Harr, chairman; Kirby, Mr. Scharf; and Mr. Taylor, clerk. Mr. Gerald Ladley Superintendent Mr. Allan Burke Principal S'.penrvoendent1 s Message: You, the graduating class of 191 8, are a product and a symbol of the American way of life. This is founded on political democra- cy, and institutions like your own High School are the principal safeguards to our way of life. No one who knows and really under- stands the political and economic history of our country, could be tempted to advocate changing the fundamental democratic principles on which our free society is based. Try to prepare yourself to add something useful to the life of your community. A High School education will be of little value un- less you continue to learn as you become an adult. Remember that good citizenship is founded on the spirit of tolerance, sympathy, and good sportsmanship, and the ability and willingness to be help- ful to others. 6 Mr. Paul Jake Donnelly Kiss Louise W.

The motto - If there isn’t a way we’ll make one, was carried throughout the years. Under the presidency of Gayl Sparks, they sailed throught their first year of high school, giving a successful Halloween Sock Dance. As Juniors, Norman Walker and Mickey iVatson shared the presidency; Barbara Gel- aerman, secretary; and Margit Ohrnell, treasurer. Margit was also treasurer of the Student Body. Kiss Hill was the class advisor. Under the leadership of LaVette Kern, the juniors transformed the gymnasius into a colorful, quaint little Dutch Garden for the Junior Prom. The hilarious comedy, Mr. Beane From Lima, given the Junior year was under the iirection of Miss Robertson and Mr. Berner. Mickey 'atson welcomed the Senior class to the Junior-Senior Banquet on May 2. The theme, May-Pole as chosen by the Seniors for the Ball was carried out at the Ban- quet. As Juniors, they were presented the '’Citizenship and Attendance Plaque. With Miss V icklund as advisor during the Senior year they presented the comedy, Howdy Stranger as the class play. Of- ficers for the first semester were Charles tain, president; Gayl Sparks, vice-presi- dent; Lousie Thomas, secretary; Bob Manos- ce, treasurer; and Bob Dennis, sgt. at arms.

(Continued on page 52) 16 Jeana Dennis I How are you? I haven t seen you for years. By the way, congratulations on your appointment as hea . of the detective depart- ment of the New York Police. Thank you. you haven t been doing so badly yourself. I attended your spring fashion :review at the Waldorf Astoria last week and liked it vorj much. I particularly enjoyed seeing Bill Taggart still modeling Wo- men's skirts. The comedy touch was uelightful. You live in New York don't you? Yes. I have a nice place on Long Island. Say, two of our old class memoers are my uxoigh ors. Those business tycoons, Frank Etuer and Sam Blanken, both have big houses close to mine. Billie Webster and Louise Thomas are txieir secretaries. But where have you been keeping yourself lately? I was with the Seattle police Department till my appointment here. I maue a trip to Monroe not to long ago and was surprised to find how many of our classmates still live there. Carl Herman is a scientific farmer near Monroe. He's tne one v;no discovered fifty new uses for the Irisn potato. Bob Manoske, Gayl Sparks, and Norm Walker are on the faculty of K....S. as science teacher, P.E. teacher, and coach and Margit Ohrnell is teaching first grade there. C uite a few former members of our class own business establishments there too. Ray V altner is part owner of Broughton's Grocery now. Bill Green is a cabinet maker, Bruce Barber has an electrccal repair snop, and pat Ebeling is the town's leading mortician,— of course you know that Dennis MacCurthy is now the superintendent of the reformatory. Yes, Ruth Marcear told me. This is her fifth season with the Metro- politan Opera, you know. She stopped in Monroe on a snort visit while on a recent concert tour. She say3 several members of the class of '48 are still at tneir former occupations. Chuck rabont is still going to Seattle hunting for the ide.il woman. .ob Dennis is still wolfing, Bill Handley is still at I... H. S. sleeping, anu Leone Roetcisoender is still driving the same old Packard. There are several members of our class in Seattle too. Winnie Banks is Superintenlent of Nurses at Swedish Hospital there. Boyd Johnson and Loren Armstrong own a larre chai of cara -es and have their headquarters in Seattle. Another partnership is Chuck V.oosley and Dick Kelson. They ov.b the controlling interest in the National Broadcasting Co. and Cal Bosch is the manager of their Seattle station. I see Chuck and Dick once in awhile here in New York. There are quite a number of our former classmates liv;.n:; here. Maxine Earlywine is the editor of the New York KaraId-Tribune, Gertrude Morse is a social worker, she started the well-known Morse House.' Then, of course, there are Dona Han- sey, Violet Roppas, Virginia Salvadalena, and Madeline Armstrong. They have their own radio program of western music. Sam Prest n is a big theatrical agent. He manages the famous dance team of Main and Watson, who are none other than Mickey and Charley. Then there is Norm Helm, who is part owner of the Safeway chain. Speaking of Norm Helm, his brother Bill is married, you know, and now owns the Monroe Monitor. Molly Malone, Barbara Gelderman, and Rose Garlets are married too, and of course I mustn't forget Darlene Andrews and Larry ’Whitfield.

