The Journalism Staff of the Anacortes High School Presents THE 1941 MDODfllDM Editor—WALLIE FUNK Business Manager—JOSEPHINE BARCOTT Honorary Associate Editor—MAXINE BROWN Assistant Business Mgr.—GORDON FLANNIGAN FOREWORD QYMBOL of Liberty, America, we greet you. We give you what service our love for you engenders; We give it gladly, hopefully, however small. We walk with you, America, through the hopes and accomplish- ments of the passing eras. Through the mists of hate and fear and red terror we see you. America, shaping vistas of a future free from pain, free as the ethereal heavens, free as the divine airs of justice, from tyranny emancipated. We see you leader of a world released from ills and selfish lust, erecting models of equality, of the dignity and brotherhood of man. Yours is the pattern, Oh land of liberty, do not fail it; Do not fail posterity, those whose breath we lightly feel, urg- ing us onward. Build it beautifully, that design of happy living; Frame yet better—there are weaknesses, we sadly know. Warder of Democracy, America, glad dream of perfect existence, we are yours forever. Concrete epitome of man’s vision, land of love, live spiritually wholesome in this book, And accept our apotheosis, all our love for what you are—and LEST WE FORGET TO Mr. Ferdinand Kramer the class of ’41 dedicates The Rhododendron. During the four years of his tenure here at the Anacortes High School, he has made lasting friends with all students. Effectively teaching physics, senior science, advanced al- gebra, and geometry, Mr. Kramer has left some knowledge even in the minds of the indifferent and apathetic, and has offered much to those who have been willing to profit from his instruc- tion. His charming personality, philosophical humor, strong sense of justice, and friendliness have captured the hearts of all. To the students he remains a good teacher, a “pal,” and a competent advisor. His devotion to the interests of education, to the school, to his students, and to the highest ideals of teaching has been most unselfish.

Mr. Ray Lowman SELDOM does a board of education receive due recognition of its service. Public approbation of its policies, however just they may be, is often reluctant, if at all given. As in the field of actual pedagogy, justification of actions may be extremely difficult. This body is too frequently maligned; its pursuit of studied procedures, too frequently misunderstood and misin- terpreted. The Anacortes Board of Education has labored sedulously to maintain superior educational standards under the pressure of financial stress. That their efforts may not be abortive, the Annual Staff and sponsors, on behalf of the school and com- munity, tender their appreciation. NINETEEN-FORTY-ONE ☆ 13 THE ADMINISTRATORS DeFore Cramblitt I ee Stephenson SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE THE intelligence of a nation is the sum of the intelligences of all its citizens. No nation in these times can hope to survive, to say nothing of pro- gressing in the arts and sciences, in commerce, in trade, or in industry, un- less it is composed of a well-educated citizenry. The individual American must be educated, not only that he may be able to enjoy a fuller life; he must also be trained in order that, in cooperation with other educated Americans, he may do his part toward sustaining and upbuilding an intelligent, beneficent, and capable government. Let us, as we journey through life, continue to remember that through trained intellects and bodies come our richest enjoyments, our most complete satisfactions, our greatest apprecia- tions, our capacities for happiness, our concepts of fuller life, our visions of a better world. PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE A WORLD beset by worries may seem to give scant encouragement to high school graduates. Even the frontiers of progress seem to be closed. Yet as history and the march of time both prove, and as science and social evolution so clearly indicate, never was there a time when frontiers were more open or real effort more certain of reward than now. Whether young or old, if we are sincere and courageous, we have only to look around us today to discover countless signs that show us the way forward. But in these days of international turmoil we must above all maintain with truth those ideals without which the world is barren indeed; and we must supplement our courage with the clear vision to face realities squarely and at the same time to retain those undying principles democracy has so lovingly embraced. 14 ☆ RHODODENDRON THE FACULTY Howard Boulton—First Basketball, Second Football, Big A , Baseball.

This brilliant, lov- able classmate is now. we know, an inhabitant of two worlds. Others may claim him too: but he is here, liv- ng in the annals of our book.

Sept. 14—Our boys got in some RED HOT licks, As they subdued Schwartz’s Lions, 33 to 6. Sept. 21—At Arlington, Washington, on this hot day, We smashed the Eagles with but seconds to play—7-0. Sept. 26—To raise money for a scoreboard, we put on a show; The Pep Club was proud, ’cause it made plenty dough. Sept. 28—A tie with Snohomish was the best we could do; But the Hawks fought brilliantly all the way through. (0-0) Oct. 9—The Girls’ Club skating party was pronounced O.K.; But, gee, were we stiff the following day.

