His office door is always open to those who have personal problems, and a great deal of his Working day is taken up in helping students. Our principal got his educational background in the state of Indiana, and his close school friends still call him the Hoosier Schoolmasterf' His favorite poet is another Hoosier man, James W'hitcomb Riley. Mr. Fleenor is very apt to quote the poet,s ideas about life because that is his philosophy also. After completing his schooling, Mr. Fleenor took a spring teaching course at an Indiana normal school. From there he went on teaching winters and going to school summers until he attained his Bachelor of Arts and his Master's degrees. The West aroused his curiosity, he came to Minne- apolis Where he is still continuing to rise in his profession. With all other duties which fall on the shoulders of a busy school administrator, Mr. Fleenor says that the ma- jority of his time is spent in public relations. By public relations he refers to all his connections in and out of school such as his dealings with the faculty, the students, thc P.T.A., the police, Mr. Goslin, the Wfashburn Com- munity Council, and the Y.M.C.A. One of Mr. Fleenoris chief ambitions and concerns is that of improving the high school curriculum. He feels that the school subjects should be made more practical and less purely academic or college preparatory. He be- lieves in training young people for living broader and fuller lives in addition to learning to make a living. After being in the service for five years, Mr. Janes has returned to his duty as assistant principal at Washburn. Mr. Janes lays out each teacher's program and adjusts the Whole program to the school enrollment. ln a general way, the halls, auditorium, meetings, and grounds are constantly under his supervision. In the school office he checks the personnel and records. He Works with the counsellors and the visiting teacher on difficulties of scholarship, as much of it is closely re- lated to discipline and home conditions. He makes an occasional study of failure and promotion. As far as discipline is concerned, Mr. Janes Works with the attendance clerk on problems such as tardiness and excessive absence. When a pupil and teacher have trouble, adjustment and general discipline are given. These are everyday problems. 0 Some of his extra curricular work includes: deciding upon all candidates for National Honor Society, super- vising the expenditures for the school organizations, be- ing business manager of the school annual, supervising finances of the paper, and arranging the stamping of new and old books. Mr. Fleenor and Mr. ,lanes represent the school to any outsider. Both of them are in favor of student govern- ment, and it is to their credit that Washburn is an out- standing school. 6 Mli. LEONARD FLEENOR, Principal, pictured top above, and MR. FRANK AIANES, Assistant Principal, pictured directly above, have worked to make Washburn one of ihe best and most progressive schools in Minneapolis. We think it is. Miss Mabel Christianson, Girls' Counsellor, and Mr. Mervin Dillner, Boys' Counsellor, Help Solve Students' Problems. COUNSELLORS AND OFFICE STAFF During the past twenty-one years W'ashburn has undergone many changes. XVith nearly every change, great or small, the office has been affected, and under the management of capable clerks and staff members, each new adjustment has been successfully handled. Many years ago, before Ramsey was constructed, Waslmburn contained both senior high and junior high grades. Consequently members of the office staff were kept on their toes arranging and adjusting programs As the years went on the school board developed a new system in whch a cumulative record is kept for each student from the time he enrolls in kinder- garten until he is graduated from high school. Another function of the office is to furnish tran- scripts of grades and character references of present and former students to outside organizations such as colleges and business concerns. ln the last few years the number of transcripts has greatly increased, even for some students who have been graduated up to ten years previously. The most recent change has been the issuing of free textbooks. Formerly, high school students bought their own textbooks, and the olhce clerks had the responsibility of managing the book- store. Now, however, free textbooks are issued through the classroom teachers thus saving a great deal of work and valuable time for everyone. Miss Helen L11m1', chief clerk of the office staff, is assisted by Miss Lfuor Grecfu, Miss Leona Evkvrrnzzn, and Miss Hazel HC'lItfl'jL'lQ,5!ll1 in keeping records and handling clerical work. Mr. Mervin Dillier, boys, counsellor, and Miss Mabel Cl11'isfc11.w11, girls' counsellor, aid students a great deal in all matters of educational or vocational nature, while Miss Miilirwzf Roxkilly, W2lSllbUfH,S visiting teacher, visits with parents and assists stu- dents in making adjustments to school activities. Capable Ofiice Girls Regulate School Functions and .'Xeiivities .. . . FACULTY PLAYS IMPORTANT ROLE IN SCHOOL'S PROGRESS ENGLISH Every student at Washburn will be thankful many times for his English essentials and composition training. Any student passing the tests can be reasonably assured of a C grade in university freshman English The English department has set up a remedial English class where failures can catch up instead of having to re peat the work. Classes of Creative Writing, Modern Drama, and Speech have been successful. SOCIAL SCIENCES During the past twenty-one years history has enlarged its horizons and pushed away the barriers. Today less emphasis is put on each detail of history and a broader sweep of information is studied. Twenty-one years ago the students of Washburn concentrated on past history. To- day time is spent on the present as well as the past. The textbooks have been modern- ized. This makes the work far more interest- ing. Films and phonograph records are used in the classrooms as Well as magazine articles and radio broadcasts. MATHEMATICS Mathematics at Washburn ain't what they used to be, twenty-one years agofl Much formality and useless memorization has been replaced by up-to-date practical prob- lems and solutions taught in a more natural manner. In geometry classes pupils no longer have to memorize formal proofs for all the prob- lems. Instead. originality in reasoning and skill in making geometric figures are stressed. Algebra and trigonometry have changed mainly in the type of problems worked. Iloxv Green Wlls My Sulfate SIMPLIFIED INSTRUCTIONS sex lckson, Mr. Ray Smith, Miss Ethel Montgomery.

Because of great interest in Spanish, however, there is but one teacher of French now. The teaching of German at Whishburn has fluctuated with the fortunes of Germany. Requirements of Eastern colleges make necessary the teaching of four years of Latin. Spanish began with Eve classes, but the number has doubled since the initiation of the Good Neighbor Policy. NATURAL SCIENCES ln recent years W'ashburn's science depart- ment has broadened teaching and extra cur- ricular activities. The biology department's capacity for displaying live material has been enlarged with the addition of several aquar- iums. Greenhouse conditions have brought considerable success to the schoolls botanists, who hold an annual plant sale. The physics and audio-visual branches have brought Wasliburn a more complete service in these lines. New projectors have been installed. Gas hoods are now under con- sideration for the chemistry rooms. COMMERCIAL Looking back twenty-one years to Wash- burn's infant Commercial department, we find it very different from the one we now have. Only bookkeeping, typing, shorthand, and a one semester course of office training were offered, as compared with our book- keeping, shorthand, typing, secretarial prac- tice, office training, senior type, and the work program, which was added only two years ago. 5 , r.

This department now in- structs over two hundred students in beginning sketch, design, fashion, advanced sketch, and painting. Every semester this department gives a scholarship to a student who in the eyes of the instructors is de- serving. This scholarship entitles the student to attend the Minneapolis School of Art on Saturdays. HOME ECONOMICS 'While Wfashburn has always offered its girls courses in home economics, these studies have been much improved in the past twenty-one years. The foods classes are now learning to prepare a full meal instead of individual dishes. Up-to-date gas ranges are in- stalled new every ten years. ln the clothing classes less emphasis is placed on the actual sewing, while design, style, grooming, and budgeting are taken up. M USIC Twenty-one years ago 'XVashburn's music depart- ment was divided into two large sections, that of instrumental music and that of vocal music. Two years later the band and orchestra were organized. The orchestra has dwindled from eighty members twenty-one years ago, to fourteen today. The band has grown larger and now meets in a regular class period instead of three times a week before school, as was the case earlier.

