7 4e Piicl 1948 PUBLISHED by the SENIOR CLASS LAKE STEVENS HIGH SCHOOL LAKE STEVENS, WASHINGTON dedicationi THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1948 GRATEFULLY DEDICATES THIS ANNUAL TO OUR PRINCIPAL AND FRIEND, MR. PAUL C. BROWNELL tf-osiawand We have worked hard on this annual and it contains the best of which we are cap- able. Our purpose has been to present a true and complete picture of the past school year. In setting forth this picture, we have tried to capture the spirit which pre- vailed throughout the year. It is best expressed in the Pilchuck theme carried out on the division pages. Outwardly the theme seems to be one of fun and humor, yet there is a serious, underlying motive of climbing the mountain and reaching our goal. 2 fyacultif. E. R.

Stcufjj Putting out the Pilchuck has never been an easy task. This year's staff took on the additional burden of a new type of annual, which required more work than those of the preceding years. With the aid of their advisor, Mr. Brownell, who has had considerable experience in the publishing of annuals, the staff not only produced a dis- tinctive annual, but also met all the deadlines; thus enabling the Pilchuck to be here earlier than it has been for many years. The members of the staff were Editor.............................Carl a Lindgren Assistant Editor ...............................Don Sileox Business Manager...............................Don Kallicot Assistant Business Manager...................Yvonne Nelson Art Editor..................................Frances Taro Sports Editor.................................David Nordquist Reporters.......Mona Anderson, Nancy Perry, Mar- cella Driessche, Don Pardee, Mike Walters, Fern Shepherd, Patsy Legg. Typists.....June Colton, Rita Gantt, Barbara Bailey, Altha Wilbur. Advisor............................... Mr. Brownell The staff received some very capable aid. Much of the credit for meeting the en- gravers' deadlines is due to Mr. Branner, who did a great deal of the photography work. He was assisted by Jim Clifford, Don Stribling and Lora Lee Sovde. Mrs. Lundeen un- dertook the considerable task of proofreading all the copy. Mr. Kennedy, Bob Byers and Bill Cornish contributed pictures for the sports section. The staff would like to express its appreciation to these people and also to the teachers who excused staff members from class in order that they might work on the Pilchuck. 4 GlaAA i SENIORS JUNIORS SOPHOMORES FRESHMEN HONORS and AWARDS Sestiaci THEIR AMBITIONS AND ACTIVITIES TOM AHERN—To be an honest politician.

