When this school year comes to a close, twenty-five years will have come and gone since the doors of Washburn opened. It was September 7, 1925, when about one thousand students in seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth grades came Hocking in from surrounding schools to be the first Washburnitcs. However, there were no clubs, teams or traditions then to catch the imagination of the students. Great credit must be given to those early students and faculty members for laying a strong groundwork for the many activities and traditions which now await the entering student. During the first two years, intramural games were developed for both boys and girls. Interschool athletics started in 1927. The first semblance of a school paper was developed in an English class. Soon it took form, and by vote of the school the name Grist was chosen. Likewise, orange and blue were selected as school colors. Since the school had been named for Cadwallader Washburn, founder of one of the city's great flour mills, the name Millers was soon applied to the athletic teams. As the first graduating class became seniors, the yearbook began to take form. Another contest, and the term 'tWa-Hi-Any' was coined. The National Honor Society was formed in 1927 when charter number 658 was granted. Forty-nine seniors received the first diplomas in January, 1928, and were presented by the principal, A. E. MacQuarrie. The school grew rapidly and reached an enrollment of 2,400 before the Ramsey Junior High was opened in February, 1932. At that time about half of the students and faculty trekked over the big hill to Ramsey. But soon the big hill was removed, and an athletic field was provided. Eventually it was named MacQuarrie Field at the re- quest of the alumni. Through the years, 10,157 students have received Washburn diplomas, and many have gone on to great success. My most valued collection of books consists of the twenty-three volumes of the Wahian, containing pictures of all these graduates and a record of their school activities. I am anxiously awaiting the 1950 edition. And may I say, after looking back through these events, it has been a grand twenty-five years. L. A. FLEENOR 6 1 WE MUST BE CRUEL ONLY T0 BE KIND Mr. .lanes Regulating the size of classes, making out of students' programs, negotiating in student-teacher relationships-these are only a few of the duties of the assistant principal, Mr. Frank Janes. He also finds time in his busy day, however, to advise the National Honor Society, see that the building and equipment are cared for, and take charge of all student discipline. Jobs for Miss Mabel Christensen, girls' coun- selor, are many. Her time is spent counseling with Miss Christensen the girls on colleges and vocational training, plan- ning programs, serving on numerous committees, and helping to think up subjects for those composi- tion tests that all Washburnites love. Boys' counselor, Mr. Mervin Dillner, not only discusses academic problems with the students, but he also helps them plan their vocational or college careers. Merv also makes program adjustments and is faculty manager of the athletic program at Washburn. Mr. Dillner i 7 LLOYD E. ALWIN VVOrld History Geometry Cheerleading Golf JAMES W.

There goes the bell. '-2-N11 The preceding preview was the typical first period of our four hard-working senior class ofiicers who were elected in February. They are: President-Gene Booker, Vice President-John Wright, Secretary-Amy Seevers, and Treas- urer-Jim Robinson. Each day these four met in Room 316 to discuss UD class problems, choose 12A committees, and help plan the vari- ous class activities. Mr. Sunde, senior advisor, has described the 1950 class as follows: This senior class is second to none - and the class officers are the kind of leaders one would expect of such an outstanding class. Row One: Seevers, 3253 Balch, 312, Kennon, 314, Lysen, 314. Row Two: Robinson, 325, Ober- hauser, 314. Row Three: Eisele, 3123 Dunton, 312, Wright, 325: Lifson, 3143 Pollard, 325, Booker, 312. THERE'S HONOUR FOR YOU Washburn's class of 1950 boasts not one--not two -but three valedictorians! These happy three are Nance Abrahams, Sanny Kennon, and Gwen Olson, who have all managed, somehow, through their three years of work and fun at good old W.H.S. to main- tain the much-desired straight A average. The gals have succeeded in doing what a good per- centage of our total class of 430 persons only dream about. They seem to find time for sports, clubs, and all sorts of other extra-curricular activities, besides bringing home the marks. How it's done will prob- ably forever remain a mystery to the rest of us. Nance Abrahams could usually be seen running in and out of the Grist room sixth period, busily per- forming her job as second page editor. Always cap- able and dependable, Nance even found extra time to chat amiably with the poor, hard-working Wahian staff. She has always been an asset to any organ- ization to which she belongs. Sanny's happy smile finds a place in just about every organization at Washburn. She presides over Latin Club, takes notes for student council, was fall president of G.A.A. Board, and generally known as one of the sch0ol's best sports participants. S'Won- derful, if you can do it! Gwen Olson finds life pretty wonderful-that is, since she found out she didn't have a term theme to write. Gwen is busy enough as program chairman of Tri Phi, active member of Blue Tri, and Latin Club. The University doesn't know what it lost when Gwen decided to go to Carleton, but this fun-loving gal will probably have as wonderful a time there as she has had here in the past three years. It seems all good things come in three's this year -we have exactly that number of salutatorians, also. Right behind the others come Kasha Stevens, Art McGuire, and Barbara J. Anderson-salutator- ians. Kasha presided over French Club and was Poobah for Latin Club. Short little Art held re- sponsible positions in the sound-crew and stage- crew besides being business manager of the Grist. It was said about Barb that she owned the most pairs and the most unusual types of eye-glasses. Barb was a member of French Club and Latin Club.

Washburn's annual homecoming was carried on this year amid much splendor and glory on Octo- ber 21. Six boys and six girls vied for honors as king and queen. Before the election, these candi- dates were presented to the school on the stage. The nnal king and queen were Bill Chase and Babette Harrington. Queen Babs, wearing a light green velvet formal, was crowned by Betsy Balch, and received flowers from Bunny Lysen. King Bill's two attendants were Jack Swift and Dick Carlson. The Washburn Millers played the Marshall Cardinals on MacQuarrie Field. Previous to this game, Washburn had lost every game. The team, determined to carry out the theme Shuffle the Cards, finished with a 6-6 tie. A dance was held in both gyms the same night, with music supplied by Dick Erickson's orchestra. All in all, homecoming was a great success. King Chase and Queen Bobs. ROYAL AND GRAClOUS. 32 THE FAIREST QUEEN THAT EVER KING RECEIVED. . , .

It's the last day of school! lt's a fire! It's a marathon race! No, it's only a group of Washburnites racing down to the lunchroom for a snack. After three or four hours of hard HJ work, the Longuawaited lunch half-hour is anxiously welcomed y a . Some tables really do get a little too rowdy. Remem- ber the time everyone was squirted with water by Marg Norton and her spoon? Then Barb Callender tried it, and shot herself right in the face! One table, after many reprimands from Miss Perry, decided to display their perfect manners at lunch. They certainly were surprised when Miss Perry gave them each a dixie cup for their trouble. Mr. Ray Smith has his troubles, too. Remember the time Paul Holton threw a piece of cherry pie into the air and just missed Wayne Harmon? Each noon there is a Bottle-balancing contestg Ray buys a cheerio for the one who can build the tallest pyramid. All in all, lunch time is a happy time. That is, for all except the counselors. Hey!

Will Shakespeare is teaching them about all the different kinds of people there are in the world and in journalism they learn about the great community institution that is the news- paper. American history tells them how their forefathers built and believed in our govern- ment. School, in its lighter moments provides fun, too. In home rooms, Juniors get a chance to practice democracy by electing otlicers and by conducting business meetings. Clubs of all sorts furnish places for having a good time and for fat!

M. xfm., SOPHOMORES LEARN TO LOVE WASHBURN The sophomore class really adjusted itself quickly to the ways of Washburn. Shortly after their arrival they discovered the friendly wiles of the upper-classmen-clever little tricks such as selling elevator tickets to the fourth floor. The ten-beezersj' however, forgave and forgot. Next the sophomores began to get interested in their classes. Study hall was a new experi- ence gladly received by them. Most tenth graders tackled biology and geometry-for a while they were slightly confused-the square of the hypotenuse of two left angles equals the bicuspid of the coradata hymenoptera-no, that can't be right. Mr. Roder, Mr. Helleckson, and Miss Minty are still trying, though, to straight- en some of these ideas so wrongly assimilated. Other interests were also developed. Football and basketball games attracted these neophytes 'fm HOME ROOM 201 Row One: Holtan, Dybevick, Sec., Ganschaw V. Pres., Mr. Reque, Carlson, Pres., Olsen Lamphear.

