BOARD OF CONTROL President ----------- Jack Shortley Vice-President --------44 Dick Gastfield Secretary - - - - Fran Maroldo Treasurer - Anne Peterson Advisor - Mr. Griffiths It has been the purpose of the Board of Control to set dates for all dances and special activities, to promote student morale, to provide assemblies for the students, and to handle the money for all activities. Until his enlistment in the Navy, Vernon Jones, Student Body Presi- dent, presided over the meetings. After his enlistment, Jack Shortley, former vice-president, took over the oftice, and Dick Gastfield was elected vice-president. Some of the outstanding accomplishments of the Board of Control this year Were: Building up membership in the American Junior Red Cross, promoting stamp and bond sales, supervising the cleaning of the grounds, collecting Christmas gifts for service men, and providing mov- ies for good attendance. It was also here that the idea of the Annual was born. No small measure of the success of the Board's program was due to the capable guidance of its advisor, Mr. Griffiths.

They led all the other classes in the stamp and bond sales throughout the year and donated 100 per cent to the American Red Cross. They responded willingly to the food drive at Thanksgiving and to the Russian clothing drive in the latter part of the year. This class has truly set an exam- ple of leadership during 1944-45. One of their most outstanding accom- plishments of the year was the presenta- tion of the play Girl-Shy. Under the direction of Mr. Marchant and with the competent support of their advisor, Mrs. Lyon, this class presented to the public the first Senior Play in six years. The - Don LaVera - Frankalene Hooker - Janice Oliphant - Fran Maroldo - Jean Opstad - Mrs. Lyon play was an outstanding success and should provide an entertainment goal at which future classes can aim. Another big event of the year was the Senior Ball, which took place November 17. The class chose as its theme Chi- nese Gardensn and decorated the dance hall in keeping with the mystic air of the Orient. The long hours of planning and decorating were fully justified by the wonderful time which all had on the night of the dance. Four Senior boys answered the call to colors during the year. They were Bud Morris, Neil Willestoft, Fred Boggs and Don Post. Although these students were unable to take part in the graduation exercises, they were graduated with the rest of the class.

This exceptionally talented group of students put on many assemblies for the student body this year. The origi- nality and humor of these programs made them among the best of the year. This class should be complimented on its outstanding work, which is indeed a credit to their school.

We salute this class because of its attitude toward school spirit. They have contributed many worthyviiile ideas for the good of our school and were well represented in all activities. One of the outstanding events of this class was the party given in honor of the Seniors. FRESHMAN CLASS ' Q.

They took their initiation like good sports, and really became a credit to P. T. H. S. Their main activity was the supervision of the cleaning of the grounds, which they handled splen- didly.

This club is composed of all the ath- letically-inclined girls of the school. Its main purpose is to provide an activity period for those girls who could not schedule Physical Education in their pro- grams. In order to earn the awards given at the end of the school year, a girl must play actively in certain sports. A T is given as the first awardg the second and third awards are pins. The main achievement of the club this year was the adding of the service bar and Indian head to their regular T Club sweaters. A pot-luck dinner was given at the end of the year. During this dinner the new officers were elected. Special thanks from the entire club go to Dolly Fraser who has carried on in spite of the shortage of teachers. We arefproud to have this club as a part of our school. ' Q PEP CLUB OFFICERS President ------ Dolly Fraser Secretary-Treasurer ------ Fran Maroldo First 1'ow: Dull, B. DeLe0, W. Williams. Second row: Rideout, Trotlo, Maroldo, Conger, Fraser, Butler, C. Fields. Third row: Deakin, F. Fields, Stroinberg, Cecelia Miller, Y. VVeisell, Luck, WVise. The Pep Club is composed of four rep- resentatives from each class, two boys and two girls, and the cheer leaders. The members are voted in when they are Freshmen, and they become permanent members for all four years of high school. Under leadership of Dolly Fraser the Pep Club has been successfulsin all its undertakings. It has been active at all home football games, decorating the field and advertising the games. They have assisted in organizing and carrying out all pep rallies, and in organizing a cheering section at the games. At one game the members of the Pep Club and the Girls' T Club worked together in forming a very effective white TH on a red background by the use of the dif- ferent-colored -school sweaters.

