MAKE WAY FOR THE Ah-caught in t-he act-working Editor D. Fer uson and Business Manager Smith looked over annual copy, while Howard Kaynor of the Daily Record offered advice. ELEMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY Merle Kibbe Mr. Kibbe, as usual was busy. There were his industrial arts classes and the Klahiam. Also the photograph-y class and very productive Cam Club were under his supervision. He took for granted that any emergency work was his to do whether it was nailing on a broken heal, fixing a zipper, repair- ing athletic equipment, or fixing a chair. His sense of humor scared the sophomore staff members stiff with April Fool report cards. First time in twenty years of teaching that report cards came out on April firstf' BRAVE DEADLlNE AT DAWN The Klahiam Staff was in a state of complete confusion all year long. Donna Ferguson, editor, had ulcers before the Klahiam ever got to the printers. Terry Camden, photography editor, had streaks of grey among her golden locks. Norine Smith, busi- ness manager, had a crop of corns after running after every businessman in town trying to sell ads or running after her staff to make them do it. The photography staff, the editorial staff, and Mr. Kibbe, the advisor, were working nights to meet all dead- lines. The dummy was a shattered personality. When it wasn't lost it was divided among a dozen people. Someone using the only typewriter caused a waiting line. Some anonymous monster was always hiding pictures which were supposed to be used. A Klahiam photographer was flying out the door with a camera in one hand and a supply of flashbulbs in the other. Receipt books were lying all over with discarded write ups and empty rubber cement bottles. There was a constant flow of traffic going up and down the stairs that led to the dark room. Mr. Kibbe's room looked as if a hurricane had struck. But this happens every year and the Klahiam came out on june 5th as promised, but the staff was prepared to leave town in case it didn't.

Once he was found successfully competing with a howling dog during the flag salute. A favorite among students and faculty, he was known as the little man with the big voice. SECRETARIAL OFFICE PRACTICE Lina Wilkins Mrs. Wilkins was the one responsible for turning out the towns supply of secretaries and stenograph- ers. Her commercial courses covered everything ex- cept sitting on bosses' laps. Her classes were made up of secretarial training, shorthand, and speech class. In the absence of Mr. Gates she directed the senior class play and the all school play which were both very well received. Mrs. Wilkins will be thanked for the wonderful foundation she gave to her stu- dents, and remembered for her good judgment and counsel. Mrs. Wilkins showed R. Dunlop, B. Dreyer, and C. l-Iagen what the programs for the big basketball game should look like. 10 This page co-sponsored by PHARE PAINT STORE and ELLENSBURG FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN

Radio production class practiced fundamentals throughout the year, striving for perfection.