And although they joke a lot about school, they really enjoy it and get a lot out of it, too. Schoolwork, clubs, athletics, all these things make our school what it is, and we're proud of it.

Extend this picture into the gutterll' Each day beginning at two o'clock, these expressions Hoat out from room 218. That is the period the world-faned Wahian staff meets and puts together the pictures and copy that make up this finc edition. Sanny Kennon and Bill Dammann, co-editors, try to bring some order to the noise and confusion, but it usually doesn't work too well. Tom Marr, Martha Nyvall, Tom Near, Mary Lenmark, Nancy Hammond, and Marilyn Ozmon create a lot of pandomoniuni by just writing copy. Gwen Olson, editor of the homeroom section, adds her bit by reiterating her promise to turn in her homeroom copy Htomorrow. The noise stops suddenly when Mr. Louis Claeson, the Wahian adviser, steps over the threshold. Then Gerry Olafson quickly runs up to the typing room to do the typing that has been waiting in the filing cabinet all week. The dummy is pulled out, and Sheila Wahl and Margie Swartout begin to try to lit all the year's events into the six-page memory section. Audrey Swedberg and Joanne Elliott leave their homework and quickly start to mount pictures. fIt's amazing what happens when Louie steps inlj The art staff brushes thc dust from the pencils and begins to draw. Babs Harrington, the art editor, and Gae Rosenberg and Louella McCrady, her two able assistants, have been meaning to draw these pictures for a long time, but they just couldn't seem to get around to it.

GRIST STAFF With feet in air and hands on chair, Jack Pollard announces, UGather ye 'round, harem, we gotta have a staff meeting. Hearing no response, he assumes an upright position and sees Nance Abrahams and Connie Whitesell playing desk ball, while Nancy Hahn and Judy King are playing dominoes with the linoleum blocks. But don't get the wrong impression. The editors are heavily bur- dened and really accomplish their share of work in that two-by-four cubicle known as the Grist room. Although editor-in-chief, Jack Pol- lard, spends most of his time trying to impress all of the girl editors with his importance, he sometimes finds a moment to car1'y out the duties of sports page editor. Though Betsy Balch and Nance Abra- hams spend most of their time nagging Jack, they too take a recess to polish off first, third, and second page, respectively. Judy King, first page assistant, does her best to see that the reporters don't turn in their stories more than two days after the deadline. Third page assistant, Connie Whitesell's main job is trying to clear off her desk fxvhich she hasnlt succeeded in doing since Septemberj. Then there's John Nyquist, inimitable sports page assist- ant, who is known for his alliterated headlines. Of course, we can't forget Jim Wilson, who took over the second page assistant spot after Steve Tart departed for the South. Mr. Carlson, fondly dubbed Carl-ee by his beloved staff, fulfills his job as adviser by censoring articles and handing out one way tickets to St. Peter. The colorful cuts that appear in each issue of the Grist are the handiwork of Nancy Hahn, art editor. The paper would never get to you students if the whole job were left to this berserk staff, so give your thanks for receiving the best high school paper on Fiftieth Street to the business staff, which con- sists of Art McGuire and Janice Hirsch. 5l Row One: Park, Robinson, Pres., Nyquist, V.

The forty members elected Jim Robinson president and started planning a talent program. The tryout committee selected eight acts for the show, publicity was attended to, and the planning committee together with Mr. Krause di- rected an excellent program featuring Washburn's own talent. N. H. S.'s plan was to present an evening talent show at midyear and another auditorium in the spring. Football concessions last fall, netted the Society 123 dollars which it donated to the needy home economics department to re-decorate the dining room. The Society's new adviser, assistant principal Frank Janes, succeeded Miss Ethyl Montgomery who retired from teaching in June, '49, Miss Montgomery had been the National Honor Society's adviser since 1945. Not only must prospective National Honor Society members hold a B average, but they must also be judged by the faculty on their service to the school, leadership, ability, and personality. Since no one is made a permanent member of N. H. S. until graduation, it is necessary to maintain a B average, even after induction. In February, '50, twenty-six seniors passed the scholas- tic and other qualifications and joined the honorable ranks of N. H. S. Jim Robinson, first semester president, turned his office over to John Nyquist who had been the vice presi- dent. Art McGuire was chosen the new veep, and Lamona Nash was elected to Janet Gerhauser's post of Secretary. Ruben Calva handed his treasury books over to Jade Hong. Fifteen of the sixty-six members were chosen to take the annual National examination for N. H. S. members scheduled for March 28. 52 I am weak with foil, yef strong in appetite. , , STUDENT COUNCIL Mr. Fleenor, adviser, and John Pollard, president.

STUDENT COUNCIL A governing body, by all respects, should be representa- tive of its state and capable of its responsibilities, thus lie, in a sentence, the aims and duties of Washburn's Student Council. Together with Mr. Fleenor, the council represents each and every homeroom. Student members come together to counsel and negotiate. Officers for first and second semesters, respectively are: John Pollard, Peter Oberhauser, presidents, Phil Gronseth, John Pollard, vice presidents, Janet Gerhauser, Sanny Ken- non, secretaries, Al Slettehaugh, Bill Chase, treasurers. On the agenda were such unsolved problems as the following: how can they more emphatically combat the usual lunchroom problems? Also, what can be done with students' automobiles in regard to parking? Ruben Calva illustrated a beautiful example, this year, of student representation. Speaking on behalf of the Quill Club, he brought a proposal to the council advocating a club auditorium. The idea caught fire and after con- siderable debate and planning became a reality. This sort of auditorium, such as the one Ruben successfully planned, the talent shows, the benefit shows, and the class play usually bring the heartiest approval. Speaking of class plays, the P. T. A. always seems to get their share of responsibilities. Homecoming, with its endless preparation, the winter sports dance, which met with a somewhat too usual fate, the spring formal or J. S., and the commencement dance in June each call for chaperones which the P. T. A. generously provides. Ruth Tuffley and Pat Blake meet each month with other city appointed representatives to tie up the high school councils in a common bond of understanding and knowl- edge.

The most im- portant of these was the gift boxes sent to war-torn countries. Every homeroom contributed as many boxes as they wanted: and each box gave a foreign child a little joy from Washburn. An auditorium was sponsored by them in February. This was to push their Red Cross drive in March. The school responded so well the goal was overrun. They also assembled a scrapbook that tells the life of Wash- burn. It was sent overseas in exchange for a scrapbook from them. One representative is chosen from each homeroom in the tenth and eleventh grades, three from each home- room in the twelfth grade. These members attend meet- ings and bring back reports to their homerooms. To help Chris in his work were Edward Market, vice president: Bob Pettengill. fall secretary: and Mary O,Brien, spring secretary, Betty Larson, treasurer. Con- gratulations to this group and Miss Goode, their adviser, for the fine work they did to help foreign countries through our school. RECORDS COMMITTEE Have you ever seen fourteen big wheels walking around the halls while everyone else is slaving away? Have you ever wondered who they are'? Well, rest in peace. It is just the records committee out for a breath of air. Under the guidance of Mr. Porter, these fourteen girls meet three times each semester in Room 105. They are chosen from the typing classes at the beginning of each year on the basis of typing ability and depend- ability. It is their duty to record grades and credits for all senior students. They also make out the senior honor roll list. Lamona Nash heads the group, and Carole Anderson is the assistant chairman. When grade recording time comes, the group is divided into two sections. It is sort of an old tradition for the two groups to have a race to see which one can complete the cards first. fLamona's group usually wins.J In case you think it is all soft for the records com- mittee, you are mistaken. Membership is on a voluntary basis. It usually takes five periods to complete the cards. The only regret for the girls is that all school work missed must be made up. They really perform a valuable service for the school. Row One: Nash, Lindquist, Dahl, Anderson, Mr. Porter. Row Two: Brenner, Seevers, Elliott, Milton.

