Walla Walla High School - Royal Blue Yearbook (Walla Walla, WA)

Text from Pages 1 - 116 of the 1949 volume:

7a t6e Students TVatla ' H aibz ' ZtCyA School ' Walla ' Walla, ' WaA utytoH,.. proudly presented by O To the graduates and friends of Walia Walla High School, who so loyally sup¬ port it, we, the students of Wa-Hi, gratefully dedicate this 1949 Royal Blue. All things may be either good or bad: ice cream, a play, or a book. Memories are no exceptions, they must be pi easant or unpleasant. The activities end accomp¬ lishments of the student body this year have been such as to provide pleasant memories in the years to come— especially for those who have hod a part m the out¬ standing achievements described In this volume. In ath¬ letics, dramatics, music, the development of student government and in the phases of the extra-curricular program, we have enjoyed unusual success. May particularly commend the members of the Senior class and assure them that my memories of them individually and collectively will be most pleasant. This Annual is the product of a student activity that deserves the support of every member of the school. In the years to come you, as a graduate of the school, will forget the organizations, the personalities, and the in¬ cidents connected with your years here unless you have this little book to refresh your memory. The farther away you get from your school experiences the more the Annual will mean to you. Keep It at hand. It will be a source of constant enjoyment. We hope that you will remember Wa-Hi—with pride and affection. The school is what you and thousands of others, have made it. It is a community within a city, a youth-state, active, hopeful, sound, and happy. Those leaving it—after four years, that is —are better citizens of the U. 5, than they otherwise would be. Boost for the old school, now and later. Knockers are usually poor builders. Loyalty to a good cause bene¬ fits both parties, W, A. LACEY SUPERINTENDENT ARTHUR D, JONES PRINCIPAL FACULTY Again this year, the faculty, which forms the backbone of all progress and activity at Wa- Ht, has had an extremely active year. Serving as class advisers, club advisers, and on faculty com¬ mittees occupies thier spare time of which teachers have such a small amount. Class advisers for the past year have been: Freshman—Pete Hansen: Sophomore—Dollie Corn; Junior—Myrtle Falk; and Senior—Mr, Jones, The remaining faculty members are divided into various faculty committees the chairmen of which are: Discipline—Ralph Emigh; Gate—Paul Reed; National Honor Society—Juliana Draper; Guidance’—Glenn Ledbetter; Flower—Lillian Lindner; So¬ cial Affairs—Grace Houghton; Visual Education—Alice Kenyon: and Publicity—Florence McGovern, With the addition of four new members, the teaching staff has grown to forty-five. Miss Nell Bardwel! and Mrs. Georgia May Gallivan are the new members of the English department. Mr, Conrad Stoehr has joined the foreign language department and as a result, French has been added to the curriculum. Mimeographing has been extended from a one semester to a full year course, Charles McBride has become an assistant coach and a member of the history department. Your secretary, Mr. Reed?

Bob Burk¬ hart, the student body activities and business for the year were guided to a very successful conclusion To help In maintaining and promoting student ac¬ tivities the President chose the following commissioners: Joan Lee Robinson, assemblies; John Cunnlngton, hall¬ ways; Bob Hayes, buildings and grounds; Bob Williams, Shuffle Shop; Dick Beck, fire chief; Myron Skublnna, chief justice; LaVonne DeBeaumont, organisations; Norene Me¬ rely. interschool relations; Dick Neher, bookstore; Pat Mace, stage, and Marie Johnson, publicity Serving as honorary members, but none the less active, were Lu- cile Angel!, Bob Oliver, Dick Garver, and Carol Cox. Besides maintaining and promoting the business of their certain offices the cabinet worked as a body in sponsor¬ ing the Homecoming parade and dance; presented an assembly; revised the Constitution and bydaws; promot¬ ed the passing of a bill making a double W the official letter for sports awards; and promoted the passing of many other bilk Including the assembly bill and the ad¬ visors bill. All In all the cabinet enjoyed another year of success and once again proved that students do have the Initiative to govern themselves efficiently. The Legislative Assembly was kept very busy the past year with canvassing for the Community Chest Drive, setting up the budget for the coming year and passing various bills. Under the leadership of Bob Andrews, th embly, the year was completed with a very successful record of Bob Andrews VICE-PRESIDENT Bob Burkhart TREASURER e chairman of the accomplishments.

