Dean Gehretl President Clinton Aiton Vice President Alan Berry Wesley Benefiel Secretary Treasurer THEY MAKE THINGS GO Realizing more than ever the importance of democracy, Wa-Hi students com tinned their practice of democratic government by electing Dean Gehrett presi¬ dent of the studentbody; Clinton Aiton, vice president; Alan Berry, secretary; Wesley Benefiel, treasurer; and Bob Naimy, yell-king. Charlotte Wirth, Ernest Tucker, and Marilyn Corkrum capably assisted Bob Naimy Upon Wesley ' s graduation in mid-term, his place was filled by Harold Myers. The following commissioners were appointed by Dean Gehrett: Richard Nightingale, Justice; Sherman Mitchell, Assemblies; Wayne Fondahn, Buildings and Grounds; Eunice Maier, Interschool Relations; Neil Folletl Halls; Charlotte Wirth, Organizations; Virgil Whitely, Fire Control; and Willa Dean Ogden, Fin¬ ance. These commissioners and Shirlee Winget, president of the Girls 1 Federa¬ tion, Bob Klicker, president of the Boys ' Federation, and Wandalee Fleck, co¬ editor of the Journal, composed the student cabinet. One of the major events of the year was the opening of the Wa-Hive, a teen age club. Student admission was obtained by the purchase of a 50-cent ticket good for one semester. Phyllis Robinson did a very good job as acting commis¬ sioner of the club. Money was appropriated by Legislative Assembly to landscape the Palouse Street entrance. Instead of broadcasting from the Industrial Arts Building, the weekly Wa-Hi broadcast is heard from the stage in the auditorium. This arrangement has proved to be much more convenient. In special assemblies held during the Fourth War Loan, the students bought over $30 ,000 worth of bonds and stamps. This entitled them to a half-day enter¬ tainment at school instead of the regular afternoon classes. The Gimmel Teth Club handled the reservation of athletic season tickets for parents and businessmen. The purchase of one of these tickets entitled the holder to a reserved seat for the season. Due to the town ' s support of the games, the finances of the high school are better than they have been for several years. The cafeteria operated by the student body is still serving many students even through the difficulties of rationed food and rising prices. The Book Store is still operating very successfully with the help of various students. 1ST SEMESTER COURT Front Row; Throop, Kirkpatrick, Batey, Back Row; Walker, Nightingale, Ellis, MeinharL 2ND SEMESTER COURT Front Row: Finne- gan, Duckworth, Shuham, Back Row: Nightin¬ gale, Gilmore, Fahey, STUDENT CABINET Front Row: Gehrett, Robinson, Ogden, Fleck, Wirth.

