To you, Mr. Gray, we would like to extend our long-due thanks for the years you gave to improve not only TaHoMa as a school, but us, the students of TaHoMa. When reminiscing we go back to 1944, your first year here, and from then on you gained the admiration you deserved from all TaHoMa-ites. We remember the many plays, operettas, quartettes, the double octette, and the many other activities you inspired and directed; hut most of all we remember the friendship and help you gave us when we needed it most. Yes, Mr. Gray, with the Dedication that's why we dedicate our second go our thanks for the four years you annua I Ki-Ah-Yu to spent at TaHoMa. you, and £ i+tceAely, C7 4e J49 Ki-Ah-'l u KI - AH - YU 5 9nt o-ductio i Gla 'l i . . . . LAWRENCE A. GIBSON £ u esutUetide+tt The power of man is within himself. The frontiers of opportunity are ever with us. We need only to be prepared. It is this power within us which must be utilized if we are to prepare ourselves to live in a changing world. You of TaHoMa High, have the opportunities of a well-balanced self improvement program. You can and must prepare to meet a changing future. The challenge to you is great. TaHoMa does and will provide the means through a modern curriculum, for you to achieve this goal. This is my first year as your superintendent and I extend my thanks to the students and faculty of TaHoMa for their fine co-operation in working toward a broad educational outlook. To the staff of the Ki-Ah-Yu a most successful annual. Mr. Gibson is a graduate of St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, with a B.A. degree and a graduate of the State University of Iowa with an M.A. degree, also he has had additional training at the University of Washington. P UHcificU I congratulate the students of TaHoMa High who through co-operative effort and hard work have made this a most successful year. We have tried to provide a well balanced academic program this year besides giving opportunity for individual growth and development through participation in our various activities. The Ki-Ah-Yu presents a fine cross section of school life. The annual staff is to be complimented for so ably preserving our High School experiences for future reflection. Mr. Ingman has attended the University of Washington. KENNETH INGMAN KI-AH-YU 7 tyacultif . . . MARY ANN BOGGAN Eighth Grade ANNA BORGESON Commercial and English MARJORIE S.

GlcUA, cMiAt uf, Seniors, yes, at last we have reached our first goal in life as our first 12 years of school are over. Twelve years, that’s a long time when we stop to think of it. Yet each and every year holds some memory which will linger for many years to come. Especially our four years of high school together. The crazy and unearthly things we did. which kept our teachers wondering if we were human or not. Remember how we began our Freshman year like a batch of 33 proud chickens strutting around the halls of TaHoMa? Of course after initiation was over, as everyone noticed, we felt like someone had clipped our wings. Mrs. Prall. our class advisor, must have had some hope for us, for she finished out the year. Hmmm, I wonder if she ever recovered? The class officers for this beginning year were: President, Russell Richardson: Vice-President. Bud Plischke; Secretary, Rosie Phillips and Treasurer, Margie Knott. Bottom row, left to right: Vice President Alice Grady; President. Dolores Vaiente. Top row, left to right: Secretary, Frances Wisniski; Treasurer, Desma Taylor. We really did have a lot of trouble that year, what with convincing the 8th graders that we were upper classmen now and trying to keep out of the seniors’ way. Boy, that was a job. Some of us made names for ourselves by holding club offices, while the rest of us spent our time holding down the principal’s office. That’s the way life goes, you know, someone gets caught every time! Sophomores, well at least 30 of us bounced out of the school busses to get our heads together and lay forth some drastic plan of destruction, just to keep the school term from being dull, you know. Mr. Bohtlingk. our class advisor, was a patient, strong-minded man, thank goodness for that. He helped us over the rough spots and when we thought things looked as bad as they could, he would just laugh and say, Well, you could be Freshmen again, you know. It seems funny, but that cheered us up every time. A great deal of our class work was taken care of by our Sophomore class officers: President, Margie Knott; Vice President, Dolores Vaiente; Secretary, Beverly Weimer and th Tereasurer was Glen Larson. September, as TaHoMa reopens for the school year of ’47-’48. only 15 Juniors came that first day. Well, we hoped the others wouldn’t be too late and we settled down to work. As the days went by it finally dawned on us the rest were not only late—they were absent. Yes, it was true, only 15 strong little studens made up the Junior class. Oh. of course the other classes whispered that with a class like ours only the strongest could survive, but we never let that bother us. In our opinion we enjoyed a very successful school year. The first outstanding activity was an hour assembly given for the rest of the school. There were musical selections and a one-act play entitled Cornin’ Round the Mountain,” after which we acted like a bunch of Hill Billies for weeks to come. Speaking of outstanding events, how about our Junior Prom which was given March 19, 1948? I