To help achieve that goal some members of the staff attended a workshop at the University of Washington on October 2. Lectures were heard and annuals from all the attending schools were closely scrutinized in order to get ideas for the Hayu Saghalie of 1955. The annual staff sponsored the Homecoming Queen contest and held a very successful dance after the Homecoming foot- ball game. This year's staff worked hard striving to maintain the high standards set by previous annual staffs. Miss Wicklund discovers Jaci and Barbara's hiding place in the 4 annual room. We of the Hayu Saghalie staff believe that in Monroe High School we have the same international combination that has made the United States great - harmon- ious co-operation among people of dif- ferent nationalities and backgrounds. We also believe that, just as Benny Bearcat represents sportsmanship in athletics, he typifies this same demo- cratic spirit of competition, integrity and generosity in all phases of teenage life. He is the representative of a wonder- ful group of students and we are dedicating our 42nd edition of the Hayu Saghalie to Benny Bearcat, the United Nations' spirit of fellowship and good will in our own MHS. acUttef, rftut {cOnwitfnatuM, CnqcuttyxUottx. rttCMtiei. rftftletici.

Coaxing their coils of hooded death From frail reed baskets for a single rupee; The primitive beauty of the Taj Mahal; The tinkling temple bells; the Rajah's splendor- All these spell India of contrast and dreams.

It takes a well- knitted method set forth by the individual, the parents, the faculty, and the community resources to give everyone a start in life. Opportunities are always before you for any career you wish to choose; but it is the task of the girl or boy to be able to sell his product, himself, to someone who will give him a suitable chance to prove his capabilities. There are no easy or short-cut methods to education; no easy ways to get good grades; no easy jobs or easy ways to make money. Your daily activities must be planned, your thoughts set forth for clean wholesome living, and your pattern of life, unparalleled and unques- tionable. All of these characteristics and traits may be achieved by you and you alone, simply through one method, and that is TO ORGANIZE, through f continued effort, your education and your preparation for life. Sufcenirtte u(cvtt ojj Sc ooix. It is a privilege and a pleasure to have the honor of writing a message in this year's edition of Hayu Saghalie. The excell- ent production has come about through hard work and capable leadership of the Editor, Lucille Cook and Advisor, Miss Wicklund. Members of the Annual staff, faculty, and students have also greatly aided in making this Annual an outstanding review of our true school life-a book that will be cherished more and more as each year passes by. To the students, faculty, and the principal of the Monroe Senior High School, 1 wish to stress the importance to each of you of the value of the friendships that have been developed in our school. The pleasure and knowledge of working and playing together in a cooperative atmosphere has been a great satisfaction. It will be an important impetus to each and every one of you in the days to come. The spirit and sportsmanship which is so typical of our school can form the foundation for great accomplishments by all who have had the honor of being part of Monroe Senior High School. To our Seniors - God bless you and bon voyage! c-t - 10 Top row: Ray Dahl, Varnum Hewitt, Superintendent Marsden.

ScAcot 'Pta ui t e 'putccie With planning and looking over the bids for the new elementary school and the addi- tion to the junior high school, plus the re- pairs and modernization of the high school building, the Monroe School Board has not had only a busy year, but is looking forward to a very busy future. 11 Name: Robert Blomster Hometown: Superior, Wis College: Univ. of Wash Subject: Art Name: Robert Gaston Hometown: Wenatchee, Wash.

