,' 127 seniors marched up the aisles to take their places on the stage. The girls were lovely, wearing black formals and carrying bouquets of red roses, the boys wore suits be-decked with white carnations. Following the invocation by Rev. L. C. Burns, Betty Ann Tritle sang, and Beverly johnson played a piano solo. Fred Mueller gave the Salu- tatory address, followed by the Vale- dictory speeches of Marion Sundberg and Patty Peeke. After solos by Gerry Palmer, Marilyn Sherf, and Dorothy Lundquist, awards were announced. This procedure led up to the main event of the evening-the presentation of diplomas by Mr. MacQuarrie. Be- sides being given to the january class, diplomas were also received by parents .of boys who graduated with credits earned in the armed service. Their commencement over, the grad- uates then left the stage and marched down the aisle to the recessional from K'Athalia. ,E ,E it Although not much can be written in advance of the june commencement, we do know that this class, composed of 410 members, will be the largest ever graduated from Washburn. P. T. A. Organized at Washburn The Hrst meeting of a Washburn Parent Teachers Association was held in january. At this meeting a committee was nominated to make up the by-laws for the or- ganization. At the next meeting the fol- lowing officers were elected: Mr. Petri, president, Mr. Emmett, vice presidentg Mrs. Wahlquist, corresponding secretary, Mrs. Burlingame, recording secretary, and Mr. Bergford, treasurer. There is a representative from 12B and one from 12A who meet with the executive board. These representatives were elect- ed by their respective classes. The aim of the P.T.A. is to develop greater coordination be- tween parents, teachers, and pu- pils. Washburn Students Invest 330,524.00 In war Effort Washburn's sincere desire to aid our service men and women has resulted in two waribond and stamp drives being held during the past year. With Mr. Frogen as chairman of the fall drive, Miss Dowling, Miss Blessin, Mr. jackson, and Miss Baker completed the advisory committee. Each home room's solicitors were boys from Sparks Hi-Y and girls from Sigma Phi Girl Reserves. The school was di- vided into two teams. The tenth grade and eleven Bls comprising the Navy and the eleven A's and twelfth grade forming the Army. Washburn's goal was the purchase of three jeeps. Students and faculty surpassed their goal with a total sales of 1515,287.50, which was sufficient for the purchase of five jeeps. Washburn Makes Plans For Gold Star Memorial In the hopes of creating a lasting me- morial to the boys and girls of Wash- burn who have given their lives in this war, the student body and faculty have been gathering together funds for a monument to honor these dead. We have set up a goal of 152,000 which will be realized by this june. Through various projects such as the Christmas Chorus collections, tickets sold for the Twin City football game, the paper sale, and the Senior class gifts, we have now gotten together 151,714.72 toward this total. We hope that this memorial will show a little of our real appreciation of the supreme effort of those who were expendable. Moreover, because many of these former Washburn students never had a chance to establish themselves outside of school, this tribute will stand as the only lasting record in their memory. Although this war is not yet over, the following nineteen boys and one girl are already on our Washburn Gold Star Memorial List: Harvey j. Anderson, june 1939. William Bark, june 1943. Lewis Craswell, january 1936. William Crawhall, june 1933. Vernon Delin, February 1934. Burton Duntley, janu- ary 1940. john Greathouse, February 1933. Madalon Louise Hol, january 1941. William Holm, january 1936. Willard johnson, janu- ary 1937. William johnson, june 1938. Reed King, june 1937. Charles Kunz, june 1938. Thomas Lasley, january 1942. Dick Lenvik, left before graduation. Robert McDonald, june 1936. james j. Owens, june 1934. Nor- man Pearson, june 1939. james Powers, june 1934. jack Shirk, january 1939. john Som- mers, january 1936. George Sutton, june 1939. Alvin Tinker, june 1936. Richard Wenham, june 1936. Earl Westafer, june 1937. The second drive, held from Febru- ary 7th through the 24th, was opened by an auditorium at which Captain Paul Rusch was the speaker. Mr. Rusch's experiences in a japanese con- centration camp made us all realize how important our bond campaigns really are. Washburn's Treasure Hunt for partly filled stamp books resulted in 141 books being turned in. Bond generals at work: Williams, Borrett, Snedeker, Wahlquist The school was again divided into two teams, the Orange and the Blue. A boy and girl general headed each army which was subdivided into four squads. Each squad was in turn head- ed by a boy and girl captain who di- rected the work of the sellers. The goal being a trainer plane, each team was named for some type of airplane. With a total of 1,501 orders, the sales mount- ed to 1514,232.65. We are proud of the fact that the trainer plane paid for with our money will have a plate placed in it, stating that it was purchased by Washburn High School. For distinguished services in behalf of the War Savings Program, Wash- burn was awarded a certificate by Hen- ry Morgenthau. 'A' I944 WASHBURN WAHIAN-3 Wahian I944 Editors-in-Chief ..,...

Although some Wahianites may have com- plained that slavery has again come into its own because of hard-driving editors, almost all of the staff will agree that it has been much more fun than drudgery . It is true that most of our copy narrowly made deadlines, and pictures had a habit of disappearing. Perhaps the latter was caused by the mad dash of staff members to see newly-arrived prints .... One day our spirits were lifted when two sailors found their way to 218 and serenaded us with a 12 inch record of HSing, Sing, Sing .... Then there were the staff members who worked down- town on Mondays. How they had to dash away after fifth period to escape be- ing put to work by uSimon Legreen Claeson! . . . Another memory will be the over-joyed expression on Miss Trowbridge's face whenever she saw those noisy editorial staffers coming in the door .... Nice, too, were the days when we had ice-cream if we stayed especially late into the afternoon to work .... The marble hall between the art room and 218 was worn thin by art members trying to flnd parts of the dummy which had been taken off by some unknowing edi- torial quirk .... On the glum side is the memory of trying to count characters , when a few of the less-working staff MY ARRIVAL The busy students helpfully trampled me in the halls as I clung to. my shiny, new, blue notebook with the metal rings. I was proud of the initials W.H.S. which I had joyfully printed on with orange crayon the night before. I elbowed my way up to my home room, 317, where everyone was engaged in speaking combination pidgin English and pig Latin. Hearing this, I began to feel really intellectual. fDaaaj Miss Olson, my advisor, then distributed our program members were going through the lines By Beverly Schoen of Little Nelll' .... Then there was the rumor that kept going around that Mr. Claeson was leaving for the army in ten days. CWhat will we editors do?j .... But on the whole, good ex- periences outnumbered the unpleasant, and we have all survived! schedules, and everybody received hers except one person .... When l asked for mine in the oflice, everyone flew into a fit of pique as I was a 1013. I think that was the reason, for don't people usually pound on the counter for attention? A short while later I journeyed to my third hour class-study. I walked in and out of 312 four times before I discovered the room wasn't under construction with a few walls missing. After this I found my way to the lunchroom, being escorted by the usual riot squad. More difiiculties, and the first day was over. I had sur- vived-obviously? Now I really enjoy my daily obstacle course at Washburn and have as big a collection of signed passes as any A seniorl Washburn made paper sale news on March 30, when a total of 75 tons of paper was collected. In a house-to-house campaign, the paper was gathered to- gether in volunteer trailers. The S5626 raised went to the fund for our gold star memorial. CSee page 95.5 4--WASHBURN WAHIAN I944 i' LEADERSHIP AND GUIDANCE Mr. MacQuarrie Completes Nineteenth Year THEY ADVISE US Miss Christensen is WHSl1bl1fD,S girls' counselor. She helps the girls plan their programs so that they are most benefited. She also gives any information about college to the seniors. Many students come to her for help with personal prob- lems because she is so sympathetic and helpful. Mr. Wells, boys' counselor, usually helps the boys with similar problems, but this year his duties are quite diff ferent. Most of the boys are planning to enter the armed services in the near future, so he has been occupied with the tests and records necessary for their entrance. Both counselors help the seniors in all the details of graduation, one of which is the senior aptitude test. Prob- lems of scholarship, from supervising unsatisfactory students to helping select National Honor Society members, fall to their lot. Another indispensable at VVashburn is Mr. Fleenor, our assistant principal. His Work never ends. Each semester he adjusts all class schedules and han- dles all book sales. He manages the financial part of all athletic games and is Wahian business adviser. Miss Lund, who is the chief clerk, keeps track of the records and the Hnancial business. The credits are taken care of by Miss Green, and all absentees are recorded by Miss Pearson. Miss Eustis Cinsetj is the visiting teacher Mac Reminisces VVhen VVashburn was established in 1925, Mr. A. li. MacQuarrie became principal. According to Mr. MacQuar- rie, instead of Frank Sinatra and the A'Lindy, Rudolph Valentino and the A'Charlestonw were current fads then. K'Macu even admits that back in those uflapper daysl' his gray hairs Were comparatively few. As Washburn was made up of both junior and senior high students, club activities were doubled. Mr. MacQuarrie,s desire for student representation was the basis l MR. MacQUARRIE for the student council. Another one of Mr. MacQuarrie,s special interests is his plan for the National Honor So- ciety which has been copied by schools throughout the United States. He ad- vocates electing students according to scholarship, service, and character. Mr. MacQuarrie says that his greatest sat- isfaction through his years as principal comes from watching students progress through the school and meeting them in their various phases of life after graduation. it I944 WASHBURN WAHIAN-5 JANUARY SE IORS Ianuary Class Officers: President, Ralph Eide: Vice-President, Phyllis Peterson, secretary, Betty Murdockg we missed the treasurer, Bill Holtc, because of his entrance into the armed service Fred Mueller and Bill Holle Now Serving Their Coun+ry The 12A class oflicers were Ralph Eide, president, Phyllis Peterson, vice presi- dent, Betty Murdock, secretary, and Bill Holte, treasurer. The candidates were nominated from the class at large. Ralph Eide was a member of the track team, the ski team, and Hi-Y. He was Washburn's star pole-vaulter. Besides being vice president of her Commercial Club, and a member of V.O.S. Girl Reserves, U.C., National Honor Society, Ofiice Board, Student Council, and the Records Committee. Phyllis plans to attend Gustavus Adol- phus. Betty Murdock served on the G.A.A. and Library Boards. She belonged to U.C., Girl Reserves, and Spanish Club. VVhile at VVashburn she received her letter and was elected to National Hon- or Society. The treasurer of the IZA class, Bill Holte, was on the basketball team, the track team, and was a member of the Credit Bureau. Two valedictorians and one saluta- torian were chosen from the extremely small Ianuary class. Marion Sundberg and Patricia Peeke, the two valedictorians, main- tained an A average throughout their high school careers. Marion was active cl ass, Phyllis Peterson was president of in Spanish Club, Commercial Club, Magnets Girl Reserves, and U.C. Her plans for college have not been decided. Pat was a member of Latin Club, Li- brary Board, Grist Stafi and G.A.A. Board. She was a WH and City-wide wearer. Pat is thinking of attending Oberlin College. The salutatorian, Fred Mueller, had a scholastic average of 2.90. Cogs Hi-Y and the Credit Bureau took most of his spare time in his senior year. Fred entered the army after graduation. All three students were chosen mem- bers of the National Honor Society. Editor's note: Because of the un- certainty of this year's Wahian the pho- tographer did not take a picture of the valedictorians before graduation. If you wish to see their pictures please turn to page 8 for Fred Mueller, page 9 for Patty Peekeg page 10 for Marion Sundberg. SMALLEST CLASS GRADUATES On Ianuary 27, 1944, 130 seniors grad- uated. Nine boys in the armed forces also received diplomas. This was one of the smallest and most varied classes to graduate from Washburn. Because of the war, twenty-nine students com- pleted their course at summer and eve- ning schools. Many of the boys left for the service immediately after gradua- tion, including Bill Holte, the class treasurer. The seniors marched down the aisle to the strains of the Triumphal March from i'Aida', which very well might have been Mendelssohn's Spring Songf' The weather was characteristic of spring with rain ushered in by bal- my breezes to dampen the spirits of the wartime graduates. This class was the first to contribute a gift of 25165 to the Gold Star me- morial fund. The students of Wash- burn have set aside money earned in the past year for this fund including profits from the paper sale, the inter- city championship football game, and the Christmas Chorus. The Ianuary seniors participated in numerous activities throughout their final year. They had 'LThe Hit Paraden for the theme of their mixer. The par- ticipants came dressed as song titles, and a record crowd turned out. The Baccalaureate Service conducted at St. Luke's Episcopal Church gave inspira- tion and hope to the graduates, their parents, and their friends for the criti- cal times that lie ahead. Another thing that distinguishes this class from former ones is the fact that no class play was produced. The Board of Health asked that no audiences as- semble because of the flu epidemic in the city. The war has changed the plans of many following graduation. Many girls have enrolled in the Cadet Nurse Corps, others have gone into war work. Some boys have gone to the university to complete at least a quarter before entering training, others have gone di- rectly into the service. 6--WASHBURN WAHIAN I944 'A' JO ANN AMUNDSON DELROSE ANDERSON ALBERT ASCHENRECK CONSTANCE AULD JACK seem: ' ELAINE nenoem MARY PAUL BERG ROBERT BERGREN E JEAN BERGSTROM RICHARD BERGUSON tee seawrwzor sAizwu. atutoex WINTER SCENE The seniors held their annual banquet on Ianuary 25.

