By following a Mexican theme, we hope to brighten the pages which in later years will remind us of the best days of our lives. One need not feel uneducated if he can not read the Spanish captions. The staff have been associated with them for nine months and can't read them either. Hasta Lluego; Amigos!

Officers elected were: President, Eugene Suryan; vice- president. Jackie Sherman, and secretary, Billy Jean Lamphicr. These officers conducted the Student Council meetings during the year. The highlight of the month of October was the Pep Assembly at which Yell Leaders and Song Teams were elected. Yell leaders chosen were Jackie Sherman, Anita Luvera and Charlotte Brown. The girls dressed in striking green and gold outfits. They led yells and songs at both Junior High games and Assemblies. Newly organized this year was the Junior High Pep Club, which has many enthusiastic members. They met before every game to work out yells and also held several initiation assemblies, with the proceeds going towards a dinner for the basketball team from each section. Under the direction of Mrs. Edna Ger- hardt, the 9-1 class presented two skits for an All-School Assembly: “Newspaper Nightmares” and “Buddy Answers An Ad.” Preceding the Christmas holidays a new custom was taken up—the different classes exchanged gifts and had re- freshments. For January, the 8-3 class staged an All-Musical Assembly which was highly appreciated by all. An interesting Assembly was held in March, when an old fashioned spelling bee was held. The participants were the best spellers from each of the sections. In the finals the following pupils won the championship titles for their respective grades: 7th. Jean Hansen; 8th, Sharon Irwin; Sth, Reese Perkins. These pupils re- presented the Junior high school over the air, on the School Broadcast Series sponsored by station KBRC. The Service Club, under the direction of Mix. Edith Pardis, adviser of the club, put on its annual play in April, titled “The First Day of School.” It provided over a full hour of entertainment, depicting the first day of school in a country school district. The cosutmes were very novel and rustic, and the acting was excellent. The cast was made up of the freshmen members of the Service Club. The indi- vidual classes held meetings, at which they chose class names, mottoes and colors. During the year numerous class parties were held also. Under the direction of Mr. Clarence Olson, the 7th grade Art classes featured several different types of art exhibits in the show window. The newly organized choir under the direction of Mrs. Robert Beard presented a spring concert which was well received by a large crowd in attendance. The Junior High School paper, the “Journal”, handicapped by the loss of the excellent supervision of Miss Dorothy Barnard, nevertheless, made a very good record for themselves under Mrs. Pardis’ leadership. The work was taken over by the office and Anita Luvera became the editor. The paper, published monthly contains news of studenfs’ interests. J A special initiation assembly for new members was held at the close of the year. This; year, each class has been responsible for one Assembly. The 7th grade’s con- tribution was the Minstrel Show, with many students taking part in this very entertaining and fine musical. . Many girls in the freshman class belong to the G.A.C. The Junior High are great sport enthusiasts and at the end of the year a special Sports Assembly was given and awards given out. • Two students from the Junior High arranged an interesting Junior Red Cross display in a down-town store window which attracted much favorable comment. These boys did an excellent job in displaying to the public the fine work accom- plished this year by the Junior Red Cross in both the Senior and Junior High Schools. The freshmen graduation Assembly climaxed a busy year for the Junior High School Students. —3-1— Mr. aughn Weber, a newcomer, look over as head football coach when Mr. ootcn became ill.

The Sea Hawks opened the season with a six to six tie. Their first op- ponent being none other than the Northwest champions, the Snohomish Panthers. The game was played in a sea of dust. Coming from behind the Hawks managed to slip by a surprisingly strong Edmonds eleven. This was the first night game to be played in the history of AHS, who won by a single point, 7-6. Touchdown! • • • In the third game the Sea Hawks gained sweet revenge in defeating Woolley 19-6, marking the end of Cub supremacy on the gridiron. This was the second straight year for the pur- ple and white. • Marysville was game number four on the schedlule and almost proved to be the downfall of the Hawks. The game was finally pulled out of the fire and Anacortes came home with a 14-14 tie. • Concrete proved no match for the home boys as they ran rampant to five touchdowns while the Lions from the upper valley tallied once. • With high hopes of defeating the T- machine from Burlington the Sea Hawks played a determined game, but made too many mistakes in the first half to overcome. Funk covers an end sweep. • On a rain soaked field down Arling- ton way Anacortes managed to push over a touchdown in the final period, to bring home another well earned victory. • Then came that glorious end. The green clad Bulldogs charged onto the field with determination. The manner in which they left is well known by all, as touchdown after touchdown was pushed over by the Sea Hawks. •38— Aeciori 1.

