The Associated Student Body Monroe, Washington CRAIG CURRIE . 2 Dedication SM- n y JLnnuals have been dedicated to what or whoever has been the guiding force or power affecting most the students comprising the graduating class of that year. This year, we, the student body, the editors, writers, copyists, typists, and the class of 46 as a whole who are the producers of this annual are an extremely lucky group in that our exit from high school will be heralded by peace not war. The power of peace, its joys and the triumphs which it makes pos- sible is now ours. To keep the peace and find our place in a land that can have good will and fellowship without prejudice and hate as poisons to undermine our structure is our goal. A good start, the proper foun- dation for realization of that goal is necessary to eventual success and happiness. We owe much to the work of Miss Wicklund, to her personal attention and the aid given unselfishly to each and all of her pupils. The success she attained is evident in the praise and heartfelt gratitude of the severest critics, the students themselves. Affectionately called Wicky out of hearing. Miss Wicklund has provided in herself the most unforgetable and impressionable person- abity of our high school career, her teaching and charm will remain with us. This annual is dedicated with sincere affection to Miss Louise Wick- lund, our teacher, advisor, and friend. Fo re wo rd We offer this volume to the Monroe student body in the fervent hope that it captures the spirit of the past year and crystallizes into permanence vivid memories . . . that football game, the Senior Ball, classes, the Northwest Regional Basketball Championship, the Junior Prom . . . memories of Monroe High School of 1945-46. This year has marked a new beginning in our future: it is the first year of peace. Through the sacrifices of former students who have served and who are serving their country, through our high school experiences, we have learned to understand the meaning and principles of Democracy. It is up to us to see that these principles are maintained and nurtured. In this year of 1946, we have strived to make the “Hayu Saghalie” a more ambitious annual and have attempted to contribute something more substantial to school life. We hope that in the future this effort will be challenged and improved upon. We have tried to give you a panorama of high school life, which in years to come may serve as a pleasant stimulus to the recollection of some of our fullest and hap- piest days. 6 7 Superintendent’s Message The war is over and we can look forward with hope to a future of peace and good will among all people. I believe the future of America will always be found in the hearts of its young people. The ideals that become a part of their lives will determine whether this nation will endure as a democracy. As we teachers lose the Seniors with each graduating class, we can only hope we have given them strength to carry on, courage to stand for what is right, knowledge to live successfully with their fellow beings, and a faith in-God and their fellow men. If we have been able to do this in some small degree with the majority of them, we feel that the future is secure and that our work has been well done. H. L. Squibb, Superintendent. Your education is just started. The essentials for learning are taught in schools, hut the application of these basic tools in solving problems of your everyday experiences becomes your education. Learning is a continuous process, and the residue of your experiences is your education. If you leave this school with a fair measure of ability to apply the fundamentals learned in school to your later experiences, your education will continue. The school, then, will in a large part have fulfilled its obligation to you and to society. Delos Wesley, Assistunt Superintendent. In the years to come, this annual will remind you of your friends and the experi- ences you had when you were a student in Monroe High School. Never again will you be able to repeat these experiences or meet all of these friends. Cherish this annual for it is the key to reliving a school year, and while you are, may my best wishes be with you. E. A. Duyff, Principal. 9 MR.

Many of the activities of preceding years that were hindered by the war were once again brought to light this year with the advent of peace. Projects, excursions, and pro- grams that throughout the war were merely the dreams of mid-day mediators have been started on the road to reality and achievement. The item of greatest importance affecting the students has been the work done in promoting the lighting of our local athletic field. It is hoped that through the combined efforts of the council and the represented the projects can be completed by the termina- tion of this school year. Aside from that and the regular governing functions of the student council, two trips, one a bus tour which included visits to Stanwood's Twin Cities and Snohomish's “Panther High School, and another to the Student Leaders' Conference in Everett, contributed in establishing better relations and in exchanging ideas among the various high schools of our locality. 12 j 5£ Bearcat” Diary Sept. 5—First day of school.