A'SnowHakes was the title of Mr. Henley's oration while Mr. MacQuarrie's was called A'The Last Snowfallf' Other speakers were Betty Murdock, Bill Holte, and Dick Burgu- son. Ierome Chapman and Iohn Archie Peterson chose to enter the armed services before rc- cciving their diplomas. The pupils of Wlish- burn wish them the hcst of luck. FIVE AWARDS PRESENTED TO JAN. SENIORS Five seniors were presented with awards in recognition of their out- standing accomplishments in various Fields. Dick Berguson was given the Leonard Moses Award because he sur- passed his classmates in athletics. The Star-Iournal gave their award of S10 to Carolyn McLean for her service to the school. Fred Mueller received the llausch-Lomb Award on recommen- dation of the faculty for his great prog- ress in the held of science. The Hope McDonald Award of S5 on Inter- national Understanding was presented to Barbara Blaylock by the VVorld Af- fairs Council of Minneapolis.

In compliance with this order, the play was cancelled. This was the first time in Wash- burn's history that a play that was scheduled was not presented. The HH Parade The Hit Paradew was the theme chosen for the mixer held on Ianuary 31. All the seniors were dressed as song titles. Clowns, cows, and other funny sights were seen in the halls throughout the day. Wilmot Holtzman as Tea for Twoi' and Elaine Matson and Alice Stern as A Bicycle Built for Twow received prizes for the best cos- tumes. Voted the most original was Lee Bernhardt as c'Night and Day. Don Poboisk, the master of ceremo- nies, led the seniors through their antics. A skit was given by Mary Ste- vens, Pug Amunson, and Carolyn Cory.

Carolyn Mc- Lean, Charlotte Chamberlain, and Dick Berguson participated in the worship service. The seniors felt that they received help and sound guidance for the trying days ahead. .ztaem .

Mr. MaeQuarrie gave Pat her diploma and the bouquet she would have carried down the aisles of her alma mater. It was Pat's first visit to the hospital, but she said it was fun after the pain had stopped. Pat returned home Ianu- ary 31st, and when she sufficiently re- covers Pat will go to work at the Northwestern Bank.

Her activi- ties before, during, and after school were enough to take anyoneis breath away. She was very interested in Girl Reserves, and was on the Blue Tri Cabinet, Carolyn served on the Library Board, the G.A.A. Board, and U.C. Cabinet. She was an industrious and outstanding worker in Washburn's war bond drives. As if this weren't enough, Carolyn was third page editor of the Grist, and a member of Harlequin and Politix Clubs.

The twelve members are elected by their classmates on thc basis of character and leadership. There are two members from the tenth grade. This year the Iohnsons, Bill and Dick, held these positions. When they be- come juniors, four members are elect- ed. The eleven B members were Dick Speer and Frank Bonello while Peter Karos and Margaret O'Brien represent- ed the eleven A's. The two senior classes have the privilege of three stu- dents in each grade to represent them. The twelve B's were Iim Stark, Bill Sherman, and Bob Gold. Dottie Bre- micker, Bob Appel, and Frank Chase are the A senior representatives. The Ianuary '44 class was represented by Phyllis Peterson, Dick Berguson. and Bill Holte. The Student Council, to- gether with Mr. MacQuarrie, makes plans for homecoming and audito- riums. At graduation, life membership is given to the students who survive the votes of fellow-councilors. Office Board 'KMay l please have a tardy pass to get into class?l' Did Mr. Fleenor send for mc? These are only a few of the many repeated questions which the Office Board finds it must answer daily. The ofiice is the hub about which the entire school life revolves. Unlike many places of business, this ofiice is the scene of much confusion which results from students running in and out and telephones which are ringing. This activity center covers a lot of ground as it contains the offices of Mr. MacQuarrie, Mr. Fleenor, the boy and girl counsellors, and the nurse. Of course, we mustn't forget to men- tion the Ubenchw which is usually oc- cupied by someone who has been un- ruly in study hall. Here also is the book which graduates in the service are asked to sign when visiting their Halma materl' on a furlough. In order to be on this efficient staff you must be a 12A girl who has taken a commercial course, and be willing to give up your study and gym periods to this work. Sorting the mail, operat- ing the adding machines, calling homes of absentees, and filing grades and re- port cards are the duties of this board. A semi-annual job, which is also done by this staff, is arranging the hundreds of student programs. This is a tremen- dous iob, and the office clerks would find it very diHicult without the com- mercial students' help.

Best-All-Around In ational Honor Have you had A's on your report card from kindergarten through eleven H? Do all your teachers smile at you? Have you applied through the O.P.A. for extra oil to burn while you are study- ing after dark? Do you study during your study periods? It you meet all the aforementioned requirements you are eligible to become a member of the National Honor Society. Seriously though, being elected to National Honor is one of the greatest honors of high school life. For many years Mr. MacQuarrie has been active- ly associated with National Honor, which is a nation-wide organization. Mr. MacQ'uarrie,s plan for a working membership has been adopted as a national plan. Students in the upper one-fourth of their eleven A or twelve B classes are eligible to become mem- bers. These votes are based on scholar- ship, leadership, character and service. Probably the most important service the group performs is their coopera- tion With the grade schools during the various rationing programs. Many of the members returned to the grade school from which they graduated. Working with their former teachers turned out to involve more fun than work. The traditional method of informing new members that they have been chosen is to assign each old member a prospective newcomer's name. Then at a special National Honor auditori- um the members go down into the audience and find the lucky person. -rio-14 WASAHBURNV WAMHIAN-I3 LIBRARY BOARD-Front of desk: McCann, Orbeck, Pfundcr, Dahl, Tomlinson, XVash, Mueller, Holmes . . .

Sfage Crew Dim the Hoodsu and pull the cur- tainn are the cries which can be heard coming from back stage at almost any time of day or night. These com- mands are issued by the members of the stage crew. This crew is constantly on the go, for they prepare the stage, microphone, lights, and what-have-you for every affair that takes place in the auditorium. The work doesn't stop on the stage, however, as capable persons must be on hand at the mixers to han- dle the loudspeaking system, and ex- perienced hands must run the class- room films. Before the outdoor auditoriums the familiar testing, one-two-threew can be heard throughout the school. All this work is done so that we might better enjoy the sports events and an- nouncements. Ever-present at the foot- ball games, we seldom think about the broadcasting tools, but there isn't a sports fan in Washburn who wouldnt notice them if they were missing. The beautiful coloring achieved at the Christmas Chorus program by the various colored 'fspotsu is another ex- ample of the work done by these boys. Mr. Parsons helps to plan and perfect the activities of this crew, but usually they are on their own. Stage and sound equipment is old stuffw to most of the members, who re- ceived training and instructions as to their care and use in Ramsey. This hard-working staff doesn't re- ceive a great deal of praise for their many efforts, but they have the satis- faction of knowing that they are a vital part of every program.

For this reason Miss Brown has formulated a plan for student assistance. The library board consists of a group of girls who have good marks, and have been rec- ommended by one of the English teach- ers. Some of the members work before and after school, while others work during their study periods. Duties of library members include everything from occasionally dusting off the book shelves to sneaking the latest Time magazine down to Mr. Frogen, before the rest of the faculty begins to ask if it has yet arrived. An- other job the girls are frequently called upon to perform is to explain to the boys that K'Paris Underground and 'ABombs Awayn are not in, and to the girls that 'LPovvers Girlsn and Seven- teenth Summerv have a long waiting list. Along with all the fun the girls have in the library there are a few jobs that the board members attend to only because Miss Brown asks them to in her very sweetest voice. Number one on the list is, of course, collecting fines from Hdelinquentu book borrow- ers. Running a very close second is risking their lives by climbing up the ladder in the magazine room to get the 1926 issue of some pamphlet.

This paper comes out twice a month, and if you went into the Grist room the Tuesday afternoon of the deadline, you would wonder what was happening. Editors yelling at assistants and the pounding of type- writers would tell you that the Grist will really come out on Thursday at Palmer and Stan Langland. Stan took the job alone during the spring term. Dorothy Lanham managed to edit the second page all year. Carolyn McLean worked on third page news, but after mid-year graduation Don Borrman took charge of the page.

The faculty committee in charge of the sale of war bonds and stamps has completed a successful year. Under their supervision and guidance, the third war loan drive, which ended December seventh, was entirely satisfactory. Positive proof of this is found in the figures which show that thirteen jeeps were purchased. Spurred on by the enthusiasm put into this drive. Mr. Iackson, chairman of the committee, Miss Blessin, Miss Dowling, Miss Denison, Mr. Frogen and Mr. Sunde went on to organize the fourth war- ALL STARS! Washburn has sent three mem- bers to the armed service and two into war work. Among these is Lt. Col. Ianes, former chem- istry teacher, who is now in charge of the division of chemi- cal warfare in Washington, D. C. Another army man is Major Morris, who is now somewhere overseas. Students undoubtedly know him better as Mr. Morris, math teacher. Our Coast Guard representative is Lt. Dillner stationed at Curtis Bay, Mary- land. He taught biology. Not to be forgotten are our women in service who are both in war work. Miss Neal and Miss Holliday both left their positions here to aid the war effort.

Miss Holliday, well known to Spanish and French students, is using her knowledge of foreign languages in the Intelligence Service. loan drive. fAccording to rumors among students, Mr. Iackson is an excellent mathematicianj Upon the completion of this drive, plans were made for the rest of the year. There were to be no more war loan drives, but instead one goal. In order to reach this goal and Hy the coveted Schools- at-War flag, it would be necessary for ninety per cent of the students to pur- chase stamps and bonds regularly. Sta- tistics show that all-in-all, the majority of the students seemed to realize that each stamp bought not only aided the war effort but was one of the best investments in the future.

