It is a school, a high school, and a very beautitul one. lt otters many ditterent subjects, and has excellent teachers and wondertul tacilities tor learning. What is Washburn? It is the students that attend it. It is their laughter and joy, their sorrow and heartache. lt is a way ot lite tor them tor three years. And otten they start as boys and girls and leave as young men and women. What is Washburn? It is all the tun and happiness ot being young. It is the games and the dances, the parties and the clubs. It is the going steady and the breaking up, the tads and nonsense ot over one thousand comparatively care- tree teen-agers. What is Washburn? lt is music-the gay, noisy music ot the band at a football game-the slow, dreamy music ot the band at a dance-the tast, cheerful music ot the band at an auditorium program-the moving, majestic music ot the commencement program as the seniors wallc quietly toward their diplomas and a new lite. Yes, Washburn is music, and especially in this year ot championship tootball and basketball teams do we connect our school with music-the happy, rhythmic, wondertul music ot the school song as we add another victory to our list. So that is why we have dedicated our l955 Wahian to our school-and to its music. -The Statt. QFACULTY. . . 4 oMEMORIES OSENIORS . . I3 'ACTIVITIES o HOME ROOMS . . 45 o SPORTS . .

Yes, always busy are Mrs. Chesney, Mrs. Fautch, Miss Lund, and Mrs. Trowbridge. There is never a dull moment in this ottice trom the time school opens until three o'clock. Mrs. Trowbridge is always understanding, even though a student receives tour skip slips in one week. Mrs. Chesney, who handles the account books, never complains when she is torced to count out one hundred and one pennies tor U. C. or tor French Club dues. And, it is Mrs, Fautch who works long hours to post our wonderful grades on the permanent record cards. Miss Lund supervises everyone else and makes sure that things are running smoothly. In the center picture are our school nurse, Miss Sadie East- lund, and our visiting teacher, Miss Florence Donohue. Miss Eastlund is always ready to come to our aid, She treats every- thing trom the tlu to a cut knee. Her ottice is a good resort tor those who suddenly become ill before that hard chemistry test. Miss Donohue irons out all problems that arise between the home and the school. At the bottom we tind our two counselors, Miss Christensen and Mr. Evenson. What would we do around the hallowed halls ot Washburn without these two? What would National Honor Society do without such an able adviser as Miss Christensen? What would the seniors do it they could not seek out college information trom these two? What would everyone do it he didn't have someone to turn to when a subject was tailed? Yes, our counselors are a pretty important part ot Washburn I-ligh. Our thanks go to the ottice personnel, to the nurse and visit- ing teacher, and to the counselors tor all the help they have given us throughout the year.

THE BEST Many groups ot people working together keep Wash' burn running smoothly. Our etticient, hard-working lunchroom statl is one ot them, Miss Mcfune, lunch- room manager, is in charge ot cooking the noon meal tor hundreds ot hungry students and their teachers. Assisting her are Mrs. Fanning, Mrs. Werrell, Mrs. Speer, Mrs. l-loskins, Mrs. Peterson, and Mrs. Koll. Washburn's sound crew, aivery important organizaf tion, runs the projectors tor classroom movies and has charge ot the microphones and other sound equipment used in auditoriums and plays. They share a homeroom Iand fight energeticallyl with the stage crew. Their adviser is Mr. Pulver, and their otticers are Jim Ekstrom, president: Jack Rohner, secretary: and Don Nichols, treasurer. The student ottice statt assists the regular statt, and they have many duties. Among these are working the switchboard, tiling, stamping ot program cards and calling homes when a student is absent. The girls on the statt this year are Barb Modeen, Norma Urbach, Frances Woltl, Angela Pajerski, Mary Jane McDonald and Gloria Olson. The auditorium committee is something new at Washf burn this year. They audition prospective skits and acts tor our programs, and choose the best ones. This new way ot selecting auditorium programs pro- vides tor better ones with more centralized themes. The acts tor the I955 Homecoming show were chosen by this method, and most Washburnites agree it was the best that we've ever had. Mr. Pulver, who heads this group, took on many new duties when Mr. Krause lett this year. The auditorium committee was one ot them. The students on this coml mittee also serve as masters ot ceremony tor the dit- terent programs. QW WORK TO MAKE SCHOOL EVER The Washburn stage crew has charge ot props and lighting tor all ot Washburn's stage productions, in- cluding both school and evening pertormances. They also take care ot stage properties tor our regular audi' toriums. Mr. Pulver is adviser to this group which is such an important part ot our school organization. Almost every Friday one can tind the ticket sellers busily working in their booth across trom the lunch- room. They sell tickets to all Washburn's athletic events. The ticket sellers this year are: Marilyn Carlson, Sylvia Zwak, and Richard Thompson. The work program is otlered tor those seniors who wish to work part time and receive on-the-job training. These students go to school until ll:3O, then they eat and leave tor their jobs. During the hours they are in school they take English, occupational relations lthe equivalent ot modern problemsl and one elective, usually related to the trade which they are learning. This year there are seventeen boys and girls participat- ing in the work program. Miss Nash is the co-ordinator and works with the students. The student library helpers work in the library during their tree periods, They help shelve books and check them in and out. They also keep track ot the library passes and make sure that the study hall teacher re- ceives them. Washburn's library is one ot the largest ot its kind in the city and our librarians, Miss Brown and Mrs. Ducklow, need all the assistance they can get. The girls on the statt this year are: Anne Vorlander, Anne l-larrington, Kae Elias, Bobbie I-lahn, Randi Ar- lander, Sharon Elsenpeter, Ellen McDougal, Sandra Kelly, and Diane Christopher. Students interested in library work tind this very interesting and rewarding.

