Lake Stevens High School - Pilchuck Yearbook (Lake Stevens, WA)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1939 volume:

FOREWORD The 1939 Pilchuc contains a complete record of the happenings of the class of '39 during the four years of its High School career. It is written in commemoration of Washing' ton’s Golden Jubilee, celebrating its 50th year of progress as a State of the Union. We have, herein, attempted to portray to you the remarkable advancement which we, as a State and as a people, have accomplished. We sincerely hope this Annual will bring to its readers much joy and happiness now and in the years to come. Dedication In appreciation of his many services, helpful guidance and sincere efforts, we, the Senior class, dedicate to Mr. Temby, the PilchucX of 1939. Principal's Message The Pilchuc of 1939 embodies the theme of the Washington Golden Jubilee, “Fifty Years of Progress.” It is well to look back on our past and to take inventory of our accomplishments, but how much better to look forward to new and greater achievements. The next fifty years—what will they hold for us? This will of course be determined by what we put into these years. The seeds of our achieve' ment are sown in the years of association in school. It is here that we learn diligence toward our appointed tasks, cooperation with our fellows, and good sportsmanship in all of our endeavors. At the Washington Centennial in 1989 will you be able to look back with pride to your part in the progress of your state? I have faith that you will. C T IS virtually impossible to visualize any other spot so truly an outing place as Mount Rainier. But a short hour’s drive from the places immersed in the gruelling toil of life, its environment is one of most pleasurable, intelligent festivity. Each visitor for the time being having shed dull care, is filling his lungs with pure, rarefied air; and always the physical elevation brings an elevation of spirit. One has but to try it to know that, more than any other class of humanity, the earth’s most earthy should occasionally get up in God’s beautiful clouds. GcJminisfaatien Faculty E. R. Hunt J. H.

Graduation Graduation, to the senior, seems The realization of four years’ dreams. The arrival at last of the fatal hour Imparts to him a sense of power. For, now, he's entirely on his own, To see for himself his fate unknown; To venture forth on alien sand, Or explore anew his native land. What awaits him, he does not know, His part in life, only time will show. But whatever path his feet may trod, He’ll do his best with the help of God. —Juanamae Knight.

CLASS HISTORY The fall of 1935 marked the beginning of our “careers” in the halls of Lake Stevens High School. The new atmosphere was indeed strange and exciting, but soon we had entered the crowd of enthusiastic students, and our first day was over without too many mis- takes. As newcomers our class officers included: Bob Swarzmiller, president; Oril Wolf, vice-president; Juanamae Knight, secretary; and Bob Kittleson, treasurer. Mr. Martina and Miss Fredericks were our advisers, showing us the way to start a successful career in high school. Our first year was suc- cessful in regard to participation in school activities. About fifteen members of our class were in the vaudeville; Bob Swarzmiller had an important part in the all school play. During our second year we were under the leadership of Frank Par- dee, president; Helen Rider, vice-president; Virginia Knudson, secretary- treasurer. Mr. Bancroft was our adviser. Bob Swarzmiller and Lucille Case played important roles in the all school play. Fourteen sophomore students were represented in the Torch Honor Society. The sophomore girls’ star basketball team defeated the freshmen and seniors, but were de- feated by the juniors. We were all saddened by the death of our beloved classmate, Gladys Wampler. On the last day of the school term the class had a “swell” time at Storm Lake. In our junior year we elected Kenny Blaine, president; Wally Meyers, vice-president; Ila Johnson, secretary-treasurer. Evelyn Bowman and Frank Pardee were our representatives in the Student Council, while Miss Stew- art helped immeasureably as our adviser with the Junior Prom. The Junior Prom was the most important event of the year. The gym, decorated like a ship, provided a colorful scene for the many dancers. Bus Riley’s orch- estra furnished excellent music for the dancing. Junior members made a good showing in the all school play; Virginia Knudson successfully carried the heroine’s role with Bob Kittleson playing a minor part. We were sorry to see the following students leave our class for other ports: Frank Burns, Bob Mathias, Bob Swarzmiller, Stanley Tastad, Wayne Ulrich, Lois Pitchford, Shirley Shaler. We were glad to welcome: Manard Tedford, Ray Dobyns, Glenn Hedstrom, Vera Thompson, Meryl Soreide, Stan Sanders, Olaf Sather, Marjorie Rux, Laura Morehouse. This year the class had two picnics; one at Community Beach and the other one at Leckie’s Beach. Senior class officers included Oril Wolf, president; Frank Pardee, vice- president; Connie Conrad, secretary-treasurer; and Harry Lervick our rep- resentative in the Student Council. Mr. Temby was our adviser and guided our destinies through the final year. Frank Pardee was elected Editor of the Flashlight; Bob Kittleson, Editor of the Annual and Harold Johnson, Business Manager. The Senior play, an activity that has not been carried out for several years, was revived this year. “Seventeen” was one of the best dramatic productions Lake Stevens has ever seen. The following seniors received their permanent Torch pins: Glenn Hedstrom, Bob Kittleson, Ila Johnson, Frank Pardee, Verna Sebring. These people should be congratulated cn mainta ning a high standard of schob arship. Although the seniors had no teacher supervising their act in the All School Program their finished product was pronounced the outstanding feature of the Revue. It consisted of an Amateur Hour with four acts. Glenn Hedstrom and Shirley Miller were the pianists who performed so childishly; Ethel Leffler and Wilma Thompson, the hick farm girls; two boys with fine voices—Oril Wolf and Stan Sanders; Olaf Sather, who com' pletely stole the show with his fine singing and playing. He won the first place award which was a sucker. Frank Pardee did a fine job as the cap' tain, also Hubert Carlson as the radio announcer. The senior class was proud to have four of its members go from this school as our representatives in the High School Conference in Seattle. They were: Ila Johnson, Dorothy Jolitz, Frank Pardee and Kenneth Blaine. These students gave very interesting reports of what they had seen and heard while at this conference. All of the Student Body officers were sen' iors this year: Kenneth Blaine, president; Helen Rider, vice'president; Ila Johnson, secretary; and Evelyn Bowman, treasurer. This year our class voted to drop the old custom of announcing the valedictorian and salutatorian who are the two highest in the class. Instead the highest ten per cent students were announced. They were named in ab phabetical order and are: Glenn Hedstrom, Ila Johnson, Bob Kittleson, Frank Pardee, and Marjorie Rux. The class officers had a meeting and de' cided to have Ila Johnson and Frank Pardee as our two student speakers at graduation exercises. Class Colors..................................