Over one hundred girls have taken the course since the fall of '42. Upon completion of the required thirty hours of training, they were presented with Red Cross Certificates and Home Nursing Pins. Furnishings for room 215 were pro- vided for the classes by the Home Nursing Section of the Red Cross. Firness Washhurnis taking an active interest in the war program of keeping physi- cally lit.

Most of the students coming from Ramsey have taken either Elementary Algebra or General Math. For those who have not, Algebra I5 and If are offered here at Washburn. Plane Geometry follows. The intricacies of the axioms, the isosceles triangle, and other basic geometrical shapes are mastered. Advanced Algebra is pursued after Geometry. This course involves a more advanced form of elementary algebra. For students desiring higher math, the next subject is Solid Geometry under Mr. jackson. The solid classes are mainly composed of boys going into the service or those who intend to take WAR CALLS FOR MATH! War needs math! More stress has up engineering as a vocation. This year Miss Olson taught three classes of trigonometry. The functions of the angles are mastered there. Reports from the government told the high schools that boys coming into the service were not accurate enough in the simple fundamentals of arithmetic. Therefore, for the first two weeks of all math courses this year a review of arithmetic was pursued. Addition, sub- been placed on this phase of study than ever before.

THE SUBJECT WITH A FUTURE The Commercial Course in Washburn offers a varied selection of subjects, namely, shorthand, typing, bookkeep- ing, advanced typing, and office prac- tice. Miss Denison and Miss Stevenson teach bookkeeping in which the stu- dent learns to balance accounts and keep books. Miss Thompson and Mrs. Ylvisaker teach typing. Miss Thomp- son, Miss Stevenson, and Miss Nash complete the efficient shorthand staff. Office practice, under the guidance of Miss Nash, affords the student prac- tice filing, use of the dictaphone, and work on the switch board in the school office. To the students who desire to be- come fully prepared for business, Washburn offers a complete commer- cial course which includes four semes- ters of shorthand, two semesters of sec- retarial practice and one year of typ- ing. Seniors of the shorthand and sec- retarial practice courses take dictation, do typing, as well as general ofhce work for teachers and the oHice staff in order to develop accuracy in those lines of work. The Commercial staff allows two of its most proficient students, Ann Mar- chessault and Shirley Farrier, to type out the entire Wahian before it goes to press. This work which includes identifications of all pictures as well as all subject matter in the annual is per- formed by these students on their own time. 20-WASHBURN7wAHlAN I944 'A' CULT RE Where 1'alen+s are revealed The VVashburn language department ollers a two-year course in Spanish, French, and German, and a four-year course in Latin. In studying these lan- guages students familiarize themselves with the history and literature as well as learning to read and speak them. Miss Laird and Miss Tupper supervise the Spanish courses, and Miss Denison, the German course. The Latin classes are under Mrs. Savage and Miss Gear, Miss Gear also teaches French. Not all of the art students are talent- ed, but this popular course develops an appreciation of art and also serves as a practical experience in graphic ex- pression. Creative work is stressed. Miss Baker and Miss Trowbridge su- pervise the courses which include Sketch, Design, Fashion, Painting, Commercial Art, and Crafts. Outstand- ing projects are shown at the nation- wide exhibit sponsored by the Scholas- tic Magazine. Chorus, one ol' the required subjects, is conducted by Mr. Beckstrom and Mr. Super. In taking this subject, the students become acquainted with both classical and patriotic songs. Through- out these chorus groups are talented students who are placed in the Girls' Glee Club, the Mixed Glee Club, or the Boys' Glee Club. These clubs are under the supervision of Mr. Beck- strom. Much valuable experience is gained in these groups, the Glee Clubs have sung for various organizations outside of school as well as for school programs, and also take part in the annual Washburn Christmas Chorus presented every year under the direc- tion of Mr. HB. Mr. Super has supervision of VVash- burn's orchestra and band, which play for various auditorium programs and athletic events. Mr. Harry Ranks con- ducts our Harmony class for those who take music. It is pleasing to notice how much interest he has aroused among the student boys toward acquiring a greater appreciation of music, as Well as becoming more proficient in it.

I I-i ra Each semester the tests are fiven to all students and graded accordin - is is 25' ly. The lOI5's are naturally not expected to rate as high as the l2A's. The Minimums include s tellin Y, usa fe, and unctuation with a few catch S I Iv 3-i P i tuestionsv added for food measure. After six sessions of these tests the 4 I I-I hi fh school fraduate should be t uite aware of the im ortance of En flish 5 2, I is grammar. -. CI Z P-1 O FU IT!

English: Take II Ancl Like I+! if i' if 'k uk 'A' 'A' Hy the time Ramsey's nine A stu- dents arrive at Washburn they have accepted taking English as their inevi- table fate. As diversified as VVashburn's subjects arc, English is something ev- eryone has in common. The typical tenth grade student is worried by the size of the American Literature book as it is handed him over the book- rooin counter. However, under the guidance of Mrs. Keyes, Miss Mont- gomery, and Miss Blessin, the afore- mentioned worry gives way to a year of pleasant reading and study. The varied and interesting phases of Amer- ican Literature are the basis for an understanding oli American writers. In eleven B many of VVashburn's students take News because they have journalistic interest .... or because up- perclassmen have rumored that the class is more fun than regular Eng- lish. With Miss Dowling and Mr. Clae- son holding the reins we can under- stand the students' afhnity for News. In the other S3 classes under Mrs. Bas- ford's capable supervision, creative writ- ing is stressed. So that when the tenth graders see the eleven Als mumbling to themselves in the halls, they will not think old age is setting in, we would like to ex- plain that they are only saying their memory lines preparatory to giving them in their Shakespeare class. As the semester nears an end, Miss Suber's and Mr. Claesonls desks are cluttered with copies of term themes on Shake- speare and Elizabethan life. The seniors end their high school English with a study of English Lit- erature. Miss Christensen, Miss Lucas, Mrs. Savage, Miss McLaughlin and Mrs. Mulligan are kept very busy doing everything from deciphering Chaucer to correcting term themes which are written on anything the student has a special interest in. So you can see that any excuses for not being thoroughly acquainted with English are void when a pupil graduates. 'A' i' i' i' ir 'A' 'A' i' I944 WASHBURN WAHIAN-2? caQ.ME cBQ 0 M 5 HAPPY DAYS TO THE TEN BEES With the arrival of these dashing young tenderfeet here, a startling, revolutionizing, extraordinary occurrence took place. For the first time in the history of Washburn the ten bees have mixed boy and girl home rooms. If this experiment proves successful, the mixed home rooms may he continued and extended throughout the tenth and eleventh grades. But like the other classes, these ten bees experienced the cooperative English and arithmetic tests and their first Minimum Essentials which are bestowed upon each new class entering Washburn. With these formalities over, the greenhorns fell into the swing of things, electing their home room officers and their student council repre- sentatives, forming athletic teams, and joining the clubs open to them. You must admit that they have acquired Washburn dignity in a very short time. The l2B's relax at thc 8:20 home room period NEXT IN LINE The l2B,s are next in line to graduate from Washburn. Like the l2A's they are beginning to look back on their school days instead of ahead. These twelfth graders realize how true is the old Latin saying Tempus fugit, for in a short time they will be the oldest group in school. With this in mind the l2B,s are going forward in credit- able fashion and will be excellent lead- ers next term. They have their home room meet- ings in room 325, and the capable offli- cers elected are: Iim Stark, president, Audrey Iohnson, vice-president, Betty Iean Larson, secretary, Dick Sullivan, treasurer. September will see the start of their 12A semester. A YEAR TO GO The juniors are no longer the young- sters of the school, but they are looked upon with great respect by the tenth grade. They feel more a part of Wash- burn now because they are eligible for many activities. The girls may join U.C. Club, and some of the boys be- come members of the athletic teams. ln llA the students study Shake- speare and can often be heard memo- rizing such famous lines as, mls this a daggerF,' and Out censored spotli, This brings understanding smiles from the seniors and looks of bewilderment from the sophomores. The eleventh grade is looking for- ward to its senior year with genuine eagerness and high hopes. The Business and Social Center The home rooms at Washburn are the center of activity for the students. There the boys and girls have an op- portunity to make friendships that will last for years. lt is in the home rooms that the students select their course of studies for the following semesters. OH:icers and the necessary represen- tatives are elected for each home room. lt is from this list of home room ofii- cers that the student council ballot is made. lt is through the home rooms that subscriptions to the school paper and the annual are made, contributions to worthy organizations are collected, and banking is accomplished. There is a short attendance period every morn- ing from 8:25 to 8:28. On Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, this period is lengthened to 8:40 for carrying on business. Some home rooms have contests with one another in banking, war stamp selling, and paper collections. The los- ing home room usually gives a party for the winning one. Thus the home rooms combine business and pleasure. Penmanship tests are given in the home rooms each semester. A grade of sixty must be attained by each stu- dent, and those who fail the test are placed in a remedial penmanship class. Mixers are held by every grade, and the home room teachers help the stu- dents with their plans. Each class chooses a theme, and the 12A's are allowed to wear costumes for the occa- sion. Sportsmanship and home room spirit are developed through home room teams in various athletic fields. A very complete intramural program is made up by the gym teachers. When the students reach the twelfth grade, they leave the old home rooms. The Iune classes occupy the large study halls, 3l2 and 314. The Ianuary classes have room 325. In their 12A semester the large classes meet in the auditorium one day a week. This experience en- ables them to discuss their plans for graduation all together and more ef- ficiently. 24-WASHBURN WAHIAN I944 ul' I2B-325 Row One: Fox, Blake, Chisholm, Dohern lllaekmur, Axness, Fisher . . .

MAIOR SPORTS CAPTAINS OF THE '43-'44 SEASON ARE: Buzz Wheeler, Football, Basket- ball, Iack Pearson, Wrestling, Ierry Smith, Captain-elect, Football, Iohn Dunnigan, Tennis, Lou Lackorc, Swimming, Bob Gold, Track. Donny and Buzz Take Prep Honors Bob Danielson, following the trail blazed by former outstanding Minne- apolis athletes such as Patty Berg, Bruce Smith, and George Frank, has brought fame and recognition to himself, his team, and his school. It is in- deed a high hon- or for a high school under- graduate to re- ceive the annual Iunior Chamber of Commerce award. Danny,s excellent baseball pitching and all-around field playing has well earned him his prominence. Danny An interesting sidelight amidst the highlights of Danny's success can be drawn from his great admiration and following of his father's aid and ad- vice. A contract with the Chicago White Sox had been drawn up and only awaited Danny,s signature for validity. As close as ball and bat, Danny can be correlated with baseball. Congrats again, Danny. Keep pitching. Six letters, three sports. Captain of Foot- ball and Basketball, and an outstanding man in Baseball. Buzz Wheeler has one of the most outstanding ath- letes in Wash- proved himself to be burnis history. Besides quar- terbacking the football team, this man Wheel- e r w o n t w o games single- handedly by con- Buzz versions. Wash- burn naturally got a big kick out of this. In recogni- tion of his ability, Buzz was voted the most valuable man, in high school football, of the ,43 season. He led Washburn's basketball team to a third place in the city, winning a first string berth on the All-city bucket- ball brigade. Known as a slugger on the diamond, he was first string on the Richfield team, always ready to come through in the clutches. Buzz has done big things at Wash- burn, keep it coming. HHBET By Wally Hanson Washburnis spirited Orange and Blue football team has again completed a successful season with four wins out of their seven entanglements. At 3:30 p.m., September 17, 1943, the season got under way with the Millermen las- soing the West Cowboys 7-6. The tra- ditional W'ashburn-South classic saw the Millers lose by the score of 14-0. The annual homecoming was glorified by Southwest's defeat 7-6. What spec- tator will soon forget the final second breath-choking stand made by Wasli- burn on its own goal line during that game? 'A' if ir ir 'A' it 'A' With typical Washburn excellence the Miller cage-caperers have again carved a niche in the upper bracket of the final prep standings. Beginning a season of doubtful outcome, the Ross- men soon found their place as a strong defensive team. By holding opponents to an average of 28.2 points per game, the Washburn quintet well Won the title of the city's defensive champions as well as holders of third place. The three losses of the season, being determined by a margin of only four points, is a striking example of the Millermenis effervescent fighting spirit. Upsets are neither unusual nor unexpected and the tortuous, table-turning, tilt twirl in which Vocational came from a record of seven straight losses to tip Washburn 25 to 24 will be remembered by all prep fans as the Ubig onen for 1944. ir 'A' 'A' it 'A' 'Ir 'k And the Washburn swimming team has churned its way to runner-up place in the all-city meet. Since early in ,42- ,43 season, seventeen competitors have been washed out in dual meets. Meets are won and lost by split-second fin- ishes and the excitements contained in the Miller-versus meets are highly dan- gerous to those of weak constitutions. For the seventeenth consecutive year the water-boys have retained top-flight success by staying within the leading three positions in city competition. Good work, boys! More power to you new fellows coming up next year. 34-WASHBURN WAHIAN I9-44 'A' SMITH is going, but watch out . .

