Advisor Published by the Associated Students of HILLSBORO UNION HIGH SCHOOL Hillsboro, Oregon SOM AMMEN AIR PN AIT ITT IT NT Te SS 1927 -1947 Twenty years ago, Hillsboro Union High School gave its first class to the nation. The picture reproduced above, while not a graduation picture, nevertheless includes nearly all of the class of 1927. We think it proper, on this twentieth anniversary, to contemplate the past. We know that the present excellence of our school is the result of a steady growth through the years. We wish to salute all former students, teachers and administrators; and we wish to express our thanks to the people of the union district, who in acting through their elected school boards, have provided the opportunities for education that we now enjoy. we The Class of 1927 With Kindest Thoughts We Dedicate This 1947 HILHI @ ee e a : sd i og Gomart LADE LLE CISHEN AUDREY KELLEY ALVIS RAL A school year is made up of many things — classes, games, .competition, friendships, fun and club work — and the wise student shares in all of these. It is a constant goal of our school to give a sound fundamental education while encour- aging participation in a varied program of activities. The realization of this goal needs your cooperation. The Class of 1947 contains many worthy students whom we shall miss next year; the classes of 1948, 1949 and 1950 will fill their places. This is education ; this is life. To the underclassmen I wish a busy and happy vacation ; to the seniors a satisfying and happy future. JOHN R. COX. M. P. CADY, MRS. WILMA MERRILL, C. G. BECKEN J. W. KAMNA, JOHN GATES, W. H. McNAY. The members of this group, by giving freely of their time and their abilities, are helping to continue the proud American tradition of education for all. F. E. ROWELL L. J. MERRILL L. W. GUILD N. G. JOHNSON J. A. WOOD B. W. BARNES R. E. PARSONS | i These men accepted the responsibility for establishing Hillsboro Union High School. Mr. B. W. Barnes, the first superin- i tendent, continued in his inspiring leadership throughout the formative years of the school. a Sometimes we may forget that in a school like ours, a great deal of office work is necessary. Miss Davis, ably assisted by this staff of girls, keeps things ‘running smoothly” in an efficient and friendly manner. Mr. John T. Jensen, vice principal, came to us this year after having served in the United States Army as a Captain in the Field Artillery. We wel- come him to Hilhi. Miss Esther Willers, Dean of Girls, is serving her first year at Hillsboro. Her friendly interest in student activities, and her eagerness to work prompt us to say heartily, “We are happy to have you with us!”’ 4 = a = - MERTON SAHNOW, Vice-president “‘Gentleman Jim”’ So-long... Students — Valuing your friendships above all that I have gained from my associa- tion with Hilhi, I find, as graduation nears, the prospect of leaving is not as pleasant as once imagined. For enduring memories of good times, happy experiences, and wonderful pals — for all these things, thank you. It is my earnest hope that your remaining years in high school will bring the most possible happiness and success. Faculty — Without the co-operation, understanding and ready assistance of you teachers and administrators, my years would not have been so gratifying. It is with reluctance that I leave your guidance. Hilhi — The hours spent in your classrooms will remain always in my memory. Long may your halls echo with the footsteps of such students as these four years have known. With the fervent wish that you will ever function in the democratic way and in the firm belief that you will support America’s every move toward world peace, I bid you good-bye. JERRY TISDALE, Student Body President. The student council has had a busy year, and it has accomplished much that is good. The need for a revision of the constitution has been felt for a number of years, and the mak- ing of that revision is perhaps the most im- portant achievement of the present council. Among still other accomplishments, this group supervised the purchasing of a new radio-phonograph, instituted a new system of petitioning for dances and game-conces- sions, and set up a new bulletin board that is marked daily to show dates and places for the scheduled meetings of the various clubs. Thanks to the C for a big job well done! y) t LUCY MANN, Treasurer “Where mann’s money goes.”’ SsAmtoentxzr - OBD nee s HOR - OPS FeQZGOa SENIOR WESLEY POYNTER What's up, Doc?

I i aE: Senior Saga In September, 1943, a new freshman class entered the vast halls of Hilhi. We entered seriously and earnestly in a world at war. Under the restriction of dimouts, gas rationing, and curfew, we took our places as members of the student body quietly, often wonder- ing, when we attended the farewell assemblies for our student body president and many other senior boys, whether boys would still be leaving for service in 1947. But we had lots of fun, too; and our freshman mixer in the gym decorated in yellow and green, is still a pleasant memory for many of us. Our sophomore year was really memorable. Led by our star ath- lete, Willie Laird, a number of our boys were prominent in sports, several of them making letters. We were active, too, in clubs, de- voting much time to service work. And when the student body president asked for additional yell leaders, we had more in the try- outs than had any other class. Our junior year brought promises of new events, for with the summer had come peace. Although we were the school’s smallest class, we continued to star in all activities. Four of our boys were chosen as T.Y.V. all-stars in football and basketball; and in the speech and music departments we also won much recognition. Our play, ‘Junior Miss,’’ set a new record in attendance and was gen- erally recognized as one of Hilhi’s best. The fishpond and lawn- seats at our prom were a topic of discussion for weeks. This was the spring, too, when the student body broke tradition to elect from our class, Jerry Tisdale, Hilhi’s first girl prexy. Then at last it came! — the long-awaited September when we re-entered Hilhi to attend the classes of Miss Cimino and Mr. Stalley, to leave assemblies first, to prepare for Senior Dress-up Day, and all the many things that make being a senior so special. This was our third consecutive year at the state basketball tourna- ment; it was also a year for skiing at Mt. Hood, and spring week- -ends at Seaside. On May 2, we presented our senior play, “Double Door,” and then before we knew it, Baccalaureate Sunday dawned. On May 23, we marched proudly up the auditorium aisles, at last fulfilling the hope that we had expressed in our freshman annual — to graduate in a world at peace. res a a MI toe hepbdon BOB BAILEY MARJORIE BOYD G.A.A. 3, 4: Y-Teens 1, 2. 3, 4, Cabinet 4; Girls League 1, 2,3,4.

