T r . The Editors ... luanita Sauer and Staff .. ■ leanne Ebbert ... Shirley Kramer present with pride ... ' . , V ' • - A . L , f , ■ fr TWi - V dl To our fellow workers and teachers who have contributed to the high standing and spirit of our school Among the high school ' s traditions that go back into the years and never seem to become out-moded is the Annual It seems to have new charm for each year and is always re¬ tained, regardless of other changes. It ' s attraction lies in its pictures, of course. We all value the photograph of a friend, — so in this volume we have a rich treasury of friends. If is an animated record of a year that you will never be privileged to live over again. The time his gone quickly, as all happy years go. But you can keep this volume as an interesting re¬ minder which will increase in worth as the years pass. May the year just ending have been such that for all of you the memories revived by this Royal Blue will be wholly pleasant and satisfying! W. A. LACEY This book is evidence of your ac¬ tivities and accomplishments for the year. The values resulting to you by virtue of your participation should assist you in meeting the challenge and accepting the responsibilities which will be yours after graduation. You, as high school students, are living in school the counterpart of the places you will take in adult life— after you graduate. In short, you have not been learning to do, but you have been doing. I hope that you will contribute your services and abilities as gener¬ ously in your community life as you have in your school life, for thus are free institutions and the Democratic way of life perpetuated May I wish all students and faculty members and particularly the Class of 1947, the fullest measure of suc¬ cess and happiness in the days ahead.

Don Klicker, Treasurer STUDENT GOVERNMENT Under the able leadership of Bob Heath, president; Royce Noland, vice-president; Ann Harold, secretary; and Don Klicker, treasurer; the Wa-Hi Student Body saw a successful year in 1947. A.S.B. President, Bob Heath, had on his cabinet: Fire Chief, Ed Martin; Shuffle Shop, Loyd Mahan; Stage, John Kolars; Inter-School Relations, Jeanne Ebbert; Organizations, Barbara Koenig; Finance, Ralph Corkrum; Chief Justice, Clyde Horner; Hallways, Bill Couch; Assemb¬ lies, Craig Esary; Buildings and Grounds, Norman Brunton. Cabinet meetings were held throughout the year with Mr. Jones to discuss improvement of the different departments. One of the bigger projects taken on was the raising of money for new band uniforms; several concerts and benefits were given. The tennis court which was started ' ast year, was completed during the course of the year. A new club for teen-agers called the Shuffle Shop, was organized and managed by the Commissioner Loyd Mahan and advisor Miss Alice Miles, to replace the old Wa-Hive. The Shuffle Shop was run by the various school clubs; also this year out-of-school clubs were were allowed to participate in the running of the club. Its management has been taken care of so well that the national representative of the Y.W.CA, commended the club saying it was one of the few well-run student managed clubs she had seen. A canvas of the city for the Community Chest Drive was made by the students. The town was divided into various sections which two or more students covered, A Publicity Commissioner was added t o the President ' s cabinet for the purpose of get¬ ting more recognition in the high school paper and the local town newspaper. The Student Book Store, selling school supplies, had an excellent year with a good profit showing at the end of school. The Student Court, headed by Chief Justice, Clyde Horner, started a new system this year. Instead of is¬ suing demerits to offenders as a suf¬ ficient punishment to a violation of rules, the Court attempted to reason with the students and help to prevent further misdemeanors by the same persons. For the first time students were ad¬ mitted to the Senior play and the all¬ school play on student body tickets at afternoon performances. The last project of the year was the Student Independence Day held on April 25th. The Senior class elec¬ ted Dick Mollette, as Principal; John Fouts, Attendance Officer; Riney Boewer, Dean of Boys; and Charlene Haupt, Dean of Girls. Each class elec¬ ted its own teacher for the day. Hornet, Corkrum, Esary, Harold, Brunlon, Ebbert, Koenig, Noland, Marlin, Couch, Mahan, Heaih.

