WASHINGTON MODERN YOUTH Youth is building for the future, Towers of strength and knowledge new. Youth is growing, learning working, No task proves too hard to do. Youth exalts at each invention, That impells the modern way. And revolts at whining critics, Who’d go back to yesterday. Youth is ardent, Youth is hopeful, Youth's brave banner is unfurled. With courage, truth and justice, Youth shall make the modern world. FOREWORD WENDELL C. HICKLIN The senior class of 1940 takes pleasure in dedicating this thirtieth edition of the “Rhododendron” to one who has gained, by his attractive and optimistic personality, the friend- ship of students and teachers alike. Mr. Hicklin is known by all his classes and friends as an interesting conversationalist, a versatile humorist, and a com- petent advisor.

Always ready and willing to help in any way possible, he offers a motto for every youth to follow: “Be Your Own Ideal.” Efficiently filling his job of superintendent of the Ana- cortes schools, Mr. Cramblitt goes about his work with grim determination to conquer any obstacle that should arise in his path. 14 Rettie Reeves Hammond Forcum Kramer Carter Stephenson Brewer Dorcy March Disher Anderson Smith Marley Burpee FACULTY NMN-fORTY Com WANDA DAVIS ANNETTE OLIN • VALEDICTORIAN Winner of the D.A.R. award and editor of the “Rhododen- dron,” Wanda has had a full share of well-deserved honors.

During his first seven years, he filled the capacities of assistant basketball and football coach, and head baseball coach. Three years ago, he was promoted to head basketball coach; he still holds this position. The teams Coach Boulton has turned out have been more than satisfactory, his first triumph being in his first year as head coach. He took a team of county champions to the State tournament in which they placed fourth. Last year he gave us a county championship team, and this year a second place team. Next year he will try to turn out another of the fine teams which he has built up in the past. Here’s to his successful fu- ture. • COACH WOOTEN Last year’s prophecy about Coach Wooten’s producing an- other championship team at A.H.S. came true. A football team, composed mainly of seniors, won for him the title, “coach of the county co-champions.” As well as pro- ducing a fine team this year, Coach Wooten also developed a host of fine material for next year’s squad. Fulfilling the same duties as last year, head football coach and second team basketball coach, Coach Wooten deserves an- other O.K. for his efforts and accomplishments. 40 On a hot, sweltering day early in the season, mid sweat and dust, Anacortes “brought home the bacon” in the form of a score: 14-0 over Concrete. This was the first of many victories. Highlighting the season was the Sea Hawks’ victory over Arlington, 31-0. In a muddle of water and mud the team bogged down and also bowed down to Bellingham in an overwhelming defeat of 34-0. The only other defeat the team suffered was from Marys- ville by a score of 6-0. To end the season the Sea Hawks held the Sedro-Wool ley Cubs, a team rated as the better team by far, to a 6-6 tie, thus earning the right to the title of “co-champions of the county.” TOP PICTURE Back row—Rolph, Carter, Maris, Noggle Front row—Gilden, Jarvis, B.

They dropped their first county game to Mount Vernon by one point; then breezed on smoothly until their second meeting with the LaConner Braves, when they suffered their second league defeat. The pennant race was close, with Mount Vernon and Sedro-Wooiley making it hard for the Hawks. The Hawks lost their chance for the pennant when they went down in defeat at the hands of the Cubs, 25-27. Ana- cortes took the second place berth. With hopes high the Hawks went to the District, but suffered defeats to Bellingham and Snohomish, the latter being tournament host. The Hawks turned in a good season. Six graduates will be missed next year. These grads are Bill Burgess, Elmer Burgess, Ray Noggle, Ray Pinson, Bud Maris, and Orville Benson. Left to right—E. Burgess, Maris, Murray, Noggle, Pinson, B. Burgess, Flannigan, Benson, Rydberg, Coach Boulton. • SECOND TEAM Playing good basketball and working desperately, the sec- ond team went through a fair season of play, finishing third place in its league race. Losing many of their games by a few points, the Hawks managed to beat most of their opponents by large margins. These second team players will be next year’s first team; thus you may well look forward to a fine group of basketballers. Members of the second team are Daniel Padgett, Barton Barber, Bob Separovich, Jerry Jurkovich, Beuhl Berentson, Ralph Bur- gett, and Charles Sherman.

