Towards those beckoning hills came a horde of ambitious people, hard workers as well as drifters. Most of this gathering throng sought their nuggets in lawful ways but others, sad to relate, wandered widely from the straight and narrow. To cope with this obstrep- erous element came the Vigilantes, that group of good men and women, tried and true, who said, Nay, you shall seek the gold in these hills, but you shall not break the peace! Following in the rugged footsteps of their gallant predecessors, the Washburn faculty, Vigilantes of today, are bravely endeavoring to restrain the tempestuous spirits of our student speculators in their search for the precious gold nuggets of education. The purpose of the Vigilantes has changed somewhat since the gold rush days of '49 when their only objective was keeping law and order in the glorious land of every man for himself. Today, however, since order now prevails here at Washburn UD, the work of the Vigilantes also in- cludes the guiding of the speculators and prospectors in their studies, directing them in their clubs and group organizations, and supervising their recreational activities. As the work of the Vigilantes daily increases and broadens, it gains new ideas and perspective, enabling them to keep up with the ever changing world. The Vigilantes have indeed traveled far since the days of the '49ers, but today, even as then, they continue to face the always challenging problems of the future. 'fi Iii f freer vb I . 1.x QM..

Fleenor, our principal, is particular- ly proud of his experience last summer par- ticipating in an Economic Workshop at New York City. Having been an Economics Major, Mr. Fleenor was instrumental in arranging for the Minneapolis Workshop on Economic Problems to be held at West High this summer. Centennials interest M1'. lfleenor, too. The forty-niner theme goes back to the first days of Minnesota as a territory. This date was also a centennial for James Whitcomb Riley. We on the Wahian staff strongly suspect the kindly philosophy and the genial good nature of the t'Hoosier poet finds a good disciple in our friend. ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AND COUNSELLORS AID STUDENTS Pictured here is Mr. Frank Janes, our able Assistant Principal. Mr. .lanes held the position of Superintendent of Schools in North Dakota and southern Minnesota before coming to VVashhurn as a chemistry teacher in 1936. Enlight- ening students in the mysteries of chemistry kept him here until 1941, when he enlisted in the Army. He returned in the fall of 1947, and now takes charge of student-teacher relations, excuses, interviewing parents, and aiding stu- dents in their personal adjustments. As girls' counselor, Miss Mable Christensen ably serves VVashburn in many ways. She aids the girls in selecting colleges and excuses necessary absences. She helps the seniors with all the details of graduation and in the selection of programs. Her friendly and sympathetic counsel on personal and school problems has earned the gratitude of girls of all grades. As boys' counselor, Mr. Mervin Dillner is kept busy all day long with students' problems. When a student has a problem concerning his future education or vocation, Merv is usually the one to set him straight. He has given many students advice as to which college to attend. Besides being an all around good guy, Merv is a very understanding and patient person. He is always busy in promoting school activities. He is also very active in the Y.M.C.A. and in Hi-Y work.

STUDENT COUNCIL COMPLETES SUCCESSFUL YEAR Washburn's student council began its work this term with great enthusiasm. For some time previous the council had been inactive but under able leadership with guidance of Mr. Fleenor, the council started out full steam ahead. When members, who iilled scholarship and personality requirements were selected, plans were made for repre- sentatives to attend various all-city councils and meetings of interest to the school. Dances were given and auditoriums and worthwhile drives for foreign and domestic relief were sponsored. Most important of the year's activities was the joint homecoming with Vocational High. For the first time in Washburn's history, both a homecoming Queen and King were chosen, entertainment was provided during half time at the game, and, of course, the annual dance was held in the gym. The slogan for homecoming was Wash! Burn! Beat! Volts! Congratulations are in order for the line Work done this year by the council. Row One: Engel, Berg, Porter, Young, Monaghan, Mr. Porter. Row Two: Silver, Kelly, Nielson, Winchell, Matzoll, Casey. Row Three: Moe, Anderson, Oster, Taplin, Payton, Eichhorn. RECORDS COMMITTEE Do you have typing errors and ink smudges on your report cards? If you do, just blame it on to the 12th Grade Records Committee. They are the students chosen to type the report cards and the ofiice credit cards. The Committee is un- der the supervision of Mr. Porter. The Committee meets in Room 105 three times a semester. It is usually the Monday before report cards come out. They mark the report cards, and also re- cord the marks on to the ofiice credit cards. Besides marks, they record attend- ance and tardiness. It is their duty to make out the Honor Roll. 7 THESE PEOPLE HELP Under the able leadership of Miss Marion Trowbridge and Margaret Oberg, Washburn's art department is one of the city's best. Courses in sketch, paintings, design and fashion are offered. Last January a new one began when Miss Oberg took three classes of craft, de- signed to interest students in carving, painting, and modeling. As examples of the teachers' help and student talent we cite the many Wash- burn winners in the Regional Scholastic Art Exhibition last March. The first, second, or third awards in several fields were taken by Connie Nosby, Jade Hong, Jeanne Raihle, Delores Aalbu, Elizabeth Fisher, Dave Anthony, Tom Olson, Mar- gery Bates and Marilyn Jacobson. Miss McCune, Washburn's able dieti- cian, orders food, plans menus, and sees that the ladies in the kitchen prepare our meals in a tasty fashion. VVe congratu- late her for doing so well. Mr. Hill, Head Engineer, plans work schedules for the janitors. Mr. Hill's cheerful, eficient manner continues the work so ably di- rected by Mr. Burt before his death- keeping Washburn in excellent condition. The duty of the school nurse is to in- terview students that have been absent. They must have her permission before they can attend their classes. During the day, if a student becomes ill, she will excuse him to go home. Mrs. Helanger has given many inter- esting talks to classes on mental health, child care, and home nursing. The health of the school is in her hands. Everyone is looking: forward to the day when the north wall of the library will be knocked out and the memorial room, next door, will furnish some much needed space. We now have the smallest school library in Minneapolis, in proportion to the size of the school. Miss Brown, our school librarian, says, 'Alt is very inade- quatelu Miss Brown and her assistant, Miss Olson, with the help of the library board, are kept running trying' to locate the books needed.

Over hills and plains, across the continent to California traveled young and old with a constant vision of gold giving glory to their dreams. By no means did the panned gold bring wealth to them all, but it did create a more important factor-the foundation of the West. However, these 49'ers had adventure in their blood and, though they were the pillars of their communities, struck out again. Over mountains and streams, following the rainbow, ever in search of gold and new frontiers to conquer. So as the prospectors of a century ago came to the West, the 1OB's came to the wilderness of Washburn. With not much more than spirit and future they entered these halls with the thought of succeeding. The school was new and strange to them, but they were ready to accept the challenge and maybe create a few of their own. Settling down to their places as juniors, they discarded their pioneering days. They were now ready for whatever harvest their prospecting might bring them. Now their long hoped for success is upon them, they are at the top. New prospectors look upon these experienced individuals as the leaders of Washburn High. Each senior's achievements are listed along with his picture proving that it can be done. However, like the prospectors of 1849, they still possess a restless sense of adventure. Soon they shall begin anew, panning for their gold on the frontiers of 1949. -ru4Qr ..:.,f,'D.1g,a ,aa , X N ,QD . 1 , '- X19 Q '-A -' l --N-Ls .T lf' 'A+ ' J J f ' H a ,ff irffqff i, 454 vi.

With only 102 in the class, three vale- dictorians and one salutatorian were chosen. lncidentally, all four we1'e girls. Sara Epstein, Eileen Dougherty, and Peggy Jungberg were the valedictor- ians, and the salutatorian was Diane Marquette. Besides studying, these girls also participated in other activities. Being active in many school organizations, Sara still found time for drawing, playing the piano, knitting, and sew- ing. During her last semester, Eileen was busy practicing for her part in the class play, besides playing the piano in her spare time. Voted most studious by her class, Peggy's interests outside of school include knitting and ice skating. Most of Diane's time was spent at the piano as she was an accompanist for all the glee clubs. She plans to make music her career. As a reward for their good grades, all four of the girls were excused from final tests. lt's too bad everyone can't be a valedictorian or salutatorian. At the January Commencement Pro- gram, the valedictorians gave a sym- posium. The theme was t'Traveling Along Life's Road, and skillfully re- called our days at school.

After being both 9A and 12B class president, 'tMartl' came through again in 12A. Everyone in the class well re- members the lighting campaign, com- plete with posters and speeches, put on by Bill in Ramsey. Then, in both 12B and 12A, he was elected unani- mously. Also, Billy is well-known on the football held and basketball lloor. Helping Bill with the executive duties was Sara Epstein. Sara is also prominent in the brains department, as she was one of the valedictorians. She was active in numerous school clubs, including Spanish, LEC., and Chroma. Sally Gibbs was the 12A class sec- retary, serving her second term in this ofiice, as she also took the minutes in 12B. Sally is remembered as one of Washburn's 1948 Homecoming Queen Attendants. Another second-termer is Everett Moose McCubrey. He was in charge of the money for the Seniors in 12B as well as 12A. It's doubtful whether the class dues ever served their in- tended purpose. Big Moose had some pretty nice new shirts during his senior year. Seriously, Everett did a swell job as treasurer, and he was also district Hi-Y treasurer.

Goof O? 55' mama 509' fo .Jigs CLASS PLAY Out of the Frying Pan was chosen as the Janu- ary, '49, class play because talent was found in the class that suited the parts in the play. It is about three young men and three young women who share an apartment where they have been driven by lack of funds. Their aim in this is to entice a producer who lives below them to come to see their perform- ance of his production which they have been doggedly rehearsing. He Hnally did come up . . . to borrow some flour for a recipe! But the clan managed to encourage him to remain to see the play. A certain murder scene turns out so realistically that police swarm into the scene. However, in spite of everything, what seems to be a profitable friendship springs up. The friend is encouraged to be a corpse, Equity dues get paid, the landlady gets the back rent, and it looks as if the fellas and gals might find what they want in the future.

Elaine Pearson also won honors as Valedictorian in the Com- mercial field in English, geometry, bookkeeping, typing, shorthand, sec'- retarial practice, American history and modern problems. These three girls had the highest grade awarded in every subject they took-the coveted Af, We are happy to give them Wahian's highest honor, Summa Cum Laude. Joanne Porter, who followed the academic course, took English, geo- metry, biology, advanced algebra, American history, physics, modern problems, two years of French and one year of Latin.

