By taking part in many of the schools extra curricular activities, Max learned much of the Amer- ican way of lite. He was active in the Student Council, Debate Team, Current Events, and in the Student City Government election, Max was elected city assessor. Finding time in his crowded schedule for athletics he also participated in track, specializing in the halt-mile run. Max was also one of fourteen Homecoming Escorts elected by his classmates. ln July, Max will return to his native land, after spending a year in our country. l.

F.H.A. Eclucates Future Homemakers Educating tuture homemakers can well be said of the Future Homemakers of America. The group, consist- ing of forty-tive members, was successfully led through the '54-'55 season by their able advisers, Miss Doris Braun and Miss Muriel Harper. Early in the fall, during National F.H.A. Week, the girls planned and served a banquet, with the girls' mothers as guests. Many other social events took place during the year. As an outside service project, the girls made nut cups for a children's hospital. They also served Wash- ington High by giving the trophy case a much needed cleaning, vs Some F.H.A. girls clean and redecorate the trophy case. I Ji 31 .5 ..

Choir Acts s Composed of only sixty members, the Washington High School Choir filled the year with success, in the field of music as well as in many projects undertaken by the group. This success was due to the combined effort, ambition, and initiative shown from early fall until graduation. Many of Brainerd's leading organizations had the pleasure of listening to the choir's perfected music, which varied from the finest and most difficult music such as Bach's double choir matet, Sing Ye , to lighter music such as The Woodchuck Song . The local organizations who acted as hosts to the choir included the Lion's Club, the Rotary Club, and a Parent-teachers Association. The choir also displayed their musical talent at numerous public concerts, highlighted by the Christmas concert which was held in conjunction with the Girls' Olee Club and many local church choirs. Once again, they attained top ratings at both the district choir clinic in Little Falls and the state choir clinic in Minneapolis. With the phrase, On to Chicago indicating their goal, the choir members supported many rewarding projects. The first of these projects was a refreshment stand at each home game. Competing with the band, they held their annual magazine subscription drive BACK ROW: D. Mraz, L. Selisker, C. Hoenig, E. Clark, N. Shipman, H. Roske, C. Kyar, M. Harjes, D. Sullivan, D. Hoffman.

The choir members were also active at all home basketball games by checking coats and by sponsoring an after-game dance. Sponsoring a Julius Caesar movie and later the Concordia College Choir was part of their money-making scheme. Next on the agenda was a choir carnival with entertainment, games and refreshments. Last, but not least, the choir sponsored a donkey-basket- ball game at which many different local and school organizations competed. Having accomplished- the goal for their mission, the choir members stepped on the busses that took them to Chicago, Illinois. Here, they sang for the Sunday Evening Club at Orchestra Hall and also enjoyed the sights of the great Windy City . The group sang concerts at Eau Claire and Racine, Wis- consin onthe way to Chicago and one in Woodstock, illinois on the way home. After six days of fun for everyone, the choir arrived home tired, but thorough- ly happy in remembrance of their trip. The ambition of this talented group was due largely to their wonderful director, Mr. Curtis Hansen. His complete interest in the choir, each individual as well as their music, has given him a great deal of respect and praise in Brainerd. BACK ROW: B. Kinde, J. Norwood, T. Delk, D.