think we will always remember the theme Woodland Fantasy” by picturing the beautiful green trees, which circled the dance floor and that huge harvest moon which gave just the perfect light. Colleen Palmer and Bud Plischke led the Senior Class of 48 to their graduation. This was rather a sad night for the Juniors, as we all stopped to realize just how much we would miss the Seniors. The class officers for this year were: President, Margie Knott; Vice President, Betty Hedin; Secretary, Colleen Palmer, and Treasurer, Jim Sener. Our Senior class consists of 13 dignified, well-mannered students or at least that’s what the rest of the classes believe, but little do they know what goes on in our class meetings. We find that now we have more headaches this year than in the past 11. Smile Pretty.” You guessed it—Senior pictures. It took us three hours that morning to get ready and in two minutes it was over. Oh! pardon us. we mean the click was over, but the moans and groans of the results will probably continue for months to come. Action! Boy, what action was needed to put over the Senior Play. “Oh Promise Mee,” given the night of November 19. 1948. This is one play we will never forget and we hope the community around us will long re- member it as a symbol of our class. We like our class as it is never dull. In fact if there isn't something of great interest going on around us there is always some poor human getting caught in his neighbor’s locker door. There is always something that needs patching up. If it isn’t human, it’s some friendship that must be repaired. Ah, yes. never a dull moment. Now the students who are carrying the responsible jobs of class officers for the year are: President, Dolores Vaiente; Vice President, Ailce Grady; Secretary, Frances Wisniski and Treasurer. Desma Taylor. Dim lights, the sweet frangrance of lovely corsages and soft music all combined perfectly with the theme Enchanted Garden” for our Senior Ball. The date as we all remember so well, was January 14, 1949. Graduation, formals and all that’s the final item on our list of happy school memories. We all thank Mr. Moore for his excellent guidance in our happy, successful Senior year. The code for the class of 49 after graduation: Kiss your school days good-bye Hold your head up high Look out, success. Here We Come! !

KI-AH-YU 11 Se+Uosi Pn piteof It was a clear spring day as we were lazily strolling down the road past TaHoMa. Having left our home community after graduating from High School, we were wandering back for the first time in ten years. We were just wishing we had a way to visit all our classmates and see what they were doing, when a 1959 Buick came to a vibrating stop along side of us. We were surprised, but also very delighted to see our old friend, Jim Sener, in the driver’s seat. Having had a long talk with Jim, we learned that he has become interested in politics and is now a member of the Washington State Legislature. Jim also wanted to know about the rest of our classmates so we decided to try to find them and see what each one was doing. When we reached Seattle we glanced in the telephone directory and the first name listed was none other than “Della Aanerud”. We immediately called GLENdale 148-884, which was Della’s number, and she invited us out to “Club 49’’ where she was employed as a magician’s helper. When we arrived at the Club we were surprised to be greeted by Walt Patterson, the head manager. After visiting with Walt and Della for a considerable amount of time they told us where we could locate Rosalee Vey. They said she was known for the finest tailoring in the city of Seattle. When we reached Rosalee’s sewing shop, she informed us that she was starting a sewing club for the benefit of those who can’t sew. We thought this to be a very good idea. Having left her place, we proceeded to find Margie Knott next. After much effort, we finally heard that Margie was living in California so we journeyed down there. We surprised her by being guests of her classroom where she was giving lectures and demonstrations on scientific methods of cooking. Margie informed us that her friend, Marvel LeGrande. was successfully operating a chain of modeling schools in a city a short distance away. We went over to see her and also found Desma Taylor, who had been interested in modeling since childhood, as her capable assistant. As we talked to them we happened to hoar over the radio that Frances Wisniski, Dolores Vaiente, Alice Grady and Colleen Palmr. otherwise known as “The Charmonizers”, were making a name for themselves by siging with a famous orchestra in New York. We reluctantly told Marvel and Desma goodbye and began our long trip to the East Coast. After our arrival in New York we went to see “The Charmonizers’’ sing and to our surprise there was Bill Phillips as the capable orchestra leader. We talked to them and they told us that Betty Hedin was also in New York. We went over to Betty’s and found her busily at work wriing her daily column for the New York Tribune. After talking with Betty we realized that our ambition to see all our classmates was finally accomplished. We felt very fortunate to see them all again and to know that each one was receiving their share of fame in this big world of ours. We wish all of them Good Luck and continued success! ! 12 TaHoMa, ’49 fjuniosi GIgAA . . . First row, left to right: Norma Beaudry, Ella Bow man. Henrietta Codiga, Don Crosson.

