BDAIQID UF CDNTIQOL The Board ot Control is, in a sense, the head ot the student body. lt is a democratic organization that considers matters oi importance and then presents them to the student body as a Whole. Probably their outstanding Work this year has been the introduction of tootball into Selah's activity pro- gram and the raising of money to back this and other activities. Dave Swanson, as President, Al Thornton, as Vice-president, Gordon Dale, Treasurer, and Lila Watkins, Secretary, were the officers this year. Mr. Smith served as advisor. BUYS' Cl.lJl3 In this active organization all the boys ot Selah high school take part. john Kuzmak served as President during the year. Assisting him Was john Sperline, Vice-president. Clyde Dean took care ot the monoy, while Ralph Sherwood took the notes. Mr. Shearing was advisor. The Boys' Club this year has been quite active. During the noon hours, beginning in December and continuing until March, they held movies in the auditorium. Students paid a nickel to see these shows, many oi which were excellent motion pictures, as Well as being entertaining. This activity pro- vided the club With money for their other projects. On December 15 they successfully put on a smoker , again taking in a good sum of money. Many boys participated in it and enjoyed preparing tor it. With their earnings from these activities, the boys held their annual F ather-Son banquet on April 9. Despite rations and other problems brought on by the War, this banquet was a great success. The boys also cooperated with the Girls' Club in sponsoring a Service Flag tor the school. GIIQLS' CLUB This year the Girls' Club has not been quite so active as in years gone by. Their main source of money was taken away-the selling ot candy dur- ing noon hours and at basketball games, this limited their funds and activities. Yet the girls were not stopped entirely. With the help ot their advisor, Miss Sparks, they took over the sale ot War bonds and stamps early in the year. They have sold S2500 Worth of stamps and bonds. During the months of February and March ninety per cent ot the students of the junior and Senior High Schools bought defense stamps. With the cooperation of the Boys' Club, the girls also purchased a Service Flag, which is to represent all the boys gone from Selah to various branches ot the service. One party Was held during the year-their annual mixer , early in Sep- tember-and was enjoyed by all. The Mother-Daughter tea Was on their pro- gram as usual, May 6. Because of the war no special theme was carried out in decorations, and bouquets ot tulips were presented to the mothers instead of the corsages given in past years. This annual tea is held to acquaint the mothers with each other and With the activities of the Girls' Club. As President this year the Girls' Club had Rosella Conkey. Susan Hors- ley served as Vice-president, Ruth Rodman as Secretary, and Virginia Mc- Laughlin as Treasurer. Marion Oder has done a good job as social chair- man, as has lean Driscoll as vocational chairman. Evelyn I-lauit had charge of the entertainment, Marilyn Drake Was confectionery chairman, and Frances Stephens was advertising chairman.

With that reception the class of '43 immediately fell in step with the upper classmen, marching onward to an educational accomplishment through their freshman year. The class officers of that first year were: President, Gene Curtisg Vice-President, Alvin Thortong Secretary, Marion Grabenstein, Trea- surer, Phyllis Hull. Mr. Quall, one of the class's advisors, was lost to us at the end of the freshman year when he moved to Iowa. As Sophomores the guns were maintained by President Gordon Dale, Vice-President Iohn Sperline, Secretary Marion Grabenstein, and Treasurer Elvin Bjork. The class had a Hard-times party and a picnic. David Swanson presided over the group the following year-the Iunior year of the class of '43. Marilouise Dowdy acted as Vice-President, Frances Stephens took the minutes, and lean Driscoll Wrote checks. Skidding , featuring Selah I-ligh's version of Andy CBob Coxl Hardy, was a credit to this excellenet class. More than ever their extraordinary dramatic talent was displayed. Margaret Barrett, while only a freshman, had played an important part in the operetta, Purple Towers . The banquet with the setting of Indian country was a colossal success. A real Water fall Was trans- ferred from the woods to the gym, losing none of its natural beauty. The Senior Class officers included President, Claudia Deang Vice-Presi- dent, Dave Middleton, Secretary, Bill Wilcox, Treasurer, Alvin Thorton. In spite of war and talk of not doing this or that for the duration, the Seniors planned a successful sneak. Under the direction of Mr. Odman these Seniors gave to the community the most outstanding dramatic production that had ever been presented in Selah High. It was in the form of a play, Lease on Liberty , which was a remarkable feat for high school students. Mr. Shearing and Miss Donnellan did their daily deeds for four years in guiding 64 students to the final date of graduation with two outstanding members, Elvin Bjork and lean Driscoll, as their honor students.

