May I have your attention, please,” can be heard coming over the inter-ccommunication system from the office to the classrooms an- nouncing the meetings and activities of the day. The loud speaker system came to us along with the new school and the new Office for the Superintendent, Mr. Dent, his secretary, Phyllis Hayden, and the Principal, Mr. Moberg. The Superintendent's office is now more convenient than before as it is subdivided; the outer office, where school business is transacted, and Mr. Dent's private sanctuary where discipline cases, financial affairs, and the school policy is formulated. | | FACULTY AUTOGRAPHS fe DPHohony | ” ye res| tArt4ts 1 4 Arvella Dorene Karnes, Born: Portland, Oregon, Girls League 1-2-3-4, Class Play 1-3-4, Student Body Play 4, Sigma Tau 1- 2-3-4, Sigma Tau Treas. 3, Sigma Tau Pres. 4, Paper Staff 3-4, Paper Staff Editor 4, Annual Staff 2-4, Annual Staff Art Edi- tor 2-4, Pep Club 2-3-4, Girls State 4, Sen- ior Service Club 4, Yell Leader 2, Glee ue 1-2, Radio Club 3, Ambition—Unde- cided.

A. S. T. in the metropolis of Warrenton, Oregon. Tonight, is the anniversary of a very important event in my life. Ten years ago tonight, 1, along with seventeen other students, graduated from Warrenton High School. Today, Warrenton High School is the most beautiful, modern high school in the state, and I am one of the proud Alumni. But what of the other seventeen people who graduated with me that night? What are they doing now? I have not seen many of my fellow classmates since our class reunion five years ago. But with a little hard work, I located every one of them. Tonight, as a special feature, 1 am going to give a first-hand report of the graduating class of 1950. Not all of the class has settled in this town, so first, I will report on those who are elsewhere in the world. With the help of my good friend, Russ Packard, owner of the Packard Detective Agency, and a few of his many employees, I found them, making this report possible. In Los Angeles, California, I found Nellie Nichols, ace woman news- caster, highly acclaimed by the top radio men of the nation. In Chicago, I found Ronald Marsh, owner of a small cross-country airlines. But here’s a tip, ladies and gentlemen, the West Coast Airlines will soon be under his ownership. A wire came to me from one of Russ’s agents in Paris which said, Lillian Johnson was in Paris teaching the French the finer points of designing. Her latest book, ‘ Well Dressed,” is now on sale. Jeanne Graham was found in Brazil where she is a successful missionary. She will soon return to the States to make a speaking tour. During a business trip, I had the opportunity to see several of my class- mates personally. I found Beverly Summers lounging on the beach at Miami. Her red hair has brought her fame. She is now starring in N. G. N.'s Red Head.” Her last picture was the academy award winner, ‘No Dice.” Russ, himself, traveled to Alaska to talk to Bud Ragland. Martin Ragland, as the public knows him, just last year ‘discovered a gold mine which made him fabulously wealthy. Mr. Ragland has been prominent in politics for several years. Here's another tip. The next governor of Alaska—Martin Ragland. In Arizona, I found John Rice, soil conservation expert. John has been assigned by the President of the United States to study the irrigation problem in Arizona, 14 oy : a n - . | ol. h _ = 7 ca) ; : a : = O41: - o a tea ee a = ees ‘oe - @¢-Gu e8 98 8:7 vt 7 Se - ope © 4 sa a 2 Pe oo = we = 2 =? — a” 2 oes 7 ie . Ms oO _ | ie —_ Site? 7 e 6%¢ m-e « ed Carolyn Corkill, outstanding woman writer of our time, is also a member of our graduating class. Carolyn is in New York now for the grand opening of the movie, ‘Skid Row,” taken from her novel. This is exactly half of our class. Scattered throughout the world, they have achieved success, and I am proud to claim them as classmates. The other half, however, are right here in our own fair city. They have helped in their way to make Warrenton what it is today. On East Skipanon street, you can find the most modern garage in Warren- ton. Owner, Bill Coffey. Bill started by working in his father’s garage ten years ago. Down the street farther, on 62nd street, stands Wilson's Drug Store. Owners, F. M. Wilson Son, Bob. Bob has been in charge of the business for several years since his father’s retirement. One of our classmates did not select a career in the strictest sense of the word. She has, however made a career out of her home life. In last months, Housewife Magazine,” Arvella Karnes was chosen housewife of the year. Arvella is a member of the class of ‘50. Gloria Nichols, another of our classmates, can be found at Warrenton High School where she is teaching English, journalism and Latin. Julie Olson's beauty salon on Main Street is doing a wonderful business. Julie, a member of the class of ‘50, is indeed a success. The last three members of the class aren't actually settled here in War- renton, their businesses keep them traveling quite frequently. Their homes are here, so we are proud to have them as citizens. My very good friend, Loren Marsh, once a mechanic and racing car driver, is now a multi-millionaire promoter. You all remember Loren who twice drove in the Indianapolis five-hundred-mile race and finally won the event. Norman Doney, star quarterback for the New York Giants, is in town now waiting for the grand apening of professional football this fall. There is some talk that Norman may soon become manager of the Giants. We hope so. Last but far from least, is Gary Walker. Gary is a graduate of the Univer- sity of Oregon, where he made the All-American basketball team for two years. He is now President of the Oregn Athletic Association. This finishes my report on the Warrenton High School graduating class of 1950. I am sure that all of the people of Warrenton are proud of the m. I am proud and happy to be a member of this class of successful people. That's all the time now so until tomorrow night when I shall be back with my regular features. Good night. 15 JUNIORS Ist row: 2nd row: 3rd row: 4th row: 5th row: Williams, May, Klein, Gray, Riley, Corkill. Nygaard, DeHaven, Jensen, Bjornstrom, Lee, Braley.