Shirlee Winget was chosen by the girls to be president. Eunice Maier took over vice-president Denise Bergevin ' s duties when Denise left for college. The other officers were Rose Marie Hubert, secretary, and Marjorie Pifer, treasurer. A few of the monthly assemblies consisted of a style show, an open-forum on courtesy, a talk by Evelyn Lammers of McCaw Hospital, a one-act play, The Dyspeptic Ogre, and a talk by Ensign Bernice Simet of the Spars. The first social affair was the annual fall party put on by the sophomores. It was followed later by the girls ' transfer parties to help the new girls at Wa-Hi to get acquainted with other girls. In the spring the senior tea was once again given by the junior girls; and in May, the party for the incoming freshmen was given by the freshman girls. An important task which the girls have undertaken this year is the sending of newsletters to former Wa-Hi students now in the service. These letters, con¬ taining news of Wa-Hi and the home town, are made possible by contributions made by Wa-Hi students. In this and many other ways, the girls of Wa-Hi are contributing to the war effort. THEY CARRY ON The Boys ' Federation, advised by Mr, Harry Clark, accomplished a great deal this year in spite of war condtions. President of the Boys ' Federation was Bob Klicker, with Charles Maiden vice president. Ray Bell became secretary when Dave Binder was called into the service. When John Stephens left at mid year, the treasurer ' s duties were taken over by Jerry Walker and the chairman¬ ship of the Hospitality Committee by John Melnturff, The position of Commissioner of Assemblies was filled by Dick Turbak who brought the boys much interesting entertainment. Under his capable super¬ vision, each class presented an assembly. The Freshers ' ' Truth or Con¬ sequences program revealed several interesting and unknown facts about the male members of Wa-Hi ' s student body. As a sample of the talent they dis¬ co veied, the boys had Ralph Sinatra Ruff do his stuff for the girls The junior assembly presenting the air-base band was also highly lauded. Probably the most outstanding achievement of the Boys ' Federation during the past year was the starting of the Alma Mater Mail This is a paper written by representatives of the Boys and Girls ' Federations for servicemen and women who formerly attended Wa-Hi. Plans are being made by the Boys ' Federation for the enlargement of the Boys ' Lounge for next year Bob Kticker Dave Binder John Stephens President Treasurer Secretary COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN CABINET McQueen, Melnturff, Baslee Turbak ‘ slee, Kiicker Stephens, McQueen, Binder 1ST SEMESTER OFFICERS Dick Turbak—President Eugene Sope r—Secret ar y -T re as urer Frances Chapman—Vice President 2ND SEMESTER OFFICERS Elaine Cation—President Delore s K rat ma tt —Secretary-Trea s u rer Bob Coleman—Vice President SENIORS Wa-Hi ' s seniors have now completed lour years of high school life and are leaving the scene of their activities with mingled relief and regret. Members of this class, throughout their years at Wa-Hi, have helped to further student government; to publish the Journal and the Royal Blue; to present the all-school plays; to furnish entertainment in assemblies and other programs; to promote Boys ' and Girls ' Federation activities; and to take an active part in both in¬ tramurals and varsity sports. The Class of ' 44 worked diligently toward graduation four years. When that time came they found their ranks had been greatly depleted because so many boys had gone into the service and because several of the class, having earned enough credits to graduate in mid year, had gone on to college. Even so, the graduating class numbered over two hundred. Chosen to lead them for the first semester were Dick Turbak, Frances Chap¬ man, and Eugene Soper, as president, vice president, and secretary, respectively. During the second semester Elain Cation, Bob Coleman, and Delores Kralman filled these same offices. Representatives to Girls 1 Council were LaVonne Buck, Lorraine Johnson, Francene Pauly, and Carol Morris, while Lawana Mae Pieper and LaVonne Buck served on Girls 1 Cabinet. Bob Coleman and Ray Bell were elected to Boys ' Council. Miss Marguerite Mosely served as adviser for the Class of ' 44. Graduation exercises were set for May 25 with Baccalaureate the preceding Sunday. Dr. Ralph E. Tieje, President of Eastern Washington College of Educa¬ tion at Cheney, was chosen as Commencement speaker, Rev. Arthur A. Vall- Spinosa was selected to deliver the Baccalaureate address.

Jameson, Baslee Mr. Reynolds THEY KEEP THE RECORD Are we going to have an annual? was the question often asked in the halls of Wa-Hi last fall. Student interest rose to a high pitch, but due to the lack of an adviser and materials, hopes were temporarily blighted. The matter was settled by choosing five faculty members as advisers: Dean Lobaugh, general adviser; Miss Dorothy Allison, make-up; Miss Helen McCormick, sales; Harrison Clark, finance; Allen Reynolds, assisted by two students, Richard Nightingale and Robert Naimy, photography. Burton Boylan was chosen by the Student Cabinet to act as editor of the Royal Blue, and Robert Coleman was appointed as business manager. The sales staff was composed of a number of students who willingly offered their assistance. Advanced sales nearly reached the six-hundred mark which guaranteed publication of the annual. The editorial staff was organized with Associate Editor Madelyn Jameson supervising the art Associate Editor Maxine Lanchester in charge of the copy, and Phyllis Hart as picture editor. Since Phyllis was unable to continue in this position, Phyllis Kidwell was later appointed picture editor. The organization was completed without much difficulty, but the production of an annual in war-time was a different story. Although students were eager to begin, nothing else seemed to be. THEY KEEP THE RECORD The camera was not available until after the first of January. This meant that many pictures had to be taken on dark and rainy days. (Maybe you can use this as a good excuse for that ' horrid ' ' picture of you!) After the pictures had been received, or were tracked down by our super- sleuth, Phoebe Kid well, the task of mounting them began. Securing the glue for this job was a noteworthy achievement, as a war-time substitute, tried first was unsatisfactory and a requisition was required before any of the original pro¬ duct could be obtained. This shortage didn ' t seem to affect the members of the staff after they had the glue in their possession, however, for they could fre¬ quently be seen peeling the excess glue off their fingers. Even the printers must have been opposed to the publication of this volume since the firm that has done the printing for several years decided that it could not undertake the work again. (At that, we don ' t blame them.) After much searching, another printer was secured, but even then the staff did not seem to be able to keep up with the deadlines that were set. And now. to prevent you from thinking that this is just one long tale of woe, it must be said that some very enjoyable hours were spent within the walls of the staff hang-out It has even been hinted that Cupid hung out there.

