I We remember West Seattle alums and under-grads now in service as they looked in sport coats and cords, or muddy from football practice.

M-, 'm,,A Jnfmw Ad The impersonal ringing ot the 8:30 bell marks the opening of each day when the halls and the class rooms ot West Seattle High come to life. The chorus of slamming locker doors accompanies the eager soprano of girls discussing last Friday's dance. Senior boys drape themselves casually on the radiators and girls take a final glance in their locker mirrors. The teachers, loaded with books and bulletins, hurry to their classes. As the clock marks time patiently, the groups melt until the corridors are empty. The 8:40 bell rings and another day has begun.

They've forgotten that quiet brigade of men and women who fight side by side with their sons on the battlefields, not with gun and bayonet, no, but with Words and the truth. They are the silent soldiers who will go on long after this war is over, fight- ing for the principles basic to all American institutions. Yes, these are the teachers, the faculty, those who carry on the responsibilty of instructing Young America, guiding and teaching the children and 'teen-agers of today the ideals, culture and intelligence they must possess as adults and citizens of a peaceful world tomorrow. ,JM , AM W4 QZMZMM f6e4fffww1flcff pwfdlfndcb 110k 2 ggi -654 A 9 Principal 1 f Things happen fast these days. A fellow can be day dreaming in the study hall one week, wondering when the cute number two aisles over is going to look your way, and a week later you can be standing stiff with eighty other yardbirds, hop- ing against hope that that far-from- cute sergeant won't look your way. And six months later maybe you're taking your first sea voyage, won- dering whether Old Lady Luck has sold you a one-way ticket. You think back and wonder whether the easy-go-lucky, movie- going, rug-cutting days were well spent. You remember the top-grade work Bill lackson did in high schoolg he's taking officer training now. You recall lim Wallace, who always did a swell job in machine shop, he was selected for gunnery school. Fletcher and Murray and Raleigh are wear- ing stripes alreadyg they're on their way up. Yes, things happen fast these days. You think ahead - perhaps - to the day when the big argument is overg when boot camp and fox holes and dive bombings are things of the past. What will the job be then? Something where brain power comes in handy? Something where person- ality counts? Or will it be taxpayers' charity and apple-selling on the street corner? Cne thing remember: the public forgets its heroes in record time. You may be risking your life for the stay- at-homes today, but after the din of armistice you're no more than a tax- eater unless you'Ve got what it takes to remake your life in the light of the post-war world. Yes, things happen fast these days. -Reed Fulton Vice-Principal For twenty-five years this annual has delighted generations of West Seattle boys and girls with graphic reminders of the happy companion- ships of their high school days. When the 1920 annual initiated the series, there were boys in school who had served in the First World War. lt was then hoped the last War had been fought. Their generation failed in the wisdom needed to prevent the life-and-death struggle now going on. So we, their sons and daughters, are giving up our normal, free, peace-time living to take part in this Second World War. Many of us will never know again what happy peacetime living is. We who are giving our lives, wrote one high school Bombardier, want you who remain to use yours to start the world on its long journey back to the light. That Germany and lapan and their threats to our American Way of free cooperative control will go down in defeat we dare not doubt. But when the War ends, the ugly faces of our age-old enemies here at home will continue to leer at us. lntolerance, race and class hatred, selfish interference With the right of men to choose their own Way back to the light are not so soon de- stroyed. Against these enemies we need continually to arm our minds and fortify our hearts. Gnly so can the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness be made a prized pos- session of every honest-intentioned, cooperating mortal the world around. -A.

Working to Yankee Doodle Dandy and similar tunes, the typing classes develop rhythm in their typing, as Well as fa- miliarize themselves with the correct forms of letters and addressing envelopes. Learning to keep records and file accounts reguires a large amount of training. That is Why this year the lunior Business course was added to the Commercial Department. Besides this important study, bookkeeping is offered as an advanced opportunity in com- mercial work. L:!Zl:C,Ci1CZC1C The future Einsteins find the World of test-tubes, bunson burners and black rubber aprons a fascinating one, heroically disregarding the sometimes unbearable prod- ucts of their delving into the elements. And then there's the un- mistakable evidence dis- played in slide rules, egua- tions, and brainpower to prove that someone in the vicinity is a student of alge- bra, geometry, or trigonom- etry. Proving their interests in field trips, pollywogs, and the alimentary canal of sguid, the students of Zoology find out about the rest of the ani- mals in this World.

When was Marie Antoinette execut- ed? ls there a racial distinc- tion in America? That's right! lt's World History, American l-listory, Contemporary Prob- lems. All the exciting stories of the ages are answered in the study of these subjects. And that's not all. Whether it's realized or not, students of these studies are building in their minds the background they'll need in the future for intelligent citizenship. Yes, the most fascinating things they can know about are the struggles of countries, peoples and their problems down through the ages. There are teachers who have spe- cialized in these fields to thank for giving them the privilege of knowing about this world in which they live. Ci Appreciation and knowl- edge of fine music is taught these students who participate in programs for the rest of the school body. The value of developing an ear for this music promises to last well into the years to come. Bringing foreign relations closer, especially to fit in with the plans of the world to come, is the study of foreign lan- guages, courses which will draw all peoples together toward a common friendship. .Ci ff. fx Fa ulty ENGLISH DEPARTMENT l Miss Kirkpatrick, Mrs. McDonald.

But now the kids have grown up and know how to talk. They don't get that sink- ing feeling and twisted-up tongue that results from those spur-of-the-moment chats with oldsters. They know how to write, too. The future journalists, authors and champ letter writers enter these portals. And then, they have found real appreciation in fine literature. They know only too well that their minds require more than the Sunday comic section. Yes, they have grown up a lot-with the help of the Eng- lish department. 51515555 This year finds the physical education department adjust- ing itself to the rigorous de- mands of wartime, expanding the courses and training stu- dents to meet whatever pos- sible physical training ob- stacles they may encounter upon leaving school. Senior boys spent one hour a day wrestling, boxing, jump- ing obstacle courses and learning ludo, a form of Iu- litsu. Physical fitness also plays a large part in the program of the girls. Health Education, both for girls and boys when they are in their junior year, gives them the required study of the es- sence of healthful living. l INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT xi ML !