THE JIJNIDIQS The Class of '44 started their first upperclass year with Marion Oder wield- ing the gavel, Fred Iohnson assisting her as Vice-President, Ruth Brown taking the notes, and Ambert Englund in charge of the class money. Their mystery-comedy play, Suspense , held on Ianuary 29, was a big success. Many of the positions on the basketball team next year will be held by the boys of '44-Fred Iohnson, Ray Swanson, and Charles May leading. Other sports the Iuniors participated in were baseball, tennis, and track. The lunior-Senior banquet, held on May l4, with a Dutch theme, was car- ried out excellently, despite the war and the problems it brought. THE SDDHDMUIQES With Les Sperline as President, Dean Hartman as Vice-President, Marjorie Calkins as Secretary, and Maurece Pisar as Treasurer, the Class of '45 started their Sophomore year. Their first activity was a motion picture, which netted them about twenty-five dollars. Their annual assembly was made up of a number of interesting skits. ln place of the usual picnic, the Sophomores had a very successful party on March l9. The class was well-represented in most of the sports. They have much good material for future teams, and the school can expect to see many of this year's Sophomores helping to keep Selah's good record in sports. THE EIQESHMEN During their first year in high school the Freshmen class elected as their officers larnes Dowdy, President, Amy Bjork, Vice-President, Ulma Io Burleson, Secretary, and Allan Matson, Treasurer. They successfully presented a movie, Beware of Spooks , putting away a tidy sum of money for a future date. The Freshman assembly was planned and carried out well. lt was centered around pantornimes depicting well- known songs. The Class of '46 promises to become a good addition to the Selah High School. They have many promising baseball, basketball, and tennis stars. lt seems certain that this class will make a name for itself. JIJNIOIQS I Bark row 7 Dell Eiilrrwim, llyilc Donn. Bette Barrett.

They were tall and lanky and wore cords slightly rolled up, displaying a pair of loud socks and rnoccasins. They laughed and studied and sang Cheer, Cheer . Grad- uation day found them in cap and gown, so proud to be Seniors. When the farewell speeches were spoken, the world with its vastness spelled W-E-L-C-O-M-E in gigantic letters. What a Welcome--a war to win and just some l'kids out ot high school to do it. Well, they are doing it, and we are proud to be following in their footsteps.