They all did a successtul job direct- ing our senior class. Being co-captain ot our tootball team and all city l-lifY president kept Jon busy. Bill played tootball and was active in l-li-Y. Reigning as Friendship Queen and home- coming attendant proved how really popular Di was this year. Our treasurer was an active member ot N.l'l.S. and one ot our attendants at homecoming. We, the class ot '55, elected these outstanding people to be our class ohficers. They have guided us through a very wondertul year. Our class ot I955 had three valedictorians and three salutatorians. The vals were Janice Carlson, Mary Anne Bell and Connie Nord. The sals were Carol l-lolmquist. Mary Bergtord, and Bob Beugen. As usual each was active in many clubs at Washburn. ' It was a deep thrill tor these people to experience this great honor. We, ot the senior class, congratulate them tor their achievement.

They represented their homerooms in these two leading organizations. Every Monday morning the Senior Board met to tallc over the problems ot the senior class. These representaa tives discussed our senior activities and voiced their home- rooms' opinions as questions were raised. Some ot these questions were: would we wear caps and gowns at com- mencement exercisesg where would we hold our com- mencement brealctastq and what would we eat at our class banquet? The Senior Board members have devoted their time and talents to guiding our class through a very suc- cesstul year. Money, money, money: that's all the Credit Bureau saw. Each semester the members ot the senior class paid dues. These dues covered the expenses ot all the tweltth grade students' activities at Washburn. The duty ot the Credit Bureau was to collect these dues. Collecting money isn't an easy task, but the members ot the Credit Bureau did so, correctly and cheertully. LEADERS. .COLLECTORS . .

TAKE AN ACTIVE STAND Applause rang out as the curtain came down on the Senior Class play, Time Out tor Gingerm. Everyone termed the pertormance ot looth casts a great success. Time Out tor Ginger centers around a family situa- tion, The two older girls are typical teen-agers, but Ginger is an exception. There is no accounting tor her, She insists that girls are equal to boys and to prove this, tries out tor the boys' tootloall team-and malces it! The play ends as Ginger decides that it is wiser to go out with boys than to compete against them. IN PRINCIPLE I BELIEVE- CLASS PLAY CAST Row I: Younger, I-lolmquist, Corson, Piclcctt Arcy, Day.

At 8:25 each morn- ing we gather to hear the bulletin read, to discuss the latest gossip, and to cram tor that tirst period test. Each semester we elect otticers tor the home room, and rep- resentatives to the various school organiza- tions. Prom our home rooms we disband to the various classes ot the day. Although many ot the sophomores bought elevator tickets betore they realized that there were no elevators, they adjusted to their new sur- roundings quickly. Many took new and dit- terent subjects such as biology and geom- etry. Others went out tor sports, and the sophomore tootball team won the city championship. They joined Latin Club and Spanish Club, Hi-Y and Silver Tri, G.A.A. and Quill Club, and lots ot others. ln tact, they joined so many clubs that their school work otten came in second best. The junior class was contronted with the usual junior obstacles, American history and Shakespeare. We all tell in love with William, as we sweated out our memory lines and wondered it we were Nto be or not to be -jseniors next yearlj XXfe took our seats on the tirst tloor ot the auditorium, and as we were gossiping in the shadow ot the balcony one day, a pall was taken ot the tavorite junior classes. As usual, the very tavorite class among the juniors was lunch! 46 II5 Row I: Mogck, Graham, truas.: Ptank, sac., Odcgard, Hagman, pres.

That certain teeling ot excitement in the air, the homecoming program with the crowning ot the lcing and queen, the victorious game, and tinally the homecoming dance--all these went to malce this day truly memorable. From the tirst period on, that Friday, the lcids could hardly lceep their minds on their studies. lThis happens to some ot us all the time, but that day at least we had an excusel Finally sixth period came, and the program began. Gary Sachs, l953 Homecoming King, was there to crown the queen, and as he strolled back and torth in lront ot the mix tinalists. the suspense grew. He tinally stopped and ottered his arm, and Fay Worth' man was Homecoming Queen ot I954. Then Ronelle Sinlem, chairman ot the Homecoming Committee, 58 crowned Fraser Bailey icing. The lring and queen made a very charming couple too, Their attendants were Diane Johnson, Diane Ronning, Stewart Hanson, and Dave Wiggens. The royalty tools their box seats on the stage and the show began. There were many acts. i'Hambonell and The Fu- neralw were two ot the slxits. There were also individual acts such as the Four Notes and Don Colon. A tew alumni were baclc to entertain us too. For the very tirst time in Washburn's history, the homecoming game was played at night in the Parade Stadium. The team really Gave Edison Their Medi' cine to the dose ot I3 to O. Although it was quite chilly, everyone torgot about the cold as we cheered our team on. We were very proud ot all the boys on the team that night. Amazed exclamations could be heard on all sides ot, Well, whaddya lcnowl Wash, burn tinally won a homecoming game!!! Then, tired but happy, we returned to Washburn tor the dance. The gyms were decorated with crepe paper, balloons, and sott lights. Everyone had loads ot tun as we danced and sang popular songs together. Yes, itlll be hard to torget Washburnis V954 Home coming!