This year the juniors are endeavoring to carry on the policy of their two previous years — that is, combining learning with pleasure. Many junior ‘‘men”’ called attention to themselves by outstanding performances in track, baseball, football, basketball and rifle marksmanship. Three yell leaders are juniors. Junior tongues brought honors on public speaking contests to Hilhi, and junior brains helped to marshall the facts for the debate teams. Late in the first semester the class presented its assembly program. Dozens of jokes, interrup ted by roof- raising screams, furnished an hilarious forty-five minutes of entertainment. We are especially proud of the fact that our class play “Janie” shattered all attendance records. It was well cast, well acted and well received. This spring the Junior-Senior prom will be held in the gymnasium, and we expect it to be a colorful event. cocina Re ROW 1: Betty Grabel, Barbara Johnson, Phoebe Brown, Betty Jean Settlemier, Ann Marie Reiling, Mary Lu Anderson, Barbara Barrows, Kathryn Reule, Donna Halvorson, Kathleen Klein, Delores Benge.

The Sophomores believe it not enough to just enter school but they think it a ‘must’ to enter all clubs in the school. The Sophomore class has shown outstanding ability in all sports. The following boys were on the football team: Tom Six, Gordon Faber, Lester Hershey, Emil Brandaw, and Wayne Danielson. Lester Hershey also played on the varsity basketball team. We will be looking forward to having these players back again next year. The Sophomore class assembly entitled ‘The Evolution of the Dance’’ was first place winner in the class assembly contest. It revealed some of the dances from the early cave man days to the age of atom- splitting. It will take a good class to keep up with these ‘‘49”’ ers.

Although perhaps the girls of the class were a little shy at first, the Big and Little Sister Party helped them to orient themselves. The boys made a vigorous start in athletics. The Class Assembly Program, presented for the entertainment of the student-body, gave evidence of careful planning; and it delighted everyone.

Emphasis is placed upon the Practical use of the tools of carpentry in doing the kind of construction and repair work | that confront “the average man” in our community. Familiarity with the kinds and values of various woods is soon acquired by those who work in this interesting department. Some of the more advanced workmen set about to create ‘something special. ” The choice wood is selected, and as the shavings begin to curl and the sawdust piles grow, “the thing of beauty’ begins to take form.

A knock of the doors of all sixth period classrooms every other Friday announces another edition of the bi-monthly school publication ‘‘Hilhilites. ” This paper, in its sixth year of publication, and second year in newsprint, is made possible through the combined efforts of sixteen loyal news-seekers, and their advisor, Miss Margaret Ruecker, who work hard and feverishly during the year to bring the students up-to-the-minute ‘info’ on matters pertaining to life in Hilht. Many nights the lights in room 108 blaze brightly through fog, rain and any kind of weather. The deadline must be met! “Scoop” — lead — “head’’ — “follow up” — ‘‘filler’” and ‘‘advance’’ became familiar words in the minds of the staff as they gathered, wrote and edited the club, social, service and sport news about all the activities carried on in Hilhi.

Dear Readers: Here is your Annual. Editing it has been not only the hardest kind of work, but also a constant source of fun and enjoyment. With the completion of its final pages, we of the staff know that satisfaction that can come only from a difficult job completed. Although a few of us are chosen to edit the book, we have had the consistent help of a number of people, without which we should have been unable to proceed. It would be quite impossible for me to list the names of all those who have helped in some way, but special recognition should be given to Verna Losli for her efficient work in typing, to Tom Callahan for his many hours of work in photography, and to Miss Elaine Coleman for her advice and for her work in Matters pertaining to the art work. Our thanks for the cover design go to Leon Leinan. I should like also to make special mention of Virginia Cox, Betty Weathers and Henry Hinck. Of course, those people selected to work with me whose names appear on the title page, have taken untold hours out of their year for the sake of the Annual. With the exception of the individual senior pictures, and some of the larger clud pictures, most of the photographs were taken and processed by our own camera staff, using recently purchased equipment. To next year’s Annual staff, I extend the hope that they will have the full cooperation of the entire student-body as I have had. To the editor I wish the best of luck.

Sa Junior Play — Comedy ! Romance! Excitement! What's this —a new movie? No — it was that hilarious, sparkling, vivacious, enchanting, screaming, Junior play, “Janie!” Comedy — Janie Colburn (Bernice Hansen) throws a little party for Dick Lawrence (Willie Potten) and some friends from a nearby army camp. Rodney (Pat Hurley), the darkie butler, gives the boys some Scotch which belongs to Janie’s father (Garth Kohlmeyer). They use the ironing board for a bar and they have target practice on the front lawn. Also add- ing to the humor is Janie’s sister, Elspeth (Lucille Haase), a nuisance in the strictest sense of the word. The admiration of Bernadine Dodds (Marjorie Aldinger) for one ‘Dead Pan’’ Hackett (Chuck Krueger) added much to the general confusion. The antics of Paula Rainey (Barbara Barrows) and Mickey Malone (Bob Burnett) were good for many laughs. Romance — Men in uniform allegedly have that certain charm, and no exception was Dick to Janie’s eyes. As soon as he and his mother decided to spend some time at the Colburns’, “Scooper’’ Nolan (Paul Patterson), Janie’s high school beau, was given the well known gate. But faithfulness proves its worth, and Scooper forgives Janie when she comes back to him. In the older department we have Dick’s mother (Ann Marie Rieling), and John Van Brunt (Jerry Doyle) who become en- gaged, have a vicious quarrel, and then are reconciled. Janie’s mother (Kathy Ruele), was hard put to keep a little sanity in the household. Supporting roles were played by: Carl Camenzind, Ken Twigg, Duane Thorsen, Ron Hubbard, Steve Felkins, Dick Moeller, Glen Richards, Milton Ingram, Joe Kirkbride, Dale Sloan, Gary Hafner, Ken Poole, Alice Furby, Phoebe Brown and Bill Martin. Miss Margaret Ruecker, Director. Senior Play Following the series of gay and sparkling comedies which have been presented the past two years, the choice of this year’s senior play came as a welcome diversion, for “Double Door’’ was a drama on the heavy side, with a sinister and menacing atmosphere throughout the three acts. By virtue of her domineering control over the people around hez, Victoria Van Bret is easily the most important character in the play. After years of subjection, her sister Caroline cowers before her, and her much younger half-brother Rip is too weak to free himself from her grasping power. However, she en- counters opposition in Rip’s bride, Anne, a woman whom Vic- toria, in her jealously and hate, calls a ‘‘menial.”’ In a desperate attempt to regain complete control over her household, she attempts to murder Anne. When her plans are foiled, her mind snaps, and she is reduced to a babbling old woman, mumbling incoherently over a priceless pearl necklace. The seniors undertook this play with a little temerity be- cause of the forcefulness of Victoria. Could someone look and act the part of this overpowering woman with somewhat maniacal tendencies? This question was soon answered in the tryouts, and Margaret Freudenthal was chosen to play Victoria. Playing her sister Caroline was Doris Brownlee; her half- brother Rip, Howard Fraser; and Rip’s bride, Anne, Virginia Cox. Together with Dave Eheler as Dr. Sully, a former suitor of Anne’s; Dick Knight as Mr. Neff, the family lawyer; Wally Sigler as Mr. Chase, the man from Tiffany's; Wes Poynter as Lambert, from Pinkerton’s; Polly Melhuish as_ Avery, the housekeeper; Barbara Denton as Louise, the maid; and Jack Shearer, the butler Telson, they brought to the audience a breath- taking drama, well-played amidst the Victorian setting.

