Text from Pages 1 - 82 of the 1947 volume:

BBBICMTION 10 J. ft. S The able Past President of the School Board, whose kind and active interest, untiring efforts, and earnest endeavor in our behalf has been a source of inspiration for us all, we in appreciation dedicate our 1947 SAILORS’ LOG. The staff of ’47 has been proud to prepai’e the second annual in S. S. H. S. for many years. The difficulty in obtaining materials, pictures, etc., was not quite as great as last year, but the difficulty was still there. Much hard work and many houi’s have gone into the ’47 edition of THE SAILORS’ LOG, and we hope we can say it is one of the best yet. This hasn’t been an easy annual to publish, but we feel we have worked to capacity. We sincerely hope the class of ’48 will follow in our footsteps and produce an even better SAILORS’ LOG next year. n PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1947 FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE STUDENT BODY OF STEAMBOAT SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL Editor-in-Chief___________ Assistant Editor-in-Chief- Production Manager________ Business Manager__________ Advertising Manager_______ Social and Literary Editor.

S. H. S. assembly hall as forty-two green freshmen. Sponsored by Mrs. Campbell they were egotistical and ambitious (most freshmen are). Just to start the year right the dubious sophomores initiated them. Barbara Clay looked especially charming that day (as well as Don Kinney and all the rest of them). They all worked hard that year and were glad to claim the best party of the year. However, it was explained later that the freshmen always have the best one. They tried hard and did real well on War Bond drives, too. At the close of the year they enjoyed a nice picnic up Butcherknife Canyon—and without one fatality, too. Well, three months later, they were back again—only this year leamed sophomores, and sponsored by Helen Newquist. With Doris Birkett as president, they were off to another good start. They all got a huge kick out of initiating the “green” freshmen; but all is fair in love and war, and high school. Once more they presented a nice party with St. Patrick’s Day as the theme. After a whole year of study, fun, and laughter, they had a nice picnic down by the “Old Mill Stream” some place. And then they were juniors. Next fall that same class—some old, some new—took their places once more in S. S. H. S. assembly hall. This year was by far the busiest year of the three. First there were the games. They sold concessions at these games to help finance the Junior-Senior Prom. Then, it was time to get started on the play, “Lady Spitfire.” They enjoyed presenting the play with Mrs. Rorex as the director. Next, it was time for the class party. (By this time their sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Foster, were nearly gray-headed). However, they were all satisfied with the party with “Bobby Sox Brawl” as their theme. Oh, yes! During the National Ski meet they made a cute, chubby polar bear on the corner in front of Boggs’ Hardware. Well, finally prom time rolled around and they were all as busy as beavers planning the decoration, banquet, place cards, and all the trimmings. They chose laven- der and gold as the class colors, the columbine as the class flower, and “Upward Ever, Downward Never” as the class motto. Well, finally, after all the work, fun, work, planning, and work they presented a successful prom with the “Lure of the Woodland” as the theme. This year the mighty seniors came back to take their stand as the upper classmen. With Vance Gates as president and Mr. Sauer and Mrs. Campbell as sponsors they sponsored a party which most students say was the best party of the year, called the “Candlelight Fantasy.” A play was also on our docket named “Cross My Heart.” Toward the end of the year they pulled a fast one and went to Venial, Utah, on their sneak day. The highlights of their last year in high school are probably these: Keith Wegeman crowned as champion boy skier west of the Mississippi, seniors won the intermural basketball trophy, Jack Eckstine announced his engage- ment, Kinsey and Kinney selected on the all tournament basketball team, R. Scott, Waggoner and Kinney were selected on the all conference football team, T. Scott joins the Navy, D. Birkett selected