Traffic Patrol Ancl Science Club The Traffic Patrol, whose main outlook is for the safety of the students of Washington High, patrolled, for the first time, the corner of Ninth and Oak streets. The group was given special recognition for their fine work during the past years by Patrolman Dan McComas at a special auditorium call. Each member was given a special certificate of merit and an individual recognition before the whole student body. The boys along with their captain, Dan Peters, who was chosen for the second consecutive year, were honored guests at a Christmas banquet given by the American Legion. In the spring, their adviser, Mr. Bob Miller, accom- panied the group to an American Association Baseball ga-me in St. Paul. The Science Club, affiliated with the Junior Academy of Science, is primarily for students with scientific in- terests ot hobbies. This year, the Science Clubs of Minnesota were sponsored by a teacher's science group which was organized at MEA. Each member had his own individual project to which he devoted his spare time. Various fields of science were represented in the proiects which included radio transmitters, iet engines, and radiant heat. Mr. Moulton, adviser of the group, accompanied members to a regional science fair in the spring. Pro- jects were on exhibition and were demonstrated by each individual. Commercial iudges awarded prizes based mostly on originality of the proiects. Officers elected for the year were Jerry Wold, president: David Sundquist, vice-president: Ardyce Ed- strom, secretary: and Wayne Carlson, treasurer. BACK ROW: R. Vergin, J. Wold, D. Sund quist, R.

Once again, as they have in the past, the group proved to be active and dependable. Early in the year, the two organizations sponsored the student-government election in Washington High. Students filed for the various city offices, primary elec- tions were held, and then after the general elections, the winning candidates spent a day in the offices to which they were elected. The groups did most of their projects together. Many a foot-sore member will tell you of the many boxes of saltwater taffy they sold from house-to-house around the city. The officers of Hi-Y were: Dave Savageau, president, Tom Delk, vice president, Dave Twombly, secretary, Dean Olson, treasurer. Leading the Tri-Hi-Y were Ramona Erickson, president, Shirley Rowland, vice president, secretary, Joann John- son, and treasurer, Marlene Holst. One thing which the boys did on the-ir own, however, was to sponsor a ping-pong tournament in the fall. Winner of the boys division was Jim Guin, of the girl's division-Ardy Skoog. Taking time off from their many protects, the groups got together for a Christmas party on December l3. As a final money-maker to help them with their financial problems, members got together and produced a one-act play for the student body. 4. vp ,., fi BACK ROW: B. Thon, J. Melby, N. Fox, P.

Art Club Colors Th Sea Of Life After having doubled it's membership for the T954- TQ55 season, the Art Club of Washington High School scored another busy and extremely eventful year. The dependable adviser to this group was Miss Helen Marshall while the officers elected to serve them were-1 Kathryn Davis, president, Frances Flcinsburg, treasurer, and Arlene Furstenburg, secretary. Running first on the calendar of events for this season was an initiation picnic held at Lum Park in the late fall where twenty new members were success- fully initiated. At Christmas time the Art Club made and sold hand designed Christmas wrappings to help sponsor their trip to see the .Viinneapolis Art .Vluseum and the lce Follies in the spring. Various other events such as a candy sale, rummage sale and a very enioyable dance made this exciting trip possible. -9 BACK ROW: F. Orvola, B. Hellberg, C. Havn Wrignt N. Wolvert, R. Niesen, J.

Mrs. Frank Jensen demonstrated flower arrange- ments. Mr. Ed T. O'Brien gave a talk on life and pictures of the famous artist, Sarah Thrope l-leald. Mr. Fabor of the l-lobby Shop spoke on the inter- relation of crafts, art, and science. Betty Hellberg ended these sessions with an account of art at Gustavus Adolphus College. Special recognition should be given this group for the time and effort they spent making posters to advertise certain school events, The trip to Minneapolis ended the year and the Art Club once more left behind them a season contributed to work, fun, and a gift of greater knowl- edge toward art.

German Club Expands With Interest The German Club welcomed the year of '54-'55 with an initiation-picnic at which typical German costumes were sported by the new students. The second year deutsch students found themselves enlarging the bonfire in order to accommodate the growing organization. The members of this industrious group elected their officers for the year to be: Marlene Kleinschmidt, president, Dick Theriault, vice-president, Judy Lyonais, treasurer, and Jean Sargeant, secretary. Proving themselves to be very efficient, these officers led the many noon hour meetings, at which entertain- ment was provided by different guest speakers. The Christmas season was a very busy one for the German Club. They showed appreciation to their able adviser, Miss Mary Tornstrom, by honoring her at the annual Christmas banquet.