Juniors Bearing the coveted title of upper classmen, the Junior class got off to a good start by electing the following officers: President, Bud Plummer; Vice President, Jim Hudelson; Secretary, Roberta Simonsen; Treasurer, Ruth Ann Smith. This year they were to be seen proudly showing off their class rings which were received at the semester. With the help of their class advisor, Mr. White, the Juniors took over the sale of ice cream and candy’ during the lunch periods. On the evening of November ninth there was held in the grade school auditorium, a Sadie Hawkin’s Dance sponsored by the class. Kids in Dog- patch styles danced on a floor covered with hay. The walls were covered with brown, orange, and yellow streamers. Their three act play entitled, ‘’Willie’s Weekend”, presented on March 17, was a financial success and well received by the public. This was the first play the class has ever attempted. As is traditional at Warrenton High, they found themselves decorating for the Prom. The gym dressed in a novel way, and the class was proud of a job well done. The Junior-Senior Banquet under their sponsorship was held the last of May. 18 SOPHOMORES I TSR SR CS Front row, left to right: Moberg, Mendenhall, Bjorkman, Sickler, Brim, C. Summers, Kelley, J.

Soph omore Giles, It was a new Sophomore class that entered the brand new, modern school building—namely, Warrenton High, on September 19, 1949. After a few weeks of school the Sophomores decided to give the Freshmen an initiation that they would long remember. Thus, the Sophomores initiated the Frosh with no casualties reported. Two school dances were sponsored. One, the Mardi Gras which was an enjoyable event and the other, held in the first part of the school year, was well attended and very successful. The class is very budget minded because of the responsibilities confronting them in their Junior and Senior years and are conse- quently trying to think of ways and means to swell the treasury. Officers elected were: Carolyn Summers, President; Bob Sickler, Vice President; Julia Corkill, Treasurer; Sarah Gray, Secretary; Mrs. Sargent, Mr. Moberg, Advisors. 20 21 FRESHMEN | Iii. t — i ili | | Senplaersesiisoresmeret nl Sallihnmpianaetioteem tt eeaieastiiescemnene (Se ora ae eraemetmamS Seeetinilameeeapunocestooeencenen al Scammetnnensceantmeaineenn ied ee ALR AAR SRSESN A S| Oe ANIA Ht ome te — = = nes = oer —! ‘ Front row, left to right: man, Culp, Gray, Harrod, Hopkins, Davis, Lee. 2nd row: Geil, Erlich, Ferguson, Hansen, Dunn, Black Johnson, Herglund, Talfourd, Lacey, Gramson, Nichols, Johns, Chase, Hitch- , Shepherd, Beachell, Bj t BENG ES Oe cca ace. p eache jornstrom, Kerr, Brandt, 3rd row: Erlich, Wilkes, Stratton, Bradley, Watson, Reed, Smotherman, Ritila, Gronnel, Andrews, Doney, Mattson, Miller, Cochran, Hansen, Orand. hr (fix A large class of fifty-six students entered the new Warrenton High School on September 19, 1949. A week later came the ordeal of initiation. The girls were far from glamorous in their long underwear, hip boots, straight hair, and no make-up. While the boys went back to their younger days and wore diapers, they also had their hair in pin curls and some of them looked very natural with lipstick smeared on their faces. The entire class had their fill of the odor of garlic, which they had strung around their neck. The class officers elected October ]lth, were: Wal- lace Reed, President; Gene Martin, Vice President; Nancy Lacey, Secretary; and, Susan Hopkins, Treasurer. They sponsored a Backward Dance after much dis- cussion about what to do to raise money. The dance was a big success for the girls asked the boys and paid ex- penses. The Freshmen are looking forward to next year as a less restless and more organized group. 