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. For the greater part of the year the staff was: Editor...................... Assistant Editor ........... Business Manager............ Assistant Business Manager Boys' Sports ...............

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

fJiwuoA. 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
