Some students couldnit think of anything worse than being in the hospital on one of the biggest nights of their life, but Pat laughed it off and said, 'AAt least I didn't have to worry about tripping on my formal. On Ianuary 14th she was rushed to the hospital with a ruptured appendix. That meant no Commencement Pro- gram for Pat. The day following grad- uation, Mr. MaeQuarrie, Mr. Henley, and the class ofhcers visited the hos- pital.

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.

l0-WAQHBUKN WAHIAN I944 'k Cufsfanding Personalifies Winter finds Ken Thompson training for the ski meets. He was a member of Washburn's ski team and has won many prizes on his own. Ken was in Spurs Hi-Y and a member of the Credit Bureau. He had a very high mark on his College Aptitude Test, but, nevertheless, he likes Iimmy Dor- sey's records, hamburgers, and butter- scotch malteds Cyum, yumj. if ir uh' 'A' 'A' it it One of the busiest girls in the Ianuary class was Carolyn McLean. 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. How she found time to study, no one knows, but she was Z1 member of the National Honor Society. 'A' 'A' if ir 'A' if uk Dick Berguson, known as Puz,', was the mainstay of the tennis team. In his senior year, PuZ'l teamed with Herb Clements, won the city championship in the doubles meet. This offset his disappointment of the year before when he was defeated by West. Like millions of other kids, his favorite dish is steak, and he gets a kick out of Benny Good- man's Sugar Foot Stompf, Puff was president of his class in 12B and was active in the Cogs Hi-Y, National Honor Society, and Boys' WVU Club. 'A' 'A' 'A' it -A' 'A' i' One of YVashburn's best halfbacks, Iack Haircuts', Becker, was a member of Boys, WH Club, Athletic Board, Grist Staff, and chairman of the 12A Dress Committee. His favorite band leader is Tommy Dorsey, and while he is listening to TD beat it out he Cats french fries. As captain of the golf team his biggest thrill came when he led the team to the city and Twin City championships last spring. In the State Open last year he shot 71 and one under par in the second round to give him the lowest score of the ama- teurs. 'LHaircuts planned to enter the Army last February and become a paratrooper.