As the season progressed, the battle cry Beat Anacortes” grew louder throughout the state. Every method in the book was employed by county teams. Mount Vernon even tried sit- ting on the ball. In winning their twenty-fifth straight, Anacortes won the County Championship and the right to repre- sent Skagit county as Team No. 1. Burlington was defeated by Seattle Prep for the second spot. • Anacortes entered the District Tour- nament as top-heavy favorites. In their first game they were given a scare before winning from Marysville. From there they dumped Lynden very easily and went on to defeat Mt. Baker for the championship. • Again Anacortes rated as a favorite. The big show” was the last hurdle and the boys, as many say, just weren’t hitting.” This year’s State Meet was the toughest in history, and Anacortes can be proud of their show- ing. 41 Enel Suelo 1. “Goob” in action. 4.

Up until this year, hasehall held little interest: hut with new suits and an inspired group of hoys who played the game to win. many people turned out for important contests. «—19— Athleto Contesto del curso Standing: D.

This forces the track team to journey out of town for every meet. This was Mr. Williams' first year of coaching track here and he was surprised at the lack of interest in track as there was both a district and state track meet. The track team was built around several veterans while the rest of the 17 or 18 candidates were underclassmen who will be back next year. TENNIS The tennis team, under the guidance of Mr. Vaughn Weber, got under way with a full crew of enthusiastic players. The tennis team this year played much the same schedule as the baseball team, the only difference coming during non-conference games. The tennis team of last year showed that small schools can play good tennis, and Mr. Weber and his boys were out to make it two championship teams in a row.

The G.A.C. was a little late in getting organized this year. and. as a result, the tumhling and volleyball seasons were cut short. Basketball, by far the most popular sport, saw the usual large turnout. Unfortunately the frequent change of advisers made it impossible to conduct a tournament. All four classes having bad strong teams makes it difficult to say who would have taken the championship. Badminton, which ranks second on the list of sports favorites, boasted a large turnout, also. Nancilou l.aing and Joan McGill, tournament champs, found some pretty stiff competition along the way.

It was the story of a returned veteran and his folks, who thought he was quite a problem. How- ever, Ronald wasn’t as much a problem as his par- ents thought he was, and was simply undergoing the change from adolescence to manhood, and the amusing perplexing escapades were merely those any parents had to face in a natural life time. —65— Baile de los antiquosde la escuela Top to bottom: Brostrom, Jurkovich, Morrison, Hawkings, Berentson.

