HONOR STUDENTS VVashburn is very proud of its Yale- dictorians and Salutatorian. Phyllis Dahl and Katherine Peterson had identical Academic programs of Eng- lish, two years each of French and Latin, geometry, biology and chem- istry, American history and modern problems. 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. Joanne received one B in advanced algebra-all her other grades were A's. The pleasant thing about Phyllis, Elaine, Katherine and Joanne is that they were wonderful people as well as good students. 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. He1'e, these industrious souls carry on the business of the class- planning the budget, designating com- mittees, and making the many detailed arrangements for class affairs. Bob Rueff, president of the class, had adequate training for his job. He held the same office in 9A at Ramsey and again in 12A in one senior home room. Bob was also kept busy by being captain of the Wrestling squad, sports editor of the 'tGrist, and a member of Student Council, Boys' Glee Club, and Hi-Y. Mary St. Anthony, vice president, may have developed her executive abil- ity from being president of both Latin Club and Quill Club. She was also active in Harlequin Club and Student Council. Take a letter please, is a phrase which may be directed to Kathy Callas in the future, is familiar to the sec- retary of the senior class. She also took notes for her 12B home room, Student Council and U.C. The collection of class dues was done under the direction of Earl Clements, a member of Hi-Y, and Grist Staff. Earl was also a letter winner in football.

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.
