Iota 1949 1950 7 Ut School Ti cuAc tO t DEDICATION This annual is dedicated to the intangible feeling which is called school spirit--the feeling of oneness--in athletic rivalry with other schools, in working together in the promotion of worthwhile enterprises, and in a sense of loyalty to the school and its personnel. May this spirit ever grow. 2 May this annual serve to keep the memory of all that was pleasant in the past school year -- ever green. --The Annual Staff 4 THEY HAVE A LOT OF CLASS ROBERT FOSTER Maybe.

Secretary Treasurer A. Schmidt Mr. Foster Every student in the high school is automatically a member of the student body. Last year 120 students were in school. Each class has representatives which meet with the officers period- ically and form the student council. The freshmen and sophomore classes each have two representatives, the upper classes each have one. The duty of the student council is to discuss and plan the various activities which concern the school as a whole. A successful carnival was held again this year. The money made is being applied toward lights for the football field. Other activities spon- sored by the council were a safety campaign and a Christmas party. 8 Ccu ie4 Se uor4 flcotiard So-fifoiMVieA- ?%eA mett ANTININA ARONICA (Nina) I want what I want when I want it.

They will long remember how Cliff Farnum, one of eight freshmen boys who were fighting blindfolded in a boxing ring at the freshman sponsored smoker, was getting the worst of it and how, when his blindfold was knocked off, he more than held his own...and the time AJ Schmidt put dry ice in the pot causing the water to bubble over during a practice period for The Connecticut Yankee ... how surprised the class of ‘47 was when Joyce De Rycke, a freshman at the time, was elected queen of their senior ball...the difficulty the girls had getting their mother’s to yawn at the St. Patrick’s Day tea given by Mrs. Bunge’s freshman home economics class...how irked they were when the class of '51 won the inter-class competition and a trip to Wenatchee...when Kathryn Wallace, of all people, made a flop of baking a valentine cake for a mother-daughter banquet. .. the trouble they had putting on their junior play because cast and director got the flu...how surprised the class of '48 was when Patricia Joyce, a sophomore at the time, was elected queen of their senior ball...and how odd Jackie Clark looked in the black wig she wore when cast as Queen Morgan Le Fay...the dither everyone was in after the big earthquake of April 13, 1949....the fun they had watching the ups and downs of the Carns-Boze romance and how Nina and Mel looked in the old bib overalls, blue shirts, and red hats they wore at the F.F.A. barn dance. Yes, these are the things, and many more like them, that the class of 1950 will long remember. 16 THEY NEED JUST A LITTLE MCRE EFFORT Vice-Pres. Secretary Treasurer T. Platt Br. Berges The class of 1950 waited until spring to give its prom and play. The play, You Can’t Take It With You, was given April 28. Peggy Hix, Ella Lue Firth, Roland Drumm, and Peter Ridge had important roles. Effective use was made of the theme Make Believe, based on the famous song, in the decorations for the junior prom given in May. The juniors have the food concession. They sold pop and hot dogs at all games. Peggy Joyce represented the juniors on the student council. Top row--Bergerud, Berry, N.

Seven boys were added to the class roll and four girls departed for other environs. The list of sophomores showed the names of eight girls and seventeen boys. The class chose Wade Boze as its president. Other officers elected were Allan Bonlie, vice-president; Delores De Rycke, secretary; and Clifford Patrick, treasurer. The sophomores were represented on the student council by Joanne Sikes and Dale Simpson. Miss Egner was class adviser. Six sophomores made the honor roll. They were Wade Boze, Dick Schmidt, Ralph Scheidegger, Joanne Sikes, Bryce Backman, and Dale Simpson. Ralph Scheidegger and Bill Pearson received special recognition as exhibitors at the Evergreen State fair. Ralph was one of four boys who were honored at a Valley Men’s Club dinner for presenting the best exhibits. THEY ARE ON THEIR WAY To ancient and sturdy Tolt high, the little demons, 30 in number, must have looked like countless other freshmen, who have come into its halls to be educated, when they became part of its student body in September. No doubt they were just as green and they looked just as young as did their predecessors. Surely their hopes were just as high. Soon, however, the class of ‘53 began to establish an identity of its own. Taken in hand by their adviser, Mr. Ottem, the freshmen registered, eventually becoming adjusted to classroom routine, and organized, choosing Mike Kelly, John Aronica, Mary Hallum, and Mary Jo Bartos to lead them. Patricia Pearson and Burl Davies represented the freshmen on the student council. Mike Kelly, Gail Hjertoos, Mary Hallum, and Burl Davies led the class scholastically making the honor roll. 19 20 OtyCUUfCltcOHC (folio hotter Society THEY ARE JOYOUS, COURAGEOUS, COURTEOUS J. De Rycke Miss Shaul All the girls in the high school are members of the Girls' club. They learn a creed, carry out certain projects, and sponsor various activities. Freshmen girls were initiated formally and informally October 4 at the Eagles Hall. A slumber party followed. During the year the girls held their annual Tolo, put on a football-basketball banquet, and had their mothers to tea. Activities of the Girls’ club are in charge of members of the cabinet. Last year they were Erma Downing, Francis Welham, Patricia Joyce, Joanne Sikes', Peggy Hix, Denise Sayah, Ella Lue Firth, Peggy Joyce, Delores De Rycke, Claudia Johnson, Bonnie Eastman, Jeannette Pickering, Sylvia Johnson, Kathryn Wallace, and Elizabeth Cams. 21 THEY ARE OUR FUTURE FARMERS President Adviser J. Lout sis Mr. Ottem Vice-Pres. Secretary Treasurer Sentinel Reporter ft - 1 Thayer Finley ■fa. 1. Schmidt Ridge N. Boze The Tolt chapter of Future Farmers of America was a busy organization the past year. Its members took part in fairs where they won more than their share of blue ribbons and where Tolt judging teams held their own. The annual F. F. A. barn dance was held in October. Joyce Riley and Chris Loutsis won the prize for the ‘best dressed1 couple. Peggie Hix and Jeannette Pickering provided entertainment during the intermission. An extra-curricular speech class was begun by Irvin Handlin, Scott Wallace, and the chapter adviser. Norman Boze and Bill Roetcisoender represented the Tolt F.F.A. in a nation-wide public speaking contest. THEY HAD FUN AT THE F.F.A. BARN DANCE 23 THEY HADE THE GRADE Vice-Pres. Sec.-Treas. The Torch Honor Society is a national organization which encourages and rewards scholarship. It has chapters in most high schools. To qualify for membership, a sophomore must have earned 24 points, a junior 50 points, and a senior 80 points. Five points are given for an A, three for a B, and one for a C. Only semester grades count. A candidate's scholastic ability, qualities of leadership, character, and service to the school are also considered. Honor Society pins are awarded to those who have earned them. If a student has a sum of 110 points at the end of his senior year, including seven activity points, a gold torch pin is awarded him permanently. . De Rycke, Sikes, Hix, Wallace, J.

