Ex Libris Published by the ASSOCIATED STUDENTS of MONROE UNION HIGH SCHOOL MONROE, WASHINGTON M U H I T V F. FOREWORD Before the glass of pub- lication, trained across the plains of time, is held in review again the cara- van of yesterday, present- ing to you a record of Monroe, a chronicle of her history mirrored in this written record, which is an outgrowth of the advancement in commun- ity educational facilities. 7 his record preserves in part thoughts which in days to come will be fond memories — memories of carefree student days— memories of hearty friend- ships and achievements. Two M U H 1 T Y E DEDICATION Mr. Henry C. Frohning. for years a faithful servant of his community, has en- tered a new kingdom, a realm of wisdom far higher than ours. It is he to whom we dedicate this volume, perpetuating by our memory of him the dauntless courage of his fathers—the pioneers— with the hope in mind that we may more fully appreciate the legacy they have left us—the bequest of liberty, justice and op- portunity forever. Three 3n jHeimuiam With due reverence and respect for the greater things of life, we pause a moment to pay just trib- ute to the indomitable courage of the pioneers, the men who sought not the fountain of youth nor the river of gold, but life, peace and happiness for themselves and their pos- terity. MUHI T Y E HISTORICAL FLICKERS To the hurrying traveler, to the casual passerby, and in many cases to the resident, seldom comes the thought of the various stages of devel- opment and the periods of transforma- tion through which the City of Monroe has passed in reaching the present high state of utility, wealth and beauty among the cities of Snohomish County. One of the most interesting facts per- taining to the history surrounding the present City of Monroe is the evolution of names through which it has passed in attaining the title it now holds. It has held at one time or another the names of Park Place, Monroe, Wales, Tye, and again Monroe, as will be seen in the following history. It was in 1870 when a certain Salem Woods, after trekking into this valley of wonderful beauty and fertility, at- tempted to start a settlement at the forks of the Skykomish and Snoqual- mie rivers. He called it Park Place, and the name still holds today. How- ever. he was not to be called the ‘ father’ of Monroe, for it was not until October, 1889, when J. A. Va- nasdlen had started the first store at Park Place that the spot was known to the outside world. The first postoffice was given the name Monroe with Mr. Vanasdlen as postmaster. During the years 1889 to 1891 Monroe, or Park Place as it was then called, business firms consisted of the Ladd Eliot Hotel, the blacksmith shop of George Beton, the grocery store of J. W. Hal vert, the Shannahan 8c Chitwood Butcher Shop and the John Johnson Hotel. First to actually locate Monroe, J. A. Vanasdlen was also the first to re- locate in the new site. Here he and John Stretch platted the new town which was called Wales by the Great Northern authorities, but which was changed to Tye City, for the man who, he says, was the real locating engi- neer of the Great Northern Railway. This town, platted on the homestead of John Stretch, thrived steadily until the depression of 1893 when the gen- eral development was halted for a few years. About 1891 a fire destroyed the en- tire business block of Monroe at an ap- proximate loss of $36,700; the build- ings were restored at once. Then in 1902 the town was incorporated in the name of Monroe. Within the next I 5 years its population grew to about 1,500, five times the population at the time of its incorporation. Monroe is the natural gateway to the majestic Cascades from the west and a gateway to Puget Sound and the Pacific from the east; it has within a radius of a few miles a variety of scen- ery, natural resources and natural transportation facilities as can scarcely be found elsewhere. Five C. E. TAYLOR MEMBER OF SCHOOL BOARD MESSAGE The people of the commu- nity, through their chosen representatives, the school board, provide buildings, equipment and books for the students—a slight part in the scheme of education. The school board in turn hopes that the students can and will make the most of these mater- ial things in building up higher ideals and developing better citizenship. Six M U H 1 T Y E Seven H. L. SQUIBB SUPERINTENDENT The body and the mind, the soul and the intellect are alike our concern. We have tried to provide only those things that con- tribute to normal life and bodily vigor; to moral and mental strength and integrity. We hope that through the experiences of life in high school you have acquired habits and ideals that will help you meet the future needs of life more fully and upon a higher level. PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE MARGUERITE REARDON PRINCIPAL The modern high school is one of the greatest opportunities and privileges offered to boys and girls. With this opportunity and privilege goes one responsibility. It is the requirement that you make good use of your opportunity by turning it to account in the development of yourself through the de- velopment of all the characteristics that go toward making honorable and worthy citi- zens of a community and nation.

