Tonish Q O Activities which help the students to develop and control their body movements and co-ordination abilities compose the courses in physical education. A program of activity is planned which contains gymnastics, athletic games, and recreational sports. Boys' and girls' physical education classes participate in various stages of tumbling, sports, and rhythms throughout the school year. This constant practice contributes to the develop- ment of greater technique and strength inthe individual. Organic powers and muscular skills are strengthened through regular sessions of play, recreation, and fundamental exercises. The chief purpose of physical education training is to encourage and maintain good posture, better health, and greater physical and mental efficiency. Don C.

IO 'Q,w Vangelis'- I sf 'ik 'f Marie Dumheck and Gary Olson study world affairs for social science ' pddl Wanda The study of history deals with the recordings of the past rises and developments of human life, its enduring stresses, as well as its lasting values. Classes of history extend the interest and concern of the in- dividual student in international cooperation and maintenance of democratic ideals in social, economic, and political arrange- ments. Sophomores learn phases of world history, iuniors study the history of our country, and seniors become informed on the social sciences and everyday world affairs. Knowledge of historic fundamentals develops values in the student that will serve as guidance toward high standards of conduct and ethical living. History also prepares individuals to create and live effectively in an interdependent society through inspired interests and stimulated high ideals.

Development of reasoning power and concentrational abilities result from many hours spent in the biology, physics, and chem- istry classrooms.

In forming the neucleus and foundation of our education, math- ematics, too, plays a highly important role.

Under Old Glory, My inspired symbol - I am set to conquer new tyrants, Derelicts adrift on seas of change. Higher l lift my torch To light a new order Wide as earth. Mine is the eagle's path, And I spread my wings For greater flights - To unconquered heights - With an eye that's fixed On the Vilcing's star That will shine Until the end ot time. We build with the hands only what mind has looked ahead. S , , , W -Ewa rf I 2? 3 f I x' .o I X yw fgwi' J we ,f 4 ,ff 'Q J 1, ., w V? 3711. ha gig, 4 H, x ,fTQ,L, . f. wh.

Chosen to lead the new students of Wash- ington High School were - Fred Anderson, president, Lee Ann Swanson, vice-president, John Favrou, secretary, and Joyce Vroman, treasurer. Elected to help the officers perform their duties were cabinet members, Karen Peterson and Robert Gatchell. Representing the freshmen class in the student government of Washington High were Gailene Benson and Fred Anderson, the two freshmen student council members. Giving the freshmen leaders consul and aid were the class advisers, Mr. Delbert Dake and Miss Wilda Miller.

Adm: 'Wad 2-'aww The Art Club, under the supervision of Miss Helen Marshall, was busy throughout the year giving their fullest co-operation to other school functions. They made several posters dis- playing the activities of these groups. At the beginning of the year an organ- izational meeting was held at which the fol- lowing were selected to head the group: Sharon Brown, president, Beverly Graff, vice-president, and Francis Ruhl, secretary-treasurer. Participating in the annual fall snake dance each Art Club member wore his own headdress exemplifying the Brainerd Warriors. This added to the enthusiastic spirit of Wash- ington High's homecoming. Other activities included an art exhibition which consisted of soap and wood carvings which were openly displayed to the students. Also a Sadie Hawkins Day party was held to begin the social activities. Helping solve the group's financial pro- blems, the Art Club in coniunction with the craft group sold Christmas wrap'ping typical of Brainerd. They also made seventy fez hats for the Shriners.

Much credit is due to the fine advisers Miss Katherine Torgerson and Miss Margaret Ruud. The annual M.H.S.P.A. convention was attended last fall in Minneapolis where two days of meetings were attended on the pro- duction of a school paper. Auditorium programs and a dance were sponsored during the year. One of the pro- grams featured the giving of a live turkey, the mystery prize, to Phyllis Wicklund after drawing a name from all the Pow-Wow sub- scribers. A student-faculty quiz was also held for the third year in front of the student body. lt continued to be a very uproarius program.

Miss Irma Dell Adams, business staff ad- viser, supervised the financial undertakings and Miss Cordelia Nelson guided the editorial staff in their accomplishments. After the page positions and sequences had been drawn up, photographers' assignments be- Y gan, copy writing and lay-outs were underway, deadlines were scheduled, and the maior pro- ject of publishing and editing a yearbook was officially launched. Dedication honors went to Governor C. Elmer Anderson, a graduate of Washington High School. Maior hi-lite of the year took place in Sep- tember when thirteen iuniors and seniors iourneyed to Minneapolis for the annual press convention.

This contribution was not only given to the members of the choir, but also to every member of W.H. S. The choir has given W.H.S. a fine reputation through many singing engagements to distant towns. It was the concert at the M.E.A. con- vention in St. Paul, which the choir points to with pride. It was in the St. Paul Auditorium that these representatives from Brainerd sang before a capacity crowd of 12,000 people. All concerts were not out of town, however.

Gus, the maid, found out she was too smart, so she went of to college. Martha Huntington's tea was ruined and Laurie seemed to be in quite a turmoil. Laurie, after realiizing that family love and pride was more important than heredity and in- tellect, patched things up for everyone includ- ing herself. In doing so, she got her father quite a business deal. This play turned out to be a real comedy.