FO0TBALL Although jinxed by injuries, the 1943 football season turned out to be a high- ly successful one. The opening game found the Millers facing West. After adiscouraging first half which saw the Cowboys take a 6-0 lead, Washburn tallied in the third quarter, by virtue of some fancy footwork on the part of Ierry Smith, with Wheeleris educated toe making the conversion and clinch- ing the contest, 7-6. The next tilt matched the Orange against South, the team which eventual- ly copped the city and twin-city cham- pionships. The Millers turned in one of the city's finest defensive efforts of the season as they held the highly- touted Tigers to a 13-0 victory. Subs came into their own as VVash- burn drubbed Vocational by the score of 25-0. A severe loss to the team was suffered, however, when Chic Russell was forced out for the season with a broken colla,-bone. When interviewed, Russell smiled and said, 'ilt's all in the gamef' The Richfield boys missed practice for almost a week, but this did not hinder them as Washburn dumped Central in their specially scheduled Monday contest. The Smith to 'Wheeler aerial duo provided the needed scoring punch. This was the game in which Central got l4 first downs to VVash- burn's 2. The Millers stopped every Pioneer threat, however, downing their opponents, l4-6. 'A' t i' ir i' ik 'Ir Millers' Schedule Shows 4 Wins Washburn ,... West 6 VVashburn ....

The wild Indians proved no match for the Orange, and although threatening at many points in the game, were defeated, 7-6. Wheeler's toe coming through as usual. The next two weeks saw VVashburn dropping hard-fought contests to Roose- velt and Edison by scores of 21-7 and l4-0 respectively, and the backlield scoring another setback when Todd Mettler was put out of the Roosevelt game with a broken ankle. The season climax was reached when, having placed hrst string on every All- city team. Captain Buzz Wheeler won the Star-lutnnal award for the city's most valuable football player.

Dropping only the South, Henry, and Vocational contests, the squad maintained the best defensive record in the league and displayed one of the finest scoring combinations in recent years Opening against the perpetual motion boys from South, the Orange proved they would be a serious title threat by taking a half-time lead.

Vvlash- burn was in good form, despite the South heartbreaker, and dumped the Tommies. Final score, 35-29. The Southwest 'flying circusll pro- vided stiff competition for three quar- ters, but with most of their starting line-up benched on fouls, they proved an easy mark for a last period surge by Washburn's able bucketeers. The score- board ended up reading, 32-25. ir 'lr ir 'A' 'A' 'A' ir Henry, led by lim Mclntyre, received a scare, but managed to eke out a victory in the closing seconds of play.

The surprising Central squad held Washburn for two quarters to cop a 16-14 halftime lead. Ray Ross, substitut- ing frequently in the third quarter, found a clicking combination in time to surge ahead in the final stanza. Clem Sparrow led the Pioneers while Whee- ler turned in one of his finest games for Washburn. Final score, Washburn 36, Central 26. Despite the antics of Rooseveltls Ven- sel Iohnson and Bob Bielitz, the Orange managed to scuttle Roosevelt's title hopes in a wild shooting foray. With that Roosevelt cheerleader still in our minds, we left the auditorium in the wake of another Washburn triumph: 36-31. -A' ir 'A' 'lr 'A' ir 'A' Before 10,000 wild-eyed fans, the Millers ran true to form, by downing 4 Buzz Wheeler, lim Stark, I.

The Orange held a lead of 10 pts. at the three-quarter mark, but were forced to go into an overtime to pull this one out of the hat, 29-26. Buzz Wheeler and lim Hoffman came through when the chips were down. Hoffmans charity toss fol- lowed by Wheelerls basket, clinched the decision. VVest, fresh from their 10 pt. upset of North, entered the Washburn fray with a determination to emerge victorious in their last game. Determination, it soon proved, was not enough to lead the Green to victory, as the Millers dished out one of their greatest exhibitions of team play. The game ended with Wash- burn on the long end of a 43-25 ver- dict. 'k 'k ir it 'lr ir 'lr The Hnal tabulation gave Washburn undisputed third place, close behind Henry and South. Cap't Buzz Wheeler was a unani- mous choice for every All-City team selected while Ray Anderson and Iim Stark grabbed honorable mention. Returning next season are: lim Stark, Gayle Testin, Todd Mettler, Rog Brown, Dick Iohnson, Iohn Lindquist, Bob Woolsey, Don Sovell, and Rog Lundgren. Midyear graduation will hit this group pretty hard, however, and from lanuary on, things will be in the hands of Allah-and Ray. 1k I944 WASHBURN WAHIAN-37 Ross, Morrison 1Mgr.j, Iohnsun ffj, Brown Qfj, T.

Since early in the ,42-'43 season the aqua acrobats have defeated seventeen competitors in dual meets for their present outstand- ing record. They started by defeating Central, Roosevelt, Southwest, West, and Edi- son. The First two meets passed easily, and Southwest passed with more wor- ry than workg but West really made the boys sweat for their victory. Edisonis defeat made way for the city meet. West's medley team was really churn- ing and during the dual-meet season missed the city-record by only one-tenth of a second. The wonderful diving of Tommy Thompson, Edisonite, was the best seen around here for many years. The city meet held a host of disap- pointments: Ioe Miller was sufiering from bronchitis, Herb Schoening twist- ed an ankle before the meet, which put him out, and Iay Ocken suffered from an infection in his lung. In spite of these handicaps, we lost by only three points. Standout of the meet was Paul Kopietz who won the free-style century. The hard luck trophy for the meet goes to Gordie Earl. He won the breaststroke in a breeze, but was dis- qualified for jumping the gun by a frac- tion of a second. The week after the city meet, the Washburn splashmen came back to win the Y.M.C.A. invitational meet, beating second place West by seven points. The forty was bing-bing between Knopke and Ocken, with Knopke win- ning the flash finish by a hair. The Millermen took seconds in the hun- dred breast-stroke, the hundred back- stroke, and the tW0-twenty free style. Earl, Schoening, and Lackore gave all they had in these events, but the other boys had the edge. Kopietz again won the century. The meetis result was Washburn 33, West 26, Southwest 25. The state meet was the last big meet for the team as a whole. Upham quali- fied Sth in the 50 yard free style, Ko- pietz, fthat guy againj, placed 4th in 'k ir 'lr ir ir if 'A' his century, the dynamic free style relay team of Ocken, Lackore, Upham, and Kopietz, qualified first, thus breaking the twenty year jinx of no city medley team placing first in state competition. Upham took Fifth and Kopietz took third in the finals, and the free style bunch brought home the bacon, by nosing out Hibbing to win. When a better relay team comes along, we'd like to see it. The Washburn swimming team of.'43-'44, with Captain Lou Lac- kore at its helm, has come through as usual. Another year has been added to their record of nothing less than third place in city compe- tition. This year, as always, Wash- burn was tops. Things donit look too good for next season as Upham, Schoening, Lackore, and Erickson are mid-term graduates. The team will need freestylers, back- strokers, breaststrokers, and a complete- ly new diving staff. if ik -A' if 'k 'lr ik Row One: G. Earl, I. Miller, L. Lackore, A. Allen, II. Schoening, R.

H Cindermen Have Heated Season -- Placed First In Met With Captain Chuck Legler leading them, the Miller track team of 1943 com- pleted a satisfactory season by placing hve men in the City Meet finals. Although the team felt the loss of Gehring and Tharp of the previous season, stars such as Ralph Eide, Bill Holte, Doug Gates, and Captain-Elect Bob Gold continued the Washburn tradition of outstanding performers. With Mr. Larsen back at the helm, Fifty boys turned out a well-balanced, point-getting team in 1944. The first test came at the Metropolitan Meet at the University Field House in which some four hundred contestants from thirty schools participated. Washburn, winning but one First place, won the Metropolitan by scoring 31 points against heavily favored St. Paul Cretin's 21 points. Leading the dashmen is Bill Spires, who placed a Fifth in the Men Sup, porting him are Stan Carlson, Ernie Romano, Chuck Moses, Herbie Cle- ments, and Bruce Simons. The lead- ing contenders in the 440-yard dash are Doug Gates with his third in the Met, Mel OiNeill, and Phil Polgren.

Also hurdling are Mark Mathews and Bob Appel in the highs and Gene VVachsmuth, who placed First in the Met, and Bob Mcliinlay, in the lows. Leading the field events is Rollie Crandall in the high jump, pole vault, and shot put. ln the high jump he tied with Lou Frohbach for a third place in the g'Met while Mark Mathews tied for lifth. Other weight men are Roger Starn, Emil Haugen, and Dick Brass. VVith persistent practice, this i4-l VVashburn Track team should continue to rank with the best in all high school competition, and lead the other schools a merry chase for the prep title. ir I944 WASHBURN WAHIAN-4I ' -:Hg Back Row: Fred Warburton fCoaclij, Tom Bergsted, Buzz Wheeler, Harry Collias, Roger Lund- gren, Milt Brown QMgr.J . . .

MILLERS RCDAR IN'114 All that glitters isnit gold, but Wash- burnis diamond-men, this year, are one of the most powerful aggregations in the schoolis history. Composed almost entirely of last year's National Cham- pionship American Legion team, this group has enough speed, power, and experience to sweep the league, in nothing Hat. Last year's ball club, led by Captain Dick Durrell, swept the Southside championship with ease, only to lose the intra-city heartbreaker with North, 4-2. This North high team went on to win the state high school tournament at Carleton. The team lost only Durrell, Stan Earle, and Ted Wesson. Harry Collias captains this year's powerhouse, with a whole lineup of ex- perts including: Bob Danielson, Barney Briggs, Ierry Smith, Roger Brown, Red', Mellom, Buzz Wheeler, Paul Ottness, Tom Lorimer, and Tom Berg- sted. Stars, Mellom and Briggs, are slated on the Miller QMinneapolisj roster starting next Iuly. We're certain to hear a lot from these fellows. Marching along in stride, the Ross- men will push Pearl Field into promi- nence with their highly polished po- tency. Richfield Champs By Fred Warburton With the Washburn High baseball team representing them, the Minne- apolis Richfield Post No. 435 won the National Championship of American Legion Iunior Baseball with approxi- mately 23,000 teams in the competition. To earn these National honors the Minneapolis Richfield team hrst won 15 straight games to win the city of Min- neapolis championship. Then they de- feated Chisholm, Dilworth, and South St. Paul for the Regional Champion- ship. The team next played the Rincon Hill Post of San Francisco for the Sec- tional title, which the Minneapolis Richfield team won in three slam-bang contests. This victory placed the team in the round robin play-off for the National title with Whiteville, N. C., New Or- leans, La., Springfield, Ohio, and Flint, Michigan. The boys from Washburn proved themselves to be the cream of Iunior Legion baseball talent by beat- ing Springfield in the final game 3 to 2. The winning of the Championship, though, was distinctly a team victory. Every man on the team at some par- ticular time climbed to great hekhts in the competition and did something out- standing that meant the difference be- tween victory and defeat. Washburn may well be proud of such a Fine set of boys, who knew how to win, but who had enough balance and character to take their great victory with due and. becoming modesty.