This was not a group of the usual shy freshmen but a group which immediately entered into the round of activities. Miss French, our adviser, aided us in electing able class officers. The students chosen were David Nordquist, president, and Irene Grimm, secretary. The secretary read an invitation from the sophomore class in which they dared us to come to their party on Friday, the 13th of October, 1944. The Recreation Council gained a competent and energetic member when the freshmen class elected Mona Anderson to represent them. Mona Anderson, Irene Grimm, and Rita Gantt represented our class in the Drill Team, and they gave their first exhibition on January 12, 1945. During our sophomore year we had Lee Wicklund, Pat Burgwin, and Clarence Makus representing our class in football and Lee Wicklund, Pat Burgwin, and David Nordquist representing us in basketball. In January of 1946, Lee Wicklund, Pat Burgwin, and Clarence Makus became Lettermen and Roy John- son obtained his letter for manager. Class officers for the year were as follows: President, Lee Wicklund; vice president, Carla Lindgren; secretary, Jim Kirk, and treasurer, Tom Ahern. Representing our class on the Honor Roll were the following students: Mona Anderson, June Colton, Irene Grimm, Carla Lindgren, David Nordquist, and Nancy Perry. Rita Gantt and Bert Ronnestad received honorable mention. In February of 1945, the Junior College of Everett had one of its annual Student Leaders' Confer- ences. The students chosen from the sophomore class to represent Lake Stevens were Mona Anderson, Nancy Perry, and David Nordquist. The junior year brought many new problems to be coped with, but the able class officers—president, David Nordquist; vice president, Harold Brooks; secretary, Nancy Perry; treasurer, Frances Taro, and council representative, Tom Ahern—together with the other members of the class made it a successful year. Two girls from our class were in the Letter-Girls' Club when the first Athletic Banquet was given in December, 1946. Pop Hagerty was the guest speaker. April 25, 1947, was the most memorable day for the juniors, for that was the date of the annual Junior Prom. For this occasion, the class chose Tropical Paradise as the theme. There were elephants, tigers, birds and snakes painted on the walls to give the gymnasium a jungle-like appearance. Irene Grimm was chosen from our class to represent Lake Stevens at the Strawberry Festival held in Marysville, during June. Our senior year in high school brought many events and talents to the public eye. Henry Robinett, from the senior class was ore of four boys in the county delegated by the Everett Elks to go to the F. F. A.'s National Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. Five students from the senior class were on the Student Council. Three were members and two of them, David Nordquist and Irene Grimm, were officers. David Nordquist was president of the Student Body and Irene Grimm, secretary. The athletic event of importance was the winning of the Northwest Tri-County Championship in Foot- ball. Seniors on the team were Clarence Nelson, Clarence Makus and David Nordquist. Bill Bancroft was the manager. Each year the best athletes from the state are chosen to make up one championship football squad. From our team, David Nordquist was chosen to play end position on this All-State team which is to play the Seattle All-Stars in Seattle. Class officers for this eventful year were as follows: President, Don Kallicot; vice president, Mar- cella Driessche; secretary, Marcella Willard, and treasurer, Henry Robinett. The Gay Nineties Revue, our next important event, was presented in joint association with the Music Department. This program was presented to raise money for the yearbook, The Pilchuck, and for the Music Department. All the scenery for the play was made by Orin Negaard, Carla Lindgren, Marcella Driessche, Barbara Bailey, Frances Taro, and Paula Martini. The senior class, as their contribution to the program, presented a Melodrama entitled Beauty's Curse. The students in the play were David Nordquist, Lee Wicklund, Nancy Perry, Mona Anderson and Howard Wolf. Marcella Driessche was elected president of the Girls' Club, after having been vice president during her junior year. The Daughters of the American Revolution had several schools in the county choose girls to repre- sent them in the contest which annually sends one girl from each state to the D. A. R. convention in Washington, D. C. Nancy Perry was chosen by the students and faculty of the Lake Stevens High School. We had an extremely successful basketball season this year with the team placing second in the Tri- County B League. Senior class members on the team were Lee Wicklund and David Nordquist. April second was the day of days for the seniors, who, on that date, presented their mysterious play Tiger House. The cast included Irene Grimm, David Nordquist, Marcella Driessche, Lee Wicklund, June Colton, Tom Ahern, Nancy Perry, Fern Shepherd, Bill Bancroft and George Forbes. Forty seniors reached their goal, Graduation, on June 3, 1948. Student speakers chosen by their class and the faculty for the occasion were David Nordquist, Nancy Perry and Mona Anderson. 10 Clate, Pnap-ltecy When the might class of 48 sailed out onto the sea of fate ' they were shipwrecked on an island. It seems each day the captain scribbled down a little note, and this is the log- book and exactly what she wrote: We were shipwrecked on this island just four years ago today, But with all the brains we had on board we have never known dismay. Tom Ahern is our Irish cook and baker, He keeps a sideline business as the island's undertaker. Lee Wicklund is quite the business man, with work that occupies him— He spends his time dictating notes to his agent, Irene Grimm. We have opened up a theatre featuring many brilliant stars And at the door Bill Bancroft is selling black cigars. Pat Werner owns a studio where our movie stars are trained; That's where Nancy Perry's acting talents were gained. The island's booming Beauty Shop is owned by Rita Gantt, Her motto is: If you aren't made pretty by Gantt you can't. Don Giusti, the actor, with pretty wavy hair, Advises all the island folks to take their business there. Dean Hegge owns a cigar store which has brought him quite a sum. He buys his goods from the tobacco man. Bill Ketchum. Junior Cluphf and Roy Johnson have built for us a bus, The bus requires two drivers, Harold Brooks and Clarence Makus. Our educated lawyer is Henry Robinett. He can win a case when there isn't one and on that I'd place a bet. Altha Wilbur owns a clothing store with a partner. Bob Blem, Bob models all the dresses while Altha pins the hem. Orin Negaard owns a wood shop where fine furniture is made; Clarence Nelson is his partner but he's a chiseler by trade. Don Kallicot, a thrifty man, owns the Island Daily , His chief assistant and delivery gal is who but, Barbara Bailey. Howard Wolf is building airplanes out of parts from his Model T, But his test pilot, Paula Martini, thinks a hangar is a tree. June Colton owns a jewelry store and you'll find no jewelry finer, Her partner, Nancy Fisher, is an excellent designer. Boyd Hendrickson owns a restaurant where everyone has fun. His cook is Arlene Anderson; She keeps things in a stir And all the food we eat there is served by Beulah Whittaker. Marcella Willard has a candy store which is quite a money reaper. Adabel Hisey makes the candy and Mona Anderson is bookkeeper. All the monkeys on the island have a zesty sports approach; They play a hefty game of tackle with David Nordquist as their coach. Frances Taro and Carla Lindgren are most accomplished artists And whatever they set out to do they make it look its smartest. Bert Ronnestad is a Scientist who is always in a hurry; That's why his chief assistant is speedy Bob McMurray. George Forbes owns a Department store but doesn't like the work, That's why he went in partnership with that brawny lad, Jim Kirk. Fern Shepherd runs an Antique shop that really is a faker. Because every antique in the shop was made by Donnie Shewmaker. Whenever on this island there arises a debate The people turn to that wise man, our Governor, Junior Haight. The captain who wrote this log-book about the island in the sea, Was a poor old would-be author, Marcella Van Den Driessche. ) 1 SENIOR BABY SNAPS Dean Hegge Roy Johnson Don Kallicot Adabel Hisey Don Giusti Tom Ahern Junior Cluphf June Colton Harold Brooks Howard Wolf Rita Gantt Clarence Makus Boyd Hendrickson Barbara Bailey Clarence Nelson Donnie Shewmaker Nancy Fisher Paula Martini 12 SENIOR BABY SNAPS Nancy Perry Fern Shepherd Bert Ronnestad Carla Lindgren Bob Blem Lee Wicklund Altha Wilbur Bill Ketchum Henry Robinett Frances Taro Marcella Driessche Dave Nordquist Marcella Willard Bill Bancroft Pat Werner Arlene Anderson Beulah Whittaker Irene Grimm Jim Kirk Mona Anderson 13 JUNIORS FIFTH ROW: Larson.

