The Student Body of... MONROE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Monroe, Washington presents the HAYU SAGHALIE Forty-Niner GERALDINE ZAAT...................Editor-m-Chiei BILLIE MAE RABEN.. . Business Manager MISS LOUISE WICKLUND Advisor Foreword and Dedication The name Forty-niners'' brings to mind memories of those intrepid indi- viduals who sought through sheer courage and physical strength to push back savage frontiers to make room for progress, and to uncover the wealth of a new land. In the same manner, the Forty-niners' of Monroe High School are pursuing the treasures to be found in education. They are pushing back the borders of ignorance and intolerance, seeking knowledge and under- standing of mankind. Since the early pioneers of Monroe were also seekers after fame and fortune, it seems only proper that we, the student body of Monroe High School, should dedicate the 1949 Hayu Saghalie to them. They came to this region not knowing what was to face them, just as the '49ers of Monroe High School entered high school not knowing what they would encounter. The pioneers found their future in this community, and the graduates will find their's in the education they have imbibed. The early pioneers of this community have nearly completed their history, but the class of '49 will continue for years, making history and fortune, inspired by the education obtained and the ideals formulated in Monroe High School. — 2 — ADMINISTRATION Upper leti: Mr. Gerald Ladley. Superintendent. School Board: Mr. Lever. Supt. Ladley. Mr. Barr. Mr. Kirby, Mr. Scharf, and Mr. Taylor. Lower right: Mr. Allan Burke. Principal. Superintendent's Message Contrary to the old saying, what you don't know can hurt you. It hurts you now and it ruins your prospects for the future. Ignorance is the greatest and most dangerous enemy you will ever have 10 fight. Education is the only all-powerful weapon for fighting this enemy. America has used this weapon with magnificent success up to now. Our position of leadership and respect could never have been achieved without our educational system as a foundation. Now our system of education desperately needs help. Two million school age children are not in school. Many schools do not have sufficient text- books and lack other necessary equipment. We cannot win the fight against ignorance under these conditions. We cannot long maintain our position of world leadership without a superior educational program. It is our duty as citizens to provide our people with the world's best educational opportunities. - 4 — —G. D. Ladley 'Assayers EFFIE HILL Arkansas Stato College; Ohio State Univer- sity.

