The Mirror has long been an important part of Sunnyside High School traditions. You will always cherish the memories of your High School days as the happiest days of your lives. Your Annual Staff is to be complimented for having edited a book that will he a constant source of enjoyment. This book is the record of the different activities carried on by our school and as such will serve to bring back to you fond memories of life at S. H. S. ANGELO GIAUDRONE I should like to commend the Sunnyside High School students of 1946- 47. Your key-word has been t'Progress. It has been shown in your increasing acceptance of responsibility for your own actions, in your ability to join with the faculty and each other in working out logical and democratic solutions to general school problems. To you, graduates of 1947, good luck. To you, classes of 1948, 1949, and 1950, a happy future in Sunnyside High School. ROBERT H. QUIGGLE Days spent in school turn out to be the guides to our future. Some of us feel that we are unchanged, but we are continually acquiring attitudes which effect thc decisions we make. Yet, we noticeably acquire only what we desire and seek out. What we gain from our experiences in school is up to us. FREDERIC GILES 5 Mr. Wellenbrock Central Washington College of Education B. A.

Through their cooperation and supervision, many of the activities became a great deal of fun, not only for the students, but for the teachers as well. Teachers from widely scattered colleges and universities have brought a variety of exper- iences to our school. Miss Kane and Miss Hoffman were unable to remain with us the full year. Their respective classes were taught by Mrs. Donald Anderson until Miss Cook and Mrs. Perkins arrived to take their place. 8 ,LW ,K .A . , 4 gf , WFVTH nf b'Q.:'f:m:f35-37 vw mf -:v:f:3e'!fw'Uw:'1'r,1fx ' r'f,1:j.'L'ifK'fg ZWJVEPQ 5:1-H71-vii -'H ,N Q I X 1 AA,. , N ,,Y.

Yes, it has taken time, hasn't it? But it has proved to be a wonderful time to look back on-and remember. Through a freshman year of study and a sophomore year of fun, we emerged as upper classmen. Our first class play, A READY MADE FAMILY, will be remembered as the hilarious farce that it was. So, here we are, Seniors! And how well We play the role with Mrs. Bell as our adviser, D. Kendall, President, J. Mendenhall, Vice Presidentg J. Shep- herd, Secretary, B. Taylor, Treasurer, and J. Hill, Program Chairman. After our Grand Finale of the class play, HUNCERTAIN WINGSQ' Sadie Hawkin's Day, Baccalaureate, and Commencement, we exit from the scenes of high school work and fun. Displaying our greatest of acquired features-intelligence, lea- dership, talent, citizenship, we spell success at last and are ready to face the future. As we leave Sunny-Hi, the birthplace of many memories, we hope she will never forget that The Class of '47 was here! 9 ftl 'V ' Eldon Ammermani' -i Q 'Tm just a one-Woman manfl Hi-Y 4, Boys' Letter Club 2-3-4, Fire Squad 3-4, Baseball 1-2-3-4, Bas- ketball 1-2-3 Lola Ammerman Country atmosphere doesn't bother me.

JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Mr, Johnson, Audress Harrel, Nola Walker, Bill Funk, Darline Klippert Junior Class History - The class of '48 plunged into a new year with renewed enthusiasm. This year we have really gone places, with Bill Funk, president, Nola Walker, vice-presidentg Theresa Roy, secretary, Darlene Klippert, treasurer, and Mr, Johnson, class adviser. Opening the yearis social activities was an informal class party, held November 22nd. Be- ginning with alight supper, which was followed by a program, the party concluded with a dance. Distinguishing the Juniors were their sweaters, which were ordered after much debate, and class colors were re-chosen to be maroon on a white background. The class rings were also ordered. The class play, A Date With Judy, was presented March 26. It was a comedy success, ably directed by Miss Kildow. Admitted into Honor Society were six up-and-coming Juniors, while many more took an active part in sports and various activities. Topping oi? the year with a bit of social whipped cream, we held the Junior-Senior Prom in the form of a club dance, April 24. We again joined the seniors in the annual Junior-Senior Banquet in May, which concluded the year's social af- fairs. With this year at a close, we can indeed look forward to our Senior year as the best in our school life. .20 Johnson, Bragg, Highllll, B0 Boyd, Eby, Eckstein, Tllyliii' King, Goo, Englehurt, liuftn Taylor, Evans, Flagcl, Heat?