The Wa-Hi Student Body worked ably under their leaders and all the projects and events participated in proved successful. The officers want to wish that the leaders for next year and the years to come may have the continued loyal support of the student body Legislative Assembly — first and second semesters i ALICE ADACHI CAROL BRUCE Secretary President GIRLS ' FEDERATION The year of 1946-47 has proven to be a very successful one for the Wa-Hi Girls ' Federa¬ tion. All of the girls were aware of the splendid work of the leaders of this organization. A new dean of girls, Mrs. Grace Houghton, took over this year. We owe much of our success to her and her co-operation with the girls who lead the group. The activities of the Federation were many. This year was especially outstanding for its co-operation with the Boys ' Federation. Many plans for school improvement were made, includ¬ ing the renovation of the Girls ' Lounge, with the sincere hope that the girls of next year would be able to complete them. Socially, the year 1946-47 has been successful. Leading the list of social events were the Senior Tea, honoring all Senior girls and their mothers, and the Sock Hop, which was a new idea at Wa-Hi given in co-operation with the boys 1 group. One of the affairs that attracted a lot of interest from the newer girls at school was the party for all transfers each semester. At these parties the new students became better acquainted with the Wa-Hi girls. To every mem¬ ber of the feminine population of Wa-Hi, the annual Federation costume party was an event not be missed. The party featured comic strip character as its theme. The leaders of the Federation deserve a, vote of approval for the splendid job they have done. The officers were: Carol Bruce, president; Jane Cauvel, vice-president; Alice Adachi, sec¬ retary; and Juanita Sauer, treasurer. 4 JUANITA SAUER Treasurer JANE CAUVEL Vice ' Pres idem Row 1; Copeland, Hayes, Board, Bruce, Ross, Buerstalte.

The Boys ' Federation, working with the Girls ' Federation, presented the first frolic of the year to welcome the Freshmen and transfers to Wa- Hi The Boys ' and Girls ' Federation also worked together on sponsoring dancing classes to cre¬ ate more interest in dancing. At the Senior assembly, clothing was collected for the impoverished people of Europe The Boys ' Federation took over the responsibility of packing the clothing and seeing to it that the clothing received was sent to Europe. Six boxes were sent to Italy and twenty-two boxes were sent to Greece by Walla Walla residents. Boys ' assemblies were held each month The veterans at Wa-Hi were introduced in the first assembly and were questioned as to how they liked Wa-Hi. The Seniors and Juniors gave an assembly displaying school talent. Films as well as music were used for some of the assemblies A clean-up campaign was carried out by the Boys ' Federation for two weeks Each home¬ room period, four homerooms cleaned up the grounds. To carry out a successful intramural program is one of the main duties of the Boys ' Fed¬ eration. The intramural manager this year was Stanley Zier. His job was to plan games and give notice as to when they were to be played At the end of the year the manager of intramurals presented a cup to the team which has earned the most points. It was won this year by the Redskins, a Senior team Row I—Cowles, Posey, Duckworth, Renner, Jessuph, Kerr, Baxter, KaJo, Millard.

However, the Class of r 47 will not be quickly forgotten, because this class has maintained its high standards for four years. Elected to lead the class dur¬ ing the first semester were Val Jensen, President; Ralph Cork- rum, Vice-President; Norman Brunton, Secretary - Treasurer, The leaders for the second se¬ mester were Jim Kerr, President; Lowell Richmond, Vice-Presi¬ dent; Janell Haines, Secretary- Treasurer. Miss Little was the class advisor. The senior play, ' Dear Ruth ' 1 was produced by the class last fall. The seniors also ably pro¬ duced their assembly called Senior Scampers ' The tradi¬ tional sneak was held at Bing¬ ham Springs in April. The climax for this class came with Commencement held on May 28 and Baccalaureate, the preceding Sunday. Barbara Ber- ney and Marcia McGifford were Valedictorian and Salutatorian, respectively.