The horizon of Rio de Janeiro, City Marvelous of South America. Circles granite Sugar Loaf like a shining necklace of pearls. Skyscraper apartments and glistening modern buildings crouch Over the squalid, huddled hovels of the poor. The magnificent Christ of the Andes challanges in its charity The jealous pagan gods and goddesses of the Incas. Farther inland, the endless pampas spotted with myriad cattle and colorful gauchos, Fade into a turbulam sea of green, to be lost unknown dangers and unexplored mysteries Of that fabulous River of the Sun, the Amazon. Hif £xt%af t¥c - Editor Bonnie Ohlsen in her executive capacity. Mr. Christophersen and three eager Hi-Tye members get together. For the first time in the history of M.H.S. the students have been receiving a printed Hi-Tye . During the summer of 1954, Mr. Frank and Mr. Christophersen worked with the Monroe Monitor staff and made surveys to decide whether it would be possible to have a printed paper at Monroe High. The survey proved worthwhile and it was decided to have the Hi-Tye staff work on a printed paper. By hard work and initiative, the staff sold enough ads to support the paper (with a little help from the student body), and set to work on a layout with the Monroe Monitor printer for their first printed paper. The results of all the rush are mirrored in happy faces. Everybody works it seems, especially when the deadline is near! The staff members pictured here are Greta Wieneke, Bonnie Ohlsen, Gladys King, Marilyn Peterson, Barbara Larson, Jo Ann Wall, Jean Santose, Noma Arrants, Mr. Christophersen, Marlene Ricci, Shirley Walker, Joyce Benn, Rae Lynn Hocum. The first issue of the printed paper met with such success that Mr. Christophersen and the printer decided to enlarge the paper to its present size. A printed paper allows the students on the staff much more time to learn journalism and get the actual experience of working on a professional piece of work, plus the added incentive of the pride and enthusiasm occasioned by a job well done and its results favorably received by an appreciative student body. 16 Pledges relax over cokes and report cards. President Kay Foxton cleans up after pot luck with Sultan and Skykomish. Stucteatb t e 'Way On October 7, sophomore honor pledges were initiated at a meeting of the P. T. A. Sophomores were pinned by Marilyn Peterson and Ann Erickson. Juniors received their one bar pins from Barbara Monson; and Kay Foxton pinned seniors with their two bar pins. Monroe Torch was host to Sultan and the new Skykomish Honor Society at a pot luck dinner. It was the first Torch social event for the new pledges. Committees appointed to plan and direct events for each month did so with great success.

To wear a school sweater at Monroe High School, it is necessary for girls to earn 1000 points in G. A. A. , and for the boys to earn a letter in some sport. New members of the boys Big M must box in the annual smoker for their initi- ation. This annual event is thoroughly enjoyed by students and townspeople. Girls' letter club initiations are planned by the last initiates, who do their best to duplicate for the new members the fun and embarrassing situations they experienced the previous year. 18 “Soyi' (£tu z td (?lu Tfla e 'peat ? % Hi Boys’ Club Officers, TOP TO BOTTOM: Ken Oster, Pres.; Rodney McKenzie, Sr. Rep.; Marv Stenberg, Sr. Rep.; Ron Raben, Sec- Treas.; Jerry Berringer, Jr. Rep.; Norm Fisher, Frosh Rep.; Norm Glover, Jr. Rep.; Lars Gunderson, Frosh Rep.; George Valentine, Soph.

The Girls' Club was invited to this program which included a speaker and a movie. One of the new projects was the making of gavels for all the classes and clubs in the school. The boys also helped with the Christmas party and cut Christmas trees for the school. In the spring they staged the annual Inter- Class Track Meet. Girls' Club, under the leadership of Pres- ident Noma Arrants, was again this year an energetic and progressive organization. In October a party was held honoring the Fresh- man and Sophomore girls. Later in the year a contest for the best homemade doll was held. The girls again planned the annual Christmas party and gave the Mother-Daughter Tea in the spring. Many other activities were carried out which made 1955 a year of fun for the girls of M. H. S. Girls' Club Officers, FRONT ROW: Pat Arrants, Cabinet; Jean Smith, Sec.; Shirley Anderson, Treas.

In Sep- tember, they had their annual booth at the fair. October's project was a Dessert Date honoring the mothers of FHA girls. National FHA Week was in November. A different activity was held each day. Some of the activities were a window dis- play in the high school, the giving of red roses to all the women teachers, a birthday party honoring National FHA Week, and the attendance in church as a group on Sunday. On Friday, the girls all wore dark skim and white blouses. In December, the local chapter celebrated the World Christmas Fes- tival by wrapping gifts and sending them overseas. They also went raroling. Other activities planned for the year were a Chili Feed, honoring the fathers of FHA girls; election of officers in May; and the project of helping to move the location of the Teen Center. February was the month the FHA, together with the FFA, sponsored a dance. Advisor: Mrs. Elwood Front row. left to right: Noma Arrants. Elaine McCaffery. Jean Santose. Diane Wilcoxen. Donna Foxton.