WASHBURN'S BRAWNY BOYS The wrestling team whammed its way to one of its best seasons in VVashburnls history, by taking third in the city meet, and connecting with two city prep wrestling champs, namely, Dick Currier and Ierry Bylund. With veterans Bylund, Alwin, Co- rner, Luezinger, and Captain lack Pear- son, along with a bunch of newcomers, this gang really went to town. The heavy-weight class was filled by Don Iohnson, who came in second in the city finals. Then going on down the line, there are Bylund, Pearson, lack Alwin, Obie Dowling, George Gohlke, Dick Currier, Cliff Shoberg, Don For- far, Larry Comer, and mighty Don Luezinger. Naturally, nothing need be said about Bylund and Currier. Gohlke and Pearson are understood to be the fast- est on the team. The rest of the fellows are coming back next year and ought to make next year's team the best the school has had. Art Litman also wrestled. Seven boys from the gym classes spent their Christmas vacation sweating and straining to develop leadership po- tcnrialities at the University of Minne- sota. The problem of gym instructor aid in recent semesters has become acute due to the increased velocity of class workouts and greater population of classes. Mark Matthews, Ken Schulberg, Lar- ry Comer, Russ Upham, lack Gustaf- son, Rollie Crandall and Wesley Stiles have been wise in their selection of this valuable training. Some of their duties are marking attendance and command- ing drilling in marching and calisthen- ics.

LINKSMEN DRIVE FOR TITLE Led by Captain Tee Hoff Hoffman, the VVashburn golf squad is all ready for a bang-up season on the green. If they can get golf balls they'll probably be right on the ball and roll into first place. With Frank Chase, Gene Bennet, Eric Guire, Ioe Swain, Chuck Winslow, Dick and Red Larson, Lloyd Freden, Bob Nystrom, and Hill Heegard round- ing it out, the squad is expecting to burn up the fairways and blast a warn- ing to their opponents to watch out. This year, with material shortages, and transportation difhculties, no dual meets are expected to be held. However, a tournament will be held in later May, between the cityls high schools, to de- termine which team, and what indi- vidual, is the best in the city. The Washburn golf team has a long record of successes behind them, hav- ing won three city championships in the last Five years. Coached by Mr. Al- win, who is pretty proud of the team, and with this bunch of fellas, the city meet should pass with sweat, but suc- cess. Mr. Alwin pessimistically said, Weill probably come in third, but coaches are always modest. Racquefeers Courl' Tennis Ti+le Under the competent hands of them- selves and Lady Luck, the tennis team is in top-flight condition for the '44 season. Captain Iohn Dunnigan and his capable associates Ing Siverts, Herb Clements, Iack Erdahl, Brad Pitney, and Phil johnson, are all set to rack up a net profit of high percentage. If they follow the trends of popular songs and hold their opponents to UNO Love, No Nothin',', success is inevitable. Even though materials are scarce and the balls dont have that 'fpre-warv bounce, all the city teams are in the same rac- quet so competition should be quite evenly matched. With the hrst popping of fresh spring flower buds and the faint chirping of carefree birds slowly reaching the en- lightened senses of all human beings for the first time this year, the tennis team was out with its assortment of racquets, balls, nets, and other para- phernalia warming up for that ever- important first dual meet. Any sunny afternoon the aforementioned boys can be seen courting, and not with girls, down at any local tennis court. With Westls Kenny Boyum out of the way, Dunnigan has the inside track for the city singles title. You will remember that lohn's stiffest competi- tion was furnished by the phenomenal Cowboy netman who is now serving with Uncle Sam. Front: Chase, Hoffman, Heegard . . .

SPQRT Able and willing is the war cry of rugged, muscle-bound-to-get, he-men clad in pretty blue shorts with spar- kling white TU shirts as they scamper from their locker room onto the gym Hoor. First come, first served, seems to be the only fair way of rationing basket- balls, and as ten lads throng into the supply room to secure five balls, one formerly not acquainted with Com- mando tactics is rapidly introduced. With at least five minutes playing time allowed, all the stronger boys form teams to display their ardent talents in handling basketballs, elbows, and fists. VVhen the sweet-toned whistle of the instructor gently floats to the ears of this mob, instantly the storm subsides and peace and order is in high com- mand. Each lad finds his own personal number, and the dayls attendance is quickly taken. The instructor gazes fondly along the line of erect- statues and any vacant space without a for rent sign hanging out is hindering the war effort and is also significant that some lad is absent. Woe be unto the lad who entangles trouble tying his shoe lace and Hnds himself late onto the floor. Penalties range from fifty to sixty push-ups to several trots around the gym. Several does not restrictively refer to three or four. Of the many thrilling and daring adventures in which these hearty speci- mens of blooming manhood indulge in is the circus-style rope climb. As the boys don oxygen gear and prepare to straddle the stratosphere, the ropes are lowered and it is as if a hangman's noose were being unslung, for the groans and howls from forbidding self- judgments of each individual are not to be outdone by the earthly sounds which scintillate within stockyards. As one famous Roman statesman stated, Tempus Fugitf' and before you know it, the end is drawing nigh and the day, although it is only first period, seems half gone. Some lucky boys manage to secure towels and the next thing one recognizes among the multitude of undertones is a similarity between singing and that which radi- ates from under splashing showers. Ah, yes,', said one refreshed-looking lad as his friends aided his exit from the shower room, I never felt so grand in all my life, but I still wonder if it wouldn't be more fun with soap?,' And so, as the magnetic potency of the bell draws the lads to their second period, we, too,-leave this quaint, fash- ionable room numbered 103, and sin- cerely thank our lucky stars and stripes that we will not have to undergo such extraordinary means of education. At least not until fifth period. WASHBURN WEARERS Forty-four rugged men compose the membership of Washburnis UW Club. This select group of fellas get that hon- or by winning a letter in any one or more of the major or minor sports. The letter is more than a bit of or- ange and blue cloth to wear on your sweater. It represents time, labor, and sometimes even physical injury, that the boys went through to make their school win. 'lr it it it 'lr 'A' it Letters are given out at Washburn for everything from football to chess, but only for those who deserve them. At this time a thank you should be given to the coaches of the various sports, who are: Welles, swimming and football, Ross, football, basketball, base- ball, Larson, track, Roder, wrestling, Martin, tennis, Alwin, golf. Thanks a lot, coaches, youlve done a swell job. i' ir it it 'A' it it It doesn't take size to get on the NWN Club, look at Dick Leighton. Anyone can get a letter in one of Wash- burn's sports! if he tries and has the guts to stick' to it. A Washburn rule gives anyone a letter who stays in a sport for three years. You can always wrestle. ' 56-fWASHBURN WAHIAN 1944 af gg-Wg g gg GIRLS' ATHLETICS Row One: Hessian fTreas.j, Bros QVice Presb, Snedelier tl'rcs.j Allen QScc.Q, Dougherty 1 V. lalnit-r . . .

P U S H U P O R BURPEE DOWN NW f T 1 Q 6 Gel VI M--' Vx 'X 1 Z gtg --- W aj Q if-.ara s GIRLS BECOME PHYSICALLY FIT Many of the nations high schools now are trying to put muscle on their boys and girls for use in the armed forces or just for good physical fitness. VVash- burn, too, has revamped its physical training program to provide vigorous exercise for its students. Courses for girls make for power, accuracy, endur- ance, and agility. Under the direction of Miss Bowen and Miss Thurston, the girls have taken on added exercises. Every semes- ter a test is given to check girls on their ability. This year to get an HA in all the tests a seventeen year old girl must jump seven feet in the broad jump, twenty inches in the vertical jump, do twenty-five pull-ups, fifteen push-ups, fifty sit-ups, and twenty bur- pees. Also in order to get an MA, a girl must jog a mile in distance. Those girls who receive UAE get a physical fitness certificate. 'R 'A' i' 'k ir ir i' ln a recent survey it was found that at least thirty-one states were follow- ing in whole or in part the program of physical litness set forth by the of- fice of education in collaboration with the army and navy, the public health service, and the oHice of defense health and welfare services. t ir it ik ir ir it A few sportsvthat act as muscle builders are tennis, hiking, camping, and volley ball. Such activities are de- signed to meet an urgent need for improving the physical condition of American young women. These activi- ties mentioned in this article should not be considered as presenting a complete physical education program, although they should be a part of the much broader program which IUUSK be car- ried on after the present emergency is over. Quote from Miss llowen, 'Ll think that physical fitness is an important part in the training of students at VVashburn. Miss llowen and Miss Thurston both have worked hard to make this yearjs Work interesting for the girls. 'f '944 WAESHQU RLWe5H,lAN fi? W YVEARERS-Row One: Noruni, llotlerher, Wright . . .

THE ORANGE TRY FOR A BASKET j8-WASHBgLlllgfjI WAHIANvl944i'kW ig, if NWWVWV WASHBURN DEVELOPS Righi' AH'i+ude Towards Good Posiure First period, March 31, 194-l, the an- nual all-girl auditorium for the posture contest was held. All girls in gym classes are judged for good posture and the ones picked try out next with the other members of their grade. The girls who are not eliminated then are judgcd once more, and those remaining are put in the finals to be checked on the stage. judging was done by Miss Margaret Brown, our librarian, Mr. Larson, the boys, gym teacher, Miss Eugenia Ziem- er, and Miss Emma Stevening. Besides the three winners for thc school, eighteen other girls were given honorable mention. They are Barbara King, Barbara Rhodes, Laura Eidc, Ioan Walgreen, Mary Erquhart, lean Niles, Louise Sigvertson, Gloria Burch, Marcia Noodleman, Mary Nightingale, Lyn Holmes, Mayme Laughlin, Carol Fischer, Ioan Peterson, Pat Blake, Phyl- lis Parsons, Donna Erickson, and Fran- cis Hendrickson. After a very close competitive race these three girls were named the pos- ture winners: Third place: Sylvia For- manekg second place, Ioan Reinkeg and first place-Miss Washburn-Vir- ginia Bros. Virginia's name will be en- graved on the posture queenis trophy, and she will be remembered as Wash- burnis nineteenth winner. Mr. Mac- Quarrie took movies of the winners which will be kept and shown to fu- ture gym classes exemplifying good posture. The girls are very sure that the maneuvers made marching around the gym will make them better prepared to become future members of the WACS. They have also engaged the strict dis- cipline of the two top sergeants' who have produced such former greats like Lieutenant Alice flrloneyj Bell.