They helped with club activities, worked on the yearbook, performed on the stage and cheer- fully worked on all assignments. The boys may occasionally be jealous of girls and their success in the class- room-however, they acknowledge the true ability, the gift of scholastic consistency, so typical of Phyllis, Elaine, Katherine, and Joanne. 20 -- gl J Kathy Callas, Secretary Mary St. Anthony, Vice President Earl Clements, Treasurer Bob Rueff, President Katherine Peterson, Valedictorian Phyllis Dahl, Valedictorian Elaine Pearson, Valedictorian fNot picturedj Joan Porter, Salutatorian CLASS OFFICERS If you happened to enter the hal- lowed haven of Room 317 some first period, you would undoubtedly stumble upon Bob Rueff, Mary St. Anthony, Kathy Callas, and Earl Clements, known to all as the June senior class officers.

We hope that in the time between revisions and the final publication we may be able to give those honored people their late laurels. We do know Kathy Callas won the D.A.R., and Molly Mathews was Washburn's representative at Girls' State last June. Other heroes and heroines will temporarily remain unsung. Departing from usual procedure, the adviser of the Wahian made other awards. Honors and distinc- tion go to Dick Compton. In all the history of Wahian production no student has done so well or so willing- ly. The layouts are evidence of Dick's genius. Usually those of lesser ability do the leg work-yet it was Dick who made frequent trips to the Bureau of Engraving and to the Printers. Your work, Dick, was real- ly appreciated. Jane Nielson, not only wrote copy, but also ably assisted our typist, Janet Oster, when we were pressed to meet deadlines. Janet, your work was excellent, thanks for your cheerful contribution. Bill fSlide Rulej Nolan, your sport section was nicely done. It was good of you to visit the Star Journal to get those marvelous action shots. Joan Olson-your extra work was appreciated, especially copy reading. Others, who have been overlooked, accept a humble apology. Mary Haugan, Janet Peterson, Connie Nosby-the editorial staff sincerely appreciates the work you did on the Art Staff-We commend you for the prompt, good work on mounting. Thanks also to Joyce Dyste, Donna Thompson, and Betty Mann for the artistic touches, which added to the appeal of our Wahian. Kay Duby-your signs selling the Wahian were terrific! Mr. Siegel, Mr. Dahlberg-thanks for the frequent help you gave to the staff. Mr. Lundgren, your natural kindness, cheerfulness in taking our last minute decisions for more pictures show a fine understanding of our problems. Oh, yes, must not forget Pat Fawcett. Your Faculty Section was well done-you put a lot of time on it. Marilyn Sather-you were the most consistent of the staff-you probably aided in more different sections than anyone else on the staff. Mark Reiser will be amply rewarded if he collects all the money for the Wa- hian. When he pays the Engraving and Printing bills we will have a special Commencement service for him. Thanks, Mark, as Business Manager you did an excellent job. files? Una Qxcsfv QQYSM L es1sTD s X 09,5 SOSMUN V' CLASS PLAY George Washington Slept Here was given by the June graduating class to raise funds for their class memorial. We will never forget how funny Don Levine was as Mr. Kimber. The uproarious comedy was well suited to the capable cast. Under the splendid direction of Mr. Krause, the play was bound to become an all star production. The 'tWahian has ordered thirty Oscars for the cast and Mr. Krause. Outstanding in a beautiful production was Virginia Dwan las Annabelle Fuller. Virginia's touch turned the ramshackled tfarm house into a lovely home. Jerry Wasley was a panic as Newt Fuller. Bob Hope could Lpick up some pointers from Jerry. Pardon us for laughing- iyou were great. Praise goes to John Ness for the natural depicting of the blow-hard Uncle Stanley, who while broke, kept his relatives in the Aladdin Lamp myth of a possible rich inheritance they might receive when he died. Libby Kahler and John Williams assembled the long line of properties to make everything proceed so smoothly. All in con- nection with the play, the sung and unsung heroes and hero- ines, Washburn is proud of you. Thanks, too, for the wonderful spot lights you bought for Ehe stage. Your efforts will continue to bring happiness to uture Thespians. The play was certainly appropriate in dealing with a hous- ing situation, an outstanding problem facing many Americans in 1949. Congratulations are in order to Roger Jones and Kemper Vine for the marvelous scenery created for the play. Long ours of hard work produced a perfect set with two changes, dilapidated farm house, then the second creation, an im- roved version with a Better Homes and Garden improvement echnique. Dennis Rupp deserves credit, too, for his marvelous work as stage manager. Ylr.

Giear C599 QQ. 4' Lf Wlosi' Q Jem gesi e ase igiew 'MMG i ! r amauuqtfxa sow 'f JIAAJ if t The year 1949 marks the anniversary of one of the most dramatic events in American history-the discovery of gold in California and the gold rush that followed. One century ago, the courageous and fortune-hungry men and women began working their way across the continent in covered wagons, and on horseback, traveling over mountains and across trackless prairies. They had to brave many dangers from Indians and starvation. The Speculators went to California with the one idea all the others had in mind-gold. They were taking a great chance, leaving their establish- ments in the East and striking out into a new life. Many had California or bust on their wagons, and many did bust As soon as they arrived, they pitched their tents and began searching for the best accessible places to pan gold. They worked hard from dawn till dusk, sometimes meeting with success, sometimes days would pass darkened with disappointment. However, the Speculators would go on searching and taking chances. The Speculators in general, were the most active of all the 49'ers. In like manner to that of the Speculators, students come from the far reaches of John Burroughs, Hale, Windom, etc., through Ramsey to the hallowed portals of Washburn. There are many mountains and plains they must cross, and when they arrive, they search for membership in the various organizations in which they are interested. The members of these organiza- tions are the most active members of the student body. After many hardships of attending meetings, paying dues, etc., they find their pot of gold-a pic- ture of their own beaming face in the Wahian.

Tomorrow never comes Z- Remember, deadlines are hard to meet! Spurred on by these and various other gentle reminders listed on Mr. Louis Claeson's blackboard the Wahian Stat? has worked industriously during the past semester to com- plete the 1949 yearbook. Yes, contrary to popular belief, something was accomplished during each of those sixth- hour work periods, although it may seem hard to be- lieve. Even during the dark days of January when the staf was just being organized, work on the yearbook progressed. Under the able f?J direction of its Co- Editors, Mary Fleetham and Dick Compton, deadlines were met and page set-ups arranged. Mary and Dick were assisted in this task by the rest of the staff, particu- larly the Associate Editors, Barbara Briendenbach, Joan Olson, and Bob Zimmerman. At the same time a note of efliciency was introduced by the business manager, prematurely graying Mark Reiser, who handled the 'tWahian's complicated Hnancial affairs throughout the year. Arrangement of the athletic section was super- vised by Sports Editor, Bill Nolan. The remainder of the Wahian members were divided into two groups, the editorial staff and the art staif. The former, under the supervision of Mr. Louis Claeson f Simon Legree to lax staff writersj, handled page arrangement and Wrote the necessary copy for the yearbook. The turmoil in 218 through the year may be credited to this group in general and to Charlie Haugen, a staff writer, in particular. The drawings arranged throughout the Wahian were done by the art staff, under the supervision of Miss Marion Trowbridge. This group also handled the job of mounting pictures for the engraver. Mary Haugen was Art Editor. WAHIAN STAFF Row One: St. Anthony, Peterson, Duby, Thompson, Mann. Row Two: Neilson, Nosby, Dyste, Engel, Fas- sett. Row Three: Heiberg, Sather, Sward.

Do you know what goes into the actual making of a single issue? The first step in preparing an issue is the as- signment of stories. The editors and their assist- ants decide what shall be assigned on to what pages the assigned material will go, and to whom the assignment will be given. Then the assign- ment sheet is posted on the Grist room bulletin board and the reporters are notified. At this point the editors may relax for a day or two-until assignments start coming in. Then editing is started. When an article has been edited, and, if necessary, rewritten, it is typed and sent to the advisor, Mr. Carlson, along with the headlines Written by the editors. Mr. Carl- son may censor it, suggest improvements, or si gn his approval. l As the copy is approved, it is taken to the printers. There it is printed in duplicate on long sheets of paper called galleys. One set of galleys is sent back to the printer with the corrections that must be made, the other is cut into articles and taped on an old Grist in the manner in which it will appear on the finished issue. The editors spend the day before the Grist comes out at the printers. The remaining copy is printed on galleys, proofread, and corrected. Any necessary cuts in length are made and the paper is set up. When the entire page has been laid out, a printer sets up the type while the editors instruct him as to what must be cut and see that everything is set up correctly. A copy of each page as it will appear, called a dummy sheet, is printed and is proofread for the last time by the editors. The paper then goes to press and is distributed the following day to the students. GRIST STAFF Row One: Richardson, Mann, Hen- drickson, Thorp, Iverson, Jernberg, lioel, Adams, K.

HI-Y STRESSES CHARACTER AND SERVICE It is generally believed that Hi-Y is the most active social and service organization at Washburn. The real purpose of Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school and community. There are eleven Hi-Y clubs at Wash- burn, with about one hundred and fifty members. Service projects are the most important of the Hi-Y's activities. These service projects include such things ,as selling Christmas tree tickets for the Y's Men's Club, and working on the Christmas tree lots during the Christmas season, and making contributions to projects like F.O.B. fF.O.B. stands for For Other Boys. J The purpose of the organization is to rebuild the war-torn Europe. These are only a few of the services that Wash- burn Hi-Y has performed. Hi-Y also held a benefit dance for the March of Dimes, which netted the fund 9560. The social activities of Hi-Y shine almost as brightly as the service projects. Each club usually throws about four parties a year, not counting the two all Hi-Y Senior Farewells, which are held every January and June. Athletics play a large part in the Hi-Y's spring pro- gram. Every spring, Hi-Y has its softball tournament. Each club forms its own team, and holds matches with different club teams. Last year the softball tournament was won by Triangles Hi-Y. Awards are also given to clubs with the highest scholarship. All Hi-Y meetings are held on Tuesday nights. All meetings open with a prayer, given either by an ofiicial club Chaplain, or by the member at whose house the meeting is being held. Then the business of the club is taken care of, and the meetings are adjourned. Refresh- ments are usually served afterwards, and most clubs have a guest speaker, whose topics range from boy-girl relations to international aHairs. Faculty members are very much in demand as guest speakers. Hi-Y clubs are bound together by the Hi-Y cabinet. At the beginning of the school year, Jerry Loomis was president, Earl Wettstein was vice president, the sec- retary was Eugene Booker, Peter Oberhauser and Ever- ett McCubrey were co-treasurers, and Bob Rueff was publicity chairman. They were succeeded this January by Don Denike, Gene Booker, Dick Stockwell, Jim Moe, Lloyd Thorgaard, and David Ratcliff. This April, Washburn's Hi-Y lost the man who has done more than anyone else to make Washburn's Hi-Y a success. William Reitzke, who was the Y.M.C.A. sec- retary, has taken over as the big boss in St. Paul. St. Paul's gain is our loss.