CLASS MOTTO: WE LOOK TO THE FUTURE WITH FAITH. HOPE. AND THE WILL TO LEARN. — II — 'Sourdoughs' of '50 The Junior Class this year consisted of thirty-two boys and twenty girls. The class offi- cers throughout the year were: president, Marilyn Knoshaug; vice president, Ray Hagel; secretary, Elmer Manoske; and treasurer, Dolores Mercer. The two junior representatives for the Student Council were Marilyn Schwartz and LeRoy Anderson. In sports, the following won their letters ii football: Leroy Anderson, Herman Harvold, Laurence Hester. Ray Hagel, Leonard Hammerquist, Jack Hensley, and Manager Ed Wick- lund. Though well represented in basketball, Herman Harvold was the only junior winning his letter in the sport. The girls were right there in sports too. Those displaying their M's' on their school sweaters are Betty Broughton, Marjorie Broughton. Ethylnn Davis, Betty Downing, Faye Durr. Carmela Federico, Clara Hocum, Marilyn Knoshaug, Dolores Mercer, Carolyn Nelson. Sue Preston, and Maxine Unzelman. On March 23. they were all initiated into the county M Club at Marysville. The Junior Class proudly claims three yell leaders from its membership: Dolores Mercer, Sue Preston, and Carolyn Nelson. The spirit of the school was increased through their efforts. Two girls, Priscilla Tucker and Ethylnn Davis, took active parts in the Girls' Club cabinet. The drill team boasted three junior girls: Clara Hocum, Betty Downing and Marjorie Broughton, the latter acted as assistant captain. Their new uniforms were initiated at the Monroe-Sultan game this year. The Junior Prom, with Neptune's Garden as an unusual theme, was the highlight of the winter social season. The gymnasium wa3 beautifully decorated with sea-green stream- ers and a large mural of marine life. Cross My Heart directed by Miss Robertson, was the name of the comical play pre- sented by a well chosen cast. It was well received by an appreciative audience. The year's activities were climaxed with the Junior-Senior Banquet, given in honor of the seniors. It's beautiful April Showers decorative motif and delicious food served, made Friday, April 29th, a pleasant addition to the Memory Book of all who attended. 'Excavators' of '51 On August 31. 1948, the doors of Monroe Senior High School opened, admitting fifty sophomore students. During the year one student withdrew, leaving twenty-five boys and twenty-four girls. Acting as president throughout the year was Jim Hinshaw. Shirley Lind was vice presi- dent; Darlene Wolfe, secretary; and Neva Smith, treasurer. Miss Robertson was the class adviser. Taking honors for becoming lettermen in their sophomore year were Guil Hansen, Jim Hinshaw, Bob Anderson, Tom Trombley, and Ronnie Matlock. Girls who became letterwomen in their sophomore year were Darlene Wolfe. Nancy Nelson, and Shirley Lind. The drill team, which performed at the football and basketball games, had eight sopho- more girls among its ranks. They were Jean Sparks. Helen Valentine, Shirley Lind, Mar- garet Salisbury, Earlaine LaFave, Doreen Hocum, Margaret McCarthy, and Colleen Ricci. Honor society members from the class were Allan Arrants, Jim Hinshaw, Dick Ryan, Darlene Wolfe, Joan Smith, JoAnn Ohlsen, Neva Smith, Doreen Hocum, Helen Valentine, Margaret Salisbury, and Jeanette Santose. Two boys, Darrell McDonald and Ronnie Matlock, were members of the fire squad and closed windows, doors and chased students out for fire drill with as much nonchalance as senior members. Like many other groups, eager to raise funds, the sophomores sponsored one of the bas- ketball sock dances. Dancing was to the latest records and a good crowd turned out. Breaking all of the usual traditions, the sophomores were proud to acclaim Tom Trom- bley and Darlene Wolfe as king and queen of the Christmas party. The class all got behind their candidates, buying the most votes for them. Santa was on hand to crown their Sophomore Royalties. The 1949 phase of their class history ended on May 27, when the doors of school were closed for that long needed rest after a strenuous year. — 12 — '50 VINCE AGOSTINELLI HENRY ANDERSON LEROY ANDERSON MARGARET ARMSTRONG HAROLD BANKS CHARLES BARNETT BETTY BROUGHTON MARJORIE BROUGHTON IRENE CHAPPELL DOUGLAS CONNELLY PAUL COY ETHYLNN DAVIS BETTY DOWNING FAYE DURR CARMELA FEDERICO BOB FULCHER GENE GUPTILL WILBERT GERING RAY HAGEL LOUISE HAMMERQUIST LEONARD HAMMERQUIST HERMAN HARVOLD JACK HENSLEY CLARA HOCUM CLARENCE HESTER LAWRENCE HESTER ORVILLE HOLMES DICK JOHNSON GEORGE KECK BUD KERN MARILYN KNOSHAUG ELMER MANOSKE TERRY McCAFFERY DAVID McCALLUM IDALEE McMANUS DOLORES MERCER GAYLORD MOCABEE CAROLYN NELSON KENNY OBOM SUE PRESTON VITO QUARTANTA BOB REED MIKE REGIMBAL PHYLLIS RICHARDS MARILYN SCHWARTZ WILLA SOTH DAN STUCKY SYLVIA TUCK DONNA WAGNER PRISCILLA TUCKER MAXYNE UNZELMAN JIM VALENTINE ALLAN VAN BROCKLIN ED WICKLUND — 13 '57 First row. lett to right: Colleen Ricci.