We elected at our first class meeting the following: President ............................................................... Ted Graves Vice President ....................................................... Gene Hungar Secretary .................................................................... Betty Lundgren Treasurer ......................................................... Vivian McDaniel Council Representative .................................................Don Worlund Assistant Pilchuck Editor.................................................Don Silcox Assistant Pilchuck Business Manager...........................................Yvonne Nelson Two new pupils welcomed into the junior class this year were LaVerne Little from Snohomish, and Ken Nickell from Queen Anne High, Seattle. The biggest social event of the year was put on, of course, by our class. To raise money for this special event, the Junior Prom, we sold ice cream bars at basketball games. On November 10, with Jeanne Bolding acting as chairman, we presented an Armistice Day Program. Four days later, November 14, we sponsored a sock-dance at which the winner of our candy raffle was an- nounced. We were well represented in Torch, having 14 students in this Honor Society. In fact, the vice presi- dent, secretary, and treasurer of this exclusive organization were members of our class. Several junior boys turned out for all three major sports — football, basketball, and baseball — and five junior girls earned their letters and were initiated into the Vi-Queens. SofditunoAeA We started our second year in high school with 58 students, but by the end of the year this num- ber had dwindled to 53. Not unusual but practical, at our first class meeting we elected class officers. Harry Chick ...............................................................President James Larsen ........................................................Vice President Wayne Rodland ............................................................ Secretary Connie Johnson ........................................................... Treasurer Rex Taylor...........................................Student Council Representative Due to our big heartedness, and to uphold tradition, we gave the freshmen a light initiation on October 17. Audrey Nichols, Rex Taylor, Joanne Quarnstrom, Don Pardee, Joyce Lundberg, Charles Lind- gren, and Don Stribling—as a committee—worked hard to promote this party which was so enjoyed by all who attended. On January 28, we gave an assembly for the high school student body. Three short plays, 'Shave and a Permanent ‘ Pyramus and Thisbe, and Slightly Exaggerated were presented. Joanne Quarn- strom gave a monologue entitled His First Date, and Don Pardee ended the program with his rendition of The Cremation of Sam McGee. We sponsored a dance on November 26, Thanksgiving vacation, called the Turkey Hop, ' to raise funds for our Junior Prom. Two members of our class—Harry Chick, tackle and Wayne Rodland, guard—won their letters in football last fall; and during the year, six sophomore girls earned their letter in athletics and were initiated into the Letter-Girls ' Vi-Queen organization. As there are only 14 Letter-Girls in high school we feel quite proud that six of them are from our class. To account for the brightness of our class picture, we had 10 members with a high scholastic aver- age who were in the Torch Honor Society. fyn Uun n Shortly after school began the Freshman initiation took place. Initiation was followed by refreshments, and dancing concluded an evening of fun. The different members of our class immediately entered into a variety of activities. Six freshmen boys were on the Junior High basketball team. Patsy Legg, Jim Hubbard and Sidney Strassburg repre- sented the Junior High on the radio show, which Lake Stevens High School presented. Audrey Honey- cutt and Barbara Peterson possessed exceptional tummbling skill which enabled them to be on the select tumbling team of six girls, who won second place in the Balboa Theatre Talent Show. Patsy Legg was chosen as the ninth grade representative to the Snohomish County Red Cross meeting. The Junior High paper, The Junior Beacon, was published twice monthly by a staff which consisted almost entirely of freshmen. The editor was Jim Hubbard. 15 Jlo+UMA. and AuMiAxh, THREE YEAR HONOR STUDENTS Carla Lindgren Irene Grimm David Nordquist Nancy Perry Mona Anderson Irene Crimm David Nordquist Carla Lindgren Mona Anderson Nancy Perry UPPER QUARTILE Fern Shepherd Bert Ronnestad Altha Wilbur June Colton Henry Robinett MISCELLANEOUS AWARDS Clarence Makus.................................................State Farmer David Nordquist ...............................................State Farmer Henry Robinett ................................................State Farmer David Nordquist....................................All State Football Team Carla Lindgren.............Second Place, Snohomish County T.