CHEERLEADERS MAJORETTES FLAG TWIRLERS Is everybody set? You bet! Leading the school spirit this year were energetic cheerleaders headed by Dianne Ronning and Diane Bouchard. With new and old cheer, Washburn's spirit was brought into the open at all the various sports events. The majorettes and tlag twirlers were out on the tield as part ot the halt time entertainment tor all the home l?l tootball games. Pat Stanley was in charge ot both groups. l-lours ol practice, as well as pep and enthusiasm, make these organizations a detinite value to the school.

OVER THE RAINBOW ' Washburn is a wondertul school which I will re- member always, not only tor what I learned, but tor all the nice and triendly people I met. These were the words ot Francie Schoots trom Antwerp, Belgium. Alexander Koutaissott, Al, came to us trom Lau- sanne, Switzerland, and thought Washburn by tar the best ot the three schools he had attended. Ourania lReneej Papanastasiou trom Xanthi, Greece, wished she had been here tor more than nine months, but when asked what she liked best in the U. S., she ans swered, New York. lt is magniticentf' It was our friendliness which surprised Klaus Unterf holzner who lives in Tyrol, Austria, in the village ot Absam. Washburn was summed up by him as great and friendly. From I-lolland came I-lans Werre, who regretted missing so much ot the tootball season due to his late arrival. I-le enjoyed attending Washburn. -lWritten by I-lans Werre Francie Schoofs, Robert Schlegal, Hans Werre, AI Koutaissoff, and Klaus Unterholz- ner. 62 HI, FRIEND! Friendship Week is becoming an annual attair at Washburn. Itls usually held during the tirst month in the tall to welcome the sophomores and the returning juniors and seniors back to school. Everyone's job during this week is to make as many new triends as possible: the halls echo with heIlo's and hi's. This makes Washburn seem a lot smaller and less frightening to the sophomores. The climax ot Friendship Week was the Friendship Dance which was held Friday, September 24. We won our tootball game with Vocational that atternoon, so everyone was really in a triendly mood. The Friendship King and Queen were Jon Spolum and Diane Johnson, and they demonstrated the true spirit ot triendship by going into a I-lollywood-type clinch. Their attendants were juniors, Donna Casperson and Bruce Sachs: and sophomores. Barb Utton and Jim Butlington. This was a 'iitting end to a wondertul week. Would that every week could be Friendship Week! THE SPIRIT OF FRIENDSHIP -gem. sw ws, si r gg we NOWHERE CAN YOU GET THAT HAPPY FEELING-WHEN YOU THERE'S NO BUSINESS No, theres absolutely nothing like it, as both the Millwheels cast and the Wahian Staff tound out this year, They both worked hard and long and produced excellent shows. Millwheels presented a variety show woven around a theme trom Charlie's Aunt, starring Mickey Edwards and Parker Cramer, They teal tured a South Seas number involving a great many girls in sarongs, which the audience liked immensely. IEsbecialIy the masculine halI.I The Wahian show, entitled This is Washburn? was a detinite success, and had its audience rolling in the aisles. It teatured acts trom years gone by and was M.C.ld by Mike Olson, whose ad libs greatly added to the show. LIKE SHOW BUSINESS ARE STEALING-THAT EXTRA BOW!

Many ol the costumes were quite amusing, and allot them were very twinny, They included everything trom Bermuda shorts to nightgowns. One ot the highlights ot the evening came when lovely Carol Goulet, who graduated trom Washburn in 53 and was V954 Homecoming Queen at the Univerf sity ot Minnesota, arrived with her date, Bob Mc- Namara, to crown the twinniest twins. Bob, a tootball hera trom Minnesota, was a subject ot interest to all the girls present. Diane Schwartz and Bob fron had the twinniest school clothes, while Kathy Morgan and Ron Kvalle wore the best costumes, Everyone had Tun. DOUBLE TROUBLE! TWO OF A KIND If BLUES IN THE NIGHT Blues In The Nightj' the dance given by the Wahian Staff on December 3, turned out to be a smashing success, both socially and tinancially, The Statt cleared one hundred seventy dollars, which went toward sixteen additional pages in this boolc. Both gyms were used tor this dance. The girls gym was completely hung with sparlsling blue stars, and loolred just beautitul, thanlcs to the worlc ot Liz Wtur- man and the lrids that helped her. There were blue spotlights, also, to help the dancing couples get in the mood. Janet Bowdenis idea ot turning the boy-Q gym into a coke garden proved to be a wonderful suc- cess, The couples had a chance to sit down and relax while taking that tpause that retreshesf hlaltway through the evening there was a Lindy fon- test, and winners Barb Ryan and Greg Willitim-. were crowned Icing and queen. Many couples proclaimed this lithe best dance weive ever been tof and ol course the Wahian Statt agreed, RHYTHM IN BLUES A BLUE MIRAGE 65 A WASHBURN'S WINTER WONDERLAND SHALL WE DANCE. .OR SING? The Saturday night ot the annual Washburn Winter Formal was very cold, and several corsages couldnlt take the strain. Most ot them, however, arrived in good shape. The dance was on January 29, at the Calhoun Beach Club. Niclc l-luble's band provided the music, and hundreds ot lovely tormals provided the atmos- phere. Everyone unanimously declared the dance to be the most wondertul Washburn has ever had, and the sen- iors were especially carried away in their praises. The dance was very crowded, with a larger turnout than usually shows up at our tormals. This, ot course, made the dance very successtul trom the tinancial standpoint. llt made a lot ot moneyll There were the usual number ot 'lColcetail partiesl' before the dance and atterward many ot the couples congregated at the Rainbow in large and hilarious groups. Everyone will remember this dance tor a long time to come. 66 Hallelujah, hallelujahf' sang the Christmas Chorus, and the audience rose to its teet as the lovely music ot the Messiah ended another Christmas concert at Washburn. Somehow, it seems as though the Christmas music gets more beautitul each year, at least to the students listening. Washburn's Christmas Chorus is excellent and very awe-inspiring, with the center section completely in white: the outside sections in darlc colors. Directed by Mr. Bolewine, the chorus starts rehears- ing early in November. As the weary students drag themselves out ot bed in time to be at school by 8:00 in the morning, they wonder it anything is worth it. But when they tinally stand in the blue light, singing, they lcnow it was worth every minute. Besides the stu- dents and their parents, many other people trom the neighborhood come to hear the concert, tor it is known throughout the area. Q , .a sf I x 1.-S'-4 ' Xu!