The members helped color the halls by placing a Christmas tree on one of the landings. ln addition to this Christmas spirit, German Christmas carols could be heard throughout the halls and into the open door class- rooms of W.H.S. Enriching the German Club's treasury were the proceeds from a one-act play entitled Be Home By Midnight , presented to the student body January 20. Band members in the group helped make this play successful by forming a German band. After a year's indication of growing interest in the German language, the members of the German Club bid the year Auf Wiedersehenu with a spring picnic. Malin, E, Veit, P. Wicklund, P. Nlska. K.

By making them adept senior stenographers and secretaries, it prepares girls for the future. It also trains these girls to face responsibility, to be dependable in all things, and learn the many useful things which will help them in their future life. Assisting the Commercial Club this year in facing their responsibilities was Miss Anna Lord, their adviser. in the fall of last year, the group held a mother- and-daughter tea in the high school cafeteria. They also co-sponsored a dance with the Art Club after the Staples-Brainerd game.

Joan Bailey and June Anderson are served by Joyce Johnson at the Mather-and-daughter tea. As a moneymaking project for the trip which they planned to take in the spring, the group sold pencils bearing the 1954-1955 basketball schedule. In addi- tion to this successful sale, the treasury funds grew with a home-room fudge sale. Advancing the girls' educational projects, George McPheeters of the Brainerd Office Supply invited the girls to view the business machines which he had in the store. He very clearly explained the use and purpose of each machine. All of the girls found this to be an interesting afternoon. The Commercial Club is a great asset to the school and community because from it come the students who will be leaders in the business world of tomorrow. -It BACK ROW: R. Ferguson, P. Wicklund, D.

Undoubtedly because everyone in the organization did their share towards making the play a success, it was iust that. Christmas came and the hearts ot the Thespians went out to hospitalized children in the Sister Kenny Institute, The group collected boxfops and sent close tg tyvgntyiivrg dolls to these tots A nefv feature that Thespians took over this year was to have charge ot the costume room.

Library Club Serves All As the school year began, so did the work ot the Library Club. The Library Club has a great deal to do, although many people do not realize it. They mend the books which have been either torn or worn out and straighten the shelves which have been dis- arranged. When books are brought to be checked in or out, the girls are ready, willing and able to assist Miss Lois White, their adviser, at all times. Another important part they play is in helping the students find the books in vvhich they are interest- ed, whether it be a historical novel or the latest science tiction story. The girls work during home room, at noon, after school, and some even give up their tree periods to help out. All the members are promoters ot the Teen Age Book Club. This is a very worthwhile club because they obtain a wide variety of books. The girls usually have a Valentine's party and they did just that this year. The Library Club does a great deal in keeping our school and library among the ranks of the best. GOV' 'Y i N O 'VEVC I X 422, K O '1 ea '7 JC lC6p P BACK ROW: S. West, J. Erickson, R. Cowman, L.

That purpose, which was to broaden interest and increase knowledge of current issues, was carried on by each member of the group. The Current Events Club enioyed spending one of their weekly sessions with Mr. Neal Vivian, who showed them his slides of israel. Under the guidance ot Miss Selma lvlostrom, the members produced and directed tor the student body an original United Nations Pageant to promote interest in that organ- ization. Another auditorium program, presented in February, was a lecture by Annemarie Osterlie, a Fulbright Scholar- ship winner from Germany.

The new members were initiated and a party was given in the evening to conclude this event. Homecoming was the next project tor the girls. They contributed to this event by decorating the float which took tirst prize in the homecoming parade. A dance, enioyecl by all, was sponsored by the group after the Hibbing game. ln November the girls were invited to Crosby-lronton for the G.A.A.'s annual Play Day. Here they spent the day participating in such sports as basketball, tumbling, volley ball, and ping pong. Lunch, a program, and group singing finished the day.

