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

Text from Pages 1 - 60 of the 1950 volume:

H R L F E E N T U F Y ij-' Well, here we are at the end of the road. It has been a hard road to travel, but we’ve reached our goal at last. We are proud to present to you, the students of TaHoMa, the 1950 KI AH YU. THE ANNUAL STAFF KI AH YU means Bear DEDICHTIDN We dedicate this, our third Annual, to the fight for World Peace. Through all the years World Peace has been a dream of many nations, but this dream has yet to become a reality. This reality would solve many of today’s problems. There would be no great cities to rebuild after bombs had demolished them, the good will between nations would be preserved, and most important of all, millions upon millions of innocent lives would not be lost. It is up to each and every one of us to see that this dream does become a reality. We must practice broadmindedness and tolerance, we must abolish personal racial prejudice, and we must raise our standards of living as high as possible. If we strive to accomplish these things, and teach our children to do the same, then somedaj the future our descendants will feel the great joy of having World Peace! SHIRLEY LAPINSKI, Editor RDMINI5TKHTIDN I remember one of my favorite college Professors telling me that a nation was judged by the education which it gave its youth. Since then I have observed that not only a nation may be judged thus, but so may a city, a town, or a community. Let us endeavor to give our youth the best education available. Mr. Priebe graduated from U. of Wash, and took graduate work at the U. of Wash. LLOYD H. PRIEBE, Superintendent After almost a year in your system I sincerely agree with a former teacher from your school, who told me that in all his experience he had never known a finer student body than that of TaHoMa. Your honesty, frankness, and faithfulness in meeting daily problems have been remarkable. I am certain that these characteristics, together with the friendly teamwork and co-operation, such as displayed in building the annual, will prove valuable in the harder tasks which lie ahead.

Now that we are finishing our last days of high school, we look back on our four years at TaHoMa. Some of us wonder how we finally succeeded in reaching our goal of high school graduation. We began our freshman year feeling quite proud of ourselves but by the time our never-to-be-forgotten initiation was over we didn’t feel quite so high in the world. The class officers of our freshman year were: President, Bud Gesell; Vice President, Barbara Babbitt; Secretary-Treasurer, Helen Horne. We had our troubles that year but when our nominee for Agriculture Queen, Helen Horne, was elected, our morale was certainly lifted. As Sophomores, about thirty five of us brightened the halls of TaHoMa one September morning. Our lucky advisor that year, Mr. Donald Smith, was slightly puzzled as to what to do with us, but he bravely took on the job of advisor. Our officers for that year were: President, Dale Sandhei; Vice President, Bud Gesell; Secretary, Pauline Blye; Treasurer, Bobby Solak. We were climbing in our successes too, at least we thought so. That year we put on an assembly. It was a one act play called The Little Red Schoolhouse”. It took a lot of work but we finally put it over. Everyone had a good laugh at us on the stage performing like old troupers. Maybe you remember Don Crosson as the toughest boy in school and Bud Gesell as the meekest? At the beginning of our Junior year there were still about thirty survivors on this long and rocky road to graduation. We were beginning to feel wonderful now as the Senior Class only had thirteen members and there were thirty of us, well ... we felt pretty big. The teams were made up of mostly Juniors that year and the honor of TaHoMa was at stake so out went our boys to the battle. They arc still with us so they came through all right. Our Junior Prom was something to remember. The theme Over the Rainbow” was beautiful. We all worked so hard to make it a success. When the great night came, the night of April 8, 1949 the girls in their formals and the boys in suits came through the doors. Oh yes, it was a night to remember and it was a success. Our officers for this year were: President, Ella Bowman; Vice President, Gene Thompson; Secretary, John Petellin; Treasurer, Don Crosson; Sergeant-at-Arms, Helen Horne. Then came the year we had all been waiting for—our senior year. There were thirty two survivors left, but by half year there were only twenty eight seniors. After a great deal of planning and high hopes we put on our Senior Ball. The date was December 17. After many vacations and some delays we worked on our Senior Play. Much shivering and cold chills was the order of the day when the final hour drew near. At last it was the evening of March 31 and seen wandering through the halls were seme grotesque characters from the play One Mad Night.” Some of the faces were quite enough to scare anyone! The play, which we believed a success will never be forgotten by the graduating class. Now we are drawing nearer our goal. The grand moment when we will walk up to receive our diplomas, when we will be starting out on a new adventure, an adventure that will hold careers, adventure, home lives and a brighter tomorrow for all the seniors of 1950. The Senior Class reunion will be June 8th, 1952. What a bright and shining evening! The theme for the Sr. Ball was Winter Wonderland” and the purpose to have a gay time. The Theme was fulfilled and also the purpose. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Dear Teddie!! Well the year of 1960 has come, and here is the old class of 1950 slowly climbing to the heights of success in their chosen fields. We are on our way to visit our former classmates. We are passing the University of Washington Stadium, we stop for a moment to watch the Huskies play Notre Dame. Well! look who’s playing for the Huskies!! Bud Gcsell as star quarter-back!! There goes the kick-off by Notre Dame and their fullback is none other than Jim Sweeney. We go into the stands to sit down and as we pass the private box on the 50 yard line we hear someone say hello to us. Why it’s Ella Bowman and Don Crosson rooting for the Huskies. Don looks very sporty in his racoon coat. We finally find a place to sit and just as we get seated who should come by selling peanuts and popcorn but our old pal Johnny Petellin. He is still sticking by his old idea of never getting married. Well, there’s Harriet Schlief. She’s rooting for Jim Sweeney. Say it’s getting late so we had better be on our way. We go out to the street to hail a taxi when all of a sudden we are lost in a cloud of dust. No, it’s not a dust storm nor an airplane but Bob Hale in his Hot Rod Ford. Bob tells us he is in such a rush, because he is already late in picking up Janet Webb, who is an Art Instructor at the University of Washington. We say our goodbye and decide that we had better walk. After walking for a while our feet begin to burn so we decide to take in a show. We step inside and to our amazement Jim Knapp and Bill Hosmun greet us. They are the owners of this money making theater. They honor us by giving us our choice of seats. We thank them and sit down to enjoy ourselves. The newsreel is first. Sports flash on the screen and lo and behold! there is Bob Chipman, high jumping for Yale. Say, look at that cute little blonde with the first aid kit and no fingernails!! Why that’s Ida Stoker, Bob’s professional coach. Then it jumps to Washington D. C. and Politics. There is Dale Sandhei making a political speech. Dale is running on the Capitalist ticket for the president of the United States. Next, soft music and girls tell us we are abount to look at the latest Hair Styles from New York, and Look!! by Paulyne Martinez. Europe is next on the list where Margie Higginbotham is playing her violin. Margie is on tour with the Symphony Orchestra. That is the end of a surprising newsreel. Now we are ready to concentrate on the main picture. The name of this academy award winner is The Loves of Adaline” starring Artio Johneirn alias Arthur Johnson and being produced by Quentin Hyatt. We enjoy the picture very much and certainly think it will be a success. Well, our feet are rested so we had better be on our way. We step into the street and a photographer snaps our pictures. That should be a swell picture,’’ says a voice that sounds like Ralph Niemeyer. Well! Well! it is. Ralph is taking street pictures and enjoying it. As we walk on we hear a loud whistle, we turn around and there is Harold Dougan waving to us from a box car on the Northern Pacific Train. We wave and smile as it races by us. As we turn around we are just about knocked down by a rushing figure. It is Coralee Williams and she apologizes and says that her horse has come in first in the Kentucky Derby and she is on her way to the airport. Farewell, she says and off she goes. We look at our watches and decide it’s time to eat. We are in luck as who should be the owner of this restaurant but Shirley Bowman. Shirley says her rabbits are angora and the finest in the country. Darn, we spill our tea on us and we can’t go any farther unless we have some spot remover so we drop into Coffee’s Cleaners across the street. Across the counter a familiar girl gives us a friendly smile. Yes, Henrietta Codiga owns her cleaning shop. Henrietta removes the spots and we look like new. Just when every thing is peaceful and quiet, a loud siren sounds off. It is a cop chasing a car or something that resembles a car. We wait for the light to turn and then cross the street to get a closer peek. The officer gives us a friendly hail, and says, Remember me? I’m Bill Vetters.” We said, Hi , and turn to see who the guy in the car is. To our amazement the guy sitting in his imaginary car is Robert Johnson. Bob says, You can’t fine me because I have a good lawyer. Dick Korslund gave me a patent number for this invention. Well, since we all went to school together Robert is saved from a fine. He says thanks and we are on our way. Down the street a large skyscraper is being built under the supervision of Jack Spurgeon. Jack is 200 feet in the air so can’t get to talk to him. Bill Vetters tells us Shirley Lapinski and Donna Shelhamer are working at a television studio. So we decide we journey down to see them. Donna is the make-up girl for all the stars and Shirley is the chief announcer. They are both doing fine in their profession. We have a friendly talk and we think we had better hit the road as our time is up. After seeing all our classmates very happy our minds are filled with wonderful memories. Well, we have to sign off, but GOOD LUCK CLASSMATES and FUTURE SUCCESS!!