After progressing steadily for the last four years of their journey, that has been marked by scholastic and so- cial achievements, the class presents to you a review of the past four seasons of their experiences. The discoverers of the West gath- ered around their worthy scouts, Mr. Howell and Mr. Osborn, to bid them their last farewell, and sighting within the rays of the setting sun a radiant beam of glory that had followed them from the first stride of advancement. The sun was sinking, but not on the hopes and aspirations of the class of 32. The pioneers’ last three settlements took the name of settlement 29, 30, 31. In each of these settlements a number of events occurred during their history. In the settlement of 29 the historical events were a St. Patrick’s Day pro- gram, an initiation by some pioneers that were accustomed to the West, and lastly a picnic at Lake Stevens. In the next settlement which was 30, a Christmas tree was presented to the other three surrounding settlements, a Lincoln Day program, honors were won in inter-settlement track meets and the annual picnic was the last happening. When the ’3 I year was over the fol- lowing events had taken place: A Junior-Senior banquet, a play It Hap- pened In Hollywood,” and trailing this, a picnic. Now that the settlement of 32 is ready to list its happenings the follow- ing events will be named: A sen- sational play, directed by the loyal scout, Mr. Howell, The Haunted House, the settlements rings and pictures, the annual ball. Sneak Day, Class Week, with Class Day and Night and the final meetings. Baccalaureate and Commencement. Now that you have heard the past pioneer days we will turn a few pages ahead and see what those heroic pion- eers of 32 are now doing. Listen and you shall learn their fate.

The girls also showed athletic ability in their gymnasium classes. There were many boys and girls in I heir respective glee clubs, of which Guy Fields and Ray Olson were se- lected to sing in the Boys’ Quartet and La Donna Watkins was selected to sing in the Girls’ Trio. Of these people. Guy Fields, Ray Olson, La Donna Watkins and Margaret Isacson were selected to be in the operetta.

Those in the Junior Class belonging to the Torch Society are Elvera Jacob- son, Marion Hewitt, Leroy Drew, Clive Countryman, La Donna Watkins, Lois Pownall, Jay Lanning, Ella Micheau, Edna Stucky, Melvin Mullet and Kath- aryn Shrum. The most interesting event of the year was the Junior play “Apple- sauce,’’ which was very successfully given on March 4. Its success was fur- thered by Mr. Norman Howell’s ex- cellent direction and the brilliant act- ing of the cast. Most attractive of all was the last event of the year, the Junior-Senior banquet, when we bade farewell to the Seniors. The committees and chair- men in charge were: Decorating, Kathryn Shrum; silver and table- cloths, La Donna Watkins; dishes. El- vera Jacobson; costumes. La Verne Fleming! program and invitations, Margaret Isacson, and putting up tables. Jack Orr. The banquet room was beautifully decorated in bi-centen- nial style with a white ceiling and red, white and blue sides. The tables were attractive in that they carried out the same idea, having hatchet place cards, cherry tree stumps for favors and sil- houettes of Washington for menus.