The rating of first in humorous reading, achieved by Wes Poynter from a field of 29 contestants last year, and by Bob Bates from among 36 this year, gave Hilhi permanent possession of the trophy. Noelle Burton, too, added a gold cup to Hilhi’s case, for a first in panel discussion, women’s division, at the Linfield meet. During the forensic season, speech-minded students competed in four major tournaments, participated in special oratorical contests, and appeared before local clubs. At Linfield, Noelle Burton, Ernestine Schulenberg, and Alice Furby placed in the women’s division of panel discussion; Bob Bates was second in both humorous reading and junior impromptu; Norman Goetze was second in extemp; and Crys Voges, third in serious reading. At Willamette, Hilhi placed finalists in each of the five contests, including debate. Bob and Crys were winners, with Crys second in serious, and tieing for third in humorous. Alice Furby was the winning orator-in the Knights of Pythias contest; and Wes Poynter, Lester Demmin, and Ilene Gnos, district contest winners, Br citeg the right to represent Hilhi at the state tourney April 11-12.

ASSEMBLY COUNCIL Perhaps some of us are not conscious of the fact that the presentation of a series of interesting assembly programs requires much careful planning. This group has performed that service for us during the year. The mem- bers are: Ruth Bernau, Don Holmes, Dick Knight, Wesley Poynter, Bob Bates and Les- ter Demmin; and Miss Cimino is the advisor. LIBRARIANS These girls, who act as assistants to Mrs. Zimmerman, are all volunteers, and they have given many hours of their-time in order to increase the efficiency of the library. We think that we are speaking for all students when we say to them, “Thank you very much!” ‘ : HOSPITAL ATTENDANTS Quiet, helpful and efficient are adjectives that properly modify each of the girls on this staff.

We greatly appreciate also, the many things they do for us ‘beyond the call of duty.” To Mrs. Jack and Mrs. Horning we express our appreciation for the appetizing lunches they serve daily, and for those tasty banquets when we celebrate! | i} | | i | ELAINE COLEMAN H. M. S. PINAFORE A highlight in the year’s events was the presentation March 21st and 22nd, of the operetta ““H.M.S. Pinafore’, in a most delightful manner by the chorus and the orchestra under the joint direction of Mrs. Kramien and Mr. Sawyer. Much hard work and preparation by the chorus, orchestra, staff, and members of the art classes who had charge of the sets, went into the production of one of the most popular Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. Included in the cast were eight principals and a chorus of 60 voices. Students singing leading roles were: Ray McCann (Captain Corcoran), Kathleen Imlay (Josephine, the captain’s daughter), Wally Sigler (Ralph Rackstraw), Norma Lakson (Little Buttercup), Dale Sloan (Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B.), Ken Brandaw (Dick. Deadeye), LaRose Hubert (Hebe, Sir Joseph’s Cousin), Bob Eheler (the Boatswain), Willie Potten (the carpenter), and Doris Brownlee (the Midshipmite). (Pun intended.) Jerry Doyle was business manager and other members of the staff were: Tickets, Mr. Foster: posters, Bruce McElhaney and the Art Department; scene, Miss Elaine Coleman; stage set, Mr. Ruud and the manual training department; properties, Don Ruhlin; prompter, Miss Edmiston; diction, Miss Cimino; ushers, Music Department; programs, Corrine Wortman and Arlene Kennedy; and costumes, Miss Betty Yungen. Mr. Sawyer and the orchestra are to be commended for their faithful playing of a fast and difficult score. Mrs. Saxl and Miss Coleman gave generously of their time in helping the orchestra. Under backstage sidelights might be included the sideburn contest among the boys and the costume contest among the girls. The girls made all their own costumes and the boys voted a box of candy for the best costume. The lucky girl was Grace Connell. Complications arose when the girls could not make a choice between the sideburns of Ray McCann and Don Holmes. Both were plenty scratchy! Finally a coin was tossed and Ray won. These little incidents only prove that the cast received almost as much enjoyment in presenting the operetta as did the audience in viewing and hearing it. ar epee a pe Sy LRP MAN NE ARP SOG 8 PV ORR —- : Reunegoeee mS : ; a) ale Si The a cappella choir and the mixed chorus are the two largest choral groups this year. The choir, which includes approximately sixty-five advanced students, participated suc- cessfully in the Christmas and the Easter programs. It was also the choir which under the direction of Mrs. Kramien, in co-operation with the orchestra under Mr. Sawyer’s direc- ( tion, presented “H. M. S. Pinafore.’’ They sang also for a number of civic clubs. The mixed chorus throughout the year, sang a varied assortment of popular, religious and classical numbers. ( Our page shows the choir above, the chorus below; and the popular directress, Mrs. Florence Kramien at the left.

They included among their many school activities participation in programs for various civic service clubs. The octet is composed of Wally Sigler, Ray McCann, Ronald Reule, Jack Shearer, Dale Sloan, Willie ‘Potten, LeRoy Voelker and Don Traschel. Bob Bates joined the group the second semester. In the Triple Trio, which has been together for four years, the . voices of Barbara Barrows, Sue Searcy, Katherine Reule, Donna Halvorson, Joan Kovaly, Mary Lou Anderson, Mary Kramien, Delores Benge and Barbara Barney, blended into beautiful harmony.

