Mr. George Frogen Endorses Our Product . . i yi l 2 Dear Sirs: Last Monday night Mother and I were thinking of all the past trouble Iive had with overcredulous Wahian staffs. Mr. Claeson has long shown predilection for preposterous and ple- beian staffs whose sole purpose seemed to be making piquant remarks about me. Pertinaciously Mother and I have clung to the belief that the publications of pedantic remarks might result in a nunny-watch. Having alw'ays been a paramour of milk, I consider the pic- ture of myself partaking of a liquid re- past no ludicrous matterflf I wish to congratulate this year's staff in that it has shown much acumen and astuteness in omitting any frater- nization with the canaille on my part. Thank you again. I abhor being a cynosure. If any humorous anecdotes had been published my cry would have been Alalagmosl or possibly just Alalal Alalalu as the Romans have aptly put it. Giioacii H. FROGEN, esq. B..-X., II.S., I'h.D.. M..-X.R.S., C.H. Vfherefore my thanks In you for not pub- lishing said picture. To the Students of Washburn High School: For your cooperation and success in the Schools at War campaign I, in my capacity as head of the Treasury De- partment, wish to congratulate you. We of the Department are proud that a school of your size was able to earn and keep the Schools at War Flag for even two months. You succeeded in doing this during the months of No- vember and December. The flag was earned by participating 'almost ninety percent in the purchase of War Stamps and Bonds. Washburn High School has been co- operating in the war effort to a great degree in the previous school cam- paigns. According to our records, in the spring of nineteen forty-three you raised the money to purchase twenty- three jeeps. This was remarkable even for a school of your size for the pur- chase totaled over two hundred eight- een thousand dollars ff5218,03Z.15j. I believe for your participation in this campaign you received a certificate with twenty-four stars on it. In the fall of nineteen forty-four, your pur- chases enabled an LSVP, Land Craft Personnel, to be sent to the war fronts. These purchases totaled twelve thou- sand dollars C31Z,0O0J. I regret that you were not able to retain your Schools at War Hag during Ianuary, but I feel sure that a school with as fine a record as yours will have the flag back again and keep it Hying. Sincerely yours, HENIIY' 1VIo1teisNTHAU January 7, 1945 Time Incorporated 330 East 22nd Street Chicago 16, Illinois Dear Sirs: In a recent staff meeting of the Wa- hian, VVashburn's year book, the gen- eral theme of Time or The March of Time was presented and unanimously accepted for the motive of our year book. We wish to copy, in exact detail, your cover, using Mr. A. E. Mac Quar- rie, our principal who recently passed away, as man of the year. In the back- ground will be the school building. The name Wahian will be substituted for Time. In 1940, with the permission of Life magazine, our Wahian used Life as its theme and copied the general plan of that magazine. The book received All- American rating and is still presented today as one of the outstanding year books in the country. The Wahian has annually taken All-American rating for many years with the exception of 1943. It is our desire to duplicate our record on the Life book in the 1945 Wahian. All our plans are still in the formative stage as yet. Before making more deh- nite plans we desire to again secure your permission to so pattern our year book. In my opinion our cover would be a definite advantage to you in adver- tising your magazine to the students, who will be your future customers. Many of us already read Time and find it very helpful in keeping us informed on current events for our general knowledge and school work. As the complete layout of the book must be done in the next sixty days, we would appreciate your prompt re- ply.

LETTERS LeHer from Time TIME MAGAZINE Ianuary 22, 1945 To the liditors: The Wahian is more than welcome to use Time Magazine as its model this year. As we look back on the VVahian of 19-11, we think of the Wonderful job you did in giving 'knew lifen to Life. ll' you do as well with Time as you did with I.-ife, we feel sure that your book will be a great credit to us both. Best of luck, and here's hoping for another All-American Rating. Cordially, E. C. K. Fnselt XVahian liditor VVashburn High School Minneapolis, Minn. Sirs: I have finally decided to write to you about a matter which 1 think will in- terest both you and your readers. Don't you thinkeit would be a Worth-while undertaking to give the 11A's a few positions on the Wahian Staffs? Every year each staf1 trys to make the VVahian a better book than the preceding year. Doesn't it seem logical that a group that is partially experienced could put out a better year book than a green staff? Other schools have had this question arise also and it has been worked out for the betterment of the book. The l2A's could easily retain control of the editorship but with the 11.-Vs as as- sistants. YVben the seniors graduated, their positions would be filled by the assistant editors, the 11A's. The editor-in-chief and section edi- tors would be elected and a junior to serve under each editor as their assist- ant. In this way the juniors would work side by side with the senior staff and then the following year they would take over with the full knowl- edge of the organization and material needed to make it a successful year book.

GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH The faculty paid off, in April, with an hour's auditorium after they had challenged the students to collect 4800 pounds of clothing for European re- lief. The entertainment, provided by Mr. Larsen, Mr. Claeson, Super and Super and others, was the first Qand lastj thing of its kind since vaudeville died.

Through the halls of Washburn echoed and resound- ed the mighty voice of Lloyd E. Qmust be 'Erbertj Alwin, our illustrious his- torian. Mr. Alwin had been under the illusion that Washburn students lacked the spirit and enthusiasm in supporting the basketball team at the auditorium. After much deliberation and little experimentation, Mr. Alwin believed that the students needed to be taught how to cheer. Attacking the problem with the un- orthodox teaching method which pro- duces such splendid results on his his- tory students, he presented himself on the stage and inspired the students to new unobtained heights in cheering. The spectacle was enjoyed by all. The results were very evident when that weekend Washburn outshone its oppo- nents on both floor and stands. We don't know who Mr. Alwinis little helper is, but he illustrates the in- spired and spirited response to Lloyd's cheerleading.

Iiilitorial Mr. lilcenor, Business Miss 'l'rowhrnlge, Art .bear Sulucriber We of the Wahian staff are very proud to present to the students, alumni, and faculty of Washburn High School, the 1945 Wahian. All effort spent upon this book has been for you, Washburn Students-that you might have a true record of what will probably prove to be the most happy and carefree days of your lives. As you turn from one page to an- other, you will see an unfolding panorama of life at' Washburn: friends that you may never see again, pictures of your graduation, banquet, class play and mixersg things you will want to remember all your lives. It's yoursl Never let it gol If a glance at this Wahian in the far distant future brings back to you memories of all the happy hours spent at Washburn, of teachers, friends, of parties, dances, and ath- letic contests-not those found in any school, but ones with the little difference that is Washburn-then the many hours that the Wahian staff has spent to produce this book will have been fully repaid. We of the Wahian staff wish to express our sincere thanks to Time Magazine for granting us the privi- lege of using its news magazine as the model for the page layout of our year book. We hope the fruit of our labor meets the high standard maintained by Time and does it full justice. It seems very fitting and proper for the theme of the Wahian to be Time Because of the conditions which surround us today, we are just beginning to treasure the full sixty minutes in every hour of the day. The time we have is all too short to do the many things we want to do. Without regard to time, the scientific progress of the world has leapt ahead. We, the new generation, must now step in and deal with the world and the many complicated problems of the times. With disregard for youth, death steps in and takes her toll from both the young and old alike. Many of our alumni and some of us will fall at her hand with a disregard for time and age, but dying for a cause far greater than petty politics or quarrelsg the' cause of freedom of man from want, fear, and oppres- sion, the cause of all Democracy. It is up to us who remain to win the war and not lose the peace. No greater job could be given to any generation. Yet, as these are un- usual times, so are we unusual peo- ple. We are willing! We are able! We will winl Twenty years ago Washburn was founded. At the head of this school for these past twenty years has been Mr. A. E. MacQuarrie. Time again has taken its toll and Mr. MacQuar- rie is no longer with us. In every walk of life, there are a few skilled craftsmen, who, when they pass from this life, need no memorials of stone nor any painted tributes to keep their memories alive. They have created their own memorials. The great painter leaves his pic- tures, the poet's verses far outlive him, the architect's imprint remains upon our cities. Mr. A. E. MacQuarrie-HMac - left a greater memorial than mere beauty. His memorial is a living oneg it came from his appointed task on earth. This living memorial is the generation of students-the thousands of young men and wom- en who followed his fine example of citizenship, high principles, and integrity, and who knew his under- standing heart. All of these thou- sands have gained something by their contact with Macy and be- cause of his whole-hearted devotion to youth, they have gone into the world to lead better, fuller lives. He lived and loved his work. Nothing more can be said of any man. We wish to especially thank Mr. Claeson, Miss Trowbridge and Mr. Fleenor who have generously given their time and energy to advise and help the staff in the production of this year book. Also, we extend our sincere thanks to the Miller Studio and The Bureau of Engraving, inc., for their cooperation in the taking of the many pictures and publishing our Wahian.