ActUtiti l JEANNE EBBERT Co-Editor 4 JUANITA SAUER Picture Editor SHIRLEY KRAMER Co ' Editor ROYAL BLUE On September 3, the 1947 Royal Blue Staff met in room 114- The original staff consisted of seven seniors, Jeanne Ebbert Shirley Kramer, Juanita Sauer, Genevieve Livengood, Loma Mahan, Norma Jean Buchanan, Barbara Bemey, and Heney Lou Lowman. Soon four juniors, Chloe Hart, Shirley Wilson, George Anderson, and Harriette Robinson joined the staff The addition of Shirley Stewart and Dick Ivester, both freshmen, at the beginning of the second semester brought the staff membership up to its present total of fourteen The sales staff under the direction of the business manager, Loma Mahan, got the annual off to a good start by having 3 extensive sales campaigns during which they sold 780 annuals; this topped last year ' s record sale by 30 copies The work on the 1947 Royal Blue began early with co-editors, Jeanne Ebbert, Juanita Sauer, and Shirley Kramer, and the assistance of the rest of the staff, planning the general lay¬ out of the dummy. This year s book features full page pictures and Bobby Soxers cartoons for introduc¬ tion and division pages. Permission for the use of these cartoons was obtained from their cre¬ ator, Marty Links. As another special feature, appropriate lay-outs for the sports pages were drawn by the staff artist, Harriette Robinson. ROYAL BLUE SALES STAFF Front Row—Sauer, Cannon, E bbert, Bemey, Lowman, Robinson, Bachmann. Back Row—Anderson, McGifford, Wilson, Mahan, Miller, Kramer, Hart. GENEVIEVE LIVENGOOD Copy Editor MR. REYNOLDS Advisor LORNA MAHAN Business Manager The staff had planned on having an original color scheme for the 1947 Royal Blue. How¬ ever due to the greatly increased cost of the covers and a misunderstanding with the cover company, the annual is appearing in its traditional blue cover. Juanita Sauer took over the hard task of arranging for the senior pictures. Due to her fine work, most of these pictures were taken by Christmas. The senior pictures were pasted and sent to the engravers early in February. From that time on, the whole staff was busy pasting pictures, and writing copy and identifications. Genevieve Livengood was appointed copy editor, at the beginning of the year, but Norma Jean Bachmann took over her duties later. The positions on the staff were as follow: co-editors, Jeanne Ebbert, Shirley Kramer, and Juanita Sauer; business manager, Loma Mahan, copy editor, Norma Jean Bachmann; copy as¬ sistants, Genevieve Livengood, and Shirley Wilson; secretary, Barbara Berney; make-up, Chloe Hart, Shirley Stewart, and George Anderson; photographers, Dick Ivester and Honey Lou Low- man; artist, Harrietts Robinson. The staff enjoyed producing the 1947 Royal Blue and hopes that this annual will hold interest and happy memories for everyone of you now and in the years to come. WA-HI DAILY JOURNAL The hum of the mighty presses . . . Yes, ag ain this year, the Wa-Hi Daily Journal was issued to the students of Wa Hi. Taking over the editor ' s duties in the fall was Bebe Wiley who was assisted by Marilee Hayes, associate editor; Yvonne Johnston, news editor; Bill Couch, sports editor; and Wilma Boehmen feature editor. Making the paper interesting by feature writing were Tianne Paris and Betiie Kennedy, who completed the feature staff. Assistants of the news staff were Winnie Noble, Mary Lu Dav¬ is, and Jeanne Graver. The art work was handled by Glen White! y, Harriette Robinson and Jeanne Johnston. The job of mimeographing the papers was done by Bud Hamilton and Bob Hayes. The typing department, one of the most essential, was made up of Elinor Klemz, Joyce Oatt, Ann Harold, Elaine Frank, Leona Filan, John Huntsman and Maxine McDowell Distribu¬ tors were Velma Ingalls and Joan Lee Ebersole. After a hard semester of working with a small staff, coping with the paper shortage, and the usual publication dificulties, the editors put their heads together and decided to make co- editors in each department. The results were—Bebe Wiley and Marilee Hayes, co-editors; Yvonne Johnston and Joanne Graver, co-news editors; Bettie Kennedy and Wilma Boehmer, co-feature editors; and Bill Couch remained sports editor. Taking in new members from the Journalism class helped the Journal to become more interesting, efficient and up-to-the-minute. Front Row: Robinson, Wiley, Paris, Boehmer, Ingalls, Harold, Ebersole, Back Row: Couch, While ley, Graver, Frank, Johnston, Davis, McDowell, Huntsman, Filan, Hayes. BILL COUCH Sporls Editor miss McGovern Advisor YVONNE JOHNSTON News Editor Those coming from the class were: Elaine Klundt, Mona Buchanan, Jean Newman, Luth¬ er Kroenk, Dick Garver, Louise Smith, Yvonne Flikke, Murial Anderson, Patty Clayton, Cieatis Locaii, Mama White, Marian Finnegan, Margaret Jensen, Barbara Swegle, Frances Sloan, Ralph Corkrum, Fern Cochran, and Joan Lee Ebersole. Others new on the staff were Bill Hill, boxing reporter; Norman Brunton and Shirley Lane, typists. At mid-year, the Journals were placed at central points in the building each morning for easy pick-up. Altogether, the year has been a very successful one, with many improvements being made in the routine of the Journal