as all tournament cheer- leader, and Gates takes out freshman girls. That being the end of their high school days, they closed the book of “47” to be scattered to the four winds: North, South, East, and West. Oun ,cut TOM a cd ‘Te tamettt Being of sound mind and of a disposing disposition, we, of this Senior Class of Steamboat Springs High School, do hereby will and bequeath the following articles: To the Board of Education, that has so generously provided for us during these four years past, we do hereby bequeath all the broken window panes and chairs, the finger prints on the walls, and the ink stains on the floors and desks, these same to be held in trust for the succeeding grades. To our highly esteemed superintendent of public schools, Mr. Hahn, we bequeath the new book of rules that this present class has labored over so faithfully for the past months, said book containing provisions for an increase of holidays to one, bi-weekly, changing the hour for opening at one, with two recesses fifty-nine minutes each. Said book also recommends the purchase of a silver waiter, on which the credits of promotion be pre- sented to the pupils, instead of the old way of studying for them. To our beloved principal, Mr. Sauer, we bequeath our undying love and affection, with the request that he give to the next class the same guidance and justice that he so generously meted out to us. As a visible token of this love and affection, we also bequeath to the said Mr. Sauer, all the old caps, belts, knives, fountain pens, pencils, vanity cases, lipsticks and ragged books that he has so jealously guarded for the past months. To our much-loved teachers, each and every one, we bequeath a liberal yearly annuity of examination papers to grade, note-books to correct, and averages to make. To the library we bequeath all the detective stories, Wild West Maga- zines and other junk we prized so highly and read so carefully all year. To the janitor of this Steamboat Springs High School, we bequeath all the mud we have tracked into the building, all the chewing gum, so generously stuck on the floors, and the millions of loose papers in the desks. To the Junior Class, following us, we do hereby bequeath our old seats, with the tacks that tear our clothes; our old books, with most of the leaves loose or gone; all the mistakes we made, and all the knowledge we failed to learn. To the same class, we bequeath the proud privilege of being Seniors and lording it over the younger ones, of always heading the lines and getting the choicest seats and food during lunch. I, Margaret Anderson, will my height to Jimmy Early. Gerald Arnold wills his herd of cows to Marvin Crawford, knowing they will be well taken care of. I, Marian Barnes, being of sound mind, bequeath my poise to Elsie Merrifield. I, Doris Birkett, leave my cheerleading ability to Diane Light. Barbara Brunner generously leaves her singing voice to Ted Dunker. I, Donald Kinney, leave, after much afterthought, my curly hair to Joe Cruse. To Donald Dismuke, Norma Chritton contributes her artistic ability. Barbara Clay wills her seductive voice to Marlene Crawford. Kaye Cross leaves her little, black Ford in the able hands of Alderic Scoggins. With serious consideration Bob Lager leaves his slightly used typing paper to Jimmy Smith. I, Margaret King, do hereby will my ability to make high marks to Jack Sprengle. Donna Williamson wills her quietness to Myra Montoya. To LaVonne Blake, Ramona Ferguson leaves her twirling batons. Keith Wegeman leaves his skiing ability for Katy Rodolph and Billy Gear to fight over. Rosa Dixon wills her engagement ring to Ann Carter. I, Jack Eckstine, do hereby will my convertible to Imogene Hitchens. To Glen Barber, Dick Waggoner leaves his ability to be tardy. Vance wills his argumentative ability to the worthy Delores Fairbanks. I, Verna Hidy, do hei’eby bequeath my excellent articulation to Billy Cullen. Harriet Kemry wills her ability as authoress of horse stories to Evelyn Shelton. Kenneth Kinsey wills Ann Carter to the lucky guy that can take care of her. Jean McFarlane wills her “come on smile” to Bob Schriner. I, Enid Reynolds, willfully give my saxophone to Barbara Hulburd. To the able Marian Morris, Terry Scott bestows his prize collection of jokes. Bob Scott, being of sound mind, wills his shyness to LuGray Hulburd. Ilagrace