Beneath this dignity, there lay a thing that death has no power over-a kind and under- standing heart. He was our friend. Mr. MacQuarrie's sixty-one years were full of learning and doing. He was graduated from high school and normal school, and after teaching for six years in Wisconsin, he was grad- uated from the law school at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin in 1916. His six years of teaching gave him an under- standing of the problems that teachers and students 111USt face in the class- room and helped him to be sympathetic with their difficulties and appreciative of their ideas. A year later, he married Miss Mary Roylance Bergstrom of Nee- nah, Wisconsin. They moved to Min- neapolis after the wedding and have lived here ever since. Prime among his qualities was an inventive and original intelligence that made him continually interested in new ideas. ln 1918, he invented the First map and display rail, that is now standard all over the country. ln 1933 he copyrighted the MacQuarrie Graphic Supervision Chart that is also in national use. Mr. MacQuarrie was proud of NVash- burn. He was its principal from its beginning in 1925, and he never lost his enthusiasm or his deep pride in its activities, its achievements, and its goals. lt was he who obtained the football field and constantly backed all school athletics. He devoted his hobby of photography to the school and its activities, photographing the football games, the posture contests, and the class day parties. His other hobby was travel which he loved and talked of to many interested groups. Mr. MacQuarrie often said that his greatest satisfaction came from watch- ing students progress through the school and meeting them in their various phases of life after graduation. He enjoyed nothing more than to shake hands with returning alumni, especial- ly those in the service, and helping them all he could by recommendations and letters of reference. He felt that he, as a part of Washburn, was a part in the making of their success. Mr. MacQuarriefs plan for the Na- tional Honor Society has been copied by the schools all over the United States. He advocated electing students according to service, scholarship, and character. The fact that this plan has MR. M.XCQUAliRIl5 He sez high standards . . been carried out and made such a success is a tribute in itself to its orig- inator, in whose opinion nothing could be placed higher than a strong and good character. Those who have gone to Washburn will not forget him, for he gave to the school a spirit that is greater than any memorial that could ever be erected, a spirit that is known only in the heart, and that is everlasting. At his mem- orial service at the school on November 16, the thoughts of the entire school were read in the simple words: l'He is not dead. He lives. He lives in his schoolf, WASHBURN HIGH Early His+ory Twenty years ago, September 8, 1925, Washburn High School was opened. lt was, at this time, considered one of the most modern high schools in Minnesota. The original cost of the building, plus equipment, was nearly one million dollars. Until September, 1932, Washburn was a junior and senior high school. In 1931 the increase of students in the Washburn district warranted the build- ing of a new school. lt was first planned to build a new senior high school and make Washburn a junior high school, but due to the shortage of funds, the new building was made into a junior high school. Our first football team was organ- ized in 1926. The first game took place at West High School, the score was Washburn 0, West 20. Washburn's first football coach was Mr. Iack C. Wells. The football field was complet- ed in 1933. Our first game on the new field was with North High on Septem- ber 27, 1933. The score was North 6, Washburn 0. Other sports started in the school during the Hrst year were baseball, swimming and hockey. Leaving the pages of history for a moment, let us look at the present rec- ord made by Washburn alumni. We are all proud of our alumni that are serving in this war. We hope that after this war, we may build a fitting memorial for those who have served and died for their country. 7 ADM INISTRATION After twenty years as principal of Washburn High School, Mr. A. E. MacQuarrie died October 31, l9-H. Mr. L, A. Fleenor then became acting principal. Mr. Fleenor's job includes meeting with the Student Council and the National Honor Society. On the evening of February 8, 1945, the doors of the girls, gym bulged with gayety and laughter. Upon opening the doors we discovered the faculty dinner party in honor of that hoosicr school master, Mr. Fleenor. Preceding the program, a delicious dinner, which was planned by Miss Goode and prepared by Miss Mcfiune and her staff, was served by the cook-- ing classes, Carrying through the theme for Mr. Fleenor, clever place-cards were made in the shape of his home state of Indiana. A delightful program was presented by the faculty members under the leadership of Mr. Claeson. Mr. Martin Mr. Heckstrom, and Mr. Alwin opened the program by exercising their vocal chords in a midget act. Acting as stooges were Mr. Reque, Mr. Iackson, and hir. Sunde. Miss Dowling read Miss Tupper's original poem. Mr. and Mrs. Super entertained with several selections on the violin and accordion. Miss Trowbridge gave an original chalk talk on Nfr. Fleenor's life. Miss Perry presented a toast to Mr, Fleenor and a tribute to Mr. MacQuarrie. The program closed with a response from Mr. Fleenor. When questioned later, Mr. Fleenor said that he appreciated everything that Mk. l.iaoNA1uJ FLmNo1z Pri 71 ci pal had been done in his honor. He great- ly admired Mr. MacQuarrie's ability to choose an outstanding faculty. llc- cause he has been at NVashburn so many years, Mr. Fleenor feels iust as one of the teachers and does not wish to be put on a pedestal. l'le would, however, be the first one to advocate continuation of such parties. Mr. Wells, assistant principal, man- ages the selling ol' all school sport tickets. He adjusts all class schedules and has charge of the booksales. Bef fore Christmas Mr. Wells was boys' counselor. Miss Christensen, our girls, counselor, has charge of all girls in Washburn. It is her job to see that the girls who are doing poor work receive advice in their studies. She also helps girls plan their programs to lit the requirements for certain colleges. Mr. Parsons is Washburn's boys, counselor. Beside iuliilling the usual tasks of a counselor, he helps boys who are going into the service by giving tests and keeping records. Both counselors are senior advisers. They help with the details of com- mencement and the college aptitude. Miss CSHRISTENSI-IN Mit. XAIILLLS Mit.

WE PAY TRIBUTE The Wahian pays tribute to all the boys in service. From the Buck Private to Colonel no service is less important to us. We are especially interested, however, in giving credit to the slog- ging lioot soldier who has had so little of the comforts which have been his prior to 1941. As we go to press we are last ap- proaching V.E. Day. We do not an- ticipate any celebration, rather we shall solemnly accept the end of war in Eu- rope as a beginning ofthe way to end wars. Even the end of hostilities in the Far East will be no cause for jubilation when we consider the ter- rible suflering and sacrilice of those who make victory possible. lt is impossible to record the great display of courage by all our alumni in the various war theaters. We have chosen four boys whose records show that Washburn has been greatly hon- ored by their unusual contribution to make the world safe for democracy. In advance we oller an apology to those who have done equally well and yet, recognition has passed them by. Also to those who have received those same citations our congratulations, may we find space in succeeding Wahians to show our sincere appreciation. Sgt. Hugh Perry, Tune Class 1940, who was presented at the Wahian Au- ditorium, has made sixty-three missions. He has earned the Air Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters, the Purple Heart, the Presidential Unit Citation, the French Croix de Cuerre, and three Bronze Stars. Sgt. Perry has been in Sicily, Italy, and Southern France. Lt. Iohn Duntley, Iune 1942, re- cently returned to the U. S. as the only surviving son, having lost two brothers in the service. Lt. Duntley, a navigator, has won the Air Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters, been on sixty-live mis- sions, and earned the Presidential Unit Citation. The two Ratelle brothers, Ilerman and Alec, recent visitors to VVashburn, graduates of Iune 1941-1942, have made unusual records. Corporal llerman Ratellc was discharged lirom service having earned the Purple Heart, Bronze Star Award, and Citations for courageous action in the liuropean Theater, Lieutenant Alec Ratelle has won the highest Flying award, the Dis- tinguished Flying Cross, and has comr- pleted hundreds of successful missions. WASHBURN AT WAR WAR ACTIVITIES Bond Drive With over 2,47-I VVashburn alumni in the armed forces to act as an in- centive, Washburn students have made the purchase of War Bonds and Stamps their most important project this year. Our biggest and most concentrated ef- fort came last November when the entire school went all out in the Sixth War Loan Drive and emerged at the end of the drive with over 312,000 for the purchase of an LCVP Landing Craft Vehicle-Personnel. Under the leadership of Mr. Iackson, two armies were formed. Charles Sedgwick and Iohn Bowles acted as opposing generals and as a result of the enthusiasm shown by all those in charge, the cam- paign for increased purchases of bonds and stamps has been continued success- fully all year. At an auditorium as- sembly in November, The Hennepin County War Finance Committee pre- sented Washburn with the Schools At War Flag, signifying that 90 per cent of all the students bought war bonds and stamps that month. Our goal is to Hy the Schools at War Flag every month .... During the past year the War bond sales have been capably handled by members of the Sparks Hi-Y which has taken over the sale as its service project. In addition, in each home room, sellers have been ap- pointed and a careful record of all those contributing, is kept. Students taking public speaking under Mr. Claeson are required to give talks in each home room from time to time as part of their curriculum . . . Mr. lack- son states, The co-operation of the students during the various drives has been excellent. Without any special conducement or Iiavors, they have shown a sincere enthusiasm. At the last count, the total war bond sales for the year up to now have amounted to Si9,300.,, European CIo+hing Drive 'gClean Out The Closet became the slogan of The European Clothing Drive sponsored by members of the speech classes and held during the weeks of February 5 to February 15. And WVashburn really did i'Clean Out The Closet with the stupendous re, sult that more than 3,800 pounds were collected. The drive was started in the city by The Committee for Eu- ropean Reliet and enthusiastic VVash- hurn committees took it from there. .Xfter a slow start. the drive gained in momentum to the degree where it was necessary to lengthen the drive a week. Everyone was encouraged to bring any type ol: clothing that was still in a fairly usable condition from scarves and sweaters to shoes and rubbers. In addition the drive was publicized by an article in the morning paper and by mention on the radio. All the clothing that was collected was divided between the Relief Committees Ior Holland and Norway. .XII in all the drive was one ot the most successful war projects the school has ever carried out.

CLASS ACTIVITIES Graciuaiion On lanuary 26, 1945, 158 seniors graduated, eighteen of these were sum- mer school graduates who wanted to complete their education before they were called to go into the service. Two received their diplomas through armed service credits and one hoy returned from the service to Iinish his education. Though this class was small, they, nevertheless, left their imprint on 'XVashhurn and left hehind many pleasant memories. Their class play was a hig success, especially since it was revived after it was once decided not to he held. The play HYoung April was a continua- tion of the play Hflrowing Painsf' which was produced when they grad- uated from Ramsey. It was directed hy Kiiss Mclsaughlin with Ieanne Archer. Don Swanson. Dave Speer. Xancy Huher, lienny Finch, and Barh Leo starring in the leading roles. HA good time was had hy allf' was the report received from the 12A Mix- I 2 er. The class dressed up like hook titles with prizes going to Marlys Mon- son and Mel CJ'Neil for the hest cos- tumes. The smallness of the class en- couraged it to mix well at this and all social functions, thus making them a success. Everyone had a circus of a time at the senior banquet. This was partly due to the theme-a circus-and the ringinasters who reminisced the past and foretold the future. The Baccalaureate service was held on Ianuary 2l, at St. Luke's Church. The Rev. Frederick D. Tyner gave the sermon and several students read the Scriptures. The Commencement program opened with the i'Triumphal March from Aida, The talents of the class were displayed hy Barh Leo, Virginia Lull, and Marian Rasmusson. Talks were given hy Mary Louise Fnger and Dale lligham. Niarilyn Planer was awarded the Minneapolis Business School Scholar- ship. SENIOR AWARDS The Star-Iournal Award, which in- cludes a certihcate of honor and ten dollars, was presented to Mary Louise Enger in recognition of superior qual- ities of leadership, scholarship, and service. She also received the Bausch and Lomh Science Award. The Service Award, given to prom- inent seniors for unsellish service to the school, was presented to Audrey Iohnson and Iim Stark. The Margaret Grangaard Award is given to a senior girl who has out- standing athletic ahility, has earned a A'W,,' and has maintained a Bn aver- age. This award was won hy Pat Hessian. Bob Gold received the Dean Miller Award, which is given to a hoy letter wearer who has maintained a HBH average. Mark Mathews won the Leonard Moses Physical Fitness Mem- orial Trophy in recognition of out- standing athletic ahility.

Three years ago, approximately Q00 of ax said farewell to Raznxey and on the following illonday we enrolled in l'Vaxhbnrn, just across' the field. Now, 9 considerably fewer of its are here to say farewell to llflashbarn. Um' hearts are heavy with the knowledge that we will go our separate way: and never again .ftart together on the other .vide of the fqflil, Some will eontinne their education at college or university, others will work, and .ftill others will start their nzilitary training to serve Uncle Sam. Alany of oar tnemberx have already been ealled and although they will not be with ax for Commencement we shall thinlq of them and lqnow that they will be thinking of tts. We entered Washburn filled with enthnxiarni and antieipation of the thing: to come. Jlany of these things have been the enjoyable events and happy oeeaxionx we have had together. Uther things have been the lifelong friendships' we have formed. .lloxt im- portant of all is the baelqgrozznd of ed- zteation that we have reeeived. Thanlix to oar teaeherx, we have had a training that has better prepared its' to meet the responsibilities of the future. Whatever oar fatare may be, the axxixtanee of our teachers and the many friendships we have made throughout our years at l'Va5hbztrn will always be remembered.

EDUCATION Senior High School Upon entering senior high school, pupils are confronted with a choice of educational pathways, which de- pends upon their skills, interests, and future plans. A tentative high school plan is made in the ninth grade. This program must include the required courses and credits, and the academic and non-academic electives. The academic electives are languages, math- ematics, and natural science. The non- 'AWhere, oh where does the dangling participle dangleF!' Grammar, punc- tuation, composition, poetry, oral talks, and headaches gaily follow the student academic electives, which are known as HF subjects, consist of music, art, commercial, and home economics. Senior high school education is pro- vided without tuition charges to pupils living within Minneapolis. It is paid for by taxation, costing about S110 per pupil per year. Students in senior high school provide their own books which amount to between 155 and 256 a year per student. Other items of expense may include the senior budget, ENGLISH from first grade through twelfth grade. The lirst thing that greets the tenth grader is the huge American Literature book.

