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.

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 Three: Chris- topher, Morse, Magers, Socns, Larson, Schoberg, Davis . . . 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.

I glance at the door. No hope there. The editors are fiendishly gluing it shut. The assistant editor is holding my feet and left hand. Sentimental, ain't he? He's kind enough though to let me write with my right one. CLittle does he know that I'm left-handedj To think that I2 minutes ago I was peacefully bouncing through the halls on my pogo stick when the editors pounced on me with the happy news that this page goes to the printers in 2824 minutes, and where is my copy? VVhere is my copy? Ah, that is the ques- tion. I repeat: Where is my copy? Where is my copy? Where is my copy? Where is my copy? Oh, gee, only 100 words left. Honestly, some people are so dumb. I look around me to see the illustrious members of the Wahian Staff slaving to meet the dead-line. There is Art Litman eating paste, Mr. Claeson eating an onion, Wally Han- son devouring Esquire, Alice Golds- worthy sucking her thumb, and Louise Altman making pies with the shav- ings from the pencil sharpener mixed with water which she has, after hours of labour, succeeded to pump from the drinking fountain. I hope it isn't catch- ing. It must be spring. Well, anyhoo, Ilm off to the typing room in a gale of horse radish. Toodle-oo! A DAY IN THE GRIST VVhere the clang of typewriters fills the air, where the rattle of paper is never absent, where the noise of voices calling out, Where is your copy? The deadline is in five minutes! is a familiar sound, our beloved school's newspaper is created and brought to life. Let's take a stroll down to Room 220 and see what goes on behind that mysterious door. After giving the secret password we gain entrance through the sliding panel in the wall. Here we lind Dottie Lanham copying jokes out of the Reader's Di- gest, Don Borrman ruling out headlines, lack Gustaf- son giggling, and Stan Langland biting his fingernails. As we hewilderedly dodge the spit balls thrown at us by Lloyd Fredin, we are startled by a blood-curdling scream, alas, it is only Ward Ring discovering that he has made out the assignments wrong. VVe amble over to the bulletin board to find that Frank Chase is in the dog house. Also we Find posted ROOM not allowed on the second page. Next we come upon an extremely interesting black- board adorned with many artistic sketches, the works of some unknown genius no doubt. the jokes that were We pause in our inspection of the wastebasket to witness the climax of a snowball fight at the far end of the room. Miss Dowling finally succeeds in closing the windows. Look! I-Iere comes Stan Nowak in his helicopter. How the Grist stall rushes to meet him! How they maul him! You haven't written that story yet! they exclaim. We notice that Ioe Miller is making a hasty exit via the ventilator. Maybe it would be to our advantage to make a hasty exit also, for I see Miss D approaching with an axe raised high. I wonder if she wants a bite of my sand- wich. VVell, I'm too hungry today to give away any of my lunch. Let's gol
