FACULTY Although the faculty was necessarily reduced in number this year from nine to six, the same high degree of quality for which it is noted was maintained and a great deal was accomplished in the educational field. Our home economic instructor Mrs. Kelly, has been in- dispensable to the school for eleven years now. She has this year acted as girls counsellor and advisor to the senior class, who owe her a sincere vote of thanks for all she has done. Mrs. Gaines who took over supervision of the English department in the middle of the year, came back to teaching just to accommodate us by filling the vacancy on our teach- ing staff. She has made a complete success of the difficult job of taking up where someone else left off. In addition to her regular tasks she agreed to direct the senior play on her own time and to the publishing of the nHi Climberu and WTimberline Tattler.n Chemistry and general science were efficiently taught by Miss Dorothy Chamberlin, a graduate of the University of W shington. Miss Chamberlin took on an extra heavy load when there was a shift in the faculty end added typing 1 to her subjects. She also found time to handle girls' sports and cheerfully assist with anything she was asked. During his second year at O.H.S. Mr. Bitzan Frovved coaching football and donated his entire time to instructing commercial subjects and manual arts. Mr. Bitzan has done some very commendable work in his departments, an example of which are the model airplanes which he supervised his class in turning out for the war department and thus furth- ering the war effort. M A basketball team placing second in the league and very note worthy baseball and football teams have been produced by Coach Stoltz, a new member of our faculty this year. Coach also taught history, biology and boys' physical educa- tion, and has won the admiration of the entire student body for the way he works. I i Always ready to lend a helping hand wherever it was needed was our superintendent Mr. Duncan. Somehow, among all his classes We faculty make up thought other duties he found time to instruct the math and to direct the junior play. member of the this year to the time and better, more wish to express our gratitude to every for the extra hours they have put in for the shortage of teachers, and for they have given to molding us into worthy citizens. We only hope that we may prove worthy of their trust. BOARD OF CONTROL The governing faction of O.H.S., or the Board of Control, is composed of class presidents, renresentatives, and student body officers. This year our school affairs were efficiently handled under the leadership of: president, Jean Arnoldg vice-president, Don Littleton: secretary, Dor- othy Blairg treasurer, Alice Blair: and sergeant-at-arms,, Richard Brown. Directed by Mr. Duncan, the Board of Control met peri- odically to introduce improvements and handle all business matters. To this officious group goes a vote of thanks for their time, energy, and for their splendid work. XXX f X N X 9 LEROY ALLIE ' Transfer from Toledo 3 F. F.