This familiar cry starts the average period in the girls, gym off with a jolt. From then on it is every girl for herself, for the war has certainly made the physical part of education a reality. To give an accurate description of physical education at Washburn, we will give you the following account of a typical gym period. If a newcomer should happen to meander into 106 a few seconds after the head squad leader had first blown her whistle, her first glance would reveal a long row of legs standing on their numbers wait- ing for attendance to be taken. She would not have time for a second glance, for at the next whistle, the thundering herd is on its way to physi- cal Fitness. As the members of the class dash madly from their numbers to the vari- ous squads, the scrutinizing squad lead- ers gather in a conference. What will their decision he? After much deliber- ation and due consideration fand a little hair pullingj, they come to an agreement. With bated breath the class listens to the long-awaited announce- ment. Squad three wins two-and-one- half points for getting in order firstln After this momentous event, inspec- tion is in order. No one has on a clean suit, but because one enterprising per- son put on clean socks this morning, squad four is awarded five points! The next half hour is devoted to njust a few important notices. Although Miss Thurston is not quite as windy as Zero for the day Bowen, it is our firm belief that her slogan is HA few new rules each day keep the hall game in sway. After the notices, the fight begins over which squads wore the orange jackets last. The victorious squads shun the jackets and comprise the blue teams. By' this time approximately forty minutes of the period are over, but there is still time for a short jaunt out- doors for a double turn around the track and a swift game of baseball. At this point may we say to the question- ing onlooker that those girls who seem to have cages over their heads do not have distemper-they are merely the poor unfortunates who have to don eyeguards because they wear glasses. QEditors' note: We take off our specslb It is said that if we watch the game, we will not be endangered. But who could expect a girl to keep her eye on the ball when those boys keep jogging continually around the track. EXODUS JUNE Washburn Gradua+es Sixfh War Class The graduating class of Iune, 1944, al- though a wartime casualty, had a very full calendar. On March 24th, the 12A Mixer took place. Fun, food, and frolic, were had by all! During the following week occurred the only obstacle in the course of events . . . deciding whether the girls should carry roses or a mixed bouquet. Following a bitter battle, a vote was taken on the subject, and mixed bouquets won by a slight ma- jority. Perhaps this was because roses would have cost the boys ten cents more on their dues. Miss Sandboe had a difficult time choosing parts for the class play, Pygmalion,u but the play was presented on the evening of April 28. The hag lines were in evidence at this event. Something new was added this semester, for, as plans now stand, a Iunior-Senior Prom is to be held some- time in Iune. Early in Iune the annual lawn party will be given for the se- niors on the grounds in front of Wash- burn. Punch will be served to the strains of the music rendered by the phonograph. Another addition to the extra-curricular activities of the seniors will be a class day program. Usually the event has not occurred, because there has not been enough talent in the class to put over such a program. High- lighted by a talk from our president, Frank Chase, the baccalaureate service should prove to be very inspirational to the graduates as they leave to enter a war-torn world. During the last week of high school education, the Senior Banquet will take place. The class of- ficers will give after-dinner speeches. The night of nights will be on Iune 15. The program will begin at eight o'clock, speeches will be given by the valedictorians and salutatorians, and presentation of diplomas will end the ceremonies. The seniors have looked forward to this moment for many years, but now as the time approaches, they cannot help feeling a bit sad to be leaving Washburn. ggg ff 1944 WASHBURN WAHIAN-49 SENIGRS GENE BENNETT fTreas.J, DOROTHY BREMICKER fVice-Pres.J, CAROLYN com qsecg, FRANK CHASE fPres.j MASTER MINDS HONORED Intelligence!

Frank Chase was voted to wield the gavel, as president of the largest class yet to graduate from Washburn. 1-le presided over the meetings of the UA seniors. If the already mentioned gavel became too heavy, Dottie Bremicker, as vice-president, was ready and willing to assume the duties of the president. Her duty was to help Frank choose the senior committees. Carolyn Cory,as secretary of her class, had opportunity to improve her pen- manship grade. She kept account of the business concerning the 12 A,s. The seniors had as their treasurer, Gene Ben- nett. Any Tuesday morning he could be found in his counting house trying to make the books balance. The job of being an oflicer was not easy, but these students adapted them- selves to their jobs with great versatility. 'lr ir 'A' if 'A' 'k 'A' CORY WINS D.A.R. The Daughters of the American Revo- lution this year presented their annual award to Carolyn Cory. The recipient is nominated by her classmates, and is chosen on the basis of service, patriot- ism, dependability, and scholarship. Leadership must run in the family for Carolyn's sister, Ioanne, won the same award in 1941. We can not tell in advance the win- ners of the other awards. Those that are given each year are as follows: Service Award, given on the basis of scholarship, leadership, service, and character, Dean Miller Award goes to a boy letter winner, who also has a B average, Star-Iournal Award is present- ed in recognition of scholarship, service, character, and leadership. A ten dollar check accompanies this award. The other awards that also are given are the Bausch-Lomb Medal which is presented to the student who has made the great- est progress in science and mathematics. The Margaret Grangaard Award for girls, has the same requirements as the corresponding Dean Miller Award. To the student who has done the most to promote understanding toward world peace, goes the lnternational Under- standing Award.

Such famous persons as Napoleon, Tom Sawyer, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, The Prince and the Pauper, and Little Lord Fauntleroy were seen strolling through the halls of Washburn on Fri- day, March 24. Prizes for unusual costumes were es- pecially nice this year. The award for the most original, won by Dewney fLit- tle Bo Peepj Bachman, and Bud fGirl Scoutj Herhold, for the boys, and Mary Swooner-crooner Berglund at mixer Morris and Iudy Kennon as the Hunch- hacks of Notre Dame for the girls, was a box of candy. Honors for the best characterization went to Barbara fDia- mond Lilj Noodleman, and Tom QDon Quixotej Dalby. The prize was one ticket each to Radio City. Iune fHula- Hulaj Thompson and Ierry fBlack Beautyj Bylund came through to win the prize for the funniest costumes. They each received one phonograph record as a remembrance. The Washburn Swing Band then gave out with some hot music for dancing.

At the present time those are all the boys who are recorded in the oi'Hce as having left for the Polgren services. Many others are enrolled in the reserves and expected to leave soon after graduation. To those who in this crisis have dedi- cated themselves to the service of their country go the admiration and grati- tude of their classmates and of the nation. Service Tesrs Given The V-12 and A-12 tests were given on March 15. The same exam was given for both groups. A large majority of the senior boys took one of these tests. The exam took two hours and con- sisted of three parts. The first part con- sisted of vocabulary. Physics questions made up the second part of the test. Here there were questions about electri- city, motors, and magnetism. The last part consisted of questions on all phases of math. The Naval Radar test was given at Washburn for those who were inter- ested. Those that pass are given a month's indoctrination training at Great Lakes, and then sent to radio school in Chicago. After ten months of intensified training they graduate with the rating of radio technician 3-c. After completing further training they are stationed on a submarine or air- plane, or may become a teacher or a research man. To top it all off those that passed left soon after graduation. 60-WASHBURN WAHIAN i944 ir 1-.yer I. 3 4 ' -.1 .

VVaving to your friends in classes was great fun. Then there was the tradi- tion of stopping your friends in the hall to find out what the test was like the period before. Trying to convince the counselors to give you a sixth period excuse. And then much to the teachers' dislike, the wearing of slacks by the girls on football and basketball days. Of course you always needed to call the doctor, so you could use the free phone. Staying for seventh hour because you were tardy. You always had to go to your locker after each period for books you had forgotten. Thinking up ail- ments so as to be excused from gym. Never will the great crowd in front of the Senior homerooms be forgotten. There was that endless search for a pen- cil. There was always someone who did not have one. Then those poor substi- tutes who after one day in Washburn never returned because of the heckling. The final and most pleasant remem- brance is that of madly dashing out of school at three o'clock. wif W wwf'-l9ijv-YVASHBi!BN -NLVWAHIAN--61 RALPH ROLLER ERNEST SHSRLEY ROTH MARGARET ROUNDS .

The leading roles are Higgins, liliza, Colonel Pickering, Doolittle, Mrs. Hig- gins, Mr. Pearce, Freddy, Mrs, Eyns- ford Hill, and Clara. The students that were in the hnal tryouts were Lorraine, Iohnson, Iackie Iones, Dorothy Filter, Bob Giere, Cliff Norton, Bob Danielson, Bill Utter, Tom Dalby, Wally Hanson, and Eugene Bachman. Others that also were in the Finals were Art Litman, Lloyd Freden, Kent Christoferson, Iune Mann, Ellen Moyer, Iean Roedell, Marie Stanger, Betty Oberlander, and Barbara Bliss. The Finalists spent many nights after school practicing their parts, According to one member the Cockney accent was the most ditlicult thing to master. The fact that several people were trying out for each part, led to greater competi- tion. This in turn developed superior acting ability. This promises to be one of the best class plays ever presented in Washlvurii.

STIRRUPS ludging by the activities of Stirrups this year, they seem to have gone all out for the war effort. Most of their time has been spent cataloging the names of graduates in the service for the convenience of the school. They made several scrap books in which they put letters from alums which have been sent to us from all parts of the world. This work has proved to be very valuable as it enables us to keep in contact with former VVash- burnites. Stirrups, together with Flags, also spent some time Fixing toys and games which were sent to a toy-lend- ing library.

The girls be- lieve in practicing what they preach because they make scrap books for other people to enjoy. This year the girls went out to the Veterans, Hospi- tal and gave their books to the patients. While working on their project, the girls had several speakers talk to them. Among them was Miss Christensen, who spoke on vocational guidance. SgmaPM The sweethearts of Sigma Phi' have been unusually active this season. In addition to helping a needy family at Christmas time, they sponsored the 4th war loan drive with Sparks Hi-Y. Act- ing as prexy was Elaine McCormick and Ianie Redick held the vice-presi- dency. On hand at every meeting to read the secretaryis report was Ioyce Maul, and lrene Raihle took charge of the club's Finances. hdagnels The spirit of the Red Cross seems to have taken hold of the girls in Mag- nets. They decided to take charge of the Red Cross activities in Washburn. Lorraine Haugen, the president, was in charge of this project. However, the members donlt spend all of their time on service work. Last fall, they made Christmas tree ornaments, carried on discussions about social and political problems, and heard several speakers. The girls in Magnets also help by ush- ering at various school activities.

The girls in li.T.C. must go for social affairs as most of their activities have been along this line. A dance was held at the Y.VV.C..-X. with a Hi-Y group, and they have had interesting speakers at their meetings. The much discussed sorority problem and the meaning of Girl Reserves was the topic of Mrs. Hennekins, a guest speaker. Nancy Dunton and Ann McCartney are presi- dent and vice-president while Marsha Noodleman and Ianet Hayes hold the oflices of secretary and treasurer. A. F.S. Don't be too anxious to make a hit on that first date with your dream boy -just HCI naturalfl This was the ad- vice given to the A.F.S. girls by two University students at a boy and girl relations program. This type of meet- ing helps to answer those social ques- tions that we all have, but are a bit shy about asking how to solve. These girls believe in doing a good turn, so they gave an Easter party at VVells' Memo- rial for the younger children, and a good time was had by all.

At the be- ginning of the first term they cut car- toons out of magazines and made jig- saw puzzles. When the puzzles were finished, members took them to a wel- fare organization. At Christmas time they had several meetings. The girls spent one afternoon making tree dec- orations for the patients at General Hospital. At another meeting, Miss Trowbridge showed her collection of Christmas cards. Later in the term, the girls made tray favors. Mary Snure acted as president of Dabs during the spring term. With the help of Miss Minty, several varied programs were given. 'A' i' 'A' 'A' 'A' i' 'A' Does For their service work, the girls in Does 'iadoptedl' a family of six chil- dren. At Christmas they dressed dolls, fixed toy furniture, and bought candy so that each child received a gift. They also took the children to the Nicollet Clinic during spring vacation.