Both boys and girls were especially active in sports. Letters were re- ceived in football, basketball, tennis, track, and boxing. The three yell leaders hail from the forty-niners midst. This is something unusual for a sophomore class. Our annual party turned out to be something we'll all remember. Sur- rounded by beautiful decorations, everyone played games, danced, and ate to their hearts' content. 24' Richards, Meteer, Hunt, Sudano, Knight.

One hundred and ninety freshmen began the school year. Everyone was surprised at the way the freshmen took their place in sports this year. In addition to an undefeated season in football, the freshmen were active in basketball, baseball, tennis, volley ball, track, and boxing. Highlights of the year were the class party, a great success, and the freshman initiation-taken in stride. The youngest Grizzlies progressed under the guidance of Miss White, adviser, Milton Schwenk, Presidentg Dwight Bond, Vice Presidentg Donna Carnes, Secretary, Virginia Kostenbader, Treasurerg and Paul Cosper, Program Chairman. , I 28 l 4 Omta, Wines, Richards, lVlitzel, Bryant, Christe, Wattenbarger, Grajeda Jordon, Kostenbader, Heilron, Shafer, Rawlings, Cole.

Glee Club is open to all girls, and Boys' Chorus is open to all boys. They are both conducted as classes in which one credit is given each year. Nonette and the Swing Trio are selective groups chosen by the chorus director. The Girls' Glee Club was under the direction of Mrs. Chapin, who had them study a var- iety of music ranging from classical to popular and semi-popular songs. Organized as a club for girls only, seventy-nine in all, the Glee Club elected the following officers: president, Geraldine Lee, secretary, Charlotte Lane, accompanist and librarian, Othelle Wiseman. The club entertained at school assemblies and community concerts. Appearances for the year included fall and spring concerts, the Christmas Program, Commencement Exercises, and Baccalaureate Services. They also traveled to Ellensburg to attend the Music Festival and Concert. The Boys' Chorus was organized again for the first time in eight years. Members were: Bill Bessey, Gale Freeman, Clark Mace, Harry Visser, Wilber Duim, Ted Mystrom, Vern Hewitt, and Glenn Hewitt. They sang for the fall and spring concerts and in the Christmas program. The Nonette is a selected group of girls chosen for their musical ability. Members were: Geraldine Lee, Beverly Kingman and Pat Bragg as sopranosg Corrine Carlson, Joanne Meyers, and Trieva Kinsey as second sopranosg and Mora Eckstein, Frances Price and Charlotte Lane as altos. They san for concerts, several cammunity bonqucts ,and club meetings, Commencement Ex- ercises and the Ellensburg Contest. The newly organized Swing Trio was a very successful group. Mora Eckstein, Charlotte Lane and Geraldine Lee, who make up the trio, have helped entertain at games, student assem- blies and dances. As is indicated by their name, they sang only swing or popular songs. 