The court has the dis¬ tinction of holding the longest court session on one case in the history of Wa-Hi student govern¬ ment This certainly proved the desire for justice on the court ' s part and with this spirit it is easy to see that the year was a successful one. Serving on the fall session of the court as appointed by the president of the student body were: Sally Mason, freshman; Homer Milbrath, and Joan Strange, sophomores; Carol Jean Carpenter and Jim Casper, juniors; and Dick Fleck, senior. Appointed for the spring session were: Ned L nge, freshman; Delora Tomlinson, and Merle Goble, sophomores; Marlene Oliver and Duane Lanchester, juniors; and Joanne Stringhem, senior, Joanne deserves a special vote of thanks for her fine job of heading the court in the chief justice ' s absence.

Kirk, Ray, Britton GIRLS ' FEDERATION The Girls ' - Federation of Wa-Hi, under the capable leadership of Lucile Angel! as President, has in the past year even surpassed its usual success. Elected to serve with Lucile were Norene McNeely as Vice-President, Joan Lee Robi nson as Secretary, and Virginia Gettman as Treasurer. At the beginning of this year, and of every year, the Federation has a party for all transfers put on by gEHs who sign up to work for it. The first frolic of the year wa$ put on by both the Boys ' and the Girls ' Federations, This was a Frosh Frolic. which, as the name implies, is for Freshmen who are admitted free. Senior counselling was started this year and has proven very satisfactory. Girls chosen to be counsellors are senior girls who are on the honor roll. They are assigned a certain number of Freshmen girls to whom they explain the organization of the school and give help and advise in adjusting them¬ selves scholastically and socially to high school The Girls ' Federation party is a big event given by the Sophomore girls. Costumes are worn, skits put on. and refreshments served. The renovation of the Dean ' s office was a big project of Girls ' Cabinet this year. All the work was done by the girls themselves with the exception of the painting of the ceiling and the laying of the new linoleum on the floor. The drapes were made by a com¬ mittee and the painting was done at night after school. Another transfer party was given at the end of the first semester. The annual Senior Tea was given the evening of April 4, April 8 and 9 were the days of the ti-State cqnferenoe, held in Pendleton, Oregon, to which the Federation sent the president, the secretary, and two junior girls, with the Dean, Mrs. Houghton. At the end of the first semester four junior girls, Barbara Berry, Marlene Oliver, Nancy Nessel, and Doris Proctor, were chosen to be members of the cabinet. These girls took the place of four seniors and are chosen because the experience gained will help them when they are seniors. The Federation this year has had girls and the faculty working in complete unity and har¬ mony. Without these two factors together the Federation cannot accomplish the standards set up for it. This is a word of thanks to the Cabinet, the Council, all the girls in Wa-Hi and to Mrs. Houghton, our Dean and adviser without whom Girls ' Federation could not function.

Sab Oliver PRESIDENT BOYS ' FEDERATION During the school year of 1948 and 1949, the Boys ' Federation carried out many activities. The student handbook called, The Blue Book was the main project of the .year. If coveredt Student Body Government, Student Body publications, social activities, school clubs, drawings of grounds and buildings, awards, departments, Boys ' Federa¬ tion and Girls ' Federation, the Shuffle Shop, assemblies, dramatic activities, and the marking system and honor roll. This handbook was publish¬ ed for the purpose of acquainting transfers and freshman with the school, its activities and organ¬ izations. Boys ' assemblies were held each month and included a large variety of entertainment. The Washington State Penitentiary Band, the Wags, a basketball game between the faculty and the intramural homeroom champions, a football as¬ sembly, a magic act, and a film on the 1947 World Series were Included. The Girls ' and Boys ' Federations worked to¬ gether to put on the Freshman Frolic at the be¬ ginning of the year and also co-operated to show the eighth graders around the school in the spring One of the main duties of the Boys ' Feder- ' ation Is to carry out a successful Intramural pro¬ gram during the school year. The intramural head, which this year Is Dick Garver, is appointed by the Boys ' Federation president. It is the duty of this manager to plan the games to be played, look after equipment, make public the games to be played and their results, and to figure up the winner of each sport. The Boys ' Federation awards a cup to the homeroom with the greatest number of points at the end of the year. The advisor for the Boys ' Federation this year was Mr. Ledbetter. He was the originator of the Blue Book and should be given credit for much of the work. During the year he arranged for the ihLoming transfers to be shown around the school and helped many students with their subject schedules and troubles. Tom Tumbow SEC.-TREAS.