(13-6) Oct. 26—It was a Tiger from Burlington, deep in a slump, Whom we found little trouble in giving a bump.

(Continued on Page 49) ☆ RHODODENDRON ATHLETICS ★ COACH WOOTEN COACH Richard “Boots” Wooten produced another fine football team this year, his third with Anacortes. Coach Wooten came to us three years ago from Sequim and has produced superior teams for Anacortes. This year Mr. Wooten’s teams establish- ed good records considering the obstacles he had to overcome, and last year the grid- iron squad tied for the county championship. Coach Wooten not only is head coach of football, but he is also second team basket- ball coach and track mentor. Here’s wishing Coach Wooten the acme of success in future years’ seasons. ★ ★ COACH BOULTON COACH Howard Boulton has had this year, his eleventh with A.H.S., a very success- ful season. Four years ago he was promoted to head basketball coach after serving seven years as assistant basketball and football coach and as head coach of baseball. During his regime as head basketball coach, his teams have ranked very high: fourth in state, first in county, second in county, and this year he came from a cellar position to take third in the county league. Besides basketball, Mr. Boulton has de- veloped county champions in baseball. Here’s to very successful seasons next year, Coach Boulton. NINETEEN-FORTY-ONE ☆ 39 Cecil Jarvis: Senior. Out part of season. Hard charging, fast fullback. Efficient on punts. Co-captain for ’40 season. Bill Chariot: Senior end. Bill could always be depended on for blocking or tackling. An outstanding end all season. Ralph Burgett: Senior. Started season at center and finished at guard. Excellent on defense at breaking up passes. Hilding Johnson: Senior halfback who was triple threat. Received All-Northwest rating. Don Rowell: Junior center who shined at down field blocking. Accurate ball passer. A1 Harris: Sophomore. Hard driving halfback. Injured part of season. ‘A1” was a triple threat. John Biendl: Senior quarter-back. John was small but a very hard hitter. Excelled at blocking. Don Rolph: Senior halfback. Fast and a good reliable man to have in back field. 40 RHODODENDRON Gordon Flannlgan: Senior tackle. Voted most inspirational player. Co-captain in '40, was hardest hitting player on team. “DoDo” was a headache to other teams. Received All-Northwest rating. Irvin Rydberg: Junior end. Fast, sticky-fingered end. “Slap” will be back next year as co-captain. Charles Sherman: Junior tackle. Big, aggressive tackle who received All-North- west rating. “Chuck” will be back as co-captain next year. Jimmy Hunt: Sophomore guard. “Jim” was a very reliable man to have in the line. Wayne Tweten: Senior guard. Wayne could be counted on when needed. Shoe- string tackling was his specialty. Chris Demopolis: Senior halfback. Very fast open field runner. Bruce Finlayson: Senior tackle. Heaviest man on squad. Hard to move. Bill Ross: Senior fullback. Southpaw passer who completed a good percentage.

With relatively little trouble and almost at will they downed the Lions 33-6. September 21: The second game played at the Arlington field proved to be another victory for the hard-fighting Hawks. The score read 7-0. September 28: The Hawks failed to register against Sno- homish even though they ruled the roost between the 10 yard lines. The result was a scoreless tie. October 11: In our first night game disaster struck. The cause was the Sedro-Woolley Cubs and the result was a 26-0 defeat at the expense of the Hawks. October 19: Again the Sea Hawks were left with the short end of a score of 13-0. A fast Marysville team proved too much for the local aggregation. October 26: The Sea Hawks administered an easy defeat to the Burlington Tigers at their opponents’ field. The scoreboard read 18-0. November 2: The Hawks ran rough-shod over the Blaine eleven and piled up a tally of 27-0. November 11: In the last game of the season the Sea Hawks lost a heart breaker to their bitter rivals, Mount Vernon. After controlling the play of the ball all through the game till the third quarter, disaster struck AHS. Mount Vernon pulled a touchdown play out of the bag which proved to be the winning strategy. The Sea Hawks finished the season on the short end of a 7-0 score in favor of Mount Vernon.

