Text from Pages 1 - 68 of the 1941 volume:

I I I ■ £.(0 FOREWORD This annual produced by the Seniors of 1941 contains a record of events for the past year. We hope that the facts, pictures and humor make you relive your happy school days. We leave this, our final achieve- ment in our high school career to those who will receive enjoyment from it in later years. THIS ANNUAL MADE BY LEO'S STUDIO - UNIVERSITY PLACE - SPOKANE DEDICATION We, the class of 1941, dedicate this Annual to Miss Laura Frederick and Mr. Clyde Bancroft, our reliable and capable advisers during our Junior year. We also wish to thank them for their untiring efforts in making our Junior year successful and interesting. IN MEMORIAM Frederick W. Tisdale, born March 27, 1890, lived a life rich with experiences in the service of helping others and serving his community; he was called from this service on October I I, 1940. After receiving his educational and professional train- ing at Hamlin University, he later entered the teaching profession in the state of Washington. This work gave Mr. Tisdale an opportunity to serve in various capacities in a number of communities. His work in the teaching profession and his leadership in the Washington Education Association won for him many friends throughout the entire state. As superintendent of the Lake Stevens Schools from 1921 to 1929, Mr. Tisdale accomplished the greatest achievement of his career. In those eight years of ceaseless labor and planning with no thought of sacrifice to himself, he brought the Lake Stevens Schools from a veritable wilderness to the main highway of modern education. The young people who passed under his guidance and supervision during that period, will long cherish his memory.

A few weeks later both tricycles were finished and painted red and orange respectively. We then decided to drive down town and show the folks our new invention. When we entered town everyone greeted us and admired our vehicles. Why! even that great dancer of the opera ballet, Mr. Victor Soreide, was there. We started up Main Street and stopped at Karloff Theatre, under the man- agement of Buster (Karloff) Thompson. Since his debut in Tough Guy No. I, he claims he is Boris Karloff's brother, but we know better. Next to the theatre is a lovely dress shop that is run by the four seamstresses: Don Jubb, Gordon Rux, Forrest Hisey, and Lawrence Cooper. Exquisite fashions they produce, for sale to debutantes such as Lorraine Madsen, Lois Jubb, Elsie Jensen and Marcelyn Tupper, who are also extra's at Karloff Theatre. Dale Warren, the newsboy, just went by yelling the headlines: Phyllis Seely, Former Lake Stevens Girl, Breaks Scholastic Record for Gonzaga U. Hearing this news gave us a proud feeling but as we neared the Couny Jail all feeling of pride vanished, as we learned that Darrell Bushong and Roberta Johnson had been arrested for driving too slow. They were under the careful observation of the Chief of Police, Franklin Phillips, who was strutting around showing his authority. All of a sudden we heard a drum beat and down the street came those famous Chorus girls: Jean Dake, Shirley Harshman, Virginia Nolan, Alice and Martha Jacobsen and their leader, Lillian Lervick. After a fine display of talent we proceeded up the street and honked at the Dan Ruthford Law Corps., when who should run out to greet us but Mr. Ruthford's most efficient secretary, Lillian Watkins. We talked with her awhile and also with Harvey Moyer, who has been promoted to chief of the street sweepers. All of a sudden a huge Packard came whizzing down the street bearing the Prime Minister Don Melchoir and his wife, Marion Maltsberger. Hot on their trail was Melba McDaniel, the No. I Detective, in her sputtering Deluxe Model T. She was after the Prime Minister's wife who had just committed the perfect crime of stealing a toy watch. After so much excitement and riding around, we found it necessary to get a cold drink. So we went in a nearby soda fountain. Betty Colton served us some nice cold sodas and we saw Margaret Hanson, the chief cook and bottle washer and Lorraine Lund at the bakery counter sampling all the goodies. With her mouth full of cookies Lorraine told us about Herb Schwarzmiller getting his degree in baton twirling at the Cornish School of Arts. CLASS PROPHECY—Continued As we went further down the street a great big neon sign loomed up ahead of us, Dancing School, Instructor, Betty Hansen. Next to the Dancing School is the Daily Nessica Office, where our daily paper is edited by Dan Ness. We didn't feel much like hanging around a news office so we backed up our vehicles and started up a side street, only to see the Governor, Don Honeycutt and his wife, Frances Meyer, riding