Veterans returning this year were Cecil Jarvis, pitcher; Bill Burgess, first baseman; Ray Noggle, shortstop; Ray Sep- arovich, left field; Elmer Burgess, center field; and Ed Gilden, right field. The team played a difficult schedule, and fought hard under Coach Boulton’s guidance, to achieve the position it won in the county. Back row—Coach Boulton, B. Burgess, Pinson, Noggle, Ebloom, E. Burgess, Flannigan, Separovich, Rydberg, Wilkerson, Mondhan, Strom, Murray. Middle row—Gilden, Oldow, Thomson, Jarvis, Etter, Biendl, Everett, Smith, Bushy. Front row—Rayment, Iverson, Tietjen. • TRACK Losing only two members, this year’s track squad was ex- tremely successful, even surpassing that of last year. Meagher was the returning weight man taking the place of last year’s team, which consisted of Goff and himself. Bassett, Rolph, and Demopolis were the outstanding runners coming back this year. Several boys from the junior high school were with us this year, making a larger team and giving us added prospects for the coming seasons. Bart Barber took over the pole vaulting position. Ed Schwartz was a returning distance runner. New equipment brought out added interest this season. Fairly successful was this year’s results of a learn well trained by Coach “Boots” Wooten. Back row—Barney, Jurkovich, Barber, Meagher, Finlay- son, Hunt. Middle row—Bassett, Hill, Rack, Demopolis, Lowman, Schwartz, White, Wooten. Front row—Barber, Berentson, Burke. • TENNIS With three members back from last year’s squad, and five newcomers, the Anacortes tennis team was, for another season, too small for much competition. Four seniors, seven juniors, and three sophomores entered in the play throughout the “up and down” season. The racket swingers include: Ulrico Premo, senior; Ray Pinson, senior; Bill Raeder, senior; Carleton Amsberry, senior; Gordon Flannigan, junior; Beuhl Berentson, sophomore; Paul Burke, sophomore; and Arthur Haugland, sophomore. 46 mOi-NMIN • FOOTBALL ACTION SHOT With the help of the play pictured, along with other plays, the Anacortes “Sea Hawks” were able to finish on the long end of a 31-0 score over the Arlington “Eagles” in the first of four games played on the local field. Here, Noggle, right half, is about to toss one to end, Bob Gilden. The play was good for some twenty-two yards before Gilden was brought down. Maris, the fullback, is on the ground in the foreground of the backfield. This game was the second of six victories for the Hawks, being bested only by the Marysville “Tomahawks” and the powerful Bellingham “Red Raider” elevens. • YELL LEADERS AND SONG LEADERS Wallie Funk Gene Crawford _ Donald Oldow Wanda Bondeson _ Yell King Yell Duke Yell Duke Song Leader • SOCCER Although soccer speedball was the outstanding game dur- ing the soccer turnouts, schlaugh ball was an added feature. Soccer speedball turnouts took place in the early fall, beginning in September.

Winning from the other teams, the seniors “took” the second tournament. Each player on these high point teams re- ceived 25 extra points. Everyone earned 100 points if he had not missed more than one of the turnouts. Two jolly ball teams in the first tournament participated in a jolly ball playday held in Burlington November 18. Upper row—Vivian Mondhan, Annette Olin, Re-Vae Olson, Florence Campbell, Bette Brown, LaVerne Baer. Lower row—Marjorie Brand, Phyllis Foster, Joan Turner, Marcia Kingsley, Virginia Finnson, Jean Pinkerton. • BASKETBALL Winning nine games, losing one, and tying one, the senior girls came out on top in the high school basketball tournament. However, it proved to be a close battle with the juniors, who won eight games, lost two, and tied one. For each game played 10 letter points were awarded each player. An additional 100 points were received by the girls who were able to pass the basketball action test. Anacortes’ Girls’ Athletic club entertained girls belonging to athletic organizations from Burlington, LaConner, Mount Vernon and Sedro-Woolley, at a basketball playday January 20. Third row—Gertrude Holtgeerts, Mary Stapp, Emily An- tonovich. Second row—Margaret Thomas, Vivian Mondhan.

The four girls showing typical badminton strokes are Bette Brown, Gertrude Holtgeerts, Vivian Mondhan, and Florence Campbell. • TENNIS Tennis, the popular outdoor sport, each year brings out many players.