Se vicatL The first call for fall football turnout at Monroe High School found a much worried coach, won Jpring just how to fill the gaps in his line left by 17 graduating seniors, many of whom had held berths on the first team. After some cajoling, Mr. Stahl finally built the squad to 25 men, most of them young and inexperienced; some of them gening their first baptism of the gridiron blues . Stamina and perserverance on their part, patience and constant drive on the coaches' put a young, but eager team on the field for the first banle against Langley on September 24. MONROE 13---LANGLEY 6 The season opener proved a pleasant and promising beginning to the football season. Against an experienced Falcon team, the Bearcats surprised an exceptionally large crowd of football enthusiasts by turning the tables and challenging the underdog position they had been touted to hold. After holding the Bearcats on the kick-off, the Falcons tallied in the first period on a pass good for 35 yards, following a sustained march downfield. Monroe retaliated during the same period. A 35 yard run by Don Monson set the Bearcats up for a John Bunge touchdown from the 15 yard line. Jerry Berringer, noted by Stahl as turning in an outstanding performance, smashed over for the extra and winning point. Both teams were scoreless until late in the final quarter when Bunge plunged over from the 2 yard line. Linemen Norm Glover, Hagel, and Van Natta were named by Coach Stahl as turning in an exceptional game. With both teams held scoreless in the opening quarter, the Bearcats gathered the power for a first blood T D early in the second frame. The score came on a galloping 44 yard run by Don Monson with the conversion registered on a Bunge to Raben pass play. By the end of the frame, the Tigers led; but the Bearcats came back in the third quarter to collect a pair of TD’sand a conversion. MONROE 13 --- La CONNOR O MONROE O --- OAK HARBOR 26 The bearcats suffered their first defeat of the season in the Homecoming game against the Oak Harbor Wildcats on Oct. 22nd. Against their opponents, Coach Stahl’s eleven were power- less to stop a touchdown in each quarter, The Wildcats total of 86 plays run, overwhelmed the Bearcats opportunites by no less than 56 plays.. Mel Unruh and John Bunge were credited with the longest Bearcat gains, each carrying the ball for 20 yards. Out of action for the remainder of the season, was Kenny Oster with a shoulder separation. MONROE 6 --- LAKE STEVENS 12 Besieged with additional injuries, the Bearcats suffered their second loss of the season when they fell victim to defeat at the hands of the Lake Stevens Vikings on October 29th. Against their opponents, Monroe collected their only tally on a 5 yard run by Berringer, following a drive from mid-field. Coach Stahl commended the line on its fine play and especially called attention to the performances turned in by Glover, Van Natta, and Berringer. Ron Raben suffered a fractured leg in the melee, and Dick Davis an ankle injury, putting both of them out of play for the rest of the season. Overcoming the disadvantage of losing 60 yards in penalties, compared to the 10 lost by the La Connor Braves, Coach John Stahl's Bearcats won a decisive victory on touchdowns by Jerry Berringer and Kenny Oster in the game on October 8th. Packing the ball on one of the most thrilling plays of the afternoon contest was Ken Oster, who scampered 40 yards for a touchdown after intercepting a Brave punt. Charged by Coach Stahl with exceptional defensive per- formances during the game were Glover, Van Natta, Hagel, Lang, and Lee Donovan. MONROE 45 --- EVERETT B O The non-league contest with the Baby Gulls proved to be the most uninteresting game of the season, with Monroe scoring in every period of play to deal a crushing defeat to Everett B . With Jerry Berringer leading the field in touchdowns scored, Monroe led by 26 points at the half. Bunge's run of 82 yards on a first down was the longest run of the game. While the entire squad played an exceptional game, stand-outs were Berringer, Bunge, and Unruh, whose running was impressive. Injuries resulting in this game put Don Monson out for the rest of the season with a broken leg. MONROE O — CONCRETE 14 The Concrete Lions, in a game played on a muddy, rain-soaked field on November 5, tripped the Bearcats in a 14-0 victory which found the home team unable to penetrate their opponents' line. Coach John Stahl, Manager Dick Johnson, Ass't. Coach Cliff Gillies, Managers Bill Sofie and Rodney Me Kenzie. 35 MONROE 6....TWIN CITIES 7 Coach John Stahl's Bearcats suffered a 7 to 6 defeat when they met the Twin City Cardinals in the last game of the season on November 19th. After a scoreless first quarter Jerry Berringer booted a nifty kick that placed the ball deep in Twin City territory. On the first play, the Cardinals fumbled and Monroe re- covered on the 20. A John Bunge pass to Mel Unruh gave the Bearcats a 6 point margin at half time. The Cardinals' touchdown came early in the fourth quarter with Gary Higgins carrying the ball. The conversion was good and won the contest for the Cards. The Bearcat loss gave the squad a season record of 5 wins and 4 defeats, with bright hopes looming for the 1955 season since, though losing seven seniors, the raw team of 1954 has gained finesse and experience. Twenty three boys will receive letters this year: Seniors--John Bunge, Mel Unruh, Dave Rogers, Eugene Hagel, Jim Van Nana, Lee Donovan, and Ken Oster. Juniors--Dick Davis, Jerry Berringer, Jerry Fessenden, Norm Glover, Norbert Lang, Fred Calhoun, Jim Goebels, Ron Ra ben, Rick Drivstuen. Sophomores--Ron Wolf - kill, Dave Soth, Don Monson, Roy Jellison, Mark Anderson, Ted Donovan, Wes Howell. Van Natta blocks an Oak Harbor play.