Benny is still working at the Plywood and Meralene has used all her artistic talents in furnishing their all plywood love nest. It even has plywood curtains. PATTY SHERIN—These days you wouldn’t know Patty—some fiend switched a bottle of Purex for her per- oxide bottle and you should see her hair—The only hair that color in the U. S. except on a bird. MARY STEWART—Mary’s running a place called the Little Red Hen.” She won’t admit it’s a tavern; she says it is a cafe and their specialty is stew. You can believe that; every customer that comes out is stewed. BETTY SURYAN—Upon passing through the flats one might see Betty Suryan Jurkovich out pulling the plow while hubby John pushes. They needed the horse to carry their numerous bambinos to school. FRANCES SURYAN—They call her Cuddles” now—We always knew she’d make good—she’s a model! Yes. that’s our Franny! She’s modeling longies in the Bon. BEV. THOMPSON—Bev. has a little concession next to the Mayflower bakery—She’s doing a landslide business selling the holes out of glazed doughnuts for $1.00 a dozen. Nobody has caught on yet. DOROTHY WAGNER—Everyone predicted a dark future for Dottie. They were so-o-o-o right! She’s in the photographv business now. and tho her photography may not be so good she knows all about what to do in the dark room—That’s what she tells the customers too! LEONA ANDRICH—Leona can be found up by the graveyard most any night now. She and Claude decided to save wear and tear on the car and have moved up there. JOANNE HAWKINGS—Joanne now has two daughters of high school age. and remembering the trouble she had in shool every night you’ll see Ma and the two kids out running around the football field with a flashilght. NORMA HEBERT— Is now a widow with fourteen little Andersons to take care of. Gene very nobly willed his brain to the U. of W. so Norma now gets a dollar a day for each one of the little ones. MARY HUTTON—Mary is now working in Seattle in a dress shop for stout women. She’s modeling kuttle- bone korsets with “that stylish s-t-re-t-ch” for stout ladies so she can keep going to Tacoma to sec LeRoy. BEVERLY JACOBSON—Has been spending all of her spare time running back and forth between Tacoma and Seattle where she stands on 1st and Union with a guitar and a tin cup collecting money for her bus ticket. FRAN MARICICH and Floyd bought a sail boat a few years back and headed for the South Pacific. Just lately there was a picture in the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC of Floyd in a sarong and poor Fran shooing away the insects with a big palm leaf. SHIRLEY OWENS, a rather quiet girl in high school, seemed to go berserk. She’s now on her twentieth husband and is the talk of all Paris. BOB BRODIE—Well, it’s fifteen years now since the class of '47 graduated, and Bob is still trying to get up enough nerve to tell Colleen he won't wash dishes any more. KENNY HOLLAND has achieved nationwide fame as razor blade ad for: “Don’t let five o’clock shadow do this to you!” JOHNNY JURKOVICH—Remember when everybody thought Johnny was going to go to college and play football? Well, he got to college but he’s not playing football. He’s on the tiddly-wink team at Fredonia Tech, and plays left tiddly! PAUL KAGER is operating a peanut farm in Georgia. His big product is peanut milk! That’s right! When asked how he got it he said he used a low stool. DON MARLEY now has one of the most unique jobs on the radio. He makes the buzzing Sound between programs so the audience won’t get bored! MERRILL MARRS has collected pieces from all the motorcycles he’s wrecked during the years and has fashioned himself a motor driven wheelchair with which he burns up the ground—around the hospital. NOLAN MARSHALL and Colleen finally got hitched and Nolan claims she had to ask him three times ’cause his mom told him to play hard to get. MYRON MERRILL is now in Hollywood. You’ve heard of ’The Voice,” ’The Nose,” and “The Haircut.” Well, Myron is now known as The Foot.” His newest picture is “The Beast with Eight Toes.” SULLY finally got enough money saved up from his fishing and guess what he’s going now? He bought the Rivoli and just sits and directs the strip teasers by the hour. The only thing is, the only girls he could get were Eskimos—but Sully doesn’t seem to care. —90— PHYLLIS BENJAMIN—Phyllis and Dick arc still at Summit Park in the little grocery. Now that prohibi- tion is here again we hear she’s started running her old still again. She doesn’t admit she even