33 Qrchesird This organization numbers thirty-five select musicians who enjoyed playing good music together. During the school year, the orchestra played for the junior and senior class plays. They contributed entertainment for the State Teachers Meeting held this year. They also played for the annual Fall and Spring Concerts, the Community Thanksgiving Service, and the Christmas pro- gram. They ,participated in the annual Music Festival at Ellensburg, and ended a most success- ful school year by playing for the Baccalaureate Services and Commencement Exercises. This organization is under the able supervision of Mr. Murfin. Carlton Herrett, Othelle Wiseman and Mary Florence Bond were chosen to attend the Education Musical Conference in Seattle. Carlton and Othelle play violin and Mary Florence plays viola. A new string ensemble has been very popular and in much demand this year by both city and school organizations. This group was the only one of its kind participating in the Ellensburg Music Festival in April. This group is composed of three violins. Although small in size the orchestra harmonized well on its pieces. 34 Bond The Sunnyside High School Band is composed of fifty musicians of ability. During the course of the school year, this organization played selections of symphonic and standard calibre. The 'band furnished music for all football and basketball games, marched in parades, and gave three public concerts, one of which was given specifically for the Band Uniform Fund. They also participated in the Music Festival held in Ellensburg on April 19th. The band teacher, Mr. Murfin, a favorite among all, hails from Illinois. He has done much to improve the band this year. He has arranged three ensemble groups which have proven mosl successful, They are: Mixed Clarinet Quartet, which consists of two clarints, a bass and alto clar- inet, Woodwind Quintet, which is composed of clarinets only, and Brass Sextette, which is com- posed of French horn, tuba, two trumpets, trombone and baritone. These groups have been active during the school year playing for clubs,'civic groups, banquets and the Ellensburg Festival. Our solo personnel has shown great improvement during the school year. They have fur- nished much entertainment for school activities and civic groups. These students made an ex- cellent showing at Ellensburg during the Music Festival. The Music Education Conference is an annualmeeting of students from five different states. Students whose petitions are accepted, report to Seattle where they receive an intensive four-day training in their individual fields. Well known musicians and conductors are the instructors for this training period. John Gulickson, who plays French horn in the band and orchestra, was se- lected to represent Sunnyside High School this year. The band was proud to present the four majorettes, Joyce, Lavon, Doris and Betty, at all home games and at one concert. Their performances for student assemblies were well received. Well known music critics say the band has one of the best instrumentations in the North- west. Sunnyside High School has long been noted for its music department, and we hope to keep this reputation. 35 String Ensemble Herrett, Wiseman, Pryde, Reed, Bond, Thrush Mixed Clarinet Quartet Hardy, Fry, Buoy, Burlison Swing Trio.