Sometimes so many activities detract from the less exciting homework but Janice Knudsen, with her 3.9 (as nearly perfect as anyone could hope to get) and LaVonne DeBeaumonf kept the class scholastic record at the very top of the books. The class officers for the first semester were: Allen Klein, president; Jim Frogge, vice president; and Yancy Reset, secretary-treasurer. For the second semester, Nick Bussard served as president, Thure Ahlquist as vice president, and Louise Smith as secretary-treasurer. Both elections were knock¬ down and drag-out battles—almost as bad as the national elections. The Senior Play, You Can ' t Take If With You was given early In the year Was that a hint to the Seniors, to the underclassmen, or to both, to get as much out of high school as possible because they would never have the chance again? The Senior Ball was held the last part of April, and the longed-for and awaited day of the Senior sneak came early In May. The class of 49 wished the classes of P 5G, ' 51, and 52 as muc h fun and knowledge as they have gained In high school.

St o p—I o ok— I i s ten JUNIORS The class of ' SO has by no means been idle their junior year To start the year, Dwight Morrison was elected president and Vernon Schacht and Carol McLoughlin took over the duties of vice-president and secretary, respectively, Pat Wiley and Anita Steiner were the junior Girls ' Coun¬ cil representatives, while Mardice Demaray represented the Junior Class on Girls - Cabinet Dick Hawkins served as the junior member of Boys ' Federation Council To conclude the year, Dick Hawkins, Roger Cummings, and Bill Nreman were elected presi¬ dent, vice-president, and secretary, respectively. Gloria. Walker and Carolyn Tudy White took over the office of Girls ' Council while Priscilla Clem represented the class on Girls ' Cabinet. Talent was one thing that certainly wasn’t lacking. In the albschoo! talent assembly we found Dick Hunting as the Cisco Kid , and Billy Clayson doing a musical(?) number Jerry Jesseph and Bob McGowan presented one of their well known skits, Joan’s Other Husband. Lorene Mobley was In it, too lipping over her marimba like a professional. The Juniors were not conspicuous by their absence in the school plays either. Bob Cowles, Jerry Jesseph, Beverly Marcy, and Priscilla Clem displayed their talents in the all-school play. In the Girls’ Federation play we once more see Bev Marcy along with Pat McGee and Iva Lou Biggs. As far as music is concerned, the Juniors really have It Margaret Berry, Louise Server, Esther Baker, Nanette Newsum, Carol Jean Schmidt, Shirley Schmelier, Pat McGee, and Dianne Lasater sang in the Junior Girls ' Octet, while Rose LaRae Lott, Mary Fausti, and Gene Cherryholmes performed in the Double Mixed Quartet. The Portland Music Conference was attended by Mary Fausti, Louise Sarver, Gene Cherryholmes, Gordon Boyer, Ted Berry, and Charles Hiett. [Robert Hunt and Rose LaRae Lott, however, were detained because of measles.] Among miscellaneous activities we find Priscilla Clem as junior commissioner of the Shuffle Shop. Anita Steiner won a free trip to Chicago for her outstanding 4-H work Dick Ivester, Barbara Berry, Caro! McLoughlin, Shirley Stewart, and Carole Seeley served on the annual staff. Carol Car¬ penter and Jim Casper served on first semester Court while Marlene Oliver and Duane Lanchester took over second semester, (Incidentally, Duane took second place in the district oratorical con¬ test ] Barbara Berry and Marlene Oliver attended the Tri-State Girls’ Federation conference; these two girls were also chairmen of the Senior Tea. Max Hellberg added State Farmer to his laurels. Another thing the Junior Class has to brag about are its brainy students, fifty-nine of which were on the semester honor roll. Seven received straight A ' s.