The group has thirty-two members, seven ot them being Sopho- mores, eleven luniors, and fourteen Seniors. The requirements of this group are not only good grades, but also parti- cipation in school activities. Trying to build higher standards in the school by encouraging scholarship is the purpose ot this organization. lt also tries to increase interest in fellowship. DEI? CLUB Without a Pep club, a school would certainly be handicapped. Under the supervision of Mr. Koth, Selah's club has been very active this year. The officers are Bob Cox, President, Evelyn l-lautt, Vice-Presidentg Freda Richmond, Secretary, and Dave Carey, Representative to the B. O. C. Marian Graben- stein was in charge ot making programs for the basketball games, Maurece Pisar was in charge of distributing posters in the stores, and Darlene Walker and Evelyn Smith put up the dodgers around school. For the tirst Yakima game a serpentine was formed to go through Selah. For every game the Pep club placed a sign in the hall. Theyalso encouraged good sportsmanship at basketball games by printing slogans on the programs. The Pep club also sponsored the advertising for the Music Festival, dis- tributing dodgers, dressing store windows in Selah, and handling ticket sales for the event. ln addition, advertising and ticket sales tor the All-l-ligh play were handled by the Pep club. FUTUIQE FAIQMEIQS IDI: AMERICA The Future Farmers of America, under the leadership of Paul Beddoe, had a busy year. Richard Matson was elected President and Alan Matson, Vice- President. Bill Powell recorded the minutes, and Garret I-lorsley paid the bills. The reporter was Iirn Matson, and lim Pritchard was Watchdog. More about the F. F. A. and their activities appears on page 33. ALI. HIGH DLAY On the evening of April 30, the All High Play was presented. The pro- gram consisted of two plays, and two groups of selections by the band. The first play, Quiet Please, a one-act comedy, was the story of two brothers who were separated by a chalk line down the middle of their one room cabin, and were carrying on an old feud of silence. Local busybodies try to recon- cile them, but tail, until a young woman enters the picture. Blithely unaware of any barrier, she helps them to at least a temporary understanding. The cast: Elvin Bjork, Ambert Englund, Marilouise Dowdy, Walter Iohnston, Irene Saworth, Donna Schroeder, and Virginia McLaughlin. Esther Donnellan was irector. The second play, given by members of the Public Speaking Class, and directed by Mildred Burt, was Iacob Comes Home, a modern tragedy. The scene was laid in nazi-controlled Berlin, Germany. Members of the cast were: Freda Kershaw, Margaret Barrett, lim McClenaghan, loyce Powlison, Bob Ellis, and Stan McLerran. LIIBIDADIANS Under the leadership of Miss Burt, the student librarians have done very good and very useful work this year. lt has been their duty to prepare old and new books for the shelves, to keep the shelves in order, to repair old books that are not too shabby, to take care ot the magazines, to check out books, to receive fines, and to do other such work in the library. Also they take care of the bulletin board in the library. lt is necessary tor the first year librarians to go to a library class once a week. The librarians this year have been Irma Grace Pankey, Ina I-laftner, Patricia Howard, Chestina Dilley, Eleanor Pratt, Olive May Allen, Evelyn Smith, Mildred Snow, Dorothy Larson, Evelyn McClenaghan, Alizebeth Wilsey, Alice Lyons, Mary Barrett, Louise Brock, Arlene Helmick, Virginia Wood, Pauline Van Hooser, Ladie Thompson, Rosalie Thompson, Nadine Whitney, Charlotte Henning, Bonnie Breeding, Blanche Webb, Pearle Christ- ensen, Iean Buchanan, Violet Melton, Doris Todd, and Marguerite Martin. USHEIQS The ushers have been very efficient in their work this year, making possible reserved seating in the auditorium. At every play and all other school performances, the usher crew have been at work. They were organized at the first of the school year, under the direction ot Miss Donnellan. There are thirteen ushers, both boys and girls. They are lrene Haworth, Shirley Hamilton, Delores Williams, Rosella Conkey, Doris Gooderl, Darlene Walker, Cecelia Lotspeich, Guerron Howard, Robert Ellis, Herbert Helrnick, Walter Payne, Bob Yule and Adrian Brock. ff M , '.,.