Whiteside, Bos, Gulickson, Munson, Martin, Bond Senior Play The annual Senior play was presented this year under the able direction of Miss Kildow on November 26th. Featuring strictly high school students, except for Pop, who runs the soda fountain, the play was centered around competition between two girls for Basketball Queen, and the winning of a play writing contest. Romantic interests are found in a frosh girl going on her Hrst date, and in the iight between two senior girls for an ex-Marine attending high school. They both claim they are madly in love with him. Reaching the climax of such a set-up encounters' many comical situations. Students portraying their parts are as follows: Pop Reily, proprietor of the Malt Shoppe, Marvin Partchg Alice, one of the Hyoung fry, Mora Ecksteing Ethel, a high school freshman. Gerry Lee: Tubby, a moving force in high school activities, Vera Olson: Dolly, a high school girl employed as a waitress in the Malt Shoppe, Jean Hill: Jack, Captain of the basketball team, Steve Smith: Margaret, the literary light of the high school, Mae Asselstine: Bob, a high school char- acter, Claude Denson: Lola, the high school glamor girl, Oneta Burlisong Jerry, one of the boys, Jerry Besseyg Tyler, the stranger, Bob Wetmore. Extra students appeared in all three acts for color and atmosphere, and they are as follows: John Gulickson, Mert Asselstine, Barb Taylor, Barb And- rus, Mary Lou James, Trevia Kinsey and Bob Fitts. Thanks go to Mr. Wyatt for such an excellent job of arranging the stage. Those serving as chairmen on committees were: stage crew, Bob Wetmore and Bob Fish: properties, Bob Fitts and Hazel Owens: tickets, Curtis Holstrom, advertising, Bob Morrow: programs, Trieva Kinsey, make' up, Phyllis Plumb. The play was enthusiastically received by all. 37 Fl Date With Judy Judy became involved in many schemes vvhich created trouble for her and her family, much to the amusement of the audience. A Date With Judyfi written by Aleen Leslie, was a three-act comedy. The story centered around the efforts of Judy to Win a contest to be Queen of a club dance. The various schemes she thought of, such as entering other contests to win prize money, trying to earn money by writing a True Confessions story and other ways are very serious to Judy, but to the audience they were comical. The play ended happily with Judy being chosen queen and having a date with her fav- orite boy-friend, Oggie Pringle. Six Weeks of rehearsal preceded the presentation of the play the twenty-sixth of March in the High School gym. The proceeds from the play were placed in the junior class treasury after all expenses had been deducted. The cast for the play was Darlene Klippert, Judy Foster, Kit Brennan, Mrs. Foster, Frank Massey, Mr. Fosterg Bill Funk, Randolph Foster, Betty Fagg, Hannah, Marilyn Trudgeon, Barbara Winsocketg Walter Jensen, Oggie Pringle, Nadine Gale, Mitzie Hoffmang J. C. Massey, Mr. Martin- dale, Beverly Fike, Mrs. Hotchkiss, Cora Klippert, Eloise Hotchkiss, Delores Fernandez, Mrs. Shultzhammerg Charles Harris, Rexford O'Connorg Florence Green, Susie O'C0nnor. Always important to the success of a play are the hard working, little publicized com- mittees, which for the junior play were stage crew, make-up committees, advertising committee costumes, properties, ticket and program committee. 38 Ocfivifiesf ya 1 .1 ' 'T ,3:L.