SENIOR HISTORY They had told us td.es of horror about high school--- those wicked upperclassmen. They had filled our hearts with feerg our steps with hesitation. , That first morning in 1939 was e memorable one. We were all prepared for the worst, but we found that high school wesn't half es bad as we had anticipated. That is, we thought so until Friday October 13--initiation. Well, after that we decided that strong lenders were necessary to pro- vide us with some protection. Those that seemed well quel- ified were: president,Violet Jncobseng vice president, Betty Osborng secretary-treasurer, Nnioy Cerlisleg sgt.-at-arms, Wendell Beckwith. Mr. Scheele was our advisor. we fared well that first year, and wont beck for more in September 1940. This time we found thot we were among the upper ranks, and could take out our revenge for the pre- vious year on that new class of Fresh. Those selected to Lied us in our sophomore year were:prcsident, Mesemi Kiyone vice president, Richard Brewng secretary, Bette Brenneisg treasurer, Rose Flemingg sgt.-at-arms, Allen Linn. Many of the boys were active in sports, and e number of girls also earned letters in athletics. The rank ef upperclessmen attracted us, end once more, in September l94l, we stood before the door of O.3.S., and felt it beckoning us. This yeer we selected es our leaders, president, Jean Arneldg vice president, James Burnsideg secretary, Alice Bleirg treasurer, Richerd Browng sgt.-et- arms, Dale Woody .and Gloss Representative, Bette Brenneis. Mr. Ringstnd acted ns clsss advisor te us during our Junior YOHTU ' In the ff:ll,we presented our junior plny, Crnzy House. This added nnether play to the long list of successful pro- ductions given nt O.H.S. we joined the seniors in sponsor- ing a Junior-Senior HVN Dance, and worked herd to make it the success it was. we come back to cover the final lap of our high school journey on August 31, 1942. Our enrollment was slightly re- duced, but we csrried on with ever-increasing zest. Elect- ed to serve es leaders in our senior year were: president, Patsy Jacobsen, vice president, Allen Linn, seeretsry, Rose Flemingg treasurer, Ruth Frefjordg Sgt.-st-erms,,Dnrrel1 Dew and cless representative, Violet Jecebsen. In our final year Mrs. Kelly was our very capable advisor. Un May 12, the senior nlay, uReady Made Femilyn was given. It was an hilarious farce in 3 acts, and the applause of the audience gave evidence of a successful performance. We chose as our motto, Wwe build the ladder by which we climb,u and as our flower, the white moss rose. And now we are ready to depart. Our high school educah ttion has furnished us a strong foundation on which to build our lives. We've built another rung on the ladder by which we'll climb to success, TBAVELER'S PARADISE It ' was yesterday, May 25, 1964, that I spent the happiest day of my life, It was a glorious reunion I Every member of the class of '43 was present, and each- had hun- dreds of tales to relate. I was shocked when I viewed the town. I expected tt to be entirely abandoned, but I discovered that a textile mill has been established. Thelma Haskin and Wayne Myhre are co-owners. The town has been completely rebuilt, and it is one of the country's choice beauty spots. It attracts thousands of sight-seers yearly, and has lbeen renamed UTraveler's Peradise.n We met in the same school building which has been pre- served as a tribute to Ruth Frafjord, famed poetess. Cecil Rankin told a number of interesting tales about Borneo, where he has been a missionary for nearly fifteen years. He said the he had met Jim Blankenship over there once. Jim told us that he is a big game hunter, and just arrived in the United States in time to join us at our reunion, On one of Trave1er's Paradise's main street corners, Dale Wood has established a thriving business, He has a fruit cart, and is known to everyone as nGus,H The town's most prominent lawyer is Morris Harms, At present he is defending Russell Workman who is proprietor of the town's junk yard, He manufactures all his own junk, including wrecking cars.

Teacher in the high school. Helping her were Goldie, Gertie, Sadie and Sophie Balfour,the two sets of twin daugh- ters of Mr. and Mrs. Chargaret Franklinl Dick Balfour. Bette showed us all the improvements in the Home Ee room. It has been completely remodeled, and all the equipment is of plas- tic. Violet Jacobsen and Alice Blair are co-publishers of the Hhdvice to Lovelorn Monthly.N Their magazine is well known all -over the United States, and theyfve made a small fortune by eharging tl per question. Allen Linn has estab- lished a night club,the swanky spot of the town. At present he is featuring the band of Dale Jessen. The Jessen Jazzet- tes is the best known band in America. Featured singer is Edythe Hawes, and Theodora Frase is the outstanding saxo- phone player. The telephone exchange employs three of our former classmates.

They have all been there for nearly 18 years, and have as- sumed membership in the National Operators Club Honorary. The First National Bank of Onalaska has as its president, Leroy Allie who says that the work is what he's alwaxs been loekirg for. Chief of Police is Vic Dorkacht.

Rose Fleming is her campaign. manager, and Rose reports that the outlook is slightly more encouraging this year. Patsy has been a candidate every year for the past nineteen years. And now comes the farewells. It is hard to bid our friends goodby, but we know that our reunion has renewed the friendships which had been such an indispensable part of our high school careers. The time is to como when we shall meet again--and new until 1974--we'll be waiting to reunite once more, Class'Will We, the class of '45, being of sane mind, do hereby be- queath to our successors, the following: I, Leroy Allie, leave my little Model A to Ronald Schuttie.