Streamlined Education SHOPS Greatest addition to the shop this year was the purchase of individual drawing sets for each student. In previous years, the students were forced to furnish their own sets or use out dated equipment in the room. It took several years for me to save up the three hundred dollars needed out of our annual budget, said Mr. Lee. This year for the first time girls, too, are taking courses in mechanical drawing. PHYSICAL EDUCATION When Washbui'n first opened sports were directed towards intramural activities and competition between home rooms. Wfinter sports were an important high- light, because W ashburn had its own skating rink east of the school. The Washburn Hilli' provided ex- cellent skiing for those interested until it was re- moved to make way for Ramsey Junior High and the MacQuarrie Field. In looking back over the years of the girls' athletic system, the instructors recall that the gym curriculum has remained basically the same, although at one time tap and interpretive dancing were offered. Dur- ing the war efhciency tests were emphasized. ,f'll1o1z': Art Class Designs Gift W'rappings. CfIV'lIl'V'I Mr. George Hoard, Mr. Louis Clneson, Miss Dorothy Peterson, Mr. ml. Vincent Porter.

Previously the class play was presented on Thursday with a repeat performance given on Friday. This year, however, Mr. Krause found it advisable to stage the production on Friday night only. The first thing most of us noticed was the remodeled scenery. It was decided not to buy new scenery because too many changes would have to have been made to get the required effect, so the old scenery was cut up and freshly painted. The play itself had a mystery atmosphere to it from the opening cur- tain to the final surprise ending. The entire cast did a superb job.

Blair Testin and Bobby Swanson created a sensation and won Hrst prize with their interpretation of Is You ls or ls You Ain't My Baby. The over-size baby buggy and nipple beer bottle added a new variation. Slim Northfelt got many a wolf howl in his costume as Temptation Burying her ivories behind large buck teeth, and with a mop for hair, Joyce Wold became Ugly Chile. Some highlights of the program included an all- boy chorus line led by Slim Northfelt, Maryan Strathy, and Ted Carlson singing the Lollipop Songf, and the trio, Joan Kurtzman, Liz Norris, and Margie Pelton, singing Feudin', Fussin', and Fightinifi The party after school included a pancake-eating race, won by Tom Vind, and a Virginia Reel high- lighted by Jack Coan with Miss Stevenson. 14 COMMENCEMENT 81 DANCE January twenty-second, nineteen hundred and forty-eight marked the end of three of the most productive years in the lives of one hundred thirty- three An Seniors. Red carnations accented the black dignity of the girls' formal attire. White carnations also punctuated the lapels of the boys, contrasting suits. The Reverend John W. Rilling presented the invo- cation address based on the senior theme Understand- ing, Following the invocation Virginia Ann Neal presented Chopin's Waltz in A Flat Major. Eliza- beth Norris climaxed her vocal career at Washburn with a rendition of This Day Is Mine, by Ware. The silver voiced clarinet of Stacy Angle did justice to Handel's Sonata in F. Stacy was acclaimed by many as one of the outstanding features of the eve- ning. Program activities reached their high point as the class intelligencia began their orations. The talks, by salutatorian Janet M. Biesterfeldt, and valedictorians Helen B. Lifson, Marjorie J. Pelton, Marie A. Sawyer, Maryan Strathy, and Douglas G. Dahlin, versed their varied reactions at leaving high school. The remainder of the program was as follows: A reading by Joan Mattson, piano solo, Warsaw COHCC1'fO,,, by Gayle B. Martin, and a vocal solo by dramatic baritone David Ernsberger. Following the commencement exercises, the sixth annual dance was held in the main ball room of the Radisson Hotel. Jerry Dibble and his orchestra fur- nished the music, and the P. T. A. contributed re- freshments at the coke bar. Senior Banquet Hey, who pinched my straw? Where'd Weber get all the milk? Words like these opened the last meal together for the January Seniors. Creamed chicken and ice cream puffs highlighted the menu while home talent brightened the program. President Prottengier opened the after dinner speaking with a few farewell remarksg then intro- duced his fellow officers. Their speeches carried out the theme, which was The Seven Ages of Man. Joyce Wold had her audience thoughtful as she recalled their grade school experiences. She carried the discussion through junior high, then turned the crowd over to Ted Carlson. He enumerated the lighter sides of Washburn life and touched slightly on the more serious ones. Janet Alstrup gave the class prophecy before turning the program back to Master-of-Ceremonies, Punk. For some lighter entertainment, Blair Testin and Dave Ernsberger sang Blue Moon and a novelty arrangement of the Whiffenpoof Song with the help f?J of Helen Lifson. Eugene Martin played some boogie and the trio, Liz Norris, Joan Kurtz- man, and Margie Pelton, sang Winter Wfonder- land. Lois Bix gave a comic reading and the long- awaited class movies were shown. The students saw some football pictures and informal shots be- fore reluctantly bidding the school farewell. lanet Biesterfeldt Doug llahlin Mariorie Pelton Marie Sawyer Maryam Slrathy llelcn Lifson STARS AND STEERERS 0F CUR CLASS Paulus Prottingeier, better known as Punky, held the office of president.

This class had so many smart students that the faculty selected five valedictorians and one salutatorian. Janet Biesfer- feldt headed her class with a straight A average through her three years at Wfashburn. The five vale- dicrorians were Helen Lifson, Marjorie Pelton, Marie Sawyer, Maryan Strathy, and last but not least Doug Dahlin. All of these students were members of the National Honor Society. All of these people were very active in the various clubs in school. Helen, Marie, Maryan, and DOl.Ig racked their brains not only for their marks, but wrote stories for the Grixf. 15 janet Alstrup, 1'ir'r'-primirlwrzf Joyce W'old, Sr'f'rr'lnry Ted Carlson, fVl't1XIH'l'7' Paulus Prottengeier, pnfxirlwlf JANUARY Ann Louise Aamodt served on the Memorial Committee and belonged to Girls' and Mixed Glee Clubs.

This class also broke a record with their five valedictorians and four salutatorians. The previous high was a total of seven. The valedictorians in- cluded Lorelei Bancroft, Clyde Crooks, Rosalie Curtis, Bud Foulke, and Gretchen Kriechbaum. They all maintained a straight A average in spite of many outside activities. The salutatorians were Betsy Ann Boettcher, Dick Cwrantges, Warren Wade, and Artis Wright, each with one B average. These students not only seem to have a corner on brains, but get in on most things going on in school. Betsy Ann and Bud were elected most likely to succeedug Lorelei, most dependable, as her position as chairman of the records committee shows, Rosey, besides being Associate Editor of the Wfaliiau, was elected umost studious with War- ren.

