Muala ■ cmov I CLASS HISTORY The class of forty-three, expectant and wondering what the future had in store for them, enrolled in the year 1939 with seventy students, the largest class to enroll in Lake Stevens High School. Upon entering their first year, the Freshman class elected as class officers Bill Kleisath, President; Frances Kleisath, Vice President; Iva Rider, Secretary; and Irene Wahl, Treasurer. Our class being so large, it was divided into three home rooms. The class advisers were Mrs. Lawrence, Mr. Clark, and Mr. Hedlund. The class sponsored several parties, one for the purpose of sending Iva Rider to school in Everett. Having completed one-fourth of the high school course we went into the Sopho- more year with enthusiasm and started off by electing class officers who were: Mar- tin Hagenston, President; Marilyn Prentice, Vice President; Frances Erickson, Secre- tary; and Calvin Prentice, Treasurer. The class showed their enthusiasm by spon- soring the traditional Freshman-Sophomore party early in the year. Many activity groups were honored by the presence of our class members. We had nine torch members and, as many students were interested in sports, three lettermen. Over half of the Drill Team was composed of Sophomores and Orchestra, Band, and Glee Club were favored by our presence. Immediately getting into the swing of things, we started the Junior year by choosing our officers as follows: Harry Davidson, President; Bill Kleisath, Vice President; Marcia Muzzall, Secretary; and Ray Phillips, Treasurer. Miss Fredrick and Mr. Bancroft were class advisers. Now, having activities well established, we came out with zeal and joined many clubs. Many again participated in sports and now we gained to six members in Lettermen's club and three in Lettergirls’. Torch was again favored by eight of the Junior class. Those attending the Student Leader's Conference in Seattle this year were Irene Wahl, Kathleen Taro, Marcia Muzzall, Frances Kleisath and Ida Hays. The main activity of the year was the Junior Prom” which was a great success. The theme of the Prom was an Hawaiian scene. Upon arrival each guest, bedecked with a lei, found himself amid a setting of flowers, tropical fish, and stars. On closer observation, one saw many palms and there was a grass hut under one. The at- mosphere was very unique and colorful. Bob Barbeaues’ Orchestra played. We are now upon the great moment of our high school career, graduation. This year we elected Bill Kleisath, President and class representative; Kathleen Taro, Vice President; and Marcia Muzzall, Secretary and Treasurer. Our advisers are Miss Nergaard and Mr. Temby. Welcoming four new members, Mariece Solberg, Nadine Schuster, Alta Red- man, and Iva Rider, who was formerly a member of our group, the enrollment is now forty-two students. President cf the Girls' Club is Nadine Schuster; Calvin Prentice is President of the Boys' Club. A highlight this year was the presentation of the Senior Play, “The Tin Hero”. The Senior Honor Roll, which is determined by averaging the student’s grades for the first seven semesters of high school work, in- cludes Ida Hays, Cleon Plumley, Iva Rider, Betty Swanson, Kathleen Taro, Barbara Tedford, and Irene Wahl. Rather than announcing the two highest honor students, the names of all those with a “B” average or better are given in alphabetical order, thereby allowing more students to share in the honors. 0 «u Tit� 7 Touqk cif H CUss C( JS - |lil ira Loo K Willies 6 CLASS WILL We, the class of 1943, of the Lake Stevens High School, County of Snohomish and State of Washington, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament.

