Pilch u c k 19 4 4 Published by The Senior Class Lake Stevens High School Lake Stevens, Washington I Foreword (T'VS O We, the staff of the 1944 Pilchuck have done our best to present in an accurate and interesting way the events of the past year. That this edition of the 1944 Pilchuck will be a source of pleasant memories in the future is our sin- cerest hope. Dedication We, the staff, dedicate this 1944 edition of the Pilchuck to Mrs. H. Bryan Johnson, the senior adviser. The pupils never knew how to show their apprecia- tion for her kindly tolerance of our shortcomings and misdeeds. She has been of great help to us these past years in everything we have attempted. By dedicating this edition to Mrs. Johnson we are endeavoring to show what she and her contributions have meant to us. 3 In Memoriam (TV S To the memory of Dr. O. R. Allen, friend, coun- selor, and physician of several generations of Lake Stevens High students, we publish this 1944 edition of the Pilchuck. 5 Table of Contents I. Foreword 3. Dedication 5.

The first to go was Clarence Chicle, who enlisted in the Navy and a few months later was assigned to a ship. A short while later Don Mosman was accepted by the Army Air Corps and is now well on his way to becoming a pilot. And last but not least was John Hisey, who joined the Army. These boys have kept the class well posted on their whereabouts and activities. Clarence has been home several times and John has been home once. They visited the class and entertained it by relating many experiences, both humorous and educational. Don has not been able to be home yet. Three boys received full credits and diplomas but were unable to take part in the graduation exercises. These were Don Brooks who en- listed in the Navy; David Schwarzmiller, also in the Navy; and Albert Dearie of the Army. The Senior Class is well represented by boys in almost every branch of the service and we salute them for the fine job they are doing! Dave Schwarzmiller came home on leave near the end of school and was able to attend Baccalaureate but had to return before Commence- ment. Tom Wojcik, who graduated at the half, was unable to attend any of the graduation exercises. 14 Class History crv o In the fall of 1940, we, the class of 44, enrolled in the freshman class with about forty-five students. Our class officers the first year were President, Beverly Pellerin; Vice- President, Don Mosman; Secretary-Treasurer, Winnie Armstrong. We were divided into three home rooms with Miss Padden, Mr. Clark, and Mr. Hedlund as our advisers. During the year we sponsored several skating parties and held a Hallowe'en party in Huess's barn. Many of our class turned out for sports. Having completed our freshman year, we were truly in Senior High and entered into all the school activities. We were well represented in Torch with fourteen members. Also in Band, Drill Team, Majorettes, Flash- light, and Pep Club. Bonnie Watters was yell leader with Lois Van Ider- stine. Five boys: Gordon Hungar, Gordon Lundquist, David Schwarz- miller, Paul Ulrich, and Don Mosman became lettermen. Seven girls: Colleen Anderson, Lois Colton, June Newman, Bonnie Watters, Muriel Thompson, Beverly Pellerin, and Charleen Jolitz became Vi-Queens. Our Sophomore class officers were President, Wayne Prentice; Secretary- Treasurer, Bonnie Watters; Council Representative, Paul Ulrich. Our class advisers were Miss Helwig and Mr. Martina. Our class entered into all the All School Play with The Shooting of Dan McGrew and gave the annual Freshman-Sophomore party. Bob Gordon joined us this year. By the time we became juniors our class had decreased in size to 27 students. Nevertheless we still took an active part in school activities. Our officers were Paul Ulrich, President; Don Mosman, Vice-President; Beverly Pellerin, Secretary-Treasurer; and Paul Ulrich was again our Class Representative. Mrs. Johnson was our class adviser. The Junior Prom, which was a great success, was the highlight of the year. The gymnasium was a beautifully decorated spring scene. Al Swartz furnished the music. Three more boys, Albert Dearie, Clarence Chick, and Jack Salhbom, be- came lettermen from our class. We again entered the All School Play with And the Villian Still Pursued Her. We sponsored many of the after-game dances. Phyllis Schuster entered from Dayton, Washington, and Bessie Gallaher from Seattle. Near the end of the year Jack and Jim Salhbom left us to join the