' INDUCTION OF NEW MEMBERS LEADERSHIP ' CHARACTER ' To be chosen a member ot this distinguished organi- zation is really an honor. Under the direction ot Miss Christensen, new members are inducted biannually in the spring and the tollowing tall. To be eligible tor membership a student must be in the top twentyftive per cent ot the class and possess these necessary qualitications: character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Approximately titteen per cent ot the top quarter is chosen 'lor membership. In the spring ot l954, thirtyftwo members ot our present sen- ior class were inducted and this tall thirty-tive addif tional seniors were honored. A special auditorium was held in the tall and again in the spring. Both times each 70 'Wy T Lower ' Row I: Ripley, Baird, Holst, Bergtord, Christianson, Hird, Oberbillig.

' SWEETS FOR THE SWEET SCHOLARSHIP ' SERVICE new member was escorted to the stage by a student who was already a N.I'l.S. member. National I-Ionor Society is primarily a service organi- zation. Members are called upon to usher at school tunctions and talce charge ot the coke concession at the tootball games. A student inducted into N.l-LS, is merely on a trial basis. I-le does not become a tull-tledged member un- til atter graduation. I-Ie then becomes a member tor lite. The meetings were held during school time, usually once every two weelcs. All students agree that become ing a member ot lNI.l-I.S. is one ot their greatest thrills. REPRESENTATIVE STUDENT BODY LEADERS The Student Council is an organization ot represen- tative students trom each tenth and eleventh grade homeroom, the Senior Board members, and a tew mem' bers at large. These students, chosen tor their reliabil- ity and leadership, attend all council meetings. The members report to their constituents the accomplish' ments ot the council. The primary tunction ot the council is to tormulate plans suitable to the student body. The council this year sponsored the tabulous winter tormal, the home' coming dance, and many other all-school activities. -Some ot these activities were conducted iointly with the P.T.A. Other than social attairs, the council organ' ized the successtul March ot Dimes campaign and the Community Chest drive. Does Washburn want student government? Attempts. have been made to start student government here, but so tar they haven't been too successtul. Weire all hoping next year will tind student government a reality at Washburn. Second semester otticers were: Larry Pearson, pres.: Errol Kantor, v. pres.: Mary lo Stevens and Dee Dee Seidel, secretaries: Jerry Jorgenson, treasurer.

We donlt know how we did it! We planned our layouts and picture schedules, and sud' denly-there were pictures to mount! The conversation went something like, l-ley, you can't put that picture there! You're cutting ott that guys head! And the answer, Hfkw, what do I care? lt isn't my head!!! But tinally our pictures, with a reasonable number ot heads in each, were mounted, and we went on to the joys ot copy-!'That!s one line too many! Type it over!!' Then a black cloud began torming over our heads, and eventually it exploded into Wahian Auditorium! For a tew weeks one could hear the unmelodious groans ot '!lt's just a tad!!-Mlm sure glad! trom one part ot the room, the school song being sung lmurderedll backwards trom another part, and the tloor creaking trom seven small girls doing the Charleston in a third. Needless to say, our show was a great success. We got the last word typed and the whole mess down to the printer in time to make our tinal deadline -in tact with six and one-halt minutes to sparefand then rushed home, panting, to recover during Easter vacation. Anyway, we put out a Wahian, and its pretty good, don t you think? 72 THE 'ILLUSTRIOUS' GRIST STAFF Anyone sauntering by room 220 during sixth period might iust possibly mistake the group ot people tor a newspaper statt. Every two weel4s a paper tound its way into the hands ot the student body and oddly enough it seemed quite popular. Seriously, though, the Grist statt really put in a lot ot time and hard worlc on their paper. Pasting parties occurred regularly every other Tuesday. Many amusing inci- dents resulted trom the trequent trips to the printers, like the time Mary Jane met the l'French lover. The statt also produced something else besides a newspaper-a blossoming romance between Carole and Bruce. Mike Glson and Parker lcept them- selves busy tiguring out the latest sports predictions. Their auditorium and successtul Sadie Hawkins' Dance were highlights ot the year. PAGE EDITORS Row I: Edwards, Ryan, W't'rly, Carlson, Rosenthal, B.-li, Yorungrun.