The class was fortunate in having Mrs. Young and Mr. Sackett designated as their advisors, under whose sponsor- ship the class got off to a flying start at the very beginning of the school year. This exemplary pace was maintained throughout the year by the class, in scholastic as well as in extra-curricular activities, bringing to it the favorable recognition of the entire school. Many of the class took part in ath- letics. Seven girls won their class nu- meral awards. They were: Ovidia Kor- stad, Gertrude Cook, Lillie Schwartz, Caroline Nelson, Bessie Barker, Ruth Bevensee and Irene Trombley. Jane Swan, one of the school yell leaders, was a member of this class, which was also represented in the Booster Club by Alma Dahl, Bessie Barker and Jane Swan. The class was not without able re- presentatives in the field of scholarship. In their studies they showed their ability. Nine students who have been successful in making the points neces- sary for membership in their first year in high school, were initiated into the Torch Honor Society. They were: Ruth Bevensee, Harriet Norberg, Ida Bloor, Ellen Jensen, Esther Jenkins, Jewell Countryman, Helen Rosenzweig, Mary Layne and Ted Biderbost. In all the high school entertainment they had an active share. Ten members participated in the music given by the boys and girls glee clubs and orches- tra. Lillian Parker, by making a poster and a panel for the scene from Hamlet, contributed to publicity and art. Bill Owens, from manual training assisted with staging and Bessie Barker, Marion Fuller and Helen Rosenzweig took part in the folk dances. The sophomore boys who earned letters in football and basketball were: Ellery Jellison, Eric Holmback, Ted Biderbost, Lewis Broughton, Bill Owens, Vernon Broughton. Ellery Jellison also played doubles in tennis. Darrell Santose of this class was one of the best pole vaulters of the school. First team players from this class, in girls speedball, volley ball and basket ball, were Ruth Bevensee, Irene Trom- bley, Ovidia Korstad, Gertrude Cook, Lillie Schwartz and Bessie Barker. The sophomore girls served at the annual Junior-Senior banquet held May 1 3, dressed appropriately in keep- ing with the Washington bi-centennial theme of the banquet. The girls who served were Bessie Barker, Jane Swan, Ruth Bevensee, Alma Dahl, Marion Fuller, Esther Jenkins, Ovidia Korstad, Lillie Schwartz. Helen Rosenzweig and Tressie Speaks.

These students were ably assisted in organizing by their advisors. Miss Marion Clark, Miss Fsther Mehner and Mr. Glen Trail. The Freshmen outshone the upper classes by obtaining more places on the honor roll than any other. Those acquiring the highest places were: Jane Lund, Ellen Holmback, Filomena Gus- tino and Vivian Rocks. Many boys took part in the var ou3 athletics and Lee Orr succeeded in win- ning a letter in football. There was also a good turnout of the Freshmen for the county tennis meet. Several of the girls won places on the county all-star teams and they hope in the fu- ture to win honors for themselves and their school. Among the class many members dis- tinguished themselves by dancing, speaking and other arts. Filomena Gustino won several prizes given by the state with her outstanding work of art. Pablo Mendoza, a talented violin- ist, performed at a number of enter- tainments during the year. Almost half of the boys in the class took up agriculture. These boys helped to organize a basket ball team, with Mr. Trail as instructor, and they won a few games from the midgets. At the Agricultural Banquet, Dick Watson gave a speech on the work of the Fu- ture Farmer s Association. At the all-high school play parts were taken by Caroll Barlow, Douglas Swanson, Ernest Keck, Edward Hollier and Jack Howard. The Freshman contribution to the Christmas program was a speech by Jane Lund and several violin selections by Pablo Mendoza. 'The class of 1935 was more than average and will continue to be so, predicted Thelma Olson, the class prophet, at the all-high school get-to- gether held in the Autumn. At the same affair Betty Lane tap danced. The class, with their advisors, cele- brated the finish of an eventful year by holding a picnic at Lake Stevens. The day was spent in such enjoyments as boating, swimming and consuming a delicious lunch. With the representation of the class in practically every activity on the extra-curricular roster of the school, it has been the combined wish of the class to follow in the footsteps of the upper classes in extending and devel- oping, to the fullest extent, the inter- ests of the students in their school. The aim of the class next year will be to make even more outstanding the class of '34 among its fellows. Twenty-one MUH1 T Y E AN APPRECIATION Mr. Draper, though a part of the school system for the first time this year, has proven to be an individual of high merit to that organization, for all those with whom he daily comes in contact. His willingness and capa- bility in answer to every distress call has won for him common favor. In the greater development of the school his services have been very essential and his aptitude always welcome. This opportunity is taken to express sincere gratitude to “Bill for his splen- did service and kindnesses on behalf of the students. W.