Each spring for the past two years the members have planned and spon- sored What is referred to as the 'tOrientation Program. Under this program the new sophomores, coming from Ramsey and Bryant the following fall, are introduced to Washburn. Last year, a short program was given by several of the coaches, representatives of the various clubs, the counselors, and Mr. Fleenor. Following this the new recruits visited typical sixth hour classes and the various places such as the library, gyms, and lunch room were pointed out in tours led by Social Relations Committee members. Another phase of the activities of this group is launched each time a new student enters Washburn. The new Washburnite is introduced to a member of Social Relations by Mr. Dillner. The two new friends, with pro- gram in hand, begin a tour of the school to note the various classrooms which will be attended by the in- coming student. Thus the Social Relations Committee busily works to help acquaint new students with Wash- burn traditions. HI-Y CABINET With Ed Willow, the new Executive Secretary, be- hind the wheel, the Washburn Hi-Y clubs rolled along to a very successful year. The induction of seventy-five new fellows in the fall raised the total membership to one-hundred and fifty, and gained the Washburn Branch a reputation of most active. Service projects are the most important of the Hi-Y's activities. These service projects include such things as selling Christmas Tree tickets, and working on the Tree Selling lot for the Y's Men's Club, and contributing to such worthy organizations as F. O. B. QFor Other Boysl, Sister Kenny, and The March of Dimes. As one of the services to the school, the Hi-Y clubs sponsored Mr. Wayne Hanson, a world traveler, as an auditorium program. The social aspect of Hi-Y cannot be slighted. The individual clubs usually hold about four parties a year, not including the All School Party given every semes- ter. Last winter, Hi-Y boys and their dates had a gala evening at Camp Iduhapi with dancing, skating, sleigh riding, and toboganning in the offing. Row One: Meloche, Booker, Pres., Proctor.

This Hi-Y Club had only thirteen members last year, but nevertheless accomplished many things. Perhaps Delta's biggest project was the refereeing of basket- ball games beyond the poplars and across the field Qsometimes referred to as Ramseyj. The boys at Delta are lead by Jim Zollar, who has used his ability to keep the club active all year. One of Delta's more famous characteristics is its peppy parties.

It boasted the largest mem- bership in the city with over two hundred girls. Because of this large number, Blue Tri split into seven small groups, each with its own oflicers and programs. The1'e was a conference of all the Blue Tri's in the city at Lyman Lodge last fall, which the cabinet members attended. Many of the ideas suggested there were carried out later in the small groups. At Christmas time our Blue Tri, along with all the others in Minneapolis, sent candy bars overseas, one for each member in the city. The groups gave dances not only for themselves, but for the entire school. Picnics, pot luck suppers, skating and slum- ber parties were other social affairs during the year. All the weekly meetings were of great variety. Programs of hair styling, style shows, college talks, boy-girl relations, and joint meetings with Hi Y groups, were presented. Each group had an adviser from the Y. W. C. A., who help plan the programs and activities for the year. The ofiicers for the entire Blue Tri were Mary Jo Blake, presi- dent, Janet Neprud, vice president, Nancy Hahn, secretary, Connie Whitesell, treas- urer, and Sanny Kennon, I. C. C. represent- ative. These, plus the presidents of the small groups and various division chair- men made up the Blue Tri cabinet, which made this year really successful.

CABINET U. C., that elite group of upper class girls in eleventh and twelfth grades really did things this year under the leadership of Bunny Lysen, president. Besides the regular monthly meetings, U. C. has sponsored projects for the bene- fit of the whole school. They had a style show with clothes from Daytons which was open to all girls. During the March of Dimes Drive U. C. gave a kick the kigmy contest to raise some extra money. They also repainted parts of the mirror room and replaced the broken mirrors. The monthly programs included talks on colleges and clothes with refreshments served at each meeting. A new system of choosing cabinet members had to be devised as this was the first year without January graduates. A girl was elected from each of the eleventh grade homerooms to make up the junior cabinet. Their experience in working with the seniors will be of great help when they take over the leadership of U. C. next year. Miss O'Conner and Miss Young acted as advisers to help the cabinet carry out their projects. Each of the nine senior cabinet members accomplished her duty with the air of the entire U. C. enrollment. Other girls who held oiiices were Diane Lofts- gaarden, vice president, Lois Lindquist, secretary, and Nancy Walker, treasurer. TRI PHI, TRI W, SEVOLS, VIPS, T. N. T'S, CHICS Blue Tri has been functioning in seven small groups this year. The divisions are Chics, Tri Phi, Tri W, Sevols, T. N. T.'s, Vips, and Trix. Chics had a very active year led by president Amy See- vers, vice president Joanne Meagher, secretary Jackie Smith, and treasurer, Bette Stemsrud. Parties, pot-luck suppers, dances for charity, and selling flowers at the Mardi Gras were all part of their schedule. Visiting Arlie Haeberle's television show, having a pop- corn booth at the Mardi Gras, an Easter party for the chil- dren at the Phyllis Wheatley Settlement House, a slumber and swimming party at the Y. M. C. A. were activities en- joyed by the members of the T. N. T. Gerry Olafson, presi- dent, Joan Kirknes, vice president: Frances Fisher, secre- tary: and Jean Johnson, treasurer, were the officers.

Silver Tri has not only had a very successful social year, but has also fostered many service projects. The fall social calendar was centered around the Dads' and Daughters' Banquet at the Y.W.C.A. With Maury Ostrander doing the call- ing, the girls and their fathers enjoyed an hour of square dancing after which followed a delici- ous dinner. Silver Tri's meetings are held on Wednesdays after school, at which time much life and fun are had by all. Some of the highlights of enter- tainment featured Oz Black and a program presented by a man from Murrays' Fashion School. At Easter time the girls devoted their time to the making of favors for hospitals. Among the many events of the spring season were a Mothers' and Daughters' breakfast, and a picnic at Lyman Lodge. The cabinet officers this year were as follows: Donna Lathrop, president, Pat Zimmerman, vice presidentg Myrna Noodleman, secretaryg Carolyn Robinson, treasurer, and Elizabeth Ewald, l.C.C. representative. 62 CRANGE TICKETS Row One: Kelley, Neal, Heroux, Wimmer, Bjorn lie, Loesex, Pettit.

French Club is one of the busiest clubs at Washburn. To give aid to unfortunate children in Europe, candy canes were sold, and money was turned over to the Save the Children Federation. The proceeds from the school Mardi-Gras dance sponsored by les petits mademoiselles et messieurs on Febru- ary 21 also went to the Children's Federation. A Christmas breakfast with the good old Santa Claus spirit was gobbled in the teachers' lunch- room along about the time of the annual Christmas party. Speakers! Does the club have speakers? Natch, and good ones too. Joannie Stevens, Washburn alum, bursting with enthusiasm, told the group about her trip to Europe during the summer. Does French club treat its seniors right? But of course, it's an essential tradition, the senior fare- well. The seniors were treated again this year by the annual senior farewell. All the meetings of the fall semester were lead by the Hhead gavelieru Amy Seevers. Lother Klien, vice president, Connie Whitesell, secretary, and Lou Melander, treasurer, made up the officers' cabi- net. Mlle. Seevers turned the Hgavel honors to Kasha Stevens.

TICKET SELLERS Chosen by Mr. Dillner from the 11th and 12th grades, the ticket sellers are responsible for the promotion and sale of tickets for all athletic events. For the valuable work they do, they re- ceive little praise from the stu- dent body. In recognition of the time they devote toward handling all the money that comes in for tickets, these boys are entitled to free passes for all sports events. They are also eligible to receive serv- ice awards after completing two years of service. Nelson, Sletteha u gh, Denny, Wilcox. l l l F COMO ESTA VD? Hi, Spanish clubbers! I think it's about time we let everyone know how much fun we have in Spanish club. Under the able advisership of Miss Laird, we have completed another fun-packed year. To start our new school year out right, all the language clubs met to welcome back a former Wash- burn student, Bruce Bullock. He told of his experi- ences in Paris and his work at the conservatory. He also gave us a brief account of life and conditions in Paris. The language department also had the plea- sure of taking a trip with Joannie Stevens via slides which she took in F1'ance and Italy.