The Language Department here at Washburn has much to offer in the line of extra-curricular activities. Fortunately, we have four active language clubs in- cluding German, French, Latin, and Spanish. Each has many fine things to offer members. One of the outstanding events of the year achieved by the clubs was the successful Continental. lt was an informal affair, with square dancing, social dancing, and refreshments. Tag Day was also a cooperative ven- ture among the four clubs. The aim was to raise the six hundred dollars needed for the support of an ex- change student. GERMAN CLUB, the smallest but not the least ac- tive of the language clubs, met twice a month to con- duct business. The Christmas party was one outstanding event in the year. A tree was decorated in the tradi- tional German style and gifts were presented to each member by Sanlct Nilcolaus. The high point of the year was the progressive din- ner party. Each member donated food, and the guests traveled to five homes for the full meal. ln lceeping with the tradition, the juniors gave a senior-farewell banquet. The seniors were guests of honor and all the planning was left to the juniors. Rousing German folk songs were sung at every meet- ing and typical German food was served for refresh- ments. FRENCH CLUB, with the largest membership, had a successful year also. During the absence of Miss Gear, Mrs, Palmer, Miss Laird, and the officers carried on, planning interesting meetings. The initiation of new members is always an occasion and this year was no exception. Eighty new members were inducted in No- vember and were given their fleur de lis. The French Club breakfast was successful financially as well as socially, One hundred and two members en- joyed hot rolls and cocoa served in the lunchroom be- fore classes. Entertainment was also provided. DU, DU, LIEGST MIR IM HERZEN LE CERCLE FRANCAIS DIE DEUTSCHE VEREIN LATIN CLUB, with its forty-five members, enjoyed many interesting meetings this year. Some of the out- standing ones included a riotous game of Scrabble played in Latin. Several new words were added to the Latin vocabulary that day! A Christmas party was also held where members exchanged inexpensive gifts and sang carols. Miss Nash entertained at one meeting by showing her slides of Europe. Miss Laird's charming and witty personality livened up every meeting. The Latin Club of l954 really had a tremendous year. SPANISH CLUB, under the direction of Mr. Dunn, has made great strides this year towards improving and enlarging the club. One of the outstanding achievements was the pub- lishing of a newspaper in Spanish. An enjoyable Christ- mas party was also given. Plans were made to corre- spond with some of our South American neighbors. Mr. Dunn's love for languages made him an ideal adviser for Spanish Club. Although this was Mr. Dunn's first year teaching at Washburn, he took over Spanish Club and gave it a real boost.

THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD Washburn students are indeed fortunate to be able to say they are the only school in the city that puts out a literary magazine. Poplars contains the orig- inal worlcs ot some ot the literary enthusiasts here at Washburn. lt combines poems, short stories, and essays into a compact magazine ot interest to all the stu- dents and taculty. When the subscription drive opens, every home room tries tor one hundred per cent. The publishing ot Poplars is an annual project ot the Quill Club. Although most ot the statt are mem- bers ot Quill, any student is welcome to submit his worlc tor publication. The completed magazines are distributed to the student body outside under the poplar trees late in May. 78 Almost every high school has an active writing club and Washburn is no exception. Quill Club provides an outlet tor all aspiring novelists, reporters, and greeting card jingle writers. lt is especially popular among sen- iors who tind the experience helptul when they reach college. The activities ot Quill Club this year were numerous and varied. Atter Toni tinally collected all past dues, a brealctast was held at school. At some meetings they had guest speakers, while at others they read manu- scripts. Erequently members brought their Hmaster- pieces' to read aloud tor the others. All aspirations tor a writing career were then shattered by the worthy panel ot critics. RED CROSS AND JUNIOR ACHIEVERS SUCCESSFUL Red Cross took an unusually active part in the attairs ot Washburn this year. The annual Red Cross drive was a big success, thanks to excellent promotion and organization. The Bucket Bounce, a stag dance, was one ot the money raising schemes. Carole I-Iird and Bruce I-Ialgren earned the title ot Jack and JiII'l by collecting the most money at the dance. An audi- torium was presented to open the drive. Two ettective movies were shown picturing how Red Cross contribu- tions are used all over the world. Miss Thurston acted as adviser ot this group. She was kept busy thinking up new and ditterent plans tor Red Cross meetings. Filled with contributions trom Washburn, two chests were sent overseas containing many necessities.

J.A. companies are tormed with about twenty members in each. Their organization is patterned atter that ot large corporations with a presiv dent, vice president and a board ot directors. There were tortyfthree companies in the city. Each company met one night a week. They made everything trom pictures to disintectant lamps. The law-making body ot J.A. is the cityswide Achiev- ers' Association, made up ot the vice presidents ot the companies. The president this year was Dave John- ston, a senior here at Washburn. Although this was only his tirst year in J.A., Dave handled the job like a veteran, The I953 and I954 Association presidents were trom Washburn also. prts., Ferguson, pres.: Vine, Bnnncll, McNurlt'n, Rahili, Miss ch, Johnston, Vorlandcr, Stcnstrom, Bowlrr, Row 3: Gould, tvn Bvnzcl, Huidelberger, Edwards, Rrtscott, Ronning, Messingcr, I-Iassctton, Engberg, Hubbard, Pairrski.