With student government the school runs more smoothly and the students understand problems that, otherwise, would not be brought to their attention. Representatives from each class and each organization bring ideas and suggestions from the whole school before the Council. These suggestions are discussed thoroughly and action decided upon. All members of the Student Council, except the treasurer, are elected by the student body. The treasurer, who takes care of the school's financial records, is appointed by the Superintendent and the commercial teacher. Meetings are held every other Monday during the school year, at three o'clock. Problems that were taken up this year were many and varied—the price of Associated Student Body membership cards, ap- propriations for the Pilchuck, a point system to determine the number of offices one can hold each year, new equipment for boys' sports, and many other questions. Officers of the Council for 1947 were: David Nordquist ........................................................ President Ted Graves .........................................................Vice President Irene Grimm ............................................................ Secretary Don Silcox ............................................................. Treasurer Mr. Browneli ............................................................. Adviser Members were: Senior Class Representative, Clarence Nelson; Junior Class Representative, Don Wor- lund; Sophomore Class Representative, Rex Taylor; Freshman Class Representative, Sidney Strassburg; Let- termen, Edward Manning; Letterwomen, Betty Lundgren; Boys' Club, Gene Hungar; Girls' Club, Barbara Bailey; Drill Team, June Colton and Torch, Don Pardee. losiclt The Torch Honor Society, consisting of students maintaining a 3.0 grade average, was one of the most active clubs in school this year. One activity was the running and partial financing of the noon movies. The Torch members also presented a student body assembly and gave the annual party for the freshmen which was enjoyed by the faculty as well as the students. The officers were: President ............ Vice President ....... Secretary ............ Treasurer ............ Council Representative Sergeant-at-Arms Advisor .............. Mona Anderson ...Gene Hungar ... Janice Sather Betty Lundgren ... Don Pardee David Nordquist .... Mr. Bancroft O ice Btajl In September students were glad to see many new novels on the library shelves, especially Years of the Locust, Black Rose, and Lydia Bailey. A majority of the 133 new books were non-fiction. Most popular among these were Home to India, Burma Surgeon, Mr Lincoln's Cameramen, Paris Underground, and Anna and the King of Siam. Cleverly written books of American humor also proved to be much in demand. This year 10 student librarians have been concentrating on the reference section, becoming familiar with types of information contained in the reference volumes in order to direct students to the best possible source when necessary. Carrying on the duties in the offices of Mr. Hunt and Mr. Brownell during the year were the following high school students: Harriet Purtteman Feme Shepherd Rita Gantt Betty Lundgren Lora Lee Sovde Janice Smith Donnie Shewmaker Ruth Ahlberg Janet Brotten Helen Smith Gloria Gordon Marcella Driessche Altha Wilbur Dorothy Mach Thela Bettinger Arlene Dake Arlene Anderson Vivian McDaniels Don Silcox Joyce Hart These students answered the phone, took care of the stenographic and secretarial work, and handled the general office duties. Don Silcox, student body treasurer, handled the finances of the school very efficiently Besides receiving wide experience, the office staff rendered a worthwhile service to the school. 19 DRILL TEAM BACK ROW: York.

Wilbur bnlLl eatn The drill team of Lake Stevens High School completed a very successful year by drilling at the Tri- County Tournament at Twin City. They also drilled at Granite Falls. Under the supervision of their ad- visor, Mr. Clifford, many new drills and formations were devised. The team consisted of the 17 regular members and two substitutes. The captain for the year was Mona Anderson and Yvonne Nelson was lieutenant. Featured at games and community affairs this year were the girl tumblers who, under the guidance of Mrs. Martina, gave many excellent performances. The team of 22, who performed in special circle formation at the Monroe game and at the District Basketball Tournament, was composed of the following: 2nd: Nancy Nichols; 6th: Iris Bodine; 7th: Juanita Jelvik, Patsy Tucker, Marilyn Nichols, Karen Gordon, Shirley Barth; 8th: lone Bodine, Alyda Jelvik, Betty Johnson, Dolly Walter, Jeanne Brown, Nellie Platsman; 9th: Audrey Honeycutt, Barbara Peterson, Betty Clifford; 10th: Audrey Nichols, captain and manager; Joanne Quarnstrom, assistant manager; Gloria Jelvik; 1 1th: Janice Smith, Jeanne Bolding. The three Jelvik sisters—dressed in red, white, and blue—gave a unique tumbling act at the Armistice Day Program. At two Basketball games, a team of 12, all 8th grade girls, surprised the audience with their talent. A highly specialized group of six were in demand all the year. These were Audrey Nichols, Alyda and Gloria Jelvik, Joanne Quarnstrom, Barbara Peterson, and Audrey Honeycutt. They performed at sev- eral basketball games including the District Tournament. They gave exceptional performances at the Gay Nineties Revue, Lake Stevens Grange Community Night, Elks Lodge night for 4-H and FFA boys, Play Day at Arlington, and Sultan High School Fashion Show. As a fitting climax, after tough com- petition, they won second place in the talent show in Everett, followed by an invitation to appear at the Hastings Theatre in Vancouver, B. C. They had to cancel some engagements due to lack of transportation, one of which was at the Eatonville P. T. A. Circus Night. The girls have worked hard and have done a great deal to brighten school life and school activities as well as having received favorable recognition from this and other communities. During the school year 1947-1948, our Yell Leaders were three girls from the sophomore class— Joanne Quarnstrom, Mary Ellen Hallam, and Au- drey Nichols. These girls led yells at all the foot- ball and basketball games. Being active in the tumbling team, they also included acrobatics in their yell routines. Their tumbling feats made them more interesting as yell leaders at the many exciting games Lake Stevens played during the year. Mrs. Iten was manager of the cafeteria during the 1947-48 school year. Her very capable staff was composed of junior and senior high students. Adabel Hisey prepared teachers' lunches, Ruth Ahl- berg served ice cream, Altha Wilbur punched tickets, Elizabeth Ahlberg helped serve lunches, and Helen Stichler helped to put out food and run the dish-washer. The janitor duties were taken care of very effici- ently by Mr. Hisey and Mr. Yates. The girls made a nice appearance in their navy blue skirts and gold sweaters, representative of the school colors—purple and gold. Bill Taylor, Milton Hisey, Earl Yates, Abe Ly- man and Pete Thaanum drove the five school busses. 21 fyutufie fya ime iA. o-f America TOP: F.F.A. shop and classroom: State farmers (Left to Right—H.

