Behind desk: Dougherty, Cleve, Miss Brown, Hoppe, Rohner, Krause, Peterson, Pceke, Raihle I., Ilclmick, Raihle H. 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. STAGE CREW4Row One: Reed, Woodworth, Mallette, Mr. Parsons, Thiclen, Iedlicka . . . Row Two: VVebster, Hedtke, VVestling, Amway, Christophcrson, Ridge . . .

Row Four: Burdsal, Crandall, Kevern Library Board If you have ever been in the library at 8:20 just before home room, as people rush in and out with books, you have probably wondered how any system and order could possibly be kept. 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.

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.

I4-WASHBURN WAHIAN I944 i' HUSTLERS '6One hot dog, pleasef' This request was made hundreds of times last fall from the bleachers by hungry Wash- burn students. The Hustlers, Club really lives up to its name when it comes to supplying refreshments on the double quick. Many of us do not realize that they are sacrificing some of their own pleasures in order to unselflshly serve us. For their splendid volunteer service they are rewarded by being admitted to the football and basketball games free. Mr. Halvorson works with them on their projects. HUSTLERS-Row One: Soberg, Case, Franer, Thorne, Soltau . . . Row Two: Mr. Halvorson, Lagerstrom, Fillmore, Baker, Tomlinson, Asehenbeck W .... Row Three: Grant, Hallinan, Peterson, Radford, Aschenbeck A. GRIST SETS THE PACE The All-American Grist keeps Wash- burn students Min the knoww about school functions. 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. During the fall and spring semesters, the sports page was edited by Frank Chase and lack Gustafson, respectively. Official two o'clock. censor is Miss 'lDee, the advisor.

The editorials, current gossip, jokes, personality sketches, and service scripts are found on the second page. Girl Reserve and Hi-Y news are found on page three. All sports fans turn to the fourth page first because both Washburn and all-city sports news is covered there. The reason the Grist is so popular is that it is a paper written by students for students. -new qw usznqh, ' ' aw Wtrgngwnxrf You me.: nel men, rar, rv nnrlr old um with ehep.-crrvrnrre PACE-SETTER IF NOT PACEMAKER Entered as second elees matter November ls, ms. at lhe hurt amen at Mrnneepelle. lvllnrl.. under the net of March zl, me Puhllehea bl-weekly during the school year from the lest 'rhureahy In September to lhe second 'rhureday In June, lnelu- nlve, except hglldeye, exurnlnetlen periods, teachers' eenveh- tlun dates an Interval. between eer-heaters. by students of Washburn High School, Wentworth Avenue South and we-et Forty-nlntll street.