Taking top honors in our sophomore year, we were presented with the Scholarship Plaque. The class officers were: Calvin Davis, president: Jack Law, vice-president; Mary Ann Oman, secretary; Otto Tollcfson, treasurer; Viola Peterson and Francis Morse, Board of oCntrol members. Class officers the junior year were Calvin Davis, presi- dent; Jack Law, vice-president; Gloria Pcdcrslic, secretary: Jim Keck, treasurer: Martin Hammerquist and Mary Ann Oman, Board of Control members. As juniors we took an active part in school activities, many of the clubs and organizations finding their leaders in this class. Our junior play, “You Can't Take It With You,” under the direction of Mrs. Ogden, was a tremendous success. Ticket sales marked a new high. An Hawaiian theme was used for the Junior Banquet which highlighted an entertaining and memorable evening. LcROY HESTER MARY ANN’ OMAN Prendent Wagner Award Lloyd Meeds and LeRoy Hester were the class presidents during our senior year; Jim Keck and Cliff Harvold were student body presidents, and Craig Currie and Mary Ann Oman were chosen by the faculty for the Wagner Awards. This class also has the distinction of having won the inter- class basketball championship each consecutive year of its high school career. “Ramshackle Inn, a mystery farce di- rected by Mrs. Ogden, was the senior play. A Victorian theme in a. background of pink was used for the Senior Ball. The atmosphere was that of handlebar mustaches and bustles. The dancers glided over the floor to the musical strains of Chuck Huppcrich’s Orchestra. During the course of the year Jim Keck joined the Navy V-5 program and Lloyd Meeds volunteered for the Navy. Miss Wicklund. popular and able adviser of the class of ‘46 through its entire high school life, will ever be affectionately remembered as Wicky by all members of her class.

Dale Raben. Class of '47 Having won the annual Citizenship Plaque in their sophomore year, the class of '47 continued in its junior year with even more pep and enthusi- asm. The main event at the beginning of the school term was the Junior Prom on November 21 which was the first in many years, and turned out to be a huge success. On April 11 the class play, “Life Begins at Sixteen, was given under the direction of Mrs. Ogden. It was a success both financially and in the reaction of the pleased audience. The proceeds from this play were used in giving the Junior Banquet which was held on May 17. Class officers for the year were Eddie Salvadalena, president; Calvin Boyes, vice-president; Dale Raben, secretary; Carolyn Schuler, treasurer; Board of Control, Barbara Raben and Clyde Speakes. Class advisers were Mrs. Ogden and Miss Kerr. 20 EDWIN SILER BEATRICE SENNER MARIE WIENS MARY FEDERICO GILBERT STROM GLORIA MASTERJOHN MARILYN LIND CARYL JOYCE EDWARD SALVADALENA CAROLYN SCHULER CALVIN BOYES JOAN HEIFORT SAM STUCKY BEVERLY TOLLESON GEORGE KING ELIZABETH JOHNSON JOEL SMITH VIRGINIA TROSKY DALE RABEN ELEANOR NELSON DON ROBERTSON LOIS MILLER LEONARD ANDREWS MARY JANE JOHNSON DICK STREISSGUTH GERALDINE RICCI EDWIN STENBERG BARBARA RABEN BOB STENSLAND CORA NB1FFER VICTOR CARLSON SHIRLEY TUTTLE KERMIT LUND CLARA BAXTER CLYDE SPEAKES VERNA JEAN RAMALEY PRENTICE GOODWIN IDA LOU JONES DAVE EMPFIELD EUNICE CONNELLY RICHARD ROUGHTON LAVADA MUNN LOREN ARMSTRONG BETTY MERCER ELTON GEORGE JUNE MELZIVA ROBERT ROGERS BETTE WEBSTER JOHN SCHULTZ ELLA LEE POYE CARL HERMAN CLARE ROETCISOENDER WALLACE CAUFFMAN ANNE TUCKER TED WARD MARIANNE THOMAS DENNIS McCARTY 21 Sophomore Officers GAYL SPARKS President JACK STANTON Viet President MARGIT OHRNELL Secretary'T reasurer dennis McCarthy Vice-President {Second Semester) I-'IRST ROW (TOP) Left to Right: Frank Ettcr, Dick Nelson, Raymond Waltner, Norman Walker, Bob Peterson.

