EX LIBRIS I I i HAYU SAGHALIE f Composed and Edited by the Associated Student Body of Monroe High School MONROE, WASHINGTON ; CALVIN BOYES.. ♦ Editor-in-Chief DICK STREISSGUTH.. ♦ Business Manager ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ATHLETICS ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVITIES SOCIAL LIFE SCHOOL LIFE ADVERTISEMENTS F 0 R E W 0 R D THIS VOLUME seeks to portray a portion of student life as experienced in Monroe High School. It does not encompass all the daily trials of our instructors nor the dynamic energy of our student body. Above all, it is not a play-by-play encyclopaedia of high school life. It is the objective of the editor and his staff to distill the essence of high school activity, to recall pleasant and vicarious experiences to the many alumni and to hoard memories for the members of the present student body of their teachers, their friends, and their school. Americans have a reputation for boastfulness. We challenge any foreign land to equal our country and we pity the bad luck of those who were born anywhere else. We are not above boasting if there is a foundation in fact; so we boast loudly our home state; and then our particular bit of it—our home town, suburb, farm, hillside, or river valley, our schools, our businesses, our fun—anything American. There arc places in the world, no doubt as fair as anything in America. But is there anywhere a piece of it that can show beauty and opportunity in such infinite variety? We know now that this country of ours is worth cherishing, serving, worthy of our faith in it; and we know now that the American—simple, proud, original, friendly, ingenious and unafraid—is today the most powerful man in the world. Also, he is having a serious love affair with his country. It is a combination that augurs well for the world, if he keeps his head. For there are two kinds of patriotism or love of country. One of them leads to war and is a kind of patriotism we cannot again afford if life is to survive on the planet. But there is a deeper, more generous form of patriotism—one young citizens must cherish and nourish. It has nothing to do with national ambition, with the covetousness whose other name is imperialism. Another nan c for it is self-respect, the simple self- respect of free men. It is rooted in strength and must be maintained by strength, pride, and the inherent creed of justice and fair play instilled in every American. It is to this belief in which we, the student body of Monroe High School, have been fostered and to our faith in America and our ultimate destiny as Americans that we dedicate this 1947 edition of the Hayu Saghalie.

I'd rather one would wall{ with me than merely tell the way. The eye’s a better a pupil and more willing than the ear. Fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clear. The best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds. For to see good put in action is what everybody needs. I soon can learn to do it if you'll let me see it done. I can watch your hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run. The lectures you deliver may be very wise and true. But I'd rather get my lessons by observing what you do. I may not understand the high advice you lil{c to give. But there’s no misunderstanding how you act and how you live. As I leave the Monroe Schools, I hope that my life among you has been worthy. At least I have tried. —H. L. Squibb 6 westerns;™, fctVlMIKlA - The Powers That Be M!ss Louise Wicklund is the English and personnel adviser.

Class of '47 IN THE FALL OF 1944, Monroe High School opened its doors to admit sixty-nine graduated freshmen, eager and anxious to enter the portals of higher education and new activities. With them, the class took their graduating motto, “I am the captain of my fate, I am the master of my oul. Under the capable leadership of Cab vin Boyes. president: Kcrmit Lund, vice-presi- dent: Dale Rabcn, secretary: and Carolyn Schuler, treasurer, the class distinguished itself with high honors by winning the scholarship plaque for the year. Serving as class officers during the junior year were Eddie Salvadalena, president: Dale Rabcn. secretary; and Carolyn Schuler, treasurer. Bar- bara Rabcn and Clyde Speakes were the junior representatives to the Student Council. The out- standing event of the class during the first semes- ter was the sponsoring of the “Stardust Junior Prom which proved to be a great success. By un- dertaking this activity, an old tradition was revived, for although the school had formerly entertained annual Junior Proms, for many years the custom had been neglected. Under the able direction of Mrs. Ogden, the Junior Class play “Life Begins at Sixteen, was presented on April II. The proceeds from the play were used in giving the annual Junior Ban- quet in honor of the Seniors, on May 17. A beautiful pink Gay Nineties theme was used. Class officers for the first semester in the senior year were Clare Roetcisoender. president; Anne Tucker, vice-president; Geraldine Ricci, secre- tary: and Dale Raben, treasurer. Officers leading the class during the second semester were Bob Stcnsland, president: Gloria Masterjohn, vice- president: Eleanor Nelson, secretary: and Wal- lace Cauffman, treasurer. The class play “The Whole Town's Talking was presented on January 10, under the fine direction of Miss Wicklund. The play was well attended and met with huge success. Transforming the gymnasium into a beautiful May-time scene, the seniors gave the annual ball on May 2, after being entertained by the juniors at a banquet given for them as a farewell ges- ture before departing from their high school careers as graduates of Monroe High School. At the ball, a huge Maypole, decorated with bright streamers, was the center of attention. Leading the class in scholastic standing all through high school, were Eunice Connelly and Calvin Boyes, who received the high honors of valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively, of the Class of '47. Geraldine Ricci received the honorable D.A.R. award and the outstanding Wagner awards also went to Geraldine Ricci and to Dick Strcissguth. 10 LEONARD ANDREWS F.F..A. 2. 3. 4.

