Tahoma High School - Ki Ah Yu Yearbook (Maple Valley, WA)

Text from Pages 1 - 56 of the 1948 volume:

Ue Stud nti ajj a a Ma . . . Pn bent the 19 8 edticatian . . . We. the students of TaHoMa High School, dedicate our first Ki-Ah-Yu to Mr. Donald S. Smith, our Journalism teacher, who has so willingly made it possible for TaHoMa to have its first annual. I would rather still contend than rest a champion With all to gain and nothing to lose. Yes, it’s easier. I think, to be an underdog, The last one the crowd would choose. I like to be where you haven’t a chance Where the other side likes .0 boast. Where they think it isn’t an even match And the game won’t even be close. It’s a greater feeling just starting out Than to be favored at the track; Running as an unknown dark horse Who masters pride with tact. I would rather be small than big and tall If all I had was size; For the spirit is greater than all the gold To the men who are great and wise. And I say again and I swear ’tis true To the man who ever vies, The will of the soul is the real goal Where the true victory lies. —Donald F. Smith. KI-AH-YU 3 AdinituAitotion . . . “The importance of a good educational program cannot be overemphasized. A well balanced program provides opportunities for intellectual and social developments. The curriculum of TaHoMa High School certainly has provided xhis intellectual challenge. As for our extra curriculum activities, every student has a chance to excel in at least one activity.” In these words Mr. Heidenreich, in his message to the annual, shows the fine character and thought that have made him a big favorite with the high school students, teachers and members of the community. Mr. Heidenreich graduated from Whitman college with a Bachelor of Arts Degree and look additional schooling at the University of Washington. He had his first contact with TaHoMa in 1940 when he came here as coach and leacher. He stayed at TaHoMa until 1942 at which lime he transferred to Renton High School. Returning to TaHoMa in 1944 he took over the position of principal and one year later he became superintendent. Among the important things he has done was to supply a well balanced educational program and promote greater understanding between the teachers and students. He also has been very active in student activities. Mr. Gray, principal since 1945. has been one of the most energetic and conscientious men at the school. A graduate of the University of Montana, he also has taken additional courses at the University of Washington. After graduating from the University of Montana he taught at schools in Montana. He came to TaHoMa in 1944 and after one year of teaching took over the duties of principal. Besides his office duties and teaching. he has complete charge of dramatics and has been advisor to quite a few student activity clubs. Some of the clubs are: Torch. Boys Club and Board of Control. His attitude toward the school and students can best be explained by his message to the annual: “One of the essential factors necessary to building for the future is cooperation. The students of TaHoMa High School have worked faithfully toward that goal in every undertaking. We realize that through working amiably together with our student body, faculty and community that we may accomplish beneficial results. It seems to me that this factor is exemplified in thi our first school annual. Congratulations for the fine work represented herein and the splendid example set for others to follow. 4 TaHoMa, ’48 THE END OF THE TRAIL . . . Gad, at last this job of pasting;, typing;, figuring . . . Well anyhow it’s finally finished. It’s been a long hard pull, but here we are at the end of the trail. Our thanks and best wishes to Mr. Smith, a swell guy. nnd another thanks to all of the kids who were co-operative in helping us put out this, the first TaHoMa Annual. KI-AH-YU Paul W.