Last spring Washburns versatile musicians, under the able direction ot Mr. l-legg, won an A rating in the State band competition. This year they were showered with compliments when they played everything trom The Stars and Stripes Forever to ML Sandman. The band has many important jobs, the most sig- niticant being that ot playing at the beginning ot the auditoriums. During halttime at the homecoming game the band entertained by displaying tormations and marching routines. The bright orange and blue uni- torms ot the band members were a tamiliar sight at the baslcetball games. The beating ot the drum cer- tainly lcept the tans cheering. Williams' Arena was really made to Shake, Rattle, and Roll. We at Washburn are proud ot our many musical ORCHESTRA groups, and the orchestra ranlcs near the top ot the list. It has only twenty-tive members, but in music, quality counts more than quantity, and our orchestra certainly has quality. They are really a talented group ot musicians. These students could be heard practicing every tourth period: otten the third lunch people came into the auditorium to listen. Their music was enjoyed in spe- cial concerts and at the class play. For the State Music Contest the orchestra, under Mr. Hegg's direc- tion, played the ditticult Symphony No. 5 in C Minor. Several soloists were also entered in this con- test. The orchestra otters a tine opportunity tor young, promising musicians. Row I: Sundelius, S. Delin, Stephan, Speidcl, Lingwall, Brown, Odegard, N.

Pep Club is made up ot a group ot vivacious girls whose purpose it is to create and maintain school spirit at all athletic events. They can be easily recognized by the bright orange and blue pompons they wave. They shout themselves hoarse when we're winning and cry real tears when we're losing lwhich never happened this yearll The Millerettes, Washburn's answer to the Roclcettes, was a project ot Pep Club. During halt time at the basketball games, practically everyone re- mained in his seat to watch the Millerettes pertorm their dance routines. Many cheerleading candidates come trom the ranlcs ot Pep Club. CHEER FOR THE ORANGE AND BLUE! .fx A ...Q l-li-Crusade, tormerly known as Christian Fellowship, is a group ot Wash- burn students who meet together tor religious fellowship. The purpose ot Hi- Crusade is to promote taith and triendship among teen-agers. The year's activities included meetings, discussion groups, and social at- tairs. One ot l-li-C's biggest activities from the standpoint ot attendance, was a joint meeting with the West and Ramsey clubs. Seventy-six students watched an ettective movie ot Billy C1raham's London Crusade. Other activ- ities included Diggers' Meetings, where the Bible was studied, a tea tor the mothers, a Christmas party, and caroling. An all-city banquet at Mount Olivet Church rounded out the yearls activities. 8I BOYS JOIN THE ACTIVE HI-Y'S SPRING HI-Y CABINET Row I: Jensen, v. pres.: Hanson, pres.: Werre, treas.

The active Washburn I-Ii-Y is primarily a service or- ganization whose motto is to create, to maintain, and to extend throughout the home, school, and commu- nity, high standards ot Christian character. The vari- ous clubs met every Tuesday night during the school year at a members home. Every meeting began with the reciting ot the I-Ii-Y purpose, tollowed by a short business meeting and refreshments. The high point ot the entire year was the snow party at Camp lhduhapi with most ot the I-Ii-Y'ers attending. 82 The I-Ii-Y groups give service in many ways. At Thanks- giving time many ot the clubs sent tood baslcets to needy families. During the pre-Christmas season every member participated in the Y's Mens Christmas tree selling campaign. Many I-Ii-Y members were lead- ers in Gray-Y tor fifth and sixth grade boys and in Junior I-Ii-Y. At Easter the I-Ii-Y, Blue Tri and Silver Tri groups jointly sponsored an Easter service held at St. John's Lutheran Church. I-9 Row I: Mvdcalr, Burfrngior, Lux Hanson Wrggrns.

AND BLUE TRI U.C., which stands tor Upper Class, is one ot the all- girl organizations at Washburn. lt is primarily a service group made up ot junior and senior girls. Meetings were held twice a month, highlighted by speeches, dis- cussions, and retreshments. One ot the outstanding speakers was a policewoman who gave many interest- ing tacts and experiences. The traditional Thanksgiving project was carried out by sending tood baskets to two needy tamilies in the city. Among U.C.'s many projects was one which we all appreciated: the club kept us supplied with the needed book covers at the beginning ot each semester, U.C. girls also acted as ushers at many school events and had charge ot the girls' powder room. Every other Tuesday evening the sound ot horns honk- ing and laughing voices announced BLUE TRI night in the neighborhoods around Washburn. The indi- vidual chapters met in the homes ot members where business was conducted and refreshments served. Many times joint meetings were held with other chapters and also with I-li-Y chapters from other schools. 86 The high point ot the year was the International Fair sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. organizations. Each chap- ter took part by either bringing 'food or supplying entertainment. A style show was also held with one girl representing each chapter. Another big event was the Twin Dance held in February. The Twiniest Twins were crowned by tormer Washburnite Carol Goulet and her date, Bob McNamara. The Senior Farewell was one highlight ot the year. SILVER TRI, made up ot the enthusiastic sophomores, had a good year also. Miss Minty was the well-liked adviser ot this group. She worked with the cabinet members planning tun and good times tor the sopho- more girls. The traditional father-and-daughter banquet was held at the Y.W.C.A. The highlight was square dancing led by a professional caller. A mother-and-daughter tea was also held. Many ot the Silver Tri girls partic- ipated in a fashion show to entertain their mothers. A Spring Dance was given in April. Silver Tri girls also took part in the International Fair by presenting a ter- ritic talent show. U.C.