THEY GIVE US THE NEWS After a year of successful pioneering in the daily newspaper field, the 1943-44 Daily Journal staff started the year with two objectives: to cover as fully as possible the daily events at Wa-Hi, and to publish a neat and attractive paper. Both aims were satisfactorily realized. For the second year, students received regularly every morning individual copies of the mimeographed publication, small but complete, with news stories, feature stories, illustrations, editorials and entertaining column material. Edited by James Esary, assisted by Wandalee Fleck, the Journal took a mili¬ tant stand on student problems. Such matters as student court punishment, school spirit, codes of conduct, and bond sales received editorial comment and publicity enough to influence many readers. One of the new accomplishments has been the encouragement of use of Journal space as a clearing-house of public opinion, especially through regular appearance of many open letters. A free lost and found service was another benefit possible because of the daily publication of the paper. The staff has continued to insist that being the official paper of the associated student body, the Journal must be produced by the students, about student activities, in a style acceptable to student readers. This has been accomplished without sacrifice of high journalistic standards, as is substantiated by the high national rating given the paper by the National Press Association. THEY GIVE US THE NEWS The Journal was honored by publication in a fall issue of School Life, a national magazine, of a full-page article explaining how the Daily Journal is produced. Production of the Journal is an all-day task every day, but duties are divided among many staff members. Typists, reporters, stencil typists, machine opera¬ tors, artists, editors, and others are at work on the Journal every period, A new award, called the Journal Service Award, was introduced this year. Consisting of a gold pin and a certificate of service, the award is presented by the adviser to staff members doing outstanding work. Journal staff members for the year included, in addition to the editors: Carol Morris, Marie Campbell, Pat Finnegan, Lois Stebner, John Stephens, LaVonne Buck, Francene Pauly, Willa Dean Ogden, Charlotte Wirth, Shirley Jean Brown, Dave Binder, Anna Marion Beck, Tom Elliott, Phyllis Robinson, Ronald Martin, Phyllis Curcio, Loreda Mele, Helen Garrett, Lee Rounsaville, Eunice Maier, Willis Logan, Charlotte Throop, Mary Lou McKillip, Lawana Mae Pieper, Ethel Mae Allen, Warren Baslee, Everett Skubinna, and Charlotte Lindberg, Mr. James Stevens is journalism teacher and Journal adviser.

Porter and Sgt, Frank H Rogers. Both indoor and outdoor instruction was given under direct army supervision Textbooks cover¬ ing all phases of infantry training and operations were provided in the form of government field manuals. Various equipment was made available by the Walla Walla army air base for training the corps in modern infantry practice. The up-to-date training proved, to a great extent, to open opportunities to students who left school to take up work in various branches of the armed forces. Motion pictures of selected war subjects became a regular item in the military training These films were very useful in showing the latest methods and equipment of regular combat use Spring found the cadets stressing physical fitness through the commando course in which games, calisthenics, etc , were used Stress was also placed on developing leadership The cadet officers received direct instruction from the staff and then were expected to administer their own companies and platoons, passing on instruction and executing maneuvers. Beginning with 1925, federal inspection of the unit here has resulted in the honor school rating being won in all except two years. „ SGT „ ADVANCED CLASS Front Row: Whitely, Fuller, Bennelt, Pelrelli, Soper Back Row: Page, Kessler, Chris llano, Gerking, Cummins.

Emphasis on programs typifying various fields of school work was the key¬ note this year, with almost every department presenting programs. Serving as announcers were Elaine Cation, Eloise Dorsey, Craig Esary, Charles Hall, Carl Hebenstreit, and Mac Michaelis. Newscasters appointed from Miss Meta Pfeiffer ' s first hour speech class prepared the weekly news features. The tech¬ nicians, Lee Ashworth, Bob Dunwoodie, Joe Gilliam; and Jack Wilson, also per¬ formed their tasks successfully. Miss Mary Yates, chairman of the radio com¬ mittee, deserves a great deal of credit for her capable supervision of the programs. Wa-Hi ' s radio opportunities offer actual experience to young Americans who will inevitably require freedom of expression in a new world of equality and peace. Here, in a small pari, is our way of demonstrating how democracy works in high school education.