In every way it seemed the Bearcats were better than in former years. They fought harder against bigger teams, they fought cleaner, and in return received the hearty support of the whole town as well as the school. Their new coach, Mr. Manley Sack- ett, gave them coaching which belies the results of the season from the num- ber of games won. With his tactics and support and the spirit of the play- ers a team was molded capable of mak- ing any school proud. Future possi- bilities for a “winner” next year are greatly due to the wealth of exper- ienced players left. The first game was played at Both- ell. The Bearcats lost, 6-0. Bothell scored their lone touchdown with a forward pass late in the fourth quarter. The Bearcats won the second game played with Marysville at Monroe. They looked like a championship club and were well on their way for a sec- ond score when the final whistle blew. On October 16 Monroe took the Snoqualmie eleven into camp on their home grounds. Again the Bearcats showed real fight by scoring three times while Snoqualmie did not even threaten to score. One week later, October 23, the Bearcats and the Cubs defeated the East Stanwood team on the Stanwood field. The Bearcats started the game while the Cubs finished it. When the final whistle blew the score was 20-6. On October 30 the Bearcats played Stanwood at Monroe. The Bearcats put up a real fight in this game but lacked the punch for a touchdown. When the game ended the score was 6-0 in favor of Stanwood. On November 6 Monroe met an old rival at Monroe. This game was played in a sea of mud. Monroe played a good game against the Panthers. Snohomish earned one touchdown while the other two came on breaks, which made the final score 1 8-0. One week after this Monroe jour- neyed to Edmonds. The Bearcats did not show any first class ball that day, although it was a good game from the sidelines. Monroe lost, 6-0. Thanksgiving Day, as some of the boys had not had enough football, the Bearcats met some of the former Bear- cats. Monroe showed these former Bearcats how the youngsters of today play ball. The high school was out- weighed but not outplayed. The final score of the final game was High School, 13; Alumni. 0. Judging on the basis of number of games won and the support of the team, Monroe has a bright outlook for future years. Twenty-five Second Row (left to right)—Dahl, Owens, C. Countryman, V.

Monroe 22 M U H I T Y E Twenty-six The 1932 basket ball season of Monroe can be classed as the most un- usual season they have ever had. They played ten conference games and a few games with teams not belonging to the conference. Each one of these games that the Bearcats went into was played with the true Bearcat spirit and the opposing teams all realized the feel of ’Cat claws. Sixteen young men turned out for basket ball. Coach Manley Sackett drilled these men especially hard be- cause most all of them had just fin- ished a hard season on the gridiron and only a few had any experience as hoop- sters. A big handicap was realized by the boys who were playing a new game in which their rough tactics could not be used. Despite this drawback they made untiring efforts and later on de- veloped into a good basket ball team, a group of hard fighters. Lettermen being lost by graduation in 1931 left only one first team man of experience to build on, Ejnar Johnson. The boys who turned out are as fol- lows: Ejnar Johnson, guard, who played a close checking game; Oscar Starlund, guard, and also a good checker; forwards: Donald Kennon, Ellery Jellison, Albert Simmons, Wil- liam Crockett, Vernon Broughton and Norman White, all of whom were reg- ular basket pluggers; Jack Orr, a tall young man who took care of the cen- ter post in fine style. The second team players were: Ray Dahl, Richard Watson, Lee Orr, guards; Lewis Broughton, William Owens and Edgar Rogers, forwards, and Clive Country- man, center. Several second string players show great promise for future teams. Under the supervision of Coach Sackett these boys played clean, hard basket ball. Most of the boys who turned out this year were Sophomores and Juniors, so next year's team will have many ex- perienced players on which to build. Three boys, Donald Kennon, Norman White and Ejnar Johnson, were lost by graduation. Monroe Union High School was a member of the A” basket ball league. Other school members were: Snohom- ish, Arlington, Everett, Edmonds and Marysville. Monroe played each school twice during the season, but due to the inexperience of the players and poor luck, she won only one game, and that from Marysville. The Bearcat quin- tet played a defensive game far su- perior to their offensive tactics and high hopes for the future lie in the ef- fects of this year's training to be shown next year. Twenty-seven Second Row (left to right)—Gardner, Hallstrom, Starlund. First Row (left to right) — White, Smith, Burns, Reaper. TENNIS The tennis squad was under the di rection of Superintendent H. L. Squibb. Mr. Squibb having coached tennis for several years in the Yakima valley and being an excellent player himself is well acquainted with the finer points of the game and possesses the ability to give his knowledge to others. Noting the wealth of material in the first turnout of the season. Coach Squibb expressed high hopes of the squad s enjoying a favorable season. Those answering the call for tennis were: Lyle Reaper, three-year letter- man in singles; Roy Hallstrom, two year letterman in singles; Norman White, three-year letterman in doubles; Oscar Starlund. two-year letterman in doubles; Ellery Jellison, one-year let- terman in doubles; Bud Rogers, Lee Orr, Vernon Broughton, Glen Gard- ner, Clive Countryman, Sidney John- son, Carroll Barlow, Earnest Keck, Stanley Byrns, Gordon Dotson, Swen Olsen, Bob McCord and Ray Dahl. Before the county meet in May, practice games were held with the dif- ferent teams in the county, giving the contestants experience and a general idea of the opposition to be expected at the county meet. Twenty-eight Left to Right—Mr. Sackett, Hollier, McPoland, White, Fields, L. Orr, Simmons, Holm- back, Parker, J. Orr, L. Smith, Kennon, McKenzie, Farmer, Crockett. TRACK Coach Manley Sackett called his track squad together in the latter part of March. His call was answered by a number of young Spartans, but due to adverse weather conditions and the lack of a suitable track the boys were somewhat handicapped in their activ- ity. However, due to the good coach- ing and the determination of the track men a firm foundation was established for future winning track teams of Mon- roe High School. Just as the Muhi Tye went to press M onroe had taken part in the county track meet at Everett, in which George Simmons placed second in the broad jump and Jack Orr placed fourth in the 440-yard dash. Coach Sackett said “that despite the weather and con- dition of the track there is excellent material that should develop into point winners before the season ends. The first meet of the season was April 16, a triangular meet with Sul- tan, Edmonds and Monroe at Sultan, at which Monroe garnered I 8 points. Though only a mediocre track was at the use of the track men, a newly planned athletic field is expected to be constructed at the first of next year with an excellent track, a new base- ball diamond and football fields.