Miss Elaine Coleman, in her first year at Hilhi, has developed an enthusiasm among her students for the many kinds of art work that makes for real accomplishment. ( Two exhibits were held during the year, in which the works of many students were displayed to an admiring public. The follo wing students entered art work in the Meier and Frank Scholastic Art Exhibit: Bruce McElhaney, Willie Potten, Charlotte Billing, Lois Jones, Betty Settlemier, Jim Shultz, and Esta Yancey.

Phipps ARLENE KENNEDY CLUES ee SPP EIS FN 4 PAG me Lape The Girls Athletics Association is an organization for girls who are interested in hiking and cycling, and who enjoy competitive athletics. Among the games most popular with this group are tennis, ping pong, bandminton, bowling, basketball, and softball. Membership in the club is open to those girls who earn a score of ten points by participating in various sports. A de- lightful initiation always welcomes the new members. G. A. A. boasts its letterwomen, in much the same spirit as the Blue H does its lettermen. Twenty-one girls are now wearing the coveted white sweater and blue letter. Twenty-four of the seventy-nine members of the club attended a bowling party in Portland. What a hilarious time! The club will select twenty lucky members who will attend the annual T. Y. V. League play- day and banquet at McMinnville. The officers are: Lucy Mann, president; Gladys Burkhalter, vice president; Ruth Reierson, secretary; Arlene Muhly, treasurer; and Miss Fish, advisor. “Oh, my aching back”’ (not to mention other vital parts of the anatomy) could be heard coming from various Ski Club members on the return trips from Timberline and Government Camp this year. The cold, wee hours of Saturday mornings saw figures clad in warm ski clothes (including those long, red unmentionables) making their way down dark streets to the back school-yard from which the bus left at 5:30 for the snowy summits of Mt. Hood. Arriving at Government Camp a couple of hours later, the sport enthusiasts untangled from their pretzel-like positions and piled out to stretch their cramped legs. If conditions proved bad at Govern- ment Camp, as they did several times at the beginning of the season, the bus proceeded to Timberline. The hundred members in the Club varied from ‘‘crackers’’ (beginners to fire-loving readers) to those few who are fairly far advanced. Instructions were given to anyone who wanted to take them, and every- one going up had to take at least one lesson for the sake of personal safety. The Club sponsored one movie, and helped to select several more that were enjoyed by the student body. . In spite of many spills and a few minor accidents, all members enjoyed a good season in a fairyland world of sparkling snow, dark green trees and towering peaks that always make up the background for the breath-taking sport of skiing. The officers are: Lolita Kovaly, president; Jerry Doyle, vice presi- dent; Connie Jo Connell, secretary; Leland Twigg, equipment man- ager; Gordon Faber, assistant equipment manager; and Mr. Leger, advisor. A lone bare light brightly beckoned as it stood watch in solitude above the battered door at the rear of the school, every Tuesday and Friday night. Had you ventured in, you would have found the school rifle range conveniently situated beneath the auditorium. There, amidst a setting of guns and targets, Rifle Club members regularly attended meetings in order to liven their interests by deadening their aims. They upheld their marksmanship under competition in State matches, postal matches and Open tournaments, making a good showing for their school. Some of the members were invited to participate in the Senior (adult) Rifle Club matches. Trophies which members aim for are the Ival Kirk Memorial placque, the William Randolps Hearst trophy, awards given by Hillsboro merchants (not definitely announced for this year) ; and for the first time the Sherman trophy, which is offered by the Hillsboro Rifle and Pistol Club, to the high-ranking girl in the State meet, provided she has not already won the 40 and 8 Trophy. As scores improve, members advance in their ratings and are entitled to rating medals and basards. The club president, Johnny Mason, attained the highest individual rating awarded in any junior indoor club, that of Distinguished Rifleman. Only one other Hilhi member, Tom Callahan, has ever met the challenge of this goal. Hillsboro, having been selected for state matches because of the large, modern shooting range, was host to two state-sponsored matches which attracted marksmen from a wide area. Hillsboro riflemen won a big proportion of the awards. Rifle Club is open to any student who wants to cultivate a knowledge of guns and am- munition, and to gain skill in marksmanship. The officers are: John Mason, president; Judy Schendel, secretary. Rally Club members, outstanding any day of the week, are especially so on game-days because their characteristic navy-blue sweaters, sporting blue and white megaphones are very much in evidence. The purpose of this friendly club is to bolster and improve school spirit. Rally is prominent in its efforts to publicize our athletic contests, and many stimulating posters and rousing slogans are the direct results of the efforts of this group. The members, with the help of their mothers, prepared and served the second annual football banquet, honoring the lettermen and the coaching staff. The Rally picnic, a spring event, is always a bright spot on the social calendar. The officers are: Wallace Sigler, President; Gloria Dauter, Co- president; Barbara Barrows, Secretary-treasurer. Fa “To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character.’ With this purpose in mind, the Hi-Y, which is a world-wide fellowship that was established over twenty-five years ago, has this year once again tried to bring about a closer understanding among the students of Hilhi. The Annual Tag Day, held for the purpose of enabling Freshmen to become better acquainted with upper classmen, helps to further this aim. H1-Y elected as honorable neophytes, six boys who were quite flattered, and apparently more so after the area induction held at Tigard; but there came that fateful night at Jack Shearer’s home. Should any- one desire more information about that “‘affair du eggsham,” he would do well to speak to D-_—_. Following the policy of devotion to school and community, the club volunteered its services to the Student Council, for the job of cleaning the tennis courts. At this time, plans are being completed for the club’s annual Spring Social. The officers are: Wesley Poynter, president; Tommy Callahan, vice president; Jim Stoller, secretary. With the beginning of the school year, Pep Club launched into its many activities by sponsoring a Back-to-School Dance for the student body. At the opening of the T. Y. V. Football Jamboree held at Hillsboro, the twenty members helped by decorating the goal posts with the eight school colors, roping off the sections, and ushering. Seven new members were selected at a slumber party given by Ilene Gnos. The following Tuesday the neophytes were initiated during the school day and a semi-formal dinner was given for them at Pat Douglas’ the next night. At this meeting Miss Coleman was unanimously elected as the advisor. Providing entertainment during the half-time of the Tillamook game, the Pep and Rally girls combined to pre- sent a drill, despite the mud and rain. The Peppers helped during the rest of the football season by giving out rosters, having concessions, ushering, and making posters (of which there were many!). At the annual Thanksgiving game with Forest Grove they sold programs and ushered. Harvest Festival was the theme of the dance given the Friday preceding the Thanksgiving game. The gym was turned into a festive place of pumpkins, squash, and a 30-pound turkey named “Twirp’’. This dance was given in honor of the boys on the football team. Eleven new members were taken in during Basketball season, bringing the membership up to thirty-seven. These girls, as always, were chosen for their scholastic standing, dependability, personality and pep. The girls had their initiation and a semi- formal dinner at Ree Reilings’. The night of April 18 was a memorable one for thirty-seven Peppers and their escorts, because of the annual formal ball which was held at Oswego Lake Country Club. The officers for the year were: Corrine Wortman, president; Pat Burgesser, vice president; Peggy Coons, secretary, and Arlene Kennedy, treasurer. This club of twenty boys, organized in 1912 as a literary and debate society, has modified its program to cover local interests. However, several members havé participated in public speaking, debate, and parliamentary prac- tice, as well as music, drama and athletics. The service project for the school was a Senate Date Book containing names and addresses of all students and faculty members. A number of meetings were occupied with its compiling, because it required a great deal of time and energy to gather the information needed. This may become an annual project. Reviving an old custom, the club invited the Hi-Y and the dads of both groups to hear Paul Warren, well- known referee, talk on good sportsmanship, and to partake of refreshments after the speech. The club has always been proud of its pot-luck dinners. The old members had their banquet at Jerry Doyle's home, with games and music following the repast. The neophytes were hosts to the group at the Pharmacy Dining Room, with senators Brandaw, Bates and Hurley acting as an able committee. The fountain service was a popular feature of this affair. A dinner-dance in May will be the culminating social event of the year. The initiation followed time-honored traditions with senatorial suits, oaken tokens, street patrols and all the rest—and the following boys survived to become new senators: Ken Brandaw, Pat Hurley, Louie Halloway, Bob Bates, Merle Harrison, John Halvorson and Bob Frantz. The officers are: Wally Sigler, president; Howard Fraser, vice president; Merton ’ Sahnow, secretary; Dale Sloan, treasurer; Jerry Doyle, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Tennessee Weatherred is the advisor. Nearly every year sees the beginning of a new club, and this year it’s the Creative Art Club. This group makes an effort to stimulate creative art work among its members; and it pays considerable attention to the history of art. This vigorous young club will sponsor its first art exhibit this spring. The pages in this book devoted to art, show some of the work done by members of this group. The officers are: Bruce McElhaney, president; Maurine Putnam, vice president ; Geneva Phillips, secretary ; Ruth Wojahn, treasurer, and Miss Coleman, advisor. Originally known as the Philolexian, a literary club, Philo has completed its twenty-sixth year at Hilhi. Membership in the club ts open to all Senior girls, and its purpose is to promote sociability. The highlight of the year is the initiation, in which the initiates wear pig-tails and an odd assortment of clothes. Every year seven girls of the Junior class are chosen to head the club the next year. Officers are elected within this group. With a dance in the spring, the club finished a successful year. The officers are: Betty Treischel, president; Dorothy Iwasaki, vice president; Ruth Rierson, secretary ; Joan Wagenblast, treasurer; Pat Burgesser, sergeant-at-arms; Charlene- Helgesen, social chairman, and Jerry Tisdale, program chairman. Several projects were carried out during the term which included the repairing of toys, and the packing of candies and nuts for unfortunate children and for the Salvation Army. Scrapbooks consisting of articles, poems and stories about Christmas were made, and given to hospitals. Club members had many treats this year in the form of speeches and musical programs presented by some of the local ministers, by former Hilhi students now in Bible schools, and by evangelistic musical groups. Record attendance came in the fall when 89 Hilhi students gathered to hear the talented ‘Musical Harts”’ sing, and play their many instruments. The club has been very successful in living up to the club name, Serving Our Savior. Membership is open to all, the only requirement being that of having a sincere interest in living a Christian life. The officers are: Helen Cordrey, president; Steve Watkins, vice president; Elaine Whitmore, secretary- treasurer. Mr. Stalley is advisor. This club seeks to combine an interest in things Spanish and particularly Spanish-American, with the spirit of Fiesta. A grand Christmas party, with the traditional pinata, and a lively school dance that featured Mex- ican steps, highlighted an active social season. The officers are: Alice Furby, president; Charlene Christensen, vice president; Jane Paine, secretary- treasurer. The Y-Teens is not a new club, it is just an already well-estab- lished club with a new name. During the past summer the Na- tional Y. W. C. A. changed the name from Girl Reserves to Y-Teens, in order to give a clearer understanding of the work done by this group of girls. The club is essentially a service organization, and this year it has actively participated in the work of the American Red Cross and they. Gene The Y-Teens are a lively crowd. A Father-Daughter Banquet, a Mother-Daughter Tea and a Spring Formal Dance highlighted the always successful social season. The officers are: Charlene Helgeson, president; Blanche Lewis, vice president; Kathleen Klein, secretary; Ruth Reierson, treas- urer; and Miss Weatherred, advisor. Hl ii ft nt Reset ey 1 The policy of the Girls League is to provide a worthwhile activity for every girl in school. This year the club had a Big and Little Sister party at which Senior and Freshmen girls became acquainted. Snack Bars were sponsored by the girls after the Junior Play, the Operetta, and the Senior Play. All-girl skates were held at regular intervals. Teas were held for the girls in school. The girls served the annual Mother and Daughter Tea in the spring. Committees decorated the cafeteria and erected posters commemorating various holidays. Many Red Cross boxes were filled and sent away. The Girls League, under the leadership of Miss Esther Willers, has shown real school spirit this year. The officers are: Pat Douglass, president; Virginia Cox, vice president; Jean Kennelly, secretary; Betty Wambaugh, treasurer; Betty Weathers, service chairman; Arlene Ken- nedy, decoration chairman; and Kathleen Imlay, song leader.