Of the five losses during the season, two were by three points, two were by one point, and only one was by more than three points. The Selah five collected 596 points in eighteen games, while their opponents totalled only 50l. In the first round of the valley tournament held in the Ellensburg gymna- sium, Selah tamed the Toppenish Wildcats 33-20, and Ellensburg downed the Prosser Mustangs 38-32. ln the last round Prosser defeated Toppenish to take third place honors, and a strong, undefeated Ellensburg quintet powered to a 53-23 win over the Vikings. High scoring honors go to Charles May with 178 points, whose hard, con- sistent playing, and evident leadership throughout the season won for him the honor of being elected inspirational captain. Chuck turned in the finest performance of the year in Ellensburg, when he scored 20 points in what has been termed a one-man blitz. Second in scoring honors was Ray Swanson with 122 points, the other regular starting forward, and acting floor captain much of the time. Although Ray was handicapped by injuries part of the season, his cool head and steady playing were necessary for the team to per- form at its best. Fred Iohnson, junior guard, Lester Sperline, sophomore guard, and Clyde Dean, center, a transfer letterman from Thorp, are the three fellows who com- pleted the starting lineup, and helped in the fine team-work that was evident throughout the season. Much credit must also go to Ierry Hoagland, promis- ing sophomore who played any position equally well. The other members of the team included Ralph Sherwood, Dick Tyrrell, Herbert Iackson, Don Iohn- son, end Elvin Bjork, all of whom turned out faithfully all during the season. Maurece Pisar also deserves recognition for his fine job as first team manager. Tl-if SEASON'S IQECDIQD Selah Alumni ..... Selah Yakima ..... Selah ................ Yakima .....

SECON D TEAM BASKETBALL The second team basketball boys completed a very successful, if greatly shortened, season with nine wins to their credit and only four losses. Be- cause of limited transportation facilities, the only games played were with the Yakima B squad, Washington and Franklin Iunior High schools, the Alumni, Lower Naches, and the Wapato second string, eliminating entirely the schools farther away. Four games were played with the Yakima second string, and an unusual record was made when the Selah boys won all four of them from the highly- rated Yakima team. Four losses were suffered early in the year, but the team seemed to gain strength as the season progressed and a string of eight wins ended their l3 encounters. Bob Immer, Dean Hartman, Don Hancock, Bob Tibbling, lack Graham, Benjie Iohnson, Ronnie Sperline, Iim Dowdy and Leonard Skjelstad turned in outstanding performances all during the season to receive second team letters. Several other fellows must be given credit for their consistent practice throughout the season, that helped to make the team successful, even though they did not play in enough games to earn letters. They are Lloyd Watson, lim Matson, Dean Iohnson, Al Robinson, Marvin Koreski, Herbert Helrriick. I NTDAMIJ IQAL BASKETBALL If a stranger should happen to drop in on Selah High school at noon some day during the winter months, he would probably wonder just what kind of an institution he had entered. Upon further investigation, however, he would find that it was only the students, with a sandwich in each hand, cheering their favorite intramural team on to victory. The teams are chosen by first squad players from all boys in the school who are not sufficiently skilled or for other reasons cannot play on the first or second squads. Teams were chosen this season by Dick Tyrrell, Ralph Sher- wood, Fred Iohnson, Don Johnson, Elvin Bjork and Herb lackson. The games were full of excitement through the entire season. After con- siderable tussling the four top teams were determined. These four teams were coached by Fred Iohnson, Dick Tyrrell, Don lohnson and Herb lackson. By the score of 32-30 Fred's team eliminated Don's. Another close game followed when Dick's team beat Herb's, 24-21. Fred's team then grabbed the championship from Dick's by a score of 33-ll. The players on the championship squad were Bill Wilcox, Lloyd Watson, Gerald Brosnan, George Youngren, Dick Iohnson and Marvin Koreski. Dick Tyrrell's team, which won second place, was composed of Vern Lindsley, Keith Matson, Alvin Robinson, Wayne Odom, Fred Van Lith and Maurice Iones. GIIQLS' SDCIQTS Last tall, Viking girls vigorously began another year oi intramural sports, Soccer Was the iirst sport. Every team had very successful turnouts and tour very tine teams were chosen. Out ot the tour class teams, Miss Sparks chose an honor team consisting ot girls who were the best all-round players, and Who hadthe bem adnude and spommnandnp. The honorsoccerteanicone sists oi the following: Faye Watson, lackie Hamilton, Evelyn I-lautt, Shirley Monroe, Mildred Snow, Ernestine Roberts, Violet Krein, Marian Grabenstein, lanet Freimuth, Freda Richmond, Ruth Rodman, Marilouise Dowdy and Mari- lyn Drake. Miss Sparks chose Freda Richmond as the outstanding player. She is tast and accurate, and can play any position equally well.