The sports, sports days, and awards of the girls were regulated by the Snohomish County Girls’ Athletic Association, of which Monroe has been a member since its organization in 1926. Al- though no exhibition games are al- lowed for the girls the activity was de- cidedly an important one as may be seen by the number who enjoyed its benefits. The five sports of the girls were speedball. volley ball, baseball, track and tennis, the latter three being car- ried on simultaneously the last part of the year. The fall sport was speedball, man- aged by Uvona McCormick and Bessie Barker. The playing season was drawn to a close October 19 by a sports day at Sultan, in which Lucille Smith and Evelyn Theiss received all- star team honors. Then in the spring season, followed baseball, track and tennis. As the Tye goes to press nothing definite has been done in any of these sports. The award system in girls’ athletics is made standard throughout the county by the Snohomish County Girls’ Athletic Association, mentioned above. The first award in girls' athletics is an orange on black numeral given for 500 points; the second, an orange on black “M for 1000 points; the third, a black on orange M” for 1500 points; thq fourth, a gold pin given for 2000 points and last an orange and tan felt pollow, given for 2500 points. Points are given for positions on teams, all-star team ratings, hikes, health charts and exercises. Recently started is a Girls M club, somewhat similar to the Boys “M” club. It includes Lucille Smith, Dorothy Bump, Evelyn Theiss, Mildred Byrns, Marjorie Donovan, Leona Jones, Inez Haberly, Uvona McCormick and Vera Nelson, who have won “M s in their gymnasium work. Following this season of outdoor sport came volley ball carried on in the gymnasium. It was managed by Leona Jones and Gertrude Cook. It was drawn to a close by another sports day held January 10 at Arlington. Monroe again placed twice in the all- star team, with Ovidia Korstad and Marjorie Donovan. The Snohomish County Girls Ath- letic Association includes all schools in the county and provides a uniform grading and award system for all the members. It was originated in 1926 and has proven quite successful. It advocates girls sports as a means of strict physical development instead of a revenue-producing activity.