By cutting down the price of printing and by selling increased number of annuals, it was hoped that w© could have an extra-special cover. With this thought in mind the staff and two other members of each class put on an extensive sales campaign for the 1949 Royal Blue Results? Over 820 annuals were sold (a record number] and enough money raised to purchase the new and different cover that enfolds this book The sales campaign completed and the covers ordered, the staff settled down to the real work for the book ' s production Gwen Willis, this year ' s editor, had as her very able assistants, Margaret KimmerJy, copy editor; Joan English, picture editor; Shirley Stewart, makeup editor; Carol Ann McLoughJm business manager; and Dick Ivester, chief photographer On the copy staff were Barbara Berry, Lillian Messer, and Patty Munsey, while Beverly Reynolds, Carole Ann Seeley, and Ruthie McLean helped with the make-up Cliff Hoovel, Orrin Anderson, John Jefferis and Priscilla Clem gave their time helping take the many pictures required- eh. The purchase of a new camera and an enlarger eased the job of the photographers very The Staff was exceedingly fortunate this year in having the fine work of Art Shimbo who offered to draw our division pages for us. He also exhibited his stilt as an artist by sketching the view of the gym, which appears on the end sheets, and the portalts of Mr, Jones and Mr. Lacey. Diet Garver toot time out from his many other school activities and used his sports knowledge to contribute aJI of the sports write-ups for this annual. The end of March found the final deadline Just a month away white each member of the staff found himself a little busier than the day before. Since twenty pages were added to, this year’s book the work on It was definitely increased also. Everyone was relieved when the last pages had been sent to the printers. Of the many students and teachers who helped and cooperated with the work of the 1949 Royal Blue, none deserves more thanks than Miss Gray, the Annual adviser. Without her continuous assistance and advice this book could not be the success that the Staff sincerely hopes it will be to the students of Wa-Hi- So businesslike!

Oh, he CANT have a class I have to see him this period. Those were familiar sounds to those who worked in the office of the Wa-Hi Daily Journal this year, but somehow a paper managed to emerge from the confusion every day The first problem facing the budding journalists when they returned to school in the fall was the housing shortage, having been evicted from their former home. The new Journal office is located in the small room between 301 and 302 Once located, the staff began the 7th year of daily publication of the paper. Dick Carver headed the staff as editor-in-chief, with Jean Newman acting as associate editor- Marie Johnson, as news editor, was in charge of the front page, while co-feature editors Jean Gilpatrick and Jean Newman handled the back page. Business details were taken care of by Cleatis Locati, business manager. Most of the writing was done by the reporters who included Margaret Kimmerly, Donna Keeling, Loretta Cooper, Marcille Frank, Lele Livengood, Lola Livengood, Shirley Gradwohl, and Jo Heimbigner. Besides being editor Dick Carver also acted as sports editor. Serving as typist was Bob Cowles. The staff was helped out of difficulty time after time by their beloved adviser, Miss McGovern, The advanced mimeographing department, with Mrs. McDonald as adviser, deserves recog¬ nition for producing the pa per. Second semester found Dick Carver and Jean Newman still heading the staff. Joanie Sher¬ wood became assistant news editor, helping out Marie Johnson. Margaret Kimmerly and Marcille Frank took over duties as co-feature editors with Joan Strange as assistant. Dick Carver, now ath¬ letics editor, wrote up basketball and baseball, while Buzz Barrett, as sports editor covered boxing and track. Forrest Patrick became assistant sports editor handling minor sports, Cleatis Loca+1 was helped at her post by Loretta Cooper, assistant business manager. New reporters were added. The reporting staff included Shirley Hignett r Dorla Dee Darling. Vera Barbuto, Lefa Livengood Joan Meumphreus, Jo Heimbigner, Donna Keeling, and Lola Livengood, Staff members worked to keep up the motto of the paper, student news for the students ' , with coverage and promotion of music, dramatics, sports, student government, society, and other school events. AN events up until noon are m print for the student body the following morning. Among back page articles, usually in the lighter vein, were columns, jokes, varied features, and news bits. School problems were aired through editorials, letters to the editor, and polls. The paper also incuded a free announcement service. Because it requires speed and accuracy to meet the daily deadline, close co-operation between staff members was an absolute must L he | Wa H ’ ‘ s a member of the National Scholastic Press Association. The Pacific Slope School Press, formed last year, claims the Journal as a charter member Two members of the staff, Jean Newman a.nd Joanie Sherwood, attended the PSSP conference in Seattle, April and 2, bringing back many ideas to be put to work on the Journal. Since 1941, when the daily was first printed, Wa-Hi s paper has received a first-class honor rating every year, except in 1944 when the Journal received All-American, highest rating possible.