John Gulickson was appointed editor and Barbara Barnes and Charlotte Lane served as associate editors. Mary Lou James was business manager with Nadine Gale as her assistant. Mrs. Ludwig was the faculty adviser. Most of their work has to be done during study hall and outside school hours as very few regular meetings were held. 39 THE GRTZZLY GAZETTE STAFF Editor-Miriam Asselstineg Associate Editor-Roger Loschen Business Manager-Joanne Meyers 1-Ludwig, Green, Loschen, Shannon, Cole, Asselstine 2-Hussencan, Klippert, Klippert, Henley, Meyers For the first time in the history of Sunny Hi, the school newspaper, Grizzly Gazettef, reached the goal that was dreamed of by previous staffs, that of being printed instead of minneographed. Maybe getting started was a little rugged, but Hgood wins over evil and the printed paper was on top. Even though the staE was small and quite inexperienced, at least for a few weeks, the few came through with the necessary work to make the paper one that well represented the school in its noticeable progress and certainly one to be proud of. 40 Executive Council This year's executive council, under the guidance of Mr. Quiggle, has developed our school government until it is recognized as one of the best in the Valley. The council meets weekly to discuss the school's financial problems and to pass on student council legislation. Executive Council is composed of the president of the student body, Steve Smith, vice- president, Bill Munson, secretary, Lola Ammermang treasurer, Vera Olsong and custodian of the athletic equipment, Wyvil Kendall. Also in attendance are the presidents of all the classes: Dar- roll Kendall, senior, Bill Funk, junicr, Carlton Herrett, sophomore, and Milton Schwenk, fresh- man. The membership is completed with the advertising manager, Dona Searsg newspaper editor, Miriam Asselstineg business manager of the Annual, Mary Lou Jamesg yell queen, Margaret Mc- Donald, business manager of the student body, Bob Fittsg and the editor of the Annual, John Gulickson. N Student Council This organization was led through the '46-'47 session by Marvin Partch, who was elected by the students. The faculty adviser was Mr. Quiggle. They met once a week to discuss various problems of the school. This council was composed of the vice-president of each home room. These members brought to Student Council suggestions from their home rooms which would benefit the school. After they had acted on a major bill, this bill was passed on to Executive Council for final approval. ' One of their accomplishments this year was to replace the old cafeteria benches with new collapsible ones, which was definitely a needed improvement. 41 Honor Society Thirteen members from the senior class and six from the junior class constituted this year's Honor Society with Miss Knerr as adviser. Those elected as officers were: president, Phyllis Plumbg vice president, Vera Olson, secretary, Lola Ammermang and treasurer, Lina Kilian. Membership in the society is determined by scholarship, leadership, service and character. The themes of Thanksgiving and Easter were carried out at the two initiating banquets. Guest speakers were Mrs. Bell and Mr. Turner, County Superintendent of Schools. Thespians The Thespians, under direction of Miss Kildow, had a good time working together this year. Each meeting was planned by the members to improve their acting ability by impromptu enterainment. Thespians members are: Mora Eckstein, Jean Hill, Vera Olson, Bob Wetmore, Steve Smith, Miriam Asselstine, Aloha Hoffman, Mary Lou James, Hazel Belcher, Marvin Partch, Geraldine Lee, Oneta Burlison, Claude Denson, and Othelle Wiseman. Near the end of the year, eight juniors, one sophomore and two seniors were tapped. Miriam Asselstine, Claude Denson, Darlene Klippert, Geraldine Lee and Vera Olson be- came star members. 42 Q. Hihleiic Plssociation To promote sportsmanship among the girls is the purpose of the Girls' Athletic Association. Through participation in tournament and outside sports, points are earned towards a letter HS . Both intramural and interrnural playdays are held throughout the year, and in addition, the girls sell programs at basketball games and help with concessions. Officers include: Lola Ammerman, president, Betty Nelson, vice presidentg Carolina Worms, secretary, Loretta Worms, treasurer, Beverly Fike, social chairmang and five appointed sports chairmen. Boys' Club Our Boys' Club is organized to bring every fellow in school in contact with various pro- blems concerning boys only. This year's officers were: Marvin Partch, president, Jim Stahlhut, vice president, and Jim Mendenhall, secretary: with Mr. Anderson as adviser. Special features, such as wrestling exhibitions and guest speakers were presented at the club meetings. 43 Fire Squad Members Hi-Y Members F. F. A. Members Fire Squad, under the guidance of Mr. Grafious, chief Don Langenegger, and assistant chief Darroll Kendall, has been active replacing drill regulation signs, putting up new extinguishers, and purchasing first aid kits. The organization started a system through which fire badges for future members will be paid. The squad sponsored a chili feed and the annual Fireman's Ball. The purpose of Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and commun- ity, high standards of Christian living. The boys have been active this year selling food at home games. Sunnyside Hi-Y boys were invited to recreation night with Prosser where they played com- oetitive basketball and volleyball. Officers included: John Gulickson, president, Frank Massey, vice presidentg Eldon Ammer- vnan, secretary: Bill Munson, treasurer, Chuck Englehart, chaplain, Wyvil Kendall, program man- ager. The purpose of F. F. A. is to promote thrift, scholarship, to encourage farm projects, and to teach participation in judging contests and stock shows.

