RAY TALBERT ADMINISTRAT-ICN As your new principal I could sympathize with the freshman on the tirst day of school last year. Now, as the closing day approaches, I want all the students to know how much l have appreciated your friendly co- operation in making this year o success. Some changes have been made in the school plant, and I have been proud of your respect for the grounds and the building. Several new teachers have been added to our staff and both they and l have enjoyed your friendly attitude and interest. To the graduating seniors, the whole school joins me in saying, lt's been nice to know you, we'll miss you and we wish you well. l personally look forward to greeting the underclassmen next Sep- tember, when we can again unite our efforts toward a year of study, fun, and achievement.

Harold Berger Ann Munford Don Piper You, you, and you will be on the committee, were words which became familiar to the twelve members of the student council this year, as a commit- tee was appointed each time a problem arose. On most of these committees, outside advice was brought in to help solve the problems more satisfactorily. The student council this year faced problems such as: Keep- ing the cafeteria clean, electing student body officers each se- mester, ond a different system to choose cheer leaders. Besides, small problems also came up, Twelve representatives make up Hilhi's student government, four are student body officers, and two are from each of the four classes. Hilhi's student body president, Kent Busch, conducted the meetings of the council held every Monday noon in the Little Theater. Members of the student gov- ernment also attended student council conventions of other areas, one at Wy'East and one in Portland, to learn what other student councils were doing. Mr. Foelker and Mrs. Knispel were advisors. . kwa it Once again the time has come when the seniors depart for the lost time from the halls of Hilhi. This is not the beginning of the usual vaca- tion, but the beginning of a new life for those who are graduating. Our years at Hilhi have been full of fun and enjoyment, this happiness will never be found again. But the memories gained here will stay with us forever. We would like to thank the ad- ministration and faculty for their ex- pert guidance in showing us how to get the most out of everything in school. They have kept us going straight through and have tried to help us over any obstacle that hap- pened to be in our way. Also, we would like to thank those who will be returning next year for the fun and for contributing in mak- ing the years '53-'54 the best yet at Hilhi. With these thoughts I extend to all whom we leave a hope of success in every endeavor for which you may strive. Sincerely, KENT BUSCH Class of 1954 Dan Paulson, Representative Otis Hollar, Secretary Wyman Gernhart, President Bill Schulenberg, Vice-President Busy-yesg ambitious-well, yesg studious -we-ll, yes, talented-yes. Does this sound like someone you know? lt should, it's the seniorsl Their career at Hilhi began with the Rooks' Review to show the rest of the student body the talent they possessed. The end of that year saw them ready and willing to attack the prob- lems that would come next year. in their second year, the class showed that they could compete with even the best. Mem- bership on the varsity athletic teams included several sophomores. We can't forget the girls, either, who also showed excellent athletic ability throughout their four years. The junior class play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay presented a preview of their talent. The prom, Flower Fantasy, again dis- played the imagination of the class of '54, Among the athletic awards earned by juniors was a TYV All-Star. Being two-year veterans in forensics, the juniors on the speech squad produced even more winning power, which they carried over into the senior year. The traditional senior dress-up day gave students as well as the faculty a day of laughs. Father ot the Bride, the senior play, again demonstrated acting ability. The graduating members of the varsity athletic teams gained even more honor with TYV and Shrine All-Star positions. Now, the big day for the class of '54 is graduation---May, l954. The advisors were Miss Cimino and Mr. Osmundson. ADAMS, ELAINE-Girls 'League I-2-3-45 GAA 35 Y-Teens 4. Ambition: Marriage.

To start the year off, Harold Berger was elected student body vice-president. This was the first time a junior has held a student body office in five years. ln November the juniors had a Clash Day and the same evening they held their class party, which every one enjoyed im- mensely. Mother is a Freshman was the selection for the junior class play, it was a light comedy on which the class worked enthusiastically. For the first time the junior class held an all-school semi-formal dance, with Winter Wonderland as the theme. Several junior boys won letters in 'foot- ball, basketball, baseball, wrestling, and track, and several were chosen as TYV All-Stars. The biggest event, of course, was the Prom, which the juniors planned and presented for the seniors, the theme was Jungle Paradise and fun was had by all. Altogether this has been an eventful year for this fastrising junior class, who were great- ly helped by their class officers-Chuck Cota, president, John Clarno, vice-president, Dixie Johnson, secretary, and Lois Reser, class repre- sentative. Advisors were Miss Hildeman and Mr. Snyder. is -E .