Two Spanish members journeyed down south of the border during Christ- mas vacation and related their experiences to Spanish club from first hand information. SOUND CREW The Sound Crew is a school service or- ganization comprised of boys from all grades. The boys, under the advisership of Mr. Pulver, have in their hands the control and administration of all audio-visual activ- ities carried on at Washburn. Among these various activities are procuring and show- ing films ordered by the teachers, supplying an efficient public-address system for all auditoriums, making and replaying record- ings on our professional type tape re- corders, and providing stage lighting and service. The auditorium movies and public- address system, together with the outdoor announcing system, are supervised by Wally Boquist and Jerry Park. The stage lighting facilities are controlled by Bob George and Kenny Floberg with their able stage assistants. One of the most exacting offices on the Sound Crew, held by Kenny Floberg, is Program Master, who, with Tom Jameson, must program the day's schedule and set up projectors and other equipment throughout the school. This equipment is kept in repair by Wally Boquist and Art McGuire. Scott Mcliurney holds the trying task of film ordering. He must receive requisitions for films from teachers, then order and have them confirmed as to dates available and other necessary arrange- ments. The home room has chosen Henry Hillman as president, Leslie Long vice president and treasurer, Bill Kelly as sec- retary, Earl Hetherington as Grist repre- sentative, and Darel Leipold as Sound Crew representative in the Student Council. SETON HI Once upon a time there was a club called Seton Hi. Since once upon a time it has become inactive, but while it lasted its members enjoyed many social activities. Meeting every other week on Wednes- days after school, this all-girl club engaged in skating, baseball, volleyball, and just generally having a good time. Lois Lindquist headed the gang during 1948-49 semester, and Amy Seevers took over the presidency the last half of the vear. L Some of Seton Hi's outstanding activities last year were a city-wide dance at the Seton Guild, helping the Community Chest during its campaign, and giving a party for the children of the Pillsbury Settlement House. Instructors from Murray's Model- ing School talked to the girls about proper grooming and posture. PHOTOGRAPHY The seemingly extinct Photo Club, is this year headed by co-chairmen, Manthey and Anderson. Meetings are held after school in either Mr. Reque's physics room or in Mr. Roder's biology room. Of course they have a darkroom and of course it is very, very dark inside, as would be required of any darkroom. . The Photo Club can be most appropriately called a section of the Science Club.

LATIN CLUB This year Latin club, led by chuckling Sanny Kennon, has swelled its member! ship to seventy-five bright-eyed classical scholars. Their activities included Joannie Stevens, world renowned traveler and speaker, who stimulated the group to a point just this side of madness. Flushed with the success of this meeting, the cabinet, consisting of Kennon, president, Earl Johnson, vice presi- dent, Marcia Allen, secretary, and Kasha Stevens, poobah, selected a trio to sing Silent Night for the annual Christmas program. They were supplemented by Marcia Allen reading a charming tale en- titled The Littlest Angel and Kasha Steven's recital of The Night Behind Christmas. Kasha had the added difficulty of rendering this piece into modern English. The club also serenaded the school on the day before Christmas vacation. They sang Panis Angelicus, Jesu Bambino, and Dona Nobis Pacem among other and even more desirable ballads. This concert required many enjoyable hours of diligent practice both in and out of class. All grades participated to lend the recital the depth and power necessary to carry throughout the halls. The club held a gala Senior Farewell at the Cafe di Napoli early this spring. There was an elaborate program featuring songs, speeches, and Ravioli. Unfortunately Liz Evans, our erstwhile treasurer, had a nervous breakdown and was forced to move to Sunny Dale, a quiet farm in Connecticut. Audrey Swed- berg valiantly stepped in to fill her shoes and put Latin club back on the map financially. Row One: Evans, Treas., Allen, Sec., Kennon, Pres., Mrs. Savage, Stev- ens, Johnson, V. Pres.

This group, well known as the German Club, started out this year with a picnic at Nokomis Park to initiate new members. The Fall officers were: Gordon Tucker, president, Wayne Schmitt, vice president, Neil Yerigan, secretary, Dan McGrath, treasurer. During their term, the club heard Lael McCubrey, a former Washburn stu- dent, speak on her recent trip to Germany for S. P. A. N. Two German students, now attending University High also spoke to the club on Germany. Slides of their father- land were shown with the talk. The annual Christmas party was held at the home of our adviser, Miss Denison. German cakes and cookies were featured after a guest spoke on Germany. After the illness of our advise1', the club carried on under the guidance of Mrs. Duf- falo. The new officers elected were: Lois Ostrander, president, Joan Peterson, vice president, Carolyn Spencer, secretary, Nancy Zimmerman, treasurer. All members planned and presented, for March 28, the annual Easter church service for their parents and teachers. The outstanding event of the yearlfor the seniors was the farewell party given them by the junior and sophomore members.

S. spend their spare moments jotting off manu- scripts for their beloved Quill Club. The group has had a very active past year under the able leadership of Lou Melander in the fall, and Marilyn Oz- mon in the spring. Manuscript meetings were held every so often and the Quill calendar was dotted with social events. A sleigh ride, initiation party, and dance gave the club a name for gala parties. The major project of the group is putting out the literary magazine, the Poplars, which had its first growing pains just a few years ago. All of the material used in the publication is writ- ten by Washburn students and pro- spective writers. It contains everything from poems to short stories, cleverly compiled by the Quill group. They wel- come new members, who have the op- portunity to join twice a year in manuscript try-outs. Headed by Babette Harrington and Nancy Hahn during the first and sec- ond semesters, respectively, Chroma Club contributed much to the beauty of Washburn's hallowed halls. Their biggest job was the homecom- ing decorations with the rest of the year devoted to other decorating pro- jects and even a Valentine's day party. Learning more about art was the theme of the meetings and the members brought some of their own paintings to be discussed and criticized. The new members were chosen on the basis of th1'ee drawings which were voted on by the actives with the help of Miss Trowbridge, Chroma Club's adviser.

SCIENCE, POLITIX AND CHESS People like to talk and they are at their best while eat- ing. The politix club takes full advantage of this glibness. Throughout the year, through the munching of S3.lldW1Cll9S the grave and weighty problems of the day are discussed. An informed critic of these problems is Louie Claeson who has given the politix members something to think about and tear into many times throughout the year. Two cabinets ruled over politix this year. The first se- mester found Lothar Klein as president, Nancy Hammond, vice president, Louis Lindquist, secretary, and Joan Peter- son as treasurer. Next semester John McGuire pounded the gavel. Pete Oberhauser put it away. Jeanette Fruen wielded the pen and Joan Peterson handed the purse over to Ruben Calva. Mr. Halverson, adviser, watched another year of politix go by. Last year they took the chess championship. This year the other schools will not compete, therefore the chess club is inactive. Ruben Calva says that the members have had to revert to playing each other. To increase the interest and to satisfy the thirst for scientific knowledge of the students at Washburn is the aim of the science club. Some of the science club members have developed their interests into hobbies. Paul Landstrom has collected vari- ous types of soil to determine its properties. Mary Sackett is analyzing blood. Several others are working on bacteria cultures and their effects. Officers of the science club this year were: first semes- ter, Paul Landstrom as president, Betty Simon, secretary and Dan Flary as treasurer, second semester, Pamale Pamplin was president, Janet Lind, secretary, and Dick Wright, treasurer.