SENIOR CLASSJ’ROPHECY I had been spinning merrily along in my Piper Cub having a grand time zoom- ing in and out of the clouds, when I noticed a storm was coming up, and I knew I would have to set her down as soon as I could find a field. I looked over the edge of my plane and lo and behold there was a field right below me. I radioed in and after receiving the okay, circled the field, slid into a bank, and went in for a landing. After I had landed and was struggling out of my parachute, I saw a mechanic hurry out of the hangar toward we. As he came nearer I got a better look at him and nearly dropped my 'chute. It was Jim Mosman. I got a better grip on my astonishment and hurried over to him. He was still as friendly as when I had last seen him and we talked for quite a while. We went into the hangar to see if we could squeeze “Little Lulu, my plane, into it somewhere. There were planes and mechanics all over the place and I was just about to walk by a battle-scarred B-17 when I heard my name called. I whirled around and there hanging upside down out of the bomb bay was Andy Jacobsen. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Oh well, way back when Andy was a senior in High he mechanized cars—. Presently our progress was blocked by a snappy looking little number. Jim told me, while I was vainly struggling to put my eyeballs back in my head, that it belonged to none other than Harry Davidson. Harry, Jim told me, was president of a big concern now and owned the big new 2,000 acre farm just the other side of the field. He said that Hilda Peterson was his private secretary and helps keep his books straight for him. We went back out on the field to bring my plane into the hangar. The roar- ing of motors caught our attention and we rolled our eyes skyward. A big TWA liner was coming in and we decided to stand by and watch it. It taxied right up in front of us. The stewardess opened the door so that the passengers could file out. Jim told me the stewardess on this liner was Marilyn Prentice. I moved closer to get a better look. Sure enough, it was. She was talking to someone, and out of idle curiosity I glanced at her. Again I was surprised! It was Kathleen Taro. I hurried over to the gate so that I could stop Kathleen as she went through. She told me she had finally achieved her goal and was employed as a chemist at one of the DuPont fac- tories, and that she had written and published several books. Also on the same plane was the great young football coach of Notre Dame, Harold, better known as Hap” Anderson. We talked for a while, and I found out that Alta Redman was one of the yell leaders at Northwestern and was the team's mascot. Notre Dame had a game scheduled with Northwestern for the fol- lowing week. I had the impulse to ask whether it was the game or Sunny that caused that gleam in his eye, but I squelched the desire hurriedly. Just then the pilot came toward me. I groped for my glasses so I could be sure of what I saw. Yes, it was Bill Kleisath! I was so busy gaping at the silver wings on his shoulder that I didn’t see the co-pilot walking toward our little group until Jim jabbed me in the ribs. Still somewhat dazed by the gleam of Kleisath's wings, I turned my head and saw Jim’s other half, Jack. Gee, it was really true—Jack Mosman, co-pilot! Boy, was the class of '43 ever doing itself proud! We ambled over to the administration building. A tall blonde girl was talking to a group of people trying to persuade them that Florida was better than Michigan to travel to because it was farther away. Ida Hays. I said hello and she smiled and pointed to a dark haired girl who was busy typing something that looked terribly familiar. The girl sitting looked up as she reached for a little bottle sitting beside her typewriter. I was delighted to see that it was Irene Wahl. Then I laughed for, after pushing my glasses up on my nose where I could see through them, I saw the familiar looking object she was typing was a stencil and the little bottle turned out to be the ever present correction fluid. Poor Irene! Even out of school she was still cutting stencils. It was almost her quitting time so I waited for her and we walked down town to the leading newspaper office. She had lost a stylus and wanted to insert an ad for it in the lost and found column. She told me all the latest news as we were sauntering along. Frances Erickson was the editor of “Glamour” magazine and was doing very well for herself. Calvin Prentice finally gave up his half of the noble Model A to his brother and had been persuaded by that super-salesman. Bob Nourse, to buy a slightly used Jeep. Don Gilbert had a radio master-mind quiz program on station LSHS on which Clyde Peterson was one of the master-minds. That just goes to show you never know how people are going to turn out. Loyal Watkins was the receptionist and private secretary to Bob Baber who happened to be president of the station. Ray Anderson had decided he wanted to inflict the misery he went through on someone else, so he was attending the University of Washington Dental School. By this time we had arrived at the newspaper office. As we opened the door an impressive sight met our eyes. People were hurrying here and there, noise every- where, but over the confusion rose a voice that could never be mistaken for anyone else than Bob Lund. It turned out that he was the Sports Editor of the renowned tabloid. A door at the far end of the room attracted my attention. As I moved toward it I saw marching across the glass in big bold letters the words—“Editor—Mern Hegge—Private . I bethought myself to go in and chew the fat with the old boy, but as I raised my hand to knock, the door burst open and out ran Iva Rider with the esteemed editor close on her heels. I stuck my foot out and caught Mr. Hegge