Christmas found the Delta boys put- ting in many cold hours at the Christmas tree lot. Some of their other projects included a comic book collection for the Kenny Institute and a paper sale. A big gap will be left in Delta when a large part of the club graduates in June. STO HI-Y The past year has been a very success- ful one for STO, under the capable leader- ship of Dave Wheaton, and their club officers. STO has carried on many noteworthy service projects which include the STO College Bookshelf in the school library, Y's Men's Xmas tree sales, and a large donation to the World Youth Restoration Fund Cto restore Y.M.C.A.'sJ. A. C. E. HI-Y The A.C.lfI. club this year had an in- teresting schedule. They had an athletic star from the U. of M. and plan to have others. Joint meetings were held with both boys' and girls' clubs. A speaker was obtained to talk on boy-girl relations. An inter-club basketball game was played with C.H.I. A driving course may be planned. 42 A. P. O. Row One: Haugen, V. Pres. : Nelson, Pres.: Limlc- man, Sec. Row Two: li. Peterson, Sherman, Victor, Schaefer. COGS Row One: Richardson, V.

HI-Y A.l'.O. is a Hi-Y club with thirteen membe1's. The members of this club are very active in attending meetings on Tuesday nights and also very willing to work. During Christmas the boys sold Christ- mas tree tickets and worked hard at the Christmas tree lot, where the people picked up their trees. A.P.O. sent four boys down to the Y.lVI.C.A. for the oiiicers' training ses- sions. COGS HI-Y Washburn's Christian Organization for Good-fellowship and Service sponsored a March of Dimes Benefit Ball which grew to such proportions that it won the sup- port and approval of the All-Hi-Y Cab- inet, the faculty, and the student body to such an extent that 3360.00 was made for this worthy cause. Interesting speakers kept the Cogs' meetings well attended throughout the vear. K. O. D. HI-Y K.O.D. Hi-Y sold Christmas Tree Tickets as a means of raising money be- sides club dues. Over a hundred tickets were sold. The boys also spent 67 hours on a Y's Men's lot to raise money for worthy projects. . Some club members worked: on trucks collecting Christmas trees. This was partly a service project. For programs the club has been hav- ing a series of movies. There also have been a series of speakers and movies on boy-girl relationships in progress. CHI CLUB Since its organization in 1946, CHI with the help of its able leaders Mert Maass and Clarence Swenson, has built up a reputation for outstanding Hi-Y service. Now in its third year, CHI has climaxed its rise with the election of two of its members to the Washburn Hi-Y Cabinet, Don Denike as President, and Dave Ratcliff as Publicity Chairman. 43 TRIANGLES Row One: Longren, Nelson, St. Mane, Obcrbeck.

TRIANGLES HI-Y Triangles Hi-Y is one of the oldest clubs in Washburn. It has one of the best organized alumni groups in Minneapolis. Annually it has one of the most outstand- ing service records of the clubs at Wash- burn, but still its members keep high scholastic standards. SPURS HI-Y With Jerry Wasley wielding the gavel, the meetings of Spurs Hi-Y are called to order every Tuesday. Chris Hoy is the club scribe, while Bob Vanasse handles the finances. Tom Marr is Vice President. Besides parties, the programs featured speakers, movies, and sports. In the line of service projects, Spurs did guard duty on the football field last fall, sold Christmas tree tickets, and worked at Y's Men's lot. SPARKS HI-Y Sparks, under the combined leadership of Mark Mathews and Chuck Sedgewick, has had a very successful season. We had many social functions, among which were house pa1'ties, Weiner roasts, and we had a good attendance at the all Hi-Y party at Glenwood. For the service of the community we have, among other things, donated a food basket to a needy family, and sold a hun- dred Christmas tree tickets. 1 -9 HI-Y H1-9', Hi-Y has been quite active this year, to make it a top ranking club. They vigorously supported the sale of Xmas trees. They have had twelve programs this year and have had quite active meet- ings. Besides all the good xvork they have done, they have still had time for other activities such as sports. They defeated 'tDelta in the annual Snow Bowl game, played each year around Xmas time by the two strongest Hi-Y clubs, 13-0. They have had a few parties and other activ- ities also. 44 OFFICE BOARD Row One: Young, Callas, Van den Bergh, Sec. to Asst.

OFFICE-CERS - PROSE-PECTORS - CAPITALISTS Experience necessary! Good secretaries that can write. Experi- enced switchboard operators in disconnecting all parties. Keep messy files, make out skip lists. Call friends out of classes, fill teachers' boxes with their fan mail. Call absentees and be able to detect a slight masculine touch to a motherls voice. Also take care of at- tendance cards, taking and mixing up messages. Seriously though, these twelfth grade girls who serve on the office board, are doing a grand job and service for Washburn. They give up their valuable time, without any class credits, to serve you. Those smiling faces you see behind the library desk are the mem- bers of the library board. These students have given up their studies to assist Miss Brown with many of the varied chores in the library. They're rarely idle for when they finish collecting fines, shelv- ing books, dusting, etc., there's always more work waiting in the back room. Sometimes they do get to sit down but never for more than a minute, they claim. The reason for this is that in addition to ,i L-.dual their other jobs, they help locate books and other materials for stu- dents and teachers. The Co-operative Work Program is one of the newest courses to be oifered by Washburn High School. It is a plan whereby a Senior student may gain practical experience while still in attendance at school. He has three regular classes in school one of which must be Occupational Relations, and is excused at 11 130 to go to work. The job must be approved by the school: and he makes weekly reports to the coordinator on what he learns, the number of hours he works, and what he earns. Once every six weeks, he receives a formal grade on the quality of work which he does, and he earns a regular credit toward graduation. Jobs varying from machine operation to selling, from candy making to typing, from grocery clerks to mail messengers, are being held by approximately fifty students who are enrolled on the Work Program this year.

ACQUIRES GOLD NUGGET SCHOLARS The National Honor Society has had a long and active record at Washburn High School. Founded early in the school's history, our chapter was one of the first in the United States. The society is one of the few Washburn clubs that is directly connected to a national organization. Raising the school morale by setting high standards in scholarship and conduct is the pur- pose of the N.H.S. It stands for the ideals of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Membership in the National Honor Society is one of the finest honors a student can win in high school. Limited to the upper quarter of a class, only the 11A, 12B, and 12A students are eligible for membership. Prospective members are rated by the teaching staff, not only on scholarship, but on all the ideals that the society stands for. Then the students are interviewed by Mr. Fleenor, Mr. Janes, and Miss Montgom- ery, the faculty adviser for the N.H.S. These three faculty members have contributed much of their time and energy to the society and de- serve a vote of gratitude for their interest. Final approval of new members is given by a faculty committee. Then they are inducted. The main social function of the N.H.S. is the winter banquet at which the fall officers relin- quish their titles to the spring cabinet. Last winter the banquet was held at the Curtis Hotel and was a great success. Diane Marquette, fall term president, handed over her gavel to Dave Ratcliff and Jaime Calva was succeeded by Patsy Payton. Nancy Christiansen took over the sec- retary's job from Phyllis Dahl and Bill La- Victoire surrendered his treasurer's duties to John Richardson. Row One: Hultkrans, P.

A1'e you wondering what all that commotion is in room 2157 Don't worry, it's just a meeting of Spanish Club. They meet the third Tuesday of every month, you know. Last fall the officers were as follows: Sara Epstein, Pres., Hazel Holst, V. Pres., Joan For- far, Sec., and Joan Olson, Treas. This spring Hazel Holst ruled over all and was assisted by Bunny Lyson. Marilyn Anderson busily jotted down the minutes while Carol Volander took charge of the dues-when and if paid. SPANISH CLUB QA-GI SPANISH CLUB KH-OI SPANISH CLUB QP-ZI White, Wiegman, Southard. Student participation livened up the meeting this year. Jaime and Rueben Calva gave a talk on their trip to Mexico. It was very interesting, at least for those who could understand Spanish well. Then at the Christmas party, Jaime again took part, this time in a one word dialogue with Carol Volander, called A La Luz de La Luna. Another meeting was accounted for by two movies on Mexico. The last by election of spring ofiicers. FRENCH CLUB CA-Gl How One: Dutcher, Clay, Berwald Campbell, Dwan, Sec., K. Peterson l'res., Barnes, l'.

FRENCH CLUB ENJOYS A SUCCESSFUL YEAR The French Club of Washburn, under the able supervision of Mademoiselle Gear, is one of the most active clubs in school, and has as its mem- bers almost every student who takes French. Aside from the customary business meetings, the club often presents unusual programs. At the Christmas meeting, We entertained West here by a tea. Mademoiselle Mignon was a guest, a play was presented, and several of the mem- bers sang French Christmas carols. In March we had a Mardi Gras party, which turned out to be a lot of fun for all. Our Senior Farewell was held at Rene's in St. Paul, which was truly a treat. The officers of the fall semester were Kacky Peterson, president, Larry Fenton, vice-presi- dent, Virginia Dwan, secretary, and Mary At- wood, treasurer. Phyllis Dahl as president, Katy Coinelison as vice-president, Pat Fawcett as secretary, and Meredith Holmes as treasurer, directed the Club's activities for the spring semester. -18 LATIN AND GERMAN CLUBS OPERATE IN FULL SWING Bill Smith, a '48 Washburn graduate, spoke on his trip through Europe with Bill Nightingale, '47, to set the Latin Club off to a good start for the year. He showed us many souvenirs and made us all wish for a similar experience. The Senior Farewell was another feature meeting of the Latin Club. It was planned by our fall ofiicers: Dianne Marquette, President: Felix Phillips, Vice Presi- dent, Martha Bliss, Secretary, and Sanny Kennon, Treasurer. Instead of our usual Roman banquet, we had a regular meeting with a reading by Mary St. Anthony, singing led by Bev Johnson, and election of spring of- ficers.