We interrupt this program to bring you the latest dope on the graduating class of 1939, telegraphed to us by those two ace reporters of the Associated Press, Miss Marybelle Marcuson and Miss Juanamae Knight, who are now circling the globe in their snappy little monoplane, “The Flash.” New York, January 5, 1942—Landed in the famous Tedford A’roort about eight A.M. With our photographer, Mr. Hubert Carlson and our mechanic, Mr. Reinold Johnson, we had breakfast in the exclusive B'lt- more Hotel, where we had the honor of dining with Mr. Stan Sanders, who is now training at Madison Square Gardens, prior to his fight with Ray Granger for the title of World Champion. Mr. Sanders asked us to be his guests that evening at the Roxy Theater, where the toast of Broadway, Miss Verna Sebring and her leading man, the dashing baritone, Mr. Olaf Sather, are playing in a return engagement of the picture that took the na- tion by storm, “When Pa Was Courtin’ Ma.” London, England, January 7, 1942—Were met at the a-rport by Prime Minister Kittleson and his charming wife, the former Miss Helen Ri- der. We had dinner at the Kittleson mansion and afterwards went to the opera, where we had the pleasure of seeing the greatest opera star of all times, Miss Margaret Yonlick, in Mr. Roy Hanninen’s interpretation of that tragic opera, “Ferdinand the Bull.” Needing a bit of cheering up after seeing this doleful epic, the Kittlesons took us to the hot spot of London night life, “The Twin Twerp’s Club,” owned by Miss Barbara Newman and Miss Dorothy Jolitz. The most enjoyable act on the floor show was the man on the flying ditty, dashingly executed by Mr. Carl Bartlett in a two-piece, form-fitting, cheese cloth gown, designed by the noted designer, Miss Beverly Rasmus. Versailles, France, January 8, 1942—Due to military disturbances, our stay in Versailles was very brief. We stopped just long enough to satis- fy the insistant appeals of our photographer, who wanted a picture of his childhood sweetheart, Miss Helen Hanson, now the wife of Mr. Glenn Hedstrom, head chef at the world famous “Can Opener Cafe,” in France. Calcutta, India, January 10, 1942—Our arrival caused a great deal of excitement among the natives, who rarely see an airplane. Mr. Reino Watson, the honorable Sultan Sourpuss, and his lovely wife, the former Miss Wilma Thompson, came to meet us. The Watsons invited us to their spacious palace to spend the night. After dinner that evening, we were entertained by two very talented dancing couples, Mr. Amil Thompson, and his wife, the former Miss Marjorie Iten and Mr. Ray Dobyns, and his wife, the former Miss Eunice Shaffer. Sahara Desert, Africa, January 14, 1942—Just as we got over the Sahara Desert, our motor failed, and we were forced to land and make repairs. As soon as we stopped the plane, a howling horde of natives rushed out of the brush and surrounded us. Mr. Harold Johnson, known to his tribe as Chief Peewee, ordered the natives to take us captive, and immediately cur hands were t:ed and we were marched to his camp. We were put in a straw hut, about which Mr. Wally Meyers marched, incessantly beating on his drums, w'th Miss Dor' othy Hungar prancing in front of h’m twirh'ng a baton. Our dinner was served by the chiefs two servants, Miss Marjorie Rux, and Miss Meryl Soreide. After dinner. Chief Peewee and two of his tribe’s council, Mr. Oril Wolf, and Mr. Roland Cushman, held a meeting to determine our fate. After an hour, they broke up, and the chief’s interpreter, Miss Ila Johnson, was sent to tell us what they had decided. She said that if our photographer would consent to stay there and marry her, we could go free. Mr. Carlson was very indignant at first, but in the long run, he grew extremely fond of Miss Johnson and was willing to stay. We re' mained long enough for the wedding ceremony, performed by Reverend Harry Bond, and then resumed our travels. Hangchow, China, January 21, 1942—Landed by means of pontoons on the Yangtze River. As luck would have it, we pulled up alongside the houseboat of Empress Laura Morehouse. She invited us in for tea, which was served by Miss Eileen Prent'ce, her maid. After tea, we were enter' tained by a group of Chinese misses, Miss Vera Thompson, Miss Bessie Lofthouse, Miss Violet Keller, and Miss Eleanor Hisey, who are ex' tremely talented in the art of jujutsu. Yokohama, Japan, January 22, 1942—Were not able to stay long, as we had a hurried call from our editor, Mr. Frank Pardee, to return home as soon as possible to give a talk at the U. S. C. We did, however, visit two of our old friends, Miss Evelyn Bowman and Miss Constance Conrad, who model kimonas in a dress shop, owned by Miss Marie Iten. U. S. C., California, February 1, 1942—Mr. Harry Lervick, chosen the most outstanding basketball player at U. S. C„ met us at the airport, and escorted us to the college. He introduced us to Mr. Kenneth Blaine, the All American football star, and Miss Shirley Miller, peppy yell leader of U. S. C. We attended a banquet given in honor of Mr. Charles McLem nan, world famous orator and his wife, the former Miss Ethel Leffler, who helps him with his talks. Lake Stevens, Washington, February 3, 1942—Home at last. The pleasure of having seen our old pals makes up for the work which has piled up on us.