As the weather became colder, the girls moved into the gym, for volley- ball. The Seniors, losing but one game, won the tournament, but the Fresh- men came in close behind with the record of all games won but two. The Iuniors held third place, and the Sophomores took the fourth place. Miss Sparks again chose an honor team from the four teams. Irene Haworth, Maudena Hobbs, Evelyn Smith, Virginia McLaughlin, Freda Richmond, Ernes- tin Roberts, Faye Watson and Marian Grabenstein were chosen as the out- standing players from the four class teams. Ernestine Roberts was chosen by Miss Sparks as the best all-round volleyball player. She is extremely effective at the net, and makes very few mistakes. Basketball followed volleyball, and was by far the most popular sport of the year. More girls turned out for this sport than for any other sport dur- ing the entire year. Viking girls are lucky to have intramural basketball teams because some schools do not include this in their program. Basket- ball requires skill in guarding, passing and shooting. Those who were the most skilled along these lines, and those who displayed the best sportsman- ship were chosen by Miss Sparks as the honor team. The all-star basket- ball team includes the following girls: Freda Richmond, Marian Grabenstein, Shirley Monroe, Evelyn Hauff, Ianet Freimuth, Ernestine Roberts, Marilouise Dowdy and Marilyn Drake. Ianet Freimuth was selected by Miss Sparks as the best basketball player. By covering very completely in her position as guard, she allows few scores to be made. During the spring season, the girls had three track turnouts. Track in- cludes distance throws, timed fifty-yard dash, volleyball serving, basketball free throws, baseball pitching, potato race, and hop-skip-and-jump. A maxi- mum of 100 points can be obtained if the girls are experienced along these lines. Again, as in the past, the girls have taken part in hikes. There are a maximum of eight hikes a year. The greens hike was again eliminated this year, because of a shortage of gas and tires. Each hike counts twenty points, but not more than 100 points can be gained from hikes. Finally, when spring arrived, the girls moved outside to the baseball diamond, for an exciting season of good old baseball. Four fine teams were chosen, but Miss Sparks felt that there were outstanding players on all the teams. Since it is so early in the season, as the Fruitspur goes to press, she has not as yet chosen an honor team. This will be done later in the season after she has had more time to measure the girls' skill. The usual Big S Club has not functioned this year, except in name. It is now an honorary club consisting of girls that have earned at least one Big S letter in girls' sports or tennis. BASEBALL zlck 1'owfR11lph firm- ton, ifhurles Hoydalr. V 1: r n c Lindsley.