The duties of this organ- ization include ushering at sports events, complying with requests for service, selling programs, and helping with concessions at games. An All-Hi dance, a wa'Ee supper, a chili feed, a skating party, and two initiations with pot luck suppers were the social activities for the year. Officers were: president, Dordeen Hansen: vice president, Helen Hollinbergerg secretary, Theresa Royg treasurer, Ncla Walkerg social chairman, Carolina Wormsg and adviser, Miss Cook. Boys' Letter Club With Coach Clem Senn as adviser. Lettermans Club started out the year by electing an exceptional group of officers. Don Langenegger led the club, with Don Bond, vice president, and George Pitzer as secretary-treasurer. All the club's activities this year were planned to further their motto to promote good sportsmanship by such things as patrolling at football games. However, the main project of thc year was the rewriting of the Lettermen's Club constitu- tion, the original of which was lost. The new constitution brought into effect many new rules. Several of these were made necessary by the growth of S. H. S. and the addition of new sports. 45 Debate, as an activity, was carried on in a greatly expanded scale this year. The debaters traveled throughout the Yakima Valley participating in both decision and non-decision debates. In the decision contests, Sunnyside made an excellent record by winning 12 out of 16 debates. The big event of the year was the tournament at the College of Puget Sound in Tacoma. The first team of Harrel and Fitts won 7 out of 8 debates and took fourth place among the 40 schools entered. The second team of Martin and Jensen won 4 out of 6, bringing Sunnyside's final score to ll wins and 3 losses. More than four thousand books are available to students of Sunny Hi. Judging by the cur- rent circulation average of sixty-five books a day, the library is appreciated. The library staii of twenty and the librarian, Miss Rice, are kept busy checking books, magazines and newspapers in and out, keeping them in repair, and finding information for students. , , ,,,, ,fn Debate Staff Library Staff Ushering Staff w i 1 1 Thanks to the Ushering Staff, under Miss Ruppert's supervision, all our plays, concerts, boxing matches, and other school presentations had orderly seating arrangements. Gerry Lee was head usherette. The entire group is composed of juniors and seniors. This organization is one that is known by only a few people outside of school, but one that is necessary in any high school. 46 Girls' Club The Girls' Club began its year by electing the following officers: president, More Ecksteing vice president, Betty Reynoldsg secretary, Jean Hillg treasurer, Jo Yeager. ' Under the able direction of the adviser, Mrs. Mannick, the Girls Club, which includes all the girls of Sunnyside High School, has carried on an active program throughout the year. One aim of this organization, personal improvement, was emphasized by having various guest speakers on personality improvement during the year. The Girls' Club sponsored the tradi- tional Big and Little Sister Party, the Sadie Hawkins Day and dance and the All High Review. Dramatic Club Faced with the prospect of being an all girl group, the dramatics class undertook to make the year profitable without the assistance of any boys. After studying the history and types of drama and techniques of acting for a month, the first play, t'On to Washington, was presented to an all school audience in November. This was a comedy satirizing ladies clubs. The next play was given in January. Ladies of the Mop was a story of the whimsical dreams of four scrub ladies. Oral reports were given on representative plays of each period and for a while most of the class room time was spent in studying dramatic criticism. Coming through, as all good performers do, the dramatics class took part in the Girls' Club variety show. The stage interpretation of a typical hillbilly evening won Hrst prize against stiif competition. The prize money went towards drama pins for the group. The final' test of learning of the year was a diilicult psychological play entitled 'Under- tow, which showed the eifect of hidden resentment in the charatcer. This was given in May to an all school audience. The eleven members of the class included Laura Cole, Juanita Forney, Nadine Gale, Flor- ence Green, LaVerne Henley, Darlene Klippert, Lois Nordin, Catherine Otis, Elizabeth Scott, Jerry Thrush, and Irene Van Cleef. The Dramatics class owes much to the excellent advice and teaching of Mrs. Bell. Without her the class could not have had the successful year it had. 47 Looking for sornething?? 2. Solid comfort 3.