marines. Upon entering the last year of our high school career we elected Donald Brooks, President; Wayne Prentice, Vice-President; Paul Ulrich, Secretary-Treasurer, and David Schwarzmiller, Council Representative. Mrs. Johnson was again our Class Adviser. Lois Colton was elected Pil- 15 chuck editor, and Colleen Anderson, Flashlight editor. Bonnie Watters was Girls Club President and Drill Team Leader and Paul Ulrich was Boys Club President. Gordon Hungar was Student Body President for the year. Our big event of the year was the Senior Play, Sing a Song of Sixteen. New Lettermen this year were Gilbert Makus, Bob Gordon, Clayton Wagner, Wayne Prentice, thus making twelve Lettermen alto- gether from our class. Lois Colton, Tom Wojcik and Lois Kinnie were our yell leaders. Our two new students this year were Betty Stevens and Tom Wojcik. Clarence Chick, Don Mosman, and John Hisey left us at the beginning of the year for Uncle Sam's Armed Forces. Don Brooks, David Schwarzmiller, Tom Wojcik, Albert Dearie, and Ray Byers graduat- ed at mid-semester and also went into the service of our country. Class Prophecy Place-Space. Time-Plenty of time, most of the time, over time, any time, some time, about that time, all the time, and every time except this time. Listen my children and you shall hear Of the tragic story of the class this year 'Tis the spring of April in 25 And only I am left alive, Who can tell of this famous date and year. The mode of travel may seem obsolete But in those days rocket ships couldn’t be beat. The destination is the moon And soon we'll be gone To have our hair curled In Wagner's salon. And sitting there so sweet and pure, Waiting for a sucker to manicure, Is Charleen, the blonde, who works with zest But only to service men does she give her best. Across the street from the salon next door Tom Wojcik propriets his own feed store. Gordon Hungar is there buying feed for his horse Since the O. P. A. cut his gas off at the source. The horse is ragged, his ribs stick out That he'll ride Gordy home, is beyond a doubt. Down two blocks and to the right A brand new business has sprung up over night In a dance academy is a brand new step Taught by Dearie, to make you hep. And down the road with eight kids about Comes Lois Colton on her paper route. Coming down a hill Colleen Anderson passes me by In a mounted police uniform that catches your eye. She joined the force to get all she can, For she heard that the mounties always get their man. Across the street and into our car, We'll now take a trip to a planet afar. The planet Pluto is our first stop, So don't relax because it's only a short hop. 19 Quick, grab the stick and give her a twist. Whew! that one arm driver, Gordon Lundquist. We zip to a parking place, screech to a stop. We're cordially greeted by Bonnie, the Belle Hop. Outside the building we see a Ford. Tis Schwarzmiller at the Rationing Board. The car is worn out; the tires are thin, Chewing gum patches hold the inner tubes in. Then a flash races past the local tailors. Why look! It's Phyllis chasing three sailors. She’s in the lead but to her grievens. She's being rapidly gained on by Betty Stevens. We want to journey to the country But there is no one to take us. When up pulls a taxicab guided by Gil Makus. As we reach the country, a loud explosion we hear. Fear not, says Gilbert, that's Byres slaying deer. But being in a hurry we look at our list. Next is Bob Gordon, the famous Neckerologist. But as we are going to another planet soon, We leave Bob and his girl gazing at the moon. Since on Pluto they are rationing candy bars, We'll see if they sell them on the planet Mars. And since we're hungry and our trip was long, We stop at a hash-joint run by Winnie Armstrong. In the joint, working as one of the cooks, Emptying bottles, is our own Don Brooks. We'll race back to earth for one last glimpse Of that class of 44, a bunch of simps. But through these days of bitter strife, Beverly Pellerin still remains a housewife. As we step from our ship We hear a cry inhuman. 