Because of constitutional changes, everyone is now participating more fully and success- fully. The outstanding events of the year were a Christ- mas party, a skating party, and our Senior Farewell. We also spent an evening at the home of our adviser, Miss Denison. Several people who have recently re- turned from Germany, including Mrs. Yluisaker, a former Washburn faculty member, have spoken to us of their experiences.

SILVER TRI GROUPS PROMOTE FRIENDSHIP Let's dance V' and everyone did at the Silver Tri dance at the Youth Center before Christmas. The party was a big success, wonderful food, good records , and ping-pong in the basement. No one left until the doors were closed. The fathers attending the Fathers and Daughters Banquet at the Y.W.C.A., were great- ly impressed with a style show given by the members. There was a magician and a few of the girls entertained their audience with their musical talent. Square dancing always goes over big and the Fall Frolic in the Girls' gym was no exception. Mr. Woodruff did the calling honors, and the appetites were enormous when it was time for cider and doughnuts. C At the Christmas meeting the members all brought cans of food Wrapped in Christmas paper and sent them to the Salvation Army. They had a spring formal April 30, 1949, and to wrap up the whole year in a neat package a farewell picnic will be held at Lyman Lodge. Buses will come and pick everyone up and take them home again. The officers for this spring are Jean Dingman, President, Ruth Tuffly, Vice-President, Nan Pearson, Secretary, Anne Hilgren, Treasurer, and Jeanie Frost, I.C.C. Correspondent. Also in- cluded in the cabinet are Barbara Farrington, Susan Kennedy, Barbara Phremer, Joan Meland, Joanie Bonn, Patsy Blake, and Carol Hessing.

Launching this plan were Jeanne Raihle, Pres., Carolyn Lund, Vice-Pres.g Nancy Christianson, Sec., and Janice Lund, Treas. Joan Forfar was l.C.C. Representative. In the first semester the Blue Tri was divided into the following groups: one 12A group, B.T.O., two 12B groupsg B.O.W., and G.A.L.S., and one 11th grade group. These groups met one night a week at someone's home with their leader from the Y.W.C.A. Along with these weekly meetings, a new and old look style show, a recognition service, and a joint senior farewell with U.C. completed the semester's activities. Planning the activities of the second semester were Pat Fawcett, Pres., Etta Dahl, Vice-Pres., Nancy Christiansen, Sec. 3 Mary Haugan, Treas. 3 and Jemima Madsen, l.C.C. A party was given for the new members, a polish the apple tea for the faculty, a dance at the Y.W.C.A., and a senior farewell were some of the big projects of this term. The small groups did a variety of things. B.O.W. had many speakers such as one from a 11th GRADE BLUE TRI my Row Une: Baier, Grathen, Moore, Dostal, Berry, Durham, Johnson, Cobb.

The large 11th grade group had a policewoman for an interesting speaker, a movie, and a joint meeting with S.T.O. H-Y. B.T.O. also hail speakers and movies. A Twin City Y-Teen Conference was held at the Y.W.C.A. and Jemima Madsen, Etta Dahl, Pat Fawcett, and Connie Whitesell attended. Girls from all the high schools came and ex- changed ideas and talked over their problems. The small groups worked out very well. The girls liked them because there were more meet- ings and activities. A cabinet, composed of the officers and small group presidents, worked very closely with the groups. Under the advisorship of Mrs. Keyes and Miss Helen Stowe, from the Y.W.C.A., Y-Teens had a very successful year.

It is an organization for girls in 11A, 12B, and 12A. The girls of U.C. do various serv- ices which include helping charitable groups as well as school projects. The U.C. Cabinet plans the semester project for the club. Besides the usual routine of serv- ices, the club also has membership parties, dances, style shows, and joint affairs with Blue Tri. During the fall semester, while Sara Epstein was President, Diane Johnson, Vice- Presidentg Barbara Stanger, Secretary, and Marlys Elsholtz, Treasurer of the cabinet, the girls devoted much time to ushering at school affairs. The project of the second semester was to paint and redecorate the powder room. The powder room was the Hrst entire undertaking the U.C. Club started when it was organized. The oflicers for the spring semester were Shirley Sieff, President, Mary Atwood, Vice- President, Kathy Callas, Secretary, and Lois Eng, Treasurer. These officers plus several other elected representatives compose the hard work- ing cabinet. Miss Oberg is the faculty advisor of the club. She devotes a great deal of her time towards helping the girls. U.C. should definitely have a place in the activities of all upper class girls. Although the Upper Class girls feature serv- ice, they are also very active in the social life of the school. This year they held many social meetings. The first was the annual membership party held in 105. The girls of the spring cabinet planned to make a complete over-hauling of the girls' pow- der room. They painted Kleenex boxes and spaced them on the wall. They also painted waste baskets to keep the room neater. u. c.

Of course, everybody does, and Quill Club is the place to start. Under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Tyrholm and President Mary St. Anthony, Quill's project last fall was the publication of the Poplars.'l Quill is one of the most active of the school clubs and gives aid to budding geniuses. But it's not all work! Senior farewells, initiations, and other parties make Quill entertaining as well as worthwhile. Have you ever wondered who makes all the posters and decorations around school, and who makes the best booths at school carnivals? If you have, put your mind at ease, it's Chroma Club. Under the supervision of Trowbridge, Chroma Club decorated the Christmas trees on the stage and decked the halls and both gyms with foot steps for the homecoming dance. Remember the Football? As the fate of the nation hangs dangerously in the balance, the Politix Club of Washburn High calmly munches peanut butter sandwiches and ponders the weighty problems of modern civilization. The club meets every Tuesday during the second lunch period under the supervision of Mr. George Halvorsen. Membership is limited to thirty-five students, who are selected by means of a world affairs test. QUILL CLUB Row One: Durham, Falla, Hoel, Vic- tor, Pres., Nosby, V. Pres., Dwan. Treas., St. Anthony.

The club is for careful lovers of the theat1'e as well as casual audiences on both sides of the footlights. It is sworn to the ro osition that a livel Harle uin will brin 'o P P Y Ol ' g J Y to all Washburn as well as to members. Harlequin will not delude itself with thoughts of pro- fessional skill, but neither will it fail to fight for recog- nition as one of the outstanding clubs of the school .... Curtain up on the new Harlequin Club of Washburn. The Science Club has had a highly successful program this year. The club was divided into tive sections: biol- ogy, photography, botany, chemistry, and physics. Meet- 57 ing every other Tuesday, movies, demonstrations, and talks were presented for the members. The divisions also took many Held trips. A high honor was won by one of the club members last fall when Richard Whalen, Fall President, Won a Junior Academy of Science award. Chess Club's activities, which ceased in 1941, were revived in 1947. Under the able leadership of Mr. Lind- stedt, they came out second in the city standings. This year they did even better, taking first in the city. The club carries on a program similar to any of our athletic teams. They have regular and frequent practices and participate in interscholastic meets, BUSINESS GIRLS - Under the leadership of Elsie Van den Bergh in the first semester and Janet Oster in the second, the Com- mercial Club has been very active this year. Programs have included excursions, speakers, demonstrations, movies and other activities which aid the members in preparing for their future jobs. The social side has not been neglected as the first meeting of each term is al- ways a membership party and the last is always a fare- well tea for the graduating commercial seniors. The group usually takes on a project each term in order to help others. They sent a large box of food to a needy family at Thanksgiving, and a similar one at Easter.

So far they have held a city-wide dance at the Seton Guild, helped the Community Chest during its campaign, and have given a party for the children of the Pillsbury Settlement House. Instructors from Murray's Modeling school have talked to the girls about proper grooming, posture, etc. University students from Romance In- corporated have discussed problems on date etiquette. 58 POPLARS STAFF Row One: Mrs. Tyrholm, Melander, Haugen, Asst.

The magazine contained many poems, short stories, and essays in its 32 pages. This was the second edition of the Poplars to be printed at Washburn. The first edition of 'tPoplars was put out exactly one year ago. Washburn's Photography Club, a division of the Science Club, carried on an active program last year. The club darkroom was kept busy every Tuesday after school, and several field trips were taken. One of these trips was to a city camera factory to show the club JUNIOR RED CROSS Row One: Grein, Pettengill, Sec., Dougherty, Olson, Miss Goode, Margilies, Pres., Whitesell, Vice Pres., D.

ORCHESTRA Row One: Gronseth, Mr. Super, Petroff, Maxson. Row Two: Foes, Mantley, Harms, Arnt, Anderson. MUSICIANS MAKE MERRY The Washburn band is the largest of the two instru- mental organizations at Washburn High School in many ways in the past season. In the Spring Sing, the band played a major supporting role to Mr. Bolewine's choral groups. Pleasantly beckoning all Washburnites to the Auditoriums, the band play such well-known numbers as the Military Escort March and the recently popular Sabre Dance. Any football or basketball player will vouch for the fact that Mr. Super's band gives the team that extra pull in a tight pinch which is so important. Washburn's athletic record this past season will support this fact. Last fall, the band lent a great deal of support to the ill-fated school amendment bill by playing at rallies and in parades, lauding the merits of this proposal. ln February, the band played for the Junior Town Meeting of the Air for which Washburn played host. Through the efforts of the Washburn larent-Teachers' Association, and the numerous dances it has staged, the Band this past season has new uniforms. These uniforms are Orange and Blue, with white belts and beplumed helmets. These really add the finishing touch to a fine band. The band has grown this year to the largest since it was put on school time fit was formerly 7:30 a.m.l. The orchestra this year, handicapped by mid-term graduations, has the fewest members in recent history. However, it has many ine instrumentalists, and plays many of the well-known Symphonies, Overtures, Waltzes and some popular pieces. Perhaps the biggest event on the orchestra's calendar this past season was the one day engagement at the Minnesota Terrace in the Nicollet Hotel, where they played for a luncheon given by the Greater Minneapolis Safety Council. Next season Mr. Super expects to build the orchestra up to from 25 to 30 pieces, relying mostly on new sophomores from Ramsey. 60 BALLADS OF THE BELLS The beautiful songsters known as the Girls' Chorus blend their voices every year with other choruses, Boys' Chorus and Mixed Chorus, in the Christmas program and the Spring Sing. These choruses are under the able direction of Mr. James W. Bolewine. This singing group meets in the auditorium, on Tuesday and Thursday of every week, during the sixth period. Some of the first glorious notes, that one might hear Hoating out from the auditorium on a Thursday afternoon, are the oh's and the ah's of the girls reading the gossip columns of the Grist But of course all their time is not spent in this manner. When they do work, they put forth real effort and energy. This effort was shown by their parti- cipation in the Christmas Chorus. The Carol of the Bells and In Bethlehem's Lowly Manger were the selections given by the members of the Girls' Chorus. These songs were supplemented by solos. Beverly John- son sang the solo part from In Bethelehem's Lowly Manger, while Diane Loftsgaarden sang t'Ave Maria GIRLS' CHORUS Row One: Bonn, Neal, Christian- son, van den Bergh, Olafson, Mr. Bolewine, Novotny, Spangler, Fan- drei.