Webber leaves her drum majorette ability to Shirley Arnold. Eloise Wheeler wills her chubbiness to Betty Sue Tomlinson. I, Elsie Zulian, do hereby bequeath my “voice with a smile” to Betty Hill. Naomi Murphy unselfishly wills her high heels to Emma Lou Waggoner. Barbara Barker wills her gorgeous tresses to Janie Zulian. James Clay wills his broad shoulders to Delmar Shorthose. To this school, our beloved Alma Mater, in order to show our appre- ciation of all that it has done for us, we do, in this last will and testament, hereby bequeath the amount of ten thousand memories, with which to erect a bronze tablet, a lasting memorial of this Senior Class of 1947. (SEAL) 'PiofiAecy (The next few pages are printed without the pel-mission of Don Kinney, notorious filling-station robber.) December 4, 1968. Dear Diary: In the last five months I have been taking a two weeks’ tour of the United States which lias convinced me that my 1932 Plymouth is worn out. I left Sing Sing at midnight July 1st, and went straight to New York City. There I met Rosa Dixon who is a boarding-house keeper for knitting-factory girls. From her I learned that Doris Birkett, w-ho is doomed to be an old maid, is in charge of the fumigating department at Ellis Island. Also in New York are Barbara Clay, who is one of the higher- ups in Norma Chritton’s chewing-gum factories, and Jean McFarlane, the famous tight-rope walker. Upon arriving in Washing-ton, I barely missed Senator Barbara Barker. It is rumored that Harriet Kemry, after serving four terms as White House cook, and having become acquainted with all the state secrets, has decided to run for president. That is a shame, be- cause Mrs. Ratraps, the former Miss Naomi Murphy, has enjoyed her past ten years there. Down in Hilltop County, Arkansas, I met Jack Eckstine, manager of the local general store. He informed me that Kaye Cross had invested her last cent in a chewing tobacco factory processing firm ten years ago, and today she is the wealthiest woman in Tennessee. I wanted to stop in St. Louis and chat with Jim Clay, head of the local police force, but a man with my record has to consider a thing like that from several angles. While in Kansas City, I heard Ilagrace Webber’s orchestra, “The Sleepy Sixteen,” play. Singing on the same program was the famous opera star, Miss Barbara Brunner. She is a successful writer of songs, her latest two being “We Both Chewed the Same Stick of Gum,” and “When Papa Threw the Bootjack at the Cat.” It is rumored that she sells these hits through Kenneth Kinsey’s musical agency. I left for Colorado broke and low on gas. From then on I obtained my gas and oil free of charge (one way or another). I found very few people in Steamboat that I recognized. Donna Williamson is proprietress of a millinery shop under the trade name of the “Three Dollar Hat Shop, No Two Alike.” I learned from her that the president and co-owner of the “World-Wide Spaghetti and Meat-Ball Works” in New Mexico is Gerald Arnold. I spoke with Dick Waggoner who was very worried at that time. It seems that his “Builders, Contractors, and What-Nots” were low- bidders on a new bridge across Butcherknife Creek. On the edge of town are the mansions of Elsie Zulian and Enid Reyolds, both retired inventors. Just a week before, Eloise Wheeler, who has spent the last two years traveling the globe in search of a husband, announced that she and her next door neighbor are to be married in the next two weeks. Keith Wegeman is now in Egypt. Pursuing his love for archaeology, he became associated with a famous band of Egyptologists, and is now serving them, very successfully, as a water carrier. I stopped in Rangely and visited Bob Lager, who supplies the city with fresh dairy products. He is dis- couraged, though. He says the people are much more interested in their oil than in his milk. In Salt Lake City I ran into Vance Gates. From 1948 to 1965 he was a professional hobo. But I guess he grew tired of that job and after two years of college in ’66 and ’67 is now owner of the “Gates Rubber Co.” in Salt Lake. Edith Reynolds married a rich man and lives in Ogden. I saw Margaret Anderson, the famous movie star and short story writer in Hollywood, but since the authorities were hot on my trail and I wasn’t sure my Plymouth would start again if I ever stopped, I left town