Washburn High School. Is there any message? This is another of the many duties performed by the office board under the jurisdiction of Miss Lund. The members of the ofiice board give up their gym peri- ods and their variating studies to perform these various duties for the good of the student body. The hour in the office each day is not spent in wasted efforts. The jobs performed will prove invaluable if, in the future, the girls hold down an ofiice job. The routine consists of filing, typing, working the switch board, plus other miscellaneous jobs. Have you ever wondered who the lucky person is who calls your house and wants to know 'twhy you are out of school? You guessed it. It's the chosen few who work in the office third and fourth periods. When that perfect plan for skipping goes wrong-you can blame it on the ofiice board. They aid and abet in mak- ing up the skipper's list. Although it is all work and no play, every girl realizes the knowledge she is gaining. OFFICE BOARD Row One: Nash, Peterson. Row Two: Schow, Gareis, Stensing, Martin, Hoffmann, Holmberg, Gran- ville, Bryant, Creasor, Olson. Washburn's mighty mass of musty shelves, known to the common herd as the library, is kept functioning by the efforts of that hard-working fthey sayj group known as the library board. Of course the only individuals on the board worth men- tioning are seniors, such as Merry Johnson, Pat Campbell, Lois Milton, Barb Baier, and Ruth Chader, but there are others who rake up the leaves-Margaret Irons, Shirley Cantor, and Nancy Day. These people, friends, are the ones who relieve you of your last seven cents when you come in with a slightly over-due book, that same seven cents that you were going to use for lunch. These are the people who stack the books in such a way that you find The Three Musketeers in be- tween two volumes on economics. However, these people, in spite of the above biting sarcasm, are the ones who keep the library going-and going well. Each one gives up a valuable fvalue depending on the teacher presiding thereinj study in order to do this when they could be using that same study for homework. fThis may be taken as a joke or not, depending upon your dis- position or lack thereof.j Respectfully submitted on exactly the day after it was due by the most sarcastic member of the class of '50. fl admit it myself.J LIBRARY BOARD Row One: Miss Olson, Johnson.

WORK PROGRAM The Cooperative Part-Time Work Program has had another successful year at Washburn. Thirty-five stu- dents, both boys and girls, are located in jobs throughout the city. Under the guidance of Miss Nash and with the cooperation of the local business organizations, seniors have been placed in work that makes the best of their abilities. These abilities are determined by aptitude, cler- ical, and mechanical tests given at the beginning of the school year. After the work program is under way, many of the students find themselves following this schedule: Mary takes three subjects at Washburn, such as English, occupational relations Ctaken in place of modern problems, S2J, and one other subject according to the student's choice. She completes her school day at 11:30 and is then permitted to leave for her job. From real estate oflices to drug stores, from green houses to machine shops, Washburn will be represented in the trade, office, and distributional work throughout the country. Right now there are students at Juster Brothers, Dayton's, Boutell's, Harold's, Federal Reserve Bank, the Telephone Company, Investor's Syndicate, and many others. CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP Christian Fellowship Club is a city-wide organization with clubs in every high school in the city. Its purpose is to provide a chance for Christian young people to get to- gether to discuss their problems and hear the Word of Go . At Washburn, C. F. C. meets every Wednesday after school under the direction of Walter Briggs, president. Besides having speakers from all over the city, the mem- bers have conducted some very fine meetings themselves. The hub of the organization is the city-wide cabinet which plans activities for all the schools. This past year, C. F. C. has had a very busy and interesting schedule. At a fall Bible conference, members listened to enlighten- ing and unusual talks on Bible education. At Christmas time, the group undertook a caroling tour which included the bus and train stations. The social highlight of the year was a senior masquerade party. A banquet was en- joyed by all C. F. C.'ers in the spring. Many extension meetings have been held out of town to help get new clubs started. These meetings are a lot of fun, and are also very 1nsp1r1ng. There is no limit to the membership of Christian Fel- lowship, which is advised by Mr. James Bolewine, and it offers an invitation to all to attend the meetings. .Q WORK PROGRAM Row One: Belland, Gibertson, Mien- ke, Rudick, Pres., Grodnick, V.

Our band and orchestra, under the able direction of Mr. Super, completed a very successful year. The band started the year off in fine shape by play- ing at every home football game. In their bright orange and blue uniforms, they added much to the atmosphere of the games. Our Washburn band took its turn at one 8 :30 basketball game and made a fine showing. An entire band auditorium, which stirred the spirits of all, was presented to the school in May. A new feature of the program was a community sing. As the students sang such songs as 'tOld Black Joe, and Beautiful Dreamer, the band supplied the music, and the words to each song were flashed on a screen. Each memorial day the band is invited by the Richfield post of the American Legion to play at the Oak Hill cemetery. They feel privileged to help ac- 72 BAND Row One: Mr. Super, Fase, Bohn, Theis, Hessing, Allan, Snyder, Du- Bay.

For the enjoyment of all, the band played throughout the year at the beginning and close of every auditorium program. The Washburn orchestra, though consisting of few, accomplished much last year. One auditorium program, presented to the entire school enrollment, was brought about by their efforts. This program consisted of a concert put on by Mr. Barnett and his orchestra. Near the end of the program, our musical maestros joined them in playing the Minnesota March. The Washburn orchestra completed its year by playing for the Minnesota Safety Council and the State Board of Education. The band and orchestra joined forces to present the instrumental music of the annual Christmas program, and also along with Mr. Krause's modern drama classes to bring us the best auditorium of the year. This auditorium used the theme of Happy Holiday. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Row One: Roberts, Devoy, Roby, Mr. Bolewine, Libra, Bouchard, Hovde.

GIRLS' GLEE CLUB If you're ever sauntering past the auditorium during second period on a Tuesday or a Thursday, stop and listen for a minute and you'll hear the sweetest music this side of Nicollet Avenue. What could it be? Girls' Glee Club no less, and how they can sing. Now wait for a moment-what's that you hear? Laughing? Talking? Well, girls will be girls. Just ask Mr. Bolewine and he'll tell you what it's like to try to keep seventy giggling females under control. However, when you see the girls at Christmas time, looking and sounding so an- gelic, you realize that Mr. B really does a fine job. This year the Glee Club did an outstanding job in rendering Lullaby on Christmas Eve and Birthday of a King, with solos by Barbara Dysthe and Barbara Janes, respectively. Then comes the springtime when a young man's fancy turns to love, and so do the girl's, but they keep right on singing because some time in May they must perform in the annual Spring Sing, held here at Washburn. As at Christmas time, two performances are given, one for the school and one for the public. However, this time the girls shed their all-white costumes and don their prettiest cottons for the school program, and pastel formals for the evening performance. And at this time of the year, they trade their angelic tones for those of the larks. So you see, Girls' Glee Club is a nice organiza- tion to have around the school, for not only are they most agreeable to look at, but they can sing! 73 MIXED GLEE CLUB MIXED GLEE CLUB The perfect blending of 90 voices has given the Mixed Glee Club its reputation of being the most outstanding musical organization at Washburn. These music lovers, under the direction of Mr. James Bolewine, may be heard in the auditorium any Monday, Wednesday, or Friday the fifth period at which times they are eagerly practicing for coming programs. This past year has been marked by the many successful performances given by the Mixed Glee Club. At Christmas time, together with the Girls' and Boys' Chorus and the mass Christmas Chorus, a program was presented to the school for an auditorium and to the parents for evening entertainment. As Lately We Watched, with a solo by Nancy Zimmerman, and Come Rise Up Early In The Morning, with a duet by Barbara Janes and Diane Lofts- gaarden, were presented by the Mixed Glee Club. The Glee Club was very honored this year to be chosen as one of the groups to present a Christmas caroling pro- gram at the Farmers and Mechanics Bank. Drawing a very large audience, the choristers provided a half hour of SOPRANO AND TENOR Stefferud, Keagle. Suhrbier, Martinsen, accompanist: Stromwall, B. Johnson. Zimmermann, Ross. son, Stevens.

Two of the accompanists, Ruth Ann Martinsen and Marilyn Abbott, are graduating seniors and will be greatly missed by the Glee Club next year. Paul Riley, a sophomore, will continue to accompany the Glee Club for another two vears. During the months of November and December, the Glee Club was fortunate in having a student director, Mr. Lawrence Larson, from the MacPhail School of Music. Mr. Larson directed many of the Glee Club songs and a number for the Christmas program. The annual spring sing presented in May was again a success. Like the Christmas program, a performance was given for the student body and also for the parents. The night program, though, was indeed a gala affair in which the girls wore formals and the boys dressed in suits. The songs that the Glee Club sang were, Fred Waring's ar- rangement of You'll Never Walk Alone, Goin' Home, and Onward Christian Soldiers. Row One: Whitesell, L. Anderson, B.

The chorus is made up of fifty loud- mouthed boys who think they can sing. Under the direction of Mr. Bolewine, they presented a program at the Nicollet Hotel for the P. T. A. convention last fall. They also took part in the Christmas program. Music seems to be second nature with the boys, for each night, so I've heard, they prac- tice over and over again. The inspiring songs include their own very inspiring words. Mr. Bolewine, besides leading the male chorus, leads the girls' chorus and the mixed glee club Row also. Membership is open to all go , who can and will participate. R211 CHRISTMAS CHORUS Row Row Jfk.