THE JUNIOR PROM was a gala affair. December 10 found a startling change in the high school gymnasium, for it was transposed into an attractive Dutch garden, the decorative theme chosen by the Junior Class. The dance floor was enclosed by a white picket fence entwined with ivy and colorful tulips. Quaint Dutch windmills and wish' ing wells ensconced in tulip beds filled the corners with delicate beauty. The dancers entered beneath a vine-covered arch and danced under the softly lighted blue paper sky to the music of Don Meyers and his orchestra. Under the able chairmanship of LaVctte Kern, the prom was a delightful experience. Norman Walker served the Junior Class as president during the year of 1947. Other class officers were: Mickey Watson, vice-president; Barbara Gelderman, secretary- treasurer; and Miss Hill, advisor. Many of the other organizations turned to the Junior Class for leaders. Leone Roet- cisoender was president of the Booster Club; Mickey Watson, secretary-treasurer of the Honor Society, Hi-Tyc editor, and yell leader; Margit Ohrncll, vice-president of the Girls' Club and student body treasurer; Bob Manoske, secretary-treasurer of the Boys' Club and assistant student body treasurer; Frank Etter. representative to the Boys' Club; Dick Nelson, vice-president of the Boys' Club; and Charles Main and LaVette Kern, junior student council representatives. Charles Main was also the president of the Monroe Chapter of F.F.A. As Monroe's representative, he attended the National Agricultural Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. Charles also acted as the “general- issimo of Campus Day. A number of the juniors were also active in sports. Norman Walker, Elroy Knoshaug, Dick Nelson and Dennis McCarthy won their letters in football; Frank Etter, Norman Walker, and Dick Nelson in basketball. Several of the junior girls also won letters and stripes in sports and many won Booster Club emblems. The Junior Class was well represented in the Honor Society, Lcttcrmen's Club and other organizations as well. The annual play, Mr. Beane from Lima,” a very delightful comedy, was presented March 28, under the direction of Miss Robertson. In addition to displaying their dra- matic talents in the play, the Junior Class helped to make the Bearcat Follies of 1947” a great success. The end of a very successful year was heightened by the Junior-Senior Banquet, given in honor of the graduating class of '47. THE SOPHOMORE CLASS entered Monroe High School on September 8, 1946. with a complement of fifty-four students. During the course of the year, four of the students withdrew, leaving twenty girls and thirty boys. The officers of the class arc: Merle Olson, president; Pat Ricci, secretary; and Jean Fortman, treasurer. The representatives to the Student Council are James Barr and Barbara Sladek. Joyce Farmer is the Sophomore representative to the Girls' Club and James Barr serves the Boys' Club in the same capacity. Two of the boys in the class, Maynard Anderson and Avery Fulcher, belong to the Fire Squad. Among the students of the Sophomore Class are Bob Dennis and Ernie Hcnrickson who are returned servicemen. Sophomore members of the Honor Society are: Gloria Hansey, Geraldine Zaat. Joan Francis, Martha Hunziker, Joyce Farmer, Barbara Sladek, John Schwartz, Thomas Ramalcy and James Barr. Two boys deserve mention for becoming lettermen in their sophomore year—Bob Dennis and Maynard Anderson. Among other sophomore celebrities was Jean Fortman, one of the yell leaders. Sev- eral of the sophomore girls belong to the Monroe High Schtx)l Girls' Drill Team. These girls are: Cecelia Enyeart, Rose Marie Mattson, Gloria Hansey, Joyce Farmer, Betta Greenwood, Lillian Barnett, Joyce Pownall, Geraldine Zaat, and Barbara Sladek. During the year an interclass contest for selling magazine subscriptions was held to raise money for the lighting fund. The goal for each class was two hundred dollars. The sophomores went over their goal and won the contest. The class itself didn't have many activities but most of the students belonged to a number of clubs and organizations that were quite active. The Sophomores did have a Halloween party which was well attended and, according to the plaudits of those at- tending, an entertaining success.

The seventh and eighth are divided into two sections each; the ninth is divided according to subjects taken by the various students. There are seventy- seven in the seventh grade, sixty-seven in the eighth, and sixty-eight in the ninth grade, making a total enrollment of two hundred and two students in the junior high school. Besides the regular classwork, the junior high extra-curricular activities are many and various. Each year at Christmas time a pageant is produced, and during the second semester an all-school play takes precedence. This year the play, “Out of This World.” was given under the direction of Miss Janet Dyk. The students are given a choice of becoming members of one of the following clubs: Sports. Drama. Hobby, Science, Press, Red Cross, or Library. The Press Club prints the “Periscope. The boys have a basketball and a fastball team and arc members of the county league, in which they took first place this year. At the end of each year the graduating class gives a gift to the school.