The boys in Auto Shop put education into practical use by repairing both their own and the teachers' automobiles. ln Wood shop they are mak- ing various articles on lathes, such as ash-stands and checker-boards for service- men confined in hospitals. Working on the Servicemen's Roster are the classes devoted to lettering, much of Whose time goes into fine printing for posters. Many of the students who have had the opportunity to study these interesting tasks Will find a future hobby in the training they have received. ij Representing those valu- able little things in the life of a school student are the staffs of the office, library and study hall, and those other stu- dents Who so willingly give their time. A place of guiet, Where thinking is best done, is the study-hall, where much time is also given by students for checking roll, making out slips for attendance and keeping records. Help and assistance is readily available for those who have trouble with their lessons. ln the office, girls who have had clear school records are chosen to help. Records of grades, absences and de- merits are kept for the con- venience of both the students and teachers. 15 Boys' Club Operating under a different sys- tem this semester, the boys have organized their committees during the study periods, for transportation and employment make it difficult for the boys to help with Boys' Club Work before and after school hours. Consequently, they have made this adjustment and have organized a major activity in each study period for the convenience of the boys. Period One: The activity of this period is Friendship This commit- tee Welcomes newcomers to the school by taking them around to their different classrooms and intro- ducing them to their respective teachers and classmates. The com- mittee is on the lookout for boys who are timid and urges them to par- ticipate in the different activities of the school. Contacts are maintained with boys absent because of illness or injury. Period Two: The organization of this period is called The Military Affairs Committee, Whose members are on the constant lookout for mil- itary literature to give out informa- tion on the different branches of the service. Period Three: These boys have the job of studying the present and BOYS' CLUB OFFICERS Bill Pederson, President: Pete Mcrrinovich, First Vice President: Mike Mohundro, Sec- ond Vice Presiclentg Bob Rodman. Secre- tary-Treasurer '11- ' future needs of employment of the boys in the schoolg they also investi- gate the different problems that arise on this subject. Period Four: Letters to Servicemen. This committee has an obvious pur- pose: the job to see that as many let- ters as possible are sent to the serv- icemen. Period Five: School Service. The boys of this study have a chance to offer their assistance to their school when Work is needed. lts chief serv- ice is lunchroom Work. Period Six: Community Service. The chief task of this committee is to organize the boys to be on call to do any odd jobs that the community Wants done. Mr. Hcmncrford, Boys' Advisor N LETTERS TO SERVICEMEN COMMITTEE Dick LaBelle.

Start- ing in September, our treasurer, Bar- bara Weaver, had charge of the department, the Administrative. Bar- bara graduated at the end of the semester, and Alta Nicholas was elected to take her place. The duties of this department center around the apartment with the following com- mittees: Election, Clerical, Installa- tion, Nurses' Aides, Minute Girls, Iunior l-lostesses, Apartment Clerks and Scrapbook. Ruth Staats, vice president, was head of the Entertainment depart- ment, ably assisted by Bryanette Shaffer. Plans for all parties, teas, and dances pass through this de- partment's hands, and the commit- tees that plan these events being Decoration, Refreshments, P. T. A. Tea, Mothers' Tea, Publicity, Art, Music and Talent, and P.T.A. Dance. With the start of the war, Girls' Club added a new department to its organization, with the Service for Victory. Doris Stobie, Girls' Club president, heads this all-important department, with Red Cross Service as its only committee. 18 GIRLS' CLUB OFFICERS Doris Stobie, President: Barbara Weaver.

Frank Osbun Crganized late in 1942, the Victory Corps has since become the veri- table life organ of West Seattle. Criginally consisting of five divis- ions, the corps has been reorganized and the divisions are now desig- nated as follows: All military and productions affairs concerning the school are handled by the Boys' and Girls' clubs. Community service is handled as an all-school project, every student in the school being an active mem- ber. Under the main heading, Victory Corps, is the Victory Corps Cabinet, Which, in effect, is the school's war cabinet. This cabinet consists of the student body officers, a faculty spon- sor, a student-sponsor, and student- appointed secretary. The major divisions are handled by the various classes in school. The Seniors are in charge of the Research division. This group is responsible for supplying the other divisions With 20 ideas for their groups, and also to bring in suggestions as to other activities the school can partake in to aid the War effort. The Research committee is also fundamental in de- veloping these suggestions to the point Where they are usable. Ken Lowthian, as senior chairman, handled this vital committee. The War Savings division of the Victory Corps has, since Ianuary of this year, been under the sponsor- ship of the lunior class. The division itself is divided into three principal committees: Pick-up, Research and Publicity. The Pick-up committee is under the management of Stanley Dorst plus seven other members who are in charge of collecting the War stamp sales forms every Thursday morning in the roll rooms. These forms contain a total purchase of stamps and bonds bought during the Week, the per capita and the percent- age of participation. The reports are then tabulated and the results posted in the office. A complete record of the total stamp sales per capita and the percent of participation for the entire school is kept for each week. The Research committee, headed by Ray lensen, is required to compile all available material concerning the war savings program and to report any new ideas that would spur the sale of stamps and bonds. At the present, the suggestion for a compe- tition between another high school besidesVV est Seattle is under consid- eration, and it is hoped that in the near future this plan will be a reality. The next committee's title is self- explanatory. The Publicity is under the leadership of Leroy Layton. lts function is not a consistent one, yet it is one of great importance. lts main task is to see that the student body is well informed as to the activities of the War Savings division and, through the various mediums of ac- tivity of publicity, such as the Chi- nook, the bulletin, etc. to spur the sale of stamps. lt is not the aim of this division, however, to encourage the spontaneous purchase of stamps by continuous drives, but rather to see a system of consistency on the part of the students. ln order to sus- tain this, the student council has adopted a plan of a 50 cents per cap- ita for each week, thus, in awarding the leep each week, the winning roll is determined solely on a percentage basis. The Sophomores, with Frank Young as their chairman, are in charge of Salvage. Their class was ff K I fi Ll l T rf' ,N I, ,.f 1 1 f ' yf'-'f X-' ,- 1, , ,,,, very active this year with their many campaigns. Cne of the most success- ful of these campaigns was the Civil War. The school was divided into sides, the North and the South. Mr. Fulton was the Northern general, while the Southern commander was Mr. Rowe. After an exciting battle, it was found that the Northern forces won by three-fourths of a battle! The Sohpomores also handled the fat drives, our weekly tin drives and the paper drive. - The Freshmen, who are in charge of Community Service, are headed by Mary Flack, since they had no representative of their own when they first came to West Seattle. Al- though they haven't had much time for anything but the planning of their committees, they show promise of developing into one of the corps' most active contributors. The four divisions mentioned above have been handled by the four class- es, however, the fifth division is handled by an individual. This divi- sion is Morale, with Frank Csbun as its capable head. This simplified form of the Corps with its five divisions has proved its worth, and the Victory Corps has be- come one of the smoothest working of all school organizations, through the combined efforts of Pop Hanna- ford and the division chairmen, as well as the students, who have taken an active part in the school's war effort. ! l i ' . - y IA, ' f' ' E181 Wx xr: .f 1 4 - - ...,,. -,i, Q 21 , x X ,I f -L ' F , , Y .Q .Y L, ' f CLASSES Lite at school begins with the sound of the 8:30 bell as l300 Freshmen, Sopho- mores, luniors, and Seniors enter the gates ot West Seattle, prepared for a day of Work and play. To the Freshmen, West Seattle is a new experience that they aren't quite used to yet, tor the Sophomores and luniors, the school is not so big as it seemed before as they are now better acquainted with their teachers and activities. To the Seniors, for Whom graduation time is drawing near, the day is filled with hard Work and service. The war has tapped many a boy on the shoulder this year and carried him oft to tight a war ot freedom tor mankind. But as long as the 8:30 bell can be heard above the roar oi War, West Seattle will open its doors to all classes. A W .W J fy f W JL 1 My ' W M 41 W J al It I I M fy K W V My X 1 fH .