On Sept. 5. 1944, there were 56 bright and nhining faces waiting for their respective buses. That day the Senior class of ’45 was seated on the buses so that no matter how hard we tried we could not nit alone. We either had to sit with a Senior or on the Hoor. After everything was going nicely, the Seniors decided to initiate the Freshmen. They told us this would be on Sept. P.7. On that fateful day everyone came to school prepared to see the fun. As the Freshmen came filing in, all the Seniors were ready for us. It was a day to remember. One day soon after initiation we elected our officers for the first semester. They were: President, Dorothy Bartholomew; Vice President, Jack LeGrande; Secretary. Irene Sweeney; Treasurer, Nettie Comer: Board of Control Representative. Fred Habenicht and Sergeant at Arms. Less Collecchi. The second semester we elected new officers. These were: President, Fred Habenicht; Vice President, Jack LeGrande; Secretary, Eilene Cox; Treasurer, Chuck Taylor; Board of Control Representative, Nettie Comer and Sergeant at Arms, Bud Dubigk. Our class advisor was Mr. Hewitt. And then came the year of '45. When roll was taken this year we found out the boys still out-numbe-ed the girls. There were 23 boys and 18 girls who started. The boys had it pretty easy in school this year but the girls fought a good battle in basketball and came out on top. This year our class officers were: President. Don Neal; Vice President, Jack LeGrande; Secretary Nettie Comer; Treasurer, Victor Biasotti; Board ot Control Representative. Fred Habenicht and Sergeant at Arms, Virgil Markus. Our class advisor was MissKrschma. Well, we’re still climbing. Juniors now. This year we elected our class officers quietly and very dignified like. We only had to send two people to the hospital. After our quiet meeting, we found out who our officers were. They were as follows: President, Jack LeGrande; Vice President. Sue Horne; Secretary-Treasurer, Nettie Comer; Board of Control Representative, Don Neal and Sergeant at Arms, Bill Bowman. Our class advisor was Mr. Riffe. One of the most important events during our Junior year was our Junior Prom. The theme was Dreamland.” It fit in very nicely with the nuits, formals and corsages. At the end of the year the school put on an operetta. Two Juniors took leads in it. They were Fred Habenicht and Charles Barbero. The two Juniors who led the Seniors in their graduation march were Eilene Cox and Jack LeGrande. Seniors at last. We had big things planned : or this year. First we elected our officers. They were: President, Fred Habenicht; Vice President. Jack LeGrande; Secretary-Treasurer, Gwen Williams; Board of Control Representative, Guy Belleman. Our class advisor was Mr. Moore. One of the most important events of this year was the Senior Ball. Our theme was Santa’s Land.” We also put on a Senior play. “Ghostly Fingers.” Now all we hear is graduation. We will wear suits. The date is May 27. All we Seniors will be very happy when that day comes. 10 TaHoMa, ’48 Senior GIguU Ptopitecif, Dear Teddie: Well, here it is 1958 and we’re finally getting around to taking that trip we have been talking about all these years. We left Tahoma about 7 a. m. On the road we passed Dorothy Bartholomew. She is living on the outskirts of Taylor and raising mountain goats. We had the radio on in the car and who should we hear but Richard Grady. He does a very good job pinch hitting for Walter Winchell. It was getting pretty late but still we weren’t tired, so we stopped at the Brown Derby, and who should be directing the orchestra but Shirley Kovash. We were quite lucky as we had good service. The head waiter himself waited on us. You’ll never guess who it was—Bud Dubigk, of course. As Bud left we were greeted by Patti McGraw who was the new cigarette girl. We left early as we were planning to attend the local church the next morning. Also attending church was State Representative Perry Tompkins. He introduced us to Reverend Jim Keyes who seemed to be a very sociable person. We continued our travels soon after church let out. As We were sight-seeing, not traveling very fast, we were soon overtaken by a man racing down the road. A close look proved the man to be Ralph Matthews practicing to be a marathon runner. As we were busy watching Ralph, we struck a parked car and as a result we had to stop at Virgil Markus’ Body and Fender shop. Once we had the car in tip-top shape we con tinued on our trip. We came to a stop upon seeing a young woman soundly scolding a dog which had taken her new hat and ripped it to pieces. A closer look revealed that the lady was none other than Virginia Merett who was now teaching the English language to animals. Virginia told us that she had just bought her hat from the famous fashion designer, Sue Horne, and since Sue was in town, we went up to see her. Sue told us she had designed hats for all the society people including the queen of society, Bertha Fault. Sue said that Bertha had just given a big wedding party for her close friends, Nettie Comer and Guy Belleman who were now staying in Florida where Guy runs a gas station. We left Sue among her hats and journeyed on down the road. Soon we saw a cloud of dust coming over the horizon and traveling at terrific speed toward us. A squeal of brakes and a peeling of tires and a souped-up Hot Rod ground to a stop. We were pleasantly surprised to find that it was David Maxwell, practicing for the Hot Rod races