 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

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