Debate Argues Modern Problems Resolved, The United States should adopt a policy of free trade among nations friendly to the United States. With this resolution the debate team swung into a year of pros and cons. Headed this year by Mr. Walter Johnson, the group got down to work early in the year, for the upcoming invitational tournaments loomed on the horizon. The first such tournament was at Macalaster college where Bill Madden and Nancy Groth, affirmative, and Dean Johnson, and Jane Groth, negative won two out of six debates. Not letting such a showing defeat them, the team returned, ready to get back to work. Before long they were set for the tourney held at Gustavus Adolphus college. This time Pat Gayou and Roberta Bonwell, negative, and Bill Madden and Max Droll, affirmative, won two out of six again. The following week the same four attended the Regional tourna- ment at Moorhead State Teacher's College. Here both teams improved considerably for they won three out of six and placed fifth in the region. Between these many competitive tourneys, the group had several practice debates with surrounding towns. Such practice helped make the year a valu- able one. All in all, it was one of the most active years the debate team has ever had. Debate team pauses to look at the Brain- onian photographer before leaving for the regional debate tournament.

The merit system was used again this year and special recognition was given for the most points gained. A main iob confronting the entire group was to help organize other F.T,A. groups in this district. The elected officers for the year were: presi- dent, Lois Kerleyi vice president, Berto Bisted, sec- retary, Darlene Peters, and treasurer, Mary Jo Mraz. By sitting through classes in different schools throughout Brainerd, the members studied the cor- rect teaching procedure and the different problems and benefits which arise. The members also gain- ed needed experience in teaching by correcting tests and doing other helpful jobs. Of course, the main purpose of this organization was to help the students decide if they were really interested in teaching and at what level they would be interested in.

Lettermen Uphold Athletic Standards On to Milwaukeel was the cry of the Letter- mens Club this year. The purpose of this trip was to see the National League Milwaukee Braves play a home game. With this in mind, each of the 38 mem- bers did his best to raise the necessary amount. However, the organization did not forsake their regular duties during the year. Their advisers, Mr. Harvey Shew, football coach, and Mr. Fred Kellet, basketball coach, helped the boys live up to the rules and regulations set by the High School League of Lettermen. Officers Daryl Hartman, president, Tom Jacob- son, vice president, and Bob Jacobson, secretary- treasurer, all did their share of the work to raise the goal of 5500. They did this various ways and also helped keep the rest of the organization on their toes. These officers were among the members that sold pop at all home basketball games. Spring came and the boys were set to go on their trip. Upon their return, they contributed enough money to finance a football camp for next years team, At the annual honor day coaches gave out letters to those deserving them and thus concluded the year for the organization.

Stan Krueger accounted for the rest of the scoring by grabbing a pass and going over for the touchdown. ST.

Ronnie Chisholm scored twice during the game and raced 70 yards on one occasion. CROSBY-IRONTON Glory came to this year's Warriors as they downed C-I 25-O, to mark up the first conference title in I6 years for Brainerd. C-I proved to be a tough opponent, but the Warriors showed the Rangers who was boss by scoring in the first minute of play.

AITKIN Traveling to Aitlcin for their second conference game, Brainerd rolled over the Gobblers 70-47. Soon after the end of the first quarter, Brainerd held a Jim Guin commanding lead. Coach Fred Kellet threw in his reserves, who continued to pile up the lead. VIRGINIA In their first home appearance the Kellettmen fought their way past a small, fast, Virginia team. The lead see-sawed between the teams until the end of the game when Butch Adair drove in for a lay-up to give Brainerd the win 66-64.

Kellett inserted his reserves freely while four of his regulars hit double figures with Wasnie's 24 high score. HIBBING The Warriors gained revenge for last year's loss by smothering the Hibbing Blueiockets 79-64. The teams stayed close to each other during the first half with Hibbing ahead at half time.

