Senior Class History One bright September day in 1940 found sixty-eight young and innocent freshmen being duly initiated into Silverdale High School. It was not long after, that we were showing our abilities by taking part in many school activities. In February we had an informal party in the gymnasium. Our class presidents that year were Iack Schindele and Phil Myhre. Our adviser was Miss Leas. With the thought of being the initiators instead of the initiated we gaily started our Sophomore year. Under the efficient sponsorship of Miss Myhre, the class showed its ability as leaders by coming out first in the magazine drive and tying for first place in the stamp plan sales with 1001, membership. We also had good showing in the Honor Society, Lettermen's Club, Debate Team, and Baton Twirling. In December the class sponsored an ice-skating party. Our presidents were Phil Myhre and Annabelle Christiansen. Who else would be so bold as to choose kelly green and gray for their colors than the Class of '44? Once more we started out the year by taking first place in the magazine drive and 1001, membership in the stamp plan sales. There were 8 Iunior boys earning letters and also eight Iuniors on the Service Club. The Iunior-Senior banquet was held May 14th, in the grade school gymnasium, followed by the Iunior Prom. The theme for the prom was A Moonlight Garden. We concluded the year with the Iunior play, Pure as the Driven Snow, which was declared a great success. Our class presidents that year were Louis Martin and Norma Hagan. Mrs. Kilkenny was our class adviser for that year. . We started our Senior year with an excursion to Victoria, B. C., which will long be remembered as one of the outstanding events of our high school years. For the third consecutive year the Class of '44 had its name engraved on the plaque for attaining 1001, in the stamp plan drive and for taking first place in the magazine sales. Louis Martin was elected Student Body President and other seniors were in the Student Council, Ser- vice Club, Lettermen's Club, and other organizations. Mr. Decker was our adviser for our final year: Class Colors: Kelly ,Green and Gray , Class Flower: White Carnation Class Motto: In the Youth of Today Lies the Democracy of Tomorrow. Annual Stall Through the efforts of the editors and staff, the publication of this annual was made possible. Special mention should be given to the advertising staff under the direction of Bob Slingland and Shirley Russell, assisted by Phyllis Iohanson, Cathy Cramer, Iackxliockwell, and Vic Baldwin. Thanks to Helen Herndon and Cari Somers we have an assortment of snapshots. Complete responsibility of the sport section was placed upon Louie Martin. Ioe Caron also lent his artistic talent. Credit should also be given to Ieane Davidson and Bill Warren in typing, stenciling, and helping to ready the annual for publication. Doris Brautlacht has proved herself very capable as the Business Manager. We, the editors of the Echo of 1944, Annabelle Christiansen and Eileen Needham, wish to express our thanks to our cooperative staff, and to our adviser, Mrs. Kilkenny, for the ,never tiring aid she has given us. Girls Club At the close of this school year, the Girls' Club of C. K. H. will end another year of the usual parties and school fun that 151 girls can make. Starting out the year in fine style, the annual Big Sister party was held for the benefit of the newcomers to C. K. H. gym. Clever decorations and costumes made it our most successful party of the year. A mothers tea given in the spring in the high school auditorium, was presented in fine style. A fine pro- gram and beautiful decorations were commented on by the mothers and everyone enjoyed themselves. The selling of pop at several of the football games helped pay the expenses of the club.

S' i ASK THE PROFESSOR J r R When in doubt ask the professor. That is the advice of the cast of over eighty musicians and dancers in presenting this years sparkling operetta.' As a presentation of the music department under the guidance of Arthur G. Gilbert with the able assistance of Miss Catherine Kountz, this gay- musical comedy, presented May 5, was an outstanding success. In the colorful setting of a girls' school on commence- ment day, of 2 succeeding- years, Maryida O'Neil the wash- lady's daughter, brilliantly played by Jean Womac delights both her cast and the audience with her success as a student on a scholarship furnished by John and June Ainsworthy played by John Schold and Esther Hillberg much to the amazement of Prof. Breakeasy, played quite convincingly by Mr. Hart Smith. ' John Schold and Gloria Berg CEmilyJ were outstanding in dancing as well as singing leads. The comedy team of Tommy and Polly were done in fine form by Beverly Knickerbocker and Dean Sullivan. Floyd Oliver was well cast as Red O'Neil, Maryida's brother, as was Ruth Howe as Mrs. O'Neil. Other speaking parts included Ramona Schroeder, Mary Steinman and Joan Martin. p if , ' , J JUNIOR PROM l Gay patriotic decorations and danceable music to Stan Mathiason placed the annual Junior Prom held May lu, first ranking in the events of the year. Sponsored by the P.T.A., a banquet honoring the l9Ab graduating class, preceded the dance. The most picturesque affair of the evening was the Grand March in which the couples marched over the bridge and threw tokens in the wishing well. J General Chairman of affair was Bob Slingland ably assisted by Gloria Berg and Jeane Davison, Banquet Co-Chair- men, Phyllis Johanson, decorating, John Brewer, clean-up, and a host of other juniors. ' Much credit for the success of the evening goes to Mrs, Mable Kilkenny, hard-working Junior Class advisor.