The Golden Bears made a mighty effort to beat the Mount Si Team with Bud Gesell throwing a pass to Jim Sweeney who went over for the only touchdown. Our team was aided by only four lettermen of the previous year. These were: Bud Gesell, Captain and quartrback; Ralph Neimeyer. left-guard; Mickey Ek, left-end and Jim Sweeney, fullback. Thus, a much better outcome was expected than that which we actually had. TaHoMa went to Bothell to play the Cougars under the lights. The Golden Bears were defeated by 31 to 6 by the Cougars. TaHoMa made its touchdown in the second guarter of the game. Bud Gesell hurriedly threw a pass to Bob Hale, who, in turn, ran it over for a touchdown. Bob Hale attempted to kick the extra point, but failed. The TaHoMa Golden Bears traveled to Issaquah to play their third conference game under he lights. After a rough and rugged fight the Issaquah Indians downed the Golden Bears 50 to 0. There were several minor injuries, but nothing too serious. TaHoMa played Vashon here on our home field. The boys played a close game, but lost to Vashon, 12 to 7. Vashon scored twice in the first half. After a pep talk from their coach, Mr. Ken Ingman, the Golden Bears rolled out on the field to intercept a Vashon pass. Bob Hale, pass intercepter. ran the ball over for their extra point. TaHoMa then rolled within three yards of a touchdown, but a stroke of bad luck caused one of our boys to fumble the ball and there went the chances to win against this Vashon team. The Golden Bears played their best game of the season against Vashon. TaHoMa traveled to Tolt to play and lose their last conference game of the season. The Golden Bears fell down at their game, they just didn’t seem to click as a team and lost 18 to 7. You have had a lot of tough luck, Golden Bears, but you always played with the sportsmanship of a real team. Better luck and many victories in your seasons to come. ft NEIMEYER Guard CROSSON End DUGAN Tackle TaHoMa, ’49 First row: left to right. Jim Sweeney. Clark Twedt. Jim Sener, Bill Phillips.

And as reward for their efforts they were presented with the beautiful Lakeside League Baseball Trophy, a prize well worth working for. From the first, the Play Ball found Chuck Barbero burning them in from the pitcher's mound and Don Crosson behind the catcher's mask. While Bud Dubigk was very nicely taking care of first, Johnny Litras and Ken Collins were showing them how second and third should be taken care of. Don Neal made history on short stop while Fred Habnicht, Jack LeGrande and Less Collecchi beautifully covered left, center and right fields respectively. Put this co-ooeration and ability together and you have an A-1 team—a winning team. A team that beat the Issaquah Indians 2-0 in the first conference game of the season, and followed it with a 15-1 victory over the Tolt Demons. The taste of victory is sweet and this was proven once more as the Bears held Mt. Si to a 6-2 victory in the third conference game of the season. Meridian was next to bow to the Golden Bears with the dizzy score of 19-2 on the Black Diamond field. But the true test of the Bears' strength came on the Renton Diamond when they faced the Bothell Cougars in a thrilling battle for the championship. After the struggle the Bears emerged on top with the hard-earned score of 4-2. Without a loss all season TaHoMa gained the coveted trophy and all the true admiration that Champions deserve. 22 TaHoMa, ’49 ‘49 JUtte-Up.. . .