without speaking to her. Going south I passed by Ramona Jason’s farms. Poor Miss Ferguson. It is twelve years ago this fall that her husband died. Every year since then she raised 800 acres of onions by herself. I read in Margaret King’s newspaper, “Galloping Gossip,” that Admiral Terry Scott of the U. S. Navy and his brother, R. D. (Bob) Scott, who has just returned from South America with sixty alligators, are having a reunion in Los Angeles. I also read that Miss Marian Barnes, after having accumu- lated a fortune by gathering snails along the coast and selling them to French restaurants, is retiring. It was while I was eating lunch in a small cafe that a large, muscular woman came in and sat down beside me. Yep! That’s right. Miss Verna Hidy of the F. B. I, had spotted that gray 1932 Plymouth coupe outside, the same one that she used to dodge in Steamboat. Well, here it is only two days later and I’m back in cell 7757, Sing Sing. The senior party was one of the most outstanding parties of the year. Much hard work and original thinking made it so. The theme of the party was “Candle Light Club.” This theme was carried all through the party—decorations, etc. Individual tables adorned with candles and small lunch cloths surrounded the dance floor. The center piece was a huge bunch of pastel colored balloons, which were let down at midnight. The excellent music was furnished by Bob Scott’s records. The whole gym was decorated in red and white, with a lane leading to the dance floor. At the door each person drew a number for the door prize. Ruth Cruse was the lucky girl, and won an Eversharp pen. The program was super, also. Barbara Brunner sang two numbers, and Doris Birkett played a piano solo. Two floor shows consisted of the Andrews Sisters (alias Kenneth Kinsey, Dick Waggoner and Bob Lager) who sang “And Her Bathing Suit Never Got Wet;” and Don Kinney, Vance Gates, Terry Scott, Dick Waggoner, and Nonna Chritton enacted “In the Merry Month of May.” Refreshments of sandwiches and cokes were served during the evening by waiters chosen from the senior boys.

Under the able direction of the junior president, Joe Cruse, the junior class as a whole undertook the job of the Junior Prom. The theme of the Prom this year was “Dancing on the Ocean” and the gym was at its peak in glory, all decked out in blue and white with the orchestra in the background. To say it looked nice is putting it mildly. The beautiful array of formals mingled with the dark suits of the boys made a fitting finish to all the hard work and thinking on the part of the junior class. The highlight of the evening was the colorful grand march led by Joe Cruse and his charming companion. Mrs. Tinker and her orchestra furnished the music for this and the evening of dancing. Barbara Barker was chosen queen of the prom, and Keith Wegeman was chosen king by popular vote. The junior class chose for its play this year a roaring comedy. The name of it was “The Eager Beavers.” The characters were as follows: Mr. Potter, a famous play director, was beautifully done by Joe Cruse. Mr. Boggs, a leading citizen of Boggs’ Corner was done by Glenn Barber. Mrs. Boggs, a born organizer, was very well done by Lu Gray Hulburd. Shirley Arnold did a fine job on the part of the Boggs’ beautiful, but spoiled daughter, Rhoda Boggs. Kenneth Cross did the part of the Boggs’ spoiled son, who never ceased to trouble his sister. Betty Barnes did the part of Mrs. Warren, who almost drove her husband to bankruptcy. Edwina Warren, Mrs. Warren’s daughter and the pest of the neighbor- hood, was done by Roberta Lamb. Mrs. Freeze, the barber’s wife, who wanted a career on the stage for her husband, was played by Norma Richmond. Mr. Freeze, a barber and hen-pecked husband, was comically done by Harold Arnold. Jim Smith did a bang-up job as Rhoda’s fiance. Reba Helm did a fine job as the Boggs’ maid, Jenny. She was a rather slow person but not so dumb as they thought. Mrs. Goldsmith, the banker’s wife, was played by Marion Walsh. The play was under the able direction of Mr. Foster. Mrs. Albright was make-up artist and she also fixed all the girls’ hair. §OPh°MOR£s Ten Year Veterans •velvin Compes tine, Jack May Delmar Shorthose, Alderic • c ilgins Cene Ralston, Ann garter, %tma '.Vaggoner, Dohna light, Delores iuekens, Bette iii]lj and i-loyd Fatterson.

