THE 1956 PILCHUCK • • • We, the class of 1956, present this annual to the students who attend our Alma Mater. The staff has tried to recapture all of the highlights of the year so that you, the reader, as you leaf through the book, may recall these events. Some of us are leaving Lake Stevens High School and will carry this book with us as a remembrance of our beloved high school days. It is our sincere hope that everyone will treasure this book and enjoy- Looking Back at '56 . DEDICATION With heartfelt thanks and appreciation for all the help and guidance given to us, we, the Class of 1956, dedicate this annual to Mr. Rex Holbrook. Under his supervision, our Junior and Senior bands have flourished; our pep band is the peppiest ever, looking very nice in their newly-acquired uniforms; and Lake Stevens now has its own dance band. Because of Mr. Holbrook's help and suggestions, our drill team has stepped high and fancy. Mr. Holbrook has proven to be a friend to all; al- ways willing to extend a helping hand to anyone. For this, and more, we say, Thank you, Mr. Holbrook. 2 FACULTY MARIE ADAMS B.A. Western Washington College; Vice-Principal. WILLIAM BEESTON B.S. Brigham Young; Science; Sophomore Advisor.

We two guardian angels up on Cloud 7,Mertand Bert, thought that we should give you a recap of the past four years. Our first year of guardianship was 1952. It was then that we first met the students and from the very begmning we knew that we would enjoy this assign- ment. The enrollment of the Freshman class was 70 students. The following officers were elected: Jack Morris, president; Sandra Person, vice-president; Keith Warrick, secretary-treasurer; and Don Johnson, student council repre- sentative. As we recall, the freshman initiation was enjoyed by all-that is, all but our Freshmen! For Homecoming that year, Carroll Olin was princess and Jack Morris, prince. The Jr. Beacon was published by the class. The sophomore year kept us angels very busy. The officers were Jack Morris, president; Jerry Berglund, vice-president; Dorothy Thompson, secretary-treas- urer; and Don Johnson, student council representative. They had a very large class, 77 all told. The students had all of us rolling in the aisles when they put on their Sophomore play. The City Slicker and Our Nell. It was an old fash- ioned meller-drama . Socially, our wards were very active. They sponsored two dances and the Freshman Initiation. They were well-represented in all clubs too. There were four girls in Drill Team, 14 girls turning out for G A. A. and 10 boys active in sports. After a relaxing summer, we guardians had to return to our duties. Now our wards were Juniors. Sixty eight students made up the class, and their choice of officers were Jack Wood, president; Burke Williams, vice-president; Dorothy Thompson, secretary-treasurer; and Don Johnson, student council representa- tive. To earn money, the enterprising class sold pop and candy at the football games and they sponsored two dances. The highlight of the year was the Junior Prom------and what a prom that was ! It was called Fairyland Fantasy, Joyce Horne was general chairman. They now had seven girls in Drill Team, nine letter girls, seven Letter men, and 24 students in Torch. To end their Junior year, the students had a picnic at Lake Goodwin. During the summer, we recuperated from that hectic year, and regained our strength for the Senior year. Here it was, our last year with our wards. There were 64 graduating Seniors. The officers for their last year were Jack Morris, president; John Ames, vice-president; Dorothy Thompson, secretary; Wayne Werner, treasurer; and Don Johnson, student council representative. To raise enough money for the annual, the class put on their Senior Play, December 1 and 2. It was a real tear-jerker , the name being Room For One More. After the last performance, a party was given for the Seniors in the Home Ec. room.. The Seniors sold popcorn at all the football games and during noon hour, too. There were 13 boys in Lettermen's Club; 8 Lettergirls, 22 in Torch, and 7 in Drill Team. The climax of the four years came with graduation. And so our four-year guardianship came to a close. We only mentioned the main activities our wards participated in. There were parties, games, programs, dances, and other good times, too numerous to mention. You Seniors are on your own now-------our job is done. We've enjoyed watch- ing over you, and we hope that as you go out into the world, that you will never forge these precious years. Although we will have other classes to take care of, you will always remain our favorites. Goodbye Seniors . . . and good luck!