on their burros. Well, this was enough of the bustle of city life so we proceeded out to the Athletic Field where a football game was in progress between Notre Dame and Yale. At the pitching position was Louise Huddle and Helen Yonlick was the forward, both doing wonderful work and scoi g all of the touchdowns. In the grandstands sat Brigadier General William Noah Granger viewing the game, and looking for pros- pects for the army. As my corns were hurting me terrifically, after such a strenuous day of riding, I decided home would be my only Haven of Rest. On my way home, Frank Jolitz insisted that I race him home. He was so proud of his Kiddie Car his dad bought him that I could not refuse him. Somehow his auto could not survive so he was left in the dust. Ah, now, is there any doubt in your minds now that the Senior Class of 1941 turned out better than could be expected? 3 CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1938 we entered the doors of Lake Stevens High School. Every- thing was exciting to us because we were beginning an important part of our lives. 9 9 9 Our first year we selected as our leaders: Frances Meyer, President: Helen Yon- lick, Vice President: Betty Hansen, Secretary. Miss Myrtle Johnson was our class adviser. Louise Huddle was welcomed into our class. She entered from South Junior High in Everett. During the year, the class sponsored a snow climb up to Lake 22 and also a spring picnic at Verlot. 9 9 9 Our Sophomore year we chose as our leaders: Betty Hansen, President; Jim Swaney, Vice President; Earleen Taylor, Secretary and Treasurer. Helen Yonlick was chosen to represent our class in the student council. Miss Deva Parrot was our class adviser. Nine pupils of our class were in the Torch Honor Society. Donald and Lois Jubb came here from Everett, Washington. Frank Jolitz, Wayne Kinnee, and Dan Ruthford were admitted to the Letter- men's Club. Helen Yonlick became a member of the newly formed Lettergirl's Club. 9 9 9 Our Junior year was a big one! We elected as our class officers: Harvey Moyer, President; Dan Ruthford, Vice President; Betty Colton, Secretary. Betty Hanson was our representative in council. New members of our class were Betty Colton, who was from California, and Marguerite Becker, who came from Entiat, Washington. This year our class was divided into two groups called Home Rooms. Our class advisers were Miss Laura Frederick and Mr. Bancroft. The biggest event of all the year was our Junior Prom. The future of Junior Proms depended upon us, so we put forth all our effort to make the Prom a success. CLASS HISTORY—Continued The decoration committee decided upon an Alaskan scene. The theme was carried out by having mountains, trees, totem poles, penguins, igloos, and last but not least, an ice cave. It was truly an Alaskan atmosphere that the patrons stepped into that night. Rowell Paine's orchestra furnished the music. The Prom was a suc- cess, socially and financially, for which we are justly proud. Now we find ourselves ready to graduate. For our final class officers we have Dan Ruthford, President: Harvey Moyer, Vice President; Marion Maltsberger, Secre- tary-Treasurer; and Frances Meyer, Representative. Those who took part in the Senior Play were: Gordon Rux, Betty Colton, Don Honeycutt, Helen Yonlick, Melba McDaniel, Vic Soreide, Franklin Phillips, Marion Maltsberger, Frances Meyer, Louise Huddle, Betty Hansen, Harvey Moyer, Margaret Hanson and Walter Smith. Six members of the Senior Class received three-bar torch pins. About twenty Seniors participated in the Vodvil. Helen Yonlick was chosen as the editor of the Pilchuck and Don Honeycutt as the business manager. Dan Ness was chosen as editor of the Flashlight.

The class officers are as follows: President, Bonnie Ruthford; Vice President, Wayne Bettinger; and Secre- tary-Treasurer, Shirley Armstrong. The home room was divided into two groups. The one was under the direction of Miss Frederick and the other, under Mr. Bancroft. Both groups learned to dance during the home room period. The Junior Prom of 1941 came off on March 21st with Harry Dunbar's orchestra furnishing the music. The theme of the prom was a Dutch scene. The Juniors have also sponsored a number of dances which were held after games. These dances turned out to be beneficial. SOPHOMORES The Sophomore Class of 1941 consisted of about fifty students. The officers elected were: Martin Hagenston, President; Marilyn Prentice. Vice President; Frances Erickson, Secretary; and Calvin Prentice, Treasurer. In activity periods every Monday and Wednesday the class was divided into two groups. The group A-M meeting with Mr. Martina and the group N-Z met with Miss Sylliaasen. The Sophomores gave a few parties this