Of course, no chorus would be complete without its accompanists. They have a huge job and they are en- tirely indispensable. Marilyn Abbott and Diane Lofts- gaarden capably fill this job for the Girl's Chorus. To create a diversion and to supplement the dii'ecting of Mr. Bolewine, a student taught them for a few weeks. This gave her work towards her graduation from St. Olaf College, while at the same time gave the chorus a chance to further their technique by learning to follow the directions of different people. Among the songs that they are currently working on are the following: Lover Come Back to Me, Russian Picnic, and Indian Love Call. There are approximately 100 girls in the chorus. According to Mr. Bolewine, the sections are quite even and well-balanced. It seems this year that a majority of the members are from the tenth and eleventh grades. This should make the Girls' Chorus next year even better as few of the members will graduate this year.

MIXED GLEE CLUB COMPLETES A BENEFICIAL YEAR If upon passing the auditorium on Monday, Wednes- day or Friday fifth period a person heard music billow- ing out like the ghostly haunts which echo out of a haunted houseg he was not alarmed for he realized that this was the sound of the Mixed Glee Club practising for a future event. Their director, Mr. James W. Bolewine, has tried to blend the ninety-three voices of the Sopranos, Altos, Tenors, and Bases into one mellow, ringing tone. The Mixed Glee Club participated in many events around the school and city such as the following: the Christmas Chorus, the Spring Concert, the Mass Chorus, and various other auditoriums. All three glee clubs participated in the concert pre- sented in the spring. This program was given twice. When the program was presented to the school, the girls dressed in pastel dresses, and the boys in suits. For the evening program, which was put on for parents and friends, the girls switched to formals. This program was one of the highlights of the Spring semester for all the student body-especially for the Seniors, who parti- cipated in a musical event in Washburn for the last time. 62 The Mass Chorus was the blending together of about one thousand voices from the eleven high schools of the city. They put on a program under the direction of Peter de Tkock, the Superintendent of music in the schools of Minneapolis. The thi'ill of having sung in such an extremely large chorus will live in the hearts of every member of glee club. This Spring the glee club also had a student director. She was Miss Evangeline Gronseth, who came up from St. Olaf College to practice teaching. She remained here for about three weeks and directed the glee club many times. Many songs that the glee club sang were the follow- ing: 'tThy Word Victorious by Sateren, Listen to the Lambs by Delt, Psalm 50 by F. Melius Christianson, HWere You There by Burleigh, and The Italian Street Song by Victor Herbert with Diane Loftsgaarden do- ing the solo. The Mixed Glee Club has completed an active and beneficial year, and they are looking forward to next year. All participating Seniors will indeed miss glee club for it gave them a feeling of blending their voices together to form something delicate and beautiful. stad, Ortley, Nelson. Row Four: Potter, Stockwell, Ellington, Klein Eckmann, Stenson, Booker, Ness A CHRISTMAS SCENE CHRISTMAS AND BOYS' CHORUS TOPS IN ENTERTAINMENT As the curtains drew apart revealing a chorus of 350 students in the dusky light, the twenty-second annual Christmas Chorus began in the traditional Washburn fashion. The soft tones of Silent Night fell upon the hushed crowd. Under the direction of Mr. James Bole- wine the program progressed with such melodies as O Holy Night, HGesu Bambino, and The First Christmas Morn. Such was the performance which climaxed months of practice for all concerned. Each morning at approxi- mately eight o'clock the students would hasten into the auditorium for that brief 'tbefore school practice. The members of the Mixed Glee Club, Male Chorus, and Girls' Glee Club participated in the program with the rfmainder of the mass chorus chosen from the chorus c asses. The program was given for the student body on Wed- nesday, December 15, with the performance for the parents on the following evening, Thursday, December 16. The concert was concluded with the entire group sing- ing the Hallelujah Chorus, a very impressive ending for the 1948 Christmas Chorus. Chugl Chug! Toot! Toot! Off we go! They called him Alexander, Alex-ander, Alex-anderf' Cool water, water, water. Yes, these are just a few of the varieties of music that can be heard emotting from the auditorium every Tuesday and Thursday 5th period, boys' chorus is in session. Songs can be heard to suit everyone's tastes or moods from The Riff Song and Tumbling Tumble- weed to t'Alexander and t'Hey, Robin! Perhaps you heard Bob Janes calling for water. He's not really thirsty but just singing the solo in Cool Water. Other soloists are Gene Booker and Westal Potter. Besides the aforementioned songs, others they sing are: 'tThe Battle Hymn of the Republic, John Peal, 'tLand Sighting, and Mosquitoes, Boys' Chorus has its own place in the Christmas Chorus and the Spring Sing. Last Christmas they sang two numbers, The Shepherd's Christmas Song with Gene Booker singing the solo, and 'tLet Us Now Go Even Unto Bethlehem, Bob Janes singing the solo.

Most of them came from the earlier settlements at Ramsey and Bryant. They left their old homes in search of the adventures they found as they settled their new homesteads at Washburn. When they arrived at these new homesteads, they encountered many other pioneers. Together, these Homesteaders have chosen a President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer to manage the affairs of government. Duties in- clude reading to the Homesteaders the bulletin which is published by the settlement and bringing before the people the problems to be solved. These officers are aided by a Vigilante. A representative is elected to be sent to the council meeting of the settlement, which is also under the supervision of the Vigilantes. A banking system has been set up to help them save their money for the future. The Homesteaders have always been willing to lend a helping hand. They have joined the Red Cross, donated money to worthy causes such as the Community Chest, the March of Dimes, and Jr. Red Cross. They have given Christmas baskets to the needy. The active Homesteaders, after finishing their daily tasks, engage in many sports. Each Homestead has its own girls basketball team, volleyball team, and baseball team. The boys who a1'e interested in sports take part in the settlement games. These settlement teams are in competition with other settlements. Once a year each Homestead gathers together to have its portrait taken. This picture is added to the settlement's year book. .fmlfl I u-gig-1 gf - F ' X I ' 1-,H.i.S'1QQ9-efkf ,,,YIi N 1 X A 1 ' l XX ,f y 7 C wx x xxx X Y f X 'L---H1177 . i f . W Q -fe .

This home room, with Mr. Pulver as adviser, has 21 boys engaged in providing everything from lights on stage to tape recording of the Christ- mas Chorus. More specifically: Evan Day heads the sound section, and Dave Betz is the wheel on the stage, under Mr. Bolewines' direction. Evan and his assistant, Jerry Park, keep the auditor- ium public address working and handle all the recording. Stuart Heald gives Dave a big boost in the Class Play, Class day, and various chorus programs.

As all movies and amplifiers must be set before or after school, Leroy Brown keeps his whip cracking over the heads of the tenth grade preps. The entire program is overseen by Henry Hillman as Program Master. Interested sophomores came down to room 4 at the start of the term. If accepted, they were given a train- ing period and taken from study to work with the rest of the crew. With the acquisition of new professional model tape recorder, the group now makes transcriptions of histor- ical current events and great plays for permanent filing in the Library. At Your Service. A SOCIAL RELATIONS COMMITTEE We of the Social Relations Committee give a hand to any student who needs help in Wash- burn, or who needs a friend. We're a working committee, we function on our own. We're proud to serve under the guidance of our coun- selor, Mr. Dillner, but we're proud also to be able to make our own decisions and direct our affairs. Our big project last year was our orientation program. We sent a special issue of the Grist,' to Ramsey, Bryant, and other junior high schools from which Washburn re- ceives its incoming sophomores. This was to aid the new students in becoming better acquainted with Washburn. We held special auditoriums on two consecutive days for these students. The first was M. C.'d by Jill Lazarus, the second by Pam Fraser. At these meetings we introduced the boys' and girls' counselors, several of the teachers, our Principal, Assistant Principal, and our athletic directors. Also on the program were the presidents of several of Washburn's outstanding clubs. 65 TENTH GRADE HOMESTEADERS RECORD ACTIVITIES Home Room 207 - Olive Rowland is one of the spark- plugs of Mr. Alwin's home room. Besides being the president of 207, she heads the active G. A. A. team. Speedball was one of their most successful sports of the year. Two of the star athletes among the boys are Bob Brown and Dino Psihos of this room. Both of these boys were on the sophomore football team. Louise Moe and Paul VanValkenburg are the regular honor roll students with Gordon Nylen trying every time. Each morning everyone holds his breath until Dick Hurley arrives. He's the boy who usually slides in just before the bell rings. Home Room 219 - The little mouse in 219 thinks that he lives in one of the more active home rooms. First of all, he saw the boys and girls working hard on the Community Chest drive. Then, several weeks later, he heard the boys boasting about their home room basket- ball team, which was led by Tony Lazarus, winning fourth place in consolation. He found that most of the girls were in G.A.A. and Silver Tri, and that most of the boys were in Hi-Y clubs. One morning about seven weeks after school started, the mouse was awakened by groans and screams. Report cards had been handed out. One person named Nancy Gleim was happy though -she made the honor roll. Home Room 313 - Our home room is a room of con- tentment. We pupils are very contented, but Mrs. Cash, at times, seems not too happy about us. I guess we pupils just make too much noise. We have six big wheels in our class. A few are: President, Earl Lindquist, Vice President, Rodney Spotteng Secretary, Joyce Trautt, Treasurer, Lindy CLover boyj Peterson. We have two honor students: Marian Adams and Carol Hessing. Our home room is an average home room, good attendance, support for worthwhile organ- izations, no extra projects and no bankers. It consists of thirty-one pupils and Jan Jacobson. Home Room 322, under the supervision of Mrs. Good- son, hasn't done anything out of the ordinary in the way of regular home room activities. We, however, had an excellent representative group on the sophomore foot- ball squad. They included Jim Undem, Don Norris, Bob Hultman, Earl Fredrickson, Frank Bramhall, Tom Heden, and Bob Larson. With this example of their enthusiasm in football, they should also be outstanding in winter sports. The girls of 322 have been doing quite well in G.A.A. with such good players as Liz Evans, Bev Bangs, and Jean Palmquist. We hope to continue to have such good representation in both boys' and girls' sports in the future. Home Room 324 got off to a good start this year by being well represented with Harold Bakke, Chris Hoy, Bill Schubert, Lee Simso, and Paul Potretzke on the sophomore football team. Kay Larson, our G.A.A. representative, is largely responsible for the good turn- outs for G.A.A. activities, although the re- sults have not been too remarkable. Anne Hillgren and Ruth Tuffly were our most prominent volleyball players this fall. All our attention, however, is not focused on sports alone, as a good showing of re- port card marks can be counted on by Lois Ostrander, Barb Tangeman, and Anne Hillgren, who help to raise our HOME ROOM 207 Row One: Sklamberg, Moe, Rowland, Alwin, John- son, Gillham, Long.