Probably be- fore Jean Raihle, president, is through, she will have them all idolizing modern, abstract art. Most of these artists spend much of their own time developing their talent. Chroma Club offers a good chance for them to get together and com- pare notesf' Such notables as jim Deneen, winner of the Minneapolis School of Art award for this semesterg Dave Anthony and Joan Merkert, pre- viously awarded the same recognition: and Etta Wolpert, an entree in the Twin Cities Artists' Ex- hibitions, are among Chroma Club's more serious members. QUILL CLUB Quill Club climaxed the iarst semester's activi- ties by the publication of the Poplars, first edition of Quill's bi-annual magazine. An auditorium pro- gram, involving certain members of the faculty as entertainers, highlighted the Poplurs, advertise- ments. In view of the consensus of student opinion, future issues will be edited with greater emphasis on student life. The staff conveys their gratitude to all. CHESS CLUB After a period of inactivity, Chess Club was re- organized last year. Each Monday afternoon the ten members meet to ponder over new problems. Five members are picked through playoff matches to represent Washburn in regular tournaments. As in other sports, the members are awarded letters. COMMERCIAL CLUB Commercial Club was reassembled at gi Christ- mas party to which each member brought two candy bars and made Christmas favors for children in the Kenny Institute. At the Senior Farewell Tea each semester, the Commercial award, a plaque purchased by the Commercial Club six years ago, is presented to a graduating senior who is judged on scholarship, character, and service. 45 Quill Quivers for Camera, Awe for the Artist, Science Marches On Modern Drama Technique? STUDENTS MEET FOR WORK AND FUN C.A.R.E. Last fall the clubs of Washburn decided to help the needy in Europe by raising money for C. A. R. E. Each club sent a representative to the C. A. R. E. Committee under the direction of Miss Minty and Miss Gear to decide on a money raising project for the whole school. The Committee decided to show a movie after school, the proceeds of which would go to the C. A. R. E. fund. Each individual club contributed to the fund also. They either took money out of their treasuries or sold candy, carameled apples, Christmas cards or other things to raise money. All together the school raised over 35600 that was used to buy sixty C. A. R. E. packages at S10 apiece. These packages were sent to needy people in Germany, France, England, Poland, Greece, Ireland, and Scot- land. The clubs that participated were German Club, Latin Club, French Club, U. C., Chroma Club, G. A. A., Student Council, Silver Tri, Chess, and Quill Club. ' POLITIX CLUB The Polifix Club, one of Washburn's most active organizations, meets every Tuesday during second lunch to ponder the fate of the Union, the lot of the world, and the destiny of the universe. Last fall, at the initial meeting of the year, Mr. Halvorson, the club's faculty adviser, presented Presi- dent David Ernsberger with a new gavel. Dave put this symbol of the power of his office to good use in calling to order many intensely interesting discussions concerning the U. N. and threats to world peace. The Senior Farewell was held in Room 105 early in january. After the banquet, Mr. Mervin Dillner gave a short talk and Dorothy I-Iauptman played a piano solo. Elections for oflicers for the next semester were then held, and it was at that historic moment that John Monroe became the new president. Under the Monroe regime the Politix Club has flourished. Interesting inquiries into many timely subjects have been conducted by the club,s members. It is in this organization that the Senators and Repre- sentatives of tomorrow get their great and glorious starts in political life. 46 SCIENCE CLUB Is it Einstein? A new atomic weapon? No, it's Dick Grantges explaining one of his complicated machines to his fellow science enthusiasts. This is but one of the interesting weekly meetings of the Science Club. With its metabolism unit, donated by Dr. O. Lenz, and with Mr. Roder as its adviser, the Science Club feels it is all ready to go places. Washburn is proud of Warren Wade, a Science Club member, who received honorable mention in the Westinghouse search for talent. SOUND CREW We will probably all remember movies in the audi- torium and the shriek of feedback from the micro- phones, but some of us may not know of many of the other activities of the Sound Crew. This group of boys also hauls projectors and amplifiers, builds scenery for the class play, builds and repairs equip- ment, and provides P.A. for football games. The crew meets in the morning as a regular home room, but each member devotes his study period to sound work. This is the second year that the crew has had two advisers, Mr. Bolewine for stage work, and Mr. Pulver for Audio-Visual Education. The crew is divided into three closely knit groups, each with a student manager. Tom Nelson is Supervisor of Stage, Dick Grantges heads the sound group, and Jerry Park is in charge of movie projections. These three groups are coordinated by Evan Day, who is Program Master, and the home room officers: Wfarren Wade, president, John Petroff, secretary, and Charlie Lund- quist, treasurer. Under each of these groups there are many smaller' jobs. The main achievement of the Sound Crew this year was the building of a new amplifier system for the auditorium.

The convention consisted of forums and discussions concerning the future Red Cross activities and the highlight was a formal banquet. CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP Christian Fellowship will meet Tuesday after, noon. There will be an outstanding speaker and spe- cial music. This notice, found in the bulletin each week, best describes what happens at a meeting of this religious group.

They are selected for their commercial ability, and to them fall numerous odd tasks. In such a large and intricate machine as an oflice such as ours, these girls' efforts are indispensable to smooth operation. Besides gaining valuable experience, they are contributing loyal service to their school. XVe wish to thank Ann Aamodt, Avis johnson, I.u glean J J Johnson, Joyce Nielson, Marcia Ranurn, Beverly Stege, and Nancy Van Tassel. The library board consists of a group of girls and boys who have gladly given up their study periods to be Miss Brown's little helpers. Some of the kids like to be with books so much that they work before school starts in the morning, and a few stay after classes end Quntil 3:15j. Included with the fun of trying to be a librarian is a little hard work, collecting fines on overdue books, and dusting off the many book shelves. Three senior girls, Rosalie Curtis, Audrey Larson, and Joan Gordon have been working in the library since they were 10-B'sg they have done excellent Work. Perhaps you haven't noticed, but we have the new Iooky' in our library. It was brought about by the recent addition of many new books. Among them are, The Bluvk Row, Wfiuler Wheat, Earffa and High H1111 en, and The fgfftlf Son. Office Ieneil-I ushers and Browns Bookwnrms National Honor Society Meets Monthly Members Prove Selves Human by Eating Anxious Candidates Eagerly Await Induction APPLE-POLISHERS BURN MIDNIGHT OIL The National Honor Society, under the faculty leadership of Mr. Dillner and Miss Montgomery, has al- ways been thought of as a group of intellectuals. However, being in the upper quarter is only one of the require- ments for National Honor. The students are also judged by the teachers on their service to the school, leader- ship, ability, and personality. The very human side of the student is brought out at the monthly meetings, the winter banquet, and the spring picnic. The banquet this winter, with its wonderful dinner and program, was a huge success. At this ban- quet Stacy Angle, Dave Ernsberger, Liz Norris, and Blair Testin, turned over their offices to Norm Lunderberg, Lorelei Bancroft, Peter Randall, and Shirley Lillehnugen. 49 ST w ll fl ? if if 2 Ei Latin Goes Ancient: Spanish Scnores and Scnurimsg Vivo La Francslg Dcnisonls Dnrlings Das Deutsche Verein: Alianza Espanola: Le Cercle Francaisl Translation: German Club: Spanish Club: French Club 4 w 1 50 XWashburn,s Four Language Clubs Swing Into High Gear Sociefas Latina Latin Club The wearers of togas climaxed a busy season by actually wearing their newly-Duzed sheets to the Roman banquet senior farewell.