Girl's Glee Club, Boy's Chorus, and the Mixed Glee Club are automatically in- cluded, and outstanding members from the chorus classes are added to make a grand total of three hundred and Hfty voices. Rehearsals are held every morning in the auditorium at 8:00 a.m., all through November and right up to a few days before the program. Two performances are given: Larsen, Ellingson, Erdall, Swift, Ulring, Corriveau, Reitan. one for the school and one for the public. The program is made up of the renditions by the mass chorus, and three respective Glee Clubs, and several soloists chosen from grueling try-outs. The songs vary from year to year with the one exception that the program is always ended with the mass chorus singing Handel's famous Halle- lujah Chorus from the Messiah. Washburn is proud of its Christmas Chorus as every year its outstanding performance brings much recognition to the school. 75 SPORTS ll One for all, or all for one we gagep As life for honour in full battle's ragep Honour for wealthy and oft that wealth cloth cost The death of all, ancl all together lost.

BOYS' ATHLETIC BOARD Washburn's Boy's Athletic Board was instituted in this school when it was first built. lt has always consisted of the captains of the various teams and their coaches plus certain members of the faculty. Their function is important despite the fact that they don't meet very often. Mr. Fleenor calls the board together when a matter of policy arises over any phase of athletics, either at Washburn or citywide. The names of prospective letter winners are submitted and passed on their eligibility. The board reserves the right to reclaim the letter from any athlete who has shown himself unworthy of the honor. CHEERLEADERS. Have you got it? Yeaaa Bo! That's the cheer- leaders giving their hoarse voices more rough treatment. This year's squad seemed to like the idea of originating new yells, and as a result we have Seven Come Eleven, Hip, Hip, Hooray, and Fa Da Da to put more pep into the cheering section. Seven new cheerleaders will fill in the vacancies left by Lois Lindquist, Amy Seevers, Dorothy Lee, f'Butch Harder, Wayne Schmidt, and Lothar Klein who are graduating after several years of faithful service. Every Washburn student marvels at the per- formance of our drum majorites. Keeping time with the music behind twirling batons are Carol Hessing, Beverly Theis and Nancy Allen.

He represents the best all-around boy in his field. He must have the ability and desire to lead his team to victory, even when the chips are down. Gene Booker and Frank Proctor, co-captains of the varsity football team, proved their ability and desire to lead their team. They both played their utmost in every game. They led their team to one win and one tie. Gene also led his wrestling team to a three-way tie for the city cham- pionship between Washburn, Henry, and Roosevelt. Dick Carlson was captain of the hockey team. He was second highest scorer for his team, which won four and tied one out of nine games. John Peterson led his swimming team to second place in the city. He competed with the 160-yard relay team which set a new record. His team lost only to Roosevelt, the city champs this year. Flex Phillips is the new tennis captain. Last year's team came out with a third-place berth in the city league. Felix netted fourteen match- es to lead his team. Bob Smith, newly elected track captain, will take over the job of leading his team to another successful year when the track season opens this spring. Don Ortley, the only junior captain this year, paced his ski team to a third place in the city race and a sixth place in the state meet. Pete Oberhauser, letter winner last year, will be out this spring to lead his team over the course to many victories. Tom Dunton, a star of last year's baseball team, will take over lead- ership of the team this spring. He is replacing the retired Tommy Briggs. John Wright not only led his basketball team to eight wins out of fifteen starts, but shared top scoring honors with Jack Swift. He scored 101 points. Wright is truly one of the greatest athletes to come out of Washburn.

Many a still muscle and weary body fell into bed at night only to have the urge to get up the next day and work out again. All this workout was to sum up to seven games of which the Boys in Blue won one and tied one. Washburn picked the best ones to do well in. The Homecoming game with Ma1'shall was our tie and gave the team spirit and fight. The Marshall game had its disappointment in it when the point after T.D. had been made but an infraction of a rule nullified it and caused the 6-6 tie. Nevertheless, it was a moral victory for W.H.S. Washburn's single victory came against the team that best exited in a blaze of glory. The game played at McQuarry field differed from any other game this year. Both teams had similarly colored uniforms which were hard to distinguish on the field so Washburn dug into its storeroom and found enough orange jerseys to equip our team. These orange jerseys were last worn in 19? and were sized to fit a midget team. Spurred on by its co-captains Gene Booker and Frank Proctor, the Orange played its best ball of the season. With less than three minutes of play left, Washburn made a goal line stand and gained possession of the ball. Fourth down with thirty seconds, Dwight Atherton kicked Washburn to its first and final victory of the year. Washburn is always affected by disabili- ties. This year's casualties were Bill Chase, Jim Dean, John Nyquist. Edwin Olwin was also injured and out for most of the season.

Throughout the second quarter, the Orange, led by Captain Harold Stevens' long runs, completely dominated play to lead at halftime, 12-6. The third stanza was win, with neither team threatening. With the beginning of the fourth quarter, West put a do-or-die march of eighty yards to score, with two minutes remaining. The extra point was blocked by Seymour Durskin to tie the score at 12-all. But the Orange were not denied as they roared back, showing poise, class, and courage, as they drove to the West 14 before surrendering possession of the pigskin. On the game's last play, Stevens intercepted a West desperation pass, tapewalking twenty yards to victory. The years' final game was played at Central on a cold November 25. The boys played good ball, but were defeat- ed, 25-13, by the Pioneers, who went on to win the cham- pionship. Outstanding members of the team included: Harold Stevens and Gary Bergsing at left half, Jeff Simius at quarter, Jerry Eisele at right half, Jere Briggs and Graig Stout at left end, Seymour Druskin at left tackle, Sammy Walsh and Tom Jenks at left guard, Brady Benson at cen- ter, Ron Cohen and Jim Stanley at right guard, Fred Whiffelmeyer and George Curtis at right tackle, and Rich- ard Gunderson at right end.

Elf-03 Ly ,V J ete, lsrs WASHBURN '49-'50 BASKETBALL SEASON Long before Christmas, the hopeful Washburn basketeers were pounding the alley courts all over south Minneapolis in preparation for the 1949-50 bas- ketball season. The first conference game was with Minneapolis Central. The Blanchard boys proved too much for the hard-fighting Millers, who succumbed in the third period, after trailing by only one point at the half. The final score-29 to 37 for Central. The Millers met Southwest for their second confer- ence tilt and came out on top, 44 to 37. Jack Swift led the scoring with twelve points, while captain Wright pounded in ten. Washburn downed a very stubborn West team by one point, 45 to 44, for their second win in three starts. Pete Oberhauser, six foot-six inch Miller center, was the high point man with seventeen points, while Wright netted ten in one of the best played games of the season. Swift with fifteen and Oberhauser with twelve paved the way to a decisive victory over Edison. The Millers led by twelve points at the half and pulled out a 47 to 37 final score. Washburn dropped a close game to a hard-fighting Marshall team by two points, 45 to 47, after leading by seven at half-time. A stubborn South team came back with a rally in the second half after trailing by ten points, and almost caught up with the Ross-Men, but John Wright and Jack Swift each got thirteen points to be the pace- The strides they victors made. lf I may be so bold. But, pardon me, I am to sudden bold. setters for Washburn's fourth victory, 42 to 39. The Roosevelt team proved equal to the Millers by tieing the game, 38 to 38, at the end of the regulation game time. Roosevelt got the last basket before the buzzer-putting an end to the most exciting game of the season. Final score-Washburn 44, Roosevelt 46. Washburn had trouble with a hard-fighting Henry team the first half, but rallied in the second to down the Patriots, 45 to 40. Wright and Swift led the point- gctters with twelve and ten, respectively. North proved too much for Washburn in their ninth conference game. Wright and Johnson got fifteen and fourteen, respectively, to help the Millers fight from behind, but when the final buzzer sounded, Washburn was on the short end of the score, 39 to 45. Although only one point behind at the half, the Millers' cold second half stamped out their many rally attempts. Jack Swift got twelve points, while Wright got eleven. The final score-Washburn 36, Vocational 48. The Millers met Edison again in the fi1'st round of the playoffs and suHered the loss of Jack Swift in the first half, with a badly sprained ankle. Washburn fought hard in the final game, but was defeated 38 to 45. John Wright tied with Jack Swift for top scoring honors. Each got 101 points. The senior letter winners this year are John Wright, Tom Dunton, Jim Robinson, Pete Oberhauser, Charlie Bergh, Roger Lemieux, and Jack Swift. Till the last step have brought me to my love.

SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL When the final and last un had ended the '49 5 s , - g , -' 0 ba:- ketball season, one thought prevailed throughout the sophomore ranks .... We could and should have taken the championship. As it was, the sophomore team did excep- tionally well, for they did cop second place and lost only three games. The season got underway shortly before Christmas when Washburn was defeated by Henry, despite pivot- man George Scott's fifteen points. Wins, against Voca- tional, West and Marshall followed in that order. Number two to down the Orange was none other than the old l will wish fhee never more lo dance. Though the Devil lead Phe measure, such are to be followed. Well, then, ir appears you need my help. stickler, Central. Guard Jim Daly describes the next vic- tory over Southwest, as our best. Paul Rifenburg, fo1'- ward, collected 13 points against the Indians. We beat South, said leaping guard, Buddy Moll, but as usual we had a rough first half. Edison proved quite a turnabout for the sophs, in that they, for once, played a good first half. Second best game, states high-scorer, forward Jerry Briggs, was with North. The last game, llioosevelt, stamped out any Washburn championship opes. Deepest appreciation goes to Coach Mr. Ray Smith for his fine work with this year's team.

SWIMMING The Orange swimming team, popularly called the tank- ers, the mermen, and on occasion even the H2O's, this year copped second place in a season termed very success- ful. Led by the flamboyant captain, John Peterson, Wash- burn lost only to Roosevelt, the champions. Also a season record was set. The 160 yard relay con- tingent comprised of swimmers: John Peterson, Don John- son, Peter Von Eshen and Bud Mattison broke the old and made the new with a time of 1:23.1. First meet, Central, found Jerry Gale as perusual win- ningg this time the 40-yard and the 100-yard. The relay quartet won while Peterson stole the 200-yard. North, like Central and Washburn, were early season championship favorites. In the second meet, with North, Washburn walked off with the backstroke, 100, 200, Medley relay, and thereby the team won. Edison was third and victory was sure, for our lads won all but the breaststroke. Aforementioned Roosevelt was next. Roger Madsen and Jerry Gale swimming the 40 and 200 yard respectively, both won. Henry, South, and Marshall followed in that order. Dick Andersen rocketed home to first in both the latter two meets swimming the backstroke. Bill Lichliter captured diving against South. Jon Wallace wrapped up a Washburn win against South- west when he copped the breaststroke. Bod Edlund took a second in the same event. Lastly, to their defeat came West and Vocational. Leap in with me info ihis angry flood, And swim lo yonder poinl? WRESTLING Washburns's maulers of the mat came through for the first time with a City championship. The only fiy in the ointment was the fact that the Orange had to share the title with Roosevelt and Henry. The grapplers won five and lost one for a substantial season losing only to Roosevelt. Washburn won the first meet of the year and gave Henry its only licking, 22-18. In the second start the Orange slaughtered West's Cow- boys, 48-7. Washburn won ten of twelve matches while losing one and tying one. Vocational, the next obstacle, was subdued and then in the Marshall meet, Coach Helleck- son's boys found that they would have to take all the lower weights to overcome the Cardinals' advantage of Peterson, Olson and Huseberg. Huseberg, better known as Lil Abner was last year's state champion. The boys promptly took all weights from 112 to 145. The final score was Washburn 27, Marshall 17. Next came the lone de- feat at the hands of Roosevelt, which pushed the Orange into the three-way-tie. The Teddies took the meet 27-14. Central was next on the agenda. The Pioneers could make little headway with the matmen and Washburn hit the comeback trail 34-3. To close out the season the grunt-and-groaners shellacked Edison 36-10. In the regional meet Washburn's 95 pounder, Jim Hill, won the championship, and John Stocking, Perry Planch, Junior Tucker, and Bill Calva placed third in the com- petition.

WASHBURN HOCKEY Valiantly trying to retain their high school hockey title, Coach Carl E. Carlson's icemen came through with four wins, four losses, and one tie. The puckmen started the 1950 hockey season by defeating Vocational 5-1. Newcomer Dick Litman stole honors with two goals in the first and last periods. Larry Palm began his total ten goals for the season by tallying twice. Jerry Smith added the other point to raise the score to five. Next, the Washburn pucksters tackled Central in the sea- son's closest game. Jim Dobson tallied for Central unassisted, but Smith scored for Washburn in the third period to tie up the game. During the last minutes, Bob Hoege scored the winning goal on a long shot to clinch the close victory for Central. Following Central, the Millers tied West 2-2. Captain Dick Carlson and Larry Palm each scored once to give the Orange the lead. But not for long, as West bounced back in the third period with two goals which tied up the game. Southwest's goalie, Denny Sullivan, smashed Washburn's hopes of an easy victory by stopping the Millers with only one goal. The Indians played an inspired game and took the Orange 6-1. After the Millers' disappointing defeat by Southwest, they came back to defeat Roosevelt 3-1. Palm boosted his total by two goals and Bruce Lindvall tallied with one goal in the last period. The next week, the sextet walloped Edison in a brilliant defensive game. Goalie Dwight Atherton was exceptionally good with 20 stops to his credit. Jackie Robinson and Larry Palm paced the puckmen, in the Edison encounter with two goals each. Carlson added a point in the third period and Lindvall boosted the score with one goal, unassisted, in the last minutes of the game to make the victory a smashing 6-1. Following the Edison game, the Orange won another vic- tory by defeating Marshall. Larry Palm became the first Miller to perform the Hat Trick as he collected half of the team's total. Jack Robinson and Linder Peterson, both jun- iors, got one apiece and 'Lindvall tallied the other Miller goal to make the score 6-3. The South six proved to be too big for Washburn's hopefuls and defeated the Millers 4-0 in the season's roughest game. Washburn had to play most of the game short handed as they were assessed a total of eight minors and a misconduct penalty. Palm attempted to score on a penalty shot but was foiled by Jim Larson, the Tiger's netminder. South, by virtue The aflempl and nol the deed confounds us. l am deierminedf' of this victory, became the new City Champions. Henry proved to be too tough for the Orange in the final game, downing them 2-0. Robinson came near to giving the Millers one goal, but it was called back because Lindvall was in the crease. Larry Palm was high point-scorer for the sea- son with ten goals and one assist. Captain Dick Carlson was second highest with two goals and five assists. Defenseman Bruce Lindvall played the best all-around game with a total of three goals and two assists. Lindvall was the only Miller that made the All-City team. Sophomore goalie, Jeff Simus, saw considerable action this year and will probably be the biggest asset to next year's team. Choo-Choo Swanum won honors as being king of the badmen with Earl Frederickson his closest rival. Such is his noble purpose. 90 Row One: Page, Allen, Kojetin, Plummer.