DEPARTMENT The vocal department, under the direction of Doro¬ thy Griewe, has better than twenty percent of the Wa- Hi students enrolled in its various groups. The freshman boys ' glee club, freshman girls 1 glee club, advanced girls ' glee club and choir make up the large groups; and this year there have been five ensembles——double mixed quar¬ tet, junior girls’ octet, sophomore girls ' octet, freshman girls ' sextet, and freshman boys ' quartet. The two main projects of the year were the Christ¬ mas concert and the spring concert, with the entire de¬ partment participating in both. The, stage for the Christ¬ mas concert was probably the prettiest Wa-Hl has seen. At the back of the stage was a huge, evergreen wreath with garlands on either side and six big white candles in the foreground. The front of the stage was banked with evergreens and on either side were silvered trees. All this greenery was lighted with many small blue bulbs and made a very effective picture. The Various groups have entertained Wa-Hl and the community with many performances. During the Christ¬ mas season alone entertainment was provided for over twenty organizations. At the time of this printing, eighty appearances have been made by the different musical groups. It Is the aim of the department to give as many students as possible the privilege of learning how to per¬ form and to enjoy many different types of music and still keep a high standard in the work produced. It Is felt that this has been accomplished this year. Many students as well as members of the community have made it known that they are proud of Wa-Hi ' s vocal department.

Sweet- heart ,r YOU CANT TAKE IT WITH YOU Senior Play On November 17, if you bad stopped in at the Wa-Hi auditorium around 8:1 S p you would have seen a strange-looking character sitting at an antique desk, eating candy from a skull, and typing on a fifteen-year-old typewriter by the hunt and peck system You guessed it, the opening of the Senior play, You Can ' t Take It With You was Just as laughable as the rest of the play. Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman built their fast moving and side-splitting play-around the erratic family of the Sycamores bed by Grandpa Vanderhof, thts unusual clan had members such, as Essie, who had been taking dancing lessons for 8 years, her husband, Ed, who played the bass viol and printed menus for a hobby. Mr, Sycamore manufactured fireworks, and Penny Sycamore wrote plays because someone had sent her a typewriter by mistake 8 years before. The fun starts when the one sane member of the family, Alice Sycamore, falls in love with the son of a Wall Street broker, Tony Kirby, Tony and Alice try to bring the two families together. The course of action is to in¬ vite the Wall Street Kirbys to the Sycamore house for dinner. However, Tony gets the nights mixed up and the Kirbys walk in on a scene of utter pandemonium. The next hour goes from bad to worse and the situation, although funny, looks hopeless for Tony and Alice. The solution of the problem leads to a smashing climax and a successful Senior Play, PENELOPE SYCAMORE .........._.JEAN GJIPATRICK ESSIE.._..|.....JOAN LEE ROBINSON RHEBA ....„....MARGARET McDERMOTT PAULSYCAMORE ...NICK B U SS A ft D MR.

' ’ The lively plot began when vivacious Judy Foster set her heart on becoming queen of the Com¬ munity Relief Fund Drive. She set the sky as the limit in obtaining the winning amount of contribu¬ tions for the fund. Her numerous schemes became so complicated that the entire Foster family plus all their friends were involved. Entering contests was only a beginning. Her ambitions rose to enormous heights as she attempted to turn actress for some quick money: result—no money. Writing false ' true confessions did nothing but convince the townspeople that her mother was a bigamist. All seemed lost when her bitter enemy secured the most contributions, and was named queen, A timely attack of unqueenly hives put her highness in confinement and Judy! being next in line, reigned at the dance. The curtain lowered on a peaceful third act a contented family, and a queenly Judy.