Officers of the FFA were President, Bill Lund; Vice President, Boyd Hendrickson; Secretary, Gene Hun- gar; Treasurer, Henry Robinett; Reporter, James Larson; Sentinel, Howard Negaard. The past year was the ninth year in which vocational agriculture was taught in Lake Stevens High School. All in all, it was a very successful year. Some of the highlights were as follows: The awarding of the state farmer degree to three boys; David Nordquist's barrow winning grand champion at the Northwest Junior Livestock Show; Henry Robinett going to the National Convention in Kansas City; the fat stock judging team placing second. During the summer of 1947 a group of FFA boys went on a judging tour of the Fraser River valley in Canada. During September the main project of the FFA was the fair at Monroe. The Lake walked off with quite a few prizes, the most important prize winner was Fred Cushman's grand champion Guernsey cow. Fred also won tops in fitting and showing at Puyallup. The potato judging team also distinguished itself this year by winning second at Edmonds. The potato judging team also distinguished itself this year by winning second in the contest at Ed- The annual Father and Son banquet was held on February 17. It was one of the best banquets the FFA has ever had. A farm shop and classroom unit is soon to become a reality. The buildings were purchased from war assets and are from Paine Field. Most of the heavy equipment (such as lathes, drill presses, welders, and grinders) has been moved into the building and is waiting to be used in the Vocational Agriculture Program. 22 fylGuililUe The students of Lake Stevens High School have edited and printed their school paper, The Flash- lite, for the past twenty-five years. Since 1944, the entire production of The Flashlite has been assigned to the Journalism class. Be- fore that, it was published by reporters, representatives from each department and activity, who served for the entire year but did not receive credit for their work. With the aid of their adviser, Mrs. Lundeen, the Flashlite staff, composed of twenty-eight students, published the paper semi-monthly during the past year. They entered a contest, sponsored by the J. O. Alberts Supply Company, for mimeographed papers put out by high schools throughout the Northwest. Two hundred and seventy copies of each Flashlite issue were run and distributed. Frances Taro, an advanced Journalism student, edited the first issue of the paper and Don Silcox and Don Lundquist each had an opportunity to put out an issue, so that they could get experience for next year.

P io n 194-8 On April 16, 1948, the Class of 49 presented the annual Junior Prom. The name, which was also the theme of the decorations, was Oriental Fantasy. The gym was decorated with picturesque Chinese and Japanese scenery, including many colored lanterns, Chinese handmade paper flowers, and the sign of Happiness which hung from the net. The punch and ticket booths were small replicas of Chinese pagodas. The ticket sellers and cloak-room attendants were dressed in beautiful Chinese costumes. The dance was formal with Wally's Orchestra providing the music for the evening. The general chairman was Gene Hungar who led the class in making the Prom a success. His committees were as follows: Assistant Chairman, Yvonne Nelson; Art, Janice Smith, Bob Crook; Music, Dorothy Mach; Invitations, Betty Lundgren, Lora Lee Sovde; Publicity, Don Lundquist. We, the Class of 49 , would like to thank Mr. Branner, our advisor, for his patience and co-operation during the work on our Prom. fltuuosi Pn m 1947 TROPICAL PARADISE A jeweled lake and trees so fair, Hung with moss like angel hair. A jungle fire of blazing hue Brought dancing natives into view. Birds and beasts and butterflies Were a rainbow of color in heaven's eyes. Orchids, like fairies, danced mute In the skies, completing our Tropical Paradise. Yes, that is a description of our Prom. For the first time in Lake Stevens' prom history every wall of the gym had a scene. The scenes were designed by Carla Lind- gren, who did a wonderful job. Co-chairmen were Marcella Driessche and Barbara Bailey. The other committee heads were Frances Taro, Mona Anderson, Neila Al- len, Irene Grimm, June Colton, Adabel Hisey, Jim Liptrap, and last but least, our advisor was Mr. Branner. 24 TOP: Oswalds entrance.

Erma Lowrie has in- herited the estate from her eccentric aunt. Accord ing to the terms of the will, she must occupy the house for one year. Erma's cousins, Arthur Hale and Oswald Kerins, her Aunt Sophia, and Peggy Van Ess are all house guests when things begin to happen. Secret panels, tiger claws and the ghostly atmosphere of a haunted house on a stormy night, combined with the hpynotic spells cast by Yami and warnings from the Mystery Woman and Mrs. Murdock, finally convince Erma and her fiance Macintosh that someone is trying to frighten her away in order to gain possession of the Tiger's necklace. Her deceased aunt had stolen the necklace and hidden it in the house. Erma is much surprised to find the genteel Arthur and his accomplice, Thompson, at the bottom of the plot.