The sophomores enjoyed initiating us, and of course, we all looked very charming that day. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Campbell, we presented the freshman party, which was a great success. The theme of the party was “sports.” Students came dressed in clothes to represent a wide variety of sports. This year Mr. Bigelow and Mr. Watkins are our sponsors. Our class officers are Jack May, president; Emma Waggoner, vice president; Janie Zulian, secretary; Alderic Scoggins, treasurer; Francis Compestine, student council representative, and Shirley Todd and Lloyd Patterson, reporters. The class used a large set of elk horns to build a snow elk in front of the Safeway store lor the ski carnival this year. We won fourth prize. The theme of the sophomore party was a “barn dance.” Decorations were in keeping with the theme, and a good time was enjoyed by all. The students enjoyed several movies this year. They were sponsored by the student council and were to make use of the new projector. Since this is a new project, all the difficulties and defects have not yet been ironed out. But it is hoped that by next year a new screen will have been purchased and other improvements made.

Sponsored by the Future Homemakers Club, it proved to be a very clever and dressy party. The programs were frilly little red and white hearts with space inside for 12 dances. The gym was decorated in red and white in accordance with the theme. During the evening a number was drawn and the lucky couple was crowned King and Queen of Hearts. Following the coronation Evelyn Eubank and her escort led the grand march. Ritz crackers and cheese, punch, cookies, and candy were served during the evening, with each F. H. A. girl having a dance with the punch bowl. On Friday night, December 20, the new gym was buzzing—the Sailor- ettes were sponsoring the home-coming dance. It was really a pleasure to see so many alumni home again, and it was evidence that they enjoyed being home. There were dancing and games all evening. A nice program should be mentioned, too. Barbara Brunner sang two numbers, Verna Hidy gave a reading, and Joe Cruse and Shirley Arnold tap danced. When everyone began to feel famished soft drinks and cookies felt very palatable. The gym was decorated with a Christmas air. Several Christmas trees, wreaths, mistletoe, etc., made it all very attractive. The Sailorettes and their sponsor, Mrs. Steihm, worked very hard to make it one of the best homecoming dances ever. Section Picuf This year the senior class chose for their munificent production, a comedy in three acts entitled “Cross My Heart” by John McRae and George Savage. In the line up this year we find some veterans from last year’s junior play cast. Such talented citizens as Verna Hidy, Barbara Brunner, Harriet Kemry, Norma Chritton, Marian Barnes, Bob Lager, Vance Gates, Gerald Arnold, and Don Kinney. Then our new members, and by no means lacking- in talent, are Marge Anderson, Naomi Murphy, Joe Cruse, and Bruce Fox. The story consists of a short period in the lives of a boy and girl in which neither had any appreciation for the opposite sex. That boy and girl were very effectively played by Verna Hidy and Gerald Arnold in the roles of Bob and Eleanor Ross. The parents of the two problem children were Dave and Bess Adams, played by Harriet Kemry and Vance Gates, and Myrtle and Jerome Ross played by Marge Anderson and Don Kinney. The parts were rendered with dignity and efficiency typical of parents. Pauline Adams and her handsome fiance were enacted in true lover’s fashion by Marion Barnes and Bob Lager. Jim Ross, definitely a lady’s man, was beautifully done by our guest performer, Joe Cruse. Another guest star was Bruce Fox, who played the part of Carl Young, a young jitter-bug in the neighborhood. Lola Pomeroy, a nosey little neighbor who just can’t stay on her own side of the fence, was enacted realistically by Barbara Brunner. Henrietta Duval and Patsy Jones were some of Bob’s cute high school friends and were nicely played by Naomi Murphy and Norma Chritton. On the staff for such things as stage props, lighting, advertising, prompting, etc., we find Enid Reynolds, Kaye Cross, Joy King, Eloise Wheeler, Doris Birkett, Dick Waggoner, Jim Clay, Keith Wegeman, Barbara Clay, and Donna Williamson. And so with the aid of our talented and congenial director, Mr. C. E. McFarland, we had a wonderful time giving our interpretation of “Cross My Heart.” The juniors stole the show when they gave their party November 22 after the practice game with Central High School. Dancing and games entertained everyone all evening. Girls’ names were drawn from time to time, and a lovely