WEARERS OF THE “M” The club was under the supervision of Coach Manley Sackett, who helped formulate plans to make the club one of the most active in school. The club was organized for the purposes of arousing interest in athletics and to de- velop friendliness and good sportman- ship among the members. The duties of the club were to take charge of equipment issued to those turning out for athletics; to take charge at all games in which the club is repre- sented- and to interest others into qualifying for membership. To become a full fledged member of the club one had to win a first team letter in one of the athletic events in which the school participated; he must have had a favorable scholastic stand- ing and he had to be recognized by the older members of the organization. The plans were to let those who are working for first team awards join the club and be junior members. It was presumed that would arouse more in- terest and bring about more qualifica- tions for membership. The qualifications for officials were that all must have favorable scholastic standings; the president must be a member of the senior class; vice-presi- dent must be a member of the junior class. The other officials, secretary, treasurer and sergeant-at-arms may be represented from any of the classes. Thirty -two MUHI T Y E Thirty-three “CRAZY QUILT REVUE” An all-high school entertainment “The Crazy Quilt Revue” was pre- sented by the students in the auditorium on January I 4. This entertaining vaudeville show coached by the various departmental instructors of music, girls’ athletics and dramatics, included: A Russian Phan- tasy by the Girls' Glee club; plantation melodies by the Boys’ Glee club; folk dances by the girls’ gymnasium classes and three short skits, “Patent Medi- cine.” a comedy of the South; The Shooting of Dan McGrew,” a panto- mime of four hands; “Hamlet,” the grave diggers scene. “THE HAUNTED HOUSE” The first important dramatic event of the year and one well received by the audience in attendance was the senior play “The Haunted House,” a mystery play particularly suited for presentation on the eve before Hal- lowe’en, October 30. The cast, directed by Mr. Howell, was as follows: Morgan, Francis Barter; Emily, Lucille Smith; Jack, Don Knapp; Thomas, Robert Smith; Dun- can, Norman White; Helen, Uvona Mc- Cormick; Isabelle, Ramona Brown: Ezra, Bill Bratton; Ed, Roger Bailey; Grogan, Robert Meek; Evans, Nor- man Hartzell. Thirty-four “APPLESAUCE” “Applesauce, a humorous play of modern life, was presented by the Junior class March 4, with seven mem- bers of the class in the cast. The play was very well acted and well received by a large audience of students and townspeople. The story of the play surrounded a well-meaning mother and father of a girl whom they were striving to persuade to marry a young man of their choice. She did become engaged to Rollo, but broke off in favor of Bill, who, against popular opinion, turned out to be an excellent provider. The play was ap- propriately titled from Bill’s chief stock-in-trade “Applesauce” (in other words, a cheerful optimism) which did in the end win for him all the essentials of life, even a girl. It was through the clever application of this personal at- tribute that also reversed the un- complimentary regand his uncle had held for him. Hazel Robinson was played by Margaret Isacson; Bill McAllister, Har- old Sandberg; Rollo Jenkins, Jay Lan- ning; Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, Guy Fields and LaDonna Watkins; Uncle Matt McAllister, Sidney Johnson- and Mrs. Jennie Baldwin, who was respon- sible for most of the humor of the play, Helen Johnson. The excellent manner in which the play was presented was due to the very good direction of Mr. Norman Howell, dramatic instructor in the high school. Thirty-five “PICKLES” The last dramatic event of the year, the operetta “Pickles, was presented at the high school April 22, by the combined efforts of both the boys’ and girls’ glee clubs, and the orchestra. The part of Ilona, the gypsy girl, was played by Margaret lsacson; Jigo the chieftan, Sidney Johnson; Lady Vivian deLancy, mother of Ilona, LaDonna Watkins; Mr. Pennington, the wealthy pickle manufacturer, Guy Fields; his daughter, June Pennington, Jane Swan; the American artist, Arthur Crefont, Ray Olson; J. Jennison Jones, Don Green; Kinski, the chief of police, Harry Prochaska. Emma Peterson was in the role of Louisa the waitress. Hans Maier, proprietor of the Wurtzelpraeter Inn was Edgar Rogers; Bumpski and Rumpski, the two dectectives, were Jack Howard and Dan Donovan. Wait- ers were Frederick Rosenzweig, Ed Hollier and Caroll Barlow. Betty Lane was the dancer. The American tourists, Viennese girls, gypsies and policemen, were taken by members of the boys’ and girls glee clubs. The high school or- chestra furnished the accompaniments to songs, with Annie lsacson at the piano. The story was a delightful double romance, carried on before an artistic background of gypsy and Viennese beauty with clever songs and light humor as a supplementary touch. “Pickles’’ successfully climaxed another year’s work on the part of the com- bined glee clubs. The cast and chorus was ably in- structed through all their practices by Miss Torey, music supervisor and Mr. Howell, dramatic instructor.