which were to be held next month. Dave told us that he was getting plenty of publicity in the New York Herald as our good friend, Fred Habenicht was now editing this famous paper. Quite a jump from editing the school paper, Huh? Our next stop was a side road carnival featuring Jack LeGrande as the strong man, and Robert Zielinski’s Hot Licks band. Head barker at the carnival was LaVerne Gay, who had really developed his lungs since high school days. As it was now dark we went to the nearest hotel we could find and guess who the switchboard operator was? Margie Bowman, of course. The night clerk rang for the bell boy to take our bags and we were in for another surprise as the bell boy turned out to be Herbert Reed. The next day we continued on our journey. Our next stop was a boxing arena which featured Victor Biasotti as the “Champ who took on all comers. His manager proved to be Mildred Popenoe and between the two of them they made a combination hard to beat. At ringside we met Less Collecchi who told us that he was now in the florist business and doing very well. On our way again we passed a very beautiful farmhouse along the side of the road. The name on the mailbox was Bill Bowman but being of a stubborn nature we had to inquire within to see if it was really Bill or not, and sure enough, it was Booming Bill in the flesh. He told us that Mildred Saftich and Irene Porter were now running a laundry in the next town and they seemed to be doing very well. After leaving Bill to his work we journeyed into town as we wished to see Don Neal who was now a big lumber man and a prominent figurehead in politics. Don told us that Chester Spurgeon was running one of his lumber barges for him and was also one of the head men in the plant. We were very glad to hear that Chester was also doing very well for himself. We continued on our trip through town on a road which just happened to pass along side of a railroad track and there were the two faithful employees who had given much of their life to keeping the trains on the tracks, Ken Collins and Chuck Barbero. Our travels took us farther into the big city where all kinds of signs and billboards met our eye. One in particular tickled our fancy and we just had to go inside. The sign read If you want to learn to Cheer, step in here,” so we went inside and lo and behold, who should it be but Gwen Williams, Jerry Cox and Sonja Peterson giving lessons to all ages of school children in the womanly art of cheer leading. Not to be rude we took one lesson and then left as we had one more stop on our list. This visit took us high into the mountains where skiiers were going full blast and into the skiiers lodge where the ski instructor was staying. Here we found Dick Kleparek seated at the desk on which a sign stood which read “Ski Instructor.” We had a friendly talk with Dick and then we had to be hitting the road for our vacation time was about Up. As we reached home we thought over all the pleasant memories of the trip which we had just completed and all in all we would not have traded it for anything else in the whole world. Well. I guess that’s about all in this letter. So long and good luck! Yours truly. THE CLASS OF ’48 KI-AH-YU 11 £e uosi GIgAA, Will . . . We, the students of the Senior Class of 1948, TaHoMa High School, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament upon passing through the doors of TaHoMa High School. It seems as though Sue Horne thinks the incoming freshmen would like the dingy halls, and Perry Tompkins is leaving dear old TaHoMa a fumigator. The reason of course is the smell that comes into the halls trom the chemistry room. There seems to be some feuding and fighting between the chemistry boys and the Ag boys. Maybe that explains why Dick Kleparek (a good Ag boy) is leaving his chickens to a poor starving chemistry boy and La Verne Gay is leaving the next Ag class the pants from some chemistry boy. Fred Habenicht thinks that he would like to will this school his little water hose in the chemistry room. Maybe that’s why Jack LeGrande is leaving his rain clothes to anyone who might need them. It looks like Chester Spurgeon has quite a distaste for the Ag boys. He says he’ll leave that to his brother Jack, and hopes that he’ll carry on the good work. Helen Horne seems to be a pretty lucky girl what with Nettie Comer leaving her all her boy friends except her latest one. Eilene Cox hates to depart with her pierced ears but she says she will give them to Frances W. I guess Mildred Popenoe doesn’t think that Chuck A. has enough freckles so she is giving him hers. With such beautiful red hair. I don’t see how Mildred Saftich can give her red hair to Rosalee V. Some people have all the luck. What I mean is that Irene Porter is willing her legs to Delores. Evidently Dorothy Bartholomew’ doesn't like her bangs so she wills them to Betty Hedin. Right in that line, Sonja Peterson is willing her flashy hair ribbons to Colleen P. The girls are going to be mighty lucky. Why? Because Patti McGraw is leaving her address book and it contains bodys’ addresses only. Less Collecchi must have trouble with the stencil machine. He says he’ll leave all his headaches and cussing from it to any poor sap who wants it. Don Neal wills all his arguing just for the sake of arguing to anyone w'ho wants it. Alene Sandhei seems to get quite a few headaches from the Letterette Club meetings. She wills all her headaches to anyone who wants them. David Maxw’ell