For the first time in many years the Journal was the spons¬ or of a writing contest in which Janet Sherwood won the short story prize. Lee Chamberlain and Beverly Marcy, the poetry prize, and Ted Bryant, the cartooning award. It is hoped that the paper has served its pur pose this year, and that the energetic 1947 staff, full of vim, vigor, and journalism, will enter into a life using some of their Journal exper¬ ience, The staff wishes to thank Miss McGovern, the students and the faculty for making 1946-47 a successful year of who, what, when, where, why, and howl MUSIC DEPARTMENT The Wa-Hi Vocal Department has had an extremely busy and successful season this school year. Particularly popular was a Double Mixed Quartet which was just organized this year This organization consisted of four girls and four boys. Another new group, a Girls ' Octet, was recently formed also. The students in these two groups were all upper classmen. The Freshmen girls had a very fine Sextet. They are sure to go far in the rest of their high school career. All these groups, after diligent work, rated superior in the Spring Festival this year. Much Christmas music was furnished for various clubs and other town organizations by the high school choral department. All groups were very well received. After the Christmas season was over, the groups began work immediately on Spring Concert music for March 12. Many long and difficult hours were spent preparing the numbers for this event. The begin¬ ning Boys ' Glee, the Advanced Girls ' Glee, the Choir, and all the small ensembles participated in the Spring Concert. The program was well received with a good audience in attendance. From this point on, the time was spent in polishing the groups up for the competitive Spring Music Festival on April 18 and 19, Miss Griewe was especially busy as she was sec¬ retary-treasurer of the organization this year. Proof of her good work may be seen in the number of superior ratings that the judges awarded Wa-Hi. This Festival drew 19 surrounding schools for the two day meet which ended in a grand evening performance of all the musicians combined. The band, under the direction of Edward Krenz, had a successful year with more than 90 performances. Several small ensembles were organized this year, such as, Trumpet Trio, Brass Sextet, Clarinet Quartet and Saxaphone Quartet. Members of the band accompanied the football team to Moscow, and also, the basket¬ ball team to Wenatchee. The whole band traveled to Umatilla for the McNary Dam celebra¬ tion. In the spring, the band members presented a concert for the benefit of their uniforms. They also presented a program for the student body which was broadcasted over KUJ. Performances at Baccalaureate and Commencement ended the busy year for both the vocal department and the instrumental department. N.H.S. Bachmann, Bemey, A. Blake, B. Blake, Bruce, Calion Cork rum.

However, in gen¬ eral—the programs put on by the various organizations have been excellent. Pay assemblies provided many fine attractions. The Melody Maids, who gave a won¬ derful program of violin melodies, could be classed as one of the most outstanding professional performances seen at Wa-Hi in a long time. The Mississippians, a male quartet, also gave an exceptional program, consisting mostly of Negro spirituals. Another interesting program was provided by the Christians, who talked about and showed pictures of their boat trip down HelTs Canyon of the upper Snake River, An unusual pay assembly featured cartoonist Bob Woods, who entertained the students with colored chalk sketches as he talked. Kate Pentzer Stokes, a dramatic actress, was also on the assembly schedule for the year. She presented some very interesting sketches on modern American life. The club assemblies presented a great variety of programs. The Ski Club presented a program of ski films on Sun Valley, Idaho, and Mr. Harley Allen spoke on skiing, A very inter¬ esting hill billy program was put on by the T.A.T ' s. Soromia Club presented the Soromia Slum- berettes, a club talent assembly, A high spot of the assembly year was the King for a Day assembly presented by the Girls ' Sports Club, when John Sullivan was chosen king to reign over the Sadie Hawkins Dance. There were assemblies with a serious side too. The Hi-Y conducted their annual Good Friday service, consisting of the reading of appropriate passages from the Bible and inspiration¬ al musical numbers. The two N.H.S. tapping assemblies also provided a great deal of interest— especially among the juniors and seniors. Only the Juniors and Seniors presented class assemblies this year. The Senior assembly was entitled Hellzapoppin ' and consisted of senior talent. During the Christmas season, everything suffered a set-back due to the coal shortage, assemblies included. However, with a little crowding here and there many of the cancelled programs were made up. Yes, it has been a year filled with assemblies. Some sort of record was made when dur¬ ing one week there were four assemblies held. With this school year behind, it will give many people some satisfaction to look back and say, ' T remember that or I took part in that assembly.