SILVER TRI HAS MEETINGS FOR UNDERCLASS GIRLS Among the social activities of the tenth grade and 11B girls is the Silver Tri Girl Reserves. In the fall they have a membership party to welcome all new girls. After this general meeting, each group elects its oH'icers and decides on a term project. At meetings held both at school and in homes, the girls exchange current bits of gossip as well as working on their benefits. Several of the groups have had joint meet- ings. They seem to like this idea because they have a chance to meet new girls and see what other groups are doing. Every third Wednesday the cabinet meets to plan the Silver Tri activities. During the first term Mary Allen was president. Mary Bruchholz had charge of membership and programs, Pat Taylor took the minutes and reports, and Salley Whittenberg took care of the club's finances. Under their supervi- sion many general meetings were held. ln November a mothers' and daughters' tea was given at Benton Hall. A round table discussion and style show high- lighted the program. The Blue Tri, Silver Tri, and Hi-Y held the traditional Thanksgiving services An all-city symphony party also was attended by Silver Tri along with members of the Blue Tri. After the symphony the girls returned to the Y for supper. To begin the spring activities the girls in Silver Tri had a joint Recognition Service with Blue Tri at St. Iobn's Church. At the next meeting the big member- ship party took place, at which a WAVE was the speaker. Before the Easter vacation two Lenten services were held at St. Iohnls Church. The Hi-Y and Blue Tri sponsored these services together with the Silver Tri. Oflicers are Barbara Bachman, president, and Helen Raihle, vice-president. -VvxAA-VvXf,vvsAAAAfvvvvxAA,v 70-WASHBQARN WAHIAN I944 Torchere+'res If you had gone to a local childrenls welfare home around the first of May, you would have seen some beaming faces as a result of the work of Torch- erettes. This group showed its origin- ality by making May baskets. The members of this Girl Reserves dec- orated them with gay colors and floral designs. ln these baskets they put candy and toys which amused the youngsters for days. At one meeting Miss Eustis, VVashburn,s new visiting teacher, dis- cussed girl problems. Bonnie Benson i,iet em B... was president, Peggie Bergman was vice-president, and the duties of both the secretary and treasurer were hlled by Marilyn Brandenburg. Miss Keyes is the club's advisor.

A talk by a university student on Romance Incorporated real- ly kept the girls' attention at one meet- ing. This speaker also answered any questions the girls had after the formal talk. The program at another meeting consisted of an amateur hour. At this get-together the girls displayed their known and unknown talents. How- ever, the Dieos also did their share of work. At Christmas time the girls col- lected toys. They repaired and fixed them and took the playthings to the Y. Then these toys were sent to chil- dren of servicemen. The offices in Dico were held by Donna Nord, president, Eleanor Ecklund, vice-president, Shir- ley Mansfield, secretary: and Phyllis Sampson, treasurer.

The girls decided to take a course at the Y where they learned about how to dress, and how to act. This group also had charge of the Silver Tri installa- tion. At one meeting they made paper hospital bags for the Red Cross. The Rascals elected Margy Butcher as their president. The job of planning meet- ings was given to Louise Carlson.

They are giving a scholarship to some underprivileged boy. This schol- arship will send a lucky boy to the Hi-Y camp, lduhapi, which is on ln- dependence Lake. The Cogs haven't spent all their time on this work though. They have had several chap- ter parties as well as supporting the All Hi-Y functions. The boys elected lack Pearson to serve as their presi- dent. The duty of vice-president was given to Chuck Wright, and lim Knight and Bud Herhold are the sec- retary and treasurer, respectively. Two parties have highlighted the ac- tivities of the members of A.P.O. Hi-Y this year. The first social event was a combination hayride and bowling fun- fest which was followed by a toboggan party despite the shortage of snow. Donn Bros has presided at the meet- ings when there have been many worth- while pI'Ogflll11S. Among the most inter- esting was a talk on aviation science given by Mr. Lee.

STANDARDS The largest all-boy organization in VVashburn is the Hi-Y, which is di- vided into small groups called chapters. There are now eight chapters, but when the Hi-Y was first organized in 1926, the S.T.O. was the only group. In order to become a member the applicant must first meet the require- ments which include sessions to deter- mine whether or not a person is really interested in taking an active part in this worthwhile organization. After be- ing placed in one of the chapters the new member is inducted at an impres- sive service and given his membership card and Hi-Y pin. These pins serve as a reminder of the organizations pur- pose to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school and commu- nity. At the first meeting each of the small groups elects four ofhcers who become members of the Hi-Y Cabinet. These officers in turn elect four repre- sentatives who take charge of various functions. Among their duties are plan- ning joint meetings, arranging parties, and sponsoring the membership drives. This club, which is certainly one of WVashburn's finest, holds its meetings on Tuesday nights. Business is con- ducted under the omcers and interest- ing programs are given for the mem- bers. Each chapter has an adult leader who helps to direct the meetings. This leader is obtained from the Y.M.C.A. loint meetings are held as it gives the boys a chance to see what other fellows in school are doing. Stamping books, ushering at school alliairs, helping out in the bookroom, and checking halls during air-raid drills are a few of the many service duties performed by Hi-Y members. Lenten and Thanksgiving services are given by the boys along with the Girl Re- serve groups, Such events are not held only for the members of the organiza- tions, but are for any VVashburn stu- dent who wishes to attend. These serv- ices give both organizations a chance to prove their worth and carry out their motto of high standards.

Since then they have held three bond drives, the total re- ceipts ol' which run well over fS5ll,lJ0ll. The latest drive was sponsored with Sigma Phi Girl Reserves. Their parties have been sueeesslul with Wiener roasts, roller skating, and hayrides as enter- tainment.

The only requirement for mem- bership is to pay dues each semester to a homeroom representative. For this reason, the U.C. is one of Washhurn's largest clubs. Last fall Carolyn Cory served as president of U.C. The other otiacers in- cluded Laura Lee Snedeker, vice-presi- dent, Dorothy Bremicker, secretary: and Dorothy Lanham, treasurer. These ofiicers, together with the cabinet, planned the meetings. A membership party began the U. Cfs activities for the first semester. A style show was given, and the girls learned about the latest fads and fash- ions. The models were Meredythe Swanson, Lorraine Iohnson, Ioan Mc- Govern, Meredythe Bergford, and Iune Thompson. After the meeting, the looked-for refreshments were served. Upper Classettes' spring activities also began with a style show. Both spring and summer outfits were modeled. The styles ranged from sport clothes to date dresses. Lunches were served to con- clude the program. Many other inter- esting meetings were held by the U.C. this year. The officers who led the club dur- ing the second semester were Dorothy Bremicker, president: Ioan Reinke, vice-president, Mary Io Peterson, secre- tary: and Pat Hill, treasurer. lt is the tradition of the U.C. to work on some project every year. Dur- ing the past year the members took charge of all lost and found articles in the school.These things were claimed by the owner after school in room 201. The U.C. Club also decided to enlarge and redecorate the powder room. 'k ir -A' 'A' 'k it ir . . . Row Fourf Gaxett, Mitchell, Mcliratli, Martinson.

CHESS CLUB MAKES A MOVE If you happen to wander by room 318 any Thursday after school, you will see a group of heads leaning over the desks. You wonder what in the world is going on, and if you examine more closely, you will Find the chess club deep in concentration. This club has one of the most enthusiastic member- ships of any Washburn organization. At the meetings the members play chess among themselves. The aim of each individual person is to win a place on the VVashburn Chess Team. They gain membership on this team through challenge matches with other players. The Chess Team is composed of five members who meet every Sat- urday and play chess with clubs from other schools. The games are usually scheduled so that they have a match with the school whom Washburn played the previous night in basket- ball. They are planning to have a spir- ited tournament late this spring. There are twenty-six members of the Chess Club at the present time, and eighteen of them have played on the team. Tom Dalby is acting as prexy this year. He is helped by Iames Butters, vice-presi- dent, Omar Brown, secretary, and Louis Frohback, treasurer. Mr. Iackson is the adviser of Chess Club, and it is rumored that he enjoys the matches as much as the members do. POLITIX CLUB Politix Club provides the chance of a lifetime for politically-minded Wash- burnites to get together and discuss the most important current events of the year. These discussions get quite heated up, espccially with topics like these: Resolved, Russia should be given a free hand in the Russo-Polish border dis- pute. Or, Resolvedg Wendell Willkie is the most promising candidate for the Republican nomination. During the fall semester the otiicers of Politix Club were Sheldon Reed as president, Muriel Townsend as vice- president, Carolyn McLean as secre- tary, and Dave Speer as treasurer. Prospective members of the club take a comprehensive test on current events followed by a short talk given by each candidate before the club. The chosen candidates are initiated by serving at the Senior Farewell Banquet. This ban- quet, a tradition of the club, is held each Ianuary and Iune for the depart- ing seniors. This spring the officers presiding at the banquet were president, Gene Ben- nett, vice-president, Margaret Ollirieng secretary, Muriel Townsend, and treas- urer, Don Borrman.

If you are you shouldnlt miss the opportunity to join the Science Club. You donlt need to understand Einstein's Relativity Theory or the metal replacement series by heart- no, the only requirement is a true in- terest in this subject. This organization meets every Monday night and demon- strations are given concerning the three sciences-physics, chemistry, and biolo- gy. A select group is chosen from this club to belong to the junior Academy of Science which meets with the Min- nesota Iunior Academy at the U. Be- cause many of the students have home laboratories, the work is more inter- esting and gives each member a chance to do simple experiments. COMMERCIAL CLUB To students who have taken at least two commercial courses while at W'ash- burn and received marks of C or above, the Commercial Club is open. The main purpose is to join together those inter- ested in ollice and clerical work. The othcers-Virginia Lundberg, Athena Callas, Marjorie Tomlinson, and Mar- lys Monson have collectively planned the social gatherings. They seem to have done a good job, for the group has had movies, speakers, and skits which is certainly a variety. These com- mercial enthusiasts have made scrap- books of short stories for hospitals. The display case was given to this club for one week to arouse interest in the sub- ject. Those working in the oilice usu- ally belong to this club.

L941 TID-BITS 0lI CLUBS Almost every student in Washlviirii be- longs to one of the various clubs. There are language, science, art, literature, and service groups. The meetings of these organizations are so arranged that they are held on different days, which enables the students to belong to as many as they wish. At these meetings business is carried on in an orderly manner as there are club oth- cers to lead the meetings and an ad- viser present to help out. To become a member in one of these groups you must first meet all the re- quirements and secondly support its many functions. A simple initiation is given at the beginning of the semester to all new members, and it is here that their talent is usually displayed. Members of language clubs have raised money for a worthy cause by fining a person for speaking in ling- lish while the meeting is in progress. This system has worked very well as it helps the students to use their newly acquired language more freely. Interesting experiments are carried on in the Science Club, and they also discuss new inventions and theories. The Literature and Art clubs were created to encourage those talented in either Held. The club purposes are to promote social and educational inter- ests. if 'A' ir 'A' 'A' 'lr 'k 'lr PARLEZ-VOUS FRANCAIS? This yearis French Club officers Ioan Cooper, Lois Peterson, Louise Altman, and Martha Mills in working out a line program of entertainment and training in French, have made 1944 a very successful year. Aside from the many performances given for the members, the club pre- sented Les Dames Aux Chapeaux Vertsw for the University French stu- dents. The experience gained through the play rehearsals and the presenta- tion enlarged the students, verbal French abilities and increased their in- terest in the subject. Another outstanding event of the year was the acquisition of an honorary member, Mlle. Monique Boutet of VVest High School. Although she was born in America, Monique lived in France for six years. Her invaluable knowl- edge of French, her interesting experi- ences, and her sparkling personality are great additions to Le Cercle Fran- caisf, The seniors want to say 'fAu revoir et bonne chance to those who will be carrying on in their place next year.