We are looking forward with excitement to Senior White Day, Baccalaureate, Commencement and the Prom. Yes, we are the class of IQ44 and we are mighty, for we have made our class one of the best. But not all of those shy freshmen who entered those long halls are still sharing in the fun and work of being leaders of West Seattle. For the class of '44 is a war class, and as many of the boys reach their l8th birthday, the Army or Navy beckons and we say, Goodbye and good luck to the fellows that many of us have known since childhood. Yes, many of the boys are gone now, but their friends haven't forgotten them. Hardly a day goes by that the blue of the Navy or the brown of the Army isn't seen in the halls talking to their former teachers and friends. And so we leave now, that those who follow may have their turn to guide the school to higher goals. But we've set a record to be proud of and I speak for the class when I say that the school, the community and the city haven't heard the last from the Class of '44. I am proud to have been chosen the leader of such a group.

Qur answer was soon found when an enlarged Victory Corps assigned us the task of coordinating the sales of war bonds and stamps. VV' e immediately assumed the re- sponsibility connected with such an important activity, and through dif- ferent mediums succeeded in in- creasing the number of bonds and stamps purchased by West Seattle High students. Behind us lay many problems that were solved due to the energetic as- sistance of our competent class coun- selor and sponsor, Mr. Mackey, but those were problems connected di- rectly with school life. Beyond the horizons of next se- mester are numerous difficulties and responsibilities which will fall upon us as seniors. Our past record in- dicates we are capable of attaining the success of our predecessors, the class of '44, lf we should succeed it will inevitably depend upon the amount of school service we extend. ln preparation for our class' future career at W' est Seattle we must en- deavor to maintain our spirit of co- operation. l am certain that if the cooperation our class is capable of exhibiting is coupled with a desire to serve West Seattle, the continued success of our class will be assured. By sweeping the cobwebs from our memories we readily recall the fun we had at our dances, the excitement of the football, basketball, and base- ball games we watched, and the en- joyment of either participating or viewing our fellow students perform in the numerous assemblies which marked the past year. Nor can we forget that certain class we stumbled through or the time we worked with the orchestra and choir, or one of a dozen other different activities. And so with experience behind us, and our aims and ideals high, we step a round higher on the ladder to successg for the long-awaited jobs as seniors of our school belong to us.

Members of the Class of '46 have reached the mid-point in their high school careers. Behind lie two years of effort, ahead, two more, with graduation as the ultimate goal. ln time of war, emphasis falls upon work. To the sophomore of i943-44 work meant labor both inside and outside of school. The sophomore is in the thick of the fight to win this war. l-le buys war stamps, brings in tin, paper, books, and old clothes, sees to it that his mother saves waste fat, and takes part in other seemingly small but vital activities. lt is with extra pride that he participates in the salvage of war materials, for this he knows is the special war-time activity of his own class. His pride is justified. The soph- omore class has won high praise for its work in the field of salvage. The thoughtful sophomore may work outside of school in industry, commerce, or sellingg he supports the war time activities of his school, but he also redoubles his efforts on the scholastic front. By learning well the principles and lessons the school has to teach, the student prepares him- self for whatever may arise in war or peace. Whatever world conditions may bring, the future of the student depends upon how well he prepares now to meet that future. lf the time immediately ahead holds nothing but war, the student must be ready to give his body and mind to his coun- try. lf peace once again reigns when the present sophomore graduates, he has before him a two-fold task. He will need every particle of his intelli- gence to win a living for himself and those dependent upon him. ln addi- tion, he and millions of people like him will be called upon to solve the world's problems. lt is with thoughts such as these that the sophomore moves ahead. As the class motto indicates, the sopho- mores are moving Semper Pro- gredi.