23 Vollmer, ATHLETICS lk ie Ha ks hetsell, Ra land, Alsman, Hu e on W alke Boe kard, Dyer, Hansen. Front row: Dae nee Back row: Football Coach Carl White and assistant coach Harry Geil, worked hard to whip the Warriors into shape as they faced an eight game schedule. Two of these games were non league games. These however gave the Warriors little trouble. It was in league play that they lost two games, these being to the first and second place teams. The Warriors took third place as they showed deception on their running plays, and gained consistantly through the air. Of a squad of twenty-six, graduation will claim five. Most of the regulars will be back next year. With two years of experience in eleven man football behind them, the future looks bright for the ever fighting Warriors. 1, P Back row: . ; � Clapp. ackard, See ts ummer, Coffey 1 NE Sheph Y, Hansen, ‘ Il, Broderick, wr She Bud Plummer—A good offensive end. Bud caught his share of the passes and blocked well. Gary Walker—An all around good ball player and a defensive asset to the team. Don Hawks—A rugged charging guard. This boy made it tough on opposing backs. Don Whetsell—A good defensive and offensive center who backed up the line very well. Don has the intestinal fortitude and the fight of a Missouri mule. Bud Ragland—A scrappy guard, who handled his post well. He was small but solid. Gerald Alsman—He did his job well; on offense or defense. Gerald hits hard when tackling. Jim Hudelson—A pass snaring end. Jim got down field fast and could get up in the air for high passes. Bill Coffey—A speedy back. Bill made his yardage around the ends. Russ Packard—Team captain and a hard driving, hard fighting back. Keith Dyer—Co-captain and quarter-back. Keith ran the team well. Many of his passes found their marks for touchdowns. Charles Hansen—Every team has its speedy swivel hipped back. Charlie was ours, and a good one. He could hit that line hard and was a sparkplug to the team. Harley Crowder—A hard hitting back. Harley will be in there hitting the line again next year. Eugene Gray—A sturdy lineman. His head charging broke up many of the opposing teams’ plays. Bud Broderick—Bud has the weight needed in the line. With one year of experience behind him, Bud will prove himself next year. Earl Graham—One of- the many contestants for a tackle spot. Earl helped strengthen the weak links in the line. 27. AN a: “elt n W P fe) Pl Hixson akeman, ackard, Hudels n, ‘ ' White Walker, Hansen. Jense Marsh, Dyert. Alsman. (Bod htldé The league battle was close and Coach White and the Warriors were in the race up to almost the last game. The Warriors consistantly made it tough on the contenders for first place in the league. Coach White’s squad contained many lower classmen. This factor assures us of a successful season next year. Of the starting ten, six will return next year, and with the new material, championship hopes are high.