seems to think that girls give him a pretty rough time. He says he’ll gladly leave that to Bob Hale. Bertha Faull must have quite a few compacts and lipsticks to be able to give them to Della A. Ralph Matthews doesn’t think he w’ill have any more use for his tuba so he is going to will it to Donald Dunlap. Seems as though Gwen Williams has a horrible habit of drinking coke and she W'ants to get rid of it so she is willing it to Marlene Radtke. It looks as though Virgil Markus is going bankrupt since he wants to will his used car business. Cookie seems to be quite a fortunate person. Why? Because Marjorie Bowman is willing to Cookie her trusty tw’o-inch pencil. Guy Belleman seems to want to be like Nettie since he is willing all his girl friends except his latest one to the Ag boys. Looks like Mr. Heidenreich will get his bicycle after all because Virginia Merett is willing him her bike and she wills her lunch pail to Marvel L. Richard Grady doesn’t think Don Dunlap is tall enough so he is willing his long legs to Don, and we do mean long. Bob Zielinski is willing his ability to stay out of trouble to the Junior class. James Keys wills the Class of “53” to TaHoMa. As if Don C. doesn’t have enough trouble, Chuck Barbero decides that he will will all his car troubles to him. Wills, wills and more wills. But here are a few more. Shirley Kovash doesn’t like to do all the blushing so she is willing all her blushing to her dear old cousin Alice G. Victor Biasotti wills Helen H. to his brother, Santo. Bill Bowman wills all his blondes to the future Ag boys. Last but not least, is Buddy Dubigk who wills his 6 feet 2 inches to Pete Peterson. Oh, we almost forgot, Herbert Reed who wills his intelligence to Dick Stone. 12 TaHoMa, ’48 ffuniosui .

Yes, they admit the other students shuddered, the teachers were stunned and the School Board was horrified, but they bravely continued. The end of the school year finally arrived with the cheerful thought of returning the following fall. The Sophomore class began to toll the bells for the year of 46” with the enrollment of 30 students. They liked this year better because the teachers began to agree they were human, but it was still a struggle to hold their heads up before the upper classmen. Yes. there were trips to the office for some and notes to the parents for others, but at least 24 of the more determined students finished the year. Juniors, at last they have become upper classmen. The enrollment reads 15 students remaining to carry on the hopes and dreams of the 33 students of two years ago. With graduation as their goal, their heads held high, the juniors have at last realized the important part they hold in TaHoMa High. The activities of the year for the Junior Class began with an assembly given for the rest of the school. The assembly which consisted of musical selections a nd a one-act play. “Cornin' Round the Mountain” was given December 3, 1947. The annual Junior Prom this year was one of the most important dances of the year. The date was March 19. 1948. Each and every Junior will long remember that evening as an outstanding event of their school days. The class officers for the present year are: Margie Knott, president; Betty Hedin, vice-president; Colleen Palmer, secretary, and Jim Sener, treasurer. The class feels they have had a very successful year under the excellent guidance of their advisor, Mr. Harold Heilsberg. The Juniors are looking forward to a happy, successful Senior Year.

At the start of the “47” season, Tahoma’s football outlook was very bright, what with several promising players coming up from last years second squad to help out the 12 returning lettermen. The lettermen were as follows: Jack LeGrande, Less Collecchi, Chuck Barbero, Fred Habenicht, Bill Bowman, Bud Dubigk, Dick Kleparek, LaVerne Gay, Don Neal, Bud Plischke, Virgil Markus, and Robert Zielinski. The coaching staff was also bolstered with the arrival of Mr. Heilsberg, the new assistant coach. In their first conference game of the year, the Bears met the everpowerful Mt. Si eleven. The game was a hard fought battle for both teams with Mt. Si on the winning end of a 25-0 score. Next for Tahoma were their everlasting enemies, the Meridian Blackhawks. The game was played at the Kent High School Field. This game was filled with thrills and excitement, and when the final whistle blew, the Bears were ahead 7 to 6. Tahoma’s next game was with the Bothell eleven. Bothell, who were defending champions lived true to form and soundly trounced the Bears 25-0. For their fourth conference game, Tahoma journeyed to Issaquah to tangle with the Issaquah Indians. The Indians, sporting one of the fastest teams in the league edged the Bears, 21-13, with the brilliant running of the Issaquah backfield highlighting the game. Vashon’s Pirates, one of the top teams in the conference standings, were the home team for Tahoma’s next game. The game, which was played in a very heavy rain, produced many costly fumbles on the part of Tahoma, and when the game wras over the score read 19 for Vashon and 0 for Tahoma. In their last game of the year, Tahoma met Tolt, in a game played at the Issaquah Memorial Field. Both teams put everything they had into the game and produced a real show' for the spectators. When the game was over Tolt sported a 13 to 7 win over Tahoma and that was the end of the Football season for the year. — SQUAD MEMBERS 1st row: left to right; Herbert Reed, Bob Doyer, Mickey Ek.

