Tolt High School - Tolo Yearbook (Carnation, WA)

Text from Pages 1 - 68 of the 1951 volume:

Vacation ends. We . . . hustled and bustled and rustled and muscled and (almost) cuss-eled as we earnestly endeavored to make this Tolo a memory book that Tolt high school students will like and treasure. --The Annual Staff a 1951 We'll fight for your good name . . . J oaril £ „ cation r MR. VERNET ELIA SON, MR. JOE HILLIS, MR. KENNETH SIKES, MRS. ETHEL BOSHAW, MR. TENNIS ROETCISOENDER GOOD SCHOOLS ARE THEIR WAGES The members of the Board of Directors of School District 407 have worked faithfully, not only to meet current problems, but to set up a long range program which will guarantee the girls and boys in their district the best educational opportunities. Believing that it is good business to have good schools and good schools are everybody's business, they submitted a special bond issue to the voters. The voters approved, making a new agriculture building, a new gym and needed additions and repairs to school buildings pos- sible. Too often the general public withholds its praise when things run smoothly and well. The students of Tolt High, however, appreciate what the board members have done and hope that they will continue their good work. 5 ROBERT FOSTER Superintendent Associated Students Where do you belong?

CLARK THE LUNCHROOM CORPS Mashed potatoes and gravy, celery sticks, milk, bread, and vanilla ice cream make up a typi- cal menu as served by the lunch- room corps under the supervision of Mrs. Clark. This meal costs the students twenty cents. The food is cooked at the grade school and transported to the high school just before serving time. An average of 70 students are served in the lunchroom every day. Shirley Patterson and Vera Farnum, with the aid of Mr. Owens, set the tables and serve the food. Peggie Hix is lunch- room cashier.

SEVEN GIRLS AND SEVENTEEN BOYS The 17 boys in the class of '52 managed to keep the 7 junior girls in a dither most of the time. In spite of this, the class kept functioning fairly normally. It elected a Boze to the presidency, one Wade by name; chose an accordion player, Henry (Punk) Bergsma, vice- president: made rosy-cheeked Darlene Jones its secretary, and Fritz Palermo, the class cut-up, treasurer. Miss Egner was class adviser. The juniors lost over $130 of their class ring money when the school safe was looted December 7. This was made up later from another fund. The chief contribution of the class of '52 to Tolt High activities was in the field of athletics. 14 1ST ROW -- Smith, Davidson, M. Magdlin, W.

A QUIETER, THANK GOODNESS, CLASS One of the quieter, thank goodness, classes in school, the class of '53 began the year by electing John Aronica to lead it. Gail Hjertoos became vice-president and Donna Davidson, secretary. Mary Jo Bartos acquired useful pointers concerning the duties of her office of treasurer from the junior class. Mr. Ottem was class ad- viser. Buster Platt, Tony Loutsis and Johnny Aronica were members of both the football and basketball squads. Seven sophomores made the honor roll. They were Gail Hjertoos, Mary Jo Bartos, Mike Kelly, Burl Davies, Mary Hallum, Jim Davis and Donna Davidson. The Associated Student Body dug down to the sophomore class to find a secretary.

They were put under the guid- ance of Mr. Miner; and chose Vemet Eliason to lead them. Dick Amos was elected his understudy; Cherie Austin, his secretary; and Brent Hall, his bookkeeper. Members of the cass of '54 have shown they can handle both books and balls with skill. Tom Wasmund, Sharon Magdlin, Ray Palmer, Vemet Eliason, David Foster, Cherie Austin and Jack Scheidegger have made the honor roll consistently.

BOZE, FINLEY LEARNING TO DO -- THE HARD WAY The story of the Tolt-Camation FFA dur- ing the 1950-1951 school year could best be told in a series of headlines, so unusual were the events which occurred. First, the FFA boys received a bronze award in recognition of general excellence in all phases of FFA work during the previous year. Mr. Ottem, adviser, was presented the award at a conference held in Pullman in August. The chap- ter also received the Master-Chapter award. Secondly, a fire completely destroyed the Ag shop early in the morning of September 28. Valuable tools and machinery were lost in the blaze. The adjoining class room was damaged by smoke and water. This was later repaired suffi- ciently so that it could be used again. Thirdly, Mr. Ottem, FFA adviser, was asked by Uncle Sam to rejoin the marines February 15. February 8 he received papers deferring him until June. The officers of the FFA the past year were Dick Thayer, president, Wade Boze, vice-presi- dent; Henry Bergsma, secretary; Lyle Finley, treas- urer, Ralph Scheidegger, reporter; and Roland Drumm, a sentinel. 19 1ST ROW--Wright, Smith, Houle, Hay, Bartos, Hallum, Simmons, Batton, Oren. 2ND ROW--Hjertoos, Davidson, Jones, DeRycke, Bemdt, Patterson, Evans, Famum. 3RD ROW--M.