The Warriors hit their offensive peak of the year as they crushed St. Cloud Tech. 90-66. By making nearly 50 per cent of their shots, the Kellettmen were able to offset some good shooting by Tech. Center Ken Wasnie had a very good night with 29 points. WADENA Ken Wasnie continued his high scoring tactics with 28 points to lead Brainerd to an easy 79-51 victory over the Wadena Indians. Only in the quarter, when Wadena pulled within four points the Warriors in trouble. At that point the tribe ed four quick baskets to leave Wadena in the third were scor- dust. STAPLES Balanced scoring and expert control carried the Warriors to their sixth straight conference victory over Staples 53-42. Enioying a T4 point lead going into the final canto, the Kellettmen were content to hold the ball throughout the remaining minutes as Staples stayed in their zone.

LITTLE FALLS The Warriors kept their C-6 record unbfemished as they outlasted an aggressive Little Falls team and ended up on top 67-57. Eoth started fast, but in the second half, the Kellettmen's superior height and balance overshadowed any rally the Flyers could muster. CROSBY-IRONTON Brainerd clinched a first berth in the district by trouncing Crosby-Ironton 60-49 on the latters floor. The Warriors' small but speedy guards, Chisholm with l7 points, and Adair with l4, proved to be the main factors in subduing the scrappy Rongers. FERGUS FALLS The Warriors were forced down to the final minute of play before turning back a hot Fergus Folls club 69-62. Paced by Butch Adair's 26 points, the Kellettmen were able to hold a slight advantage all through the game, although the Otters were danger- ous to the finish. WADENA Journeying to Wadena, the Warriors received their third defeat of the season ot the hands of an inspired Wodena quint 78-70.

The victory gave Brainerd a season's record of l6 wins, and 3 losses.- District Tournaments MENAHGA The Warriors waltzed past their first-round tournament competition by dumping the sub-district runnerup Menahga 88-43.

Coached by Kermit Aase, the Warriors played errorless ball in turning back a strong C-I nine. The Aasemen's second game was a high scor- ing affair, with Staples squeezing out an ll-10 victory. ln the last of the seventh, a walk, fielder's choice, and a long double scored the winning run. The Warriors won a return engagement with Staples 5-4, but lost to C-l a week later 7-l as Brainerd's hitters were handcuffed by C-l's little left hander, Gerry Sanderson. Brainerd's weak hitting continued as they were shut out by Aitkin 5-O, due to a school regulation, seniors couldn't make the trip. A power- ful barrage of hitting won the first district game, a lo-2 revenge over Aitkin. In the next game, Sebeka extended the Aasemen an extra inning before a six hit attack plated four runs for the margin of victory. The district finals brought the Warriors against a classy, hard hitting Little Falls nine which dumped the Warriors 7-2, bringing a close to another suc- cessful season.

One of the most exciting track meets in years was the C-6 conference meet at St. Cloud.

Top point getter for the thinclads this year was Jim Guin, who continually registered points in the discus, shot put, and broad jump.

Halverson's champs started out the sea- son with four straight wins and were never headed in their drive to the championship. Team balance and overall ability were characteristics of this ball club. At the season start, it looked as though it might turn into a two team race between Halver- son and Thompson, but Halverson steadily pulled away. Anderson's team took third place just nos- ing out Bourssa by a single game. Final Standings Halverson lO-2 Thompson 8-4 Anderson 6-6 Bourssa 5-7 Madison i-1 l Intramurals Heavyweights A real battle to the finisn was seen in the heavyweights division with Larry Strand's team the final victor. The championship was in doubt until the final game when Strands team climaxed a season long battle by posting a well deserved win. Coming in second in the league standings was Sid Syck's team, only a game behind first place. Strand, who led his team to the champion- ship, was second scorer in the league, just two points behind Frank Caswell's T21 points. As the season's finale, Strand's champs defeated the lightweights champs 40-26. Final Standings Strand 8-4 Sycks 7-5 Caswell 5-6 Jacobson 5-6 Flanders 4-8 BACK ROW: D. Noreen, G. Mathison, L. Strand.