Although with everyone's help in the Community Chest Drive, we reached our goal by donating the largest sophomore contri- bution.

When it comes to goalrushers, Jim Haney, Jim Gorman, Tom Fischer, and Gordan Davis were stars on the sophomore football squad-not to mention that little speedster, Robert Kotein. Not to be outdone, the girls won all of their speedball games, although they didn't do so well in volleyball. We have musicians, too, with Tom Fischer hitting his hot notes on the trumpet, and Marlys Arnt, who has shown her skill with the ac- cordion both on and off stage. To finish things up right, there is the fact that members of our home room belong to G.A.A., Silver Tri, Seaton High, and Science club. Home Room 204-The French room turns into a very intellectual homeroom every morning, under the momentary supervision of Mr. Lee, the teacher. Dur- ing this time such subjects as football, nuclear fishin or possibly a prediction on the coming hunting season, are dis- cussed. The frequent reminders of G.A.A. captain, Sue Kennedy, resulted in a vic- torious speedball tournament which we hope to repeat in volleyball and other future sports. Our brightest hope of the future varsity football team is Dick Grien, our one and only athlete. The girls in our homeroom made a wonderful show- ing during the Silver Tri Christmas card sale, collecting some thirty dollars. Our room runs smoothly except for canine in- trusions which we enjoy. We have no misers in our room, that is no one does any banking. Home Room 109-The girls in 109 have some good volleyball players, such as Vergie Holsl, captain, and Ailorae Mc- Cabe.

Home Room 315-Earl Johnson, our presidentjstarts oft' the morning for us homesteaders in 315 by reading the bul- letin, and then Jill Keagle counts noses. We realized that the Poplars magazine was full to the brim with golden nuggets of enjoyment, so we showed our home room spirit by being the first home room to reach 100W subscription to it. On bank days it's hard telling where Paul Landstrom, our treasurer is. He's usually trying to soft-soap someone into banking his gold dust feven if it's only a nickle's worthj. The girls in our home room are active in G.A.A. Our captains are Ann Hutchins and Ann Stoneman. To tell the truth, We haven't Won one game in volleyball, but our spirit is good, and that's what counts. The larger per cent of the girls in our room is active in Silver Tri, too. The boys play an occa- sional game in basketball, and last year several of our boys were members of the sophomore football team. Home Room 317 is sometimes very dead, at least according to our President, Phil Gronseth. It seems that when he wants to discuss something we are sud- denly void of expression. Of course he still has the other oiiicers to help him. Dick Sherman is our Vice President, Don Ortley is our Secretary, and Jean Creasor is our Treasurer. When there is really nothing to discuss, everyone wants to talk. Foremost among these talkers is Linnea Baker. To make up for her, we have Carol Chesley, and Carol Hoffman, 68 HOME ROOM 317 Row One: Nelson, Treas., Creasor, Pres., Gronseth, Olson, Vice Pres., Sherman, Sec., Ortley.

John Kenyon has no time to enter into our activities. He is always too busy doing his home work for the day. Sports really interest our home room. Two of our boys, Phil Gronseth and Chuck Swanum, made the Varsity football team towards the end of the season. The girls who lead the G.A.A. games are the following: Joan Devoy, the G.A.A. representative, Jean Creasor, and Carol Higley. Home Room 115-In our home room the girls are very active in G.A.A. and most of them participate in all the games. They look forward to the games and win most of them. We also have a repre- sentation of boys who are trying out for the sophomore basketball team and we are sure they will make it. Some of Mary Maranville's literary accomplishments were accepted by Poplars. When Dick Beauchaine, who is a member of our home room, became seriously ill we sent him a subscription to 'tPopular Science. Our Red Cross activities are progressing well and we are enthusiastic about doing everything we can to help this organiza- tion. Clint O'Dell, our student council representative, attends the council meet- ings and does his job faithfully. The spirit of our home room is fine, with each per- son willing to do his bit and all the oflicers performing their duties efficiently. Banking, fund collecting, and meetings are all carried out in a good manner. Many of these things are due to the fine leadership of our home room adviser, Mr. Roder, who is always willing to help us. 69 5- Xi A HTH GRADE CHRONICLE OUTLINES STUDENT INTERESTS Home Room 218-With Mr. Claeson as adviser, we in 218 are guaranteed of a well trained sense of humor. After delivering John Snore's daily overdue slip from the library, Mr. Claeson attempts to take attendance. This is rather diflicult as half of the room has yet to sit in their assigned seats. The noisy section of the room is not, contrary to public opinion, given over to a rootin'- tootin' dyed-in-the-wool western dance-hall, but is oc- cupied by our G.A.A. captain, Joyce Able, her assistant, Charlene Widmer, and Joan Owens, who are all discuss- ing that game they once won. Among our homesteaders in 218 we find lots of talent. For instance, Marlene Knutson sings with the Choralairesg Jean Coles is a marvelous pianist, Warren Jorgenson plays in the band, Richard Wood is in Harlequin, and to top it off, Herb Snider is bait casting champion of Minnesota. Healthy Bob Vanasse has yet to be absent, poor boy! Many of our homesteaders have come a long way to find the golden opportunities of an education: Hazel Holley has come from Oregon, Bill Bentely has come from New York, and Bertha Jarrin has come all the way from Ecuador to stake her claim here at Washburn. Home Room 307-Have you ever heard the expression, In a democracy, peoples' interests range from cooking to auto racing. Almost all of these people must be in home room 307. Interests are as varied as comments on political discussions. Our 'tcelebritiesn are Lothar Klein who won on Stairway to Stardom with his piano piece, Liztls Sixth Rhapsody, and Albert Overline who had a page spread of his pictures in the paper for being an outstanding carrier salesman. Gwen Olson and Barbara Callendar are new-comers to school this year. They hail from California and Illinois, respectively. Our G.A.A. team has an able captain in Marlene Arman, and acquires strong support from Mary Hayes, and Ella Braunstein. Jo Palzer helps the cause along with her natural ability in basketball, and as for the kickball stars, we have Lamona Nash, Gae Rosenberg, and Lucille Ofstedahl. The men have been doing all right in sports, too. Bob Collias caught the two passes that clinched a football victory for Washburn over Central. Charles Bergh made the varsity basketball team, and Jon Wallace is on the swimming team. Other abilities are possessed by Gerald Dick, who has never missed a day at Washburn, Shirley Strand, whose qualities of salesmanship won her the oiiice of Red Cross chairman, and Pat Campbell, who made the finals in the posture contest. Honor roll students are Jerry Harty, Jim Robin- son, and Marion Illa, while Marie Mastrian and Jeannine Abbott keep themselves busy telling jokes. Dave Cole is an active member of Harlequin club, John Stocking is in German club, Joanne Elliott is in Commercial club, and Rose Betty Kauffman is in French club. Home Room 202-The fellows and gals in our home room are very athletic. We have Frank Proctor, John Nyquist, and Ronald Shultz who are on the Varsity foot- ball squad. Beside being a swell football player Ron also plays Hockey and is in the band. Our girls, how- ever, not to be outdone, support G.A.A. 100 per cent and, therefore, took second place in the school Volleyball Championship, losing by only a few points. Our capable captain is Joanne Meagher, who is assisted by that peppy brunet Jackie Smith. Nancy Hahn is our Student Council representative and she is helped by Mary Lou Bathen. Some of our other celebrities UD are: Nancy Abrahams who is on the Grist Staff, Gordon Tucker a member of Harlequin club and Wayne Schimdt, that energetic cheer leader. We also are well represented in the language department with Joanne HOME ROOM 218 Row One: Widmer, Dammann, Treas., Dumas, Vice Pres., Mr. Clae-son, Edlund, Pres., Peterson, Sec.

Home Room 326-We Homesteaders in room 326 are advised by Mr. Hoard. Our officers are Dick Erdalle, President, David Plumme1', Vice President, and Jerry Brightbill, Secretary and Treas- urer. Dick Erdalle staked his claim in both football and hockey. Although he wasn't one of the early pioneers in foot- ball he gained experience for next year's team. David Plummer lost his chance to make the team when he was injured in a jeep accident last May.