GRIDDERS COP FIRST Cllgmpignglqip HWASHBURN WINS FIRST TlTLE, this seemed to be the headline in all the newspapers this fall. The city high school race opened with a preview game held at the Parade Stadium. ln this game Washburn showed possibilities of being one of the top teams in the city. Washburn's first foe was North, and with determina- tion, spirit, and drive we outplayed North to the score of I2-2. The Millers scored twice in the first half and only allowed a safety during the rain-soaked second halt. Washburn continued its terrific early season pace by shutting out an invading Vocational 40-O. Sundin was the only Orangeman scoring twice in this game, other T.D.'s were made by Hanson, l-lennessey, Melena and Moore. In the third contest, Washburn completely over- whelmed South 28-6. ln this game we suffered the loss of veteran left end Stu Hanson. A highlight of this game was Sundin intercepting a pass and running IO2 yards for a touchdown. With Sundin grabbing passes as he grabs rebounds in basketball, the undefeated Orange conquered West 39-6. Sundin scored four touchdowns. Jon Spolum and Tom l-lennessey added to the run-away touchdown parade. The fifth game was our homecoming game. Wash- burn lived up to the homecoming slogan, Give Edison Their Medicine, by defeating Edison I3-O before 94 9,280 fans at the Parade Stadium. This moved Wash- burn within one victory of the school's first city high school football championship. Washburn clinched the football championship by de- feating I-lenry 27-7. ln the last fourteen seconds of this game Jon Spolum suffered a painful dislocated shoulder. Washburn saved all its errors for the last game of the season and was defeated by St. Paul Central 27-7 in the Twin City championship game. The Millers in losing their first and only game of the season were plagued with costly mistakes, but Coach l-lelling said, This is the best team l have ever coached. This is quite a compliment because Mr. l-lelling has coached many good teams. Washburn came up with a place-kicking specialist this year. The Toe lPat Sweeneyl, totaled eight ex- tra points..The unbeaten eleven also had three starters this year who were outstanding at throwing passes. These three, Clyde Smith, Jon Spolum, and Gordie Sun- din, became known as the S-bomb boys. Gordie Sundin, Washburn's champion scorer and right halfback, was named by the Minneapolis Star Most Valuable city high school football player for l954. The I954 All-City Football team named four Wash- burn players, Bernie Palmer, I-larry Jensen. Jon Spolum, and Gorclie Sundin.

CAGERS TAKE CITY, Washburn, completely dominating the city basket- ball league, won tor the Orange and Blue its second city championship ot the year. In 1955, with an out- standing record ot ten wins and no deteats, the squad gave Coach Ray Ross his fifth city championship, but it was the tirst time his Washburn team went unde- teated. ln doing this, Washburn broke the city record tor the total number ot points tor the ten season games. The record was previously 567: it now stands at 656. The Millers started the season against a small Vo- cational tive with a 60 to 22 win. They quickly put themselves in the driver's seat ot the city basketball race. The scoring was well distributed as twelve ot tit- teen players made the point column. In the next two games the Rossmen walloped both Edison and West. Against Edison the Orange racked up a 78 to 50 victory. When they played West, the score was 78 to 52. This was the tirst deteat tor the Cowboys in what was supposed to be a close game. The next tour games proved to be won as easily as the tirst three games. The Millers won out over Cen- tral 65 to 32. lt was in this game that they shot 442 IOO DISTRICT, REGIONAL by making 24 out ot 54 shots. This was their best shoot- ing game ot the year against all opponents. Southwest was NXfashburn's next victim, and they proved this with a handy victory ot 57 to 42. Winning their sixth straight victory, the Orange struck with revenge against North. The score was 66 to 39. Sundin and Michael- son each scored I3 points to lead the way to victory. Next were the Tigers trom South, and they, too, tell to the mighty machine trom Washburn. The Rossmen beat the Tigers 72 to 49. Pat Sweeney and Stu Hari- son both hit 7 tield goals as they scared I8 and I7 points respectively. Washburn got its biggest scare ot the season when upset-bound l-lenry nearly beat the Orange. But, Washburn came out on top 56 to 50 in this exciting game. In the next game the quintet came back from their shooting slump and walloped Marshall to the score ot 52 to 39. In their last game ot city league play against Roosevelt, played at Williams Arena, the Washburn team played what Mr. Ross said, was their best game ot the season. This was the tirst time the Millers had beaten the Teddies in three games in the last two years. The score was 72-49. It was a Titting way tor the Millers to begin their state tournament play. and MIB . Washburn started its piayott march in the district with very decisive victories over South and Edison by the scores ot 7I-28 and 69-27 respectively. Then they went up against a tighting quintet trom Marshall. Once the Millers got rolling there was no stopping them as they beat Marshall 6I-34. They advanced into the regions where they met Monticello. Washburnis detense was very tough in this game and this was a deciding tactor in the 84-64 score. By beating St. Louis Parlf 65-47 Washburn established itselt as one ot the best teams ot the state. Washburn was a tavorite along with Austin going into the state and it went the way the experts pre- dicted it. Washburn breezed by Morris to the semi- linals by the score ot 7l-50. Washburnis win over a time New Prague tive, 65-48, was due mostly to the detensive iob done on Ron Johnson, New Pragueis all- state center. The outcome ot the Washburn-Austin game was decided at the tree throw line, where Wash- burn made 23 out ot 30 tree throws while Austin missed I8 tree throws, The game was undecided in the third period when l-lanson, Michaelson, and Sundin had tour touls. It was then Dave Wiggins came ott the bench to lead the Millers, with Pat Sweeney. to a 67-58 vic- tory.