Fifty-five green meek freshmen, not know- ing which way to turn. It took us a very short time to find out however, as the sophomores gave us a helping ihand and thoughtfully led us into initiation. It wasn't nearly as bad as we had anticipated tho, and it gave us a feeling of really belonging here now. Our officers that first year were: president, Don Littletong vice president, Glenn Kinney: secretary, Mable Hayes: treasurer, R. J. Atkins. That first year was an eventful one, with us freshmen proving ourselves in many fields. Bill Sanders and Floyd Quinn earned their first year letters in football, and in- numberable ones of our ranks turned out for all activities. 4 With an entire year of experience under our belt we returned in '41 feeling a good deal more confident. Initia- ting the helpless freshmen gave us a good deal of satisfact- ion and sent us sailing as worthy sophomores led by Mr. Lawson and president, Floyd Quinng vice president. Don Littletong secretary, Lillian Literal: treasurer, R. J. Atkins. Fburteen ambitious gals of our class took over the Barkers Club for the year, the boys turned out in fine style for all three sports and again our class was well represent- ed in all activities These first two years of our high school career were over almost before we realized it and we found ourselves enrolled as full fledged upper classmen. Our junior year was one of fast moving events and growing fame for many of us. President, Bill Paxton: vice president, Daryl Wilsong secretary, Alice Browng treasurer, Kenneth Burnside: sargeant-at-arms, Ruth Kennedyg and class representative: headed our group throughout this successful year with Mr. Bitzan lending a helpful hand. Our first class play went over with a bang as we introduced an amused audience to HAunt Tillie Goes To Townn on the 19th of March. Inspite of the disadvantages wer has brought on us all. we have found in our three years of high school, fun, inspiring work and achievement. We are looking forward to next year in the hope that we can make it count for even more.

The one high light of that first memorable year rms the rousing welcome the class of '44 gave us. We responded with the customary Frosh return party for the sophomores. As a freshman class we were unusually active in the field of sports, music, and all extra-curricular activities. The girls captured laurels for the class by winning volley ball, basketball, and baseball intramurals. Our first high school year was over almost before we realized it, and we were 'beck once more, this fledged experienced sophomores. Ah, now we revenge and this we did on the defenseless, freshmen. We rushed down on them with our merciless initiation. time as full- could get our unsuspecting well-planned, This year we had our president, Maurice Jacobsen: vice president, Bob Brown: secretary, Gloria Clark: treasurer, Jim Parnelg sergeant-at-arms, Kenneth Burchett: representa- tive, Evelyn Saunders, whose duties were taken over by Nellie Baron later in the term. Though ranking only twenty-eight in number we were well accounted for letters while top honors in the school in the Barkers organization. With Miss Chamberlin as our advisor we in all school activities. Ibur boys earned the girls intramural teams walked off with volleyball and basketball. Eight girls served carried our sophomore year successfully forward with anticipation of our years as upper classmen. FIRST YEAR AT O.H.S. We, the freshmen, 51 in all, gazed upon that awe inspir- ing structure, the high school, with slight trepidation on that memorable August 31, 1943 morn, and finally the braver ones of our ranks lead inside. After our first few days of bewilderment, we began to realize that unorganized we could not stand, so turning to our adviser, Coach Stultz, we went into a huddle and came out with the following officers: president, George Keenan, vice president, Ronald Schuttieg secretary, Alice Burchettg treasurer, Helen Lindenang and serge ant-at-arms , Elmer Rachau. ' We were just beginning to decide that high school life was comparatively calm, after all, when our conclusions were swept to the wind by an enrush of initiating sophomores. Bedecked in everything but what we should have been, we were herded in a very impressive march through the very heart of Onalaska. we were individually put through the most ridicu- lous routines before the entire student body, and after an entire day of this treatment, our nerves ,were seuthed by a greatly apprediated initiation party. New we found our- selves ne longer treated as green recruits but rather as full fledged high school freshmen. A return party was in order, and we cane through with a very successful one. Duly initiated and accepted we launched forth on a full year of diligent study and participation in school activ- ities. we were handicapped by the departure of eleven of our class members during the year, but nevertheless we 20 freshmen were prominent in all possible activities. Edward Rogan achieved a rare honor by making a ' letter in beth football and baseball in his first year. Ronald Schuttie distinguished himself by earning his letter as a first string pitcher. George Keenan, and Ronald Kirkpatrick were also outstanding in the field of sports. Not to be out done by the boys, Anna Bingaman, Helen Lindeman,' Eileen Erickson, Beverly Judd, Alice Burchett, Viola Parnel, and Rosalind Davis made all of the girls in- tramural teams.