Who could forget the singing in the halls before Christmas under the valiant leadership of David Ernsberger, and then the actual recording of their theme song Panis Angelicusf' The initiation of new members with skits portraying famous myths was a big hit. What are those odd sounds emerging from room 212 on every other Tuesday at 3 o,clock? I might foster a guess and say that the German Club is having another meeting with the con- stant help and advice of Miss Evelyn Denison. The year's activities were many and varied. There were speakers on German people and their customs, the joint Christmas program, this year for the benefit of C.A.R.E.g the annual German Easter Service, the Senior Farewell for the June graduates. The fall officers were Ralph Broten, President, Marilyn Elvin, Vice President, Patty Tender, Secretary, Roy Zorn, Treasurer. Elections for the spring term found Patty Tender, President, Carol Cooperman, Secretary, Margaret Spencer, Vice President, Bruce Johnston, Treasurer. As the gavel bangs, Mademoiselle Gear sighs with l'Eh bien, nous commenconsf' and everyone in French Club gets ready for an enjoyable hour. Le Cercle Francais was able to help many French people through its donation to C.A.R.E. The money was raised by many ingenious projects, of which, one was selling candy. Fairy Tales were all the vogue at initiation. Each prospective member dramatized one in the presence of the members. Among the outstanding attractions were the talks on France by Mary Ellen Alexander and Martha Mills, the vocalizing with German Club at a music festival, and the gay time at the Senior Farewell Breakfast. The Spanish Club meeting was called to order, the Mexican National anthem was sung, and an- other Spanish session was in progress. Some of the students looked a little puzzled, but after all, when all this is done in Spanish, sometimes it is a little confusing. Oh, who is that distinguished looking man? Mr. Montez from Spain? How exciting, a real Spaniard here at Wfashburnli' This was only one of the many programs spon- sored by the Spanish Club. Others included a Spanish Dance by Dianalee Kennellyg movie slides and a talk on Mexico by a former Washburn graduate, and a talk by Mr. Tallo from Panama. S1 The Mixed Glee Club is the most out- standing musical organization at Wash- burn. Sounds such as Cric - - - eric - - - eric - eric - crie - eric - - - b-r--r-r-r uppppli' would sound strange to anyone but a member of the Glee Club. The Glee Club participates in two main programs each year. The Christmas concert is given in December. The Spring Sing is given during the spring semester. The three glee clubs work to- gether to give these programs. Before Christmas, Southwest's Choir presented a program for the Washburn student body. In return, the Washburn glee clubs gave a Christmas program for the Southwest student body. This is the secondyear Washburn and Southwest have exchanged glee clubs. Last fall the glee clubs of all Minne- apolis schools united to sing Faust in the Municipal Auditorium for the teach- ers' convention. Washburn is proud of its singers. XVhat a beautiful arrangement of that song! It really is a pleasure to hear the Washburn Girls' Chorus sing our old favorites for they do such a good job of it. Yes, that's the way hun- dreds of people feel after the Spring Sing, when the Girls, Glee Club works with the Mixed Glee Club, the Male Chorus, and the orchestra to present a program of music for parents and teachers. Severson Solos XVashburn's Renowned Christmas Chorus Rehearsals for the Spring Sing and for the Christmas Concert take up most of the girls' time during sixth period on Tuesdays and Thursdays, though they also give various other programs. It is really an honor to belong to the Girls' Chorus, for each member enjoys singing enough to cooperate with the entire chorus and present performances of which they can rightfully be proud.

Dave was the only male winner in the Apollo Club's contest at Washburiu last year. This year he took repeated honors by being the baritone winner While Bruce Rosengren received the tenors' winning vote. SUPER SWINGS IT SOLID Super! Music Maestros Echoing in the halls before each morning from the rehearsals in the auditorium, and from 325 each period of every day, the familiar strains of the Christmas Chorus songs helped to spread the Christmas spirit throughout XVashburn. Xvhether conscious of the fact or not, almost every person in Wfashburn practically knew all the Words by heart by the time the program was given. As usual, the program was presented to the student body Vfednesday, De- cember I7, and to the parents Thursday evening, December 18. This year the entire school united to sing the Halle- lujah Chorusf, The chorus consists mainly of the Mixed Clee Club, the Girls, Chorus, and the Boys' Chorus. Other participants are chosen from the chorus classes where the students compete eagerly for a chance to take part. XVQ believe the students, faculty, and parents sincerely appreciate this musical performance which is truly a part of W'ashburn. XY'here's my mouthpiece?', No, it isn,t a gangster asking for his lawyerg itls just a member of WGShburn'S Band. Prominent at auditoriums, football games, Commencement, and most other school activities, this organization is an important part of Wfashburn school life. Another group of musicians make up the Orchestra, which may be heard at class plays and glee club programs. Both organizations are under the direction of George N. Super. The Big Brass Hand HI-Y's PROGRESS TOWARDS HIGH STANDARDS Although C. H. I. is one of the newer Hi-Y clubs at Washburn, it has made a name for itself as a leader. Its programs have featured speakers on current events and topics of interest to the members. Social events and par- ties have also punctuated the lives of the boys of C. H. I. Did you know that S. T. O. is the oldest Hi-Y in Washburn? It was the first organized in 1926, shortly after Washburn opened. This year numerous parties highlighted the season of this club. The club also enjoyed the many different persons who spoke for them. Triangles Try Angles Delta Peeping Toms A.P.0. Devotions A.P.O. and Mas-cat 1-9 Athletes S.T.O.

A brilliant social season consisted of wiener roasts, toboggan parties, and dances. These socialites also found time for several serv- ice projects, taking an active part in the clothing drive and winning first place in the Hi-Y paper sale. Cogs' social calendar centered around their party at the Prom at which they spent their treasury's bottom dollar. In order to improve their financial condition, Cogs worked like beavers at the Christmas tree lot. Through participation in a lot of activities they not only aided foreign relief measures but relined their club pocketbook. The A. C. E. Club, consisting mainly of gradu- ating seniors, will close the books this year with a fine record of service projects. A. C. E. is given credit for the all Hi-Y bulletin board, and also for a successful semester of hall duty during the lunch hour. The club's social calendar consisted of parties and dances. l-9 is made up chiefly of Washburn's athletes, In this club are found participants in every sport. Parties are not very frequent in this club as the boys must stay in training. It is our belief that there is much to be heard from this club yet. K. O. D. began its fall semester with two members. The ofhcers were decided by the flip of a coin. Roger Gurley became president thus leaving Dick Hartmann with his choice of three offices. The induction rounded out the club, and K. O. D. concluded their year with a calendar of helpful service projects and good entertainment. Triangles is the only Hi-Y at Washburn with an organized alumni association. Last fall a steak fry was given for all the alumni at which many old acquaintances were renewed. Triangles' service project consisted of collect- ing paper for the paper sale, selling Christmas tree tickets and helping at the Yis men's lot. Delta club was organized as a torch club way back in Ramsey, and the five original members are now wheels.', Sports seem to fill the bill in this club. The members are very active in foot- ball, hockey, and baseball. Last spring their club won the Hi-Y softball championship at Wash- burn. 55 K.O.D.