The annual staff must choose a photographer and printer, prepare a dummy or mock-up, decide on the cover, write captions, type and check copy for accuracy, spelling, and grammar, determine what pictures are to be taken, and see that the annual is financed. Many of these tacks were performed by Elizabeth Cams, and Patricia Joyce. Kathryn Wallace and Charles Schroeder were co-business managers. Kathryn was in charge of selling subscriptions and Chuck sold ads to business sponsors. Ella Lue Firth and Nina Aronica gathered information, wrote the calendars, typed, and collected and cropped pictures. Lawrence Patrick and Bill Roetcisoen- der determined the layout of the basket- ball and football pages. Miss Egner was the adviser for the 26 Joyce Cams Adviser annua 1. THEY MET DEADLINES Aronica, J. De Rycke, Hiss Egner, Downing, Clark, Wallace. The school newspaper reflects all phases of school life. Its purpose is to record, to amuse, to point out conditions which need improving, and to give credit where credit is due. It provides training in word usage and develops a sense of responsibility in those who put out the school paper. The Tolt Hi Life was published every other week by the class in journalism. Jacqualin Clark, editor, wrote the editorials, prepared the dummy, and co-ordinated all the activities necessary for publishing the newspaper. Jacqualin also did much of the mimeoscope work. In this she was aided by Joann Berry. The Typing II class did most of the mimeographing. Reporters were Joyce De Mimeographers Rycke, who contributed many of the features; Erma Downing, who gathered the material for many news items; Kathryn Wallace, who wrote most of the news stories; and Nina Aronica, who had the task of writing up sports. Miss Egner was the teacher 27 of the journalism class. Joyce, Hanson, Cams, Vanhulle. THEY TRIED BABY SITTING The senior class presented The Baby Sitter, a comedy in three acts by Perry Clark, on December 2. Joyce De Rycke and Fred Boze played the romantic leads. Charles Schroeder took naturally to his part-- he played the role of an incorrigible boy of 12 who needed a spanking. At the end of the play it was ably admin- istered by Arthur Proffitt, who played the role of his father. Those in the case of The Baby Sitter (as they are standing left to right in the picture below) were: Lawrence Patrick, Nina Aronica, Jackie Clark, Alfred Schmidt, Sylvia Johnson, John Loutsis, Lucy Vanhulle, Elizabeth Cams, Erma Downing, and Pat Joyce. The play was directed by Mr. Gordon Drake. 28 Yell Leaders THEY WILL PLAY BASKETBALL FOR TOLT Coach Berges, T. Loutsis, B. Platt, Lenting, Aronica, Davis. These boys, with Lawrence Lane and Perry Thomas, made up the freshman basketball team. May they practice hard, keep in condition, and grow vastly in stature so they can represent Tolt well in the years to come. He brought the Lakeside League singles tennis championship to Tolt. 31 Pat Terry Captain Lawrence Patrick Coach Hugh Miner John Lout sis Sam Riley Bill Roetcisoender Allan Bon lie FINAL LAKESIDE LEAGUE STANDINGS Won Overlake 9 Bothel1 9 Lakeside 9 Mt.