STANDING -- Berry, Hay, Joyce, Greaves, Hallum, Jones, Firth. WE ARE ALL PALS TOGETHER' Under the leadenhip of Jeanette Pickering, president, and Mr. Dekker, adviser, the Girls' club tried hard to promote friendly relations be- tween the girls and to encourage them to work for the betterment of the school. OfficeR chosen to aid them were Delores DeRycke, vice-presi- dent; Claudia Johnson, secretary; and Peggy Joyce, treasurer. New membeR were initiated in the fall at a candlelight ceremony held in the Eagles Hall. The points of a star were used to symbolize the ideals of Girls' club -- friendship, leadeRhip, scholaRhip, health and cleanliness. The club sent 5 delegates to a tri-county Girls' club conference held at Monroe where they discussed many problems connected with Girls' club work. Chairmen of the projects sponsored during the year were Peggie Hix. Tolo; Leona Hay, Mother and Daughter Tea; Mary Hallum, girls' room; Darlene Jones, Initiation; and Gail Hjertoos Christmas boxes. Girls in charge of various phases of Girls’ club work were Denise Sayah, food; Ella Lue Firth, clean-up;Patty Faulds. invitations;Marilyn Greaves, decorations; and Joann Berry, entertainment. 21 THE MOST EXCLUSIVE CLUB IN SCHOOL The most exclusive club in school, the one that is the most particular as to who shall become a member, is the Honor Society. It is tough to become eligible to join this select group. Only one dozen students succeeded iast year. Students may become members of the Honor Soci- ety by demonstrating that they have both good sense and brains. Members of the Honor Society last year, as shown left to right in the above picture, are Dick Schmidt, Gail Hjertoos, Peggie Hix, Norman Boze, Burl Davies, Wade Boze, Ralph Scheidegger, Delores DeRycke, Joanne Sikes, Mary Hallum, Mary Jo Banos and Mike Kelly. Mrs. Berges is adviser. 22 cJetlermen KNEELING Kooistra, Aronica, Eastman, T. Platt, Lenting. STANDING -- Mr Miner, Pearson, Bonlie, Clark, Olsen, Drumm, Solberg, Enick, B.

Fourteen boys were found eligible and they, with the two coaches as advisers, elected officers and formulated a policy. Roland Drumm was chosen president, Tom Pierce was elected vice president, and Ray Eastman was named secretary- treasurer. To earn a letter at Toll High, a boy must have played at least one quarter per game scheduled in both basketball and football. Letters may also be earned by playing baseball and tennis. To date the boys have not yet spent the money in the bank. 23 Wright. Smith. N. Chapman. Popkema. Woodward. Pearson. Hjertoos. DIRECTOR -- Mr. Ruth. 1ST ROW -- Popkema. Goodwill. Boze.

Finley Mitt««ner BVSlNES GERs THE ANNUAL STAFF 27 A BOOK'S A MAGIC SORT OF THING. . Books -- over 2,000 of them -- are made avail- able to students through the efforts of Mrs. Berges and her corps of librarians. They keep them in order on the shelves or check them out to all who will read. A clipping file is kept, maps are handy for refer- ence, magazines are kept current and cased, and many other kinds of instructional material are centered in the school library. Approximately $500 worth of books and magazines are added each year. For the first time a full credit course in librarian- ship was offered in which students learned how to use the library and how to help others use it to the best advan- tage too. Seventeen students were enrolled in this course under Mrs. Berges' tutelage. 28 II ...of to co'jYve. t ..w 30 31 0) IS) 1ST ROW--Palermo, B. Platt, Loutsis. Roetcisoender, Olsen, Schmidt.