Chief interest at the Tuesday night meetings are home movies and varied speakers. Spurs has had its share of parties also, such as wiener roasts and hayrides. BANQUET, DANCE HIGHLIGHT SILVER TRI Come and get it! was the cry for refreshments heard at the Silver Tri bang-up membership party for l0B's. The party was the beginning of the year's activity for the younger branch of Y-Teens. The highlight of the event was a style show presented by the three IIB groups, Katz, Tabs, and Ducerettes. Those that were there will never forget how cute Margie Murdock looked in a pair of fuchsia Chinese pajamas and carrying a white fur kitten. The main project for the year was selling Christ- mas cards. A profit of fifty cents was made on each box which sold for one dollar. Each group participated in this sale. The 10B,s came out victorious having sold the largest number of boxes. W'hat should we do with the money we received from the Christmas cards was the question asked at one of the cabinet meetings. It was decided unani- mously to send the money to CARE, the non-profit organization for distributing food packages in Europe. It was then announced that a CARE Committee had been formed by a representative from each club in the school. Silver Tri triumphantly led the sale of tickets for the movie sponsored by this committee. When the drive came to an end Silver Tri had contributed the most which was over 8160. The year ended successfully with a Dads 'n Daughters' banquet at the Y.W'.C.A. Swiss steak and apple pie was the method the girls used in tempting their Dads into coming to the banquet on January 15, The theme of the banquet was Winter Wfonclerland. The toast to the Dads was given by Suzanne Kennon and the response That's My Daughterf' was given by Mr. Stevens. Entertainment was provided by Marilyn Abbot who played a piano solo, and Laurel Ballard who gave a vocal solo. A ski movie also was shown. The climax of the banquet was the installation of ofhcers which was presented in an entirely new and entertaining way. Amy Seevers, who was in charge, wrote a clever verse about each of the past officers. The girls gave this in the form of a choral reading. The banquet concluded with a style show featuring a typical day with Winnie Wfashburn modeling all her new winter clothes. More typical though than XVinnie was her father, with his one and only suit and not a cent left to his name, was portrayed by Mr. Janes. The banquet was the end of a successful and enjoyable semester for all the girls in Silver Tri. Silver Tri Tabs Christmas Party and Yuletide Cheer IOB Silver Tri Girls and Dates Duetrtttts 'it if H , is 10B Silver Tri Group Pye on the Ball Chic Fashions Cabinet Members More l0B's MORE ACTIVITIES The tenth grade group of Silver Tri, composed of nearly two hundred members, had a very successful year. The meetings covered a variety of events. Square dancing, Mr. Alwin leading a community sing, a speaker from Hungary were only a few of the activities that took place in the fall term. The biggest success, however, was the dance which was held at the Minneapolis Youth Center. About two-thirds of the group with their dates attended. In the spring a talent show was given where many of the girls showed originality and ability. A Mothers and Daughters' party was another of the activities, along with a week-end at Lyman Lodge, Aside from these social events, the girls found time to con- tribute donations to CARE and to the World Fellowship Organization. The spring cabinet was headed by Betsy Balch, president, Suzanne Kennon, vice president, Judy King, secretaryg Joanne Meagher, treasurer, Rae Lynne Moore, l,C.C., and Nancy Hahn, publicity. Other cabinet members were Beverly Lysen, Amy Seevers, Marlene Rhone, and Connie Wliitcsell. 58 .A KJ' Silver Tri Combines Service Projects with Fun .ind Recreation MORE MEMBERS IN SILVER TRI Don't be too anxious to make a hit on that first date with your dream boy-just act natural. This was the advice given to the girls in Ducerettes by two university students at a boy and girl relations program. The speaker also answered any questions the girls had after the formal talk. This type of meeting helps to answer those social questions that we all have, but are a bit shy about asking how to solve. The members of TCIIJS did not believe in spending all of their time doing service work. A talk by a uni- versity student on Romance Incorporated really kept the girls' attention at one meeting. One of the other meetings was held down at the Y.W.C.A. in the Rumpus Room where the girls played pingpong, shuffle board, bridge, and had refreshments. At an- other meeting the girls had a speaker on charm and personality who gave them very worth-while tips on grooming. However, the Tabs did their share of work. At Christmas time the girls collected gifts and gave them to a family much in need of them. KCIIZ, the IUOSK active of the 11B groups, had a very successful semester. One of the service projects that the girls tools upon themselves to do was provide a very poor family with food for an entire Thanks- giving dinner. At the P. T. A. Hallowe,en Carnival the girls sold homemade suckers and made over 520, besides winning second prize for their booth. Their Christmas party was in the form of a progressive dinner and was a big success. After New Year's, a toboggan party was held at the Country Clubg there was dancing afterward at the Y.W'.C.A. A good time was had by all. 59 BLUE TRI Bigger and Better Fall Officers Spring Officers Marjorie Pelton President Joan Kippley Karen Wiggens Vice Pres.

Carol Davis Another successful year, teeming with fun and service for Blue Tri! Yes, as upper class members of Y-Teens, these girls have planned many activities and service projects and have spent many enjoyable hours together. Y-Teens is an organization which is part of the Young Wonienis Christian Association and has clubs in every city high school. Once a month each club sends a representative to the Inner-Club-Council meeting where girls from all over the city gather together to exchange ideas and to bring back sugges- tions to their clubs. Through Y-Teens every girl has an opportunity to serve her school and community and to develop admirable traits of character and leadership. Blue Tri is divided into three groups, according to grades-11A's, 12B's, and 12A's-and is under the guidance of its advisers, Miss Hazel Perry, Miss Mary Alice Suber, and Mrs. Agnes Mulligan. The fall term opened with an organizational meet- ing and a membership party in the Girls' Gym. The Reverend Russell Meyers spoke to the girls at their Recognition Service, and in November a Thanks- giving service was held with the Hi-Y at St. xlohnis Church. At one of the group meetings Mrs. Elizabeth Doerge, from the Family and Children's Service, spoke to the girls and answered many of their ques- tions. Two of the main projects this year were selling Christmas cards and pencils, the club also donated seventy-five dollars to the Wforld Fellowship Fund. One of the highlights of Y-Teens is Lyman Lodge, the Y.XV.C.A. camp at Lake Minnetonka. Every year the girls look forward to overnights and week-ends filled with fun and activity at this camp. Every semester a NVorkshop is held for the oiiicers and com- mittee chairmen. This program is directed by the Y.XV.C.A. and the girls are given a brief period of training in the leadership and responsibilities of their offices. Last fall the Wforkshop was held at Lyman Lodge, and the girls found their week-end not only very instructive, but also a lot of fun. At a joint Senior Farewell party which was held with the U. C. Club in January, the officers of the fall term were given the honor of installing the new spring officers. The party was a big success and every- one had a good time. 60 z 2 Q il in i If 1 S 5 is E . 12 2 S 5 a 25 S?

