GIgAA cMutosuf, In the fall of 1944, Lake Stevens High School gained a freshmen class unlike any of its predecessors. 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