MUHI TYE STAFF In making up the “Tye , the whole staff worked together, pooling indivi- dual effort, ideas, and energy to make a publication worthy of the school. The work fell in three groups, the editorial, photographic and business divisions, each with separate work to do, but all necessary for the production of the annual. The advertising managers. Helen Johnson, Elvera Jacobson, with Marie Clancy the business manager, made the rounds of the business houses on Tues- day and Thursday noons to secure ad- vertising. A new plan was originated and used this year for additional ads. The manual training boys made a bul- letin board, painted orange and black, upon which the names and slogans of each advertiser were pasted. This was placed in a conspicuous spot for everyone to see. Besides this, each firm was accorded an advertisement in the annual with the firm slogan. The staff wishes to take this oppor- tunity to thank those students who have made this book possible through the contribution of their time and en- ergy, and to the school patrons for their advertising.

TORCH SOCIETY The Torch Society is an organization established to promote good fellowship among the students who are interested in the pursuit of knowledge, to encour- age scholarship by recognition of merit, and to foster good citizenship. The four points which are standards of the Torch are leadership, scholarship, char- acter and service. The Torch Society in this school is an outgrowth of the National Torch Society, which elects 1 5 per cent of the upper 25 per cent of the students. It was organized in Mon- roe 10 years ago. Monroe was the first school in the county, and among the first in the state to foster this or- ganization. Last fall the society began its tenth year in Monroe high school under the supervision of Mrs. M. Reardon. The annual initiation was held November 1 7 in the auditorium, at which 1 1 seniors received the gold torch pin, 1 I juniors, the two-bar pin, and nine sophomores the one-bar pin. The initi- ation program included musical num- bers, an address by the Reverend Allen, the presentation of the pins and the charge and response. President ..... Vice President Secretary .....

BOARD OF The Board of Control is the Advis- ory Council to the Student Association. It is composed of the president, vice- president, secretary, treasurer and man- ager of the student body, the principal of the high school and a boy and girl representative from each class. Interest in student government and in all student activities increased by leaps and bounds over the interest displayed during previous years, due to the innovation of the newer Student Council plan. CONTROL Under this newer system of control the student association inaugurated and participated in several notworthy movements during the year. One of the most successful of these was the in- stitution of Monrovian Day at which students assumed official control of the city. The others were the represent- ation of the student body at the annual leaders conference at Seattle, the estab- lishment of the student book store, and the revision of the constitution of the student association.

DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic club of the Monroe Union high school was organized early in the school year by a group of stu- dents interested in that activity. The club was founded upon the worth-while aims of furthering the per- sonal developments of students partici- pating in the activities of the club and to create a liking among the students of the high school, for the best forms of the drama. Gaining impetus from the first meet- ings, the members increased rapidly, until at the end of the year, there were about 30 members. The club aided in the production of the all-high school entertainment The Crazy Quilt Revue, which was given January I 4. In addition to this, a dra- matic play, The Finger of God,” was presented to the school at the annual Christmas program. The club’s main activity for the year was to aid in the presentation of high school entertainments. During the year it was discussed as to whether the club should join the National Thespians, which is a national dramatic society. It was decided, however, to leave this matter until a later year, and for the present, design the local club somewhat according to that of the national or- ganization.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Future Farmers of America dis- placed the old Agricultural club in 1931, when the club was reorganized as a chapter of the nation-wide organi- zation. The local chapter has its own constitution and manages its own af- fairs. The purpose of the organization is to supplement toe work in agricult- ure and to make it more interesting. All boys who study agriculture in high school are eligible to become members, but only those who pay dues are con- sidered as such. The Future Farmers were well repre- sented at most of the fairs last fall, and won several high places. The potato- judging team, including Sidney John- son. Melvin Mullet and William Hege- wald. with Clive Countryman as alter- nate, won a loving cup, high honor, three first places, two second places and one third place at the various fairs. Three Future Farmers, Lyle Smith, Bruno Roselli and Sid Johnson, repre- sented Monroe at the tenth Agricult- ural Conference at Pullman, where the boys listened to lectures and inspected projects of agricultural interest.