In December, fifteen Red Cross gift boxes were packed for children over- seas. Even Santa Claus helped fill them, for he proved his generosity by giving us yo-yos for each box. On Saturday, December 14, thirteen girls were even more tired than they had been the so-called “unlucky” night before, when they enjoyed an hilarious, slumberless, slumber party. An ice-skating party was held later in the year. We invited our parents to a St. Patrick’s Day banquet on March 18 in the cafeteria. The Irish theme was emphasized in the food and in the decorations. Every year, Commercial Club sponsors the May Dance, complete with May queen and four princesses. The officers are: Margaret Putnam, president; Arlene Muhly, vice presi- dent; Barbara Barrows, secretary ; Hazel Gambella, treasurer; Maurine Putnam, reporter. i | ui B f z “If you want something to do, join the FHA” is the slogan of this active club. Starting the year out right, the old members took the neophytes for a jaunt uptown and showed them the sights, especially the Court House lawn, where they sang ‘Jailhouse Serenade’’. A crowning achievement was the successful FHA district convention held at Hilhi on November 19, with 100 girls attending. The state FHA conference, | held in Corvallis, was well attended by the Hilhi chapter. We sponsored a ® nominee for vice-president. For money-making projects, FHA carried on its tradition and made yarn- doll lapel pins in school colors, that were sold at games. The social side of our club life included slumber parties, ice-skating, roller- skating and barn parties. Starting a new custom, the FHA sponsored a St. ; Patrick's Day dance. The officers are: Betty Weathers, president; Ilene Gnos, vice president; Helen Seus, secretary ; Beverly Dober, treasurer. Because it shoulders. the responsibility for orderly evacuation of the building during fire drills, the Fire Club is one of the most important organizations in the school. Each member has a def- inite assignment in providing for the safety of the student body and of the building. Once every year, the club members lay aside their red sus- penders and fire hats, wipe the grime and smoke from their faces and sponsor a school dance. The girls are always anxious to have these fire-eaters for dancing partners, because fast footwork on the ladders makes for smooth footwork in the ballroom. The officers are: Tom Cailahan, president; Howard Fraser, vice president; and Wallace Sigler, secretary. The club gets a small pointer (Wes) on rescue. Fireman, save my chee-ild. , The hose line. penn At the completion of its second year, the Latin Club is well established. The purpose of the organization is to promote interest in Roman language, history, customs and art; and this purpose is carried out as much as possible in club activities. fs RESPICE With Roman slaves as an inspiration, (what an inspira- FINEM tion!) the club members subjected the neophytes to a day of slavery. Draped in togas, the first-year members, bearing their masters’ brands on their foreheads and wearing rings in their noses, carried out all orders explicitly. The annual Spring Banquet was a festive occasion. Laurel leaves and yellow flowers predominated in the dec- oration, and an old Roman tradition was followed in the crowning of the president with a laurel wreath, a sign of honor. Respice finem—look to the goal—is the motto of the club. The officers are: Wesley Poynter, president; Donna Rhodes, vice president; Joan Wagenblast, secretary; and Flora La Rue, treasurer. | | BE eee Led VENI-WIDI-Vici} mm a The F.F.A. has just completed one of its greatest years since they were organized in 1937. The Hillsboro chapter has been outstanding in this district and has been honored by having Merton Sahnow chosen as the State Vice-President. The F.F.A. has been especially outstanding in leadership. Lest er Demmin won the right to represent the 11 Western states in public speaking at the National Convention. He placed second in the United States. The parliamentary team won first in this district and will compete in the Strate finals at Pendleton. Two picnics, seven basketball games, four softball games, and a number of skating parties held jointly with the Forest Grove Chapter and with F.H.A., provided a varied program of recreation. Last summer the F.F.A. purchased a Ford tractor from War , Assets Administration, and plows and mower from Cady Motor f _ Co. They have joined the Washington County Dairy Breeders Association. ‘Sixteen boys exhibited at the county fair, winning astotal of $216.50. They exhibited 16 head of dairy, 8 head of sheep, 8 head of hogs, 3 head of beef, beside wheat, shop jobs and project booths. Nine boys exhibited at the State fair, winning $100 in premiums. They were awarded the swine annd dairy herd banners donated by the Forest Grove National Bank and the Hillsboro National Bank. _ Our judging team entered six county fairs, winning two firsts, one second, and three thirds. At the P.I.L.E. the team placed third in Dairy with 54 teams competing. At the sectional contest last spring Hillsboro won two first places, 4 second places, and 5 third places. The officers are: Merton Sahnow, president; Lester Demmin, vice president; Norman Goetze, secretary; Curtis Sahnow, treas- urer; Charles Krueger, reporter. : F.FA.Scctionat ememmems PARLiAMENTARY CONTEST —— wee : i GORATED BY� FOREST GROVE ROTARY Clup f THE BASKETBALL SQUAD — NO LOSSES IN THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS!