MuAic 5b epxisUment The Music Department, consisting of the Glee Club and the orchestra, was under the direction of Mrs. Frances Herrell. The Glee Club this year was composed of 35 girls and 13 boys. The club was engaged in many school activities. Marlene York, George Dahlquist and Bob Byers sang in the Gay Nineties Revue. The Bar- bershop Quartette—Tom Ahern, George Dahlquist, Dave Nordquist and Howard Wolf—also sang. The FFA Quartette, which performed several times, was composed of Tom Ahern, Bob Byers, Lee Wicklund, and Dave Nordquist. The Music Department also put on an assembly this year. The first of a series of annual operettas tc be presented at Lake Stevens was entitled the Gypsy Rover. The cast was Meg, Marcella Driessche; Zara, Beverly Smith; Marto, Don Stribling; Sinfo, Don Withrow; Rob, Don Pardee; Lady Constance, Mar- lene York; Lord Craven, Ronald Reber; Sir George Martendale, Rex Taylor; Nina, Joyce Lundberg; Captain Jerome, Bob Byers; Sir Loby Lyon, Harrison Barth; McCorkle, Tom Ahern; and Lackey, Orin Haight. The chorus was composed of the rest of the glee club. The gypsy children were pupils from the sixth grade. The Glee Club took part in the annual Christmas program, and for the second year, in the Snohomish County Music Festival. Five different musical selections were learned for the festival, which was held at the Civic Auditorium in Everett, on May 14. The orchestra, composed of sixteen members, participated in many school activities. The Orchestra was in demand for school assemblies and evening programs. 26 AUtleti i � BASEBALL 1947 FOOTBALL BASKETBALL BASEBALL 1948 LETTERMEN VI-QUEENS SPORT SNAPS FRONT ROW: Bill Lund.

T'was the Spring of 47 and baseball was m the air The first turnout had been slated, There were sore arms here and there. The list of returning lettermen Made Coach Martina glad And the new fellows playing, Didn't look half bad. There were Thompson and Negaard to share the catching Either Johnson or Lund on the hill Nordquist covered the first base sack While Bettinger stood by with a will. Wallace Red Nelson was second baseman Lund, when not pitching, was shortstop Manning was ready to fill in where needed A utility man, who was tops. At third there was Hungar With Graves standing by Ready to stop line drive, grounder, or fly. Roaming in the out field Were Cushman, Zahler and Hart. With Hadsell, Neil or Dave Johnson Ready to do their part. The team had excellent material And a swell coach besides This was the year we had waited for The wins would be on our side. The first encounter was a high scoring one, With Everett's second team. The Vikings won 9 to 10 We were really on the beam. The next team we beat was Granite Falls 4 to 0 was the score The Lake by now was going strong, And wanted more and more. One inning was all that was needed next game, to win it for the Lake, 7 runs we made in one frame that day But that wasn't all we could make. We added 3 more to be sure of ourselves And raise our total to ten. Twin City could gather but six that day Though they had some mighty good men. Lake Stevens—three; Darrington—two; It was mighty close, you can see. Dick Johnson stole home on a wild pitch T'was the margin of victory. Dick also pitched a one hit game. He was hero of the day The rest of the team did their part, too In a way that was really okay; Our fifth game was with Twin City We won without a doubt, the score was 4 to 0, It was our second shutout. The non-league tilt that we played next Was with Whidbey's Langley High. A score of six to two, broke our winning streak (We should have taken our bye.) Darrington lost to us again, in the seventh game that we played, Two runs they had to their credit, five is what we made. Everett Seconds again (once wasn't enough) They probably thought they could win. At the end they had three but we had three more. You can see how wrong they had been. Then Langley came over to play us at home, And we evened the score a bit, Langley had two, Lake had four (Lund helped with his three base hit) The last game of the year was with Granite Falls, We finished the season with a spree, While Lake collected fifteen runs, Granite Falls only got three. We placed first in the league in '47 And lost but one game all year Such was the team of Lake Stevens High now anw . . . that is all, I fear. 28 1'U-QoiUiilf fyootluiU GUa HfUO Vi With seven returning lettermen as a nucleus, Coach Martina molded a championship team which ran undefeated through all opposition. Lake Stevens had a record of nine wins and no losses at the end of the season. The team placed first in the Snohomish County Class B League, and also rated first in the newly-formed Tri-County League. The Tri-County League is made up of teams from Oak Harbor, Coupeville and Langley in Island County and from Concrete and LaConner in Skagit County as well as the regular Snohomish ‘'B teams. The initial game of the season found Twin City fall victim, 31-0, to the tricky T-formation offensive which largely replaced last year's single wing formation. The following week the Vikings traveled to Darrington where they trounced the Loggers 38-0. One of the closest games of the season was played the following Friday at the home field, with LaConner scoring on the third play of the game. After a hard fought game, the final score was 14-6 in favor of the home team. Lake Stevens' fourth win of the season was a 25-6 triumph over their rival, Granite Falls. The game was played in a sea of mud and featured mostly rock-em, sock-em football with very little passing. The week following the Granite win, the Vikings had a comparatively easy time in downing Coupe- ville with the overwhelming score of 43-6. The reserves saw a lot of action in this game after the regulars had run up the score. In the first night game of the year, the Vikings journeyed to Sultan and downed the Turks 26-0. The highest score of the season was made in a non-league tilt when the Vikings ran rough-shod over the Everett Baby Gulls to the tune of 55-14. Both of Everett's scores were made against Lake reserves. The big game of the season for Lake Stevens was the championship-deciding affair which was played in a sea of mud under the arc lights at Monroe. By winning 14-7, the Vikings clinched both the Snoho- mish County and Tri-County championships. The last game of the season was a home game with the defensively strong Oak Harbor team. A highly successful season was ended in a blaze of glory when the Lake won by a score of 21-0. Lake Stevens was well represented on the all-star teams this year with Nordquist, Makus, Negaard, Johnson and Lund being placed on the Snohomish County first team and Newman, Bettinger and Hungar on the second team. On the all-conference teams for the Tri-County League, Nordquist, Johnson, and Hungar were placed on the first team and Negaard made the second team. Makus and Lund received honorable mention. David Nordquist was named to the mythical all-state team for an end position. FRONT ROW: Bruce Martina. Ronal Pugsley. Edward Manning. Dick Johnson. Bill Lund. Ted Graves. Howard Negaard.