This year, the yell leaders were all sophomores, Margaret MacDonald was yell queen, and her two assistants were Barb Kingman and Joyce Terry. Besides the weekly pep assemblies, which were held in the gym, we had a iew pep rallies when we marched through town and then to the game. Many times, these girls put up just about as much fight as the team. Laurels to our yell leaders for their super leadership, enthusiasm and spirit. 49 Starting out the season with what looked to be a fairly good team, Sunny Hi's gridders were plagued with injuries, especially in the line, and came out in the lower division of the Val- ley League, winning three out of eight games. At the beginning of the season, it looked as though Coach Senn was all set with a powerful forward wall composed of Langenegger, Bond, and Funk at guardg Schilperoort and Big Kendall at tackles, and Little Kendall, Barker and Terrel at end. Backfield men returning from last year's Hrst team were Partch and Bos, at the quarterback and halfback posts, respectively, Night football was played for the first time at Sunnyside this season. The Grizzlies faced Toppenish on their second game, losing 19-0. At the annual Football Banquet held in the cafeteria, Marv Parteh was named for the lnspirtaional Award, and Coach Senn also named letter winners. ew-get 'Egg-11-or 1. Senn.

N 51 The '47 basketball season found a lot of young Grizzlies on the hardwood courts for Sunny Hi, with lots of ambition but little experience, consequently, the play of the SHS five was ragged in spots and unpredictable. Still, with the point-gathering of Don Minnich and Ed Barker, Soph- olfores, and the great defensive play of Marv Partch and Nate Mendenhall, Seniors, the Sunny- side aggregation won enough games to make the trip to the Valley Tournament. At the Wapato tourney, the Grizzlies faced Toppenish, Northern Champs, and Yakima, and lost two in a row. Coach Blume is to be congratulated for his excellent job of building a good court machine from such green material. Letter winners numbered nine: Seniors, Jim Mendenhall, Jim Stahlhut, Marvin Partch and Steve Smith, Juniors, Harry Pryde, J. C. Massey and Frank Massey, Sopho- mores, Don Minnich and Ed Barker. Steve Smith, though not a regular on the team because of an injured back, was voted by the team to receive the Inspirational Trophy. Jim Stahlhut was the Captain of the team for the season. . . 9 C 'S -W. .5 A 1. Coach Blume, Pryde, Smith, Stahlhut 2. Massey, Mendenhall, Barker, Partch 3. Murphy, Massey, Minnich, Miller - 52 1.

Although returned lettermen were scarce, the team having lost a number of Seniors who were consistent point-getters, Sunny Hi proved to have a fairly good year. 53 7 Y I Boxing has come to be one of the most popular sports around school, and this year proved exceptionally successful. More emphasis was placed on arranging evenly matched bouts this year, rather on team victories. Thus many better fights were staged and more fellows took part. The season opened with an all Sunny-Hi boxing show on Jan. 30. The proceeds from this show went into the fund for band uniforms. Six of the boys went into the finals of the Valley Tournament. They were Lloyd Gibson, Richard Miller, Max Bauzngartner, Glenn Barr and Darrol Kendall, who won championships. Sunnyside captured the Valley Boxing Crown, and the big trophy has been put in the show case. Although the turnout was small, wrestling as a sport began for the first time this year at. Sunny Hi. There were no intermural meets this year because other schools in the valley did not offer this sport. However, the wrestlers put on a good exhibition at a Boys' Club program. 1 1 54 ter' 'WN .YA 1.

With experienced men, especially in the outfield, the Grizzlies came through with an average of 50 percent Wins, This was Sunnyside's first year of playing under the lights, and it is hoped that gate re- ceipts Will be even higher next season. . Three men who did most of the mound chores for the Grizzlies this year were Tom Dillon, Jim Mendenhall and Bob Maling.

After several matches, however, they began to take skape and the results provd satisfactory. Mr. Grafious, tennis coach, scheduled matches with Rich- land, Wapato, Kennewick and Pasco, a home and return game with each. Carlton Herrett played first singles, Earl Davis was No. 2 player, and Roger Loschen, Glade Miller, Wayne Wyatt and Reed Heath were teamed together for first and second doubles. g 3 Itis not only the boys who are interested in tennis, for' you will find many girls slipping on their tennis shoes and enjoying a good hard game of this hot weather sport. With only a small number of experienced players turning out, each member got a good workout through the season. Mae Asselstine, Vera Olson and Theresa Roy were returning letter- men and Willadene Johnson was added as the fourth member. Matches were played with Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, and Wapato. 57 HOCKEY- 1. 2. BASKETBALL I . 2. BASEBALL- 1. 2.