Poppy and Mother could never say no” to a home- less child, and in their tiny cottage it was often hard to tell their own children from the strangers they took under their wing. But Janey, their latest acquisition, was somewhat of a problem. They had promised the Home to keep her for two weeks—and here it was the day before she was to go back, and still she acted like a stranger—almost afraid of her own shadow. Then Miss Winston arrives a day earlier to take Janey back to the Home. Janey rebels. She doesn't want to go. The rest of the children decide that Janey can stay. They have no sooner shifted their sleeping quarters around to make room for her, when Jimmy John comes in . . No one had never been kind to him before and Mother’s heart goes out to the boy. Everyone shifts again to make room for him. Then in the midst of their hectic existence tragedy strikes. Poppy dies of a heart attack. The only solution to their financial problems is to sell the cottage. When Jimmy John overhears the discussion and realizes that the bills for his operations make it necessary to sell, he runs away. But the other children find him and bring him back. Then like a sudden burst of sunshine, fortune smiles, and all because of Jimmy John. The heart-warming conclusion enchanted everyone. The search is over. Jimmy John is found by Teensie and they re- turn to the Pumpkin Shell. Mother rushes to him as the others, rea- dy for the Harvest ball, look on. They are Janey-, Betty, Trot and Joey. ROOM FOR ONE MORE Senior Play Cast Mother Sandra Person Joey Ken Ward Trot Rose Joyce Home Teensie Rose .... . . Dorothy Thompson Janey ....

As we look back at '56, we can't for- get the classes andschool life that con- stituted the year. Remember the gab- fests in the hallway in the morning; the fight to get your books out of the locker before the bell rang? Do you recall that the most popular part of the hallway was the space in front of the bulletin board and that the pass words were, What's on the bulletin board this morning? A TOUR OF LAKE STEVENS HIGH SCHOOL Oops, there goes the bell. Say, why don't we look in on some classes fora couple of periods. First period and the kids settle down for a hard day's work. Ah,but what’s this?? The Home Ec. girls are having breakfast again........ or maybe it's breakfast at last! ASDF, FDSA...............the noise we hear coming from Room 20 is just the typing class warming up. Second period is here, and our next stop is biology class. Here we see Mr. Nich- olson explaining the ifs, ands, andbuts of plant life. As we come to our last stop for the day we find Mr. Branner’s very attentive his- tory class delving into military facts of the War of 1812. Well, there goes the bell for third pe- riod. Everyone dashes out into the hall- way, dives into lockers, and runs to the next class. When the commotion dies down, we emerge from our sheltering doorway, and decide to go down stairs and be first in line for cafeteria. We hope you enjoyed our tour, we did!! The main job of the librarians is to check books in and out. Librarians work on both sides of the counter, keeping the card files in order.

Ask about the coming program -- these are just a few of the commands that come from Arlene Duke, the editor of the Flashlite, our school paper. Arlene, together with Geraldine Temples, the assistant editor, and Mrs. Lundeen, the advisor, have noses for news . The Flashlite , published bi-monthly, is supported by the many merchants of Lake Stevens who buy advertising in it. All articles are written by the staff, all stencils are typed by the girls and the boys do the printing. The main purpose of the Flashlite is to bring news and editorial comment to its readers. For this and more, we say hats-off to the Flashlite Staff. Typing the stencils from the dummy pages is a big job! Sigh!! The Flashlite is finished for two more weeks!! (Note the smiles of relief on the staff as they read the finished prod uct.) Last step in the publication --printing the paper on the mimeograph machine.

THEY RECORD PAST EVENTS Did you ever stop to think about the work that goes into an annual? Well, let me give you a brief run-down. First, Mr. Robinson, our photographer, comes out and spends hours taking pictures. Next, layouts for the pages must be pre- pared, pictures identified, and copy written and typed. By staying after school and working at home, the work went smoothly, under the calm and sen- sible guidance of Mr. Branner. As editor, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff mem- bers for their willingness to work. Without their assistance our yearbook would never have been possible. So again I say Thanks , and wish the best of luck to all.