Row 2: Sherman, captain: Werre, Anderson, Ek' The Washburn swimming team, which had eight re- turning lettermen, got ott to a tast start this year. Atter having eight consecutive victories the Tankers were rudely upset by North and City Champion Roose- velt. Still the team tinished in third place with an 8-2 record. Captain Dave Sherman led the way through two YMCA meets in which the trogmen tinished with one third place and a tie tor second in the last meet. After these two meets the next story was the big city meet in which Washburn, North, and Roosevelt all tinished with three tirst places each. For Washburn, Brian An- derson came through with a lirst place in the back stroke. l-le was joined in the winners' circle by our med- ley relay team composed ot Bruce Coe, Chuck Norris, and Dave Sherman. Chuck Norris was our other winner. During the year, Chuck set a school record ot l:96.9 in his specialty, the breast stroke. l-le also was the only team member to quality tor the tinals ot the state. l-le swam well enough to win a second place medal-quite good tor a tellow who just started swimming two years ago. The standout ot this year's team other than Norris and Sherman was Jim Norris. l-le placed third in the city and is only a sophomore. The medley relay team, composed ot Don Brown, Fraser Bailey, Gene Motsick, and Jerry Jorgenson, was very good too. Bill Crandell and Dick Wagner also added points to the total ot Washburn's scoring. -2-X BASEBALL TEAM Row I: Farmer, Councilman, Kuhn, Nicholson, Wiggins, Metcalt.

BASEBALL TEAM TIES FOR SECOND IN '54 The l954 edition ot Coach Ray Ross's baseball Mil- lers had a rather disappointing year. The Millers ended the season with a record ot tive wins and three set- backs. This record, though not great, was good enough to tie tor second place in the Southern Division ot the City High School League. The team was led by star and Captain Bob Boylan, who was selected as catcher on the All-City Team. Bob was selected tor his tine sportsmanship, leadership, and ot course, his territic baseball abilities, which helped the team on many occasions. Larry Farmer, along with Bob, supplied many timely hits to bring in runs tor the team. Other highlights ot the year were Gordie Sun- din's long homeruns and Pat Sweeney's outstanding catches. All these tactors led to a most interesting sea- son, Although the loss ot Bob Boylan and outtielders Bud Volkman, Larry Farmer and Jon Nicholson will be great, Ross says, The prospects ot this year's team look quite good. Gordie Sundin and Pat Sweeney captained a title bound l955 squad. Washburn had by tar the best pitching statt in the city, It was led by Jon Spolum, Gordie Sundin, and Tom DuBay. Spolum threw regu- larly now that his arm had healed. Gordie as well as being one ot the best hitters in the city, was also one ot the hardest and tastest throwing pitchers around town. I-le has a territicly tast ball that whizzes past many opposing batters. Tom is a good reliet pitcher and can tool many a batter with some ot his slow pitches. The leading hitters ot the Washburn team were Dave Wiggins, Pat Sweeney and C-iordie Sundin. All three had a .375 batting average or better last year. The intielding tasks were handled mainly by Stu l'lan- son, Jack Medcalt, Pat Sweeney and Dave Wiggins. John Councilman led the outtielders. The players were looking torward to a successful season this year and were also seeking another title. BOB BOYLAN . . . ALL-CITY CATCHER 'ISM' ,AI DIVCT DIGGERS The I954 golt team, under the direction ot Mr. AI- win, had quite a successtul season last spring. They tinished third with a record ot tive wins, three losses, and two ties. The team was captained by Tom Pear- son, who is one ot the top golters in the city this year. Dell Fystrom, this year's captain, led a very strong team, composed ot Mike Olson, Dennis George, Lee Chapman, Bob Farrington, Bruce Ellingston, and John Campbell. With all the members back from last year's team, Coach Alwin stated in an interview early this year, We should tinish in the upper halt, and near the top. With Tom, Dell, and Mike we should have about the best and the top three men in the city. As tar as all around balance, this team will be just about the best ever to represent Washburn. 4 1 I I I I I I I GOLF TEAM Fystrom, captain: Farrington, Gcorgv, Qlson, Pearson, Mr. Alwin, coach. . .RACKET SQUAD The I954 Washburn's tennis dynasty set a very high standard tor this year's team to tollow. Led by the Gould twins, the racket men ran up a record ot 37 wins in a row in city competition. Their non-conterence win- ning string was snapped by Edina. The Hornets de- teated the Millers 3-2, Atter that upset the team came back and won the Twin City Championship 5-O trom St. Paul Central. Mr. Curtis stated, With the addition ot Neal Op- sted, Hans Werre, and Dick Ellis to go along with Captain Mickey Edwards, we should have just about the top three single players in the state. Captain Mickey Edwards said, We shouldnt lose any this year in the city, and I hope we knock ott Rochester tor the state title. TENNIS TEAM Row I: Opstad, Edwards, Mr. Curtis, coach: Ellis, Kantor.