Roger Turk, sophomore class president, led these lively Spartans in the many activities in which they participated this year. He was aided by Lewis West, vice-president, Sharon Burdett, secretary-treasurer, and Dick Frantz, repre- sentative. The sophomores were really on the ball when they yelled hard enough to win the pep flag twice--much to the disapproval of the upper classmen. The highlight of the year for these vigorous students was the party which they hold annual- ly. This sophomore party started in the cafeteria with fried chicken, along with every other kind of pot-luck dish imaginable, and ended in the party room with dancing and ping-pong. Wayne Motz and Susan Mann were crowned King and Queen of the party as one of the main entertainments. The sophomores helped to sponsor an all- school dance falong with the froshi which had an exceptionally good turn out. Choir, speech and debate, boys' and girls' sports, and iournalism are just some of the things this year's sophomores were active in. v-.NNN ROW I-Raymond Alexenko, Bob Byrnes, Ron Brooke, Pat Curtis, Daryon Andrcsen, Carole Clark, Carole Baker, Beverly Cordrey, Barni Chapman, Sharon Bills, Velene Connolly, Karen Bagley, Pat Albercling.

Yessiree, you couIdn't miss , ,H em. The i954 freshmen showed their stuff 283 strong when they stepped through the doors of Hilhi on their first day in these hallowed halls of learning. Organization was the first step towards con- quering those many goals set up before them. The class chose Loren Potthoff, Willetta Young, Phyllis Steeves, and Janice Kummer as their leaders. The freshmen assembly day was a bright one! Green bow ties and ribbons were worn by all the frosh to show their enthusiasm and the support of their classmates who were per- forming on the auditorium stage before the whole student body. Judy Hofer was chairman fo the program. Cup your hands! is what everyone whis- pered on pep assembly days. The freshmen once had to yell off a tie for the pep flag and are out to get it next year! The biggest class event of the year was the much-talked about and long-planned-for party on April 22, complete with food, lots of entertainment and scads of freshmen! The com- mittee heads from each freshmen English class were: George Biersdorf, Robert Meltebeke, Shir- ley Lockman, Margie Meihoff, Judy Hofer, Di- anne Peterson, Patsy Burdett, Pat Crowell, Diedre Sahnow, and Gretchen Faber.

BOB IMBRIE FRED CAMPBELL Fire Boys' League Giris' League PAULINE I-IERING EDITOR AND ASSISTANT EDITOR Hilhi The annual staff of i954 has tried to put out a yearbook of which the students of Hilhi can be proud. The editor of the i954 yearbook was Ron Kilburg with John Hornecker as assistant editor. Carol Shaw and Marianne Burns were the business manager and assistant business manager, respectively. Mr. Knispel served as the faculty advisor and Mr. Talbert was the advisor of the photography staff. Sections heads were: John Hornecker and Lorna Kummer, activities, Mari' anne Burns, classes, Jerry Beier, sports, Janet Os- mundson, girls' sports. The i954 cover was designed by Melvin Loomer. The general staff consisted of Ed Meihoff, Joan Meltebeke, Ann Munford, David Denton, Dean Farnham, Jean Davis, Sally Barnard, Donna Mosier, Kathleen Wil- cox, Annabelle Welch, Joan Willingham, Pat Crowell, Patsy Burdette, Marilyn Dye, Norissa Leger, Margie Meihoff, and Diedre Sahnow, The photography staff was headed by Tom Hesse and Ferdy Bish. Other members were Scott Curtis, Paul Hamilton, Bill I-lillgaertner, and Mary Fikar. The editor would like to express his appreciation to Mrs, Knispe! and the journalism classes, who were a great help in doing writeups and identifying pictures. Hilhilites About all that the student body sees the paper staff do is get out of class early to distribute papers or ask questions for stories. But the ten members of this organization will readily inform anyone that much is done behind scenes. Planning layouts, scheduling pictures, proofreading, writing headlines, checking facts and spelling, criticizing and improving, getting ad copy and, worst of all, meet- ing Argus deadlines is what is done both in Room 209 during fifth period and after school. With the help of two journalism classes, the staff had very little trouble meeting deadlines, The after- noon class was also responsible for the extra issues pub- lished this year by raising both the quantity and the quality of the advertisements. Enthusiastic members spend their own time at- tending discussion meetings and lectures by professional journalists to learn ways in which to improve our paper. ln the fall, four of them and Mrs. Knispel attended a press conference on the University of Oregon campus. Spring found five entered in the annual Northwest High School journalism contest at Pacific University. Once each month a group attended a TYV Press Club meet- ing to discuss solutions to problems concerning the pub- lication of a high school paper. The staff enjoyed doing all of this-and more-to inform, entertain and influence the readers of the Hilhi- lites. LANCE MUSHAW, Editor , yswoww we Choir Candle-light processional , , . l3th annual Christmas con- cert . . . Hi-jinks . . , Easter concert . . . were the highlights of this year's choir activities. The first big event on the calendar for Hilhis choral group was the l3th annual Christmas concert held in the gym. Members of the choir council, with Mr. Clark and Miss Kirk- patrick, planned the concert and followed through to head committees for the decoration of the gym. A candle-light processional used in this concert was first of its kind at l-lilhi and pleased the capacity crowd. Besides the many school assemblies and programs, three busy l-lilhi singers entertained at Rotary club and Chamber The choir also did their part in the Hi-jinks, which was on all-school show for the first time. The complete choir was not able to sing in the links, but a select group did participate. Next on the agenda, one week after the Hi-jinks, the junior and senior choirs took part in the TYV choir contest held at Forest Grove this year. The Hilhi l-larmonaires re- ceived a l rating at this contest. The choirs, which were not graded, received all good criticisms. The Easter concert, held the day after the music contest proved to be a great success by drawing the largest crowd ever to attend a concert of this type at Hilhi. Baccalaureate and graduation are the last two appear- ances mode by the choir every year. These are the last two performances the seniors make with the choir. Gerald McDowell was president of the choir for l953'54. Doug Anderson was vice-president, Darlene Leland, secretary, Lorna Kummer, publicity, Shirley Corn, Bob Gabelman and Paul Messer were representatives, of Commerce meetings during the noon hours. vzqsssrza:'.+..'-.-if -,-.- 1.57:a:.1:mg.,.-,ww-::'.:-:rxmsxemxww.X1.1:sgr:m-xamw-.Fe,::.,1:.1-,--screw zo-iqz zcsm:Asmm Xwvmxsss, 4,t-,.- .-.-.-. pi: :. .. ....