(SEAL) ■ acoma “The City of Destiny” and “Watch Tacoma Grow” have been slogans applied to that city. Her advances have been a wonder to watch in the past half century. Ta- coma is noted the world over for her Lumber and Smelter- ing Industries. Tacoma’s history dates back to 1S41 when Charles Wilkes, com- mander of a United States Naval exploring expedition, began a survey of the waters of Puget Sound in an area that he named Com- mencement Hat . This Hay later saw its shores built into the third largest city in the state. Tacoma has not been slow, as the pictures will show; besides, Tacoma is placed in a naturally beautiful setting with the Mountain of its pride not tar distant. The progress that Walla Walla has made can be seen bv com- paring the print above to the picture at the bottom—a col- lege city very fair to sec. The sketch . | ........... above depicts Walla Walla in 1859, and the view at the right is the Marcus Whitman Settlement at about the same time or earlier. Wheat is to Walla Walla what fruit is to Yakima and Wenatchee. Above, a magnificent view of that city. JUNIOR CLASS The Juniors began their school activities this year by electing class officers.

FOOTBALL The Vikings completed a most successful season, when they brought home their first football championship in the school’s history. Scoring 51 points to their oppon- ents 19, the Lake won four games and tied one. The Darrington game was one of the most thrilling games that anyone could ever hope to witness. Lake Stevens pushed over a touchdown with only two seconds left to play. Because they lose only five lettermen this year, the Vikings should be a real threat for the title again next year.