Russ Packarf—Also a senior, Russ was always in there, fighting. He came through when needed most. Charles Hansen—Junior. One of the fastest men on the team, Charlie served well on both offense and defense. Bud Plummer—A_ hard-driving junior guard, outstanding on defense because of his speed. Loren Marsh—A hard-fighting back-board man, Loren is a senior and has played his last game for WHS. Jim Wakeman—tThe tallest man on the team and a sophomore. Jim developed well this year and will probably be a starter next year. Fred Jensen—Another tall timber, Fred also developed this year. He is a rugged back-board man. Alfred Hixson—Sophmore. One of the best shots on the ball club, Alf has two more years to score for WHS. Keith Dyer—Junior. Keith was also a good shot, and a hard-fighting guard, who scored frequently on long shots. Jim Hudelson—A junior and one of the high scorers in the league. A good shot and back-board man. 29 (Excath ld The Warrenton Warriors waited three weeks for good weather in which to start baseball. Finally on March 24, Coach White called his Warriors for a brief limbering-up practice. Coach White had an eighteen man squad with which to work. As a nucleus, he had six following lettermen: Crowder, catcher and outfielder; Hudelson, first base; Packard, pitcher and outfielder; Walker, third base; Plummer, outfielder and third base; Ford, outfielder and second base. The squad also included the following non-lettermen: Bjorkman, Corkill, Black, Whetsell, Dyer, Alsman, Rice, Hixson, Johnson, B. Vollmer, Davis and Smotherman. Coach White had a difficult task to equal the outstanding record of last years team which won the baseball championship of District I and II and in competition for the State Championship in class B, won third place. 30 o “ eet “4 ah) s uy Teen a a . nat es _ “ ‘ Paes” cs t es ae fs a7) 4° Or —_ Saf First row left to right: Geil, Alsman, Ford, Hansen, Ragland, Wilson, Hawks, Grey, Whetsell, Crowder.

The Lettermen’s Club got off to a fine start this year with the election of the below listed men for the school year 1949-1950. With the able leadership of our President, interest in the club and among the members was revived and once again the Lettermen’s Club at Warrenton High is an important factor in the school life. Newly elected Lettermen were duly initiated to the delight of everyone but the initiates. One of the most important decisions made by the club was to the effect that only those men who have earned their ‘‘W’ will be permitted to wear the same on their sweater. This eliminates quite a few who have previously enjoyed the privilege, and who actually didn’t earn the coveted “W”. The Club will miss the graduating seniors who have been members of the Lettermen’s Club from one to four years. Namely: Russ Packard, Don Whetsell, Bud Ragland, Bill Coffey, Loren Marsh, Gary Walker, Bob Wilson, and Ron Marsh.

The girls all showed courtesy and good sportsmanship through the entire season. The seasca closed with eight victories and no defeats for an average of 1000. This makes the second year the girls have been undefeated! We are very proud of this excellent record. The most exciting game of the season was at Westport. The score was tied at the end of the game 29 to 29. We played six minutes overtime and beat them by three points. The “B” volleyball string was comprised of members from every class. They won four games and lost two. The girls all showed good sportsmanship in the face of defeat. With this team most of the A string prospects for next year look very promising.