The fact that the two girls and one son had now reached maturity and were all in love at the same time proved a rather hectic time for David and his wife, Mary. Jeremy, the son was raised to follow in his father's footsteps, but suddenly reiected the ministry for the love of Peggy, a farmer's daughter. Faith rebelled against her first love, John Harvey and finally found happiness in a second Lucy fell des perotely in love with Ninian, ayoung mllllon alre s son, and faced trouble with the boy s lndustrialist father and brittle sophisticated mother. A self-satisfied group of gossipmongers in the congregation, and the affectionate battles with an eccentric bachelor added to David's problems. Through efforts and plotting of Mary and the girls, David's dreams were within grasp. Their lustre faded and he chose to remain in the country parish. 6445 Rev. David Lyall Faith Lyall . . .

Coach Ed Tonish's crew marched all the way four times with Du- ane Lindberg and George Montgomery each picking up two touchdowns. The team had trouble with the extra points and several combinations were tried before Bill Selisker managed to come up with a conversion. The second out-of-town game also found Brainerd ahead although a ragged first quarter saw Park Rapids with the lead, Brainerd finally won 20-6. Bill Selisker threw a pass to Jon Jelacie to tie the game 6-6 and later went over from the two, putting the Warriors ahead. Lindberg then flipped a pass to Selisker from his own 37 to register the final points. The St. Cloud game was a hard fought, heart break- ing tilt which Brainerd lost 'I4-7. The Warriors were un- successful two times when they lost the ball in the shadow of the goal. After another long march Selisker made it over from the ten yard line. This was truly a close game, the team was never outplayed, only out- pointed. The Warriors won their second home game at the ex- pense of Staples, 24-0. To start the game, Selisker threw a pass to Gotfred Olson for the first touchdown and Keck scored the second TD from the three yard line. In the final quarters Hendricks caught a pass and later- aled to Montgomery for a touchdown. Later, Montgomery did the passing and Lindberg also reached the goal stripes.

Brainerd couldn't get going in the first half and the Flyers proceeded to make three touchdowns. Brainerd had control of the ball most of the time from the second half on but couldn't quite rack up those crucial points. Our only TD was scored from their 42 yard l ine on a short pass from Montgomery to Blair Holm. The Aitkin game only furthered the team's losing streak and wrecked Brainerd's homecoming. The Gob- blers capitalized on many Warrior fumbles to win 19-l2. Lindberg and Kenley Keck made some nice runs to get the ball in scoring territory. From there, Selisker scored on a screen pass from Montgomery. In the second half W.H.S. again marched the field and Selisker went over from the six. Crosby-lronton managed to recover the Little Brown Jug for the first time in the last six years and we were humbled 25-7. The Brainerd points were scored when George Montgomery intercepted the ball on their six yard line and lateraled it to Bill Selisker who ran 96 yards. The seemingly spiritless Warriors couldn't con- nect and were defeated by an inspired C-l team. The final game was a gratifying end of the season for the Tonishmen as they squashed Fergus Falls 37-0. The Warriors got off to a good start and Bill Selisker scored three TD's in the first half. ln the last two quarters it was someone else's tum as Len Hildebrandt scored two touchdowns and Kenley Keck one. The War- riors finished a good season and look forward to a better one next year.

'x 'J XX xi PAUL MocPH ERSON Senior MELROSE The Brainerd Warriors opened their schedule at St. Johns, where they clipped the Melrose Dutchman 55-49. Better re- bounding in the second half saved the Warriors as they came from behind. The Warriors' scoring was balanced as Bill Selisker and Rodney and Byron Skoog hit double figures. ST. CLOUD TECH Moving to St. Cloud Tech the Kellettmen edged Tech 54-50. The tribe again had to come from behind, after trailing 15-6 in the first quarter. The second quarter's plunge brought the team to o slim 27-25 lead which they never relinquished during the rest of the game. ST. CLOUD CATHEDRAL The Warriors displaying poor ball handling and cold shoot- ing were drubbed 6l-43 by the Cathedral quintet. The Cru- saders taking advantage of the Warriors cold night took an early lead and were never behind Cathedrals' Plombon and Jerry Meligan of Brainerd were their teams high scorers with 'l8 and 15 respectively. LITTLE FALLS The Warriors showing terrific outroust shooting kept the district record in tact, tripping the Little Falls Flyers 63-52. The Flyers had but one lead at the start of the first quarter but couldn't keep up with Selisker's long shots and Byron Skoog's terrific rebounding. STAPLES The Warriors started very slowly at Staples and the Cardi- nals took advantage of it. They led the tribe until the fourth quarter when Selisker and Hildebrandt teamed up for 'I9 points and gave them a 63-52 win,' their third straight in C-6 compe- tition. VIRGINIA The Warriors' Christmas stocking was filled with two de- l 4?