This was their major trip of the year, although they did journey to surrounding grade schools and serve as honor band in the fall for the 'Rosy, the Elephant parade in Port- lnad. The Hilhi band also helped represent the school by appearing at nearly all football games and giving half- time shows at home games. At all home basketball games a pep band tooted some peppy tunes. Throughout the year the band spent many hours of hard work preparing for such functions as the annual Christmas program, a PTA performance, o Student Body assembly, the l-li-Jinks, and their annual spring concert, which was an outstanding success this year. They also participated in the TYV Music Festival, held at Forest Grove this year. The old saying about everything being all work and no play just didn't hold true in the case of the band, for this year they have gone on several pleasure trips. One was when they attended the Navy Band concert at the civic auditorium in Portland: another, the all-day picnic at the beach in late spring. An elected council plays an active part in determin- ing all band activities. Those on the council this year weer Jimmy Walker, president, Jackie Parry, secretary- treasurer, Jackie Wilcox, Susan Mann, Wayne Motz, and Jim Naylor, representatives. 1 , M, 'Vx M' 4 . vw K kv' Nam. ,MQW S X: a .X 41,1 ufset 1 'sf Q W' My-w W if . i DANCE BAND M ,M wg gut other Is a Freshman Fifty-six hours of rehearsal, tears and laughter all went to make this year's junior class play, Mother ls a Freshman, directed by Mr. Lloyd Carothers, drama instructor.

Sixty very active students made up this year's membership. Because of these hard workers, the club had enough money in the coffers to pay for an annual page, have their banquet, and leave plenty of money for next year. First on the agenda for the Romans was the initiation ceremony in the party room at the beginning of the school year. The initiation consisted of o formal ceremony followed by humorous stunts, and of course, refreshments! Neophytes came to initiation in Roman cos- tume and officers wore the traditional laurel wreaths. Besides working in concessions at games for their own club, the members of the Latin club help in many school activities. The annual Latin Club banquet was held during the ldes of March in the cafeteria, Forty-four members attended this banquet to share the food and fun. Seven members presented The Assassination of Caesar, a comical skit, as entertainment. This skit, in which all dialogues was set to music, showed the exact assassination in a very hmuorous manner. Other entertainment was also presented. The luscious toad at the banquet was prepared and cooked by members of the club. Leading these Romans this year were Lorna Kurnmer, princeps Cpresidentij Carole Clark, adjutrix lvice-president, and Marilyn Dye, scriba-praefectus Csecretary-treasurerl.

The I8 estudiantes and their advisor, la senorita Mariorie Sims, had just entered the door of the newly-remodeld Pancho's, Spanish restaurant on Sandy and 33rd in Portland, after having their official initiation at the school one evening in October. The hot, spicy dinner included tacos, enchiladas, refritos, quesa- dillos, frijoles, tostados, leche tmilki and helado lice crearni. Also on every table one found a large glass jar of aqua lwaterl, which was consumed quite quickly by the diners. Even when the estudiantes espanoles arrived home, their thirst had not yet been quenched. This dinner, along with handling concessions ata football game, were some of the activities the 20 miembros del Club de Espanol have done this year. Their noon hour meetings, scheduled for once every two weeks, are presided over by Jackie VVilcox, president.