FOOTBALL HEADLINES THIS YEAR Monroe High School was well represented on the All-County teams. With their moleskins, the Bearcats hung up several individual honors. Eddie Salvadalena, the Bearcat tackle and co-captain, not only won a berth on the All-County First Team but gained an added distinction by being chosen as an alternate on the All-State Team. Eddie, who broke his leg in one of last year's games, fully recovered in time to play his last season for Monroe. He is one of the few football stars who has carved an undeniable niche in the gridiron history of Monroe High School. He will be noticeably missed in next year's play. The other Bearcat capturing All-County First Team honors was Norm Walker. Norm, playing left halfback, took A league scoring honors by virtue of his stellar play. Dick Nelson, hard plunging fullback, wound up in second position in the scoring parade. Cal Boycs, also playing his last season for the Bearcats, succeeded in capturing an All-County Second Team berth for the second year in a row. Cal’s passing arm and expert ball handling were a great asset to the team and his brilliant quarterbacking strategy will be badly missed next season. Monroe can well be proud of Jack Hensley also, who, as only a freshman and playing football for his first year, walked away with an end position on the County Second Team. Jack will be a major threat to every opponent in the seasons to come. 22 Bac Rou Kcrmit Lund, right halfback: Dick Nelson, fullback; Calvin Boyes. quarterback: Norman Walker, left halfback.

TO START the 1946 season, Monroe had only three gridiron lettermen returning from the previous season. These were Eddie Salvadalena. Kerm Lund, and Cal Boyes. Besides all the newcomers out for the sport, we also had a new coach and assistant coach. Start' ing from scratch, the Bearcats opened the season by shellacking Issaquah, 20-0, in a rough, tough contest. It was the dedication game—the first game played under lights on the “Monroe Memorial Athletic Field.” The next Friday the Monroe gridders journeyed to Marysville where they suffered the worst defeat of the season. It was Marysville's contest all the way with the game ending at 26-6. On October 5, a revised and revived Bearcat team smothered the luckless Coupcville “Indians on the Monroe field. The visiting Island County team came out on the short end of a 33-0 score. In the following game the Bearcats again felt the pangs of defeat—this time at the hands of Arlington. With the score tied in the failing minutes of the game, Arlington returned a kick and went 65 yards for a winning touchdown. On October 18, the Bearcats gave their rooters a long awaited triumph when they trampled an aggressive Edmonds' team. This was the first league victory for the inspired Monroe team. The Bearcats came through on the long end of a 26-6 score. The “big night” finally arrived. The Monroe grid team met the Snohomish “Pan- thers” on the home field. But for the Panther's ten-yard line, still a Monroe jinx, the Bearcats almost toppled the highly touted Snohomish team. Monroe turned in its best game of the season, out playing the Panthers all the way, only to lose the hard-fought contest by virtue of an interrupted pass that gave the Red and White a 6 point margin. On November 1, the team journeyed to Whidby Island in a practice tilt with the vaunted Oak Harbor “Wildcats.” The game ended in a deadlock, a 6-6 tie. In the last game of the season, the Bearcats tramped over the Sultan “Turks” in a thrilling, traditional Armistice Day game with a final 12-7 score. Two members made the All-County Class A Team this year: Eddie Salvadalena as tackle and Norm Walker as halfback. Cal Boyes and Jack Hensley received berths on the second team as quarterback and end respectively. 23 Top: Dick Nelson, fullback, junior; Kerm Lund, halfback, senior; Cal Boyes, quarterback, senior; Norm Walker, halfback, junior.

A look at the reoerds shows that the “Jake” Donnelly-tutored cagers won 11 out of 22 starts. Opening the season with a bang, the Bearcats easily overran Skykomish, 42-23, only to have Twin Cities eke out a hard-fought, well-played battle by a 28-26 score. Once again they lost one of those close ones, this time to Darrington—the game ending 30-29. In a non-league tilt, the Bearcats fell victims to the powerful Bothell quintet, but came back to life to dump Edmonds 32-25. Finally hitting their long awaited stride, they fought their way to victory by toppling first Lake Stevens and next Sultan by 37-26 and 53-29, respectively. In a rough, exciting exhibition, the Bearcats succeeded in skimming a 43-42 victory from Bothell. A scrappy Granite Falls team was Monroe's next victim by a 32-26 count, followed by Skykomish. 48-18.