(Back Row, Left to Right): Bob Chipman, as John Alden; Henrietta Codiga, as Priscilla; Lila Bowman, as Mrs. Kluck; Bud Gesell, as Dr. Bunn; Harold Dougan, as Artemus Burke; Shirley Bowman, as Depression; John Petillin, as Mr. Hyde; Dale Sandhei, as Danny Siletto; Arthur Johnson, as Wing. This play takes place in One Mad Night, and what a crazy night it is! Don Cutter, a playwright, accompanied by Wing, his proverb-quoting Chinese valet, goes to the Cutter mansion, a lonely house in the hills, to complete his latest play in peace and quiet. The house has been deserted for years, a series of mysterious murders having given it the reputation of being haunted. Imagine Don’s astonishment when he finds the house tenanted by a number of very strange people, including John Alden, Priscilla, Mr. Hyde, and Lady Macbeth.” They are lunatics, under the care of Dr. Bunn, whose home nearby has burned down. They are really quite harmless, but Don doesn’t know this. Among the inmates is Lucille, a beautiful girl with an amazing story of persecution and intrigue. Like a true Lochinvar, Don is just about to ride to her rescue when his fiancee and her mother put in an appearance with their maid. Depression—one of the funniest colored characters in years. From this point, everything happens, including talking ghosts, screaming women, disappearing guests and, for a climax, the appearance on the scene of an escaped murderer fleeing for his life. Don succeeds in rescuing the lovely Lucille from a sinister fate only after a series of thrillingly funny escapades. By the time the final curtain fell, the audience was weak from laughter and ready to admit that One Mad Night is the last word in rapid-fire hilarity.

TaHoMa High School Intramural sports contrives through good feeling and better understanding among its players to build red-blooded men and women of the future. Intramural sports give the students who do not get a chance to participate in varsity sports an opportunity to represent their classes in inter-class competition. This helps develop mind and body, to learn the rules of the game and to obtain an understanding of good sportsmanship. There has been intramural competition in basketball, volley tennis, volley ball, soft ball, badminton, and ping pong. B||US' INTRHMURRL Champion Volleyball and Basketball teams.