Some people think 5 a.m. is mighty early to arise, but to the members of the Skl Club, 5 a.m. and rise and shine are nothing compared to the aching bones after one of the glorious trips that the clubbers take to picturesque Mt. Hood. Skiers took six trips this year, the price for each trip, includ- ing bus fare, skiis, boots, poles, and tow, was 54.75. The bus left at 5:45 a.m. for a full day of skiing, and arrived back at 6:30 p.m. Miss Gloria Van Wyk, girls' physical education instructor, spent a great deal of her time on the mountain teaching the fundamentals of skiing to the club members. Slalom, snowplow, track, and stem-christiania were just a few of the terms that Miss Van Wyk translated into action on the slopes of Mt. Hood. The purpose of the Ski Club is to promote skiing in safety , the membership requirement is just to be en- thusiastic about the snow sport. Officers this year were: John Hornecker, president, Bill Schul- enberg, vice-president, Nancy Putnam, secretary-treasurer. Gordon Sahnow was equipment manager and George Putnam assistant equipment manager. Advisors were Miss Van Wyk and Mr. Carl Gutmann. W, 1 U., wb Ready to Go Home Rifle The Rifle Club this year had a membership of 20 students in- terested in the principles of marksmanship.

Fire Seen closing windows and holding doors open during tire drills were members of the Fire Club, upholding their purpose of protecting Hilhi students in case of a fire. At the beginning of the school year, the members made up mimeographed sheets which were posted in all classes, giving instruc- tions in the procedure to follow during a fire drill. Each member has a particular job to be carried out faithfully during the year. The Fire Club has charge of all the fire drills which are held in accord- ance with state fire rules. At the end of the school year, the members present names of new members to be voted on. Responsibility and loyalty are just two of the main qualifications of new members.

However, as was common through the year, they were never outfought. This was a smooth, aggressive football team made up of sophomores, juniors, and seniors playing under two definite handicaps, inexperience and learning a different system, introduced by a new head coach, Dick Miller. They started the season not quite prepared for the big, experienced Milwaukie Maroons, but soon Coach Miller's system and the inspiration he and his able assistants instilled in the team was working smoothly, and they continued their supremacy over their TYV opponents. Highlight of the season was the thrilling and well-earned victory over highly- favored Oregon City. ln the dying seconds of the game, Dick Edwards, league-scoring champion, took a short pass from Allan Leinan, and behind some terrific blocking and deception, went 87 yards down the sidelines to score the winning touchdown, We are sure this game will be remembered as one of the most thrilling contests in the history of the League. After this game the Spartans continued to roll through a tough schedule until they were finally upset by a very spirited Beaverton team. Although beaten, they gained the respect of their opponents and supporters with their show of aggressiveness. The year's victories were spirited by the great defensive play of Bud Bahnsen and Jim Olsen, while the offensive line play of John Lytle, Eldon Ewing, and Paul Messer was out- standing. A fast and deceptive senior backfield was spirited by the smooth quarterbacking of Allan Leinan, the aggressiveness of Wyman Gernhart at halfback, the blocking of fullback Jerry Beier, and the sensational offensive play of halfback Dick Edwards.

After dropping their first five contests, Coach Lou Samsa's cagers did an about face as they roared to their second consecutive TYV basketball title. The Spartans won their first four league games to set a new TYV winning streak at l8 in a row. Following two losses, Hilhi then proceeded to win their remaining loop encounters, finishing with a l2-2 mark for league play. For the first time since Lou Samsa took over the head coaching reins, Hilhi failed to enter the state tournament. Two upsets in district play stopped the Spartans short of their sixth straight visit to state. The Spartans ended season's play with an overall l7-l0 record. A new school scoring record was established when the Spartans dunked in 84 points against West Linn. Balanced scoring featured the i953-54 team. A sharp fast break, coupled with accurate passing and dazzling shooting, enabled Hilhi to overcome a lack of height. Five players scored more than lOO points for, the season. Three Spartans were among the top I2 scorers in the league. Dennis Eckert placed 7th, Dick Edwards 9th and Fred Campbell l2th. Wyman Gernhart, Gary Humburg and Fred Campbell were recipients of the annual Rotary club awards presented at the conclusion of the season.

Hilhi grapplers finished in a two-way tie for second in the league as they won five and lost two, Hilhi's two-year reign on the district one mat championship was snapped as Parkrose, a team they had soundly whipped earlier in the year, copped the crown. Hilhi won third place with a total of 45 points. Five wrestlers, Jim Angevine, Autrey Ehler, Don Yoss, Bob lmbrie and Harvey Cooper, qualified for the state tourney. lmbrie placed third and Ehler took fourth spot at the state finals. Cooper was defeated by the eventual state champion. Prospects for next season are bright indeed. Coach Baisch awarded ll letters and only two of the award winners will be lost by graduation.