year. The most outstanding was the Freshman-Sophomore party. The Sophomore class is also represented very well in the Torch Honor Society. FRESHMEN Election of officers took place. Beverly Pellerin, President; Don Mosman, Vice President; Winifred Armstrong, Secretary. The Class was divided into three sections. Miss Padden, Mr. Clark and Mr. Hed- lund were in charge of the groups. Each group had to work up some program to give for an assembly. Among its rather limited activities, one of the most outstanding was a spooky Hallowe'en Party, held in Huess's barn. ICS « MUSIC ORGANIZATIONS Another successful year for the band is passed. Although the band was not as experienced as last years, it was very good. The only real difficulty which Mr. Clifford had to overcome was the fact that his three best solo trumpeters, Dan Ruthford, Kenny Espeseth, and Jim Mitchell, turned out for sports. However, Mr. Clifford remedied this by using Newell Dana, a former trumpeter, and Harry Davidson, a first trumpeter. Although the band has many up and coming players, it will feel the loss of such members as Betty Hansen, Lillian Lervick, Louise Huddle, Dan Ruthford, Don Melchoir, Harvey Moyer, Gordon Rux and Herbert Schwarzmiller. This year a new performing group was organized under the direction of Miss Sylliaasen. It is a string ensemble consisting of seven violins played by Cleon Plum- ley, Bonnie Ruthford, Helen Yonlick, Margaret Melchoir, Phyllis Dobyns, Ethel Wilbur and Billie Peterson; with piano accompaniment by Melba McDaniel and Alice Lun- deen. This group was started to fill the need for an informal performing group and plays arrangements of chamber and semi-classical music. Their initial appearance was for a P.-T. A. program, followed by performances for the Community Bazaar and the Spring Concert. The orchestra under the direction of Miss Sylliaasen has had a very active year performing for the Grange Bazaar, Senior Play, Senior High Vodvil, Junior High Re- view, School Assemblies, Commencement and the Annual Spring Music Concert. Of interest to all orchestra members are the new school-owned double bass played by Frances Kleisath, and the new glockenspiel played by Alice Lundeen. These and other additions including a baritone horn and a flute help to make the orchestra proud of its growth and improvement. The Glee Clubs were under the direction of Miss Sylliaasen. The Girls' Glee had perhaps a better glee club than they have had for quite a few years. They had a fine collection of semi-classical songs such as: Indian Love Call, Desert Song” and many other well known songs. They performed for the Christmas program, Activity programs and climaxed their year by participating in the Concert. Boys' Glee was a noticeable improvement over past years also. In their collection of well known music were the songs, I Love a Parade and Riff Song, also some Negro Spirituals. They put on a grand performance for the Spring Concert. Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs combined, formed the Chorus. Their major per- formance being the Spring Concert where they sang a novelty arrangement called The Band; a Negro spiritual, Water Boy; and a sacred song, Beautiful Savior. Drill, Yell Leaders, Majorettes, and Athletic Clubs specialty, received some private coaching from Scotty MacDonald of the University of Washington. The members of the Lake Stevens drill team were: Frances Kleisath, Captain: Frances Erickson, Ida Hayes, Martha Jacobsen, Joy Swaney, Bonnie Watters, Beatrice Bergwall, Winnie Armstrong, Alice Jacobsen, Bernice Withrow, Ellen Ayres, Dorothy McDaniel, Lois Colton, Irene Wahl, Gladys Akers. Marilyn Prentice and Shirley Arm- strong, were Lieutenants. Charlotte McLennan and Lillian Lervick were substitutes. The drill team marched for the following games: Stanwood, East Stanwood and Skykomish. The girls also marched at one of the tournament games and the Sno- homish County Festival. Officers for the Lettergirls' Club are: Louise Huddle, President; Elsie Jensen, Secretary-Treasurer; Lillian Lervick, Vice President. Presiding at yell-leading this year were three Juniors: Helen Williams, Edwin Florer, and Gwen Balmer. They presented a fine display of good school spirit throughout the entire year. They all attended the Student Leaders' Conference at Snohomish and as a � Lake Stevens High School is proud of its three Majorettes: Doney Balmer, Joy Mathias and Jacqueline Bushong for their outstanding performances given through- out the year. Doney Balmer worked up the routine and taught Joy and Jackie to twirl. Officers for the Lettermen's Club are: Darrel Bushong, President; Kenneth Espe- seth, Vice President; Victor Soreide, Secretary; Jim Mitchell, Council Representative.