Washburn last season, won for the eighth time in twelve years, the state-wide Metropoli- tan meet held in the U. of M. Fieldhouse. Star Miller hurdler, Don Tokar, stole the show when he set a new 65-yard low-hurdles record 7.7 sec- onds in the Met preliminaries. This year, the 1950 season, Don virtually broke his own record when he raced home in 7.3 seconds. Washburn copped the Met again this year. Bob Lindquist and John Petroff each won in the hurdles, and both ran on the winning 880- yard relay team. Lindquist waltzed home in the 60-yard high hurdles in 8.1 after equaling the record 7.8 in the semi-finals. He also tied for fifth in the 440. The Orange virtually monopo- lized the final low-hurdles race as Petroff copped f11'St and Tokar third. Small, high-stepping To- kar wrenched a leg muscle, in this race, which kept him from any further competition, the entire season. First place by the 880-yard relay team, com- posed of Don Levine, Bob Lindquist, John Pet- roff, and Bob Smith assured victory and the retaining of their 1948 title. Arm in arm they both The Orange met Southwest and joyously the Indians in their first dual of the season. Four days later, Southwest retaliated capturing a triangular relay involving themselves, Roose- velt, and Washburn. In the City Relay meet, the tracksters won a third place. South invaded Macquarrie Field next. The Tigers were sent home, defeated, in a neat package as was Cen- tral who followed two weeks later. At Carleton, the locals took a number three spot, and another third in the St. Thomas Relays. Coached by Vilhelm Larsen, Washburn wound-up in third at the City meet. Honor- grabbing, John Petroff, added more laurels when he raced to first in the State meet, low- hurdles. His time, 23.6, became a new State record. The following boys won HW letters: Gay- lord Fernstrom, Allan Kennedy, Bob Lindquist, Jerry Loomis, Dave Lueck, John Petroff, Dave Plummer, Dick Stanek, Harold Strobel, Bob Smith, and Lloyd Thorgaard. came swiftly running- Nay, if you gel if, you shall gel it with running. CARLETON INVITATIONAL A wet track and a strong wind gave the dashmen and hurdlers a very hard time in the 1950 Carleton Invi- tational track meet. But Captain Bob Smith with the help of Don Lokar led the Washburn thin-clads to their ninth victory in 18 years of participation. Smith broke the tape in both dashes but was hard pressed by Chuck Swanum who finished second. Tokar came home with first place trophies in both high hurd- les and broad jump. These three boys along with Jerry Fitzimmons combined to win the 880 relay by a wide margin. Other point collectors on the team were Paul Patres- kyhi, half-milerg David Plummer and George Scott, quarter-milersg Charles Bergh, high-jumper, Allan Clark, low hurdlerg Kenneth Roslind, milerg and Roger Kozetine, pole-vaulter. SKIING When snow finally fell in Minneapolis, Coach Vilhelm Larsen began work with his ski team candidates. Not too many boys tried out, but of those that .d1d, Coach Larsen built a team which walked away with a third place in the city ski meet held at Theodore Wirth. ' In the state meet, in which skiers from all over .Min- nesota participated, the Miller skiers came out with a sixth place. Don Ortley, a junior this year, helped Washburn con- siderably in the Breck invitational meet. The Millers came out with the second place honors. The biggest event of the year for the team was the meet held at Duluth. The all expense-paid trip was awarded to the eight best boys on the team who joined with a total of forty-four boys from all over the city to make the trip. The bus left Minneapolis on a Friday morning bound for the Holland Hotel in Duluth. All day Friday and Saturday, Chester Park in Duluth was full of skiers. The meet ended Saturday afternoon when the bus left for Minneapolis. It was a swell trip for everyone and everyone had a swell time, said Mr. Larsen. The Wash- burn ski team should get a pat on the back for their fine showing throughout the season. Mr. Larsen, B. Johnson, Rosland, Jacobson, K.

Again Washburn, led this time by Clark Groseth and Linder Peterson, sophomore catcher, backed Tommy Briggs' masterful twirling with sixteen runs, to blast fireballer Ron Pierson and his cowboys, 16-O. At Pearl, Coach Ross called on lefty Tom Dunton to stifle a power-packed Roosevelt squad. But Dunton, later preceded by Willy Ostrem, second baseman, was rocked by a torrid assault, and the squad was handcuffed, 16-1, by the Teddies and their ace, Mike Sirang. The Rossmen then faced the evenutal champs, Central, on their own field. Towering Carl Thomas and Briggs locked horns in a magnificent pitching dual for five innings, but Cen- tral eventually won, 9-2. At Nicollet, the Orange evened their record at two-two by trimming Southwest, 8-6, behind Dunton. Johnny Nyquist paced the attack with a home run and single. West, whom the Millers beat the first game, came back to blast the team, 5-4. The only bright spot in the game occurred when Jerry Dousette got five hits in five times at bat. Roosevelt administered Washburn's fourth win, 9-4, at Sibly. Tom Dunton and Bob Collias blasted home runs off the Ted- dies' Sirang. Dunton took the hill against Central, but the Pioneers swamped the Orange, 19-3. Now, the squad journeyed to Southwest, and Coach Ross, building for next year, started Earl Johnson, a sophomore pitcher. The Purple edged the Millers, 4-3, despite Johnsonls home run. The Millers are returning five lettermen but are losing six others. The Orange, with their record of 2-6, are looking toward a better season next year, a season full of surprises and thrills. 3 'WY li'- Row One: Phillips, Cole, Meadley. How?

The netmen had beat seven teams and lost two to the top two, Central and Roosevelt. Central had placed first and Roosevelt second. ln the singles, the two returning lettermen, Captain Budd Meadley and Felix Phillips, won twenty-six matches. Felix netted fourteen to hold the team's high. Arlen Wolpert, another member of the '48 team, took twelve. The doubles didn't find Washburn as successful as the singles. They won twenty-one and lost eigh- teen. Those participating were Dick Erdall, Bill Whiting, Bob Cole, John Peterson, John Coulter, Eugene Lee, and Don Holton. All in all, the season was moderately successful. The competition was stiff. The team lived up to the Washburn tradition of turning out fine tennis players. This year the newly-elected captain, Felix Phil- lips, and his teammates, Dick Erdall and Bob Cole, will return to offer the other city teams some real competition. Nay, you shall find no boy's play here, GOLF Final standings for the '49 golf season were somewhat of a disappointment for Mr. Alwin and his second-place team. VVashburn defeated the team that won the championship, Edison, but the match was given to Edison on an old rule violation. The quality of last year's team can well be dem- onstrated by the fact that Washburn golfers placed first, second, and third in the medal play of the Star Journal Junior golf tournament. City golf coaches, around the circuit, all agreed that probably Washburn's captain, Ted Vicker- man, was the most outstanding golfer. The second position was filled by Pete Oberhauser. A very steady player around the greens was Fritz Roh- kohl, who ranked third man. Abe Kardong and Roger Fjelstud completed the first four. In the best match of the season, Washburn defeated high- ly touted title contender, Roosevelt, 7-5. Oberhauser and Kardong are the only letter- winners returning from last year's team. Ster- ling performances by unpredicted newcomers will be needed to equal last year's record. I can tell you. Heim, Bertelson, Oberhauser Capt., McDowell, Kardong, Harmon, Mr. Alum GIRLS' ATHLETICS Any gym period you happen to dr'op by 106, you can see the girls doing burpees, playing one of the many sports in which the homerooms compete, or doing forward rolls and headstands. The first is to keep, or try and get, a iigureg the second is practis- ing to win the school title, or at least beat the fac- ulty teamg and the third is the senior tumbling class, which was started last fall by Miss Thurston. Some gym classes begin the period with exer- cises. Then comes the practising of the sport of the day. In the fall and winter its speedball, volleyball, deck tennis, and basketball. The spring sports are baseball and badminton. The girls get ten points toward their W or city-wide emblem for each after-school game they play. They also get points for bowling, skating, skiing, tennis, golf, horse- back riding, and swimming. The requirements for a letter are: a minimum of 600 points, a C average, and no more than three seventh hours. For an em- blem 400 additional points are needed. A girl must be a member of G. A. A. in order to earn her letter. The G. A. A. Board officers are nominated by the previous board and voted on by all G. A. A. mem- bers. These of-Hcers then choose their board mem- bers from a list of W-wearers. All the intramural games are supervised by the G. A. A. Board mem- bers. The fall group was headed by Suzanne Ken- non, and Diane Loftsgaarden presided over the spring board. The officers, under the supervision of Miss Thurs- ton and Miss Bowen, set up the schedules, keep track of the records, and mark all points on the G. A. A. card of each girl in the school. Among the special activities of the board were the annual fall membership party, a tea for the teachers, a W banquet, and a tea for the home- room captains. The homeroom captains are elected by the girls in their homerooms and are responsible for getting the girls to represent the room in all intramural sports. The captains help to keep a record of the number of games played by each ol' their team- ma es. TUM BLING Row One: lfruen, Norton. VVang:xarcl, Ulnfson. Row Two: Meagher. Row Three: Balch, Kennon.