W'ith the help of the dependable cabinet members the emblem is sure to be a great success. A few Words should be said at this time about the U. C. cabinet. It consists of one girl from each home room in IIA, four IZB girls. and five IZA girls. These girls meet approximately once a week, during the January U.C. Cabinet Orhcers half of their lunch period. The cabinet has the final decision on all proposals brought up at the U. C. meetings. U. C., though primarily a school organization, did a lot this year to aid others. Our donations to the stricken people of Europe came in the form of moneyg for CARP, packages. Through the aid of relief agencies, we gave food baskets to needy families at Christmas time. The Red Cross and March of Dimes also prospered, due to the support of U. C. The aim of our organization is to stimulate the girls' interests in school activities, and to accomplish school services.

Help Students Become Good Cntazens Q Arouse Interest in Self-Government H These People Are the Representatives of the NVashburn Student Body COUNCIL ADVANCES STUDENT GOVERNMENT No, it's not the original town meeting. It's the Washburn Student Council! This group, made up of repre- sentatives from each home room and the senior class oihcers, meets in room 105 under the direction of Mr. Flee- nor. President Bill Smith opens each session at which topics of general interest to the school are discussed. Student government has been the theme of the council this year although the members have only been work- ing experimentally. Study halls, the lunchroom, auditorium, and halls are the places suggested for this Work to begin. A step in this direction has been taken in a few study halls where the students have chosen chairmen to take charge. Another project, for which there has been widespread acclaim, is the choice of two auditoriums-one to be presented each semester. The Southern Serenadersf' four Negro singers from Texas and Oklahoma, sand their entire program of spirituals during an hour-long assembly. The student council also picked a program in which two top-Hight pingpong players demonstrated the art of playing pingpong. Bob Stotts, IZA, challenged the ex- perts but, unfortunately lost. Norman Lunderberg also played with them. Next year the setup of the student council may be different in that the representatives would, themselves, choose to be members. This arrange- ment would enable the group to give better service and more of it to the school. The student council is a very impor- tant organization in a democratic school. It gives a chance for problems to be thought through and a wise deci- sion to be made. Truly, it is a New Eng- land town meeting.

Yes, when January, 1949, rolls around these boys and girls will say good-bye to their Alma Mater, and XVashburn will say farewell to mid-year graduations. The 12B,s have emerged from their small home rooms and are gathered together into one large home room where, under the leadership of their ofhcers, Bill Marton, Ed Adamson, Sally Gibbs, and Everett McCubrey, and guided by their ad- visers, Mrs. Clara Basforcl, Miss Myra Goode, and Mr. Harvey Jackson, business is carried on more eflaciently. Along with the thrill of being Seniors go many responsibilities, privileges, honors, and good times. The students participate in numerous activities such as athletics and special interest clubs, and, of course, many are members of the National Honor Society. XVith graduation so near at hand the stu- dents are beginning to formulate future plans, college and otherwise. It is with faith and confidence that We place the leadership of our Alma-Mater into the competent hands of the future 12A's, and we extend to them every wish for future success.

ON-THE-FENCE Old enough to accept some responsibility, but still young enough to be ubossedn by the seniors- thatis the unlucky lot of the eleventh grade. However, they don,t seem to mind it and have done very well in making their class known to the rest of the school. Some of the well-knownn include Don Levine in football, Lloyd Thorgaard in basketball, Mary St. Anthony on the Poplarx, staff, and Mary Haugen for her interest in school affairs. The eleventh graders are introduced for the first time to new courses such as Shakespeare and American History and seem to be taking it all in their strides. They are making good use of their new responsibilities and privileges. Kun' Our: Hneg, Klier, Vanden, Bergle, Turtchell, Neider, Jensen, Swanson. Rau' Tu 11: Earl, Gibbs.

Promote Better Health Among Students WASHBURN GRIDDERS HAVE FAIR SEASON At the end of its season, XVashburn's 1947 football team displayed an unimpressive record of two wins and six losses. Despite this seemingly poor showing many players did outstanding work throughout the season. In the Hrst game of the season, Big Tom McNamee and his boys romped over Washburn 26-0. Washburn failed to cross the Pioneer's goal, although Kenny Wright made a sensational catch in the second period which could have started the ball rolling. Central stopped another Orange threat on its own 10 yard line in the clos- ing seconds of the game. In the Miller's first home game, the visiting North High aggregation was held scoreless in the second half after they had racked up 13 points in the first two periods. Several completed Stark to Roedel short passes in the second half failed to send the home team into the Polar end zone. Ted Carlsen at center played a terrific game, as did the whole team, although they lost 13-0. Don Levine had a field day in the Vocational game. He crossed the Volt's goal line twice. W'erness and joe Ander- son also found their way to pay-dirt. The hard work of Pohren, Nocks, and Roedel was one of the factors which helped the Millers defeat the Volts 25-6. The 50th street boys traveled to Nicollet Park to meet South for the fourth game of the season. The potential city champs handed the Millers a 20-13 defeat. A Nocks to W'right pass and a long run by Levine accounted for the two Washburn touchdowns. Both Ted Carlsen and Kenny XVright did beautiful jobs at their respective positions. W'ashburn lost its homecoming game to West 12-6 for the fourth defeat of the season. A 50 yard Nocks-Smith aerial to the West 16 yard line set up the Stark-Roedel pass which accounted for the only Orange tally. The Millers upset highly favored Edison 6-0 following the Cowboy defeat. Roedel took the ball across the stripe for the one touchdown of the game. Ted Stark ran the team beautifully in this game, Warner, who filled Cully Carlson's spot at guard, because of the latters injury in the West game, did excellent work. Roosevelt surprised the favored Washburn eleven when Roedclt Most Valuable Player it pulled a 7-0 defeat out of the bag. The outplayed Teddies scored in the last two minutes of the game. A disheartened Washburn team was taken to- the cleaners for a 28-14 defeat by Henry in the last game of the season. A long punt return by Strobel was the feature of the game. The boys just didn't seem to want to win this one. Squad: Row One: Coan, Luther, Gormley, Pflepsen, Peterson, Burns, Strobel, LaFond, Mattson.

Injuries kept them both from playing the entire season. Dick Let- son was, without a doubt, the back-bone of the Washburn line. Both Kenny W'right and Ted Stark should be congratulated for the hne jobs they did at quarterback. Raclmer, Spollum, Joe Anderson, Cully Carlson, and Ted Carlsen also deserve to be recognized for their unusual abilities to play football. All of these men, together with their able team- mates, formed an organization that was rightly feared by its league.

Up to this time, boys have always held these important positions in the school. The first squad this year was made up of Pimky Jordan and Joan Thayer, who graduated in January, Gerry Johnson, Squeaky LeSard, Clary and Cleone Nelson, Karen Wiggins, and captain acrobat of the group, Vonceil Tysk. This squad has originated several new cheers, and they say that the 'iLocomotive and wfwobitsi' go over best. Many a time these seven peppy cheerleaders have led a rousing cheer that has made the boys feel that the student body was really behind them. I-loMEcoMiNG This year, for the second time, Washburn's Home- coming Celebration was highlighted by the election of a queen. Carolyn Johnson was given this well-deserved honor. She and her two attendants, Dorie Norum and Carol Davis, were elected by the school from five candidates which also included Red Wiggins and Janet Alstrup. The biggest event over which Carolyn reigned Was, of course, the football game played with West in the afternoon. While orange and blue balloons floated above the bleachers, the queen and her attendants were driven around the field in a Cadillac convertible. Carolyn then delivered a short welcome address to the alumni. The Gales Are Open Pep Pcddlcrs Alwin Gives His All 1-Omball Rmalu- Popcorn! Peanuts! Luke!