box of candy was presented each lucky gal. Also she had the privilege of dancing with the fellow of her choice for one whole dance. At just the right time refreshments of soft drinks and cookies were served. And there was plenty for all. Everyone went home happy as a lark feeling he had had a wonderful time. On March 21, 1947, the sophomores presented their party to the school in the form of a barn dance. Upon entering the bam (new gym, to be exact) one saw a cleverly decorated hall. Bales of hay, wagon wheels, and other similar features were everywhere. Many costumes which were in keeping with the theme were also present. At frequent intervals during the evening the guests were entertained with floor shows. The “Shoosier Hot Shots” also made their debut during one of these floor shows. Refreshments of donuts and cokes were served in the latter part of the evening. Everyone enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent, and it was a party which won’t be forgotten for a long time. The freshmen had their party on the 11th of April. Everyone was supposed to come dressed in the clothes they would wear 25 years from now or in 1972. Any number of occupations were represented, such as nurses, housewives, and sailors. The gym was attractively decorated with crepe paper streamers and the password was 1-9-7-2. The refreshments were soft drinks and doughnuts. They had a contest as to who was the most lovable girl in school. As no one person could qualify for all the points no one was chosen. Some of the points for qualification were: Whether she could wiggle, whether she could breathe through a hole in the top of her head, whether she could use her nose as a radar set in case of fog, whether she liked to do backflips and whether she could box. October 19 opened the social world of the S. S. H. S. for another year when the freshmen presented their Initiation Party. The music was furnished by many good records, and all enjoyed the dancing and games which were furnished by the class. A cute program in the form of a radio skit supplied many laughs and thrills. Several from the audience participated in the “Truth and Con- sequences” game, and were doing eveiything from playing patty-cake” to barking like dogs. Later on in the evening refreshments of cookies, punch, and lollipops were served. (Yes, even high school students enjoy lollipops.) It was a nice party and everyone enjoyed a nice time. Since it was during the hunting season the attendance wasn’t as large as it could have been. 2WW S. S. H. S. has also had a very active band this year. Under the able direction of Mr. McFarland it has done some outstanding things and has shown marked improvement. Many days and hours were put in by its members in practicing for the ski band. The ski band, the only one like it, presented some attractive maneuvers for the ski carnivals. The band has been very grateful to the band mothers who worked so hard so that the band could have new uniforms. Many hours and headaches were spent in the alterations, financial ends, etc. They are very attractive uniforms, and are something to be veiy proud of. The band also made several appearances as a concert band. At the Craig Music Festival, the band made a nice showing both in concert band and in marching band. It chose as its contest pieces, “Knight’s Bridge March,” “The Desert Song,” and “Overture Argentina.” Every member had a good time at Grand Junction, but this did not interfere with their music. They were proud to come home and report an improvement of one division in everything—marching and concert band, and sight reading. This year, for the first time, band was offered as a full credit subject as well as an activity. There were a surprising number of students who enrolled in this course. There were other activities which the class enjoyed, such as listening to records. And one day the speech class cut records of the band’s play- ing. It was good experience for all, and it was fun to compare our band with Sousa’s band, and other famous bands. All in all, we feel we have had an excellent band this year, and more than one has benefited from it. Sail ietteA' The pep club was larger than ever this year; consequently it proved to be one of the most peppy pep clubs in the valley. Under the able direction of President Kaye Cross, and sponsorship of Mrs. Steihm the Sailorettes gave many fine drills at the basketball games, cheered the team in every way possible, and entertained the school and alumni at a lovely homecoming dance in November. New uniforms weren’t purchased this year, but it is hoped materials will be available for next year. It is sincerely hoped that the Sailorettes of 48 