on the up beat. As he looked a trifle dangerous to be near after that spill, I thought it best that I move on. In short, I took a powder. Irene inserted her ad and we ventured out into the city streets once more. As we passed the corner drugstore we decided we would like to quench our thirst with a coke or something. As we waited for some service, my companion scared me out of nearly a year's growth by shouting “LOOK” and thrusting a magazine under my nose. There on the cover was a picture of Cleon Plumley. Underneath it said “For more information turn to page 16”. We did, you may be sure. There was a long account of Cleon, stating that he was making his debut the 20th of next month and would go on tour immediately after so that everyone in the United States would have the opportunity to hear Cleon Plumley and his “Golden Strings . My companion and I decided we would like to go cut that night, and around 7:30 we started making the rounds to see what was cookin’. We dropped in at the Coconut Grove of this city. There on the platform was Betty Lou Kinney dishing out the boogie woogie as only she can dish it. We gathered by eavesdropping here and there that the music was by Betty Lou and her P-39’s. She called them that because they were a slick and smooth band with lots of soup. Betty Swanson was in her band too, pushing a mean bow across a defenseless cello. They were pretty smooth all right and I was about to fall asleep on my partner's shoulder when a voice sounding oddly like Berenice Withrow's was lifted in song. We decided to push on and see what else was doing. We walked sedately out of range of the music and up onto the sidewalk again. Across the street was the Civic Hall. There a gigantic sign announced that Frances Kleisath and her “March- ing Maids of which Beatrice Bcrgwall was the star performer, had found it possible to play this city after all, and would appear the following Saturday. I made a mental note of the coming performance and, in my usual scatter-brained way, started to step cut into the street without looking when a horn blared at me. I jumped out of the way just in time as a light blue convertible careened past me. I looked after the now quickly disappearing auto to see what the driver looked like and was shocked to see it was piloted by Marcia Muzzall. With her, and proudly waving a college diploma, was Mariece Solberg. Gee, she made it through college after all! A taxi slid to a stop at the curb; the door opened and out stepped Charlotte McLennan. Her hair was fixed as I had always known it, and it had made her famous. She was in Hollywood now and after a long hard struggle she was one of ten top stars. I watched her go by and saw that she was going to the premier performance of “Hot Tamalie” starring the love of the nation, Kathleen Kirby. My companion and I decided we would like to see that so we ventured in. We stood at the entrance and looked around to see if we could recognize anyone. We crawled over several people and finally I dropped into the seat beside Betty Cooper. We exchanged talk, and during the course of the evening I learned that she was very happy and that she and her hubby had moved into a cute little house in the city. I also learned that Eva Newman was P. E. instructor at the largest high school in the dty and certainly liked her job. I asked her if she knew what Nadine Schuster was doing now and she said that Nadine had a job with the Chrysler Corporation driving new cars so that they would be broken in by the time the customers received them. Sounded interesting to me. She said lone Sawyer was a model at Macy’s in New York City. Pretty good. Alyce Tastad was a demonstrator for Coty's cosmetics and traveled all over and was able to see a lot of country. I was also surprised to hear that Betty Logstrom was the private secretary for Cecil B. De Mille. As the evening was thinning out into dawn, and I was getting terribly tired, I told my companion to take me home. In the cab, we turned the radio on and got the rebroadcast of “The Woman’s Angle” by Dorothy McDaniel. So Dorothy was a woman commentator! She announced that Barbara Tedford was doing a wonderful job spreading good will all over South America. I remembered Barbara had a mar- velous knowledge of Latin, Spanish, and other languages. After Dorothy had signed off for the night, a man announced that an exclusive dress shop was opening in the near future, and for the women of the city to be sure and watch for the date. It was to be under the sole management of Eunice Pruehs. When I finally flopped into bed, I thought over all I had seen that day, and I had to admit as you will have to admit, that the Senior Class of 1943 turned out much better than anyone expected. JUNIORS The officers for the Junior Class were: President, Paul Ulrich; Vice President, Don Mosman; Secretary and Treasurer, Beverly Pellerin; and Class Representative, Paul Ulrich. The activities of the Junior Class were centered mostly around the annual Junior Prom which was held April 16 in the gymnasium. A spring setting furnished the very picturesque scene. A1 Swart; furnished the music. The class has also sponsored several after-game dances. The class decreased from 41 members in the Freshman year to 27 members in the Junior year. New members this year are Phyllis Schuster and Edward Best. SOPHOMORES The Sophomore Class was represented by fifty students. Officers elected for the class were: President, Allen Bartlett; Vice President, Charles Conrad; Secretary and Treasurer, Jo Ann Harshman; and Council Representative, Clifford Gantt. The entire class was under the supervision of Mr. Bancroft. The main event of the year was the traditional Freshman-Sophomore party spon- sored by the Sophomore class and held at the beginning of the year for the purpose of initiating