A large number of girls participated in the class tourna- ment, the Seniors emerging victorious, followed by the Juniors, and Sophomore A. Captains of these teams were Shirley Troughber, Betty Wambaugh, and Gloria Beem, respectively. Highlights of the volleyball season were the victories by the Freshmen and Upperclassmen over Beaverton. Greeting the basketball season with hearty cheers, the girls once more tried to master the art of shooting, guarding, and other fundamentals that are the basis for a winning basketball team. The class tournament supplied ample competition for the girls, with the Seniors again taking first place, Juniors second, and Sophomore A third. A squad of twenty was chosen by Miss Fish to represent Hilhi in interschool competition. This squad has set a record by remaining undefeated for three consecutive years. They posted one win over Jefferson, two over Beaverton, and one ove: Forest Grove, for a total of four wins and no losses. High scorer for the season was Lucy Mann with a total of 55 points. This spring, softball, badminton, ping-pong, tennis and horseshoes took the spotlight. Newly purchased equipment in- cludes horseshoes, softballs, bats, and gloves; but our most prized possession is a new white-rubber home plate! For the first time in a number of years, tennis instruction has been given to those who were interested. By next year we hope to have interschool competition open for girls. In between the full schedule of sports are squeezed the muscle-straining, back-breaking exercises of daily. P. E. classes. The girls who made outstanding records in these exercises are: Kathy Owen, 80 treadmill; Ruth Scholtz, 2114 inches, jump reach ; Beverly Davis, 21 push-ups; Gladys Losli, 20 pull-ups. Tovce Hartrampf earned the highest grand total of 19544 points, Virginia Anicker was second with 171, and Billie Gottlieb third with 1491. © i : sited LEWIS McCORKLE JIM DAVIS DON KIRSCH Line and “‘B’’ Squad Coach Head Coach Frosh Coach ROW 1: Callahan, Richards, Hershey, McCann, Sigler, Doyle, Brandaw, Shearer.