Miss Keyes, Miss Montgomery. and Miss Blessin aregthe first to demonstrate the tortures of book reports and required reading. After this, you enter the hands of Mr. Claeson or Miss Dowling, if you are extremely talented at newspaper writing. Haggard and trembling, seventy per cent usually live to enter 12B and that torture chamber of senior English. 20 which is approximately 36 per studentg subscriptions to the school paper and annualg and tickets for football, basket- ball, dramatic, and musical events. Many of these expenses are optional. Outside of the regular required courses are many extracurricular activ- ities which develop friendships, abil- ities, and responsibilities, and also aid in laying the foundation for a success- ful future. shock, others soon follow in the form of the minimum essentials, the com- position test, and the co-operative Eng- lish test. ln the tenth grade short stories, bi- ography, mythology, and historical selections are studied. Eleven-B Eng- lisli this year, consisted only of news. Perhaps this was because of the interest in writing news stories or the un- oflieial rumor that news was easy. Eleven-A English consists entirely of the study of Shakespeare and Eliz- abethan England. ln twelfth grade students study selections of the maior English writers from the lifth to the twentieth centuries. For thc more talented students cre- ative writing, speech, and modern drama are offered. Creative writing is intended to help the pupils acquire skill and appreciation in writing and reading.

Algebra. with its unknown quantities. is also offered in senior high school for those who wish it. ln preparation for engineering. medicine. aviation. and induction into the armed forces: trigonometry. ad- vanced algebra. and solid geometry are orlered for the juniors and seniors. Advanced algebra consists of the ad- vanced study of formulas and equaf tions: solid geometry deals with cubes and spheres: and trigonometry is the relationships between the angles. iXlATH TE.XfIlll:liSZ MR.

VVe can't have Quill Club: I havenit written anything yet. This familiar shriek resounds through Wilsh- burns halls as one ol Quill's members grabs paper and pen and settles down to await an inspiration. Quill is composed of pupils who possess a natural l-lair for writing and whose tryout manuscripts have been acceptable to club members. After careful judging by the Quillites as to use ot local color, style, and originality. the authors are notified of their ac- ceptance. Regular meetings where members read their original manuscripts and re- ceive the constructive criticisms of fel- low members comprised the calendar ot Quill along with initiation and the Senior Farewell.

Each shop has a Finely equipped room, and with Mr. Henley in woodwork- ing and Mr. Lee holding forth in mechanical drawing, our shops are among the finest in the city. VVoodworking generally goes through S-L but in rare cases can a boy go through S6. In every semester the boys IHUSI complete projects and then are free to make anything they want. This year they are making crutches for the Red Cross and one hun- dred pingkpong net holders. They have a hne supply of equipment and material. and so far there has been no trouble in getting them. 2 I Pitvsnixi. Senveigsz Miz. Pxitsovs. Mas. Momusov. Mas, l,IVINCDS'I'ON. Mit. Rroex, Mit.

Here they can discuss their ideas on current scientific subjects and work together on projects and experiments with those who have similar interests. After one semester in Science Club, the members are invited to join junior Academy. This is a national organiza- tion vvhich is very worth while being a member. Une requirement for ad- mission, however, is to be working on some interesting project. These proj- ects are then displayed at state-wide meetings. The Science Club members are also eligible to enter the many national science contests. These con- tests award educational opportunities in the Held of science and also money prizes. The club meets on VVednesdays at .5 oiclock, with hflr. Alvin T. Roder as advisor and Wyatt Nloe. president of the group. Other ollicers are lacque- line Iude, vice president, john Capa- rilli, secretary. and Vernon lirown. treasurer, Science Award-livery year. the sci- ence department ol' YVashburn presents an award to the graduating senior who lield shows the most promise in the ot science.

The last weeks of March were very significant for Mexico and North America. During the Mexican con- ference, plans were proposed and made concerning inter-relations. The secur- ity of nations was also discussed, along with their social, political, and econom- ic welfare. Trade pacts were also of major importance. More confer- ences of this type have been suggested to establish better relations. The rep- resentative from the United States was Cordell Hull. This spring the Spanish Club, super- vised by Miss Laird and Miss Tupper, has held many special attractions. Miss Hiscock, from West High school, spoke about her experiences in Mexico, and the life of a typical Mexican family, with whom she stayed. Elizabeth Bricker, the president of the University Spanish Club also visited the meetings, and told us of her trip to the University of Mexico. Entertaining movies were presented: 'lFriesta,', and 4'Viva Willie, and Span- ish records were played which proved eccentric but enchanting. Our own Miss Tupper told us of her fascinating adventures in Spain and South Ameri- ca concerning bull fights, soccer games and other sports, schools, movies, res- taurants. and Unight lifef, The famous mskc.

Spanish Club cabinet presented an amusing puppet show: UPeter Rabit in espanol. The Christmas party was high- lighted by the 'APinata, a special fea- ture, and movies of South America shown by Bob Parsons, Special talent was displayed by the club members in their excellent program, and clever dec- orations. The singing of Spanish songs, the business meetings conducted in Hes- panol,', and the delicious refreshments also provided for great fun and enter- tainment throughout the year. Under the fine guidance of the Spanish Club, advisers Miss Laird and Miss Tupper, this organization has a lasting value which is acquainting many students with their knowledge of a relationship with our next-door neighbors of South America. It is of great advantage to us in our present world turmoil to keep these relations close. AHORRE POR LA VICTORIA 24 German Club-lt you happen to be wandering through the halls some Tuesday alter school and hear strains olf A'Die Loreleiu or Wien', drifting out or Room 212. you will know that the German Club is in session and its members are probably munching Pfeif- liernuesseu or some other German cookie and are having their usual hgemuetlich time. The aim ol' Der Deutsche Yereinv is two-fold: to increase the students' knowledge of the German people, their country. and customs: and to give an opportunity for additional practice in speaking. To become a member ol' the club, while in First year German, the stu- dent must have at least a ll average and pass a test on parliamentary phrases used throughout the meetings. In addition, an original initiation is planned each time. Two of the outstanding meetings ol' the year were those at Christmas and Easter. Frau Doktor Iohnson, a native German, entertained the group with an account ol' a German Christmas. An Easter church service, conducted in German. made the March meeting very unique. Bert Maiers, the minister, greeted members ol' the congregation as they lelit, thus adding to the realism of the scene. Peter Stern, a German born student, showed lilms, made while visiting Germany. France, and other European countries. to both Iirench and German clubs. German food, always an in- teresting subject, was the topic of another speaker, llerr Hofer, an Aus- trian born baker. A trip to the Art lnstitute was planned and a picnic followed. The Sprechstunde, a German con- versational group, meeting each Thurs- day during second lunch period, is a select group ol' live, who with Miss Denison, the adviser, get together to make better use of their vocabulary. At each meeting a certain topic, de- cided upon at the preceding meeting, is discussed. One of the longer Ger- man words learned was Uder Selbstan- schlussliernsprecherii which, translated, means dial telephone. The Sprech- stunde, functioning in conjunction with the Verein. is open to all students, Election of orhcers was made more interesting this year by having the candidates give campaign speeches for each other. Die neuen Fruehlings- olhziere sind: Praesidentin, Gloria Thorsong Vize Praesident, Roger Schoeningg Schriftfueherin, Loraine Zimmermann: und Schatzmeister, Norman Schoening. Latin Club-The members of Latin Club enjoyed a variety oli interesting activities this year. The fall semester will be remembered for the enjoyable talks on colleges and the problems of college girls. Aside from these discus- sions and the customary heated debates on important national issues, such as compulsory military training and what to do with ltaly after the war, a new sphere of study was introduced. This was the plan to study Italy, its art and its music. Records of ltaly's fore- most musicians' works were played: slides picturing ltaly were shown. lt might be added that these excellent meetings were appreciated.

It is taught by our school nurse, Mrs. Annette lielanger, and is sponsored by the American Red Cross. The course lasts six weeks, and thirty hours are required in order to re- ceive the Home Nursing Certificate. The course is not compulsory, and Mrs. llelanger believes that the classes are more successful and that the girls learn more il, they are not compelled to take it. The marlis for the course are includegl in the gym record. The girls learn how to till hot Water bottles, apply ice bags. sterile packs, and how to make beds with patients in them. They also study the simple procedure of home care and the care of babies. First Aid+The First Aid course has only been given in VVashburn for the last few years. For the Red Cross certificate, twenty-four ses- sions are required. Most of the girls have taken Hrst aid in junior high, but this spring there are ten girls taking thc course. A certificate is re- quired to graduate, so the classes are usually composed of transfers from other schools and girls who for some reason did not take it in junior high or tailed to pass it. The course is more extensive than the one in junior high, as in VVashburn we teach the Standard course. which is for persons sixteen years or older. The tall course is taught by Miss Bowen and the spring course by Miss Thurston, as each has to teach one course a year to keep her right to teach. 1 INTERPRETERS XVashburn, with the largest foreign language departments in the city, olliers its students a two-year course in Spanl ish, French, and German and a liour- year course in Latin. l'Parlez-vous lranl cais? and Sprechen Sie Deutschiii are the first vvords taught by Nille.

CGMMERCIAL Commercial Clubfflne ol' the best- linown clubs at VVashburn is the Coin- mercial Club. which boasts of the larg- est membership outside of U.C. and Girl Reseryes. To be a member of this club, you must be taking at least two commercial subjects and be willing to attend meetings regularly. The ad- visers of the club are Miss Edith Thompson, Miss Dorothy Nash, and Miss Dorothy Stevenson. The fall semester found the Com- mercial Club concentrating their thoughts on a yery interesting subject gour allies. Each meeting was de- yoted to a certain country that is close- ly connected with the United States. llighlighting these meetings were talks given by members of the faculty on subjects which they are well ac- quainted. Mr. Dudley Parsons spoke on lndia and Miss Margaret Tupper on South America. The lanuary Fare- well Tea had America as its theme and naturally turned out yery success- ully. Otlicers for the liall semester were .Xthena Callas. president: Donna Nord. 1. rice president: lilanche Rice. secretary: .Xrmine lloyjohn. treasurer: lieyerly Coash, publicity: and Mary Sweeney, membership The spring cabinet decided that lfuture secretaries ol' .Xmerica would prolit by being shown the right and wrong in the business world. and therefore, the theme chosen was Busi- ness lftiqtiettef' At the same time, they decided a little instruction in social etiquette would be appropriate. This plan was liollowed by a Mothers' and Daughters' Tea. which was held during April. They also excluded etiquette from their program for one day when they had their spring picnic oyer at Minnehaha lfalls. inercial: Miss Srixi-xsoy. Miss Tiioxnf- sow.