Rosemary Board Sharon Jessup Kenny Knox WA-HI YELL STAFF An active, high-spirited yell staff has kept Wa-Hi on its toes during the sports season this year. Composed of the yell queen Sharon Jessup, Kenny Knox, and Rosemary Board, the squad has brought many new features to Wa-Hi. Outstanding, perhaps, was the introduction of a new fight song during the basketball season. This has been received with wide approval by the students. Fifteen new and peppy yells were also presented by the yell staff. Nine-year-old Jimmy Jessup donned a Blue Devil costume to become the Wa-Hi Blue- Devils ' mascot. He was always on hand to boost school spirit at games. At the Homecoming game with Boise, Walla Walla witnessed a fine parade with four marching bands and fine floats. The Girls ' Sports Club came out with the first prize for the best float. All this and much more was sponsored by our energetic yell staff. At the Northeastern Washington Student Leaders Conference in Clarkston, our yell squad was honored by being appointed head of the yell staff division. During the basketball season a very successful pep assembly was broadcast over sta¬ tion KUJ in order to urge attendance at the Wa-Hi-St. Pats basketball game. The yell team de¬ serves a lot of credit for organizing and putting on such a successful program. With the arrival of spring and baseball season, Dickie Weaver became Wa-Hi ' s tumb ' ing mascot, providing lively entertainment for the spectators. The yell squad also managed to pro¬ vide transportation for students to and from the baseball games. Before the Yakima-Wa-Hi game, a torchlight parade was climaxed by the burning of a huge dummy pirate at Borleske Stadium, This was another smart twist made by the yell staff to encourage more interest in the games. Regular pep assemblies were held before nearly every important sports event. This all takes a lot of work on the part of the yell squad. We are proud to claim one of the best yell teams in this area Next year Wa-Hi will really miss its capable yell queen, Sharon Jessup, but we will have a well-trained king and queen to carry on. We want to thank Sharon Jessup, Rosemary Board, and Kenny Knox for the long and diligent work they did in the past school year. FOOTBALL KLUMB, DELLINGER The 1946 football season was one of 10 games, 5 of which were played at home The season saw several lettermen returning, on which, because of the short time before the first game, Coach Jerry Dellinger based his team. The season ' s first game was with Mac-Hi, a tra¬ ditional rival. The first win of the year was from Richland, when Wa-Hi took the hard way to win 7 to 0 at the Bomber s Bowl The only other win of the year was from Dayton when a long pass with a completed try for the extra point made it a 7 to 6 victory. Mid-season games were dogged by the lack of big back field men but Wa-Hi came forth with the best game of the year for the local fans when they outplayed Boise for a 19 to 6 loss The last game of the season was with Yakima, when the Devils played another great game but were defeated 14 to 0 Coach Dellinger stated about these two games, My boys can walk down the street and hold their heads up ' The team was strong at the tackles with Gene Ablott and Bob Deffenbaugh filling the positions. Jim Smith and Gene Lyons were two strong guards who started often, with Jerry Jesse also seeing much action Norman Brunton proved to be the strong man at the end po¬ sition with Don Palmer, Don Heimbigner, and Art Fulkerson scrapping for the other end. Bill Fowler, a junior, who will return next year, played a full 60 minutes of nearly every game, never making a bad pass all season and provin g to be a tower of defense The quarterback job was handled by senior Royce Noland and Harold Dunham, a sophomore. Wa-Hi had more re¬ serves at half-back than at any other position, although all were of small build. Vernon Jones and John Baxter served on the starting line-up most of the time, but Jim Kerr and Kenny Oliver were also called into several games. Bill Couch, a senior, furnished the kicking power and missed only one try for an extra point all season. John Baxter did a great job, making most of the points during the season. Many of the long runs were done by John Baxter, Royce Noland, and Vernon Jones, Early in the season, Wa-Hi lost Ted Mein hart, who was a prominent back. Later, because of injuries they also lost Merril Myers, who was ably filling Meinhart ' s shoes. These boys were the heaviest on the team, and the loss was sorely felt. Lowell Richmond, who filled the job very well, played many games with an injured knee. Coach Jerry Dellinger worked hard with the boys and never lost faith no matter what the out-come of the game. In the last two games he drew out of the boys the qualities that makes real football teams and made the team of 1946 one of which Wa-Hi can be proud. ’Wa-Hi 7 Mac-Hi 20 Wa-Hi 0 Clarkston 20 ‘Wa-Hi 0 Pasco 12 Wa-Hi 2 Moscow 6 Wa-Hi W Richland 0 Wa-Hi 0 Lewiston 19 Wa-Hi 0 Wenatchee 20 Wa-Hi 6 Boise 19 Wa-Hi Home Games yi Dayton 6 Wa-Hi 0 Yakima 14 BASKETBALL Making up in great fighting spirit what they lacked in height, the Wa-Hi basketball team ended the 1946-47 season with 12 victories and 8 defeats. The Blue and White were led for the second year by Coach Jerry Delinger, University of Idaho graduate. Fans of the Blue Devils will well remember the closing drives which brought so many victories out of the fire and the considerable games which were lost by one and two point margins. Familiar faces on the court were lanky Russ Mead and Art Fulkerson, the two tallest members, who played the center and forward positions, and the three diminiutive back court players Ed Martin, Bill Couch, and Don McMann. Dwight Pool, Bob Heath, and Harold Deck were capable reserves who saw plenty of ac¬ tion, as were Bob Andrews and Bud Kight, a sophomore and a junior who are fine prospects in the years to come. The team was led in scoring by Don McMann with 227 points. The remaining top five were evenly divided with Mead tallying 172, Couch with 147, Fulkerson accounting for 123, Martin with 119 and Pool making 73 points. Wa-Hi fared very well at most of the tournaments during the season. At the Moscow tournament, the team was defeated by Colfax, but won from Potlatch and Moscow. At the Walla Walla Round Robin, the Blue Devils won from Wenatchee, but lost to Richland by two points. At the District Tournament, Wa-Hi was defeated in their first game by Wenatchee, but won in their second game from Pullman.