The highlights of the 1947-48 basketball season which featured 16 conference games began when the Bears played the I.akeside Lions in a home game, defeating them for the first time in three years with the score of 25 to 23. This game was the beginning of a series of eight straight conference wins. With the winning of the Lakeside game and the return of four lettermen, the Bears had a very bright outlook for the 47-48 reason. The second game was played at TaHoMa, the Bears playing host to the Vashon Pirates. The Bears won, making it their second win. On Dec. 19th TaHoMa made its first trip away from home when they journeyed to Issaquah to defeat the Indians 34 to 25. With a long rest during Christmas vacation the Bears came back, rested up and ready to take another win when they defeated the Meridian Blackhawks. It Was a very close scoring game in the first half, the score being 12 to 0. The Bears came back in the Becond half to take the game by a wide margin. The next game was one of the hardest fought battles of the season when the Bears played the Foster Bulldogs, winning the game 29 to 27. Prior to this game both teams were tied for first place. After defeating Foster, TaHoMa took over undisputed first place, having lost no games. TaHoMa then played n return game with the Issaquah Indians, defeating them a second time by the score of 48 to 37. The Bears played another game that name week with the Lakeside Lions. With the loss of the Foster game the Bears were discouraged and could not get their old fire back. They were defeated by the Lions making it their second loss. The Lakeside game was the second of a series of Asses for the Bears, losing their next game to Mt. Si., the only undefeated class A school. The Bears came within five points of winning but could not get the required five points ns the game ended. TahoMa met two more defeats before they managed to take their eighth win. Playing in two away from home games the Bears were defeated first by Overlake, and A school; and the following week by Vashon, a B school. The Tolt Demons then came to TaHoMa to be swamped by the Bears with the score 54 to 28. The Meridian Blackhawks returned the Bears’ compliment by defeating them i a game at Meridian. The last game of the season was played at TaHoMa. The Bears losing to the Bothell Cougars 49 to 43. 30 TaHoMa, ’48 fealehall . . .

Returning lettermen were Jerry Wright. Bob Faull, Bob Sizemore. Less Collecchi, Fred Habenicht, Chuck Barbero, Ken Collins, Virgil Markus, Jack LeGrande, and Bud Dudigk. For the first game of the year, Tahoma played Enumclaw at Enumclaw in a practice game. A highlight of this game was a six run outburst by the Enumclaw Tigers which netted them all of their runs n the sixth inning. But as Tahoma had built up an early lead of five runs, the Tigers could never quite catch up and the final score was 7 to 6 in favor of the Bears. Tahoma's next practice game was played with the Tolt Demons on the Bears home field. The Beari won an easy 4 to 1 victory over the Demons in this game, but as this wasn’t a conference game it was a very hollow victory. In their first conference game of the year, Tahoma met the Overlake Wolverines on the Tahoma field. Tahoma scored three runs in the second inning, s'.nd were never headed after that. The final score read 4 to 0 in favor of Tahoma. For their second conference game, Tahoma met the Issaquah Indians on the Indians own stamping grounds. When the hostilities were ended, Xssaquah had walked off with a 2 to 1 victory over the Bears. The victory came suddenly for the Indians as in the last half of the ninth inning with the bases loaded and two men out, Issaquah’s left fielder connected with a sound single to send the winning run over the plate. Tahoma's next game was a return game with theEnumclaw Tigers which was played on the Bears field. The Bears won this game by the score of 6 to 0. With their standings severely jolted by the Xssaquah victory, the Bears were determined to better their posit’on at the hands of the Tolt Demons. This game was played on the Tolt field with the Bears swamping the Demons by the score of 11 to 0. Tahoma’s next practice game was with their everlasting enemy, the Meridian Blackhawks. This game was a six inning affair and was played on the Tahoma field. The Blackhawks won this game by a 4 to 2 score.