Organized in 1928 to encourage Vllashburn students to make full use oi' their artistic ability, the Chroma Club has completed another busy year. The group, which meets ex'- ery other Thursday, agreed to paint the stage scenery for the plays which were presented by the Harlequin Club in the auditorium. They also kept the trophy case rilled with interesting tllSf plays of the various departments in YVashburn. Students who wish to join must subs mit three pieces of original work and also sketch lirom a model. The work is judged by the members and names ol' those who are chosen are posted in the art room the next day. Meetings are usually held in the art room under the supervision ol' Miss Trowbridge. The present ofricers are jean Brooke, presidentg Crace Heath, vice presidentg Ianice linger, secretary, Kay Spillane, treasurer. Original ideas and a sincere apprecia- tion lior form and color are stressed in all ot the art classes, taught by Nliss Baker and Miss Trowbridge. The art department ollers classes in Sketch, Fashion, Design, Painting, Commercial Art, and Craft. ln all these classes, stu- dents are taught how to express their ideas on paper and how to put their ideas into practical use. livery year the best things from these classes are en- tered in the art division of the National Scholastic Contest. .Xrt Teachers: Miss il4liUXYlSRll7f,l,, Miss livxiu-.k, AND BVDDIYG .Xit'i'ls'i'i.s 1'I,cl',v rar' your xk1lt'f1ffooA'. . . h:llRONI.X'lVl15S iliI'UXVllI'1llgC, lleath CScc.j, Spillane QTreas.Q, Butcher Ql'res.iJ, Root CY. llres.Q.

XYithout them, Miss Brown would not be able to run the library as efficiently as it is now. The members of course check hooks in and out and collect fines. but there is a lot more. Their duties include making signs, put- ting up posters. supplying teachers with books, taking passes, helping keep thc library in order. shelving books. filing. bringing passes to study halls, taking attendance. helping stu- dents find books, and making out over- due slips. These are. of course, not all of the duties of the library board. but it shows how important the board is to all of us. They answer any questions we might ask. and when we are in for a hook we have to report on the next day. they always help us find an easy one. They know where everything is. which believe mc. really is something. The members take care of all the maga- zines that come in, the display cases in the library, and last but not least, the rubber plant in the corner. All in all, the hoard does a good job: we should all be proud of them. Liisicaiu' BOARD-Row One: Helmick, liustis, Miss llrown. Raihle. Ilahl. Row Two: Mueller, Hendel. lioyjohn. Mattson.

How did I get that recipe in my cooking book? Seriously. though. in cooking under the supervision of Miss Hinicker. the girls learn about the body. Then they learn about the different foods and their values in them. They also can seasonal fruits and vegetables. This class also prepares food occasionally for the lunch room and for the faculty. The girls also learn the proper setting of the table and the correct way to serve a formal dinner. ln Miss Myra Coodfs sewing classes the girls learn several things other than sewing. They study interior decorating and effective color schemes in the room. They also learn something about etiquette. They learn how to write for- mal invitations. how to dress for dif- ferent occasions, the correct way of in- troducing peoplc and other courtesies worth knowing. The girls learn the technique of making their own clothes. .Xt first they learn how to readiust a pattern to fit them perfectly. Then they become familiar with the materials on the market. their price. their wearabil- ity. and composition. From these materials they make first of all, simple dresses, then suits, and later more difficult pieces of clothing. 29 MUSIC Band. The WVashhurn lland is under Orchestra. It is second period.

Despite the liact that the lune graduf ation is taking lll ol the orchestra members. those remaining are looking forward to another year ol work and fun with the Washburn orchestra. Male Chorus. VVashburn's Male Chorus can truly be called one ol' the best organizations ol its kind in the city. Because ol' its flexibility and range of voices. a greatly varied repertoire is possible. One of the chorus' greatest tri- umphs was their appearance with the famed Apollo Club last year. Under the direction of Mr. NVilliam NlacPhail, the boys practiced with the Apollo Club and then joined them in one ol' their annual recitals. Because Mr. Mac- Quarrie had been so fond ol the Male Chorus, they were asked to sing at his funeral. This, of course. was an honor and a privilege for all the boys. They sang one of Mr. MacQuarrie's favorite songs Friendship which seems sym- bolic of Mr. MacQuarrie's deep appre- ciation, not only for the Male Chorus, but for all the musical organizations. The Nlale Chorus, which is made up of tenors, altos, and basses. meets fifth period, two days a week in the audi- torium. Together with the mixed glee club and the girl's chorus. the boys sing in the Christmas Chorus, Spring Concert. and numerous auditorium programs. Girl's Glee Club. The girl's glee club is the female counterpart of the male chorus. These girls meet twice a week the sixth period to practice their varied repertoire. ll' you should happen to pass the auditorium some day and hear the whooping it up with I Love a Parade, or Strike Up the Band. you will probably guess that the girlis glee club is particularly fond of martial music. For the more romantically in- clined however. they also sing such songs as One Alone, and Sleepy Lagoon. These girls participate in two major music events during the year: They join with the mixed glee club and male chorus to present the annual Christmas Chorus: in fact, most of the girls are also members ol' the mixed glee club. The Spring Concert is of the other big projects that the girl's glee club undertakes. Many months of practice and hard work make this an- llllill concert one of the most popular and outstanding musical programs of the year. MR. Bfs Cnoites Ctaxss Prefty, IASII 'I 119 FLASH ! ! !

MUSIC FOR MILLIONS The Mixed Glee Club is one of the 1UOSt popular musical organizations in the school. This semester the glee club has been concentrating on a program to be given as soon as V-E Day is an- nounced including such numbers as Hloand of Hope and Gloryf, and a theme based on Beethoven's fifth sym- phony. Another project has been practicing the full-length opera, Carmen-music full of scintillating Spanish rhythms and melodies. The Mixed Glee Club has also sung lor auditorium programs and will give its annual spring concert sometime in May. Christmas Chorus. For many years the annual Christmas Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Emil I. Beckstrom, has been one of the most important and inspiring musical events of the year. The popularity of these concerts has increased so steadily in the past years that this Christmas a new attendance peak was reached. Hundreds of dis- appointed people were turned away and many more crowded the stairways and stood in the halls trying to hear this chorus. So far has the fame of this event spread that Mr. Beckstrom had letters from all over the country. A businessman living in Chicago wrote asking for a copy of the program, and numerous other people asked for spe- cial requests for friends, relatives, or sons in the service. To accommodate all the people who had to be turned away from the First concert, a second concert was given the week after Christmas vacation, with the proceeds going to Sister Kenny's Institute for ln- lantile Paralysis. Another program was given at school for students who had not had the opportunity to hear it. People Irom the chorus classes, as well as those from the three glee clubs, are invited to sing, making the total num- ber of voices over three hundred. Prepa- rations begin as early as October when those interested in singing come for rehearsals at eight oiclock. A great deal of time, el-Tort, and practice have combined to make this great chorus one of the best in the city. Washburii can well be pround of its Christmas Chorus.

These points are earned by participa- tion in all sports. The girls in this group have shown a real and active interest in athletics, and are usually leaders in their classes. The require- ments for City-wide wearers are, be- longing to the G. A. A., being a BWV wearer, and being able to maintain a C average. They also, must be recom- mended by either Miss Bowen or Miss Thurston. Because only two-hundred points are throughout the be very active. given in every sport year, the girls must These points are very didicult to earn as the team must win the school cham- pionship in order to receive the lull amount. A great many girls earn their W and fail to achieve their City-wide em- blem. Those who work hard and con- tinuously, receive full compensation when they are awarded their emblems. The G. A. A. Board is the governing body of all girl athletics at VVashburn. lts members, under the direction of Miss Bowen and Miss Thurston plan and help with tournaments, such as basketball, tennis, volleyball, etc. ln ad- dition to these duties, the Board awards VVls and City-wide emblems. Members are chosen each semester. They must be WM ivearers and meet the requirements concerning scholar- ship, and also have the approval of the Board, and the two gym teachers. The officers for the liall semester were Betty lo Bessesen, president, Mary Allen, vice-president, Margaret O,Brien, secretary, and Pat Hessian, treasurer. At the January election, Betty lo Bessesen was again made president. Athena Callas took over as vice-presi- dent, Barbara Griebel as secretary: and lilizabeth Ott as treasurer. The G. A. A. Board's purpose is to encourage every girl in school to take part in G. A. A. games and to promote good sportsmanship. Guns' Crrx'-Wini-.--Rinv One: Miss Thurston. Bessesen. Miss Bowen, Rozell.

The letter means a lot to these fel- lows and should mean more than a pretty emblem to you. lt represents many hours of hard labor and practice. and even sometimes physical injury. which the boys had to go through to give the school a winning team. Letters are given out in Washburn lor everything from football to golf, but you don't just have them given to anyone. You really have to earn your letter.

As we seniors leave Washburn, we look forward to a world in which we hope peace will become permanent. We are saying goodbye to many of our friends with whom we have enjoyed our high school days together. There were, when we first entered Washburn, approxi- mately four hundred of us to greet these famed halls. Now many boys have gone into the service of our country, and many more are prepar- ing to enter Uncle Sams forces. The most sorrowful and heart- breaking event of the last three years has been the death of Mr. MacQuar- rie. He will be remembered by all of us for his kindness, his gener- osity, and his skillful guidance. We want to thank the faculty for their patience with us, their dili- gence in teaching us, and their help- fulness if we were in trouble. We have had many happy occasions here -parties, mixers, and sports events. We are going out benefited by the advice, the work, the fun, and the many loyal friendships. Sincerely, PETER Kmtos Miss Margaret Thurston is now in Washington, D. C., train- ing to go overseas as an Ameri- can Red Cross Hospital Recrea- tional Director. A very warm welcome to Mrs. Loraine Gill, who will stay for the rest of the year. 50 SENIORS Charlotte Thompson l111l1111g111l 111 1l11' 1111111- 1111'1'1'i11l Qilllli.

' W7 KA s 0 is SPORT LEC-BION BASEBALL VVashburn builds athletes. This may not be true in some sports such as chess. yo-yo. or stone skipping, but it is true in reference to the Richfield American Legion baseball team, which is made up entirely of Washburn boys. They started their season ofl with a bang, by defeating Wold-Chamberlain Post 6-0. Tom Bergstedt and Rog Lundgren split pitching duties in the game, each allowing the Airporters one blow. a broken hip bone, Tom Bergstedt could not play because of a pulled mus- cle, and Roger Brown was in New York representing this section as an All American Boy. C. of C. dropped the first game to the Champs 9-0 with Lundgren giving up only 3 hits. The second game was a different story. The C. of C. forgot that they were meeting the great Rich- field team, and settled down and played an effective, winning brand of ball, defeating Richfield 3-2. Lundgren gave up only 4 hits, but C. of C. took ad- binder pitched them to a 7-0 win over St. Cloud. Fassbinder again came through in the final, to hurl the Champs to a 14-3 victory over Ford Post, St. Paul, for Richfield's second' State Title. The first game in the Regional meet proved to be a real surprise to Twin Citians. East Chicago, Indiana, sound- ly whipped Richfield 7-2. In the second game the boys were pepped up, and took an easy win from Appleton, 7-3. After defeating Appleton, Richfield was faced with the gigantic task of Row One: Otness P., Graumann, Adamson, Otness B., Ilollsten. Row Two: NVoolsey, Olson, Brown, Bergstetlt Lundgren. Row Three: Mr. VVarburton, Stark, Nash. Sovcll. Mr. Brown. MINNEAPOLIS RICIIFIELD, REGIONAL CHAMPIONS 1944 From then on, they rolled through the season defeating Lake Harriet 9-0, Bearcat 10-5, Laidlaw 8-2, and Law- rence VVenell 29-l. Between the schedule and the city play-off, the Legion team from Miles City, Montana, came to Minneapolis to play a series of six exhibition games. The game the Richfield Champs played with the Miles City boys is the only game the Richfield Boys dropped until they played Chamber of Commerce in the City Play-Off. Richfield then opened the Legion City Series with a three game series with Chamber of Commerce Post. The favorite, of course, was Richfield, with a record of I4 straight triumphs-favored although Don Sovell was out for the season with vantage of the 7 errors committed by Richfield, and brought in 3 practically unearned runs. Brown returned from New York in time for the third and deciding game in the City Play-Offs. Lundgren and Fassbinder gave up only 3 hits, defeat- ing the Chambermen 4-0. This gave Richfield the City Title, and right to defend themselves in the State Meet. The State Meet played at Lexington Park in St. Paul, brought up some very good teams. The teams entering were Moorhead, St. Cloud, Mankato, Austin, St. Paul, Duluth, Anoka, Mor- ris, and Richfield. Starting off, Richfield defeated Ano- ka l6-7. ln the semi-finals, Bob Fass- playing-and winning-three games in one day, to retain its championship. The games were one with Detroit, and two with East Chicago, the team that beat them the first game of the Re- gionals. LINEUP Hollstcn . . ........... ..,. 2 B Comer ,.. ....3B Paul Otness . . .