There were about fifty boys who turned out for the manly art of self defense, and the team participated in one all-school smoker, twelve inter-school smokers, a district tournament, and the state tournament. Although boxing gave its share of the student body ticket money to the band uni form fund, it came out at the end of the year with a sizeable balance. For the first time in many years Wa-Hi played host to the district tournament, Pomeroy, Clarkston, Colfax, and Wa-Hi were all out to win the trophy that Wa-Hi offered. Wa-Hi was represented in the tournament by Gary Erwin at 110 pounds, Howard Walker at 115 pounds. Bill Hill at 121 pounds, Lowell Meyers at 127 pounds, Kenny Oliver at 133 pounds, Jimm Kerr at 140 pounds, Alan Klein at 147 pounds, Kenny Quesenberry at 155 pounds, Gene Lyons at 175 pounds, and Earl French in the heavyweight class. Jim Kerr, Kenny Quesenberry, Gene Lyons, and Earl French won the district titles for Wa-Hi in their weights. Clarkston won the tournament and Wa-Hi placed second. Howard Walker, Kenny Baird, Alan Klein, Kenny Quesenberry, and Gene Lyons made the trip to Pullman for the State Invitational Boxing Tournament, Walker was eliminated in the preliminaries, Klein in the semi-finals, and Baird and Lyons lost in the finals. Quesenberry s fight was called no contest because of injuries he received. Wa-Hi placed sixth in the State Tournament Although the team did not show up too well in tournaments, we had a very good season, and the fact that boxing gave fifty boys a good outside activity and an outlet for their energy, makes it a good season in itself. The squad loses only three seniors this year, making the future a bright one for them.

The interest at the beginning of the season was very good. Seven lettermen returned to add to the team ' s capability. With the help of these men, Wa-Hi had one of the best teams in the area. The mound duty caused the greatest trouble at the beginning of the season. There were no lettermen returning to fill that vacancy this year. A round robin of five men was very suc¬ cessfully used, however, Jim Irby, Frank Laufer, Jim Stiller, Dick Fleck, and John Fouts com¬ piled the pitching staff. Clyde Horner returned to fill the catcher ' s position. He was assisted by Dick Neher, and Jerry Jessee John Fouts and Russ Mead were on the first base throughout the year. Working on sec¬ ond base was Dwight Pool. Frank Laufer and Bud Kight held the short stop position together. Third base was occupied by Jim Irby and Jim Stiller. Art Fulkerson, Don Klicker, and Dick Bold- man returned from last year to cover the outfield, Ralph Schreiber and Adolph Zeller assisted in that position. The Blue Devils had a good start by taking an overwhelming 18-1 victory over Pomeroy in the first game of the season. They did equally as well in most of their other games this season The team progressed very well under Coach Emigh, and he has done a fine job. Wa-Hi is truly proud of a fine 1947 baseball team Emigh, Wheeler, Haase TRACK The Wa-Hi thinclads under the exper¬ ienced coaching of Albert Haase entered the ' 47 track season with high hopes and much enthusiasm. Although severa 1 out¬ standing trackmen were lost through grad¬ uation, a gratifying number of letiermen and promising first year men turned out. The season opened with the Hill Relays in Portland. Later the annual Mac-Hi Car¬ nival of Speed and the A. A. U, meet at Pullman were participated in. A Wa-Hi relay team composed of John Baxter, Don Palmer, Harold Deck, and Cornell Jeffs accomplished the enviable feat of setting a new record for the mi ' e relay in the Hill Relays. The highlight of the season was the ”WaHi Invitational Relays” in which ten schools took part. Dual meets were held with John Rogers and Yakima; there also was a triangular meet with Lewiston and Clarkston. Wa-Hi teams were entered in both the district and state meets with a squad going to Spokane for the Central Valley Relays. The outlook for next season is especially bright since a large number ol freshmen have gained valuable experience during the year. The team was ably represented in all events by the following boys: 100 yard dash, James Kato, Don Millard, Bob Linderman; 220 yard dash, Don