Freshmen We the class of '47 are just starting up the hill of High School life. Com- ing from several grade schools and from lames Madison, we are deter- mined to make good. 'W e are looking forward to four more happy years of education before we go out to make our bid for a place in the world. Cur class is like a snowball that starts out small, but grows bigger and bigger as it rolls along. After we get acquainted with the school and its way of doing things, we will be taking part in more activities. Many of the boys will be future lettermen in track, football, golf, baseball, ten- nis and basketball. Cthers will be in the school's band or choir. The ma- jority of the remaining will be in the foreign language, math, and debate clubs. The girls will be clamoring for a chance to get in the Girls' Club, and other organizations that want eager and active participants. Corning from schools where such a large field of outside activities were not available, these sports and clubs are what we freshmen have been looking forward to ever since we started to school. From here on, our class pledges its loyalty and support to West Se- attle High, for in these days of war we realize the responsibilities falling upon us, the youth of today. The na- tion will be in our hands tomorrow, that is why we will strive to make these four years the biggest ones of our lives. We will develop our minds and bodies to the best of our abilities. Cne of our aims will be that after we are graduated, West Seattle High School will be a better school for our having been here. The class colors are Blue and Silver, and the class flower, the Red Rose.

You've studied hard, yet something is still missing. Your ladder ot success is not complete without high school activities. This ladder of success should have a step of athletics, Boys' or Girls' W Club, the fun of working on the Chinook or Kim- tahp the honor and distinction ot wearing a debator's or Warrior's sweaterp and even the dirty overalls of a stage crew hand.

My f l 415, Q, 53 x Senior Play Would-be actors of the Class of l944 proved themselves worthy of the title of Thespians when they presented lames Montgomery's com- edy Nothing But the Truth before capacity crowds December 3 and 4. Produced by that theatrical ge- nius, that great producer of superb extravaganzas, that man who builds start - Charles G. Pop l-lannaford Cnot a paid advertisementl, it was hailed as a success by critics Cand the plofyersl.

Also contributing to the success of the play was the hard working stage crew under the direction of Mr. Chamerlain. The make-up club, headed by Miss Phillips, wielded ex- perienced hands in the preparation of the actors for the stage. Miss Toz- ier ably handled the business end of the affair. Could handsome dashing Bob Bennett fthe hero! tell the absolute truth for twenty-four hours and win the ten thousand dollars so desper- ately needed by the lovely and charming Gwen Ralston Cthe hero- inel? That was the question as the plot unfolded amid the cheers Cand a few ieersb of the audience. E. M. Ralston fthe scheming villainb lost over S5lUU,UOO before the night was over and wound up in the proverbial dog house. Following the pattern of the old-time melodramas, the hero married the heroine, and the story had the almost necessary happy ending. PS. Bob Bennett won the Ten Thousand Dollars!!! CW CW The age-old feud of the city versus the country was revived in Elge l944 Pow Wow of March 22 and lt seems a ventriloguist from the big city CGerald Pitserb and his dummy CFrank Reidl were stranded in a forsaken burg known as Moses Lake. He and the troupe of perform- ers he was traveling with chal- lenged the local yokels to a talent show in which each was to present its best, the audience would decide the winner. The battle see-sawed back and forth for the first half of the program, but both nights the burlesque Huba- Duba dance presented by the coun- try tipped the balance. The eight exotic, gorgeous damsels were lerry Rowe, lim Zeller, Nels Lee, Walt lenson, Fred Potter, Roger McNutt, Pete Holzheimer and Bob Clithero. These priceless specimens of mascu- line pulchritude cavorted in big- time routines and all but stole the show. The city's talent included a song and dance by Freda Wing, Pat Porter and Pattie Lybeck singers, and Donalda Nash and her ma- rimba. The play of the city slick- ers was Love in Bloom by Pauline Phelps. Members of the comedy's cast included LaNaya Anderson, Frank Osbun, Freda Wing, Elsie White, Keith Cleveland, Dick Hal- vorsen, lane Nordgren, and Mary Wheeler. The country was ably repre- sented by the station agent CBob Clitherol and the local sheriff CPete Holzheirnerb. Other acts were: Bag pipes and highland fling, by Colin and Avis MacRae, a duet by Gerry Randall and Naomi Shattuck 5 Wilma Hanson singing Star Eyesug and the poor man's Frances Sinatra CMaryln Bardwellb, followed by her usual seething mob of youthful bobby- socked admirers. The country's play was a mur- der mystery, The House of Greed by Robert St. Claire. Players were Barbara Dale, Richard Wilkenson, Beverly Duryea, Lucille Rothmiller, Leo Rothmiller, lerry Mitchell, and lim Barnes. Mr. Hannaford was the Production Manager and the guiding genius behind the entire program. The stu- dent production staff included Phyl- lis Hilker, Elsie White, Patte Mc- Conkey, Leo Rothmiller, Mildred Olsen and Dick Halvorsen.

There is more to putting out a paper than meets the eye. Stories have to be written to a cer- tain word count, heads written and counted until they fit, deadlines have to be met, the copy taken to the print- ers, plus all the other fascinating events that take place in the life of a reporter. Yes, it is work, long, tiring hours are spent writing and rewrit- ing stories before the copy is passed by the editor. But if there wasn't the hustle and bustle, the constant click of typewriters and endless ringing of phones, and talk, along with the sound of feet coming in and out with the slamming of the door, life to its members would be dull and uninter- esting. At last all the stories are in-the deadline is met, and the editor is off to the printer with the copy. Tomor- row we will paste the dummy, correct the galleys, and then off to the print- er again, hoping that the stories will fit. The printer's is a place of constant movement, with the hum of the press- es and the linotype machines filling 56 one's ears. Above the roar one can hear Clarence's voice saying, Reset the first five lines, Craig. Someone forgot to mark the copy. The printers and Clarence are very dear to the hearts of the Chinook staff, as they have worked many late hours to get the paper to press on time. After hours of cutting and switch- ing stories, the paper is finally set up, page proofs taken and corrected. The last few remaining crumbs of cake disappear, the shades are pulled, and everyone goes home with a sigh of relief that another week is passed and another issue has gone to bed. Under the guidance of Mrs. Cham- berlen, Cmore commonly known to the staff as Mrs. CJ the staff, with the aid of the News l classes, puts out an edition each week, with a very few exceptions. Training for becoming a member of the staff is gained in the News l classes, where the students learn how to write heads, leads, and different types of stories. Appreciation of all the staff goes to Shirley Edwards, business manager, Frank Cheever, ad manager, and Doug l-loppe, circulation manager.