After copping the National Title for Legion ball, these boys came right back to school and easily took the State High School Championship, with only one defeat in the season. Without doubt, this team was the best in the history of NVashburn and, without question, better than any to be seen in the future, for a long time. The smooth playing and constant teamwork proves the ability of each individual player. Of the twelve games this season, the Millermen came through with only one loss, and that to Central by a score of 3 to 2. The lineup of the Championship team was sparked by the excellent pitching of Red Mellon and Barney Briggs, and by the peppy playing of catcher-Captain Harry 'fTriggerH Col- lias. Bob Danielsen, the boy who pitched himself out in the National Legion Tourney, came out in the Spring with a bad shoulder, so he did not see much action on the mound. He did, how- ever, play a sparkling game on the third sack, turning in an excellent ex- hibition even with his sore arm. The first team consisted of Mellom and Briggs on the mound, Collias be- hind the plate, Mellom or Briggs on the initial sack, Smith on second base, BASl'.li.-KI.l..-cztiklfll Ross. Fassbinrler.

The boys then took Henry for a ride in the City Championship game to the tune of 16 to 0. ln the game for the Twin City Championship, they topped St. Paul Washington with a score of 4-2. They then went on the road, and Briggs pitched them to an easy 7-0 Victory over Carleton for the District Title. Next on the schedule was a trip to Stillwater for an exhibition game with Stillwater lnside. Lundgren, Berg- stedt, and Feist shared the pitching honors as Brown, Collias, Wheeler and Mettler pounded the apple around for a 14 to l victory over the prisoners. Throughout the City, Twin City, and the District Tournament the boys played absolutely errorless ball. Otness, Smith, Wheeler, Briggs, and Mellom shared the honors for the high- est averages of the season with .333, 394, .320, .4l9, and .310 respectively. The team average for the year totaled up to .303, which proved that the boys were no slouches when it came to pounding the leather. The pitching staff showed well for itself with Niel- lom having 83 strike outs, and Briggs had 25. Back for this year will be Brown, Tom Bergstedt, Roger uPails Lund- gren, Gordy Slap Hollsten, and Don Sovell. This will, in all probability, prove to he the nucleus to another great baseball season.

The results were Roosevelt 40, Washburn 35. Two hrsts were taken by Myron Weaver. One was in the 220 yard free style and the other was the 100 yard free style. Russ Upham came in First in the 40 yard free style. There were three very good reasons why Washburn lost such a close meet. Sev- eral events were very close and could have changed the balance. Louis Fro- bach was third in the 40 free style. He missed second by inches. Herb Schoen- ing swam a very close second in the back stroke. Bud Dale missed second in the breast stroke by inches. Guess our luck wasn't there. Ianuary 23, 1945, found VVashburn and VVest having their annual water battle. The score was even closer than that with Roosevelt. W'est nosed VVash- burn under by only one point with the 38, Washburn 37. score ending VVest Herb Schoening did his best to take first place in the 100 yard back stroke, but Bob Winship of VVest was about one second too fast for him. Bob took the 100 yard back stroke in the city meet. This was the closest race of the season. Upham came in first in the 40 yard free style, and Weaver took two firsts in the 100 and 220 yard free style. Our relay team composed of Schoening, Frobach, lack Madson, and Russ Upham almost broke the city rec- ord. This was the last event Herb Schoening and Russ Upham were in, as they graduated in Ianuary. Even with the handicap of our losses VVashburn doused three points. The due to graduation, Central under by final score was Washburn 39, Central came through and 36. Weaver again paced the 'KC Jrange and Bluen with two Firsts. only two lettermen The loss of our by graduation was finally felt in the defeat VVashburn sullered at the hands of Southwest. The score was VVashburn 27, Southwest 48. The only firsts gainecl by our team were taken by VVeaver, Frobach, and Madson. Thomp- son took second in the diving. VVashburn tankmen Finally took a rest in the meet with South. All on the team were given a chance to par- ticipate, with Washburn walking off with almost all the Firsts and seconds. Frobach and Weaver took Hrst and sec- ond respectively in the 40 yard free style. Washburn thoroughly white- washed South with a score of 58 to 17. Washburn's outlook for next year is very bright. Most of the boys will be back again next season. With the ex- perience gained this season, Washburn will have a well experienced team that should be hard to beat. West better watch that title closely, or Washburn will be the proud possessor. Through the years the swimming team has had many different coaches, but none have had the iob permanent- ly. For a few years Mr. Lee had the team, then just lately Mr. Wells guid- ed the boys to success, now Mr. Super is taking over the job. He has been given the iob permanently. This shall permit him to devote much more time than has been given in the past to the coaching of the team. Watch the changes to come next year. FLASH As we go to press, Washburn's baseball team heads for Cham- pionship with four wins and one loss. Having defeated all the leaders by playing heads-up ball, the team will again present their able coach, Ray Ross, with the bacon!

Early disappoint- ment was met in the loss of Don Sovell and Ierry Smith. Don was slated for the quarterback post, but because of a baseball injury was out for the season. Ierry Smith, captain of the Orange eleven, broke his leg in a pre-season game with Patrick Henry. Both losses were a serious blow to the teamls chances. The season opened with a favored Orange eleven facing Southwest on Mae Quarrie Field. A fleet Miller back- held rang up twelve first downs to two by Southwest, but penalties and a stout Southwest defense inside the twenty yard line led by Tom Eckert, all city guard, held VVashburn to a 0 to O tie. After a great defensive game, Russ Up- ham, veteran fullback, was shelved for the rest of the season due to a shoulder injury. The following Friday found VVash- burn's second team starting against a weak lWarshall squad. The outcome was never in doubt as Gene Wachs- muthis two touchdowns led the team to a 25 to 0 victory. The next tilt found Washburn trav- eling to Central where they mct a pow- erful Pioneer aggregation. Central took the opening kick-off to march sixty yards for their first marker. The Mill- GOLD.

T Despite this fact, the game was not put on ice until Karl Kaufman caught Todd Metlerls pass and crossed the double strips in the last 43 seconds for a well earned 6 to O win. ln the Vocational game the entire squad participated in the 24 to 6 rout of the undermanned Volts.

While throwing a key block for Bob on this run, Mark Ma- thews. who up to this time was one of the city's outstanding line backers, broke his leg. Disappointment met the Washburn gridders the next Friday as they dropped a close contest, 9 to 6, to the highly favored but out played Tigers. Two bad decisions on the part of the ofhcials caused a pair of Miller touch- downs to be returned. The Orange and Blues lone score came when Bob Gold jumped high into the air to snare a Todd Metler pass. Washburn looked forward to the VVest game with an even chance of win- ning. Remembering last yearis 7 to 6 defeat at the hands of a VVheeler in- spired eleveng the Cowboys used their heavy line, which holds the record for beef in the city, to good advantage and stunned the Washburnites 34 to 6. Washburn next tangled with Edison on the Tommies' field in the final game of the schedule. The game was close until the final quarter when Edison pushed over two touchdowns to clinch an 18 to 0 win. Next year's returning lettermen are Bill Ewing, Tom Berstedt, Slap Hola sten, and Captain elect Bruce Larson. With the chance that Ray Smith may return to the head coaching job and an abundance of sophomore and junior talent, next yearis prospects are bright. FLASH After reading the line tributes paid Mr. Larsen in the daily pa- pers, the cinder pounders jour- neyed to Carleton and took first place. Washburn is proud of Mr. Larsen and his hne team.

The other fellows all made good showings but couldntt overcome the opposition. Schroeder, 103 pounds, and Alwin, 165 pounds, took second place in their own weights, and entered the state meets as a reward. A. B. Roder expects to see a First rate grappling club next year as only three members of the team will be gone and the other seven first string boys have plenty of experience. There are about Five other boys that complete the team. There are five letter winners on the team, SKI TEAM Because Washburn did not have a ski team last year most of the members had not ever skied with competition. The snow was a little late in arriving this year. There wasn,t an instructor available for skiing so they went ahead and coached each other. Even with these handicaps the team qualified for both the city and twin city meets. Bruce Simons took our only First in the city meet in the slalom.

Don't touch him or you'll be sorryll SEE!! Oh, vvell, you didn't need that hand any- way. The Army now says that Fido is completely Re- habilitated. SPORT GOLF It's time to get acquainted with the VVashburn golf teaml The group is led by Mr. Alwin, who is pretty proud of his club. About twenty-live are tryf ing out now, and out oi' these, a squad of twelve will be chosen. Of this team ol' twelve, seven will play in dual matches and in the city tournament. The two best of these. in turn, will play in the State tournament. Last year's team was captained by Tv Hoffman. Other members ol' the squad were Frank Chase, Gene lien, nett, Eric Giere. Ioe Swain. Chuck XVinslow, Dick Larson. Lloyd Freden. Hob Nystrom and Bill Heegaard. The team did pretty well last year: it seems Mr. Alwin predicted that we would come in third, and he hit the proverbial nail on the head, for that is exactly where we placed in the city tourna- ment. The prospective members who are trying out now have had a reputation for being good enough for a high school competition. The boys play two or three matches among each other. and they turn in the scores of any other games they might play. The scores are averaged, and the twelve lowest scores are picked. They are all a swell group and. considering that less than hall' ol' the number trying out may be chosen. there ought to be some pretty stiff coma BRAD PITNHY Sptlrlq of lfze Tt'lIIlli.V 'ITULIIH petition in the tryout matches.

The team is headed by Mr. Martin with seven on the regular team, and a squad of twelve. We used to play all the schools in the city, but, due to transportation ditiiculties, in the past one or two years we have played only those schools in this section of the city-Roosevelt. Cenf tral, VVest, and Southwest. Last year our captain was Iohn Dun- nigan. He was an outstanding mem- ber oli the squad and won the state singles tournament.

In the all-city competition at the l,'niversity we won the city champion- ship with a score of live love. That wasn't enough Ior our team, so they went on to win the State Champion- ship. This yearis team is to be headed by Iirad Pitney and returning from last year are Tyler Murphy and Nlousie Salkin.

VVashhurn stamped out South to a well earned vic- tory ol' -lf: to 39. Our accurate long heaves from midlloor provided the lin- al margin of victory. Gale Testin was the man ol' the day, with 13 points, liol- lowed hy Stark with ll.

