C. NORDGAARD Mr. H. C. Nordgaard, continuing as superintendent of Brainerd schools for his third year, has carried out his duties very efficiently. As our chief executive he has many responsibilities, a few of which are allotting expenditures, making the school budget, and supervising the administrative duties of all the schools. PRINCIPAL G. B. BLACKFORD Mr. G. B. Blackford has been at the head of the Washington High School for thirteen years. He runs the school properly and efficiently, and has various other duties to perform. Some of them are: supervis- ing the school activities, disciplining the students, and making school records. Mr. Blackford is willing to give helpful advice and suggestions to many of the students' scholastic problems. Reading Maketh a Full Man i Lois White, B.S. CU. of Minnesotal A- Librarian, Library Club 'g.., ' - ' ' THE FINE ARTS PROMOTE CULTURE Washington High School has aimed to stimulate an interest in the fine arts as a preparation for more complete living. Both the band and the choir have offered our students much experience and enioyment in the study of music. We have been taught the fundamentals in the Rudiments of Music classes. Our library is well stocked with about 5,700 volumes covering all subjects. The art classes were kept busy with their regular requirements plus the extra help they gave by supervising th decorations for the prom and making posters.

Several well trained English teachers are trying to help all students develop the art of correct word usage. Other than this we study the literature of both American and 'For- eign authors in our English classes. Young minds are easily influenced, therefore teaching the pupils to read good literature is an important task of all teachers.

Our school offers instruction in three different languages - Spanish, German, and Latin. These classes are as interesting as they are educational because they are conducted by .able and well trained instructors. A person who can speak before a group with ease has really accomplished something. Under the experienced guidance many students are learning to do this and are thus improving their chances for advancement.

SENIGRS ACHIEVE GOAL At last we have achieved the ultimate goal of every high-school student. Although completing our high school education as the product of the combined efforts of many teachers, thinking as seniors we must realize that we enter the world as novices, with much to learn. Also, as seniors we must strive to excell in the principles that were stressed by our teachers. Although the present outlook is anything but pleasant, we must think and act like leaders of tomorrow. Only if our mental and moral stand- ards remain at their highest level can we look forward to a life of happiness and security. Leading the class through it's most eventful year was our president, Jack Hubbard. It was largely through his efforts that the annual social functions were successful. Besides presiding over the all-important cabinet meetings, he was master of ceremonies at the Christmas Banquet. Presiding in the absence of the president was Bill Sweet, who served in the capacity of vice- president. The job of keeping the books went to Joan Fitzsimmons, who continued her ad- ministrative duties for a second year. Karen Page 20 Anderson, as secretary, was responsible for re- cording the proceedings of the meetings. The Senior Class of 1951 may well be proud of its officers for the fine manner in which they carried out the wishes of the entire group. We realize that theirs was a tedious task and we were fortunate to have such capable leaders. Seniors generally represent an initial part of the sports program and this year was no differ- ent. Two senior boys received high awards for their athletic prowess. Ed Bondy was named All-Conference in football, while Jim Smith was chosen All-State in basketball. On both squads many of the graduating class will be sorely missed next year. Being a senior has its relaxing moments also. This year we sat back and watched the juniors work feverishly on the annual Spring Prom, then stepped in the gym after all the decorations were up and had a wonderful time. Another restful affair was the Spring Tea, prepared by the junior class for the seniors and their mothers. We can't forget Skip Day and the good times enjoyed while the underclassmen slaved over cold books in hot rooms. So Much to Do For an outstanding class, an outstanding ring.

White Lilac But all of this seemed iust a build-up to gradu- ation. Final tests reminded us that we weren't yet finished, but we could feel that it wasn't far off. Of course, next on the agenda was Baccalaureate, May 27. Now there were iust two important things left. The first of these was taken care of when we marched to the cemetary for Memorial Day exercises. Then, finally, the most important of all, Commencement. The speaker was O. J. Jerde of St. Cloud Teachers College. We finally had the scroll which signifies to everyone that we have successfully graduated from high school. Now we feel a little older, a little more digni- fied, a little more responsible. We fully realize that this is just the first step on the road of life that everyone must travel. We also realize that whether or not we travel farther than others depends largely upon the mode of transporta- tion we employ.

SCHOOLS S AN DARD The National Honor Society is a group of students picked from the upper third of the iunior and senior classes by the 'Faculty and students. They are leaders in the activities in school and have character that is outstanding. The services they preform are many in number and are easily recognized. They live by the tour standards of scholarship, character, leadership, and service, and hope to influence others to do the same. mmcmm.

Britti JUNIORS CONTRIBUTE TO SCHOOL ACTIVITIES -Clearing the trails for the Junior Class of I95'I were its capable class officers and cabinet. They managed the Junior- Senior Prom which was held May TI amid gaity and colorfulness. The hearty woodsmen of the junior class placed high among the members of the football, basketball, and track teams. Sing- in the choir and playing in the band were also some of their favorite activities. They contributed much loyal support to the two groups which developed into very excellent musical or- ganizations. Miss Dorothy Larsen directed the junior class in the ever popular comedy, We Shook the Family Tree. The school year was climaxed by a picnic late in May that ended the year of Iog roIIing for the iunior class of 1951. I .,, -,,,- - ,,t- ' ' I , I , ....,. I ,,.,.,.. A X .. .-'Et 4 A I L . I.