'Tis the leap year call Of our class mate June Newman. The only place from earth to the sun To buy root beer is from Louie Peterson. Louie is the dealer and a front for the rest, For in this job Bina the Brain is doing her best. 20 Lois Colton, her reputation for being a practiced man hunter, to Betty Gagnon. Albert Dearie leaves his position as Chemistry teacher, to Mr. Hed- lund. Bob Gordon leaves the hope that all the boys are as lucky as he is in not being rejected by the Salvation Army. Bessie Gallaher, her ability to remain engaged to the same man so long, to Delpha Dunnington. Gordon Hungar will leave his black date book with telephone num- bers, to anyone big enough to take it. Charleen Jolitz and Phyllis Schuster kindly leave their addresses and telephone numbers to the U. S. Navy in general. Clayton Wagner wishes he had something to leave. Gordon Lundquist, his one arm driving ability, to that bicycle cham- pion, John Cockburn. June Newman leaves her versatility of changing from civilians to service men, to any girl who has a boy friend who is of draft age. Louie Peterson leaves his car to his worst enemy. Muriel Thompson promises that she will give one arm driving lessons to any one that wants them. P. S. You furnish the gas. Dave Schwarzmiller, his towering size and insolent manner to Bill Thomas. Wayne Prentice wills his brother to anyone who will take him. Paul Ulrich wills his bottle opener to whomever gets his car. Tom Wojcik relinquishes his self-assurance with the girls, to the rest of the boys. Bonnie Watters leaves her ability to go steady so long, to Maxine Schuster. Don Brooks just leaves. Beverly Pellerin leaves her way to hook a man to Millie Jolitz. Gil Makus leaves his kinky hair in an Army barber shop after his induction. Betty Stevens leaves locker 159 behind. Bina Malburg wills her saucy manner to Edna Cluphf. 22 Strolling down the street leading a mangy cur, Comes the queen of society, Bessie Gallaher. But last on the list for us to degrade is Muriel Thompson, who remains a house maid. And if when you die, you go below, By the speed of the train you could tell That Prentice and Ulrich are stoking coal On that one way trip to-----------LAKE STEVENS. P. U. W. P. Class Will We, the class of 44, of Lake Stevens High School, County of Snohomish and State of Washington, in a condition believed to be of sound body and mind, do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament. Article I, Section I. To the faculty, we leave our thanks. Article II, Section I. To the Juniors, we leave our deepest sympathies for having to be- come Seniors. To the Sophomores, we leave the hope that your brains and manners will catch up with the size of your heads. To the Freshmen, we say, You don't know what you're in for. Article III, Section I. To the world in general, we leave as follows: Winnie Armstrong gallantly leaves her light step and airy manner to Mike Michelson. Colleen Anderson, her ping-pong ability to Coach Martina, she says he needs it. Ray Byres, his luxuriant growth of beard and winning manner, to Ken- neth Williams. 21 Juniors rv v2 The presiding officers for the complete year for the junior class were as follows: President, John Gilbert; Vice-President, Herman Kadyk; Sec- retary, Delpha Dunnington; Treasurer, Jo Ann Harshman; Representative, Herman Kadyk.

The class officers were President, John CockburQ; Vice-President, Bill Hubbard; Secretary, Pat Davidson; Treasurer, Barbara Ness; Council Rep., Jackie Bushong.

Eleven of the boys in the picture were in the Armed Forces of the United States by the end of this school year. The first two were Glen Knight and Mainard Logen who joined in their Freshman year. Ten of the girls either transferred to other schools or dropped during the following five years. Only five of the remaining Seniors began together at the White School. These were Gordon Hungar, Ray Byers, Colleen Anderson, Bon- nie Watters, and Paul Ulrich. Two of those starting at Glenwood together were Wayne Prentice and Beverly Pellerin. Mr. Frank Clark was our class adviser during 1938.

They appeared later at the Granite Falls and East Stanwood games. Their gommand performance was at the County Tournament in Snohomish. There were eighteen girls in the Drill Team this year of which only seven were former members. We are very fortunate in losing only three girls this year. They are Bonnie Watters, Captain; Betty Stevens and Winnie Armstrong. JoAnn Harshman has been elected as next year's captain. The suc- cess of the Drill Team is largely due to the untiring effort of Mr. Clifford, their director. His efforts are greatly appreciated. Two of the veteran members, Lois Kinney and Lois Colton, dropped out at the first of the year to become Yell Leaders. Majorettes The majorettes this year consisted of Evelyn Thompson, Jackie Bus- hong, and Mona Anderson.