Ed Wicklund Right—Dick Kloin Coach Managers Ass't Coach 'Bone Crushers of '49' Two boys from the ”48'' football team placed on Tri-County league teams. They were Maynard Anderson and Johnny Schwartz. Maynard made a first team berth and he was also nominated for the State Team. He played brilliant ball all through the season. Being shifted from guard to tackle didn't seem to slow him much. Maynard has also placed on County and Tri-County teams the past two years. Johnny Schwartz, through his versatile playing and never-say-die attitude, won a place on the Tri-County second team. A mid-season injury was respon- sible for his not securing a first team berth. Tommy Ramaley led the team in scoring for the ”48” season with a total of 42 points. Monroe began the season with a new coach following the resignation of ■ Jake” Donnelly a few days after school began. Morrie” Hahn, who replaced Jake”, was greeted by a large and approv- ing turn-out of boys eager to show their added spirit and determination to give him every help. Monroe started its regular season against its greatest rival, Snohomish. — 16 — The jinx was still riding against the Bearcats as they lost to the Panthers 18 to 6. Ramaley scored Monroe's first touchdown of the season on a 55-yard run. The Bearcats didn't seem to be the same in the second game as they lost to the Sultan Turks 14 to 0. A big factor in the loss was the fact that there was no school because of polio, so the Bearcats were not able to have any lurnouts. Coach Hahn’s boys finally found themselves in the third game of the season by giving the Darrington Loggers a shellacking. The final score was 26 to 6 in the favor of Monroe. In this game every player who turned out got to play. Keeping on the winning streak, the Bearcats traveled to the Oak Harbor field and rolled over the Wildcats to the tune of 18 to 0. Tommy Ramaley scored two touchdowns to lead the way to victory. The Bearcats were really rolling now and after their return from Langley they had tucked away another victory. Pinky Olson brought down one of johnny Schwartz s passes and scored the only touchdown of the day as the Monroe team won 6 to 0. Monroe had difficulty trying to get going against the Twin City Cardinals and tasted defeat for the first time in four games as the Cards connected for two touchdowns and a try for point to win 13 to 0. After this defeat, the Bearcats made the longest journey of the season to Concrete. Since they had to travel so far they didn't want to lose and . . . they didn't. The Bearcats came home with a 12 to 0 upset over the Lions. It was Concrete's first defeat of the season. In this game Maynard Anderson and Johnny Schwartz turned two intercepted passes into touchdowns. Monroe traveled to Lake Stevens field for the next game to face the un- defeated, unscored upon Vikings. The Bearcats tasted first blood with Tommy Ramaley romping over for a touchdown after two minutes of play, but the Vikings were too strong to hold back as they went wild and pushed over five touchdowns to win 30 to 7. Incidently this was the only touchdown scored against the Vikings all season. Monroe returned home for their last game of the season with their opponents, the fast Granite Falls Tigers . The Bearcats had to start without the services of halfback Johnny Schwartz and after the first few plays. Tommy Ramaley was hurt. This didn't stop the Bearcats though as they went ahead and trounced the Tigers to the tune of 18 to 0. Ray Hagel was the big gun in this game as he scored two touchdowns. Ramaley and Schwartz got in the game for one play near the end. Ramaley scored a touchdown on a 40 yard pass which was thrown by Schwartz. There isn't any mention in any of the games about the defenses and the line, but they won't be left out. The Bearcats had one of the best defensive lines in the league this year with its stand-outs being LeRoy and Maynard Anderson, Jack Tucker, and Jim Hinshaw. If it hadn't been for these boys' outstanding defense work, the Bearcats would have had many more defeats. Our end brought down the passes thrown to help the offense click also, so all in all there was a better than average team. Both the coach and his squads did a good job and Morrie can feel proud Cl his first year of coaching. He turned out a fighting team, one whose good sportsmanship and spirit gained county-wide approval. The out-look for football teams in the near future looks very promising with some fine players such as. LeRoy Anderson, Jim Hinshaw, Jack Hensley, PeeWee Hester, and Ray Hagel.

The 1948-49 Monroe Bearcat team has completed a very successful basket- bail season under the splendid coaching of its newly acquired mentor. Morrie Hahn. The Bearcats won ten encounters and lost six. placing them in a tie for third place in the tri-county league. Two games were played with the non-league Snohomish team, resulting in a win and loss respectively. The team also played one non-league game with the high school alumni. It was a tense, hard fought game but the alumni came out on top, winning by but three points. The Bearcats qualified for a berth in the district tournament held at La- Conner. but experienced a tough break in their opening game, losing to Dar- lington by a mere two points. The team then went on to defeat Lake Stevens, Oak Harbor, and Skykomish to place third in the district and add a shining award to the school's trophy case. The second team, the Bearkittens, also had a very good reason, winning eleven out of sixteen games played. The team was coached by Dick Klein, assistant director of athletics. The Bearcats are losing six of the first ten players this year but there are some excellent prospects in the second team that should develop an equally able team next season. Johnny Schwartz was elected to the All-District Team for his fine playing in guaid position. Receiving a sprained ankle in the second game of the season and missing out on three games, Johnny finished the season with his ankle heavily taped for every game. Doug Roughton. high scorer for the Monroe Bearcats, received honorable mention for the same All-District Team. Those boys who could not make the high school team this year, participated in an intramural league which was organized between the classes. The seniors emerged victorious from this melee. The name of the team will be engraved on the trophy which is in the show case in the school. This trophy, given to the school, covers a number of years and the winning intramural team's name is engraved on it each year. — 20 — Last year the American Legion of Monroe presented a trophy to the school lor the boy who had the best scholastic record and was the most outstanding basketball player for the season. The trophy is to stand for five years and each boy who wins the award will have his name engraved on it. This year the honor was awarded to Johnny Schwartz. The Bearcats looked very colorful this year. They received attractive new suits of white satin trimmed with orange and black. The team also wore all- white shoes with orange and black knee-length stockings. White elastic guards fitted over the knee. The Bearcat team displayed the most colorful suits in the league and with their fine smooth playing looked like the winners they were. FIRST TEAM: (Kneeling R. lo L.) Johnny Schwartz.