BASEBALL Last year marked Selah's fifth consecutive year of championship base- ball in the valley. This years team are determined and confident that it shall not be the last. This year's batting stars are none other than Gordon Dale, who i.s lead- ing with an average of 562, Vern Lindsley 466, and Les Sperline 391. Last year's three top batters had an average of 406, while this year's three top men have an average of 473. The pitching honors go again this year to that master of the speedball, Iohn Kuzmak. Among his many feats was a pitching duel with Marquette in which he pitched 12 strike-outs. Selah won the game with a score of l-0. An- other pitching duel occurred between Bob Dwinell from Yakima and Kuzmak in an ll-inning game. Behind the plate is that champion hitter and fast catcher, Gordon Dale. The infield is as follows: first base, Vern Lindsley, sec- ond base, Lester Sperline, third base, Bob Cox, and shortstop, Balph Sher- wood, while holding down the outfield are Bay Swanson, left field, Don johnson, center field, and Dave Swanson, right field. Those in the long line of reserves are Bob Eitzhuah, a promising catcher, Leonard Skjelstad, for first base and outfield, and Fred johnson and Dave Carey as outfielders. Some very promising freshmen are Bonnie Sperline for catcher, Bob Swanson for pitcher, and Bob Tibbling and Dean lohnson as infielders. Due to war conditions, games have been exceedingly hard to arrange this year. However, despite the difficulty in obtaining games, Selah has de- feated Marquette twice, 6-4 and l-0. Selah has been defeated twice by Yakima, 4-7, and in an ll-inning game, 2-3. Selah has defeated Toppenish twice, 20-4 and ll-2. Selah has defeated Wapato once, 3-4. One more game is scheduled with Wapato and a series of three with Yakima are yet to be TENNIS A The coming of spring is marked each year by the beginning of tennis turnouts. Tennis, under the able coaching of Everett Koth, is one of the major sjorts in Selah high school. Among the girls playing this year were Ianet Freimuth and Delores Williams as singles players: the girls' doubles players were Virginia Mc- Laughlin and Ruth Rodman, Evelyn Smith and Amy Bjork, and Marilyn Drake and Dorothy Valentine. The boys' singles were nicely handled by Elvin Bjork, Dick Tyrrell and Gerald Brosnan. Boys' doubles were played by Dean Hartman and Bob lmmer, who were valley champions in doubles this year, and by Mervin johnson and Carl Devoir, Herb jackson and Benjie johnson, and Dick Tyrrell and Ambert Englund. Everyone except Freirnuth, Williams, and Bjork will be back, so Selah can expect even greater things from the team next year. played. TDACK With a better track team than usual this year, and the excellent coach- ing of Mr. Shearing, Selah finished a short season in grand style by winning the last triangular meet played here with Cowiche and Tieton. Seven men and a manager participated this year, all of them winning letters except one. Much credit should go to these seven men who participated in track this year for they turned out faithfully and worked hard the entire season. Exceptional credit should go to Billy Wilcox-broad jump, high and low hurdles, and relayg Fred Van Lith-mile, and relay, and Chuck May-high jump, broad jump, and relay, who were up among the best all the way. Others on the team were Frasier Schmitt-relay, discuss, and shot-put, Keith Matson-mile and relay, Glenn Pratt-high jump and 220 yard dash, and Frank Brown-half mile and relay. Lloyd Phinney was their manager. FDOTBALI. Selah High Schools football career has begun! Whether it be a success or a failure depends on the students alone. ln the future, it will be what they put into it. Nothing more than that can be expected from it. lt is the hope of all who have worked so hard to bring football to Selah, that in the future the Selah Vikings will fight their way to victory in football as courageously and determinedly as they have in all other sports they have participated in. The establishment of football in Selah High is marked by many years of struggle and fight, but it was a winning fight from start to finish. The students knew what they wanted, and with the hard work and cooperation of everyone, they got it. Both boys and girls alike dug down deep in their pockets, some contributing as much as ten dollars apiece. At the end of the drive for contri- butions, a total of S190 had been obtained. Still, more money was needed, but this didn't stop Selah High. Not by a long shot! The boys combed the hills for scrap iron and other metals which are so valuable to the war effort. Every old tin pan, stove, iron bed, plows, junk cars, etc., that could be found was brought to the scrap pile. To date, that work which the boys did, and many of the girls also, has netted the very nice figure of 5317, all of which will go towards