The mext game was a non - league game with the Snohomish Panthers coming out on the top end of a hard fought 19-7 win. The following Friday the Bearcats really caught fire and trampled the home town Sultan Turks to the tune of 21-0. Hard luck was out in foroe in the next game, and as a result the Bear- cats were held to a 6-6 tie by an inferior but hard fighting Oak Harbor eleven. Then with the Langley Falcons as their opposition the Bearcats showed their Girdiron punch by overcoming a first quarter touchdown, to take a slose 7-6 victory. The following Friday the Bearcats journeyed up North to engage in what proved to be quite a scoring spree by both teams, with the Bearcats punching over the winning touchdown in the final minutes of the game to win a hectic battle 25-19. In the next game the Bearcats played host to the Concrete Lions in a downpour of rain but again the ecked out a close 6-0 win. Then in the most important contest of the season, the Bear- cats played the undefeated Lake Stevens Vikings for the champion- ship of the county and Tri-County Leagues.

Cdsaba l?ev e w The Monroe Bearcats had a fairly successful season this year under the leadership of, Jake Donnelly, their coach. After a slow start in which the home team lost their first three league games, they lJterly set the league afire by winning nine out of ten games to move from the cellar position to a tie for fourth place in the new- ly formed Northwest Tri-County League. The Bearcats couldn't quite seem to hold this nace. however, and dropped their last game of the regular season to Lake Stevens, a team they had previously knocked out of the undefeated bracket, if the earcats had won this game, they would have won the county c amnj.onship and undisputed position of fourth lace of the tri-countv league. W. Pearson, D. Nelson, D. McCarthy, N. Walker, C. Woosley After the close of the regular season Monroe went on to play Lake Stevens again their first game in the District Tournament held in the Twin City gym at Starwood. Lake Stevens again came out on the long end of the score. The second game Monroe played in the tournament v as with their hosts, the Twin City Cardinals. Twin City won this game by a scant tv o points. ihe two losses, however, eliminated Mon- roe from further play in the tournament. The Bearcats played their last game of the season against the twen team. This was a benifit game with all proceeds going to the llghtin fund. The Bearcats second team couldn't seem to be topped except for their first game with Twin Cities which they lost by 2 points. This loss snapped their winning streak of a straight twenty-three games, however they now have a record of 14 games straight, which will carry on into next year. The Bearcats are losing five players through graduation this year but they have all of the second team and some first team reserves who are excellent ball players so M nroe can look forward to another good team next year. A gold basketball was awarded to Doug Roughton for winning the foul shooting contest this year. Dick Nelson won the first annual legion award this year. This awa?d is presented each year to the most outstanding player and scholar for the yoar. .29. Dlok Nelson—Forward Norn Walker—Forward Jake Tine out Chuok A'oo8ley—Guard—Capt.

They also sang before the P.T.A. and were well commended for their performance. They also participated in the operetta Rio Rico” which was given on May 6. Several of the girls were given solos or duets with male characters in the operetta and the public was very sur- prised and pleased with the production of the operetta. Mr.Swan- son is the music director for Monroe Schools and should be compli- mented on the success of the operetta. (L. to R.) Mr. Swanson, Darlene Andrews, Louise Thomas, Elaine MasterJohn, Jean Fortman,Faye Giles, Dorothy Roorda,Mary Swanson.

In addition to each class choosing a queen candidate, each class also chose a king candidate. The sophomores chose Maxyne Unzelman and Laurence Hester, the juniors chose Barbara Sladek and Y ally Pearson, and the seniors chose Molly Malone and Sam Blanken. The two senior candidates were crowned by Santa, alias Norm. Helm. A short program was presented with the alumni partici- pating. As usual, the students all drew names for gifts. F. F. A. BAN'.

(Senior Prophecy, continued) Some of our former class members are engaged in more unus- ual occupations. Gerry V alberg and Marcella Davis are both play- ing with the 3 os ton Symphony Orchestra, and of course you know that Blaine Mas ter John and Mary Swanson are fast becoming a fam- ous tennis team. v e mustn t forget LeRoy Schwartz, who is the captain of one of our largest battleships, and 3ob Short, who is on a tramp 3teamer somewhere in the South Pacific. He plans to write a book about it when he gets back. Then there is Elroy Knoshaug. He is a wealthy cigar manufacturer and has a huge plantation in Cuba. That seems to account for all of our former class members. Let me congratulate you, Sherlock, on a brilliant piece of detec- tive work. Thank you, Watson.