That is the first thing you learn to say in German Club. This is an active club in Wasli- burn. A German movie director enter- tained the members with some hair raising stories. The new members re- ceived a rousing initiation. One of the highlights ol the year was a church service conducted in German. After the service the members had hard boiled eggs decorated colorfully, lunches and cocoa for refreshments. An invita- tion was extended to fifty Ramsay stu- dents to attend a meeting of the club.

All the students are required to take chorus until their senior year when some of them enter the glee clubs or continue music with harmony. From the chorus classes is gained a bare knowledge of rhythm and harmony, but it is a help in singing and playing. They learn part of the A'Messiah,' and the Creation,' along with patriotic songs. These com- positions require correct notes and tim- ing on all parts to make them har- monious. if ak if W 'A' 'A' 'lr When you have reached the end of a semester you not only know the first and last verses of the Star Spangled Bannerf' but you have a good knowl- edge of note reading also. Along with the chorus classes are the specialized groups such as the glee clubs, harmony class, band, and or- chestra. if 'A' it if if 'A' it Mr. Harry W. Ranks is the director of the harmony classes at all the high schools. Although you do not hear much about these classes they are very much in evidence. For students who want to continue their training and are taking some type of outside lesson, there is offered this class. It is advanced work in timing and melody. 'A' 'A' if if 'A' i' 'A' One of the big programs of the year at Washburn is the annual Christmas Chorus. This is given by a group of students from the glee clubs and sing- ing classes. All in all there are about 350 voices. At the beginning of the fall semester they start to practice for this occasion. The members go to 325 at 8:00 in the morning for practice, and they also rehearse in their various music periods. Yes, music plays an important role in the school's activities and is en- joyed by all. THE CHRISTMAS CHORUS was postponed until after vacation last winter because of a Hu epidemic.

Even the teachers grew pale when their shadows darkened the doorway. All kidding aside, their criticism helped us a great deal. Starting out our musical careers in kindergarten with a few lively games of musical chairs, we continued through the grades learning how to beat time and read notes. Those sought-for 'Aback seatsn were oc- cupied by either those youngsters with good voices or the sly ones who brought the apples. After giving the grade school a few gray hairs, we joyfully trouped over to Ramsey to heckle the music teachers there. Many of those first big dates occurred when Little Ioe took Little Susie to see their friends perform in the glee club operettas. As big nine A's we entertained our parents and classmates in the finishing exercises. This was our last musical fling until, as ten B's, we crossed the threshold of 325 at Washburn. Here we were greeted by either 'AMr. Bi' or George who listened while we nervously ran up and down the scale. A fine example has been set for students to follow by several aspiring artists of Washburn. Among the most melodious groups in the city is our sextet which sings at civic meetings as well as school programs. Radio careers are often begun in high school as is the case of Iohn Bergland who sings popular tunes on his weekly program. School sings are held for those who like to harmonize just for the fun of it. No, we don,t sing the top tunes on the hit parade, but instead the ditties that were written when Pa was courtinl Ma. We have had music with us all through our school life, and now we are beginning to appreciate the chance it gives us to express ourselves through dancing, singing, and playing various instruments. Washburn is indeed proud of its musical accomplishments. 'A' I944 WASHBURN WAHIAN-83 BAND-Anderson. Barnhart, lieaver. lllacltstanl. Broad. Hush, liylanil, Cafarelli. Calvin. Cochran, Corlnian.

We Work While We Play BAND Always assisting at football and basket- ball games. outdoor auditoriums, and many other programs is the XVashburn band. lt also is under the guidance oi' Mr. Super. The band does not study the deeper classics, as does the orches- tra, but the members learn patriotic music, marches, and overtures which lend a merry note to the many func- tions at XVashburn. Belonging to this group involves quite a sacrilice as prac- tice begins an hour before school starts. The members don't complain though, for they get satisfaction from their playing. CRCHESTRA The VVashburn orchestra does a great service to the school in many ways, and also adds a great deal to the enjoyment ol' school lite during the year. lt plays for auditoriums, commencement, class plays, and other occasions. These mue sical students meet every day with their director. Mr. Super. from whom they learn and study music of the great mas- ters. The good training and background that is given these students stays with them. and perhaps a future T Dorsey will someday loolt back on his start with this orchestra.

The music makers themselves appear to have a mild case of St. Vitus Dance While cutting such jazz classics as ULOW-Down Bluesw or 'IHarlem Nocturnel' to mention a few of the best. These numbers are specialties of Ed Bossings Band here at VVashburn. These boys may look sent while play- ing orchestrations, but when they real- ly knock themselves out is after the program is over, and they have an im- promptu session. This is true of all musicians who 'Lfeelv their music. By feeling the music I mean that they BAND THE LAND have an inner sense of the rhythm and tone that comes from an instrument. Three trumpets, four saxes, two trom- bones, a bass, guitar, and drums com- prise lid's twelve piece band. Iohn Berg- lund, their singer, is very successful in making the audience go into the well- known Sinatrance. This group plays at school for Grist and Wahian audi- toriums and mixers. The band is rec- ognized by the school as such a worth- while project that it is given the au- ditorium every third period to practice. Why we don't hear more of them still remains one of the mysteries of Wash- burn High. ir i' 'A' i' if ir 'lr Mixed Glee Club For all those interested in singing, the mixed glee club is intended.

At auditions Mr. Beckstrom, the in- structor of all glee clubs, listens for tone quality, harmony, and rhythm. Upon acceptance you are classed according to your voiceisoprano, alto, tenor, or bass. You do not necessarily have to be a member of one of the musical clubs or have an outstanding voice in order to tryout for membership in this club. No, the only requirement is a good voice that will blend in and harmonize with others. If you happen to be near the audi- torium during fifth period, you might listen in and you will End the mixed glee club rehearsing for the Christmas Chorus or the Spring Concert. Occa- sionally the members of the group are called upon to sing for outdoor audi- toriums, and they often lead the singing of the school. Row One: Mann. llahl, Marr, Roilcn. Leubner, lirelilte . . .

Clubs For Those Who Like To Sing Boys' Glee The boys' glee club at VVashhurn is a combination of alto, tenor, and bass voices. They are chosen from the chorus classes through special tryouts. Two days a week they meet in the audito- rium to yocalize and practice their songs. These songs are of various types -some are classical and some are semi- popular. But regardless of their kind, they are enjoyed by all the members. The boys' glee club takes part in many ol' Washhurn's activities. The Christmas chorus, s ring concert, and U. . auditoriums are but a few oi them. This glee club is an asset as well as a C7 pleasure to the entire school. Girls' Glee One of the outstanding musical organi- zations at XfVashburn is the girls' glee club. The members of this club often belong to the mixed glee club as well and are carefully chosen. The girls meet fifth period every Tuesday and Thursday in the auditorium where they practice their dillerent songs. They sing at the Spring Concert, Christmas Chorus, and other VVash- burn programs. At these assemblies the girls often sing with the boys, and their voices blend in many stirring and beau- tiful songs.

CHROMA CLUB Chroma Club is really a haven for aspiring artists. ln this club the mem- bers are given a chance to show their artistic ability and learn more about art. As in all other clubs, there are re- quirements for entrance to Chroma. Prospective members must draw three pieces of original work and also sketch from a model. The members judge the work and notify those who survive these tryouts. This year Chroma decided to do work in one special Field. The mem- bers made designs for paint boxes, dec- orated stationery, and worked on sev- eral other crafts. Their work was shown in the main showcase, and af- ter the display it was sold. The pro- ceeds went to the Memorial Fund and the club treasury. Chroma also does service work for the school. The spring ofhcers of this club are Muriel Town- send, Grace Heath, Virginia Riggs, and Dale Higham. QUILL CLUB With pen in hand, the members of Quill Club can be seen rushing to 303 any Thursday after school. At their meetings, original manuscripts are read and criticized. Carol Berdan has been president for the entire year, and she has had a fine group of assisting officers. Ioan Cooper is the vice-presi- dentg Iackie Susman, secretaryg and Virginia Schwartz, treasurer. At one of the Hrst meetings Robert Penn Warren came to Washburn and criticized stories and poems written by members. This year the club has sent seven stories, six essays, six groups of poems, and several reviews to the Scholastic Magazine contest. These manuscripts were not only from Quill Club, but from the creative writing classes too. Original material was also sent to the Creative VVriters, Confer- ence which was held in April.

It was named after Caclwallatlcr C. VVashburn, a pioneer in the milling industry of Minneapolis. ROTGGRAVURE Are you one of those delinquents who jump over the Please signs on VVashhurn's lawn? Do you try to heat the crowtl to the drugstore hy flying loxv over the green, or clo you ruin the harli on the poplar trees by carving 'Ahern initials in it? If you are one of these rugged individuals, W1lShlUUYH, in spite of you, has managed to keep lovely grounds. This year, because ol the lack ol' Financial support, XVashlvurn's ianitors have doubled their cluties and are now taking care of the grounds. This will answer your questions as to why Mr. liurt and his assoeiates are seen in the front row of Miss Lowry's hotany class. Seriously though, we are proucl of our schoolg and it is indeed an asset to this community. A popular place is Washhurns Fiftieth Street cloor, where pupils congre- gate after school. -2 ?i:WiA5H5.l?BN WA.,'i Al'L '944 KLL, LL LLL LLLLL, LLL , LLLL L L LL , LLL ALL WORK AND NO PLAY NOT THE STYLE AT WASHBURN Excrynnc likes to cut, but Mgirlys Irihgmson, Rosie llcgnmla, and Pail 'lliylnr cnjoy their lunch pcriml even more when thcy can Salt uutrloors ....

QUpper rightj Shading George Towne is that favorite, the snapper hat. QLower leftj VVearing a polka-dot bow tie is Bud Dale. Usower rightj Lois Sandburg totes an armful of bracelets. STUDENTS LEND A HAND IN FASHION FLASHESI Styles of the past year have been many and varied. The most important change is that unpurchasable saddle shoes have given way to strollers. Cream corduroy pants and lumberjackets have taken the place of Zoot suits. Newest hair styles for girls are center parts and braids, while boys continue to worship a heinie. The girls still go in for heart and charm bracelets, although the boys' key chains are getting shorter. Reindeer sweaters and ruFHed blouses are also the vogue. The girls wear long-jacketed cardigan suits, and the male population pep theirs up with Hashy print ties. Purple has been the outstanding color this year, although shades of red, yel- low, and green also vie for honors. Fuzzy angora anklets were all the rage, as were artificial Howers for the hair. Everyone is seen in shrunken-up trench coats. Monograms appear on every- thing. Bobby socks are most appropriate when listening to Frank Sinatra. No hat is preferred, but when one is a necessity, half-hats are most popular. Unobtainable Gokey belts have been re- placed by leather cowboy belts. High fashion among the boys is Flashing their enlistment cards for anyone inter- ested. The 'TUU neckline is the latest type for dresses and blouses. Service scarves are the last word in style. The girls carried their junk in tobacco pouches and wallets. WAR EFFORT X, ia..
