i Striking out through the western wilderness in quest of gold and ad- venture, the prospectors were the first ofthe 49'ers. 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.

HONOR STUDENTS The fact that the class of January, 1949, is a small one seems to have little effect on the number of 'tbrains in it. 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.