Each spring at a letter assembly, Quill and Scroll pins and member- ship certificates are presented to those students who have Worked dur- ing their past semester on the paper or annual staff. Students qualifying for this award are chosen by the journalism advisor, must be in the upper third of their class in scholastic rating at time oi election, be recom- mended by the Committee Govern- ing Publications, and must be ap- proved by the Executive Secretary of the Society.

These meetings sounded like a song-fest on Ellis island, and, although no one understood anyone else, everyone agreed that it was great fun. Latin Club divided its meetings into two classes: vocational meet- ings, where outside speakers gave information on different professions, and entertainment meetings. Each class took a turn at providing enter- tainment, and modernized versions of the old Boman classics were most popular. The students also produced a masterpiece titled Quis Magis- tram Necat? which to the unedu- cated means, Who Killed the Teach- er? Nadeane Blackford served as president, and Lois Baker was secre- tary-treasurer of the Latins. French students found it easy to arrange for meetings, as there was only one class. Every Friday this 58 group held its meetings during class and discussed topics of French cul- ture and customs, such as literature, art, music, cooking, actresses, dances and perfume production. Another popular feature of the club was the song translations, which included the Marines' l-lymn and Little Brown lug. The club elected Dona Lough- len, president, lay Gilmour, vice president 5 Ernie Karlstrom, secretary, and Tania Farafontoff, program chairman. Aqui se habla espanol. That sign, Spanish is spoken here, tells the purpose of the Spanish club: to make MORE Spanish spoken here. The meetings, led by President Pat Feiring, included skits produced by the different classes, Spanish music and ever-welcome lessons on the Conga, Bhumba and Tango. Spanish club has attained fame for its produc- tion of the annual Pan-American Day Assembly which gave El Panameri- canismo a gay touch of South of the Border. 1- Y Y -'v ' f ' ' ' f . o C ff K ' -'. gl- It , ' I qj -1 ' 7 ' 0 Q 7-4. 4 K D K.

As with all the other clubs, old Mr. War tried his best to discour- age West Seattle's ace debaters, but became downhearted himself when the members of the Debate Club shone in talk after talk with other schools oi the city.

This group is well named, too, for the wearers of the little bar or torch pins are West Seattle's finest students. Une-bar members are sophomores who earned 24 grade points in their freshman year on the basis of four points for an three for a two for a and one for a The two-bar pins are awarded to juniors who have a total of 50 or more pointsp and the gold seal torch pin, the goal of all Honor Society members, represents at least 78 grade points. This gold seal pin is given by the Seattle School Board to seniors who have lO8 points upon graduation. BO Under the able guidance of the sponsor, Mr. Logan, the Honor So- ciety carries on many activities to increase the interest in scholarship. ln the fall the club presented an assembly, with Dr. Perry Gresham as guest speaker, and the annual Honor Society Tea honoring new members was held in the spring semester. This club offers school service, too, by providing ushers for the Senior Play, Pow Wow, music programs and commencement exer- cises. During the past year the Honor Society was one of the largest school organizations, with a membership of l86 students. Of these, 87 were one- bar members, 62 were two-bar mem- bers and 37 had received their gold seal pins. Front Row-'Ruth Adams, Annabelle Aller, Marlyn Bardwell, Iim Barnes.

All gym class were striving toward the goal of easing the future private's suf- fering during his first few Weeks in the service. Emphasis was placed on supplying everybody with the opportunity for build- ing his mind and body. Each of them, from the triple-threat athlete to the lad who always came in last on the Commando Course, was conditioning himself for war. Girls, too, were on a wartime schedule. Many of them came out groaning after a session of WAVE or WAC training. West Seattle sports were on a wartime basis, building the stamina, ruggedness, and endurance necessary for total victory. av-' ., ' 2 L5 X ff,- 7, Z iff f ,L f ff 1 .

Despite the loss of the 3-letterrnan Dick La Belle to the baseball squad, the West Side golfers could be counted upon to provide plenty of stiff sports- manlike competition to every school they played. A victory over the Franklin team marked the beginning of the season. Then Dame Fortune disappeard, and W. S. suffered three successive defeats at the hands of Cleveland, Roosevelt and Ballard. Leading the league in spirit, determination, and sportsmanship, Coach Smith's golfers hope to wind up well entrenched in the first division. The tennis team this year is tops. With Wally Bostick number-one man, and Dick Ienson, Bruce Keith and Troyer Hall following in that order, they are out for the championship. Strengthened by a good supply of returning lettermen and strong in al- most every respect, i these boys hope to de- feat every team on their round-robin schedule.

Coach Loyd Doty and his varsity hoopsters started the basketball season off by playing the high rated Boose- velt Boughriders. The Teddies, favored by the daily sheets, sent the lndians running for their teepees by taking the first game of the season. Now we've started, l said, as the battling Braves moved into the win column by put- ting the skids under Lincoln. Ballard was next on the list, and once more bullet passes and nifty footwork on the maple court helped West Seattle over-ride Ballard. Norm Willis set a new high for the season with 23 points, which was later broken by Dick King of Cleveland, with 24 points, Snooker Doty then took his boys to Broadway and dished out another defeat to the Bengals. lt was immediately after this game that Willis leit for the Naval training station at Farragut. The lndians were really rolling to town, with a wagon full of field goals until a snag in the form of Queen Anne stopped them dead as the Grizzlies walked off the floor, the victors by a 3 point margin. '74 Below: Romie Hanning in action against Cleveland Again West Seattle got slapped down, this time by the Cleveland Eaglesp for at the end of the game the score was tied 34-34, and at the end of the overtime Cleveland was ahead, 39-36. The Casaba boys of West Seattle wound up the first half of the season with 3 wins, 3 losses, scoring 233 points and having 204 points scored against them. The second round again found the Rough- riders at our teepee door, only this time they stole our teepee, 48-145 in the second mix the lndians again lost, this time to the lurk- ing Lincoln Lynx, whom they had previously beaten. Here we go again, was the word passed around as the lndian five examined the Beaver's pelt they had just won by 1 hard-earned point. Beating the Broadway Bengals in the first round, the hoopsters from Pine Street came back with blood in their eyes, determined to win over the locals. Their minds were set on winningg therefore the Indians couldn't upset the applecart, even after several close shaves by the Redskin hoopsters. After the game Bill Pedersen, another West Side brave, turned in his suit in exchange for Navy blues. The Indian squad then went gunning tor the Queen Anne Grizzly, but was again am- bushed and sent back to the reservation with defeat tatooed on their chests. Having suffered before in the claws of the Eagles, the locals again tangled with the boys from Georgetown: but, as before, the Eagles Winged homeward, papoose scalps in tow. Of this year's lettermen, four will probably return, and it is around them that next year's squad will be built. Kent Urquhart was voted the Inspirational award by his teammates for his untiring ef- forts and leadership throughout the 1944 season.