Once again Lake Stevens could not seem to stop the “Bearcats” as they broke through to a 46-36 victory. Seeking revenge for a previous defeat by one point, the aggressive attack of the “Bearcats” could not be stopped as they ran up a 61-38 score over Darrington. Monroe was on the small end of the score in the games with Sultan and Marysville until the tilt with Granite Falls reversed the score. The Bearcat cagers regular season ended with Twin Cities dealing defeat by a score of 40-33 on the home court. With second place in the district securely tucked away, the Monroe “casaba” artists entered the Northwest District Tournament at Stan wood. In the first game the Bearcats were matched with the Oak Harbor “Wildcats” who, unable to keep up the pace set by the home team, allowed Monroe easily to walk away with a 48-29 victory. With high hopes, the team met the LaConner five who knocked them out of the running by a 38-26 count, and was finally downed by Concrete. Cal Boycs and Norm Walker received All-District honors, and with that the Mon- roe “Bearcats hung up their suits until the 1948 season which will see only four returning lettermen go into action with this year's second team stars. 27 FIRST TEAM—Bacl{ Row (left to right): Dick Streissguth, manager: Dennis McCarthy, junior: Wally Pearson, sophomore: Dale Raben, senior; Boh Stcnsland, senior: Dick Nelson, junior.

The Untamable Bearkittens A WORD of congratulation is in order for a team which received little praise or glory for the amazing record it has turned in for the past three years. Of all the games played during the three seasons, the “Bearkittens won every game hut four—a remarkable record for any team. In this year's play our scrappy young “casaba” artists lost only one game out of 19 starts. The starting team not only acted as the first five of the second team hut as the reserves for the first team. Ramaley. Schwartz and Ettcr, in particular, saw first team action more than once. Every one of them deserves the full appreciation of the student body for the excellent job done. 28 Top: Coach “Jake Donnelly, Assistant Coach Walter Hakola. Bottom: LeRoy Obom, assistant manager; Dick Streissguth, manager: Richard Roughton, assistant manager. Tactical Tacticians COMING to Monroe with an outstanding past record in the high school coaching field. Coach “Jake ' Donnelly has done much for the school and the community in building up the athletic program and general recreation facilities of the school. Mr. Donnelly's coaching abilities have not been limited to coaching high school athletics alone. After completing three years in the Air Corps, he coached a professional basketball team in New York. Although every new coach usually has difficulty in his first year at a school. ‘'Jake” has done exceptionally well in the short time he has been here. He has acted as head coach in football with the able assistance of Walter Hakola, and has taken on all the responsibilities of coaching both basketball and track while “Hak” has tutored the junior high basketball and fastball teams. No team is complete without someone to assume its “quartermaster” responsibilities. The managerial duties of the Bearcat teams for the last three years has been the problem of capable, efficient Dick Streissguth. He has under him two able assistants, Richard Roughton and LeRoy Obom, who have performed their respective duties well and are a credit to Dick's leadership. 29 MONROE MAULERS THE LETTERMEN'S Club once again undertook the task of putting on their an' nual “Smoker.” Friday, No- vember 29. was the date of the mixer that is rapidly be- coming a tradition in Mon- roe. The Lettermen's group, trying to make the Smoker more progressive each year, brought in outside talent from the reformatory besides the local pugilists. The Smoker went over so well that it was decided to hold another next year. Then besides the reformatory matches, boxers may be brought in from Snohomish. Sultan and Marysville High Schools, thus making it a county event and packing the arena to an even greater ex- tent than did this year's en- deavor.

Mr. Simmons wants to marry his daughter, Ethel, to his junior partner. Chester Binncy, who is the kind of bachelor no woman would want. Mr. Simmons has a theory that every woman wants the man every other woman wants and conceives the plan of inventing a few love affairs for unromantic Chester. Soon all the girls are falling for Chester who finally weathers the storm to win Ethel, much to his own surprise and that of the audience.

After the Junior-Senior Banquet the Senior Ball was held. At nine o'clock, the evening plans proceeded as the guests gathered in a gymnasium beautifully decorated in the “Gay Nineties' motif. The great hall was entirely draped in pink, the ceiling hidden by a canopy of woven pink streamers. At one end of the floor was a small garden cafe, at the other the bar so typical of the period. One of the attractions was the bicycle built for two, set up for couples who desired to have pictures taken. Music, gala decorations, and the spirit of the occasion combined to make this a memorable evening. U “IN A LITTLE DUTCH GARDEN” . . . The Junior Prom was held December 10 at 8:00 in the high school gymnasium. A Dutch theme was used and the gym, encircled by a white picket fence, was decorated with blue streamers hanging from a light in the center of the large hall. One corner was dec- orated like a Dutch garden with a windmill in the center, while between the steps leading to the stage was a wishing well surrounded by tulips. Punch and cookies were served at eleven o clock. The rhythmic music of Don Meyers and his band made the evening thoroughly enjoyable. DECORATING COMMITTEE: LaVette Kern, chairman. Maxine Earlywinc.