Through his efforts during the year, he also has an orchestra well on the way. In addition to the appreciation we owe him for our fine band, we have also to thank him for starting the Kill rolling on getting the band uniforms, which promise to be spectacular. Looking forward to the future, Mr. Aldcn has de- veloped the desire for music down in the grades, thus insuring Monroe of a future band and orchestra. Glee Club A1LEEN LEE Vocal Music Supervisor Miss Aileen Lee has under her direction the vocal department of the entire school system. From the first grade up through high school she is known for her wonderful work in stimulating interest in music. Her first year here, Miss Lee entered a triple trio in the Western Washington Competition Festival and also in the Music Meet in Everett. The Glee Club's part in the annual Spring Concert was successfully performed under Miss Lee's baton and full credit is given to her for a most successful year. 2i Band BACK ROW (Left to Right): Dave Empfield.

All-High Talent Our student body is especially fortunate in possessing members of unusual musical ability. Eunice Connelly, unusually talented on the vio- lin, has not entertained as often as might be wished but is expected to be heard from more often in her senior year. Verna Ramaley, a junior, and Ruth Marcear, a sophomore, have joined forces and have held regular “concerts, playing duets on the piano. These girls will both return next year. Viola Peterson, graduating this year, will leave a vacant spot on the program where a song is to be sung. She has always been willing to entertain, and will undoubtedly be heard from again on the concert stages of the future. Joan Heifort, also a junior and especially gifted musically, is able to play several instruments. She excclls on the piano and usually accompanies our nightingale, Viola Peterson. The Pep Band, composed entirely of Letter- men—LcRoy Hester, Jack Law, Craig Currie and Clyde Speakes, has played often and will- ingly at school or outside functions. The first three members of this group are graduating. PEP BAND JOAN HEIFORT 28 HI-TYE VOLUME XXXVI. No. 46 MONROE HIGH SCHOOL. MONROE. WASH. JUNE 4. 1946 HITYE Another year has rolled around, and we find the old Hi-Tye in oper- ation faithfully reporting the news of the school day under the efficient leadership of Editors Frances Mead and Delores Carlson. Helen Hues has always stood ready to turn out the finished work on the mimeograph machine. Good artists and reporters have come and gone hut we have ah ways found others to complete the task. Our paper has found its way to the editing rooms of schools far and near through the exchange stystem. From these exchange papers we have gained many ideas that have helped us to better our own paper, as well as keeping us in touch with the work and activities of other schools.

They arc under the supervision of Miss Florence Wilkie, librarian. A few of the important duties involved in caring for the library are checking hx)ks in and out to students; classifying and labeling all magazines, books, encyclodepias and dictionaries; seeing that proper behavior is maintained by all using the material and that no books, either for reference or pleasure reading, are taken from the library unless they are checked out. Students doing this for the first and second semester arc: Anne Tucker, Barbara Raben, Dona Hanscy, Maisie Peck, Anna Stucky, Marium Erickson, Cora Neiffer, Betty Webster, Ida Lou Jones, Naida Lindley, Dolores Carlson, and Robert Follis. SENIOR DAY May 7, a day that dawned clear and bright, found the seniors waving a fond “avoir” to teachers and classbooks for a delightful sojourn through Bel- lingham and North to the pleasant and beautiful resort of Birch Bay. Situated a short seven miles from the Canadian border in a picturesque setting basking in a warm spring sun and gently wafted by soft-tinged breezes, the bay and various available activities combined to make an enjoyably memorable day for all.