How- ard Bellows of football and basketball fame was elected to wear the mask. Dick La Belle, a three-stripe man in golf, was chosen to hold down the initial bag. Second base was leased to its last year's owner, Frank Bea- vert, who switched off and on with Iim Burroughs, who played left field last year. Earle Gramm, a second team third baseman last season, was just the man to hold down said berth on the '44 first team.

The infield completed, coach then turned his attention to the outfield. Dick Barnecut, last year's right fielder, changed over to left field. Center field slot was handled by lack Thorburn, veteran grid star. Gaylord Biach proved a versatile man by playing right field when not on the mound. At the start of the season, Lady Luck seemed to be frovvning on the hopes and plans of our team. This is how the current season ran until the annual Went to press: March 31 found the West Seattle Indians entertain- ing the Franklin Quakers on Ebbets Field Ir. CHiaWatha Park to youl. Irwin Rennick started the game in good form by striking out the first man and continued to keep good control throughout the game, Walking only three men. Even With this fine display of pitching, the Quakers succeeded in shut- ting out the locals, 4 to O. On April 4 the Indians Went over to play the Broadway boys from Pine Street. Gaylord Biach this time took command of the mound and managed to hold the Bengals to 6 runs: he also managed to make the first run of the season. April I8 found the league leaders CQueen Annel paying a business call on West Seattle, the then cellar team. After 5 innings of close play, the Quays finally pulled ahead of the Indians and so ended the ball game, 4 to 2. West Seattle Indians may not be champs again this I year, but they will be in there fighting, giving the other league contenders a lot to Worry about: so With plenty of high hopes for the home team, the 1944 baseball sea- son closes. I 1943 CHAMPS Walt Clough Iim Burroughs Aldo Campangnaro Norm Willis Ivan Mykleburg Dick Barnecut Frank Beavert DCIV9 Knight 4 Clayton Warner Lloyd Doty l Dick Smith Wilbur Ashcraft 77 Track Top How: Byron Blaumcxn, Dale McMullen, Sid Lindike, Stan Hall. Mike Mohundro, Bob Clithero, Bob Eide. Bottom Row: Ron Iohnson, Frank Osbun, Ken Ferguson, Vic Neklason, Max Estep, Bruce Smith, Bill O'Brien. The 1944 track squad started off the season with only 3 returning let- termen, Byron Blauman, Mike Mo- hundro, and Dale McMullen. But even with just 3, this did not phase the enthusiasm of the thinclads. The first affair of the season came April 23, when the West Seattle cin- dermen met Franklin and Broadway in the first triangular meet of the sea- son at the University of Washington Stadium. The locals took 4 firsts, 7 seconds, and 3 third places, to Win 78 by 2 points over Franklin, the nearest contender. Coach Ullin found 3 trackmen who have a good chance at all-city posi- tions. They are Byron Blauman, Who made the best time of the day in the 440 yard dash by Winning it in :54.2, Sid Lindike, who took two first places, inthe 100 yard and 220 yard dashes, and Max Estep, who seems to have a natural talent for high jumping. Max jumped 5 ft. 4 in. to tie for first place. 4 ' .J 1, , I tj X , ft ,, T, ,mf 1 5 X 'A A 'rj X lf, VT 7 N-if N fic 'f xl 1 fdji, ,f j VI.-rf' fx , fJl1.lf f i ' x V ,gf 'A K Few people outside of the boys Who turn out for sports know of the fine , .,,. f f Work done by Pop Behymer. 1 V T It is through his good work and train- a ing that the athletes are kept in top con- t y dition.

Hey coach, that's enough of those calesthenics, they're murder! Ohhhhhhln These and many more, which can- not be printed for obvious reasons, are typical of the utterances heard in the boys gym this year. Many of the boys are still trying to decide Whether the program was building them up or tearing them down. The seniors had the biggest cause for good natured complaint, but the underclassmen had their Woes, too. While the Freshmen and Sopho- mores had only a taste of the accel- erated program two days a Week, the Iuniors had it three days, and the Seniors were plagued with the coaches' latest brainstorms five days a Week. The year started for the upper- classmen With fairly easy exercises - fifteen push-ups or so, and ended with the total closer to fifty. In De- cember they learned the manly art of fisticuffsf' Garbed in shorts, Well padded gloves and football helmets, the fighting seniors advanced to meet their toes. Each was required to struggle through three rounds and more than once blood stained the floor. Not content with boxing, the coaches sprung a Wrestling program on the surprised muscle-aspiring stu- dents. They were full of enthusiasm until they saw the blood stains on the mats, then they began to Wonder. No use dodging it though, it had to come Cdeathb. To their complete sur- prise, however, the Wrestling season ended with no casualties. All kidding aside it accomplished miracles for all the classes. Flabby muscles were developed and co- ordination Was greatly improved as the seniors were put through their paces by Coaches Pat Murphy and Woody Ullin. , ,Q l F54 X 1' ,V TJ l X l.