Stark was the spark that led our team with 21 points. The Millers outshot. outplayed, and outscored the Southwest five to slide to an easy victory of 37 to 25. Alter this game Stark was acclaimed the out- standing forward in the league. On Ian. 19th VVashhurn tangled with Henry for a 30 to 41 loss. VVash- hurn was ahead up to the last quarter. hut Henry won over our never-give-up Miller live. It looked like the upset ol' the season, when Testin had held Kle- lntyre to a mere 5 points, and we were well in front at the half. The Pats gained speed in the third quarter. to close the lead to one point. llenry rallied in the liourth quarter making the linal count ll to 30. Central took the Millers in their own style of play as they traded huckets to win 35 to 39. This was the last game lor the lighting trio ol' Mettler, Testin, and Stark.

A hrilliant and lightning-like XVest live outsped and outscored a gallant Orange trihe. and with the additional luck of NVashhurn missing Zl liree throws they easily won to the tune of 34 to 21. The Rossmen closed the season with 5 wins and 5 losses. hut the team real- ly deserves much more praise and rec- ognition than the scores indicate. They had some really close games which were pretty tough to lose. The team was an excellent display ol: teamwork and truly one ol' the most outstanding teams of the league. The loss ol' Met- tler. Testin, and Stark was felt quite a hit hy the team but the hoys moved right in and lilled up the gaps. Don Sovell and Iioh NVoolsey came through in the last part of the season to show some outstanding play. The outlook is pretty good for next year's team with the hoys gaining lots ol' experience this vear, Congra+ula'I'ions! Iim Stark, who learned his rine art ol' haskethall under Coach Ross, entered Hamline in Ianu- ary. There he continued his fine playing with another outstand- ing team. If lim had finished the season at VVashhurn he would have heen honored on the All- City team. SPORT TRACK SEASON I944 The I944 track season was opened with the Metropolitan meet. Ilecause this is the first meet, all of the schools size up their own players along with other schools. VVashburn totaled 31.2 points which was enough to start our gallant school ofl with first place at the first meet. Track teams are l1Ot always gifted with several men that win first places in almost every event. YVashhurn's team had to work as a team hecause it needed every point it could get. ln the Metropolitan meet the only first place scored was hy Gene VVachsmuth on the low hurdles. Bob Canton and Holi lloff ran the 880, Bill Spires the l6fJ, and Gates the -l-ffl. The hurdles were covered hy Mark Mathews on the high, and Gene VVachsmuth with Holm Gold on the low. Rollie Crandall, Louis Frohach and Mark Mathews were our high jumpers. Chuck Moses did our hroad jumping. Our relay team con- sisted of liuckey Carlson. Hill Spires. Bruce Simons, and Pat Romano. The XVashhurn-Southwest meet was the closest meet of the season. Final score was Southwest 5622 points and VVashhurn 562-Q points. lioth teams fought for all the points they could get. One hall' of a point could have won or lost this meet for either team. Wztsli- hurn has never lost a dual track meet, with Mr. Larson as coach, in the last ten years.

THE GIRLS MAKE A GETAWAY Ready-Set-Go! 64 SPORT A+hle+ic: Alice Wins Her LeHer This is the story of Washburn's own Athletic Alice. Alice was the first girl in the history of Washburn to win her W and city-wide emblem while in IOB. She did this by taking the swimming test at the Y.W.C.A. in which she stayed under water for the required ZZM4 minutes thus earning two more points towards her letter, which left her only 495 Inore to go. This alone proved that Alice was no shirkerl Alice also went in for hiking. After reading on the bulletin board that IH points could be earned every time a girl walked around the track at noon, she gulped her lunch down in fourth period and immediately afterwards ran out to the track. Now Alice did not cheat as some scoundrels did by cutting half way across the field live or more times, Qrather stupid wasn't shc?Q, but she went round and round, because, be- sides winning the points, she wanted more than anything to be on the Cud- dlesw football team. Captain Solon had told her there might possibly be a posi- tion open for 210-pound Alice. Now Alice realized that she would also have to enter tournaments in order to win her letter and emblem. So she sought out her best friend 'fMaggie Muscles who was not quite as power- ful as Alice, but often confused her opponent with her four arms. Maggie and Alice entered all the tournaments: badminton, tennis, speed- ball, and lastly basketball. Some thought it was unfair for Maggie to enter this last sport as she was ten feet two inches tall in her stocking feet. Finally, Maggie was disqualified when Miss Bowen caught her in the gym Hoor without her middle name on her gym shorts. The day finally came when Alice re- ceived her awards, and gaily tripped home to build a new woodshed. ' - ' as . Aifxtahasisfff BLOCK THAT KICK For the first time in the history of Washburn two new football teams have threatened the fame and glory of Mr. Wells' gridmen. No, they are not the hard fighting Teddies from Roosevelt, nor the fast and tricky West High Cowboys, but merely two all-girl teams named the Cuddles', and Snug- glesf, These amazing girls won City-wide recognition with their com- pletely different and daring plays. A great deal of credit goes to the cap- tains, Pat fdon't let Beringer byj Solon and Eleanor Balch. A memorable game was played at Homecoming last fall between the halves. The final score was 6-6 with Ianice Enger and crazy-legsw Margie O'Brien, making the thrilling touchdowns. Another team that deserves mention is the Gopherettes', captained by Pat Hessian. This team played Southwest and many other schools through- out the city. Such stars as Barb Leo, Mary Rozell, B. I. Larson, and many others, will go down in the annals of football history at Washburn. I 1 i GYM CLASSES HAVE X7ARIliD PROGRAINT F0111 dancing and badminton Tennis of late has become one of the most widely enjoyed and best liked activities among the VVashburn girls. By participating in this sport, students may earn 50 points per season. It is a rather strenuous game, but it helps to promote physical fitness. The girls play singles only, and in that way compete with each other for the title of school champion. This title was taken over last season by Ele Balch. Couples may make arrangements between themselves for the time and place of the games to be played, providing that they meet a certain deadline. Four games are played together. Badminton is played before and after school. and is becoming more popular every year. Girls who work on Monday evenings are allowed to sign up for morning games. Badminton is played in doubles, and those winning three out of four games remain in the play- oil until defeated. The winners in each grade receive extra points. Tumbling. This gym class is one of the most strenuous, but popular, of- fered to girls. Besides individual acro- batics such as cartwheels, handsprings, and backbends, the members make pyr- amids. Tumbling not only is fun, but also alliords excellent physical exercise. Girl W Wearers. Any girl at NVashburn is eligible for a WV if she has uersevcrance and a real likin f for l . . if , all sports. There is also a minor detail of 600 voints ulus a NC avera ve, vlus I y l 21 . l a recommendation from Mr. Fleenor, Miss Christensen, and the two gym teachers. SPORT Volleyball is a very popular indoor sport with girls here at Washburn. The object of the game is to keep the ball going back and forth over the net un- til it slips through the fingers of some unlucky player. The last game was played on the stage before an all-girl auditorium. Af- ter very close playing, the l2A's came out victorious over the l2B3's. Speedball is the first G.A.A. game of- fered in the Fall because of its simple rules and the large number of girls able to participate in it. This is an exciting game which includes running, kicking, and passing. Deck tennis, which is an individual sport, is played by the girls in the gym where a number of courts are marked off for this purpose. The rules of this game are much like tennis. Modern Dance. Offered to girls in llA, IZB, and IZA, modern dancing takes the place of the regular gym class. Through it, the girls learn to interpret music into a variety of dance patterns. The class is divided into groups which work individually. Folk dancing is one of Miss Bowenis most popular classes. The girls are taught dances of many different na- tionalities, such as the American square dance, the polka, the schottish, and many others. Miss Bowen enjoys this class almost as much as her students do. TENNIS CHAMPS Balch and lenkins 65 l2B HOMEROOM Cutting paper dolls, and laughing at everyone else who does, occupies every minute of the l2B,s social life. They do not have much time for this so called social life though, for English Literature, Civics, and two other sub- jects they have chosen just about fill their every waking hour. Twenty some members of the class have worked hard enough to merit member- ship in the National Honor Society. Every member of the class has read the Constitution forwards, backwards, and upside down. Even then, it is still impossible to answer the questions in the next test dreamed up by some fiendish civics teacher. M.-treks AND Fruuivns President told his czfxixzzznts 66 Everyone does not take chemistry, but the majority of the class tries their skill at blowing up the school. Since this is impossible because Washburn is built like a prison, the student tries to eliminate himself. Washing with sul- furic acid, or drinking nitric acid at frequent intervals are two of the most common methods. Homeroom meets in 325. The whole group meets there to discuss Grist fees, laboratory fees, or just another collec- tion. There isn't much discussion. It is more, K'Yes sir.

'l'11w11t-, HA HOMEROOMS Is this a dagger I see before me? -Probably not. Most likely it is some 11A who is trying desperately to get his Shakespeare quotations learned by third period. This is very likely since it is in llA that the students put aside their English grammar books and pick up, instead, a fat red book labeled The Complete Works of You-know-whof, It is a very interesting course, though, and in spite of the long hours full of agony that must be spent on outlines almost everyone admits he has gained a real appreciation of good literature from it. English is quite an eventful subject in llA, for it is then that the students write their first term themes. They usually get a subject having to do with Shakespeare, his England, or his works. The VVashburn library offers much good material on these subjects so the students do not have to look very far for their information, but getting it to- gether, taking notes, preparing the talk, and finally putting the theme itself to- gether is one long tedious task. A reward is given to them though, for when the students have been through all this toil, they are accepted by the seniors as full-fledged upper classmen. Then, too, the tenth grade and llB,s begin to look upon them as superiors. 68 11A is the beginning and the ending of a lot of things. It is the end of the required American history course and for many it is the end of two years, study of French or Spanish. The Girl Reserves change from Silver Triangle to Blue Triangle. This grade is the end of a two year term with the same bunch of classmates in the same home- room, for in 12B they will be in the large homerooms with both boys and girls. That is why llA is such an impor- tant grade. 3l3 That genial gentleman of geometry and the higher mathematics advises a very lucky homeroom. Almost every- one has Mr. Martin for class at one time or another, so his homeroom stu- dents are models olf what the smart boy will do this year. Even Bill Mathews from Chicago and Bob Kacher from St. Thomas seem to have caught on. Gene Becker, beaming YVar Stamp salesman, bludgeons the first one who says no. The record is almost perfect.

They find themselves in an American history class working harder than ever. another semester to They still have look forward to, but time flies so fast that there doesnit seem to be enough class periods in which to cover the whole book. Some of them are taking Iournalism or Creative Writing instead of regular English S4, Both classes involve much writing-the former covering the new field, the latter taking in magazine writing, novels, poetry, and radio script writing. For the first time, HB girls are al- lowed to join the U. C. Club and the llB boys are able to join Hi-Y chap- ters. This year the U. C. Club has re- gained its popular place in the club groups, and many of the girls are find- ing U. C. the best in school. The Hi-Y chapters have always been everything the boys have wanted in a club. llB is the last semester the girls may be members of Silver Tri Girl Re- serves. Though it's hard to think of breaking up the old group after a year and a half, the girls look forward to next fall and the older group, Blue Tri. ln HB, the students are given more responsibility. They are allowed more 72 members on the student council and are chosen as leaders in the clubs they have joined in their past year. Besides all these new activities, the llB,s as the newest juniors may go to the Iunior-Senior Prom. The dance is formal and usually held at one of the best hotels in Minneapolis. The llB's are coming up in the school. Before they know it, they too will be graduating. 207 207 has been a leader when it comes to contributions to school activities. Their record is 10021, purchase of War Stamps each month, plus generous con- tributions to the War Chest and Red Cross. How can the room help but have fun with Mr. Alwin advising? There are three outstanding sportsmen-Russ Olson, backetball and baseball, Bob Meehan, track, and Bud Dale, swim- ming. Bud can be heard playing boogie Woogie any day of the week-on his desk.