The Blue Devils of Virginia handed the Warriors the first defeat on the home court to the tune of 56-42. The Warriors couldn't cope with Virginia's zone defense, and had a bad night shooting. WADENA The Warriors showing some of their old form broke back into the column defeating the Wadena Indians 55-45. The tribe's shooting eye was sharper as they hit well from the outside, making Wadena's zone useless. Brainerd held an 'l8-9 first quarter lead and at one time lead by 18 points. CROSBY IRONTON The Warriors, minus their scoring ace Bill Selisker, bat- tled the C-l Rangers to a standstill before bowing 65-55. The game was close until the final minutes, but after four of Brainerd's starters had fouled out they were no match for the scrappy Rangers. AITKIN The Aitkin Gobblers handed the Kellettmen their fifth set- back of the year by the score of 46-43 on the Gobblers' home court. Although Jim Samuell was held to only four points, it wasn't enough as the Warriors fell to third place in the C-6 standings and a .500 average for the year. STAPLES Staples ended our losing streak by being defeated 66-42. Over half of the rebounds were snatched by Byron Skoog who also piled up 'I9 points. Bill Selisker played his usual out- standing game as did Jon .lelacic who held down high scoring Jim Markfelder. C-I A hot, smooth playing tribe swamped league leading C-I 64-48. After the half time score 37-15, the Rangers put on a short lived rally.

MOORHEAD A highly rated Moorhead team was set back by the road weary Kellettmen 74-42. After a slow first quarter, we came from behind 28-23 at the half. Selisker sparked the team in the third and we soon left the Spuds in the dust. AITKIN The next one was a close exciting seesaw tilt in which we outscored the Gobblers 61-58. Aitkin had a slight edge over us during most of the contest until Selisker and the Skoogs broke up the Aitkin zone and put us ahead. ST. CLOUD The high riding Kellettmen trounced St. Cloud 65-40 and proved the Warriors were an evenly balanced team as four men hit double figures and eleven broke into the scoring column. The hopes were soaring as we were now tied for first place. FERGUS FALLS The Otters were slaughtered by our high scoring machine as Selisker scored 20, Byron Skoog 16, Hildebrandt 14, and Jelacic 12. The game was considered undecisive because 6'9 Waylander was unable to play due to an iniury. WADENA The Warriors were slowing down from their torrid pace al- though they scalped the Indians 71-44 on their own floor. A high percentage of free throws and a good show of reserves finished cellar-dwelling Wadena. LITTLE FALLS A cold tribe came close to getting racked by the fourth place Flyers.

District Tournaments PINE RIVER Brainerd tore into the District Tournaments and downed scrappy but outclassed Pine River 76-35. The Warriors didn't really start to click until the second quarter and from then on it was no longer a game. Four of the tribe hit double figures. LITTLE FALLS Little Falls again gave the Warriors a bad time before bowing out 65-49. The Flyers fast break and a slow start on Brainerd's part gave them an early lead. Later we broke the Little Falls zone and ended the game with a comfortable lead. CROSBY IRONTON These traditional foes met in the district finals with the Warriors ending on top of the heap 54-45. A good defensive showing by Brainerd tied C-I's hands while the team ran wild offensively. A last ditch rally was stopped and we were Dis- trict champs. Regional Toumament MELROSE A good Melrose team was shot out of the saddle by the better Washington High Quintet 59-57. Beautiful floorwork and Bill Selisker's 26 points destroyed the Dutchmen's hopes and assured the Warriors of second place in the Regionals. MOORHEAD The Warriors lost the regional championship to o com- pletely improved Moorhead five 56-49. Selisker's 24 points weren't enough although the score changed hands several times before the Spuds finished on top. Fred Kel lett and everyone on the team have good reason to be proud of their fine record. Q' 0- , P f ' F 1 Ss... W fl A l I 1-0' 59' Y Q 4 ,wx ' fs. Q .

The large group of almost one hundred girls elected their officers in the beginning of the school term. Heading the girls were Roena Betts, president, Carole King, vice president, Joye Norwood, secretary, and Pat Smith, treasurer. A cabinet, composed of two girls from each class, was elected later to help plan the activi- ties for the l952-53 season. Seniors elected were - Kay Blanchard and Joan Scull, iuniors - Leona Berczyk and Virginia Kyar, sophomores - Gloria Kuklco and Donna Lesmeisterp and fresh- men - Charlene Kostek and Janice Mel by. Cabinet plans for a Play-Day. Swing your partners girls! O I I The first social event of the year was the large annual initiation party. Following the initiation the girls held a pot luck supper in the school cafeteria. Early in the fall the girls also sponsored a doughnut and cider party in the Lincoln gym. The whole school was invited and the evening was spent in square dancing, in iitterbugging, and in social dancing. The party was climaxed with a lunch prepared by some ofthe girls. The girls sponsored the second Play-Day which was a huge success. Girls from several neighboring towns attended and spent the day playing volleyball, basketball, and other games. With the help of some of the mothers, a lunch was served for all the Brainerd girls and visi- tors. At the conclusion of the year, awards were given to all ofthe deserving members. 99 Practicing volleyball before the tournament Co-ordination and balance are taught in tumbling A iump during a practice basketball game.