Then it happened, after five weeks of playing for on that fateful Friday those fighting maids went out to the battlefield to determine the top team, but it was to no avail, for after four hard guar ters of playing the score was a tie, and the players went home happy From Speedball came fall badminton, with a turnout much larger than was ex- pected. Manager Dot Ellis, after many weeks of handling the tournament, finally tallied up the winners, which showed Bev- erly Humphreys as singles champion and Kathleen l-lansen and Sally Morris as win- ners of the doubles. Shortly after Christmas vacation, Mana- ger Lorraine Nokes began Volleyball with a turnout much larger than expected. With the opening of the new semester, Ping Pong was started, Sally Morris man- aging, with a turnout of 58 girls. Winding up an exciting four weeks, the final matches were played in the gym, and Eleanor Deeb came out as champ. Along with Ping Pong lackie Dahl began Basketball, and after a two-week campaign a turnout surpassing all estimation came through, and with l3 teams playing, Basket- ball led as the year's most popular girls' sport. Praise this past year goes also to the spring sport managers who did a fine job of handling their managerships: Spring Badminton, Thelma Lyon, Baseball, Gerry Mitchell, Golf, Annabelle Aller, Tennis, Alta Nicholas, and Swimming, Patti l-lart. -l - '4,.l X X f 5 f , , Rai A QW, ,tj ' ' if X P x rx il it 2 S 'YSL--T VL.

WOODY ULLIN 82 Intramural Intramural sports are held at West Seattle so that every student may have an opportunity to play on an athletic team. These sports include track, basket- ball, baseball, ping pong, tumbling, and the Hundred Mile Club. Early in the fall, Coach Murphy started the annual basketball tour- nament with two leagues, the Majors and the Minors, each consisting of four teams. After a hard and bloody fight Cwell, maybe not bloodyb, lohn Popich's team won the Major cham- pionship, and Vick Neckelson's team, the Minor. ln the first part of lanuary, 22 boys turned out for ping pong. All matches were played under strain, as the boys sweated while beating their opponents by a very small mar- gin. The final game between Fred Buck and lohnny Beahm was one N round of excitement after another: every minute of the half-hour game was filled with suspense and cheers as the favorite player would forge ahead, then complete silence as the other player took the lead. The game ended with lohn Beahm the victor, and new Ping Pong champ. When Coach P. I. Murphy an- nounced the start of the baseball season, he was met by a barrage of enthusiastic students. West Seattle should have no trouble in finding players for this year's baseball team. For the boys who participated in intramural sports and earned 500 points there is an award of an intra- mural Points were awarded as follows: Ping Pong .......... 9 points a week Basketball ........ l0 points a week Chinning 61 Dips 4 points a week Handball .......... l0 points a week Tumbling .......... l0 points a week Winter Track .... 10 points a week 100-Mile Club ............ 3 points per mile The intramural sport program for the past year at West Seattle could easily be summarized by its motto A SPORT FOR EVERY BOY AND A BOY lN EVERY SPORT. Upper-Ping Pong Lower-Basketball 83 SCHOOL LIFE l-ley! Watch out for that fountain, it squirts, says the pig-tailed sophomore through her stick of peppermint as the sen- ior with the crew cut grins at her and re- plies, Aw, you're kiddin', then promptly contacts with a surprising spout of Water. They Wind their giggling way down the stairs, to be lost in the noisy throng. The 3:00 bell has just announced that school's out for today, and it's every man for himself. Locker doors clang, young voices rise and fall as in a giant beehivep teachers pick their Way carefully through piles of books tossed nonchalantly on the floor. Then, all is quiet again, until tomorrow, when these halls will reverberate again with young life pouring through them. That's the way it's always been-that's the Way it is, and shall be as long as they never change, as long as they pour into Mac's for that after-school coke, or over in the park to soak up the early spring sun- shine While gossiping of last night's date or the big plans for this summer. As long as they go wild in those rare Seattle snows and form the ever-present stag-line against the bulkhead across the street, American youth can never be taught to goose-step or heil. They will forever cherish the little, un- important, but at the same time so valu- able, things they've done at school. l-low often those tattered class dance programs and football streamers will bring back the happiest memories of all-SCHOOL LIFE.

This shield, which dis- tinguishes two prominent students annually, requires as its gualificatons: leader- ship, both in school service and studies, as Well as out- standing personalities, friendliness and traits which influence others to do good. High standards set by the Girls' Club Creed friendly attitude were the traits which impressed the girls in their search for Miss ln- spiration, as ballots were cast for 87 different Senior girls. Fulfilling the character- istics which so strongly in- fluenced each vote to live up to the best within her, was Doris Stobie, chosen as the outstanding senior girl.

KIWANIS ICURNAUSM PLAQUE To every journalism student, the Kiwanis Journalism Plaque for out- standing journalism, presented to West Seattle in 1937, commemorat- ing the death of Rupert Hamilton, former editor of the W.