The l0Als develop that VVashburn look in no time and can be expected to pounce on the l0B's as furiously as the upper classmen. Perhaps their schemes are more riendish lor their first bewildered moments at Washlvurii still upset them. W:1shburn,s many clubs swing open to the l0A who possesses the require- ments needed for membership. Many of the faces in the eleven following pic- tures may be found in Latin, Spanish, French, Politix, Science, or others ol' the many club groups. .X detailed study ol' American Litera- ture has accompanied the student since his arrival at VVashburn. American literature as an influence in Americffs historyw takes up the greater part ot A day which leads many to mild hysterics is that day of days when the English Minimum Essentials tcst is giv- en. The nights previous to the zero hour are accompanied by mumblings heard throughout the district. lt is the only way to learn spelling. As a trick of late, linglish composi- tion tests tollow close on the heels of the minimums. There seems to be no method for studyingAthe topics al- 74 ways are impossible.

The halls are so longf! or perhaps, HThe rooms are awfully hard to find. One of the most gruelling experi- ences the Sophomores must undergo is the buying of text books. After getting their yellow slips signed by their teach- ers, they take their places at the end of the long waiting line. Wlhen they get to the window it probably closes, or else they discover they are at the wrong counter anyway. When they finally have purchased their books, they find that they have to go through the same thing all over again to get their locker numbers stamped on the books. After a morning ol' getting pushed around and walking in a daze, a bell rings, and they all lile down to the lunch room. There, their worries begin all over once again, for now they tnust find seats with their friends. This ac- complished, they settle down to a hearty lunch. On the more serious side. they get their lirst tastes of a real l.Q. test, the Nlinimum lissentials Test in linglish, and the Composition Test. They also begin to realize what it is like to have at least an hour's hotnework. 76 Their homerooms serve many pur- poses lor the ten bees. They find there, an adviser who is willing to discuss with them their future programs. They may also find a few minutes to catch up on their world history assignment, or, perhaps, a chance to just relax for a few minutes before another day of hard work. But after the strangeness of the 'LBig Housel' wears oil, they usually agree that it is a pretty swell place after all. VVashburn, too, likes its ten bees, for they are the luture leaders of the school. When they once know their way around the l'Labyrinth,,, they can be seen attending the various club meet- ings which are open to them, buying their 'lfiristsf' and studying their Latin and geometry like veterans. 2 These llll3's have started out well in Washburn. Their subscriptions to the Grist are 1000, They have been work- ing hard all semester to establish rec- ords that will surpass their fellow grade liomerooms They planned to use their long home room periods to advantage by discuss- ing the fundamentals of aviation. These plans worked out very well and it ought to help them a great deal in their life after school. Members are-Row One: Mr. Lee, Protten- geier, Pohren, Swanson, Gardner.

Hansen, THE GRIST Pacemaker if Noi' PaceseH'er f'The Grist is one of the top ranking high school newspapers in Minneapo- lisfl That is the opinion of other high school students. VVe here at VVashburn, of course. know that to be unquestion- ably true. VVhat makes a school paper gain such high esteem? It is due to the con- tent of the Grist, its organization, edi- tors, and incomparable adviser, Miss K. B. Dowling. VVithout her the Grist could never have attained such success. The first page carries all the main news and latest flashes. Don Swanson and Athena Callas held the reins as editor-in-chief and assistant until lanu- ary graduation. Then Duane Ness, as- sisted by Bill Kalar, took over. Page two is the big HA HA page. lt contains the feature stories, jokes, and editorials. Barbara Griebel edited the second page both terms. She was assisted by Harry Anderson during the first term. The school page, page three, is made up of secondary news, clubs, jive col- umn, and alumni news. Bob Canton was third page editor assisted by lean Dahl and Iackie Roth until gradua- tion gave the job to Athena Callas and Harold Winston. Latest in the world of sports is found on the fourth page. The Speer brothers monopolized the sports page with Dave as editor until Ianuary graduation gave the job to brother Dick. Balancing the books and being business manager kept Gordie Lewis busy until he graduated. Since january john Sief has been chief ink slingerf, The job of the news editors is to make sure that all assignments are post- ed and come in on time. First term news editors were Nancy Nightengale and Betty lo Bessesen. Second semester found Betty lo back again, this time with Dick Hansen as assistant. During the M.H.S.P.A. convention at the University of Minnesota last No- vember the Grist walked ofl with a first place in page make-ups. Barbara Griebells editorial on Mr. NlacQuarrie won Hrst place in the editorial group. ,Dave Speer took a first prize for his sports stories on basketball. Bill Replo- gle's cartoon won a third place in the cartoon class, and Don Swanson re- ceived honorable mention for his news stories. Incidentally, Dave Speer was president of the M.H.S.P.A. in 1944.

Something new is a small fine in- flicted upon all those who try to snitch their lunches, or any one else's, before time, in the halls. Contests were held to see who could smile the sweetest, and say 'Khellon the most distinctly to Mr. Wells, with their mouths full of sandwiches. The best football game was our Homecoming with North, in which Teddy Mettler threw the ball to Karl Kaufmann, who immediately became a hero, after he fiew over our goal to make the only score-6-0. Another best was putting on Washburn's first fwe hate to admit itj dance after the big game.

The fight against all the war restric- tions that our year book has been con- tending with. Due to the contract Mr. Fleenor com- pleted with the printers last year, we are lucky to have the same superior quality that was in the year book last year. If it hadn't been for the carryover of the contract we would have had fewer pages in the book, inferior paper, and an allover inferior job. Also we would have had to raise the price of the book. As it is, we are limited to a 96 page book. The main shortages are in the supply of good 'quality paper and films. The photographer has had con- siderable trouble getting flash bulbs and large size films. He has also been up for call into the army and didn't know if he'd be able to finish taking the pictures before he left. However, as yet he hasn't been draft- ed, so we were lucky to complete our picture schedule, The pictures are bet- ter quality than many other high school year books. There has been a shortage of ink at the printers too. But in spite of all these wartime re- strictions, the Wahian has come to a successful completion and we on the stafT certainly hope you will be as proud of it as we are. WAPIIfXN Enrroas Newman, Larson, Enger, Dahl, Fcfrrif WAHIAN EDITORS We present the last photograph of the five guilty editors of the WAHIAN before death in the lethal chamber below the school. Guilty of usurping the innocent students' funds for their own uses were the two busi- ness editors, Iune Newman and Mary Larson. Iune turned to the life of crime when she left plucking the base fiddle in the band to answer the lure of the WAHIAN room for could it have been Louis?j. Respon- sible for all the misspelled words and the lack of capitals are the two editorial chiefs, Iean Dahl and Don Ferris. Besides losing all pages from 12 to 22, Don and lean spent their time wrestling each other for the last Cheerio .... The so-called art editor, Ianice Enger, sank the lowest of all in the opinion of the jury. She was discovered in 201 at midnight drawing moustaches on the pictures for the faculty section. To add to her guilt, she later confessed to brib- ing the studio to put her picture on the back cover. Farewell editorsl Iustice triumphs again! 8I PU BLICATIO THEY PLAN IT The Art Stall, helped by a suggestion now and then from an 'lover-anxious, shall we say, member of the Editorial Stall, really plans the VVahian. After a theme is chosen the job of the Art Stall is to adapt the annual to the theme. They arrange page lay-outs, mount pictures, and plan opposite pages, so that they balance. This year Ianice Enger was editor of the Art Staff, and Miss Trowbridge was the advisor. Alu' S'rixF1f-Row One: Iioyd, llilliard, De Gouda. Dohm, Row Two: Lund. linger Clid- itorj. Figure.

In the past few years it has become inac- tive. Last semester a group of upper class girls, feeling a definite need for a U. C. Club at Washburn, began its reorganization. At that time the girls formed a U. C. Committee and chose Nancy Nightingale as chairman. The committee worked with Miss Baker, the U. C. advisor, to draw up a con- stitution and plan the program for the coming semester. During an auditor- ium for all IIA, IZB, and IZA girls, the constitution was adopted. Nom- inations were made for the spring semester ofhcers. The following girls were elected to lead the club, president, Mary Alleng vice president, Rosemary DeCfondag treasurer, Eunice Omang secretary, Athena Callas. These oH'icers together with repre- sentatives from each IIA, IZB, and IZA home room meet with Miss Baker to plan worthwhile and entertaining monthly meetings. Each semester the club plans to carry out some project to benefit the school. A 'gbig sisterii plan for welcoming new girls to VVash- burn has been worked out. A U. C. style show in March pre- sented the latest in cottons, date dresses, and formals. Modeling was done by Eunice Oman, Ioann Walgreen, Ianet Franceschina, Sue Bates, Mary Lynch, Anne VVilliams, Rosemary DeGonda, Mary McKean, and Mary Peterson. STUDENT COUNCIL VVashburn's student council is made up of the twelve members elected by the different grades for their outstand- ing qualities of character and leader- ship. The seniors are represented by six members, the juniors by four, and the sophomores by two. They meet every Tuesday morning in Mr. Flee- nor's olIice to discuss various school activities. It is their duty to plan for homecoming and auditoriums. They also approve the senior awards. Plans are now underway to form a new type of council. Mr. Flecnor and homeroom oflicers are discussing the problem. They are going to try out another form of student government. That is, having more student repre- sentation even though the method em- ployed by Mr. MacQuarrie proved to be very effective and helpful. The new method is to have a repre- sentative from every homeroom. In that way the representative can report back to his homeroom. More pupils would be able to find out about the councills activities and decisions. The council would become a more active, representative and democratic group. The highest honor to be conferred upon council members comes at the time of their graduation when they may be elected to life membership by fellow council members. The best part of this award is that it carries with it the privilege of attending all future Vlfashburn social functions free of charge. U. C.

This plan had to he ahandoned. hecause ol the shortage ol' used doll houses in the XVashhurn dis- trier. The next plan was to make hospital hags out ot newspapers. This proved to he a very good idea, as the girls made many of these hags. which were sent to various hospitals throughout the city. .Xllter the hospital hags were completed. the girls had a party for unfortunate children in the Unity Set- tlement llouse. It was an enioyahle party-not only for the children. hut the girls as well. The girls showed their willingness to help with school activities luv hring- ing hatches oi' candy and fudge to sell at a school party.