Losing only to Vocational and North, the Orange finished the season with a record of 6 wins over 2 losses. Norm Lunderberg, star Miller center, took indi- vidual city-wide scoring honors with 100 points. Norm also captured a berth on the All-City team with Bobby Weriiess receiving honorable mention for his fine play. ln the season opener with Southwest, the Rossmen coasted to an easy victory of 39-22. Coach Ross with his ample opportunity for substitutions was able to review his material for the games to follow. john Larson, Ted Stark and Lloyd Thorgaard all turned in good showings. Scoring 24 points, Norm Lunderberg set the pace for a 58-44 defeat of Marshall. Norm and Lloyd 82 Thorgaard worked together to hold down the Car- dinalls ace Denny Nordling. Gordy Crichton, Bobby XVerness and Billy Marton were all outstanding in their defensive work. Marshall was considered an offensive power as they had been averaging 50 points a game, but considerable defensive weakness on the Cards part and the stellar play of the Millers brought about this decisive victory. Bob W'erness pulled the game out of the fire in the final moments by hitting for three successive field goals to put XVashburn ahead 44-40 over South. It was a hard fought game all the way, but the boys were rewarded with Weriiess, Norm Lunderberg and Bill Marton all placed on the Timex, All-City Team of the week. Witli a 47-32 victory over Central, it seemed that the Millers were really heading for District 17 berth with a record of 4 wins and no losses. The entire Adamson Marton Thorgaard ROSSMEN TIE FOR SECOND squad saw action in this game, with Norm Lunderberg, Ted Stark, Bob Werness, and John Larson hitting for most of the scoring. Sparked by Bob Werness' 22 points, Washburn won its Hfth straight game SO-41 against a tough West team. It was Washburn's game from start to finish even though the Cowboys played one of their best games of the season. Washburn led 14-7 at the quarter and extended the margin to 22-9 midway in the second quarter before West shifted from a zone to a man to man defense to hold things fairly even from then on. Halftime found the score 31-21, but the Orange managed to protect their lead to the final gun. The Orange were downed for the first time in a surprising upset by Vocational 43-28. The Volts defense was really clicking as they held the Millers to only nine field goals. Jerry Reynolds, center for the Volts, and Norm Lunderberg carried on 11 good defensive battle with each get- ting three baskets. The Rossmen just couldn,t seem to find the range as Lunderberg and Bill Mnrton hit for six of the nine field goals. Squad: Kon' Our: Adamson, Cullen, Nlgizq Mr. Ross, Moe, Mgr.g Zilkn.

Zilka Lunderberg, All-City Center BASKETBALL Scoring bucliets from four positions gave Whishburn a 63-39 victory over Henry. This placed the Millers in a three way tie for hrst honors with Edison and North with 6-1 records. Gordy Crichton and Bob Werness both hooped twelve while Norm Lunderberg and Lloyd Thorgaard hit for 15 and 13 respectively. Northls speed and tightly-knit defense held the better hand over Xvashburn as the Millers lost 42-31. North started out with an early lead and never relinquished it. Norm Lunderberg was top man for the Orange with 13 points. Although missing the city title by a narrow margin, the Millers had a triumphant season. Washburii drew No. 2 place in the proposed playoffs which were cancelled because of the teachers' strike. W'ith a host of veterans back for next year, the Orange hopes to follow in the fine basketball traditions of this and previous years.

WRESTLING Under the coaching of Mr. Helleckson, Wash- burn's wrestling squad has improved during the last year. The team started their season by defeating Henry, but suffered a defeat to Vocational when Captain Jim Phillips was unfortunately knocked out. The grapplers returned, however, to drub W'est, Marshall, and North. They lost their last meet to Roosevelt, the league winners, by a score of 39-37, leaving Wfashburn tied with Marshall for second. At North, five Washburn matmen pinned their opponents. These were Gene Booker, Bob Rueff, jerry Swanson, Ralph Cullen, and Roger Wilson. In the deciding meet with Roosevelt, Cullen Won, while Tippy Bjornstad, Dick Letson, and Phillips held their opponents to a draw.

SKIING The ski team's first meet was the Breck Invitational which was held at Moon Valley. Although Breck won the meet, XVashburn skiers Roger Coffman, Fred Fischer, Ralph Broten, and Pete XVittig took minor places. At the city high school meet, XVashburn,s defend- ing jumping champion, Dick Thompson, was un- fortunate in touching a hand on his second jump, which set him back to ninth place. Tom Eddy took second place and Ralph Broten took fifth place. In the slalom, Broten was sixth and John Sarles was eighth, and in the cross country, Broten was fourth and Don Wfallace was eighth, giving Wfashburn a point total of third in the city. nson, Calva.

Last season the Millers bowed to only one ball club, St. Paul Washington, to lose the Twin City championship. Dick Crichton and Wally Nocks did their share for the Millers by striking out forty-nine in five games and forty-six in six games, respectively. Top honors in hitting doubles goes to Paul Scanlon with seven to his credit. Wally Nocks and both Crich- tons got four a piece to tie for second. Paul also took honors in hitting triples. Dick Crichton was home run king, with Jimmy Scanlon, Ted Stark, and Wally Nocks close behind. Coach Ray Ross said he was pleased with the boys, showing and hopes next season will be as good. He hopes to see a grade A squad form with such boys as Gordy Crich- ton, Jim Scanlon, Chuck Adamson, Ted Stark, Tom Briggs, and Earl Barclay for a backbone. After two easy victories over South and Southwest, the Millers met their first real test when they faced West. The Cowboys' much praised Lundeen was wild, and we fought our way to a 2-0 victory. South broke the Rossmen's 34 inning shutout by driving a single to right field that brought two Tiger men home. The game ended with a 10-2 victory for the Orange nine. Washburn found the going easy until they met West again at Nicollet Ball Park, but we beat them 3-1. Then we journeyed to our invitational Carleton meet where Wally Nocks and Dick Crichton pitched a 11-1 vic- tory over St. Paul Marshall and a 10-1 victory over Mechanic Arts. That same day we bowed to St. Paul Washington. 5-0. Back at Nicollet Park the Millers played a night game against Edison for the city championship. In this contest, Ted Stark accounted for four of our five runs by hitting a home run with the bases loaded. The game ended S-4 to Co-Captains Nocks and Crichton make Washburn City Cl'l2llTlpS.