The big difference was that this class was returning, not to school, which would have been more sensible and, as George Walker had put it, Certainly more cheaper, but to Sun Valley, ldaho, where for twenty years famous men and women had vaca- tioned and now the alumni of West Seattle were to descend on it like a swarm of Grasshoppers. ln fact, some of them had already arrived and were seated around the fireplace in the main lobby. lt had been ten years since they had seen each other, but it takes more than ten years to alter the char- acter of a West Seattle Graduate. They were seated in the main lobby, taking life easy, when who should come in but lim Rogge, class of l944. He had come in on the rods clear from Seattle, so our old school mate looked a little weather beaten. Some of the guests rode in the coaches instead of under them, such as Annabelle Aller and Willie Ashcraft, Bob Stoneking and Margaret Hart, Allen Holzheimer and Pearl Osborn. Not much had been seen of Allen during the past ten years, but with a new suit and fifteen dollars from the warden he looked like a new man. These were followed in close succession by Dennis Win- ter, Delia Valentinetti, Harold Trulin, Norm Willis, Bob Windom, Elaine Wil- bur, Dean Straub, Doris Stobie, Harry Smith and Bob Norman. By evening most had arrived. The next morning the slopes were covered with skiers of all shapes and sizes, among the sizes being lim Barnes and Dean Good, among the shapes, Doris Stobie and LeBae Phipps. Baldy Mountain was greatly impressed with the skiers from West Seattle. Some of these impressions were made by Allan McGibbon and Gloria Armstrong, Maryln Bardwell, Nadeane Black- ford, and Phyl Peiring. Over toward the left we saw a large cloud of steam rising into the air, and knew it must be the swimming pool. This place of attraction had seen a vast improvement with the coming of two dynamic managers, Shark Tooth Viney and Dorsal Fin Bansdell. The first thing they did was fill the pool with water. A great improvement, which had run Dean Straub out of business, for he had been using it for a bowling alley. The pool was filled with bobbing heads, among them lim Bonholzer, of the Bonholzer Trucking Firm offices located at l2th and lackson, Seattle, Don Peters of Webber, Webber, Web- ber, Maisfield and Peters, Attorneys at Law C955 Pat Sweazey, who has just completed her book on etiquette, called l Heard Him Say, 'Who ls Emily Post?' as He Wiped His Mouth on the Sleeve of the Host. As we moved on we come next to the lce Bink, where we found more alumni strapping on skates and giving their insurance companies heart failure. Among them Doug Swan was rehearsing the chorus of his new ice show The Cold Shoulder Review, which will open foralimited engage- ment at the Sun Valley Bink. Prances Badecop, the poor man's Sonja Henie, scraped across the ice inscribed Come to Alki, the Eternal City. 98 Over on the other side we saw Bob Schilling hawking the latest of his products, Dehydrated Vitamin Fortified Popcorn. In the stands was Dar- leen Kirby, the Pall Mall Girl of the Year, chatting with Frank Osbun, the Pepsodent Kid, and his manager Pat Loomis. Buz I-logenson, of the stagehands local 671, operated the Blue Spot Light, and Fat Porter gently handled the 300 pound backdrop, while Lila Saari executed a figure seven and one half tshe couldn't make an eightj. Back at the lodge we picked up a copy of the local paper, namely The Dust Pan-lf it is dirt you want, we got it. Even though their stay had been short, some of the alumni of old West Seattle had already made the front page. lt seems that Dennis Winter, now of the Seattle Mountain- eers, has fallen while trying to jump a fence and had fatally injured his left kneecap. Soothing him in the hospital is nurse Pat Feiring, BN., B.S., F.O.B. Detroit. Nurse Feiring is quoted as saying, Father and son doing nicely. Thank you. On the society page we found a few notes about the elite of West Seattle. Mrs Peter Marinovitch tMarilyn Leej, Washington's first Lady, arrived at Sun Valley early this morning and informed the press that as soon as the Governor could tear himself away from his duties at Olym- pia he would join her here at the reunion. Audrey Colman, now famous as an interior decorator, has closed her penthouse show 'The Smith Tower' to join her old friends here. Fay Fredrickson and lune Carter traveled from Chicago on their vacation from the 'Follies Bergere' now playing there. The reunion was ended by a gala banquet given in the main dining room. The guests of honor were Bill Fitch and Elsie White, who had just completed their 85th week on Broadway in that great stage play every- one is talking about, lVlother's Not Screaming Because She's Cranky, the Badio's on, She's Listening to Franky. Seen at the banquet was George Walker, noted lecturer, critic, and author of the best seller Live Alone-lt's Cheaper, with his date for the evening, Fatte McConkey. Over in the corner we noticed a large crowd gathering around a Thorburn-lVlcMullen-lsaacson-Wiswell crap game. The last to enter was Dick LaBelle, who had a little ill luck on the last ski run while trying to take his beloved piano along. l-le had been under the care of Dr. Bobert Windom, a very successful surgeon. The evening was brought to a grand climax when Bansdell and Viney persuaded lim Barnes to mount the tower 93 feet above the pool, where before l5O awed class mates, he executed a full twisting one and a half back jack knife into a wet towel. This brought wild screams from everyone including LaNaya Anderson, who didn't like the idea of lim using her best towel. And so the reunion was over, the party was over, and, boy, what a hang-over!

Trqpeze Artist i 103 k Editor Kimtah Staff Crossing their fingers and hoping for the best, the Editor and her assist- ant, the Literary Editor, namely Frances Radecop and Virginia Schil- ling, glanced anxiously at the clock with the hope that they'd make it to the printers by 4 o'clock. They rushed out the door, their arms filled with monstrous envelopes contain- ing material which would add to the completion of another year's an- nual. A casual glance in the Chinook Shack any sixth period Would be one to amaze, for the bustling, ex- cited voices of the Literary staff, composed of Connie Fell, Frank Cheever, Sally Morris and LaNaya Anderson, would rise over the click of the typewriters and the demands of the editors to beat that deadline, no matter What! Frances Radecop 9 ,-Oifw'r'.,-ff- Xgff' 5 3 My CW 7,26 you might xi have found Dick Halvorsen, Art Editor, among the piles of pen and ink drawings strewn across his desk. Dean Straub and lim Barnes, that inevitable two- some, dictated the policies of the Sports Department and kept Dennis Winter, Photography Editor, busy getting action shots of the team. The behind -the - scene assistance was given by Mrs. Chamberlen, Pub- lication Director: Mr. Dotson, Busi- ness Sponsor, and the two student Business Managers, Donna Graham and Lois Harris. Appreciation is acknowledged of the work done by two who had to leave to serve Uncle Sam: Michael Rothwell and Bill Fitch.

C., the editor graced the last page with the novel and extremely Witty Words, lt was a lot of Work and l'm glad it is all finished, but it was a lot of fun, too. Ever since Editor Szinga Erouka Hammed chiseled these words in hieroglyphics, annual editors from Podunk to South Tideilats have chiseled from him, and Editor Radecop is no one to break an old tradition. Without the help of Mr. Popp oi Acme Engraving Co., Mr. Rosenthal oi the University Printing Co., the Ralston Photo Studio, and the faculty sponsors, Mrs. Chamberlen, Mr. Dotson and Mr. Wohlrabe, the l944 Kimtah would have been another casualty X oi war. My thanks to these and all the students who worked ard to produce this annual. l hope it Will Warrant the ap- roval oi West Seattleites in school and in service.