Boys' Club Fire Squad The Boys Club began the 1945-46 school year with Jack Law at the presiding helm assisted by Jim Keck, vice president; Eugene Drugge, secretary; Bob Dyer, treasurer; Calvin Davis, senior representative; Cal Boyes, junior representative; and Dick Nelson, sophomore representative. On the occasion of Jim Keck's entry into the armed forces, Martin Hammerquist was elected vice presi- dent. Another replacement was required with Cal Davis' graduating at the half. LeRoy Hester was elected to fill his vacancy of senior representative. The Boys' Club was very active this year with meetings every second and fourth Wednesdays. It was the first organization to back the lighting of the football field. The lighting committee, under Chair- man Cliff Harvold, started the ball rolling and kept it going. Among other programs sponsored by the Boys' Club this year were Emanuel Mansfield, the Negro tenor, in a program at the Wagner Memorial Audi- torium, and various other offerings that were presented to the Boys' Club during the meetings, besides a ladder ping-pong tournament. The Fire Squad's duties are many and varied. Theirs is a vital and important cog in the machinery of school management and they have performed their task well and seriously. The members of the Fire Squad have charge of the building during fire drill, they see that all windows and doors are closed, that all other students have left the building before they themselves leave, and that all necessary precautions are taken to insure the safety of every member of the student body. EUGENE DRUGGE RECEIVES AWARD Eugene Drugge was the winner this year of a new trophy, the Bausch 6r Lomb Honorary Science Award, which is given annually to outstanding science stu- dents in secondary schools throughout the nation. The purpose of the medal is to increase interest in science by providing a national honor for high schol- arship in that field. Winners of the award are en- titled to compete for a $1,500 scholarship to the Uni- versity of Rochester. 31 Honor Society THE HONOR SOCIETY consists of those students who have achieved superiority in scholarship and have contributed special scrv- ices to the school. These students are to be recognized by their one-bar, two-bar, or gold- seal pins. Under the point system, an “A” grade has the value of live points, a ”B, three points, a “C, two points, a “D, no points, while an “X grade subtracts two points. Requirements for membership are: twenty- eight points by the end of the freshman year for a one-bar pin; fifty-eight points by the end of the sophomore year for a two-bar pin; ninety points by the end of the junior year for a gold-seal pin, and one hundred twenty-four points by the end of the senior year to retain the gold-seal. These pins which symbolize exceptional ability give the wearers a sense of leadership in the school’s extra-curricular activities and are an honor keenly felt by the students.

Their first efforts were to secure an en- graved annual with a padded cover so they signed a contract with Western Engraving Co. and made arrangements to have the Hayu Saghalie printed at the Seattle Printing Corn- pany. The padded covers were ordered—they now had completed the preliminary steps of preparation. The next step included the starting of the advertising campaign. This, under the leader- ship of Fran Mead, ably assisted by Dick Streissguth, surpassed all early expectations. Advertisers were kind and their generosity was needed to produce the annual of which the staff dreamed. At this same time the prob- lem of pictures had to be solved; Mr. Morrison and Mr. Bead handled this department most capably. The time came to start the final steps in organization. This included gathering the stor- ies on the various clubs and classes as well as mounting the numerous pictures. By April first all material was in and the staff eagerly awaited the return of the finished books. The annual staff wishes to thank Miss Dorothy Lamming particularly for the clever division pages she drew for the “Hayu-Sag- halic. The annual's success is due to the com- bined effort and the fullest cooperation of the entire staff. Hayu-Saghalie Staff CRAIG CURRIE . . . MARY ANN OMAN . . CALVIN BOYES . . . .

This organization trains boys to work together and to he democratic. It is education that produces the cooperation so necessary for successful farming. It is learning to do hy doing. All the hoys in agriculture have home super- vised projects. Our chapter owns a Ford trac- tor and all accessories. Sears Roebuck through a small project fund gave our chapter six pure- bred Chester White Gilts. Last year our chap- ter raised three acres of Alta Fescue grass seed, three acres of oats and one and a half acres of beans. Among the judging teams which have par- ticipated in various contests this year, the Monroe Agriculture department placed third in Snohomish County Crops Contest at Lake Stevens, and fifth in Seeds at Bellingham. The members of the judging team were Stan Magnuson, Gilbert Strom, Victor Carlson, Jack Law, and Calvin Davis. Calvin Davis was elected State Secretary of the F. F. A. Convention in Pullman last spring. The officers of the Monroe Chapter of the F. F.

