MISCELLANY SYLVIA FORMANEK A-000-000-zu! . . . Sylvia, who graduated Iune T44, is now one of the glamour gals with Iohn Poweris Model Agency. 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. LW

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.

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. Sincerely yours, .bon .gerris it fir it it it it wir