The three major sports played during the year were speedball, bas- ketball and baseball. The following girls will receive letters and numerals: Bonnie Watters, June Newman, Dolores Jackson, Jo Ann Harshman, Muriel Thompson, Margaret Hebert, Lois Cooper, Betty Forest, Dolores Granger, Yvonne Reardon, Sophie Woyack, Chick Thomas, Dorothy Dearie, Lorraine Adams, Mary Mosman, Peggy Gordon, and Carrie Cornish. Yell Leaders The Yell Leaders this year were Lois Kinney, Tom Wojcik, and Lois Colton, who were chosen by the Student Body after competing with two other groups. Marna Michelson was named the school's Song Leader. They appeared at most of the season's games. The first was held at Granite Falls and the last was our second game in the Snohomish County Tournament. The acrobatic stunts of Tom Wojcik added zest to the team and were very popular with the students. All four costumes of navy blue made a striking background for the letters of purple and gold. Letiermen (T’V O The first Lettermen's club meeting was held at the start of this year to elect officers. The meeting was rather informal as only five members of the club had returned. The officers were elected as follows: President, Paul Ulrich; Vice- President, Dave Schwarzmiller; Secretary, Gordon Lundquist; Council, Al- bert Dearie, and Gordon Hungar was Sergeant-at-Arms. The following boys were admitted into the club because of their foot- ball playing: Bob Gordon, Clayton Wagner, Piatt Shewmaker, Lowell Posey, Dean Scott, Gilbert Makus. Allen Bartlett and Wayne Prentice won letters through basketball. 37 Basketball rv 5 After a season of ups and downs, the Viking basketball squad came home with second place safely tucked away. The regular season ended in a three way tie for first place but Stanwood dumped the Vikings in the play-off. In league play, including the play-off, the Vikings won 8 games and lost 3. Non-conference play saw the Vikings break even with 3 wins and losses. The Viking squad did not fair so well in the Snohomish County Tour- ney. In the first game they were defeated by Snohomish and were edged out by Monroe in the final. Five lettermen are graduating seniors. These boys, Ulrich (Captain), Hungar, Lundquist, Dearie, and Prentice, will be sorely missed next season. Those receiving letters were Bartlett and Prentice. Next year's squad will have but two returning veterans but several scrappy underclassmen should lend lots of aid to the team. Football Completing a very successful season the Viking squad came home in a three-way tie for the championship. The team started off by dumping East Stanwood. A week later the boys went down to defeat before a fighting Turk eleven. Not a bit discouraged, the Vikings proceeded to route both Stanwood and Darrington by large scores. In non-conference games the team broke even, trouncing the Everett B squad and bowing to Mount Vernon in an exciting and close game. Feature of this year's team was their high scoring, once they started rolling. In the six games played, the Vikings ran up 168 points to their opponents' 33. This is undoubtedly a record for a Viking football team. Lake Stevens loses eight lettermen, but a fast, tough team should return next year. Those receiving letters were as follows: Albert Dearie End Piatt Shewmaker Center Bob Gordon .Tackle Clayton Wagner Guard Gordon Lundquist ...Q. B. Lowell Posey H. B.

A. of Lake Stevens The Lake Stevens Parent-Teacher Association has just finished its sixth year as a community organization. Being primarily interested in the health and welfare of the children in this district. The group has emphasized work along these lines. In the past quite a good deal of dental work for the children has been done, also many tonsillectomies. Each spring a summer round-up clinic has been sponsored for the benefit of the pre-school child. Camp Fire is another project of the association and there are now three groups of girls, one Blue Bird group of eighteen members and two groups of regular Camp Fire Girls. During this past winter P.-T. A. became interested in recreational ac- tivities and with the help of members of church groups and other or- ganizations in the community they formed a Department of Recreation. Much of the work has been striving for friendship and goodwill. We appreciate the opportunity Pilchuck has given us to tell of our work in the community. May we wish you all a successful future. 43 COMPLIMENTS OF PARDEE'S 'Most Modern Food Establishment in the Vicinity FRUITS Quality Is Paramount FRUITS AND VEGETABLES GROCERIES WILLIAM P.