Palmer, Don Millard, James Kato; 440 yard dash, John Baxter, Harold Deck, Don Heimbinger; Vi mile run, Bill Couch, Royce No¬ land; mite run, Harold Deck, Stan Wiley, Bob Burkhart; 880 yard relay, Don Palmer, Don Mil¬ lard, James Kato, John Baxter; high hurdles, John Doores, Bob Tompkins, Cornell Jeffs; low hur¬ dles, Bill Couch, John Doores, Royce Noland, Cornell Jeffs; high jump, Frank Taylor, Bill Erd- man, Dennis Fahey; broad jump, Norman Brunton, Frank Taylor; pole vault, Bill McCaw. Bob Deffenbaugh, Mark McDermott, and Dennis Fahey all participated in the shotput, discus and javelin throw. GIRLS ' SPORTS Participation in intramural girls sports has been unusually enthusiastic this past year, particularly in individual activities such as badminton and table tennis. Winners of the table tennis tournament were: Betty Brooks, first; Dorothy Griffin, second; and Carol Johns, third. Top players in the badminton tournament were Clara Huie, Norene McNeeley and Lucy Reihl. Team sports in which tournaments were held were volleyball, basketball, and softball. Sports managers have been: Volleyball, Jane Cauvel; Badminton, Annie Huie; Basketball, Dorothy Griffin; Softball, Lois Page; and Tennis, Joyce Gaft, Sophomore and senior teams also played in the basketball game which formed part of the annual physical education demonstration on February 26. The fall and winter season culminated in spirited speedbal! and basketball games played with St. Paul ' s School. Miss Kirk ' s homeroom, 201, has been the proud possessor of the Girls Intramural Sports plaque during the school year 1946-1947. It is awarded each May to the homeroom winning the most points throughout the yean Sponsored by the Girls ' Sports Club, a Girls ' Athletic Association was organized this year to provide for a more democratic administration of the girls ' athletics and to add further interest in sports. Officers elected were: Joyce Oatt, president; Dorothy Griffin, vice-president; Barbara Danielson, secretary; and Shirley Reihl, treasurer. He wears his father ' s clothes well, doesn ' t he? THE ROYAL BLUE BALL Friday night, November 1, was an eve¬ ning to be long remembered by Rosemary Board and Norman Graver. It was the eve¬ ning of the dreamy Royal Blue Ball with all those handsome lads and gorgeous gals. We all know that the Ball is becoming a tradition at Wa-Hi climaxing the sale of an¬ nuals in the fall. It was sponsored this year by the Soromia Club, which by the way, did an excellent job of decorating and planning. It was truly a memorable evening for everyone present. With the music of Dick Ellis ' s orchestra and Zedell Jackson ' s play¬ ing, it was really super. At 10:45 P.M. radiant Rosemary was crowned Queen of the Royal Blue Ball. Beverly Pearson, Sharon Jessup, and Marian Buersiatte were her princesses. After the crowning, there was a grand march with approximately fifty couples present. Jeanne Ebbert acted as mistress of ceremon¬ ies. This dance was put on under many dif¬ ficulties, mainly due to the fact that the foot¬ ball boys were out of town. But even with all these troubles, it was one of the best dances of the year. SHUFFLE SHOP The birth of the Shuffle Shop dates as far back as July, 1946, but then it was only a mental picture of hard work, and expensive renovations. With the constant help of the Wa-Hi student body officers and parents of teen-agers, plans were formulated for the organization and operation of the new teen-age center which was to replace the Wa-Hive. The Elks Lodge underwrote all expenses for renovation and equipment amounting to $4,000 From this point on the Shuffle Shop has paid its own bills, entertaining more than six hundred guests. With the apointment of Loyd Mahan as Commissioner and his four rep¬ resentatives who have assisted him; Honey Lou Lowman, Betty Jones, Tom Kerr, and Jim Casper, the Shuffle Shop was placed in excellent and consci¬ entious hands. They were assisted throughout the year by the grateful help of Miss Alice Miles, their advisor. The Shuffle Shop is closing its season by sending two delegates to the Youth Conference in Grinnell, Iowa, June 20-26, and four delegates to the Sea- beck Conference, August 26-Sept 2 This year the Senior class of Walla Walla