football. Last fall eighteen football suits were purchased, the cost of which was ap- proximately S400. Eight more suits have been purchased for next fall. The cost of these will come to somewhere around 3185. Before entering inter- school competition, they will need to have between 35 or 40 suits altogether. As can be plainly seen there is considerably more work to do before the school will have a complete and adequately equipped football team. No inter-school games were played this year, however, regulation six- man football was played between four teams which were captained by Iohn Sperline, Buzz Dean, Dan Berreth and Bob Cox. An elimination game was played, and was won by Buzz Dean's team. Those on the winning team were: Dave Carey, Chuck Banko, Bonney Sperline, Don Browne, Walter Payne, Ralph Sherwood, Keith Matson and Iim Matson. Among many things yet to be done in connection with football are the building of a fence around the field, seeding the field with lawn seed, etc. In all probability, when football is completely established, the price of S. A. A. tickets will have to be raised to 33.50, part of which will probably have to go towards the financing of the sport. The prospects for football next year are not so bright, due to war condi- tions and the fact that school will not begin until between October 18 and October 25. However, one thing is certain, and that is when this war is over, Selah will be ready to play football and to win. DIDAIMATICS MUSIC AND ' 7 , VIKING MUSIC - '42 - '43 Perhaps in no other year has the music department of Selah High been such an unqualified success. All performances were enthusiastically enjoyed by those who heard them. Credit for all this is given to Mr. Mark Van Auken, our energetic music supervisor, who will leave soon after school is out to join the armed services. New additions to the music department this year were the Boys' Glee club and the Orchestra. The Boys' Glee club sang for the Father-Son banquet, and other musical programs this year. Humorous college songs and stirring marches, such as Stout Hearted Men , were sung. David Middleton was the accompanist. A Girls' Triple Triad was selected from the Girls' Chorus last fall. They have sung for outside groups, besides assemblies and the other music programs. The band and choruses, musical organizations already established in years before, showed considerable improvement in perform- ance ability by their extensive repertory and finished interpretations. Naturally the war has curtailed some of our peace-time music functions. Because of it, there was no music festival at Ellensburg this year. Instead, however, there was a solo and ensemble contest held in Yakima on April 16. Our two solo entries were Margaret Holm, clarinetist, and Frances Hoydar, pianist, both members of the junior class. The high spot of the year was the Voice of Freedom , a Victory Festival, given by all the high school music groups Friday, March l2. No admission was required for this program, but instead, the purchase of war bonds and stamps admitted the bearer. Culminating a weelc's drive to sell stamps and bonds as admission, was the announcement by Mr. Campbell, just before the program, of a total of 259,000 worth sold! The Victory Festival was a fast- moving musical program with emphasis on patriotic American music. The first part of the program consisted of a group of songs excellently interpreted by the Boys' and Girls' Glee clubs and the Mixed Chorus. Following this came a group of band numbers which included The Marines' Hymn , and The Army Air Corps March. Boogie Woogie Band was enjoyed by the younger generation for its strictly modern tempo. Elvin Bjork joined with the band on the final number to relate humorously the story of the small town band that could play but one piece-Hlolly Good Fellow , and yet played for funerals, parades, dances, operas, minstrel shows, A patriotic pageant, My America , brought the program to a close. Featured songs were The Flag of Flags , with trumpet fanfare, God Bless America , and as a grand finale, the famous Voice of Freedom , adapted from Rubinstein's Kammenoi Ostrow and performed by the Mixed Chorus and Band combined' For variety the entertaining jug, Bottle, and Fife Band, composed of members of the Pep Band, played several numbers. The Triple Triad made a contrast, as they appeared in formals and with soft light. They sang two sentimental popular songs. The annual Christmas Vesper service was another of the music programs for this year. Our newly formed Orchestra played before the program. All the vocal organizations sang in this, and also groups from the grades. Some of the pieces sung by the High School groups were Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones , Coventry Carol , Ave Maria , and Integer Vitae , as well as the traditional carols.

