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

Text from Pages 1 - 78 of the 1955 volume:

Dak o m a J4i9i ScLof WapL Vatt.a, W x j .j m y v 2 u LLOYD H. PRIEBE The theme of this year's annual, television, has been introduced into the home practically during your high school life, and is now considered as one of the major mediums of mass communication, entertainment and education. It is well to remember the introduction of television and associate it with your high school life. Your high school experiences themselves should be remembered as vital factors in the foundation of your life. The friends youhave made and the knowledge you have attained will have a definite influence on your future. We hope that TaHoMa High School has set up the proper environment and offered you the proper tools with which you can attain the maximum desired in the adult you are going to be. Choosing modern television as the theme of this year's KI-AH-YU was an appropriate and timely idea. Television represents the diversified and changing era in which we live and points ahead to the wonderful age that will belong to the graduates of 1955. It promises to be a complex, challenging, and, in some respects, a terrifying age. Technology has given us, through such developments as modern television, a greater measure of entertainment and comfort. On the other hand it has given us, through man's control of nuclear energy, weapons of untold power. I urge you to continually expand your education and then to use it wisely so that these greatforces canbe used for the good of mankind, for it was the historian, Henry Adams, who said, We know so little, and our power is so great. I hope youhave learned a little from your association with us, and I hope you will continue to learn much more. Good luck. OREN C. JENSEN 3 DUANE M. DUXBvKX' B.A., U. of W. Graduate work at U. of W.

The In 1951 we entered the halls of TaHoMa High School to be greeted by the news that Freshmen Initiations had been discontinued. Activities that year included a skating party, a class play entitled Dirty Work at the Crossroads, a Christmas party, and a class picnic. In our Sophomore year another skating party and also a Christmas party were held. A skating party and the Junior-Senior ball were the main activities in our Junior Year. Highlights of our Senior year were: Senior play, The Skeleton Walks, and the Junior-Senior Prom.

In nonleague games, however, the Bears won only four and lost ten. The Bears also lost their two games in the District Class B sub-division tournament against Eatonville and Orting. This made a season record of nine wins and thirteen defeats. League games are always the big ones, however, and so the figures below represent the big news of the past season: Final League Standings Scores of League Games Won Lost TaHoMa 43 Everett 60 TaHoMa 65 Everett 42 TAHOMA 5 1 TaHoMa 51 Lakeside 41 Lakeside 3 3 TaHoMa 51 Tolt 45 Everett B 2 4 TaHoMa 58 Tolt 41 Tolt 2 4 TaHoMa 49 Lakeside 45 BELOW: Front row: Danny Sutcliffe, Pat Lancaste r, George Pries, Jim Walls.