SOCHZIY Composed, as in previous years, of students with a high scholastic rating the 1942-43 Honor Society added eight stuf dents to its ranks bringing the total membership to twenty- two. Those earning one-bar pins this year with at least 24 points were: Gloria Clark, Mildred Hewgley, Eileen Spoons, Josephine Kalnoski, Dallas Blankenship, Kenneth Burnside, Pearl Nichols, and Dorothy Blair. Two-bar pins, requiring 50 points, went to the follow- ing: Lillian Literal, Laurel Franklin, Alice Brown, Floyd Quinn, Anna Trueman, Bill Paxton, and Virginia Walker. The following three-year members earned at least 80 points and were thus qualified to receive their Torch Pins: Betty Osborn, Patsy Jacobsen, Violet Jacobsen, Jean Arnold, Alice Blair, and Bette Brenneis. Organized this year under the leadership of Advisor, Mr. Duncang president, Bette Brenneisg vice president, Floyd Quinng and secretary-treasurer, Virginia Walker, the Honor Society revised their former constitution so that among other things, it now requires that four activity credits be earned by each individual during his high school career to qualify him to retain his torch pin. A star Service flag bearing one gold star was sponsored by the society in memory of former students who are serving or have lost their lives in the present was. J OURNALI SM The official publications of the high school, nThe Timberline Tattlern and ali Climber,n have for the past two yeers been published in an organized journalism class and thus worked into the regular curricular of the school. During the first semester the paper was put out under the supervision of Miss Thomas. When there was a shift in the faculty at mid-year, Mrs. Gaines took over the responsi- bility of the class and very ably finished out the year as advisor. The nTimberline Tattlern was presented to the student body every three weeks by the staff: Editor-in-chief Assistant Editor Feature Editor - Art Editor ----- Student News --- Sports Reporters ..-ng--qs. ..-...-.-.f....4.-.-----..--- -., -..............-.......----...- .------H -.-.,..-..1,.....,v.----..----Q Q-W, -an--Q Proof Readers ------- M-- Humor and Exchange -.Q-an --- Betty Qsborn Violet Jacobsen - Patsy Jacobsen Kathleen Stonox Violet Jacobsen - Edythe Hawes Margaret Oldoren ---- Jean Arnold Vie Derkecht --- Betty Osborn Violet Jacobsen -------------Thelma HC.SkiI1 Velma Brendon -e Viola Sanders Advertisements e--M-eH--ew-------- Mimeograph Operators-------- --- Vic Derkacht Leroy Allie As has been done in the two previous years our NHi Climbern was mimeographed, and although both paper and annual have been the cause of many diswrought nerves and sleepless nights, we feel that even that price has been worth the results.

A. work, office duties were taken over and competently handled by the senior girls' stenography class. During the 6 periods of the school day Mr. Duncan was assisted hourly by a different shift of girls.