Commissioner of As¬ semblies, to carry out this idea. Unfortunately not all have been up to the high standards desired, but several have surpassed expectations. For the second consecutive year the various service clubs have sponsored the pay ' 1 as¬ semblies. These have run a wide range of talent and interest. The Marionettes program seemed to be the most popular of these among-the students For the second time in three years, Solom Risk paid W a - Hi another visit and again was received with enthusiasm Mr Turner, famous penman, dis¬ played his versatility before an appreciative and astonished audience A talk on astronomy was given by Harry G. Johnson, expert on such matters, who displayed several actual meteorites and showed pictures of the moon, stars, and craters Several of the scheduled pay assemblies had to be cancelled, but it is hoped that they will be available at some future time. Then there were the popular club assemblies featuring club talent The keynote of these presentations was variety with the emphasis on humor. Several assemblies have been presented for so many consecutive years that they have become a tradition. Under this category comes the King for a Day Assembly, presented annually by the Girls ' Sports Club. This year Bill Erdman was the lucky boy chosen to reign as king, Hi-Y presented their very beautiful religious assembly on Good Friday. Class assemblies have come into the limelight this past year, with the lively Junior Class assembly as an outstanding example. The aforementioned were mostly humorous and entertaining, but not all the traditional events are of that variety. Two assemblies were dedicated to the traditional tapping of the National Honor Society. The Christmas program presented by the music department and featuring familiar and new carols sent the Student Body off In high spirits for the Christmas vacation Award assemblies given in the fall and spring are of special Interest to the majority of the students and are awaited with much speculation and anticipation. The Legislative Assembly passed a bill which will improve the assemblies in the years to come. This has been the earnest desire of the Commissioners of Assemblies in the past and it has finally become a reality this year, A mixture of information and entertainment, well seasoned with humor, makes a good assembly schedule and it Is hoped that this mixture has been achieved this year.

Two of the shows were the Stack of Hots request program aired over station KWWB On this half-hour student requests were played, and school activities were announced. The Stacie of Hots was presented on Tuesdays and Fridays, On Tuesdays it was sponsored by the Dainy Maid Bakery The other production, Wa-HMites, was presented on Monday nights at seven over KUJ. tts format included news, a sports commentary, and a feature. The features included interviews, on- the-spot recorded broadcasts, school talent, and short dramatic productions. In addition to the regularly scheduled programs, several special broadcasts were made in con¬ junction with such community functions as the Community Chest and Red Cross fund campaigns. In February a six-member panel spoke before a luncheon of the Federated Women ' s Clubs of Walla Walla, Their subject was Youth Conservation. Four of the five students who attended the Uni¬ versity of Washington Speech Festival were from Advanced Speech Early in the year the Speech Department procured a tape-recorder Later on a sound cabinet was built. This equipment greatly facilitated special broadcasts and dramatic productions. One of the final big events of the year was the annual Toastmasters ' Club contest, held on May ninth All in all, the students in Advanced Speech spent a very active year, and enjoyed a well-balanced Speech course ADVANCED SPEECH CLASS At the first of the year,, when the Royal Blue staff planned this boolc, it had no ideaj of how unusually successful this year would be for Wa-Hi, On these pages the Royal Blue presents a review of the many honors received by the students of Wa-Hi In 1948-49. Few high schools are as fortunate as Wa-Hi in having the cooperation and backing of an organization like the Walla Walla Booster Club. One of the many activities ' of the group was assistance in making possible the purchase of the new band uniforms. Besides providing a score board at Borleske Stadium, the club adver¬ tised tke various athletic contests, presented watch charms to all the players and gave a dinner for the team members of the district. The Booster Club has been active in stimulating the interest among Walla Walla people in the activities of the school.

By spon¬ soring dances and frolics, presenting assemblies, taking care of the Shuffle Shop, and contributing money for various school projects, they play an important part in school life. The major¬ ity of the dubs have no special entrance requirement, other than the vote of the members, but some, such as Dramatics, Ski Art, etc., require some special skill or talent. Some, such as Legentes, are organized around a spcial interest. Each has a faculty member as an adviser. These clubs are intended to develop responsibility and per¬ sonality in individuals- provide hn opportunity for service to the school- and an outlet for excess energies. A both longed- for and dreaded day occurs each semester as clubs initiate new members and the victims are seen dragging through the hills, longing for the day to end. The climax of club activity comes each year at the spring award assembly, when a cup is presented to the club which is judged to have contributed the most to the school during the past year.