will exceed all the fulfillments of previous organizations, but it will be hard to do. utuxe The Future Homemakers club of the Steamboat Springs High School has been very active this year. We held our meetings every other Monday at 3:30 in the homemaking room. Part of the meetings was educational and part was entertaining. Each girl had charge of a meeting. Some of them wei'e dating etiquette, care of children, and Christmas suggestions. The girls and their guests had a hay ride one snowy night in January. In February they had charge of the affair everyone looks foreward to—the Mid Winter Formal. The theme was “Sweetheart Land” and the girls worked extremely hard to make this the success it was. Not to mention the money we made from it. The district meeting was held in Hayden in April and nine girls and Mrs. Steihm, our sponsor, attended the meeting. We were very proud when our local girl, Dolores Brenner, was elected as district chairman for 1947 and 1948. An evening of business and fun was enjoyed by all. April 18 and 19 was the time for the state meeting in Fort Collins. Marian Bames, Bette Barnes, Hariiet Kemry, and Mrs. Steihm attended from this chapter. We hope next year to have a more active part in this meeting. We learned interesting money making ideas, how to get awards through the club, and many other things too numerous to mention. With the new and old ideas the club has a bright future for the coming- year. We who are leaving this year hope the younger girls take advantage of the opportunities that are being offered to them. This year something new was introduced to the schools. At frequent intervals people from the National Assemblies Programs came to our school and presented very interesting as well as educational assemblies. The main features of these programs were Bo Bo the Magician, a report on India, a hypnotist, a cartoonist, a trained dog, and a marimba player. These were all very interesting programs, and we hope it is some- thing the future classes will be able to enjoy. m Student (facucil The student council of 1947 was one of the most active ones ever seen in Steamboat High. The officers were elected in the spring of 1946, and the other representatives were elected in the fall of 1947. Every Wednesday morning at 8:45 the members of the student council were on the job. Under the guidance of Mr. Sauer it achieved many out- standing gains. The council made the improvement of the school its under- taking, and with Donald Kinney as the able president, it added many betterment to S. S. H. S. It furnished many ideas for future councils, too. At tournament time the student council managed the food stand. This was the main undertaking of the year, but there were many others. A mirror was put in the girls’ room; movies were introduced; a Yampa Valley cheerleading team was chosen and presented awards; a lost and found department w'as organized; a student directory project was started; plans for a new trophy case were started; and dark curtains were put in the newr gym. These, and many more, were some of the things the student council of ’47 did for good ol’ S. S. H. S. tfcnld {flee @lu If you happened to wander by the band room on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday during the fourth period, you would hear the music of about sixty-five girls’ voices. You would settle back to relax and enjoy the music. Suddenly, someone would release a sour note, and Mr. Mc- Farland would raise his stick on the music stand and scream, “NO, no, no!’’ Such is the life of the glee club teacher. Seriously, though, every girl who enrolled in glee club this year learned at least one thing; some of them more, believe it or not. We learned how to tell in what key a song is written, how' to find “do,” and to read the notes of the treble cleff. Mr. McFarland played records and told the group the stories of several different operas during the year. One that the girls enjoyed a great deal was “Oklahoma.” As for public performances, the glee club did quite well. At Christmas they sang some Christmas carols w'ith the band. Solo voices in the Christmas program were Lu Gray Hulburd and Bette Hill. On April 18, the group sang “Spirit Flower” and “The Night Has a Thousand Eyes” in Craig for music contest. On the whole this has been a very successful year for the glee club —thanks mostly to our director, Mr. McFarland. On December 18, a very impressive program was presented under the direction of Mr. McFarland. It was a very impressive and lovely program, and was in keeping with the season. x y School (?am( teticeme tt Processional __________________________________Orchestra Invocation___________________________Rev.