Some members brought pictures from old magazines to the meetingsg others cut the pictures out and pasted them on heavy paper to finish the books. VVhen the books were completed they were sent to the men at the Veterans, Hospital. At Christmas time all available old toys were brought to Room 219 where they were washed and repaired by the girls. Finally, they were sent to children in the various hospitals. Every member helped the Red Cross in one way or another-making ban- dages and knitting useful garments such as scarfs and sweaters were the most popular ways of helping. Some of the girls ushered at school events such as the Iune and lanuary Coni- menccment exercises and class plays. These are a few of the many services willingly rendered by Stirrups to the school and the community. The following girls were spring of- 86 ficers: Nancy Dunton, president: Grace Heath, vice presidentg Barbara Drake, recretaryg Gloria Thorson, treasurer. Miss Dowling has been a grand ad- visor to the club. V.O.S. The principal interest of V.O.S. dur- ing the past year was making scrap- books. Interesting pictures and car- toons which required thought and con- sideration were cut from old newsf papers and magazines. At meetings every girl did her share of the cutting and pasting to make the cartoons and pictures into eirertaining scrapbooks. The scrapbooks were sent first to the Y.W.C.A. and from there to the men at the Veterans' Hospital. V.O.S. stands for Victory Over Self, a part of the Girl Reserve code which the girls try to uphold in every possible way. Miss Suher and Miss Perry have done a grand job of supervising and guiding the group. They also have sponsored two lovely dinners as a fare- well to the girls who graduated in Iune and lanuary. The initiation tea for new members was held at the home of Margaret and Marilyn Raymond. This tea helped the new members to become acquainted and feel that they really were welcome to the group. Meetings were held every other Wednesday from 3:30 to 5 o'clock. VVhen the weather permitted, meetings were made especially pleasant by being held in a girl's home. V.O.S. elected Eleanor Ecklund, president: Marilyn Raymond, vice pres- ident. Cinda Roberts took care of the minutes, and Helen Olson took charge of the club finances.

SIGMA PHI Sigma Phi was orl to its usual good start last fall with a tea to welcome the new members. With Mrs. Mokres from the MY as its leader, the group did many interesting things during the fall. Packing Christmas kits for the boys overseas took up quite a bit of time, as did making toothbrush holders for the wards in city hospitals. Un the intellectual side, entertainment was furnished by two university girls who spoke on music and played classical music for the club. The OHSICCFS for the fall semester were Pat Hessian. president: Nancy Nightingale, vice presidentg Ioanne Goslin, secretary: and Mary Iohanson, treasurer. Members of the group were active when it came to attending the large meetings too. Several of the girls helped make little children happy by taking them to Christmas parties given at the Y.W.C.A. The club elected Elizabeth Ott, pres- identg Ioanne Goslin, vice president: Sally Wittenberg, secretary, and Betty llelan, treasurer, to lead them through the spring. At the beginning they de- cided they would like to learn about vocations and colleges that interested them. Talks were given in the spring on these subjects. In place of one of the meetings, the members attended a tea for girls interested in going to college given by the College Womans Club. Knitting and other war work contin- ued, as did Sigma Phi's wonderful refreshmentsl FLAGS Mrs. Mulligan and the thirty-six members of Flags planned their meet- ings to introduce and establish three principal desires of every girl: service to the community and nation, more and greater friends, and good times with girls their own age. The first of these, service, has been carried out in projects of some sort. Last fall scrapbooks Filled with amus- ing. colorful pictures for children were made and sent to the Childrenis Ward in General Hospital. The covers of the books were made of cardboard dec- orated with the same type of picture pasted inside. Swan soap advertise- ments were a favorite found in every book. With the first meeting of the spring semester, the girls began to collect crossword puzzles. The puzzle itself was glued on one side of a small piece of cardboard. and the answers were pasted on the other side. Through the Y.lfV.C.A. these were distributed over- seas and to wounded service men in hospitals. Friendship among the members was strengthened through working and having fun together. A tea was planned for the first gathering of each semester. Last fall the tea was given at Ann Lanzenis home. This gave an oppor- tunity for the new members to become acquainted with the old. During the lovely spring weather the girls gathered on the banks of Minnehaha creek to play a game of baseball and talk to their heart's con- tent. 87 ORGANIZATIONS ST.

SILVER TRI CABINET Silver Tri Cabinet is made up of live officers and five committee chair- men advised by Miss Helen Minty. The committees are music, inspiration, program, publicity, and service. The Silver Tri membership party was omitted this year. ln its place, the lIJA's and llB's signed up in the group of their choice, while the l0I'l's and other new members were assigned to groups. The duty of Silver Tri Cabinet is to encourage service to others, Iellowship, good citizenship, and sympathetic understanding of all groups and races.

The first few meetings were spent electing officers and planning the pro- gram for the coming term. During the semester the club made pictures to be hung at the foot of hospital beds, and menus for hospital trays. Guest speakers entertained at two of the club meetings. The First guest was Ruth liystrom, a former Washburn student, now connected with f'Romance, lncf' at the University. She talked to the girls about going steady. dates, etc. The second speakers were two boys from South High, who gave their view- points on steadies,'l dates, etc. The last meeting was a visit to CofT- man Memorial Union Where the girls attended one of the 5 o'clock dances often given in the main ballroom. Through the well-rounded schedule of service and entertainment, this season proved to be both interesting and fun for all the Rascals. TORCHERETTES The Torcherettes, under the guid- ance of Mrs. Keyes, made nutcups and favors for hospital trays, also newspaper bedside sacks for the city hospitals. During the Christmas season several members participated in, and served on committees for the Christmas party given at the Y.W.C.A. for Girl Re- serves of the city. The Torcherettes themselves had a Christmas party and meeting combined. They exchanged gifts, played games, and had fancy Christmas cookies for refreshments. ln the spring. with Lael McCubrey as president. the Torcherettes con- tinued their work for city hospitals. At one of their spring meetings they heard Mrs. Kitagawa, a Iapanese- American, speak. Various girls are serving on committees for the coming spring social events, and all are very active in Girl Reserves. BUY WAR BONDS DOES Under the able direction of Miss Lucas and the leadership of Nancy Berg and Pat Oster, Does has under- taken several very worth-while service projects. During the year the club dec- orated Hower pots and took them to the Old Ladies' Home. At Christmas time toys were sent to underprivileged children. Several meetings were devoted to folding hospital Hdisposalw bags. After the girls finished their Work, re- freshments were served. They often stayed to dance or gather around the piano and sing. At the P.T.A. Carnival the Does won the blue ribbon for the most at- tractive and successful booth. The club members voted to donate five dollars of the money earned at the Carnival to the Toy-lending Library Association. The final activity the club was making arrangements for was the style show featured at the combination Mothers, and Daughters, Tea and Installation ceremony, held in the Solarium at the Y.VV.C.A. building on May 23rd. 89 Doris---Rtvvv One: Miss Lucas.

Two of the residue,,' Dick Simonsen and Hob Paulson, held the offices of president and vice president, respectively, before they left for the service. After Dick and Bob had gone into the service, the club elected Leonard Lindborg, pres- ident, and Ken Witsell, scribe. Iohn Siefl' had the only paying job, treas- urer. For its service project Triangles had the job of putting up the canvas around the football field in the fall. The club gave many parties during the semester. VVho could forget those sleigh rides which usually ended by dancing at Iohn SielT's house? Besides sleigh rides, the club swam at the Y.M.C.A., played basketball occasion- ally and when the Weatherman finally had to break down and admit that spring really was here, the fellows even played a little baseball. Meetings were held on Tuesday eve- nings at each member's house in alpha- betical order. After the business meet- ing, the club usually had a program- often a speaker. Included in this year's speakers were two servicemen who had just returned from active combat. Une was an Army Air Force pilot who had completed thirty-five missions. The other was a Marine gunner just home from the South Pacific. I-9 Une of the purposes of the Hi-Y clubs all over the city, is to assist the school in any way possible. liach club is given a project for one semester and then takes on another project for the second semester. Clubs may help with War Bond and Stamp drives, book selling and stampingg they co-operate with the Girl Reserves in giving the Lenten Services. There are many activ- ities of the school that we would not have without the invaluable services of the Hi-Y groups. One-Nine Hi-Y has been very active this year. Under the capable direction of President Bill Kidd, the club had charge of checking lockers for stolen books. This was done during the fall semester under the supervision of Mr. lack W'ells. The second semester the club had charge of the second-hand book store. Their job was to buy books from the students and sell them to new owners. 92 Under the direction of Mr. Fleenor the boys had a very great responsibil- ity for they were entrusted with the money to buy the books: also the money collected when the books were again sold. H-Y CABINET Hi-Y, organized under the direction of the Y.lvI.C.A., is the largest all-boy organization in Washburn. The pur- pose of this group is Mto create, main- tain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school and communityf' The Hi-Y is organized into small groups of about twenty members called chapters. Each chapter elects four of- Hi-Y QZABIYI-fl'-Iitill Mcliinley, Presidentg lack ,-Xlwin. Vice-Pres.: Dick Iohnson. Treas- urer: VVbitncy Ives. Secretary. ficers. These otiicers plus two repre- sentatives from each club make up the Hi-Y Cabinet, This group elects four ofiicers who meet the first Monday in each month to discuss many important activities. The duties of the Cabinet include such things as arranging joint meetings, planning parties, and spon- soring membership drives. One of the problems confronting the cabinet is the opposition to the chapter plan. A few schools in the city have abandoned this plan in favor of one large group. A large group has advantages, however, one of the purposes of the Hi-Y is to bring out the initiative. 'I'1t1.xNca1.i.sfRow One: Cold Il'rcs.I. Swanson QYice l'res.Q.

The club was very well led last semester by Harry Anderson, president, Dick Hansen, vice president, Roger Starn, secretary: and Abbie Larson, custodian of the Morganthau cabbage. These four fellows led the club with the idea of helping the boys in the club and boys who have less than they. Projects such as making up Christmas boxes for overseas service men, and sending some less fortunate boy to camp were successfully carried out. At one of the meetings, Fred Rose's uncle spoke to the seventeen members about hunting. He showed many inter- esting pictures taken while hunting in Canada and Alaska. He also showed a few animal heads and trophies from his collection. After a meeting at Abbie Larson's house Cpoor Mrs. Larson is still glueing the furniture together that Vanderhoof demolished, e v e r y on e played basketball over at Ramsey. A.P.O. party fone in a thousandj was a moonlite picnic on Prospect Hill. At the last meeting of the semester the ofiicers for this term were chosen. They elected the following boys: Dick Iohn- son, president: Fred Rose, vice pres- ident: Abbie Larson, treasurer, Ken Hill, secretary. Ray Smith, their new leader, has greatly helped the club in furthering its activities. l r l l 1 SPARKS Sparks Hi-Y-Who are they?

Also this spring the club has planned for swimming parties. father and son meetings, speakers, and other interest- ing sessions. On April 5, Spurs had their hrst father and son meeting held at Iohn licndalls home. Major Hurd, the speaker at this meeting, gave very in- teresting views of the war today.

This Stage and Sound Crew is constantly on the go, for it prepares the stage, micro- phone, light, and what takes place in the auditorium. This work doesn't end on the stage, however. Capable persons must be present at mixers to handle the loudspeaker, and experienced hands must run the class roof films. Before the outdoor auditorium and football games the familiar Htesting, one-two-threeu can be heard throughout the school. All this work is done so that we may better enjoy the sports events and announcements. The beautiful coloring achieved by the various colored Uspotsu is another ex- ample of the work done by the boys. This hard-working crew directed by Mr. Parsons doesnat receive a great deal of praise for their long hours of work, but they have the satisfaction of know- ing that they are a vital part in every program which is presented.