knows what a bootlegger is but watch her grab Pa and the shotgun whenever she hears somebody yell Rev- noors!” ANNETTE BESSNER—The days of the gay house parties Bezzie used to have over on Guemes are gone now. Bezzie’s in the eighth year at Whitman—people think she’s dumb, but have you seen the men over there? BARBARA BROWN settled down at her typewriter and in two years revised Webster’s Dictionary. It now contains every cuss word known to mankind and Barbara. PAT BROWN went to Alaska a few years back. She’sgiving jitterbug lessons to the natives and gets paid in otter and seal skins. You otter see all the skins I’ve got,” she sez. EVELYN EDWARDS took over the job Dave used to have back in ’47. She’s driving the same little Ford school bus—and some of the same Summit Park kids are still riding it! CAROLYN ELDER is the fat lady in Barnum Bailey’s circus. She’s been eating Wheaties for nigh on to eight years now and at long last weighs 100 pounds! COLLEEN FLINN is still carrrying on as she did years ago. Every Monday she hangs up the wash and every Monday she falls through the porch. Although she is still called Kitten Hips” she weighs 187 pounds and they’re having to build a new porch. BILL McIVOR—Bill is now head instructor at one of Arthur Murray’s dance studios. He charges two dol- lars a lesson. (That’s about twenty-five cents per corn. He’s doing so well he’s hired an assistant just to watch his carnation. KATHLEEN MEAGHER—It was in the gold rush of ’69 that Kathleen met her present husband. She was re- turning from her claim one evening, when she spied a tall, good-looking stranger coming her way. Not having a handkerchief handy, she (quite accidentally, of course) dropped her pick-axe. The stranger rushed to pick it up. and—well, it was love at first sight. MIKE MILAT—Mike now runs Dybbro’s Meat Market; and he’s a darn good butcher, too. His thumbs weigh a pound and a half. If a customer comes in and wants half a pound of round steak, he gets half a pound of round steak—tin foil and all. DAVE MOONEY—Dave is still working at Lyle’s Grocery. But he is no longer a lowly delivery boy. He is now—(fanfare)— Official Potato Sorter!” JACK MORELOCK—Jack has managed to eke out an existence on the money he’s made in his restaurant at the corner of Eighth and Commercial. Jack’s Jip Joint,” he calls it. “Jip is right! You even have to pay for the toothpicks. MARILYN MORRISON—You all remember Queenie, the strip tease artist? Well, she finally hit the big time. Despite hard work and heart-breaking failures, she came up, step by step, and now enjoys top billing in a little theater on First and Jackson in Seattle. NORINE OLDOW—Norine has become the Tommy Manville of her day. (She just divorced her eighth hus- band.) But she carries on. undaunted, remembering always the motto she borrowed from Will Rodgers: I never saw a man I didn’t like!” JOYCENE POLLEY—Joycene is working at Milat’s Meat Market, and is doing very well. At first she had a little difficulty, though. It seems that she learned in school that two and two are four, and fifty cents from a dollar leaves fifty cents. But when she went to work for Mike, she had to learn arithmetic all over again. HARRIET PUTNAM—Harriet has become a deep sea diver of the first water. (Pun unintended.) She loves her work, but complains that the sun, wind, and water bleach her hair. BEVERLY ROSENBLATT—Beverly swore up and down she’d never get married, but you ought to see her now—the mother of eleven lovely children, and another on the way. JUNIOR SEMAN—After graduating. Junior got to thinking it over, and decided to give up his wild ways. He went into the ministry, and later became an evangelist—a very successful one. too. His fire-and- brimstone preaching has won thousands of converts. LORENE SILVERNAIL—Morrie is still in the Navy, and. for years, was stationed in France. So Lorene went over to be with him. They just recently returned. What a wonderful sight as the whole family (17 in all) clambered upon the deck as the ship steamed into New York harbor. It was the first time the Statue of Liberty ever thumbed her nose at anyone. LOIS SPARKS—Lois has grown disgustingly obese, and for a long time has enjoyed the dubious honor of being the fattest known woman in the world; five hundred two and three fourths pounds, to be exact. —91— DON STROM—Don has changed his last name to “Juan,” and is the delight of all the Mexican senoritas. Yes, he’s a matador; and can he throw the - - • • ! BARBARA SUMEY—Boobara