and welcoming the Freshman into the Senior High School. FRESHMEN The Freshman activities were few in number this year because the class was divided among three Home Rooms: Home Economics, Agriculture and General Science. The Girls’ officers for the first semester were: President, Barbara Ness; Vice President, Norma Crossland; Secretary, Pat Davidson; and Treasurer, Nancy Manning. Second semester: President, Norma Crossland; Vice President, Nancy Manning; Secretary, Barbara Ness, and Treasurer, Barbara Dana. Officers for the smaller Boys’ Group were: President, Don Hallanger; Vice President, John Cock- burn; Secretary and Treasurer, Kenneth Williams. The larger Boys’ Group elected no officers, as the F. F. A. activities proved enough. The Junior Beacon was edited for the third year by the Freshman Class. Officers were: Editor, John Cockburn; Assistant Editor, Barbara Ness; Business Manager, Pat Davidson. The remaining members of the class acted as reporters. The Girls’ Home Room held a Christmas and a Valentine party. The Girls also sponsored an after-school dance. A good time was reported by all. man. plenum c . A CTIVITIES MUSIC DEPARTMENT All music groups this year were under the leadership of Mrs. Godfrey. In spite of the fact that they suffered curtailment due to conflicts in curricula, concentra- tion on “all out” education, the loss of many graduating seniors and students to war industries, the small groups have worked diligently and with enthusiasm. The first musical event of the year was a patriotic assembly presented by the band, orchestra, chorus, girls’ glee and girls’ trio. The student body responded enthusi- astically and everyone joined in singing patriotic songs at the close of the program. The high light in the year was the Christmas program. The combined band and orchestra opened the program with a Christmas overture. Cleon Plumley, violinist, played Schubert’s Ave Maria.” A musical dramatization of the origin of the hymn “Silent Night” was quite effective with the organ accompaniment to the choir music, while the “stained glass window and candle light added atmosphere. The annual spring concert was the most important musical event. The band, small but spirited, opened the program. The orchestra played “Victor Herbert Favorites” and Schubert’s March Militaire.” The setting of sacred numbers was presented by the mixed chorus, accompanied by Betty Lou Kinney at the organ. The chorus, girls' glee and boys’ glee gave several other selections. Vocal and instru- mental ensembles made the program interesting and enjoyable. Many of the students in all music groups participated in the Snohomish County Music Festival. Most inspiring was the whole-hearted cooperation the music students expressed to their leader and each other throughout the school year. Those graduating from chorus are: Betty Lou Kinney, Marilyn Prentice, Berenice Withrow and Jack Mosman. Those graduating from band are: Harry Davidson, Bob Lund, Mern Hegge, Carol Fredrickson and Anders Jacobson. Those graduating from orchestra are: Kathleen Taro, Ida Hays, Harry Davidson and Betty Lou Kinney. Drill Team, Majorettes, Yell Leaders, and Athletic Clubs The Lake Stevens High School was proud of their Drill Team this year, although they only performed for two school games, Marysville and Granite Falls. The big event took place at the Snohomish County Basketball Tournament, where the girls appeared in their smart new uniforms of gold satin trimmed with blue. The Drill Team is under the supervision of Mr. Clifford and Captain Frances Klcisath. The members of the group this year and the number of years they have served are as follows: Captain Frances Kleisath (4), Lieutenant Marilyn Prentice (4), Irene Wahl (4), Dorothy McDaniel (4), Frances Erickson (4), Ida Hays (4), Charlotte McLennan (3), Beatrice Bergwall (3), Berenice Withrow (3). All these girls are graduating seniors. Those who will remain for next year are: Lois Colton (3), Winifred Armstrong (2), Mildred Jolitz (2), Dorothy Welborn (2), Jo Ann Harshman (2), Lois Kinney (2), Margaret Hebert (2) and Bonnie Watters as substitute. The majorette team was composed of Evelyn Thompson, Jacqueline Bushong and Mona Anderson. The girls gave wonderful performances at two home games, Marysville and Granite Falls. Bedecked in their new blue and gold uniforms, they also gave an unforgetable exhibition of twirling at the Snohomish County Tournament. The high school was fortunate in having such a striking combination as Sunny Redman and Betty Lou Kinney as yell leaders this year. Betty and Sunny, both seniors, have led the school in yells at basketball and football games in a most ingenious and peppy manner. Their costumes were dark blue corduoy with gold satin trimming. The Vi-queens is an organization composed of the athletic girls of Lake Stevens High School. Any girl who has earned enough points to receive a numeral or letter is eligible for membership. Points may be earned through participation in various athletic activities of the school. Graduating members who have received letters are: Ida Hays, Eva Newman, Beatrice Bergwall and Kathleen Taro. Those who have earned numerals are: Marilyn Prentice, Frances Erickson, lone Sawyer, Hilda Peterson and Frances Kleisath. The Letterman's Club was another club which was put on the inactive list this year. The old lettermen were: Harold Anderson, Harry Davidson, Bill Kleisath, Bob Lund, Jack Mosman, Jim Mosman, Merne Hegge, Gordon Lundquist, Don Mosman, Gordon Hungar, Paul Ulrich and David Schwartzmiller, the first seven named being seniors. The new members admitted to the club were: Clifford Gantt, Jack Sahlbom and Albert Dearie in football. Calvin Prentice was admitted via basketball. The same seven who earned letters last year received them for this season too.