STUDENT COUNCIL SERVES ALL Upon their return from the state student council convention held at Roosevelt High, Minneapolis, Margaret Trueblood and Jim DeRosier submit- ted new ideas for better student government to the council and the year's work was under way under the advisership of Miss Mary Torn- strom. Officers elected were Margaret Trueblood, president, Jim DeRosier, vice-president, Jack Mc Donald, secretary, Gloria Meyer, treasurer. Members of the organization participated in a series of 3-minute blackout comedy plays. They also staged a program to explain the purpose and achievements of the student council. One of their most commendable activities was the support of Jean Ferec, the school's adopted French boy. They carried out a suc- cessful homecoming program for football sea- son and allocated after-the-game dances to va- rious organizations during basketball season. Something new was added during the year in the line of student government, that of hav- ing student monitors in the halls and cafeteria during noon hour. At the beginning of the second semester they obtained a room and decorated it for a meet- ing place. ln the spring they prepared a banquet to honor the members of the National Honor Page 56 Packing clothes for children overseas: N.

Di Tommaso gave up time during .the noon hour to teach those in- terested the art of chess playing. Everyone that belonged to this club found it a very interesting and skill-testing game. It certainly requires thinking when one of the kings or queens gets in a difficult position. Many people will have heard of the good times the chess club had this past year. They certainly look forward to an increasing membership in the future. Row 3: F. Rosel, E. Slipp, J. Davidson, J. Graham, B. Dash, J. Hill. Row 2: R. Baakkonen, H. Thorsen, T. Dullum, J. Enfield, R.

The year's achievements included the purch- asing of white sweatshirts with the Warrior decal on them. Two big parties were the reward of these students, who so faithfully lead the Warrior cheers at both the football- and basket- ball games.

Year pins, miniature keys, symbols of the Junior Homemaking degree, miniature scrolls which signify the achievements of the Chapter Home- making degree were awarded. The F. H. A. then began working for a State Homemaker degree, which called for extensive home and club work. Entertainment for the girls included parties during the school year, a district meeting in Willow River in October and an initiation party. National Future Homemakers of America week was observed in November by giving a tea for the teachers. A short program was given and light refreshments were served. The main money-making project for the F. H. A. was a one-act comedy, Little Darling, which was presented for the enjoyment of the student body at a homeroom program in February. This play financed the banquet which was held in the spring. The unfortunate freshmen being welcomed into the Ruby Norwood pouring at the teachers' tea. F.H.A.

CHOIR SINGS TO ENCGUR GE QTHER The Washington High Choir aimed to stimulate an interest in good music that would be a source of lasting satisfaction and a prepar- ation for more complete living. To the seventy mixed voices that composed its membership and ta the rest of the student body, the choir played a vital role. The members reflected the 'Feeling and expression of its able director, Mr. Curtis Hansen. Throughout the year they gave short programs for the Rotary Club, the Exchange Club, and for the student body at both Washing- ton High and Franklin Jr. High. This organization made several concert appearances with the band. At the Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises they presented appropiate numbers. On April 2 and 3 the choir toured to Minneapolis where they sang at the Northrup Auditorium over the University of Minnesota Station, KUOM. They presented a short concert at the Minnesota State Capitol at St. Paul and were received in the Governor's private reception hall. For entertainment they visited the Ford plant of Minneapolis. ln order to finance this trip the choir sponsored a bake sale, ci school carnival, and a magazine sale. On February 'IA the Brainerd group entertained the district schools at a choral clinic. Carl Thompson from Bemidii State Teacher's College and Lyle Gilbert from Edina-Morningside High School acted as critics. ln the evening a massed choir presented a varied program for the public. Six ensembles appeared at the district music festival held at Staples. Of these entries five received A ratings. These groups were always ready to appear at the various church and civic groups in the city. Another organization created under the leadership of Mr. Curtis Hansen was the Girls' Glee Club. This gave the girls who did not belong to choir a chance to participate in a choral group.

YEA, RAH, RAH, TEAM Cheerleading looks like fun, say all the sports spectators, because Karel Nordgaard, Marlyss Albertson, Larry Karnow- ski, Ardys Martinson, and Pete Peterson make it look like the fun it really is. All those T-E-A-M's wouldn't have been a success without the leadership of the guardians of the spirit. B squad cheerleaders lead the pep at B games and substituted for absent A squad cheerleaders. The advisor for both groups was Miss Mary Ann Kovarik. The cheerleaders attended the Cheerleading Clinic in Staples on January 15. They then iourneyed on to Minneapolis to support the team at the Field House in the St. Paul Humboldt game, stopping at St. Cloud the next night tor the memorable Brainerd-St. Cloud game. After a successful cheering season, we, the spectators, have decided that without the colorful yells of our cheer- leaders, the pep at the pep-tests and games would have lacked the spirit to boost the team on to their many victories.
