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.
