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.

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. 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.

ik WAWSgljWBURN WAHI15-N-II STUDENT COUNCIL-Row One: Sherman, Bremicker, Iohnson, Mr. MacQuarrie, Karos . . Row Two: Spear, Gold, Stark, Bonncllo, Chase, Appel. STUDENTS REPRESENT US The members of the Student Council spend Tuesday mornings in Mr. Mae- Quarrieis otiice discussing various school functions. 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.