These letters are given to the boys who represent XV:1shburn on the athletic fields. On approval of the coaches the boy is presented with a Wfashburn W, which automatically places him in the W', Club. One also may gain admittance to the XV Club by per- forming an outstanding school service. Service letters are given to the boys who act as managers for the football, baseball, and basketball squads. Service letters are also presented to other individuals who perform outstanding services in the interest of the school. The orange and blue XV,s mean a lot to the boys who have earned them. They represent hard work, hours of practice and above all else, sportsmanship, which represents W'ashburn athletics. Many times the letter represents per- sonal injury sustained to bring home a winner to Wfashburn. Many of the letters presented at XY'ashburn have a small, but significant, orange star woven into the blue back- ground. This Stal' represents a championship Wfashburn has taken in the sport in which the letter was presented. Last year letters with stars in them were presented to all the boys who lettered in baseball, basketball, and tennis. Letters are presented in all sports, from skiing to football and no differentiation is made between a major or a minor letter. Wfashburn has not always produced a championship in every sport but the boys have consistently put forth their best and are deserving of our deepest thanks.

Washburn's flying tracksters took second place behind the fleet-footed South team 2822-23 in the annual Metropoli- tan meet. Don Landstrom and Norm Lunderberg led Washburnls attack. The cinder boys placed second at the Carleton Invitational meet behind South 43-41. The Miller relay team showed top form when it captured the 880 relay. Jumpin Norm placed first in the high jump and second in the broad jump. The thinclads kept the twelve-year tradition of being undefeated in dual meets by downing Southwest and Roosevelt 71-42 and 65-48, respectively. Dick Swalin took the discus and Wzllter Ostrem outdistanced Phil Lind in a thrilling mile to snap Southwest! monopolies in these events. 1'Leaping,' Norm captured both the high jump and broad jump as Wfash- burn placed second in the city meet. Don Landstrom won the 120 yard high hurdles and was second in the lows. joey Anderson placed second in both the 100 yard and 220 yard dashes. W'e captured a first also in the 880 relay. North defeated us 45-41 Vg. Our cinder squad quit playing second hddle and captured the state championship. The Millers won with 22, Wortlmiiagton had ZIUQ, and North followed with 21. Don Landstrom, Lydell Haffton, Dick Nelson. and Joe Anderson took the only first for the Millers in the relay race. Norm Lunderberg took second place in the high jump and run- ning broad jump. Don Landstrom placed sec- ond and third, respectively, in the low hurdles and 120 yard high hurdles. .joe Anderson placed fourth in the 100 yard dash. lt was entirely a team victory for Wfashburn. 1947 All-State Relay Team: I,IIl1iIXIl'0l11, Anderson, I Ik1I'TIl71'l, Nelson, Conn.

W'illiz1l11s Cil0Al'N IIN Hurdles Duffers Aim for Golf Team Berths PAR BREAKERS After every spring thaw, one can usually ind the Wfashburn golfers out digging up the adjoining golf links and this year was no exception. Golf is a sport that takes a great deal of practice and as a result, Washburn's linksters were out on the city's golf courses almost as soon as the snow disappeared. Coach Lloyd Alwin is looking toward a more suc- cessful season this year as he has three returning letter- men. Gone from last yearis squad are Tom Holloran and Flint Harding, but Alan Schedin, Roy Olson, and Chuck Hopkins are back again for competition this year. There are quite a number of promising golfing prospects in the ranks of XVashburn, who will vie for a place on this year's team. Future Professional Racketeers NET HOPPERS Another tennis season is past C1947j, and Wash- burn has another tennis trophy to add to its laurels. The W'ashburn net-men have smashed their way to their second straight city and Twin City tennis crown. By defeating North in the last match of the year, Washburn ran its string of undefeated dual city meets to twenty. Southwest and Central offered the stiffest competition last year and are expected to be tough again this year. The tennis team was sparked on last year by Cap- tain Pudge W'hitcomb, Dave Wfillard, and Paul Dam- kroger who played singles. Peter Randall, Bud Meadley. Ed Siegel, and Bob Rogge held down the doubles com- binations. Three of these lettermen returned for this year's competition. PUCKSTERS FINISH AS CITY CHAMPS The quality of the hockey played in 1948 was an improvement over the two previous seasons following its war absence from the city high school sports schedule. In 1948, the Washburn sextet won Eve games and lost one in regular league play. They won the city title and finished sixth in the state. Washburn started its season by taking Edison 3-2. Wally Nocks scored two points. The sextet took Marshall 1 in their second game 5-2. Then, as a graduation gift to Wfally Nocks, the icemen gave the all-city defense- 3 man a 3-1 victory over North. XVith twelve penalties called, the Millers white-washed Roosevelt 5-O. Ole Veaasen scored two goals unassisted. Easily topping Vocational S-0, the sextet played a good defensive game with goalie Bud Meadley getting only , two stops. It was Central that stopped the Miller victory string by upsetting Washburn 3-1. The Orange then were tied with South with a S-1 record for first place. With an almost faultless attack the Millers decisively shut- out Southwest with a 6-0 count in the playoffs. Don Lind- vall led the scoring with four goals. In the title tilt Wash- burn outplayed South but could only win with a 1-0 score. Losing to St. Cloud Tech in the state tourney opener, 4-2, the Millers could only rally to tie the contest at two-all. However, that rally was stopped short when its spark, Ole Veaasen, was body checked and put out of action with a shoulder injury. Tech then came back to score two more goals. Meeting Rochester the next day, the icemen entered into the fray with an entirely different spirit than that of the previous day. Playing inspired hockey the icemen throttled , the Red and White 6-1. Lloyd johnson set the pace by , scoring two goals and assisting on three others. In the Consolation Title game the Millers encountered the St. Paul city champs, Harding High. Harding scored first, but Pete Rask's slap-shot tied up the game for Washburn. The tie caused the game to go into the second overtime when the Scarlet dented the meshes to win the game 2-1. Wash- burn thus ended up in sixth place. Captain Richie Johnson and Don Lindvall both made the all-city teams while NWally Nocks received a special rating due to his mid-season graduation. The 1948 season with its first city championship since 1939 may be con- sidered to be one of the most successful in W'ashburn's history.

Oh, no, lim not ready! XVe'll be marked absent! These are some of the remarks that might be heard if one were to drop into the girls' gym at the beginning of the class period. Once attendance has been taken, though, all the girls enthusiastically participate in the activities of the class. Most of the hour is taken up by the sports which are played in season. Fall and winter sports include speedball, volleyball, deck ten- nis, and basketball, while later in the spring baseball and badminton are popular. In addition to these activities during school time, the girls may, to earn six hundred points for their W,s,' and one thousand points for their emblems, play golf and tennis, go swimming, riding, and skat- ing. For the first time in the history of Washburn, they may ski and bowl. The girls may swim at the Athletic Club, Where one of them must be a ITICITI- ber, or at the Y.W.C.A. Skating is supervised by the students, and this year LaVerne Byrd took her ambi- tious skaters to the Arena. The tennis tournament this year was won by Susanne Kennon, with Peggy Low- ther as runner-up. Susanne, with her partner joan Meagher, also won the deck tennis tournament. Jane Carlson and Joanne Rider were runners-up in this event. For the girls who prefer them, folk or square danc- ing may be taken in place of the regular gym period. In these classes the students learn many of the funda- mental dance steps that were used long ago. Miss Bowen hopes to include modern dancing and tumbling in next yearis curriculum.