Its member- ship consists of boys who have made their varsity letter in one of the major sports. The smoker given each year is sponsored by the Lettermen's Club and is part of the ini- tiation for the boys entering the organization. FIRST ROW (Left to RightJ: Coach Chip Chat- terton.

A special thanks should be at- tributed to them from the entire student body. Left to Right Frances Mead, Marilyn Lind, Mickey Watson. DRILL TEAM After the absence of a drill team for the last four years a group of seventeen girls were organized under the direction of Miss Good- all. The team has made its appearance at a number of out-of-town and home games. One of these performances was made at the District Meet. “Chick” Thomas is to be complimented on her work as “Drill Leader.” Left to Right: Clare Roetcisocnder, Betty Jean Strom, Mickey Turner, Virginia Trosky, Flora Jane Anderson, Rae McCorcy, Doddy Martin, Shirley Taylor.

Sitting: Micky Turner, Mary Ann Oman, Miss Wilkie, Adviser. A whirlwind of events seem to have occupied the better half of Monroe High School students this year. To acquaint the new sophomore girls with their big sisters, a Kid Party was held in the gym- nasium on September 19. Hardly had they outgrown their bibs and bonnets when they undertook the spon- sorship of a scavenger hunt and dance on November 30. The Swing Band helped put this over with a bang. When mistlc-toe time came around, the girls gave a Christmas party for the student body and even Santa found time to drop in and distribute the gifts. Before dawn even thought of cracking on the morn- ing of February 5, a delegation of four girls was on its way to Bellingham to attend a Girls Club Con- ference. As a result of listening to the woes and worries of other schools, the conclusion was reached that Monroe was well off. A Pajamboree was held in the gym on April 5 following a skating excursion to Skateland in Everett. During the year the Girls’ Club also sponsored a bas- ketball dance and exchanged programs with the Sno- homish High School Girls Club The project of the year involved the completion of the service flag which has been on the agenda for the past two years. The Girls’ Club is pleased to announce— Mission accomplished! Much credit should be given President Mary Ann Oman and her cabinet for their enthusiastic leadership and for in- itiating the new point system which is proving most popular. Office Girls Thirteen girls constituted the office force this year, with two working each of the six periods and one working before school. Various duties are performed by these girls. The major duties include: the checking of attendance, an- swering the telephone, typing business letters, using the office machines, serving as receptionists and giving helpful information to any visitors.

Football Starting the season with a full eleven man team of returning letter' men, the Bearcat gridiron squad showed themselves to he a tough, hard' fighting aggregation that finished the season at the helm of three counties, tied with another and ended in a surprising third spot in their own county. Of the nine games, the four which the team looks hack on with the most pleasant memories are the ones with Edmonds, Mt. Si, Issaquah, and North Kitsap. The Edmonds affair was a close 7'6 contest in which Monroe had been rated to lose. In a return encounter, Issaquah, who had left us at the bottom of a 20'7 score in the previous season found themselves defeated by an overwhelming 24'0 score. Mt. Si, the King County Champs in their league, met stiff competition when the orange and black Bearcats held them to a 15'13 tie on their own field. In the last game of the season, ten first string sen- iors played the best ball of the year, upsetting the Tri' SCHEDULE OAK HARBOR ISSAQUAH . MARYSVILLE ARLINGTON EDMONDS . SNOHOMISH MT. SI . . .