In addition to these was the largest number of men ever to come out for football at Hillsboro. Using a system of football somewhat different than that used here in former years, he began whipping a team together in a business- like manner. The T.Y.V. League Jamboree was held this year on our field. For fifteen minutes the Spartans faced the Forest Grove gridmen and came out on the short end of a 6-0 score. Playing its first regular game, the squad beat a good Milwaukie Maroon outfit 19-13. the Tigard boys. This tangle was featured by a 70-yard punt return for a touchdown by “Wee” Willie Laird. These two early victories hardly prepared us for the blow that followed, when a powerhouse crew from McMinnville, invading the home field, decisively defeated us 26-0. The Hilhi charges played a good brand of football in the first half, but failed to do so in the final stanza. Newberg came next, and the outcome of this clash was apparent when the half ended. Poor pass defense on our part and good brand of flipping on theirs gave them three touchdowns via the air route and the final score was 32-0 against us. Smarting from these two crushing defeats, the Blue and White were in a vicious frame of mind when Tillamook came to town. The Spartans looked like a different team in this clash, blocking and tackling savagely, and it was Hillsboro 49, Cheesemakers 13. Next the West Linn Lions, unaware that the Hilhi grid machine had really started to move, stepped in front of it, and were rolled under 21-6. Midway through the season Astoria’s Fishermen attempted to ensnare the Blue and White in their nets, but the ranting Hilhi forward wall broke up three Fishermen thrusts, THE LINE REALLY EXPLODED ON THIS ONE The T.Y.V. League schedule opened with the Spartans playing Toa? Pols while shaking the Spartan backs loose for four touchdowns to win 26-0. At Beaverton the following week, the Beavers really chewed the bark off a lot of Spartans. The O'Connor crew had just too much hustle for the Davismen that night—score 32 to 14. And then came Turkey Day, and with Turkey Day the Forest Grove Vikings. By scoring three times in the first half, the Grovemen were able to stave off a determined last-half rally by the Blue and White. The huge Forest Grove line was practically impenetrable. The game was remarkable because for the first time the Davismen used the T-formation and were able to score a touchdown in only four plays while using it. Nevertheless, the cranberry sauce went to Forest Grove. The usual starting lineup saw Willie Laird, Randall Harrison, Harry Elliott and Tom Six in the backfield; Dave Eheler and Wally Sigler at ends; Ken Brandaw and Garth Kohlmeyer at tackles; Terry Christensen at one guard, with Jack Shearer and Dick Waibel alternating at the other; and Tom Callahan at center. Men who also saw considerable action were Jérry Doyle, Forrest Henning, Don Holmes, Ray Simmons, Chuck Jones, Don Rich, Wayne Danielson, Dick Knight and Les Hershey. Special recognition was given to Willie Laird and Terry Chris- tensen for their stalwart play throughout the season. Laird’s passing, punting and broken-field running along with Christen- sen’s stellar defensive play earned for them T.Y.V. all-star rating. The lettermen for the year selected Willie Laird, honorary cap- tain; Randall Harrison, most improved player, and Terry Chris- tensen, the most inspirational player. Ten seniors this year played their last football for Hilhi. They are Jim Stoller, Ray McCann, Dick Knight, Willie Laird, Wally Sigler, Ken Brandaw, Dave Eheler, Jack Shearer, Tom Callahan and Forrest Henning. WHO HAS THE BALL, TOM? THE BLOCKING THAT WINS SLEEP RUNNING, HARRY? Frosh F ootball : RES usoaen RoeteEs oonge eee mS se ey Tr en, ee a SD The frosh football team had another successful season under the tutorage of Don Kirsch. The team played three games with the following results: Hulhi frosh 6, Forest Grove freshmen 7; Hilhi frosh 0, Oregon City ninth grade 0; Hilhi frosh 12, Forest Grove freshmen 6. The members of the team who saw the most action were: Ends, Bill Pifer, Pete Amacher, and Bob Guthrie; tackles, Stan and Don Vanderzanden, Jim Manley, Dale Wachner, and Herman Leopold; guards, Alan Brooks, Wayne Van Stiphout, Loren Beier, and Burton Davis; centers, Wilbur Pearson and Vernon Schindler; quarterbacks, Bob Santee and Don Schoen; halfbacks, Adolph Rutschman, Clarence Anderson, Don Bahnson, and Peter Melhuish; fullback, Bob Jones. We believe that the experience and training these boys have received as freshmen will assure strong teams in the next three years. — — ineoet Towhill, Sauber, McCoy, Williamson, Emil Brandaw, Halvorson, Thorson, Kirkbride, Hinck, Melvin Judah, Bob Eheler, Mitchell, Schlesser, Hanna, Alvord, Pubols, Sorenson, Alexander, Madsen, Miller, Allen Morrison, Phillips, Hendershott, Smith, Kroeger, Seymour, Don Mason, Elerick, Klein, Guillory, John Mason, Carlson, Leu, Clark, Yancey, Foster, Clarno, Bahnsen, Jones, Rutschman, Anderson, Santee, Gernhart.