The team itself is about average, having won a few games and forfeited a few. With Betty Widergren and Cookie Grill our activities are never dull. Judy King, Carole Jepson and David Plummer add to the atmosphere when they show up. On the whole, I believe we have one of the best home rooms in the school. QYou can stop twisting my arm now, Mr. Hoard.j Home Room 215-If you want home room activity just come to 215. We don't have any bankers, we don't have a win- ning G.A.A. team, but we have Judy Dur- ham, need we say more? Lynn Ormes and Nancy Ware have so much to talk over. Wonder who he is? There are some people who never say anything, but Lowell Howard makes up for them. Vir- ginia Grathen goes almost crazy. Why? She sits between Roger Haaheim and John Gilbertson. We have our athletes, too. John Peterson is on the swimming team, Pete Eisele and Bill Lifson are on the football squad, and Charlie Olson is on the hockey team. Catherine Peterson does a grand job of checking on G.A.A. mem- bers. Bill Lifson is President of our home room, Vice President is Gail Lathrop, Secretary, Lois Milton, and Treasurer, George Vogt. Mary Jo Blake is on the Student Council, and Marlys Holmberg is our Junior Red Cross representative. Home Room 308 is well represented on the school honor roll, five people having a B+ average. Mary Barnes led the group with 3 A's and 1 B. Keith Flemming, Suzanne Lund, Betty Stensgurd, and Bar- bara Anderson make up the rest of the 71 HOME ROOM 215 Row One: Sec.

Margie Book- walter is 308ls capable Red Cross chair- man. Home Room 301-It is Monday, and as every morning at 8245, the stampede to home room 301 begins. Of course Jim Bertelson and Bruce Lindvall lead the dash, and it seems since they tried out for the football squad they know all the tricks of beating the bell. Once inside, we are quickly settled with very few casual- ties to hear our President Joe Frazer read the bulletin. A grave hush falls upon us as Bonnie Roberts, Joan Dahl, Beverly Lyson, Jade Hong and Kasha Stevens, some of our honor students, breathlessly await the announcements of the 7th hour assignments-Safe! Tune in tomorrow. Tuesday belongs to our bankers and at this rate Shirley Latin, Todd Olson, and Louella McCrady will be future multi- millionaires. Anyway, we knew them when-. Betsey Clapp as G.A.A. captain, with Kasha Stevens as her able assistant, puts in her word on Wednesday when she gleefully gathers girls to make 301 a winning team. This seems a good time to mention Lola Hazelton, our Red Cross representative who always manages on Thursday to find some way to take our money from us. Our Treasurer, Tom Marr, enjoys his job too, it seems every- one likes to collect money!

And so ends another week in 301! Home Room 302 started its year the same as it has in the years in the past with the election of home room officers. We have several boys in our room that are very sports-minded. Jack Swift is on the Varsity basketball team, and Pete Oberhauser lettered in golf. Roger Le- mieux and Bill Chase played Varsity foot- ball and hope to play again next year. Mary Hammond is G.A.A. captain and is expected to lead the girls to a great sea- son in all the different activities in the girls' gym. Teddy Conant has the habit of coming to school about ten minutes of eight and playing the radio until Mrs. Savage has him turn it off. Our home room took up a collection for John Moline who had polio during the summer and was still in the hospital when school started last fall. Also let us not forget Savage, who has to put up with our talk- ing in our room all year, and has done it graciously Without too many green slips. Home Room 205-Our room may not be the most noted in the school, but we're pretty proud of it. For one thing, our Treasurer and Secretary have been more active than usual. We started the ball rolling in a collection from the eleventh grade students for a radio which we gave to John Moline, who contracted polio earlier in the year. This was a big job for the Treasurer and also for the Secre' U11'3', who helped keep the records straight. Along with this project, of course, are the regular contributions to the. Red Cross and Community Chest, which We nobly participated in. 73 Gi-1QA.1Li F3 c, When gold was first discovered in California in 1849, life was not as easy as we see it today. Men toiled long hours in quest of one goal, the most precious thing to them, gold! It was all work and no play. Why, to them play was something for a five-year old. Even boys as young as ten or twelve had to go out and help their elders strike it rich. In some of the more peaceful mining towns, the only form of sports was when the men gathered on Sunday afternoons for contests of strength. They would see who could lift the most weight, or throw the farthest, or use other of their skills to see who was the best man. Sometimes there would be wrestling matches which usually ended in a free-for-all. In some of the wilder towns, the only excitement the men had was brawls in saloons and taverns. All fights were not always harmless fun. Many men died from wild gunplay. As the years went by, most of the gold had been discovered and machines were replacing the men in the mines. The nation as a whole was becoming more mechanized, which in turn gave men more leisure time. Both amateur and professional sports came into the picture. Baseball was considered the biggest national pastime and probably still is. Lately, basketball, football, and hockey have been attracting many and are bound to be greater. In schools and colleges all over the country, these sports and many others play an important part in school life. Track, swimming, wrestling, tennis, skiing, and gymnastics have recently become popular all over the country. Even though life is much easier today, men will always have the fight and spirit and the heart to win. Above all, man will always work toward one goal, good sportsmanship. 0 , r D--l ez, ff. fm -mai X r . . - -, , L4 ,.,L,.,-T jr -1 an Q J ' ' v E I Q ff' s f i ei-ww, . , - ' C' V X ,-i Y' 5 ffl gzxgff, A sf' 3 ' G' R. ? . .-s1+fi- I Lil, ' X' ff A f l'. .. -A 1 SP9 1 . -Yl- k, if-aim .N,,x, ,H ll I :lain , .f.',.x ,I ,' , 1, Y' N Q 5 fiL!'gS,.f,X 'Ss.sE',f y .. - X ,4 fl zz.

WASHBURN GRIDDERS HAVE FAIR SEASON VVashburn's football team had a moderately successful 1948 season. With only five returning lettermen from the '47 season, coaches Ray Smith and Russ Helleckson had a squad that had its ups and downs all season. The loss of Westal Potter and Bob Werness through injuries during the fall hurt the team quite a bit and the season ended with the Millers in sixth place in the city league with a record of three wins, two losses, and two ties. Competition opened with a non-league tilt down at Austin, Minnesota. Don Levine and Bob Werness led the Miller attack, but the Packers triumphed by a 12-U score on a rain-soaked field. The Washburn rooters were happy, however, because it was a moral victory over the mythical state champions of the year before. The following Friday found the Millers facing a determined Southwest team, which wouldn't be beaten. Harold Strobel scored Washburn's only touchdown although Don Levine tallied on a long run which was called back. While fighting hard in the fourth quarter the Orange could do no better than a 6-6 draw with the Indians, who were ranked as one of the weakest teams in the league. In their next game, Washburn met Marshall High under the lights at Nicol- let Park. Don Levine galloped for the gridders' only touchdown in a contest which was marked by numerous pass in- terceptions. The Cardinals managed to hold the Millers in check all night and THE HIGH COMMAND the game ended with the score 20-6 in favor of the Cards. Then came Central. In a closely con- tested game, the Millers bounced into the victory column on the long end of a 20-13 score. Bob Collias caught two touchdown passes, from Jim Moe and Harold Strobel, and the third tally was scored through the combined efforts of Bill Luther and Bob Werness. Traveling to North High the following week, Washburn came up with a tight de- fense to stop what was considered one of the best offenses in the conference. Stellar line play featured the tilt, which ended in a scoreless tie. All City Guard Bill Marton, Ron Perry, and Cully Carl- son led the forwards, as Clark Greeley and Harold Strobel were outstanding in the backfield. 76 Homecoming found an underdog Voca- tional team traveling to MacQuarrie Held. Sporting a good defense, the Orange and Blue gridders lived up to the expectations and handed the Volts a decisive 13-0 loss. Clark Greeley sparked the Miller offense, tallying one touchdown on a pass inter- ception. South High journeyed to Washburn the next week, and Gary Johnson and com- pany handed the gridders a stunning 20-0 defeat. The Millers were completely dominated by the Tigers as Johnson romped over the goal line in every quarter but the third. The services of Werness and Potter were sorely missed in this game. Determined to end the season in vic- tory, an injury-riddled Washburn squad spoiled West's homecoming by defeating a hard-fighting' Cowboy aggregation 7-6. Don Levine went around end through the rain for the Miller's touchdown and he converted the extra point which proved to be the winning margin. A great de- fensive line, led by Bill Marton, Earl Wettstein, Don Stenquist and Dick Al- bright, staved off a desperate fourth quarter attempt by the Cowboys to enable the Orange and Blue to win. There are five lettermen returning for next fall's season. Frank Proctor, Tom Dunton, Bob Collias, Gene Booker, and Pete Eisele will be back for Ray Smith's 1949 football team.

MILLER CAGERS COP CITY CROWN The Washburn cagers completed a very successful season, copping a slice of the three way city championship tie on a 7 won and 1 loss record. Marshall being the team to administer the Rossmen their only league defeat. Washburn wound up with the best overall won and lost record in the city, winning 12 out of 16 games. They got off to a slow start by losing their first three games, including their first league game to Marshall, but then they got hold of themselves to Win the next twelve games before finally bowing out to Minneapolis Central in the district 17 finals. It was felt that the Washburn squad would fold up after midyear graduation which claimed lettermen Bob VVerness, Chuck Adamson, Mark Hurd, and co-captain Bill Marton, but the reserves came through in grand style to pace Washburn on to the city title. Absent from the Miller lineup next year will be co-captain Lloyd Thorgaard, who was the league's third brightest scorer, winding up the regular season with 138 points for a 17.3 average. The squad will miss Lloyd, who is as good a basketball player as Washburn has had and well deserves his position on the all-city squad. Also graduating this June are Jim Hastings, who got honorable mention in , the city and was one of the team's hard- Ross Peps Em Up est workers, Bill Luther, who also got honorable mention for his excellent play throughout the season, Ted Vickerman, who did a good job of filling in the guard position after the mid-year graduation, Don Ciardellig Don Levine, and Frank Willman. Mr. Ross feels that this is one of the finest squads he ever worked With. They were not only outstanding basket- ball players but good students and a swell bunch of fellows to boot. Scholastically the team average was B which is excep- tionally good as compared with many other teams. The first game of the season found the Millers on the short end of a 48 to 42 decision to Marshall. The Rossmen came back, after a poor first half, to outscore the Cardinals in the second half but their rally fell short by 6 points. The second game found the Millers getting hold of themselves to administer a 45 to 39 de- feat to South in a close game. Edison was the next to fall victim to the Orange and Blue by the lopsided score of 43 to 29. Washburn then went on to cop a thriller from West by the score of 43 to 39. Voca- 82 .