Second row:, LaVera, Marion, F. Fields, Gast- Iield, Lupton, Whiteman. Third row: Siebenbaum, M. Swietzer, Meyers, Luck, Coach Blevins. Boys' T Club is open only to those boys who have earned a letter in either football or basketball. All new members are initiated and are members until they graduate. Officers are elected at the beginning of each year. Jack Shortley was unable to hold the office of president this year, so Don Meyers, vice-president, became president a few weeks after school opened. For every year a boy earns a letter in one of the sports, he is entitled to add one stripe to the sleeve of his school sweater. Their main activities of the year were the initiation of the new members, and a dance given the latter part of April. K I8 D J 441957 NONETTE First row: Valliere, Van Valkenburg, Opstad, Janice Oliphant. Second row: Joyce Oliphant, Stromberg, Verrier, James, Bukowsky. Third row: Mrs. Lyon, S. McKown, Hane, Bogan, D. Tooker. The Nonette consists of nine girls sing- ing three different parts. Each year the music department makes it possible for everyone who wishes to try out for the Nonette. After m uch consideration, three altos, three second sopranos, and three sopranos are chosen for the group, lighted audiences. One of the progres- sive steps taken this year was the pur- chase of similar outiits, which were brown jumpers and white blouses. The girls usually preferred such songs as Whispering, Moonlight and Ros- es, Tea for Two, and the novelty also, one substitute for each part is chos- en, and two accompanists. This year under the direction of Mrs. Lyon this group has sung to many de- song, Woman in the Shoe. The Nonette is indeed one of the out- standing musical organizations of Port Townsend High School.

This is the third year we have had an organized school band. One of its main activities is to play at Student Body and Pep as- semblies. We will always remember the band as giving an excellent performance at our football and basketball games. Be- tween the halves of some of the games with ease and skill that showed many hours of practice. This year the band started awarding service bars to be worn on school sweat- ers. A bar was awarded for each year of service in the band. When Rabinof, the musician, visited here, the band was active in the ad- vance publicity and ticket sale. The pro- ceeds were put in the Band Uniform the band marched out onto the floor, ex- excuting the most intricate formations fund. A band concert was given the lat- ter part of the year.

Third row: Mr. Baugh, Halliday, D. Johnson, Drake. A group that works faithfully with little recognition by the students is the stage and sound crew. This organiza- tion, under the direction of Mr. Baugh, keeps everything in order and running smoothly. Without this efficient organ- ization, our assemblies, operettas, plays, and other productions would be much less successful. - Q Some of their main jobs are running the films for various classes, setting up scenery for plays and operettas, pulling curtains and attending to all back-stage work which makes these productions possible. Also, they compose the crew which runs the public address system at football and basketball g a m e s, for speakers and for pep dances. Although this group is not given much recognition, without it our school would not be able to function as it does. Our stage and sound crew deserves all the credit we can give it.

Oliphant, Helander, Kany. The Drama Club has presented many short skits on school behavior. The club meets at fourth period on Mondays and Tuesdays. The members of this organ- ization provided the entertainment at the Freshman assembly, and during inter- mission at the Boys' Club Dance. The most important activity of the club during the year was their presenta- tion of the play, Granddad Steps Out , in May. The Drama Club also sponsored a dance for the Student Body. SERVICE SQUAD OFFICERS President - ----- Phyllis Simcoe Vice-President - - - Alice Sanders Secretary - Florence Humphrey Advisor ---- - - - - Miss Casey First row: Miss Casey, Valliere, Van Valkenburg, Plane, P.