'Muscle Maidens' The girls' M Club consists of twenty-two girls who have earned a letter in athletics. On March 29th the second Snohomish County letterwomen's initiation was held in Marysville. Twenty girls from Monroe were initiated. This year two girls, Gloria Hansey and Ethylnn Davis received the ball and chain, the high- est award given in the G.A.A. Officers this year were: Gloria Hansey, president; Sue Preston, vice president; Joyce Farmer, secretary; and Rose Mattson, treasurer. 'Bearcatettes' This year there were sixty-two girls turning out for sports twice a week under the leader- ship of Mrs. Young, the physical education director. The 1948-49 season began with speedball, which resulted in bruises and bumps, but every girl enjoyed herself. A first and second team were chosen by a vote of the girls. The speed- ball playday was held at Edmonds, but Monroe did not attend. The next sport of the season was volleyball. Class teams were organized and after a long haid fight the juniors came out on top. The team consisted of: Betty Downing. Faye Durr, Maxyne Unzelman. Margie Broughton, Sue Preston, Ethlynn Davis, Carmela Federico, and IdaLee McManus. Basketball is a great sport among the girls also. The ''Maple Court Cinderellas had the opportunity of entertaining the schools of Snohomish County at a basketball playday on Feb- ruary 12. Later the class teams battled it out for top honors. The seniors came out on top. with the winning team composed of Gloria Hansey, Rose Mattson. Dolores Lind, Joyce Farmer, Joyce Pownall, Joan Francis, and Kathryn Armstrong. Every one looked forward to the spring sports. The major sport was tennis, and the girls' tennis team had the opportunity of competing with various tennis teams from other schools. There was also a girls' intramural tournament in tennis, archery, badminton and ping pong. The girls had many other opportunities to earn points in such activities as tumbling, roller- skating, swimming, golf, and hiking. In the spring there was a series of hikes, where the girls made fires and cooked their food out-of-doors. The G.A.A. is one of the most active organizations in the school and the girls not only have a lot of fun, but they also learn to work with others in the highest standards of good sports- manship. The officers this year were: Dolores Lind, president; Jean Sparks, vice president; Neva Smith, secretary; and Dolores Mercer, treasurer. — 26 — O.A.A. . . . Pint row—Nor Herman. Renetta Wall.

This year the group held a formal afternoon initiation of incoming members. During the initiation Quill and Scroll cards were handed out and the Creed of a Journalist read. The school's journalism instructor. Miss Wilkie, is the organization's adviser. — 30 — PROSPECTIVE BRIDES. INC. . . . Organized by the freshman and sophomore home economics classes under the leadership of Miss Morgan, the local chapter of the Future Homemakers of America is part of a widely known national organization.

The Torch, advised b Miss Merdian, is composed of students mak- ing the final honor roll for the year. Trouble was encountered in getting organized this year. The informal initiation, which many initiates will never forget, went off very well. Plans for trips and activities did not seem tD materialize this year and it is hoped that next year better luck will eliminate disappointments. — 31 — '49er HISTORIANS . . . More for your money was the goal of the annual staff this year. With the full support of the student body, an engraved annual has again been presented, but not without an endless amount of trials and tribulations. A capable staff was appointed by Miss Wicklund, adviser, and Gerry Zaat, editor, all of whom worked hard for the Hayu Saghalie of '49. ANNUAL—Firsf row; Marilyn Schwartz, Maynard Anderson.

Hard work was necessary, many members contributing outside time whenever Miss Wilkie, the adviser, asked for help. The results were highly satisfactory. PINKERTON DETECTIVE AGENCY, INC. . . . Better known as the Booster Club, the members have the difficult and thankless task of patroling the football field during a game and watch- ing for those who come in the game free. They help in the selling and taking of tickets, scoring the games, and selling programs. It's a big task for Mr. Cornelison and his cohorts. COMBUSTION COMBATEERS . . . Overseeing fire drills and checking fire-fighting equip- ment are probably the two most important activities of the fire squad. The drills are enacted for the purpose of having all students out of the building in the least possible time in case of fire. MONROE MUSCLE MEN . . . The Lettermen's Club is composed of those who have won their letters in varsity sports. The annual banquet to which personal friends, faculty mem- bers, and the preceding year's lettermen are invited, proved very successful. Probably their most popular activity is the Lettermen's Smoker . A variety of weight bouts were on the card and the local Golden Gloves” champions comported themselves most creditably.