Mr. Burns, working with the students for only two hours a day, shaped the musical department into one never to be forgotten. One of the most impressive parts of the Christmas season was the day the choir caroled in the halls. The choir sang beautifully in the Christmas and Spring Concerts. The choir, together with the band, participated in a five-school concert held at Lake Stevens. Besides the main chorus, Mr. Burns had several smaller groups that performed at many of the com- munity programs and meetings. Some of these were the Viking Belles, the Quartet, and a Girls's Trio.

After waiting for years, their uniforms were here! These were purchased by several civic and school organizations. With Mr. Holbrook as advisor, the band showed its versatility. By playing in the Christmas and Spring Concerts, it proved to be a band that could play classical music wonderfully. But--at the football and basketball season the tempo changed. Our band was on hand at all the games, playing pep songs to cheer the team on, and jazz to cheer everyone on. Thus, our band is one to be proud of, playing everything from Bach to Bop--and playing it all superbly. BACK ROW: Bill Williams, Monte Wolff, Ron Dinius, Mr. Holbrook. THRID ROW: David McCoy, Wallace Odom, Larry McCoy, Bob Lee, Mike Reece. SECOND ROW: Doug Lofstrom, Jayne Haislett, Ralph Taylor, Gene Tipping, Dyan Cooper. FIRST ROW: Arlene Duke, Phyllis Spake, Linda Sovde, Janet Jensen, Lynn Solem, Marcia Welter, Ingrid Johnson, Lee Curtiss, Elinar Hendrickson, Earl Tui- ninga. THEY MADE MORE MUSIC Reed Section Clarinets: Janet Jensen, Linda Sovde, Phyllis Spake, and Arlene Duke. The Lake Stevens musical department really went to town this year. A dance band was even formed—a dance band that sounds quite professional. The band played for the bigger dances, such as tolos, Holiday dances, and so on. Bop, waltzes, two-steps, bunny -hops—they played them all. The members were Ralph Taylor, trumpet; Doug Lofstrom, saxophone; Earl Tuininga, trump- et; Mr. Holbrook, trombone; Joan Mobius, piano; and Monte Wolff, at the drums. Be- cause of all the work put in by the two teachers in the musicaldepartment, Mr. Burns and Mr. Holbrook, we say a hearty Thank you both! t J Listen to those drums! Just look at that drummer. That's what everyone said when the band began to play. And just who was the guy in back of the drums—Monte Wolff. Monte, with all his rhythm, made all songs seem a little peppier and he had ever- yone's feet tapping, whether it was inten- tional or not. y 3 FAIRYLAND FANTASY The Junior Prom, April 1, was the social event of the year! ! The couples waltzed dreamily to the music of Art Dales' orchestra. Because the theme was Fairyland Fantasy, the walls were covered with large murals of pixies, castles and so on. The lowered ceiling was trimmed with crepe paper and Japanese lanterns. The Prom was unique in that it was the last prom to be held in the old gym. Because of that fact, the class endeavored to make the Prom one never to be forgotten. Under the supervision of Joyce Horne, general chairman, and Mr. Branner, the advisor, the class designed and painted all the scenes during study halls, after school and in the evenings. Then after working for two weeks, all paint was washed off, sloppy shirts were changed for suits, paint cans were discarded for corsages. The evening was both enjoyable and unforgettable for all who attended. FASHIONS OF ’56 Hair cuts for the boys varied from the VERY long, as we see on Jack, to the VERY short, as we see on Jerry. As we look back at '56, we can't overlook the fashions of the day. Let's stand back and watch the dress parade . Here comes Burke, in the popular striped shirt and white peggers, with Dorothy, in a boy-blouse and jumper. Next, we spy Ken, in a long-sleeved sweater and peggers, having a relax- ing chat with Dixie who is attired in a plaid, pleated skirt and white sweater. Girls had their extreme hair styles too. Dorothy and Mary Lou are wonderful examples of this. These Lettermen are real gentle- men! John in his lettersweater, opens the door for Helen, who is wearing a straight skirt, long sleeved sweater, and a pearl choker. Donna, in a full corduroy skirt with a short sleeved sweater and long pearls, points out the details of Shakespeare to Dick, looking very casual in his blue jeans and check- ered shirt. School is out and Joyce and Rich say goodbye. Joyce is wearing a full coat and the newest fad, the stole. Rich has on a woolen jacket with white leather strips, another new fashion.