After a whirlwind start, the Vikings went into a slump and never fully regained their stride; losing two of the last three league games and both contests in the tournament. The final tally was ten wins and two losses in league play. Although losing both games at the county tournament, the Lake showed they had plenty of fight. Lervick was high point man of the “B” League with 132 points. Sanders, who was the captain of the team, was second with 100 points chalked up for him.

Although the Vikings did not fare so well in their ini' tial season, they proved that they will be serious contenders for honors next year. The following players were outstanding in the lineup: Jack Robinette, pitcher: Bus Thompson, catcher; Wayne Kinnce and Stan Sanders, infield; Norman Aasen and Kenneth Espeseth, outfield. The complete team was as follows: Norman Aasen Wayne Bettinger Kenneth Espeseth Charles Haight Wayne Kinnee Darrell Bushong Walter Smith Charles Bagley Victor Posey Stan Sanders Victor Soriede Bill Taylor Amil Thompson Buster Thompson Albert Anderson Ernest Taylor Harry Bond Jack Robinette Lloyd Anderson, Manager Season Baseball Scores Lake Stevens ........................ 2 Lake Stevens ........................ 3 Lake Stevens ........................ 1 Lake Stevens ......................... 3 Lake Stevens ........................ 5 Lake Stevens ......................... 4 Lake Stevens ......................... 6 Monroe ........................... 7 Marysville ....................... 7 Snohomish ........................ 5 Edmonds .......................... 9 Monroe ........................... 6 Snohomish ........................ 7 Everett ..........................10 A tournament was held this year to pick the school tennis team.

Several matches have been planned with schools throughout the county. This school can be truly proud of its athletes this year, because we won two championships and also entered teams in two new sports for the first time. The football and basketball boys wish to thank Dr. Allen for the many services that he has rendered to the boys and to the school in general. Congratulations to the following Seniors who helped make this a great sport year for Lake Stevens: Kenneth Blaine, Harry Bond, Harold Johnson, Harry Lervick, Stan Sanders, and Oril Wolf. JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL NEWS The Lake Stevens Junior High School basketball team had a very successful sea son considering that they were from the smallest school in their league. They won five games out of nine, scoring 202 points to their opponents’ 183. The squad started out with a bang, winning their first three games. (One of these games was with South Junior, the team that captured the league title.) As the season rolled on, the Junior Vikings went into a slump from which they recovered only in the last two games. Other teams in the league, such as South Junior and Mukilteo considered the Lake as the best team in the league. Mr. Clark, their coach, should receive a great deal of credit for developing a group of green but ambitious lads into fine young athletes. Those earning letters were: Edward Diehl, Kenneth Espeseth, Ernest Taylor, Wayne Bettinger, Bob Kinnee, Paul Ulrich, Art Ulrich, Raymond Anderson, and Harold Anderson. Ed Diehl was the high scorer for the season with 63 points. Jim Mitchell was second with 53.

Now this school is proud to have one of the best baseball d’amcnds in the county. On May 19, the Boys’ Club held the second smoker of the year. The evening’s entertainment consisted of eight events of boxing and wrestling. The main event was a boxing duel between Stan Sanders and Heizen from Everett. All contestants should be congratulated on their good sportsmanship. GIRLS’ CLUB DOROTHY JOLITZ.................................... President SHIRLEY MILLER................................Vice President VIVIAN ARMSTRONG...................................Secretary BEVERLY RASMUS ................................... Treasurer BETTY HANSEN ................................ Representative To music provided by an orchestra of five high school boys, the harvest hop, a hard time dance, was held October 21. The participants danced on a straw-strewn floor, though later the straw was swept into a corner where all newcomers were thor- oughly initiated before taking part in the gaiety of the evening. The dance, which was the first of the year, proved a very successful event. The second event of the year was an all-girl skating party, held at Arlington on December 13. The girls went up in a truck provided by one of the neighborhood boys. The party turned out to be a success with everybody enjoying themselves. In the all school review the Girls' Club was represented by a play, “Cinderella.” The cast, which proved to be of the giggling type, had a hard time keeping sober, but they struggled through to a good finish. The play was written by Juanamae Knight. A Christmas party was given in the Cafeteria on December 23. The afternoon was spent in dancing and playing games. Gifts were exchanged. Ice cream and cookies were served. Both a Thanksgiving and a Christmas basket were given to needy families by the Girls’ Club. On March 3, the Girls' Club program was given. Among the best acts were: “Margie Goes Modern,” “Red Riding Hood,” in verse, and “Carolina’s Auto Ride.” STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council started the year with Kenneth Blaine as chairman and Ila Johnson, secretary. The council is composed of the Student Body officers and one representative from each class and organization in the high school. The purpose of the organization is to discuss any questions of importance to the students and the Student Body. This year a committee endeavored to determine the powers of the council. The council also assisted in selecting next year's schedule of National Assembly programs. Plans are now being made to publish a handbook for students, giving informa' tion about courses, clubs, activities, and other general topics useful to a high school student. TORCH HONOR SOCIETY FRANK PARDEE ................................... President BOB KITTLESON ............................. Vice President HELEN GRINDE ......................... Secretary-Treasurer The Torch Honor Society is a national organization composed of pupils who maintain a high scholastic average throughout their high school career. One of the outstanding acts of the All School Revue was a one-act play, Three’s A Crowd,” presented by this club. The cast included: Lynn Cockburn, Helen Grinde, Vivian Armstrong, Bob Kittleson, and Bill Pardee.