has joined the Salvation Army, and has given her life to Army work. She be- came a missionary some years back and was lastseen paddling down the Congo River in a birch bark canoe. VERNE TINGLEY—Verne, who used to be so quiet and shy, is now the Big Boss of Chicago’s underworld. And he’s tough, too! Those who’ve seen him say he makes A1 Capone look like a pansy. DICK TWETEN—Dick and Berdena arc blissfully happy in their little vince-covered cottage on Eighth and Q. But we want you to understand that Dick wears the pants in that family. But only because Berdena looks a little chubby in slacks. But, then, don’t they all? JOHN WINTER—John wasn’t exactly the hardest-working person in the world, but he was certainly one of the best salesman. He could sell snowballs to Eskimos. And he’s still at it, but on a larger scale, of course. He’s a pitiful sight sitting there on his feet (that way everybody thinks his legs are cut off), with his dark glasses, and hat full of pencils. FLOYD WISEMAN—Floyd wasn’t home when we dropped in, but we asked his mother what he was doing these days. Twenty years at Alcatraz,” she answered, bursting into tears. ART MESFORD—Art kept on with his singing, and is now a member of a quartet known as the “Stink Spots.” We don’t know how good they are, but we heard that the Lucky Strike Company offered them five thuosand a week to go on the Chesterfield Supper Club. JANICE HAUGE—Janice was about to receive the final decree in her divorce suit against Bill, when, quite suddenly, they decided to call the whole thing off. Friends say their 13 children had much to do with the reconciliation. BILL KEISSER—Bill has become the Tony Camillo of Anacortes. He owns a gambling ship, which operates just outside the Straits of Juan de Fuca. And his little establishment is said to be a landslide business. EVERETT KEOWN—We found out that Mickey’s secret ambition was to become a dancer; and he finally made it. He is now the graceful star of a ballet troupe, currently touring the country. VIER KIMBREL—Vier finally got that old car of his fixed—except for one little thing. There’s still a crack in the block. But then, nobody in that family is very bright. LOREN LAMBERT—Loren’s first love has always been the “theatah, and early in life he decided he would be an actor. So after graduating, he hitch-hiked to New York, and eventually got a job as understudy for a famous Broadway star. However, when the show went on the road, the star was unable to go along, so Loren was assigned the leading role. I don’t know if his acting had anything to do with it or not, but after that the show didn’t do so well. They were playing a lot of Western towns at the time, in which the audiences were made up mostly of cowboys. The latter brought their loaded six-shooters, but Loren didn’t mind. It was the only chance he had of getting something hot in his stomach. TOMMY LIAN—You will remember that the class of ’47 chose Tommy The Boy Most Likely to Succeed”? And we want you to know that ho has succeeded. You know that singing commercial where the girl says, “Gimme a package of Beeman’s Pepsin Chewing Gum, please”? Well, Tommy’s the one that gives it to her. MAXINE LINDELL—Maxine has become a woman wrestler of no mean ability. In her last match she threw King-kong” Cox in two rounds. GENE LUNDGAARD—Gene is making millions. He’s invented another of those tricky little dance steps. He’s the one that discovered the rhumba, you know. It happened one night when he was doing the waltz, and right in the middle of Beautiful Ohio , his suspenders broke! JEAN MacDONALD—Jean just couldn't make up her mind what she wanted to do after graduation. But after much cogitation, decided it might be fun to live in the country. So Jean MacDonald bought a farm, E. I. E. I. O. DON MANNEY—Don has retired on his savings, and is now living in luxury. (He was a former W. P. A. worker.) PHIL McCRACKEN—Phil (Frenchie) McCracken has taken over Lilly Dache’s business, and now runs “Ye Olde Hatte Shoppe” on Fifth avenue. His motto: “Only ze best for ze madam.” JERRY ALLAN—Jerry is temporarily out of a job. He used to be chief picker at Dybbro’s Meat Market, but was recently discharged. They didn’t like the way he spread on the shaving cream. RICHARD ALLEN—Poor Richard was one of the brightest young stars on the Hollywood horizon until grief over the loss of the most coveted role of the season made him decide to give up acting. Twenty years of rehearsing—then they gave it to Ray