They really backed up the team and kept everyone's pep with the traditional yells and songs. Don Hansen and Lillian Johnson were respectively yell king and queen. Assistants were Jo Ellen Nichols, Barbara Nichols, and Bob Wilson. At the end of the football season; Lillian was unable to continue as yell leader, and Ruth Ann Smith was elected to take her place for the rest of the year. Pep rallies were another enjoyable chore they faithfully performed. Their yells and pep talks seemed to boost the team’s spirit 100 per cent. The letters they received at the end of the year were hard earned and well deserved. 35 First row left to right: C. Summers, May, Hensley, Wilson, J. Nichols, Hitchman, Karnes, B. Nichols, Klein.

They elected Nellie Nichols, president; Pearl Klein, vice president; and Beverly Summers, secretary-treasurer. The club consists of sixteen members. At the beginning of the year the two new members who are annually elected from the Freshman class were Nancy Hitchman and Barbara Nichols. Don Hansen was elected Yell King with Barbara Nichols, Ruth Ann Smith, Jo Ellen Nichols, and Bob Wilson as his assistants. A change in uniforms was made this year. The new uniform has a purple skirt with a white kick pleat in the front and back and of course the traditional white sweater with the Pep Club emblem. A formation drill was given during the half time period of the Seaside basketball game. The colorful new uniforms added to the effectiveness of the drill. Sec. Beverly Summers, Pres.

With this arrangement it is a more active club. At the suggestion of the county advisor it was decided to call the Try-Y club, Sigma Tau, Greek letters which mean ‘We stand together.” The activities sponsored this year were two pajama parties, the annual night club dance, which we called the Blue Room, a Valentine’s day dance, with the theme of Candy Land. The official initiation banquet was held at the Marquee. The Sigma Tau club was the only club in the country to send repre- sentatives to the Mid-Winter conference. The representatives were Gloria Nichols and Arvella Karnes.

The tradition of Big and Little Sisters was resumed as in previous years. Also, according to the custom, a party was held at the end of the year to reveal the identity of the Big Sisters to the Little Sisters. A Father and Daughter Banquet was held during the last month of May in the school cafeteria. ; Da eT ee p - -9 LL Petre Department The first appearance of the mixed chorus was on the ‘Open House” program in the new Warrenton High School building. Following this occasion, the Christmas program given on December 21, 1949, used dramatic talent as well as music. ‘Grandpa Hangs the Holly” was the well-received play. A candlelight procession preceded the play and several numbers were sung by the various vocal groups. The Easter program given on April 5, 1950 also was a combination of audience-student singing and short drama given by a freshman group. The play, ‘The Light in the Window”, had Viola Gramson and Don Hansen in the leading roles. The high school band of ten members presented several This was the group’s second public performance, having played numbers. between halves of one of the basketball games. The final production of the year was a minstrel show, ‘Land O’ Cotton,” given by the boys’ Glee Club. The high school band openéd the program and a group of folk-songs and dances were presented by the girls’ Glee Club. Due to inclement weather and absenteeism, the usual operetta was omitted this year, but, it will be a major production next year.

Sadie J a Annual As Editor of the Annual, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff for their cooperation and untiring efforts towards producing the Warrior. I would also like to express my thanks to our advisors, Mrs. Gibson and Mr. Moberg, for their support, patience and encouragement without whose help this yearbook would have been an impossibility. We are happy to have proven that Warrenton High can edit a printed annual from a financial point of view and hope we have established a precedent. We, of the annual staff, have endeavored to make this Warrenton Warrior of ‘50 a treasure house of memories which will be cherished forever.

For the first time in many years the staff seeks to be of service to the school and community. Bright little personals based on fact have replaced sly insinuations based on prejudice or fancy. Accurate reporting has taken the place of rumor. At the same time, the staff members have learned to entertain cleverly and intelligently and creative writing seems to blossom when it has a plot in which to grow. Editorial and feature content are stressed in this year’s newspaper improvement program.