The Service Squad, an all-girl organ- ization, completed a successful year with the help, advice, and leadership of Mrs. Vaux, Miss Casey, and the student pres- ident, Phyllis Simcoe. The purpose of the squad is to render service to teachers. By earning so many points a year members receive a merit pin or badge, according to their years of service. The main social event of the year for the Service Squad was a progressive din- ner and movie, held in March. Also, a Bingo party was held at the Rec Hall for the Student Body which was a great suc- cess. 44 22 77 CC 23 pp ORDER OF GREGG ARTISTS OFFICERS President - - ---- - Janice Oliphant Vice-President - - - - - Betty Bogan Secretary - - Anne Peterson Treasurer - - Marjorie Udd Advisor - Mrs. Pringle The Order of Gregg Artists is an inter- national honorary shorthand society with branches in iifteen different countries of the world. The branch in the Port Town- send High School has been in existence for nearly 25 years. The purpose of the club is proficiency in shorthand, although much of the time is spent in typing. In 1944 the first-year students who passed the shorthand pen- manship test were Anne Peterson, gold pin winner, Janice Oliphant, Betty Bo- gan, and Marjorie Udd. This made a very small club, so all those students who had one year of shorthand were permit- ted to attend the meetings as associate members. The annual test was again submitted to New York this year and Jeanne Rob- bins, Frances Maroldo, Thelma Koep- ping, and Jean Kirby gained admission. Anne Peterson again received the gold pin and Jean Kirby a diploma for supe- rior penmanship. Transcription tests were given to the class and this enabled Janice Oliphant, Anne Peterson, Frances Maroldo, Jeanne Robbins, and Marjorie Udd to get offi- cial transcription awards. As well as work, the members have a good deal of fun. A Christmas party was held at the home of Janice Oliphant and this was the biggest social event of the year. The Seniors planned a carni- val for the other members of the club and picnics were for everyone's enjoy- ment. At the last meeting the initation of the new members was held. LIBRARY CLUB OFFICERS President - ---- - Fran Marolclo Secretary - - - - - Jean Opstad Advisor - The Library Club consists of those stu- dents who are willing to give up 'their study halls to act as librarians. During this period they were responsible for the libraryg that is, to check out books, and keep the library in order. This was the club's main activity. If a student spent three or more hours a week in the library, he received an ac- tivity credit. If only one or two hours a week were put in, the students usually used the hours for Service Squad points. The job of the secretary was to record the hours that the students spent in the - - Mrs. Lyon library each week. The art department kept displays on the novelty shelf throughout the year. Some of the most interesting were the Nomad and Nativity scenes. Also, the club decorated the windows of the li- brary for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Book covers were displayed on the study hall bulletin board each week to adver- tise new books as well as those books on particular subjects. The Library Club had no outside ac- tivities this year. Mrs. Mary Lyon had general supervision of the library. K 24 D ORDER G-REGG ARTISTS First row: Janice Oliphant, Marjie Udd, Anne Peterson.

Physical Education is compulsory for at least two of a student's four years in high school. Freshman and Sophomore boys have gym classes two days a week, and receive one-half a credit per semes- ter. There is also a special gym class for any Junior or Senior boys who are able to work it into their schedule. This is a full-time subject, that is, five days a week, and 1 credit per semester is re- ceived. Boys' gym classes take part in such activities as baseball, basketball, tum- bling, and boxing. In these classes boys are taught to play these various games very well, as well as becoming acquaint- ed with the rules. It is in these classes that some of our best athletes are discovered and trained. GIRLS' GYM First row: K. Goodrich, Lewis, H. Kidd, Carol Miller, Lashua, Y.

The Board of Control decided this year that such an unwanted r e c o r d should not continue. The Board of Control appointed Jean Opstad editor for the 1945 Annual, and with the aid of the Administration work was soon under way. Money was raised by student subscrip- tions and advertisements paid for by the Port Townsend businessmen. Bids were submitted for engraving, printing, and pictures. Once the money - Jean Opstad - Bettye Conger - Anne Peterson - Don LaVera - Don Meyers - Fran Maroldo - Homer Lupton - Mr. Griffiths was raised and the contracts were set- tled, only hard work was left to guaran- tee the success of the Annual.

F. hall for their recreation hall. When this club was first organized, names were suggested by the students. The entire student body voted on the names pre- sented, and the title, 'iRedskin Roost, was given to the club, but by popular usage the name has been changed to 'tThe Club or the Rec Hall. Every Friday, under the guidance of chaperons, dancing, ping-pong, and coke are enjoyed by the students. A program has been arranged whereby each organ- ization will sponsor one night a year at the club. These dances have been some of our best. The Sophomore girls, with the help of Miss McClelland, sponsored a hilarious t'Hard Times Party, with sandwiches, apples, and pop for refreshments. The Service Squad also gave the students a night of fun with Bingo. A dance called 'Zluke Box Saturday Nite was given by the members of the Girls' T Club. All these dances were huge successes. The club has given the high school stu- dents a great deal of pleasureg also a place to go under proper supervision. The students wish to thank Mrs. Bukow- sky, Mr. Phipps, and the P.-T. A., for helping them establish this club. 44 41 D SENIOR CLASS WILL WE, the Class of '45, being of sound mind and full possession of our senses and not acting under duress, nor undue influence, do hereby publish and declare this to be our last will and testament in manner following, that is to say: TO THE CLASS OF '46, We do hereby give and bequeath to you Mrs. Lyon as a class advisor, in hopes that you will be as pleased with her as we have been.