BOYS’ AND GIRLS’ CLUBS BOYS' CLUB The Boys’ club is an organization to which all the boys in school belong, the purpose of which is to bring them close together into a friendly, demo- cratic, cooperative group. The most outstanding work done by the club this year wa9 the completing of the contsruction and furnishing of the boys’ recereation room. It is there the boys eat their noon-day lunches and, with the spare time they have, make use of the gymnasium equipment and ping pong table with which the room has been outfitted. GIRLS’ CLUB The Girls’ club was organized in Momoe High school eight years ago, under the leadership of Miss Helen Himes, then the Girls' club advisor. No special qualifications were required for membership, but every girl auto- matically joined the club upon entering high school. The purpose of the club was to bring about cooperation and friendliness among the girls and to provide a work- ing unit for projects. The club believes in democracy, simplicity of dress and manner and refinement, encouraging interest and participation in school affairs. OFFICERS Boys Girls Ejnar Johnson ..................

GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls Glee club this year was made up of 57 girls and the accompan- ist, Maragaret Isacson and the director. Miss Torrey. Like the other organizations of the school the glee club organized and elected officers. Margaret Isacson was elected president and Edna Borlin, secretary. The primary objects of the glee club were to develop good voices and learn the appreciation of music. In addition to the regular class work the glee club has appeared at several assemblies and evening functions of the high school. At the all-high school entertainment they sang several select- ions which included “In Luxembourg Gardens,” “Dark Eyes,” “Roses of Piccardy, “Fair Wind and Weather.” The operetta chorus was also chosen from the glee club. This years girls’ trio was made up of the same members as was last years . The trio consists of LaDonna Watkins, soprano; Dagmar Johnson, second so- prano; Ramona Brown, alto. A triple trio was formed which sung at Baccalaureate and graduation exer- cises. The entire group combined with the Boys’ Glee club to sing at these exrcises also.

BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The Boys Glee club, as one of the major activity organizations of the high school, was organized immediately after the opening of school, under the direction of Miss Mary Torrey. This year the club included more members than it has had for several years. They appeared at the annual Christ- mas program, Crazy Quilt Revue, and the high school operetta, 'Pickles.' The boys’ quartet, made up of Guy Fields, first tenor; Ray Olson, second tenor; Delbert Howell, baritone and Roger Bailey, bass, was chosen about the middle of the first semester. At the beginning of the new semester the boys decided to combine the mem- bers of the organization into a club and elect officers. Roger Bailey was chose.i president; Edgar Nixon, secretary and Ernest Keck, vice-president. During the year the classes enjoyed several programs, given both by their own members and by members of the Girls Glee club. Combining with the Girls Glee club, the Boys’ Glee club helped to form the large choir which sung for Baccalaure- ate on the night of May 29. As the last public gesture of the school year, the boys again combined with the Girls Glee club on graduation, June 2, to sing the Senior processional.

ORCHESTRA The high school orchestra, despite the lack of size, under the able leader- ship of Miss Torrey, proved to be a very popular group at the numerous high school functions at which the or- ganization appeared during the course of the year. The orchestra was composed of four violins, two C melody saxophones, one “D” flat tenor saxophone, three clarinets and one trombone, with the accompanist. The orchestra rendered several se- lections at the different school func- tions. They played at both senior and junior plays and the high school benefit movies. At the all-high school enter- tainment, “The Crazy Quilt Revue,’ the orchestra played a group of select- ions which were arranged around the following pieces, “High School Ca- dets,” ‘Washington Post March,” “Belle of Chicago,” and “I'm Sorry Dear. To this last selection a girls trio of Jane Swan, Dagmar Johnson and Ramona Brown sang an accom- paniment. The last appearance of the orchestra, prior to the closing of school, was at the high school operetta, “Pick- les, to which they played the ac- companying music. The orchestra complied cheerfully at all times with their directors, meeting once a week before school for the en- tire school year.