Center on defense and guard on offense. Excellent de- fensively and a dead-eye shot. Should prove very efficient in senior year. Next year’s captain and co-captain this year. Loren Bushey: Sophomore forward. Bushey is a quiet player and a good ball hand- ler. Two more years of experience should prove him a valuable man. Bart Barber: Senior guard. Bart’s main field was checking. He could be de- pended upon when needed. Jerry Jurkovich: Junior forward. “Jerry” was an outstanding follow-in man. Gordon Flannigan: Senior, Guard on de- fense, forward on offense. “Gordy” played swell last season for AHS as co-captain. A smooth ball handler and a good shot “Gordy” will be missed next year. Russ Padgett: Sophomore. Forward. Small, fast, and good passer. When teamwork was needed Russ was tops. Bob Separovich: Junior. Guard on defense, center on offense. “Ba Ba” was an ef- fective backboard man and was reliable in the pinches. Chuck Sherman: Junior center. “Shermie” next year should prove to be an out- standing backboard man. ★ BASKETBALL 1st TEAM— Coach Boulton, Loren Bushey, Jerry Jurkovich, Chuck Sherman, Irvin Rydberg, Cordon Flannigan, Bob Separovich, Barton Barber, Russell Padgett, Mgrs., Paul Burke, Ted Jones. 2nd TEAM— (Top) Don Taylor, Robert Lindell, Gordon Smith, Jack Hoksbcrgen, Pat Mondhan, John Heiber, Charles Sherman, Ted Stroebel, Lloyd McKee, Warren Heglin, Arthur Dibble.

Re-organization and the framing of a new constitution drew approval by the National Honor Society and a charter now hangs in the High School office. Names of members to- gether with an annual report are mailed to the central office in Chicago. The aims of the Society are to promote scholarship, char- acter, and leadership. Points earned in scholarship and activi- ties are totaled to decide membership. A council composed of the principal and two members of the faculty determines eli- gibility. Membership is for one year and is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Advisors are Miss Burpee and Mr. Hammond. ★ KEY CLUB OUR Key Club has the rather unique reputation of being one of three clubs of its kind on the Pacific Coast—the other two are at Bellingham and Sacramento. The Key Club is sponsored by the local Kiwanis Club and is not connected with the school as far as the club rules are concerned. All meetings are held during school hours, however. The purpose of the club is to perform any of the various social services that should be ren- dered. An initiation is held each spring at which new members are duly admitted to the club to take the places of the grad- uating seniors. Mr. Smith is the advisor of the group. 58 ☆ RHODODENDRON Upper Row: -Cecil Nystrom, George MacDonald, Irvin Rydberg, Ted Stro bel, Lloyd McKee, Dave Murray.

Made up of A.S.B. officers and class representatives, the Board of Control finds it within its power to promote or veto any school function that falls within the jurisdiction of the Associated Student Body. Presided over by Don McKee, this year’s Board functioned smoothly and established a precedent which future students should try to reach. VVallie Funk Don McKee Irvin Rydberg Buehl Berentson Lloyd McKee Arthur Haugland Ralph Burgett AdvisorsMiss Bette Brown Margaret Moyer Jean Pinkerton Marjorie Chariot Ruth Hen wood Jo Barcott Cecil Jarvis Gordon Flannigan i, Mr. Stephenson ★ BOYS’ CLUB THIS organization consists of all sophomore, junior, and senior ■ boys regardless of academic achievements or popularity; there are no restrictions. In the past few years the club has been rather inactive, but an occasional smoker, motion picture, or speaker breaks the monotony for the boys who are partici- pating or just onlooking. Ping-pong is about the only pastime which is regularly enjoyed, the ping-pong room being open the greater part of the year. Officers are elected by the boys them- selves and serve for the ensuing year. This year’s officers were: Cecil Jarvis, president; Chris Demopolis, vice-president; and Paul Burke, secretary. Advisor is Mr. Kramer. ★ ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE DURING the year numerous assemblies have been presented by the Assembly Committee. Their ceaseless efforts to have students well pleased have been appreciated.

Off. to a terrific start at the beginning of the current term, the Club began immediate preparations so as to raise money for a new electric scoreboard—a much needed piece of equip- ment in the local gymnasium. Through the sale of pom-poms— hundreds being made by tVe group—a talent show, and a charge of fifty cents per member as dues, the organization raised $175 in record-breaking time. The first hoop encounter of the 1941 season, December 7, 1940, saw the new automatically controlled scorer and time- keeper put in use for the number one time. Although the locals dropped the contest with Edison’s Spark Plugs, Bob Separovich saved the day by running up the initial point on the board.