The team was built around the 3 returning lettermen, David Nordquist, Lee Wicklund, and Dick Johnson. Starting out strong, the Vikings won easily from the Coupeville Wolves. A week later they downed the defending champion. Twin City Cardinals, after pulling ahead in the last quarter. Concrete was the next victim of the Purple and Gold sharpshooters. After Christmas vacation everybody came back to school, ready to continue the winning streak. We just managed, however, to squeeze by Sultan by three points. This was the first game that either Bettinger or Wicklund played. Bettinger had been sidelined with an appendectomy and Wick had not been sure of his eligibility due to late arrival at school. We hit our stride again the next game, downing the Darrington Loggers to the tune of 50 to 25. Wicklund played an excellent game and led the scoring with fifteen points. One week later we jumped on the bus and headed for Granite. Again we emerged victorious. In addition to dropping in nine points, Hungar did an excellent job of checking Marshlain, Granite's high scorer. Six straight wins, and we were beginning to feel fairly good. However, whatever illusions we had of an undefeated season were dis- pelled when we played Monroe. Leading the entire game, Lake Ste- vens fell behind in the last four minutes and lost a heartbreaker by a score of 34 to 39. We were now halfway through our schedule with a record of six games won and one lost. Starting the second round the Vikings, trying to atone somewhat for the Monroe game, shifted into high gear and trounced Coupeville 69 to 18. Bettinger played an excellent rebound game. Twin City was next and the Lake, with a couple of ailing players, managed to eke out a one point margin victory. This was a close game all the way through and was certainly no place for a person with a weak heart. Johnson was really on the ball and did everything from potting it from the black line to bounding it off the opposition's backs. The return game with Concrete was the second one we lost. We had again led through the entire first half. We ran through the rest of the games with four straight wins. First we defeated Sultan 75 to 34, the highest score run up in league play. Then we took Darrington and Granite in our stride. The last game was with Monroe and we evened the score a little by running over them to the tune of 47 to 29. The last win cinched our second place standing in the new Tri- County League and also put us into the Northwest Tournament at Twin City in the second team berth. FIRST TEAM—Left to Right: Nordquist.

Hitting the basket from all angles the Lake won by a score of 64 to 39. Two days later the Vikings tangled with Concrete, the winner to go to the finals. After a tight game, Lake Stevens came out with a 5 point margin. In the finals the Vikings lost to LaConner by a score of 57 to 44, thereby winning second place trophy for the district. Although the Lake took second place, a play off game was neces- sary to decide the second team to go to the state tournament. In this game the Vikings lost to Oak Harbor to the tune of 45 to 46. It was a tough game to lose, especially after having led the whole game. At the end of the tournament play Johnson and Nordquist were placed on the all tournament teams. Johnson and Nordquist also received first place selection on the all Tri-County teams, which were chosen by the coaches. Hungar received honorable mention in these selections. This was the last year of basketball for three of the Purple and Gold cagers. Wicklund, Nordquist and Johnson will not be in the lineup next year, but with eight returning lettermen the Lake should have another good year.

However, the Lake should have a strong team again this year as there were only four regulars lost from the team by graduation. These four were Fred Cushman, Lyle Zahler, Don Hart and Howard Thomp- son. Back with the team again this year are Howard Negaard, catcher; Dick Johnson, pitcher; David Nordquist, first base; Wallace Nelson, second base; B: 11 Lund, shortstop; Edward Manning, shortstop; and Gene Hungar, third base. Last year we had a very successful season, winning nine games and losing one. This year, with the addition of some new teams due to the new Tri-County League, the competition was tougher. In addition to the league games played this year, there were one or two non-league affairs. JletteSunen The Lettermen took time this year from their many important duties to reorganize the Lettermen's Club. The first item of business was to elect officers. Let's just take a look at the fellows whom we elected to call signals for us during the school year of 1947-48. Our worthy president was none other than Lee Wicklund. Howard Negaard was chosen as the secretary-treasurer. The shoes of the sergeant-at-arms were amply filled by David Nordquist. After reorganizing we made the astonishing discovery that we had some money in our treasury. We immediately started thinking of some useful way we could spend this newly acquired capital. We finally decided that a good way to use at least part of this gift of our predecessors would be to buy a trophy repre- senting the baseball championship in 1947. At the end of a highly successful football season this year, the Lettermen's Club met and elected a foot- ball queen and three princesses. The queen, Nancy Perry, was crowned at the football dance, which was held the evening of November 14, after our last game of the season. A practice was started again this year which is never popular with the new lettermen, namely, that of initiation. All the fellows who made their letters in football were duly initiated and now that initiation has been started again, you can be sure that it will continue. BACK ROW: Bettmger. Chick. Graves.