BOYS' W CLUB Washburn's W Club is comprised of students who have won an athletic letter or letters, team managers, and boys serving the school for three years who have earned a service letter. A W means more than just an orange and blue emblem sewed on a sweater. Long hours of sweat and toil go into the earning of a letter and sometimes even injuries are sustained on the playing field. The award for being proficient in school athletics is the privilege of wearing an orange and blue W on a letter-sweater. The sweater also carries an emblem showing the sport or sports that the owner has won a letter in, and stripes indicating the number of years he has earned a letter. Of course, the athletic program of Washburn could not go on without the coaches of the various sports. We owe them a vote of thanks for taking their time to pro- vide sports for the school. The coaches are as follows: Ray Smith, football: Ray Ross, basketball and baseball, Vilhelm Larsen, track and skiing, Carl Carlson, hockey, Harry Pulver, swim- mingg Russ Helleckson, wrestling, Fred Curtis, tennis: Lloyd Alwin, golf. Row One: Lueck, Petroff, Allen, Levine, Thorgaard, Rupp, Stenquist, Eisele, Proctor. Row Two: Anderson, Denike, Gedney, Ciardelli, Carlson, Albright, Marton, Perry, Clemants.

WASHBURN STICKERS TAKE STATE CONSOLATION TITLE Coach Carl Carlson must have had the right idea when he put the team out on the gym fioor practicing their strategy and stickwork, long before the season started. That may well have been the extra push they needed to take the city title. All in all, it was a pretty fair season. Full of pep and raring to go, the puck men met South in the season's opener. Coach Carlson called this one of the season's most thrilling games, but the scoreboard called it a three to two win for South. The team then got to work and came thru the next four games with easy victories. The final game was a tie with Central, and Washburn finished in a playoff position. They breezed by South and Central in the playoffs to clinch the city title. St. Paul Murray won the Twin City Title, but W'ashburn was looking toward the state title. In the first round thriller of the state tournament, Williams defeated Washburn 2 to 0. Despite the score, it was a plenty close game, with Williams finding VVashburn one of its toughest opponents. Only the State Championship Williams' team could have beat Wash- burn in that game. To prove this, the ice men came back to beat St. Louis Park and Minneapolis Central, walking off with fifth place and the consolation champion- ship. Take a look at the players now. Tops on any list could be Jerry Dousette, team captain and all-city man. Another good man, was 'tButch Anderson, center, who was mentioned a possibility for the all-state team. Bud Meadley did a better than average job as goalie during the season. Others who saw considerable action were Harold Strobel, Bruce Lind- vall, Dick Mattson, and Alan Peterson. Top credit, though, goes to Coach Carl- son, who did a fine job in his iirst year at Washburn.

SWIMMING TEAM FINISHES SECOND Dropping only two meets in city competition, the Orange tankers finished second in the league. Losing to North and Marshall the team finished a very successful season. The team will have a running start on next season, as they lose only five men. Those graduating are: Captain Don Denike, Miles Nelson, John Allen, Joe Murphy, and Sherman Anderson. The Swimmers who were outstanding in each event are as follows: 40-yard dash, Jon Wallace, Arlen Wolpert, Peter Von Escheng breast stroke, Don Denike, Miles Nelson, Sherman Andersong 220-yard free style, John Peterson, Jerry Gale, Alan Petersong back stroke, Joe Murphy, John Allen, 100-yard free style, Don Johnson, Gerry Gale, div- ing, Tom Blessing, Bill Lichliter. Washburn's Medley Relay team, consisting of Allen, Danike, and Gale, hold the city record for 1949. Washburn's outlook is rather pleasant for next season, with so many returning lettermen. There are also many promising tenth graders. Much credit has to be given to Manager Don Mittendorf, and Coach Harry Pul- ver for their work with the team. These two gave much of their time traveling to the University, and to Bryant Junior High three times a week. Washburn gives JUST LIKE A FISH thanks to these two for their work.

The boys beat South High twice, but were beaten twice by West. The Millers beat both Central and Southwest, but they both came back two weeks after the defeat to lick the Rossmen. The Washburn team started at the bottom, last year, and had to work up after West's Gebhardt set them down 7 to 3. Washburn's second game was a close victory 16 to 55 over South. The winning pitcher in that game was Crichton. Central crumbled before Tommy Briggs! excellent pitching with a score of 7 to 4. The first game with Southwest resulted in the best victory that Washburn had all season. The boys went wild to lick the Southwest boys 11 to 2. Many congratulations go to Crichton and Barclay for pitching this victory. On the second West game, we lost again 3 to 0. Our boys just couldn't seem to hit Gebhardt's pitches. The game was enlightened considerably by a catch up against the right Held fence, by Chuckie Adamson. Tommy Briggs pitched a one-hit game against South for a 4 to 1 victory. That was the second time we beat them. They couldn't seem to do a thing with pitchers Crichton and Briggs on the Orange side. The last games were quite a disappointment. Central, whom we had beaten 7 to 4 before, came back vowing vengeance, and beat us 5 to 1. Two days later, we met Southwest at Pershing Field, and they turned back our 11 to 2 victory by defeating us 2 to 1. The best batting averages were held by Dousette 14285, Stark 14235, Ostrem 13755, Crichton 13425, Lind- vahl 13335, and Groseth 13085. Home runs were made by Dousette, Barclay, and Lindvahl. Doubles were made by Briggs, Collias, Crichton, Dousette, Groseth, and Stark. Willis Ostrem made two. Triples were made by Barclay, Crichton, Dousette, Ostrem, Perry, and Rupp. Ted Stark made two triples. The boys in the pitcher's box did pretty well, too. Tommy Briggs struck out 51 men in six games for the pitcher's record, Gordy Crichton struck out 25 men in 5 games. Earl Barclay struck out three men in one game. There were twelve lettermen on the Miller team this year. Six juniors, four seniors, and two sophomores re- ceived letters this year. A special manager's letter went to Jim Gedney for doing such a good job as team man- ager. Washburn .... West .. Washburn South .... Washburn Central .. Washburn Southwest Washburn .... West .... Washburn South .... Washburn Central .. Washburn .... Southwest GOLF Coached by Mr. Alwin, and captained by Bob Stotts the Miller linksmen finish- ed a very successful 1948 season. Losing only to Southwest, 612-512, Al- winls athletes ended in second place when the season ended. Practising at their home course, Meadowbrook, the golfers, composed of returning lettermen Al Schedin, Roy Ol- son, and Chuck Hopkins, got in shape for a hard fought, but successful season. Golfers who were graduated are as follows: Al Schedin, Chuck Hopkins, Bob Stotts, Bob Werness, and Roy Olson. Veterans, whose presence will brighten the 1949 season are: Ted Vickerman, Fritz Rohkohl, and Peter Oberhauser. Washburn gives its thanks to Mr. Lloyd Alwin for exceptionally fine work with the team. SKIING Schedin, Vickerman, Hopkins, Olson, Stotts, Oberhauser, Mr. Alwin Hindered by poor skiing conditions dur- ing the first part of their season, the Washburn ski team took fourth place in the City Meet and went on to take fifth place in the State Meet. Later, they showed considerable improvement and placed third in the Breck Invitational Meet. Lettermen John Sarles and Paul Nass placed high in all these meets. John was entered in the slalom event, while Paul participated in both cross-country and slalom events. This year there were no other senior lettermen in both these and the jumping events. In the City Meet, Paul took third place in cross- country and placed second in the same event at the Breck Invitational. John took sixth place in the Breck Meet and last year placed high in both City and State Meets. The biggest promise for next year is Don Strom in the jumping division. Also all the city high schools are going to be promoting skiing in a big way next season. Many of the boys on the team this year will be back again next year and have hopes for a championship tealn.

Lunder- berg placed first in the high and second in the broad jumps. Ostrem took a first in the half mile. C'MON, DAVE 92 GET SET - - - The '49 season looks fairly bright. Al- though there are only three returning lettermen, Lindquist, Petroff, and Thor- gaard, the team is reinforced by four cross-country lettermen, Ciardelli, Leuck, Rogneby and Staneck. Also there are a host of improved runners from last yearls squad. The '49 season's co-captains are Lind- quist and Thorgaard. CURTIS' RACQUETE The Washburn Tennis team had a pretty good season in 1948. They got off to a rather good start by winning the first three games that they played, but after that, unfortunately, they came up against some pretty stiff competition. The team ended up with second place in the city in spite of the hard luck that came later on in the season. Coach Fred Curtis sent Eddie Siegel and Bruce Bixon to the Carleton meet, fthey played singlesj. Pete Ran- dall and Budd Meadley played doubles at that same ERS COME IN SECOND meet. Bruce Bixon was the high point man of the team during the '48 season. He won more matches than any man on the team. The best victory that the team had was when they licked Central. The most crushing defeat came when Central beat them in the city playoffs. According to Budd Meadley, who succeeded Pete Rand- all as captain of the team, Washburn should do well this season. There are two returning lettermen this year, Felix Phillips and Budd Meadley. ' TENNIS SQUAD Row One: Cole, Buchman, Phillips, Meloche. Row Two: Carlson, Schedin, Meadley, Holton, Wolpert.

INTRAMURAL PROGRAM KEEPS GIRLS BUSY The Girls' Athletic Association is the organization in Washburn, to which any girl in any grade may belong. It is run on a democratic basis. The girls in each home room elect a girl to be their captain. The captains and girls participate in various sports in order to earn points toward a letter. Team sports in which points may be earned are: speedball, volleyball, basketball, diamond ball, tennis, deck tennis and bad- minton. Points may be earned outside of school in swim- ming, skating, golf and horseback riding. Bowling and skiing are two new sports that have been added to the long list this year. There are supervised tournaments throughout the year in these sports. These tournaments are held either before or after school. No girl may earn more than 50 points in one sport in one semester. Requirements for a W are: a girl must earn 600 points in the different activities, she must have a C average, recommendations from her teachers, and she must not have had seventh hour more than three times. If a girl is very ambitious she may work harder and earn 1000 points. By doing this she becomes a City-wide Emblem wearer. At the beginning of each new semester, the G.A.A. organization has a big membership party. There are refreshments, entertainment and always new girls to meet and make friends with. The purpose of the Girls' Athletic Association is to foster good sportsmanship and to promote interest in girls' athletics at Washburn High School, to award let- ters to those girls, who have successfully followed the rules for VV winners, and to award City-wide Emblems to girls who have complied with the rules set down for them.