J! 1. ? ‘ ; ' A‘? jjuit a Wandt About Spxviti (By the Sports Editor) Steamboat Springs High School has the privilege of a four-way com- petitive sports schedule. As soon as school begins in the fall, we begin our football season. This year we ended the season by winning a game with the Hayden Tigers, thus giving us an even 500 per cent. The weather made for a rough season. Three games were played in blizzards, two of them being night games. With the ending of football season, two other sports are begun, basketball and skiing. We are gifted with one of the most modem gym- nasiums in western Colorado. For that reason the Yampa Valley Basket- ball Tournament is often held here. This year we were consolation win- ners with two members of the squad—Don Kinney and Kenneth Kinsey— being chosen for the All-Tournament Team. Skiing is not a new sport, but it is only recently that it has been introduced as a school sport in S. S. H. S. The enthusiasm for this sport has grown by leaps and bounds. Members of the ski team have gone to many of the national meets, winning top honors wherever they go. At a meet in Sun Valley, Katy Rodolph won the honor of being the best girl skier west of the Mississippi, Keith Wegeman the best boy skier, and Marvin Crawford the second best. In the two years previous to this year Steamboat Springs has had the state championship ski team. The last sport of the year, which is track, always seems to come upon us with a rush. Due to the abundant snow, practice always is limited to about a two weeks’ period. Even with this handicap we literally ran our way to a tie for second place this year. In closing I would like to take the honor of wishing all the luck in the world to the future athletes of S. S. H. S. Athletic events give a lot to a school and you can bet your bottom dollar that a Sailor always gives his best to an event, no matter whether it is football, basketball, skiing or track. QLde tyoothall Qcunel '46 The Steamboat Sailors started their football season with a night game vs. Oak Creek Miners. The entire game was give and take; the score ended 0 to 0. The next game was with the Craig Bulldogs. This was another night game, played in a raging blizzard. This night the Sailors went down in bitter defeat; the score was 19 to 0. The following week-end the Meeker Cowboys arrived in Steamboat, evidently confident of sinking the Sailors. However, the Sailors hauled anchor and after an extremely roug'h game the score stood—Sailors 19, Cowboys 6. Then off to Glenwood went the Sailors where they suffered another crushing blow at the hands of the Demons: the score at the whistle was 19 to 0. The last game of the season was on a muddy home field where the Sailors met and defeated the Hayden Tigers—18 to 12. 7 6 Tfteet On May 2, we drove to Craig to participate in the Yampa Valley Track Meet. Steamboat Springs, Meeker, Craig, Oak Creek, and Yampa were entries. We were short on practice due to the weather conditions; conse- quently we knew that with all the competition it would be hard to win any honors. The weather was grand and the tension great with everyone out for top places. Dick Waggoner started the ball rolling with a first in the high hurdles, followed closely by Terry Scott with a second place in that event. Our milers—Pat Kennedy and Don Kinney—copped a second and a fourth. Don also pulled through for a fourth in the 880-yard run. Kenneth Kinsey, not to be outdone, placed second in the high jump, third in low' hurdles. In the 440 Gene Ryder set the pace, and I mean pace, with first place, and Everett Nefzger pulled through for fourth. About this time Gene Stone snagged a third in pole vault. Jim Clay and Keith Wegeman cinched the points in the 880-yard run, giving Steamboat all but third place in that event. I might mention here that Clay heaved the discus for a fourth place. That brings us down to the relays, the latter of which decided our place in the meet. The first relay team, consisting of Vance Gates, Terry Scott, Dick Waggoner, and Keith Wegeman, drew' an outer lane and could squeeze in only a fourth place. However, the mile medley, the last race of the meet, was started by Gates who gave the baton to Scott for the second 220 stretch. Harold Arnold then took it up for a 440 run, then placing the baton in Clay’s hands who broke the tape after a spirited run of 880 yards. All four boys gave this race their best; thus giving Steam- boat enough points to tie with Craig for second place in the meet. SCack S Parity November 15 marked one of the most interesting parties of the year. It was a party sponsored by the Block S Club to raise money for their organization. There w'as dancing and many interesting games. In one corner was a iarge pan which contained three live geese. For 25c one could throw rings iu these. Joe McGow'an won two of these, but donated them to the club to be auctioned off later m the evening. Everyone enjoyed lining up and throwing baskets. Prizes were given to each person making three baskets in a row. Seemingly, the girls won most of the prizes. Delicious pop corn and cold drinks refreshed everyone after an evening of fun and entertainment.