ST PT Pe ee IS id) A SO A Basketball This is our third straight year in the State Tourna- ment. Here are the lettermen. RANDALL HARRISON FORREST HENNING PAT HURLEY DAVE EHELER WILLIE LAIRD HOWARD FRASER LESTER HERSHEY LAWRENCE NAUGHT ALAN HUMBURG Not shown — letter was earned too late for picture. DON HUBBARD LEON JAMES DON KIRSCH, Head Coach Isn't Randall Cool? JIM DAVIS, Assistant Coach Don Kirsch, Hilhi coach, was greeted by only four returning let- termen when he sounded his first practice call. They were Willie Laird, Dave Eheler, Howard Fraser and Forrest Henning. After the usual period devoted to conditioning and reviewing the fundamentals of basketball, the following men were added to those already named, to make up the traveling squad: Jerry Doyle, Al Humburg, Randall Harrison, Leon (Blimp) James, Larry Naught, Don Hubbard, Les Hershey and Pat Hurley. Hilhi opened the season at Rainier on December 12—one of the most unusual seasons ever witnessed at Hilhi. Here was a team that, given the right night, could play like real champions; but given the wrong night, well... ! Anyway, after having lost a game during season to most of the District 9 teams, the Spartans showed a spark- ling rejuvenation as tournament time approached, and carried off the district honors for the third consecutive year. But we are getting ahead of our story—here’s what happened before the tournament. At Rainier that first game Bob Ball, who became leading scorer for the state, led his team mates to a 55-28 win over us. Then fol- lowed a losing streak of five games; Mollala twice, Seaside, La Grande and Goldendale. The Goldendale club was one of eight that attended a pre-season invitational tournament at The Dalles. It was here that the Spartans won for the first time, the victims being the Redmond Panthers. The following night, however, the Spartans lost a consolation game to The Dalles. Later in a return engage- ment with the Rainier Columbians, Hillsboro lost again. The T.Y.V. Lea gue play opened January 3, on the home floor— Hilhi 37-Tillamook 33. Then the McMinnville Grizzlies reduced the Blue and White league percentage to .500. Then on one of those “right nights’ it was Spartans 28-Beaverton 25. The next three games were losses, to Newberg, Forest Grove and Tigard. In the last gene ps the first half of the season, the score was Hilhi 38, West inn 34. Second-half play began with a trip over the Coastal Range through a foot of snow to invade the Tillamook Cheese factory. After trail- Hubba, Hubbard! ———— Buses ——. ing 16-6 at half-time, the Blue and White managed to snatch victory by a narrow 29 to 26 margin. Following this win the Spartans were denied victory in four straight games, McMinnville 37-28, Beaver- ton 41-35, Forest Grove 42-27 and Newberg 38-28. -As a respite from the rigors of league play the Spartans went to Sherwood, leaving all seniors at home. Excepting for Doyle, it was an 'H” of a lineup—Hurley, Hershey, Hubbard, Humburg, Harrison and Henning, the younger. We won 43-38. Then the squad bounced back against Tigard, winning by a 52-40 margin. But alas, the West Linn Lions really came out of the cage and clawed the Spartans badly. As we mentioned in the opening paragraph, ‘twas a strange year, for in District 9 playoffs on the home floor, the Spartans became the Giant Killers, winning over Beaverton 41-25, Sherwood 51-36 and Tigard 47-35. And so Hilhi went to the State Tournament for the third year ina row. The State Tournament was not an impressive show as far as the Spartans were concerned: Newberg 48, Hillsboro 29; Roosevelt of Portland 73, Hillsboro 28. Why say more about the State Tourna- ment? The final touches were put on the ‘47 season at the Rotary Club banquet. Willie Laird, winner of KXL Player of the Week recogni- tion one week, received the Captain's plaque. Randall Harrison was awarded Most Inspirational award; Les Hershey was the winner of the Sportsmanship trophy. In addition Willie Laird was selected on the reserve T.Y.V. All-Star team, and Forrest Henning and Dave Eheler were.given honorable mention. Seniors playing their last basketball for the Blue and White were Howard Fraser, Leon James, Larry Naught, Dave Eheler, Willie Laird, and Forrest Henning. Letters were awarded to Randall Harrison, Pat Hurlev, Dave Eheler. Forrest Henning. Willie Laird, Howard Frase r, Les Hershey, Larry Naught, Don Hubbard and Leon James. Basketball grammar: What tense? Hurley gets the tip. Stren-u-u-ous! Our money is on the ref. Time to relax. “B” Squad 4 — Melhuish, Frantz, Amacher, Nierman, Rutschman, Anderson, Schindler, Merrill, Humburg, Henning, Madsen, Shultz, McInnis, Doyle, Reule, Sundin. Pearson, Jones, Bahnson. With Bob Frantz, Don Bahnson, Peter Melhuish, Adolph Rutschman and Peter Amacher as the bulwark, the hard | playing Spartan rooks downed thirteen opposing teams, and were beaten in only four contests, in this the first year of | complete-schedule freshman basketball in the T.Y.V. league. Other members of the team, coached by Jim Davis, were: Darrel Brown, Jim Nierman, Clarence Anderson, Wilbur Pearson, Bob Jones and Merle Harrison. As these men | develop into varsity material, we think they will help to keep Hilhi in the state play-offs. se It was even Steven for the ‘’B’’ squad this year. They won ten games and lost ten. These are perhaps the unsung heroes of the year, since they must so often serve as “cannon fodder’’ for the varsity. Oh, well, wait ‘til next year, fellows! Baseball Because most of the baseball games will be played after this Annual goes to press, we can give but a brief account of this popular sport.. Coach Kirsch’s Hilhi nine is built around four lettermen: Jim Stoller, infielder; Forrest Henning, shortstop; Wally Sigler, first base; and Dick Waibel, pitcher. From the more than a hundred aspirants turning out for baseball, Coach Kirsch chose the following men for prob- able starting line-ups: McInnis, catcher; Waibel, Nierman, Madsen, Lowry and Alvord as pitchers; Sigler, first base; W. Henning or Martin, second base; F. Henning, shortstop ;, Stoller, third base; Hood, left field; Reule, center field; Naught, right field. Top reserves are Humburg, Klein, Frantz and Harp. The team will play its regular T.Y.V. schedule in new suits of grey, trimmed in red and blue. Field The large number of participants indicates that rain did not greatly dampen enthusiasm for track and field this spring. The team is composed of seven lettermen: Jerry Doyle, Willie Potten, Ray Sim- mons, Burt Hendershott, Harold Dilley, LeRoy Bertalot and Jerry Voorhees; and also Jack Drennan, Randall Harrison, Richard Cayo, Frank Bertalot, Don Hubbard, Joe Kennedy, Dave Kauf- man, Jim Walker, Chuck Jones, Don Rich, Bill Pifer, Garth Kohlmeyer, Pat Hurley, Gordon Faber and Don Bahnson. This book goes to print before the season is well under way, so we cannot report full results ; but the fact that Hilhi won ten firsts out of thirteen events in the first dual meet augurs well for the coming meets. The schedule includes a dual meet with Forest Grove, the Hayward Relays at Eugene, Beaverton Relays, County meet, district meet and the State meet at Corvallis. The team is coached by Jim Davis and Lewis McCorkle. “aaa we eget Eb: _ J ; 3 ' ae _ of Ln ) Os “ det ee Ve o. nanan SS - a a tae te y ¢ Lactic CO PO Cag SLE F é i a ane ror —_