'SSUSDENSEU On the evening of Ianuary 15 the Iuniors, under the able direction of Miss Burt, presented their annual play, Suspense , a Glenn Hughes mystery comedy. The action takes place in the country home of Stanley and Mrs. McBride lArmand Gagner and Frances I-loydarl. Stan is a radio Sherlock Holmes, and when a cigarette case with a mystery falls into his lap he solves it, to the amazement of his sponsor, Mr. Brownlee tCarl Devoirl, and his assistant, Roy Bishop or Dr. Watson, as he is known to their radio audience Ulmbert Eng- lundl. Betty Archer lDonna Symmondsl, gets her newspaper story, as well as Dr. Watson, in the same evening. Mr. Putman CRobert Grabensteinl, a Sherlock Holmes fan, has an enjoyable evening and adds to the climax. The maid Pauline CVirginia McLaughlinl, believes and proves herself to be an able sleuth with boomerangs, brass knuckles and all. George Spencer and his companion, Madeline Revelle lFrank Brown and Susan Cameronl, are both mysterious people until she breaks the mystery. Whitey Wilson CGlen Larsonl, tries to get the case too, but runs into a wall, or rather jujitsu with Pauline. Others with an interest in the renowned case are Barbara Field CElsie Ayersl, a nurse, and Mrs. Slater CRuth Coxl, a widow with plenty of spite and money. Slim Lynch Clohnny Loofburrowl, a deputy sheriff, considers the whole thing a publicity stunt, until Stan broadcasts the mystery with the conclusion, to the satisfaction or displeasure, as the case may be, of all. WLEASE UN LI l3Iil2TY The Senior class play, Lease on Liberty , was presented November 20, and was directed by Glen Odman. This was the last play Mr. Odman directed betore leaving for the army, and it added to his list of fine plays. A large cast of Zl players turned in an unusually good performance.

A. as it is commonly known, is the national organization of, by, and for boys studying vocational agriculture in public schools under the provisions of the National Vocational Education Acts. As an integral part of the program of vocational education in agriculture in the public school system of America, the F. F. A. has become well-known in recent years. No national student organization enjoys greater freedom of self- government under adult counsel and guidance, than the Future Farmers of America. Organized in November of 1928, it did not enter the list of Selah High School activities until in 1940, when it was added as an inter-curricular activity in connection with vocational agriculture. The Selah chapter, under the leadership of Paul Beddoe, has grown considerably this year, and has been a very active club. The goals set for the year were: l1 to make the Selah chapter one of the largest in the State of Washington, 21 to develop pure-bred swine projects among members and improve the swine in Selah, 31 to build a house for the broiler project, providing members with experience in farm carpentry, 41 to raise broilers, providing meat for the war effort and providing members with experience in poultry raising, 51 to sell shares in the broilers, providing mem- bers with experience in holding shares in an organization, 61 to assist mem- bers in locating desirable animals, seed, and supplies, 71 to improve projects of the members, 81 to assist members to start continuation projects the first year, 91 to encourage the use of certified seed and sires, 101 to encourage members to try for Honor Society, 111 to hold parent-son banquet, 121 to pro- vide basketball as recreation for meetings, 131 to provide members with ex- perience in crop culture, 141 to teach cooperation by the brooder house project, broiler project, crop project, and banquet. These goals were capably and completely achieved. ln November a brooder house was built by the members, giving them experience in carpenter work. Three hundred baby chickens were purchased in the spring. Raising these broilers gave the members experience in poultry raising and also pro- vided meat for the war effort. In the spring a crop project was undertaken. Land obtained from the schools is now sown in various crops. This helped the war effort by provid- ing food, and the members gained by their work in crop culture. Milk testing equipment was offered to the dairymen and many of them took advantage of this chance to test their milk. On December 12, 1942, the chapter had a chicken dinner for their fathers. Richard Matson was toastmaster, and Marion Bunnell from the County Exten- sion Agency was guest speaker. This gave the fathers a chance to become acquainted with the F. F. A. The F. F. A. also had an active basketball team. They played many other chapters and this gave them a chance to become well acquainted with the F. F. A. of other schools. Members of the F. F. A. were encouraged to try for the school Honor Society. Activity points are given for F. F. A. activities, and requirements have been set up whereby a letter may be earned by participation. The wide experience and knowledge these boys gain will aid them in their future as the backbone of America-its farmers and agricultural leaders.