High School presented Dear Ruth , a comedy by Norman Krasna. It was directed by Marshall Alexander and given Thursday afternoon, No¬ vember 15, for the Wa-Hi students. On Friday evening it was presented for the public. The scene of the play takes place in the living room of the Wilkins family. The cast was as follows: Mrs Edith Wilkins, Donna Woodhall; Judge Harry Wilkins, Bill Ward; Ruth Wilkins, Marcia McGifford; and Miriam Wilkins, Ozella Johnson. Then there is the maid, Dora, portrayed by Yvonne Johnston. Other characters are: Lt. William Seawright, Val Jensen; It, Seawright r s sister, Barbara Swegle; Albert Kummer, Ralph Ruff; Sgt. Chuck Vincent, Ramon Ross; and Harold Klobber- meyer, Craig Esary. The play was well received by everyone, and many chuckles were heard. Even though, the actors and actresses were amateurs, they did very well. For this we should thank Mr. Alex¬ ander for his patience and hard work in directing Dear Ruth . We should also commend the orchestra and especially their director, Mr. Krenz, who supplied the music before and between acts. Everyone enjoyed the melodius harmony of the Wa-Hi orchestra. The production staff should not be forgotten as the play could not have been put on with¬ out them. So let ' s thank the director, the cast, the orchestra and Mr. Krenz, and the production staff, whose efforts made Dear Ruth a real success. SENIOR PLAY ALL-SCHOOL PLAY Could you tell the truth for 24 hours? Well, Bob Bennett (Richard Mollette) did in the all-school play; ' Nothing But The Truth directed by Marshall Alexander and presented March 27, 28, and 29th. Bob Bennett had plenty ol trouble winning $20,000 for his fiance, Gwen Ralston, played by Jean Gilpatrick while Tianne Paris as Mrs. Ralston helped complicate the matter. Arlene Langton and Joan Lee Ebersole appeared as the show girls. Others in the cast were Ralph Ruff, as E. M. Ralston, who was responsible for the bet made by the leading man and his business associates: Dick Donnelly (Craig Esary) and Clarence Van Deusen (Alan Barer). Bill Ward add¬ ed much to the play with his characterization of Bishop Doran. Marcia McGifford played the part of the rich, spoiled socialite, Ethel Clark, while Martha, the maid, was Dianne Gilbertson. The play was given exclusively for the student body Friday afternoon, while on Friday and Saturday nights, it was presented to the public. With Bill Ward ' s 111, Ill tweak his nose and Ralph Ruff ' s Hush! My good man to add to many of the laughs, the play proved itself another success for our dramatic teacher Mar¬ shall Alexander and his cast. WA-HILITES Every Tuesday evening at eight o ' clock is the code for all listeners of the Wa-Hiliies Program. This program is written and presented by the Advanced Speech Class under the direction of Marshall Alexander. Those who helped to make this program possible the first semester were Ozella John¬ son, Yvonne Johnston, Etta Boldman, Janell Haines, Donna Woodhall, Bonnie Harrah, Joan Fitzgerald, Bebe Wiley, Janet Sherwood, Bob Heath, Val Jensen, Tom Kearns, and Ralph Ruff. Those who were added the second semester were Betty Kennedy, Phil Griffiths, Shirley Wilson, Richard Mollette, and Jim Kerr. A skit, Grandma Tells a Story was given in December when the sale of Tuberculosis seals was being carried on. This play was presented over KWWB. The whole class worked in co-operation with the police and several other higher offic¬ ials of the city on the Juvenile Delinquency forums, which were presented on both KUJ and KWWB. The Wa-Hilites have interviewed many teachers and students. Some of them were Mr. Meiners, instructor in safety-driving, Miss Opal Griewe, Mr. Jones, and several students who were outstanding in different activities. Also they interviewed Loyd Mahan, commissioner, and Miss Miles, both of the Shuffle Shop. The program usually consists of news-flashes, a feature, a sports commentary and a musical number. Montgomery Plotnack, who was created by the class, has been an outstanding feature, as he learned to write poetry, fumed out for baseball and worked on the daily paper, under the ever-watchful eye of dominant Ed Moore, The program has been a lot of fun as well as a lot of work for the class to present.