Miland. -92- GENE ANDERSON— Einstein,” like most geniuses, died young. But before he passed on, he willed his brain to the University of Washington Medical Association to be studied. And to their astonishment they found it was incredibly small and all dried up. They finally sold it to a policeman, who used it instead of a bean in his whistle. ALBERT BACETICH—A1 gave up the trumpet after he and Judy were married. (It kept the kids awake.) But he refused to give up music altogether, and for years retained his position as first paper and comb with the Anacortes Philharmonic. DUANE BERENTSON—Duane is now head coach at A. H. S. As of old, the team (which consists mainly of Johnny Jurkovich, Jr.. Gene Lundgaard, Jr., and Don Sullivan, Jr.) has been winning all their games. That is, until they found out it doesn’t count unless you play against boys. BERDENA BROSTROM—You all remember what a good dancer Berdena was? And in later years she took up soft shoe and tap dancing. She has become the acme of perfection in the latter. In fact, in three years she’s tapped her father completely dry. DALE CHRISTOPHERSON—You all remember what a good voice Dale had? Well, he’s now singing for a big opera company back East. Anyway. I think it’s an opera company; they call it Sing Sing.” KENNETH CHRISTOPHERSON—Kenny has become an undertaker, and now runs the Christopherson Fu- neral Parlor. He has even acquired the low, unctuous voice of these black-robed individuals, and smiles weirdly as he tells all his prospective patrons, I really like you . . . deep down under.” SHIRLEY CLAUSIUS—Shirley is now in her senior year at the New York Conservatry of Music. She and Margaret Truman are in the same racket. Margaret makes more money, but Shirley makes more racket. MAUREEN COLE—Quiet, bashful Maureen got mixed up with the wrong people in later life, and came to a very untimely end. She proved to be the leader of a murderous gang of dope peddlers. DARLENE CROUT—Darlene has become very successful; she makes scads of money ... in her basement. Now she’s thinking of taking a vacation, but can’t make up her mind where to go. And she’s afraid to ask anybody. VIRGINIA DETWILER—Ginny now owns her own Beauty Salon; and she has employed Red as manicur- ist’s helper. He’s a trouble shooter for annoying cuticles. LEONARD ENSIGN—Alas, poor Leonard is dead and gone. He was a window washer, and ... Oh! It was all too, too horrible! ... he stepped back to admire his work. JOANNE ERHOLM—Joanne is still working in a laundry, and is now married to her boss. Who’s her boss? A little man called Fu Tu Yu. Runs a Chinese laundry on Yesler Way in Seattle. YVONNE FONTAINE—Yvonne took the first boat back to her native France after her third marriage went on the rocks. Rumor has it that she is trying to forget. She was last seen in gay Paree with one of her many admirers in one arm and a champagne bottle in the other. VERNON FOWLER—Vernon, we learned, is no longer in town, but may be reached at Cell No. 5927, Tank 3, Block 6, San Quentin, Calif. CARL FRANTZ—Always a lover of adventure, Carl left home soon after graduating, hoping to be able to make that long dreamed of trip around the world. He was doing pretty well; he made it clear to the Orient, but there his trip ended abruptly. He was as assinated in the Chinese Revolt of 1972. CHARLEY FUNK—Charley has become a very successful business man, and is making money hand over fist. He runs a Charmode factory in San Perdu. DON GRAHAM—Don has become, of all things, a composer. Anyway we heard he helped Stowkowski finish his fifth. GURNEY JACQUELINE—Jacqueline has changed her last name to Menhouin, and. until recently, played first violin with the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. You’ll notice we said “until recently”. A horrible embarrassment forced her to resign her position. It was the opening night; and they were playing before a crowd of 15,000. when, right in the middle of the eighty-fourth bar-her G-string broke! VIC HAGLUND—Vic now has a wonderful job; and he, Phyllis, and bambinos are very happy. He started at the bottom, and after many years of back-breaking work, has achieved the position of head cigarette-butt dispenser at Skagit Trails”. BOB HALVORSON—Poor Bob. He just can’t get a job. Everywhere he goes it’s the same answer. “Sorry, but we’ve already hired our side show freaks for this season.” Final We would like lo thank the following for the help they have given us in publishing I he 19-17 Rhododendron.