Two members made all-county first string this year: Jim Keck as guard and Cliff Harvold as end. Cal Boyes received second team honors as half back. Ed Salvadalena, star Bearcat guard, suffered a broken knee in the Marysville encounter, constituting thereby the worst casualty and setback of the year. 0 Coach A few words about the grand guy who's been the force behind the excellent Monroe teams, Coach Chip” Chatterton. Handling football, basketball and track, acting as head coach and all assistants, he has manager to turn out, since his entrance here two years ago, top teams in all sports. With fourteen years of coaching experience behind him. Coach or Chip as he is often called by friends—meaning all who know him—is well liked by the students and the faculty. Determined more to get all boys in action rather than run up a high score, Coach's policy of using substitutes whenever possible has induced a more avid interest in sports on the part of students and townspeople. 41 JACK LAW: Tall, lanky center, commanded the hot spot under the basket; honorary mention in all district team; team captain. HAROLD RAMALEY: Steady, dependable forward; established new state record with 58 points in “B” league tournament. LcROY HESTER: Three-year letterman; expert ball handler; fast, able player. CAL BOYES: Top scorer; all district team member; fast and tricky; a veteran junior. CHUCK WOOSLEY: Tall and big although just a sophomore, he proved himself to be a strong spot in the lineup; good shot and scrappy player. 42 DALE RABEN: Dead eye from the side; has shown he will be a strong contender for next year. FRAN MORSE: Handicapped by height, he has proven to be a strong asset to the team. CRAIG CURRIE: Playing either guard or forward, he has been a “good” boy to have around. BOB STENSLAND: Only a junior, he will be back next year to help mold another strong basketball team. NORMAN WALKER: A sophomore, he gained distinction by being on the second All-District Team; has two more years ahead of him. 4S FIRST TEAM (Top) Circle Left to Right Fran Morse, Cal Boycs, Craig Currie, Boh Stcnsland, Jack Law.

Basketball “Bearcat hoop squad wins championship! Taking first in County “B League play the Champs won eleven out of twelve en- counters, an enviable record for any team. Going on to the Northwest District Tour- nament at Stanwood, the home-town lads went through a week of tough competition undefeated. In the opening game Monroe sent Skykomish, the fourth place entry from our county down in defeat, winning easily 47-27. Sultan, our friendly rivals to the north, were the next maple court congregation to feel the fangs of the unbeatable Bearcats. The Turks, though putting on a better show than did previous contenders, couldn't match Monroe power and lost 37-32. 44 Left to Right. Dick Strcissguth, manager.