Mr. Mol- lestad is the Commercial teacher. These three classes formed a club under Mr. Hunt's supervision, called the Com- mercial Club to discuss office routine and things pertaining to the commercial life. A few club members put on a very interesting skit for the spring Vodvil. The theme of the skit was the procedure of an eighteenth-century office where no one knew just what to do when the boss was away. Characters were as follows: The Clutching Claw (?); Harvey Moyer as George Gordon: Margaret Hanson, Agatha Hayden: Melba McDaniel, Newspaper Woman; Darrel Bushong, Officer Hand; Don Honeycutt, Jerome Hayden; Betty Colton, Patricia Thorton; Helen Yonlick, Sally Bland; Frances Meyer, Sada Sewell; Betty Hansen, Mrs. Midgley (housekeeper): Gordon Rux, Mr. John Thorton; Marion Maltsberger, Madame Lanezki; Walter Smith, Officer Donnelly; Louise Huddle, Peggy Boland; Victor Soreide, Officer Murphy; Franklin Phillips, Clauson (the butler). The scene took place in the Thorton Mansion. Miss Patricia Thorton was giving a formal party to announce her engagement to Mr. Jerome Hayden. Through some mysterious plotting, Mr. John Thorton was killed and the housekeeper was seriously wounded. Everything worked up to a dramatic climax. The play was directed by Miss Johnston. After the evening performance the cast enjoyed a party given by Miss Johnston. FOOTBALL Being handicapped with numerous injuries and an inexperienced squad, the Vik- ings ended their season tied for second place with Stanwood. Because of their in- experience, the Vikings started slowly. Before the season was over, however, the Vikings were rolling well, scoring 60 points in their last two games. The season's scor- ing was 79 for the Vikings and 45 for their opponents—a margin of 34 points. Jim Mitchell, Bill Kleisath, and Frank Joli+z were seriously injured along with numerous other smaller injuries of other players, thus handicapping the Vikings. The Vikings succeeded in downing the favorites for the B league champion- ship, East Stanwood, by the very decisive score of 33-14. In the Armistice Day game with our friendly rivals, Granite Falls, the Vikings decisively won the battle, 27-0. Lake Stevens loses seven players, but a favorable team will return for next year. Those receiving letters were: Buster Thompson, End . '41 Kenneth Espeseth, H.B. ....'42 Victor Soreide, Guard '41 Jim Mitchell, H.B. Frank Jolitz, F.B., Captain ... '41 Wayne Bettinger, Center '4?

'43 BASKETBALL The Lake Stevens Basketball team can well be proud of the record they made this season. They lost only one league game and that was to Skykomish, by one point. In the tournament the first night, the Vikings defeated the Snohomish Panthers by a score of 43-38. This was a great honor as the Panthers only had one defeat. The game with East Stanwood and Marysville proved to be fatal. Espeseth was out- standing most of the season while Ruthford and Ness showed up very well. At the tournament, the total score of points for the team was 116 and 121 for the op- ponents. During the three years the class of 41 has been in high school, there have been three basketball championships won, which is certainly an honor for any class. The team will miss the services of Darrel Bushong, Dan Ness and Dan Ruthford next year. A lot of honor goes to Coach A. T. Dan Ness Dan Ruthford Darrel Bushong Jim Mitchell Kenneth Espeseth Wayne Bettinger Harvey Moyer, Manager Martina and the team, which consists of: Arthur Ulrick Martin Hagenston Bob Lund Dick Murdock Harold Anderson Ray Iten Walter Smith, Asst. Manager BASEBALL AND TENNIS The senior high school baseball team did quite well this year showing other teams some hard competition. The team consisted of Buster Thompson, catcher; and Bob Hebert and Kenneth Espeseth sharing honors in pitching; Wayne Bettinger, Art Ma- leus, Darrel Bushong, Bill Kleisath, Victor Soreide, Jim Mitchell, Bob Lund, Ray Iten, Harold Anderson, Clarence Chick, and Gordon Hunger. Incidentally, they won a 5 to I victory over their friendly rivals, Granite Falls. Tennis was an active sport this year. Lake Stevens’ racketeers participated in a tournament with other schools of the county. Calvin Prentice and Clarence Dionne played on first singles and Duane Healy on second singles. Merne Hegge and Cleon Plumely played first doubles. The graduating seniors wish to express their feelings for Coach Martina. His outstanding coaching and companionship with them in their years in athletics will never be forgotten. We wish him all the luck in putting out more championship teams in the future. 9 9 9 JUNIOR HIGH SPORTS The Junior high basketball team lacked experience, and won only one of their six games. The last game was with Snohomish, this proved to be the best game of the season. The players all worked to beat the champions 20-19. The freshmen turned out with the high school, and all had a chance to play on the second team as substi- tutes. The team for next year will not have much height or experience but can move quickly, so they hope to go further in the tournament than they have in previous years. Junior High baseball team started their year with a win, playing the Edmonds team and winning by a score of 24-3. The team was a considerable improvement over last year. The junior high school athletes wish to commend Mr. Clark for standing by them this past season both in defeat and victory. CLASS OF 1940 NORMAN AASEN ...... CLYDE AKERS ....... ALBERT ANDERSON...