Junior captain Rich Mead played outstanding ball In the state tournament as he did through¬ out the season. , Mead had a total of 350 points for the season to become the leading Devil scorer. The 6 t guard was named to the all-state second team Mead was among the five top scorers in the state tournament. Forward Dwight Morrison was also an outstanding player throughout the season. The 6 J 6 M junior was the second highest Wa-Hi scorer with 335 points. n Big Red ' P Morrison was also among the top five state tourney scorers, giving Walla Walla two men in that select group. Morrison was named to the all-state third team. Junior forward Larry Morrison, Dwight smaller 6‘ brother, completed the Wa-Hi forward com¬ bination of Morrison and Morrison, and contributed 131 points to the Blue and White cause during the season. The two seniors of the starting lineup who won ' t be back next year are three year letterman guard Bob Andrews and two year letterman center 64 fK Terry Lynch. Andrews netted 189 points, and was a key defensive man in Coach Wooten s lone defense. Six foot, one inch Andrews was a eool ballplayer when under fire and the game was dose. Terry Lynch was described as the best Wa-Hi player In the state tournament by Coach Wooten, although Terry failed to make any of the all-star teams. Lynch was the best defensive player of the team, and he used his height effectively on the backboards. Wa-Hi 51 Wa-Hi 38 Wa-Hi 42 Wa-Hi -23 Wa-Hi 26 Wa-Hi 23 ___Mac-Hi 31 ..Kennewick 25 .

Walla Walla was forced to use the back door in entering the state tournament for the twentieth time. The Demons beat Seattle Prep in their first district tourney test at Cheney, The second night the Devils disposed of Wenatchee to earn the right to meet Central Valley in the championship game the third night. Central Valley repulsed the Wa-Hi try. 50 to 32. forcing the Blue and White to play a second game with Seattle Prep to decide the number two district representative. Thd Devils took care of Prep for the second time, 37-30, to earn a ticket to Seattle. Besides the afore¬ mentioned teams, Pullman, Clarkston, and Omak also competed In the district play-off. , At the State tournament, a favored Wa-Hi team was beaten the first game by a second half Longview rally, 36 to 34. This forced the Blue Devils into the consolation round at the tournament where they defeated Snohomish. 49-37, and Nooksack Valley, 49-37, to earn the privilege of play¬ ing for the consolation cbampionships and fifth place in the tournament. The Devils ' opponent was Centra! Valley, C.V. was ahead 32-23 at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth period Wa-Hi put. on the greatest rally of the tournament to overtake and beat Central Valley, 52-50. This gave Wa-Hi fifth and Central Valley eighth in the tourney.

Regular pep assemblies were held In the gym prior to the games to encourage pep and attendance. These pep assemblies consisted of a variety of yells, skits, band numbers and some student participation in contests. Two very successful serpentines were held during football season in which many students participated. All this plus the huge Home¬ coming Parade were headed by the Yell Squad. This ' parade included seventeen beautiful floats, the Wa-Hi band, representatives of the visiting teams and decorated cars. The floats were spon¬ sored by the various school clubs and organijations. Because of the high competitive spirit, the floats were extremely attrative this year, the cup being won by Gimmel Teth. Another feature of this year ' s activities was the burning of the W at the homecoming game. The yell staff was also responsible for any send-offs before the departure of the team. Near the end of each school year, tryouts are held to select juniors who campaign for the two positions left vacant by the graduating seniors. The boy and girl elected then become Yell King and Queen during their senior year.

The commissioner promoted a new idea to bring out larger crowds by changing the time the club would be open from every day except Sunday to only Wednesday and Saturday nights Also, on Friday nights it could be found open if there «ere no school activities. This change made possible a lower ticket price. The student body president appointed Bob Williams as Commissioner of Shuffle Shop, and Bob, in turn T appointed his assistants They were Don Ramer, senior, in charge of finances; Priscilla Clem, junior, in charge of the snack bar; Suzanne Skubinna, sophomore, head of ticket sales; and Roily Jones, freshman, appointed the second semester to keep up the supplies To earn points for the service plaque the clubs of Wa-Hi cleaned, painted, decorated, and donated equipment to the club. The Shuffle Shop has capably served its purpose as a meeting place and social center for the Wa-Hi student body.

A new note in the line of music featured the Wa-Hi dance orchestra. A contest for the name of the orchestra was sponsored by the Annual with Seven Teeners being the name chosen. Dennis Fahey received a free ticket to the dance for submitting this name. Decorations were outstanding. Multi-colored balloons were floating everywhere and an image of the front of an Annual with silver stars add¬ ed formed the background for the Queen ' s throne. A very unusual effect was produced with a punch bowl hollowed out of a block of ice. Little devils with initials of the couples attending the dance written on them were clever also.