This year marked a great increase in both the size of the paper and also in its circulation, which was boosted to one hundred and fifty copies. Members of the newswriting class made up the rest of the staff. At times, the paper had a rather stormy existence, with frequent changes in its personnel. LETTERMEN'S CLUB The first meeting of the Lettermen's Club was called to order October 12, 1938. The meeting was devoted largely to the election of officers. These elected were: Presi- dent, Harry Lervick; Vice President, Albert Anderson: Secretary-Treasurer, Clyde Akers. Gordon Loth was selected as our representative to the Student Council. The club had various activities throughout the year. The biggest success of the year was the Lettermen’s Club Smoker, which was financially worth while, as well as very entertaining. The new lettermen who were eligible for membership were: Dan Ruthford, Cliff Watters, George Hungar, Victor Posey, Harry Bond, Frank Jolitz, Jack Robinette, Harold Johnson, Wayne Kinnee, Dick Loop, and Lloyd Finley. LETTERWOMEN’S CLUB On September 26, 1938, all girls having over 1000 points in the Girls’ Athletic Association met and formed the Lake Stevens Letterwomen’s Club under the super- vision of Miss Johnson. The officers elected were: President, Verna Sebring; Secretary-Treasurer, Ila Johnson. The following girls have earned membership in this club: Ila Johnson, Helen Grinde, Helen Yonlick, Nina Nourse, Marie Lervick, Margaret Jensen, Laura More- house, Norma Mears, Marjorie Iten, and Verna Sebring. The girls entered the Snohomish County tennis league for the first time in the school’s history. Although they did not win very many matches, they gained much in experience and good sportsmanship. The team included: 1st singles, Verna Se- bring; 2nd singles, Eileen Prentice; doubles, Margaret Jensen, Marjorie Iten, and Laura Morehouse. ORCHESTRA The orchestra, directed by Miss Deva Parrott, accomplished much this year and performed at various public occasions. The growing interest in orchestra work was indicated by a substantial increase in membership. The orchestra took part in the dedication of the Lake Stevens Community Hall and also contributed with selections in the All-School Vaudeville. At the Music Festival this spring, the orchestra took an active part in the pro- gram. Orchestra members included: Allen Backstrom, Bert Backstrom, Hubert Carlson, Roy Grubb, Ida Hays, Charles Haight, Glenn Hedstrom, Bonnie Ruthford, Reino Watson, Charles McLennan, Bill Taylor, Bill Nelson, Bernice Withrow, Martha Jacobsen, Lillian Watkins, Cleon Plumley, and Iva Rider.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLIES The high school had several National Assembly Productions throughout the year. They were: Arthur Santell, America's Strongest Young Man: Foxwell, the Magi- cian; and the Swiss Yodelers. ALL SCHOOL VAUDEVILLE The entire Lake Stevens High School, breaking the Friday 13th jinx, combined its many classes and clubs to give a vaudeville which will long be remembered as the best program ever presented in our school. Mr. Clifford and the other teachers were complimented for excellent directng. The highlights of the program included the prelude “My Merry Oldsmohile: the Public Speaking class’s melodrama, ' West Lynne”; the Junior class’s “Madame How Can She”; Patsy Cooper's singing; the Sophomore class’s “Schoolroom”; and the Senior class’s Amateur” hour.