Known as the Girls' Club Cabinet, they have a policy of promoting friendly relations and cooperation between members and presenting material to the girls for the betterment of the school. This years' activities have included talks by outside speakers on personal health, and personality. There was a Mothor-Daughter tea in May and two conferences with Girls' Club officers in Snohomish and Bellingham. Friendly advice is given by Miss Wilkie. MASCULINITY. INC. . . . The Boys' Club Cabinet has done a good job this year in selecting material to present to the Boys' Club and the rest of the school. Among the material presented were two wild game movies which dealt with the conservation and protection of game animals. GIRLS ON REVIEW—Suffering few chills after drilling for football games, the Drill Team performed well this year. Their outstanding achievement was the making of new whito corduroy uniforms, the money being raised through a raffle and a very gonorous donation from the Eagles. Since the uniforms were acquired late in the season, the girls wero able to wear them only twice. Next year will find them ready to bogin a still more successful season. OIRLS' CLUB CABINET . . .

It has shown much improvement in the past year and has been on hand to play for all the basketball and football games, the fair, and any other occasion where its services might aid the community.

The orchestra, directed by Paul Bennett, has played on a number of occasions throughout the past year, in particular at the senior play, junior play, and at commencement exercises. Many of the members are advancing into senior high orchestra from the junior high and Monroe High School is looking forward to an even finer orchestra. — 41 — 'Arsenic and Old Lace' The houselights dimmed and the curtain rose on Arsenic and Old Lace,” a three-act mystery-comedy, presented on December 7� 1948, and directed by Miss Wicklund. The play concerned the antics of Mortimer Brewster and his lunatic family. Abby and Martha, the two old aunts, for example, poison homeless old men; Jonathan, Mortimer's older brother, with the aid of Professor Einstein, makes a hobby of horrible murder devices; Teddy, an- other brother believes himself to be Theodore Roosevelt and digs the Panama Canal in the cellar; Mortimer, the normal white sheep of the family, is hard put to shield his peculiar relatives and keep up appearances before a bavy of policemen who keep dropping in, and his fiancee, Elaine Harper, the minister's daughter. The result—a hilarious evening.

It involved the Adams family who were frantically trying to get in good with the boss through his teen-age daughter, thus winning a promotion at the bank. Matters be- came complicated when the two young people, Eleanor and Bob, meet and later disappear. At the same time the families' cars vanish and counterfeit money is circulated. Solutions to all the mysterious happenings are found, but not before causing an uproar among all concerned.

The high school gymnasium was transformed into a beautiful undersea garden. Elaborat- ing on the theme were the murals of sea life, and the row boat anchored overhead sur- rounded by green sea-weed. The main refreshment table and the smaller individual card tables were at one end of the gymnasium. The refreshments consisted of punch and cookies. Music for the evening was furnished by Wally Berg's Orchestra. The excellent refreshments, music, and decorations helped to make the evening a most enjoyable one for all who at- tended. On April 29. 1949, the Junior Banquet was held in the high school cafeteria. The April Showers' theme was tastefully carried out in all decorations. Merle Olson, senior class president, answered the welcome address given by Paul Coy. Toastmistress of the evening was Marilyn Knoshaug, who introduced Supt. Ladley as the speaker of the evening. Intro- duction of the senior boys was made by Ethylnn Davis, while Duane Kern introduced the senior girls. Entertainment for the evening consisted of a piano duet, vocal solo, and a saxophone solo. — 46 — SENIOR BALL . . . After the Junior-Senior Banquet, the Senior Ball was held in the hiah school gymnasium. April Showers was its very effective theme. The couples danced to the rhythmic music of The Kings' Men under roof of blue, pink, and white streamers. The streamers met at the center of the floor over a giant pastel umbrella. The main attraction of the evening was the shower of five hundred rainbow-hued balloons coming from the center and from each corner of the room. The rainbow behind the orchestra's podium added to the delicacy of the theme. Refreshments of cupcakes and punch were served. Everyone who attended felt and enjoyed the lightheartedness of the affair. COMMITTEES FOR THE BALL . . . Decoration: Barbara Sladek and Maynard Anderson, chairmen, Billie Raben. Botta Greenwood.