The first requirement for membership is that the student shall rank in scholar¬ ship in the first third of his class. Membership is further limited as only fifteen per cent of a graduating class may be chosen, A candidate must also fulfill the qualifications for character, leadership, and service to the school. Members of the Wa-Hi chapter are chosen by a faculty committee of nine. Elections are held twice a year—in the fall and again in the spring when five per cent of the Junior class may be initiated. First semester officers were Willa Dean Ogden, president; Joyce Neel, vice president; Richard Nightingale, secretary; and Wesley Benefiel, treasurer. Of¬ ficers for the second semester were Eunice Maier, president; Elaine Cation, vice- president; Rose Marie Hubert, secretary; and Marjorie Pifer, treasurer. The group is advised by Miss Fay Hamm. Members tapped April 12 were: Hallie Arbogast, Madelyn Jameson, Dolores Loney, Harold Myers, Francene Pauly, Burton Boylan, and Wayne Fondahn, seniors; Irene Krebs, Marie Campbell, Elinore DeBoer, Betty Hopper, Lois Humph¬ rey, Charlotte Lindberg, Joyce Mulhair, Clayton Michaelis, Corleen Sporleder, and Charlotte Thro op, juniors.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK In spite of the difficulties of obtaining outside talent for their assemblies; Wa-Hi students maintained that the show must go on. Included in the enter¬ tainment which they provided for themselves were musicians, magicians, quiz¬ zes, open forums, interviews, and snappy bond rallies. The annual Christmas as¬ sembly featuring carols and other Christmas music was given by the chorus classes under the direction of Miss Keller. In a lighter vein was the program presented by the faculty. This was an hilarious glimpse into the past which revealed several hidden talents. Outstanding performers from out-of-town were a blind pianist, Miss Rose Resnick, and a clever magician, Bobo. BOOKS! BOOKS!! BOOKS!!

The team of seniors and juniors was keyed to high standards by Captain Dick Turbak ' s fiery spirit Although the team missed rugged John Stephens, Alan Berry did much to ac¬ count for Wa-Hi ' s effective aerial attack and to outflank hostile end runs. The team benefited by the good solid weight of the tackles. Jack Ablott and Bob Naimy, who with Dick Turbak and Bill Van Atta opened many holes in the opposition. Dean Gehrett the speedy fullback, and Dean Eggers, the triple- threat quarterback, the latter often named by sports writers as one of the best in the state, consistently made gains in yardage. Bob Klicker showed up as a broken-field runner. Dave Binder, the blocking halfback was one of the most valuable men on the team. The juniors gained much experience in the “43 pigskin season and offer a bright outlook for Wa-Hi in 1944. The squad was coached by Bruce “Buck Blair, an excellent coach, and a friend of the boys. Binder LeRoux Berry Turbak Anhorn Bell Walker Gehrett Klicker Woods Mr. Haase FOOTBALL The contests of the current season were better attended than those for sev¬ eral preceding years, the average attendance being estimated at two thousand. The scores, although marred by one defeat at the hands of Mac-Hi, are a pleasant reminder of the 1943 season. A return game with Mac-Hi was forfeited to the Blue Devils, 1-0.

Those few boys, including regulars Bob Kiicker and Wayne Fondahn, are determined to carry on the great tradition, and under the leadership of Coach Wheeler, face an eighteen-game schedule, meeting Lewiston, John Rogers, Yakima, Clarkston, Prescott, and Dayton. Practice games saw the following boys making the start¬ ing line-ups: Myers, Mitchell, Follett, Fouts, Bannister, Fiedler, Heath, Mclnturff, Reavis, Kiicker, Frank, Pope, Roseboro, Fondahn, Malden, Plucker, Gilliam, Ruff, Decker, and Gump.

BASEBALL INTRAMURALS The intramural sports of Wa-Hi have provided a lot of fun and enjoy¬ ment for the boys and girls who were unable to take part in the big league sports. The main sports played are, for the boys, basketball, football, track, ping-pong, volleyball, and softball; for the girls, volleyball, basketball, ping- pong, badminton, and tennis. Girls ' teams are organized by homerooms and combinations of homerooms while the boys ' homerooms have formed teams known as Panthers, Daredevils, Eagles, etc. Much keen competition has arisen between these groups. Mrs. Houghton was in charge of the girls ' intramurals while the boys were supervised by Mr. Clark and student manager, Bob McQueen. BADMINTON CHAMPS Front Row: Altergoti, Dodd, Page.