The last game of the tourney was a spectator's delight from beginning to end with the tall rangy Oak Harbor lads leading Monroe a merry chase. By the termination of the first quarter, the home club trailed at the end of a 10 to 3 score. Coming back before a wildly cheering stadiunvpacked crowd, the Bearcats gained on the Skagit County Champs narrowing the score margin 12'15. The rest of the game was a thrilling one-in-a-thousand contest with the home lads offsetting their earlier game deficit to take the lead, 23-22. In a fast last period, the now apparent victors moved on to win 32-29. With two championships tucked safely away, the high-riding Bearcat squad jour- neyed to Cheney for the State B” classic. Here at the Washington College of Educa- tion, the hosts of the Fourth State B” League Tournament, the Monroe club placed seventh among sixteen top entries. Arriving late after some travel delay, the Bearcats showed themselves a team to watch by downing Ritzville in the opening contest 44-26. However the next contest with Thorp, a small eastern Washington school of less than a twenty-boy attendance, was Monroe’s Waterloo as that unbeatable team came back to win after having the trailing edge of a 19-7 score as the halftime result. In the third contest Monroe showed the same spark as had taken them through other contests and they won from the highly touted Port Townsend five 25-20. The final game of the meet found the Bearcat congregation pitched against Castle Rock for fourth place honors. In a thrilling game that went into overtime, Monroe lost a hard fought contest, 45-43. The Monroe '45-'46 basketball season was a grand success. The first and second teams, their coach, and their manager can well be proud of their achievements. 5 TRACK A HISTORY of the preceding year, a prediction of the season yet to come, that is track's position in an annual that goes to press so early in the season. Grinding old Father Time to a standstill, turning back the pages of time, we find the Monroe Bearcat thinclads showing up very well and making a favorable record for history's pages in last year's events. The only trophy cup to be brought into Monroe's fold during that season's athletic activities came from the feats of the speedy, cndurancc'packed distance medley team at the Northwest Dis- trict Relay Carnival, April 25, 1945. Members comprising that team were in order: Speakes, 220 yard (dash): Keek, 440 yard (dash): Ramalcy, 880 yard (half mile): Harvold, 1,320 yard (three-quarter mile). One of the hoped for goals of this season is to again win this event as the cup will then re- main Monroe's for all time. Besides this two members went to the district meet. Harold Ramalcy, now a senior and still going strong, went to the district as a county representative in the javelin throw while Cliff Harvold went as a miler. From district, Harvold proceeded to the state meet for his second trip in two years and placed second in the mile, making the distance in 4:36. He's out again in this, his senior year, to make it three straight to the state. Letter winners for the '45 season were: Cauffman, dashman, 100 and 220: Speakes, dashman. 880 relay team, medley relay: Keck. 440, broad jump, high jump, 880 relay team, medley relay; Hammerquist, low hurdles, high jump; Ramalcy, 880, javelin, 880 relay, medley relay: Law, discus, shot; Stensland, shot, broad jump; Davis, pole vault; Harvold, mile, 880 relay, medley relay. 46 7 Junior Banquet THE JUNIOR BANQUET was held on April 20, 1945, preceding the Senior Ball. An Hawaiian theme was carried out in the menu as well as in the decorations. The Hawaiian native murals that adorned the walls, the tropical and lush flowers vying in hues with the formal garb of the guests made a beautifully exotic setting for the color' ful event. Craig Currie and Frances Mead were toastmaster and toastmistress respectively and performed their duties in a smooth and clever manner. Henry Hicb, the senior class president, spoke on behalf of his class, thanking the juniors for honor done through the presentation of the banquet in their behalf. The junior class president, Calvin Davis, presented Miss Kerr, the home economics teacher, the mothers who helped in preparation of the food and sophomore girls who served with gifts from the junior class in appreciation of their help. Honors go to Chairmen Mary Ann Oman and Bette Otteni, and to the entire junior class for their cooperation in making the affair such a successful and gala occasion. 48 Senior Ball THE SENIOR BALL was held on the night of April 20 ,1945, in the senior high, which was tastefully decorated for one of the most popular affairs of the high school season. With Hawaii as the colorful theme, it was an enchanting experience for all who attended. The palm trees, leis of tropical flowers and grass huts presented a beau- tiful background for “Wally's Band” which furnished the music for a most pleasant evening. Intermission was spent aboard the excursion ship the S.S. Monroe, where dainty re- rreshments were served in true nautical style. The honors go to Ottilie Neidcrlie, the chairman of the ball, and her committees for their achievements in decorating and entertaining. 49 Let’s Dance 51 R O M - THE “STAR DUST” JUNIOR PROM, pre- sented on November 20, 1945, transposed the high school gymnasium into a beautiful winter garden with large fir trees glistening in the star light. Stars glistened also on the students as they danced to the smooth music of Wally’s Band. Marilyn Lind and Craig Currie were chosen King and Queen for the evening. Six members of the Junior class assisted the general co-chairmen, Carolyn Shuler and Clyde Speakes. They were: Clare Roctcisocndcr, Caryl Joyce. Anne Tucker, Joan Hcifort, Calvin Boyes and Kermit Lund. They Whistle While They Work CLYDE PARKER, ace handy man, jack-of-all- trades, and furnace connoisseur, seems to have the amazing faculty (maybe we should call it a “sixth sense”) of knowing just where he is needed, what needs to be done and when. Ah ways willing to help in any way possible, he is well-known and well-liked by students and fac- ulty. ART BROWN is in charge of the buses. Some- times the out-of-town students may be guilty of wishing that he didn't keep the buses in such good repair, especially when there is a test first period; but all agree that they come in very handy when there is a party or football game to attend. LOUIS BARBER performs well and faithfully his job of keeping the football field and the rest of the campus mowed and in order. 53 1. ’’A huba huba huba!’’ 2. Keeping up a ’’B’’ average girls? 3.