These ten represented the A and B squads. Four of last year's A squad were re-elected. The new recruit was Ardy Skoog, a former member of the B squad. Pictured here in their popular Boom Doom yell are Beverly Moulton, Kitty Bender, Gailene Benson, Ardy Skoog, and Mary .lo Mraz. Cheerleaders Buoy School Spirit With the help of their advisor, Miss Idelle Nor- nes, the cheerleaders worked out a variety of War- rior yells and songs. Both groups sported new uniforms this year, and the A squad acquired new headdresses and tomahawks. This year, for the first time, they were enrolled in the National Cheerleaders Association. Shown with their pom-poms are Beverly Moul- ton, Kitty Bender, Gailene Benson, Ardy Skoog, and Mary Jo Mraz. The spontaneous spirit, pep, and en- thusiasm inspired by these groups spread and held the attention of the crowd at each athletic event. Their cheers not only boosted the team's morale, but also encouraged the support of the crowd. Pictured in formation are left to right Pat Karlson, Colleen Morley, Deanna Prest- tun, and Marie Haff, who along with Malon Waring lnot shown in this picturel formed the B squad.

Hall Knickerbocker Holiday My Knickerbocker History announced Wash- ington Irving and the curtain went up on this year's Senior Class Play. The play opened with a chorus of Dutch maid- ens, followed by the arrival of the local council who were contemptuous of any corruption which they did not share. The hero, Brom Broeck, appeared after running away from his employer, Mynheer Tienhoven, the head of the Council. Behind this was a strange mal- ady Brom had, he could not take orders. However, he had come back because of his love for Tina Tienhoven. Before he knew it, the group of elders had him almost hanged because of accusations against the Council. Through his quick talking, he had the Council pulling him up, but by the belly! At this point, the new governor Pieter Stuyvesant ar- rived and pardoned him for his quick thinking. The Indians attacked, but were repelled by Brom and Stuyve- sant after the army and Council turned back. Stuyvesant was iust as crooked as' the Council. He enlisted the help of Tienhoven and engaged himself to Tina. Following an argument with Brom, he had Brom thrown into iail and began his reign, The riotous jail scene took place. Tina crawled through a hole to visit Brom and lost all her skirts. Her father discovered her and she was taken away to marry the one-legged governor. But the Indians, wild with government whiskey and muskets, attacked the town and fought the local army. Eventually Brom and Stuyvesant saved the day. But again the two quarreled and Stuyvesant prepared to hang Brom prerrnanently. Only the inter- ception of Washington Irving prevented this. This play, a musical-comedy, was the first of its kind presented in WHS. As shown by the large crowds and general enioyment, it was also one of the most successful. Marshal Schermerhorn was doing his duty as iailor w en Stuyvesant made his inspection of the iail.

The 68th Annual Commencement Baccalaureate Exercise was held May 29 at 8 p.m. in Washington High School. Due to the size ot the graduating class, this service was held, tor the first time, in the gymnasium. The invocation was given by the Rev. Willard Allin, the scripture read by the Rev. G. P. Ronholm, and the benediction given by the Rev. Robert Daley. The baccalaureate sermon, Four Words for Youth, was given by Rev. Wesley Johnson. These four words were de- cision, direction, determination, and destination. Rev. Johnson stressed the tact that decisions today de- termine tomorrow. People should know, he said, in which direction they are going and have a vision and goal in mind. To obtain this goal requires determination and hard work, which you should learn to enjoy. Every decision should be made with the future,in view and determination is the hinge upon which the door of destiny turns. Adorned in their caps and gowns, the students march in for the Baccalaureate service.

He numerated five characteristics of man as being physical, economic, intel- lectual, spiritual, and social-political. To develop the potentialities intended by God and nature, these tive phases of life must be developed. He touched on atomic development as playing a part in the great future ahead for young people. He concluded by telling the graduates that if they will use their brains, they can attain an undreamed of standard of living, but if they do not, they will go down to destruction.