The girls, who Hid a very commendable job of appearing at various entertainments and between halves at the basket- ball games, were always met with spontaneous rounes of ap- plause. The three majorettes, claf in white satin, full skirted, costumes with gold fringec epeulets ann golo O.H.S. mono- gram, twirled throughout the '42-'43 term, adding pep and spirit to every occasion. no LIBRAFY The library functioned during '42 and '43 under the effective handling of student librarians: Bette Brenneis, Alice Blair, Jean Arnold, Beverly Curtis, Violet Jacobsen, Annabelle Wisner, Omadell Nichols, Lois Lindeman, Patsy Jacobsen, Vivian Curry, and Margaret Oldoren. Each girl deserves a great deal of credit and appreciation for the numerous jobs undertaken in order to keep the library run- ning smoothly. Checking out books and magatines, helping students find references was but a small part of the work done. A new plan of checking out books, magazines and refer- ence material to be used by the student was introduced and found to be more effective in making available the use of our library to all students with less confusion and crowding A subscription to the Junior Literary Guild proved popular with the students as the library received twentyfour new books, two monthly, as selected by the editorial board for the best new manuscript submitted by leading publishers during the current year. BAEKEES The Barker's Club is an organization of eight sophomore girls whose responsibilities as a service organization in- cluded taking tickets at games and generally promoting school spirit. Since the organization of the club seven years ago it has always been the practice to have the retiring Barkers select fourteen successors. This year because of the small- er student body and consequent shortage of Barker duties only eight outstanding sophomore girls were chosen to serve during f43. Under the leadership of Miss Chamberlin the following Barkers successfully worked through-out the year: Nellie Baron, Rosie Katyryniuk, Billie Allen, Dorothy Blair, Gloria Clark, Thelma Cusick, Eileen Spoons, and Evelyn Saunders. - TRI L The Tri-L club, which was first organized in 1959, was reorganized this year for the purpose of promoting girls athletics at 0. H. S. One girls athletic club was consider- ed sufficient so the former G, A, A. club was discontinued. Under the supervision of Miss Chamberlin and leadership of president, Jean Arnold: vice president, Rose Fleming g secretary, Ruth Frafjordg treasurer, Alice Blair: and re' cording secretary, Vivian Curry, the club revised its con- stitution and point system. Any girl earning 350 points this year was entitled to a letter, A majority of points hate to be earned by making the intramural basketball, volley ball and baseball teams, but extra points can be made in' track and hiking. The Tri-L letters are now all the same size with bars to indicate the number of years in sports, The girls earning four year letters: Rose Fleming Vivian Curry The third year lettermen: ' Lillian Literal Alice Brown Pauline Jorgensen Those receiving second year letters: Betty Kahler Lois Lindeman Earning their first letter will be: Patsy Jacobsen Rosie Katyryniuk Mildred Hewgley Gloria Clark Ruth Tryon Josephine Kalnoski Josenhine Gottsch Viola Parnel Jean Arnold Ruth Frafjord Annabelle Wisner Bettye Stonex Eileen Spoons Joyce Noble Naomi Davis Helen Lindeman Rosalind Davis Beverly Judd Eileen Erickson Alice Burchett Ann Bingaman SENIOR PLAY Fits!

We find pleasure in recalling the fun that Ruth always got out of life and the way she conveyed it to others. 1 Ruth took over a position on our pep staff at the beginning of this year. with the same spirit she put into whatever she undertook and We shall never forget the way she succeeded as a yell queen. In a like manner she carried out her duties as a Barker: she livened many assemblies with her singing and dancing, and was promi- nent in all school activities, Cheerfulness. friendliness, sincerity, determination,- these qualities will always remind us of Ruth. ln these way-s Ruth brought joy to many: for these things we shall always remember her.

None of the boys had ever used T formation beforeg as a result they started out rather slowly, but the latter part of the season found them in full swing. War time restricted travel 'made it necessary to reduce the number of league .games played tore minimum of four games. 'Four pre-season practice games get us in tune and we followed these up by accounting for ourselves in the winning column as we took our opponents for two games and lost only two. Our first league game was lost to Winlock but we cane back for the next two to trounce on PeE11 and Toledo and emerge the victors. The final game of the season was drop- ped to Mossyrock.