Mrs. Goodyear, Ida Hays, was a flighty sort of person who possessed a great imagination. She received a letter from her son Douglas, Mern Hegge, telling her that he had saved a French girl from drowning at Cannes, France. Immediately she called the Morning Herald office and summoned the reporter, Victoria Esmond, Alta Redmond, and told her a glorious tale of bravery, adventure, and marvelous swimming ability, which article appeared on the front page of the paper the next morning. Now Grace Goodyear, the daughter, Kathleen Kirby, didn’t think all this publicity was a good idea, because she didn't know whether Douglas could swim or not. Her talkative boy friend, Bunny Wheeler, Donald Gilbert, knew he couldn't, and proceeded to broadcast this choice bit of information all over town. One of the first ears to receive the news were those of Mrs. Baxter Warner, Marcia Muzzall. Since her submissive husband, Harry Davidson, was president of the Hero’s Club, and Doug’s mother told them her son should belong, Mrs. Warner began “inquiring” and decided that Douglas should enter a contest against that champion swimmer, Spike Ryder, Bob Lund. Now, of course, when Douglas arrived home he was quite the hero, a fact which dismayed his girl friend, Virginia Ferguson, Irene Wahl. She was quite worried about the attention paid him by Annette Cover- dale, Kathleen Taro, the only female member of the Hero's Club, and Adelaide Young, Charlotte McLennan, who seemed especially fond of the hero. But most of all Virginia was worried about Claudette Bordonie, Iva Rider, the French girl Doug had saved from drowning. Finally, after many entanglements, including the arrival of the glamorous Claudette from France, Douglas proved that he could swim, for he lived, ate, and breathed swim- ming for two long weeks under a competent instructor. So, in the end, matters were straightened out and the hero proved his worth, found himself once again in the good graces of Virginia, and was admitted to the Hero’s Club. ATHLETICS I (I « 0 BASKETBALL Despite losing last year's entire championship five, four by graduation, and one man quitting school, the Vikings managed to take second place in the B League. Due to gas rationing, no “B” League schedule was drawn up this year. Instead, each school rounded up its own games. To determine which three B” League schools should participate in the annual County Tournament at Snohomish, a “B League Tournament was held at Arling- ton. Lake Stevens won two thrillers at Arlington, one from Arlington’s “B” team and the other from the Skyrockets from Skykomish. These two wins earned them a spot in the finals against Sultan. Sultan eked out a close 37 to 30 victory and thus ended the Vikings' string of B League championships at four straight. The Vikings dropped a wild game to Edmonds their first night at Snohomish and were eliminated two nights later by Monroe. This year’s squad was composed entirely of Juniors and Seniors. It was the first time in several years that at least one Sophomore failed to break into the first ten. Paul Ulrich, Harold Anderson, Harry Davidson, Gordon Lundquist, Gordon Hungar, Don Mosman and Mern Hegge formed the first seven, with Clarence Chick, Ray- mond Anderson and Calvin Prentice rounding out the full first ten. The Vikings won eight games and lost eleven this year and ran up a total of 651 points to 713 for their opponents, or an average of 34! points per game or 37! - for their opponents. Two of the Viking victories were clean-cut decisions over their old rivals from Granite Falls. Next year's squad will be minus the services of Harold Anderson, Harry David- son, Mern Hegge, Calvin Prentice and Raymond Anderson. These boys all graduate, but others may be drafted into the armed forces before another basketball seasons rolls around. Contrary to other years, there was no one individual on this year’s team that was consistently high point man. FOOTBALL This year’s football season was somewhat of a disappointment. Not only did the team lose more games than it won, but the Vikings didn’t play Granite Falls, due to the Tigers not having enough players for an eleven-man team. Anticipation of this struggle with our neighbor rival usually serves to pep the boys up, but this year they didn’t have this game to look forward to. All of the games were close, and if there had been enough boys turning out to give the first team some competition, the Vikings might have won more games. Graduating seniors this year are: Anderson, left end; Captain Davidson, left tackle; Lund, left guard; Jim Mosman, right tackle; Jack Mosman, quarterback, and Kleisath, halfback.