Martina (Mrs. Coach) joined the faculty of Lake Stevens High to become the girls' Physical Education Director. She immediately re-or- ganized the Vi-Queens Club (frequently called the Letter-Girls' Club) and made girls' sports one of the most desired subjects in the school. During the first year the girls elected the one and only senior in the club, Ruth Wood, president of the Letter-Girls. Her fellow officers were Dolores Granger, vice president, and Dolores Lundberg, secretary-treasurer. During this year they participated in their first formal county initiation. Dolo'es Granger was invited to sing. In September of 1946, Lorraine Adams became president of the club and her cabi- net members were as follows: Vice president, Dorothy Dearie; secretary-treasurer, Nancy Perry and council representative, Sophie Woyach. The outstanding activities of the club for the 1946-47 season were the All-Talent Vaudeville on November 8 and the Athletic Banquet on November 27. The Vaude- ville brought the greatest crowd ever to assemble in the gymnasium of Lake Stevens High School. The Vaudeville contained acts by many high school students and younger students of the White, Glenwood, and Central Schools. Radio station KRKO gracious- ly allowed several of the acts on a fifteen minute radio broadcast. Five Vi-Queens were on the senior high tumbling team during the year of 1946-47 and they gave many excellent performances. Lorraine Adams, Dolores Granger, Irene Grimm, Peggy Gordon and Dolores Lundberg were the team members. In this year of 1947-48, the girls elected Nancy Perry, president; Irene Grimm, vice-president and Carla Lindgren, secretary-treasurer, with Betty Lundgren, council representative. At the All-Sports Athletic Banquet tha Letter-Girls presented each member of the first squad with a gold football commemorating their victorious season. On each foot- ball was inscribed N.W. Tri. Co. Champions, 1947.'' The highest award in girls' athletics, toward which all the girls are working, is the gold ball and chain. There have been only three girls in Lake Stevens to receive it— Dolores Lundberg, class of 1947; Irene Grimm and Nancy Perry, class of 1948. 33 • VIKINGS WIN , TRf - COUNTY CHRMPIONSHIP Vin, .s S '4. 7 -4. v- ‘ — M S H«I VkV V' ' ,. k “ •• ■ ----=- - WA V y.

Did you ever stop to think that the things on our school year calendar are the ones we'll remember always? Someday when we look into our mirror of memories we'll remember September at L. S. H. S. and some fond remembrance of the Letter Girls' dance may come back or we might recall the games the Vikings played with Twin Cities and Darrington. We might recall some of the fine performances we were privileged to see in the National Assemblies which were held throughout the year.

Banquet. Joyce and Pat on the air: A scene from the Junior Prom. We'll remember that in October we saw four exciting football games with Lake playing Concrete, Coupeville, Granite and Sultan. We attended the Torch Party, sophomore dance, junior dance and games with Mon- roe and Oak Harbor. December was lots of fun with all the Holiday excitement plus an A. S. B. Assem- bly and games with Coupeville, Twin Cities and Concrete. Oh, a new year, a new January! We saw another A. S. B. Assembly, put on by the Sophomores. The Vikings played Sultan, Granite, Monroe, Twin Cities and Coupeville. February was taken up with games—the Vikings played Sultan, Monroe, Concrete, Darrington and Granite. In March the Girls' Club sponsored their Annual Tolo. We got to dance in our shoes, so the dance was a big success. The Vikings enjoyed their State Athletic Banquet. We'll remember, too, how April is always a good month. It really rained violets for us. The Seniors presented the annual Senior Play—it was Robert St. Clair's Tiger House. It was such fun working on it. The one event loved and looked forward to by nearly ail of us is the Prom. It does the girls good to put on their formals and wear his flowers and it does the fellows good, too, in more ways than one, and they don't mind the expense too much because they like the Prom as much as any girl. 39 Cast of Gypsy Rover”—BACK ROW: Taylor, Ahern, Byers. Reber. Barth. FRONT ROW: Withrow, Smith, Lundberg. Pardee. York, Driessche. Stribling. Besides these two big events, the music department presented The Gypsy Rover, a three act Comedy Operetta. We enjoyed another National Assembly and the Annual Agriculture show. May is a nice month, too, nice especially for the girls, for they always honor their mothers at the Mother and Daughter Tea. The Glee Club students enjoyed the Annual Music Festival and took pride in being a part of it. May is a month for reminiscing, especially for the seniors who recall their old school days and the fun they have had in their twelve years of learning and growing pains. It's fun to remember our first days of school and compare it with our last. Entering school was a main step in our lives; it was also a high step which took twelve years to take and leaving is another step which will send us on our life's mission, whatever it may be. Hidden in the years somewhere is probably a first date, a first dance, a first kiss, and maybe even love which, needless to say, will always be remembered as a part of the growing and learning which took place while we were taking our first big step. The event best loved was the Senior Banquet, with skits and music. The biggest event in June is always GRADUATION. The Seniors' theme song becomes I'll Miss That Old Gang of Mine. 40 GIgAAAoom.