A determined Monroe line held until the first down and twenty seconds left in the first half when the Lions went over to register a touch down and conversion. A fumble deep in Monroe territory in the third period accounted for the second touchdown. Coach John Stahl's Bearcats’ tight aerial defense defeated Concrete's passing game, intercepting three as Concrete completed four out of nineteen attempts. MONROE 20 --- SULTAN O The Bearcats threw a decided damper on the Homecoming hopes of the Sultan Turks on November t2th, when they dealt a stunning 20-0 defeat to their traditional rivals. Breaking out to an early start. Bearcat Lee Donovan recovered the opening kick-off on the Turk 41 yard line, thus setting up the first Monroe tally in the opening quarter. Seven plays later, Mel Unruh went over for a touchdown. Jerry Berringer carried the conversion. The second tally of the first frame was racked up by Norbert Lang, who intercepted a pass. Again, seven plays later, Berringer scored; the conversion attempt failed. A Bunge to Unruh pass netted 49 yards and 6 points; Lang stymies an Oak Harbor touchdown drive. a Bunge to Ted Donovan pass resulted in a conversion and 37 final score.

(fatcCude Although the 1954-55 Bearcats did not bring home the honors the teams of previous years did, they showed courage, sportsmanship, and hustle right up to the final game of the year. They won ten and lost thirteen games throughout the whole season. The Stahlmen entered the Jamboree to face a more ex- perienced and taller Granite Falls team. The first part of the season the Bearcats played mostly A league teams: Bothell (twice), Marysville (once), Mt. Si (twice), and our old enemy, Lake Stevens, now in the A league. The Bear- cats came away from the A league games with a three won- -three lost record, giving them a well-earned fifty percent average with the A league. Monroe then settled down to work on the scheduled league games, with Twin Cities as one of their biggest opponents. The Bearcats won their first league game against the favored Oak Harbor five, with Lee Ingraham making seventeen points for his night's total. The first part of the season was a credit to the Bearcats, for they were winning more than their share of games against tough opponents. Left to right: Ken Oster, Frank Agostinelli, Gene Erickson, Ron Raben, Mark Anderson. 1 55 Secteavt Then came the Twin Cities' team, rated as the top team in the league, and also rated high in the state. At the half Monroe was ahead by three points; in the third quarter Mon - roe led; and at the closing seconds of the game the Bearcats were still leading by two points. In the final seconds the Cardinals sank a long shot and won the game 53-52. This was truly a heartbreaker for the Bearcats to lose. The Bearcats lost the last scheduled game of the sea- son to a highly rated LaConner team, putting Monroe in a four-way tie for eighth place and a berth in the District Tournament. In the play-offs, Monroe defeated Sultan, 50- 48 and met Sky on the Sultan floor with the Bearcats getting the long end of the score 51 -36. Playing the champions of the San Juan Island league. Orcas Island, the Bearcats won by the biggest score of the season- 71 -44. In the tournament, the Bearcats lost their first game against Oak Harbor and lost their third game to La Conner, thus eliminating them from the tournament. However, Monroe may still be proud of a good season's 4 j record.

The future Stahlmen also point with pride to their second place finish in league play. Posting a four game winning streak at the end of the season, the Monroe Reserves left a lasting impression when they defeated the pre- viously unbeaten La Conner Braves 37-36 to finish the season with an 8-2 league record. Bob Dotson led the scoring and rebounding totals with 141 points and 157 rebounds for his season's work. Norm Glover provided the Bear- kittens with 98 assists, while Dave Soth led the hustle department by in- tercepting and tieing up opponents 64 times. Don Monson, Ronnie Wolf- kill, and Gene Erickson were outstanding on defense. George Valentine, for his free throw and field goal accuracy, was awarded the second team trophy. The squad gave notice that they will be heard from in future Bear- cat basketball circles. Monroe Opp, Score OPPONENT Score 20 Bothell 36 16 Marysville 48 27 Oak Harbor • 18 40 Mt.
